[00:04] ---
    What is the Ranking of Kings?
[00:06] ---
    "Does he have many
    prominent knights in his service?"
[00:10] ---
    "Does he have many subjects,
    and are his towns thriving?"
[00:14] ---
    "And most of all, is the king
    himself as powerful as a hero?"
[00:18] ---
    These conditions determine
    the ranking of each nation's king.
[00:29] ---
    Prince, did they pick on you again?
[00:34] ---
    It's all right. You are a strong boy.
[00:38] ---
    You can make it through
    lots of unpleasantness.
[00:42] ---
    Then you have to become
    the greatest king in all the world.
[00:46] ---
    Promise me.
[01:02] ---
    Face dewy with tears and sweat
[01:07] ---
    With your own unique beauty
[01:11] ---
    Smile for me
[01:14] ---
    Panting with exertion,
    you shine brighter than anyone

[01:21] ---
    "Ranking of Kings"
[01:28] ---
    You melted into these almost listless days
[01:32] ---
    Energy faded like soda gone flat
[01:37] ---
    As a duckling you spread your wings
[01:41] ---
    And dream of flying as a swan
[01:46] ---
    If you have to wander,
    then enjoy it as much as you can

[01:50] ---
    Nothing fun about
    just taking shortcuts, right?

[01:55] ---
    You took your time, took the hard road
[01:57] ---
    But you couldn't get there
[02:00] ---
    You keep chasing the sunset
    as many times as it takes

[02:05] ---
    Now run far
[02:08] ---
    Your dirty shoes and footprints
    will head steadily into the future

[02:17] ---
    Panting with exertion,
    you shine brighter than anyone

[02:31] ---
    "Episode 1: The Prince's New Clothes"
[03:25] ---
    Who the heck are you?
[03:28] ---
    Hey, wait!
[03:34] ---
    I haven't seen you around here.
    Plus you're wearing that crown.
[03:37] ---
    Who are you?
[03:40] ---
    I'm talking to you! Are you ignoring me?!
[03:42] ---
    Hmph, fine, then.
[03:45] ---
    Okay, if you value your life,
    give me all your money.
[03:50] ---
    Speak up! I told you
    to hand over your money!
[03:56] ---
    What's your deal? You can't talk?
[04:00] ---
    You can't hear, either?
[04:04] ---
    So how am I supposed
    to get through to you?
[04:09] ---
    What? You don't have any money?
[04:12] ---
    Can you tell what I'm saying
    by watching my mouth?
[04:18] ---
    Do I understand what
    you're saying, you ask?
[04:21] ---
    I guess. I don't know how
    I understand you, but I do.
[04:24] ---
    Wait, that doesn't matter!
[04:26] ---
    If you don't have any money then take off
    all your clothes and leave them here!
[04:34] ---
    Nice and obedient, aren't you?
    That's good for a poor guy like me.
[04:38] ---
    You're doing the right thing here.
[04:44] ---
    You show some promise, you know that?
[04:47] ---
    All right, bring me some more
    expensive clothes tomorrow.
[04:50] ---
    And remember,
    don't tell anyone else about this.
[04:54] ---
    Good, now get going.
[04:58] ---
    There sure are some stupid kids out there.
[05:08] ---
    What's going on there?
[05:09] ---
    That's the First Prince, Prince Bojji.
[05:12] ---
    That's the prince?
[05:14] ---
    I'd bet he got held up
    by a highwayman somewhere.
[05:17] ---
    Oh, but he was smiling.
[05:20] ---
    He's stupid. What's more,
    he can't hear or talk, either.
[05:24] ---
    To make matters worse, I hear he can't
    even wield a children's sword well.
[05:28] ---
    He's a waste of a prince.
[05:33] ---
    He's not coming...
[05:37] ---
    H-He's... not planning on
    having me arrested, is he?
[05:59] ---
    Hey.
[06:02] ---
    What are you so happy about?
[06:05] ---
    You're happy to have
    someone you can talk to?
[06:08] ---
    What's the matter with you?
    That's something that makes you happy?
[06:12] ---
    Oh.
[06:13] ---
    You can't hear and you're an idiot, so
    nobody engages with you, is that it?
[06:20] ---
    "That's right. You really do get me."
[06:23] ---
    You idiot!
[06:24] ---
    I'm making fun of you!
[06:28] ---
    You sure are hard to deal with.
[06:33] ---
    What? You're bringing lots
    more clothes tomorrow, too,
[06:36] ---
    so you want me to be here?
[06:39] ---
    Hmph, I don't take orders from anyone.
[06:43] ---
    What's your name?
[06:46] ---
    Bojji, eh?
[06:48] ---
    I'm Kage.
[06:52] ---
    Don't overdo it.
    Let's do this again tomorrow, Bojji.
[07:00] ---
    First time I've ever met anyone like that.
[07:03] ---
    Well, his clothes will
    fetch a pretty penny,
[07:06] ---
    so I guess I'll wait for him.
[07:31] ---
    Whoa, so you're the prince
    who lives in that castle there?
[07:35] ---
    Then you'll be the king someday.
[07:39] ---
    You're gonna be the
    greatest king in the world?
[07:45] ---
    There's no way
    you'll ever be a great king!
[07:48] ---
    For one thing, you're deaf,
    and on top of that, you're dumb.
[07:51] ---
    You really are an idiot, huh?
[07:58] ---
    Wh-What? You'll be a great king anyway?
[08:05] ---
    Okay, fine.
[08:07] ---
    Become the king, and make
    the world a fun place to live in.
[08:13] ---
    I'll be waiting patiently for that day.
[08:26] ---
    Uh-huh, they're laughing at him.
[08:29] ---
    Of course, I'm to blame for that.
[08:31] ---
    I've seen him out of
    his clothes every day, lately.
[08:34] ---
    It's unsettling to think
    that he might be the next king.
[08:38] ---
    Why don't you have any clothes on?
[08:40] ---
    Hey, did you hear what she asked?
[08:41] ---
    How come?
    How come?
[08:42] ---
    He can't hear them.
[08:44] ---
    Hey, you there!
[08:45] ---
    The prince is unable to hear anything.
[08:47] ---
    Why not? He has ears, doesn't he?
[08:49] ---
    Some people have ears,
    but still can't hear.
[08:52] ---
    Then he can't hear us
    if we insult him, right?
[08:54] ---
    Stupid! Stupid!
[08:55] ---
    Hey, now...
[08:59] ---
    Hey, would you say something?
[09:05] ---
    He says "ungh-ungh"!
[09:07] ---
    Poor boy.
[09:09] ---
    Ah, he left!
    Wait up!
[09:12] ---
    If you can't talk,
    then just say you can't talk!
[09:15] ---
    Don't be ridiculous.
[09:23] ---
    This...
[09:25] ---
    is where that guy lives?
    That kind of makes me angry, somehow.
[09:30] ---
    Hey, he doesn't have any clothes on again.
[09:32] ---
    Pathetic.
[09:34] ---
    I doubt he even realizes
    how big of a fool he is.
[09:37] ---
    Ignorance is bliss.
[09:45] ---
    I can't believe you
    actually go out undressed.
[09:48] ---
    What exactly is the
    meaning of this, Prince Bojji?
[09:50] ---
    "Queen Hiling,
    mother of Second Prince Daida"
    What exactly is the
    meaning of this, Prince Bojji?
[09:51] ---
    "Queen Hiling,
    mother of Second Prince Daida"
    Well, it's likely that
[09:53] ---
    "Justice Minister Sandeo"
    Well, it's likely that
[09:53] ---
    "Justice Minister Sandeo"
    he got mugged by highwaymen.
[09:56] ---
    "Big Four, 'Swordmaster' Domas"
    he got mugged by highwaymen.
[09:57] ---
    "Big Four, 'Swordmaster' Domas"
    How can something like that happen
    to one of our princes? Pathetic.
[09:59] ---
    "Prince Bojji's swordsmanship tutor"
    How can something like that happen
    to one of our princes? Pathetic.
[10:02] ---
    "Big Four, 'Spear of the King' Apeas"
[10:05] ---
    "Big Four, 'Shield of the Queen' Dorshe"
[10:06] ---
    "Big Four, 'Shield of the Queen' Dorshe"
    Domas...
[10:07] ---
    "Big Four, 'Shield of the Queen' Dorshe"
    Your Majesty?
[10:08] ---
    Go and catch this highwayman.
    He must be put to death.
[10:12] ---
    Very well.
[10:14] ---
    What? I have it wrong?
[10:16] ---
    You were playing a game by yourself?!
    What sort of game is this?!
[10:21] ---
    You are tarnishing
    the dignity of the royal family,
[10:23] ---
    and furthermore, you are
    disturbing the kingdom's harmony.
[10:26] ---
    Ordinarily, these would be grave
    offenses that you'd lose your head for.
[10:31] ---
    But now, I think it is quite clear...
[10:34] ---
    that this boy
    is not fit to be the king.
[10:40] ---
    You don't have to translate that!
[10:42] ---
    Daida is a hundred times
    more fit to be the king. Huh?
[10:47] ---
    The boy appears to be quite shocked.
    He can't hear me, right?
[10:51] ---
    That is our understanding.
[10:54] ---
    Hmph. Let's go.
[10:57] ---
    How is he First Prince,
    while Daida is Second Prince, anyway?
[11:01] ---
    I wish this were a meritocracy.
[11:03] ---
    Your uniform is rumpled!
    Off with your head!
[11:06] ---
    I-I am terribly sorry!
[11:08] ---
    What's up with that hysterical
    brickhouse old biddy? She's a queen?
[11:16] ---
    Prince...
[11:18] ---
    The king was asking for you. Please get
    dressed and go see him right away.
[11:56] ---
    So he's...
[11:59] ---
    been holding himself back and acting
    like he's been okay this whole time.
[12:05] ---
    Hold on, which way did he go?
[12:16] ---
    You're a member of
    the shadow clan, aren't you?
[12:17] ---
    "Big Four, 'Snake Handler' Bebin"
    You're a member of
    the shadow clan, aren't you?
[12:20] ---
    "Seconnd Prince Daida's
    swordsmanship tutor"
[12:20] ---
    "Second Prince Daida's
    swordsmanship tutor"
    That accursed clan of assassins. I heard
    they had been completely wiped out.
[12:22] ---
    That accursed clan of assassins. I heard
    they had been completely wiped out.
[12:28] ---
    You're still just a child.
[12:37] ---
    Enter.
[12:58] ---
    "Ranking of Kings 7th Place, King Bosse"
[13:00] ---
    "Ranking of Kings 7th Place, King Bosse"
    You're here,
[13:02] ---
    Prince.
[13:09] ---
    It happened without any warning.
[13:14] ---
    Despite suffering many losses,
[13:16] ---
    the villagers fought
    with everything they had...
[13:19] ---
    What is that?
[13:21] ---
    But when they saw a horde of monsters
    large enough to engulf the field,
[13:25] ---
    the villagers cursed their fate.
[13:32] ---
    A man appeared out of nowhere.
[13:38] ---
    The way he fought
    was truly a sight to see.
[13:55] ---
    This was the beginning
    of the Kingdom of Bosse.
[14:00] ---
    Bojji, I hear you've been walking
    around town lately with no clothes on.
[14:06] ---
    "Premier Sorii"
    What is the meaning of this?
[14:08] ---
    We of the royal family must be
    those upon whom the people can rely.
[14:14] ---
    Were you attacked by highwaymen?
    Or perhaps someone bullied you.
[14:19] ---
    It doesn't really matter.
[14:22] ---
    The issue is that you allowed
    the situation to happen...
[14:26] ---
    King Bosse!
[14:28] ---
    Remain calm.
[14:34] ---
    You are the son of the late first queen,
[14:38] ---
    and I adore you so much
    I can't bear it. However,
[14:42] ---
    my heart aches for
    the country once I am gone.
[14:48] ---
    Your hands are soft and weak.
[14:51] ---
    Daida's hands are
    hunks of effort and training.
[14:54] ---
    I have given you Domas, the greatest
    swordmaster in the land, as your teacher.
[15:00] ---
    There's no reason
    why you can't grow stronger.
[15:03] ---
    Domas...
[15:04] ---
    Majesty?
[15:05] ---
    I want you to train
    the prince more rigorously.
[15:08] ---
    Yes, Majesty.
[15:10] ---
    Devote yourself to your training, my son.
[15:14] ---
    Now go.
[15:23] ---
    Who sent you,
    and who are you here to kill?
[15:28] ---
    Unless you answer me...
[15:29] ---
    Look, I told you!
[15:31] ---
    I don't do any killing!
[15:35] ---
    Ee-yow!
    Assassination is
    the shadow clan's livelihood.
[15:40] ---
    You were once the in-house
    assassins for the Kingdom of Bo.
[15:44] ---
    And once you choose your ruler,
    you never betray them.
[15:46] ---
    Stop talking about that!
[15:48] ---
    But then, suddenly,
    after attempting to kill the king,
[15:52] ---
    your entire clan was killed, weren't they?
[15:56] ---
    Hey, out with it, already...
[16:06] ---
    Tch, blended into the shadows, did you?
[16:11] ---
    Be on alert. I doubt he can
    do anything serious, though.
[16:41] ---
    You're on a rampage, huh?
[16:45] ---
    Why, Prince Daida...
[16:47] ---
    "Second Prince Daida"
[16:47] ---
    "Second Prince Daida"
    How is my brother coming along?
    Has he gotten any stronger?
[16:51] ---
    How is my brother coming along?
    Has he gotten any stronger?
[16:52] ---
    Huh?
[16:52] ---
    I'd like to spar with him for a bit.
[16:56] ---
    Well, that would be premature.
[16:59] ---
    Then, Domas, let me spar with you.
[17:02] ---
    Huh? Me?
[17:04] ---
    Yes. I can take you on, can't I?
[17:07] ---
    Oh, well...
[17:09] ---
    I heard he clobbered
    the Order of Bebin's top captain.
[17:14] ---
    He's completely overconfident now.
[17:16] ---
    I'm not inclined to do so, but very well.
[17:22] ---
    I guess I can take him down a peg.
[17:32] ---
    Such intensity...
[17:34] ---
    He's the spitting image of King Bosse!
[17:46] ---
    O-Outstanding!
[17:52] ---
    How do you like this? Come on, come on...!
[18:20] ---
    Your swordsmanship is magnificent.
[18:30] ---
    He will grow even stronger.
    This is the swordsmanship of a king.
[18:35] ---
    I want to teach him my ways.
[18:44] ---
    Prince Bojji?
[18:47] ---
    What's this?
[18:48] ---
    You want to take me on?
[18:55] ---
    For heaven's sake, I followed that guy
    here, and now look at the mess I'm in.
[19:00] ---
    I've gotta get out of
    this freaky place right now...
[19:01] ---
    Hey, did you hear?
[19:03] ---
    Word is that Prince Bojji and
    Prince Daida are fighting each other.
[19:06] ---
    Let's go watch.
[19:07] ---
    Him, in a fight?
[19:12] ---
    Such a commotion. What's going on?
[19:15] ---
    It would appear that Prince Bojji
    and Prince Daida are fighting.
[19:18] ---
    Hmm. A fight between those brothers?
    How preposterous.
[19:29] ---
    Prince Bojji is no match for him.
    What in the world is he thinking?
[19:34] ---
    Hey, which one do you think will win?
[19:36] ---
    What are you talking about? Prince Daida
    took down the top captain, Bohen,
[19:42] ---
    after which Bohen quit the order.
[19:45] ---
    Good point. Still, that one time...
[19:58] ---
    I guess we'll find out
    for sure during this match.
[20:01] ---
    All right, I'm about to start the match.
[20:04] ---
    Are both of you ready?
[20:14] ---
    Domas's pupil and
    your pupil are having a match.
[20:19] ---
    Hmm... Well, we already
    know how this will turn out.
[20:23] ---
    Brother, I'm not going to hold back.
[20:30] ---
    Begin!
[20:42] ---
    I knew it! It wasn't just a fluke!
[20:53] ---
    That thing he did back there...
[20:57] ---
    Damn it!
[21:10] ---
    He hit him!
[21:11] ---
    He dodged him, then hit him!
[21:13] ---
    Hey, he's not bad!
[21:16] ---
    You're not bad, Bojji!
