After Ranma gains Kuno’s wishing sword he argues with Nabiki about wishes, saying she would just be greedy. She turns that on him and he realizes that when he help someone he also does it for himself as well making him like her. Trying to think of something unselfish he can do for others, he wishes that his friends have their mothers back but he must give up some of his life force to jump start their lives. Nodoka hears his weak cries for help as she’s passing and finds her son who she takes home. The Tendo’s believe Ranma died fulfilling the wish and Dr Tofu is advising everyone to go on vacation.
