00:25Think about the courage required.
00:27Standing unarmed surrounded by ten thousand demon warriors.
00:31When peace was refused, Angada stepped into the throne room's center.

00:40Imagine the court's arrogance turning to panic over a single footstep.
00:45First came giant demon guards, straining their muscles until skin tore.
00:49The foot did not move a single millimeter.
