Special Episode 8

Special Episode 8 is the eighth Special Episode of the Ousama Ranking: Treasure Chest of Courage Special series.

Kage's Yearning
A brief backstory about the Shadow clan is given and then shifts over to a young Kage, who was chased by a trio of kids. A flashback depicting Kage's Mother explaining to her son the hatred humans have of them due to their clan history. Back in the present, Kage loses the kids and, by nightfall, returns to his home, where his mother made their bed.

The following day, Kage and his mother witness a bullfighting attraction, but soon leave after Kage becomes too scared to watch any further. After purchasing a couple of things from a vendor, they almost run into the children that chased Kage the day before and stop at a weapons shop, where Kage's Mother runs inside.

While waiting for his mother, Kage makes a small sandcastle to entertain himself, attracting a butterfly, and chases after it. Elsewhere, the greatest knight in the Bo Kingdom, Kyo, rides his horse down the town streets. Unintentionally, Kage runs past Kyo while still chasing after the butterfly. The children from before then spot Kage and chase after him, and from there, one of the bulls from the bullfighting attraction runs loose through the streets, wreaking havoc wherever it passes.

Thinking quickly, Kage helps one of the kids escape as the runaway bull close in on him, but is saved in the nick of time by Kyo, who tackles the bull to submission. When asked for his name by Kage, Ryo declines to give, but praises him for his heroic deed and rides off. The child Kage saved then reluctantly gives him his toy sword, and Kage's Mother then approaches her son, who claims, he'd like to become a knight one day. The declaration tears Kage's Mother's eyes, and that night carves a toy horse for him.

A Great Mother
A brief backstory of how Bosse made a deal with a Demon to gain ultimate power is shown, and then how he met his future wife Sheena. Bosse asks that Sheena become his wife, but Sheena is hesitant as she only respects power and, to prove himself, asks that he defeat her, which he does off-screen.

Eventually, the two stand by a river, and with Sheena's assistance, Bosse collects some fish for Sheena. Later that night, they roasted the fish they caught and had a heart-to-heart about strength.

Time passes, and their son Bojji is born. Despite his tiny size for having Giants as parents, Sheena still loves Bojji as he is.

More time passes, and the development of the Bosse Kingdom has begun. Bosse insisted on doing most of the work, but was still helped by its newest residents. That afternoon, while holding onto Bojji, Sheena stops a thief from stealing a loaf of bread. However, after learning the thief's motive behind it, Sheena decides to hire her.

Then, the kingdom comes under attack, and Bosses equipped with his weapons and armor face off against them. After Bosse defeats the invaders, he's greeted by Sheena and Bojji upon his return to the kingdom.

When the Bosse Kingdom is finally finished being developed, the Ranking Organization rep visits Bosse, who suggests that he aim for the top. Outside, Sheena talks with the former bread thief who has since become a maid for the castle. Bosse then joins Sheena and reveals that he rejected the Ranking Rep's offer, claiming he has all he wants now and will do everything he can to provide Bojji with everything he'd ever need.
