I really liked this comment and agree it probably was the central theme of the episode. Obviously Sanetoshi was talking to Kanba but it implied to Yuri & her love for her father too (and in general a child has to love their parents).
But can we say this is a theme of the whole story? Yuri's father was the most messed up we've seen so far.
But we have the Takakura parents who committed a terrible crime yet in many ways the children who have not run away from society have to be the ones to stand up for their parents crimes (and possibly in Kanba's case do something much worse).
Ringo's parents did not mean to but they put her in the middle of their bickering relationship and this affected her outlook on life.
Well actually I won't say it's just loving your parents because unlike the Yuri situation I don't think Ringo and the Takakura siblings have any reason
not to love their parents. But I think they have a reason to say "you messed up as parents"
Certainly I think what we owe family just because they are family is an important theme that runs through the series.
