Original game

  • In Normal Ending 2, Wadanohara sacrifices herself to become the new Cast Pearl, returning the sea to peace but losing her life in the process. The townfolk mourn her passing, being one of the beloved residents of the town, but Samekichi is stricken by grief the hardest. He laments that he couldn't save her and that the sea has no point if she isn't in it, and it's heavily implied that he ends up taking his own life so he could be with her again. The sea is safe, but at what cost?
  • In the True Ending, Samekichi sacrifices himself instead, to punish Sal for all that he had done and return everything to normal with the Sea of Death destroyed. Wadanohara blames herself for his disappearance and believes herself to be weak, finally breaking down in front of Fukami after hiding her emotional pain behind a smile for so long. She vows to become a better witch so Samekichi will be proud of her.
  • Doubling as a Heartwarming Moment, the moment when Wadanohara finally gets to meet her father('s spirit). Though he may already be gone, he'll always be with her.

Reboot

  • There's a scene in the bonus room, showing what happened to Samekichi after sacrificing himself to stop the Sea of Death. After killing Sal and Princess Mikotsu, he's collapses from exhaustion and calmly accepts his death...only for a voice (implied to be Meikai) telling him that he can't die yet, as Wadanohara is still waiting for him. Remembering the sound of her ocarina, Samekichi uses what's left of his strength to escape the Sea of Death and reunite with Wadanohara.
  • For all the crap she did, you might feel bad at Princess Mikotsu's death. After being beaten by Uomi, she finally does realize why she was choosen by their father to be the ruler. However she admits she's beyond redemption and tells Samekichi to put an end to her suffering. Which he does. To make things worse, she speaks normally during her final moments, signifying how she's back to her senses and is dying as herself.
    Mikotsu: Ahh, I understand now...But now it's too late....So, let's put an end to this....I'm sorry.
