[00:09] Kage
    You want to know where we're heading?
     Hmm, I'll tell you where.
[00:14] Kage
    Wherever the wind takes us.
[00:16] Kage
    Wherever the wind takes us!
[00:29] Kage
    Well, everybody's got a look-alike, right?

[00:53] [SONG] Op
    The callous absurdity I've
    carried with me since birth
[00:58] [SONG] Op
    meant playing shadow tag to find my next meal
[01:04] [SONG] Op
    Bit by bit, my heart got bent out of shape
[01:07] [SONG] Op
    until I tuned out both
    the cheers and the jeers
[01:12] [SONG] Op
    That's how I survived my initial loneliness
[01:17] [SONG] Op
    Night falls and the darkness grows
[01:23] [SONG] Op
    blending in, coalescing
[01:28] [SONG] Op
    around so trivial a fate as my own
[01:32] [SONG] Op
    Hey, I want to get through to you
[01:35] [SONG] Op
    though I may only know commonplace words
[01:40] [SONG] Op
    It's so frustrating having to be like this
[01:43] [SONG] Op
    Hey, never mind that it may not be easy
[01:46] [SONG] Op
    to become angry or let yourself cry
[01:52] [SONG] Op
    because someone could be listening in
[01:55] [SONG] Op
    The only thing that's
    certain is the temperature
[02:01] [SONG] Op

SIGN    Return of the Sword King
[02:11] Desha
    Is that it?
[02:12] Judge
    Yes.
[02:16] Desha
    It looks like it's in ruins.
[02:17] Judge
    That's because it is.
[02:50] Judge
    This is the treasure vault.
[02:52] Judge
    Only those who are chosen
    may proceed any farther.
[02:56] Desha
    Wait here.
[02:57] Underworld Knight A
    Yes, sire.
[03:13] Desha
    Hmph. Big deal.
[03:20] Desha
    What are these?
[03:22] Judge
    You have a keen eye indeed.
[03:24] Judge
    All of the past highest-ranked chose those.
[03:28] Judge
    No one yet has been able to read them,
[03:31] Judge
    but they are said to be divine words.
[03:33] Judge
    Supposedly, if you can
    read them, you will learn truth,
[03:36] Judge
    and can have any wish come true.
[03:38] Judge
    Each time the writing appears, it is different.
[03:41] Judge
    What exactly might it be invoking?
[03:44] Judge
    It piques one's curiosity, doesn't it?
[03:47] Desha/I
    If I can decipher this...
[03:50] Desha/I
    I can return Ouken to the way he was.
[04:03] Desha
    Heh.
[04:03] Desha
    Ridiculous. These are cursed.
[04:07] Desha
    They thirst for much blood.
    I'm not interested.
[04:15] Judge/I
    Could he be the one to unravel the
    mystery of the Ranking of Kings?
[04:19] Desha
    Hmph! Is this all you've got?
[04:23] Judge
    Come further inside.
[04:25] Judge
    I am certain, King Desha,
    that your wish will be fulfilled.
[04:37] Desha
    What became of the swords you
    gave to the kings before me?
[04:41] Judge
    They started decaying as soon as they
    came in contact with the outside air.
[04:45] Judge
    So, to prevent that from happening...
[04:48] Desha
    ...they had to constantly
    be bathed in blood, right?
[04:52] Desha
    Why have such a thing?
[04:54] Judge
    To kill multitudes of people, of course.
[04:57] Judge
    We are continuously being manipulated.
[05:16] Desha
    Who's this?
[05:19] Judge
    Who knows? They have been
    here since long ago.
[05:39] Desha
    What is this place?
[05:41] Desha
    Is that a barrier?
[05:43] Judge
    They are cells.
[05:44] Desha
    It's what?
[05:50] Desha
    A demon?
[05:53] Judge
    This way, King Desha.
[06:00] Desha
    Why, you...!
[06:02] Judge
    Granting someone's wish—
[06:04] Judge
    that is the role of these gods.
[06:07] Judge
    Gods have a number of different roles.
[06:09] Judge
    For some, their role is simply
    to die when the time comes.
[06:15] Judge
    Your wish shall be granted.
[06:18] Judge
    This little one will lose
    her girlish form, however.
[06:25] Judge
    Oh, you wish to bow out?
[06:28] Desha
    No, I'm dismissing my men.
[06:35] Despa
    Apparently, Ouken's head is in this lake.
[06:39] Despa
    What should we do now?
[06:41] Captain
    Whoa...
[06:43] Desha
    Despa...
[06:44] Despa
    Brother?
[06:45] Desha
    I'm about to make Ouken human again.
[06:48] Despa
    Huh? How?
[06:50] Desha
    I'm in the treasure vault right now.
[06:52] Despa
    You mean the divine one?
[06:54] Desha
    That's right.
[06:56] Despa/I
    I'd like to see that...
[06:58] Despa/I
    The Divine Treasure Vault!
[07:02] Despa
    Oh, you can't! If you change
    him back now, he'll die!
[07:05] Desha
    What do you mean?
[07:07] Despa
    At the moment, he doesn't have his head.
[07:11] Desha/I
    Is this a sign that I should reconsider?
[07:15] Desha/I
    Is it, Ouken?
[07:20] Despa
    It's all right. We will have
    his head back shortly.
[07:25] Desha
    Very well.
[07:26] Desha
    Hurry.
[07:27] Despa
    Right.
[07:28] Despa
    Captain!
[07:29] Despa
    Let Ouken go on ahead into the lake.
[07:31] Captain
    But sir...
[07:32] Despa
    We just need to get his head back.
[07:34] Despa
    Brother will deal with matters from there.
[07:37] Captain
    All right.
[07:46] Captain
    Just how far down is he—
[07:50] Despa
    What's the matter?
[07:51] Captain
    There's something pulling on him!
[07:53] Despa
    Hurry and pull him back up!
[07:54] Captain
    Right!
[08:01] Despa
    This is bad!
[08:06] Despa
    This is really bad.
[08:09] Captain
    Prince Despa!
[08:23] Despa
    Ouken! Your head!
[08:27] Despa
    Brother, we are ready here!
[08:31] Desha
    Forgive me.
[08:32] Child Demon
    Ishihoga kinotana.
[08:36] Judge
    Are you certain about this?
[08:39] Desha
    Yeah. I'd give anything for this.
[09:06] Captain
    Commander!
[09:26] Captain
    Prince Despa...
[09:28] Despa
    When Ouken became immortal,
[09:30] Despa
    he could consume that which was
    rotten like it was nothing.
[09:34] Despa
    That was because he didn't have
    to worry about getting sick.
[09:37] Despa
    However, for a normal person...
[09:40] Despa
    It's true! He has become human again!
[09:47] Despa
    Ouken!
[09:56] Ouken
    Despa? Captain?
[10:08] Ouken
    I, Ouken, have returned!
[10:11] Despa
    Mm-hmm. Welcome back, Ouken.
[10:14] Captain
    Welcome back, Commander!
[10:17] Ouken
    Captain, is everyone doing well?
[10:19] Captain
    Yes! They're all waiting
    for you to come back!
[10:27] Ouken
    What... evil deeds I've done...
[10:31] Despa
    Ouken,
[10:33] Despa
    the real you hasn't done a single bad thing.
[10:38] Ouken
    Despa...
[10:41] Despa
    But then...
[10:42] Despa
    your work with the sword has
    not been a pretty sight!
[10:45] Despa
    You just rampaged about, and didn't
    do a single thing I taught you!
[10:50] Ouken
    Despa...
[10:53] Despa
    It isn't funny! As your teacher, I have
    completely lost face! If I'm lucky...
[10:58] Captain
    Prince Despa, now isn't the time.
[11:02] Despa
    I'm obviously putting on an act!
[11:06] Despa
    Ouken...
[11:08] Ouken
    Yes?
[11:09] Despa
    It was Brother who saved you.
[11:14] Ouken
    Indeed, Brother is the one
    to become king of the world.
[11:17] Ouken
    He's the one who...
[11:22] Despa/I
    I wonder how that old sourpuss
    will react to this.
[11:25] Despa/I
    Is he going to dance a jig? I can't wait!
[11:31] Despa
    Brother... Brother...
[11:34] Despa
    Brother!
[11:43] Despa
    What is this?
[11:46] Despa
    What's going on here? Brother? Brother!
[11:52] Ouken
    Despa, what's the matter?
[11:54] Despa
    I can't get through. This has
     never happened before.
[11:59] (Flashback) Despa
    Brother, go claim the highest ranking
    and get us lots of treasures.
[12:04] (Flashback) Desha
    Nonsense.
[12:05] (Flashback) Despa
    How so?
[12:07] (Flashback) Desha
    You know what happens to kings who
    become consumed with greed, right?
[12:12] (Flashback) Despa
    Mm-hmm, but I'm sure
    you'll be fine, Brother.
[12:23] Messenger
    I bring news!
[12:24] Messenger
    King Desha has gone missing after
    entering the Divine Treasure Vault!
[12:29] Ouken
    Where is the treasure vault located?
[12:31] Messenger
    P-Prince Ouken!
[12:34] Messenger
    I will take you there.
[12:37] Ouken
    I'm going to go get Brother back.
[12:44] Despa
    Very well. I'll leave you to it.
[12:48] Captain
    Prince Despa, are you sure about this?
[12:51] Despa
    Do you have any idea of the
    hell that man has returned from?
[12:56] Despa
    There is nothing to worry about.
[13:01] Ouken
    Wait here.
[13:03] Underworld Knights
    Yes, sir!
[13:09] Ouken
    I am Desha's younger brother, Ouken.
[13:11] Ouken
    I am here to make sure he is safe.
[13:14] Ouken
    I need you to let me inside.
[13:19] Shadowy Figure 1
    Then what?
[13:21] Judge
    He went away. There was no longer any
    vestige of the king he was left.
[13:25] Shadowy Figure 1
    I see.
[13:28] Shadowy Figure 1
    What is it?
[13:29] Judge
    We have an intruder.
[13:31] Shadowy Figure 2
    Have they been dispatched?
[13:33] Shadowy Figure 2
    Even a god would have his hands
    full with the gatekeepers.
[13:45] Ouken
    Are you trapped inside there?
[13:53] Ouken
    Is that so?
[14:01] Judge
    Is there something I can help you with?
[14:03] Ouken
    Where is my brother?
[14:05] Judge
    If you mean King Desha,
    he has already left.
[14:07] Ouken
    What the hell did you do?!
[14:09] Judge
    We have not done anything.
[14:13] Ouken
    Stand aside.
[14:14] Judge
    What do you intend to do?
[14:16] Ouken
    Stand aside, or I'll cut you down!
[14:20] Shadowy Figure 1
    It's all right. Let him pass.
[14:26] Judge
    This way, please.
[14:32] Judge
    Prince Ouken, we are not your foe.
[14:35] Ouken
    I will be the judge of that.
[14:48] Ouken
    You...
[14:59] Ouken
    I apologize for my treatment
    of the golems outside.
[15:02] Judge
    It's all right. They will return
    to the way they were before long.
[15:14] Ouken
    The Ranking of Kings... Kings...
[15:18] Ouken
    Can it be...
[15:33] (Flashback) Desha
    Listen to me, Ouken.
[15:35] (Flashback) Desha
    If you ever find yourself facing
     a god, run away.
[15:38] (Flashback) Desha
    They are enigmatic, and none
    can stand against them.
[15:43] God A
    Are you the one who did this?
     Impressive work.
[15:51] God A
    I never did like these golems much.
[15:55] God A
    Did you kill those who were inside?
[15:59] God A
    Hmm? Oh, so you didn't?
[16:05] God A
    Well, then, I'll do it.
[16:08] Desha/I
    On the other hand, Ouken...
[16:11] Desha
    if you must confront one of
    them to protect someone,
[16:15] Desha
    there is only one course
    of action to take—
[16:18] Ouken
    Wait.
[16:20] God A
    Wait?
[16:53] God A
    How unsightly all of you are.
[16:58] God A
    You should all die!
[17:07] God A
    It can't be! It can't be! It can't be!
[17:16] Desha/I
    Misrepresent yourself, throw the
    god entirely off his guard,
[17:20] Desha/I
    and make sure to finish him off
    before he really means business.
[17:25] Ouken
    Never let your guard down.
[17:39] Ouken
    That's... Brother's!
[17:45] Ouken
    Brother!
[17:51] Ouken
    Brother...
[18:07] Underworld Knight A
    Commander!
[18:09] Ouken
    Stop me!
[18:10] Underworld Knight A
    Scrumdown!
[18:17] Underworld Knight A
    Commander, that wouldn't be...
[18:19] Ouken
    The price Brother paid to save me...
     was to lose his memories.
[18:25] Underworld Knight B
    That can't be!
[18:26] Underworld Knight C
    Then King Desha is...
[18:28] Ouken
    He must still be around here somewhere!
[18:31] Ouken
    We're taking him home, no matter what!

[18:42] Kage
    Oof. Here we are.
[18:48] Kage
    Bojji! Bojji!
[18:50] Kage
    You can't go around flashing that
    much money in front of others!
[18:55] (Flashback) Domas
    All of them live their lives working
    as hard as they can to make money.
[18:59] (Flashback) Domas
    I ask that you refrain from doing anything
    to make them succumb to temptation.
[19:05] Kage
    As long as you've learned your lesson.
[19:09] Kage
    Mister, sorry to put you out.
[19:12] Coachman
    No trouble at all.
[19:14] Kage
    No, I won't hear of it. Thanks.
[19:17] Kage
    All right, let's go.
[19:32] Kage
    Excuse me! We need a room!
[19:35] Woman A
    Sure!
[19:37] Woman A
    Oh, you're just children!
[19:39] Kage
    We've got money, though. See?
[19:44] Woman A
    Oh, you do? This way, then.
[19:47] Kage
    Hmm? In this case, it's all right.
[19:53] Kage
    Now, then, it's going to worry me as
    long as you're carrying the money,
[19:57] Kage
    so I'll hold on to it.
[20:00] Kage
    Hey, Bojji, you can't go
    trusting people so readily.
[20:06] Kage/I
    Then again, that's one of the
    reasons why I came to like Bojji.
[20:11] Kage/I
    Is it fair for me to tell
    Bojji not to trust others?
[20:14] Kage/I
    On the other hand...
[20:28] Kage/I
    Oh! I guess if I'm always there
    at his side, then it's okay.
[20:31] Kage/I
    Yeah. As long as I'm by his
    side looking out for him...
[20:36] Kage
    Bojji!
[20:48] Kage/I
    You just keep being who you are.
[20:54] Kage/I
    Mm-hmm, that's what's best.
[20:57] Kage
    Bojji!
