[00:50] ---
    It's me!
[00:55] ---
    I want to be in your corner from now on,
    no matter what happens.
[01:11] ---
    Yeah, that's right. It's me, Kage.
[01:28] ---
    Don't cry, Bojji. We're both
    big boys seeing each other again.
[01:46] ---
    Bojji, you look silly!
[01:55] ---
    Face dewy with tears and sweat
[02:00] ---
    With your own unique beauty
[02:04] ---
    Smile for me
[02:07] ---
    Panting with exertion,
    you shine brighter than anyone
[02:14] ---
    "Ranking of Kings"
[02:21] ---
    You melted into these almost listless days
[02:25] ---
    Energy faded like soda gone flat
[02:30] ---
    As a duckling you spread your wings
[02:34] ---
    And dream of flying as a swan
[02:39] ---
    If you have to wander,
    then enjoy it as much as you can
[02:43] ---
    Nothing fun about
    just taking shortcuts, right?
[02:48] ---
    You took your time, took the hard road
[02:50] ---
    But you couldn't get there
[02:53] ---
    You keep chasing the sunset
    as many times as it takes
[02:58] ---
    Now run far
[03:01] ---
    Your dirty shoes and footprints
    will head steadily into the future
[03:10] ---
    Panting with exertion,
    you shine brighter than anyone
[03:24] ---
    "Episode 5: Intertwining Plots"
[03:32] ---
    I've been by your side
    this whole time, Bojji.
[03:36] ---
    When you fell off the tower...
[03:43] ---
    When you had your bag stolen...
[03:57] ---
    When you almost got fed
    that poisoned meat...
[04:02] ---
    I saved you each time!
[04:06] ---
    It grieves me to have to say this,
[04:08] ---
    but your life is in jeopardy.
[04:13] ---
    I was ordered by that guy to escort you.
[04:18] ---
    Of course, I don't know what
    he's plotting in that mind of his.
[04:22] ---
    Anyhow, since none of us
    knew who was after you,
[04:26] ---
    we had to keep it a secret from you.
[04:28] ---
    "To fool the enemy,
    start with your allies," and all that.
[04:36] ---
    Don't worry about it.
    Anything can happen in life.
[04:40] ---
    Okay, let's head out.
    We're not going up; we're going down.
[04:53] ---
    We're gonna go see someone who'll
    make you the mightiest man there is!
[04:57] ---
    Yeah, you!
[04:59] ---
    He's supposedly down at
    the bottom, in the "underworld."
[05:05] ---
    Enter.
[05:08] ---
    You called for me, Your Majesty?
[05:10] ---
    Domas, why did you vote for me when
    they were deciding who would be king?
[05:15] ---
    H-How do you know that?
[05:19] ---
    I thought that the burden would
    be too great for Prince Bojji. Also,
[05:24] ---
    if I might be so bold,
    you measure up better to be the king...
[05:29] ---
    I see, so I'm more
    suitable for the throne?
[05:37] ---
    Brother was your pupil, you coward!
[05:41] ---
    To betray him and vote for me makes
    you a disgrace as a court official!
[05:46] ---
    I have nothing to say for myself.
[05:50] ---
    That day when I sparred with you,
[05:52] ---
    I thought that I had come
    across someone that I could trust.
[05:57] ---
    But you've betrayed my expectations.
[06:03] ---
    Domas, I valued your abilities.
[06:08] ---
    I hoped that one day,
    you would be my right hand.
[06:13] ---
    But that dream... was not to be.
[06:19] ---
    King Daida, what can I do?
[06:22] ---
    For the sake of the kingdom and
    its people, I have come to a decision.
[06:27] ---
    But it's an order that I can
    only give to someone I trust.
[06:32] ---
    Then you can trust me!
[06:37] ---
    I should be proud of what I've done.
[06:43] ---
    This aching in my conscience
[06:45] ---
    comes from my failure
    to have strong enough resolve.
[06:49] ---
    That's it. That must be what it is.
[07:04] ---
    Sure is deep, huh?
[07:08] ---
    We're still not at the bottom.
[07:10] ---
    Oh, I just remembered...
[07:14] ---
    Here.
[07:17] ---
    It's just a cloth crown...
[07:21] ---
    but it's something
    you just can't do without.
[07:26] ---
    Yeah.
[07:31] ---
    Mm-hmm, that looks more
    like the Bojji I know.
[07:34] ---
    You don't have anything setting you apart,
[07:36] ---
    so this brings things back into balance.
[07:58] ---
    That's a human skull.
[08:00] ---
    What happened here?
[08:05] ---
    What is it, Bojji?
[08:08] ---
    A funny smell, you say?
[08:16] ---
    It's gas! This is bad!
[08:17] ---
    The reason behind those flames
    is because of this gas!
[08:20] ---
    Hurry, Bojji!
[08:47] ---
    I never knew it went down
    so deep under the castle.
[08:51] ---
    Mirror...
[08:52] ---
    what exactly are you?
[08:54] ---
    A sworn ally who shared the joys
    and sorrows of your father.
[08:58] ---
    Yes, why don't we call it that?
[09:22] ---
    Who are you?
[09:25] ---
    They are loyal servants of King Bosse.
[09:29] ---
    They will assist you in gaining power.
[09:39] ---
    Now, come inside.
[09:57] ---
    There are a number of things
    that are preserved in ice here.
[10:02] ---
    What is this place?
[10:11] ---
    Father!
[10:18] ---
    He has been preserved
    in ice since just after his death.
[10:22] ---
    All for this very moment.
[10:25] ---
    What did you...?
[10:35] ---
    What do you intend to do?
[11:09] ---
    Mirror! How could you do this?!
[11:12] ---
    It all starts here, King Daida.
[12:23] ---
    Right now, King Bosse's marrow
[12:25] ---
    is being mixed with a
    secret potion that I provided.
[12:36] ---
    Now what?
[13:04] ---
    The light is being gathered to heat it up,
[13:06] ---
    and change that which is inside.
[13:09] ---
    It's almost like the sun.
[13:48] ---
    It is hatching.
[13:58] ---
    That's disgusting...
[14:33] ---
    It is holy blood.
[14:39] ---
    The body is burned,
    and from out of its ashes,
[14:43] ---
    the Jewel of Resurrection is retrieved.
[14:49] ---
    Add it, and the elixir is complete.
[14:57] ---
    Now, King Daida, drink.
[15:05] ---
    I have to drink this?
[15:07] ---
    Once you drink it,
    you will gain King Bosse's power.
[15:12] ---
    The greatest power in the world.
[15:16] ---
    Go on, King Daida.
[15:28] ---
    I won't.
[15:29] ---
    You expect me to drink this sketchy stuff?
[15:31] ---
    King Daida, don't you trust me?
[15:36] ---
    This is something I can't do.
[15:37] ---
    Have you forgotten your ranking?
[15:40] ---
    How could I forget it?!
[15:41] ---
    That's why I'm going to try even harder!
    No matter how many years it takes!
[15:46] ---
    The world which you are about
    to venture into is not so easygoing.
[15:52] ---
    I know that.
[15:55] ---
    But I can't do this.
    I don't know why, but I can't!
[16:00] ---
    Indeed, you must feel some hesitation.
[16:03] ---
    But what you will gain
    from drinking that is inestimable.
[16:08] ---
    Then why don't you drink it first?!
[16:11] ---
    Or either of you?! Go on!
[16:13] ---
    The elixir will only
    have an effect on you,
[16:15] ---
    as one who carries
    the blood of King Bosse.
[16:17] ---
    King Daida, please try to imagine...
[16:21] ---
    yourself shooting up in the rankings
    after you become all-powerful...
[16:26] ---
    Yourself, becoming the king of the world.
[16:33] ---
    If I drink this, will I really...
[16:39] ---
    Prince Daida, in any endeavor,
    there is never an easy path.
[16:43] ---
    These are the times that
    will make you what you are.
[16:46] ---
    See that you are not deceived,
    whether by those around you,
[16:49] ---
    but more importantly, by yourself.
[16:55] ---
    I won't drink it.
[16:58] ---
    King Daida!
    Just drop it, Mirror!
[17:02] ---
    Then you leave me no choice.
[17:03] ---
    What do you think you're doing?
[17:06] ---
    This is for your own good.
[17:18] ---
    Don't mess around with me.
[17:23] ---
    Mirror, you may be doing this
    with my interests at heart,
[17:27] ---
    but I will reach the
    first-place ranking on my own!
[17:31] ---
    Wh-What are you doing?!
[17:53] ---
    Master Domas!
[18:01] ---
    Huh? Where's Prince Bojji?
[18:03] ---
    Prince Bojji is gone.
[18:05] ---
    Huh? Where did he go? Master Domas?
[18:08] ---
    Master Domas!
[18:09] ---
    I told you, he's gone!
[18:11] ---
    Gone...?
[18:28] ---
    Master Domas, don't tell me you...
[18:34] ---
    Hmm? The cursed gas didn't kill them?
[18:41] ---
    Oh my. The two of them are already cursed.
[18:45] ---
    No wonder the cursed gas didn't kill them.
[18:48] ---
    One is a giant who has
    had his power taken.
[18:51] ---
    The black one is a shadow clan
    member in altered form,
[18:54] ---
    who has met with divine disfavor.
[18:56] ---
    Still, that crown is a real masterpiece.
[19:02] ---
    Good work. This should prove
    to be a fine way to pass some time.
[19:06] ---
    Sire.
[19:09] ---
    Heh. Wake up!
[19:23] ---
    You're Bosse's son, are you?
[19:29] ---
    Master Domas!
[19:31] ---
    My mission was to get rid of Prince Bojji.
[19:35] ---
    Wha...?!
[19:38] ---
    Did you really kill Prince Bojji?
[19:42] ---
    Yes.
[19:45] ---
    By my own hand.
[19:52] ---
    Are you serious?
[19:53] ---
    I have to take responsibility...
[19:55] ---
    for not being able
    to protect Prince Bojji!
[19:58] ---
    You fool!
[19:59] ---
    Which one of us is the fool?!
[20:07] ---
    Don't do this.
[20:29] ---
    What have I... What have I...
[20:33] ---
    been doing?!
[20:54] ---
    Go ahead and strike my hand clean off!
