[00:01] UCHIMURA {N}
We've concluded our defense
against the calamity.
[00:05] UCHIMURA {N}
We won.
[00:06] ULMANDRA {overlap}
Hey, come over here.
[00:08] GNOME {overlap}
Carry him out, too.
[00:08] UCHIMURA {N}
This is nothing less than what we, the
demi-humans, the demons, the races,
[00:12] SYLPHID {overlap}
Bring more and more materials.
[00:12] UCHIMURA {N}
the tribes, have won together.
[00:15] UCHIMURA {N}
Furthermore, our achievements
are being recognized.
[00:18] DEMON OVERLORD
Form ranks.
[00:22] DEMON OVERLORD
My vaunted Four Elite
Generals of the Demon Army!
[00:28] DEMON OVERLORD
Ulmandra, the Inferno Assailant!
[00:37] DEMON OVERLORD
Sylphid, Archmage of Storms!
[00:44] DEMON OVERLORD
Gnome, Earthen Bastion!
[00:54] DEMON OVERLORD
Overseas Manager, Dennosuke Uchimura!
[00:58] UCHIMURA
Yes, sir!
[01:02] DEMON OVERLORD
Uchimura, you've done well.
[01:11] UCHIMURA
Th-Thank you very much.
[01:13] UCHIMURA
I accept.
[01:24] DEMON OVERLORD
After this, I have something
to discuss with you.
[01:27] UCHIMURA {M}
A direct summons.
[01:30] UCHIMURA {M}
Is this what they call favoritism?!
[01:33] UCHIMURA
Demon Overlord. Once again, I was
highly impressed by your powers.
[01:39] UCHIMURA
I will continue to strive to
serve as your subordinate.
[01:45] DEMON OVERLORD
Dear Uchimura, let me ask you one thing...
[01:48] DEMON OVERLORD
What is a king?
[01:50] UCHIMURA
Huh? A king, sir?
[01:53] UCHIMURA
The one who leads the nation, the captain
who steers the country... perhaps?
[02:01] UCHIMURA {M}
Was my answer wrong?
[02:05] DEMON OVERLORD
Uchimura.
[02:07] DEMON OVERLORD
Become the king.
[02:12] UCHIMURA
Huh?
[03:45] UCHIMURA
What did you just say?
SIGN Episode 12:
How to Find Your Way of Life
[03:48] DEMON OVERLORD
Become the king.
[03:50] DEMON OVERLORD
You shall become the king of the new era.
[03:53] UCHIMURA
That's impossible!
[03:54] UCHIMURA
Me, the king?!
[03:55] UCHIMURA
Absolutely impossible!
[03:57] UCHIMURA
You're taking this joke too far!
[03:59] DEMON OVERLORD
Uchimura, you are talented.
[04:03] DEMON OVERLORD
Up until now, you have devoted
yourself to my many demands
[04:06] DEMON OVERLORD
and have shown results.
[04:08] DEMON OVERLORD
There were times when you've initiated the
move yourself and even offered suggestions.
[04:13] DEMON OVERLORD
However, you've never gone beyond
the scope of the mission.
[04:16] DEMON OVERLORD
That's it.
[04:18] UCHIMURA
Huh?!
[04:19] DEMON OVERLORD
As you are now, you are nothing
more than a talented slave
[04:23] DEMON OVERLORD
who faithfully carries
out the assigned tasks.
[04:27] DEMON OVERLORD
Being obedient can lead one to
conform to those around them.
[04:31] DEMON OVERLORD
On top of that, you have low self-esteem.
[04:34] DEMON OVERLORD
Do not confuse humility with servility.
[04:39] DEMON OVERLORD
What is holding you back, Uchimura?
[04:42] UCHIMURA
I... I...
[04:49] UCHIMURA
My apologies. May I
please have some time?
[04:56] UCHIMURA
"What is holding you back"...
[05:00] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
I don't think this case is something
that can be handled alone.
[05:04] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
I think we have no choice but to either
adjust the deadline or get more people on this...
[05:08] (Flashback) BOSS
Hey now, you gotta be kidding me.
[05:11] (Flashback) BOSS
Someone as capable as you
should be fine, right?
[05:14] (Flashback) BOSS
You graduated from a top university.
[05:15] (Flashback) BOSS
You're an elite boy who even managed
to get the president's award.
[05:18] UCHIMURA {N}
I was young and ignorant, and before I knew
it, I had earned the disdain of my boss.
[05:24] (Flashback) BOSS
Oh? Suggestions to improve the workplace?
[05:27] (Flashback) BOSS
That's quite ambitious of you.
[05:28] (Flashback) BOSS
But how about you focus
on the task at hand?
[05:32] UCHIMURA {N}
My self-esteem has been
continuously shattered.
[05:35] (Flashback) BOSS
Uchimura, you don't have
to come to the meeting.
[05:39] UCHIMURA {N}
Again and again.
[05:44] UCHIMURA {N}
Again and again.
[05:47] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Please. We're short on both
manpower and equipment.
[05:53] UCHIMURA {N}
Again and again.
[05:57] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Another transfer?!
[06:00] UCHIMURA {N}
Again and again.
[06:02] UCHIMURA {M}
During my time here,
I thought I had overcome it.
[06:07] UCHIMURA {M}
I guess the scars that have been
etched in me have not healed yet...
[06:10] UCHIMURA {M}
It's become my trauma, and that's
what's holding me back.
[06:15] UCHIMURA {M}
Someone like me could never be a
king like the Demon Overlord...
[06:19] DEMON OVERLORD {flashback}
Perish, Giga Death.
[06:28] UCHIMURA
It's impossible!
[06:30] UCHIMURA
Just thinking about it
is making me tremble!
[06:37] DEMON OVERLORD {M}
Uchimura.
[06:38] UCHIMURA {flashback}
The one who leads the nation, the
captain who steers the country... perhaps?
[06:44] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {M}
What you're thinking is correct.
[06:47] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {M}
But now, in this world,
the logic is different.
[06:51] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {M}
The defining feature of a king
is simple—it's power.
[06:55] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {M}
The calamity is the greatest
disaster that threatens a nation.
[06:58] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {M}
The one who can eliminate said calamity
is the one who rules the country.
[07:03] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {M}
As long as one has power,
one can become a king.
[07:06] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {M}
Even if they are unfit to be a leader.
[07:10] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {M}
As a result, this has continued to
produce tyrants and fool kings.
[07:15] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {M}
The ones to suffer under the rule
of those kings are the citizens.
[07:18] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD {M}
In a sense, it brings about disaster
greater than the calamity.
[07:22] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
My ambition is the extinction
of the calamity
[07:26] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
and the eradication of the current kings...
[07:31] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
In order to do so...
[07:33] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
Uchimura, you must become king!
[07:38] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Just dreaming of becoming a
king is too presumptuous!
[07:43] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
Demon Overlord, your expectations
are far too dazzling.
[07:47] (Flashback) UCHIMURA
I only wish to serve
by your side, my lord!
[07:52] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
That is the way of living
you can only see now.
[07:55] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
You choose the easy path...
[07:57] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
That is also a wise choice, in
order to protect one's life.
[08:02] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
However, a leader would
accept the suffering.
[08:06] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
By their own will.
[08:08] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
Your old wounds of the heart
that have yet to heal.
[08:10] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
The malicious memories
that dull your resolve.
[08:13] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
Your suffering is yours alone.
[08:17] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
But I dare to ask.
[08:19] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
Choose. Will you stop striving and grow old?
[08:22] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
Or will you endure the pain and
take that step forward?
[08:25] UCHIMURA
Demon Overlord... I... I
can't believe in myself.
[08:34] UCHIMURA
If I just do the assigned
job, I won't get hurt.
[08:38] UCHIMURA
Dreams that are beyond my capabilities
weigh too heavily on me.
[08:43] UCHIMURA
Without a guarantee, I can't
even take a single step!
[08:47] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
I will vouch for your talent as a king!
[08:51] UCHIMURA
A coward...
[08:55] UCHIMURA
That's what I am!
[08:57] (Flashback) DEMON OVERLORD
Strive to become the king, Uchimura!
[08:59] UCHIMURA
I feel pathetic!
[09:02] UCHIMURA
What should I do?
[09:06] UCHIMURA
Come to think of it,
when I came to this world,
[09:09] UCHIMURA
the Demon Overlord mentioned it.
[09:11] DEMON OVERLORD {flashback}
Of course, if you decline the offer,
I'll send you back to your own world.
[09:14] DEMON OVERLORD {flashback}
I have no right to force you to accept.
[09:17] UCHIMURA {M}
It's not possible for me
to shamelessly stay here
[09:20] UCHIMURA {M}
when I can't even meet the
Demon Overlord's expectations.
[09:23] UCHIMURA {M}
I should resign from the Big Four
[09:24] UCHIMURA {M}
and go back to being a worthless
salaryman in my original world.
[09:30] NEIA
Big Sister...
[09:32] NEIA
What is Mr. Uchimura doing?
[09:39] UCHIMURA
All right. This should do as
a takeover manual for Olulu.
[09:43] UCHIMURA
All that's left is to file the necessary
documents for each case.
[09:54] UCHIMURA
Oh, hey! It's a letter from
the chimozu-selling couple!
[09:58] ZUMO
Thank you very much for
your help the other day.
[10:01] CHIMO
Even after that, many people
have continued their patronage.
[10:05] CHIMO
Thanks to you, we're very prosperous.
[10:08] CHIMO/ZUMO
We truly thank you very much.
[10:12] UCHIMURA
"We sincerely look forward
to your next visit."
[10:16] UCHIMURA
I wanted to eat it again, too.
[10:19] UCHIMURA
It's just like when I was sent overseas.
[10:23] UCHIMURA
After all, the hardest part is...
[10:28] UCHIMURA
saying goodbye...
[10:31] NEIA
Is Mr. Uchimura...?
[10:33] OLULU
We must tell Ms. Ulmandra!
[10:41] UCHIMURA {M}
I would like to announce my resignation
due to personal reasons.

SIGN Bar
[10:56] UCHIMURA
Once this is accepted, my role as one of
the Four Elite Generals will be over.
SIGN Demon Overlordy
[11:10] UCHIMURA
So much has happened.
[11:14] UCHIMURA
It was one confusing thing after another...
[11:17] UCHIMURA
but I had good colleagues and subordinates.
[11:19] UCHIMURA
And above all...
[11:23] UCHIMURA
I had the best boss.
[11:26] UCHIMURA
It really was a great workplace.
[11:34] UCHIMURA
It's such a great workplace and....
[11:37] UCHIMURA
Am I really going to quit?
[11:39] UCHIMURA
Because I'm weak?
[11:46] UCHIMURA
Huh? Master, I didn't order this.
[11:49] MASTER
On the house.
SIGN Demon Overlordy
[11:53] UCHIMURA
This, too?
[11:54] UCHIMURA
And, this?
[11:56] UCHIMURA
This one, too?
[11:56] UCHIMURA
And this?
[11:57] UCHIMURA
No matter how you look at it,
this is way too much on the house.
[12:00] MASTER
I'll be closing after today, so...
[12:02] UCHIMURA
What?
[12:05] MASTER
Now then...
[12:06] UCHIMURA
What?!
[12:07] UCHIMURA
W-Wait a minute.
[12:08] UCHIMURA
This is all too sudden.
[12:09] UCHIMURA
If this place closes, what am I going to...
[12:17] MASTER
You no longer need this establishment.
[12:21] UCHIMURA
What?!
[12:24] MASTER
It's something you should
understand yourself the most.
[12:29] UCHIMURA
I don't need it?
[12:38] UCHIMURA
What do you mean?
[12:42] UCHIMURA {M}
No. I need to go around
to say my final goodbyes.
[12:48] GNOME
Hey, Uchimura.
[12:50] UCHIMURA
Ms. Gnome. I'm sorry to bother
you so early in the morning.
[12:54] UCHIMURA
I actually came to say...
[12:55] GNOME
Good timing, come take a look at this.
[13:00] UCHIMURA
Huh?
[13:01] UCHIMURA
Oh! The demi-human troops and
the demon troops are...
[13:03] GNOME
I discussed it with Ulmandra,
[13:05] GNOME
and we decided to start doing joint
training just to experiment.
[13:08] UCHIMURA
With Ms. Ulmandra?!
[13:10] GNOME
Yeah. The rest of our soldiers
headed over to her and are training.
[13:15] GNOME
We were able to win because
of your plan to divide our roles.
[13:22] GNOME
If we regularly train together, we can
become even more effective in combat.
[13:27] GNOME
As their skills improve, they'll be
able to devise better strategies
[13:31] GNOME
that incorporate each other's strengths.
[13:34] GNOME
Having said that...
[13:36] GNOME
To be honest, I don't know
if I have what it takes
[13:39] GNOME
to bring both the demi-humans
and demons together.
[13:44] GNOME
I don't know what may trigger a conflict...
[13:47] GNOME
What if that conflict creates
a new rift between the tribes?
[13:52] GNOME
And if that happens, what can I do?
[13:56] GNOME
Once I start thinking about
it, there's no end to it.
[13:58] UCHIMURA {M}
I didn't know she was
thinking that far ahead...
[14:01] GNOME
But, I also think of it this way.
[14:04] GNOME
You can't be afraid to change.
[14:07] GNOME
You mustn't deny your own potential.
[14:10] GNOME
Isn't that right, Uchimura?
[14:12] UCHIMURA
Ms. Gnome...
[14:14] GNOME
It's all thanks to you that I
began to think this way as well.
[14:19] GNOME
Well, whenever Ulmandra
and I see each other,
[14:22] GNOME
we still get into constant arguments
as always, but you know.
[14:27] GNOME
That's the case, so Uchimura,
[14:29] GNOME
I ask that you continue to coordinate with
each of the units and with the two of us.
[14:34] UCHIMURA
Oh, I still had something to...
[14:36] GNOME
If you need anything, the least
I could do is lend you my tail.
[14:39] UCHIMURA
Oh... Uh...
[14:48] UCHIMURA
Ms. Sylphid,
[14:51] UCHIMURA
I have something I need
to speak to you about...
[14:53] SYLPHID (MALE)
Yeah. Hold on a second, Overseas.
[14:58] UCHIMURA
What is that?
[15:00] SYLPHID (MALE)
I started a plant breeding team for gim.
[15:06] UCHIMURA
When did you start all this?
[15:08] SYLPHID
I've had the idea for quite some time.
[15:11] SYLPHID
I thought perhaps yielding more gim
[15:13] SYLPHID
may be our best solution to
the food shortage problem.
[15:18] UCHIMURA
That's true...
[15:20] SYLPHID
But I had always used an
excuse to run away from it,
[15:23] SYLPHID
saying it wasn't my expertise.
[15:25] SYLPHID
I finally got around to taking that step,
[15:28] SYLPHID
but I must say, what a bothersome
task I've taken up.
[15:32] UCHIMURA
Um... Ms. Sylphid, why do you...
[15:35] SYLPHID
But even so, I want to do it.
[15:41] SYLPHID
Confronting worthless relatives brought
back silly memories from the past.
[15:50] SYLPHID
But more importantly,
it reminded me of something.
[15:55] SYLPHID
The villagers who gave me food when
I was starving and had collapsed.
[16:00] SYLPHID
Even though they were poor themselves...
[16:04] SYLPHID
That's when I realized...
[16:05] SYLPHID
My powers are meant to be used
for the good of the people!
[16:12] SYLPHID
Jobs are determined by ability and aptitude,
but a calling is decided by one's emotions.
[16:17] SYLPHID
I thought, "What we want to do, what
we should do, is what drives people."
[16:22] UCHIMURA
Want to do... Should do...
[16:26] SYLPHID
Well, it's all thanks to you that I was
able to face myself like this, Uchimura.
[16:32] SYLPHID
So, you should also face
your own inner self.
[16:35] SYLPHID
If you face your own heart,
naturally a good answer will...
[16:39] SYLPHID
Well, I don't need to be
saying this to you, right?
[16:43] UCHIMURA
Ms. Sylphid?
[16:46] SYLPHID
Now then, I have to get back to work.
[16:49] SYLPHID
Sorry, Overseas.
[16:51] SYLPHID
I don't have time to waste
lazily chatting with you.
[17:01] UCHIMURA {M}
Face my inner self...
[17:09] UCHIMURA
Ms. Ulmandra?
[17:15] UCHIMURA
What?!
[17:17] UCHIMURA
I-Is she angry...?!
[17:19] ULMANDRA
Hahaha, must be nice having
fun, chatting with the girls!
[17:23] ULMANDRA
Why am I last?
[17:25] ULMANDRA
Are you ignoring me? Do I not
even appear on your radar? Huh?!
[17:27] UCHIMURA
A barrage of insults?!
[17:29] UCHIMURA
Why do you know I was talking
to Ms. Gnome and Ms. Sylphid?!
[17:33] ULMANDRA
Huh?!
[17:34] UCHIMURA
Jeez, of course...
[17:36] UCHIMURA
I intended on visiting
you, too, Ms. Ulmandra.
[17:39] ULMANDRA
What is it?
[17:40] ULMANDRA
If you have something to
say, spit it all out.
[17:43] UCHIMURA
Y-You see... I was told by the Demon
Overlord to strive to be the king, and...
[17:51] UCHIMURA
I got so confused, and...
[17:55] UCHIMURA
I'm so pathetic, aren't I?
Dragging my feet like this...
[18:11] ULMANDRA
You finally showed your weakness.
[18:15] ULMANDRA
You don't show your weakness enough.
[18:17] ULMANDRA
That's your problem.
[18:19] ULMANDRA
As one of the Big Four,
you're handling everything.
[18:22] ULMANDRA
You've accomplished so much that you
forgot the most important thing.
[18:26] UCHIMURA
The most important thing?
[18:35] ULMANDRA
Ulmandra, the Inferno Assailant!
[18:38] UCHIMURA
Overseas Manager, Dennosuke Uchimura!
[18:43] ULMANDRA
Rely on me more. We're friends, aren't we?
[18:48] ULMANDRA
Even if the world is disappointed
in you, I'll stay by your side.
[18:54] ULMANDRA
Um... So, have confidence in yourself!
[18:56] ULMANDRA
Aim to be the king, or demon
overlord, or whatever!
[19:03] UCHIMURA
Why?
[19:04] ULMANDRA
Huh?!
[19:08] UCHIMURA
Why is everyone so kind?
[19:11] ULMANDRA
Wait, what?
[19:12] UCHIMURA
Thank you so much, Ms. Ulmandra...
[19:16] ULMANDRA
Quit crying! Hey! Uchimura?!
[19:20] VOICE {background while the following people talk. Flashback quotes}
Tch, you should have just kept your
mouth shut and done as you're told.
[19:23] GNOME
Uchimura, you mustn't break.
[19:26] VOICE {background while the following people talk. Flashback quotes}
Thanks for the hard work.
I'll take it from here.
[19:26] OLULU
Mr. Uchimura.
[19:29] ZUMO
Mr. Uchimura.
[19:29] VOICE {background while the following people talk. Flashback quotes}
Well, keep doing your best, elite boy.
[19:30] CHIMO
Mr. Uchimura.
[19:33] SYLPHID
You have to face yourself, Uchimura.
[19:36] BUTAGALIAN
Mr. Uchimura.
[19:39] NEIA
Mr. Uchimura.
[19:41] ULMANDRA
We're friends, aren't we?
[20:04] UCHIMURA
I apologize for my late reply.
[20:07] UCHIMURA
Demon Overlord, your presence
is so big and far too great.
[20:12] UCHIMURA
I still feel very hesitant to imagine
myself becoming the king.
[20:18] UCHIMURA
However, my colleagues are pushing forward
and standing up to new challenges as well.
[20:25] UCHIMURA
From each and every one's actions and
thoughts, it made me realize something.
[20:31] UCHIMURA
That one should never deny
oneself and create limitations.
[20:36] UCHIMURA
And when I gazed into my heart,
[20:39] UCHIMURA
I was acknowledged by you, Demon Overlord...
[20:42] UCHIMURA
I sincerely felt happy about that.
[20:46] UCHIMURA
Besides anxiousness, I felt that
I want to meet your expectations
[20:52] UCHIMURA
and truly give it a try.
[20:55] UCHIMURA
That said, it's clear that it's nearly
impossible to become a powerful king like you.
[21:01] UCHIMURA
It is very obvious that I, for one, cannot.
[21:03] UCHIMURA
Therefore, I want to seek a
new way of becoming a king.
[21:07] DEMON OVERLORD
A new way?
[21:09] UCHIMURA
Yes! A new type of king, who does
not use power to stand on top.
[21:13] DEMON OVERLORD
Hm...
[21:15] UCHIMURA
If that is all right by you, I will...
[21:19] UCHIMURA
Strive to become the king!
[21:21] UCHIMURA
No, please allow me to strive to become one!
[21:25] UCHIMURA
I am still a fledgling.
[21:27] UCHIMURA
Therefore, I wish to seek further
guidance from you, Demon Overlord.
[21:32] UCHIMURA
Not only from you. I will need
help from all of my companions.
[21:40] UCHIMURA
Please allow me to continue to fully
take part in each task before me.
[21:48] UCHIMURA
Demon Overlord, sir?
[21:49] DEMON OVERLORD
All right. That will do, Uchimura.
[21:56] DEMON OVERLORD
For the sake of the Demon Army,
[21:58] DEMON OVERLORD
for the sake of this world,
[21:59] DEMON OVERLORD
let us aim for the top together.
[22:02] UCHIMURA
Yes, sir!
[22:10] OLULU
Mr. Uchimura, we have received an invitation
[22:13] OLULU
to the commemorative ceremony
from the Rampage Kingdom.
[22:16] UCHIMURA
Thank you, Olulu. Please have
the other attendees researched.
[22:19] UCHIMURA
I want to communicate with
our neighbors as much as possible.
[22:22] UCHIMURA
Neia, let's go with this schedule
for the southern area inspections.
[22:25] NEIA
Yes, sir!
[22:26] UCHIMURA
And also, about the
pest control committee, this...
[22:28] ULMANDRA
Hey, Uchimura!
[22:30] UCHIMURA
Hm?
[22:30] ULMANDRA
Let's have a toast to your future.
[22:33] ULMANDRA
Go get your glass, too.
[22:35] UCHIMURA
Huh?
[22:36] UCHIMURA
Mine, too?
[22:37] ULMANDRA
You know, the glasses that you
bought as a pair before?
[22:43] ULMANDRA
Oh!
[22:44] ULMANDRA
If you're talking about that glass, after
that, I presented it to the Demon Overlord!
[22:51] ULMANDRA
W-What did you just say?
[23:01] DEMON OVERLORD
To Uchimura and
the future of this world.
[23:04] DEMON OVERLORD
Cheers.
[23:05] UCHIMURA
Demon Overlordy!
