Kage's tragic childhood following the purge of his people from the Kingdom of Bo is recounted. As the match between Bojji and Daida continues, Bojji's fighting style is denounced as cowardly, and he is instructed by Domas to adopt a more regal style.

A panelist from the Ranking of Kings Committee visits the kingdom to give Daida his ranking. While traveling, Bojji encounters an unusual hunter who teaches him about the mystery of life. While eating around a campfire, an attempt is made on Bojji's life.

After the latest attempt on his life, Bojji is overjoyed to discover that he has a secret guardian. Domas is willing to do whatever it takes to gain Daida's trust. The Magic Mirror directs Daida to an elixir that will supposedly grant him Bosse's power.

Bojji and Kage meet Desha, the king of the underworld, who is said to be able to make ordinary men into powerful kings. However, after testing Bojji's skill level, Desha refuses to train him. Apeas finds Daida and the mirror, and must choose a side.

Kage pleads with Desha's brother Despa to make Bojji powerful enough to be king, and Despa takes Bojji on as an apprentice. After making his assessment, Despa is astounded by how little power Bojji actually has, but refuses to give up on training him.

The story of Bosse's rise to power and Bojji's birth is revealed. Domas cautions Hokuro about returning to the castle, and the fate which likely awaits him there, before deciding to walk away himself. A plot to kill one of the royal court takes shape.

Bojji, Kage and Despa go out to dinner to celebrate the conclusion of Bojji's training. Kage has misgivings about Bojji's sword until a fight breaks out at dinner, and Bojji has to defend himself. Bojji and Kage must consider what their next step will be.

Outside the castle, Hiling and her elite force prepare to make their move. Meanwhile, inside the castle, The Magic Mirror and Apeas lead the six criminals toward the throne room. Bojji and Kage take heart at the news that an ally will be joining them.

Bosse tells Bebin the story of when he found the disfigured Miranjo, until Bebin is called away. As Bojji and Despa look on, Kage is faced with a life-or-death decision, and finds help from an unexpected source. The Big Four step forward to face Ouken.

Miranjo finds herself answering to Shiina and her own mother for her actions. Bojji is faced with the prospect of passing judgment on Miranjo. The situation with Ouken grows even more dire until a new warrior arrives, but is this newcomer really an ally?

Realizing that Bosse did not wish to be brought back to life, Miranjo apologizes. Bosse issues an ultimatum to the others present to either side with him or be killed. Despa fears that Bojji may not measure up as his showdown with Bosse gets underway.

Bosse shows Daida the happy memories of the time he spent with Miranjo, and how he received his strength from the demon. After catching the demon, Despa attempts to get his wish for Ouken granted, but Bojji and Daida have a different wish in mind.

Daida acknowledges and accepts Miranjo's crimes, then forgives her. As part of his atonement, Daida relinquishes the throne to Bojji. However, Kage feels out of place with his friend's new position of distinction, and leaves Bojji to reign on his own.
