Hiriluk's message really touched my heart. What a powerful line! That said, I also love Dalton's words. Both of them are as impactful. That said, I can’t help but tear up a bit in this episode. Hiriluk viewing Chopper that way is beyond any relationship that blood can offer.

I can't stop crying about the mushroom part because Chopper just wanted to help his dad and the way Hiriluk ate it anyway just to make him happy really broke me
