Episode 10
It's Showtime for Blue Keeper!

-[yelps, grunts]
-[gasps]

What are you...
[gasps]

We're not there yet? I'm getting annoyed.

Be patient. Just a little longer...

[Fighter XX yelps]

Don't you dare order me around.

[groans]

-Want another hole?
-[gasps]

Wait! Please, wait!

What?

[Fighter D] This fighter is as good
as a c*ptive with no will to fight back.

They may be our enemy,
but shouldn't we treat them with respect?

[breathing heavily]

[scoffs]

[Blue Keeper laughs]

[Blue Keeper] Our enemy?
This thing? Don't get the wrong idea.

When we talk about
fighting against monsters,

we are referring to boss monsters.

-It doesn't include weakass fighters.
-[shaky breathing]

[annoyed grunt]

We're not equals.
They're beneath my notice.

In that case, here's some advice.

A single move from the very thing that is
beneath your notice could cost your life.

-What?
-Please, let's leave it at that.

It's just a little up ahead, I promise.

[Fighter D] It was this close?

Was XX collecting the keys
to prevent the cadets from coming here?

Can one of you...

[Blue Keeper] Move.

[loud grunt]

[expl*si*n]

[Blue Keeper] What the heck is this?

[gasps]

You've grown bigger
since the last time we met.

Are you in your growth spurt?

[Peltrola] My, my.

If it isn't Blue Keeper.
It's been a while.

I'm glad to see you.

[Fighter D] A boss monster...
So they really are alive!

I'm truly sorry, Lord Peltrola!

I'm afraid that I must trouble you
due to my incompetence!

Please fulfill our desperate wish
of eliminating the Dragon Keepers now!

[Blue Keeper] Come on,
is that something to talk about

in front of the person in question?

[Peltrola] That's dangerous.
Please put down your spear.

Let us talk things out.

I do not want you to resort to
a foolish choice such as violence.

I don't make it a habit to talk to plants.
Shut up and die!

I'm for it!

If you really are a boss monster,
I wish to speak with you.

Huh? Who are you?

Don't get in the way, you weakling.

I'm fighting one-on-one
with that boss monster!

[annoyed grunt]

Hey! You've crossed the line.

It's the most heinous of crimes,
easily punishable by death!

Divine Artifact, Manifest!

[♪ dramatic music playing]

[scoffs]

[grunts]

[Peltrola groans]

Lord Peltrola!

[thudding]

-[scoffs]
-You!

-How dare you...
-[Peltrola] Do not be hasty, XX!

What a foolish surface-dweller.

Realize that you shall never
be able to judge me

-with your insignificant standards.
-[Fighter D] What's up with their voice?

[Peltrola] I am an existence

-far surpassing you.
-[gasps]

[crackling]

[gasps]

[♪ dramatic music continues]

I am God.

[crackling]

[Fighter D gasps]

[chuckles]

Lord Peltrola... You are the light.
Please, guide us!

Interesting.

[♪ theme music playing]

Go! Go! Loser Ranger!

Divine Artifact, Manifest!

[♪ tense music playing]

[grunts]

-[expl*si*n]
-[Fighter D grunts]

Even a boss monster is no match for him?

Huh?

[Blue Keeper]
These guys are gushing out like insects.

[Peltrola] This won't end
until you find my real body.

You're annoying!

[gags]

[thumps]

Wow. They're fighting equally
with that Blue Keeper...

No, it looks like
they have a slight advantage!

Of course.
They are a cut above us fighters.

Boss monsters have the power
to destroy the Rangers!

[grunts]
Lord Peltrola!

H-Hey!

[Peltrola] Oh. You're here, XX.

Come, you should pay your respects.

Please do not worry.
He is D, another fighter.

He had once been reduced
to the Rangers' pawn,

but he is now on our side.

What's the matter? Say something.

Lord Peltrola. It's... been a while.

[Peltrola] D. You did well to fight
on behalf of us monsters.

You must have suffered considerably.

Thank you for protecting the fortress
while the boss monsters are absent.

Now that I'm here,
there is no need to fear.

[Peltrola] We have only one desire,
and that is world domination.

Will you join us?

[Fighter D] World domination...

[Peltrola] Now then, shall we send
the Blue Keeper and the other cadets

to where that lamb is?

[inaudible chatter]

-[blasts]
-[Fighter D grunts]

[grunting]

What?

-What?
-Huh?

[Peltrola] D! What is the meaning of this?

[Fighter D] Well, the thing is, um...

My hand kind of slipped
and ended up stabbing you.

[Peltrola] A fighter dares rebel
against me, a boss monster?

Preposterous...

-[Fighter D grunting]
-[Peltrola groans]

[Fighter XX] L-Lord Peltrola...

A boss monster... You... What have you...

[panting]

I... What did I just do?

[surprised grunt]

How could you!
Boss monsters are our birth parents!

Our masters
whom we must swear absolute fealty to!

How could you k*ll them?

This is unforgivable,
even if the world turns upside down!

When you saved me from Blue Keeper,

I almost placed my trust in you again.

-Tell me!
-[grunts]

Aren't you... our comrade?

Comrade...

[inaudible chatter]

[Fighter D] Damn it.

I could care less about that guy, so why...
[grunts]

Answer me.

Monsters or the Rangers,
which side are you on?

-[both gasp]
-[Fighter XX] Lord Peltrola!

[Peltrola] As expected
of a Dragon Keeper, I guess.

You said that this won't end
until I k*ll the main body, right?

I'm going to cut down
the numbers quickly and find it!

[grunts]
Blue Keeper!

[loud grunt]

[Peltrola] Blue Keeper.

The truth is that the one
you're dealing with now,

as well as the me right here,

are all my real bodies.

As long as one of me manages
to get to the surface through this hole,

I will have survived.

You've dug your own grave.

I shall once again conserve my strength
silently on the surface,

where food is abundant.

Hmm?

[Tokita] You visit someone's house
and leave without even a greeting...

Isn't that rude?

[Hisui] Boss Monster.

Given our relationship,
there's no need to be shy.

We'll show you some good hospitality.
[snickers]

[all] Divine Artifact, Manifest!

[Peltrola] Come, Rangers!

[yells]

[exclaims]

[grunts]

Fast-Forward.

[gasps]

[♪ intense action music playing]

We did it.

Watch your back, old man!

[Hisui] Man, that was awful.
But I'm sure about this taste.

Are you Peltrola?

[Peltrola] Oh? To think that someone
who's not a Dragon Keeper knows me.

Are you from the Green Squadron?

[Hisui] You got it. I'm Junior First Rank
Kanon Hisui from the Green Squadron,

specializing in monster elimination
via covert ops.

I've been searching for you
for a long time!

Tokita!

[yells]

[growls]

[annoyed grunt]

[Suzukiri] Mute.

[Peltrola] Hmm?

Aren't you getting pushed around?
You okay?

If you're a boss monster,

you should get rid of
the Junior First Ranks quickly.

[Peltrola] You're...

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

Now then, what will you do?

-This is...
-No way...

[loud grunt]

[Peltrola] It appears that I can no longer
rely on the clones that I sent out.

-In that case...
-[Fighter XX] That can't be...

-Lord Peltrola!
-[Fighter D] Wait!

[grunts]
Let go! I'm going to assist them.

Can't you tell? It's over already!

[Peltrola] There is no cause for worry.

-[Fighter XX] Lord Peltrola!
-Whoa, you're too close!

[Peltrola] Allow me to show you
the true power of a boss monster.

XX. It takes time
for me to use this skill,

so protect me.

[Fighter XX] Please leave it to me.

[Blue Keeper] Why are you sneaking around?

[gasps]

[both grunt]

[groans]

-[Fighter XX groaning]
-[Peltrola] My precious XX.

You did well to serve me!

[Fighter D] Damn it...

They're a boss monster,
yet they used XX as a shield to escape!

[staff 1] Lord Monster has arrived!

[Fighter D] After this and that,

us monsters finally achieved
world domination.

-[staff 2] Welcome, Lord Fighter.
-[Fighter D] Hmm?

Can I take your coat, Lord XX?

-Hey, I'm not XX!
-[both whimper]

The name's Fighter D!

[both gasp]
P-Please accept our apology!

I'm big-hearted, so I shall forgive you!

-[Fighter D chuckling]
-[both] You're too kind!

[Fighter XX] So this is the best cuisine
they have on the surface?

I don't like it.

-Hey, chef!
-[gasps]

Did you call for me?

[Fighter D] The food was good.

I am so grateful!
My daughter's a fan of yours!

[delighted exhale]

[Fighter D]
What a good world we live in now.

-[door opens, closes]
-[Yamato] Wow, this place's awesome!

Kurusu, you need to show
some manners here.

Where's the food?

-[staff 2] Hey, you all!
-[all] Huh?

Lord Monster
is in the middle of their meal!

-Hey! Oh, let them pass.
-[grunts]

They're my guests.

Hey. It's been a while, D.

Pardon me,
but aren't they surface-dwellers?

[Fighter D] That's right.
However, they're special.

Eat your fill and make sure
you cherish this moment forever!

There's no need to be shy.
I have 10 billion saved up!

Wow!

My portrait's going to be
on the new bill issued next year!

Your face will be printed on money?

[Fighter D] My house is 100 times
the size of Tokyo Dome!

I see! I don't really get that!

[Fighter D] I'm ranked
the sexiest monster by women!

I'm so mad!

-If only I became a Dragon Keeper!
-[laughing]

After all, he dissolved the Ranger Force.

But this was for the better.

We didn't know that the Dragon Keepers
were such horrible people!

Yes, yes.

[Ranmaru] And we surface-dwellers
are just as guilty.

Now that we've lost the w*r,

we don't have the right to complain
no matter how the monsters treat us.

Oh, I see.

-[staff 2] Lord D.
-Huh?

Another guest of yours has arrived.

[Fighter D] What?

-[grunts]
-Oh, this is a nice restaurant.

[Fighter D] Oh, Lord Peltrola...

[Peltrola] Hmm... Call the chef over.

Lord Boss Monster!
Do you require something from me?

[Peltrola] Did you cook these?

Yes!

[blasts]

Fighter D

[♪ tense music playing]

[body thuds]

[Peltrola] Know your place.

How dare surface-dwellers,
an existence beneath livestock,

k*ll other living beings for food?

Unforgivable.

I-I'm really sorry...

You guys, get away!

D, calm down.

We'd give anything
to be k*lled by a boss monster.

After all,

we surface-dwellers have committed
a mortal sin to deserve this.

But that's...

[Peltrola] All right,
this restaurant closes today!

[expl*si*n]

-[Sakurama] Congratulations.
-Huh?

[Sakurama]
You've finally achieved your goal.

I lost.

[Fighter D] Sakurama...

This is what things look like
after the Rangers are destroyed.

It's the world domination
that you've dreamed of.

[Fighter D] No.
This isn't what I wanted to do!

[Sakurama] Yes, it is.

You just never imagined
what would happen to the world

after achieving world domination.

What you saw will become reality
so long as you destroy the Rangers

while the boss monster is still alive.

The humans who once shared a bond
with you... will all die.

-[gasps]
-And that includes me too, of course.

Don't you think it's too greedy to expect
that everything will go your way?

It will never happen.
This is an obvious bad move.

[Sakurama] It's not too late now.

[shaky breathing]

[Sakurama] Please work with me.

Give up on destroying,

and we'll work together
to fix them instead.

I... I...

-[Fighter XX] L-Lord Peltrola...
-[gasps]

[Fighter XX] Are you safe... Lord Peltrola...

[Fighter D] Stop...

[shaky breathing]
I shall join you soon.

I will follow you... Lord Peltrola...

[Fighter D] They're not here anymore!

[Fighter XX] What should I do?

We fighters are created to fight.

For the prosperity of monsters...
To eliminate the Rangers...

Tell me...

What am I supposed to fight for
from this moment on?

I am... a monster.

[soft groan]

Oh, seems like you're awake.

What happened to me...

[Shion gasps]
What about the keys?

Apparently, this isn't the time
to be worrying about that.

I don't know what's going on,

but it appears that monsters
have infiltrated the facility.

-[surprised grunt]
-Anyway, Shion,

you still need us
to lend you our shoulders?

My bad.

[chuckles]

I'd prefer if you could do that
since I fractured a bone.

What? Usukubo's pretty good.

The exam should be over by now.

The bell didn't ring, right?

Seems like it's an emergency now,

so don't you think it's still possible
to work together and get back the keys?

Is this even the time to talk about that?

But think about it. Isn't it a good idea?

No, we should stick to the rules.

We don't have the right
to get the keys back.

So stubborn!

You're pretty serious
when it comes to the weirdest things.

I see.
So I couldn't become an official Ranger.

Shion, Akebayashi, Yukino. I'm sorry.

Huh? What's up?

There's no need for you
to apologize, Ishikawa.

No, it's all my fault.

[gasps]
Someone's there! Let's talk later.

Let's get them to protect us now,

and leave the monster extermination work
to the higher-ups...

[Yukino gasps]

[♪ tense music playing]

-[Akebayashi] What's wrong?
-[gasps]

[Yukino groans]
I think I've got the wrong person.

What's that? You're funny.

-[Akebayashi gasps]
-[Shion] I'm borrowing this!

[Usukubo] Is that really a monster?

Shouldn't we join the fight too?

We've been instructed to evacuate!

Besides, we need to ensure
that Hibiki and Koguma are safe!

Hey, over there!

-Was that...
-A monster?

-It just looked like a bird to me...
-[grunts]

Kurusu!

I don't get it, but I have a feeling
that we can't let it escape!

What? What should we do
at times like this? Hey, Shi...

Shippou!

-[Nadeshiko yells]
-[gasps]

[panting]

[gasps]

You're not getting away!

[gasps]

Shion!

[Shion] A boss monster...

[Peltrola] Who are you?

Why do you care? I'm your enemy.

It doesn't matter
if I'm a cadet or an official Ranger.

I'm a human and you're a monster,
and that's enough reason to fight!

[Peltrola] Oh, you're a cadet?
That makes you the same as that lamb.

Creating rash people like you
is also the sin of the Rangers.

How pitiful.

I shall send all of you to where he is.

[Urabe] Are you talking about Ranmaru?

-Urabe!
-So you're safe!

Are you the one who took out Ranmaru?

[Peltrola] He was a foolish lamb
who pointed a blade at me,

unable to escape from the Rangers' curse.

[all gasp]

[Peltrola]
To prevent further futile conflicts,

it appears that it is finally time
to let the surface-dwellers know.

The countless atrocities
that the Rangers have committed,

as well as the might of us monsters.

This one really seems
to detest the Rangers.

It's a monster, after all.

Still, we have the right to be mad
since our comrade was taken out!

Hey, boss monster. Fight us
before you head out to the surface.

[Peltrola] Hmm...

-We're worthy of it, aren't we?
-I agree.

We also are...

-the Rangers!
-[all] The Rangers!

[Peltrola scoffs]
This is why you'll all die!

-[annoyed grunt]
-[footsteps approaching]

[surprised grunt]

[Fighter D] I'm a monster.
I'll destroy anyone who gets in my way.

You guys are the ones
who made us this way.

I won't side with anyone.

I am on my own side.

You may be a boss monster,

but you're my enemy
if your ideals differ from mine!

I'll gladly be greedy.

I'll even make a bad move.

I'm a nefarious monster.

I won't be satisfied
until everything goes my way!

[♪ closing theme music playing]

Translated by Qianni Lu

Come, let's compete! The one
who eats more plates of sushi passes!

-I'm going to win.
-[Fighter D and Sakurama] Huh?

[chuckles]
Oh, you're kidding!

I'm going to have at least 30 plates!

What? I'll have at least 31 plates!
I have another stomach for sushi!

[Fighter D] Next episode,
"On the Road to My Justice!"

My stomach's a universe!

[Fighter D]
Stop talking and start eating, Sakurama.
