[Kingdom Episode 02 Translation by Kewl0210]
Is this it?
It's just a little shack sunken into the ground.
It's just a shack, Piao!
What the hell is this?
Without getting revenge for you...
and without knowing what was going on...
I came to this place!
Tell me... Piao.
What did you die for?
Why did you lead me...
to this broken down shack?
What on earth is in here?
No way... That can't be...
P-Piao...?
Ancient China.
After learning that the era of saints had ended,
human desire was unleashed.
And a storm of violent wars erupted for 500 years...
until over one hundred states were reduced to merely seven.
And now, a wind of great history gusts from the state of Qin in the far West.
This is the tumultuous tale of a nameless boy and a young king who brought the warring era to its end!

Fated Meeting
Damn, that hurts...
Geez, what a crazy brat! Goddammit!
I've never seen a kid that insanely strong.
He broke my damn ribs.
What a bunch of sorry bastards you are.
You still call yourselves men of Heibei Village?
You're one to talk!
Ya got that right!
Ow!
Hey, what's this?
Somebody... else is coming...
Who's that guy?
Ey, ey. What're you doin'...
H-Hold on...
His appearance... I've heard about it before...
Could... Could that be... a Zhuxiong?!
They're said to have a 200 year long history of assassinations.
The family of assassins, the Zhuxiongs!
The ones who it's said that if they target you, you're as good as dead...?!
He looks like him, but he's not Piao!
But why?
I... can't take my eyes off of him!
As I thought...
The fact that you came means that Piao...
How do you know Piao?!
I don't understand!
Who the hell are you?!
Why do you have the same face as Piao?!
How do you know me and Piao?!
Just what the hell is going on?!
It seems that there isn't time to explain.
Wh-What's that? An enemy?!
Who the hell are you?!
You can no longer escape.
Your life is mine,
King Ying Zheng.
K-King...?
You're... this state's...?
That's right.
Hoho. So, kid, you weren't one of the king's subordinates?
The fact that you're standing here really shows your excellent use of a double...
to allow you to survive.
Double?
Even I'm surprised that such an identical pair of humans exist.
There'd have to be in order to fool me.
Though that was quite an incredible brat.
He's the first one to ever escape even after I'd dealt them a fatal blow.
Though, what a cruel twist of fate that his tenacity backfired...
by allowing me to reach you here.
Xin... Our strength and our hearts are alike...
We're one in body and soul...
If you flap your wings...
I'll be... there with you too...
Xin... take me... with you across the world...
Piao!
Piao...
Piao!
Dammit... It's getting clearer and clearer now!
You're the king!
And you're the assassin!
Piao was a double for the king.
The reason he was brought to the palace in the first place was to be one!
And he was mistaken for the king and killed!
You knew about your younger brother's rebellion, didn't you?!
So you switched places with Piao and ran away to hide in a place like this!
You switched with Piao even though you knew he would be attacked!
Exactly.
You bastaaaard!
This has become very entertaining.
Kid, I think I'll allow you to kill the king.
But I'll be taking his head.
Yeah, I'll kill him. I'll fucking kill him!
That's it, kid.
Let's have a thorough look at your skill.
A thorough look?!
Like hell!
I'm gonna rip out the guts of the one who killed Piao,
you!
His skill with a sword is anything but ordinary.
But...
Pretty good, kid.
Your power, speed, technique...
They're all nearly a perfect match of that of the double you called Piao or whatever.
But still, it's just a superficial sword that has never tasted blood.
H-He's huge!
You're a hundred years too early to even try to challenge me!
Damn!
You've done nothing but waste time.
Ying Zheng...
Prepare yourself.
State of Qin Xianyang
King's Younger Brother, Chenjiao
Have you yet to take my brother's head?
Just a little longer, my lord!
Zhuxiong is in pursuit,
so he should be back with his head momentarily.
What do you mean, "should"?
Now, now. Please calm down, my lord.
Left Chancellor, Jie Shi
There is no assassin greater than Zhuxiong.
Please be at ease.
I see.
But Jie Shi, there are still other obstacles besides my older brother.
Are you taking measures for those?
Without exception.
Other o-obstacles?
Are you not aware?
Changwenjun. I have sent those subordinates that turned Changping to hell in order to dispose of him.
Th-The battle of Changping?
In that battle, our Qin army drove the Zheng army into a castle, cutting them off from provisions.
The Zheng army soldiers suffered from starvation.
It's said that they started killing each other and eating their flesh.
And so, our state of Qin won the battle.
But the supreme commander, General Bai Qi,
took the heads of the 50,000 soldiers that were taken prisoner
and buried 400,000 soldiers alive.
It was the battle of hell, at Changping.
Th-Those subordinates...?
Slaughter all those that oppose me.
Understood.
That's my chancellor.
Wait!
Do you think you've beaten me?
What? Oh, you're still alive?
But you've utterly lost your composure.
I doubt you can stand back up.
H-He's strong. Ridiculously strong.
He's the one Piao lost to.
If I really think about it, I'm no match for someone like him.
I can't win.
P-Piao... I'm sorry...!
Xin!
Don't think at all.
Just keep the idea of avenging Piao in your mind.
Avenging Piao?
You... You...
So you could still stand?
Never speak Piao's name!
Piao...
Piao had everything ahead of him!
And he got caught up in your meaningless brother's quarrel!
Meaningless?
Yeah, meaningless!
Us humans at the base of society don't give a damn who the king is!
And yet... how could you... how could you?!
Shit!
He's dead, ain't he?!
He's never...
coming back!
That was fast! And it was heavier!
K-Kid!
It's true that in terms of raw power, Xin and I are equals.
But he is probably stronger.
Xin is stronger?
Yes.
What an odd thing to say.
Didn't you just say you were equal?
When we have matches, we're perfectly equal.
But if there's some stalwart opponent that even I can't win against, Xin can.
Are you saying he goes easy on you when you fight?
No.
Xin is always serious.
For some reason, he's usually equal to me.
But if I get even one win against him in a match,
Xin will definitely win the next day.
He sounds bothersome.
I guess so.
He may be, but...
Xin is truly strong.
You little brat! Die!
The truly terrifying part has only just begun!
No...
He's started to give up.
What?
Is that all you've got, red old man?!
Shut your mouth!
What an incredible kid...
But if all he does is dodge my sword...
Then he won't win.
What will you do now, Xin?
This is the end!
You've gotten impatient, assassin!
Got you!
You brat!
M-Me? C-Cut?!
YOU LITTLE SHIT!
He disappeared!
My king, if I were to fall,
please take care of Xin.
I'm sure that he...
will fly higher than anyone else!
Th-This can't be!
Me...? By this kid...?!
This is Xin's power...
D... Did you feel Piao's vengeance?!
Did you feel it, you stupid bastard!
Now I'll finish it!
W-Wait!
Please wait! I have a family!
I've got four kids!
If I die, they'll be orphans!
And they'll be slaves for their whole lives!
Please, just spare my life!
For my children's sake, not my life!
Orphans...?
Th-Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Than...
Your crimes have nothing to do with your children.
What will you do next?
Kill me?
If you do,
I won't just stay silent and let you do me in.
A considerable number of people died in order to keep me alive.
Piao being one of them.
You bastard! If you knew that this guy was going to attack him,
why did you let Piao die?!
People's lives don't belong to anyone.
Anyone except themselves.
W-What?
But people have a path.
The path of how... to use that life.
Don't try to confuse me with crap I don't understand!
You may not understand now,
but Piao took my place so that he would become a great general.
That is the path that Piao chose at that point in time.
It seems that you have yet to find your own path.
My... path...?
Piao entrusted this state's king to me.
But this guy practically killed you with his own hands, Piao!
Dammit...! What am I supposed to do?
Tell me, Piao!
Wh-What're you doing?!
Be quiet.
This is bad... Do you not see?
I just... felt the ground shake a little.
Fire!
Anything that moves is a target!
Fire!
Wh-What? What's going on?
An army. Quite a large one.
An army?
What's all that noise this late at night...?
From over here, too!
And from over there!
W-We're surrounded!
The only way out's through the river!
That's impossible.
When did they...?!
What's going on here?!
All of my forces seem to have joined my younger brother.
Even though I sensed the rebellion coming,
the moment I no longer had the forces to suppress it, was the battle already over?
Dammit!
Then I guess I'll go another round!
You're intending to fight an army?
Of course!
Like hell I'm dying in a place like this!
If you give them my head, that may grant you a path to survival.
No way! Piao wouldn't want me to do something like that!
I see.
I don't have enough strength to run up the hill,
so we'll have to slip through along the river!
Make sure you stay with me!
Madness. There's no way you can break through the army's encirclement...
Stay with you?
I'll take my time to figure out whether to kill you or not after I've broken through this encirclement!
So don't leave my side!
I've got no choice. I suppose I'll go with you.
Okay, let's go!
You're!
I know a way through.
Come with me.

Voice of mine
Yeah

Piao knew the risks when he accepted my offer.
He accepted knowing full well it might mean his death!
Beyond endlessly flowing tears,
will you discover a new light, Xin?
Friend!
