I was genuinely shocked by Nozomi actually stabbing herself to weaken Yushima; it was such a desperate, almost reckless, move that left me holding my breath. Seeing Kon absolutely lose it and scream for her, not his usual goofy self, just hit different and made me really feel the stakes of Ichigo having to push through his disappearing power to make her sacrifice meaningful, even if it's technically just a side story.
