King Bosse.

Who is in the mirror?

Also, what are your real intentions?

Why do you ask?

I want to get King Daida back.

And you're telling that to me?

I've seen the darkness in the hearts of many people.

And I've tried to see through to what's deep inside.

Everyone who has stood by me

has been a kindhearted person.

Especially you.

The mirror's name is Miranjo.

And she's the person I hold most dear.

Someone is torn right now choking, choking back tears

The allure of strength

Comes with the lure of wickedness

This does not reach his ears

But right now the hero

Does not rely on strength

Entrust yourself

To these tiny hands now

Everything that has ever been loved

Every curse that has ever been befallen

And every desire that has ever been of love

Let them be enveloped by a protective light

The allure of strength

Comes with the lure of wickedness

This does not reach his ears

But right now the hero

Does not rely on strength

Entrust yourself

A shadow approaches

"What defines you?"

Episode 18

Battle with the Gods

Poison?

Dorshe...

They took Lady Miranjo away from me.

You're still hung up on that?!

I just wanted to relieve her of her suffering!

But...

I'm such a fool.

Everything turned out wrong!

You have to save her, please!

I beg you!

Apeas...

Antidote!

And... power!

Such warmth...

That's all I've got.

I've used up all of my potions and power.

You go and save her.

Why?!

Queen Hiling, I may betray you again!

Apeas, you rotten—

I don't understand it, myself.

I don't understand any of you anymore!

Your expression is full of confidence.

Why is that?

Because that boy...

Because Bojji will surely save us all.

That hope I felt back then...

I can sense it coming from him.

I see.

Domas!

Queen Hiling! I am terribly sorry!

But now, I am prepared to offer my life to Prince Bojji!

Me, too! This time, I will protect Prince Bojji at any cost!

I forgive you!

Now work as hard as you can.

Yes, ma'am!

So... you went underground, right?

Did you run into Bojji?

Yes, ma'am.

Prince Bojji ran into the Order of the Underworld, led by King Desha, and saved us—

no, he saved the whole kingdom!

He did what?!

King Desha? Who's that?

The king of the underworld, second in the Ranking of Kings!

Oh, him? And he...

Yes, ma'am! He did the most incredible thing!

He did?!

So, where is Bojji now?

Yes, where is he?

Huh?

Prince Bojji headed off in that direction.

Queen Hiling, excuse us, but we must be going.

Hokuro!

Right!

I'm going with them.

Apeas.

Good luck.

Yes, ma'am!

Dorshe, you go with them, too.

Huh? But...

I'll just slow everyone down at this point.

You can work better if I'm not around, right?

Hiling will be fine.

We'll be here with her.

Very well.

Miranjo is a child, a mother, and a teacher to me.

When I was younger, I traveled around to train as a warrior.

One day, I visited the magical land of the Houma Kingdom, so that I could fight some mages.

What are these?

Are they Father's memories?

Is he showing them to me?

In the Houma Kingdom, people could learn to use magic only gods could use,

and they were the first nation to defy the gods.

At the time, the gods ruled one country after another, enslaving them.

The people of Houma were the first to realize what was happening and stood up to them.

But from what I've been told,

the Houma Kingdom used their magic to commit every kind of atrocity there is.

It was there that I first met

Miranjo.

Miranjo's father was an outstanding wizard.

We were both fighting each other to the death.

And that's when I ended up killing him.

I had been wounded badly, and Miranjo's mother saved me.

Why?

She was so kind.

All of the people in her land were nice,

but she was so good-natured, it was alarming.

I stayed in the Houma Kingdom to watch Miranjo grow up.

She was brilliant and skilled in magic,

yet still kind-hearted, just like her mother.

Miranjo.

Be sure to build your own happiness on the happiness of others.

Okay!

The fighting with the gods intensified,

and I fought alongside them.

The Houma Kingdom had a series of victories,

but if they lost even once, they would fall for good.

The power of the gods was just that great.

As things progressed, the Houma Kingdom decided to join forces with the Gyakuza Kingdom.

The Gyakuza Kingdom?

The people of Houma believed that their two sides could come to an understanding.

But different countries have different cultures.

Gyakuza was the complete opposite of Houma.

The opposite?

Yeah.

Miranjo's mother never realized that until the very end.

This is the Gyakuza Kingdom.

The people of this land had always been ruled by outsiders and had everything taken from them.

They survived by deceiving others to protect their own interests.

It was their means of survival, and they felt justified.

It was their customs that defined the Gyakuzans' humanity.

The Houma Kingdom used all of their wisdom to reform the Gyakuza Kingdom.

They taught them magic, and Gyakuza benefited greatly.

But the Gyakuzans felt that kindness and consideration were weaknesses,

and they looked down on those who embraced them.

Money for medicine?

Take care of yourself.

They took advantage of Miranjo's mother's kindness.

Even knowing that, she was sure that she could get through to their hearts.

Gyakuza became prosperous.

However, they would never help Houma.

If things didn't turn out well, they abandoned their friends and ran away, every man for himself,

and when they did have the advantage, they committed all kinds of cruelty.

Then those acts were pinned on Houma, and they were saddled with the blame.

Gradually, Houma grew exhausted, and the gods' power increased.

And then...

Doctor? Doctor?

Oh, is something the matter?

Huh?

Where's your money?

Miranjo...

Run away, Miranjo!

Miranjo!

Once Gyakuza saw that the gods had the upper hand...

they betrayed Houma

and sided with the gods.

You're behind all of this?

I can't blame you.

Bojji!

You dumbass! I can't just leave you here and run away!

Bojji...

No!

Are you all right, Bojji and Kage?

Captain! Despa!

Bojji!

You fought well!

You are every bit my apprentice. I'm proud of you!

Yeah, Bojji really did fight well!

He's trying to protect us all!

Be sure to build your own happiness on the happiness of others.

Bojji, you just need to continue to grow.

You don't have to think of yourself as powerless!

It almost sounds as though you think you've already won.

Wh-What?!

So that's Miranjo.

You want me to smash you to pieces?!

You're not going to fight back?

Whether I want to or not, I am powerless on my own.

What the hell are you, anyway?!

Yes, what am I, anyway?

Something seems off.

Yes, it does.

Nonetheless, we will take her life.

Although now is not the time for that.

Ouken...

My spear acted as a lightning rod.

What choice was there?

The next one will strike true.

Brother...

I know.

You're not getting away!

Shirasampe is a technique that strikes a vital point with a foreign object to take your opponent by surprise.

I heard about it from Prince Despa.

He conducted the lightning through only the right side of his body!

Avoiding his head and heart!

So he's overcome lightning.

This is bad.

Everyone will be killed!

Damn it!

Captain!

Over here, Ouken!

Despa!

Your opponent is me, Despa!

Despa,

you have no aptitude for martial arts!

Why, that's not true.

You have a nasty habit of making assumptions.

In my head, I know what to do.

But my body...

Why am I the only one of us this weak?

My weapon is my analytical ability...

and my intuition.

His first attack will be a thrust.

I have not forsaken you. Not one bit.

Now, shall we take on that lightning together?

Brother!

Despa...

Ouken?

Brother.

Brother!

Is that you, Ouken?

Brother, you don't have to save me yet.

Yet?

There are still others that you have to save, aren't there?

Others? Who do you mean?

I will do whatever it takes to save you!

Despa!

Bojji! Despa is still alive!

That's Ouken's technique.

He misses your vital points, so he can enjoy watching you as you die slowly.

It's hopeless!

At this rate, Bojji is done for!

Is there anything I can do?

Anything... Anything!

Bojji!

No! No!

Bojji!

Today tried to put off getting torn away

But was absorbed into yesterday anyway

A new today tried to postpone the inevitable with a sigh

But you leapt in with a smile anyway

So I decided to extend the deadline I'd set for the end for just a little bit longer

If in just one more step the landscape is to change

If something is to change

You should shine the brightest

Even if others laugh, I'll be holding your hand

It can't just be anyone, it has to be you

No other tears will do

Light the way to a new tomorrow

Light the way to a new tomorrow

I'll be singing for you, waiting

I'll be singing right here, waiting
