In Episode 50, Subaru awakens within a radiant light and reunites with Gaou, now able to converse through the power of the Mirror Stone. Subaru blames himself for being unable to protect Gaou, but receives words of gratitude from both Gaou and Zakuro.

The group parts ways with Subaru and the pack of wolves, led by Torame, and returns to a restored Animal Town. Kogumi (voiced by Maria Nagawa) and the others, encouraged by Mey Mey’s suggestion, prepare to host a "Thank-You Party" at Nico Garden. However, Nico halts the plan, reminding everyone that the two worlds should not intertwine.
