[The video starts in a burning village on an isolated mountain. Dozens upon dozens of bodies litter the streets, recently slaughtered, as all the houses blaze with fire. Amidst the massacre, one spark of life remains; a baby wails, still clutched in the arms of its parents' corpses. A woman surrounded by a group of people in masks steps through the carnage calmly, picking up the baby with a beatific smile.

Far above this, a now current age Judar watches this happen with an unusually resigned expression on his face. A young boy floats next to him, his face open and kind. He offers words of understanding, of pity, of forgiveness and redemption. You were kidnapped at birth. You're an unlucky person. What they raised you to become isn't your fault. Everyone will understand. You can start anew. With each statement, Judar's expression grows more and more upset, clearly caught in a major internal struggle until the boy delivers his coup de grace.

'That's why...you should come to our side and become our friend! Cut ties and create a proper kingdom. Isn't that your true wish?'

Judar shakes his head. 'You're wrong--' Then he flinches hard as a bloody gash abruptly opens up on his stomach, falling silent. When he speaks again, his voice is quiet and accepting. 'No...it's just as you say, Aladdin.'

The boy beams, holding his hand out -- and lets out a shocked gasp as Judar lunges, impaling him through the middle with his staff in one smooth thrust. He smiles up at the boy, his face eerily calm and empty.

'The thing is, I get it. I gotta cut ties to Al-Tharmen and take your side. But y'know...no matter how hard I try to calm myself, something inside me is screaming it won't forgive them.' Judar's face finally twists into an expression of pure hatred and rage. 'I can't move on! I can't forgive them! Hah, why should I forgive them at all?!'

The video cuts off here, with Alice announcing Judar is obsessed with vengeance and rejected his chance at starting fresh.

But honestly, none of this dumb backstory matters, because the only important thing that happens here is that wherever he is, he immediately goes bright fucking red when he hears himself admitting that he really wanted to be friends with the shounen heroes all along.]
