Chapter 8: The Bat and the Owl
- Zatz comforting Maya after Picchu's Heroic Sacrifice. He finds her crying in a moonlit cave and sits beside her, revealing his personal beliefs about what happens to family members when they die.Zatz: My mother died when I was just an infant. So every night, before I went to bed, my father would share a story about her to keep her memory alive. But one night, I refused to hear another story. I told my father they made me sad. That's when my father let me in on a little secret. He said since my mother died selflessly, she's now a star in the sky, and she's always there looking after me. (points up to an orange star) There. That's Mamá.(Maya gasps in wonder)Zatz: (smiles and points to a nearby purple star) And that's Papá.Maya: They're beautiful!Zatz: And now they're together...forever.

- Maya and Micte's heart-to-heart:
- For Maya: Even though the girl is still resentful of Lady Micte and treats her coldly, Maya finally gets some much-needed closure on her birth mother and learns that Micte wasn't quite the monster that she made her out to be.
- For Micte: She acknowledges some of the more insidious parts of her past without making any excuses for herself, and genuinely apologizes to Maya for what her actions put her daughter through.

- Just before the final battle begins, Zatz teases "Meet a nice human girl, my father said." But it's abundantly clear from his tone that he wouldn't have it any other way, and Maya pulls him into a Big Damn Kiss in response.Maya: Just in case I never get to do that again.
- Zatz's dopey little smile after the kiss is equally precious.
Chapter 9: The Sun and the Moon
- Lady Micte going into full Mama Bear mode and defending Maya from Lord Mictlan during the final battle.Lady Micte: Get away from my daughter!
- Maya smiling lovingly at Zatz throughout the battle, particularly when they pull off a spinning dodge from one of Mictlan's attacks. She just gazes up at him with the most adorable expression, and all Zatz can respond with is a sheepish chuckle and a playful Defensive "What?".
- During a hectic moment in the fight, Zatz offhandedly mentions how the Barbarian Princess tried to hit on him when he asked them to travel to Teca with him. Maya immediately voices her concern, but Zatz reassures her that he's hers and hers alone.Zatz: I let her know I was taken.
- It's even sweeter in the Spanish dub, where he says "I told her I belong to someone else." Aww!
- Chimi protecting Rico from Lord Mictlan's goons when he runs to help the Gran Bruja, and her subsequent Love Epiphany.Chimi: I'll cover you! You better not die, Rico!(Rico smiles and winks at her)Chimi: (to herself) Because I think I love you...

Cabrakan’s reappearance is especially noteworthy. Not only did he significantly humble himself since his defeat in the battle from Chapter 3, but Maya also seems to have forgiven the god for his earlier attempt to kill her and now eagerly welcomes him as another ally.
- Cipactli crediting Maya for helping her and Cabrakan save their marriage.
- Rico giving Estefan to Gran Bruja, reasoning that she needs him more and thanking Estefan for all his help.

She then imagine warmly and lovingly embracing each of the most important people in her lives - Her parents, her brothers, Chiapa, Chimi, Rico, Picchu, Zatz, Micte, and her newborn twin siblings. Remembering all of them, gives Maya the strength to make her final move against Mitclan.
- While it doubles as a Tear Jerker, as a result of Lady Micte's summoning, the spirits of the deads are able to briefly visit their still-living loved ones after the battle:
- The Jaguar triplets share a moment with their parents, Maya, and their newborn siblings.
- All the fallen Teca soldiers reunite with their wives.
- Rico and La Gran Bruja are reunited with Le Gran Brujo, who tells them he's proud of them.
- The Widow Queen's father is giving his daughter a hug in the background.
- Chimi meets her late mother for the first time. When Chimi tries to apologize for causing her mother's death, Chimi's mother reassures her that she "Would die a thousand lifetimes" if it meant Chimi could live. Chimi promptly bursts into Tears of Joy and embraces her mother, and the two share a heartfelt howl.
- Zatz reunites with his parents. They show their sheer pride at his heroism.
Camazotz: A noble warrior's death!Zatz: You raised me right, Papá.Camazotz: I am so proud of you! (to Zyanya) A sacrifice for love seems to run in this family, mí amor.Zyanya: (in happy tears) Come here, mi niño!Zatz: Ay, Mamá...(Zyanya pulls him into a tight hug)Zyanya: You're so handsome, like your Papá!(Camazotz envelopes both of them in a hug) - Maya and Zatz ascending to godhood as the Sun and Moon respectively, destined to dance together across the sky for all time. After everything the pair have been through, knowing that they'll be able to spend the rest of eternity together is incredibly satisfying and heartwarming.
- The ending showing Maya's loved ones simultaneously having a happy endings as well and honoring the former.
- Jaguar and Eagle have grown up, under the loving care of their parents.
- Rico and Chimi became a couple and were blessed with four children (2 girls and 2 boys).
- The couple has an albino son but in an inverted situation from Chimi's life, the boy is surrounded by a loving family that will never think of him as a monster. Also, when he's first shown, the albino son is biting Rico's leg but his father has no problem with it. He even walks funnily as to not accidentally harm his child.
- All of them watch the Sun/Maya set. All of them giving loving smiles in memory of their loved one.
- Who has the last line in the series? Maya's little sister, Eagle, saying "Adios, Maya." And she's waving goodbye using a toy replica of her older sister's sword.
- If you look closely at her facepaint, you notice it's styled in the same way as her older sister.
- Just the fact that Chimi and Rico are living in the Teca Kingdom, possibly in the same resident of King and Queen Teca. Given their closeness with Maya coupled with their huge displays of bravery, honor, and loyalty in their battle against Lord Mictlan, it's very likely that the King and Queen offered them a place in the palace. Given how both Rico and Chimi were unfairly ostracized in their youth, it's very satisfying seeing them welcomed and appreciated, especially by the parents of dear friend.
