Before the credits begin scrolling, a looped animation of Treeshaker walking amidst a smoggy, polluted cityscape is played accompanied by eerie "technological" noises play. As he walks, the smog slowly engulfs him until he is gone. According to the director, this short segment is the most important part of the movie because it encapsulates his core messages. Treeshaker is a traditional hero of old and the city around him references the 12-headed city dragon that he had fought in the film. The scene means that the destructive urbanization and pollution of modernity causes humans to forget about their values. The stars on the sky remind us of the old traditions but the rising buildings and smog make them vanish from view. In the end, although Treeshaker defeated the dragons, the darkness represented by the dragons might win out.
