  • His attachment to Kaguya and the other inhabitants—Ino, Tsunade, Shizune, Tenten, Yakumo, Amachi, Sasame, Kagerou, Kaede, Pakura, Yugito Nii, and Mei Terumi—ultimately influences his decision to remain.
  • Kimura’s descendants later lead Three-Day City into its long-term expansion and conflicts with the wider universe.
