Quick facts
- Episode: 6 of 26
- Title: To Die in the Misty Blue
- Series format: continuous TV anime
- Canon/filler label: main-story canon; no filler skip is recommended for first-time viewers.
- Watch-or-skip: Watch — Moribito is tightly serialized, and even quieter chapters build Chagum’s growth or the larger myth investigation.
Summary
Unable to determine Balsa’s exact position, the Emperor’s hunters split up. At the Aogiri Mountains they see Balsa and Chagum dragged down a cliff by a large wolf. They assume that Balsa and Chagum have died.
What happens in the episode
This chapter advances the protector-and-prince road story while keeping the stakes grounded. Balsa’s choices are measured against Chagum’s vulnerability, the imperial system looking for him, and the spirit-world truth that the court does not fully understand.
Read through the lens of the full series, Episode 6 matters because Moribito rarely separates action from consequence. A chase, a conversation, or a survival problem can all reveal how Chagum is changing from a protected prince into someone who understands fear, hunger, and responsibility.
