It’s incredibly sad how, in the end, Tsurumi made the choice to give up on his wife and daughter’s bones over the treaty, despite holding onto them for so long because they were the only proof left that his family ever existed. When he realizes they’re entirely gone, crushed by the train, he finally shows an expression of deep sorrow. He has nothing left, didn’t have for years, and finally he confirms what we’ve known for a while: the truth that he’s got a deep personal grudge against Wilk for destroying the one part of his life he was happy about.Not that it’s surprising, seeing how he killed Sofia and how we figured he lied in the church to confuse Koito and Tsukishima. Still, I was surprised by how much this hatred made him want to make Asirpa, Wilk’s daughter, pay for all of this. Meanwhile, Sugimoto used the gold he managed to find in order to defeat Tsurumi and protect Asirpa. Despite how sad it is, I truly enjoyed how Sugimoto vs Tsurumi is in fact about who’s going to be able to let go of the past in order to believe in a better future.Both are war veterans who believed they would at some point rot in hell, but Tsurumi couldn’t let go of war and couldn’t forgive Wilk’s involvement in his family’s death, so he fought for revenge. Meanwhile Sugimoto gave up on the gold he finally managed to find (which he first sought for Umeko’s sake, so that he would have a place to come home to) so that he’d get Asirpa out of this mess.These last chapters destroyed me. I guess all we have left to read about is whether Sugimoto is truly immortal or not (and for Asirpa to go home to Huci). Could go either way and I know I’ll cry. -- source link
