Nooooo Yuta.

Isago didn't die...that means she'll be back with her kids in tow.

I don't get why he wouldn't marry just because he's immortal? Is it the pain of seeing your loved ones die? I also don't get the pain of being immortal in general. I think the argument is that stagnancy is painful, but I think that's only if you don't continue to change and seek out new things. Yuta's been alive for 500 years and it seems like he never even stepped foot outside of Japan.

Let's not confuse the price of immortality with the question of whether or not to choose eternal life. I think this question should be tackled from the perspective of what if you can be immortal without cost because God gave you immortality with no strings attached? Then is it a good thing?

I read an old National Geographic article about centenarians all over the world. One of the stories stuck with me: this guy was 120 years old and he's had six wives over the course of his life. His only comment was that his first five wives were great but this sixth one is a nagger, so he probably lost 10 years off his lifespan just living with her.

I was not expecting a happy ending. Like, at all. Both the chief and Rin live. The pirates all die. And Isago is free with her children. Didn't think she was gonna be a mermaid. The story about her being stuck as a pregnant woman forever by becoming immortal would've been crazy though.

Feel bad about Rin. I guess Yuta didn't wanna repeat what he did with his first wife.

Yuta's main goal (so far) is to find a way to go back to being a human. He won't go outside of Japan to seek alternatives especially if he's unsure if there are any mermaids or 'ningyo' outside. Some people would rejoice to be immortal but Yuta's different. Dude just wants a normal life.

The animation in this anime is disappointing. I get it's a 2003 anime but it noticeably lacks the budget of other shows that came out around the same time.

Next two episodes is the remake of the Mermaid Forest story. Hope it has higher production value than this episode.

Rin honestly make a better partner for Yuta than Mana,
Great ending for this chapter, I hope we see Isago again, she's really interesting and also a more explanation to this mermaid stuff along the way.
