I had prefered to see the game version for the confrontation between Eruruu and the captured Nuwangi. There she make him realize the error of his ways.

Spoiler for The game ending of Nuwangi:

This part was taken from the game summary of UTAWARERUMONO, covering the part of episode 07. Has massive spoilers. Read at your own risk:

Spoiler for game content:

They capture Nuwangi and bring him into the city. Nuwangi asks about his army, and Teoro says in the end they all deserted him. Nuwangi starts laughing, and tells them to kill him. Oboro unsheathes his blades and tells Nuwangi to prepare himself, and then Hakuoro tells him to stop.

Eruruu comes forward. Nuwangi tells her to go ahead and laugh at him, since she has a grudge against him over her grandmother. She hits him and calls him an idiot, and asks why he doesn't understand. She said that things like beautiful clothes, fancy ornaments, and a luxerious life were not things necessary for her. Even if they are poor it is good, that everyone lives together happily. She asks if he has completely forgotten those times in the past, and says that the clumsy, unsophisticated, and gentle Nuwangi of back then, she liked. She starts crying, and says he really is a fool.

Nuwangi says he only wants to be with her, and see her happiness. She says now, there is no happiness. He asks what he can do. She is silent for a moment, then comes forward and unties him. She says there is no good in holding resentment, and doesn't not want to have a grudge. He looks at her silently, and she says goodbye.

That night, Nuwangi is traveling alone outside of the village, thinking about what
happened. He says to himself that he is going to request a stop put to this war, and do what he can to stop it, because that is the least he can do for her. Then an arrow comes out of the darkness and strikes him, and he falls.

A voice says that it looks like they have found a rare jewel. Another voice says not to think like that, they only want the thing taken from them returned. The first voice says talk is idle, and to help strip him or they'll decrease the share. The second person notes that he is still alive, and then the first person recognizes him as the Omutsuikeru general, and that his neck probably has a big reward on it with the rebel army, and then they can say goodbye to their current life.

Nuwangi starts to come too, murmuring "Eruruu...", when he is beheaded by the strangers.

The most interesting is: Nuwangi lived searching luxury... and now he died because someone was searching for luxury too. Talking about poetic justice.

Very fitting last words, too.
