| It would be shame if Balsa tripped or threw the egg too early xD Glad it's not like that Now off to the final episode I hope they're all safe and sound I don't know what's the empreror's order to Shuga, I hope it's not something bad |

| Wow, that was quite the episode. Loved it. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| It was epic, Tanda was important to the end too, I never expected something like this when I first started this story, it was said he had no spiritual aptitude, but he was able to do what Torogai wasn't, and linked everyone to Nayug. Their fight against that horde of La Lungas was pretty epic too, it was only a matter of time before they were ripped apart, but the sun rose, and everything was alright, even the Nahji came, and the egg was successfully brought into this world. Poor little bear cub though. Welp, now there's only the end left. |

| Contgrats Chagum! It's a boy! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| The penultimate episode for the show was beautiful, unique and superbly thought out and executed. It definitely feels unconventional since it doesn't have an exact final boss other than the egg eaters trying to get Chagum, and there's no exact hero that saves the day since in a sense, Chagum, Balsa and Tanda all saved the day in unglamorous but brilliantly written ways. Chagum wanting to give birth to the spirit and survive, Balsa keeping her promise to return by Chagum's side, Tanda putting his body on the line to actually combat the first strike against the egg eaters and conceiving the idea of everyone eating the sig saluas to be able to see and fight, hell even Shuga only was able to give information in the end and not actually fight himself along with Torogai. The scene where Balsa and Tanda assist Chagum with giving birth to the spirit and then once done, having Balsa throw the egg to the sky to have one of the birds catch and fly away with it was amazingly done (you could even assume that the bird that Sagum let fly away before his death could be the one to catch the egg that was given birth by Chagum). Chagum legitimately felt like a parent to that egg and you could say, really matured throughout the show to embrace the egg rather than use it as a tool to feel pity and depression for himself given how no one could understand what he was going through. Seirei no Moribito doesn't take the classic approach that most people expect and get excited by with the final battle, but what it does take is a beautiful one. Uehashi's vision of folklore and Kamiyama's vision of bonds between characters (especially when creating the original episodes that were used to fill the gaps in the best way possible) merged really beautifully to conceive such a great penultimate episode that delivered extremely highly in the folklore, supernatural, fantasy side to the story while characterizing Chagum, Balsa and the others in such satisfying ways too. One more episode to go, and man I'm sad already that I'll be done with this rewatch. This was a great show when I first saw it but kind of forgot about it over the years, now I'll never be able to forget it. Truly one of the most captivating and beautiful shows I've ever seen in my entire life. |
| That was a nice climax. Although, that birth scene was awkward. lol |
| The egg was finally taken out of Chagum, and taken by the bird that he took care of. How fitting. |
Everyone is alive! Yay! It was an emotional episode, with Chagum letting go of what has been his "fate" so far and in a similar way to his brother with the bird. The power of learning and studying history, communicating and sharing information, that was the key :D |
