The Ossan Newbie Adventurer, Trained to Death by the Most Powerful Party, Became Invincible (2024) s01e12 Episode Script
Quarter Thumbs-Up
1
YEARS AGO
[orcs grunting]
[BROUGHSTON] I was different
from the rest of my pack.
I knew that much by age five.
It was not hard to see.
I looked different, of course.
But moreover, I could think
in complex thoughts.
I obtained books
left behind by humans,
and from them,
learned about their culture.
After realizing most humans
have unique names,
I decided "Broughston"
would be my own.
Orcs exchange opinions
using their fists.
It is through this practice
they come
to understand each other.
- [thuds]
- But perhaps
because I was too powerful,
I received nothing
from these exchanges.
I sought to improve
the lives of my people,
so I made fire
and built us dwellings.
I gave them the tools
they needed
to communicate in new ways.
Until,
before I knew it,
they began
worshipping me as a god.
There were no longer
any from my pack
who dared approach me.
Not even my family.
I would see them solve disputes
through fistfights.
After, they would share a meal,
all the closer,
while I could only
watch from afar.
Back then
I was completely alone.
[wind gushing]
One day,
I strayed from the pack
in search of firewood.
Never suspecting
what I would find
upon my return.
[rumbling]
I had no words for what I felt.
Although,
I cannot say
it was for the reasons
one would expect.
I was not speechless
out of grief
but because I knew
this changed nothing for me.
They were gone.
Every family member
I once knew.
But I did not feel a thing.
[fire crackling]
[leaves rustle]
- Hm?
- [Reinhard grunts]
[REINHARD]
I found you, orc!
I'm impressed
you could dodge that!
Wait, this orc has a book?
And that must be the wyvern
that's been
terrorizing the nearby town.
Was that your doing?
Yes.
I didn't actually
expect you to respond.
I had been asked
to take care of an orc
some townsfolk spotted nearby
but that doesn't seem
terribly ethical
now that I know you can talk.
Well, I'm sorry for
attacking you out of the blue!
Don't fret.
It is hardly
a strange response.
You're quite the peculiar guy!
I'd be interested in
hearing more about you!
♪
I get it.
Not hard to imagine
why you wouldn't mourn them
when you barely felt like
one of them to begin with.
And of course
that also explains
why you'd want a friend
who can fight with you
as an equal.
Thank you.
Though I do not believe
it is a wish
that can be granted.
Say, Broughston,
we're both trying to make
unrealized dreams come true.
How about
we try working together?
- Go on.
- Gladly!
Once upon a time,
I actually fought
alongside the hero Yamato!
To this day, people call me
Reinhard of the Legendary Five!
[BROUGHSTON]
The Legends of Yamato?
I have read that book.
It's set two hundred years ago.
[REINHARD] Oh!
Big reader, are you?
Well, you're looking
at the author!
That story's my life!
- [laughs]
- I suspected
the accounts were too specific
to be fictional
but are you suggesting
that every page is true?
[REINHARD] Yeah.
Though good luck
convincing my editor of that!
[laughs]
[BROUGHSTON]
Then if I follow
your "dream" is
to defeat Kaiser Alsapiet?
[REINHARD]
You got it in one.
[BROUGHSTON] No one can say
you have low ambitions.
Indeed.
We'd be chasing
after an impossible dream.
In following my own,
we may be able to find
what you've been looking for.
Shall we?
Hmm.
Very well.
It sounds fun.
[REINHARD]
Great, then it's settled!
Broughston the lonely orc!
All shall gather 'round us!
And as we pursue this dream,
let us find some
who may rival your strength
among the crowds!
[BROUGHSTON] Thus
did I become an adventurer.
And on that day,
we founded Orichalcum Fist.
It was just as he told me.
We were able to find many
whose power equaled my own.
[laughs]
- [slices]
- Each excelled
in their own areas
and had unique specialties.
But strong as they were,
none could engage me
in a fistfight
like that between orcs.
That brutality was
not where their talents lay.
[MIZETT]
brought us together!
[BROUGHSTON]
As an attempted remedy,
I made my training plan.
[MIZETT] Good luck ever finding
someone crazy enough
to go through
training like that!
Hmm.
[door opens]
[sighs]
I did not want to give up
but I believed I had no choice.
That my dream would die there.
- And yet,
- [wind blows]
you never know
what the winds of fate
will blow your way.
Which brings us here.
I've wasted your time with
a long and unimportant story.
Please pay it no heed.
Let us continue our match.
[RICK]
Hm.
These past two years
he's stayed by my side,
morning, noon, and night.
He was there!
Did I ever realize
how much of his time
he devoted to bettering me?
So what now?
I can out-speed
with Thread Slash,
out-range with Air Shot,
but would fighting that way
be the right thing to do?

Nah, doesn't matter.

Things sacred are not meant

Damn it.
Am I spent?
Hey,
I did pretty well
for a nobody in his thirties.
Now I can go home and rest.
I did my best.
Broughston's gotta
be happy, right?
Hold on.
He looks like
he could still fight for hours,
but still
my body can't take more.
Can it?
Wait, my finger.
I can still move it!
It's over.
He must be out of energy.
[REANETTE] No.
Not yet.
[both gasp]
He hasn't gotten
seriously serious yet!
What she said.
[RICK]
This was nothing for him.
Just an average sparring match!
I'm not his equal.
Not if I call it here!
I haven't repaid him yet.
He deserves more.
And "more" is
what I'm going to give him!
[KELVIN]
Uh.

What's that?
This is Mister Rick's
inborn skill.

RECKLESS SOUL
[shudders]
[laughing]
Look at his stupid face!
Broughsy finally
got his surprise!
- Ha-ha!
- Indeed.
- So, you all expected this?
- Yes.
For months
we've kept
this secret from Broughston.
We gave Ricky special training
behind his back!
Nothin' special,
but we taught him
how to control it a little,
and what needs to happen
to get those engines roaring.
[ANGELICA]
Which would be?
[REANETTE] For him to activate
Reckless Soul
there is only
one prerequisite to meet.
He must be fighting something
he cannot overcome,
and upon accepting that,
force himself
to overcome it anyway.
[MIZETT]
His skill doesn't require
a drop of magical strength
or physical strength.
Only his strength of will!
Everything up till now was
nothing but a warm-up round.

All this time, I believed
my family's tradition of combat
was the only way
to connect with others.
But they rely on me.
Care for me!

Ah, Mister Rick.
You're up.
And you're here.
[ALICRETTE] Oh.
Ricky! Morning!
[ANGELICA]
So, you didn't die after all?
Wow, was three days
a good nap, bro?
[REANETTE]
Better than the last time
you used your inborn skill.
That time,
you were out for a week.
It appears
the training has worked.
[chuckles]
Thanks,
but why is the belt with me?
Pretty sure I was the first one
to hit the ground.
No matter.
The results of one battle
mean nothing
when the war has
ended in your favor.
Good luck.
He's not budging on that!
When you say it so firmly,
I almost believe
it's the truth.
But I really wasn't pulling
any punches back there,
while I feel like you had
thirty full heals left to go.
I don't know if I could
ever match up to you.
Don't say such things.
You are strong.
[RICK]
Thank you.
Now, Rick.
You too, Mizett.
Huh?
[BROUGHSTON]
Alicerette, Reanette,
you have spent
so much of your time
to see my dream realized.
I thank you.
[giggles]
[chuckles softly]
I don't have the slightest clue
what you mean!
So, what's going on?
I heard from
the rest of your group
they wanted to give
Broughston a surprise,
so they gave you
some specialized training
- for your inborn skill!
- [gasps]
I knew you all seemed
a little too eager to help,
but now things are
starting to click for me!
[MIZETT] Operation successful!
[REANETTE] Quite.
[all laughing]
[BROUGHSTON]
All right.
- Let us claim our prize.
- [pops]
It popped?
Now we have Sovereign's Gold.
Two down.
Just four more to match Yamato!
And then we can succeed him
by beating Kaiser Alsapiet!
With that obtained,
I present the substitute.
[MIZETT] Alicerette should
charge it up with some magic.
Could make it look the part.
[ALICRETTE] Okay!
Just leave it to me!
Bang!
Don't know if that's ethical,
but I'm not about to snitch.
Oh yeah, about the gems.
If Reinhard used to have them,
how old is he now?
If I remember right,
The Legends of Yamato happened
over two hundred years ago.
[BROUGHSTON] I was never privy
to his exact age,
but he says his inborn skill
extends his life.
[RICK]
Interesting.
Speaking of him,
you said it's been a few years
since your last contact?
What's next?
Could he be acting in secret?
[BROUGHSTON] No.
He had a deadline
coming for his book,
so he's on the run.
Great.
[KELVIN]
What?
Once more
Misters Ashorc and Gladiatol
decline the victory.
They've subsequently canceled
their pugilist registration.
Acknowledging that,
the title of champion
falls to third place,
which would be you.
[sighs]
We can't just
end the tournament
without declaring
someone the winner.
How can you expect me
to be happy
remaining champion by default?
[SNAPE]
Won't you reconsider?
The belt needs someone
to watch over it for the year.
[KELVIN]
How is that my problem?
[SNAPE]
I knew you would do it!
[KELVIN]
I said no!
[BROUGHSTON] Thank you.
For everything.
[both crying]
Please say you'll come
back to us some day!
- And then.
- Boss!
I'm gonna work hard to live
an honest life as a pugilist!
So next time we meet,
- please let me call you my dad!
- Please let me be your wife!
- What's that?
- What'd you say?
I didn't hear either of them.
- [ANGELICA] Are you kidding me?
- Hm?
How're you gonna make it
through all those boxes?
What?
I just wanted to get some
souvenirs for our neighborhood.
Ours is the only home
in the neighborhood.
I'm sure I can find something
to do with the leftovers!
Oh yeah?
Not if you eat them here!
[BROUGHSTON]
Reinhard,
my dream has finally come true.
[ALICRETTE]
Aw,
what do you mean you're not
coming with us, Angie?
[ANGELICA]
I'm sorry, sweetie.
I have responsibilities left
to take care of back home.
You should come play!
Promise you'll visit?
- Shake, shake, shake.
- Yeah, promise I'll come by!
I'll have to since
Broughston agreed to train me.
[thuds]
[BROUGHSTON] Yes.
I look forward to it.
Wait, you mean?
You realize you're gonna die?
I would hope for nothing less.
I'm resolved
down to my very core.
Get ready,
because I'm catching up to you!
[gasps]
And then,
I plan to leave you in my dust.
[exhales]
Good.
Well then, I'm lookin' forward
to the next time we meet!
[ANGELICA]
Yeah.
So taking a "light jog" home?
[RICK] Yep! I need the workout,
since I'm only E-rank!
[ANGELICA] That almost
sounds condescending,
coming from you.
But, as you will!
So how many kilometers
will it be?
Five hundred?
Eight hundred?
Two thousand eight hundred.
At a certain point,
the number sounds
too big to be anything else
but a joke!
How long did it take you
to get here in the first place?
- [horse snorts]
- [RICK] Uh, three days?
That's ridiculous!
Even if you monsters really can
make the trip in three days,
the food will rot before
the carriage can get there!
It's nothing that can't be
fixed with a little magic!
Go Mizzy!
Leavin' it to me huh?
Here's strengthening magic.
Muscle and Lung Enhancement!

[snorts]
Shouldn't be any issue now.
I'm ready to go.
I need a break from all of you.
- Please.
- All right!
- Well, ready?
- Pardon me, Mister Rick.
What about the hot springs?
- We should plan out our date.
- [gasps]
[Angelica shudders]
Hold on, but
that was only
if I won the tournament!
You did win the tournament.
No, I passed out before you!

But, I mean.
If she wants to go.

Hot springs?
With her?
Don't turn around.
I don't wanna see what face
he's making right now.
I wanna go on a trip
to the hot springs too!
[Rick gasps]
[RICK]
No, we can't!
I mean.
I really don't feel like I won.
So, not yet.
Yeah, it felt more like
the match ended in a draw.
How about the two of you
race back to the castle,
consider it a tiebreaker?
Yes.
Agreed.
Wait, with what stakes?
If Rick wins, he gets to have
his hot springs trip,
but, if he loses.
[BROUGHSTON]
A hundred times the training!
But I'll die!
Please, no.
It's too much!
- I'm gonna freak out!
- Ready?
Go!
- Giddy up!
- [horse neighs]
Wait.
I wasn't ready yet!
Don't do this to me!
[gasps]
[sighs]
So, uh,
about the hot springs.
I'll take you soon, yeah?
- [chuckles softly]
- Sounds good.
[screams]
[RICK] Don't make me train
a hundred times as hard!
And with that,
I'll see you next time.
Angie!
Bye-bye!
They leave as ridiculously
as they came.

[RICK] It may have taken
longer than I wish it had
but my dream of adventuring
has come true.
Still,
this isn't the end.
Even now,
my next dream is waiting.

Hey,
I did pretty well

Now I can go home and rest.
I did my best.
Broughston's gotta
be happy, right?
Hold on.
He looks like
he could still fight for hours,
but still
my body can't take more.
Can it?
Wait, my finger.
I can still move it!
It's over.
He must be out of energy.
[REANETTE] No.
Not yet.

He hasn't gotten
seriously serious yet!
What she said.
[RICK]
This was nothing for him.
Just an average sparring match!
I'm not his equal.
Not if I call it here!
I haven't repaid him yet.
He deserves more.
And "more" is

Broughsy finally
got his surprise!

- Indeed.
- So, you all expected this?
- Yes.
For months
we've kept
this secret from Broughston.
We gave Ricky special training
behind his back!
Nothin' special,
but we taught him
how to control it a little,
and what needs to happen
to get those engines roaring.
[ANGELICA]
Which would be?
[REANETTE] For him to activate
Reckless Soul
there is only
one prerequisite to meet.
He must be fighting something
he cannot overcome,
and upon accepting that,
force himself
to overcome it anyway.
[MIZETT]
His skill doesn't require
a drop of magical strength
or physical strength.
Only his strength of will!
Everything up till now was

Ricky! Morning!

So, you didn't die after all?
Wow, was three days
a good nap, bro?
[REANETTE]
Better than the last time
you used your inborn skill.
That time,
you were out for a week.
It appears
the training has worked.
[chuckles]
Thanks,
but why is the belt with me?
Pretty sure I was the first one
to hit the ground.
No matter.
The results of one battle
mean nothing
when the war has
ended in your favor.
Good luck.
He's not budging on that!
When you say it so firmly,
I almost believe
it's the truth.
But I really wasn't pulling
any punches back there,
while I feel like you had
thirty full heals left to go.
I don't know if I could
ever match up to you.
Don't say such things.
You are strong.
[RICK]
Thank you.
Now, Rick.
You too, Mizett.
Huh?
[BROUGHSTON]
Alicerette, Reanette,
you have spent
so much of your time
to see my dream realized.
I thank you.
[giggles]
[chuckles softly]
I don't have the slightest clue
what you mean!
So, what's going on?
I heard from
the rest of your group
they wanted to give
Broughston a surprise,
so they gave you
some specialized training
- for your inborn skill!
- [gasps]
I knew you all seemed
a little too eager to help,
but now things are
starting to click for me!
[MIZETT] Operation successful!
[REANETTE] Quite.
[all laughing]
[BROUGHSTON]
All right.
- Let us claim our prize.
- [pops]
It popped?
Now we have Sovereign's Gold.
Two down.
Just four more to match Yamato!
And then we can succeed him
by beating Kaiser Alsapiet!
With that obtained,
I present the substitute.
[MIZETT] Alicerette should
charge it up with some magic.
Could make it look the part.
[ALICRETTE] Okay!
Just leave it to me!
Bang!
Don't know if that's ethical,
but I'm not about to snitch.
Oh yeah, about the gems.
If Reinhard used to have them,
how old is he now?
If I remember right,
The Legends of Yamato happened
over two hundred years ago.
[BROUGHSTON] I was never privy
to his exact age,
but he says his inborn skill
extends his life.
[RICK]
Interesting.
Speaking of him,
you said it's been a few years
since your last contact?
What's next?
Could he be acting in secret?
[BROUGHSTON] No.
He had a deadline
coming for his book,
so he's on the run.
Great.
[KELVIN]
What?
Once more
Misters Ashorc and Gladiatol
decline the victory.
They've subsequently canceled
their pugilist registration.
Acknowledging that,
the title of champion
falls to third place,
which would be you.
[sighs]
We can't just
end the tournament
without declaring
someone the winner.
How can you expect me
to be happy
remaining champion by default?
[SNAPE]
Won't you reconsider?
The belt needs someone
to watch over it for the year.
[KELVIN]
How is that my problem?
[SNAPE]
I knew you would do it!
[KELVIN]
I said no!
[BROUGHSTON] Thank you.
For everything.
[both crying]
Please say you'll come
back to us some day!
- And then.
- Boss!
I'm gonna work hard to live
an honest life as a pugilist!
So next time we meet,
- please let me call you my dad!
- Please let me be your wife!
- What's that?
- What'd you say?
I didn't hear either of them.
- [ANGELICA] Are you kidding me?
- Hm?
How're you gonna make it
through all those boxes?
What?
I just wanted to get some
souvenirs for our neighborhood.
Ours is the only home
in the neighborhood.
I'm sure I can find something
to do with the leftovers!
Oh yeah?
Not if you eat them here!

down to my very core.

I plan to leave you in my dust.

Good.
Well then, I'm lookin' forward
to the next time we meet!
[ANGELICA]
Yeah.
So taking a "light jog" home?
[RICK] Yep! I need the workout,
since I'm only E-rank!
[ANGELICA] That almost
sounds condescending,
coming from you.
But, as you will!
So how many kilometers
will it be?
Five hundred?
Eight hundred?
Two thousand eight hundred.
At a certain point,
the number sounds
too big to be anything else
but a joke!
How long did it take you
to get here in the first place?

make the trip in three days,
