Story spoilers
Working alongside surviving convicts changes Fuchi's view of crime and evil, leading him to see samurai and criminals as fundamentally alike in their desire to live. Later, when both he and Gantetsusai are badly wounded, Fuchi uses his remaining strength to treat Gantetsusai instead of himself and dies from his injuries.
