Actually, that episode makes me cry still. It's this:

Here's this group of people, the last place they can call home, after having so many taken and abducted and killed. Here is their tie to the land, the tie to their culture, the tie to their holiest of holies, which they, alone, are charged to protect even above their home.

The series shows you all the shit they've been through- and still, this spirit, this fish, is more important than all that to them.

It works in the cartoon, much like the Life/Death God in Princess Mononoke, because the audience has been given a deep sense of wonder, of the holiness of it- and now it's being destroyed.
