[00:06] ---
    Right now, there is
    someone choking back tears
[00:16] ---
    Shake off the power that comes from malice
[00:22] ---
    Sure, you can't hear
[00:25] ---
    But right now the hero doesn't need power
[00:31] ---
    Let yourself be
[00:34] ---
    Watch these tiny hands now
[00:40] ---
    Everything I've fallen in love with
[00:45] ---
    And the curse that fell upon me, too
[00:51] ---
    All of the feelings of falling in love
[00:57] ---
    Give me enough light to protect them
[01:03] ---
    Shake off the power that comes from malice
[01:09] ---
    Sure, you can't hear
[01:12] ---
    But right now the hero doesn't need power
[01:18] ---
    Let yourself be
[01:21] ---
    The shadows are closing in,
    asking "What are you?"
[01:25] ---
    "Ranking of Kings"

    "Episode 22: A Promise to the Demon"
[01:31] ---
    Daida...
[01:34] ---
    Daida...
[01:35] ---
    That voice...!
[01:37] ---
    I want you... to see something--
[01:43] ---
    my memories of being with Miranjo.
[02:15] ---
    Miranjo!
[03:06] ---
    After that, the two of us
    saw many sights.
[03:33] ---
    This is nice.
[03:38] ---
    I'm very happy to be with you.
[03:42] ---
    Long ago, my aim was to become the
    strongest man in the world,
[03:47] ---
    and my days were filled
    with nothing but chaos.
[03:51] ---
    But I enjoy living like this, too.
[03:54] ---
    That was Bosse's dream?
[03:58] ---
    What can I do to make
    his dream come true?
[04:03] ---
    Is it to leave him?
[04:08] ---
    No... No...
[04:11] ---
    H-Hey...
[04:18] ---
    Bosse, I'm doing fine now.
[04:23] ---
    Now I want to make your dream come true.
[04:46] ---
    I see you were victorious again.
[04:50] ---
    I want a battle where
    I'm fighting for my life.
[04:54] ---
    The opponents you choose for me
    are all foes I can definitely beat.
[05:01] ---
    I know there are others
    who are more formidable.
[05:04] ---
    Well...
[05:06] ---
    I can't grow any stronger
    if I don't know what's beyond me.
[05:09] ---
    There is one in this
    land named Chabi-shin.
[05:25] ---
    Bosse!
[05:36] ---
    That... was a different kind of power.
[05:42] ---
    I don't even have any regrets.
[05:46] ---
    Should we head back to that island again?
[05:56] ---
    Bosse,
[05:58] ---
    there is a way for you
    to have your wish granted.
[06:07] ---
    It's been a long time,
[06:09] ---
    Miranjo.
[06:16] ---
    See, whenever I grant a person's wish,
[06:20] ---
    I supposedly turn more
    and more into an ugly monster.
[06:25] ---
    That's all right.
    I'll never ask you for anything.
[06:32] ---
    Don't make that face at me.
[06:36] ---
    I'm sorry.
[06:39] ---
    I see...
[06:44] ---
    Tell the demon your wish.
[06:47] ---
    I want to be the
    strongest man in the world.
[06:52] ---
    In that case,
[06:53] ---
    I shall take the strength of your child
    yet to be born and give it to you.
[07:00] ---
    Take the strength... of his child?
[07:08] ---
    Is that what happened?
[07:12] ---
    Brother...
[07:17] ---
    Father...!
[07:36] ---
    Why do I feel so empty?
[07:40] ---
    Where did all that excitement go?
[07:46] ---
    This is farewell.
[07:48] ---
    I've betrayed everyone...
[07:53] ---
    Especially you.
[07:56] ---
    I'm sorry.
[07:58] ---
    Your life has been full of regrets, huh?
[08:02] ---
    No. We can do everything over.
[08:06] ---
    For that, we'll need Prince Daida.
[08:10] ---
    Daida?
[08:14] ---
    I want you to take good care of him.
[08:17] ---
    He's the one who takes after me the most.
[08:22] ---
    He will make some wrong choices.
[08:26] ---
    But I promise,
    he will be of assistance to you.
[08:30] ---
    I'm sure that boy will treasure you...
[08:43] ---
    Daida...
[08:46] ---
    Daida...
[08:50] ---
    Look after Miranjo.
[08:56] ---
    Father?
[09:32] ---
    Oh, use this?
[09:35] ---
    Brother...
[09:50] ---
    Oh!
[09:52] ---
    Captain!
[10:02] ---
    Got it!
[10:09] ---
    If you want your head back,
[10:11] ---
    then you will grant my wish!
[10:13] ---
    Grant his wish?
[10:20] ---
    "I will hear your wish."
[10:24] ---
    Make my brother, Ouken...
[10:30] ---
    Hmm? Miranjo?
[10:32] ---
    Demon!
[10:35] ---
    Bring Miranjo...
[10:51] ---
    Bring Miranjo...
[10:53] ---
    ...back to life!
[11:13] ---
    You're all right now.
[11:24] ---
    Come on, let's go.
[11:30] ---
    King Bosse, why?
[11:34] ---
    I'm Daida.
[11:36] ---
    Huh?
[11:44] ---
    Goodbye, Miranjo.
[11:48] ---
    I'm sorry.
[11:50] ---
    Someday, I'll turn you back
    to the way you were.
[12:00] ---
    What was that?! You just took my wish!
[12:43] ---
    King Daida?
[12:45] ---
    That's right.
    You've been brought back to life!
[12:52] ---
    It's because you were there for me that
    I could remain strong in the darkness.
[12:58] ---
    I've wanted to meet you
    for a very long time.
[13:03] ---
    But I did all of this...
[13:09] ---
    What the hell are you talking about?
[13:12] ---
    Thanks to you, I was able to grow!
[13:17] ---
    Miranjo,
[13:19] ---
    I want you to be my wife.
[13:28] ---
    I-I'm not really...
[13:31] ---
    I mean it.
[13:50] ---
    Everyone, listen to me!
[13:52] ---
    I won't have anyone bringing
    any harm upon my wife-to-be!
[14:02] ---
    What nonsense is this?!
[14:04] ---
    Wait a minute!
[14:07] ---
    We will make up for everything we can.
    Just please, please forgive her.
[14:15] ---
    Our greatest wish was
    to save Prince Ouken.
[14:20] ---
    It's not that simple!
[14:23] ---
    I'm holding that woman responsible!
[14:31] ---
    Brother,
[14:33] ---
    you don't have to save me yet.
[14:36] ---
    There are still others that you
    have to save, aren't there?
[14:41] ---
    Were you talking about Miranjo?
[14:48] ---
    All right, understood.
[14:51] ---
    But in return,
[14:53] ---
    I will take reparations
    in silver and gold.
[15:00] ---
    Prince Despa...
[15:02] ---
    Ouken is immortal;
    there will be a next time.
[15:08] ---
    May I have a word?
[15:13] ---
    I have seen your past.
[15:15] ---
    Your past filled with suffering.
[15:22] ---
    You must pass on the lesson
    to the next generation
[15:26] ---
    of why you committed your crimes,
    so that such sadness never happens again.
[15:33] ---
    That is your mission. It could prove
    to be atonement for your sins.
[15:40] ---
    So now, see that you make
    everyone else happy from now on,
[15:44] ---
    as you find happiness yourself.
[15:54] ---
    Will that suffice?
[15:59] ---
    What a nice thing for you to say!
[16:02] ---
    Easy, now.
[16:05] ---
    Thank you very much.
[16:07] ---
    I also cannot thank you enough
    for what you've done for my brother.
[16:12] ---
    All I did was broaden Bojji's horizons.
[16:17] ---
    Bojji has long been training himself
    while no one else was aware.
[16:23] ---
    He believed in himself, while no one else
    ever noticed, nor appreciated him.
[16:30] ---
    My brother found himself a fine teacher.
[16:39] ---
    What do we report to King Desha?
[16:44] ---
    Now that we've let our chance
    to save Prince Ouken slip away...
[16:49] ---
    Let's just see how Brother responds.
[16:53] ---
    What did you say?
[17:07] ---
    All right.
[17:08] ---
    In that case, bring back a bunch
    of gold and silver as compensation.
[17:13] ---
    B-But...
[17:15] ---
    What? Is there anything else we can do?
[17:18] ---
    No. Very well.
[17:22] ---
    He forgave us!
[17:26] ---
    Why?
[17:27] ---
    Why did he forgive us so readily?
[17:31] ---
    I will accept the first-place ranking.
[17:34] ---
    Take me to the treasure vault.
[17:46] ---
    Queen Hiling,
    everything has been resolved.
[17:49] ---
    Dorshe!
[17:57] ---
    Is that you, Daida?
[17:59] ---
    Yes. Your voice was
    with me the entire time, Mother.
[18:06] ---
    You kept calling out to me, didn't you?
[18:09] ---
    Huh?
[18:13] ---
    I wouldn't know!
[18:18] ---
    So anyway, what happened here?
[18:22] ---
    Brother here...
[18:24] ---
    ...helped save me.
[18:28] ---
    Queen Hiling...?
[18:29] ---
    Hmph. I already knew...
[18:33] ---
    ...that I would see Bojji again and
    that given who he is, he'd be fine.
[18:39] ---
    Come over here.
[18:44] ---
    You two fought well.
[18:48] ---
    You are both very fine young....
[18:55] ---
    Oh, you...!
[18:57] ---
    Mother! I'm too old for this!
[19:00] ---
    Will you be quiet?!
[19:02] ---
    Do you have a problem, too?!
[19:13] ---
    You've done well!
[19:19] ---
    The rest of you are okay, too, right?
[19:22] ---
    Good.
[19:25] ---
    Huh?
[19:27] ---
    Who are you, now?
[19:30] ---
    I'm sorry. All of this was my--
[19:34] ---
    This woman...
[19:35] ---
    ...is the one who locked me up
    inside the darkness.
[19:38] ---
    Huh?
[19:39] ---
    She's also the mastermind
    behind this whole series of events.
[19:43] ---
    Sh-She's what?! So then, this woman is...
[19:47] ---
    ...Miranjo?!
[19:48] ---
    Queen Hiling!
[19:50] ---
    Ex--Ex--Execute her...!
[19:59] ---
    Mother,
[20:01] ---
    I'm going to marry her.
[20:04] ---
    Huh?
[20:07] ---
    Huh?!
[20:20] ---
    There's no telling what might happen.
    You're in charge now.
[20:24] ---
    Yes, sire.
[20:25] ---
    King Desha, absolutely
    no harm is going to come to you.
[20:33] ---
    If anything, people change
    when they see wealth and power--
[20:37] ---
    or rather, when something beyond
    their imagination lies before them...
[20:42] ---
    Ha!
[20:43] ---
    You, despite being the king,
[20:45] ---
    made the self-centered choice
    to save your brother, Ouken.
[20:50] ---
    You could not resist your own desire.
[20:53] ---
    Desire, huh?
[20:56] ---
    The Ranking of Kings
[20:58] ---
    exists for the happiness of the people.
[21:01] ---
    That is what I believe.
[21:04] ---
    
[21:06] ---
    
[21:08] ---
    
[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
