Ep. 52: Tamahome defeats Nakago in their final battle, leading to Miaka's wish for peace and a reunion.

Tamahome faces Nakago in their ultimate confrontation. Despite Suzaku restoring his powers, Tamahome remains weaker than his opponent. Miaka and the Celestial Warriors attempt to channel their energy to him, but this proves inadequate. As a final measure, Miaka uses Suzaku’s power to seal Seiryuu, stripping Nakago of his abilities. Tamahome then pierces Nakago’s chest, ending the fight. Defeated, Nakago recounts his tragic history and quest for vengeance. The group encourages Miaka to use her last wish to remain with Tamahome, but she chooses to restore peace to her world instead. Tamahome accepts this decision. After a tearful farewell and a final kiss, the worlds separate. Miaka later finds a letter from Tamahome promising to love her across time and space. Eventually, she and Yui pass their high school entrance exams. During a school day, Keisuke introduces them to a young man wearing Tamahome’s wedding ring, revealing his identity. Miaka weeps with joy as the story concludes.
