The group finally reaches Koma Village and meets Hokuto, a talking dog who reveals Gingka is climbing a nearby mountain alone, seeking a scroll from a "Legendary Blader" to help him defeat Ryuga. While the others fail to break through a barrier wall, Gingka scales the icy mountain and finds the scroll, written by his own father, whose message convinces him that experience and heart will win the next battle.
