[00:01] Narrator
    There once was a powerless prince who
    saved a kingdom with his tiny courage.
[00:07] Narrator
    The courage to face challenges...
[00:10] Narrator
    The courage to never give up...
[00:12] Narrator
    The courage to trust others...
[00:15] Narrator
    A treasure chest of untold courage
    is now about to be opened.

    The callous absurdity I've
    carried with me since birth
[00:41] [SONG] Op
    meant playing shadow tag to find my next meal
[00:47] [SONG] Op
    Bit by bit, my heart got bent out of shape
[00:50] [SONG] Op
    until I tuned out both
    the cheers and the jeers
[00:55] [SONG] Op
    That's how I survived my initial loneliness
[01:00] [SONG] Op
    Night falls and the darkness grows
[01:06] [SONG] Op
    blending in, coalescing
[01:11] [SONG] Op
    around so trivial a fate as my own
[01:15] [SONG] Op
    Hey, I want to get through to you
[01:18] [SONG] Op
    though I may only know commonplace words
[01:23] [SONG] Op
    It's so frustrating having to be like this
[01:26] [SONG] Op
    Hey, never mind that it may not be easy
[01:29] [SONG] Op
    to become angry or let yourself cry
[01:35] [SONG] Op
    because someone could be listening in
[01:38] [SONG] Op
    The only thing that's
    certain is the temperature
[01:44] [SONG] Op

[01:53] Narrator
    Bojji, who lost his throne to his
    brother, Daida, had gone on a journey.
[01:57] Narrator
    In order to become a mighty man,
[01:59] Narrator
    he became the apprentice of
    Despa of the Underworld.
[02:03] Narrator
    With Kage's support, his training
    was making good progress.
[02:07] Narrator
    Or at least it should have been...
SIGN    Kage's Errand
[02:12] Kage
    I think we're ready to go and get Despa.
[02:15] Kage
    Whoa! What's all that?
[02:18] Kage
    Bojji, Despa is yelling
    about something. Let's go.
[02:23] Kage
    What's the matter, Despa?
[02:27] Despa
    Just look at this. Right here.
[02:31] Despa
    Right here!
[02:35] Kage
    Is there something stuck on there?
[02:37] Despa
    It's an age spot! An age spot! And on
     my handsome face! An age spot!
[02:43] Kage
    Everybody gets those, right?
[02:46] Despa
    Others may get them, but I do not!
[02:50] Despa
    I cannot be getting one!
[02:54] Despa
    I can no longer provide training to Bojji.
[02:59] Kage
    Huh?! Why not?!
[03:01] Kage
    You said you were gonna make
    Bojji stronger, remember?!
[03:05] Despa
    Perhaps I haven't been getting enough sleep.
[03:10] Despa
    I'm going back to bed.
[03:12] Kage
    Huh?! What about training?!
[03:16] Despa
    I told you, now isn't the time for that.
[03:19] Despa
    Ah, I've had it. I can't take a single
    step out of the room looking like this.
[03:24] Kage
    Don't talk like that! Isn't there some
    kind of medicine that fixes age spots?
[03:28] Kage
    I'll go buy it for you.
[03:30] Kage
    Look, I've heard that meat
    and veggies and... you know,
[03:34] Kage
    fruits are good for your looks!
[03:39] Despa
    You're right! That's it!
[03:42] Despa
    That's it! There's always the shuddercap!
[03:46] Kage
    The shuddercap?
[03:48] Despa
    It's a mushroom that's very
    effective for preserving beauty.
[03:51] Despa
    If I ate one of those...
[03:53] Despa
    my skin's beauty would be revived.
[03:56] Despa
    In theory!
[04:00] Despa
    Kage, take this and go buy me
    a shuddercap, if you would.
[04:04] Kage
    You bet!
[04:05] Kage
    Then you have to train Bojji!
[04:07] Despa
    Huh?
[04:09] Despa
    Hmm, I suppose I do.
[04:11] Despa
    Well, shall we get to it?
[04:14] Kage
    A shuddercap... A shuddercap...
[04:17] Kage
    Where exactly are they?
[04:22] Kage
    Mister! Got a shuddercap?
[04:25] Grocer
    I don't have a mushroom that rare.
[04:28] Kage
    You, either?
[04:29] Kage
    Ah, man! How come I can't
    find one anywhere?!
[04:33] Grocer
    Give it up.
[04:35] Grocer
    It's not every day you see
    one of those in a store.
[04:37] Grocer
    It's not all that easy to pick a shuddercap.
[04:41] Grocer
    If you head one hill over that
    way to the Okkana Forest,
[04:44] Grocer
    you can find some shuddercaps.
[04:46] Grocer
    But there's a creature in that forest
    that's downright terrifying.
[04:50] Grocer
    If you get caught, you're done for.
    It's not very easy to get away.
[04:57] Kage/I
    This is for Bojji.
    There's no choice but to go.
[05:11] Despa
    Please, pay me no mind. Sunlight is
     one of the causes of age spots.
[05:15] Despa
    Even down here in the underworld,
    where you can't see the sun,
[05:18] Despa
    you can't be too careful!
[05:24] Kage
    If he catches me, I'm done for?
     Who is this guy?
[05:29] Kage
    Eep!
[05:37] Kage
    Wah! Don't scare me like that!
[05:47] Kage
    What's that?
[05:49] Kage
    What is it?
[05:51] Kage
    What is it?!
[05:55] Kage
    It's here!
[06:03] Kage
    Oh, no! What do I do?!
[06:39] Kage/I
    Was that the downright terrifying guy?
[06:41] Kage
    He's right. If I got caught,
    I'd definitely get eaten.
[06:45] Kage
    Old lady, are you okay?
[06:47] Old Woman
    Yeah, thank you. I'm still alive,
     thanks to you.
[06:51] Kage
    It's all good.
[06:53] Kage
    Say, would you know where mushrooms
    called shuddercaps grow?
[06:57] Old Woman
    Well, you're sure making a tall order.
[07:00] Old Woman
    I'm sorry, but I couldn't say.
[07:02] Kage
    No, huh?
[07:05] Old Woman
    Oh, dear.
[07:06] Kage
    Oh, you must have broken it earlier.
[07:09] Kage
    Sorry, but I need to get moving.
[07:11] Old Woman
    Yow-ow-ow-ow... I think I must
    have sprained my ankle. Yowch...
[07:17] Kage
    We can't have that, can we?
[07:22] Kage
    Well, I'll be going now.
[07:24] Old Woman
    Oh, what am I going to do? I can't
    clean with my ankle like this.
[07:29] Old Woman
    And my throat is sore, too.
[07:31] Old Woman
    I'm liable to get buried under
    all this dust and die here.
[07:37] Kage
    Okay, fine! I'll clean up for you!
[07:40] Old Woman
    Oh, you will? How helpful of you.
[07:52] Old Woman
    You're so good at this.
[07:55] Old Woman
    The room is sparkling.
[07:57] Kage
    I-It's no big deal.
[07:58] Old Woman
    If you're this good at cleaning,
[08:00] Old Woman
    I'm sure you must be a whiz at laundry, too.
[08:03] Kage
    You could say that. It's a cinch for me.
[08:06] Kage
    Whoo! I got those nice and clean,
     if I do say so myself.
[08:10] Kage
    Huh? What am I doing all this for, anyway?
[08:14] Kage
    Old lady, the laundry is done! I need
    to get going to find those mushrooms.
[08:19] Old Woman
    You do? Then I'll see you out.
[08:22] Kage
    Whoa! Are you all right?
[08:25] Old Woman
    Poor pitiful me. I can't plant the
    seedlings I bought in this condition.
[08:30] Kage
    Huh?
[08:31] Old Woman
    Oh, it's so chilly today.
[08:34] Old Woman
    That's the last log of firewood, too.
[08:37] Old Woman
    Once that's burned up,
[08:39] Old Woman
    I'll probably just freeze to death.
[08:43] Kage
    Aw, man! I'll take care
    of all of it for you!
[09:18] Despa
    I figured that as long as I was at it,
[09:21] Despa
    covering myself up entirely
    would be more effective.
[09:24] Kage
    I stacked plenty of firewood for you.
[09:27] Kage
    And I folded your laundry.
[09:29] Kage
    That should do it, right?
[09:31] Old Woman
    I suppose so. One last thing...
[09:34] Old Woman
    Would you mind doing something about this?
[09:37] Kage
    Hmm, that's something
    I can't help you with. Sorry.
[09:41] Old Woman
    I see.
[09:42] Kage
    Okay, I have to get going. I have
    to hurry and find a shuddercap.
[09:46] Old Woman
    Right this minute?
    That's out of the question.
[09:50] Old Woman
    It's too dark out.
[09:52] Kage
    Oh, no.
[09:54] Old Woman
    It's too bad it didn't pan out for you.
[09:57] Kage
    What didn't pan out?
[09:59] Old Woman
    You're trying to pick shuddercaps to
    sell for a good price in town, right?
[10:04] Kage
    That's not what I'm doing! I...
[10:07] Kage
    wanted to bring one home
    with me for a friend.
[10:11] Old Woman
    Is that so? You really
    are a pushover, huh?
[10:16] Kage
    See you. Be sure to take it easy, now.
[10:21] Old Woman
    Just a moment!
[10:25] Old Woman
    I baked too much pie.
[10:28] Old Woman
    Here, take this home with you.
[10:29] Kage
    Th-Thanks.
[10:32] Kage
    Later.
[10:36] Kage
    Huh? I thought the old lady hurt her ankle.
[10:40] Kage
    Oh well.
[10:44] Kage
    I'm back.
[10:45] Despa
    Well, you sure took your time.
[10:49] Despa
    So, did you get a shuddercap?
[10:51] Kage
    Well, the thing is, I looked all over town,
     but nobody was selling them.
[10:56] Despa
    I see.
[10:57] Kage
    I even went to Okkana Forest to pick one.
[11:00] Despa
    Huh? Not that forest!
[11:02] Kage
    Anyhow, I ran into an old lady being
    attacked by a wild animal there.
[11:05] Kage
    I was helping her around her house,
    and now it's so late. Sorry.
[11:12] Kage
    Here's the money you gave me.
     You can have it back.
[11:19] Despa
    I smell something good.
[11:22] Kage
    Ah, on my way back, the old
    lady let me have this pie.
[11:26] Despa
    What a delicate fragrance
    gently wafting into my nose!
[11:30] Despa
    There's no question, this is...
[11:32] Despa
    a shuddercap pie, isn't it?!
[11:35] Kage
    Huh?!
[11:36] Despa
    Imagine, that old woman
    giving someone shuddercaps.
[11:41] Despa
    Harvesting shuddercaps is dangerous,
    so only a few people can do it.
[11:46] Kage
    Dangerous how?
[11:48] Kage
    Shuddercaps only grow on the
    backs of wild animals, you see.
[11:52] Kage
    Huh?!
[11:53] Despa
    And that old woman is famous for taking
    people who are after shuddercaps
[11:58] Despa
    and then bossing them around.
[12:02] Grocer
    If you get caught, you're done for.
    It's not very easy to get away.
[12:07] Kage
    So that's what he meant.
[12:10] Despa
    All right, allow me to purchase
    these shuddercaps from you now.
[12:14] Kage
    Huh? Huh? You mean it?
[12:17] Despa
    Well, you did bring them
    back with you, after all.
[12:20] Kage
    Wow!
[12:26] Kage
    You wonder if there's something I want?
[12:34] Kage
    Maybe.
[12:39] Despa
    Well, then...
[12:41] Kage / Despa
    Let's eat!

[12:51] Narrator
    Now that the training had resumed,
[12:54] Narrator
    Bojji and Kage could
    breathe a little easier.
[12:58] Narrator
    However, all the same,
[13:00] Narrator
    Despa was still a money-grubbing man.
[13:04] Despa
    I'm short.
[13:06] Despa
    This is...
[13:09] Despa
    not nearly enough!
[13:15] Despa
    Today,
[13:16] Despa
    I'll need the two of you
    to earn some money.
[13:19] Kage
    Wha—?!
[13:20] Kage
    Where did this come from?!
    We're here for training—
[13:24] Despa
    Bojji is royalty, and ignorant
    of the ways of the world.
[13:27] Despa
    He needs to learn about society.
[13:30] Despa
    Especially if he wants
    to become a fine king!
[13:33] Kage
    I get it.
[13:35] Despa
    Besides,
[13:36] Despa
    the amount of money you brought
    me is not going to cut it.
[13:39] Despa
    Not even close!
[13:40] Despa
    It's not worth my while!
[13:45] Kage
    It turns out that Despa really is
    all about the money, huh, Bojji?
[13:50] Kage
    Hm? You're looking forward to working?
[13:55] Kage
    Bojji, what kind of work do you wanna do?
[14:00] Kage
    You wanna try all kinds?
[14:02] Kage
    Hmm... the thing is...
[14:06] Kage
    "Help wanted." A flower shop, eh?
[14:09] Kage
    Bojji, you like flowers,
    so this looks okay, doesn't it?
[14:13] Florist
    Okay, would you carry these
    flowers into the shop for me?
[14:16] Kage
    All of them?!
[14:18] Florist
    That's right, if you would.
[14:21] Kage
    All right, let's go ahead
    and finish this up quick.
[14:30] Kage
    Bojji, are you okay?
[14:34] Florist
    Hey there, can't you lift even that?
[14:38] Kage
    Everything's fine! I'll work
    double to make up for him!
[14:41] Florist
    They're going to wither if
    you take that much time.
[14:44] Florist
    Why don't you go find some other work?
[14:46] Kage
    There are tons of other jobs
    out there. We'll find one soon.
[14:51] Kage
    A restaurant, huh? How about this place?
[14:55] Customer
    Hey! Hey!
[14:59] Customer
    I'm ready to order! Hey! Hey!
[15:02] Clerk
    Hey, there's a customer calling you!
     Hurry on over there!
[15:07] Clerk
    Didn't you hear me?! Hey!
[15:09] Kage
    Whoa, just a minute! I'm on my way!
[15:14] Clerk
    I'm talking to you!
[15:17] Kage
    Wah! Hold up! Hold up!
[15:19] Kage
    Bojji can't hear anything.
[15:21] Clerk
    He what?
[15:22] Kage
    But he's able to read lips,
    so he can take orders—
[15:25] Clerk
    He can't work like that!
[15:28] Kage
    Don't worry about it. We're not
    gonna let this get us down, right?
[15:34] Kage
    Hey, cheer up.
[15:36] Kage/I
    Hmm, what kind of job should
    we try next? There must be...
[15:41] Customer 1
    Damn it! I'll hit it next time, though!
[15:58] Kage
    I know! This is it!
[16:01] Kage
    Hey, you there! Mister! Ma'am!
[16:04] Kage
    If you can hit this guy with
    a beanbag, you get 100 gold coins!
[16:07] Kage
    You can't win if you don't try!
    First come, first served!
[16:10] Customer 1
    You're not pulling our legs, right?
[16:13] Customer 1
    We really just have to hit that guy?
[16:16] Kage
    It's true. If you can hit him with
    a beanbag from this distance,
[16:19] Kage
    you get 100 gold coins!
[16:21] Kage
    It only costs ten copper coins
    per throw. What do you say?
[16:24] Customer 1
    Oh yeah! I'm in!
[16:30] Kage
    Whoo!
[16:32] Kage
    Okay, don't step over those stones, now.
[16:34] Customer 1
    Heh-heh, I'm gonna clock him.
[16:45] Customer 1
    One more throw!
[16:47] Kage
    You got it.
[16:58] Customer 1
    It's no use.
[16:59] Customer 1
    We couldn't hit him for anything.
[17:04] Kage
    Bojji, look at this! This should
    make Despa happy, right?
[17:09] Kage
    Hmm? What is it?
[17:13] Girl
    This is all the money I have. I want to try.
[17:21] Kage
    Don't do it. Don't do it!
[17:23] Kage
    This is just for fun.
    Don't take it seriously.
[17:25] Customer 6
    Young lady, don't do it.
[17:27] Customer 7
    You can't hit him.
[17:29] Girl
    Never mind! I want to try, so I will!
[17:36] Kage
    Bojji, come here a second.
[17:39] Kage
    You can't let her hit you on purpose!
[17:41] Kage
    This is what being ignorant
    of the world means.
[17:44] Kage
    Look here! Don't let yourself be fooled!
[17:47] Customer
    Is she really going through with it?
[17:50] Kage
    Okay, here's three throws.
[17:53] Girl
    Thank you!
[17:54] Kage
    First throw!
[17:55] Customers
    Good luck!
[17:57] Customers
    Let him have it!
[18:05] Kage
    A-At least get it to him. Second throw!
[18:13] Kage
    That one was a wild pitch!
[18:16] Kage
    Whatever happens, this is
    the last throw, understand?
[18:33] Customer (Woman)
    Oh, she's got him!
[18:35] Customers
    Oh, she made it!
[18:36] Customers
    Let's see!
[18:39] Kage
    Bojji!
[18:43] Customer
    Aw...
[18:45] Customer (Woman)
    Too bad.
[18:48] Kage
    What? You're done.
[18:52] Customer (Woman)
    That poor girl...
[18:53] Kage
    That dumb girl. Poor people
    shouldn't gamble.
[18:59] Kage
    H-Hey, Bojji!
[19:01] Girl
    I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted
    to buy medicine for you.
[19:06] Mother
    You're a silly little girl, you know that?
[19:09] Kage
    Hmph, I figured it was something like this.
[19:13] Kage
    At the end of the day,
    you're on your own to survive.
[19:17] Kage
    You've gotta make your own way.
[19:26] Kage
    What are you looking at me like that for?
[19:27] Kage
    Do you have something you wanna say?
[19:32] Kage
    You think you should have
    let her hit you after all?
[19:35] Kage
    Bojji, are you really sure about that?
[19:38] Kage
    If she learns that it's easy to make money,
[19:40] Kage
    she's the one who's going
    to suffer down the road.
[19:44] Despa
    Ah, I see you're back.
[19:48] Despa
    How did it go? Did you earn any money?
[19:51] Despa
    Th-This is amazing! You made this much?!
[19:55] Kage
    Despa, there's a girl we
    wanna help with this money.
[20:00] Despa
    What are you talking about?
[20:02] Kage
    There's this girl that has a sick mother.
[20:05] Kage
    If we give her that money,
    she may still pull through.
[20:08] Kage
    But if we do that, it won't
    really solve anything.
[20:12] Kage
    Despa, we need your help.
[20:18] Despa
    Just as I was hoping. It looks like you
    really did learn your social lesson.
[20:25] Despa
    Hm? Hmm?
[20:27] Despa
    Don't tell me you thought
    I only wanted the money.
[20:32] Despa
    What do you take me for? You let
    me handle things from here.
[20:37] Kage
    Do you mean it?!
[20:39] Kage
    Hmm? There's something funny here.
[20:43] Kage
    There's no way Despa would do anything
    that didn't get him any money so easily.
[20:48] Despa
    Of course not!
[20:51] Despa
    So how about we do this?
[20:54] Despa
    This is an investment in the future.
    I will teach her some lessons,
[20:59] Despa
    and lend them the money they
    need, a little at a time.
[21:02] Despa
    She'll attend to her studies,
    and by broadening her horizons,
[21:05] Despa
    she will gain the knowledge
    it takes to make money. Then,
[21:09] Despa
    once she's able to earn some money,
[21:12] Despa
    I'll have her pay all of my money back.
[21:20] [SONG] Ed
    Your precious words are now
    fluttering through the sky
[21:35] [SONG] Ed
    The nights when I was alone
    still had countless stars
[21:41] [SONG] Ed
    Even now, they're close at
    hand whenever I close my eyes
[21:47] [SONG] Ed
    With no destination, I kept on walking
[21:50] [SONG] Ed
    Although I was tired, I kept on walking
[21:52] [SONG] Ed
    I just wanted to remain in prayers forever
[21:58] [SONG] Ed
    Covered in scars, covered in mud
[22:01] [SONG] Ed
    stretching out hands that won't reach
[22:04] [SONG] Ed
    I want to seize a fragment of my
    hopes and dreams right this minute
[22:14] [SONG] Ed
    Keep smiling, keep smiling,
    you don't have to be strong
[22:20] [SONG] Ed
    That sweet smile, that
    sweet smile is all you need
[22:27] [SONG] Ed
    Your unique smile brings
    the power and strength
[22:32] [SONG] Ed
    to chase away all the clouds
[22:38] [SONG] Ed
    Your precious words are now
    fluttering through the sky
