When Hashimoto was on the verge of life and death, the little boy was once confused. It was reflected in his dream that the hero played by the magician could only save one of the two people. How to choose. If Hashimoto is dead, maybe he can complete all the tasks on the list. The film does not clearly show the boy's choice, but from his other dream, the one at the center of the atomic bomb with the same name, we can roughly infer his choice.
As a result, Hashimoto survived, and at the same time, news of the child's father's death also came.
This is admirable for the film screenwriter's accurate grasp of the idea he wants to express. There is no supernatural hint in the film, and the power of belief is by no means a superficial materialized result. From the logic of the film, the father's return is not the result of the boy completing the task list (because the task was not completed). The little boy gave up completing all the tasks, but his beliefs were more fulfilled because of this.
The true faith saves human souls, not creates supernatural miracles.
