[00:07] ---
    King Bosse...
[00:10] ---
    ...who is in the mirror?
    Also, what are your real intentions?
[00:15] ---
    Why do you ask?
[00:17] ---
    I want to get King Daida back.
[00:21] ---
    And you're telling that to me?
[00:26] ---
    I've seen the darkness
    in the hearts of many people.
[00:30] ---
    And I've tried to see through
    to what's deep inside.
[00:35] ---
    Everyone who has stood by me...
[00:39] ---
    ...has been a kindhearted person.
[00:44] ---
    Especially you.
[00:48] ---
    The mirror's name is Miranjo--
[00:50] ---
    the person I hold most dear.
[01:01] ---
    Right now, there is
    someone choking back tears
[01:11] ---
    Shake off the power that comes from malice
[01:17] ---
    Sure, you can't hear
[01:20] ---
    But right now the hero doesn't need power
[01:26] ---
    Let yourself be
[01:29] ---
    Watch these tiny hands now
[01:35] ---
    Everything I've fallen in love with
[01:40] ---
    And the curse that fell upon me, too
[01:46] ---
    All of the feelings of falling in love
[01:52] ---
    Give me enough light to protect them
[01:58] ---
    Shake off the power that comes from malice
[02:04] ---
    Sure, you can't hear
[02:07] ---
    But right now the hero doesn't need power
[02:13] ---
    Let yourself be
[02:16] ---
    The shadows are closing in,
    asking "What are you?"
[02:20] ---
    "Ranking of Kings"
[02:24] ---
    "Episode 18: Battle with the Gods"
[02:39] ---
    Poison?
[02:40] ---
    Dorshe...? They took
    Lady Miranjo away from me...
[02:45] ---
    Are you still going on about that?!
[02:49] ---
    I just wanted to relieve
    her of her suffering...
[02:55] ---
    ...but...
[02:59] ---
    I'm such a fool...
    Everything turned out wrong!
[03:06] ---
    You have to save her, please! I beg you!
[03:10] ---
    Apeas...
[03:20] ---
    Antidote!
[03:22] ---
    And... power!
[03:34] ---
    Such warmth...
[03:45] ---
    Ugh, that's all I've got. I've used up
    all of my potions and power.
[03:52] ---
    You go and save her.
[03:54] ---
    Why...? Queen Hiling,
    I may betray you again!
[03:59] ---
    Apeas, you rotten...!
[04:01] ---
    I don't understand it, myself.
    I don't understand any of you anymore!
[04:09] ---
    Your expression is full of confidence.
    Why is that?
[04:16] ---
    Because that boy...
[04:19] ---
    Because Bojji will surely save us all.
[04:26] ---
    That hope I felt back then--
[04:31] ---
    I can sense it coming from him.
[04:41] ---
    I see.
[04:48] ---
    Domas!
[04:51] ---
    Queen Hiling! I am terribly sorry!
[04:55] ---
    But now, I am prepared
    to offer my life to Prince Bojji!
[04:59] ---
    Me, too! This time,
    I will protect Prince Bojji at any cost!
[05:10] ---
    I forgive you!
[05:12] ---
    Now work as hard as you can.
[05:14] ---
    --Yes, madam!
    --Yes, madam!
[05:16] ---
    So, you went underground, right?
    Did you run into Bojji?
[05:20] ---
    Y-Yes, madam. Prince Bojji ran
    into the Order of the Underworld,
[05:23] ---
    led by King Desha, and saved us--
[05:25] ---
    no, he saved the whole kingdom!
[05:28] ---
    He did what?!
[05:29] ---
    King Desha? Who's that?
[05:32] ---
    The king of the underworld,
    second in the Ranking of Kings!
[05:35] ---
    Oh, him? And he...?
[05:39] ---
    Yes, madam! He did
    the most incredible thing!
[05:42] ---
    He did?! So, where is Bojji now?
[05:46] ---
    Yes, where is he?
[05:47] ---
    --Huh?
    --Huh?
[05:49] ---
    Prince Bojji headed off in that direction.
[05:52] ---
    Ah! Queen Hiling, excuse us,
    but we must be going.
[05:56] ---
    Hokuro!
[05:57] ---
    Right!
[06:03] ---
    I'm going with them.
[06:06] ---
    Apeas...
[06:09] ---
    Good luck.
[06:12] ---
    Yes, Madam!
[06:14] ---
    Dorshe, you go with them, too.
[06:17] ---
    Huh? But...
[06:19] ---
    I'll just slow everyone
    down at this point.
[06:21] ---
    You can work better
    if I'm not around, right?
[06:25] ---
    Hiling will be fine.
    We'll be here with her.
[06:30] ---
    Very well.
[06:42] ---
    Miranjo...
[06:43] ---
    ...is a child, a mother,
    and a teacher to me.
[06:50] ---
    When I was younger, I traveled
    around to train as a warrior.
[06:54] ---
    One day, I visited the magical land
    of the Houma Kingdom
[06:58] ---
    so that I could fight some mages.
[07:08] ---
    What are these?
    Are they Father's memories?
[07:13] ---
    Is he showing them to me?
[07:20] ---
    In the Houma Kingdom, people could
    learn to use magic only gods could use,
[07:25] ---
    and they were the first nation
    to defy the gods.
[07:28] ---
    At the time, the gods ruled one country
    after another, enslaving them.
[07:35] ---
    The people of Houma were the first
    to realize what was happening
[07:38] ---
    and stood up to them.
[07:41] ---
    But from what I've been told,
    the Houma Kingdom used their magic
[07:46] ---
    to commit every kind of atrocity there is.
[07:53] ---
    It was in that land that I first met...
[07:55] ---
    ...Miranjo.
[08:09] ---
    Miranjo's father
[08:11] ---
    was an outstanding wizard.
[08:14] ---
    We were both fighting
    each other to the death...
[08:20] ---
    ...when I ended up killing him.
[08:30] ---
    I had been wounded badly,
    and Miranjo's mother saved me.
[08:36] ---
    Why?
[08:42] ---
    She was so kind. All of the
    people in her land were nice,
[08:48] ---
    but she was so good-natured,
    it was alarming.
[08:52] ---
    I stayed in the Houma Kingdom
    to watch Miranjo grow up.
[08:58] ---
    She was brilliant and skilled in magic,
[09:00] ---
    yet still kind-hearted,
    just like her mother.
[09:05] ---
    Miranjo...
[09:07] ---
    ...be sure to build your own happiness
    on the happiness of others.
[09:11] ---
    Okay!
[09:14] ---
    The fighting with the gods intensified,
[09:17] ---
    and I fought alongside them.
[09:21] ---
    The Houma Kingdom
    had a series of victories,
[09:25] ---
    but if they lost even once,
    they would fall for good.
[09:32] ---
    The power of the gods was just that great.
[09:37] ---
    As things progressed, the Houma Kingdom
[09:39] ---
    decided to join forces
    with the Gyakuza Kingdom.
[09:44] ---
    The Gyakuza Kingdom?
[09:45] ---
    The people of Houma believed that their
    two sides could come to an understanding.
[09:50] ---
    But different countries
    have different cultures.
[09:54] ---
    Gyakuza was the complete
    opposite of Houma.
[09:56] ---
    The opposite?
[09:57] ---
    Yeah.
[09:59] ---
    Miranjo's mother never
    realized that until the very end.
[10:12] ---
    This is the Gyakuza Kingdom.
[10:18] ---
    The people of this land
    had always been ruled by outsiders
[10:21] ---
    and had everything taken from them.
[10:24] ---
    They survived by deceiving others
    to protect their own interests.
[10:29] ---
    It was their means of survival,
    and they felt justified.
[10:36] ---
    It was their customs that defined
    the Gyakuzans' humanity.
[10:41] ---
    The Houma Kingdom used all of their
    wisdom to reform the Gyakuza Kingdom.
[10:47] ---
    They taught them magic,
    and Gyakuza benefitted greatly.
[10:52] ---
    But the Gyakuzans felt that kindness
    and consideration were weaknesses,
[10:57] ---
    and they looked down on
    those who embraced them.
[11:04] ---
    Money for medicine?
[11:11] ---
    Take care of yourself.
[11:12] ---
    They took advantage of
    Miranjo's mother's kindness.
[11:19] ---
    Even knowing so, she was sure that
    she could get through to their hearts.
[11:27] ---
    Gyakuza became prosperous.
    However, they would never help Houma.
[11:37] ---
    If things didn't go their way,
    they abandoned their friends
[11:39] ---
    and ran away, every man for himself,
[11:41] ---
    and when they did have the advantage,
    they committed all manner of cruelty.
[11:48] ---
    Then those acts were pinned on Houma,
    and they were saddled with the blame.
[11:54] ---
    Gradually, Houma grew exhausted,
    and the gods' power increased.
[12:01] ---
    And then...
[12:04] ---
    Doctor? Doctor?
[12:10] ---
    Oh, is something the matter?
[12:19] ---
    Huh...?
[12:29] ---
    Where's your money?
[12:35] ---
    Miranjo...
[12:36] ---
    Run away, Miranjo!
[12:39] ---
    Miranjo!!
[12:50] ---
    Once Gyakuza saw that
    the gods had the upper hand...
[13:01] ---
    ...they betrayed Houma
[13:03] ---
    and sided with the gods.
[13:10] ---
    You're behind all of this?
[13:16] ---
    I can't blame you.
[13:47] ---
    Bojji!
[13:53] ---
    You dumbass! I can't just
    leave you here and run away!
[14:01] ---
    Bojji...
[14:06] ---
    No!
[14:20] ---
    Are you all right, Bojji and Kage?
[14:23] ---
    Captain! Despa!
[14:31] ---
    Bojji!
[14:32] ---
    You fought well! You are every bit
    my apprentice. I'm proud of you!
[14:38] ---
    Yeah, Bojji really did fight well!
    He's trying to protect us all!
[14:47] ---
    Be sure to build your own happiness
    on the happiness of others.
[15:00] ---
    Bojji, you just have
    to keep growing up now.
[15:05] ---
    You don't have to think of yourself
    as being powerless.
[15:09] ---
    It almost sounds as though
    you think you've already won.
[15:12] ---
    Wh-What?!
[15:13] ---
    So that's Miranjo.
[15:16] ---
    You want me to smash you to pieces?!
[15:20] ---
    You're not going to fight back?
[15:23] ---
    Whether I want to or not,
    I am powerless on my own.
[15:29] ---
    What the hell are you, anyway?!
[15:32] ---
    Yes, what am I, anyway?
[15:39] ---
    Something seems off.
[15:41] ---
    Yes, it does. Nonetheless,
    we will take her life.
[15:45] ---
    Although now is not the time for that.
[15:59] ---
    Ouken...
[16:01] ---
    My spear acted as a lightning rod.
[16:04] ---
    What choice was there?
[16:06] ---
    But he will not miss next time.
[16:09] ---
    Brother...
[16:12] ---
    I know.
[16:18] ---
    You're not getting away!
[16:26] ---
    Shirasampe--a technique that strikes
    a vital point with a foreign object
[16:30] ---
    to take your opponent by surprise.
[16:33] ---
    I heard about it from Prince Despa.
[16:58] ---
    He conducted the lightning through
    only the right side of his body!
[17:01] ---
    Avoiding his head and heart!
[17:06] ---
    So he's overcome lightning. This is bad.
[17:10] ---
    Everyone...
[17:11] ---
    ...will be killed.
[17:24] ---
    Damn it!
[17:33] ---
    Captain!
[17:37] ---
    Over here, Ouken!
[17:40] ---
    Despa...!
[17:42] ---
    Your opponent is me, Despa!
[17:54] ---
    Despa,
[17:56] ---
    you have no aptitude for martial arts!
[18:00] ---
    Why, that's not true. You have a
    nasty habit of making assumptions.
[18:07] ---
    I know what to do in my head.
    But my body...
[18:12] ---
    Why am I the only one of us this weak?
[18:17] ---
    My weapon is my analytical ability...
[18:26] ---
    ...and my intuition.
[18:29] ---
    His first attack will be a thrust.
[18:34] ---
    I have not forsaken you. Not one bit.
[18:38] ---
    Now, shall we take on
    that lightning together?
[18:47] ---
    Brother!
[18:49] ---
    Despa...
[18:52] ---
    Ouken?
[18:53] ---
    Brother...
[18:55] ---
    Brother...
[18:57] ---
    Is that you, Ouken?
[19:00] ---
    Brother, you don't have to save me yet.
[19:04] ---
    Yet?
[19:06] ---
    There are still others that you
    have to save, aren't there?
[19:10] ---
    Others? Who do you mean?
[19:12] ---
    I will do whatever it takes to save you--
[19:27] ---
    Despa!!
[19:49] ---
    Bojji! Despa is still alive!
[19:52] ---
    That's Ouken's technique.
    He misses your vital points,
[19:56] ---
    so he can enjoy watching you
    as you die slowly.
[20:21] ---
    It's hopeless!
    At this rate, Bojji is done for!
[20:25] ---
    Is there anything I can do?
    Anything... Anything...
[20:52] ---
    Bojji!
[21:03] ---
    No! No!
[21:05] ---
    Bojji!
[21:08] ---
    
[21:10] ---
    
[21:12] ---
    
[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
[22:45] ---
    I'll be singing here for you,
    waiting for you
