BROOO I CANT STOP CRYING EVER SINCE THEY RELEASED THE SONG "TO THE SEA" IN THE FINAL ANIME MOVIE

I especially love two lines in the song:

1) One is the final chorus, "Hey, in this life, among all the seasons we encountered together, I only found one (person), and my entire body calls out that name."

At first, I thought the "one" season that he found was referring to Yuki, but then I realized that his name only meant snow, which is not a season. You know whose name has the meaning of a season?? MAFUYU.

Winter in Japanese is FUYU. The kanji in Mafuyu's name basically means "midwinter". The last chorus is basically Yuki and Ueno saying how much Mafuyu means to them. They both love Mafuyu with all their heart.

2) The other is the bridge before the last chorus, "In the middle of winter, just like drops falling, a glittering moment was given to me. In this everlasting corner of history, remember how our meeting is a miracle"

Ueno met Mafuyu in the middle of winter. Mafuyu's name means "midwinter". The words "like drops falling" refer to snow (Yuki). SO BASICALLY IT MEANS:

"Just like Yuki, Mafuyu is such a glittering existence in my life that meeting him is a miracle."

The "Just like Yuki" line can be interpreted in two ways: either from ueno's pov where both him and Yuki consider Mafuyu as a glittering existence OR from ueno's pov as well but this time in the sense that Mafuyu means so much to him, just like how Yuki means so much to Mafuyu.

anw IM SOBBING WHERE DO I FIND A GUY WHO'D TELL ME MY EXISTENCE IS A MIRACLE TO THEM T-T

Also, fun fact, ueno's first name Ritsuka means "the beginning of summer" so the last chorus can also be seen from Mafuyu's POV because he also found Uenoyama who loves everything about him, even his memories with Yuki. You can also think of it this way: the beginning of summer is what melted away the snow ;))

OKAY THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING MY TEDTALK, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME I'LL JUST BE IN A CORNER SOBBING MY HEART OUT NOW
