It's Shana who's walking next to Yuji.
The epilogue is about Sairei no Hebi who is looking through Yuji's eyes. Basically Sairei no Hebi is sleeping a long sleep, but he wakes up every now and then to see what's happening in the 'new world'. He talking about Yuji, the vessel who once partnered him. He sees that Yuji is going everywhere in the world in order to persuade people. He sees that Yuji is still being chased and that there are still some that are trying to kill him. To me, this means that their 'new world' still isn't perfect. Sairei no Hebi then says that even he doesn't know what Yuji's actions will bring and that he hopes that he'll understand when he wakes up again. He then starts to fall into his deep sleep again. Hecate and Sydonay seem to be with him there and he thinks about Bel Peol who's still in the new world. I guess this means that Sairei no Hebi is preparing to return to this world again later. Sairei no Hebi then hears the footsteps of Shana, the contractor of Alastor, the only god who could kill him, next to Yuji as the two of them move towards the future. All in all, not a completely happy end. Yuji and Shana are together, so that's great! But there still seem to be problems in this new world, which Yuji and Shana are trying to solve. I guess the writer left the ending kind of open. This is a good choice in my opinion. I think this is better than a 'fairytale ending' where everything is completely resolved. Quote:

@Hooves
If that is the case, we all are looking forward to reading your funny caption, should the anime animate that scene. @Deathscyther Thank you very much for your indispensable analysis! Without it, I would not be able to understand it. +1. Even though the Snake of the Festival has separated from yuji, he still retains the ability to see through Yuji's eyes. A bit cheeky, I should say, as it may cause invasion of privacy that should be enjoyed by Yuji and Shana alone. Quote:

To a god who made the two of them and are literally his children as well as his primary means of interacting with those outside his realm, they would seem cute. And don't forget they endured much to bring his plan to success

This is my take on it: Quote:
You never know how people react to change. Nobody knows what the future will hold. But Yuji and Shana are together, so they'll be just fine.
