**[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"

"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*
