The Memorial Edition concludes with a montage of scenes from the Black Swordsman arc—parts of the manga that have never been faithfully adapted in modern animation. But more importantly, the final episode features a heartfelt tribute to Kentaro Miura.

This provides a sense of closure for the viewer, transforming the viewing experience from simple entertainment into a ceremonial act of mourning and appreciation.
