*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?"*

"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*
