Yukine's journey toward acceptance of the life that was robbed of him, this time with finality, exemplifies the emotional and beautifully rendered arc that has defined his character.
Yukine finally accepting the reality of his death. Yukine stepping out from the fridge that contained memories of what was once his life. Yukine freeing himself from the shackles of his trauma. Yukine running to protect the person who cherished him the most in the world. Yukine standing up to an abusive father. Yukine wholeheartedly apologizing. Yukine's growth, and Yato tearing up as he stretches his little arms to pull him for an embrace.
Yukine's gratitude for what Yato did for him is evident throughout the series. He was given a name more precious than any other. He was treated like a human--an ordinary teenage boy. And life after that was one exciting journey after another. Now, Yukine can no longer be entirely consumed by the horrors of his past because he knows that his reality with Yato is so much brighter. Far brighter.
Yukine could break out from that refrigerator because of the true, sincere, and nurturing love shown by the only father figure in his life. Yato has said multiple times throughout the series that Yukine was his priority above all else, and Yukine was the only person he swore to protect the most. Hell, he even went straight to hug him after Yukine apologized for turning into that form! Yato did not need to summon Yukine. Yukine came to protect Yato on his own decision. As he always did.
The journey to their healing will be painful, and this chapter shows that Yato and Yukine will face it together. No more secrets and no more miscommunications. They will help and be by each other's side as they always have, not only as god and shinki but, this time, as family.
"I will not let him die. Not Yato. No matter what happens... I swear I won't let anyone take him from me!" -Yukine, Noragami Vol. 17 Chapter 67.

havent seen anyone talk about it yet which is SHOCKING to me but my peak luz hunter moment wasnt even any of the overt family talk or dramatic desperation hugs, it was just. luz giving hunter the owl mask to emulate the golden guard's confidence & then him bursting in with the "what happens next should be relatively painless... if you just do what i say :)" callback, but this time it's with her By His Side AS the golden guard and AGAINST belos.... you guys i love it so much i love it SO much i lose my MIND. i was anticipating golden guard atrocities angst but actually loved this so much more like. yeah fuck yeah reappropriate that fearless confidence and righteousness!! yeah take what your abuser made you and shape it into something you want for yourself instead!! yeah throw it back in his face!! yes yes yes be self-assured and powerful!! let's fukkin GO

Dude, I'm so emotional seeing all of my favorite Karmaland artists (who I haven't seen being active in MONTHS) suddenly posting art of Luzu / Arin with Etoiles and Quackity and all the characters he interacted with today.
With just one stream, Luzu gave motivation to so many members of the Spanish community, and it makes my heart ache in a good way :'))))
