Demon Lord, Retry! R (2019) s01e08 Episode Script

[TATSU]
O, Great Mother.
I've come to inform you
a mysterious human
has set foot in our territory.
He seems to be causing
a ruckus in the lands.
We'll keep a close eye
and monitor his every move.
If his transgressions
go too far,
we'll take care of it.
[DRAGON]
No.
Leave him be.
[TATSU]
Ma'am!
[DRAGON]
So, he's finally arrived.
Good. I wonder how it will
turn out when we meet again.
EPISODE 8
[KONGMING] Solve one dilemma,
and another takes its place.
In order to construct
the New Queendom of Xenobia,
we must expand our territory,
but the lands we annexed
keep fighting each other.
[KONGMING]
I don't know what to do.
You're a demon.
You couldn't possibly
understand
the pain humans have to endure.
Well, survival of the fittest,
right?
Yeah, but you devour
even the strong ones.
So, you're a demon
and a bluegill.
Who are you calling a bluegill?
[whimpers]
Just say no to violence!
[KONGMING] After exiling
the incompetent former king,
we've come up with a plan
to unite our people.
To create a foreign threat
that would result
in our forces banding together.
What threat?
You mean the Kingdom of Parma?
Yes.
And it worked out exactly
how we wanted it to.
Xenobia's influence began
to spread further.
But as soon as the threat
was nullified,
it set us back to square one.
[BEATRICE] And then you decided
to use your tricks
and deception to win
General Leon over to our side.
That man
is kind and respectable,
unlike someone I know.
He's such a gentleman.
Leon is totally Leonish.
Shut up about General Leon,
already!
[BEATRICE]
I just feel so bad.
You really took
Parma's Princess Cake hostage
as a way to get him
to pledge his allegiance to us.
I mean, don't you feel
an ounce of shame?
Heck, you're an embarrassment
to humanity.
It makes me wonder,
how can you sleep at night?
Beatricewe've been
through this already.
That was a lie I told Leon
to win him over.
It wasn't true.
[BEATRICE]
Oh, I forgot.
If I'm a bluegill,
what are you, a goldfish?
[KONGMING]
I'm certain it was a demon
who abducted Princess Cake.
[BEATRICE] You're confessing
your crimes, are you, demon?
Your punishment shall be death!
[KONGMING]
I've had enough of you!
Seeing as you won't stop
running your mouth,
then open wide,
so I can stuff this inside.
-[laughs]
-[whimpers]
[KONGMING] How many shards
can I fit in there?
No. Stop it.
[BEATRICE] Something
so big could never fit.
[KONGMING]
Oh, don't you worry.
I'll be gentle.
I promise we're going to take
this nice and slow.
Boss? You've got a scary look
in your eyes!
[LEON] That village is close
to the planned battleground.
Have the residents evacuate.
But, General.
It would be easier
to raze the village.
Or perhaps seize it
for our base.
No, this war
is not theirs to fight.
And we can't put them
in harm's way.
[LEON] I must find where
Princess Cake is imprisoned,
no matter what. Damn Xenobia!
I'm going to rescue
the princess
and bring judgment down
upon you!
[KONGMING]
And just so you know,
I didn't have anything to do
with the disappearance
of Princess Cake.
Well, I know you're lying!
Because you love
murdering people
more than you love food.
You would abduct them
as easily as you breathe--
[groaning]
Oh, should I stick
another one in, or no?
You perv!
You're an ice-loving,
demon perv!
Besides, Princess Cake
probably either died
when the castle fell,
when it went up in flames,
or she could've just
taken her own life.
You really are the one
that killed her, aren't you?
-[laughing] -You
can still turn yourself in.
It's not too late.
You'll be executed harshly.
Death to all perverts!
[KONGMING]
Oh?
So you want ice in
other orifices, too?
No!
[HAMMER]
I can't believe this.
Have we really been
brought into the demon lands?
Of all places? We're done for.
We'll never return
to human territory.
-[CAKE] Excuse me.
-Huh?
Please, have this.
You're asking me to eat
in a place like this?
I know it's rough,
but please eat.
Thank you, but I'll be fine.
You should save that ration
for yourself.
I'd feel better
if you would take it.
We must eat to keep going.
Huh?
You can't give up hope.
And I promiseI'll do
everything I can to help.
[CAKE] Damn. We don't have
enough supplies!
Norma and Gyril
were the ones who died today.
Why am I stuck with a bunch
of famished little twigs?
If it keeps up at this rate,
it'll be my turn soon.
Curse that damned demon.
Wait, that Hammer guy
could last,
and it would be helpful
to have someone of his size.
Maybe if I turn up
the water works more,
he'll be happy to do
my bidding.
[KALE]
Top of the evenin' to ya!
You're such a schemer,
Princess Cake.
And I like it!
[CAKE]
Oh, no, High Demon Kale.
You cut quite a figure
again today.
You really do care
about yourself above all else.
How many souls
must meet their end
before it's your turn
to be tortured?
[KALE] As the princess,
you must be their ray of hope,
giving them the will
to survive.
If you can't do that,
you're screwed.
Oh, how I love that look
on your face!
Remember, you're of
royal blood, aren't you?
You need to act more dignified.
You'll disappoint all your
subjects looking like that.
WaitI forgot.
Your kingdom's gone.
[KALE]
The harder you try,
the more they'll want to fight
to keep on living.
But over time,
they'll fall into despair.
Then find hope again,
and then fall into
a much deeper despair!
It's a perfect spiral
of suffering.
Don't you agree?
[laughs]
[screams]
So, you need to do way better.
You understand what's at stake.
I'm rootin'
for you always, okay?
[KALE]
Okay? Okay? Okay?
[screams]
[whimpering]
I'll see you soon!
[KALE]
Oh. Here's some medicine.
It's effective and fills you
with a burst of energy,
but it hurts like a bitch.
Feel free to use it yourself
or on your slaves.
Okay, bye!
[whimpers]
Ow!
[Cake whimpering]
[CAKE]
Help me.
Somebody.
Please, rescue me!
[WOLFBEAST 208A]
Get back here, human!
Yahoo!
[FEMALE GAME VOICE 201A]
Survival Skill.
Lucky Star, activated.
Wow. That was a close call.
[screams]
You're not hurt.
Wait, please don't tell me
you possess
the protection
of the Goddess of Fate.
Of course, I don't.
I'm just a Goddess myself.
Can't you tell
by how pretty I am?
You have no idea
what you're saying.
Oh, no.
Will I be forced to bring out
my other self?
Hold on, I want to see
your other self.
What is it,
a dark doppelganger?
Wait, I bet you have multiple
edgy personalities, am I right?
Multiple? I hadn't
thought of that before.
I guess
I don't have to limit myself
to one other personality.
[MINK]
I'm stealing that idea!
How are these humans avoiding
all of the traps?
Why would you expect
any of us to know that?
[MOLEBEAST 208A]
They're even predicting
all our planned ambushes!
[FISHBEAST 208A]
This might be trouble.
[AKANE]
These Beastkin fellahs
aren't what I expected
them to be.
Don't they have any cute,
fluffy ones?
Can't you be serious, for once?
This is life or death!
O, ye dark abyss.
Mislead our pursuers
taking on human names.
I cast Holy Mist!
♪
[WOLFBEAST 208A]
My eyes!
[DEERBEAST 208A]
I'm seeing nothing but white.
That much, I know.
The lamenting sun shines
brightly upon you all,
rendering you wholly unable
to escape its wrath.
Perish and hear the coming
of the reaper!
Lo! I cast Angel Chain!
[WOLFBEAST 208A]
What is this?
[FISHBEAST 208A]
Hey, I can't move at all.
Do something, mole!
Get rid of this!
[MOLEBEAST 208A] What do you
want me to do about it, huh?
Get rid of it yourself!
Awesome.
[AKANE]
Miss Edgelord!
Why are you
so frickin' amazing, huh?
I'm so impressed!
Let's leave while we still can.
All right! Get ready.
It's my turn now!
[AKANE]
Drumroll! Jump Shoes!
Hey. Get off me!
[AKANE]
They're so soft!
These are some scandalous
marshmallows you have,
Miss Edgelord!
Stop it! That tickles!
[screams]
No! Wait, what the
Oh, Mink.
You finally made it back.
A fine job exploring
the map, Akane.
Thank you, Hakuto.
Come next time.
-[gasps]
-Wait.
You're going back out there?
Yep! I get to go on a date
with Hakuto!
♪
[KUNAI] The foliage here
seems a bit different
than the stuff we saw
on the other side.
[AKANE]
Hey, Hakuto.
It's summertime now, isn't it?
I was thinking,
how about we plan
some kind of summery event?
Maybe, like a festival?
Depending on the details,
I may consider a festival.
Oh, come on, Hakuto.
If you take your sweet time
thinking it over,
then summer will be gone
in a flash!
We need watermelon splitting.
Relationship progress
with a cool fireworks show.
Of course, we need
swimsuit titillation,
reincarnating in another world,
time travel, and other things.
I mean,
summer is the time of year
for collecting CG's
with major events.
[groans]
-My head. Ow, ow
-[KUNAI] That's what you get
for walking backwards.
[Kunai gasps]
What's that?
Whoa, a gold coin!
-[KUNAI] Let me see that!
-Huh?
[KUNAI] Incredible.
It's a Great Empire medal!
But what's it doing here?
[FEMALE GAME VOICE 201A]
Congratulations.
Medal exchange
has now been unlocked.
Yes! I can't believe
after all this time,
I finally got
my privileges back!
This is going to be
so much easier.
I'll never lose this power
ever again!
Thanks. You have my gratitude,
Akane. Well done!
No problem?
[KUNAI] I'm guessing
the Medal Queen skill
must've randomly activated.
That ability of yours
boosts medal-drop rate
in various locations,
after all.
Oh, yeah. I got a message
from Yu yesterday.
Huh? What did she say? Tell me.
Hey, Chief!
Doctor Meanie warned me
not to make any sort of
trouble for you.
Acting high and mighty
just because she's smart.
Just remembering the smug look
on her face
is starting to piss me off.
Calm down, okay?
Yu has mellowed out a bit
since coming to this world,
surprisingly.
Well, I find that hard
to believe.
I think she's scarier.
Much more than
she used to be, I'm sure.
And that's because she would
do anything for you.
[KUNAI] Wait,
what do you mean by that?
Wellwe can all see
that you've changed
in a lot of good ways.
It's kind of fun
being by your side.
So, I can understand
why she would feel
the way she does.
Strange thing to say.
Did you eat something funny?
[AKANE]
I know I'm an idiot.
But I've gotten
this feeling so many times.
That the other world
was created by someone
and I was nothing
but a prisoner trapped inside.
[AKANE]
Most days, I would beg,
pleading with whomever
that was to let me leave
and escape that awful world.
What are you getting at, Akane?
[AKANE]
I waited for an answer,
but nobody ever
responded to me.
But now,
I really think my message
has gotten through to them.
And hopefully,
they're willing to answer me.
Uh, yeah. That's great.
I'm truly happy for you, then.
At first, well,
I didn't like whoever it was
that was listening to me.
Wait. No, I hated them
for trapping me
in that terrible world.
It's funny.
'Cause I realized something.
Now, I understand
that the creator of that world
doesn't hate me at all.
They really love me,
but they just have
a funny way of showing it.
[OONO]
This is bad. Very bad.
This feels like bad news
for some reason!
Let's settle down, okay, Akane?
We are in enemy territory.
[gasps]
♪
What's a shrine gate
doing here, I wonder?
Mm. That's strange, right?
Akane, I want you
to return to base.
I'll investigate
this matter further.
What? Of course not.
What if something
happens to you?
Go. I gave you an order.
Hmm.
[OONO]
I can tell from the air here.
It's pretty similar
to that Wishing Shrine.
The one with that Ophan idol.
[AKANE]
Hey, Hakuto!
I almost forgot to tell you.
I heard something interesting
while exploring the forest.
What was it, then?
There's a rumor about
some bad guys.
I heard they're selling people
and tormenting them somewhere
to the east of here.
That so? That's not very nice.
Not one bit.
I think so too!
I hate waiting around,
so can I go investigate?
I promise I'll make quick
work of them. Please?
Uh, fine.
I suppose making
certain decisions for yourself
is the first sign of growth
in your new job capacity.
I'll be bringing the Edgelord
to accompany me, then.
I'll await your report.
[OONO]
Dodged a bullet!
Glad I got out of that one!
[giggles]
I found you.
[OONO] I can never let
my guard down with my aides.
[PRIESTESS]
So, it's you?
The one who's causing
a fuss in my territory?
I do apologize.
I wanted to get a closer look
at this building.
[PRIESTESS]
What a strange thing to say.
I figured you'd be the intruder
I've heard
has been making such
a ruckus around these parts,
but you're obviously
human, huh?
I see. Very interesting.
Yeah? What's so interesting
about that?
[PRIESTESS]
More often than not,
evildoers such as yourself
have attempted to set foot
in my territory
but could never do so.
However,
that ring you're wearing?
I can sense the accursed
Ophan's power
radiating from it.
Wait a second,
how do you know Ophan?
I've so many questions for you!
So, could you reveal yourself?
Please?
[PRIESTESS] Hmm. Sadly,
I cannot grant your request.
I'm quite tired,
but relieved to know
that you're not affiliated
with that demon.
I suggest you leave here
at once.
Actually, get lost.
Your face is scary.
[KUNAI]
Haven't you heard of
"Never judge a book
by its cover?"
Huh?
You! Evil-faced human!
Stay away from mother,
got that?
Yeah. You should do
as my brother says.
I have never in my life seen
an eviler face than yours!
Hear me, human!
Heed my warning!
For I am the supreme
ice shock known as Bluefox!
Are you the Magnificent Ten
from Giant Robo?
Listen up, human!
Prepare to be amazed,
for I am Heated Blaze, Firefox!
No offense,
but your name sounds
an awful lot
like a web browser.
That's not nice.
Do you have a problem
with our names?
You hear that, Mother?
This super creepy,
old-looking human
truly is a fiendish-faced
evildoer!
[sighs]
All right.
I've had enough of this.
I just wanna ask
a few questions.
I'm only after any information
you know about Ophan.
No! Our mother is totally
exhausted, okay?
The demon's been making
things hard enough already.
[rumbling]
[ALL]
Hmm?
Hello, hello! I'm here to play,
ancient furries.
Quite rough getting' in.
That door of yours?
Way too sturdy.
[OONO]
Who the hell is that?
Hurry, you two,
return to me right now!
Aw. Too bad.
I got the blue one.
[gasps]
[gasps]
[thuds]
[groans]
Are you okay, brother?
Just run. Hurry!
[KALE]
Yay, doubt!
Sorry, Mom,
off with the red one's head!
[screams]
This is a bit dangerous
for a kid's game.
Come on.
You're ruining the fun.
Besides, I thought I'd leave
you for later,
since you're human.
[sniffs]
[gasps]
[KALE]
Your scent.
Why do you smell like
that shitty angel?
Wow, I'm about to lose my mind!
[groans]
Looks like that thing's
pretty famous.
So, tell me everything
you know about it.
What a surprise. A mere human
who reeks of Ophan, huh?
[KALE]
No. He's got more.
Yeah. This smell.
This smell! That smel
[laughs]
[KALE]
This is gonna be so much fun!
I can't believe
someone like him exists.
I wanna kill him dead!
I don't know where to start.
Do I chop off his ears first,
or maybe cut off his nose,
then feast on his eyes?
No wait,
that would be too fast,
and where's the fun in that?
Talk about a massive waste.
I'll have to take him
as my prisoner.
[KALE] Calm down. You know
you have a bad habit
of breaking things too soon!
How rude of me.
I'm High Demon Kale,
and it's certainly a pleasure
to meet ya.
My hobbies include murder,
torture, and other stuff.
Wanna be friends with me?
Seriously, did you happen
to snort something
you weren't supposed to?
[chuckles]
Snort something?
You're pretty dang funny
for a dead guy!
Yeah!
I'm so damn high right now!
[grunts]
Wait, what?
[gagging]
Ow, that really hurt!
Ow, ow. My stomach!
Stop acting up,
or else I'll crush you.
Impossible.
What the hell are you?
[groans]
[KUNAI] I'll consider
this a lesson taught
and let you off
the hook this time,
but there won't be a next time.
I've always thought
the juvenile act
was a massive waste of energy,
anyway.
[PRIESTESS]
Thank you.
Sorry you had to do that
on my behalf.
Please wake up.
I need you to open your eyes.
You can't leave us like this,
brother!
-[KUNAI] Step aside.
-Huh?
[liquid trickling]
[KUNAI]
Why won't the wound close?
[PRIESTESS]
Thank you for trying,
but that deadly scythe
of his curses
anyone its blade cuts through.
No herb or holy magic
can stop the bleeding.
There's nothing more we can do.
We've no choice
but to watch him pass away.
It's always some curse.
Annoying.
I should give that brat
another socking.
[KUNAI]
High-Level Item Creation.
Curse-Lifting Altar.
[OONO] Plenty of items
can dispel light curses,
but this bad boy can break
even the most severe ones.
♪
[PRIESTESS] [gasps]
I can hardly believe it!
Wake up, brother!
Please, tell me
you feel okay now!
Mm. Yeah. I don't even feel
the pain anymore.
[laughs]
It worked.
Hey, punk. Tell me
are you upset? Surprised?
Of course, you are.
I'd love to hear all about it.
This isn't over. Mark my words,
I'll make you pay for this!
[laughs]
How pathetic,
an average loser's line.
Hilarious.
I'm dying to know.
Where did you train to cut
such a worthless figure?
Better yet, did a Devil Fruit
make you uncool?
Hey. Red blaze fox girl.
Make sure the blue one
drinks some of this.
It's Firefox.
And don't call us
by our colors, okay?
All right, brat,
since the blue one's good now,
I've got some questions
for you. Huh?
I'm High Demon Kale,
and you'll regret the day
you crossed me.
We'll meet again.
And when we do,
I'll have my vengeance.
I swear on my life!
[PRIESTESS]
He saved us somehow.
Well, thank you, visitor.
Hey, you two.
What do you say
to the nice man?
Oh.
Thanks a lot, human.
You were about as useful
as the tip of my pinky finger.
-[grunts]
-Do I have to?
I don't want to thank such
an impolite human! He's mean!
[KUNAI]
Okay, you obviously failed
at raising these little
furballs properly.
Regardless, the nuisance
isn't here anymore.
So, can you tell me what you
know about Ophan now?
[PRIESTESS]
Forgive me, but I'm nearly
at my limit
maintaining the barrier.
I must close the hole
he opened in it.
What barrier?
[PRIESTESS]
If we ever cross paths again,
I'll show you
my gratitude then.
Hey, wait! Damn it all!
What was that?
No matter.
[KUNAI] It looks like Ophan
is quite popular around here,
and this ring he gave me
is well known as well.
And there's a handful of people
with grudges against it.
[OONO]
What are you?
It feels like you're trying
to make me do something here.
