As the episode comes to a close, the group successfully gathers the medicinal herbs and delivers them to Kurogane's village, curing the mysterious illness. This earns them Kurogane's respect and he agrees to join them on their journey. The episode ends with the group setting off once again, but this time with a powerful new ally.
