As a manga reader and with Himiko being my favorite character I was both lookin forward and not looking forward to this moment in the anime. Bones, Sakura, Fuken and Yuki did such fantastic jobs.
The direct manga to visual imagery was peak and the added visuals used for foreshadowing and such was chef's kiss. Knowing what's going to happen before hand made the water works leak early but the vocal performances magnified it. I wish this world was dragon ball where you could make a few wishes and make all of Himiko's sins disappear. But alas it's the finality of it all that brings the emotions. All Himiko needed was a genuine friend and she finally got it about a decade too late.
