The search for Ryo Utsugi continued, while his father, Kosuke, joined.
The number of search crew expanded to three hundred.
However...
Doctor!
How is it?
It's strange.
The snow has melted, yet you can't find a single clue.
It's as if he was spirited away.
Spirited away...
UTSUGI RESIDENCE
I see. Yes, I understand.
Dad's going to remain in the mountains till tomorrow.
After all, Brother's in the Himalayas.
Don't be silly at a time like this!
But it's true!
Come home soon. Mom's gonna be sick.
Spirited away. Can such a thing really happen?
Listen, all you children of God.
Oh! Dear God!
Demon Lord Dante has been resurrected.
Demon Lord Dante!
Prepare for the Demon Lord to come.
The Demon will bewilder the virtuous hearts of the children of God.
We must not let the devils rampage.
All you children of God, prepare for a battle with the devils.
Annihilate the devils with the iron hammer of Justice!
Oh, Almighty God, I thank you for your valuable guidance!
There's been an emergency. Please take care of the rest.
Certainly.
Doctor, what's the emergency?
It's the Demon Lord.
Demon Lord Dante has been resurrected!
What?!
It's war. The war with the devils will begin!
UTSUGI RESIDENCE
This is going too far. I can't even go out to the backyard!
I've been told not to let you out and put a lock on your door.
What's up with that?
Just do what I tell you.
You'll get married by the end of this year.
Really?
Really, really. I'm like the god of tarots.
I'm so psyched!
Finally, the Demon Lord!
Who are you?!
It's bedtime, boys.
Hey, did you see?
What are you doing in the dark?
Reporting from the State Guesthouse.
Oh, it's over.
What happened?
They said the Princess was kidnapped.
The one from Surland Kingdom.
What, that pretty princess?
It's the work of the Satanists.
They're planning on sacrificing her.
How dare you say that?!
They need a sacrifice.
They're trying to resurrect the Demon Lord.
OFFERING TO THE SHRINE
OFFERING
Z!
Z... No, God's organization's spy.
You were it?
I don't understand. Why are you betraying your best friend?
You and Dante were like brothers.
So, why you?
Two thousand years ago...
I was confined in the ice hell, too.
During the Battle of the Himalayas, you were trapped by God?
When that happened, Demon Lord Dante...
was deeply wounded from the battles with the Gods.
I thought Dante was going to lose.
I took a short cut to the Himalayas.
I planned on stabbing God and taking a fall.
Come out! Play a match with me!
You coward, God!
King of a Hundred Beasts, Zenon! The Judgment Day has come for you!
Go to hell!
Zenon! You have two choices!
One is to suffer eternally in the ice hell.
The other is to be freed from the agony and live happily.
I don't want to go to hell! Please, get me out!
Fine.
Demon Lord Dante tried to help me with his wounded body.
Then he was trapped!
Dante!
I deserted a friend.
I couldn't bear it!
I was weak!
I wanted an unyielding power like Dante that could fight God!
I'm a coward!
I'm a traitor!
Why don't you judge me guilty? I'm a traitor!
Dante withstood the pain with an unyielding soul for two thousand years.
You lived as a traitor for two thousand years.
You've been in a different pain from Dante's.
I...
Don't you want to see your old friend?
Our Demon Lord Dante has arisen!
The following Black Mass is a ceremony to summon Demon Lord Dante!
Demon Lord Dante will come here! He'll come for sure!
For that we have prepared a royal princess as a sacrifice.
Please, don't kill me. Help!
Cry! Scream!
Your cry is the best gift to Demon Lord Dante!
No!
Massacre the Satanists! Crash the Black Mass!
Run!
Everybody, come inside the magic circle! Hurry!
- I can't enter! - Let me in!
It's too late! The magic circle has been closed with psychic power!
Give up and die!
Dante, Dante...
Ardocame, Valeritof, Maresolo, Dir, Camidor...
lesa, Carnisolali...
Preolim, Violte, Creviorbus...
Camero, Bestoriel...
Fulnavi, Venez, Meus...
Carmilo, Noard...
Nisakenbler, Vocalehodium...
Prazo, Tablazol. Come!
Come out, Dante!
Dante!
Demon Lord Dante!
- Dante! - Dante!
Dante!
- Dante! - It's Dante!
- Dante! - Our Savior!
Demon Lord Dante!
Hey, there's something wrong with the Demon Lord.
Why is he not speaking to our hearts?
He's different! That's not Demon Lord Dante!
His face is different!
His face?!
The face in the middle of his forehead!
It's different from the Demon Lord! What in the world?!
But his shape and form are so alike.
I have to return...
to... my... home!
The unidentified creature who appeared in Nagoya City is causing mayhem!
It's an enormous monster with two horns and wings like a bat!
Buildings have been destroyed and have caused an inferno!
It seems that there are many casualties.
The police are helpless in this very sudden disaster.
It's Dante! Destroying buildings and killing people!
If this is not Dante, who do you say it is?
He's granting us our wishes. Isn't that right?
Certainly, it must be Demon Lord Dante.
But something happened...
to the body of Demon Lord Dante!
He has such a tremendous destructive power.
It's a monster that destroys everything in front of him.
It looks, indeed, like a devil!
A horrifying devil!
It's hideous. Beyond hideous.
It's the Demon Lord. In place of me, another sacrifice...
Can you believe this?
Where on Earth did this creature live?
I know.
The biologists are saying the same thing.
It's a mystery where it originated.
It's also a mystery how a creature like this developed itself on Earth.
Uh-huh.
Besides, how does it fly with such a huge body in the sky?
They don't think it can fly only with its wings.
On top of that, it destroys buildings with ultrasound beams from its mouth.
They say such a monster can not exist.
But it does exist! It's alive!
I remembered something while I was looking at this troubled monster.
I've seen it before.
What?!
A monster similar to that one was in a book I read when I was little.
No, it's not a biology book.
I think it was an illustration in some story.
The drawing of the devil in that book.
Then, he's a...
A monster from hell.
Coming back...
Brother's coming back.
Is it dead?!
Where... where am I?
Dante! Demon Lord Dante!
Demon Lord Dante! Can you hear me?
Answer me! Demon Lord Dante!
Demon Lord Dante?
No! I'm not Demon Lord Dante! I'm Ryo! Ryo Utsugi!
You're Ryo Utsugi?!
Someone else's consciousness entered the Demon Lord's brain.
The Demon Lord eats a human brain...
and has the ability to acquire its knowledge and memory.
Demon Lord's brain consumed thousands of human brains.
But this time...
in the case of Ryo Utsugi, it was different!
Ryo Utsugi won over the Demon Lord!
Fearful Ryo Utsugi...
Then, Mr. Utsugi, take a good look at your body!
Is that Ryo Utsugi's body?
This body?
This... this body?!
Ryo Utsugi, I am Dante! Demon Lord Dante!
What are you planning to do back in our time?
First... l'll eat you!
This body is... that demon's body!
You entered the Demon Lord's brain and conquered it.
You are no longer Ryo Utsugi!
You are Demon Lord Dante himself!
I'm Dante?
Demon Lord Dante?!
Ryo Utsugi cried!
But it was no longer Ryo's cry.
It was an enormous roar...
of a large demon beast, Demon Lord Dante!
Devil, Human, Devil.
A tune of darkness is played in a vortex of conflicts.
A two-thousand-year-old misfortune paints a picture of hell.
Next time on Demon Lord Dante; "Fate."
They called him the Messiah.
