Demon Lord, Retry! R (2019) s01e09 Episode Script

[water burbling]
Oh, wow. So refreshing.
This is the most relaxed
I have been in centuries.
Man, what a luxury.
The Demon Lord gets to
enjoy this on a daily basis?
It's so unusual.
[ORGAN] When he's around,
I feel like I'm safe
from all the dangers
of this world.
Perhaps, this is how a father's
supposed to be.
Unlike mine.
But, the Demon Lord, though?
[gulping]
Wellhe enjoys drinking this,
so I'm sure it isn't half bad.
I really wish I could taste it,
though.
Coffee milk has
a very unique taste.
[KUNAI] Fruity milk
has a variety of flavors.
Though they're both delicious,
I still keep going back
to regular old milk.
[ORGAN] Just how long
have you been sitting there?
Not that long. I only just
returned and took a little dip.
I want you to experience
how good milk tastes
after a hot bath.
[KUNAI]
Once we've arrived at Rabby,
I'll have my aide
fix up your taste buds.
That is a very kind offer,
but I prefer it this way.
Having them
would make it painful
when I'm forced to eat
something disgusting.
[ORGAN] But that's enough
about my taste buds.
I want to know what the deal
is with this aide of yours.
She took Mink away so fast.
[KUNAI]
Don't worry about it.
As I recall,
she mentioned something about
the slave trade
and being tortured.
Does any of that
sound familiar?
It sounds like she's referring
to the slave markets.
[ORGAN]
Awful places.
You know of them?
Yeah, seeing how I know
who runs the whole thing.
It's my father,
Archfiend Belphegor.
♪
[paper rustling]
[ORGAN] Archfiend Belphegor
runs a total
of three slave markets.
Wait, three in the same region?
Are they different?
The first is the bottom
of the barrel.
[ORGAN]
It's a horrible environment.
The slaves there are beaten,
killed,
or turned into toys
for the depraved.
The customer base consists
of scum like orcs,
ogres, and low-level vampires.
Why abuse the slaves?
Damaging the merchandise
would make their value go down.
[KUNAI]
And if they die,
you're losing out
on a bunch of money.
For selection.
Most slaves die
from unspeakable horrors.
But the few that survive
the first market
are then sent to the second.
A test of endurance?
In the second, the slaves
are treated more fairly.
They have food
and a place to sleep.
Then, they go through
slave training
and the process
of brainwashing.
So, they apply the finishing
touches, basically.
[ORGAN]
The third?
Well, that's the actual slave
market you're looking for,
where the newly conditioned
slaves who are tough, pretty,
and refined
are sold for high prices.
Well, that's certainly
an elaborate setup they have.
[ORGAN]
When it comes to humans,
other archfiends don't expend
much effort.
But Belphegor is
an entirely different case.
My father is lazy,
driven by lust,
and loves taking
the scenic route.
This "route" I speak of
produces high-quality slaves
and gives him a monopoly in
the Demon Land's slave trade.
So, he put together a solid,
quality control
and marketing strategy.
[KUNAI] He must be a real
clever businessman.
I suppose.
All those experiments
he performed on me
were part of that
"scenic route," as well.
[OONO] Oh, no. Here comes
another massive landmine.
Wait, so where did that
Akane girl
and Mink run off to anyways?
To the first slave market.
[ORGAN] But the second
is closest to the border.
[KUNAI] If the first market
is as bad as you say,
then that's where
she'll be headed.
That's where the most
urgency is needed.
It'll serve
as a decent distraction
according
to our original strategy.
And we'll make a bigger scene
using the monkeys.
The Monkeymen?
How will you do that?
[KUNAI] I've taken the liberty
of seizing their power pole
and fitted the chief
with a Golden Headband.
[gasps]
[ORGAN] So, that battle
wasn't pointless after all.
And what will we do?
We're gonna walk
right through the front gate
and see your father.
Enter the front gate?
By ourselves?
-Message.
-Huh?
I got us an appointment.
Let's move.
Hey, put me down!
I'm not a child, you know?
No one will believe
you're 400. All right?
And besides, you look
about the same age as Aku.
Who is that, huh?
Yet another woman?
Fill me in. What's with the
"yet another woman" bit?
Forget it! Just don't grab me
without my permission!
It's not that serious.
Don't let it bother you.
But it does!
It bothers me a lot.
Regardless, ask me first
before you go
and decide to touch me.
I'm not some construction
helmet wearing cat.
I won't ask and check before
doing everything, all right?
[MONKEY MAGIC]
Fussing in a divine place?
As expected, you humans
are tactless as ever.
I apologize for summoning you
all unexpectedly,
but I want to make
a request of you.
An inferior human looking to
make requests of forest sages?
All right, bind.
[whimpering]
Ow, ow, ow, ow!
I'm impressed by your desire
to test the endurance
of your skull.
Let's see if you're capable
of taking more than before.
[KUNAI]
But that won't be necessary,
if you'll hear me out.
[MONKEY MAGIC]
Fine, I'll listen!
Just make it stop, please!
Good call. Stop.
Hey, are you okay, boss?
I want you to do one thing.
It's simple.
I just need you to attack
Belphegor's slave market
for me.
Huh?
Dark boss, please.
Don't give the chief
complicated instructions.
How is that difficult
to understand?
[BALDERSON]
That redheaded girl there.
If I'm not mistaken, isn't she
Belphegor's only daughter?
Yes. You're devising a scheme,
and I want to know what.
[KUNAI]
No scheme.
Just a normal dispute between
a parent and his kid.
Try not to think much of it.
I just need you to go wild.
But you make it sound simple.
You see, we're forbidden
from setting foot
past the divine territory.
[PRIESTESS] Heed my words,
sages of the forest.
[MONKEY MAGIC] Huh?
That voice, it can't be!
[BALDERSON]
Is that the Holy Priestess?
I agree
with the human's request.
So, I'll ask as well.
Could you please help him?
We, Monkeymen are given
a personal request
by the Holy Priestess herself?
[PRIESTESS]
I owe the human
standing before you
a great debt.
For that reason,
I will talk to Tatsu myself.
Well, boss.
Looks like we've got
our first big job in a while!
We finally get to break
some demon skulls.
[MONKEY MAGIC]
Finally, a fair fight!
But I need my pole.
I'm not fond of taking orders
from humans.
But the Holy Priestess
is the one asking now.
So, we'll attack
the slave market.
Of course. I'm glad we've
reached an understanding.
[clanking]
[KUNAI]
Go as wild as you want.
But humans are off limits,
got it?
Yeah, we got it.
[KUNAI]
Alsotake this with you.
It'll play a big role
this time.
So, you're giving us boxes?
[KUNAI]
You'll see in due time.
I'll give instructions later.
Priestess?
Or whatever your name is?
Remember, I'm not done
with you yet.
[KUNAI] Once this is all over,
you'll see me again,
and we'll finish
our discussion.
Don't think you can escape
my questions.
[PRIESTESS]
Oh, goodness.
Are you always this scary?
I should've known,
judging by your face.
I've told you already,
don't ever judge a book
by its cover!
[PRIESTESS]
Oh, come, now.
My children adore you.
They refer to you
affectionately as "Evil Face."
[KUNAI] That sounds more
like hatred, if you ask me.
[monkeys hooting]
[ORGAN] What is this,
a sightseeing trip?
We aren't going for fun,
you know? Jeez.
Uh, what's wrong?
Aren't we leaving?
Yeah, but unfortunately,
I can't Omnitravel to places
I've never been to before.
Huh?
So, we'll have to follow
the Monkeymen, on foot.
What? And you couldn't have
told me this any sooner?
[huffs]
[KUNAI]
Now, then.
Let's go and find out
for ourselves
what these dreadful
Demon Lands are really like!
♪
♪
[gulping]
[sighs]
[PRIESTESS]
Typical humans.
They are a loud bunch,
am I right?
Was that choice okay with you?
[PRIESTESS]
Tatsu?
[TATSU]
My opinion matters not.
Only that I carry out
mother's will.
But she told you to ignore him,
did she not?
As for my request
to the Monkeymen?
Well, that would go
against her direct order.
[chuckles]
That's quite
an intimidating look.
After all this time,
I don't think
I've had the pleasure of
seeing you get so emotional.
[TATSU] Wellgreat blessings
are often accompanied
by great hatred.
He's not meant to exist
in this world of ours.
Are you saying
you'll kill him, then?
[TATSU]
Killing him is too easy.
I can do that whenever.
I just want to know
what mother thinks.
She is so fierce.
Looks like you have one
troublesome daughter
on your hands.
[gulps]
[chuckles]
Although, problem children
usually tend to be dearer.
[sighs]
[PRIESTESS] It seems to me,
we're in for a storm tonight.
[cawing]
[chomps]
[sighs]
[CAKE] Mister Hammer.
Are you all right?
Yes. Thank you.
I know it's tough,
but stay strong.
If you do,
then surely you'll
Oh! Forgive me.
I certainly don't mean
to talk down towards you.
[weeping]
Oh, please don't worry
about it.
Actually, I've been wanting
to say thanks for everything.
Take this. Please.
♪
-[HAMMER] Huh?
-[CAKE] Shh! It's our secret.
[giggles]
But how were you able
to get these?
Someone I know
shared them with me.
[CAKE] Hide when you eat them,
so no one else finds out.
Oh. Right.
See you.
[HAMMER]
Ah.
I must live on.
Not just for me,
but for her as well.
[CAKE]
Damn it all!
Only three were good enough
to send to the second market?
Unbelievable.
If this keeps up,
they'll get rid of me.
I need to do something before
that bastard Kale comes back.
Maybe I can use his name,
then get food
from the second market.
Sorry to intrude.
[scoffs]
[CAKE] Nobody's ever here
when I need them.
They're all good for nothing,
I swear.
And whom might you be
referring to?
Hmm?
I do apologize!
I was simply complaining
about one of the slaves.
They weren't ready to advance
to the next market.
Your job's not to complain.
It's to discipline them
if they're not
meeting expectations.
[CAKE]
It won't happen again!
Lord Kale gave me instructions
for handling this matter.
May I humbly request
a carriage to travel
to the second slave market?
Lord Kale? How disturbing.
I can understand
why Lord Belphegor saw fit
to leave that boor
in charge of this place.
[SKEWER] Of course,
he loves his little detours
and futile pursuits.
It's possible
that he saw a bit of himself
in unsavory little Kale.
Very well.
Go to the second
and fulfill your duty.
Of course.
I'll head there right away!
[CAKE]
That's a relief!
All right, I got one
of these monsters' approval!
[carriage rumbling]
[CAKE]
I'm so close.
I will definitely escape
this place.
Parma Kingdom
only suffered defeat
because that idiotic father
of mine
was dumb enough
to send Leon away.
But if I can rally with him,
we'll get revenge on
the New Queendom of Xenobia.
Beatrice and Kongming,
I'll tear you both to shreds!
[footfall]
It's been a long time
since I've been to this place.
Oh, my. That's not good.
Your leg.
[SKEWER] This elderly gentleman
seems to have a vital injury.
Huh? No, I'm really all right.
I swear.
Now, now. We wouldn't want
you to force yourself, sir.
Wait! Please, I can still work!
You don't have to do that!
[groans]
♪
[chains clanking]
And why are you not performing
the necessary quality checks?
Please, we won't ever
make that mistake again.
A nose that can't detect
rotting is worth
nothing at all to me!
[screams]
What other merchandise
is worthless around here?
He's no good.
I'll get rid of him!
But wait,
I'm not injured or anything!
Spare me! If I die, no one
will look after my child!
Then both of you can die!
[screams]
[groans]
Ta-dah! Akane has arrived,
folks!
Hmm?
One sec. This will
be my first fight here,
so I gotta make it
memorable, right?
Time to blow you all away
and start the legend
of the Great Empire!
Wait for it. Any second now.
And dead.
[explosion]
From the looks of things,
you were killing
a lot of people
just for the enjoyment
of it, right?
[AKANE] Well, now I'm gonna
have so much fun
killing each of you!
[chuckles]
-That should make it even.
-Oh?
Sacred Downpour!
Holy Rain!
[all screeching]
I, the dark one
who hunts the dark,
-will stand against you!
-Hey, that's not fair.
You can't just interrupt
my heroic entrance!
Well, you're Miss Edgelord,
so I forgive you.
♪
Holy crap! That's a lot
of bones and no skin!
-[AKANE] Rest in pieces.
-[MINK] Focus!
[MINK] How are we going to do
this without Organ?
How about a funny joke?
Laughter always helps!
What?
This is not the time!
[grunts]
Give me the protection
of the abyssal dark,
so that I am able to
rend all light! Come forth!
And I now cast Angelic Cross!
Corpses still clinging
to the mortal world,
perish in brilliance!
What? Man,
you're so freakin' amazing.
I love you.
So, are we executing now?
Can you be serious?
[MINK] Do something about that
monster over there!
Heck, you better. Damn it!
Oh, wow! So, we're swearing
from now on?
You can't be in an idol unit
with me like that,
Miss Edgelord.
I must admit, your cheerfulness
is quite refreshing,
even for me.
It isn't very often
we experience
that around these parts,
dear girl.
From where I'm standing,
the only weird one here
is you, gramps.
Weird, you say?
You're awfully calm for someone
who's about to meet their end
in a few seconds.
Considering I'm somewhat
of a special being
and I have been liberated
from this irrelevant concept
you mortals call death,
you'll find it difficult
to kill me.
Though, I would love to
experience it for myself.
[chuckles]
Whoops. You just popped a flag,
like saying,
"I'd like to know defeat."
Be careful what you wish for.
Well, thenhow about a duel
to the death, little girl?
Ready whenever you are,
old man.
The rest of you?
I request that you keep our
other guest here entertained.
Huh?
♪
What? Don't come after me!
That won't do, Miss Edgelord!
Edgelords need to laugh
whenever they're in trouble!
Shut up, already!
[sword clanking]
You're quite the agile one.
How impressive.
Do you have
a quality magic item
that lets you control the wind?
[AKANE] If a treasure like that
exists, I'd love to have it.
Then it's in your best interest
to beat me,
if that's indeed what you seek.
My lord's castle has many
magic items of all kinds--
[groans]
Thanks for the intel.
So, after I put you
in the ground,
I'll take all of those
treasures for myself.
Don't get too cocky,
you impudent girl!
[AKANE]
Yikes.
That creepy spear
is freakin' me out.
[SKEWER]
No more games.
It's time to show
this wretched human girl
what horrors I am truly
capable of.
So cool! Is that
your cloning technique?
Aside from my real body,
I'm able to conjure
my four powerful clones.
[SKEWER]
Which is unfortunate for you,
because that means
I was only fighting you
at 20% strength
this entire time.
Uh, okay.
I'm stupid, so I don't
understand what you're saying.
You fool!
For your sake, I sincerely hope
you're as strong
as you are brainless.
Fine, then. I should get into
combat mode, too.
[AKANE]
Abradacabra.
Elohim Etz Chaim!
Fighting spirits, heed my call!
♪
[laughs]
[laughs]
Dear girl,
I'm starting to think
you were born
to bring me surprises.
-Bravo!
-Huh?
Right back at you.
That cloning technique really
caught me off guard, grandpa.
[whimpers]
What the
Why would you call
another clone?
Just consider it
a necessary precaution.
Now, you'll fight me
at 80% strength.
Oh.
So you're scared, then?
[grunts]
[groans]
You should call up another
clone and fight
at 100%.
[AKANE]
I'll wait if you need me to.
[groans]
Aw. You dropped it?
Maybe you should hold on
to it a bit tighter.
You are a rather
formidable opponent,
and your bravery and strength
are worthy of praise.
[SKEWER] So, I'm inclined
to make you a one-time offer.
What kind of offer?
From what I gathered,
you do not seem to be
after my Lord's life.
So, how about this?
Cease our fighting
and let us work out
a compromise
that would benefit both sides.
[SKEWER]
Or better yet,
why don't you join
our operation?
Nah, I'll pass.
[whimpering]
[SKEWER] Since you're here
impeding on our establishment,
I would wager
that you pity these humans
and want to save them,
am I right?
Then, you should know
that I have the power
to free either one you'd like.
Well, I'm not looking
for your permission.
Besides, Hakuto's the only one
who can order me around.
Don't take another step.
You're gonna be fine, old dude.
[AKANE]
Don't worry, all right?
I'll make sure
this creepy guy is punished!
To think the day has come
when I shall have
to use my full power.
[BELPHEGOR] Oh?
The main body's going out.
[SKEWER (MONSTER)] You've made
me use my true form.
Now, you'll regret it!
I still wanted to do
so many things.
Now, I'm done for.
[sighs]
My life is about to end.
I don't wanna to hear it,
all right?
Listen. If you give up now,
that's game, set,
and match, my dude!

[sighs]
[MINK]
Huh? What is that?
Oh, good. You're done?
Excellent job.
Do something, already!
[MINK] You're the Demon Lord's
fallen angel's aide,
aren't you?
[AKANE] As of right now,
I'd say Hakuto's
more of a swindler
than Lucifer.
What does that have to do with
what's in front of us
right now?
Get these people out of here,
Miss Edgelord.
I'll take this ugly thing down.
[groans]
It grew back?

As I said,
I'm a special being
who's liberated
from the concept of death!
Regeneration!

Hurry. Get out of here!
Thank you both,
but you should run away
while you still have
the chance.
You still have a future,
so save yourselves.
What are you saying?
That you still don't have
a future?
[HAMMER]
I'm just a no-name weed.
My destiny is to be
trampled and die.
