However... > Would the answer be any different if it were the last, or any other chapter? **Yes.** It's not unknown for anime to name their final episode after the series itself. The example I know of off the top of my head is _Vividred Operation_ - the final episode is also named "Vividred Operation". This works because, at the climax, > Akane and Rei fuse in order to fight the main villain, and become the titular Vividred. So you could re-use the story title for your _last_ chapter, but in order to pull that off, your last chapter would need to explain the title to some extent.
