After settling the fight with Ishimaru, Sakuna decides to battle the great serpent Oomizuchi to protect the island. However, Tama-jii tells her that the power of her divine raiment alone won't be enough to defeat Oomizuchi.

The only way is to melt down Tama-jii, who is the other half of the broken star soul sword, and reforge him into a new weapon. Sakuna refuses, knowing that doing so would cause Tama-ji to lose his mind and voice.

Very emotional episode. R.I.P Tama-jii. :( I feel bad for Sakuna.

Well, it was the right thing to do, after all.

And now, it's time for the final battle.

I haven't play this game, but judging from its anime adaptation, it must be a good game.

Sakuna had already hit me in the feels multiple times and here we go again :(

Unless the finale is a complete miss then I think I know now that Sakuna will be my favourite anime of the summer season. The current rating of 6.5 is too low.

😢 Rest in peace Tama-jī 😢
You taught Sakuna well, now she needs you in another form.
Even if you can't talk to her, you will be with her, helping her achieve her goals.
Now go and tell her parents how far their daughter has come.
They will be happy to see you again.

Sakuna learns the most painful of lessons, learning to let go...

Jii is the best pops one can ask for.

All the hoes that appear are so nice beautifully crafted. I want both the strongest that Kinta crafted and a Hoshidama hoe.

More screentime for Lady Toyohana and Lord Takeribi. Both that barely appear in the game.
Lady Toyohana as always beautiful.

Thinking about it, Tama-jii spent more time with Sakuna than her own parents.

I remember this plot point in the game, though I remember it playing out differently... Guess we'll see how it shapes up next week!

I do feel for Sakuna. Sometimes, you do need to make tough decisions when it comes to overcoming a difficult obstacle. In this case, it was for Tama-jii to be melded into a weapon for Sakuna to use in order to stand a chance of winning against Omizuchi.

Seeing her being heavily against the idea was perfectly understandable, but eventually, the tough choice had to be done when Sakuna was asleep. It was expected of her to be upset about it, but the spirit of Tama-jii does live on in the sword and reminded the words to Sakuna for her to stand up and be strong.

This was an episode that had more touching moments than I expected to see and it was really well done. Here's hoping that Sakuna takes down Omizuchi and bring peace to the island in the final episode.

Way to hit us with an emotional before the finale.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

The evil god Omizuchi: a water dragon that Takeribi had once defeated with the Blade of Hoshidama, and with it broken, he cannot be defeated. However, half of the substitute...is right there?

Tama is that half of the Blade, but Sakuna can't afford to lose him, much less depend on other people to constantly repair her weapon and Divine Raiment to be fine for the job. And with the island almost roaring into a rage, there's no time to waste. Kokorowa handing a short blade to her, which worked out alright, it's actually Tama in disguise trying to convince her that convertng him into the sword is the only way to defeat Omizuchi, as a way to atone for her parents. And in the face of the Isle of Demons slowly turning into a demon island, Sakuna has no choice but to allow Tama be forged into the half of the Hoshidama blade.

Even at the worst, the rice fields still have to continue to be cultivated, and Tama spending his last days growing rice with Sakuna and the rest sure bring emotional feels. And even though the Last Supper with Tama is just that while everyone is hiding something from Sakuna, the forging is done overnight without her knowing, leaving the hoe imbued with Tama's soul as the final weapon.

The spirit that once seen her together from the days in the palace, now converted into a weapon. There's no time to cry, but finish what he started.

Goodbye Tama, you will be missed. But that new weapon looks pretty cool.

Very sad episode 😭

One more episode remains...

Rip Tama-jii :⁠(
I need somebody who can love me at my worst
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim

So this is Tama-jii's final moments. Still remember in the game it was an emotional moment as well. Still, Sakuna's growth is pretty much complete at this stage, though the game naturally does it better. On a side note, glad to see the cow has been introduced. But I'm still mad there are no ducks lol.

Oh. Uhh.. that was pretty sad. I should've seen this coming, since they've called him a sword several times. Still...

Planting rice together in the end was perfect. But Tama-jii seems to have wanted to avoid eating the rice, without telling Sakuna to boot. I wonder why.

My goat Tama is gone... Now he's the Blade of Hoshidama.

I'm not going to lie here, I teared up a little. I didn't even expect this and I haven't even beaten the game yet but damn dude.

Had me tear up some. I get why Tama-jii had things go on without Sakuna but that's such an awful way to go about things since there isn't even an actual goodbye.

Awww, I actually felt so sad for Tama-jii. And for Sakuna too. He was indeed a father for her.
