Spoiler:

The fireworks scene when they were kids really did it for me. I find it funny that when we were young, we tend to think that the adults have all the power and free time in the world. By the time we are of our age, we think that the children are the ones who feel as though they could do whatever they want. This is true even in real life. Much nostalgia is seen here. At the very least, the whole gang was there to discuss about the possibility of the wish being to fly a rocket. And it was all about to come true, too. Jinta started to work in multiple jobs, both with Anaru and Poppo respectively (so, that is how Poppo had so much money to travel all over the place, working in jobs like that). Jinta asking his father to ask a friend who knows how to make fireworks to help him out. And then, at the middle of it all, the dude who promised said no. Of course, Jinta and the gang were angry, but then they figure out that the person in charge of the fireworks festival was none other than Menma's mother. She thinks they are going a bit too far to grant her wish; therefore, she tells him not to create any fireworks for her. This is going to be a big obstacle for the gang if they want to try out if this wish is going to work.

What I am more concerned about it Yukiatsu, who seems to have some knowledge about what Menma's wish could truly be. Tsuruko seems to know it as well. I find it odd that Menme called everyone other than Jinta to visit her in the club place. Do Poppo and Anaru know of something like this? Had Yukiatsu or Tsuruko said something about it to the two of them, would they have had some recollection as to what the conversation was about that day eight years ago?
