Oh man... this is a sad sad episode... you have been mourned. I mean warned.
Since Chopper heard Hililuk only has ten days to live he decides to find a cure.
He looks through all the books, and heads out to find the medecine.
Hililuk works on his miracle at the same time.
The venture brings him far away.
The terrain is dangerous.
The old family doesn't greet him with friendship.
Finally, he finds the medecine, and he brings it back. It's an Amiudake, a poisonous mushroom, but Hililuk doesn't say so. "You have such a kind heart" he tells Chopper.
Hililuk speaks to Doctorine, asks her to take care of the Sakura since he won't have time to, and to take care of Chopper. Doctorine refuses & kicks him out. She comes to Hililuks hideout later on to talk to him again, but he's gone. Chopper tells her about the medicine, that he's been cured. She tells him there is no cure, and he shows her the mushroom. The truth is revealed. Chopper refuses to believe, because Hililuk said...
"I fly this skull and crossbones in the face of all diseases!"
Meanwhile Hililuk arrives at the castle. He's been told that the Ishi-20 (the elite doctors under Wapol's command) are sick, but it turns out to be a trap.
Thank goodness, no one's sick here.
I thought for sure the country was in trouble.
How about that... I was just being fooled.
He smiles, tears in his eyes. Wapol tells him that the country will be in trouble until he, Doctor Hililuk, is dead.
Don't bother, you can't kill me!
Yo. When do you think people die?
When they are shot through the heart by the bullet of a pistol?
No.
When they are ravaged by an incurable disease?
No.
When they drink a soup made from a poisonous mushroom?
No!
It's when... they are forgotten.
Even after I'm gone, my dream will come true.
The ailing hearts of the people will be cured.
Why are you crying, Dalton?
Dalton asks if it's the same with the country? "If the will is inherited", Hilliluk replies.
A monster will be coming here soon.
He's my son. Don't touch him.
Don't worry Chopper, I won't die from your medecine...
And then, he dies. Chopper arrives, he's horrified, he attacks blindly...
But is stopped by Dalton. Dalton tells Chopper to go back, that he can't hope to defeat Wapol if he can't even overpower him. He has tears streaming down his face, and Chopper calms down, turns around. Leaves. Dalton leaves as well, because the only man who could save the country is dead, and he has realized domething...
As long as you exist, this ailing country can not be cured
BECAUSE THERE IS NO MEDICINE FOR STUPIDITY!!
Chopper begs to be a doctor, and Doctorine takes him in.
