**[00:31] ---**
Miranjo, sorry to keep you.
**[00:35] ---**
I heard the voice of your suffering.
**[00:39] ---**
King Bosse, I've...
**[00:42] ---**
...done some things
that can't be taken back.
**[00:46] ---**
I should have let the feelings I have
for you remain with you alone.
**[00:52] ---**
And yet...
**[00:55] ---**
Giants can only have one child.
**[00:59] ---**
The end of King Bosse's
life is approaching.
**[01:03] ---**
He must have another child...
**[01:08] ---**
While King Bosse is away,
I will direct a hostile nation to attack.
**[01:14] ---**
Then, using Prince Bojji as bait...
**[01:21] ---**
...I will kill Queen Shiina.
**[01:24] ---**
I see. So you saw to it that Daida was
born so that I could be resurrected.
**[01:31] ---**
Queen Hiling will likely suffer.
**[01:33] ---**
More than anything, she will be
desperate to get Prince Daida back.
**[01:39] ---**
Which means we should
make her end quick and painless.
**[01:49] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[01:52] ---**
So, you've come back to your senses.
**[01:56] ---**
You did all of this for my sake.
**[02:00] ---**
I never showed you any other way
and relied entirely upon you.
**[02:06] ---**
Miranjo, as it turns out, all of your
suffering will have been for nothing.
**[02:12] ---**
You don't mean...!
**[02:19] ---**
Furthermore, if I am defeated here,
I will join you.
**[02:28] ---**
King Bosse... I cannot go with you...
**[02:34] ---**
I am sorry.
**[02:43] ---**
*Right now, there is*
*someone choking back tears*
**[02:53] ---**
*Shake off the power that comes from malice*
**[02:59] ---**
*Sure, you can't hear*
**[03:02] ---**
*But right now the hero doesn't need power*
**[03:08] ---**
*Let yourself be*
**[03:11] ---**
*Watch these tiny hands now*
**[03:17] ---**
*Everything I've fallen in love with*
**[03:22] ---**
*And the curse that fell upon me, too*
**[03:28] ---**
*All of the feelings of falling in love*
**[03:34] ---**
*Give me enough light to protect them*
**[03:40] ---**
*Shake off the power that comes from malice*
**[03:46] ---**
*Sure, you can't hear*
**[03:49] ---**
*But right now the hero doesn't need power*
**[03:55] ---**
*Let yourself be*
**[03:58] ---**
*The shadows are closing in,*
*asking "What are you?"*
**[04:02] ---**
"Ranking of Kings"
**[04:06] ---**
"The Swordsmanship of a King"
**[04:07] ---**
If you try to take Daida's body back
from me, I'll show you no mercy.
**[04:13] ---**
But if you swear your allegiance to me,
I will spare you.
**[04:19] ---**
And if you don't...
**[04:25] ---**
...you will die!
**[04:28] ---**
No way... King Bosse...
**[04:40] ---**
Now, decide! Swear your allegiance
to me, or die for Daida's sake--
**[04:47] ---**
there are only two paths before you.
**[05:20] ---**
You can't, Bojji! If you fight that guy...
**[05:28] ---**
Oh... You and I are one and the same.
**[05:33] ---**
This is the right way, isn't it?
When we die, we'll die together!
**[05:41] ---**
Yeah!
**[05:46] ---**
I see.
**[05:48] ---**
Which side are the rest of you on?
**[05:56] ---**
I'm with Prince Bojji!
**[05:58] ---**
Master Domas...!
**[06:00] ---**
No more...
**[06:02] ---**
...going the wrong way for me!
**[06:05] ---**
It goes without saying!
**[06:12] ---**
Ditto.
**[06:21] ---**
King Bosse,
**[06:22] ---**
you relinquished the throne
to Prince Bojji! We, the Big Four...
**[06:28] ---**
...serve the king!
**[06:31] ---**
Woo-hoo!
**[06:33] ---**
Bojji! Everybody's on your side!
**[06:45] ---**
Then I'll kill you all!
**[07:11] ---**
Prince Bojji!
**[07:12] ---**
Please stand down!
**[07:13] ---**
We will fight!
**[07:14] ---**
Even if it costs us our lives!
**[07:16] ---**
I am terribly sorry to say this...
**[07:18] ---**
...but you are absolutely
no match for him.
**[07:21] ---**
You will simply lose your lives
without accomplishing anything.
**[07:29] ---**
Even so, I took a vow
to protect Prince Bojji!
**[07:34] ---**
It is the least I can do
to atone for what I've done!
**[07:38] ---**
I admire your spirit. But...
**[07:42] ---**
Bojji!
**[07:54] ---**
D-Did he kill him?!
**[07:56] ---**
Oh, no. Bojji's swordsmanship
is life-sparing.
**[08:00] ---**
Life-sparing swordsmanship?
**[08:01] ---**
In other words, it is the swordsmanship
of a king that does not kill!
**[08:10] ---**
Don't do anything crazy.
**[08:12] ---**
The honest truth is,
I'm the one who taught it to him! Me!
**[08:18] ---**
It's no use. It's as plain as day.
**[08:21] ---**
Bojji's swordsmanship cannot defeat me.
**[08:24] ---**
The least I can do is
make sure he doesn't suffer.
**[08:28] ---**
If it should come to it...
**[08:30] ---**
...even if it kills us...
**[08:31] ---**
Mitsumata, make sure Prince Bojji
gets away, no matter what.
**[08:36] ---**
I am sorry, Bojji. Even if you can see
Bosse's swing coming at you,
**[08:41] ---**
it is not likely something you can dodge.
**[08:44] ---**
Still, you have the potential...
**[08:47] ---**
No, I...
**[08:49] ---**
...taught you mainly
to further my own wishes.
**[08:53] ---**
I am a failure as a teacher.
**[08:59] ---**
Bojji, from the moment
I met you, you've always...
**[09:04] ---**
...always, always...
**[09:06] ---**
...helped others.
**[10:02] ---**
Prince Bojji!
**[10:36] ---**
Bojji!
**[11:41] ---**
Indeed... You are no longer...
**[11:55] ---**
Prince Bojji, that is not the
swordsmanship of a king.
**[12:02] ---**
Bojji... Bojji!
**[12:09] ---**
That truly is...
**[12:11] ---**
...the swordsmanship of a king!
**[12:33] ---**
The invincible King Bosse...
**[12:36] ---**
...is utterly powerless
against this Prince Bojji.
**[13:02] ---**
If you keep going like this,
you are going to die.
**[13:14] ---**
What is this I'm feeling?
**[13:19] ---**
Indecision...
**[13:21] ---**
Guilt...
**[13:24] ---**
Affection...
**[13:26] ---**
As well as...
**[13:29] ---**
...happiness...
**[14:11] ---**
Miranjo...
**[14:14] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[14:17] ---**
Ah, I see. King Bosse never
wanted to come back to life.
**[14:26] ---**
It was always my own self-indulgence...
**[14:35] ---**
Go!
**[14:57] ---**
Are you declining the first-place ranking?
**[15:01] ---**
There may be some way to
save Prince Ouken in the treasury.
**[15:06] ---**
Hmph.
**[15:07] ---**
Then you believe what Prince Despa says?
**[15:10] ---**
My brother may be a fool,
but he is trustworthy.
**[15:14] ---**
He will lift the curse
of immortality from Ouken.
**[15:20] ---**
Ah... what a bother...
**[15:28] ---**
I want to... at least...
give this body... back to Daida...
**[15:37] ---**
I could not see how much
you were suffering, King Bosse.
**[15:42] ---**
No. I was the one making *you* suffer.
**[15:47] ---**
I had so much joy and delight.
**[15:52] ---**
But all you had was me...
**[15:57] ---**
Prince Bojji...
**[15:59] ---**
...please... destroy me.
**[16:03] ---**
Miranjo!
**[16:05] ---**
Do so, and the curse will be lifted...
**[16:08] ---**
...and King Daida will return.
**[16:13] ---**
You are to be the king, right?
**[16:16] ---**
You must make your own decisions
and then carry them out.
**[16:23] ---**
Miranjo, I'm sorry... I just...
**[16:27] ---**
...wanted to make you happy...
**[16:31] ---**
We who are royalty must be
the heart and soul of our people.
**[16:38] ---**
Keep up your training, my son.
**[16:46] ---**
Prince Bojji, I beg you!
Please don't do this!
**[16:50] ---**
Lady Miranjo, turn yourself to diamond!
**[16:54] ---**
I no longer have nearly
enough magic to do that.
**[16:58] ---**
Earlier...
**[17:07] ---**
Miranjo, let's go together.
**[17:12] ---**
Yes...
**[17:14] ---**
King Bosse!
**[17:20] ---**
Wah! Why are you making Bojji...
do something so painful?!
**[17:25] ---**
This must be settled now!
**[17:28] ---**
Miranjo herself wants
none other than Bojji
**[17:32] ---**
to bring an end to this
whole star-crossed affair.
**[17:35] ---**
There is no other way
for this to be resolved.
**[17:40] ---**
Bojji...
**[17:42] ---**
And then I must save my brother.
**[17:48] ---**
Prince Bojji...
**[18:07] ---**
Save me from the demon...?
**[18:14] ---**
Prince Bojji, I am sorry. And also...
**[18:21] ---**
...thank you.
**[18:42] ---**
There he is! Captain!
**[18:44] ---**
Right!
**[18:45] ---**
Boba!
**[18:52] ---**
Boba bo! Babba!
**[18:58] ---**
Miranjo! You...!
**[19:01] ---**
I'm sorry, King Bosse.
I cannot go with you.
**[19:07] ---**
If one does not keep
a promise to a demon...
**[19:11] ---**
Why? Why should you be the only one...
**[19:15] ---**
...who has to bear the burden
of so much suffering?!
**[19:19] ---**
Thank you for all that
you've done, King Bosse.
**[19:27] ---**
Miranjo! Miranjo!
**[19:32] ---**
Daida, please...!
**[19:39] ---**
B-Bojji!
**[19:57] ---**
You're here, huh?
**[20:07] ---**
What are you eating?
**[20:12] ---**
I'm Miranjo. Who are you?
**[20:19] ---**
Hmm, he's gone.
**[20:35] ---**
I'm sorry... for breaking my promise!
**[21:12] ---**
Welcome...
**[21:14] ---**
...to an endless world
of pain and suffering.
**[21:19] ---**
**[21:21] ---**
**[21:23] ---**
**[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*
