[triumphant music playing]
What a guy!
I want you to know what a fantastic guy you are!
[chuckling]
I'm nothing more than just an ordinary handsome hero.
[Yoko gasping]
Lucien.
Now this is the part where you start getting all teary-eyed
and lose control and give me a passionate kiss.
[Yoko gasping]
But then that would make me turn back into Lucien,
and I'm not ready for that.
So, I'll have to take a rain check
and save it for the day I take your V-card.
[Yoko growling]
[Dark Schneider whining]
That hurt!
[crying]

[song fades]
[man exclaiming]
[man] This aura.
Something big is happening in there.
Hey, Lynch!
Hurry up and get rid of those two!
I've got a bad feeling about this!
[Lynch] Yes, Doshi.
[all grunting]
What is going on?
It can't be.
Darsh?
[exclaiming]
When you've been around as long as me, there's nothing that surprises you.
[Doshi cackling]
I thought you fools were smarter than that.
You should know you're no match for Lynch!
He was created by me, Doshi, the world-famous necromancer.
I created him by assembling the very best parts
collected from the corpses of 100 of the strongest warriors and knights!
Lynch is the ultimate undead soldier!
I, Doshi, the world-famous necromancer,
granted Lynch my magic power,
and Lord Abigail gave him the Demon Mail, the legendary suit of armor!
Lynch is now invincible!
A couple of weaklings like you could never beat him!
Enjoy the show as Ninja Master Gara and Nei, the Empress of Thunder,
meet their demise at the hands of this magnificent work of art
created by me, Doshi, the world-famous necromancer!
[Doshi cackling]
Famous?
None of us have ever even heard of you, shorty.
[Arshes] Hmm.
Now hurry up and send your little puppet over here
so I can chop him to pieces, armor and all.
I'll show you the power of the ultimate secrets of the sword.
[ninja gasping] What's that mysterious stance?
[ninja 2] They're using their biggest move!
[Doshi cackling]
I'm not short, and you're gonna pay for that!
Show them what you're made of, Lynch! Go kill the traitors!
True Majinken!
Secret Haouken Thunder Claw Strike!
[groaning] No way!
Serves you right, pipsqueak.
[both gasping]
[Lynch growling]
- Oh no! - [Gara gasping]
[Lynch growling, yelling]
[Arshes and Gara grunting]
[ninjas gasping]
[cackling]
Your swords won't work against the Demon Mail.
You'll soon find out how impotent you fools are against us!
[Gara groaning]
What's going on here?
Something's affecting my strength. I'm too...
- [Gara groaning] - [suspenseful music playing]
Ha! I thought you used to be one of the Four Divine Kings?
You're so weak. There's no point trying to fight.
At this very moment, as Anthrasax awakens,
the God of Destruction's tremendous energy is flowing into Lynch and the Demon Mail.
I'd say, at your current level, you can't touch Lynch.
You couldn't even put a scratch on his armor.
[cackling]
[Arshes] I can't die like this.
Darsh might come back to life.
[Arshes groaning]
[Gara] Damn! This is bad.
Now my vision's getting hazy.
- [Doshi grunting] - [Arshes grunting]
[Doshi efforting]
[scoffing] Your newfound power of good is useless.
You're nothing in the face of the power
of the God of Destruction's overwhelming evil.
- [efforting] Do you understand now? - [Arshes groaning]
[cackling] I'm gonna teach you two a lesson.
I'm gonna make you pay dearly for your wisecrack about me being short!
[Gara and Arshes gasping]
[Lynch] It's time.
This is where you die!
[Arshes] Darsh...
[Lynch] Take this!
Fierce Destruction Raging Roar...
You're the one who's gonna be dying here!
Wha...? No way.
[Arshes' breath shuddering]
Hold on!
What's going on? Where'd this guy come from?
Oh, Darsh.
You're not the only ones who got stronger with the power of evil!
I'm gonna smack you back to where you came from!
Now go!
[Doshi and Lynch screaming]
You're kidding.
[Arshes crying]
[Dark Schneider] You heard me.
Go back to hell and take your corpses with you!
Damned!
[Doshi screaming]
[Arshes] Darsh...
Darsh. Darsh!
[dramatic music playing]
[Arshes] Darsh!
- You're here! Darsh. Darsh! - It's okay. There, there. Don't cry.
- Everything's all right. - Oh! [sobbing] Darsh!
What the heck is going on here?
Are you really alive?
Are you sure you're not an undead?
You idiot. Look at my long legs. They're real.
You'd think you would've learned by now
that handsome, young heroes like me are immortal.
But comedic side characters like you,
the gods created in their spare time as a joke,
never come back to life once they're dead.
You should be more careful.
You're such a bastard!
You think it's funny playing with everyone's emotions like that, huh?
It's not cool making such a show of ripping your heart out.
You didn't even know if you'd be able to come back to life, you idiot!
What were you going to do?
[Arshes grunting]
Like I said, handsome guys like me are immortal.
And on top of that,
we've got two of the Four Divine Kings right here.
I knew you'd figure out a way to bring me back to life.
You're such a reckless, irresponsible, lazy idiot!
I don't know why I put up with you!
Very impressive, ninja army.
They deal with things fast.
[Dark Schneider] What a huge pyre.
Well then, let's go make our triumphant return.
[crowd cheering]
TRIUMPHANT RETURN
[woman] They're back!
[man] Dark Schneider!
[man 2] Yeah! Thank you!
This is quite the celebration.
Of course, it is! Why wouldn't it be?
We're the ones who saved the whole kingdom.
Actually, they're all cheering for me
since I'm the one who had to come and save your butt.
Dark Schneider!
Lucien! Gara!
Hey!
It's Yoko! And Sheila.
[Arshes grunting]
[Sheila gasping]
[Yoko groaning]
[Yoko] Whoa. This could be trouble.
[Arshes grunting]
[Sheila gasping]
Hmm? Is there something wrong, Arsh?
Uh...
[crowd cheering]
[priest] That was amazing, Dark Schneider!
[priest 2] We're so glad you came back to life!
[priest 3] You truly are immortal!
[priest 4] Indeed!
Come, Yoko! Let us go to the banquet hall!
[Yoko] Huh? Uh, hey!
[dramatic music playing]
[Lars] Everyone thinks that Dark Schneider resurrected himself on his own,
but Geo knows the truth.
Dark Schneider's resurrection, ironically, happened due to the power of darkness
given off by the awakening demon god.
However, I saw Dark Schneider transform into Lucien Renlen back there.
What does that mean?
Is Lucien Renlen...?
Could it be?
[priest] Impressive! Master Gara fought with the fury of a raging lion!
Huh? Did he really?
The King is absent today due to injuries,
but he asked me to convey our gratitude.
We thank you, Gara.
[Gara munching] Don't worry about it.
Say. Have you heard any news as to why Dark Schneider hasn't arrived yet?
Yes. He said he was feeling tired,
so he went to his room with Empress Nei.
Huh.
By the way, I don't see Yoko here either.
What a boring party.
[Sheila grunting]
[Dark Schneider scoffing] It got destroyed in a flash.
[Dark Schneider chuckling]
- [footsteps approaching] - [Arshes whimpering]
Oh. Hey, what's the matter with you?
There's no reason to cry, huh?
Look, you're still wearing the same outfit?
- Hurry up and change. - [Arshes gasping]
Well, I'll say one thing. You have an interesting sense of style.
Darsh, I...
[Dark Schneider] I'll help you get dressed.
I'm really sorry.
Can... can you please forgive me?
Arshes,
I love you.
[Arshes gasping]
- [tender music playing] - You really do?
I... I love you too!
[Arshes sobbing]
I tried to kill you,
but still, you did it all for me.
Just for me.
I'm so sorry!
Don't hate me! I couldn't live without you!
[Dark Schneider chuckling]
[Dark Schneider] You're funny.
[Arshes sobbing]
I ripped my heart out,
and I'd do it again anytime for you, Arsh.
I raised you and love you like a daughter. You know that.
[Arshes] Daughter?
It's fine.
He can think of me as a daughter,
as long as he loves me.
Darsh...
I love you.
[Yoko] That bastard.
He saved Meta-llicana, but he's still an enemy to women!
[Yoko sighing]
[Yoko] He's so different from when he's Lucien.
It's obvious he doesn't care at all about a girl's feelings!
But no matter how bad he gets, he's still Lucien, right?
Oh, I feel sorry for Lucien.
I miss you, Lucien.
[door opening]
[Dark Schneider] Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
[Yoko snoring]
[Dark Schneider] Merry Christmas, Yoko.
- [Yoko] What are you doing, Lucien? - [gasping]
Uh, what do you mean? I'm Santa Claus.
I was just leaving a present for you in your sock.
[Yoko groaning]
[Dark Schneider grunting]
How did you know it was me with this beard?
[Dark Schneider grunting]
I'm just trying to have a little bit of fun, you know?
[Dark Schneider] I wanted to give back the 500 yen I borrowed from you.
[sighing] When you borrow money,
you're supposed to pay it back with interest, Santa.
- [Yoko gasping] - [Dark Schneider] I'll pay with my body.
[Dark Schneider grunting]
- [dramatic music playing] - [Abigail] What did you say?
Dark Schneider has come back to life?
That's impossible! What happened to the army I sent?
What happened to Lynch?
Anthrasax's evil waves
were supposed to have turned Lynch into the ultimate zombie!
And on top of that, the Demon Mail repels all magic.
It's stronger than any sword. It's an invincible suit of armor!
[man] Uh, w-w-well...
[Abigail] But i-it can't be!
He hit him with a dropkick?
That's really all it took?
[screaming]
What kind of frightful man could do such a thing?
[man 2] He defeated Lynch with a single attack?
[Abigail] That man is no mere human!
[Dark Schneider laughing]
[Abigail] Could it be?
When Anthrasax started to awaken,
did the power flow into Dark Schneider as well?
Anthrasax's waves of evil have a strong effect on anyone
with close ties to the darkness.
It must've affected Dark Schneider's power in the same way it did Lynch's.
Hmm.
Dark Schneider once ruled over all of the darkness.
He's the one who would be affected most.
[Kall-Su] Hmm. Resurrecting Anthrasax in a hurry seems to have backfired.
Gara switched sides, and Nei is still alive.
Since the Four Divine Kings have split into two groups,
we'll have to fight each other.
You, my friend, are one very unlucky man.
[Kall-Su chuckling]
[gasping] Did you see that? Lord Kall-Su just...
He just smiled.
It's the first time.
[Abigail] Dark Schneider, you bastard!
How dare you lay a hand on my lovely monsters!
[shuddering]
Lord Abigail looks angry.
[gasping] He's never been angry like this before.
[Abigail] You're not going to get away with this, Dark Schneider!
I'm going to send my next undead soldier to wring your scrawny, little neck!
[soldiers screaming]
[roaring]
[soldiers screaming]
[all screaming]
[man] The cyclops!
[roaring]
[Geo] Just as I thought,
the armor doesn't even have a single scratch on it.
The Demon Mail.
According to ancient texts, there was a set of three weapons and armors
named "Demon", "Devil", and "Satan"
that have existed throughout history.
They are known as the three demonic treasures.
One of them is the Demon Mail,
which is said to have the ability to block all magic,
and to be harder than any sword.
[Gara] Then that's what repelled my Majinken attack and Nei's thunder attack
right before they hit the armor.
So, whoever wears it becomes invincible.
Is that right, Geo?
Don't even think about it.
Magic weapons named after demons can only be wielded
by creatures from the underworld and the undead.
Which means only those who were given life by the darkness.
What if I try it on?
I wouldn't advise it.
If a living being were to try using it,
the armor would devour his body and soul on the spot.
Not even a single piece of flesh would be left.
[man screaming]
Wow, really? How scary.
You said there are three, so that means there's two still out there, right?
So, could that mean that Abigail...
[Geo] Hmm.
The ancient texts were damaged, so I don't know very much about those two,
but I do know a little about the other one.
However, they're rare items, so it's highly unlikely that all three of them
would be in the enemy's hands all at once.
Enough talk! What are the other two arms?
[dramatic music playing]
One is the Devil Mace, otherwise known as the Mace of Earth.
It's a legendary weapon, rivaling the thunder sword,
which is said to control ground tremors,
and the fire sword.
They say that the mace's power can create great earthquakes!
[Gara] Earthquakes, huh?
Yes, and that's not all.
The Devil Mace appears to have a frightful power now, or so I've heard.
So you couldn't read the text because it was damaged?
Yes. That's right.
Well, in any case, swords work against the Devil Mace, right?
Don't you worry, old man!
It doesn't matter what the Devil Mace can do,
the Murasame Blade will cut right through it!
[laughing]
Great Priest! It's an enemy attack!
A cyclops with a giant mace is coming through the city,
and it's heading this way!
Huh? What? A giant mace?
C-c-could it be?
Huh? What's that?
[Arshes grunting]
Hmm? Oh, hey. You're awake.
What's wrong? When did you...? Uh... [grunting]
Hold on. Where do you think you're going?
You said you wouldn't leave me.
Relax, would you?
Give me a break. I'm not going anywhere, all right?
Seriously, girl. I'm beginning to think you're never gonna grow up.
Look. It's a fire.
Something got into the city.
It's beautiful.
Yeah, it sure is.
[Doshi cackling]
What a pack of incompetent fools!
I, Doshi, the genius necromancer,
am the one who created Vivian, the undead cyclops!
You're defenseless and you'll never defeat him! [cackling]
[man grunting]
[Doshi] Cyclopes naturally have strong muscles,
so killing things comes naturally to them.
But Vivian's body contains tissue transplanted from Anthrasax,
which makes Vivian the ultimate muscleman.
He's a beautiful creature, don't you agree?
Now that Vivian has taken control of the Devil Mace from Lord Abigail,
he'll be even stronger and victory will be a cinch! [cackling]
Come, Vivian!
It's time for you to unleash the power of your mace!
[Vivian roaring]
[Vivian grunting]
[gasping] What was that?
- [gasping] What's happening? - [gasping] Earthquake!
[loud thudding]
[Doshi cackling]
It's incredible, isn't it?
Beating Dark Schneider is going to be even easier than I had imagined!
[Doshi cackling]
Well, I better get moving.
I need to gather some parts for my next undead soldier
to offer Lord Abigail while the corpses are still fresh.
[girl] Mother! Mother!
[woman groaning]
Mother.
[Doshi] Little girl!
[girl gasping]
You've got good eyes, and I need them for my next undead soldier.
You won't be needing them anymore.
[Doshi cackling] Hand them over!
[girl screaming, grunting]
No, Ema!
Please stop! What are you doing to my daughter...
[gasping] Mother, no!
[Doshi cackling]
You're wide open and defenseless!
- [Doshi efforting] - [Ema screaming]
Can't you see there's no way you can escape?
So, hand over those eyeballs now!
[Doshi grunting]
Did I hear you say you were looking for some eyeballs?
- Wow. - You'll be safe now.
- No way! [groaning] - [hard rock music playing]
What... what are you going to do?
[Doshi screaming]
[Doshi grunting]
[Doshi groaning]
Don't you dare touch me again, or you'll regret the day you were born.
[Doshi grunting, screaming]
[Doshi exclaiming, cackling]
You silly fool! Don't you know your fate is to die?
[Doshi grunting]
S-stop! If you kick me one more time, I'm going to kill you
without giving you the chance to beg for your life.
[Doshi grunting]
So you want eyeballs that bad, huh? [chuckling]
Well, I got a pair you can have right now!
Huh? Really? Do you mean it?
You can have your eyeballs!
[screaming] Stop! That hurts! I beg you!
I can't stop! Nothing in this world gives me more pleasure
than tearing apart wimps like you!
For the last time, let go of me!
[Doshi screaming]
He hasn't changed at all.
The same old lovable Dark Schneider.
Definitely.
[Doshi growling]
I don't think you know who you're dealing with, you arrogant bastard.
Vivian! Kill him!
Pulverize this man!
[Vivian growling]
[roaring]
Is this your idea of a joke?
I'm a million times stronger than him!
Vengeance! Thunder cannon wave attack!
[Vivian grunting, screaming]
Look at that. He actually beat him.
Nice one, Darsh!
[gasping] No way! It can't be!
[scoffing] You fool! Did you really think you could beat me?
The great Dark Schneider can't be defeated by a little, one-eyed puppet.
[Vivian groaning]
[squelching]
[Vivian moaning]
[Vivian growling]
[intense music playing]
No way. His body is actually healing!
Interesting.
[Vivian grunting]
[Vivian groaning]
What is it? It's coming back to life!
It's transforming into something strange!
[Vivian roaring]
Gara, what is that thing doing?
[Vivian growling, roaring]
[Dark Schneider scoffing]
[ending theme song playing]
[song fades]
