**[00:03] (Flashback) ELSA**
Kai!
**[00:05] (Flashback) GANDAL**
Damn you, woman!
**[00:12] (Flashback) ELSA**
Kai...
**[00:14] (Flashback) ELSA**
I'm sorry, but I can't...
**[00:20] (Flashback) KAI**
Macaques!
**[00:21] (Flashback) CHIEF MACAQUE**
Please come to our fiefdom.
***SIGN*** The Great God Kanae
**[01:57] NA**
"The Great God Kanae".
**[02:02] KOROR WOMAN**
She seems to have vomited up all the pith.
**[02:04] KOROR WOMAN**
She drank the yurak antidote, too.
**[02:07] POREK**
We've done everything we can.
**[02:10] POREK**
I hope she survives.
**[02:14] POREK**
Either way, I must report this to our lord.
**[02:20] POREK**
My lord, what is this?
**[02:22] KAI**
They just suddenly showed up, and...
**[02:24] CHIEF MACAQUE**
My name is Torud.
**[02:26] TORUD**
O great god Kanae, hear our petition.
**[02:31] KAI**
What do you want?
**[02:33] POREK**
You are troubling our lord. Explain yourselves.
**[02:36] TORUD**
The land has become corrupted.
**[02:39] POREK**
What?!
**[02:40] KAI**
What does that mean?
**[02:43] POREK**
Well...
**[02:44] TORUD**
The macaque lands are called Heju.
**[02:49] TORUD**
Because of him, the land and water
of Heju have become corrupted.
**[02:56] TORUD**
All our food is gone.
**[02:59] TORUD**
All we can do is wait to be destroyed...
**[03:03] TORUD**
by the corrupted god...
the evil god... the diabo.
**[03:07] KAI**
Diabo?
**[03:09] VALLEY GOD**
*Diabo! Diabo!*
**[03:14] VALLEY GOD**
*Destroy him! Destroy him!*
**[03:17] POREK**
My lord!
**[03:25] POREK**
What is the matter?
**[03:27] KAI**
I'm fine.
**[03:33] KAI**
We were enemies engaged in mortal
combat until a moment ago.
**[03:38] KAI**
And now you want me to save you?
**[03:41] TORUD**
Please...
**[03:42] KAI**
You're asking for too much!
**[03:45] KAI**
People died in Lag Village
because you attacked us!
**[03:49] MOHAWK**
You killed many of us, too!
**[03:54] MOHAWK**
Master Torud resents you, too!
**[03:58] MOHAWK**
You killed our kin!
**[04:00] MOHAWK**
He swallowed that pain to make
his request, and you refuse him?
**[04:04] TORUD**
Enough!
**[04:06] MOHAWK**
If you refuse our request, we will
attack the human village again!
**[04:13] KAI**
You bastards!
**[04:14] KAI**
If you do that, you won't get away with it!
**[04:18] KAI**
I'll kill every last one of you!
**[04:22] TORUD**
Please have mercy!
**[04:23] TORUD**
Apologize to the great god!
**[04:28] MOHAWK**
We attacked your village because
we have nowhere to live.
**[04:33] MOHAWK**
Heju is corrupted and no longer habitable.
**[04:36] MOHAWK**
We need new land.
**[04:38] KAI**
I don't care. Leave!
**[04:42] TORUD**
Great god?
**[04:52] POREK**
My lord...
**[04:53] KAI**
How is Elsa?
**[04:55] POREK**
We've finished treating her.
**[04:58] POREK**
The rest depends on the
strength of her life force.
**[05:02] KAI**
I see...
**[05:03] POREK**
How will you respond to their request?
**[05:06] KAI**
This wouldn't have happened to Elsa
if they hadn't attacked the village.
**[05:12] KAI**
I'm not doing anything for them.
**[05:14] POREK**
But the diabo is—
**[05:16] KAI**
I don't care!
**[05:18] POREK**
My lord, the koror happened
to witness their petition,
**[05:25] POREK**
which was made in accordance with ancient laws.
**[05:28] POREK**
You cannot ignore it.
**[05:31] POREK**
I know this is difficult, given
your feelings on the matter.
**[05:36] POREK**
However, this is how the
arbitration god has always been.
**[05:41] KAI**
What?
**[05:42] POREK**
In our language, he is the arbitration god.
**[05:45] POREK**
In the language of macaques,
he is the great god Kanae.
**[05:48] POREK**
We call him by different names,
but we worship the same god.
**[05:53] POREK**
The god's great power transcends the barriers
between races to watch over all things.
**[06:02] POREK**
And when the balance of the world
is disrupted, he corrects it.
**[06:10] KAI**
Sounds like a pretty big responsibility.
**[06:13] KAI**
It's like you're telling me to save the world.
**[06:16] POREK**
Broadly speaking, yes.
**[06:19] KAI**
What?
**[06:20] KAI**
You expect me to do that?
**[06:24] POREK**
You received the god's protection.
**[06:29] POREK**
And the valley god is far more powerful
than the numerous land gods.
**[06:37] POREK**
It is fiercer as well.
**[06:40] POREK**
Using that power to help the world
is the arbitration god's destiny.
**[06:53] KAI**
You're still here?
**[07:08] KAI**
I'm supposed to save the world?
**[07:11] KAI**
The valley god's power is just
that special and incredible, huh?
**[07:19] KAI**
Using that power to help the world is
the arbitration god's—is my destiny?
**[07:25] KAI**
And if I don't, those monkeys
will attack the village again?
**[07:32] KAI**
Why?!
**[07:34] KAI**
Why did you give me your power?
**[07:47] ARUWE**
Don't!
**[07:51] ARUWE**
Think of the poor flowers...
**[08:04] ARUWE**
I wonder what happened.
**[08:06] ARUWE**
He scared me.
**[08:09] POREK**
You seem to be fluent in the human language.
**[08:13] TORUD**
He learns quickly.
**[08:15] MOHAWK**
The human language is difficult. A hassle.
**[08:20] POREK**
He has returned.
**[08:29] KAI**
I'm going to Lag Village.
**[08:30] MOHAWK**
Then you refuse our petition?
**[08:34] KAI**
I'm still thinking about it!
**[08:37] KAI**
Besides, they'll be worried
if I don't return at once.
**[08:44] KAI**
Take care of Elsa.
**[08:47] POREK**
Very well.
**[08:51] TORUD**
Will the great god Kanae come to Heju?
**[08:55] POREK**
He may not give you an answer now,
but my lord is not the type to run.
**[09:02] POREK**
That is what I believe.
**[09:14] BASCO**
Kai's back!
**[09:16] RAHAT**
Hey, you're okay.
**[09:18] MANSO**
Where's that bastard Gandal?
**[09:20] KAI**
I couldn't find him.
**[09:22] TURAL**
Then that froggy bastard really did get away.
**[09:26] MANSO**
Elsa, too?
**[09:28] KAI**
Yeah...
**[09:30] MANSO**
That's a shame.
**[09:31] BASCO**
You must be tired. You should rest.
**[09:34] KAI**
Actually, before that,
there's something I need to tell the baron.
**[09:39] BASCO**
The baron?
**[09:41] VEZIN**
The macaques will attack again?
**[09:44] KAI**
Yes.
**[09:46] OFFICER A**
Damn those macaques!
**[09:49] OFFICER B**
Those savage demi-humans love to kill.
**[09:53] OFFICER C**
Our only choice is to wipe the brutes out.
**[09:59] BASCO**
We'll send messengers to the other villages
so they don't let their guard down.
**[10:02] FLYNN**
The count in the local capital
should be notified, too.
**[10:05] OFFICER A**
We'll split up, then.
**[10:07] BASCO**
Hey.
**[10:08] KAI**
Yes, sir.
**[10:11] VEZIN**
Kai.
**[10:11] KAI**
Huh?
**[10:12] VEZIN**
You performed impressively in the battle.
**[10:16] VEZIN**
I have high hopes for you in the future.
**[10:19] KAI**
I'll do everything I can.
**[10:22] AKUI**
It's Akui, sir.
**[10:25] AKUI**
I brought food.
**[10:31] AKUI**
Sir?
**[10:36] LILISA**
Where's my sister?
**[10:39] KAI**
Lilisa...
**[10:40] LILISA**
Where is she?
**[10:42] LILISA**
You said you'd bring her back.
**[10:44] KAI**
I'm sorry. I actually... Elsa is...
**[10:48] JOSE**
You're Lilisa, aren't you?
**[10:51] KAI**
Lady Jose...
**[10:54] LILISA**
You said you'd bring her back.
**[10:58] LILISA**
You liar!
**[11:03] JOSE**
Kai...
**[11:06] JOSE**
Many lives are lost in every battle.
**[11:09] JOSE**
Perhaps the land gods want us to fight.
**[11:15] JOSE**
It's as though they push us to
fight and defeat one another
**[11:19] JOSE**
to separate the strong from the weak.
**[11:22] JOSE**
In this way, wars kill many of the weak.
**[11:26] JOSE**
More humans will die in the future.
**[11:28] JOSE**
If not for this battle, then Elsa...
**[11:33] LAG SOLDIER A**
Did we remove all of them?
**[11:35] LAG SOLDIER B**
Just a few more.
**[11:41] KAI**
The macaques...
**[11:43] JOSE**
I wonder if they have anyone
to cry for them.
**[11:47] KAI**
They did this to themselves.
**[11:51] OLHA**
We're matching.
**[11:54] JOSE**
Brother...
**[11:59] OLHA**
Are these the quarry you killed?
**[12:05] OLHA**
Why is your expression so dark?
**[12:07] OLHA**
You should be happier.
**[12:09] OLHA**
You killed all those monkeys.
**[12:11] OLHA**
You should be proud.
**[12:14] KAI**
I don't feel proud.
**[12:16] OLHA**
What? But you should be!
**[12:21] OLHA**
If I hadn't been cursed,
I could've done this, too.
**[12:25] OLHA**
It should've been Moloch Olha who
distinguished himself in battle!
**[12:31] OLHA**
If the Moloch family heir had achieved that,
**[12:34] OLHA**
news of it would've reached the kingdom
and improved our family's status!
**[12:39] OLHA**
It would've ultimately led
to Lag Village prospering!
**[12:44] OLHA**
These should've been my quarry.
**[12:47] OLHA**
Damn them!
**[12:49] JOSE**
Brother, desecrating corpses
won't bring you any glory!
**[12:53] OLHA**
It's intolerable.
**[12:54] OLHA**
I won't allow it!
**[12:58] KAI**
Stop!
**[13:00] OLHA**
Let go of me!
**[13:02] JOSE**
Brother!
**[13:03] OLHA**
Don't get carried away.
**[13:05] OLHA**
You won't outshine me forever.
**[13:08] KAI**
I hate the macaques, too!
**[13:10] KAI**
But if I could make them stop attacking...
**[13:18] OLHA**
That's impossible.
**[13:20] OLHA**
Humans and demi-humans have killed
each other for generations.
**[13:25] KAI**
But then...
**[13:26] KAI**
How long are we supposed to
keep killing each other?
**[13:29] KAI**
We can't keep doing this forever.
**[13:37] OLHA**
How dare that boy lecture me?
**[13:40] OLHA**
He's not even a guardian bearer.
**[13:42] JOSE**
I'm not so sure.
**[13:44] OLHA**
Don't be foolish.
**[13:48] KAI**
Let me go investigate the macaques.
**[13:51] KAI**
I'll be back in a few days.
**[13:54] VEZIN**
What? You've just returned,
yet you want to leave the village again?
**[14:00] VEZIN**
You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
**[14:03] KAI**
No, nothing.
**[14:06] VEZIN**
No matter. You're not a fool.
**[14:10] VEZIN**
I'm sure you have something in mind.
**[14:13] VEZIN**
There's something I should tell you.
**[14:16] VEZIN**
Something the strong should keep in mind.
**[14:19] VEZIN**
You demonstrated strength nearly
equal to a guardian bearer's.
**[14:23] VEZIN**
You possess strength.
**[14:25] VEZIN**
Even if there was a wall no ordinary
person could overcome,
**[14:30] VEZIN**
with your strength you could
smash right through it.
**[14:33] KAI**
My strength...
**[14:35] VEZIN**
Even when faced with the jaws
of a beast, you won't run.
**[14:41] VEZIN**
You could seize its jaws and rip
them apart to move forward.
**[14:46] VEZIN**
Your strength is god-given.
**[14:49] VEZIN**
Do not hesitate to use it.
**[14:52] KAI**
Yes, sir.
**[14:55] MANSO**
Here, a new spear. Take it with you.
**[14:58] KAI**
Thanks.
**[15:00] MANSO**
Even if you find the apes, run away
if you think you're in danger. Got it?
**[15:04] KAI**
Yeah.
**[15:06] JOSE**
Kai.
**[15:10] JOSE**
You should take a new knife, too.
**[15:12] KAI**
What? But that's yours.
**[15:14] JOSE**
It's fine. Think of it as a good luck charm.
**[15:18] KAI**
But it's so valuable.
**[15:20] KAI**
It'd be a waste to use it.
**[15:22] JOSE**
It's been passed down in the Moloch family.
**[15:25] JOSE**
Don't hesitate when you use it.
**[15:28] JOSE**
If you do, you won't be able
to fight at full strength.
**[15:32] JOSE**
That's what we say in our family.
**[15:45] KAI**
I wonder if I'll get to come back.
**[15:49] KAI/ID**
*Can I really do what I'm about to attempt?*
**[15:56] KAI**
No, I've already decided to do it.
**[15:58] KAI**
I'll do everything I can.
**[16:05] KECHAK**
Okay, let's bury it all.
**[16:07] KOROR A**
But why do we have to do this?
**[16:10] KECHAK**
The humans will find the carriage
and bodies if we leave them here.
**[16:14] KECHAK**
What if they use them to track down the valley?
**[16:19] TORUD**
You'll fulfill our request?
**[16:22] MOHAWK**
Is that true?
**[16:24] KAI**
I'm not a liar.
**[16:26] KAI**
But let's make one thing clear.
**[16:29] KAI**
Don't attack the human village
while I'm gone. Got it?
**[16:33] TORUD**
Very well. We swear it.
**[16:35] MOHAWK**
We won't attack them.
**[16:40] KAI/ID**
*His hair looks kind of like a mohawk.*
**[16:44] KAI/ID**
*"Mohawk?" How do I know that word?*
**[16:47] KAI/ID**
*Oh, right. Must be another strange memory.*
**[16:50] TORUD**
In that case, come with us, great god.
**[16:53] POREK**
Wait.
**[16:54] POREK**
There is bad blood between
the humans and macaques.
**[17:00] POREK**
Traveling with your human appearance
may prove a hindrance.
**[17:06] ARUWE**
Are these koror warrior clothes?
**[17:09] KAI**
Porek said they'll think I'm
a koror if I wear them.
**[17:13] ARUWE**
These belonged to the greatest
warrior of our people.
**[17:18] ARUWE**
You look like a koror warrior from head to toe.
**[17:23] KAI**
Well, I'm off.
**[17:25] ARUWE**
Um...
**[17:27] ARUWE**
You scared me yesterday when you got
angry and yelled in front of the grave.
**[17:33] ARUWE**
But now, you're different.
**[17:36] ARUWE**
I'm not sure how to put it, but it's
like you're trying to become a new god.
**[17:42] KAI**
A new god?
**[17:47] KAI**
Lilisa was worried about you, too.
**[17:50] KAI**
I'll be gone for a while,
but I hope you'll get better.
**[18:01] POREK**
My lord.
**[18:05] KAI**
That's Adohra-kahn's axe.
**[18:07] KAI**
What's that doing here?
**[18:09] POREK**
We took it after the battle.
**[18:13] POREK**
It will be useful to you in similar battles.
**[18:21] KAI**
It's heavy.
**[18:39] NOBLE A**
We received news from Lag Village.
**[18:42] NOBLE B**
The apes are swarming again.
**[18:46] NOBLE B**
The eastern frontier is in
terrible shape.
**[18:49] NOBLE A**
The apes aren't the only things
we have to worry about.
**[18:53] NOBLE B**
In any case, it is the remote villages
whose blood will be spilled.
**[18:58] NOBLE B**
This has nothing to do with us.
**[19:00] NOBLE A**
Don't say that.
**[19:02] NOBLE A**
We enjoy peace here because
they kill the demi-humans.
**[19:07] NOBLE B**
Nothing will change for a hundred more years.
**[19:10] NOBLE B**
After all, our count is blessed
by the greatest god in this region.
**[19:18] TORUD**
This is our village, Heju.
**[19:24] KAI**
Let's go.
**[19:37] KAI**
What are those?
**[19:38] TORUD**
Graves for warriors.
**[19:41] MOHAWK**
We plant saplings when warriors die.
**[19:44] MOHAWK**
They become part of the forest.
**[19:47] MOHAWK**
Many of our kin died in
the battle at Lag Village.
**[19:50] MOHAWK**
The graves of the ones you
killed may be here, too.
**[19:59] KAI**
Did they die at Lag Village, too?
**[20:02] MOHAWK**
No. They were killed by the diabo.
**[20:06] KAI**
The diabo...
**[20:10] KAI**
Can you tell me more about the diabo?
**[20:14] POREK**
I've never met him. I only know the legends.
**[20:18] POREK**
They say he has appeared in
our world several times,
**[20:24] POREK**
and it was the previous arbitration god,
blessed by the valley god, who defeated him.
**[20:32] KAI**
My predecessor...
**[20:34] POREK**
The story has been passed down as
legend among the various races.
**[20:39] KAI**
I see.
**[20:40] POREK**
But if the diabo, who has been gone
for so long, has reappeared,
**[20:47] POREK**
then perhaps it's a sign that great
change is coming to our world.
**[21:05] POREK**
This is the corruption?
**[21:07] TORUD**
A diabo is a cursed god.
**[21:10] TORUD**
It takes the power of the land gods and
greedily consumes the land's blessings.
**[21:15] MOHAWK**
It's even worse up ahead.
**[21:23] TORUD**
Abridor, our chief, is up there.
**[21:34] ABRIDOR**
Toniroente?
**[21:36] TORUD**
Tsugusekiggen zusenfuka.
**[21:39] ABRIDOR**
I was told to speak in the language of humans.
**[21:43] ABRIDOR**
Regardless, thank you for coming.
**[21:46] ABRIDOR**
Forgive my appearance, great god Kanae.
**[23:25] SIGN**
Next Time
**[23:26] NA**
An evil god born from greed and arrogance.
**[23:29] NA**
It is a glitch that has appeared in the world.
**[23:33] NA**
Next time, "Diabo".
**[23:35] NA**
That evil god will lead the world to its end.
**[23:36] SIGN**
Diabo
