[00:01] ---
    Domas, I appoint you to be
    my son's swordsmanship tutor.
[00:08] ---
    I expect great things, Swordmaster.
[00:16] ---
    Prince Bojji, I wish to teach you
    everything that I know about the sword.
[00:21] ---
    Our practice is likely
    to be quite rigorous,
[00:24] ---
    but we'll get through it together.
[00:26] ---
    We'll start with 1,000 push-ups.
[00:44] ---
    It's only natural that
    you can't do them at first.
[00:46] ---
    You will gradually become able to, though.
[00:53] ---
    The stance is like this.
    Keep your back straighter.
[01:02] ---
    My sword style, which emulates King Bosse,
[01:05] ---
    is a style of power, one which takes
    on all foes, and never retreats.
[01:11] ---
    What exactly am I supposed to do?
[01:20] ---
    This is hardest on him. But...
[01:29] ---
    That will be enough for today.
[01:31] ---
    Thank you very much.
[01:33] ---
    Domas...
[01:34] ---
    Yes?
[01:35] ---
    Does the boy have
    any aptitude for the sword?
[01:41] ---
    It is too soon to say anything just yet.
[01:44] ---
    I see. You may go.
[01:46] ---
    Yes, Your Majesty.
[01:50] ---
    Domas...
[01:53] ---
    Your sign language has gotten much better.
[01:56] ---
    Go ahead and surprise Bojji with it.
[01:59] ---
    Do you think he will be pleased?
[02:01] ---
    I wouldn't know.
[02:06] ---
    Prince Bojji...
[02:09] ---
    How are you doing?
[02:21] ---
    He understood me!
[02:46] ---
    Prince Bojji, there is
    nothing to worry about.
[02:51] ---
    You are fine just the way you are.
[02:55] ---
    I swear to you,
[02:57] ---
    I will keep you safe.
[03:00] ---
    Face dewy with tears and sweat
[03:05] ---
    With your own unique beauty
[03:09] ---
    Smile for me
[03:12] ---
    Panting with exertion,
    you shine brighter than anyone
[03:19] ---
    "Ranking of Kings"
[03:26] ---
    You melted into these almost listless days
[03:30] ---
    Energy faded like soda gone flat
[03:35] ---
    As a duckling you spread your wings
[03:39] ---
    And dream of flying as a swan
[03:44] ---
    If you have to wander,
    then enjoy it as much as you can
[03:48] ---
    Nothing fun about
    just taking shortcuts, right?
[03:53] ---
    You took your time, took the hard road
[03:55] ---
    But you couldn't get there
[03:58] ---
    You keep chasing the sunset
    as many times as it takes
[04:03] ---
    Now run far
[04:06] ---
    Your dirty shoes and footprints
    will head steadily into the future
[04:15] ---
    Panting with exertion,
    you shine brighter than anyone
[04:29] ---
    "Episode 4: His First Journey"
[04:30] ---
    "Episode 4: His First Journey"
    Queen Hiling, the judge from the
    Ranking of Kings Committee has arrived.
[04:34] ---
    Queen Hiling, the judge from the
    Ranking of Kings Committee has arrived.
[04:37] ---
    With the passing of King Bosse, he is
    probably here to assign a new ranking.
[04:44] ---
    It is a king's duty to be decisive enough
    to do away with future problems.
[04:51] ---
    There is no telling who
    might someday use Prince Bojji
[04:53] ---
    to bring about chaos within
    the kingdom. If that happens,
[04:58] ---
    there will be an uprising,
    and many lives will be lost.
[05:02] ---
    As the king, you must
    make sure to prevent this.
[05:06] ---
    The order to assassinate Prince Bojji
    has already been issued.
[05:11] ---
    Yeah, right.
[05:13] ---
    That just leaves the matter of obtaining
    strength from King Bosse's body.
[05:18] ---
    Is that really necessary?
[05:20] ---
    Yes. King Daida, you are young,
    and your potential is unlimited,
[05:24] ---
    but King Bosse's power
    was the greatest of them all.
[05:28] ---
    But I...
[05:30] ---
    want to stake my reign
    on my own potential.
[05:36] ---
    It has been too long, Apeas.
[05:40] ---
    You're from the ranking committee.
[05:42] ---
    Yes. This brings back memories.
[05:56] ---
    King Bosse would have been first place
    if we judged by strength alone.
[06:02] ---
    The ranking, huh?
    I've heard some unpleasant things.
[06:07] ---
    Such as the king in first place
[06:08] ---
    getting to take one item of his choosing
    from the Divine Treasure Vault.
[06:12] ---
    That's correct.
[06:14] ---
    That each successive king
    chooses the same treasure,
[06:17] ---
    but afterward, they either
    go missing or lose their minds.
[06:22] ---
    What is it that they receive from God?
[06:25] ---
    Well...
[06:27] ---
    that I could not say.
[07:11] ---
    They are quite prosperous here.
[07:13] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[07:15] ---
    Perhaps we should stock up on
    some things. Look after Prince Bojji.
[07:18] ---
    Right.
[07:20] ---
    Now... Ah!
[07:21] ---
    P-Prince Bojji!
[07:23] ---
    Prince Bojji!
[07:26] ---
    O-Oh, no...
[07:29] ---
    Please forgive me!
[07:30] ---
    Silence, you betrayer!
[07:32] ---
    Hold it! You'll have to face me!
[07:36] ---
    Hang in there!
[07:46] ---
    A g-gold coin!
[07:52] ---
    Prince Bojji, where did you go?
[07:58] ---
    P-Prince Bojji!
[08:05] ---
    Taking a little nap, are you?
[08:08] ---
    Huh? Your bag!
[08:10] ---
    Prince Bojji! Prince Bojji!
[08:14] ---
    What happened to your bag?
[08:20] ---
    Don't tell me it was stolen!
[08:24] ---
    You fool!
[08:26] ---
    You think saying sorry is enough?!
[08:28] ---
    I'm so terribly sorry!
[08:33] ---
    Keep your excuses to yourself.
[08:34] ---
    Your mistakes are our responsibility.
[08:38] ---
    Prince Bojji, they all live their lives
[08:41] ---
    working as hard as they can to make money.
[08:44] ---
    I ask that you refrain from doing anything
[08:45] ---
    to make them succumb to temptation.
[08:49] ---
    Please learn your lesson
    well from this slip-up.
[08:53] ---
    Now, there wasn't anything
    important in it, was there?
[08:56] ---
    Actually, there was a letter
    from Queen Hiling to her parents.
[09:00] ---
    That's pretty serious, isn't it?!
[09:01] ---
    Yes!
    You...!
[09:06] ---
    Well, I guess that's that, then.
[09:08] ---
    Huh?
[09:11] ---
    Okay, let's have dinner.
[09:17] ---
    Much as it pains me to say this,
[09:20] ---
    your ranking cannot help but be
    marked down considerably.
[09:23] ---
    I would say you are about 90th place.
[09:30] ---
    Are you prepared to follow
    any order from your superior?
[09:35] ---
    What sort of order, for instance?
[09:37] ---
    No for-instances.
    Will you follow the order, or not?
[09:42] ---
    I don't know.
[09:44] ---
    Then you don't have enough resolve.
[09:46] ---
    I mean to follow them.
[09:49] ---
    Our superiors bear pressures and
    responsibilities that we can't fathom.
[09:54] ---
    People like us are in
    no position to determine
[09:57] ---
    whether the orders
    they give us are right or wrong.
[10:01] ---
    Yes, you're right.
    I've been quite inconsiderate.
[10:04] ---
    No, it's all right.
[10:08] ---
    What sort of pressures and
    responsibilities must Prince Bojji bear?
[10:19] ---
    Oh, thank you...
[10:28] ---
    There aren't any towns
    for a while beyond here.
[10:30] ---
    Our journey will become
    a bit more dangerous.
[10:32] ---
    Right.
[10:38] ---
    Prince Bojji!
[10:39] ---
    Does that bag belong to you?
[10:47] ---
    The contents are all there.
    But how, exactly?
[11:27] ---
    I want to be in your corner from now on,
    no matter what happens.
[11:47] ---
    Who's there?! How dare you!
[12:02] ---
    You're someone from the secular world?
    And one who can't speak, at that.
[12:07] ---
    What are you doing in these forests?
[12:10] ---
    I know why!
[12:11] ---
    The forests are great! You can sense
    the mysteries! The great mysteries!
[12:33] ---
    Look there.
[12:56] ---
    That is how new sacrifices
    are granted unto us hunters.
[13:09] ---
    Do as I'm doing!
[13:17] ---
    This is the dance of reconciliation!
[13:20] ---
    It is a rite by which we ask forgiveness
    from those who are leaving their bodies,
[13:23] ---
    and demonstrate our gratitude to them!
[13:27] ---
    They then become sacrifices once again,
    in order for us to sustain our lives.
[13:49] ---
    Here.
[13:55] ---
    It's good! It's really good!
[14:05] ---
    Mysterious. And yet,
    this is the essence of life.
[14:10] ---
    We kill others and eat them
    so that we may live.
[14:20] ---
    Are you going to be my next sacrifice?
[14:37] ---
    Prince Bojji! Prince Bojji!
[14:41] ---
    Prince Bojji! You're all right!
[14:45] ---
    We saw the fire and thought
    something bad happened.
[14:49] ---
    What's going on? Who is that?
[15:06] ---
    Here, Prince Bojji.
[15:12] ---
    Prince Bojji!
[15:17] ---
    Who's there?!
[15:19] ---
    There's nobody there.
    But that's impossible.
[15:23] ---
    I don't detect anyone.
    They've already left.
[15:29] ---
    Who could it be?
[15:31] ---
    Probably bandits.
[15:42] ---
    Must be a mother and her kits.
[15:54] ---
    Bebin!
[15:55] ---
    These are your knives!
    I know you're out there!
[15:59] ---
    Show yourself!
[16:08] ---
    The knives must have
    been laced with poison.
[16:53] ---
    Prince Bojji, let's give
    them a proper burial.
[17:00] ---
    I'm sure the mother and her kits
    are living happily in the afterlife.
[17:06] ---
    The afterlife...
[17:09] ---
    Do you know where we're
    passing through after here?
[17:11] ---
    No.
[17:12] ---
    The hole that leads to the underworld.
[17:15] ---
    Also known as the Gates of Hell.
[17:20] ---
    The Gates of Hell...
[17:22] ---
    Still, it's quite prosperous, isn't it?
[17:25] ---
    The reason the town is so peaceful,
[17:28] ---
    and the underworld
    monsters are kept out...
[17:31] ---
    is because of the Order of the Underworld,
[17:33] ---
    the greatest knights in history.
[17:36] ---
    Hokuro, go on ahead
    and find us a place to stay.
[17:39] ---
    Right.
[17:44] ---
    Prince Bojji, let's go see
    the Gates of Hell up close.
[17:57] ---
    Every few minutes, the Gates of Hell...
[18:02] ---
    release a tremendous amount of flames.
[18:05] ---
    Just like the flames of Purgatory.
[18:14] ---
    Prince Bojji, come and look.
    You really can't see the bottom.
[19:26] ---
    Forgive me... Prince Bojji...
[19:36] ---
    Where am I?
[19:41] ---
    That is Pandora's Box.
    You must not open it.
[19:44] ---
    Mother...
[19:46] ---
    No...
[19:48] ---
    For you to become a true king,
    you must open that box.
[20:03] ---
    Mother!
[20:06] ---
    Mirror, it's so dark, I can't see a thing!
[20:18] ---
    Brother?
[20:20] ---
    That is hope.
[20:22] ---
    The last remaining bit of hope
    that can save you.
[20:30] ---
    Brother!
[20:38] ---
    Every time he falls, he gets up again,
    Every time he falls, he gets up again,
[20:41] ---
    and with his strong, unfaltering heart,
    and with his strong, unfaltering heart,
[20:43] ---
    he wards off calamity.
    He wards off calamity.
[20:52] ---
    It was a dream?
[20:55] ---
    Mirror!
[20:58] ---
    Yes?
[21:00] ---
    I want to gain Father's strength
    this very moment.
