And here is the most direct title I'll ever give a Sushi Striker video. To wrap up this game's story, a bunch of questions are answered, a few more are created, and every Sushi Sprite in the game is shown in the game's credits. A lot of people worked on this game; they must have been pretty confident in it. Unfortunately, well, it's priced too high for most people (in the United States, at least, it's a full price Switch game, even on the eShop), and this concept was an incredibly hard sell. It's also pretty beginner-unfriendly, as the gameplay doesn't really start feeling satisfying until you get the basics down.

But yeah, this ending directly reveals what exactly happened to the fish in the oceans: Sea life went extinct due to pollution (undoubtedly due to the Second Impact). They then turned themselves into sushi sprites in order to continue to provide seafood for the humans. Remember when I asked about if non-sushi seafood even exists, with the likes of Etouffée Elves or Acquapazza Apparitions? Well...that wasn't answered here because this is a game about sushi.

We do get to see how the humans are doing though, at least the ones Musashi have met. Everyone is happy, even those who were initially from the Empire (with the exception of Octavius, of course). Franklin is recovering and has reunited with Ara-o, meaning he may just be able to return to striking once again someday. Rio is still doing his plate-balancing routine, and even Gourai is chilling out. There's apparently increased mingling with the generals and their minions, with Archie sharing sushi with everyone. (This can already be surmised playing through the game, however: As his restaurant grows more popular, Musashi can chat with said minions and sometimes other important characters.) Apparently, Musashi-pops are a thing or something. And a statue of Musashi has been built in the Republic.

As for that submerged red-haired lady? That's Musashi's mother. After the credits finish, we see Musashi and her father checking on the portal there, hoping someday that she would return. This is definitely the biggest sequel hook in the game, as it's the major unanswered question: What happened to her, and as she's a Sushi Sprite researcher, what does she know about it that the others don't?

There's special attention paid to the voice cast here. Most of these people I've never heard of, but there are a few I have. These are the ones whose voices you may have heard prior in my videos (but there are others I've heard of who hadn't):

Female Musashi is voiced by Cristina Vee, who seems to have risen to become one of the top voice actors for English dubbing. (Not quite as much for western animation, but it does exist). The first time her voice appeared in my videos was as Noel Vermillion in BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger (as Cristina Valenzuela), and indeed she reprises her role in BlazBlue: Central Fiction. Her best known roles that come to mind (there are many others that don't--let me know in the comments what I've missed, and I know I missed a lot), besides Noel, are of Killua Zoldyck from Hunter X Hunter, Cerebella from Skullgirls, and Shantae and Risky Boots in the more recent Shantae games.

Not surprising once I saw it, General Ausprey is voiced by Spike Spencer, who's been in the voice acting gig for quite a while. I don't know how content he is with it now, but he really did not like his role as Shinji Akari from Neon Genesis Evangelion, even though it established his career. He was also not too fond playing Hanataro Yamada in Bleach either. You have heard him in my videos as Arakune in BlazBlue (got the "psychopath" role he wanted) and as Maguro and Ecolo in Puyo Puyo Tetris.

Jinrai is voiced by Dave Fennoy. Japanese-originated works are not really his thing, but you may have heard him as the narrator of Netflix's FBI warnings and as Lee in Telltale's The Walking Dead.

Celia is voiced by Brianna Knickerbocker, who also voices Ninian in the (voiced) Fire Emblem games. She shares this with T. Axelrod, voice of Masa but also of Fire Emblem's Navarre.

Rio is voiced by Todd Haberkorn. He's quite a fixture of Anime Expo, and he's very proud of the work he's done. Though his defining role is as Ling in Fullmetal Alchemist, his largest role is that of Natsu in Fairy Tail. 

Kyle McCarley voices Kojiro, having moved to this from 9S, the deuteragonist in Nier: Automata. He's not getting typecast, that's for sure.

Kyatten is voiced by Brina Palencia. I don't believe she's come up in any game I've played, but we do come close: She's the English voice of Tony Tony Chopper in One Piece. Too bad One Piece: Unlimited World Red didn't get a dub.
