A word-for-word translation

B：主人公しゅじんこうに合あった最後さいごだったよね

It’s a natural phrase.
If you want other words, you can use 相応ふさわしい or ぴったり for ‘fitting’.

Some people pronounce 相応ふさわしい as ‘そうおうしい‘, but It’s said to be wrong.
However, the adjective verb 相応そうおうな is read as ‘そうおうな‘.
Both words have the same meaning; 相応あいおうじている状態じょうたい (相あい=one another + 応おうじる=be balanced).
For your information, 応おうじる has two main meanings; to respond and to be balanced.
