Run, run more, beyond the wind

Since the day you were born in this endless land,

So leo, fire up your heart now
The real you that you are searching for
Go until the day you meet it
Episode 1: The Birth
4000 years ago, in the time of the great ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Pepi the first.
On the day once a year when the sun and Sirius rise simultaneously,
the morning of the Festival of Caligula,
a priest found a white lion cub frolicking, seeming to be embraced by the Spinx.
Pepi the first declared the white lion cub to be a messenger of God.
It was brought to the shrine inside the palace, and worshipped as the White Lion God.
However, the slaves under Pepi the first
stole the cub to make it their own Guardian God, and escaped upstream on the Nile.
Pepi the first dispatched men after them immediately,
but the jungle upstream were deep, and they could not find them.
Then Pepi the first declared the jungle in the area to be holy lands
and named it Abiorion, forbidding anyone from stepping inside the lands.
It is said that since then, the white lion continues to live there
as the protector of the jungle generation after generation.
This 4000 year old veil was about to be torn now.
Don't panic!
Look, he's got high-quality tusks. There's no way I'm gonna lose him!
White visitor, it seems the hunt was a great success.
No, it was a sucess but I wouldn't call it a great success.
Why?
My goal is to shoot and kill the legendary white lion and take his raw hide.
You shouldn't do that. That lion's the guardian god of the jungle.
No, he's the white devil.
If you try to catch him, you'll be cursed!
A curse? Did you hear that, Kutter?
Hey Kutter, stop eating already!
Don't nag me so, Hamegg.
If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be able to carry out even one tusk of ivory.
He's like a hyena.
What is that?
T-That's a...!
What the?
Damn, the precious hunt!
There he is!
Wait! He's got a child!
He was just about to be eaten!
Dammit. I'll get him next time!
The white lion's smarter than man.
A devil has taken over his body. There's no way he'll be caught.
That other voice...
That's the female lion that the white lion keeps with him answering his call.
It said he likes her very much.
S-Sir, that's the claw mark of the white lion... Let's not go in any further!
Don't be scared!
Kutter, are you ready?
Y-Yeah.
He's there!
We did it! Take it to the village quick!
Is the white lion really going to come?
He'll come.
I've been chasing him for ten years.
He won't leave behind his fellow animals to die.
Oh, heaven forbid... If you lose your life, you can't make money...
You totally fell for it!
Panja
E...liza...
Panja, hold on! I'm with your child!
Please name my child Leo.
Leo
It means "courageous one." Please.
Panja!
Sige, Itago mo na iyan.
E ito?
Gusto ko iyan, kuya.
Mabuti.
O sige, hanggang sa muling pagki-kita natin.
Mag-ingat ka!
Ligtas na paglalakbay!
Kutter.
Kutter!
Totoo?!
Aking anak, ang pangalan mo ay Leo.
Leo?
Gubat?
Africa?
Hindi...hindi!
Ayoko!
Leo, making ka sa akin ng mabuti.
Leo!
Hindi! Gusto kong sumama sa iyo!
Inay!
Leo!
Ngayon na! Bilis!
Halika na. Maging matapang ka, Leo!
Wow, ang laki!
Ano iyan, isang tuta?
Isa itong sanggol na puting leon!
Ano ito--
Kapag nahulog siya sa dagat, tapos na ang lahat!
Nakakainis! Nawala lahat ang ating nakuha!
Mahal, ***-usap, ipagtanggol mo si Leo...
Inay!
Naku, ang ganda!
Okay, pipilitin ko nang mabuti!
Anong klaseng mga lugar sa gubat ang kinu-kwento nang nanay ko?
Ano ang aking gagawin doon?
Tutulungan kitang maka-takas sa kulungan na ito, dalhin mo lang ako sa gubat.
Ang mga bagong pakikipagsapalaran ni Kimba, ang puting leon * Ikalawang Episodyo
Pangako, huwag kang mag-mintis!
Masaya ako at nagka-kilala tayo
Dito sa malaking mundo
Ang isang araw na kasama kita
ay ginagawang maliwanag ang kinabukasan
Dahil bumababa na ang kulay kahel na araw ngayon
Ang ating anino, ay nagiging liwanag sa pagbaba nang buwan
Nakaka-silaw
ang maging liwanag sa paglubog nang araw.
