The interactions between Jinya and Ofuu emphasize mutual respect, personal growth, and the strength of their bond, while supporting characters like Natsu and Zenji receive brief but meaningful moments in a clever post-credits scene that reinforces the continuity of the world, while setting the stage for Jinya and Nomari’s next chapter with a sense of meaningful progression.
