[00:05] ---
    This is the king of the underworld Satun,
    one of the gods who were going extinct.
[00:11] ---
    He had immersed himself
    in researching immortality
[00:14] ---
    and had taken the lives
    of many of his people.
[00:18] ---
    He believed that there
    was a clue to immortality
[00:21] ---
    in the fact that living creatures
    bore children to extend their lives,
[00:25] ---
    and so he took a human wife,
[00:27] ---
    and had three children.
[00:30] ---
    The oldest, Desha, was a superhuman
    who inherited his father's superpowers,
[00:36] ---
    while his second son,
    Despa, inherited just a little bit
[00:39] ---
    and was a powerless human being.
[00:43] ---
    His third son, Ouken,
[00:44] ---
    possessed great physical ability,
[00:47] ---
    but he did not inherit
    the least bit of any superpowers.
[00:52] ---
    In time...
[00:57] ---
    ...the cruel Satun was
    defeated by his three sons,
[01:01] ---
    and peace came to the kingdom.
[01:06] ---
    But then...
[01:19] ---
    ...when Ouken turned 25, the power
    of immortality arose within him.
[01:26] ---
    Brother, I don't want to lose who I am!
[01:31] ---
    Help me! Please help me!
[01:38] ---
    However...
[02:03] ---
    And so Ouken was captured...
[02:09] ---
    ...and became a criminal
    of the underworld.
[02:34] ---
    Right now, there is
    someone choking back tears
[02:44] ---
    Shake off the power that comes from malice
[02:50] ---
    Sure, you can't hear
[02:53] ---
    But right now the hero doesn't need power
[02:59] ---
    Let yourself be
[03:02] ---
    Watch these tiny hands now
[03:08] ---
    Everything I've fallen in love with
[03:13] ---
    And the curse that fell upon me, too
[03:19] ---
    All of the feelings of falling in love
[03:25] ---
    Give me enough light to protect them
[03:31] ---
    Shake off the power that comes from malice
[03:37] ---
    Sure, you can't hear
[03:40] ---
    But right now the hero doesn't need power
[03:46] ---
    Let yourself be
[03:49] ---
    The shadows are closing in,
    asking "What are you?"
[03:53] ---
    "Ranking of Kings"
[03:57] ---
    "Episode 17: The Curse of Immortality"
[04:01] ---
    I won that race by a longshot, huh?
[04:04] ---
    Don't make excuses.
    You still have a lot to learn, Bojji.
[04:11] ---
    Ah! No fair, Bojji!
[04:17] ---
    Whoo!
[04:20] ---
    There's someone collapsed over there!
[04:26] ---
    It's...
[04:28] ---
    ...that guy who saved you before.
[04:34] ---
    He seems to still be alive,
    but what happened to him?
[04:37] ---
    Well, whatever the case,
    let's take him to the old biddy.
[04:48] ---
    Come to me, Ouken.
[05:07] ---
    He broke his bones?!
[05:09] ---
    This is bad!
[05:13] ---
    Oh, no!
[05:14] ---
    Shirasampe!
[05:25] ---
    I can't move!
[05:30] ---
    Ouken...!
[05:36] ---
    Pull harder, Bojji!
[05:42] ---
    Hey, are you okay? What happened?
[05:49] ---
    Moreover, what's going on around here?
[05:52] ---
    There were magic beasts, and criminals
    from the underworld running around free.
[05:55] ---
    Did they get you, too?
[05:59] ---
    Bojji, can this guy not talk, either?
[06:04] ---
    What gives?!
[06:05] ---
    Prince Bojji, you should
    run away from here.
[06:11] ---
    What are you talking about?
[06:15] ---
    Everything is going
    as Lady Miranjo wishes.
[06:20] ---
    She wants Queen Hiling dead, and...
[06:26] ---
    ...the kingdom to fall...
[06:30] ---
    Why does she want that?
[06:33] ---
    Prince Bojji's father, King Bosse...
[06:38] ---
    ...has come back to life,
    using King Daida's body.
[06:42] ---
    Back to life?!
[06:44] ---
    All to achieve Lady Miranjo's dream...
[06:47] ---
    Dream?
[06:49] ---
    She simply wants to remain
    at King Bosse's side...
[06:54] ---
    To be with an untroubled King Bosse
[06:56] ---
    and go off on another
    journey alone with him.
[07:00] ---
    That's why this is happening?
[07:02] ---
    It is something invaluable
    to Lady Miranjo.
[07:07] ---
    Forgive me, Prince Bojji,
[07:10] ---
    but I cannot go against her wishes.
[07:15] ---
    And that's why you're
    trying to kill the old biddy?!
[07:18] ---
    I owe Lady Miranjo a great debt.
[07:21] ---
    Who cares?!
[07:23] ---
    In that case...
[07:28] ---
    ...I'm going to have
    to take you on, Prince Bojji.
[07:46] ---
    Prince Bojji, what in
    the world did you do?
[07:52] ---
    Bojji has changed.
    He's gotten unbelievably stronger.
[07:56] ---
    He's overcome a lot of hardships and
    had Despa of the underworld train him.
[08:00] ---
    Don't underestimate Bojji!
[08:02] ---
    Despa...
[08:04] ---
    Is that right?
[08:07] ---
    I can sense the
    self-confidence in you now.
[08:10] ---
    The power to believe in yourself.
[08:13] ---
    Also,
[08:14] ---
    you encountered someone
    who makes you believe in yourself.
[08:22] ---
    What a wonderful thing.
[08:24] ---
    I also have someone like that.
[08:27] ---
    Go on, now... down
    whatever path you believe in.
[08:34] ---
    Bojji...
[08:41] ---
    Yes, Prince Bojji. You endured
    so much sadness by yourself.
[08:48] ---
    I drew a lot of courage from you.
[08:58] ---
    And now, you have grown much stronger.
[09:03] ---
    Ah, you could be the hope of this kingdom.
[09:14] ---
    Prince Bojji, please...
[09:17] ---
    ...please take them all--including
    Lady Miranjo--and save them...
[09:24] ---
    I...
[09:26] ---
    ...was unable to do a thing...
[09:35] ---
    This way, Queen Hiling.
[09:37] ---
    This is an old guardhouse,
    but it's the perfect place to hide in.
[09:51] ---
    Bojji, let's start by
    beating up those criminals.
[09:55] ---
    And finish it by taking care
    of your daddy and Miranjo!
[09:58] ---
    We'll end this quick and easy!
[10:12] ---
    We don't have time for indecision, Bojji.
[10:15] ---
    Okay!
[10:21] ---
    Ouken?!
[10:23] ---
    Don't tell me the captain
    and his men got wiped out!
[10:33] ---
    This is the gateway to the underworld.
[10:37] ---
    It's the same as that kid...
[10:39] ---
    The shadow clan.
[10:42] ---
    Such a tragic people.
    Exploited again, even in death.
[10:58] ---
    That kid is a survivor
    from that clan, isn't he?
[11:00] ---
    Used, betrayed, and then
    nearly completely destroyed.
[11:04] ---
    Only their bad reputation remains.
    But from what I hear,
[11:09] ---
    they seemed to be a pure-hearted people.
[11:13] ---
    I've got a bad feeling about this.
[11:15] ---
    We've carried out
    our promise to King Bosse.
[11:18] ---
    Let's hurry back to Prince Bojji.
[11:20] ---
    Right.
[11:24] ---
    What do you plan to do with me?
[11:26] ---
    Well, I'm just playing this by ear.
[11:29] ---
    I'm not gonna do anything to you,
[11:31] ---
    but I would like to know
    what you really want.
[11:34] ---
    There's no need for you to know.
[11:36] ---
    As long as you do no harm to me,
    you are free to do as you like.
[11:39] ---
    And if I say I will harm you?
[11:43] ---
    Then I'll kill you.
[11:44] ---
    O-ho-ho, how scary. That man
    who was accompanying you is dead.
[11:49] ---
    What are you gonna do?
    You're powerless to stop me.
[11:55] ---
    You're here.
[11:56] ---
    Huh?
[12:08] ---
    What are you doing?
    Are you siding with her?
[12:15] ---
    Hold up, Bojji.
[12:17] ---
    Something seems off here.
[12:21] ---
    S-Stop! This guy's bad news!
    We don't wanna turn him against us!
[12:26] ---
    Bad news? This guy?
[12:29] ---
    A-Are you controlling him?
[12:31] ---
    Those who have no rationality
    are easy to control. This is my servant.
[12:37] ---
    The mirror is talking.
[12:41] ---
    Shall I prove it by killing you?
[12:43] ---
    What? What for?
[12:46] ---
    Because your crime of killing one of
    my favorite students is a grave one.
[12:50] ---
    Ouken...
[12:53] ---
    What is this?
    Are they turning on each other?
[13:01] ---
    Th-This is awful!
[13:08] ---
    Right.
[13:20] ---
    What do you think you're doing, kid?!
[13:22] ---
    Get in my way and I'll cut you down!
[13:29] ---
    What the...?
[13:31] ---
    You're bad news, too!
[13:34] ---
    Ho...
[13:35] ---
    Hold on! Hold on!
    Look, I give up! I won't fight back.
[13:39] ---
    But the other guy is coming from behind!
[13:43] ---
    For mercy's sake, help me!
[13:54] ---
    What's that?!
[13:58] ---
    How do you like that?!
[14:02] ---
    Huh? That didn't affect you at all?
[14:06] ---
    What's going on here?!
    It's highly poisonous!
[14:09] ---
    That jerk! What a dirty trick!
[14:13] ---
    Human poisons don't work against giants.
[14:17] ---
    Come to think of it, Despa did say
    that Bojji's stomach was built tough.
[14:23] ---
    Bojji really is the greatest!
[14:37] ---
    Damn it!
[14:50] ---
    You got it!
[14:56] ---
    That's my friend, Bojji.
    And I'm Kage. Who are you?
[15:02] ---
    You're one of the shadow clan?
[15:04] ---
    I knew I caught a whiff
    of tragedy from you.
[15:07] ---
    What did you just say?
[15:13] ---
    Ouken!
[15:17] ---
    Kage, you must not let Bojji fight Ouken!
[15:22] ---
    Bojji can never defeat him!
[15:25] ---
    He'll be killed!
[15:34] ---
    What could that mouse be up to?
[15:52] ---
    Bojji! Take Ouken down, too!
[16:26] ---
    Oh, he was throwing things at you?
[16:28] ---
    He's at a superhuman level now.
[16:31] ---
    That's right! He's incredible!
[16:33] ---
    He really is the greatest!
    Nobody can stand against him!
[16:37] ---
    Is that right? Did you draw
    this power out of him?
[16:40] ---
    Huh? No, no. A man named Despa did.
[16:45] ---
    People can do anything if they
    have someone who believes in them
[16:49] ---
    in a pure, unadulterated way.
[16:54] ---
    But there are other times...
[16:56] ---
    ...when it works against them.
[17:09] ---
    Whoo-hoo!
[17:15] ---
    Huh? He's not knocked out!
[17:18] ---
    Bojji! Did you mess up?
[17:22] ---
    Huh?
[17:40] ---
    N-Not again!
[17:46] ---
    What is that? Is he laughing?
[17:49] ---
    It looks like he realized that the boy's
    swordsmanship won't work on him.
[17:52] ---
    Huh? It won't work?
    What's up with that guy?
[17:56] ---
    It's all right. Bojji still has a
    special move. He'll be so surprised!
[18:01] ---
    Get him, Bojji!
[18:04] ---
    But will it work against Ouken?
[18:16] ---
    Got him! That's the fight!
[18:28] ---
    What was that?!
[18:57] ---
    Bojji! H-Hang in there!
[19:02] ---
    He should run away.
[19:04] ---
    Yeah. You're right! Thanks!
[19:07] ---
    Bojji!
[19:08] ---
    Why did I offer that advice?
[19:17] ---
    No more, Bojji!
[19:19] ---
    Run!
[19:23] ---
    Bojji...
[19:25] ---
    He's too confident in himself and
    will get himself killed. What foolishness.
[19:29] ---
    You're wrong! Bojji thinks...
[19:32] ---
    Bojji thinks that if he doesn't stop him,
    everyone else will get killed.
[19:36] ---
    Bojji isn't thinking about himself.
[19:40] ---
    Bojji has always thought about others.
[19:46] ---
    You dumbass!
[20:04] ---
    Bojji! Bojji!
[20:06] ---
    What is it?
[20:08] ---
    Bojji is planning to strike
    at his vital points and kill him!
[20:11] ---
    That won't work.
[20:12] ---
    Ouken is immortal.
[20:14] ---
    Immortal? You mean, he can't die?
[20:17] ---
    There is no way to defeat him.
    You should tell your friend.
[20:21] ---
    Aw, man...
[20:23] ---
    Bojji! Bojji! Bojji! That guy is immortal!
[20:27] ---
    You need to rest up! Get up on top of
    the wall where Ouken can't follow you!
[20:37] ---
    That's it, Bojji!
[20:44] ---
    H-Help me!
[20:50] ---
    Bojji!
[20:56] ---
    Hey! Hey! Isn't there
    some way to beat him?
[21:01] ---
    And also, how do you
    even know that he's immortal?
[21:05] ---
    Who are you?
[21:09] ---
    I am... Miranjo.
[21:15] ---
    You're behind all of this?
[21:18] ---
    
[21:20] ---
    
[21:22] ---
    
[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
[22:12] ---
    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
[22:45] ---
    I'll be singing here for you,
    waiting for you
