**[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*

**[02:33] ---**
"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.
