[00:01] Narrator
    There once was a powerless prince who
    saved a kingdom with his tiny courage.
[00:07] Narrator
    The courage to face challenges...
[00:10] Narrator
    The courage to never give up...
[00:12] Narrator
    The courage to trust others...
[00:15] Narrator
    A treasure chest of untold courage
    is now about to be opened.

SIGN    — The Treasure Chest of Courage —
[00:36] [SONG] Op
    The callous absurdity I've
    carried with me since birth
[00:41] [SONG] Op
    meant playing shadow tag to find my next meal
[00:47] [SONG] Op
    Bit by bit, my heart got bent out of shape
[00:50] [SONG] Op
    until I tuned out both
    the cheers and the jeers
[00:55] [SONG] Op
    That's how I survived my initial loneliness
[01:00] [SONG] Op
    Night falls and the darkness grows
[01:06] [SONG] Op
    blending in, coalescing
[01:11] [SONG] Op
    around so trivial a fate as my own
[01:15] [SONG] Op
    Hey, I want to get through to you
[01:18] [SONG] Op
    though I may only know commonplace words
[01:23] [SONG] Op
    It's so frustrating having to be like this
[01:26] [SONG] Op
    Hey, never mind that it may not be easy
[01:29] [SONG] Op
    to become angry or let yourself cry
[01:35] [SONG] Op
    because someone could be listening in
[01:38] [SONG] Op
    The only thing that's
    certain is the temperature
[01:44] [SONG] Op
    whether or not we can speak heart to heart
[01:52] Narrator
    After the fighting was over,
    Bojji took the throne as king.
[01:56] Narrator
    However, his best friend, Kage,
    had secretly disappeared.
SIGN    Bojji the King
[02:25] Sorii
    Many scars remain from all the fighting.
[02:29] Sorii
    As it stands, this budget
    will not be enough.
[02:31] Sorii
    Somehow, we must raise more funding.
[02:34] Sandeo
    The deterioration of the soldiers'
    barracks is also becoming an issue.
[02:37] Sandeo
    How are we going to address that?
[02:51] Hokuro/I
    King Bojji...
[02:59] Bebin
    King Bojji, do you not miss your
    friend now that he is gone?
[03:05] Bebin
    I see.
[03:07] Bebin
    I was thinking of going into
    town to conduct an inspection.
[03:10] Bebin
    How would you like to
    come along, King Bojji?
[03:13] Bebin
    Hokuro!
[03:14] Hokuro
    Y-Yes, sir!
[03:15] Bebin
    We're going into town. You come with us.
[03:18] Hokuro
    A-As you wish, sir!
[03:21] Hokuro/I
    I'm always a bit awkward
    around Master Bebin.
[03:25] Hokuro/I
    He has that scowl and everything.
[03:31] Bebin
    The town has mostly recovered,
[03:33] Bebin
    and it's on its way to being
    as busy as it was before.
[03:38] Clergyman
    Oh, King Bojji...
[03:40] Clergyman
    Go on, children.
[03:47] Child 1
    Hello.
[03:48] Child 2
    Hi!
[03:48] Child 3
    Hi!
[03:58] Hokuro
    King Bojji!
[03:59] Hokuro
    King Bojji!
[04:02] Hokuro
    Aw, not again. King Bojji...
[04:33] Boy A
    My clothes!
[04:35] Girl A
    Crying won't do any good.
[04:36] Boy B
    Just give them up.
[04:45] Girl A
    What's this? He can borrow those?
[04:47] Boy A
    You're sure?
[04:53] Boy A
    Thanks.
[04:57] Boy B
    Ha-ha! They're baggy on you!
[05:00] Girl A
    Say, are you by any chance the king?
[05:03] Boy B
    Huh?!
[05:05] Boy B
    You're right! It is the king!
[05:09] Boy B
    Wait up, King!
[05:22] Hokuro
    King Bojji!
[05:24] Hokuro
    King Bojji, thank goodness you're safe!
[05:26] Hokuro
    H-Huh?
[05:29] Hokuro
    K-King Bojji?!
[05:32] Boy A
    The king let me borrow his clothes.
[05:34] Boy A
    My clothes got ruined, you see.
[05:37] Hokuro
    King Bojji, you're always much too kind.
[05:44] Bebin
    King Bojji, helping others is good,
    but you are the king of this land.
[05:50] Bebin
    Were you to catch a cold, you could
    not defend the country if necessary.
[05:59] Bebin
    Now, let's get going.
[06:14] Older Sister
    Pippy!
[06:17] Older Sister
    Pippy!
[06:21] Hokuro
    Is something the matter?
[06:23] Older Sister
    Well, our pet bird has disappeared.
[06:28] Younger Sister
    Pippy!
[06:43] Bebin
    You want to help them find their bird?
[06:49] Bebin
    Very well. There's no guarantee
    that we'll find it, though.
[06:55] Older Sister
    Pippy!
[07:00] Older Sister
    Pippy!
[07:04] Boy B
    I'm exhausted!
[07:27] Younger Sister
    Pippy...
[07:53] Boy A
    King, I have something for you.
[08:01] Kage
    Old habits die hard. I sure
    did buy a huge loaf of bread.
[08:05] Kage
    I doubt I can eat all of this by
    myself. If only Bojji were here...
[08:18] Kage
    Hmm? What, are you hungry?
[08:22] Kage
    Heh heh. You like it?
[08:26] Kage
    Hmm? Where did you come from?
[08:30] Kage
    I bet you've got a family
    or friends, don't you?
[08:33] Kage
    If so, you should go home.
    They'll be worried about you.
[08:38] Kage
    Hmm?
[08:44] Kage
    Be careful flying home!
    And appreciate what you've got.
[08:50] Kage
    I wonder... how Bojji is doing now.
[08:58] Hokuro
    A leaf whistle.
[09:14] Older Sister
    Pippy!
[09:15] Younger Sister
    It's Pippy!
[09:21] Both Sisters
    Pippy!
[09:21] Both Sisters
    Pippy!
[09:40] Younger Sister
    Oh, Pippy!
[09:41] Older Sister
    Thank goodness you're all right.
[09:44] Bebin
    Sorry about that.
[09:46] Younger Sister
    Are you okay? Are you hurt?
[09:47] Older Sister
    I'm so glad.
[09:53] Children
    Thank you, King!
[09:55] Children
    See you later! Thank you!
[10:02] Hokuro
    It's great that Pippy got back
    safely, isn't it, King Bojji?
[10:06] Hokuro
    Now, we should get back to the castle, too.
[10:36] Bebin
    I'd like to know where he is. See to it.
[10:51] Kage
    Heh heh! I found a great spot.
    I think I'll turn in early today.
[10:57] Kage
    My bed!
[11:01] Kage
    Honestly, what's a guy to do?

    And so, carrying on in his footsteps,

SIGN    The Melancholy of King Daida
[11:29] Narrator
    The kingdom was about to
    take a new step forward.
[11:36] Daida
    Miranjo,
[11:38] Daida
    how do you like living like this?
    Are you starting to settle in a bit?
[11:42] Miranjo
    Yes...
[11:45] Daida
    I know you're just trying to be stoic.
[11:47] Miranjo
    Huh?
[11:48] Daida
    You said you wanted to do something
    for the country, right?
[11:52] Miranjo
    Yes.
[11:53] Daida
    Give it a little while longer.
[11:55] Daida
    There are those who still don't
    think too highly of us.
[12:00] Daida
    Let's take things slowly.
[12:04] Miranjo
    Thank you very much.
[12:06] Miranjo
    I understand how you feel, King Daida.
[12:12] Sorii
    King Daida!
[12:13] Daida
    What's all the fuss about?
[12:15] Sorii
    I'm terribly sorry, sire.
[12:19] Sorii
    We just received word
    that the Ranking judge
[12:21] Sorii
    will be coming to the castle soon!
[12:26] Daida
    I see.
[12:28] Daida
    Have the Big Four assemble
    in the throne room.
[12:31] Daida
    I'll be there shortly.
[12:32] Sorii
    Yes, sire.
[12:34] Daida
    Sorry, Miranjo. We'll talk again later.
[12:45] Bebin
    The judge, huh? Things are about to get busy.
[12:53] Bebin
    Lady Miranjo...
[12:55] Bebin
    What could she be doing in the library?
[13:00] Daida
    The judge will be visiting
    the kingdom soon.
[13:04] Daida
    As its king, I cannot afford
    to lose out a second time.
[13:10] Daida
    I want you to train me.
[13:12] Daida
    I need to be strong enough
    to defend the nation.
[13:16] Daida
    Please.
[13:19] (Flashback) Daida
    Then, Domas, let me spar with you.
[13:23] (Flashback) Daida
    Dispose of Apeas and Sandeo
    for not voting for me.
[13:57] Sorii
    King Daida has been training ever
    since the day we heard, huh?
[14:05] Bebin
    Hmm. The look on his face has
    become much more favorable.
[14:09] Sorii
    Yeah. That is the look of someone
    carrying a country on his shoulders.
[14:14] Daida
    We're not finished yet!
[14:15] Official
    King Daida...
[14:17] Official
    It is time for our meeting.
[14:21] Daida
    Excuse me. That will be enough for today.
[14:28] Craftsman
    Hey, what's the meaning of this?!
[14:31] Craftsman A
    What do you mean,
    construction has been halted?!
[14:34] Soldier C
    I don't know what else to tell you.
[14:36] Soldier C
    All I know is that until those above
    us settle on a reconstruction policy,
[14:39] Soldier C
    all construction is on hold.
[14:40] Craftsman A
    Without a job to do, we can't make a living!
[14:43] Daida
    Where are we on the matter of
    the deteriorating barracks?
[14:46] Official A
    Sire,
[14:47] Official A
    demolition work has gotten underway,
[14:49] Official A
    but the decision of whether
    to rebuild the barracks,
[14:51] Official A
    or whether to build something
    else has not yet been made.
[14:55] Daida
    Why the holdup? What's taking so long?
[14:58] Official A
    I-I beg your pardon, sire.
[15:03] Daida
    I'll see if I can come up with any
    good ideas about rebuilding it.
[15:08] Daida
    And if you have any ideas,
    feel free to speak up.
[15:11] Official A
    Y-Yes, sire.
[15:11] Official B
    Y-Yes, sire.
[15:12] Daida
    Delaying construction is
    putting others out, as well.
[15:16] Daida
    Continue the demolition as scheduled.
[15:18] Official A
    As you wish, sire.
[15:22] Daida
    Miranjo?
[15:23] Official B
    King Daida, begging your pardon,
[15:25] Official B
    but I need you to look
    over these documents.
[15:27] Daida
    Right...
[15:35] Sorii
    Do you mean it, sire?
[15:37] Daida
    Yes. I'd like to go as soon as tomorrow.
[15:39] Daida
    There may be things we can
    find out by touring the town.
[15:45] Bebin
    I think that's a good idea.
[15:47] Bebin
    The people will also be delighted.
[15:51] Townsperson A
    It's King Daida!
[15:53] Townsperson B
    Imagine, him coming here!
[15:55] Townsperson C
    King Daida!
[15:59] Sorii
    Yes, we are aware that there is a dispute
    over the matter of the barracks.
[16:02] Daida
    Now that the peace has been restored,
[16:05] Daida
    there isn't much need to bother
    rebuilding the barracks at all.
[16:08] Sorii
    True enough. But if that's the case,
     what should we build?
[16:32] Daida
    Are you all right?!
[16:37] Daida
    Your cane.
[16:40] Daida
    Wh-What is it?
[16:44] Daida
    Th...
[16:45] Daida
    ...a...
[16:48] Daida
    ..n...
[16:50] Daida
    ...k...
[16:52] Daida
    ...s.
[17:00] Daida
    "Thanks."
[17:06] Daida
    Sorii, Bebin, can I...
[17:10] Daida
    ever become the kind of king
[17:11] Daida
    who can stand by the people,
    the way Brother did?
[17:20] Sorii
    Imagine,
[17:21] Sorii
    hearing those words coming from King Daida.
[17:25] Bebin
    Now Prince Bojji is the one
    King Daida wants to be like?
[17:29] Soldier D
    Hurry! There's been an accident
    at the barracks demolition site!
[17:32] Soldier E
    Someone's been pinned under the rubble!
[17:38] Craftsman A
    Damn it, it won't budge!
[17:40] Craftsman B
    Hang in there!
[17:43] Daida
    Bebin! Sorii!
[17:45] Craftsman B
    K-King Daida?
[17:46] Daida
    Let's lift it off him!
[17:47] Craftsmen / Bebin / Sorii
    Right!
[17:48] Daida
    Ready, set...
[17:58] Craftsman A
    M-My arm!
[18:00] Daida
    Just sit tight! You'll be fine!
[18:08] Craftsman C
    Oh, amazing!
[18:09] Craftsman D
    He's healing him!
[18:14] Craftsman A
    King Daida! Thank you so much!
[18:17] Daida
    Hmph, you're making too much of it.
[18:19] Craftsman A
    Not just for that!
[18:20] Craftsman A
    We heard that you were the one who
    let the construction start up again!
[18:24] Craftsman B
    That's right! We've been able to work
    today because of you, King Daida!
[18:28] Craftsmen
    Yeah! Yeah!
[18:28] Craftsman A
    Thank you very much!
[18:30] Craftsmen
    Yeah, King Daida!
[18:33] Craftsmen
    Thank you very much!
[18:37] Sorii
    You are starting to feel right
    at home as king, aren't you?
[18:40] Daida
    Hmph!
[18:41] Daida
    No one asked you.
[18:43] Bebin
    King Daida,
[18:45] Bebin
    there is something I have to tell you.
[18:48] Daida
    Miranjo came all the way out here?
[18:50] Bebin
    Yes. Apparently, she has been
    visiting here for a month now.
[19:02] Miranjo
    Okay, everyone, hold out your hands.
[19:07] Miranjo
    You do know what will happen...
[19:11] Miranjo
    if you mess this up, don't you?
[19:15] Miranjo
    Here we go.
[19:19] Daida
    Miranjo!
[19:23] Children
    "Hello"!
[19:26] Daida
    Hello...
[19:29] Miranjo
    King Daida?
[19:35] Daida
    I had no idea you were teaching
    the children to read, write,
[19:38] Daida
    and even sign, too.
[19:40] Miranjo
    I apologize for not telling you.
[19:42] Miranjo
    The children kept begging me
    to read books to them, so...
[19:49] Miranjo
    When they said thanks, I just went
    ahead and ended up teaching them...
[20:03] Child E
    Teacher, come play with us!
[20:08] Daida
    Tell me, are your teacher's
    lessons easy to follow?
[20:12] Child A
    Mm-hmm! I can do addition now!
[20:15] Daida
    You can?
[20:16] Child G
    I've gotten so I can read books!
[20:19] Daida
    You have? That's great.
[20:21] Child H
    I can read books now, too!
[20:23] Daida
    Is that right?
[20:24] Child D
    Me too!
[20:24] Child C
    Me too!
[20:25] Child E
    Me too!
[20:32] Daida
    Miranjo...
[20:33] Miranjo
    Yes?
[20:35] Daida
    Let's start a school.
[20:37] Miranjo
    Huh?
[20:41] Daida
    I've been thinking about what to
    build on the site of the barracks.
[20:45] Daida
    I'm building a school. You'll teach there.
[20:49] Daida
    For the country's future,
    as well as the children's.
[20:53] Daida
    Will you do it?
[20:56] Daida
    Miranjo...
[20:59] Miranjo
    Yes.
[21:04] Miranjo
    Yes!
[21:05] Miranjo
    Thank you so much, King Daida.
