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.
What is it, Bojji?
Miranjo, please, not the boy...
Miranjo... Miranjo... please...
Bojji, here, stay under Mommy.
You'll be safe here, okay?
Bojji... stay alive...
Bojji!
Bojji...
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 16: Royal Majesty"
Even if you have no plans to stop me from putting down Miranjo,
I can assure you that Bosse will stand in my way.
King Bosse?
That man thinks a great deal of Miranjo.
The karma between those two runs deep.
And if Bosse comes forward, then so must I.
Small though he may be now, I'm the only one who is a match for him.
Now, men! Escort Gigan back to the underworld!
Incompetent one, do you know that he is a criminal?
If you know that and still wish to help him...
Gigan is a criminal? What did he do?
He was a warrior.
At the time, I was vying with my father for supremacy of the underworld.
Gigan was one of the mercenaries I'd hired.
I thought that he'd be a mighty asset,
but not against this foe.
The mercenaries that my father hired
were an army of Gigantes, Gigan's own kind.
Hey, are you sure doing this will lure the enemy out?
These Gigantes monsters supposedly care deeply about their children.
They'll become unable to contain themselves
and start coming at us head-on without any sort of plan.
Release!
Traitor! Gigan has turned traitor!
We won the battle, but as a result of Gigan's betrayal,
we suffered extensive losses. And so,
Gigan became a criminal.
--What, are we done already? --Let's get something to drink!
Gigan, I can understand your anger.
But that was war!
Bojji!
He dispelled the lightning!
M-Master Domas!
Y-Yeah...
Incompetent one, are you...?
Huh? I don't understand what you're saying.
W-Wait a second, Bojji!
Hey, let me through!
I know. You just want me to tell him you won't fight, right?
Hey...
is that sword one of Despa's?
Yeah. Bojji is Despa's apprentice.
Apprentice? Tch...
Never mind about that,
Bojji has no intention of fighting you.
He's asking you not to take Gigan away.
I'm asking you, too. Don't take Gigan away from me. He's my friend.
Wait there a moment.
Despa...
Do you read me?
Brother!
Despa, I'm currently confronting the incompetent one you trained.
You mean Bojji?
What did you teach him? What did you give him? Tell me.
I have to be prepared for my showdown with Bosse.
I don't want to waste my strength here.
Brother, I hate to say this,
but you are no match for Bojji.
That goes for Bosse, as well.
It's fair to say that his power is the greatest of all.
It's strange that he did not seek out first place in the rankings.
That's your analysis?
Yes. Also, you were probably thinking
of taking over the country if things went your way,
but you'd be better off not trying.
You really are despicable, you know that?
But I have my reasons why I can't back down.
I know. Which is why, Brother, I have a better idea.
What is it?
We send Bojji against Bosse.
Then what?
Kill the unguarded Miranjo,
and claim the demon's head.
So, Brother, can you leave things here to the captain and me
and pull back for the time being?
Ha, that's a good plan.
Men! We're returning to the underworld!
Huh?!
But incompetent one, we're taking Gigan with us.
Gigan,
you're being enlisted into the Order of the Underworld.
In order to oppose our father's forces,
I need the experience and strategies of these mercenaries,
who know how to win.
I can't afford to let them be demoralized.
When looking at the bigger picture, it may be unavoidable.
But it ends up being no different than the atrocities that he is committing.
I despise you for this, Brother!
Shut up, Despa!
Shut up! Shut up!
I, at least, realize how craven this is.
Brother,
Despa does understand.
The responsibilities borne by those at the top are unfathomable.
That your heartache is more than we can bear.
And the courage it took for you to rise up in revolt against our brutal father.
I'm willing to be your yes-man at any time.
I'm certain...
that I can create the kind of disciplined, kind-hearted,
and yet mighty order of knights, which will live up to your expectations.
Someday, he, too...
will be numbered among my order.
Gigan,
I won't ask for your forgiveness. The blame rests entirely on me.
However,
I won't allow you to refuse joining the Order of the Underworld!
I'm taking you back, even if I have to drag you!
Gigan,
are you going to hide behind this incompetent one's protection?
He's saying his heart is yours. And also,
he says thanks.
You're making too much of this. It's not like I'm going to boil him up and eat him.
Yeah, I guess not.
Ah! You guys!
Wah! Wait! Yes, he's the enemy, but he's not the enemy!
Oh, no!
Wait.
Let me go.
Back to the underworld!
--Yes, sire! --Yes, sire!
That includes you.
The Order of the Underworld is leaving.
Prince Bojji! What I did to you was inexcusable!
Hey, you!
You're asking for too much!
Who are you?
I'm Bojji's friend!
His friend?
Prince Bojji has a friend...
You there, what's the matter?
You're grossing me out.
I'm sorry, I'm just so happy...
And while I'm mentioning it, when you pushed Bojji into that chasm,
I was also the one who saved him.
Prince Bojji!
I'm so sorry!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Truly, truly, truly!
W-Well, as long as you're sorry, it's okay by me.
Bojji! You wouldn't mind forgiving them, would you?
Do you think an apology is all it's gonna take?!
You're in no position to gripe if he never forgives you for as long as you live!
I can't deny that.
Idiots!
Bojji!
Bojji...
Yeah, it's not as though he can forgive him that easily, huh?
Still...
I don't want Bojji to be wrapped up in hatred towards him, either.
I have to protect him. Huh?
He's already climbed up that high?!
That's so cool! Then again, I'm a pretty good wall-climber, too!
Let me show you what I've got!
Yay! Yay! Bojji!
I never knew you could climb this quickly! You really are awesome, Bojji!
I'll race you to the tippy-top. Can you keep up with me? Whoo!
Bojji!
Hokuro, I'm sorry that you ended up being treated like a traitor, too.
That's quite all right.
Let's live our lives in a way that someday, Prince Bojji will forgive us.
Hokuro...
Come on, let's go smash up that gateway to the underworld!
Yeah, right!
--Mm-hmm! --Mm-hmm!
Prince Despa,
it looks as though my men's wounds have almost all been treated.
I'm glad to hear it.
What do you plan to do next?
Well, let's see...
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
