"GRENADIER" "Carving my footsteps in the amber colored road  I've finally come this far." "I keep my eyes on the road ahead." "Only time moves faster than me..." "I look back..." "the road behind me shines blue." "The flames of all the lives I've encountered..." "I wish I could hold them in my arms." "So that we don't get swept away by this great river  I want our hearts to be one." "We're all travelers, after all." "Hold on!" "Yajiro?" "Those shots came from the castle, didn't they?" "Yeah, I heard that the guy who hurt Koto ran and took cover in the Castle." "King Furon..." "The guy who hurt Koto?" "It could be the fugitive!" "One way or another, I'm sure it's got something to do with him!" "That's a problem!" "What if something happens to the king?" "We have to protect the king!" "What if something happens to the king?" "You don't stand a chance against him." "Leave it to her." "Her?" "Rushuna." "Rushuna Tendo." "The woman who can take on the entire castle." "Who is she..." "Episode 3 Enlightened Evil" "What is this look in my eyes?" "You must not have that look, Rushuna." "Would I look at a flower that way?" "I'm sorry." "Your discipline as a senshi is impressive, but to progress further, you must learn the Ultimate Fighting Strategy." "Yes." "...learn the Ultimate Fighting Strategy." "Eliminate your enemy's will to fight." "In order to do this, you must smile." "Smile..." "I don't understand that so well." "Hold in your heart the feelings of love you have for these flowers." "Become intoxicated by their fragrance, love them and you will smile, naturally." "I can't..." "I can't smile!" "You!" "Your Majesty!" "Impressive." "You've realized that the weapon's source of power is air." "Hold on!" "Don't get confused about who you're fighting." "First, you will fight the King." "My body won't move." "If you can defeat the King, I will let you seek your revenge..." "This man possesses a mysterious power." "Does he control air?" "This power is called Enlightened Evil." "Enlightened Evil" "It is not something that will be easily defeated." "It is the kingdom's defense strategy." "The King sacrificed his life for it." "Defense strategy?" "What have you done to that child?" "It is all for the kingdom!" "The King needed awe-inspiring power!" "Power?" "It was when the former king lost his life in battle." "Father!" "Father!" "Fulfill my role as king?" "What..." "What am I supposed to do?" "It's fueled by the energy of my growth?" "Yes, in order to draw out the power of this destructive weapon we need the energy of a growing child." "It's for the people and for my kingdom..." "Then I will give myself, happily." "And so, the fate of this country was handed to a seven year old king." "On that day began a battle upon which his Majesty's life depended." "It was a good match, and the Evil became enlightened rapidly." "Now, this power has come to be feared by all the nearby kingdoms." "How could you do that to a child!" "Power is the foundation of a nation!" "Power..." "Power is everything." "So long as there are people who believe this, fighting will not cease." "Yes." "Rushuna, go on a journey." "Go travel to many countries, in my place and tell as many people as you can that... this is wrong." "I cannot leave this place." "I'm counting on you, Rushuna." "Even here in Tento, some are coming to believe that power is everything." "Who are you?" "Don't worry about me." "Why don't you test yourself?" "See if you can break down the King's incredible convictions or not." "Enough talking, Jester!" "I will take care of the intruder." "You stay out of this!" "Get out of here!" "As you wish." "Wait, listen to me." "His guards are there, so he should be okay." "But if something should happen to the King..." "Yajiro said he'd go and check." "There's nothing we can do but wait." "Please let me pass." "Koto." "I told her to stay in bed but..." "See, I told you so." "Furon, Your Majesty." "I'm sorry." "Just don't wake up." "She missed all their vitals, impressive." "Intruder!" "I said not to get up." "So..." "Please, I want to talk." "There's nothing to talk about." "I can't let you live." "You know my identity." "What do I have to..." "Let me think." "Woman, this is the end." "Stop making fun of me!" "It didn't work!" "What am I going to do?" "I have to break his armor." "I'll just hit that." "It got thicker!" "Normal bullets don't work anymore." "I don't have a choice." "Special armor piercing bullet" "It's a precious bullet, but I have to use it." "Take this!" "Yes!" "No way!" "What's going on?" "Rushuna!" "Rushuna!" "Hey!" "Yatchan, stay away!" "Damn it." "I underestimated him." "To think that he could shoot such a big one." "Woman, where are you?" "I have no more special bullets." "I think I'm in real trouble." "It looks like this is it for her." "A useless gun and an injured trigger finger." "She's out of options." "She's nothing but a plaything for Furon." "I'm grateful for her help in his development." "Rushuna!" "Are you going to kill him?" "No, I just want to talk." "Talk?" "King, do you know what you're doing with that weapon?" "This power is for killing you beasts!" "Beasts?" "We are surrounded by beasts who fuel the fires of war." "As king, I need the power to do away with those who attack us!" "Without power, I can't protect my country or my people." "Without power I cannot live." "A nation cannot thrive without a powerful king!" "No, that's wrong." "What's wrong about it?" "If you fight by force, stronger enemies will appear." "That is why I acquired the power of Enlightened Evil." "It's all for the survival of this kingdom!" "Your Majesty, your country isn't that weak." "It welcomed and embraced a total stranger like myself with open arms." "Everyone is so kind." "Don't assume that everyone is the enemy." "By welcoming them with love, you can eliminate their will to fight." "The Ultimate Battle Strategy." "That's nonsense!" "You don't have to fight alone." "Everyone's kindness can be your strength." "A person without power is nothing!" "That's not true!" "A person without power is nothing!" "Shut up, you don't know anything!" "Is that armor the reason you cannot understand?" "Is it because your heart is covered in armor?" "Then I'll remove it for you." "What?" "How pitiful." "A last ditch effort..." "Besides, what can one bullet do anyway?" "One bullet..." "What!" "What is this power?" "The bullet hit me square on!" "Is that what's amplifying it's power?" "Oh no!" "The castle exploded!" "King Furon!" "Koto!" "Ouch..." "The floor fell through." "Rushuna!" "Yatchan!" "Huh?" "The King?" "The armor came off and he started to grow?" "Not yet!" "It's not over yet!" "What do you know what it takes for a small kingdom to survive?" "You never know when you'll be attacked!" "The terror of war!" "The terror of destruction!" "What do you know?" "You!" "It's okay to be scared." "Rushuna." "The King is human too." "If you're scared, you can ask for help." "What!" "Everyone loves you." "Everyone will help you." "They will?" "Yes, everyone always has you in their hearts." "They love me..." "They'll help me..." "It's okay." "You have a lot of people on your side." "I have allies?" "I have allies!" "That's right..." "So why have I done all this?" "Will I be forgiven?" "Yes, it'll be fine." "So hang in there, Your Majesty..." "We can do it..." "I'll hang in there too!" "She did it!" "King Furon!" "King Furon?" "King Furon, you're okay." "I'm so happy..." "I'm sorry." "Yatchan?" "Is he going to be okay?" "He doesn't instill a lot of confidence." "He'll be okay." "He has lots of support." "I bet you're happy." "I am, but what makes me happiest is that you came to help me!" "Whatever!" "It made me realize I'm not alone." "I-l-It's partly my fault that Koto got hurt..." "I couldn't let you take all the blame..." "Thank you." "Koto's wounds will heal quickly in the Iwaya's medicated bath." "Medicated bath..." "You just imagined Koto naked, didn't you!" "No, I didn't!" "BULL'S-EYE" "I did not!" "I wouldn't do such a thing!" "I see." "Men need that armor around their hearts to survive." "Don't worry, I'll remove your armor someday too!" "Huh?" "We both must remove the armor around our hearts or we can't use the strategy." "Huh?" "Let's go." "What is she babbling about?" "I'm hungry." "You just ate." "But I'm hungry." "But..." "I have news for you." "Yes?" "Rushuna and her warrior friend reined in the King of Tara." "I see." "I'm pleased." "But I've just made some tea." "I don't want to talk about bloody things." "Yes." "Is that okay?" "Yes, I believe so." "Did you hear that?" "The power that the Jester nurtured over ten years it was all put to waste." "That Rushuna..." "All alone, so many nights I want to cry." "Everyone dreams on the road of the endless journey." "Always believe in something, and always lose something." "I hold you." "All the tears I shed will turn into kindness." "I'm sure." "Don't be defeated by sadness." "Keep your eye on tomorrow." "You're not alone." "Everyone has dreams to come true." "The winds of tomorrow will bring the fragrance of kindness." "It's a promise..." "I'll always be by your side." "Next Episode" "I have a spectacular street show for you." "The cost is your smile." "Come all, come see!" "Everyone is welcome." "I'll do it in one shot!" "This is a true one shot deal!" "Just kidding." "I hope no one slips." "Next episode of "Grenadier", The Town That Does Not Smile." "Would you like to join me?"
