[00:01] ---
    You're gonna be
    the greatest king in the world?
[00:06] ---
    There's no way
    you'll ever be a great king!
[00:09] ---
    For one thing, you're deaf,
    and on top of that, you're dumb.
[00:12] ---
    You really are an idiot, huh?
[00:18] ---
    Wh-What? You'll be a great king anyway?
[00:26] ---
    Okay, fine.
[00:27] ---
    Become the king, and make
    the world a fun place to live in.
[00:34] ---
    I'll be waiting patiently for that day.
[00:36] ---
    At first, I thought that Bojji
    was just a stupid sucker.
[00:43] ---
    I figured it was only right
[00:45] ---
    that a rich royal like him
    should help out a poor fellow like me.
[00:50] ---
    But...
[00:52] ---
    Stop!
[00:58] ---
    I watched your match,
    and you looked so cool.
[01:01] ---
    You won that fight. Take pride in it.
[01:05] ---
    No matter what anyone else says,
    I think your style is just fine as it is.
[01:14] ---
    No, I'm not taking anything
    from you anymore.
[01:19] ---
    You may not know how to take this,
    coming out of the blue...
[01:25] ---
    ...but I...
[01:27] ---
    I want to be in your corner from now on,
    no matter what happens.
[01:34] ---
    I mean it, Bojji.
[01:42] ---
    Ow...
[01:46] ---
    Don't try... to mess with me...!
[01:58] ---
    You cut through your own body
    to get away? You've got guts.
[02:04] ---
    Who sent you, and who are you
    here to kill? Answer me now...
[02:11] ---
    The new king is...
[02:14] ---
    ...Prince Daida!
[02:37] ---
    After Bojji had the throne taken
    from him by his brother Daida,
[02:41] ---
    he decided to go on a journey.
[02:44] ---
    I'll bet he was thinking
    that it would be good training
[02:47] ---
    to help him become a great king someday.
[02:51] ---
    And I secretly went along with
    Bojji under instructions from Bebin,
[02:54] ---
    to watch over him.
[03:13] ---
    It's me!
[03:22] ---
    Yeah, that's right. It's me, Kage.
[03:26] ---
    Don't cry, Bojji. We're both
    big boys seeing each other again.
[03:33] ---
    And so, Bojji went to Despa, brother
    of Desha, the king of the underworld,
[03:39] ---
    to begin training to be
    the mightiest man there is.
[04:10] ---
    Whoa, whoa...
[04:11] ---
    Wh-Why are so many of you here?!
[04:15] ---
    Prince Bojji, please hop on.
[04:20] ---
    We were told that there was an
    imminent emergency in Bojji's country.
[04:28] ---
    We set out for home, along with the
    captain of the Order of the Underworld.
[04:40] ---
    Right now, there is
    someone choking back tears
[04:50] ---
    Shake off the power that comes from malice
[04:56] ---
    Sure, you can't hear
[04:59] ---
    But right now the hero doesn't need power
[05:05] ---
    Let yourself be
[05:08] ---
    Watch these tiny hands now
[05:14] ---
    Everything I've fallen in love with
[05:19] ---
    And the curse that fell upon me, too
[05:25] ---
    All of the feelings of falling in love
[05:31] ---
    Give me enough light to protect them
[05:37] ---
    Shake off the power that comes from malice
[05:43] ---
    Sure, you can't hear
[05:46] ---
    But right now the hero doesn't need power
[05:52] ---
    Let yourself be
[05:55] ---
    The shadows are closing in,
    asking "What are you?"
[06:00] ---
    "Ranking of Kings"
[06:03] ---
    "Episode 12: The Footsteps of War"
[06:06] ---
    "Episode 12: The Footsteps of War"
    There it is--the castle.
[06:10] ---
    Please do not worry.
    Your elite forces are gathered.
[06:14] ---
    Daida...
[06:24] ---
    Get up, Hokuro! There's no time to rest!
[06:29] ---
    Why did these criminals
    go to Bojji's country?
[06:33] ---
    Mm-hmm, that is the question.
[06:36] ---
    There is someone
    directing these criminals.
[06:38] ---
    Huh? Directing them?
[06:40] ---
    Their objective might be
    to overthrow the kingdom
[06:44] ---
    or perhaps to take control of the kingdom.
[06:47] ---
    It could conceivably be a lot of things.
[06:51] ---
    Oh, right. I've got to let you in
    on the situation, too, Bojji.
[06:56] ---
    According to the captain,
[06:57] ---
    there's someone who brought the criminals
    from the underworld into your country.
[07:09] ---
    Uh, Miranjo,
[07:10] ---
    "Bandit Leader, Zokku"
[07:11] ---
    "Bandit Leader, Zokku"
    what was your reason
    for letting us out of there?
[07:16] ---
    No reason.
[07:18] ---
    You are free to do as you like.
[07:22] ---
    Whatever your heart desires.
[07:24] ---
    Whether that's attacking the town or
    taking over the country, it's up to you.
[07:32] ---
    I don't get it.
[07:34] ---
    People are motivated by gain.
    This is your land, right?
[07:38] ---
    What do you gain by doing this?
[07:40] ---
    Gain, you say?
[07:43] ---
    Don't you worry,
    my gains are coming later.
[07:47] ---
    Coming later?
[07:51] ---
    The way out is over here. Follow me.
[08:03] ---
    There are some real heavy hitters here.
[08:05] ---
    "Monster of Steel, Gigan"
[08:09] ---
    
    Especially him. His strength
    is immeasurable. However,
[08:10] ---
    "Fallen Royalty, Kingbo"
    Especially him. His strength
    is immeasurable. However,
[08:15] ---
    
    I'm not sensing any strength
    or force of any kind from those two.
[08:17] ---
    "Sword King of the Underworld, Ouken"
    I'm not sensing any strength
    or force of any kind from those two.
[08:20] ---
    "The Brunet Assassin, Black"
    So creepy. I don't like
    anything I don't know.
[08:25] ---
    "The Copperhead Assassin, Red"
    So creepy. I don't like
    anything I don't know.
[08:26] ---
    "The Copperhead Assassin, Red"
[08:39] ---
    Hmph, this is what true freedom is.
[08:44] ---
    Oh...!
[08:47] ---
    A diamond!
[08:48] ---
    Incredible!
[08:50] ---
    This is...
[09:05] ---
    Apeas, it is no matter.
[09:07] ---
    No one is able to hurt me.
[09:14] ---
    Interesting.
[09:21] ---
    Hey, these are puppets!
[09:30] ---
    No, no! No!
[09:31] ---
    Huh?
[09:33] ---
    Hey, you guys, stop it!
[09:37] ---
    Come on, guys! If we have
    a falling out with Miranjo,
[09:39] ---
    and supposing, just supposing now,
[09:42] ---
    we're stuck in here, then what?
[10:00] ---
    That's nothing I want any part of.
[10:02] ---
    I'm asking you to lower your swords.
[10:08] ---
    Sorry, but could you lower
    that spear of yours, as well? Please?
[10:14] ---
    Apeas, do as he says.
[10:20] ---
    Oh, thank you!
[10:30] ---
    Sorry for us being such idiots. We tend
    to strike first and ask questions later.
[10:38] ---
    It's all right. That is how you should be.
[10:42] ---
    Let's go, Apeas.
[10:47] ---
    Those guys are trying to take
    over your country right now.
[10:52] ---
    That's what's going on.
[10:56] ---
    Don't be too worried about that.
    Prince Despa is with us, as well.
[11:00] ---
    Despa is?!
[11:01] ---
    Hey! Hey, Bojji!
    He says Despa is coming, too!
[11:07] ---
    Huh? Then why didn't he come with us?
[11:11] ---
    Oh, um... To tell you the truth...
[11:14] ---
    before I came to pick you up,
    I went to confer with Prince Despa.
[11:20] ---
    I see. Is that what Brother said?
[11:24] ---
    Not to mention Ouken...
[11:28] ---
    Very well. I will be coming.
[11:31] ---
    Ah, thank you.
[11:33] ---
    Ah, that reminds me,
[11:35] ---
    how is my beloved steed, Whiteking?
[11:38] ---
    Huh?!
[11:39] ---
    What's the matter? When I stepped
    down from service in the castle
[11:42] ---
    and returned her to the kingdom,
    she was a fine horse.
[11:44] ---
    Well, you see...
[11:46] ---
    Hers was such a dazzlingly
    brilliant white figure.
[11:50] ---
    --My beloved mount, as swift as the wind.
    --Whiteking...!
[11:55] ---
    Oh, what fond memories! Ah, Whiteking...
[12:07] ---
    Is that... Whiteking?
[12:11] ---
    What happened to her?!
[12:13] ---
    Well, the truth is,
[12:15] ---
    Whiteking has always been volatile
[12:18] ---
    and would not let anyone
    but you approach her.
[12:21] ---
    When we left her to her own devices,
    she quickly put on weight.
[12:37] ---
    --Whoa! Whoa!
    --Whoa! Whoa!
[12:39] ---
    --Whoa!
    --Whoa!
[12:52] ---
    For whatever reason, he decided
    to depart on his beloved steed.
[12:57] ---
    But as you might expect,
    they can't keep up and will be late.
[13:01] ---
    Hey, come on, man!
[13:03] ---
    Are you sure about this?!
    Despa is going to slow us down completely!
[13:08] ---
    No...
[13:10] ---
    I assure you, we are going to need
    Prince Despa's quick-wittedness.
[13:14] ---
    Quick-wittedness?
[13:34] ---
    Is her motivation simple resentment?
[13:37] ---
    Directed at the country?
    Or toward some person?
[13:42] ---
    If so, there is no wrong angle for us.
    We can do anything we want.
[14:00] ---
    This is all it takes
    to be king of this country?!
[14:05] ---
    Lock him in the dungeon or whatever.
[14:11] ---
    The king being stuck
    in the dungeon is hilarious!
[14:30] ---
    This is my throne!
[14:50] ---
    Heh, not bad.
[14:56] ---
    I am the king!
[15:06] ---
    This should be good. I doubt
    that he can beat Kingbo, though.
[15:13] ---
    But if he wears him down a little,
    I can finish him off.
[15:30] ---
    What?! What?!
[15:45] ---
    What the hell?!
[15:46] ---
    Fools.
[15:50] ---
    Apeas, to the castle gate.
[15:53] ---
    You should come, as well.
[15:59] ---
    You, too.
[16:06] ---
    Where are you all going?
[16:26] ---
    He froze him in place?!
[16:28] ---
    What is that? Magic?
[16:51] ---
    Now he's watching him suffer.
[16:54] ---
    Heh, what a sicko.
[17:06] ---
    Kill me...
[17:22] ---
    D-Damn you...
[17:28] ---
    He's been hiding what he's capable of.
[17:47] ---
    Me, the king, huh? I'm deeply moved.
[18:01] ---
    Kingbo, you will follow in my footsteps.
[18:07] ---
    Gain a compassionate heart,
    and become stronger, my son.
[18:39] ---
    Oh, this is hard to watch!
[18:55] ---
    Ah, he died.
[19:02] ---
    Tch. Well, ups-a-daisy.
[19:10] ---
    Hngh!
[19:18] ---
    Master Domas, it looks as though what
    King Bosse mentioned is happening.
[19:23] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[19:25] ---
    Hold on a moment. Unfortunately,
    Hokuro, you still aren't strong enough.
[19:30] ---
    Huh? You can't mean that.
[19:32] ---
    But there is something you can do for me.
[19:36] ---
    I'm giving this to you.
[19:38] ---
    A crossbow? This is a pretty big one, too.
[19:42] ---
    You've put on a good deal
    of muscle while training with me.
[19:46] ---
    I want you to cover me with that.
[19:48] ---
    Master Domas... You really
    have been thinking about me.
[19:53] ---
    Of course I have! I didn't have enough
    time to teach you any skills, though.
[19:57] ---
    Right!
[19:59] ---
    Let's go and destroy
    the opening to the underworld.
[20:02] ---
    Right!
[20:21] ---
    There you are.
[20:24] ---
    Apeas!
[20:25] ---
    Are you the one behind all this?!
[20:27] ---
    No. I am...
[20:28] ---
    Dorshe, it's me.
    I, Miranjo, am leading this.
[20:35] ---
    Lady Miranjo?
[20:36] ---
    It can't be.
[20:38] ---
    I was certain you died during the war.
    But what are you doing in there?
[20:43] ---
    Miranjo? Where have
    I seen that mirror before?
[20:48] ---
    What exactly are you
    thinking by doing this?
[20:53] ---
    I want to bring this country to ruin.
[21:07] ---
    Bury him.
[21:25] ---
    Today tried to stay ahead,
    to not be swept away
[21:32] ---
    But it got absorbed by yesterday
[21:36] ---
    Today put its feelings off
    until later with a sigh,
[21:43] ---
    but as always you leaped in with a smile
[21:48] ---
    So I pushed back the deadline
    I'd decided was final
[21:53] ---
    If the view changes after one more step...
[21:58] ---
    If something changes...
[22:01] ---
    Be the first to shine,
    even when others laugh,
[22:08] ---
    because I will be holding your hand
[22:13] ---
    It can't be just someone, it must be you
[22:19] ---
    Only you can wipe those tears
[22:24] ---
    Shine on toward a yet-unseen tomorrow
[22:34] ---
    I'll be singing for you, waiting for you
[22:46] ---
    I'll be singing here for you,
    waiting for you
