[00:04] Beholder
    Fushi takes on numerous challenges in
    preparation for the Nokker attack in a year.
[00:11] Beholder
    But all of his efforts amount to nothing.
[00:14] Beholder
    During a break, he meets a girl
    named Eko at a settlement.
[00:18] Beholder
    His interaction with her provides new hints.
[00:24] (Flashback) Bon
    Amazing.
[00:26] (Flashback) Bon
    Did you make your own little
    Earth or something, Fushi?
[00:30] Beholder
    The range of Fushi's senses expanded further.
SIGN    The Value of Flesh
[02:30] Fushi
    Renril...
[02:32] Fushi
    I've never been to such a crowded town.
[02:36] Fushi
    It's going to take time until
    I'm ready to protect it.
[02:39] Fushi
    I hope it works out well.
[02:41] Kahaku
    Joaan, we've secured lodging.
[02:44] Kahaku
    Let's find a meal.
[02:45] Fushi
    Okay.
[02:47] Fushi
    How's your left arm?
[02:50] Fushi
    Any new information?
[02:52] Kahaku
    No, nothing in particular.
[02:53] Fushi
    It said it's learned to write, didn't it?
[02:57] Kahaku
    Yes.
[02:58] Fushi
    How did it communicate with other Nokkers?
[03:00] Fushi
    They can't write or speak, can they?
[03:10] Kahaku
    "We have always communicated
    through images."
[03:15] Kahaku
    "We don't need language."
[03:18] Kahaku
    Like the clay pot people, almost.
[03:20] Fushi
    Does it know what we're
    imagining, too, then?
[03:26] Kahaku
    "Unfortunately, we don't."
[03:29] Kahaku
    "Your bodies are made not to expose
    your thoughts to the outside."
[03:34] Kahaku
    "Stealing another's thoughts without consent
[03:37] Kahaku
    is not something we can do,
    even among other Nokkers."
[03:40] Fushi
    Is that really true?
[03:42] Kahaku
    We have no way of knowing.
[03:44] Fushi
    The man in black mentioned
    that a while back, too.
[03:47] Fushi
    That he can't control people's minds.
[03:50] Kahaku
    So, what do you think?
[03:52] Kahaku
    Do you think we can protect this town?
[03:54] Fushi
    I think so.
[03:56] Fushi
    As long as we follow the Guardians'
    plans, I think we'll be all right.
[04:01] Fushi
    Your family's taking command
    while you're away, right?
[04:05] Fushi
    It's good that you can trust
    them with your goals.
[04:08] Kahaku
    Let's strive to reclaim Parona and
    the others as soon as possible.
[04:13] Fushi
    Yeah. I'll do my best.
[04:16] Kahaku
    Truly, thank you for doing all this for me.
[04:20] Fushi
    Huh? For you?
[04:25] Fushi
    I mean, it's for everyone's sake, I guess.
[04:27] Kahaku
    Y-Yeah. I'm aware.
[04:30] Fushi
    The immortals Bon's looking for...
[04:33] Fushi
    Entities like me...
[04:35] Fushi
    More allies...
[04:37] Fushi
    I'm excited.
[04:40] Torta
    I will hereby choose the people
    who will be defending our future.
[04:45] Torta
    The Nokkers have warned that they would be
[04:48] Torta
    attacking Renril, the capital
    of the nation of Sonia.
[04:51] Torta
    We're down to less than six months.
[04:54] Torta
    Our nation will, of course, aid them.
[04:56] Torta
    To that end,
[04:58] Torta
    we will be choosing those among the
    Uralis army who are especially capable.
[05:02] Torta
    You will be risking your
    life for this mission.
[05:04] Torta
    I don't know if all of you will survive,
    or if even one of you will.
[05:08] Torta
    Either way, what is at question
    here is not your abilities,
[05:12] Torta
    but your willingness to
    commit your life with us.
[05:15] Torta
    I will ask several questions.
[05:17] Torta
    If your answer is "yes," remain.
[05:19] Torta
    If your answer is "no," leave.
[05:21] Bon
    Gods of Bennett, Monjo and Zumla...
[05:25] Bon
    I am about to commit a sin.
[05:27] Bon
    Please take pity on me.
[05:31] Torta
    Let's begin.
[05:32] Torta
    Who among you love our Kingdom
    of Uralis and our prince,
[05:35] Torta
    Bonchien Nicoli la Tasty Peach Uralis?
[05:42] Torta
    All right.
[05:43] Torta
    Who among you loves Fushi?
[05:48] Torta
    Well?
[05:48] Torta
    Does everyone here support Fushi?
[05:51] Soldier A
    Prince Bon's will is our will.
[05:54] Soldier A
    So long as Bon-sama does not say "no"
    to that question, neither will we.
[06:04] Torta
    All right, next.
[06:05] Torta
    Who among you have family,
    a lover, or a friend?
[06:07] Torta
    Who among you have at least
    one person to protect?
[06:13] Torta
    Who among you are nonetheless
    ready to give your one life
[06:16] Torta
    to us and sacrifice it for us?
[06:21] Torta
    Are none of you afraid of dying and
    leaving behind your loved ones?
[06:25] Torta
    Do none of you want to run away?
[06:37] Torta
    All right, the rest of you will be
    leaving as soon as Renril is ready.
[06:56] Torta
    Brother...
[06:58] Torta
    The ones we've chosen are waiting for us.
[07:11] Bon
    Why are you guys still here?
[07:14] Fen
    You mean us?
[07:16] Bon
    My grandmother and grandfather both went
    to the other side right after they passed.
[07:22] Fen
    As I died, I could feel
    Heaven waiting for me.
[07:27] Fen
    But I wasn't satisfied
    with how pathetic I was.
[07:31] Fen
    I didn't want to go above.
[07:33] Nixon
    I'm the same way.
[07:35] Nixon
    Unresolved business, I guess you could say.
[07:37] Nixon
    Though, now, you are the one
    keeping me in this world.
[07:43] Bon
    Unresolved business...
[07:48] Bon
    God will be judging me for sure
    this time, if things go my way.
[07:58] Kai
    Pleased to meet you.
[07:59] Kai
    You're the man who will take
    us to Renril, are you not?
[08:04] Bon
    Kai Renald Rawle!
[08:06] Kai
    You won't weed anyone out that way,
[08:09] Kai
    Prince Bonchien Nicoli
    la Tasty Peach Uralis.
[08:13] Bon
    H-How...
[08:15] Kai
    You're the only one who could guess my name
    before you've even seen my face, Bon-sama.
[08:22] Kai
    Why did you ask such questions?
[08:24] Kai
    What did you hope to accomplish
    by identifying the disloyal?
[08:29] Bon
    The mission awaiting those chosen today
[08:31] Bon
    will be, in some ways, worse than death.
[08:35] Bon
    So I wanted to give them
    an excuse to run away.
[08:40] Kai
    I see.
[08:41] Kai
    I suspected there was a reason.
[08:43] Kai
    I'm glad I chose the
    opposite answer on purpose.
[08:48] Kai
    Not to worry.
[08:49] Kai
    My loyalty is not so cheap that
    I would abandon my mission
[08:52] Kai
    because I'm afraid of a
    fate worse than death.
[08:56] Bon
    But you had an ill father, didn't you?
[09:00] Kai
    He passed away two months ago.
[09:02] Kai
    My life belongs to no one now.
[09:05] Kai
    So, Your Highness, who gave you your life?
[09:11] Hairo
    It was granted by the demon, Fushi.
[09:14] Hairo
    Many in the Church of Bennett
    don't believe Fushi's been sealed.
[09:18] Hairo
    I'm among them.
[09:20] Hairo
    And there are rumors that Fushi is
    capable of resurrecting the dead.
[09:25] Hairo
    If you are truly Prince Bon,
    you may have been given life by Fushi.
[09:30] Hairo
    In which case, Fushi may be a new god.
[09:34] Pocoa
    I'm sorry I brought a guest over when
    you were having an important discussion!
[09:39] Bon
    It's fine, Pocoa.
[09:41] Bon
    I called him over from the head
    church of the Church of Bennett.
[09:44] Bon
    We'll be heading to Renril together.
[09:46] Bon
    People will have to learn
    about this secret eventually.
[09:49] Bon
    It might as well be sooner
    rather than later.
[09:51] Bon
    For Renril's sake.
[10:08] Bon
    There are three of you.
[10:10] Bon
    There's one besides you
    two who lives in Renril.
[10:14] Bon
    He's going to be our liaison.
[10:16] Bon
    He'll inform us of the politics in Renril and
    provide communication with the royal family.
[10:23] Messar
    Hey, you made it.
[10:25] Messar
    Long time no see.
[10:28] Kahaku
    Can we trust them?
[10:30] Bon
    Trust who?
[10:32] Kahaku
    The people you've collected.
[10:36] Bon
    One has loyalty.
[10:37] Bon
    One has apostasy.
[10:39] Bon
    One has cunning.
[10:41] Bon
    All are worthy of trust.
[10:46] Bon
    I'm coming in.
[10:48] Fushi
    Bon!
[10:49] Bon
    Hey, it's been a while.
[10:50] Bon
    Come with me. There are
    some people I want you to meet.
[10:53] Fushi
    You mean the immortal allies
    you mentioned before?
[10:56] Bon
    Yeah.
[10:57] Bon
    But they aren't that just yet.
[11:00] Bon
    They're people who have the
    potential to become immortal.
[11:03] Fushi
    What do you mean by that?
[11:05] Bon
    I can't be sure until they die once.
[11:08] Bon
    So, for now, they're just ordinary people.
[11:11] Bon
    I brought them here as ordinary people.
[11:16] Bon
    Listen, Fushi.
[11:17] Bon
    You need to acquire the three people you're
    about to meet before the Nokkers get here.
[11:22] Fushi
    What for?
[11:23] Bon
    Insurance.
[11:24] Bon
    In case you lose more vessels.
[11:30] Fushi
    Is that what you meant by immortal?
[11:32] Fushi
    I won't accept such allies!
[11:35] Bon
    I've already told them about you.
[11:37] Bon
    Stand tall, Fushi the immortal.
[11:40] Fushi
    Hey, wait, Bon!
[11:48] Bon
    These are your new allies.
[11:54] Kai
    Kai Renald Rawle of Uralis.
[11:57] Kai
    We've met several times before.
[11:59] Kai
    I look forward to working with you.
[12:02] Hairo
    Hairo Rich, former Bennett guard.
[12:05] Messar
    So you're the demon that
    everyone's so scared of?
[12:08] Messar
    You're just a kid!
[12:09] Messar
    Are you serious, Bon?
[12:11] Bon
    He's Messar.
[12:15] Fushi
    I'm Fushi.
[12:16] Fushi
    I'll work hard to protect this town with you.
[12:19] Kai
    Thank you.
[12:22] Messar
    Guess we're stuck with each
    other, Mister Immortal.
[12:45] Bon
    Everyone, ready your requests.
[12:47] Bon
    We're going to meet the princess.
[12:52] Alme
    So you're the men who've
    gathered to protect Renril.
[12:57] Alme
    There are fewer of you than I'd expected.
[13:00] Bon
    Yes, for now.
[13:02] Bon
    Eventually, we hope to gather far
    more men to protect the city.
[13:04] Alme
    We shall do the same.
[13:07] Alme
    So, what is it that you need?
[13:10] Kai
    We need the cooperation
    of the citizens of Renril.
[13:12] Kai
    We request that you address
    them on our behalf.
[13:16] Hairo
    We request your soldiers'
    cooperation, as well.
[13:18] Messar
    The castle.
[13:19] Messar
    Give us the blueprints.
[13:20] Messar
    And a map of the underground.
[13:23] Fushi
    All of Renril.
[13:27] Alme
    I see.
[13:28] Alme
    If you are to make demands,
    you ought to first give.
[13:31] Alme
    And obtain it for yourself.
[13:33] Alme
    The people's trust, the soldiers' trust,
[13:35] Alme
    and the castle's trust,
    if that's what you request.
[13:37] Alme
    Then, Renril will be yours.
[13:41] Fushi
    Do you think you have time for that?
[13:43] Fushi
    The Nokkers could eliminate everyone
    in this town at any moment.
[13:47] Fushi
    They begin to move once
    they're about this big.
[13:51] Fushi
    They could even be hiding within
    the castle walls right now.
[13:54] Fushi
    If that happens, you're dead meat.
[13:56] Renril Guard
    Watch your mouth!
[13:57] Renril Guard
    How dare you speak that way to our princess?!
[13:59] Bon
    I apologize!
[14:00] Bon
    He's still young.
[14:02] Alme
    I accept his assertions.
[14:06] Alme
    But my response to your demands stands.
[14:12] Alme
    I hope the situation will
    have changed next time.
[14:17] Bon
    Fushi! What was that attitude?
[14:20] Bon
    We need to gain the princess's trust!
[14:22] Fushi
    There is no trust.
[14:24] Fushi
    Not between us, either.
[14:26] Bon
    Are you angry?
[14:29] Fushi
    I've used the people I've met
    for battle countless times.
[14:34] Fushi
    I've always felt guilty about it.
[14:37] Fushi
    I've never once been able to brush that aside.
[14:39] Fushi
    You know that, too, don't you, Bon?
[14:43] Fushi
    Yet, now you're telling me to
    use those three for battle.
[14:54] Bon
    If I were you, I'd do that.
[14:56] Bon
    Your refusal to use your capabilities
    is the same as not saving anyone.
[15:14] Kahaku
    Is something the matter?
[15:15] Kahaku
    His eyes were twitching.
[15:20] Fushi
    I can't trust him anymore.
[15:23] Kahaku
    A fight, huh?
[15:24] Kahaku
    You don't have to be with him, you know.
[15:27] Kahaku
    I've always found him unfit for you.
[15:31] Kahaku
    You have me.
[15:33] Kahaku
    We'll always be together.
[15:40] Messar
    I'm gonna lose again?!
[15:43] Kai
    It isn't over yet.
[15:44] Fushi
    Messar, was it?
[15:48] Fushi
    Bon told me to ask you about Renril.
[15:51] Fushi
    I want to make a base from scratch.
[15:53] Fushi
    What do I do?
[15:55] Messar
    You'll need the princess's permission.
[15:57] Messar
    Also, don't talk down to me.
[15:59] Fushi
    Fine, I'll do it myself.
[16:01] Fushi
    I can't stand around waiting.
[16:03] Messar
    Do it how?
[16:05] Fushi
    I can figure it out using money.
[16:07] Messar
    Stop.
[16:09] Messar
    The princess is strict when
    it comes to outsiders.
[16:11] Messar
    Do things properly.
[16:13] Fushi
    Don't tell me what to do when
    all you do is play games.
[16:16] Kai
    Why don't you join us?
[16:19] Kai
    It's mealtime soon.
[16:20] Kai
    You'll only be a nuisance in town.
[16:23] Kai
    Let's play a game.
[16:29] Messar
    Perfect.
[16:30] Messar
    Go ahead and play my game.
[16:31] Kai
    Connect three vertically or horizontally,
    and you can take a piece from your opponent.
[16:37] Kai
    Once you're down to two, you lose.
[16:41] Fushi
    I only have three pieces.
[16:44] Messar
    Just like the Nokkers versus us.
[16:46] Kai
    The Fly Rule applies here.
[16:48] Kai
    Until I'm down to three pieces,
    I can only place adjacently.
[16:52] Kai
    But you can move anywhere you want.
[16:55] Kai
    Like this.
[16:56] Kai
    Place a piece here to prevent
    one of yours from being taken.
[17:01] Kai
    Messar loves this game, yet he's bad at it.
[17:04] Messar
    What?!
[17:05] Kai
    You put yourself at a disadvantage by
    trying too hard to win in the early game.
[17:13] Fushi
    Is that wound from when you
    were in the Uralis army?
[17:17] Kai
    This one? No.
[17:19] Kai
    Is it something you can
    fix with your powers?
[17:22] Fushi
    Nah, I can't.
[17:23] Fushi
    How much have you heard about me?
[17:26] Kai
    That if you remember me, I can have
    eternal life even after death.
[17:31] Fushi
    That's an exaggeration.
[17:33] Fushi
    Do you really want me using your body?
[17:36] Kai
    No.
[17:38] Kai
    I hear our enemies say that
    flesh bodies are unnecessary.
[17:41] Kai
    That's what Bon-sama told me.
[17:43] Kai
    This battle is one of control
    between the spirit and the body.
[17:46] Kai
    It requires an immortal body to fight.
[17:50] Kai
    I used to live with my
    father and grandmother.
[17:55] Kai
    My father was a weaponsmith in a small town.
[17:58] Kai
    I used to help occasionally.
[18:01] Kai
    We made swords for Uralis's army.
[18:03] Kai
    It was noble work.
[18:09] (Flashback) Kai's Father
    Fool!
[18:11] Kai
    But at about the time my
    grandmother's illness worsened,
[18:15] Kai
    my father became harsh toward me.
[18:19] Kai
    Every day was a living hell.
[18:21] Kai
    I couldn't wait to escape.
[18:24] Kai
    Then, one day...
[18:27] Kai
    I felt as though the Nokkers might
    free me from my miserable life.
[18:34] (Flashback) Kai's Father
    We're getting out, Mom!
[18:54] Kai
    The Nokkers never saved me.
[18:58] (Flashback) Man A
    Hey, over here!
[18:59] (Flashback) Man B
    Help!
[19:00] (Flashback) Man C
    Gotcha!
[19:02] (Flashback) Man D
    Okay, pull it up!
[19:06] (Flashback) Man E
    Put your back into it!
[19:20] (Flashback) Young Bon
    It sucks that your village got destroyed.
[19:22] (Flashback) Young Bon
    You can come to my place if you want.
[19:26] Kai
    I fled and joined the Uralis army.
[19:32] Kai
    Some time passed, and my grandmother died.
[19:36] Kai
    And then...
[19:39] Kai
    it was my father's turn.
[19:41] (Flashback) Kai's Father
    Kai...
[19:42] (Flashback) Kai's Father
    I'm sorry for everything.
[19:45] (Flashback) Kai's Father
    Thank you.
[19:48] Kai
    That's when I realized that
    I was glad I hadn't died.
[19:53] Kai
    If I had died, my story would have been
    one that concluded with my having held
[19:59] Kai
    a pointless grudge against my father.
[20:02] Kai
    I started to feel that life is worth
    living for as long as you can.
[20:09] Fushi
    Uh-huh.
[20:11] Kai
    At times, the body becomes
    a guide for the spirit.
[20:15] Kai
    I disagree with the Nokkers,
[20:17] Kai
    even if they take my body and
    make me the same as them.
[20:25] Kai
    It's over.
[20:30] Bon
    But with your superpowers,
    the pieces come back to life.
[20:46] Fushi
    Eko.
[20:48] Fushi
    What's wrong?
[20:55] Fushi
    The dust cloud?
[20:58] Kai
    Eko-san's been curious about
    that area this whole time.
[21:02] Kai
    I hear the clay pot people are
    very sensitive to change.
[21:06] Kai
    Shall we go, Fushi-san?
[21:08] Kai
    Let's win the trust of the people.
[21:17] Man F
    I know it's an old building,
[21:19] Man F
    but I never thought it
    would suddenly collapse.
[21:21] Woman A
    The foundation must have been rotten.
[21:23] Woman A
    What shall we do?
[21:25] Fushi
    I've already acquired this place,
[21:27] Fushi
    on the third day after coming to Renril.
[21:30] Kai
    So you can build it, then.
[21:32] Fushi
    Yeah.
[21:32] Fushi
    I want to rebuild this entire town.
[21:34] Kai
    I suspected as much.
[21:37] Kai
    Sir.
[21:39] Kai
    Would you allow us to take care of it?
[21:43] Fushi (Booze Man)
    If you could just make
    an enclosure around here,
[21:46] Fushi (Booze Man)
    I'll rebuild it for you in a snap.
[21:50] Man E
    You will?
[21:51] Woman A
    There must be a trick.
[21:53] Woman A
    Just so you know, we don't have any money.
[21:56] Fushi (Booze Man)
    I don't need any money.
[21:58] Fushi (Booze Man)
    Just let me use the area behind your home.
[22:12] Fushi
    Here we go.
[22:30] Alme
    What?!
[22:32] Alme
    They rebuilt the water wheel house overnight?
[22:35] Alme
    Those people did?
[22:36] Alme
    With the cooperation of the people?
[22:38] Renril Guard B
    Yes.
[22:39] Renril Guard B
    But apparently, only one man went inside.
[22:43] Renril Guard B
    The town is abuzz talking about it.

    "Take it for yourself," said Princess Alme.
[24:40] Beholder
    Messar and Alme,
    Hairo and the citizen soldiers...
[24:46] Beholder
    In conversing with Fushi,
    they teach him of their secret pasts.
