[00:03] ---
    Hey! Let's hurry up and get going!
[00:15] ---
    Sorry to keep you.
[00:17] ---
    Now, to go out and celebrate
    the completion of Bojji's training.
[00:21] ---
    Let's eat lots of delicious food!
[00:24] ---
    Yeah!
[00:26] ---
    B-Bojji, that's... a sword, isn't it?
[00:33] ---
    But that's a pretty big one.
    Can you really wield it?
[00:39] ---
    Whoa, that's awesome!
[00:53] ---
    Huh?
[00:54] ---
    Huh? Huh?
[00:58] ---
    Huh?!
[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 10: The Prince's Sword"
[02:33] ---
    "Episode 10: The Prince's Sword"
    Wh-What is that
    needly-looking thing?!
[02:35] ---
    "Episode 10: The Prince's Sword"
    Y-You fake!
[02:37] ---
    How can you even lie about that
[02:38] ---
    and try to tell us that you made
    him stronger?! You're the worst!
[02:42] ---
    What are you going on about?
    This isn't deception nor is it lying.
[02:47] ---
    This is what's called "bluffing."
[02:50] ---
    B-Bluffing?!
[02:52] ---
    It's the same thing!
[03:03] ---
    Bojji,
[03:04] ---
    people are going to look down on you
    thousands and thousands of times.
[03:09] ---
    Are you going to doubt yourself and
    look down at the ground each time?
[03:15] ---
    No, no, no! You may say those feel-good
    things, but reality is different!
[03:20] ---
    Kage, you can rest easy.
    Bojji's skills are tried and true.
[03:28] ---
    Besides,
[03:30] ---
    what good will it do for you to doubt him?
[03:35] ---
    You're right. What was I thinking?
[03:39] ---
    Bojji, I'm sorry I doubted you.
[03:45] ---
    Still...
[03:49] ---
    what exactly did I see back there?
[04:01] ---
    Thanks.
[04:02] ---
    Thank you.
[04:04] ---
    I have to know,
[04:05] ---
    can he actually fight with
    that needle-like sword?
[04:09] ---
    You need not worry.
[04:10] ---
    If my theory is correct,
    Bojji is invincible.
[04:14] ---
    Theory, eh?
[04:16] ---
    Invincible, eh?
[04:19] ---
    All right, here's to Bojji
    fully mastering the Despa arts!
[04:27] ---
    Cheers!
    Cheers!
[04:30] ---
    Despa arts?
[04:32] ---
    What's that?
[04:35] ---
    Ah, hey!
[04:37] ---
    You're the ones who picked
    a fight with me before.
[04:45] ---
    I'm the oldest brother, Aban!
[04:46] ---
    I'm the middle brother, Layne!
[04:48] ---
    I'm the youngest brother, Boan!
[04:51] ---
    It's the wild and rowdy Aban Brothers!
[04:56] ---
    Who do we have here?
[04:58] ---
    This is my swordsmanship apprentice.
[05:01] ---
    Swordsmanship?
[05:02] ---
    Apprentice?
[05:04] ---
    This little pipsqueak?
[05:07] ---
    P-Pipsqueak, you say?!
[05:10] ---
    What's the matter? You angry?
[05:13] ---
    Now, now, just let it slide.
[05:16] ---
    Despa is being surprisingly cool-headed.
[05:20] ---
    And so is Bojji. Not engaging them
    is the grown-up response, I guess.
[05:26] ---
    All right, then, neither will I.
[05:30] ---
    Having a worthless apprentice like this...
[05:33] ---
    is absolutely fitting
    for a camel-face like you.
[05:47] ---
    Huh?! Despa?!
[05:50] ---
    You can insult my apprentice,
    but I won't let you insult me!
[05:54] ---
    You've got it backwards!
[05:56] ---
    N-Now you've gone and done it.
[05:58] ---
    Bring it on!
[06:11] ---
    Whoa, he's so weak!
[06:15] ---
    Now to finish you!
[06:24] ---
    Bojji!
[06:28] ---
    Whoa... Bojji, you're
    surprisingly tough, huh?
[06:36] ---
    What's this?
[06:38] ---
    You wanna take me on, do you?
[06:41] ---
    Bojji, not barehanded! Use your sword!
[06:43] ---
    No, he does not even need his sword here.
[06:47] ---
    Huh?
    Bojji will be able
    to defeat him barehanded.
[06:50] ---
    Despa, did you hit your head?!
[06:52] ---
    Just watch him.
[06:55] ---
    You impudent little pipsqueak!
[07:05] ---
    Huh?
[07:07] ---
    What was that?
[07:09] ---
    No, that punch didn't do anything!
[07:13] ---
    Huh? He's laughing.
[07:16] ---
    He's laughing over Bojji's punch.
[07:28] ---
    Brother!
    Brother!
[07:29] ---
    S-Stay back!
[07:31] ---
    What the hell did you do?!
[07:35] ---
    Huh? What?
[07:37] ---
    We all have different weaknesses.
[07:40] ---
    Why, you...!
    You little...!
[07:51] ---
    The jaw, you see, is the most
    effective spot for jolting one's head,
[07:54] ---
    and delivering a concussion.
[07:56] ---
    A concussion?
[07:58] ---
    He uses the power of
    his opponent coming at him
[08:00] ---
    to make up for his lack of power,
[08:02] ---
    allowing him to score a
    precise hit on their weak spot.
[08:06] ---
    This is the magnificence of Bojji.
[08:09] ---
    Despa!
[08:11] ---
    I'm sorry I doubted you!
    I'll never doubt you again!
[08:16] ---
    Uh-huh.
[08:17] ---
    You jerk, you've done
    something strange to us!
[08:21] ---
    Just a moment!
[08:24] ---
    If you're going to take up a weapon,
[08:27] ---
    is it fair to say that you're
    prepared to give up your life?!
[08:31] ---
    What?
[08:36] ---
    Bojji!
[08:39] ---
    Draw!
[08:48] ---
    You little bastard!
[09:04] ---
    Brother!
    Brother!
[09:09] ---
    H-He killed him!
[09:19] ---
    Nicely done. He's out cold.
[09:26] ---
    Out cold?
[09:28] ---
    You two, take him away.
[09:34] ---
    Despa, what exactly did Bojji do?
[09:37] ---
    Mm-hmm, allow me to explain.
[09:41] ---
    Ow!
[09:42] ---
    Huh? What are you doing?
[09:45] ---
    Ah... this is because there is a pain
    receptor, a point that feels pain, there.
[09:50] ---
    Pain receptor?
[09:51] ---
    Now then,
[09:52] ---
    how about here?!
[09:58] ---
    D-D-Despa?!
[10:01] ---
    I'm fine.
[10:02] ---
    Huh?
[10:04] ---
    If you don't hit a pain receptor,
    you don't feel any pain.
[10:07] ---
    You can also avoid any blood vessels.
[10:10] ---
    Eww, that's disgusting.
[10:13] ---
    Living creatures are
    wondrous things, you see.
[10:16] ---
    Bojji uses that wondrousness
    to knock his opponent out.
[10:21] ---
    To knock someone out,
    you must stop their brain momentarily.
[10:26] ---
    To stop their brain momentarily,
    you can stop the flow of blood to it.
[10:31] ---
    Bojji uses his needle-sword
    to avoid any vital organs
[10:34] ---
    while delivering direct
    stimulation to the nerves,
[10:37] ---
    dilating the blood vessels. As a result,
[10:40] ---
    the heart can no longer push
    the blood up into the brain,
[10:43] ---
    resulting in them falling unconscious.
[10:46] ---
    Put simply, Bojji can defeat an opponent
[10:50] ---
    while leaving them completely unharmed.
[10:52] ---
    Oh, th-that's awesome!
[10:55] ---
    That's awesome, Bojji!
    That's your sword style, all right!
[11:00] ---
    And, by the same token...
[11:01] ---
    Bojji can easily take the life
    of his opponent at any time.
[11:09] ---
    Whoa, Bojji...
[11:11] ---
    you have gotten stronger, huh?
    Good for you, huh?
[11:16] ---
    Has he? Kage, what kind of
    strength were you really seeking?
[11:21] ---
    Huh?
    The strength you sought was
    a great power to protect others.
[11:27] ---
    A king's swordsmanship,
    to save the weak and shame the mighty.
[11:31] ---
    Is that not the kind of strength
    you were looking for?
[11:34] ---
    Y-Yes, yes, it was.
    But people's hearts are weak, so...
[11:40] ---
    Don't worry.
[11:42] ---
    Bojji is sure to be fine. The first thing
    I taught him was mental fortitude.
[11:47] ---
    Bojji, what are the rules
    for one who carries a sword?
[11:50] ---
    Number one!
[11:54] ---
    Number two!
[11:57] ---
    Number three!
[12:01] ---
    Mm-hmm! Make sure
    that you never forget them!
[12:07] ---
    Fantastic! Fantastic, Bojji!
[12:10] ---
    Wah, Despa!
[12:12] ---
    What'd he say?
[12:13] ---
    Beats me.
[12:15] ---
    More than anything, Bojji possessed
    a righteous heart from the start.
[12:19] ---
    Th-That's right! Bojji, you're great!
[12:25] ---
    By bearing these rules firmly in mind,
[12:28] ---
    your skills will continue to increase,
[12:30] ---
    and you will grow stronger
    in both body and mind.
[12:33] ---
    Also, your life will shine bright,
    and you will enjoy yourself.
[12:39] ---
    Very well.
[12:40] ---
    Thank you very much!
[12:43] ---
    Okay then, let's eat.
[12:49] ---
    Ah, I'm full!
[12:54] ---
    I just remembered something I need to do.
    You two go ahead without me.
[12:59] ---
    Hmm? Okay.
[13:30] ---
    Attention!
[13:33] ---
    No, no, come on now, take it easy.
[13:36] ---
    At ease.
[13:38] ---
    I know it was an act, but I'm sorry
    we hit you in the face twice.
[13:42] ---
    Not at all. I asked you to do so,
[13:45] ---
    and as a result,
    I got to see Bojji in an actual fight.
[13:50] ---
    For your trouble.
[13:52] ---
    I cannot accept!
[13:54] ---
    Oh no?
[13:57] ---
    Prince Despa...
[13:59] ---
    I was more powerless
    than I thought I would be.
[14:02] ---
    Hmm.
[14:03] ---
    The moment he picked up that sword,
[14:05] ---
    I knew right away
    that I could not win the fight.
[14:09] ---
    When we get back,
    you've got training to do.
[14:11] ---
    Huh?!
[14:12] ---
    Please overlook this, Captain!
[14:17] ---
    Still, Bojji's true power
    is even greater than this.
[14:21] ---
    What?
[14:22] ---
    He has acquired an
    even more amazing skill.
[14:27] ---
    Although he isn't likely
    to show it off very much.
[14:35] ---
    Bojji, come to think of it,
[14:38] ---
    you learned from Despa how
    to strike an opponent's weak spot,
[14:42] ---
    but how in the world
    did you ever get to be that fast?
[14:51] ---
    Huh? Mitsumata? That giant serpent?
[15:14] ---
    Prince Bojji, well done.
[15:17] ---
    However, you still have a long way to go.
[15:21] ---
    You still rely on your eyes.
[15:23] ---
    Sharpen your other senses.
[15:27] ---
    Then, you must become able...
[15:30] ---
    to sense the presence of things through
    the movement of air on your skin
[15:33] ---
    and then dodge them.
[15:40] ---
    What's happening at the castle?
[15:42] ---
    Queen Hiling was attacked
    by monsters from the underworld,
[15:46] ---
    but Master Dorshe
    risked his life to protect her.
[15:49] ---
    Afterward, the mirror appears
    to have headed into the underworld.
[15:54] ---
    King Bosse has taken no action.
[15:56] ---
    Master Apeas is guarding
    the gateway to the underworld.
[16:04] ---
    I can't do this alone.
[16:07] ---
    We are here, are we not?
[16:11] ---
    I am the Snake Handler.
    I love you guys so much, I can't stand it.
[16:15] ---
    Please don't fight for me.
[16:19] ---
    Master Bebin,
    we would do anything for you.
[16:23] ---
    Where is Prince Bojji?
[16:25] ---
    Oh, I heard that he
    has finished his training,
[16:27] ---
    and has grown a great deal stronger.
[16:31] ---
    Prince Despa does good work, doesn't he?
[16:33] ---
    Yes, truly.
[16:38] ---
    I see. Prince Bojji...
[16:47] ---
    Master Bebin...
[16:50] ---
    I know that you
    are indebted to Prince Bojji,
[16:54] ---
    but I believe that Prince Daida
    is more fit to be the king.
[16:58] ---
    Your training of Prince Bojji
[17:01] ---
    and teaching him how to read lips
    has not been very well received.
[17:07] ---
    Indeed, Prince Bojji may
    not rise to the caliber of a king.
[17:12] ---
    However, as the boy grows, I am
    certain that he will save many people.
[17:18] ---
    I count Prince Daida
    as no exception, either.
[17:22] ---
    Prince Bojji will save Prince Daida?
[17:26] ---
    Is that a prophecy,
    or just your wild instinct?
[17:30] ---
    I don't know.
[17:32] ---
    I just have a strong feeling.
[17:40] ---
    The king's triumphal return, huh?
    It may end up coming to that.
[17:49] ---
    If Mitsumata is the one who trained you,
    then Bebin probably knows about it, too.
[17:58] ---
    Bojji, as it happens,
    Bebin told me something.
[18:01] ---
    Apparently, your kingdom is embroiled
    in a huge conspiracy right now.
[18:07] ---
    No, I don't know
    what's gonna happen, but...
[18:12] ---
    he told me "Make sure
    to keep Prince Bojji safe."
[18:15] ---
    But don't get the wrong idea.
[18:18] ---
    My loyalty is to King Daida,
    first and foremost.
[18:21] ---
    I have no intention of
    making Prince Bojji the king.
[18:26] ---
    You'll understand later
    why I'm helping him.
[18:31] ---
    Bojji, what do we do now?
[18:34] ---
    Go back to your kingdom?
[19:05] ---
    Bojji, you aren't, by any chance,
    suspecting that old biddy, are you?
[19:32] ---
    Kage...
[19:40] ---
    Bojji, you have no courage!
[19:49] ---
    The courage to believe in others.
[20:23] ---
    Hey...
[20:25] ---
    Hey... Bojji!
[20:44] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[20:54] ---
    Okay.
[20:55] ---
    Let's go home, Bojji.
