What a relief.
He's back to being Lucien.
He smells like he always does.
That was without a doubt Dark Schneider.
Father…
It looks like Kevidubu
got himself killed.
Master Gara, that evil aura…
Yeah, that was Venom.
Dark Schneider.
He's really back.
Fifteen years ago,
he led the four of us
to conquer the world.
For four years, he fought a war against four kingdoms.
He was unstoppable.
But why doesn't Dark Schneider
lend us his strength?
On the contrary, he seems to be protecting the kingdom.
That's what we're here to find out.
But what if Dark Schneider
ends up becoming our enemy?
He'd be the strongest enemy ever.
That's for sure.
But if anyone interferes with our plan,
no matter if they're a parent, a sibling, or a friend,
I, Ninja Master Gara,
and my Dark Ninja Army
will kill them before they know it.
Who are you?
Intruders?
Disperse!
-Wait, you cowards! -You can't run!
Murasame Blade!
Majinken!
Let's get to work.
The dark clouds are spreading.
They've begun to block out the sun.
How terrible!
Great Priest Geo, you said the Demon God is being resurrected.
Are you certain of that?
Centuries ago,
humanity prospered.
The Demon God nearly wiped us out.
The God of Destruction, Anthrasax.
It is bound by four seals.
When the first seal is broken,
the Demon God will awaken from its stasis,
and the energy released will cause dark clouds to appear.
So it is written.
The seals are guarded by the four royal bloodlines.
The first seal,
the one guarded by the Kingdom of Judas, must have been broken.
Humanity once again faces the threat of extinction.
How terrible!
I can't believe someone would try to resurrect the Demon God.
And of all people, it had to be Kall-Su!
The other three must be helping him!
Kall-Su?
Who is this Kall-Su?
Kall-Su the magician.
He was Dark Schneider's head disciple
and his closest friend.
In the war, he fought on Dark Schneider's side.
He is almost as powerful as his master.
Some say even more powerful.
Abigail! Where is Abigail?
In the dungeon temple.
He's inside?
He said not to let anyone in.
How is our God doing?
Kall-Su, can you hear this pulse?
Of all the terrifying creatures
created by the magic of the old world,
the God of Destruction is the most powerful.
This is a portent of Anthrasax's resurrection.
One seal is here in Judas Castle, above the dungeon temple.
One is in Meta-llicana, which we will soon attack.
Then once we've conquered the last two countries,
we will have all four seals,
and our Demon God will be completely resurrected.
A fearsome storm of destruction will sweep the land.
A storm wrought by the power of Anthrasax!
What did you say?
You want to turn Lucien into Dark Schneider again?
That magician and his Hydra
were only the vanguards.
Yoko.
The army that stormed Judas Castle will soon invade our country!
In order to fight back…
No way! Not another word!
We just had a major crisis on our hands.
But…
-in the end-- -No!
You can't take us out and put us away as you like.
We're not your tools!
I won't turn Lucien into Dark Schneider!
She's got her guard up completely.
But it is certainly dangerous.
Why are you crying, Yoko?
I hope you'll feel better.
Why is everyone so selfish?
Can't they consider my feelings?
It's so embarrassing for me!
It was the same when I had my first kiss, and then this time.
They can't use my virgin lips as they please!
Hey, Yoko!
Play with me. Come on.
I'm trying to think here, you know.
Be quiet.
Come on, play with me!
-Here! -Oh, stop it!
You're like a puppy.
Leave me alone.
Then I'll do the laundry.
I like washing.
Just go already!
He's such a baby.
WELCOME TO KINDERGARTEN
Geez.
He's so carefree.
I envy him.
Hey, Lucien!
-Dummy! -Doing the laundry!
-You're such a dunce! -Hey, you brats!
It's Yoko!
Musclehead!
Let's scram!
Lucien is really strong, actually!
Hey, are you listening?
Let's do the laundry.
You're so pitiful.
Nothing like when you're Dark Schneider.
…I love too.
Laundry…
I…
Splish, splash…
I…
Which Lucien do I love?
I'm Lucien too!
You're not Lucien.
Was that harsh of me?
He's like a baby chick.
Is he and Dark Schneider the same person?
I just can't believe it.
If Dark Schneider
is who Lucien really is,
then who is the Lucien I've known for almost ten years?
I don't really know.
Who are you?
Yoko…
You're the real Lucien, right?
You won't turn into Dark Schneider again.
Soon…
there will be a war.
Hurry!
We've been urgently summoned!
When we learned
of Kall-Su's plan to resurrect the Demon God,
The castle went on high alert.
Now is the time for us knights to show our strength.
Meta-llicana faces unprecedented danger.
If Anthrasax comes back to life,
all of humanity may be wiped out by its power.
And yet, I am shaken by something more trivial.
I saw a man naked twice.
He always shows up without clothes.
He's proud, uninhibited, and free.
Tia Noto Yoko's own personal wizard.
A magician…
Have you heard? An army of demi-humans is approaching the border.
Not just orcs and goblins,
but lizardmen from the swamps too.
They even have monsters like that Hydra.
Can the knights and warriors beat them?
What will happen to our country?
It's going down.
Unless you surrender.
Who are you?
Ninjas!
Who's there?
You're a sharp girl.
I'm Ninja Master--
Who are you?
That was a good kick, girl.
Let me introduce myself again.
I'm Gara, one of the Four Divine Kings.
I've got something to ask you.
Yoko, daughter of the Great Priest.
Tell me.
Where is Dark Schneider?
I don't know who that is.
What a stubborn girl.
Venom
is Dark Schneider's own original spell.
And I heard a Golem killed the Hydra.
Golems
obey only the master that made them.
Dark Schneider has returned.
And, crazy as it sounds,
he has protected this kingdom from invasion twice now.
Why?
He wants Dark Schneider to join forces with him.
Just give up and tell me.
If not, I'll make things unpleasant for you.
Hey, what are you doing?
Don't you dare try anything funny with me!
What's going on?
Oh, no! If he finds out Dark Schneider is sealed inside Lucien…
It's nothing!
Go back to sleep.
Okay.
Right.
Tell me where he is, or else…
-Stop! -Come on!
No!
What?
Knock it off, Gara!
That voice!
That's my woman!
If you undress her, I'll kill you!
Dark Schneider? For real?
No… It can't be! Why?
You've already unsealed me twice.
The seal is weakening.
While Lucien Renlen sleeps,
I can regain some degree of control.
What? He has been sealed inside a kid?
Yoko!
Yoko! Are you okay?
What's that?
A Wyvern!
Geo Noto Soto!
I've got your daughter!
I'll exchange her for Dark Schneider!
Father!
-Yoko! -Lady Yoko!
Yoko!
Let me go!
Stop struggling! You'll fall.
Where are you taking me?
It's not far as the Wyvern flies.
Look. Can you see it?
What?
My ninja fortress.
Tia Noto Yoko has been abducted by ninjas?
Did they figure out Dark Schneider's secret?
They're trying to get him back.
Fortunately, Lucien Renlen is safe.
The worst has not come to pass.
I'm sleepy.
You must be worried.
I can imagine how you feel,
Geo Noto Soto.
Do you know where she is?
Let's assemble a rescue party!
No, we're up against ninjas.
No one knows their base except…
Where is Yoko?
But Yoko is the only one
who can break the seal.
We'd need another virgin maiden who can use magic.
Not many of those around.
You've got me.
-What? -Oh!
Sheila!
I have been trained
in white magic by the Great Priest.
I didn't even consider that!
Princess Sheila, are you sure?
A virgin maiden's kiss is what you need.
If you would accept me, then…
Absolutely not!
Among royalty, a kiss is proof of marriage.
-You-- -Tia is in danger!
She has done so much for our country.
I can't hide in safety while she suffers.
Oh, merciful Princess! This is why we all admire you!
Such kind, compassionate words!
I forbid it, Sheila!
I cannot let your precious royal lips
touch those of a mere peasant!
Getting upset is bad for your health.
Someone take the old man to his bedroom.
-Yes, sir! -At once!
Let me go, scoundrels! I am the king!
I have told you the procedure.
The spell requires concentration.
I know.
Come here, Lucien Renlen.
Okay!
But isn't this dangerous?
What if he joins Kall-Su once he awakens?
Don't worry, it'll be fine.
They kidnapped Yoko.
That makes them Dark Schneider's enemies.
In truth, did he not save us before?
Awakening him
will carry some risks,
but he won't be back permanently.
As you know, Dark Schneider
now has the memories
of the 14 years he lived as Lucien Renlen.
The identity of Lucien
has affected him significantly.
Among royalty,
a kiss is proof of marriage.
Accept.
This
is a gamble, with the fate of the world at stake.
The only one who can stop Kall-Su from resurrecting the Demon God
is Dark Schneider.
In the name
of the beloved goddess of beauty, Ino Mata…
The reincarnated Dark Schneider
has the possibility of becoming our savior.
Let the seal…
depart.
Dark Schneider…
What's this? He's acting different.
Sheesh!
I can't believe I let some random woman kiss me.
I'm ashamed of myself.
What?
Geo?
Your former ally,
Ninja Master Gara, has abducted Yoko.
I know that.
As her father, I beg you.
Please save my daughter. Save Yoko.
You'll do it, right?
Your dear Yoko is in trouble!
While you're at it, kill the Four Divine Kings
and stop the Demon God's resurrection.
Oh, I don't know…
-What? -Why?
I'm actually pretty pleased
to be rid of that loudmouth Yoko.
You ingrate!
Will you abandon Yoko?
Don't you love Tia Noto Yoko?
As if.
Why are you sulking?
Are you still grumpy after she chewed you out last time?
Shut up, geezer!
Once I conquer the world, I can get all the women I want.
Yoko, Sheila, it doesn't matter.
Let her go, you villain!
You greedy bastard!
How awful can you get?
You're very open with your greed.
What about Tia?
Like I give a crap.
I'm not changing who I am!
I'm disappointed in you!
You bitch…
Now, why don't you tell me
how to unseal Dark Schneider?
No, stay away from me!
