Death arrives at the Star and challenges Puss to a duel. Having learned the value of life from his time with his companions, Puss forgoes wishing for more lives and accepts, temporarily disarming the Wolf. Puss declares that he knows he can never defeat Death, but he will never stop fighting for his last life.

Besides the ending which saw Puss in Boots fighting against the scythe-wielding canine, viewers tended to notice a major reference early on in the film with the protagonist taking on a larger-than-life giant, harkening back to Attack on Titan 's numerous battles that would see soldiers attempting to take down opponents hundreds of times bigger than themselves.
