■Shūichirō Umeda: "Will Kobato Become Kobato?" Hina Yomiya: "I Can’t Say Much More." The Two Discuss the Finale's Highlights

The program also looked back on the "Winter-Only Bonbon Chocolat Incident," which unfolds from episode 18 to the finale, featuring select key scenes. These include the shocking scene where Kobato is hit by a car at the start of this new arc, scenes from the middle school days when Kobato and Osanai established their symbiotic relationship, and the moment when Kobato is slapped by his friend Hisaka—who inspired his journey to become a shoshimin. All three voice actors passionately discussed the unique conversation and relationship between Kobato and Osanai, as well as Kobato’s feelings toward Hisaka.

Finally, Umeda and Yomiya shared their thoughts on what to watch for in the finale. Yomiya commented, "I really can't say much more! I hope everyone watches closely to see what happens to the two of them." Umeda added, "Kobato’s reckoning and the story beyond it will finally conclude. Please watch to see if Kobato becomes a shoshimin—or perhaps if Kobato can truly become himself, not just a shoshimin," sending a message to the viewers.
