What? I still can't see him?
You guys haven't let me see him since the other day.
Is he really not feeling well?
Episode 5 "Flower Banquet"
Yes. For the time being, Nataku-sama cannot have any visitors.
I feel bad that you've been coming by every day, but...
I see. I guess it can't be helped if he's not feeling well.
Then could you give this to him?
You're supposed to bring flowers when you visit sick people, right?
Yes, of course.
Thanks!
Also, could you tell Nataku that my name is Goku?
There is no end to the mayhem down on Earth.
Overlooking such chaos will mar our prestige.
I am ordering you and your army to sortie, Prince Nataku.
Do you understand?
Yes.
One moment, please.
Who are you?
From the western army under the command of the Dragon King of the Western Sea,
I am General Kenren.
What brings you here?
I beg your pardon,
but it appears that Prince Nataku is still wounded from his recent battle with Gyumaoh.
I ask that you dispatch my army for this mission instead.
What?
This man... was with that kid the other day...
Do you honestly think you could take Nataku's place?
At the very least,
I'm stating that I'm a better option than those who hide and come back unharmed.
Kenren! That's enough of your insolence.
I'd prefer that you didn't underestimate us, General Kenren.
My son, Nataku, is the greatest warrior in Heaven.
Mere wounds will not stop him from going into battle
for the sake of Heaven, even if would cost him his life.
Isn't that right, Nataku?
Indeed.
You may take your leave, Nataku.
Yes, sir.
Thanks.
Now then... I believe we're done talking here.
Let us escort General Kenren to solitary confinement.
Bosatsu... What is that?
Doesn't it look great? I found it somewhere.
Found it?
Yeah. These pitiful little flowers were thrown away in a trashcan.
Hey. Did you come down for a visit?
I knew you were a foolish man, but to think it was to this extent...
Never a dull moment, am I right, Dragon King of the Western Sea?
Why didn't you ask for my help? I am your superior officer.
If I had asked Tentei in your stead...
It wouldn't have made any difference.
Not to mention
I just felt like speaking my mind
for whatever reason.
Even though you knew that you'd end up like this?
This isn't a big deal.
Nataku jabbing at me hurt way more.
Acting so mature, even though he's only a kid...
Seeing him like that hurts even worse.
But what hurts the most is the when you can't even tell anyone that you're hurting.
Kenren was removed from his position as general?
Well, they attempted to, anyway...
Apparently Tenpou appealed and had them change their minds.
Field Marshal Tenpou outranks Li Touten, after all.
But we are talking about the same Li Touten
who's using Nataku's title for his own gain.
I'm sure this isn't the end of it.
I wasn't told about any of this.
I'm sure it wasn't worth mentioning.
Am I the only one who didn't know anything?
What the top brass is up to, what's going on with the army...
I was basically left out in the cold.
This is bullshit.
You little brat.
Sometimes you have to ask questions if you want answers.
Though some of us just never bother.
Will you be able to remain that little shrimp's sun?
Well done, Prince Nataku.
I hear you've done splendid work yet again.
Yes, sire.
We are unworthy of your praise. We thank you.
You didn't do a damn thing.
You may take your leave.
Get plenty of rest.
As you wish.
Nataku!
Nataku, over here!
Welcome back!
You're...
Father?
That boy...
He's the heretic child that was born from the earth, isn't he?
Kill him.
I am certain
that his existence will someday become a threat to us.
We need to get rid of him before that.
Heaven has no need for two disgraces, does it?
Nataku? Nataku!
It's me! Did you forget about me? Nataku!
Nata...
Were you able to see Nataku?
Well...
What happened?
How long are you going to sulk?
Go to bed already.
I'm not sulking.
How are you not?
I wonder... if Nataku hates me now.
I mean, our eyes met... He saw me...
I'm sure he had his reasons.
What kind of reason is there for that? I don't get it!
Besides, he's the one who asked me to stay with him.
He seemed a bit lonely.
I... I was also alone for a long time, so I sort of understand.
When I get lonely, right here feels like it's being crushed.
Goku, it might have been a mistake to bring you to Heaven.
Huh?
You're not meant to be here.
You'll probably end up being used by those rotten bastards...
Just like Prince Nataku.
I'll talk to Kanzeon Bosatsu tomorrow
about possibly returning you to Earth.
She should be able to...
Hey, Goku! Wait!
No! Let go of me!
Listen to me, damn it!
Why?! Why would you say something like that?!
I just became friends with Ten-chan and Ken-niichan...
And you just gave me a name...
You get mad at me all the time, but you've never told me to leave!
Sorry... Konzen!
I'm sorry, Konzen! Are you okay?
Kon...
I'm not the sun.
Konzen...
By being so indifferent,
I might've just been taking advantage of my boring, everyday life.
I don't have any power or know-how like Tenpou or Kenren.
Even so...
Even so, I started to think about what I could actually do.
It's all your fault.
You're being weird, Konzen. Did you hit your head?
If you're worried, then take responsibility and stay here.
Okay!
Hey...
The first time I saw you, I thought you were really pretty.
And I thought that if you smiled, you'd be even prettier,
but it really doesn't suit you.
Do you want to die, you monkey?
That night, Ten-chan and Ken-niichan came by unannounced,
I really feel like drinking tonight.
It's a full moon down on Earth, so the blossoms at night are beautiful.
and we all had a flower viewing.
You two...
apparently have nothing better to do.
Well, that's rather rude.
Among all the foods on Earth, ramen is a must.
Konzen makes me ramen sometimes, but it's gross.
Would you like me to make it for you sometime?
Yeah!
All right, Goku. Why don't we climb some trees?
Yeah! Let's race to the top!
Be careful!
I'm going to laugh if you fall, you drunkard.
Tenpou.
Is it possible
for two people to become the war god at once?
Sake
So it crossed your mind, too...
There was a time when there were multiple war gods at once.
However,
if Goku is appointed a war god alongside Nataku...
For Li Touten who is taking advantage of Nataku, of course, Goku would be...
But that would make you the guardian of a war god, Konzen,
which means you would be in his way.
The cherry blossoms were so pretty, I wished Nataku could have been there, too.
It made me a little sad.
Would you guys stop talking about depressing stuff?
Just enjoy the sake and flowers.
Yeah, yeah, we know.
Though the flowers on Earth are much prettier than the ones here.
Aren't they the same cherry blossoms?
They live a different life.
I see.
I would love to see them.
I'm sorry, Konzen!
Nice catch, Konzen! Well done, Dad!
Why the hell did you have to fall on me of all people, you stupid monkey?!
I couldn't help it!
That was definitely your fault, Konzen.
What?!
Goku weighs more than a hundred kilos with his shackles.
Of course the branch would break.
I was surrounded by the people I loved, and we were all laughing.
That's all it was.
That's all it was, but that was enough.
I thought it would last forever.
It appears you've been wounded again.
It must hurt.
My poor boy, Nataku.
You are my pride.
The moment we're alone, Father becomes extremely nice to me.
You are me.
This is the side of my father that frightens me the most.
He scares me, but...
You're all that I have, Nataku.
I become unable to move... unable to struggle...
Because I end up believing that there's actually love.
Shortly after I took my post as field marshal,
a slew of giant demons started to appear on Earth with alarming frequency.
In all honesty, it was more than our forces could handle.
Li Touten was a smart man who rose in the ranks to become the Tentei's secretary.
But he came from a ruined family and couldn't deal with the prejudices he faced.
He ended up despising everyone above him.
Then one day, Li Touten...
Who is that?
One who is allowed to kill.
He is the War God Prince Nataku.
And I'm sure you know all about Nataku's work as the war god since then.
What I'm about to say is just my own speculation.
Nataku's true identity is top secret between the Tentei and the top brass,
but...
I believe that he is an artificial human created by Li Touten.
You could probably even call him a weapon.
It's just a potential theory going around our forces,
but they say he's half demon and half god.
There's no way that would be allowed.
But it is being allowed.
Apparently, Heaven needed a war god that badly.
However, I believe Li Touten himself created that needed.
What?
A suddenly increasing number of battles, an overwhelmed army...
Don't you think the timing was rather convenient?
I'm not sure what his ultimate goal is,
but I'm sure that he will do whatever he can to get rid of Goku,
who could become a war god and threaten his well-being.
Even if it means using Nataku.
What do you mean?
Goku...
What do you mean by "get rid of me"?
It's not true, right?
Nataku wouldn't...
Goku! That idiot!
Wait, Goku!
It's not true. Nataku wouldn't...
We're friends.
He said he wanted to play together.
That's right. My name...
I have to tell him my name.
My name...
Goku!
Will you be able to remain that little shrimp's sun?
What can I possibly do?
I can't even catch up to him...
Damn it!
War God Prince Nataku, come forth.
Nataku's army is being dispatched again.
Which means we get to take it easy.
It's all thanks to the great war god prince.
All these bastards acting like nothing's wrong...
This is bullshit.
We're leaving this next subjugation to you as well, Li Touten.
As you wish.
Let go! Let go of me!
Who's this kid?
Hey! Stop struggling!
Nataku!
It's not true, right?
You trying to kill me is a lie, right, Nataku?
Goku?
Looks like you've learned more than you needed to.
It was probably Tenpou.
Well, that's all right.
Kill him.
Right here, right now.
You bastard!
This is all your fault!
You keep saying all these weird things to Nataku!
Nata...
Get away from my father.
My father is my master.
No matter what he says or does to me,
my father is my only reason for living.
Anyone who harms my father, no matter who they are,
will be killed!
Ken-nii!
Run, Goku!
You're going to interfere, General Kenren?
Very well. Kill him as well, Nataku!
Ken-niichan?!
Stop, Nataku! What are you doing?!
I can't let him fight Goku, no matter what!
I said stop... I don't want this anymore!
What's going on here?
You are truly my son, Nataku!
Li Touten.
Pardon me.
Ten-chan!
You're as bold as ever.
I thought there'd be no end to this otherwise.
Well, there's certainly no turning back now.
I never intended on turning back anyway.
Ken-niichan! Ten-chan!
He's on a totally different level.
So this is the power of a war god prince...
Make him stop, Li Touten!
We're in the presence of the Tentei...
What of it?
What?
I'm asking you what difference it makes.
Goku, run!
No!
Goku!
Kill him.
Kill him!
Nataku.
My name...
is Goku.
It's nice to officially meet you.
I'll show you all the good hiding places and where lots of raspberries grow.
Goku...
Someday...
What's going on?!
You idiot! Hey, medics! I need some cloth!
How could this have happened?
Goku, not over there. This way.
Huh?
Look, that tree over there...
Up top...
There's a bird's nest up there.
You can see it, right?
Hey, where is that?
Nataku...
You need to wake up and show me.
I can't see it!
Unhand him!
That's my son.
Li Touten...
Have no fear.
We can still use him.
You bastard...
You pushed Nataku this far and you still don't get it?!
He wasn't even allowed to do something as normal as playing with a friend...
And yet... And yet, the pain Nataku felt from not being able to defy you...
Goku!
Let go! Let go of me!
Stop!
What the hell are you doing?!
Restrain the traitors!
Goku! Goku!
Wh-What is this?
Despite its small size, it's a rather ferocious animal with golden eyes.
G-Goku?

It sure is hot on the down on Earth.
Where is he?
It took me a while to get ready, so I'm a bit late.

East 1
What's up?
The first platoon's uniforms are so dull.
You think so?
We should dress them up like that to add some character.
Yeah, no.
