What is the plot?

What is the ending?

Hiraku's new life ends where it has really been building all along: on the farm he made from nothing, surrounded by the people and creatures who became his family. The story closes with the village settled, the harvests continuing, and Hiraku still living peacefully as the center of that world's growing community.

In the ending as a whole, the final scenes do not show a tragic separation or a major collapse. Instead, they show the life Hiraku wanted at the start: work, food, companionship, and stability. The story circles back to its beginning and leaves him in the same kind of quiet farming life he asked for when he was reincarnated.

Hiraku Machio's fate is simple: he remains alive, healthy, and at home on the farm he built after his reincarnation. His life in the original world ends with his death from terminal illness, but in the new world he settles into the life he chose for himself.

Ru's fate is to remain with Hiraku as part of his household, continuing her life at the farm after becoming one of the central people in his community. Flora also stays at the farm and continues her work there, tied to the medical and practical side of village life. Tia remains with the group as one of Hiraku's wives and continues to be part of the farm's daily life.

The wolf companions Kuro and Yuki stay with Hiraku after first joining him at the farm, and they remain part of the household that grew around him. Zabuton also remains part of the farm's life, with the settlement having long since become a place where unusual beings and humans live together.

The larger world around Hiraku also remains stable at the end: the farm has grown into a village, and that village continues to function as a living community rather than ending in destruction. The ending's final movement is therefore a return to ordinary life--food being produced, people staying together, and Hiraku continuing the peaceful existence he wanted from the start.

If you want, I can also give you the ending specifically for the anime episode 12, or a character-by-character fate list for the major residents of the farm.

Who dies?

Yes. In the 2023 anime, the clearly confirmed death directly depicted in the core story is Hiraku Machio's first-life death, and later one wyvern is killed during a farm attack.

  • Hiraku Machio -- He dies in his original life after a long decline from illness and overwork. The story presents him as a Japanese office worker whose health steadily worsens from being forced to work nonstop, and he eventually passes away in a hospital bed / of terminal illness before being reincarnated by a god into another world.
  • Wyvern attacking the farm -- The wyvern dies after assaulting Hiraku's farm. Hiraku, believing the attack was deliberate, turns the Almighty Farming Tool into a javelin and throws it through the wyvern twice, killing it while Tia and Ru's magic prevents the creature from burning the center tree with its fireball.

A few important clarifications: - Most named supporting characters do not die in the 2023 anime's main storyline; the series is unusually light on permanent deaths for the people around Hiraku. - Some outside materials discuss later manga/novel events, but the 2023 anime adaptation itself is mainly about Hiraku's reincarnation, village-building, and conflicts that are resolved without major character deaths.

Is there a post-credit scene?
