How we know
Chapter 1050 · updated
Toko wrote "Thank you Daddy" on her lantern. Toko realizes that Yasuie did it for her and asks to change her lantern message. Hitetsu says that for a samurai, there is no greater honor. Toko smiles and writes a new message, "Thank you Daddy," replacing the earlier wish to see him again. As lanterns rise, one carries Toko's corrected message: "Thank you Daddy." Hitetsu explains Yasuie's sacrifice to Toko. If he had not acted, the embers of hope entrusted to them would have been snuffed out in an instant. He sacrificed himself for the future, hoping that one day Toko would be able to live happily. Sanji, looking at the lanterns from outside the capital, says the surprise takes him back, and the page lets the chapter title land through Yasuie's honor rather than battlefield glory. The page connects the private mourning in the capital with public victory in the raid. Toko's gratitude floats upward at the same time.
