For now, I think we should take these magic beasts back to the underworld.
Mitsumata says
that there's an underground entrance to the underworld below here.
There's something like that down there? I had no idea.
What is going on here?
Master Kage, with that decided, please move quickly.
Master Domas is on his way to destroy that entrance.
Eh?!
Why would Domas do that??
He was ordered to by King Bosse.
Domas is positively against us.
What is King Bosse planning?
Bojji,
are you all right? About Domas, I mean.
I know what you mean. I'd want to avoid seeing him, if possible.
Hey, Bojji!
I know this may be painful, but we have to take these guys home.
Right?
It's all right. You're a lot stronger now.
You're not the same kid you were before.
Besides,
you'll have me--you'll have us with you!
Now that that's settled, let's go!
Prince Bojji, we're going to remain here,
so that Queen Hiling and the others can regain their strength.
Do not worry; I will take them someplace safe.
And you can leave Bojji to me.
He truly has grown admirably in such a short time.
Yes. He is...
...my boy, after all. It's only natural.
The doorway to the underworld is up ahead.
Someone's coming.
You stay back.
R-Right.
The Order of the Underworld!
Right now, there is someone choking back tears
Shake off the power that comes from malice
Sure, you can't hear
But right now the hero doesn't need power
Let yourself be
Watch these tiny hands now
Everything I've fallen in love with
And the curse that fell upon me, too
All of the feelings of falling in love
Give me enough light to protect them
Shake off the power that comes from malice
Sure, you can't hear
But right now the hero doesn't need power
Let yourself be
The shadows are closing in, asking "What are you?"
"Ranking of Kings"
"Episode 15: The Order of the Underworld"
Who are you?
Domas, of the Kingdom of Bosse's Big Four.
The Big Four?
What are you doing here?
Don't play dumb. You're the ones who broke into our castle
and made off with our prisoners, aren't you?
Hand them over peacefully, or we're prepared to go to war.
War? No, hold on a second!
Trying to talk your way out will do you no good.
Even so...!
You dare stand in our way?
I have little choice. Such is the position I find myself in.
You are far outnumbered. You'll be dying for nothing.
Is this for your own honor?
No, you've simply lost your mind, is that it?
Come on!
Oh...
We can't all gang up on him there.
Squad Leader, he's rather level-headed.
I need a three-man team to go get him.
Master Domas...
This guy's powerful.
What?
I can do this!
I've got you!
I'm more than enough to handle you all myself!
Is there someone else there?
Of course there isn't!
Oh, but I...
You've raised your voice out of nervousness. So young.
But you can't even use half your power if you're that tense.
Bring it on!
Squad Leader, allow me.
Tsubukade? Go ahead.
Sir!
My sword is the greatest in the underworld!
He swings that huge sword around like a toy.
You're pretty good, huh?
Oh! He got Tsubukade!
Th-Thanks...
That's what happens when you're careless!
I'm terribly sorry, sir.
After taking a blow like that, he's already recovered?
Tell me, what was your name again?
Domas, of the Big Four.
Domas, why did you use the back of your sword?
I still do not fully understand the situation.
So I don't wish to treat you as entirely hostile.
Then you must not think much of us. No, you're a bit cleverer than that.
Are you sure you don't understand what's happening,
and this isn't some tactic?
No! I really don't know what's going on!
Hmph, we won't be distracted and will concentrate on the foe before us.
We'll strike them down with everything we've got!
Let's show him the terror that is the Order of the Underworld.
Damn...
I haven't come this far just to wimp out.
You won't beat us!
Keep out of this!
Master Domas...
While we were traveling, all we ever did was run and hide...
...but he's actually this strong?
Not bad... young one...
Master Domas...
What is that overpowering presence I feel...?
Oh, it's the king...
My spies tell me that Bosse died,
but afterwards, he took over his son's body and has returned.
I heard that his soldiers are in disarray,
and that his kingdom is on the verge of collapse,
but I wasn't expecting to have to fight.
I was expecting this to end in a one-on-one battle with Bosse.
With King Bosse?
Heh, do you know who I am?
Desha, King of the Underworld.
I'll take you on.
Stay out of this.
He's planning to fight King Bosse and beat him?
The invincible King Bosse?
Hmm? Are you comparing me and Bosse right now?
Now that Bosse is small, he's no match for me.
How good is he, exactly?
No, just focus on winning right now!
A lateral swing?
There's no way I'll be able to stop that huge iron club.
If I mess this up, my sword could be shattered.
I'll start by letting him swing...
...then knock it out of his hand.
Then, strike with a return swing.
It looks as though you've collected your thoughts. Here I come.
The arrogance! I'll show him what I can do!
He's approaching without swinging it.
He still hasn't swung.
What is he planning? My sword can reach him from this distance.
Huh?
Looks like you were the arrogant one.
Men, take a look at him! How undignified! How undignified!
Undignified!
You should remember your place.
Damn it...
Master Domas...
Oho? A fawn! You remind me of a fawn that's just been born!
I admire your guts.
After betraying Prince Bojji, there's no longer anything left for me to lose!
If I can do at least something for the kingdom...
What are you planning to do in your condition?
I'll hold you back, if only for a moment!
It won't help.
You'll just keep getting hit you until you can't move.
Are you still going to stand against me?
Yes, I will!
Master Domas! I'll take at least one of them down with me, too!
Hokuro!
Be stronger.
From what Mitsumata said, the entrance to the underworld is down there.
That's a hell of a long stairway, huh? We have to hurry.
Hmm? What is it, Gigan?
Just so you know, we don't intend on killing anyone.
No, that's not true. There's one exception.
One exception?
Wh-Who do you mean?
It's Gigan!
Isn't that Bosse's son?
Huh?
He really... is alive...
The Order of the Underworld?! What are they doing here?!
Ah! It's Desha! And that's...
Domas!
What the hell's going on?!
Hmm? Bojji?
I've never seen him look like that before.
Bojji! Bojji!
Don't let it bother you. I'm right here for you.
Okay?
B-Bojji?
I can feel how mixed up Bojji's emotions are.
These are feelings I've never felt from Bojji before. There's...
...resentment...
...and hatred...
Bojji, I don't want you to become like me.
Hey, you!
You should be ashamed!
Prince Bojji! I now give my life in apology!
Huh?!
Master Domas!
I can't die!
What the hell! Don't scare us like that, you idiot!
Hokuro! I hate this over-trained body of mine!
Master Domas! What are you thinking?!
Right now, your first priority should be to keep Prince Bojji safe!
You're absolutely right. How pathetic am I?!
I have to let go of my personal feelings and focus on what must be done now.
Right!
Where's my sword?!
Oh, over there.
Hmm, what kind of farce is this?
Hey!
Seize Gigan right now!
--Sire! --Sire!
Wait, Gigan! No fighting!
Without the captain around, they're like an unruly mob.
Bojji, now! You have to stop them all now!
Oho! What will the incompetent one do?
Everyone! Hold on a second!
Don't fight!
Gigan!
Desha! I said wait!
What do I care?
Hey, incompetent one! Long time no see!
King Desha, who exactly is it that you're after?!
The one who set my kingdom's criminals free,
and the mastermind behind this whole plot--
Miranjo.
Miranjo?
--Who's that? --I don't know.
Ha, aren't you carefree?
No matter. In any case,
I'm going to make Miranjo...
...pay with her life for what she's done.
Today tried to stay ahead, to not be swept away
But it got absorbed by yesterday
Today put its feelings off until later with a sigh,
but as always you leaped in with a smile
So I pushed back the deadline I'd decided was final
If the view changes after one more step...
If something changes...
Be the first to shine, even when others laugh,
because I will be holding your hand
It can't be just someone, it must be you
Only you can wipe those tears
Shine on toward a yet-unseen tomorrow
I'll be singing for you, waiting for you
I'll be singing here for you, waiting for you
