# DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai
The world that was once afflicted by Hadlar, the Dark Lord, has regained peace in the hands of a swordsman called the "hero" and his companions. Delmurin Island became a place where monsters released from the Dark Lord lived. Dai, who is the only human on the island and longs to be a hero, lives in peace with the monsters. However, that life completely changes with the resurrection of the Dark Lord Hadlar. With promises from teachers, encounters with friends, and a destiny that cannot be escaped... In order to save the world, the adventure of Dai and his quest to be a hero begins!

**[00:22] ---**
Come on, Hadlar!
**[00:26] ---**
This is the end!
**[00:38] ---**
The Hero defeated the Dark Lord.
**[00:42] ---**
There's no telling
what humans are capable of.
**[00:55] ---**
Just who do you think you are?!
**[00:59] ---**
Begone! Begone, humans!
**[03:12] ---**
DAI, THE TINY HERO
**[03:42] ---**
Dai, the Hero is here!
Yippee! Go, go!
**[03:46] ---**
Defend the island's peace!
**[03:49] ---**
You imbecile!
**[03:53] ---**
Ouch.
**[03:54] ---**
What was that for, Grampa Brass?
**[03:57] ---**
If you have time to play Hero,
then do your magic training!
**[04:02] ---**
Aww...
**[04:03] ---**
How many years has it been
since I found you?
**[04:06] ---**
What kind of Hero
can't even learn a single spell?!
**[04:15] ---**
It's so annoying, Gomechan.
**[04:18] ---**
Grampa Brass is the one
who told me about the Hero.
**[04:24] ---**
There once was a swordman of justice,
called the Hero,
**[04:28] ---**
who fought the Dark Lord,
a tormentor of people.
**[04:31] ---**
*The Hero, together with his companions,
defeated the Dark Lord at last!*
**[04:37] ---**
*But...*
**[04:38] ---**
We monsters, who were
under the thrall of the Dark Lord,
**[04:41] ---**
were freed from his evil will
and came to live here on Dermline Island.
**[04:48] ---**
It's all thanks to the Hero.
**[04:50] ---**
The Hero sounds amazing!
**[04:52] ---**
Dai, you're to become a brilliant Mage,
so that you can help the Hero someday!
**[05:00] ---**
Grampa just says that
because he's a Mage...
**[05:05] ---**
but I wanna be a Hero.
It sounds the coolest.
**[05:12] ---**
You agree don't you, Gomechan?
**[05:17] ---**
I knew you'd get me, Gomechan!
**[05:22] ---**
Huh?
**[05:23] ---**
It's a ship.
**[05:27] ---**
Huh?
**[05:29] ---**
Whoa!
**[05:30] ---**
It's a Hero!
**[05:33] ---**
Why's a Hero coming to this island?!
**[05:35] ---**
I can't just sit here!
**[05:43] ---**
Wait here, Gomechan!
**[05:45] ---**
Hup!
**[05:49] ---**
Merman, take me to that boat!
**[05:54] ---**
I might just meet a real Hero!
**[05:58] ---**
For an island supposedly
infested by monsters, it seems peaceful.
**[06:02] ---**
Ever since the Dark Lord died,
they've all gone docile.
**[06:06] ---**
All we do is knock them around
and people worship us as Heroes.
**[06:10] ---**
Talk about an easy business.
**[06:13] ---**
Indeed. I can't wait to cut loose again.
**[06:18] ---**
Don't just slaughter them. It's not
an extermination mission this time.
**[06:23] ---**
The one-of-a-kind mythical creature,
the Golden Metal Slime.
**[06:28] ---**
Does it really exist?
**[06:30] ---**
What's that?!
**[06:32] ---**
A Merman!
**[06:33] ---**
There's a child riding it!
**[06:40] ---**
Wow! It's really you!
**[06:51] ---**
You're a Hero, aren't you?
**[06:56] ---**
That's right.
The Hero and his noble companions.
**[06:59] ---**
Oh wow!
**[07:01] ---**
Little boy, who are you?
**[07:03] ---**
I'm Dai!
**[07:05] ---**
You're from that island?
**[07:06] ---**
Yep!
**[07:07] ---**
But isn't that island full of monsters?
**[07:10] ---**
It's fine. They're all my friends!
**[07:13] ---**
Oh really?
**[07:15] ---**
They're your friends?
**[07:22] ---**
You want me to call everyone?
**[07:24] ---**
That's right.
**[07:25] ---**
We go around protecting innocent monsters
so they aren't bullied by humans.
**[07:31] ---**
So we want to know
the monsters' situation on this island.
**[07:36] ---**
Do it for us, Dai.
**[07:38] ---**
Got it!
**[07:45] ---**
The assembly whistle? What's going on?
**[08:08] ---**
Little boy, is this all of them?
**[08:10] ---**
Yep. Almost.
**[08:12] ---**
Look, isn't there one like this,
but more pretty?
**[08:16] ---**
Hmm...
**[08:17] ---**
Oh! You mean Gomechan!
**[08:20] ---**
Gomechan?
**[08:21] ---**
It's a nickname! The entire name is
Golden whatchamacallit,
**[08:26] ---**
but that's too difficult.
**[08:28] ---**
That's it!
**[08:29] ---**
Huh?
**[08:30] ---**
We'd really love to meet Gomechan!
**[08:33] ---**
He's a little shy, so I'll go get him!
**[08:40] ---**
What's wrong, everyone? What is it?
**[08:42] ---**
Oh, there's a surviving Lump Shaman.
**[08:47] ---**
Who are you?!
**[08:49] ---**
Deroline the Hero and his companions.
**[08:52] ---**
A Hero?!
**[08:55] ---**
No, I sense something malicious about you.
**[08:58] ---**
Why did you come here?!
**[09:00] ---**
What an obnoxious geezer.
**[09:06] ---**
Why are you struggling?! It's a Hero!
**[09:10] ---**
What's that?!
**[09:20] ---**
Crack!
**[09:26] ---**
S...
**[09:31] ---**
Stop it!
**[09:35] ---**
Dai, run!
**[09:37] ---**
Grampa!
**[09:42] ---**
Thank you, little boy.
**[09:47] ---**
Here's a reward for you.
**[09:50] ---**
Woosh!
**[09:54] ---**
Dai!
**[09:59] ---**
Let's clean up and get out of here!
**[10:02] ---**
Everyone get down!
**[10:03] ---**
Boom!
**[10:15] ---**
Those scoundrels!
**[10:17] ---**
That went well.
**[10:20] ---**
We'll have whatever we want now.
**[10:22] ---**
I can't stop laughing!
**[10:27] ---**
Why would a Hero do this?!
**[10:30] ---**
Why would a Hero kidnap Gomechan?!
**[10:34] ---**
That Hero was a fake!
No Hero would do something like that!
**[10:39] ---**
Grampa!
**[10:41] ---**
I'm going to go save Gomechan!
**[10:43] ---**
If you want to fight them, use these.
**[10:47] ---**
What are these?
**[10:49] ---**
Magic Cylinders.
**[10:51] ---**
But I can't use magic.
**[10:54] ---**
Don't worry. Each Cylinder
can trap one living creature within.
**[10:59] ---**
Just say "Gulp," and they'll suck in
whoever you point a Cylinder at.
**[11:03] ---**
Say "Gush" to release the contents.
**[11:06] ---**
Hmm.
**[11:08] ---**
Come up with a plan
and attack with your friends. Also...
**[11:12] ---**
these Gold Cylinders were given to me
by the Dark Lord long ago.
**[11:18] ---**
I was too scared
to find out what they contain.
**[11:20] ---**
-Gulp?
-Just in case...
**[11:24] ---**
Gush!
**[11:26] ---**
-Imbecile! Why...
-Gulp!
**[11:29] ---**
Gush!
**[11:31] ---**
-...are you...
-Gulp!
**[11:33] ---**
Oh wow!
**[11:35] ---**
Okay! That's Grampa for starters!
**[11:38] ---**
And now...
**[11:39] ---**
Everyone who can still fight, come on!
**[11:53] ---**
Okay!
**[11:58] ---**
GUSH/GULP
**[12:03] ---**
FRIZZ
FIRE-TYPE SPELL
**[12:06] ---**
Deroline, the Hero. Raise your head.
**[12:09] ---**
Your Majesty.
**[12:11] ---**
So, how was Dermline Island?
**[12:14] ---**
Was it a dark hive of monsters
as rumors say?
**[12:18] ---**
Yes. Evil remnant monsters assaulted us
in an endless stream,
**[12:24] ---**
but, together with my companions,
we vanquished them.
**[12:28] ---**
-Wow!
-Amazing!
**[12:30] ---**
A true Hero!
**[12:31] ---**
During this, we captured a rare monster
of which only one exists.
**[12:38] ---**
We offer it to you, King Romos.
**[12:42] ---**
A monster for me?
**[12:47] ---**
Th-This is...!
**[12:48] ---**
Called the mythical creature,
it is the Golden Metal Slime.
**[12:53] ---**
Truly a living jewel.
**[12:56] ---**
How magnificent!
**[12:58] ---**
Well done, Deroline!
You may have the reward you requested!
**[13:03] ---**
The Romos family symbol of a Hero,
the Crown of Champions!
**[13:08] ---**
You are truly a Hero worthy of this!
**[13:15] ---**
-What's that?
-It can't be!
**[13:23] ---**
Give back Gomechan!
**[13:29] ---**
Gomechan?
**[13:30] ---**
That Golden whatchamacallit!
**[13:33] ---**
Get back, King Romos.
**[13:35] ---**
He may look innocent,
but he's with those vicious monsters.
**[13:40] ---**
My friends aren't vicious!
**[13:42] ---**
But they can be against people like you!
**[13:47] ---**
Let's do this, everyone!
**[13:49] ---**
Gush!
**[13:57] ---**
Gush!
**[13:59] ---**
Gush!
**[14:02] ---**
Gush!
**[14:03] ---**
...sucking me in?!
**[14:06] ---**
You don't take a hint! You'll regret this!
**[14:13] ---**
Everyone, hang on!
**[14:23] ---**
How do you like that?!
Attacks from air, land, and sea!
**[14:28] ---**
We'll get you!
**[14:38] ---**
Frizz!
**[14:43] ---**
Stay away!
**[15:01] ---**
Masopho, let's put them on ice.
**[15:05] ---**
-Woosh!
-Crack!
**[15:13] ---**
Now! Let's get those monsters!
**[15:15] ---**
Right!
**[15:17] ---**
Frizz!
**[15:21] ---**
Frizz!
**[15:24] ---**
Crack!
**[15:35] ---**
Boom!
**[15:38] ---**
Stupid monsters!
**[15:40] ---**
Why you...!
**[15:41] ---**
Don't underestimate a Hero!
**[15:43] ---**
You're no Hero!
You're a crook who kidnapped my friend!
**[15:49] ---**
Hmm?
**[15:50] ---**
Shut up!
**[15:55] ---**
Dai!
**[15:57] ---**
I'm your opponent here.
**[16:01] ---**
I'll silence you for good!
**[16:10] ---**
The Golden Cylinders!
**[16:12] ---**
Use the Golden Cylinders, Dai!
**[16:14] ---**
Okay!
**[16:17] ---**
Gush!
**[16:22] ---**
Not one, but several?
**[16:24] ---**
You startled me! They're just Slimes!
**[16:29] ---**
Gush!
**[16:40] ---**
A d-d-d-...
**[16:41] ---**
A Dragon?!
**[16:49] ---**
Woosh!
**[16:52] ---**
Good going, Dragon! Get that fake Hero!
**[17:07] ---**
That's enough!
**[17:08] ---**
All right, little boy.
Get that Dragon to back off.
**[17:12] ---**
Gomechan!
**[17:13] ---**
Otherwise...
**[17:18] ---**
Don't!
**[17:19] ---**
Gulp!
**[17:26] ---**
Nice going, Zulbon!
**[17:28] ---**
Darn it!
**[17:30] ---**
It looks like we win.
**[17:42] ---**
These were all...
**[17:47] ---**
A King Slime?!
**[17:49] ---**
Zulbon!
**[17:53] ---**
So a King Slime came out in pieces!
**[17:57] ---**
Stay away!
**[18:00] ---**
Now!
**[18:02] ---**
Gulp!
**[18:14] ---**
You did it, Dai!
**[18:18] ---**
Gomechan!
**[18:20] ---**
Damn monsters!
**[18:21] ---**
How dare you!
**[18:23] ---**
Stop!
**[18:25] ---**
They said they
were a Hero and his companions,
**[18:28] ---**
but no Hero would try to kill a child
or take hostages!
**[18:34] ---**
The King of Romos?
**[18:37] ---**
Get back!
**[18:38] ---**
Enough. Let us hear out this monster.
**[18:41] ---**
Well...
**[18:46] ---**
It seems as though my eyes were clouded.
**[18:50] ---**
How could I let them go to Dermline Island
without realizing they were fakes?
**[18:55] ---**
Dai's acts of violence were out of
his wish to save his friend. Have mercy.
**[19:01] ---**
Sir Brass, it is I who should
beg for forgiveness.
**[19:05] ---**
Bring it forward.
**[19:13] ---**
Perhaps this brave child is the one truly
worthy of wearing this Crown of Champions.
**[19:22] ---**
I bestow this to the future Hero.
**[19:29] ---**
The future Hero...
**[19:36] ---**
Now, let us continue on our way
to the Papnica Kingdom.
**[19:42] ---**
Please! Don't leave us!
**[19:45] ---**
Wait!
**[19:48] ---**
Where's my Crown of Champions?!
**[19:51] ---**
Hmm? Don't ask me.
**[19:54] ---**
That's my treasure!
Where did you hide it?!
**[19:58] ---**
I don't know!
**[20:00] ---**
Besides, you have no use for
something for a Hero!
**[20:04] ---**
I'm the future Hero!
**[20:06] ---**
Your future is as a Mage!
**[20:09] ---**
And nothing else!
**[20:13] ---**
Oh come on, Grampa!
**[20:19] ---**
THREE MONTHS LATER
**[20:22] ---**
Frizz!
**[20:29] ---**
Pathetic!
**[20:30] ---**
Ow!
**[20:33] ---**
Grampa, I wanna do Hero training!
**[20:37] ---**
You don't need such training!
Let's continue!
**[20:40] ---**
Aww...
**[20:41] ---**
Huh? It's a ship.
**[20:43] ---**
Hm?
**[20:46] ---**
Oh! It's a battleship!
A battleship is invading!
**[20:48] ---**
What?!
**[20:51] ---**
Isn't that a battleship?
**[20:54] ---**
That's the Sacred Ship. A special ship
that only a Sage is allowed to use.
**[21:00] ---**
Huh.
**[21:08] ---**
Is that a Sage?
**[21:11] ---**
Get your head down!
**[21:13] ---**
Ow!
**[21:17] ---**
You are Dai, the Future Hero
and Brass, the Venerable?
**[21:22] ---**
The Future Hero?!
**[21:23] ---**
B-Brass, the Venerable?
**[21:25] ---**
I am Bishop Temjin of Papnica Kingdom,
and this is Varon, the Sage.
**[21:30] ---**
We have come to this island with
Princess Leona of Papnica on a mission.
**[21:35] ---**
The Princess?!
**[21:36] ---**
Oh!
**[21:47] ---**
Are you Dai, the Hero?
**[21:50] ---**
Yep!
**[21:51] ---**
Oh wow, you're so tiny!
Talk about undependable!
**[23:33] ---**
*Princess Leona of Papnica Kingdom
arrives at Dermline Island.*
**[23:38] ---**
*Dai guides her across the island,
but mysterious monsters attack.*

Dai is enveloped in a mysterious light!*

DAI AND PRINCESS LEONA
**[01:53] ---**
Are you Dai, the Hero?
**[01:54] ---**
Yep!
**[01:55] ---**
Oh wow, you're so tiny!
Talk about undependable!
**[02:02] ---**
The royal family of our Papnica Kingdom
has long served the gods.
**[02:07] ---**
The latest successor, Princess Leona,
during the month of her 14th birthday,
**[02:13] ---**
must partake in a ritual to receive
the blessing of the Earth God.
**[02:18] ---**
This island has
a cave into the earth, yes?
**[02:20] ---**
Indeed. There is a gigantic cave here.
**[02:24] ---**
That is the Ritual Land we seek.
**[02:27] ---**
But, as this island has long been feared
as an island of monsters,
**[02:32] ---**
no one knows where it is.
**[02:34] ---**
It's been 50 years since a member of
the royal family has undergone the ritual.
**[02:39] ---**
It just so happened,
when King Romos visited Papnica,
**[02:42] ---**
he spoke of Dai the Future Hero
and Brass the Venerable.
**[02:47] ---**
I see. So you would like Dai
to take you to the Earth Cave.
**[02:52] ---**
Huh?!
**[02:53] ---**
The monsters of Dermline Island
will obey Dai, will they not?
**[02:58] ---**
The Earth Cave is a dangerous place.
**[03:02] ---**
To take the Princess there...
**[03:05] ---**
Princess Leona will one day become a Sage.
**[03:08] ---**
With the magic I have taught her,
there will be no danger.
**[03:13] ---**
Hmm.
**[03:14] ---**
Grampa, I don't wanna. She seems rude.
**[03:19] ---**
Watch your mouth!
**[03:20] ---**
Ow!
**[03:22] ---**
If he will be useful,
I will gladly lend him to you.
**[03:26] ---**
Go on!
**[03:29] ---**
Is this really safe?
Are you sure you won't get lost?
**[03:36] ---**
This island is my backyard!
I can walk around it blindfolded!
**[03:40] ---**
Oh!
**[03:41] ---**
How brave!
**[03:43] ---**
Hmph!
**[03:48] ---**
Let's go. It's that way.
**[03:54] ---**
Take good care of the Princess.
**[03:56] ---**
I understand.
**[04:06] ---**
What's wrong?
**[04:11] ---**
Oh. It's you.
**[04:13] ---**
Hey, don't sleep here. Get out of the way.
**[04:22] ---**
Bye!
**[04:23] ---**
Wow! Amazing!
I'm actually impressed, little boy.
**[04:28] ---**
It's Dai.
**[04:29] ---**
Is there anything else you can do?
**[04:32] ---**
Like magic?
**[04:35] ---**
I can't do magic.
**[04:37] ---**
Huh? Seriously?! Not a single spell?!
**[04:41] ---**
Princess...
**[04:43] ---**
I'm sure Sir Dai just hasn't
undergone a Ritual of Magic yet.
**[04:47] ---**
I did the rituals.
**[04:51] ---**
Grampa wants me to be a Mage, so we did
Rituals of Magic for lots of spells.
**[04:58] ---**
Huh. So you've already bound with spells.
**[05:01] ---**
But I still can't use a single spell.
**[05:05] ---**
I don't have the talent.
**[05:11] ---**
So this is the Earth Cave.
**[05:12] ---**
It's impressive.
**[05:14] ---**
Prepare for the ritual!
**[05:16] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[05:16] ---**
I'm going to have a look around.
**[05:28] ---**
What?!
**[05:28] ---**
You can have this.
**[05:31] ---**
It's a distinguished knife
of the Papnica royal family.
**[05:35] ---**
But Temjin gets mad
when I carry it around.
**[05:43] ---**
This is amazing!
**[05:49] ---**
If you can't use magic,
you might as well have a decent weapon.
**[05:54] ---**
Don't be so gloomy
and work on your sword skills!
**[06:00] ---**
You really don't hold anything back,
do you?
**[06:03] ---**
Of course.
It's better for everyone that way.
**[06:07] ---**
Plus it makes me feel better.
**[06:12] ---**
You didn't try to spare
my feelings either.
**[06:15] ---**
Huh? That was...
**[06:17] ---**
I guess so.
**[06:22] ---**
Gush!
**[06:32] ---**
An Evil Scorpion?!
**[06:33] ---**
Isn't that your friend?! Get it to leave!
**[06:36] ---**
No! That's not a creature
from this island!
**[06:40] ---**
Everyone run!
**[06:41] ---**
Protect the Princess!
**[06:45] ---**
It's like a rock!
**[06:53] ---**
Hold on!
**[06:56] ---**
Look out!
**[06:58] ---**
Sizz!
**[07:04] ---**
Magic doesn't work?!
**[07:11] ---**
Princess Leona!
**[07:23] ---**
This knife is amazing!
**[07:38] ---**
Your weak point is...
**[07:43] ---**
right there!
**[08:00] ---**
Princess Leona!
**[08:07] ---**
It's the Evil Scorpion's poison!
**[08:08] ---**
Grampa said even
an Antidotal Herb can't cure it!
**[08:13] ---**
Gomechan! Hurry and call Grampa Brass!
**[08:17] ---**
Grampa can use
the cure poison spell, Squelch!
**[08:29] ---**
Hang in there Princess Leona!
**[08:32] ---**
She's gonna die at this rate!
**[08:34] ---**
Darn it! I should've worked on
learning magic harder!
**[08:40] ---**
Varon!
**[08:42] ---**
Thank goodness!
Cast Squelch on the Princess!
**[08:46] ---**
A Magic Cylinder!
**[08:48] ---**
Princess Leona...
**[08:51] ---**
dies here!
**[08:53] ---**
Bang!
**[09:01] ---**
And never come out!
**[09:05] ---**
Dai washed ashore here as a baby.
**[09:10] ---**
Since then, he's grown up among us.
So everyone is his friend...
**[09:18] ---**
What?!
**[09:23] ---**
Princess Leona has been poisoned
by an Evil Scorpion! We must go save her!
**[09:31] ---**
How could an Evil Scorpion show up here?
**[09:35] ---**
I need to hurry and cast Squelch on her!
**[09:38] ---**
What's the meaning of this?!
**[09:39] ---**
If you save the Princess,
all of my plans will have been for naught.
**[09:45] ---**
What?!
**[09:47] ---**
If Princess Leona dies,
**[09:49] ---**
without a successor,
Papnica Kingdom will be mine to rule!
**[09:55] ---**
That's why I went ahead with this ritual!
**[10:00] ---**
So I could say she was killed
by the monsters of Dermline Island!
**[10:07] ---**
You were all in on this?!
**[10:11] ---**
Only these seven of my trusted servants
and Varon know about this.
**[10:18] ---**
Frizz!
**[10:19] ---**
Frizz!
**[10:21] ---**
Gome, summon everyone!
Let's drive them off of this island!
**[10:36] ---**
What's that?
**[10:49] ---**
Darn it! Another dead end!
**[10:58] ---**
You're a servant of the gods, yet
you would kill your master out of greed?!
**[11:04] ---**
Unforgivable!
**[11:13] ---**
Gush.
**[11:23] ---**
Ah! The Killing Machine!
**[11:25] ---**
Impossible! The Dark Lord created
the Killing Machine to kill the Hero!
**[11:32] ---**
How can it move with the Dark Lord dead?!
**[11:35] ---**
*Here's your answer, old man!*
**[11:41] ---**
Varon's magic power is driving it?!
**[11:44] ---**
That's right.
**[11:45] ---**
I modified this abomination after it was
nothing more than junk from the last war.
**[11:51] ---**
So that it could be controlled
by a human's will!
**[11:56] ---**
How could you?!
**[11:58] ---**
You're now the ultimate creature!
Wipe them out, Varon!
**[12:22] ---**
Everyone get back!
**[12:24] ---**
Frizzle!
**[12:28] ---**
Did it work?!
**[12:33] ---**
*Old fool!*
**[12:37] ---**
This Killing Machine was created
to exterminate the Hero!
**[12:42] ---**
Your pitiful magic can't harm it!
**[12:56] ---**
GUSH/GULP
**[13:01] ---**
BOOM
EXPLOSION-TYPE SPELL
**[13:05] ---**
Dai...
**[13:08] ---**
Princess Leona!
**[13:13] ---**
Where are we?
**[13:15] ---**
We're underground.
We fell in the gigantic cave.
**[13:20] ---**
In the cave?
**[13:21] ---**
If I had more strength...
**[13:24] ---**
If I could use magic, I could heal you.
**[13:28] ---**
I could even get us out of here.
**[13:31] ---**
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
**[13:33] ---**
Did you know?
**[13:35] ---**
Most people can't even bind with magic.
**[13:41] ---**
Princess Leona...
**[13:42] ---**
You've bound
with almost every spell, right?
**[13:49] ---**
That's proof you have talent.
**[13:51] ---**
But I...
**[13:54] ---**
I know you'll learn to use magic someday.
**[14:00] ---**
Leona!
**[14:02] ---**
If you keep whining,
I won't like you anymore.
**[14:08] ---**
Leona! Don't die! Leona!
**[14:16] ---**
You won't die.
**[14:18] ---**
I swear you'll live!
**[14:20] ---**
I won't let you die!
**[14:41] ---**
What was that shockwave?!
**[14:52] ---**
There you are, old man!
**[14:58] ---**
This is goodbye!
**[14:59] ---**
Stop!
**[15:01] ---**
Grampa!
**[15:03] ---**
Dai?!
**[15:07] ---**
Varon, the Princess still lives!
**[15:09] ---**
That little brat!
**[15:12] ---**
What is that?!
**[15:14] ---**
*Die!*
**[15:20] ---**
Dai, run! They were planning
to kill Princess Leona!
**[15:26] ---**
I can't Grampa!
**[15:27] ---**
The poison has already
spread through her body!
**[15:31] ---**
She needs a Squelch spell or she'll die!
**[15:34] ---**
What?!
**[15:35] ---**
Varon, hurry and kill that old man!
**[15:39] ---**
That way no one will be able
to save the Princess!
**[15:46] ---**
Grampa!
**[15:48] ---**
The Princess is sure to die now!
**[16:01] ---**
Kaswoosh!
**[16:11] ---**
D-Dai used magic?!
**[16:14] ---**
Grampa, are you okay?!
**[16:16] ---**
Y-Yes!
**[16:24] ---**
You startled me!
**[16:26] ---**
Even Kaswoosh doesn't work?!
**[16:28] ---**
*I'm going to kill...*
**[16:32] ---**
all of you!
**[16:34] ---**
Stop!
**[16:35] ---**
I won't let you rampage
on this island any more!
**[16:38] ---**
Don't make me laugh, boy!
**[17:05] ---**
Little fool! Your efforts are futile!
**[17:09] ---**
*Magic doesn't work! And you
lack the strength to win with a sword!*
**[17:14] ---**
There's no way for you to beat me!
**[17:34] ---**
Dai!
**[17:37] ---**
It's over.
**[17:41] ---**
Die!
**[17:53] ---**
Impossible! He pierced
the Killing Machine's armour?!
**[17:59] ---**
*He's been targeting the same spot?!*
**[18:05] ---**
What is that?!
**[18:16] ---**
Curse you!
**[18:26] ---**
Sizzle!
**[18:42] ---**
Why?! The Killing Machine
is immune to magic!
**[18:47] ---**
There was a crack
in the Killing Machine's armour.
**[18:51] ---**
The flames of the Sizzle spell
leaked in and hit Varon.
**[19:00] ---**
Grampa!
**[19:01] ---**
Help Leona!
**[19:02] ---**
R-Right!
**[19:05] ---**
Bishop Temjin!
**[19:06] ---**
What is going on?!
**[19:10] ---**
Tell them the truth!
**[19:12] ---**
You brat...
**[19:15] ---**
Everyone! This boy took the Princess...
**[19:17] ---**
What about me, Temjin?
**[19:24] ---**
Are you alright, Princess?!
**[19:29] ---**
If you have something to say, say it.
**[19:32] ---**
It'll make you feel better.
**[19:35] ---**
Let a judge at Papnica hear it, too.
**[19:45] ---**
Earth God,
**[19:46] ---**
I, Leona, priestess
and successor of Papnica Kingdom
**[19:51] ---**
come before you to be purified.
**[19:53] ---**
So Leona really is a Princess.
**[19:56] ---**
Be quiet!
**[19:59] ---**
I pledge myself to the Earth God.
**[20:13] ---**
Thank you, Dai. You saved my life.
**[20:16] ---**
I'm glad you're okay, Princess Leona.
**[20:19] ---**
Have you gained some confidence in magic?
**[20:23] ---**
I guess so.
**[20:24] ---**
When you eventually become a Hero,
come to Papnica.
**[20:28] ---**
I'll let you be my bodyguard or something.
**[20:31] ---**
Uh... No thanks!
**[20:36] ---**
Farewell, Princess!
**[20:39] ---**
It's "Leona," not "Princess!"
**[20:43] ---**
But...
**[20:43] ---**
Next time you treat me like a stranger,
I won't speak to you!
**[20:53] ---**
Goodbye, Leona!
**[20:56] ---**
See you!
**[20:58] ---**
Listen, Dai.
**[21:00] ---**
Could you do that again?
**[21:02] ---**
That?
**[21:03] ---**
That Kaswoosh and all.
**[21:05] ---**
Okay!
**[21:06] ---**
Kaswoosh!
**[21:08] ---**
Sizzle!
**[21:09] ---**
Perhaps I was seeing things.
**[21:16] ---**
Monsters are attacking!
**[21:22] ---**
What is that?!
**[21:24] ---**
Master, this is bad!
**[21:26] ---**
This is bad, Master!
**[21:28] ---**
Tons of monsters
just showed up in the city!
**[21:32] ---**
-What a pickle.
-Huh?
**[21:34] ---**
I didn't think the Dark Lord would return.
**[21:38] ---**
Wait. That's all?!
**[21:40] ---**
Shouldn't we go back
and take care of them?!
**[21:43] ---**
The soldiers can handle those monsters.
**[21:47] ---**
We must aim for the future.
**[21:50] ---**
The future?
**[21:51] ---**
Now that the Dark Lord has returned,
the people will need a Hero.
**[21:57] ---**
Let us go visit the new Hero.

THE HERO'S TUTOR
**[02:01] ---**
Dark Army, advance!
**[02:04] ---**
Charge! Charge!
**[02:22] ---**
This looks very grim. Speed it up, Popp.
**[02:26] ---**
Yes, Master.
**[02:27] ---**
Woo-hoo! Go, go!
**[02:38] ---**
What's wrong with you?!
**[02:44] ---**
Are you okay, Gomechan?
**[02:50] ---**
What's wrong with everyone?!
**[02:53] ---**
Grampa, emergency!
**[03:03] ---**
Get a grip, Grampa!
**[03:08] ---**
Dai?
**[03:09] ---**
Grampa!
**[03:12] ---**
Are you okay?
**[03:13] ---**
It feels like black blood
is coursing through my veins!
**[03:17] ---**
If I don't stay focused,
I think I'll go berserk!
**[03:22] ---**
Everyone suddenly became violent.
What's wrong with them?
**[03:30] ---**
There's only one possible reason.
**[03:33] ---**
The Dark Lord has returned!
**[03:35] ---**
What?!
**[03:36] ---**
*This urge to go berserk
can only be the Dark Lord's evil will.*
**[03:42] ---**
*He wants to gather us with his dark power
to try to overthrow the world again!*
**[03:48] ---**
No way...
**[03:49] ---**
Dai, you must leave this island!
Otherwise we might kill you!
**[03:56] ---**
Hurry!
**[03:57] ---**
But...
**[03:58] ---**
It was my good heart that let me raise you
after you drifted here on this boat.
**[04:05] ---**
At this rate, I might harm you
with my own hands.
**[04:10] ---**
Grampa...
**[04:17] ---**
Just go!
**[04:19] ---**
No!
**[04:19] ---**
Listen to me!
**[04:21] ---**
I can't run by myself!
That's not what a Hero would do!
**[04:26] ---**
Dai...
**[04:27] ---**
Precisely!
**[04:29] ---**
Well said. You must be...
**[04:32] ---**
Dai.
**[04:35] ---**
How do you know my name?
**[04:40] ---**
Why don't you leave this to me.
**[04:52] ---**
Look out!
**[04:56] ---**
Don't worry. Master's got this.
**[04:59] ---**
Master?
**[05:19] ---**
Dark influence, begone!
**[05:26] ---**
Glimmer!
**[05:47] ---**
Oh wow.
**[05:49] ---**
It's a miracle.
**[05:50] ---**
Who are you?
**[05:52] ---**
How rude of me. I...
**[05:56] ---**
I CAN TRAIN YOUR HERO!!
A 15-YEAR VETERAN OF THE TRADE
**[05:56] ---**
am a Hero trainer.
Basically a tutor for Heroes.
**[06:01] ---**
A Hero's tutor?
**[06:03] ---**
Yes. Agents of peace who uphold justice
and defeat evil! Heroes, Sages, Mages...
**[06:09] ---**
It is my job to train them
into first-class warriors!
**[06:14] ---**
It is I, Avan De Zinuar III.
**[06:19] ---**
Where have I heard that name?
**[06:21] ---**
And this is my student, Popp.
**[06:24] ---**
He is currently training to become a Mage.
**[06:28] ---**
So why is such a tutor here?
**[06:32] ---**
Perhaps you've noticed
that the Dark Lord has returned.
**[06:37] ---**
I knew it.
**[06:38] ---**
Monsters under his control are everywhere,
**[06:41] ---**
and people in places
like Romos and Papnica are in danger.
**[06:45] ---**
No! King Romos and Leona, too?!
**[06:49] ---**
The Papnica royal family
asked that I come here.
**[06:53] ---**
They want me to train the future Hero
on Dermline Island to be a true Hero.
**[06:59] ---**
Dai, will you undergo my training?
**[07:03] ---**
This is to defeat the Dark Lord,
so it will be exceptionally hard.
**[07:09] ---**
I'll do it! If Leona is in danger,
I have to go help her!
**[07:13] ---**
Plus, if we don't defeat the Dark Lord,
Grampa and the others can't live in peace!
**[07:17] ---**
Please train me! I'll become a true Hero
and defeat the Dark Lord!
**[07:24] ---**
Very good!
**[07:27] ---**
What's that?!
**[07:29] ---**
Gargoyles!
**[07:32] ---**
I see humans!
**[07:33] ---**
Kill them!
**[07:39] ---**
What the hell?!
**[07:40] ---**
Check it out!
**[07:42] ---**
A magic circle of light
has sealed off the entire island!
**[07:46] ---**
They appear to be
scouts for the Dark Lord.
**[07:49] ---**
Popp, take care of them.
**[07:51] ---**
Huh?! By myself?!
**[07:54] ---**
I used the purification spell, Glimmer,
so I am very, very tired.
**[08:00] ---**
Aww. No fair, Master.
**[08:03] ---**
Don't push!
I get it already!
**[08:06] ---**
Hey! I'll fight you!
**[08:08] ---**
You brat!
**[08:10] ---**
Don't make me laugh!
**[08:12] ---**
Kafrizz!
**[08:21] ---**
*He trained that boy to be
such a powerful magic user!*
**[08:24] ---**
*It seems this man is the real deal.*
**[08:27] ---**
You bastard!
**[08:29] ---**
I'll roast you into fried chicken next!
**[08:32] ---**
Fizzle!
**[08:36] ---**
Ka... Ka...
**[08:40] ---**
Take that, brat!
**[08:41] ---**
Oh... Oh crap!
**[08:43] ---**
How disappointing.
**[08:45] ---**
I told you that Gargoyles can use
the magic impairment spell, Fizzle.
**[08:53] ---**
What the hell?!
**[08:55] ---**
Servant of the Dark Lord...
**[08:57] ---**
get off of this island!
**[09:08] ---**
Darn it!
**[09:12] ---**
Look out!
**[09:25] ---**
You may use that.
**[09:26] ---**
It's a distinguished legendary sword.
**[09:46] ---**
It'll take more than improvised swordplay
to defeat a soldier of the Dark Army!
**[09:52] ---**
Don't get cocky!
**[10:10] ---**
I did it!
**[10:13] ---**
You did it!
**[10:14] ---**
That's really an amazing sword, Master!
**[10:18] ---**
*Hmm. It's actually a cheap sword
I bought at a used goods store.*
**[10:22] ---**
*It seems this boy may be quite the find.*
**[10:27] ---**
Master, what's my next training?!
**[10:30] ---**
Now, now. Don't get ahead of yourself, Dai
**[10:33] ---**
Popp, you're the older student,
so look after Dai.
**[10:39] ---**
Nice to meet you, Mr. Popp.
**[10:41] ---**
It's just Popp.
**[10:45] ---**
Now then, I have various training courses,
but we're short on time.
**[10:49] ---**
And so, Dai, you will be taking the
one week hero-making Special Hard Course.
**[10:57] ---**
What?! I can become a Hero in a week?!
**[11:01] ---**
There's no way you can!
Don't do it! You'll die!
**[11:04] ---**
Popp...
**[11:07] ---**
You can join, too.
**[11:09] ---**
No thank you, Master!
I'm fine with the normal training!
**[11:13] ---**
I'll do it!
**[11:16] ---**
I need to get strong and save Leona
as soon as possible!
**[11:19] ---**
Very good.
We'll begin your hard training tomorrow.
**[11:24] ---**
Huh? Not right away?
**[11:26] ---**
Sir Avan is tired from a long journey.
**[11:29] ---**
He's also expended much Magic Power
casting such a powerful spell.
**[11:33] ---**
Precisely.
Let's all get some proper rest today.
**[11:38] ---**
I understand!
**[11:41] ---**
There's no way you could
become a Hero in just a week.
**[11:48] ---**
KASWOOSH
VORTEX-TYPE SPELL
**[11:53] ---**
CRACKLE
ICE-TYPE SPELL
**[12:04] ---**
Right. The Special Hard Course.
**[12:30] ---**
Dai, slice this with a sword.
**[12:33] ---**
Huh?! This?!
**[12:35] ---**
This is the first day's objective.
**[12:43] ---**
Oh no! I broke the legendary sword!
**[12:47] ---**
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
**[12:48] ---**
Don't worry about it.
Use your knife instead.
**[12:53] ---**
Okay!
**[12:54] ---**
*This sword only cost ten gold coins,
so it's only natural.*
**[13:06] ---**
It's no good. I can't cut it.
**[13:10] ---**
I guess you're not ready yet.
**[13:11] ---**
In that case, go run a little more.
**[13:21] ---**
Now we'll begin
the normal training course!
**[13:28] ---**
Hey, are you okay?
**[13:30] ---**
First is Avan Style Basic Training!
**[13:38] ---**
Next is Avan Style Unarmed Combat!
**[13:43] ---**
Don't forget the basics of magic!
**[13:45] ---**
Popp, what sort of training is this?
**[13:48] ---**
It's meditation
to increase your Magic Power.
**[13:56] ---**
Now for magic practice.
**[14:02] ---**
Crackle!
**[14:07] ---**
The wave froze! Amazing!
**[14:11] ---**
Of course, I've been training
with Master for over a year.
**[14:23] ---**
Huh?!
**[14:24] ---**
You fail to see things through as usual.
**[14:27] ---**
Magic is about focus. Focus.
**[14:31] ---**
Yes sir.
**[14:32] ---**
Now Dai, it's your turn.
**[14:38] ---**
Crack!
**[14:44] ---**
Not much potential for magic, I see.
**[14:47] ---**
I don't have to worry
about him overtaking me.
**[14:51] ---**
Hard training! Sword practice!
**[14:58] ---**
*Very good.
He does show promise in swordplay.*
**[15:08] ---**
Don't worry.
That man possesses unfathomable skill.
**[15:12] ---**
Besides, I've never
seen Dai train so seriously.
**[15:20] ---**
Now Dai.
**[15:23] ---**
Let's give it another go.
**[15:27] ---**
Master, I'm completely beat.
**[15:30] ---**
Just trust me and give it a try.
**[15:34] ---**
Okay.
**[15:48] ---**
I cut it?
**[15:51] ---**
When people are thoroughly exhausted,
their movements become simple.
**[15:57] ---**
In other words,
their most natural movements.
**[16:01] ---**
You tended to move too much
with your sword.
**[16:04] ---**
You've always had the strength
to slice a boulder like this.
**[16:09] ---**
Master, you really are amazing!
**[16:16] ---**
*He really sliced it in one day!*
**[16:18] ---**
Well done, Dai!
**[16:27] ---**
He really must have been exhausted.
**[16:32] ---**
Master, are you really going to continue
with the Special Hard Course?
**[16:37] ---**
Of course. His grand objective
is to save his friends, so he'll be fine.
**[16:47] ---**
Popp, you can join us with the morning
and evening training if you'd like.
**[17:22] ---**
*Well done. You made me use
both hands in only two days.*
**[17:33] ---**
Dai, you amaze me.
**[17:36] ---**
To improve this much since yesterday
is astounding progress.
**[17:42] ---**
As a reward, let me show you
my special move.
**[17:45] ---**
Huh?
**[17:48] ---**
This is my super special attack.
Try to master it as soon as possible.
**[17:57] ---**
Master, are you...
**[17:59] ---**
Avan Strash!
**[18:04] ---**
Master just went and showed him
his best attack!
**[18:07] ---**
It's this strong with just a wooden stick?
That's an amazing attack!
**[18:11] ---**
Popp, you can join
the Special Hard Course anytime.
**[18:16] ---**
Huh?! No thanks!
I'm fine with the Normal Course!
**[18:19] ---**
AVAN STYLE SWORD TECHNIQUE THEORY
EARTH, SEA, AIR
**[18:20] ---**
The theory
of the Avan Style Sword Technique.
**[18:23] ---**
Earth, sea, and air. You will learn
to slice these three things.
**[18:29] ---**
Earth? Sea and air?
**[18:31] ---**
Yes. Let's start with
the earth slicing attack, Earth Slash.
**[18:37] ---**
The key to this attack is power.
In other words, strength.
**[18:54] ---**
Avan Style Sword Technique!
**[18:57] ---**
Earth Slash!
**[19:07] ---**
Very nice.
You've almost mastered Earth Slash.
**[19:11] ---**
But Earth Slash is the most basic attack.
I wanna learn Avan Strash.
**[19:18] ---**
No, no. Everything has its proper order.
**[19:21] ---**
AVAN STYLE SWORD TECHNIQUE THEORY
EARTH, SEA, AIR
**[19:22] ---**
*Slice the earth, slice the sea,
slice the air.*
**[19:25] ---**
And what slices everything is Avan Strash.
**[19:29] ---**
Oh. I've got a long way to go.
**[19:36] ---**
Popp.
**[19:37] ---**
If you're watching, tend to Dai.
**[19:41] ---**
Y-Yes sir!
**[19:45] ---**
There. Get some rest until dinner.
**[19:47] ---**
Thanks.
**[19:48] ---**
Are you really going
to continue this all week?
**[19:52] ---**
Yeah. I am.
**[19:54] ---**
That's insane. Do you really like
that Papnica Princess that much?
**[19:59] ---**
Pretty much.
**[20:01] ---**
You're so naive.
**[20:13] ---**
I do apologize for dinner being so late.
**[20:17] ---**
N-Not at all.
**[20:18] ---**
I get so excited watching Dai's progress
I get caught up in the training.
**[20:23] ---**
And Popp too.
**[20:25] ---**
Popp?
**[20:26] ---**
Oh, he would never
take his training seriously.
**[20:32] ---**
Every time I gave him a hard task,
he'd always give up.
**[20:35] ---**
But recently, he's been curious about Dai
and keeps spying on him.
**[20:40] ---**
I see.
**[20:41] ---**
By the way, tomorrow's training
could get a little chaotic.
**[20:46] ---**
Is there a place we can use
where we won't trouble others?
**[20:49] ---**
A place that won't cause trouble?
**[20:53] ---**
You managed to learn Earth Slash
in two days, Dai.
**[20:57] ---**
Therefore, your third day training
shall be to learn an even harder skill.
**[21:02] ---**
Yes sir.
**[21:03] ---**
It won't be easy.
If you aren't careful...
**[21:06] ---**
you will die.
**[21:09] ---**
What sort of training is it?
**[21:12] ---**
Very simple. You will fight me.
**[21:15] ---**
That's all?
**[21:17] ---**
However, I will be using a special spell,
so you may use your knife.
**[21:23] ---**
My knife of Papnica?
**[21:25] ---**
That's right. My skin will
be harder than steel after all.
**[21:34] ---**
Here we go, Dai.
**[21:40] ---**
Puff!
**[21:53] ---**
Master turned into a Dragon!
**[22:20] ---**
*Kindness is the magic of kind people*
**[22:20] ---**
*yasashisa wa yasashii hito ga tsukaeru mahou*
**[22:26] ---**

But to just be a normal person?*

*I will never change those I protect*
**[22:46] ---**

**[22:53] ---**
*I wonder what you'd say*
**[22:53] ---**
*anata wa nannte iukana*
**[22:57] ---**
*At times I can be cowardly and small*
**[22:57] ---**
*tokiyori yowaki de chippoke de*
**[23:01] ---**
*What would you say to me
As I hesitate to even hesitate?*
**[23:01] ---**
*mayou koto ni mo mayou boku ni nannte iukana*
**[23:08] ---**
*Unlike the today that I sought*
**[23:08] ---**
*sagashite ita kyou to chigatte*
**[23:14] ---**
*I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment*
**[23:14] ---**
*ochikonnde shimau boku wo warau no darou*
**[23:33] ---**
*To learn the Avan Style Sword Technique*
**[23:35] ---**
*Dai bravely faces Avan, who changed
into a Dragon using an ancient spell.*
**[23:42] ---**
*Through Avan's training,
Dai rapidly grows stronger.*
**[23:46] ---**
*But an evil presence closes in.*
**[23:51] ---**
*Next time on*
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,*
**[23:55] ---**
*"The Dark Lord Hadlar's Return"*
**[23:57] ---**
*The adventure continues!*

THE DARK LORD HADLAR'S RETURN
**[02:18] ---**
So that's the island.
**[02:21] ---**
That crafty little...
**[02:25] ---**
Puff!
**[02:36] ---**
Master turned into a Dragon!
**[02:38] ---**
Puff! It's an ancient
mythical attack spell!
**[02:44] ---**
I never thought I'd see it used!
**[02:46] ---**
He's much bigger than the last one!
**[02:49] ---**
Among all monsters,
Dragons are the most powerful!
**[02:54] ---**
Only a true Hero can fight one
and overcome it!
**[02:59] ---**
Now face me, Dai!
**[03:04] ---**
This is going too far!
**[03:06] ---**
Get back, Grampa!
**[03:16] ---**
I told you.
**[03:18] ---**
A Dragon's skin is harder than steel.
**[03:21] ---**
Then I'll use Avan Style Sword Technique,
Earth Slash!
**[03:26] ---**
You cannot win simply with brute strength!
**[03:32] ---**
Dai!
**[03:47] ---**
Hmm. That's not it.
**[03:51] ---**
What the hell?! Don't scare me like that!
**[03:55] ---**
L-Listen, I wasn't training
to compete with Dai.
**[04:00] ---**
I want to be perfectly clear about that.
**[04:03] ---**
I don't know what sort of
heavy training he's doing's, but...
**[04:10] ---**
Master Avan?
**[04:11] ---**
What about Master...
**[04:15] ---**
What?!
**[04:17] ---**
He didn't!
**[04:20] ---**
How could he do something like that?!
**[04:23] ---**
Dai can barely use Crack! How is he
going to stop a Dragon's flames?!
**[04:30] ---**
Dai!
**[04:33] ---**
That's enough!
**[04:36] ---**
I'm fine, Grampa!
**[04:39] ---**
*Earth Slash is a strength-based attack.
I can't face a Dragon's flames with it.*
**[04:45] ---**
*Slice the earth, slice the sea,
slice the air.*
**[04:49] ---**
The Avan Style Sword Technique
is based on these three skills.
**[04:54] ---**
Yesterday, you attained Earth Slash,
the ability to slice the earth.
**[04:59] ---**
Now I shall explain the next skill.
**[05:01] ---**
Slice the sea.
**[05:03] ---**
The key to this attack is speed.
In other words, agility.
**[05:06] ---**
WAVE SLASH
SPEED
**[05:09] ---**
Beating a Dragon's flames
requires an attack that slices the sea!
**[05:13] ---**
Wave Slash!
**[05:23] ---**
Avan Style Sword Technique...
**[05:26] ---**
I see you've caught on.
But will it work?
**[05:33] ---**
Oh no!
**[05:37] ---**
Don't do it, Dai!
**[05:42] ---**
Wave Slash!
**[05:44] ---**
Dai!
**[05:49] ---**
He sliced... the flames!
**[06:05] ---**
Master...
**[06:08] ---**
Dai!
**[06:14] ---**
I did it.
**[06:16] ---**
Master, are you okay?
**[06:20] ---**
It stings.
**[06:21] ---**
It's your own fault, Master.
**[06:24] ---**
Using Puff for training is crazy.
**[06:27] ---**
What if you burned Dai to a crisp?
**[06:30] ---**
Well, remember when Dai split the sea
when he faced that Gargoyle?
**[06:36] ---**
I thought he might be able
to pull off Wave Slash right away.
**[06:40] ---**
Don't do things like that on a hunch!
**[06:43] ---**
You seem rather upset.
Were you really that worried?
**[06:49] ---**
N-No I wasn't.
**[06:54] ---**
If Earth Slash is a strength attack,
Wave Slash is a speed attack.
**[06:59] ---**
With the strength you already had, your
speed has increased these last few days.
**[07:06] ---**
So he was able to slice the flames
with the pressure from his quick slash.
**[07:10] ---**
Yep. Wave Slash is for slicing
formless things like fire and water.
**[07:15] ---**
Precisely!
**[07:16] ---**
If you master this skill, you can slice
flames and blizzards to attack enemies!
**[07:23] ---**
And Dai has already figured out
how to do Wave Slash!
**[07:26] ---**
At this rate, completing the
Special Hard Course could be a reality...
**[07:34] ---**
It stings.
**[07:37] ---**
Maybe a light Crack spell to cool it?
**[07:39] ---**
In that case, perhaps Dai should do it.
**[07:42] ---**
That might be perfect.
**[07:47] ---**
Crack!
**[07:53] ---**
A very nice size!
**[07:55] ---**
What do you mean by "nice"?
**[08:00] ---**
This is quite embarrassing.
**[08:03] ---**
But Popp, why are you here?
**[08:08] ---**
Huh?
**[08:09] ---**
I was forced to come here.
**[08:14] ---**
Huh. Popp was training alone?
**[08:17] ---**
Hey! Don't!
**[08:19] ---**
Huh? To compete with me?
**[08:21] ---**
Knock it off! I wasn't training!
**[08:31] ---**
An earthquake!
**[08:32] ---**
What is it? A volcanic eruption?!
**[08:34] ---**
No. It's something else.
**[08:36] ---**
This shaking...
**[08:39] ---**
is from someone trying to
breach the island's magic circle!
**[08:43] ---**
What?!
**[08:53] ---**
Who is it?!
**[08:55] ---**
A servant of the Dark Lord of course!
**[08:57] ---**
This island is protected
by a magic circle that repels evil!
**[09:01] ---**
Only bad guys can't come in!
**[09:03] ---**
*But a normal monster
wouldn't be able to set foot inside.*
**[09:09] ---**
*Could it be...?!*
**[09:18] ---**
D-Did they give up?
**[09:20] ---**
It's coming!
**[09:21] ---**
What?!
**[09:22] ---**
Something really powerful is coming!
**[09:24] ---**
I can feel its evil energy!
**[09:29] ---**
Grampa, what's wrong?!
**[09:32] ---**
I-I know this intense energy!
**[09:36] ---**
It appears my fears were correct.
**[09:54] ---**
Your magic circle was quite an annoyance.
**[09:59] ---**
So you're really back, Dark Lord!
**[10:02] ---**
Dark Lord?!
**[10:03] ---**
D-Dark Lord?!
**[10:08] ---**
Hadlar!
**[10:09] ---**
THE RESURRECTED DARK LORD
HADLAR
**[10:18] ---**
PUFF
FIRE DRAGON TRANSFORMATION SPELL
**[10:23] ---**
KASWOOSH
VORTEX-TYPE SPELL
**[10:29] ---**
The Dark Lord Hadlar?!
**[10:32] ---**
There's no mistaking it.
It's the Dark Lord!
**[10:36] ---**
And that face and body...
He looks younger than I remember!
**[10:42] ---**
He's overflowing with vitality!
**[10:53] ---**
It's been a while, Avan, the Hero.
**[10:58] ---**
Hero?!
**[10:59] ---**
Master is the Hero?!
**[11:02] ---**
Long ago, you thwarted
all of my ambitions,
**[11:06] ---**
and even took my life!
**[11:10] ---**
*I will never forget
that pain and humiliation!*
**[11:16] ---**
You've already taken
hundreds of human lives!
**[11:21] ---**
Compared to a Darkling like me,
humans are nothing more than chattel!
**[11:27] ---**
My life is worth more than thousands,
if not hundreds of millions of them!
**[11:34] ---**
You're still the same.
**[11:36] ---**
No. You're even more
disgusting than before.
**[11:40] ---**
And I've grown tired of your Hero antics.
**[11:43] ---**
That's right! Avan, the Hero!
**[11:45] ---**
The name of the legendary Hero
**[11:47] ---**
who fought and defeated the Dark Lord,
and brought peace to the world
**[11:52] ---**
was Avan!
**[11:53] ---**
Is it true, Master?!
**[11:57] ---**
That was a long time ago.
**[11:59] ---**
Now stay back!
**[12:01] ---**
No! I'll fight with you!
**[12:06] ---**
You idiot! Come on!
You too, gramps!
**[12:12] ---**
What are you doing, Popp?!
I have to fight, too!
**[12:15] ---**
You moron!
We'll only get in the way!
**[12:26] ---**
I can't believe Master
was the Hero who killed the Dark Lord!
**[12:30] ---**
I chose the wrong person to learn under!
**[12:34] ---**
So those are your students.
**[12:37] ---**
I hear you're going about as a Hero tutor
training warriors of justice.
**[12:45] ---**
I didn't expect that you'd return, though.
**[12:51] ---**
How futile.
**[12:53] ---**
Boom!
**[13:03] ---**
I'm glad that you came here yourself.
**[13:07] ---**
I can defeat you here
and clear the darkness clouding the world!
**[13:11] ---**
What rubbish!
**[13:19] ---**
Sizzle!
**[13:25] ---**
Yes!
**[13:48] ---**
What farce is this, Avan?!
**[13:55] ---**
It didn't work?!
**[13:56] ---**
Heat and explosion-type spells
are my forte!
**[14:01] ---**
Did you think you could defeat me
with an ember like that?!
**[14:05] ---**
Watch!
**[14:09] ---**
This is a true Sizzle!
**[14:13] ---**
Sizzle!
**[14:17] ---**
Wave Slash!
**[14:25] ---**
Master!
**[14:31] ---**
What power...
**[14:34] ---**
You're even stronger
than when we last fought.
**[14:39] ---**
How?!
**[14:41] ---**
You want to know?
You'll regret hearing the answer.
**[14:45] ---**
I see you still believe
that I'm the Dark Lord.
**[14:51] ---**
What do you mean?!
**[14:52] ---**
I was resurrected through the power
of a mighty ruler!
**[14:58] ---**
He gave me
a more powerful body than before!
**[15:02] ---**
What?!
**[15:03] ---**
There's someone stronger
than the Dark Lord?!
**[15:06] ---**
Who is it?!
**[15:11] ---**
Vearn, the Dark King.
**[15:14] ---**
The Dark King...
**[15:16] ---**
Vearn?!
**[15:18] ---**
*That's right!
It was Vearn, the Dark King!*
**[15:21] ---**
*A mighty god of the Underworld
who resurrected me after my defeat to you!*
**[15:27] ---**
A god of the Underworld?!
**[15:29] ---**
I had to sleep for over a decade
to replenish the power I lost,
**[15:35] ---**
but after my return,
I swore loyalty to Lord Vearn,
**[15:38] ---**
and was granted rule over his entire
Dark Army as his right hand man!
**[15:44] ---**
I am now supreme commander
over Lord Vearn's armies!
**[15:48] ---**
I am Hadlar, the Dark Commander!
**[15:50] ---**
Unbelievable!
**[15:52] ---**
There's someone stronger than him?!
**[15:54] ---**
It's over! This world is over!
**[15:58] ---**
Vearn, the Dark King is my master
and an omnipotent Dark God!
**[16:04] ---**
His armies are far greater than
mine ever were!
**[16:09] ---**
No matter what you do,
you humans have no hope!
**[16:15] ---**
What...
**[16:18] ---**
Avan, do you remember
our battle 15 years ago?
**[16:23] ---**
I offer you the same choice
I did back then.
**[16:28] ---**
Join me! Do so and I shall grant you
half of the world!
**[16:36] ---**
Well?
**[16:37] ---**
Now that you sense your defeat,
perhaps you'll be more reasonable.
**[16:44] ---**
I refuse!
**[16:47] ---**
Still the same answer.
You still can't see my mercy.
**[16:53] ---**
You don't know what mercy is!
**[16:56] ---**
Even if I agree,
you'd eventually take my life.
**[17:03] ---**
Don't be so sure.
**[17:04] ---**
Besides, I doubt you have the authority
to offer half of the world.
**[17:10] ---**
Now that you're just
a servant of your Dark King.
**[17:15] ---**
W-What?! A servant?!
**[17:17] ---**
You dare call me
a servant of the Dark King?!
**[17:22] ---**
I see I've struck a nerve.
**[17:25] ---**
Silence!
**[17:30] ---**
So much for sparing you!
Your students can watch you turn to ash!
**[17:36] ---**
That's the strongest
explosion-type spell there is! Kaboom!
**[17:39] ---**
Master, look out!
**[17:48] ---**
That stance!
**[17:54] ---**
Eat this!
**[17:56] ---**
Kaboom!
**[17:58] ---**
Avan Strash!
**[18:09] ---**
Master!
**[18:22] ---**
A draw?!
**[18:28] ---**
Ah, the attack that took my life,
Avan Strash.
**[18:34] ---**
It cuts deep.
**[18:36] ---**
However!
**[18:44] ---**
It appears it lacks the edge
over my resurrected power!
**[18:58] ---**
Master!
**[19:02] ---**
Idiot! What are you doing?!
**[19:04] ---**
I'm gonna fight!
**[19:06] ---**
Don't be stupid! How can we
fight someone even Master can't beat?!
**[19:11] ---**
Master used Puff in our training!
He barely has any Magic Power left!
**[19:18] ---**
That's right!
**[19:19] ---**
I've heard Puff takes three or four times
the Magic Power of a normal spell!
**[19:24] ---**
Master...
**[19:26] ---**
Hey!
**[19:28] ---**
You've grown weak, Avan.
**[19:31] ---**
No. I suppose this is
the limit of a human's power.
**[19:40] ---**
Let me ease your suffering.
**[19:44] ---**
Stop!
**[19:46] ---**
Do you want to die that much,
student of Avan?!
**[20:01] ---**
Dai...
**[20:11] ---**
Dai!
**[20:14] ---**
Darn... it...
**[20:24] ---**
You mean nothing to me.
**[20:27] ---**
If you want to live, get out of my sight.
**[20:31] ---**
Th-Thank you.
**[20:33] ---**
Excuse us!
**[20:43] ---**
What?!
**[20:44] ---**
Blood?! Impossible!
**[20:47] ---**
That little brat's blade
drew blood from me?!
**[20:54] ---**
Stop, boy.
**[20:59] ---**
Y-Yes sir?
**[21:08] ---**
I've changed my mind.
**[21:11] ---**
I suppose no student of Avan
can be left alive after all.
**[21:19] ---**
I'll slaughter you all!
**[21:21] ---**
Popp! Dai!
**[21:25] ---**
Sizzle!
**[21:57] ---**
Master!
**[22:20] ---**
*Kindness is the magic of kind people*
**[22:20] ---**

*What would you say to me
As I hesitate to even hesitate?*

THE INSIGNIA OF AVAN
**[01:52] ---**
Sizzle!
**[02:06] ---**
Sir Avan!
**[02:12] ---**
Is everyone alright?
**[02:16] ---**
Thank goodness.
Talk about very nice timing.
**[02:20] ---**
Master!
**[02:23] ---**
I didn't think he had the strength.
**[02:28] ---**
Master, are you okay?
**[02:31] ---**
I'm in a lot of pain.
But I don't have time for that now.
**[02:35] ---**
He's more powerful than
when he was the Dark Lord.
**[02:39] ---**
Not only that, he has
the Dark King backing him.
**[02:45] ---**
Our enemy is far beyond my expectations.
**[02:49] ---**
With our current strength...
**[02:53] ---**
we can't win.
**[02:54] ---**
But...!
**[02:55] ---**
That's why he...
Hadlar, the Dark Commander...
**[03:00] ---**
must be brought down here.
**[03:03] ---**
And Dai, Popp...
**[03:07] ---**
I ask that someday you two
defeat Vearn, the Dark King!
**[03:19] ---**
I underestimated you.
Well done, Avan, the Hero.
**[03:23] ---**
Wait...
**[03:25] ---**
Master, do you intend to die?!
**[03:27] ---**
Master, I'll fight with you!
**[03:31] ---**
Kaclang!
**[03:35] ---**
W-What's this?!
**[03:36] ---**
It's Kaclang!
**[03:38] ---**
Kaclang?!
**[03:39] ---**
It's a high-level defensive spell
**[03:42] ---**
that turns the body to steel
and repels any magical attack!
**[03:47] ---**
But if we're like this...
**[03:49] ---**
We can't move!
**[03:52] ---**
You should all be safe now.
**[03:54] ---**
You may watch my final battle from there.
**[03:59] ---**
By "final," you mean...!
**[04:01] ---**
Don't do this! I'll fight!
Together with you!
**[04:05] ---**
How foolish, Avan. To spend your remaining
Magic Power on your students.
**[04:24] ---**
Oh! Those are...!
**[04:26] ---**
Insignias of Avan!
Certificates of graduation!
**[04:29] ---**
Graduation?!
**[04:31] ---**
I give these to students
I believe are fully trained.
**[04:35] ---**
Dai, you possess outstanding potential.
**[04:43] ---**
I regret our training was cut short
at three days.
**[04:47] ---**
If we continued for the remaining four...
**[04:50] ---**
I'm certain you could have become a Hero.
**[04:54] ---**
Master Avan!
**[04:55] ---**
That is why I give this to you.
**[04:58] ---**
Continue with your training
and become a true Hero.
**[05:02] ---**
Master, I...!
**[05:06] ---**
Popp.
**[05:07] ---**
Don't!
**[05:10] ---**
Don't do it, Master! I don't want that!
**[05:13] ---**
Stop being so morbid!
Our training isn't over yet!
**[05:20] ---**
Popp...
**[05:21] ---**
I don't care if you were the Hero once!
Why are you doing all this?!
**[05:26] ---**
You said yourself you can't beat him!
**[05:30] ---**
It's because I can't beat him
that I must risk my life.
**[05:36] ---**
Besides, Popp,
**[05:38] ---**
I believe the power we gain through
training should be used to help others.
**[05:44] ---**
Perhaps my power was granted to me
by the gods to protect you on this day.
**[05:51] ---**
Don't do this, Master!
**[05:54] ---**
Someday I know you will understand.
**[05:57] ---**
So, hold onto this
for when that day comes.
**[06:02] ---**
Master!
**[06:04] ---**
Master!
**[06:05] ---**
Oh my. You haven't officially graduated
and you're already so emotional.
**[06:12] ---**
You'll need to work much, much harder
to become Heroes worthy of those.
**[06:20] ---**
Mr. Brass and Gomechan,
thank you for everything.
**[06:25] ---**
Sir Avan, don't do anything rash!
**[06:28] ---**
Don't worry. I will not lose.
**[06:38] ---**
Done saying goodbye to your students?
**[06:41] ---**
Let us fight, Hadlar!
**[06:45] ---**
Very well.
**[06:46] ---**
But having used your last Magic Power
to cast Kaclang has sealed your fate.
**[06:52] ---**
You've spent most of
your Magic Power, too!
**[07:13] ---**
Here goes!
**[07:22] ---**
Fool!
**[07:24] ---**
As we stand...
**[07:27] ---**
even with just combat skills...
**[07:30] ---**
I have more than enough...
**[07:33] ---**
power to...
**[07:34] ---**
tear you...
**[07:37] ---**
apart!
**[07:49] ---**
Master!
**[07:50] ---**
Move! Move!
**[08:10] ---**
Die, Avan!
**[08:19] ---**
You...!
**[08:27] ---**
A spell?! Impossible!
**[08:30] ---**
You should be out of Magic Power!
**[08:33] ---**
This spell requires
very little Magic Power.
**[08:36] ---**
Instead, it turns life energy
into explosive power to defeat enemies!
**[08:43] ---**
Wait! This spell is...!
**[08:48] ---**
Stop! Don't do it!
**[08:53] ---**
You'll die! It'll kill you too, Avan!
**[08:56] ---**
Do you want that?!
**[09:03] ---**
Popp, Dai! I leave the rest to you!
**[09:07] ---**
Stop!
**[09:15] ---**
Megante!
**[09:48] ---**
Master!
**[09:50] ---**
Sir Avan used the spell Megante.
**[09:53] ---**
Megante?
**[09:55] ---**
He used the final destructive spell
that uses his own life to save his allies.
**[10:02] ---**
Sir Avan, you truly are...
**[10:05] ---**
Master used his own life to protect us.
**[10:11] ---**
Master...
**[10:16] ---**
SIZZLE
HEAT-TYPE SPELL
**[10:21] ---**
KABOOM
EXPLOSION-TYPE SPELL
**[10:28] ---**
Is that Master?!
**[10:37] ---**
Hadlar?!
**[10:41] ---**
No! Where's Master?!
**[10:54] ---**
You truly have grown weak, Avan!
**[10:57] ---**
You used your own life to cast Megante,
and you still couldn't defeat me!
**[11:05] ---**
Now there is nothing left to fear!
The Dark Army is unopposed!
**[11:11] ---**
He truly is a monster!
**[11:14] ---**
No way...
**[11:20] ---**
Curse you, Avan.
**[11:30] ---**
I need to wipe out your students
here and now.
**[11:38] ---**
Don't worry! The effects of
Sir Avan's Kaclang still remain!
**[11:44] ---**
It will repel any attack!
**[11:47] ---**
Don't be so sure.
**[11:48] ---**
Having you immobile is perfect.
**[11:54] ---**
Huh?!
**[11:55] ---**
He can use Frizz, too?!
**[11:57] ---**
My Frizz is pure hellfire.
It will burn until my target is destroyed.
**[12:03] ---**
I simply cast it, and the moment your
Kaclang wears off, you'll turn to ashes!
**[12:09] ---**
Don't! Please don't!
**[12:11] ---**
You should be happy.
When you die, you can go to the afterlife.
**[12:16] ---**
Your precious master is there,
waiting for you.
**[12:22] ---**
*That's right! Master did it for us!*
**[12:26] ---**
*He gave his life so we could survive!*
**[12:31] ---**
*If we die here,
then what did he sacrifice himself for?!*
**[12:44] ---**
*I have my life
because Master gave it to me!*
**[13:00] ---**
*What?! Is he going to
break the Kaclang on his own?!*
**[13:08] ---**
*What is he?!*
**[13:16] ---**
He broke the Kaclang!
**[13:18] ---**
You brat! Burn to death!
**[13:23] ---**
Kafrizz!
**[13:26] ---**
Kacrack!
**[13:37] ---**
Dai used magic?!
**[13:38] ---**
And it's stronger than mine!
**[13:40] ---**
My flames...
**[13:43] ---**
Then I'll just pummel you to death!
**[13:47] ---**
Die!
**[14:03] ---**
What is this power?!
**[14:08] ---**
Impossible! Th-That crest...!
**[14:22] ---**
A Dragon?!
**[14:28] ---**
What is that light?!
**[14:29] ---**
I remember!
Dai used powerful magic in battle before!
**[14:35] ---**
That mark appeared on his forehead then!
**[14:39] ---**
*A Dragon Crest?!
Is this boy a Dragon Knight?!*
**[14:45] ---**
*Impossible!*
**[14:49] ---**
How dare you...
**[14:52] ---**
How dare you kill Master!
**[14:54] ---**
You'll pay for that!
**[14:57] ---**
Don't get cocky, boy!
**[15:10] ---**
Yes!
**[15:12] ---**
This is impossible! I may have
sustained damage from Megante...
**[15:17] ---**
And he may be a student of Avan...
**[15:20] ---**
But how could I be overpowered
by a mere child?!
**[15:30] ---**
Die!
**[15:35] ---**
Die! Die!
**[15:41] ---**
Eat this!
**[15:44] ---**
Boom!
**[15:52] ---**
Dai!
**[15:57] ---**
How's that? I used
the last of my Magic Power on that spell.
**[16:03] ---**
Surely he's dead now.
**[16:09] ---**
Dai! Don't tell me he killed you, too!
**[16:13] ---**
That's right! There's no way I can lose!
**[16:31] ---**
Impossible!
**[16:49] ---**
I won't lose! Not to you!
**[17:02] ---**
Die!
**[17:05] ---**
Dai! Above you!
**[17:06] ---**
Feel how powerful Master's attack is...
**[17:13] ---**
for yourself!
**[17:18] ---**
What?!
**[17:19] ---**
Avan...
**[17:23] ---**
Strash!
**[17:39] ---**
Curse you, boy! I'll remember
this humiliation and your name!
**[17:44] ---**
I swear I will kill you! Dai!
**[18:15] ---**
Dai, are you okay?!
**[18:18] ---**
Grampa, Gomechan.
**[18:21] ---**
Where's Hadlar?!
**[18:23] ---**
Unfortunately, it seems he escaped.
I saw him use a Chimaera Wing.
**[18:29] ---**
Oh...
**[18:36] ---**
Master...
**[18:38] ---**
Master...
**[18:40] ---**
Master!
**[18:58] ---**
The magic circle of light remains
even after Sir Avan has gone.
**[19:05] ---**
He still protects us even now.
**[19:08] ---**
I told you Master is amazing.
**[19:11] ---**
Popp...
**[19:12] ---**
Dai, what will you do now?
**[19:15] ---**
Huh?
**[19:16] ---**
Will you continue
your magic training under me?
**[19:20] ---**
Or...
**[19:22] ---**
I...
**[19:27] ---**
Master gave me a mission.
To one day defeat Vearn, the Dark King.
**[19:35] ---**
That's why... I...
**[19:41] ---**
SOVEREIGN ROCK CASTLE
**[19:51] ---**
*I see you took quite the beating, Hadlar.*
**[19:55] ---**
Forgive me, my Dark King,
for making you see me in this condition.
**[20:01] ---**
*It matters not.*
**[20:04] ---**
*You have buried Avan, the Hero.
Consider them wounds of honor.*
**[20:11] ---**
My Lord.
**[20:12] ---**
*I have placed all of my trust in you.*
**[20:16] ---**
*With your rival Avan dead,
no one can stop my Dark Army.*
**[20:22] ---**
*Go forth and fulfill your dream
of overthrowing the world.*
**[20:27] ---**
Yes, Sire!
**[20:32] ---**
*It's true that Avan is dead.*
**[20:35] ---**
*But that boy Dai is a far greater threat.*
**[20:40] ---**
*Wounded as I was, to overpower me,
Hadlar, the Dark Commander...*
**[20:48] ---**
*And that mark on his forehead.
The Dragon Crest.*
**[20:54] ---**
*If he really is a Dragon Knight...*
**[20:58] ---**
*And, with Avan's training,
if he manages to reach power of a Hero...*
**[21:04] ---**
*he will become
far more powerful than Avan!*
**[21:09] ---**
*The wounds I received from him
are proof of that.*
**[21:14] ---**
*The wound from Dai heals slower
than the wound from Avan.*
**[21:19] ---**
*In that instant,
Dai's blade surpassed that of his master!*
**[21:29] ---**
*If I let him live, he is sure to grow into
a terrifying enemy.*
**[21:44] ---**
I must crush him!
While he still remains a fledgling!
**[21:54] ---**
With my grand Dark Army!
**[22:20] ---**
*Kindness is the magic of kind people*
**[22:20] ---**
*yasashisa wa yasashii hito ga tsukaeru mahou*
**[22:26] ---**
*Then do I have no choice
But to just be a normal person?*
**[22:26] ---**
*jaa boku wa tada no hito de iru shikanaino?*
**[22:33] ---**
*I'm not sure*
**[22:33] ---**
*doudarou*
**[22:38] ---**
*Even if the place I call home may change*
**[22:38] ---**
*kaeru basho wa ne kawatte yuku kedo*
**[22:44] ---**
*Listen to me, Mother*
**[22:44] ---**
*naa kaasan boku wa*
**[22:46] ---**
*I will never change those I protect*
**[22:46] ---**
*mamoru hito wo kaetari shinai*
**[22:53] ---**
*I wonder what you'd say*
**[22:53] ---**
*anata wa nannte iukana*
**[22:57] ---**
*At times I can be cowardly and small*
**[22:57] ---**
*tokiyori yowaki de chippoke de*
**[23:01] ---**
*What would you say to me
As I hesitate to even hesitate?*
**[23:01] ---**
*mayou koto ni mo mayou boku ni nannte iukana*
**[23:08] ---**
*Unlike the today that I sought*
**[23:08] ---**
*sagashite ita kyou to chigatte*
**[23:14] ---**
*I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment*
**[23:14] ---**
*ochikonnde shimau boku wo warau no darou*
**[23:33] ---**
*With new determination in their hearts,
Dai and Popp leave Dermline Island.*
**[23:38] ---**
*Their first stop
is the Dark Forest of Romos Kingdom.*
**[23:42] ---**
*Dai and Popp meet the girl Maam.*
**[23:45] ---**
*The terrifying footsteps
of monsters approach.*
**[23:48] ---**
*Can Dai and his friends
safely make it through the forest?*
**[23:53] ---**
*Next time on*
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,*
**[23:56] ---**
*"Crocodine, the Beast King"*
**[23:58] ---**
*The adventure continues!*

CROCODINE, THE BEAST KING
**[01:50] ---**
So you're leaving, Dai?
**[01:52] ---**
Yeah.
**[01:53] ---**
I'm sorry. I'd like to join you,
**[01:57] ---**
but if I take a step off this island,
I'll be under the Dark Load's thrall.
**[02:05] ---**
It's fine, Grampa.
Just wait here with everyone.
**[02:09] ---**
I promise I'll defeat the Dark King.
**[02:13] ---**
Dai...
**[02:15] ---**
Where's Gomechan?
**[02:17] ---**
I wonder...
**[02:19] ---**
Maybe hiding somewhere
because saying goodbye is so hard.
**[02:25] ---**
I see.
**[02:28] ---**
How about Popp?
**[02:30] ---**
He's still asleep after crying all night.
It must have been quite a shock.
**[02:37] ---**
Grampa, take care of Popp, too.
**[02:43] ---**
*Master! Don't go!*
**[02:45] ---**
Don't leave me, Master!
**[02:47] ---**
Popp, use what you've learned
to help others.
**[02:53] ---**
Master! Don't!
**[02:59] ---**
Master Avan!
**[03:07] ---**
Master...
**[03:12] ---**
Romos Kingdom is the closest.
Head north and go straight.
**[03:18] ---**
Okay. I'll see King Romos first.
**[03:21] ---**
Then I'll head to Papnica.
**[03:23] ---**
Watch yourself out there, Dai.
**[03:32] ---**
Bye everyone! Take care!
**[03:37] ---**
Dai!
**[03:40] ---**
How dare you!
**[03:42] ---**
Trying to leave me here!
**[03:47] ---**
Popp!
**[03:53] ---**
Popp...
**[03:55] ---**
D-Don't get the wrong idea!
I'm not going to fight the Dark Army!
**[04:01] ---**
I just don't want to spend my days
on that island!
**[04:05] ---**
Just so we're clear. Got it?
**[04:11] ---**
Really?
**[04:14] ---**
Okay! We're off!
**[04:18] ---**
*We'll be praying for both of you.*
**[04:45] ---**
Help!
**[05:15] ---**
I was so scared!
**[05:17] ---**
Are you okay?
**[05:20] ---**
Thank you.
**[05:21] ---**
You're alone?
**[05:22] ---**
I got lost in the woods.
**[05:25] ---**
Huh? You're lost?
**[05:27] ---**
Please, could you take me to my village?
**[05:31] ---**
Um, well, about that...
**[05:35] ---**
Please!
**[05:36] ---**
We're actually lost, too.
**[05:39] ---**
Huh?
**[05:43] ---**
This is pathetic! I followed you
because you said you got this!
**[05:48] ---**
This place is a lot bigger
than Dermline Island.
**[05:52] ---**
What are we supposed to do?! We've been
lost for three days since we got here!
**[06:15] ---**
What is that?! That weapon's amazing!
**[06:18] ---**
Learn to see things through, little Mage.
**[06:21] ---**
What the hell?! You got a problem
with my magic?! Well?!
**[06:28] ---**
"Squish"?
**[06:29] ---**
What was that for?!
**[06:33] ---**
You pervert!
**[06:35] ---**
A girl?!
**[06:44] ---**
Maam!
**[06:45] ---**
Mina!
**[06:47] ---**
Bad girl. I've told you
never to go into the forest alone!
**[06:52] ---**
Mommy was bitten by a Poison Slime.
**[06:56] ---**
I came looking for an Antidotal Herb.
**[06:58] ---**
You should have come to me.
**[07:01] ---**
But I'm glad you're all right.
**[07:04] ---**
Yeah. They saved me.
**[07:10] ---**
Thank you very much. I'm Maam.
**[07:14] ---**
I live in Nayle Village,
east of this forest.
**[07:18] ---**
I'm Dai, this is Popp. We're traveling.
**[07:22] ---**
You're really strong!
**[07:25] ---**
You need this sort of equipment
to live near the Dark Forest.
**[07:30] ---**
The Dark Forest?
**[07:31] ---**
Ever since the Dark Lord returned,
tons of monsters started living here.
**[07:38] ---**
It's always been like a maze in here,
**[07:41] ---**
so the people of this country
began calling it the Dark Forest.
**[07:45] ---**
I see.
**[07:47] ---**
Where are you two headed?
**[07:49] ---**
They said they're lost.
**[07:51] ---**
To Romos Palace.
**[07:53] ---**
The palace is straight through the forest.
**[07:56] ---**
But the sun's setting. Why don't you
stay the night in our village?
**[08:01] ---**
I'd like to thank you for saving Mina.
**[08:04] ---**
Really?! That's...
**[08:06] ---**
What, Popp?
**[08:08] ---**
Forget that girl. Let's just go.
**[08:11] ---**
Huh?! But they'll let us stay.
**[08:13] ---**
You dummy!
**[08:15] ---**
The hospitality of a palace or
a scrawny village? It's not even a debate.
**[08:20] ---**
Hey, she might hear.
**[08:22] ---**
She can hear.
**[08:25] ---**
As you've guessed, my village is scrawny.
**[08:29] ---**
Why don't you hurry and go get
your dinner at the palace?
**[08:33] ---**
Um, he didn't...
**[08:35] ---**
After dark, ferocious monsters
start prowling this area.
**[08:40] ---**
So you better
get through the forest quick.
**[08:43] ---**
With your skills,
you'd probably get eaten.
**[08:48] ---**
In that case...
**[08:49] ---**
Sure! We can get through this brush
without your stupid advice!
**[08:58] ---**
Um...
**[09:01] ---**
Let's go already, Dai!
Before some scary monsters show up!
**[09:06] ---**
Are you sure, Maam?
**[09:08] ---**
Forget about them.
**[09:10] ---**
Oh?
**[09:12] ---**
Did they forget this?
**[09:19] ---**
A Slime?
**[09:22] ---**
Ooh! So pretty!
**[09:23] ---**
Don't touch it!
**[09:29] ---**
Don't be mean to it.
**[09:32] ---**
I wasn't...
**[09:34] ---**
Come here.
**[09:39] ---**
It's so cute!
**[09:41] ---**
Those guys...
**[09:43] ---**
What are we supposed to do with this?!
**[09:47] ---**
Should we go after them?
**[09:49] ---**
After we get you home.
**[09:52] ---**
Dammit! That stuck-up...!
**[09:55] ---**
I swear I'll get through this forest!
**[09:58] ---**
Oh man. We should have taken up her offer.
**[10:02] ---**
Shut up!
**[10:03] ---**
Hurry up!
**[10:06] ---**
My servant has located Dai.
In the Dark Forest.
**[10:09] ---**
I see. They're headed for Romos Castle.
**[10:13] ---**
The land of Romos
is Furfang Legion territory.
**[10:17] ---**
Get me the Legion Commander,
Beast King Crocodine.
**[10:26] ---**
*Crocodine.*
**[10:28] ---**
*Beast King Crocodine.*
**[10:34] ---**
Who's there? What is it?
**[10:36] ---**
*It is I, Hadlar.*
**[10:39] ---**
Ah, Sir Dark Commander!
Forgive my rudeness!
**[10:43] ---**
*What are you doing? I believe
I ordered you to take Romos Kingdom.*
**[10:49] ---**
That kingdom is worthless. Nothing but
cowards and not a single worthy warrior.
**[10:55] ---**
My Furfang Legion monsters
can take it without my help.
**[11:01] ---**
Just give them a few more days.
**[11:05] ---**
*You haven't changed.*
**[11:07] ---**
*But that's not why I contacted you.*
**[11:10] ---**
*Someone who would oppose our Dark Army
is lost in the Dark Forest.*
**[11:16] ---**
What?! Are they strong?!
**[11:19] ---**
*This is him. His name is Dai.*
**[11:22] ---**
*I want you to kill him yourself.*
**[11:28] ---**
What's so funny?!
**[11:30] ---**
*Surely you jest.
I hold the title of Beast King.*
**[11:35] ---**
*You would have me fight a child?*
**[11:39] ---**
Don't underestimate him because he's
a child! He possesses unbelievable power.
**[11:46] ---**
He even wounded me!
**[11:49] ---**
What?!
**[11:50] ---**
*He must be killed before he grows stronger
or he is sure to become a threat!*
**[11:58] ---**
Interesting!
**[11:59] ---**
I'd love to fight a boy
who managed to wound even you!
**[12:06] ---**
*I'm counting on you.
Make sure he dies.*
**[12:14] ---**
AVAN STRASH
**[12:19] ---**
HELL'S CLAW
**[12:24] ---**
H-Huh?
**[12:26] ---**
A dead end?
**[12:28] ---**
We should've asked that girl to guide us.
**[12:32] ---**
I can't stand stuck-up girls like that!
**[12:36] ---**
Then what kind of girls do you like?
**[12:39] ---**
Well, obviously someone
beautiful, sexy, and rich,
**[12:44] ---**
who'll do whatever I say.
**[12:49] ---**
Popp, you really are selfish.
**[12:55] ---**
What's that voice?!
**[12:56] ---**
I sense incredible pressure!
**[13:01] ---**
That voice...!
**[13:13] ---**
It's coming!
**[13:26] ---**
There you are, boy!
**[13:27] ---**
A Croc Man?!
**[13:30] ---**
I am Beast King Crocodine!
**[13:33] ---**
FURFANG LEGION, LEGION COMMANDER
BEAST KING CROCODINE
**[13:34] ---**
Legion Commander of one of the
**[13:35] ---**
six legions under Dark Commander Hadlar,
**[13:39] ---**
the Furfang Legion!
**[13:41] ---**
Six legions?!
**[13:42] ---**
That's right.
**[13:43] ---**
The Dark Army is divided into six legions
based on the characteristics of monsters.
**[13:50] ---**
*The Undead Legion!*
**[13:52] ---**
*A legion of warriors
who have overcome even death itself!*
**[13:56] ---**
*The Blizzblaze Legion!*
**[13:58] ---**
*Destroyers who incinerate all
and freeze even the soul!*
**[14:03] ---**
*The Mystic Legion!*
**[14:05] ---**
*A legion of Mages
who control unparalleled magic!*
**[14:10] ---**
*The Shadow Legion!*
**[14:12] ---**
*Dark hunters who kill from the shadows,
unseen and unknown!*
**[14:16] ---**
*The Dragon Legion!*
**[14:18] ---**
*A legion of Dragons,
the most powerful of monsters!*
**[14:23] ---**
And my own Furfang Legion!
**[14:27] ---**
*A pack of fearless beasts!*
**[14:31] ---**
Dai, by Hadlar's command,
I'm here to kill you!
**[14:36] ---**
If you wish to live,
show your true strength.
**[14:40] ---**
The strength that let you wound
even the Dark Commander himself.
**[14:44] ---**
Stuff it, you stupid crocodile!
**[14:49] ---**
From what you say, you're nothing more
than Hadlar's underling!
**[14:53] ---**
Even Hadlar turned tail and ran from us!
**[14:58] ---**
We'll hardly break a sweat with you!
**[15:01] ---**
Right, Dai?
**[15:02] ---**
Huh?
**[15:03] ---**
*But you didn't do anything.*
**[15:08] ---**
What's so funny?! I could
easily wipe you out with my spells!
**[15:15] ---**
I don't know who you are,
but go ahead and try.
**[15:19] ---**
What was that, you bastard?!
**[15:21] ---**
Frizz!
**[15:31] ---**
With just his breath?!
**[15:32] ---**
You couldn't kill a Slime with this spell.
**[15:36] ---**
Now it's my turn!
**[15:53] ---**
*Wow! In terms of raw power,
he's stronger than Hadlar!*
**[15:58] ---**
Don't underestimate us Legion Commanders.
**[16:01] ---**
In terms of our specialties,
we all surpass Hadlar.
**[16:08] ---**
That is why we were chosen
as Legion Commanders.
**[16:11] ---**
Popp, we can't beat him head-on.
**[16:15] ---**
I'll hit him when he's distracted,
so give me some cover with spells.
**[16:22] ---**
Popp?
**[16:24] ---**
Huh?!
**[16:25] ---**
Popp, no way...
**[16:29] ---**
A wise choice! The weakling can run!
**[16:33] ---**
My orders are to kill only you, Dai!
**[16:39] ---**
Here goes!
**[16:45] ---**
Sorry Dai!
Try to find a way to get out of there!
**[16:51] ---**
Ow, ow... What the...?
**[16:55] ---**
A-An Infanticore?
**[17:12] ---**
*He's a lot faster than I thought!*
**[17:15] ---**
What's wrong?
Stop running and fight me!
**[17:20] ---**
All right! Here goes, Crocodine!
**[17:24] ---**
What's that stance?
**[17:26] ---**
Avan Style Sword Technique!
**[17:27] ---**
Avan? The legendary Hero
who defeated Hadlar.
**[17:34] ---**
Avan was my master!
**[17:36] ---**
I see.
You carry on the will of Avan.
**[17:42] ---**
So you're a Disciple of Avan!
**[17:44] ---**
A Disciple of Avan?
**[17:46] ---**
That's right!
**[17:47] ---**
Earth Slash!
**[17:49] ---**
*It didn't work?!*
**[17:51] ---**
*I couldn't even scratch him
with Earth Slash!*
**[17:56] ---**
*His hide is like steel!*
**[18:00] ---**
Not bad. But it'll take
more than a knife to hurt me.
**[18:06] ---**
Now see the might
of a true warrior's weapon!
**[18:14] ---**
This is Woosh?!
**[18:16] ---**
That's right! I myself can't use magic,
**[18:19] ---**
but my Vortex Axe
is imbued with Vortex-type magic!
**[18:24] ---**
*That's right. Master mentioned it.*
**[18:27] ---**
*Legendary weapons that can exhibit
spell effects when used as items!*
**[18:32] ---**
Howl! Vortex Axe!
**[18:38] ---**
Got you!
**[18:40] ---**
*It's no good!
I can't beat him with strength!*
**[18:43] ---**
*Speed! I'll dodge with speed
and hit him with Wave Slash!*
**[18:48] ---**
Die!
**[18:52] ---**
What?!
**[19:00] ---**
C-Curse you!
**[19:07] ---**
That's...!
**[19:11] ---**
You!
**[19:12] ---**
Jump to the side!
**[19:14] ---**
Jump!
**[19:15] ---**
Right!
**[19:25] ---**
*Wow! She's even stronger than me!*
**[19:29] ---**
Are you okay?!
**[19:30] ---**
Uh, s-sure.
**[19:32] ---**
What happened?
**[19:33] ---**
Well, you see,
we were attacked by the Dark Army.
**[19:36] ---**
I managed to get away.
**[19:39] ---**
Where's your friend?
**[19:40] ---**
Well, um, you see...
**[19:43] ---**
Wait, you're not telling me
you abandoned him?!
**[19:47] ---**
No, no, no!
**[19:48] ---**
Then explain yourself!
**[19:50] ---**
Uh...
**[19:52] ---**
Huh?
**[20:07] ---**
It's like a Frizz spell!
**[20:09] ---**
*With a weapon like this,
she's no ordinary girl!*
**[20:14] ---**
Huh?
**[20:20] ---**
This is a graduation certificate!
An Insignia of Avan!
**[20:25] ---**
Then you're also...
**[20:28] ---**
Uh, er, listen, this is...
**[20:39] ---**
Bothersome gnat!
**[20:41] ---**
Vortex Axe!
**[20:43] ---**
Now!
Avan Style Sword Technique!
**[20:46] ---**
Wave Slash!
**[20:54] ---**
It burns!
**[20:55] ---**
Heat Breath. My secret attack.
**[20:59] ---**
I'm impressed that
you managed to wound me.
**[21:05] ---**
Why can't I move?
**[21:07] ---**
That's enough. You fought well.
**[21:11] ---**
You were far stronger than
any of the veteran warriors I've defeated.
**[21:16] ---**
It's a shame, but I'll end your suffering.
**[21:20] ---**
Dai!
**[21:21] ---**
Dammit!
**[21:23] ---**
You won't stop me!
**[21:27] ---**
Dai! Run!
**[21:29] ---**
Why won't he run?!
**[21:33] ---**
He's paralyzed!
**[21:38] ---**
That's it! Use that weapon and...
**[21:43] ---**
Wait! Our enemy is Crocodine!
Where are you aiming?!
**[21:46] ---**
Stop!
**[21:57] ---**
Dai!
**[22:20] ---**
*Kindness is the magic of kind people*
**[22:20] ---**

*I wonder what you'd say*

**[22:57] ---**
*At times I can be cowardly and small*
**[22:57] ---**
*tokiyori yowaki de chippoke de*
**[23:01] ---**
*What would you say to me
As I hesitate to even hesitate?*
**[23:01] ---**
*mayou koto ni mo mayou boku ni nannte iukana*
**[23:08] ---**
*Unlike the today that I sought*
**[23:08] ---**
*sagashite ita kyou to chigatte*
**[23:14] ---**
*I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment*
**[23:14] ---**
*ochikonnde shimau boku wo warau no darou*
**[23:34] ---**
*Dai and Crocodine's battle continues
in the Dark Forest.*
**[23:38] ---**
*Watching them fight, Maam remembers
what Avan told her when she was young.*

Maam makes a decision.*

MAAM'S TURMOIL
**[01:52] ---**
Dai! Run!
**[01:55] ---**
He's paralyzed!
**[02:01] ---**
Stop!
**[02:07] ---**
Dai!
**[02:11] ---**
Why did you shoot Dai?!
**[02:12] ---**
Calm down! Look!
**[02:21] ---**
I can move!
**[02:23] ---**
I can move my body!
**[02:29] ---**
Damn you!
**[02:35] ---**
How can you move?!
**[02:37] ---**
What did you do?!
**[02:39] ---**
That was Tingle.
A spell that cures paralysis and numbness.
**[02:43] ---**
I shot him with Tingle to help him.
**[02:51] ---**
We were interrupted...
**[02:54] ---**
but you merely
extended your life a few moments!
**[02:59] ---**
Dai!
**[03:00] ---**
Dammit, what is that weapon?!
**[03:03] ---**
I know! Can you cast Crack?!
**[03:05] ---**
Sure! My Ice-type spells
are unparalleled...
**[03:08] ---**
Forget the bragging!
Load it into this bullet!
**[03:11] ---**
Huh? How?!
**[03:13] ---**
Press the stone at the top
and cast the spell!
**[03:16] ---**
Hurry!
**[03:17] ---**
All right...!
**[03:20] ---**
Crackle!
**[03:32] ---**
Die!
**[03:34] ---**
Now!
**[03:45] ---**
The sun?!
**[03:50] ---**
How's that?!
**[03:53] ---**
You dare scar my face...
No, my pride!
**[04:00] ---**
Remember this, Dai!
**[04:03] ---**
I swear I'll kill you! I swear it!
**[04:14] ---**
Dai! Are you okay?!
**[04:15] ---**
Popp...
**[04:17] ---**
Popp, how could you ditch me?
**[04:19] ---**
Um, that was...
**[04:21] ---**
So you really did abandon him!
**[04:27] ---**
This is my Magic Bullet Gun.
It was a gift from Master Avan.
**[04:31] ---**
You load spells
into the Magic Bullets and fire them.
**[04:35] ---**
Huh. So it's shoots
attack and heal spells.
**[04:38] ---**
Oh, so you're
a student of Master Avan, too.
**[04:42] ---**
That explains your strength.
**[04:43] ---**
How do you feel?
**[04:44] ---**
Much better.
Your Midheal is better than Grampa's.
**[04:48] ---**
Hey, could I get a heal spell, too?
**[04:53] ---**
Here! Medicinal herbs!
**[04:54] ---**
What the hell!
What's this difference in treatment?!
**[04:57] ---**
The difference between
a Hero and a coward!
**[04:59] ---**
W-What?!
**[05:03] ---**
These clouds bode ill tidings.
**[05:07] ---**
I hope nothing's happened to Dai.
**[05:13] ---**
What is this terrible presence?!
**[05:18] ---**
*You must be Brass, the Lump Shaman.*
**[05:22] ---**
The Dark Army?! Impossible!
**[05:25] ---**
This island is protected
by Sir Avan's Magic Circle!
**[05:31] ---**
Even when Hadlar breached it,
there was a huge tremor!
**[05:36] ---**
How could anyone come in so easily?!
**[05:40] ---**
*With my Mystic Magic Power
it's mere child's play.*
**[05:47] ---**
Who are you?!
**[05:48] ---**
I am the Mystic Bishop Zaboera.
**[05:52] ---**
Legion Commander of the Mystic Legion,
**[05:53] ---**
LEGION COMMANDER OF THE MYSTIC LEGION
MYSTIC BISHOP ZABOERA
**[05:55] ---**
one of the Six Legions of the Dark Lord.
**[06:03] ---**
Gomechan!
**[06:06] ---**
Maam! Are you okay?!
**[06:08] ---**
Of course she is!
Maam's tough like a monster!
**[06:13] ---**
A monster?
**[06:14] ---**
I-I mean, she's like a saint!
**[06:16] ---**
Very good.
**[06:19] ---**
Maam, who are they?
**[06:21] ---**
They're nobody suspicious, Elder.
**[06:24] ---**
They're Heroes fighting the Dark Army.
**[06:27] ---**
They are?
**[06:29] ---**
Come to think of it, Gomechan was
the only one who never went crazy.
**[06:34] ---**
So your name's Gomechan!
I'm glad you were reunited!
**[06:39] ---**
Maybe Gomechan has some power
that blocks the Dark Lord's influence.
**[06:46] ---**
I'm just glad we're reunited.
Thank you, Maam.
**[06:49] ---**
You're welcome.
**[06:50] ---**
Maam.
**[06:51] ---**
Oh, Mom!
**[06:54] ---**
Huh?
**[06:55] ---**
Allow me to introduce my mother, Leira.
**[06:58] ---**
H-Hello.
**[06:59] ---**
Mom, these two are
Master Avan's students, too.
**[07:04] ---**
Oh, Sir Avan's?
**[07:07] ---**
You know Master Avan?
**[07:09] ---**
Of course she does.
**[07:11] ---**
Mom and my late father
fought the Dark Lord with Master Avan.
**[07:16] ---**
What?!
**[07:18] ---**
It was a long time ago.
**[07:21] ---**
My husband was a Warrior
and I was a Priest.
**[07:24] ---**
*Together, we aided Sir Avan.*
**[07:27] ---**
*After the Dark Lord was vanquished
and peace was restored,*
**[07:31] ---**
Sir Avan visited this village once.
**[07:36] ---**
That's when he tutored Maam.
**[07:40] ---**
That was four or five years ago.
**[07:43] ---**
Wow, it's already been that long.
**[07:46] ---**
So, is Sir Avan well?
**[07:49] ---**
Huh?! Uh, er...
**[07:51] ---**
He's fine!
**[07:53] ---**
He's as lively as ever!
**[07:55] ---**
*Dai...*
**[07:55] ---**
I see. That's good to hear.
**[08:00] ---**
You should stay here a while after all.
**[08:03] ---**
I'd love to hear about Master Avan.
**[08:06] ---**
Uh, we wouldn't want to intrude.
**[08:08] ---**
Good idea. Please, stay a while.
**[08:11] ---**
We really shouldn't.
**[08:13] ---**
Stay! Stay! That way
I get to play with Gomechan again!
**[08:17] ---**
I wanna play, too!
**[08:18] ---**
Me too!
**[08:19] ---**
The whole village welcomes
any student of Sir Avan.
**[08:25] ---**
Most of the men
have gone to protect Romos Castle.
**[08:29] ---**
So the rest of us
protect the village together.
**[08:34] ---**
With you in the lead.
**[08:36] ---**
My father was a Warrior and my mother
a Priest, so I guess I'm a Warrior Priest.
**[08:42] ---**
Master Avan taught me Healing and
Support-type spells and some martial arts.
**[08:48] ---**
But I can't use attack spells...
**[08:52] ---**
So he gave you the Magic Bullet Gun.
**[08:55] ---**
Yes. At my graduation.
**[08:59] ---**
I'll never forget that day.
**[09:05] ---**
What's this?
**[09:07] ---**
Your certificate of graduation.
An Insignia of Avan.
**[09:10] ---**
With this, anywhere you go,
you're officially a protector of justice.
**[09:16] ---**
And this is a present from me.
**[09:19] ---**
A present?
**[09:24] ---**
Master, what is this?!
**[09:27] ---**
A Magic Bullet Gun. A great weapon
that lets you charge and fire magic.
**[09:32] ---**
I made it based on research documents...
**[09:36] ---**
Master!
**[09:37] ---**
Huh?
**[09:38] ---**
I don't want this scary item!
**[09:42] ---**
I just want to be like Mom and Dad.
**[09:46] ---**
I just want to protect
everyone in the village!
**[09:50] ---**
That's all.
**[09:52] ---**
Maam, you truly are a gentle soul.
**[09:57] ---**
But Maam...
**[09:59] ---**
there are times when love and kindness
aren't enough to protect people.
**[10:06] ---**
Just as strength without justice
is powerless,
**[10:09] ---**
so too is justice without strength.
**[10:15] ---**
Besides, not only will this weapon
boost your attack,
**[10:20] ---**
but it can save people
with Healing and Support-type spells.
**[10:26] ---**
It's all in how you use it.
**[10:28] ---**
Don't worry.
**[10:30] ---**
In your hands, this will never
become power without justice.
**[10:39] ---**
I guarantee it.
**[10:42] ---**
Master Avan...
**[10:46] ---**
He was a little silly,
but strong and kind.
**[10:50] ---**
He truly was a wonderful teacher.
**[10:54] ---**
Oh man. I suddenly miss him.
**[11:00] ---**
*At first I thought she seemed boorish.*
**[11:07] ---**
*Now that I look at her, Maam's actually...*
**[11:15] ---**
MAGIC BULLET GUN
**[11:19] ---**
BOOM
EXPLOSION-TYPE SPELL
**[11:29] ---**
Pathetic! Disciple of Avan or not,
I let that child best me!
**[11:35] ---**
Dammit!
**[11:37] ---**
*I see you're in a bad mood, Crocodine.*
**[11:40] ---**
Who dares?!
**[11:43] ---**
*Not that I blame you.*
**[11:45] ---**
*Not after some mere children
scarred you so.*
**[11:51] ---**
Zaboera!
**[11:55] ---**
Good to see you, Beast King.
**[11:58] ---**
How did you know of my wound?!
**[12:01] ---**
The Heyedra, watchers of the battlefield,
belong to my Mystic Legion.
**[12:07] ---**
There is nothing I do not know.
**[12:13] ---**
And? Have you come to laugh at me?
**[12:16] ---**
Learning of your plight,
I've come to offer my aid.
**[12:21] ---**
You?! Offer to aid me?!
**[12:23] ---**
As a fellow Legion Commander.
**[12:30] ---**
I should go see the village elder.
**[12:33] ---**
What's wrong?
**[12:35] ---**
I need to ask him to load
these bullets with attack spells.
**[12:38] ---**
The elder is
the best spell caster in the village.
**[12:42] ---**
Huh.
**[12:44] ---**
In that case, I'll do it for you.
**[12:48] ---**
Really? Thank you!
**[12:50] ---**
Sure. Leave it to me.
**[12:52] ---**
Congratulations, Maam.
**[12:53] ---**
Popp hardly ever does anything for anyone.
**[12:57] ---**
Back me up a little, you moron!
**[13:00] ---**
Take care of that then.
I'll go prepare dinner.
**[13:10] ---**
We can't tell her that Master Avan died.
**[13:14] ---**
Yeah.
**[13:16] ---**
But Master Avan really is amazing.
**[13:21] ---**
So many people admire him.
**[13:25] ---**
Yeah.
**[13:26] ---**
I should fill these up.
**[13:29] ---**
Popp.
**[13:31] ---**
I gotta go!
**[13:33] ---**
Huh? Where?
**[13:34] ---**
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Dai!
**[13:37] ---**
What's his problem?
**[13:39] ---**
What?! You'd have me use
such a dirty tactic?!
**[13:44] ---**
There's no dirty or clean
in defeating an enemy.
**[13:48] ---**
Shut up!
**[13:49] ---**
I don't need your dirty help!
**[13:52] ---**
I'll fight him fair and square and win!
**[13:57] ---**
Are you sure?
**[13:59] ---**
That boy, Dai, cannot be underestimated.
**[14:03] ---**
Apparently he cut off Lord Hadlar's hands.
**[14:09] ---**
Besides, if you should happen to fail
**[14:13] ---**
you won't have a seat left
in the Dark Army, Crocodine.
**[14:19] ---**
Lord Hadlar may be aware of Dai's power,
**[14:22] ---**
but what will the other four
Legion Commanders say?
**[14:27] ---**
"So Crocodine, the Beast King,
**[14:29] ---**
was a fool who
couldn't even kill a child."
**[14:35] ---**
H-How dare you!
**[14:39] ---**
It's for your own good. Use this.
**[14:43] ---**
You wouldn't want to lose
your current position, would you?
**[14:50] ---**
It's to defeat Dai.
**[14:53] ---**
Take it.
**[14:59] ---**
I have a favor to ask!
**[15:01] ---**
Dai?
**[15:02] ---**
Please train me in magic!
**[15:06] ---**
I can't be saying I'm no good at spells
when fighting the Dark Army!
**[15:11] ---**
It's true that I am
the best Mage in the village,
**[15:16] ---**
but I'm not good enough
to teach a student of Sir Avan.
**[15:21] ---**
*Magic training?*
**[15:24] ---**
I was only trained by Master Avan
for three days.
**[15:29] ---**
What do you mean?
**[15:31] ---**
Elder, you can't let Maam
or her mother know.
**[15:37] ---**
Master is...
**[15:39] ---**
Master Avan...
**[15:41] ---**
died.
**[15:42] ---**
What?!
**[15:44] ---**
He was protecting us from the Dark Army.
**[15:48] ---**
I have to get stronger!
To avenge Master Avan!
**[15:52] ---**
I'm a disciple of Avan!
**[15:59] ---**
You can use this room.
**[16:01] ---**
-Okay.
-Thank you.
**[16:03] ---**
Maam's shut herself in her room.
I wonder what's wrong.
**[16:09] ---**
*Master...*
**[16:12] ---**
*Master Avan...*
**[16:14] ---**
*Master...*
**[16:22] ---**
Oh! Looking good this time!
**[16:24] ---**
Now cast it forth!
**[16:29] ---**
Frizz!
**[16:32] ---**
Another failure!
**[16:33] ---**
Not yet!
**[16:36] ---**
What?!
**[16:37] ---**
I did it!
**[16:38] ---**
He threw the fireball!
**[16:41] ---**
Well done, young Dai!
**[16:43] ---**
I did it!
**[16:45] ---**
I finally managed to do a spell on my own!
**[16:49] ---**
What does he mean?
**[16:51] ---**
Well, sometimes this mark lights up
on his forehead.
**[16:56] ---**
When it does, he gets real strong
and casts amazing spells,
**[17:01] ---**
but normally, he can't.
**[17:03] ---**
Crack!
**[17:10] ---**
He's pretty weird, huh?
**[17:14] ---**
*A mark on their forehead... A crest?*
**[17:17] ---**
*The ones who can use
any fighting skill or spell.*
**[17:21] ---**
*I've heard of such a race
of ultimate knights, but...*
**[17:26] ---**
*He couldn't be.*
**[17:28] ---**
Frizz!
**[17:33] ---**
Okay!
**[17:34] ---**
Talk about a forced spell.
You can't call that a success.
**[17:40] ---**
Now, now. It just needs to hit his target.
**[17:44] ---**
He uses ingenuity to overcome weakness.
He's a clever lad.
**[17:48] ---**
Okay. I can't get complacent!
**[17:51] ---**
Here goes, Dai!
**[17:55] ---**
Huh? You're leaving tomorrow?
**[17:57] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:58] ---**
You said you were going to
Romos Castle. What for?
**[18:01] ---**
To help the king.
**[18:03] ---**
We heard he's being
threatened by monsters.
**[18:06] ---**
I see.
**[18:09] ---**
Maam seems kind of down.
**[18:12] ---**
Listen, Dai,
why don't we tell Maam the truth?
**[18:16] ---**
Huh? We can't!
**[18:17] ---**
But she might decide to join us.
**[18:22] ---**
But Maam has her duty
to protect this village.
**[18:27] ---**
Even so...
**[18:28] ---**
I see.
**[18:29] ---**
What?
**[18:30] ---**
Popp, you like Maam, don't you?
**[18:34] ---**
W-W-What are you talking about?!
W-Why should I like her?!
**[18:39] ---**
Liar. You're always staring at her!
**[18:44] ---**
I am not! Forget it!
**[18:45] ---**
Get to sleep! Goodnight!
**[19:00] ---**
Bye-bye, Gomechan!
**[19:03] ---**
Good luck out there.
**[19:04] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:08] ---**
Bye Maam. Thanks for everything.
**[19:11] ---**
I'm sorry. I really wanted
to go with you, but...
**[19:16] ---**
That's okay. The elder gave us
a map of the forest.
**[19:20] ---**
I see.
**[19:22] ---**
Goodbye! I promise to come back!
**[19:25] ---**
And I'll come, too!
**[19:28] ---**
They're good boys.
**[19:30] ---**
So young, yet they're
standing up to the Dark Army.
**[19:36] ---**
What's wrong, Maam?
**[19:38] ---**
*They're both risking their lives
to avenge Master Avan, and yet...*
**[19:43] ---**
*I...*
**[19:45] ---**
*I...*
**[19:47] ---**
Maam, go on after them.
**[19:51] ---**
Mom?!
**[19:52] ---**
You want to help them, don't you?
**[19:56] ---**
Don't worry about us. Go on.
**[20:00] ---**
But...
**[20:02] ---**
I once left this village, too.
**[20:07] ---**
After I saw Sir Avan and your father
fighting even when they were wounded.
**[20:14] ---**
That's right.
**[20:15] ---**
You're my daughter. It's in your blood.
**[20:19] ---**
Mom...
**[20:20] ---**
Maam, don't worry about the village.
**[20:24] ---**
I still have strength in me yet.
**[20:27] ---**
That's right! Go on!
**[20:29] ---**
We'll protect the village!
**[20:32] ---**
Go help Gomechan!
**[20:36] ---**
Everyone...
**[20:39] ---**
Thank you!
**[20:43] ---**
Is it this way?
**[20:46] ---**
Or this way?
**[20:47] ---**
You're like this even with a map?!
**[20:53] ---**
Dai! Popp!
**[20:59] ---**
Maam?!
**[21:00] ---**
Why?
**[21:01] ---**
Dai! Popp! I'm coming with you!
**[21:04] ---**
Hooray!
**[21:07] ---**
Good for you, Popp.
**[21:10] ---**
W-What are you talking about?!
**[21:12] ---**
I just figured she'd be useful in a fight!
**[21:15] ---**
Dai, Popp...
**[21:18] ---**
if you're both disciples of Avan,
then I'm your senior.
**[21:24] ---**
So I'm going to carry on
Master Avan's will and fight, too.
**[21:30] ---**
Maam?
**[21:31] ---**
Did you...?
**[21:36] ---**
You can tell me on the way.
**[21:38] ---**
It's this way!
**[21:42] ---**
Come on! Hurry!
**[21:45] ---**
I think she's going to be
bossing us around.
**[21:49] ---**
That means she's reliable.
**[21:53] ---**
Let's just go!
**[22:20] ---**
*Kindness is the magic of kind people*
**[22:20] ---**

As I hesitate to even hesitate?*

*Unlike the today that I sought*

*I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment*

**[23:34] ---**
*With their new companion, Maam,
Dai and Popp reach Romos Kingdom.*

*Meanwhile, seeking revenge on Dai,
Beast King Crocodine attacks with an army.*

FURFANG FULL ASSAULT
**[01:52] ---**
Dai! Popp! I'm coming with you!
**[01:57] ---**
If you're both disciples of Avan,
then I'm your senior.
**[02:03] ---**
So I'm going to carry on
Master Avan's will and fight, too.
**[02:09] ---**
Maam?
**[02:10] ---**
Did you...?
**[02:15] ---**
You can tell me on the way.
**[02:18] ---**
I think she's going to be
bossing us around.
**[02:21] ---**
That means she's reliable.
**[02:25] ---**
Let's just go!
**[02:40] ---**
There it is! Romos Castle!
**[02:45] ---**
Okay! Romos Castle here we come!
**[02:50] ---**
Go home! The king is already asleep!
**[02:54] ---**
Come back tomorrow!
**[02:55] ---**
Oh come on! We've come all this way!
Don't be like that!
**[03:00] ---**
Sorry, but security at the castle
has been increased due to monster attacks.
**[03:07] ---**
We cannot just allow anyone
in the castle at night.
**[03:11] ---**
Listen, we happen
to know the king personally.
**[03:15] ---**
You might get chewed out later.
**[03:18] ---**
Keep up with the lies
and I'll have you thrown in prison!
**[03:21] ---**
Get lost!
**[03:24] ---**
Dammit! I was sure we'd finally get
some hospitality at the castle tonight.
**[03:29] ---**
Oh well. Let's spend tonight in an inn.
**[03:33] ---**
Oh. There.
**[03:37] ---**
Welcome. It's quite late
to be out, isn't it?
**[03:41] ---**
Um, the three of us
would like to spend the night.
**[03:43] ---**
Huh? Just you three?
**[03:46] ---**
Aren't there any adults?
**[03:48] ---**
Mister, we may not look it,
but we're fighting the Dark Army.
**[03:54] ---**
You could say we're a Hero's party.
**[03:59] ---**
That's a coincidence.
**[04:00] ---**
It just so happens there's another
Hero's party staying here.
**[04:05] ---**
Huh? A Hero?! Really?
**[04:08] ---**
There. They're staying in that room.
**[04:12] ---**
Don't, Dai! Save it for tomorrow!
**[04:14] ---**
Oh come on! I just want to say hello!
**[04:18] ---**
Sir Hero! Sir Hero!
**[04:21] ---**
What? It's late.
**[04:23] ---**
I wanted to meet you!
**[04:26] ---**
Go home!
**[04:27] ---**
We're exhausted from
battling monsters all day!
**[04:34] ---**
Can't I talk to you a little bit?!
**[04:37] ---**
No! I'll sign an autograph tomorrow!
**[04:40] ---**
What's going on? Who is that?
**[04:42] ---**
Some annoying brat.
**[04:44] ---**
I've heard that voice before.
**[04:47] ---**
Hey, Sir Hero! Sir Hero!
**[04:49] ---**
Enough! Buzz off!
**[04:54] ---**
The fake Hero!
**[04:55] ---**
Th-Th-The monster boy!
**[04:58] ---**
Huh? What?
**[05:00] ---**
What are you doing in Romos?!
**[05:05] ---**
What's going on, Dai?!
**[05:06] ---**
These guys are villains
pretending to be Heroes!
**[05:12] ---**
*They kidnapped Gomechan
and did all sorts of bad stuff!*
**[05:17] ---**
Hold on! We've washed
our hands of that stuff!
**[05:21] ---**
That's right! We paid for our sins
and are working to be true Heroes!
**[05:27] ---**
Working by doing what?
**[05:29] ---**
Well, we defeat weaker monsters
and get rewards.
**[05:34] ---**
And open leftover treasure chests
at the castles the Dark Army cleared.
**[05:38] ---**
Coaching soldiers in fighting and magic
pays pretty well, too!
**[05:44] ---**
That's right!
**[05:48] ---**
Seriously?
**[05:49] ---**
That's basically what you used to do.
**[05:53] ---**
Honestly, how can anyone who only fights
weaker monsters call themselves a Hero?
**[06:00] ---**
You're one to talk.
**[06:03] ---**
Why don't we let bygones be bygones?
**[06:15] ---**
*From here on, I must be ruthless.*
**[06:18] ---**
*The pride and honor of a warrior
are meaningless without victory.*
**[06:31] ---**
*I will use whatever method I can...*
**[06:36] ---**
and kill him!
**[06:59] ---**
Come out Dai!
**[07:01] ---**
Otherwise, Romos Kingdom falls today!
**[07:10] ---**
That voice...
**[07:19] ---**
A massive army of monsters?!
**[07:23] ---**
It must be Crocodine's Furfang Legion!
**[07:25] ---**
They're launching an all-out attack.
**[07:28] ---**
Hey! What is all that?!
**[07:30] ---**
It's the Dark Army's Furfang Legion!
**[07:33] ---**
The Furfang Legion?!
**[07:34] ---**
An army of monsters this size
has never appeared before!
**[07:41] ---**
It's Crocodine!
**[07:43] ---**
Go forth! Wipe out Romos Castle!
**[07:48] ---**
Crocodine...
**[07:49] ---**
What is that thing?!
**[07:52] ---**
He's headed for the castle!
**[08:00] ---**
Dai, wait! Dai!
**[08:15] ---**
Your Majesty!
**[08:16] ---**
What is it?!
**[08:17] ---**
It's no good! The enemy army
is overwhelming! We can't hold them!
**[08:24] ---**
Our only option is
to help you escape, Your Majesty!
**[08:27] ---**
I cannot abandon my people and flee!
**[08:30] ---**
A king's desertion is the same as defeat!
**[08:32] ---**
I may be old and weak,
but I will not turn tail and run!
**[08:37] ---**
We must fight!
**[08:38] ---**
We must hold out hope until the end!
**[08:41] ---**
The gods offer no miracles
to those who retreat!
**[08:49] ---**
Who goes there?!
**[08:51] ---**
I am Legion Commander of
the Furfang Legion of the Dark Army...
**[08:56] ---**
Crocodine!
**[08:59] ---**
Curse you!
**[09:04] ---**
King Romos, I have no interest
in your pathetic life.
**[09:10] ---**
But I need you as bait
to lure out my target!
**[09:17] ---**
We have to go after Dai!
**[09:18] ---**
Huh?! Why?!
**[09:20] ---**
Didn't you see Crocodine's eye?!
**[09:23] ---**
He intends to kill Dai for revenge!
**[09:26] ---**
We have to help!
**[09:27] ---**
Count us out.
**[09:29] ---**
Indeed.
**[09:31] ---**
What's the point in fighting someone
you know you can't beat?
**[09:35] ---**
There's no greater treasure
than one's own life after all!
**[09:40] ---**
I can agree to that.
**[09:43] ---**
Stop goofing around! Hurry!
**[09:46] ---**
But Crocodine's really strong.
**[09:49] ---**
It'll be like just going to die.
**[09:52] ---**
That's why we have to help!
Dai might get killed!
**[09:57] ---**
We all have to work together!
**[09:59] ---**
Don't worry about it.
**[10:01] ---**
Dai's super strong in a pinch.
**[10:05] ---**
He won't die.
**[10:07] ---**
Popp?
**[10:13] ---**
What's with you, Popp?!
Aren't you Dai's friend?! His companion?!
**[10:18] ---**
Don't you care about him?!
**[10:20] ---**
Lay off me! I never wanted
to fight the Dark Army in the first place!
**[10:26] ---**
I never wanted to fight!
**[10:29] ---**
I mean, I know I trained together
with Dai and all.
**[10:34] ---**
But he's the reason they keep coming.
**[10:39] ---**
I don't want to end up
dying because of him.
**[10:48] ---**
Ow...
**[10:50] ---**
Why you...!
**[10:57] ---**
Popp...
**[10:59] ---**
Didn't...
**[11:02] ---**
Didn't you learn anything
from Master Avan?!
**[11:06] ---**
I thought you and Dai
were fighting to avenge him!
**[11:11] ---**
That's why I followed you two.
**[11:16] ---**
That's why I joined you two!
**[11:20] ---**
Maam...
**[11:21] ---**
You disgust me!
**[11:35] ---**
MAGIC BULLET GUN
**[11:40] ---**
KABOOM
EXPLOSION-TYPE SPELL
**[11:53] ---**
Move!
**[11:59] ---**
Stop!
**[12:01] ---**
I'm the one you want!
**[12:02] ---**
It can't be... That boy...
**[12:04] ---**
There you are, Dai. I've been waiting.
**[12:07] ---**
*Is it really Dai? He's grown up so much!*
**[12:12] ---**
*The gods have given me a miracle
in the nick of time!*
**[12:19] ---**
Fight to your heart's content, Crocodine!
**[12:23] ---**
So long as you have that ace
up your sleeve, Dai can never win!
**[12:34] ---**
What's wrong?! Fight me!
Otherwise...!
**[12:42] ---**
Okay...
**[12:48] ---**
Frizz!
**[12:49] ---**
A spell?!
**[13:02] ---**
*In our last battle,
Dai could only use a sword.*
**[13:06] ---**
*Did he master Frizz in only a few days?!*
**[13:14] ---**
*They say it only takes three days
for someone to change,*
**[13:18] ---**
*and he really did!*
**[13:21] ---**
*If he continues to grow, he'll become
the greatest threat to the Dark Army!*
**[13:29] ---**
-Dai!
-Your Majesty!
**[13:31] ---**
Maam, cast Midheal on the king!
**[13:33] ---**
Got it!
**[13:39] ---**
That's it, Crocodine.
**[13:41] ---**
Throw away your pitiful pride and use it!
**[13:45] ---**
Master Zaboera, what sort
of secret weapon is in that box?
**[13:51] ---**
It contains that boy's greatest weakness.
**[13:56] ---**
I didn't want to use this,
but you leave me no choice.
**[14:05] ---**
That's a Magic Cylinder!
**[14:07] ---**
A Magic Cylinder?
**[14:10] ---**
*It can contain living creatures!
You can bring them in or out with a spell!*
**[14:16] ---**
So it's like the Magic Bullets
that Master Avan made?!
**[14:20] ---**
Yeah! It must contain some sort of backup!
**[14:25] ---**
Come forth! Gush!
**[14:36] ---**
Huh?! Grampa?!
**[14:44] ---**
*Brass is Dai's adoptive parent.*
**[14:47] ---**
He's a Lump Shaman.
**[14:49] ---**
If he leaves his island and falls under
the Dark King's Magic Power,
**[14:54] ---**
he instantly becomes
a vanguard for the Dark Army.
**[14:57] ---**
Now go, Lump Shaman Brass!
**[15:02] ---**
But...!
**[15:05] ---**
That monster!
**[15:07] ---**
Wait!
**[15:08] ---**
That's my Grampa!
**[15:10] ---**
What do you mean?!
**[15:11] ---**
He raised me after I washed up
on his island! He's not a bad monster!
**[15:18] ---**
Please wait!
**[15:19] ---**
*He cannot harm his adoptive parent!*
**[15:23] ---**
There's no one better to use against Dai!
**[15:32] ---**
Fuddle!
**[15:37] ---**
Hey! Are you okay?!
**[15:49] ---**
What's wrong?!
**[15:50] ---**
He had Fuddle cast on him
so he's confused!
**[15:55] ---**
Hold him!
**[15:56] ---**
Yes, Sire!
**[16:00] ---**
Let me go! Let me go!
**[16:02] ---**
Grampa, stop it!
Why are you doing this?!
**[16:13] ---**
Grampa, wake up!
Don't you recognize me?!
**[16:21] ---**
Darn it!
**[16:39] ---**
Grampa...
**[16:41] ---**
D-Dai...
**[16:44] ---**
Grampa!
**[16:48] ---**
Frizzle!
**[16:57] ---**
Lord Hadlar.
**[16:58] ---**
What is it?
**[17:00] ---**
I have word from my master,
Mystic Bishop Zaboera.
**[17:05] ---**
He is working with Commander Crocodine
of the Furfang Legion to fight Dai.
**[17:11] ---**
He says victory is at hand.
**[17:14] ---**
Understood. Leave me.
**[17:16] ---**
Yes, Lord.
**[17:18] ---**
Zaboera working together with Crocodine?
**[17:27] ---**
*Curse that Dai.*
**[17:31] ---**
*Already he's grown strong enough
that Crocodine can't handle him alone.*
**[17:36] ---**
*But I suppose there's no worry.*
**[17:39] ---**
*Not if Zaboera is lending his wisdom.*
**[17:43] ---**
*In the Dark Army,*
**[17:46] ---**
*he has the most cunning and cruel mind.*
**[17:51] ---**
*He cannot be underestimated.*
**[18:08] ---**
G-Grampa...
**[18:10] ---**
I'm fine, young lady!
**[18:12] ---**
Go help Dai!
**[18:17] ---**
This is the end!
**[18:19] ---**
Dai!
**[18:23] ---**
You again?!
**[18:25] ---**
I've got a Frizzle of my own for you!
**[18:27] ---**
Don't!
**[18:28] ---**
Dai?!
**[18:29] ---**
Maam, you'll hit Grampa!
**[18:32] ---**
But he'll kill you!
**[18:34] ---**
Please... He's the only family I've got!
**[18:39] ---**
He's...
**[18:41] ---**
my Grampa!
**[18:47] ---**
Brass, finish...
**[18:50] ---**
Crocodine!
How can you call yourself a warrior?!
**[18:54] ---**
After all that talk of pride, I thought
you'd be more honorable than that!
**[19:00] ---**
You call yourself the Beast King?!
Don't make me laugh!
**[19:03] ---**
That's right!
**[19:05] ---**
Using a hostage against a little boy?!
**[19:08] ---**
You're a disgrace of a warrior!
You should be ashamed!
**[19:12] ---**
That's right!
**[19:13] ---**
Shame on you!
**[19:14] ---**
You're no warrior!
**[19:15] ---**
Enough!
**[19:19] ---**
A warrior without an achievement
is merely a beast with no teeth!
**[19:24] ---**
Your words mean nothing!
**[19:27] ---**
I've already abandoned my pride!
**[19:33] ---**
He said it!
**[19:35] ---**
Well said, Crocodine.
**[19:38] ---**
With that attitude,
your victory is assured!
**[19:43] ---**
Impressive, Master Zaboera.
To turn a Legion Commander into a pawn.
**[19:48] ---**
Now if Crocodine wins,
your standing is sure to rise.
**[19:55] ---**
After I set all this up,
**[19:58] ---**
even a muscle-brained buffoon
like Crocodine can't lose.
**[20:07] ---**
What can we do?
**[20:09] ---**
The Magic Cylinder.
**[20:11] ---**
Huh?
**[20:14] ---**
If we can get that,
we can seal Grampa away again.
**[20:18] ---**
You keep Grampa busy.
I'll go for the Cylinder.
**[20:22] ---**
Got it.
**[20:25] ---**
Frizzle!
**[20:40] ---**
Too bad.
**[20:42] ---**
It was a good plan, but your speed
was halved with the damage from Frizzle.
**[20:51] ---**
D-Darn it!
**[20:54] ---**
It's over, Dai!
**[20:58] ---**
Dai!
**[21:01] ---**
You won't suffer long. I'll end it now...
**[21:06] ---**
with this, the Beast King Crocodine's
most powerful attack!
**[21:22] ---**
*He's gathering all of his energy...
all of his aura into his right arm!*
**[21:26] ---**
W-What is that?
**[21:28] ---**
Beast King Anguish Blast!
**[21:37] ---**
W-What's that?!
**[21:57] ---**
Victory is mine!
**[22:20] ---**
*Kindness is the magic of kind people*
**[22:20] ---**
*yasashisa wa yasashii hito ga tsukaeru mahou*
**[22:26] ---**
*Then do I have no choice
But to just be a normal person?*

*I wonder what you'd say*
**[22:53] ---**

**[22:57] ---**
*At times I can be cowardly and small*
**[22:57] ---**
*tokiyori yowaki de chippoke de*
**[23:01] ---**
*What would you say to me
As I hesitate to even hesitate?*
**[23:01] ---**
*mayou koto ni mo mayou boku ni nannte iukana*
**[23:08] ---**
*Unlike the today that I sought*
**[23:08] ---**
*sagashite ita kyou to chigatte*
**[23:14] ---**
*I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment*
**[23:14] ---**
*ochikonnde shimau boku wo warau no darou*
**[23:34] ---**
*Dai is overwhelmed by
Crocodine's incredible power.*
**[23:37] ---**
*Maam is immobilized
by the Mystic Bishop Zaboera.*
**[23:42] ---**
*The final blow bears down upon them.*
**[23:45] ---**
*Meanwhile, Popp is far
from the battlefield.*
**[23:48] ---**
*What does Popp feel
about his friends' peril?*
**[23:53] ---**

A SINGLE SHARD OF COURAGE
**[01:52] ---**
Beast King Anguish Blast!
**[02:02] ---**
Victory is mine!
**[02:06] ---**
What's that?
Could it be Dai and Maam...
**[02:10] ---**
No. It's not my concern!
**[02:12] ---**
It's not my business anymore
whether they live or die!
**[02:17] ---**
You're still here?
**[02:20] ---**
Oh, you're the Mage
from the fake Hero's party.
**[02:24] ---**
The name's Masopho.
**[02:28] ---**
You're nothing but a looter!
**[02:33] ---**
Would you like to join us?
**[02:36] ---**
You seem to have a lot of potential.
**[02:39] ---**
Don't be stupid!
I'm a student of Avan, the Hero!
**[02:43] ---**
I'm not a small-time crook like you guys!
**[02:46] ---**
Oh really?
So does the famous Avan
**[02:50] ---**
make students of people
who abandon their companions?
**[02:54] ---**
Here. Let me show you.
**[03:01] ---**
Dai?! Old man Brass?!
**[03:03] ---**
Why?!
**[03:12] ---**
So you survived.
**[03:18] ---**
Dai...
**[03:25] ---**
I'll heal you.
**[03:29] ---**
Maam!
**[03:30] ---**
It looks like they're in trouble.
**[03:33] ---**
Somebody should help them.
**[03:37] ---**
But, even if I go,
what can I do against Crocodine?
**[03:41] ---**
Dammit!
**[03:46] ---**
"A Hero is one with courage!
**[03:52] ---**
And true courage is not planned!
**[03:55] ---**
True courage does not depend
on the strength of one's foes!"
**[04:05] ---**
Like that?
**[04:06] ---**
They're not my words.
They were my master's.
**[04:09] ---**
Your master?
**[04:11] ---**
When I was young, I trained to be
a Mage to fight for justice.
**[04:18] ---**
But I couldn't hack it.
**[04:19] ---**
I would often abandon my companions
and run away from danger.
**[04:23] ---**
And just look at me now.
**[04:27] ---**
Old man...
**[04:28] ---**
Now, hurry on!
**[04:30] ---**
While there's still a single shard
of courage left within you.
**[04:40] ---**
*You disgust me!*
**[04:48] ---**
*I am disgusting!*
**[04:50] ---**
*All I do is think of myself and run away!*
**[04:55] ---**
*While Master Avan and Dai
always risked their lives to fight!*
**[05:00] ---**
Well, that kid's dead.
**[05:02] ---**
Poor thing.
**[05:04] ---**
Oh, he'll be fine.
**[05:07] ---**
That boy is a student of Avan.
**[05:10] ---**
Avan?! You mean the real Hero?!
**[05:14] ---**
He's made of different stuff than us.
**[05:25] ---**
A Heyedra.
**[05:29] ---**
Zaboera!
**[05:31] ---**
*She won't get in your way now.
Go ahead and finish Dai.*
**[05:42] ---**
Somebody...
**[05:44] ---**
save Dai...!
**[05:51] ---**
Now, it will finally end...
**[05:53] ---**
with this blow!
**[05:56] ---**
Dai!
**[05:57] ---**
Farewell!
**[05:58] ---**
Stop!
**[06:08] ---**
Popp?!
**[06:09] ---**
Ah, the Mage from before.
**[06:11] ---**
What can someone like you
possibly do by showing up now?
**[06:16] ---**
Begone!
**[06:21] ---**
*Master Avan, one fifth,
no, one tenth of what you had is enough.*
**[06:27] ---**
*Lend me your courage!*
**[06:32] ---**
How dare you!
**[06:33] ---**
What?!
**[06:35] ---**
You hurt my friends! How dare you?!
**[06:41] ---**
Boy, do you know what you're saying?
**[06:45] ---**
S-Sure!
**[06:47] ---**
I'm saying I'm going to beat you!
**[06:51] ---**
You dumb lizard!
**[06:52] ---**
Popp! Don't attack that Lump Shaman!
**[06:56] ---**
He's...
**[06:57] ---**
I know! I recognize him!
**[07:01] ---**
You kidnapped him from the island
and turned him into your servant!
**[07:05] ---**
You dirty fiends!
**[07:07] ---**
Get Crocodine's Magic Cylinder...!
**[07:10] ---**
Maam!
**[07:11] ---**
Go on and run away.
**[07:13] ---**
Compared to Dai,
you're nothing but a gutless worm!
**[07:17] ---**
Leave now and I'll spare you.
**[07:22] ---**
Screw that!
I'm never abandoning my friends!
**[07:26] ---**
Avan didn't train any cowards!
**[07:28] ---**
Popp!
**[07:30] ---**
Crocodine! Fight me one on one!
**[07:33] ---**
A puny ant like you...
**[07:35] ---**
Or are you going to use a hostage
against a gutless worm like me?!
**[07:41] ---**
What?!
**[07:42] ---**
I guess you're a worm, too!
You dumb lizard!
**[07:45] ---**
Very well! If it's death you seek, you can
go with your friends to the afterlife!
**[07:51] ---**
Brass! Stay out of this!
**[07:55] ---**
*Good. Now I can fight
without worrying about him.*
**[07:59] ---**
*Let's see if my best spell will work.*
**[08:10] ---**
Here I come!
**[08:30] ---**
You distanced yourself.
**[08:31] ---**
Unlike Heroes and Warriors, Mages like you
**[08:35] ---**
are physically no different
from normal humans.
**[08:39] ---**
One blow from me will kill you.
**[08:44] ---**
Now it depends on whether the spell
you want to cast will work!
**[08:51] ---**
See for yourself
whether it'll work or not!
**[09:01] ---**
Kafrizz!
**[09:05] ---**
Did it work?!
**[09:13] ---**
Even if you are a worm,
you're Avan's student.
**[09:16] ---**
I didn't expect
you to be able to cast Kafrizz!
**[09:20] ---**
Unfortunately...
**[09:23] ---**
I created a shield of wind
with my Vortex Axe,
**[09:27] ---**
and avoided a direct hit!
**[09:34] ---**
I hope you're ready, boy!
**[09:55] ---**
And that's that.
**[09:57] ---**
*It hurts! It hurts so bad!*
**[09:59] ---**
*I'm... done for!*
**[10:02] ---**
P-Popp...
**[10:04] ---**
Run... Popp...
**[10:07] ---**
Dai?!
**[10:09] ---**
*Don't worry, Dai.*
**[10:12] ---**
*I'm not running anymore!*
**[10:17] ---**
*You kept fighting
after taking tons of blows like this!*
**[10:27] ---**
I can't be lying down
after just one or two!
**[10:34] ---**
You can stand?!
**[10:40] ---**
*I'll just have to sacrifice myself
and do what I can!*
**[10:43] ---**
*Maybe I can't bring it
to a stalemate like Master Avan, but...*
**[10:47] ---**
*Wait... Like Master Avan?*
**[10:50] ---**
*I've never done it before,
but I'll have to try!*
**[11:05] ---**
Have you lost your mind?
**[11:15] ---**
What are you doing?
**[11:33] ---**
Why do you endure?!
**[11:35] ---**
What can you do with your rod shattered
and your Magic Power spent?!
**[11:45] ---**
What's so funny?!
**[11:47] ---**
It's all planned out.
**[11:49] ---**
Shattering my rod
and saving my Magic Power...
**[11:53] ---**
What?!
**[11:57] ---**
Watch the legendary spell
my master, Avan, excelled at!
**[12:05] ---**
A magic circle?!
**[12:07] ---**
Dark influence, begone!
**[12:10] ---**
Glimmer!
**[12:20] ---**
AVAN STRASH
**[12:25] ---**
BEAST KING ANGUISH BLAST
**[12:45] ---**
Huh? What?
**[12:47] ---**
I did... it!
**[12:49] ---**
What?!
**[12:50] ---**
Impossible!
**[12:52] ---**
Where am I?
What happened to me?
**[12:58] ---**
Old man...
**[13:00] ---**
Popp?!
**[13:01] ---**
You were under the Dark Army's control.
**[13:04] ---**
It was a dirty plot
to use you against Dai.
**[13:08] ---**
Listen, you can't leave that magic circle!
**[13:12] ---**
Use me against Dai?!
**[13:15] ---**
Did I...?!
**[13:17] ---**
Curse you!
**[13:21] ---**
What is this?!
**[13:24] ---**
You, boy!
**[13:28] ---**
What have you done?!
**[13:31] ---**
Glimmer.
**[13:33] ---**
It's a spell that creates
a magic circle that repels evil.
**[13:38] ---**
I can't cover an entire island
like Master Avan, though.
**[13:42] ---**
Fool! What point is there
in saving Brass now?
**[13:49] ---**
Look. You used a major spell
beyond your abilities and you're spent.
**[14:01] ---**
It doesn't matter.
**[14:03] ---**
Dai's still... Dai's still here.
**[14:06] ---**
Dai?!
**[14:07] ---**
If old man Brass is okay,
then Dai can fight freely.
**[14:12] ---**
He'll take care of you easily.
**[14:15] ---**
He's really strong.
**[14:19] ---**
You were willing
to sacrifice yourself for Dai?!
**[14:23] ---**
It's nothing noble like that.
**[14:26] ---**
It's not like I want to die.
**[14:30] ---**
But...
**[14:32] ---**
I've still got my pride.
**[14:35] ---**
To live on after having
abandoned my friends...
**[14:39] ---**
I just thought that would be
more pathetic than dying!
**[14:45] ---**
*Master Avan...*
**[14:47] ---**
Besides, Popp,
**[14:49] ---**
I believe the power we gain through
training should be used to help others.
**[14:55] ---**
*Master...*
**[14:57] ---**
*I think I get it now.*
**[15:00] ---**
*I'm sorry it took so long.*
**[15:03] ---**
*This fledgling of a boy
is risking his life to fight.*
**[15:08] ---**
*And yet, look at me.*
**[15:10] ---**
*I abandoned my pride out of fear
and resorted to dirty schemes.*
**[15:15] ---**
*Is this truly the right way?*
**[15:18] ---**
*What is victory worth
if it's at the cost of my pride?*
**[15:22] ---**
*Dammit, Crocodine!*
**[15:25] ---**
*What are you doing?!
Kill the boy already!*
**[15:31] ---**
*Victory is at hand!*
**[15:33] ---**
*Do you want to lose your seat as
Legion Commander over feelings of mercy?!*
**[15:46] ---**
Popp, run! Get out of here!
**[15:49] ---**
I can't even stand up.
**[15:52] ---**
Don't! Stay inside the magic circle!
**[15:56] ---**
If you step out of there,
all my hard work will be for nothing.
**[16:01] ---**
It's a tiny magic circle,
but it contains all of my Magic Power.
**[16:07] ---**
Popp...
**[16:22] ---**
Don't! Don't do it!
**[16:28] ---**
Forgive me, boy.
**[16:45] ---**
Popp!
**[16:51] ---**
What?!
**[16:55] ---**
He stands?! But Dai was all but finished!
**[16:58] ---**
And what is this light?!
**[17:01] ---**
What?!
**[17:05] ---**
It's a miracle!
**[17:07] ---**
Crocodine, you'll pay for that.
**[17:10] ---**
You used my Grampa for evil
and hurt my friends.
**[17:18] ---**
You'll pay for that!
**[17:23] ---**
What is this light?!
**[17:33] ---**
Maam!
**[17:35] ---**
What's that mark?! And this light?!
**[17:50] ---**
Come on!
**[17:51] ---**
Enough of this!
**[17:53] ---**
Take this!
**[17:57] ---**
Impossible!
**[18:12] ---**
Maam! Hang in there!
**[18:15] ---**
Popp...
**[18:16] ---**
What is that power?
**[18:18] ---**
I don't know.
**[18:20] ---**
It must be some hidden power of his.
**[18:24] ---**
I think that strange mark
responds to Dai's anger.
**[18:30] ---**
And right now, Dai is truly angry.
**[18:34] ---**
His anger is exploding
at the Dark Army's dirty schemes!
**[18:39] ---**
*Is this Dai's true power that
forced Lord Hadlar to retreat?*
**[18:45] ---**
*I can't lose here!*
**[18:47] ---**
*If I lose, what did I
throw my pride away for?*
**[18:53] ---**
I must win even if it kills me!
**[18:58] ---**
Beast King Anguish Blast!
**[19:00] ---**
Oh no! Dai's unarmed!
**[19:05] ---**
Here's a Heal. You should be able to run.
**[19:08] ---**
Help Dai!
**[19:09] ---**
Right!
**[19:17] ---**
Your body may be like steel,
**[19:21] ---**
but at close range, this will end you!
**[19:24] ---**
With my greatest, most powerful attack,
I send you to the afterlife!
**[19:28] ---**
Dai!
**[19:31] ---**
Use this!
**[19:39] ---**
Do it, Dai! The attack of our master!
**[19:46] ---**
Beast King Anguish Blast!
**[19:51] ---**
Avan Strash!
**[20:15] ---**
Avan Strash, is it?
**[20:19] ---**
An impressive attack.
**[20:21] ---**
You... win!
**[20:27] ---**
Yes!
**[20:31] ---**
If losing was my fate,
I wish I'd fought you fair and square.
**[20:36] ---**
Crocodine?
**[20:38] ---**
You, boy!
**[20:39] ---**
You taught me a lesson...
**[20:42] ---**
on how valuable pride really is.
**[20:46] ---**
If my defeat is by ones
such as you, I have no regrets.
**[20:51] ---**
In fact, I'm proud.
**[20:54] ---**
I was obsessed with victory.
**[20:57] ---**
I was a fool!
**[21:05] ---**
Farewell, Dai.
**[21:08] ---**
Don't ever lose.
**[21:10] ---**
A Hero must always be strong!
**[21:33] ---**
That idiot Crocodine. He lost.
**[21:36] ---**
*But what was that astonishing power?*
**[21:41] ---**
*And that mark?*
**[21:43] ---**
*I must inform Lord Hadlar
of the situation.*
**[21:48] ---**
*Crocodine...*
**[21:50] ---**
Dai.
**[21:51] ---**
You won!
**[22:20] ---**
*Kindness is the magic of kind people*
**[22:20] ---**
*yasashisa wa yasashii hito ga tsukaeru mahou*
**[22:26] ---**
*Then do I have no choice
But to just be a normal person?*

*At times I can be cowardly and small*

As I hesitate to even hesitate?*

*Unlike the today that I sought*

*I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment*

ONTO PAPNICA KINGDOM
**[01:51] ---**
All of you fought well.
**[01:53] ---**
Especially Dai.
This victory was thanks to you!
**[01:59] ---**
You truly have grown into one
worthy of the title "Hero."
**[02:05] ---**
From this day on,
you may call yourself, "Dai, the Hero."
**[02:10] ---**
Congratulations, Dai.
**[02:12] ---**
Your dream came true.
**[02:19] ---**
Your Majesty, it's too soon for me.
**[02:22] ---**
Huh?!
**[02:23] ---**
What are you talking about?!
**[02:28] ---**
I couldn't have won alone.
**[02:30] ---**
Popp, Maam, Gomechan, and everyone in the
castle worked together for this victory.
**[02:36] ---**
If I'm a Hero, then everyone is a Hero.
**[02:40] ---**
Dai...
**[02:42] ---**
So, until I get a little stronger
and can fight without burdening anyone,
**[02:49] ---**
please don't call me a Hero.
**[02:54] ---**
It's a little embarrassing.
**[02:55] ---**
Very well.
I look forward to your further growth.
**[03:01] ---**
Sir Brass, you truly have raised
a good boy.
**[03:04] ---**
Y-Yes. He's... He's my pride and joy.
**[03:10] ---**
Knock it off, Grampa.
That's called over-doting.
**[03:13] ---**
You imbecile! Nobody asked you!
**[03:21] ---**
These gifts are the least I can do.
**[03:25] ---**
Wear them and go show the people.
**[03:30] ---**
Everyone wants to see
the heroes who saved this country.
**[03:37] ---**
I hear he's still a small boy!
**[03:40] ---**
I'd love to catch a glimpse
of the mighty Hero!
**[03:48] ---**
Those youths are the ones who saved us!
**[03:52] ---**
Our heroes! Hurrah!
**[03:56] ---**
Man, real Heroes look so cool.
**[04:02] ---**
If you fought now, you probably won't win.
**[04:05] ---**
Sh-Shut up!
**[04:10] ---**
*It seems you're the real deal after all.*
**[04:14] ---**
*Good luck to you, boy.*
**[04:18] ---**
It feels pretty good to work hard
and have people thank you.
**[04:22] ---**
Popp, you're actually a little cool today.
**[04:28] ---**
Yay! Thank you for your cheers!
**[04:32] ---**
*Dai, listen to them cheer for you.*
**[04:37] ---**
*While you may not wish it yet,
I'm sure the people will speak of you...*
**[04:42] ---**
*as "Dai, the Tiny Hero."*
**[04:51] ---**
W-What's that?!
**[04:54] ---**
It came from the Heart Chamber!
**[04:56] ---**
The Heart Chamber?
That's where Magic Rituals are held.
**[05:04] ---**
*This is Kasizz,
the most powerful Heat-type spell.*
**[05:09] ---**
*Along with that new body of yours,*
**[05:13] ---**
*accept it as your reward for slaying Avan.*
**[05:17] ---**
Magnificent.
**[05:19] ---**
Now I have mastered both
Heat and Explosion-type spells.
**[05:28] ---**
Lord Hadlar...
**[05:31] ---**
Zaboera.
**[05:33] ---**
Use your Heyedras
and send an order to all our forces.
**[05:37] ---**
Yes, Lord!
**[05:39] ---**
Summon the remaining Legion Commanders
here at Sovereign Rock Castle!
**[05:46] ---**
*Dai, until the day the Dark King
is defeated and peace is restored,*
**[05:52] ---**
*we shall live quietly
here on Dermline Island.*
**[05:56] ---**
*So, Dai, don't worry about us.*
**[06:01] ---**
*Fight on with all your might.*
**[06:04] ---**
Woo-hoo! This is exhilarating!
**[06:08] ---**
I can't believe King Romos just casually
lent us a ship. He's so magnanimous!
**[06:14] ---**
And man, is this ship fast!
**[06:18] ---**
Right, Dai?
**[06:21] ---**
He didn't say goodbye to Brass.
**[06:25] ---**
It was too hard for him.
**[06:27] ---**
I see.
**[06:28] ---**
Well, I guess I'll just have to
cheer him up!
**[06:32] ---**
What's with the long face?!
**[06:34] ---**
I know you care about your old man,
but you don't need to worry!
**[06:38] ---**
Are you sure?
**[06:40] ---**
All we got to do is wipe out
the Dark King and your problem's solved!
**[06:45] ---**
Popp...
**[06:47] ---**
You're right. We just have to do our best!
**[06:50] ---**
Sure. It'll be fine.
You've got strong allies at your back!
**[06:55] ---**
With me here, you've got nothing to fear!
**[06:59] ---**
With that last battle,
I feel my caliber as a man,
**[07:04] ---**
or as a Mage,
really leveled up like crazy--
**[07:19] ---**
W-W-What's that?!
**[07:20] ---**
"Leveled up like crazy," huh?
**[07:22] ---**
Sorry if you were startled.
**[07:24] ---**
This ship continuously pours out
Holy Water as it sails.
**[07:28] ---**
Your average monster can't even get close.
**[07:32] ---**
Huh. That sounds lavish.
Nothing like the tub we sailed over in.
**[07:37] ---**
Indeed. You could never make it
to the Continent of Holkia with that.
**[07:42] ---**
The Continent of Holkia?
**[07:45] ---**
Let me show you on a map!
**[07:50] ---**
We're heading east, past Dermline Island,
to the Continent of Holkia.
**[07:56] ---**
Papnica is right here.
**[07:58] ---**
Huh. Dermline Island is so small.
**[08:02] ---**
But why head to Papnica?
There are other large countries.
**[08:09] ---**
Well, it's to see
his beloved princess, of course.
**[08:13] ---**
Right, Dai?
**[08:14] ---**
Th-That's not the only reason!
**[08:17] ---**
"Beloved princess"?
**[08:19] ---**
He's friends with the princess of Papnica.
**[08:24] ---**
That's why he wants to rescue her
from the Dark Army.
**[08:28] ---**
Huh. I didn't know.
**[08:30] ---**
You're quite the ladies' man.
**[08:33] ---**
I said that's not it!
**[08:35] ---**
Oh. Look at him blush.
**[08:38] ---**
I see. But the princess of Papnica, huh...
**[08:43] ---**
Huh?
**[08:44] ---**
Is there a problem?
**[08:47] ---**
The Dark Army has sent legions
to each continent for an invasion,
**[08:53] ---**
but I hear the battle in Papnica
has been the most intense.
**[08:58] ---**
From what I've heard, 15 years ago, Holkia
was the Dark Lord Hadlar's main base.
**[09:04] ---**
Hadlar's?!
**[09:05] ---**
Apparently, that's why the most
terrifying Legion of the Dark Army
**[09:10] ---**
has been sent to take
the Continent of Holkia.
**[09:13] ---**
They say, its a legion of immortals
called "the Undead."
**[09:18] ---**
A legion of immortals...
**[09:25] ---**
*Leona...*
**[09:33] ---**
*I'll be there soon! Just hold on!*
**[09:37] ---**
NORTHERN COUNTRY OF ORZAM
**[09:57] ---**
BLIZZBLAZE LEGION LEGION COMMANDER
BLIZZBLAZE GENERAL FLAZZARD
**[09:59] ---**
Frail! They're all so frail!
**[10:02] ---**
Why do humans have such fragile bodies?
**[10:07] ---**
If these are their best warriors,
then this country is all but mine!
**[10:13] ---**
Master Flazzard!
**[10:16] ---**
Master Flazzard!
**[10:18] ---**
What?!
**[10:19] ---**
We've just received a message
from a Heyedra!
**[10:22] ---**
All Legion Commanders are to gather
at Sovereign Rock Castle!
**[10:26] ---**
All of us?! What's going on?!
**[10:30] ---**
It seems a new young Hero
has risen and defeated Crocodine!
**[10:35] ---**
Crocodine?!
**[10:37] ---**
I see. So it's an emergency.
**[10:40] ---**
Fine. I'm going to Sovereign Rock Castle.
You finish off this country!
**[10:46] ---**
Yes sir!
**[10:47] ---**
Burn the villages
and put the surviving humans in ice!
**[10:52] ---**
Leave no trace of the humans,
be it house, field or even livestock!
**[10:58] ---**
Got it?!
**[10:59] ---**
Y-Yes sir!
**[11:08] ---**
AVAN STRASH
**[11:12] ---**
HELL'S CLAW
**[11:15] ---**
Blizzblaze General Flazzard has arrived!
**[11:18] ---**
Flazzard!
**[11:20] ---**
Hm? Oh, Zaboera, the geezer.
**[11:23] ---**
As fast as ever, I see.
**[11:25] ---**
You live up to your name of
"Blitz Captain of the Dark Army."
**[11:30] ---**
I heard Crocodine was defeated.
**[11:32] ---**
How pathetic. To lose to a kid.
**[11:35] ---**
No, that boy, Dai,
is not to be underestimated.
**[11:41] ---**
Oh?
**[11:42] ---**
I offered a sure-fire scheme
and he still lost.
**[11:49] ---**
He's placed in Resurrection Fluid,
but his chances are 50% at best.
**[11:54] ---**
If whoever caused this wound really is
just a kid, then he's a damn monster.
**[12:00] ---**
No one, no matter how strong, can damage
Crocodine's steel body this much.
**[12:07] ---**
He must possess more than
just physical power.
**[12:11] ---**
*Not bad, Blizzblaze General Flazzard.*
**[12:14] ---**
*Not just some hot-blooded brawler, huh?*
**[12:18] ---**
*Having both flaming brutality
and ice-cold cunningness...*
**[12:24] ---**
I concur.
**[12:26] ---**
Baran!
**[12:27] ---**
This new Hero possesses great potential.
**[12:27] ---**
DRAGON LEGION LEGION COMMANDER
DRAGON MASTER GENERAL BARAN
**[12:31] ---**
You made it.
**[12:34] ---**
My sympathies, pal.
**[12:36] ---**
Heading off to take Ringaia and then
being summoned right back.
**[12:43] ---**
Your sympathies are unnecessary.
**[12:45] ---**
I've already crushed Ringaia Kingdom.
**[12:47] ---**
-What?!
-Really?!
**[12:49] ---**
Lord Hadlar awaits
in the Left Shoulder Chamber. Come.
**[12:54] ---**
He wiped out the Fortress Kingdom
of Ringaia in such a short time?!
**[12:59] ---**
He's as powerful
as a wrathful god just as always.
**[13:03] ---**
Thank you all for coming so far.
**[13:06] ---**
*Hmm. I see Master Hadlar
has gained more power again.*
**[13:11] ---**
*It's as though power oozes from him.*
**[13:16] ---**
*It appears his seat as Dark Commander
remains secure for now.*
**[13:20] ---**
That leaves Mystvearn and Hyunckel.
**[13:23] ---**
Who the hell is late
for an emergency summons?
**[13:27] ---**
Flazzard, didn't you notice
Mystvearn is already seated?
**[13:33] ---**
SHADOW LEGION LEGION COMMANDER
MYSTVEARN, THE SHADOW VIZIER
**[13:34] ---**
You?! When the hell...?!
**[13:37] ---**
Always the unsociable one, I see.
**[13:40] ---**
That leaves Hyunckel.
**[13:42] ---**
Unfortunately, it appears
I must apologize to all of you.
**[13:48] ---**
I intended to gather our forces
and crush the new Hero, Dai.
**[13:54] ---**
But Dark King Vearn
has made a direct order.
**[14:00] ---**
He gave the task
of slaying Dai to Hyunckel.
**[14:05] ---**
What?!
**[14:09] ---**
Is this really the famous
scenic port city of Papnica?!
**[14:13] ---**
Captain, this place is dangerous!
**[14:15] ---**
Once we're off the ship,
get away from here!
**[14:18] ---**
Are you sure?
If he does that, our ride back...
**[14:22] ---**
This isn't the time
to be worried about that!
**[14:25] ---**
Hey, wait up, Dai!
**[14:31] ---**
*Please be okay, Leona!*
**[14:42] ---**
Leona!
**[14:48] ---**
Dai...
**[14:49] ---**
This is terrible. I doubt any survivors...
**[15:00] ---**
S-S-S-Skeletons!
**[15:01] ---**
This must be the immortal legion!
**[15:04] ---**
They invaded this country!
**[15:07] ---**
Calm down, Dai! We're clearly outnumbered!
**[15:13] ---**
Oh, fine then.
It looks like we have to fight!
**[15:25] ---**
Who is that?!
**[15:26] ---**
That was Avan Style
Sword Technique Earth Slash!
**[15:30] ---**
Then he's a Disciple of Avan, too?!
**[15:39] ---**
I didn't know there were other users of
the Avan Style Sword Technique.
**[15:42] ---**
If he's a Disciple of Avan,
I'm sure he'll join us!
**[15:46] ---**
Are you sure?
He's got the face of a villain.
**[15:51] ---**
Thank you for saving us!
**[15:53] ---**
Are you a student of Avan, too?!
**[15:57] ---**
Who are you?
**[16:03] ---**
It's true that
I learned to fight from Avan.
**[16:06] ---**
If I'm to be called a student of Avan,
**[16:11] ---**
then I would be the first.
**[16:14] ---**
Huh?! You're his first student?!
**[16:16] ---**
Oh wow!
**[16:18] ---**
*What a freaky sword.*
**[16:20] ---**
*I've never seen a sword
so ominous and eerie.*
**[16:24] ---**
*He's got a strange, malicious feel to him.*
**[16:27] ---**
*Is he really on our side?*
**[16:30] ---**
Tell us what happened to this country.
**[16:33] ---**
It fell to the Undead Legion
of the Dark Army two days ago.
**[16:37] ---**
The Undead Legion?!
You mean those skeletons?
**[16:39] ---**
What about Leona?!
**[16:41] ---**
Do you know what happened
to the princess of this country?
**[16:44] ---**
No idea. I was wondering that myself.
**[16:48] ---**
It's an outrage! Hyunckel?!
That little pipsqueak!
**[16:52] ---**
I never liked the fact that
even though he's just a human,
**[16:58] ---**
he was accepted as a Legion Commander!
**[17:01] ---**
Calm down, Flazzard.
You're heating the place up.
**[17:05] ---**
How am I supposed to calm down?!
**[17:07] ---**
I understand your rage.
**[17:09] ---**
But this was
our Dark King Vearn's decision.
**[17:14] ---**
I'm sure the whole thing
was Hyunckel's idea!
**[17:18] ---**
Just because the Dark King took a liking
to him, he gets all uppity! That brat...
**[17:26] ---**
*Mystvearn...*
**[17:28] ---**
*The shadow being who can remain silent
for decades at a time...*
**[17:34] ---**
*He's laughing!*
**[17:37] ---**
The Dark King's words
take precedence above all.
**[17:41] ---**
Exactly.
**[17:43] ---**
We have no choice but to obey.
**[17:47] ---**
Besides, Hyunckel
is the perfect choice for killing Dai.
**[17:53] ---**
Dai cannot defeat Hyunckel.
**[17:56] ---**
After all...
**[17:59] ---**
We were lucky to meet you here.
**[18:02] ---**
Join us and fight with us.
**[18:05] ---**
Hold it!
**[18:07] ---**
Something's off here!
**[18:09] ---**
What are you talking about, Popp?
**[18:11] ---**
Yeah. Only a student of Master Avan
could use Earth Slash, right?
**[18:16] ---**
If you're really a student of Avan,
**[18:17] ---**
then you should have
an Insignia of Avan like us.
**[18:21] ---**
An Insignia of Avan...
**[18:25] ---**
He really has one!
**[18:27] ---**
See?
**[18:28] ---**
We need all the help we can get!
**[18:31] ---**
Please, fight with us!
**[18:43] ---**
What's so funny?
**[18:46] ---**
I was just laughing
at what fools you all are.
**[18:50] ---**
What?!
**[19:04] ---**
What's the meaning of this?!
**[19:06] ---**
I told you! He's a villain after all!
**[19:10] ---**
But his Insignia of Avan...
**[19:12] ---**
It's probably a fake!
**[19:16] ---**
It's not fake.
**[19:18] ---**
Not all students of Avan
respect their teacher and love justice.
**[19:25] ---**
Some of them love violence
and have embraced the darkness.
**[19:30] ---**
After seeing just how weak...
**[19:32] ---**
justice really is!
**[19:34] ---**
But...!
**[19:36] ---**
I am Hyunckel!
**[19:38] ---**
One of the Six Legion Commanders
of the Dark Army!
**[19:38] ---**
UNDEAD LEGION LEGION COMMANDER
HYUNCKEL, THE DARK SWORDSMAN
**[19:41] ---**
Hyunckel, the Undead Legion Commander!
**[19:44] ---**
But... How could a student of Master Avan
be a Legion Commander of the Dark Army?!
**[19:49] ---**
Dammit!
**[19:50] ---**
Frizz!
**[19:52] ---**
These are resurrected corpse warriors
who have surpassed death!
**[19:56] ---**
They will not stop their advance
unless pulverized!
**[20:00] ---**
Wait Hyunckel! Haven't you heard?!
**[20:03] ---**
Master Avan...
**[20:04] ---**
Master Avan was killed! By the Dark Army!
**[20:07] ---**
Yes. I heard about it.
**[20:10] ---**
I heard Hadlar killed him.
**[20:12] ---**
And yet you still fight
for the Dark Army?!
**[20:16] ---**
It was quite a shock.
**[20:19] ---**
He was killed by an enemy
he once defeated!
**[20:23] ---**
That's what he gets for taking on students
while neglecting his own training.
**[20:29] ---**
I was hoping to kill him myself.
**[20:33] ---**
Such a shame.
**[20:35] ---**
I asked Vearn, the Dark King,
to let me wipe out his students,
**[20:41] ---**
but to run into weaklings like you
is such a disappointment.
**[20:49] ---**
Earth Slash...
**[20:51] ---**
Don't disrespect Master Avan any more!
**[20:53] ---**
I won't forgive anyone
who talks like that! Take it back!
**[20:57] ---**
Oh? Interesting.
**[21:00] ---**
And what if I say I won't?
**[21:03] ---**
I'll do this!
**[21:05] ---**
He blocked Earth Slash!
**[21:09] ---**
Reexamine your skills
before your run your mouth, boy!
**[21:14] ---**
Darn it!
**[21:16] ---**
How about this?!
**[21:17] ---**
Avan Style Sword Technique Wave Slash!
**[21:27] ---**
Oh no! Hyunckel's sword beats Dai's
in both strength and skill!
**[21:35] ---**
I know all about
the Avan Style Sword Technique.
**[21:39] ---**
Dodging someone of your skill is easy.
**[21:43] ---**
It's not over!
**[21:44] ---**
That stance...!
**[21:45] ---**
Avan Strash!
**[22:20] ---**
*yasashisa wa yasashii hito ga tsukaeru mahou*
**[22:20] ---**
*Kindness is the magic of kind people*
**[22:26] ---**

*Then do I have no choice

*I will never change those I protect*
**[22:53] ---**

**[22:53] ---**
*I wonder what you'd say*
**[22:57] ---**
*tokiyori yowaki de chippoke de*
**[22:57] ---**
*At times I can be cowardly and small*
**[23:01] ---**
*mayou koto ni mo mayou boku ni nannte iukana*
**[23:01] ---**
*What would you say to me
As I hesitate to even hesitate?*
**[23:08] ---**
*sagashite ita kyou to chigatte*
**[23:08] ---**
*Unlike the today that I sought*
**[23:14] ---**
*ochikonnde shimau boku wo warau no darou*
**[23:14] ---**
*I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment*
**[23:34] ---**
*Dai's Avan Strash had no effect.*
**[23:37] ---**
*Hyunckel dons the ultimate armour
and fights with his Dark Sword.*
**[23:41] ---**
*His heart overflows with intense hatred.*
**[23:45] ---**
*Eventually, Avan and Hyunckel's past
is revealed.*
**[23:48] ---**
*Can Dai defeat Hyunckel?*
**[23:52] ---**
*Next time on*
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,*
**[23:56] ---**
*"Hyunckel, the Dark Swordsman"*
**[23:58] ---**
*The adventure continues!*

HYUNCKEL, THE DARK SWORDSMAN
**[01:53] ---**
It's not over!
**[01:54] ---**
That stance...!
**[01:55] ---**
Avan Strash!
**[02:05] ---**
You call this Avan Strash?
Don't make me laugh!
**[02:08] ---**
That was just a cheap imitation!
**[02:11] ---**
You know the lesson, "Slice the earth,
slice the sea, slice the air.
**[02:17] ---**
And what slices everything
is Avan Strash."
**[02:20] ---**
Fighting you, I could tell you haven't
mastered the Avan Style Sword Technique!
**[02:26] ---**
In other words,
the third skill, Air Slash!
**[02:30] ---**
Air Slash?!
**[02:33] ---**
*That's right...*
**[02:34] ---**
*Dai...*
**[02:36] ---**
Even if you complete
the Special Hard Course,
**[02:40] ---**
you'll probably learn Air Slash
on the seventh day.
**[02:42] ---**
The last?
**[02:43] ---**
Yes. It's that difficult
of a skill to learn.
**[02:48] ---**
*But I only trained
with Master Avan for three days.*
**[02:53] ---**
Even I can't use Air Slash.
**[02:56] ---**
It's the greatest
Avan Style Sword Technique.
**[02:59] ---**
When Earth, Wave, and Air are mastered,
**[03:04] ---**
Avan Strash shows its true ultimate power!
**[03:07] ---**
Basically, your attack now
is merely an incomplete imitation!
**[03:12] ---**
Even I can use an imitation like that!
**[03:16] ---**
Avan Strash!
**[03:23] ---**
Dai!
**[03:28] ---**
So you two are up next?
**[03:31] ---**
We won't let you use
Master Avan's skills for evil!
**[03:34] ---**
Three against one...
**[03:36] ---**
Then I'll have to use my secret weapon.
**[03:41] ---**
As a warrior, I can't use spells.
**[03:44] ---**
So Vearn, the Dark King,
gave me the ultimate armour.
**[03:49] ---**
A supreme armour that can repel
any and all attack spells!
**[03:54] ---**
When I don it, I become unbeatable!
**[03:57] ---**
A supreme armour?
I don't see any armour anywhere!
**[04:01] ---**
Look closely. It's right in front of you!
**[04:05] ---**
Amdo!
**[04:25] ---**
His sword is his armour?!
**[04:27] ---**
That's right. This Dark Armour Blade
is both the ultimate weapon
**[04:32] ---**
and the ultimate armour!
**[04:35] ---**
H-He's bluffing! Let's go!
**[04:39] ---**
Frizzle!
**[04:47] ---**
It's not working!
**[04:49] ---**
How about this?!
**[04:50] ---**
Sizz!
**[04:58] ---**
Dammit!
**[05:04] ---**
Popp!
**[05:06] ---**
Dammit! I just learned that spell!
**[05:10] ---**
Now do you see why I'm unbeatable?
**[05:13] ---**
This armour is impervious
to all attack spells.
**[05:17] ---**
And no one in the world
can best me at sword fighting.
**[05:24] ---**
Don't. I won't fight a woman.
**[05:27] ---**
Don't underestimate me!
Even women can risk their lives in battle!
**[05:31] ---**
Even more so, if it's for justice!
**[05:34] ---**
A likely lesson from Avan.
**[05:37] ---**
You learned it too, didn't you?!
**[05:39] ---**
Master Avan would never grant
an Insignia of Avan to someone unworthy!
**[05:44] ---**
I know that deep down...
**[05:47] ---**
This?
**[05:52] ---**
How could you?!
**[05:54] ---**
I don't need it.
**[05:55] ---**
I only carried it around
to find Avan or his students...
**[06:02] ---**
so I could kill them myself!
**[06:06] ---**
Why?! Why do you hate him so much?!
**[06:09] ---**
Because Avan is my father's killer!
**[06:13] ---**
His killer?!
**[06:17] ---**
This continent of Holkia
was once the Dark Lord Hadlar's base.
**[06:22] ---**
*The old Dark Army razed towns
and was the cause of many casualties.*
**[06:36] ---**
Poor thing...
**[06:37] ---**
*That child was me.*
**[06:39] ---**
*I was raised in Hadlar's Underground
Palace by the Hell Knight Bartos.*
**[06:45] ---**
*The only reason he was allowed to
raise a human child was because*
**[06:49] ---**
*Bartos was the strongest knight
in the Dark Army.*
**[06:52] ---**
*And he was the guardian of the Hell Gate
which led to Hadlar's chambers.*
**[06:58] ---**
I shall name you Hyunckel
**[07:01] ---**
after a legendary swordsman
who once ruled the Underworld.
**[07:09] ---**
*I couldn't leave the Palace,
but I grew up without questioning it.*
**[07:17] ---**
Ta-da!
**[07:18] ---**
Is this for me?
**[07:19] ---**
Yeah!
**[07:25] ---**
*As my father, Bartos was
the first man to teach me warmth.*
**[07:32] ---**
*He's just like me...*
**[07:34] ---**
But one day...
**[07:37] ---**
Sir Bartos! The Hero is attacking!
**[07:40] ---**
He's finally come!
**[07:44] ---**
Hyunckel, as guardian of the Dark Lord,
I must fight the Heroes.
**[07:50] ---**
It's possible I may die.
**[07:52] ---**
Dad...!
**[07:55] ---**
You mustn't leave this place!
**[07:57] ---**
Should I die,
I hope you'll grow up strong!
**[08:01] ---**
Dad!
**[08:03] ---**
Dad!
**[08:16] ---**
*With the Dark Lord's death cry,
all fell silent.*
**[08:23] ---**
Dad!
**[08:30] ---**
Dad?!
**[08:32] ---**
Dad!
**[08:38] ---**
*The Undead, unlike other monsters,*
**[08:41] ---**
*cannot maintain themselves
without the Dark Lord's power.*
**[08:44] ---**
*With Hadlar's death,
and the loss of his Dark Power,*
**[08:48] ---**
*my father...*
**[08:50] ---**
H-Hyunckel...
**[08:57] ---**
Dad!
**[09:00] ---**
Hyunckel... thank you for the memories...
**[09:08] ---**
*He crumbled to ashes.*
**[09:12] ---**
Dad!
**[09:18] ---**
*It's ironic.*
**[09:20] ---**
*The man who happened to find me was Avan.*
**[09:24] ---**
You are...?
**[09:28] ---**
Hyunckel.
**[09:29] ---**
*He had no way of knowing who I was.*
**[09:33] ---**
*He must have assumed I was a boy
kidnapped by monsters.*
**[09:37] ---**
*But I knew immediately that
he was the Hero, and my father's killer.*
**[09:45] ---**
At that moment, I swore
that I'd gain strength and kill him!
**[09:52] ---**
That's why I became Avan's student
and learned to fight.
**[09:55] ---**
So that I could kill him
with what he taught me!
**[09:58] ---**
Stop it!
**[10:01] ---**
I know how you feel, but Master Avan...
**[10:04] ---**
"Was just fighting for justice"?!
**[10:08] ---**
Justice or not, it doesn't change
the fact that he took my father's life!
**[10:15] ---**
My father died as ashes.
**[10:17] ---**
If that is justice...
**[10:20] ---**
then justice itself is my enemy!
**[10:25] ---**
Now to finish you off...
**[10:26] ---**
My own special attack
that I intended to use on Avan!
**[10:32] ---**
A sword from his helmet?!
**[10:36] ---**
Take this!
**[10:38] ---**
Look out!
**[10:42] ---**
Dai! Popp!
**[10:48] ---**
This is the attack I developed to defeat
the Avan Style Sword Technique...
**[10:54] ---**
Bloody Scryde!
**[10:58] ---**
Hyunckel, you've gained the skills
of a full-fledged warrior.
**[11:04] ---**
And so, I present you with this.
**[11:09] ---**
This is...?
**[11:10] ---**
Consider it a certificate of graduation.
**[11:13] ---**
But you're far from
being a complete warrior.
**[11:17] ---**
Your blade seems to have
a strange malice or animosity to it.
**[11:23] ---**
Master...
**[11:25] ---**
Yes?
**[11:26] ---**
Do you know a man named Bartos?
**[11:30] ---**
Hyunckel?
**[11:31] ---**
Bartos was the strongest knight
of the Dark Army...
**[11:35] ---**
and my father!
**[11:38] ---**
The malice you sense in my blade is
my hatred towards you, my father's killer!
**[11:45] ---**
Wait, Hyunckel!
**[11:53] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[11:55] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[12:00] ---**
*What have I done?
I instinctively fought back!*
**[12:04] ---**
*But if I hadn't,
I'm sure he would have killed me.*
**[12:09] ---**
*What talent with a blade!
It was like a demon's sword!*
**[12:14] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[12:16] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[12:29] ---**
Avan...!
**[12:30] ---**
*I failed, but I was rescued
by the Dark King's trusted servant,*
**[12:34] ---**
*Mystvearn, the Shadow Vizier,
and survived.*
**[12:39] ---**
Since then, I've continued to train
as a warrior of the Dark Army.
**[12:45] ---**
This attack now far surpasses
the power of Avan Strash!
**[12:49] ---**
Your ill-advised dodging
has only increased your suffering.
**[12:54] ---**
Let me end it for you!
**[13:00] ---**
MAGIC BULLET GUN
**[13:05] ---**
KABOOM
EXPLOSION-TYPE SPELL
**[13:09] ---**
*He's strong!
Stronger than anyone we've faced before!*
**[13:13] ---**
*Is he really unbeatable?!*
**[13:16] ---**
*No. That's impossible!*
**[13:18] ---**
*Everyone has a weakness,
no matter how strong!*
**[13:25] ---**
Give it up.
**[13:27] ---**
No, I'll never give up!
**[13:29] ---**
Even if that bullet contains
a Kasizz or Kaboom,
**[13:34] ---**
you won't be able to scratch my armour.
**[13:37] ---**
We'll see. You never know unless you try!
**[13:45] ---**
Is this Dazzle?!
**[13:49] ---**
Curse your foolish games.
**[14:02] ---**
If I use my inner eye to sense
your presence, your Dazzle is useless.
**[14:08] ---**
Maam!
**[14:13] ---**
*Right there! If I can hit him there,
an attack spell should work!*
**[14:18] ---**
It's all or nothing!
**[14:21] ---**
Frizz!
**[14:26] ---**
He dodged it!
**[14:30] ---**
You brat!
**[14:31] ---**
Look out! Run!
**[14:35] ---**
Frizz!
**[14:39] ---**
Wave Slash?!
**[14:47] ---**
You have no power,
yet you insist on troubling me!
**[14:50] ---**
Darn it!
**[14:57] ---**
You have spirit.
That much is worth praise.
**[15:02] ---**
*Is Dai really no match for him?!*
**[15:05] ---**
*Sure he's a great swordsman,
but Dai's beaten Hadlar and Crocodine!*
**[15:12] ---**
*I know! It's that mark!*
**[15:15] ---**
*That mark has always allowed Dai
to use extraordinary power!*
**[15:23] ---**
Dai! Use that power!
Use the power of that mark!
**[15:29] ---**
What are you babbling about now?
**[15:32] ---**
What's wrong, Dai?!
Get mad! Get mad and fight!
**[15:37] ---**
Why won't you get mad, Dai?!
**[15:42] ---**
*My father died as ashes.*
**[15:44] ---**
*If that is justice...*
**[15:47] ---**
*then justice itself is my enemy!*
**[15:51] ---**
Dai!
**[15:52] ---**
This should keep you from using
your bothersome tricks.
**[16:02] ---**
What's that?!
**[16:07] ---**
Dark Puppetry Aura Hand!
**[16:09] ---**
This skill uses Dark Aura
to bind an opponent!
**[16:14] ---**
Normally, it's used to control corpses.
**[16:17] ---**
Darn it!
**[16:18] ---**
And now, you're nothing but my puppet.
**[16:22] ---**
Dai!
**[16:23] ---**
This is the end!
**[16:27] ---**
Die!
**[16:29] ---**
Bloody Scryde!
**[16:34] ---**
What?!
**[16:37] ---**
Impossible!
**[16:39] ---**
Yo, Hyunckel.
**[16:41] ---**
Beast King Crocodine?!
**[16:46] ---**
Crocodine...
**[16:47] ---**
You survived?!
**[16:49] ---**
What is the meaning of this?!
**[16:51] ---**
Exactly what it looks like.
**[16:53] ---**
I won't let you kill Dai!
**[17:01] ---**
You there, boy!
**[17:02] ---**
Yessir! What?!
**[17:04] ---**
Take Dai and escape with that Garuda!
**[17:06] ---**
Huh?!
**[17:09] ---**
You're still too weak to defeat Hyunckel!
You have to escape!
**[17:13] ---**
But...
**[17:14] ---**
Some monsters will only obey
my direct commands.
**[17:19] ---**
That Garuda is one of them.
**[17:21] ---**
But Maam...
**[17:24] ---**
Don't worry.
**[17:26] ---**
Hyunckel isn't the type
to kill a girl, no matter the situation.
**[17:32] ---**
I'll do something about the girl!
**[17:34] ---**
Right now, you must escape with Dai!
**[17:37] ---**
Do you think I'll just let that happen?!
**[17:40] ---**
I'm still one of the Six
Legion Commanders of the Dark Army.
**[17:43] ---**
I can take you down with me if I have to!
**[17:46] ---**
You can't.
**[17:47] ---**
You don't have the strength right now!
**[17:53] ---**
I knew it.
**[17:55] ---**
Your armour may be
brand new, but I can tell.
**[17:59] ---**
Your wounds from your previous battle
haven't fully healed.
**[18:04] ---**
Your steel hide is nothing more
than a cracked shield right now!
**[18:09] ---**
Crocodine!
**[18:15] ---**
No!
**[18:17] ---**
Let go!
**[18:19] ---**
Not even if it kills me!
**[18:26] ---**
Wait! Maam's still...!
**[18:29] ---**
Let me go!
**[18:30] ---**
Crocodine!
**[18:32] ---**
Of the Six Legion Commanders,
**[18:35] ---**
I believed that at least you
and Baran were worth respecting!
**[18:40] ---**
How disappointing
that you'd submit to a brat!
**[18:44] ---**
I merely couldn't stand seeing someone
who beat me lose to someone else.
**[18:51] ---**
The argument of the defeated.
How the Beast King has fallen.
**[18:55] ---**
If you won't move,
I'll just have to run you through!
**[19:02] ---**
So be it!
**[19:04] ---**
Why would someone like you
care so much about them?!
**[19:09] ---**
They're enemies of our Dark Army!
**[19:12] ---**
"Our Dark Army..."
**[19:15] ---**
What's so funny!
**[19:17] ---**
It never seemed like you were
fighting for the Dark Army.
**[19:23] ---**
You always looked like you were
fighting out of hatred for humans.
**[19:30] ---**
I was the same.
**[19:32] ---**
*I looked down on humans.*
**[19:35] ---**
*I thought they were puny,
pathetic creatures.*
**[19:40] ---**
*But fighting Dai and his friends
made me realize...*
**[19:43] ---**
*humans are strong
and compassionate creatures!*
**[19:48] ---**
*They can work together
and can share in joy and sadness!*
**[19:54] ---**
*They're not like us monsters,
who are alone in our strength!*
**[19:58] ---**
Shut up! Enough of your nonsense!
**[20:00] ---**
There's no way a human like you
can't realize their greatness!
**[20:06] ---**
Don't you see
that you're lying to yourself?!
**[20:10] ---**
That's enough!
**[20:24] ---**
*Tears?!*
**[20:32] ---**
Hyunckel... it's good to be a human.
**[20:36] ---**
When I'm reborn again,
I hope it's as... a human...
**[20:44] ---**
Crocodine...
**[20:49] ---**
Moruge.
**[20:50] ---**
Is there a problem, Sir Hyunckel?
**[20:54] ---**
Oh my! Isn't that...?!
**[20:56] ---**
Tend to his wounds.
**[20:58] ---**
Sir, I don't see
how he's going to survive.
**[21:01] ---**
It doesn't matter. Consider it mercy.
**[21:04] ---**
And take this woman
to the Underground Palace.
**[21:07] ---**
Huh? Who is she?
**[21:09] ---**
A hostage. Throw her in a cell.
**[21:12] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[21:15] ---**
*So long as I have her,
they're sure to come rescue her.*
**[21:20] ---**
*When they do, I'll finish them!*
**[21:27] ---**
You're awake, Dai!
**[21:29] ---**
Popp! Where are we?! Where's Hyunckel?!
**[21:34] ---**
He beat us.
The two of us managed to escape.
**[21:38] ---**
Where's Maam?!
**[21:40] ---**
Hopefully, she's okay.
**[21:45] ---**
Our pursuers found us already?!
**[21:48] ---**
Hey! Are you hurt?!
**[21:52] ---**
You wouldn't happen to be Dai, would you?
**[21:55] ---**
How does he know my name?
**[21:57] ---**
Who are you?!
**[22:20] ---**

As I hesitate to even hesitate?*

**[23:08] ---**
*Unlike the today that I sought*
**[23:14] ---**
*ochikonnde shimau boku wo warau no darou*
**[23:14] ---**
*I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment*
**[23:34] ---**
*The difference
in their strengths was clear.*
**[23:37] ---**
*Thanks to Crocodine's sacrifice,
Dai and Popp managed to escape.*
**[23:41] ---**
*They begin to form a plan to counter
Hyunckel's overwhelming strength.*

THE COLLABORATIVE ZAPPLE
**[01:56] ---**
I...
**[01:58] ---**
W-What is this?!
**[02:02] ---**
L-Let go!
**[02:03] ---**
Now, now, little girl.
I wouldn't struggle if I were you.
**[02:09] ---**
Huh?!
**[02:10] ---**
This is the Underground Palace
of the Undead Legion.
**[02:15] ---**
We're heading for the entrance
down an extinct volcano.
**[02:18] ---**
One wrong move and down you go
into the abyss.
**[02:22] ---**
We've imprisoned the girl in a cell.
**[02:26] ---**
Good work.
**[02:27] ---**
And a message just arrived from a Heyedra.
**[02:31] ---**
Hadlar, the Dark Commander,
will be here shortly.
**[02:35] ---**
Hadlar?
**[02:40] ---**
My name is Baduck.
I'm a swordsman for Princess Leona.
**[02:45] ---**
For Leona?!
**[02:46] ---**
Well, I'm just
a wandering soldier for now.
**[02:48] ---**
Is Princess Leona safe?!
**[02:50] ---**
Of course!
**[02:52] ---**
The Princess always said,
**[02:54] ---**
"We can win once Dai comes.
Everyone hold out until then!"
**[02:59] ---**
Huh?
**[03:02] ---**
So where's the Princess now?
**[03:07] ---**
I was separated from everybody when
the Undead Legion destroyed the temple.
**[03:13] ---**
I see.
**[03:15] ---**
But, the three most powerful Sages
in Papnica are always with her.
**[03:21] ---**
I'm sure they're alive
out there somewhere.
**[03:26] ---**
We got split up with Gomechan,
so I guess it's just us now.
**[03:31] ---**
That old man's going to be disappointed
when he hears Hyunckel kicked our butts.
**[03:38] ---**
Why didn't you use
the power of your mark back there?
**[03:44] ---**
Listening to Hyunckel,
I understood how he felt.
**[03:49] ---**
You understood?
**[03:51] ---**
I was raised by monsters, too.
**[03:55] ---**
If somebody ever killed Grampa Brass,
I'd probably hate them.
**[04:01] ---**
I couldn't get mad
when I thought about that.
**[04:04] ---**
You moron! If we don't beat him,
we can't save Maam or the Princess!
**[04:11] ---**
We fight! Once more, together!
**[04:16] ---**
The Underground Palace.
It's been 15 years.
**[04:19] ---**
So this place used to be your home castle?
**[04:23] ---**
Yes.
**[04:24] ---**
Well, well, Sir Dark Commander.
I see you're doing quite well.
**[04:31] ---**
To what do I owe this visit?
**[04:35] ---**
Call it a battlefield inspection.
**[04:37] ---**
I know the Dark King ordered you
to kill Dai, but I had my concerns.
**[04:45] ---**
Your concerns are unnecessary.
**[04:48] ---**
I've already fought him. He was nothing.
**[04:52] ---**
Next time, I'll kill him for sure.
**[04:55] ---**
Strength-wise, an obvious result.
**[04:58] ---**
However, you're a human,
and a former student of Avan.
**[05:03] ---**
Flazzard voiced his doubts
that you might somehow fail.
**[05:11] ---**
Just let the stupid general whine.
**[05:14] ---**
How dare you!
**[05:16] ---**
Listen! My orders come directly
from Vearn, the Dark King, himself!
**[05:22] ---**
No one, no matter who, may question them!
**[05:27] ---**
Very well.
**[05:29] ---**
Just one more thing.
**[05:33] ---**
Has Crocodine shown up recently?
**[05:35] ---**
He left his tank of Resurrection Fluid
before he was fully healed.
**[05:40] ---**
I thought he might have gone after Dai.
**[05:44] ---**
I haven't seen him.
**[05:45] ---**
I see. Very well.
**[05:48] ---**
Why don't you stay a while
and look around?
**[05:51] ---**
Revel in the memories
of the rise and fall of an empire.
**[05:57] ---**
*"Dark Commander." Hah!*
**[05:59] ---**
*If you'd been strong enough,
my father wouldn't have died.*
**[06:05] ---**
*Just wait and I'll show you
just how weak you really are.*
**[06:10] ---**
That insolent brat!
**[06:13] ---**
What does Dark King Vearn even see in him?
**[06:18] ---**
Perhaps he picked him on whim.
Or perhaps...
**[06:23] ---**
*It was back when Dark King Vearn
chose the Six Legion Commanders.*
**[06:28] ---**
My Dark King, I cannot agree
with making Hyunckel a Legion Commander!
**[06:34] ---**
He is a human! And a student of Avan!
**[06:38] ---**
Hyunckel learned from Avan
in order to kill him.
**[06:43] ---**
Quite audacious, wouldn't you say?
**[06:46] ---**
Furthermore, should something happen to
my power, the Undead Legion will suffer.
**[06:52] ---**
A living human is the best candidate
to comfortably control the Legion.
**[06:57] ---**
Why do you favor him so much?
**[07:01] ---**
It's his eyes.
**[07:02] ---**
His eyes?
**[07:03] ---**
Those eyes are magnificent.
**[07:05] ---**
Eyes that curse all around them
and burn with aggravated rage.
**[07:10] ---**
They are what I seek.
Truly the eyes of an Underworld warrior.
**[07:20] ---**
Dark King Vearn is great,
but his motives can be unfathomable.
**[07:26] ---**
Regardless, if Dai is killed, so be it.
**[07:30] ---**
If Hyunckel fails,
it gives us reason to punish him.
**[07:37] ---**
Ah, good morning, Dai!
**[07:40] ---**
Oh. Good morning.
**[07:43] ---**
This is my old Chain Mail,
but it's still usable.
**[07:49] ---**
Thank you.
**[07:50] ---**
Say, have you seen Popp anywhere?
**[07:53] ---**
Hm? I saw him in the forest earlier.
**[07:56] ---**
That's strange.
He never wakes up before me.
**[08:16] ---**
Popp!
**[08:17] ---**
What's going on?
**[08:19] ---**
What does it look like?
I just bound with a new spell.
**[08:23] ---**
A new spell?
**[08:25] ---**
We can't beat him by sword.
So we'll have to beat him by magic!
**[08:29] ---**
Did you forget? His armour repels magic.
**[08:34] ---**
Dai, you know the Weather-type spell,
Climatise, right?
**[08:38] ---**
Uh, wait, what is it?
**[08:40] ---**
I just bound with the spell that
summons lightning clouds, Reclimatise.
**[08:46] ---**
It's the most basic
of the spells that control weather.
**[08:54] ---**
I've been thinking all night
for a spell that might work on Hyunckel.
**[09:01] ---**
And I found one! An attack spell
that's guaranteed to hurt him!
**[09:08] ---**
Zapple!
**[09:10] ---**
Zapple?
**[09:11] ---**
Right!
**[09:12] ---**
His armour repels all spells,
but it still has to be made of metal.
**[09:19] ---**
That means, the shock
from a Electric-type spell
**[09:22] ---**
should penetrate his armour
and damage him directly!
**[09:27] ---**
But Zapple is a spell only a Hero can use.
**[09:31] ---**
You can't use it, and I...
**[09:34] ---**
That's why we do it together!
**[09:36] ---**
Huh?!
**[09:37] ---**
Zapple summons lightning clouds
and strikes enemies with lightning.
**[09:42] ---**
So if I summon the clouds with my spell,
**[09:46] ---**
even your Magic Power should be enough
to drop a lightning bolt!
**[09:50] ---**
Oh!
**[09:51] ---**
I see!
**[09:52] ---**
We combine our spells,
defeat him, and save Maam!
**[09:58] ---**
Got it! Let's try it out!
**[10:05] ---**
Spirits scattered in the heavens,
hear my voice!
**[10:13] ---**
Reclimatise!
**[10:21] ---**
*Maybe this spell
was a little too advanced for me.*
**[10:33] ---**
D-Do it, Dai!
**[10:39] ---**
Zapple!
**[10:42] ---**
It worked! I did it!
**[10:44] ---**
Y-You dummy! Look closer!
**[10:47] ---**
Huh?
**[10:49] ---**
You've already got the clouds,
so of course it worked!
**[10:53] ---**
What's the point if you miss?!
Do it again!
**[11:02] ---**
Open it.
**[11:09] ---**
Don't worry.
You're just bait to lure in Dai.
**[11:13] ---**
Once I'm finished, you can go.
**[11:15] ---**
Huh? You won't kill me?
**[11:17] ---**
I won't kill a girl.
Even if she's an enemy.
**[11:20] ---**
It's the basic code of a warrior
my father taught me.
**[11:26] ---**
My father was the model warrior.
I still believe that.
**[11:33] ---**
You respected your father.
**[11:35] ---**
Of course.
**[11:38] ---**
That's why you hate Master Avan
for taking his life.
**[11:42] ---**
That's right!
**[11:44] ---**
How could I forgive Avan for killing him
for that justice and peace nonsense?!
**[11:54] ---**
Hyunckel, you poor soul.
**[11:57] ---**
Your pain of losing your father
was so great, you had to blame someone.
**[12:03] ---**
But that doesn't mean
you should hate justice!
**[12:06] ---**
That wouldn't make your father happy!
**[12:10] ---**
He was in the Dark Army, but your father
was a good, honorable man, wasn't he?
**[12:17] ---**
Quiet!
**[12:19] ---**
Open your eyes, Hyunckel!
You're a better man than that!
**[12:24] ---**
You're not a weakling who would vent
his anger on others out of sorrow!
**[12:32] ---**
Shut up!
**[12:40] ---**
Hyunckel...
**[12:45] ---**
Zapple!
**[12:51] ---**
Those kids have been going at it
for half a day. Just how tough are they?
**[12:55] ---**
Dai, a little more!
**[12:59] ---**
Zapple!
**[13:03] ---**
Good! You're starting to hit it!
**[13:07] ---**
*I struck a defenseless girl.*
**[13:11] ---**
*But, when I look into her eyes,
I find I can't rebut her.*
**[13:20] ---**
You're still here?!
**[13:22] ---**
You seem quite taken by that girl.
**[13:26] ---**
With one spell,
I could make her fall in love with you.
**[13:30] ---**
You may be strong,
but you lack experience in...
**[13:34] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[13:36] ---**
You parasite!
You shame of the Six Legion Commanders!
**[13:39] ---**
Begone from here!
**[13:44] ---**
You'll regret that!
**[13:46] ---**
Crocodine lost because
he didn't listen to me!
**[13:51] ---**
Wrong.
**[13:52] ---**
I bet he lost because
you put stupid ideas in his head!
**[13:57] ---**
Y-You'll pay for that!
**[13:59] ---**
*I no longer have ears for anyone.*
**[14:02] ---**
*I will fight as I see fit!*
**[14:09] ---**
Zapple!
**[14:15] ---**
Good! One more!
**[14:18] ---**
Zapple!
**[14:31] ---**
Okay, this is good!
Now we can go save Maam!
**[14:35] ---**
Yeah!
**[14:39] ---**
Hey! Come on, you two!
**[14:48] ---**
KASWOOSH
VORTEX-TYPE SPELL
**[14:53] ---**
BLOODY SCRYDE
**[14:56] ---**
That's the base of the Undead Legion.
**[14:59] ---**
So Maam's down there?
**[15:00] ---**
Looks like it.
**[15:02] ---**
The temple was empty,
so they probably took her down there.
**[15:08] ---**
Then Crocodine...
**[15:10] ---**
He probably died.
**[15:12] ---**
It looked like his wounds
from fighting you hadn't fully healed.
**[15:17] ---**
That's strange.
The usual guards aren't there.
**[15:21] ---**
Then that's perfect.
**[15:24] ---**
Okay.
**[15:25] ---**
Let's go!
**[15:27] ---**
Right!
**[15:27] ---**
-Okay!
-Huh?!
**[15:29] ---**
With my mighty sword...
**[15:30] ---**
Wait, you don't have to, old timer!
**[15:33] ---**
They called me
the greatest swordsman in Papnica!
**[15:36] ---**
We need you here
to keep watch just in case!
**[15:41] ---**
In that case, I suppose...
**[15:43] ---**
We're off then.
**[15:45] ---**
Take care!
**[15:47] ---**
It's better this way.
**[15:48] ---**
No offense to him, but that old man
can't do anything against Hyunckel.
**[15:53] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:54] ---**
Same with us.
We can't use Zapple underground.
**[15:58] ---**
Once we find Maam, we run. Got it?
**[16:02] ---**
Hyunckel will be tough to beat.
**[16:04] ---**
Dai, I've been thinking.
**[16:07] ---**
Hyunckel is in the wrong here.
**[16:10] ---**
I get he has his motives...
**[16:13] ---**
but that doesn't excuse
destroying Papnica Kingdom!
**[16:17] ---**
Popp...
**[16:19] ---**
Listen...
**[16:20] ---**
*when I fought him, I was terrified.*
**[16:24] ---**
*I thought of running away like that one time.*
**[16:29] ---**
But thinking about justice,
and Maam, and you made me feel
**[16:33] ---**
that I had to try no matter what.
**[16:37] ---**
When that happened,
I felt a little less scared.
**[16:40] ---**
Oh, so I come after Maam?
**[16:42] ---**
C-Come on! I'm being serious here!
**[16:45] ---**
If Hyunckel chases us outside,
that's when we'll fight!
**[16:56] ---**
What's going on?!
**[16:57] ---**
The brats have entered the palace!
**[16:59] ---**
Lead them to where
Master Hyunckel commanded!
**[17:03] ---**
Got it!
**[17:05] ---**
*Oh no!
I've got to get out of here!*
**[17:10] ---**
G-Gomechan?!
When did you get in there?!
**[17:15] ---**
Oh, you were worried about me
and snuck in.
**[17:20] ---**
Thank you.
**[17:22] ---**
Gomechan, can you get those?
**[17:26] ---**
This place is huge.
We can't find the prison at all.
**[17:31] ---**
This used to be Hadlar's Dark Palace.
**[17:36] ---**
Frizzle!
**[17:41] ---**
The hostage has escaped!
**[17:43] ---**
Run!
**[17:46] ---**
There they are!
**[17:49] ---**
Popp, this way!
**[17:52] ---**
It's narrow, but hang in there.
**[17:55] ---**
It's an air duct,
so there has to be an exit.
**[18:07] ---**
There! An exit!
**[18:11] ---**
What is this place?!
**[18:15] ---**
This is the Colosseum
of the Underground Palace.
**[18:19] ---**
Oh crap! It's a trap!
**[18:21] ---**
The Dark Lord Hadlar used to have
prisoners fight monsters,
**[18:26] ---**
and he enjoyed watching
the death in this bloody place.
**[18:30] ---**
I chose it as the perfect place for you!
**[18:34] ---**
He's already fully armoured!
**[18:37] ---**
*We can see the sky here!*
**[18:40] ---**
Your time to end has come!
**[18:42] ---**
Where's Maam?!
**[18:44] ---**
Don't worry. Once you're dead,
I'll have no use for her.
**[18:48] ---**
She'll be safely released.
**[18:50] ---**
In fact, you can leave as well, Mage.
**[18:54] ---**
Th-Thanks but no thanks!
**[18:56] ---**
Popp, we'll have to fight here!
**[18:59] ---**
Okay! Let's target him
when he raises his sword!
**[19:02] ---**
I don't need my sword!
I'll crush you right now!
**[19:28] ---**
He's toying with us!
**[19:30] ---**
He won't use his sword!
**[19:32] ---**
I'll draw his attention!
**[19:34] ---**
You summon the clouds!
**[19:37] ---**
Are you sure?!
**[19:38] ---**
I'll give it a shot!
**[19:40] ---**
Have you given up?
**[19:47] ---**
Fool! Haven't you realized
you're outmatched?!
**[19:59] ---**
*He's anticipating my movements?!*
**[20:02] ---**
*Good going, Dai!
Just hold on a little longer!*
**[20:09] ---**
Spirits scattered in the heavens,
hear my voice!
**[20:22] ---**
Is this a hidden room?!
**[20:25] ---**
Oh! A treasure chest!
**[20:31] ---**
Sh-Should I open it?
**[20:33] ---**
Maybe it's a Cannibox.
**[20:38] ---**
But it could contain some useful,
powerful legendary weapon.
**[20:45] ---**
Th-This is...?!
**[20:53] ---**
*Just one fight and he's already
keeping up with me?!*
**[20:56] ---**
Curse you!
**[21:02] ---**
What?! Chain Mail?!
**[21:08] ---**
Ow, ow, ow, ow!
**[21:11] ---**
Very well.
If it's a gruesome death you seek,
**[21:16] ---**
I'll end you with my blade of hell!
**[21:20] ---**
*Here it is!*
**[21:21] ---**
Time to die!
**[21:23] ---**
Popp, now!
**[21:25] ---**
Reclimatise!
**[21:27] ---**
What?!
**[21:30] ---**
Take this!
**[21:31] ---**
Zapple!
**[21:51] ---**
It worked!
**[21:56] ---**
We did it! Hooray! Hooray!
**[22:20] ---**
*Kindness is the magic of kind people*
**[22:20] ---**
*yasashisa wa yasashii hito ga tsukaeru mahou*
**[22:26] ---**
*Then do I have no choice
But to just be a normal person?*
**[22:26] ---**

**[22:33] ---**
*I'm not sure*

*I wonder what you'd say*

**[22:57] ---**
*At times I can be cowardly and small*
**[22:57] ---**

*What would you say to me
As I hesitate to even hesitate?*
**[23:01] ---**

**[23:08] ---**
*Unlike the today that I sought*
**[23:08] ---**
*sagashite ita kyou to chigatte*
**[23:14] ---**
*I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment*
**[23:14] ---**
*ochikonnde shimau boku wo warau no darou*
**[23:34] ---**
*With his anger towards justice,*
**[23:36] ---**
*Hyunckel's power is overwhelming
in both sword and magic.*
**[23:40] ---**
*Helpless, Dai falls prey
to his Bloody Scryde.*
**[23:44] ---**
*All appears to be over, but Hyunckel
is shocked by a truth that Maam reveals.*

*Just then, Dai rises again!*

THE DECIDING MOMENT
**[01:51] ---**
Take this!
**[01:52] ---**
Zapple!
**[02:07] ---**
It worked!
**[02:10] ---**
We did it! Hooray! Hooray!
**[02:14] ---**
As expected, his armour's fine,
but I bet he's burned to a crisp in there.
**[02:20] ---**
That's what you get
for underestimating us, right Dai?!
**[02:32] ---**
Popp!
**[02:35] ---**
Even Zapple didn't work?!
**[02:38] ---**
No, it worked.
**[02:41] ---**
But he withstood the damage from it!
**[02:46] ---**
Even without his armour,
Hyunckel's strong!
**[02:50] ---**
I misjudged you two.
**[02:52] ---**
If you can do this,
then there's no need to hold back.
**[02:58] ---**
Here goes!
**[03:00] ---**
Dai, one more!
**[03:02] ---**
Too late!
Dark Puppetry Aura Hand!
**[03:05] ---**
Zap...
**[03:06] ---**
That binding thing again!
**[03:10] ---**
Farewell!
**[03:13] ---**
Bloody Scryde!
**[03:18] ---**
*We can't beat him.
Not by sword or by magic.*
**[03:24] ---**
Dai!
**[03:29] ---**
It's over.
**[03:35] ---**
Yeah, it must be an exit!
**[03:39] ---**
Hang in there, Dai!
**[03:41] ---**
No...
**[03:42] ---**
Answer me, Dai! Dai!
**[03:45] ---**
Don't bother.
Bloody Scryde is a killing attack.
**[03:49] ---**
He's finished.
**[03:51] ---**
Shut up!
**[03:53] ---**
This is all my fault! I got Dai killed!
**[03:59] ---**
Join him in the afterlife.
**[04:02] ---**
Wait, Hyunckel!
**[04:07] ---**
When did you get out?!
**[04:09] ---**
Hyunckel, how could you?!
**[04:11] ---**
You've struck a fellow Disciple of Avan!
**[04:15] ---**
Don't give me that.
He's a student of my father's killer!
**[04:20] ---**
You're wrong!
Master Avan wasn't your father's killer!
**[04:24] ---**
Spare me the lies!
**[04:25] ---**
It's the truth!
**[04:28] ---**
This was in a chest in a hidden room.
**[04:32] ---**
This is...
**[04:33] ---**
a Soul Shell!
**[04:35] ---**
They contain messages from the dying!
**[04:39] ---**
It's from your father.
The last words of the Hell Knight Bartos!
**[04:44] ---**
Dad's last words?! Impossible!
**[04:47] ---**
How could that exist?!
**[04:51] ---**
This isn't happening.
**[04:53] ---**
There's no way he's dead!
**[04:59] ---**
He's alive!
**[05:05] ---**
*In that instant, he leaned his body back
and avoided a hit to his heart!*
**[05:14] ---**
We can't... beat him...
**[05:18] ---**
*He can't be beaten by sword.
He can't be beaten by magic.*
**[05:22] ---**
*Not by sword or by magic.*
**[05:24] ---**
We can't beat him!
**[05:30] ---**
Dai...
**[05:32] ---**
Listen, Hyunckel,
to the truth your father left behind!
**[05:39] ---**
What really happened
the day this Underground Palace fell!
**[05:43] ---**
*Hyunckel... My son...*
**[05:47] ---**
Dad?!
**[05:51] ---**
*My dear son, Hyunckel.*
**[05:54] ---**
*I leave this message
so that you will know the truth.*
**[06:00] ---**
*The day the hero's party
attacked the Underground Palace,*
**[06:04] ---**
*I fought Avan, the Hero
as keeper of the Hell Gate!*
**[06:09] ---**
*But Avan was strong.*
**[06:20] ---**
*I prepared for my death.*
**[06:22] ---**
*And then...*
**[06:26] ---**
What's wrong?! Strike me down!
**[06:29] ---**
Let's not do this.
**[06:30] ---**
What?! Will you shame me with your mercy?!
**[06:37] ---**
That was clearly made by a child's hands.
**[06:40] ---**
It seems unlikely, but you have a family.
**[06:46] ---**
When I realized that, I couldn't kill you.
**[06:53] ---**
You've beaten me. Not just in strength,
but in heart as well!
**[06:58] ---**
Now please open the gate.
**[07:00] ---**
The only one I'm here for is Hadlar.
**[07:05] ---**
Sir Hero! I have something I must ask you!
**[07:10] ---**
*And so I told him.*
**[07:12] ---**
*How I found and raised a human child.*
**[07:16] ---**
*And that, even if he spared me,
should Hadlar die, I would cease to be.*
**[07:22] ---**
Hero Avan! Please look after my son!
**[07:26] ---**
Raise him to be a strong,
righteous warrior!
**[07:29] ---**
I ask that you show him real human warmth!
**[07:35] ---**
Yes.
**[07:37] ---**
*Sir Avan gracefully accepted.*
**[07:42] ---**
*And then Sir Avan went to face Hadlar.*
**[07:51] ---**
*Soon after...*
**[07:55] ---**
*Hadlar's death cry
echoed through the palace!*
**[08:00] ---**
*And yet... I still lived.*
**[08:12] ---**
Lord Hadlar!
**[08:13] ---**
You survived?!
**[08:15] ---**
At my moment of death,
**[08:17] ---**
I was saved by the dark powers
of the Underworld god, Vearn!
**[08:21] ---**
The Underworld god, Vearn?!
**[08:24] ---**
I must now sleep for 13 years to build up
my power and create a new Dark Army!
**[08:31] ---**
An army far greater
than the current Dark Army!
**[08:35] ---**
But, before I do that,
I need to execute you!
**[08:40] ---**
M-Me?!
**[08:42] ---**
You're an absolute failure!
**[08:45] ---**
With your pathetic sense of justice
and chivalry!
**[08:48] ---**
Your human-like warmth makes you weak!
**[08:52] ---**
And on top of that, you let Avan
pass right through the Hell Gate!
**[08:58] ---**
When I create my new Dark Army,
**[09:00] ---**
it will have no place
for a mistake like you!
**[09:08] ---**
Well, Avan, enjoy your moment of peace.
**[09:12] ---**
When my new Dark Army is complete,
I'll come for you first!
**[09:19] ---**
H-Hyunckel...
**[09:26] ---**
Dad?!
**[09:29] ---**
Dad!
**[09:35] ---**
Hyunckel...
**[09:36] ---**
*I no longer had the strength
to tell you the truth.*
**[09:41] ---**
*And so I hid this message in secret
within this Soul Shell.*
**[09:47] ---**
*Hoping that one day, you would hear it.*
**[09:53] ---**
*Hyunckel, I hope that
you live like a human.*
**[09:57] ---**
*And you must not hate Sir Avan!*
**[10:00] ---**
*If anything, hate this foolish monster
who deemed to raise a human child.*
**[10:07] ---**
*But know that I was happy.*
**[10:10] ---**
*For a brief moment,
this cold corpse of a body felt warmth.*
**[10:17] ---**
*Please let me say this one more time...*
**[10:21] ---**
*Hyunckel... thank you for the memories...*
**[10:26] ---**
*Dad!*
**[10:30] ---**
Then Hadlar was the one
who killed my father?!
**[10:35] ---**
And Avan knew I thought
he killed my father...
**[10:41] ---**
and still looked after me?!
**[10:46] ---**
Lies...
**[10:48] ---**
All lies!
**[10:53] ---**
Sword... and magic...
**[10:57] ---**
H-Hey Dai?!
**[10:59] ---**
Sword... and magic...
**[11:02] ---**
Wait! Dai!
**[11:05] ---**
*Something's wrong.
It's like he doesn't know who I am.*
**[11:09] ---**
*Are you telling me
he's not even conscious?!*
**[11:13] ---**
Dai?!
**[11:14] ---**
Impossible! A direct hit
with Bloody Scryde and he still lives?!
**[11:24] ---**
MAGIC BULLET GUN
**[11:30] ---**
BLOODY SCRYDE
**[11:35] ---**
*I remember Master Avan mentioning this.*
**[11:38] ---**
*Sometimes martial artists can keep on
fighting even after being knocked out.*
**[11:45] ---**
*Like their battle instincts keep on going.*
**[11:49] ---**
*That must be what's happening with Dai!*
**[11:51] ---**
Dai, don't! He'll kill you!
**[11:56] ---**
Curse you.
I'll finish you for sure this time!
**[11:59] ---**
Stop! You heard what your father said!
**[12:03] ---**
The Dark Lord Hadlar is the one
you should really hate!
**[12:07] ---**
Stop using your sword for evil!
**[12:09] ---**
Enough!
**[12:12] ---**
There's no turning back for me!
**[12:15] ---**
I'm the Undead Legion Commander
of the Dark Army!
**[12:18] ---**
With my body encased in this dark armour,
I am the vengeful warrior, Hyunckel!
**[12:25] ---**
Hyunckel...
**[12:35] ---**
Here goes, Dai!
**[12:45] ---**
*Magic and sword...*
**[12:47] ---**
It's no good!
He doesn't have his usual speed!
**[12:50] ---**
This is the end!
**[12:51] ---**
*Magic... and sword!*
**[12:55] ---**
What?! My supreme armour!
**[12:59] ---**
His sword burns?!
**[13:02] ---**
That's the flame of a Frizz spell!
**[13:05] ---**
*No one can encase a weapon in magic!*
**[13:08] ---**
*If anyone could, they would have to be
something beyond human!*
**[13:24] ---**
Yes! Dai was able to create
a new attack in this moment of peril!
**[13:29] ---**
When neither magic
nor sword worked alone, he used both...
**[13:33] ---**
in a Magic Sword!
**[13:34] ---**
Curse you!
**[13:50] ---**
Nice! Do it!
**[14:00] ---**
Oh no!
**[14:03] ---**
I won't miss this time!
**[14:06] ---**
*I've gotta do something!*
**[14:09] ---**
*The thunderclouds I summoned...!*
**[14:12] ---**
Dai, the lightning!
Call down the lighting!
**[14:16] ---**
Lightning...
**[14:19] ---**
Give it up! I'll finish it with this!
**[14:23] ---**
Lightning... Call lightning...
**[14:26] ---**
Call down the lightning!
**[14:28] ---**
Take this! Bloody Scryde!
**[14:36] ---**
What?!
**[14:36] ---**
Zap...
**[14:41] ---**
Strash!
**[14:55] ---**
He did it!
**[14:57] ---**
*Incomplete or not, it's an Avan Strash
and Zapple double whammy!*
**[15:01] ---**
*Not even Hyunckel can withstand...*
**[15:10] ---**
*Is he immortal?!*
**[15:23] ---**
We won! We won!
**[15:32] ---**
*It's no good. I'm finished!*
**[15:35] ---**
Dai, that's enough!
**[15:38] ---**
Maam?!
**[15:40] ---**
Dai, it's all over! You've won!
**[15:44] ---**
Please... I don't want to see
the Disciples of Avan fighting each other.
**[15:53] ---**
Tears?
**[16:07] ---**
Maam? Hyunckel?!
**[16:09] ---**
What was I doing?
**[16:11] ---**
Dai...
**[16:13] ---**
Why?
**[16:14] ---**
I'm your enemy.
**[16:16] ---**
You're not our enemy.
**[16:22] ---**
That's my...
**[16:29] ---**
You kept it this whole time?
**[16:32] ---**
I knew that the time would come
when I would return this to you.
**[16:39] ---**
*This kindness... This caring warmth...*
**[16:44] ---**
*She's like...*
**[16:47] ---**
*a holy mother.*
**[16:55] ---**
Dai, are you okay?!
**[16:58] ---**
Popp, Gomechan... Did I win?
**[17:02] ---**
That's right.
**[17:03] ---**
I...
**[17:05] ---**
I lose.
**[17:06] ---**
Hyunckel.
**[17:14] ---**
What are you doing, Maam?!
What if he comes at us again?!
**[17:18] ---**
There's no need to worry.
**[17:21] ---**
And shouldn't I get healed first?
**[17:31] ---**
I'm still casting Midheal!
**[17:32] ---**
It's enough.
**[17:33] ---**
Just look at you, Hyunckel!
Losing and then getting a lap pillow!
**[17:39] ---**
It's so pathetic it's hilarious!
**[17:42] ---**
You're.. Flazzard!
**[17:45] ---**
That's right! The mightiest
of the Six Legion Commanders!
**[17:49] ---**
Blizzblaze General Flazzard!
**[17:52] ---**
What is that guy?!
He's fire and ice stuck together!
**[17:56] ---**
What are you doing here?!
**[17:58] ---**
Isn't it obvious?!
I thought I'd drop by and kill you!
**[18:05] ---**
You know I've never liked you.
**[18:09] ---**
A human trying to take all the credit?!
Never in a million years!
**[18:15] ---**
If you'd won, I figured I'd kill you
and take the credit.
**[18:20] ---**
But it's even better that you lost!
**[18:23] ---**
I'll say you all killed each other
and spare you the shame!
**[18:30] ---**
You can cry and thank me!
**[18:35] ---**
What's this?!
**[18:37] ---**
I just gave this extinct volcano
a little wake-up call!
**[18:41] ---**
Soon this place'll be
overflowing with magma!
**[18:44] ---**
What?!
**[18:51] ---**
Curse you, Flazzard!
**[18:53] ---**
Whoops! Looks like I ain't welcome!
**[18:57] ---**
Guess I'll be bowing out now!
**[19:00] ---**
Everybody!
**[19:01] ---**
Enjoy your swim in the lava!
**[19:08] ---**
It's no good! We can't escape!
**[19:10] ---**
If we can make it up there...!
**[19:11] ---**
Nobody has that kind of strength left!
**[19:30] ---**
Hyunckel?!
**[19:31] ---**
I can't let any of you die here!
**[19:36] ---**
*Crocodine, I finally understand
how you felt!*
**[19:41] ---**
*I hope I can apologize to you
in the afterlife.*
**[19:45] ---**
*But for now, for just an instant...*
**[19:48] ---**
*lend me your titan strength!*
**[19:56] ---**
Stop! Don't do it, Hyunckel!
**[20:07] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[20:09] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[20:11] ---**
*Thank you.
At long last, my eyes are finally open.*
**[20:16] ---**
*I wish I could help you three out more...*
**[20:21] ---**
*but it looks like this is as far as I go.*
**[20:25] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[20:27] ---**
Watch out! This place won't last!
**[20:29] ---**
Maam!
**[20:30] ---**
It's coming down! We've got to go!
**[20:32] ---**
But Hyunckel's still...!
**[20:35] ---**
*Farewell, Dai and Popp...*
**[20:39] ---**
*Goodbye... Maam...*
**[20:43] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[20:54] ---**
And so the Undead Legion ends.
**[20:56] ---**
Master Hyunckel, at least let this
humble Moruge guide you to the afterlife.
**[21:07] ---**
I hear the Underground Palace
was destroyed.
**[21:10] ---**
It seems that extinct volcano
suddenly erupted.
**[21:14] ---**
*An extinct volcano erupting?*
**[21:18] ---**
Huh. That a shame.
**[21:21] ---**
Well, so be it.
**[21:24] ---**
He took the new Hero out with him,
so I'd say that wasn't a bad job.
**[21:29] ---**
*The audacity...*
**[21:35] ---**
*How terrifying it is
to see a man starved for glory.*
**[21:40] ---**
Okay! Now that Hyunckel's dead,
I guess conquering the Holkia continent
**[21:45] ---**
is my job now!
**[21:48] ---**
Of course, all I gotta do is find
little Princess Leona and kill her!
**[21:55] ---**
Talk about an easy job!
**[22:20] ---**
*Kindness is the magic of kind people*
**[22:20] ---**
*yasashisa wa yasashii hito ga tsukaeru mahou*
**[22:26] ---**
*Then do I have no choice
But to just be a normal person?*
**[22:26] ---**
*jaa boku wa tada no hito de iru shikanaino?*
**[22:33] ---**
*I'm not sure*
**[22:33] ---**
*doudarou*
**[22:38] ---**
*Even if the place I call home may change*
**[22:38] ---**
*kaeru basho wa ne kawatte yuku kedo*
**[22:44] ---**
*Listen to me, Mother*
**[22:44] ---**
*naa kaasan boku wa*
**[22:46] ---**
*I will never change those I protect*
**[22:46] ---**
*mamoru hito wo kaetari shinai*
**[22:53] ---**
*I wonder what you'd say*
**[22:53] ---**
*anata wa nannte iukana*
**[22:57] ---**
*At times I can be cowardly and small*
**[22:57] ---**
*tokiyori yowaki de chippoke de*
**[23:01] ---**
*What would you say to me
As I hesitate to even hesitate?*
**[23:01] ---**
*mayou koto ni mo mayou boku ni nannte iukana*
**[23:08] ---**
*Unlike the today that I sought*
**[23:08] ---**
*sagashite ita kyou to chigatte*
**[23:14] ---**
*I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment*
**[23:14] ---**
*ochikonnde shimau boku wo warau no darou*
**[23:34] ---**
*Having defeated Hyunckel, Dai and company*
**[23:37] ---**
*along with Baduck, meet Amy,
one of the Papnica Troika.*
**[23:42] ---**
*Together, they head to Valge Island
where Leona awaits.*
**[23:45] ---**
*But the island is already under siege by
their next enemy, the Blizzblaze Legion.*
**[23:52] ---**
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,*
**[23:55] ---**
*"Blizzblaze General Flazzard"*
**[23:57] ---**
*The adventure continues!*

**[00:13] ---**
*A Hero. A bringer of peace
who battles monsters and protects people.*
**[00:20] ---**
*The young boy, Dai,
was raised by monsters.*
**[00:23] ---**
*He decided to fight the Dark Army
after being trained by the Hero, Avan.*
**[00:29] ---**
*Traveling with Popp, the Mage, they were
later joined by Maam, a Warrior Priest.*
**[00:36] ---**
*Monsters of the Dark Lord Hadlar's Six
Legions attacked these Disciples of Avan.*
**[00:43] ---**
*They defeated Crocodine
of the Furfang Legion,*
**[00:47] ---**
*and were victorious against
Hyunckel of the Undead Legion.*
**[00:53] ---**
*Dai continues on the path of a Hero.*
**[00:56] ---**

Blizzblaze General Flazzard.*

BLIZZBLAZE GENERAL FLAZZARD
**[03:01] ---**
What's wrong, Maam? You seem blue.
**[03:05] ---**
I'm fine.
**[03:08] ---**
I was just thinking.
**[03:12] ---**
About Hyunckel?
**[03:16] ---**
Yeah.
**[03:17] ---**
Did you, well, like...
**[03:21] ---**
Did you like him?
**[03:23] ---**
Huh?!
**[03:26] ---**
I don't know.
**[03:27] ---**
But, when I looked into his sad eyes,
I wanted to help him.
**[03:34] ---**
I wanted to be by his side.
**[03:36] ---**
I just got that feeling.
**[03:38] ---**
Don't worry! It's okay. He's not dead.
**[03:42] ---**
After all Dai and I threw at him,
he was fit as a fiddle, remember?
**[03:48] ---**
Popp?
**[03:49] ---**
He was even Undead Legion Commander.
He wouldn't die so easily.
**[03:54] ---**
You're right. Thank you, Popp.
**[03:57] ---**
Uh, sure.
**[03:58] ---**
He must be alive.
He was a Disciple of Avan, after all.
**[04:03] ---**
*Oh man! What the hell am I doing?!*
**[04:06] ---**
*Here I am, talking up my rival
for some reason!*
**[04:10] ---**
Ow!
**[04:12] ---**
Finished!
**[04:16] ---**
Wow, it's like new! Amazing!
**[04:21] ---**
They used to call me
the Papnica Inventor King!
**[04:25] ---**
What happened to being
"the greatest swordsman in Papnica"?
**[04:29] ---**
Now we're all set! Let's go rescue Leona!
**[04:34] ---**
The problem is just where is the Princess?
**[04:38] ---**
He's right. She's missing, isn't she?
**[04:40] ---**
Where to look
in this vast continent of Holkia?
**[04:44] ---**
I guess we'll have to take it slowly.
**[04:46] ---**
But if we don't hurry, the next Legion
Commander of the Dark Army might show up.
**[04:52] ---**
Leona...
**[04:53] ---**
That's it!
**[04:56] ---**
What's it, old timer?
**[04:57] ---**
The temple! We should go to the temple!
**[05:01] ---**
The temple?
**[05:05] ---**
Hey, old timer,
what's in this ruined temple?
**[05:09] ---**
The temple has a basement warehouse.
Try to find the entrance.
**[05:16] ---**
This won't be easy.
**[05:18] ---**
What's in that warehouse?
**[05:21] ---**
Signal flares!
**[05:23] ---**
Signal flares?
**[05:25] ---**
Papnica has flares that use
gunpowder to send signals during battle.
**[05:32] ---**
Huh. With gunpowder?
**[05:34] ---**
If we find and launch one, the Princess
is sure to see it wherever she is.
**[05:41] ---**
I see.
**[05:42] ---**
If we launch
a red signal flare of victory,
**[05:45] ---**
I'm sure the Her Majesty will feel
it's safe enough to show up.
**[05:49] ---**
Found it!
**[05:53] ---**
Ooh! This might actually be it!
**[05:57] ---**
It's no good!
**[05:59] ---**
We can't get in.
**[06:01] ---**
But... I don't think we can move all this.
**[06:07] ---**
Leave it to me! Everybody get back!
**[06:14] ---**
He seems excited.
**[06:16] ---**
He probably can't wait
to test his strength.
**[06:20] ---**
Since I told him he beat Hyunckel
without the power of his mark.
**[06:25] ---**
*Let's test out whether I can
use that skill or not!*
**[06:32] ---**
Frizz!
**[06:36] ---**
You moron! Don't!
**[06:39] ---**
Fire Earth Slash!
**[06:51] ---**
Yes! I really did it!
**[06:55] ---**
You moron! Of all the attacks to use!
**[06:58] ---**
There's gunpowder down there! Gunpowder!
**[07:05] ---**
Oh crap!
**[07:06] ---**
They've ignited! Run!
**[07:34] ---**
A total loss.
All the signal flares were blown away.
**[07:40] ---**
Hey dummy, why couldn't you use Crack
for an Ice Earth Slash or something?
**[07:46] ---**
Hmm?
**[07:46] ---**
Sorry.
**[07:47] ---**
Well, at least the flares were launched.
**[07:52] ---**
Don't you think Princess Leona
got the message?
**[07:55] ---**
I dunno. With that crazy display, she
might get suspicious and stay hidden.
**[08:03] ---**
Sorry.
**[08:06] ---**
Huh?
**[08:09] ---**
What's that?
**[08:10] ---**
Huh?
**[08:13] ---**
It's not a bird.
**[08:15] ---**
Is it a monster?!
**[08:16] ---**
No, that's...!
**[08:19] ---**
That's...
**[08:22] ---**
The Papnica Balloon Ship!
**[08:24] ---**
Balloon Ship?
**[08:25] ---**
It's a vehicle that travels by air!
The royal family uses it!
**[08:30] ---**
What?!
**[08:34] ---**
Take us down.
**[08:37] ---**
That's Baduck!
**[08:39] ---**
Hey! Hey!
**[08:42] ---**
Hey!
**[08:43] ---**
Wow.
**[08:44] ---**
That's impressive.
**[08:46] ---**
Hey!
**[08:51] ---**
Hey!
**[09:01] ---**
Lady Amy!
**[09:02] ---**
Baduck, did you send up those flares?
**[09:07] ---**
You know her, old timer?
Introduce me, will you?
**[09:11] ---**
Fool! Show some respect!
**[09:14] ---**
This is Lady Amy,
one of the Papnica Troika!
**[09:18] ---**
A woman that young? I was thinking...
**[09:23] ---**
We're the Papnica Troika!
**[09:26] ---**
Those strange flares went up,
so we came to check it out.
**[09:31] ---**
I left the Princess with Apollo and Marin.
**[09:34] ---**
By Princess, you mean Leona, right?!
Is she okay?! Where is she?!
**[09:39] ---**
Who are you?
**[09:40] ---**
I'm a friend of Leona's! My name is Dai!
**[09:45] ---**
Dai? You're Dai?!
**[09:47] ---**
That's right. This young man is
the Hero Her Majesty always talks about.
**[09:53] ---**
This young man and his friends
have already vanquished the Undead Legion.
**[09:59] ---**
You can all rest easy.
**[10:01] ---**
What?!
**[10:02] ---**
Vanquished the Undead Legion?!
**[10:04] ---**
Are you really Dai, the Hero?
**[10:15] ---**
This is a weapon
of the Papnica royal family!
**[10:20] ---**
Leona gave it to me. It's my treasure!
**[10:26] ---**
I understand. Come with us.
**[10:29] ---**
The Princess waits at Valge Island.
**[10:31] ---**
Valge Island?! The Princess is there?!
**[10:42] ---**
Wow!
**[10:43] ---**
Holy cow!
**[10:45] ---**
This thing is amazing!
**[10:48] ---**
Of course.
It's the only Balloon Ship in Papnica.
**[10:52] ---**
Man, what a surprise.
**[10:55] ---**
When you came from the sky,
I thought you were the Princess, Miss Amy.
**[11:01] ---**
Oh no. The Princess is far more beautiful
than I could ever hope to be.
**[11:07] ---**
Ooh. I can't wait to meet her!
**[11:12] ---**
Gross. You're such a creep.
**[11:14] ---**
Oh come on! This is a princess
we're talking about here.
**[11:18] ---**
Who wouldn't be interested?
**[11:20] ---**
I bet she's gentle and cute,
unlike someone I know.
**[11:24] ---**
What?
**[11:26] ---**
Leona's cute, but she's not really gentle.
**[11:29] ---**
Huh? R-Really?
**[11:31] ---**
She's brutally honest.
She could be worse than Maam.
**[11:37] ---**
If she's worse than Maam,
is she really okay?
**[11:41] ---**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[11:43] ---**
If she's worse than Maam,
she must be an ogre.
**[11:48] ---**
Why you...!
**[11:50] ---**
Hey! Behave yourselves!
**[11:56] ---**
CRACKLE
ICE-TYPE SPELL
**[12:01] ---**
HELL'S CLAW
**[12:08] ---**
There's the island!
**[12:20] ---**
So that's Valge Island?!
**[12:23] ---**
The sea is spinning!
**[12:26] ---**
That's the Valge Whirlpool.
**[12:28] ---**
Because of that,
most people avoid Valge Island.
**[12:33] ---**
To get there by boat requires taking a
long route to avoid the whirlpool.
**[12:39] ---**
Plus Valge Tower
is the only thing on that island.
**[12:43] ---**
I never would have guessed
Her Majesty was there.
**[12:47] ---**
It's all thanks to this Balloon Ship.
**[12:50] ---**
We used it as a message ship while we
planned for a counterattack at the tower.
**[12:56] ---**
That must be the tower
in the middle of the island.
**[13:00] ---**
It used to be used as a lighthouse.
**[13:04] ---**
That's where Leona is!
**[13:07] ---**
*At last... At long last I can see Leona!*
**[13:11] ---**
Let go, you bastard!
**[13:13] ---**
Shut up! It's mine!
**[13:15] ---**
It's mine!
**[13:16] ---**
That's enough!
**[13:18] ---**
It's mine!
**[13:19] ---**
What is it?! What is going on?!
**[13:21] ---**
Sir Apollo! Lady Marin!
**[13:23] ---**
They're fighting over rations!
**[13:26] ---**
Over rations?
**[13:30] ---**
That's enough!
You're embarrassing yourselves!
**[13:32] ---**
It's his fault!
He tried to take more than his share!
**[13:36] ---**
I've been on guard for three days!
I deserve to eat this much!
**[13:41] ---**
I haven't eaten anything in a whole day!
**[13:44] ---**
Shut up! Let go!
**[13:46] ---**
You let go!
**[13:47] ---**
Hand that over!
**[13:50] ---**
Princess!
**[13:51] ---**
Your Majesty?!
**[14:02] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[14:03] ---**
Throwing it away!
**[14:04] ---**
What?!
**[14:05] ---**
But it's the last of our valuable food!
**[14:08] ---**
Valuable or not,
if it sparks conflict, I don't want it.
**[14:14] ---**
All of you...
**[14:16] ---**
The reason we're in hiding
and preparing for a counterattack...
**[14:21] ---**
is to thwart the Dark Army's evil.
**[14:24] ---**
How can we fight amongst ourselves
over our own greed?!
**[14:31] ---**
That's no different from the Dark Army!
**[14:34] ---**
If the alternative is to live as monsters,
then let us starve to death as a humans!
**[14:42] ---**
I'm so ashamed.
**[14:44] ---**
You've barely eaten, too, Princess.
**[14:47] ---**
And here we are, the first to complain.
**[14:51] ---**
Forgive us!
**[14:53] ---**
We're sorry.
**[14:57] ---**
Have you calmed down?
**[14:59] ---**
Yes!
**[15:00] ---**
Then talk it over and share.
**[15:03] ---**
Very well!
**[15:10] ---**
We just need to hold out a little longer!
**[15:15] ---**
I know the Hero will come to save us!
**[15:18] ---**
You mean the young man
you always speak of?
**[15:21] ---**
I believe his name is Dai?
**[15:23] ---**
Right!
**[15:24] ---**
He's a little short,
but he's got the Hero spirit.
**[15:29] ---**
I sent him a tutor,
so he should have gotten stronger by now.
**[15:34] ---**
That's not a very nice way
to speak of our savior.
**[15:40] ---**
But do think such a boy will really come?
**[15:45] ---**
Let us believe he will.
**[15:48] ---**
At the very least, the Princess believes.
**[15:51] ---**
If the Princess believes,
then so should we all.
**[15:55] ---**
*Sorry, but that's
a pipe dream right there.*
**[15:58] ---**
*The Hero and company
are at the bottom of a pool of lava.*
**[16:02] ---**
Who's there?!
**[16:04] ---**
*Such leadership and charisma
for a little girl.*
**[16:08] ---**
*I may have scored
a bigger fish than I thought.*
**[16:14] ---**
Over there!
**[16:15] ---**
You! Who are you?!
**[16:17] ---**
Blizzblaze General Flazzard.
**[16:20] ---**
Sorry I ain't your Hero, little Princess!
**[16:27] ---**
The Dark Army!
**[16:28] ---**
Curse you!
**[16:34] ---**
One was burned and one was frozen...
**[16:38] ---**
He can control both heat and cold?
**[16:43] ---**
Time to die now.
**[16:46] ---**
Today the Papnica royal family dies out!
**[16:50] ---**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[16:51] ---**
We won't let you lay a finger
on the Princess!
**[16:54] ---**
Die, monster!
**[16:58] ---**
We can stand this flame!
**[17:01] ---**
Too hot for you?
Then let me cool you down!
**[17:16] ---**
With one blow?!
**[17:18] ---**
The temperature difference.
**[17:20] ---**
The rapid temperature difference of
the flames and ice weakened their armour!
**[17:24] ---**
Hmm?
**[17:26] ---**
Looks like we got at least one guy
with some brains.
**[17:30] ---**
I am Apollo of the Papnica Troika!
**[17:34] ---**
And I am Marin!
**[17:36] ---**
We shall protect the Princess
with our lives!
**[17:40] ---**
Ooh. Good for you.
**[17:42] ---**
Marin, hit his flame side
with a Crack spell.
**[17:47] ---**
I shall hit the other side.
**[17:48] ---**
Got it!
**[17:50] ---**
Here goes! Kafrizz!
**[17:53] ---**
Kacrack!
**[17:58] ---**
Whoops!
**[18:02] ---**
Goodie, goodie.
Giving me a feast as a welcome?
**[18:10] ---**
Stop! He's absorbing the spell energy!
**[18:18] ---**
Right back at you.
**[18:23] ---**
Insulate!
**[18:27] ---**
Insulate, huh?
**[18:29] ---**
Well, well. I guess that "Troika" title
ain't just for show.
**[18:34] ---**
Now matter how strong your flames or ice,
you cannot pierce this defensive shield!
**[18:39] ---**
Okay, okay, I get it.
**[18:42] ---**
Then out of respect for your performance,
let me show you a neat trick.
**[18:49] ---**
A trick?!
**[18:51] ---**
K...
**[18:53] ---**
a...
**[18:55] ---**
fr...
**[18:58] ---**
i...
**[19:01] ---**
zz!
**[19:06] ---**
Five Finger Flares!
**[19:20] ---**
Look! Something's wrong down there!
**[19:24] ---**
Could the Princess be in danger?!
**[19:32] ---**
*He fired five Kafrizz spells at once.*
**[19:37] ---**
*He's an unbelievable monster!*
**[19:41] ---**
Apollo, let me heal you!
**[19:52] ---**
Y-You bastard!
How could you do that to Marin?!
**[19:56] ---**
Don't make me laugh!
**[19:57] ---**
This is a battlefield!
It doesn't matter who you are!
**[20:02] ---**
The strong live and the weak die!
**[20:09] ---**
If you don't want to get hurt,
stay off of the battlefield!
**[20:13] ---**
Ain't that right, Princess Leona?
**[20:17] ---**
You're prepared to die
in any horrible way, aren't you?
**[20:26] ---**
Hurry! Get us down there!
**[20:29] ---**
Can you land on the roof?!
**[20:31] ---**
Yes, my lady!
**[20:32] ---**
*Leona...*
**[20:35] ---**
Crack!
**[20:41] ---**
So much for Papnica.
**[20:44] ---**
When the survivors hear of your death,
they'll all lose hope.
**[20:48] ---**
I'm sure they'll never think of
opposing the Dark Army again.
**[20:54] ---**
Don't assume humans are like you monsters!
**[20:59] ---**
What was that?
**[21:00] ---**
There will always be someone
who'll stand against you!
**[21:05] ---**
So long as humanity has its pride!
**[21:09] ---**
That's some courage there.
Right when you're about to die!
**[21:14] ---**
Bye-bye, little Princess.
Go act tough on your way to the afterlife!
**[21:25] ---**
*Wait... that knife...*
**[21:27] ---**
Who's there?!
**[21:31] ---**
Dai?!
**[21:33] ---**
You?! You're alive?!
**[21:35] ---**
Get away from Leona!
**[21:38] ---**
Save it for someone who cares!
**[21:45] ---**
If you even touch Leona, you'll regret it!
**[21:50] ---**
Dai!
**[21:53] ---**
You little brat!

THE TERRIFYING CURSE FIELD
**[01:50] ---**
Bye-bye little Princess.
Go act tough on your way to the afterlife!
**[02:01] ---**
Dai?!
**[02:03] ---**
Get away from Leona!
**[02:06] ---**
Save it for someone who cares!
**[02:12] ---**
If you even touch Leona, you'll regret it!
**[02:17] ---**
Dai!
**[02:21] ---**
You little brat!
**[02:29] ---**
Dai jumped off and charged in alone!
**[02:32] ---**
Once we land let's charge in, too!
**[02:35] ---**
Baduck, stay here and keep watch.
**[02:38] ---**
Huh?
**[02:39] ---**
Have the Balloon Ship ready to launch!
**[02:42] ---**
Yes, Lady!
**[02:50] ---**
I'll regret it?!
**[02:53] ---**
Cocky little brat!
**[02:58] ---**
Just try to hurt me if you can!
**[03:07] ---**
Why you...!
**[03:18] ---**
*He's fast! Could it be...?!*
**[03:20] ---**
I'm going to avenge Hyunckel, too!
**[03:23] ---**
In your dreams, you snotty brat!
**[03:27] ---**
Kacrackle!
**[03:28] ---**
Dai!
**[03:35] ---**
Freeze! Freeze!
**[03:57] ---**
What is that sword?!
**[04:03] ---**
Magic Sword!
**[04:04] ---**
What?!
**[04:06] ---**
Oh wow!
**[04:08] ---**
Take this!
**[04:10] ---**
Fire Earth Slash!
**[04:21] ---**
Dammit!
**[04:29] ---**
*I was right!
No wonder he beat Crocodine and Hyunckel!*
**[04:35] ---**
*In his battles
with the other Legion Commanders...*
**[04:39] ---**
*the little brat's combat skills
have leveled up unbelievably!*
**[04:46] ---**
*This might be...*
**[04:48] ---**
*time for my trump card!*
**[04:51] ---**
*Oh wow! Oh wow, Dai!*
**[04:56] ---**
*You've learned to properly use magic.*
**[04:59] ---**
*I'm a little relieved.*
**[05:02] ---**
Dai!
**[05:05] ---**
Popp, Maam, Miss Amy!
**[05:08] ---**
Help everyone!
**[05:09] ---**
Hang in there!
**[05:13] ---**
Apollo!
**[05:14] ---**
A-Amy, help Marin first!
**[05:17] ---**
What?!
**[05:19] ---**
Sister!
**[05:24] ---**
That bastard did all this?!
**[05:27] ---**
But it looks like
we've got the upper hand, huh?
**[05:30] ---**
Don't let your guard down!
**[05:42] ---**
I get it. You're a much bigger fish
than that little princess!
**[05:48] ---**
Huh?!
**[05:53] ---**
H-His arm grew back?!
**[05:55] ---**
Your head is mine!
**[06:15] ---**
Everybody, get down!
**[06:21] ---**
Blizzblaze Shrapnel Detonation!
**[06:49] ---**
Leona!
**[06:50] ---**
It hurts! It hurts bad!
**[06:53] ---**
You're not the only one in pain, dummy!
**[06:57] ---**
Stop crying and help everyone!
**[07:00] ---**
It'll take more than that to beat us!
**[07:04] ---**
You've already lost.
**[07:06] ---**
What?!
**[07:07] ---**
That little thing was both an attack
and a signal to my servants...
**[07:14] ---**
to begin an infernal battle.
**[07:17] ---**
What was that blast?!
**[07:20] ---**
Hey! You need my help down there?!
**[07:25] ---**
An earthquake?!
**[07:32] ---**
What's that?!
**[07:53] ---**
W-What in the world?!
**[07:56] ---**
Huh?!
**[08:07] ---**
What is it?! What's happening?!
**[08:11] ---**
The Dark Flame Spire is complete!
**[08:15] ---**
The Dark Ice Spire is complete, too!
**[08:22] ---**
And now, let's begin
our entertaining showtime!
**[09:11] ---**
The shaking stopped!
**[09:18] ---**
What was that?! What did you do?!
**[09:25] ---**
The Blizzblaze Curse Field!
**[09:28] ---**
Blizzblaze... Curse Field?
**[09:31] ---**
It's the ultimate tactic that's made
my Blizzblaze Legion unbeatable!
**[09:37] ---**
You're all out of options now!
**[09:40] ---**
All you can do now is scramble around
until you're all slaughtered!
**[09:46] ---**
Get real! You can't slaughter us
with just a little shaking!
**[09:52] ---**
Then give it a shot.
**[09:54] ---**
Fine! Cry and beg all you like,
but it's over for you!
**[09:58] ---**
Sizz!
**[10:02] ---**
Huh?
**[10:03] ---**
Sizz!
**[10:05] ---**
What's this?! What's going on?!
**[10:08] ---**
My spell... I can't cast Sizz!
**[10:10] ---**
Frizz!
**[10:12] ---**
C-could it be...?!
**[10:15] ---**
He's nullified our magic?!
**[10:16] ---**
I guess you haven't gotten the rules yet.
**[10:31] ---**
*It's like... It's like
my strength is gone!*
**[10:35] ---**
C'mere!
**[10:48] ---**
Dai!
**[10:49] ---**
What's going on?!
How did Flazzard suddenly get so strong?!
**[10:57] ---**
That's not it. I haven't gotten stronger.
**[11:03] ---**
So what is it then?
**[11:07] ---**
You've all gotten weaker!
**[11:12] ---**
What?!
**[11:14] ---**
That Dark Flame Spire...
**[11:17] ---**
and that Dark Ice Spire...
**[11:20] ---**
act on the core inside my body...
**[11:23] ---**
and encase this entire area
with a powerful field!
**[11:29] ---**
Within this field,
**[11:31] ---**
everybody but me is weakened
and can't use spells.
**[11:36] ---**
Basically, right now, this kid
is weaker than a normal human.
**[11:43] ---**
What?!
**[11:44] ---**
Looks like you finally get the rules!
**[11:48] ---**
Th-That's cheating, Flazzard!
**[11:51] ---**
Can't you fight fair and square?!
**[11:54] ---**
Save me the sermon.
**[11:56] ---**
I don't like fighting.
**[12:01] ---**
Winning is what I like!
**[12:09] ---**
Slaughter time! Here I come!
**[12:30] ---**
*It's no good!
My Magic Bullet Gun doesn't work!*
**[12:38] ---**
AVAN STRASH
**[12:42] ---**
FIVE FINGER FLARES
**[12:51] ---**
Miss Amy, is your sister alright?!
**[12:54] ---**
She's alive. But I can't cast Heal!
**[12:58] ---**
At this rate, my sister and Apollo
and everyone will die!
**[13:14] ---**
Dai, we have to run!
**[13:16] ---**
What?! What are you talking about, Maam?!
**[13:19] ---**
We have to save the survivors and
take the Balloon Ship outside the field!
**[13:25] ---**
It's our only option!
**[13:26] ---**
No! I don't want to lose to that cheater!
**[13:30] ---**
So long as you survive, you haven't lost!
**[13:33] ---**
But at this rate, we'll all be wiped out!
**[13:39] ---**
I'll give you a choice.
**[13:40] ---**
Want to be frozen solid?
**[13:43] ---**
Or turned into a cinder?
**[13:46] ---**
No!
**[13:47] ---**
No! We can't run!
**[13:50] ---**
What?!
**[13:52] ---**
Dai, stop being stubborn!
**[13:55] ---**
I'm not running!
**[13:56] ---**
Damn straight you're not!
**[14:04] ---**
Leona!
**[14:06] ---**
I just put up the field.
I can't have you running now!
**[14:11] ---**
Stop!
**[14:13] ---**
Let's make it so you don't even think
about running away!
**[14:38] ---**
Princess!
**[14:51] ---**
Leona!
**[14:54] ---**
There. You like that?
The Princess of Papnica in ice.
**[15:00] ---**
Don't worry, though.
She's still alive in there!
**[15:08] ---**
I used Legendary Forbidden Magic
to freeze her.
**[15:12] ---**
No blow can shatter it
and no spell can melt it.
**[15:16] ---**
So what are you supposed to do?
**[15:20] ---**
You have to beat me.
**[15:22] ---**
Kill me, and the ice melts!
**[15:25] ---**
So, do you still want to run?
**[15:28] ---**
You can't abandon your little princess
and flee like mice...
**[15:32] ---**
Can you?
**[15:34] ---**
It's hard being a Hero, huh?!
**[15:51] ---**
-Darn it!
-Dai!
**[15:53] ---**
There you go!
**[15:56] ---**
Just like that!
**[15:58] ---**
Come and be killed!
**[16:00] ---**
Popp!
**[16:01] ---**
Y-Yeah?
**[16:03] ---**
Help Miss Amy and get everyone
to the Balloon Ship!
**[16:06] ---**
We're running?!
**[16:07] ---**
No! We can't abandon the Princess!
**[16:11] ---**
At this rate, we'll just be slaughtered!
**[16:14] ---**
We have to get out
and wait for an opportunity!
**[16:18] ---**
Help us, Baduck!
**[16:20] ---**
R-Right!
**[16:21] ---**
Sister, hang in there!
**[16:24] ---**
Darn it!
**[16:41] ---**
How's that?!
**[16:42] ---**
Ooh. That's impressive.
**[16:46] ---**
You've still got
that much strength in you.
**[16:51] ---**
In this field, my enemies' strength
becomes one fifth what it was.
**[16:59] ---**
In other words, normally, that blow
would be five times stronger.
**[17:03] ---**
Talk about scary.
**[17:06] ---**
But...
**[17:10] ---**
in here, it'll never amount
to a mortal wound!
**[17:15] ---**
Dai, we have to escape!
**[17:17] ---**
Don't be stupid!
You saw what he did to Leona!
**[17:21] ---**
So long as you're alive,
he won't kill the Princess!
**[17:25] ---**
We should escape and formulate a plan!
**[17:27] ---**
No! I'm...
**[17:30] ---**
I'm...
**[17:32] ---**
I'm fighting to the end!
**[17:34] ---**
That's right. Come on, big Hero.
**[17:48] ---**
What the hell?!
**[17:55] ---**
I'm sorry, Dai!
**[17:57] ---**
Maam, hurry!
**[18:00] ---**
Like hell! You're going nowhere!
**[18:03] ---**
How about...
**[18:05] ---**
Kafrizz!
**[18:07] ---**
...this!
**[18:18] ---**
Now!
**[18:19] ---**
Right!
**[18:32] ---**
Why that little...!
**[18:35] ---**
What the heck was that explosion?
**[18:38] ---**
A bullet from my Magic Bullet Gun.
**[18:39] ---**
I threw a bullet with a Sizz spell in it.
**[18:45] ---**
Flazzard's Kafrizz set it off.
**[18:49] ---**
That's smart thinking.
**[18:52] ---**
Lady Amy, where shall we go?
**[18:54] ---**
Head north.
**[18:56] ---**
North it is.
**[18:57] ---**
There's a rocky coast
where we should be able to hide.
**[19:04] ---**
Dancing Flame Army of the Dark Flame Spire!
**[19:06] ---**
Knock them out of the sky!
Don't let them off the island!
**[19:13] ---**
Wait right there, little Princess.
**[19:17] ---**
He ain't the sort of Hero
to abandon you, is he?
**[19:24] ---**
Normally, I feel like running
the moment it gets dangerous.
**[19:28] ---**
But not this time.
**[19:32] ---**
I wish I could have done something
to save the Princess.
**[19:35] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[19:38] ---**
But...
**[19:40] ---**
I know, Maam.
**[19:42] ---**
If you hadn't done what you did,
we'd have been wiped out by now.
**[19:50] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:51] ---**
Everyone, look!
**[19:57] ---**
Pursuers!
**[20:01] ---**
Get us out of here, old timer!
At full speed!
**[20:03] ---**
R-Right!
**[20:05] ---**
Kacrack!
**[20:08] ---**
Everybody, we're out of the field,
so we can use magic!
**[20:13] ---**
Crackle!
**[20:22] ---**
Even so, there's too many of them!
**[20:30] ---**
We're going to fall into the whirlpool!
**[20:33] ---**
I've got this!
**[20:35] ---**
Our altitude keeps dropping!
**[20:37] ---**
It's all over!
**[20:39] ---**
We're crashing?!
**[20:41] ---**
Don't give up!
**[21:02] ---**
Get us to shore!
**[21:06] ---**
Drop the weights!
**[21:22] ---**
Over there!
**[21:23] ---**
A light came from there and saved us!
**[21:27] ---**
Let's go!
**[21:33] ---**
We're here.
**[21:35] ---**
Who's there? The fools from the balloon?
**[21:37] ---**
Uh, yes!
**[21:39] ---**
If you're all okay
then feel free to leave.
**[21:42] ---**
Huh? Um...
**[21:44] ---**
Leave.
**[21:45] ---**
Please! You have to help us!
**[21:48] ---**
I don't want anything to do with anyone.
**[21:52] ---**
Y-You!
**[21:55] ---**
Hm?
**[21:56] ---**
Uncle Matoriv!
**[21:58] ---**
Hmm?

THE GRAND SORCERER MATORIV
**[01:50] ---**
Please! You have to help us!
**[01:54] ---**
I don't want anything to do with anyone.
**[01:57] ---**
Y-You!
**[02:00] ---**
Hm?
**[02:00] ---**
Uncle Matoriv!
**[02:03] ---**
Hmm?
**[02:07] ---**
Oh! You!
**[02:11] ---**
Maam?!
**[02:14] ---**
Look how you've grown!
You're ripe for motorboarding!
**[02:19] ---**
As if!
**[02:21] ---**
Calm down.
I've changed your diaper, remember?
**[02:26] ---**
Give me a motorboard greeting.
**[02:27] ---**
You haven't changed at all, you lech.
**[02:30] ---**
Wait, you know this guy, Maam?
**[02:33] ---**
I don't just know him. This is...
**[02:35] ---**
Matoriv! Now I remember!
**[02:37] ---**
A Mage who fought the Dark Lord with the
Hero and served the Papnica royal family!
**[02:44] ---**
His name was the Grand Sorcerer Matoriv!
**[02:47] ---**
By Hero, you mean Master Avan?
**[02:49] ---**
That's right. Uncle Matoriv was
in Master Avan's party.
**[02:54] ---**
How's your mother, Maam?
**[02:57] ---**
If she's still single, I can marry her.
**[03:01] ---**
He used to visit our home a lot,
but I had no idea he was hiding here.
**[03:07] ---**
This old lech was in the Hero's party?
**[03:11] ---**
Normally, I wouldn't want to
see him, but not today.
**[03:14] ---**
That's right!
**[03:16] ---**
No one could be more helpful
than the Grand Sorcerer Matoriv!
**[03:23] ---**
Please, Sir Matoriv!
Help us rescue Princess Leona!
**[03:28] ---**
Princess?
**[03:29] ---**
That's right. The Princess of Papnica
is being held on Valge Island.
**[03:34] ---**
I'm sure Sir Matoriv can overcome
the enemy's strange spell!
**[03:39] ---**
Please!
**[03:41] ---**
No thanks.
**[03:42] ---**
What?!
**[03:43] ---**
I said no thanks.
**[03:45] ---**
I'm done helping the stupid royal family.
**[03:49] ---**
The royal family? Stupid?
**[03:51] ---**
It's not just the royal family.
It's people in general.
**[03:55] ---**
When the Dark Army was attacking, they'd
butter us up so we'd fight for them.
**[04:01] ---**
But once peace came, they all suddenly
turned their backs on us.
**[04:06] ---**
Sure, I got to be advisor to the king
after the battle was over,
**[04:11] ---**
but I was constantly badgered
by the other officials.
**[04:17] ---**
I guess they were all
jealous of my skills.
**[04:20] ---**
That's people for you.
They think about nothing but themselves.
**[04:25] ---**
I grew tired of all of them
and decided to live in this cave.
**[04:29] ---**
I saved you all out of a whim,
but that's as far as it goes.
**[04:33] ---**
Besides, even if I help you, once it's
over, you'll just forget about me again.
**[04:40] ---**
Shoo! Shoo!
**[04:41] ---**
That's...
**[04:43] ---**
That's not true.
**[04:51] ---**
Dai, you...
**[04:54] ---**
Not everybody thinks
about nothing but themselves!
**[04:57] ---**
If you were Master Avan's companion,
you should know that!
**[05:01] ---**
*Those eyes...*
**[05:03] ---**
*Avan?!*
**[05:05] ---**
*They have the same eyes.*
**[05:09] ---**
And you are?
**[05:10] ---**
I'm Dai! Master Avan's last student!
**[05:14] ---**
His last?
**[05:16] ---**
Master Avan gave his life to save us!
**[05:22] ---**
I see. So Avan is dead.
**[05:26] ---**
That's why we want to avenge his death
by defeating the Dark Army!
**[05:31] ---**
Please! Lend us your strength!
**[05:44] ---**
I'm listening.
**[05:49] ---**
*That's Legendary Forbidden Magic.*
**[05:52] ---**
*I think Flazzard mentioned
something like that.*
**[05:57] ---**
Forbidden Magic is magic so dirty
that its use is banned.
**[06:03] ---**
Anyone who uses it
becomes a pariah among Mages.
**[06:07] ---**
How can we save Princess Leona?
**[06:09] ---**
First, you break
the Blizzblaze Curse Field.
**[06:12] ---**
To do that, you have to approach outside
the field and destroy these two Spires.
**[06:18] ---**
You'll need bombs that pack a hefty punch.
**[06:21] ---**
Then leave that to me!
**[06:25] ---**
Good. You can use
whatever you like for materials.
**[06:30] ---**
Don't forget they need
to pack a hefty punch.
**[06:33] ---**
We don't need any silly bombs.
I can blow them away with my magic.
**[06:43] ---**
He's not a Student of Avan, too, is he?
**[06:46] ---**
He is. This is Popp, the Mage.
**[06:49] ---**
Lend him to me.
**[06:50] ---**
Huh? Does he show promise?
**[06:52] ---**
Just the opposite. I've never seen
a Mage who looked so weak.
**[06:57] ---**
If I don't do something,
he's going to die out there.
**[07:00] ---**
O-Oh really?
**[07:02] ---**
Leave it to me. I'll train him with
a Special Hard Course worse than Avan's.
**[07:10] ---**
*What?!*
**[07:12] ---**
What did you just say, Lord Hadlar?!
**[07:15] ---**
A full-on assault.
**[07:17] ---**
They're sure to attempt to destroy
the Dark Flame and Dark Ice Spires.
**[07:24] ---**
When they do,
they'll split up their forces.
**[07:27] ---**
We will gather all of our armies
and wipe out Dai and his companions.
**[07:32] ---**
Oh?
**[07:33] ---**
But Flazzard is sure to complain
about not being able to take credit.
**[07:38] ---**
He's a monster that I created
using Legendary Forbidden Magic.
**[07:43] ---**
He's basically my son.
He won't disobey his father.
**[07:48] ---**
Interesting. At last,
my Dragon Legion can play a role.
**[07:54] ---**
Wait, Baran. I have something else
I need you to do.
**[07:58] ---**
What?
**[08:00] ---**
Mystvearn is fighting Carl Kingdom,
but they're proving quite resilient.
**[08:07] ---**
I'd like you to take down Carl.
**[08:11] ---**
You just said "all of our armies!"
**[08:15] ---**
And defeating the Hero should take
precedence over other invasions!
**[08:20] ---**
Isn't that why the Six Legion Commanders
were summoned?!
**[08:24] ---**
Or is there some other reason
you don't want me to face this boy, Dai?
**[08:34] ---**
Say what you will, the order still stands.
**[08:40] ---**
Very well. I'll let you give the orders
this time, Dark Commander.
**[08:46] ---**
I'm off to Carl Kingdom!
**[08:49] ---**
*What's so special about Baran that Lord
Hadlar gives him preferential treatment?*
**[08:55] ---**
*Not even Baran can
overthrow Carl that easily!*
**[08:59] ---**
*We must kill Dai before that happens!*
**[09:03] ---**
We shall make Valge Island their grave!
**[09:16] ---**
W-What the hell?! This is Nayle Village!
**[09:19] ---**
This is the
Instant Transmission Spell, Zoom!
**[09:22] ---**
You think of your destination
and it takes you there instantly.
**[09:29] ---**
Popp!
**[09:31] ---**
Matoriv, you...
**[09:32] ---**
Yo, Leira, long time no see.
I ran into Maam.
**[09:37] ---**
Maam?
**[09:38] ---**
She's gotten all curvy,
just like you when you were young!
**[09:43] ---**
Why are you here with Popp?
**[09:45] ---**
It's complicated. I figured
I'd give his butt a well-deserved kick.
**[09:50] ---**
Come on!
**[09:51] ---**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[09:52] ---**
Popp...
**[09:53] ---**
-Get over here.
-I get it, I get it!
**[09:55] ---**
Shut up.
**[09:56] ---**
He seems like a mean old man.
**[09:59] ---**
He is.
**[10:00] ---**
But if he's teaching,
I know Popp will grow stronger.
**[10:05] ---**
He was once called
the greatest of all Mages.
**[10:10] ---**
But he can be a little quirky.
**[10:16] ---**
Is this really going to
let me use powerful magic?!
**[10:19] ---**
Idiot, this is basic stamina building
before training. It's a warm-up.
**[10:24] ---**
Better pick up the pace
or you'll get trampled!
**[10:33] ---**
See? You can do it.
**[10:43] ---**
Frizz doesn't work well under water!
Find another way out or you'll drown!
**[10:51] ---**
Wanna know how? You don't use a spell!
You release your Magic Power itself!
**[10:57] ---**
From your entire body!
**[11:01] ---**
Whoops. Did I read him wrong?
**[11:21] ---**
Dai!
**[11:25] ---**
Let's stop.
Your wounds haven't fully healed.
**[11:29] ---**
You're pushing yourself.
**[11:30] ---**
I'm fine. I can't rest
when Popp is out there training!
**[11:36] ---**
Besides, Matoriv said this training
would help me to fight Flazzard!
**[11:42] ---**
*I'll never forgive Flazzard!*
**[11:45] ---**
*Just when I finally found Leona!*
**[11:48] ---**
I'll defeat him!
And I swear I'll rescue Leona!
**[11:53] ---**
*I've never seen Dai so emotional before.*
**[11:57] ---**
*Princess Leona must
really be important to him.*
**[12:01] ---**
All right! Here we go!
**[12:03] ---**
Come on!
**[12:08] ---**
MAGIC BULLET GUN
**[12:13] ---**
FIVE FINGER FLARES
**[12:29] ---**
No more!
**[12:31] ---**
How pathetic.
**[12:33] ---**
A whole day together and
your Magic Power increased just that much?
**[12:38] ---**
You should be ashamed a hundred year-old
like me beat a youngster like you.
**[12:43] ---**
A hundred?!
**[12:45] ---**
I guess that's all for today.
**[12:50] ---**
I'm heading back to Papnica.
Use your own Zoom spell to come back.
**[12:56] ---**
What?! There's no way I can do that!
**[12:59] ---**
It's easy. You flew from the river to
the shore by releasing your Magic Power.
**[13:05] ---**
If you have a clear image of your
destination, Zoom's a piece of cake.
**[13:11] ---**
But from the river to the shore and
from here to Papnica is totally different.
**[13:16] ---**
Beside, even if I learn Zoom,
it's useless in battle!
**[13:20] ---**
Get your head out of your ass!
**[13:22] ---**
A Mage's magic is
for protecting his companions!
**[13:28] ---**
Thwarting danger using numerous spells
and knowledge is what a Mage does!
**[13:34] ---**
Don't you realize,
if you could had used Zoom,
**[13:37] ---**
you could have rescued your companions
from the burning Balloon Ship?!
**[13:43] ---**
Don't talk like you're anything more
than a novice!
**[13:46] ---**
If you can't clear a challenge this easy,
you'll just drag everyone down.
**[13:53] ---**
Even if you join the fight,
you'll just end up dead.
**[13:57] ---**
You can just wander around
the Dark Forest for eternity!
**[14:00] ---**
Wait!
**[14:03] ---**
Dammit! You bastard!
**[14:07] ---**
Ah, Sir Matoriv! I've completed the bombs!
**[14:11] ---**
No good. Do over. The design sucks.
**[14:14] ---**
The design?
**[14:15] ---**
Go for a more sophisticated shape.
**[14:18] ---**
They're going to get blown up,
so who cares about the design?
**[14:27] ---**
Yo! Looks like you're making progress.
**[14:31] ---**
Matoriv!
**[14:32] ---**
Once you can cut the unseen,
**[14:35] ---**
your blade will become
three, or even five times more powerful.
**[14:39] ---**
Keep it up.
**[14:40] ---**
Wait, where's Popp?
**[14:42] ---**
Him? He's probably dead by now.
**[14:44] ---**
What?!
**[14:45] ---**
That little brat. What a pampered weenie.
**[14:48] ---**
His type never try
unless they're desperate.
**[14:51] ---**
That's why I left him
on the other side of the world.
**[14:56] ---**
Avan was always too soft for his own good.
**[15:01] ---**
He could never properly train
a crybaby like that.
**[15:04] ---**
He needs my kind of tough love.
**[15:08] ---**
*Sadist...*
**[15:14] ---**
*Can you hear me?!*
**[15:16] ---**
Little Disciples of Avan!
**[15:19] ---**
*How long do you think
you can hide from me?! Huh?!*
**[15:24] ---**
*You don't think your Princess
is safe all frozen, do you?!*
**[15:31] ---**
*Unfortunately, her life force
is getting drained in this ice!*
**[15:38] ---**
*Your Princess's life ends
tomorrow at sundown!*
**[15:43] ---**
*Hurry on back! Come on!*
**[15:46] ---**
Leona's going to die?!
I won't let that happen!
**[15:55] ---**
Get real! I'm not dragging everyone down!
**[16:01] ---**
Unless you defeat Flazzard
by sundown tomorrow,
**[16:05] ---**
*the Princess's life force will be drained
by the Forbidden Magic ice and she'll die.*
**[16:09] ---**
*But charging in during the day
is just what the enemy wants.*
**[16:14] ---**
We strike tonight.
**[16:18] ---**
Light the fuse,
and in five seconds... Kaboom!
**[16:20] ---**
We only have two, so be careful.
**[16:24] ---**
I guess we'll have to use
the ugly bombs after all.
**[16:27] ---**
If these don't work, we'll have to
destroy them by sword or magic.
**[16:31] ---**
What are you talking about?!
I made them! They're foolproof!
**[16:37] ---**
*That's why we're worried.*
**[16:40] ---**
How will we get to Valge Island?
Our Balloon Ship has sunk.
**[16:45] ---**
I have a small boat I use for fishing.
**[16:48] ---**
I'll fly it across with my magic,
just above the ocean.
**[16:53] ---**
That'll get us over the whirlpool.
**[16:55] ---**
Exactly. But the boat only holds four.
**[16:59] ---**
Then it'll be me and Maam and...
**[17:01] ---**
Me, of course! I built the bombs!
Of course I'm going!
**[17:07] ---**
I'll go, too!
**[17:09] ---**
Fighting for the Princess is
what the Papnica Troika are for!
**[17:14] ---**
Wait, Amy.
**[17:18] ---**
Apollo, you shouldn't move yet!
**[17:21] ---**
I cannot let Dai and his friends
carry our burden.
**[17:25] ---**
I shall go in your stead.
**[17:27] ---**
No! I will!
**[17:28] ---**
Hold on a second, you two.
**[17:33] ---**
The fourth seat is already taken.
**[17:35] ---**
Popp!
**[17:38] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
I couldn't get a clear image of the cave.
**[17:42] ---**
I made it to the Papnica temple
with my Zoom spell,
**[17:46] ---**
but from there it was a real pain
and it took a while.
**[17:53] ---**
But I made it back.
**[17:58] ---**
Good. You're the fourth.
**[18:08] ---**
Nothing beats Maam's Midheal!
**[18:11] ---**
This is the last help you'll get from me.
**[18:14] ---**
It'd be easy with Zoom,
but I've never been to that island.
**[18:18] ---**
If Popp does it, he'll take you to the top
of Valge Tower inside the field.
**[18:24] ---**
It's enough, Uncle.
**[18:26] ---**
Thank you for everything, Matoriv.
**[18:28] ---**
Save the thanks for when you win, idiot.
**[18:31] ---**
Right! I swear we'll win!
**[18:33] ---**
Everybody onboard!
**[18:38] ---**
Listen...
**[18:39] ---**
if I survive this,
I'd like to continue my training.
**[18:43] ---**
If I quit after all that,
it'd look like I ran off like some coward.
**[18:47] ---**
Like I'd let you run.
I'm still not finished with you.
**[18:54] ---**
Later, Mentor!
**[18:55] ---**
What do you mean by "Mentor"?
**[18:57] ---**
Master Avan is my one and only master.
**[19:00] ---**
A master and mentor are different!
**[19:02] ---**
Why are you splitting hairs like that?
**[19:04] ---**
Here we go.
**[19:08] ---**
When did Gomechan sneak onboard?
**[19:20] ---**
Go with the blessing
of the great gods of Papnica.
**[19:24] ---**
Don't die out there,
forgotten mementos of Avan.
**[19:30] ---**
This is fast!
We'll make it to the island in no time!
**[19:35] ---**
I guess they don't call him
a Grand Sorcerer for nothing!
**[19:41] ---**
Listen, I was just thinking...
**[19:44] ---**
how do we stop?
**[19:45] ---**
Oops.
**[19:46] ---**
Is something wrong?
**[19:48] ---**
I forgot to think about how they'd stop.
**[19:56] ---**
W-What do we do?!
**[19:57] ---**
D-Don't ask me!
**[19:59] ---**
We'll crash! We'll crash! We'll crash!
**[20:03] ---**
Woosh!
**[20:07] ---**
That's it! A Woosh spell as a brake!
**[20:09] ---**
Cast Woosh, Popp!
**[20:11] ---**
Don't you have Woosh
in your Magic Bullet Gun?!
**[20:14] ---**
Use Woosh! Use Woosh! Use Woosh!
**[20:16] ---**
Woosh!
**[20:25] ---**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[20:26] ---**
Oh come on, Mentor.
**[20:28] ---**
He talks big, but he always
screws up where it counts!
**[20:33] ---**
I tried to cast Woosh and it worked!
**[20:38] ---**
Let's split up.
**[20:40] ---**
I'll go to the Dark Flame Spire
with Baduck.
**[20:42] ---**
Right.
**[20:43] ---**
Then Maam and I'll take
the Dark Ice Spire.
**[20:45] ---**
Once the two Spires are destroyed
and the field is down,
**[20:49] ---**
we charge into Valge Tower!
**[20:54] ---**
Sorry about that. Come with us, Gomechan.
**[20:59] ---**
Let's go.
**[21:00] ---**
Stay safe, you two!
**[21:05] ---**
Here they come. The sad little flies
into the spider's web.
**[21:11] ---**
Mystvearn, are your soldiers ready?
**[22:20] ---**
*Kindness is the magic of kind people*
**[22:20] ---**

As I hesitate to even hesitate?*

*I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment*

**[23:33] ---**
*Dai and his friends managed
to reach Valge Island.*
**[23:37] ---**
*They split up
and headed for the two Spires.*
**[23:40] ---**
*But, waiting for them there*

THE DEATH-DEFYING SAVIOR
**[02:02] ---**
Dammit!
**[02:03] ---**
Why?! Why the hell?!
**[02:07] ---**
I'm the one who lured the Hero here!
So why am I left guarding the hostage?!
**[02:14] ---**
How'd you like to be shattered?!
Huh, little Princess?!
**[02:26] ---**
I guess I don't need to kill you now.
**[02:29] ---**
You've only got until sundown anyway.
**[02:51] ---**
Looks like there are guards.
**[02:54] ---**
Let's get rid of them!
**[02:55] ---**
Hey! So suddenly?!
**[02:57] ---**
Oh no! It's the Hero!
**[02:59] ---**
Avan Style Sword Technique, Wave Slash!
**[03:04] ---**
Run!
**[03:06] ---**
Baduck, hurry!
**[03:07] ---**
Right!
**[03:08] ---**
Okay, time for this!
**[03:12] ---**
If we can destroy this Spire
and Popp destroys the Dark Ice Spire,
**[03:16] ---**
Flazzard's Curse Field should disappear.
**[03:19] ---**
*I'm going to save you, Leona!*
**[03:21] ---**
Here we go!
**[03:24] ---**
Look out!
**[03:33] ---**
The Spire's... still standing!
**[03:37] ---**
Who did that?! Who interrupted us?!
**[03:46] ---**
Whoa! What are these guys?!
**[03:54] ---**
We're surrounded!
**[03:55] ---**
These monsters are different!
Was this a trap?!
**[04:03] ---**
Who are you?!
**[04:08] ---**
I'm Zaboera, Legion Commander of
the Mystic Legion of the Dark Army.
**[04:12] ---**
And this is Mystvearn,
Legion Commander of the Shadow Legion.
**[04:16] ---**
The Mystic Legion?!
**[04:18] ---**
The Shadow Legion?!
**[04:19] ---**
We knew you would split up
to come destroy the Spires.
**[04:25] ---**
It was the perfect opportunity
to wipe out you pesky gnats.
**[04:31] ---**
Then Popp and Maam...?!
**[04:37] ---**
Looks like we've fallen into a trap.
**[04:40] ---**
Do you think Dai and Baduck...?
**[04:42] ---**
We don't have time to worry about them!
**[04:46] ---**
We have to defeat...
**[04:49] ---**
So Dai is at the Dark Flame Spire.
How disappointing.
**[04:57] ---**
It can't be...!
**[05:01] ---**
It can't be...!
**[05:05] ---**
So be it. The Disciples of Avan
will die out today either way.
**[05:10] ---**
I suppose I'll just enjoy
crushing you worms.
**[05:14] ---**
Popp?
**[05:16] ---**
This... This voice...
is one I'll never forget!
**[05:29] ---**
Hadlar, the Dark Commander!
**[05:33] ---**
Not even a Hero can handle
this many enemies at once.
**[05:38] ---**
Learn to fear the Dark Army and die!
**[05:47] ---**
Very well! It's time for me to show off
the Papnica Single-Blade Style once again!
**[06:00] ---**
Baduck, try to fight just the Mages!
**[06:04] ---**
Watch out for their magic
and they're pretty weak!
**[06:08] ---**
G-Got it!
**[06:14] ---**
He's... He's the one
who killed Master Avan?!
**[06:18] ---**
Yeah. But I didn't expect
the Dark Commander himself to show up!
**[06:26] ---**
I thought I'd crush
all of you annoying creatures at once.
**[06:31] ---**
Sh-Shut up! Don't assume everything's
going to go as planned, Hadlar!
**[06:37] ---**
You're that little Mage
who was there when I killed Avan.
**[06:42] ---**
That's right!
I'm a student of Master Avan!
**[06:51] ---**
W-What's so funny?!
**[06:55] ---**
How hilarious! No, how very pathetic!
**[07:00] ---**
The scrawny little student
**[07:02] ---**
desperately fought all this way
to avenge his master...
**[07:08] ---**
only to end up dying a pitiful death!
**[07:13] ---**
S-Screw you! I may die,
but I won't go down without a fight!
**[07:18] ---**
I'll make you feel even a fraction of
the pain we felt when we lost our master.
**[07:23] ---**
That's right! We'll never forgive you
for killing our kind Master Avan!
**[07:29] ---**
Who are you?
**[07:31] ---**
I'm a student of Master Avan, too!
A Disciple of Avan!
**[07:35] ---**
You seem to have the wrong idea, girl.
**[07:39] ---**
I'm not the one who took Avan's life.
**[07:43] ---**
That primitive, ape-like emotion
called "kindness" was his undoing!
**[07:51] ---**
Why you...!
**[07:52] ---**
Maam, don't!
**[07:58] ---**
Run Maam!
He's formidable at hand-to-hand, too!
**[08:10] ---**
Maam!
**[08:13] ---**
Die.
**[08:25] ---**
*There's just too many of them!*
**[08:28] ---**
*In that case...!*
**[08:31] ---**
Avan...
**[08:39] ---**
Dai!
**[08:43] ---**
*H-He floats like a ghost,
but he's so strong!*
**[08:50] ---**
*Who is he?!*
**[08:56] ---**
Th-This is...
**[08:59] ---**
Dark Puppetry Aura Hand?!
**[09:03] ---**
B-But this was Hyunckel's skill!
**[09:08] ---**
You fool. Hyunckel may have learned
his sword skills from Avan,
**[09:15] ---**
but he learned how to control
Dark Aura from Mystvearn.
**[09:20] ---**
For controlling skeletons.
**[09:23] ---**
In other words, Mystvearn
is the originator of that skill!
**[09:29] ---**
*I-I can't move!*
**[09:32] ---**
Dai!
**[09:33] ---**
Whoops! You aren't
going anywhere, you old goat!
**[09:39] ---**
Shut up! I won't let
an old gremlin call me an old goat!
**[09:44] ---**
Having an old fossil like you
running around is even more annoying!
**[09:48] ---**
Let my words of death
lead you to an eternal slumber!
**[09:53] ---**
Thwack!
**[10:01] ---**
W-What is this creepy voice?!
**[10:05] ---**
These are words of death
calling to you from the netherworld.
**[10:09] ---**
When you succumb to them, your life ends!
**[10:15] ---**
Now die, die, die!
**[10:32] ---**
CRACKLE
ICE-TYPE SPELL
**[10:36] ---**
DARK PUPPETRY AURA HAND
**[10:50] ---**
Popp...
**[10:51] ---**
Dammit. Hadlar's spell
is even stronger than last time!
**[10:57] ---**
How?!
**[10:58] ---**
Isn't it obvious?
**[11:00] ---**
As a reward for killing Avan,
**[11:03] ---**
Dark King Vearn granted me a new body,
allowing me to power up!
**[11:08] ---**
In combat, spells, and everything!
**[11:14] ---**
In other words, I'm even stronger now
than when I killed Avan!
**[11:20] ---**
No...
**[11:22] ---**
So, now you see that
you have no hope for survival.
**[11:28] ---**
I'm sure Dai has already been pummeled
by the Mystic and Shadow Legions,
**[11:34] ---**
and is dead by now.
**[11:41] ---**
*It's no good.*
**[11:42] ---**
*We can't... We can't beat him!*
**[11:46] ---**
*Maybe if it was just Flazzard. But with
Hadlar and the other Legions here...*
**[11:52] ---**
*It's all over.*
**[11:54] ---**
You insects! For the crime of
standing up against our great Dark Army,
**[11:59] ---**
death is not enough!
**[12:03] ---**
Sizzle?!
**[12:05] ---**
Taste pain worse than death
from my inferno!
**[12:20] ---**
Maam!
**[12:22] ---**
*That's right... I can't give up!*
**[12:29] ---**
*If I give up,
who's going to protect Maam?!*
**[12:35] ---**
Burn to ashes together!
**[12:39] ---**
I have to protect Maam.
**[12:42] ---**
I have to go help Dai!
**[12:46] ---**
Sizzle!
**[12:49] ---**
I can't give up! Not until the very end!
**[13:02] ---**
What?!
**[13:09] ---**
I cast Sizzle!
**[13:14] ---**
I-Impossible!
**[13:23] ---**
Impossible! That brat's spell
overpowered my own?!
**[13:28] ---**
Lord Hadlar, are you alright?!
**[13:31] ---**
Shut up!
**[13:34] ---**
Now's my chance! They're disorganized!
**[13:37] ---**
What can I use?! Anything?!
**[13:39] ---**
Curse you, boy!
**[13:40] ---**
We'll take him!
**[13:42] ---**
All of you back off!
**[13:48] ---**
Sizzle!
**[14:00] ---**
I did it! Maam, did you see that?!
**[14:04] ---**
It was amazing.
I can't believe you cast Sizzle.
**[14:10] ---**
Me too. I wasn't even thinking.
**[14:14] ---**
It's all thanks to my mentor!
**[14:16] ---**
It was just one day of training,
but my attack spells increased in power!
**[14:23] ---**
*Thank you, Mentor!*
**[14:29] ---**
The Dark Ice Spire can come later.
Let's go help Dai and Baduck.
**[14:33] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:48] ---**
What a surprise.
How that snotty little brat has grown.
**[15:08] ---**
But now observe and know
that there's always a bigger fish!
**[15:15] ---**
No way! That's...!
**[15:18] ---**
Oh? You recognize this spell?
**[15:21] ---**
You've done your Mage homework.
**[15:24] ---**
Run, Maam!
**[15:26] ---**
Kasizz!
**[15:40] ---**
W-What's that?!
**[15:43] ---**
That is the sound of Lord Hadlar
using his most powerful spell, Kasizz.
**[15:49] ---**
Hadlar's here?!
**[15:51] ---**
The Dark Ice Spire is guarded by
Lord Hadlar himself and his minions.
**[15:57] ---**
Hadlar is fighting Popp and Maam?!
**[16:00] ---**
Darn it!
**[16:04] ---**
Futile! Pure futility!
**[16:06] ---**
No one can break free from
Mystvearn's Dark Puppetry Aura Hand!
**[16:12] ---**
Now let's see which of you dies first.
**[16:24] ---**
Yes!
**[16:31] ---**
Baduck!
**[16:34] ---**
Gomechan!
**[16:38] ---**
C-Curse you and your useless resistance!
**[16:46] ---**
This time, we'll end it all at once!
**[16:53] ---**
Gomechan, Baduck...
**[16:55] ---**
I'm not sure if I have the strength
to defend both of you.
**[17:00] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[17:01] ---**
Fear not! If we die, we die together!
**[17:07] ---**
All of you! Attack!
**[17:21] ---**
Wh-Who was that?!
Who dares to do such a thing?!
**[17:26] ---**
I do!
**[17:31] ---**
I-Impossible!
**[17:39] ---**
Beast King Crocodine!
**[17:43] ---**
Y-You! First you disappear
without a trace,
**[17:47] ---**
then you show up and drop a boulder
on us?! What's the meaning of this?!
**[17:53] ---**
I'm helping the Disciples of Avan.
**[17:55] ---**
W-What?!
**[17:58] ---**
I couldn't just sit back
and let you ambush them.
**[18:02] ---**
Have you lost your mind?!
**[18:04] ---**
All of you!
Take care of that traitor first!
**[18:10] ---**
Take care of me? You're joking!
**[18:12] ---**
As if you small fry
could defeat the Beast King!
**[18:24] ---**
What the heck is this giant monster?!
**[18:27] ---**
Crocodine!
**[18:29] ---**
Dai!
**[18:29] ---**
You were alive!
**[18:32] ---**
As you can see! I'm here to help you!
**[18:35] ---**
That's right! Popp and Maam are in danger!
**[18:38] ---**
Hadlar is...
**[18:39] ---**
Fear not. A powerful ally
is headed for the Dark Ice Spire.
**[18:43] ---**
And he's even more powerful than I am!
**[18:46] ---**
Huh?!
**[18:56] ---**
L-Lord Hadlar, you're safe...
**[18:59] ---**
Indeed.
**[19:07] ---**
They still remain.
**[19:09] ---**
Well, I had to hold back to spare
the Dark Ice Spire after all.
**[19:14] ---**
She's still breathing. I should
strangle her to death just in case.
**[19:19] ---**
Wa...
**[19:20] ---**
Wait...
**[19:23] ---**
You survived, too?
**[19:25] ---**
Don't worry. You'll soon
see each other in the afterlife.
**[19:31] ---**
Please...
**[19:32] ---**
I don't... I don't care
what happens to me.
**[19:38] ---**
Just...
**[19:41] ---**
Just, please, let her go.
**[19:45] ---**
Is this the "kindness" you speak of?
**[19:48] ---**
Please... Not Maam...
**[19:53] ---**
I see. You're in love with this girl.
**[20:02] ---**
This is great!
**[20:04] ---**
Please...
**[20:05] ---**
Knowing that,
I can't possibly let her live now.
**[20:10] ---**
You little maggot, you scarred my body.
**[20:14] ---**
Now watch
as the girl you love dies horribly.
**[20:22] ---**
This is the most fitting
punishment for you.
**[20:27] ---**
Don't...
**[20:29] ---**
I'll impale her body
on the top of the Dark Ice Spire.
**[20:35] ---**
Don't!
**[20:38] ---**
Please don't!
**[20:44] ---**
Maam!
**[21:02] ---**
The Dark Ice Spire fell?!
**[21:19] ---**
You're...!
**[21:27] ---**
The Dark Ice Spire...
**[21:28] ---**
Well done, Hyunckel.
**[21:30] ---**
So it really is Hyunckel!
**[21:32] ---**
Now, Dai, I'll shatter
the Dark Flame Spire!
**[21:35] ---**
You go on ahead to Valge Tower!
**[21:37] ---**
Right!
**[21:38] ---**
Go kick Flazzard's butt!
**[21:49] ---**
Hyunckel... you're alive?!
**[21:53] ---**
You...

HYUNCKEL VERSUS HADLAR
**[02:03] ---**
Hyunckel... you're alive?!
**[02:07] ---**
You...
**[02:26] ---**
Is this a dream? Or am I dead?
**[02:31] ---**
You're not dreaming. And you're not dead.
**[02:35] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[02:36] ---**
Maam.
**[02:37] ---**
You're alive! You...
**[02:41] ---**
Thank goodness!
**[02:47] ---**
Hey, Hyunckel!
I'm wounded over here! Help me out!
**[02:52] ---**
Have some medicinal herbs.
**[02:54] ---**
That bastard!
What happened to equal treatment?!
**[03:00] ---**
Explain this to me.
**[03:02] ---**
You were supposed to have died
with the fall of the Underground Palace.
**[03:06] ---**
That's right. I should have.
**[03:09] ---**
But I was saved
at the brink of death by one man.
**[03:15] ---**
*Truly, at the brink of death!*
**[03:31] ---**
*So you survived...*
**[03:32] ---**
...Crocodine.
**[03:34] ---**
My steel body is my one defining trait.
**[03:38] ---**
Plus your servants patched me up well.
**[03:41] ---**
I was barely alive
when this Garuda saved me.
**[03:46] ---**
I was the one who tried to kill you.
Why save me?
**[03:51] ---**
It was a warrior's mercy
that you ordered my treatment.
**[03:55] ---**
Mercy must be repaid in kind.
**[03:58] ---**
Besides, you must continue
to help Dai and his friends from now on.
**[04:04] ---**
If mercy was your intent,
you should have let me die.
**[04:09] ---**
Hm?
**[04:10] ---**
I ignored my own weakness
**[04:13] ---**
and turned my hate to my master, Avan,
and towards humanity.
**[04:18] ---**
My death would have
at least made up for my crimes!
**[04:22] ---**
Now, I have to live on in my shame!
**[04:28] ---**
Hyunckel.
**[04:29] ---**
I believe the worth of a man lies in
how much they can let go of the past.
**[04:37] ---**
Be it a life in shame, hated by all,
**[04:41] ---**
so long as you walk the path you believe,
isn't that enough?
**[04:46] ---**
The Garuda tells me Dai
and his friends have headed north.
**[04:50] ---**
Probably to Valge Island.
**[04:53] ---**
I'm going to go help them.
**[04:55] ---**
It's the least I can do after they
reminded me of a warrior's honor.
**[05:00] ---**
Wait!
**[05:03] ---**
You're right. My crimes aren't so small
that my death absolves them!
**[05:10] ---**
And you and Maam were the first people
to ever shed tears for me.
**[05:15] ---**
In order to repay those tears,
I must... I must...
**[05:20] ---**
I must continue to fight!
**[05:26] ---**
What's that?!
**[05:29] ---**
The Dark Armour Blade?!
**[05:31] ---**
It was lost in the fall of
the Underground Palace! How is it here?!
**[05:36] ---**
And it's completely restored!
**[05:39] ---**
They say a true weapon
chooses its wielder.
**[05:42] ---**
Perhaps this Dark Blade was drawn here
by your renewed Aura.
**[05:52] ---**
Amdo!
**[06:05] ---**
That's it!
**[06:06] ---**
So long as you have the will to fight,
that armour shall never die!
**[06:15] ---**
Thank you, Beast King!
**[06:19] ---**
Unbelievable!
**[06:21] ---**
I never trusted you, but for Crocodine
to betray us and join Dai!
**[06:26] ---**
You'll believe it when you hear him
destroy the Dark Flame Spire.
**[06:32] ---**
Maam, can you stand?
**[06:33] ---**
Yes.
**[06:34] ---**
Leave this to me.
Head to Valge Tower with Popp.
**[06:39] ---**
Dai should be on his way there.
**[06:41] ---**
Yes, but...
**[06:44] ---**
Well, okay then! Thanks!
Best of luck to you!
**[06:48] ---**
What are you doing, Popp?!
**[06:50] ---**
Forget him! He said go, so we're going!
**[06:54] ---**
*Like I'll let him touch you
a second longer!*
**[07:04] ---**
Traitors must die!
That's the law of the Dark Army!
**[07:10] ---**
I'll make your death slow and painful!
**[07:13] ---**
Now, how do you want to die?!
**[07:16] ---**
Hadlar, are you looking down on me?
**[07:19] ---**
Or are you too stupid to tell
how strong your opponents are?
**[07:23] ---**
What?
**[07:34] ---**
These scrubs aren't worth my time!
**[07:38] ---**
If you want to kill me,
do it by risking your own life!
**[07:42] ---**
Y-You brat!
**[07:56] ---**
Don't let him any closer
to the Dark Flame Spire!
**[07:59] ---**
Get back, old man!
**[08:04] ---**
Beast King Anguish Blast!
**[08:15] ---**
No! The Dark Flame Spire!
**[08:27] ---**
I feel lighter! The Curse Field is gone!
**[08:32] ---**
What an astounding attack!
**[08:36] ---**
But "Anguish Blast"
sounds a little too ominous.
**[08:41] ---**
Why don't you call it,
"Beast King Redemption Blast"?
**[08:47] ---**
That's not half bad! Thanks, old man!
**[08:52] ---**
Oh, man. After all that trouble,
there goes my Curse Field.
**[08:57] ---**
What is Master Hadlar doing?
**[09:03] ---**
The Dark Flame Spire has fallen.
It's your turn now.
**[09:08] ---**
Lord Hadlar!
**[09:09] ---**
Stay back, all of you!
I'll show him my true power!
**[09:14] ---**
I'm no longer worthy
to call Avan, "Master."
**[09:18] ---**
To claim to avenge my master
would be impudent.
**[09:22] ---**
However, for taking the life
of my father, Bartos,
**[09:27] ---**
I cannot allow you to live!
**[09:29] ---**
You snotty whelp! Watch your tongue!
**[09:32] ---**
Like father, like son, you both defy me!
**[09:36] ---**
Begone!
**[09:45] ---**
Impossible! My Kaboom spell...?!
**[09:48] ---**
Have you forgotten?
My armour repels all attack spells.
**[09:54] ---**
Prepare yourself, Hadlar!
**[10:01] ---**
Die!
**[10:12] ---**
There's nothing in this world
my Hell's Claws can't penetrate!
**[10:17] ---**
Good! That's more like it!
**[10:22] ---**
Dai!
**[10:23] ---**
Popp! Maam!
**[10:27] ---**
It was Hyunckel! Hyunckel saved us!
**[10:29] ---**
Talk about an oasis in a desert!
**[10:31] ---**
That's great! So Hyunckel
is a Disciple of Avan after all!
**[10:36] ---**
I'm sure Master Avan must be proud.
**[10:41] ---**
Let's go! To save Leona!
**[10:43] ---**
Right!
**[10:46] ---**
*Be careful, Hyunckel.*
**[10:55] ---**
They're evenly matched!
No, Lord Hadlar seems at a disadvantage!
**[11:04] ---**
*He's not the Dark Commander for nothing!
He has the power to back it!*
**[11:08] ---**
*He's stronger than I imagined!
No wonder Dark King Vearn likes him!*
**[11:13] ---**
*And without my spells,
I'm at a disadvantage!*
**[11:17] ---**
*If I can do something about that armour...*
**[11:22] ---**
*I see...*
**[11:25] ---**
*He's coming for the final showdown!*
**[11:29] ---**
Bloody Scryde!
**[11:40] ---**
That was rather disappointing.
**[11:42] ---**
It's over, Hadlar.
**[11:44] ---**
No!
**[11:45] ---**
Lord Hadlar lost?!
**[11:57] ---**
Impossible! How can you move
with your vitals pierced?!
**[12:01] ---**
Unfortunately for you, I have a heart
on both sides of my chest.
**[12:06] ---**
I was waiting for you to lower your sword!
**[12:09] ---**
Now let me fill your armour
with my flames of hell!
**[12:14] ---**
Kafrizz!
**[12:29] ---**
Hyunckel...
**[12:34] ---**
BLOODY SCRYDE
**[12:39] ---**
FIVE FINGER FLARES
**[12:45] ---**
How do you like my flames?
Agonizing, aren't they?
**[12:49] ---**
They won't go out
until your body is burned away!
**[12:54] ---**
Curse you and your dirty tricks!
**[13:02] ---**
*I can't... I can't move my body!*
**[13:06] ---**
So much for your mighty sword.
**[13:09] ---**
Meanwhile, I still have my secret weapon!
**[13:14] ---**
Now watch as I unleash the full power
of my greatest spell!
**[13:19] ---**
Can your punctured armour withstand it?!
**[13:23] ---**
Take this!
**[13:25] ---**
Kasizz!
**[13:44] ---**
I've won!
**[13:46] ---**
Stubborn little brat! He's finally dead!
**[13:51] ---**
Lord Hadlar has won!
**[13:53] ---**
Lord Hadlar, are you hurt?
**[13:54] ---**
It's nothing.
I merely lost one of my hearts.
**[14:00] ---**
Is this all that survived?
**[14:01] ---**
Yes, Lord!
**[14:02] ---**
Good! We're going after Dai
and we'll slaughter them all!
**[14:07] ---**
Yes, Lord!
**[14:11] ---**
*No! Dai and the others are in danger!*
**[14:14] ---**
*I have to stop them!*
**[14:16] ---**
*But I don't have any way to fight!*
**[14:21] ---**
*What can I do? What weapon can I use?!*
**[14:25] ---**
*Life itself.*
**[14:28] ---**
*Avan?!*
**[14:30] ---**
Life energy. Basically, your Aura.
**[14:40] ---**
What is this attack?!
**[14:43] ---**
I just focused my Aura.
**[14:46] ---**
As a Warrior, you cannot cast spells.
**[14:49] ---**
If your sword is lost,
the only weapon left is life itself.
**[14:56] ---**
In such a situation, use your life energy.
**[14:59] ---**
In other words, you fight with your Aura.
**[15:01] ---**
My Aura...
**[15:02] ---**
But an Aura is offensive life energy.
It's very, very difficult to control.
**[15:09] ---**
If your heart is full of malice,
it can put your own life at risk.
**[15:17] ---**
I don't need such a skill.
**[15:20] ---**
All I have to do is defeat my enemy
with my sword, right?
**[15:26] ---**
*Back then, I laughed at Avan's teachings.*
**[15:30] ---**
*But now, I understand.*
**[15:34] ---**
*Now I know I can do it!*
**[15:36] ---**
It's almost impressive how stubborn
the Students of Avan can be.
**[15:40] ---**
Wait a minute, Lord Hadlar!
**[15:43] ---**
We can take a half-dead enemy like him!
**[15:50] ---**
*Huh? Has he given up?*
**[15:58] ---**
*What is that? An extreme amount of energy
is gathering at Hyunckel's forehead!*
**[16:04] ---**
*Wait, is this... his Aura?!*
**[16:06] ---**
*If it means stopping Hadlar here,
then I'll gladly use all of my life!*
**[16:13] ---**
*Avan, my master! Give this ungrateful
student his final strength!*
**[16:19] ---**
N-No! Get away!
**[16:22] ---**
Grand Cross!
**[16:34] ---**
Dai, that light!
**[16:37] ---**
Yeah!
**[16:38] ---**
What is it, you two?
**[16:40] ---**
It's just like back then.
**[16:44] ---**
*The light from when Master Avan
fought Hadlar and died!*
**[16:52] ---**
Megante!
**[17:03] ---**
It was just like that.
**[17:05] ---**
Like the final flash of life itself.
**[17:09] ---**
No...!
**[17:12] ---**
Hey! Where are you going, Dai?!
**[17:15] ---**
Where do you think?! To go help Hyunckel!
**[17:18] ---**
Hold on!
We don't know if that was him or not!
**[17:23] ---**
Besides, he can't use spells!
He can't cast Megante and die!
**[17:29] ---**
But that's no ordinary light!
Win or lose, he won't be alright!
**[17:34] ---**
Isn't that right, Maam?!
**[17:36] ---**
What are you thinking?!
What about Princess Leona?!
**[17:39] ---**
There's still time until sundown!
**[17:41] ---**
Stop it! There's nothing you can do now!
**[17:44] ---**
No! At the very least, I have to go!
**[17:47] ---**
You can't, Dai!
**[17:49] ---**
We're going to Valge Tower! We have to!
**[17:53] ---**
Why?! Are you abandoning Hyunckel?!
**[17:56] ---**
That's what he wants!
**[18:00] ---**
Hyunckel and Crocodine
came here to help us.
**[18:05] ---**
It's all so you can save Princess Leona!
**[18:10] ---**
If you turn back now, all they've done,
their very lives will be for nothing!
**[18:18] ---**
Besides, Hyunckel is a Disciple of Avan.
**[18:22] ---**
He'd risk his life to save his friends
no matter what!
**[18:27] ---**
Just as our Master did!
**[18:32] ---**
*They're strong... They're so strong,
both Hyunckel and Maam.*
**[18:37] ---**
*I can't compete...*
**[18:39] ---**
All right, Maam.
**[18:41] ---**
Right now, our purpose is
to save Leona as soon as possible!
**[18:46] ---**
Let's go! The tower is right there!
**[18:50] ---**
*Hyunckel, Crocodine, thank you!
I promise I'll save Leona!*
**[18:56] ---**
*So please, please don't die out there!*
**[19:08] ---**
I somehow managed to withstand it.
**[19:10] ---**
How lucky I had these minions
to use as shields.
**[19:20] ---**
Is this the power
of that Grand Cross attack?
**[19:23] ---**
What terrifying power!
**[19:31] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[19:40] ---**
I see.
**[19:43] ---**
I get it now!
Grand Cross was an incomplete attack!
**[19:48] ---**
As a result, it drew upon
all the Aura Hyunckel had!
**[19:54] ---**
All that's remains is this soulless husk!
**[20:01] ---**
After all your trouble, it looks like
I get the last laugh, Hyunckel!
**[20:10] ---**
I'll just cleave your head off,
and massacre Dai and his friends,
**[20:14] ---**
and there'll be no one left in my way!
**[20:19] ---**
You can grind your teeth in the afterlife!
**[20:22] ---**
Along with Avan, Bartos,
and your friends that follow you!
**[20:30] ---**
*Avan...*
**[20:32] ---**
*Bartos...*
**[20:36] ---**
*Master!*
**[20:38] ---**
*Dad!*
**[20:48] ---**
This is the end! Die, Hyunckel!
**[20:57] ---**
I-Impossible!
**[20:59] ---**
*He had spent all of his Aura completely!*
**[21:10] ---**
*Even unconscious, he still retains
the last of his will to fight!*
**[21:16] ---**
*Well done, Hyunckel.
You are indeed, a true...*
**[21:20] ---**
*warrior...!*
**[21:37] ---**
Man, Master Hadlar is useless!
**[21:41] ---**
He can't even beat a few brats...
**[21:45] ---**
Oh well. I guess this means
Dai's head will be worth even more!
**[21:50] ---**
The Hero's Party that the Dark Army
working together couldn't beat.
**[21:54] ---**
If I obliterate them,
the more glory for me!
**[22:20] ---**
*Kindness is the magic of kind people*
**[22:20] ---**
*yasashisa wa yasashii hito ga tsukaeru mahou*
**[22:26] ---**
*Then do I have no choice
But to just be a normal person?*
**[22:26] ---**
*jaa boku wa tada no hito de iru shikanaino?*
**[22:33] ---**
*I'm not sure*
**[22:33] ---**
*doudarou*
**[22:38] ---**
*Even if the place I call home may change*
**[22:38] ---**
*kaeru basho wa ne kawatte yuku kedo*
**[22:44] ---**
*Listen to me, Mother*
**[22:44] ---**
*naa kaasan boku wa*
**[22:46] ---**
*I will never change those I protect*
**[22:46] ---**
*mamoru hito wo kaetari shinai*
**[22:53] ---**
*I wonder what you'd say*
**[22:53] ---**
*anata wa nannte iukana*
**[22:57] ---**
*At times I can be cowardly and small*
**[22:57] ---**
*tokiyori yowaki de chippoke de*
**[23:01] ---**
*What would you say to me
As I hesitate to even hesitate?*
**[23:01] ---**
*mayou koto ni mo mayou boku ni nannte iukana*
**[23:08] ---**
*Unlike the today that I sought*
**[23:08] ---**
*sagashite ita kyou to chigatte*
**[23:14] ---**
*I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment*
**[23:14] ---**
*ochikonnde shimau boku wo warau no darou*
**[23:34] ---**
*Saved by Hyunckel and Crocodine,
Dai's party reaches Valge Tower at last.*
**[23:40] ---**
*But again, they are at the mercy
of Flazzard's powerful attack.*
**[23:45] ---**
*When all hope seems lost, Dai
remembers the words of his master, Avan!*

*Next time on*

THE FINAL AVAN STYLE TECHNIQUE
**[01:59] ---**
Zaboera!
**[02:04] ---**
Wait a minute! I'm not...!
**[02:07] ---**
Take this!
**[02:11] ---**
I'm not him!
**[02:14] ---**
A Morph spell?!
**[02:18] ---**
It's too bad that
that wasn't the real me.
**[02:22] ---**
I'll eventually show you dimwits
that I'm on a different level up here.
**[02:29] ---**
Sneaky little imp.
**[02:33] ---**
Mystvearn's gone, too.
**[02:38] ---**
What did I...
**[02:41] ---**
*Where's Hadlar?*
**[02:42] ---**
*I remember killing him...*
**[02:48] ---**
Valge tower. We're finally here.
**[02:51] ---**
We have to hurry
or Leona won't make it! Let's charge in!
**[02:55] ---**
I knew you'd say that.
**[02:57] ---**
Let's go!
**[02:58] ---**
Halt!
**[03:02] ---**
The Blizzblaze Legion!
**[03:04] ---**
We won't let you get to Master Flazzard!
**[03:07] ---**
Get them!
**[03:12] ---**
Woosh!
**[03:17] ---**
Dai?!
**[03:17] ---**
We don't have time to hang around here!
**[03:21] ---**
-Popp!
-Right!
**[03:23] ---**
Kafrizz!
**[03:29] ---**
The Frostburn!
**[03:30] ---**
Okay! Now for the Dancing Flames!
**[03:32] ---**
Maam!
**[03:33] ---**
Got it!
**[03:34] ---**
Here goes! Crackle!
**[03:48] ---**
We did it!
**[03:50] ---**
Anything's possible
if we work together, huh?
**[03:55] ---**
Okay! Let's go!
**[03:56] ---**
Right!
**[04:07] ---**
Flazzard!
**[04:08] ---**
Sitting back and waiting
with the hostage just isn't my style.
**[04:14] ---**
Here you go!
**[04:15] ---**
That's one down!
**[04:25] ---**
That axe...!
**[04:27] ---**
Your savagery ends here!
**[04:30] ---**
Crocodine!
**[04:31] ---**
So you were helping them!
**[04:35] ---**
It wasn't just me.
**[04:39] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[04:40] ---**
See? I told you.
You can't kill a guy like him.
**[04:45] ---**
Wait. Does that mean he beat Hadlar?!
**[04:49] ---**
Bastard.
**[04:51] ---**
I remembered I owed you
much like I did Hadlar.
**[04:56] ---**
So I came back from the depths of hell.
**[05:00] ---**
There's no escape now.
**[05:08] ---**
What's wrong?! You giving up?!
**[05:10] ---**
I guess so.
**[05:12] ---**
Huh?!
**[05:13] ---**
My Blizzblaze Curse Field's gone.
**[05:16] ---**
And with two Legion Commanders
on your side, even I can't win.
**[05:22] ---**
I guess it's time to face the fact.
**[05:25] ---**
He's acting awfully well-behaved.
**[05:28] ---**
*Flazzard's not one
to say something like that.*
**[05:32] ---**
So you'll admit defeat and release
the Princess of Papnica?
**[05:37] ---**
Don't be stupid.
**[05:40] ---**
Even if I lose everything,
I'll never give up a chance at victory!
**[05:47] ---**
Then what was that about facing the fact?!
**[05:49] ---**
I meant the fact that
I won't get through this unscathed.
**[05:52] ---**
The final attack I'm about to use
hurts me real bad.
**[05:59] ---**
I'd prefer not to use it, but...
**[06:04] ---**
Dark King Vearn, grant me glory and victory.
**[06:14] ---**
What?!
**[06:15] ---**
You're throwing away your medal?!
**[06:18] ---**
What's so important about that?
**[06:22] ---**
The day Sovereign Rock Castle
was completed...
**[06:29] ---**
*That's right.*
**[06:30] ---**
*It was the first time we
Six Legion Commanders had gathered.*
**[06:37] ---**
Oh great Dark King Vearn,
**[06:40] ---**
the Six Legion Commanders to lead
the Dark Army are before you now.
**[06:46] ---**
This Sovereign Rock Castle shall be our
base as we plunge the world into darkness,
**[06:50] ---**
and offer it to you, King Vearn.
**[06:54] ---**
Well done, Hadlar. I am most pleased.
**[06:59] ---**
My king.
**[07:00] ---**
To celebrate the Six Legion Commanders,
I shall grant a gift.
**[07:07] ---**
A gift?
**[07:11] ---**
W-What the...?!
**[07:12] ---**
Huh?
**[07:14] ---**
What's that?
**[07:16] ---**
That is the Infernal Emblem. Consider it
the greatest symbol of loyalty to me.
**[07:23] ---**
Now, whoever believes
themself worthy may take it.
**[07:28] ---**
What intense flames!
**[07:30] ---**
But we must prove our loyalty
to King Vearn!
**[07:53] ---**
Well done, Flazzard.
**[07:59] ---**
That's when he gained the title
"Blitz Captain of the Dark Army."
**[08:06] ---**
That medal is a symbol of his glory.
**[08:10] ---**
To him, it's almost worth life itself.
**[08:12] ---**
And he threw it away?!
**[08:16] ---**
Who needs past glory?!
If it will let me claim new victory...
**[08:21] ---**
I'm willing...
**[08:24] ---**
Look out!
**[08:25] ---**
...to risk my life!
**[08:36] ---**
What?!
**[08:38] ---**
He self-destructed?!
**[08:39] ---**
Self-destructed? With this weak a blast?
**[08:42] ---**
Even in death he seeks glory. How pitiful.
**[08:48] ---**
Ow.
**[08:49] ---**
Ow!
**[08:51] ---**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[08:55] ---**
This is... a fragment of Flazzard's body!
**[08:58] ---**
What?!
**[09:04] ---**
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
**[09:06] ---**
Could it be...?!
**[09:07] ---**
Yeah! It really can be!
**[09:11] ---**
Each one of these rocks is me!
**[09:18] ---**
These are bullets of rock!
They're Rock Bullets!
**[09:22] ---**
Curse you!
**[09:31] ---**
Crocodine!
**[09:33] ---**
What do you think you're doing?!
**[09:37] ---**
It doesn't matter how strong you are!
**[09:41] ---**
The more you break,
the more of me there is!
**[09:46] ---**
This is my final attack method,
Rock Bullet Shrapnel Detonation!
**[09:51] ---**
Then I'll just freeze them all!
**[09:53] ---**
Crackle!
**[10:01] ---**
Ow, ow, ow, ow!
**[10:04] ---**
Whoops. He has ice rocks.
**[10:08] ---**
Popp!
**[10:10] ---**
Don't, Dai!
**[10:11] ---**
Looks like you're up, big Hero!
**[10:15] ---**
Earth Slash!
**[10:27] ---**
Die!
**[10:30] ---**
Dai!
**[10:38] ---**
MAGIC BULLET GUN
**[10:43] ---**
FIVE FINGER FLARES
**[10:46] ---**
Dai!
**[10:50] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[10:56] ---**
Bastard!
**[10:59] ---**
Dai, aim for his core!
**[11:01] ---**
His core?
**[11:02] ---**
That's right. He said all of these rocks
are him, but that's not true.
**[11:07] ---**
*He's an energy rock life-form created by
Hadlar using Forbidden Magic.*
**[11:13] ---**
*There should only be one core rock
that's the source of his life.*
**[11:17] ---**
*You have to find it and break it!*
**[11:20] ---**
His core...
**[11:22] ---**
But how can I find a single rock
among all of these?
**[11:26] ---**
Unless you do, Flazzard can't be beaten!
**[11:31] ---**
What are you talking about?!
**[11:34] ---**
Nothing can defeat my ultimate attack!
**[11:38] ---**
Darn it!
**[11:41] ---**
It's not good! I can't find it!
**[11:49] ---**
No human can shatter my core hidden here!
**[11:55] ---**
*I can't beat him!*
**[11:56] ---**
*How can I cut an enemy I can't see?!*
**[12:00] ---**
Once you can cut the unseen,
**[12:03] ---**
your blade will become
three, or even five times more powerful.
**[12:08] ---**
*An enemy I can't see!*
**[12:10] ---**
*That's why he had me train!*
**[12:13] ---**
*The air... in other words,
you slice the emptiness.*
**[12:23] ---**
Dai...
**[12:25] ---**
A Heal spell...
**[12:28] ---**
Looks like hiding behind Crocodine
spared you some damage.
**[12:38] ---**
Flazzard?!
**[12:44] ---**
*His flames and cold are dwindling!*
**[12:46] ---**
I look pathetic to you, don't I?
**[12:50] ---**
This final attack method
drains my life drastically.
**[12:55] ---**
Why do you risk death just to win?!
**[12:59] ---**
My being has no history.
**[13:03] ---**
It's been barely a year
since Master Hadlar created me.
**[13:08] ---**
That's why I want achievements!
**[13:11] ---**
Achievements no one can beat whether
they live to be a hundred or a thousand!
**[13:18] ---**
You're so pitiful.
**[13:21] ---**
Can't you prove yourself
through something other than fighting?
**[13:25] ---**
Who asked for your pity?!
**[13:28] ---**
The thrill of victory!
The jealous glares of my peers!
**[13:33] ---**
They are what fulfill me!
**[13:36] ---**
If you all would just die,
then everything will be perfect!
**[13:41] ---**
Wait!
**[13:46] ---**
Dai!
**[13:48] ---**
Don't you see that you can't win?
**[13:52] ---**
I'm going to use my final attack now.
**[13:56] ---**
It's the greatest technique of
my master, Avan.
**[14:01] ---**
I've never successfully done it before.
**[14:06] ---**
If I fail, you win.
**[14:10] ---**
But...
**[14:12] ---**
if I can do it... I win!
**[14:17] ---**
You're just bluffing!
**[14:19] ---**
Dai!
**[14:20] ---**
That attack...!
**[14:34] ---**
Here goes, kid!
**[14:37] ---**
Blizzblaze Shrapnel Detonation!
**[14:49] ---**
He didn't dodge?!
**[14:52] ---**
Avan Style Sword Technique...
**[14:55] ---**
Air Slash!
**[15:05] ---**
Did it work?!
**[15:18] ---**
If that pathetic attack is his greatest
technique, I guess Avan's not much, huh?
**[15:24] ---**
*No... I failed.*
**[15:27] ---**
*Is it...*
**[15:29] ---**
*Is it really beyond me, Master?*
**[15:37] ---**
What is it, Dai?
**[15:40] ---**
That last one, the Air Slash,
I don't get it.
**[15:44] ---**
Oh come on.
Master's explained it a ton of times.
**[15:47] ---**
Then did you understand it?
**[15:49] ---**
I'm a Mage, so I don't have to.
**[15:54] ---**
That sort of thinking is why
your progress is so slow.
**[15:59] ---**
What would you do
against an evil swordsman?
**[16:03] ---**
Then again, an evil swordsman
wouldn't use this skill.
**[16:07] ---**
Huh? Why not?
**[16:09] ---**
Air Slash requires an Aura of Justice.
**[16:13] ---**
An Aura of Justice?
**[16:15] ---**
*There are monsters in this world
created by dark magic.*
**[16:20] ---**
*Air Slash is an attack
that vanquishes such evil beings.*
**[16:26] ---**
To do it, first...
**[16:28] ---**
you charge your blade
with the Aura of Justice.
**[16:33] ---**
And then...
**[16:36] ---**
you have to release it towards
the enemy's true form.
**[16:41] ---**
The difficult part is determining
where the enemy's true form is.
**[16:46] ---**
Unlike the weak spots of normal monsters,
you can't see it with your eyes.
**[16:53] ---**
Did you get that?
**[16:55] ---**
Kind of?
**[16:57] ---**
Don't worry about it.
I'm sure you'll pick it up eventually.
**[17:03] ---**
How to see an unseen enemy.
**[17:10] ---**
*It's no good, Master!*
**[17:13] ---**
*I can't... see it!*
**[17:16] ---**
I'll burn you to a crisp!
**[17:21] ---**
Dai, run!
**[17:22] ---**
This is the end!
**[17:32] ---**
What the hell?!
**[17:35] ---**
His Air Slash wasn't a complete failure!
**[17:38] ---**
No way! You're telling me
that attack grazed my core?!
**[17:44] ---**
Okay! I'll do it until I succeed!
**[17:48] ---**
In that case, one more time!
**[17:50] ---**
Don't! If you use
that attack again, it'll kill you!
**[17:54] ---**
You'll all die first!
**[17:57] ---**
Besides, the risk of getting burned
is what makes gambling fun!
**[18:05] ---**
He's blinded by the glory of victory!
**[18:09] ---**
Here goes, Dai!
It's a showdown between our final attacks!
**[18:14] ---**
Rock Bullet Shrapnel Detonation!
**[18:19] ---**
Air Slash!
**[18:40] ---**
It's not working!
**[18:42] ---**
Looks like with this many targets,
there's no hope for any accidental hits!
**[18:47] ---**
Looks like I win this fight!
**[18:53] ---**
Dai!
**[18:55] ---**
Dammit!
**[18:59] ---**
Is it no good?!
Isn't there anything Dai can do?
**[19:03] ---**
There is!
**[19:05] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[19:06] ---**
Dai's forgetting that Air Slash
is an attack that slices the empty!
**[19:11] ---**
Unlike the earth and the sea, you can't
see the empty no matter how hard you try!
**[19:17] ---**
I'm going to...
**[19:20] ---**
remind him of that!
**[19:22] ---**
Dai! Over here!
**[19:24] ---**
Huh?!
**[19:25] ---**
W-What are you doing?!
**[19:27] ---**
Dai! Look with your inner eye!
**[19:29] ---**
My inner eye?!
**[19:31] ---**
As an attack, your Air Slash
is already complete!
**[19:35] ---**
But it's not yet a mastered technique!
**[19:37] ---**
Once you see your enemy
with your inner eye,
**[19:41] ---**
it will be a true technique!
**[19:42] ---**
It'll become a true Air Slash!
**[19:44] ---**
Find him with... my inner eye!
**[19:47] ---**
Air Slash strikes dark energy
with light energy to destroy evil!
**[19:53] ---**
That's why I could never master it!
**[19:56] ---**
Now is the time for you to inherit
the greatest Avan Style technique!
**[20:02] ---**
You morons!
**[20:03] ---**
As if such a fantasy attack
could defeat my ultimate attack!
**[20:11] ---**
Dai!
**[20:12] ---**
Look out! Run!
**[20:14] ---**
Dai!
**[20:17] ---**
*That's right.*
**[20:20] ---**
*I can't find it
because I keep looking for it.*
**[20:24] ---**
*Sense it!*
**[20:27] ---**
*The life energy of everyone here!*
**[20:34] ---**
*I feel a warm presence.
That must be Maam.*
**[20:38] ---**
*There's Hyunckel.*
**[20:41] ---**
*The big one is Crocodine.*
**[20:44] ---**
*There's Popp over there.*
**[20:47] ---**
*Something's coming!*
**[20:49] ---**
*A giant evil energy!*
**[20:51] ---**
*It's approaching me,
giving off malice everywhere!*
**[20:57] ---**
*I can see it!*
**[20:58] ---**
*This is...*
**[21:01] ---**
*his core!*
**[21:04] ---**
*This is...*
**[21:05] ---**
*This is...*
**[21:08] ---**
*Flazzard!*
**[21:15] ---**
Air Slash!
**[21:35] ---**
Looks like another dud...
**[21:42] ---**
That's my... My core!
**[21:46] ---**
It's done.
**[21:48] ---**
I've hit...
**[21:50] ---**
my target!
**[22:20] ---**
*Kindness is the magic of kind people*
**[22:20] ---**
*yasashisa wa yasashii hito ga tsukaeru mahou*
**[22:26] ---**
*Then do I have no choice
But to just be a normal person?*
**[22:26] ---**
*jaa boku wa tada no hito de iru shikanaino?*
**[22:33] ---**
*I'm not sure*
**[22:33] ---**
*doudarou*
**[22:38] ---**
*Even if the place I call home may change*
**[22:38] ---**
*kaeru basho wa ne kawatte yuku kedo*
**[22:44] ---**
*Listen to me, Mother*
**[22:44] ---**
*naa kaasan boku wa*
**[22:46] ---**
*I will never change those I protect*
**[22:46] ---**
*mamoru hito wo kaetari shinai*
**[22:53] ---**
*I wonder what you'd say*
**[22:53] ---**
*anata wa nannte iukana*
**[22:57] ---**
*At times I can be cowardly and small*
**[22:57] ---**
*tokiyori yowaki de chippoke de*
**[23:01] ---**
*What would you say to me
As I hesitate to even hesitate?*
**[23:01] ---**
*mayou koto ni mo mayou boku ni nannte iukana*
**[23:08] ---**
*Unlike the today that I sought*
**[23:08] ---**
*sagashite ita kyou to chigatte*
**[23:14] ---**
*I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment*
**[23:14] ---**
*ochikonnde shimau boku wo warau no darou*
**[23:34] ---**
*Dai's Air Slash struck Flazzard.*
**[23:37] ---**
*Just when victory is at hand, Mystvearn,
the Shadow Vizier appears before Dai.*
**[23:44] ---**
*After turning into Dark Aura,
a spiteful Flazzard attacks Dai again.*
**[23:50] ---**
*Dai and Flazzard's final showdown begins.*
**[23:54] ---**
*DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai,*
**[23:56] ---**
*"Now I Slice Everything"*
**[23:58] ---**
*The adventure continues!*

**[00:11] ---**
*Truly loving myself*

I've forgotten that I still haven't found*

*And dream my dream*
**[01:27] ---**
*yume wo miru*
**[01:31] ---**
*And know my dream*
**[01:31] ---**
*yume wo shiru*
**[01:42] ---**
NOW I SLICE EVERYTHING
**[01:51] ---**
*Why am I alive?*
**[01:55] ---**
*I thought Hyunckel pierced both my hearts,
killing me.*
**[02:01] ---**
*And this...*
**[02:03] ---**
That is due to Dark Aura.
**[02:06] ---**
I see. You used your Dark Aura power
to resurrect me.
**[02:14] ---**
Is my body even more powerful than before?
**[02:17] ---**
That is the secret of the body
King Vearn has bestowed you with.
**[02:22] ---**
Should you die,
**[02:24] ---**
so long as the Dark Aura of King Vearn
or myself remains, you can be resurrected.
**[02:29] ---**
And with far greater power than before.
**[02:33] ---**
Is that why you were placed under me?
**[02:36] ---**
Hadlar, your body belongs
to the almighty King Vearn.
**[02:42] ---**
You can no longer choose your own death.
**[02:45] ---**
*Should you die, you will return
only to fight on.*
**[02:49] ---**
*For your master, King Vearn.*
**[02:53] ---**
Gladly.
**[02:56] ---**
Where are you going?
**[02:58] ---**
Back to the battlefield.
**[03:00] ---**
*For a silent man of shadows,
he's certainly become quite chatty.*
**[03:08] ---**
It's done.
**[03:09] ---**
I've hit...
**[03:10] ---**
my target!
**[03:18] ---**
*The power of that core keeps the hot and
cold sides of Flazzard's body together.*
**[03:25] ---**
*With it now gone...*
**[03:27] ---**
Crap! I can't maintain my body!
**[03:31] ---**
If I remain together I'll vaporize myself!
**[03:43] ---**
Now, Popp!
**[03:44] ---**
Right!
**[03:46] ---**
Sizzle!
**[03:53] ---**
Take that!
**[03:54] ---**
Well done, Dai!
**[03:58] ---**
So, what about him?
**[04:01] ---**
I'll pulverize him
so he can't rebuild himself!
**[04:05] ---**
Wait! Please don't!
**[04:07] ---**
Prepare yourself!
**[04:17] ---**
The Shadow Vizier...
**[04:19] ---**
Mystvearn!
**[04:21] ---**
Mystvearn, you've gotta help me! Please!
**[04:25] ---**
I can't just die like this! Do something!
**[04:38] ---**
What the hell is that?
**[04:40] ---**
The ultimate armour of my Shadow Legion.
**[04:45] ---**
If you would become burning Dark Aura,
in other words, a Dark Fire Energy,
**[04:52] ---**
it can be yours.
**[04:53] ---**
What?! That would mean
becoming your servant!
**[04:57] ---**
I'm not doing that!
**[05:02] ---**
If... If I really merge with that,
I can beat them?
**[05:08] ---**
You will be unrivaled.
**[05:14] ---**
Fine!
**[05:15] ---**
Do it!
**[05:53] ---**
The power! The power is overwhelming!
**[05:57] ---**
Such unbelievable, extraordinary power!
**[06:00] ---**
This is amazing!
**[06:02] ---**
Stand back! I am
the great swordsman of Papnica...
**[06:08] ---**
W-What is that?!
**[06:10] ---**
Baduck! Gomechan!
**[06:12] ---**
Oh no! They chose
the worst time to show up!
**[06:29] ---**
W-What?!
**[06:39] ---**
Crocodine!
**[06:40] ---**
Old timer!
**[06:44] ---**
Crackle!
**[06:46] ---**
My spell's not working!
**[06:54] ---**
This body is amazing!
**[06:57] ---**
It's stronger and faster
than I used to be!
**[07:00] ---**
And it's immune to spells!
**[07:05] ---**
*I'll be taking you out later. But first...*
**[07:10] ---**
I need to crush this little brat!
**[07:14] ---**
He's coming!
**[07:16] ---**
Get back, Maam. He's after me.
**[07:20] ---**
You can't! You don't have the strength!
**[07:26] ---**
You've got some guts, kid!
**[07:29] ---**
You're begging me to send you
to the afterlife with one punch!
**[07:35] ---**
Dai!
**[07:41] ---**
What...?!
**[07:42] ---**
Dai!
**[07:43] ---**
It's okay, Maam. I can win.
**[07:47] ---**
I don't know why,
but I don't feel like I can lose to him.
**[07:52] ---**
You can't lose to me?!
**[07:53] ---**
You do nothing but
spout your annoying words!
**[07:57] ---**
That's why I can't stand you,
you little brat!
**[08:06] ---**
Why you...!
**[08:10] ---**
He's reading the movements
of all those powerful attacks!
**[08:14] ---**
And with his eyes closed!
**[08:16] ---**
It's complete.
**[08:19] ---**
By obtaining Air Slash, Dai's completed
his Avan Style Sword Technique.
**[08:25] ---**
It means that super attack
is also complete.
**[08:29] ---**
By super attack, you mean...?!
**[08:32] ---**
Dai subconsciously understands
its destructive power.
**[08:35] ---**
That's why he knows he can win!
**[08:43] ---**
You're kidding! This is impossible!
I'm supposed to be invincible!
**[08:47] ---**
I've got the ultimate body!
I can't lose to this brat!
**[08:52] ---**
With this power and this durability...
**[08:56] ---**
if I lose now...
**[09:00] ---**
I'll look like an idiot!
**[09:03] ---**
*Slice the earth...*
**[09:05] ---**
*Slice the sea...*
**[09:08] ---**
*Slice the air...*
**[09:10] ---**
*And slice everything...*
**[09:12] ---**
*I was able to do Air Slash.*
**[09:15] ---**
*I know... I know I can slice everything!*
**[09:21] ---**
Here it comes!
**[09:25] ---**
Watch me, Master Avan!
**[09:28] ---**
This is... This is a true...
**[09:31] ---**
Avan Strash!
**[09:35] ---**
He did it!
**[09:39] ---**
Magnificent.
**[09:44] ---**
Oh wow! So that's the power
of the complete Avan Strash!
**[09:49] ---**
It rivals Avan, no,
it might be even more powerful.
**[09:53] ---**
Well done.
**[09:57] ---**
Dai!
**[10:07] ---**
Y-You lied to me, you bastard!
**[10:10] ---**
How is that the ultimate armour?!
**[10:13] ---**
That was indeed
the ultimate armour of my army.
**[10:19] ---**
If it was destroyed,
**[10:21] ---**
it merely means your foe's attack
was that much stronger.
**[10:26] ---**
Please! Give me another chance!
**[10:29] ---**
Mystvear--
**[10:35] ---**
Who does such a thing to their own ally?
**[10:39] ---**
*Did Mystvearn use Flazzard
to test Dai's strength?*
**[10:46] ---**
*It looks like he's truly
the most dangerous among the Dark Army.*
**[10:51] ---**
Let's hurry! To the Princess in the tower!
**[10:54] ---**
Oh! That's right!
**[10:55] ---**
Now that that monster is dead, the ice
of his Forbidden Magic should be gone!
**[11:00] ---**
He was a right bastard, but that was
a pretty horrible way to go.
**[11:06] ---**
Should we gather the fragments
and make a grave?
**[11:09] ---**
No need.
**[11:12] ---**
That's his gravestone.
**[11:19] ---**
AVAN STRASH
**[11:23] ---**
DARK PUPPETRY AURA HAND
**[11:29] ---**
Huh?! Why?!
**[11:31] ---**
What's the meaning of this?!
**[11:33] ---**
It hasn't melted at all!
**[11:36] ---**
No, it's started to melt.
**[11:38] ---**
Then why?!
**[11:40] ---**
It seems we were too late.
**[11:43] ---**
Too late?!
**[11:45] ---**
Flazzard is dead
and his Forbidden Magic is dispelled.
**[11:48] ---**
But it appears the Princess doesn't have
the strength to break free of its effects.
**[11:55] ---**
What?!
**[11:57] ---**
Princess! Princess!
**[12:02] ---**
*Your Princess' life ends
tomorrow at sundown!*
**[12:07] ---**
Sizz!
**[12:13] ---**
It's barely melted!
**[12:15] ---**
In that case... Sizzle!
**[12:18] ---**
Popp, hang in there!
**[12:20] ---**
You can do it!
**[12:22] ---**
It's no good!
A normal spell can barely melt it!
**[12:27] ---**
Then I'll have to risk it
and try shattering it with this!
**[12:31] ---**
A-And what if you
shatter the Princess, too?!
**[12:36] ---**
Is there anything else we can do?
**[12:39] ---**
I know!
**[12:41] ---**
This contains a Sizz spell.
**[12:43] ---**
If we charge it with a Sizzle spell,
maybe it can fire an even greater heat?
**[12:48] ---**
I've never charged
more that one spell, though.
**[12:51] ---**
If you do that,
your Magic Bullet Gun might break!
**[12:56] ---**
What are you talking about?!
This is the Princess' life here!
**[13:00] ---**
The Magic Bullet Gun isn't just some item!
**[13:04] ---**
Master Avan made it.
It's all that's left of him!
**[13:11] ---**
Let's try it.
**[13:13] ---**
Master said this weapon
was for helping people.
**[13:18] ---**
I'm sure he made it for times like this!
**[13:22] ---**
Okay. Fine.
**[13:25] ---**
Hand it over.
**[13:30] ---**
Huh?
**[13:31] ---**
Huh?
**[13:32] ---**
What's wrong, Popp?!
**[13:36] ---**
He's out of Magic Power!
**[13:37] ---**
Hey Popp! You can't give up!
You're the only one who can use Sizzle!
**[13:51] ---**
*If I really do have a mysterious power
like everyone says...*
**[13:58] ---**
*then let me use that power,
not to fight...*
**[14:03] ---**
*but to save a life.*
**[14:06] ---**
*To save Leona's life!*
**[14:12] ---**
What is that mark?!
**[14:15] ---**
That's the mystic power within Dai!
**[14:20] ---**
But it's not coming from anger!
**[14:23] ---**
It's responding to something
other than battle!
**[14:27] ---**
Sizzle!
**[14:31] ---**
It's charged!
**[14:32] ---**
Maam!
**[14:33] ---**
Right!
**[14:40] ---**
Please...
**[14:56] ---**
Leona!
**[15:02] ---**
Leona... She's alive!
**[15:05] ---**
She's alive!
**[15:07] ---**
Thank goodness!
**[15:10] ---**
Thank goodness.
**[15:13] ---**
*I'm sorry, Magic Bullet Gun.*
**[15:15] ---**
*But it's okay, right?*
**[15:18] ---**
*Thanks to you, a person's life was saved.*
**[15:23] ---**
*Thank you for everything.*
**[15:26] ---**
Hey, you lot! Are you alive?!
**[15:29] ---**
That voice...?!
**[15:31] ---**
Mentor!
**[15:33] ---**
Okay! The food's ready!
**[15:35] ---**
Where does this...
**[15:36] ---**
A feast! A victory feast!
**[15:40] ---**
Food goes there! Fruits over there!
**[15:43] ---**
The Papnica soldiers who were scattered
have begun to gather.
**[15:47] ---**
They heard you rescued the Princess.
**[15:52] ---**
You really saved us by fixing
the Balloon Ship and coming for us.
**[15:57] ---**
-Princess!
-The Princess!
**[15:59] ---**
Princess!
**[16:06] ---**
Leona!
**[16:08] ---**
Leona!
Thank goodness you're all better!
**[16:12] ---**
Your face was all pale like a King Squid
so I was worried about you!
**[16:19] ---**
W-What, Leona? Have you forgotten me?
**[16:24] ---**
Honestly! Give me a break, Dai!
**[16:27] ---**
It's supposed to be the emotional reunion
between the Princess and her rescuer!
**[16:31] ---**
Try to read the room!
**[16:32] ---**
Huh? Huh?!
**[16:36] ---**
Cheers!
**[16:39] ---**
You have all fought bravely.
**[16:43] ---**
Especially Dai and the other
Disciples of Avan.
**[16:46] ---**
No words can express our gratitude.
**[16:50] ---**
My father was right to send
Master Avan as a Hero's Tutor.
**[16:56] ---**
The King of Papnica was killed
during the Dark Army's attack.
**[17:02] ---**
Since then, the Princess has united
the people and continued to fight.
**[17:09] ---**
Tell me, Dai, is that swordsman also
a Disciple of Avan?
**[17:13] ---**
Huh?!
**[17:14] ---**
Oh crap!
**[17:15] ---**
Uh, well, of course he is!
**[17:17] ---**
Then I should thank him.
**[17:20] ---**
Princess Leona, there's something
I have to tell you.
**[17:24] ---**
Uh, Leona, he's, well...
**[17:26] ---**
I am...
**[17:27] ---**
The Undead Legion Commander
of the Dark Army, Hyunckel!
**[17:31] ---**
The Dark Army?!
**[17:32] ---**
The Undead Legion Commander?!
**[17:39] ---**
That idiot!
**[17:40] ---**
Is that true?
**[17:42] ---**
Wait a minute!
He's not in the Dark Army anymore!
**[17:46] ---**
That's right! He's awakened to his duty
as a Disciple of Avan and helped us!
**[17:51] ---**
No matter how I may have atoned for it,
**[17:54] ---**
the fact remains that, as Undead Legion
Commander, I destroyed this country.
**[17:59] ---**
I must be punished.
**[18:03] ---**
Princess Leona, I ask that you judge me.
**[18:07] ---**
You can cut me down now if be it.
**[18:09] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[18:11] ---**
I was blessed to be saved
and to lend my strength to Dai.
**[18:17] ---**
I can die fulfilled.
**[18:20] ---**
Hyunckel...
**[18:22] ---**
as you wish, I Leona, Princess of Papnica,
shall pass judgment upon you.
**[18:28] ---**
You will spend the rest of your life,
serving your duty as a Disciple of Avan.
**[18:36] ---**
You will risk your life to fight
for friendship, justice, and love.
**[18:41] ---**
And you must never disparage yourself
or become lost in the past
**[18:46] ---**
and cease from moving forward.
**[18:49] ---**
Leona!
**[18:51] ---**
That is all. Is that understood?
**[18:54] ---**
I accept this.
**[18:57] ---**
Let us all move forward together!
**[19:01] ---**
*She's more capable than she looks.*
**[19:04] ---**
*Papnica just might rise from the ashes.*
**[19:13] ---**
Ah, there you are.
**[19:15] ---**
You.
**[19:16] ---**
We were looking for you.
What are you doing drinking alone here?
**[19:23] ---**
A monster shouldn't
be drinking with humans.
**[19:28] ---**
Don't be ridiculous! A hero
is a hero no matter their race!
**[19:34] ---**
Now drink up!
**[19:36] ---**
Cheers to the Princess' savior!
**[19:48] ---**
Delicious.
**[19:50] ---**
This is the most delicious drink
I've ever had!
**[19:53] ---**
Mentor! I can't breath here!
**[19:55] ---**
I'm sorry, Princess. I didn't know
Uncle Matoriv would cut loose like that.
**[20:01] ---**
There's no need to be formal.
You can call me Leona, not "Princess."
**[20:06] ---**
Otherwise, I'll start
calling you "Ms. Maam."
**[20:10] ---**
Please don't!
**[20:15] ---**
Hyunckel! What's wrong!?
Where are you going?!
**[20:18] ---**
We were going to leave unannounced...
**[20:21] ---**
to Sovereign Rock Castle.
**[20:22] ---**
Sovereign Rock Castle?
**[20:23] ---**
The fortress of the Dark Army.
**[20:26] ---**
It's north of Papnica,
deep in the mountains of Guildmain.
**[20:31] ---**
Crocodine and I are going
to check their movements.
**[20:35] ---**
Why don't we all go together?
**[20:37] ---**
It'll be easier with just us.
**[20:40] ---**
Please trust us.
**[20:42] ---**
I had a wonderful time today.
**[20:45] ---**
Give my regards to Dai
and the people of Papnica.
**[20:49] ---**
We'll meet again, Maam.
**[20:52] ---**
Take care.
**[21:08] ---**
*This man is a monster!*
**[21:11] ---**
*Even Carl Kingdom,
with its dozens of powerful knights,*
**[21:15] ---**
*is on the brink of ruin
after only five days!*
**[21:19] ---**
I see.
**[21:20] ---**
That boy Dai seems quite impressive.
**[21:24] ---**
He managed to fight off
the whole Dark Army.
**[21:27] ---**
He's a strange boy
with a mysterious power.
**[21:31] ---**
When this mark shines on his forehead,
**[21:35] ---**
he exhibits this amazing power...
**[21:38] ---**
A mark?!
**[21:42] ---**
Zaboera, does that mark
resemble the face of a dragon?
**[21:48] ---**
A dragon?
**[21:50] ---**
*Now that you mention it,
it does seem similar.*
**[21:53] ---**
Damn you, Hadlar!
I know what you're up to!
**[22:20] ---**
*Kindness is the magic of kind people*
**[22:20] ---**
*yasashisa wa yasashii hito ga tsukaeru mahou*
**[22:26] ---**
*Then do I have no choice
But to just be a normal person?*
**[22:26] ---**

**[22:33] ---**
*I'm not sure*

*Even if the place I call home may change*

*I will never change those I protect*
**[22:46] ---**

**[22:53] ---**
*I wonder what you'd say*
**[22:53] ---**
*anata wa nannte iukana*
**[22:57] ---**
*At times I can be cowardly and small*
**[22:57] ---**
*tokiyori yowaki de chippoke de*
**[23:01] ---**
*What would you say to me
As I hesitate to even hesitate?*
**[23:01] ---**
*mayou koto ni mo mayou boku ni nannte iukana*
**[23:08] ---**
*Unlike the today that I sought*
**[23:08] ---**
*sagashite ita kyou to chigatte*
**[23:14] ---**
*I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment*
**[23:14] ---**
*ochikonnde shimau boku wo warau no darou*
**[23:33] ---**
*Dai and friends defeated Flazzard
and rescued Leona.*
**[23:37] ---**
*As they prepare for their next battle,*
**[23:39] ---**

leads Maam to a decision.*

MAAM'S DECISION
**[01:54] ---**
Hold still. Just a little longer.
**[01:57] ---**
Yes.
**[02:02] ---**
It's no good.
**[02:03] ---**
Even for you?
**[02:04] ---**
Whoever made this is a genius.
It's completely beyond me.
**[02:09] ---**
I see.
**[02:10] ---**
Everybody come check it out!
**[02:12] ---**
What's going on?!
**[02:13] ---**
Lady Marin of the Troika...!
**[02:22] ---**
Is that Fullheal?
**[02:24] ---**
That's right. The greatest Heal Spell
that the Princess can cast.
**[02:29] ---**
It can cure severe injuries.
**[02:34] ---**
There. You're all better.
**[02:36] ---**
Thank you so much for doing this.
**[02:40] ---**
It's nothing. A friend in need and all.
**[02:44] ---**
Princess.
**[02:45] ---**
I'm so glad, Marin.
**[02:47] ---**
Sister!
**[02:50] ---**
Leona's so amazing.
**[02:52] ---**
Obviously.
She's a Sage in training after all.
**[02:56] ---**
She can even use attack spells,
though not as strong as the Troika.
**[03:00] ---**
She's truly an all-around spell caster!
**[03:04] ---**
What's wrong, Maam?
**[03:06] ---**
I'm going to talk with Uncle Matoriv.
**[03:09] ---**
Maybe he can fix my Magic Bullet Gun.
**[03:12] ---**
Hey! Maam?!
**[03:24] ---**
Looks like your Magic Power's increased.
**[03:27] ---**
Don't let that surprise you!
**[03:30] ---**
Sizz!
**[03:35] ---**
Popp! Hang in there!
**[03:39] ---**
Crack.
**[03:44] ---**
Boom.
**[03:47] ---**
Oh no!
**[03:57] ---**
The Flight Spell, Levizoom.
When did you learn that?
**[04:01] ---**
It's easy if you know Zoom!
**[04:04] ---**
Levizoom.
**[04:13] ---**
Don't get cocky.
**[04:14] ---**
I may be old, but in a one-minute
one-on-one fight
**[04:17] ---**
there isn't a being alive
who can beat me at magic.
**[04:24] ---**
Nasty old geezer!
**[04:26] ---**
Hey, Matoriv, can't you teach me
some amazing spells, too?
**[04:30] ---**
I'm having you do basic meditation.
**[04:34] ---**
But you're teaching Popp
and he's improving so much!
**[04:39] ---**
Fool. You don't need to know
the same spells as Popp.
**[04:45] ---**
Huh?!
**[04:47] ---**
How come?!
**[04:49] ---**
A Hero can do anything.
**[04:50] ---**
But a Warrior is stronger,
and a Mage can do more magic.
**[04:58] ---**
A Hero is a jack-of-all-trades
and master of none.
**[05:04] ---**
But a Hero does possess an ultimate weapon
that no one else has.
**[05:10] ---**
Huh?! What's that?
**[05:11] ---**
Isn't it obvious?
**[05:14] ---**
A Hero's weapon is courage.
**[05:16] ---**
Courage?
**[05:17] ---**
All you need is the courage
to face any enemy. That's all.
**[05:22] ---**
If you want magic,
this one will improve on his own.
**[05:27] ---**
That makes a party.
That's what companions are for.
**[05:31] ---**
Aw.
**[05:33] ---**
*Courage, huh?
I suppose that's something I don't have.*
**[05:37] ---**
*A weapon of my own.
That's it. Without that...*
**[05:44] ---**
I didn't do anything yet!
**[05:46] ---**
Your mere presence oozes salaciousness!
**[05:50] ---**
Then I'll just hide my presence.
**[05:52] ---**
Why you...!
**[05:56] ---**
Honestly, the one thing you take after
your father, Roka, is your strength.
**[06:02] ---**
*Strength? My father's strength...*
**[06:09] ---**
*Papnica Kingdom is gradually rebuilding.*
**[06:12] ---**
*Hearing Dai beat the Dark Army,*
**[06:15] ---**
the citizens are returning.
**[06:17] ---**
The temple repairs will soon be complete.
**[06:21] ---**
After that, we can start on the palace.
**[06:24] ---**
I see. Things seem to be going well.
**[06:27] ---**
Which leaves us.
**[06:30] ---**
The Dark Army's fortress is here
in the mountains of Guildmain.
**[06:34] ---**
According to Maam, Crocodine and Hyunckel
went on a reconnaissance mission.
**[06:39] ---**
What should we do?
**[06:41] ---**
Currently, we lack weapons and manpower.
**[06:45] ---**
Rather than attack,
we should focus on building our strength.
**[06:48] ---**
Okay. Then let's all
go look for new weapons.
**[06:52] ---**
That sounds good. Right, Maam?
**[06:56] ---**
What's wrong, Maam?
**[06:59] ---**
Listen, everyone. I've been thinking...
**[07:05] ---**
I think I should go
my own way for a while.
**[07:10] ---**
What?! How come?! Why so suddenly?!
**[07:14] ---**
With my Magic Bullet Gun broken,
I can't use spells to attack.
**[07:18] ---**
Plus Leona is far better at Heal Spells.
**[07:22] ---**
At this rate, I'm going end up
being a burden.
**[07:27] ---**
That's not true!
**[07:29] ---**
Don't be so sure.
**[07:31] ---**
Leona?
**[07:32] ---**
We'll likely be facing
far more powerful enemies from now on.
**[07:36] ---**
Without greater power,
you really may end up being a burden.
**[07:41] ---**
Leona, that's a little harsh.
**[07:43] ---**
You never hold back, Leona.
**[07:48] ---**
I really like that about you.
**[07:55] ---**
That's why I thought
I should return to Romos to train.
**[08:00] ---**
To find something only I can do.
**[08:02] ---**
What's something only you can do?
**[08:06] ---**
Martial arts.
**[08:07] ---**
Martial arts?!
**[08:08] ---**
Right. I figured I'd become
a Martial Artist!
**[08:13] ---**
A Martial Artist?!
**[08:23] ---**
Hyunckel and Crocodine have betrayed us,
and Flazzard is dead.
**[08:27] ---**
With the Six Legion Commanders
now three, our forces are halved.
**[08:39] ---**
What's that?
**[08:41] ---**
This melody is the Reaper Flute!
**[08:51] ---**
See, I told you!
Hadlar's army is falling apart!
**[08:56] ---**
Good boy, Piroro.
You were wise to inform me.
**[09:06] ---**
Good evening!
**[09:09] ---**
Greetings, inhabitants of Sovereign
Rock Castle. Let me introduce myself.
**[09:14] ---**
KILLVEARN
**[09:14] ---**
My name is Killvearn.
**[09:16] ---**
I'm Piroro!
**[09:17] ---**
Th-This is Killvearn?!
**[09:19] ---**
Surely you've heard of him!
The personal assassin of Dark King Vearn!
**[09:24] ---**
The deadly reaper of the Dark Army
that silently erases
**[09:28] ---**
those who cross King Vearn!
**[09:31] ---**
And why is the reaper here
in Sovereign Rock Castle?!
**[09:35] ---**
Has someone's incompetence
warranted a visit?
**[09:38] ---**
This is surprising, Mist.
I haven't heard you speak in decades.
**[09:44] ---**
Surprise, surprise!
**[09:46] ---**
I've seen you remain silent for centuries
when there's nothing to say.
**[09:54] ---**
You're the one who talks to much, Kill.
**[09:56] ---**
Perhaps.
**[09:59] ---**
*Do these two know each other?!*
**[10:01] ---**
And now, Hadlar, I hear your performance
has been slipping as of late.
**[10:08] ---**
That's right!
He's been botching things up!
**[10:10] ---**
Ever since he failed to kill Dai the Hero,
Legion Commanders have fallen,
**[10:14] ---**
Romos and Papnica were reclaimed.
It's a whole mess!
**[10:19] ---**
And recently, he took the whole army
and was still beaten by Dai!
**[10:24] ---**
Silence!
**[10:26] ---**
Is it true you let
Dai and his friends beat you?
**[10:31] ---**
The plan to kill him
is still ongoing! In time...
**[10:36] ---**
Then you'd better hurry up.
**[10:39] ---**
King Vearn is a patient man,
but even he has his limits.
**[10:43] ---**
If you should fail again...
**[10:46] ---**
If I fail, then what?!
**[10:49] ---**
Do I have to say it? This. Get it?
**[10:55] ---**
Then have no fear!
I'll wipe out those brats in no time!
**[11:00] ---**
By my own hand!
**[11:01] ---**
Not so fast!
**[11:04] ---**
The next to fight Dai is me,
Dragon Master General Baran!
**[11:13] ---**
FULLHEAL
HEAL-TYPE SPELL
**[11:18] ---**
MAGIC BULLET GUN
**[11:20] ---**
Baran?!
**[11:22] ---**
*It's too soon!
Has he already destroyed Carl Kingdom?!*
**[11:26] ---**
It's our savior Baran! How cool!
**[11:30] ---**
Oh. You've been saving
Dragon Master General Baran.
**[11:35] ---**
Then I guess there's no issue.
**[11:37] ---**
Wait, Baran! In order to regain
the Dark King's trust, I should...
**[11:42] ---**
Dark Commander,
I grow tired of your excuses.
**[11:48] ---**
I know why you seek
to keep me away from Dai.
**[11:52] ---**
What?!
**[11:54] ---**
That boy, Dai,
**[11:56] ---**
is a Dragon Knight, isn't he?!
**[11:59] ---**
A Dragon Knight?! From the legends?!
**[12:03] ---**
*He finally knows!*
**[12:06] ---**
So, will you leave Dai to me?
**[12:08] ---**
No! No, no!
**[12:11] ---**
As Dark Commander, I order you!
You will do nothing!
**[12:15] ---**
Besides, there is no proof
that he's really a Dragon Knight!
**[12:19] ---**
I merely need to see it for myself.
**[12:21] ---**
And I said no!
**[12:24] ---**
Stop!
**[12:25] ---**
How dare you!
**[12:27] ---**
I believe I know what's going on, Hadlar.
**[12:30] ---**
If this Dai really is a Dragon Knight,
you can't let Baran near him, right?
**[12:40] ---**
Oh well, you can all squabble
on your own time.
**[12:45] ---**
I'd like to finish what I came here for.
**[12:48] ---**
That's...
**[12:50] ---**
the Key of Vearn!
**[12:52] ---**
Crocodine and Hyunckel, was it?
**[12:55] ---**
Those two know the location
of Sovereign Rock Castle.
**[12:59] ---**
So King Vearn ordered me
to move it immediately.
**[13:03] ---**
Move it?!
**[13:04] ---**
So that's why...
**[13:16] ---**
It finally stands!
**[13:27] ---**
Sovereign Rock Castle moves!
**[13:30] ---**
And now, let's all enjoy
a little globe-trotting!
**[13:34] ---**
Whee! Whee!
**[13:49] ---**
Maam...
**[13:50] ---**
Why doesn't she just train with us?
**[13:55] ---**
It's a decision she reached
after much thought.
**[13:58] ---**
Besides, I've heard deep in the mountains
of Romos lives a "God of Martial Arts."
**[14:06] ---**
Who cares about some God of Martial Arts!
**[14:09] ---**
Just let her go off and
be a Martial Artist or whatever!
**[14:12] ---**
What are you so sour about?
**[14:15] ---**
Popp's actually sad
because he really likes Maam.
**[14:20] ---**
And you can shut your mouth!
**[14:22] ---**
Oh really? Then why don't you
just tell her how you feel?
**[14:27] ---**
You won't be seeing her
for a while anyways.
**[14:31] ---**
For... a while...
**[14:35] ---**
It doesn't matter.
She's already into someone else.
**[14:40] ---**
And that's why you're all sour?
Is that supposed to be kindness?
**[14:45] ---**
Besides, if you die in battle,
this will be your final farewell to her.
**[14:52] ---**
She'll never know how you feel.
Are you fine with that?
**[14:57] ---**
*This is... our final farewell?*
**[15:02] ---**
*I...*
**[15:07] ---**
*I...*
**[15:09] ---**
Maam! Wait!
**[15:12] ---**
And off he goes! What will happen now?!
**[15:16] ---**
Leona, you're enjoying this, aren't you?
**[15:21] ---**
Maam!
**[15:23] ---**
Popp?
**[15:27] ---**
What's wrong?
**[15:28] ---**
You're going to Nayle Village
in Romos, right?
**[15:31] ---**
I'll take you there with Zoom.
**[15:35] ---**
What will he do?
Will he be able to tell her?
**[15:39] ---**
That was mean, Leona.
To push Popp like that.
**[15:43] ---**
That's not true.
I said what I said for his benefit.
**[15:49] ---**
It's not good for one's mental health
to keep things bottled up.
**[15:54] ---**
Really?
**[15:58] ---**
I'm sorry, Popp.
**[15:59] ---**
Huh? You're not going to Nayle Village?
**[16:02] ---**
You said Romos, so I thought...
**[16:05] ---**
Our battle isn't over yet.
**[16:08] ---**
I'm not returning there until we defeat
the Dark Army and avenge Master Avan.
**[16:15] ---**
Oh...
**[16:16] ---**
Besides, the God of Martial Arts is
said to live deep in the Romos mountains.
**[16:21] ---**
I trained in the Romos mountains
with Mentor!
**[16:25] ---**
I can get there with Zoom!
**[16:27] ---**
But...
**[16:28] ---**
Oh come on. We're friends, right?
**[16:32] ---**
Okay. I guess I'll take you up on it.
**[16:35] ---**
Good!
**[16:39] ---**
R-Ready?
**[16:45] ---**
Zoom!
**[16:48] ---**
Whoa! He even put his arm around her!
**[16:52] ---**
Not a bad job at all!
**[16:54] ---**
*Good luck, Maam. We'll be waiting.*
**[17:05] ---**
Ow!
**[17:06] ---**
Sorry. My landings still suck.
**[17:10] ---**
Huh? This isn't the Romos mountains.
**[17:14] ---**
Huh?
**[17:15] ---**
This is...
**[17:18] ---**
the Dark Forest?!
**[17:20] ---**
Why did we end up here?!
**[17:22] ---**
Oh! This is...
**[17:25] ---**
where we first met!
**[17:27] ---**
Oh!
**[17:35] ---**
That's right. A mental image
is the key to Zoom spells.
**[17:39] ---**
I guess this place
is really important to...
**[17:43] ---**
I remember. The first thing we did
when we met was fight.
**[17:48] ---**
I'll never forget it.
**[17:54] ---**
*The timing feels right.*
**[17:57] ---**
*This is my chance to tell her!*
**[18:00] ---**
You know...
**[18:01] ---**
Huh?
**[18:02] ---**
You're amazing, Popp.
**[18:04] ---**
How?
**[18:05] ---**
I mean, it took us days by boat
from Romos to Papnica.
**[18:09] ---**
Now you can come back in an instant.
**[18:13] ---**
It's nothing impressive.
**[18:15] ---**
When we first met, I couldn't imagine
you doing something like this.
**[18:20] ---**
To be honest, at first I thought
you were just a selfish coward.
**[18:26] ---**
I-I can't argue with that.
**[18:29] ---**
*But, through every battle,
you grew so strong and so brave.*
**[18:36] ---**
*It made me realize
how hard you were trying.*
**[18:39] ---**
*You grew strong so fast
and learned new spells,*
**[18:44] ---**
and saved me again and again.
**[18:47] ---**
Even back when we fought Hadlar...
**[18:49] ---**
Maam...
**[18:51] ---**
That's why, after that battle,
I decided I wanted to catch up with you.
**[19:00] ---**
I can't have you rescuing me
all the time, right?
**[19:06] ---**
Popp?
**[19:08] ---**
It's okay, Maam. It was nothing.
**[19:11] ---**
You don't have to feel that way at all.
**[19:14] ---**
I'd gladly throw my life away
for you any time.
**[19:20] ---**
Huh?
**[19:22] ---**
I want to tell you that...
**[19:26] ---**
I...
**[19:27] ---**
"I..."?
**[19:28] ---**
I...
**[19:34] ---**
I think you're the best companion ever!
**[19:39] ---**
Popp...
**[19:41] ---**
See you, Maam.
**[19:46] ---**
I promise I'll be back.
You'll be shocked how strong I become.
**[19:51] ---**
If you show up looking like
some muscle-bound gorilla,
**[19:55] ---**
I'll pretend I don't know you.
**[19:58] ---**
You're already not much to look at now.
**[20:01] ---**
W-What?!
**[20:05] ---**
Best of luck out there!
Try not to become a muscle-bound gorilla!
**[20:14] ---**
Thank you, Popp.
**[20:17] ---**
*This is how it should be!*
**[20:20] ---**
*I can't tell her yet!*
**[20:22] ---**
*I'm not at strong or brave
as she thinks I am!*
**[20:28] ---**
*I need to get even stronger!*
**[20:31] ---**
What do you think will happen?
**[20:33] ---**
I think there's a 70 to 80% chance
that he gets shot down.
**[20:38] ---**
You really are enjoying this.
**[20:43] ---**
W-What?!
**[20:45] ---**
Sovereign Rock Castle is gone!
**[20:48] ---**
How is this possible?!
**[20:49] ---**
Look there!
**[20:53] ---**
Sovereign Rock Castle has moved!
**[20:55] ---**
Are you saying the castle
sprouted legs and walked away?!
**[20:59] ---**
It's not entirely impossible...
**[21:02] ---**
considering Dark King Vearn's
Supercharged Dark Energy.
**[21:07] ---**
Crocodine, you need to inform
Dai and the others of this.
**[21:11] ---**
And what about you?
**[21:14] ---**
I'm going to follow
those giant footprints.
**[21:17] ---**
I feel something terrible
is going to happen.
**[21:23] ---**
Where are we?
**[21:25] ---**
Almost at the northernmost land
known as the Field of Death.
**[21:29] ---**
Things are smooth, Captain.
**[21:35] ---**
What was that?!
**[21:37] ---**
That was close.
**[21:50] ---**
It's huge! It's enormous!
**[21:55] ---**
A giant made of rocks!
**[22:20] ---**
*yasashisa wa yasashii hito ga tsukaeru mahou*

OFF TO THE DEPARTMENT STORE
**[01:59] ---**
What? You want to join Dai's party?
**[02:04] ---**
With this last battle with the Dark Army,
we saw that we have much to learn.
**[02:10] ---**
We wish to join them and hone our skills.
**[02:15] ---**
Both of you wait!
I believe that should be my role!
**[02:19] ---**
Amy, you too?!
**[02:21] ---**
I will not let you have this!
**[02:24] ---**
I will join them on their journey!
**[02:26] ---**
Hey! That's not fair, Apollo!
**[02:28] ---**
That's right!
**[02:30] ---**
How is it not fair?!
**[02:31] ---**
-What give you the right?!
-In these matters...
**[02:34] ---**
What a handful.
**[02:36] ---**
Stop it, all of you!
You three have a duty to protect Papnica!
**[02:45] ---**
Besides, I'm going with Dai.
**[02:49] ---**
What?!
**[02:50] ---**
What did you just say?
**[02:53] ---**
Huh? Uh, nothing.
**[02:58] ---**
Leona, can I talk to you?
**[03:01] ---**
What is it, Dai?
**[03:05] ---**
A new weapon?
**[03:07] ---**
This Steel Broadsword is on its last legs.
**[03:11] ---**
Then it's off to Bengarna Kingdom!
**[03:14] ---**
Bengarna has a department store!
**[03:17] ---**
What's that?
**[03:19] ---**
You don't know?
It's a huge building filled with stores!
**[03:25] ---**
As big as an inn?
**[03:27] ---**
Don't be silly. It's as big as a castle!
**[03:29] ---**
Wow!
**[03:31] ---**
Father took me there once
when I was small.
**[03:36] ---**
It was big and huge
and they had everything!
**[03:40] ---**
Oh wow!
**[03:42] ---**
Dai, would you like to go?
**[03:45] ---**
Yeah, I would!
**[03:51] ---**
Now you're talking!
**[03:53] ---**
Hmm. I think it was like this.
**[04:00] ---**
*Th-This is...!*
**[04:06] ---**
Huh? Mentor?
**[04:13] ---**
*There's no mistake.
It's the Dragon Crest.*
**[04:16] ---**
*If he really is a Dragon Knight...*
**[04:20] ---**
*Avan, your student
is far more than you knew!*
**[04:25] ---**
So do you know what the mark
that shows up on Dai's forehead is?
**[04:32] ---**
My mistake. So you mentioned
you want to journey with Dai?
**[04:36] ---**
Uh, yeah. Is that a no?
I guess I'm still in training, so...
**[04:58] ---**
Go on. Consider these a parting gift.
**[05:02] ---**
The Sorcerer Cape and Shining Staff
I used when I was young.
**[05:08] ---**
And this.
**[05:14] ---**
Be there for Dai.
**[05:16] ---**
Huh?
**[05:18] ---**
He's going to hit a major wall soon.
**[05:22] ---**
Not as a Hero, but as a person.
**[05:26] ---**
When that time comes,
you have to support him.
**[05:30] ---**
Understood?
**[05:31] ---**
S-Sure.
**[05:34] ---**
Man, he was awfully nice today.
**[05:39] ---**
These seem pretty cool.
**[05:41] ---**
But... well...
**[05:44] ---**
This thing's kind of ugly.
**[05:47] ---**
Emergency! The balloon on the roof...
**[05:50] ---**
What?!
**[05:51] ---**
No way!
**[05:58] ---**
Princess?!
**[05:59] ---**
And Dai?!
**[06:00] ---**
Everyone's asleep from the Snooze spell!
**[06:03] ---**
Princess! Come back!
**[06:06] ---**
Sorry everybody!
We'll be right back, so don't worry!
**[06:11] ---**
She always does this.
**[06:14] ---**
The moment my back is turned,
she sneaks out of the palace.
**[06:18] ---**
I suppose that just means
peace is returning to Papnica.
**[06:22] ---**
Besides, Dai is with her.
They should be fine for a few days.
**[06:27] ---**
Honestly. After telling us we can't go.
**[06:30] ---**
Are you sure about this, Leona?
Isn't this stealing?
**[06:34] ---**
It's fine. How is my using
palace equipment stealing?
**[06:39] ---**
I guess so.
**[06:42] ---**
Oh, right. Shouldn't we have
invited Popp, too?
**[06:46] ---**
Popp? Oh, right, that Mage.
**[06:50] ---**
Why bother? He doesn't seem too reliable.
**[06:54] ---**
It's like he doesn't have much experience.
**[06:57] ---**
It probably wouldn't make
a difference even if he came.
**[07:00] ---**
*Why that little...!*
**[07:01] ---**
He's a lot more reliable than he looks.
**[07:05] ---**
*Oh?*
**[07:05] ---**
Really? He's the type who runs away
the moment the party is in danger.
**[07:11] ---**
And who asked you?!
**[07:14] ---**
Oh, you're here.
**[07:15] ---**
And I was hoping to enjoy
an adventure alone with Dai.
**[07:20] ---**
Why you little...!
**[07:26] ---**
Bengarna is considered
the safest country in the world.
**[07:30] ---**
With an advanced military and industry,
it's kept the Dark Army at bay
**[07:36] ---**
using its abundance of
weapons and resources
**[07:39] ---**
backed by the world's greatest economy.
**[07:42] ---**
Let's go!
**[07:49] ---**
Go! Go!
**[07:51] ---**
Hey! Slow down a little!
**[07:54] ---**
This is nothing!
**[07:56] ---**
What is with her?!
**[08:00] ---**
It's not a big deal.
I'm actually a little relieved.
**[08:06] ---**
What?!
**[08:07] ---**
Back in Papnica,
Leona has to be a leader for everyone.
**[08:12] ---**
So she seemed a little distant.
**[08:15] ---**
But now, she seems
more lively and like herself!
**[08:20] ---**
So we're here
for her stress relief or something?
**[08:26] ---**
Oh! There's a castle!
**[08:29] ---**
Don't be silly.
What castle has balloon like that?
**[08:32] ---**
Huh?
**[08:33] ---**
Go!
**[08:35] ---**
Leona, you're going too fast!
**[08:43] ---**
So this is a department store?
**[08:45] ---**
It's huge! Is it really full of stores?!
**[08:49] ---**
Let's go!
**[08:51] ---**
This is amazing. It's a hundred times
bigger than my family weapon store.
**[08:57] ---**

**[09:13] ---**
We're trapped!
**[09:15] ---**
The room is falling!
**[09:17] ---**
Calm down. It's called an elevator
and it takes you to each floor.
**[09:30] ---**
There's herbs and seeds
I've never seen before!
**[09:34] ---**
Two Slime Buns
and one Slime Tapioca please.
**[09:37] ---**
Sure thing. That'll be ten gold.
**[09:42] ---**
Here.
**[09:43] ---**
Are Slimes safe to eat?
**[09:47] ---**
It's not real.
It's a snack shaped like a Slime.
**[09:56] ---**
Huh? There's something inside.
**[09:59] ---**
Congratulations! You found a Small Medal!
**[10:08] ---**
What is this thing for?

I dunno.

Luxuries like these really make
the department-store experience.
**[10:24] ---**
Sir. Sir.
**[10:26] ---**
Huh? Me?
**[10:28] ---**
That's a nice buckle there.
**[10:30] ---**
Seriously?
**[10:33] ---**
I mean. Isn't it ugly?
**[10:35] ---**
Especially the face.
**[10:37] ---**
No, it's a wonderful buckle.
I'll pay you 500 gold for it.
**[10:42] ---**
500 gold?! That much?!
**[10:56] ---**
It won't come off.
**[10:57] ---**
Hmm. It's definitely cursed.

HELL'S CLAW
**[11:13] ---**
Sirs! See my latest product! Both attack
and defense in this all-purpose helm!
**[11:20] ---**
I call it...
**[11:24] ---**
The Blockhead Basher!
**[11:26] ---**
Come and get it!
**[11:27] ---**
No way.
**[11:28] ---**
No way.
**[11:31] ---**
Buy one now and I'll throw in
another one for free!
**[11:34] ---**
Okay. Let's go.
**[11:36] ---**
Right.
**[11:37] ---**
Why don't these sell?
**[11:39] ---**
Wow. This is so cool!
**[11:46] ---**
Wow!
**[11:48] ---**
So cool!
**[11:51] ---**
Whoa! 3,800 gold?!
**[11:55] ---**
Maybe I shouldn't have touched it.
**[11:58] ---**
Dai, feel free to buy anything
less than 5,000 gold.
**[12:04] ---**
Metals and cloth
from Papnica sell for a lot.
**[12:08] ---**
If I sell these dresses,
it should get us 20 to 30,000 gold.
**[12:13] ---**
She's a real princess.
**[12:16] ---**
DRESSING ROOM
**[12:17] ---**
Hey.
**[12:18] ---**
How about this?
**[12:25] ---**
What kind of Sage dresses like that?
**[12:29] ---**
Huh? Then how about this?
**[12:35] ---**
Here!
**[12:40] ---**
Meow!
**[12:41] ---**
Wear something more serious!
**[12:44] ---**
Oh come on.
This actually has pretty high defense.
**[12:48] ---**
What about you, Popp?
**[12:50] ---**
I'm good. I got a new weapon
and cape already.
**[12:55] ---**
You pick something.
**[12:56] ---**
In that case, I want that.
**[13:06] ---**
I guess this will do.
**[13:14] ---**
Are you sure you want that?
**[13:16] ---**
It's fine! I'll get used to it!
**[13:20] ---**
Okay, let's find Dai a new weapon.
**[13:35] ---**
Ow...
**[13:36] ---**
You know, I don't feel much stronger.
**[13:42] ---**
Oh? What's that?
**[13:47] ---**
A Dragonsbane!
**[13:48] ---**
Huh? The famous weapon?
**[13:51] ---**
Yes. It can pierce a Dragon's hide,
which is said to be harder than steel.
**[13:56] ---**
It's a top quality weapon.
**[13:58] ---**
But, it's expensive, right?
**[14:00] ---**
Huh?
**[14:03] ---**
There's no price.
**[14:04] ---**
My friends, this is our only piece,
so it will be put on auction.
**[14:10] ---**
An auction.
**[14:12] ---**
Come on, these things
go for over 15,000 Gold.
**[14:16] ---**
You can't buy it
with Mommy's allowance.
**[14:20] ---**
Come here, you two!
**[14:24] ---**
Dai, Popp, let's buy that Dragonsbane!
**[14:27] ---**
Are you serious?!
**[14:28] ---**
I have 16,000 gold right here!
**[14:31] ---**
Don't bother!
**[14:33] ---**
Huh?!
**[14:37] ---**
Using weapons more powerful than you are.
**[14:40] ---**
Don't waste your money like one of
those fools pretending to be strong.
**[14:47] ---**
Are you talking about us?!
**[14:50] ---**
Who else is there?
**[14:52] ---**
Why you...!
**[14:53] ---**
That's enough, Grandmother.
**[14:57] ---**
Please forgive us.
My grandmother has a foul mouth.
**[15:03] ---**
I merely call them as I see them.
**[15:10] ---**
Hmph! What was that?!
**[15:13] ---**
They looked like Seers.
**[15:15] ---**
Yeah. But the young one
was kind of cute.
**[15:19] ---**
You're so stupid.
**[15:23] ---**
This country's finished.
All that's advanced is its appearance.
**[15:29] ---**
What is it, Merle?
**[15:31] ---**
Grandmother, something's coming.
**[15:34] ---**
Many monsters with terrifying power!
**[15:37] ---**
What?! I haven't sensed anything yet!
**[15:41] ---**
Merle, it seems you've developed
our bloodline's power.
**[15:46] ---**
They're coming! They're close!
**[15:56] ---**
What is that?!
**[16:08] ---**
A Hydra!
**[16:09] ---**
F-Fire! Fire!
**[16:31] ---**
Our cannon's aren't working!
**[16:33] ---**
Just how tough is its hide?!
**[16:39] ---**
17,000!
**[16:41] ---**
17,500!
**[16:43] ---**
18,000!
**[16:47] ---**
That's enough, Princess. Come on.
**[16:51] ---**
We're already 2,000 gold over our limit.
**[16:54] ---**
If no one else will bid, that's it!
**[16:59] ---**
We're fine! I've got this!
**[17:01] ---**
19--
**[17:04] ---**
Sold! Today's feature item,
the Dragonsbane,
**[17:09] ---**
has been sold to the merchant,
Mr. Gopple, for 18,000 gold!
**[17:15] ---**
Check it out!
**[17:16] ---**
Wow! Good job!
**[17:17] ---**
Honestly! What are you doing, Gomechan?!
**[17:22] ---**
It's okay, Leona.
I can fight with a normal weapon.
**[17:28] ---**
But I can't stand letting those goons
have such a good weapon!
**[17:35] ---**
It would be far better in our hands!
**[17:39] ---**
W-What's that?!
**[17:41] ---**
Look at that!
**[17:45] ---**
An army of Dragons!
**[17:47] ---**
I see one Hydra, and Dragons...
**[17:50] ---**
One, two, three, four, five...
**[17:53] ---**
Five Dragons!
**[17:55] ---**
Is that the Dragon Legion
of the Dark Army?!
**[17:58] ---**
Hey! You bought the Dragonsbane, right?!
Use it to drive them off!
**[18:04] ---**
Don't be stupid!
I bought this to make money!
**[18:09] ---**
Huh. Pathetic.
**[18:12] ---**
That said, with that many Dragons,
we might be in over our heads.
**[18:23] ---**
Let's fight! We should fight!
**[18:27] ---**
Those Dragons might have
come here seeking us!
**[18:33] ---**
And we should buy time
so that everyone can evacuate!
**[18:40] ---**
*She'll even protect people like that.*
**[18:43] ---**
Okay!
**[18:47] ---**
Princess, you've changed
my opinion about you.
**[18:51] ---**
I guess true leaders
prove themselves under fire.
**[18:57] ---**
My opinion of you
still hasn't changed though.
**[19:01] ---**
Just watch me!
**[19:03] ---**
Dai, I'll take care of the Dragons!
**[19:06] ---**
You take the big guy!
**[19:09] ---**
Okay!
**[19:10] ---**
Princess, you evacuate the people in here!
**[19:14] ---**
Got it!
**[19:19] ---**
Come on people!
We need to get out of here! Now!
**[19:23] ---**
Okay! Here I go!
**[19:47] ---**
This isn't working!
**[19:55] ---**
Let's go, Gomechan!
**[20:02] ---**
I guess five Dragons is a little much!
**[20:08] ---**
Okay! In that case!
**[20:10] ---**
Let me show you how fast I've learned
to flee from all my battles!!
**[20:15] ---**
Follow me!
**[20:27] ---**
Hurry! Hurry and run!
**[20:34] ---**
Mommy!
**[20:35] ---**
Mommy! Mommy!
**[20:41] ---**
Wait, Merle! Where are you going?!
**[20:45] ---**
I have to help those people.
**[20:48] ---**
Don't be a fool!
**[20:49] ---**
What can simple Seers like us do?!
**[20:54] ---**
Seers...
**[20:56] ---**
That's right.
**[20:57] ---**
We knew when to run because we could
foresee when the Dark Army was coming.
**[21:02] ---**
We've survived
by moving from town to town.
**[21:06] ---**
But...
**[21:09] ---**
I've had enough!
**[21:13] ---**
I'm tired of fleeing towns, knowing
many people will be hurt or killed!
**[21:20] ---**
Merle, wait! Merle!
**[21:22] ---**
Foolish child.
**[21:24] ---**
Mommy! Mommy!
**[21:26] ---**
Please! Help my mommy!
**[21:28] ---**
We have to move this rock!

THE DRAGON KNIGHT
**[01:55] ---**
I'll draw it away to give you time!
**[01:57] ---**
O-Okay!
**[01:58] ---**
Come on!
**[02:11] ---**
Everybody hurry!
**[02:22] ---**
What happened?!
**[02:25] ---**
Oh no!
**[02:26] ---**
Everybody help!
**[02:29] ---**
Yeah, but...
**[02:31] ---**
Hurry up with you!
**[02:32] ---**
You can lift a rock, can't you?!
**[02:35] ---**
Go!
**[02:36] ---**
R-Right!
**[02:44] ---**
*Dragon scales are as hard as steel.*
**[02:46] ---**
*I'll have to target its faces!*
**[02:56] ---**
Earth Slash!
**[03:08] ---**
Dai!
**[03:11] ---**
Crack!
**[03:17] ---**
Even its faces are like steel?!
**[03:20] ---**
His sword wore down.
**[03:37] ---**
I can't win, fighting them one by one.
**[03:40] ---**
For this, I'll take them all out
with a single huge spell!
**[03:46] ---**
Mighty spirits asleep in the earth,
I now ask you to hear my voice!
**[03:58] ---**
Donk!
**[04:12] ---**
Yes!
**[04:17] ---**
Ouch...
**[04:20] ---**
Wow. I guess that's a spell straight from
Grand Sorcerer Matoriv for you.
**[04:25] ---**
But it used up all of my Magic Power
in the process.
**[04:35] ---**
Frizz! Frizz!
**[04:42] ---**
With puny spells like that...
**[04:44] ---**
He can't win!
**[04:45] ---**
I know! Give that to the boy!
**[04:48] ---**
What are you saying?! This is mine!
**[04:59] ---**
Dai!
**[05:03] ---**
Look!
**[05:06] ---**
Green Dragons!
**[05:10] ---**
Princess, sorry! You've got to run!
**[05:16] ---**
Ow!
**[05:17] ---**
Run?! How can we run?!
**[05:21] ---**
We're out of time!
**[05:28] ---**
Don't leave me!
**[05:30] ---**
What a bunch of cowards!
**[05:37] ---**
No!
**[05:39] ---**
They're done for!
**[05:42] ---**
Leona!
**[06:12] ---**
Dai?
**[06:14] ---**
That crest! It can't be!
**[06:28] ---**
Boom!
**[06:34] ---**
It's the mark!
We've got the advantage now!
**[06:46] ---**
Get out of here!
**[07:03] ---**
Grandmother, that crest is...
**[07:07] ---**
Huh?
**[07:09] ---**
I never thought I'd see it for myself.
**[07:13] ---**
The legendary Dragon Knight in battle!
**[07:41] ---**
Dai's even more intense than usual today.
**[07:46] ---**
Popp, help us out!
**[07:48] ---**
R-Right!
**[07:53] ---**
Hey!
**[08:27] ---**
Zapple!
**[08:48] ---**
He won.
**[08:50] ---**
Oh wow!
**[08:52] ---**
Good going, Dai! That was amazing!
**[08:58] ---**
Are you okay?
**[09:01] ---**
U-Uh...
**[09:04] ---**
What's wrong?
**[09:06] ---**
I'm scared! He's scary!
**[09:09] ---**
Huh?
**[09:11] ---**
I'm... scary?
**[09:20] ---**
W-Why is everybody...
**[09:27] ---**
*Because you're not human.*
**[09:30] ---**
*Seeing your inhuman fighting abilities
has terrified them all.*
**[09:36] ---**
Who's there?!
**[09:37] ---**
*Humans can be so selfish.
And after you protected their city.*
**[09:44] ---**
There!
**[09:50] ---**
The Dark Army?!
**[09:54] ---**
My name is Killvearn.
**[09:59] ---**
My rather insulting friends
call me "the Reaper."
**[10:05] ---**
Killvearn, the Reaper?!
**[10:08] ---**
Are you the Dragon Legion Commander?!
**[10:12] ---**
I'm not that distinguished.
I'm just a servant.
**[10:16] ---**
The Dark Army has been abuzz,
speculating on your identity.
**[10:21] ---**
So I was lent some Dragons from the
Dragon Legion and was sent to find out.
**[10:27] ---**
As a result, I was able to see
what you really are.
**[10:36] ---**
Wait! What do you mean by that?!
**[10:39] ---**
Oh, also, the real Dragon Legion
Commander will probably show up soon...
**[10:45] ---**
to lure you into hell.
**[10:49] ---**
Hope you enjoy it.
**[10:54] ---**
He's gone.
**[11:02] ---**
What did he mean by... my identity?
**[11:08] ---**
Wait. You called Dai
"the Dragon Knight," didn't you?
**[11:12] ---**
Indeed.
**[11:13] ---**
He must be the Dragon Knight from the
legends of our homeland, Teran Kingdom.
**[11:20] ---**
Huh? The Dragon Knight?
**[11:22] ---**
Where's Teran? And who are you?
**[11:26] ---**
I am Nabara the Seer.
And this is my granddaughter, Merle.
**[11:30] ---**
It's a country north of Bengarna.
It's called the Mystic Country.
**[11:35] ---**
*The Mystic Country.*
**[11:37] ---**
*If I go there...*
**[11:43] ---**
AVAN STRASH
**[11:48] ---**
CRACKLE
ICE-TYPE SPELL
**[11:55] ---**
*Sovereign Rock Castle's
footprints end here.*
**[12:01] ---**
*The Field of Death...*
**[12:04] ---**
*Dark King Vearn's Dark Army
must be positioned there.*
**[12:10] ---**
Who's there?!
**[12:15] ---**
Are you alright?!
**[12:18] ---**
Th-The Dark Army.
**[12:20] ---**
What?!
**[12:21] ---**
The Dark Army drove
my homeland of Carl to ruin.
**[12:28] ---**
*Taking down Carl
couldn't have been an easy task.*
**[12:32] ---**
*Which Legion did it?*
**[12:39] ---**
So this is Teran Kingdom?
**[12:44] ---**
It's so pretty.
**[12:45] ---**
Yeah, but...
**[12:47] ---**
it's kind of shabby.
It's more of a village than a kingdom.
**[12:53] ---**
Uh, but, you know, I'm glad
the Dark Army hasn't attacked this place.
**[13:00] ---**
To be blunt, it's because
it has no tactical value.
**[13:04] ---**
Teran is a kingdom in name only.
It has no military power.
**[13:09] ---**
Indeed.
**[13:11] ---**
Because of his love for nature
and devotion to the gods,
**[13:14] ---**
the king forbade development
of weapons and items.
**[13:18] ---**
He said they would bring disaster upon us.
**[13:22] ---**
But that also weakened the country.
**[13:27] ---**
Everybody prefers
a life filled with luxury.
**[13:30] ---**
The population moved to other countries,
and this country was left to rot.
**[13:37] ---**
Now there are only about 50 people.
Of course, we were among those who left.
**[13:44] ---**
But...
**[13:46] ---**
I still love this quiet homeland.
**[13:52] ---**
She's a strange one.
**[13:54] ---**
Madam Nabara, please tell me!
**[13:57] ---**
Where can I find something
that will tell me who I am?!
**[14:02] ---**
Whoa. What are you
getting worked up about, Dai?
**[14:05] ---**
I'm not worked up!
**[14:07] ---**
Dai...
**[14:10] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[14:11] ---**
But, I have to know! Just who I am!
**[14:18] ---**
Follow me.
**[14:26] ---**
Talk about decrepit. Is this some ruin?
**[14:29] ---**
Look inside.
**[14:33] ---**
That's...
**[14:34] ---**
That is the Dragon Crest.
**[14:37] ---**
Is this the mark
that appears on my forehead?
**[14:40] ---**
Yes. It's identical.
**[14:42] ---**
Teran worships the God of Dragons.
**[14:45] ---**
And this crest is revered and feared
as a sign of the God of Dragons' power.
**[14:52] ---**
He who bears this crest
on his forehead is...
**[14:56] ---**
The Dragon Knight?
**[14:58] ---**
What sort of human is it?
**[15:00] ---**
It may not be human at all.
**[15:05] ---**
*We believe it is a servant of the gods.*
**[15:10] ---**
*According to legends,*
**[15:11] ---**
*the Dragon Knight wields awesome power,
can cast any spell,*
**[15:17] ---**
*and, with the heavens, earth, and sea
as its allies, will destroy all creation.*
**[15:30] ---**
What kind of being destroys all creation?
**[15:34] ---**
It could be our savior or our destroyer.
**[15:38] ---**
It is only written that it wields power
like a rebirth of the God of Dragons.
**[15:45] ---**
However...
**[15:46] ---**
However what?!
**[15:49] ---**
There is a forbidden temple
at the bottom of this lake.
**[15:55] ---**
The soul of the God of Dragons
is said to rest there.
**[15:59] ---**
Then...
**[16:00] ---**
Indeed. If you really do have something
to do with the Dragon Knight,
**[16:06] ---**
perhaps you can enter that temple
and find some clues.
**[16:14] ---**
I'm... going down there.
**[16:16] ---**
An underwater temple, huh? Okay!
**[16:19] ---**
I'm going alone.
**[16:20] ---**
Huh?
**[16:22] ---**
But... shouldn't we all go?
**[16:25] ---**
No. I want to go alone.
**[16:29] ---**
Dai...
**[16:31] ---**
All right. At least take this.
**[16:33] ---**
I bought it in Bengarna.
**[16:35] ---**
Okay. Thanks.
**[16:40] ---**
I've never wondered who I am before.
**[16:45] ---**
I washed up on Dermline Island
as a baby and was raised among monsters.
**[16:51] ---**
Grampa Brass scolded me a lot,
but he cared for me.
**[16:55] ---**
The monsters never excluded me
just because I wasn't a monster.
**[17:04] ---**
But humans won't accept me
unless I'm also a human.
**[17:11] ---**
That's why...
**[17:13] ---**
I want to find out alone.
**[17:15] ---**
I...
**[17:18] ---**
I don't want you or Leona to hate me!
**[17:21] ---**
Dai!
**[17:21] ---**
Wait!
**[17:24] ---**
Dai!
**[17:31] ---**
You idiot!
**[17:34] ---**
Worrying about things that don't matter!
**[17:37] ---**
I thought we were friends!
I thought we were companions!
**[17:47] ---**
I don't care if you're a monster or not!
**[17:52] ---**
That... never mattered!
**[17:59] ---**
Popp...
**[18:27] ---**
*So this is...*
**[18:29] ---**
*the Dragon Temple.*
**[18:33] ---**
*How do I get inside?*
**[18:52] ---**
There's air in here.
**[19:18] ---**
*Who goes there?*
**[19:20] ---**
*Name yourself.*
**[19:22] ---**
A talking crystal?!
**[19:24] ---**
*I am the Dragon Crystal.
Guardian of this temple.*
**[19:29] ---**
*Who are you?*
**[19:30] ---**
That's what I want to know!
Am I really a Dragon Knight?!
**[19:35] ---**
*Why do you ask this?*
**[19:38] ---**
I don't know
where I was born or who I am!
**[19:42] ---**
Tell me!
**[19:44] ---**
*There is no mistake.*
**[19:46] ---**
*You are the Dragon Knight.*
**[19:49] ---**
Th-Then it's true.
**[19:51] ---**
*This temple cannot be entered
by anyone but the Dragon Knight.*
**[19:55] ---**
*Your presence here is proof itself.*
**[20:00] ---**
Just what is a Dragon Knight?!
**[20:04] ---**
Is it a human or a monster?
**[20:06] ---**
*It is neither.*
**[20:09] ---**
*Three gods created this world.*
**[20:12] ---**
*The God of Dragons, the God of Darklings,
and the God of Humans.*
**[20:16] ---**
*The Dragon Knight is the ultimate creature
created by those three gods.*
**[20:23] ---**
Created?!
**[20:24] ---**
*Yes. Long ago,
by three great celestial beings.*
**[20:29] ---**
Why create such a creature?
**[20:31] ---**
*To...*
**[20:34] ---**
What's wrong?!
**[20:35] ---**
*Someone else has entered this temple.*
**[20:45] ---**
*This is impossible. The Dragon Knight...*
**[20:51] ---**
Who are you?!
**[20:59] ---**
The Dragon Legion Commander...
**[21:04] ---**
Baran!
**[21:07] ---**
Baran?!
**[21:10] ---**
*So he's the Dragon Legion Commander.*
**[21:13] ---**
*He's the real deal!*
**[21:16] ---**
*And there's something about him...*
**[21:20] ---**
You must be Dai.
**[21:22] ---**
That's right!
**[21:23] ---**
*This man is also a Dragon Knight?!*
**[21:26] ---**
*Impossible. Two Dragon Knights
existing in the same age...*
**[21:32] ---**
Are you here to kill me?!
**[21:34] ---**
No I'm not.
**[21:35] ---**
Huh?!
**[21:36] ---**
The Dragon Crystal must have already
told you that you're a Dragon Knight.
**[21:43] ---**
So what if it did?!
**[21:46] ---**
I want your power.
**[21:49] ---**
Serve me!
**[21:51] ---**
Together we shall destroy...
**[21:54] ---**
the human world!
**[22:20] ---**
*Kindness is the magic of kind people*
**[22:20] ---**
*yasashisa wa yasashii hito ga tsukaeru mahou*
**[22:26] ---**
*Then do I have no choice
But to just be a normal person?*
**[22:26] ---**
*jaa boku wa tada no hito de iru shikanaino?*
**[22:33] ---**
*I'm not sure*
**[22:33] ---**
*doudarou*
**[22:38] ---**
*Even if the place I call home may change*
**[22:38] ---**
*kaeru basho wa ne kawatte yuku kedo*
**[22:44] ---**
*Listen to me, Mother*
**[22:44] ---**
*naa kaasan boku wa*
**[22:46] ---**
*I will never change those I protect*
**[22:46] ---**
*mamoru hito wo kaetari shinai*
**[22:53] ---**
*I wonder what you'd say*
**[22:53] ---**
*anata wa nannte iukana*
**[22:57] ---**
*At times I can be cowardly and small*
**[22:57] ---**
*tokiyori yowaki de chippoke de*
**[23:01] ---**
*What would you say to me
As I hesitate to even hesitate?*
**[23:01] ---**
*mayou koto ni mo mayou boku ni nannte iukana*
**[23:08] ---**
*Unlike the today that I sought*
**[23:08] ---**
*sagashite ita kyou to chigatte*
**[23:14] ---**
*I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment*
**[23:14] ---**
*ochikonnde shimau boku wo warau no darou*
**[23:34] ---**
*Baran, the Dragon Legion Commander
reveals the Dragon Knight's mission.*
**[23:39] ---**
*For Dai, who seeks to defeat
the Dark King, it is a cruel revelation.*
**[23:44] ---**
*Dai resists, using his Avan Strash,
but it has no effect on Baran.*
**[23:49] ---**
*Baran then reveals a shocking truth...*
**[23:54] ---**
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,*
**[23:56] ---**
*"Dragon Master General Baran"*
**[23:58] ---**
*The adventure continues!*

DRAGON MASTER GENERAL BARAN
**[01:50] ---**
*This is the Dragon Legion's handiwork.*
**[01:53] ---**
*So while we were fighting Flazzard,
they destroyed Carl Kingdom.*
**[02:01] ---**
The Order of Carl was said
to be the greatest! Dammit!
**[02:08] ---**
I have a request.
**[02:10] ---**
My brother's corpse should be
around the palace. I'd like to bury him.
**[02:17] ---**
My brother was the lead knight
of this kingdom.
**[02:20] ---**
The knight Horkins was a hero whose name
was known even in neighboring countries.
**[02:25] ---**
He fought off the Dragons valiantly,
but the enemy Legion Commander killed him.
**[02:32] ---**
*Baran...*
**[02:34] ---**
I'd never seen anything like it.
**[02:48] ---**
*My brother matched him
in skill with a sword.*
**[02:52] ---**
*And then he...*
**[02:56] ---**
You sheath your sword?! You coward!
**[03:11] ---**
*One shot.*
**[03:13] ---**
*With one shot, he killed my brother.*
**[03:19] ---**
There. I can't get him out alone.
**[03:28] ---**
This shape...
**[03:30] ---**
The same shape as Dai's mark.
**[03:33] ---**
Serve you?! Destroy the human world?!
**[03:38] ---**
You must be joking!
**[03:40] ---**
I make no joke about this.
**[03:42] ---**
It's what the Dragon Knights
were born to do after all.
**[03:46] ---**
What?!
**[03:47] ---**
I see you don't know yet.
**[03:50] ---**
Very well. I shall tell you
in place of the Dragon Crystal.
**[03:57] ---**
*Long ago, when the gods
newly created the world,*
**[04:01] ---**
*three races ruled the land.*
**[04:04] ---**
*Specifically, the humans,
Darklings, and Dragons.*
**[04:08] ---**
*These days Dragons
are considered a type of monster,*
**[04:12] ---**
*but they used to be smarter than humans,
and most of them could speak.*
**[04:19] ---**
*But these three races fought
bloody battles for control of the world.*
**[04:26] ---**
*The gods, lamenting this,
decided someone must oversee this world.*
**[04:34] ---**
*The gods of Dragons, Darklings, and humans
convened and came to a decision.*
**[04:41] ---**
*To create a being with the strength of
Dragons, the Magic Power of Darklings,*
**[04:45] ---**
*and the heart of humans.*
**[04:47] ---**
*To create the ultimate warrior.*
**[04:52] ---**
*That is the Dragon Knight.*
**[04:55] ---**
*Thus, if any race should ever
hold ambitions to dominate the world,*
**[05:01] ---**
*it is the Dragon Knight's duty to wipe
them out and administer divine punishment.*
**[05:07] ---**
In that case,
isn't Dark King Vearn worse?!
**[05:11] ---**
He's trying to conquer the world!
**[05:14] ---**
No. The evil is the humans.
**[05:16] ---**
King Vearn seeks to wipe out the humans
for the sake of the world.
**[05:21] ---**
But...
**[05:22] ---**
You must promptly embrace
the proper duties of a Dragon Knight
**[05:27] ---**
and offer your power to King Vearn.
**[05:30] ---**
No! I'm on the humans' side
no matter what anybody says!
**[05:35] ---**
I'd rather die than serve the Dark Army
that took Master Avan's life!
**[05:40] ---**
I see.
**[05:42] ---**
Dragon Legion Commander Baran,
**[05:45] ---**
take this!
**[05:47] ---**
Avan Strash!
**[05:54] ---**
It has no effect?!
**[05:57] ---**
I'd rather not harm you,
but if this is how you feel...
**[06:02] ---**
I will take you with me by force!
**[06:09] ---**
*Impossible! How can this be?!*
**[06:15] ---**
What's going on down there?!
**[06:18] ---**
This is...
**[06:19] ---**
I sense it. A being with massive power.
**[06:22] ---**
What?!
**[06:29] ---**
Look! It's Dai!
**[06:31] ---**
Dai!
**[06:32] ---**
Dai!
**[06:34] ---**
Dai!
**[06:37] ---**
Dai!
**[06:39] ---**
Are you okay?!
**[06:46] ---**
That crest...!
**[06:48] ---**
Then he's a Dragon Knight, too?!
**[06:50] ---**
He's part of the Dark Army!
**[06:54] ---**
Dragon Legion Commander Baran!
**[06:57] ---**
What?!
**[06:58] ---**
Then the Dark Army
has their own Dragon Knight, too?!
**[07:01] ---**
Impossible! Only one Dragon Knight
is supposed to exist!
**[07:07] ---**
Huh? But...
**[07:08] ---**
Correct.
**[07:10] ---**
I am the one true
Dragon Knight of this age.
**[07:15] ---**
But, while only one Dragon Knight
is supposed to be born,
**[07:20] ---**
there was an exception.
**[07:22] ---**
And that is you!
**[07:25] ---**
It's time to embrace your duties
as a Dragon Knight
**[07:29] ---**
and destroy the humans with me!
**[07:32] ---**
What?!
**[07:33] ---**
I'll never do that!
Don't make me repeat myself!
**[07:36] ---**
Things may be all right now.
**[07:39] ---**
During childhood, a Dragon Knight
is no different from a normal human.
**[07:44] ---**
But as you grow and begin to exhibit
the Power of Dragons,
**[07:48] ---**
the humans will begin to fear,
reject, and persecute you.
**[07:54] ---**
When that happens,
you will be the one to suffer.
**[07:59] ---**
I'm scared! He's scary!
**[08:04] ---**
Screw your nonsense! Dai is our friend!
**[08:08] ---**
No matter what he is,
we'll never persecute him!
**[08:12] ---**
Help you destroy the humans?!
**[08:15] ---**
Dai would...
Dai would rather die than do that!
**[08:18] ---**
Popp...
**[08:19] ---**
Princess, cast Fullheal on Dai!
**[08:21] ---**
Got it!
**[08:22] ---**
I'll... I'll try to deal with him!
**[08:25] ---**
It's sad to see someone
overestimate themself.
**[08:31] ---**
Donk!
**[08:36] ---**
Fullheal!
**[08:37] ---**
Good! That should heal Dai!
**[08:54] ---**
My greatest spell
that took down three Green Dragons?!
**[08:57] ---**
You thought a Legion Commander
who leads Dragons to be weaker than one?!
**[09:02] ---**
Princess, hurry!
**[09:03] ---**
I'm trying, but...!
**[09:05] ---**
Your resistance is futile!
**[09:10] ---**
My spell!
**[09:36] ---**
D-Dammit...
**[09:38] ---**
Dai!
**[09:40] ---**
I'm taking the boy.
**[09:42] ---**
No! You can't have Dai!
**[09:45] ---**
You may be the same race, but that
doesn't give you the right to take him!
**[09:50] ---**
I do have... the right.
**[09:53] ---**
What?!
**[09:54] ---**
This boy... is my son.
**[09:59] ---**
What?
**[10:01] ---**
What did you just say?
**[10:03] ---**
I said this boy is my son.
**[10:08] ---**
His real name is Dino.
**[10:11] ---**
*H-He's lying!*
**[10:14] ---**
Son? Dai is your son?
**[10:17] ---**
You're saying you're Dai's father?
**[10:20] ---**
Stop lying!
**[10:22] ---**
Dai told me he washed up
on Dermline Island as an infant!
**[10:25] ---**
Have you got any proof?!
**[10:28] ---**
The crest on his forehead is proof itself.
**[10:32] ---**
Only one person in the world aside from me
could have the Dragon Crest.
**[10:38] ---**
The son I lost 11 years ago, Dino.
**[10:43] ---**
Then, yours is the only
Dragon Knight bloodline?
**[10:47] ---**
No friends or brothers?
**[10:50] ---**
Wait! What about his mother?!
**[10:52] ---**
Where is the woman who gave birth to Dai?!
**[10:56] ---**
His mother...
**[10:57] ---**
Indeed the boy does bear
a resemblance to his mother.
**[11:04] ---**
However...
**[11:05] ---**
that's no concern to you humans.
**[11:09] ---**
Astonishing! So Baran is Dai's father?!
**[11:13] ---**
It's father and son Dragon Knights!
**[11:15] ---**
Correct. It's the tearful reunion
of a father and son in over a decade.
**[11:20] ---**
But don't forget that I'm the one
who set up this emotional moment.
**[11:26] ---**
After all, I uncovered the truth
that some coward was hiding.
**[11:32] ---**
Why you...!
**[11:34] ---**
Silence!
**[11:36] ---**
The great Dark King Vearn
shall now grace us with his presence.
**[11:40] ---**
Contain yourselves.
**[11:41] ---**
My king!
**[11:42] ---**
*Damn you!*
**[11:47] ---**
Dark King Vearn is here.
**[11:54] ---**
Well done, all of you.
**[11:57] ---**
Raise your heads.
**[12:02] ---**
*Up close, the pressure from him
is as powerful as ever.*
**[12:07] ---**
I see things are getting interesting.
**[12:11] ---**
Yes. There has been debate as to
whether or not Dai is a Dragon Knight.
**[12:17] ---**
Therefore, I went to ascertain
the truth as a neutral party.
**[12:24] ---**
Commander Hadlar was dead set against it.
Could he have known Dai's identity?
**[12:30] ---**
*These dirty little...*
**[12:31] ---**
Mystvearn, what do you think
of the boy's power?
**[12:37] ---**
I gave Flazzard the most powerful armour
in my army to test Dai's strength.
**[12:44] ---**
*He possesses all manner
of terrifying power.*
**[12:51] ---**
To think I could have
two Dragon Knights under my command.
**[12:58] ---**
Baran must be rewarded
if he succeeds in recruiting Dai.
**[13:04] ---**
Indeed. If he does,
he may take the seat of Dark Commander.
**[13:09] ---**
King Vearn...!
**[13:10] ---**
My decision has been made.
**[13:16] ---**
*What I was afraid of has come true!*
**[13:22] ---**
*So this is why Hadlar was desperate
to keep Dai from Baran.*
**[13:28] ---**
However...
**[13:30] ---**
it seems things will not go that smoothly.
**[13:37] ---**
CRACKLE
ICE-TYPE SPELL
**[13:43] ---**
DARK PUPPETRY AURA HAND
**[13:45] ---**
I'm taking Dino with me.
**[13:47] ---**
Don't touch me!
**[13:49] ---**
Dai!
**[13:50] ---**
Dai!
**[13:51] ---**
Don't you understand? I'm far stronger
than you could ever hope to be.
**[13:58] ---**
I still have... my final weapon.
**[14:03] ---**
*That's right. What Matoriv said...*
**[14:07] ---**
*A hero's weapon.*
**[14:09] ---**
*The only weapon I have left
that might work on you...*
**[14:16] ---**
*is what lets me face any powerful enemy.*
**[14:21] ---**
*It's my courage!*
**[14:24] ---**
*My only hope now
is that Dai defeats Baran.*
**[14:31] ---**
Dino...
**[14:32] ---**
Don't call me Dino!
**[14:35] ---**
My name is Dai!
**[14:37] ---**
It's the name my Grampa gave to me!
**[14:40] ---**
I fight the Dark Army! I'm Dai, the Hero!
**[14:45] ---**
Dai...
**[14:46] ---**
Dai...
**[14:51] ---**
Don't!
**[14:52] ---**
He's the legendary Dragon Knight!
**[14:54] ---**
But he's evil!
**[14:56] ---**
Evil? Don't be so sure.
**[14:59] ---**
If the Dragon Knight wipes us out,
it would be humanity's own fault.
**[15:06] ---**
But...
**[15:07] ---**
I see. Very well.
**[15:10] ---**
Then I shall call you
your human name, "Dai."
**[15:14] ---**
Dai! I shall defeat you
as a Hero who fights with the humans!
**[15:19] ---**
If you will not submit to me,
you shall die!
**[15:27] ---**
Popp, here's a Fullheal!
**[15:29] ---**
Thanks.
**[15:31] ---**
But even if I get
my stamina back, I'm useless.
**[15:34] ---**
Our spells don't seem to have
any effect on him at all.
**[15:38] ---**
Dai, I hope you have a plan!
**[15:41] ---**
*Any small attack
and he'll kill me for sure.*
**[15:45] ---**
*I'll have to finish him
with my biggest, strongest attack.*
**[15:50] ---**
I thought you were hiding something,
but I see it's just that.
**[15:54] ---**
"Avan Strash," was it?
**[15:56] ---**
I assume you unite the power, speed,
and Aura control, of your sword skills
**[16:03] ---**
to complete that attack.
**[16:07] ---**
It requires spirit,
technique, and strength.
**[16:10] ---**
For a human attack, it's formidable. But
you've already seen it won't work on me.
**[16:18] ---**
*He analyzed Master Avan's greatest attack
with just one hit.*
**[16:22] ---**
*Then I'll have to use that attack.*
**[16:24] ---**
*Please! Power of Dragons
that lies within me!*
**[16:29] ---**
*Awaken!*
**[16:31] ---**
*If I don't defeat him,
all humanity will be wiped out!*
**[16:43] ---**
Dai showed the crest as well!
**[16:46] ---**
Could it be...?
**[16:48] ---**
Zapple!
**[16:54] ---**
Zap Strash!
**[17:02] ---**
He blocked it?!
Even though Dai's Strash was perfected?!
**[17:06] ---**
He's absorbing the energy
of the Zapple spell with his sword!
**[17:10] ---**
Impossible!
**[17:12] ---**
Impressive that you can control
the Power of Dragons this much.
**[17:15] ---**
Normally, a Dragon Knight cannot control
the power of the Crest until fully grown.
**[17:22] ---**
You've been blessed
with good teachers and good battles.
**[17:28] ---**
For that spirit and courage,
I shall show you...
**[17:32] ---**
just how terrifying it is when
a true Dragon Knight controls the heavens!
**[17:38] ---**
Kazap!
**[17:52] ---**
Gigabreak!
**[18:06] ---**
Dai!
**[18:07] ---**
You monster! How dare you strike Dai!
**[18:10] ---**
I may not be able to do any damage, but...
**[18:12] ---**
Stop!
**[18:14] ---**
I shall face that man!
**[18:17] ---**
Beast King Crocodine!
**[18:19] ---**
Thank goodness! We're in deep trouble!
**[18:22] ---**
*So this is the Beast King.*
**[18:24] ---**
With you here it's like having an army...
**[18:29] ---**
Big Guy, you're shaking.
**[18:32] ---**
Crocodine.
**[18:33] ---**
Even you should be aware
of what will happen if you fight me.
**[18:40] ---**
I'll probably die.
**[18:42] ---**
But, that is something I'm prepared to do.
**[18:45] ---**
Big Guy...
**[18:46] ---**
Hurry and rescue Dai.
**[18:48] ---**
I'll fight with you!
**[18:50] ---**
Me too!
**[18:51] ---**
-Don't bother.
-Huh?!
**[18:52] ---**
I don't know why,
but he's completely immune to spells.
**[18:58] ---**
The only way to damage him is
with physical attacks by hand or weapon.
**[19:04] ---**
Well done, Beast King. So you realized it.
**[19:07] ---**
Get Dai.
**[19:09] ---**
Got it.
**[19:14] ---**
You heard everything?
**[19:15] ---**
I heard enough.
**[19:17] ---**
Then why stand in my way?
**[19:19] ---**
Why should I not reclaim my own son?
**[19:22] ---**
Because Dai doesn't want it.
**[19:25] ---**
I see. So you've completely
sided with the humans.
**[19:29] ---**
How disappointing. Of all the Legion
Commanders, I respected you the most.
**[19:35] ---**
That boy, Hyunckel, wasn't bad either.
**[19:40] ---**
With his hate for humans
in that heart of ice.
**[19:44] ---**
But, everyone I favor leaves the Dark Amy.
I guess Hadlar just lacks charisma.
**[19:50] ---**
That's not true.
**[19:52] ---**
I don't know about Hyunckel,
**[19:54] ---**
but I was willing to die
for Hadlar or Dark King Vearn.
**[20:00] ---**
A true warrior
will sacrifice himself for his master.
**[20:04] ---**
All that's changed is that
I now support Dai.
**[20:07] ---**
And so you would fight me? To protect Dai?
**[20:12] ---**
Without Dai, both Hyunckel and I
would have wandered the dark path forever.
**[20:18] ---**
He's the sun that brought light
to our hearts of darkness!
**[20:24] ---**
*The sun?*
**[20:25] ---**
All living things need the sun!
**[20:30] ---**
None can be allowed to take it away!
**[20:34] ---**
I may not be strong enough,
but I will still fight!
**[20:37] ---**
*To move the heart
of one such as Crocodine this much...*
**[20:42] ---**
*What a child.*
**[20:45] ---**
*The sun...*
**[20:47] ---**
*A child of the sun.*
**[20:52] ---**
*Soala...*
**[20:55] ---**
Why sheath your sword?!
**[20:58] ---**
Crocodine,
I see there's no changing your mind.
**[21:01] ---**
But if you fight me,
**[21:03] ---**
you will learn the terror
of fighting a true Dragon Knight.
**[21:07] ---**
The completed Power of Dragons
far beyond that of Dai's!
**[21:16] ---**
*What is this?! His Aura is staggering,
but he's just standing there!*
**[21:21] ---**
What's wrong? Won't you fight?
**[21:25] ---**
If you won't fight,
I'll just have to claim your head!
**[21:36] ---**
*I-Impossible!
My axe is the one that shattered!*
**[21:41] ---**
What's this?!
**[21:42] ---**
This is the secret
to the Dragon Knights' supremacy.
**[21:45] ---**
The Draconic Aura!
**[21:54] ---**
Big Guy!
**[22:20] ---**
*yasashisa wa yasashii hito ga tsukaeru mahou*
**[22:20] ---**
*Kindness is the magic of kind people*
**[22:26] ---**
*jaa boku wa tada no hito de iru shikanaino?*
**[22:26] ---**
*Then do I have no choice
But to just be a normal person?*

**[22:33] ---**
*I'm not sure*
**[22:38] ---**

*Listen to me, Mother*
**[22:46] ---**

**[22:46] ---**
*I will never change those I protect*
**[22:53] ---**

**[22:53] ---**
*I wonder what you'd say*
**[22:57] ---**
*tokiyori yowaki de chippoke de*
**[22:57] ---**
*At times I can be cowardly and small*
**[23:01] ---**
*mayou koto ni mo mayou boku ni nannte iukana*
**[23:01] ---**
*What would you say to me
As I hesitate to even hesitate?*
**[23:08] ---**
*Unlike the today that I sought*
**[23:08] ---**
*sagashite ita kyou to chigatte*
**[23:14] ---**
*I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment*
**[23:14] ---**
*ochikonnde shimau boku wo warau no darou*
**[23:34] ---**
*Baran is Dai's father.*
**[23:35] ---**
*Dai pushes aside his doubts and fights,
but cannot defeat Baran's Gigabreak.*
**[23:41] ---**
*Crocodine joins in,
but fails to even scratch Baran.*
**[23:45] ---**
*Therein lies the secret
to the Dragon Knights' supremacy.*
**[23:48] ---**
*As Dai still stands up to face him,
Baran's Crest shines eerily.*
**[23:53] ---**

THE TERRIFYING DRACONIC AURA
**[01:59] ---**
When this Dragon Crest shines,
**[02:03] ---**
my body is enveloped in a current of
life energy called a Draconic Aura.
**[02:09] ---**
It's a Defense Shroud that hardens my body
like steel and repels all spells.
**[02:18] ---**
*I see. That explains it.*
**[02:22] ---**
*When that crest shined, Dai's body
became unbelievably hard.*
**[02:27] ---**
And when I fully deploy this Draconic Aura
and fight using its power...
**[02:38] ---**
no creature in the world can face me!
**[02:59] ---**
Dammit!
**[03:07] ---**
Big Guy!
**[03:15] ---**
And now, you can no longer fight.
**[03:20] ---**
Princess.
**[03:23] ---**
Take care of Dai!
**[03:25] ---**
Got it!
**[03:36] ---**
*What a wound.*
**[03:38] ---**
*So this is what Gigabreak does.*
**[03:41] ---**
*Dai, hang in there!
You're a Hero, aren't you?!*
**[03:47] ---**
Surrender.
**[03:50] ---**
Hold it!
**[03:53] ---**
Popp!
**[03:55] ---**
What are you doing?
**[03:57] ---**
Magic doesn't work,
so I'll hit you with this!
**[04:00] ---**
Don't be stupid, boy!
**[04:04] ---**
*I'm like a frog being glared at
by a snake! I feel paralyzed!*
**[04:10] ---**
The reason I thoroughly crushed Crocodine
is because his type is the most dangerous.
**[04:18] ---**
The Draconic Aura repels all spells,
but a greater force or Aura can pierce it,
**[04:25] ---**
and damage my body.
**[04:28] ---**
A-Are you sure you want
to give away your weakness like that?
**[04:34] ---**
Young fool.
**[04:35] ---**
Crocodine is mighty. A strike from
a weak Mage like you will hardly tickle.
**[04:42] ---**
In fact, your arm would likely break.
**[04:47] ---**
*I'll still have to try!*
**[04:49] ---**
This is crazy, Popp!
**[04:51] ---**
Wait a minute!
**[04:52] ---**
But Popp is...
**[04:56] ---**
Popp is going to get killed!
**[04:58] ---**
Merle... you...
**[05:04] ---**
Here goes!
**[05:09] ---**
Crocodine!
**[05:11] ---**
I said leave this to me.
**[05:14] ---**
But you can't win in that condition!
**[05:17] ---**
I still have my left arm.
There's still hope.
**[05:22] ---**
But...
**[05:23] ---**
Even if I lose both my eyes,
I'll still have my inner eye.
**[05:29] ---**
The inner eye you helped clear.
**[05:32] ---**
Me?
**[05:34] ---**
That's right.
**[05:35] ---**
In that fight in Romos...
**[05:38] ---**
*you risked your life to face me,
someone you couldn't hope to beat.*
**[05:44] ---**
*You showed me the greatness
of humans, trusting and fighting together.*
**[05:51] ---**
The one who cleared
the filth staining my heart, Popp,
**[05:55] ---**
was you.
**[05:57] ---**
Big Guy...
**[05:59] ---**
That's why I risk my life, too!
**[06:01] ---**
Baran may be unbeatable, but I can't
call myself your friend if I do nothing!
**[06:10] ---**
*Thanks, Big Guy.*
**[06:12] ---**
*But you don't have to die alone!*
**[06:15] ---**
*We die together!*
**[06:19] ---**
Here goes, Baran!
This will be my final attack!
**[06:24] ---**
Fool. Dodging an attack
from you now would be child's play.
**[06:30] ---**
But I doubt you could dodge this.
**[06:35] ---**
Gigabreak?!
**[06:37] ---**
I held back earlier against Dino,
but not this time.
**[06:43] ---**
Former colleague or not, I won't let you
call humans great and live!
**[06:51] ---**
W-What an aura of wrath!
**[06:54] ---**
That was him holding back?!
**[06:56] ---**
I'll reduce both of you to ash!
**[07:10] ---**
It... It can't be!
**[07:16] ---**
Dai's back in action!
**[07:18] ---**
What?!
**[07:22] ---**
I cast Fullheal! He's at full stamina!
**[07:28] ---**
And what difference will it make?!
I'll just blow you all away!
**[07:34] ---**
Kazap!
**[07:41] ---**
What?! Impossible!
**[07:44] ---**
Crocodine, look where I aim
and use that attack!
**[07:48] ---**
Got it!
**[07:51] ---**
Avan Strash!
**[07:56] ---**
Right there!
**[07:58] ---**
Beast King Redemption Blast!
**[08:26] ---**
You did it!
**[08:29] ---**
Crocodine!
**[08:30] ---**
You're all right, Dai.
**[08:32] ---**
Your eye. Did he get your eye?
**[08:35] ---**
This is nothing.
**[08:38] ---**
Leona! We need you
to look at Crocodine's eye!
**[08:41] ---**
Got it!
**[08:44] ---**
Merle!
**[08:45] ---**
It's all right. Just his eyelid was cut.
**[08:48] ---**
What are you two still doing here?!
**[08:50] ---**
I wanted us to run.
**[08:53] ---**
But this one insisted on helping you.
**[08:59] ---**
I can do basic heal spells, too.
**[09:02] ---**
You shouldn't!
Leave the healing to Leona and run!
**[09:06] ---**
But...
**[09:07] ---**
Dai's right, young lady.
**[09:10] ---**
Huh?
**[09:10] ---**
Maybe if it were someone else, but
we're fighting to world's strongest man.
**[09:17] ---**
Still, after being hit
by an attack like that...
**[09:25] ---**
I knew it!
**[09:27] ---**
He fully deployed his Draconic Aura
to protect his whole body!
**[09:31] ---**
We're doomed!
**[09:32] ---**
He's unhurt after taking both Avan Strash
and Beast King Redemption Blast...
**[09:37] ---**
What are we supposed to do?!
**[09:39] ---**
No, it worked!
**[09:43] ---**
Blood?!
**[09:44] ---**
It's blood!
**[09:45] ---**
The same red blood that we have.
**[09:49] ---**
What?!
**[09:54] ---**
*Impossible.*
**[09:56] ---**
*They pierced my Draconic Aura
and damaged my body!*
**[10:01] ---**
*Even with help from his friends,
for such a small child...*
**[10:06] ---**
*But it wasn't just his power.*
**[10:09] ---**
*The power of his friends
had a large influence.*
**[10:12] ---**
*Dai's friends risked their lives
and did everything they could.*
**[10:17] ---**
*In turn, Dai's compassion for his friends,
made his heart multiply his power.*
**[10:23] ---**
*Unless that bond is broken,
Dai's power will continue to grow.*
**[10:29] ---**
*He may even be a threat to me eventually.*
**[10:32] ---**
He's coming!
**[10:35] ---**
Crocodine, it looks like
our attacks had an effect!
**[10:40] ---**
In that case...
**[10:41] ---**
Indeed. Either he falls or we do.
**[10:45] ---**
We just fight on until we're spent!
**[10:48] ---**
Unfortunately, the same trick
won't work twice.
**[10:52] ---**
You won't avoid my Gigabreak
with such tricks again.
**[10:58] ---**
But you never know.
**[11:01] ---**
The boy holds terrifying potential.
**[11:05] ---**
That is why I shall use all my focus
to take the source of Dai's power!
**[11:25] ---**
His Aura is gone?!
**[11:27] ---**
What is he up to?!
**[11:38] ---**
What the...?!
My crest is acting on its own!
**[11:47] ---**
What the hell is that noise?!
**[11:49] ---**
Their Dragon Crests are resonating!
**[11:59] ---**
BEAST KING REDEMPTION BLAST
**[12:04] ---**
GIGABREAK
**[12:09] ---**
M-My head... My head is splitting!
**[12:16] ---**
Grampa Brass?!
**[12:18] ---**
What are you doing here?!
**[12:26] ---**
Gomechan... and everybody from the island?
**[12:36] ---**
Why is this all flashing in my mind?!
**[12:51] ---**
Dai!
**[12:52] ---**
Dai!
**[12:58] ---**
Baran, what have you done?!
**[13:01] ---**
I've taken what my son no longer needs.
**[13:04] ---**
What?!
**[13:05] ---**
But I've used too much of my strength.
**[13:09] ---**
I must retreat for now.
**[13:12] ---**
I shall return to reclaim Dino.
**[13:18] ---**
Huh? Are we safe?
**[13:22] ---**
Dai!
**[13:24] ---**
Are you okay?
**[13:25] ---**
Man, what a relief!
**[13:28] ---**
What's wrong? You look dazed.
**[13:34] ---**
Who... are you?
**[13:41] ---**
What am I doing here?
**[13:56] ---**
Why did Baran just leave?
**[14:01] ---**
He can't have given up.
**[14:05] ---**
*I see.*
**[14:19] ---**
I got food, medicinal herbs,
and other things we might need.
**[14:24] ---**
Thanks. It's a real help.
**[14:27] ---**
But wasn't it hard
with the country in chaos?
**[14:30] ---**
It wasn't. It was the opposite.
**[14:33] ---**
Huh?
**[14:33] ---**
Everyone was shut inside
or praying to the heavens.
**[14:38] ---**
It was like the country was dead.
**[14:41] ---**
Seriously? After what just happened?
**[14:45] ---**
That's the sort of place Teran is.
**[14:50] ---**
It's all people who know nothing
but to worship and pray to the gods.
**[14:55] ---**
Who can blame them?
**[14:57] ---**
We'd like to do a little praying
of our own right now.
**[15:02] ---**
How's it look, Princess?
**[15:04] ---**
Crocodine's eye should heal.
**[15:07] ---**
But...
**[15:17] ---**
You're cute. What's your name?
**[15:21] ---**
Come here. Be my friend.
**[15:27] ---**
What's wrong? Why are you crying?
**[15:31] ---**
It's total amnesia.
**[15:34] ---**
No...
**[15:35] ---**
Baran said he took what Dai doesn't need.
**[15:40] ---**
He meant Dai's memories as a human.
**[15:43] ---**
Then that was some spell
that takes memories away?
**[15:48] ---**
No it wasn't.
**[15:50] ---**
*It was probably an attack
using the resonance of Dragon Crests.*
**[15:56] ---**
*He focused all of his energy
and funneled it all into Dai's brain.*
**[16:01] ---**
Dai was too young to handle
Baran's massive energy and was blown away.
**[16:07] ---**
As a result, Dai's memory was erased
leaving his mind a blank slate.
**[16:15] ---**
Can he be cured?
**[16:17] ---**
I don't know.
**[16:18] ---**
But right now, Dai is like an infant.
If Baran attacks us now...
**[16:24] ---**
Forget that!
**[16:26] ---**
What's more important is that
the memories of us in Dai's head is gone!
**[16:34] ---**
Tell me, Dai.
Do you really not remember anything?
**[16:38] ---**
Have you forgotten my face?
**[16:42] ---**
You all keep calling me "Dai."
**[16:46] ---**
Is that my name?
**[16:48] ---**
That's right! You're Dai!
**[16:51] ---**
You lived on Dermline Island with monsters
and you dreamed of being a future Hero!
**[16:55] ---**
And there... And there...
**[16:58] ---**
you met me!
**[17:02] ---**
Dermline Island... Hero...
**[17:09] ---**
My head... hurts!
**[17:19] ---**
Here. Put this on.
**[17:22] ---**
Thank you, mister.
**[17:29] ---**
Why you...! Have you even
forgotten my name, too?!
**[17:35] ---**
Even Master Avan who died to save us?!
**[17:39] ---**
Well?!
**[17:40] ---**
It hurts! You're hurting me!
**[17:43] ---**
Popp, stop it!
**[17:44] ---**
That's enough, Popp!
**[17:45] ---**
Come on!
**[17:49] ---**
Here! Take this sword! And remember!
**[17:53] ---**
Remember your greatest attack!
**[17:56] ---**
No. I can't do that!
**[17:59] ---**
The hell you can't!
**[18:02] ---**
You mastered Avan Strash! Something even
a genius like Hyunckel couldn't do!
**[18:08] ---**
Your brain may not remember,
but your body has to!
**[18:11] ---**
No! Swords scare me!
**[18:14] ---**
Do it! Do it now!
**[18:15] ---**
Be it Earth Slash or Wave Slash...
**[18:19] ---**
Just do it!
**[18:30] ---**
That man scares me! He's bullying me!
**[18:41] ---**
*It's hopeless.*
**[18:44] ---**
*With Dai like this...*
**[18:47] ---**
*when Baran attacks again...*
**[18:50] ---**
*we'll be powerless!*
**[18:54] ---**
Popp...
**[19:05] ---**
Let's go, Dai.
**[19:08] ---**
Huh?
**[19:09] ---**
Where the hell is Baran?!
**[19:12] ---**
Not only did he fail to capture Dai,
he hasn't reported back!
**[19:16] ---**
I knew we couldn't leave this to him!
**[19:20] ---**
No, that was a brilliant move.
**[19:24] ---**
To cut the bond between Dai
and his friends and render him useless.
**[19:30] ---**
And now it's...
**[19:32] ---**
checkmate.
**[19:34] ---**
The next battle will be one to see.
**[19:37] ---**
I'm sure Baran will gather
all the forces he can.
**[19:43] ---**
You mean...
**[19:44] ---**
Alert! Alert!
**[19:47] ---**
Baran has been located!
**[19:49] ---**
Where?!
**[19:50] ---**
The southern tip of Bengarna Kingdom.
He's been recuperating at Argo Point.
**[19:57] ---**
What is he doing now?
**[19:58] ---**
Showing now.
**[20:01] ---**
What are those three colored bonfires?
**[20:07] ---**
He's summoning the Dragon Masters.
**[20:09] ---**
What are they?
**[20:12] ---**
Baran is unmatched even when using
Dragons alone, so it's not widely known,
**[20:18] ---**
*but he has three powerful servants
called the Dragon Masters.*
**[20:24] ---**
I summon you, masters of the Three Fields.
**[20:29] ---**
It is time for the Dragon Legion
to go to battle!
**[20:37] ---**
The Dragon Masters are
**[20:39] ---**
powerful Dragon Riders
who control Dragons of land, sea, and sky.
**[20:44] ---**
When they gather under Baran, their
destructive power defies imagination.
**[20:51] ---**
He controls such servants?
**[20:54] ---**
He's pulling out all the stops.
**[20:56] ---**
So much for your chances, Hadlar.
**[21:06] ---**
There you are, Dragon Masters.
**[21:16] ---**
Member of the Dragon Masters,
Sky Rider Galdandy is here!
**[21:30] ---**
King of the Sea,
Sea Rider Borahorn has arrived!
**[21:45] ---**
Land Rider Larhart at your service.
**[21:53] ---**
We await your command.
**[22:20] ---**
*Kindness is the magic of kind people*
**[22:20] ---**
*yasashisa wa yasashii hito ga tsukaeru mahou*
**[22:25] ---**
*Then do I have no choice
But to just be a normal person?*

*At times I can be cowardly and small*
**[22:57] ---**

*What would you say to me
As I hesitate to even hesitate?*
**[23:01] ---**

**[23:08] ---**
*Unlike the today that I sought*

**[23:13] ---**
*I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment*
**[23:13] ---**
*ochikonnde shimau boku wo warau no darou*
**[23:34] ---**
*The three Dragon Masters
gather under Baran.*
**[23:36] ---**
*Together with Baran, they head
to Teran Kingdom to reclaim Dai.*
**[23:41] ---**
*Meanwhile, Dai remains without his memory.*
**[23:43] ---**
*The panic and uncertainty
creates cracks among his friends.*
**[23:47] ---**
*Baran and the Dragon Masters
advance without mercy.*
**[23:49] ---**
*But one man makes his way toward them.*
**[23:53] ---**

**[23:55] ---**

THE DRAGON MASTERS APPROACH
**[01:52] ---**
Thank you for coming.
**[01:54] ---**
I've been waiting.
**[01:56] ---**
It's been years
since we three have gathered.
**[02:00] ---**
To require all of us must mean
something big is going on.
**[02:06] ---**
Has the time come to burn the world?
**[02:11] ---**
My son, Dino, is alive.
**[02:15] ---**
Master Dino?!
**[02:17] ---**
The Hero Dai, who fights
the Dark Army is my son, Dino.
**[02:22] ---**
What a cruel twist of fate.
**[02:25] ---**
I've already fought the party he leads.
**[02:29] ---**
*Their bond of unity was stronger than I
anticipated, and I sustained some wounds.*
**[02:36] ---**
You were wounded?!
**[02:38] ---**
So that's why you came to Argo Point.
**[02:42] ---**
This is where the Fountain of Miracles
that heals Dragon Knights is located.
**[02:49] ---**
That wasn't my only reason.
**[02:51] ---**
*He means his wife.*
**[02:54] ---**
We understand, Master Baran.
You need our help to reclaim Master Dino.
**[03:01] ---**
Exactly. My son has
some troublesome allies.
**[03:05] ---**
They would risk death for Dai, the Hero.
**[03:08] ---**
Especially the two Legion Commanders
who betrayed the Dark Army.
**[03:12] ---**
Beast King Crocodine and Dark Swordsman
Hyunckel are not to be underestimated.
**[03:17] ---**
You're joking!
**[03:19] ---**
No Legion Commander of the Dark Army
aside from you could stand up to us!
**[03:25] ---**
You may be the most powerful Dragon Riders
of all Darklings and Beastlings,
**[03:32] ---**
but humans can display terrifying strength
when they're prepared to die.
**[03:38] ---**
If his allies should resist,
you three must crush them.
**[03:45] ---**
In the meantime, I shall reclaim my son.
**[03:48] ---**
Yes, Master!
**[03:49] ---**
I must prepare for battle.
Wait for me here.
**[03:55] ---**
Master Baran is ever the cautious one.
**[03:58] ---**
They're just a few humans
and a couple of traitors.
**[04:02] ---**
Watch your tongue, Galdandy!
**[04:04] ---**
Indeed. They say a lion
does not hold back when killing a hare.
**[04:08] ---**
Don't forget his caution has made
our glorious Dragon Legion undefeated.
**[04:16] ---**
*I get it already.*
**[04:24] ---**
*Soala, this time I shall get Dino back...*
**[04:29] ---**
*from those filthy humans!*
**[04:39] ---**
The Dragon Legion shall now
head to Teran Kingdom!
**[04:43] ---**
When my son, Dino, joins us,
our strength shall be absolute!
**[04:48] ---**
Yes, Master!
**[04:49] ---**
Follow me!
**[05:01] ---**
What a surprise.
**[05:02] ---**
With everyone calling you "Princess,"
I wondered who you were.
**[05:06] ---**
So you're the ruler of Papnica.
**[05:09] ---**
Otherwise, small as Teran may be,
its king would not so easily hear us.
**[05:20] ---**
His Majesty will see you know.
**[05:22] ---**
He is not feeling well and asks that
you forgive an audience in his chambers.
**[05:26] ---**
That's fine.
**[05:29] ---**
I'll wait outside.
Call me when you're done.
**[05:35] ---**
I see.
**[05:37] ---**
So that supernatural storm
was caused by the Dragon Knight.
**[05:41] ---**
And this child is the Dragon Knight's son.
**[05:46] ---**
It may have been a Psychic Signal
that took his memories.
**[05:50] ---**
A Psychic Signal?
**[05:52] ---**
Think of it as a mental wave
emitted from the Dragon Crest.
**[05:57] ---**
How can we restore his memory?
**[06:00] ---**
I do not know.
**[06:02] ---**
We merely worship the God of Dragons.
**[06:05] ---**
We know of the Dragon Knight,
but not of the full breadth of its powers.
**[06:11] ---**
I see.
**[06:12] ---**
Then will you let us use this castle
to shelter Dai?
**[06:16] ---**
You still seek to fight?
**[06:18] ---**
We do.
**[06:20] ---**
The people of Teran may think of
Baran's attack as divine will,
**[06:25] ---**
but it's an aggression against humanity.
**[06:28] ---**
We will fight against aggression.
**[06:30] ---**
I see. I had heard of the bravery
of the Princess of Papnica.
**[06:39] ---**
Kanar.
**[06:40] ---**
Your Majesty!
**[06:41] ---**
You will aid Princess Leona.
**[06:45] ---**
Yes, Your Majesty.
**[06:47] ---**
Thank you, Your Majesty.
**[06:51] ---**
Tell me, are you the famed Seer...?
**[06:55] ---**
Yes. I am Nabara.
**[06:57] ---**
And this one?
**[06:59] ---**
This is my granddaughter, Merle.
**[07:01] ---**
Come closer.
**[07:03] ---**
Huh?
**[07:05] ---**
Yes, Your Majesty.
**[07:16] ---**
You possess power
beyond that of your grandmother's.
**[07:19] ---**
Indeed. Recently, she's been able to
sense things I cannot.
**[07:26] ---**
Your power shall soon show you
terrifying and horrible things to come.
**[07:32] ---**
What?!
**[07:33] ---**
Do not resent your power.
**[07:36] ---**
It shall eventually help save humanity.
**[07:40] ---**
Trust that that day shall come
and live strong.
**[07:43] ---**
Yes, Your Majesty.
**[07:49] ---**
What's wrong?!
**[07:50] ---**
It's coming! An energy of such wrath!
Straight for this country!
**[07:55] ---**
You mean Baran?!
**[07:56] ---**
He's coming already?!
**[07:58] ---**
That's not all!
**[08:00] ---**
Other similar energies... Three of them!
**[08:05] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[08:07] ---**
Let me out! Let me out of here!
**[08:09] ---**
Isn't a prison cell going too far?
**[08:11] ---**
But this is the deepest,
most impregnable place in the castle.
**[08:16] ---**
But...
**[08:16] ---**
Let me out! Let me out!
**[08:21] ---**
Young lady, do you know
what "imprinting" is?
**[08:24] ---**
Huh?
**[08:25] ---**
It's when an animal hatches from its egg,
**[08:30] ---**
and assumes
the first thing it sees is its parent.
**[08:34] ---**
Baran's reduced Dai to a state
of a newly hatched infant.
**[08:39] ---**
If Dai encounters Baran now,
he'll probably accept Baran as his father.
**[08:46] ---**
They bear the same mark
as irrefutable proof.
**[08:50] ---**
It's cruel, but this is
the only way to prevent that.
**[08:55] ---**
We'll take care of the rest.
Please guard the king.
**[08:59] ---**
I'm sorry I could not do more.
**[09:07] ---**
Dai...
**[09:14] ---**
They're headed straight for Teran
from the southeast.
**[09:18] ---**
Can you show them, Old Lady?
**[09:20] ---**
I think so.
**[09:35] ---**
Who are they?!
**[09:37] ---**
These are the three sources of energy
aside from Baran?
**[09:40] ---**
Could they be the Dragon Masters?!
**[09:43] ---**
The Dragon Masters?
**[09:44] ---**
The most powerful Dragon Riders
that serve Baran.
**[09:48] ---**
With Dragons under their control, they're said
to rival even the Legion Commanders.
**[09:54] ---**
You mean he's brought three guys
each as strong as you?!
**[09:57] ---**
*We may not be strong enough
to hold them back.*
**[10:01] ---**
*Fighting Baran alone was difficult enough.*
**[10:05] ---**
*If only Hyunckel was here.*
**[10:15] ---**
We're done for. I guess that blows it.
**[10:18] ---**
Popp?
**[10:20] ---**
Sorry, but I'm not about to
die for nothing.
**[10:23] ---**
I'm bailing now.
You guys do whatever you like.
**[10:27] ---**
What are you saying all of a sudden?!
**[10:30] ---**
I'm saying I'm getting out of here.
**[10:32] ---**
If they're that strong, there's no point
in resisting. What a crock!
**[10:38] ---**
Popp, do you understand
what you're saying?!
**[10:41] ---**
You're the ones who don't understand!
**[10:44] ---**
Dai's like this and we're falling apart.
**[10:48] ---**
Now we're facing the most powerful Legion.
**[10:50] ---**
You'd have to be crazy
to consider fighting now.
**[10:54] ---**
I thought fighting for your friends,
even when there's no hope,
**[10:59] ---**
was what you
Disciples of Avan believed in!
**[11:02] ---**
If Dai falls into their hands now,
the human world will end!
**[11:06] ---**
That's right!
I thought you were Dai's best friend!
**[11:10] ---**
Are you really willing
to abandon Dai now and run?!
**[11:14] ---**
Don't worry about him.
He's not even human.
**[11:18] ---**
He's one of them.
Why not give him back to them?
**[11:22] ---**
They'll take good care of him!
**[11:31] ---**
Very well. Get out of my sight.
**[11:33] ---**
We won't enlist the aid of one like you.
**[11:38] ---**
Well that's a relief. Thanks!
**[11:41] ---**
Popp!
**[11:42] ---**
Wait, Popp!
**[11:44] ---**
Do not follow him, Crocodine!
**[11:46] ---**
We need you here to defend this position.
**[11:50] ---**
But...!
**[11:55] ---**
Princess...
**[11:57] ---**
I've always admired the Disciples of Avan.
**[12:02] ---**
If Master Avan was still alive,
I was hoping to learn from him.
**[12:07] ---**
I believed Popp would stay with us
because he's a Disciple of Avan.
**[12:18] ---**
What happened to your courage, Popp?
**[12:22] ---**
Popp...?
**[12:27] ---**
Popp...? Who...?
**[12:34] ---**
Popp!
**[12:36] ---**
Merle?
**[12:38] ---**
Was it all a lie?
**[12:40] ---**
When you said Dai was your friend
even if he was a monster!
**[12:44] ---**
Were those words...
Those tears... All of it?
**[12:55] ---**
I hate you.
**[12:59] ---**
I don't like you anymore!
**[13:07] ---**
I remember when Maam punched me
and said I disgusted her.
**[13:13] ---**
*But this isn't like back then!*
**[13:17] ---**
*If I tried to go alone, you'd stop me.
That's why I had to say that.*
**[13:21] ---**
*I'm sorry!*
**[13:23] ---**
*Look after Dai, everyone!
I'll stop them, even if I die trying!*
**[13:27] ---**
*I may not win, but I'll take
one or two of them out with me!*
**[13:34] ---**
*So take care of the rest!*
**[13:40] ---**
CRACKLE ICE-TYPE SPELL
**[13:46] ---**
GIGABREAK
**[13:54] ---**
Stop right there!
**[13:59] ---**
You're not going any farther!
**[14:03] ---**
Look who's here to stop us!
**[14:06] ---**
Are the others lying in wait?
**[14:07] ---**
No, it doesn't seem like it.
**[14:09] ---**
Are you insane?! Or just an idiot?!
**[14:16] ---**
*Victory to the quick!*
**[14:18] ---**
Galdandy, don't underestimate him!
**[14:20] ---**
He wields spells
stronger than you'd expect.
**[14:24] ---**
That scrawny wimp?!
**[14:27] ---**
Donk!
**[14:37] ---**
Be crushed!
**[14:39] ---**
Please be crushed!
**[14:48] ---**
Thanks for lifting me up!
You're a real help, Ruud!
**[14:51] ---**
Dammit! One escaped above!
**[15:03] ---**
Such weak Dragons! Pathetic!
**[15:07] ---**
You're brave to try to stop us alone.
**[15:11] ---**
Master Baran, leave this to us.
**[15:14] ---**
We shall catch up,
so you should hurry to Master Dino.
**[15:19] ---**
Very well. I leave this to you.
**[15:23] ---**
But don't underestimate him.
**[15:25] ---**
I said it before,
humans who are prepared to die
**[15:29] ---**
can display terrifying strength.
**[15:33] ---**
"A cornered rat will bite a cat."
You never know what the desperate will do.
**[15:38] ---**
Isn't that what the humans say?
**[15:41] ---**
I'm going ahead.
**[15:44] ---**
Hold it!
**[15:50] ---**
Dammit!
**[15:51] ---**
Know your place, boy!
**[15:53] ---**
A pipsqueak like you couldn't fight
Master Baran in a million years!
**[15:58] ---**
Shut up! Kafrizz!
**[16:06] ---**
With a single breath...?!
**[16:10] ---**
That's not all you've got, is it?!
**[16:14] ---**
You thought you could fight
the Dragon Masters with that?!
**[16:23] ---**
Are you trying to make me laugh?!
**[16:32] ---**
Too frail, boy!
**[16:34] ---**
That's enough, Borahorn.
**[16:35] ---**
What?
**[16:37] ---**
He's nothing more than a fledgling.
**[16:39] ---**
Don't make him suffer.
Just drop him on this and end it.
**[16:46] ---**
I guess so.
For a toy, he's not very fun to play with.
**[17:06] ---**
Galdandy?!
**[17:08] ---**
I'll take this toy
if you two don't want it!
**[17:13] ---**
He's a juicy human prey! It's no fun
unless we take our time killing him!
**[17:19] ---**
As cruel as ever, I see.
**[17:21] ---**
*They're strong! They're going to kill me!*
**[17:26] ---**
*Dammit! If I'm going to die,
I have to hit them at least once or twice!*
**[17:31] ---**
*Otherwise, what's the point in me dying?!*
**[17:38] ---**
Whoops. Are you dead already, kid?
**[17:42] ---**
I-It hurts! I'm done for!
**[17:45] ---**
Please! Just end it by biting off my head!
**[17:50] ---**
Weakling!
**[17:52] ---**
Oh well. Since you asked so nicely!
**[17:58] ---**
Sizzle!
**[18:05] ---**
I guess you can do anything
if you're desperate.
**[18:09] ---**
I don't believe it. That kid killed
Galdandy's favorite Ethereal Serpent.
**[18:14] ---**
The rat actually bit the cat.
**[18:17] ---**
But his resistance comes at a steep price.
**[18:20] ---**
*That takes care of their Dragons.
The real fight starts now.*
**[18:31] ---**
This... This is impossible!
**[18:35] ---**
How could you die?!
**[18:39] ---**
*What the hell?*
**[18:43] ---**
How cruel! This is too much!
**[18:50] ---**
What are you crying about, birdface?!
**[18:53] ---**
You've killed tons of humans!
**[18:57] ---**
Killed tons of humans?
**[19:01] ---**
This Ethereal Serpent, Ruud,
was the only friend I ever trusted!
**[19:08] ---**
He was like my brother!
**[19:10] ---**
We were always together, no matter what.
**[19:14] ---**
How dare you compare my beloved Dragon...
**[19:18] ---**
to some filthy little humans!
**[19:24] ---**
What are these feathers?!
**[19:27] ---**
They won't come out!
**[19:28] ---**
I'll slice you to pieces!
**[19:30] ---**
So much that
they'll never find your pieces!
**[19:34] ---**
G-Get away from me!
**[19:38] ---**
*That's it! They're all on the ground now!*
**[19:42] ---**
Donk!
**[19:47] ---**
My spell's not working?!
**[19:48] ---**
You can't use
such powerful spells anymore.
**[19:51] ---**
Your Magic Power is leaking out right now.
**[19:56] ---**
You mean...?!
**[19:57] ---**
That's right. Those white feathers
drain an enemy's Magic Power!
**[20:03] ---**
Dammit!
**[20:04] ---**
And these red feathers, drain stamina.
**[20:07] ---**
Do you get it?
**[20:10] ---**
I'm going to reduce you to
an empty rag doll before I slice you up!
**[20:14] ---**
I'll make you fear for your life!
**[20:19] ---**
Kafrizz!
**[20:21] ---**
Then, Frizzle!
**[20:24] ---**
Stop resisting!
**[20:32] ---**
*It's no good! I feel weak!*
**[20:36] ---**
I won't let you die so easily.
**[20:38] ---**
I'm dragging this out!
**[20:43] ---**
Take this and this and this!
**[20:45] ---**
Does it hurt?! I bet it does!
**[20:47] ---**
He's gone mad. Even we can't stop him now.
**[20:52] ---**
The boy could've died painlessly
if he hadn't resisted.
**[20:56] ---**
Poor kid.
**[21:01] ---**
You're braver than I thought.
That pisses me off!
**[21:05] ---**
*I've got to fight back! While I still have
stamina and Magic Power!*
**[21:10] ---**
*I have to do something!*
**[21:13] ---**
Oh! I like that face right there!
**[21:16] ---**
I know. I'll do what you did to Ruud!
**[21:19] ---**
I'll blow your head off like him!
**[21:23] ---**
That's it! That's the look!
**[21:25] ---**
Just keep that face!
**[21:38] ---**
Who's there?!
**[21:49] ---**
Great. I'm saved by
the last guy I want saving me.
**[21:54] ---**
Sorry to disappoint.

LAND RIDER LARHART
**[02:08] ---**
Dino...
**[02:20] ---**
Does it hurt?! I bet it does!
**[02:25] ---**
You're braver than I thought.
That pisses me off!
**[02:30] ---**
*I've got to fight back! While I still have
stamina and Magic Power!*
**[02:34] ---**
*I have to do something!*
**[02:36] ---**
Oh! I like that face right there!
**[02:40] ---**
I know. I'll do what you did to Ruud!
**[02:43] ---**
I'll blow your head off like him!
**[02:47] ---**
That's it! That's the look!
**[02:49] ---**
Just keep that face!
**[03:02] ---**
Who's there?!
**[03:13] ---**
Great. I'm saved by
the last guy I want saving me.
**[03:18] ---**
Sorry to disappoint.
**[03:25] ---**
I guess I should thank you, Hyunckel.
**[03:35] ---**
I see.
**[03:36] ---**
So that man is the Hyunckel
Master Baran spoke of.
**[03:48] ---**
Popp, it looks like you've been
overextending yourself.
**[03:55] ---**
You tried to stop your enemies alone?
**[03:59] ---**
I didn't have a choice in the matter.
**[04:07] ---**
Dai's memories have been erased...
**[04:12] ---**
by his father, Baran!
**[04:18] ---**
*So Dai and Baran
are related by blood after all.*
**[04:23] ---**
*But what's this
about his memories being erased?*
**[04:31] ---**
So, where's Baran?
**[04:35] ---**
He went ahead to get Dai!
**[04:39] ---**
I see.
**[04:43] ---**
Then we don't have time to waste
on these scrubs.
**[04:49] ---**
What?!
**[04:51] ---**
That cocky bastard!
**[04:54] ---**
Former Undead Legion Commander
of the Dark Army or not,
**[04:58] ---**
he's just a human!
**[05:01] ---**
I'll slice you up just like that kid!
**[05:08] ---**
Popp...
**[05:10] ---**
You can have that one.
**[05:12] ---**
Pay him back for what he did to you.
**[05:18] ---**
Are you sure?
I'll be taking your spotlight.
**[05:22] ---**
What the hell?! Are you serious?!
**[05:25] ---**
That battered little kid can't fight me!
**[05:30] ---**
You fight me!
**[05:33] ---**
There's no way you can beat Popp.
**[05:39] ---**
If by chance you should...
**[05:42] ---**
then I'll fight you.
**[05:48] ---**
This guy is a complete moron!
**[05:52] ---**
You're letting the guy you saved die!
**[05:58] ---**
Fine then.
**[06:00] ---**
This time I'll finish the job!
**[06:06] ---**
And then I'll be coming for you!
**[06:15] ---**
*All I need are two more spells!*
**[06:19] ---**
*I hope my Magic Power holds out!*
**[06:25] ---**
Die!
**[06:27] ---**
Levizoom!
**[06:32] ---**
What a joke!
You want to fight me in the air?!
**[06:37] ---**
What?!
**[06:39] ---**
I told you, you can't beat him.
**[06:44] ---**
*I hit you with my Bloody Scryde.*
**[06:48] ---**
It leaves a mark.
**[06:51] ---**
You can have the rest of my Magic Power!
**[06:57] ---**
Bang!
**[07:07] ---**
Galdandy!
**[07:13] ---**
I did it.
**[07:15] ---**
But my Magic Power's all empty.
**[07:22] ---**
You did well.
**[07:25] ---**
Don't worry. Get some rest.
**[07:31] ---**
I'm not worried.
**[07:34] ---**
Your attitude sucks,
but I know how strong you are.
**[07:41] ---**
I think I'll be taking you up
on getting some rest now.
**[07:55] ---**
*You truly did a good job, Popp.*
**[08:00] ---**
Curse you! How dare you
do that to Galdandy!
**[08:06] ---**
You'll pay for that!
**[08:09] ---**
I'll pay for that?
**[08:12] ---**
That's right!
This time, I, Borahorn shall...
**[08:23] ---**
Borahorn!
**[08:25] ---**
You're the ones who'll pay.
**[08:29] ---**
I don't know who you are...
**[08:35] ---**
*What an imposing Aura!*
**[08:39] ---**
...but after what you did
to my junior disciple,
**[08:44] ---**
don't expect to walk away from this!
**[08:48] ---**
You bastard! You broke my precious fangs!
**[08:53] ---**
I'll pulverize you!
**[08:56] ---**
Just fight already.
**[08:59] ---**
I'm in a hurry.
**[09:01] ---**
You brat! You think you're so strong?!
**[09:06] ---**
The strength of Sea Rider Borahorn
is unrivaled in the world!
**[09:11] ---**
Taste it for yourself!
**[09:21] ---**
Impossible! Where does such a frail body
hide such strength?!
**[09:26] ---**
You really think that this is
"unrivaled in the world"?
**[09:32] ---**
My friend has
twice the strength in his arms.
**[09:38] ---**
Why you...!
**[09:48] ---**
Well? Weren't you going to pulverize me?
**[09:55] ---**
I was just about to!
**[09:58] ---**
Glacial Breath!
**[10:06] ---**
*That should finish it.*
**[10:09] ---**
*Borahorn's Glacial Breath
is as strong as a Kacrackle spell.*
**[10:27] ---**
*If I strike someone when they're
frozen solid by my Glacial Breath...*
**[10:33] ---**
*they shatter like glass!*
**[10:37] ---**
*This is how I've always won!*
**[10:45] ---**
*As promised, I'll pulverize you!*
**[10:55] ---**
*What's that? What is he doing?*
**[10:59] ---**
*No, he can't do anything! How could he?!*
**[11:02] ---**
Now shatter!
**[11:07] ---**
What?!
**[11:15] ---**
That's...!
**[11:16] ---**
My Glacial Breath didn't work?!
**[11:32] ---**
Play time is over!
**[11:40] ---**
Bloody Scryde!
**[12:08] ---**
Something's strange.
**[12:10] ---**
It seems the enemy
has decreased in number.
**[12:26] ---**
Are you next?
**[12:29] ---**
Not bad for a human.
**[12:33] ---**
But don't assume I'm like the other two.
**[12:38] ---**
Stop trying to bluff.
**[12:40] ---**
As you can see, my armour
repels attack spells and breath.
**[12:46] ---**
I know.
**[12:48] ---**
That was made by Lon Beruk,
the greatest craftsman in the Underworld.
**[12:55] ---**
It's the Dark Armour Blade.
**[12:58] ---**
This was a gift. I don't know who made it.
**[13:03] ---**
I see.
**[13:05] ---**
But I wasn't bluffing just now.
**[13:09] ---**
I'm not very good at spells.
More importantly, my weapon rivals yours!
**[13:17] ---**
Wait, is that...?!
**[13:19] ---**
Take a good look
at Lon Beruk's other masterpiece!
**[13:27] ---**
The Dark Armour Spear!
**[13:31] ---**
Amdo!
**[13:46] ---**
BLOODY SCRYDE
**[13:51] ---**
FULLHEAL
HEAL-TYPE SPELL
**[13:54] ---**
Amdo!
**[14:09] ---**
The same armour as me?!
**[14:12] ---**
And now we're equal.
**[14:15] ---**
No. I'm a better warrior,
so I guess I have the advantage?
**[14:23] ---**
Save your lies!
**[14:30] ---**
You've shown me your best attack.
I should repay in kind.
**[14:46] ---**
Now see my best attack!
**[15:11] ---**
I'd say that was a decent dodge,
but that was merely a greeting.
**[15:18] ---**
Take a look at your helm.
**[15:30] ---**
Well?
**[15:32] ---**
You claimed to be the greatest swordsman,
**[15:36] ---**
but can you do that with a sword?
**[15:42] ---**
*He's right. Without terrifying speed,*
**[15:45] ---**
*and needle-point accuracy,
such a feat is impossible.*
**[15:52] ---**
*And he did it without even
scratching my forehead!*
**[15:59] ---**
Looks like you understand.
**[16:03] ---**
Indeed, you're a powerful swordsman.
**[16:06] ---**
But your blade is all muscle.
**[16:11] ---**
You're no match for me.
**[16:13] ---**
If I wanted to, I could easily
pierce your heart
**[16:19] ---**
before you finished blinking.
**[16:23] ---**
Rubbish! If you really can do that...
**[16:28] ---**
then let's see you try!
**[16:38] ---**
Dammit!
**[16:40] ---**
Wave Slash!
**[16:48] ---**
*Even Wave Slash, the fastest Avan Style
attack can't even scratch him!*
**[16:56] ---**
That appears to be your limit.
**[17:02] ---**
I see. You have power in your attacks.
**[17:07] ---**
But even with that power,
unless you can hit me,
**[17:12] ---**
it's meaningless!
**[17:30] ---**
*It's the same as before!
I can't see his strikes at all!*
**[17:36] ---**
*It's just a flash of light!*
**[17:52] ---**
*Dammit! I have to do something
about his attacks!*
**[17:58] ---**
Give it up!
**[18:00] ---**
You'll never see my attacks!
**[18:17] ---**
And now, as promised...
**[18:22] ---**
I shall pierce your heart!
**[18:29] ---**
*He's strong!*
**[18:31] ---**
*He's on a completely different level
than the other two!*
**[18:46] ---**
*Trying to see
those speed attacks... is impossible!*
**[18:59] ---**
Oh? You still haven't given up?
**[19:08] ---**
*It's a gamble,
but I'll have to let him hit me...*
**[19:14] ---**
*and strike back while he's not moving!*
**[19:19] ---**
*If I can withstand his attack
and pull him in,*
**[19:23] ---**
*then I just unleash
my Bloody Scryde straight ahead!*
**[19:27] ---**
*My attacks are more devastating than his!*
**[19:38] ---**
Very well.
**[19:40] ---**
Then I shall end it with this.
**[19:44] ---**
Die!
**[19:47] ---**
Now!
**[19:49] ---**
Bloody Scryde!
**[19:55] ---**
*No!*
**[19:57] ---**
*He merely threw his gauntlet at me!*
**[20:03] ---**
I thought you would do that!
**[20:05] ---**
But I'm not foolish enough
to fall for that!
**[20:10] ---**
Take this!
The Land Rider's most powerful strike!
**[20:16] ---**
Sunder Claw!
**[20:25] ---**
*Unbelievable!*
**[20:27] ---**
*Nothing I could do worked on him!*
**[20:35] ---**
*Dai...*
**[20:49] ---**
You are only human after all.
**[20:58] ---**
Something strange with the enemy?
What do you mean?
**[21:03] ---**
I'm not sure.
**[21:06] ---**
Here. Let me try my crystal ball again.
**[21:12] ---**
What's that noise?
**[21:19] ---**
Dai!
**[21:20] ---**
Someone's coming.
**[21:24] ---**
I can tell. I know him!
**[21:30] ---**
Dino, no matter where they hide you...
**[21:35] ---**
I can detect where you are.
**[21:41] ---**
For we are connected
by our bond of blood.
**[22:04] ---**
*Even if you face the devil
With logic on your side*
**[22:04] ---**
*tatoe akuma ni seiron kazashite

**[22:07] ---**
*It may just be a rationalization*
**[22:07] ---**

**[22:11] ---**
*Even now, even now I waver*

**[22:15] ---**
*How far will we go?*
**[22:15] ---**

*I heard a voice like an angel's whisper*
**[22:19] ---**
*tenshi no sasayaki nimo nita

*Maybe it was an imposter's illusion
It still rang in my ears*

**[22:26] ---**

*On the path strewn with pride*

*The SOS I held back*

**[22:44] ---**
*I clenched my trembling fist*

**[22:48] ---**
*That single little promise*
**[22:48] ---**
*tatta hitotsu no chiisana yakusoku ga*
**[22:53] ---**
*Those trivial little memories*
**[22:53] ---**

I managed to grasp through my faith*

**[23:33] ---**
*Baran slowly makes his way to Dai.*
**[23:37] ---**
*Meanwhile, Popp and Hyunckel fall before
the Dragon Masters trying to protect Dai.*
**[23:42] ---**
*Eventually Larhart begins to tell
the story of Baran's astonishing past.*

DAI'S SECRET
**[01:51] ---**
The Dragon Knight is approaching.
**[01:56] ---**
He's close!
**[01:57] ---**
The Dragon Knight?!
**[01:58] ---**
It's Baran!
**[02:00] ---**
They're connected by their crests.
He'll reach this castle soon!
**[02:06] ---**
We must ready our defenses!
**[02:08] ---**
Got it!
**[02:09] ---**
You and I will be the defense!
**[02:13] ---**
Madam Nabara and Merle
will stay here with Dai!
**[02:17] ---**
It's too dangerous!
**[02:19] ---**
You can't fight Baran and leave unscathed!
You'll need my Healing-type spells!
**[02:36] ---**
Very well.
**[02:37] ---**
You're not one to be
talked out of your decisions.
**[02:42] ---**
Exactly. Let's get going!
**[02:46] ---**
Madam Nabara, Merle,
don't let Dai out of his cell!
**[02:56] ---**
What is it, miss?
**[03:09] ---**
What?! What are you doing?!
**[03:10] ---**
Stand still.
**[03:12] ---**
Huh?! What is this?!
**[03:13] ---**
A weapon! Use it to defend yourself!
**[03:17] ---**
D-Defend myself?
**[03:20] ---**
Isn't it obvious? You use this to fight!
**[03:23] ---**
No way! I can't! It's too scary!
**[03:27] ---**
Take it off, miss!
**[03:49] ---**
Dai, I've told you before. You're a Hero!
**[03:55] ---**
You're small but brave
and bright and sincere.
**[03:59] ---**
That's the real you!
**[04:02] ---**
This cowardly you isn't a Hero!
It isn't who Dai is!
**[04:08] ---**
That's not true. I can't be a Hero.
**[04:17] ---**
Besides, if we wait,
someone will come to protect me.
**[04:24] ---**
*He instinctively senses
that Baran is his father after all.*
**[04:30] ---**
You're wrong.
**[04:32] ---**
That's the enemy!
**[04:35] ---**
The enemy?
**[04:36] ---**
That's right! He took precious
memories of us from you!
**[04:42] ---**
He's a terrible enemy!
**[04:44] ---**
Don't be happy that he's coming!
**[04:47] ---**
Princess Leona...
**[04:50] ---**
Fight, Dai! Fight to regain what's yours!
**[04:55] ---**
Your memories and courage!
**[04:58] ---**
Courage...
**[05:01] ---**
Come, Crocodine.
**[05:02] ---**
Understood.
**[05:08] ---**
Come to think of it...
**[05:12] ---**
*I think... something like this....*
**[05:16] ---**
happened before.
**[05:28] ---**
I see you aren't quite dead yet.
But I will not finish you off.
**[05:32] ---**
You can wallow in shame
and feel regret as you bleed out.
**[05:37] ---**
I must hurry and regroup
with Master Baran to reclaim Master Dino.
**[05:43] ---**
*"Dino"? Does he mean Dai?*
**[05:49] ---**
You still bother to resist?
**[05:51] ---**
Father or not...
I can't let him... take Dai.
**[05:59] ---**
Dai is...
**[06:02] ---**
Dai is...
**[06:05] ---**
the hope of all humans
living in this world!
**[06:09] ---**
What rubbish!
**[06:11] ---**
The filthy humans of this world
don't deserve such a thing!
**[06:16] ---**
What?!
**[06:17] ---**
Very well.
I shall tell you before you die.
**[06:21] ---**
The reason why Master Baran hates humans!
**[06:25] ---**
The only woman Master Baran ever loved,
in other words, Master Dino's mother...
**[06:33] ---**
was murdered by humans!
**[06:36] ---**
The ones who killed Dai's mother
were humans?!
**[06:40] ---**
Why would humans...
Just who was Dai's mother?!
**[06:50] ---**
Normally, only one
Dragon Knight exists at a time.
**[06:56] ---**
The power of a Dragon Knight
can reshape the heavens and earth.
**[07:00] ---**
Thus only one in a generation
can possess it in this world.
**[07:07] ---**
*When a Dragon Knight's life ends,
the Holy Mother Dragon descends.*
**[07:13] ---**
*It is said that she caringly cradles
the battle-weary knight's body.*
**[07:19] ---**
*And the Dragon Crest,
having fulfilled its duty,*
**[07:23] ---**
*is passed on to the life
the Mother Dragon carries within her.*
**[07:30] ---**
*A new knight now within her,
she gives birth in a distant land.*
**[07:36] ---**
*The humans there worship the child
as a divine child and raise it.*
**[07:41] ---**
And when the knight is fully grown,
it awakens to its duty.
**[07:47] ---**
Thus, no Dragon Knight ever knows
parent or offspring.
**[07:53] ---**
They are destined to a life
of never-ending battle.
**[07:59] ---**
But something unusual happened
in Master Baran's generation.
**[08:02] ---**
Fifteen years ago...
**[08:05] ---**
*When Hadlar laid waste to the world,
the Dragon Knight did not appear.*
**[08:13] ---**
*It was a human Hero who defeated Hadlar.*
**[08:17] ---**
Avan...!
**[08:18] ---**
At the time, Master Baran
was fighting a greater threat.
**[08:24] ---**
For it is a Dragon Knight's duty to punish
those who disrupt the world's balance.
**[08:31] ---**
*Compared to the threat of
Velzar, King of the Abyss,*
**[08:35] ---**
*who was the last intelligent Dragon
seeking to conquer this world,*
**[08:39] ---**
*even Hadlar was trivial enough
to be ignored.*
**[08:46] ---**
*Having vanquished Velzar and his kin,
Master Baran was mortally wounded.*
**[08:54] ---**
*Master Baran used the last of his strength*
**[08:57] ---**
*to reach the Fountain of Miracles
said to heal Dragon Knights.*
**[09:13] ---**
I...
**[09:15] ---**
I was so close...
**[09:20] ---**
Drink this.
**[09:22] ---**
It is said to ease wounds and illness.
**[09:26] ---**
A human woman?
**[09:32] ---**
*That was Master Baran
and Lady Soala's meeting.*
**[09:39] ---**
*Weary from battle, Master Baran
found the sun in Lady Soala.*
**[09:45] ---**
*Eventually, love between them blossomed.*
**[09:48] ---**
*Lady Soala was princess of Alkeed Kingdom
and when Master Baran came to the palace,*
**[09:55] ---**
*the two grew even closer.*
**[09:58] ---**
*But there were vassals
who found this displeasing.*
**[10:02] ---**
*They couldn't stand a stranger
winning claim to the throne.*
**[10:07] ---**
Your Majesty, there are rumors
that knight is not human.
**[10:11] ---**
W-What?!
**[10:12] ---**
He may be a surviving servant
of the Dark Lord.
**[10:18] ---**
*The fear of Hadlar being a recent memory,
the humans banished Master Baran.*
**[10:30] ---**
Soala...
**[10:39] ---**
It seems life with a human
was never meant for me.
**[10:45] ---**
My time with you was a happy one.
**[10:49] ---**
Farewell.
**[10:55] ---**
Baran!
**[10:57] ---**
Please! Don't leave us!
**[11:02] ---**
"Us"?!
**[11:03] ---**
Soala, are you with child?!
**[11:07] ---**
Unbelievable!
**[11:08] ---**
The Dragon Knight...
A bloodstained Slayer has sired a child?!
**[11:28] ---**
Then that child...!
**[11:31] ---**
It is Master Dino.
**[11:33] ---**
*Dai is the child of
a Dragon Knight and a human?!*
**[11:38] ---**
The three of them...
**[11:40] ---**
*lived quietly,
deep in the forests of Teran.*
**[11:44] ---**
Soala, what shall we name him?
**[11:49] ---**
How about Dino? It means
"Strong Dragon" in the Alkeed language.
**[11:55] ---**
Dino, the Strong Dragon. A good name!
**[11:58] ---**
Dino!
**[11:59] ---**
Oh dear...
**[12:04] ---**
Dino, don't worry.
That was scary, wasn't it?
**[12:08] ---**
*But the humans...*
**[12:09] ---**
did not let them enjoy
their days of peace for long.
**[12:14] ---**
*A monster kidnapping their princess
would shame their country.*
**[12:18] ---**
*Enraged, the king hunted them down
and surrounded them with a battalion.*
**[12:25] ---**
My love!
**[12:27] ---**
*I mustn't kill any humans.*
**[12:33] ---**
*Master Baran made his decision.*
**[12:36] ---**
Wait, my love!
**[12:38] ---**
I surrender.
But do not harm Soala or my son.
**[12:43] ---**
Very well. He may be a monster's spawn,
but he's still my grandson.
**[12:48] ---**
He cannot stay here,
but I shall send him to a foreign land.
**[12:52] ---**
*Master Baran allowed
the Alkeed soldiers to capture him.*
**[12:58] ---**
*And Master Dino was taken from Lady Soala
and sent to a foreign land.*
**[13:05] ---**
You are sentenced to death!
**[13:10] ---**
*Soala... Dino... May you find happiness.*
**[13:15] ---**
Fire!
**[13:18] ---**
No!
**[13:47] ---**
Soala?
**[13:48] ---**
Soala!
**[13:50] ---**
Soala!
**[13:52] ---**
M-My love...
**[13:56] ---**
How foolish! Why would you do this?!
**[13:59] ---**
I-I couldn't bear...
to see my father and the others...
**[14:07] ---**
continue... such cruelty.
**[14:11] ---**
Soala!
**[14:13] ---**
But... please don't hate humans.
**[14:18] ---**
They're all just scared.
**[14:20] ---**
Enough! Don't speak!
**[14:24] ---**
Please...
**[14:26] ---**
Find... Dino...
**[14:29] ---**
And live together... in peace...
**[14:46] ---**
Soala?
**[14:55] ---**
Soala!
**[14:58] ---**
That fool! To die for a monster?!
What a disgrace!
**[15:04] ---**
A disgrace?!
**[15:06] ---**
Just who do you think you are?!
**[15:10] ---**
Begone! Begone, humans!
**[15:16] ---**
*Alkeed Kingdom vanished from this world.*
**[15:20] ---**
What hopelessly selfish creatures!
**[15:23] ---**
To think I fought the King of the Abyss
to protect such swine!
**[15:31] ---**
If I knew humans were such filth...
**[15:35] ---**
I never would have protected them!
**[15:40] ---**
Master Baran searched the world,
but he never found Master Dino.
**[15:46] ---**
*Apparently, the ship was lost at sea.*
**[15:50] ---**
It was in his deepest despair
that Vearn, the Dark King approached him.
**[15:56] ---**
He said, "Don't you think the humans
should be wiped out first?"
**[16:00] ---**
This is Master Baran's sad past
that he has told only me.
**[16:05] ---**
What?! You still...?!
**[16:08] ---**
Larhart, you are indeed powerful.
**[16:12] ---**
I doubt I even have
the strength left to stand.
**[16:16] ---**
But, after hearing that story,
I realized I had to get back up.
**[16:22] ---**
For Dai...
**[16:24] ---**
and for Baran!
**[16:29] ---**
BEAST KING REDEMPTION BLAST
**[16:35] ---**
AVAN STRASH
**[16:40] ---**
For Master Baran?!
**[16:42] ---**
I know very well how Baran feels.
**[16:45] ---**
What?!
**[16:46] ---**
I, too, once lost faith
in the human world.
**[16:51] ---**
I sold my soul to the Dark Army,
and sought to destroy everything.
**[16:56] ---**
But I realized...
**[16:58] ---**
No, my friends made me realize...
**[17:02] ---**
that there was still hope
for the human world!
**[17:07] ---**
And now, I want to
help Baran realize this.
**[17:12] ---**
I might be able to...
**[17:14] ---**
What could you possibly know?!
**[17:17] ---**
You think Master Baran's pain
is something so light that you can ease?!
**[17:23] ---**
Don't make me laugh!
**[17:28] ---**
Impossible! I aimed for your heart!
**[17:31] ---**
I can see through your attacks!
**[17:33] ---**
What?!
**[17:35] ---**
To be honest,
**[17:37] ---**
I was fighting you
while saving myself to fight Baran.
**[17:42] ---**
That's why I tried to keep my distance
when dodging your attacks.
**[17:49] ---**
But now, I don't care
if you hit me or not!
**[17:55] ---**
This is what allows me
to barely dodge any mortal blows!
**[18:00] ---**
Cocky bastard!
**[18:45] ---**
Where does this strength come from?!
**[18:47] ---**
And you're faster than before!
**[18:50] ---**
This is the power a human wields
when risking his life!
**[18:53] ---**
I won't accept that!
**[19:17] ---**
You were wise to bring the fight in close.
**[19:21] ---**
But once distance is gained,
a sword cannot beat a spear!
**[19:26] ---**
I doubt you can even move now.
**[19:29] ---**
I could end this with a single thrust...
**[19:34] ---**
but that won't satisfy my anger!
**[19:37] ---**
*His Sunder Claw!*
**[19:39] ---**
Feel the sting of my claw once more!
**[19:44] ---**
Die a ghastly death!
As punishment for your nonsense!
**[19:50] ---**
Sunder Claw!
**[19:55] ---**
I've got you! You fell for
my final life-risking trap!
**[20:01] ---**
What?!
**[20:03] ---**
Take a good look at the shape of the Aura
our weapons create!
**[20:09] ---**
A cross?!
**[20:13] ---**
Grand Cross!
**[20:15] ---**
*Impossible!*
**[20:19] ---**
*He was hiding a weapon
charged with his Aura?!*
**[20:25] ---**
*But he was completely defenseless!*
**[20:41] ---**
W-Where did you hide such a weapon?!
**[20:46] ---**
This was the only weapon I had left!
**[20:52] ---**
That flimsy little chain?
**[20:56] ---**
This chain is unbreakable.
**[20:59] ---**
It is a symbol of
the bond of the Disciples of Avan!
**[21:05] ---**
The bond...
**[21:20] ---**
Using Grand Cross
leaves me weak for a while.
**[21:29] ---**
You're still alive?!
**[21:36] ---**
Very well.
This time I'll pierce your face!
**[21:41] ---**
Can you?
**[21:45] ---**
Popp!
**[21:46] ---**
Drop your weapon!
Otherwise, I crush the boy's skull!
**[21:51] ---**
You dirty...!
**[21:56] ---**
Don't!
**[22:04] ---**
*Even if you face the devil
With logic on your side*
**[22:04] ---**

BARAN'S RAGE
**[01:50] ---**
Popp!
**[01:51] ---**
Drop your weapon!
Otherwise, I crush the boy's skull!
**[01:57] ---**
You dirty...!
**[02:02] ---**
Better hurry up!
**[02:05] ---**
If I do, no, if you kill me,
will you really let him go?
**[02:13] ---**
I have no interest in this insect's life!
**[02:17] ---**
All I want is your head!
**[02:22] ---**
What will it be?!
**[02:26] ---**
Very well.
**[02:28] ---**
Wait!
**[02:29] ---**
Don't, Hyunckel! Forget about me!
**[02:33] ---**
Shut up!
**[02:36] ---**
Just kill him!
**[02:38] ---**
I can't do that.
**[02:40] ---**
You idiot!
**[02:42] ---**
Between me, who's out of Magic Power
and you, it's obvious who can help Dai!
**[02:50] ---**
Popp!
**[02:50] ---**
Besides, there's someone
who'll be miserable if you die!
**[02:58] ---**
*Maam...*
**[02:59] ---**
Her tears are the last thing
I ever want to see!
**[03:03] ---**
So please, you have to live!
**[03:06] ---**
And go on and make her happy.
**[03:11] ---**
I can't make people happy.
All I bring is misfortune.
**[03:17] ---**
That's why...
**[03:19] ---**
I wanted to bring misfortune
to evil-doers.
**[03:22] ---**
That's the only reason
I decided to join your party.
**[03:28] ---**
Besides, I'd rather not give Avan another
reason to scold me in the afterlife.
**[03:34] ---**
If he hears I abandoned a junior disciple,
he'll reject me for sure.
**[03:41] ---**
Hyunckel...
**[03:45] ---**
That's the attitude! Don't move!
**[03:50] ---**
Don't! Please don't!
**[03:57] ---**
Die!
**[03:59] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[04:15] ---**
Larhart!
**[04:24] ---**
Why did you save me?
**[04:26] ---**
To use a hostage would bring shame
to the Dragon Masters.
**[04:32] ---**
It was unforgivable.
**[04:34] ---**
And against a human no less.
**[04:37] ---**
Why do you hate humans so much?
**[04:42] ---**
Like Master Dino, I was born
between beings of different races.
**[04:47] ---**
In my case, it was a Darkling and a human.
**[04:52] ---**
My Darkling father died early,
and I was raised by my human mother.
**[04:58] ---**
But, when I was seven,
**[05:01] ---**
war between Dark Lord Hadlar
and the humans began.
**[05:08] ---**
*Just because of my Darkling lineage,
the humans discriminated against me.*
**[05:15] ---**
*Not just against me,
but against my mother as well!*
**[05:25] ---**
*Eventually, my mother fell ill
and died a forsaken death.*
**[05:44] ---**
*Master Baran was the only one
who ever understood my pain.*
**[06:00] ---**
You soft fools.
To feel my pain as your own.
**[06:06] ---**
I've never met humans like you.
**[06:10] ---**
Perhaps you will be able to understand
Master Baran's pain.
**[06:17] ---**
I leave Master Baran
and Master Dino in your hands.
**[06:20] ---**
Larhart...
**[06:22] ---**
Hyunckel, I have one more request.
**[06:27] ---**
Name it.
**[06:30] ---**
Will you accept my Dark Armour Spear?
**[06:35] ---**
I want you to use it.
**[07:13] ---**
It seems the armour favors you as well.
**[07:18] ---**
It may have been in battle...
**[07:21] ---**
but I'm glad I met men like you...
**[07:27] ---**
at the very end.
**[07:38] ---**
*Larhart, I accept
your will and this armour...*
**[07:45] ---**
*that contains your soul.*
**[07:50] ---**
It feels like we're doomed.
**[07:53] ---**
Do you have a plan, Crocodine?
**[07:56] ---**
I was hoping you had one.
**[07:59] ---**
If only Hyunckel was here.
Then we may have had options.
**[08:07] ---**
He's here!
**[08:17] ---**
Hand over Dino.
**[08:20] ---**
No!
**[08:22] ---**
Do you think you two can stop me alone?
**[08:26] ---**
Or do you have some sort of plan?
**[08:30] ---**
*Of course not.
There's no way for us to stop Baran.*
**[08:36] ---**
*If only... If only we had one more ally!*
**[08:41] ---**
Speaking of plans...
**[08:45] ---**
that Mage came to stop us
on the way here.
**[08:50] ---**
I left him to the Dragon Masters
and came ahead.
**[08:53] ---**
He means...
**[08:54] ---**
Popp?!
**[08:56] ---**
To sacrifice such a whelp
was unusually cruel of you, Crocodine.
**[09:02] ---**
Or was it the idea of the girl beside you?
**[09:07] ---**
Popp... How could he...?
**[09:09] ---**
Popp, you went
to stop Baran's forces alone?
**[09:14] ---**
That's why you pretended to abandon us?!
**[09:17] ---**
You chose to be hated. All for Dai!
**[09:23] ---**
I can't believe I actually hit him.
**[09:37] ---**
*I've been such a fool!*
**[09:40] ---**
*I couldn't realize how determined you were
and called you a coward!*
**[09:45] ---**
*Forgive me, Popp!*
**[09:47] ---**
*You can hit me all you like
in the afterlife!*
**[09:51] ---**
Have you lost your mind, Crocodine?
**[09:53] ---**
My eyes have been opened!
**[09:58] ---**
Baran, fight me!
**[10:00] ---**
It seems you truly have lost your mind.
**[10:03] ---**
Princess, I have a plan. I need your help.
**[10:11] ---**
It's too dangerous, Crocodine!
**[10:20] ---**
I'm counting on you!
**[10:30] ---**
Draconic Aura!
**[10:39] ---**
*Unbelievable! He blocked an attack
imbued with my Draconic Aura!*
**[10:47] ---**
Baran, use your Gigabreak!
**[10:49] ---**
What?!
**[10:50] ---**
My tough hide is my only strength!
**[10:53] ---**
Only your strongest attack
can take my life!
**[10:59] ---**
Well said!
**[11:09] ---**
I shall grant your wish!
**[11:11] ---**
Take this! My Ultimate Blade!
**[11:18] ---**
Crocodine seems to be
proving quite stubborn.
**[11:24] ---**
*Hopefully Baran will be defeated here.*
**[11:28] ---**
*But I doubt he'll go down easily.*
**[11:39] ---**
Gigabreak!
**[11:58] ---**
Thus ends the Beast King.
**[12:04] ---**
What?!
**[12:06] ---**
Thank you, Princess!
Now I can fight again!
**[12:10] ---**
But my Fullheal can't heal
both your wound and stamina at once.
**[12:16] ---**
There should be no stamina to heal!
**[12:18] ---**
Not even the Beast King can survive
a direct hit with my Gigabreak!
**[12:23] ---**
All I need to do is focus
all my power on defense!
**[12:28] ---**
So long as I'm not a corpse, the Princess
can heal my stamina with her Fullheal!
**[12:34] ---**
Hit me as much as you like!
**[12:37] ---**
My life or your power!
It's a contest to see which ends first!
**[12:43] ---**
A contest?!
**[12:45] ---**
You dare mock me...
mock the power of the Dragon Knight?!
**[12:54] ---**
I think you hurt his pride
by not dying with one blow!
**[12:59] ---**
What an overwhelming Aura!
**[13:01] ---**
Crocodine, this is crazy!
**[13:04] ---**
You don't know
how long you'll last fighting like this!
**[13:08] ---**
I'm well aware that this is crazy!
**[13:10] ---**
But it's the only way to stop Baran!
I have no choice!
**[13:15] ---**
Let us follow Popp's spirit, Princess!
**[13:20] ---**
You're right.
I guess it's punishment for hitting him!
**[13:30] ---**
What's wrong, Dai?!
**[13:32] ---**
I feel like I'm burning!
I can't sit still!
**[13:44] ---**
I have to go.
**[13:48] ---**
Someone is calling me.
**[13:56] ---**
BLOODY SCRYDE
**[14:01] ---**
BEAST KING REDEMPTION BLAST
**[14:05] ---**
Crocodine!
**[14:13] ---**
Are you immortal?!
**[14:15] ---**
No one has ever been hit by
my Gigabreak twice and survived!
**[14:23] ---**
Immortality is Hyunckel's thing.
**[14:26] ---**
If I keep getting hit
by such an attack, I'm certain I'll die.
**[14:31] ---**
But if taking my life
drains your power, it's not a bad trade.
**[14:37] ---**
You...! You're not trying to win at all!
**[14:41] ---**
You're using your own life
to drain my stamina and Magic Power!
**[14:50] ---**
Impossible! The mighty Beast King
Crocodine would sacrifice himself?!
**[14:57] ---**
This is the best I can do.
**[15:00] ---**
If I can drain your power, it'll help
my friends who will fight you later.
**[15:07] ---**
Your friends?! No one is coming!
**[15:10] ---**
They'll come!
**[15:11] ---**
I know it!
**[15:13] ---**
*How can he trust the humans so much?!*
**[15:17] ---**
*And that spirit is making him stronger!*
**[15:20] ---**
*Even with the full power of my Crest,
I can't crush him like before!*
**[15:27] ---**
*He needs a Fullheal!*
**[15:33] ---**
A Zapple spell?!
**[15:34] ---**
That was a warning!
**[15:36] ---**
Take another step
and become a charred corpse!
**[15:39] ---**
I'm done with this game of cat and mouse!
**[15:44] ---**
This time, I will end it!
**[16:00] ---**
No! Stop!
**[16:01] ---**
No!
**[16:02] ---**
Fool! Zapple!
**[16:08] ---**
Princess!
**[16:15] ---**
What?!
**[16:20] ---**
Larhart's Dark Spear?
**[16:22] ---**
Why would he interfere?!
**[16:25] ---**
What's the meaning of this Lar--
**[16:32] ---**
Hyunckel?!
**[16:33] ---**
And Popp!
**[16:35] ---**
You survived, Popp!
**[16:38] ---**
Just barely.
**[16:41] ---**
But we managed to take out
the Dragon Masters.
**[16:46] ---**
Impossible! You speak lies!
**[16:48] ---**
It's not a lie.
**[16:50] ---**
How else can you explain our presence?
**[16:56] ---**
I see.
**[16:57] ---**
So you killed Larhart and took his armour.
**[17:02] ---**
No. Larhart gave me this armour
of his own free will.
**[17:08] ---**
What?!
**[17:09] ---**
He died asking me to save you.
**[17:14] ---**
He gave me this armour then.
**[17:18] ---**
It was his dying gift.
**[17:20] ---**
Liar! Larhart would never
open up to a human!
**[17:26] ---**
Baran, Larhart told me of your tragedy.
**[17:31] ---**
How Dai's mother, Soala,
was the princess of Alkeed.
**[17:35] ---**
And how it was the humans
who took her life.
**[17:43] ---**
I understand your anger
and grief all too well.
**[17:46] ---**
But not all humans are evil!
**[17:49] ---**
You yourself know that
more than anyone!
**[17:54] ---**
For the woman that you loved
was also a human!
**[18:02] ---**
You saw the most beautiful and most ugly
sides of humans at the same time.
**[18:09] ---**
Unable to handle it, you hoped to erase
all of humanity from your sight.
**[18:17] ---**
But you're mistaken.
**[18:19] ---**
Doing that won't erase
your grief from losing her!
**[18:25] ---**
If you truly call yourself Dai's father...
If you truly love your son...
**[18:31] ---**
then shouldn't you reach out to him
with your human heart, Baran?!
**[18:36] ---**
I know that's what Dai's mother
would want!
**[18:40] ---**
Baran, Hyunckel's right.
**[18:42] ---**
Baran...
**[18:54] ---**
*What is this unnatural pressure
coming from Baran?*
**[18:58] ---**
Then I cast it aside!
**[19:01] ---**
This human heart and body!
**[19:07] ---**
None of your pandering nonsense
will bring back Soala!
**[19:13] ---**
To destroy the humans together with Dino
is all that drives me now!
**[19:19] ---**
It's all I live for!
**[19:22] ---**
If I cannot have that,
then I would rather die!
**[19:29] ---**
Something weird is going on with him!
**[19:34] ---**
*I will reclaim Dino by force if I must!*
**[19:38] ---**
*Even if I must become
a Demon Beast to do it!*
**[19:43] ---**
Impossible! Look!
**[19:46] ---**
His red blood is turning into
Blue Blood of Darklings!
**[19:50] ---**
What?!
**[19:52] ---**
That's...!
**[20:03] ---**
What happened?!
**[20:05] ---**
*Report. Heyedras stationed
in Teran are disappearing.*
**[20:10] ---**
*Extraordinary energy
is spreading explosively.*
**[20:14] ---**
Impossible! How can that be?!
**[20:16] ---**
I'd heard of it, but it seems Baran
is taking his ultimate form.
**[20:23] ---**
Send all Heyedras in the area
to Teran Castle!
**[20:28] ---**
Yes, master.
**[20:42] ---**
What's happening to him?!
**[20:45] ---**
Baran's body...
**[20:46] ---**
...Is changing!
**[21:38] ---**
Is this the true form of a Dragon Knight?!
**[21:44] ---**
Indeed.
**[21:46] ---**
The combined power of Dragon,
Darkling, and human.
**[21:49] ---**
The Ultimate Combat Form
of the Dragon Knight.
**[21:52] ---**
That is this form.
**[21:56] ---**
The form known as the Dragonoid!
**[22:04] ---**
*Even if you face the devil
With logic on your side*
**[22:04] ---**
*tatoe akuma ni seiron kazashite
mukatte mitemo*
**[22:07] ---**
*It may just be a rationalization*
**[22:07] ---**
*sore wa akumade seitouka
sashite chigai wa naikamo*
**[22:11] ---**
*Even now, even now I waver*
**[22:11] ---**
*ima mo ima mo yureteiru kedo*
**[22:15] ---**
*How far will we go?*
**[22:15] ---**
*bokura wa dokomade yukuno*
**[22:19] ---**
*I heard a voice like an angel's whisper*
**[22:19] ---**
*tenshi no sasayaki nimo nita
koe ga kikoeta*
**[22:22] ---**
*Maybe it was an imposter's illusion
It still rang in my ears*
**[22:22] ---**
*hatamata petenshi no mayakashi
hitokiwa mimi ni hibiiteita*
**[22:26] ---**
*Exposed to love and sorrow*
**[22:26] ---**
*ai ni hiai ni sarasare nagara*
**[22:30] ---**
*On the path strewn with pride*
**[22:30] ---**
*hokori mamire michi no tochu*
**[22:36] ---**
*Fleeting moments of cowardice*
**[22:36] ---**
*kiete wa ukabu touhikou*
**[22:40] ---**
*The SOS I held back*
**[22:40] ---**
*nomikonda SOS*
**[22:44] ---**
*I clenched my trembling fist*
**[22:44] ---**
*furueru te wo nigirishimeta*
**[22:48] ---**
*That single little promise*
**[22:48] ---**
*tatta hitotsu no chiisana yakusoku ga*
**[22:53] ---**
*Those trivial little memories*
**[22:53] ---**
*honno sasaina omoidetachi ga*
**[22:57] ---**
*They're still in my heart*
**[22:57] ---**
*itsumade tattemo kono mune wo*
**[22:59] ---**
*As embers that keep me burning*
**[22:59] ---**
*kogashi tsuzukeru tomoshibi ni naru*
**[23:04] ---**
*A single transparent beam of light*
**[23:04] ---**
*tada hitosuji no toumei na hikari ga*
**[23:08] ---**
*Lights the way before me*
**[23:08] ---**
*me no mae wo terashite yuku*
**[23:11] ---**
*There is little that I can do*
**[23:11] ---**
*boku ni dekiru koto wa ikutsu mo naisa*
**[23:16] ---**
*Just keep on to the future
I managed to grasp through my faith*
**[23:16] ---**
*shinjinuita saki ni te ni shita mirai wo
susunde yuke*
**[23:33] ---**
*Baran's power as a Dragonoid
is beyond this world.*
**[23:37] ---**
*Even Hyunckel and Crocodine together
prove to be no match.*
**[23:43] ---**
*At last, Baran finds Dai,
who lost his memories.*
**[23:46] ---**
*Just when all seems lost,
Popp thinks of one last plan.*
**[23:53] ---**
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,*
**[23:55] ---**
*"Popp's Resolve"*
**[23:57] ---**
*The adventure continues!*

POPP'S RESOLVE
**[01:53] ---**
What's happening to him?!
**[01:56] ---**
Baran's body...
**[01:58] ---**
...Is changing!
**[02:08] ---**
Is this the true form of a Dragon Knight?!
**[02:14] ---**
Indeed.
**[02:15] ---**
The combined power of Dragon,
Darkling, and human.
**[02:18] ---**
The Ultimate Combat Form
of the Dragon Knight.
**[02:22] ---**
That is this form.
**[02:25] ---**
The form known as the Dragonoid!
**[02:29] ---**
The Dragonoid?!
**[02:31] ---**
Whoa! What unbelievable pressure!
**[02:36] ---**
No one's been this imposing before!
**[02:38] ---**
Not even Hadlar!
**[02:40] ---**
Popp, get into the castle!
**[02:43] ---**
No way! I'm fighting, too!
**[02:46] ---**
Don't be stupid!
You can sense it, can't you?!
**[02:50] ---**
Baran's overwhelming Aura!
**[02:52] ---**
Besides, you're out of Magic Power!
**[02:57] ---**
You're useless here!
**[02:58] ---**
Hey!
**[02:59] ---**
Popp! Don't be stubborn!
**[03:02] ---**
I'll support these two!
**[03:04] ---**
Look after Dai!
**[03:06] ---**
If anything happens to us,
take Dai and run as far as possible!
**[03:15] ---**
Dammit! Fine then!
**[03:18] ---**
Don't any of you die!
**[03:23] ---**
Look out!
**[03:30] ---**
Popp!
**[03:31] ---**
You dare attack the wounded
from behind?! How could you?!
**[03:35] ---**
Once I take Dragonoid form,
**[03:38] ---**
I become intent only on wiping out
any enemy in sight, like a Demon Beast.
**[03:43] ---**
This power is too strong
for me to hold back.
**[03:49] ---**
Wounded or whelp,
I cannot spare any mercy.
**[03:54] ---**
But can you blame me?!
**[03:57] ---**
You pried into the scar on my heart.
**[04:01] ---**
This is your own fault!
**[04:15] ---**
Curse you!
**[04:23] ---**
Crocodine!
**[04:25] ---**
Woosh!
**[04:27] ---**
D-Dammit!
**[04:32] ---**
He's going to wipe us out at this rate!
**[04:38] ---**
We can't beat him!
Even if we were at our best!
**[04:44] ---**
His power is on a whole different level!
**[04:47] ---**
He's truly a super being with the power
of a Dragon and Magic Power of a Darkling!
**[04:54] ---**
You've seen nothing of my Magic Power yet!
**[05:02] ---**
I'll erase you all in an instant...
**[05:05] ---**
with the purification spell
only usable in this form!
**[05:10] ---**
With Doruora!
**[05:12] ---**
W-We have to run!
**[05:13] ---**
It's no good! We can't move!
**[05:16] ---**
Stop, Baran! Don't give yourself
over to any more violence!
**[05:20] ---**
Your words mean nothing now.
**[05:24] ---**
Once I take the form of the Dragonoid...
**[05:27] ---**
I cannot turn back until you are all dead!
**[05:31] ---**
Begone!
**[05:47] ---**
Dino!
**[05:50] ---**
Dai!
**[06:10] ---**
No!
**[06:17] ---**
What was that dream?
**[06:20] ---**
No, it was far more vivid than a dream.
**[06:24] ---**
A vision?!
**[06:27] ---**
Dai... Popp...
**[06:33] ---**
No!
**[06:35] ---**
We can't let Dai and Baran meet!
**[06:40] ---**
Dai, run! Get in the castle!
**[06:45] ---**
Hey, Dai!
**[06:56] ---**
Are you the one who called me?
**[06:59] ---**
I am.
**[07:01] ---**
Who are you?
**[07:04] ---**
I am your father.
**[07:08] ---**
But... you don't look like me at all.
**[07:13] ---**
You look... like a monster.
**[07:18] ---**
Indeed, this form is not human.
**[07:23] ---**
It seems you take after your mother more.
**[07:27] ---**
I doubt you can become a Dragonoid.
**[07:30] ---**
But...
**[07:36] ---**
Remove that cloth.
**[07:52] ---**
I can tell... I can tell!
You're not lying!
**[07:56] ---**
That crest on your forehead is proof.
It's the unspoken bond between us.
**[08:03] ---**
While our forms are different,
we are father and son.
**[08:08] ---**
I am your father.
**[08:15] ---**
My father...
**[08:24] ---**
Popp!
**[08:34] ---**
Move!
**[08:36] ---**
What can a piece of trash like you do?!
**[08:41] ---**
Nothing! I know that already!
**[08:44] ---**
But I have to fight!
**[08:48] ---**
I'm the only one left who can even stand!
**[08:52] ---**
Don't, Popp! Don't challenge Baran!
**[08:55] ---**
That's right.
**[08:57] ---**
I'll kill you!
**[09:00] ---**
If you attack me in this form,
I will brutally respond,
**[09:06] ---**
killing you and everyone here
except for Dino,
**[09:11] ---**
no matter how weak that attack may be.
**[09:16] ---**
Meeting Dino has brought out my humanity,
but this is your last chance.
**[09:23] ---**
Hand Dino over peacefully.
**[09:27] ---**
You're in the way, mister.
**[09:30] ---**
Huh?
**[09:31] ---**
I finally met my father.
**[09:36] ---**
Dai...
**[09:37] ---**
What?
**[09:39] ---**
You can't have him! Father or not!
**[09:42] ---**
I'll never let you have our Dai!
**[09:47] ---**
"Our Dai"?
**[09:49] ---**
That's right!
Without Dai, Princess Leona would be dead!
**[09:53] ---**
If they hadn't fought Dai, Crocodine
and Hyunckel would still be evil!
**[09:58] ---**
And... And me...
**[10:02] ---**
If I hadn't met Dai,
I'd still be running away.
**[10:06] ---**
I'd be a brown-noser.
All talk and useless!
**[10:10] ---**
There's no doubt I'd be worthless!
**[10:13] ---**
Meeting Dai changed all of our fates!
**[10:17] ---**
It's thanks to Dai that we came this far!
**[10:22] ---**
Dai is the one who lifts us up!
**[10:25] ---**
For Dai to become the enemy of humans...
**[10:29] ---**
For Dai to disappear from our lives...
**[10:33] ---**
I'd rather die than let that happen!
**[10:39] ---**
Then you shall die.
**[10:48] ---**
It-It's no good!
He has no humanity left in him!
**[10:53] ---**
Dammit!
**[10:56] ---**
Popp!
**[11:00] ---**
*What do I do? I've got no Magic Power
or powerful weapons or items!*
**[11:05] ---**
*All I can do is punch him!*
**[11:09] ---**
*Isn't there anything I can do?!
Think! Think!*
**[11:14] ---**
*If I don't act,
he's going to take Dai away!*
**[11:18] ---**
*Master... What would you do, Master Avan?*
**[11:22] ---**
*How would you fight
at a time like this, Master?*
**[11:25] ---**
*Master!*
**[11:30] ---**
*That's right...*
**[11:31] ---**
*There's still one thing I can do!*
**[11:37] ---**
CRACKLE
ICE-TYPE SPELL
**[11:42] ---**
FULLHEAL
HEAL-TYPE SPELL
**[11:45] ---**
*That's right...*
**[11:47] ---**
*There's still one thing I can do!*
**[11:50] ---**
*But if I do that...*
**[11:57] ---**
Don't worry.
**[11:59] ---**
I'll end this real quick.
**[12:02] ---**
Huh?
**[12:04] ---**
Hold on to that bandana, will you?
**[12:07] ---**
I've had it since I was five.
It's my trademark.
**[12:12] ---**
Me? Why?
**[12:14] ---**
Listen! Just don't lose it!
**[12:21] ---**
H-He's fighting bare-handed?!
**[12:24] ---**
Are you insane, Popp?!
**[12:26] ---**
*I can't watch
such a pathetic suicide attack.*
**[12:30] ---**
*I'll shatter him with one blow!*
**[12:37] ---**
Th-That's...!
**[12:40] ---**
They won't come out!
**[12:43] ---**
His grip is just a weak Mage's!
**[12:47] ---**
Obviously!
**[12:48] ---**
I've got all my life energy
focused in my fingertips!
**[12:53] ---**
I can't just let you pull them out!
**[12:55] ---**
You're not...!
**[12:57] ---**
I knew it! That's...
**[13:00] ---**
Megante!
**[13:01] ---**
If you use Megante, you're sure to die!
**[13:05] ---**
I know! If I'm unlucky,
I'll be blown to pieces with nothing left!
**[13:10] ---**
Just like my master was!
**[13:13] ---**
Stop! This is crazy!
**[13:16] ---**
I idolized Master Avan, but this was
one trick I never hoped to copy!
**[13:21] ---**
You don't know if it'll work on Baran!
**[13:24] ---**
Oh it'll work.
**[13:26] ---**
The Draconic Aura may be a mighty shield,
**[13:29] ---**
but it can be pierced
by even greater energy!
**[13:33] ---**
That's what Baran said himself!
**[13:36] ---**
He's taken that much into account?
**[13:39] ---**
Plus, I get to die for Dai!
To die for the Hero!
**[13:43] ---**
Basically, I get to die
for the future of all humans!
**[13:49] ---**
Who could ask for a better reason to die?!
**[13:52] ---**
Don't! Please, Popp!
**[13:54] ---**
Don't! Don't do it, Popp!
**[14:01] ---**
*This...*
**[14:03] ---**
*This has happened before!*
**[14:07] ---**
*I get the feeling...
Something really, really sad...*
**[14:12] ---**
*I have to... I have to do something!*
**[14:15] ---**
*I have to do something, but...!*
**[14:21] ---**
He's trying to rip his arm off!
**[14:29] ---**
Leona...
**[14:31] ---**
Hyunckel...
**[14:33] ---**
Crocodine...
**[14:36] ---**
Everyone...
**[14:38] ---**
I leave the rest to you.
**[14:41] ---**
Popp!
**[14:42] ---**
Make something up for Maam, will you?
**[14:44] ---**
Popp!
**[14:53] ---**
Dai.
**[15:04] ---**
Dai...
**[15:10] ---**
If you still have that dumb look
on your face when I die...
**[15:15] ---**
I'll be pissed!
**[15:21] ---**
See you, Dai.
**[15:23] ---**
We've gone through a lot...
**[15:25] ---**
It's been fun.
**[15:28] ---**
But...
**[15:38] ---**
*my adventure... ends here.*
**[15:49] ---**
Megante!
**[15:57] ---**
Popp!
**[16:04] ---**
No!
**[16:11] ---**
Y-You idiot!
**[16:15] ---**
I remember!
**[16:16] ---**
I remember it all, Popp!
**[16:19] ---**
Because I've been so pathetic...
**[16:22] ---**
you...
**[16:24] ---**
you...
**[16:26] ---**
Popp, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
**[16:30] ---**
Dai!
**[16:31] ---**
Popp!
**[16:36] ---**
Has his memory returned?!
**[16:38] ---**
But the price was all too high!
**[17:10] ---**
What?!
**[17:18] ---**
N-No! Even after Popp sacrificed himself!
**[17:22] ---**
Does even Megante have no effect on him?!
**[17:26] ---**
No. Even I would
take damage from Megante.
**[17:31] ---**
But, his lack of experience saved me.
**[17:35] ---**
Just as he channeled all of
his life energy and detonated it,
**[17:41] ---**
he let his guard down, weakening his grip.
**[17:45] ---**
I was able to fly up and shake him off.
**[17:50] ---**
Damn it all!
**[17:58] ---**
A meaningless death.
**[18:01] ---**
C-Curse you!
**[18:03] ---**
Baran, why you...!
**[18:07] ---**
Gomechan!
**[18:11] ---**
Gomechan, don't! Stop!
**[18:22] ---**
Begone!
**[18:33] ---**
Enough!
**[18:35] ---**
No more!
**[18:38] ---**
Stop hurting my friends!
**[18:41] ---**
Dino...
**[18:42] ---**
It seems you really have
regained your memories.
**[18:47] ---**
I thought I completely erased them.
It's unbelievable.
**[18:51] ---**
If you really are my dad,
why are you doing this?!
**[18:55] ---**
Why take my memories
and hurt and kill my friends?!
**[18:59] ---**
Silence!
**[19:00] ---**
I will wipe out the humans
and their allies!
**[19:03] ---**
If you are my son, you will obey me!
**[19:07] ---**
No!
**[19:10] ---**
You're right that sometimes
humans can be cruel.
**[19:14] ---**
They can be selfish, they bully,
and they can discriminate.
**[19:20] ---**
But some of them aren't like that.
**[19:23] ---**
They can be cowardly, but they
try their best to do what's right.
**[19:30] ---**
That's...
**[19:32] ---**
That's who Popp was!
**[19:41] ---**
He's doing it again!
**[19:47] ---**
There's no reason to remember such trash!
**[19:51] ---**
I'll erase your memories again!
This time, completely!
**[19:56] ---**
He's a monster!
**[19:57] ---**
Now forget everything, Dino!
And become my true son!
**[20:03] ---**
*No! I...*
**[20:05] ---**
*I won't forget Popp ever again!*
**[20:10] ---**
*I'll never forget him!*
**[20:12] ---**
It's just like last time!
**[20:14] ---**
Can we do nothing?!
**[20:21] ---**
*Popp sacrificed himself and fought...*
**[20:24] ---**
*and I can't do anything!*
**[20:26] ---**
*Please, gods!*
**[20:32] ---**
God of Dragons! Lend us your strength!
**[20:37] ---**
Don't resist!
Your whole mind could be wiped!
**[20:41] ---**
*I won't give in!*
**[20:43] ---**
*I'm me!*
**[20:46] ---**
*I'm Dai, the Hero!*
**[20:51] ---**
You still resist your father?! You fool!
**[20:56] ---**
You're not...
**[20:58] ---**
You're not...
**[21:01] ---**
You're not my dad!
**[21:12] ---**
*What?!*
**[21:13] ---**
*He struck me while I was shielded
by my Draconic Aura?!*
**[21:22] ---**
What?!
**[21:28] ---**
Dai's crest is on his fist?!
**[21:31] ---**
*What?! Impossible! This can't be!*
**[21:34] ---**
*In thousands of years
of Dragon Knight history*
**[21:38] ---**
*for the light of the crest to appear
anywhere other than the forehead...*
**[21:43] ---**
*It's never happened before!*
**[21:46] ---**
*Could it be...?!*
**[21:49] ---**
*The human spirit?!*
**[21:51] ---**
*Is this Soala's will?!*
**[22:04] ---**
*Even if you face the devil
With logic on your side*
**[22:04] ---**
*tatoe akuma ni seiron kazashite
mukatte mitemo*
**[22:07] ---**
*It may just be a rationalization*
**[22:07] ---**
*sore wa akumade seitouka
sashite chigai wa naikamo*
**[22:11] ---**
*Even now, even now I waver*
**[22:11] ---**
*ima mo ima mo yureteiru kedo*
**[22:15] ---**
*How far will we go?*
**[22:15] ---**
*bokura wa dokomade yukuno*
**[22:19] ---**
*I heard a voice like an angel's whisper*
**[22:19] ---**
*tenshi no sasayaki nimo nita
koe ga kikoeta*
**[22:22] ---**
*Maybe it was an imposter's illusion
It still rang in my ears*
**[22:22] ---**
*hatamata petenshi no mayakashi
hitokiwa mimi ni hibiiteita*
**[22:26] ---**
*Exposed to love and sorrow*
**[22:26] ---**
*ai ni hiai ni sarasare nagara*
**[22:30] ---**
*On the path strewn with pride*
**[22:30] ---**
*hokori mamire michi no tochu*
**[22:36] ---**
*Fleeting moments of cowardice*
**[22:36] ---**
*kiete wa ukabu touhikou*
**[22:40] ---**
*The SOS I held back*
**[22:40] ---**
*nomikonda SOS*
**[22:44] ---**
*I clenched my trembling fist*
**[22:44] ---**
*furueru te wo nigirishimeta*
**[22:48] ---**
*That single little promise*
**[22:48] ---**
*tatta hitotsu no chiisana yakusoku ga*
**[22:53] ---**
*Those trivial little memories*
**[22:53] ---**
*honno sasaina omoidetachi ga*
**[22:57] ---**
*They're still in my heart*
**[22:57] ---**
*itsumade tattemo kono mune wo*
**[22:59] ---**
*As embers that keep me burning*
**[22:59] ---**
*kogashi tsuzukeru tomoshibi ni naru*
**[23:04] ---**
*A single transparent beam of light*
**[23:04] ---**
*tada hitosuji no toumei na hikari ga*
**[23:08] ---**
*Lights the way before me*
**[23:08] ---**
*me no mae wo terashite yuku*
**[23:11] ---**
*There is little that I can do*
**[23:11] ---**
*boku ni dekiru koto wa ikutsu mo naisa*
**[23:16] ---**
*Just keep on to the future
I managed to grasp through my faith*
**[23:16] ---**
*shinjinuita saki ni te ni shita mirai wo
susunde yuke*
**[23:34] ---**
*With the Dragon Crest on his fist,
Dai unleashes his anger at Baran.*
**[23:39] ---**
*But Baran's flames of rage
are stoked by his son's retaliation.*
**[23:44] ---**
*Teran Kingdom trembles
as the Dragon Knights clash.*
**[23:48] ---**
*The greatest battle in the world
begins now!*

A FATHER AND SON CLASH
**[01:51] ---**
*I won't give in!*
**[01:53] ---**
*I'm me!*
**[01:55] ---**
*I'm Dai, the Hero!*
**[02:00] ---**
You still resist your father?! You fool!
**[02:05] ---**
You're not...
**[02:07] ---**
You're not...
**[02:10] ---**
You're not my dad!
**[02:21] ---**
*What?!*
**[02:22] ---**
*He struck me while I was shielded
by my Draconic Aura?!*
**[02:31] ---**
What?!
**[02:36] ---**
Dai's crest is on his fist?!
**[02:40] ---**
*What?! Impossible! This can't be!*
**[02:43] ---**
*In thousands of years
of Dragon Knight history*
**[02:47] ---**
*for the light of the crest to appear
anywhere other than the forehead...*
**[02:52] ---**
*It's never happened before!*
**[02:55] ---**
*Could it be...?!*
**[02:57] ---**
*The human spirit?!*
**[03:00] ---**
*Is this Soala's will?!*
**[03:10] ---**
Dai...
**[03:12] ---**
W-What's going on?!
Why is the Dragon Crest on his fist?!
**[03:18] ---**
I think Dai did it by his own will.
**[03:22] ---**
What?!
**[03:24] ---**
To escape Baran's mind control...
**[03:27] ---**
and to gain greater power than him...
**[03:30] ---**
he realized he had to move
the power of his crest from his forehead.
**[03:36] ---**
His full Aura power may be weaker,
but when it's focused in a single point,
**[03:41] ---**
each attack is stronger!
**[03:46] ---**
Is such a miracle possible?!
**[03:49] ---**
I doubt a normal Dragon Knight can do it.
**[03:53] ---**
Even Baran seems taken aback.
**[03:56] ---**
Prepare yourself, Baran!
**[04:01] ---**
What?!
**[04:02] ---**
You've taken so much from me!
**[04:05] ---**
My...
**[04:07] ---**
My dearest things!
**[04:10] ---**
Even if you are my dad,
I'll never forgive you!
**[04:16] ---**
I'm going to crush you!
**[04:32] ---**
Watch your tongue, boy!
**[05:01] ---**
Amazing!
**[05:02] ---**
I'm speculating, but...
**[05:05] ---**
I think the blood of Dai's human half
brought on this miracle.
**[05:11] ---**
His feelings for his friend
ignited a fire in his human heart,
**[05:15] ---**
driving the Dragon
and Darkling powers into his fist.
**[05:18] ---**
And this gave Dai control of his power!
**[05:26] ---**
You mean right now, Dai is...?!
**[05:28] ---**
He should have full control
over the power of the Dragon Crest.
**[05:39] ---**
*Soala...*
**[05:41] ---**
*Even you... Are you saying I was wrong?*
**[05:47] ---**
Curse you!
**[05:55] ---**
Draconic Aura!
**[06:26] ---**
Impossible!
**[06:28] ---**
Yes! You're right!
Every one of Dai's attacks is stronger!
**[06:35] ---**
But...
**[06:46] ---**
This is ridiculous!
As if a child could beat his father!
**[06:52] ---**
It's time to back down
or I'll open a hole in your body!
**[06:57] ---**
If I fire my Crest Beam at full power,
it can carve a mountain!
**[07:03] ---**
So what if it can?!
**[07:06] ---**
Are you sure, Dino?!
**[07:10] ---**
My name...
**[07:11] ---**
My name is Dai!
**[07:17] ---**
Take this!
**[07:33] ---**
Your Majesty, what was that?!
**[07:36] ---**
The Dragon Knights.
**[07:41] ---**
Stop holding back.
**[07:44] ---**
What?!
**[07:46] ---**
The others are fair game...
**[07:49] ---**
but I'm not?!
**[07:53] ---**
Don't get cocky, you little brat!
**[07:59] ---**
*No, Dai! Don't anger Baran any further!*
**[08:03] ---**
*He hasn't shown his full power yet!*
**[08:08] ---**
Amazing, Dai...
**[08:10] ---**
We might have a chance.
**[08:13] ---**
Merle!
**[08:16] ---**
Princess Leona, let me cast Heal.
**[08:18] ---**
Forget me. See to Crocodine and Hyunckel.
**[08:21] ---**
Okay. But... Um...
**[08:24] ---**
Leave Popp to me.
**[08:26] ---**
Huh?
**[08:28] ---**
I've never used it before,
but I want to test a spell on him.
**[08:45] ---**
It-It's beginning!
**[08:47] ---**
The greatest battle in the world
beyond anything we can fathom!
**[09:17] ---**
They're gone!
**[09:18] ---**
Up there!
**[10:13] ---**
Did he do it?!
**[10:14] ---**
No! Look out!
**[10:16] ---**
It's over!
**[10:23] ---**
Don't mock me!
**[10:47] ---**
Your Majesty!
**[10:48] ---**
Amazing. So this is
the ferocity of Dragon Knights.
**[10:53] ---**
Will we be okay?
**[10:55] ---**
We must make a decision.
**[10:57] ---**
Huh?
**[10:59] ---**
Which Dragon Knight we believe is right.
**[11:16] ---**
Dai?!
**[11:17] ---**
I was right. Dai's doomed at this rate!
**[11:22] ---**
What do you mean?!
**[11:23] ---**
Until now, Baran's been holding back
so as not to kill Dai.
**[11:29] ---**
Even with us, he probably held back
because we used to be allies.
**[11:34] ---**
But now he's a Dragonoid,
a Killing Demon Beast!
**[11:39] ---**
If provoked enough,
he'll kill anyone, no matter who they are!
**[11:44] ---**
You mean...?!
**[11:46] ---**
Even if it's his own son!
**[11:56] ---**
Burn away!
**[11:59] ---**
Along with this country!
**[12:05] ---**
No!
**[12:06] ---**
That's Doruora?!
**[12:18] ---**
AVAN STRASH
**[12:23] ---**
GIGABREAK
**[12:31] ---**
Baran's hands...
**[12:32] ---**
It's a Dragon's mouth!
**[12:34] ---**
What energy!
**[12:36] ---**
I get it! Doruora compresses
massive amounts of Draconic Aura
**[12:41] ---**
and fires it as a spell!
**[12:44] ---**
Take this!
**[12:46] ---**
Look out! Dai, dodge it!
**[12:53] ---**
I won't let you!
**[12:55] ---**
Doruora!
**[13:16] ---**
What power!
This isn't even a spell anymore!
**[13:22] ---**
Where's Dai?!
**[13:24] ---**
Did he get him?!
**[13:46] ---**
I see. You dodged with a Zoom spell.
**[13:49] ---**
You have good instincts.
**[13:52] ---**
He escaped the Doruora energy field
with a sudden short Zoom spell!
**[13:58] ---**
I won't miss a second time!
**[14:07] ---**
Levizoom!
**[14:09] ---**
Dai, you can't beat Baran in the air!
He has wings!
**[14:19] ---**
Why is he choosing to fly?
**[14:21] ---**
Because of us.
**[14:22] ---**
Huh?!
**[14:23] ---**
If Baran fires that Super Spell down here,
**[14:26] ---**
we and the people of Teran
will be reduced to ash!
**[14:29] ---**
That's why Dai took to the sky!
**[14:32] ---**
But...!
**[14:33] ---**
Even in his anger,
Dai is still our Dai inside.
**[14:39] ---**
He's not a monster like Baran!
**[14:43] ---**
Dai!
**[14:44] ---**
Hurry and heal us!
**[14:47] ---**
All I need is to stand!
I can't just do nothing!
**[14:50] ---**
Okay!
**[14:53] ---**
I see you've given up.
**[14:57] ---**
This will end it!
**[15:13] ---**
What do you think you're doing?!
**[15:17] ---**
I'll withstand it!
**[15:21] ---**
Even you can't cast a spell
that strong more than twice!
**[15:27] ---**
If I withstand this...
**[15:29] ---**
I'll win!
**[15:32] ---**
What?!
**[15:33] ---**
That's crazy, Dai!
**[15:35] ---**
You fool!
**[15:37] ---**
No being can withstand
a Dragon Knight's Doruora at full power!
**[15:44] ---**
It's never been used on a Dragon Knight!
**[15:48] ---**
I'm a Dragon Knight, too!
**[15:52] ---**
Save your nonsense, boy!
**[15:55] ---**
Dai, dodge it!
**[15:57] ---**
It's too late for that!
**[16:01] ---**
Take this and begone!
**[16:03] ---**
Doruora!
**[16:08] ---**
Dragon within me,
now's the time to awaken!
**[16:12] ---**
Focus everything I have to defeat him!
**[16:15] ---**
Draconic Aura!
**[16:35] ---**
Dai?!
**[16:36] ---**
Dai!
**[16:49] ---**
There's nothing left!
**[16:54] ---**
What's so funny?!
**[16:57] ---**
You monster!
**[17:12] ---**
H-He withstood it! That Super Spell!
**[17:16] ---**
Impossible!
**[17:17] ---**
Baran!
**[17:19] ---**
You've got nothing left now!
**[17:28] ---**
Take this!
**[17:32] ---**
Avan...
**[17:35] ---**
Strash!
**[17:48] ---**
Leona's knife?!
**[17:57] ---**
What a pity.
**[17:59] ---**
When Dragon Knights fight
with Draconic Auras at full strength,
**[18:04] ---**
normal weapons and armour
can't endure the power and burn up!
**[18:09] ---**
In your case, you've focused
all of your power in your right arm.
**[18:13] ---**
No weapon in the world
can endure such immense power!
**[18:18] ---**
No!
**[18:20] ---**
But...
**[18:21] ---**
this!
**[18:25] ---**
My Demon Dragon Blade is different!
**[18:28] ---**
This is the only sword in the world
that can endure the Draconic Aura!
**[18:33] ---**
Dammit!
**[18:35] ---**
Only this sword can endure
a full-powered swing of a Dragon Knight!
**[18:41] ---**
I may not have the Magic Power to cast
Doruora, but victory is in sight!
**[18:47] ---**
I'll slice you in two!
**[18:53] ---**
You?!
**[18:54] ---**
I won't let you!
**[18:59] ---**
I was known as the Beast King!
I don't intend to just lie around!
**[19:10] ---**
Hang in there, everybody!
**[19:15] ---**
I'll see to Popp!
**[19:21] ---**
His heart's stopped.
**[19:24] ---**
*I don't know if I can cast
such a major spell.*
**[19:28] ---**
*But if I don't succeed, Popp will...*
**[19:34] ---**
Gods, bless us.
**[19:37] ---**
In thy name, let the soul of this one
whose life has burned out be restored!
**[19:52] ---**
That spell...!
**[19:56] ---**
Zing!
**[20:01] ---**
It's Zing! The resurrection spell
said to bring back the dead!
**[20:06] ---**
Then Popp can be saved?!
**[20:08] ---**
I don't know.
**[20:10] ---**
Even with an experienced Cleric,
the success rate is less than 50 percent.
**[20:15] ---**
So it's up to the Princess's magic level.
**[20:19] ---**
Come back to us, Popp!
**[20:27] ---**
If you want to cut my arm
you'll have to use Gigabreak!
**[20:32] ---**
Curse you!
**[20:39] ---**
A Zapple spell?!
**[20:42] ---**
Crocodine!
**[20:46] ---**
Fool! Die quietly
like the bag of bones you are!
**[20:50] ---**
Not even the gods can interfere
in this battle between father and son!
**[20:56] ---**
Prepare yourself, Dai!
**[21:31] ---**
I'm not finished!
**[21:32] ---**
I can't just sit around.
If I can move, it's enough.
**[21:38] ---**
Crocodine, wake up! Get up!
**[21:41] ---**
Hyunckel.
**[21:42] ---**
We have to help Dai.
**[21:44] ---**
Lend me your strength. I have a plan.
**[21:48] ---**
What?!
**[22:04] ---**
*Even if you face the devil
With logic on your side*
**[22:04] ---**
*tatoe akuma ni seiron kazashite
mukatte mitemo*
**[22:07] ---**
*It may just be a rationalization*
**[22:07] ---**
*sore wa akumade seitouka
sashite chigai wa naikamo*
**[22:11] ---**
*Even now, even now I waver*
**[22:11] ---**
*ima mo ima mo yureteiru kedo*
**[22:15] ---**
*How far will we go?*
**[22:15] ---**
*bokura wa dokomade yukuno*
**[22:19] ---**
*I heard a voice like an angel's whisper*
**[22:19] ---**
*tenshi no sasayaki nimo nita
koe ga kikoeta*
**[22:22] ---**
*Maybe it was an imposter's illusion
It still rang in my ears*
**[22:22] ---**
*hatamata petenshi no mayakashi
hitokiwa mimi ni hibiiteita*
**[22:26] ---**
*Exposed to love and sorrow*
**[22:26] ---**
*ai ni hiai ni sarasare nagara*
**[22:30] ---**
*On the path strewn with pride*
**[22:30] ---**
*hokori mamire michi no tochu*
**[22:36] ---**
*Fleeting moments of cowardice*
**[22:36] ---**
*kiete wa ukabu touhikou*
**[22:40] ---**
*The SOS I held back*
**[22:40] ---**
*nomikonda SOS*
**[22:44] ---**
*I clenched my trembling fist*
**[22:44] ---**
*furueru te wo nigirishimeta*
**[22:48] ---**
*That single little promise*
**[22:48] ---**
*tatta hitotsu no chiisana yakusoku ga*
**[22:53] ---**
*Those trivial little memories*
**[22:53] ---**
*honno sasaina omoidetachi ga*
**[22:57] ---**
*They're still in my heart*
**[22:57] ---**
*itsumade tattemo kono mune wo*
**[22:59] ---**
*As embers that keep me burning*
**[22:59] ---**
*kogashi tsuzukeru tomoshibi ni naru*
**[23:04] ---**
*A single transparent beam of light*
**[23:04] ---**
*tada hitosuji no toumei na hikari ga*
**[23:08] ---**
*Lights the way before me*
**[23:08] ---**
*me no mae wo terashite yuku*
**[23:11] ---**
*There is little that I can do*
**[23:11] ---**
*boku ni dekiru koto wa ikutsu mo naisa*
**[23:16] ---**
*Just keep on to the future
I managed to grasp through my faith*
**[23:16] ---**
*shinjinuita saki ni te ni shita mirai wo
susunde yuke*
**[23:34] ---**
*Dai is on the defense, but thanks to
backup from Hyunckel, he holds out.*
**[23:39] ---**
*Meanwhile, Leona continues
to desperately cast Zing on Popp.*
**[23:44] ---**
*The battle's conclusion approaches.*
**[23:46] ---**
*Will Dai be able
to defeat his father Baran?*
**[23:49] ---**
*Lightning shall sever
the ties of father and son.*
**[23:53] ---**
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,*
**[23:55] ---**
*"Farewell to the Father"*
**[23:57] ---**
*The adventure continues!*

FAREWELL TO THE FATHER
**[02:06] ---**
Crocodine, do you have any strength left
to throw me up there?
**[02:10] ---**
What?
**[02:11] ---**
You trying to fight in the air
won't make any difference.
**[02:16] ---**
I know.
**[02:17] ---**
Then why?
**[02:19] ---**
The same as you.
**[02:23] ---**
What kind of man would watch
someone die like that and do nothing?
**[02:30] ---**
Okay!
**[02:41] ---**
Ready?!
**[02:42] ---**
Not yet! The timing is everything!
**[02:53] ---**
It's over!
**[02:54] ---**
Now!
**[03:03] ---**
You filthy trash!
**[03:10] ---**
Your pitiful attacks won't...
**[03:20] ---**
Dai! Use that!
**[03:22] ---**
It's not as strong as Baran's,
but it's still a Legendary Dark Blade!
**[03:28] ---**
So that was his plan from the start!
**[03:32] ---**
Curse you!
**[03:42] ---**
Hyunckel, are you all right?!
**[03:44] ---**
I'll heal you!
**[03:46] ---**
*Dai, finish it in one shot.*
**[03:49] ---**
*Not even the Dark Armour Blade
can endure your power for long.*
**[03:58] ---**
Yes! This'll work!
**[04:12] ---**
I could tell when our blades crossed!
**[04:15] ---**
That weapon isn't as strong
as my Demon Dragon Blade!
**[04:20] ---**
I'll shatter it in one blow...
**[04:23] ---**
with my ultimate attack, Gigabreak!
**[04:27] ---**
That's not a true Gigabreak!
**[04:31] ---**
The spell you just used was Zapple!
**[04:36] ---**
That's it!
**[04:38] ---**
You don't have enough Magic Power
to use Kazap anymore!
**[04:43] ---**
If it's the same spell...
**[04:45] ---**
we'll win!
**[04:49] ---**
A Zapple spell!
**[04:53] ---**
With my power...
**[04:56] ---**
and Master's attack...
**[04:58] ---**
and Hyunckel's blade...
**[05:00] ---**
*All his power is in the blade!*
**[05:03] ---**
*And...*
**[05:06] ---**
the all of the memories
that Popp restored.
**[05:14] ---**
That's what I'll hit you with!
**[05:16] ---**
Silence!
**[06:15] ---**
Why aren't they using their attacks?
**[06:17] ---**
Because they both know
their next attack will be their last.
**[06:22] ---**
Whoever offers the slightest opening
will lose this fight.
**[06:26] ---**
*Good luck, Dai.*
**[06:30] ---**
*For Popp, too.*
**[06:33] ---**
*It's no good.
He's not responding to my Zing spell.*
**[06:37] ---**
*At this rate...*
**[06:39] ---**
*Please! Come back to us, Popp!*
**[06:58] ---**
What happened to me?
**[07:01] ---**
Did I die?
**[07:04] ---**
Well, I used Megante, so obviously...
**[07:11] ---**
Megante?!
**[07:13] ---**
Where's Baran?!
**[07:15] ---**
He's not here.
**[07:17] ---**
So if this is the afterlife, he went
to a different afterlife or something?
**[07:22] ---**
Popp!
**[07:23] ---**
Popp!
**[07:24] ---**
Huh? Who's there?
**[07:26] ---**
It's me!
**[07:28] ---**
You're... Gome?!
**[07:30] ---**
Popp!
**[07:31] ---**
Well, what do you know.
**[07:33] ---**
Gome's talking. I guess
anything's possible in the afterlife.
**[07:38] ---**
Wait, does that mean you're dead, too?
**[07:42] ---**
Popp, don't go that way!
**[07:45] ---**
You'll enter the Land of the Dead
and you won't be able to come back!
**[07:50] ---**
Huh?
**[07:51] ---**
Even if you say that,
my feet keep moving and won't stop.
**[07:58] ---**
Get a grip, Popp! You can't die here!
**[08:03] ---**
We've come all this way together!
**[08:06] ---**
If you die, I...
**[08:09] ---**
I...
**[08:14] ---**
Sorry, Gome. But it's over for me.
**[08:19] ---**
It's a miracle I lived this long.
**[08:23] ---**
My strength could only take me so far.
**[08:27] ---**
Popp...
**[08:35] ---**
Stupid Popp! You weakling!
**[08:43] ---**
What?!
**[09:07] ---**
He fell for it!
**[09:09] ---**
I hate you, Popp!
**[09:12] ---**
You haven't even avenged Master Avan
and you're giving up!
**[09:17] ---**
You're a weakling, Popp!
**[09:19] ---**
Why you little...! I'm not letting
a crybaby like you call me a weakling!
**[09:25] ---**
I tried as hard as I could!
**[09:28] ---**
You liar!
**[09:32] ---**
You're still a child!
**[09:34] ---**
You don't have my battle experience!
**[09:51] ---**
*Dai's still...*
**[09:53] ---**
fighting alone out there!
**[10:05] ---**
*And yet...*
**[10:06] ---**
you're abandoning him!
**[10:08] ---**
You're pathetic! You're just a weakling!
**[10:27] ---**
Watch your mouth, Stupid Gome.
**[10:30] ---**
Huh?
**[10:32] ---**
I...
**[10:34] ---**
I may be dead, but I'll...
**[10:37] ---**
I'll...
**[10:39] ---**
This is the end!
**[10:41] ---**
Fall to my Gigabreak!
**[10:44] ---**
I'll...!
**[10:48] ---**
I'll never abandon Dai!
**[11:15] ---**
*Impossible! A corpse cast a spell?!*
**[11:25] ---**
Now!
**[11:33] ---**
Avan Strash!
**[12:10] ---**
A-A draw?!
**[12:24] ---**
AVAN STRASH
**[12:29] ---**
GIGABREAK
**[12:36] ---**
Dai!
**[12:41] ---**
He's alive!
**[12:42] ---**
Oh!
**[12:43] ---**
Dai!
**[12:49] ---**
Thanks.
**[12:50] ---**
Are you all right?
**[12:51] ---**
Yeah. It's thanks to you guys.
**[12:59] ---**
The Dark Armour Blade!
**[13:00] ---**
Even an immortal Dark Blade
cannot be restored with its blade gone.
**[13:08] ---**
The Dark Blade is dead.
**[13:11] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[13:12] ---**
Don't worry. Your life is more valuable.
**[13:16] ---**
Thanks.
**[13:18] ---**
That's right! Popp!
**[13:20] ---**
Yes! Popp is all right as well!
**[13:25] ---**
No...
**[13:27] ---**
Leona?
**[13:29] ---**
Popp... can't be resurrected.
**[13:34] ---**
That's impossible! He just...
**[13:37] ---**
That's right! He cast a spell!
**[13:40] ---**
I don't understand why that happened.
**[13:44] ---**
But, my Zing spell didn't work!
**[13:49] ---**
I'm sorry! I wasn't strong enough!
**[13:55] ---**
No...
**[13:57] ---**
Say it isn't true, Popp.
**[14:00] ---**
Please!
**[14:02] ---**
Open your eyes! Popp!
**[14:05] ---**
Popp!
**[14:34] ---**
Baran?!
**[14:47] ---**
Don't bother bluffing.
**[14:49] ---**
I know you don't have
a bit of strength left.
**[14:58] ---**
Like myself.
**[15:06] ---**
*His heart has definitely stopped.*
**[15:09] ---**
*And yet, how...?*
**[15:11] ---**
*Did his feelings for his friend*
**[15:15] ---**
*cause this dead boy's body to move?*
**[15:20] ---**
*Is such a miracle possible?*
**[15:24] ---**
*How ironic.*
**[15:27] ---**
*The power of Dragons,
magic of Darklings, and heart of humans.*
**[15:32] ---**
*Of the three gifts
granted to a Dragon Knight,*
**[15:36] ---**
*for the human heart
I cast aside as useless...*
**[15:42] ---**
*to deal such crushing blows to me.*
**[15:58] ---**
What are you doing?
**[16:11] ---**
Dino, I have nothing to say.
**[16:14] ---**
Take the path that you believe is right.
**[16:18] ---**
However, this world has no use
for two Dragon Knights!
**[16:23] ---**
Once my blade is restored
and my wounds healed...
**[16:28] ---**
we shall settle this!
**[16:30] ---**
You're returning to the Dark Army?
**[16:32] ---**
I no longer care about the Dark Army.
**[16:36] ---**
If you defeat me,
**[16:38] ---**
you can go on to destroy
the Dark Army for the humans.
**[16:41] ---**
But if I win...
**[16:44] ---**
I will wipe out the humans!
**[16:47] ---**
You're still saying that?!
**[16:49] ---**
It's too late to change my ways.
This is just how it is for adults.
**[16:54] ---**
You stubborn idiot!
**[16:58] ---**
Say what you will.
**[17:15] ---**
Popp is...!
**[17:18] ---**
He's alive again! He has a pulse!
**[17:22] ---**
Popp?!
**[17:23] ---**
The boy is tougher than he looks.
**[17:27] ---**
Did you...?!
**[17:30] ---**
This is the first and last time
I offer a gift to an enemy.
**[17:34] ---**
Next time we meet, I won't hold back.
**[17:38] ---**
Dino!
**[17:39] ---**
No...
**[17:41] ---**
Dai!
**[17:44] ---**
You've been warned!
**[17:48] ---**
*Baran has regained his human heart.*
**[17:53] ---**
*That's why, to atone for his sins,
he wants his own son to take him down.*
**[18:00] ---**
*He truly is tragically powerful
and ever alone.*
**[18:12] ---**
It's the worst possible outcome!
**[18:15] ---**
Baran survived
and Dai's powers have begun to awaken!
**[18:21] ---**
At this rate, I'll...
**[18:23] ---**
I'll...
**[18:25] ---**
Dark Commander Hadlar.
**[18:30] ---**
His Majesty, Dark King Vearn summons you.
**[18:35] ---**
Hadlar, raise your head.
**[18:40] ---**
What's wrong? Raise your head.
**[18:43] ---**
I-I beg for forgiveness, King Vearn!
**[18:46] ---**
Baran's failure
is my responsibility as his superior!
**[18:50] ---**
When he returns, I shall make sure to...
**[18:52] ---**
Fool!
**[18:55] ---**
Baran will likely never return.
**[18:59] ---**
Considering his personality,
**[19:02] ---**
I doubt he'll do anything
unless it involves Dai.
**[19:07] ---**
Baran's failure
**[19:09] ---**
is your crime for hiding that Dai was
a Dragon Knight even from me!
**[19:17] ---**
This is the result
of your petty little games!
**[19:24] ---**
Baran is the only being in the world
who has the power to resist me.
**[19:31] ---**
Convincing him to become an ally
was not an easy task.
**[19:39] ---**
I'll say it once more, raise your head.
**[19:49] ---**
I am a tolerant man.
**[19:52] ---**
I will forgive up to three failures.
**[19:56] ---**
However...
**[19:58] ---**
*you've cost us Romos Kingdom
and Papnica kingdom,*
**[20:04] ---**
*allowing two of our Legion Commanders
to join the other side.*
**[20:10] ---**
And on Valge Island...
**[20:13] ---**
*despite leading an army,
you failed to kill Dai.*
**[20:20] ---**
And now, this incident with Baran...
**[20:30] ---**
However...
**[20:32] ---**
I did not forget
that you slew Avan, the Hero.
**[20:40] ---**
Hadlar, this is your last chance.
**[20:44] ---**
When you next appear before me,
**[20:47] ---**
if Dai and his friends
have not been wiped out,
**[20:53] ---**
my third finger shall drop.
**[20:57] ---**
Am I understood?
**[20:58] ---**
Y-Yes, my king!
**[21:01] ---**
I, Hadlar, shall stake my life on it!
**[21:06] ---**
Very well. Go.
**[21:08] ---**
My king!
**[21:18] ---**
Shouldn't we just kill him?
**[21:22] ---**
I have given him the ultimate body.
**[21:26] ---**
If he cannot win,
then the weakness is in his mind.
**[21:30] ---**
Driven to desperation,
he may actually prove his worth.
**[21:35] ---**
We can kill him anytime.
**[21:38] ---**
Amazing, King Vearn.
You've thought of everything.
**[21:42] ---**
King Vearn, hooray! Hooray!
**[21:45] ---**
Let us sit back and enjoy...
**[21:49] ---**
the final charge of the Hadlar Legion.

ZABOERA'S SCHEME
**[01:53] ---**
Zaboera!
**[01:54] ---**
My Lord?
**[01:54] ---**
Summon your Mystic Legion at once!
**[01:57] ---**
What?!
**[01:58] ---**
I'll summon my elite guards as well!
**[02:01] ---**
We'll gather our remaining forces
and launch a mass offensive against Dai!
**[02:08] ---**
Wait a minute, Lord Hadlar!
That plan already failed once!
**[02:13] ---**
Dai's party cannot be defeated
with any regular tactics!
**[02:17] ---**
Assassination through careful planning
would be better.
**[02:22] ---**
Leave it to me.
**[02:25] ---**
A victor is not one who is strong.
**[02:29] ---**
A victor is one who survives
to the end by any means.
**[02:53] ---**
Let her sleep.
**[02:55] ---**
She's been using Fullheal nonstop
to tend to our wounds.
**[03:02] ---**
It was a difficult fight.
We're lucky we all survived.
**[03:09] ---**
What's wrong?
**[03:10] ---**
The fight isn't over yet.
**[03:12] ---**
Baran may be gone,
but the other Legion Commanders remain.
**[03:17] ---**
We won't stand a chance
if we're attacked now. I'll stand guard.
**[03:23] ---**
You can't in that condition!
**[03:25] ---**
That's right.
**[03:26] ---**
The half-dead should take it easy.
**[03:29] ---**
Popp.
**[03:30] ---**
Leave guard duty to me.
**[03:32] ---**
What are you talking about?
If we're half-dead, you really were dead!
**[03:38] ---**
You need rest the most!
**[03:40] ---**
Actually, I'm not sure why,
**[03:43] ---**
but I actually feel better than
before I died.
**[03:48] ---**
Save your bravado.
**[03:50] ---**
See for yourself if it's bravado.
**[03:59] ---**
Was that a Sizz spell?
**[04:00] ---**
That's impossible unless
you really focus your Magic Power.
**[04:05] ---**
See? For some reason
I'm in tip-top shape today.
**[04:09] ---**
Fine. It looks like
you're in the best shape among us.
**[04:13] ---**
Don't worry about it.
If things get ugly, I'll give a shout.
**[04:21] ---**
It's been said that drinking the legendary
Dragon's blood grants immortality.
**[04:27] ---**
Perhaps Baran's blood has made
Popp's body stronger than before.
**[04:33] ---**
Oh wow.
**[04:35] ---**
Then if you drink my blood
will you all get stronger?
**[04:40] ---**
Baran said
your blood is closer to a human's.
**[04:43] ---**
Aww. I thought if I had that power,
I could keep anyone from dying.
**[04:52] ---**
Don't worry, Dai. We won't die so easily.
**[04:56] ---**
And that includes Popp.
**[05:02] ---**
Don't worry.
**[05:04] ---**
This is the least I can do to be useful.
**[05:09] ---**
My suicide attack fails,
and I end up saved by my target.
**[05:14] ---**
Talk about embarrassing.
**[05:17] ---**
Next time, I won't miss!
**[05:21] ---**
I'm not going to cast Megante again.
**[05:24] ---**
I just meant I won't mess up.
**[05:28] ---**
*I knew Popp was forcing himself.*
**[05:31] ---**
I'll survive until the end.
I promised on the other side, didn't I?
**[05:37] ---**
You don't remember?
**[05:39] ---**
You really are a mystery.
**[05:43] ---**
Are you our guardian or something?
**[05:46] ---**
*Please don't push yourself any further.*
**[05:51] ---**
Who's there?! Show yourself!
**[05:54] ---**
Things sound rough. Need a hand?
**[05:57] ---**
Th-That voice!
**[06:03] ---**
Maam!
**[06:06] ---**
I-Is it... Is it really you?!
**[06:10] ---**
Have you forgotten
your friend's face already?
**[06:13] ---**
Of course I haven't!
**[06:17] ---**
*So that's Maam,
one of the Disciples of Avan.*
**[06:21] ---**
*Popp looks so happy to see her.*
**[06:25] ---**
*But...*
**[06:26] ---**
What about your martial arts training?
**[06:29] ---**
Huh?
**[06:30] ---**
You're all trained up now?
**[06:32] ---**
Oh, that.
I packed it in before I finished.
**[06:36] ---**
I got worried about you guys.
**[06:38] ---**
Huh?
**[06:40] ---**
*Maam quit something before completing it?*
**[06:43] ---**
*I don't know why, but I don't like her.*
**[06:47] ---**
*There's something sinister about her.*
**[06:52] ---**
*Goodness! I must be just jealous of her!*
**[06:57] ---**
What's wrong?
**[06:58] ---**
N-Nothing! Forget it!
**[07:01] ---**
Let's go see Dai and Leona and the others!
They're in for a surprise!
**[07:08] ---**
Huh?
**[07:10] ---**
It's okay, Popp. They're exhausted
from fighting and asleep, right?
**[07:15] ---**
Let's not wake them.
**[07:17] ---**
Besides, I'd like to stay here
a little longer.
**[07:21] ---**
Huh?
**[07:24] ---**
*S-Something smells sweet.*
**[07:27] ---**
*I feel woozy.*
**[07:36] ---**
Popp...
**[07:38] ---**
*I-I can't believe it.
Maam would never do this.*
**[07:44] ---**
Popp...
**[07:46] ---**
Maam...
**[07:49] ---**
Goodnight!
**[07:51] ---**
What are you doing, Maam?!
**[07:54] ---**
I've brought a friend with me.
**[07:56] ---**
What?!
**[07:57] ---**
I'll introduce you.
**[08:00] ---**
H-Hadlar?!
**[08:02] ---**
Then you're...!
**[08:09] ---**
I've heard of you!
**[08:10] ---**
I'm Mystic Bishop Zaboera.
**[08:13] ---**
You were on guard, so I borrowed
Maam's likeness with a Morph spell.
**[08:18] ---**
I was told you're quite fond of the girl.
**[08:23] ---**
Y-You dirty...
**[08:28] ---**
So it worked.
**[08:29] ---**
Yes.
**[08:31] ---**
*I can't move!*
**[08:33] ---**
What did you do to me?!
**[08:38] ---**
My body contains hundreds of poisons.
**[08:44] ---**
I injected the most potent
neurotoxin through my claws.
**[08:51] ---**
Everybody...!
**[08:53] ---**
Give it up! You can't even scream now!
**[08:57] ---**
Besides...
**[08:58] ---**
thanks to the Dark Incense
I've been diffusing,
**[09:03] ---**
everybody's in a slumber
deeper than the ocean!
**[09:06] ---**
You can assassinate
all of them now, Lord Hadlar.
**[09:10] ---**
Good.
**[09:14] ---**
I didn't expect this one
to resist the Dark Incense, though.
**[09:18] ---**
Perhaps he's gained some special power.
**[09:22] ---**
That's the Disciples of Avan for you.
**[09:25] ---**
They gain power when you're not watching
and bare their fangs.
**[09:30] ---**
I should kill him here.
**[09:34] ---**
I'm disappointed, Hadlar.
**[09:36] ---**
What?!
**[09:37] ---**
You were always cruel,
but you never played dirty!
**[09:40] ---**
We've fought before, but you always had
the dignity of the Dark Lord!
**[09:47] ---**
And now you're resorting
to the dirty tricks of this old gremlin!
**[09:53] ---**
Oh how the mighty have fallen!
**[09:56] ---**
Shut up!
**[09:58] ---**
I cannot fail again! I don't have
the luxury of choosing my methods!
**[10:05] ---**
You know,
Crocodine once said the same thing.
**[10:10] ---**
But in the end, he realized the truth!
**[10:13] ---**
There are more important things
than winning or losing!
**[10:20] ---**
You think you can lecture Lord Hadlar?!
**[10:24] ---**
I'll finish you myself!
**[10:26] ---**
A few more pricks and I'm sure you'll die!
**[10:32] ---**
Time to die!
**[10:37] ---**
What?!
**[10:40] ---**
Get your grubby little paws off of him!
**[10:42] ---**
Wh-Who are you?!
**[10:46] ---**
Mentor... Matoriv!
**[10:54] ---**
SIZZLE
HEAT-TYPE SPELL
**[10:59] ---**
DARK INCENSE
**[11:02] ---**
Wh-Who are you?!
**[11:04] ---**
Mentor... Matoriv!
**[11:08] ---**
Moron, you let them trick you.
You need to work on your perception.
**[11:13] ---**
Sorry, Mentor.
**[11:15] ---**
Remember, a Mage must always be
the most level-headed in the party.
**[11:22] ---**
Even when everybody's worked up,
**[11:24] ---**
you need to stay cool as ice
and understand the situation.
**[11:28] ---**
At least that was what I did
when working with Avan.
**[11:34] ---**
Now I remember!
**[11:36] ---**
You sided with Avan and resisted me!
**[11:40] ---**
You called yourself
the most powerful human Grand Sorcerer!
**[11:44] ---**
Yo, you seem well,
you third-rate Dark Lord.
**[11:47] ---**
What did you call me?!
**[11:49] ---**
You wouldn't just die
so now I have to play clean-up.
**[11:54] ---**
Plus you killed one of my only friends.
**[11:58] ---**
He was a good guy. He really was.
**[12:01] ---**
And he wasn't even a third of my age.
**[12:05] ---**
Roka... Avan... All the good ones die.
**[12:09] ---**
And crooks like you and me
end up surviving.
**[12:13] ---**
What an ugly world.
**[12:18] ---**
I'll make you a deal. I'll send you
to the afterlife, so go apologize to Avan!
**[12:24] ---**
Shut up, you old fossil!
**[12:27] ---**
I'll reduce all of you to ash!
**[12:31] ---**
Sizzle.
**[12:33] ---**
What?!
**[12:36] ---**
Squelch.
**[12:38] ---**
*Two spells at once?!*
**[12:42] ---**
*He's not healing right away.
They got him with a powerful poison.*
**[12:49] ---**
Don't get cocky!
**[12:52] ---**
How about this?!
**[12:55] ---**
Kasizz!
**[12:59] ---**
I-Impossible! There's no way!
**[13:04] ---**
Kasizz!
**[13:15] ---**
H-How can a mere human use Kasizz?!
**[13:20] ---**
Did you think you had a patent?!
Get over yourself!
**[13:28] ---**
*I'm losing!
Is his Magic Power greater than mine?!*
**[13:33] ---**
Zaboera!
**[13:35] ---**
Hurry up and help me!
**[13:39] ---**
This is for my arm!
**[13:41] ---**
Sizzle!
**[14:03] ---**
I wish I was younger!
My body can't keep up with the spell!
**[14:09] ---**
*N-No! My mentor is in danger!*
**[14:12] ---**
*At this rate everyone in the shack
will die, too!*
**[14:16] ---**
*No! Everyone, wake up! Please wake up!*
**[14:21] ---**
*Big guy! Hyunckel! Princess! Dai!*
**[14:26] ---**
*Dai!*
**[14:32] ---**
Seems you've reached your limit.
**[14:34] ---**
In the end, you're the one
who'll be seeing Avan!
**[14:50] ---**
We did it!
**[15:04] ---**
Dai?!
**[15:08] ---**
Dai!
**[15:09] ---**
Dai!
**[15:10] ---**
You're supposed to be asleep!
**[15:13] ---**
I heard Popp calling me!
**[15:16] ---**
That's impossible!
**[15:17] ---**
Begone, Hadlar!
I'll never let another friend die!
**[15:22] ---**
Curse you!
**[15:24] ---**
Not one more friend!
**[15:27] ---**
Sizzle!
**[15:56] ---**
*He focused all his power into his fist,*
**[15:59] ---**
*and reflected their Sizzle spells
with his own Sizzle spell.*
**[16:03] ---**
*Even I can't do that.*
**[16:08] ---**
Are you okay?!
**[16:09] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[16:10] ---**
You did it!
**[16:12] ---**
You hit them with all that Heat Energy.
Hadlar must be done for sure.
**[16:16] ---**
I don't know.
He's pretty tenacious.
**[16:22] ---**
Sorry. You had to save me again.
**[16:26] ---**
But... But you know,
I appreciate what you said.
**[16:31] ---**
"I'll never let another friend die."
**[16:38] ---**
You softies.
**[16:41] ---**
What happened?
**[16:43] ---**
Th-This is...!
**[16:45] ---**
Did we sleep through
an explosion of this size?!
**[16:50] ---**
Zaboera and Hadlar showed up.
**[16:53] ---**
W-What?!
**[17:01] ---**
I managed to get away with a Zoom spell.
**[17:04] ---**
Those filthy little brats!
**[17:07] ---**
I doubt Hadlar survived that.
**[17:10] ---**
After all the help I gave him,
he's useless!
**[17:14] ---**
I'll have to ingratiate myself
with Mystvearn...
**[17:21] ---**
Lord Hadlar?!
**[17:22] ---**
Zaboera, I won't let you betray me!
**[17:26] ---**
You and I are in the same boat now!
**[17:30] ---**
If you try latching on
to someone else, I'll kill you!
**[17:36] ---**
I know about your secret research
about Superior Beings!
**[17:43] ---**
-What?!
-It's time to use that research for me!
**[17:46] ---**
Why?!
**[17:47] ---**
The Disciples of Avan
are growing fast! Too fast!
**[17:52] ---**
This body King Vearn gave me
isn't enough to keep up!
**[17:57] ---**
I need greater power!
**[18:00] ---**
Power like that Dragonoid Baran!
**[18:04] ---**
I need the greatest power in the world
beyond anyone else!
**[18:13] ---**
I see. That explains
the Crest on your hand.
**[18:17] ---**
It's impressive power.
**[18:19] ---**
I'm alive thanks to you.
**[18:22] ---**
We're sorry. We fell into a trap
by Zaboera of all people.
**[18:27] ---**
Don't beat yourself up over it.
**[18:29] ---**
Somebody even had their feelings
manipulated and got all spoony.
**[18:36] ---**
I can't believe Hadlar
actually participated in Zaboera's scheme.
**[18:41] ---**
He was always one
who preferred brute force.
**[18:43] ---**
He probably realized
brute force wouldn't work.
**[18:46] ---**
Since it turns out the Hero is the son of
the legendary Dragon Knight.
**[18:52] ---**
He must have been pretty desperate.
**[18:54] ---**
I think something big is going on
within the Dark Army.
**[19:00] ---**
Hey, Mentor, you knew
Dai is a Dragon Knight, didn't you?
**[19:04] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:05] ---**
You should have told us sooner!
**[19:08] ---**
Plus you could've shown up sooner,
couldn't you?!
**[19:14] ---**
I knew learning the fate of the
Dragon Knight would hurt you mentally.
**[19:20] ---**
There's nothing I can do
to help with that.
**[19:23] ---**
I figured only one person could help,
so I dug this up.
**[19:28] ---**
What's this dirty book... Huh?!
**[19:32] ---**
This mark... Is it...?!
**[19:34] ---**
Master Avan's!
**[19:35] ---**
That's right.
This is the famous Book of Avan.
**[19:39] ---**
The Book of Avan?!
**[19:40] ---**
Avan, the Hero who saved the world,
**[19:42] ---**
wrote of his skills, spells, and thoughts
for future generations.
**[19:47] ---**
It's the only hand-written book of his.
**[19:50] ---**
I never knew there was such a book.
**[19:54] ---**
It was stored in the Library of Carl,
his home country.
**[19:57] ---**
I figured you'd need it more.
**[20:01] ---**
Check the Book of Air, page 192.
**[20:05] ---**
The Book of Earth is about combat skills.
Sea covers Aura skills and spells.
**[20:11] ---**
And the Book of Air is of the soul.
**[20:15] ---**
Uh...
**[20:16] ---**
"To the... and..."
**[20:21] ---**
Leona, can you read it?
I can't read a lot of the words.
**[20:26] ---**
"To the wounded and lost.
**[20:29] ---**
Defeat is not to fall from your wounds.
**[20:33] ---**
It is when you lose yourself
after falling.
**[20:38] ---**
*Be strong of heart.*
**[20:40] ---**
*Calmly consider your goals
and your abilities.*
**[20:48] ---**
*We are all limited in what we can do.*
**[20:51] ---**
*When each of us does the best we can do,*
**[20:55] ---**
*even when on the edge of despair,
the path to victory shall shine through."*
**[21:02] ---**
*It's almost like Master is here
reassuring us.*
**[21:07] ---**
*Those were just the words
we needed to hear.*
**[21:11] ---**
*Avan...*
**[21:12] ---**
It's just the item
for green little fledglings like you.
**[21:17] ---**
Take good care of it.
**[21:19] ---**
Thank you, Matoriv.
**[21:22] ---**
"Your goals and abilities..."
**[21:27] ---**
Let's return to Papnica.
**[21:29] ---**
I want to do the best that I can do.
**[21:33] ---**
Something more for the world
than just fighting with you.
**[21:38] ---**
Something only I can do!
**[21:52] ---**
Dai! We're going!
**[21:56] ---**
Okay!
**[22:04] ---**
*Even if you face the devil
With logic on your side*
**[22:04] ---**
*tatoe akuma ni seiron kazashite

**[22:07] ---**
*It may just be a rationalization*
**[22:07] ---**

**[22:11] ---**
*Even now, even now I waver*

**[22:15] ---**
*How far will we go?*
**[22:15] ---**

**[22:19] ---**
*I heard a voice like an angel's whisper*
**[22:19] ---**
*tenshi no sasayaki nimo nita

**[22:22] ---**
*Maybe it was an imposter's illusion
It still rang in my ears*
**[22:22] ---**
*hatamata petenshi no mayakashi

**[22:26] ---**
*Exposed to love and sorrow*

**[22:30] ---**
*On the path strewn with pride*
**[22:30] ---**

*Fleeting moments of cowardice*

*The SOS I held back*

**[22:44] ---**
*I clenched my trembling fist*
**[22:44] ---**

**[22:48] ---**
*That single little promise*
**[22:48] ---**
*tatta hitotsu no chiisana yakusoku ga*
**[22:53] ---**
*Those trivial little memories*
**[22:53] ---**

**[22:57] ---**
*They're still in my heart*
**[22:57] ---**

**[23:00] ---**
*As embers that keep me burning*
**[23:00] ---**

**[23:04] ---**
*A single transparent beam of light*
**[23:04] ---**

*Lights the way before me*
**[23:08] ---**

*There is little that I can do*
**[23:11] ---**

*Just keep on to the future
I managed to grasp through my faith*

THE ROMOS MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENT
**[01:54] ---**
It's the balloon!
The balloon has returned!
**[02:08] ---**
We're back!
**[02:10] ---**
Princess!
**[02:12] ---**
Where has she been this whole time?
**[02:15] ---**
And she's brought more members.
**[02:21] ---**
Princess Leona, as the princess
of a country, you must behave--
**[02:25] ---**
Gather the key figures
of our country at once.
**[02:29] ---**
Huh?! Uh...
**[02:30] ---**
Time is of the essence. Hurry!
**[02:33] ---**
Princess!
**[02:35] ---**
Huh? What's going on?
**[02:37] ---**
Leona!
**[02:38] ---**
What about us?
**[02:39] ---**
You'll have to wait for now.
**[02:42] ---**
You should rest or train.
Just prepare for battle.
**[02:46] ---**
Prepare?
**[02:48] ---**
Would somebody
just tell me what happened?!
**[02:55] ---**
Take us to Romos.
**[02:56] ---**
My Lady!
**[02:58] ---**
It looks like Princess Leona
is leading the country to take action.
**[03:02] ---**
What should we do?
**[03:04] ---**
I don't know.
**[03:05] ---**
You all haven't fully healed yet.
Rest comes first.
**[03:10] ---**
But...
**[03:11] ---**
Shut up and obey! I'm off to bed, too.
**[03:37] ---**
Ah, that's enough.
**[03:39] ---**
Grand Master!
**[03:40] ---**
It's time for you to leave the mountain.
**[03:43] ---**
Test the results of your training here.
**[03:47] ---**
ROMOS KINGDOM
GRAND MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENT
**[03:48] ---**
This is...!
**[03:55] ---**
I'm not myself without this after all.
**[03:58] ---**
Your clothes look clean, too.
**[04:01] ---**
Merle fixed them for me back in Teran.
**[04:04] ---**
*She was so demure when we left.*
**[04:08] ---**
*She took really good care of us.*
**[04:12] ---**
I wonder if she has a thing for me?
**[04:16] ---**
As if!
**[04:18] ---**
*He's so dense when it comes to
girls he's not interested in.*
**[04:23] ---**
*What a waste.*
**[04:25] ---**
Okay, Mentor! Let's start my training!
**[04:28] ---**
With my powered-up spells,
I'll blow away...
**[04:35] ---**
So he finally managed to do it.
**[04:38] ---**
Huh?
**[04:39] ---**
We'll train later.
**[04:41] ---**
Go check it out.
**[04:48] ---**
Dai!
**[04:49] ---**
You actually learned to cast
Zapple by yourself?!
**[04:53] ---**
Yeah! I can do it any time
without the power of my crest!
**[04:58] ---**
Check it out!
**[05:06] ---**
Zapple!
**[05:11] ---**
Whoa! Awesome!
**[05:13] ---**
Indeed. You've grown strong, Dai!
**[05:16] ---**
That's nothing compared
to his real power, old man.
**[05:21] ---**
Dai! Now try using
the power of your crest!
**[05:26] ---**
Oh! The power of the Dragon Knight?!
**[05:29] ---**
Wait right there!
**[05:34] ---**
What's this?
**[05:35] ---**
A gift from the princess.
**[05:38] ---**
No weapon or armour can endure
the full power of a Dragon Knight,
**[05:45] ---**
but these clothes have been made with
special Papnican cloth and technique.
**[05:49] ---**
They should be fine!
**[05:53] ---**
Huh?
**[05:58] ---**
The Knife of Papnica!
I thought it burned up!
**[06:03] ---**
There are three Knives of Papnica.
**[06:06] ---**
*The one the princess had
and gave to you was the Sun Knife.*
**[06:10] ---**
*The one right here is the Wind Knife.*
**[06:13] ---**
Yeah, the other one had a red gem.
**[06:17] ---**
This one's is green.
**[06:19] ---**
The Sea Knife has been lost,
so take care of this one!
**[06:24] ---**
You can't use it when you're using
the power of your crest!
**[06:28] ---**
Got it!
**[06:29] ---**
Good. Now try them on!
**[06:42] ---**
Ooh!
**[06:48] ---**
Huh.
**[06:49] ---**
Oh! A perfect fit! You look good in them!
**[06:55] ---**
Dai, the princess is currently
working on something big.
**[07:00] ---**
Since she can't help in person,
**[07:02] ---**
she felt that giving you this equipment
was the least she could do.
**[07:08] ---**
Leona, thank you!
**[07:11] ---**
Okay! Then let's begin!
**[07:20] ---**
Crocodine!
**[07:21] ---**
Right!
**[07:29] ---**
Wow! The power of the crest
even lets him cast Levizoom!
**[07:39] ---**
That's fast!
**[07:41] ---**
This is great! It feels so light!
**[07:43] ---**
Then what about this?
**[07:48] ---**
Beast King Redemption Blast!
**[07:52] ---**
Draconic Aura!
**[08:01] ---**
He withstood it?!
**[08:03] ---**
Well done. Even my most powerful attack...
**[08:08] ---**
Huh?!
**[08:10] ---**
Dai!
**[08:11] ---**
Dai!
**[08:24] ---**
That scared me.
He suddenly fell out of the sky.
**[08:28] ---**
We thought Dai's power of the crest
was invincible, but it has a weakness.
**[08:35] ---**
With all of his Aura focused in his fist,
his energy gets drained rapidly.
**[08:42] ---**
If you can't control your energy use,
you won't be able to fight long battles.
**[08:47] ---**
That's not its only weakness.
**[08:50] ---**
Huh?
**[08:52] ---**
You can't use weapons.
**[08:55] ---**
Your fists will be enough
for a normal enemy,
**[08:58] ---**
but not against a powerful one like Baran.
**[09:02] ---**
Dammit!
**[09:05] ---**
*Maybe if you had a sword
like Baran's Demon Dragon Blade.*
**[09:10] ---**
Is the Demon Dragon Blade really
the only weapon a Dragon Knight can use?
**[09:15] ---**
I'm sure that's not true.
The world's a big place.
**[09:19] ---**
I'm sure there are other
amazing weapons out there.
**[09:22] ---**
For example,
the famous Sword of Champions.
**[09:27] ---**
The Sword of Champions?
**[09:28] ---**
That's just a legend.
**[09:30] ---**
No, it's not!
**[09:31] ---**
At the Martial Arts Tournament in Romos...
**[09:34] ---**
Martial Arts Tournament?
**[09:36] ---**
...the prize for the winner
is the Sword of Champions!
**[09:40] ---**
What?!
**[09:42] ---**
-Is that true?! Is it?! Is it?!
-Really?! Is it?!
**[09:44] ---**
It's true! Amy told me
when she came back from Romos!
**[09:49] ---**
That's it!
**[09:52] ---**
The Sword of Champions?
**[09:54] ---**
It's the prize for the tournament, right?
**[09:56] ---**
Oh, that.
**[09:58] ---**
I met King Romos
on orders from the princess.
**[10:02] ---**
ROMOS KINGDOM
GRAND MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENT
**[10:02] ---**
He wants to gather
strong warriors to fight the Dark Army,
**[10:05] ---**
so he's holding a Martial Arts Tournament.
**[10:08] ---**
Ooh!
**[10:09] ---**
Any fighting style is allowed
as well as weapons.
**[10:13] ---**
The winner will receive the legendary
Sword of Champions.
**[10:18] ---**
It's true!
**[10:19] ---**
When's the tournament?!
**[10:21] ---**
Today.
**[10:22] ---**
Today?!
**[10:23] ---**
The preliminary fights begin at noon.
**[10:25] ---**
Noon?! There's still time!
**[10:27] ---**
Where is it?!
**[10:29] ---**
At a Colosseum built
a short distance from Romos Castle.
**[10:32] ---**
We can reach the castle with Zoom!
**[10:34] ---**
We should hurry!
**[10:37] ---**
Zoom!
**[10:40] ---**
Wait!
**[10:45] ---**
Mister!
**[10:46] ---**
You!
**[10:47] ---**
The Hero!
**[10:49] ---**
Where's the Martial Arts Tournament?!
**[10:51] ---**
S-Straight down that road!
**[10:53] ---**
Down the path to the right!
**[10:55] ---**
-Thank you!
-Thanks!
**[10:57] ---**
We just might make it!
**[10:58] ---**
Let's win this thing
and get the Sword of Champions!
**[11:02] ---**
Yeah!
**[11:07] ---**
MAGIC BULLET GUN
**[11:12] ---**
CRACKLE
ICE-TYPE SPELL
**[11:16] ---**
Oh my. I thought they ran off in a hurry.
So they already went to Romos.
**[11:23] ---**
It's probably better than
waiting around here.
**[11:26] ---**
Lady Amy, what big thing
is Princess Leona planning?
**[11:31] ---**
I'm not at liberty
to discuss that right now.
**[11:35] ---**
But not only have
the Papnica Troika been deployed,
**[11:39] ---**
but the princess herself is traveling
the world in preparation.
**[11:45] ---**
I see.
**[11:46] ---**
Crocodine, what are your plans?
**[11:50] ---**
For now, I'm hoping Baduck
can repair my weapon.
**[11:54] ---**
Then I apologize for this, but...
**[11:58] ---**
I'm leaving to train.
**[11:59] ---**
To train?
**[12:01] ---**
The battle with Baran taught me something.
**[12:04] ---**
When powerful individuals
fight each other at full strength,
**[12:10] ---**
the battle becomes truly horrific.
**[12:14] ---**
*As a Dragonoid,
Baran couldn't control his power.*
**[12:19] ---**
*It turned him into a monster
capable of killing his own son, Dai.*
**[12:25] ---**
I used to believe all I had to do
was defeat my enemy, but I was wrong.
**[12:32] ---**
The power to fight and win isn't enough.
**[12:40] ---**
Now that I've been given this Dark Armour
Spear, I must live up to Larhart's will.
**[12:45] ---**
To do that, I must gain the power
to stop even one like Baran.
**[12:50] ---**
But how will you train?
**[12:53] ---**
I don't have that much experience
with a spear.
**[12:57] ---**
But the Book of Avan contains the secrets
of the Avan Style Spear Technique.
**[13:03] ---**
So Avan was a master of the spear as well?
**[13:07] ---**
He said he was a master
of all fighting styles.
**[13:11] ---**
I must master
the Avan Style Spear Technique
**[13:15] ---**
and learn to use this Dark Armour Spear.
**[13:19] ---**
Wait! Shouldn't you
take the Book of Avan?!
**[13:22] ---**
There's no need.
I've read enough to memorize it.
**[13:25] ---**
Besides, it's a little too precious
for me to take.
**[13:29] ---**
Dai and Popp should have it.
**[13:31] ---**
Hyunckel...
**[13:34] ---**
Take care of things for me.
**[13:36] ---**
Got it. Leave Dai and Papnica to me.
**[13:40] ---**
He's always so hard on himself.
**[13:43] ---**
He's begun to realize his responsibility
as the eldest Disciple of Avan.
**[13:52] ---**
Do you think Dai will be able to win
the Sword of Champions?
**[13:56] ---**
Oh? This says...
**[13:59] ---**
We're too late?!
**[14:01] ---**
The preliminary fights begin at noon,
but registration ends an hour before.
**[14:08] ---**
Can't you do something?!
We came all the way from Papnica!
**[14:13] ---**
I know it's a request from the Hero...
**[14:16] ---**
And I'd like to do something...
**[14:19] ---**
But rules are rules.
**[14:20] ---**
Oh, come on!
**[14:24] ---**
*The preliminary fights are starting.*
**[14:26] ---**
It's about to start!
**[14:28] ---**
I wonder who'll be fighting.
**[14:30] ---**
Man, what a crock.
What did we waste all that effort for?
**[14:34] ---**
Dammit.
**[14:35] ---**
How about we challenge the winner
and beat them?
**[14:39] ---**
-Is that what Heroes do?
-What do you think?! Well?!
**[14:42] ---**
Man, let's go home.
Forget the Sword of Champions.
**[14:47] ---**
Why don't we check out the tournament?
We might learn something.
**[14:52] ---**
No thanks.
**[14:54] ---**
It's a domestic tournament in Romos.
No one interesting will be in it.
**[15:00] ---**
Hey! Hurry up!
There's a cute girl fighting!
**[15:06] ---**
But we might just learn something.
**[15:11] ---**
Wow! Amazing!
**[15:23] ---**
Amazing!
**[15:26] ---**
Let's see how cute she is.
**[15:30] ---**
Why you...!
**[16:01] ---**
Oh, wow!
**[16:02] ---**
Actually, let's go.
**[16:04] ---**
I'd rather not get to know
any girl this freakishly strong.
**[16:24] ---**
I heard that, Popp!
**[16:26] ---**
Huh?!
**[16:38] ---**
*Three minutes, 15 seconds!
The Martial Artist Maam wins by knockout!*
**[16:43] ---**
Oh, wow! That girl really is tough!
**[16:46] ---**
*The next fight will begin in ten minutes!*
**[16:49] ---**
Maam!
**[16:52] ---**
Dai! Gomechan!
**[16:56] ---**
So you entered this Martial Arts
Tournament as a Martial Artist!
**[17:00] ---**
That's right! What a surprise!
I didn't expect to run into you here!
**[17:06] ---**
Popp?
**[17:07] ---**
What's wrong, Popp?
**[17:10] ---**
*Is it really Maam?
I can't be sure. It could be a fake again.*
**[17:19] ---**
*Okay!*
**[17:20] ---**
What?
**[17:22] ---**
Huh?
**[17:24] ---**
The real Maam's eyes should have
a different look from Zaboera's...
**[17:30] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[17:35] ---**
That slap's the real deal...
**[17:40] ---**
Who the hell are you?!
**[17:47] ---**
A Fat Rat!
**[17:48] ---**
What's it doing here?!
**[17:49] ---**
You got a problem?!
The rules don't say a monster can't enter!
**[17:56] ---**
A talking Fat Rat!
**[17:57] ---**
What the hell are you?!
**[18:00] ---**
Ow, ow, ow! What are you doing?!
**[18:03] ---**
That's my line! You dare disrespect
Miss Maam, you random pervert!
**[18:09] ---**
Wait! I'm not...!
**[18:10] ---**
That's enough, Chiu!
**[18:13] ---**
Yes, Miss!
**[18:14] ---**
I told you about them.
This is Dai, Popp, and Gomechan.
**[18:18] ---**
Huh? This is the Hero's party?
**[18:22] ---**
No way!
**[18:23] ---**
Yes way!
**[18:25] ---**
That hurt, you little rat!
I'm gonna roast you on a spit!
**[18:29] ---**
Wait, Popp.
**[18:31] ---**
He's my senior pupil. Please forgive him.
**[18:34] ---**
Senior pupil?! Ratty?!
**[18:36] ---**
That's right.
**[18:38] ---**
*I was trained by Grand Master
Brokeena the Holy Fist.*
**[18:43] ---**
This is the Karate Rat Chiu
who studied together with me.
**[18:47] ---**
Hah!
**[18:48] ---**
A Karate Rat?!
**[18:50] ---**
Huh.
**[18:51] ---**
I see. So you're the Hero Dai
I've heard so much about.
**[18:56] ---**
You're smaller than I thought.
**[18:59] ---**
Uh, you think so?
**[19:02] ---**
*The next fight is between the
Wrestler Gomes and the Karate Rat Chiu!*
**[19:08] ---**
*Both fighters enter the ring!*
**[19:12] ---**
Just sit back and see my strength!
**[19:15] ---**
Miss Maam, I'll make quick work of him!
**[19:20] ---**
Hey you, pervert Mage!
Let's talk later! Don't go anywhere!
**[19:27] ---**
That little...!
**[19:30] ---**
Sorry. He's not a bad guy at heart.
**[19:33] ---**
What's he like?
**[19:35] ---**
He used to be an evil monster
who ravaged a local village.
**[19:40] ---**
Grand Master Brokeena captured him
and put him to training.
**[19:46] ---**
He gained a strong heart immune
to the Dark Lord's evil will,
**[19:50] ---**
and studied to learn to talk.
**[19:53] ---**
Brokeena sounds impressive...
**[19:55] ---**
So what are you two doing here?
**[19:58] ---**
Well, we fought the Dragon Legion.
**[20:01] ---**
What?!
**[20:02] ---**
*Uh oh! We have to explain what happened
gently, or the shock might be a bit much.*
**[20:08] ---**
It was such an ordeal.
**[20:09] ---**
Hey! Dai!
**[20:11] ---**
Popp even died once!
**[20:15] ---**
Hey! Dai!
**[20:19] ---**
Care to explain?
**[20:21] ---**
Well... Uh...
**[20:27] ---**
Huh? What the hell?
**[20:30] ---**
A monster wearing fighting gear?
**[20:35] ---**
You don't even know
my real strength, you fool!
**[20:39] ---**
What did you say?!
**[20:41] ---**
If I can defeat this thug
and show off how cool I am,
**[20:45] ---**
Miss Maam's heart will be mine!
**[20:52] ---**
So that's why you need
the Sword of Champions.
**[20:55] ---**
Yeah. If you win this...
**[21:00] ---**
Even if I win, I won't accept
the Sword of Champions.
**[21:04] ---**
Huh?!
**[21:07] ---**
I can't help you kill your own father!
**[21:12] ---**
Maam...
**[21:14] ---**
But...
**[21:22] ---**
Hmm. This appears to be
quite a success, Mister Zamza.
**[21:27] ---**
Yes. And it's all thanks to you,
Your Majesty.
**[21:32] ---**
No, no. Gathering strong fighters
**[21:34] ---**
to increase our country's strength
was your idea. I merely agreed to it.
**[21:40] ---**
Let us hope we gather many of them.
**[21:43] ---**
Of course, Your Majesty.
**[21:52] ---**
That is our goal after all.
**[22:04] ---**
*Even if you face the devil
With logic on your side*
**[22:04] ---**
*tatoe akuma ni seiron kazashite
mukatte mitemo*
**[22:07] ---**
*It may just be a rationalization*
**[22:07] ---**
*sore wa akumade seitouka

**[22:11] ---**
*Even now, even now I waver*
**[22:11] ---**

**[22:15] ---**
*How far will we go?*
**[22:15] ---**
*bokura wa dokomade yukuno*

*I heard a voice like an angel's whisper*
**[22:19] ---**
*tenshi no sasayaki nimo nita

**[22:22] ---**
*Maybe it was an imposter's illusion
It still rang in my ears*
**[22:22] ---**
*hatamata petenshi no mayakashi

**[22:26] ---**
*Exposed to love and sorrow*

**[22:30] ---**
*On the path strewn with pride*
**[22:30] ---**

*Fleeting moments of cowardice*
**[22:36] ---**

*The SOS I held back*
**[22:40] ---**
*nomikonda SOS*
**[22:43] ---**
*I clenched my trembling fist*
**[22:44] ---**
*furueru te wo nigirishimeta*
**[22:48] ---**
*That single little promise*
**[22:48] ---**
*tatta hitotsu no chiisana yakusoku ga*
**[22:53] ---**
*Those trivial little memories*
**[22:53] ---**
*honno sasaina omoidetachi ga*
**[22:57] ---**
*They're still in my heart*
**[22:57] ---**
*itsumade tattemo kono mune wo*
**[22:59] ---**
*As embers that keep me burning*
**[22:59] ---**
*kogashi tsuzukeru tomoshibi ni naru*
**[23:04] ---**
*A single transparent beam of light*
**[23:04] ---**
*tada hitosuji no toumei na hikari ga*
**[23:08] ---**
*Lights the way before me*
**[23:08] ---**
*me no mae wo terashite yuku*
**[23:11] ---**
*There is little that I can do*
**[23:11] ---**
*boku ni dekiru koto wa ikutsu mo naisa*
**[23:16] ---**
*Just keep on to the future
I managed to grasp through my faith*
**[23:16] ---**
*shinjinuita saki ni te ni shita mirai wo

**[23:33] ---**
*Dai and Popp rejoice at their reunion
with the Martial Artist, Maam.*
**[23:38] ---**
*Leaving the tournament and
the Sword of Champions to Maam,*
**[23:41] ---**
*they watch over the battle
in anticipation.*
**[23:45] ---**
*The tournament moves on to the finals,*

THE INCIDENT AT THE FINALS
**[01:53] ---**
Who the heck is that?
**[01:55] ---**
Get him!
**[01:58] ---**
So that's why you need
the Sword of Champions.
**[02:01] ---**
Yeah. If you win this...
**[02:06] ---**
Even if I win, I won't accept
the Sword of Champions.
**[02:10] ---**
Huh?!
**[02:13] ---**
I can't help you kill your own father!
**[02:18] ---**
Maam...
**[02:20] ---**
But...
**[02:23] ---**
*And now, Gomez versus Chiu...*
**[02:26] ---**
*Let the fight begin!*
**[02:33] ---**
Baran may be the enemy,
but he's your long-lost father.
**[02:38] ---**
If it's for defeating him, I don't want
you to have the Sword of Champions.
**[02:45] ---**
Maam, the power of a Dragon Knight...
**[02:48] ---**
It's a terrifying power
that could destroy the world.
**[02:52] ---**
Baran's using that power
to wipe out humans.
**[02:56] ---**
But Dai's been using that power for good.
**[03:02] ---**
That's why I want Dai to have
a weapon that will let him face Baran!
**[03:11] ---**
Maam, I don't want to defeat Baran.
**[03:15] ---**
I want to show him.
**[03:17] ---**
Unlike his ideal Dragon Knight,
being raised by Grampa,
**[03:21] ---**
learning from Master Avan, and fighting
with everyone has made me far better.
**[03:27] ---**
Dai...
**[03:28] ---**
To do that, I need the Sword of Champions
to match his Demon Dragon Blade.
**[03:34] ---**
If it ever looks like I'll use it for
the wrong reasons, you can punch me.
**[03:44] ---**
All right, Dai.
**[03:48] ---**
Hearing all this startled me, but
I promise I'll win the Sword of Champions!
**[03:55] ---**
Maam!
**[03:55] ---**
Hup!
**[03:57] ---**
Right!
**[03:58] ---**
Thanks!
**[04:03] ---**
Okay! Let's go cheer on Chiu!
**[04:14] ---**
Huh?
**[04:21] ---**
Not bad there, lad.
**[04:22] ---**
Grand Master and Maam are the only ones
I've ever struggled this much against!
**[04:27] ---**
*But Grand Master and I are
the only ones you've ever sparred with.*
**[04:34] ---**
Stop acting tough, you puny rat!
**[04:36] ---**
Hah! Laugh while you still can!
**[04:39] ---**
You'll regret it
once you see my killer attack!
**[04:42] ---**
Oh! Here it comes!
**[04:44] ---**
Chiu's boulder-busting killer attack!
**[04:46] ---**
His killer attack?!
**[04:52] ---**
Here goes!
**[04:55] ---**
Rattus Fastus Fist!
**[05:03] ---**
Whoa!
**[05:15] ---**
*Two minutes five seconds!
The Wrestler Gomez wins by knockout!*
**[05:20] ---**
Good going!
**[05:21] ---**
Amazing!
**[05:24] ---**
A boulder doesn't hit back after all.
**[05:28] ---**
He's not very strong.
**[05:29] ---**
He tries his best though.
**[05:32] ---**
Oh. I get it now.
**[05:40] ---**
Why was my killer move defeated?!
**[05:43] ---**
Chiu, this is hard to say,
but I found out your weakness.
**[05:47] ---**
Huh?! I don't have any weaknesses!
**[05:50] ---**
Power, speed, technique... In all areas...
**[05:53] ---**
You're a Fat Rat, so your limbs are short.
**[05:56] ---**
*Your limbs are short...*
**[05:58] ---**
*Short..*
**[05:59] ---**
*You're a Fat Rat...*
**[06:01] ---**
*You're a Fat Rat...*
**[06:02] ---**
*Your limbs are short...*
**[06:05] ---**
He lacks reach. That's a critical
weakness for a Martial Artist.
**[06:10] ---**
His attacks can't reach his enemy.
**[06:12] ---**
No!
**[06:15] ---**
What's with him?
**[06:18] ---**
*The victor is Baloria!*
**[06:23] ---**
Listen, try to cheer up.
**[06:25] ---**
Be quiet.
**[06:27] ---**
I've just been given
a Martial Artist's death sentence.
**[06:32] ---**
Don't try to cheer me up.
**[06:34] ---**
Don't worry about it.
**[06:36] ---**
You can always fight
with headbutts and ramming attacks.
**[06:39] ---**
You've got the power.
**[06:40] ---**
Do you think a hero who fights with
headbutts and ramming attacks is cool?
**[06:45] ---**
Not really.
**[06:46] ---**
H-Hey.
**[06:47] ---**
I have to be cool!
**[06:49] ---**
The only reason I entered this tournament
was to show how cool I am to Miss Maam!
**[06:54] ---**
What?!
**[06:55] ---**
You're awfully audacious for a monster!
**[06:58] ---**
Hah! Love has no boundaries!
**[07:00] ---**
Get real!
**[07:01] ---**
You're a noisy one!
**[07:03] ---**
I didn't like you the moment I saw you!
**[07:05] ---**
What?!
**[07:06] ---**
Ah-ha. I get it. You're Miss Maam's ex.
**[07:11] ---**
Wha...?!
**[07:13] ---**
I don't care about a woman's past.
**[07:16] ---**
I don't know what happened
between you two, but...
**[07:19] ---**
Here's two gold coins.
So forget about her, alright?
**[07:24] ---**
Who taught you this stuff, you stupid rat!
**[07:27] ---**
Why you...! You dare raise a hand
against a Martial Artist?!
**[07:30] ---**
You'll regret that!
**[07:39] ---**
Hmph! I'll let you off the hook
with that for today.
**[07:42] ---**
Oh boy...
**[07:45] ---**
We've made a weird friend today.
**[07:49] ---**
It's Miss Maam's turn!
**[07:55] ---**
Miss Maam! Do your best for me!
**[08:00] ---**
*Let the fight begin!*
**[08:07] ---**
-Good going, Maam!
-Miss Maam!
**[08:09] ---**
Wow.
**[08:28] ---**
*The Romos Martial Arts Tournament
has found its best eight fighters!*
**[08:34] ---**
*Let us introduce the eight fighters
who are the pride of this country!*
**[08:39] ---**
*First is the top contender to win!*
**[08:43] ---**
*The Warrior of unmatched strength, Larba!*
**[08:45] ---**
-Larba!
-Win!
**[08:47] ---**
*Next is the Omni-whip master, Stangul!*
**[08:51] ---**
Sir Stangul!
**[08:53] ---**
*The mighty spell-wielding Mage, Fobster!*
**[08:57] ---**
Amazing!
**[08:59] ---**
*The hunter who never misses, Hilto!*
**[09:03] ---**
*They're all equally matched
mighty warriors!*
**[09:06] ---**
*Next, with both power
and wrestling technique,*
**[09:11] ---**
*it's Wrestler Gomez!*
**[09:13] ---**
Right!
**[09:15] ---**
*The Knight with
the gale wind sword, Baloria!*
**[09:19] ---**
*Is he strong or is he weak?!*
**[09:22] ---**
*The mysterious figure, Mr. Ghost!*
**[09:26] ---**
*And the only female contestant,
the Martial Artist Maam!*
**[09:32] ---**
So cute!
**[09:33] ---**
Good luck!
**[09:35] ---**
Good luck!
**[09:37] ---**
She's pretty popular.
**[09:39] ---**
*These eight will compete in the finals!*
**[09:43] ---**
*Just who will win?!*
**[09:46] ---**
*Just who will claim
the Sword of Champions?!*
**[09:53] ---**
So that's the Sword of Champions!
**[09:55] ---**
That one?!
**[09:56] ---**
Wow. I'll be winning that.
**[09:59] ---**
You can't even use it. I'll be winning it.
**[10:03] ---**
Don't bet on it. I can just sell it.
**[10:05] ---**
It'll be worth an unbelievable amount.
**[10:08] ---**
*I won't let anyone have it!
That sword is for Dai!*
**[10:12] ---**
*It's going to be used for good!*
**[10:17] ---**
So Maam entered the tournament.
This will be interesting.
**[10:23] ---**
Hm?
**[10:24] ---**
Where's Mister Zamza?
**[10:25] ---**
Right there!
**[10:29] ---**
*And now, the host
of this tournament, Mister Zamza,*
**[10:32] ---**
*will explain the rules of the finals!*
**[10:42] ---**
Huh. So this Martial Arts Tournament
wasn't the king's idea.
**[10:47] ---**
I wonder who he is.
**[10:49] ---**
All of you have fought well.
**[10:52] ---**
With such members,
I am immensely satisfied.
**[10:57] ---**
It was worth suggesting this tournament
to the king and hosting it.
**[11:03] ---**
Such a wonderful gathering
of promising samples!
**[11:08] ---**
You eight shall be the base
for the future Dark Army!
**[11:16] ---**
What kind of joke is this?!
**[11:17] ---**
Playtime is over!
**[11:21] ---**
W-What?!
**[11:37] ---**
Mister Zamza,
what is the meaning of this?!
**[11:39] ---**
Thank you for your help, King Romos.
**[11:42] ---**
This will help our Dark Army greatly.
**[11:46] ---**
Who are you?!
**[11:53] ---**
The Dark Army's Mystic Legion Commander
Zaboera's son...
**[11:57] ---**
the Mystic Scholar Zamza!
**[12:03] ---**
AVAN STRASH
**[12:08] ---**
DARK INCENSE
**[12:12] ---**
The Dark Army's Mystic Legion Commander
Zaboera's son...
**[12:16] ---**
the Mystic Scholar Zamza!
**[12:20] ---**
A-A Darkling?!
**[12:27] ---**
The Mystic Scholar Zamza?!
**[12:29] ---**
Zaboera's son?!
**[12:33] ---**
We've been captured by the Dark Army?!
**[12:35] ---**
What?!
**[12:37] ---**
For our Mystic Legion's
Superior Being Studies experiments,
**[12:42] ---**
we require humans with strong bodies.
**[12:47] ---**
So I used you to hold
this Martial Arts Tournament!
**[12:51] ---**
Plus, I can remove humans who can
resist the Dark Army from Romos!
**[12:56] ---**
Truly killing two birds with one stone!
**[12:59] ---**
Curse you! How dare you deceive me?!
**[13:02] ---**
It's too late! These eight are mine!
**[13:06] ---**
And if I can take your life, King Romos,
then that's even better!
**[13:13] ---**
Die!
**[13:21] ---**
Huh?!
**[13:24] ---**
Dai! Popp!
**[13:26] ---**
We won't let the Dark Army
get away with this!
**[13:29] ---**
Did he say "Dai"?!
**[13:30] ---**
Popp, protect His Majesty!
**[13:32] ---**
Right! I got this!
**[13:34] ---**
I'm your opponent!
**[13:36] ---**
*Dai, the Hero...*
**[13:38] ---**
*It could be that my two birds
have become three.*
**[13:44] ---**
*It's the Dark Army! Everybody run!*
**[13:49] ---**
Dammit! Are you kidding me?!
**[13:51] ---**
I'm not letting the Dark Army capture me!
**[14:00] ---**
It won't cut?!
**[14:02] ---**
Magic doesn't work either!
**[14:04] ---**
This isn't a normal cage!
**[14:11] ---**
This cage is alive.
**[14:13] ---**
What?! It's a creature?!
**[14:16] ---**
Miss Maam!
**[14:19] ---**
Dammit! Come on!
**[14:23] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[14:28] ---**
Get your filthy hands off my Bioprison!
**[14:32] ---**
You gutter rat!
**[14:34] ---**
I'm not a gutter rat! I'm a Karate...!
**[14:38] ---**
You won't even make
a good guinea pig! Begone!
**[14:42] ---**
Stop!
**[14:44] ---**
You little whelp!
**[14:53] ---**
*So this...*
**[14:54] ---**
*So this is the power of a Dragon Knight?!*
**[14:57] ---**
Chiu, Gomechan, go to Popp!
**[15:00] ---**
What?! Why do I have to...?!
**[15:02] ---**
Ow, ow, ow! I get it! I get it!
**[15:06] ---**
Let Maam and the others go!
If you don't, you'll regret it!
**[15:20] ---**
Amazing! Magnificent!
**[15:22] ---**
So this is the power of a real...
A real Dragon Knight!
**[15:29] ---**
What's so funny?!
**[15:31] ---**
It's not funny, it's joyous!
**[15:34] ---**
Your appearance surprised me at first,
**[15:37] ---**
but to see a real Dragon Knight is the
most blessed surprise I could hope for!
**[15:42] ---**
The purpose of our research is to reach
a Dragon Knight's power after all!
**[15:48] ---**
A Dragon Knight's...?!
**[15:54] ---**
The Mystic Legion leads
other Legions in Magic Power,
**[15:57] ---**
but we lack strength and vitality!
**[15:59] ---**
So I've been researching in secret on my
father Zaboera's idea to make up for that!
**[16:06] ---**
That's the Superior Being Studies!
**[16:11] ---**
Superior Being Studies?!
**[16:13] ---**
A Superior Being, in other words,
one that transcends Darklings!
**[16:18] ---**
*By surgically transplanting
the strengths of various monsters,*
**[16:22] ---**
*we've come up with the idea
to artificially create Superior Beings!*
**[16:28] ---**
And when your father Baran took
his Dragonoid form, we were convinced!
**[16:35] ---**
This is it! This is the goal of
our Superior Being Studies!
**[16:41] ---**
A being that could only be called
the ultimate bioweapon made by the gods!
**[16:47] ---**
A weapon?!
**[16:54] ---**
For that, we require test subjects.
**[16:57] ---**
That what they are.
**[17:00] ---**
We can't sacrifice our Darkling servants
for every experiment.
**[17:06] ---**
Strong humans make the perfect
disposable guinea pigs!
**[17:12] ---**
I won't let you do that!
**[17:15] ---**
Then you'll have to get angry and fight!
**[17:18] ---**
I want to see it!
The full power that you possess!
**[17:23] ---**
You can't resist a fight. You're like
a moth to a flame! The perfect sample!
**[17:30] ---**
A sample for making
a monster like your father!
**[17:35] ---**
Sh-Shut up!
**[17:46] ---**
Wow! No wonder he's called the Hero!
**[18:11] ---**
What power! Dai has grown so strong!
**[18:15] ---**
He's truly a Hero! His victory is assured!
**[18:18] ---**
*Don't lose your head
and waste all your energy, Dai!*
**[18:21] ---**
*He's hiding something!*
**[18:24] ---**
*I can win! If this is his best,
my Superior Being...*
**[18:44] ---**
Mighty Hero, now's your chance!
**[18:46] ---**
Finish him off!
**[18:48] ---**
Something's wrong!
**[18:50] ---**
At full strength,
Dai's Dragon power can shatter mountains.
**[18:53] ---**
It's destructive enough
to split the earth!
**[18:57] ---**
Sure, Darklings
are more powerful than humans,
**[19:00] ---**
but there's no way they can take that!
**[19:03] ---**
And yet, while he's getting wounded,
he doesn't seem close to falling!
**[19:08] ---**
I think Dai's noticed that, too!
**[19:15] ---**
What's wrong? Is seeing
your first real fight freaking you out?
**[19:19] ---**
Don't be stupid! I'm not freaking out!
**[19:22] ---**
I don't know why, but seeing that guy
makes my tail tremble for some reason!
**[19:30] ---**
You must be wondering why you can't
shatter the body of a mere Darkling!
**[19:36] ---**
Care to guess why?
**[19:40] ---**
*I'll finish him in one shot...*
**[19:42] ---**
*with that attack!*
**[19:50] ---**
Crest Beam!
**[19:54] ---**
Nice! That's a Dragon Knight's
killer move!
**[20:10] ---**
It appears with a Superior Being's powers,
a Dragon Knight can be defeated!
**[20:16] ---**
Are you saying he's already...?!
**[20:18] ---**
Correct! Superior Beings
are already 90% complete!
**[20:24] ---**
Since I used my own body as the base!
**[20:28] ---**
You've shown me
the power of a Dragon Knight!
**[20:32] ---**
Now it's your turn to see!
**[20:35] ---**
With the strengths of over
a hundred monsters combined...
**[20:44] ---**
the power of the ultimate Superior Being!
**[21:10] ---**
This is a Superior Being?!
**[21:17] ---**
Something strange is going on outside.
**[21:21] ---**
Dai!
**[21:25] ---**
*No wonder Chiu's instinctively terrified.*
**[21:29] ---**
*That thing really is
the sum of all monsters!*
**[21:34] ---**
Come on, Dai!
**[21:38] ---**
I've chosen you
**[21:39] ---**
to have the honor of being
the Superior Being Zamza's first opponent!
**[21:47] ---**
You should be grateful!
**[22:04] ---**
*Even if you face the devil
With logic on your side*
**[22:04] ---**
*tatoe akuma ni seiron kazashite
mukatte mitemo*
**[22:07] ---**
*It may just be a rationalization*
**[22:07] ---**
*sore wa akumade seitouka
sashite chigai wa naikamo*
**[22:11] ---**
*Even now, even now I waver*
**[22:11] ---**
*ima mo ima mo yureteiru kedo*
**[22:15] ---**
*How far will we go?*
**[22:15] ---**
*bokura wa dokomade yukuno*
**[22:19] ---**
*I heard a voice like an angel's whisper*
**[22:19] ---**
*tenshi no sasayaki nimo nita
koe ga kikoeta*
**[22:22] ---**
*Maybe it was an imposter's illusion
It still rang in my ears*
**[22:22] ---**
*hatamata petenshi no mayakashi
hitokiwa mimi ni hibiiteita*
**[22:26] ---**
*ai ni hiai ni sarasare nagara*
**[22:26] ---**
*Exposed to love and sorrow*
**[22:30] ---**
*hokori mamire michi no tochu*
**[22:30] ---**
*On the path strewn with pride*
**[22:36] ---**
*kiete wa ukabu touhikou*
**[22:36] ---**
*Fleeting moments of cowardice*
**[22:40] ---**
*nomikonda SOS*
**[22:40] ---**
*The SOS I held back*
**[22:44] ---**
*furueru te wo nigirishimeta*
**[22:44] ---**
*I clenched my trembling fist*
**[22:48] ---**
*tatta hitotsu no chiisana yakusoku ga*
**[22:48] ---**
*That single little promise*
**[22:53] ---**
*honno sasaina omoidetachi ga*
**[22:53] ---**
*Those trivial little memories*
**[22:57] ---**
*itsumade tattemo kono mune wo*
**[22:57] ---**
*They're still in my heart*
**[22:59] ---**
*kogashi tsuzukeru tomoshibi ni naru*
**[22:59] ---**
*As embers that keep me burning*
**[23:04] ---**
*tada hitosuji no toumei na hikari ga*
**[23:04] ---**
*A single transparent beam of light*
**[23:08] ---**
*me no mae wo terashite yuku*
**[23:08] ---**
*Lights the way before me*
**[23:11] ---**
*boku ni dekiru koto wa ikutsu mo naisa*
**[23:11] ---**
*There is little that I can do*
**[23:16] ---**
*shinjinuita saki ni te ni shita mirai wo
susunde yuke*
**[23:16] ---**
*Just keep on to the future
I managed to grasp through my faith*
**[23:33] ---**
*As Zamza becomes a Superior Being, Dai
fights with the full power of his crest.*
**[23:39] ---**
*But his stamina depletes too quickly.*
**[23:43] ---**
*Popp fights as well, but against a being
that surpasses even a Dragon Knight,*
**[23:47] ---**
*there's nothing he can do.*
**[23:48] ---**
*With Dai and friends in peril,
Maam's senior pupil, Chiu, stands up.*
**[23:53] ---**

THE SUPERIOR BEING VERSUS CHIU
**[01:53] ---**
Now it's your turn to see!
**[01:56] ---**
With the strengths of over
a hundred monsters combined...
**[02:05] ---**
the power of the ultimate Superior Being!
**[02:31] ---**
This is a Superior Being?!
**[02:39] ---**
Come on, Dai!
**[02:44] ---**
I've chosen you
**[02:45] ---**
to have the honor of being
the Superior Being Zamza's first opponent!
**[02:52] ---**
You should be grateful!
**[03:00] ---**
No way!
**[03:06] ---**
He's fast!
How is something that big so fast?!
**[03:17] ---**
Oh? Impressive.
**[03:19] ---**
Not bad at all.
**[03:21] ---**
*He's way stronger than before!
At this rate...*
**[03:30] ---**
*Oh no!*
**[03:35] ---**
This is bad! Dai pushed himself too much
and exceeded his time limit!
**[03:41] ---**
What do you mean?!
**[03:42] ---**
The power of his crest
doesn't last that long!
**[03:46] ---**
What?!
**[03:52] ---**
I'm going to eat you whole!
**[03:59] ---**
A mouth on his stomach?!
**[04:01] ---**
He really is a monster!
**[04:04] ---**
Dai!
**[04:06] ---**
Now you will nourish me, Dragon Knight!
**[04:31] ---**
Dai!
**[04:38] ---**
It's no good. My strength...
**[04:42] ---**
Dai!
**[04:45] ---**
Such foolish resistance!
**[04:47] ---**
But it looks like you're finally spent.
**[05:02] ---**
Sizz!
**[05:06] ---**
To repeatedly cast
such concentrated Sizz spells...
**[05:10] ---**
Now!
**[05:12] ---**
Kafrizz!
**[05:18] ---**
Now! Get Dai...
**[05:23] ---**
*Who can blame him? Zamza's made from
the strongest parts of many monsters.*
**[05:28] ---**
*He instinctively knows
he doesn't stand a chance!*
**[05:33] ---**
You guys, look after the king!
**[05:35] ---**
Right!
**[05:39] ---**
*Why won't my tail stop shaking?!*
**[05:44] ---**
Hang in there, Dai!
**[05:52] ---**
You're a stronger Mage than you look!
**[05:56] ---**
Not many can cast
Sizz or Kafrizz at this level!
**[06:00] ---**
You'll make a good guinea pig!
**[06:03] ---**
How?! I thought Dai destroyed that claw!
**[06:11] ---**
The wounds from my spells
are already healing!
**[06:14] ---**
I told you!
A Superior Being is the ultimate beast!
**[06:19] ---**
It possesses a body that can heal
any wound during battle!
**[06:26] ---**
This body is already 90% complete!
**[06:30] ---**
All that remains is the issue that
I can't cast spells after transforming.
**[06:39] ---**
But I can complete my research
after I defeat the Hero's party!
**[06:45] ---**
Stop!
**[06:53] ---**
*He fired a focused blast of Aura!*
**[06:56] ---**
*It's like Crocodine's
Beast King Redemption Blast!*
**[07:07] ---**
You'd do well to remember.
**[07:09] ---**
Interrupting a wild beast's meal
incurs its wrath!
**[07:21] ---**
Stop!
**[07:26] ---**
Stop!
**[07:32] ---**
Dai?!
**[07:34] ---**
He got Dai?!
**[07:36] ---**
Then you should hurry.
**[07:42] ---**
A good meal.
**[07:45] ---**
This can't be! It's a nightmare!
**[07:47] ---**
The Hero was swallowed whole!
**[07:50] ---**
Dai!
**[07:54] ---**
That demon! I've had enough!
**[07:58] ---**
I'll defeat it!
**[08:04] ---**
I swallowed him alive,
**[08:06] ---**
but the powerful digestive fluids
in my body should quickly dissolve him.
**[08:12] ---**
Dammit!
**[08:17] ---**
Don't bother resisting!
**[08:20] ---**
Wouldn't you rather live a little longer
as a guinea pig than die here?
**[08:27] ---**
Don't be stupid!
**[08:29] ---**
I won't accept either!
**[08:31] ---**
Oh?
**[08:33] ---**
If memory serves...
**[08:36] ---**
the Mage, Fobster, is in there.
**[08:41] ---**
So be it.
I have enough guinea pigs.
**[08:45] ---**
You can sacrifice your life like Dai did!
**[08:50] ---**
Hold it!
**[08:55] ---**
Monster of the Dark Army!
**[08:58] ---**
Huh?!
**[09:00] ---**
Your evil ends here!
**[09:03] ---**
The rat. You're still here?
**[09:05] ---**
Listen! I'll give you
one chance to apologize!
**[09:08] ---**
If you don't want me to hurt you,
you'll surrender and free everybody!
**[09:13] ---**
That idiot! He can't
seriously think that's realistic!
**[09:22] ---**
Have you lost your mind, insect?!
**[09:24] ---**
Didn't you just see me defeat Dai?!
**[09:31] ---**
*Settle down, tail!*
**[09:33] ---**
*Otherwise, I'll bite you off!*
**[09:38] ---**
I'll rescue Dai, the Hero!
**[09:43] ---**
Here goes!
**[09:45] ---**
You idiot! Don't!
**[09:52] ---**
What did I tell you?!
**[09:54] ---**
Even a normal human doesn't
have the reach to hit him!
**[09:57] ---**
You can't fight something that big!
**[10:02] ---**
Ow, ow, ow.
**[10:05] ---**
Dammit!
**[10:07] ---**
Again!
**[10:12] ---**
Run! Get out of here, Chiu!
**[10:15] ---**
Chiu!
**[10:18] ---**
Popp?! And Chiu, too?!
**[10:26] ---**
It's no use. Give it up.
**[10:29] ---**
Even my might couldn't do anything.
**[10:32] ---**
What can your frail arms do?
**[10:34] ---**
But...
**[10:35] ---**
It's not just with strength.
**[10:37] ---**
Even my sword was useless.
**[10:39] ---**
My whip didn't work either.
**[10:42] ---**
Spells are useless.
**[10:44] ---**
It appears that it absorbs all attacks.
**[10:49] ---**
So we can't escape?
**[10:52] ---**
There's nothing we can do.
**[10:53] ---**
What's with you?!
**[10:55] ---**
All you big men
and you're already giving up?!
**[10:59] ---**
I'm not giving up!
**[11:01] ---**
My friends...!
**[11:02] ---**
I can't just do nothing
while my friends are being hurt!
**[11:09] ---**
That won't work.
**[11:12] ---**
You're the only one
who can escape this peril.
**[11:15] ---**
If you utilize the power you've gained
through your training, you can break free.
**[11:22] ---**
You...
**[11:23] ---**
Are you...?!
**[11:26] ---**
What's this?!
**[11:28] ---**
My body feels numb!
**[11:50] ---**
Curse you! You annoying gnat!
**[11:56] ---**
Again!
**[11:59] ---**
*Could I do that?*
**[12:02] ---**
*Could the old me?*
**[12:04] ---**
*Could I face an enemy
I couldn't beat as a fledgling?*
**[12:11] ---**
*I couldn't. There's no way I could!*
**[12:15] ---**
*You've earned some of my respect, Ratty.*
**[12:25] ---**
*He's breathing?*
**[12:27] ---**
*That's it! He must also breathe
through the mouth on his stomach!*
**[12:31] ---**
*In that case...!*
**[12:37] ---**
Dammit! You're the last person I wanted
to see me like this!
**[12:43] ---**
Oh really? It's impressive enough
that you stood up to him without running.
**[12:47] ---**
Hmph! How rude!
**[12:49] ---**
Only the worst kind of trash
would abandon their friends!
**[12:56] ---**
*Don't remind me.*
**[12:59] ---**
Hey, Ratty.
I've got a plan to rescue Dai.
**[13:03] ---**
Wanna help me out?
**[13:06] ---**
Can you really do that?!
**[13:08] ---**
Yeah!
**[13:09] ---**
Listen. The mouth on his stomach
is going to open.
**[13:12] ---**
When it does, use your strength
to hit him in the stomach!
**[13:15] ---**
The shock should push Dai out!
**[13:17] ---**
The mouth is going to open? How?!
**[13:24] ---**
I don't have time to keep playing!
I'll crush you in one blow!
**[13:30] ---**
*He'll just heal from any ordinary spell.*
**[13:33] ---**
*It looks bad using an enemy's attack,
but it's my only option!*
**[13:38] ---**
Five Finger Flares!
**[13:50] ---**
CRACKLE
ICE-TYPE SPELL
**[13:55] ---**
DARK INCENSE
**[14:00] ---**
Five Finger Flares!
**[14:04] ---**
What?!
**[14:11] ---**
I did it!
**[14:14] ---**
It worked!
Blizzblaze General Flazzard's attack!
**[14:19] ---**
I figured, at my level,
I might be able to pull it off!
**[14:24] ---**
Oh wow!
You fired three Kafrizz spells at once!
**[14:28] ---**
It's supposed to be five.
**[14:31] ---**
With all my Magic Power,
it looks like that's my limit.
**[14:35] ---**
But it should be enough!
**[14:40] ---**
Those flames won't go out easily.
**[14:44] ---**
Even if his hide can withstand it,
the air around his face should burn!
**[14:49] ---**
It should suffocate him!
**[14:53] ---**
The pain! I can't breathe!
**[14:56] ---**
If he can't breathe,
**[14:58] ---**
he'll have to open
his other mouth for air!
**[15:03] ---**
In other words,
the mouth that Dai is trapped in!
**[15:09] ---**
This isn't good! I can't take it!
**[15:17] ---**
Now, Chiu! Get him right in the stomach!
**[15:22] ---**
Right! I've got this!
**[15:25] ---**
*Or so I say, but what should I do?*
**[15:28] ---**
*You can always fight
with headbutts and ramming attacks.*
**[15:32] ---**
*That's it!*
**[15:34] ---**
*Who cares if it looks cool or not!*
**[15:44] ---**
Here goes!
**[16:02] ---**
There! It's Dai!
**[16:06] ---**
He's still alive!
**[16:07] ---**
That attack was actually pretty cool!
**[16:10] ---**
A name! A killer attack requires a name!
**[16:16] ---**
I know! Rattus Rocket Ram!
**[16:20] ---**
You idiot! Pay more attention!
**[16:23] ---**
You could've saved Dai with one more hit!
**[16:27] ---**
I've had it with you!
**[16:30] ---**
You'll pay for that, you pieces of trash!
**[16:34] ---**
I'll slaughter you!
**[16:38] ---**
*It didn't work!*
**[16:42] ---**
It's no good! I can't move!
**[16:45] ---**
So it ends here!
**[16:47] ---**
What?!
**[16:52] ---**
Impossible!
How is she fine in this paralysis gas?!
**[16:57] ---**
Why is she the only one?!
**[16:58] ---**
It's her Magic Power.
**[17:02] ---**
See that white light
surrounding her?
**[17:07] ---**
That's faint healing Magic Power
that she's spread all over her body.
**[17:13] ---**
Is that even possible?!
**[17:15] ---**
*This prison is immune to all attacks.*
**[17:19] ---**
*But it's still a living creature!*
**[17:26] ---**
*Grand Master. I shall now use
the Warrior Master Style Secret Attack!*
**[17:33] ---**
What?! What is she going to do?!
**[17:43] ---**
She's going to punch it?!
**[17:45] ---**
*It's useless! It can't work!*
**[17:47] ---**
*After all we did, nothing worked!*
**[17:52] ---**
*What can a little girl do?*
**[18:13] ---**
Die like the trash you are!
**[18:16] ---**
Crushed like filth!
**[18:19] ---**
Don't!
**[18:24] ---**
*Miss Maam!*
**[18:37] ---**
What's that?!
**[18:47] ---**
Impossible! My Bioprison!
**[19:00] ---**
I'm going to free everyone!
**[19:02] ---**
Maam!
**[19:04] ---**
Miss Maam!
**[19:05] ---**
You're going to free everyone?
**[19:10] ---**
Don't make me laugh!
**[19:23] ---**
Miss Maam...
**[19:24] ---**
Midheal.
**[19:25] ---**
Wow! Not bad for a former Warrior Priest!
**[19:30] ---**
Chiu, go help Popp!
**[19:32] ---**
What? Him of all people?
**[19:35] ---**
While I'm fighting this guy.
**[19:40] ---**
Hurry!
**[19:41] ---**
Right!
**[19:43] ---**
This small wound...
**[19:45] ---**
I can heal a wound like this in no time!
**[19:52] ---**
We must rescue them!
**[19:54] ---**
Don't worry about me!
**[19:56] ---**
Go help those people!
**[19:59] ---**
Hurry!
**[20:00] ---**
Yes, Majesty!
**[20:01] ---**
You little brat! You'll pay for that!
**[20:05] ---**
Forget being a guinea pig!
I'll dispose of you here!
**[20:08] ---**
I'm going to tear you to shreds!
**[20:12] ---**
Into shreds!
**[20:13] ---**
Of all the enemies I've ever fought,
you're the worst one.
**[20:18] ---**
To take human lives
granted by the gods...
**[20:20] ---**
The lives of monsters...
**[20:22] ---**
And to toy with them!
**[20:25] ---**
That is unforgivable!
**[20:28] ---**
Silence! This is a glorious experiment!
**[20:32] ---**
A triumphant step
for Darklings in reaching godhood!
**[20:36] ---**
I don't care if humans
or monsters live or die!
**[20:43] ---**
Then it's time you learned...
**[20:46] ---**
the pain of life!
**[20:52] ---**
Don't make me laugh!
**[20:53] ---**
What can a puny creature like you do?!
**[20:58] ---**
I, Zamza, stand at the apex
of all creatures!
**[21:02] ---**
I have an immortal body!
**[21:08] ---**
What?!
**[21:11] ---**
Impossible! I'm not regenerating!
**[21:14] ---**
How?!
**[21:16] ---**
There it is! Miss Maam's ultimate attack!
**[21:19] ---**
Her ultimate attack?
**[21:20] ---**
The greatest Warrior Master Style Secret
Attack she learned from our Grand Master!
**[21:25] ---**
The Refractor Fist!
**[21:27] ---**
The Refractor Fist?!
**[21:32] ---**
Is this the power you used
to breach my Bioprison?!
**[21:37] ---**
This is impossible! I am a Superior Being!
**[21:47] ---**
A Superior Being is invincible!
**[22:04] ---**

the Superior Being can be damaged at last.*
**[23:40] ---**

in how he and Maam fight.*

ALL IN AN INSTANT
**[01:50] ---**
A Superior Being is invincible!
**[01:55] ---**
Maam, hit him in the stomach!
**[01:57] ---**
That should force him to spit out Dai!
**[02:04] ---**
Oh no you don't!
**[02:06] ---**
That kick was a feint!
**[02:07] ---**
Warrior Master Style Refractor Fist!
**[02:25] ---**
Yes! She knocked Dai free!
**[02:43] ---**
Dai! Thank goodness he's alive!
**[02:45] ---**
It must be thanks to the new clothes.
**[02:48] ---**
Maam, it looks like Dai's okay!
**[02:52] ---**
Chiu, use one of your items to heal Dai!
**[02:56] ---**
Okay! Leave it to me!
**[03:07] ---**
Th-This is...!
**[03:09] ---**
My immortal body...!
**[03:11] ---**
How?! How?!
**[03:28] ---**
That girl's incredible.
**[03:33] ---**
Maam's unbelievably strong!
**[03:36] ---**
And that special attack is amazing!
**[03:43] ---**
Impressed?
**[03:45] ---**
That's the essence of Grand Master
Brokeena's Warrior Master Style,
**[03:49] ---**
and Miss Maam's greatest attack,
the Refractor Fist!
**[03:53] ---**
That's right. The Refractor Fist!
**[03:58] ---**
Maam, your progress
has been beyond impressive.
**[04:03] ---**
You've mastered in days what would take
normal Martial Artists years to complete.
**[04:09] ---**
All that remains is to teach you my
Warrior Master Style's greatest skill.
**[04:14] ---**
But I am ill and feeble.
**[04:17] ---**
It pains me that I can't show you myself.
**[04:23] ---**
Am I a disappointment?
**[04:25] ---**
N-No, of course not.
**[04:28] ---**
Um, Grand Master? What is your illness?
**[04:36] ---**
Tinglebuttitis.
**[04:39] ---**
Huh?!
**[04:41] ---**
*Why does Tingle-butt-itis
make you cough?*
**[04:48] ---**
But I know you can master it, Maam.
Don't worry.
**[04:55] ---**
What sort of skill is it, Grand Master?
**[04:59] ---**
It's a combination of a certain spell
with the Warrior Master Style.
**[05:03] ---**
But Grand Master...
**[05:07] ---**
I used to be a Warrior Priest.
I can't use attack spells.
**[05:12] ---**
Attack spells aren't the only way
to defeat an enemy.
**[05:17] ---**
Huh?
**[05:18] ---**
That spell is...
**[05:21] ---**
Heal.
**[05:22] ---**
Heal?!
**[05:31] ---**
Hup!
**[05:32] ---**
Heal is a spell that magically
boosts a body's biofunctions.
**[05:38] ---**
*But, just as plants wither
when given too much nourishment,*
**[05:43] ---**
*excessive healing magic
can destroy a body's tissue.*
**[05:49] ---**
Long ago, such excessive healing magic
was feared and known as "Overheal."
**[05:56] ---**
Overheal...
**[05:58] ---**
Only the most powerful Priests and Sages
**[06:01] ---**
could wield Overheal
as a trump card against monsters.
**[06:06] ---**
But, in time, users of the spell
all disappeared.
**[06:10] ---**
The amount of Magic Power Overheal uses
is magnitudes above a Midheal spell.
**[06:15] ---**
However, by using healing spells
with the Warrior Master Style Fighting,
**[06:20] ---**
I developed the technique to generate
devastating force at the moment of impact.
**[06:26] ---**
*When used, it creates
an overwhelming anti-creature effect*
**[06:31] ---**
*applying a fatal shock to an enemy's body.*
**[06:35] ---**
Fatal to an enemy's body?!
**[06:39] ---**
A truly terrifying skill.
**[06:41] ---**
Yes. It's a terrifying skill.
**[06:44] ---**
Only those who can understand
just how terrifying it is can be taught.
**[06:49] ---**
I've been called a Grand Master
for decades now.
**[06:53] ---**
But you, Maam, are the first
I've ever thought worthy to teach.
**[07:02] ---**
Grand Master...
**[07:03] ---**
Just as your first Master, Avan, trusted
you and gave you the Magic Bullet Gun,
**[07:10] ---**
I, too, trust your kind and just heart.
**[07:15] ---**
That's why I will teach it to you, Maam.
**[07:22] ---**
Thank you, Grand Master!
**[07:24] ---**
Wow!
**[07:25] ---**
Aren't I cool?
**[07:27] ---**
Oh boy...
**[07:58] ---**
Oh wow.
**[08:00] ---**
That's Miss Maam for you!
**[08:03] ---**
Dai, you're awake!
**[08:05] ---**
Was I rescued?
**[08:07] ---**
Yeah! Thanks to Maam!
**[08:09] ---**
Be grateful!
**[08:28] ---**
It's amazing.
I didn't know you could fight like that.
**[08:32] ---**
Dai!
**[08:33] ---**
Hey! Aren't you supposed
to have some item?!
**[08:38] ---**
If so, hurry and heal Dai!
**[08:41] ---**
Oh, right!
**[08:45] ---**
I'll give you a medicinal herb,
so be grateful.
**[08:49] ---**
Here!
**[08:50] ---**
That's an antidotal herb.
**[08:54] ---**
Here!
**[08:55] ---**
That's a poison herb!
**[08:59] ---**
What the heck?! They're gone!
**[09:00] ---**
I always carry around
five medicinal herbs!
**[09:05] ---**
That's right!
**[09:06] ---**
*I used them all when I was attacked by
Teeny Sangiuni in the mountains!*
**[09:12] ---**
Who uses five whole medicinal herbs
against such squibs?!
**[09:20] ---**
It's over!
**[09:32] ---**
*Oh no!*
**[09:34] ---**
Good! It looks like
my brain's still sharp!
**[09:40] ---**
You have two types of attacks!
**[09:43] ---**
Attacks where your hands glow,
and where they don't!
**[09:47] ---**
In other words, that attack can't be used
with your whole body.
**[09:51] ---**
I deduced it can only be done with your
hands, and only at the moment of impact!
**[09:57] ---**
Give it up!
That's a special coating mucus!
**[10:00] ---**
It won't come off easily!
**[10:02] ---**
It's time to give up!
**[10:06] ---**
Oh no!
**[10:07] ---**
If she can't use her glowing fists...!
**[10:12] ---**
What can we do?!
**[10:17] ---**
Don't you have anything?!
**[10:19] ---**
For me or Dai!
Something to heal our stamina!
**[10:25] ---**
Oh! This is...
**[10:26] ---**
A Teardrop Acorn!
**[10:28] ---**
What's that?! Is it useful?!
**[10:29] ---**
As the name implies, it'll cure
a sparrow's teardrop worth of stamina!
**[10:35] ---**
That's useless!
**[10:37] ---**
No. It's enough! That's all I need!
**[10:42] ---**
Give it up!
**[10:43] ---**
Without that attack, you have nothing
that can hurt my immortal body!
**[10:48] ---**
Die, little girl!
**[10:51] ---**
Maam!
**[10:53] ---**
Please, Chiu, take me
and that acorn up there!
**[11:00] ---**
Hurry!
**[11:05] ---**
REFRACTOR FIST
**[11:10] ---**
DARK INCENSE
**[11:12] ---**
Die, little girl!
**[11:25] ---**
Maam!
**[11:47] ---**
Run! Get out of there, Maam!
**[11:50] ---**
*Dai, if you're planning something, hurry!*
**[11:58] ---**
You're a lot heavier than you look.
**[12:01] ---**
Sorry.
**[12:02] ---**
But I can't spare the stamina
to climb up there.
**[12:08] ---**
I need to release it
all at once at the very end!
**[12:11] ---**
Huh?
**[12:12] ---**
Watching Maam fight,
**[12:16] ---**
I realized just how wasteful I've been
while using the power of my crest.
**[12:21] ---**
*I've been fighting
with my power at full throttle.*
**[12:26] ---**
*That's why I always use up
all my energy in no time.*
**[12:31] ---**
Like Maam's glowing fists,
**[12:33] ---**
I should focus and release
all my energy at the moment of impact!
**[12:40] ---**
*Even if it's just a little bit of power,*
**[12:43] ---**
*if I use it all at the last moment...*
**[12:47] ---**
I can beat him!
**[13:00] ---**
You've caused me quite a bit of trouble.
**[13:07] ---**
I'm curious about
that strange attack you used,
**[13:10] ---**
but threats like you
should be eliminated on the spot!
**[13:21] ---**
*Dai?!*
**[13:21] ---**
*He's going to the Sword of Champions!*
**[13:24] ---**
*I see! Dai's planning to do something!*
**[13:30] ---**
*I have to do everything I can
to distract this thing!*
**[13:36] ---**
How typical of you guinea pigs.
**[13:38] ---**
You desperately resist,
even when you know you're going to die.
**[13:42] ---**
You're nothing more than trash!
**[13:46] ---**
No life is trash!
No matter what creature it is!
**[13:52] ---**
If you can't see that,
then you're the real trash!
**[13:58] ---**
Listen to me, Zamza, you are a tool.
**[14:02] ---**
Not just you. Every creature
in this world is a tool for me.
**[14:07] ---**
Gain power and knowledge.
Use it for my benefit.
**[14:12] ---**
Father...
**[14:13] ---**
Otherwise, you're nothing but trash!
**[14:17] ---**
Isn't that right?
**[14:19] ---**
A useless tool
is nothing but trash, isn't it?
**[14:33] ---**
I'm...
**[14:34] ---**
I'm not trash!
**[14:37] ---**
My power and mind are the greatest!
**[14:40] ---**
I could be the Legion Commander of
the Mystic or Furfang Legion if I wanted!
**[14:45] ---**
How dare you mock me?!
**[14:51] ---**
Maam!
**[14:53] ---**
Miss Maam!
**[14:55] ---**
Chiu! Give me that acorn!
**[14:58] ---**
Right!
**[15:06] ---**
Did it work?
**[15:09] ---**
Yeah. It's only a little,
but I feel my strength returning!
**[15:18] ---**
Sword of Champions, lend me your power!
**[15:25] ---**
What?!
**[15:25] ---**
That brat! When did he reach the sword?!
**[15:29] ---**
A Frizz spell!
**[15:30] ---**
Where did you come from?!
**[15:33] ---**
Just cast a Frizz spell!
**[15:34] ---**
Sure I've got enough Magic Power
for a Frizz spell,
**[15:38] ---**
but that won't help!
**[15:39] ---**
Fire it at Maam.
**[15:41] ---**
Huh?!
**[15:41] ---**
Hurry.
**[15:48] ---**
Okay!
**[15:50] ---**
Maam!
**[15:52] ---**
Frizz!
**[15:55] ---**
Use it on the mucus!
**[15:58] ---**
No!
**[15:59] ---**
Refractor Fist!
**[16:08] ---**
Now!
**[16:09] ---**
All I have into this instant!
**[16:13] ---**
Avan...
**[16:15] ---**
Strash!
**[16:37] ---**
How's that?!
**[16:41] ---**
Did it work?!
**[16:57] ---**
We won!
**[17:00] ---**
What?!
**[17:02] ---**
Impossible!
I'm the ultimate Superior Being!
**[17:07] ---**
How can these pieces of trash...?!
**[17:21] ---**
Hooray!
**[17:22] ---**
They did it!
**[17:23] ---**
They defeated him!
**[17:32] ---**
How? How can this be?
**[17:35] ---**
Where did my calculations go wrong?
**[17:38] ---**
There was no way I could lose.
**[17:42] ---**
How?!
**[17:45] ---**
Who knows? Try asking the rat.
**[17:49] ---**
This cornered rat right here.
**[17:51] ---**
Huh?
**[17:52] ---**
The rat?
**[17:56] ---**
I see.
**[17:58] ---**
What led to my defeat
was assuming lower creatures were trash.
**[18:03] ---**
The error was in my own heart.
**[18:10] ---**
Well done, Dai!
That was an amazing Avan Strash!
**[18:14] ---**
Yeah. It's thanks to
the Sword of Champions...
**[18:23] ---**
Huh?! No! The Sword of Champions!
**[18:26] ---**
Not even the legendary sword
can endure Dai's Dragon power?!
**[18:31] ---**
No! That's impossible!
**[18:33] ---**
The Sword of Champions, much like
the Crown of Champions I gave you,
**[18:38] ---**
is made from
the legendary metal, Orichalcum!
**[18:42] ---**
Orichalcum is said to be everlasting!
**[18:45] ---**
Then why?!
**[18:49] ---**
Sorry to disappoint you.
That's an elaborate fake.
**[18:54] ---**
The real Sword of Champions
has already been offered to Lord Hadlar.
**[18:59] ---**
What?!
**[19:00] ---**
A-And...
**[19:03] ---**
if I can offer this,
my mission will be complete!
**[19:08] ---**
To my father!
**[19:13] ---**
What the hell did you do?!
**[19:16] ---**
I sent it to my father.
**[19:19] ---**
It contains the results of
my Superior Being research.
**[19:23] ---**
As well as all my knowledge.
**[19:26] ---**
With that, my father can continue
and complete the research.
**[19:32] ---**
You idiot! You father is Zaboera!
**[19:37] ---**
Do you think he'll be grateful
to you for that?!
**[19:43] ---**
I'm well aware of that.
**[19:45] ---**
My father sees everyone
other than himself as tools to be used.
**[19:50] ---**
I doubt he'll shed a tear even if I die.
**[19:54] ---**
But, despite what he is,
he is still my father.
**[19:59] ---**
Zamza!
**[20:05] ---**
This is the fate of those
who become Superior Beings.
**[20:09] ---**
When defeated, not even a corpse remains.
**[20:13] ---**
They crumble as black ash.
**[20:18] ---**
Perhaps it's punishment
for toying with the life the gods gave.
**[20:23] ---**
Zamza...
**[20:25] ---**
Save me your pity.
**[20:27] ---**
I'm quite satisfied how things turned out.
**[20:31] ---**
For just a fleeting moment,
I had the word's most powerful body.
**[20:37] ---**
And I got to fight with you.
**[20:41] ---**
But someday...
**[20:43] ---**
Someday a complete
Superior Being will come defeat you.
**[20:47] ---**
My... My fight was not in vain.
**[20:52] ---**
That right.
It could not have been... in vain.
**[21:04] ---**
You know, he probably just
wanted to be praised by his father.
**[21:09] ---**
No matter what he said, deep down,
he must have wanted his father's love.
**[21:18] ---**
I can understand.
**[21:21] ---**
I kind of understand how he felt.
**[21:35] ---**
Well done! Well done indeed, Zamza!
**[21:40] ---**
Your life was but a brief 200 years,
**[21:44] ---**
but it was quite worthwhile!
**[21:47] ---**
Be proud in the afterlife!
**[21:49] ---**
Your research shall produce
**[21:51] ---**
the greatest, most powerful Overfiend
in the Dark Army!

THE TRAIL OF ADVENTURE, THE PATH FORWARD
**[01:51] ---**
*Once, the world was threatened
by the Dark Lord Hadlar.*
**[01:55] ---**
*But thanks to the Hero and his companions,
peace was restored.*
**[02:01] ---**
DAI, THE BOY WHO SEEKS TO BE HERO
**[02:01] ---**
Dai, the Hero is here! Yippee! Go, go!
**[02:04] ---**
*The young boy, Dai
dreamed of being a Hero.*
**[02:07] ---**
*He lived peacefully with monsters who had
been freed from the Dark Lord's thrall.*
**[02:14] ---**
*Hadlar was resurrected
by the power of Dark King Vearn,*
**[02:14] ---**
DARK LORD HADLAR RETURNS
**[02:19] ---**
*Once again,
the world was thrust into peril.*
**[02:23] ---**
*This is the story of Dai and his friends
as they journey to save the world.*
**[02:24] ---**
WARRIOR PRIEST MAAM
MAGE POPP
**[02:31] ---**
*Dai grew in his battles
with the Dark Army.*

**[02:39] ---**
BEST BOUTS OF THIS SHOW
**[02:43] ---**
BEST BOUT #1
THE CROCODINE BATTLE
**[02:44] ---**
*First is the fight with
the Furfang Legion's Beast King Crocodine.*
**[02:51] ---**
*Persuaded by Zaboera, Crocodine
resorted to using Brass as a hostage.*
**[02:51] ---**
PERSUADED BY ZABOERA,
HE TAKES BRASS HOSTAGE
**[03:06] ---**
Grampa, wake up!
Don't you recognize me?!
**[03:14] ---**
This is the end!
**[03:16] ---**
Dai!
**[03:20] ---**
You again?!
**[03:22] ---**
I've got a Frizzle of my own for you!
**[03:25] ---**
Don't!
**[03:25] ---**
Dai?!
**[03:26] ---**
Maam, you'll hit Grampa!
**[03:29] ---**
But he'll kill you!
**[03:30] ---**
Please... He's the only family I've got!
**[03:36] ---**
POPP GETS THEM OUT OF DANGER
**[03:36] ---**
*It was Popp who managed to solve
this hopeless situation.*
**[03:44] ---**
A magic circle?!
**[03:45] ---**
Dark influence, begone!
**[03:48] ---**
Glimmer!
**[03:56] ---**
Huh? What?
**[03:58] ---**
I did... it!
**[04:00] ---**
What?!
**[04:01] ---**
Impossible!
**[04:03] ---**
THE DRAGON CREST
APPEARS ON DAI'S FOREHEAD
**[04:03] ---**
*And the Dragon Crest
appeared on Dai's forehead.*
**[04:07] ---**
Use this!
**[04:15] ---**
Beast King Anguish Blast!
**[04:20] ---**
Avan Strash!
**[04:32] ---**
Yes!
**[04:37] ---**
If losing was my fate,
I wish I'd fought you fair and square.
**[04:42] ---**
Crocodine?
**[04:43] ---**
HE NORMALLY FIGHTS FAIR
**[04:44] ---**
*Crocodine was normally
a warrior who fought fair.*
**[04:48] ---**
HE PRAISES DAI'S STRENGTH
AND POPP'S COURAGE
**[04:48] ---**
*He regretted using such dirty tactics
and praised Dai and his friends.*
**[04:54] ---**
Don't ever lose.
**[04:56] ---**
A Hero must always be strong!
**[04:59] ---**

UNDEAD LEGION
DARK SWORDSMAN HYUNCKEL
**[05:07] ---**
*Hyunckel is a human who was
raised by the Hell Knight Bartos.*
**[05:12] ---**
*He believed Avan killed his father.*
**[05:12] ---**
HE BELIEVES AVAN KILLED HIS FATHER
**[05:18] ---**
*In the fight in the Underground Palace,*
**[05:20] ---**
*Dai and Popp used an attack
they devised to defeat Hyunckel.*
**[05:22] ---**
THE ATTACK THEY DEVISED
TO DEFEAT HYUNCKEL
**[05:27] ---**
Reclimatise!
**[05:32] ---**
Take this!
**[05:33] ---**
Zapple!
**[05:39] ---**
*With the Soul Shell that Maam discovered,
the truth of Bartos's death was revealed.*
**[05:44] ---**
THE TRUTH IS REVEALED...!!
**[05:47] ---**
...you have a family.
**[05:50] ---**
When I realized that, I couldn't kill you.
**[05:56] ---**
Sir Hero! I have something I must ask you!
**[06:02] ---**
*And so I told him.*
**[06:04] ---**
*How I found and raised a human child.*
**[06:08] ---**
*And that, even if he spared me,
should Hadlar die, I would cease to be.*
**[06:14] ---**
Hero Avan! Please look after my son!
**[06:18] ---**
Raise him to be a strong,
righteous warrior!
**[06:21] ---**
I ask that you show him real human warmth!
**[06:27] ---**
Yes.
**[06:28] ---**
*And the fight between Dai and Hyunckel...*
**[06:35] ---**
What?!
**[06:36] ---**
Zap...
**[06:40] ---**
Strash!

**[06:49] ---**
FLAZZARD APPEARS
AND ALL HOPE SEEMS LOST
**[06:52] ---**
*Flazzard appeared
and all hope seemed lost.*
**[06:57] ---**
*However...*
**[06:58] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[06:59] ---**
I can't let any of you die here!
**[07:04] ---**
*Crocodine, I finally understand
how you felt!*
**[07:09] ---**
*I hope I can apologize to you
in the afterlife.*
**[07:13] ---**
*But for now, for just an instant...*
**[07:16] ---**
*lend me your titan strength!*
**[07:24] ---**
Stop! Don't do it, Hyunckel!
**[07:35] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[07:37] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[07:39] ---**

**[08:04] ---**
THEY SPLIT UP TO DESTROY
THE DARK FLAME AND DARK ICE SPIRES
**[08:05] ---**

the Dark Flame and Dark Ice Spires.*
**[08:12] ---**

appeared at the Dark Flame Spire,*
**[08:16] ---**
*while Hadlar appeared
at the Dark Ice Spire.*
**[08:20] ---**
Avan...
**[08:27] ---**
Dai!
**[08:29] ---**
*As Dai and his friends struggled,
a former enemy came to their aid.*
**[08:29] ---**
A FORMER ENEMY COMES TO THEIR AID
**[08:41] ---**
Wh-Who was that?!
**[08:43] ---**
I do!
**[08:47] ---**
I-Impossible!
**[08:55] ---**
Beast King Crocodine!
**[08:59] ---**
*And at the Dark Ice Spire...*
**[08:59] ---**
AT THE DARK ICE SPIRE...
**[09:19] ---**
You're...!
**[09:27] ---**
*Hyunckel's Grand Cross was blocked,
but his will to fight struck Hadlar down.*
**[09:35] ---**
Die, Hyunckel!
**[09:42] ---**
I-Impossible!
**[09:44] ---**
*He had spent all of his Aura completely!*
**[09:55] ---**
*Even unconscious, he still retains
the last of his will to fight!*
**[10:01] ---**
*Well done, Hyunckel.
You are indeed, a true...*
**[10:06] ---**
*warrior...!*

the Rock Bullet Shrapnel Detonation, but...*
**[10:24] ---**
*Sense it!*
**[10:26] ---**
*The life energy of everyone here!*
**[10:31] ---**

THE WORLD SUMMIT
**[01:54] ---**
Princess Leona is planning a world summit
to plan the battle with the Dark Army.
**[01:59] ---**
A world summit?
**[02:00] ---**
That's right.
**[02:02] ---**
She's gathering kings and leaders from
all over the world for a world meeting.
**[02:08] ---**
Leona's planning that?
**[02:11] ---**
Until now, leaders didn't work together,
something the Dark Army has exploited.
**[02:17] ---**
As a result, Orzam, Ringaia,
and Carl have fallen.
**[02:24] ---**
But, with the call of
the young leader, Princess Leona,
**[02:28] ---**
the remaining leaders have decided to work
and plan together to face the Dark Army.
**[02:36] ---**
Amazing!
**[02:37] ---**
That's huge!
**[02:41] ---**
That's what Leona meant by
something only she can do.
**[02:44] ---**
When and where will
the world summit be held?
**[02:47] ---**
In a few days, at a location in Papnica.
**[02:51] ---**
I plan to depart tonight, but Dai...
**[02:55] ---**
would you like to join me?
**[03:00] ---**
Listen, if important people
from all over will be there,
**[03:04] ---**
maybe someone will know
about other legendary weapons.
**[03:07] ---**
That's true!
**[03:08] ---**
Your Majesty, we'll leave for Papnica
right away with Popp's Zoom spell!
**[03:12] ---**
Very well.
**[03:14] ---**
-In that case...
-Wait a minute.
**[03:18] ---**
Thank you. Without you,
we would all have died.
**[03:25] ---**
You're a true Hero indeed.
**[03:28] ---**
You showed me
there's always a bigger fish.
**[03:30] ---**
We'll train to prepare for the upcoming
showdown with the Dark Army.
**[03:36] ---**
*Why?! After my
amazing performance out there...!*
**[03:41] ---**
All of you! Why won't you praise me?!
**[03:45] ---**
-Stop that!
-Ow!
**[03:47] ---**
Who did that?!
**[03:47] ---**
Enough. You're making a fool of yourself.
**[03:50] ---**
How dare you, you little ghost!
**[03:53] ---**
I don't think you have the right
to talk down to me like that!
**[03:57] ---**
Oh? Are you sure?
**[03:58] ---**
What?!
**[04:01] ---**
Can't you tell?
That's Grand Master Brokeena.
**[04:05] ---**
What?!
**[04:07] ---**
Uh...
**[04:12] ---**
Hi!
**[04:13] ---**
Eep!
**[04:14] ---**
Grand Master!
**[04:15] ---**
This old man is the Grand Master?!
**[04:19] ---**
Sir Brokeena, the Holy Fist!
**[04:20] ---**
G-Grand Master!
Why were you disguised?!
**[04:23] ---**
I was curious to see
how you two had improved.
**[04:27] ---**
You two are students of
Brokeena, the Holy Fist?
**[04:30] ---**
I didn't expect all that to happen,
**[04:32] ---**
but in the end, I got to see
the results of Maam's training.
**[04:38] ---**
*I'm gonna get chewed out!*
**[04:40] ---**
The experience was good for you,
wasn't it, Chiu?
**[04:44] ---**
For three years since I took you in,
**[04:46] ---**
the reason you never improved
was because you always tried to show off.
**[04:52] ---**
But that attack you used when you were
desperate was quite impressive, wasn't it?
**[04:59] ---**
You've grown.
**[05:01] ---**
Grand Master!
**[05:02] ---**
You're a proper hero, too!
**[05:05] ---**
You've got the biggest guts in Romos!
**[05:11] ---**
Everyone...
**[05:13] ---**
That's how it is, Chiu.
Fame follows after.
**[05:17] ---**
You mustn't seek it out.
**[05:22] ---**
Grand Master!
**[05:26] ---**
He's a pretty good master.
**[05:28] ---**
Yes.
**[05:29] ---**
Let's get going.
**[05:36] ---**
Grand Master,
I'd like to travel with Miss Maam.
**[05:40] ---**
Go ahead. If they give you permission.
**[05:43] ---**
Well, thank you for everything!
**[05:48] ---**
Hold on, you three!
**[05:50] ---**
Chiu?
**[05:51] ---**
If you insist,
I would be willing to help...
**[05:54] ---**
Zoom.
**[05:56] ---**
Huh?! Hey!
**[05:58] ---**
Wait! Wait for me!
**[06:02] ---**
Popp...
**[06:03] ---**
That was mean.
**[06:05] ---**
Well, he hasn't learned
his master's lesson.
**[06:09] ---**
Still, he's an interesting guy.
**[06:12] ---**
Wait!
**[06:14] ---**
Looking at him,
**[06:16] ---**
my worries about being human or not
seems almost insignificant.
**[06:24] ---**
I suppose we could use a guy like him.
**[06:28] ---**
Wait! Let me join your party!
**[06:38] ---**
Mystvearn?! How did you find this place?!
**[06:41] ---**
So your hideout was on this island
so close to the Field of Death.
**[06:47] ---**
Where is Hadlar?
**[06:49] ---**
Well...
**[06:50] ---**
Where is he?
**[06:53] ---**
Zaboera, let him in.
**[06:56] ---**
Lord Hadlar?!
**[06:58] ---**
It matters not. I need to speak to him.
**[07:09] ---**
Pathetic, isn't it?
**[07:12] ---**
This is the man who failed at his
last chance to kill Dai and was defeated.
**[07:20] ---**
Mystvearn, you're King Vearn's
most trusted vassal.
**[07:25] ---**
I know you serve under me,
yet you wield more authority.
**[07:32] ---**
If you wish to inform King Vearn
of my defeat, so be it.
**[07:37] ---**
I know I'm in no position to ask,
but I must beg a favor!
**[07:41] ---**
While I'm converted into a Superior Being,
would you fight the humans?
**[07:49] ---**
The conversion is almost complete,
but the humans are up to something big.
**[07:56] ---**
I've learned leaders from around the world
are quietly gathering in Papnica.
**[08:02] ---**
You want me to crush them for you?
To buy you time?
**[08:09] ---**
Will that serve King Vearn?
**[08:12] ---**
I know of Zamza's defeat.
**[08:15] ---**
Superior Beings are flawed creatures
that can't cast spells after transforming.
**[08:20] ---**
We have already found
a solution to that flaw.
**[08:24] ---**
Magic Power is lost in the process of
changing from Darkling to Superior Being.
**[08:31] ---**
The solution to that is to turn this body
into a Superior Being from the start!
**[08:37] ---**
What?
**[08:39] ---**
Hadlar, you would abandon
your Darkling body?
**[08:43] ---**
You would live on as a monster?
**[08:46] ---**
Indeed.
**[08:47] ---**
You would lose your immortality.
Would you allow that?
**[08:51] ---**
The Disciples of Avan are enemies
worth that sacrifice. I now realize that.
**[08:58] ---**
I no longer want status or honor
or even this life!
**[09:03] ---**
I must defeat them, even if it costs me
my body, or my life will mean nothing!
**[09:13] ---**
Very well.
**[09:15] ---**
Hadlar, despite having
the strongest body and abilities,
**[09:19] ---**
the reason the Disciples of Avan
continued to beat you,
**[09:22] ---**
was your weakness of will
and your pride.
**[09:26] ---**
But you have cast those aside.
**[09:28] ---**
Having overcome your greatest weakness,
you shall become the greatest warrior.
**[09:35] ---**
King Vearn will be pleased.
**[09:38] ---**
Leave Papnica to me.
**[09:41] ---**
Thank you.
**[09:46] ---**
Can he really be trusted?
**[09:48] ---**
We have no choice.
I need time more than anything.
**[09:54] ---**
I don't care who gives it,
so long as I can have one last chance!
**[10:05] ---**
Hmm. This is a pretty lovely country.
**[10:09] ---**
Yo, you're back!
**[10:15] ---**
*What the heck is this behemoth?!*
**[10:18] ---**
Crocodine!
**[10:20] ---**
Maam! I heard you fought admirably!
**[10:24] ---**
Your return is like
giving a metal club to an ogre!
**[10:27] ---**
Don't talk about metal clubs
and ogres to a girl!
**[10:33] ---**
Sorry about that!
**[10:35] ---**
Hm?
**[10:39] ---**
What's that thing?
**[10:41] ---**
That's my fellow student, Chiu.
He just joined us.
**[10:50] ---**
Hmm.
**[10:51] ---**
Are you sure this little rat
is up to being a party member?
**[10:57] ---**
*Is he another male friend of Miss Maam's?*
**[11:00] ---**
Now, now, Big Guy. He actually helped out.
**[11:05] ---**
*Miss Maam has pretty poor taste.*
**[11:09] ---**
So where's the Princess and other leaders?
**[11:11] ---**
The world summit is being held... there.
**[11:16] ---**
The Papnica Grand Chapel.
They're gathered there.
**[11:30] ---**
How surprisingly considerate of Myst
to show such leniency to Hadlar.
**[11:36] ---**
You said it!
**[11:38] ---**
But, if he's holding the Key of Vearn,
**[11:42] ---**
it means King Vearn
is allowing this attack.
**[11:54] ---**
REFRACTOR FIST
**[11:59] ---**
DARK PUPPETRY AURA HAND
**[12:05] ---**
All of you, welcome back.
**[12:09] ---**
And Maam!
**[12:12] ---**
Leona!
**[12:13] ---**
I see you've gotten stronger.
We're counting on you.
**[12:16] ---**
You're impressive, too, Leona.
To unite leaders from around the world.
**[12:21] ---**
Unfortunately, it's not all of them.
**[12:24] ---**
We've heard nothing
from leaders of the fallen countries.
**[12:28] ---**
At Ringaia, we only managed
to rescue General Bowson.
**[12:32] ---**
We couldn't find anyone in Orzam.
**[12:35] ---**
And Queen Flora of
Carl Kingdom is still missing.
**[12:40] ---**
Don't worry. She's well known
for being a bold, courageous woman.
**[12:45] ---**
I know she's all right.
**[12:46] ---**
Huh. More bold than the Princess?
**[12:49] ---**
She could even be stronger than Dai.
**[12:51] ---**
I heard that, Popp!
**[12:55] ---**
Hey, does anyone in the world summit
know about legendary swords?
**[13:00] ---**
Why don't you ask King Volken of Teran?
**[13:04] ---**
He's known for his great knowledge.
**[13:08] ---**
A sword stronger than
the Sword of Champions
**[13:11] ---**
likely doesn't exist.
**[13:14] ---**
What?!
**[13:15] ---**
The metal used in that sword,
Orichalcum, was made my the gods.
**[13:22] ---**
A small bit was given to humans
and made into legendary equipment.
**[13:26] ---**
What about the Demon Dragon Blade?!
**[13:29] ---**
That sword was forged by the gods.
**[13:32] ---**
It's not a sword of the human world.
**[13:35] ---**
I see.
**[13:38] ---**
Are there any other powerful swords?
**[13:41] ---**
Summon Merle.
**[13:43] ---**
Huh?! Merle's in Papnica?!
**[13:53] ---**
*I get to help Popp and the others already.*
**[13:57] ---**
Now Dai, visualize the object you seek.
**[14:02] ---**
When I tell you, drop that flame.
**[14:15] ---**
Now.
**[14:22] ---**
La... n... kir... ks...
**[14:26] ---**
Huh?!
**[14:27] ---**
What's that?
**[14:29] ---**
Lankirks Village.
**[14:31] ---**
A small village that lies east
of Teran and Bengarna.
**[14:36] ---**
How will we get there?
**[14:37] ---**
Maybe borrow Leona's Balloon Ship?
**[14:40] ---**
Or use Zoom to somewhere close by?
**[14:43] ---**
We could use Zoom to get straight there.
**[14:45] ---**
Huh?! Really?!
**[14:47] ---**
Popp, you've been to that village?
**[14:49] ---**
I didn't go there. I left it.
**[14:53] ---**
It's my place of birth.
**[14:54] ---**
It's your home village?!
**[14:57] ---**
Your family runs a weapon store, right?!
That might be it!
**[15:02] ---**
You know, I ran away from home
to be Master Avan's student...
**[15:15] ---**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[15:18] ---**
What a terrible landing.
**[15:19] ---**
Don't blame me. I'm carrying a lot.
**[15:23] ---**
Sorry about this.
**[15:24] ---**
For making you come with us.
**[15:27] ---**
We figured you being here would help.
**[15:30] ---**
It's okay. I want to help all of you.
**[15:34] ---**
This way.
**[15:40] ---**
*Thank goodness.*
**[15:42] ---**
*She's nothing like that fake one.
She's kind and warm.*
**[15:48] ---**
*I can see why Popp likes her.*
**[15:54] ---**
It seems like a nice place.
**[15:57] ---**
It's a tiny village.
Nothing's changed at all.
**[16:05] ---**
The shop's up ahead. I'll be waiting here.
**[16:09] ---**
Are you really sure?
**[16:11] ---**
If Dad sees me, it'll be bad.
**[16:13] ---**
Does that lady work in the weapon shop?
**[16:15] ---**
Huh?!
**[16:24] ---**
Mom!
**[16:25] ---**
Huh?! Popp?!
**[16:27] ---**
Is that really you?!
**[16:29] ---**
Huh? Uh...
**[16:32] ---**
Popp!
**[16:37] ---**
Mom!
**[16:38] ---**
Popp!
**[16:40] ---**
Mom, I'm sorry!
**[16:42] ---**
-I'm sorry!
-It's okay, Popp!
**[16:44] ---**
Popp...
**[16:46] ---**
He must have really wanted to see her.
**[16:52] ---**
Dad?!
**[16:54] ---**
Honey, Popp is back!
**[16:58] ---**
Popp...
**[17:02] ---**
Dad!
**[17:06] ---**
You run off without a word
for over a year!
**[17:10] ---**
You think you can just waltz back
like nothing's happened?!
**[17:14] ---**
-You ungrateful son!
-Honey, stop!
**[17:16] ---**
Mister! Calm down!
**[17:18] ---**
Why you...!
**[17:24] ---**
I didn't realize we had customers.
Sorry about that.
**[17:27] ---**
I can't believe my idiot son
is actually helping the Hero.
**[17:32] ---**
But he's helped us so much.
**[17:34] ---**
It's thanks to Popp that we're even alive.
**[17:38] ---**
He's our most reliable friend!
**[17:40] ---**
Seriously?
**[17:41] ---**
So, mister, about what we said...
**[17:44] ---**
Right. A legendary sword.
**[17:46] ---**
You won't find one in my shop.
**[17:48] ---**
But you might find something
at Lon's place.
**[17:51] ---**
Lon?
**[17:52] ---**
He's a Darkling I met recently.
**[17:55] ---**
Dad! Is that Darkling's name, Lon Beruk?!
**[17:59] ---**
Sure. So?
**[18:00] ---**
You know him?
**[18:01] ---**
I heard from Hyunckel.
**[18:03] ---**
The legendary craftsman who made his
Dark Armour Blade and Spear was named...
**[18:08] ---**
Lon Beruk!
**[18:09] ---**
Then...!
**[18:10] ---**
Yeah, if we ask him...!
**[18:12] ---**
Don't be so sure.
**[18:13] ---**
Huh?
**[18:14] ---**
He lives in the forest like a hermit.
**[18:17] ---**
He doesn't like meeting people.
**[18:24] ---**
Go away.
**[18:26] ---**
I will never put my heart into
making a weapon again.
**[18:30] ---**
Much less a fool's errand like
the world's greatest sword.
**[18:34] ---**
But...!
**[18:35] ---**
My interests lie solely in
how the weapons I make perform.
**[18:41] ---**
But recently, there's been
a lack of decent wielders.
**[18:45] ---**
No matter how powerful the weapon,
**[18:47] ---**
if the wielder is a dud,
then it's nothing but an ornament.
**[18:50] ---**
Those swords over there.
**[18:53] ---**
I forged them for drinking money,
but they're better than a normal sword.
**[18:57] ---**
Take one and leave.
**[19:16] ---**
Better than normal isn't enough.
**[19:19] ---**
Even your Dark Armour Blade couldn't
endure my power and crumbled.
**[19:24] ---**
What?
**[19:26] ---**
Please! Make a sword
stronger than that Dark Sword!
**[19:30] ---**
Otherwise, I can't hope to beat
the Demon Dragon Blade!
**[19:34] ---**
The Demon Dragon Blade?!
**[19:37] ---**
You fought that weapon?!
**[19:39] ---**
And?! What was the result?!
**[19:41] ---**
It was a draw.
**[19:43] ---**
I broke their sword,
but mine disintegrated.
**[19:48] ---**
So I guess I lost.
**[19:49] ---**
You broke it? You broke
the Demon Dragon Blade with my sword?!
**[19:54] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:57] ---**
Wonderful! That's magnificent!
**[20:00] ---**
Hey, Lon, what's so funny?
**[20:02] ---**
How can I not be overjoyed?!
**[20:04] ---**
The Demon Dragon Blade was forged
by the gods as the world's greatest sword!
**[20:08] ---**
It's the ultimate weapon
that I spent over a century pursuing!
**[20:14] ---**
To hear that the Dark Sword I forged
out of an inferior metal broke it!
**[20:19] ---**
You've impressed me, boy!
**[20:23] ---**
With you as its wielder,
I can forge the world's greatest sword!
**[20:27] ---**
If I make it out of the same material,
it will beat the Demon Dragon Blade!
**[20:33] ---**
Then please! Hurry!
**[20:35] ---**
Calm down. I said, "the same material."
**[20:40] ---**
The same as the Demon Dragon Blade.
Orichalcum.
**[20:44] ---**
Find me some Orichalcum.
**[20:46] ---**
What?!
**[20:47] ---**
I'm no Alchemist.
Without material, I can't forge a weapon.
**[20:51] ---**
Great. So we're back to square one.
**[20:54] ---**
But we just need to find some Orichalcum.
**[20:57] ---**
Easier said than...
**[21:00] ---**
Hm?
**[21:00] ---**
Oh!
**[21:02] ---**
The Crown of Champions!
**[21:04] ---**
King Romos said it's made of Orichalcum!
**[21:07] ---**
To Dermline Island!
**[21:13] ---**
Grampa! Where?! Where is it?!
**[21:15] ---**
What's this all about?
**[21:17] ---**
My Crown of Champions!
**[21:19] ---**
It should be back there.
**[21:22] ---**
Where?! Oh! This!
**[21:24] ---**
Whoops! That's not it!
**[21:25] ---**
Wait! I found it!
**[21:27] ---**
So that's our Orichalcum!
**[21:30] ---**
Let's go!
**[21:31] ---**
-Bye, Grampa!
-Excuse us!
**[21:34] ---**
Zoom!
**[21:34] ---**
Clean up after yourselves!

THE LANDING OF SOVEREIGN ROCK CASTLE
**[01:54] ---**
We've been waiting for you, King Romos.
**[01:57] ---**
This world summit
is a wonderful idea, Princess Leona.
**[02:04] ---**
That's...!
**[02:08] ---**
King Romos, he is...
**[02:12] ---**
He's a friend of Dai's now?
**[02:14] ---**
King Romos...
**[02:18] ---**
King Romos! This! The Crown of Champions!
**[02:22] ---**
Can we make this into a weapon?!
We're making an Orichalcum sword!
**[02:29] ---**
That is already yours.
**[02:31] ---**
Why would I oppose to remaking it
into a weapon for world peace?
**[02:37] ---**
Thank you, Your Majesty!
**[02:40] ---**
Bengarna's ship is entering port!
**[02:54] ---**
That's huge!
**[02:55] ---**
Such a large ship...
**[03:15] ---**
Princess Leona, I've come
answering your summons.
**[03:20] ---**
King Bengarna, we specifically
asked of you to be discreet.
**[03:24] ---**
Using such a warship is...
**[03:27] ---**
And what are those weapons?
**[03:29] ---**
They're tanks, King Romos.
**[03:31] ---**
The pride of my country,
the elite Tank Brigade.
**[03:34] ---**
Isn't that right, Akhim?
**[03:36] ---**
Sir! The Bengarna Tank Brigade takes pride
in being the world's strongest army!
**[03:42] ---**
It's all about weapons now. Swords
and magic are nothing against a cannon.
**[03:48] ---**
This world summit is a war council on how
my army will attack the Dark Army, right?
**[03:54] ---**
So where's it being held?
**[03:58] ---**
Please follow me.
**[04:02] ---**
I guess not every king is very admirable.
**[04:06] ---**
Crocodine,
I know this is a bad time, but we...
**[04:10] ---**
Don't worry and go. Papnica still has me.
**[04:15] ---**
I guess it also has them, too.
**[04:19] ---**
Okay, Popp.
**[04:20] ---**
Hold it! Let me rest a little!
**[04:32] ---**
Wow! What do my eyes see,
but Papnica Kingdom!
**[04:36] ---**
If we're landing there,
I'd have preferred a more impressive boat.
**[04:41] ---**
I need to look the part of a Hero.
**[04:44] ---**
What are you saying?!
**[04:45] ---**
We decided to change our ways and
try to be a real Hero's party, didn't we?!
**[04:51] ---**
Sure.
**[04:52] ---**
Papnica's putting up a good fight with
the Dark Army, so it should work out.
**[04:58] ---**
We can defeat the Dark Army
and become real heroes!
**[05:01] ---**
If we stick with them and fight a bit,
we should get some money and experience.
**[05:07] ---**
Let's go to Papnica!
**[05:09] ---**
No objection!
**[05:13] ---**
Huh?
**[05:14] ---**
Huh?!
**[05:18] ---**
What's that?
**[05:31] ---**
L-Landing... cancelled!
**[05:35] ---**
No objection!
**[05:51] ---**
How goes the Hero's Sword?
**[05:53] ---**
Same as before.
**[05:55] ---**
He tossed the Crown in the furnace
and is still staring at Dai's hand.
**[06:00] ---**
It's already been half a day.
**[06:01] ---**
Who knows what he's doing?
**[06:14] ---**
Um, Lon Beruk...
**[06:17] ---**
Long ago, people and weapons were one.
**[06:21] ---**
People strove to match up
to powerful weapons.
**[06:24] ---**
People were strong,
and so weapons evolved.
**[06:28] ---**
Now they're all worthless.
**[06:31] ---**
But you...
**[06:33] ---**
You will show me the most powerful being
paired with the most powerful weapon.
**[06:40] ---**
Thank you!
**[06:43] ---**
Jank, give me a hand.
This will be a big job.
**[06:47] ---**
At last!
**[06:55] ---**
He's started!
**[07:00] ---**
Dad?!
**[07:02] ---**
Lon's started forging the sword
like he's possessed.
**[07:06] ---**
I'll help him,
so don't break his concentration.
**[07:10] ---**
Apparently, this sword is a new life
being created specifically for Dai.
**[07:15] ---**
So it won't be like forging
an ordinary weapon.
**[07:19] ---**
I see. That's why he was studying
the hands that would wield it.
**[07:25] ---**
They say a true weapon
chooses its wielder.
**[07:28] ---**
Yes.
**[07:29] ---**
Okay, Dad. You've got this.
**[07:32] ---**
I don't need you to tell me that!
**[07:37] ---**
What's wrong, miss?
**[07:39] ---**
Merle?!
**[07:40] ---**
I see it! I see it!
**[07:42] ---**
A giant shadow!
**[07:45] ---**
A terrifying... A terrifying power!
**[07:49] ---**
At this rate, Papnica will fall!
**[08:03] ---**
What?
**[08:05] ---**
Nothing.
**[08:08] ---**
King Bengarna, as we've said,
we must gather the world's forces as one
**[08:14] ---**
to defeat the Dark Army.
**[08:16] ---**
That's why we've all gathered here.
**[08:19] ---**
And my army will lead.
**[08:22] ---**
I'm saying to relax and leave it to me.
**[08:24] ---**
King Bengarna,
**[08:26] ---**
Ringaia was a powerful country
called the "Fortress Kingdom,"
**[08:30] ---**
yet we fell before the Dragon Legion
of the Dark Army in one week.
**[08:36] ---**
So I've heard.
**[08:38] ---**
Their power can only be understood
by those who fought them.
**[08:42] ---**
My apologies,
but your country still exists
**[08:45] ---**
only because the enemy has not yet
brought in their full force.
**[08:51] ---**
You insult me, General Bowson!
**[08:53] ---**
Do you not know the power of my army,
the world's greatest army?!
**[09:04] ---**
*This is going nowhere. Even after
we finally managed to hold this summit...*
**[09:11] ---**
Observe!
That cutting-edge, top-class warship!
**[09:16] ---**
That unstoppable Tank Brigade!
**[09:19] ---**
No matter what forces
the Dark Army may have, they can't...
**[09:33] ---**
What is that?!
**[09:40] ---**
That's...
**[09:42] ---**
impossible!
**[09:53] ---**
What is that thing?!
**[09:55] ---**
I don't know!
I don't know, but I do know this!
**[10:00] ---**
Papnica is finished!
**[10:03] ---**
That face! Sovereign Rock Castle?!
**[10:06] ---**
*So Hyunckel's hypothesis was right!*
**[10:09] ---**
*Sovereign Rock Castle itself
is a walking fortress! A giant Overfiend!*
**[10:15] ---**
*That said...*
**[10:17] ---**
*I can't believe how big it is!*
**[10:20] ---**
This is bad!
**[10:21] ---**
A giant! A giant is attacking!
**[10:24] ---**
Wait! How did something that big
get so close without you noticing?!
**[10:28] ---**
Well, there was a thick mist
over the ocean!
**[10:32] ---**
A mist?! Did you say a mist?!
**[10:35] ---**
Could it be...?!
**[10:37] ---**
Mystvearn!
**[10:42] ---**
Bengarna's ship.
**[10:44] ---**
Just as Hadlar suspected.
**[10:47] ---**
The world leaders
are gathered here in Papnica.
**[10:51] ---**
Pathetic ants who defy King Vearn.
**[10:55] ---**
I'll smoke them out and crush them.
**[11:21] ---**
FULLHEAL
HEALING-TYPE SPELL
**[11:25] ---**
DARK PUPPETRY AURA HAND
**[11:32] ---**
What a creature!
**[11:34] ---**
Unbelievable!
It's beyond human comprehension!
**[11:38] ---**
It must be here to wipe us all out.
**[11:42] ---**
They knew about this meeting.
**[11:47] ---**
Akhim! Take command of the Tank Brigade!
**[11:50] ---**
Show them the true power
of the Bengarna Army!
**[11:55] ---**
Sir! As you command!
**[11:58] ---**
Don't be so reckless, King Bengarna!
It destroyed a warship with one attack!
**[12:04] ---**
My tanks! My tanks won't lose!
**[12:07] ---**
They'll blow that lump of rock to pieces!
**[12:11] ---**
Follow me!
**[12:15] ---**
Wait!
**[12:16] ---**
That's not just a giant made of rocks!
**[12:19] ---**
It's Sovereign Rock Castle!
The main fortress of the Dark Army!
**[12:23] ---**
To face it head-on
will only mean pointless death!
**[12:28] ---**
His Majesty has ordered me
to display Bengarna Army's true power.
**[12:32] ---**
Win or lose, we must show our courage
to lead the rest of the world!
**[12:39] ---**
Out of the way!
**[12:43] ---**
*He seemed unpleasant at first,
but he has his own loyalties.*
**[12:49] ---**
*I sense a warrior in him.
I can't let him die.*
**[12:53] ---**
Crocodine!
**[12:56] ---**
Old man!
**[12:57] ---**
Sorry for the wait! It's finally complete!
**[13:01] ---**
Oh! That's my Vortex Axe!
**[13:04] ---**
The life of legendary weapons,
the Magic Jewel was undamaged.
**[13:09] ---**
So I rebuilt it using Papnican metals!
**[13:13] ---**
I call it Vortex Axe Returns Mark II!
**[13:18] ---**
Thanks! This'll give me
the strength of a hundred!
**[13:21] ---**
No, the strength of a thousand!
**[13:24] ---**
Thanks, old man!
**[13:26] ---**
We're counting on you!
I'll join you in a bit!
**[13:37] ---**
It's no good. I can't use
a crystal ball like Grandmother can.
**[13:42] ---**
That was enough.
All we needed was a glimpse.
**[13:45] ---**
Something big is here.
**[13:50] ---**
Let's go back to Papnica!
**[13:51] ---**
Stop!
**[13:55] ---**
Have you forgotten?!
This sword is being made for you!
**[13:59] ---**
It's being given life for you!
**[14:03] ---**
It's not a normal weapon! It has a soul!
**[14:09] ---**
A sword with a soul?
**[14:12] ---**
When it answers your soul
and accepts you as its wielder,
**[14:17] ---**
it will unleash
the world's greatest power!
**[14:21] ---**
That's why you must
bear witness to its birth!
**[14:26] ---**
We'll come back for it.
Can't you make it in the meantime?
**[14:29] ---**
A blade requires
the voice of its wielder's soul!
**[14:34] ---**
Without that voice, this will become
just another weapon!
**[14:43] ---**
Lon Beruk is pouring his life into this.
**[14:46] ---**
It must take godly strength beyond our
understanding to create this sword.
**[14:53] ---**
He's using a material like Orichalcum.
**[14:56] ---**
It's not a normal forging.
**[14:58] ---**
But at this rate, Papnica...
**[15:02] ---**
Okay. Dai, you stay here
and complete your sword.
**[15:09] ---**
Meanwhile, we'll hold off the Dark Army!
**[15:12] ---**
We have to work together
to defeat an enemy of that size!
**[15:17] ---**
That's why you have to stay here, Dai.
**[15:21] ---**
They're trying to kill
all the world leaders at once.
**[15:25] ---**
We need your Hero's Sword now
more than ever!
**[15:29] ---**
Popp...
**[15:31] ---**
Or do you think we can't even
buy you some time?
**[15:35] ---**
After all we've been through,
you can't possibly think that.
**[15:38] ---**
Leave it to us.
**[15:40] ---**
Yes.
**[15:43] ---**
Everyone!
**[15:44] ---**
So that's the deal!
Leave things to us for now!
**[15:54] ---**
Prepare to fire!
**[15:57] ---**
Fools.
**[16:02] ---**
Fire!
**[16:12] ---**
Continue firing!
**[16:16] ---**
Amazing!
**[16:19] ---**
Weigh anchor and keep firing!
**[16:21] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[16:33] ---**
*That was pretty cool what I said back there.*
**[16:37] ---**
*I can't back down now having said all that.*
**[16:40] ---**
*I really might get killed this time
fighting something that big.*
**[16:46] ---**
*Dammit!*
**[16:48] ---**
What's with him?
**[16:50] ---**
He's freaking out, Miss Maam.
Are you sure about him?
**[16:53] ---**
Honestly.
**[16:55] ---**
He's fine.
**[16:57] ---**
Popp can seem unreliable at first,
but he always overcomes pain and fear.
**[17:04] ---**
That's how he's always been.
**[17:05] ---**
Yes.
**[17:08] ---**
Okay! No point in chickening out!
Take the bull by the horns!
**[17:13] ---**
Okay! Let's all go!
**[17:15] ---**
Right!
**[17:18] ---**
Dad, try to be useful to Lon Beruk!
**[17:21] ---**
Shut up! And you better not
get in everybody's way!
**[17:25] ---**
Show 'em what you're made of!
**[17:32] ---**
Bye!
**[17:33] ---**
I'm off!
**[17:41] ---**
Zoom!
**[17:47] ---**
Honey...
**[17:49] ---**
Stein...
**[17:50] ---**
Popp's gone away again, hasn't he?
**[17:53] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:54] ---**
But I've never seen Popp
with such a serious look in his eyes.
**[18:00] ---**
He's gone and grown up all of a sudden.
**[18:03] ---**
As a kid he used to always be
such a wimp and a quitter.
**[18:09] ---**
When he left home,
we were angry at Master Avan, but...
**[18:15] ---**
We should thank him...
**[18:17] ---**
for making our boy into a man.
**[18:26] ---**
See that?! See that?!
The force of the invincible Bengarna Army!
**[18:42] ---**
We can win this, my friends!
**[18:46] ---**
Everyone! Get back!
**[18:52] ---**
What the...?!
**[18:53] ---**
Popp!
**[18:54] ---**
Princess, where's the giant?!
**[18:56] ---**
The bay! How did you know?!
**[18:59] ---**
Merle showed us! So we hurried back!
**[19:02] ---**
Where's Dai?! I thought he was with you!
**[19:05] ---**
He's making the world's strongest sword!
**[19:09] ---**
It'll be ready soon!
**[19:11] ---**
So we came back first
to try to hold them off!
**[19:18] ---**
Forget your "world's strongest sword!"
**[19:20] ---**
Who'd need that?! Look!
**[19:23] ---**
My Bengarna Tank Brigade
will soon blow that giant to pieces!
**[19:30] ---**
No. It's not working.
**[19:33] ---**
What?! Don't be ridiculous!
**[19:35] ---**
Can't you see it's breaking apart,
dropping pieces of rock everywhere?!
**[19:41] ---**
But in that smoke,
its energy hasn't waned at all.
**[19:46] ---**
In fact...
**[19:48] ---**
Cease fire!
**[19:50] ---**
Well?
**[19:52] ---**
There should be nothing left.
**[20:04] ---**
Look out!
**[20:14] ---**
Abandon ship!
**[20:24] ---**
You?!
**[20:39] ---**
A castle?!
**[20:52] ---**
*You fools.*
**[20:55] ---**
You've revealed it by yourselves.
**[20:59] ---**
Sovereign Rock Castle's true form.
**[21:07] ---**
*Princess of Papnica, Leona...*
**[21:10] ---**
*and other world leaders.*
**[21:14] ---**
*I serve the great Dark King Vearn.*
**[21:19] ---**
*I am Shadow Legion Commander Mystvearn.*
**[21:22] ---**
Shadow Legion Commander Mystvearn...
**[21:26] ---**
So it really was him.
**[21:29] ---**
*I bring you an order.*
**[21:32] ---**
What's his deal?!
**[21:33] ---**
Is he going to threaten us,
saying come out or die?!
**[21:39] ---**
*Die.*
**[21:43] ---**
*You are all worthless.*
**[21:47] ---**
You are vermin to Dark King Vearn.
**[21:51] ---**
Surrender will not be allowed.
**[21:53] ---**
Die.
**[21:55] ---**
Begone from this world,
along with this entire country!
**[22:04] ---**
*Even if you face the devil
With logic on your side*
**[22:04] ---**

MASTER OF DARKNESS AGAINST HIS PUPIL
**[01:51] ---**
*You are all worthless.*
**[01:55] ---**
You are vermin to Dark King Vearn.
**[01:58] ---**
Surrender will not be allowed.
**[02:01] ---**
Die.
**[02:02] ---**
Begone from this world,
along with this entire country!
**[02:10] ---**
*Make sure your final screams are loud
enough that King Vearn can hear them!*
**[02:19] ---**
The Shadow Legion!
**[02:20] ---**
Here they come!
**[02:21] ---**
Vermin?! Surrender won't be allowed?!
**[02:25] ---**
He thinks humans are
this world's garbage?!
**[02:28] ---**
Who does he think he is?! That does it!
**[02:31] ---**
Wait! I'm coming, too!
**[02:34] ---**
Leona, run when you have the chance!
**[02:36] ---**
Be careful out there, you two!
**[02:40] ---**
Huh?! Uh, what about me?!
**[02:46] ---**
I understand.
**[02:48] ---**
Huh?
**[02:48] ---**
I will look after those two.
**[02:53] ---**
Uh...
**[02:54] ---**
Thank you.
**[02:57] ---**
Popp, calm down!
You won't beat him by losing your head!
**[03:00] ---**
I know! But he just makes me so mad!
**[03:04] ---**
Dammit! I'll show him that humans
aren't as weak as he thinks!
**[03:11] ---**
Popp...
**[03:16] ---**
Curse them!
**[03:17] ---**
Just sit back!
**[03:19] ---**
But you were wounded rescuing me!
**[03:37] ---**
What was that?
**[03:38] ---**
Are you immortal?!
**[03:42] ---**
Big Guy's surrounded!
**[03:44] ---**
I'll go help them!
**[03:46] ---**
Huh? I thought your Refractor Fist
only works on living creatures.
**[03:50] ---**
Will it work on those things?
**[03:54] ---**
For enemies like that...
**[03:56] ---**
you use brute force!
**[04:14] ---**
Wow. I won't be teasing her any time soon!
**[04:19] ---**
Hold on! You're up against me,
you colossus!
**[04:23] ---**
I'll blow your head off!
**[04:26] ---**
Boom!
**[04:28] ---**
There! That should open a hole in you!
**[04:33] ---**
It did, but not by much!
**[04:37] ---**
And now a fly.
**[04:39] ---**
Miasmas, take him down.
**[04:46] ---**
These guys cast magic impair spells!
**[04:50] ---**
Fizzle!
**[04:55] ---**
Are you kidding me?!
**[05:03] ---**
*Hurry.*
**[05:04] ---**
*Hurry and finish!*
**[05:08] ---**
Dai.
**[05:09] ---**
Relax yourself.
Your agitation will affect the sword.
**[05:16] ---**
Don't worry.
**[05:17] ---**
Once this is complete, you will be able
to fight any enemy on equal ground.
**[05:23] ---**
Trust me. Trust this sword.
**[05:26] ---**
And trust Jank's son and the others.
**[05:33] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[05:34] ---**
*I'm counting on you, Popp, Maam,
and everyone in Papnica!*
**[05:39] ---**
*I'll be there soon!*
**[05:46] ---**
Sizzle!
**[05:51] ---**
You won't beat us so easily!
**[05:55] ---**
Hang in there, Miss Maam!
**[05:57] ---**
I'm on my way to gallantly help you!
**[06:02] ---**
Hold on!
**[06:03] ---**
I, Baduck, Papnica's greatest
Inventor Swordsman, am coming to help!
**[06:11] ---**
*Who in the world is this?*
**[06:14] ---**
*There's too many.
I'll have to take them all out with...*
**[06:18] ---**
*Popp, I heard you used Five Finger Flares.*
**[06:23] ---**
Yeah, uh, kind of.
**[06:26] ---**
Never use it again.
**[06:27] ---**
Huh? Why?
**[06:29] ---**
That spell is practically Forbidden Magic.
**[06:32] ---**
Only a creature with no regard
for its own life can use it.
**[06:35] ---**
It'll shorten a normal human's lifespan.
**[06:40] ---**
I know it's for your friends,
but if you keep that sort of thing up...
**[06:45] ---**
Mentor! Are you...
**[06:48] ---**
Mentor, you didn't...
**[06:50] ---**
It won't be long now.
**[06:53] ---**
Shortened as it is,
a hundred years is still too long.
**[06:57] ---**
Considering how short Avan and Roka got.
**[07:03] ---**
Listen, Popp. You're still young.
**[07:07] ---**
Don't worry.
In time, you'll learn powerful spells.
**[07:12] ---**
*Do you understand?*
**[07:15] ---**
What an army!
**[07:17] ---**
Don't stop!
Show an opening and they'll take it!
**[07:20] ---**
Help is here!
**[07:29] ---**
Look out!
**[07:33] ---**
Huh?!
**[07:36] ---**
*Hmm. That one has spirit.*
**[07:40] ---**
Everyone...!
**[07:42] ---**
*Don't worry.
In time, you'll learn powerful spells.*
**[07:47] ---**
In time...
**[07:49] ---**
In time...
**[07:50] ---**
In time is too late!
**[07:52] ---**
I need it now, Mentor!
**[07:56] ---**
Five Finger Flares!
**[08:04] ---**
Holy cow! When did he learn that?!
**[08:08] ---**
Popp...!
**[08:09] ---**
We need to keep up! Here we go!
**[08:11] ---**
Right!
**[08:13] ---**
Roar, Vortex Axe!
**[08:30] ---**
Everybody! Scatter!
**[08:35] ---**
Boom!
**[08:53] ---**
H-How's that?! I got them all!
**[08:58] ---**
Popp, are you okay?!
**[09:00] ---**
Yeah I'm fine. I'm just a little tired.
**[09:04] ---**
All that's left is the colossus.
**[09:16] ---**
What?!
**[09:16] ---**
*Did you think it was over, you fools?*
**[09:21] ---**
*My Shadow Legion is an immortal force.*
**[09:23] ---**
*So long as they have Dark Aura,
they will continue to resurrect!*
**[09:28] ---**
*In Sovereign Rock Castle's right chest,
the Lung Chamber,*
**[09:32] ---**
*new Armoured Warriors
are constantly imbued with Dark Aura.*
**[09:37] ---**
The Lung Chamber?!
**[09:38] ---**
That's right. Sovereign Rock Castle
had such a forbidden chamber.
**[09:44] ---**
Then their army...
**[09:46] ---**
...is infinite?!
**[09:49] ---**
W-What do we do?!
**[09:51] ---**
D-Dammit!
**[09:55] ---**
We... We might be done for!
**[10:05] ---**
This is...?!
**[10:06] ---**
You disappoint me, Popp!
**[10:09] ---**
If you're really a Disciple of Avan,
don't whine over enemies like this!
**[10:15] ---**
Just defeat them all! No matter
how many times they're resurrected!
**[10:21] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[10:22] ---**
You came!
**[10:23] ---**
It was getting too noisy
to focus on training.
**[10:27] ---**
I came to silence them.
**[10:30] ---**
*Hmph! What a show-off!*
**[10:32] ---**
*Showing up at the perfect moment as usual!*
**[10:37] ---**
*Another strange guy.*
**[10:40] ---**
*Maybe Miss Maam is
more popular than I imagined.*
**[10:43] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[10:44] ---**
You seem well, Maam.
**[10:46] ---**
But we can reminisce
after we defeat that behemoth.
**[10:54] ---**
*I see your overconfidence
hasn't changed, Hyunckel.*
**[10:58] ---**
Come out of there, Mystvearn!
You're going to be defeated by me anyways!
**[11:04] ---**
Why don't you save me the trouble?!
**[11:08] ---**
*You don't know...*
**[11:09] ---**
*the power of my Shadow Legion,*
**[11:12] ---**
*and the terror of
Dark King Vearn's Sovereign Rock Castle.*
**[11:15] ---**
That's the ultimate armour
of the Shadow Legion that Flazzard used!
**[11:22] ---**
*Go forth, Dead Armours.*
**[11:26] ---**
Three of them...
**[11:27] ---**
Stand back.
**[11:29] ---**
Huh?! By yourself?!
**[11:31] ---**
I thought you'd only begun training!
**[11:34] ---**
The essence of the Avan Style
isn't about the weapon.
**[11:37] ---**
The basics of Earth, Sea, and Air,
once mastered are easily applied.
**[11:44] ---**
Babysit Popp for me.
**[11:46] ---**
What was that?!
Are you picking a fight?!
**[11:50] ---**
Look out! They're coming!
**[11:54] ---**
Earth Strike!
**[11:58] ---**
Look out!
**[12:01] ---**
He's fast!
**[12:06] ---**
That first attack was Earth Strike,
a powerful attack like Earth Slash.
**[12:12] ---**
And this was Avan Style Spear Technique's
fastest attack, Wave Strike.
**[12:19] ---**
It hardly bears mentioning,
but my strongest attack,
**[12:23] ---**
remains just as powerful,
even with a different weapon!
**[12:27] ---**
That stance!
**[12:28] ---**
Bloody Scryde!
**[12:34] ---**
Amazing, Hyunckel!
**[12:36] ---**
He easily wiped out enemies
we previously struggled against!
**[12:41] ---**
Dammit. I hate to admit it,
but he really is powerful.
**[12:44] ---**
He's a genius.
**[12:47] ---**
That's Grand Cross!
**[12:49] ---**
Enough with the games.
**[12:52] ---**
Come out or I blow away the castle's head
with you in it, Mystvearn!
**[13:07] ---**
It stopped!
**[13:15] ---**
There you are, Mystvearn!
**[13:17] ---**
All of you back off.
**[13:19] ---**
Don't be stupid!
I'm not letting you show off any more!
**[13:22] ---**
I said back off!
**[13:26] ---**
Hmph! What's his problem?
**[13:29] ---**
Forgive him.
**[13:31] ---**
Mystvearn taught Hyunckel
the Dark Technique
**[13:34] ---**
back when he was in the Dark Army.
**[13:37] ---**
What?!
**[13:38] ---**
If Avan is his Master of Light,
Mystvearn is his Master of Darkness.
**[13:44] ---**
This is a battle between
the Master of Darkness and his pupil.
**[13:48] ---**
For Hyunckel,
it's settling his own dark past.
**[13:52] ---**
Looks like you're finally ready
to fight me, Mystvearn.
**[14:01] ---**
BLOODY SCRYDE
**[14:06] ---**
DARK PUPPETRY AURA HAND
**[14:09] ---**
Let me make one thing clear.
**[14:11] ---**
Your pitiful attack
wouldn't scratch Sovereign Rock Castle.
**[14:15] ---**
But I have chosen to reveal myself.
**[14:17] ---**
You betrayed the Dark Army,
and embarrassed me in front of King Vearn.
**[14:23] ---**
I intend to kill you by my own hands.
**[14:26] ---**
You've become quite the chatterbox.
**[14:28] ---**
Even when you trained me,
you barely said anything.
**[14:34] ---**
Don't worry about it.
I'll make you like you used to be.
**[14:39] ---**
Once I kill you, you'll be quiet forever!
**[14:45] ---**
Not possible. Not with your strength.
**[14:48] ---**
Are you running?!
**[15:01] ---**
Check out that flurry of attacks!
**[15:03] ---**
Do it!
**[15:11] ---**
*What was that?! What did he do?!*
**[15:13] ---**
Such hastily learned spear skills
can't match my killing blow.
**[15:18] ---**
See if they're hastily learned
for yourself!
**[15:23] ---**
Avan Stye Spear Technique, Wave Strike!
**[15:26] ---**
Byut Deathstringer!
**[15:29] ---**
*His finger!
Rapidly stretching steel claws!*
**[15:34] ---**
But I can see it!
**[15:36] ---**
Fool. This attack can be done
with any finger.
**[15:41] ---**
Th-This is...!
**[15:43] ---**
That skill!
**[15:45] ---**
Dark Puppetry Aura Hand!
**[15:47] ---**
As a skill of darkness,
I never intended to use it again.
**[15:51] ---**
But it'll make a fitting end for you!
**[15:53] ---**
Die by the skill you taught me!
**[15:57] ---**
Now pierce yourself with your own hand!
**[16:05] ---**
Do it!
**[16:13] ---**
What...?!
**[16:14] ---**
I-Impossible!
**[16:19] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[16:20] ---**
This can't be!
**[16:22] ---**
My... My Dark Puppetry Aura Hand
is perfect!
**[16:26] ---**
You've said yourself
that it surpassed yours!
**[16:30] ---**
I thought so.
**[16:32] ---**
You're weaker than when you were
the Undead Legion Commander.
**[16:36] ---**
What?!
**[16:38] ---**
Having sided with justice,
your Dark Aura is not what it was!
**[16:46] ---**
What are you...?!
**[16:49] ---**
Did your father never give you a toy?
**[16:53] ---**
What?!
**[16:57] ---**
That's what happens to broken toys.
**[17:03] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[17:09] ---**
M-Maam?!
**[17:11] ---**
Maam!
**[17:13] ---**
You idiot! That was too reckless!
**[17:15] ---**
Indeed.
**[17:19] ---**
H-How did he...?!
**[17:20] ---**
I suppose it was more
pointless than reckless.
**[17:25] ---**
To sustain wounds
for one as useless as him.
**[17:29] ---**
Don't be stupid! An adept warrior
like Hyunckel isn't useless!
**[17:33] ---**
He was only adept when he was
a Dark Swordsman in the Dark Army.
**[17:39] ---**
Now he's just a mongrel
with some skills in Light and Darkness.
**[17:44] ---**
How dare you!
I've never neglected my training!
**[17:49] ---**
I learned the Avan Style Spear Technique!
I may have gotten stronger,
**[17:53] ---**
but I wouldn't have become weaker!
**[17:55] ---**
The reason is simple.
Your Dark Aura has diminished in power.
**[18:02] ---**
It once overflowed with hate for Avan.
Hate which I taught you to control.
**[18:08] ---**
But the great King Vearn saw through you.
**[18:12] ---**
He saw the deeply buried feelings
you had for Avan.
**[18:18] ---**
*Deep down, you admired and
were grateful for Avan's kindness.*
**[18:24] ---**
*Your single-minded obsession with revenge
made you bury such feelings.*
**[18:29] ---**
*As a result, you possessed
polar opposite energies.*
**[18:33] ---**
*Your body contained both
the Aura of Justice and the Dark Aura.*
**[18:39] ---**
*It made you the ultimate warrior.*
**[18:41] ---**
*A body wielding
the powers of both good and evil.*
**[18:45] ---**
*That was the secret
to your undying strength.*
**[18:51] ---**
Having awakened to justice and using
Aura of Light attacks like Grand Cross,
**[18:57] ---**
your power is only half what it was.
**[19:00] ---**
You cannot defeat my true Dark Power.
**[19:04] ---**
You lie! I won't believe it!
**[19:08] ---**
Hyunckel...!
**[19:09] ---**
Die, Hyunckel.
**[19:11] ---**
I shall dispose of my mistake myself.
**[19:15] ---**
You won't harm Hyunckel! I'll fight you!
**[19:18] ---**
Maam!
**[19:18] ---**
And it's not just Maam!
Don't forget we're here, too!
**[19:24] ---**
That's right!
**[19:26] ---**
Even you can't fight all of us at once!
**[19:32] ---**
Foolish insects. You can't even see
you're already caught in my web.
**[19:36] ---**
What?!
**[19:38] ---**
What is this spider web-like thing?!
**[19:42] ---**
Dark Puppetry Aura Decimation Field!
**[19:49] ---**
This is Dark Puppetry Aura Hand!
**[19:51] ---**
He's caught everyone here at once?!
**[19:55] ---**
*Unbelievable! Is this the depths
of Mystvearn's Dark Aura?!*
**[20:01] ---**
*He's unbeatable!*
**[20:03] ---**
*I'll have to resist him with my own
Dark Power to fight!*
**[20:08] ---**
I'm the only one who can move
within the Decimation Field.
**[20:12] ---**
What will you do, Hyunckel?
**[20:14] ---**
If you don't believe me,
**[20:16] ---**
try to stop this flow of Aura
with your own Dark Power.
**[20:23] ---**
Curse you...
**[20:25] ---**
Curse you...!
**[20:27] ---**
Mystvearn!
**[20:28] ---**
Don't, Hyunckel!
**[20:30] ---**
*Let my wrath burn!*
**[20:33] ---**
*Let my hate and malice towards him boil!*
**[20:38] ---**
You can't!
**[20:39] ---**
The power... The Dark Power!
**[20:43] ---**
You won't move a finger
with darkness like that.
**[20:47] ---**
*Hate... Hate him!*
**[20:50] ---**
*Just as I once hated Avan!*
**[20:54] ---**
Don't do it!
**[20:59] ---**
Maam?!
**[21:01] ---**
We might all die
if you don't regain your power of evil.
**[21:09] ---**
But I can't bear to see
those ruthless eyes again!
**[21:17] ---**
If you're going to fight,
fight with only the power of good.
**[21:22] ---**
I know you can win!
**[21:24] ---**
Maam...
**[21:27] ---**
I see you've stopped resisting. So be it.
**[21:31] ---**
You can die together!
**[21:34] ---**
Byut Deathstringer!
**[21:43] ---**
W-What?! My Decimation Field?!
**[21:46] ---**
I almost made
the same foolish mistake again!
**[21:49] ---**
I...
**[21:51] ---**
I choose... the Light of Justice!
**[22:04] ---**
*Even if you face the devil
With logic on your side*
**[22:04] ---**
*tatoe akuma ni seiron kazashite

overwhelms even Hyunckel's Aura of Light.*

THE STRONGEST SWORD
**[01:50] ---**
I choose... the Light of Justice!
**[02:02] ---**
What was that strike?
**[02:04] ---**
He broke
the Dark Puppetry Aura Decimation Field?!
**[02:07] ---**
That attack was like Dai's Air Slash!
**[02:11] ---**
What?!
**[02:13] ---**
That attack I just used
in my desperation...
**[02:18] ---**
That was the Avan Style
Spear Technique, Air Strike!
**[02:22] ---**
The Air technique that only a true
warrior of justice can use...
**[02:26] ---**
I was finally able to use it!
**[02:30] ---**
You did it, Hyunckel!
**[02:33] ---**
The greatest of the Avan Style Techniques,
the Air technique!
**[02:37] ---**
It's thanks to you, Maam.
**[02:42] ---**
Your voice called me back from
the allure of the great power of darkness.
**[02:49] ---**
Hyunckel...
**[02:52] ---**
I swear this to you now.
**[02:55] ---**
Even should I die, I shall follow
the will of justice to my last breath!
**[03:02] ---**
Hey! His Aura Storm
hasn't completely stopped yet!
**[03:11] ---**
Curse you, Hyunckel!
**[03:24] ---**
A man's face?!
**[03:27] ---**
Mystvearn!
**[03:31] ---**
You saw it!
**[03:50] ---**
Ow! Ow!
**[03:53] ---**
*His power is even greater than before!*
**[03:59] ---**
You filth!
**[04:02] ---**
You dare... You dare reveal my face!
**[04:08] ---**
The face I must never reveal to anyone!
**[04:13] ---**
O-Oh come on! I didn't see anything!
**[04:17] ---**
Silence!
**[04:19] ---**
Ow!
**[04:21] ---**
*He's enraged?! The cool and collected
Mystvearn of all people?!*
**[04:26] ---**
*How vital of a secret
could that face hold?!*
**[04:30] ---**
*Dammit! If I can use Air Strike again...!*
**[04:39] ---**
Why can't I use the Aura of Justice?!
**[04:42] ---**
Your abilities are underdeveloped!
**[04:44] ---**
What could you possibly do to stop me?!
**[04:51] ---**
The least I can do for King Vearn is
to unleash suffering worse than hell
**[04:57] ---**
on the people of this country
before their death!
**[05:02] ---**
Cry! Scream! And be torn apart!
**[05:17] ---**
The giant castle isn't moving!
**[05:21] ---**
They must be keeping it busy!
**[05:23] ---**
Princess!
**[05:27] ---**
Help the leaders escape
before the enemy finds us!
**[05:30] ---**
Yes, Princess!
**[05:31] ---**
What?!
**[05:33] ---**
Why won't you use
all your country's might to face them?!
**[05:36] ---**
You would run?!
You would abandon your own country?!
**[05:41] ---**
A country is nothing without its people.
**[05:45] ---**
Our survival is our top priority!
**[05:50] ---**
I won't run! I'll fight until the end!
**[05:53] ---**
Take a look around you!
**[05:55] ---**
Your vessel and troops
were decimated by that giant!
**[05:58] ---**
Over there!
**[06:04] ---**
A monster?!
**[06:08] ---**
So there you are.
**[06:10] ---**
Frizz!
**[06:16] ---**
Sizz!
**[06:19] ---**
A Fizzle spell!
**[06:23] ---**
They've found us!
**[06:34] ---**
So this is...?!
**[06:35] ---**
Yes. It's complete.
**[06:38] ---**
This is the world's strongest sword.
**[06:41] ---**
What will you call it?
**[06:46] ---**
This sword was forged for Dai.
There is no other like it.
**[06:52] ---**
Therefore, its name...
**[06:59] ---**
can be none other than the Sword of Dai!
**[07:04] ---**
The Sword of Dai.
**[07:06] ---**
The sword that was forged just for me!
**[07:37] ---**
It's like it's drawn to my hand!
**[07:41] ---**
With this...!
**[07:49] ---**
What's wrong?
**[07:51] ---**
Huh?!
**[07:53] ---**
What's with this sword?!
It's locked and I can't draw it!
**[07:59] ---**
I told you.
**[08:01] ---**
That sword has a soul.
**[08:03] ---**
It chooses when and where it fights.
**[08:07] ---**
What? That sounds kind of finicky.
**[08:10] ---**
You'll see why soon enough.
**[08:13] ---**
But if I can't draw it...
**[08:15] ---**
When you require true power in battle,
**[08:20] ---**
the Sword of Dai will respond
to your spirit and break its own seal.
**[08:29] ---**
I understand.
**[08:40] ---**
*Master Mystvearn.*
**[08:43] ---**
Shadow, have you found them?
**[08:45] ---**
Yes master. The leaders of the world
are in the Grand Chapel.
**[08:50] ---**
They found them!
**[08:51] ---**
Good. Take Sovereign Rock Castle
and slaughter the leaders.
**[08:57] ---**
As you command.
**[08:59] ---**
Oh no!
**[09:16] ---**
It's moving!
**[09:17] ---**
It's headed this way!
**[09:19] ---**
Everybody, get inside!
**[09:28] ---**
Okay!
**[09:29] ---**
Be sure to tell me
how it performs when you can.
**[09:32] ---**
Sure! Thank you so much, Lon Beruk!
**[09:36] ---**
You two as well!
**[09:38] ---**
Dai... Our son...
**[09:41] ---**
Do look after Popp for us.
**[09:43] ---**
If he ever gets in the way,
feel free to toss him aside, Dai.
**[09:47] ---**
Don't worry about him.
**[09:49] ---**
Popp is a lot stronger
than you give him credit for!
**[09:57] ---**
Well, I'm off.
**[10:04] ---**
Zoom!
**[10:20] ---**
Dammit! I have to do something!
**[10:27] ---**
He's using an extra Aura Hand
on Hyunckel?!
**[10:30] ---**
As for you, I shall tear you apart
by my own hand!
**[10:36] ---**
Why do you obsess over just me?!
**[10:39] ---**
Is it because I'm awakening to
**[10:42] ---**
the Avan Style Air technique
that can vanquish the Dark Aura?
**[10:46] ---**
Or is it because...
**[10:49] ---**
I'm the only one who might
uncover the secret to your face?!
**[10:54] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[11:00] ---**
Die! You shall not speak another word!
**[11:10] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[11:25] ---**
Who dares?!
**[11:28] ---**
Who do you think it is?!
**[11:31] ---**
If anyone besides Hyunckel
can break the Aura Hand...
**[11:34] ---**
It's gotta be him!
**[11:42] ---**
Dai!
**[11:47] ---**
AVAN STRASH
**[11:52] ---**
DARK PUPPETRY AURA HAND
**[11:56] ---**
So it's you, Dai.
**[11:58] ---**
Indeed, your mastery of Air Slash
makes you the only one
**[12:02] ---**
who can completely cleave my Dark Aura.
**[12:05] ---**
*That's true. But...*
**[12:10] ---**
*why with the Knife of Papnica?!*
**[12:13] ---**
So you were seeking a new sword.
**[12:17] ---**
Very well.
**[12:19] ---**
Can that sword endure
the power of a Dragon Knight?
**[12:26] ---**
Come and show me!
**[12:29] ---**
Well? Show me!
**[12:34] ---**
No thanks!
**[12:35] ---**
What?!
**[12:36] ---**
My sword says
that you're not worth showing!
**[12:41] ---**
Little brat. You and your arrogance!
**[12:44] ---**
You can be swallowed and die
in my Decimation Field, too!
**[12:50] ---**
Avan Style Sword Technique...
**[12:54] ---**
Air Slash!
**[13:01] ---**
I can move!
**[13:05] ---**
Is everybody all right?!
**[13:12] ---**
*If he were to use this power
with his new sword...*
**[13:17] ---**
What's wrong with your new sword?!
Is it incomplete?!
**[13:21] ---**
That's not it. This sword...
**[13:24] ---**
Look out!
**[13:35] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[13:36] ---**
His shield is a boomerang?!
**[13:39] ---**
Just how many weapons have you got?!
**[13:42] ---**
Dai, leave him to me!
**[13:44] ---**
But you're wounded!
**[13:46] ---**
Look!
**[13:50] ---**
It's headed for the Grand Chapel!
**[13:52] ---**
No ordinary power will work
against Sovereign Rock Castle.
**[13:56] ---**
But with your power...
**[13:59] ---**
Your actions are futile!
**[14:06] ---**
*He really is beginning to learn
the Air technique!*
**[14:13] ---**
Go Dai!
**[14:15] ---**
That's right, Dai!
We can still fight here!
**[14:19] ---**
Protect Leona and the others!
**[14:26] ---**
Got it!
**[14:30] ---**
Watch this, everybody!
**[14:32] ---**
This is the power of the sword
that Lon Beruk forged!
**[14:42] ---**
*Shadow, hurry and crush the Grand Chapel!*
**[14:46] ---**
Yes master!
**[14:56] ---**
There's nowhere left to run.
**[15:01] ---**
*Was everyone... Were they all defeated?*
**[15:11] ---**
Forgive me, fellow leaders.
**[15:15] ---**
Had I known they were this powerful,
**[15:17] ---**
I would have focused on evacuating
instead of facing them.
**[15:23] ---**
It's one thing to die for my own rashness,
**[15:27] ---**
but to drag you all into this with me...
**[15:31] ---**
It's shameful.
**[15:33] ---**
King Bengarna, it's too early to give up.
**[15:36] ---**
That's right! Giving up before any of us
would be true shame!
**[15:46] ---**
You're right.
**[16:27] ---**
Dai!
**[16:29] ---**
Okay, my sword!
**[16:31] ---**
Now's the time to lend me your power!
**[16:46] ---**
What?!
**[16:47] ---**
He's facing that giant with a sword?!
**[16:50] ---**
There it is!
That's Dai's most powerful sword!
**[17:01] ---**
*Fool! A sword can't cut a castle!*
**[17:05] ---**
*Insolent brat!
I'll crush you along with the others!*
**[17:19] ---**
*It's opening!*
**[17:54] ---**
*W-What happened?!*
**[18:04] ---**
*What?!*
**[18:14] ---**
*Impossible! You cut through
the Dark Army's Sovereign Rock Castle?!*
**[18:19] ---**
How did he do that?!
**[18:23] ---**
So that's the most powerful sword!
**[18:37] ---**
*Wow! With just a normal attack
it was like slicing open the sky!*
**[18:43] ---**
*What would happen
if I were to use all of my power?!*
**[18:49] ---**
*Curse you!*
**[18:57] ---**
*Open all cannon bays!*
**[18:59] ---**
*Reduce him to dust
with the might of Sovereign Rock Castle!*
**[19:04] ---**
I don't think so!
**[19:06] ---**
Draconic Aura!
**[19:11] ---**
Dai's Draconic Aura is going up his sword!
**[19:25] ---**
*Fire!*
**[19:55] ---**
Where?! Where did he go?!
**[19:58] ---**
The central chamber?!
Right under this throne?!
**[20:07] ---**
Take this!
**[20:14] ---**
Master Mystvearn!
**[21:10] ---**
He cut the giant castle in half!
**[21:12] ---**
Holy cow!
**[21:14] ---**
Hooray! Take that!
**[21:23] ---**
Amazing!
**[21:25] ---**
Dai?! Where's Dai?!
**[21:34] ---**
There!
**[21:45] ---**
A true Hero!
**[21:47] ---**
He did it!
**[22:04] ---**
*Even if you face the devil
With logic on your side*
**[22:04] ---**

THE FIELD OF DEATH
**[01:59] ---**
Here.
**[02:00] ---**
Jank.
**[02:01] ---**
Have a drink.
**[02:03] ---**
How generous.
**[02:05] ---**
Growing older has changed you.
**[02:07] ---**
You're one to talk.
**[02:09] ---**
The life of a Darkling is uneventful.
**[02:13] ---**
We live much longer than humans,
so many of us are lazy.
**[02:18] ---**
Some lives can last centuries
yet still be empty.
**[02:25] ---**
Delicious. Not many
can feel what I feel now.
**[02:30] ---**
Right now, I feel truly fulfilled.
**[02:34] ---**
That sword was well forged.
**[02:56] ---**
A true Hero!
**[02:57] ---**
He did it!
**[03:09] ---**
*What an incredible power.*
**[03:12] ---**
That sword has a soul.
It chooses when and where it fights.
**[03:18] ---**
I get it. A weapon this destructive
shouldn't be used just anywhere.
**[03:24] ---**
That's why you seal yourself away.
**[03:29] ---**
I'll only borrow your strength to fight
truly powerful enemies or save everybody.
**[03:38] ---**
Glad to have you with me, my sword!
**[03:41] ---**
Dai!
**[03:48] ---**
Huh? What?!
**[03:49] ---**
Oh come on, Dai!
**[03:52] ---**
He must have gone
to help the others fight.
**[03:54] ---**
There's still one more
source of evil energy.
**[03:57] ---**
The enemy leader wasn't in the castle?
**[04:02] ---**
What's wrong?!
**[04:04] ---**
I sense something horrible
is about to erupt forth!
**[04:09] ---**
Wait, Merle!
**[04:10] ---**
Dai, hurry!
**[04:11] ---**
They're all...
Popp and the others are in danger!
**[04:19] ---**
You may have lost your trump card,
but this is unlike you!
**[04:23] ---**
You're wide open, Mystvearn!
**[04:26] ---**
Air Strike!
**[04:30] ---**
*He didn't even try to dodge!*
**[04:36] ---**
*That's his Dark Aura!*
**[04:38] ---**
What a... disgraceful failure!
**[04:42] ---**
King Vearn's
Sovereign Rock Castle in ruins!
**[04:46] ---**
This is because I failed to realize
the power of Dai's new sword!
**[04:52] ---**
It's my...
**[04:53] ---**
It's my fault!
**[05:02] ---**
How do you like that?!
**[05:05] ---**
That's what you get
for underestimating us!
**[05:09] ---**
Now to finish you with my spell!
**[05:11] ---**
Wait! Wait, Popp! Don't attack recklessly!
**[05:14] ---**
Burn to ashes!
**[05:17] ---**
Sizzle!
**[05:40] ---**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[05:42] ---**
Yow, yow, yow!
**[05:45] ---**
He reflected my spell?!
**[05:47] ---**
No, it was like he amplified it
and fired it back!
**[05:52] ---**
*Its impact was closer to
that of a Kasizz spell.*
**[05:56] ---**
*Dark Puppetry Aura Decimation Field
and Byut Deathstringer...*
**[05:59] ---**
*Are they just a fraction
of his true power?!*
**[06:04] ---**
So be it!
**[06:06] ---**
I must shed my Shadow Raiment
and erase Dai and all of you right here!
**[06:15] ---**
That's when you shall realize
**[06:18] ---**
being crushed by Sovereign Rock Castle
or being torn apart by my Dark Aura
**[06:24] ---**
would have been a far better way to die!
**[06:28] ---**
What is that power?!
**[06:29] ---**
Compared to that giant castle,
the pressure coming from Mystvearn is...
**[06:35] ---**
It's way bigger!
**[06:45] ---**
*I've always assumed the source
of Mystvearn's power was his Dark Aura.*
**[06:50] ---**
*But that Dark Aura
wasn't his greatest weapon.*
**[06:54] ---**
*Could it just have been a veil
hiding his true form?!*
**[06:58] ---**
Now witness my true power...
The power of Mystvearn!
**[07:22] ---**
...And stop.
**[07:24] ---**
That's enough right there, Myst.
**[07:27] ---**
Kill...
**[07:29] ---**
That's Killvearn, the Reaper!
**[07:32] ---**
What?!
**[07:33] ---**
The Reaper?!
**[07:34] ---**
Him?!
**[07:36] ---**
Bad boy! Bad boy!
King Vearn's gonna be mad!
**[07:42] ---**
That's right.
**[07:43] ---**
Your true form,
no matter the circumstances,
**[07:47] ---**
can only be revealed
with King Vearn's permission, can it not?
**[07:52] ---**
Disobey that and, friend or not,
I'll be forced to intervene.
**[08:02] ---**
You're right.
**[08:07] ---**
Apologize! Apologize!
**[08:09] ---**
Exactly.
**[08:11] ---**
Sovereign Rock Castle is only
one of King Vearn's many toys.
**[08:16] ---**
With a sincere apology, he's sure
to forgive his precious little Myst.
**[08:21] ---**
Better that than
adding to your shame here.
**[08:28] ---**
Understood. I will never fail again.
**[08:31] ---**
And it's back to silent mode, is it?
**[08:37] ---**
Well then...
**[08:38] ---**
Now everybody, with that...
**[08:41] ---**
He's coming!
**[08:43] ---**
...we'll be excusing ourselves now.
**[08:46] ---**
Huh?!
**[08:47] ---**
You're running?!
**[08:48] ---**
Dai's sword was quite impressive,
destroying Sovereign Rock Castle and all.
**[08:53] ---**
Tell him congratulations on completing it.
**[08:56] ---**
Now he doesn't have to worry
about his friends being useless.
**[09:00] ---**
What?!
**[09:01] ---**
Oh, especially you. You couldn't
do a thing to Sovereign Rock Castle.
**[09:06] ---**
Yeah! Useless!
**[09:09] ---**
Well then. See you again.
**[09:12] ---**
Hey! Wait!
**[09:18] ---**
After all that...
After all you did to this country...
**[09:23] ---**
Don't think you can insult us
and get away with it!
**[09:28] ---**
Wait, Popp!
**[09:29] ---**
Don't!
**[09:30] ---**
Popp!
**[09:38] ---**
*You won't get away!
This time, I'm finding your stronghold!*
**[09:45] ---**
That idiot!
**[09:46] ---**
Hey!
**[09:48] ---**
Dai!
**[09:49] ---**
Are you okay? I sensed a huge power here.
**[09:53] ---**
That can wait!
**[09:55] ---**
Popp flew off alone
chasing after the enemy!
**[10:00] ---**
You're the only one here
who can catch up to them!
**[10:03] ---**
Please! You have to bring Popp back!
**[10:06] ---**
He's lost his cool!
**[10:09] ---**
Got it!
**[10:10] ---**
They went northwest!
**[10:16] ---**
Will they be okay?
**[10:18] ---**
Hyunckel, you know that
the power of Dai's crest is limited.
**[10:24] ---**
Yeah.
**[10:25] ---**
You'd expect Dai to have flown back here
after destroying Sovereign Rock Castle.
**[10:32] ---**
But he came on foot.
**[10:34] ---**
That's right!
**[10:35] ---**
He must have spent a lot of energy
destroying Sovereign Rock Castle.
**[10:40] ---**
He was subunconsciously
conserving his power.
**[10:45] ---**
I didn't have a choice.
Popp was heading to certain death.
**[10:49] ---**
What?!
**[10:51] ---**
Killvearn is the one tasked
with killing us Legion Commanders!
**[10:56] ---**
What?!
**[10:58] ---**
No one in the Dark Army
has ever seen him before.
**[11:04] ---**
If he ever appeared before anyone,
it would mean their death was certain.
**[11:11] ---**
He's that dangerous?!
**[11:14] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[11:16] ---**
Dai, you have to bring Popp back...
**[11:19] ---**
Just don't fight... head-on!
**[11:25] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[11:27] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[11:46] ---**
W-Where am I?
**[11:50] ---**
This place is...
**[11:52] ---**
north of Orzam!
**[11:55] ---**
I was so focused on flying.
Could this be...
**[12:01] ---**
The Field of Death?!
Is this the stronghold of the Dark Army?!
**[12:08] ---**
CRACKLE
ICE-TYPE SPELL
**[12:13] ---**
DARK PUPPETRY AURA HAND
**[12:18] ---**
*There's no mistake.
This is the infamous Field of Death.*
**[12:22] ---**
*Some call it the world's edge
or the last unexplored land.*
**[12:25] ---**
*It's a dark island devoid of any life.*
**[12:28] ---**
*No one has ever approached it
and returned.*
**[12:33] ---**
*I get it. It's the perfect place
for the Dark Army to use as a base.*
**[12:38] ---**
*I bet Vearn, the Dark King, is here.*
**[12:43] ---**
*I may have gotten in over my head.*
**[12:46] ---**
*I need to learn to control myself.*
**[12:51] ---**
A flute?
**[12:59] ---**
Killvearn!
**[13:08] ---**
B-Both of you?!
**[13:13] ---**
Foolish little boy.
**[13:15] ---**
Did you really think you could
keep up with us if we were serious?
**[13:21] ---**
We flew slow enough so you could
and you fell for it.
**[13:27] ---**
Dummy! Dummy!
**[13:30] ---**
Oh yeah?! Then why reveal
where your stronghold is?!
**[13:34] ---**
You Disciples of Avan
have grown rather strong.
**[13:39] ---**
I figured I should get around
to doing my job.
**[13:44] ---**
Your job?! What's that?!
**[13:55] ---**
*What was that?!*
**[13:56] ---**
*Something felt very wrong!*
**[14:01] ---**
Surely you've guessed by now.
**[14:03] ---**
The way I'm dressed, my title of Reaper,
and everything I've said and done.
**[14:13] ---**
As-sas-si-na-tion.
**[14:18] ---**
Whoa!
**[14:23] ---**
*What the...?! His scythe
wasn't even close to me!*
**[14:28] ---**
Strange, isn't it?
**[14:33] ---**
Wow!
**[14:36] ---**
How's that, dumb reaper?!
**[14:38] ---**
Burn! Burn!
**[14:45] ---**
You missed!
**[14:46] ---**
*What?! What's going on here?!*
**[14:50] ---**
*Am I dreaming?!*
**[14:52] ---**
Oh, it's something far more grave.
**[15:00] ---**
*An illusion! He's somehow
making me see illusions!*
**[15:12] ---**
*How?! How is he doing it?!*
**[15:16] ---**
*I didn't see him cast a spell
and he didn't use any items!*
**[15:21] ---**
*This high-pitched, whistling noise.*
**[15:25] ---**
*It's like... a flute!*
**[15:29] ---**
*Could it be...?!*
**[15:29] ---**
Bingo! That's correct!
**[15:32] ---**
If only you'd realized it
a few seconds earlier.
**[15:45] ---**
*What the...?! I can't see!*
**[15:48] ---**
*I can't move either!*
**[15:51] ---**
*What's going on?! Dammit!*
**[15:57] ---**
I'll tell you before you die.
**[16:00] ---**
My Reaper Flute isn't just
for playing sweet melodies.
**[16:05] ---**
I use it like this for my work.
**[16:08] ---**
When I swing my scythe,
air flows through the flute,
**[16:13] ---**
which emits a high-frequency tone
that can barely be heard.
**[16:18] ---**
Upon entering the ears,
this sound disrupts my opponents' vision.
**[16:25] ---**
In the end, it robs them
of all of their senses.
**[16:30] ---**
That's why it's called the Reaper Flute.
**[16:34] ---**
It's the perfect weapon
for assassinations.
**[16:38] ---**
Lovely, isn't it?
**[16:43] ---**
You pathetic dummy! Serves you right!
**[16:46] ---**
Don't mock him too much.
**[16:48] ---**
Weaklings like him who improve a little
become the heart and soul of their team.
**[16:54] ---**
He's the first of the Hero's party
you'd want to get rid of.
**[16:58] ---**
That's why we lured him here alone.
**[17:02] ---**
Then kill him already!
**[17:04] ---**
You're right, Piroro.
**[17:07] ---**
Good idea.
**[17:32] ---**
You followed us, Dai.
**[17:35] ---**
Popp, are you okay?!
**[17:37] ---**
Dai!
**[17:38] ---**
Aww! We almost got to kill him!
**[17:43] ---**
Hold on, Myst.
**[17:44] ---**
Even you need to be careful of
Dai, the Hero, when he has that sword.
**[17:50] ---**
I'll take this.
**[17:53] ---**
Dai, be careful! His Reaper Flute...!
**[18:02] ---**
Huh?! The Reaper Flute
isn't working?! Why?!
**[18:07] ---**
Oh! The Reaper Flute is cracked!
**[18:11] ---**
He did it when he blocked me earlier.
**[18:14] ---**
Good going, Dai! He uses that flute
to create illusions to kill his enemies!
**[18:19] ---**
By cracking it, you prevented him
from controlling the sound!
**[18:25] ---**
Really?
**[18:27] ---**
That was lucky!
**[18:28] ---**
We shouldn't pursue them any further.
**[18:30] ---**
Let's find an opening and escape.
**[18:33] ---**
Good idea.
**[18:35] ---**
That is if they'll let us go.
**[18:47] ---**
Looks like both sides
are out of decisive moves.
**[18:54] ---**
I see. They still have their trump card.
**[18:58] ---**
We both want to finish this,
and we both want to run.
**[19:01] ---**
This is frustrating.
Neither side can move.
**[19:06] ---**
*My sword won't come out.*
**[19:09] ---**
*What now?*
**[19:18] ---**
Popp, can you move?
**[19:19] ---**
I'm free of the illusions now.
**[19:22] ---**
It's a stalemate.
Let's attack and break through.
**[19:26] ---**
Okay!
**[19:28] ---**
They're coming!
**[19:50] ---**
Hadlar?!
**[19:51] ---**
You... You were alive?!
**[20:03] ---**
Sorry to have kept you waiting, Mystvearn.
**[20:06] ---**
I've fully powered up.
**[20:10] ---**
Now it's my turn to help you.
**[20:13] ---**
Hadlar...
**[20:14] ---**
Powered up?! Nothing's changed about him!
**[20:21] ---**
Dai, you will fight me here.
**[20:25] ---**
One on one. Fair and square.
**[20:31] ---**
What?! You're one to talk about fair!
**[20:35] ---**
I've cast aside my useless pride
and even my Darkling body for this day.
**[20:41] ---**
I have but one wish left.
**[20:46] ---**
To defeat you,
the legacy of my eternal rival, Avan!
**[20:56] ---**
*My sword! It opened its seal by itself?!*
**[21:00] ---**
*My sword realizes that Hadlar
is far more powerful than ever before!*
**[21:12] ---**
Hey! Don't use your crest at full power!
**[21:15] ---**
You need to conserve your energy!
**[21:17] ---**
No! He's not the Hadlar we knew!
**[21:20] ---**
I have to fight
with my full strength or we'll die!
**[21:26] ---**
An astute observation!
You truly are my rival!
**[21:56] ---**
I expect nothing less
from a Disciple of Avan!

THE CLASH OF POWERFUL SWORDS
**[01:51] ---**
*My sword realizes it!*
**[01:57] ---**
Hey! Don't use your crest at full power!
**[02:00] ---**
You need to conserve your energy!
**[02:02] ---**
No! He's not the Hadlar we knew!
**[02:05] ---**
I have to fight
with my full strength or we'll die!
**[02:11] ---**
An astute observation!
You truly are my rival!
**[02:39] ---**
I expect nothing less
from a Disciple of Avan!
**[02:51] ---**
Oh?
**[03:07] ---**
H-Hadlar's completely changed!
**[03:11] ---**
He's a complete monster now!
**[03:14] ---**
I've seen those features somewhere...
**[03:38] ---**
C-Could he be a Superior Being?!
**[03:41] ---**
W-What?!
**[03:44] ---**
*He was converted
using the data Zamza sent!*
**[03:49] ---**
Isn't that right, Hadlar?!
**[03:52] ---**
You'll see when you fight me.
**[03:55] ---**
You can experience it yourself.
**[03:58] ---**
This power I obtained
by sacrificing everything!
**[04:09] ---**
And realize...
**[04:12] ---**
compared to all the powerful enemies
that you've fought...
**[04:17] ---**
just how powerful I am!
**[04:38] ---**
D-Dai!
**[04:47] ---**
*Th-That's impossible!*
**[04:49] ---**
*I blocked him with
the crest power focused in my right hand!*
**[04:54] ---**
*It's numb!*
**[04:57] ---**
*I can't draw my sword like this!*
**[05:08] ---**
Boom!
**[05:21] ---**
A-A spell?! How?!
**[05:24] ---**
I thought Superior Beings
couldn't cast spells!
**[05:37] ---**
Stop, Hadlar!
**[05:39] ---**
No, you stop.
**[05:43] ---**
Hold it. We're at a ceasefire for now.
**[05:47] ---**
Out of respect for Commander Hadlar.
**[05:50] ---**
After all, this is a one-on-one duel
between him and Dai.
**[05:55] ---**
Get real! We never agreed
to any one-on-one business!
**[06:01] ---**
I believe you have an obligation
to see this duel through.
**[06:06] ---**
Hadlar can no longer become a Darkling.
**[06:10] ---**
He gave up everything for this battle.
**[06:16] ---**
Gave up?!
**[06:17] ---**
I know!
**[06:18] ---**
In order to be able to cast spells,
**[06:21] ---**
he gave up the ability to turn from
a Superior Being back to a Darkling!
**[06:27] ---**
So Hadlar is stuck
in that monster form forever!
**[06:33] ---**
That's right.
**[06:35] ---**
I hate to admit it, but as a result
he has gotten just a little stronger.
**[06:41] ---**
Yup, yup!
**[06:43] ---**
*"Just a little"?! Are you kidding me?!*
**[06:46] ---**
*A Superior Being that can cast spells?!*
**[06:49] ---**
*That's a formula for true flawlessness!*
**[06:56] ---**
I no longer care for my Darkling body!
**[07:00] ---**
In fact, by giving it up,
**[07:03] ---**
I was able to discard my foolish pride as
the Dark Lord who dominated the world!
**[07:12] ---**
True victory can never be attained
by one obsessed with reputation!
**[07:17] ---**
This is a lesson
your master Avan taught me!
**[07:31] ---**
*He's strong!*
**[07:32] ---**
*Not only that,
he's more resolute than ever before!*
**[07:37] ---**
*I can't beat him without my sword!*
**[07:39] ---**
*I need to draw it
with my left hand somehow!*
**[08:07] ---**
Boom!
**[08:11] ---**
Wave Slash!
**[08:26] ---**
Ah...
**[08:33] ---**
So that's your new sword.
**[08:40] ---**
Very well.
We shall see with your next strike,
**[08:45] ---**
whether the power within my right arm
**[08:48] ---**
is stronger than the power of your sword!
**[08:52] ---**
The power within his right arm?
**[08:54] ---**
Does he have a power
greater than those claws?!
**[08:58] ---**
N-No way!
**[09:00] ---**
I've seen the awesome destructive power
of the Sword of Dai!
**[09:06] ---**
No matter what sort of
killer attack he has,
**[09:10] ---**
it can't be stronger than that!
**[09:21] ---**
Dai, hurry up and finish it!
**[09:23] ---**
Don't forget that Superior Beings
regenerate while fighting!
**[09:28] ---**
*I know that, Popp.*
**[09:30] ---**
*I intend to finish it!*
**[09:35] ---**
*Good. The feeling's returned!*
**[09:40] ---**
Hm?
**[09:42] ---**
Draconic Aura!
**[09:49] ---**
That's...
**[09:50] ---**
Is that...?
**[09:57] ---**
Avan Strash.
**[10:00] ---**
The attack that cleaved Sovereign
Rock Castle was probably Earth Slash.
**[10:05] ---**
And he just used Wave Slash.
**[10:09] ---**
This will be the first Avan Strash
the Sword of Dai unleashes.
**[10:14] ---**
No matter what
amazing power you have hidden,
**[10:18] ---**
it can't beat this strike
I've filled with all my power!
**[10:23] ---**
Then try it.
**[10:25] ---**
If you're right, I'll be cleaved in two.
**[10:30] ---**
But I will be testing myself, too!
**[10:35] ---**
The ultimate being
said to be of divine creation...
**[10:41] ---**
A strike from such a Dragon Knight...
**[10:45] ---**
will reveal just how complete a weapon
I, Hadlar the Superior Being, have become!
**[10:54] ---**
He seems pretty confident.
I wonder what power he's gained.
**[10:59] ---**
*I won't lose!
Not while I have the Sword of Dai!*
**[11:04] ---**
*No matter who I face!*
**[11:09] ---**
*I won't lose!*
**[11:13] ---**
Here goes, Hadlar!
**[11:14] ---**
Come on!
**[11:16] ---**
Avan...
**[11:18] ---**
Strash!
**[11:26] ---**
Did it work?!
**[11:42] ---**
That's impossible!
**[11:48] ---**
A direct hit from the Sword of Dai,
and his arm isn't even cut!
**[11:52] ---**
Is his... Is Hadlar's body
harder than Orichalcum?!
**[12:00] ---**
Th-That's not it!
**[12:02] ---**
I felt the impact of something metallic!
**[12:09] ---**
That's right, Dai. I have one, too.
**[12:13] ---**
A legendary weapon equal to your own.
**[12:18] ---**
The Sword of Champions.
**[12:22] ---**
The Sword of Champions?
**[12:24] ---**
That's right! Zamza gave it to Hadlar!
**[12:28] ---**
Indeed. The real Sword of Champions...
**[12:32] ---**
is right here.
**[12:41] ---**
In my right arm!
**[12:52] ---**
AVAN STRASH
**[12:57] ---**
REAPER FLUTE
**[13:08] ---**
Yow!
**[13:09] ---**
Could this Dark Aura be...?
**[13:12] ---**
Dark Fire Energy.
**[13:14] ---**
What?!
**[13:15] ---**
Dark Fire Energy! Dark! Fire! Energy!
**[13:19] ---**
A Dark Aura that burns life energy
beyond its limits!
**[13:25] ---**
Remember that!
**[13:33] ---**
I can tell from that strike!
**[13:36] ---**
My power is on par with
that of a Dragon Knight!
**[13:40] ---**
And with an equal weapon,
my fighting power is greater!
**[13:51] ---**
Dai!
**[13:54] ---**
But I won't hold back!
**[13:56] ---**
To not fight with my fullest abilities
would be disrespectful!
**[14:03] ---**
Take this, Dai!
**[14:04] ---**
A strike I unleash
using the Sword of Champions!
**[14:20] ---**
Ultra Combustion Slash!
**[14:23] ---**
Ultra Combustion Slash?!
**[14:25] ---**
Not a bad idea.
**[14:26] ---**
By using Dark Fire Energy
along his sword,
**[14:30] ---**
the power of his attack is magnified.
**[14:33] ---**
Oh wow!
**[14:35] ---**
Dai! Run!
**[14:37] ---**
Don't get hit!
**[14:41] ---**
*I-I can't! It's too late!*
**[14:44] ---**
*I have to defend with my Draconic Aura!*
**[14:51] ---**
*My Aura's weak!*
**[14:56] ---**
Die!
**[15:03] ---**
Oh my. Did he finish him?
**[15:09] ---**
Oh! Look there!
**[15:14] ---**
A Zoom spell.
**[15:15] ---**
Popp jumped in and rescued Dai.
**[15:20] ---**
It's supposed to be one-on-one!
You cheater!
**[15:27] ---**
Hey! They're running! Get back here!
**[15:31] ---**
They won't get away!
**[15:47] ---**
Oh wow! He's super fast!
**[15:50] ---**
Let's follow them.
**[15:57] ---**
I never thought
I'd be called a cheater by them!
**[16:03] ---**
P-Popp... Why...?
**[16:06] ---**
Dai, I'll be honest with you.
**[16:09] ---**
You can't beat Hadlar alone!
**[16:15] ---**
Until now, he always tended
to give in to his emotions.
**[16:21] ---**
*That's why even I was able
to match him somehow.*
**[16:26] ---**
But Hadlar's changed!
**[16:30] ---**
He isn't just stronger
from becoming a Superior Being!
**[16:33] ---**
It's like his mind has been cleared!
**[16:36] ---**
Guys like that
who don't waver are dangerous.
**[16:40] ---**
I'd know. I've been there.
**[16:43] ---**
B-But...!
**[16:44] ---**
Enough! We're going back to Papnica!
**[16:48] ---**
We're already exhausted
from fighting Sovereign Rock Castle!
**[16:53] ---**
Here we go!
**[16:55] ---**
Zoom!
**[16:59] ---**
*Oh crap! I've used too much Magic Power!*
**[17:04] ---**
What's wrong, Popp?
**[17:07] ---**
Don't worry! Let's just run
as far as possible with Levizoom!
**[17:16] ---**
Where are you going, Popp?
**[17:19] ---**
You're headed East.
That's not the way back.
**[17:54] ---**
How do you like
my flawless Superior Being?!
**[18:00] ---**
If he defeats Dai, it will mean
he's surpassed a Dragon Knight!
**[18:06] ---**
He will be greater than
the god-created Dragon Knight!
**[18:11] ---**
Meaning I've surpassed the gods!
**[18:14] ---**
Surely it's safe to say now
that I am a god!
**[18:23] ---**
*He can already use Levizoom
without the use of his crest.*
**[18:29] ---**
*I can't take my eyes off him for a second.*
**[18:40] ---**
Dai! Don't!
**[18:42] ---**
Don't do it!
**[18:44] ---**
*Popp, run! While I'm keeping him busy!*
**[18:47] ---**
The power of your crest has faded.
**[18:50] ---**
That means your Draconic Aura is gone.
**[19:00] ---**
It looks like I win!
**[19:05] ---**
*I have to attack!*
**[19:06] ---**
*Defending with what Draconic Aura or
Magic Power I have left won't be enough!*
**[19:12] ---**
It's over! Take this!
**[19:14] ---**
*Anything! Some sort of attack that uses
all my Aura and Magic Power at once!*
**[19:20] ---**
Ultra Combustion Slash!
**[19:36] ---**
L-Look!
**[19:42] ---**
Dai!
**[19:48] ---**
N-No!
**[19:50] ---**
He got Dai?!
**[19:56] ---**
Dai!
**[19:57] ---**
Dai!
**[19:58] ---**
Dai!
**[20:00] ---**
Dai!
**[20:04] ---**
Dai!
**[20:09] ---**
Dai!
**[20:17] ---**
Th-This can't be happening!
**[20:20] ---**
The Sword of Dai
was supposed to be unrivaled!
**[20:24] ---**
Come out, Dai!
**[20:26] ---**
Get back here and fight back!
**[20:30] ---**
H-He defeated the Hero!
**[20:34] ---**
A clash between Orichalcum weapons
means conditions are matched.
**[20:39] ---**
In terms of physical strength,
a Superior Being is more powerful.
**[20:43] ---**
This is probably Hadlar's victory.
**[20:47] ---**
It's no fair. He's hogging all the glory.
**[20:58] ---**
Hadlar!
**[21:00] ---**
See? Hadlar wins.
**[21:26] ---**
A true Hero.
I'd be disappointed otherwise.
**[21:38] ---**
H-Hadlar, too?!
**[21:40] ---**
I-It was a draw?!
**[21:45] ---**
Myst, go see to Hadlar, will you?
**[21:50] ---**
I...
**[21:54] ---**
will take care of him.

THE HERO LOST IN THE GLACIER
**[01:50] ---**
I...
**[01:54] ---**
will take care of him.
**[01:58] ---**
Let's finish him this time!
**[02:00] ---**
Oh, of course.
**[02:03] ---**
Hadlar already took care of the Hero.
**[02:06] ---**
He may be a downgrade, but I would lose
face if I didn't kill a Disciple of Avan.
**[02:11] ---**
Why you...!
**[02:13] ---**
Bring it on!
I'll fight to the end alone if I have to!
**[02:18] ---**
That's right.
You have to avenge Dai, don't you?
**[02:22] ---**
He died trying to rescue you after all.
**[02:28] ---**
*That's right!
Dai was defeated because of me!*
**[02:33] ---**
*Because of my recklessness!*
**[02:36] ---**
*If I lose my head and get killed fighting,
who's going to rescue Dai?!*
**[02:42] ---**
*Remember...*
**[02:44] ---**
*a Mage must always be
the most level-headed in the party.*
**[02:51] ---**
*Mentor!*
**[02:53] ---**
*How do I use what little
Magic Power I have left?!*
**[02:57] ---**
*The one thing I can do
for Dai right now is...*
**[03:01] ---**
Come on now, little Mage.
**[03:07] ---**
Hey!
**[03:09] ---**
*All I can do is run as far as I can...*
**[03:11] ---**
*and let everyone know what happened!*
**[03:15] ---**
A wise choice.
**[03:17] ---**
He kept his cool
even after I provoked him.
**[03:30] ---**
Dammit!
**[03:43] ---**
Got you!
**[03:50] ---**
Big Guy!
**[03:51] ---**
That's right. There was another
from the Hero's party who could fly.
**[03:57] ---**
The Beast King's here!
**[03:59] ---**
Are you my opponent now?
**[04:01] ---**
Beast King Redemption Blast!
**[04:13] ---**
You're kidding.
**[04:15] ---**
The brave Beast King Crocodine
just up and ran away.
**[04:21] ---**
I've never let a target
escape me twice before.
**[04:26] ---**
That boy is beginning to irritate me.
**[04:36] ---**
Big Guy...
**[04:37] ---**
Are you okay?
**[04:39] ---**
I...
**[04:41] ---**
I...
**[04:43] ---**
I didn't want to abandon Dai and run.
**[04:46] ---**
But... there was nothing else I could do!
**[04:50] ---**
I didn't have a choice!
**[04:54] ---**
I know.
**[04:59] ---**
You'd never choose to turn tail
unless the situation was severe.
**[05:04] ---**
That's why I ran without hesitation.
**[05:10] ---**
I know the sort of man you are.
**[05:20] ---**
Let's go back to Papnica.
**[05:45] ---**
Is it done?
**[05:48] ---**
No. I doubt he's unharmed,
**[05:50] ---**
but my Ultra Combustion Slash
didn't find its mark.
**[05:55] ---**
In that instant, Dai focused
all his remaining power into an attack,
**[06:00] ---**
which defended himself
by countering my Combustion Slash.
**[06:05] ---**
What combat instincts!
What an unyielding will to fight!
**[06:10] ---**
That must be the millennia of battles
etched in the blood of the Dragon Knights.
**[06:17] ---**
*And the attack he used
in that instant was...*
**[06:21] ---**
*Gigabreak!*
**[06:23] ---**
*The spell was Zapple
and its power was weak...*
**[06:27] ---**
*but that was definitely the attack of
his father, General Baran!*
**[06:33] ---**
He may say he rejects his father,
**[06:36] ---**
but it appears that the shadow of Baran
is a great influence on Dai.
**[06:43] ---**
Like father like son.
**[06:47] ---**
Don't die yet, Dai!
**[06:49] ---**
Otherwise, I'd have to question
why I bothered becoming a monster!
**[06:56] ---**
You idiot! You stupid fool!
**[06:58] ---**
-Stop it, Chiu!
-Come here!
**[07:00] ---**
Come here, you idiot!
**[07:05] ---**
You know, I was actually beginning
to think you weren't that bad!
**[07:11] ---**
And then you went off
and put Dai in danger!
**[07:15] ---**
You call yourself a friend of the Hero?!
**[07:18] ---**
I-I'm sorry, Chiu.
**[07:22] ---**
Everyone...
**[07:23] ---**
There's no excusing what I did.
**[07:26] ---**
It's all my fault.
**[07:32] ---**
Apologizing won't fix anything!
**[07:34] ---**
-Chiu, was it?
-Huh?
**[07:36] ---**
Try to forgive him.
**[07:38] ---**
Hyunckel?
**[07:40] ---**
He's just a fledgling. It's not his fault.
**[07:44] ---**
He's got enough on his plate
saving his own hide.
**[07:49] ---**
Go get yourself patched up
and get some rest.
**[07:54] ---**
Hey! D-Don't say that!
**[07:57] ---**
I'd rather take a fist to the face
than sympathy from you!
**[08:02] ---**
Crocodine, you'll have to search for Dai.
**[08:05] ---**
Right. Got it.
**[08:07] ---**
Hey!
**[08:08] ---**
Dai probably fell in the ocean
in the far north, northwest of Orzam.
**[08:13] ---**
Please hurry.
**[08:14] ---**
Hey!
**[08:15] ---**
Dai's no normal human. I doubt he's dead.
**[08:19] ---**
Hey, rat.
**[08:21] ---**
I've got room for someone your size.
Care to come?
**[08:26] ---**
Of course!
How wise of you to bring me along!
**[08:28] ---**
W-Wait! Let me come with you!
**[08:32] ---**
This isn't for the wounded or children!
**[08:35] ---**
Hey!
**[08:37] ---**
Dammit!
**[08:39] ---**
You can't search if you can't fly.
**[08:42] ---**
I doubt you have
the Magic Power for that right now.
**[08:45] ---**
Are you kidding me?!
**[08:47] ---**
Dai's lost because of me!
I can't leave this to someone else!
**[08:51] ---**
P-Princess, please!
You've got to do something!
**[08:54] ---**
Have you got a spell or something
that can heal Magic Power?!
**[08:58] ---**
I've never heard of a spell like that.
**[09:01] ---**
Oh, but...
**[09:03] ---**
Didn't I give the Papnica Troika some
Magic Water that heals Magic Power?
**[09:08] ---**
Yes. I believe Marin has it.
**[09:12] ---**
That's it!
**[09:15] ---**
And now he's all fired up.
**[09:17] ---**
You talked to him like that
on purpose, didn't you?
**[09:20] ---**
I figured it'd be more effective
than yelling at him.
**[09:25] ---**
Healing from wounds
caused by Dark Aura takes time.
**[09:29] ---**
I can't have him being morose
while I'm stuck in bed.
**[09:34] ---**
I need him on his feet.
**[09:37] ---**
Hmm. Sometimes it's hard to tell
if you guys rely on Popp or not.
**[09:45] ---**
-Please!
-Stop!
**[09:46] ---**
-I'm begging you, Miss Marin!
-Fine! You can have some!
**[09:48] ---**
-I'm begging you!
-Okay, now let go!
**[09:50] ---**
-You've got to!
- I said yes, so let go!
**[09:52] ---**
Huh?!
**[10:02] ---**
Here he comes.
**[10:04] ---**
I bet he's worried
that I'm going to outshine him.
**[10:12] ---**
*Hold on, Dai!
I promise I'm going to rescue you!*
**[10:19] ---**
*What did you just say, Hyunckel?!*
**[10:22] ---**
I said once Dai's safety is confirmed,
we should invade the Dark Army stronghold.
**[10:28] ---**
But...
**[10:29] ---**
Sovereign Rock Castle, the enemy's
first line of defense has fallen.
**[10:33] ---**
The only remaining
pillars of the Dark Army
**[10:35] ---**
are Hadlar, Mystvearn, and Killvearn.
**[10:39] ---**
Our fight with
Dark King Vearn is drawing near.
**[10:48] ---**
BEAST KING REDEMPTION BLAST
**[10:52] ---**
ULTRA COMBUSTION SLASH
**[10:55] ---**
Right here.
**[10:57] ---**
We can assume that Dark King Vearn
is in the Field of Death.
**[11:01] ---**
Everyone, what is our course of action?
**[11:06] ---**
I agree with the Disciples of Avan.
We should invade the Field of Death.
**[11:12] ---**
Can we defeat them in an invasion?
**[11:15] ---**
We doubt we can defeat them all.
**[11:18] ---**
But if we can take even one of them down,
**[11:21] ---**
it will bring us that much closer
to Dark King Vearn.
**[11:28] ---**
Very well then.
**[11:30] ---**
Now it's time to unite all of the world!
**[11:34] ---**
Come on, my fellow world leaders!
**[11:38] ---**
Yes.
**[11:40] ---**
King Bengarna, do you object?
**[11:43] ---**
No. I have no objections.
**[11:45] ---**
It's just, I believe
we'd need that boy for this.
**[11:49] ---**
You mean Dai?
**[11:51] ---**
That's right.
**[11:52] ---**
I've been focused on weapons and arms,
**[11:55] ---**
*but when I saw him save us,
I was honestly in awe.*
**[12:01] ---**
Heroes truly are powerful.
**[12:04] ---**
My heart was pounding the whole time.
**[12:07] ---**
You were worked up
like a child back there.
**[12:14] ---**
Princess Leona, if he is successfully
rescued, I promise to help however I can.
**[12:20] ---**
I know they'll find him.
**[12:22] ---**
Dai's friends are searching the icy seas
from the sky as we speak.
**[12:27] ---**
But, isn't that close
to the enemy stronghold?
**[12:30] ---**
If memory serves,
**[12:32] ---**
the Field of Death
is a place that even birds avoid.
**[12:37] ---**
Perhaps it's because of
the Dark King's power.
**[12:43] ---**
*Please be okay, Dai!*
**[12:46] ---**
Dai, I'm going to find you!
**[12:51] ---**
This might take a while.
**[12:56] ---**
So it's time to face King Vearn.
**[13:00] ---**
Mystvearn, I never confirmed Dai's death.
**[13:05] ---**
In fact, I'm almost certain he's alive.
**[13:09] ---**
I haven't wiped out
the Hero and his friends as ordered.
**[13:15] ---**
I've failed my promise to King Vearn.
**[13:18] ---**
It's possible
I'll be executed on the spot.
**[13:23] ---**
That's why I'll say it now.
**[13:26] ---**
I used to shun you
for your mysterious nature,
**[13:31] ---**
but now I'm grateful to you.
**[13:34] ---**
Of all the six Legion Commanders,
it's possible that
**[13:39] ---**
you were the most sincere with me.
**[13:42] ---**
Underneath that mask of silence you wear,
**[13:46] ---**
I can't help but sense a fiery soul.
**[13:49] ---**
Hadlar...
**[13:52] ---**
I can now face my end with my head high.
**[13:56] ---**
Thank you.
**[14:00] ---**
Oh, don't be such a worrywart.
**[14:02] ---**
You've powered up greatly,
just like King Vearn expected.
**[14:07] ---**
It'll be anticlimactic,
but he'll commend you and that'll be it.
**[14:12] ---**
*He'll commend us?*
**[14:15] ---**
*Well, this was all thanks
to my research after all.*
**[14:21] ---**
Huh?! What about me?!
**[14:26] ---**
King Vearn, I, Hadlar, have arrived.
**[14:45] ---**
-Oh!
-Can it be?!
**[14:47] ---**
At ease, you two.
**[14:51] ---**
My heart feels bright and clear.
**[14:56] ---**
Like the sun shining through
the clouds above.
**[15:02] ---**
My face has never been seen
by anyone but you two.
**[15:07] ---**
But, I believe revealing it to Hadlar
**[15:11] ---**
is the best way
to express my approval of him.
**[15:17] ---**
What's wrong?
**[15:19] ---**
Does this ancient,
haggard face surprise you?
**[15:24] ---**
Are you...?!
**[15:25] ---**
Indeed.
**[15:27] ---**
I am Vearn.
**[15:33] ---**
Dark King... Vearn.
**[15:34] ---**
VEARN, THE DARK KING
**[15:48] ---**
*Is this truly the King Vearn
that I've feared for so long?!*
**[15:54] ---**
*I sense the pressure from him.*
**[15:56] ---**
*There's no mistaking that immense presence
I feel through that thin veil.*
**[16:02] ---**
*But he's so incredibly old!*
**[16:06] ---**
*Does he really possess the power
of a god of the Underworld?*
**[16:11] ---**
*That frail neck...*
**[16:13] ---**
*As a Superior Being,
I could snap it so easily!*
**[16:18] ---**
Care to try, Hadlar?
**[16:24] ---**
My King, forgive me!
**[16:27] ---**
Fear not.
**[16:28] ---**
That's what I've always liked about you.
**[16:34] ---**
That boundless spirit,
and heart that believes only in power.
**[16:40] ---**
Your recent behavior
had been rather uncharacteristic of you.
**[16:44] ---**
Seeing that spirit rekindled within you
puts me at ease.
**[16:51] ---**
*I can never beat him.*
**[16:54] ---**
*He is truly worlds beyond me.*
**[16:56] ---**
As I had hoped,
you have broken through your shell.
**[17:00] ---**
Your power is now
almost in league with my own.
**[17:07] ---**
I hereby rescind my previous order.
**[17:11] ---**
I would like you to continue your duties
as Dark Commander by my side.
**[17:17] ---**
If I may speak, my Dark King.
**[17:21] ---**
It pains me to say this
after you have granted me such mercy...
**[17:26] ---**
but there is something I wish to do
before being reinstated as Dark Commander.
**[17:33] ---**
Is this about the Hero?
**[17:35] ---**
Yes.
**[17:36] ---**
By any means, I wish to defeat
Dai and the other Disciples of Avan!
**[17:41] ---**
That is my final desire!
**[17:45] ---**
I beg you grant me this!
**[17:51] ---**
There is no need for such formalities.
**[17:54] ---**
Dai, the Hero, and his allies
are the greatest threat to my army.
**[17:58] ---**
What objection
would I have to their defeat?
**[18:04] ---**
The Six Legions are in shambles.
**[18:07] ---**
It seems unnecessary
that you command them.
**[18:12] ---**
Mystvearn, you will take command.
**[18:15] ---**
Yes, sire.
**[18:16] ---**
Hadlar, you will protect
the Field of Death.
**[18:19] ---**
Surely you won't object to that?
**[18:22] ---**
If Dai survived,
**[18:24] ---**
then they will surely
come to attack this place.
**[18:28] ---**
To take my head.
**[18:31] ---**
Indeed. I shall obey, my King.
**[18:34] ---**
And what should I be doing?
**[18:37] ---**
You will maintain your current role.
**[18:40] ---**
Very good, sire.
**[18:42] ---**
I suppose I'll continue
my morbid work for now.
**[18:48] ---**
Why?!
**[18:49] ---**
Why haven't they mentioned me?!
**[18:53] ---**
My Mystic Legion and I
are still in fighting shape!
**[18:57] ---**
They're acting like
I don't even matter anymore!
**[19:03] ---**
What did I suck up to Hadlar and
the other Legion Commanders for?!
**[19:09] ---**
I have to distinguish myself
to make Dark King Vearn acknowledge me!
**[19:15] ---**
And for that...
**[19:23] ---**
*What... happened to me?*
**[19:26] ---**
*Where am I?*
**[19:29] ---**
*In the ice?*
**[19:33] ---**
*I can't move.*
**[19:34] ---**
*My wounds haven't healed.*
**[19:37] ---**
*How did I survive like this?*
**[19:45] ---**
*I see. You protected me.*
**[19:50] ---**
*It's warm.*
**[19:52] ---**
*You kept me from being frozen in ice.*
**[19:57] ---**
*A crack!*
**[19:59] ---**
*Did Hadlar's attack cause that?*
**[20:02] ---**
*I'm sorry.*
**[20:03] ---**
*I'm so sorry.*
**[20:05] ---**
*You sustained such damage for me.*
**[20:08] ---**
*And you've been protecting me
all this time.*
**[20:13] ---**
*I have to get out of here!*
**[20:19] ---**
Tell me, would you like
some more servants?
**[20:24] ---**
Sire?
**[20:25] ---**
The game of chess is quite deep.
**[20:29] ---**
It's thought to be a game of humans,
**[20:33] ---**
but it was originally
invented by the gods.
**[20:38] ---**
*The beauty of chess*
**[20:40] ---**
*is in using the five types of pieces with
different abilities to protect the king.*
**[20:47] ---**
*The pawn moves forward
to defeat its enemies.*
**[20:51] ---**
*The knight leaps eight ways,
striking from above.*
**[20:56] ---**
*The rook charges horizontally or
vertically to decimate foes.*
**[21:03] ---**
*The bishop glides diagonally
like a phantom.*
**[21:08] ---**
And, possessing the abilities
of both rook and bishop,
**[21:12] ---**
the queen is the most powerful piece.
**[21:17] ---**
Th-That shine!
**[21:19] ---**
Are those pieces made of...
**[21:22] ---**
Orichalcum?!
**[21:23] ---**
Indeed.
**[21:25] ---**
Very observant of you.
**[21:29] ---**
You can have those five pieces.
**[21:32] ---**
I haven't had anyone to play with
in a long time anyways.
**[21:36] ---**
If you use the Forbidden Magic
you used to create Flazzard,
**[21:39] ---**
and make those pieces the ultimate force
that would serve with you as their king...
**[21:46] ---**
wouldn't that make things interesting?
**[21:53] ---**
It's around here! I'm sure of it!
**[21:56] ---**
Dai's somewhere around here!
**[22:04] ---**
*Even if you face the devil
With logic on your side*
**[22:04] ---**
*tatoe akuma ni seiron kazashite

THE ORICHALCUM WARRIOR
**[02:03] ---**
Listen up!
**[02:04] ---**
Dai, the Hero was lost in the waters
near the Field of Death!
**[02:09] ---**
While he was wounded by Lord Hadlar,
no one believes he died!
**[02:14] ---**
He's alive out there somewhere!
**[02:19] ---**
The Mystic Legion must be the first
to find Dai and kill him!
**[02:25] ---**
We must distinguish ourselves
for Dark King Vearn's praise!
**[02:30] ---**
Now go! Mystic Legion, go forth!
**[02:36] ---**
Dai, where are you?!
**[02:38] ---**
Leave this to me and my nose!
**[02:45] ---**
Find something?!
**[02:46] ---**
My nose froze.
**[02:49] ---**
I figured as much!
**[02:53] ---**
Regardless, there won't be any smell
to detect in this environment.
**[02:58] ---**
That girl, Merle, could have been
a real help here.
**[03:03] ---**
She has that strange power.
**[03:06] ---**
We couldn't bring her here.
She's just a defenseless Seer.
**[03:12] ---**
I couldn't find a single clue
looking from the sky.
**[03:17] ---**
In that case...
**[03:18] ---**
Yeah! Looks like it's
winter swimming for us!
**[03:22] ---**
What?!
**[03:24] ---**
Let's go!
**[03:24] ---**
Right!
**[03:25] ---**
Wait! Shouldn't you warm up first?!
**[03:33] ---**
Uh-oh. I thought that
this was my chance to shine.
**[03:38] ---**
This situation is very bad.
**[03:41] ---**
I don't know how to swim.
**[03:48] ---**
Huh?
**[03:51] ---**
What?! What's your problem?!
**[03:53] ---**
How dare a simple Man o' War laugh at me!
**[04:04] ---**
That's it!
**[04:07] ---**
Listen, I've got a proposal.
**[04:09] ---**
I'll make it worth your while.
**[04:18] ---**
So cold!
**[04:21] ---**
Th-This is hopeless!
I can barely last a few minutes!
**[04:25] ---**
If he's down there,
not even Dai could survive!
**[04:29] ---**
But if he's not here in the water,
searching is going to be near impossible.
**[04:34] ---**
Another possibility is that
when he hit an iceberg,
**[04:37] ---**
he got buried inside of it.
**[04:40] ---**
If that's the case...
**[04:42] ---**
how do we find him
from among all these icebergs?
**[04:55] ---**
Why you...!
**[04:56] ---**
Hey! How can you be fishing
at a time like this?!
**[05:02] ---**
This may look like fishing to a layman,
but it has a purpose.
**[05:08] ---**
My mind works on
a whole different level from yours.
**[05:12] ---**
What?
**[05:14] ---**
Ah, it's back!
**[05:17] ---**
What's that?
**[05:19] ---**
A Man o' War I just tamed.
**[05:22] ---**
I'm having it search for Dai
in return for food.
**[05:26] ---**
Oh? You can do that?
**[05:29] ---**
Of course. A Fat Rat is like
the king of the monster world.
**[05:34] ---**
Any monster will bow before me.
**[05:38] ---**
You can't be serious.
**[05:40] ---**
Hey, did you find Dai?
**[05:43] ---**
Oh! That's...!
**[05:47] ---**
This is Dai's! I'm sure of it!
**[05:50] ---**
Was that all?
**[05:53] ---**
Did you really search everywhere?!
Wasn't there a human?!
**[06:01] ---**
Dai...!
**[06:02] ---**
This proves that he's definitely nearby.
**[06:08] ---**
Huh?
**[06:10] ---**
Oh, the food I promised.
**[06:13] ---**
Hold on. I haven't caught it yet.
**[06:23] ---**
What a temper.
**[06:28] ---**
Dai... Don't die. Don't die out there.
**[06:33] ---**
I swear I'll find you!
**[06:35] ---**
No matter how many hundreds
or thousands of icebergs there are...
**[06:40] ---**
I swear I'll find you!
**[06:42] ---**
Dai!
**[06:47] ---**
*Dai!*
**[06:51] ---**
Popp?
**[06:53] ---**
I thought I heard Popp's voice.
**[06:58] ---**
Could the others be nearby?
**[07:04] ---**
Okay...!
**[07:08] ---**
This is the last bit of Aura I have left!
**[07:14] ---**
Popp... Everyone...
**[07:17] ---**
Please... find me!
**[07:20] ---**
Popp!
**[07:30] ---**
Could that pillar of light be...?!
**[07:33] ---**
The Dragon Crest!
**[07:37] ---**
It's Dai!
**[07:38] ---**
Hey! Wait up!
**[07:42] ---**
I'm still numb.
**[07:43] ---**
You wait here.
**[07:45] ---**
Garuda!
**[07:54] ---**
*This is pathetic.*
**[07:56] ---**
*It's just me...*
**[07:58] ---**
Huh?
**[08:02] ---**
Popp!
**[08:03] ---**
He survived!
**[08:04] ---**
I knew he was all right, that rascal!
**[08:07] ---**
Right! Your voice must have reached him!
**[08:13] ---**
What is it, Big Guy?!
**[08:17] ---**
Our enemy has also noticed!
**[08:21] ---**
It must be a search team
sent by Zaboera to find Dai.
**[08:25] ---**
I'll take care of them!
**[08:27] ---**
Melt the iceberg and rescue Dai!
**[08:30] ---**
Will you be okay alone, Big Guy?
**[08:35] ---**
Don't you think it's a little soon
for you to worry about me, Popp?
**[08:41] ---**
All right then! I'll leave this to you!
**[08:58] ---**
That's far enough!
**[09:12] ---**
There you are, Zaboera.
**[09:14] ---**
Curse you, Crocodine!
**[09:17] ---**
Traitors have no business here!
**[09:22] ---**
You always hide in the shadows
and never get your hands dirty.
**[09:26] ---**
Yet here you are with your servants.
**[09:32] ---**
I'm guessing you've lost standing
within the Dark Army.
**[09:36] ---**
W-Why you...!
**[09:40] ---**
When you hide behind others,
leeching off their efforts
**[09:44] ---**
and never work to better yourself,
you're bound to end up
**[09:49] ---**
exactly where you are now!
**[09:51] ---**
Shut up! I'll take care of
both you and Dai!
**[09:57] ---**
Get him!
**[10:19] ---**
I guess the time apart
has made you forget...
**[10:23] ---**
the power of the Beast King!
**[10:30] ---**
Flying Flayers!
**[10:40] ---**
Looks like they've started.
**[10:42] ---**
Oh no! The light!
**[10:43] ---**
The light of the crest is fading!
**[10:47] ---**
P-Popp...
**[10:49] ---**
Dai!
**[10:59] ---**
I have to hurry! They need me out there!
**[11:11] ---**
CRACKLE
ICE-TYPE SPELL
**[11:16] ---**
ULTRA COMBUSTION SLASH
**[11:33] ---**
Zaboera has discovered Dai
and headed out to the frozen sea.
**[11:38] ---**
The fool has gotten ahead of himself.
**[11:43] ---**
Hym, use force if necessary.
Bring Zaboera back.
**[11:47] ---**
My lord.
**[11:48] ---**
No one shall touch
Dai and his friends but me!
**[12:25] ---**
There! Found him!
**[12:27] ---**
I need to be careful from here.
**[12:29] ---**
What are you standing around for!
Leave this to me!
**[12:32] ---**
Huh?!
**[12:33] ---**
Rattus Rocket Ram!
**[12:38] ---**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[12:42] ---**
You idiot!
**[12:48] ---**
-Dai!
-Dai!
**[12:50] ---**
Dai! Dai, hang in there!
**[12:55] ---**
Popp...
**[12:56] ---**
I knew it was you.
**[12:59] ---**
Obviously. Who else
would come to rescue you?
**[13:04] ---**
And me! And me!
Don't forget about me, Dai!
**[13:10] ---**
Chiu, carry that sword!
We're getting out of here!
**[13:14] ---**
Huh? But what about my praise?
**[13:18] ---**
Tsk!
**[13:23] ---**
*How can a sword so small weigh so much?*
**[13:34] ---**
Zaboera?!
**[13:35] ---**
What?! How did he get there?!
**[13:37] ---**
Flying Flayers! Cast Kafrizz on me!
**[13:51] ---**
W-What?!
**[13:53] ---**
This is my greatest trump card,
**[13:55] ---**
the convergence spell, Hexcitation!
**[13:58] ---**
It's a Super Spell that
lets me absorb others' spells,
**[14:02] ---**
add my own power
and fire the combined energy!
**[14:06] ---**
With the combined Kafrizz spells
from me and my Flying Flayers,
**[14:09] ---**
I'll evaporate you and that iceberg!
**[14:13] ---**
Dai! Popp!
**[14:15] ---**
*If I run with a Zoom spell,
it'll hit Chiu behind me!*
**[14:18] ---**
*Can I cancel it out
with a spell of my own?!*
**[14:21] ---**
Die!
**[14:31] ---**
What?! W-What happened?!
**[15:08] ---**
What is that?!
**[15:13] ---**
Who is this guy?
**[15:15] ---**
A man made of metal?!
**[15:17] ---**
Is it a new enemy?!
**[15:19] ---**
But why did it save them?!
**[15:22] ---**
Y-You!
**[15:26] ---**
Who are you?!
**[15:28] ---**
Why do you get in my way?!
**[15:32] ---**
Even Zaboera doesn't recognize him?!
**[15:36] ---**
I am Lord Hadlar's loyal soldier,
the pawn, Hym!
**[15:41] ---**
Hym?!
**[15:44] ---**
*Did he say pawn?!*
**[15:46] ---**
By Lord Hadlar's order I've come
to retrieve your disobedient hide.
**[16:26] ---**
*He's strong!*
**[16:27] ---**
You little brat! Take this!
**[16:46] ---**
Impossible! My spell didn't work?!
**[16:50] ---**
Come to think of it,
you already repelled my Hexcitation spell.
**[16:55] ---**
What are you?
**[16:58] ---**
Fool!
**[17:01] ---**
I am one of the ultimate guards created
from an Orichalcum piece by Lord Hadlar!
**[17:06] ---**
My entire body is made of Orichalcum!
**[17:10] ---**
I am invulnerable to
all attacks and spells!
**[17:15] ---**
Only Lord Hadlar with his Orichalcum blade
or the omnipotent Dark King can harm me.
**[17:22] ---**
What?!
**[17:26] ---**
You there!
**[17:29] ---**
Huh?!
**[17:30] ---**
Is that your sword?
**[17:34] ---**
The owner of that sword
might actually put up a good fight.
**[17:39] ---**
Then why not kill us here?!
**[17:42] ---**
Why bother protecting us?!
**[17:46] ---**
I'm not a piece of scum like him.
**[17:50] ---**
I'm a proud servant of Lord Hadlar!
**[17:53] ---**
I will face any opponent head-on!
**[17:57] ---**
Killing you in such a cheap way
would be boring!
**[18:03] ---**
I protect the Field of Death with
my four comrades by Lord Hadlar's order!
**[18:09] ---**
We shall cross paths eventually.
**[18:12] ---**
You'd better train
for when that day comes!
**[18:16] ---**
Don't disappoint Lord Hadlar!
**[18:26] ---**
Are you okay?
**[18:27] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[18:31] ---**
I guess we were rescued by our enemy.
**[18:34] ---**
Big Guy, that guy said he was a pawn.
**[18:39] ---**
By pawn, did he mean...?
**[18:41] ---**
Yes. It's the name
of the weakest chess piece.
**[18:47] ---**
That was the weakest?
**[18:49] ---**
It's a scary thought, but it seems so.
**[18:55] ---**
Let's go back, guys.
**[18:58] ---**
We've got a lot to do
when we get back to Papnica.
**[19:01] ---**
You're right. Good point.
**[19:04] ---**
I completely forgot
you're wounded and half-frozen.
**[19:09] ---**
That's cold.
**[19:15] ---**
Let's go! Back to Papnica!
**[19:17] ---**
We can figure things out then.
**[19:25] ---**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[19:27] ---**
Do something about your landing!
**[19:29] ---**
Don't blame me! I'm overburdened!
**[19:33] ---**
Dai! Everyone!
**[19:37] ---**
Thank goodness you're all right!
**[19:38] ---**
I told you to leave it to me.
**[19:40] ---**
You should have seen me out there.
**[19:43] ---**
Dai!
**[19:44] ---**
Huh?
**[19:46] ---**
Oh! Dai! Dai!
**[19:50] ---**
Thank goodness!
**[19:59] ---**
How dare...?!
**[20:02] ---**
You don't have the power
to escape that cage.
**[20:06] ---**
You can cool your head there.
**[20:10] ---**
Wait! Wait!
**[20:14] ---**
Curse you Hadlar!
**[20:16] ---**
How dare you steal my glory!
**[20:20] ---**
It's time to see Hadlar's
newly assembled royal guard.
**[20:25] ---**
Giving him five whole Orichalcum warriors
was rather generous of you, King Vearn.
**[20:32] ---**
Why shouldn't I?
**[20:34] ---**
Mere Gargoyles and Archdemons
**[20:37] ---**
wouldn't be strong enough
to be Hadlar's guard now.
**[20:44] ---**
At last.
**[20:47] ---**
Oh great Dark King Vearn,
**[20:51] ---**
I present to you my new servants.
**[20:55] ---**
Five pieces born from
everlasting Orichalcum.
**[21:02] ---**
First is the pawn, Hym.
**[21:03] ---**
PAWN: HYM
**[21:06] ---**
The knight, Sigma.
**[21:08] ---**
KNIGHT: SIGMA
**[21:11] ---**
The bishop, Fenbren.
**[21:13] ---**
BISHOP: FENBREN
**[21:16] ---**
The rook, Block.
**[21:17] ---**
ROOK: BLOCK
**[21:20] ---**
And the queen, Albinass.
**[21:22] ---**
QUEEN: ALBINASS
**[21:25] ---**
This is the ultimate force
to protect the Field of Death...
**[21:30] ---**
the Hadlar Royal Guard!
**[21:34] ---**
Magnificent, Hadlar.
**[21:36] ---**
You are the king of that royal guard.
**[21:41] ---**
When the Disciples of Avan are defeated,
**[21:44] ---**
and the world is conquered,
I shall grant you the surface world.
**[21:51] ---**
When that time comes,
**[21:53] ---**
you may reclaim your title of Dark Lord.
**[22:04] ---**
*Even if you face the devil
With logic on your side*

THE EXTREME ANNIHILATION SPELL, MEDROA
**[01:50] ---**
You're looking much better.
**[01:52] ---**
Yes.
**[01:53] ---**
Can I get you anything?
**[01:56] ---**
No.
**[01:58] ---**
I'll bring some fruits.
**[02:00] ---**
Th-Thank you.
**[02:06] ---**
Yo.
**[02:07] ---**
The leaders have finished their meeting.
**[02:10] ---**
The showdown is in five days.
**[02:14] ---**
So they finally made up their minds.
**[02:16] ---**
It's a collaborative effort
between countries, so it took a while.
**[02:20] ---**
We'll be gathering in Carl Kingdom,
south of the Field of Death.
**[02:24] ---**
Carl Kingdom is in ruins.
**[02:27] ---**
We're using the ruins
as a cover to build a base.
**[02:30] ---**
Our group will head out the day before.
**[02:33] ---**
So for the next four days
I'm going to my mentor's place.
**[02:38] ---**
It's not just me.
**[02:40] ---**
Maam, Crocodine and Chiu are all training.
**[02:45] ---**
You guys make sure to rest up.
**[02:47] ---**
I need to get ready too.
**[02:50] ---**
Dai.
**[02:52] ---**
Are you healed?
**[02:53] ---**
Yeah.
**[02:54] ---**
We have somewhere to go.
**[03:04] ---**
Hyunckel...
**[03:06] ---**
Where...
**[03:07] ---**
They've all gone.
**[03:09] ---**
Huh?!
**[03:09] ---**
With the showdown date set,
the Disciples of Avan have all left.
**[03:14] ---**
Including Dai and Hyunckel.
**[03:16] ---**
But...
**[03:19] ---**
His wounds haven't fully healed yet.
**[03:23] ---**
Why does he rush into battle so quickly?
**[03:29] ---**
He only rests when
he's too wounded to fight.
**[03:34] ---**
It's like he's cursed to keep fighting.
**[03:39] ---**
They're the only ones
who can save the world.
**[03:44] ---**
All we can do is support them
to ease their burden.
**[03:49] ---**
That includes Hyunckel.
**[03:51] ---**
Sister!
**[03:57] ---**
My weapons can recover
from this sort of damage on their own.
**[04:03] ---**
But I can fix them if you're in a hurry.
**[04:06] ---**
He seems to be
in a really bad mood.
**[04:09] ---**
It's probably your fault.
**[04:10] ---**
Mine? Why?
**[04:12] ---**
You two.
**[04:15] ---**
Time to teach you a lesson.
**[04:16] ---**
If you think the Sword of Champions
beat you because it's made of Orichalcum,
**[04:23] ---**
then I'll knock some sense into you.
**[04:25] ---**
I guess it was my fault.
**[04:29] ---**
Step outside.
**[04:30] ---**
Huh?! You're going to use a sword?
**[04:32] ---**
*He knows how to fight with a sword?*
**[04:36] ---**
I said I'd teach you a lesson.
**[04:38] ---**
That sword is this world's greatest!
I can't make anything stronger!
**[04:43] ---**
Your only hope to fight better
is for you to grow stronger!
**[04:58] ---**
What's wrong?
**[05:00] ---**
What hope do you have
if you can't match someone like me?
**[05:04] ---**
*This is no joke... He's strong!*
**[05:07] ---**
*I can't believe someone this good
was still out there in the world.*
**[05:13] ---**
Very well.
**[05:15] ---**
Those weapons will
go to waste in your hands.
**[05:19] ---**
Once they're restored,
I'll show you how to really use them...
**[05:25] ---**
through actual combat!
**[05:28] ---**
That's the Valge Whirlpool.
**[05:31] ---**
Sorry Chiu.
I'll need your help with my training.
**[05:36] ---**
Absolutely! I'm glad to help!
**[05:46] ---**
Okay!
**[05:48] ---**
So, an Orichalcum Superbeing Army...
**[05:51] ---**
That's bad news.
**[05:53] ---**
It's not their strength that's bad news.
**[05:55] ---**
It's also their minds.
**[05:57] ---**
Their minds?
**[05:59] ---**
The Forbidden Magic of giving life
to inanimate materials
**[06:02] ---**
is heavily affected by the mentality
of whoever uses it.
**[06:06] ---**
Flazzard was created back when Hadlar
was obsessed with power.
**[06:10] ---**
*He was a violent piece of trash
who cared only for glory, remember?*
**[06:15] ---**
I see.
**[06:16] ---**
If that Royal Guard
actually cares about a fair fight,
**[06:21] ---**
then it means Hadlar himself
has grown as a warrior.
**[06:26] ---**
So the members of the Royal Guard
created by the new Hadlar
**[06:31] ---**
are each stronger than Flazzard.
**[06:33] ---**
Not only that...
**[06:35] ---**
until now, you guys have managed
to get by using teamwork.
**[06:40] ---**
Now they're going to use it, too.
**[06:43] ---**
This'll be difficult.
**[06:46] ---**
Mentor, please,
is there anything I can do?!
**[06:50] ---**
*Hym repelled a spell
ten times stronger than a Kafrizz!*
**[06:55] ---**
A normal flame spell won't work on him!
**[06:59] ---**
Not with an Orichalcum body.
**[07:02] ---**
What can I do?!
**[07:09] ---**
Let's go outside.
**[07:11] ---**
Mentor, are you sure you can get up?!
**[07:14] ---**
Are you okay?!
**[07:15] ---**
Don't worry about me.
**[07:19] ---**
Speaking of Flazzard,
he was pretty strong, wasn't he?
**[07:24] ---**
Huh?
**[07:25] ---**
He used both fire and ice.
**[07:27] ---**
R-Right.
**[07:29] ---**
The idea was good, but his youth
and inexperience caused him to fail.
**[07:33] ---**
Had he used fire and ice simultaneously,
you wouldn't have stood a chance.
**[07:39] ---**
Like this.
**[07:44] ---**
Can you do this?
**[07:47] ---**
I-I don't know.
I've never tried it before.
**[07:50] ---**
This is your answer.
**[07:53] ---**
Do this, and Orichalcum foe or not,
you'll always win.
**[07:59] ---**
After all, this is the Grand Sorcerer
Matoriv's strongest extreme spell.
**[08:07] ---**
What a spell...
**[08:08] ---**
I'll teach it to you.
**[08:11] ---**
Well, if I can manage to pull it off.
**[08:15] ---**
What do you mean?!
**[08:17] ---**
I've only used it a handful of times.
**[08:21] ---**
It's too scary.
**[08:24] ---**
*Mentor's like a walking ball of ego,*
**[08:28] ---**
*and even he's scared to use it?!*
**[08:31] ---**
*Just what kind of spell is it?!*
**[08:34] ---**
Fire and ice.
**[08:37] ---**
They may seem like opposite spells,
**[08:39] ---**
but both Fire-type and Ice-type spells
use Magic Power that control heat.
**[08:46] ---**
It's just a matter of
whether it's positive or negative.
**[08:51] ---**
Push Magic Power in the positive direction
for a Fire-type spell.
**[08:56] ---**
Push it in the negative direction
for an Ice-type spell.
**[09:00] ---**
When this positive and negative
Magic Power is sparked simultaneously,
**[09:05] ---**
it becomes
the ultimate annihilating power.
**[09:09] ---**
I'm not sure I get it.
**[09:11] ---**
So, by combining the two powers,
it creates an annihilation spell
**[09:15] ---**
that will disintegrate anything?
**[09:18] ---**
Very good. You've grown quite perceptive.
**[09:23] ---**
You're absolutely correct.
**[09:25] ---**
It's the Extreme Annihilation Spell.
**[09:27] ---**
It's called...
**[09:30] ---**
Medroa.
**[09:32] ---**
Medroa?
**[09:34] ---**
This spell is unbelievably hard to cast.
**[09:38] ---**
You need the skill to combine Fire-type
and Ice-type spells of exact equal power.
**[09:44] ---**
But, pull it off and you're unbeatable.
**[09:47] ---**
It doesn't matter
how resilient your opponent is.
**[09:50] ---**
This spell will disintegrate
absolutely anything.
**[09:57] ---**
And you're going to teach it to me?
**[10:02] ---**
Yeah. I will.
**[10:05] ---**
This is probably the only spell
that will work on an Orichalcum enemy.
**[10:09] ---**
Great! How do I do it?!
What sort of training do I need to do?!
**[10:14] ---**
Popp, training for this is simple.
**[10:18] ---**
It'll only take an instant.
**[10:20] ---**
That's even better!
**[10:22] ---**
This spell requires
casting both spells simultaneously.
**[10:26] ---**
They must be balanced perfectly.
**[10:29] ---**
Those without talent
will never pull it off.
**[10:36] ---**
I'm going to cast it at you.
**[10:39] ---**
Huh?
**[10:40] ---**
Cancel it out with your own Magic Power.
**[10:43] ---**
What?
**[11:29] ---**
This spell...
**[11:32] ---**
can only be cancelled out
by the same spell!
**[11:35] ---**
Huh!
**[11:36] ---**
If you can't successfully combine
the two spells,
**[11:40] ---**
you'll be erased from this world!
**[11:43] ---**
What?! That's crazy, Mentor!
**[11:46] ---**
Here goes, Popp!
**[11:49] ---**
Pull it off if you want to live!
**[11:59] ---**
FULLHEAL
HEALING-TYPE SPELL
**[12:04] ---**
REFRACTOR FIST
**[12:08] ---**
*O-Oh crap! This is too much!*
**[12:12] ---**
*I'll have to run to dodge it!*
**[12:20] ---**
*That's right! Mentor's not well!*
**[12:24] ---**
*He's been casting Forbidden Magic-level
spells to protect his friends!*
**[12:30] ---**
*He's coughed up blood before!*
**[12:34] ---**
*That spell takes such an effort to cast.*
**[12:38] ---**
*And he's willing to endure it for me!*
**[12:42] ---**
*I can't run away!*
**[12:44] ---**
*This is about more than just a spell!*
**[12:48] ---**
*If I run from this,
I'll have no right to call him my mentor!*
**[13:00] ---**
Thank you.
**[13:05] ---**
Here goes!
**[13:09] ---**
Medroa!
**[13:23] ---**
Popp!
**[13:34] ---**
Good! Contain it!
**[13:41] ---**
*Oh no! Popp was always better
at Fire-type spells!*
**[13:45] ---**
*The output of his left hand
is overpowering his right!*
**[13:49] ---**
Popp! Increase your Ice-type spell power!
**[13:52] ---**
Increase the power from your right hand!
**[13:57] ---**
Dammit!
**[14:01] ---**
Don't vanish! Don't vanish, Popp!
**[14:07] ---**
Damn it all!
**[14:20] ---**
Oh man, I wish I could train with them.
**[14:26] ---**
A princess can't just run off
and abandon her duties.
**[14:32] ---**
Maybe I should go.
**[14:35] ---**
I'm kidding.
**[14:40] ---**
The Valge Whirlpool became two!
**[14:51] ---**
And now it's one again!
**[15:04] ---**
Good job, sir!
**[15:06] ---**
It's possible!
**[15:07] ---**
Theoretically, it's possible!
**[15:12] ---**
Are you okay?!
**[15:14] ---**
Y-Yeah. Sorry.
**[15:17] ---**
You've got your own training,
yet you're helping me.
**[15:21] ---**
It's nothing.
**[15:23] ---**
I'll make it up to you.
**[15:26] ---**
I've got a gift for you.
**[15:27] ---**
Huh?! Really?!
**[15:29] ---**
What is it?!
**[15:31] ---**
Okay, one more time.
**[16:01] ---**
Yo! Not bad!
**[16:02] ---**
Popp!?
**[16:03] ---**
Punching each drop of water that splashes.
**[16:08] ---**
Training to increase your speed?
**[16:10] ---**
Yes. More speed means more force.
**[16:14] ---**
I need more instant destructive power
to damage our new enemies.
**[16:19] ---**
W-What happened to your arm?!
**[16:21] ---**
Oh, nothing much.
Just training for a new spell.
**[16:25] ---**
When I mess up, this happens.
**[16:27] ---**
I just dropped by to cool it off.
**[16:30] ---**
What kind of spell is it?
**[16:33] ---**
You'll find out after I complete it.
**[16:36] ---**
This one is seriously strong.
**[16:39] ---**
No matter who we face,
I know I'll be able to help.
**[16:44] ---**
You seem confident.
**[16:46] ---**
Yeah. You can count on me!
**[16:48] ---**
We have two days left.
I better try harder!
**[16:53] ---**
You're going to have to try a lot harder
if you want to increase your speed.
**[16:57] ---**
You're carrying
a lot of excess weight, you know.
**[17:02] ---**
What did you say?!
**[17:04] ---**
I'm joking! I'm joking!
**[17:17] ---**
Are you okay?! Are you hurt?
**[17:20] ---**
What the hell was that?!
**[17:21] ---**
A trap for grappling training.
**[17:23] ---**
We're going to be facing enemies
immune to my Refractor Fist.
**[17:27] ---**
*That's it. No more gazing at those legs.*
**[17:33] ---**
*Those things are lethal.*
**[17:45] ---**
Balance...
**[17:47] ---**
It's about equal balance.
**[18:25] ---**
Not again!
**[18:35] ---**
How's that, Mentor?
**[18:37] ---**
I know my Fire-type Magic Power
is still a bit strong.
**[18:43] ---**
But it's not too far off, eh?
**[18:53] ---**
I've never been more impressed
with your skill.
**[18:59] ---**
That's the first time
you've ever complimented me like that.
**[19:03] ---**
Maybe it's time you retire.
**[19:06] ---**
You kids always get ahead of yourselves.
**[19:09] ---**
I'm serious, Mentor.
**[19:11] ---**
I'll learn every skill you have.
**[19:14] ---**
So you don't have to
push yourself anymore.
**[19:18] ---**
Try to look after yourself.
**[19:23] ---**
Why did you choose to be a Mage
when you became Avan's student?
**[19:27] ---**
Huh?
**[19:28] ---**
Didn't you consider
being a Warrior or a Hero?
**[19:31] ---**
Master Avan told me...
**[19:34] ---**
I sense a very, very great potential
for magic from you.
**[19:39] ---**
You remind me of an old friend of mine.
**[19:45] ---**
That's why I didn't hesitate to be a Mage.
**[19:50] ---**
*He really had an eye for people.*
**[19:54] ---**
If you want me to retire,
you better really impress me.
**[20:02] ---**
Let me out of here!
**[20:04] ---**
I'm the Mystic Legion Commander!
**[20:07] ---**
Quiet down in there.
**[20:09] ---**
You should be executed, but Lord Hadlar
mercifully granted you imprisonment.
**[20:15] ---**
I don't deserve imprisonment!
**[20:18] ---**
Learn more remorse.
**[20:20] ---**
Hey! Get back here!
**[20:24] ---**
If I may, Lord Hadlar...
**[20:27] ---**
What is it, Albinass?
**[20:29] ---**
That one should be executed at once.
**[20:32] ---**
He's nothing but a parasite.
**[20:34] ---**
If allowed to live, he will only
be a hinderance to you.
**[20:40] ---**
He was the one
who worked to enhance my body.
**[20:44] ---**
It cost him his son.
There's no need to kill him.
**[20:48] ---**
Let him cool off in his cell.
**[20:51] ---**
Yes, My Lord. If that is your command.
**[20:54] ---**
The old me would have killed him
without a second thought.
**[21:00] ---**
Am I too soft?
**[21:02] ---**
No. You are magnanimous,
if a bit too lenient on parasites.
**[21:08] ---**
You don't hold back, do you?
**[21:13] ---**
Killvearn, I have a job for you.
**[21:17] ---**
An assassination?
**[21:20] ---**
I don't think Hadlar would appreciate
me killing the Disciples of Avan.
**[21:27] ---**
It's not the Disciples.
**[21:29] ---**
And I'm not even sure you'll succeed.
**[21:35] ---**
But at his core, he is still a father.
**[21:39] ---**
While he remains silent for now,
there's no telling how he'll move next.
**[21:45] ---**
So, eliminate the sleeping Dragon?

TO THE FINAL BATTLEGROUND
**[02:07] ---**
It's time to go.
**[02:11] ---**
Tomorrow, warriors from around the world
will gather in Carl Kingdom.
**[02:17] ---**
The time to begin
our counterattack has come!
**[02:20] ---**
Yes!
**[02:22] ---**
But where is everybody?
**[02:25] ---**
Did their training not work out?
**[02:31] ---**
Ah! There they are!
**[02:35] ---**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[02:40] ---**
Crocodine!
**[02:41] ---**
How did your training go?
**[02:45] ---**
Well...
**[02:47] ---**
we'll just have to see in battle.
**[02:51] ---**
Oh! There's Popp, too!
**[02:54] ---**
Huh? Aw, I thought I'd be the first back.
**[02:59] ---**
You thought wrong!
**[03:02] ---**
Looks like you learned
a pretty intense spell there, Popp.
**[03:06] ---**
I guess so.
**[03:08] ---**
Isn't Sir Matoriv with you?
**[03:10] ---**
Right. About Mentor...
**[03:12] ---**
He said, "I'm tired,
so I'm going to sleep."
**[03:15] ---**
Also, "I leave the rest to all of you."
**[03:19] ---**
Okay, that leaves three people.
Dai, Hyunckel, and Maam.
**[03:24] ---**
You mean two people!
**[03:32] ---**
Nice!
**[03:44] ---**
That leaves Dai and Hyunckel.
**[03:47] ---**
Yeah, those two will probably
take the longest.
**[03:51] ---**
Since they need
their weapons restored, too.
**[03:54] ---**
Maybe not.
**[04:05] ---**
Dai!
**[04:06] ---**
Sorry to keep you all waiting!
**[04:12] ---**
So, did you master the ways
of the strongest sword?!
**[04:17] ---**
Hmm. I'm not sure.
**[04:19] ---**
Huh? That doesn't sound reassuring.
**[04:24] ---**
Well, I did what I could
in the time we had.
**[04:27] ---**
Okay then!
**[04:31] ---**
Well, I'm off.
**[04:33] ---**
Answer me this before you go.
**[04:36] ---**
You're a novice with the spear.
**[04:38] ---**
With a sword, you could have matched me.
**[04:42] ---**
So why?
**[04:44] ---**
Because...
**[04:46] ---**
this spear was a parting gift
from a dying friend.
**[04:51] ---**
A good answer.
**[04:54] ---**
I've never met anyone able to entrust
their life to their weapon like you.
**[04:59] ---**
Try to teach that spirit to Dai.
**[05:05] ---**
Okay, that's everyone.
**[05:08] ---**
Yeah, that's everyone...
**[05:10] ---**
Oh!
**[05:13] ---**
Hold on a minute!
**[05:15] ---**
That's right!
**[05:17] ---**
There's one more!
**[05:19] ---**
What? What's with those two?
**[05:21] ---**
Who else is there?
**[05:35] ---**
The Book of Avan!
**[05:36] ---**
This is Master Avan's book?
I've never seen it before.
**[05:40] ---**
I see... They're right.
**[05:43] ---**
We're going to Master Avan's homeland.
**[05:46] ---**
We have to bring this.
**[05:49] ---**
*That's right. Our master.*
**[05:52] ---**
*The one who started all of this.*
**[05:55] ---**
*Without Master Avan,
me, Popp, and Maam...*
**[06:00] ---**
*and even Hyunckel and Crocodine
wouldn't be here like this today!*
**[06:05] ---**
Master! Let's go together!
**[06:08] ---**
This battle will be fought by all of us!
**[06:45] ---**
The Reaper.
**[06:47] ---**
Wow!
**[06:50] ---**
How scary.
**[06:52] ---**
I hid my presence and you still sensed me.
**[06:56] ---**
No wonder King Vearn
regards you with caution.
**[07:00] ---**
Finding you was quite a hassle.
**[07:02] ---**
I didn't think the legendary Dragon Knight
would be hiding in this remote cave.
**[07:08] ---**
What do you want?
**[07:10] ---**
You couldn't possibly
be looking to take my life.
**[07:15] ---**
What else would an assassin do?
**[07:19] ---**
Is that Dark King Vearn's will?
**[07:25] ---**
He made a promise to me.
**[07:29] ---**
Humans are filth
that pollute the Surface World.
**[07:32] ---**
He promised to wipe out the humans
and to create a paradise.
**[07:39] ---**
He asked that I cooperate
and not oppose him until then.
**[07:46] ---**
That's why I served under Hadlar
and fought on the front lines.
**[07:54] ---**
Was that promise a lie?
**[07:58] ---**
Of course not.
Everything King Vearn said was true.
**[08:03] ---**
Indeed the humans will be wiped out.
**[08:06] ---**
But it won't be just the humans.
**[08:10] ---**
The monsters and Dragons and Darklings...
**[08:13] ---**
Every creature that lives
on the Surface World will be exterminated.
**[08:18] ---**
After all, to erase
the Surface World itself...
**[08:24] ---**
is King Vearn's true objective.
**[08:27] ---**
What?
**[08:29] ---**
You fought Abyss Dragon King Velzar,
so you should know.
**[08:35] ---**
Deep below the ground
where we stand right now
**[08:40] ---**
lies another world.
**[08:43] ---**
The Underworld?!
**[08:45] ---**
*Correct. The land of darkness
that the gods gave to the Darklings.*
**[08:50] ---**
*A world of chaos where
strength is the only rule.*
**[08:54] ---**
*King Vearn's true wish is to raise
the Underworld to the Surface World.*
**[09:01] ---**
This is a secret that not even Hadlar,
his most powerful servant, knows.
**[09:10] ---**
Doesn't it sound wonderful?
**[09:13] ---**
The Surface World erased,
**[09:15] ---**
and humans and monsters and Dragons
all fall to the Underworld.
**[09:20] ---**
And only the powerful
**[09:22] ---**
and those who enjoy destruction and
slaughter can survive in this new world.
**[09:27] ---**
This is King Vearn's paradise.
**[09:31] ---**
And I am to eliminate
any potential threat to that cause!
**[09:37] ---**
You fool!
**[09:46] ---**
What you described...
**[09:48] ---**
is what people call Hell!
**[09:54] ---**
I-It's been fully restored?
**[09:57] ---**
The Demon Dragon Blade.
**[10:01] ---**
My Reaper Flute neutralizes the senses.
Yet it didn't work.
**[10:07] ---**
This man is more than a simple beast...
**[10:16] ---**
Dark King Vearn.
**[10:18] ---**
If that's your intent,
then I have ideas of my own.
**[10:31] ---**
Oh no! This is terrible!
**[11:00] ---**
Take care, Princess!
**[11:02] ---**
May the great gods of Papnica bless you!
**[11:09] ---**
Wow, look at how small Papnica is!
**[11:13] ---**
"Off to the field of battle!
Farewell dear homeland!"
**[11:16] ---**
or something like that, Princess?
**[11:18] ---**
You're quite the poet, Popp.
**[11:20] ---**
It'll be pathetic if you run away
after saying that.
**[11:25] ---**
Oh come on. Do you still think of me
as the cowardly chicken?
**[11:31] ---**
It was only way back in the beginning
that I acted like that.
**[11:36] ---**
For quite a while back in the beginning!
**[11:38] ---**
What?!
**[11:39] ---**
That's right.
**[11:40] ---**
Huh?!
**[11:43] ---**
Anyways!
**[11:45] ---**
I'm glad Merle came
since she can sense enemies...
**[11:50] ---**
but why is Miss Amy here?
**[11:54] ---**
You always stay back to protect Papnica.
**[11:58] ---**
I-I'm here as Her Majesty's bodyguard.
**[12:02] ---**
We don't know
what dangers may threaten her.
**[12:08] ---**
Besides, I can lend
a bit of a hand in a fight...
**[12:11] ---**
If that's all you can do, then you won't
survive the forces of the Field of Death.
**[12:17] ---**
Stick to guarding the Princess.
**[12:24] ---**
Miss Amy's acting kind of suspicious.
**[12:27] ---**
How so?
**[12:28] ---**
How so? What do you think?
**[12:32] ---**
The whole "for the man I love" thing.
**[12:36] ---**
*How can Popp be so perceptive
when it comes to other people?*
**[12:41] ---**
Don't worry, Hyunckel.
**[12:43] ---**
The leaders of the world have gathered
powerful warriors there.
**[12:48] ---**
It's worth having Amy there
even to just help and heal them.
**[12:54] ---**
*Princess...*
**[12:56] ---**
Wow. Powerful warriors from all over!
**[13:00] ---**
I wonder what they're like!
**[13:02] ---**
Let's hope they're even
half as good as I am.
**[13:08] ---**
Powerful warriors...
**[13:11] ---**
What's wrong, Hyunckel?
Something worrying you?
**[13:16] ---**
Well...
**[13:18] ---**
I understand what the Princess is saying.
**[13:21] ---**
It's important that
the people of the world stand together.
**[13:26] ---**
But...
**[13:27] ---**
I don't want to drag too many innocents
into this fight with us.
**[13:34] ---**
I've never actually seen his face,
**[13:37] ---**
but I've felt the Dark King's
immense presence.
**[13:42] ---**
He's not someone
any normal being can stand up to.
**[13:46] ---**
True. I know how you feel...
**[14:46] ---**
GIGABREAK
**[14:51] ---**
REAPER FLUTE
**[15:04] ---**
Is this really the place, Leona?
**[15:07] ---**
Yes. This is where Carl Castle used to be.
**[15:11] ---**
The Dark Army demolished it,
leaving nothing behind.
**[15:16] ---**
Our base should be near here.
**[15:19] ---**
So this is...
**[15:21] ---**
Master Avan's homeland.
**[15:23] ---**
Yes. But this isn't the time
to get sentimental.
**[15:27] ---**
That thing's incredible!
**[15:29] ---**
It reaches to the top of the clouds!
**[15:32] ---**
If that's their stronghold,
it's unbelievably huge!
**[15:36] ---**
It looks like the Dark Army is saying,
"We know you're here. Come and get us."
**[15:47] ---**
Let's prepare!
We don't know what'll happen!
**[16:02] ---**
Who's there?!
**[16:03] ---**
Whoa! Wait a minute! It's me!
**[16:08] ---**
The Bengarna Kingdom
Tank Unit commander, Akhim!
**[16:13] ---**
I saw your balloon and came to greet you!
**[16:18] ---**
You? We thought you might be an enemy.
**[16:21] ---**
What's up? Did you have to shave your head
because you lost the tank unit?
**[16:27] ---**
I've always been bald, sir!
**[16:31] ---**
I see...
**[16:33] ---**
More importantly, have you all seen
what happened to the Field of Death?
**[16:38] ---**
Yeah. We saw from above.
**[16:40] ---**
Then that will save us time.
**[16:42] ---**
General Bowson awaits you
at the base of operations.
**[16:46] ---**
I'll show you the way. Please follow me.
**[16:49] ---**
Thank you.
Are all the warriors there, too?
**[16:52] ---**
No. The warriors aren't
at the base of operations.
**[16:56] ---**
Most of them went
to the shipbuilding base in Zababa.
**[17:01] ---**
Hey, what's Zababa?
**[17:04] ---**
A small fishing port north of Carl.
**[17:09] ---**
We're secretly building a large ship
to take us to the Field of Death.
**[17:17] ---**
There'll be almost thirty of us
all together.
**[17:21] ---**
We'll need a large ship.
**[17:23] ---**
Come to think of it, where did Chiu go?
**[17:41] ---**
Y-You! Where did you come from?!
**[17:47] ---**
Hmph! So what?!
**[17:49] ---**
I'm going to infiltrate
the Field of Death,
**[17:52] ---**
and gather information
on the Dark Army for everybody!
**[17:58] ---**
How am I going to cross the sea?
**[18:02] ---**
Don't underestimate me, my friend!
**[18:05] ---**
I'm currently worthy
of the title of Beast King!
**[18:10] ---**
Ta-da!
**[18:12] ---**
This is the Beast King Flute!
**[18:15] ---**
Mr. Crocodine gave it to me
as thanks for helping him train!
**[18:19] ---**
It's a wonderful item that lures monsters.
**[18:22] ---**
If I can beat them,
they become my followers!
**[18:29] ---**
With this, I'll eventually form
a mighty legion of good monsters!
**[18:34] ---**
Now then, let's blow this at the sky
and get a flying follower.
**[18:53] ---**
I-I guess they sometimes come in groups.
**[18:59] ---**
*Can I beat them?*
**[19:05] ---**
Wow! It's almost complete!
**[19:07] ---**
We'll ride to the Field of Death in this.
**[19:11] ---**
Hm?!
**[19:17] ---**
What the hell is that?!
**[19:27] ---**
The Dark Army?!
**[19:29] ---**
You peons are annoying us
from the opposite shore.
**[19:35] ---**
Get real!
**[19:36] ---**
You've got a lot of nerve
coming here alone!
**[19:41] ---**
I would have preferred to come alone.
**[20:22] ---**
You'll be fighting all five
of the Hadlar Royal Guard.
**[20:35] ---**
We've been waiting for you!
**[20:37] ---**
And now all the world's warriors
have gathered.
**[20:40] ---**
All that's left is to wait for our ship
to be completed!
**[20:45] ---**
An attack?!
**[20:46] ---**
No, that's someone
landing with a Zoom spell!
**[20:53] ---**
Aren't you the mage Fobster?!
**[20:56] ---**
I-It's an emergency!
Zababa's been attacked!
**[21:02] ---**
A bunch of silver metal beings
attacked the dock!
**[21:08] ---**
It's them!
**[21:09] ---**
The Hadlar Royal Guard!
**[21:11] ---**
Is everyone all right?!
**[21:14] ---**
They're strong! They're incredibly strong!
**[21:18] ---**
*There's no way...*
**[21:21] ---**
*I used Zoom to come back and report!*
**[21:25] ---**
Let's go help them!
**[21:26] ---**
Wait!
**[21:27] ---**
Zoom can't go anywhere
we've never been before!
**[21:31] ---**
Then we just need to fly north!
**[21:34] ---**
If Popp and I go on ahead...!
**[21:40] ---**
Don't bother with that.
**[21:43] ---**
I'm all the help they need.
**[21:47] ---**
Who are you?
**[21:51] ---**
My name is Nova.
**[21:54] ---**
They call me the Hero of the North.
**[22:04] ---**
*Even if you face the devil

THE HADLAR ROYAL GUARD
**[01:54] ---**
That was pretty rough.
**[01:57] ---**
Hey, you're the first honorable member
of the Beast King Commandos!
**[02:01] ---**
You're a Terrordactyl...
**[02:03] ---**
But that's too long,
so I'll call you "Terry!"
**[02:08] ---**
Yup, yup.
**[02:10] ---**
Hm?
**[02:15] ---**
Uh...
**[02:17] ---**
You look like you want to join.
**[02:22] ---**
Then you'll have to
idolize me as your leader!
**[02:25] ---**
Got it?
**[02:29] ---**
Is that a fire?
**[02:33] ---**
No, our objective is to the north!
**[02:43] ---**
My name is Nova.
**[02:46] ---**
They call me the Hero of the North.
**[02:49] ---**
What?!
**[02:52] ---**
The Hero of the North?
**[02:57] ---**
I'll go rescue Zababa with my Zoom spell.
**[03:00] ---**
I don't need the help of
a bunch of amateurs.
**[03:08] ---**
What?! Do you know who we are?!
**[03:11] ---**
The self-proclaimed "Heroes"
from Papnica, right?
**[03:17] ---**
W-Why you...!
**[03:18] ---**
That's enough, Nova!
**[03:21] ---**
What is it, Dad?
**[03:24] ---**
Dad?!
**[03:25] ---**
Please excuse him.
**[03:27] ---**
Nova is my son,
and Captain of the Knights of Ringaia.
**[03:34] ---**
Nova, you disrespect the Hero
and his friends!
**[03:38] ---**
What's wrong with stating the truth?
**[03:41] ---**
Besides, I can't stand everybody
calling themselves Heroes.
**[03:46] ---**
There's only one true Hero
that the world needs to respect!
**[03:54] ---**
You bastard! That's our line!
**[03:57] ---**
Wait, Popp!
**[03:59] ---**
Don't stop me, Dai!
**[04:01] ---**
This isn't the time for that!
**[04:09] ---**
Will you take us to Zababa with you?
**[04:12] ---**
It's better if we all fight together!
**[04:15] ---**
I see. You must be Dai.
**[04:18] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:28] ---**
Huh?!
**[04:35] ---**
That's... an Aura Shot!
**[04:38] ---**
And he's pretty adept at it!
**[04:43] ---**
No thanks. I'll be going alone.
**[04:48] ---**
I'd heard the rumors...
**[04:50] ---**
but knowing I was being compared
to a shrimp like you irritates me.
**[04:56] ---**
I'll protect everyone.
**[04:59] ---**
Zoom!
**[05:01] ---**
Wait, Nova!
**[05:03] ---**
Get back here!
**[05:08] ---**
That snotty little...!
**[05:10] ---**
What a hopelessly selfish Hero.
**[05:14] ---**
Please forgive me.
**[05:15] ---**
I tried to raise him strictly,
**[05:18] ---**
but recently, he won't even listen to me.
**[05:22] ---**
Talk about overconfident!
**[05:24] ---**
Our Ringaia Army was dispatched to Orzam
to help them from being wiped out.
**[05:31] ---**
During that time, the Dark Army
destroyed our homeland.
**[05:36] ---**
He still believes he could have
saved Ringaia had he been here.
**[05:44] ---**
Baran was the one who destroyed Ringaia.
**[05:47] ---**
Even if that boy had been there...
**[05:50] ---**
Guys like that don't learn
until they get hurt!
**[05:54] ---**
But it's too dangerous
for him to go alone!
**[05:57] ---**
He already went off alone!
**[06:01] ---**
It's true he's arrogant
and quite self-centered...
**[06:06] ---**
but rescuing the port is more important!
**[06:11] ---**
Let's go! Leona's right!
**[06:14] ---**
Didn't he make you mad?
**[06:16] ---**
Who cares who's a Hero and who's not?
**[06:20] ---**
Huh?!
**[06:21] ---**
It's better to have more strong allies.
**[06:24] ---**
It doesn't matter if there happen to be
two, three, or even a hundred Heroes!
**[06:32] ---**
It looks like Dai wins this argument!
**[06:35] ---**
Honestly, the way your mind works
never ceases to amaze with its simplicity!
**[06:42] ---**
Let's go!
**[06:43] ---**
Okay!
**[06:47] ---**
Dai and I will go ahead
using Levizoom spells!
**[06:49] ---**
Everybody follow after!
**[06:51] ---**
Got it!
**[06:52] ---**
Wait, Popp!
**[06:54] ---**
I have clothes for you
made from the same material as Dai's.
**[06:59] ---**
Thanks, but we're in a hurry, Princess.
**[07:02] ---**
Plus, am I supposed to strip here?
**[07:05] ---**
It's a type of outerwear,
so just wear it over your clothes!
**[07:09] ---**
Huh.
**[07:10] ---**
Dai.
**[07:12] ---**
I'm sorry. Please look after my son.
**[07:15] ---**
Okay!
**[07:46] ---**
Oh? Another punching bag to play with?
**[07:50] ---**
When will the real Hero
and his friends come?
**[07:55] ---**
I guess you need your eyes checked!
**[07:58] ---**
What?
**[07:59] ---**
The real one is right here.
**[08:02] ---**
The real one?
**[08:04] ---**
Sir Nova!
**[08:06] ---**
Please run!
**[08:08] ---**
Th-That's right! Wait until Dai gets here!
**[08:14] ---**
Your friend's right.
**[08:16] ---**
If you're going to fight, shouldn't you
wait until Dai, the Hero arrives?
**[08:22] ---**
Well?
**[08:28] ---**
This stuff is amazing!
**[08:30] ---**
It's so thin yet still
as tough as Dai's clothes!
**[08:34] ---**
Hey! Wait up!
**[08:36] ---**
I just learned how to use Levizoom
without my crest!
**[08:42] ---**
If you insist.
**[08:47] ---**
Oh well.
**[08:49] ---**
Recently, your power's been increasing
like you're some kind of beast.
**[08:54] ---**
It feels nice to still be
better than you at something.
**[08:58] ---**
Beast is a bit much.
**[09:04] ---**
Don't make me repeat myself!
**[09:09] ---**
I, Nova, am the true Hero! Not Dai!
**[09:14] ---**
All everybody talks about is Dai...
**[09:16] ---**
What's so great about him?!
**[09:20] ---**
Stay back, everybody.
**[09:23] ---**
Overconfident fools like him...
**[09:26] ---**
need a little lesson from me.
**[09:46] ---**
I guess you haven't heard
that we're made of Orichalcum.
**[09:52] ---**
I see.
**[09:54] ---**
Unfortunately, breaking my sword
doesn't hinder my killer attack at all!
**[09:59] ---**
What?!
**[10:09] ---**
That's...
**[10:11] ---**
Hmm.
**[10:13] ---**
Aura Blade!
**[10:17] ---**
No matter how tough Orichalcum is,
it will break against a greater force!
**[10:23] ---**
My sword of Aura is much sharper
than even a legendary weapon!
**[10:31] ---**
There they are!
**[10:32] ---**
Nova's still alright!
**[10:36] ---**
They're finally here.
**[10:38] ---**
Nova!
**[10:39] ---**
Shut up and back off!
**[10:40] ---**
But...!
**[10:41] ---**
His Aura is amazing!
**[10:43] ---**
He just might...
**[10:46] ---**
I said to stay back.
**[10:49] ---**
Come on.
**[10:50] ---**
Die, you piece of scrap!
**[11:00] ---**
Northern...
**[11:03] ---**
Grand...
**[11:07] ---**
Blade!
**[11:23] ---**
Hey! He actually did it!
**[11:26] ---**
No...
**[11:33] ---**
That actually hurt!
**[11:35] ---**
I guess for a human, this would be like
banging your head on a corner!
**[11:57] ---**
Not bad.
**[11:59] ---**
For a preliminary fight...
**[12:05] ---**
that was fun.
**[12:09] ---**
CRACKLE
ICE-TYPE SPELL
**[12:14] ---**
ULTRA COMBUSTION SLASH
**[12:22] ---**
No...
**[12:24] ---**
Impossible! He's not hurt?!
**[12:28] ---**
*That should have damaged him,
no matter how tough he is!*
**[12:33] ---**
It's very simple.
**[12:36] ---**
Even when you humans
focus with your frail bodies,
**[12:40] ---**
you can increase your defensive power.
**[12:44] ---**
I merely did the same thing.
**[12:46] ---**
I already knew you would aim for my head.
**[12:49] ---**
If I just focus all my power here,
I can withstand an attack like that.
**[12:56] ---**
*They're strong!*
**[12:57] ---**
*They're unlike any enemy
we've faced before!*
**[13:01] ---**
*One thing is clear.*
**[13:03] ---**
*They're not strong only because
they're made of Orichalcum!*
**[13:07] ---**
*They're true pieces of battle!*
**[13:09] ---**
*They're born to fight. All they know
is combat... They're weapons of war.*
**[13:14] ---**
*They're all born geniuses of battle!*
**[13:19] ---**
Damn it!
**[13:20] ---**
Wait, Nova!
**[13:21] ---**
Don't touch me!
**[13:23] ---**
I'm stronger than this!
**[13:25] ---**
My next attack...!
**[13:26] ---**
Knock it off!
**[13:27] ---**
You're strong enough to know
how dangerous they are!
**[13:33] ---**
He's right.
**[13:35] ---**
Work with us!
**[13:37] ---**
No!
**[13:38] ---**
What?!
**[13:39] ---**
As the Hero of the North...
**[13:41] ---**
I shall defeat them with my own power!
**[13:44] ---**
Look around you!
**[13:54] ---**
They all need help!
**[13:56] ---**
Isn't protecting friends
what a Hero is supposed to do?!
**[14:01] ---**
Defeating the enemy
will protect them sooner!
**[14:04] ---**
That's not being a Hero!
**[14:05] ---**
Shut up!
**[14:08] ---**
Nova!
**[14:10] ---**
I won't...
**[14:11] ---**
I won't let you lecture me
about being a Hero!
**[14:22] ---**
Needle...
**[14:26] ---**
Thousand.
**[14:34] ---**
Nova!
**[14:39] ---**
Needle Thousand.
**[14:41] ---**
You used it on an enemy that weak?
**[14:45] ---**
It would be an insult
to have our guest of honor wait.
**[14:49] ---**
Allow me a belated introduction.
**[14:54] ---**
We are Dark Commander Hadlar's
loyal servants.
**[14:58] ---**
The Hadlar Royal Guard.
**[15:01] ---**
I am the queen and leader, Albinass.
**[15:07] ---**
I'm the pawn, Hym.
You remember me, don't you?
**[15:11] ---**
I am the knight who races across
the battlefield, Sigma.
**[15:16] ---**
Remember me.
**[15:18] ---**
My name is Fenbren.
**[15:19] ---**
I am the Bishop of the Royal Guard,
and the perfect hunter.
**[15:28] ---**
What's that?!
**[15:30] ---**
And there's one more.
**[15:41] ---**
The ship...
**[15:42] ---**
is on land?!
**[15:48] ---**
He is the rook, Block.
**[15:52] ---**
He does not speak,
so I shall introduce him.
**[15:57] ---**
Block, that ship is important to them!
**[16:01] ---**
Give it back!
**[16:03] ---**
You mean...?!
**[16:10] ---**
Everybody run!
**[16:24] ---**
The cannons' gunpowder must have ignited.
**[16:30] ---**
Darn it!
**[16:32] ---**
Dai, this could actually be our chance!
**[16:35] ---**
While this smoke is hiding us,
**[16:39] ---**
I'll use my Extreme Spell to finish this!
**[16:42] ---**
Extreme Spell?!
**[16:44] ---**
Yeah!
**[16:46] ---**
An ambush for an ambush!
**[16:48] ---**
Before they can reveal their power,
**[16:50] ---**
I'll annihilate them all with my Medroa!
**[16:58] ---**
Popp, what is that?!
**[17:00] ---**
I'm going to fabricate Magic Power that'll
annihilate our enemies in an instant!
**[17:06] ---**
This thing packs a punch!
**[17:10] ---**
Sweet! My clothes don't burn!
**[17:17] ---**
An arrow of light?! That's amazing!
**[17:20] ---**
I'll explain it later!
After I blow them away!
**[17:26] ---**
They're not coming out. Are they dead?
**[17:29] ---**
Unlikely. That was hardly
enough to kill them.
**[17:32] ---**
I guess I'll drag them out.
**[17:37] ---**
Sorry. I still haven't memorized
your names and faces.
**[17:42] ---**
I'll end it with this!
**[17:46] ---**
Take this!
**[17:46] ---**
Not yet!
**[17:48] ---**
Nova?!
**[17:49] ---**
Not yet! I haven't been beaten yet!
**[17:53] ---**
Don't! Normal spells won't work on them!
**[17:55] ---**
Magic may not work,
but they should be momentarily frozen!
**[17:59] ---**
If I attack in that moment...!
**[18:01] ---**
Kacrackle!
**[18:08] ---**
Now!
**[18:24] ---**
Popp!
**[18:37] ---**
That was an impressive spell.
**[18:39] ---**
Darn it!
**[18:40] ---**
Oh no! One of them can reflect spells!
**[18:44] ---**
Indeed.
**[18:45] ---**
This Mirror of Shahal is the ultimate item
that can reflect any spell that hits it.
**[18:52] ---**
And at the same time...
**[18:55] ---**
it is the ultimate shield.
**[18:58] ---**
This is bad!
**[19:00] ---**
*Listen up, Popp.*
**[19:02] ---**
There's one thing I have to warn you
about using Medroa.
**[19:06] ---**
Watch out for counters.
**[19:09] ---**
Counters?
**[19:10] ---**
The spell Bounce can reflect a spell
back at its caster.
**[19:16] ---**
There are also legendary weapons
that have the same ability.
**[19:21] ---**
If the enemy has one, it's game over.
**[19:24] ---**
You'll be the ones wiped out.
**[19:26] ---**
It's why I was too scared to use it
back in the day.
**[19:30] ---**
I'm fine dying from my own mistake,
**[19:33] ---**
but I couldn't stand it
if it took out my friends too.
**[19:37] ---**
I get it. Being too powerful
is this spell's greatest weakness.
**[19:46] ---**
Now I can't use Medroa against them...
**[19:49] ---**
But it's a silver lining.
**[19:52] ---**
If Nova hadn't interrupted me,
we'd be annihilated.
**[19:56] ---**
Wait! Where's Nova?!
**[20:05] ---**
Nova!
**[20:05] ---**
When did you grab him?!
**[20:07] ---**
Darn it!
**[20:10] ---**
Dai...
**[20:13] ---**
It looks like...
you were right... after all.
**[20:22] ---**
I guess I'm not...
a real... Hero.
**[20:29] ---**
No Hero would be... this pathetic.
**[20:35] ---**
Damn it...
**[20:39] ---**
Damn it!
**[20:41] ---**
Nova!
**[20:43] ---**
I guess this was a good lesson.
**[20:47] ---**
Your whole body is frozen.
**[20:50] ---**
One punch and I can shatter you...
**[20:53] ---**
like powdered snow.
**[20:55] ---**
Don't!
**[20:56] ---**
You cruel bastard!
**[20:58] ---**
You're wrong!
**[21:00] ---**
I know how he feels all too well!
**[21:04] ---**
There are those of us
**[21:06] ---**
who would rather die beautifully,
than to live in disgrace.
**[21:11] ---**
Right?
**[21:12] ---**
Darn it!
**[21:14] ---**
Here's a lesson to take with you.
**[21:17] ---**
In this world,
there's always someone stronger.
**[21:21] ---**
Well... goodbye!
**[21:24] ---**
Nova!
**[21:25] ---**
At least die gloriously, you loser!
**[21:30] ---**
No!
**[21:42] ---**
You talk too much.
**[21:45] ---**
But you were right about one thing.
**[21:48] ---**
There's always someone stronger!
**[21:54] ---**
Hyunckel!

**[01:50] ---**
Nova!
**[01:52] ---**
I guess it was a good lesson.
**[01:56] ---**
Here's a lesson to take with you.
**[01:59] ---**
In this world,
there's always someone stronger.
**[02:03] ---**
Well... goodbye!
**[02:06] ---**
Nova!
**[02:08] ---**
At least die gloriously, you loser!
**[02:12] ---**
No!
**[02:25] ---**
You talk too much.
**[02:27] ---**
But you were right about one thing.
**[02:30] ---**
There's always someone stronger!
**[02:36] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[02:45] ---**
Maam! Big Guy!
**[02:52] ---**
Rushing while carrying three was rough.
**[02:55] ---**
You can rest for a while.
**[02:58] ---**
-Crocodine!
-Right!
**[03:03] ---**
Yow, ow, ow!
**[03:07] ---**
Be a little more gentle, Big Guy.
**[03:11] ---**
Thank you! But be careful!
**[03:14] ---**
They're really strong!
**[03:18] ---**
So all the Disciples of Avan are here.
**[03:21] ---**
I suppose we can't back down anymore.
**[03:25] ---**
Look Dai.
**[03:30] ---**
I impaled his head and he still lives.
**[03:33] ---**
They really are just like Flazzard.
**[03:36] ---**
They're metallic lifeforms
made by Forbidden Magic.
**[03:39] ---**
If we find their cores and use
our Air technique, they can be defeated.
**[03:46] ---**
That's right. We just need
to find their cores!
**[03:49] ---**
Don't bother searching!
**[03:51] ---**
Our cores are right here!
**[03:54] ---**
The same as you humans.
**[03:56] ---**
Is he an idiot?!
He just revealed their weakness!
**[04:00] ---**
Knowing that won't help you can beat us.
**[04:03] ---**
Just like you humans,
it's meaningless if you can't hit it!
**[04:08] ---**
This makes it five against five.
We're evenly matched.
**[04:11] ---**
As a reward for impaling me,
let us show you...
**[04:18] ---**
the true power of the Hadlar Royal Guard!
**[04:21] ---**
Their confidence is almost terrifying.
**[04:24] ---**
So what?!
**[04:26] ---**
After all we've been through,
our teamwork won't lose to those puppets!
**[04:31] ---**
Maam, try to take care of that horse-head.
**[04:35] ---**
Without his spell reflector,
I can blow them all away
**[04:39] ---**
with my Extreme Spell!
**[04:42] ---**
Got it!
**[04:47] ---**
I'll take the big one.
**[04:51] ---**
Dai, which one is their leader?
**[04:53] ---**
Hadlar isn't here, so that queen
should be their leader.
**[04:58] ---**
Got it.
**[05:01] ---**
I'll be taking the armoured one, Albinass.
**[05:05] ---**
You will not, Hym.
You must take the Hero, Dai.
**[05:09] ---**
What? You're telling me
to just ignore what he did to me?
**[05:13] ---**
I won't be happy
until I impale his head, too!
**[05:17] ---**
We are all pieces for Lord Hadlar.
**[05:20] ---**
We live and die all for Lord Hadlar.
**[05:24] ---**
Don't forget that.
**[05:26] ---**
I guess I can't argue with that.
**[05:28] ---**
If you're going to fight, revealing their
strengths will better serve Lord Hadlar.
**[06:39] ---**
Whoa!
**[06:50] ---**
Very well, then!
**[06:54] ---**
You've got to know when to switch gears!
**[06:59] ---**
I'm taking the Hero!
**[07:09] ---**
Frizz!
**[07:16] ---**
*That's it, Hym. Keep it up.*
**[07:22] ---**
Are you my opponent?
**[07:25] ---**
How confident. You could have
pierced my core from behind.
**[07:30] ---**
Are you a woman?
**[07:33] ---**
No need for concern.
**[07:35] ---**
I am merely a piece
bearing the role of queen.
**[07:39] ---**
A piece has no gender.
No need to hold back.
**[07:43] ---**
You're pretty brave.
**[07:44] ---**
But I think you underestimate us.
**[07:48] ---**
That one must be a pawn.
**[07:51] ---**
Did you think pitting the weakest piece
against Dai would actually stop him?
**[07:56] ---**
You're the one underestimating us.
**[07:59] ---**
Excuse me, but I believe you're unfamiliar
with the game of chess.
**[08:05] ---**
In chess, there are no stronger
or weaker pieces.
**[08:09] ---**
There is only a difference in abilities.
**[08:12] ---**
A pawn is not necessarily
weaker than a queen.
**[08:16] ---**
It's all in how you use it.
**[08:18] ---**
Recognize your opponent's abilities
and deploy your pieces accordingly.
**[08:22] ---**
It's the basic strategy in chess
to stop your enemy.
**[08:32] ---**
*Right there!*
**[08:33] ---**
*If I can hit the heart with Air Slash...!*
**[08:38] ---**
Now!
**[08:39] ---**
Avan Style Sword Technique! Air Slash!
**[08:47] ---**
If you're using this knife against me,
you still don't understand my power.
**[08:53] ---**
Or is that thing on your back
just a decoration?
**[08:57] ---**
Well?!
**[08:59] ---**
Dai!
**[09:01] ---**
Hym is unmatched
in close-quarters combat.
**[09:06] ---**
Without your Hero, it seems
you're the ones at a disadvantage.
**[09:27] ---**
*I can't shatter that shield.*
**[09:30] ---**
*I need to stop his movements!*
**[09:32] ---**
For a human to attain such speed
is quite a feat.
**[09:37] ---**
The speed...!
**[09:42] ---**
However...
**[09:46] ---**
no one can eclipse my agility and speed!
**[09:50] ---**
I appears that our piece placement
was better than yours.
**[09:55] ---**
Then I merely need to take out
the queen who commands them!
**[10:01] ---**
*What?!*
**[10:02] ---**
It hardly bears mentioning,
but I, too, am very strong.
**[10:09] ---**
This is bad!
They're controlling the battle!
**[10:13] ---**
I need them grouped together,
otherwise I can't cast my spell.
**[10:18] ---**
What can we do?!
**[10:19] ---**
And where did that pointy guy
who was chasing me go?
**[10:24] ---**
Right here!
**[10:27] ---**
You're wide open!
**[10:29] ---**
You bastard!
**[10:34] ---**
My brand-new staff!
**[10:36] ---**
Over 80% of my body is blades.
**[10:39] ---**
I wouldn't suggest touching me.
**[10:43] ---**
Get back! Don't touch me!
**[10:45] ---**
Popp!
**[10:47] ---**
Come on! You don't have time
to be worried about others!
**[10:53] ---**
Darn it!
**[11:01] ---**
*It won't come out!*
**[11:03] ---**
What a disappointment!
**[11:08] ---**
Don't carry around a weapon
that you can't even use!
**[11:12] ---**
It appears that he hasn't yet
mastered that sword.
**[11:17] ---**
It seems that we need not bother
summoning Lord Hadlar.
**[11:22] ---**
Don't be so sure about that!
**[11:28] ---**
*Impossible! He actually hit me?!*
**[11:31] ---**
Unfortunately, we humans aren't pieces.
**[11:35] ---**
Don't think you can
approach this like a game.
**[11:41] ---**
Sizz!
**[11:45] ---**
Futile, futile!
**[11:57] ---**
Everyone!
**[11:58] ---**
Draw it. This is your last chance.
**[12:04] ---**
*At this rate, everyone is going to die!*
**[12:09] ---**
*If I could draw my sword,
I could defeat them easily!*
**[12:15] ---**
*Darn it! Why won't it come out?!*
**[12:20] ---**
What a joke. You really can't draw it.
**[12:23] ---**
You're not worth Lord Hadlar's time.
**[12:26] ---**
My Heat Knuckle can easily shatter
someone like you.
**[12:34] ---**
Time to finish things.
**[12:37] ---**
Don't worry. I'll take your head
before you feel any pain.
**[12:45] ---**
Nova?!
**[12:48] ---**
Curse you, you feeble weakling!
**[12:52] ---**
Quick! Give me your staff!
**[12:56] ---**
It's over!
**[13:07] ---**
Nova!
**[13:08] ---**
Thank you for saving me, Nova!
**[13:10] ---**
Don't bother thanking me.
**[13:13] ---**
It's a Hero's duty to protect the weak.
**[13:19] ---**
Don't worry. He's just unconscious.
**[13:22] ---**
He exhausted himself
by using up the last of his Aura.
**[13:26] ---**
He fought to the very limit.
He's tougher than I thought.
**[13:33] ---**
To the very limit!
**[13:39] ---**
REFRACTOR FIST
**[13:44] ---**
DARK PUPPETRY AURA HAND
**[13:52] ---**
It's no good!
**[13:53] ---**
All this training and I couldn't
draw my sword once!
**[13:59] ---**
Hyunckel's already mastered
the Dark Armour Spear...
**[14:04] ---**
But I...
**[14:05] ---**
I...
**[14:06] ---**
Don't you get it, Dai?
**[14:09] ---**
It's only natural.
Of course you can't draw it.
**[14:12] ---**
The Sword of Dai can't be unsheathed
to face a retired warrior like me.
**[14:18] ---**
If there's a reason that
you can't draw your sword...
**[14:23] ---**
it's in your inability
to properly read your opponent.
**[14:28] ---**
The issue is in you!
**[14:31] ---**
It's... in me?
**[14:37] ---**
*That's it!*
**[14:38] ---**
*Ever since I sliced that giant
Sovereign Rock Castle,*
**[14:41] ---**
*I've been unconsciously
relying on the sword's power!*
**[14:46] ---**
*I mistook the power I wielded
with the sword as my own!*
**[14:51] ---**
*But...*
**[14:52] ---**
*my sword has its own soul.*
**[14:55] ---**
*It can read my enemies
far better than I can.*
**[15:00] ---**
*I'd forgotten that!*
**[15:03] ---**
*Only when I've fought to the limit
with my own strength,*
**[15:08] ---**
*will my sword lend its power to me!*
**[15:13] ---**
*Nova, seeing you fight so desperately*
**[15:17] ---**
*has made me understand
what Lon Beruk tried to teach me.*
**[15:22] ---**
*I guess we both have
a lot to learn as Heroes.*
**[15:28] ---**
There's still a way!
**[15:29] ---**
What's wrong, Dai?
**[15:31] ---**
If I still can't draw my sword,
**[15:33] ---**
it means there's still a way
to defeat them without it!
**[15:40] ---**
Dammit!
**[15:47] ---**
You and your meddling!
You'll pay for that!
**[15:51] ---**
Full power Draconic Aura!
**[16:02] ---**
Dai, knock Hym this way!
**[16:04] ---**
*That's right! I'm not the only one
who can use Air attacks!*
**[16:08] ---**
Avan Style Spear Technique!
**[16:10] ---**
Air Strike!
**[16:14] ---**
Hym!
**[16:17] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[16:18] ---**
Great! That's one down!
**[16:20] ---**
No.
**[16:28] ---**
You still haven't mastered Air Strike?!
**[16:32] ---**
It's true that it's not an easy skill.
**[16:35] ---**
But the queen spit this out,
**[16:38] ---**
shifting my aim from Hym's core.
**[16:42] ---**
Without this, I could have ended it.
**[16:44] ---**
It's instantly fatal
depending on where you're hit.
**[16:50] ---**
I'd suggest healing it quickly.
**[16:53] ---**
Maam!
**[16:54] ---**
Maam, we need you!
**[17:02] ---**
Why you...!
**[17:03] ---**
Everyone gather for a moment!
**[17:07] ---**
Understood.
**[17:13] ---**
Squelch.
**[17:20] ---**
Damn. I can't lift my arm.
**[17:23] ---**
-Fenbren.
-Sure.
**[17:33] ---**
That makes things easier.
**[17:35] ---**
To be honest, I misjudged them.
**[17:38] ---**
Sorry, Albinass.
**[17:40] ---**
I did, too.
**[17:42] ---**
The Disciples of Avan have grown far more
powerful than what Lord Hadlar described.
**[17:49] ---**
Our abilities surpass theirs.
**[17:53] ---**
But their experience
makes them relentless.
**[17:56] ---**
They can't be underestimated.
**[17:58] ---**
You should be okay, Hyunckel.
**[18:00] ---**
Thanks.
**[18:01] ---**
Hym is going to fight without an arm...
**[18:05] ---**
Where do they get that tenacity?!
**[18:08] ---**
Popp has a point.
**[18:10] ---**
Their solidarity and sense of purpose
are terrifyingly strong.
**[18:14] ---**
But Dai, while I missed,
you were on the right track.
**[18:18] ---**
You still have your friends.
**[18:20] ---**
Don't try to do everything yourself.
**[18:25] ---**
I made my own discovery.
**[18:27] ---**
Crocodine!
**[18:28] ---**
Individually, their abilities
are far beyond our own.
**[18:33] ---**
We can't win fighting power
with power or speed with speed.
**[18:38] ---**
We should fight their strengths
with different strengths.
**[18:42] ---**
I get it.
Matching their strengths is no good.
**[18:47] ---**
Okay! Let's switch things up!
**[18:49] ---**
Maam, confuse the big one with your speed.
**[18:54] ---**
And Big Guy, use your strength
to overpower the knight.
**[18:58] ---**
Dai and Hyunckel, I need you to take
the other three at once.
**[19:02] ---**
Keep together as a team!
**[19:06] ---**
I'm going to prepare my Medroa!
**[19:09] ---**
Once the knight's mirror is disabled,
try to gather them together!
**[19:14] ---**
I'll be firing a huge spell,
so get some distance!
**[19:18] ---**
Got it?!
**[19:18] ---**
Right!
**[19:19] ---**
Here we go then!
**[19:21] ---**
Beast King Redemption Blast!
**[19:53] ---**
Okay!
**[20:04] ---**
Pathetic!
**[20:05] ---**
You can't beat me
with an Aura Flow this weak!
**[20:10] ---**
Then how about the other whirlpool?!
**[20:13] ---**
What?!
**[20:14] ---**
I risked my life
in the Valge Whirlpool for this!
**[20:17] ---**
My new attack will tear you apart!
**[20:29] ---**
A second twister with a reverse spin?!
**[20:42] ---**
Beast King Indomitable Blast!
**[20:54] ---**
Sigma!
**[20:58] ---**
Now! Everybody scatter!
**[21:03] ---**
A spell won't work!
**[21:05] ---**
No!
**[21:06] ---**
Medroa!
**[21:20] ---**
*W-What power!*
**[21:22] ---**
*That's worth bragging about.*
**[21:25] ---**
*Well done learning such a spell.*
**[21:28] ---**
*That's amazing, Popp!*
**[21:35] ---**
Popp!
**[21:37] ---**
That was amazing!
**[21:38] ---**
So that's what all that training was for!
**[21:42] ---**
I did it!
**[21:43] ---**
I definitely hit them this time.
**[21:46] ---**
One good hit with that...
**[21:58] ---**
and we win!
**[22:04] ---**
*Even if you face the devil
With logic on your side*

WE'RE THE BEAST KING COMMANDOS
**[01:50] ---**
Medroa!
**[02:00] ---**
We win!
**[02:02] ---**
Wow! Very impressive, Popp!
**[02:05] ---**
You wiped out
those powerful enemies all at once!
**[02:09] ---**
Couldn't have done it
without your new attack, Big Guy.
**[02:12] ---**
It seems there was a spell
that not even Orichalcum can withstand.
**[02:19] ---**
What's wrong?!
**[02:20] ---**
What is it, Hyunckel?!
**[02:22] ---**
Keep your guard up!
Something's still there!
**[02:29] ---**
What?!
**[02:35] ---**
It can't be!
**[02:39] ---**
That's...
**[02:42] ---**
impossible!
**[02:44] ---**
They survived!
**[02:45] ---**
How?! Nothing could survive
a Medroa spell unscathed!
**[02:49] ---**
That was close.
They've got a pretty nasty Mage with them.
**[03:03] ---**
Block! Are you okay?!
**[03:05] ---**
Back there...
**[03:06] ---**
*if Block hadn't fallen on us
to push us into the ground...*
**[03:13] ---**
all five of us would have died.
**[03:16] ---**
Thanks, Block.
**[03:18] ---**
You're a lot sharper than you look.
**[03:23] ---**
I-It's the optimal way to dodge.
**[03:26] ---**
And you wouldn't even think of it, unless
you were willing to sacrifice yourself!
**[03:31] ---**
Even I have to admit
that was pretty brave!
**[03:34] ---**
It looks like even
the evil can use teamwork.
**[03:37] ---**
The value of using individual strengths
to compensate for weaknesses...
**[03:43] ---**
is something we know all too well.
**[03:46] ---**
We already knew we'd be fighting
powerful enemies!
**[03:50] ---**
No matter who they are, all we can do
is fight on together, right?!
**[03:57] ---**
Everyone!
**[03:58] ---**
Exactly.
**[04:00] ---**
I guess so.
**[04:01] ---**
We're hardly nimble enough
to keep pace with our enemies.
**[04:06] ---**
Okay, let's pull ourselves together
and deal the finishing blow!
**[04:10] ---**
That won't happen.
**[04:11] ---**
Sigma?!
**[04:18] ---**
This Mirror of Shahal
will not break even if I die.
**[04:23] ---**
It's a legendary item Lord Hadlar
granted me, not a part of my body.
**[04:31] ---**
That was quite an impressive spell.
**[04:33] ---**
But now that we've seen it,
it won't work on the Royal Guard again.
**[04:41] ---**
Let's get on with round two!
**[04:46] ---**
Hym.
**[04:47] ---**
Block needs healing first.
**[04:49] ---**
And our mission is to...
**[04:51] ---**
Who cares?! I'm done with that, Albinass!
**[04:54] ---**
Nothing can stop me
once I'm this fired up!
**[04:57] ---**
I'll avenge Block, too, so don't worry!
**[05:00] ---**
*That's enough, Hym.*
**[05:05] ---**
*Not that I dislike
that personality of yours...*
**[05:08] ---**
*but don't make things
difficult for Albinass.*
**[05:13] ---**
It's you!
**[05:19] ---**
Lord Hadlar!
**[05:21] ---**
There he is!
**[05:23] ---**
Hadlar!
**[05:25] ---**
Dai.
**[05:26] ---**
Wait!
**[05:31] ---**
It's just an illusion!
**[05:33] ---**
An illusion?! Then he's not really here?!
**[05:37] ---**
That's correct.
**[05:38] ---**
This is just a magical projection.
The real me is in the Field of Death.
**[05:44] ---**
So you sit back and let your servants
do your dirty work?
**[05:48] ---**
I guess the rumors that you'd grown
as a warrior were just a lie, Hadlar!
**[05:52] ---**
I never intended to defeat you through
an ambush, nor did I believe I could.
**[05:58] ---**
We were content waiting for you
in the Field of Death.
**[06:03] ---**
But then the other humans
decided to meddle.
**[06:06] ---**
Huh?!
**[06:07] ---**
What are you talking about?!
**[06:08] ---**
I told you! The Royal Guard
protects the Field of Death!
**[06:13] ---**
We would accept
your challenge there fair and square!
**[06:17] ---**
But then we learned the other humans
intended to invade the Field of Death.
**[06:23] ---**
We came to weed out the unworthy.
**[06:26] ---**
Weed out?!
**[06:26] ---**
On Lord Hadlar's orders,
we came to test all of you!
**[06:32] ---**
Basically, anyone not standing now is
unworthy of entering the Field of Death!
**[06:40] ---**
Dai, you and your friends are all we want.
**[06:43] ---**
I won't have the Dark King's presence
soiled by the blood of the unworthy.
**[06:48] ---**
I'll be waiting!
**[06:51] ---**
Come to the Field of Death at once!
**[06:54] ---**
Wait!
**[07:00] ---**
And with that,
**[07:01] ---**
we shall take our leave.
**[07:03] ---**
Seeing your strengths
made our time well spent.
**[07:08] ---**
Come when you will. We shall welcome you.
**[07:11] ---**
Farewell.
**[07:16] ---**
I want the Hero, but I want you even more.
**[07:19] ---**
Hyunckel, was it?
I'll be paying you back for this.
**[07:23] ---**
But Lord Hadlar's orders must be obeyed!
**[07:27] ---**
I'll be praying that
he orders me to kill you.
**[07:35] ---**
Get back here!
Screw you and your weeding out!
**[07:38] ---**
Popp! Don't make the same mistake!
**[07:41] ---**
Huh?!
**[07:42] ---**
Oh, right.
**[07:43] ---**
We need to tend to everybody first!
**[07:45] ---**
We need more help!
Dai and Popp, get Leona and the others!
**[07:48] ---**
Got it!
**[07:54] ---**
We have done as you commanded.
**[07:56] ---**
Well done.
**[07:58] ---**
Lord Hadlar, Hym, Sigma, and Block
require regeneration.
**[08:03] ---**
Very well.
**[08:05] ---**
As do you.
**[08:06] ---**
It's just a scratch.
**[08:09] ---**
I see you took quite a beating.
**[08:12] ---**
What did you think of them?
**[08:13] ---**
I like them. They make worthy opponents.
**[08:18] ---**
Where is Fenbren?
**[08:20] ---**
A rat has entered the Field of Death.
**[08:24] ---**
It had to be dealt with.
**[08:29] ---**
You know your mission, Troop Number Three!
**[08:39] ---**
Okay!
**[08:48] ---**
I see a suspicious light!
**[08:52] ---**
What is this? It's just Popp's staff.
**[08:55] ---**
He must have lost it in the last fight.
**[08:59] ---**
I guess I'll take it to him.
**[09:01] ---**
Even he might feel some gratitude.
**[09:11] ---**
I see. So there's nothing
but bare mountains.
**[09:15] ---**
Yet when you fly over the mountains,
a mysterious force blocks you?
**[09:23] ---**
I guess recruiting Seari
was the right idea.
**[09:27] ---**
It's a Seaslime I recruited on the shore.
It's Troop Number Three.
**[09:33] ---**
Huh? Uh, sure! I-I won easily!
**[09:36] ---**
It's not very strong, but I figured
we could use it as a scout.
**[09:40] ---**
You know?!
**[09:44] ---**
It's searching the ocean floor
for an entrance.
**[09:47] ---**
If there isn't one above ground, then...
**[09:49] ---**
Very good instincts, little one.
**[09:53] ---**
You're the Dark Army!
One of the Orichalcum enemies!
**[09:57] ---**
Indeed. I am the bishop of
the Hadlar Royal Guard...
**[10:01] ---**
Fenbren.
**[10:05] ---**
BLOODY SCRYDE
**[10:10] ---**
ULTRA COMBUSTION SLASH
**[11:03] ---**
Seari?!
**[11:05] ---**
What?! A giant gate under the ocean?!
**[11:08] ---**
I see! That entrance must lead
to the Dark King!
**[11:12] ---**
So it really was underwater!
**[11:14] ---**
Hey, Dark Army! The Beast King Commandos
have found the entrance to your base!
**[11:20] ---**
How do you like that?!
**[11:23] ---**
Oh my. So you've seen
the Dark Citadel Gate.
**[11:27] ---**
The Dark Citadel Gate?!
**[11:29] ---**
That's the giant underwater gate.
**[11:32] ---**
It's the only entrance to Vearn Palace,
Dark King Vearn's Great Dark Citadel.
**[11:38] ---**
The Great Dark Citadel, Vearn Palace?!
**[11:53] ---**
You messed up! Thanks for the information!
**[11:57] ---**
Once we return to Dai
and tell him what we know,
**[12:01] ---**
they'll launch a full-scale attack
on Vearn Palace!
**[12:05] ---**
Look forward to it!
**[12:07] ---**
Sadly, little one,
your little scheme has three flaws.
**[12:14] ---**
The first is assuming
that you can leave this island!
**[12:30] ---**
Wind...? A Woosh spell?
**[12:32] ---**
Indeed. I have mastered
all Vortex-type spells.
**[12:36] ---**
I can incapacitate anyone around me
and make quick work of them.
**[12:41] ---**
Dammit!
**[12:43] ---**
The second flaw is in entering
the Great Dark Citadel.
**[12:47] ---**
This is an impossibility for any and all.
**[12:50] ---**
The Dark Citadel Gate has been sealed by
the Dark King's Supercharged Dark Magic.
**[12:56] ---**
It's a legendary gate
that hasn't opened in centuries.
**[13:01] ---**
That makes no sense!
**[13:02] ---**
Then how do you get in and out of it?!
**[13:05] ---**
We are warriors of the Dark Army,
bestowed with a special enchantment.
**[13:10] ---**
It allows us to enter and exit
with Zoom spells.
**[13:12] ---**
For an outsider
to pry open the gate and enter
**[13:16] ---**
would be impossible, no matter
what great power they wield.
**[13:20] ---**
You're saying no one can get to
the Dark King no matter how hard they try?
**[13:26] ---**
Not even a Dragon Knight could.
**[13:29] ---**
You lie! I don't believe that!
**[13:32] ---**
It doesn't really matter what you believe.
**[13:35] ---**
Your third and final flaw,
**[13:37] ---**
is assuming Dai will hear any of this.
**[13:41] ---**
Huh?
**[13:41] ---**
Because you are going to die here!
**[13:45] ---**
All Dai is going to see is your corpses!
**[14:11] ---**
Seari!
**[14:15] ---**
Worm!
**[14:18] ---**
Know your place!
**[14:21] ---**
Rattus Rocket Ram!
**[14:38] ---**
Fool. My body is almost entirely blades,
yet you flung yourself into me.
**[14:44] ---**
And you shredded yourself
just to save this little worm.
**[14:50] ---**
Sh-Shut up!
**[14:53] ---**
They may look like worms to you...
**[14:58] ---**
but they're the first followers
I've ever had!
**[15:02] ---**
They're all proud members of my troop!
**[15:06] ---**
I'm... their captain!
**[15:10] ---**
A captain protects his troops
with his life!
**[15:21] ---**
Well said. You're braver than any rat.
**[15:25] ---**
You make me want
to see you grovel for your life.
**[15:29] ---**
Huh? What?!
**[15:31] ---**
The other Royal Guard members
are all chivalrous warriors.
**[15:37] ---**
But not me.
**[15:39] ---**
I keep in line so as
not to disrupt the order, but...
**[15:45] ---**
I... am very cruel.
**[15:52] ---**
Hurry! Get him some help!
**[16:06] ---**
Th-This is...!
What a sad state of affairs!
**[16:10] ---**
Wait! Where's our army?!
**[16:12] ---**
What were our invincible
Bengarna elite warriors doing?!
**[16:18] ---**
When the dock was attacked,
they were the first to go down.
**[16:23] ---**
They're probably still in...
**[16:25] ---**
What?!
**[16:30] ---**
Nova, are you okay?!
**[16:35] ---**
Dai...
**[16:36] ---**
Thank goodness! You need healing!
**[16:38] ---**
Forget it.
**[16:40] ---**
I can't... move a single muscle.
**[16:44] ---**
I'm just dead weight.
**[16:46] ---**
I can't bear to be seen like this.
**[16:50] ---**
Consider it a mercy, and just leave me.
**[16:54] ---**
W-What are you...?!
**[16:57] ---**
Ow, ow, ow, ow! What was that for?!
**[16:59] ---**
See? You can still stand.
**[17:02] ---**
It's your stupid pride that's
sapping your energy to stand up.
**[17:07] ---**
There are many wounded here who are
weaker than you yet fought harder!
**[17:14] ---**
If you can stand, then go back
to the base on your own two feet!
**[17:18] ---**
Or would you like me to carry you?
**[17:25] ---**
I'll carry the wounded.
**[17:30] ---**
Whoever marries Maam
is in for quite a handful.
**[17:36] ---**
*That's the pot calling
the kettle black, Leona.*
**[17:41] ---**
Hey!
**[17:42] ---**
It's no good. We can't find Chiu anywhere.
**[17:46] ---**
Gomechan's missing, too.
It looks like they really went ahead.
**[17:50] ---**
What?! So they went
to the Field of Death?!
**[17:53] ---**
Sorry. If I knew he'd do this, I wouldn't
have given him the Beast King Flute.
**[17:59] ---**
He probably recruited
a flying monster and flew there.
**[18:03] ---**
He probably intends to scout,
but the enemy's too dangerous.
**[18:07] ---**
I'll use a Zoom spell and go get him.
**[18:09] ---**
Hyunckel and I will be backup.
**[18:11] ---**
Glad to have you.
**[18:13] ---**
I'll go, too.
**[18:14] ---**
Stay here, Dai.
**[18:16] ---**
It's temporary,
but we'll be splitting our forces.
**[18:19] ---**
You and Maam should
protect everybody here.
**[18:22] ---**
All right.
**[18:23] ---**
Popp.
**[18:24] ---**
Once you find Chiu, come straight back!
**[18:27] ---**
We've lost our ship, so we need
to regroup and form a new plan.
**[18:32] ---**
Fighting can come later.
**[18:34] ---**
Aye-aye. I'm well aware of that.
**[18:37] ---**
"Never make the same mistake twice"
is the Popp motto!
**[18:42] ---**
We'll be off. Look after things here.
**[18:45] ---**
Take care, you three.
**[18:55] ---**
You're quite resilient.
**[18:57] ---**
You're tougher than I thought.
**[19:01] ---**
A rat... shows its true strength...
when it's cornered!
**[19:09] ---**
And now it's over.
**[19:13] ---**
Don't... worry!
**[19:16] ---**
I-I promise...
**[19:18] ---**
I promise I'll get you all out of here!
**[19:25] ---**
This barely even tickles!
**[19:49] ---**
I doubt I'll ever meet anyone
this steadfast again!
**[20:17] ---**
Gomechan!
**[20:18] ---**
W-What was that blow?!
**[20:25] ---**
What?!
**[20:27] ---**
Impossible! This is impossible!
**[20:29] ---**
My body is made of Orichalcum!
**[20:32] ---**
That little Slime put a dent in me?!
**[20:37] ---**
Inconceivable! Impossible!
**[20:41] ---**
No matter how it happened,
I must end its life immediately.
**[20:46] ---**
Not only is this worm creepy,
**[20:48] ---**
but it goes and damages my face,
a crime worthy of death!
**[21:00] ---**
You won't touch Troop Number Two!
**[21:03] ---**
Move!
**[21:08] ---**
You troublesome rat.
**[21:11] ---**
You can both be impaled together!
**[21:20] ---**
Wh-Who's there?!
**[21:22] ---**
Who are you?!
**[21:24] ---**
What an ugly sight.
**[21:27] ---**
The strong bullying the weak...
**[21:31] ---**
I never realized how ugly it was
until I saw someone else do it.
**[21:34] ---**
What?!
**[21:38] ---**
Begone from here.
**[21:39] ---**
Otherwise you'll lose more than your eyes.
**[21:45] ---**
I don't know who you are,
but remember this!
**[21:48] ---**
I promise you'll pay for this!

THE AVAN STYLE ULTIMATE TECHNIQUE
**[02:06] ---**
What's wrong, Lord Hadlar?!
**[02:13] ---**
My conversion to Superior Being
was a rapid one.
**[02:18] ---**
It put a strain on me.
**[02:22] ---**
Should I continue to fight,
I won't last long.
**[02:27] ---**
Is beating Dai and his friends worth it?
**[02:30] ---**
It is!
**[02:32] ---**
I'd gladly pay with my life!
**[02:35] ---**
I want to know!
**[02:37] ---**
I want to know how powerful I can be
if I cast everything aside for it!
**[02:45] ---**
*Power is a hollow glory.*
**[02:48] ---**
*No matter how strong,
there's always someone stronger.*
**[02:52] ---**
*Dragon Knights, King Vearn...*
**[02:55] ---**
*I have no idea just what level
I can achieve.*
**[03:05] ---**
But I'd like to die as a more powerful
being than the Disciples of Avan.
**[03:11] ---**
I managed to kill Avan,
**[03:13] ---**
but his students kept appearing
and threatening me.
**[03:18] ---**
I merely killed Avan. I didn't defeat him.
**[03:23] ---**
I can't bear to die still losing to him.
**[03:30] ---**
Lord Hadlar...
**[03:32] ---**
Forgive me.
**[03:34] ---**
You were born from Forbidden Magic.
You can't live if I die.
**[03:38] ---**
It doesn't matter!
**[03:40] ---**
We are your pieces!
**[03:42] ---**
Use us to fulfill your ambitions!
**[03:46] ---**
If it means dying for you...
**[03:51] ---**
I would gladly be shattered to pieces!
**[03:58] ---**
Hym.. your eyes...
**[04:04] ---**
Why is water coming out of my eyes?
**[04:08] ---**
I'm not human!
**[04:11] ---**
Hym... weeps?!
**[04:18] ---**
Forgive me, Lord Hadlar.
**[04:21] ---**
Fenbren?!
**[04:25] ---**
No wonder this place is called
the Field of Death.
**[04:29] ---**
Let's hurry and find Chiu!
**[04:37] ---**
Chiu!
**[04:40] ---**
Are you okay?! You better be alive!
**[04:43] ---**
Chiu! Hang in there!
**[04:48] ---**
Oh. So you all saved me.
**[04:52] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[04:56] ---**
I found this for you. Be grateful.
**[05:00] ---**
Once I give everyone
the new intel I've discovered,
**[05:03] ---**
they will all be grateful to me.
**[05:06] ---**
Idiot! That's enough!
**[05:11] ---**
You idiot! Going to such lengths!
**[05:15] ---**
I'm going to totally chew you out
when we get home!
**[05:20] ---**
He thinks we drove off his assailant.
**[05:24] ---**
Yeah.
**[05:25] ---**
From his wounds,
it was the bishop that attacked him.
**[05:30] ---**
What's wrong?
**[05:35] ---**
Popp, take Chiu and the others and go!
**[05:39] ---**
Huh? What's the problem?
**[05:41] ---**
Even with these extra guys
I can still take everyone.
**[05:45] ---**
Forget about us.
**[05:47] ---**
Go back to base and see to their wounds.
**[05:50] ---**
Don't be stupid! You may be strong but...
**[05:55] ---**
Please! Popp!
**[05:59] ---**
Sure...
**[06:01] ---**
I don't know what it is, but be careful!
**[06:10] ---**
What was that about?
**[06:12] ---**
Come on out!
I know it's you hiding there!
**[06:18] ---**
It's been a while, you two.
**[06:24] ---**
Baran?!
**[06:27] ---**
I thought I completely hid my presence.
**[06:31] ---**
You've gotten better, Hyunckel.
**[06:35] ---**
You were wise to send that Mage home.
**[06:39] ---**
He lost his life once because of me.
**[06:43] ---**
If he saw me,
he might not be able to stand.
**[06:47] ---**
Have you come to settle things with Dai?!
**[06:52] ---**
Keep away from Dai!
**[06:54] ---**
The humans are about to gather
all of their forces
**[06:59] ---**
to attack Dark King Vearn!
**[07:02] ---**
Dai needs to be at their head!
**[07:05] ---**
I'm of the same opinion, Baran!
**[07:08] ---**
That's why I chose to stay here!
**[07:11] ---**
*I'll risk my life to prevent that fight
from ever happening again!*
**[07:17] ---**
You can risk your lives,
but you cannot defeat me.
**[07:22] ---**
What?!
**[07:23] ---**
Settle down.
**[07:24] ---**
I don't care about any of you, even Dai.
**[07:31] ---**
My objective is the Dark King himself...
**[07:35] ---**
Vearn alone!
**[07:38] ---**
Dark King Vearn?!
You're here for his head?!
**[07:41] ---**
Why?!
**[07:43] ---**
I owe you no explanations.
**[07:46] ---**
He cannot be allowed to live. That's all.
**[07:50] ---**
Wait Baran!
**[07:52] ---**
Then our objectives are aligned!
**[07:55] ---**
Let us put the past behind us
and work together!
**[08:01] ---**
You rescued Chiu, didn't you?!
**[08:04] ---**
With you by our side,
our forces will be considerable!
**[08:09] ---**
Please!
**[08:11] ---**
For Dai!
**[08:14] ---**
Crocodine! Get away!
**[08:21] ---**
Over my dead body!
**[08:30] ---**
Crocodine!
**[08:45] ---**
I am Dragon Master General Baran!
**[08:50] ---**
Don't insult me!
**[08:53] ---**
The humans are also an enemy
that must be defeated!
**[08:58] ---**
I would rather die than help them!
**[09:02] ---**
I merely saved the little rat
**[09:04] ---**
because I stumbled on him while searching
for an entrance to Vearn's stronghold.
**[09:09] ---**
It was just a whim.
**[09:12] ---**
I now know the entrance is underwater.
**[09:15] ---**
They claim not even a Dragon Knight
can penetrate it.
**[09:19] ---**
We'll just see about that.
**[09:22] ---**
Wait Baran!
**[09:24] ---**
Go alone and the enemy
will focus their attack on you!
**[09:29] ---**
And?
**[09:31] ---**
I'll face Vearn's minions
no matter how many hundred he sends!
**[09:35] ---**
From here on is between
the true Dragon Knight and the Dark King.
**[09:39] ---**
A battle beyond
your imagination will unfold.
**[09:43] ---**
Go back if you want to live.
**[09:48] ---**
Back to Dai.
**[09:50] ---**
*Those eyes...!*
**[09:51] ---**
*He's not the same Baran I once knew!*
**[09:54] ---**
*Could it be...?!*
**[10:03] ---**
Our base of operations
has become a field hospital.
**[10:08] ---**
We can still regroup.
**[10:10] ---**
Chiu and the others are okay.
**[10:12] ---**
They've been healed and are all asleep.
**[10:15] ---**
Thank goodness!
**[10:17] ---**
Now if Hyunckel and Crocodine
can just come back safely...
**[10:21] ---**
Popp, how could you leave them behind?!
**[10:24] ---**
Well, it's just that
he got so serious all of sudden.
**[10:30] ---**
I couldn't say no.
**[10:32] ---**
Why would Hyunckel act like that?
**[10:38] ---**
What's wrong?
**[10:40] ---**
I'm not sure.
**[10:45] ---**
Wait!
**[10:47] ---**
I can't let you go any further!
**[10:50] ---**
That's enough.
**[10:51] ---**
I didn't come here to thrash you two.
**[10:56] ---**
I know... no, I finally realize
what you're really after!
**[11:02] ---**
You intend to throw away
your life for Dai!
**[11:06] ---**
Not even a Dragon Knight can emerge from
a fight with Dark King Vearn unharmed.
**[11:10] ---**
You're not expecting to.
**[11:14] ---**
But I won't allow that!
**[11:17] ---**
I can't let you fight such a hopeless
battle, even if it's for Dai!
**[11:23] ---**
If it's for Dai, then wouldn't
letting me go be more beneficial?
**[11:28] ---**
Why stop me?
**[11:30] ---**
If you go alone, you'll die!
**[11:33] ---**
I can't allow that to happen!
**[11:36] ---**
No...
**[11:38] ---**
I leave Master Baran
and Master Dino in your hands.
**[11:42] ---**
This Dark Armour Spear I wield...
**[11:49] ---**
can't allow that to happen!
**[11:55] ---**
*Larhart?*
**[11:56] ---**
*You would try to dissuade me?*
**[12:01] ---**
Do you think I'll just listen
and obey you?
**[12:06] ---**
Never!
**[12:08] ---**
Sadly, my only choice is to defeat you
before Hadlar detects us.
**[12:15] ---**
*What is that stance?*
**[12:16] ---**
*To cast aside his weapon
in the face of battle?*
**[12:20] ---**
*What is he up to?*
**[12:27] ---**
*His Aura... is gone!*
**[12:33] ---**
BLOODY SCRYDE
**[12:38] ---**
NEEDLE THOUSAND
**[12:42] ---**
*Hyunckel's Aura has completely vanished!*
**[12:46] ---**
*He's like a still pond
without a single ripple.*
**[12:52] ---**
You drop your weapon
while facing Baran?! Are you insane?!
**[12:56] ---**
Don't worry, Crocodine.
**[12:58] ---**
Besides, it looks like Baran realizes
just how dangerous this skill really is.
**[13:04] ---**
What?!
**[13:05] ---**
*I can't sense any Aura from Hyunckel!*
**[13:09] ---**
*Baran's begun quelling his own Aura!*
**[13:11] ---**
*What's going on?!*
**[13:13] ---**
*Now my Aura is the strongest one here!*
**[13:17] ---**
I see. This is a self-sacrificing move.
**[13:20] ---**
Self-sacrificing?!
**[13:22] ---**
Unleashing a powerful attack creates
an opening for anyone.
**[13:26] ---**
You intend to allow that attack,
thereby forcing that opening,
**[13:30] ---**
which you'll exploit with a counterattack.
**[13:33] ---**
When I read my master Avan's book, there
was one skill I thought impossible for me.
**[13:39] ---**
*Fifteen years ago, when Avan fought
the Dark Lord Hadlar,*
**[13:44] ---**
*he attained this technique.*
**[13:46] ---**
It's the Avan Style Ultimate Technique...
**[13:50] ---**
The Hollow Stance!
**[13:51] ---**
The Hollow Stance?
**[13:53] ---**
Against a powerful attack from an enemy,
in order to avoid a fatal blow,
**[13:58] ---**
one must completely erase their Aura,
and ride out the force of the attack.
**[14:03] ---**
But one cannot reach such a state
with a weapon and intent to kill.
**[14:09] ---**
So Avan chose to cast his sword aside.
**[14:20] ---**
Come on, Hadlar!
**[14:22] ---**
Fool! Have you given up?!
**[14:27] ---**
This is the end!
**[14:32] ---**
Avan...
**[14:34] ---**
Strash!
**[14:40] ---**
*Avan used the Hollow Stance
and Avan Strash.*
**[14:43] ---**
*By combining the ultimate passive
and active techniques, he defeated Hadlar.*
**[14:49] ---**
*I, on the other hand,
always held my weapon for revenge.*
**[14:54] ---**
*To cast it aside and force myself
into such a hollow state...*
**[14:58] ---**
always seemed like pure absurdity.
**[15:01] ---**
Even so, Baran, this is probably
the only skill that will have an effect.
**[15:06] ---**
Using the Hollow Stance, I'll create
an opening and use a counterattack.
**[15:12] ---**
*I get it!*
**[15:14] ---**
*The stronger the attack, the greater
the opening the Hollow Stance creates!*
**[15:19] ---**
*For someone as overly powerful as Baran,
it's truly a terrifying skill!*
**[15:25] ---**
*That's why he tried
to suppress his own Aura to fight.*
**[15:31] ---**
You've grown into
a terrifying foe, Hyunckel.
**[15:36] ---**
I tried to suppress my own Aura,
but I can't erase it like you.
**[15:42] ---**
That state cannot be reached
without the strongest of resolves.
**[15:48] ---**
Hyunckel? Who's he fighting?
**[15:52] ---**
That man...!
**[15:57] ---**
What?! Baran's begun increasing his Aura!
**[16:02] ---**
Correct. That's your only option.
**[16:05] ---**
You'll attack, but hold back.
**[16:09] ---**
Once you endure my counter,
you'll unleash your second attack.
**[16:14] ---**
That is, if you can endure my counter.
**[16:17] ---**
Baran means to put himself at risk too?!
**[16:20] ---**
Hyunckel, you've shown me your resolve.
**[16:25] ---**
As you wish, I shall face that skill.
**[16:34] ---**
Here goes, Hyunckel!
**[16:37] ---**
*Larhart, not a day goes by
that I don't think about you.*
**[16:43] ---**
*This attack will be the best I can do.*
**[16:47] ---**
*Should I fail to stop Baran,*
**[16:49] ---**
*you can laugh at my foolishness
from the afterlife.*
**[16:53] ---**
Dragon Master Baran?! That's him?!
**[16:57] ---**
Deserter of the Dark Army,
and Dai's father.
**[17:01] ---**
There's no telling when he'll turn
against Lord Hadlar.
**[17:04] ---**
This is perfect.
We can eliminate both of them here.
**[17:09] ---**
Don't do it, Albinass!
**[17:11] ---**
They may be our enemy,
but you can't interrupt a duel.
**[17:16] ---**
Who knows how angry Lord Hadlar will be?
**[17:19] ---**
I shall take full responsibility.
**[17:21] ---**
All is for the sake of Lord Hadlar.
**[17:25] ---**
All threats must be weeded out!
**[17:47] ---**
Here goes!
**[18:10] ---**
Albinass!
**[18:13] ---**
What happened?!
**[18:15] ---**
Did you get them?!
**[18:16] ---**
That wound...!
**[18:19] ---**
No wonder you like him.
**[18:22] ---**
Hyunckel...
**[18:24] ---**
What a terrifying warrior.
**[18:26] ---**
Albinass!
**[18:28] ---**
He's no longer a threat now.
**[18:30] ---**
That's the one silver lining.
**[18:34] ---**
So it was you, Baran...
**[18:37] ---**
who rescued me from that explosion.
**[18:41] ---**
Wait! Hyunckel!
**[18:43] ---**
Where's Hyunckel?!
**[19:00] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[19:05] ---**
It's too late.
**[19:06] ---**
He lives, but he'll never fight again.
**[19:09] ---**
How...
**[19:10] ---**
What in the world could do this to him?!
**[19:15] ---**
In that instant,
the Dark Army interrupted our fight...
**[19:20] ---**
and attacked.
**[19:22] ---**
*I was so focused on attacking Hyunckel
that I couldn't do anything else.*
**[19:29] ---**
*Hyunckel and I would both have been
caught off guard and died.*
**[19:34] ---**
*That's when Hyunckel...*
**[19:35] ---**
Needle Thousand!
**[19:39] ---**
Bloody Scryde!
**[19:46] ---**
*Hyunckel used his Hollow Stance
on the Dark Army instead...*
**[19:51] ---**
*driving them off.*
**[19:56] ---**
All while knowing
he'd take the full force of my attack.
**[20:01] ---**
His words weren't just dull platitudes.
**[20:04] ---**
He was willing to give his life
to save mine.
**[20:10] ---**
Hyunckel...
**[20:12] ---**
Crocodine, what must I do?
**[20:17] ---**
How can I ever repay this man?
**[20:20] ---**
Don't ask me!
**[20:23] ---**
It shames me Baran,
**[20:25] ---**
but deep down,
I wanted you to fight Vearn!
**[20:29] ---**
I thought it would benefit the humans!
**[20:33] ---**
I figured it was futile
to try to stop you!
**[20:39] ---**
And yet...
**[20:40] ---**
And yet, Hyunckel still...
**[20:43] ---**
I don't deserve to say anything!
**[20:46] ---**
He can be cold,
but he's a man I'm proud to call a friend!
**[20:52] ---**
Just respect what he was trying to do!
**[20:59] ---**
I see.
**[21:03] ---**
The Great Citadel, Vearn Palace.
**[21:05] ---**
The Dark Citadel Gate lies underwater.
**[21:08] ---**
Chiu did a good job in finding it.
**[21:12] ---**
I think I have to go there...
**[21:15] ---**
while everyone is fighting
the Hadlar Royal Guard on the surface.
**[21:19] ---**
Wait a minute, Dai!
**[21:22] ---**
Not even a Dragon Knight
can destroy the gate.
**[21:25] ---**
It's too dangerous to go alone.
**[21:28] ---**
You need someone to go with you.
**[21:32] ---**
I'll go. Leave it to me!
**[21:35] ---**
You're our key player
against the Royal Guard!
**[21:38] ---**
I'll go instead!
**[21:44] ---**
I shall go!
**[21:51] ---**
Baran?!
**[22:07] ---**
*To be honest I was clumsy*
**[22:07] ---**
*omoeba boku wa bukiyou de*
**[22:12] ---**
*And it took me forever to get here*
**[22:12] ---**
*shouganaikurai tomawarishita*
**[22:18] ---**
*I used even loneliness as a weapon*
**[22:18] ---**
*kodokukannsura mo buki ni shite*
**[22:24] ---**
*I searched the dungeon for a simple answer*
**[22:24] ---**
*tannjun na kotae wo sagashita dannjon*
**[22:30] ---**
*Even if I cast aside
Rightness and kindness*
**[22:30] ---**
*tadashisa yasashisa nagedashite mo*
**[22:35] ---**
*I just want to be there for you*
**[22:35] ---**
*tada hitori kimi no mikata de itai*
**[22:41] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[22:41] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga*
**[22:47] ---**
*Is harder than any magic spell*
**[22:47] ---**
*ari to arayuru mahou yori muzukashikute*
**[22:53] ---**
*Even though you're so close to me*
**[22:53] ---**
*konnani mo chikaku ni itanoni*
**[22:59] ---**
*I love you*
**[22:59] ---**
*aishiteiru*
**[23:02] ---**
*I finally realized it*
**[23:02] ---**
*imasara kizuitanosa*
**[23:05] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[23:05] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu tame ni*
**[23:10] ---**
*Must be the reason I was born*
**[23:10] ---**
*boku wa kitto umarete kitannda*
**[23:16] ---**
*I shake off the clinging night*
**[23:16] ---**
*shigamitsuku yoru furihodoite*
**[23:22] ---**
*And go to see you*
**[23:22] ---**
*ai ni iku*
**[23:25] ---**
*Right now to where you are*
**[23:25] ---**
*ima sugu kimi no moto e*
**[23:33] ---**
*Baran's appearance
takes everyone by surprise.*
**[23:36] ---**
*While uncertain, Dai sets out
on a collaborative mission with Baran.*
**[23:41] ---**
*Dai and Baran split up with the others
to head for the Dark Citadel Gate.*
**[23:45] ---**
*What will they find waiting for them?*
**[23:48] ---**
*With much on their minds
they head to the Dark Army stronghold.*

FATHER AND SON DRAGONS SET OUT
**[01:52] ---**
I shall go!
**[01:55] ---**
Or does anyone think
Dai and I will not be enough?
**[02:01] ---**
*Are you nuts?!
That's the greatest tag team in the world!*
**[02:05] ---**
Why are you willing to help us?
**[02:08] ---**
I can explain that.
**[02:10] ---**
But first, Hyunckel needs healing.
**[02:14] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[02:31] ---**
*I see.*
**[02:33] ---**
So you agree with us
that Dark King Vearn is a mutual enemy.
**[02:38] ---**
Then we'll gladly accept your help.
**[02:41] ---**
Dai, go with your father
to the Dark Citadel Gate.
**[02:45] ---**
Leona, I can go alone!
**[02:47] ---**
Merle, please heal Crocodine.
**[02:49] ---**
Yes.
**[02:50] ---**
Popp, Maam, and Crocodine
will take on the Royal Guard.
**[02:56] ---**
Okay!
**[02:57] ---**
Leona!
**[02:58] ---**
Is there anything you need?
**[03:01] ---**
No. We will set out once you're ready.
**[03:06] ---**
Understand, Dino?
**[03:31] ---**
Good grief. He's been pouting ever since
it was decided that they work together.
**[03:36] ---**
They've just been standing there
not talking.
**[03:40] ---**
Consider it lucky.
**[03:42] ---**
At least we avoided a fight
between father and son again.
**[03:48] ---**
And temporary as it may be,
Baran is on our side.
**[03:53] ---**
Yeah. I still don't believe it.
**[03:57] ---**
I've never met him before,
**[03:59] ---**
but Dai's father seems different
from what I heard.
**[04:03] ---**
I do sense overwhelming power from him...
**[04:07] ---**
but he doesn't seem like the violent type.
**[04:11] ---**
Last time we fought, it was hardly
the mood for working together.
**[04:16] ---**
Totally!
**[04:18] ---**
It's all thanks to Hyunckel.
**[04:21] ---**
He risked his life to reach
an understanding with Baran.
**[04:26] ---**
His being incapacitated
was a high price to pay.
**[04:30] ---**
It's better this way.
**[04:33] ---**
He always assumes
no one will grieve if he ever dies.
**[04:39] ---**
It's a relief to know
he can't take risks anymore.
**[04:42] ---**
Honestly, he needs to learn
to take it easy.
**[04:49] ---**
Dino...
**[04:50] ---**
No... Dai.
**[04:55] ---**
There's no need to be on edge.
**[04:58] ---**
I will only be helping you this once.
**[05:02] ---**
Only until our mutual goal of killing
Dark King Vearn is accomplished.
**[05:07] ---**
Once that's over,
we are destined to fight again.
**[05:14] ---**
Silence will only
complicate things on the battlefield.
**[05:17] ---**
If you have something to say, say it.
**[05:21] ---**
There's one thing... I want to ask.
**[05:25] ---**
What?
**[05:27] ---**
My... My mother... What was she like?
**[05:37] ---**
Your mother... Soala...
**[05:41] ---**
She was beautiful.
**[05:43] ---**
And... a kind woman.
**[05:47] ---**
Her mere presence
filled everyone around her with warmth.
**[05:51] ---**
She overflowed with such light.
**[05:55] ---**
I doubt I will ever
love anyone that deeply...
**[05:59] ---**
ever... again.
**[06:07] ---**
I see.
**[06:09] ---**
Let's go!
**[06:10] ---**
Levizoom!
**[06:15] ---**
*If there was to be a single exception...*
**[06:20] ---**
*it would be you, Dai.*
**[06:34] ---**
The Dragon father and son are off.
**[06:37] ---**
I know they'll pull it off.
**[06:40] ---**
Are you sure?
**[06:42] ---**
Huh?
**[06:43] ---**
I fear the two of them working together
**[06:47] ---**
may instead awaken an even greater evil.
**[06:54] ---**
I'm sorry! Just ignore what I said!
**[06:56] ---**
Like anyone could ignore what a seer says.
**[07:00] ---**
Merle, don't worry!
We'll do our best out there!
**[07:04] ---**
Right!
**[07:06] ---**
Besides, we've got not one,
but two Dragon Knights helping us.
**[07:12] ---**
If we lose, then it wasn't to be.
Our enemy was stronger than the gods.
**[07:17] ---**
So there's no point in worrying, is there?
**[07:20] ---**
Popp...
**[07:22] ---**
Okay, Maam, Big Guy, looks like we're up!
**[07:26] ---**
Facing the Royal Guard alone
won't be easy, but I'm counting on you!
**[07:30] ---**
We don't have to win.
**[07:33] ---**
We only need to keep them here
while Dai and Baran open the gate.
**[07:39] ---**
Okay! Hold down the fort for us, Princess!
**[07:43] ---**
Look after Hyunckel, Chiu,
and the other wounded!
**[07:46] ---**
I won't bother with cliche parting words.
**[07:49] ---**
Give it everything you've got!
**[07:51] ---**
We always do!
**[07:58] ---**
There they go!
**[08:00] ---**
Then let's hurry.
**[08:01] ---**
If you slow me down,
I'll leave you behind without hesitation.
**[08:14] ---**
It's finally happening.
**[08:17] ---**
Sorry Nova.
You wanted to go with them, didn't you?
**[08:22] ---**
I did. But I already know
I'm not as strong as they are.
**[08:27] ---**
I'll stay and help reorganize the backup.
**[08:29] ---**
Thank you.
**[08:32] ---**
If it turns out that Dark King Vearn
can't be beaten with two Dragon Knights,
**[08:38] ---**
then it's all pointless.
**[08:40] ---**
But it's better than doing nothing.
**[08:44] ---**
Let's just do everything we can!
**[08:48] ---**
*How can I be so selfish?*
**[08:51] ---**
*She's the one under
the most pressure in this battle.*
**[08:56] ---**
*God of Dragons...*
**[08:58] ---**
*please bless Dai, Popp, and the others.*
**[09:08] ---**
Okay, time for the main event!
**[09:11] ---**
Honestly, I hope I never have
to come to this awful place again.
**[09:16] ---**
I doubt you will.
**[09:18] ---**
Once the Dark Citadel Gate is open,
we fight Dark King Vearn.
**[09:22] ---**
We won't leave alive
unless we defeat our enemy.
**[09:26] ---**
For now, let's focus on luring
the Hadlar Royal Guard here.
**[09:31] ---**
Hmm. If only we had more help.
**[09:35] ---**
Huh?
**[09:37] ---**
Huh?
**[09:38] ---**
Hmm.
**[09:40] ---**
W-What?
**[09:48] ---**
There!
**[09:57] ---**
-Gomechan?!
-You followed us here?!
**[10:01] ---**
Honestly.
**[10:03] ---**
You followed us to this dangerous place.
**[10:06] ---**
The little guy must not have
wanted to be left behind.
**[10:11] ---**
Looks like we've got
a pretty reliable friend.
**[10:16] ---**
You're right.
**[10:17] ---**
Okay, Gome,
you've been with us from the start!
**[10:21] ---**
Stick with us to the very end!
**[10:25] ---**
I'm impressed you noticed, Popp.
**[10:27] ---**
Well, you know, Maam's butt
looked bigger than usual, so...
**[10:32] ---**
POPP
**[10:35] ---**
What the hell?!
Don't waste your energy fooling around!
**[10:39] ---**
You're the one fooling around, you idiot!
**[10:44] ---**
If you two get married,
I know who's going to be in charge.
**[10:49] ---**
Why would I ever marry such a...
**[10:51] ---**
Such a what?!
**[10:55] ---**
You're lucky. You may quarrel a lot,
but you have a powerful bond.
**[11:02] ---**
Nothing beats having a family.
**[11:05] ---**
I realized that watching Dai and Baran.
**[11:09] ---**
If I manage to survive this battle...
**[11:13] ---**
maybe I'll find a wife of my own!
**[11:18] ---**
Crocodine...
**[11:19] ---**
Big Guy...
**[11:21] ---**
Let's all... go home alive!
**[11:27] ---**
Right! Of course!
**[11:30] ---**
*Dai, I hope all goes well with your dad.*
**[11:33] ---**
*Leave things here to us!*
**[11:39] ---**
They're here!
**[11:49] ---**
AVAN STRASH
**[11:54] ---**
GIGABREAK
**[12:07] ---**
*Where's the entrance to Vearn Palace?
Where's the Dark Citadel Gate?*
**[12:12] ---**
*I have to find it quickly!*
**[12:14] ---**
*It won't be easy for Popp
and the others fighting alone.*
**[12:18] ---**
*Relax.*
**[12:21] ---**
*This voice... Is that...?*
**[12:23] ---**
*It is.*
**[12:25] ---**
*I'm talking to you through telepathy.*
**[12:29] ---**
*I figured it would be possible
through the resonation of our crests.*
**[12:35] ---**
*Telepathy...*
**[12:36] ---**
*Dai, nothing will start
until we breach the gate.*
**[12:42] ---**
*Focus on fulfilling your objective.*
**[12:48] ---**
*This way.*
**[12:54] ---**
The queen looks brand new!
**[12:57] ---**
I thought Hyunckel
hit them with his attack!
**[13:00] ---**
It looks like they can regenerate
using Hadlar's Magic Power.
**[13:05] ---**
Hey you! You plan to fight us
with just yourselves?
**[13:10] ---**
Talk about overconfident!
**[13:13] ---**
Shut up! Watch out
or you'll regret underestimating us!
**[13:17] ---**
Hey! Where's that damn pointy bishop?!
**[13:21] ---**
I want to get some payback for my friend.
**[13:27] ---**
Fenbren is missing?!
**[13:32] ---**
Th-This is our emblem!
**[13:35] ---**
C-Could it be...?!
**[13:43] ---**
*There!*
**[13:49] ---**
*What's that?*
**[13:55] ---**
The bishop moves.
**[13:58] ---**
This isn't on Hadlar's orders.
**[14:02] ---**
An unexpected turn of events.
**[14:05] ---**
How very interesting.
**[14:08] ---**
*That's...*
**[14:12] ---**
*Sorry everybody...*
**[14:14] ---**
*but this target belongs to me.*
**[14:22] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[14:23] ---**
You shouldn't get up!
**[14:26] ---**
Hyunckel, you're not going...
**[14:29] ---**
Obviously. To the Field of Death.
**[14:31] ---**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[14:33] ---**
Your wounds are beyond normal healing.
**[14:37] ---**
I'll be blunt. You're not in any condition
to help Dai or the others.
**[14:41] ---**
In fact, you're more likely
to drag them down.
**[14:46] ---**
If I can't fight,
I'll just serve as a shield.
**[14:50] ---**
If I use my body
to block the enemy attacks...
**[14:53] ---**
That's crazy!
**[14:55] ---**
Miss Amy, where's my weapon?
**[14:59] ---**
Quickly. Where's my Dark Armour Spear?
**[15:05] ---**
Your spear...
**[15:08] ---**
I threw it away.
**[15:09] ---**
What?!
**[15:11] ---**
Y-You can't stand
on the battlefield either way!
**[15:16] ---**
There's no point in having that thing!
**[15:18] ---**
So...
**[15:22] ---**
I threw it away.
**[15:25] ---**
Amy... you...
**[15:28] ---**
You can't fight without your weapon.
**[15:31] ---**
So just accept it and get some rest!
**[15:35] ---**
Please... Hyunckel.
**[15:43] ---**
Wait Hyunckel! Where are you going?!
**[15:52] ---**
Amy... You have feelings for Hyunckel.
**[15:57] ---**
If so, that didn't help.
**[16:00] ---**
He'll go even without a weapon.
**[16:03] ---**
All you did was take his weapon from him.
**[16:08] ---**
Something about him is beyond all reason.
**[16:17] ---**
Amy...
**[16:21] ---**
Wait! Don't go!
**[16:24] ---**
Move.
**[16:25] ---**
Why?! Why won't you give up?!
**[16:29] ---**
Don't worry. I'm immortal.
**[16:32] ---**
No human can be immortal!
**[16:35] ---**
You're just a normal human!
**[16:38] ---**
Maybe if you were fully healed,
but not now!
**[16:42] ---**
You'll die out there!
**[16:45] ---**
If it will help Dai and the others,
so be it.
**[16:49] ---**
Move.
**[16:53] ---**
No.
**[16:55] ---**
Don't.
**[16:56] ---**
Don't!
**[16:58] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[17:08] ---**
Leave me.
**[17:12] ---**
I love you.
**[17:14] ---**
I've... I've always been in love with you.
**[17:19] ---**
I can't bear to watch anymore.
**[17:23] ---**
To see you keep fighting hopeless battles
which leave you wounded!
**[17:28] ---**
Please! Don't go!
**[17:31] ---**
Please... stop walking gladly
into death's arms!
**[17:39] ---**
It's not like that.
**[17:41] ---**
I don't do it gladly.
**[17:43] ---**
I'm afraid.
**[17:45] ---**
Huh?
**[17:47] ---**
The old me was a cursed Dark Swordsman.
**[17:52] ---**
*My guilt over turning my sword against
my master and fellow students*
**[17:58] ---**
*continues to eat at my soul
and doesn't stop.*
**[18:02] ---**
*It tears me apart.*
**[18:05] ---**
It terrifies me.
**[18:06] ---**
Hyunckel...
**[18:09] ---**
That's why I fight.
**[18:11] ---**
Only the pain and suffering
I endure in deadly battle
**[18:17] ---**
can alleviate my guilt.
**[18:21] ---**
It tells me...
**[18:23] ---**
that I'm atoning for my sins
in the name of justice!
**[18:37] ---**
No...
**[18:39] ---**
How...?!
**[18:40] ---**
I hid it in the forest near the castle!
**[18:45] ---**
Look.
**[18:46] ---**
My friend is calling me...
**[18:49] ---**
to the battlefield.
**[18:50] ---**
W-Wait! Wait!
**[19:08] ---**
Amy...
**[19:11] ---**
I've never told anyone about that.
**[19:17] ---**
Thank you.
**[19:19] ---**
But...
**[19:21] ---**
you're better off forgetting me.
**[19:34] ---**
*The bishop Fenbren!*
**[19:37] ---**
*I remember this one.*
**[19:40] ---**
*I sense two sources of Orichalcum.*
**[19:43] ---**
*The larger must be
Baran's Demon Dragon Blade.*
**[19:47] ---**
*So it was the infamous Baran
who scarred my face.*
**[19:52] ---**
*When the others had their wounds
healed by Lord Hadlar,*
**[19:56] ---**
*I chose to leave my eyes as they were.*
**[20:01] ---**
*It cost me my eyesight,
but I wanted to keep this wound...*
**[20:08] ---**
*to remind me of that humiliation!*
**[20:11] ---**
*To keep the flames
of my vengeance burning!*
**[20:18] ---**
*It seems not all of Hadlar's minions
are on the surface.*
**[20:23] ---**
*Leave this to me.*
**[20:25] ---**
*I'm that one's target.*
**[20:29] ---**
*If you wish to waste the life
that I spared, so be it.*
**[20:34] ---**
*This time I'll end things
with a single swing.*
**[20:40] ---**
*That's strange.
This calmness can't be good.*
**[20:48] ---**
*Magic Power?!*
**[20:49] ---**
*Look out!*
**[20:51] ---**
*Take this!*
**[20:53] ---**
*Kaswoosh!*
**[20:59] ---**
*Using Kaswoosh underwater?!*
**[21:03] ---**
*Even though the spell could backfire?!*
**[21:05] ---**
*Dai!*
**[21:12] ---**
*The Orichalcum left the life-signal!*
**[21:15] ---**
*I've got you, Baran!*
**[21:19] ---**
*To defeat a powerful enemy like you,*
**[21:21] ---**
*I figured I had to use my strongest attack
right from the start!*
**[21:28] ---**
*Twin Sword Pinning!*
**[21:31] ---**
*Now I just target your life-signal...*
**[21:35] ---**
*and hit you with this finishing attack!*
**[21:42] ---**
*Where...?!*
**[21:45] ---**
*The flow's changed!*
**[21:46] ---**
*Now!*
**[21:53] ---**
*Got you!*
**[21:56] ---**
*Baran... falls!*
**[22:07] ---**
*omoeba boku wa bukiyou de*
**[22:07] ---**
*To be honest I was clumsy*
**[22:12] ---**
*shouganaikurai tomawarishita*
**[22:12] ---**
*And it took me forever to get here*
**[22:19] ---**
*kodokukannsura mo buki ni shite*
**[22:19] ---**
*I used even loneliness as a weapon*
**[22:24] ---**
*tannjun na kotae wo sagashita dannjon*
**[22:24] ---**
*I searched the dungeon for a simple answer*
**[22:30] ---**
*tadashisa yasashisa nagedashite mo*
**[22:30] ---**
*Even if I cast aside
Rightness and kindness*
**[22:35] ---**
*tada hitori kimi no mikata de itai*
**[22:35] ---**
*I just want to be there for you*
**[22:42] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga*
**[22:42] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[22:47] ---**
*ari to arayuru mahou yori muzukashikute*
**[22:47] ---**

HADLAR'S CHALLENGE
**[01:53] ---**
*Got you!*
**[01:55] ---**
*Baran... falls!*
**[02:13] ---**
*What was that?!*
**[02:16] ---**
*An Avan Strash?!*
**[02:18] ---**
*Was that... the Hero brat?*
**[02:22] ---**
*H-How can there be this many
people out there stronger than me?!*
**[02:30] ---**
*Damn... it all!*
**[02:36] ---**
*I've never drawn my sword
without thinking before.*
**[02:39] ---**
*I felt my sword's will
and my own will as one!*
**[02:43] ---**
*I completely forgot about the seal!*
**[02:45] ---**
*All I could think about was saving...*
**[02:51] ---**
*So that's your sword.*
**[02:54] ---**
*Impressive.*
**[03:00] ---**
*With our blades, not even
the Dark Citadel Gate will hold.*
**[03:09] ---**
*Let's go, Dai!*
**[03:10] ---**
*Focus all of your strength into this blow!*
**[03:14] ---**
*Okay!*
**[03:26] ---**
*We did it!*
**[03:37] ---**
This rumbling...!
**[03:43] ---**
*They breached it.*
**[03:45] ---**
*That gate that was sealed
by the Dark King's power.*
**[03:56] ---**
Send for another.
**[03:58] ---**
Yes, my king.
**[04:01] ---**
How very impressive.
**[04:04] ---**
*We did it! The entrance
to Vearn Palace is open!*
**[04:08] ---**
*We were bound to succeed.*
**[04:10] ---**
*The combined might of two Dragon Knights
is a force that normally should not exist.*
**[04:17] ---**
*Shattering the gate is not our goal.
Keep your guard up.*
**[04:23] ---**
*Come! Our target is Dark King Vearn!*
**[04:29] ---**
This shaking can only mean...
**[04:33] ---**
Dai and Baran have breached
the Dark Citadel Gate!
**[04:45] ---**
Fenbren is dead!
**[04:47] ---**
Damn it!
**[04:49] ---**
Wait! Where are you going, Hym?!
**[04:52] ---**
To avenge Fenbren!
**[04:54] ---**
You will not!
**[04:57] ---**
But...!
**[04:58] ---**
Have you forgotten, Hym,
your vow to Lord Hadlar?
**[05:07] ---**
With Fenbren's insubordination,
how can we abandon our position now?!
**[05:14] ---**
You're right.
**[05:17] ---**
Our purpose here is to allow Lord Hadlar
to fight Dai and Baran whole-heartedly!
**[05:24] ---**
What?!
**[05:25] ---**
That means...!
**[05:28] ---**
We'll take care of you here!
**[05:35] ---**
*Hadlar intends to fight Dai and Baran,
two Dragon Knights, at once?!*
**[05:49] ---**
Hadlar?!
**[05:51] ---**
He's alone?!
**[06:10] ---**
Impossible! How is he here?!
**[06:13] ---**
Perfect. I wouldn't have it
any other way!
**[06:19] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[06:20] ---**
Pick yourselves up. We need to
take them out and follow Dai and Baran!
**[06:28] ---**
All that damage and he still shows up
on the battlefield?
**[06:33] ---**
Is he really human?
**[06:36] ---**
He must be immortal. Just like us.
**[06:44] ---**
*This is crazy, Hyunckel.
You can barely even stand!*
**[06:50] ---**
*That magnificent, reckless fool!*
**[06:53] ---**
Hey, big brute!
**[06:55] ---**
I've had just about enough of you!
**[07:08] ---**
Hyunckel, are you sure about this?!
Coming here couldn't have been easy!
**[07:12] ---**
Don't worry about me.
**[07:13] ---**
That's right!
All he can do is stand around anyways!
**[07:19] ---**
Don't bother worrying!
**[07:21] ---**
Popp!
**[07:22] ---**
Just stand right there.
**[07:26] ---**
Having you stand behind us is enough.
**[07:30] ---**
You're still our senior Disciple of Avan.
**[07:36] ---**
Popp...
**[07:38] ---**
Even if you can't do anything...
**[07:41] ---**
just by showing up,
you've given us plenty of courage.
**[07:47] ---**
We won't lose.
**[07:49] ---**
Just relax and stand there.
**[07:52] ---**
I appreciate it, but standing still
is actually more exhausting.
**[07:58] ---**
I'll take my chances.
**[07:59] ---**
Hmph! Learn to take a compliment!
**[08:05] ---**
The bishop's missing.
**[08:08] ---**
Is it dead?
**[08:09] ---**
Probably. Dai and Baran must have won.
**[08:12] ---**
Dai and Baran?
**[08:14] ---**
It looks like they had
already figured out our plan.
**[08:18] ---**
Hadlar is waiting for Dai and Baran.
**[08:21] ---**
*He plans to fight two Dragon Knights?*
**[08:25] ---**
*Is he sure of his victory?*
**[08:27] ---**
*Or does he intend to die?*
**[08:29] ---**
*Or...*
**[08:30] ---**
*could it be both?*
**[08:33] ---**
We have to hurry!
Focus on taking them out!
**[08:36] ---**
That's our line!
**[08:40] ---**
You aren't the only ones
who can't afford to lose here!
**[08:44] ---**
We'd like to wipe you all out right now!
**[08:48] ---**
So, let's see who gets
to go to their leader!
**[08:56] ---**
So, who will go first?
**[09:00] ---**
I don't have much time.
**[09:03] ---**
Is this some sort of game, Hadlar?
**[09:06] ---**
Do you really think us so weak
that you could easily win?
**[09:13] ---**
Of course not.
**[09:14] ---**
Dragon Knights are the ultimate creatures
created by the gods.
**[09:19] ---**
Knowing one served under me, Baran,
made me live in fear.
**[09:25] ---**
I was petrified that you'd come
for my throne.
**[09:30] ---**
Then when I learned Dai was
a Dragon Knight, I was terrified.
**[09:36] ---**
I imagined the two of you working together
to come and defeat me.
**[09:43] ---**
And now that fear has become a reality.
**[09:46] ---**
And yet, I find myself looking forward
to this fight. Life can be strange.
**[09:54] ---**
*He intended to fight both of us
from the start.*
**[09:58] ---**
Fenbren's insubordination was unexpected.
**[10:02] ---**
It seems that inside me,
**[10:05] ---**
there was still some lingering
narcissism and desire for glory.
**[10:11] ---**
These were manifested in Fenbren's
personality through the Forbidden Magic.
**[10:17] ---**
Children tend to grow up
to be their parents.
**[10:23] ---**
Now I shall defeat Dai, the Hero!
**[10:26] ---**
And Baran, if you intend to defend Dai...
**[10:31] ---**
I will take both of you out!
**[10:35] ---**
Fool!
**[10:36] ---**
Save your overconfidence!
**[10:40] ---**
It seems you've grown in power somewhat.
**[10:43] ---**
But don't assume you can take on
two Dragon Knights at once!
**[10:48] ---**
I shall slay you here myself!
**[10:58] ---**
TWIN SWORD PINNING
**[11:03] ---**
AVAN STRASH
**[11:11] ---**
Wait! Hadlar isn't being overconfident!
**[11:15] ---**
He's become a Superior Being!
**[11:17] ---**
A Superior Being?
**[11:19] ---**
He really is strong enough
to fight both of us!
**[11:24] ---**
We have to fight together!
It's the sure way to defeat him!
**[11:28] ---**
Ridiculous.
**[11:30] ---**
After what he said,
you'd choose to fight him together?!
**[11:34] ---**
Have you no pride as a Dragon Knight?!
**[11:37] ---**
If I could win with just pride, I would.
**[11:41] ---**
You already said our target
is Dark King Vearn!
**[11:51] ---**
So it begins. The climax of this battle.
**[11:57] ---**
Which has the upper hand?
**[12:00] ---**
Hadlar may have become quite powerful,
**[12:04] ---**
but against Dai and Baran
at their full power, he cannot win.
**[12:09] ---**
Separating from his Royal Guard
was pure suicide.
**[12:14] ---**
Suicide, you say?
**[12:16] ---**
It seems to me,
**[12:19] ---**
he intends to draw out his own power
to its limit through desperation.
**[12:24] ---**
A clever ploy by Hadlar.
**[12:27] ---**
But, should Hadlar be defeated,
**[12:30] ---**
the two Dragons will gain entrance
into the citadel.
**[12:34] ---**
That won't happen.
**[12:36] ---**
Sire?
**[12:37] ---**
That is an impossibility, Mystvearn.
**[12:42] ---**
Those two will never see my face.
**[12:48] ---**
I misjudged you, Dai.
**[12:51] ---**
I thought you had grown as a warrior...
**[12:54] ---**
but you're still far from ever being
a true Dragon Knight!
**[12:59] ---**
If worrying about pride
keeps me from doing what has to be done,
**[13:03] ---**
then I don't want to be
a true Dragon Knight.
**[13:07] ---**
Besides, I'm part human.
**[13:09] ---**
I have the blood of my mother.
**[13:14] ---**
I've always fought for those around me,
doing the best that I could.
**[13:21] ---**
For me, making sure we defeat Hadlar
and Vearn is more important than my pride!
**[13:28] ---**
Dai...
**[13:30] ---**
Hurry up. Who will fight?
**[13:34] ---**
Or will you both fight me?
**[13:40] ---**
I'll fight you, Hadlar!
**[13:43] ---**
You won't listen to reason,
so I don't have a choice.
**[13:47] ---**
You'll see in just a few seconds.
**[13:51] ---**
So Dai comes first.
**[13:54] ---**
Here goes!
**[13:58] ---**
Hadlar has a sword?!
**[14:13] ---**
Good, Dai! You've improved
since our last fight!
**[14:29] ---**
*Dai isn't weak!*
**[14:31] ---**
*The power of the attacks
he unleashes rivals that of my own!*
**[14:36] ---**
How very generous.
**[14:38] ---**
To fight in place of your father
who has no experience fighting me.
**[14:44] ---**
However, Dai...
**[14:46] ---**
it's not as though you know
the extent of my powers either!
**[14:55] ---**
A weapon in his left hand?!
**[14:57] ---**
Hell's Chain!
**[15:05] ---**
Boom!
**[15:23] ---**
Avan Strash!
**[15:25] ---**
Kaboom!
**[15:34] ---**
Dai!
**[15:37] ---**
Dai!
**[15:40] ---**
Are you alright?!
**[15:46] ---**
What did I tell you?
**[15:48] ---**
I see now.
**[15:50] ---**
Hadlar has become a formidable enemy.
**[15:58] ---**
Well done, Dai.
You never cease to surprise me.
**[16:05] ---**
I could say the same.
**[16:07] ---**
He completely nullified my Strash
with his Kaboom spell.
**[16:12] ---**
A wound like that
will regenerate in no time.
**[16:18] ---**
That... It can't be!
**[16:21] ---**
I'm sure of it!
The Coal of Hell! A Black Core!
**[16:26] ---**
What's wrong?!
**[16:27] ---**
How could Dark King Vearn
do something so barbaric?!
**[16:32] ---**
To implant such a thing
in his own servant!
**[16:36] ---**
A Black Core?!
**[16:38] ---**
You had such a thing
hidden in Hadlar's body?!
**[16:42] ---**
Now do you see?
**[16:45] ---**
I said those two will never see my face.
**[16:52] ---**
Even if Hadlar falls,
**[16:55] ---**
if the Black Core
in his body is detonated,
**[17:00] ---**
at the very least,
we can bring it to a draw.
**[17:05] ---**
A draw? It will blow away
the whole Field of Death.
**[17:11] ---**
Perhaps, but it won't mean anything
to Vearn Palace.
**[17:18] ---**
They're fighting
in the exterior perimeter after all.
**[17:28] ---**
That thing's... a bomb?!
**[17:30] ---**
That's right.
**[17:32] ---**
An Underworld super-powerful bomb
called a Black Core.
**[17:36] ---**
No, it's a nightmare weapon
beyond the definition of a bomb.
**[17:42] ---**
How do you know that?
**[17:44] ---**
I once saw one in the Underworld.
**[17:48] ---**
*Black Cores are made
from a stone called Black Crystal.*
**[17:53] ---**
*It's found deep in the Underworld,
and absorbs power endlessly.*
**[17:57] ---**
*They're weaponized using Old Magic.*
**[18:00] ---**
*But, due to their
extreme destructive power,*
**[18:03] ---**
*even evil creatures that casually use
Forbidden Magic fear using Black Cores.*
**[18:12] ---**
*Thirteen years ago, when Hadlar rampaged
the surface world as Dark Lord,*
**[18:17] ---**
*I fought Velzar, King of the Abyss
in the Underworld.*
**[18:23] ---**
*Velzar used a Black Core while battling
on a certain Underworld Continent.*
**[18:30] ---**
*What happened?*
**[18:32] ---**
*The entire continent was vaporized.*
**[18:38] ---**
In his attempt to kill me,
he destroyed his own territory.
**[18:44] ---**
Even Velzar refused to use
a Black Core after that.
**[18:51] ---**
It makes sense, considering his ambitions
to rule the Underworld and surface world.
**[18:58] ---**
What's the point
if there's nothing left to rule?
**[19:02] ---**
*But for Vearn to use a Black Core...*
**[19:06] ---**
*It seems his plan
is not to rule the surface world*
**[19:12] ---**
*but to annihilate it.*
**[19:15] ---**
I never intended for Hadlar
to be a sacrificial pawn.
**[19:20] ---**
But when I saved him
from the brink of death,
**[19:23] ---**
I implanted it in him as insurance.
**[19:28] ---**
But then he went and
turned himself into a Superior Being.
**[19:34] ---**
This was something even I did not expect.
**[19:38] ---**
The power increase beyond his limits
had an adverse effect on the Black Core.
**[19:45] ---**
That bomb could be set off at any moment.
**[19:50] ---**
This must be manifested in Hadlar
as bouts of extreme pain.
**[19:57] ---**
Of course, he assumes it's merely
due to his conversion to a Superior Being.
**[20:05] ---**
Knowing the outcome to a battle...
**[20:09] ---**
is a boring thing indeed.
**[20:12] ---**
But we must see it through.
**[20:17] ---**
For my dear right-hand man,
**[20:19] ---**
it could be his final grand performance.
**[20:27] ---**
*Hadlar...*
**[20:29] ---**
*Awakening as a true warrior
ultimately shortened your life.*
**[20:34] ---**
*How ironic.*
**[20:37] ---**
*I would prefer that you win and survive...*
**[20:42] ---**
*but should you fall,
at least go out in a blaze of glory.*
**[20:46] ---**
*Be honored to know that your death
shall be for the great King Vearn.*
**[20:57] ---**
If it explodes, we'll be in trouble.
**[21:00] ---**
What do we do?
**[21:01] ---**
I don't know.
**[21:03] ---**
What?!
**[21:03] ---**
But we can't use spells or Magic Swords.
**[21:08] ---**
Fight only using blunt force.
**[21:10] ---**
That's impossible! We can't win like that!
**[21:14] ---**
Just listen to me!
**[21:17] ---**
That Black Core has been imbued
with great Magic Power.
**[21:21] ---**
It must have absorbed Hadlar's
increased Magic Power to its limit.
**[21:27] ---**
Simply hitting it with a powerful spell
might set it off.
**[21:33] ---**
Are you done planning?
**[21:36] ---**
I'll take you both on! Here I come!
**[21:50] ---**
That's...!
**[21:51] ---**
Oh no! He's coming!
**[22:07] ---**
*To be honest I was clumsy*
**[22:07] ---**
*omoeba boku wa bukiyou de*
**[22:12] ---**
*And it took me forever to get here*
**[22:12] ---**
*shouganaikurai tomawarishita*
**[22:19] ---**
*I used even loneliness as a weapon*
**[22:19] ---**
*kodokukannsura mo buki ni shite*
**[22:24] ---**
*I searched the dungeon for a simple answer*
**[22:24] ---**
*tannjun na kotae wo sagashita dannjon*
**[22:30] ---**
*Even if I cast aside
Rightness and kindness*
**[22:30] ---**
*tadashisa yasashisa nagedashite mo*
**[22:35] ---**
*I just want to be there for you*
**[22:35] ---**
*tada hitori kimi no mikata de itai*
**[22:42] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[22:42] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga*
**[22:47] ---**
*Is harder than any magic spell*
**[22:47] ---**

HADLAR VERUS BARAN
**[01:51] ---**
Boom?!
**[02:07] ---**
D-Darn it!
**[02:10] ---**
Sizzl--
**[02:12] ---**
Dai!
**[02:26] ---**
*This is too difficult!*
**[02:29] ---**
*We can't win like this.*
**[02:31] ---**
Kasizz!
**[03:18] ---**
Defending with Draconic Auras.
**[03:21] ---**
Like father like son.
**[03:23] ---**
Baran has realized that Hadlar's body
contains a Black Core.
**[03:29] ---**
Congratulations, Mystvearn.
Hadlar may actually have a chance.
**[03:35] ---**
The attacks and spells
of Dragon Knights are too powerful,
**[03:40] ---**
and will most likely detonate it.
**[03:42] ---**
Their fear of that keeps them
from fighting at full strength.
**[03:48] ---**
*You two!*
**[03:50] ---**
Why are you holding back?!
**[03:53] ---**
Don't tell me the mighty Dragon Knights
have lost their nerve!
**[03:59] ---**
This can't be because
you're not used to fighting together.
**[04:03] ---**
Baran! Where's your Gigabreak?!
**[04:09] ---**
Dai, you too! Don't you want
to avenge your dead master?!
**[04:14] ---**
Don't you want to take revenge on me?!
**[04:26] ---**
*That's it! Hadlar doesn't know!*
**[04:29] ---**
*Maybe if I tell him, he'll stop fighting!*
**[04:32] ---**
Listen, Hadlar! You've got...
**[04:34] ---**
*Don't!*
**[04:36] ---**
*You mustn't tell him!*
**[04:37] ---**
*Huh?! Why not?!*
**[04:39] ---**
*A Black Core can be detonated
by its creator's Magic Power.*
**[04:45] ---**
*Once Hadlar notices the Black Core,
Vearn will detonate it on the spot.*
**[04:51] ---**
*He'll do it to stop Hadlar
from revolting against him.*
**[04:57] ---**
What's wrong?!
**[04:59] ---**
*We'll be fine. If we focus all our energy
on defense, we should survive.*
**[05:05] ---**
*But your friends on the surface
are certain to perish!*
**[05:11] ---**
Why are you holding back?!
**[05:14] ---**
*At this rate...*
**[05:15] ---**
How very suspicious. What are you up to?
**[05:20] ---**
We're up to nothing!
**[05:22] ---**
Zapple!
**[05:33] ---**
We were merely holding back
to analyze the extent of your power!
**[05:38] ---**
As you wish, I shall face you
with my ultimate blade!
**[05:42] ---**
I see. So you were just testing me.
**[05:47] ---**
That's good to hear.
**[05:48] ---**
*What are you doing?!*
**[05:50] ---**
*It's a risk, but I have no choice.*
**[05:54] ---**
*I'm going to have him explode here!*
**[05:56] ---**
*Huh?!*
**[05:57] ---**
*If I decapitate him,
he shouldn't detonate right away.*
**[06:03] ---**
*It should take a moment
for Vearn to detonate him, too.*
**[06:07] ---**
*That's when I'll use all of my
Draconic Aura to contain the blast.*
**[06:13] ---**
*That's a crazy idea!*
**[06:15] ---**
*We don't know if it can be contained
by a Draconic Aura!*
**[06:21] ---**
*That's way too dangerous!*
**[06:32] ---**
*Dai...*
**[06:34] ---**
*do you trust me?*
**[06:37] ---**
*Huh?*
**[06:44] ---**
*Well?*
**[06:49] ---**
*I-I trust your strength
more than anyone's.*
**[06:55] ---**
*A good answer.*
**[06:57] ---**
*And I trust your strength, too.*
**[07:01] ---**
*Seeing you fight that Royal Guard member
and Hadlar, I realized...*
**[07:06] ---**
*you're far stronger than
when you fought me.*
**[07:10] ---**
*You impress me with how you've grown.*
**[07:14] ---**
*But this is something only I can do.*
**[07:17] ---**
*Only with my sword skills
and abundance of Draconic Aura.*
**[07:22] ---**
*So I need you to trust me here.*
**[07:26] ---**
*Get your friends out of here just in case.*
**[07:32] ---**
*Take that hole to the surface.*
**[07:36] ---**
*No matter what happens to me
I promise I'll take care of Hadlar!*
**[07:43] ---**
*I leave the fight with Vearn to you.*
**[07:46] ---**
*Promise me you'll win.*
**[07:49] ---**
*For you and for those who believe in you.*
**[08:08] ---**
What impressive power we wield!
**[08:11] ---**
You have your Ultimate Blade, Gigabreak!
**[08:14] ---**
And I have my Ultra Combustion Slash!
**[08:18] ---**
Both infuse our blades
with supercharged energy
**[08:21] ---**
to unleash at the moment of impact
and destroy our enemies!
**[08:27] ---**
In other words,
the first to land a hit wins!
**[08:32] ---**
It'll all be decided by the timing!
**[08:35] ---**
So it seems.
**[08:38] ---**
And neither of us require a second strike.
**[08:41] ---**
Both of our attacks
are strong enough to end things.
**[08:46] ---**
*Maybe... I should help out?*
**[08:50] ---**
*Maybe using my Draconic Aura
to help contain the blast...*
**[08:55] ---**
*Don't interfere!*
**[08:59] ---**
*Hadlar's right. The timing is everything.*
**[09:02] ---**
*If you interfere,
it increases my chances of failing.*
**[09:07] ---**
*B-But...!*
**[09:09] ---**
*Didn't you say you trust my strength?*
**[09:17] ---**
*All right!*
**[09:19] ---**
*Once Popp and the others are safe,
I'll come back to help!*
**[09:24] ---**
*Promise me you won't fail!*
**[09:28] ---**
*Yes.*
**[09:30] ---**
*I promise I'll be fine.*
**[09:34] ---**
*Here I go!*
**[09:36] ---**
Hadlar! It's time!
**[09:38] ---**
Show me the true power of a Dragon!
**[09:41] ---**
*Go Dai!*
**[09:45] ---**
Gigabreak!
**[09:46] ---**
Ultra Combustion Slash!
**[09:49] ---**
Got you!
**[09:53] ---**
What?!
**[09:55] ---**
It's over...
**[09:57] ---**
Hadlar!
**[10:00] ---**
H-He did it!
**[10:05] ---**
Impossible! It didn't cut through!
**[10:09] ---**
Look out!
**[10:16] ---**
D-Dai?!
**[10:23] ---**
Dino!
**[10:27] ---**
GIGABREAK
**[10:32] ---**
AVAN STRASH
**[11:00] ---**
Move!
**[11:03] ---**
Dino! Hang in there, Dino!
**[11:06] ---**
*No! The wound is too deep!*
**[11:10] ---**
*Untreated, it could be fatal!*
**[11:16] ---**
Dino!
**[11:18] ---**
Dino?
**[11:19] ---**
Oh. You mean me.
**[11:24] ---**
Looks like it didn't work.
**[11:26] ---**
It's strange. Your Gigabreak
was much stronger when you fought me.
**[11:36] ---**
That's enough! Don't talk!
**[11:38] ---**
Let me heal you!
**[11:43] ---**
*Why? Why is my head
still attached to my body?!*
**[11:48] ---**
*Baran attacked at the perfect range
for a fatal blow.*
**[11:54] ---**
*How could I take a fatal blow
from Dragon Master General Baran*
**[11:58] ---**
*and still have my head on my shoulders?*
**[12:01] ---**
How?!
**[12:04] ---**
Allow me to answer that question.
**[12:08] ---**
You!
**[12:09] ---**
You're still alive?!
**[12:13] ---**
It'd be pretty sad if a reaper
was killed. Of course I'm alive.
**[12:18] ---**
Yo! The undying man!
**[12:20] ---**
How can you be alive
after I cleaved you in half?
**[12:24] ---**
That's it. Cleaving me in half
was the problem, Baran.
**[12:29] ---**
What?!
**[12:30] ---**
The blood in my veins has the same
composition as Underworld magma.
**[12:35] ---**
It's super-hot and contains
a powerful acid.
**[12:41] ---**
*You went and cut me in half*
**[12:43] ---**
*getting my blood all over
your Demon Dragon Blade.*
**[12:50] ---**
So now you see.
**[12:52] ---**
My blood corroded your sword,
dulling its sharpness.
**[12:59] ---**
Even the Demon Dragon Blade
can't regenerate that damage quickly.
**[13:05] ---**
Against someone as strong as Hadlar here,
it loses its effectiveness.
**[13:13] ---**
This is my curse, Baran.
**[13:16] ---**
A reaper always kills its target.
**[13:22] ---**
You may evade me,
but there are consequences.
**[13:26] ---**
So there you have it, Hadlar.
**[13:29] ---**
I doubt you'd like me taking your prey,
so I leave the rest to you.
**[13:33] ---**
Be sure to take care of Baran for me.
**[13:38] ---**
I didn't know you were ordered
to assassinate Baran, Reaper.
**[13:43] ---**
Everything's a mystery with you.
**[13:46] ---**
That's an ugly wound.
**[13:48] ---**
Piroro, heal him will you?
**[13:51] ---**
It'll heal momentarily.
**[13:52] ---**
Now, now. Don't be like that.
**[13:56] ---**
Learn to accept
people's generosity, Hadlar.
**[14:00] ---**
So long as Baran dies,
my job will be complete.
**[14:05] ---**
One more thing.
I'd advise against showing any mercy.
**[14:11] ---**
You should crush them at once.
**[14:14] ---**
You may want a fair fight, but his sword
won't regenerate for a while.
**[14:21] ---**
Do you have that sort of time left?
**[14:25] ---**
How did you...?!
**[14:26] ---**
Hooray! It's all healed!
**[14:28] ---**
Oh? There's another small wound here!
**[14:32] ---**
Let me take care of that!
**[14:41] ---**
*They know!*
**[14:43] ---**
*They're backing down
not so that Hadlar can have the glory,*
**[14:47] ---**
*but to avoid the Black Core's explosion!*
**[14:50] ---**
Goodbye and good luck, Hadlar.
You too, Baran.
**[14:54] ---**
Not that it'll help.
**[14:58] ---**
I'd prefer not to win a fight
with the Reaper's help.
**[15:02] ---**
But I don't have the luxury of waiting
until you're both ready to fight.
**[15:08] ---**
I won't be holding back, Baran!
**[15:12] ---**
*No! If I stop the healing spell now,
Dino might not survive!*
**[15:17] ---**
*I can't let go of him,
no matter what attack comes!*
**[15:23] ---**
So you choose
to protect your son. So be it.
**[15:27] ---**
I can't extend this fight any longer!
I must finish things now!
**[15:35] ---**
D-Dodge it!
**[15:37] ---**
Forget about me and keep fighting!
**[15:43] ---**
Kaboom!
**[16:03] ---**
D-Dino!
**[16:09] ---**
Y-You fool! How could you be so reckless?!
**[16:16] ---**
I'm fine. I'm already fully healed now.
**[16:24] ---**
Stop pretending! Your wound...
**[16:26] ---**
I've had it!
**[16:27] ---**
What?!
**[16:29] ---**
All this covering for each other
and walking on eggshells while fighting...
**[16:36] ---**
I've had it!
**[16:38] ---**
We're family aren't we?
**[16:42] ---**
Dino...
**[16:44] ---**
If we're going to fight together,
let's really fight together as one!
**[16:50] ---**
If the two of us seriously work together
**[16:53] ---**
maybe we can find some new,
final power!
**[16:59] ---**
A final power...
**[17:05] ---**
Okay! Here goes, Hadlar!
**[17:12] ---**
Darn it!
**[17:14] ---**
This is nothing!
**[17:16] ---**
*What an unlimited willpower he possesses!*
**[17:35] ---**
Very well. I'll do as you say.
**[17:38] ---**
Really?
**[17:42] ---**
What was that?!
**[17:44] ---**
Dai. Who gave that name to you?
**[17:49] ---**
It was Grampa.
**[17:52] ---**
*When I washed up on Dermline Island.*
**[17:56] ---**
*My crib.*
**[17:58] ---**
*There was a name plate.*
**[18:01] ---**
*Only the "D" was left on it.*
**[18:03] ---**
*Grampa gave me this name
so that at least...*
**[18:08] ---**
*I'd share the initial
my real parents gave me.*
**[18:15] ---**
Why am I so sleepy?
**[18:18] ---**
I cast the Sleep Spell Kasnooze on you.
**[18:22] ---**
Leave the fighting to me and sleep.
**[18:26] ---**
Why? I'll fight with you!
**[18:29] ---**
Lie still and you should heal.
**[18:32] ---**
You're a Dragon Knight.
Your healing abilities should be strong.
**[18:37] ---**
N-No! H-How could you do this to me?
**[18:42] ---**
Children may wish otherwise,
but this is what parents must do.
**[18:48] ---**
You'll understand when you grow up.
**[18:51] ---**
Don't do this!
**[18:53] ---**
I... I'll fight with you!
**[18:57] ---**
"Dai," is it?
**[19:00] ---**
*It's a good name.*
**[19:02] ---**
*But I hope you'll remember the name
that Soala and I gave you.*
**[19:09] ---**
*"Dino." In the Alkeed Kingdom language
it means, "Strong Dragon."*
**[19:14] ---**
Why?! Why does everybody do this to me?!
**[19:20] ---**
Even Master... Even Master
cast Kaclang on me and...
**[19:27] ---**
I see.
**[19:28] ---**
So Avan did the same sort of thing.
**[19:33] ---**
It seems that, in the very end,
part of me learned how to be human.
**[19:42] ---**
This can't be the end!
**[19:46] ---**
No!
**[19:49] ---**
It's not...
**[19:51] ---**
It's not...
**[19:55] ---**
fair.
**[20:00] ---**
*Come on! Good night, Dino!*
**[20:05] ---**
*Go to sleep!*
**[20:13] ---**
Good night, Dino!
**[20:17] ---**
What's wrong, Dino?
**[20:20] ---**
You're doing it wrong.
**[20:22] ---**
Go to sleep, Dino. Good night.
**[20:27] ---**
Honestly, you never get the hang
of putting him to sleep.
**[20:32] ---**
*It looks like you're right, Soala.*
**[20:39] ---**
*I never got the hang
of putting him to sleep.*
**[20:51] ---**
You're a parent at heart, Baran.
You risk yourself for him.
**[20:56] ---**
Prepare yourself, Hadlar.
**[20:59] ---**
I swore I'd never use
this power again, but...
**[21:04] ---**
I use it now!
**[21:06] ---**
That's...!
**[21:08] ---**
I didn't put Dino to sleep
out of fear for his well being!
**[21:13] ---**
I once took this terrible form
when we battled before!
**[21:19] ---**
I never want him to see it again!
**[21:28] ---**
That form! The Dragonoid!
**[21:37] ---**
I see! So you plan to fight in
the Dragon Knight's ultimate battle mode!
**[21:44] ---**
Very well! I accept your challenge!
**[21:50] ---**
Die Hadlar!
**[21:51] ---**
We can go to hell together!
**[21:57] ---**
C-Curse you!
**[22:07] ---**
*To be honest I was clumsy*
**[22:07] ---**
*omoeba boku wa bukiyou de*
**[22:12] ---**
*And it took me forever to get here*
**[22:12] ---**
*shouganaikurai tomawarishita*
**[22:18] ---**
*kodokukannsura mo buki ni shite*
**[22:18] ---**
*I used even loneliness as a weapon*
**[22:24] ---**
*tannjun na kotae wo sagashita dannjon*
**[22:24] ---**
*I searched the dungeon for a simple answer*
**[22:29] ---**
*tadashisa yasashisa nagedashite mo*
**[22:29] ---**
*Even if I cast aside
Rightness and kindness*
**[22:35] ---**
*tada hitori kimi no mikata de itai*
**[22:35] ---**
*I just want to be there for you*
**[22:41] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga*
**[22:41] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[22:47] ---**
*ari to arayuru mahou yori muzukashikute*

THE BLACK CORE
**[02:02] ---**
I hope you're ready for this!
**[02:12] ---**
Howl, Vortex Axe!
**[02:15] ---**
Take this!
**[02:20] ---**
I shall be your opponent!
**[02:23] ---**
Don't think you'll beat me that easily!
**[03:12] ---**
So this is the power of the Dragonoid!
**[03:15] ---**
A truly worthy opponent indeed!
**[03:30] ---**
You still don't seem to understand...
**[03:33] ---**
Hadlar!
**[03:59] ---**
The Dragonoid does not stop
until its opponent is dead.
**[04:03] ---**
It's the ultimate battle form
of a Dragon Knight.
**[04:09] ---**
Now that I have taken this form,
**[04:11] ---**
you stand no chance
no matter how hard you try!
**[04:26] ---**
Curse you!
**[04:39] ---**
Now you can't use your sword
or Extreme Spells for a while.
**[04:46] ---**
*He's strong... Too strong!*
**[04:48] ---**
*This Superior Being body was created
based on the Dragonoid's abilities!*
**[04:54] ---**
*It should rival or even surpass Baran!*
**[04:58] ---**
*Why?!*
**[04:59] ---**
*Why can't I do anything to him?!*
**[05:06] ---**
He's powerful.
**[05:08] ---**
Even Hadlar is powerless against him.
**[05:11] ---**
It looks like Hadlar
disturbed the beast's nest.
**[05:16] ---**
Every animal lashes out
if its nest is disturbed.
**[05:21] ---**
They display extraordinary strength
to protect their young.
**[05:25] ---**
*And unleash harsh punishment.*
**[05:27] ---**
*This is the same.*
**[05:31] ---**
I suppose that settles it.
**[05:34] ---**
Very well.
**[05:37] ---**
You're going to detonate the Black Core?
**[05:40] ---**
Now that Hadlar cannot win,
this is only mercy.
**[05:46] ---**
Don't you agree?
**[05:50] ---**
All I do is emit my Magic Power
from this finger and the Core explodes.
**[05:56] ---**
When Baran comes in contact with Hadlar...
**[06:01] ---**
that's when everything ends.
**[06:17] ---**
You would still fight, Hadlar?
**[06:24] ---**
You're trying to use
Ultra Combustion Slash with a broken arm?
**[06:29] ---**
That's pure futility!
**[06:33] ---**
Say what you will!
**[06:36] ---**
Simply waiting to die on the ground
would be worse than this pain!
**[06:41] ---**
At the very least, I can try!
**[06:47] ---**
Very well.
**[06:50] ---**
I accept your challenge!
**[07:59] ---**
How disappointing it is, Baran.
**[08:03] ---**
To come so far yet come up short.
**[08:14] ---**
Your final effort
was most impressive, Hadlar.
**[08:18] ---**
But fear not.
**[08:20] ---**
As you hoped, even in death
you can still defeat Baran.
**[08:27] ---**
Here at this very moment.
**[08:31] ---**
Shatter into pieces, Black Core!
**[08:43] ---**
What?!
**[08:47] ---**
Impossible!
**[08:49] ---**
I emitted my Magic Power, and yet...
**[08:52] ---**
Why doesn't the Core explode?
**[08:58] ---**
You underestimated me, Dark King Vearn.
**[09:01] ---**
Why do you think...
**[09:03] ---**
*I accepted Hadlar's final challenge?*
**[09:09] ---**
It was because
I was waiting for this chance!
**[09:16] ---**
So I could prevent the Black Core's
explosion with my Draconic Aura!
**[09:24] ---**
Well done, Baran.
**[09:26] ---**
So he was prepared for the explosion.
**[09:33] ---**
What...
**[09:34] ---**
What...
**[09:36] ---**
What is that thing?!
**[09:38] ---**
What was that thing doing inside of me?!
**[09:42] ---**
As a Darkling, you must have heard of it.
**[09:47] ---**
This is a Black Core!
**[09:49] ---**
A Black Core?!
**[09:52] ---**
That's...
**[09:54] ---**
That's impossible!
**[09:56] ---**
The cursed legendary explosive
was inside of me?!
**[10:01] ---**
Who?! Who would do such a thing?!
**[10:04] ---**
Who else?
**[10:06] ---**
It was your master.
**[10:08] ---**
The one who promised you
the surface world,
**[10:11] ---**
while ruthlessly intending
to destroy it anyway!
**[10:15] ---**
King Vearn?!
**[10:17] ---**
I see now!
**[10:19] ---**
You and Dai were holding back
because of the Black Core!
**[10:27] ---**
What happened...
**[10:29] ---**
What happened to a fair fight?!
**[10:33] ---**
There was no way you could have won
under such conditions!
**[10:39] ---**
I sacrificed my own body...
**[10:42] ---**
I sacrificed my own life
to have this battle!
**[10:55] ---**
*Hadlar...*
**[10:57] ---**
Oh my. How pathetic, Hadlar.
**[11:00] ---**
It can't be helped, Killvearn.
**[11:03] ---**
I didn't expect the power of Baran's Aura
as a Dragonoid to be this strong.
**[11:10] ---**
He repelled my Magic Power.
How very impressive.
**[11:16] ---**
But as the Core's creator,
all I need to do is approach it
**[11:21] ---**
and detonating it should be no problem.
**[11:29] ---**
Very well.
**[11:30] ---**
I shall go myself
and erase them along with the Core.
**[11:35] ---**
King Vearn, if you go out there,
it'll just put us to shame.
**[11:42] ---**
Right, Myst?
**[11:45] ---**
And there he goes.
**[11:52] ---**
Baran, what are you doing?!
**[11:54] ---**
I'm removing the Core from you
before Vearn makes his next move!
**[12:08] ---**
Mystvearn?!
**[12:09] ---**
He's here to eliminate us.
**[12:14] ---**
Mystvearn...
**[12:15] ---**
Do you...
**[12:17] ---**
Do you share King Vearn's opinion?!
**[12:20] ---**
Are you here to discard me
like a useless tool?!
**[12:24] ---**
Was I...
**[12:25] ---**
Was I just a pawn to you, too?!
**[12:32] ---**
Hadlar...
**[12:33] ---**
I have but one answer to your question.
**[12:44] ---**
The Dark King's words
take precedence above all.
**[12:51] ---**
I see. So that's your answer.
**[12:56] ---**
You're already too late, Mystvearn.
**[12:59] ---**
Even with you here I can't be defeated!
**[13:02] ---**
Don't be so sure.
**[13:04] ---**
I can erase the both of you
without even a touch.
**[13:16] ---**
What is this powerful tremor?!
**[13:19] ---**
King Vearn, do I have your permission?
**[13:23] ---**
I grant it, Mystvearn.
**[14:03] ---**
ULTRA COMBUSTION SLASH
**[14:08] ---**
GIGABREAK
**[14:14] ---**
That's...!
**[14:15] ---**
Mystvearn's true form?!
**[14:20] ---**
With the flash of the Black Core, begone!
**[14:31] ---**
The Core has been activated?!
**[14:33] ---**
*Impossible!*
**[14:34] ---**
*My Dragonoid Draconic Aura
should repel any Magic Power!*
**[14:40] ---**
*It would take Vearn's own
Magic Power at close proximity to...*
**[14:46] ---**
Could it be...?!
**[14:47] ---**
Detonate!
**[14:58] ---**
It's going to explode!
**[15:00] ---**
Only the Magic Power of
a Black Core's creator can detonate it!
**[15:06] ---**
Mystvearn! Does this mean
your real form...?!
**[15:10] ---**
There's no point in asking.
**[15:13] ---**
In a moment, you two
will be erased from this world.
**[15:16] ---**
Now that you have seen this face,
you cannot be allowed to live.
**[15:40] ---**
What is this strange rumbling?!
**[15:43] ---**
I'm not sure,
but I have a bad feeling about this!
**[15:47] ---**
Hey! Where are you facing?!
**[15:54] ---**
Everybody! Gather in one place!
**[15:57] ---**
Something's happening
to the Field of Death!
**[16:05] ---**
What?!
**[16:11] ---**
What's wrong?! Merle!
**[16:13] ---**
A white flash is swallowing everyone!
**[16:16] ---**
Everyone is going to vanish!
**[16:18] ---**
Even Popp!
**[16:20] ---**
No!
**[16:21] ---**
Calm down!
**[16:30] ---**
Is it connected to this rumbling?
**[16:32] ---**
Princess! Emergency!
**[16:35] ---**
The Field of Death
has suddenly begun shaking!
**[16:39] ---**
It's like... an active volcano!
**[16:41] ---**
What?!
**[16:42] ---**
Is something happening again?!
**[16:49] ---**
Princess Leona!
**[16:50] ---**
We must go save the Heroes!
**[16:53] ---**
Stop!
**[16:56] ---**
Who...?
**[17:01] ---**
You!
**[17:03] ---**
Oh! You're alright!
**[17:05] ---**
We must leave this place immediately!
**[17:08] ---**
Hurry!
**[17:09] ---**
Yes!
**[17:15] ---**
*It's no good! The explosion is inevitable!*
**[17:21] ---**
Goodbye Hadlar. And Baran.
**[17:24] ---**
The two men King Vearn himself respected.
**[17:28] ---**
Your names shall be etched in my heart...
**[17:32] ---**
forever.
**[18:17] ---**
This shaking.
**[18:19] ---**
So Vearn Palace is finally going to move?
**[18:22] ---**
That's right.
**[18:32] ---**
You're covering up already?
**[18:34] ---**
Your true face is so much cooler.
**[18:37] ---**
So much cooler!
**[18:39] ---**
That power should not be unduly exposed.
**[18:43] ---**
As you command, my Dark King.
**[18:46] ---**
You've done well, Mystvearn.
**[18:50] ---**
It's over.
**[18:52] ---**
All of it.
**[18:53] ---**
The Hero, Baran and all other nuisances
have all been erased...
**[18:58] ---**
along with the Field of Death.
**[19:01] ---**
So we're all that's left.
**[19:03] ---**
Yes.
**[19:05] ---**
Us...
**[19:07] ---**
and Vearn Palace itself.
**[19:10] ---**
*Now it is time for
the surface world to be erased.*
**[19:18] ---**
*I'm removing the barrier
around Vearn Palace now.*
**[19:22] ---**
*The remaining rocks that covered it
should all fall away.*
**[19:28] ---**
However, too much remains.
**[19:33] ---**
With the explosion of the Black Core,
aside from Vearn Palace,
**[19:37] ---**
all the rocks should have been
reduced to ash.
**[19:44] ---**
Could it be...?
**[19:45] ---**
Mystvearn, have the Heyedras
search for any survivors.
**[19:51] ---**
My King!
**[20:11] ---**
*Survivors! Survivors spotted!*
**[20:14] ---**
*Four survivors on the left wing!*
**[20:17] ---**
The Disciples of Avan.
**[20:19] ---**
They survived? In that explosion?
**[20:24] ---**
How very fortunate of them.
**[20:28] ---**
Did we make it?
**[20:30] ---**
That explosion was unbelievable.
**[20:32] ---**
Who saved us?
**[20:34] ---**
It was probably Big Guy here.
**[20:37] ---**
Who else has the strength to save us
by burying us all alive?
**[20:42] ---**
Stop complaining.
At least we're still alive.
**[20:46] ---**
I figured that underground
was probably the safest place.
**[20:51] ---**
So I dug a hole in the ground
big enough to hide us.
**[20:54] ---**
Good idea. It was probably
the only option given that blast.
**[20:58] ---**
The Royal Guard are all gone.
**[21:02] ---**
It looks like we're
the only ones who survived.
**[21:06] ---**
Nice judgment call!
**[21:08] ---**
Too late!
**[21:11] ---**
But where are we?
**[21:13] ---**
This place is nothing like
the Field of Death.
**[21:15] ---**
This is probably Vearn Palace.
**[21:18] ---**
The explosion tore away the Field of Death
and exposed what lied beneath.
**[21:23] ---**
Then that thing way over there is...!
**[21:26] ---**
That must be Dark King Vearn's palace!
**[21:36] ---**
It can't be!
**[21:38] ---**
Popp?!
**[21:40] ---**
*You're saying we just flew into the sky
with Vearn Palace?!*

THE INHERITED HEART
**[01:54] ---**
This...
**[01:55] ---**
This is Vearn Palace?!
**[02:04] ---**
Was this thing buried under
the Field of Death?!
**[02:12] ---**
Guys!
**[02:15] ---**
Ow!
**[02:16] ---**
Well?!
**[02:18] ---**
It's a giant floating palace...
or more like a gigantic bird!
**[02:23] ---**
We're sitting on the edge of
an unbelievably gigantic bird!
**[02:28] ---**
No way...
**[02:29] ---**
This couldn't have been done by a human!
**[02:32] ---**
Something this big is in the air?
**[02:35] ---**
Such is the depth
of Dark King Vearn's Magic Power.
**[02:49] ---**
It's made of some material
between rock and metal.
**[02:54] ---**
It must be floating due to some reaction
with the Dark King's Magic Power.
**[03:00] ---**
All of Vearn Palace is made of this.
**[03:04] ---**
What now?
Should we escape with a Zoom spell?
**[03:09] ---**
Come on! We can't run
and leave Dai and his father behind!
**[03:14] ---**
You're right!
**[03:16] ---**
That explosion must have happened
during their fight against Hadlar.
**[03:24] ---**
Nothing else would explain
that destructive power.
**[03:27] ---**
I doubt Vearn would intentionally
unveil Vearn Palace so soon.
**[03:33] ---**
Let's find Dai and Baran!
**[03:34] ---**
If this is Vearn Palace, it must have
an entrance from which they entered!
**[03:40] ---**
But with it being this big...
**[03:43] ---**
we probably shouldn't just wander around.
**[03:46] ---**
Popp, you saw this whole place
from above, right?!
**[03:48] ---**
Was there anything like that?!
**[03:51] ---**
No...
**[03:53] ---**
I don't think...
**[03:55] ---**
I saw anything...
**[03:57] ---**
Everyone!
**[04:00] ---**
There.
**[04:05] ---**
The explosion happened there.
**[04:08] ---**
That's the head of the bird.
**[04:10] ---**
There's a staircase.
**[04:13] ---**
That must be the entrance to
Vearn Palace, the Dark Citadel Gate.
**[04:19] ---**
Popp, can you take us all there?
**[04:22] ---**
Sure! You bet!
**[04:24] ---**
A Zoom spell will still work
if I can see the target.
**[04:28] ---**
Everybody, come closer.
**[04:33] ---**
Here we go!
**[04:39] ---**
The Dark Citadel Gate!
**[04:41] ---**
Yeah. You can see
where Dai and Baran shattered it.
**[04:44] ---**
Let's go!
**[05:12] ---**
*The survivors have moved to
the entrance of Vearn Palace.*
**[05:17] ---**
They've gone to rescue Dai.
**[05:20] ---**
What shall we do, King Vearn?
**[05:23] ---**
A simple welcome
would hardly be sufficient.
**[05:27] ---**
They're honored guests to my Vearn Palace.
**[05:43] ---**
Gomechan?
**[05:45] ---**
Don't move, Dai.
You wound is pretty deep.
**[05:47] ---**
Hyunckel... You're all okay.
**[05:51] ---**
Good.
**[05:53] ---**
He must have managed
to contain the blast, Baran...
**[06:05] ---**
What's wrong?
**[06:07] ---**
Did something happen to...
**[06:26] ---**
How...
**[06:29] ---**
How did that happen to him?!
**[06:31] ---**
Dai, take a good look around you.
**[06:50] ---**
I'm not sure exactly what happened.
**[06:54] ---**
But I'm certain of one thing.
**[06:57] ---**
Baran shielded you from
that massive explosion,
**[07:01] ---**
using all of his Draconic Aura.
**[07:05] ---**
And...
**[07:25] ---**
Hold on!
**[07:27] ---**
Hang in there!
**[07:31] ---**
Maam, cast Midheal on him!
**[07:36] ---**
Maam!
**[07:37] ---**
I can't, Dai.
**[07:40] ---**
Heal-type spells only work on
creatures with life energy left in them.
**[07:46] ---**
Your father, he...
**[07:47] ---**
What are you talking about?!
That... That's not possible!
**[07:52] ---**
Just cast Midheal on him!
**[07:54] ---**
Stop it, Dai.
**[08:03] ---**
Is that you... Dai?
**[08:07] ---**
I can't... see anymore.
**[08:11] ---**
It's me!
**[08:12] ---**
I'm... I'm right here!
**[08:15] ---**
Your friends.
**[08:16] ---**
Are they all... safe?
**[08:19] ---**
Yeah! They're all alive!
**[08:22] ---**
They're all okay!
**[08:24] ---**
I see.
**[08:26] ---**
That's good.
**[08:29] ---**
But Dai...
**[08:30] ---**
you mustn't badger them.
**[08:36] ---**
I am... beyond help.
**[08:41] ---**
*At the moment of detonation...*
**[09:27] ---**
*I used Doruora and unleashed
all of my Draconic Aura...*
**[09:32] ---**
*to suppress the scale of
the Black Core's blast.*
**[09:37] ---**
My body doesn't have
a shred of life energy left within.
**[09:44] ---**
No healing can save me now.
**[09:46] ---**
No!
**[09:47] ---**
A real Dragon Knight... the true
Dragon Knight is unstoppable, right?!
**[09:53] ---**
No matter what, you won't die!
**[09:57] ---**
You can't die!
**[10:02] ---**
Don't weep, Dai.
**[10:04] ---**
I'm not the true Dragon Knight.
**[10:10] ---**
I had the power and the magic...
**[10:14] ---**
but I lacked the heart.
**[10:16] ---**
You have that which I lacked.
**[10:19] ---**
The monster that raised you...
**[10:23] ---**
had a far purer heart than I ever did.
**[10:29] ---**
You don't need to weep over my death.
**[10:32] ---**
For you... he is your true father.
**[10:36] ---**
You're wrong.
**[10:37] ---**
Grampa is Grampa.
**[10:40] ---**
He's not...
**[10:41] ---**
my real father.
**[10:44] ---**
What?
**[10:46] ---**
I can barely hear anything anymore.
**[10:52] ---**
Dai.
**[10:53] ---**
This is your last chance.
**[10:55] ---**
Call out to your father
with all of your strength.
**[11:03] ---**
Don't weep...
**[11:05] ---**
Dai.
**[11:07] ---**
Be strong...
**[11:10] ---**
Be strong...
**[11:13] ---**
and live.
**[11:19] ---**
D...
**[11:21] ---**
Dad!
**[11:32] ---**
GIGABREAK
**[11:38] ---**
AVAN STRASH
**[12:12] ---**
Don't weep, Dai.
**[12:14] ---**
Though my body may perish,
my soul lives on.
**[12:19] ---**
I will be with you in the battle ahead.
**[12:25] ---**
Dad...
**[12:27] ---**
We shall always be together,
**[12:31] ---**
never to part again.
**[12:33] ---**
Fight on, my son.
**[12:37] ---**
And defeat Dark King Vearn.
**[12:43] ---**
Now stand!
**[12:44] ---**
Stand up, Dai!
**[12:46] ---**
Dad!
**[12:59] ---**
What's wrong, Dai? What just happened?
**[13:03] ---**
*Dad...*
**[13:05] ---**
*Dad's heart entered mine.*
**[13:09] ---**
*I finally know...*
**[13:11] ---**
*all the things he never said...*
**[13:14] ---**
*everything he felt...*
**[13:17] ---**
*I heard it all.*
**[13:37] ---**
Dai, let's go back to the surface.
**[13:44] ---**
Dai, I know nothing we can say
will ease your loss.
**[13:48] ---**
But we're in enemy territory.
**[13:50] ---**
You know as much as we do
that we can't stop here.
**[13:55] ---**
Whoa, what are you saying?!
**[13:57] ---**
You don't mean we should go charging
after the Dark King right now?!
**[14:02] ---**
Are you serious?!
Don't you have a shred of humanity?!
**[14:07] ---**
He just lost his father in front of him!
**[14:11] ---**
What can he do in this state?!
**[14:14] ---**
Our only option is a temporary retreat!
**[14:17] ---**
Say something, will you?!
**[14:21] ---**
Popp.
**[14:22] ---**
The pain of losing a parent
is like a physical wound.
**[14:29] ---**
*That much I know for myself.*
**[14:34] ---**
But consider why Baran died,
not just the fact that he did.
**[14:40] ---**
Baran died to open the way for Dai and us.
**[14:44] ---**
Now that Hadlar
and his Royal Guard are gone...
**[14:47] ---**
getting to the Dark King's palace
should be easy.
**[14:51] ---**
But, given time,
they'll regroup their forces.
**[14:55] ---**
This is the very chance
that Baran gave us, Popp!
**[15:00] ---**
Yeah, but...
**[15:01] ---**
If we retreat now,
his death will have been in vain!
**[15:06] ---**
We're fighting for everyone in the world.
**[15:10] ---**
I know Dai's father would...
**[15:12] ---**
Maybe so, but...
**[15:14] ---**
Popp.
**[15:17] ---**
Don't worry about me.
**[15:19] ---**
I'm fine.
**[15:21] ---**
Let's go!
**[15:23] ---**
Are you... Are you really sure?!
**[15:25] ---**
That means leaving your father here!
**[15:28] ---**
It doesn't.
**[15:31] ---**
Dad is... right here.
**[15:34] ---**
Dai...
**[15:36] ---**
And he told me...
**[15:38] ---**
"Stop crying and fight!"
**[15:42] ---**
So we have to move forward.
Otherwise, he'll yell at me again.
**[15:49] ---**
All right! All right, Dai!
**[15:51] ---**
If you say so, I'll follow you to
the very, very end!
**[15:55] ---**
So let's finish this and go home!
**[15:59] ---**
Let's go kick that Dark King's butt!
**[16:01] ---**
Yeah!
**[16:10] ---**
That's a rather bold statement,
young Mage.
**[16:19] ---**
Killvearn!
**[16:20] ---**
Mystvearn!
**[16:21] ---**
Why don't you try repeating that...
**[16:26] ---**
in front of him?
**[16:28] ---**
What?!
**[16:29] ---**
All hail!
**[16:33] ---**
Vearn, the Dark King
shall grant an audience!
**[17:16] ---**
You...
**[17:18] ---**
You're...
**[17:19] ---**
Indeed. I am Dark King Vearn.
**[17:38] ---**
What the hell?!
A decrepit old geezer just showed up!
**[17:42] ---**
He may be easier to beat than we thought!
Maybe we can go home early!
**[17:46] ---**
What a letdown, right guys?
**[17:54] ---**
*Oh come on! Somebody say something!*
**[17:59] ---**
*Now things are even more
uncomfortable than before!*
**[18:04] ---**
It looks like everyone
already realizes, Popp,
**[18:08] ---**
that King Vearn is
far more than meets the eye!
**[18:15] ---**
It looks like it's quite a shock to
the former members of the Dark Army.
**[18:21] ---**
You only interacted with him indirectly,
but the overwhelming pressure you felt
**[18:28] ---**
is still coming from the venerable
gentleman you see before you.
**[18:33] ---**
His calm demeanor is
all the more terrifying!
**[18:40] ---**
And what makes you say that,
you third-rate Reaper?!
**[18:45] ---**
It's obvious!
**[18:47] ---**
They have the same expression
Hadlar did when he first met King Vearn.
**[18:56] ---**
Killvearn.
**[19:00] ---**
Stop trying to scare them.
**[19:03] ---**
Why do you think I went to
the trouble of coming here?
**[19:08] ---**
Sorry, sir.
**[19:09] ---**
Whoops. You made him mad.
**[19:24] ---**
Congratulations on coming this far.
I'm impressed.
**[19:29] ---**
I was certain you would be defeated.
**[19:33] ---**
With Hadlar and his Royal Guard,
our victory seemed certain.
**[19:40] ---**
There was also the Black Core
I implanted in Hadlar.
**[19:45] ---**
Vearn Palace was supposed to
take to the skies
**[19:49] ---**
only when all enemies had been eliminated.
**[19:54] ---**
It's a miracle.
**[19:56] ---**
Even with Baran helping you,
**[19:59] ---**
the fact that you all stand here
is nothing short of a miracle.
**[20:06] ---**
So what if it is?!
**[20:09] ---**
I thought I'd give you a reward.
**[20:13] ---**
To commend your miraculous efforts.
**[20:18] ---**
A reward?
**[20:19] ---**
I thought it over.
**[20:22] ---**
What is it you want most?
**[20:25] ---**
It would have to be
nothing other than my life itself.
**[20:32] ---**
However, Mystvearn and Killvearn
are as strong as Hadlar...
**[20:37] ---**
if not even stronger.
**[20:41] ---**
Against the three of us,
you would have no chance of killing me.
**[20:49] ---**
So I shall give you a chance.
**[20:52] ---**
These two will not intervene.
**[20:55] ---**
I shall fight you alone.
**[20:59] ---**
That is your reward.
**[21:02] ---**
Wonderful, isn't it?
**[21:04] ---**
To act without these two
**[21:07] ---**
is something that
I haven't done in centuries.
**[21:16] ---**
*Dammit! He's playing with us!*
**[21:19] ---**
*He truly believes that
we have no chance of beating him!*
**[21:26] ---**
*Damn him!*
**[21:28] ---**
So?
**[21:29] ---**
Surely you won't refuse.
**[21:32] ---**
Of course not!
**[21:34] ---**
We would have fought even if you had
Mystvearn and the Reaper!
**[21:37] ---**
That's why we've all come this far!
**[21:43] ---**
Very well then.
**[21:45] ---**
Let us begin.
**[22:07] ---**
*To be honest I was clumsy*
**[22:07] ---**
*omoeba boku wa bukiyou de*
**[22:12] ---**
*And it took me forever to get here*
**[22:12] ---**

*I used even loneliness as a weapon*

*I searched the dungeon for a simple answer*
**[22:24] ---**

*Even if I cast aside
Rightness and kindness*
**[22:30] ---**
*tadashisa yasashisa nagedashite mo*
**[22:35] ---**
*I just want to be there for you*
**[22:35] ---**
*tada hitori kimi no mikata de itai*
**[22:42] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[22:42] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga*
**[22:47] ---**
*Is harder than any magic spell*
**[22:47] ---**
*ari to arayuru mahou yori muzukashikute*
**[22:53] ---**
*Even though you're so close to me*
**[22:53] ---**
*konnani mo chikaku ni itanoni*
**[22:59] ---**
*I love you*
**[22:59] ---**
*aishiteiru*
**[23:02] ---**
*I finally realized it*
**[23:02] ---**
*imasara kizuitanosa*
**[23:05] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[23:05] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu tame ni*
**[23:10] ---**
*Must be the reason I was born*
**[23:10] ---**
*boku wa kitto umarete kitannda*
**[23:16] ---**
*I shake off the clinging night*
**[23:16] ---**
*shigamitsuku yoru furihodoite*
**[23:22] ---**
*And go to see you*
**[23:22] ---**
*ai ni iku*
**[23:25] ---**
*Right now to where you are*
**[23:25] ---**
*ima sugu kimi no moto e*
**[23:34] ---**
*At last, Dark King Vearn
appears before Dai and his friends.*
**[23:38] ---**
*Even alone, Vearn fights
with a smile on his face.*
**[23:42] ---**
*His confidence comes from his overwhelming
Dark Aura and Magic Power.*
**[23:47] ---**
*As the party is driven back,
Vearn unleashes his powerful magic.*
**[23:51] ---**
*What will happen to Dai and his friends?*
**[23:54] ---**
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,*
**[23:56] ---**
*"The God of The Underworld"*
**[23:57] ---**
*The adventure continues!*

So I shall give you a chance.

These two will not intervene.
**[01:59] ---**
I shall fight you alone.
**[02:03] ---**
That is your reward.
**[02:05] ---**
So?
**[02:07] ---**
Surely you won't refuse.
**[02:09] ---**
Of course not!
**[02:11] ---**
We would have fought even if you had
Mystvearn and the Reaper!
**[02:15] ---**
That's why we've all come this far!
**[02:18] ---**
Very well then.
**[02:21] ---**
Let us begin.
**[02:28] ---**
Ah, I almost forgot.
**[02:31] ---**
That man.
**[02:33] ---**
His ability to fight was magnificent
and he truly lived up to the legends.
**[02:39] ---**
But sadly, it seems his heart
was far too human.
**[02:44] ---**
At least let me give him
an ending befitting a human.
**[03:03] ---**
Everyone, run!
**[03:05] ---**
It's a Kafrizz spell!
**[03:09] ---**
Dad!
**[03:15] ---**
Was that unsatisfactory?
**[03:17] ---**
Or did you wish to send him off yourself?
**[03:23] ---**
Don't, Dai!
**[03:36] ---**
Oh my. Your precious Hero
was the first to fall.
**[03:42] ---**
And now there's no one left
with the power to harm me.
**[03:49] ---**
*He took down Dai with one blow?!*
**[03:52] ---**
*What was that power?!*
**[03:55] ---**
What a disappointment.
And after I gave him a chance.
**[04:00] ---**
You would follow your father, Hero?
**[04:05] ---**
Everyone move!
**[04:10] ---**
I won't let you!
**[04:12] ---**
Kafrizz!
**[04:21] ---**
Now! Heal Dai
while I hold him off with my spell!
**[04:25] ---**
Dai!
**[04:35] ---**
Popp!
**[04:36] ---**
Popp!
**[04:40] ---**
Popp!
**[04:45] ---**
N-No way! He burned these clothes
that were sewn with magic!
**[04:52] ---**
With such a tiny ember!
**[04:54] ---**
Is the Dark King's Kafrizz spell
that much stronger than mine?!
**[04:59] ---**
A Kafrizz spell?
**[05:01] ---**
That was no Kafrizz spell.
**[05:05] ---**
It was Frizz.
**[05:08] ---**
Frizz?!
**[05:09] ---**
Even with the same spell,
**[05:12] ---**
depending on the caster's Magic Power,
the effects can vary greatly.
**[05:18] ---**
In other words, comparing my Frizz spell
to your Kafrizz spell,
**[05:22] ---**
my spell is far more powerful.
**[05:26] ---**
What?!
**[05:28] ---**
Such a difference in strength.
**[05:30] ---**
You managed to break the Dark Army's
assault time and time again.
**[05:35] ---**
So I assumed you were
a little more powerful, but I was wrong.
**[05:40] ---**
Even with that blow to Dai,
**[05:43] ---**
I merely shot a little of my Aura
to match his attack.
**[05:49] ---**
Just like this.
**[06:03] ---**
Super-pressurized Dark Aura?!
**[06:05] ---**
He hit Dai with that?!
**[06:07] ---**
This doesn't look good!
We must fight as one if we want to win!
**[06:13] ---**
How's Dai?! Is Dai alright, Maam?!
**[06:15] ---**
His heart is beating.
But he took so much damage...
**[06:20] ---**
He was hit where
he'd already been wounded!
**[06:26] ---**
Just heal him already!
**[06:28] ---**
I am!
**[06:30] ---**
Enough.
**[06:33] ---**
As much as I enjoy
watching you weaklings struggle...
**[06:38] ---**
don't bother anymore.
**[06:41] ---**
It seems I was wrong
to give you a taste of hope.
**[06:47] ---**
Even if Dai was in your ranks,
it would change nothing.
**[06:53] ---**
As recompense,
allow me to kill you painlessly.
**[07:15] ---**
This is my Kafrizz spell.
**[07:18] ---**
From its unimaginable power
and graceful form...
**[07:22] ---**
it has its own ancient name
in the Underworld.
**[07:26] ---**
Kaiser Phoenix.
**[07:35] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[07:37] ---**
My armour should be able
to withstand it for a bit!
**[07:41] ---**
Hurry and heal Dai!
**[07:45] ---**
Crap!
**[07:46] ---**
A second one?!
**[07:47] ---**
Impossible! He's too fast!
**[08:07] ---**
I don't have time to heal!
**[08:10] ---**
Everyone! Switch to the offensive!
**[08:25] ---**
Dark King, prepare yourself!
**[08:38] ---**
Bloody Scryde!
**[08:44] ---**
Such bright eyes.
**[08:45] ---**
How revolting.
**[08:47] ---**
You used to be far more magnificent.
**[08:59] ---**
Curse you!
**[09:08] ---**
Crocodine!
**[09:11] ---**
Look out!
**[09:17] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[09:20] ---**
Stop, Vearn!
**[09:26] ---**
Oh?
**[09:29] ---**
*Please work!*
**[09:30] ---**
*If I can't beat him with this,
I'll be out of spells that'll work on him!*
**[09:35] ---**
*Please work!*
**[09:37] ---**
Medroa!
**[09:42] ---**
What?!
**[09:43] ---**
This is Bounce.
**[09:51] ---**
*I'll have to cancel it out!*
**[09:58] ---**
Popp?!
**[10:08] ---**
Popp, are you okay?!
**[10:11] ---**
Dammit! He reflected my spell
with a Bounce spell.
**[10:15] ---**
I can't use Medroa anymore!
**[10:17] ---**
When did he cast a Bounce spell?!
**[10:21] ---**
His magic is on a whole different level.
**[10:24] ---**
His magic doesn't have a charge.
**[10:27] ---**
He can cast spells without
taking the time to charge them.
**[10:32] ---**
That lets him do two things
in the time it takes us to do one.
**[10:38] ---**
While we're attacking,
he can attack and defend at once.
**[10:52] ---**
Maam, can you carry Dai?
**[10:55] ---**
Huh?
**[10:55] ---**
I'm taking us over to Big Guy.
**[10:58] ---**
Then we'll Zoom out of here.
**[11:01] ---**
Popp...
**[11:02] ---**
I won't hear any arguments this time.
**[11:05] ---**
No wonder he's called
the God of the Underworld.
**[11:08] ---**
He's on a whole different level from us.
**[11:11] ---**
If we are to fight him again,
we'll need to regroup first or we'll die!
**[11:20] ---**
Got it.
**[11:22] ---**
Here goes! Come here!
**[11:25] ---**
Bye!
**[11:30] ---**
Zoom!
**[11:34] ---**
What?!
**[11:42] ---**
W-What happened?!
**[11:44] ---**
Poor thing.
Now things are even more hopeless.
**[11:50] ---**
Did you not know?
**[11:53] ---**
No one escapes the Dark King.
**[11:59] ---**
MEDROA
**[12:04] ---**
KAISER PHOENIX
**[12:08] ---**
Vearn Palace is shielded
by King Vearn's Magic Power.
**[12:14] ---**
You can't escape it with a Zoom spell.
**[12:17] ---**
Bleah!
**[12:18] ---**
Moving within Vearn Palace
may be possible,
**[12:21] ---**
but no one can enter
and no one may leave.
**[12:26] ---**
No one but warriors of the Dark Army
blessed with a special spell.
**[12:31] ---**
Dammit!
**[12:33] ---**
Had you tried to fight instead of running,
maybe you could have lived longer.
**[12:40] ---**
But I guess it's all the same.
**[12:42] ---**
Either way, there's nothing you can do.
**[12:45] ---**
You're all done for! Done for!
**[12:50] ---**
What's your problem?!
**[12:52] ---**
I said you're all done for!
**[12:56] ---**
You're! All! Done! For!
**[13:01] ---**
It's over.
**[13:02] ---**
Now to finish it.
**[13:11] ---**
I grazed him...
**[13:13] ---**
*back then...*
**[13:15] ---**
with my Refractor Fist!
**[13:17] ---**
I see! Back when you all attacked!
**[13:25] ---**
What a shock. It's a miracle.
**[13:28] ---**
*It worked!*
**[13:29] ---**
*Dark King Vearn is still
a living creature!*
**[13:33] ---**
*If I can hit him with my Refractor Fist...*
**[13:37] ---**
Care to try?
**[13:40] ---**
This is indeed
a one-in-a-million opportunity.
**[13:44] ---**
My servants won't intervene
and I'm wounded.
**[13:49] ---**
My attacks will be slower.
**[13:53] ---**
But, surely you know
that Darklings can regenerate.
**[14:00] ---**
If you don't hurry,
your opportunity will disappear.
**[14:04] ---**
*We can't escape
and I'm the only one who can fight.*
**[14:09] ---**
What will you do?
**[14:12] ---**
*I have to give it a shot!*
**[14:14] ---**
Don't!
**[14:25] ---**
You can't, Maam! Do you really think
he can be defeated so simply?!
**[14:29] ---**
How very sharp.
**[14:31] ---**
The little Mage is definitely
the MVP of this battle.
**[14:35] ---**
You were toying with me!
You could have regenerated any time!
**[14:40] ---**
How cruel! Do you enjoy
playing with us like that?!
**[14:45] ---**
I do enjoy it.
**[14:48] ---**
When you use the awesome power
you've gained to toy with the weak,
**[14:53] ---**
is it not pleasurable?
**[14:56] ---**
Do you not feel superior?
**[14:59] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[15:00] ---**
Power is the purest, most simple,
and most beautiful fundamental law.
**[15:05] ---**
"Might makes right"
is how all creatures live.
**[15:09] ---**
Darklings... Dragons... All creatures.
**[15:11] ---**
Only humans use their
pompous reasoning to deny the truth.
**[15:17] ---**
Power is the truth that rules all.
**[15:21] ---**
Even if you have power, that doesn't
give you the right to disrupt peace!
**[15:26] ---**
The peace that everyone
on the Surface World desires!
**[15:32] ---**
You are ignorant.
**[15:35] ---**
The truth is that peace is maintained
by a greater power.
**[15:41] ---**
Indeed.
**[15:43] ---**
By the power of the gods.
**[15:49] ---**
My home, the Underworld, is a world
that lies far beneath your lands.
**[15:56] ---**
Everywhere you look is
boiling magma and barren land.
**[16:02] ---**
What's more, the sun,
**[16:04] ---**
the source of all life,
does not shine in the Underworld.
**[16:08] ---**
The sun... Such a magnificent power.
**[16:12] ---**
But the gods granted the sun
and the Surface World to the humans,
**[16:17] ---**
banishing the Darklings
and Dragons to the Underworld
**[16:20] ---**
simply because the humans
were weaker than us.
**[16:27] ---**
If that is justice,
than our power, too, is justice.
**[16:32] ---**
That is why I spent
thousands of years building my power
**[16:37] ---**
in preparation to annihilate
the Surface World.
**[16:41] ---**
Soon, the Surface World will be gone.
**[16:44] ---**
Then, in our Underworld...
**[16:48] ---**
*the sun shall shine.*
**[16:51] ---**
When that happens, I...
**[16:55] ---**
I shall truly be God of the Underworld.
**[16:59] ---**
The folly committed by the gods...
**[17:03] ---**
shall be rectified.
**[17:11] ---**
*W-We can't win!
He's thinking on a whole different scale!*
**[17:15] ---**
*For thousands of years, he's thought of
the Surface World as nothing but a lid!*
**[17:20] ---**
*We're just...*
**[17:23] ---**
*We're just mere humans!
There's no way we can hope to win!*
**[17:29] ---**
You've finally given up.
**[17:32] ---**
That was more enjoyable than I expected.
**[17:35] ---**
You've done well,
Heroes of the Surface World.
**[17:38] ---**
I won't give up!
**[17:41] ---**
D-Dai?!
**[17:43] ---**
Even if everyone in the world does,
I won't give up!
**[17:49] ---**
I'll never give up!
**[17:52] ---**
What impressive vitality.
**[17:54] ---**
But what was that?
I don't think I heard you correctly.
**[18:00] ---**
I'll never give up.
Even if everyone loses hope!
**[18:06] ---**
I can't give up until the very, very end!
**[18:11] ---**
So I heard you correctly the first time.
**[18:14] ---**
I thought it inconceivable that you would
say such a thing when faced with my power.
**[18:19] ---**
I know just how overwhelming
your power is.
**[18:23] ---**
But that doesn't matter!
**[18:28] ---**
You said that power is justice,
but you're wrong!
**[18:33] ---**
That's not what Grampa taught me...
**[18:37] ---**
*Or what Master Avan taught me...*
**[18:39] ---**
*Or what Dad taught me about justice!*
**[18:43] ---**
You're wrong about everything!
**[18:49] ---**
Dai!
**[18:58] ---**
*They stand again?!
After they were on the verge of death?!*
**[19:03] ---**
Very well.
**[19:05] ---**
I recognize the power of your soul, which
gave your despairing friends strength.
**[19:12] ---**
But you can't kill me with your soul.
**[19:15] ---**
If you wish to change
my mind about justice,
**[19:18] ---**
then use your power and not your words.
**[19:21] ---**
Then here you go!
**[19:24] ---**
This is all of my power!
**[19:27] ---**
Kaiser Phoenix!
**[19:31] ---**
Avan Strash!
**[19:37] ---**
He pierced it!
**[19:40] ---**
Too slow!
**[19:44] ---**
Dai!
**[19:58] ---**
King Vearn!
**[20:00] ---**
*He was able to counter my second attack.*
**[20:03] ---**
*Not only that, his force overpowered
my Kaiser Phoenix and reached me.*
**[20:10] ---**
Very well!
**[20:14] ---**
Boom spells?!
**[20:36] ---**
Whoa! It's like a storm of Boom spells!
**[20:40] ---**
Vearn's using weaker spells
and fighting with numbers!
**[20:44] ---**
Even so, each spell is
as destructive as a Kaboom spell!
**[20:51] ---**
Dai!
**[20:58] ---**
King Vearn, perhaps you should
stop playing and let us all fight.
**[21:05] ---**
What? Ridiculous.
**[21:09] ---**
You actually believe that
he will wound me further?
**[21:16] ---**
Dai!
**[21:30] ---**
Now! Take this!
**[21:38] ---**
King Vearn!
**[22:07] ---**
*To be honest I was clumsy*
**[22:07] ---**
*omoeba boku wa bukiyou de*
**[22:12] ---**
*And it took me forever to get here*

the heavens and the earth.*
**[23:45] ---**

and unleashes a finishing blow.*

in the face of certain doom?*

THE UNLIKELY SAVIOR
**[01:50] ---**
Now! Take this!
**[01:57] ---**
King Vearn!
**[02:02] ---**
Yes! Dai actually pulled it off!
**[02:12] ---**
Now, Maam!
**[02:14] ---**
This is our chance to heal up!
**[02:18] ---**
The light of a Fullheal?!
**[02:19] ---**
Hurry! Right now!
**[02:32] ---**
*Legends say a phoenix is resurrected
from its ashes, but...*
**[02:40] ---**
That was more than I expected.
**[02:43] ---**
The Draconic Aura.
**[02:46] ---**
A terrifying ability
in both attack and defense.
**[02:52] ---**
I cannot win bare-handed.
**[02:56] ---**
I must use my own.
**[03:00] ---**
My precious legendary weapon.
**[03:07] ---**
The heavens are trembling.
**[03:09] ---**
Dark King Vearn is going to wield
the most terrible weapon at last.
**[03:14] ---**
How can you tell?
**[03:16] ---**
It's obvious...
**[03:19] ---**
because I made it.
**[03:29] ---**
That's...
**[03:33] ---**
This is my weapon, the Staff of Edacity.
**[03:39] ---**
*The Staff of Edacity?*
**[03:41] ---**
The outcome is decided.
**[03:43] ---**
Now that we both wield weapons
made by Lon Beruk,
**[03:48] ---**
our individual strength
will decide this fight.
**[03:51] ---**
Lon Beruk made it?!
**[03:54] ---**
You're lying!
**[03:56] ---**
The man is a Darkling.
**[03:59] ---**
Considering how difficult he can be,
**[04:01] ---**
the fact that he gave you humans weapons
is the more unlikely scenario.
**[04:07] ---**
Long ago, I presented him with several
weapons, like the Dark Armour Sword.
**[04:13] ---**
Vearn chose
the Staff of Edacity as his own.
**[04:18] ---**
What sort of weapon is it?
**[04:20] ---**
You've heard of a Somatic Staff, right?
**[04:23] ---**
Yes. It converts Magic Power
into its equivalent in attack power.
**[04:27] ---**
It functions on the same principle.
**[04:30] ---**
But, whereas a Somatic Staff is limited
in how much Magic Power it can convert,
**[04:36] ---**
the Staff of Edacity suffers
no such limitations.
**[04:39] ---**
When Dark King Vearn wields it
with his tremendous Magic Power,
**[04:44] ---**
it becomes the greatest and
most terribly destructive weapon.
**[04:52] ---**
Now observe...
**[04:54] ---**
his greatest masterpiece.
**[05:04] ---**
Drink! My Magic Power is yours!
**[05:29] ---**
Now... try it again.
**[06:36] ---**
It broke?!
**[06:37] ---**
The invincible Sword of Dai,
made from Orichalcum?!
**[06:45] ---**
You've lost your will to fight.
**[06:48] ---**
Hardly anyone has ever
fought me this long.
**[06:55] ---**
You can be proud...
**[06:57] ---**
in the afterlife.
**[07:00] ---**
Dai! What's wrong?! Get up! Move!
**[07:04] ---**
Get up! You have to get up!
**[07:07] ---**
I don't want to see you like this
before I die!
**[07:13] ---**
This is the last thing you will ever see!
**[07:17] ---**
Calamitous Wall!
**[07:22] ---**
Feel it for yourselves!
**[07:33] ---**
Hyunckel! Crocodine!
**[07:37] ---**
You're with me on this, Crocodine?
**[07:40] ---**
Yes! My life already belongs
to Dai and his friends!
**[07:45] ---**
You two!
**[07:46] ---**
You're not...!
**[07:47] ---**
Both of you, move!
**[07:50] ---**
Where we are doesn't matter!
**[07:52] ---**
If we're going to die,
we'd like to die here...
**[07:56] ---**
protecting you for one more second,
one more moment!
**[08:00] ---**
At least let us choose where we die!
**[08:04] ---**
But...!
**[08:18] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[08:19] ---**
Big Guy!
**[08:26] ---**
Dai!
**[08:29] ---**
It's futile. Futile.
**[08:33] ---**
Once let loose,
no one can stop the Calamitous Wall.
**[08:41] ---**
Maam...
**[08:43] ---**
I have a request.
**[08:44] ---**
Your hand...
**[08:47] ---**
Would you hold my hand
until the very last moment?
**[09:22] ---**
I-It can't be!
**[09:24] ---**
Him?!
**[09:26] ---**
He rescued us?!
**[09:41] ---**
This is a surprise.
**[09:43] ---**
Not just that you still live,
but that you sided with the Hero...
**[09:51] ---**
Hadlar.
**[09:53] ---**
I haven't sided with him.
**[09:56] ---**
I just didn't want anyone else
to kill Dai and his friends.
**[10:02] ---**
If Dai had perished...
**[10:04] ---**
it would have made my transformation
into a monster meaningless.
**[10:10] ---**
And I would have no reason to live.
**[10:13] ---**
Then fear not. For your death is imminent.
**[10:18] ---**
The Black Core has already
fused with your body.
**[10:23] ---**
Now that it's been removed,
you don't have long to live.
**[10:29] ---**
But the primary reason you will die...
**[10:33] ---**
is because I am going
to execute you here and now.
**[10:38] ---**
I may have been generous, giving you
chance after chance over the years,
**[10:45] ---**
but I'm not so forgiving as to smile
when my prey is stolen.
**[10:51] ---**
Therefore, you need not worry about
a reason for living.
**[11:05] ---**
We're finally free.
**[11:06] ---**
Lord Hadlar's presence...
**[11:09] ---**
is that way!
**[11:10] ---**
Okay!
**[11:15] ---**
Huh?!
**[11:16] ---**
Why are King Vearn and Lord Hadlar...?!
**[11:20] ---**
We must help Lord Hadlar!
**[11:22] ---**
You will not!
**[11:24] ---**
Dark Puppetry Aura Decimation Field!
**[11:31] ---**
Move and I pierce your Core.
**[11:34] ---**
*Those four...*
**[11:36] ---**
What's going on here, Mystvearn?!
**[11:39] ---**
Hadlar rescued Dai and his friends
from King Vearn and let them escape.
**[11:45] ---**
As such, he is going to be executed.
**[11:48] ---**
What?!
**[11:49] ---**
You will not intervene.
**[11:51] ---**
Witness the end of your master.
**[11:55] ---**
No!
**[11:56] ---**
Lord Hadlar!
**[12:00] ---**
*He's fast!*
**[12:01] ---**
Die, Hadlar!
**[12:04] ---**
*Dammit! Is everything going to end here?!*
**[12:09] ---**
*Without fighting the Disciples of Avan?!*
**[12:12] ---**
*Right here?!*
**[12:15] ---**
*Dammit!*
**[12:19] ---**
W-What?!
**[12:22] ---**
I'd rather not be killed by you twice.
**[12:27] ---**
If you want to take my life so much...
**[12:31] ---**
then I have no choice
but to defeat you here!
**[12:38] ---**
Don't underestimate me, Dark King!
**[12:51] ---**
ULTRA COMBUSTION SLASH
**[12:56] ---**
KAISER PHOENIX
**[13:04] ---**
*Impossible!*
**[13:06] ---**
*He repelled my attack?!*
**[13:09] ---**
*I gave him a body that would grow more
powerful each time he was resurrected.*
**[13:16] ---**
*But he couldn't be resurrected
without my Dark Aura.*
**[13:23] ---**
*Now that he has become a Superior Being,*
**[13:28] ---**
*I assumed that this power was lost!*
**[13:33] ---**
*But he brought himself back
from the brink of death.*
**[13:38] ---**
*And now it seems he may actually
be becoming strong enough to rival me!*
**[13:45] ---**
Stop, Hadlar!
**[13:47] ---**
Don't you care
what happens to your servants?
**[13:51] ---**
I don't.
**[13:53] ---**
Do what you will.
**[13:57] ---**
If I die, they die as well anyways.
**[14:02] ---**
The Hadlar Royal Guard stands united!
**[14:06] ---**
Our sole objective is to defeat
the Disciples of Avan!
**[14:12] ---**
None of my servants fear death
if it serves our purpose!
**[14:18] ---**
Oh wow.
**[14:20] ---**
That was well said, Lord Hadlar!
**[14:25] ---**
Vearn! You're the one dying today!
**[14:38] ---**
Do you really think you can defeat me
with a meager power increase?!
**[14:45] ---**
If it were just that,
I doubt I could defeat you.
**[14:48] ---**
But, in your current condition,
it's another story!
**[14:53] ---**
I assume that staff absorbs Magic Power
and converts it into attack power!
**[14:59] ---**
That means, simply holding it
drains your Magic Power continuously!
**[15:05] ---**
*I could break the Sword of Dai,
but not this Orichalcum blade...*
**[15:11] ---**
*I see now!*
**[15:12] ---**
*Fighting Dai and his friends
drained my Magic Power!*
**[15:20] ---**
It seems you've caught on!
**[15:23] ---**
With your Magic Power waning,
in a clash of might, I have the advantage!
**[15:34] ---**
No!
**[15:35] ---**
Watch it!
**[15:36] ---**
There's no telling what we'll do
if you release these bindings.
**[15:44] ---**
There you have it!
**[15:46] ---**
You can assume that the instant you move,
you'll be burned to a crisp...
**[15:52] ---**
Mister Reaper.
**[15:54] ---**
Hmph. Arrogant little doll.
**[16:10] ---**
Kaiser Phoenix!
**[16:25] ---**
Normally, this would reduce me to ashes.
**[16:29] ---**
It seems your Magic Power
really is weakening!
**[16:37] ---**
I won't miss this opportunity!
**[16:40] ---**
Your Ultra Combustion Slash?!
**[16:44] ---**
Prepare to die!
**[16:51] ---**
That's...!
**[16:55] ---**
Zaboera?!
**[16:57] ---**
You dare ignore your debt
for being made into a Superior Being?!
**[17:03] ---**
Don't bother.
**[17:04] ---**
This spell immobilizes me,
but binds you as well.
**[17:08] ---**
That little parasite!
**[17:10] ---**
Now's your chance, Dark King!
**[17:13] ---**
Well done, Zaboera.
**[17:16] ---**
Hold him right there.
**[17:19] ---**
My King!
**[17:23] ---**
Lord Hadlar!
**[17:25] ---**
And now the tables have turned.
**[17:29] ---**
Lord Hadlar!
**[17:37] ---**
Dammit!
**[17:41] ---**
Block?!
**[17:56] ---**
Where's Hadlar?!
**[18:00] ---**
W-What?!
**[18:04] ---**
Block!
**[18:08] ---**
Everyone...
**[18:10] ---**
Look after... Lord Hadlar...
**[18:18] ---**
Block!
**[18:32] ---**
You idiot!
**[18:34] ---**
What do you mean,
"Look after Lord Hadlar"?!
**[18:37] ---**
How can those be your first words?!
**[18:41] ---**
Block...
**[18:51] ---**
So they've escaped.
**[18:53] ---**
Who knew that rook had such an ability.
**[18:57] ---**
A rook...
**[18:59] ---**
I see.
**[19:01] ---**
A castling maneuver.
**[19:03] ---**
Castling?
**[19:05] ---**
In the game of chess,
**[19:07] ---**
there is a move where
the king and rook can be rearranged.
**[19:14] ---**
That warrior was born from a rook.
**[19:18] ---**
It's no surprise that
this piece would possess such an ability.
**[19:23] ---**
But I was just about to finish Hadlar.
**[19:28] ---**
If this were a game of chess...
**[19:32] ---**
castling after a check is cheating!
**[19:49] ---**
Dai?! Where's Dai?!
**[19:52] ---**
I thought he fell with us!
**[19:55] ---**
Could he still be...?!
**[20:05] ---**
Is that what Hyunckel talked about?!
**[20:08] ---**
The Holy Mother Dragon.
**[20:12] ---**
Ah. So that's what is said to appear
when a Dragon Knight's life is over.
**[20:21] ---**
This battle...
**[20:23] ---**
belongs to me!
**[20:31] ---**
Popp, look!
**[20:35] ---**
Dai?!
**[20:38] ---**
Wait!
**[20:39] ---**
Dai isn't dead yet!
**[20:41] ---**
Dai would never die!
**[20:45] ---**
Wait!
**[20:48] ---**
Don't take him away!
**[20:53] ---**
Look!
**[21:03] ---**
Their weapons?!
**[21:05] ---**
They returned not to their masters,
but to Sir Lon Beruk?
**[21:10] ---**
Could Dai and the others...?!
**[21:18] ---**
I doubt anyone else will come
to try to thwart my plans.
**[21:23] ---**
Even if the Mother Dragon
gives birth to a new Dragon Knight,
**[21:30] ---**
it will take decades
before it is fully grown.
**[21:35] ---**
Meanwhile, it will take less than ten days
for me to reduce the Surface World to ash.
**[21:42] ---**
We only need to be careful of
any desperate resistance from Hadlar.
**[21:49] ---**
Come, my subjects.
**[21:54] ---**
It's time to bring ruin to the world.
**[22:07] ---**
*To be honest I was clumsy*
**[22:07] ---**
*omoeba boku wa bukiyou de*
**[22:12] ---**
*And it took me forever to get here*
**[22:12] ---**

*Even if I cast aside
Rightness and kindness*
**[22:30] ---**
*tadashisa yasashisa nagedashite mo*
**[22:35] ---**
*I just want to be there for you*
**[22:35] ---**
*tada hitori kimi no mikata de itai*
**[22:41] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[22:41] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga*
**[22:47] ---**
*Is harder than any magic spell*
**[22:47] ---**
*ari to arayuru mahou yori muzukashikute*
**[22:53] ---**
*Even though you're so close to me*
**[22:53] ---**

**[22:59] ---**
*I love you*
**[22:59] ---**
*aishiteiru*
**[23:02] ---**
*I finally realized it*
**[23:02] ---**
*imasara kizuitanosa*
**[23:05] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[23:05] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu tame ni*
**[23:10] ---**
*Must be the reason I was born*
**[23:10] ---**
*boku wa kitto umarete kitannda*
**[23:16] ---**
*I shake off the clinging night*
**[23:16] ---**
*shigamitsuku yoru furihodoite*
**[23:22] ---**
*And go to see you*
**[23:22] ---**
*ai ni iku*
**[23:25] ---**
*Right now to where you are*
**[23:25] ---**
*ima sugu kimi no moto e*
**[23:34] ---**
*Defeated by Dark King Vearn,
our heroes escape thanks to Hadlar,*
**[23:39] ---**
*but are all separated.*
**[23:41] ---**
*Dai is suddenly taken away
by the Mother Dragon,*
**[23:44] ---**
*while Popp and Maam
wash up in Carl Kingdom.*
**[23:47] ---**
*As Popp prays for his friends' safety,*
**[23:49] ---**
*he learns that Vearn has begun
his attack on the world.*

THE SURVIVORS
**[01:50] ---**
TOWN OF POLTOS, ROMOS KINGDOM
**[01:56] ---**
What is that?!
**[01:58] ---**
Look!
**[02:02] ---**
-Everyone run!
-Run! Faster!
**[02:16] ---**
The town of Poltos!
**[02:22] ---**
Forgive my lack of manners,
but there is no time.
**[02:26] ---**
I bring news from Queen Flora
of Carl Kingdom.
**[02:37] ---**
Isn't this place a little too cold?
**[02:40] ---**
Don't blame me!
**[02:41] ---**
The Dark Army's been rampaging
all over the world!
**[02:44] ---**
Is that so?
**[02:46] ---**
Hey!
**[02:48] ---**
We caught some fish!
**[02:49] ---**
Nice!
**[02:55] ---**
What is that?
**[02:57] ---**
Bird bones?
**[03:04] ---**
Run!
**[03:12] ---**
Where the hell is the real Hero?!
**[03:23] ---**
Such impressive destructive ability.
**[03:26] ---**
King Vearn truly is great!
**[03:30] ---**
Ah, if it isn't my master,
Dark Commander Mystvearn.
**[03:36] ---**
Take a look at that crater.
**[03:39] ---**
I, Zaboera, am truly in awe of
King Vearn's power!
**[03:45] ---**
And he even granted me the position
of Dark Army Second-in-Command.
**[03:51] ---**
I'm glad I cut ties with
that fool Hadlar when I did.
**[03:58] ---**
Zaboera.
**[03:59] ---**
Yes?
**[04:00] ---**
When you converted Hadlar
into a Superior Being,
**[04:05] ---**
did you not notice the Black Core
implanted in him?
**[04:09] ---**
Oh, I noticed it. But I left it alone.
**[04:14] ---**
I figured he'd die
for King Vearn eventually anyway,
**[04:18] ---**
and so long as I wasn't
caught in the blast, it didn't matter.
**[04:28] ---**
Excuse me?
**[04:31] ---**
You filth!
**[04:32] ---**
You're not worthy to speak ill of Hadlar!
**[04:38] ---**
I recognize your part
in saving King Vearn,
**[04:41] ---**
but I will never trust gutter rats
who care only for their own success.
**[04:47] ---**
They always turn on their masters
when it suits their needs.
**[04:54] ---**
When you do,
I won't hesitate to kill you.
**[05:01] ---**
Hmph! Say whatever you will!
**[05:04] ---**
Strength is not about possessing power.
**[05:08] ---**
It's about being the last one standing.
**[05:13] ---**
I promise I'll find a way
to have the last laugh.
**[05:36] ---**
*I...*
**[05:38] ---**
*I made it.*
**[05:40] ---**
*Did I wash up here?*
**[05:46] ---**
*You swam all this way
while carrying me?*
**[05:49] ---**
*You never cease to amaze me.*
**[06:01] ---**
*An Ursa Major?!*
**[06:03] ---**
*Without my Magic Power this is bad!*
**[06:07] ---**
*But I have to protect her at all costs!*
**[06:13] ---**
Hey! Over here!
I'll take you down even if it kills me!
**[06:26] ---**
*What?!*
**[06:27] ---**
Oh! You found them, Troop Number Eight!
**[06:31] ---**
Sir Popp!
**[06:33] ---**
Miss Maam!
**[06:36] ---**
You morons. Don't scare me like that.
**[06:39] ---**
Hang in there!
We'll take you to the Forest Fort!
**[06:43] ---**
Good job finding them!
**[06:46] ---**
The Forest Fort?
**[06:48] ---**
We were rescued by the Order of Carl.
We're stationed there now.
**[06:52] ---**
The Order of Carl survived!
**[06:54] ---**
As well as Queen Flora!
**[06:56] ---**
Huh?!
**[07:00] ---**
*So it's been four days.*
**[07:02] ---**
The Dark Army has been using
their flying Dark Citadel
**[07:06] ---**
to drop bombs all over the world.
**[07:09] ---**
On one target every day.
**[07:11] ---**
At first, I wondered why
they weren't attacking capitals,
**[07:16] ---**
but after hearing your accounts,
now I know.
**[07:18] ---**
It doesn't matter where.
**[07:20] ---**
The Dark King wants to destroy
the Surface World, not invade it.
**[07:29] ---**
But at least you two made it back safely!
**[07:32] ---**
I'm sure Dai, Hyunckel,
and Crocodine also...
**[07:35] ---**
I sure hope so.
**[07:38] ---**
We saw it.
**[07:41] ---**
The legendary Holy Mother Dragon
took Dai away.
**[07:44] ---**
Hyunckel and Big Guy took a direct hit
from the Dark King's attack.
**[07:49] ---**
If Hadlar hadn't shown up,
me and Maam and Gome would be dead.
**[07:54] ---**
We got our butts kicked.
**[07:57] ---**
Seriously.
**[07:59] ---**
*It's no good.*
**[08:00] ---**
*Popp and Maam have both felt
the terror of the Dark King up close.*
**[08:05] ---**
*There's nothing we can say
to lift their spirits.*
**[08:11] ---**
I guess... there's nothing we can do
to stop them.
**[08:17] ---**
You mustn't say things like that.
**[08:24] ---**
You're both Disciples of Avan,
are you not?
**[08:29] ---**
Huh?
**[08:31] ---**
Queen Flora!
**[08:32] ---**
Huh?! Then this person is...
**[08:34] ---**
That's right. She escaped the fall
of Carl with a handful of knights
**[08:38] ---**
and has been waiting for a chance
to strike back at the Dark Army.
**[08:44] ---**
She brought us here to this fort.
**[08:48] ---**
Popp. Maam.
**[08:50] ---**
I heard what happened.
**[08:53] ---**
But if you really carry on
the will of Avan,
**[08:58] ---**
you mustn't voice such weakness.
**[09:01] ---**
Did you know Master Avan?
**[09:04] ---**
Avan was a member of our Order.
**[09:07] ---**
He risked his life to protect us
with the lead knight, Roka.
**[09:16] ---**
Yes. With your father.
**[09:24] ---**
Back when Hadlar led his forces
on an attack on our world...
**[09:31] ---**
my father fell ill.
**[09:32] ---**
As princess, I had to lead my army
to fight against him.
**[09:39] ---**
*To boost my subjects' morale,
I had to put on a strong face.*
**[09:45] ---**
*But I was unsure if we really could fight
the supernatural powers of the Dark Lord.*
**[09:52] ---**
*I was terrified.*
**[09:54] ---**
*It wasn't just me.
Everyone in the palace was scared.*
**[09:58] ---**
It's no good! There's no way
we can beat the Dark Lord!
**[10:02] ---**
At this point, we'll gain nothing
by scampering around.
**[10:07] ---**
*That's when Avan spoke up.*
**[10:09] ---**
Non, non, non!
**[10:11] ---**
What are you all talking about?
**[10:13] ---**
If we do nothing
then we really will gain nothing.
**[10:17] ---**
If all we can do is scamper around
then our course is clear.
**[10:21] ---**
My friends, let us scamper around!
**[10:44] ---**
*I broke out into laughter.*
**[10:47] ---**
*There, in front of everyone.*
**[10:49] ---**
*That's when I realized...*
**[10:51] ---**
*this man is a natural-born Hero
who can give everyone hope.*
**[10:59] ---**
That's why
whenever I find myself losing hope,
**[11:03] ---**
I dedicate myself to
scampering around as much as I can.
**[11:06] ---**
I still believe in what he said.
**[11:13] ---**
Um... Your Majesty...
**[11:19] ---**
Master Avan...
**[11:21] ---**
I know. He's dead, isn't he?
**[11:25] ---**
If he were alive somewhere...
**[11:28] ---**
he would never stand still
and let his home be ravaged as it has.
**[11:32] ---**
I know he would save us if he could.
**[11:37] ---**
*I get it. She...*
**[11:41] ---**
*She was in love with Master Avan.*
**[11:56] ---**
I would like... to scamper around!
**[12:00] ---**
Me too.
**[12:03] ---**
I know I can't be Master Avan.
**[12:06] ---**
Though incompetent, I am his student.
**[12:11] ---**
Thank you.
**[12:12] ---**
But now is not the time. Get some rest.
**[12:17] ---**
I have a plan of my own.
**[12:20] ---**
Recuperate your strength for now.
**[12:22] ---**
Understood?
**[12:26] ---**
She's a great woman.
**[12:28] ---**
There's something reassuring...
almost overpowering about her.
**[12:32] ---**
Isn't there?
**[12:33] ---**
I can see why
you respect her so much, Leona.
**[12:37] ---**
So she and Master Avan were together.
**[12:40] ---**
She's got a sort of
mature allure to her that...
**[12:45] ---**
You lech!
**[12:47] ---**
Princess Leona! Come to the command room!
**[12:49] ---**
The Dark Army is moving against Ringaia!
**[12:55] ---**
CASTLING
**[13:00] ---**
FULLHEAL
HEALING-TYPE SPELL
**[13:10] ---**
*How boring it is...*
**[13:12] ---**
for things go so smoothly.
**[13:16] ---**
I agree wholeheartedly!
**[13:18] ---**
I wouldn't be so sure.
**[13:24] ---**
An unfortunate card.
**[13:26] ---**
This card comes up every time.
**[13:30] ---**
You're saying those
who would resist me are still out there?
**[13:35] ---**
I'm not sure.
**[13:36] ---**
Whatever it means,
it's definitely trouble.
**[13:39] ---**
I've never been wrong with my cards.
**[13:44] ---**
Then let us draw them out.
**[13:46] ---**
That's why we have those two held captive.
**[13:50] ---**
TERAN KINGDOM
**[13:51] ---**
Your Majesty! Outside! Look in the sky!
**[13:56] ---**
The Holy Mother Dragon!
**[13:58] ---**
Here in Teran, where we worship
the God of Dragons,
**[14:01] ---**
the life of a Dragon Knight
is coming to an end right now.
**[14:07] ---**
Could it be the Hero?!
**[14:33] ---**
Where am I?
**[14:36] ---**
Did I... make it?
**[14:40] ---**
*No. You have died.*
**[14:45] ---**
Who's there?!
**[14:46] ---**
*I am the Holy Mother Dragon.*
**[14:50] ---**
*I preside over the life and death of
Dragon Knights as a servant of the gods.*
**[14:55] ---**
The Holy Mother Dragon?
**[14:57] ---**
I remember.
**[14:58] ---**
When a Dragon Knight dies,
to pass on the power of the Crest,
**[15:04] ---**
a legendary Dragon appears.
**[15:07] ---**
*You have taken an astral form
and have merged with me.*
**[15:13] ---**
*Soon your soul shall be led
to the world of the gods.*
**[15:18] ---**
Then...
**[15:20] ---**
a new Dragon Knight
is going to replace me?
**[15:26] ---**
*There will be no new Dragon Knight.*
**[15:30] ---**
*You are the last Knight.*
**[15:32] ---**
Huh?! W-Why?!
**[15:35] ---**
*The gods of humans, Darklings, and Dragons
created the Dragon Knights*
**[15:40] ---**
*to defeat any evil that would
tip the balance of the world.*
**[15:46] ---**
*But over a long, long time,
the power of such evil has grown.*
**[15:53] ---**
*Dark King Vearn possesses a power
greater than a god.*
**[16:00] ---**
*Even with a Dragon Knight's power,
evil can no longer be punished.*
**[16:06] ---**
*In fact, overcoming the Dragon Knights*
**[16:09] ---**
*may be what drove evil
to become so powerful.*
**[16:14] ---**
But...
**[16:16] ---**
*That is why I am ending
the history of the Dragon Knights.*
**[16:22] ---**
*I no longer have the power
to birth a new Knight anyway.*
**[16:26] ---**
*A dark force is bringing
my life to an end.*
**[16:33] ---**
Then there won't be anyone
who can stop Dark King Vearn?
**[16:42] ---**
*You can forget your trying battles now.*
**[16:46] ---**
*Your soul can return
to the heavens with me.*
**[16:58] ---**
*Something's wrong.*
**[17:00] ---**
*You have two souls.*
**[17:10] ---**
D...
**[17:13] ---**
Dad!
**[17:15] ---**
Mother Dragon.
**[17:17] ---**
I am the true last Knight, Baran.
**[17:21] ---**
This boy, Dai, was born between myself
and a human woman.
**[17:25] ---**
The death you sensed was mine.
**[17:29] ---**
*What?! That's not possible!*
**[17:31] ---**
This boy's life has not yet ended.
**[17:34] ---**
Please, I ask that you grant this boy
one more chance.
**[17:39] ---**
Dad...
**[17:40] ---**
*No one can defeat the Dark King,
no matter how powerful.*
**[17:44] ---**
*Even if I resurrect him,
he will only face a cruel hell again.*
**[17:50] ---**
I do not agree.
**[17:52] ---**
This boy has a power
no normal Dragon Knight has.
**[17:57] ---**
Something beyond power.
**[18:00] ---**
*But...*
**[18:01] ---**
Dragon Knights can only last
for one generation.
**[18:06] ---**
So how could a Dragon Knight sire a child?
**[18:09] ---**
The gods must have sensed the limits of
the Dragon Knights and gave us this hope.
**[18:16] ---**
In this world where power
rules over everything...
**[18:20] ---**
he can defeat evil with his soul.
**[18:23] ---**
Perhaps that is why the gods
allowed this boy to be born.
**[18:30] ---**
Please, Mother.
**[18:36] ---**
*Very well.*
**[18:38] ---**
*I shall grant the very last
of my power to Dai.*
**[18:47] ---**
Dai.
**[18:49] ---**
From now on, you will write
the history of the Dragon Knights,
**[18:54] ---**
raising a child with the woman you love.
**[18:56] ---**
And to do so, you must defeat Vearn.
**[19:00] ---**
I know you can do it.
**[19:03] ---**
I can't!
**[19:04] ---**
I'm...
**[19:06] ---**
I'm not that amazing!
**[19:09] ---**
I'm not strong like you are!
**[19:12] ---**
You are not alone.
**[19:14] ---**
You have your friends.
**[19:16] ---**
Dad!
**[19:17] ---**
And Soala and I...
**[19:20] ---**
*will always be with you.*
**[19:22] ---**
Wait! Don't go!
**[19:24] ---**
Dad!
**[19:46] ---**
Dad...
**[19:49] ---**
please don't go.
**[19:53] ---**
Fetch someone who can use Zoom!
**[19:55] ---**
Get him to Queen Flora!
**[19:57] ---**
My King!
**[20:10] ---**
Let's give them some space.
**[20:19] ---**
Thank goodness.
**[20:21] ---**
Thank you... for being alive.
**[20:29] ---**
Queen Flora.
**[20:31] ---**
Dai is asleep.
His wounds have been healed.
**[20:35] ---**
I see. That's a relief.
**[20:38] ---**
Truly good news.
**[20:40] ---**
But I'm afraid I have some very bad news.
**[20:44] ---**
Huh?!
**[20:45] ---**
A message from the Dark Army
was sent to countries across the world...
**[20:50] ---**
using a communication spell with mirrors.
**[20:53] ---**
This is the translated message.
**[20:56] ---**
"To the foolish humans of the world.
**[21:00] ---**
*In a few days, our Dark Army*
**[21:04] ---**
*shall vaporize this Surface World
where you dwell.*
**[21:10] ---**
*You have no way of stopping us.*
**[21:14] ---**
*Accept this as fate
and die with your world.*
**[21:19] ---**
*To celebrate this grand achievement,*
**[21:22] ---**
*the traitors who aided
the defeated Hero and his party,*
**[21:26] ---**
*Hyunckel the Dark Swordsman and
Beast King Crocodine, shall be executed.*
**[21:31] ---**
*Those interested may witness this
as a memory to take to the afterlife.*
**[21:36] ---**
They die at noon in two days,
**[21:39] ---**
in the northern mountains of Carl Kingdom.
**[21:42] ---**
That is all."
**[21:44] ---**
Executed?! The bastards!
**[21:47] ---**
So Hyunckel and Crocodine
are being held by the Dark Army.
**[21:52] ---**
We will have a meeting at once!
**[22:07] ---**
*To be honest I was clumsy*
**[22:07] ---**
*omoeba boku wa bukiyou de*
**[22:12] ---**
*And it took me forever to get here*
**[22:12] ---**
*shouganaikurai tomawarishita*
**[22:18] ---**
*I used even loneliness as a weapon*
**[22:18] ---**
*kodokukannsura mo buki ni shite*
**[22:24] ---**
*I searched the dungeon for a simple answer*
**[22:24] ---**
*tannjun na kotae wo sagashita dannjon*
**[22:30] ---**
*Even if I cast aside
Rightness and kindness*
**[22:30] ---**
*tadashisa yasashisa nagedashite mo*
**[22:35] ---**
*I just want to be there for you*
**[22:35] ---**
*tada hitori kimi no mikata de itai*
**[22:41] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[22:41] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga*
**[22:47] ---**
*Is harder than any magic spell*
**[22:47] ---**
*ari to arayuru mahou yori muzukashikute*
**[22:53] ---**
*Even though you're so close to me*
**[22:53] ---**

**[22:59] ---**
*I love you*
**[22:59] ---**
*aishiteiru*
**[23:02] ---**
*I finally realized it*
**[23:02] ---**
*imasara kizuitanosa*
**[23:05] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[23:05] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu tame ni*
**[23:10] ---**
*Must be the reason I was born*
**[23:10] ---**
*boku wa kitto umarete kitannda*
**[23:16] ---**
*I shake off the clinging night*
**[23:16] ---**
*shigamitsuku yoru furihodoite*
**[23:22] ---**
*And go to see you*
**[23:22] ---**
*ai ni iku*
**[23:25] ---**
*Right now to where you are*
**[23:25] ---**
*ima sugu kimi no moto e*
**[23:34] ---**
*The missing Hyunckel and Crocodine
are being held by the Dark Army.*
**[23:39] ---**
*And Dai has returned after
parting with his father, Baran.*
**[23:43] ---**
*While Dai's wounds have healed, memories
of his defeat by Vearn torment him.*
**[23:50] ---**
*Even so, Popp and the others
believe that Dai will stand once more.*
**[23:54] ---**
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,*
**[23:57] ---**
*"Dai and Popp"*
**[23:58] ---**
*The adventure continues!*

DAI AND POPP
**[01:53] ---**
I'd rather die than burden Dai
and the others.
**[01:58] ---**
Perhaps you're right.
**[02:00] ---**
My life belongs to them,
but if it will burden them...
**[02:06] ---**
*Please! Don't go!*
**[02:09] ---**
*Please stop walking gladly
into death's arms!*
**[02:16] ---**
You two will be executed
at noon in two days.
**[02:20] ---**
Sure! Just kill us already!
**[02:23] ---**
We'll choose death
over being used in some scheme!
**[02:30] ---**
But warriors of your caliber are valuable.
**[02:35] ---**
Especially you, Hyunckel.
**[02:41] ---**
Accept this Dark Aura and serve me.
**[02:46] ---**
Say he's wasting his time!
**[02:50] ---**
Let me think about it.
**[02:52] ---**
What?!
**[02:53] ---**
Very well.
**[02:56] ---**
Hyunckel! You bastard!
**[03:03] ---**
You'd sell your soul to Mystvearn
just to survive?!
**[03:09] ---**
I thought...
**[03:10] ---**
I thought you were a man
truly worthy of respect!
**[03:16] ---**
That you were my friend!
**[03:20] ---**
I never thought you'd betray us
at the 11th hour!
**[03:27] ---**
Crocodine.
**[03:29] ---**
If you consider me a friend...
**[03:31] ---**
I need you to trust me no matter what.
**[03:35] ---**
What?!
**[03:37] ---**
A proud death is fine.
**[03:39] ---**
But, I have this new feeling.
Until the final moment...
**[03:46] ---**
I want to cling to a chance at survival.
**[04:06] ---**
Begone.
**[04:18] ---**
I...
**[04:19] ---**
What...?
**[04:23] ---**
We have to rescue them!
**[04:25] ---**
Of course.
**[04:26] ---**
But this execution announcement
is clearly a trap.
**[04:30] ---**
Knowing that, we must be willing
to expend all of our forces.
**[04:36] ---**
I'll do anything!
The world is going to end otherwise!
**[04:42] ---**
We must rally our forces
under the Hero once more.
**[04:49] ---**
Yes! Once Dai's awake, let's have him
give a speech to everyone!
**[04:55] ---**
If he's willing to do that,
**[04:57] ---**
I'm sure everyone will
be happy to fight again!
**[05:01] ---**
Yes. Dai is everyone's Hero of hope!
**[05:05] ---**
-You're right.
-Yeah.
**[05:07] ---**
I know he'll give everyone courage!
**[05:10] ---**
*They all...*
**[05:12] ---**
*still want to make me keep fighting!*
**[05:15] ---**
I'll go check up on Dai!
**[05:19] ---**
Look, Gomechan.
**[05:21] ---**
Look how many members
the Beast King Commandos has now!
**[05:27] ---**
We even have ten members now!
**[05:42] ---**
Emergency! I can't find Dai anywhere!
**[05:45] ---**
What?!
**[05:53] ---**
*Why does everyone
expect me to do the impossible?*
**[06:01] ---**
*My power's not enough.*
**[06:05] ---**
*There's nothing I can do!*
**[06:09] ---**
Sir Hero!
**[06:11] ---**
Hero!
**[06:12] ---**
Sir Dai!
**[06:13] ---**
Where are you, Dai?!
**[06:15] ---**
I can't believe Dai ran away...
**[06:18] ---**
You can't blame him. He's still a child.
**[06:22] ---**
He lost his father in front of him,
along with his greatest weapon.
**[06:27] ---**
If that was on his mind,
why didn't he talk to us?
**[06:32] ---**
Because he doesn't understand
what tortures him.
**[06:36] ---**
Huh?
**[06:37] ---**
He didn't run out of fear of battle.
**[06:41] ---**
*He fears the weight of his title.
Of not knowing if he can live up to it.*
**[06:48] ---**
But, as cruel as it is, he's not
a true Hero if he can't overcome himself.
**[06:55] ---**
You're wrong!
**[06:57] ---**
He's a true Hero!
**[07:02] ---**
Hmm.
**[07:08] ---**
What the hell?
**[07:10] ---**
What's with you?
**[07:12] ---**
We might be finished.
**[07:15] ---**
I can't believe Dai would leave us.
**[07:23] ---**
Oh good grief.
**[07:25] ---**
First it's Dai, now we have
"The Uncharacteristic, Part Two."
**[07:29] ---**
I never expected to see you
all fragile and weepy.
**[07:34] ---**
You never know what life brings.
**[07:36] ---**
Stop joking around, idiot!
**[07:42] ---**
Don't worry.
**[07:44] ---**
There's nothing to worry about.
**[07:48] ---**
Just look at me!
**[07:49] ---**
The first guy to run from danger
is still standing here.
**[07:57] ---**
So it'll be okay.
**[07:58] ---**
With Hyunckel, Big Guy,
and of course with Dai.
**[08:03] ---**
Popp.
**[08:05] ---**
I'll take a look elsewhere.
**[08:12] ---**
Perhaps he used Zoom to go far away?
**[08:16] ---**
Zoom, huh?
**[08:28] ---**
*So I'm in Teran.*
**[08:31] ---**
God of Dragons!
**[08:33] ---**
Please! May the mighty Hero
defeat the Dark King!
**[08:41] ---**
Please! Mighty Hero!
**[08:44] ---**
*I'm sorry.*
**[08:45] ---**
*I'm so sorry.*
**[08:47] ---**
*I can't answer your prayers.*
**[08:50] ---**
*The servant of your god told me.*
**[08:53] ---**
*Dark King Vearn is stronger than a god.*
**[08:57] ---**
*There's no one who can touch him.*
**[09:08] ---**
What should I...
**[09:12] ---**
What should I do?
**[09:23] ---**
For now, I guess you can cry a little.
**[09:41] ---**
Popp.
**[09:43] ---**
I'll join you.
**[09:45] ---**
A moonlight walk could do you good.
**[09:51] ---**
AVAN STRASH
**[09:56] ---**
MEDROA
**[10:08] ---**
How did you know I was here?
**[10:13] ---**
Hey now, don't forget.
**[10:16] ---**
I've been with you since the very
beginning back on Dermline Island.
**[10:21] ---**
So there's no place
you can go that I can't.
**[10:25] ---**
Zoom spells are limited
to places you've been.
**[10:32] ---**
Besides, back when I was
getting used to using Zoom...
**[10:36] ---**
*I ended up in a place
important to me.*
**[10:39] ---**
*The Dark Forest where we first met Maam.*
**[10:45] ---**
So I figured the same thing would happen
if you flew off randomly.
**[10:52] ---**
This is the place where
you first met your father.
**[10:59] ---**
You're not mad?
**[11:00] ---**
Hm?
**[11:02] ---**
I...
**[11:05] ---**
I ran away!
**[11:07] ---**
When we all should be working together!
**[11:12] ---**
Even though I knew Hyunckel
and Crocodine are in danger!
**[11:17] ---**
I ran from the battle!
**[11:23] ---**
You're here to yell at me.
**[11:26] ---**
"You call yourself a Hero?"
**[11:28] ---**
"Coward."
**[11:32] ---**
Come on, dummy.
**[11:34] ---**
How can I criticize
someone else about that?
**[11:38] ---**
When it comes to running,
I'm way more experienced than you.
**[11:46] ---**
No one can blame you.
**[11:49] ---**
You fought as hard as you could.
**[11:52] ---**
You lost your father, and your weapon.
**[11:56] ---**
You did... the best you could.
**[12:00] ---**
My best isn't enough!
**[12:12] ---**
Even with this power,
I couldn't do anything to the Dark King!
**[12:19] ---**
I let my father die,
and I let everyone get hurt!
**[12:27] ---**
I used to think Heroes were so cool.
**[12:31] ---**
I just idolized them.
**[12:35] ---**
*But then I met Leona.
Then I met Master Avan.*
**[12:40] ---**
*And everyone called me a Hero.*
**[12:44] ---**
That's why I tried to become
as strong as I could for everyone!
**[12:50] ---**
But...
**[12:52] ---**
all my power wasn't nearly enough.
**[12:56] ---**
Not against Dark King Vearn!
**[13:00] ---**
And yet, they still think
I can do something.
**[13:05] ---**
They still believe I'm a real Hero.
**[13:10] ---**
I've had enough.
**[13:13] ---**
If they all continue to fight
believing in me...
**[13:17] ---**
they'll all end up like Dad...
**[13:21] ---**
All of them...
**[13:26] ---**
Okay then. I won't try to argue.
**[13:32] ---**
But, even if you won't come,
I'm going to fight the Dark King again.
**[13:37] ---**
Huh?!
**[13:39] ---**
You've always been strong.
**[13:42] ---**
But not me.
**[13:44] ---**
I was scared of strong guys
and always running around.
**[13:48] ---**
And here I am, picking a fight
with the God of the Underworld.
**[13:53] ---**
What a surprise.
**[13:55] ---**
Popp...
**[13:57] ---**
My battles have brought me this far.
**[14:00] ---**
Coming this far with you, Maam, Hyunckel,
and the others is my one point of pride.
**[14:07] ---**
If I quit here,
**[14:09] ---**
all my days of fighting, building up what
courage I have, will have been pointless.
**[14:17] ---**
Dai.
**[14:19] ---**
Until now, we've always fought
for someone else.
**[14:23] ---**
To avenge Master Avan.
To reclaim peace for our families.
**[14:29] ---**
Well that's not
our only reason to fight anymore.
**[14:34] ---**
It's not only for everyone else.
**[14:36] ---**
We have to keep fighting for ourselves.
**[14:41] ---**
For ourselves?
**[14:43] ---**
Yeah. This is our fight now!
**[14:49] ---**
*This is... our fight.*
**[14:52] ---**
You make up your own mind.
**[14:58] ---**
I'm going to fight.
**[15:00] ---**
Popp...
**[15:02] ---**
And I still believe.
**[15:06] ---**
I don't care if you're
a real Hero or not.
**[15:09] ---**
I believe because you're Dai!
**[15:13] ---**
So what about a Hero?!
Who cares about a Dragon Knight?!
**[15:20] ---**
For me...
**[15:23] ---**
you'll always be Dai!
**[15:32] ---**
*What should I do?*
**[15:35] ---**
*Why bother asking...*
**[15:37] ---**
*when I've already decided?*
**[15:55] ---**
Nah, I couldn't find anything.
**[15:57] ---**
Popp, couldn't you find Dai?
**[16:02] ---**
Quiet please.
**[16:06] ---**
The stage is yours.
**[16:22] ---**
I had to go cool my head.
**[16:25] ---**
Sorry to worry all of you.
**[16:29] ---**
Everyone, Dark King Vearn is powerful.
**[16:33] ---**
The Holy Mother Dragon said
he's stronger than a god.
**[16:37] ---**
I can't say that if we fight him
we're going to win.
**[16:43] ---**
I'm weaker than Vearn.
**[16:45] ---**
I have no special weapon.
**[16:47] ---**
But I can't just sit back and let him
trample the world by force!
**[16:55] ---**
If there's one thing
I have stronger than anyone...
**[16:59] ---**
it's this belief!
**[17:03] ---**
So, if you will accept me...
**[17:06] ---**
please lend me your strength!
**[17:13] ---**
Dai!
**[17:21] ---**
Hey.
**[17:23] ---**
Took you long enough.
**[17:28] ---**
Sorry.
**[17:39] ---**
Tomorrow at noon, we move to rescue
Hyunckel and Crocodine.
**[17:43] ---**
We'll be heading into a trap,
so we must be prepared.
**[17:48] ---**
For that, we must obtain
the Great Purification Spell, Kaglimmer.
**[17:54] ---**
Kaglimmer?
**[17:56] ---**
It's greater than Avan's Glimmer spell.
It can seal the Magic Power of Darklings.
**[18:04] ---**
You said Vearn Palace
has a protective field.
**[18:07] ---**
Yeah. It keeps us from
using Zoom spells to get in.
**[18:12] ---**
If Kaglimmer works, it will erase
Vearn Palace's field,
**[18:16] ---**
allowing entry with a Zoom spell.
**[18:18] ---**
Oh wow!
**[18:20] ---**
But this is a spell
not even Avan could attain.
**[18:25] ---**
If Master Avan couldn't cast it, who...?
**[18:28] ---**
The fifth Disciple of Avan.
**[18:30] ---**
Hold it!
**[18:34] ---**
Uh, sorry!
**[18:35] ---**
But the Disciples of Avan receive
the Insignia of Avan from Master Avan.
**[18:42] ---**
There's only four of us!
**[18:52] ---**
It's the same! It's an insignia of Avan!
**[18:56] ---**
Huh?! Then the fifth Disciple...
**[18:59] ---**
These are made by polishing
a rare stone called Mysticite,
**[19:03] ---**
and concentrating it with magic.
**[19:06] ---**
These are heirlooms of Avan's family.
**[19:08] ---**
Only he knows how to make them.
**[19:11] ---**
These have the power to magnify holy power
and repel dark power.
**[19:17] ---**
They work as charms.
**[19:20] ---**
Wait... then...
**[19:22] ---**
All this time...?!
**[19:24] ---**
Yes.
**[19:25] ---**
These Insignias have protected you
through all your battles.
**[19:31] ---**
*I never knew.*
**[19:34] ---**
*I never even considered it.*
**[19:38] ---**
*Master Avan... Master Avan was always...*
**[19:42] ---**
*He was watching over us.*
**[19:46] ---**
I always assumed we made it this far
through our own strength, but...
**[19:54] ---**
Without these Insignias of Avan,
**[19:56] ---**
we may have lost some battles by a hair.
**[20:00] ---**
Master Avan has always been
lending his strength...
**[20:04] ---**
to us.
**[20:09] ---**
*Avan gave me this as a charm.*
**[20:14] ---**
*Afterwards, he came up with the idea to
give them to his students upon graduation.*
**[20:23] ---**
Princess Leona.
**[20:24] ---**
Uh, yes?!
**[20:26] ---**
I would like you to be
the fifth Disciple of Avan.
**[20:31] ---**
Me?!
**[20:32] ---**
I believe Avan would have chosen you.
**[20:36] ---**
And I believe that you
can attain Kaglimmer.
**[20:41] ---**
However, it will require
you to pass a severe test.
**[20:45] ---**
Huh?! Leona!
**[20:47] ---**
Will you accept this, Princess Leona?
**[20:53] ---**
Yes.
**[20:54] ---**
Leona! This is crazy!
**[20:57] ---**
Dai, I'm going to do this.
**[21:00] ---**
To be honest, until now...
**[21:05] ---**
I've always been frustrated that
I couldn't share your pain.
**[21:11] ---**
I should fight like Popp and Maam.
**[21:15] ---**
I accept it!
No matter what test awaits!
**[21:19] ---**
That way, I will truly be
a member of your party.
**[21:24] ---**
That's what I believe.
**[21:33] ---**
The test will be to brave
the Cave of Trials.
**[21:38] ---**
It's a labyrinth teeming with monsters.
**[21:41] ---**
Only there can you bind with
the Kaglimmer spell.
**[21:45] ---**
Yes.
**[21:46] ---**
But can I become a Disciple of Avan
without his teachings?
**[21:53] ---**
Shall I tell you a little bit about Avan?
**[21:58] ---**
Yes please.
**[22:07] ---**
*To be honest I was clumsy*
**[22:07] ---**
*omoeba boku wa bukiyou de*
**[22:12] ---**
*And it took me forever to get here*
**[22:12] ---**
*shouganaikurai tomawarishita*
**[22:18] ---**
*I used even loneliness as a weapon*
**[22:18] ---**
*kodokukannsura mo buki ni shite*
**[22:24] ---**
*I searched the dungeon for a simple answer*
**[22:24] ---**
*tannjun na kotae wo sagashita dannjon*
**[22:29] ---**
*Even if I cast aside
Rightness and kindness*
**[22:29] ---**
*tadashisa yasashisa nagedashite mo*
**[22:35] ---**
*I just want to be there for you*
**[22:35] ---**
*tada hitori kimi no mikata de itai*
**[22:41] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[22:41] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga*
**[22:47] ---**
*Is harder than any magic spell*
**[22:47] ---**
*ari to arayuru mahou yori muzukashikute*
**[22:53] ---**
*Even though you're so close to me*
**[22:53] ---**
*konnani mo chikaku ni itanoni*
**[22:59] ---**
*I love you*
**[22:59] ---**
*aishiteiru*
**[23:02] ---**
*I finally realized it*
**[23:02] ---**
*imasara kizuitanosa*
**[23:05] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[23:05] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu tame ni*
**[23:10] ---**
*Must be the reason I was born*
**[23:10] ---**
*boku wa kitto umarete kitannda*
**[23:16] ---**
*I shake off the clinging night*
**[23:16] ---**
*shigamitsuku yoru furihodoite*
**[23:22] ---**
*And go to see you*
**[23:22] ---**
*ai ni iku*
**[23:25] ---**
*Right now to where you are*
**[23:25] ---**
*ima sugu kimi no moto e*

*When the Dark Lord Hadlar
invaded the world,*
**[23:36] ---**

fearlessly faced his Dark Army.*

*Avan guarded Carl Kingdom
with his captain, Roka.*
**[23:45] ---**

his destiny was set in motion.*

AVAN, THE HERO
**[01:52] ---**
*This is a story of Avan, the Hero...*
**[01:56] ---**
*from the days of his youth
as a member of the Order of Carl.*
**[02:06] ---**
The time has come!
**[02:09] ---**
It is time to grasp the world
in my hands!
**[02:17] ---**
Go forth, my monsters!
**[02:20] ---**
Burn their towns! Wreck their countries!
**[02:23] ---**
Wipe out the pathetic humans!
**[02:29] ---**
*Against the mighty Dark Lord Hadlar
and his monster legion...*
**[02:33] ---**
*the humans could do nothing
but tremble in fear.*
**[02:39] ---**
*But one kingdom stood resolute
in the face of the Dark Army's invasion.*
**[02:46] ---**
*Under their new lead knight, Roka...*
**[02:50] ---**
*the elite Order of Carl faced
the Dark Army as an unparalleled force.*
**[02:58] ---**
Curse you, Carl Kingdom!
**[03:06] ---**
Oh!
**[03:09] ---**
It's Princess Flora!
**[03:13] ---**
Everyone, hear me!
**[03:17] ---**
No matter how much the Dark Army
tramples our world and burns our towns,
**[03:22] ---**
there is nothing to fear!
**[03:25] ---**
The Dark Lord is the one who fears!
**[03:29] ---**
For we humans have the power to unite!
**[03:33] ---**
That is why I will join in the fight!
**[03:38] ---**
Together with our proud Order of Carl!
**[03:41] ---**
The Princess is so brave!
**[03:43] ---**
We'll fight, too!
**[03:46] ---**
*In place of its bedridden king,
Princess Flora led Carl Kingdom.*
**[03:53] ---**
*With her beauty and courage,*
**[03:56] ---**
*Flora was a goddess of hope
to the world.*
**[04:06] ---**
Well spoken, Princess.
**[04:09] ---**
I'm merely doing my job.
**[04:12] ---**
It's you who should be praised.
**[04:14] ---**
Along with the Order.
**[04:16] ---**
Speaking of the Order,
I see he's missing again.
**[04:20] ---**
Avan!
**[04:23] ---**
I see Avan is his usual self.
**[04:26] ---**
I will go fetch him!
**[04:28] ---**
How dare he skip out on
the Princess's public appearance!
**[04:32] ---**
It's okay, Roka!
**[04:35] ---**
No it's not! I'll go discipline him!
**[04:38] ---**
I know exactly where he is!
**[04:43] ---**
Hmm. Something's missing.
**[04:46] ---**
This soup is no good.
**[04:48] ---**
Oh no! But I made it for you, Sir Avan!
**[04:53] ---**
The problem is in the flavoring.
**[04:56] ---**
If you grind a Feverfew stem
and mix it in, it should come together.
**[05:03] ---**
The Feverfew is good for illness
and injuries, plus it's quite nutritious.
**[05:09] ---**
For our secret flavor,
we add a pinch of Seeds of Agility.
**[05:15] ---**
You know so much, Sir Avan!
**[05:18] ---**
Could you taste my soup next time?
**[05:21] ---**
Avan!
**[05:22] ---**
Oh my, Roka. Can I help you?
**[05:25] ---**
Stop playing innocent!
**[05:27] ---**
You're just in time.
Some bread with this soup is...
**[05:31] ---**
Come on!
**[05:34] ---**
No! Sir Avan!
**[05:39] ---**
Honestly, what is with you?!
**[05:42] ---**
You skipped guard duty
for a cooking class?!
**[05:46] ---**
I apologize for that.
**[05:48] ---**
But as the strongest in the Order,
you're enough of a bodyguard.
**[05:55] ---**
Improving the food that everyone eats
**[05:58] ---**
is a much better way for me
to serve the country.
**[06:08] ---**
You're my friend, but I have no idea
why you were chosen for the Order of Carl.
**[06:13] ---**
Probably because I study.
**[06:15] ---**
The Zinuar family comes from
a long line of scholars.
**[06:20] ---**
Listen up! We're in the age of war now!
**[06:24] ---**
There's no telling when the Dark Lord
will target our country!
**[06:29] ---**
You're quite right.
**[06:31] ---**
There's no point in just studying
and being fawned over by girls!
**[06:36] ---**
You have to practice your sword skills!
**[06:38] ---**
Yes that's important, but surely
you intend to have a family someday.
**[06:43] ---**
You might have an adorable child
who takes after you.
**[06:47] ---**
If you don't at least know how to cook...
**[06:51] ---**
Hah! I'm devoting my life to the sword!
I don't need a family!
**[06:55] ---**
Are you sure about that?
**[06:58] ---**
You'll regret it.
**[07:00] ---**
If I ever get married,
I'll run across the entire country naked!
**[07:08] ---**
Listen, at least practice
so you can defend yourself!
**[07:13] ---**
Your stance may need work,
but you can at least practice swinging!
**[07:20] ---**
I understand, Roka.
**[07:23] ---**
As you said...
**[07:27] ---**
a war is coming.
**[07:31] ---**
What's wrong, Princess?!
**[07:34] ---**
What is this?!
**[07:35] ---**
Blood writing just appeared!
**[07:37] ---**
What language is this?!
**[07:39] ---**
It's the Darkling Language.
**[07:42] ---**
It's a communication spell
sent through mirrors.
**[07:46] ---**
The writing says this...
**[07:49] ---**
"Tonight, I shall come
to claim the Princess...
**[07:52] ---**
as a sacrifice to
the God of the Underworld.
**[07:56] ---**
The Dark Lord."
**[07:57] ---**
What?!
**[07:58] ---**
The Dark Lord wants the Princess?!
**[07:59] ---**
This is an emergency! Increase our security!
**[08:01] ---**
Avan...
**[08:08] ---**
Captain Roka, castle security
is on high alert!
**[08:12] ---**
Good!
**[08:13] ---**
Okay, Dark Lord! Come if you dare!
**[08:17] ---**
Roka, where is Avan?
**[08:20] ---**
Avan?
**[08:21] ---**
He said he had important business
and went off into the woods.
**[08:26] ---**
*The woods?*
**[08:28] ---**
There's nothing more important
than your safety!
**[08:32] ---**
I promise we'll protect you
even without that coward!
**[08:37] ---**
You have nothing to fear!
**[08:40] ---**
*Damn you, stupid Avan!*
**[08:43] ---**
*You may not be strong,
but I never thought you'd run away!*
**[08:47] ---**
*As of today, you and I are through!*
**[08:57] ---**
Look at that!
**[09:01] ---**
What is that light?!
**[09:08] ---**
It's the Dark Lord!
**[09:10] ---**
Everyone at the ready!
**[09:14] ---**
You filth.
**[09:15] ---**
I summon you, my monsters!
**[09:17] ---**
Gush!
**[09:19] ---**
Thrash the humans!
**[09:36] ---**
Captain! Monsters are attacking!
**[09:38] ---**
What?! Where did they come from?!
**[09:49] ---**
Dammit!
**[09:56] ---**
Damn! He's so powerful!
**[09:59] ---**
Princess Flora.
**[10:02] ---**
I have come to claim you!
**[10:06] ---**
Behold! The Dark Lord himself!
**[10:10] ---**
Dark Lord, I know what you're up to!
**[10:14] ---**
A sacrifice to the God of the Underworld
is just a cover story!
**[10:19] ---**
Oh?
**[10:20] ---**
By stealing me away through any means...
**[10:24] ---**
you intend to demoralize my people
and hasten your domination of the world!
**[10:31] ---**
Very sharp!
**[10:32] ---**
You're young, but you're still a ruler.
**[10:35] ---**
This will save me a lot of trouble.
**[10:39] ---**
Now kneel before me!
**[10:42] ---**
I refuse!
**[10:48] ---**
If you'd like I can kill you right here!
**[10:57] ---**
Princess!
**[10:59] ---**
Will it be submission or death?
**[11:02] ---**
Which do you prefer?
**[11:06] ---**
Come! Make your choice!
**[11:10] ---**
That's no good.
**[11:18] ---**
Avan!
**[11:20] ---**
Avan!
**[11:25] ---**
SIZZLE
HEAT-TYPE SPELL
**[11:30] ---**
KABOOM
EXTREME-EXPLOSION SPELL
**[11:34] ---**
If you'd like I can kill you right here!
**[11:40] ---**
Princess!
**[11:41] ---**
Will it be submission or death?
**[11:44] ---**
Which do you prefer?
**[11:48] ---**
Come! Make your choice!
**[11:52] ---**
That's no good.
**[12:00] ---**
Avan!
**[12:02] ---**
Who are you?
**[12:04] ---**
Mister Dark Lord.
**[12:06] ---**
You need to be more gentle
when trying to seduce a lady.
**[12:13] ---**
Save me your nonsense!
**[12:26] ---**
Hmm. This Magic Bullet Gun
needs more work.
**[12:37] ---**
What wrong?!
**[12:39] ---**
What have you done?!
**[12:42] ---**
Oh, I just sprinkled it with
a little Coagulant.
**[12:47] ---**
Coagulant?
**[12:49] ---**
It's a little secret compound I cooked up.
**[12:53] ---**
Monsters sprinkled with it
lose their minds and attack each other.
**[13:00] ---**
The monsters outside
are fighting each other!
**[13:03] ---**
I sprinkled some on the ones outside, too.
**[13:07] ---**
And now your trusty monster legion
has been rendered useless.
**[13:14] ---**
*I see! He went to the forest
to find Poison Moths!*
**[13:18] ---**
*Not bad, you trickster!*
**[13:29] ---**
You worm! You dare humiliate me
with your conniving trickery?!
**[13:35] ---**
You'll pay for that!
**[13:37] ---**
I'll pay for that?
**[13:42] ---**
*What?*
**[13:44] ---**
*I sense from this frail man... Aura?!*
**[13:48] ---**
You're the one
who's going to pay, Dark Lord!
**[13:56] ---**
*I've seen that before!*
**[13:58] ---**
*That expression on Avan's face!*
**[14:01] ---**
*It was three years ago.*
**[14:04] ---**
*In my youthful lust for adventure
I snuck out of the castle alone.*
**[14:30] ---**
*Avan was the one who rescued me when
I was attacked by a monster in the forest.*
**[14:40] ---**
*I told him who I was
and recommended him to the Order.*
**[14:47] ---**
*And yet, once he joined,
he began wearing those dud glasses...*
**[14:52] ---**
*and acted as though
he couldn't fight at all.*
**[14:57] ---**
*It was like he was suppressing
his immense power.*
**[15:02] ---**
*But I could tell.*
**[15:04] ---**
*He acted that way because
he didn't want to show off.*
**[15:11] ---**
I'm sorry, Princess.
But I'm still a member of the Order.
**[15:16] ---**
Should the need arise, I shall use all my
power to protect you and Carl Kingdom.
**[15:20] ---**
But until that time comes...
**[15:23] ---**
I understand.
**[15:24] ---**
I will keep what I know
about you a secret.
**[15:31] ---**
*You're saying the time has come, Avan?!*
**[15:38] ---**
You fool! You're not
picking a fight with me, are you?
**[15:44] ---**
I don't want to fight.
**[15:46] ---**
However...
**[15:47] ---**
I can't sit by and watch someone
hurt others for their own ambitions.
**[15:56] ---**
Don't assume I'm that naive!
**[16:02] ---**
Enough from you!
**[16:03] ---**
Frizzle!
**[16:06] ---**
What?!
**[16:08] ---**
He can use spells?!
**[16:11] ---**
Sizzle!
**[16:14] ---**
*For a human,
he uses highly advanced magic!*
**[16:21] ---**
Wow! I never knew Avan was that strong!
**[16:24] ---**
You can do it, Avan!
**[16:30] ---**
What?!
**[16:43] ---**
It's over! Kafrizz!
**[16:50] ---**
Not a bad show.
But you're still just a human!
**[16:55] ---**
Compared to my magic,
yours is a trivial thing!
**[17:02] ---**
*He can even use Kaboom?!*
**[17:05] ---**
*No! If I dodge, he'll hit the Princess!*
**[17:17] ---**
Fool! You'd choose your own death?!
**[17:28] ---**
In that case... Die!
**[17:43] ---**
You filth!
**[17:49] ---**
Roka!
**[17:51] ---**
I got him good.
**[17:53] ---**
He can't cast that spell now, can he?
**[17:59] ---**
Very well! A Boom spell will suffice!
**[18:03] ---**
I'll reduce you all to ash!
**[18:06] ---**
You dare...
**[18:08] ---**
You dare hurt my friend!
**[18:10] ---**
You'll pay for that!
**[18:12] ---**
Boom!
**[18:20] ---**
What is this blinding light?!
**[18:33] ---**
He did it!
**[18:34] ---**
Avan defeated the Dark Lord!
**[18:39] ---**
Good going!
**[18:43] ---**
No. The Dark Lord still lives.
**[18:48] ---**
If he was really dead...
**[18:52] ---**
that arm would crumble to ash.
**[18:56] ---**
It's proof he's still alive.
**[19:00] ---**
*Very observant!*
**[19:03] ---**
*I suppose I will retreat for now.*
**[19:08] ---**
*But you won't defeat me
with that paltry power! Ever!*
**[19:20] ---**
*He's right.*
**[19:22] ---**
*With my current power
I can't defeat the Dark Lord.*
**[19:36] ---**
So you're leaving, Avan?
**[19:39] ---**
This is your symbol of peace.
**[19:43] ---**
Until the day you defeat the Dark Lord
and save the world...
**[19:48] ---**
I shall hold on to this.
**[19:51] ---**
I'll try to hurry back.
**[19:55] ---**
Take this as well.
**[19:57] ---**
It's the Amulet of Carl
which is passed down in the royal family.
**[20:01] ---**
I'm sure it will help you someday.
**[20:05] ---**
Well then.
**[20:06] ---**
Please accept this.
**[20:09] ---**
It's Mysticite that has been made
using a Zinuar family secret process.
**[20:15] ---**
I'm the only one left who can make these.
**[20:20] ---**
You'd give me something so valuable?
Are you sure?
**[20:26] ---**
Consider it a trade.
**[20:36] ---**
Roka!
**[20:37] ---**
I'm coming with you, Avan!
**[20:39] ---**
I need to pay the Dark Lord back
for what he did!
**[20:44] ---**
You can't! Without the captain of
its Order, who will protect Carl Kingdom?
**[20:51] ---**
It's fine! We can leave it to
the ones that I've trained.
**[20:55] ---**
Besides, we can't do much
just defending ourselves.
**[20:59] ---**
We need to go on the offensive!
**[21:01] ---**
The best defense is a good offense!
**[21:04] ---**
But there's no guarantee that we can win.
**[21:08] ---**
We're facing the Dark Lord.
**[21:11] ---**
I saw hope in
that blade of light of yours.
**[21:15] ---**
But that was by accident!
**[21:18] ---**
Coincidental or still incomplete,
it still drove the Dark Lord back!
**[21:24] ---**
I believe in that light!
**[21:38] ---**
*After much intense training,
that blinding strike...*
**[21:43] ---**
*was completed to become the Avan Strash.*
**[21:53] ---**
Avan...
**[21:55] ---**
Strash!
**[22:07] ---**
*To be honest I was clumsy*
**[22:07] ---**
*omoeba boku wa bukiyou de*
**[22:12] ---**
*And it took me forever to get here*

THE CAVE OF TRIALS
**[01:51] ---**
*The Cave of Trials was created by
the God of Humans.*
**[01:55] ---**
*It's a place that contains
all magic that counters evil power.*
**[02:01] ---**
Queen Flora built this fort believing
we would eventually need to use the Cave.
**[02:08] ---**
Why are there monsters
in a cave of a God?
**[02:12] ---**
According to this Ancient Tome
King Teran sent us...
**[02:16] ---**
the gods did not approve of people
having more power than they deserved.
**[02:24] ---**
*How far is unknown,
but the labyrinth extends underground.*
**[02:28] ---**
*Deeper levels hold spells
of greater power.*
**[02:31] ---**
*But the paths become
more complex with more traps...*
**[02:36] ---**
*and even more powerful monsters
await down there.*
**[02:40] ---**
It's not a place for the inexperienced.
**[02:45] ---**
But we need to brave it
to obtain Kaglimmer.
**[02:49] ---**
Huh. Who knew Carl Kingdom
had such a place.
**[02:55] ---**
Ah. So this is Kaglimmer.
**[02:58] ---**
*"By casting in a group,
Kaglimmer increases in power.*
**[03:02] ---**
*Use Mysticite and stand in
a pentagon arrangement*
**[03:07] ---**
*to achieve maximum spell effect."*
**[03:11] ---**
I guess that's why you need
five Disciples of Avan.
**[03:14] ---**
Even so, I'm against this.
**[03:17] ---**
Leona's not a warrior.
She's just a normal girl.
**[03:21] ---**
And she's Papnica's princess.
**[03:24] ---**
She doesn't need to take such a risk.
**[03:27] ---**
She could let someone else...
**[03:29] ---**
Dai! That's insulting to the Princess!
**[03:32] ---**
Women can risk their lives
to fight for what they believe in, too!
**[03:41] ---**
Miss Amy...
**[03:42] ---**
Dai doesn't want
Leona involved in this fight.
**[03:45] ---**
Huh?
**[03:46] ---**
If Leona becomes a Disciple of Avan...
**[03:49] ---**
that means she'll have to face
that terrifying Dark King Vearn.
**[03:55] ---**
Yeah. That's a little overwhelming.
**[03:59] ---**
We'd rather not face him again
if we had the choice.
**[04:03] ---**
I see.
**[04:05] ---**
I'm sorry, Dai.
**[04:07] ---**
But try to understand that
the Princess wants to be with you all.
**[04:14] ---**
Speaking of which...
**[04:16] ---**
there's already a girl
who's fighting the Dark King, Dai!
**[04:23] ---**
He means you're the exception.
**[04:34] ---**
L-Leona!
**[04:40] ---**
S-Such thin fabric!
**[04:44] ---**
This is a Robe of Carl.
It has the benefit of repelling Malice.
**[04:50] ---**
We will need a couple of guards.
**[04:52] ---**
P-Please wait!
**[04:54] ---**
Please take me with you!
**[04:57] ---**
My clairvoyance will help
to navigate the labyrinth!
**[05:02] ---**
I want to help you all!
**[05:06] ---**
Please!
**[05:10] ---**
Very well. That makes one.
**[05:13] ---**
Thank you!
**[05:15] ---**
We need one more.
**[05:16] ---**
I'll--
**[05:18] ---**
Right here! I, Popp, will protect you!
**[05:22] ---**
Popp...
**[05:24] ---**
It will be a terrifying, massive cave!
**[05:27] ---**
It would be dangerous with just women.
**[05:44] ---**
That look on your face
is much more dangerous!
**[05:48] ---**
I'll go for protection.
**[05:50] ---**
Sound good. We've never
fought together before either.
**[05:55] ---**
Then that makes our party.
**[05:58] ---**
You will need to
change into the Robes as well.
**[06:01] ---**
Oh man!
**[06:02] ---**
I'll be going, Dai.
**[06:05] ---**
Leona...
**[06:07] ---**
Hey! You don't trust me!
**[06:10] ---**
I can do what I set my mind to!
**[06:14] ---**
Haven't I always...
**[06:16] ---**
since we met?
**[06:23] ---**
Huh? What?
**[06:25] ---**
I was just remembering when we met.
**[06:27] ---**
Oh come on!
**[06:29] ---**
Dai?!
**[06:30] ---**
I'm off to train while you're away!
**[06:35] ---**
I'll protect you against the Dark King!
**[06:42] ---**
Okay! Let's all check our weapons
and equipment!
**[06:46] ---**
Yeah!
**[06:49] ---**
-Nova.
-Yes?
**[06:51] ---**
I have a favor to ask.
**[06:54] ---**
Maam, aren't you
a little too strict on Popp?
**[06:58] ---**
Popp?
**[07:00] ---**
He doesn't understand the danger we're in.
The world could end!
**[07:06] ---**
Kaglimmer will be most effective
when the five of you form a pentagon.
**[07:13] ---**
I'm sure it will be strong enough
to stop Vearn Palace.
**[07:18] ---**
But why does it have to be
five Disciples of Avan?
**[07:22] ---**
All I can use are Heal-type spells.
**[07:27] ---**
Maam, hold your Insignia of Avan.
**[07:31] ---**
Think of the people
you're worried about the most.
**[07:36] ---**
Huh?
**[07:44] ---**
*Hyunckel...*
**[07:45] ---**
*Crocodine...*
**[07:53] ---**
Oh!
**[07:55] ---**
Th-The Insignia is glowing red!
**[08:00] ---**
That is the color of
the power of your soul.
**[08:03] ---**
The power of my soul?
**[08:05] ---**
The Great Purification Spell
requires more than Magic Power.
**[08:10] ---**
It requires the will of people
who seek to defeat evil.
**[08:15] ---**
Mysticite can sense that will
and amplify it.
**[08:20] ---**
That glow is proof of that.
**[08:23] ---**
Maam, your power is
your loving heart.
**[08:28] ---**
My loving heart?
**[08:30] ---**
Your ability to care for others
and empathize with them.
**[08:33] ---**
That is the source of
all of your strength.
**[08:38] ---**
Avan valued such qualities
over strength and skill.
**[08:43] ---**
And he granted people with souls worthy of
saving the world with his Insignia.
**[08:50] ---**
That's why Dai, Popp, and Hyunckel
**[08:53] ---**
should also have unique qualities
that will make their Mysticite glow.
**[08:59] ---**
Unique colors of their souls.
**[09:03] ---**
As do you, Leona.
**[09:06] ---**
That's why the Great Purification Spell
must be cast by you five.
**[09:14] ---**
*Huh. Unique colors of our souls.*
**[09:19] ---**
*What color will mine glow?*
**[09:31] ---**
*It... It won't glow!*
**[09:33] ---**
*That's not possible!*
**[09:35] ---**
*Maam made hers glow
without knowing anything about it!*
**[09:42] ---**
*You're kidding!*
**[09:44] ---**
*My Insignia should glow at least a little!*
**[09:47] ---**
*Glow! Even just a faint glimmer!*
**[09:50] ---**
Who's there?!
**[09:55] ---**
What's wrong, Maam?
**[09:57] ---**
I sensed somebody here.
**[10:00] ---**
I thought maybe Popp was snooping on us.
**[10:16] ---**
That's not possible!
There must be some way to make it glow!
**[10:22] ---**
If it doesn't glow, that means I'll
drag everyone down at the crucial moment!
**[10:28] ---**
No way! I was properly chosen
as a Disciple by Master Avan, too!
**[10:35] ---**
Properly...
**[10:37] ---**
Someday I know you will understand.
**[10:40] ---**
So, hold onto this
for when that day comes.
**[10:45] ---**
Could it be...?!
**[10:46] ---**
Is it because Dai and I got our Insignias
before completing our training?!
**[10:52] ---**
*We weren't properly accepted
like Maam and Hyunckel were.*
**[10:57] ---**
*Could it be that I'm...*
**[11:01] ---**
*unworthy of being a Disciple of Avan?!*
**[11:06] ---**
*N-No way! No way!*
**[11:08] ---**
*That's not possible!*
**[11:10] ---**
*I've risked my life fighting
to come this far!*
**[11:14] ---**
I'll find a way to make this thing glow!
**[11:18] ---**
It'll glow!
**[11:19] ---**
I can make it glow too,
right Master Avan?!
**[11:23] ---**
This Ancient Tome was left by a Sage
who braved the Cave of Trials long ago.
**[11:28] ---**
It includes a map.
**[11:31] ---**
How far down is the Kaglimmer spell?
**[11:35] ---**
25 floors underground.
**[11:37] ---**
The Glimmer spell Avan obtained
is 15 floors underground.
**[11:43] ---**
So we're going deeper
than Master Avan did.
**[11:47] ---**
We have 30 hours until the execution.
**[11:52] ---**
We'll need ten hours to prepare
and get to Hyunckel and Crocodine.
**[11:56] ---**
That leaves 20 hours to search.
**[11:59] ---**
Frizz.
**[12:02] ---**
This candle will last for ten hours.
**[12:07] ---**
Once it goes out,
we should head back to the surface.
**[12:12] ---**
I can cast
the Dungeon Escape Spell, Evac...
**[12:16] ---**
but it won't work in this cave.
**[12:19] ---**
Unless the cave's Malice is
somehow repelled, we can't use Evac.
**[12:25] ---**
So we have to assume returning
will take ten hours.
**[12:30] ---**
If we can't go down 25 floors in
ten hours, we give up on Kaglimmer?
**[12:36] ---**
Yes.
**[12:37] ---**
We'll return to the surface and focus on
rescuing Hyunckel and Crocodine.
**[12:42] ---**
But...
**[12:45] ---**
we have a map and Merle's abilities.
**[12:49] ---**
So long as we watch out for monsters,
we should make good time.
**[12:54] ---**
Come, let us go.
**[13:02] ---**
How creepy.
And it gets a lot deeper with each floor.
**[13:07] ---**
I sense numerous
sources of Malice from below. Be careful.
**[13:14] ---**
Wait, Maam!
**[13:16] ---**
But this thing flaps around
and gets in the way.
**[13:19] ---**
Even so...
**[13:22] ---**
Forget it Merle.
That's the kind of person she is.
**[13:26] ---**
That sort of thing has a bad influence
on Popp and gives him a dirty mind!
**[13:32] ---**
Really? Popp's had a dirty mind
since I met him.
**[13:38] ---**
*And this group has its own issues.*
**[13:42] ---**
We're not on a picnic.
**[13:44] ---**
We're entering
the first level of the labyrinth.
**[13:55] ---**
Slimes!
**[14:00] ---**
The basics.
**[14:04] ---**
REFRACTOR FIST
**[14:09] ---**
FULLHEAL
HEAL-TYPE SPELL
**[14:15] ---**
They're weak,
but fighting them all will take time!
**[14:29] ---**
We should avoid wasting any time.
**[14:33] ---**
Let's go.
**[14:34] ---**
What spell can be learned on
the first level?
**[14:37] ---**
It says Safe Passage.
**[14:39] ---**
We can skip that. I can already use it.
**[14:42] ---**
We skip all of them.
**[14:44] ---**
All we want is Kaglimmer, 25 floors down.
**[14:52] ---**
*So Nova's helping him train.*
**[14:56] ---**
*Dai's Insignia was
a provisional one like mine.*
**[15:00] ---**
*So how about him?*
**[15:06] ---**
You seem much better!
I see you've gotten over it, Dai!
**[15:11] ---**
I don't have time to mope around!
We're fighting Vearn, the Dark King!
**[15:16] ---**
I need to gain any skill I can use,
no matter how minor!
**[15:21] ---**
And I'll defeat Vearn!
**[15:27] ---**
Here goes!
**[15:31] ---**
*Oh crap!*
**[15:33] ---**
*I'm the only one!
I'm the only one who can't do it!*
**[15:37] ---**
*I have to do something quick!*
**[15:40] ---**
*There's no time!*
**[15:44] ---**
From here, we'll base your training
on the Book of Avan.
**[15:51] ---**
I'll push myself! I'll do it! I'll do it!
**[16:15] ---**
The Ancient Tome says the deeper we go,
the stronger the monsters get.
**[16:22] ---**
I don't sense any more monsters
on this level.
**[16:26] ---**
Let's find the stairs down.
**[16:29] ---**
Oh!
**[16:30] ---**
What's wrong?!
**[16:32] ---**
A vase! I found a vase!
**[16:34] ---**
Let's see what's inside!
**[16:36] ---**
Come on. Let's find the stairs.
**[16:39] ---**
Huh?! Huh?!
You're ignoring a vase in the cave?
**[16:52] ---**
Avan Strash!
**[17:11] ---**
Yes! I can do it! I can use them both!
**[17:14] ---**
That was the projectile type, right?
**[17:16] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:17] ---**
According to the Book of Avan,
there are two types of Avan Strash.
**[17:24] ---**
*The Arrow Type, where you cut
a distant enemy by slashing Aura at them.*
**[17:29] ---**
*And the Break Type, where you slash
an enemy directly with all of your Aura.*
**[17:34] ---**
Arrow and Break...
**[17:37] ---**
"Each type has its
advantages and disadvantages.
**[17:40] ---**
The Arrow Type can be used quickly,
but has a weaker impact.
**[17:45] ---**
The Break Type is powerful
and has speed,
**[17:49] ---**
but takes time to unleash each shot.
**[17:53] ---**
Using each type of Strash in battle
depending on the situation
**[17:58] ---**
requires skill and quick judgement,"
**[18:02] ---**
so it says.
**[18:03] ---**
I see. I've been fighting without
thinking about that at all.
**[18:09] ---**
*Had I known that,
I could have fought much better.*
**[18:13] ---**
It's kind of embarrassing.
**[18:15] ---**
Don't be embarrassed.
**[18:17] ---**
Look.
**[18:18] ---**
What?
**[18:19] ---**
I can use Aura Blade.
**[18:22] ---**
It's not an Avan Strash, but I can
launch my Aura in an attack, too.
**[18:33] ---**
See that?
**[18:34] ---**
As adept as I am at Aura Blade,
I still struggle to hit my target
**[18:39] ---**
and time my attack so it detonates
at the moment of impact.
**[18:45] ---**
Even Sir Avan probably didn't
expect you to master Avan Strash so soon.
**[18:53] ---**
That's why he didn't lecture you on
the different types of Strash.
**[18:58] ---**
I guess so.
**[18:59] ---**
But if I knew how to read...
**[19:03] ---**
I could have learned that when Matoriv
gave us the Book of Avan.
**[19:10] ---**
That's definitely your fault.
**[19:12] ---**
But that's why I brought the Book of Avan
**[19:17] ---**
to help with your training.
**[19:20] ---**
Don't waste your time, Dai.
**[19:23] ---**
Thank you, Nova.
**[19:25] ---**
Save your thanks for Princess Leona.
**[19:29] ---**
*She's the one who asked me to help.*
**[19:32] ---**
You can tell her if she makes it back.
**[19:36] ---**
It's fine. I know she'll come back.
**[19:40] ---**
You believe in her.
**[19:42] ---**
Leona always does what she sets out to do.
**[19:46] ---**
She always has.
**[19:57] ---**
Come on, Leona! I told you
not to open the treasure chests!
**[20:03] ---**
I couldn't help it.
**[20:05] ---**
It seems like a waste to
find one and ignore it.
**[20:08] ---**
Leona, I bet you buy mountains of stuff
whenever you go shopping, don't you?
**[20:16] ---**
Um, but, considering where we are,
**[20:18] ---**
I thought we might find a weapon
that could save the world or something.
**[20:25] ---**
What have we found so far?
**[20:26] ---**
Two Cypress Sticks and 216 gold.
**[20:30] ---**
We definitely can't
save the world with these.
**[20:36] ---**
Fine! I get it already!
**[20:38] ---**
Onward it is, right? Onward!
**[20:41] ---**
But it's been almost ten hours.
**[20:44] ---**
We're still only 18 floors down.
**[20:47] ---**
We should start thinking about
heading back.
**[20:52] ---**
I didn't think each floor
would take this long.
**[20:55] ---**
Oh! Princess Leona!
**[20:57] ---**
Wait!
**[20:59] ---**
What? What did I do now?
**[21:04] ---**
No! I mean... It's not that.
**[21:08] ---**
Then what is it?
**[21:10] ---**
Go on, Merle. Speak up.
**[21:13] ---**
It's a premonition... or just a feeling.
**[21:18] ---**
Whatever! Just say it!
**[21:21] ---**
This floor...
**[21:24] ---**
Staying here too long...
**[21:27] ---**
feels dangerous.
**[21:29] ---**
Huh?!
**[21:33] ---**
Head back to the stairs!
**[21:38] ---**
-Merle!
-Yes?!
**[21:39] ---**
Next time, let us know right away!
**[21:42] ---**
Okay!
**[22:07] ---**
*To be honest I was clumsy*
**[22:07] ---**
*omoeba boku wa bukiyou de*
**[22:12] ---**
*And it took me forever to get here*

THE SACRED INHERITANCE
**[01:53] ---**
Head back to the stairs!
**[02:07] ---**
Is everyone okay?!
**[02:08] ---**
Yes.
**[02:09] ---**
Yes.
**[02:10] ---**
I'm okay.
**[02:12] ---**
But...
**[02:17] ---**
This is a problem.
**[02:21] ---**
We're at ten hours.
Sadly, we have to head back.
**[02:27] ---**
Queen Flora, let's keep going.
**[02:30] ---**
What?
**[02:31] ---**
Leona?!
**[02:32] ---**
There's no guarantee
we'll find a way back in ten hours.
**[02:38] ---**
Let's take our chances
on finding Kaglimmer.
**[02:41] ---**
But then it'll take more time
getting back!
**[02:44] ---**
We only have two pieces of Mysticite,
**[02:47] ---**
but if we use Kaglimmer,
it should repel the Malice of this cave.
**[02:51] ---**
That should allow
Queen Flora's Evac to get us out.
**[02:55] ---**
But it would take nothing
short of a miracle to succeed.
**[03:01] ---**
We're hoping to achieve
the great miracle of defeating Vearn.
**[03:07] ---**
How can we hope to do that if we can't
pull off a small miracle first?
**[03:23] ---**
There's no time to fight them!
**[03:26] ---**
Let's go everyone!
**[03:28] ---**
-Right!
-Yes!
**[03:30] ---**
*I was right in choosing you Leona.*
**[03:35] ---**
*Your words have a power
that gives people strength.*
**[03:45] ---**
*Ten hours left.*
**[03:49] ---**
*I know we can obtain Kaglimmer!*
**[03:54] ---**
Avan Strash!
**[04:11] ---**
Good!
**[04:12] ---**
You've learned to
rapid-fire the Arrow Type!
**[04:16] ---**
But I don't think this is enough
to counter Vearn's Kaiser Phoenix.
**[04:22] ---**
*When I pierced his spell before,
I used the Break Type.*
**[04:28] ---**
Now that I don't have my sword and
I can't use attacks with my Draconic Aura,
**[04:33] ---**
I need an attack as fast as the Arrow Type
and as powerful as the Break Type.
**[04:42] ---**
What is it?
**[04:43] ---**
Nova, could you ready yourself?
**[04:46] ---**
Huh?
**[04:49] ---**
I just thought up a new attack!
**[04:53] ---**
A new attack?
**[04:56] ---**
Have you discovered
a third type of Avan Strash?
**[05:01] ---**
It's nothing that impressive.
**[05:05] ---**
Have your Aura Blade at full strength.
**[05:09] ---**
Got it.
**[05:12] ---**
Come on!
**[05:17] ---**
*It looks like the same stance.*
**[05:21] ---**
*Wait...*
**[05:30] ---**
Here goes!
**[05:56] ---**
Are you serious...?
**[05:59] ---**
If my weapon wasn't an Aura Blade
that would've taken my head off!
**[06:03] ---**
Sorry about that.
**[06:05] ---**
But it works!
**[06:07] ---**
It's just a small part of our arsenal,
but we've got a new power!
**[06:12] ---**
"A small part"?
**[06:15] ---**
To me, it looks like you've created
a terrifying new attack.
**[06:20] ---**
You think so?
**[06:23] ---**
You never cease to amaze.
**[06:26] ---**
I can't believe I tried to rival you.
**[06:30] ---**
It's not much.
**[06:31] ---**
And my timing is still off.
**[06:34] ---**
Yeah. Let's keep training!
**[06:37] ---**
Then let's go!
**[06:57] ---**
This is the 25th level.
**[07:00] ---**
The level where Kaglimmer can be found.
**[07:14] ---**
I sense a strange power
from the center area.
**[07:18] ---**
That must be the ritual altar.
**[07:21] ---**
Hmm.
**[07:24] ---**
So I pray here?
**[07:26] ---**
It looks like it.
**[07:27] ---**
Wear your Insignia.
**[07:29] ---**
Okay.
**[07:37] ---**
Here goes!
**[07:44] ---**
It's finally time.
**[07:45] ---**
Yes.
**[07:49] ---**
I sense monsters!
**[07:53] ---**
Well, that makes sense.
**[07:55] ---**
Leona.
**[07:57] ---**
Leave the monsters to us.
Focus on the ritual.
**[08:00] ---**
Okay!
**[08:09] ---**
Here they come!
**[08:27] ---**
Damn it...!
**[08:36] ---**
There's more!
**[08:43] ---**
What a welcoming party.
**[08:45] ---**
Why do so many monsters inhabit
a cave made by the God of Humans?
**[08:49] ---**
According to ancient texts of a Sage,
the lowest level of the Cave of Trials
**[08:55] ---**
connects to the Underworld.
**[08:58] ---**
You won't get any closer!
**[09:05] ---**
Princess Leona...
**[09:11] ---**
The Ritual of Inheritance is beginning!
**[09:18] ---**
God of Humans,
grant me this legendary spell.
**[09:24] ---**
The word of strength
imbued with holy power...
**[09:30] ---**
Kaglimmer!
**[09:36] ---**
Leona!
**[09:38] ---**
Princess Leona!
**[09:40] ---**
That's not real fire!
**[09:43] ---**
It's spiritual energy.
A flame of the soul!
**[09:46] ---**
So it's an illusion?!
**[09:48] ---**
No. This must be a test
left by the God of Humans.
**[09:53] ---**
If Leona is unworthy of using Kaglimmer...
**[09:57] ---**
I believe this flame will incinerate her.
**[10:02] ---**
No!
**[10:05] ---**
Leona!
**[10:06] ---**
Leona, be strong! Maintain a strong will!
**[10:28] ---**
FULLHEAL
HEAL-TYPE SPELL
**[10:34] ---**
REFRACTOR FIST
**[10:41] ---**
*You who seek Kaglimmer, present your soul.*
**[10:48] ---**
My... soul?!
**[10:50] ---**
*Reveal the root of your soul
which seeks the power of purification.*
**[10:56] ---**
*Have you a purpose
worthy of this great power or not?*
**[11:02] ---**
I can't answer
such a difficult question so suddenly!
**[11:07] ---**
I only have one reason
for seeking the power of purification!
**[11:13] ---**
Because I believe!
**[11:15] ---**
In the world I was born and raised in!
In all its countries!
**[11:19] ---**
And in all the people who live there!
**[11:23] ---**
It's not to defeat evil!
**[11:25] ---**
It's to prove that the things
we've inherited weren't in the wrong!
**[11:32] ---**
For that, I need power! That's all!
**[11:50] ---**
The flames!
**[11:51] ---**
What is that white light?!
**[11:53] ---**
That's the will to see the truth
and pursue what is right!
**[11:58] ---**
That is Leona's power.
**[12:01] ---**
The light of the soul of justice!
**[12:10] ---**
Everyone! Come to me!
**[12:28] ---**
Kaglimmer!
**[12:36] ---**
A pillar of light?!
**[12:38] ---**
That must be Leona!
**[12:40] ---**
Let's get back!
**[13:03] ---**
Donk!
**[13:14] ---**
It's no good!
**[13:16] ---**
No matter how much
I expend my Magic Power...
**[13:19] ---**
No matter how much I punish myself...
**[13:24] ---**
It doesn't...
**[13:27] ---**
glow at all!
**[13:50] ---**
You know, even though
his was provisional, too...
**[13:54] ---**
Dai's father was a Dragon Knight.
**[13:57] ---**
Leona's the Princess of Papnica.
**[13:59] ---**
Maam's parents were the Warrior
and Cleric from Master Avan's party.
**[14:05] ---**
Hyunckel's a combat pro who's been trained
by both good and evil since he was a kid.
**[14:14] ---**
I'm the only one!
**[14:15] ---**
I'm the only one who's different!
**[14:21] ---**
I'm not like them!
**[14:43] ---**
What is it, Popp? Say something.
**[14:48] ---**
You came here looking for advice, right?
**[14:53] ---**
What is it?
**[14:57] ---**
Well...
**[15:04] ---**
I can't tell you.
**[15:05] ---**
You may be my mentor, but this is...
**[15:09] ---**
Well, this is pointless.
**[15:11] ---**
How can I give advice
when you won't say anything?
**[15:15] ---**
I'm not a Seer, you know.
**[15:18] ---**
I know that.
**[15:21] ---**
I know that asking for advice from you
won't solve what's troubling me.
**[15:27] ---**
This is my own problem.
**[15:31] ---**
Though...
**[15:32] ---**
I doubt it's something
I can do anything about.
**[15:36] ---**
I'm just the normal son of
a weapons merchant.
**[15:39] ---**
In the end, I've finally hit
a wall I can't overcome.
**[15:44] ---**
I suppose that's all it is.
**[15:47] ---**
But... even so!
**[15:49] ---**
I don't want to be
a burden on everyone else!
**[15:53] ---**
I don't know what I should do anymore!
**[15:57] ---**
So I ended up here.
**[16:07] ---**
Sorry. I'm actually kind of flattered.
**[16:11] ---**
Flattered?
**[16:14] ---**
I have no idea what you're going through.
**[16:17] ---**
But seeing the green little brat
I trained finally reach this level
**[16:23] ---**
makes me both happy and sad.
**[16:25] ---**
I feel all tingly inside.
**[16:29] ---**
I never had a wife or a kid,
**[16:32] ---**
but I guess this is what
being a parent would feel like.
**[16:37] ---**
Mentor...
**[16:39] ---**
Now that I've taught you Medroa,
**[16:42] ---**
when it comes to combat,
you've probably surpassed me.
**[16:47] ---**
If I had an Insignia of Matoriv,
I'd have given it to you a long time ago!
**[16:58] ---**
Popp?
**[17:00] ---**
Sorry, Mentor, for whining like that.
**[17:03] ---**
I'll... I'll figure it out for myself.
**[17:08] ---**
Hold on.
**[17:09] ---**
Listen up. This is
the last piece of advice I have for you.
**[17:14] ---**
*"The last"?*
**[17:17] ---**
Believe in yourself.
**[17:19] ---**
*Believe in myself?*
**[17:22] ---**
If you were just a spoiled brat,
you never would have come this far.
**[17:27] ---**
Because you were a weak son of
a weapons merchant, you looked up to Avan,
**[17:31] ---**
and struggled harder than anyone
to make it this far.
**[17:35] ---**
Have some confidence.
**[17:37] ---**
You're strong.
**[17:40] ---**
I'm proud to call you my student.
**[17:52] ---**
*Popp, I'm pretty sure I know
what you're going through.*
**[17:59] ---**
*This will probably be
the biggest hurdle of your life.*
**[18:03] ---**
*But...*
**[18:05] ---**
*if you can overcome it...*
**[18:08] ---**
*you'll make it to a place
that I never could.*
**[18:20] ---**
We have attained
the Great Purification Spell, Kaglimmer!
**[18:28] ---**
We shall succeed in our plan
to rescue Hyunckel and Crocodine...
**[18:32] ---**
and then send the Hero's party
into Vearn Palace!
**[18:38] ---**
*The Princess made it back safely.*
**[18:41] ---**
You did it, Leona!
**[18:43] ---**
Yeah! It was pretty easy, right everyone?
**[18:49] ---**
That Mysticite should glow for you
as an Insignia of Avan now.
**[18:56] ---**
Thank you!
**[19:00] ---**
It was unbelievable!
**[19:02] ---**
*That's right. Leona's a royal princess
and even she's trying hard.*
**[19:08] ---**
*I need to try at least ten times harder!*
**[19:17] ---**
How about you? Did your training go well?
**[19:21] ---**
Go well? He easily invented a new attack!
**[19:26] ---**
Wow! That's amazing!
**[19:30] ---**
Now I just need a sword
that can endure my Draconic Aura...
**[19:34] ---**
If only we had your Sword of Dai.
**[19:38] ---**
Queen Flora! Emergency!
**[19:41] ---**
A Darkling is approaching the Fort!
**[19:44] ---**
What?!
**[19:52] ---**
Wait! He's not an enemy!
**[19:58] ---**
What a hostile welcome.
**[20:01] ---**
Indeed! You're insulting your savior here!
**[20:05] ---**
Lon Beruk!
**[20:07] ---**
Go on! Out of the way!
**[20:09] ---**
Oh! Princess!
It's good to see you're well!
**[20:14] ---**
The Dark King used the staff, didn't he?
**[20:16] ---**
Yeah. The Staff of Edacity.
**[20:19] ---**
Did you really make it, Lon Beruk?
**[20:22] ---**
I did. With that in hand,
Vearn is truly unbeatable.
**[20:26] ---**
Face to face, you don't
stand a chance against him.
**[20:31] ---**
That's why I came all this way.
**[20:34] ---**
How did you even find us?
**[20:37] ---**
I asked this.
**[20:39] ---**
Wait! Is that...?!
**[20:42] ---**
That's right.
**[20:44] ---**
This came to me along with
Hyunckel's Dark Armour Spear.
**[20:50] ---**
*These weapons came to me seeking
greater power for the battle ahead.*
**[20:57] ---**
So I accepted their plea.
**[21:10] ---**
This is the newly reborn Sword of Dai.
**[21:18] ---**
May I draw it?
**[21:20] ---**
Ask it yourself.
**[21:27] ---**
*The feel of it in my hand...*
**[21:30] ---**
*I've missed this.*
**[21:33] ---**
Show yourself to me, my sword!
**[22:07] ---**
*To be honest I was clumsy*
**[22:07] ---**
*omoeba boku wa bukiyou de*
**[22:12] ---**
*And it took me forever to get here*
**[22:12] ---**
*shouganaikurai tomawarishita*
**[22:19] ---**
*I used even loneliness as a weapon*
**[22:19] ---**
*kodokukannsura mo buki ni shite*
**[22:24] ---**
*I searched the dungeon for a simple answer*
**[22:24] ---**
*tannjun na kotae wo sagashita dannjon*
**[22:30] ---**
*Even if I cast aside
Rightness and kindness*
**[22:30] ---**
*tadashisa yasashisa nagedashite mo*
**[22:35] ---**
*I just want to be there for you*
**[22:35] ---**
*tada hitori kimi no mikata de itai*
**[22:42] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[22:42] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga*
**[22:47] ---**
*Is harder than any magic spell*
**[22:47] ---**
*ari to arayuru mahou yori muzukashikute*
**[22:53] ---**
*Even though you're so close to me*
**[22:53] ---**
*konnani mo chikaku ni itanoni*
**[22:59] ---**
*I love you*
**[22:59] ---**
*aishiteiru*
**[23:02] ---**
*I finally realized it*
**[23:02] ---**
*imasara kizuitanosa*
**[23:05] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[23:05] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu tame ni*
**[23:10] ---**
*Must be the reason I was born*
**[23:10] ---**
*boku wa kitto umarete kitannda*
**[23:17] ---**
*I shake off the clinging night*
**[23:17] ---**
*shigamitsuku yoru furihodoite*
**[23:22] ---**
*And go to see you*
**[23:22] ---**
*ai ni iku*
**[23:25] ---**
*Right now to where you are*
**[23:25] ---**
*ima sugu kimi no moto e*
**[23:34] ---**
*As Dai invents a new attack,*
**[23:36] ---**
*Lon Beruk arrives, bringing the restored
Sword of Dai and other new weapons.*
**[23:41] ---**
*Morale is high, but Maam and Amy
are not their usual selves.*
**[23:46] ---**
*And Popp still struggles
to make his Insignia of Avan glow.*
**[23:50] ---**
*As the battle approaches,
things grow strained.*

THE NIGHT BEFORE THE BATTLE
**[01:55] ---**
There isn't a single scratch!
**[01:58] ---**
It looks brand new!
**[02:02] ---**
I'm glad you're okay.
Now we can fight together again.
**[02:07] ---**
This time it really could be
the final battle.
**[02:11] ---**
I'm going to use all the power I can.
**[02:13] ---**
I hope you'll support me.
**[02:17] ---**
Thank you, Lon Beruk.
**[02:20] ---**
Congratulations, Dai!
That's a huge boost to your strength!
**[02:24] ---**
Now you can use your Draconic Aura and
the Sword of Dai's been enhanced, right?
**[02:29] ---**
The Sword of Dai doesn't get stronger.
**[02:32] ---**
Huh?
**[02:33] ---**
I'm the one who has to get stronger.
**[02:36] ---**
About that, Dai.
**[02:38] ---**
I did a little tinkering of my own.
**[02:41] ---**
Huh?
**[02:41] ---**
Your sword remains as it was before.
**[02:45] ---**
But, in battle, you should exhibit
far greater power.
**[02:50] ---**
The secret isn't in the sword itself.
**[02:53] ---**
It's in the scabbard.
**[02:54] ---**
The scabbard?
**[02:57] ---**
I've written the details down here.
**[03:00] ---**
Read through it before the battle.
**[03:06] ---**
Okay, I'll read it for you.
**[03:09] ---**
I've enhanced
the Dark Armour Spear, but...
**[03:13] ---**
I hear Hyunckel was captured?
**[03:18] ---**
I see.
**[03:21] ---**
I understand the situation.
**[03:24] ---**
I'm amazed you still decided to invade
Vearn Palace under these circumstances.
**[03:30] ---**
It seems more reckless than brave.
**[03:36] ---**
I suppose that's humans for you.
**[03:38] ---**
*Who is this guy?*
**[03:40] ---**
I've made weapons for Dai's companions,
so that should make fighting easier.
**[03:46] ---**
For my companions?
**[03:48] ---**
Right! Hold on to your seats!
**[03:59] ---**
This is the new Dark Armour Spear.
This is an axe and this is a staff...
**[04:04] ---**
Wait. Where's Popp?
**[04:06] ---**
Huh? I haven't seen him in a while.
**[04:12] ---**
Apparently he went to the forest
behind the Fort.
**[04:15] ---**
Oh. I guess Popp's training, too.
**[04:18] ---**
So this is mine?
**[04:20] ---**
Yes. That's your new weapon...
**[04:24] ---**
the Dark Armour Fist.
**[04:26] ---**
The Dark Armour Fist?
**[04:28] ---**
It'll work better on
your non-dominant hand.
**[04:32] ---**
Oh man. Everybody else gets new weapons.
**[04:36] ---**
There's one for you, too.
**[04:38] ---**
What?! A new weapon from
the craftsman of the Underworld?!
**[04:42] ---**
No. I made this one!
**[04:45] ---**
The Barbed Nunchaku!
**[04:48] ---**
Here!
**[04:50] ---**
This'll shred any enemy!
**[04:55] ---**
It looks like it'll shred my hands, too.
**[04:59] ---**
But I appreciate the thought.
**[05:01] ---**
Ouch!
**[05:06] ---**
There's no need to get emotional!
**[05:10] ---**
Lon Beruk, why are you
helping us humans so much?
**[05:15] ---**
I was never really
on the Dark King's side.
**[05:20] ---**
I merely did what I was asked to.
**[05:23] ---**
As a result, the Staff of Edacity
became the strongest weapon in the world.
**[05:28] ---**
But that's because
the Dark King himself is so powerful.
**[05:31] ---**
Simply put, even a knife
becomes more powerful in his hands.
**[05:36] ---**
He's the most boring customer
a weaponsmith could have.
**[05:40] ---**
Why am I helping you?
**[05:43] ---**
Helping the weak seems more interesting.
Does that answer your question?
**[05:53] ---**
He's such a weirdo.
**[05:56] ---**
Pretty much.
**[05:57] ---**
But he's actually not a bad guy.
**[06:00] ---**
Okay! Let's rescue Crocodine
and Hyunckel, and deliver these to them!
**[06:05] ---**
Right, everyone?!
**[06:08] ---**
Then I'll take this axe to
Mr. Crocodine...
**[06:14] ---**
or so I thought.
**[06:16] ---**
Ursula!
**[06:19] ---**
My troop member can carry it.
**[06:21] ---**
Then I'll take the spear and staff...
**[06:24] ---**
Miss Amy?
**[06:26] ---**
Let me take this spear.
**[06:30] ---**
I want to personally deliver it
to the man I love.
**[06:37] ---**
She's serious.
**[06:39] ---**
I'm in love with Hyunckel.
**[06:43] ---**
At first, he seemed so menacing.
**[06:46] ---**
He's the Legion Commander
who destroyed our country, after all.
**[06:51] ---**
But I slowly came to realize...
**[06:55] ---**
that he's actually pure and delicate.
**[06:58] ---**
That his heart is like glass,
sharp yet fragile.
**[07:03] ---**
I found myself slowly drawn to him.
**[07:07] ---**
Before the last battle,
I took this spear from him.
**[07:12] ---**
I didn't want for him to fight.
For him to be hurt.
**[07:18] ---**
*I never knew!*
**[07:21] ---**
But I realized I was wrong.
**[07:24] ---**
All I did was add to his suffering.
**[07:28] ---**
If living in battle is what he desires...
**[07:31] ---**
If he is destined to writhe in hell...
**[07:35] ---**
then I will embrace it!
**[07:37] ---**
I will join him in hell!
**[07:42] ---**
Maam, you don't mind
if I give this to him, do you?
**[07:50] ---**
Then I guess I'll go take this to Popp.
**[07:54] ---**
Maam...
**[07:57] ---**
We've got your back,
so make sure you hand that to him.
**[08:01] ---**
And tell him how you feel when you do.
**[08:04] ---**
I already did, but he turned me down.
**[08:07] ---**
Why would he turn down
someone as beautiful as you?
**[08:11] ---**
What should we do?
**[08:12] ---**
What a turn of events! How exciting!
**[08:16] ---**
That's not what I meant.
**[08:18] ---**
Does it matter?
People can love who they please.
**[08:21] ---**
Besides, Maam is far too oblivious
about her own charisma.
**[08:26] ---**
This is a good chance
for her to grow as a person.
**[08:29] ---**
Your words and expression don't match.
**[08:33] ---**
Oh?
**[08:38] ---**
What's going on?
**[08:40] ---**
Nothing! Don't worry about it!
**[08:42] ---**
*If Merle gets involved,
it'll make things even worse.*
**[08:46] ---**
Queen Flora, the food
is now ready for everyone.
**[08:52] ---**
Once we eat,
check your weapons one last time!
**[08:56] ---**
Then get as much rest as possible.
**[08:59] ---**
Tomorrow, we go to war!
**[09:14] ---**
I never knew...
**[09:16] ---**
Miss Amy felt that way about Hyunckel.
**[09:19] ---**
What about me?
**[09:21] ---**
How do I feel?
**[09:27] ---**
*According to the Ancient Tome, five types
of soul power are required for Kaglimmer.*
**[09:32] ---**
*The five types are Courage, Love,
Fortitude, Justice...*
**[09:39] ---**
*and a fifth one
which was too faded to make out.*
**[09:44] ---**
*Dai is Courage and Maam is Love.*
**[09:48] ---**
*Leona is Justice...*
**[09:49] ---**
*"Fortitude" is like a word
that was invented for Hyunckel.*
**[09:53] ---**
*And mine remains a mystery.*
**[09:55] ---**
*Do I really deserve such a word
to begin with?*
**[10:00] ---**
*I only got this far
by the skin of my teeth.*
**[10:04] ---**
*It was just for everyone,
no, especially for her.*
**[10:08] ---**
Popp.
**[10:12] ---**
Maam?!
**[10:16] ---**
MEDROA
**[10:21] ---**
AVAN STRASH
**[10:24] ---**
Maam?!
**[10:26] ---**
Sorry to interrupt your training.
**[10:29] ---**
Nah, it's fine.
**[10:31] ---**
*I can't let her know.*
**[10:33] ---**
*The fact that I'm mediocre.
That I'm not like everyone else.*
**[10:39] ---**
Here's the staff Lon Beruk made for you
and its instructions.
**[10:43] ---**
Lon Beruk?!
**[10:45] ---**
He repaired and brought
Dai and Hyunckel's weapons.
**[10:48] ---**
He also made weapons for us and Crocodine.
**[10:52] ---**
Wow. That's pretty thoughtful.
**[10:55] ---**
With the Sword of Dai
we'll be in great shape.
**[10:57] ---**
Let's see what sort of weapon this is.
**[11:02] ---**
Um... Popp.
**[11:04] ---**
Hm?
**[11:05] ---**
Can I talk to you about something?
**[11:08] ---**
What's this about all of a sudden?
**[11:12] ---**
It's about... Hyunckel.
**[11:15] ---**
I don't really know how I feel about him.
**[11:21] ---**
I told you I don't know how
I feel about Hyunckel as a man.
**[11:28] ---**
I never really thought about men
that way before.
**[11:33] ---**
But when Miss Amy said
she was in love with Hyunckel
**[11:38] ---**
my heart started pounding.
**[11:41] ---**
Could I be jealous of her?
**[11:43] ---**
Or am I just confused because
someone other than us understands him?
**[11:50] ---**
Maybe I really...
**[11:51] ---**
Shut up.
**[11:54] ---**
I said shut up!
**[11:56] ---**
How the hell should I know
what you don't know yourself, idiot?!
**[12:01] ---**
You don't have to be so...
**[12:02] ---**
We've got a battle tomorrow
that we might not come back from
**[12:06] ---**
and you're suddenly talking about love?!
**[12:10] ---**
I don't care whether
you love Hyunckel or whatever!
**[12:21] ---**
I'm sorry, Popp.
**[12:23] ---**
I didn't consider how hard
you were training for tomorrow.
**[12:30] ---**
You're the only one
I can talk to about this stuff.
**[12:34] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[12:45] ---**
*I'm the real idiot!*
**[12:47] ---**
*She came to me because she trusted me,
and I threw it back in her face!*
**[12:54] ---**
*This is exactly why I can't get
one little rock to shine!*
**[13:00] ---**
*Dammit!*
**[13:02] ---**
Dammit!
**[13:18] ---**
My new staff?
**[13:20] ---**
This is for me?
**[13:22] ---**
"Black Rod."
**[13:24] ---**
"This staff absorbs Magic Power
and converts it to physical energy."
**[13:28] ---**
"It can also extend and change shape
according to the user's will"?
**[13:43] ---**
Wow! This thing is amazing!
**[13:46] ---**
It's basically the same as
Vearn's Staff of Edacity!
**[13:49] ---**
And it can change shape, too!
**[13:52] ---**
*I must have imbued it with Magic Power.*
**[13:56] ---**
If that little Magic Power
becomes that much destructive power...
**[14:00] ---**
this should be useful
for physical attacks.
**[14:04] ---**
*I'll have to do it. All or nothing.*
**[14:07] ---**
*Nothing I did
made my Insignia of Avan glow.*
**[14:11] ---**
*My only hope is to figure out
something during the battle!*
**[14:16] ---**
*Everyone is counting on me.*
**[14:18] ---**
*I can pull something off
at the last minute.*
**[14:23] ---**
*I have to believe that!*
**[14:27] ---**
My friends, the time of battle approaches.
**[14:30] ---**
I hope you all will try your hardest!
**[14:36] ---**
With that...
**[14:37] ---**
some soldiers have said that
monsters like us
**[14:40] ---**
will be difficult to distinguish
from enemies in the heat of battle.
**[14:46] ---**
So I've made Beast King Commando badges!
**[14:49] ---**
I have one for each of you.
**[14:59] ---**
And Otoad is number ten.
**[15:02] ---**
Wait, that's strange.
**[15:04] ---**
There's 11 of you.
**[15:06] ---**
Hi!
**[15:09] ---**
M-Master?!
**[15:10] ---**
You're Master Brokeena!
**[15:12] ---**
Master? That's not who I am.
**[15:16] ---**
I'm the Beast King Commandos 11th helper!
**[15:19] ---**
The mysterious monster, Mr. Beast!
**[15:23] ---**
You don't need a disguise.
**[15:27] ---**
Helping my students in secret seems cool.
**[15:31] ---**
Also, I'll need to have a badge, too!
**[15:34] ---**
Just like everyone else!
**[15:36] ---**
Oh boy...
**[15:39] ---**
The execution will be in Loroi Valley.
We saw Dark Army monsters gathered there.
**[15:44] ---**
There are mountains on all sides.
If we're surrounded, we can't escape.
**[15:49] ---**
The terrain is an issue, but the biggest
problem will be when Kaglimmer is cast.
**[15:55] ---**
The five Disciples of Avan
won't be able to fight.
**[15:58] ---**
We have to fend off the enemy
with everything we've got.
**[16:03] ---**
That will be my job.
**[16:05] ---**
I'll command all the soldiers...
**[16:07] ---**
Will such a patchwork army be enough?
**[16:13] ---**
What are you asking?
**[16:15] ---**
I'm asking if you'll be able to
hold your ground.
**[16:19] ---**
If the line is breached
while they're defenseless, you'll all die.
**[16:26] ---**
Who asked you?!
**[16:27] ---**
We're not here on a whim like you are!
**[16:31] ---**
I'm willing to risk my life...
**[16:34] ---**
Don't assume you'll win
by risking your life.
**[16:37] ---**
You'll just die in vain.
**[16:38] ---**
What?!
**[16:39] ---**
Enough, Nova!
**[16:40] ---**
Relax, kid. I'm not trying to insult you.
**[16:46] ---**
I'm asking if you need a helping hand.
**[16:50] ---**
A helping hand?
**[16:52] ---**
You yourself would fight?
**[16:54] ---**
I thought I'd follow you all
to the very end.
**[17:11] ---**
Oh, Dai.
**[17:13] ---**
What are you doing?
**[17:14] ---**
Preparing medicinal herbs for everyone.
**[17:17] ---**
What are you doing?
**[17:19] ---**
I couldn't relax enough to sleep.
**[17:23] ---**
I really should, shouldn't I?
**[17:27] ---**
Then why don't you try this?
**[17:30] ---**
This is a Dream Seed.
It will help you sleep and heal fatigue.
**[17:35] ---**
Huh.
**[17:36] ---**
It is said that
those who are pure of heart
**[17:40] ---**
will be able to dream
what they truly wish to dream.
**[17:45] ---**
I'm sure you'll have a nice dream.
**[17:50] ---**
Thanks Merle. Goodnight.
**[17:53] ---**
Goodnight, Dai.
**[17:58] ---**
*May you have a good rest tonight.*
**[18:01] ---**
*For tomorrow, you will face a battle
far beyond my imagination.*
**[19:16] ---**
*Don't be sad, Mom.*
**[19:19] ---**
*I've made up my mind.*
**[19:22] ---**
*I'm going to risk everything
for this fight.*
**[19:29] ---**
*I promise I won't lose.*
**[19:49] ---**
Dai!
**[19:51] ---**
You look chipper.
Did something good happen?
**[19:55] ---**
I dreamed about my mom.
**[19:56] ---**
Your mother?
**[19:58] ---**
My mom was so beautiful.
**[20:01] ---**
I wanted to thank Merle for the Dream Seed
she gave me, but she's not here.
**[20:05] ---**
She left early with everyone else.
**[20:08] ---**
She's going to fight, too.
**[20:10] ---**
Even Merle?!
**[20:11] ---**
I argued against it, but she was adamant.
**[20:14] ---**
If the world is going to end, she'd rather
fight with us even if she's weak.
**[20:21] ---**
I see.
**[20:23] ---**
Where's Maam and Popp?
**[20:24] ---**
I'm not sure what they're doing.
**[20:31] ---**
Maam, you there?
**[20:33] ---**
Popp?
**[20:34] ---**
Sorry about yesterday.
I lost my temper and yelled.
**[20:39] ---**
I didn't consider your feelings.
**[20:41] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[20:42] ---**
Don't worry. It was my fault.
**[20:46] ---**
Let's forget it happened.
**[20:48] ---**
And let's focus on today.
**[20:51] ---**
You can't tell Hyunckel how you feel
if you don't rescue him first.
**[20:56] ---**
Right.
**[20:58] ---**
*While you're praying for Hyunckel,
pray for me, Maam.*
**[21:02] ---**
*Pray that I don't fail
in that vital moment.*
**[21:06] ---**
Oh?
**[21:08] ---**
They look normal.
**[21:11] ---**
You're disappointed?
**[21:13] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting!
**[21:14] ---**
It's finally time.
**[21:21] ---**
I know you all know this,
but I'll say it anyway.
**[21:25] ---**
Failure is not an option for us.
**[21:28] ---**
If you assume we'll have
a second shot at this, we will lose.
**[21:35] ---**
This will be our final battle! Got it?!
**[21:39] ---**
Okay! Let's go, everyone!
**[21:42] ---**
Right!
**[22:07] ---**

THE DARK HYUNCKEL
**[02:07] ---**
It's arrived.
**[02:08] ---**
Vearn Palace!
**[02:11] ---**
They kept them tied up there all night?
They're inhumane!
**[02:17] ---**
*Hyunckel...*
**[02:19] ---**
Mr. Crocodine, we'll get you out of there!
**[02:33] ---**
It stopped.
**[02:44] ---**
The sun...
**[02:47] ---**
is now...
**[02:49] ---**
at its zenith, shining at its brightest.
**[02:57] ---**
It is noon.
**[03:04] ---**
Merle, are those
all of the enemy's forces?
**[03:10] ---**
Yes.
**[03:11] ---**
The Shadow Legion Commander
and armoured monsters...
**[03:15] ---**
There's 36 of them!
**[03:17] ---**
I sense a great amount of pressure
coming from Vearn Palace...
**[03:22] ---**
but that's all for the ground.
**[03:25] ---**
We should be able to handle
such a number...
**[03:28] ---**
excluding Mystvearn.
**[03:31] ---**
Hyunckel, I'm sure you haven't forgotten.
**[03:35] ---**
Will you drink the Dark Aura in
this chalice and serve me or not?
**[03:42] ---**
What do you choose?
**[03:44] ---**
If you want an answer, then free me!
**[03:49] ---**
Very well.
**[03:57] ---**
Remember, once you drink this it is done.
**[04:01] ---**
You will have sold
your soul to the devil again.
**[04:07] ---**
Don't do it, Hyunckel!
**[04:12] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[04:18] ---**
Crocodine...
**[04:19] ---**
don't forget... what I told you... please.
**[04:50] ---**
Hyunckel, I know you.
**[04:53] ---**
I'm sure you thought you'd pretend
to submit as a way to trick me.
**[04:58] ---**
Unfortunately, my Dark Aura is
not so easily overcome.
**[05:04] ---**
No matter what you intended,
you belong to me now.
**[05:27] ---**
What's going on?!
What happened to Sir Hyunckel?!
**[05:31] ---**
He drank from that strange cup
and completely changed!
**[05:36] ---**
It's Dark Aura!
**[05:38] ---**
What?!
**[05:39] ---**
I sense an evil presence from Hyunckel!
**[05:42] ---**
He's likely being affected
by the enemy's Dark Aura!
**[05:47] ---**
He accepted an evil influence?!
**[05:50] ---**
How could a Disciple of Avan do that?!
**[05:59] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[06:01] ---**
It feels good, doesn't it?
**[06:03] ---**
If told to behead someone,
**[06:05] ---**
you feel you could do it easily,
as if picking a flower, don't you?
**[06:13] ---**
As you should.
**[06:15] ---**
At last you are back where you belong.
**[06:18] ---**
Don't be ridiculous! He wouldn't lose
his righteous heart so easily!
**[06:24] ---**
Oh Crocodine.
**[06:26] ---**
Limited as it is, you have
the ability to manipulate Aura, too.
**[06:30] ---**
Looking at him, don't you sense it?
**[06:35] ---**
*I can't sense his Aura of Light!*
**[06:38] ---**
*He's completely enveloped in Dark Aura!*
**[06:43] ---**
*E-Even now, the last of Hyunckel's
Aura of Light is being consumed!*
**[06:51] ---**
It appears he underestimated my Dark Aura.
**[06:56] ---**
He assumed if he pretended to submit
and accepted my Aura,
**[07:00] ---**
then he could overcome it
with his own Aura of Light.
**[07:05] ---**
Such a fool!
**[07:07] ---**
There are some things in this world
that cannot be overcome!
**[07:12] ---**
The power of darkness has no limits!
**[07:18] ---**
Hyunckel, it appears your final gambit...
**[07:22] ---**
has ended in failure.
**[07:27] ---**
You still seem sluggish, Hyunckel.
**[07:32] ---**
The power of darkness
has healed your wounds.
**[07:36] ---**
The sluggishness is because
you still retain a shred of conscience.
**[07:42] ---**
Let me tell you how to become
a complete warrior again.
**[07:48] ---**
Take this and execute Crocodine.
**[07:53] ---**
Killing a former friend
will extinguish your conscience.
**[07:58] ---**
You'll lose your Aura of Light and again
become a true Dark Swordsman of Evil.
**[08:06] ---**
Now do it!
**[08:13] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[08:22] ---**
No! You can't go out there yet!
**[08:24] ---**
But Hyunckel is...!
**[08:26] ---**
We know that!
**[08:29] ---**
We're not supposed to charge
until Dai and the others rescue those two!
**[08:34] ---**
They can't rescue them like that!
**[08:39] ---**
Dammit!
**[08:45] ---**
*What can I do?!
Hyunckel is now an enemy!*
**[08:51] ---**
*Wait!*
**[08:52] ---**
Crocodine.
**[08:54] ---**
If you consider me a friend...
**[08:57] ---**
I need you to trust me no matter what.
**[09:04] ---**
*That's right! He's still fighting!*
**[09:08] ---**
*There's a desperate battle
raging inside of him!*
**[09:13] ---**
*I have...*
**[09:14] ---**
*I have to believe in him!*
**[09:19] ---**
Hyunckel! Hang in there!
**[09:21] ---**
Don't let the Dark Aura take you!
**[09:24] ---**
What's wrong? Kill!
Kill him!
**[09:31] ---**
I believe in you!
**[09:33] ---**
Even if I'm cut to shreds,
I'll believe in you to the very end!
**[09:40] ---**
So fight! Fight that evil within you!
**[09:44] ---**
Kill him, Hyunckel!
Don't listen to his nonsense!
**[09:48] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[09:50] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[10:01] ---**
What?!
**[10:17] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[10:21] ---**
He's... dead.
**[10:31] ---**
What a fool.
**[10:33] ---**
If he had just accepted it,
he could have returned to the Dark Army.
**[10:38] ---**
He couldn't endure the conflicting Auras
and it killed him.
**[10:44] ---**
Hyunckel's life energy has disappeared!
**[10:50] ---**
And now we can no longer gather
five Disciples of Avan.
**[10:56] ---**
What is Dai doing?!
I've waited long enough!
**[11:02] ---**
What are you doing?! Let go!
**[11:04] ---**
Don't you get it, boy?
**[11:06] ---**
The reason they haven't appeared
is because they understand Hyunckel.
**[11:12] ---**
What?
**[11:13] ---**
That's just who he is.
**[11:15] ---**
Life itself is but
one more weapon for him to wield.
**[11:20] ---**
Disappointing, but so be it.
**[11:24] ---**
Let me give you a companion
to take to the afterlife.
**[11:29] ---**
*Hyunckel!*
**[11:36] ---**
W-What?!
**[11:39] ---**
Impossible!
**[11:41] ---**
I feel really good, Mystvearn.
**[11:46] ---**
Right now I feel like
I could behead you easily.
**[11:53] ---**
As if...
**[11:59] ---**
picking a flower!
**[12:04] ---**
BLOODY SCRYDE
**[12:09] ---**
DARK PUPPETRY AURA HAND
**[12:13] ---**
Hyunckel...
**[12:14] ---**
He's back!
**[12:16] ---**
Impossible! I'm sure I felt
your life energy vanish!
**[12:21] ---**
Why are you still alive?!
**[12:23] ---**
It's really very simple.
**[12:26] ---**
Two opposing Auras
were battling inside of me.
**[12:30] ---**
And...
**[12:32] ---**
one of them won!
**[12:34] ---**
What you felt was the Aura that lost!
**[12:41] ---**
It can't be!
**[12:56] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[12:57] ---**
How is this possible?!
Why is your Aura of Light so powerful?!
**[13:02] ---**
It's true that my Aura of Light
was suppressed by your Dark Aura.
**[13:09] ---**
Overwhelmed by your evil power,
it was almost extinguished.
**[13:15] ---**
But, as a result,
my Aura of Light grew stronger!
**[13:20] ---**
My will not to give in to evil
made my Aura of Light even more powerful!
**[13:26] ---**
And in turn, it suppressed your Dark Aura!
**[13:30] ---**
How dare you!
That was your intent from the start!
**[13:34] ---**
You used my Dark Aura to
help boost your own power!
**[13:40] ---**
You once told me that abandoning
my Aura of darkness had made me weaker.
**[13:47] ---**
But it wasn't because I couldn't use
both opposing powers at the same time!
**[13:52] ---**
*When evil, I hated the power of light
that Avan had bestowed upon me.*
**[13:57] ---**
*When good, I sought to overcome
the power of darkness within me.*
**[14:02] ---**
*This rapidly boosted both Auras!*
**[14:06] ---**
*When you told me to accept your dark power*
**[14:09] ---**
*I took it as a final chance
to shine even brighter than before!*
**[14:15] ---**
That's absurd!
**[14:16] ---**
You're saying your Aura of Light
has actually suppressed my Dark Aura?!
**[14:23] ---**
There's no way you could do that!
**[14:27] ---**
Surely you already sense it.
**[14:29] ---**
The Dark Aura within me that has been
completely enveloped by my Aura of Light!
**[14:39] ---**
Silence!
**[15:02] ---**
Taking out Restless Armours bare-handed?!
**[15:11] ---**
Oh wow!
**[15:13] ---**
It's the power of Aura.
**[15:14] ---**
What?!
**[15:15] ---**
His overflowing Aura
has made his body harder than steel.
**[15:20] ---**
It seems he's powered up
beyond imagination.
**[15:24] ---**
You knew that was
Hyunckel's plan all along?
**[15:28] ---**
Pretty much.
**[15:29] ---**
It was a risky gamble,
but fortunately it worked.
**[15:34] ---**
I'm sure they think so, too.
**[15:37] ---**
Huh? Who's they?
**[15:40] ---**
How dare you...
**[15:42] ---**
How dare you...
My face shall not be touched!
**[15:48] ---**
Honestly, you're always
pushing yourself to the extreme!
**[15:53] ---**
How do you intend to make up
for scaring me half to death?!
**[15:57] ---**
Crocodine, I'll take care of these guys
and get you out of there.
**[16:02] ---**
How dare you!
**[16:05] ---**
I'm going to tear both of you apart
here and now!
**[16:10] ---**
"Both of you"?
**[16:12] ---**
Mystvearn, it looks like your senses dull
when you get emotional.
**[16:38] ---**
D-...
**[16:42] ---**
Dai!
**[16:45] ---**
So he still lives.
**[16:47] ---**
What did I tell you?
**[16:49] ---**
My fortune telling has never missed.
**[16:53] ---**
I sense spirit within him.
**[16:56] ---**
Like he's a whole different person.
**[17:02] ---**
Renewed your resolve?
**[17:04] ---**
Dai!
**[17:11] ---**
Oh! Popp! Maam! And even Princess Leona!
**[17:17] ---**
We tunneled in like you do, Big Guy.
**[17:19] ---**
We had to use
my fire magic instead, though.
**[17:23] ---**
Let me get those!
**[17:33] ---**
Dai, I'm surprised
you didn't jump the gun.
**[17:35] ---**
I knew right away.
**[17:38] ---**
I sensed the Aura of Light inside you
growing stronger.
**[17:45] ---**
We were worried at first, but we quickly
switched to an attack from underground!
**[17:50] ---**
I see. Thank you.
**[17:53] ---**
You believed in me, too.
**[17:59] ---**
It wasn't only Dai who
believed in you, Hyunckel.
**[18:05] ---**
Maam...
**[18:06] ---**
We wanted to charge the moment
you went all dark.
**[18:13] ---**
But she stopped us.
**[18:16] ---**
Hyunckel would never accept Dark Aura
if he didn't know he could beat it.
**[18:22] ---**
Let's trust him and see what happens.
**[18:26] ---**
Got it?
**[18:27] ---**
But I was right.
**[18:28] ---**
Yes. I made a vow.
**[18:31] ---**
I'd only ever fight with
the power of light.
**[18:37] ---**
Some of them can still fight!
**[18:45] ---**
Nova!
**[18:46] ---**
We've run out of patience, Dai!
**[18:49] ---**
Everybody's set to explode!
**[18:57] ---**
It's game time!
**[18:59] ---**
Everyone, charge!
**[19:12] ---**
We'll use them to blow off some steam!
**[19:16] ---**
Wait, why are you
leaving the fighting to them?
**[19:19] ---**
Well, it's all a little complicated.
**[19:23] ---**
Hyunckel, do you still have
your Insignia of Avan?
**[19:26] ---**
Of course.
**[19:28] ---**
They could kill me
and I wouldn't let go of it.
**[19:34] ---**
Hold it in your hand
and focus your will!
**[19:37] ---**
Focus... my will?
**[19:40] ---**
It's not anything difficult.
**[19:43] ---**
Just focus your thoughts
on what gives you the will to fight.
**[19:51] ---**
*I'm just the worst!*
**[19:54] ---**
*For a moment I actually hoped
that Hyunckel's Insignia wouldn't glow.*
**[19:59] ---**
*That if Hyunckel couldn't do it,
it'd let me off the hook.*
**[20:11] ---**
Whoa! The Insignia of Avan is glowing!
**[20:16] ---**
The Insignia must be responding
to your fortitude!
**[20:20] ---**
We're all set now!
**[20:23] ---**
We have five Disciples and five Insignias!
**[20:26] ---**
The Great Purification Spell
Kaglimmer is ready!
**[20:32] ---**
Hup!
**[20:38] ---**
Curse you Dai! Curse you Hyunckel!
**[20:40] ---**
You've humiliated me time and time again!
**[20:45] ---**
*What's wrong, Mystvearn?*
**[20:48] ---**
My Dark King!
**[20:49] ---**
Why are you so agitated?
**[20:52] ---**
With your power you could
wipe out all of them easily.
**[20:59] ---**
It's not as though their resistance
will gain them entry into Vearn Palace.
**[21:06] ---**
Take your time and show
those who would resist me
**[21:11] ---**
what true suffering really is.
**[21:14] ---**
Yes, my King! Forgive me!
**[21:18] ---**
As you command, I shall offer you...
**[21:22] ---**
the sight of them writhing in agony!
**[21:25] ---**
I shall tear you all apart!
**[21:28] ---**
Dark Puppetry Aura Decimation Field!
**[21:34] ---**
They've got... other things to do.
**[21:39] ---**
They don't have time for you.
**[21:44] ---**
If you want to play...
**[21:46] ---**
then I'll play with you, Mystvearn!
**[21:51] ---**
Y-You!
**[22:07] ---**
*To be honest I was clumsy*
**[22:07] ---**
*omoeba boku wa bukiyou de*
**[22:12] ---**
*And it took me forever to get here*
**[22:12] ---**

*I used even loneliness as a weapon*

*I searched the dungeon for a simple answer*

Rightness and kindness*
**[22:29] ---**
*tadashisa yasashisa nagedashite mo*
**[22:35] ---**
*I just want to be there for you*
**[22:35] ---**
*tada hitori kimi no mikata de itai*
**[22:41] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[22:41] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga*
**[22:47] ---**
*Is harder than any magic spell*
**[22:47] ---**
*ari to arayuru mahou yori muzukashikute*
**[22:53] ---**
*Even though you're so close to me*
**[22:53] ---**

*I love you*
**[22:59] ---**

**[23:01] ---**
*I finally realized it*

**[23:05] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[23:10] ---**

**[23:10] ---**
*Must be the reason I was born*
**[23:16] ---**
*shigamitsuku yoru furihodoite*
**[23:16] ---**
*I shake off the clinging night*
**[23:22] ---**
*ai ni iku*
**[23:22] ---**
*And go to see you*
**[23:25] ---**
*ima sugu kimi no moto e*
**[23:25] ---**
*Right now to where you are*
**[23:33] ---**
*The five Disciples of Avan gather at last.*
**[23:36] ---**
*The ritual of Kaglimmer begins,
with Leona at its center.*
**[23:40] ---**
*Mystvearn tries to stop the spell,
but Lon Beruk thwarts him.*
**[23:44] ---**
*Crocodine and the others fight to protect
the five Disciples from the Dark Army.*
**[23:50] ---**
*With everyone counting on them,
will the Great Purification Spell succeed?*

THE FIVE COLORS OF LIGHT
**[01:50] ---**
Charge!
**[02:20] ---**
Lon Beruk, what are you doing here?
**[02:24] ---**
Mystvearn, I see you have a mouth.
**[02:28] ---**
Why bother clamming up now?
**[02:30] ---**
Is there a reason
I shouldn't hear your voice?
**[02:36] ---**
Dai and Hyunckel are allowed to hear it,
but I'm not.
**[02:41] ---**
It appears your silence is not
of your own choice.
**[02:58] ---**
And here we are again.
Just like back then.
**[03:03] ---**
I forget how many decades ago it was.
**[03:10] ---**
*Nearly a century ago...*
**[03:14] ---**
*in Dark King Vearn's
Seventh Palace in the Underworld...*
**[03:39] ---**
What's wrong, Lon Beruk?
**[03:44] ---**
I'm leaving.
**[03:47] ---**
I should never have come here.
**[03:56] ---**
Wait a moment.
**[04:00] ---**
Lon Beruk.
**[04:02] ---**
I hold you in very high regard.
**[04:06] ---**
I would prefer if you would
serve me forever.
**[04:11] ---**
The Staff of Edacity you made
is truly my greatest weapon.
**[04:18] ---**
Your other weapons are
also magnificent.
**[04:21] ---**
True masterpieces from
the Craftsman of the Underworld.
**[04:26] ---**
It's the Staff of Edacity
that let me down.
**[04:30] ---**
If that thing is considered
my greatest masterpiece,
**[04:33] ---**
then it will quell my drive to create
the ultimate weapon.
**[04:38] ---**
I don't want to lose my touch.
**[04:41] ---**
Come now. Will you reconsider?
**[04:45] ---**
I refuse.
**[04:47] ---**
You may be Dark King Vearn,
the most powerful being in the Underworld,
**[04:52] ---**
but you can't bind my freedom.
**[04:55] ---**
Understandable.
**[04:56] ---**
You are worthy of saying such a thing.
**[05:00] ---**
You are strong enough to do so.
**[05:04] ---**
I already know.
**[05:06] ---**
I know you're one of the greatest
swordsmen in the Underworld.
**[05:11] ---**
And I know why you hide it
and work as a weaponsmith.
**[05:17] ---**
To be blunt,
now that I possess the Staff of Edacity,
**[05:21] ---**
all that I want is
your strength as a swordsman.
**[05:28] ---**
Look at the dark,
murky sky of our Underworld.
**[05:33] ---**
The battle to bring
true light to it is coming.
**[05:38] ---**
And for that, I want
as many powerful servants as possible.
**[05:45] ---**
I offer you the position
of commanding such a mighty army.
**[05:54] ---**
How about it?
**[06:00] ---**
My job is done. Farewell, Dark King.
**[06:05] ---**
Calm down. He will fight if pushed.
**[06:08] ---**
Even knowing he cannot
beat me in combat, he still defies me.
**[06:14] ---**
We'd only kill him.
**[06:16] ---**
That would be a waste.
**[06:20] ---**
But Darklings live a long time.
**[06:23] ---**
Perhaps he'll change his mind.
**[06:37] ---**
I can see you're out for blood.
**[06:42] ---**
Is that Vearn's will?
**[06:44] ---**
Or...
**[06:56] ---**
*W-Why won't he dodge?!*
**[07:03] ---**
I've insulted Vearn's generosity.
**[07:06] ---**
That's why I allowed that first strike.
**[07:09] ---**
This wound is my penance.
**[07:13] ---**
But if you intend to continue,
I won't hold back!
**[07:23] ---**
*This man defied King Vearn
for his own freedom.*
**[07:28] ---**
*So why does he side with
Dai and the humans?*
**[07:31] ---**
I don't need any more
wounds from you, Mystvearn!
**[07:39] ---**
*H-He's fast!*
**[07:48] ---**
I see. An ultimate Purification Spell
using five Disciples.
**[07:54] ---**
Where are you going?
**[07:56] ---**
To take down Mystvearn.
**[07:58] ---**
He's not going to just
let you cast Kaglimmer.
**[08:02] ---**
But we...
**[08:03] ---**
If I can at least hold him off
and buy you some time...
**[08:18] ---**
That's Mystvearn...
**[08:19] ---**
and Lon Beruk!
**[08:20] ---**
He came, too?!
**[08:36] ---**
He's evenly matched with Mystvearn?!
**[08:38] ---**
He did singlehandedly
trounce us after all!
**[08:43] ---**
Hey! This is our chance!
Let's get this over with!
**[08:47] ---**
Right!
**[08:48] ---**
While the others are buying us time!
**[08:54] ---**
Let's begin.
**[08:57] ---**
Ow, ow, ow! Why you!
**[08:59] ---**
Take that, and that!
**[09:04] ---**
Mr. Crocodine!
**[09:05] ---**
Ah! Crocodine!
**[09:07] ---**
Princess Leona filled me in!
**[09:10] ---**
I'll help clear out the riffraff
so we can cast Kaglimmer!
**[09:14] ---**
Listen up!
**[09:15] ---**
This is the former Beast King,
Mr. Crocodine! Everybody salute!
**[09:23] ---**
*Good grief. I'm already "the former"?*
**[09:26] ---**
Mr. Crocodine, we have
a new axe Lon Beruk made for you!
**[09:33] ---**
Oh?
**[09:35] ---**
Crocodine, swing that axe and cry out...
**[09:39] ---**
"Howl, Inferno!"
**[09:41] ---**
Howl, Inferno!
**[09:50] ---**
Whoa, this is...
**[09:52] ---**
That's Lon Beruk's special Great Axe!
**[09:57] ---**
Wow!
**[09:58] ---**
"Inferno" casts Frizz-type spells
and "Detonation" casts Bang-type ones!
**[10:03] ---**
It's exceptional!
**[10:07] ---**
Howl, Detonation!
**[10:13] ---**
Yes!
**[10:14] ---**
Great Axe, huh?
It's like using my own Avan Strash!
**[10:21] ---**
Oh! Garuda!
**[10:23] ---**
Old man, you can take it easy now!
**[10:25] ---**
Oh really?
**[10:28] ---**
I guess I'll take you up on that.
**[10:32] ---**
As if! I can't lay down for this!
**[10:37] ---**
Frizzle!
**[10:40] ---**
They're preparing for Kaglimmer!
**[10:44] ---**
Miss Amy?
**[10:54] ---**
This execution stage is
right under Vearn Palace.
**[10:59] ---**
It's perfect for the Circle of Magic.
**[11:02] ---**
Okay. Everyone stand on the circle
and form a pentagon.
**[11:12] ---**
Amy...
**[11:15] ---**
This is your Dark Armour Spear.
Lon Beruk repaired it.
**[11:19] ---**
It looks the same, but its attack
and defense have been greatly enhanced.
**[11:26] ---**
You're giving me the weapon
you once took from me?
**[11:32] ---**
It's better than you dying.
**[11:34] ---**
You'd fight without it, after all.
**[11:41] ---**
So fight...
**[11:43] ---**
and live!
**[11:51] ---**
Amdo!
**[12:07] ---**
GRAND CROSS
**[12:13] ---**
MEDROA
**[12:16] ---**
I remembered your words
while I was imprisoned.
**[12:19] ---**
Huh?
**[12:21] ---**
*You glared at me and told me
to stop walking gladly into death's arms.*
**[12:27] ---**
Your words made me want to keep going.
**[12:31] ---**
To grasp at the chance to keep living.
**[12:35] ---**
You have my thanks.
**[12:38] ---**
So I was actually able to help you.
**[12:43] ---**
But the fight's barely started.
**[12:46] ---**
You can thank me after we survive.
**[12:52] ---**
Amy, are you finished?
**[12:55] ---**
I'd like to explain the spell.
**[12:57] ---**
Right! I'm very sorry!
**[13:03] ---**
Miss Amy...
**[13:11] ---**
Put on your Insignias.
**[13:14] ---**
Kaglimmer is a powerful
Purification Spell on its own.
**[13:18] ---**
But with Mysticite...
**[13:20] ---**
*With a pentagon of five Insignias of Avan
making a Magic Circle,*
**[13:25] ---**
*the purification power is amplified.*
**[13:28] ---**
*If it works, it should stop Vearn Palace,*
**[13:32] ---**
*and nullify the magic field around it.*
**[13:36] ---**
It should allow us to invade Vearn Palace.
**[13:41] ---**
So what do we do?
Do we just stand here?
**[13:45] ---**
I'll be the one casting the spell.
**[13:48] ---**
All you need to do is increase
the power of your souls one by one.
**[13:53] ---**
Once we do that,
the light of our Mysticite should unite,
**[13:57] ---**
creating a pillar of light
that will reach Vearn Palace.
**[14:02] ---**
A pillar of light...
**[14:04] ---**
We'll join hands going clockwise.
**[14:08] ---**
When you turn comes, focus your thoughts
and pass them on to the next person.
**[14:16] ---**
*I'm the last.*
**[14:19] ---**
W-...
**[14:21] ---**
What if...
**[14:22] ---**
And I'm just asking...
**[14:25] ---**
If we can't gather the five lights...
**[14:28] ---**
what happens then?
**[14:30] ---**
Popp...
**[14:31] ---**
Don't say stuff like that!
**[14:35] ---**
Without the five lights...
**[14:37] ---**
Kaglimmer will use only my Magic Power.
**[14:41] ---**
It probably won't work on Vearn Palace.
**[14:45] ---**
I see.
**[14:47] ---**
We're all nervous, too.
**[14:49] ---**
We've never done this before.
Don't bother worrying... empty your mind.
**[14:56] ---**
I know that!
**[14:58] ---**
Okay! Let's do this then!
**[15:06] ---**
Northern Grand Blade!
**[15:12] ---**
You can't move when you're in pieces.
**[15:15] ---**
Howl, Inferno!
**[15:18] ---**
Crocodine!
**[15:19] ---**
Ah, Nova!
So you've cut most of them down!
**[15:22] ---**
Yes. There's only a few left.
**[15:27] ---**
Now! Everyone attack!
**[15:31] ---**
What happened to Mystvearn, their boss?
**[15:35] ---**
He's up there,
flashing every now and then.
**[15:57] ---**
That's a whole other level of battle!
**[15:59] ---**
Indeed. Lon's quite impressive.
**[16:05] ---**
Oh holy light,
with thy blessed power...
**[16:09] ---**
drive away the evil power of darkness.
**[16:47] ---**
Th-This is the pillar of light?
**[16:53] ---**
Your turn, Dai.
**[16:55] ---**
Uh... Er...
**[16:57] ---**
Amplify my thoughts...
and focus my mind...
**[17:01] ---**
Dai.
**[17:03] ---**
You should try emptying your mind.
**[17:07] ---**
It'll be easier that way.
**[17:25] ---**
It worked!
**[17:28] ---**
There it is! This blue light is
the light of my soul, right?!
**[17:32] ---**
That's right.
**[17:37] ---**
Okay. Next is Hyunckel.
**[17:54] ---**
*We're evenly matched.
Neither of us can win like this.*
**[17:59] ---**
*What are those pillars of light?!*
**[18:02] ---**
*They reach Vearn Palace!*
**[18:05] ---**
*Could it be...?!*
**[18:06] ---**
You're going nowhere, Mystvearn!
**[18:23] ---**
*It's... my turn.*
**[18:25] ---**
So long as I'm here,
you're stuck sparring with me.
**[18:30] ---**
You won't interfere with them!
**[18:36] ---**
How very foolish, Lon Beruk.
**[18:39] ---**
Did you think holding me at bay
would give these humans a chance?
**[18:45] ---**
What's wrong?
You're suddenly very chatty.
**[18:49] ---**
I thought you didn't want
me to hear your voice.
**[18:52] ---**
You may have knowledge of the Underworld,
**[18:56] ---**
but hearing my voice won't matter
to one who will soon be dead.
**[19:02] ---**
You're all going to die here.
**[19:05] ---**
What is that?!
**[19:10] ---**
This disgusting laugh...
**[19:18] ---**
So it's you, the Mystic Bishop Zaboera!
**[19:22] ---**
Dark Army Second-in-Command
is my title now.
**[19:28] ---**
Laboring for years can
sometimes yield such payoffs.
**[19:32] ---**
Save your prattle!
**[19:34] ---**
You can't turn the tide of battle now!
**[19:37] ---**
This time I'll give you
what you deserve at last!
**[19:42] ---**
Zaboera, this is your chance.
**[19:45] ---**
Do as planned and wipe out the humans.
**[19:50] ---**
Leave it to me, Commander Mystvearn.
**[19:53] ---**
Bang!
**[20:04] ---**
What is he up to?!
**[20:12] ---**
What are those?!
**[20:14] ---**
These are Magic Capsules,
the latest model of my Magic Cylinder!
**[20:19] ---**
Each can be loaded
with dozens of monsters!
**[20:25] ---**
What?!
**[20:26] ---**
And inside these ones
**[20:28] ---**
are powerful monsters that
none of you have ever encountered before!
**[20:33] ---**
What?!
**[20:34] ---**
You're all finished now!
**[20:38] ---**
Oh no!
**[20:39] ---**
Hurry, Popp!
**[20:41] ---**
Right!
**[20:46] ---**
*G-Gods!*
**[20:50] ---**
Come forth, monsters of the Underworld!
**[20:53] ---**
Gush!
**[21:33] ---**
Popp?
**[21:34] ---**
Popp?
**[21:38] ---**
What's wrong, Popp?!
**[21:41] ---**
I knew it...
**[21:43] ---**
I knew it wouldn't work!
**[21:56] ---**
I can't do it!
**[22:07] ---**
*To be honest I was clumsy*
**[22:07] ---**
*omoeba boku wa bukiyou de*
**[22:12] ---**
*And it took me forever to get here*
**[22:12] ---**
*shouganaikurai tomawarishita*
**[22:18] ---**
*I used even loneliness as a weapon*
**[22:18] ---**
*kodokukannsura mo buki ni shite*
**[22:24] ---**
*I searched the dungeon for a simple answer*
**[22:24] ---**
*tannjun na kotae wo sagashita dannjon*
**[22:30] ---**
*Even if I cast aside
Rightness and kindness*
**[22:30] ---**
*tadashisa yasashisa nagedashite mo*
**[22:35] ---**
*I just want to be there for you*
**[22:35] ---**
*tada hitori kimi no mikata de itai*
**[22:42] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[22:42] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga*
**[22:47] ---**
*Is harder than any magic spell*
**[22:47] ---**
*ari to arayuru mahou yori muzukashikute*
**[22:53] ---**
*Even though you're so close to me*
**[22:53] ---**
*konnani mo chikaku ni itanoni*
**[22:59] ---**
*I love you*
**[22:59] ---**
*aishiteiru*
**[23:02] ---**
*I finally realized it*
**[23:02] ---**
*imasara kizuitanosa*
**[23:05] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[23:05] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu tame ni*
**[23:10] ---**
*Must be the reason I was born*
**[23:10] ---**
*boku wa kitto umarete kitannda*
**[23:16] ---**
*I shake off the clinging night*
**[23:16] ---**
*shigamitsuku yoru furihodoite*
**[23:22] ---**
*And go to see you*
**[23:22] ---**
*ai ni iku*
**[23:25] ---**
*Right now to where you are*
**[23:25] ---**
*ima sugu kimi no moto e*
**[23:33] ---**
*Popp's Insignia of Avan won't glow.*
**[23:36] ---**
*Under Mystvearn's order, Zaboera unleashes
a horde of Underworld monsters*
**[23:42] ---**
*and the Battle of
Loroi Valley intensifies.*
**[23:45] ---**
*With Kaglimmer incomplete, nerves fray*
**[23:48] ---**
*and Zaboera's hand closes in.*
**[23:52] ---**

THE PERIL OF
THE GREAT PURIFICATION SPELL
**[01:53] ---**
*G-Gods!*
**[02:02] ---**
Popp?
**[02:03] ---**
Popp?
**[02:07] ---**
What's wrong, Popp?!
**[02:10] ---**
I knew it...
**[02:13] ---**
I knew it wouldn't work!
**[02:21] ---**
I can't do it!
**[02:40] ---**
I sense a tremendous number of monsters!
**[02:44] ---**
Popp!
**[02:45] ---**
Popp!
**[02:46] ---**
What's wrong, Popp?!
**[02:48] ---**
Popp!
**[02:50] ---**
Popp, it's okay!
**[02:52] ---**
If you... If you just
relax and try again...
**[02:56] ---**
It won't work.
**[02:57] ---**
Huh?
**[02:59] ---**
It's no good, Princess.
**[03:02] ---**
My Insignia of Avan won't glow
no matter how much I try!
**[03:08] ---**
I've tried time and time again!
**[03:12] ---**
It's never glowed!
**[03:15] ---**
I already know.
**[03:17] ---**
About the Insignias
and the power of our souls.
**[03:21] ---**
You all did it just by thinking...
**[03:25] ---**
but I can't even get mine to flicker!
**[03:28] ---**
*I trained desperately,
but nothing changed!*
**[03:34] ---**
I took this last make-or-break shot...
**[03:38] ---**
but it still didn't work!
**[03:41] ---**
I'm sorry, guys.
**[03:43] ---**
It's all... It's all my fault!
**[03:46] ---**
But my strength
just isn't enough for this!
**[03:54] ---**
Popp...
**[03:55] ---**
Master...
**[03:58] ---**
Why'd you give this to...
**[04:01] ---**
someone as inept as me?!
**[04:05] ---**
It's no good!
**[04:06] ---**
At this rate, even if Leona casts
Kaglimmer, it won't be strong enough!
**[04:12] ---**
*Popp...*
**[04:43] ---**
Those are...!
**[04:58] ---**
We're completely surrounded!
**[05:00] ---**
I've never seen these monsters.
**[05:03] ---**
How could I not sense all these monsters?!
**[05:06] ---**
Because they were in those Magic Capsules.
**[05:10] ---**
They set a trap for us.
**[05:13] ---**
Behold! The elite warriors
of the New Dark Army!
**[05:18] ---**
They're all monsters from the Underworld,
the home of us Darklings!
**[05:24] ---**
-What?!
-The Underworld?!
**[05:26] ---**
Monsters of the Underworld are far more
powerful than Surface World monsters!
**[05:32] ---**
You pieces of filth
don't stand a chance against them!
**[05:39] ---**
O-Oh yeah?!
**[05:41] ---**
They'll make quick work of you.
**[05:50] ---**
Kill them all!
**[05:56] ---**
Oh no! Even with Crocodine,
there's so many...!
**[05:59] ---**
We have to help!
**[06:01] ---**
Right!
**[06:02] ---**
Don't!
**[06:03] ---**
You must complete Kaglimmer!
**[06:07] ---**
If you move from there, the power
of the four of you will vanish!
**[06:12] ---**
Leave the fighting to us!
You just need one more to complete it!
**[06:17] ---**
Wait, Queen Flora! I...!
**[06:22] ---**
Popp, Avan would never choose
the wrong person.
**[06:27] ---**
Don't worry. We'll handle the Dark Army!
**[06:34] ---**
*There's no way you can handle them!*
**[06:37] ---**
*If we can't move, our forces...*
**[06:42] ---**
Crocodine, how many can you handle?
**[06:47] ---**
They may be unknown, powerful monsters,
but I can take 40 or 50 of them!
**[06:52] ---**
Dai and the others
have to focus on Kaglimmer!
**[06:56] ---**
We have to hold off the enemy ourselves!
**[06:59] ---**
Well said, Hero of the North!
**[07:02] ---**
As former head of the Furfang Legion
I should be able to handle about 100!
**[07:07] ---**
Let's finish this!
**[07:11] ---**
Attention!
**[07:12] ---**
All of you relax!
So what if they're from the Underworld?!
**[07:16] ---**
Show them the Beast King Commando spirit!
**[07:20] ---**
EVERYONE THINKS,
"CAPTAIN IS AMAZING!"
**[07:22] ---**
Ursula, Drohly, Nibbles,
hold off the enemy!
**[07:26] ---**
Terry, Drack-Drack, Rumbles,
attack from above!
**[07:30] ---**
Otoad, Spikey, Seari,
run around to cause confusion!
**[07:34] ---**
Gomechan, you're the messenger!
Tell Dai and the others to hurry!
**[07:43] ---**
Don't worry. Mr. Beast is right there!
**[07:51] ---**
Look at his bravery!
**[07:53] ---**
Everybody, follow Mr. Beast!
**[08:01] ---**
Whoa!
**[08:05] ---**
Listen! Don't try to win!
**[08:08] ---**
Be a wall!
**[08:10] ---**
All we have to do is hold them off
while the Princess completes her spell!
**[08:16] ---**
Let's go!
**[08:30] ---**
Stop!
**[08:31] ---**
Let me tell you the same thing
you once said to me, Lon Beruk.
**[08:36] ---**
So long as the two of us are tied up here,
you have no hope of victory!
**[08:41] ---**
The tables have turned.
**[08:44] ---**
*What the hell is taking so long?!*
**[08:57] ---**
Yeah. We already know.
**[08:59] ---**
Popp, everyone is trying to hold
the monster army at bay!
**[09:04] ---**
Hurry! You have to try again! Popp!
**[09:09] ---**
Princess, let's make a tactical retreat!
**[09:16] ---**
It's no good.
**[09:19] ---**
No matter how long I try here,
I don't think it'll work.
**[09:23] ---**
We've rescued Hyunckel. If we retreat now
and try again when we're ready...
**[09:29] ---**
Popp, I told you.
There's no second chance.
**[09:34] ---**
Having come this far, our enemy will never
let us approach Vearn Palace again.
**[09:41] ---**
This is our last chance to cast Kaglimmer.
**[09:44] ---**
But I'm not...
**[09:46] ---**
Besides, if you run now,
your Insignia will never glow.
**[09:51] ---**
The soul's power makes Mysticite glow.
There's no difficult technique to it.
**[09:57] ---**
The problem is inside of you.
**[10:00] ---**
If you choose to run now,
your soul will have lost.
**[10:05] ---**
Your Insignia will never glow
no matter what.
**[10:11] ---**
*Why?! Why can't Popp do it?!*
**[10:14] ---**
*He has such a kind and honorable soul!*
**[10:22] ---**
Then...
**[10:25] ---**
Then just give this thing
to somebody else!
**[10:29] ---**
Popp?!
**[10:30] ---**
Popp?!
**[10:31] ---**
I'm not... I'm not like any of you!
**[10:36] ---**
I'm not royalty
or any kind of born warrior!
**[10:43] ---**
Popp?!
**[10:52] ---**
MEDROA
**[10:57] ---**
DARK INCENSE
**[11:02] ---**
Courage, Fortitude, Justice, Love...!
**[11:06] ---**
What else is there?!
**[11:08] ---**
A power unique to my soul?
Do I really have that?!
**[11:13] ---**
If so, tell me what it is!
**[11:16] ---**
If there's some way to do this
I'll do whatever it takes!
**[11:19] ---**
If you guys have the answer then tell me!
**[11:25] ---**
Popp...
**[11:26] ---**
Please, Princess.
**[11:28] ---**
I can't bear to see anyone die for me!
**[11:34] ---**
We all will die anyways.
**[11:37] ---**
Along with all the people
of the Surface World.
**[11:41] ---**
Clear your mind, Popp.
**[11:44] ---**
I was once steeped in evil,
and yet my Insignia now glows.
**[11:49] ---**
You've pursued justice.
There's no way you'll fail.
**[11:53] ---**
Yeah! You gave me
the final bit of courage I needed, Popp!
**[11:57] ---**
Popp, I believe in you.
**[12:00] ---**
I know you can do it.
**[12:03] ---**
I know how strong your soul is.
**[12:08] ---**
No matter the odds, you've always stood
strong. I admire you more than anyone!
**[12:15] ---**
I...
**[12:17] ---**
I...
**[12:19] ---**
I don't want admiration from you!
**[12:28] ---**
Go! Go!
**[12:30] ---**
Hm?
**[12:31] ---**
*Those five...*
**[12:33] ---**
*They must be forming up for
some kind of spell of light.*
**[12:41] ---**
*One isn't glowing. It's that Mage brat!*
**[12:46] ---**
*That's it!*
**[12:48] ---**
*If I can put a stop to that spell
while crushing the remaining human forces,*
**[12:54] ---**
*it will be an even greater
contribution to King Vearn!*
**[12:58] ---**
*If I do that, no matter how much
that Mystvearn despises me,*
**[13:04] ---**
*King Vearn will accept me!*
**[13:09] ---**
Let's finish him with this.
**[13:12] ---**
A life falls for my bright future!
**[13:17] ---**
Everyone, fight with
your hearts of justice!
**[13:28] ---**
*Popp, cast aside your doubt!*
**[13:30] ---**
*You are a true Disciple of Avan!*
**[13:35] ---**
Why...
**[13:37] ---**
Why do you always say such things?!
**[13:41] ---**
I was...
**[13:42] ---**
I was just expressing how I feel!
**[13:46] ---**
*It's because he's in love with you, Maam.*
**[13:51] ---**
*And yet, to be told what you feel for him
is just admiration...*
**[13:57] ---**
*Is there... Is there anything I can do?!*
**[14:01] ---**
*Any little thing for Popp in his plight!*
**[14:05] ---**
*Is there any way I can be useful to Popp?*
**[14:11] ---**
*What is this evil power?!*
**[14:14] ---**
Where?! Where is it?!
**[14:19] ---**
*A horrid mass
of malice and Dark Power...!*
**[14:27] ---**
This Venom Chain has been steeped
in my Dark Power,
**[14:31] ---**
making it a bullet to pierce my enemies.
**[14:33] ---**
Even just a scratch on the body
is enough for its deadly poison to kill.
**[14:40] ---**
It may not work on those four
bathed in holy light,
**[14:44] ---**
but it will be fatal to him!
**[14:49] ---**
Up there!
**[14:50] ---**
Come, Popp. This isn't the time to argue.
**[14:54] ---**
Try again.
**[14:55] ---**
That's right, Popp!
I don't believe that you can't do it!
**[15:00] ---**
Hurry!
**[15:01] ---**
Popp!
**[15:10] ---**
You think too much of me.
**[15:13] ---**
If I run now, you won't have
a reason to keep standing here, will you?
**[15:21] ---**
Popp!
**[15:22] ---**
I don't have it in me.
**[15:26] ---**
I just...
**[15:28] ---**
I just can't stand watching others
get hurt because of me!
**[15:33] ---**
If this makes you think
less of me, so be it!
**[15:37] ---**
Now!
**[15:41] ---**
Somebody, stop that projectile!
**[15:44] ---**
Stop it!
**[15:51] ---**
Yes!
**[16:16] ---**
M--
**[16:20] ---**
Merle!
**[16:21] ---**
No!
**[16:22] ---**
Dammit! That little girl got in the way!
**[16:28] ---**
You bastard!
**[16:30] ---**
Somebody! A Heal spell!
She needs a Heal spell!
**[16:33] ---**
Anybody!
**[16:35] ---**
I'll do it!
**[16:36] ---**
Wait.
**[16:37] ---**
Merle!
**[16:39] ---**
None of you must move.
**[16:42] ---**
Merle...
**[16:43] ---**
I'm beyond help now.
**[16:47] ---**
Don't let your Circle of Magic
go to waste because of me.
**[16:52] ---**
I know Popp will be the fifth star.
**[16:58] ---**
Merle, why?! Why did you...
**[17:01] ---**
Why did you do this?!
**[17:03] ---**
Because you were suffering.
**[17:07] ---**
I wanted to help.
**[17:09] ---**
This weapon was aimed at you.
**[17:14] ---**
I'm the only one who saw it.
**[17:16] ---**
But you didn't have to be a shield for me!
**[17:21] ---**
Not for someone worthless like me!
**[17:24] ---**
Why do you have to die for me?!
**[17:32] ---**
You idiot!
**[17:34] ---**
You're so thick!
**[17:36] ---**
Merle believes in you more than anyone!
**[17:40] ---**
That's because she's in love with you!
**[17:47] ---**
How could you, Princess.
I wanted to tell him myself someday.
**[17:54] ---**
Merle...
**[17:56] ---**
No... That's not true.
**[17:59] ---**
I doubt I'd ever be able to say it.
**[18:01] ---**
I don't have the courage.
**[18:07] ---**
Popp, I've always loved you.
**[18:10] ---**
From the first time we met.
**[18:13] ---**
*You always act like a clown,
but you're so strong inside.*
**[18:19] ---**
*No matter your suffering,
your fear, or your sadness...*
**[18:24] ---**
*you always, always overcome it in the end.*
**[18:27] ---**
*For someone withdrawn like me,
you are my inspiration.*
**[18:34] ---**
But I couldn't say it.
**[18:37] ---**
I followed you so I could be near you,
but I could never say how I felt.
**[18:46] ---**
I was so afraid that doing so
would ruin what relationship we had.
**[18:53] ---**
I always hated how weak I was.
**[19:00] ---**
But look at me now.
**[19:02] ---**
For the first time,
I've been useful to you.
**[19:09] ---**
Merle!
**[19:11] ---**
Oh no! The wound's too deep
and she's been poisoned!
**[19:15] ---**
Even a Fullheal spell couldn't...
**[19:17] ---**
Just cast Heal on her!
**[19:19] ---**
Popp...
**[19:22] ---**
Will you grant my last request?
**[19:25] ---**
I know the answer.
It's just a selfish request.
**[19:30] ---**
Tell me who it is
that you're in love with.
**[19:37] ---**
I already know who it is.
**[19:40] ---**
And that it's not me.
**[19:42] ---**
But I want to hear you say it.
**[19:46] ---**
That way I can give up.
**[19:51] ---**
That way, when I'm reborn again...
**[19:56] ---**
maybe I can be someone
with bravery like you.
**[20:16] ---**
I'm sorry, Merle.
**[20:18] ---**
I...
**[20:20] ---**
I'm...
**[20:24] ---**
I'm in love with Maam!
**[20:45] ---**
My Insignia of Avan! It's glowing!
**[20:49] ---**
Why?! Why is my Insignia...?!
**[20:52] ---**
Is it...?!
**[20:53] ---**
I don't have the courage.
**[20:57] ---**
*That's it. The power of my soul...*
**[21:01] ---**
*was Courage!*
**[21:04] ---**
*Then it wasn't Dai!*
**[21:07] ---**
*The one with the soul of Courage was Popp!*
**[21:11] ---**
*I was just like Merle.*
**[21:13] ---**
*I was afraid of ruining things
with Maam and the others.*
**[21:18] ---**
Merle, look! My Insignia...
**[21:29] ---**
No! Merle! Please! Open your eyes!
**[21:33] ---**
You can't die! You can't!
**[21:36] ---**
Please don't die for someone like me!
**[21:47] ---**
Popp's a Mage,
and yet he's using healing energy?!
**[21:52] ---**
Like...
**[21:54] ---**
Like a Sage!
**[22:07] ---**
*To be honest I was clumsy*
**[22:07] ---**
*omoeba boku wa bukiyou de*
**[22:12] ---**
*And it took me forever to get here*
**[22:12] ---**

*Even if I cast aside

**[22:35] ---**
*I just want to be there for you*

**[22:42] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[22:42] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga*
**[22:47] ---**
*Is harder than any magic spell*
**[22:47] ---**

*Even though you're so close to me*

*Must be the reason I was born*
**[23:10] ---**
*boku wa kitto umarete kitannda*
**[23:17] ---**
*I shake off the clinging night*
**[23:17] ---**

*And go to see you*

*ima sugu kimi no moto e*

*Thanks to Merle,
the power of Popp's soul awakens.*
**[23:38] ---**
*His Insignia of Avan glows with the color
of Courage, and the Pillar of Light rises.*
**[23:43] ---**
*The Disciples of Avan
restart the ritual to cast Kaglimmer.*
**[23:47] ---**
*In Vearn Palace, someone awaits them
that not even Dark King Vearn expected.*

THE LAST CHALLENGE
**[01:56] ---**
No! Merle! Please! Open your eyes!
**[02:00] ---**
You can't die! You can't!
**[02:03] ---**
Please don't die for someone like me!
**[02:14] ---**
Popp's a Mage,
and yet he's using healing energy?!
**[02:20] ---**
Like...
**[02:22] ---**
Like a Sage!
**[02:30] ---**
What?!
**[02:33] ---**
How can that brat have
that much Magic Power?!
**[02:37] ---**
What happened?!
**[02:40] ---**
You won't interfere any further!
**[02:47] ---**
She's alive! Her heart is beating!
**[02:51] ---**
The poison's gone! She just might live!
**[02:55] ---**
It's thanks to Popp's
immense healing energy.
**[02:59] ---**
It's stronger than my Zing spell.
It could be Kazing-level.
**[03:04] ---**
Oh wow, Popp!
**[03:08] ---**
Miss Amy, don't let her die! Please!
**[03:12] ---**
Right!
**[03:13] ---**
Okay! Let's do this!
**[03:18] ---**
This is for Merle! Come on everyone!
**[03:55] ---**
Yes! It worked!
**[03:57] ---**
A green light.
**[04:00] ---**
This light of Courage is Merle's.
**[04:04] ---**
She was far braver than I ever was.
**[04:10] ---**
I'm not...
**[04:12] ---**
I'm not letting her down!
**[04:28] ---**
At last.
**[04:29] ---**
They did it! Five pillars of light!
**[04:33] ---**
Now it shall shine!
The ultimate Purification Spell!
**[04:48] ---**
Kaglimmer!
**[05:12] ---**
What's this?
**[05:16] ---**
Popp, now!
**[05:19] ---**
Zoom!
**[05:35] ---**
Yes!
**[05:37] ---**
Yes! They did it!
**[05:45] ---**
Those guys...
**[05:46] ---**
They've all gone to face the Dark King.
**[05:51] ---**
They finally did it.
**[05:58] ---**
Go, mighty Heroes! Defeat the Dark King!
**[06:02] ---**
Justice prevails!
**[06:08] ---**
Everyone, form up around
the Circle of Magic!
**[06:12] ---**
The enemy monsters will be weaker
around there!
**[06:15] ---**
We'll regroup and defend this position!
**[06:19] ---**
Yes!
**[06:30] ---**
It worked. Where are we?
**[06:32] ---**
This is where we once fought
and lost to Vearn.
**[06:37] ---**
It's the tip of Vearn Palace.
**[06:40] ---**
It was pretty torn up,
but it's been fixed.
**[06:45] ---**
Guys.
**[06:47] ---**
I'm not going to make any lame excuses!
**[06:50] ---**
I'll make up for
the trouble I caused by fighting!
**[07:01] ---**
Maam, try to understand.
**[07:04] ---**
Popp's been in love with you
since he met you.
**[07:09] ---**
He's worked really hard
to come all this way.
**[07:14] ---**
Part of that was probably for you.
**[07:18] ---**
Th-This is all too sudden
to take in right now!
**[07:25] ---**
I'm not ready!
**[07:30] ---**
Hey Leona, maybe we should all
stick close together.
**[07:34] ---**
It's the enemy stronghold so...
**[07:36] ---**
Dai! Why can't you put
that aside for now?!
**[07:40] ---**
It's just I can't handle
this sort of mood!
**[07:44] ---**
But we certainly don't have time to waste.
Let's hurry, Dai!
**[07:49] ---**
Come on! Which is it?!
**[07:55] ---**
Kaglimmer...
**[07:57] ---**
An ancient gift from the God of Humans.
**[08:01] ---**
They managed to dig up
quite an interesting little trick.
**[08:06] ---**
King Vearn, are you alright?
**[08:11] ---**
I feel a slight effect,
but it's not suppressing my Magic Power.
**[08:17] ---**
However, I can't move Vearn Palace now.
**[08:21] ---**
And its field is gone.
**[08:24] ---**
The transfer of my Magic Power
into Vearn Palace is likely being blocked.
**[08:29] ---**
There'll be more annoying guests now.
**[08:33] ---**
I suppose this calls for me.
**[08:37] ---**
Wait a minute. We have other guests.
**[08:42] ---**
Ah... This Aura. I remember this.
**[08:48] ---**
So that's your move...
**[09:04] ---**
Hadlar!
**[09:20] ---**
Hadlar! What did you do with them?!
**[09:22] ---**
Sorry, but they'll have to face
the Royal Guard.
**[09:29] ---**
What do you want?!
**[09:31] ---**
I have but one wish.
**[09:34] ---**
A one-on-one duel against you!
That's all I want!
**[09:38] ---**
A-A duel with me?!
**[09:50] ---**
KAGLIMMER
**[09:55] ---**
ULTRA COMBUSTION SLASH
**[10:01] ---**
Dammit! What was that?!
**[10:05] ---**
Is this somewhere else in Vearn Palace?!
**[10:09] ---**
Exactly.
**[10:12] ---**
This is the tail section of Vearn Palace.
**[10:16] ---**
My Zoom spell brought you here.
**[10:19] ---**
You're the knight, Sigma!
**[10:21] ---**
I'm honored you remember me.
**[10:24] ---**
We don't want any interference
while Lord Hadlar settles things with Dai.
**[10:31] ---**
I shall be dealing with you.
**[10:34] ---**
Then Maam and the others...
**[10:38] ---**
Like yourself,
they're somewhere in the citadel.
**[10:51] ---**
*This is the rear right wing.*
**[10:54] ---**
This is exciting, Hyunckel.
**[10:58] ---**
Hym...
**[10:59] ---**
We both managed to survive
and now we fight again.
**[11:04] ---**
Seeing your metal face
doesn't make me feel anything.
**[11:09] ---**
What a boring response.
**[11:12] ---**
I don't have time.
**[11:17] ---**
Just fight already!
**[11:19] ---**
Very well then!
Let me grant your wish!
**[11:27] ---**
*The queen, Albinass...*
**[11:30] ---**
*The strongest of the Royal Guard!*
**[11:34] ---**
How unfortunate for you.
To have to face me alone.
**[11:39] ---**
The plan just ended up this way.
Don't hold it against us.
**[11:46] ---**
So this is your plan to assure victory.
**[11:50] ---**
I saw Sigma take Popp
and Hym take Hyunckel.
**[11:55] ---**
With a mirror that can reflect spells,
Sigma took Popp.
**[11:58] ---**
And Hym has the most experience
fighting Hyunckel.
**[12:03] ---**
That leaves you against me.
**[12:09] ---**
Your analysis of our strategy is correct.
**[12:12] ---**
Although you made one slight error.
**[12:16] ---**
Aside from Dai, our only real threats
are Popp and Hyunckel.
**[12:21] ---**
My job is to take on everyone else.
**[12:25] ---**
I was supposed to kidnap
that other girl who was with you,
**[12:30] ---**
but that strange creature interfered.
**[12:34] ---**
Strange creature?
**[12:38] ---**
Listen, Dai!
**[12:39] ---**
Now we shall lay everything on the line
for a final man-to-man showdown!
**[12:47] ---**
Hold it!
**[12:49] ---**
Stop right there!
**[12:51] ---**
They missed one of them.
**[12:54] ---**
Leona...
**[12:56] ---**
Gomechan!
**[12:58] ---**
When the light hit us,
Gomechan popped out!
**[13:09] ---**
Gomechan protected me
from the enemy's spell.
**[13:12] ---**
It looks like the Zoom spell
brought all of us here.
**[13:16] ---**
I see.
**[13:20] ---**
Anyhow, Dai, you can't accept
such a stupid duel!
**[13:26] ---**
Hadlar, that goes for you, too!
**[13:29] ---**
You turned against Vearn, didn't you?!
**[13:31] ---**
Fighting Dai here will only serve Vearn!
**[13:36] ---**
If you want to settle things,
then just wait for another time!
**[13:41] ---**
That's not possible!
**[13:46] ---**
I no longer... have any time left.
**[13:54] ---**
*That's right.*
**[13:55] ---**
*Hadlar is...*
**[14:07] ---**
It looks like he's not backing down.
**[14:11] ---**
Then I'll help!
**[14:13] ---**
Leona, get back!
**[14:16] ---**
W-What are you talking about, Dai?!
You don't have to go along with it!
**[14:22] ---**
Together we should...
**[14:23] ---**
Yow!
**[14:31] ---**
Dai...
**[14:34] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[14:36] ---**
But things are going to get hotter.
**[14:40] ---**
So I need you to back away.
**[14:42] ---**
Hadlar is already beyond saving.
**[14:45] ---**
Huh?!
**[14:47] ---**
Superior Beings have instant regeneration,
but he's still wounded.
**[14:54] ---**
Hadlar has little time left.
**[14:57] ---**
Yet he's choosing to risk what remains
of his life to fight for his honor.
**[15:05] ---**
And he's chosen me as his opponent.
**[15:10] ---**
I know we have to defeat Vearn.
**[15:14] ---**
I'd rather not fight either.
**[15:17] ---**
But...
**[15:19] ---**
if I don't accept his challenge...
**[15:22] ---**
I feel like I won't be able to
call myself a man.
**[15:27] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[15:29] ---**
You can yell at me later.
**[15:37] ---**
*Honestly...*
**[15:38] ---**
*how did he grow up this fast?*
**[15:52] ---**
Hadlar, I'll take you on
with every ounce of my might!
**[15:58] ---**
Thank you.
**[16:02] ---**
Watch this, Dark King Vearn!
This will be Hadlar's last battle!
**[16:08] ---**
But know that none shall be
allowed to interfere!
**[16:12] ---**
Doing so will cost you your life!
**[16:17] ---**
Very well, Hadlar.
**[16:19] ---**
Fight to your heart's content.
**[16:23] ---**
May you have no regrets.
**[16:26] ---**
Hadlar, aren't you being weakened?
**[16:32] ---**
You mean the Kaglimmer spell?
**[16:35] ---**
I feel some effect,
but for someone as strong as me...
**[16:46] ---**
As you can see, I'm perfectly fine!
**[16:50] ---**
I see. I guess that means
Dark King Vearn is as well.
**[16:54] ---**
The only thing being stalled
by the spell is Vearn Palace.
**[16:59] ---**
Vearn's Magic Power remains unaffected.
**[17:02] ---**
Too bad for you.
**[17:04] ---**
No, I'm actually relieved.
**[17:07] ---**
I'd hate for you to be handicapped
by the Kaglimmer spell!
**[17:14] ---**
How very touching, you little brat.
**[17:19] ---**
Here goes!
**[17:22] ---**
Okay!
**[17:25] ---**
We should probably get farther away.
**[17:28] ---**
Let's go, Gomechan!
**[17:49] ---**
It has begun.
**[17:51] ---**
The duel between Lord Hadlar
and the Hero Dai.
**[17:54] ---**
A duel...
**[17:56] ---**
Lord Hadlar is beyond the help
of any healing spell.
**[18:01] ---**
His monster body will only decay.
**[18:04] ---**
To use the last of his life
in a fight against the Hero Dai,
**[18:10] ---**
a fair fight against his chosen rival,
is Lord Hadlar's wish.
**[18:18] ---**
Listen to me.
**[18:20] ---**
My body won't hold up any longer.
**[18:24] ---**
I have chosen the Hero
as my final opponent.
**[18:31] ---**
Lord Hadlar!
**[18:33] ---**
I have no desire
to fight for the Dark King.
**[18:37] ---**
But I cannot side with
Dai's party, either.
**[18:42] ---**
I'm the one who took
what was most precious from them.
**[18:49] ---**
That leaves me but one path left!
**[18:53] ---**
To fight the one
who drives me the most
**[18:57] ---**
and leave my final mark!
**[19:00] ---**
And that opponent is not the Dark King.
**[19:04] ---**
B-But...
**[19:06] ---**
What are you hesitating for Albinass?!
**[19:09] ---**
If we don't go through with this
**[19:12] ---**
we'll be nothing but losers, and
Block and Fenbren will have died in vain!
**[19:19] ---**
If we don't defeat our rivals and show
the honor of the Hadlar Royal Guard
**[19:25] ---**
how will we face them in the afterlife?!
**[19:28] ---**
Let's go out in a blaze of glory!
**[19:30] ---**
We'll defeat the Heroes
and then fight the Dark King.
**[19:34] ---**
We'll show all of them!
**[19:37] ---**
Hym...
**[19:38] ---**
I think you resemble me the most.
**[20:29] ---**
Th-Then you're sacrificing yourselves
in order to grant Hadlar his last wish?!
**[20:36] ---**
Hym and Sigma and you as well?!
**[20:44] ---**
Albinass, let's stop this.
We shouldn't be fighting.
**[20:50] ---**
Stop this?
**[20:51] ---**
That's right!
How you all feel for Hadlar...
**[20:55] ---**
that's no different from
how we feel about our friends!
**[20:59] ---**
We may be enemies, but I can't fight
someone who feels that way!
**[21:03] ---**
A fight between us is pointless!
**[21:10] ---**
Please, Albinass!
**[21:11] ---**
If you all truly care for one another,
then now is when we should stop fighting!
**[21:18] ---**
We'll help you as much as we can!
**[21:21] ---**
That's why...!
**[21:29] ---**
Maam, I'm so glad you feel that way.
**[21:34] ---**
Albinass...
**[21:36] ---**
I'm so glad you're the kind of
naive simpleton that I despise.
**[21:41] ---**
Now I can kill you without mercy!
**[21:47] ---**
Needle Thousand!

THE CLASH OF LOVE
**[01:50] ---**
Needle Thousand!
**[02:10] ---**
I have no intention of sacrificing myself!
**[02:15] ---**
I intend to save Lord Hadlar instead!
**[02:20] ---**
Save?
**[02:21] ---**
At this rate, Lord Hadlar will die.
No one can stop that.
**[02:27] ---**
But King Vearn's Supercharged Dark Magic
may be able to save Lord Hadlar.
**[02:34] ---**
I am going to defeat all of you myself
and then go to King Vearn to beg a favor.
**[02:41] ---**
So that he will save Lord Hadlar!
**[02:45] ---**
Is that something you...
**[02:47] ---**
Yes, this is of my own volition.
I'm sure Lord Hadlar will be angry.
**[02:54] ---**
But Lord Hadlar's survival
is my greatest wish!
**[03:00] ---**
Albinass...
**[03:02] ---**
If you feel sympathy,
then stop resisting and die quickly...
**[03:08] ---**
oh, kind little Maam.
**[03:11] ---**
Needle Thousand.
**[03:32] ---**
You're like a rat.
**[03:34] ---**
But I can't waste any more time
on the likes of you!
**[03:38] ---**
The queen is a piece that rarely moves.
**[03:44] ---**
But I'll show you the form I take
when I fight at full strength!
**[04:00] ---**
*Hands?!*
**[04:06] ---**
So that's your true form?!
**[04:09] ---**
The queen is the most powerful
piece in chess.
**[04:12] ---**
In order to hold back that power
I normally disable my hands and feet.
**[04:20] ---**
Now that I've taken this form,
you have no chance of winning!
**[04:30] ---**
So fast!
**[04:37] ---**
My best spell is Kasizz.
**[04:40] ---**
Needle Thousand works by fragmenting
this spell and emitting it from my body.
**[04:48] ---**
But when I use my hands,
I can focus the energy in one spot.
**[04:53] ---**
I call it Legionsphere!
**[05:36] ---**
Midheal will hardly delay the inevitable.
**[05:40] ---**
*It's strong! Too strong!*
**[05:43] ---**
*With that much power, Albinass
might really defeat all of us alone.*
**[05:48] ---**
*But...*
**[05:51] ---**
Please, Albinass...
**[05:53] ---**
What is it?
**[05:55] ---**
I don't want to fight you!
**[05:58] ---**
Please reconsider!
**[06:00] ---**
If you're going to beg for your life,
at least admit it.
**[06:04] ---**
The emotion that drives you
to such a decision...
**[06:08] ---**
It can't just be loyalty, can it?!
**[06:13] ---**
What you...
**[06:15] ---**
What you feel for Hadlar is...
**[06:20] ---**
Are you going to say that I love him?
**[06:24] ---**
Spare me your nonsense.
I am neither male nor female.
**[06:29] ---**
I am the queen! A mere chess piece!
**[06:33] ---**
A piece is a tool of war!
It does not deserve to love anyone!
**[06:37] ---**
Albinass!
**[06:38] ---**
Silence! Stop trying to buy time
to heal yourself!
**[06:58] ---**
That's good. Stand still, just like that.
**[07:02] ---**
*It's no good!
No amount of convincing will work!*
**[07:08] ---**
*They're lost in their own emotions
and beyond reason!*
**[07:14] ---**
*What can I... What can I do?*
**[07:19] ---**
Good girl, Maam. Now go to the afterlife.
**[07:23] ---**
Legionsphere!
**[07:31] ---**
*Maam...*
**[07:33] ---**
*Maam...*
**[07:35] ---**
But Maam...
**[07:38] ---**
there are times when love and kindness
aren't enough to protect people.
**[07:44] ---**
Just as strength without justice
is powerless,
**[07:48] ---**
so too is justice without strength.
**[07:52] ---**
*That's right!*
**[07:54] ---**
*I can't let myself be defeated here!*
**[07:58] ---**
*That's right. I also...*
**[08:05] ---**
I also have...!
**[08:23] ---**
Amdo!
**[08:35] ---**
Albinass, I will defeat you!
**[08:39] ---**
I also have people precious to me
that I have to protect.
**[08:46] ---**
Just like you do!
**[08:48] ---**
That's Lon Beruk's...
**[08:50] ---**
That's right! Like Hyunckel's weapon,
this Dark Armour Fist turns into armour!
**[08:56] ---**
And it makes me
completely immune to magic!
**[09:00] ---**
Until now, I couldn't
bring myself to use it...
**[09:05] ---**
because it's far too powerful!
**[09:09] ---**
But I can't allow you to defeat me here!
**[09:14] ---**
I'll fight to the fullest, too...
**[09:17] ---**
Albinass!
**[09:21] ---**
REFRACTOR FIST
**[09:26] ---**
NEEDLE THOUSAND
**[09:29] ---**
Ridiculous! Take this!
**[09:37] ---**
*This is why Lon Beruk told me
to wear it on my non-dominant hand!*
**[09:42] ---**
*It especially enhances
the defense of the side it's on!*
**[09:46] ---**
*And with this Metal Fist...!*
**[09:51] ---**
*It works!*
**[09:52] ---**
*Even against Orichalcum, I can shatter it
if I have this much speed and hardness!*
**[10:03] ---**
What?!
**[10:04] ---**
Got you!
**[10:17] ---**
Did you think you could win
just by wielding that?
**[10:26] ---**
Why can't I...?!
**[10:45] ---**
*So fast... At this rate, I'll lose!*
**[10:50] ---**
*But Albinass is made of Orichalcum.*
**[10:53] ---**
*My Refractor Fist won't work!*
**[10:56] ---**
*I'll use the other skill
Grand Master taught me!*
**[11:00] ---**
*The Warrior Master Style
Tiger Shatter Fist!*
**[11:04] ---**
This attack is the most physically
destructive attack I know.
**[11:11] ---**
You focus all your Aura into one point
and unleash it at a high velocity.
**[11:16] ---**
But you mustn't use it
unless absolutely necessary.
**[11:20] ---**
The massive force it causes
can reflect back on you.
**[11:28] ---**
*With my Dark Armour Fist protecting me,
I should be able to use it!*
**[11:39] ---**
Oh? So you intend to stop flailing around
and want to use a single killing strike?
**[11:45] ---**
It will not change a thing.
**[11:47] ---**
I still intend to try!
**[11:50] ---**
Even a brute
who downs a bear in one strike
**[11:53] ---**
can die to a swarm of bees.
**[11:57] ---**
Do you understand?
**[12:08] ---**
Th-This is...!
**[12:20] ---**
*S-So strong!*
**[12:25] ---**
This is your answer, Maam!
**[12:28] ---**
I'll keep hitting you
while moving at a high speed!
**[12:34] ---**
That's all I need to do
to slowly eat away at your life!
**[12:38] ---**
This fight is already over!
**[12:51] ---**
I see you've run out of strength.
**[12:53] ---**
You've proven quite troublesome.
I'll praise you for that.
**[12:59] ---**
*The queen truly is strong!*
**[13:01] ---**
*But why?*
**[13:03] ---**
*With this sort of power,
why didn't Albinass use it before?*
**[13:07] ---**
*This battle could have
been won much sooner...*
**[13:12] ---**
*So why?*
**[13:13] ---**
The queen is a piece that rarely moves.
**[13:18] ---**
*The queen is indeed the strongest piece.*
**[13:21] ---**
*But its extreme mobility
can be its downfall.*
**[13:27] ---**
*That's it! That's my only option!*
**[13:35] ---**
You've accepted your fate!
**[13:37] ---**
Then, as you wish,
I shall pierce your chest!
**[13:41] ---**
Goodbye, Maam!
**[13:43] ---**
I'll quickly send your friends after you!
**[14:04] ---**
H-How...?!
**[14:07] ---**
You're fast, but even you
can't dodge that many projectiles.
**[14:11] ---**
And due to your extreme speed,
the collision caused overwhelming damage!
**[14:17] ---**
That's the queen's weakness!
**[14:22] ---**
On my back,
you could only attack from the front.
**[14:26] ---**
You charged straight into
the fragments I shattered!
**[14:31] ---**
You've lost, Albinass!
**[14:41] ---**
N-Not yet!
**[14:43] ---**
It's not over yet!
**[14:47] ---**
*Forgive me, Albinass!*
**[14:50] ---**
This is my final attack!
**[14:57] ---**
Warrior Master Style Secret Attack...
**[14:59] ---**
Tiger Shatter Fist!
**[15:23] ---**
I've won!
**[15:32] ---**
Come no closer.
**[15:36] ---**
I have lost.
**[15:39] ---**
It seems that
underestimating you cost me my life.
**[15:47] ---**
Albinass.
**[15:48] ---**
With my core penetrated,
my body will soon explode.
**[15:55] ---**
Forgive me, Albinass.
**[15:58] ---**
I didn't have a choice.
**[16:02] ---**
You need not feel sorry.
**[16:05] ---**
If you hadn't won,
I would have killed you.
**[16:10] ---**
You were just stronger.
**[16:14] ---**
Not just in power,
but in your drive to help others.
**[16:18] ---**
That's all it is.
**[16:21] ---**
It's a shame. It's regrettable.
**[16:24] ---**
It seems, in being
a piece that was created,
**[16:28] ---**
my will could never be
as strong as a human's.
**[16:35] ---**
Lord Hadlar...
**[16:37] ---**
I wanted him to live.
**[16:39] ---**
*For even a moment, even a second longer.*
**[16:43] ---**
*Even if it cost me the life he gave me.*
**[16:52] ---**
Now go from here.
**[16:55] ---**
And witness in my place...
**[16:59] ---**
Lord Hadlar's final glory.
**[17:11] ---**
*Albinass, you were more
than just a chess piece.*
**[17:18] ---**
*What you felt for Hadlar...
I'm sure it was...*
**[17:23] ---**
*what humans call "love."*
**[17:30] ---**
Bloody Scryde!
**[17:35] ---**
*D-Dammit!*
**[17:37] ---**
*I-I won't lose! I still haven't lost!*
**[17:46] ---**
Hym, you weren't weak.
You were just unlucky.
**[17:51] ---**
You faced me right after
I awakened to a new power.
**[17:58] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[18:00] ---**
You defeated Albinass?
**[18:02] ---**
Thanks to Lon Beruk's Dark Armour Fist.
**[18:06] ---**
I just defeated Hym.
**[18:09] ---**
It looks like they're trying to buy time
for Hadlar to fight Dai.
**[18:15] ---**
Yes.
**[18:17] ---**
Let's hurry back!
**[18:24] ---**
What's that?!
**[18:25] ---**
It's Popp.
**[18:26] ---**
He's fighting...
**[18:28] ---**
*The knight, Sigma!*
**[18:29] ---**
*Sigma has the Mirror of Shahal
that can reflect any spell!*
**[18:34] ---**
*If Popp uses Medroa...*
**[18:39] ---**
Are you worried about Popp?
**[18:42] ---**
Yes.
**[18:43] ---**
Don't be. Even I couldn't
easily defeat Popp now.
**[18:49] ---**
Even at a disadvantage, not even
a Royal Guard-level enemy could beat him.
**[18:54] ---**
You're right.
We should trust Popp's abilities.
**[19:07] ---**
Maam, why are you so concerned for Popp?
**[19:11] ---**
If it were me or Dai,
you wouldn't feel this conflicted.
**[19:17] ---**
But you and Dai are really strong!
**[19:21] ---**
You always pull through on your own!
**[19:25] ---**
But Popp...
**[19:27] ---**
Popp's strong, but...
**[19:29] ---**
he's always so careless without help.
**[19:33] ---**
It's hard to watch at times.
**[19:37] ---**
*That's it!*
**[19:39] ---**
*That's how I've always looked at Popp!*
**[19:43] ---**
*That's why Popp
tried so hard to get stronger!*
**[19:48] ---**
*It was because of me!*
**[19:54] ---**
Maam.
**[19:57] ---**
Hyunckel.
**[19:59] ---**
Remember what Popp said?
**[20:01] ---**
Your power is love.
**[20:03] ---**
Your love saved me, too.
**[20:07] ---**
I'm truly grateful.
**[20:09] ---**
But there are two kinds of love.
**[20:12] ---**
Loving someone to help them
and loving someone for yourself.
**[20:15] ---**
Loving someone for yourself?
**[20:17] ---**
You always love others
out of a desire to help them.
**[20:21] ---**
You have the spirit of Love.
**[20:24] ---**
But after this battle is over,
**[20:26] ---**
you'll eventually come to
love someone for yourself.
**[20:33] ---**
Like how Miss Amy loves you?
**[20:37] ---**
Though I can never reciprocate her love,
**[20:42] ---**
I can somewhat understand how she feels.
**[20:46] ---**
Love is an emotion beyond control.
**[20:50] ---**
It can at times lead people astray.
Like how Baran and I fell to evil.
**[20:57] ---**
*Like how Merle and Albinass
were willing to sacrifice themselves.*
**[21:04] ---**
Maam.
**[21:05] ---**
If you feel any emotion for Popp
that you can't describe,
**[21:11] ---**
then go find out for yourself.
**[21:14] ---**
Leave Dai to me.
**[21:18] ---**
Hyunckel...
**[21:21] ---**
Popp is still waiting for an answer.
**[21:33] ---**
Thank you, Hyunckel!
**[21:37] ---**
*Maam... The angel of Love
who gave me light.*
**[21:42] ---**
*Go on and find love for yourself.
Not just for everyone else.*
**[21:47] ---**
*And find happiness.*
**[21:51] ---**
*I can never bring you happiness.*
**[22:07] ---**
*To be honest I was clumsy*
**[22:07] ---**
*omoeba boku wa bukiyou de*
**[22:12] ---**
*And it took me forever to get here*
**[22:12] ---**
*shouganaikurai tomawarishita*
**[22:18] ---**
*I used even loneliness as a weapon*
**[22:18] ---**
*kodokukannsura mo buki ni shite*
**[22:24] ---**
*I searched the dungeon for a simple answer*
**[22:24] ---**
*tannjun na kotae wo sagashita dannjon*
**[22:29] ---**
*Even if I cast aside
Rightness and kindness*
**[22:29] ---**
*tadashisa yasashisa nagedashite mo*
**[22:35] ---**
*I just want to be there for you*
**[22:35] ---**
*tada hitori kimi no mikata de itai*
**[22:41] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[22:41] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga*
**[22:47] ---**
*Is harder than any magic spell*
**[22:47] ---**
*ari to arayuru mahou yori muzukashikute*
**[22:53] ---**
*Even though you're so close to me*
**[22:53] ---**
*konnani mo chikaku ni itanoni*
**[22:59] ---**
*I love you*
**[22:59] ---**
*aishiteiru*
**[23:01] ---**
*I finally realized it*
**[23:01] ---**
*imasara kizuitanosa*
**[23:05] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[23:05] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu tame ni*
**[23:10] ---**
*Must be the reason I was born*
**[23:10] ---**
*boku wa kitto umarete kitannda*
**[23:16] ---**
*I shake off the clinging night*
**[23:16] ---**
*shigamitsuku yoru furihodoite*
**[23:22] ---**
*And go to see you*
**[23:22] ---**
*ai ni iku*
**[23:25] ---**
*Right now to where you are*
**[23:25] ---**
*ima sugu kimi no moto e*
**[23:33] ---**
*The battle between
Maam and Albinass ended tragically,*
**[23:37] ---**
*but Maam's strong will led her to victory.*
**[23:39] ---**
*Meanwhile, Popp fights
an evenly matched battle with Sigma,*
**[23:44] ---**
*but he has no counter against Sigma's
Mirror of Shahal which reflects magic.*
**[23:49] ---**
*As the two continue to face off,
both sides attempt a gambit.*
**[23:53] ---**
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,*
**[23:55] ---**
*"Victory or Annihilation"*
**[23:57] ---**
*The adventure continues!*

VICTORY OR ANNIHILATION
**[01:53] ---**
Sizzle!
**[02:17] ---**
May I ask you something?
**[02:21] ---**
Go ahead.
**[02:22] ---**
Are you really a human?
**[02:25] ---**
Only a Darkling could be this resilient.
**[02:29] ---**
Don't flatter me. I'm just a human.
**[02:34] ---**
A cowardly, small, ordinary human.
**[02:39] ---**
Those who speak like that
are often dangerous.
**[02:44] ---**
I will not hold back!
**[02:49] ---**
*Popp...*
**[02:52] ---**
Popp, was it?
**[02:55] ---**
You are far more dangerous
than you let on.
**[02:58] ---**
I felt it from the first time we fought.
**[03:03] ---**
For example, you keep using magic
even though I keep reflecting it.
**[03:09] ---**
I would assume you have some sort of plan.
**[03:13] ---**
Am I wrong?
**[03:17] ---**
And you're the most difficult enemy
I've ever faced.
**[03:22] ---**
Everyone I've ever fought
assumed I was just a scrub.
**[03:27] ---**
That always let me catch them off guard.
**[03:32] ---**
You're using spells to find
an opening in my defenses aren't you?
**[03:39] ---**
You only have one spell
that can defeat me after all.
**[03:45] ---**
Try and use it. That Medroa spell.
**[03:50] ---**
Don't be stupid. If you reflect
my Medroa then it'll really be over.
**[03:57] ---**
I'm not giving you
what you want so easily!
**[04:02] ---**
A Boom spell. Futile!
**[04:05] ---**
I'll just reflect it!
**[04:08] ---**
*Counter and cancel it out!*
**[04:11] ---**
Boom!
**[04:15] ---**
Now! Extend, Black Rod!
**[04:32] ---**
Oh no you don't!
**[04:38] ---**
Rod, into fork spear!
**[04:48] ---**
*I did it! I got the mirror off
and immobilized them!*
**[04:53] ---**
It's over!
**[05:00] ---**
Why are you so calm?! Struggle more!
**[05:03] ---**
This is the end for you!
**[05:06] ---**
You completely exceeded my expectations.
**[05:10] ---**
To hide such a powerful ace
up your sleeve all this time...
**[05:16] ---**
How very brave.
**[05:19] ---**
What a shame.
**[05:20] ---**
You could have won if it wasn't
my right arm you pinned.
**[05:35] ---**
Too late!
**[05:38] ---**
Lightning Buster!
**[05:52] ---**
You weren't the only one
with an ace up your sleeve.
**[05:57] ---**
The Lightning Buster from my right arm
is as powerful as a Kaboom spell.
**[06:03] ---**
Like Hym's Heat Knuckle, it requires
physical contact to work, though.
**[06:08] ---**
I heard bone shatter.
You're beyond help now.
**[06:13] ---**
Forgive me for heading to the next battle
without offering proper rites.
**[06:18] ---**
My worthy adversary.
**[06:30] ---**
Impossible! How are you still alive?!
**[06:33] ---**
That's... a Fullheal spell?!
**[06:37] ---**
You've been so resilient because you've
been healing yourself this whole time?!
**[06:43] ---**
Are you...
**[06:46] ---**
a Sage?!
**[06:48] ---**
No I'm not. I ain't no Sage.
**[06:57] ---**
I ain't no Sage.
**[07:00] ---**
Why not, Mentor?
**[07:02] ---**
You can use attack and healing
and all sorts of types of spells.
**[07:08] ---**
How does that not make you a Sage?
**[07:10] ---**
I don't like the title.
**[07:13] ---**
It sounds so pompous and doesn't fit me.
**[07:18] ---**
Besides, it lacks impact.
**[07:23] ---**
That's why I came up with an awesome title
that would make everybody fear me.
**[07:30] ---**
The title of the single most
powerful spell-caster in the world!
**[07:35] ---**
That's...
**[07:39] ---**
Grand Sorcerer.
**[07:41] ---**
What?!
**[07:42] ---**
That's right.
**[07:44] ---**
If you're going to call me anything,
call me the Grand Sorcerer.
**[07:50] ---**
Popp, the Grand Sorcerer...
**[07:54] ---**
Honestly, that doesn't seem
far off the mark.
**[07:57] ---**
When did you attain such a spell?
**[08:00] ---**
I just did.
**[08:01] ---**
What?
**[08:03] ---**
My mentor already made me bind
with almost every spell there is.
**[08:08] ---**
I just suddenly was able to use it.
**[08:12] ---**
Gaining power at the moment
you most hate yourself is pretty ironic.
**[08:20] ---**
I've never...
**[08:23] ---**
I've never been
more ashamed of myself before.
**[08:27] ---**
Your soul is what awakened that power.
**[08:31] ---**
The soul can enhance the body
beyond its limits. That's what I believe.
**[08:38] ---**
This soul that Lord Hadlar gave me
is my greatest pride.
**[08:44] ---**
But...
**[08:46] ---**
unfortunately, that doesn't
give you any advantage.
**[08:50] ---**
Healing will only lengthen our battle.
**[08:54] ---**
All the better for me, since I'm trying to
buy time for Lord Hadlar and Dai's duel.
**[09:01] ---**
Don't be... so sure!
**[09:05] ---**
Medroa?!
**[09:08] ---**
Don't you realize
I won't just let you hit me with that?
**[09:13] ---**
Either way, it's the only spell
that'll work on you.
**[09:17] ---**
It all comes down to this Medroa spell!
**[09:22] ---**
It's all or nothing...
**[09:24] ---**
Sigma!
**[09:26] ---**
You're an opponent worth respecting.
**[09:30] ---**
That's why I'll match that sense of duty!
**[09:33] ---**
I'm going back to Dai as soon as possible!
**[09:37] ---**
And for that...
**[09:39] ---**
I'll defeat you!
**[09:42] ---**
I could try to buy time...
**[09:45] ---**
but you've gained my interest!
**[09:50] ---**
Bring it on, Grand Sorcerer!
**[10:03] ---**
Give it up! That sort of movement speed
will never catch me off guard!
**[10:09] ---**
Bang!
**[10:11] ---**
Got you!
**[10:13] ---**
It seems the goddess of victory
does not smile for you this time!
**[10:18] ---**
Of course not!
**[10:20] ---**
My goddess doesn't smile for me!
**[10:23] ---**
She slaps me across the face!
**[10:28] ---**
Too slow!
**[10:29] ---**
No you're too slow!
**[10:31] ---**
Your own weapon will send you
to the afterlife!
**[10:37] ---**
Allow me to offer the same line!
**[10:41] ---**
Your Medroa will send you
to the afterlife!
**[10:44] ---**
Popp!
**[10:53] ---**
Popp!
**[11:05] ---**
You're too late.
**[11:07] ---**
He is about to be annihilated.
**[11:15] ---**
Impossible!
**[11:16] ---**
He hasn't been annihilated?!
**[11:22] ---**
It looks like I win the game of deception!
**[11:27] ---**
Medroa!
**[11:44] ---**
MEDROA
**[11:49] ---**
LIGHTNING BUSTER
**[12:06] ---**
So that first spell... wasn't Medroa.
**[12:11] ---**
Yeah. I adjusted my Magic Power
and disguised a Sizzle spell.
**[12:17] ---**
I intentionally let myself get hit...
to catch you off guard.
**[12:24] ---**
Well done.
**[12:26] ---**
It was a satisfying fight.
**[12:29] ---**
Lord Hadlar will not blame me.
**[12:34] ---**
I shall not forget your name,
Grand Sorcerer Popp.
**[12:39] ---**
Me neither, Knight Sigma.
**[12:42] ---**
Give my regards to
your goddess who slaps you.
**[12:50] ---**
I saw a brilliant flash from Vearn Palace.
**[12:54] ---**
Yeah. That light is from Popp's Medroa!
**[12:57] ---**
The Disciples of Avan are fighting well!
**[13:00] ---**
So that's his Medroa!
**[13:02] ---**
I guess we can't let them down!
**[13:04] ---**
Exactly!
**[13:06] ---**
Howl, Inferno!
**[13:11] ---**
Why'd you come to help?
Did you really have no faith in me?
**[13:16] ---**
That's not it.
**[13:19] ---**
Maam.
**[13:20] ---**
There's something I need to tell you.
**[13:26] ---**
I...
**[13:28] ---**
I love you.
**[13:46] ---**
I finally, finally got to say it
to your face!
**[13:53] ---**
*That last confession was just the worst.*
**[13:56] ---**
It really was the worst.
**[14:00] ---**
Popp...
**[14:01] ---**
I know you're wondering why
I'm choosing to say this here and now.
**[14:06] ---**
I wanted to say it properly
before the final battle.
**[14:10] ---**
I'm sure you were uncomfortable
with how things stood.
**[14:14] ---**
That's all.
**[14:16] ---**
Sorry. Let's get going.
**[14:20] ---**
Wait.
**[14:23] ---**
I said wait, Popp!
**[14:26] ---**
Don't you...
**[14:28] ---**
Don't you want to hear my answer?
**[14:31] ---**
You can't just say your piece
and end things there!
**[14:35] ---**
That's not fair!
**[14:39] ---**
You never do beat around the bush, do you?
**[14:43] ---**
Why did I have to fall in love with you?
**[14:50] ---**
Yeah, it's not fair.
**[14:53] ---**
I guess I've always been a coward.
**[14:58] ---**
Even now I'm terrified.
**[15:01] ---**
I'm scared you're not interested in me
or that you really love Hyunckel.
**[15:08] ---**
I'm shaking.
**[15:10] ---**
*Popp...*
**[15:12] ---**
Even back with the Kaglimmer spell.
**[15:14] ---**
I wasn't scared of
getting wounded or even dying.
**[15:19] ---**
But to be left out of the group...
That scared me.
**[15:24] ---**
If I didn't have Dai or you with me,
I'd still be worthless.
**[15:31] ---**
When my Insignia didn't glow, I should've
just come out and asked for help.
**[15:38] ---**
But I was scared.
**[15:40] ---**
I couldn't speak up.
**[15:43] ---**
What if someone told me
I'm not worthy to be among you?
**[15:46] ---**
That fear kept me silent.
**[15:49] ---**
I bet it was Master Avan
who kept it from glowing.
**[15:53] ---**
He was saying "I won't have any student
of mine chickening out like that."
**[15:58] ---**
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Maam. You're right.
**[16:03] ---**
I should accept whatever's coming to me
or I'll never be able to face Merle.
**[16:08] ---**
Besides, I guess I'm
the Disciple of Courage.
**[16:13] ---**
You're always like this.
**[16:16] ---**
Whenever I go astray, you wake me up
and put me back on the right path.
**[16:24] ---**
That's why...
**[16:26] ---**
That's why?
**[16:28] ---**
It's that quality of yours that...
**[16:34] ---**
I...
**[16:36] ---**
I'm in love with.
**[16:46] ---**
Tell me.
**[16:48] ---**
How do you feel about me?
**[16:52] ---**
How I... feel about you.
**[16:58] ---**
I love you. Very much.
**[17:00] ---**
Really?
**[17:02] ---**
But I thought
you were in love with Hyunckel.
**[17:05] ---**
Of course I love Hyunckel.
**[17:08] ---**
He's strong, but so alone,
and I'm always worried about him.
**[17:13] ---**
But the same goes for you, Popp.
**[17:16] ---**
I'm always afraid to let you out of
my sight. You're like a little brother.
**[17:21] ---**
I worry about you.
**[17:24] ---**
*A little brother...*
**[17:26] ---**
When I learned you're in love with me
I was conflicted at first.
**[17:31] ---**
But I'm grateful now.
**[17:34] ---**
But I'm not ready to give you an answer.
**[17:39] ---**
I realized something in this battle.
**[17:45] ---**
I never actually knew what real love is.
**[17:50] ---**
Miss Amy and Merle and Albinass were all
willing to die for the people they loved.
**[17:57] ---**
To truly love someone
is a fierce and powerful thing.
**[18:03] ---**
I don't know if I'm capable of that.
**[18:08] ---**
I never considered how to see others
or how others saw me.
**[18:15] ---**
It's possible...
**[18:17] ---**
that you've been hurt and suffered
numerous times because of me.
**[18:25] ---**
Maam...
**[18:26] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[18:27] ---**
I can't give an answer to you right now.
**[18:32] ---**
I don't think I have that right.
**[18:35] ---**
But, Popp...
**[18:38] ---**
if you'll allow it,
will you give me a chance?
**[18:43] ---**
A chance?
**[18:44] ---**
I don't know if we'll survive this battle.
**[18:47] ---**
But, if we do manage to...
**[18:50] ---**
I'm sure that then I'll be able
to look at you as a man.
**[18:56] ---**
The reason I'm able to love you
**[18:59] ---**
is because I've seen you grow so much
through your battles.
**[19:03] ---**
So lend me your strength!
**[19:06] ---**
And let's fight for the future!
**[19:11] ---**
The future...
**[19:13] ---**
*I don't know if I'll be able to love you
as a man when it's over.*
**[19:18] ---**
*I may love Hyunckel instead.*
**[19:22] ---**
*But I know I'll be able to become
someone I wasn't before.*
**[19:27] ---**
So, for the future, let's work together
and overcome this battle...
**[19:33] ---**
together!
**[19:36] ---**
This is the best I can offer right now.
**[19:40] ---**
Is it... enough?
**[19:44] ---**
*Maam!*
**[19:46] ---**
*Thank you. That answer
was far more than I deserve.*
**[19:51] ---**
*I'm... I'm so glad...*
**[19:56] ---**
*I fell in love with you.*
**[19:59] ---**
Popp?
**[20:00] ---**
So, if the Dark King ends up killing us,
then that's that, right?
**[20:06] ---**
I guess so.
**[20:11] ---**
Then... can I have an advance?
**[20:16] ---**
Huh? What?!
**[20:21] ---**
Close your eyes.
**[20:24] ---**
You're kidding...
**[20:26] ---**
Popp!
**[20:37] ---**
Just kidding! Fooled you!
**[20:40] ---**
Even I'm not brave enough to do that!
**[20:43] ---**
But you really closed your eyes.
**[20:46] ---**
Could it be you might actually
have feelings for me?
**[20:51] ---**
You...
**[20:53] ---**
idiot!
**[21:00] ---**
Maam.
**[21:01] ---**
What?!
**[21:03] ---**
Let's win this. I want to see that future.
**[21:07] ---**
Even if it's the one
where I get shot down.
**[21:11] ---**
Idiot!
**[21:17] ---**
Yow!
**[21:19] ---**
What is this?!
**[21:22] ---**
Popp, Maam! You're both okay!
**[21:30] ---**
It looks like your fight
with Sigma was a tough one.
**[21:32] ---**
Y-Yeah...
**[21:35] ---**
*Half of this is from Maam, though.*
**[21:37] ---**
Why are you just standing here?
Where are Dai and Hadlar?
**[21:42] ---**
Look at that!
**[21:43] ---**
Look at what? I can't see them anywhere.
**[21:47] ---**
There's just a huge swirl of sheer heat.
**[21:50] ---**
So where's Dai?!
**[22:07] ---**
*omoeba boku wa bukiyou de*
**[22:07] ---**
*To be honest I was clumsy*
**[22:12] ---**
*shouganaikurai tomawarishita*
**[22:12] ---**
*And it took me forever to get here*
**[22:19] ---**
*kodokukannsura mo buki ni shite*
**[22:19] ---**
*I used even loneliness as a weapon*
**[22:24] ---**
*tannjun na kotae wo sagashita dannjon*
**[22:24] ---**
*I searched the dungeon for a simple answer*
**[22:30] ---**
*tadashisa yasashisa nagedashite mo*
**[22:30] ---**
*Even if I cast aside
Rightness and kindness*
**[22:35] ---**
*tada hitori kimi no mikata de itai*
**[22:35] ---**
*I just want to be there for you*
**[22:42] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga*
**[22:42] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[22:47] ---**
*ari to arayuru mahou yori muzukashikute*
**[22:47] ---**
*Is harder than any magic spell*
**[22:53] ---**
*konnani mo chikaku ni itanoni*
**[22:53] ---**
*Even though you're so close to me*
**[22:59] ---**
*aishiteiru*
**[22:59] ---**
*I love you*
**[23:02] ---**
*imasara kizuitanosa*
**[23:02] ---**
*I finally realized it*
**[23:05] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu tame ni*
**[23:05] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[23:10] ---**
*boku wa kitto umarete kitannda*
**[23:10] ---**
*Must be the reason I was born*
**[23:16] ---**
*shigamitsuku yoru furihodoite*
**[23:16] ---**
*I shake off the clinging night*
**[23:22] ---**
*ai ni iku*
**[23:22] ---**
*And go to see you*
**[23:25] ---**
*ima sugu kimi no moto e*
**[23:25] ---**
*Right now to where you are*
**[23:34] ---**
*Popp and Maam arrive to help Dai.*
**[23:37] ---**
*Dai and Hadlar's clash
rivals one from legends of the Underworld.*
**[23:42] ---**
*It is one that none may interrupt.*
**[23:45] ---**
*Dai's Avan Strash
or Hadlar's Ultra Combustion Slash...*
**[23:49] ---**
*The duel between the two
nears its conclusion.*
**[23:53] ---**
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,*

BATTLE OF TRUE DRAGONS
**[02:06] ---**
What's going on?! What are they doing?!
**[02:09] ---**
What does it look like?
They're fighting a ferocious battle.
**[02:13] ---**
Then Dai and Hadlar's clashes
are causing this gust of heat?
**[02:17] ---**
It's not just a gust.
It's highly concentrated energy.
**[02:21] ---**
They're completely in their own world.
**[02:24] ---**
We escaped here before we got burned.
**[02:28] ---**
What's going on?
How does this sort of thing even happen?
**[02:34] ---**
A Battle of True Dragons.
**[02:36] ---**
-Oh?
-What's that?
**[02:38] ---**
You don't know?
**[02:40] ---**
This is truly the Underworld's infamous
Battle of True Dragons recreated.
**[02:45] ---**
That sounds quite interesting.
**[02:50] ---**
In the distant past...
**[02:54] ---**
*the two most powerful
Dragons in the Underworld...*
**[03:00] ---**
*finally decided to determine
who was stronger.*
**[03:08] ---**
*Velzar, the Abyss Dragon...*
**[03:12] ---**
*and Vorikus, the Lightning Dragon.*
**[03:16] ---**
*Evenly matched, the clash
between the two was truly savage.*
**[03:23] ---**
*Their Auras and flame breath
and Magic Power collided,*
**[03:28] ---**
*and the super-heated ground
was laid waste.*
**[03:34] ---**
*Their battle created
a field so tempestuous*
**[03:39] ---**
*it drained the life
of any who stood in it.*
**[03:43] ---**
*Those who approached were incinerated.*
**[03:48] ---**
*In the end, this ultimate duel
of pure power*
**[03:54] ---**
*was won by Velzar.*
**[03:57] ---**
*And he became the Abyss Dragon King.*
**[04:01] ---**
*Since then, this battle is called
the Battle of True Dragons,*
**[04:06] ---**
*and is revered as
the most intense duel in history.*
**[04:14] ---**
Pay close attention, Killvearn.
**[04:17] ---**
This isn't something one sees every day.
**[04:20] ---**
Only when both sides
are extremely powerful and evenly matched
**[04:26] ---**
does such a thing ever happen.
**[04:30] ---**
To think that those two
would show me such a battle.
**[04:36] ---**
They're both fighting
with all their might.
**[04:39] ---**
That energy must be spilling over,
creating that field around them.
**[04:43] ---**
How can you be so calm?!
Dai's like that and you're not helping?!
**[04:53] ---**
As you can see,
no one can approach those two.
**[04:56] ---**
It's almost as though their will
is keeping everyone at bay.
**[05:01] ---**
At least I think so.
**[05:03] ---**
Then why isn't Dai using his sword?!
**[05:06] ---**
Hadlar isn't either.
**[05:08] ---**
Ever since that heat field appeared,
they've been fighting hand-to-hand.
**[05:13] ---**
I think they both know
that drawing their weapons...
**[05:17] ---**
will signify the end of their duel.
**[05:48] ---**
Dai!
**[05:51] ---**
I'm not waiting!
My Medroa can blow away any heat!
**[05:56] ---**
I'll hit Hadlar with this!
**[05:58] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[05:59] ---**
Don't, Popp. This is their duel.
**[06:02] ---**
This isn't the time for platitudes! Look!
**[06:06] ---**
Just standing there
is draining their stamina!
**[06:09] ---**
Dai may be a Dragon Knight, but between
little Dai and that huge Hadlar,
**[06:15] ---**
it's obvious who has more!
**[06:18] ---**
I don't care if anyone says it's unfair!
I'm helping Dai!
**[06:22] ---**
Wait, Popp!
**[06:24] ---**
Not you too, Princess!
**[06:26] ---**
Dai wants this duel.
That why we shouldn't interfere.
**[06:31] ---**
He's just naive.
**[06:34] ---**
He should just ignore Hadlar's condition!
**[06:37] ---**
Isn't his inability to
what makes Dai our Dai?
**[06:42] ---**
Our Dai?
**[06:43] ---**
I've been thinking about it.
**[06:47] ---**
About the power of Dai's soul.
**[06:50] ---**
I thought it was Courage,
but Courage is the power of your soul.
**[06:55] ---**
Yeah... Right.
**[06:58] ---**
In that case, what's his power?
**[07:01] ---**
Perhaps Dai's power
is that naivety you mentioned.
**[07:07] ---**
Huh? How is that...?
**[07:09] ---**
His kindness and innocence...
That clarity of heart...
**[07:14] ---**
Yes. His pure heart.
**[07:19] ---**
*Dai was raised on Dermline Island,
an island of monsters.*
**[07:23] ---**
*So he doesn't discriminate
or hold any preconceptions of anyone.*
**[07:27] ---**
*It allows him to treat everyone
equally and naturally.*
**[07:32] ---**
Isn't that his greatest trait?
**[07:35] ---**
It's what allowed us
to all become friends.
**[07:39] ---**
It allowed Hyunckel and Crocodine
to become our allies.
**[07:43] ---**
The reason we're all here now
is thanks to the power of Dai's soul.
**[07:50] ---**
So if Dai sensed anything within Hadlar
that made him accept this duel,
**[07:57] ---**
then it's our duty to respect that.
**[08:02] ---**
At least that's what I think.
**[08:13] ---**
What's wrong?!
**[08:16] ---**
*I can't beat him like this!*
**[08:19] ---**
*I... I have to use
my strongest attack against him!*
**[08:29] ---**
His sword!
**[08:37] ---**
That's the face.
**[08:39] ---**
Whenever you're about to do something
unbelievable, you make that face.
**[08:47] ---**
It's become my favorite face of yours.
**[09:06] ---**
It's beginning. The final clash.
**[09:10] ---**
The next attack will decide this battle.
**[09:12] ---**
Don't make outlandish predictions!
How can you tell that?!
**[09:16] ---**
Because I think that field...
**[09:21] ---**
The energy of that battlefield
sides with the victor.
**[09:26] ---**
Oh?
**[09:29] ---**
That super-heated field
that surrounds them
**[09:33] ---**
is maintained because
their energy is balanced.
**[09:37] ---**
That keeps it at bay and makes it grow.
**[09:41] ---**
Therefore, when that balance is tipped...
**[09:46] ---**
all of that energy flows
to the weaker side.
**[09:51] ---**
The weaker side...
**[09:53] ---**
In other words, the loser.
**[09:56] ---**
That's the most dangerous part
of the Battle of True Dragons.
**[10:01] ---**
When the deciding blow is struck,
**[10:04] ---**
all that accumulated energy
flows to the side that is struck.
**[10:12] ---**
The loser faces certain death.
**[10:17] ---**
How scary.
I'd never have a duel like that.
**[10:22] ---**
Scary, scary!
**[10:23] ---**
But, in this case,
Dai's disadvantage grows.
**[10:29] ---**
Hadlar's finishing attack
will be his Ultra Combustion Slash.
**[10:33] ---**
But as for Dai...
**[10:36] ---**
his greatest attack is his Avan Strash
used with his Draconic Aura or a spell.
**[10:42] ---**
If Zapple is his strongest spell,
then his Magic Sword is nothing to fear.
**[10:49] ---**
Between Avan Strash and Ultra
Combustion Slash, the outcome is obvious.
**[10:55] ---**
That's not something he'd overlook.
**[11:00] ---**
So what will he do?
**[11:19] ---**
Avan Strash...
**[11:26] ---**
TIGER SHATTER FIST
**[11:31] ---**
AVAN STRASH
**[11:37] ---**
Avan Strash... So that's your choice.
**[11:42] ---**
The attack took my life once,
and even after Avan's death,
**[11:47] ---**
it was passed on to his successors.
**[11:51] ---**
Indeed, it's the perfect attack
to end this battle.
**[11:59] ---**
But you can't win with an Avan Strash!
**[12:03] ---**
Once you lose, this battlefield...
**[12:07] ---**
I know! All of this heat will flow
to whoever loses this clash!
**[12:14] ---**
So you already realized.
**[12:16] ---**
But I, no, Avan Strash won't lose!
**[12:22] ---**
Because I developed this
to fight Dark King Vearn!
**[12:28] ---**
This is a new Avan Strash!
**[12:31] ---**
What?!
**[12:32] ---**
A new Strash?!
**[12:34] ---**
It must be the new attack
Dai developed in his training!
**[12:37] ---**
I really wanted to save this
until the fight with Vearn.
**[12:41] ---**
But that'll be meaningless if I lose here!
**[12:44] ---**
So I'm going to use it now!
**[12:47] ---**
You're not one to try to
bluff your way through a situation.
**[12:52] ---**
Interesting! Then show me
this new Avan Strash of yours!
**[12:58] ---**
If it's just some silly attack
then my mighty strike will shatter it!
**[13:08] ---**
Oh no! Get farther away!
**[13:10] ---**
Don't be ridiculous!
We can't leave at a time like this!
**[13:14] ---**
Then at least get down!
**[13:34] ---**
Here goes, Hadlar!
**[13:37] ---**
*His stance is the same.*
**[13:40] ---**
*It's slightly deeper than usual.*
**[13:43] ---**
Avan Strash Arrow!
**[13:48] ---**
*That's his new Strash?!*
**[13:49] ---**
*It's a normal Strash!*
**[13:52] ---**
*What is this?! What makes this an arrow?!*
**[13:56] ---**
*It's merely a breeze compared to
my Ultra Combustion Slash!*
**[14:02] ---**
I'll blow it away!
**[14:04] ---**
Now!
**[14:05] ---**
Avan Strash Break!
**[14:11] ---**
What?!
**[14:14] ---**
He's catching up...
**[14:16] ---**
...with the first Strash!
**[14:23] ---**
Avan Strash...
**[14:28] ---**
Cross!
**[14:44] ---**
That's Dai!
Dai used his new super attack!
**[15:04] ---**
The Battle of True Dragons
has been decided.
**[15:09] ---**
He won! Dai won!
**[15:12] ---**
Did you see that?!
That unbelievably powerful new Strash!
**[15:17] ---**
So that's the new super attack
that Dai created.
**[15:21] ---**
Avan Strash... Cross.
**[15:24] ---**
I see. Avan Strash has the Arrow Type
where you launch Aura,
**[15:29] ---**
and the Break Type where you
charge the target.
**[15:33] ---**
But to combine the two...
**[15:35] ---**
Combine the two?
**[15:37] ---**
What do you mean, Hyunckel?
**[15:38] ---**
I mean he catches up to his Arrow Type
with his Break Type,
**[15:42] ---**
*and detonates both Strashes simultaneously
at the moment of impact.*
**[15:47] ---**
*The upward impact of the Arrow Type
and the downward impact of the Break Type*
**[15:53] ---**
*cross at the enemy's chest.*
**[15:55] ---**
The overlapping force is probably
over five times that of a normal Strash.
**[16:01] ---**
Over five times?!
**[16:03] ---**
But to time the impact
of the two attacks perfectly
**[16:07] ---**
requires unbelievable instincts.
**[16:10] ---**
To predict an enemy's movements
and time two attacks is beyond even me.
**[16:15] ---**
It's a super attack only Dai can pull off!
**[16:18] ---**
A super attack!
**[16:21] ---**
But it looks like
Dai has spent all his Aura.
**[16:26] ---**
Hadlar's finished, isn't he?
**[16:29] ---**
Yeah. It seems so.
**[16:31] ---**
That tremendous energy
that surrounded them...
**[16:34] ---**
the fact that it's gone means
it hit him with that Strash Cross.
**[16:40] ---**
Dai! Well done!
**[16:48] ---**
Dai! He's still...!
**[16:54] ---**
*It's his will!*
**[16:56] ---**
Dai!
**[17:07] ---**
Dai!
**[17:07] ---**
Unbelievable! Hadlar shouldn't have
a shred of Aura left!
**[17:13] ---**
All of their Aura
were blown away in that clash!
**[17:17] ---**
Where does he get that strength?!
**[17:26] ---**
A Life Blade?!
**[17:28] ---**
What?!
**[17:29] ---**
Hadlar is converting his own life
and making it his sword!
**[17:34] ---**
Even though he knows what it'll cost him!
**[17:37] ---**
Dai!
**[17:40] ---**
Dai!
**[17:42] ---**
*They were all defeated... My Royal Guard.*
**[17:48] ---**
*Hym... Albinass... Sigma...*
**[17:52] ---**
*You've all done well.*
**[17:54] ---**
*I will join you all soon.*
**[18:00] ---**
*In retrospect, the Six Legion Commanders
of the Dark Army were all mighty.*
**[18:06] ---**
*But they couldn't defeat
Dai and his friends.*
**[18:10] ---**
*It's because, as their commander, I had
nothing but greed and self-preservation.*
**[18:23] ---**
*The fact that you all came together
and risked your lives for me*
**[18:28] ---**
*feels like the greatest proof
that I was able to reach great heights.*
**[18:35] ---**
*In the very end, I was blessed
by my servants.*
**[18:43] ---**
Now it's time!
**[18:45] ---**
I shall answer your loyalty
with this strike!
**[18:50] ---**
*Oh no! It feels like Hadlar's will
is totally overpowering Dai's!*
**[18:56] ---**
*Getting hit by that super attack
wasn't enough to defeat him!*
**[19:01] ---**
*I can tell that this strike contains
the will of the Royal Guard, too!*
**[19:06] ---**
*If we get hit, it'll all be over!*
**[19:08] ---**
Dai, I'll...
**[19:09] ---**
Don't, Popp!
**[19:13] ---**
I won't forgive anyone
who helps me here! Not even you!
**[19:21] ---**
This battle...
**[19:23] ---**
For just this battle...
**[19:26] ---**
I need you to let me fight alone!
**[19:31] ---**
D-Don't be stupid!
**[19:33] ---**
You don't have that sort of strength left!
**[19:37] ---**
That last attack used up all of your Aura!
**[19:42] ---**
But look!
**[19:58] ---**
Hadlar is using the remaining
bit of his life for one final attack!
**[20:05] ---**
It contains his will and
the unfulfilled wishes of the Royal Guard!
**[20:10] ---**
You can't win with any normal attack!
**[20:16] ---**
And with all of your Aura spent,
you can't use Strash Cross either!
**[20:23] ---**
That's enough!
Just leave the rest to us, Dai!
**[20:28] ---**
I still have...
**[20:31] ---**
one attack I want to try.
**[20:34] ---**
Besides, Hadlar's not the only one...
**[20:38] ---**
carrying the wishes
of his friends as he fights!
**[20:44] ---**
Everyone's always with me!
**[20:46] ---**
Master and Grampa and Dad, too!
**[20:50] ---**
I won't lose!
**[20:52] ---**
I'm going to prove their belief in me!
**[20:57] ---**
That's why...
**[20:59] ---**
I can't lose to Hadlar here!
**[21:13] ---**
*I really am just a coward.*
**[21:16] ---**
*Why couldn't I believe
in someone this strong?!*
**[21:26] ---**
You've spoken well!
**[21:30] ---**
But what can you do?!
**[21:33] ---**
You barely have any Aura left!
**[21:36] ---**
I can do this!
**[21:39] ---**
Zapple!
**[22:07] ---**
*To be honest I was clumsy*
**[22:07] ---**
*omoeba boku wa bukiyou de*
**[22:12] ---**
*And it took me forever to get here*
**[22:12] ---**
*shouganaikurai tomawarishita*
**[22:18] ---**
*I used even loneliness as a weapon*
**[22:18] ---**
*kodokukannsura mo buki ni shite*
**[22:24] ---**
*I searched the dungeon for a simple answer*
**[22:24] ---**
*tannjun na kotae wo sagashita dannjon*
**[22:30] ---**
*Even if I cast aside
Rightness and kindness*
**[22:30] ---**
*tadashisa yasashisa nagedashite mo*
**[22:35] ---**
*I just want to be there for you*
**[22:35] ---**
*tada hitori kimi no mikata de itai*
**[22:42] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[22:42] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga*
**[22:47] ---**
*Is harder than any magic spell*
**[22:47] ---**
*ari to arayuru mahou yori muzukashikute*
**[22:53] ---**
*Even though you're so close to me*
**[22:53] ---**

**[22:59] ---**
*I love you*
**[22:59] ---**
*aishiteiru*
**[23:02] ---**

**[23:02] ---**
*imasara kizuitanosa*
**[23:05] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[23:05] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu tame ni*
**[23:10] ---**
*Must be the reason I was born*
**[23:10] ---**
*boku wa kitto umarete kitannda*
**[23:16] ---**
*I shake off the clinging night*
**[23:16] ---**
*shigamitsuku yoru furihodoite*
**[23:22] ---**
*And go to see you*
**[23:22] ---**
*ai ni iku*
**[23:25] ---**
*Right now to where you are*
**[23:25] ---**
*ima sugu kimi no moto e*
**[23:33] ---**
*Dai won the Battle of True Dragons.*
**[23:36] ---**
*But Hadlar rose again
through sheer force of will.*
**[23:39] ---**
*With the wishes of the fallen Royal Guard
Hadlar readies a mighty attack.*
**[23:45] ---**
*Against him, Dai readies his Magic Sword.*
**[23:48] ---**
*With his Aura spent,
can Dai defeat Hadlar?*

THE LAST ATTACK
**[01:50] ---**
Zapple!
**[01:59] ---**
Hmm? Seems pointless.
**[02:03] ---**
Making up for lost Aura with magic.
**[02:07] ---**
Unfortunately, your Zap Strash...
**[02:11] ---**
is far weaker than
that new attack of yours!
**[02:26] ---**
Why sheath your sword?!
**[02:28] ---**
That's it! He has that new scabbard!
**[02:33] ---**
This scabbard is a new weapon
made by Lon Beruk!
**[02:38] ---**
My sword can't get any stronger.
**[02:42] ---**
But with this scabbard, I can increase
the power of my Magic Sword!
**[02:47] ---**
What?
**[02:49] ---**
If I sheath my Magic Sword like this...
**[02:53] ---**
the Magic Power is amplified inside!
**[02:57] ---**
When I draw it again, the spell will have
become its strongest iteration!
**[03:03] ---**
*So his Zapple will become a Kazap spell?!*
**[03:15] ---**
*A Zoom spell?*
**[03:24] ---**
Why did he move over there?
**[03:26] ---**
The Magic Power amplification takes time.
**[03:30] ---**
He did that to buy time.
**[03:33] ---**
That's not all.
**[03:35] ---**
Dai is confident that his next attack
is going to be insanely strong.
**[03:42] ---**
He distanced himself so that
we wouldn't get hurt by it!
**[03:50] ---**
*Dai, I won't try to stop you anymore!*
**[03:53] ---**
*I believe in that power of yours
that's made miracle after miracle happen!*
**[03:58] ---**
*Give him everything you've got!*
**[04:19] ---**
Ten...
**[04:21] ---**
Nine...
**[04:23] ---**
*If he can use Kazap,
there's only one attack he'll use.*
**[04:29] ---**
*The last gift from
his dead father, Gigabreak!*
**[04:34] ---**
*I could stop him right now, but...*
**[04:44] ---**
Why bother?!
**[04:47] ---**
Using this attack will kill me anyway!
**[04:53] ---**
Then I shall use these few seconds
to increase my power!
**[05:04] ---**
Five...
**[05:06] ---**
Four...
**[05:08] ---**
Three...
**[05:10] ---**
Two...
**[05:12] ---**
One...
**[05:21] ---**
Zero!
**[05:40] ---**
GIGABREAK
**[05:42] ---**
I knew it! Then I shall match it
with my greatest, final attack!
**[05:48] ---**
Using all of my life...
**[05:53] ---**
Ultra Combustion Slash!
**[05:55] ---**
ULTRA COMBUSTION SLASH
**[06:10] ---**
Come on!
**[06:15] ---**
Now witness this!
**[06:27] ---**
Shatter before this single strike
that contains my life!
**[06:31] ---**
You won't shatter this!
**[06:33] ---**
This is what every battle has led to!
**[06:40] ---**
This is the greatest attack I can do!
**[06:51] ---**
It can't be!
**[07:01] ---**
GIGA STRASH
**[07:03] ---**
Giga Strash!
**[07:33] ---**
Giga Strash...
**[07:36] ---**
Well done!
**[07:45] ---**
Everything that I have...
**[07:48] ---**
is defeated!
**[08:11] ---**
He won!
**[08:14] ---**
He really won! Dai did it!
**[08:28] ---**
*That's it for Hadlar.*
**[08:31] ---**
*As a Superior Being,
now that Hadlar has been defeated...*
**[08:35] ---**
*he's going crumble to black ash.*
**[08:41] ---**
*Albinass... I understand now...*
**[08:44] ---**
*why you were willing to
give your life to prevent this.*
**[08:55] ---**
Hadlar...
**[08:57] ---**
Don't say anything, Dai.
**[09:00] ---**
I've lost.
**[09:02] ---**
I've lost again.
**[09:06] ---**
I've always lost to Avan and his students.
**[09:11] ---**
But I'm still satisfied.
**[09:15] ---**
Avan's attack with Baran's power.
**[09:20] ---**
I could never beat that.
**[09:24] ---**
Was that another attack
you created in your training?
**[09:28] ---**
No.
**[09:29] ---**
I came up with it just now.
**[09:32] ---**
Just now?
**[09:34] ---**
I felt I needed the power I got
from both Master and Dad...
**[09:39] ---**
Otherwise, I couldn't defeat you.
**[09:43] ---**
So I tried it at the last moment.
**[09:52] ---**
So in all of that you created
the most powerful attack ever.
**[09:59] ---**
I can't believe
I thought I could defeat you.
**[10:05] ---**
Hadlar...
**[10:07] ---**
I regret nothing.
**[10:09] ---**
In fact, I'm grateful.
**[10:12] ---**
Being at my lowest when I couldn't
defeat you was when my life really began.
**[10:20] ---**
It was short,
but it was indeed fulfilling.
**[10:28] ---**
Farewell, Dai, the Hero!
**[10:34] ---**
For my last wish...
**[10:36] ---**
at least let me touch the hand
that defeated me...
**[10:42] ---**
before my body crumbles to ashes.
**[11:07] ---**
What's this?!
**[11:15] ---**
What is that?!
**[11:21] ---**
A flute?!
**[11:26] ---**
Killvearn!
**[11:30] ---**
I hope you enjoyed that, my friends.
**[11:33] ---**
That melody was a little elegy from me.
**[11:37] ---**
To the two who gave everything
to show us a magnificent fight.
**[11:43] ---**
This is for them.
**[11:45] ---**
Dai! Get away from there!
**[11:51] ---**
He's too weakened to move!
**[11:54] ---**
It's too late!
**[11:56] ---**
Come forth, flames of the Underworld!
**[12:03] ---**
Dai!
**[12:29] ---**
Well? Isn't my Kill Trap splendid?
**[12:32] ---**
How cool!
**[12:34] ---**
"Kill Trap"?!
**[12:36] ---**
It's a Trap of Death!
**[12:38] ---**
Vearn Palace is full of
various traps that I've laid.
**[12:46] ---**
This is one of them.
**[12:49] ---**
The Nine of Diamonds!
**[12:51] ---**
It lets me summon the most powerful
flames of the Underworld at will.
**[12:56] ---**
It's the ultimate spellcraft.
**[12:59] ---**
To be honest, I could have activated it
the moment you entered Vearn Palace.
**[13:06] ---**
*He was waiting!*
**[13:09] ---**
*Waiting for Dai and Hadlar
to be exhausted!*
**[13:12] ---**
You! You dare defile an honorable duel?!
**[13:17] ---**
Hyunckel!
Forget about Killvearn right now!
**[13:21] ---**
Hurry! We have to help Dai!
**[13:23] ---**
It's futile, young lady.
**[13:26] ---**
Can't you see it's already too late?
**[13:31] ---**
*The eight all-consuming flames
gather at the central point*
**[13:37] ---**
*and all living creatures within
are incinerated.*
**[13:41] ---**
*No power can ever escape it.*
**[13:46] ---**
No!
**[13:47] ---**
He gets to die with the Hero,
so Hadlar should be pleased.
**[14:00] ---**
Don't assume it'll work out that easily!
**[14:16] ---**
Popp!
**[14:17] ---**
I figured something like this
would happen!
**[14:22] ---**
So long as I'm here,
don't expect your schemes to work!
**[14:30] ---**
GIGA STRASH
**[14:35] ---**
ULTRA COMBUSTION SLASH
**[14:39] ---**
So long as I'm here,
don't expect your schemes to work!
**[14:43] ---**
Popp?! Is that you?!
**[14:45] ---**
Yeah! Dai's okay!
**[14:48] ---**
You dove in just before the trap closed?!
**[14:51] ---**
I figured that Vearn would try something!
**[14:56] ---**
Hadlar and his Royal Guard
may be honorable,
**[15:01] ---**
but this is Vearn Palace!
**[15:04] ---**
Nothing is as untrustworthy as
a fair fight from the Dark Army!
**[15:09] ---**
*Popp...*
**[15:12] ---**
It's always that brat...
**[15:17] ---**
Oh well.
**[15:21] ---**
*Killvearn disappeared?*
**[15:23] ---**
*Why would he after his trap was thwarted?!*
**[15:37] ---**
It's no good! My Crackle spell
can't hold it off forever!
**[15:42] ---**
Somebody hurry up and do something!
**[15:45] ---**
Got it!
**[15:46] ---**
Crackle!
**[15:51] ---**
It's no good!
My Crackle spell isn't enough!
**[15:55] ---**
But Popp's is holding it back!
**[15:58] ---**
Popp's Magic Power is
much stronger than mine!
**[16:04] ---**
Popp!
**[16:05] ---**
Isn't there...
Isn't there anything we can do?!
**[16:09] ---**
At this rate, they'll...
**[16:12] ---**
Step aside, you two!
**[16:17] ---**
You're using Grand Cross?!
**[16:19] ---**
This trap can't be broken by normal means!
**[16:23] ---**
It has to be blown away
by the greatest power!
**[16:27] ---**
In terms of energy output,
no attack can beat Grand Cross!
**[16:37] ---**
Popp! Hyunckel's going to use Grand Cross!
Look out!
**[16:44] ---**
Here goes, Popp!
Expect this to hurt a little!
**[16:54] ---**
Grand Cross!
**[17:19] ---**
Impossible!
**[17:21] ---**
How could it repel my Grand Cross?!
**[17:25] ---**
Hey! Nothing's happened in here!
**[17:31] ---**
It had no effect on the inside?
**[17:37] ---**
Could it be...
the reason the Reaper retreated...
**[17:43] ---**
Don't you see what lovely faces
the humans make?
**[17:47] ---**
Even I can't match you
in terms of cruelty.
**[17:53] ---**
You're probably the cruelest
in the Underworld.
**[17:57] ---**
What an honor.
**[18:02] ---**
What do we do?! What can we do?!
**[18:06] ---**
Leona, we can't just stand by
and watch them get burned to death!
**[18:12] ---**
Leona?!
**[18:14] ---**
There's no way!
**[18:16] ---**
The Princess knows that!
That's why she remains silent!
**[18:22] ---**
There's nothing that we can do!
**[18:25] ---**
No!
**[18:31] ---**
Even the greatest Aura energy
of Grand Cross was repelled.
**[18:36] ---**
That means...
**[18:38] ---**
that trap can only be broken
by magical means.
**[18:45] ---**
Otherwise it wouldn't explain
why Grand Cross had no effect.
**[18:50] ---**
Popp is holding off the flames
inside with his Magic Power.
**[18:54] ---**
But, out here, none of us
have Magic Power even close to that.
**[19:00] ---**
That means there's only one way
for us to rescue those two.
**[19:05] ---**
We have to defeat Killvearn,
the one using the spellcraft!
**[19:10] ---**
He knows that all to well,
which is why he retreated!
**[19:15] ---**
To somewhere deep in Vearn Palace.
**[19:19] ---**
Finding and defeating him now
will take too long!
**[19:23] ---**
He's closed off
our only hope of saving them!
**[19:39] ---**
*He's right.
Leona and I don't have the Magic Power...*
**[19:44] ---**
Leona! Use Kaglimmer!
**[19:47] ---**
Like in the Cave of Trials, even
incomplete, casting Kaglimmer should...
**[19:55] ---**
It's no good... Maam.
**[19:58] ---**
Huh?
**[19:59] ---**
Don't forget.
**[20:00] ---**
In order to stop Vearn Palace
**[20:05] ---**
I already used Kaglimmer.
**[20:09] ---**
This place is already being affected
by my Kaglimmer spell.
**[20:15] ---**
Purification Spells have no effect
if the same person casts them twice.
**[20:20] ---**
It's just a waste of Magic Power.
**[20:25] ---**
How... How can you be so calm, Leona?!
**[20:29] ---**
I'm not calm!
**[20:42] ---**
But, we have to remain collected
at times like this.
**[20:47] ---**
We have to focus
and figure out what we can do.
**[20:53] ---**
Our enemy is far beyond us.
**[20:57] ---**
They have the minds of evil geniuses!
**[21:06] ---**
*I'm sorry, Leona.*
**[21:17] ---**
*It's no good, Maam.*
**[21:19] ---**
*Physical power will never work!*
**[21:22] ---**
*If your firsts or my Wave Strike
had any effect on those flames,*
**[21:26] ---**
*Killvearn would never have left
without taking us out.*
**[21:32] ---**
*Dai, Popp! Don't give up in there!*
**[21:36] ---**
They do love their futile resistance.
**[22:07] ---**
*omoeba boku wa bukiyou de*
**[22:07] ---**
*To be honest I was clumsy*
**[22:12] ---**
*shouganaikurai tomawarishita*
**[22:12] ---**
*And it took me forever to get here*
**[22:18] ---**
*kodokukannsura mo buki ni shite*
**[22:18] ---**
*I used even loneliness as a weapon*
**[22:24] ---**
*tannjun na kotae wo sagashita dannjon*
**[22:24] ---**
*I searched the dungeon for a simple answer*
**[22:30] ---**

**[22:30] ---**
*Even if I cast aside
Rightness and kindness*
**[22:35] ---**

**[22:35] ---**
*I just want to be there for you*
**[22:41] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga*
**[22:41] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[22:47] ---**
*ari to arayuru mahou yori muzukashikute*
**[22:47] ---**
*Is harder than any magic spell*
**[22:53] ---**
*konnani mo chikaku ni itanoni*
**[22:53] ---**
*Even though you're so close to me*
**[22:59] ---**
*aishiteiru*
**[22:59] ---**
*I love you*
**[23:02] ---**
*imasara kizuitanosa*
**[23:02] ---**
*I finally realized it*
**[23:05] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu tame ni*
**[23:05] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[23:10] ---**
*boku wa kitto umarete kitannda*
**[23:10] ---**
*Must be the reason I was born*
**[23:16] ---**
*shigamitsuku yoru furihodoite*
**[23:16] ---**
*I shake off the clinging night*
**[23:22] ---**
*And go to see you*
**[23:22] ---**
*ai ni iku*
**[23:25] ---**
*Right now to where you are*
**[23:25] ---**
*ima sugu kimi no moto e*
**[23:33] ---**
*Dai and Popp are caught
in Killvearn's trap.*
**[23:37] ---**
*The blazing flames of the Underworld
close in on them.*
**[23:40] ---**
*As their stamina ebbs and all seems lost,*
**[23:44] ---**
*a single ray of light shines down on Popp.*
**[23:47] ---**
*Can Dai and Popp escape
from Killvearn's Kill Trap?*
**[23:52] ---**
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,*

THE HOPE IN THE FLAMES
**[01:52] ---**
Dai...
**[01:54] ---**
Looks like we're screwed now.
**[02:00] ---**
Darn it!
**[02:03] ---**
*It's no good.
Even if I keep holding the flames off,*
**[02:07] ---**
*my stamina won't last!*
**[02:10] ---**
*That said, my hands are full as it is!*
**[02:15] ---**
*I guess this is it...*
**[02:20] ---**
Popp!
**[02:22] ---**
Sorry.
**[02:23] ---**
I went and jumped in here...
**[02:28] ---**
but I couldn't do anything.
**[02:31] ---**
It looks like... this is... the end.
**[02:36] ---**
Popp.
**[02:40] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[02:45] ---**
Dammit!
**[02:51] ---**
You fools!
**[02:54] ---**
Hadlar?!
**[02:58] ---**
You two...
**[03:00] ---**
You call yourselves Disciples of Avan?!
**[03:04] ---**
For you two to die in a place like this
**[03:08] ---**
and still call yourselves that...
**[03:11] ---**
You would disappoint Avan
in the afterlife!
**[03:14] ---**
What?!
**[03:15] ---**
Look at me!
**[03:17] ---**
The Disciples of Avan
that I gave my life to trying to defeat...
**[03:22] ---**
had the most dauntless of souls!
**[03:27] ---**
They were warriors of hope!
**[03:29] ---**
A will of iron that
never gives up until the very end!
**[03:33] ---**
Isn't that...
**[03:36] ---**
Isn't that supposed to be the greatest
weapon of a Disciple of Avan?!
**[03:45] ---**
Hadlar...
**[03:47] ---**
The bastard!
He's the one who killed Master Avan!
**[03:53] ---**
*And yet...*
**[03:54] ---**
*he said exactly what Master would say!*
**[03:58] ---**
Now do something about it!
**[04:01] ---**
I thought I fought the Disciples of Avan!
**[04:05] ---**
Don't make me a clown
who lost to a bunch of posers!
**[04:14] ---**
*Our enemy is lecturing us.*
**[04:17] ---**
*Having fought us, Hadlar understands
what it means to be Disciples of Avan...*
**[04:23] ---**
*more than we do ourselves!*
**[04:27] ---**
In that case,
who cares if we can't do anything!
**[04:31] ---**
We'll resist until the very, very end!
**[04:42] ---**
Popp!
**[04:48] ---**
*Okay. Now what?*
**[04:52] ---**
*It doesn't change the fact
that we're out of options!*
**[05:02] ---**
Wait... There one last way out!
**[05:05] ---**
A way out?!
**[05:06] ---**
Dai, you can still cast spells, right?
**[05:10] ---**
Yeah, I can.
**[05:12] ---**
But I don't know about my aim.
**[05:14] ---**
Plus, my Magic Power isn't...
**[05:17] ---**
You don't need to aim at anything!
**[05:19] ---**
Huh?
**[05:20] ---**
You just need to cast one spell.
**[05:23] ---**
Zoom!
**[05:25] ---**
Cast Zoom right there, and fly out above!
**[05:30] ---**
If I do that,
I'll hit that wall of flames!
**[05:33] ---**
The sky will be visible when you do!
**[05:37] ---**
Thanks to my Medroa!
**[05:39] ---**
That's it!
**[05:40] ---**
Yeah! Medroa!
**[05:42] ---**
It can blow everything away!
**[05:46] ---**
*This trap works by focusing
eight flames in one point!*
**[05:54] ---**
That means, if I cast Medroa above
where the flames have gathered...
**[06:00] ---**
it should disperse them,
leaving the sky visible for an instant!
**[06:06] ---**
Let's bet on that instant!
**[06:09] ---**
Okay!
**[06:10] ---**
Listen! Use Zoom to fly up
when you see the sky!
**[06:14] ---**
I'll grab onto you immediately!
**[06:17] ---**
Casting Medroa is probably going to
drain me of all my Magic Power.
**[06:22] ---**
So that's our best option.
**[06:25] ---**
Got it.
**[06:34] ---**
What are you waiting for?!
**[06:38] ---**
If there's a way, try it before you die!
**[06:42] ---**
Forget about me.
**[06:44] ---**
I'm doomed to be a corpse soon anyway.
**[06:48] ---**
Make sure you two make it out!
**[06:52] ---**
Right!
**[06:57] ---**
Everyone!
**[06:59] ---**
Popp?!
**[07:01] ---**
We're going to make our last attempt!
Pray for us!
**[07:05] ---**
Popp!
**[07:10] ---**
Here goes!
**[07:18] ---**
Popp?!
**[07:24] ---**
Crap! If I weaken my Ice-type magic
even a little, I'll be overpowered!
**[07:30] ---**
Dammit!
**[07:38] ---**
*It's no good!
I can't cast Medroa like this!*
**[07:46] ---**
Dammit!
**[08:05] ---**
*Hadlar...?!*
**[08:06] ---**
*With his Magic Power...?!*
**[08:14] ---**
What the hell are you doing?!
**[08:17] ---**
Ignore me! I'm doing what I want!
**[08:22] ---**
This is your chance! Cast your spell!
**[08:26] ---**
Hadlar?!
**[08:28] ---**
I gave my life for this fight!
**[08:30] ---**
I won't let Killvearn's trap spoil it!
**[08:36] ---**
If my fight, if the fight
of my companions...
**[08:40] ---**
end without any victors,
**[08:43] ---**
there'll be no one
to tell the world about them!
**[08:49] ---**
Hurry, Popp!
**[08:51] ---**
This corpse has risen!
Consider it a stroke of luck!
**[09:11] ---**
Dai! Here we go!
**[09:14] ---**
Right!
**[09:16] ---**
Do it!
**[09:18] ---**
Medroa!
**[09:38] ---**
*The sky!*
**[09:40] ---**
*It opened!*
**[09:43] ---**
Now!
**[09:45] ---**
Hurry and...
**[10:00] ---**
Zoom!
**[10:28] ---**
Dai...
**[10:30] ---**
Where's Popp?
**[10:34] ---**
Huh? Wait...
**[10:36] ---**
What happened?!
**[10:37] ---**
Where's Popp?!
**[10:49] ---**
Popp!
**[10:52] ---**
Maam?
**[10:54] ---**
I messed up.
**[10:56] ---**
I never thought it would end like this.
**[11:01] ---**
Sorry.
**[11:04] ---**
I can't... see the future... with you.
**[11:11] ---**
Popp!
**[11:14] ---**
Popp!
**[11:22] ---**
It's complete.
**[11:24] ---**
The Nine of Diamonds
is in its final stage.
**[11:28] ---**
It's time to say goodbye,
little Mage.
**[11:34] ---**
Help... Somebody...
**[11:40] ---**
Somebody do something!
**[11:43] ---**
I love this final moment.
**[11:48] ---**
Everything focuses at the center diamond
and vanishes to the Underworld.
**[11:53] ---**
Not even ash is left behind.
**[11:58] ---**
Like fireworks,
I love how sentimental it ends.
**[12:02] ---**
You're in a good mood...
**[12:05] ---**
considering one of them escaped.
**[12:07] ---**
I have more Kill Traps.
**[12:10] ---**
I have as many traps as cards
scattered all over Vearn Palace.
**[12:16] ---**
In fact, we're lucky we got that brat now.
**[12:22] ---**
You hold him in high regard for a human.
**[12:27] ---**
You mustn't underestimate humans.
**[12:29] ---**
In terms of growth potential,
Popp's is greater than Dai's.
**[12:34] ---**
None of them will ever reach this place.
I'll take care of them all.
**[12:40] ---**
One by one, little by little. Right?
**[12:45] ---**
To the end of Popp. Cheers!
**[12:49] ---**
Cheers!
**[13:03] ---**
Hadlar?!
**[13:10] ---**
It looks like you enjoy
futile resistance as well.
**[13:14] ---**
Don't be stupid!
**[13:16] ---**
Don't give up! Stand up and try again!
**[13:19] ---**
I'm out of Magic Power and stamina.
**[13:25] ---**
But I managed to save Dai.
**[13:28] ---**
I think that's enough.
**[13:29] ---**
You little fool!
**[13:32] ---**
If you hadn't hesitated...
**[13:35] ---**
you would have made it out as well!
**[13:40] ---**
Why did you?!
**[13:44] ---**
Sorry. I froze when I saw you.
**[13:49] ---**
What?
**[13:51] ---**
In that moment, seeing you
desperately try to help us survive...
**[13:56] ---**
You didn't feel like a stranger anymore.
**[14:03] ---**
I knew you wouldn't make it either way.
**[14:09] ---**
But I just couldn't... leave you behind.
**[14:14] ---**
I mean, just look at you!
**[14:16] ---**
*You fought for your honor.*
**[14:20] ---**
*You worked with your companions.*
**[14:23] ---**
*You worked hard.*
**[14:25] ---**
*To fight us fair and square,
you desperately...*
**[14:30] ---**
*you desperately did all you could!*
**[14:36] ---**
How are you any different from us?
**[14:41] ---**
We're the same!
**[14:43] ---**
Popp...
**[14:45] ---**
you...
**[14:47] ---**
Seeing you crumble in that instant...
**[14:51] ---**
I couldn't bring myself to look away.
**[14:54] ---**
I reached out to you.
**[14:56] ---**
That's why... I couldn't grab Dai.
**[15:01] ---**
I'm such a klutz.
**[15:04] ---**
To end up dying
trying to save my mortal enemy.
**[15:09] ---**
Master Avan's might scold me
in the afterlife.
**[15:13] ---**
Nah. He wouldn't scold me.
**[15:17] ---**
He'd understand how I feel.
**[15:20] ---**
Popp!
**[15:31] ---**
Hadlar?
**[15:38] ---**
Are you... crying?
**[15:42] ---**
Popp... I can't believe it.
**[15:47] ---**
To give your life...
**[15:49] ---**
for someone like me!
**[15:54] ---**
Forgive me!
**[15:59] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[16:01] ---**
If you hadn't been here,
I couldn't have cast Medroa.
**[16:06] ---**
Thank you, Hadlar.
**[16:13] ---**
Your tears are evaporating instantly.
**[16:16] ---**
It's a pretty shabby place to die.
**[16:20] ---**
But let's go together!
Master Avan's waiting in the afterlife!
**[16:30] ---**
*God!*
**[16:31] ---**
*God of humans!*
**[16:34] ---**
*As a Darkling, this is my first prayer!*
**[16:37] ---**
*If indeed you truly have the power
to preside over the lives of humans...*
**[16:44] ---**
*save him!*
**[16:46] ---**
*Save this magnificent man!*
**[16:51] ---**
*Please don't let him die
for a monster like me!*
**[16:59] ---**
God!
**[17:04] ---**
And now, the grand finale!
**[17:08] ---**
Burn away, you filth!
**[17:13] ---**
Darn it!
**[17:15] ---**
No!
**[17:18] ---**
Popp!
**[17:47] ---**
Popp?
**[17:51] ---**
What is this?
**[17:55] ---**
Now, now, Popp.
**[17:57] ---**
We can't have you going to the afterlife.
**[18:03] ---**
Even if you had,
I wouldn't have been waiting there.
**[18:09] ---**
No way...
**[18:11] ---**
Is this a dream?
**[18:14] ---**
No...
**[18:16] ---**
I thought...
**[18:25] ---**
Impossible!
**[18:33] ---**
How?
**[18:38] ---**
How?!
**[18:50] ---**
M-Master?!
**[18:54] ---**
*It can't be!*
**[18:57] ---**
*I must be dreaming!*
**[18:59] ---**
*Or...*
**[19:00] ---**
*is this really the afterlife?!*
**[19:13] ---**
You'll have to wait a moment
to be healed, Popp.
**[19:20] ---**
It seems that I owe you
a word of gratitude...
**[19:25] ---**
Hadlar.
**[19:26] ---**
You... Are you really Avan?
**[19:32] ---**
I'm surprised. I never thought
you of all people would save my student.
**[19:38] ---**
The Hadlar I knew would
never have done such a thing.
**[19:42] ---**
It appears that you are
no longer the same man
**[19:47] ---**
that I once knew you to be,
Dark Lord Hadlar.
**[19:51] ---**
You...
**[19:53] ---**
I know it's strange saying this
to someone I've fought again and again...
**[19:59] ---**
but truly...
**[20:01] ---**
Do you intend to say, "thank you"?!
**[20:05] ---**
You're soft! You're as soft as ever!
**[20:09] ---**
You make me sick!
**[20:25] ---**
You won't be meddling again this time...
**[20:32] ---**
damn Reaper!
**[20:46] ---**
That damn Killvearn...
**[20:49] ---**
Hadlar?!
**[20:55] ---**
I guess it looks like
**[20:58] ---**
that truly was the last of my strength.
**[21:03] ---**
Hadlar... you...
**[21:06] ---**
Hear me, Avan.
**[21:09] ---**
Dark King Vearn is a dangerous man.
**[21:12] ---**
Forget any mercy. Be cold as ice.
**[21:17] ---**
It's your power...
**[21:20] ---**
that your students will need
for the battle ahead.
**[21:33] ---**
They were glorious.
**[21:36] ---**
Those students of yours.
**[21:40] ---**
So much so... they even...
changed who I was.
**[21:49] ---**
With your power...
**[21:51] ---**
lead them... to victory.
**[21:56] ---**
Hadlar!
**[21:58] ---**
That's...
**[22:00] ---**
how you can...
**[22:03] ---**
show your gratitude to me.
**[22:13] ---**
Hadlar...
**[22:15] ---**
Popp.
**[22:17] ---**
It seems the god of you humans...
**[22:20] ---**
has a sense of poetic irony.
**[22:24] ---**
Huh?
**[22:26] ---**
In return for my life...
**[22:30] ---**
your god brought back
the treasure I once stole...
**[22:36] ---**
and returned it to you.
**[22:41] ---**
Not only that...
**[22:45] ---**
your god let me die...
**[22:50] ---**
right here...
**[22:52] ---**
in the arms... of this man.
**[23:06] ---**
*Hadlar.*
**[23:08] ---**
*In your last moments, you were one of us.*
**[23:13] ---**
*You were...*
**[23:16] ---**
*our friend.*
**[23:19] ---**
Hadlar...
**[23:33] ---**
*It was Avan who saved Popp and Hadlar.*
**[23:37] ---**
*He was believed to have died
protecting Dai and Popp*
**[23:40] ---**
*from Dark Commander Hadlar,
but with his return,*
**[23:43] ---**
*the Disciples of Avan
are both bewildered and overjoyed.*
**[23:47] ---**
*Together with the greatest possible ally,
the party heads to Vearn's palace.*
**[23:53] ---**

RETURN OF THE GREAT HERO
**[02:03] ---**
Hadlar...
**[02:05] ---**
*Hadlar.*
**[02:07] ---**
*In your last moments, you were one of us.*
**[02:11] ---**
*You were...*
**[02:13] ---**
*our friend.*
**[02:15] ---**
Up you go!
**[02:25] ---**
I see you've matured well, Popp.
It's been quite a while.
**[02:32] ---**
Sh-Shut up!
**[02:33] ---**
Oh my.
**[02:34] ---**
You're not... You can't be Master!
**[02:37] ---**
The real Master wouldn't
suddenly return after all this time!
**[02:41] ---**
This is a dream or an illusion
or that dirty Zaboera in disguise again!
**[02:46] ---**
That's not possible, Popp!
**[02:50] ---**
That's a Magic Circle of light.
**[02:53] ---**
Even a perfectly disguised
dark sorcerer couldn't cast it!
**[03:01] ---**
Then, Leona, is that...?!
**[03:04] ---**
Is... Is it really?!
**[03:19] ---**
Then...
**[03:21] ---**
That's right.
**[03:22] ---**
Forgive me for
causing you all such concern.
**[03:26] ---**
I am neither ghost
nor imposter nor illusion.
**[03:31] ---**
And obviously not an identical stranger.
**[03:34] ---**
It's really the real me.
**[03:37] ---**
Master Avan!
**[03:38] ---**
Master Avan!
**[03:41] ---**
Master!
**[03:42] ---**
Master!
**[03:56] ---**
Howl, Inferno!
**[04:20] ---**
Take this! Northern Grand Blade!
**[04:29] ---**
Is something wrong, Queen Flora?
**[04:32] ---**
I sensed something...
**[04:34] ---**
up there.
**[04:39] ---**
-Master!
-Master!
**[04:41] ---**
Master!
**[04:44] ---**
Dai.
**[04:45] ---**
Maam.
**[04:47] ---**
Popp.
**[04:49] ---**
Master!
**[04:50] ---**
Oh my! My good clothes!
**[04:53] ---**
I can't help it!
I just wanna hug you right now!
**[04:58] ---**
That's it! Down you go!
**[05:02] ---**
Popp, I sensed your Magic Power
from a long distance.
**[05:07] ---**
Your power was most impressive.
**[05:10] ---**
I've grown a lot, you know!
**[05:13] ---**
Master!
**[05:14] ---**
Those clothes... I never expected you
to become a Martial Artist, Maam.
**[05:21] ---**
Dai.
**[05:23] ---**
You have truly become an impressive Hero.
**[05:28] ---**
You all have changed so much.
**[05:32] ---**
Even without me,
through your own strength,
**[05:36] ---**
to see you all come so far
makes me sincerely proud.
**[05:42] ---**
And...
**[05:50] ---**
Hyunckel.
**[05:54] ---**
Hyunckel.
**[05:56] ---**
I know you've devoted yourself
to a never-ending battle.
**[05:59] ---**
But you're allowed to express
your honest emotions sometimes.
**[06:04] ---**
These are... my honest emotions, Princess.
**[06:10] ---**
*I suppose this is what it means...*
**[06:15] ---**
*to be unable to show one's face.*
**[06:18] ---**
Bartos was the strongest knight
of the Dark Army...
**[06:22] ---**
and my father!
**[06:25] ---**
The malice you sense in my blade is
my hatred towards you, my father's killer!
**[06:31] ---**
Wait, Hyunckel!
**[06:36] ---**
Not all students of Avan
respect their teacher and love justice.
**[06:42] ---**
Some of them love violence
and have embraced the darkness.
**[06:47] ---**
After seeing just how weak...
**[06:49] ---**
justice really is!
**[06:51] ---**
But...!
**[06:53] ---**
I am Hyunckel!
**[06:56] ---**
One of the Six Legion Commanders
of the Dark Army!
**[06:58] ---**
Hyunckel, the Undead Legion Commander!
**[07:06] ---**
*I don't deserve your forgiveness.*
**[07:14] ---**
Hey, I bet this is our chance
to see Hyunckel be all weepy!
**[07:21] ---**
It's a rare sight!
**[07:23] ---**
Popp, don't be like that!
**[07:26] ---**
Can anyone blame me?
**[07:28] ---**
Huh?!
**[07:30] ---**
Let him be for now.
**[07:32] ---**
Master, Hyunckel was...
**[07:35] ---**
It's alright. You don't need to explain.
**[07:42] ---**
*Hyunckel.*
**[07:44] ---**
*You're here now,
giving your strength to help the others.*
**[07:49] ---**
*That alone brings me...*
**[07:52] ---**
*It brings me great joy.*
**[07:56] ---**
Master Avan.
**[07:58] ---**
Princess Leona. You're here, too?
**[08:04] ---**
I was given this by Queen Flora.
**[08:08] ---**
I see. If she deemed you worthy,
then I trust her judgement.
**[08:14] ---**
Master Avan, please explain.
**[08:18] ---**
How did you come back after dying?
**[08:24] ---**
I was told you died on Dermline Island
during your battle with Hadlar.
**[08:30] ---**
*Back then, Master...*
**[08:40] ---**
A spell?! Impossible!
**[08:43] ---**
You should be out of Magic Power!
**[08:46] ---**
This spell requires
very little Magic Power.
**[08:49] ---**
Instead, it turns life energy
into explosive power to defeat enemies!
**[08:56] ---**
Wait! This spell is...!
**[09:01] ---**
Stop! Don't do it!
**[09:05] ---**
Popp, Dai! I leave the rest to you!
**[09:10] ---**
Stop!
**[09:17] ---**
Megante!
**[09:26] ---**
That's right.
**[09:27] ---**
Master tried to protect us...
**[09:31] ---**
...and cast Megante.
**[09:34] ---**
If anyone other than a Priest
casts Megante,
**[09:37] ---**
their body is obliterated
and they can't be resurrected.
**[09:50] ---**
I don't mean to doubt you...
**[09:53] ---**
but please tell us what happened.
**[09:57] ---**
Well...
**[09:59] ---**
it's very simple.
**[10:01] ---**
I never really died!
**[10:03] ---**
What?!
**[10:13] ---**
PUFF
FIRE DRAGON TRANSFORMATION SPELL
**[10:18] ---**
REAPER FLUTE
**[10:26] ---**
I've been alive this whole time.
**[10:32] ---**
B-But, back there...
**[10:35] ---**
I didn't die.
**[10:37] ---**
But we saw you...
**[10:38] ---**
I didn't die.
**[10:40] ---**
I was told you died!
**[10:42] ---**
I didn't die!
**[10:47] ---**
W-Wait just a minute.
**[10:50] ---**
How is that even possible?
**[10:53] ---**
Like yourself, I too was given
something by Queen Flora.
**[11:00] ---**
This... is what saved my life.
**[11:04] ---**
This is...
**[11:06] ---**
This is the Amulet of Carl.
**[11:09] ---**
Take this as well.
**[11:11] ---**
It's the Amulet of Carl
that's passed down in the royal family.
**[11:16] ---**
I'm sure it will help you someday.
**[11:19] ---**
*Back when I went to face Dark Lord Hadlar,*
**[11:23] ---**
*Queen Flora gave me this treasure
of her royal family.*
**[11:27] ---**
Megante!
**[11:33] ---**
*In the explosion from my Megante spell,*
**[11:37] ---**
*this was damaged in my stead.*
**[11:54] ---**
*It's basically a kind of protection item.*
**[12:00] ---**
As a result, I managed to survive,
though only barely.
**[12:10] ---**
Then...
**[12:11] ---**
Then why didn't you show up
to help before now, Master?!
**[12:16] ---**
We risked our lives to fight
because we believed you had died!
**[12:21] ---**
Are you saying
you knew this whole time and did nothing?!
**[12:25] ---**
That's right! Do you know how much
I grieved when I heard you'd died?!
**[12:31] ---**
We all fought desperately for you!
**[12:40] ---**
There must be some reason, right Master?
**[12:44] ---**
It's because...
**[12:58] ---**
Everyone, I will explain in due time.
**[13:01] ---**
But first...
**[13:03] ---**
I want you all to run
to the central palace as fast as you can!
**[13:09] ---**
Huh?!
**[13:14] ---**
Why do we have to race
at a time like this?!
**[13:18] ---**
Just answer the question and...
**[13:20] ---**
Shut up!
**[13:23] ---**
All I have to say right now is this.
**[13:26] ---**
Trust me when I tell you that I am here
to defeat the Dark King like all of you.
**[13:33] ---**
That is all.
**[13:35] ---**
I am no longer your Master.
**[13:39] ---**
I am a new ally who will fight with you.
**[14:00] ---**
W-Wait a minute!
**[14:03] ---**
I-I haven't regained the stamina...
**[14:14] ---**
*Thank you, everyone.*
**[14:22] ---**
Oh my. You seem alright.
**[14:26] ---**
Unfortunately for you, I'm quite immortal.
**[14:29] ---**
Immortal! Immortal!
**[14:31] ---**
Piercing my heart
isn't nearly enough to kill me.
**[14:35] ---**
I was interrupted earlier
by Hadlar in his dying moments
**[14:40] ---**
but I won't be stopped again.
**[14:44] ---**
I'll be sure to kill you!
**[14:46] ---**
My instincts tell me that
I can't afford to let you live.
**[14:54] ---**
Go ahead... if you can.
**[15:05] ---**
Why did Master suddenly
tell us to run to the palace?
**[15:09] ---**
How should we know?
**[15:11] ---**
But if Master says to run,
we obey and run.
**[15:15] ---**
It may seem meaningless or unimportant,
but there's always a reason for it.
**[15:21] ---**
That's always been Master Avan's style.
**[15:26] ---**
Go ahead if I can, you say?
**[15:31] ---**
You knew I was alive,
yet you sent the others off regardless.
**[15:36] ---**
You seem to be quite confident.
**[15:39] ---**
That sort of attitude will cost you.
**[15:44] ---**
You impressed me by thwarting
my Nine of Diamonds,
**[15:49] ---**
but that wasn't my only Kill Trap.
**[15:52] ---**
The others won't be able to
proceed unharmed.
**[15:58] ---**
Besides...
**[15:59] ---**
no matter what powerful spells you have,
I doubt you can do anything now.
**[16:07] ---**
Mr. Reaper... or whatever they call you...
**[16:11] ---**
do those Kill Traps of yours activate
automatically when someone snares them?
**[16:18] ---**
Those sorts of traps tend to be activated
by the creator's Magic Power.
**[16:25] ---**
But your hands appear full at the moment.
**[16:28] ---**
Y-You...!
**[16:30] ---**
Was this your plan all along?!
**[16:33] ---**
By keeping me here, all the Kill Traps
to King Vearn's palace won't activate!
**[16:40] ---**
That's why you sent them ahead!
**[16:44] ---**
You're quite sharp.
**[16:47] ---**
You're more dangerous than I thought.
**[16:50] ---**
Enough chit chat. It's time to die.
**[16:55] ---**
After that, I'll wipe out the others
with new Kill Traps.
**[17:01] ---**
Most of my Kill Traps
are in the palace anyways.
**[17:05] ---**
Oh? That's useful information.
**[17:09] ---**
I'll keep that in mind down the road.
**[17:12] ---**
Enough!
**[17:16] ---**
W-What?
**[17:18] ---**
You can't move?!
**[17:22] ---**
I don't need a shave, thank you.
**[17:24] ---**
I already had one before I came here.
**[17:28] ---**
W-Why?!
**[17:30] ---**
My arm, no, half my body won't move!
**[17:35] ---**
W-Where did this feather come from?!
**[17:38] ---**
When you first fell,
**[17:41] ---**
I still sensed malice,
so I took precautions.
**[17:50] ---**
How does it feel to be caught
in a magical trap yourself?
**[17:57] ---**
Hadlar was once a cruel man.
**[18:01] ---**
He did terrible things to people.
**[18:04] ---**
But he always did it himself.
**[18:09] ---**
When fighting me,
he always came forward to fight.
**[18:14] ---**
But you are far lower than that!
**[18:19] ---**
You sit back and enjoy watching
the people you trap suffer!
**[18:26] ---**
You're lower than cruel, you're barbaric!
**[18:32] ---**
A warrior takes pride...
**[18:34] ---**
in upholding the basic rules of fighting.
**[18:38] ---**
At least Hadlar understood that!
**[18:41] ---**
With this blow, feel the anger
of his departed soul!
**[18:59] ---**
Remember this.
**[19:01] ---**
Though I don't enjoy using it,
I'm also well versed in such spellcraft.
**[19:08] ---**
If you continue using such dirty traps
against us, I will fight back in kind.
**[19:14] ---**
I will not forgive you!
**[19:27] ---**
And you would be wise to remember this.
**[19:34] ---**
I am going to kill you!
**[19:38] ---**
I swear... I swear I will kill you
with my own hands!
**[19:44] ---**
I swear it!
**[19:58] ---**
He's gone.
**[20:00] ---**
And now.
**[20:16] ---**
So King Vearn is in here.
**[20:19] ---**
W-Whoa. It's even
more impressive up close.
**[20:25] ---**
You're right.
**[20:26] ---**
Wow. It's quite big, isn't it?
**[20:33] ---**
M-Master?! Where did you come from?!
**[20:37] ---**
We ran here at top speed!
**[20:41] ---**
Actually, I was just a step
behind you the whole time!
**[20:45] ---**
*He's lying.*
**[20:47] ---**
*I never sensed him behind us.*
**[20:51] ---**
*I know he remained back there for a while.*
**[20:55] ---**
I used my new skill,
Sneaky Step Stealthy Step Avan Step.
**[21:02] ---**
What the hell is that?!
**[21:04] ---**
Why not Sneaky Step
Stealthy Step Popp Step?
**[21:08] ---**
I guess if you used it,
you could call it that.
**[21:11] ---**
*Something about him
is different from before.*
**[21:15] ---**
*It's like he possesses
a completely different power.*
**[21:23] ---**
*That glow...*
**[21:27] ---**
*I get it! So that's it!*
**[21:30] ---**
*This man...*
**[21:31] ---**
And now, everyone, for your next task...
**[21:34] ---**
Enough.
**[21:36] ---**
Huh?
**[21:41] ---**
I can see the extent of your power.
**[21:44] ---**
Hyunckel... the extent of my power?
**[21:49] ---**
You're weak.
**[21:50] ---**
Far too weak!
**[22:07] ---**
*To be honest I was clumsy*
**[22:07] ---**
*omoeba boku wa bukiyou de*
**[22:12] ---**
*And it took me forever to get here*
**[22:12] ---**
*shouganaikurai tomawarishita*
**[22:19] ---**
*I used even loneliness as a weapon*
**[22:19] ---**
*kodokukannsura mo buki ni shite*
**[22:24] ---**
*I searched the dungeon for a simple answer*
**[22:24] ---**
*tannjun na kotae wo sagashita dannjon*
**[22:30] ---**
*Even if I cast aside
Rightness and kindness*
**[22:30] ---**
*tadashisa yasashisa nagedashite mo*
**[22:35] ---**
*I just want to be there for you*
**[22:35] ---**
*tada hitori kimi no mikata de itai*
**[22:42] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[22:42] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga*
**[22:47] ---**
*Is harder than any magic spell*
**[22:47] ---**
*ari to arayuru mahou yori muzukashikute*
**[22:53] ---**
*Even though you're so close to me*
**[22:53] ---**
*konnani mo chikaku ni itanoni*
**[22:59] ---**
*I love you*
**[22:59] ---**
*aishiteiru*
**[23:02] ---**
*I finally realized it*
**[23:02] ---**
*imasara kizuitanosa*
**[23:05] ---**
*To call out your name*
**[23:05] ---**
*kimi no namae wo yobu tame ni*
**[23:10] ---**
*Must be the reason I was born*
**[23:10] ---**
*boku wa kitto umarete kitannda*
**[23:16] ---**
*I shake off the clinging night*
**[23:16] ---**
*shigamitsuku yoru furihodoite*
**[23:22] ---**
*And go to see you*
**[23:22] ---**
*ai ni iku*
**[23:25] ---**
*Right now to where you are*
**[23:25] ---**
*ima sugu kimi no moto e*
**[23:33] ---**
*Hyunckel voices his objection to Avan.*
**[23:36] ---**
*The others continue hesitantly
but their way is barred by a giant gate.*
**[23:41] ---**
*Its door is like the one
Dai and Baran barely managed to breach.*
**[23:45] ---**
*Yet Avan tackles it alone.*
**[23:48] ---**
*The mystery behind Avan's activities
after his fight with Hadlar are revealed.*
**[23:53] ---**

THE SECRET WAY OF PURIFICATION
**[01:50] ---**
You're weak.
**[01:52] ---**
Far too weak!
**[01:53] ---**
M-Master's too weak?
**[01:57] ---**
What do you mean?! All of a sudden...
**[02:00] ---**
Exactly what I said.
**[02:02] ---**
Avan is weak.
**[02:04] ---**
Even if he joins us for this final battle,
he'll only die in vain.
**[02:09] ---**
Don't say that, Hyunckel!
**[02:10] ---**
That's right! How can you say that
after Master came to save us!
**[02:16] ---**
Then answer this,
is Avan's power enough to fight Vearn?
**[02:22] ---**
O-Of course it is!
**[02:25] ---**
This man lost to the old Hadlar once.
**[02:29] ---**
He wouldn't stand a chance
against Hadlar as a Superior Being.
**[02:35] ---**
Now that our fight has reached this level,
what use would someone that weak be?
**[02:42] ---**
We've all grown in strength
through battles with powerful enemies.
**[02:48] ---**
There's a wide gap between
our current combat power and Avan's.
**[02:55] ---**
Did Hadlar look like
someone you could beat?
**[03:00] ---**
The current Hero, Dai,
fought him alone and beat him.
**[03:06] ---**
How much stronger
do you think Dai is compared to you?
**[03:12] ---**
In terms of pure combat power...
**[03:15] ---**
I doubt that I'm even
half as strong as Dai.
**[03:21] ---**
Your analysis is accurate,
**[03:23] ---**
as expected of the former Hero.
**[03:26] ---**
Shut up!
**[03:27] ---**
Popp!
**[03:29] ---**
What are you being so stuck-up about?!
**[03:33] ---**
You wanted to cry to
Master Avan more than anyone!
**[03:37] ---**
Who cares about a power difference?!
**[03:40] ---**
Master came all this way to help us!
**[03:43] ---**
Isn't that show of kindness enough?!
**[03:46] ---**
Kindness doesn't win battles.
**[03:49] ---**
I merely stated the truth.
**[03:53] ---**
As it stands, Avan is weaker
than Dai or me or even you.
**[04:00] ---**
Why you...!
**[04:01] ---**
Stop it!
**[04:03] ---**
Maam... You...
**[04:14] ---**
Anyhow, I won't stand for
a man this weak to be our leader.
**[04:20] ---**
If you all want to follow Avan forward,
then I'm staying here.
**[04:28] ---**
Hyunckel, I know it's difficult for you
to open up to Master Avan...
**[04:34] ---**
but...
**[04:38] ---**
Forget him, Maam. Let him whine.
Who throws a tantrum at a time like this?
**[04:44] ---**
Hyunckel, everything
you have said is true. But I...
**[05:02] ---**
*Hyunckel...*
**[05:04] ---**
*You...*
**[05:06] ---**
Everyone, let us move on.
**[05:09] ---**
Huh?!
**[05:11] ---**
Huh? Uh... But Master...!
**[05:14] ---**
I would like to respect Hyunckel's wishes.
**[05:19] ---**
If this is what he wants,
there's nothing I can do.
**[05:29] ---**
Yeah. Don't worry.
**[05:34] ---**
Maam, I know Hyunckel will follow us.
**[05:51] ---**
Mystvearn.
**[05:53] ---**
*King Vearn!*
**[05:54] ---**
What is taking so long?
Return to me at once.
**[06:01] ---**
*Is there an issue, Sire?*
**[06:03] ---**
An unexpected turn of events.
Avan has returned from the dead.
**[06:08] ---**
*Avan? Avan, the Hero?*
**[06:11] ---**
*But I doubt he possesses
the strength to be any threat to you.*
**[06:16] ---**
You fool!
**[06:19] ---**
The threat is not from his strength.
Dai is far stronger than he is.
**[06:25] ---**
But Avan possesses
something beyond mere strength.
**[06:30] ---**
That is why I originally ordered Hadlar
to slay him at once.
**[06:36] ---**
I sense a strength from him
different than the kind I believe in.
**[06:42] ---**
That is Avan.
**[06:44] ---**
Left alive, the Disciples of Avan
will grow in power at an alarming rate.
**[06:50] ---**
*What of Kill? Where is Killvearn?*
**[06:56] ---**
Do not forget, Mystvearn.
**[06:59] ---**
While you both bear my name,
he is not like you.
**[07:04] ---**
His purpose is entirely different.
**[07:07] ---**
*It is not his job to protect me.*
**[07:11] ---**
*He exists to kill. That is all.*
**[07:13] ---**
*Avan is quite smart,
but he made a mistake.*
**[07:19] ---**
*He merely wounded his enemy.*
**[07:35] ---**
He was such a meanie!
**[07:38] ---**
That was our favorite mask, too!
**[07:44] ---**
Left to his own devices,
I'm sure Killvearn will hunt down Avan.
**[07:50] ---**
You must stop Dai and the others,
who've gained momentum from Avan's return.
**[07:55] ---**
*My King!*
**[07:57] ---**
*But...*
**[08:05] ---**
You're still watching him?
**[08:07] ---**
Yes.
**[08:08] ---**
It's his own fault.
**[08:11] ---**
But I just can't believe Hyunckel
would selfishly say such things.
**[08:18] ---**
Exactly.
**[08:20] ---**
Huh?
**[08:21] ---**
What do you mean by that, Master?
**[08:24] ---**
Listen up, everyone.
**[08:27] ---**
Once we approach that entrance, Hyunckel
will be attacked by numerous enemies.
**[08:36] ---**
What are you talking about, Master?
**[08:38] ---**
You're so thick, Popp!
Don't you understand his intent?!
**[08:42] ---**
Huh?
**[08:43] ---**
It's exactly what you did once before...
**[08:47] ---**
in the battle with the Dragon Masters!
**[08:52] ---**
*That's right. I wanted everyone
to be able to fight and not worry,*
**[08:57] ---**
*so I pretended to be selfish and ran off!*
**[09:03] ---**
Did he...?!
**[09:10] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[09:22] ---**
That idiot!
**[09:24] ---**
Master!
**[09:26] ---**
Try to understand, Popp,
what he really feels.
**[09:31] ---**
Hyunckel was able to realize
what my real power is.
**[09:36] ---**
He knew that my power would be
essential in navigating Vearn Palace.
**[09:42] ---**
So he took on
the role of holding off any pursuit.
**[09:46] ---**
But, if you all knew the truth,
**[09:49] ---**
you would never have let him remain alone.
**[09:54] ---**
Master, did you realize
Hyunckel's intent from the start?
**[10:00] ---**
Yes.
**[10:02] ---**
I knew it at a glance.
**[10:04] ---**
Hyunckel would always trouble me
by saying and doing things he didn't mean.
**[10:13] ---**
*He would always have that look.*
**[10:16] ---**
That sort of mix of
sadness and remorse in his eyes.
**[10:29] ---**
Come on! You won't take
one step beyond here!
**[10:33] ---**
*That bastard! He always does this!*
**[10:37] ---**
*He treats us like children
and acts like he knows everything!*
**[10:44] ---**
*He goes and hogs all the glory!*
**[10:47] ---**
*Next time I see you, I'll kick your butt!*
**[10:51] ---**
*So you better not die, Hyunckel!*
**[10:54] ---**
*You better survive this!*
**[11:04] ---**
There you are, monsters of the Underworld.
**[11:09] ---**
There's only one of you?!
**[11:11] ---**
What an idiot!
**[11:12] ---**
We're not your only problem!
No enemy can invade the palace!
**[11:17] ---**
In that case, we have nothing to fear.
**[11:21] ---**
What?!
**[11:22] ---**
Firstly, I'm going to take care of
all of you.
**[11:26] ---**
And secondly...
**[11:28] ---**
no obstacle can stop
the others who went ahead!
**[11:34] ---**
You little brat!
**[11:36] ---**
Tear him apart!
**[11:37] ---**
Charge!
**[11:49] ---**
Curse you!
**[11:54] ---**
Looks like they've started!
**[11:55] ---**
Will Hyunckel be okay?
**[11:58] ---**
He trained under me because he thought
I killed his father and wanted revenge.
**[12:04] ---**
But it looks like he actually
paid attention to his lessons.
**[12:08] ---**
Hyunckel is following the rules I laid out
for entering enemy territory.
**[12:15] ---**
When charging an enemy fortress,
what's most vital,
**[12:20] ---**
is not taking down enemies in the way,
but preventing being flanked.
**[12:26] ---**
When weakened, the most dangerous thing is
getting attacked from both sides.
**[12:34] ---**
That's why, when choosing a formation,
**[12:36] ---**
you need powerful members
in both the front and the rear.
**[12:43] ---**
*I took that role earlier
and managed to hold off that reaper.*
**[12:50] ---**
Huh?! You fought Killvearn?!
**[12:52] ---**
He wasn't dead?!
**[12:55] ---**
But it seems that Hyunckel noticed.
**[12:59] ---**
That's why he took on that role himself.
**[13:02] ---**
Then, when you caught up...
**[13:04] ---**
Yes. I used a spell to do it...
**[13:07] ---**
a new spell I've attained called Zip.
**[13:11] ---**
Zip?
**[13:12] ---**
It's a type of Zoom spell.
**[13:15] ---**
It's a spell to regroup with allies.
**[13:19] ---**
It's a mystic spell that's normally used
to regroup when lost in a labyrinth.
**[13:25] ---**
A labyrinth?
**[13:27] ---**
M-Master Avan, are you saying
you've been...
**[13:38] ---**
A gate. It's huge!
**[13:46] ---**
GRAND CROSS
**[13:51] ---**
SIZZLE
HEAT-TYPE SPELL
**[13:53] ---**
This looks like the Dark Citadel Gate
at the entrance of Vearn Palace!
**[13:59] ---**
The one you worked
with your dad to destroy?
**[14:04] ---**
This could be even more powerful
than that one.
**[14:07] ---**
Are you kidding me?!
To come all this way only to be blocked?!
**[14:13] ---**
Everyone, stand back!
**[14:15] ---**
Huh?
**[14:16] ---**
Let me show you why
Hyunckel gave me the lead
**[14:20] ---**
while he stayed back to guard the rear.
**[14:25] ---**
The new power I've obtained
through my training up to this point!
**[14:30] ---**
Training?!
**[14:31] ---**
That's right. I've been training
this whole time...
**[14:37] ---**
*in the legendary Carl Kingdom...*
**[14:40] ---**
deep in the Cave of Trials.
**[14:43] ---**
What?!
**[14:45] ---**
Isn't the Cave of Trials...
**[14:47] ---**
...w-where Leona attained
her Kaglimmer spell?!
**[14:52] ---**
I knew it!
**[14:53] ---**
Master Avan must have
gone beyond where we went,
**[14:57] ---**
down to far deeper levels
in the Cave of Trials!
**[15:02] ---**
To attain even more powerful
Purifying Spells!
**[15:08] ---**
Back then, on the day I lost to Hadlar...
**[15:11] ---**
while the Amulet of Carl
did save my life...
**[15:15] ---**
my body was badly damaged
by my Megante spell.
**[15:20] ---**
I was sent flying.
**[15:24] ---**
*When I awoke, I was in the ocean
near Dermline Island.*
**[15:29] ---**
*That's when I realized I had been saved
by the Amulet of Carl.*
**[15:37] ---**
Dai, Popp...
**[15:39] ---**
I was there
when you two began your journey.
**[15:43] ---**
*I dragged my wounded body there.*
**[15:47] ---**
*It would have been easy to call out
and join you on your journey.*
**[15:52] ---**
*But I couldn't bring myself to.*
**[15:56] ---**
*I wanted to help you two
to continue to grow...*
**[16:01] ---**
*but I couldn't forgive my own weakness.*
**[16:05] ---**
*I knew that Dai's latent strength
already far exceeded my own.*
**[16:12] ---**
*That meant that even if I went with you,
I would only hinder your progress.*
**[16:19] ---**
I had to train myself in body and soul
and gain new abilities of my own,
**[16:25] ---**
or I would not be worthy
to fight beside you.
**[16:29] ---**
*That's why I decided to perfect
my purification magic*
**[16:34] ---**
*in the legendary Cave of Trials.*
**[16:37] ---**
*I knew that would be
the best possible way to train.*
**[16:42] ---**
Even if I was lacking in strength, I knew
it would help against Dark King Vearn.
**[16:50] ---**
*I see. That explains it.*
**[16:53] ---**
*Master never really
abandoned us after all.*
**[16:59] ---**
*He's been desperately fighting on his own.*
**[17:05] ---**
Over the next few months,
**[17:08] ---**
*I continued down the Cave of Trials
for the ultimate Purifying Spellcraft.*
**[17:25] ---**
*After the 50th level,
there were no more spells,*
**[17:28] ---**
*and the labyrinth became more complex.*
**[17:38] ---**
I was running low
on healing items and rations
**[17:42] ---**
and numerous terrifying traps awaited me.
**[17:47] ---**
But we can discuss my adventures
another time.
**[17:51] ---**
Basically, at the lower levels,
the cave tests the challenger's knowledge.
**[17:57] ---**
When Princess Leona used Kaglimmer
on one of the upper levels,
**[18:02] ---**
I knew the final battle was approaching.
**[18:06] ---**
Thank you for that.
**[18:07] ---**
What level were you on then?
**[18:10] ---**
We were 25 floors underground.
**[18:12] ---**
Where were you at the time?
**[18:15] ---**
Hmm, I believe it was
somewhere around 150 levels down.
**[18:22] ---**
For a human, that must be a new record!
**[18:29] ---**
Well then...
**[18:31] ---**
Let's give it a shot!
**[18:46] ---**
*So this is Master Avan's Purifying Magic.*
**[19:00] ---**
*I was right! Avan attained
the power of purification!*
**[19:09] ---**
I can't imagine a more powerful
Purifying Spell than Kaglimmer.
**[19:13] ---**
Yeah, but there must be one.
He went down 150 whole levels!
**[19:20] ---**
That's six times deeper than 25,
**[19:23] ---**
so it must be six times stronger!
**[19:25] ---**
You won't get the answer
from simple math, Popp.
**[19:30] ---**
Huh?!
**[19:32] ---**
We don't have a spell more powerful
than Kaglimmer at the moment.
**[19:37] ---**
But we might find one deeper down.
**[19:42] ---**
At least I never found one where I went.
**[19:47] ---**
Th-Then what is that spell?
**[19:50] ---**
It's not a spell, it's...
**[19:53] ---**
the Secret Way of Purification.
**[19:56] ---**
Secret Way of Purification?
**[19:58] ---**
Take a good look.
It can prove quite useful.
**[20:17] ---**
It's like Kaglimmer!
**[20:20] ---**
I see! So that's it!
The Secret Way of Purification!
**[20:24] ---**
Huh?
**[20:25] ---**
It's not a spell, but a secret way
to amplify a spell's purifying power!
**[20:31] ---**
Yes! That's correct!
**[20:33] ---**
Used with this Secret Way,
**[20:35] ---**
the evil-nullifying effects of various
spells can be amplified to their limits!
**[20:42] ---**
Earlier, when I rescued Popp, I used the
barrier-nullifying spell Safe Passage,
**[20:49] ---**
and amplified it using
this Secret Way of Purification.
**[20:53] ---**
*He did that with just
a Safe Passage spell?!*
**[20:56] ---**
And obviously, the spell
I'm about to cast against this door...
**[21:02] ---**
It's the spell for opening doors...
**[21:04] ---**
Click!
**[21:18] ---**
Dark portal closed since ancient times...
I command you to open!
**[21:23] ---**
*It's the same as last time!*
**[21:35] ---**
It's opening!
**[21:42] ---**
That's impossible!
**[21:43] ---**
The door to King Vearn's palace!
**[21:46] ---**
It-It's opening!
**[21:48] ---**
Well done, my Master Avan.
**[21:51] ---**
As I told you before,
no one can stop their advance!
**[22:11] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:11] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:20] ---**
*I gaze at you from behind
as you begin to walk away*
**[22:20] ---**

**[22:30] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:30] ---**

**[22:39] ---**
*We act tough and follow our hearts*
**[22:39] ---**
*massugu de tsuyogari na sonna bokura ga*
**[22:45] ---**

*Avan's Secret Way of Purification
opened the gate.*
**[23:37] ---**
*As Hyunckel holds off the horde of
monsters, the others enter the palace.*
**[23:44] ---**
*Eventually Avan makes a request to Leona.*
**[23:47] ---**
*Meanwhile, in Loroi Valley, Crocodine
and the others push Zaboera back.*

THE STEADY ADVANCE OF JUSTICE
**[01:50] ---**
Dark portal closed since ancient times...
I command you to open!
**[02:09] ---**
A-Amazing!
**[02:12] ---**
Check that out!
The gate opened like it's welcoming us!
**[02:19] ---**
Come everyone. Let us go.
**[02:23] ---**
Okay!
**[02:25] ---**
What is it, Dai?
**[02:28] ---**
Master, thank you!
**[02:31] ---**
Right now... with all my heart...
**[02:35] ---**
I'm truly glad that you came to help us.
**[02:40] ---**
Me and my dad had to work together
to shatter a door like this.
**[02:45] ---**
I was just wracking my brain
thinking about how to shatter this door.
**[02:51] ---**
But you showed us that
there was another way to open it.
**[02:57] ---**
Dai...
**[02:59] ---**
I'm sure of it now.
**[03:03] ---**
Dark King Vearn's way of
might makes right is wrong.
**[03:08] ---**
Thank to you, I can truly believe that.
**[03:12] ---**
That's right.
**[03:14] ---**
Being powerless can be a problem,
but power isn't everything.
**[03:19] ---**
Knowledge and strength of heart
are forms of power, too.
**[03:23] ---**
Come. The true battle lies ahead.
**[03:27] ---**
We should hurry.
**[03:28] ---**
Yes sir!
**[03:46] ---**
Oh! They all got inside!
**[03:48] ---**
Let's crush this bug
and follow them!
**[03:52] ---**
You can't.
**[03:54] ---**
Now that the real father figure is back,
I can stop playing the older brother.
**[04:00] ---**
Now, I can be a warrior again.
**[04:03] ---**
What are you babbling on about?!
**[04:07] ---**
Everybody charge!
**[04:10] ---**
Don't you get it?
**[04:13] ---**
It means I can cut loose
without worrying about the consequences.
**[04:20] ---**
Bring everything you've got!
Today I feel no fatigue!
**[04:24] ---**
Huh?! Again?!
**[04:26] ---**
His second time today?!
**[04:28] ---**
Grand Cross!
**[04:40] ---**
Impossible!
**[04:42] ---**
None shall pass!
**[04:46] ---**
Oh wow.
**[04:48] ---**
Indeed.
**[04:49] ---**
I expected the castle of
an evil Dark King to be more gloomy.
**[04:56] ---**
But this is like a high-class palace.
**[04:59] ---**
It's more luxurious than any castle.
**[05:02] ---**
But its path is too linear.
**[05:05] ---**
There are two reasons
to build a palace like this.
**[05:10] ---**
Firstly, it displays its beauty
in a set route.
**[05:15] ---**
Secondly, if anyone should ever invade,
**[05:19] ---**
it forms a single path
that can be ambushed from either side.
**[05:27] ---**
This place looks magnificent...
**[05:31] ---**
...but Master Avan is right.
**[05:33] ---**
It's a single path the whole way.
**[05:37] ---**
Hyunckel will cut off any pursuit.
**[05:40] ---**
Our issue is how to defeat
enemies in our way.
**[05:45] ---**
Hold on!
**[05:47] ---**
Time out!
**[05:49] ---**
What's wrong?
**[05:50] ---**
I can't keep up! I'm exhausted again!
**[05:56] ---**
I'm out of Magic Power
and running drains any stamina I regain!
**[06:02] ---**
Come to think of it,
Popp's been exhausted the whole time.
**[06:06] ---**
Aren't you exhausted, too?
**[06:08] ---**
Nah. Running just gave me more energy.
**[06:12] ---**
*How does his body work?*
**[06:16] ---**
Please gimme a healing spell!
**[06:20] ---**
Huh?
**[06:22] ---**
I'm dying here! Don't abandon me!
**[06:25] ---**
How about I end your suffering with this?
**[06:29] ---**
Hmm. I see.
**[06:31] ---**
It can't be helped.
**[06:33] ---**
That settles it!
**[06:36] ---**
Let's take a break over there.
**[06:38] ---**
Huh?!
**[06:39] ---**
In the enemy castle?!
**[06:41] ---**
Yes.
**[06:48] ---**
I see my services
may be required, King Vearn.
**[06:52] ---**
Ah, it's you.
**[06:54] ---**
You cannot leave things
to Mystvearn and the others.
**[06:58] ---**
Perhaps it is time you called upon
Vearn Palace's most powerful guardian.
**[07:05] ---**
Do as you please.
**[07:06] ---**
My King!
**[07:17] ---**
Ah thank goodness!
**[07:20] ---**
I figured that we would need
this picnic set I brought!
**[07:26] ---**
What sort of situation was he expecting?
**[07:29] ---**
Honestly, what is up with you?
**[07:31] ---**
Suddenly saying we should
take a break in the enemy castle.
**[07:36] ---**
Hyunckel's still out there
fighting alone you know.
**[07:40] ---**
I may be in bad shape,
but I'm not about to rest here!
**[07:47] ---**
Popp!
**[07:48] ---**
M-Master, what are you...?!
**[07:54] ---**
Huh?
**[07:56] ---**
My Magic Power's restored.
**[08:00] ---**
That's a different feather from before.
**[08:05] ---**
This is a Gold Feather for attack.
**[08:08] ---**
It uses the Shining Stone,
a simplified gem of Mysticite.
**[08:12] ---**
It's an item for amplifying
the impact of magic.
**[08:16] ---**
And what I just used on Popp was this,
a Silver Feather for healing.
**[08:23] ---**
The gem is made from Holy Stone,
and can store Magic Power.
**[08:29] ---**
The Magic Bullet Gun I gave Maam
uses the same gem.
**[08:32] ---**
Oh really!
**[08:34] ---**
Then a stone that possesses
both properties is...
**[08:37] ---**
Exactly. The Mysticite
in your Insignias of Avan.
**[08:42] ---**
But Mysticite takes time to mature
even after its completed.
**[08:48] ---**
I was only able to create these two types
of Feathers in the Cave of Trials.
**[08:54] ---**
Ow!
**[08:55] ---**
Oh?
**[08:57] ---**
Popp, it looks like your Magic Power
hasn't fully been restored yet.
**[09:01] ---**
Huh?
**[09:02] ---**
This Feather contains enough Magic Power
to fully restore up to three normal Mages,
**[09:09] ---**
but it's completely empty.
**[09:12] ---**
*When did I get that strong?*
**[09:15] ---**
It looks like you've grown
in power a great deal.
**[09:19] ---**
How about another jab for good measure?
**[09:22] ---**
Uh, no thank you!
**[09:23] ---**
But I insist!
**[09:25] ---**
Healing up and readying yourself
is an important duty.
**[09:31] ---**
It may hurt a little, but it must be done.
**[09:34] ---**
To refuse would be an insult
to those out there fighting.
**[09:40] ---**
All right, Master.
**[09:44] ---**
Here, Maam. Use these
to restore everyone's Magic Power.
**[09:49] ---**
And heal their stamina with Healing Magic.
**[09:52] ---**
Yes sir. But what about you?
**[09:54] ---**
I'll take the time to go ahead for a bit.
**[09:58] ---**
There should be
more powerful traps laid ahead.
**[10:01] ---**
I'll get rid of them while I can.
**[10:06] ---**
TRAP-SMASHER HAMMER
**[10:08] ---**
I'll also map out the castle's layout.
**[10:11] ---**
Isn't it dangerous alone?
**[10:13] ---**
Yes. Good point.
**[10:16] ---**
So, Princess Leona.
**[10:17] ---**
Y-Yes?
**[10:19] ---**
Would you be so kind as to assist me?
**[10:22] ---**
M-Me?!
**[10:27] ---**
Yes sir.
**[10:28] ---**
Maam, look after the others.
**[10:31] ---**
Leona...
**[10:33] ---**
Don't worry. We'll be back in no time.
**[10:36] ---**
Stay put even after you finish healing.
**[10:40] ---**
You can enjoy the meal that I prepared.
**[10:45] ---**
Shall we?
**[10:51] ---**
What now?
**[10:53] ---**
Let's heal up.
**[10:55] ---**
This must be the meal he meant.
**[10:58] ---**
Wow. He's still the same Master.
**[11:01] ---**
Yeah. It feels like
he'll take care of Vearn himself.
**[11:06] ---**
Don't get complacent
just because Master Avan's here.
**[11:10] ---**
We should assume we'll be fighting
without him like before.
**[11:13] ---**
Oh come on.
**[11:15] ---**
For now, we should heal up
like he told us to.
**[11:20] ---**
So we'll be ready to fight.
**[11:24] ---**
That way, Master won't have to
risk his life for us again.
**[11:32] ---**
Let's get this over with then!
**[11:35] ---**
But can we avoid
the jabs to the head this time?
**[11:39] ---**
Let's stick to the arm, okay?
**[11:43] ---**
Like there's a difference?
**[11:48] ---**
CLICK
**[11:53] ---**
KAGLIMMER
**[11:57] ---**
Master Avan,
what exactly do you need me for?
**[12:02] ---**
Unfortunately, Kaglimmer is
the only Purifying Spell I can cast.
**[12:07] ---**
I didn't have time
to attain any of the others.
**[12:11] ---**
It's alright, Princess.
**[12:14] ---**
I brought you along for one reason.
**[12:18] ---**
I want you to have these.
**[12:22] ---**
You've giving these to me?
**[12:26] ---**
But why?
**[12:27] ---**
Because I believe you can take my place.
**[12:31] ---**
Me?!
**[12:37] ---**
Lord Mystvearn!
**[12:39] ---**
It... It wasn't supposed to be like this!
**[13:01] ---**
Your Underworld monsters
weren't that tough!
**[13:04] ---**
We've beaten them!
Now you're all that's left!
**[13:09] ---**
You underestimated us.
**[13:11] ---**
In the end, your Underworld monsters
were just a pack of beasts.
**[13:14] ---**
They don't know how to coordinate
or work together.
**[13:17] ---**
It looks like the humans here
have a greater sense of purpose.
**[13:34] ---**
*In... In that case, I'll have to have
Mystvearn fight the humans!*
**[13:40] ---**
*I can use that opportunity
to escape from here!*
**[13:44] ---**
*It's my only choice!*
**[13:46] ---**
Lord Mystvearn!
**[13:48] ---**
Please! I beg of you!
Show your great power!
**[13:53] ---**
With our legion of monsters defeated,
**[13:56] ---**
your power is all we can count on!
**[14:00] ---**
I shall return to Vearn Palace
and protect King Vearn!
**[14:04] ---**
In the meantime,
you can crush these fools!
**[14:13] ---**
You're certainly clutching at straws,
aren't you, Zaboera?
**[14:19] ---**
If you can't defeat these fools, what
can you do against Dai in Vearn Palace?
**[14:27] ---**
Well...
**[14:29] ---**
*They're arguing?*
**[14:32] ---**
When you reap what you sow
**[14:35] ---**
they say it always comes
when you are at your lowest.
**[14:40] ---**
You've come a long way
by using others for your benefit,
**[14:44] ---**
but at the very end,
you chose the wrong target.
**[14:48] ---**
I shall return to Vearn Palace
and protect King Vearn.
**[14:54] ---**
I am under no obligation
to offer my help to you.
**[14:57] ---**
Lord Mystvearn!
**[14:59] ---**
Try doing things yourself for once!
**[15:05] ---**
Oh Zaboera...
**[15:07] ---**
either way, if you return to Vearn Palace
with no results, you will be executed.
**[15:14] ---**
At least try to deal with these humans and
their Magic Circle of Light by yourself.
**[15:21] ---**
But...
**[15:22] ---**
Perhaps such efforts from a worm like you
will change King Vearn's mind.
**[15:29] ---**
Lord Mystvearn... no, Mystvearn!
**[15:34] ---**
How can you say that?!
**[15:35] ---**
We're both former Legion Commanders!
**[15:38] ---**
I thought we were comrades
who fought together!
**[15:42] ---**
How can... How can you
abandon me like that?!
**[15:48] ---**
"Comrades..."
**[15:49] ---**
So you're finally resorting to
the platitudes of the servants of justice.
**[15:57] ---**
But Zaboera...
**[15:58] ---**
if we're such close friends as you say...
**[16:02] ---**
then you should know all too well
what I would say in this situation.
**[16:09] ---**
"Th-The Dark King's words..."
**[16:13] ---**
Exactly, "...take precedence above all."
**[16:23] ---**
*He's been abandoned!*
**[16:25] ---**
*Zaboera used countless warriors
to further his own ambitions.*
**[16:31] ---**
*Now, for the first time,
he himself has been cast aside.*
**[16:37] ---**
I see you understand.
**[16:39] ---**
Wait, Mystvearn!
**[16:42] ---**
You and I aren't through yet.
**[16:44] ---**
Are you going to run like a coward?
**[16:48] ---**
You can believe that if it suits you.
**[16:51] ---**
There aren't many in this world
who can fight me on equal ground.
**[16:58] ---**
To be honest, I'm relieved.
**[17:02] ---**
You are an impressive one.
**[17:04] ---**
Maybe if you had fought at full strength,
our battle wouldn't have taken so long.
**[17:11] ---**
Of course, the same could be said for me.
**[17:16] ---**
*Mystvearn...*
**[17:17] ---**
Farewell, Lon Beruk. And you humans
with your unexpected mettle.
**[17:23] ---**
I respect anyone with powerful bodies
and minds, be they ally or enemy.
**[17:29] ---**
I promise to remember
your achievements this day.
**[17:38] ---**
But there's one ally here
that he never respected.
**[17:44] ---**
Zaboera, you're all out of options.
**[17:48] ---**
Surrender!
**[17:50] ---**
If you return to Vearn Palace
you'll be executed.
**[17:53] ---**
That said, you're not stupid enough
to think you can beat all of us.
**[18:01] ---**
Stupid?
**[18:02] ---**
Stupid, am I?
**[18:12] ---**
What a joke! What a sick joke!
**[18:15] ---**
To have the poster boy of stupidity
call me stupid!
**[18:25] ---**
What?!
**[18:30] ---**
You think you're so magnanimous!
**[18:32] ---**
It's true that I wasn't
able to use Mystvearn!
**[18:35] ---**
But unlike all of you, I always
prepare a backup plan when I enter battle!
**[18:42] ---**
I still have ways to fight
without soiling my own hands!
**[18:47] ---**
The hundreds of monsters here
will protect me!
**[18:52] ---**
Don't be stupid! Your damn monsters
are all half-dead!
**[18:59] ---**
What?! Half-dead?!
**[19:09] ---**
No, no. We can't have that.
**[19:14] ---**
A spell?! Watch out!
**[19:15] ---**
We can't have that.
We can't have that at all!
**[19:32] ---**
You bastard! How can you slaughter
your servants like that?!
**[19:40] ---**
You fools wouldn't understand.
I need them as corpses.
**[19:45] ---**
Need them... as corpses?
**[19:48] ---**
They're the parts to my final weapon.
**[19:52] ---**
Parts?!
**[19:53] ---**
Superior Being Synthesis!
**[20:25] ---**
I've long considered
what the ultimate power up could be!
**[20:34] ---**
Superior Beings are incredibly powerful,
but they deplete life energy too fast!
**[20:40] ---**
I'll convert others,
but I'd never become one myself!
**[20:46] ---**
My wish is to have the ability
to remain completely unharmed
**[20:51] ---**
while moving freely at will
and easily crushing my enemies!
**[20:57] ---**
Th-The mindset of a scoundrel!
**[20:59] ---**
This is the result!
**[21:09] ---**
Superior Being Number Two...
**[21:12] ---**
I suppose I should call it
a Superior Being Zombie!
**[21:16] ---**
A Superior Being Zombie?!
**[21:19] ---**
So I guess you're just trying
to use size as an advantage.
**[21:23] ---**
Don't think that sort of play will work!
**[21:27] ---**
Yes!
**[21:36] ---**
Thank you for that mighty blow, Lon Beruk.
**[21:40] ---**
You've confirmed my hypothesis.
**[21:42] ---**
This is the ultimate Superior entity!
**[21:48] ---**
Lon Beruk overwhelmed Mystvearn!
And yet his blade...
**[21:53] ---**
...doesn't work!
**[22:11] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:11] ---**

THE OTHER HERO
**[01:55] ---**
Lon Beruk overwhelmed Mystvearn!
And yet his blade...
**[02:00] ---**
...doesn't work!
**[02:01] ---**
Of course it didn't!
**[02:05] ---**
Zaboera?!
**[02:06] ---**
The body of this Superior Being Zombie
absorbs impacts!
**[02:10] ---**
No weapon can cut it!
**[02:13] ---**
It's truly invincible!
**[02:17] ---**
My brain is a terrifying thing indeed!
**[02:20] ---**
It truly is the mind of a demon!
**[02:25] ---**
Never fear!
**[02:27] ---**
We have the Superior Beings'
weakness on our side!
**[02:32] ---**
What?!
**[02:33] ---**
Now, Master, I mean, Mr. Beast!
**[02:37] ---**
Give him a taste of your Refractor Fist!
**[02:41] ---**
I can't!
**[02:42] ---**
Huh?! Why?!
**[02:44] ---**
The Refractor Fist doesn't work on Zombies
because they're already dead!
**[02:50] ---**
What?!
**[02:51] ---**
Remember this, rat!
**[02:53] ---**
It's called an "upgrade" because
it's overcome all previous issues!
**[02:58] ---**
The idea for this Superior Being Zombie
came from that attack.
**[03:02] ---**
If it has a weakness,
it would be cutting off my Magic Power...
**[03:10] ---**
but I just hide myself
deep inside like this...
**[03:15] ---**
and its weakness disappears!
**[03:19] ---**
Everyone, use magic attacks!
**[03:22] ---**
Howl, Inferno!
**[03:31] ---**
Fools!
**[03:32] ---**
Such pitiful attacks won't work on me!
**[03:44] ---**
That old weasel.
**[03:46] ---**
Cornering him finally
made him reveal his hand.
**[03:49] ---**
All that remains...
**[04:06] ---**
*Dammit!
Not even my Great Axe has any effect!*
**[04:10] ---**
Even with all those spells
and weapons stuck in it, it's fine!
**[04:18] ---**
What a success!
**[04:21] ---**
Not again!
**[04:23] ---**
Here!
**[04:39] ---**
Futile, futile!
**[04:41] ---**
Lon Beruk couldn't cut it!
There's no way you humans can!
**[04:46] ---**
-Dammit!
-Calm down!
**[04:49] ---**
Unfortunately, he's right.
**[04:51] ---**
No attack will work.
**[04:53] ---**
But...!
**[04:54] ---**
Not even my force and speed worked.
**[04:58] ---**
There's nothing we can do here.
**[05:01] ---**
If we had an ultimate weapon
that used more force and speed,
**[05:07] ---**
then maybe...
**[05:09] ---**
You mean like the Sword of Dai?!
**[05:16] ---**
I'll get rid of
that annoying Magic Circle!
**[05:21] ---**
Your majesty!
**[05:25] ---**
Hm?
**[05:31] ---**
Crocodine...
**[05:33] ---**
I'm the only one
who can fight you hand to hand!
**[05:37] ---**
How small! How weak! How persistent!
**[05:41] ---**
I suppose this is what
I used to look like to you.
**[05:47] ---**
It feels magnificent to be a giant!
**[05:52] ---**
Beast King Commandos, attack!
Rescue Mr. Crocodine!
**[05:58] ---**
We can't just wish for what we don't have!
**[06:00] ---**
Defeating him and protecting
the Magic Circle is our task!
**[06:05] ---**
Now's the time for us to unite
**[06:08] ---**
and unleash a power
that rivals Dai's own!
**[06:12] ---**
That's theoretically impossible.
**[06:15] ---**
Besides, you don't have a weapon
that can defeat him.
**[06:20] ---**
*A weapon that can defeat him?*
**[06:23] ---**
*A weapon...*
**[06:27] ---**
We do!
**[06:28] ---**
What?
**[06:29] ---**
We have... my life!
**[06:32] ---**
Your... life?!
**[06:35] ---**
I told you, kid.
**[06:37] ---**
If you think you can win
by risking your life, you'll die in vain!
**[06:42] ---**
I'm not just risking my life.
**[06:45] ---**
I'm using it as a weapon!
**[06:47] ---**
My life itself can be powerful weapon!
**[06:50] ---**
What?
**[06:52] ---**
Swords won't work on that monster.
**[06:54] ---**
I know!
**[07:00] ---**
Nova!
**[07:03] ---**
Here goes!
**[07:04] ---**
I will use all of my life power!
**[07:20] ---**
*It's like his sword is draining his life!*
**[07:24] ---**
*At this rate...*
**[07:26] ---**
Nova! Don't do it!
**[07:35] ---**
*A Life Blade?!*
**[07:39] ---**
I'll cut him with his!
**[07:42] ---**
If I can expose Zaboera even a little bit,
**[07:44] ---**
it should be possible to defeat him
and stop the Superior Being Zombie!
**[07:49] ---**
Stop! Don't do it, kid!
**[07:51] ---**
Out of my way!
**[07:52] ---**
No!
**[07:54] ---**
I acknowledge your bravery...
**[07:56] ---**
but I can't let you use an attack
that has no hope of succeeding!
**[08:02] ---**
Sadly, I can tell.
**[08:05] ---**
Even with that Life Blade,
the damage you inflict will be minimal.
**[08:11] ---**
The power to cut it...
**[08:14] ---**
and expose Zaboera is beyond you!
**[08:20] ---**
Now stop that blade!
**[08:23] ---**
At this rate, it'll drain
all your life energy!
**[08:33] ---**
It doesn't matter if it does.
**[08:37] ---**
I never assumed I could win with one blow.
**[08:41] ---**
But a Life Blade cannot be broken!
**[08:46] ---**
I'll hit him again and again
and again until I fall!
**[08:52] ---**
If I can leave even a single scratch,
then that's enough!
**[08:55] ---**
That's dying in vain!
**[08:57] ---**
It's not in vain!
**[08:59] ---**
Even if I die, it will leave something
for everyone else!
**[09:04] ---**
I once called myself a Hero.
**[09:09] ---**
It's my duty!
**[09:11] ---**
A Hero?!
**[09:30] ---**
What's wrong, Nova?
**[09:32] ---**
There's... There's such
a difference in our power.
**[09:38] ---**
And yet I was so full of myself,
trying to compete with you.
**[09:43] ---**
You were the real Hero.
**[09:46] ---**
And I was just jealous.
**[09:49] ---**
Forgive me, Dai.
**[09:50] ---**
Forget about it.
**[09:53] ---**
Besides, difference in strength
doesn't matter.
**[09:57] ---**
It doesn't make sense if
only the strongest person could be a Hero.
**[10:03] ---**
Then what sort of person is a real Hero?
**[10:06] ---**
Huh?
**[10:07] ---**
Hmm...
**[10:09] ---**
Hmm...
**[10:10] ---**
Hmm...
**[10:12] ---**
Forget it! Sorry! That was too difficult!
**[10:17] ---**
I'm not sure,
**[10:19] ---**
but it's not about
who's stronger or braver.
**[10:24] ---**
Oh!
**[10:28] ---**
Everybody calls me the Hero.
**[10:31] ---**
But back in your home of Ringaia,
you're the Hero of the North, right?
**[10:35] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[10:36] ---**
Then isn't that enough?
**[10:39] ---**
If we're helping save people,
**[10:42] ---**
then I'm a Hero and you're a Hero!
**[10:45] ---**
We're both Heroes!
**[10:49] ---**
*Thank you, Dai.*
**[10:51] ---**
*You've giving me confidence.*
**[10:54] ---**
*And a new spirit.*
**[10:57] ---**
*That's it! This is...!*
**[11:03] ---**
That's when I realized...
**[11:06] ---**
a true Hero is more about
inspiring courage than just being brave!
**[11:14] ---**
Even if I should die...
**[11:17] ---**
if I can leave even a scratch...
**[11:20] ---**
and inspire the others
that remain to attack...
**[11:26] ---**
I may not be a good as Dai...
**[11:28] ---**
but I can still serve as a Hero!
**[11:32] ---**
*Nova... You used to be so selfish.*
**[11:36] ---**
*Look at how you've grown!*
**[11:38] ---**
Your majesty! I leave the rest to you!
**[11:42] ---**
Give the call!
**[11:44] ---**
"Everyone, follow that attack!"
**[11:50] ---**
Nova!
**[11:51] ---**
Nova!
**[12:08] ---**
NORTHERN GRAND BLADE
**[12:13] ---**
DARK INCENSE
**[12:20] ---**
Enough. You can relax, Nova.
**[12:30] ---**
Why? Why go so far?
**[12:34] ---**
Until now, I looked down on you.
**[12:38] ---**
You impressed me, and at the same time...
**[12:41] ---**
I couldn't let you die in vain.
**[12:44] ---**
Our blood may be of different colors,
but we value life the same.
**[12:51] ---**
Lon Beruk!
**[12:52] ---**
If a life must be spent,
it might as well be mine.
**[12:56] ---**
I've lived at least
ten times as long as you.
**[13:00] ---**
If I had the sort of resolve you did...
**[13:03] ---**
I could have defeated that enemy easily.
**[13:09] ---**
I summon you! The ultimate weapon
I've dedicated my life to!
**[13:21] ---**
What?!
**[13:24] ---**
W-What is that?!
**[13:28] ---**
A-A new enemy?!
**[13:31] ---**
Stand back! It's dangerous!
**[13:39] ---**
*This is the ultimate superweapon?!*
**[13:45] ---**
No matter what kind of weapon
you bring out now,
**[13:49] ---**
it won't work on
my Superior Being Zombie!
**[13:54] ---**
I'll pulverize that little rock
before you can use it!
**[14:06] ---**
What?! My blades?!
**[14:09] ---**
Inside that hunk of stone,
there is something incredibly powerful!
**[14:16] ---**
Thanks. You're a real help.
**[14:19] ---**
You saved me the trouble of opening it.
**[14:33] ---**
Swords?!
**[14:34] ---**
Two of them?!
**[14:36] ---**
I call them...
**[14:38] ---**
The Star Emperor Swords!
**[14:39] ---**
The Star Emperor Swords?!
**[14:41] ---**
*So these two swords
are his ultimate weapon?!*
**[14:46] ---**
The Star Emperor Swords?!
What a pretentious name!
**[14:51] ---**
This is the ultimate weapon
that I've spent over a century creating.
**[14:57] ---**
It's the only weapon in the world
made exclusively for me!
**[15:05] ---**
*Dual-wielding?!*
**[15:15] ---**
*What intensity!*
**[15:17] ---**
*But will it work on
the Superior Being Zombie?!*
**[15:20] ---**
*It just looks like
a clumsy pair of swords!*
**[15:24] ---**
*If it's swords, then it doesn't matter
how hard they are!*
**[15:29] ---**
I have nothing to fear!
**[15:41] ---**
W-Why you...!
**[15:54] ---**
Now I see, Lon Beruk!
**[15:56] ---**
You boast about those swords,
but you're unsure of their strength!
**[16:03] ---**
You're scared, aren't you?!
**[16:14] ---**
*H-He...!*
**[16:17] ---**
Indeed, I am scared.
**[16:18] ---**
I'm terrified.
**[16:20] ---**
Not because they might be weak.
**[16:27] ---**
But because
they are overwhelmingly powerful!
**[16:29] ---**
What?!
**[16:32] ---**
I will swing these swords only once!
**[16:35] ---**
Right and left! Once strike apiece!
**[16:38] ---**
When I do, even I won't be left unscathed!
**[16:45] ---**
That's why I'm making certain my attack
can hit you and cut you into four!
**[16:51] ---**
This is the most powerful
Lon Beruk Style sword skill...
**[17:09] ---**
The Star Emperor Cross Slash!
**[17:26] ---**
L-Look! It was as I expected!
**[17:30] ---**
Nothing! Not a single...!
**[17:43] ---**
You can brag in the afterlife...
**[17:46] ---**
about that parting cross slash I gave you.
**[18:02] ---**
He did it!
**[18:03] ---**
He did it!
**[18:22] ---**
Lon Beruk!
**[18:28] ---**
What happened to his arms?!
**[18:31] ---**
Looks painful!
**[18:32] ---**
I did it again.
**[18:35] ---**
"Again"?!
**[18:36] ---**
I knew this would happen.
**[18:39] ---**
When I use the Star Emperor Cross Slash...
**[18:42] ---**
it shatters both the swords and my arms.
**[18:48] ---**
Nearly 200 years ago,
I lost the use of my arms the same way.
**[18:54] ---**
The Star Emperor Cross Slash
is too powerful an attack.
**[18:58] ---**
The moment I tried it,
it ruined my arms and swords.
**[19:03] ---**
Like you just saw.
**[19:05] ---**
*More than my own strength,
I cursed the weakness of my weapons.*
**[19:11] ---**
*I became a weaponsmith to create
weapons I could use at full strength.*
**[19:17] ---**
*That was the Star Emperor Swords.*
**[19:19] ---**
*But it's an incomplete prototype.*
**[19:23] ---**
I should have completed it sooner.
**[19:27] ---**
Ever since I forged the Sword of Dai,
I've been focused on helping his party.
**[19:34] ---**
*The reason I worked so hard
on the Sword of Dai...*
**[19:37] ---**
*was likely because I knew the frustration
of being too strong to wield a weapon.*
**[19:44] ---**
Then, you've been holding back
your strength until now?
**[19:49] ---**
Because if you hadn't
you would only destroy yourself?!
**[19:55] ---**
And yet...
**[19:56] ---**
for me... for us...
**[20:00] ---**
you used an incomplete superweapon,
knowing what it would do to you!
**[20:05] ---**
I told you.
**[20:06] ---**
It's better than having
a young man like you die in vain.
**[20:11] ---**
My one regret...
**[20:13] ---**
is that I won't be able
to make weapons for you.
**[20:18] ---**
My arms won't heal for a while.
**[20:20] ---**
Probably not in your lifetimes.
**[20:31] ---**
Then... Then use my hands.
**[20:35] ---**
Until the day your wounds have recovered.
**[20:38] ---**
You saved my life.
**[20:40] ---**
I swear I will complete
your shattered Star Emperor Swords.
**[20:45] ---**
Nova!
**[20:46] ---**
You're not just strong.
You're worthy of respect.
**[20:52] ---**
If you will let me,
I wish to learn from you!
**[21:00] ---**
Then, for starters...
**[21:03] ---**
Huh?
**[21:04] ---**
Could you open my bottle for me?
**[21:09] ---**
Yes sir!
**[21:10] ---**
*Nova, you've finally found them.*
**[21:15] ---**
*Someone you can call Master
and a path to walk on.*
**[21:19] ---**
H-Huh?
**[21:21] ---**
Oh dear. I guess I should start
by teaching you how to open a bottle.
**[21:57] ---**
*C-Crocodine?!*
**[22:11] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:11] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:20] ---**
*I gaze at you from behind
as you begin to walk away*
**[22:20] ---**
*arukidasu kimi no ushirosugata wo nagameru*
**[22:30] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*

*We act tough and follow our hearts*

THE SURVIVOR FROM HELL
**[01:51] ---**
Star Emperor Cross Slash!
**[02:26] ---**
*C-Crocodine!*
**[02:33] ---**
You found me, Crocodine.
**[02:36] ---**
I know just how tenacious you can be.
**[02:40] ---**
But you were foolish
to come after me alone!
**[02:43] ---**
I could still have a plan up my sleeve!
**[02:47] ---**
No you don't.
**[02:48] ---**
Knowing you, after all that
you'd disappear somewhere far away.
**[02:54] ---**
The fact you're crawling here is proof
that you're out of Magic Power and items.
**[03:01] ---**
That means Lon Beruk's attack
drained your Magic Power
**[03:05] ---**
and you barely made it out.
**[03:08] ---**
Now you're truly out of options!
**[03:12] ---**
*Curse you, you damn crocodile!*
**[03:15] ---**
*When did you get so smart?!*
**[03:18] ---**
*I have to do something!
There must be a way!*
**[03:22] ---**
*I can't lose in a battle of wits
to this blockhead!*
**[03:27] ---**
*He's just a rube! This is my chance!
There must be something!*
**[03:33] ---**
Zaboera... it's over.
**[03:42] ---**
Crocodine.
**[03:44] ---**
You're right. I'm out of options.
**[03:47] ---**
I have no choice but
to die by your hand here.
**[03:52] ---**
Considering all I've done,
it's only natural.
**[03:58] ---**
But I did it because I was scared!
**[04:01] ---**
Compared to the other
Legion Commanders, I was so weak!
**[04:06] ---**
Resorting to schemes
was the only way I could survive!
**[04:12] ---**
Zaboera...
**[04:13] ---**
With the defeat of
my Superior Being Zombie,
**[04:17] ---**
I realized I can't survive
without relying on others.
**[04:22] ---**
Now that I know that, I beg of you...
**[04:25] ---**
Please spare me!
**[04:27] ---**
I swear I'll never help
the Dark Army again!
**[04:31] ---**
You're the only one I can trust!
**[04:35] ---**
The Dark Army has abandoned me
and the humans won't accept me!
**[04:40] ---**
I'm begging you!
**[04:48] ---**
*That's it, you naive twit.
Feel conflicted.*
**[04:56] ---**
*True, I have no Magic Power
or stamina left.*
**[05:00] ---**
*But I still have the hundreds of toxins
that flow in my body.*
**[05:06] ---**
*I've just mixed a poison
that will turn him into my puppet.*
**[05:12] ---**
*Just a scratch and I've won.*
**[05:15] ---**
*Come on! Fall for it, Crocodine!*
**[05:21] ---**
All right, Zaboera.
**[05:23] ---**
Come.
**[05:26] ---**
*You fell for it, you fool!*
**[05:29] ---**
*You really are hopelessly naive,
you blockhead!*
**[05:32] ---**
*No, you're a stepping block
towards my new life!*
**[05:38] ---**
Got you!
**[05:42] ---**
*The handle of his axe...?*
**[05:49] ---**
You bastard! You were pretending!
**[05:55] ---**
Crocodine!
**[05:56] ---**
Zaboera.
**[05:57] ---**
I may not be smart,
but I have learned one thing from you.
**[06:03] ---**
And that's...
**[06:04] ---**
In this world, some people
are truly beyond all hope!
**[06:09] ---**
Wait a minute! Crocod--
**[06:20] ---**
Oh! Crocodine!
**[06:25] ---**
So you finally defeated this old gremlin!
**[06:29] ---**
He wasn't in the zombie
so we were searching for him!
**[06:34] ---**
Well! Good for you!
**[06:41] ---**
Hm?
**[06:42] ---**
Crocodine?
**[06:44] ---**
Old man...
**[06:45] ---**
Back when there were
six Legion Commanders,
**[06:49] ---**
Zaboera's great Magic Power made him
a respected individual.
**[06:53] ---**
But, blinded by his ambitions,
and doing nothing but use others,
**[06:58] ---**
he eventually became this lowly parasite.
**[07:02] ---**
If only he was like Dai
**[07:05] ---**
and had even a shred of desire
to grow through his own strength...
**[07:10] ---**
Greed is a terrible thing.
**[07:13] ---**
If I hadn't been the first to fight Dai,
who knows how I might have ended up?
**[07:18] ---**
Zaboera was a true piece of filth.
And for that, I pity him.
**[07:25] ---**
You're a decent man, my friend.
**[07:28] ---**
But he's not like you.
**[07:31] ---**
Even if my friend, Beast King Crocodine
had remained an enemy,
**[07:37] ---**
he would have risked his life to better
himself and would be worth respecting.
**[07:42] ---**
At least I think so.
**[07:45] ---**
Old man...
**[07:48] ---**
Thank you.
**[07:49] ---**
Let's go... back to the others.
**[07:59] ---**
Is he a demon?!
**[08:01] ---**
We can't win! He's too strong!
**[08:03] ---**
Even with all these numbers...
**[08:08] ---**
We'll have to rush him together!
**[08:11] ---**
Give it up. It's useless.
**[08:13] ---**
What?!
**[08:14] ---**
Who said that?!
**[08:19] ---**
This one's mine.
**[08:22] ---**
No matter how many of you there are,
you can't win.
**[08:27] ---**
He's my prey. No one can have him.
**[08:30] ---**
*Hym?!*
**[08:32] ---**
What's wrong, Hyunckel?
**[08:33] ---**
You look like a bird hit by a peashooter.
**[08:37] ---**
I thought seeing my face
didn't make you feel anything.
**[08:42] ---**
Are you really the pawn Hym?!
**[08:45] ---**
Hadlar created his Royal Guard using
Forbidden Magic on Orichalcum pieces.
**[08:52] ---**
In other words, now that Hadlar is dead
and the flow of his Magic Power stopped,
**[08:56] ---**
you shouldn't be able to remain alive!
**[09:00] ---**
So why?!
**[09:01] ---**
I don't know.
**[09:05] ---**
*After you defeated me,
I fell from Vearn Palace to the ground.*
**[09:09] ---**
*I definitely should have died.*
**[09:14] ---**
*I sensed my consciousness
slipping into darkness.*
**[09:20] ---**
*I felt the sense of my own death.*
**[09:25] ---**
But...
**[09:26] ---**
through that darkness,
something rang out within me.
**[09:32] ---**
*It was the dying cries of my friends
and Lord Hadlar in their final battle.*
**[09:38] ---**
*I knew my friends were dead.
That Lord Hadlar was dead.*
**[09:43] ---**
*We had all lost.*
**[09:47] ---**
*In that moment,
from the bottom of my heart...*
**[09:51] ---**
*I felt I couldn't die!*
**[09:53] ---**
*Even if I was the only one left...*
**[09:55] ---**
*I had to live on and carry on
the will of Lord Hadlar and my friends!*
**[10:04] ---**
*I had to strike back at you
or my death would have been in vain!*
**[10:14] ---**
So that's it.
**[10:16] ---**
When I came to,
the hole in my chest was gone.
**[10:20] ---**
*It's a miracle!*
**[10:21] ---**
*A miracle caused by an undying spirit!*
**[10:25] ---**
*So Hym is no longer a puppet
controlled by Hadlar's Magic Power?*
**[10:30] ---**
*Could it be...?!*
**[10:33] ---**
For a moment I wondered who it was.
**[10:37] ---**
It turns out it's that loser,
Hadlar's little slave!
**[10:40] ---**
So this barely-alive failure wants
to take our place? What a joke!
**[10:46] ---**
We'll take care of you
before the Disciples of Avan!
**[10:50] ---**
Die, you piece of scrap!
**[10:56] ---**
Fools. I would have let you live
if you stayed out of my way.
**[11:01] ---**
But now, it looks like I can't!
**[11:06] ---**
Sure you got in my way.
**[11:08] ---**
But to have garbage like you
talk down and insult Lord Hadlar...
**[11:14] ---**
It's completely unforgivable!
**[11:46] ---**
S-Silver hair?!
**[11:48] ---**
*Hym's almost like...*
**[11:51] ---**
*Hadlar!*
**[12:58] ---**
*This is...*
**[13:18] ---**
*Why do I have this?*
**[13:22] ---**
*This is almost like Lord Hadlar's...*
**[13:26] ---**
*Hym...*
**[13:28] ---**
I think you resemble me the most.
**[13:34] ---**
*It's like Hadlar reincarnated!*
**[13:37] ---**
*And that energy Hym just emitted
was definitely Aura!*
**[13:41] ---**
*Aura is life energy*
**[13:44] ---**
*that a doll imbued with
artificial life shouldn't be able to use.*
**[13:48] ---**
*That's right!*
**[13:49] ---**
*Hym is now a new individual life form!*
**[13:53] ---**
*Hadlar's life must have entered Hym!*
**[13:57] ---**
*Simultaneously, it's the birth
of a powerful enemy!*
**[14:00] ---**
*Air attacks won't work anymore.*
**[14:03] ---**
*And attacks of Aura
from its Orichalcum body...*
**[14:09] ---**
*will be as powerful as Dai's Aura Blade!*
**[14:14] ---**
And now...
**[14:16] ---**
let's get started, Hyunckel.
**[14:18] ---**
Though it looks like you can barely stand.
**[14:22] ---**
Weak as they were, you fought
all those enemies. You must be drained.
**[14:27] ---**
But I won't be holding back.
**[14:30] ---**
For me, you're an obstacle
that must be overcome!
**[14:35] ---**
I've felt it from
the first time we fought.
**[14:39] ---**
Just as Lord Hadlar
gave everything to defeat Dai,
**[14:42] ---**
I have one goal left in this world.
**[14:46] ---**
And that's you, Hyunckel!
**[14:50] ---**
Take this!
**[14:51] ---**
From me and all of the Royal Guard.
**[14:55] ---**
All of our pride and anger...
**[14:58] ---**
in this fist!
**[15:05] ---**
STAR EMPEROR CROSS SLASH
**[15:10] ---**
BEAST KING REDEMPTION BLAST
**[15:18] ---**
Thanks.
**[15:19] ---**
You did well, Garuda.
**[15:23] ---**
We managed to defend this Magic Circle.
**[15:27] ---**
Well done, all of you.
**[15:30] ---**
With this Magic Circle, we can send help
to Vearn Palace at any time.
**[15:36] ---**
And if anyone from Dai's party is hurt,
we can bring them back here.
**[15:40] ---**
Oh, that's right!
Vearn Palace no longer has its barrier!
**[15:45] ---**
That means anyone who can fly
can get to Vearn Palace!
**[15:51] ---**
Even so, we're in tatters from
the battle defending the Magic Circle.
**[15:55] ---**
There's no one healthy enough
that we can send.
**[16:00] ---**
Okay!
**[16:02] ---**
Leave this to me!
**[16:06] ---**
-That's right.
-He still has plenty of spirit.
**[16:09] ---**
My friends! We face Dark King Vearn!
**[16:12] ---**
Sending the wounded or weak
will only lead to more casualties!
**[16:18] ---**
And of the Commandos, only Terry,
Rumbles, and Drack-Drack can fly!
**[16:23] ---**
He's probably the weakest of us.
**[16:26] ---**
True that.
**[16:27] ---**
Obviously, as captain
of the Commandos, I'll be going.
**[16:31] ---**
So two more!
**[16:32] ---**
Once we select two more members,
we'll leave this place to you all!
**[16:37] ---**
Mr. Crocodine, you'll go, right?
**[16:39] ---**
Of course! Need you ask?
**[16:41] ---**
Sorry. I wish I could go, but...
**[16:45] ---**
Oh, that's okay.
You need to look after Lon Beruk.
**[16:50] ---**
One more person.
Preferably someone who can heal...
**[16:54] ---**
*Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!*
**[16:57] ---**
*Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!*
**[17:00] ---**
*Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!*
**[17:04] ---**
*I'm not sure why,
but I sense incredible pressure...*
**[17:07] ---**
I choose Mr. Beast!
**[17:10] ---**
*But...*
**[17:11] ---**
Okay! That makes three!
**[17:14] ---**
Oh, right!
**[17:16] ---**
Everybody!
**[17:17] ---**
Toss whatever
healing items you have in here!
**[17:30] ---**
Mr. Crocodine, hurry!
**[17:33] ---**
Right!
**[17:37] ---**
We're counting on you!
**[17:40] ---**
*I guess I can't stop healing Merle.*
**[17:43] ---**
*It's unfortunate, but...*
**[17:45] ---**
*Hyunckel...*
**[17:56] ---**
Again, I've returned here.
**[17:58] ---**
But this time I won't lose!
**[18:02] ---**
So this is Vearn Palace.
**[18:04] ---**
Chiu.
**[18:06] ---**
We should send these three back.
**[18:08] ---**
You're probably right.
**[18:10] ---**
Good work guys!
**[18:12] ---**
Go back to Loroi Valley
and await our return with the others!
**[18:17] ---**
Don't worry! I promise we'll win
and return to you!
**[18:22] ---**
I never lie!
**[18:24] ---**
I swear on my Commando badge!
**[18:32] ---**
*He's still weak, but he's big-hearted.*
**[18:37] ---**
*This little runt just might end up
being someone great someday.*
**[18:41] ---**
Okay then!
**[18:43] ---**
I wonder where everyone is.
**[18:54] ---**
That was a good hit, wasn't it, Hyunckel?
**[19:01] ---**
*I couldn't react to that at all!*
**[19:05] ---**
*Hym's speed and power are incredible!*
**[19:07] ---**
So this is Aura. What a wonderful ability.
**[19:12] ---**
It's like my rising anger
channels directly into power!
**[19:20] ---**
Don't tell me it's over already.
**[19:24] ---**
What else have you got for me?!
**[19:31] ---**
I guess it really is over...
**[19:33] ---**
even for you.
**[19:35] ---**
*It's impossible!*
**[19:37] ---**
*With all the Aura I've spent fighting,*
**[19:41] ---**
*I'm no match for Hym with
that amount of overflowing, newborn Aura!*
**[19:48] ---**
*How can I fight? How?*
**[19:55] ---**
*No! I'm losing sense of my body!*
**[20:00] ---**
*I can't afford to lose here!*
**[20:06] ---**
*Dai... Popp...*
**[20:10] ---**
Maam...
**[20:22] ---**
*Hyunckel... Hyunckel...*
**[20:28] ---**
*Hyunckel...*
**[20:33] ---**
*Come on! Just stand up!*
**[20:37] ---**
*Hyunckel!*
**[20:44] ---**
Hyunckel.
**[20:46] ---**
You still aren't doing what I told you to.
**[20:50] ---**
What you... told me to?
**[20:53] ---**
That's right.
**[20:54] ---**
A defeat after trying everything
is nothing to be ashamed of.
**[21:00] ---**
But there's still something
that you can do.
**[21:05] ---**
If you're going to lose,
try everything first and then lose.
**[21:11] ---**
Otherwise, you'll never
become a stronger you.
**[21:16] ---**
Give everything you have
and fight to the end.
**[21:21] ---**
That's what makes a true warrior.
**[21:34] ---**
That's right.
That's more like it, my eternal rival.
**[21:39] ---**
*It's so strange.*
**[21:41] ---**
*I used to despise him.*
**[21:44] ---**
*I even wanted to kill him once.*
**[21:50] ---**
*Master...*
**[21:51] ---**
*Whenever I fell,
something made me get back up.*
**[21:56] ---**
*It was always you!*
**[22:11] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:11] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:20] ---**
*I gaze at you from behind
as you begin to walk away*
**[22:20] ---**
*arukidasu kimi no ushirosugata wo nagameru*
**[22:30] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:30] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:39] ---**
*We act tough and follow our hearts*
**[22:39] ---**
*massugu de tsuyogari na sonna bokura ga*
**[22:45] ---**
*And we began this tale together*
**[22:45] ---**

**[22:50] ---**
*Beyond the horizon something glimmers*
**[22:50] ---**
*chiheisen no mukou de kirameiteiru*
**[22:56] ---**
*We've been seeking something certain*

*In the distant sky, dancing in the wind*
**[23:04] ---**

*The birds sing as though
illuminating the future*
**[23:09] ---**

*The promise that connects us

**[23:21] ---**
*Again in this world*
**[23:21] ---**
*mata kono sekai de*
**[23:34] ---**
*Hym returned from the brink of death
to appear before Hyunckel.*
**[23:38] ---**
*Hym has been imbued with Hadlar's spirit
and evolved into a mighty warrior.*
**[23:43] ---**
*Having spent all his Aura,
Hyunckel struggles,*
**[23:47] ---**
*but eventually goes for a final gambit.*
**[23:49] ---**
*Hyunckel or Hym.*
**[23:51] ---**
*Who will have the stronger will?*
**[23:54] ---**
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,*
**[23:56] ---**
*"The Silver-Haired Hym"*

THE SILVER-HAIRED HYM
**[02:14] ---**
What's wrong?!
**[02:15] ---**
You were so determined earlier,
but you're still losing!
**[02:19] ---**
Fight back a little!
**[02:21] ---**
Where's your Bloody Scryde?!
**[02:23] ---**
Try that Air Strike attack of yours again!
**[02:27] ---**
It wouldn't work.
**[02:30] ---**
Hym, you aren't just a pawn anymore.
**[02:34] ---**
My Bloody Scryde probably won't hit you.
**[02:37] ---**
And you can no longer
be killed by my Air Strike.
**[02:42] ---**
In other words, most of my attacks
won't have an effect on you now.
**[02:47] ---**
In the rules of chess, a pawn
that has gone deep into enemy territory
**[02:51] ---**
can gain the abilities of a queen
or other powerful pieces.
**[02:57] ---**
*The ascension of a pawn... A promotion!*
**[03:00] ---**
That silver hair could be
proof of your promotion.
**[03:05] ---**
Proof of your evolution
to a top-class warrior!
**[03:10] ---**
So what?
**[03:12] ---**
So if you can't win,
you'll just give up all fighting?!
**[03:35] ---**
*No!*
**[03:37] ---**
*Those aren't the eyes
of someone who has given up!*
**[03:40] ---**
*He still has something up his sleeve!*
**[03:44] ---**
*I'm beginning to see
the weakness in Hym's movements!*
**[03:48] ---**
*Right after throwing
a destructive left punch,*
**[03:53] ---**
*Hym's entire body freezes
for just an instant!*
**[03:56] ---**
*I'll have to attack
with all my strength in that moment...*
**[04:00] ---**
*with my greatest, strongest attack!*
**[04:04] ---**
He's coming!
**[04:18] ---**
Bring it on!
**[04:25] ---**
Your toys won't work anymore!
**[04:30] ---**
Die, Hyunckel!
**[04:42] ---**
This is...?!
**[04:43] ---**
*My Grand Cross!*
**[04:45] ---**
*Normally, it can be dodged,
but if fired inward, there's no escape!*
**[04:50] ---**
Hym, it's time to experience hell with me!
**[05:10] ---**
*I see.*
**[05:11] ---**
*He placed all his bets
on that self-sacrificing attack.*
**[05:16] ---**
It might have worked
if it actually hit me.
**[05:26] ---**
I beat you! I win, Hyunckel!
**[05:30] ---**
*In my peak condition, I could have won.*
**[05:34] ---**
*But I've already used Grand Cross twice,
so focusing my Aura took too long.*
**[05:41] ---**
*Now I've used all my weapons
and all the energy I have.*
**[05:46] ---**
*I'm truly all out of options...*
**[05:55] ---**
It's still kind of weird
having Popp heal me.
**[06:02] ---**
Yeah, I feel the same way.
I only just attained the spell.
**[06:07] ---**
But if you can cast Heal-type spells,
you didn't need to have Maam heal you.
**[06:14] ---**
Shut up! I really was
out of Magic Power at the time!
**[06:20] ---**
You little...
**[06:21] ---**
*Popp's so amazing.*
**[06:23] ---**
*It feels like
there's less and less need for me...*
**[06:28] ---**
Okay! We're all fully healed up!
**[06:33] ---**
Come and get us, Dark Army!
**[06:44] ---**
It's kind of unsettling...
**[06:47] ---**
This silence.
**[06:48] ---**
Aren't Master and Leona coming back?
**[06:51] ---**
Yeah. It's been a while now.
**[06:53] ---**
When entering an enemy's fortress,
**[06:56] ---**
it's actually a bad sign
for enemies to suddenly not show up.
**[07:01] ---**
That usually means...
**[07:03] ---**
Exactly. As you know...
**[07:06] ---**
it means someone powerful enough
to be entrusted with its defense is there.
**[07:13] ---**
It means there's no need
for any weak guardians.
**[07:22] ---**
Mystvearn!
**[07:24] ---**
This is the White Garden.
**[07:26] ---**
Also known as the heart of Vearn Palace,
**[07:29] ---**
which leads to the central tower,
the Tower of Supremacy.
**[07:32] ---**
Past that is King Vearn's chamber.
**[07:35] ---**
It's the most beautiful place
in Vearn Palace.
**[07:40] ---**
What is this, a sightseeing tour?!
**[07:44] ---**
I thought you'd like to know
the name of where you will die.
**[07:49] ---**
Bastard!
**[07:57] ---**
*Not yet! I can't give up yet!*
**[08:00] ---**
*Princess Leona told me
that the power of my soul is Fortitude.*
**[08:06] ---**
*So long as there's even a shred
of fighting spirit left within me...*
**[08:16] ---**
*Lord Hadlar, are you watching?*
**[08:20] ---**
*I... I've finally beaten
a Disciple of Avan!*
**[08:30] ---**
*Is he immortal?!*
**[08:37] ---**
*So he wants to fight until he dies.*
**[08:40] ---**
Very well!
**[08:43] ---**
Here!
**[08:45] ---**
I appreciate it, but I won't use my spear.
**[08:49] ---**
No. Not just my spear...
**[08:57] ---**
What?!
**[09:00] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[09:01] ---**
Aura against Aura!
**[09:03] ---**
Hym, I've cast away everything
in order to fight you on equal ground!
**[09:09] ---**
This fist will settle things!
**[09:14] ---**
Are you insane, Hyunckel?!
**[09:17] ---**
My body is made of Orichalcum!
**[09:19] ---**
A human like you can't shatter me
with your bare fists!
**[09:23] ---**
Whether I can or not, I have to try first.
**[09:27] ---**
This fist is the only weapon I have left.
**[09:31] ---**
I have no choice but to wager
everything on it!
**[09:35] ---**
If I lose, all that remains is death!
**[09:38] ---**
Did you discard your armour and spear...
**[09:42] ---**
I did it to force myself into a corner.
**[09:46] ---**
*I knew it!*
**[09:48] ---**
When I first awoke to the Aura of Light,
I tore steel apart with my hands!
**[09:54] ---**
The flame of my life may grow weak...
**[09:56] ---**
but if I turn all of it into Aura
and focus it into my fist,
**[10:01] ---**
it could be strong enough
to penetrate your body!
**[10:04] ---**
I'll focus the last of my power
into this fist!
**[10:09] ---**
Unbelievable.
**[10:12] ---**
This is more than
just a desperate measure!
**[10:16] ---**
But don't bother, Hyunckel.
**[10:19] ---**
Your obsession for fighting
is impressive...
**[10:23] ---**
but you're forgetting one thing.
**[10:39] ---**
GRAND CROSS
**[10:44] ---**
DARK PUPPETRY AURA HAND
**[10:53] ---**
Take a look at this.
**[10:55] ---**
My Heat Knuckle. No, it's a fist of Aura
so it's my Aura Knuckle.
**[11:01] ---**
This is no normal weapon.
**[11:04] ---**
It's Aura-infused Orichalcum,
so that's obvious.
**[11:11] ---**
It doesn't matter how much
you enhance your fist with Aura.
**[11:16] ---**
My Aura Knuckle
is even harder than Orichalcum.
**[11:20] ---**
Can you beat Dai or Lord Hadlar
empty-handed while they wield weapons?
**[11:27] ---**
Of course you can't.
**[11:31] ---**
If this hits, it'll obliterate
normal flesh beyond all recognition.
**[11:38] ---**
I don't want you to die
in such a pitiful way.
**[11:43] ---**
What?
**[11:44] ---**
Defeating you was the first
purpose in life I've ever had.
**[11:51] ---**
From the moment I saw you, I knew it.
**[11:55] ---**
You walk around like
you're the strongest there ever was.
**[11:59] ---**
Turning that cool expression
into one of fear was my one dream!
**[12:05] ---**
I believed that doing so
would serve Lord Hadlar.
**[12:10] ---**
But if you're going to die,
don't die in a pathetic way.
**[12:15] ---**
I want you to die as you lived.
With a cool look on your face.
**[12:21] ---**
Hym, when we first fought,
you said something similar.
**[12:26] ---**
That it's better to die beautifully
than to live in disgrace.
**[12:32] ---**
It's true I don't fear death.
**[12:35] ---**
There was a time when I preferred
a glorious death to a life of disgrace.
**[12:42] ---**
But not anymore!
**[12:45] ---**
My friends showed me the truth.
**[12:49] ---**
A true warrior cannot ever give up
until they fulfill their purpose.
**[12:55] ---**
Even if it means eating mud,
one must carry out their duty.
**[13:00] ---**
It doesn't matter how disgraceful
or pathetic it may seem!
**[13:05] ---**
If there's even a sliver of a chance,
I'm going to bet on that!
**[13:12] ---**
Now come on, Hym!
**[13:14] ---**
This fist carries all of my fortitude!
**[13:17] ---**
Can it beat your implacable fist?!
**[13:20] ---**
It's time to find out!
**[13:24] ---**
You really are an amazing man.
**[13:29] ---**
I finally realize what it is about you
that I wanted to defeat.
**[13:34] ---**
You're an amazing individual, too, Hym.
**[13:37] ---**
You're second person
to ever drive me this far.
**[13:45] ---**
*Watch me, my friend!
This is my last great gambit!*
**[13:53] ---**
Here goes!
**[13:54] ---**
*Hym backed off.
Here comes Hym's greatest attack!*
**[14:07] ---**
I'll blow everything away
with my burning fist!
**[14:12] ---**
Take this! Aura Knuckle!
**[14:25] ---**
I've won!
**[14:31] ---**
What?! Why am I...
**[14:34] ---**
It's too bad, Hym.
Your fist never touched me.
**[14:39] ---**
My desperate strike
hit you before you could!
**[14:48] ---**
It's my fist that won!
**[14:59] ---**
*I won. It took everything I had
to pull it off.*
**[15:02] ---**
*Hym truly was a powerful foe.*
**[15:09] ---**
Dammit. How could my Orichalcum body...?
**[15:14] ---**
It's because your attack
was just that powerful.
**[15:18] ---**
Mine?
**[15:20] ---**
My Aura and strength aren't enough
to shatter Orichalcum.
**[15:24] ---**
I realized I had to use the force
of your charge and counter it.
**[15:31] ---**
The Avan Style has a similar skill.
I just applied it to my fist.
**[15:37] ---**
The one you used when fighting Baran...
**[15:40] ---**
*But the Hollow Stance requires emptying
oneself and taking an enemy blow.*
**[15:48] ---**
If I had tried that here, even with my
Aura suppressed, one blow would kill me.
**[15:55] ---**
*So I had no choice but to hit you
with my Aura-infused fist first.*
**[16:02] ---**
*The timing was truly
a life-or-death instant.*
**[16:09] ---**
But I managed to pull it off.
**[16:13] ---**
It was because you accepted
a head-on challenge from me.
**[16:19] ---**
Normally, you could have used
your martial arts to whittle me down
**[16:24] ---**
and gained a sure victory.
**[16:28] ---**
I'd never do that.
**[16:31] ---**
Even knowing that would bring me victory,
I'd never do that. Ever.
**[16:37] ---**
Beating you like that would be pointless.
**[16:41] ---**
I'd give my life to win,
**[16:43] ---**
but I'd rather die than win like that.
**[16:47] ---**
Hym...
**[16:49] ---**
It hurts.
**[16:51] ---**
Getting wounded used to only
cause me a tiny bit of pain.
**[16:58] ---**
I guess this is the pain of living.
**[17:03] ---**
You've won.
Now finish me like a victor should!
**[17:08] ---**
Hurry up!
**[17:22] ---**
What are you doing?
**[17:25] ---**
You aren't someone who should die here.
**[17:28] ---**
If you reach my friends,
they can heal you with magic.
**[17:34] ---**
Get up and go to them!
**[17:36] ---**
Are you kidding me?!
**[17:39] ---**
I gave it my all and lost!
I have no regrets! I don't need your pity!
**[17:46] ---**
It's not pity.
**[17:47] ---**
This is an order.
**[17:49] ---**
An order?
**[17:51] ---**
If the victor has the right
to take the life of the defeated...
**[17:57] ---**
then I take your death, not your life!
**[18:02] ---**
You aren't evil anymore.
**[18:05] ---**
Your wish to defeat me was a pure one.
**[18:10] ---**
Then there's no need
to finish you off in battle.
**[18:15] ---**
But I...
**[18:16] ---**
More importantly,
your life is no longer just your own.
**[18:22] ---**
You carry the lives of Hadlar
and the Royal Guard.
**[18:27] ---**
I don't believe you gained a new life
just because of a promotion.
**[18:33] ---**
You have an obligation
to live on for your friends.
**[18:38] ---**
Isn't that right, Hym?
**[18:42] ---**
I'm not telling you to join us.
**[18:45] ---**
If I survive the upcoming battle,
then I'll gladly fight you again.
**[18:52] ---**
So live on, Hym. With us.
**[18:58] ---**
That didn't come out well.
**[19:01] ---**
When my friends said it to me,
it came out kinder.
**[19:10] ---**
Damn you and your arrogance!
**[19:14] ---**
If I could move,
I'd punch you in the face!
**[19:20] ---**
Do it after you survive.
**[19:38] ---**
What's this shaking?!
**[19:40] ---**
It looks like the Cleaner of Vearn Palace
has finally lost patience.
**[19:46] ---**
The Cleaner?
**[19:52] ---**
Why are there seven pawns just like me?!
**[19:55] ---**
And there's Sigma and Block and Fenbren!
**[20:01] ---**
What are you talking about,
you useless piece of scrap?!
**[20:06] ---**
Have you forgotten?
Chess involves a king and a queen,
**[20:12] ---**
two bishops, two rooks, two knights,
and eight pawns, making 16 pieces.
**[20:19] ---**
King Vearn only gave Hadlar five of those!
**[20:27] ---**
And of the 16 pieces,
only one has its own will!
**[20:33] ---**
That is me!
**[20:35] ---**
The one King Vearn truly trusts!
**[20:39] ---**
Vearn Palace's greatest
and most powerful guardian!
**[20:44] ---**
The king, Maximum!
**[20:49] ---**
*It's no good! Hyunckel's in tatters
and I can't move!*
**[20:54] ---**
*We don't stand a chance
against that many Orichalcum warriors!*
**[20:59] ---**
Run Hyunckel! Just leave me and go!
**[21:02] ---**
Hym, stay where you are.
**[21:06] ---**
Forgive me. I don't think
I can keep my promise.
**[21:11] ---**
But you still have to survive.
**[21:14] ---**
Got it? You have to get to my friends.
**[21:18] ---**
I'll take care of them.
**[21:22] ---**
Wait! You're not...!
**[21:25] ---**
*I've fought.*
**[21:28] ---**
*I fought all this way.*
**[21:30] ---**
*I believed that only my pain
could make me forget my past.*
**[21:37] ---**
*That only the blood and sweat I spill
could wash away my sins.*
**[21:45] ---**
*But...*
**[21:51] ---**
*It all ends today!*
**[21:54] ---**
*There's no doubt.
This will be my last battle!*
**[22:11] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:11] ---**

**[23:37] ---**

*King Maximum appears
leading an Orichalcum Army.*

*The chess army and Maximum
attack the wounded Hyunckel mercilessly.*

*Can Hyunckel and Hym overcome
this perilous situation?*

CHECKMATE
**[01:52] ---**
King... Gaze!
**[02:05] ---**
As I thought!
**[02:07] ---**
You're so weakened
that a single hit will kill you!
**[02:16] ---**
You've taken so much damage that
Heal Type spells are no longer effective.
**[02:23] ---**
Just a nudge from a pawn and it's over.
**[02:27] ---**
I should warn you that no bluff
will work against my brain and eyes.
**[02:34] ---**
This brain contains all the battle data
**[02:38] ---**
that the Heyedras
have gathered on you lot.
**[02:45] ---**
I suggest you stop resisting
and die with one shot!
**[02:51] ---**
I have a question.
**[02:53] ---**
Hm? What is it?
I won't accept any pleading for your life.
**[02:58] ---**
You called yourself "Vearn Palace's
greatest and most powerful guardian."
**[03:04] ---**
So why aren't you guarding Vearn?
**[03:07] ---**
A simple warrior like you
who only sees the battle in front of them
**[03:12] ---**
would never understand.
**[03:15] ---**
Allow me to educate you.
**[03:17] ---**
The word "defeat"
doesn't exist in my lexicon.
**[03:24] ---**
Weeding out the weak and wounded
**[03:28] ---**
to decrease an enemy's numbers
is a rule of combat.
**[03:32] ---**
To enter battle means
victory must be assured.
**[03:37] ---**
My army, once deployed,
has never failed to wipe out an enemy.
**[03:44] ---**
To fight means to win!
**[03:46] ---**
That is how my army works!
**[03:50] ---**
Mystvearn should be holding off
the Hero and his friends at the moment.
**[03:55] ---**
First, I'll dispose of you weaklings
**[03:58] ---**
then I wipe out the Hero and his friends
keeping Mystvearn busy.
**[04:02] ---**
If I do that, I'll get credit
for wiping out all the intruders.
**[04:10] ---**
*What a lowlife!*
**[04:11] ---**
Do you understand?
**[04:13] ---**
Now it's time for you to die.
**[04:17] ---**
Actually, perhaps I should let
Mystvearn struggle a little longer.
**[04:22] ---**
He always looks down on me
and calls me the "Cleaner."
**[04:28] ---**
He should learn to be grateful to have me.
**[04:36] ---**
Who's the Cleaner of Vearn Palace?!
**[04:39] ---**
A metallic lifeform born
from an Orichalcum chess piece.
**[04:44] ---**
What?! The Hadlar Royal Guard?!
**[04:48] ---**
We've already defeated all of them!
**[04:51] ---**
There are more chess pieces
than the ones you've beaten.
**[04:56] ---**
Have you fought the king?
**[04:58] ---**
Huh? Isn't Hadlar the king?
**[05:01] ---**
Hadlar isn't a chess piece.
**[05:03] ---**
It makes sense that
the real king is still out there.
**[05:07] ---**
Besides, there are pieces come in pairs.
**[05:11] ---**
So there are other Orichalcum warriors
besides the Hadlar Royal Guard?!
**[05:16] ---**
Not ones with their own wills like them.
**[05:20] ---**
Only the king was born with its own will.
**[05:26] ---**
And it appears the king
has finally decided to make a move.
**[05:34] ---**
I understand.
**[05:35] ---**
Hm?
**[05:37] ---**
You're utter filth!
**[05:39] ---**
You're not worth leaving alive!
**[05:46] ---**
This is why I love
finishing off the dying.
**[05:50] ---**
I can end your lives with just a snap.
**[06:01] ---**
Go forth, my pieces!
**[06:16] ---**
Look at that! A bum rush
by my pawns and he's finished!
**[06:25] ---**
Return!
**[06:29] ---**
Huh?
**[06:30] ---**
What's wrong? I said to return!
**[06:44] ---**
W-What?!
**[06:47] ---**
He shattered Orichalcum with his fist?!
**[06:50] ---**
*That bastard! He did it!*
**[06:56] ---**
They're different.
**[06:57] ---**
Huh?!
**[06:58] ---**
I was right.
**[07:01] ---**
They're different from Hym!
**[07:05] ---**
What are you babbling about?!
**[07:08] ---**
Knight!
**[07:10] ---**
And you aren't Sigma!
**[07:18] ---**
What?!
**[07:20] ---**
In the Hadlar Royal Guard...
**[07:23] ---**
*Hym and Sigma and Albinass...*
**[07:27] ---**
*They were all great warriors
with their own wills!*
**[07:31] ---**
They were powerful and loyal
and willing to die for their master!
**[07:38] ---**
But your servants are simply pieces!
**[07:42] ---**
They're mindless puppets!
**[07:49] ---**
*Hyunckel...*
**[07:51] ---**
Y-You arrogant little...!
**[07:54] ---**
King Gaze!
**[07:58] ---**
S-See?! You're barely alive!
**[08:02] ---**
It'll only take a scratch
to take you down! You just got lucky!
**[08:06] ---**
But it's all over now!
**[08:09] ---**
Take him, Bishop! In one sure strike!
**[08:15] ---**
Yes! I did it!
**[08:28] ---**
Th-That's impossible!
**[08:32] ---**
The flame of my life may dwindle...
**[08:35] ---**
but it can't be extinguished
by mere puppets!
**[08:40] ---**
Dammit! Go forth, rook!
**[08:54] ---**
You too!
**[09:04] ---**
You're hollow!
**[09:06] ---**
P-Pawns!
**[09:09] ---**
All of you, take him!
**[09:38] ---**
*It's not dropping!*
**[09:39] ---**
*That last single point of damage!*
**[09:43] ---**
*A-All it should take is
one scratch to deplete it!*
**[09:49] ---**
*Why?! Why doesn't he die
from all those attacks?!*
**[09:54] ---**
*A-According to my databank,*
**[09:58] ---**
*the Dark Swordsman Hyunckel's
immortality is nothing but a label!*
**[10:04] ---**
*He should be a mere human!*
**[10:07] ---**
*I-In that case...!*
**[10:09] ---**
Super Gaze!
**[10:15] ---**
*L-Look at that!*
**[10:17] ---**
*There's no way anyone can safely
shatter Orichalcum bare-handed!*
**[10:22] ---**
*He's... He's beyond all healing!*
**[10:26] ---**
*S-So how...*
**[10:28] ---**
So how can he still move?!
**[10:37] ---**
*Amazing! The power driving Hyunckel
is greater than life itself!*
**[10:45] ---**
*That's... That's Fortitude!*
**[10:52] ---**
*All I have are five pawns left.*
**[10:54] ---**
*There's no way they can't
cause a single point of damage...*
**[10:59] ---**
*but I have to admit that he possesses
some kind of supernatural power.*
**[11:06] ---**
*My next... My next order is...*
**[11:09] ---**
All return! Return and guard me!
**[11:16] ---**
He's... He's gone?!
**[11:19] ---**
W-Where is he?!
**[11:22] ---**
Right here.
**[11:49] ---**
They're just puppets.
**[11:51] ---**
They won't help you
unless you order them to.
**[11:55] ---**
You really are like
the king on a chess board.
**[11:59] ---**
All you can do
is order other pieces around.
**[12:04] ---**
You use your troops to surround
and corner your enemies.
**[12:09] ---**
Your tactical mind
is your only real strength!
**[12:14] ---**
If you really had any power at all,
**[12:18] ---**
you wouldn't have summoned
your troops back to you!
**[12:23] ---**
Checkmate, Maximum.
**[12:28] ---**
*He's won!*
**[12:34] ---**
GRAND CROSS
**[12:39] ---**
AURA KNUCKLE
**[12:44] ---**
King Access!
**[12:48] ---**
*I can control my pawns with just a finger,
but it's not enough to defeat him!*
**[12:54] ---**
*I need to find a definite weakness.*
**[13:00] ---**
*Oh?!*
**[13:04] ---**
Got it!
**[13:05] ---**
Hyunckel, finish them off!
**[13:09] ---**
Hym!
**[13:11] ---**
Stop!
**[13:16] ---**
Hey! Let go!
**[13:33] ---**
You idiot! You should just
forget about me!
**[13:37] ---**
I can't do that!
**[13:39] ---**
Damaged as you are,
falling from here would kill you!
**[13:45] ---**
Exactly!
**[13:47] ---**
So, what now?!
**[13:50] ---**
You can't do anything!
**[13:53] ---**
That's enough! Just let go!
**[13:56] ---**
He can't.
**[13:59] ---**
His past data proves it.
**[14:01] ---**
No matter what happens,
**[14:05] ---**
this man can't sacrifice
his friends to save himself.
**[14:09] ---**
Even if it means death for you two,
he can't choose his own survival.
**[14:16] ---**
He's just that kind of fool.
**[14:20] ---**
*What? He considers me a friend?!*
**[14:24] ---**
However, that's a mortal weakness!
**[14:29] ---**
You used to be a heartless warrior,
**[14:33] ---**
but all that compassion and love
from your friends has made you soft!
**[14:38] ---**
It's the one weakness
of the immortal warrior!
**[14:43] ---**
*Love?*
**[14:44] ---**
The fact that I discovered that
proves how great my mind is!
**[14:50] ---**
It's super, super great!
**[14:53] ---**
*I see. I...*
**[14:57] ---**
*I did what Maam did.*
**[15:01] ---**
*To think... I could do that...*
**[15:06] ---**
Hyunckel?
**[15:08] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[15:10] ---**
I was hoping to at least save you,
but I wasn't strong enough.
**[15:16] ---**
But if I'm going to lose
for my compassion or love...
**[15:21] ---**
that's a loss I proudly accept.
**[15:25] ---**
You idiot!
**[15:28] ---**
I share that opinion.
**[15:30] ---**
He's indeed quite the idiot.
**[15:33] ---**
And now I shall take
that last point of yours.
**[15:40] ---**
My fist is far greater than any pawn!
**[15:45] ---**
Now splatter into pulp, you weakling!
**[15:58] ---**
*"Thud?"*
**[16:04] ---**
Wh-Who dares?!
Wh-Who would display such insolence?!
**[16:11] ---**
"Such insolence"?
**[16:15] ---**
It's what I always do...
**[16:18] ---**
to scum who fight dishonorably.
**[16:22] ---**
I make it a point to impale them
with my Dark Spear.
**[16:26] ---**
Y-You!
**[16:28] ---**
Identify yourself!
**[16:31] ---**
Land Rider...
**[16:36] ---**
Larhart has arrived!
**[16:40] ---**
L-Land Rider?!
**[16:43] ---**
*Larhart!*
**[16:50] ---**
What? Who is that?
**[16:53] ---**
It seems that miracles
come in twos and threes.
**[16:58] ---**
Huh?
**[16:59] ---**
Like Avan, another amazing individual
has returned from the afterlife.
**[17:05] ---**
My greatest rival,
and the friend whose will I carry...
**[17:10] ---**
Land Rider Larhart!
**[17:13] ---**
Access!
**[17:16] ---**
*Larhart. Former Dragon Legion follower
and one of the Dragon Masters.*
**[17:21] ---**
*Master of the spear and original owner
of the Dark Armour Spear.*
**[17:26] ---**
*According to my records,
he died in the fight with the Heroes.*
**[17:32] ---**
Did you lose your way,
you lost soul?!
**[17:36] ---**
But my magnificent brain
obviously contains data on you, too!
**[17:43] ---**
I've already accessed it!
**[17:46] ---**
I already know all of your attacks!
**[17:51] ---**
Oh? That's impressive.
**[17:54] ---**
What sort of data?
**[17:56] ---**
Supposedly you possess great speed...
**[17:59] ---**
Your greatest attack
is your Sunder Claw.
**[18:03] ---**
But, empty-handed,
you have no choice but to evade me!
**[18:08] ---**
To counter that...
**[18:11] ---**
Huh?!
**[18:25] ---**
That movement...!
**[18:26] ---**
Take a good look, Hym.
**[18:28] ---**
You're pretty fast,
but there's always someone faster.
**[18:34] ---**
Well? Could you see it?
**[18:37] ---**
My supposed "great speed"?
**[18:41] ---**
If simply knowing I'm fast was
enough to win, things would be easy.
**[18:46] ---**
At this rate, your other data
is probably useless in actual battle.
**[18:54] ---**
Take him, my pawns!
**[18:58] ---**
I see. In that case...
**[19:01] ---**
let me show you for posterity's sake!
**[19:06] ---**
This is the real...
**[19:09] ---**
Here it comes!
**[19:10] ---**
...Sunder Claw!
**[19:54] ---**
Very well! I'll let you
have the victory for today!
**[20:00] ---**
But my army cannot lose!
**[20:04] ---**
Next time I swear...
**[20:07] ---**
There is no next time.
**[20:10] ---**
If you take one step
from that position you will die.
**[20:15] ---**
What are you talking about?!
**[20:17] ---**
Your hollow threats don't scare me!
**[20:22] ---**
Wait, you didn't even notice?!
**[20:26] ---**
*He already shredded your whole body
at an incredible speed!*
**[20:31] ---**
What?!
**[20:35] ---**
That's impossible!
**[20:37] ---**
You're all trying
to trick me, aren't you?!
**[20:41] ---**
King Access!
**[20:49] ---**
I get it! This is a psychological trap!
**[20:53] ---**
You can't trick me
with such uncertain information!
**[21:00] ---**
And now, goodbye!
**[21:02] ---**
Until we meet again!
**[21:07] ---**
Huh?
**[21:15] ---**
You reap what you sow. A fitting end.
**[21:20] ---**
That king really was a true idiot.
**[21:26] ---**
Wait! I could have been
one of those pawns!
**[21:31] ---**
Thank goodness I was born
as Lord Hadlar's servant.
**[21:34] ---**
That's one in eight...
**[21:46] ---**
*What is this Larhart guy?*
**[21:51] ---**

THE BATTLE IN THE WHITE GARDEN
**[01:51] ---**
So you managed to survive.
**[01:54] ---**
That's not entirely correct.
**[01:57] ---**
In fact, I died once.
**[02:00] ---**
But, I was given the Dragon Blood
that flows in Master Baran's veins.
**[02:05] ---**
It resurrected me from the brink of death.
**[02:08] ---**
*Dragon Blood?!*
**[02:10] ---**
*What he used to resurrect Popp
after his life ended!*
**[02:15] ---**
Master Baran shared his Dragon Blood
with us three Dragon Masters,
**[02:20] ---**
and laid us down in the forest
near the Fountain of Miracles.
**[02:27] ---**
*But Dragon Blood doesn't guarantee
the resurrection of all who drink it.*
**[02:34] ---**
*Only in those with the willpower necessary
to crawl back from the brink of death*
**[02:40] ---**
*is this effect observed.*
**[02:45] ---**
*I was the only one of us three
who made it back.*
**[02:51] ---**
*I see. So it was Popp's strong will
that allowed him to resurrect.*
**[02:57] ---**
I awakened from my long slumber
in my coffin just a few days ago.
**[03:03] ---**
I almost missed this final battle.
**[03:07] ---**
Thank you. If you hadn't saved me, I...
**[03:11] ---**
I don't recall ever saving you, Hyunckel.
**[03:15] ---**
I merely disposed of an enemy in my way.
**[03:19] ---**
I have no interest in rescuing losers.
**[03:22] ---**
W-What?!
**[03:25] ---**
I know how soft you are.
**[03:28] ---**
Those wounds must be from
protecting that enemy there.
**[03:32] ---**
An action unfitting of a Warrior,
a professional in combat.
**[03:36] ---**
Of course you lost.
**[03:38] ---**
You bastard!
**[03:40] ---**
You may be right.
**[03:42] ---**
Huh?!
**[03:44] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[03:45] ---**
To coldly analyze a situation
and defeat enemies like a machine...
**[03:51] ---**
If that's what makes a Warrior,
then it's something I can no longer do.
**[03:56] ---**
I'm no longer worthy.
**[03:59] ---**
No matter what happened,
I couldn't abandon Hym!
**[04:05] ---**
It appears that leaving the fates of
Master Baran and Master Dino in your hands
**[04:10] ---**
was a mistake on my part.
**[04:13] ---**
Looking at you like that, I doubt
you'll be of any use to Master Dino!
**[04:21] ---**
W-What do you think you're doing?!
**[04:25] ---**
This man is too pitiful to let live.
**[04:28] ---**
I'm going to finish him myself!
**[04:49] ---**
L-Larhart...
**[04:53] ---**
The Warrior Hyunckel is dead.
**[04:56] ---**
I just killed him right now.
**[05:00] ---**
Therefore, there is no reason why
I shouldn't take the Dark Armour Spear.
**[05:12] ---**
Yes. Go ahead.
**[05:14] ---**
A corpse has no use for armour.
**[05:19] ---**
Amdo!
**[05:30] ---**
Farewell my friend. May you rest in peace.
**[05:35] ---**
Larhart...
**[05:37] ---**
You were too kind
to continue fighting forever.
**[05:43] ---**
Dammit! That Darkling pisses me off!
**[05:47] ---**
Let him go.
**[05:49] ---**
That was his own brand of kindness.
**[05:52] ---**
I think he was sent
to protect Dai in my place.
**[05:56] ---**
A savior that Baran sent from the heavens.
**[06:00] ---**
He's a savior?
**[06:03] ---**
By passing judgment on me,
**[06:06] ---**
he took on my will and duty.
**[06:12] ---**
*We both watched each other die.
What a strange twist of fate.*
**[06:19] ---**
*I've done all I could.*
**[06:21] ---**
*I even managed to rescue Hym.*
**[06:24] ---**
*Maybe now... Maybe now
no one will scold me...*
**[06:30] ---**
*Mas... ter.*
**[06:33] ---**
Yeah, but it's that sort of "We've got a
special bond" attitude that's annoying.
**[06:41] ---**
I'm going to have to
kick his butt someday, too.
**[06:45] ---**
Whoops. But first, once we're healed,
I need to settle things with you.
**[06:50] ---**
Are you listening, Hyunckel?
**[06:54] ---**
*Hyunckel, thank you for using your body
to protect Master Dino until now.*
**[07:01] ---**
*You can leave the rest to me.*
**[07:04] ---**
*For I am the sort of
battle machine you spoke of.*
**[07:13] ---**
Oh! Look!
**[07:15] ---**
Is that Hyunckel?!
**[07:18] ---**
You're from the Royal Guard!
Why are you here?!
**[07:21] ---**
Hyunckel! What happened to Hyunckel?!
**[07:25] ---**
Shut up. Keep it down.
**[07:30] ---**
He's finally getting the rest he deserves.
**[07:35] ---**
Probably for the first time in his life...
**[07:38] ---**
he can forget about
fighting and destinies...
**[07:41] ---**
and rest his weary body and soul.
**[07:47] ---**
Right... Hyunckel?
**[08:00] ---**
It appears they were wiped out.
**[08:03] ---**
The King's Orichalcum Army.
**[08:06] ---**
Huh?!
**[08:08] ---**
But of course they were.
**[08:10] ---**
Maximum was just a delusional blowhard.
**[08:13] ---**
Maximum did not have King Vearn's favor.
**[08:16] ---**
That fool didn't know hunting a mouse
from finishing off a wounded beast.
**[08:22] ---**
So who took care of the Orichalcum Army?
**[08:26] ---**
It must have been
the ones not present, Hyunckel or Avan.
**[08:30] ---**
I'm right here!
**[08:42] ---**
Master Avan!
**[08:44] ---**
It must have been my first student
who took care of them!
**[08:50] ---**
You're late, Master!
**[08:51] ---**
We were worried!
**[08:52] ---**
Master!
**[08:57] ---**
Oh come on! It's not just Master Avan!
I'm here, too!
**[09:03] ---**
That's right!
**[09:05] ---**
I mean. It's not like we weren't
worried about you, Princess.
**[09:11] ---**
Honestly!
**[09:14] ---**
So you're Avan.
**[09:16] ---**
I see. You went ahead
into the Tower of Supremacy.
**[09:20] ---**
That's right! We've already scouted
most of the structure ahead!
**[09:26] ---**
And we took care of
most of the Reaper's traps, too.
**[09:32] ---**
Using my special item!
**[09:34] ---**
Huh?! M-Master,
you don't need to show them...
**[09:39] ---**
Hup!
**[09:45] ---**
These Seeperil Glasses
I found in the Cave of Trials
**[09:50] ---**
enable me to see through any trap!
**[09:58] ---**
SUNDER CLAW
**[10:03] ---**
CLICK
**[10:05] ---**
Swish, swish, swish!
**[10:07] ---**
With my Seeperil Glasses and hammer,
I crush traps with a swish, swish, swish!
**[10:13] ---**
*So much for Master's cool image.*
**[10:16] ---**
*If he had just kept quiet...*
**[10:18] ---**
Master's in some kind of mood.
**[10:19] ---**
Yeah. He could never let
any lame bit go to waste.
**[10:26] ---**
Did we waste our time worrying about him?
**[10:36] ---**
-Huh?
-H-Hey...
**[10:39] ---**
-It looks like Mystvearn finds it funny.
-That's impossible!
**[10:46] ---**
I understand now. What a fascinating man.
**[10:49] ---**
I've never encountered
a human like you, Avan.
**[10:53] ---**
I've known about you ever
since you defeated the Dark Lord Hadlar.
**[10:57] ---**
But to actually see you
is something else altogether.
**[11:03] ---**
You act in such a way
to hide your overwhelming talent.
**[11:07] ---**
And that profound integrity
I sense from within you...
**[11:11] ---**
No wonder your disciples
continue to look up to you.
**[11:19] ---**
Princess Leona has filled me in on
what's happened these past three months.
**[11:25] ---**
The current Dark Commander Mystvearn
**[11:28] ---**
is apparently the greatest, most powerful
barrier in the fight against Vearn.
**[11:33] ---**
It seems what I was told is true.
**[11:36] ---**
You would be right.
**[11:38] ---**
Seeing as there's no word from Zaboera,
I can only assume he's been defeated.
**[11:43] ---**
The self-proclaimed
"most powerful" king also fell.
**[11:46] ---**
I am the only one left who can
exterminate the nuisances in Vearn Palace.
**[11:51] ---**
I, Mystvearn, alone!
**[11:55] ---**
All the other former Six Legion Commanders
have been defeated!
**[12:00] ---**
Looks like it's almost over!
**[12:02] ---**
The Six Legion Commanders?
**[12:05] ---**
What's so funny?!
**[12:07] ---**
The Six Legion Commanders.
**[12:09] ---**
That was just a little amusement
King Vearn created on a whim.
**[12:14] ---**
He could have always wiped out
the surface world with me alone.
**[12:20] ---**
But King Vearn didn't want to
just destroy the surface world.
**[12:24] ---**
By creating legions that would
compete to carry out that purpose,
**[12:29] ---**
he wanted to gain the ultimate army
that would last into the future.
**[12:35] ---**
That's why he welcomed Hadlar, the most
powerful being in the surface world,
**[12:40] ---**
and placed me under his command.
**[12:43] ---**
*Baran and Hyunckel were chosen
for their spirit and hatred of humans.*
**[12:48] ---**
*Crocodine, for his loyalty.*
**[12:52] ---**
*Flazzard and Zaboera,
for their ambition and wisdom.*
**[12:56] ---**
*They were chosen for
the potential King Vearn saw in them.*
**[13:00] ---**
In order to create a powerful army,
**[13:03] ---**
the tension between such varying
personalities is essential.
**[13:08] ---**
But you managed to shatter that plan.
**[13:13] ---**
It was an unfortunate turn of events,
but ultimately meaningless.
**[13:18] ---**
The Dark Army was but a fleeting dream
of the last few decades.
**[13:24] ---**
Its loss doesn't hamper our goal
of wiping out the surface world at all!
**[13:28] ---**
I alone, have been here
for thousands of years!
**[13:33] ---**
I alone, have protected King Vearn!
**[13:43] ---**
*He's...*
**[13:45] ---**
*He's the most dangerous of all of them!*
**[13:48] ---**
*It's like he's on a whole different level
from the others!*
**[13:53] ---**
Now, come at me all at once!
**[13:56] ---**
I shall make this White Garden your grave!
**[14:01] ---**
Watch out, Dai!
**[14:03] ---**
He has a hidden face! An unknown power!
**[14:07] ---**
Yeah! I know!
**[14:09] ---**
We fight at full power!
**[14:14] ---**
Hold on!
**[14:16] ---**
I will fight that man!
**[14:26] ---**
By "you," do you mean by yourself, Avan?
**[14:36] ---**
That's crazy, Master!
**[14:37] ---**
That's right, Master!
**[14:39] ---**
If we fight together...!
**[14:44] ---**
*Master...*
**[14:45] ---**
Will you accept my challenge, Mystvearn?
**[14:52] ---**
I refuse.
**[14:54] ---**
What?!
**[14:55] ---**
I had forgotten about him.
**[14:58] ---**
He tends to be very vindictive.
**[15:02] ---**
Who knows what he'll do
if I try to take his prey?
**[15:08] ---**
Master!
**[15:12] ---**
A scythe?!
**[15:13] ---**
It's Killvearn! Killvearn got Master!
**[15:18] ---**
I knew it was you, Kill.
**[15:20] ---**
The Reaper lives up to his reputation.
**[15:25] ---**
*That's...*
**[15:26] ---**
Myst... sorry, but I leave
the others to you.
**[15:30] ---**
I've barely even started!
**[15:35] ---**
Master!
**[15:39] ---**
Master!
**[16:05] ---**
No!
**[16:07] ---**
Master!
**[16:08] ---**
The Reaper took him and vanished!
**[16:15] ---**
You have lost him again, Dai.
**[16:19] ---**
Not just once, but twice.
**[16:21] ---**
How does it feel to lose
your master before your eyes?
**[16:26] ---**
I imagine your heart must be overcome
with frustration and loss.
**[16:31] ---**
You did this together!
**[16:34] ---**
You worked with the Reaper
to assassinate Master!
**[16:38] ---**
That wasn't an assassination.
**[16:40] ---**
It's something much more interesting.
**[16:45] ---**
That was a duel.
**[16:47] ---**
A duel?!
**[16:48] ---**
The scythe that attacked Avan
wasn't Kill's favorite Reaper Flute.
**[16:54] ---**
That was a guide to drag Avan
to the place of their duel.
**[16:59] ---**
Avan wasn't killed.
**[17:01] ---**
But he's about to die.
**[17:14] ---**
Where...
**[17:16] ---**
Where is this?
**[17:29] ---**
Huh?
**[17:30] ---**
It-It's not moving.
**[17:34] ---**
That thing isn't targeting me?
**[17:37] ---**
Is this strange robot thing
what dragged me into this place?
**[17:44] ---**
Bingo!
**[17:46] ---**
Killvearn!
**[17:47] ---**
Hello Avan. Welcome to
the field of my revenge.
**[17:52] ---**
Normally, I'd prefer to immediately
repay you for humiliating me,
**[17:56] ---**
but I couldn't decide
which mask to wear.
**[18:00] ---**
I really liked the last one,
so finding a similar one was quite a pain.
**[18:05] ---**
But...
**[18:09] ---**
I managed to find
the perfect mask for the occasion!
**[18:15] ---**
*A... A Mask of Anger!*
**[18:17] ---**
As you can see, this mask
represents my emotional state.
**[18:21] ---**
No man has ever wounded my pride
and caused me such anger as you.
**[18:29] ---**
If anyone, that little Mage student
of yours was close.
**[18:34] ---**
But as his master, you annoy me even more!
**[18:37] ---**
As promised, I'm going to kill you myself!
**[18:43] ---**
So you're going with your anger
and giving up the smug facade?
**[18:48] ---**
So? What sort of dirty trap
have you prepared this time?
**[18:56] ---**
Consider that a left-hand glove.
**[18:59] ---**
This time there are no traps.
**[19:01] ---**
Fair and square,
I challenge you to a duel!
**[19:06] ---**
A duel?
**[19:07] ---**
That is what this field is for.
**[19:10] ---**
Take a look at that robot.
**[19:12] ---**
It's part of my collection
from the Underworld, called a Judge.
**[19:19] ---**
Its scythe has the ability to
tear reality and drag a target here.
**[19:25] ---**
How did the residents
of the Underworld use it you ask?
**[19:29] ---**
They used it as a dueling machine against
those they had a score to settle with.
**[19:35] ---**
Basically, as the name implies,
the Judge serves as overseer,
**[19:39] ---**
presiding over the duel
between the individuals trapped here.
**[19:45] ---**
*Here, isolated together
in this empty field,*
**[19:48] ---**
*they fight and fight and fight
until one finally falls!*
**[19:53] ---**
*And in the end, the Judge
passes its judgment!*
**[19:58] ---**
It takes the loser's head.
**[20:02] ---**
What a terrifying machine.
**[20:04] ---**
A fitting thing for the Underworld
where conflict never ends.
**[20:07] ---**
I got it because I rather like the design,
**[20:11] ---**
but I never imagined
I'd be using it myself.
**[20:16] ---**
You never know
what can prove useful in life.
**[20:20] ---**
So, Avan, will you accept my challenge?!
**[20:24] ---**
What do you mean "accept"?
**[20:27] ---**
The fact that I'm here
means I have no choice but to accept!
**[20:32] ---**
Don't talk about "fair and square."
**[20:35] ---**
This is the definition
of "trap," Killvearn!
**[20:40] ---**
That attitude!
I can assume you accept this duel!
**[20:49] ---**
Now we fight, Avan!
**[20:51] ---**
*What?! Killvearn's using a sword?!*
**[20:55] ---**
*Avan versus Killvearn. Battle start.*
**[21:19] ---**
*Killvearn draws first blood.
65 damage to Avan.*
**[21:30] ---**
Care to make a wager, Dai?
**[21:32] ---**
Which of us will come back here alive?
**[21:35] ---**
Obviously, I place my bet on Killvearn.
**[22:11] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:11] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:20] ---**
*I gaze at you from behind
as you begin to walk away*
**[22:20] ---**
*arukidasu kimi no ushirosugata wo nagameru*
**[22:30] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:30] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:39] ---**
*We act tough and follow our hearts*
**[22:39] ---**
*massugu de tsuyogari na sonna bokura ga*
**[22:45] ---**
*And we began this tale together*
**[22:45] ---**
*hajimeta monogatari*
**[22:50] ---**
*Beyond the horizon something glimmers*
**[22:50] ---**
*chiheisen no mukou de kirameiteiru*
**[22:56] ---**
*We've been seeking something certain*
**[22:56] ---**
*tashika na mono sagashitsuzukete iruno*
**[23:04] ---**
*In the distant sky, dancing in the wind*
**[23:04] ---**
*haruka sora ni kaze ni nori matte*
**[23:09] ---**
*The birds sing as though
illuminating the future*
**[23:09] ---**
*tobu tori wa naiteita mirai wo terasuyouni*
**[23:15] ---**
*The promise that connects us
The adventure we share*
**[23:15] ---**
*bokura wo tsunagu yakusoku to

**[23:21] ---**
*Again in this world*
**[23:21] ---**
*mata kono sekai de*
**[23:33] ---**
*Avan was dragged into
another dimension by Killvearn.*
**[23:37] ---**
*It was the wrathful Killvearn's way
of challenging him to a duel.*
**[23:41] ---**
*Dai and his friends are shaken
from losing Avan again.*
**[23:47] ---**
*Just as it seems
that Mystvearn has broken their spirit,*
**[23:50] ---**
*a single Feather strikes
the ground at their feet.*
**[23:54] ---**

THE SUCCESSOR OF JUSTICE
**[01:52] ---**
So that Underworld combat machine...
**[01:55] ---**
dragged Master and Killvearn
into a different dimension?!
**[01:59] ---**
No one can interfere
with a duel that uses the Judge.
**[02:03] ---**
When one is defeated,
they lose their head,
**[02:08] ---**
the Judge self-destructs, and only
the winner can return to this dimension.
**[02:14] ---**
What must we do?!
**[02:17] ---**
I'm asking you what we must do
to save our Master!
**[02:26] ---**
Well... I suppose if you want to know,
you have no choice but to ask me.
**[02:32] ---**
If you don't tell us, we'll defeat you
and force it out of you!
**[02:39] ---**
Here goes, Mystvearn!
**[02:42] ---**
Wait, Dai!
**[02:44] ---**
Mystvearn doesn't know!
**[02:46] ---**
Or rather, going over what he just said,
**[02:50] ---**
there's no viable way
to rescue Master from the Judge!
**[02:54] ---**
It's been used to settle disputes
in the Underworld since ancient times!
**[02:59] ---**
There's no way it can be
interfered with from the outside!
**[03:05] ---**
In other words, he's just pretending
to know of a way
**[03:09] ---**
in order to keep us here and deal
as much damage to you as possible!
**[03:16] ---**
That way, even if he loses,
Vearn will have more of an advantage!
**[03:21] ---**
Don't fall for the enemy's trick!
**[03:24] ---**
Believe in Master Avan's strength!
**[03:26] ---**
We have to get to the Dark King
as soon as possible!
**[03:32] ---**
Leona...
**[03:34] ---**
that's cold.
**[03:36] ---**
Huh?!
**[03:43] ---**
That's right.
**[03:44] ---**
I know what you're saying is right.
**[03:48] ---**
But to leave without making any attempt...
**[03:54] ---**
How can you expect us to do that?!
**[03:58] ---**
Maam...
**[04:00] ---**
*That's right.*
**[04:01] ---**
*Mystvearn is an enemy
we're going to have to defeat anyway.*
**[04:11] ---**
I'd expect nothing less
from the Disciples of Avan!
**[04:15] ---**
Now, come!
**[04:19] ---**
Wait!
**[04:21] ---**
Dai!
**[04:42] ---**
This is...
**[04:55] ---**
Master Avan's Feather!
**[05:05] ---**
Leona?!
**[05:06] ---**
Why does the Princess
have Master's Feathers?
**[05:14] ---**
Don't underestimate me.
**[05:18] ---**
Spellcraft and assassinations
aren't all that I can do.
**[05:25] ---**
And now...
**[05:27] ---**
it's over!
**[05:39] ---**
An Avan Strash?!
**[05:41] ---**
So this is the original!
**[05:43] ---**
*Avan's attack. 78 damage to Killvearn.*
**[05:48] ---**
This much damage from a single scratch?
**[05:53] ---**
*Then, back there...*
**[05:56] ---**
That's right.
**[05:57] ---**
If I had really wanted to,
I could have gravely wounded you.
**[06:03] ---**
But instead,
I chose to only break your mask.
**[06:08] ---**
Firstly, I couldn't afford
to expend all of my energy back there.
**[06:13] ---**
Secondly, I wanted your anger
directed at me alone.
**[06:21] ---**
This situation is exactly what I wanted.
**[06:25] ---**
I can stay here
fighting you for eternity...
**[06:31] ---**
so long as Dai and the others
defeat Vearn in the meantime!
**[06:36] ---**
Besides,
**[06:37] ---**
I've already told my intentions
to my successor, who will lead them.
**[06:44] ---**
Your successor?
**[06:49] ---**
The only one who can rally everyone
and truly make them a party of justice...
**[06:56] ---**
*is you.*
**[06:58] ---**
*I leave it to you...*
**[07:03] ---**
*Princess Leona!*
**[07:09] ---**
Everyone listen!
**[07:11] ---**
Master gave me his Feathers
knowing this might happen.
**[07:17] ---**
In order to lead
the Disciples of Avan to victory...
**[07:21] ---**
In the name of the great Hero Avan,
and justice for the surface world...
**[07:26] ---**
I, Princess Leona, now command all of you!
**[07:31] ---**
All of you must fight for the Hero!
**[07:38] ---**
*All of you must fight for the Hero.*
**[07:44] ---**
Huh?
**[07:46] ---**
What do you mean by that?
**[07:48] ---**
Listen, Princess.
**[07:50] ---**
From this moment forth,
**[07:52] ---**
everything rests on getting Dai
to Vearn in the best shape possible.
**[08:00] ---**
Our party must focus all of our efforts
on this single cause.
**[08:06] ---**
The Dark King likely has power
beyond our imagination.
**[08:10] ---**
The strike from the Hero's blade
is our greatest weapon against him.
**[08:16] ---**
When I faced the Dark Lord Hadlar,
**[08:20] ---**
my friends did everything they could
to get me to the Dark Lord's chambers.
**[08:29] ---**
*Forget about me and just go, Avan!*
**[08:31] ---**
*Sir Avan, good luck to you!*
**[08:34] ---**
*Just get to the Dark Lord already!*
**[08:40] ---**
My disciples all have kind hearts.
**[08:44] ---**
It's a wonderful quality.
But war can be cruel.
**[08:49] ---**
At times, we must wipe aside our tears
and focus on achieving victory.
**[08:57] ---**
In these times, you must
keep everyone moving, Princess.
**[09:02] ---**
I believe you're the only one
with such strength.
**[09:07] ---**
Only... me?
**[09:10] ---**
You have a firm belief in justice.
**[09:14] ---**
And, as a ruler, you already have
what it takes to lead.
**[09:20] ---**
Even if at times
it means you will draw ire,
**[09:23] ---**
you will do what must be done
to lead the people down the right path.
**[09:28] ---**
I believe you are quite brave.
**[09:32] ---**
That's why I want you
to have those Feathers.
**[09:35] ---**
If some powerful enemy
should attack the others,
**[09:39] ---**
I will face that foe just as Hyunckel did.
**[09:44] ---**
After that, you must lead the others.
**[09:48] ---**
I want you to have those Feathers,
as proof of my faith in you.
**[09:56] ---**
Thank goodness.
**[09:58] ---**
I...
**[09:59] ---**
I thought you were planning
to sacrifice yourself for Dai again.
**[10:06] ---**
Well...
**[10:09] ---**
Of course not!
**[10:10] ---**
I merely brought you with me
so we could talk in private.
**[10:15] ---**
I'm not looking forward to dying twice.
**[10:19] ---**
Besides, I only gave you
half of my Feathers.
**[10:22] ---**
Just half the bunch, for whatever happens.
**[10:29] ---**
I apologize for worrying you.
**[10:32] ---**
Obviously, there is always
the risk of death.
**[10:35] ---**
However... I don't intend to die in vain!
**[10:39] ---**
If I'm going to risk my life to fight,
it will be "for the Hero."
**[10:45] ---**
Right?
**[10:50] ---**
Come! Let's hurry forth!
**[10:53] ---**
I'll teach you how to dispel
magical traps on the way.
**[10:57] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[11:01] ---**
That's right.
**[11:03] ---**
Master didn't give me these Feathers
to use as weapons!
**[11:07] ---**
He left them to me as beacons with which
to lead the disciples of justice!
**[11:13] ---**
Master fights on even now!
**[11:15] ---**
We must fight just as he does!
**[11:20] ---**
*Master is...*
**[11:22] ---**
*Everyone is... fighting for me?*
**[11:25] ---**
*Dad, Mom, and Uncle Matoriv...*
**[11:29] ---**
*They all worked together like that
to lead the Hero to victory.*
**[11:34] ---**
*If we want to call ourselves
the Hero's Party,*
**[11:38] ---**
*we have to do what they did.*
**[11:41] ---**
*Otherwise, what is Master
fighting for right now?!*
**[11:47] ---**
You can shout whatever you like.
**[11:53] ---**
Here I come!
**[12:06] ---**
Popp!
**[12:07] ---**
Princess!
**[12:08] ---**
I'll hold him off!
**[12:10] ---**
Popp!
**[12:12] ---**
I might be a little outclassed here,
but I'll do what I can!
**[12:16] ---**
I'm stubborn enough
to figure something out!
**[12:20] ---**
I may not be as good as Master or Mentor,
**[12:23] ---**
but I can at least do what Hyunckel did!
**[12:26] ---**
I've got my own reasons
for why I've got to!
**[12:33] ---**
Hey! Don't get the wrong idea, Popp!
**[12:36] ---**
Comparisons to Hyunckel
won't sway me to fall in love with you!
**[12:41] ---**
Maam!
**[12:42] ---**
Don't imitate others
and just show me what you're made of!
**[12:49] ---**
*Mystvearn can reflect spells
that come from straight ahead.*
**[12:53] ---**
*But if I have Maam
backing me up with her strength...*
**[12:57] ---**
Hmph! You're always
cutting me off at the knees.
**[13:07] ---**
There you go!
The two of us will handle this!
**[13:11] ---**
Princess and Gome, go on ahead with Dai!
**[13:16] ---**
Dai!
**[13:17] ---**
*Popp and Maam are fighting
so I can go ahead.*
**[13:22] ---**
*In that case...*
**[13:24] ---**
Okay! Let's go, Leona, Gomechan!
**[13:28] ---**
To Vearn!
**[13:50] ---**
KAGLIMMER
**[13:55] ---**
DARK PUPPETRY AURA HAND
**[14:01] ---**
Stop! Dai!
**[14:10] ---**
Are you sure?
**[14:12] ---**
That friendship nonsense of yours...
It could lead to their deaths.
**[14:22] ---**
Are you sure?
**[14:34] ---**
What are you waiting for?!
**[14:36] ---**
We fought together all this way
and you still can't trust us?!
**[14:40] ---**
Leona!
**[14:42] ---**
I'm sorry. I was too harsh.
**[14:47] ---**
Lead Dai for us, will you?
**[14:52] ---**
Dai!
**[14:55] ---**
Right!
**[14:58] ---**
You will stop running...
**[15:01] ---**
when you hear your friends' screams.
**[15:05] ---**
You won't go any further!
**[15:10] ---**
And now...
**[15:12] ---**
let's show him the combined strength
of the lovers to be, yeah?
**[15:18] ---**
Mmm... kiss!
**[15:20] ---**
Stop getting ahead of yourself!
Face forward!
**[15:24] ---**
It looks like Popp and Maam
have worked things out.
**[15:29] ---**
They should be okay.
**[15:34] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:36] ---**
*I wouldn't be worried
if they were facing a normal enemy.*
**[15:40] ---**
*But it's Mystvearn, the last great pillar!*
**[15:45] ---**
Listen up! Don't think
you'll be able to go after Dai!
**[15:50] ---**
So, how do we fight?
**[15:52] ---**
You distract him. I'll finish him!
**[15:57] ---**
Oh really?
**[15:59] ---**
I guess you don't really
believe in my strength.
**[16:03] ---**
That's not it.
**[16:05] ---**
I doubt he can reflect a Medroa spell.
**[16:08] ---**
But remember the Mirror of Shahal.
It's best to be careful.
**[16:14] ---**
More importantly...
**[16:15] ---**
my Refractor Fist
should be able to damage Mystvearn.
**[16:20] ---**
Your Refractor Fist?
**[16:23] ---**
*Inside Mystvearn's Shadow Raiment,*
**[16:25] ---**
*I don't know if it was human or Darkling,
but I saw a face like ours.*
**[16:32] ---**
That means he's not
an evil energy life form,
**[16:37] ---**
but a living being with a body!
**[16:40] ---**
I see!
**[16:42] ---**
So I'll keep him busy with my spells...
**[16:46] ---**
...and I'll tear off his Raiment
and hit him with my Refractor Fist!
**[16:50] ---**
Got it!
**[16:52] ---**
It's simple, but probably
the most effective attack!
**[16:56] ---**
Let's go with that!
**[16:59] ---**
You ignorant fools.
**[17:01] ---**
I could easily go after Dai,
**[17:04] ---**
but I said the White Garden
would be your grave.
**[17:08] ---**
It would be rude to change locations.
**[17:11] ---**
I'll get Dai to return here...
**[17:14] ---**
by using your deaths as bait.
**[17:18] ---**
Don't make us laugh!
**[17:20] ---**
Underestimate us and you'll regret it!
**[17:23] ---**
You may be one of the strongest
from the Dark Army, but you won't...
**[17:28] ---**
"...win so easily. We'll hold out."
**[17:32] ---**
Is that it?
**[17:37] ---**
You're the ones making me laugh.
**[17:40] ---**
Maybe someone
of Lon Beruk's ability could succeed.
**[17:43] ---**
But you two will barely
serve as a distraction.
**[17:47] ---**
Here is my prediction.
**[17:49] ---**
I will kill you two
without taking a single step.
**[17:54] ---**
That will stop Dai's progress,
forcing him to come back here.
**[18:01] ---**
Why you...!
**[18:02] ---**
Don't assume everything will go...
**[18:07] ---**
according to your plan!
**[18:10] ---**
Dark Puppetry Aura Hand!
**[18:24] ---**
I'm getting tired of your parlor tricks!
**[18:27] ---**
It's not an issue
if you know how it works!
**[18:31] ---**
Take this!
**[18:35] ---**
Bang!
**[18:43] ---**
What paltry spells.
**[18:45] ---**
Hardly worth absorbing and reflecting.
**[18:50] ---**
Yeah! I'm sure they aren't!
**[18:52] ---**
I'm using a weaker spell to keep you busy!
**[19:10] ---**
Now's your chance, Maam!
**[19:19] ---**
Refractor...
**[19:21] ---**
Fist!
**[19:32] ---**
Did it work?!
**[19:41] ---**
But...
**[19:48] ---**
Maam!
**[19:56] ---**
Popp! Maam!
**[20:03] ---**
*There's no way my Refractor Fist*
**[20:05] ---**
*wouldn't work on something
with a physical body!*
**[20:14] ---**
*He's squeezing us to death!*
**[20:17] ---**
Popp!
**[20:20] ---**
Forget about us! Get to Vearn!
**[20:25] ---**
Go!
**[20:30] ---**
*Oh no! He was letting up just enough
so we could call out!*
**[20:36] ---**
*So that Dai would hear us!*
**[20:44] ---**
*But once Dai comes back, he'll kill us!*
**[20:49] ---**
*There's no point in coming to save us!*
**[20:54] ---**
My prediction came true.
**[20:58] ---**
Dammit!
**[21:01] ---**
Don't come!
I'm begging you not to come back!
**[21:45] ---**
*Hyunckel!*
**[21:47] ---**
*He... He managed to survive!*
**[21:52] ---**
*No! It's...!*
**[22:11] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:11] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:20] ---**
*I gaze at you from behind
as you begin to walk away*
**[22:20] ---**
*arukidasu kimi no ushirosugata wo nagameru*
**[22:30] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:30] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:39] ---**
*We act tough and follow our hearts*
**[22:39] ---**
*massugu de tsuyogari na sonna bokura ga*
**[22:45] ---**
*And we began this tale together*
**[22:45] ---**

**[22:50] ---**
*Beyond the horizon something glimmers*
**[22:50] ---**

*We've been seeking something certain*

*In the distant sky, dancing in the wind*
**[23:04] ---**

**[23:09] ---**
*The birds sing as though
illuminating the future*
**[23:09] ---**
*tobu tori wa naiteita mirai wo terasuyouni*
**[23:15] ---**
*The promise that connects us
The adventure we share*

*Everyone must fight for the Hero.*
**[23:36] ---**
*Leona's command
brings the heroes together,*
**[23:39] ---**
*only for them to fall into peril
facing Mystvearn.*
**[23:42] ---**
*Larhart appears, donning the Dark Armour
Spear, and rescues Popp and Maam.*
**[23:47] ---**
*Larhart tells of his promise to Baran*
**[23:51] ---**
*and Dai learns of his father's intentions.*

BARAN'S LAST WILL
**[02:03] ---**
Ah, Hyunckel!
**[02:05] ---**
Looks like you're awake!
**[02:09] ---**
Hym... Everyone...
**[02:11] ---**
What happened...?
**[02:13] ---**
You scared us
when you became unresponsive.
**[02:16] ---**
If this weirdo hadn't come,
you might have never woken up.
**[02:21] ---**
Mr. Beast kept casting
Heal-type spells on you!
**[02:28] ---**
I see.
**[02:29] ---**
So I managed to survive again.
**[02:34] ---**
This guy helped me out, too.
**[02:38] ---**
It felt weird to have my body
get fixed by a Heal-type spell.
**[02:43] ---**
But I'm back in action!
**[02:45] ---**
You now have the body
of a living organism.
**[02:48] ---**
Basically, similar to a Metal Slime
or a Metal King Slime.
**[02:53] ---**
That's why a Heal spell works.
**[02:57] ---**
So I'm like those creatures?
**[02:59] ---**
You, however, will never fully recover.
**[03:06] ---**
What?!
**[03:08] ---**
Due to the heavy damage
from repeated battles,
**[03:12] ---**
your bones have suffered
irreparable damage.
**[03:16] ---**
You can probably walk upright,
**[03:20] ---**
but you'll never fight again.
**[03:23] ---**
I thought as much.
**[03:25] ---**
You're dressed funny,
but you're no ordinary stranger.
**[03:29] ---**
No, no. I'm just a member
of the Beast King Commandos.
**[03:34] ---**
But it doesn't matter.
**[03:37] ---**
I've gained something wonderful in return.
**[03:41] ---**
A new friend.
**[03:43] ---**
*That's right. His wounds
were all because of me!*
**[03:49] ---**
Crocodine.
**[03:50] ---**
Hm?
**[03:51] ---**
I know I'll just be a burden...
**[03:54] ---**
but could you take me inside that castle
where Dai and the others are fighting?
**[03:59] ---**
What?!
**[04:00] ---**
You should return to Queen Flora!
**[04:03] ---**
I gave everything for this battle.
I have to see it through.
**[04:08] ---**
*When Dai's blade strikes down Vearn...*
**[04:12] ---**
I want to see it.
**[04:17] ---**
Very well then. I'll lend you my shoulder.
**[04:21] ---**
Even if I refuse,
you'll crawl there yourself, won't you?
**[04:24] ---**
Let's go together.
**[04:26] ---**
If need be, I'll be a shield
to protect you!
**[04:33] ---**
Hym?
**[04:34] ---**
You can use my shoulder.
**[04:36] ---**
Until the day you're fully healed
and we can settle things again,
**[04:42] ---**
I can't have you going and dying on me.
**[04:45] ---**
For now, I'll take care of
all the enemies you were supposed to.
**[04:53] ---**
*I see. So Hym is his new friend.*
**[04:58] ---**
Well said!
**[05:00] ---**
You were an enemy once,
but you're a monster with noble spirit!
**[05:04] ---**
I like you!
**[05:06] ---**
You can join my Beast King Commandos!
**[05:10] ---**
What?! What is this shrimp babbling about?
**[05:13] ---**
I'm not a shrimp! Call me "Captain!"
**[05:18] ---**
You better listen to what he says.
**[05:20] ---**
He's someone we've all learned to respect.
**[05:24] ---**
Seriously?
**[05:25] ---**
Pretty much.
**[05:26] ---**
Let's see... I don't have a badge, so...
**[05:31] ---**
this will have to do.
**[05:35] ---**
What is this?! It won't come off!
**[05:37] ---**
Of course. It's a Magic Brush.
**[05:39] ---**
You little...!
**[05:40] ---**
Not "you little!" Say "Captain!"
**[05:42] ---**
I never became
your follower, you little...!
**[05:46] ---**
Not "you little"! Say "Captain"!
**[05:48] ---**
*Has he reached the others yet?*
**[05:52] ---**
*He should be the greatest help
that they could hope for.*
**[05:58] ---**
*Land Rider Larhart.*
**[06:09] ---**
*So this is... Larhart.*
**[06:12] ---**
You bear a resemblance to your father.
**[06:15] ---**
How did you come back from the dead?!
**[06:18] ---**
More importantly, why are you wearing
the Dark Armour Spear?!
**[06:22] ---**
This was originally mine.
**[06:24] ---**
Why should it matter if I use it?
**[06:27] ---**
That's not what I meant! Hyunckel...!
I'm asking what happened to him!!
**[06:32] ---**
He carried out his duty and used
all of his strength before falling.
**[06:39] ---**
Then...!
**[06:40] ---**
Don't worry. That man is immortal.
**[06:46] ---**
Oh come on! You scared us!
**[06:48] ---**
So you took on that armour
to fight in Hyunckel's place?
**[06:53] ---**
Why... Why are you fighting for us?
**[06:56] ---**
No. Not for all of you.
**[07:06] ---**
I, Larhart, fight for only you.
**[07:09] ---**
To pledge my undying allegiance to you,
the successor of the Dragon Knight,
**[07:15] ---**
I have come before you...
**[07:17] ---**
Master Dino.
**[07:19] ---**
What?! To me?!
**[07:21] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[07:22] ---**
So you want to be our ally?
**[07:24] ---**
Not your ally. Your follower.
**[07:27] ---**
Follower?!
**[07:28] ---**
Tell me to die, and I shall do so gladly.
**[07:31] ---**
Tell me to fight, and I will face
even the gods.
**[07:35] ---**
You may use me as you see fit
to make the world you desire.
**[07:41] ---**
What now? He's my follower.
**[07:43] ---**
Hmm...
**[07:52] ---**
Mystvearn!
**[07:54] ---**
Oh?
**[07:55] ---**
You survived a hit from my Sunder Claw.
**[07:58] ---**
Not bad Mystvearn,
the heavyweight of the Dark Army.
**[08:01] ---**
Why you...!
**[08:04] ---**
Come, Master Dino.
**[08:07] ---**
Feel free to give me your first command.
**[08:11] ---**
Tell me to defeat him.
**[08:15] ---**
You shall pay!
**[08:17] ---**
A disgraced survivor of the Dragon Masters
**[08:20] ---**
would betray us and bare his fangs
against me? What a joke!
**[08:25] ---**
I'll tear you to shreds!
**[08:27] ---**
Just to be clear, the Dragon Masters
were never part of the Dark Army.
**[08:32] ---**
*We were direct servants
of the Dragon Knight.*
**[08:36] ---**
*The three Dragon Masters
of the land, sea, and sky!*
**[08:40] ---**
We never once fought for the Dark Army!
**[08:43] ---**
We fought for Master Baran
and Master Baran alone!
**[08:47] ---**
To say we betrayed you is the true joke!
**[08:51] ---**
Go, Master Dino. Quickly!
**[08:53] ---**
But Mystvearn is powerful!
**[08:55] ---**
I should fight, too!
**[08:59] ---**
Huh? Hey!
**[09:05] ---**
Larhart!
**[09:06] ---**
You idiot! You're unarmed!
**[09:08] ---**
What's this?
**[09:10] ---**
This "tear you to shreds" talk,
how do you intend to do it?
**[09:13] ---**
You fool!
**[09:15] ---**
Like this!
**[09:19] ---**
Look out!
**[09:23] ---**
Huh?!
**[09:24] ---**
What?!
**[09:31] ---**
Satisfied?
**[09:34] ---**
Why worry about someone who can't be hit?
**[09:38] ---**
B-But...
**[09:40] ---**
What just happened there?
**[09:43] ---**
An afterimage.
**[09:44] ---**
Huh?
**[09:45] ---**
What we saw being pierced
**[09:47] ---**
was the shadow Larhart left
after moving at high speed.
**[09:50] ---**
In other words, an afterimage.
**[09:52] ---**
Even so, he's still
not even using his full strength.
**[09:57] ---**
He's a monster.
**[09:59] ---**
How the hell did Hyunckel ever beat him?!
**[10:04] ---**
*He's strong.*
**[10:06] ---**
*He could even be
on the level of Lon Beruk.*
**[10:17] ---**
SUNDER CLAW
**[10:22] ---**
GIGA STRASH
**[10:27] ---**
Master Dino.
**[10:29] ---**
Your mission should be to defeat
King Vearn for the surface world humans.
**[10:36] ---**
You must head straight
toward that goal without wavering.
**[10:40] ---**
I am willing to give my life for that.
**[10:43] ---**
That was the wish your father,
Master Baran, left in his last will.
**[10:48] ---**
Dad's will?!
**[10:50] ---**
When I was resurrected from death
by Master Baran's Dragon Blood...
**[11:06] ---**
*there was a letter
that had been left inside my coffin.*
**[11:12] ---**
*It was Master Baran's last will,
which he left to me.*
**[11:17] ---**
"I've given all of you Dragon Blood,
but I doubt the others will make it."
**[11:22] ---**
"The chances are slim,
but if you should somehow be resurrected,
**[11:28] ---**
I would like you to help Dino
as though you were helping me."
**[11:33] ---**
"By that time, I believe
either the Dark King or Dino himself
**[11:38] ---**
will have struck me down
and I shall be no more."
**[11:43] ---**
Master Baran was already prepared
to sacrifice himself for you.
**[11:51] ---**
Dad...
**[11:54] ---**
*Larhart.*
**[11:57] ---**
*I raised you from a young age.*
**[12:02] ---**
*I know that you feel
strong hatred for the humans.*
**[12:06] ---**
*And yet, knowing that, I still ask you...*
**[12:09] ---**
*Should Dino say
he wishes to protect the humans,*
**[12:14] ---**
*would you please accept and obey him?*
**[12:18] ---**
*I believe that child has the power
to change humanity itself.*
**[12:25] ---**
*This is my final request,
but the decision is yours.*
**[12:31] ---**
*To my other son, Larhart.*
**[13:07] ---**
He was... like a father to me.
**[13:11] ---**
Thank you.
**[13:13] ---**
Larhart, you loved my father, too. Deeply.
**[13:19] ---**
Master Dino...
**[13:21] ---**
All right then. I'll give you an order.
**[13:24] ---**
Help Popp and Maam and defeat Mystvearn!
**[13:27] ---**
-Yes, sir!
-And...
**[13:30] ---**
I have another request.
**[13:33] ---**
Please... don't call me Dino anymore.
**[13:37] ---**
Hearing that name is painful.
It makes me remember Dad.
**[13:44] ---**
I understand, Master Dai, the Hero!
**[13:49] ---**
Let's go, Leona, Gomechan!
**[13:51] ---**
Right!
**[13:52] ---**
Popp! Maam!
**[13:53] ---**
This time, I'm really
leaving things to you!
**[13:56] ---**
I'm going to defeat Vearn!
**[13:59] ---**
Yeah! That's the spirit!
**[14:01] ---**
We won't mess up again!
Relax and go on ahead!
**[14:04] ---**
I certainly hope so.
**[14:08] ---**
I'll give the orders!
You two, don't get in my way!
**[14:12] ---**
Oh no! Not another one
of these personalities!
**[14:15] ---**
But he's a promising rescuer!
This might just work out!
**[14:21] ---**
*I may actually
have to consider the possibility...*
**[14:26] ---**
*of fighting at full strength.*
**[14:31] ---**
*My true enemy lies ahead!*
**[14:34] ---**
*And to reach him, everyone...*
**[14:37] ---**
*They've all been wounded...
putting everything on the line...*
**[14:42] ---**
*so that they could leave me with my power!*
**[14:45] ---**
*All of it!*
**[14:47] ---**
*And now I'm going to hit
Dark King Vearn with it!*
**[14:51] ---**
*No matter how powerful an enemy he is!*
**[14:56] ---**
There it is!
**[15:08] ---**
So this is... the Tower of Supremacy!
**[15:11] ---**
*That's right.*
**[15:14] ---**
Hurry on up, Dai.
**[15:18] ---**
I've just run out of wine.
**[15:22] ---**
That voice! It's Dark King...
**[15:24] ---**
...Vearn!
**[15:26] ---**
I won't say anything haughty like,
"Well done coming this far."
**[15:32] ---**
Your growth and your numerous rescuers...
**[15:37] ---**
all of it surpassed my expectations.
**[15:41] ---**
*Both Mystvearn and Killvearn*
**[15:44] ---**
*are being held off
by your friends at the moment.*
**[15:49] ---**
*I have been left with no one.*
**[15:53] ---**
*Dai.*
**[15:54] ---**
*I welcome you as
an unprecedented challenger.*
**[15:58] ---**
Climb the stairs of the Tower
of Supremacy and come before me.
**[16:05] ---**
I will give you a fitting welcome.
**[16:11] ---**
Those are the stairs.
**[16:13] ---**
Leona, Gomechan, be careful from here.
**[16:26] ---**
*Oh? So you're not alone, Dai.*
**[16:31] ---**
*That woman... She's the princess
of Papnica Kingdom.*
**[16:38] ---**
*Well, you can come with whoever you want.*
**[16:43] ---**
*But it seems that Dragon Knights have
a habit of bringing misfortune to women.*
**[16:52] ---**
*Not that it matters, I suppose.*
**[16:57] ---**
Dai!
**[17:08] ---**
What are you waiting for, Dai?
**[17:13] ---**
Leona, take this knife back.
**[17:16] ---**
Huh?!
**[17:16] ---**
This knife you gave me, it's the last one
of the Papnica royal family, isn't it?
**[17:23] ---**
That's why I wanted...
**[17:24] ---**
What's wrong with you
all of a sudden, Dai?!
**[17:27] ---**
Don't listen to what Vearn says!
**[17:30] ---**
He's just toying with you
before the battle!
**[17:35] ---**
I know he is.
**[17:37] ---**
Then why...?
**[17:39] ---**
I'm not doing this
because I'm saying goodbye.
**[17:43] ---**
Just the opposite.
**[17:44] ---**
*The opposite?*
**[17:46] ---**
Right now, aside from Master's Feathers,
you're basically unarmed.
**[17:52] ---**
I'll be using my Draconic Aura at
full strength, so I can't use this knife.
**[17:58] ---**
So, if you carry it,
at least you'll have a weapon, right?
**[18:04] ---**
So you're saying
I should look after myself?
**[18:07] ---**
This is Vearn we're fighting.
**[18:09] ---**
There's no guarantee I can win alone
or even protect you.
**[18:13] ---**
That's why...
**[18:15] ---**
I want you to fight with me!
**[18:17] ---**
If you're going to face danger,
do it with me!
**[18:25] ---**
-Sorry. That's asking too much.
-That's not it!
**[18:32] ---**
That's not it.
**[18:33] ---**
I'm glad.
**[18:49] ---**
This is kind of like
the first time we met.
**[18:56] ---**
Back then, I attached the knife to you.
**[19:00] ---**
And wasn't it the three of us
back on Dermline Island?
**[19:04] ---**
Me and you and Gomechan!
**[19:14] ---**
You struggled against one Scorpion,
yet now you're fighting the Dark King.
**[19:21] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:22] ---**
My heart was seriously pounding back then.
**[19:25] ---**
We were just going to a cave on my island,
but it felt like my chest would explode.
**[19:31] ---**
How about now? Is your heart pounding?
**[19:34] ---**
I'm not sure.
**[19:36] ---**
My heart's pounding...
**[19:38] ---**
but it's different from back then.
**[19:43] ---**
My heart isn't dancing.
It's more like it feels tight.
**[19:52] ---**
It's not like it was back then.
**[19:56] ---**
*Dai isn't just an adventurous
young boy anymore.*
**[20:01] ---**
*He's still tiny, but he's a Hero
carrying the hopes of all humans.*
**[20:07] ---**
*He must be feeling
tremendous pressure on his shoulders.*
**[20:11] ---**
*I have to help him.*
**[20:14] ---**
*No. Even if I can't help,
I have to ease his burden any way I can.*
**[20:21] ---**
*So that someday Dai can travel the world
with a light heart once again!*
**[20:45] ---**
Leona!
**[20:48] ---**
Dai!
**[20:51] ---**
Leona!
**[20:56] ---**
*Hm?*
**[20:57] ---**
*This is an unexpected turn of events.*
**[21:01] ---**
*I never expected it to act on its own.*
**[21:06] ---**
*But, if they were attacked, then they...*
**[21:11] ---**
*What was that?! What just grabbed Leona?!*
**[21:14] ---**
*Was that Vearn's doing?!*
**[21:24] ---**
This is...!
**[21:25] ---**
Dai!
**[21:30] ---**
Help me, Dai!
**[21:32] ---**
Leona!
**[21:52] ---**
What is that?!
**[21:57] ---**
Is it alive?!
**[22:11] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:11] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:20] ---**
*I gaze at you from behind
as you begin to walk away*
**[22:20] ---**
*arukidasu kimi no ushirosugata wo nagameru*
**[22:30] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:30] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:39] ---**
*We act tough and follow our hearts*
**[22:39] ---**
*massugu de tsuyogari na sonna bokura ga*
**[22:45] ---**
*And we began this tale together*
**[22:45] ---**
*hajimeta monogatari*
**[22:50] ---**
*Beyond the horizon something glimmers*
**[22:50] ---**
*chiheisen no mukou de kirameiteiru*
**[22:56] ---**
*We've been seeking something certain*
**[22:56] ---**
*tashika na mono sagashitsuzukete iruno*
**[23:03] ---**
*In the distant sky, dancing in the wind*
**[23:03] ---**
*haruka sora ni kaze ni nori matte*
**[23:09] ---**
*The birds sing as though
illuminating the future*
**[23:09] ---**
*tobu tori wa naiteita mirai wo terasuyouni*
**[23:15] ---**
*The promise that connects us
The adventure we share*
**[23:15] ---**
*bokura wo tsunagu yakusoku to

**[23:20] ---**
*Again in this world*
**[23:20] ---**
*mata kono sekai de*
**[23:33] ---**
*Dai and Leona race up the Tower
of Supremacy to face Dark King Vearn.*
**[23:38] ---**
*But Leona is suddenly attacked
by mysterious tentacles.*
**[23:42] ---**
*Dai follows after, only to reach
the heart of Vearn Palace.*
**[23:46] ---**
*There he finds something
even Vearn wasn't expecting.*
**[23:50] ---**
*What will happen to Dai and Leona?*
**[23:53] ---**
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,*

RISE, KNIGHT OF DESTINY
**[01:50] ---**
What is that?!
**[01:54] ---**
Is it alive?!
**[02:00] ---**
Darn it!
**[02:08] ---**
Stop!
**[02:09] ---**
Stop it! Hey! What's with you?!
**[02:16] ---**
Stop it! Please!
**[02:19] ---**
Hey!
**[02:22] ---**
Wh-Who the heck are you?!
**[02:25] ---**
I'm Dai! Who are you?!
**[02:27] ---**
Dai?! You're Dai?!
**[02:32] ---**
Answer me! Who are you?!
What is that thing?!
**[02:36] ---**
Why did it capture Leona?!
**[02:40] ---**
I-I can't answer all that at once!
**[02:50] ---**
I'm Goroa, the Drumbler.
**[02:52] ---**
I oversee the heart of Vearn Palace.
**[02:57] ---**
You fly Vearn Palace from here?
**[03:02] ---**
Then what is this monster?!
Why did it take Leona?!
**[03:06] ---**
That's not a monster.
**[03:08] ---**
It's true that it's based on an organism,
**[03:12] ---**
but it's a Dark Force Reactor
that's half machine.
**[03:17] ---**
Wait. That controls Vearn Palace?
**[03:20] ---**
That's right.
**[03:22] ---**
The Dark Force Reactor
is the heart that drives Vearn Palace.
**[03:27] ---**
*The Dark Force Reactor
draws on my Magic Power*
**[03:32] ---**
*and transmits it
across all of Vearn Palace.*
**[03:36] ---**
*It's a living engine. But...*
**[03:40] ---**
thanks to that spell
the girl cast, Kaglimmer,
**[03:44] ---**
it has lost the ability
to draw on my Magic Power.
**[03:50] ---**
Starved for Magic Power,
it's gone berserk.
**[03:55] ---**
That's why the Dark Force Reactor extended
its tentacles to search for Magic Power.
**[04:02] ---**
So it went after Leona
because of her high Magic Power?
**[04:07] ---**
*But... me and Popp are also here.*
**[04:12] ---**
*That's it! Master Avan's Feathers!*
**[04:16] ---**
*With Master Avan gone, Leona currently
holds the greatest source of Magic Power!*
**[04:24] ---**
Leona! That thing is drawn
to the Magic Power
**[04:27] ---**
of the Feathers Master gave you!
**[04:30] ---**
Try to drop all the Feathers!
**[04:33] ---**
I can't! I can't move!
**[04:44] ---**
Darn it! I'll have to destroy it!
**[04:47] ---**
If you do that, King Vearn will punish me!
**[04:51] ---**
Then you stop that thing!
**[04:53] ---**
I'm trying to!
**[04:55] ---**
In order to control
the Dark Force Reactor,
**[05:00] ---**
King Vearn gave me the power
to control super gravity!
**[05:05] ---**
I'm using it as we speak!
**[05:08] ---**
But it's not stopping at all!
**[05:10] ---**
That shows how wildly
the Dark Force Reactor's rampaging!
**[05:14] ---**
If I stop the Gravity Pulse
from my belly, it's over!
**[05:19] ---**
That girl will be eaten
by the Dark Force Reactor and die!
**[05:24] ---**
Normally, any creature caught by
those tentacles would be absorbed!
**[05:31] ---**
Really, you should be thanking me!
**[05:36] ---**
Forget it! I'll do it!
**[05:45] ---**
Dai!
**[05:46] ---**
What was that?!
It's like an invisible wall!
**[05:50] ---**
Out of the way!
**[05:55] ---**
*He seems to be incredibly strong.*
**[05:58] ---**
*At this rate, he'll destroy
the Dark Force Reactor.*
**[06:01] ---**
*If that happens,
King Vearn is sure to execute me!*
**[06:06] ---**
*I know...*
**[06:14] ---**
*It's no good! Nothing's working!*
**[06:17] ---**
*In that case,
there's some risk to Leona...*
**[06:23] ---**
but I'll have to cut it in two
with an Avan Strash!
**[06:26] ---**
Leona!
**[06:28] ---**
I'll get you out of there!
**[06:30] ---**
Avan...!
**[06:41] ---**
What's going on?!
**[06:43] ---**
I feel so heavy!
**[06:46] ---**
Sorry, but I hit you with a Gravity Pulse.
**[06:52] ---**
Now that I think about it,
I'm under no obligation to help that girl.
**[06:57] ---**
If I can kill the Hero,
I'll be rewarded for my achievement!
**[07:02] ---**
It's my chance to get out of
life in the bilge!
**[07:06] ---**
*Oh no! If he's directing
his Gravity Pulse at me...!*
**[07:14] ---**
Dai!
**[07:15] ---**
Leona!
**[07:22] ---**
Leona!
**[07:28] ---**
Darn it!
**[07:32] ---**
You're quite powerful. But...
**[07:39] ---**
I was tasked with holding
that giant Dark Force Reactor in check.
**[07:45] ---**
Your power can't beat mine!
**[07:49] ---**
Darn it!
**[07:51] ---**
*That said, how am I supposed to
finish him of?*
**[08:00] ---**
Ah, that's it!
**[08:02] ---**
Darn it! Get up! Get up!
**[08:07] ---**
Hurry or Leona will be... Leona will be...
**[08:12] ---**
It's too late!
**[08:15] ---**
It'll only take a few more seconds
for her to be absorbed and die!
**[08:21] ---**
And if I stab you with this sword,
not even you can survive!
**[08:27] ---**
If I defeat the Hero,
King Vearn will commend me!
**[08:33] ---**
I can do things if I set my mind to them!
**[08:39] ---**
To be killed by a little grunt like Goroa
**[08:43] ---**
only moments before the final battle...
**[08:47] ---**
For a Hero,
that's a rather pathetic ending.
**[08:52] ---**
No.
**[08:54] ---**
It's not over until it's over.
**[08:57] ---**
And now, with this...
**[09:00] ---**
it's over for you!
**[09:13] ---**
You're still trying to resist?!
**[09:16] ---**
Just sit still and die already!
**[09:21] ---**
Darn it!
**[09:29] ---**
*Darn it.. Dragon Crest...*
**[09:34] ---**
*Is this... Is this really...*
**[09:37] ---**
*all the strength that I have?!*
**[09:41] ---**
*Even while I'm using
all that I have within me?!*
**[09:46] ---**
Is this all a Dragon Knight can do?!
**[09:51] ---**
Are Dragon Knights... really this weak?!
**[09:57] ---**
I want to protect someone I care about!
**[10:02] ---**
Don't I have the power to do that?!
**[10:07] ---**
Tears of frustration.
But it's not your fault.
**[10:12] ---**
I just happened to be smarter!
**[10:14] ---**
Now die by your own sword!
**[10:18] ---**
Goodbye!
**[10:29] ---**
Huh?
**[10:38] ---**
Dad?!
**[10:49] ---**
This is...
**[10:51] ---**
when Mom died?!
**[10:55] ---**
Soala!
**[11:00] ---**
The life of a Dragon Knight
is one of unending battle.
**[11:08] ---**
Dad!
**[11:11] ---**
Caught in that bloody path...
**[11:15] ---**
it seems many a woman
has met a tragic ending.
**[11:20] ---**
Sadly, your mother was one of them.
**[11:26] ---**
But...
**[11:27] ---**
whatever the past may be, you are you.
**[11:32] ---**
By your hands...
**[11:34] ---**
see if you can end the sad fate
of the Dragon Knights, Dai!
**[11:41] ---**
Remember when you first rescued Leona!
**[11:45] ---**
You are no normal Dragon Knight!
**[11:49] ---**
You carry my soul.
You are a new Super Knight!
**[11:55] ---**
Stand! Stand up! Dai!
**[12:02] ---**
*Dad!*
**[12:06] ---**
*That's right!*
**[12:07] ---**
*The first time the power of my Crest awoke
was when I rescued Leona!*
**[12:13] ---**
*Draw it out!*
**[12:15] ---**
*That unknown power within me!
Just like back then!*
**[12:20] ---**
*My power and that of Dad's...*
**[12:26] ---**
are much more than this!
**[12:37] ---**
*What is that?!*
**[12:54] ---**
GIGA STRASH
**[12:59] ---**
GIGABREAK
**[13:02] ---**
Th-This is...!
**[13:13] ---**
Dragon Crests... on each fist?!
**[13:18] ---**
*The power in my left hand...*
**[13:21] ---**
*is Dad's!*
**[13:23] ---**
*I will be with you*
**[13:27] ---**
*in the battle ahead.*
**[13:30] ---**
*We shall always be together,*
**[13:34] ---**
*never to part again.*
**[13:36] ---**
*At that time,
the power of Dad's Crest entered me!*
**[13:41] ---**
*That why I saw Mom,
even though I've never met her!*
**[13:46] ---**
*It was Dad's soul reassuring me!*
**[13:50] ---**
*Inside me... all this time!*
**[13:54] ---**
*Dad was always there!*
**[13:59] ---**
I see. Baran's power.
**[14:03] ---**
Two Dragon Crests.
**[14:06] ---**
They are... Twin Dragon Crests!
**[14:11] ---**
Dammit!
**[14:23] ---**
My Gravity Pulse isn't working!
**[14:34] ---**
Crest Beam!
**[14:57] ---**
Even the Dark Force Reactor's barrier...!
**[16:42] ---**
The Twin Dragon Crests are a threat.
**[16:47] ---**
Ah, the fortune telling of a Reaper.
**[16:50] ---**
The predictions always come true
in a bad way.
**[16:56] ---**
Leona!
**[16:59] ---**
No...
**[17:01] ---**
Was I too late?!
**[17:14] ---**
Thank goodness!
**[17:17] ---**
She's okay!
**[17:22] ---**
Her clothes may be all torn up,
but she's completely unharmed.
**[17:31] ---**
Leona, wake up!
**[17:35] ---**
Dai...
**[17:39] ---**
I...
**[17:40] ---**
You're okay.
**[17:42] ---**
Goroa said that thing would absorb
your body, so I was really worried.
**[17:49] ---**
You took care of it, didn't you?
**[17:53] ---**
Thank you!
**[17:55] ---**
But my clothes are ruined.
**[17:58] ---**
And when I was first grabbed,
I felt really weak.
**[18:02] ---**
The Dark Force Reactor really does absorb
creatures for their Magic Power.
**[18:09] ---**
So how...?
**[18:10] ---**
I dunno.
**[18:15] ---**
Dai, could you turn around?
**[18:18] ---**
Huh? Why?
**[18:20] ---**
Just turn around!
**[18:21] ---**
R-Right!
**[18:26] ---**
Dai!
**[18:29] ---**
Huh?!
**[18:31] ---**
Gomechan shrunk?!
**[18:36] ---**
Gomechan was inside my clothes.
**[18:38] ---**
Inside your clothes?! Where inside?!
**[18:41] ---**
I-It doesn't matter where!
**[18:45] ---**
Gomechan must have protected me.
**[18:48] ---**
It could be that while I was inside
the Dark Force Reactor,
**[18:52] ---**
Gomechan was emitting
Magic Power the whole time.
**[18:56] ---**
That's what kept me from being absorbed.
**[19:00] ---**
That's what caused the shrinking?
**[19:04] ---**
But Gomechan's helped us
in numerous battles up to now.
**[19:10] ---**
Could Gomechan have some mysterious power?
**[19:13] ---**
*Healing Dai's stamina,*
**[19:16] ---**
*and allegedly calling Popp back
from the brink of death.*
**[19:20] ---**
*And with Chiu,
attacking with a hardened body.*
**[19:25] ---**
*As for me, emitting Magic Power.*
**[19:29] ---**
*Just what is Gomechan's true power?*
**[19:35] ---**
Let's forget it.
**[19:37] ---**
Let's not question
someone who saved our lives.
**[19:40] ---**
Besides, Gomechan
is kind of cute this small.
**[19:45] ---**
Let's just let Gomechan rest for now.
**[19:52] ---**
I said don't look!
**[19:55] ---**
I just wanted to make sure
I knew where Gomechan would be!
**[20:05] ---**
Goroa?!
**[20:07] ---**
You've left me with no choice!
**[20:11] ---**
I'm going to pour all of my Magic Power
into the Dark Force Reactor
**[20:15] ---**
and take you down with me!
**[20:18] ---**
Stop it! It won't work!
**[20:20] ---**
I don't have any other option!
**[20:22] ---**
I swear I'll destroy you!
**[20:26] ---**
*Enough.*
**[20:28] ---**
King Vearn?!
**[20:30] ---**
*That's enough.*
**[20:32] ---**
Even if the Dark Force Reactor is lost,
I will not hold you responsible.
**[20:38] ---**
*It seems that the great wheels of fate
have sided with the Hero.*
**[20:45] ---**
*If he had climbed
the Tower of Supremacy unchallenged,*
**[20:49] ---**
*Dai would have been no threat to me.*
**[20:53] ---**
There are other Dark Force Reactors
in the Underworld.
**[20:57] ---**
Don't provoke Dai any further!
**[21:02] ---**
It may be your order, King Vearn...
**[21:05] ---**
but I can't turn back now!
**[21:10] ---**
Leona, get back!
**[21:15] ---**
*Two Dragon Crests?!*
**[21:21] ---**
That stance!
**[21:24] ---**
I'm warning you!
**[21:25] ---**
This isn't just some ordinary spell!
**[21:29] ---**
It's my Dad's...
It's the Dragon Knight's...
**[21:33] ---**
greatest and strongest...
**[21:37] ---**
ace in the hole!
**[21:41] ---**
Doruora!
**[22:11] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:11] ---**

*We act tough and follow our hearts*

**[23:04] ---**
*In the distant sky, dancing in the wind*
**[23:04] ---**
*haruka sora ni kaze ni nori matte*
**[23:09] ---**
*The birds sing as though
illuminating the future*
**[23:09] ---**
*tobu tori wa naiteita mirai wo terasuyouni*
**[23:15] ---**
*The promise that connects us
The adventure we share*

**[23:20] ---**
*Again in this world*
**[23:20] ---**
*mata kono sekai de*
**[23:34] ---**
*The Doruora fired from the Twin Dragon
Crests obliterated the Dark Force Reactor.*
**[23:39] ---**
*At last Dai and Leona reach the top
of the Tower of Supremacy.*
**[23:43] ---**
*There awaits Dark King Vearn
brimming with deadly intent.*
**[23:48] ---**
*Dai's fears resurface
with his rematch against Vearn,*

VEARN, THE DARK KING
**[02:05] ---**
Sizzle!
**[02:19] ---**
What's that?!
**[02:39] ---**
Queen Flora, what was that?
**[02:47] ---**
It's stopped.
**[02:47] ---**
Huh?
**[02:48] ---**
Princess Leona's Kaglimmer spell
was holding it in check,
**[02:52] ---**
but the low rumbling
from Vearn Palace never stopped.
**[02:57] ---**
But now, it's completely stopped.
**[02:59] ---**
Then that means...!
**[03:01] ---**
Dai and the others must have destroyed
a central part of Vearn Palace.
**[03:06] ---**
Hooray!
**[03:08] ---**
They did it!
**[03:10] ---**
-Whoa!
-Yes!
**[03:11] ---**
That's the Hero's party!
**[03:14] ---**
We're not through yet.
**[03:16] ---**
That doesn't mean
the Dark King was defeated.
**[03:19] ---**
But Vearn Palace
has been left nonfunctional.
**[03:24] ---**
Our lands will no longer be attacked
by the Dark Army.
**[03:39] ---**
Seeing as it isn't falling...
**[03:41] ---**
Vearn Palace itself must be made of
material that floats.
**[03:46] ---**
It would seem so.
**[03:49] ---**
*No.*
**[03:50] ---**
*Rather than falling...
it looks like it's rising.*
**[03:56] ---**
*Very slowly.*
**[03:59] ---**
*Little by little.*
**[04:21] ---**
Dai...
**[04:23] ---**
Those Crests on your hands...
**[04:28] ---**
That's right, Leona.
**[04:30] ---**
He's alive!
**[04:34] ---**
Dad is still alive!
**[04:38] ---**
Here, in my left hand!
**[04:49] ---**
It wasn't just Master or Larhart
who helped me from beyond death!
**[04:56] ---**
Dad was...
**[04:58] ---**
Dad was right here!
**[05:03] ---**
Your father becoming a Crest and living on
inside you sounds too good to be true.
**[05:09] ---**
But I can believe it.
**[05:12] ---**
I mean, you seem so happy, Dai!
**[05:30] ---**
-He's that...!
-Goroa?!
**[05:34] ---**
He said he was Goroa, the Drumbler.
**[05:40] ---**
Oh, he tripped.
**[05:42] ---**
I think that drum monster
is what a Drumbler really is.
**[05:46] ---**
He said that Vearn gave him power.
**[05:50] ---**
But can Vearn really transform
such a small monster like that?
**[05:55] ---**
It wouldn't surprise me if he could.
**[05:58] ---**
His Magic Power is unfathomable.
**[06:04] ---**
Let's go! To the top of
the Tower of Supremacy!
**[06:09] ---**
But the stairs and everything
were blown away.
**[06:38] ---**
There's nothing here.
**[06:39] ---**
Look higher.
**[06:51] ---**
Kafrizz!
**[06:58] ---**
Take this!
**[07:01] ---**
The back of his head!
**[07:17] ---**
This guy's unbelievably tough!
**[07:21] ---**
He fought Lon Beruk, then me and Maam...
**[07:25] ---**
He's been fighting all day!
**[07:28] ---**
And yet he doesn't seem tired at all.
**[07:32] ---**
You're probably right.
**[07:34] ---**
I've hit him
with several mortal blows already.
**[07:38] ---**
Yet look.
**[07:40] ---**
It's my weapon that's damaged.
**[07:42] ---**
I can only assume he's taken no damage.
**[07:46] ---**
Exactly.
**[07:47] ---**
You can't be hit by attacks,
and I can't be damaged by them.
**[07:53] ---**
The fight seems balanced,
but the results are obvious.
**[07:58] ---**
*He's right. If we fight for too long...*
**[08:01] ---**
*...we'll get exhausted,
allowing Mystvearn to strike us and win.*
**[08:06] ---**
*We have to uncover the secret
to his invulnerability.*
**[08:10] ---**
*Not even my attacks
can kill him like this.*
**[08:14] ---**
*What now?*
**[08:40] ---**
This is the dome that was
on top of the Tower of Supremacy.
**[08:45] ---**
It looks like the castle above it
was blown away by your Doruora.
**[08:51] ---**
Doruora...
**[08:53] ---**
*It truly is a powerful spell.*
**[08:57] ---**
Do you think that
maybe it took out Vearn, too?
**[09:01] ---**
No. He might have taken
some damage from it.
**[09:05] ---**
But he's much stronger than that.
**[09:07] ---**
*Of course.*
**[09:12] ---**
Get back, Leona!
**[09:17] ---**
-Vearn!
-That's him?!
**[09:19] ---**
Congratulations in blowing away my castle.
**[09:24] ---**
There's no need to hold back any longer
if you're capable of doing that.
**[09:31] ---**
I shall erase you here.
**[09:35] ---**
*This is Vearn, the Dark King?!*
**[09:38] ---**
He's coming!
**[09:39] ---**
*Vearn's always been relaxed,
but now I sense open malice!*
**[09:45] ---**
*Vearn's coming at us at full strength!*
**[10:22] ---**
*I can't believe it.*
**[10:24] ---**
*Simply unleashing his Magic Power
creates this much force?!*
**[10:28] ---**
*This is Vearn at full power!*
**[10:34] ---**
*When he defeated me last time,
he was barely even trying!*
**[10:40] ---**
*Do I stand a chance against him?*
**[10:42] ---**
*I may have powered up with two Crests,
but my current strength...*
**[10:47] ---**
Dai.
**[10:48] ---**
Dai.
**[10:49] ---**
Let me guess what you're thinking.
**[10:53] ---**
"Can I really match him
with my two Crests?"
**[11:00] ---**
Twin Dragon Crests.
That is what I call them.
**[11:05] ---**
Twin Dragon Crests?
**[11:08] ---**
When a Dragon Knight's life ends,
**[11:11] ---**
their Crest is passed on to the new life
that resides inside the Mother Dragon.
**[11:19] ---**
The danger posed by a Dragon Knight
**[11:22] ---**
is largely due to the Combat Instincts
contained within the Crest.
**[11:28] ---**
*The Dragon Crest contains*
**[11:30] ---**
*the collective skill of Dragon Knights
accumulated over centuries.*
**[11:37] ---**
*And that is passed on to the next Knight.*
**[11:41] ---**
In other words,
**[11:42] ---**
Dragon Knights are born with
the battle skills of past Knights.
**[11:49] ---**
They're combat geniuses.
**[11:52] ---**
You are the son of Baran, a Dragon Knight.
**[11:56] ---**
You have your own Crest.
**[11:58] ---**
You have your own strength,
but you did not inherit the skills.
**[12:05] ---**
But now...
**[12:07] ---**
Baran's Crest
has been passed down properly.
**[12:11] ---**
It has given you super combat abilities,
**[12:15] ---**
completing the Twin Dragon Crests.
**[12:18] ---**
With your innate strength,
**[12:20] ---**
and the combat experience of past
Dragon Knights, a Super Knight was born.
**[12:26] ---**
In other words, Dai...
**[12:28] ---**
you are that Super Knight.
**[12:30] ---**
I can no longer predict your power.
**[12:35] ---**
You may surpass even the Dragonoid.
**[12:41] ---**
I, Dark King Vearn,
**[12:43] ---**
believe I have nothing to fear
in the Trio of Worlds.
**[12:47] ---**
But the unpredictable
cannot be underestimated.
**[12:53] ---**
Immediate annihilation!
That is my decision!
**[13:00] ---**
GIGA STRASH
**[13:05] ---**
KAISER PHOENIX
**[13:08] ---**
Immediate annihilation!
That is my decision!
**[13:19] ---**
-Leona, stay back for now!
-But...
**[13:23] ---**
Heed his warnings, Princess of Papnica.
**[13:27] ---**
To approach means death!
**[13:29] ---**
After all, nothing can be done
against this strike!
**[13:40] ---**
What's wrong?
**[13:42] ---**
Aren't you going to fight back?
**[13:44] ---**
*He's fast! And the impact's
way stronger than before!*
**[13:48] ---**
*But...*
**[13:49] ---**
Dai! What's wrong?! Fight back!
**[13:53] ---**
*I see. He must not be able to make
his first strike yet!*
**[13:58] ---**
*Vearn once broke his sword.*
**[14:01] ---**
*And his Doruora didn't affect him at all.*
**[14:06] ---**
*Dai's freezing up
and can't get a handle on how to fight.*
**[14:11] ---**
*H-How do I fight?*
**[14:13] ---**
*With my sword? Or with spells?*
**[14:15] ---**
Has fear taken you?
Disappointing, but convenient for me.
**[14:21] ---**
Now you die!
**[14:23] ---**
*-How do I fight?!*
-Dai!
**[14:25] ---**
You don't need to overthink it!
Just punch him!
**[14:52] ---**
I hit him!
**[14:54] ---**
He fell! The Dark King Vearn fell!
**[14:58] ---**
I managed to get in the first hit!
**[15:01] ---**
*That's right!
Overthinking will just hold me back!*
**[15:05] ---**
*I could never beat him
by fighting normally!*
**[15:08] ---**
*My only option's been to hit him
with my all and find an opening!*
**[15:15] ---**
*Leona was trying to tell me that!*
**[15:19] ---**
Leona! Thanks for the great advice!
**[15:22] ---**
But it's a little improper for a princess
to tell someone to punch somebody!
**[15:27] ---**
Oh come on!
I was trying to help you loosen up!
**[15:43] ---**
*I believed I had him... but I didn't.*
**[15:49] ---**
*Dai's movements...*
**[15:51] ---**
*His unpredictable movements...*
**[15:54] ---**
*I was right.*
**[15:56] ---**
*He's inherited the years of
Combat Instincts from the Dragon Knights!*
**[16:03] ---**
Dai!
**[16:04] ---**
I know! Just attack!
**[16:07] ---**
I'll hit him with everything!
All of my best attacks!
**[16:12] ---**
Come on, my sword!
**[16:21] ---**
Let's start with Earth Slash!
**[16:24] ---**
Little whelp! You underestimate me!
**[16:32] ---**
*It won't break?!*
**[16:33] ---**
It's working!
**[16:48] ---**
Earth Slash!
**[16:56] ---**
*That's amazing, Dai!
You're evenly matched with the Dark King!*
**[17:02] ---**
*It's working! I can fight!*
**[17:04] ---**
*My Draconic Aura, power, and speed...*
**[17:07] ---**
*They're all far beyond
what they were with one Crest!*
**[17:10] ---**
*I feel like my body isn't my own!*
**[17:14] ---**
*I knew he was this powerful.*
**[17:17] ---**
*Ever since he unleashed his Doruora.*
**[17:21] ---**
*It's likely that Dragon Knights
can only cast Doruora in Dragonoid form*
**[17:27] ---**
*because their normal forms can't
withstand the power.*
**[17:32] ---**
*That's why they have to transform
into the Dragonoid form to use the spell.*
**[17:38] ---**
*It's like a built-in safety function.*
**[17:44] ---**
*But he used it just as he is.*
**[17:47] ---**
*Dai's power is equal to
that of the Dragonoid, or even stronger.*
**[17:54] ---**
What I'm interested in
isn't that power on the surface!
**[17:58] ---**
This attack will reveal
what I want to know!
**[18:02] ---**
That stance!
**[18:03] ---**
Calamitous Wall!
**[18:10] ---**
*Unlike before, this is
my Calamitous Wall at full strength!*
**[18:15] ---**
*It's fast! I can't dodge it!*
**[18:18] ---**
Now what?!
**[18:24] ---**
*This is Aura!*
**[18:26] ---**
*It's something similar to Aura!*
**[18:28] ---**
*It's blasting upwards
while approaching at high speed!*
**[19:30] ---**
*He passed through it!*
**[19:33] ---**
*Through the force of the Calamitous Wall!*
**[19:37] ---**
These shocks...
King Vearn has engaged with Dai.
**[19:43] ---**
I suppose I should finish this.
**[19:46] ---**
Maam, heal Larhart before he tires out!
**[19:50] ---**
I hate to admit it, but he's the only one
who can match Mystvearn!
**[19:54] ---**
I'll buy time!
**[19:55] ---**
-Popp!
-Don't!
**[19:56] ---**
You don't seem to learn.
You're not strong enough to stop me!
**[20:06] ---**
Popp!
**[20:16] ---**
I think this is the second time
I've protected you like this.
**[20:21] ---**
-You?!
-He's a friend.
**[20:26] ---**
He overcame death and was reborn
as our new friend.
**[20:33] ---**
Hyunckel! You're all right!
Thank goodness!
**[20:38] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[20:40] ---**
It's okay. Don't worry.
**[20:42] ---**
You moron!
**[20:43] ---**
What... What do you mean, "Don't worry"?!
**[20:47] ---**
I was... I mean
we were worried sick about you!
**[20:52] ---**
If you go off on your own again,
I swear I'll kick your butt!
**[21:01] ---**
Forgive me, Popp.
**[21:02] ---**
But I doubt I'll need to do that again.
**[21:06] ---**
Backup is here
and our enemies are limited in number.
**[21:14] ---**
*Even if he withstood it
with his Draconic Aura...*
**[21:18] ---**
*he would have taken heavy damage
from the shockwave.*
**[21:23] ---**
*But...*
**[21:24] ---**
*by shielding himself with a Draconic Aura
similar in nature to my Calamitous Wall,*
**[21:30] ---**
*he passed through
without being affected by the shockwave.*
**[21:36] ---**
*Not only Dai himself,*
**[21:38] ---**
*but none of his friends have ever
shown such skill and inventiveness.*
**[21:45] ---**
*I'm sure of it.*
**[21:46] ---**
*The Combat Instincts passed down*
**[21:49] ---**
*among Dragon Knights
since the time of the gods*
**[21:53] ---**
*have begun to take root within him!*
**[22:11] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:11] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:20] ---**
*I gaze at you from behind
as you begin to walk away*
**[22:20] ---**
*arukidasu kimi no ushirosugata wo nagameru*
**[22:30] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:30] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:39] ---**
*We act tough and follow our hearts*
**[22:39] ---**
*massugu de tsuyogari na sonna bokura ga*
**[22:45] ---**
*And we began this tale together*
**[22:45] ---**
*hajimeta monogatari*
**[22:50] ---**
*Beyond the horizon something glimmers*
**[22:50] ---**
*chiheisen no mukou de kirameiteiru*
**[22:56] ---**
*We've been seeking something certain*
**[22:56] ---**
*tashika na mono sagashitsuzukete iruno*
**[23:03] ---**
*In the distant sky, dancing in the wind*
**[23:03] ---**
*haruka sora ni kaze ni nori matte*
**[23:09] ---**
*The birds sing as though
illuminating the future*
**[23:09] ---**
*tobu tori wa naiteita mirai wo terasuyouni*
**[23:15] ---**
*The promise that connects us
The adventure we share*
**[23:15] ---**
*bokura wo tsunagu yakusoku to
bokura de tsumugu bouken wo*
**[23:20] ---**
*Again in this world*
**[23:20] ---**
*mata kono sekai de*
**[23:33] ---**
*Dai thwarts Vearn's Calamitous Wall*
**[23:36] ---**
*and fights with skills
that rival or even surpass the Dark King.*
**[23:39] ---**

KILLVEARN'S TRAP
**[01:50] ---**
Calamitous Wall!
**[02:05] ---**
Dai's completely focused on the fight.
**[02:09] ---**
I guess that's a good thing.
**[02:12] ---**
But he's completely forgotten about me.
**[02:16] ---**
Not a bad idea.
**[02:18] ---**
No one has ever done that before.
**[02:21] ---**
To try to dodge my Calamitous Wall
by standing in its way.
**[02:27] ---**
I didn't think of it.
**[02:28] ---**
My body just reacted instantly.
**[02:32] ---**
I didn't even know I could use
my Draconic Aura that way.
**[02:38] ---**
*Come to think of it,
it's just like with my Doruora.*
**[02:42] ---**
*It's like I could just do it naturally.*
**[02:46] ---**
Oh no! Leona! Are you okay?!
**[02:49] ---**
Of course I am.
**[02:51] ---**
I promised you that
I'd take care of myself.
**[02:56] ---**
But you're out of breath...
**[02:58] ---**
Don't worry about me!
Just focus on the fight!
**[03:02] ---**
R-Right.
**[03:04] ---**
*But Dai can do this.*
**[03:07] ---**
*I was going to focus on healing him...*
**[03:10] ---**
*but I may not even have a role in this.*
**[03:14] ---**
I'm not sure about it,
but it looks like you're right, Vearn.
**[03:21] ---**
I feel something unimaginable
awakened inside me.
**[03:27] ---**
It's like when I first gained
the power of my Crest.
**[03:31] ---**
I think I might actually be able
to match you in battle.
**[03:50] ---**
You still don't understand, Dai.
**[03:54] ---**
Your strength nearly matches my own now.
**[03:59] ---**
How selfless.
**[04:02] ---**
To possess such power, and not think
what you should do with it.
**[04:08] ---**
Let me be blunt, Dai.
**[04:11] ---**
Your power can decide
the fate of the world.
**[04:17] ---**
Even I was ever wary of Baran.
**[04:21] ---**
He possessed the Combat Instincts.
**[04:25] ---**
An opponent who fights unpredictably
**[04:30] ---**
is someone I would rather not fight.
**[04:34] ---**
Besides, if someone is that powerful,
**[04:38] ---**
I hate to see it go to waste.
**[04:40] ---**
Go to... waste?
**[04:44] ---**
Dai, you are more powerful
than the Dragonoid Baran.
**[04:50] ---**
With the power of your second Crest,
**[04:53] ---**
you have gained
the Combat Instincts of all past Knights.
**[04:58] ---**
You are more powerful
than anyone I have ever met.
**[05:04] ---**
I could say you're the first
to ever get this close to my level.
**[05:10] ---**
Just to be sure, let me ask you...
**[05:16] ---**
will you be my servant?
**[05:20] ---**
That's... Why would...?!
**[05:24] ---**
The answer your father gave
to this question was "Yes."
**[05:30] ---**
Because he was a pure Dragon Knight,
**[05:34] ---**
Baran understood
just how ugly and foolish humans are.
**[05:40] ---**
Humans are disgusting, Dai.
**[05:43] ---**
They aren't worth lending your power to.
**[05:49] ---**
If you fight for them
and happen to win, then what?
**[05:55] ---**
Then what?
**[05:57] ---**
I would be willing to bet...
**[05:58] ---**
should you defeat me and return to
the humans, you will suffer persecution.
**[06:07] ---**
I'm scared! He's scary!
**[06:13] ---**
They only come crying to you
when they are in need.
**[06:19] ---**
Once peace settles,
they begin to complain and accuse.
**[06:26] ---**
And you will be
stripped of your title as Hero.
**[06:30] ---**
They won't want someone who is not
pure human to stand above them.
**[06:36] ---**
That is what humans are.
**[06:38] ---**
You're wrong!
**[06:40] ---**
We'd never do such a thing!
**[06:43] ---**
That is, Princess...
**[06:45] ---**
only because you hold
a personal affinity for Dai.
**[06:51] ---**
It's no different from Baran's case.
**[06:53] ---**
The feeling of one individual cannot
change something as nebulous as a country.
**[07:01] ---**
As royalty, you should know this well.
**[07:05] ---**
But I am different.
**[07:07] ---**
I do not discriminate between races
for those who are strong.
**[07:12] ---**
Baran and Hadlar may have betrayed me,
but I still respect them.
**[07:20] ---**
So what now, Dai?!
**[07:23] ---**
Will you risk your life
for a worthless victory?
**[07:26] ---**
Or will you serve one
who understands your true value?
**[07:30] ---**
You may be a child,
but the choice should be clear.
**[07:34] ---**
What will it be, Dai?!
**[07:38] ---**
My answer is...
**[07:39] ---**
no!
**[07:42] ---**
A child indeed.
**[07:44] ---**
You still cling to
the sweet illusion of being a hero.
**[07:49] ---**
You're wrong!
**[07:51] ---**
Humans...
**[07:53] ---**
I know that humans can sometimes be cruel.
**[07:57] ---**
I doubt you're lying about what you said.
**[08:02] ---**
But it doesn't matter.
**[08:04] ---**
I still love everyone.
**[08:07] ---**
I love humans.
**[08:09] ---**
I love all the creatures of
the Surface World who made me who I am.
**[08:15] ---**
Dai...
**[08:17] ---**
If what you say is really true...
**[08:20] ---**
If it's what the people
of the Surface World want...
**[08:25] ---**
*Then...*
**[08:27] ---**
Then...
**[08:30] ---**
Then I will defeat you...
**[08:32] ---**
and leave this world.
**[08:38] ---**
I see. A pity.
**[08:42] ---**
You truly are a blessing for these humans.
**[08:47] ---**
To make the almighty Dragon Knight
say such a thing...
**[08:52] ---**
they are quite sinful creatures.
**[08:55] ---**
You need to learn a lesson!
**[08:58] ---**
That to side with them
was your greatest folly!
**[09:06] ---**
*Dai... Please win!*
**[09:09] ---**
*Not for anyone else. But for yourself!*
**[09:31] ---**
I'm not sure how, but you seem to know
what's going on outside.
**[09:36] ---**
You're clearly trying to rush this fight.
**[09:41] ---**
It looks like we're
nearly done, Killvearn!
**[09:49] ---**
Avan... I didn't expect
this much from you.
**[09:53] ---**
Killvearn...
**[09:54] ---**
the moment you decided to hold this duel,
you put yourself at a disadvantage.
**[10:00] ---**
You only have one way of winning.
**[10:02] ---**
To deceive and snare. That's all.
**[10:05] ---**
Using your numerous tools and traps,
**[10:07] ---**
you immobilize your target
and dispatch them easily.
**[10:12] ---**
For a Reaper, it's a sure way of killing,
**[10:15] ---**
but over the years,
you've lost the ability to win fairly.
**[10:20] ---**
Your strength, skill,
and speed are all top-rate,
**[10:24] ---**
but your deciding attacks
lack the drive to win.
**[10:29] ---**
That's why you can't mortally wound
someone like me who can match your speed.
**[10:36] ---**
You gave in to the humiliation
of your wounded pride.
**[10:39] ---**
By using this duel with the Judge,
you already sealed your fate.
**[10:45] ---**
That's right.
**[10:46] ---**
You lose, Killvearn.
**[10:55] ---**
You truly are quite fascinating.
**[10:58] ---**
As you said, I can't win
without any traps.
**[11:02] ---**
If I really wanted to, I could train
and be unbeatable in a fair fight.
**[11:07] ---**
I'm strong enough for that.
**[11:12] ---**
But I've lost interest in such victories.
**[11:19] ---**
Like an insect caught in a spider's web,
**[11:23] ---**
seeing a target caught
in a trap is glorious.
**[11:27] ---**
The more someone has worked hard, the more
I love seeing them fall into my traps.
**[11:34] ---**
Once I've tasted that joy,
killing in other ways seems foolish.
**[11:43] ---**
When I can effortlessly finish them off
and grant them peace,
**[11:48] ---**
it makes me truly feel
that I'm indeed a Reaper.
**[11:56] ---**
I've had it!
**[11:58] ---**
I've never met an enemy
as fiendish as you!
**[12:02] ---**
Prepare yourself!
**[12:08] ---**
My sword suddenly broke?!
**[12:10] ---**
No. I felt it hit something.
**[12:12] ---**
That's right. It didn't break. It was cut.
**[12:18] ---**
As you said,
deceiving and snaring is how I win.
**[12:23] ---**
So I set up a snare in secret
while we were fighting.
**[12:28] ---**
If you had been more observant,
**[12:31] ---**
you'd have noticed the lines
on my hat have been fading.
**[12:37] ---**
Could it be...?!
**[12:43] ---**
Invisible blades!
**[12:44] ---**
Bingo!
**[12:46] ---**
The lines on my hat
contain invisible blades
**[12:49] ---**
that once drawn will finish an enemy.
**[12:54] ---**
They are hidden all around this field!
**[12:58] ---**
Only I know where they are.
**[13:02] ---**
A cage made of 13 invisible blades.
**[13:06] ---**
This is Killvearn's final trap!
**[13:11] ---**
The Phantom Razor!
**[13:14] ---**
And now, it's your turn
to prepare yourself!
**[13:21] ---**
CLICK
**[13:26] ---**
REAPER FLUTE
**[13:47] ---**
Dodge carelessly
and it could end up killing you.
**[13:51] ---**
You could at least die to my sword.
**[13:54] ---**
A single stab to the heart...
**[13:58] ---**
and it will be over.
**[14:03] ---**
You called me fiendish,
but you'll thank me when I kill you.
**[14:09] ---**
"Thank you for freeing me from this hell."
**[14:18] ---**
*No! I'm losing consciousness!*
**[14:23] ---**
*What a terrifying trap.*
**[14:24] ---**
*I can't attack or defend like this!*
**[14:28] ---**
*Either way, I'm certain to die.*
**[14:35] ---**
And now...
**[14:46] ---**
*I never wanted to use this again,
but I can't let him escape!*
**[14:52] ---**
Megante, is it?
**[14:54] ---**
We can't have that.
**[14:57] ---**
The Judge?!
**[14:58] ---**
You can commit suicide with that.
**[15:01] ---**
Then this Judge was part of your...!
**[15:03] ---**
Teaming up with the Judge
is a terrible trap indeed.
**[15:08] ---**
Of course I made such preparations.
**[15:11] ---**
I even altered it to self-destruct
along with this field if needed.
**[15:18] ---**
*It can use Megante, too?!*
**[15:19] ---**
See? In the end, using traps
is the best way to go.
**[15:24] ---**
Goodbye then.
**[15:26] ---**
W-Wait! Killvearn!
**[15:28] ---**
You're annoying me.
**[15:40] ---**
Vengeance complete.
**[15:47] ---**
Whoops, this isn't the White Garden.
**[15:51] ---**
This is where Baran died.
**[15:54] ---**
It seems the shock
of the explosion shifted my exit.
**[15:57] ---**
It appears that
King Vearn is fighting Dai.
**[16:10] ---**
And Dai is winning.
**[16:12] ---**
Oh well. There's no need
to rush to rescue King Vearn.
**[16:18] ---**
If Dai defeats him then that's that.
**[16:22] ---**
I may be obligated to help him,
but I'm not duty-bound to.
**[16:27] ---**
I'm not like Myst.
**[16:37] ---**
It looks like it's over...
**[16:39] ---**
Mystvearn.
**[16:41] ---**
This is truly the final battle.
And the end of you.
**[16:46] ---**
And who will end me?
**[16:49] ---**
You showing up here changes nothing.
**[16:54] ---**
Do you think Crocodine
or that rat can harm me?
**[17:00] ---**
Not even Lon Beruk or Larhart
could damage my ultimate body!
**[17:06] ---**
None in this world can end me.
**[17:11] ---**
You or Avan may have had a chance,
but Avan is currently fighting Kill.
**[17:17] ---**
*Master is...?!*
**[17:18] ---**
And you are already beyond recovery.
**[17:23] ---**
No one can do anything at all!
**[17:30] ---**
No. There's one more person.
**[17:32] ---**
What?!
**[17:36] ---**
He means me.
**[17:37] ---**
You can?
**[17:40] ---**
It's not like I've completely
joined these guys.
**[17:44] ---**
But I made a promise with Hyunckel
**[17:47] ---**
that I'd defeat everyone
he was supposed to.
**[17:52] ---**
Sorry, but it's time to die, Mystvearn!
**[17:56] ---**
Wait. Seriously?!
**[17:58] ---**
He's not someone a puppet
with a tough body can do anything about!
**[18:02] ---**
You'd better stay out of this.
**[18:11] ---**
Aura?!
**[18:13] ---**
Oh?
**[18:14] ---**
How's this, Larhart?
**[18:17] ---**
Unlike when we met, I'm at full power now.
**[18:22] ---**
This is my strength at its best.
**[18:29] ---**
*A metallic life form using Aura?*
**[18:32] ---**
*Impossible! It's inconceivable!*
**[18:34] ---**
Here goes!
**[18:36] ---**
Hold it!
**[18:37] ---**
You can't fight an enemy
without your Captain's permission!
**[18:46] ---**
Then give me permission, mister Captain.
Can I beat the pulp out of this guy?
**[18:52] ---**
Very well. Go ahead.
**[18:54] ---**
Thank you!
**[18:57] ---**
-It worked?!
-That's fast!
**[19:01] ---**
*That's impressive speed.*
**[19:04] ---**
*Added with the hardness of Orichalcum
and the power of Aura...*
**[19:08] ---**
*I may have been severely
underestimating this one.*
**[19:15] ---**
Hyunckel, that Aura...!
**[19:18] ---**
That's right.
**[19:19] ---**
Hym's Aura is neither Dark Aura,
nor Dark Fire Energy.
**[19:23] ---**
It's Aura of Light.
**[19:25] ---**
So it really is Aura of Light?!
**[19:27] ---**
But Hym was in the Dark Army!
**[19:29] ---**
Even during our duel,
Hym was already emitting Aura of Light.
**[19:34] ---**
Going beyond good and evil,
and seeking only to settle things with me,
**[19:38] ---**
Hym was no longer evil.
**[19:40] ---**
I get it! Aura of Light is the greatest
weakness for Mystvearn who uses Dark Aura!
**[19:47] ---**
No one could defeat Mystvearn
as easily as Hym.
**[19:55] ---**
*This is a huge find!*
**[19:58] ---**
Good going! Keep it up Little Hym!
**[20:03] ---**
"Little Hym"?! What the hell is that?!
**[20:05] ---**
Giving names like that
is the custom of my commandos!
**[20:09] ---**
Can't you come up
with a better name than that?!
**[20:13] ---**
Little Hym... Hymmy... Hymster...
Which do you prefer?
**[20:17] ---**
Uh... I'll take Little Hym.
**[20:20] ---**
That's it then!
**[20:21] ---**
Hym's one of the strongest of us and
Chiu's treating it like it's no big deal.
**[20:26] ---**
*What a fascinating rat.*
**[20:34] ---**
Is that all?!
**[20:36] ---**
*Curses! This pathetic puppet!*
**[20:39] ---**
Now finish him, Little Hym! Or would you
prefer Pawny, since you're a pawn?
**[20:44] ---**
Dammit! Call me whatever you like!
**[20:48] ---**
Look out, Hym!
**[20:51] ---**
I'll tear you all to shreds!
Dark Puppetry Aura Decimation Field!
**[21:04] ---**
Don't give me your little tricks!
**[21:10] ---**
All Hym had to do was stamp one foot...
**[21:13] ---**
...and the Field was shattered!
**[21:16] ---**
Come at me like a man, will you?!
**[21:20] ---**
Holy cow! Hym's actually amazing!
**[21:23] ---**
To be honest, I'm shocked, too.
**[21:27] ---**
I didn't imagine Hym possessed such power.
**[21:49] ---**
*I can win.*
**[21:51] ---**
*I can really win?!*
**[22:11] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:11] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:20] ---**
*I gaze at you from behind
as you begin to walk away*
**[22:20] ---**

*Beyond the horizon something glimmers*
**[22:50] ---**

*We've been seeking something certain*

**[23:03] ---**
*In the distant sky, dancing in the wind*

**[23:09] ---**
*The birds sing as though
illuminating the future*
**[23:09] ---**

THE DECIDING ATTACK
**[01:56] ---**
If I fought Hym, even I might lose.
**[02:00] ---**
Stop being modest, Larhart.
**[02:02] ---**
In a one-to-one, you would probably win.
**[02:06] ---**
But in battle, there's compatibility
and strengths and weaknesses.
**[02:11] ---**
Larhart.
**[02:12] ---**
You use your super speed and skills
to defeat enemies with blasts and shocks.
**[02:19] ---**
You don't fight with Aura skills.
**[02:22] ---**
I see.
**[02:24] ---**
Hym is still inexperienced in skill,
but has that overwhelming Aura.
**[02:30] ---**
And it's Aura of Light, something
that hurts Mystvearn the most.
**[02:36] ---**
Basically, a natural enemy.
**[02:39] ---**
Hey Mystvearn...
**[02:41] ---**
I feel a little bad
beating you up like this.
**[02:45] ---**
The Dark Army was full of
annoying characters.
**[02:49] ---**
But you were the only one
who seemed to respect Lord Hadlar.
**[02:54] ---**
Hadlar?
**[02:56] ---**
That's impossible!
**[02:58] ---**
Are you telling my, your Aura and life
are a dying gift from him?!
**[03:03] ---**
That's the case!
**[03:05] ---**
Not that I've got
a more logical explanation.
**[03:10] ---**
I just want it to be so.
**[03:12] ---**
You're saying Hadlar's will gave Hym life?
**[03:16] ---**
How is that...
**[03:22] ---**
I think so, too, Little Hym!
**[03:25] ---**
Miracles aren't for the evil!
**[03:27] ---**
You're the 12th member
of the righteous Beast King Commandos!
**[03:32] ---**
That's all there is!
**[03:51] ---**
Thanks a lot, Captain.
**[03:54] ---**
Don't make me laugh!
**[03:56] ---**
A mere puppet pretending to be
the rebirth of Hadlar?!
**[04:00] ---**
You forget your place, you worm!
**[04:03] ---**
I, Mystvearn, shall use all of my power
to shatter you to pieces!
**[04:09] ---**
Sorry, but that's not possible!
**[04:12] ---**
To shatter my Orichalcum body
is something...
**[04:16] ---**
only one person in the world can do!
**[04:19] ---**
Huh? Me?
**[04:34] ---**
Ouch!
**[04:42] ---**
Whoa!
**[04:45] ---**
Good going, Little Hym!
**[04:47] ---**
*No! At this rate...!*
*This pawn is stronger than I thought!*
**[04:52] ---**
*Sadly, I have no choice!*
*I have to use that power!*
**[04:57] ---**
*King Vearn!*
**[04:59] ---**
*King Vearn!*
**[05:01] ---**
*King Vearn! Can you not hear me?!*
**[05:05] ---**
*No!*
**[05:07] ---**
*He may be fighting Dai,*
**[05:09] ---**
*but I can't believe King Vearn would be*
*so focused as to not hear my voice.*
**[05:15] ---**
*Wait! Is it possible that Dai*
*is pressing King Vearn that much?!*
**[05:39] ---**
*What's wrong, Dai?*
**[05:41] ---**
*Why are you hesitating?*
**[05:43] ---**
*Is he... Is Vearn, the Dark King*
*really this weak?*
**[05:48] ---**
*Or is the Kaglimmer spell affecting him?*
**[05:51] ---**
*No. It barely had any affect on Hadlar.*
**[05:55] ---**
*It can't be affecting Vearn this much.*
**[05:59] ---**
*Then... I've gotten that much stronger?*
**[06:04] ---**
How does it feel?
**[06:06] ---**
To overwhelm an enemy
who once defeated you.
**[06:10] ---**
I'm asking how it feels.
**[06:14] ---**
You question whether it's really me,
and can't get a grasp on your own growth.
**[06:21] ---**
But very soon...
**[06:23] ---**
very soon you'll feel euphoric.
**[06:26] ---**
Feel... euphoric?
**[06:28] ---**
To drown in your own power.
**[06:30] ---**
It's a feeling better than
drinking any exquisite wine.
**[06:37] ---**
Not that a child would understand
the joys of wine.
**[06:51] ---**
Mystvearn is moving to the offensive!
**[06:54] ---**
Without permission to use that power
I must fight with what strength I have!
**[07:01] ---**
I will pour all my Dark Aura
into this hand!
**[07:04] ---**
Here I go!
**[07:06] ---**
Dark Aura Ultimate Hand!
**[07:11] ---**
Oh no! It's his last ace in the hole
focusing all his Dark Aura into his hand!
**[07:19] ---**
Hym, don't let that touch you!
You have to dodge it!
**[07:23] ---**
You can't dodge this!
I'll pulverize you!
**[07:29] ---**
That idiot! He's not dodging!
**[07:31] ---**
That's crazy, Little Hym!
**[07:34] ---**
Wait!
**[07:35] ---**
That stance!
**[07:56] ---**
See?!
**[07:57] ---**
Not even Orichalcum can withstand
the force of my palm!
**[08:02] ---**
Oh no!
**[08:03] ---**
Now shatter into pieces!
**[08:05] ---**
No thanks!
**[08:07] ---**
I told you only one person
can shatter this body!
**[08:13] ---**
The best you can do
is shatter one arm!
**[08:17] ---**
Which lets me get close to you!
**[08:21] ---**
My ace in the hole is my left strike!
**[08:25] ---**
Aura Knuckle!
**[08:27] ---**
*I-Impossible!*
*A mere pawn would defeat me?!*
**[08:33] ---**
*This is impossible!*
**[08:37] ---**
-Yes!
-Good going, Little Hym!
**[08:46] ---**
It's taking damage
to inflict greater damage.
**[08:50] ---**
Besides, my arm can be healed
with a Heal-type spell.
**[08:54] ---**
Now to finish him.
**[08:56] ---**
That's not necessary.
He's already unable to fight.
**[09:00] ---**
More importantly, get his mask off.
**[09:02] ---**
His mask?
**[09:04] ---**
*K-King Vearn...*
**[09:14] ---**
*Oh no. Dai is losing the initiative.*
**[09:18] ---**
*It's Vearn's strange confidence.*
**[09:22] ---**
*I'm sure that he's really fighting*
*at full strength.*
**[09:28] ---**
*He can't be holding back at all.*
**[09:32] ---**
*So why is he so confident?!*
**[09:36] ---**
Dai! Be strong!
**[09:39] ---**
It's possible to win
simply through inertia! Stay aggressive!
**[09:47] ---**
Leona, don't show yourself!
**[09:49] ---**
Huh?!
**[09:52] ---**
Now I shall uncloak it!
**[09:55] ---**
The mystic veil that hides your power...
while I still can!
**[10:02] ---**
That flaming bird!
**[10:04] ---**
Kaiser Phoenix!
**[10:06] ---**
*I've seen it before!*
*I can banish it with an Avan Strash!*
**[10:13] ---**
A simultaneous attack!
**[10:29] ---**
Wh-What happened?
**[10:32] ---**
It looked like they collided at once.
**[10:38] ---**
Where's Dai?!
**[10:39] ---**
Dai...
**[10:45] ---**
The mighty Dragon Knight.
**[10:48] ---**
Even with my greatest attack,
I couldn't defeat him.
**[11:01] ---**
Dai!
**[11:13] ---**
GIGA STRASH
**[11:19] ---**
KAISER PHOENIX
**[11:22] ---**
*King Vearn...*
**[11:24] ---**
You're saying to pull his mask off?
**[11:27] ---**
Mystvearn...
**[11:29] ---**
His identity has long been
shrouded in mystery.
**[11:33] ---**
I believe that his identity
**[11:36] ---**
is directly linked
to Dark King Vearn's secret.
**[11:41] ---**
The Dark King's secret?
**[11:42] ---**
He used to never speak at all.
**[11:46] ---**
In other words, the face he hides,
**[11:49] ---**
or his voice, depending on who hears it,
**[11:52] ---**
is a great secret that Vearn
doesn't want revealed to anyone.
**[11:58] ---**
Are you serious?
**[11:59] ---**
When I was in the Dark Army,
Vearn to a favoring to me.
**[12:04] ---**
Among the Six Legion Commanders,
I probably interacted with Vearn the most.
**[12:11] ---**
And Mystvearn was my teacher of Dark Aura.
**[12:16] ---**
If I can see his real face,
**[12:18] ---**
I might be able to get a glimpse of the
secret Mystvearn's been hiding for ages.
**[12:24] ---**
If we can relay that to Dai
as he's fighting Vearn...
**[12:27] ---**
I get it! It could give him an advantage
in their final battle!
**[12:32] ---**
I'm fine with that.
**[12:34] ---**
Either way, this guy won't
put up a fight..
**[12:37] ---**
We can finish him whenever we want.
**[12:39] ---**
Pulling off this raiment is no big deal.
**[12:44] ---**
*"Raiment"...*
**[12:45] ---**
Here goes.
**[12:50] ---**
W-Wait!
**[12:52] ---**
Wait a minute!
**[12:53] ---**
What's wrong, Big Guy?
Why are you yelling?
**[12:57] ---**
I think that unveiling Mystvearn's mask
could be very dangerous!
**[13:02] ---**
Dangerous? What do you mean?
**[13:04] ---**
"Don't remove Mystvearn's Shadow Raiment."
**[13:09] ---**
Right before we came here
from the surface,
**[13:13] ---**
Lon Beruk gave me this message for you.
**[13:18] ---**
*Shadow Raiment?*
**[13:20] ---**
*That's right.*
**[13:21] ---**
*What is that?*
**[13:23] ---**
You mean the clothes that Mystvearn wears?
**[13:27] ---**
I'm not too sure about it myself.
**[13:29] ---**
I can only express it in vague terms...
**[13:33] ---**
but there's no doubt that something
is suppressing his power.
**[13:39] ---**
There's only one reason that he and I
fought evenly matched for that long.
**[13:45] ---**
Just as I was, he, too,
wasn't at full strength.
**[13:49] ---**
It was a fight between
two people holding back.
**[13:53] ---**
*Even in that ferocious battle?*
**[13:56] ---**
During our fight I realized
**[13:58] ---**
even if he wanted to fight
at full strength, he can't.
**[14:02] ---**
Probably for a different reason than me.
**[14:05] ---**
What he said when he left was proof.
**[14:09] ---**
"Maybe if you had fought at full strength
**[14:13] ---**
our battle wouldn't have taken so long."
**[14:16] ---**
"Of course, the same could be said of me."
**[14:20] ---**
Then, Lon Beruk, you're saying
Mystvearn is still hiding his true power?
**[14:26] ---**
Yes. Something's there.
**[14:28] ---**
Don't do anything that would force him
to fight a full strength.
**[14:31] ---**
*Don't remove his Shadow Raiment.*
**[14:35] ---**
In other word, Lon Beruk described
**[14:38] ---**
whatever it is that holds
Mystvearn's unfathomable power back
**[14:42] ---**
as his "Shadow Raiment."
**[14:45] ---**
And that's his mask?
**[14:47] ---**
I'm not sure.
**[14:49] ---**
But Hym's use of the word raiment
made me remember.
**[14:57] ---**
Then Lon Beruk meant
if there's a chance to defeat him,
**[15:02] ---**
do it before he reveals his true power.
**[15:06] ---**
Yes.
**[15:07] ---**
They make a good point, Hyunckel.
**[15:09] ---**
Mystvearn definitely is unfathomable.
**[15:13] ---**
And Lon Beruk is the Legendary Craftsman
of the Underworld.
**[15:18] ---**
Couldn't he be far closer to the secret
of the Dark King and Mystvearn than you?
**[15:23] ---**
*That's possible.*
**[15:26] ---**
*We can't ignore a warning from Lon Beruk.*
**[15:29] ---**
Hey! So what do I do?!
**[15:32] ---**
I don't mind either finishing him
or revealing his face!
**[15:38] ---**
Hyunckel.
**[15:40] ---**
That must be Dai!
**[15:42] ---**
The final battle with Vearn
has already started!
**[15:52] ---**
Hym, it's better that
we finish him off here!
**[15:56] ---**
What about his true identity?
**[15:58] ---**
We should listen to any warning
from Lon Beruk.
**[16:02] ---**
Plus we need to hurry ahead.
**[16:05] ---**
For now, we should get rid of
any Dark Army forces that we can.
**[16:09] ---**
Sure thing.
**[16:14] ---**
*Yes. That's the right choice.*
**[16:17] ---**
*Even if this next blow obliterates
Mystvearn along with his secret.*
**[16:23] ---**
*The desire to know it may stem from
my personal feelings*
**[16:27] ---**
*because he was my teacher,
despite it being for evil.*
**[16:31] ---**
*Right now, victory comes first.*
**[16:34] ---**
Bye Mystvearn!
Hope you rest in peace!
**[16:40] ---**
*King Vearn! King Vearn!*
**[16:43] ---**
*Forgive me!*
**[16:47] ---**
*That was definitely*
*Vearn's deciding attack!*
**[16:52] ---**
*And Dai managed to survive it!*
**[16:55] ---**
*But how?!*
**[16:57] ---**
*All I could see was*
*up to the instant they clashed.*
**[17:01] ---**
Unbelievable.
**[17:02] ---**
To dive into my Kaiser Phoenix.
**[17:06] ---**
What?!
**[17:07] ---**
In that instant you...
**[17:10] ---**
Kaiser Phoenix!
**[17:16] ---**
*Block my Kaiser Phoenix*
*and my Staff of Edacity hits.*
**[17:22] ---**
*Block my staff and the flames consume you.*
**[17:25] ---**
*Knowing that either way results in damage,*
*you chose to dive into the flames.*
**[17:33] ---**
A seemingly reckless move.
**[17:35] ---**
But inside the Phoenix is the only place
from where one can successfully hit me.
**[17:42] ---**
I knew I'd be hurt either way,
so I chose the way where I could hit back.
**[17:50] ---**
Dai are you okay?!
**[17:54] ---**
*Of course he isn't.*
**[17:56] ---**
*The Dark King's strongest spell hit him.*
**[17:59] ---**
A natural result.
**[18:00] ---**
You may have managed to strike me,
but my Kaiser Phoenix hit you directly.
**[18:07] ---**
If you were unhurt
it would scar my dignity.
**[18:10] ---**
Now for another attack!
**[18:12] ---**
You won't get the chance!
**[18:16] ---**
Now it's my turn!
**[18:18] ---**
Before that wound
to your shoulder regenerates...
**[18:22] ---**
I'll use my deciding attack!
**[18:25] ---**
This time, Vearn, it's your turn
to defend yourself!
**[18:29] ---**
And if I've thought this out right,
I know I can defeat you with this!
**[18:44] ---**
Interesting!
Then let's see this attack of yours!
**[18:51] ---**
Huh?!
**[18:53] ---**
Doruora?!
**[18:58] ---**
Fool. Have you forgotten that
Doruora has no effect on me?
**[19:03] ---**
No! Doruora will work!
**[19:07] ---**
I've fought Dad once, so I know it well!
**[19:11] ---**
Doruora is a spell no defense can stop!
**[19:15] ---**
Once cast, there's only
two ways to survive it!
**[19:19] ---**
Withstand it or dodge it!
**[19:22] ---**
But when you first appeared,
not even your clothes were damaged.
**[19:29] ---**
Dark King or not, if you withstood it,
you wouldn't be completely unscathed.
**[19:35] ---**
But if you dodged it with a Zoom spell,
you wouldn't appear from under the rubble!
**[19:41] ---**
The secret to how you
survived my Doruora spell must be...
**[19:46] ---**
in the Staff of Edacity!
**[19:49] ---**
Not a bad hypothesis.
But what if you're wrong?
**[19:53] ---**
Doruora is a spell that drains
massive amounts of Magic Power.
**[19:58] ---**
I doubt you can use it more than twice.
**[20:00] ---**
You used it once, so what if I counter
after you've spent all your Magic Power?
**[20:07] ---**
I already know that.
**[20:09] ---**
Once I use this,
my Magic Power will be all spent.
**[20:15] ---**
But I know you won't counter!
**[20:22] ---**
Take this! Doruora!
**[20:35] ---**
He stopped the Doruora with his staff!
**[20:37] ---**
I knew it!
**[20:39] ---**
The blade of my Staff of Edacity,
**[20:41] ---**
can be burst forth as an energy wall
that can block any spell.
**[20:47] ---**
Just as you hypothesized,
**[20:50] ---**
*I survived your Doruora by using
my Staff of Edacity to block it!*
**[21:03] ---**
If I can withstand this, I win!
**[21:09] ---**
Got you!
**[21:11] ---**
Leona!
**[21:14] ---**
What?!
**[21:15] ---**
Silver Feather!
**[21:19] ---**
Curse you!
**[21:20] ---**
And another!
**[22:11] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:11] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:20] ---**
*I gaze at you from behind
as you begin to walk away*
**[22:20] ---**
*arukidasu kimi no ushirosugata wo nagameru*
**[22:30] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:30] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*

THE SHADOW RAIMENT
**[01:50] ---**
And another!
**[02:54] ---**
D-Did it work?
**[02:56] ---**
Yeah.
**[02:59] ---**
Dai!
**[03:00] ---**
I'm okay.
**[03:02] ---**
I just feel a little sluggish.
**[03:07] ---**
I knew using Doruora twice in a row
would take its toll.
**[03:11] ---**
But I was able to do it because
you understood what I was thinking.
**[03:16] ---**
Thank you.
**[03:19] ---**
I can't believe you planned to use
Doruora twice in a row.
**[03:25] ---**
When I realized that Vearn used his
Staff of Edacity to survive my Doruora,
**[03:30] ---**
I figured that he wouldn't be able to
withstand it twice in a row.
**[03:35] ---**
I thought it might be possible
if you healed my Magic Power.
**[03:39] ---**
I see.
**[03:41] ---**
It wouldn't work if he had dodged it,
but if he was using his staff to block it,
**[03:47] ---**
if you fired a second one while
the energy of the first one remained,
**[03:52] ---**
that would be two Doruora's worth.
**[03:57] ---**
There's no way... he survived that.
**[04:06] ---**
It was all so quick
the reality hasn't sunk in yet.
**[04:11] ---**
There was always only one Dragon Knight.
**[04:16] ---**
To hit something with
Doruora twice in a row...
**[04:19] ---**
It's a destructive force
that should normally be impossible.
**[04:23] ---**
It's because it's Vearn.
**[04:25] ---**
Huh?
**[04:27] ---**
Nobody but Vearn would be able to
block a Doruora spell.
**[04:34] ---**
Because Vearn is too strong...
**[04:36] ---**
His strength is the reason he ended up
being hit by an attack that powerful.
**[04:44] ---**
I guess being too strong
isn't all it seems to be.
**[04:54] ---**
Come on! Stand proud, Hero! You've won!
**[05:00] ---**
You've defeated the Dark King!
**[05:05] ---**
That was pretty big.
It was the biggest shock I've felt today.
**[05:11] ---**
Either it was caused by Dai... or...
**[05:15] ---**
We should hurry!
**[05:16] ---**
Hey! What about him?
**[05:19] ---**
Just leave him.
**[05:21] ---**
We know he can't resist.
There's no need to kill him.
**[05:27] ---**
Right, Hyunckel?
**[05:29] ---**
We don't need to finish him off, do we?
**[05:33] ---**
You're too forgiving, Maam!
How many times have we fought this beast?!
**[05:38] ---**
We should finish him here
or we'll regret it!
**[05:42] ---**
You know I'm right, don't you?!
**[05:45] ---**
But if Dai loses to Vearn
it'll be meaningless!
**[05:50] ---**
Even if we kill Mystvearn...
**[05:55] ---**
You're infighting?
**[05:57] ---**
Your teamwork sure sucks!
**[06:00] ---**
The Royal Guard was much...
**[06:16] ---**
He shouldn't be able to move a muscle!
**[06:19] ---**
He's immortal?!
**[06:22] ---**
See?! Do you still want to
show him mercy now?!
**[06:27] ---**
Hey, Hym!
**[06:28] ---**
You don't need to tell me!
I'm finishing him off now!
**[06:34] ---**
King Vearn...
**[06:36] ---**
forgive me.
**[06:39] ---**
Please forgive me.
**[06:41] ---**
Stop your useless babbling!
**[07:09] ---**
Forgive me, King Vearn.
**[07:13] ---**
For the first time...
**[07:15] ---**
without your permission...
**[07:18] ---**
I have revealed this face.
**[07:21] ---**
Th-That's...
**[07:23] ---**
Mystvearn's face!
**[07:25] ---**
*A human? No. A Darkling.*
**[07:29] ---**
*The true face that even Lon Beruk feared
is that of this slender young man?*
**[07:37] ---**
*This presence... I recognize it.*
**[07:55] ---**
*All this force... from just a push?!*
**[08:00] ---**
How terrifying.
**[08:03] ---**
I have done something truly terrifying.
**[08:06] ---**
Not even I can escape the severe
punishment from King Vearn this time.
**[08:12] ---**
Even execution may be unavoidable.
**[08:16] ---**
Showing this face
is that great of a crime!
**[08:21] ---**
And to do it without
King Vearn's permission...!
**[08:24] ---**
Bastard! Are you trying to provoke me?!
**[08:28] ---**
What's so great about that pompous face!
**[08:30] ---**
Stop! Hym!
**[08:35] ---**
*What overwhelming malice!*
**[08:37] ---**
You're not as thick as I thought.
**[08:40] ---**
You've sensed my power.
**[08:43] ---**
*What?! I'm... I'm being
overwhelmed by his pressure?*
**[08:50] ---**
*By... By this normal-looking...
ordinary guy?!*
**[08:56] ---**
*His Dark Aura was much stronger
when he had his mask on!*
**[09:03] ---**
Very good. Be afraid.
**[09:07] ---**
I'm afraid, too.
**[09:09] ---**
S-Screw you!
**[09:12] ---**
Babble all you want after you eat this!
**[09:15] ---**
Stop! Don't do it, Hym!
**[09:17] ---**
Aura Knuckle!
**[09:20] ---**
What?!
**[09:29] ---**
Are you kidding me?!
**[09:31] ---**
Hym's Orichalcum arm!
**[09:35] ---**
*He twisted it off! Forcefully!
And so casually!*
**[09:41] ---**
*And not by using his opponent's strength
against them like I would!*
**[09:45] ---**
*He tore it off with brute strength!*
**[09:51] ---**
Hey! My arm!
**[09:56] ---**
Hmm. Very impressive, Larhart.
**[10:00] ---**
A normal hit would have caused
that arm to break or dent.
**[10:07] ---**
These shattered fragments of Orichalcum
are proof of your strength.
**[10:16] ---**
However...
**[10:25] ---**
You and that pawn...
**[10:28] ---**
may be warriors of the highest level
on this Surface World.
**[10:33] ---**
But you cannot hope to
match me in this form.
**[10:38] ---**
This is the face of
the strongest man in the Underworld.
**[10:43] ---**
What?!
**[10:44] ---**
W-What about Vearn?! Isn't Vearn
supposed to be greater than you?!
**[10:52] ---**
King Vearn is a great man.
**[10:55] ---**
His wisdom and Magic Power
are indeed unparalleled.
**[11:00] ---**
But in terms of a powerful body,
I am currently above him.
**[11:06] ---**
That's right.
**[11:08] ---**
I am stronger than King Vearn.
**[11:13] ---**
I am the strongest of the Dark Army.
**[11:21] ---**
DARK AURA PUPPETRY HAND
**[11:26] ---**
AURA KNUCKLE
**[11:35] ---**
There! I cast Fullheal on you.
**[11:37] ---**
Thanks!
**[11:39] ---**
I'm worried about the others.
Let's hurry back to the White Garden.
**[11:47] ---**
Huh? Huh?
**[11:49] ---**
W-What's wrong, Dai?!
**[11:52] ---**
It's just, my body feels a little weak.
**[11:57] ---**
I should be healed more than I was before.
**[12:00] ---**
You're not fully healed?!
With a Fullheal spell?!
**[12:04] ---**
I guess so.
**[12:05] ---**
But I'm better than when I cast Doruora.
**[12:08] ---**
What are you talking about?!
**[12:10] ---**
Then you've only recovered
what you would naturally!
**[12:14] ---**
To not fully recover your stamina
from a Fullheal spell is impossible!
**[12:21] ---**
Wait. It could be possible.
**[12:24] ---**
Huh?
**[12:25] ---**
Hyunckel mentioned it.
**[12:26] ---**
Damage from Dark Aura
can't be healed with Heal-type magic.
**[12:31] ---**
It could be possible that
the Draconic Aura is similar.
**[12:37] ---**
If the rebound from that double Doruora
has left residual damage to you
**[12:42] ---**
that is unaffected by Heal-type magic...
**[12:45] ---**
What do we do about it?
**[12:47] ---**
Well...
**[12:49] ---**
We've already defeated Vearn.
**[12:51] ---**
We either let it heal naturally,
or wait until Heal-type magic works.
**[12:57] ---**
All we can do is give it time.
**[12:59] ---**
How long do you think it'll take?
**[13:02] ---**
There's no need to rush.
**[13:04] ---**
Mystvearn may be strong,
but he can't be stronger than Vearn.
**[13:10] ---**
If Larhart's working with the others,
they'll be fine.
**[13:15] ---**
Getting your power back fully comes first.
**[13:18] ---**
We can think about Popp,
Master Avan and the others after that.
**[13:23] ---**
If you go to help in that state
you'll only drag them down.
**[13:27] ---**
You're always so blunt, Leona.
**[13:30] ---**
But I guess that's
what makes you reliable.
**[13:34] ---**
Hey! What kind of compliment is that?!
**[13:38] ---**
Hmph!
**[13:44] ---**
*Why is it?*
**[13:46] ---**
*I still feel a trembling in my heart.*
**[13:50] ---**
*I still have...*
**[13:51] ---**
*this terrible feeling...
that something bad is going to happen.*
**[13:58] ---**
What?!
**[13:59] ---**
You're stronger than Vearn?!
**[14:02] ---**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[14:04] ---**
What? Are you saying you're
the real big boss of the Dark Army?!
**[14:10] ---**
That you're above Vearn?!
**[14:14] ---**
Say something!
**[14:17] ---**
With your meager intellect,
**[14:20] ---**
you wouldn't understand even if I
explained my relationship with King Vearn.
**[14:25] ---**
But I'll answer your first question.
**[14:29] ---**
You are correct.
**[14:31] ---**
Then... you're really...
**[14:34] ---**
*He could... actually be stronger.*
**[14:37] ---**
*That power is beyond human comprehension!*
**[14:40] ---**
*It could be greater than Vearn's!*
**[14:43] ---**
Be grateful as you die.
**[14:46] ---**
You could live for centuries
**[14:48] ---**
and never have the chance
to be killed by one like me.
**[14:52] ---**
This gift of death is far beyond
what you deserve.
**[14:57] ---**
*Nothing will work!*
**[14:59] ---**
*But we won't go down so easily!*
**[15:04] ---**
*It may seem that
we're powerless against him,*
**[15:08] ---**
*but if we can slow him down...*
**[15:11] ---**
*We still have our last option!*
**[15:19] ---**
*Medroa!*
**[15:24] ---**
*I feel an abnormal amount
of expectation on my shoulders!*
**[15:28] ---**
*Talk about pressure!*
**[15:31] ---**
*If I use it head on, he might reflect it.*
**[15:34] ---**
*And he ain't slow either!*
**[15:37] ---**
*I need to cast it at the perfect time!*
**[15:40] ---**
Hey!
**[15:41] ---**
Heal me so I can fight again.
**[15:44] ---**
I'll get him in a hold somehow.
**[15:48] ---**
When I do,
just cast that big spell of yours.
**[15:52] ---**
-I couldn't do...
-You idiot!
**[15:54] ---**
There's no time to hesitate!
**[15:56] ---**
Can't you see?!
He'll kill every one of us!
**[16:12] ---**
You still seem ready to fight.
**[16:15] ---**
Your bravery is commendable.
**[16:17] ---**
Even against such overwhelming power
none of you have lost hope.
**[16:22] ---**
You did manage
to fight King Vearn once after all.
**[16:36] ---**
Thanks!
**[16:37] ---**
Now for your finishing move.
**[16:39] ---**
Don't forget what I told you.
**[16:43] ---**
You may be a metallic life form,
but I can't sacrifice you!
**[16:49] ---**
Hesitate like that and you'll end up dead
with that girl you love.
**[16:54] ---**
If my life is all it costs,
consider it a bargain.
**[16:57] ---**
Why does a random enemy like you
know about that?!
**[17:02] ---**
*Buddy, talk about obvious.*
**[17:04] ---**
Stop squabbling and get ready!
**[17:07] ---**
We're all counting on you!
**[17:12] ---**
Everyone...
**[17:14] ---**
There you have it.
**[17:17] ---**
*I don't know what they're planning,*
**[17:20] ---**
*but I guess I'll join in on that gamble.*
**[17:23] ---**
Here goes! It's round two!
**[17:26] ---**
Everyone but us, keep your distance!
**[17:29] ---**
Stick to ranged attacks!
**[17:48] ---**
Whoa! Larhart and Hym's
simultaneous attacks...
**[17:53] ---**
...aren't hitting!
**[17:55] ---**
*It's not that they aren't hitting!*
**[18:00] ---**
*Just like before,
some attacks are hitting home!*
**[18:04] ---**
And yet!
**[18:07] ---**
Dammit! In that case!
**[18:10] ---**
How about this!
**[18:20] ---**
That was quick.
**[18:23] ---**
Dammit! I can't even hold him in place!
**[18:50] ---**
My Beast King Indomitable Blast
isn't even slowing him down!
**[18:59] ---**
Crocodine!
**[19:04] ---**
-Are you okay?
-Yeah.
**[19:06] ---**
I never expected to be saved by you.
**[19:12] ---**
*If only I could move freely!*
**[19:17] ---**
*He's too strong!*
**[19:19] ---**
*I hate to disappoint everyone,*
**[19:21] ---**
*but there's no time
to ready a Medroa spell!*
**[19:26] ---**
What a clean face.
**[19:27] ---**
Huh?!
**[19:28] ---**
What are you talking about
at a time like this?!
**[19:32] ---**
You've always had a thing
for handsome guys, haven't you?!
**[19:37] ---**
That's not what I meant!
**[19:38] ---**
He's been hit numerous times
even when he had his mask on.
**[19:43] ---**
I even hit him in the face
with my Refractor Fist.
**[19:47] ---**
And yet he doesn't have a scratch!
**[19:50] ---**
You're right.
**[19:52] ---**
It's too clean!
**[19:54] ---**
Maam.
**[19:56] ---**
Grand Master!
**[19:57] ---**
No, right now I'm Mr. Beast.
**[20:00] ---**
Huh?
**[20:01] ---**
Is this guy...
**[20:03] ---**
More importantly, is that true?
**[20:05] ---**
You hit him in the face
with your Refractor Fist.
**[20:09] ---**
Yes.
**[20:10] ---**
I see. I understand.
**[20:12] ---**
I believe I've uncovered
the secret of his immortality.
**[20:18] ---**
Immortal and indestructible
are two different things.
**[20:20] ---**
Mystvearn may be powerful
and seemingly immune to damage,
**[20:25] ---**
but the Refractor Fist
overcharges biological functions.
**[20:29] ---**
Normally, he should retain
some sort of mark.
**[20:33] ---**
There's only one explanation.
**[20:35] ---**
His body isn't alive.
It has no biological functions.
**[20:41] ---**
What?!
**[20:42] ---**
Popp, I will give you a chance
to cast Medroa.
**[20:46] ---**
-Wait! That's crazy!
-Don't worry.
**[20:51] ---**
But, as you know,
I suffer from Glossy Ankleitis.
**[20:56] ---**
I can't fight for long,
so make good use of that chance.
**[21:03] ---**
*Wasn't Brokeena's illness something else?*
**[21:06] ---**
*Forget about that!
I don't have time to think about that!*
**[21:17] ---**
What's this?
**[21:18] ---**
Now a clown is going to buy time?
**[21:21] ---**
The secret of your immortality...
**[21:25] ---**
must be...
**[21:32] ---**
the Secret Spell of Frozen Time.
**[21:43] ---**
You know of the Secret Spell?
**[21:49] ---**
You!
**[21:51] ---**
Who are you?!
**[21:57] ---**
Mr. Beast!
**[22:11] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:11] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:20] ---**

THE SECRET SPELL OF FROZEN TIME
**[01:54] ---**
You're rather peculiar.
**[01:56] ---**
But no simple clown could know
the name of that spell.
**[02:01] ---**
Just who is that guy?
**[02:04] ---**
Wait, isn't he here just for healing?
**[02:07] ---**
That's crazy, Grand Master!
**[02:10] ---**
Grand Master...
**[02:12] ---**
I'm counting on you...
**[02:15] ---**
Popp.
**[02:39] ---**
*This movement...*
**[02:41] ---**
Oh wow!
**[02:42] ---**
It's like he's fighting against a feather!
**[02:46] ---**
*For anyone who can move like that,*
*being close is actually safer.*
**[02:52] ---**
*He fights like straight from*
*a martial arts textbook!*
**[02:57] ---**
Stop clinging to me!
**[03:00] ---**
Popp!
**[03:01] ---**
Now's your chance!
**[03:03] ---**
Right! I know that!
**[03:07] ---**
*Medroa... Medroa... With my Medroa...*
**[03:14] ---**
Popp, why are you casting
two Crack spells?!
**[03:18] ---**
Huh?!
**[03:23] ---**
Well...
**[03:24] ---**
there's just a lot of pressure
on my shoulders.
**[03:29] ---**
You know how everything's always
ended up coming down to Dai or Hyunckel?
**[03:35] ---**
I'll do what I can and end up
on the ground, which has been fine
**[03:39] ---**
because I've never had everyone count
on me as the last hope like this.
**[03:46] ---**
I know it's pathetic...
**[03:48] ---**
but I just can't move like I usually do.
**[03:55] ---**
You idiot! That just proves
how strong you've become!
**[03:59] ---**
How can you not use the power
that you've worked so hard to gain?!
**[04:04] ---**
-Even Grand Master is doing his best!
-Whoa!
**[04:10] ---**
A direct hit?!
**[04:15] ---**
Whoops!
**[04:17] ---**
Are you kidding me?!
**[04:20] ---**
With this well-trained, dried,
withered body of mine
**[04:25] ---**
I can float like a leaf in the wind
and absorb the force of enemy attacks!
**[04:31] ---**
It's one of the ultimate skills
of my fighting style.
**[04:35] ---**
And that one hit confirmed my suspicions.
**[04:41] ---**
Your body is abnormally cold.
**[04:45] ---**
Just like back then.
**[04:47] ---**
Over a decade ago, when we fought
Hadlar, the Dark Lord!
**[04:52] ---**
What?!
**[04:53] ---**
Hadlar?! How do you know Hadlar?!
**[04:58] ---**
I once fought the Dark Lord long ago...
**[05:04] ---**
with Avan.
**[05:05] ---**
What?!
**[05:09] ---**
Back then, Avan cast a legendary spell
for the first and last time.
**[05:15] ---**
That spell was...
**[05:17] ---**
the Secret Spell of Frozen Time!
**[05:21] ---**
That was 17 years ago.
**[05:25] ---**
*Back then, Avan, the Hero traveled with
Roka, the Warrior and Leira, the Priest,*
**[05:30] ---**
*on a journey to defeat the Dark Lord.*
**[05:33] ---**
ROKA, THE WARRIOR
**[05:33] ---**
The Secret Spell of Frozen Time?!
**[05:36] ---**
AVAN, THE HERO
**[05:37] ---**
LEIRA, THE PRIEST
**[05:37] ---**
Just what is that?
**[05:40] ---**
It freezes time.
**[05:41] ---**
In other words,
**[05:43] ---**
it's a spell that stops someone's time
and holds them in place indefinitely.
**[05:49] ---**
*Whoever it's cast upon becomes immobile
as though Kaclang was cast,*
**[05:54] ---**
*and they become impervious to any force.*
**[05:57] ---**
But unlike Kaclang,
their biological functions stop, too.
**[06:05] ---**
After all, you've stopped
their time itself.
**[06:09] ---**
And it's not just a spell
to protect oneself.
**[06:13] ---**
It can seal an enemy, too.
**[06:17] ---**
So you plan to defeat Hadlar,
the Dark Lord with that, Sir Avan?
**[06:21] ---**
Defeat him. But I can't kill him.
**[06:25] ---**
However, he will be sealed away forever,
so peace will be restored to the world.
**[06:31] ---**
Peace to the world...
**[06:33] ---**
I've researched this spell using
ancient tomes so it should work.
**[06:39] ---**
But today is our only chance to cast it.
**[06:42] ---**
During today's once-in-centuries
total solar eclipse.
**[06:46] ---**
Once-in-centuries...
**[06:52] ---**
Okay! Good going, brainy Hero!
Nice find on that spell!
**[06:58] ---**
I've always held your intellect
in high regards! Right?
**[07:04] ---**
Then let's get this thing going!
**[07:07] ---**
Let's all grasp that
once-in-centuries chance!
**[07:12] ---**
Unfortunately...
**[07:14] ---**
it won't be all of us.
**[07:18] ---**
Roka... Leira...
**[07:20] ---**
I can't drag you two
into this fight with me.
**[07:24] ---**
W-...
**[07:27] ---**
What?! What are you talking about?!
**[07:30] ---**
I said exactly what I meant.
**[07:33] ---**
I mean that this party
must be temporarily disbanded.
**[07:39] ---**
Sir Avan, why are you saying that?
**[07:42] ---**
This secret spell is not fully understood.
**[07:46] ---**
It uses the power of nature
so it should work on the Dark Lord.
**[07:52] ---**
But...
**[07:53] ---**
I don't know if I can hold off
the spell's backlash.
**[07:58] ---**
In the worst case...
**[08:00] ---**
...you'll be caught in the frozen time?!
**[08:04] ---**
Even if we should win peace,
**[08:07] ---**
it's pointless if
no one's there to enjoy it.
**[08:11] ---**
I need you to leave this to me.
**[08:14] ---**
You moron!
**[08:17] ---**
Oh my. Are they fighting?
**[08:20] ---**
They're always fighting. But this time
is a little more serious than usual.
**[08:26] ---**
Why can't we all work together
to fight like we've always done?!
**[08:31] ---**
Like always!
**[08:33] ---**
I'm not going to sacrifice you
just to win!
**[08:38] ---**
I can't allow that, Roka.
**[08:40] ---**
What?!
**[08:42] ---**
You really can be so thick.
**[08:45] ---**
You need to survive to look after
the woman you love.
**[08:52] ---**
You knew about us?
**[08:55] ---**
You're wrong! I'm not serious
or anything about this girl!
**[09:00] ---**
-"This girl"?!
-Yeah!
**[09:03] ---**
Wait! I didn't mean it like that!
**[09:06] ---**
Hmm.
**[09:07] ---**
So you weren't really serious?
**[09:10] ---**
Let me explain.
**[09:11] ---**
That's no good.
You need to take responsibility...
**[09:15] ---**
since you'll be a father.
**[09:23] ---**
W-Why you...
**[09:27] ---**
Sir Avan, you knew that I'm pregnant
with our child?
**[09:32] ---**
I hadn't even told Roka.
**[09:35] ---**
Roka can be quite awkward.
**[09:38] ---**
Even if he knew,
he'd still try to hide it.
**[09:41] ---**
He was always saying "I live by the sword"
or "I'll never fall in love with a girl."
**[09:49] ---**
I know he can be a handful,
but please look after him.
**[09:54] ---**
I believe a child born in war
deserves to live in peace.
**[10:02] ---**
Do give it a good name, Leira.
**[10:06] ---**
Sir Avan.
**[10:14] ---**
That's just who he is.
**[10:16] ---**
Matoriv!
**[10:18] ---**
He's going to risk his life
to protect one that will be born.
**[10:25] ---**
And he's one to talk about awkward.
**[10:28] ---**
He's just as thick as anyone.
**[10:32] ---**
Just leave him to me.
**[10:34] ---**
I don't have a family to mourn me.
**[10:37] ---**
I'll try to make sure Avan doesn't die.
**[10:40] ---**
I make it a point not to let women cry.
**[10:47] ---**
-Let's go, Brokeena.
-Oof!
**[11:03] ---**
CLICK
**[11:07] ---**
TIGER SHATTER FIST
**[11:12] ---**
I'm sorry, Grand Master, for dragging you
into such a perilous fight.
**[11:18] ---**
Don't you worry about me.
**[11:23] ---**
With my illness,
I don't have long anyways.
**[11:26] ---**
Not again.
**[11:28] ---**
I'm counting on you.
**[11:30] ---**
Just distract the Dark Lord.
Even an instant will do.
**[11:34] ---**
That's a feat only you, the best martial
artist in the world, can accomplish.
**[11:40] ---**
Am I famous or something?
**[11:43] ---**
Yeah. Like myself, you're one of the few
famous old geezers in the world.
**[11:55] ---**
I'll take care of the riffraff.
**[11:58] ---**
Good luck to you.
**[12:14] ---**
*My Strash and Sword Technique*
*are still incomplete.*
**[12:19] ---**
*This is the only way to obtain peace*
*here and now!*
**[12:36] ---**
Sizzle!
**[12:39] ---**
Kaswoosh!
**[12:43] ---**
Boom!
**[13:11] ---**
Secret Spell of Frozen Time!
**[13:21] ---**
*No!*
**[13:23] ---**
*I'm not yet strong enough to...*
**[13:56] ---**
*Hadlar and Avan both stood frozen,*
**[14:01] ---**
*not even blinking an eye.*
**[14:03] ---**
*For a period of over a year,*
*their time remained stopped.*
**[14:11] ---**
*And so, the Hero brought a brief peace*
*to the world.*
**[14:18] ---**
When you came to me seeking training,
**[14:22] ---**
I truly felt the hand of fate at work.
**[14:26] ---**
That's right.
**[14:27] ---**
The child born between Roka and Leira...
**[14:33] ---**
was you, Maam.
**[14:37] ---**
Grand Master...
**[14:39] ---**
*I see.*
**[14:41] ---**
*So the Grand Master*
*was a member of Master Avan's party.*
**[14:46] ---**
*I knew he was more than he seemed.*
**[14:49] ---**
Now I see.
**[14:51] ---**
If you were an ally of Avan's,
**[14:54] ---**
then it's no mystery that you know
this secret spell.
**[14:58] ---**
But Grand Master,
**[15:00] ---**
isn't that Secret Spell of Frozen Time
supposed to freeze its target?
**[15:06] ---**
If it's cast on him, then shouldn't
Mystvearn be immobile?
**[15:10] ---**
That's not it.
**[15:12] ---**
He's utilizing the power of
that Secret Spell for combat.
**[15:17] ---**
That's what I believe.
**[15:19] ---**
I'm not sure how he's doing it,
**[15:23] ---**
but he can still move while the Secret
Spell of Frozen Time is cast upon him.
**[15:30] ---**
His very time is frozen
**[15:33] ---**
and his body has,
as it were, become indestructible.
**[15:37] ---**
So he takes no damage and is immune
to any physical attack.
**[15:42] ---**
It's like still fighting while under
the effects of a Kaclang spell.
**[15:51] ---**
That's correct.
**[15:53] ---**
But don't you see?
**[15:56] ---**
You're declaring your own death sentence.
**[16:01] ---**
I can fight while my time is frozen.
**[16:05] ---**
That means...
that I am invincible.
**[16:11] ---**
*He's right!*
**[16:12] ---**
*An enemy who could still attack
under the effects of a Kaclang spell*
**[16:16] ---**
*would be unbeatable!*
**[16:18] ---**
Not to fear, Popp.
**[16:22] ---**
The spell that Matoriv passed down to you.
**[16:25] ---**
That is an exception.
**[16:27] ---**
Huh?!
**[16:28] ---**
*On that day,*
**[16:30] ---**
*Matoriv could do nothing*
*as he saw Avan sacrifice himself.*
**[16:35] ---**
*Wracked with guilt, the spell he created*
*for the final battle was...*
**[16:42] ---**
...The Extreme Annihilation Spell!
**[16:44] ---**
Medroa!
**[16:46] ---**
Yes.
**[16:48] ---**
You're just a dry leaf.
**[16:50] ---**
If grabbed, you can be torn.
**[16:53] ---**
If dodging is all you can do,
then Larhart would be a more worthy foe.
**[17:00] ---**
Be torn to shreds, clown!
**[17:03] ---**
Grand Master!
**[17:13] ---**
*An instant is all I need!*
**[17:15] ---**
*Give me back the strength I once had!*
**[17:20] ---**
*Here once again!*
*To save the next generation!*
**[17:32] ---**
*Oh wow!*
**[17:33] ---**
*If it wasn't Mystvearn,*
*that first strike would have ended it!*
**[17:38] ---**
*I never knew Grand Master
was this powerful at full strength!*
**[17:44] ---**
Popp!
**[17:45] ---**
I'm burning to go!
I won't miss this shot!
**[17:53] ---**
Popp!
**[17:55] ---**
They really were all amazing.
**[17:58] ---**
All of Master's old friends!
**[18:01] ---**
We're all here now thanks to
the great people who came before us!
**[18:07] ---**
If I can't hit this,
I ain't no Disciple of Avan!
**[18:13] ---**
I'll do it!
**[18:16] ---**
I'll hit him with this Medroa
even if it kills me!
**[18:23] ---**
*He's already back on his feet. That*
*tenacity is what makes a Disciple of Avan.*
**[18:34] ---**
Enough with your futile resistance!
**[18:40] ---**
Curse you!
**[18:48] ---**
*Okay!*
**[18:55] ---**
*Grand Master!*
**[18:59] ---**
Warrior Master Style
Earth Wyrm Eruption Strike!
**[19:05] ---**
Popp, now!
**[19:07] ---**
*That attack controls the ground!*
*The floor will explode, lifting Mystvearn!*
**[19:15] ---**
Okay!
**[19:25] ---**
It was a dud!
**[19:29] ---**
Grand Master!
**[19:30] ---**
I see.
**[19:32] ---**
It's possible that spell could defeat me.
**[19:37] ---**
I can only last
about a minute at full power.
**[19:42] ---**
Age certainly takes its toll.
**[19:47] ---**
It's even shorter
than when I fought Hadlar.
**[19:54] ---**
Your miracle plan
to turn the tide of battle... is over.
**[20:00] ---**
Or will you cast your spell
and sacrifice him?
**[20:04] ---**
Grand Master!
**[20:05] ---**
It doesn't matter, Popp. Cast the spell.
**[20:09] ---**
I don't have long to live anyways.
**[20:13] ---**
It's better than all of you dying!
**[20:18] ---**
I know that, Grand Master!
**[20:24] ---**
Popp!
**[20:26] ---**
Stop bluffing.
**[20:29] ---**
You disciples of justice
could never do that.
**[20:33] ---**
Yes I can!
**[20:35] ---**
I know I can now!
**[20:38] ---**
And this time...
**[20:41] ---**
we're going to let Grand Master
and Master enjoy the peace we've won!
**[20:48] ---**
What?
**[20:49] ---**
Here goes!
**[20:51] ---**
Medroa!
**[20:57] ---**
Zoom!
**[21:07] ---**
*He can't dodge that!*
**[21:08] ---**
*Hit him! Evaporate him!*
**[21:14] ---**
*We've won!*
**[21:45] ---**
Grand Master!
**[21:47] ---**
Popp!
**[21:49] ---**
They're gone!
**[22:11] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:11] ---**

MYST AND KILL
**[01:53] ---**
It's over.
**[02:00] ---**
Do what you want with us!
**[02:03] ---**
You won't resist?
**[02:06] ---**
Now that Popp is dead,
we have no way of defeating you.
**[02:12] ---**
We have no hope.
**[02:14] ---**
I can see just how central
that boy was to your group.
**[02:20] ---**
Come to think of it,
Kill respected him, too.
**[02:24] ---**
He said such people can become
the heart and soul of their team,
**[02:28] ---**
so they should be gotten rid of first.
**[02:31] ---**
His valiant efforts
are deserving of respect.
**[02:35] ---**
He even forced me to use the Phoenix Wing.
**[02:40] ---**
*Phoenix Wing?*
**[02:43] ---**
It's a high-speed palm strike
that reflects any spell.
**[02:48] ---**
Not even Medroa is an exception to this.
**[02:52] ---**
I couldn't have survived that attack
without using this forbidden skill.
**[02:57] ---**
*The Phoenix... The immortal bird...
That means...*
**[03:02] ---**
Kaiser Phoenix.
**[03:07] ---**
*I see! Then Mystvearn is Vearn's...*
**[03:12] ---**
*I've got it!
I know Mystvearn's true identity!*
**[03:16] ---**
*And if I'm right, it makes sense
that he's this powerful!*
**[03:22] ---**
Mercy is an insult. Kill me quickly.
**[03:26] ---**
But remember this,
Master Dai will kill you!
**[03:32] ---**
That's right.
**[03:33] ---**
The all-important Dai still remains.
**[03:37] ---**
I'll make it quick for you.
**[03:39] ---**
You can await Dai in the afterlife.
**[03:43] ---**
What?!
**[03:44] ---**
No matter how many times
Dai grows in power,
**[03:47] ---**
he can never kill Dark King Vearn.
**[03:52] ---**
Of course he can't.
**[03:53] ---**
Hm?
**[03:54] ---**
How could he?
**[03:56] ---**
Dai can't kill Vearn.
**[03:59] ---**
After all, the real Vearn...
**[04:02] ---**
is here!
**[04:03] ---**
Right before our very eyes!
**[04:06] ---**
Huh?
**[04:07] ---**
That's right, Mystvearn!
**[04:10] ---**
You're the real Dark King Vearn!
**[04:16] ---**
D-Don't be stupid!
**[04:19] ---**
You've all seen him together with
the Dark King numerous times yourself!
**[04:28] ---**
I knew it would be you, Hyunckel,
to be the first to realize the truth.
**[04:36] ---**
Ever since Mystvearn revealed his face,
I sensed a familiar presence.
**[04:43] ---**
It was none other than
Dark King Vearn's presence.
**[04:47] ---**
While his voice may be youthful,
**[04:51] ---**
his mannerisms and fighting style
all line up with Vearn's.
**[04:55] ---**
I suspect the reason Mystvearn
was forced to keep silent for years,
**[04:59] ---**
was because if someone
familiar with Vearn heard his voice,
**[05:03] ---**
they might realize the similarities
between the two.
**[05:08] ---**
*If the Dark King can't be silent,
then the shadow must.*
**[05:12] ---**
But that shadow was really...
**[05:14] ---**
Don't bother with the rest.
**[05:17] ---**
Let me just say that
you're mostly correct.
**[05:22] ---**
You can figure out the rest
after you're dead.
**[05:25] ---**
Oh come on. He's said that much.
Why not tell us the rest?
**[05:32] ---**
Oh!
**[05:34] ---**
You...
**[05:35] ---**
I'd like to hear more about who you are.
**[05:39] ---**
Kill.
**[05:40] ---**
Where's Avan?
**[05:44] ---**
He's dead.
**[05:47] ---**
No!
**[05:48] ---**
You can find his hand over that way.
**[05:52] ---**
It can't be! Please! No more, please!
**[05:55] ---**
Miss Maam!
**[05:56] ---**
Tragedy upon tragedy.
**[05:59] ---**
But more importantly, Kill,
what did you mean by that?
**[06:08] ---**
Mean by what?
**[06:10] ---**
To say something as absurd as
wanting to know who I am.
**[06:17] ---**
Over these centuries,
**[06:19] ---**
you've seen me fight
revealed like this a few times.
**[06:24] ---**
And I said to you then...
**[06:27] ---**
"Don't bother asking."
**[06:29] ---**
"Not even you will be spared if
you knew the true meaning of this face."
**[06:36] ---**
*I am no exception to that.*
**[06:39] ---**
*That's why, when I tried
to reveal this face before,*
**[06:44] ---**
*you threatened to kill me, didn't you?*
**[06:48] ---**
So why?
**[06:50] ---**
Don't you go forgetting either.
**[06:54] ---**
I may be obligated to help the Dark King,
but I'm not duty-bound to.
**[07:02] ---**
That's right.
**[07:03] ---**
Of all the Dark Army,
only you are different.
**[07:08] ---**
You are nearly equal
to Dark King Vearn himself.
**[07:13] ---**
I still remember
the day you first appeared before us.
**[07:28] ---**
So which... is King Vearn?
**[07:32] ---**
I am.
**[07:34] ---**
And who are you?
**[07:37] ---**
Killvearn... is what you can call me.
**[07:41] ---**
Killvearn?
**[07:44] ---**
Then you are of his...?
**[07:46] ---**
Indeed.
**[07:47] ---**
I am a messenger from one you know well.
**[07:52] ---**
My specialty is assassinations.
**[07:54] ---**
I have dressed this way
specifically for you.
**[07:59] ---**
As a gesture of friendship from him,
**[08:02] ---**
I have been sent as an aide
to help you in your plans.
**[08:09] ---**
Hm.
**[08:10] ---**
As an aide...
**[08:14] ---**
What a joke.
**[08:15] ---**
And if my plans should happen to fail,
**[08:20] ---**
you will immediately attempt
to assassinate me, will you not?
**[08:26] ---**
A watchdog over my plan
to destroy the Surface World.
**[08:30] ---**
Kill...vearn.
**[08:33] ---**
In other word, a coded name
meaning "Eliminate Vearn."
**[08:37] ---**
Interesting.
**[08:38] ---**
You are truly the god of the Underworld.
You are very gracious.
**[08:45] ---**
This one, like yourself,
is a powerful being of the Underworld.
**[08:49] ---**
He is my right-hand man.
**[08:51] ---**
*I was immediately impressed by you.*
**[08:55] ---**
*To appear before the Dark King
yet remain so calm.*
**[08:59] ---**
*Your brazen attitude was quite impressive.*
**[09:02] ---**
*Over the next few centuries,*
**[09:04] ---**
while our personalities were opposite,
we got along well.
**[09:09] ---**
But it turns out
I'd been lied to this whole time.
**[09:13] ---**
I understand what you mean.
**[09:16] ---**
You were never truly
a servant of Dark King Vearn.
**[09:20] ---**
Right.
**[09:22] ---**
*You merely worked with him
under orders from your master.*
**[09:27] ---**
*If I'm the real Vearn,*
**[09:29] ---**
*it would mean you've been
helping someone completely different.*
**[09:34] ---**
And it would mean
our strange friendship was also false.
**[09:39] ---**
Am I wrong?
**[09:41] ---**
Yes. You're wrong.
**[09:43] ---**
There is no mistake in your aid to him,
**[09:47] ---**
and neither is there to our friendship.
**[09:50] ---**
Then why don't you just reveal
your secret to us here, Mystvearn?
**[10:11] ---**
What was that for?!
**[10:13] ---**
You are not the Reaper!
**[10:15] ---**
The official name of Mystvearn
was given to me after Kill arrived.
**[10:22] ---**
He doesn't call me Mystvearn!
**[10:25] ---**
He calls me by my old name of Myst!
**[10:30] ---**
Reveal yourself, faker!
**[10:37] ---**
Whoops. That was a mistake.
**[10:41] ---**
I overlooked a rudimentary thing
like what you call each other.
**[10:46] ---**
You!
**[10:47] ---**
Avan!
**[10:49] ---**
A Morph spell!
**[10:50] ---**
Huh?!
**[10:51] ---**
Using the Transformation Spell Morph,
he was pretending to be Killvearn!
**[10:56] ---**
That's right.
**[10:58] ---**
I came to join you, but Hyunckel was
in the middle of solving the mystery.
**[11:03] ---**
So I thought I'd take Killvearn's form
and have the secret revealed.
**[11:08] ---**
After all, he said it himself...
**[11:10] ---**
he may be obligated to help the Dark King,
but he isn't duty-bound to.
**[11:15] ---**
Where's Kill? What happened to him?
**[11:17] ---**
Seeing as I'm here, there only one answer.
**[11:22] ---**
The Reaper... was the one who died.
**[11:28] ---**
MEDROA
**[11:33] ---**
REAPER FLUTE
**[11:37] ---**
The Reaper... was the one who died.
**[11:40] ---**
If Dai defeats him then that's that.
**[11:45] ---**
I may be obligated to help him,
but I'm not duty-bound to.
**[11:49] ---**
I'm not like Myst.
**[11:55] ---**
I'd like to hear
just how you're not like him.
**[12:08] ---**
Just his glove?! And it's full of sand?!
**[12:25] ---**
Avan!
**[12:27] ---**
It seems that this surprised even you.
**[12:30] ---**
This is magic sand that I concocted.
**[12:33] ---**
I uses Lunar Zoombloom
making it a marker against enemies.
**[12:38] ---**
I can use the Zip spell to catch up
to where this is applied.
**[12:43] ---**
And it works even if
a dimension is closed off.
**[12:47] ---**
You'd realize if I threw it on you,
**[12:50] ---**
so I snuck some in my glove
and grabbed your leg.
**[12:56] ---**
*You may have intended to slice my wrist,*
**[12:59] ---**
*but I retracted my hand in that instant,*
**[13:01] ---**
*and successfully got my glove
and the sand back to this dimension.*
**[13:06] ---**
It was the last gamble I could make
when grabbed by the Judge.
**[13:11] ---**
It's not your cheap parlour tricks
that surprise me!
**[13:15] ---**
Why?! Why are you still alive?!
**[13:17] ---**
After the Judge's Megante!
**[13:20] ---**
I don't know.
**[13:21] ---**
I can only call it a rare miracle.
**[13:24] ---**
I may be the only human who's suffered
a Megante spell twice in their lifetime.
**[13:29] ---**
But since I've survived, all that remains
is to use what life I have against you!
**[13:35] ---**
Here goes, Killvearn!
**[13:37] ---**
Wave Strike!
**[13:39] ---**
*He's fast!*
**[13:42] ---**
*He should have sustained heavy damage!
And yet he remains so strong!*
**[13:47] ---**
*I've been called the Reaper,
but for the first time, I'm scared!*
**[13:53] ---**
*I've used all the traps I can against him,
so how is he still alive?!*
**[14:01] ---**
Well?
**[14:02] ---**
You've used all your Phantom Razors,
and your Judge is gone.
**[14:05] ---**
I doubt you've prepared any other traps!
**[14:10] ---**
This time, it's really over!
**[14:18] ---**
Don't worry about me.
**[14:20] ---**
I can survive even with my limbs
or even my torso severed.
**[14:24] ---**
I'm neither mad nor suicidal,
so any concern is unnecessary!
**[14:35] ---**
*What is that sphere?!*
**[14:39] ---**
One arm should be enough
to finish you off.
**[14:43] ---**
I never like to harm myself, so to make me
use this is quite a feat, Avan, the Hero!
**[14:49] ---**
You're one of the few men
King Vearn feared.
**[14:53] ---**
I offer a final attack worthy of you.
**[14:57] ---**
It's called...
**[14:59] ---**
Incinerating Inferno!
**[15:02] ---**
*What an intense fireball!*
**[15:05] ---**
My blood is the same composition
as Underworld magma!
**[15:09] ---**
Once lit, it becomes
a blaze of scorching heat!
**[15:14] ---**
*That's his true ace in the hole!*
**[15:17] ---**
*I doubt it can be stopped or dodged.*
**[15:21] ---**
*In that case,
I'll use my greatest attack against it!*
**[15:25] ---**
Avan Strash, is it?
**[15:27] ---**
Hardly a threat!
**[15:29] ---**
It can't compare with this attack!
**[15:33] ---**
Says the man fighting seriously
for the first time in his life!
**[15:38] ---**
I won't allow insult!
**[15:40] ---**
I control the life and death of all!
I am the god of death!
**[15:49] ---**
Fool!
**[15:53] ---**
Beautiful! I was right
to use this attack to finish you!
**[16:04] ---**
It can't be!
**[16:05] ---**
I guess you should
stick to doing things you're good at!
**[16:09] ---**
Farewell, Reaper!
**[16:11] ---**
Avan Strash!
**[16:15] ---**
*This is impossible!*
**[16:18] ---**
*How could he survive
my Incinerating Inferno?*
**[16:21] ---**
*How?!*
**[16:34] ---**
*Hadlar?!*
**[16:35] ---**
*Back then...*
**[16:37] ---**
*Hadlar's ashes
from when he died in my arms...*
**[16:42] ---**
*Did they protect me from the Megante
and Incinerating Inferno?*
**[16:49] ---**
*Hadlar, did you protect me?*
**[17:07] ---**
Hadlar saved me through such a miracle.
**[17:12] ---**
I guess he really did despise
what you did, Reaper.
**[17:17] ---**
How dare you!
**[17:19] ---**
How could something as nebulous
as a miracle defeat me?!
**[17:24] ---**
Hadlar's body was made of Superior Being
cells that could emit Dark Fire Energy.
**[17:28] ---**
They remained as ashes,
shielding you from heat!
**[17:33] ---**
That's it. That's the only explanation!
**[17:36] ---**
A miracle... A miracle could never...!
**[17:41] ---**
*When I used Avan Strash,*
**[17:43] ---**
*the residual blaze around me
caught on to his body.*
**[17:51] ---**
*It ignited the magma blood
that flows in his veins.*
**[17:55] ---**
This is bad! This is very bad!
**[17:59] ---**
Crack! Crackle! Kacrack!
**[18:04] ---**
It's no good! Not for me alone!
**[18:11] ---**
Please! I'm begging you! Help me!
**[18:16] ---**
Killvearn's going to be reduced to ashes!
**[18:19] ---**
I'll tell him not to be bad anymore!
**[18:24] ---**
Please! I'm begging you!
**[18:42] ---**
Avan...
**[18:45] ---**
Are you okay?!
**[18:46] ---**
Y-Yes. I think I am, Piroro.
**[18:51] ---**
I guess I should thank Avan.
**[18:54] ---**
Yeah. Exactly!
**[18:59] ---**
No thank you.
**[19:01] ---**
Sorry, but I don't fully trust you.
**[19:05] ---**
I've never encountered an enemy
so cruel and lacking of merit.
**[19:10] ---**
That's cold.
**[19:12] ---**
I insist you accept these.
**[19:15] ---**
You seemed to enjoy my Phantom Razors!
**[19:22] ---**
Yes! Yes!
**[19:26] ---**
With Piroro, I can restock my blades.
**[19:29] ---**
And as you're aware,
only I know where these 13 blades are.
**[19:35] ---**
And now the tables have turned!
**[19:37] ---**
I told you.
**[19:39] ---**
I was 100% certain this would happen.
**[19:43] ---**
That's why I already laid a trap for you.
**[19:48] ---**
What?!
**[19:49] ---**
If you want to keep
the life that I spared...
**[19:52] ---**
then don't move.
**[19:54] ---**
He's lying! It has to be a bluff!
**[19:58] ---**
Indeed.
**[20:00] ---**
You? Laid a trap? For me?
**[20:04] ---**
Don't make me laugh!
**[20:18] ---**
A Phantom Razor?
**[20:22] ---**
Why is it here?
**[20:24] ---**
That was one from
the other dimension that was stuck in me.
**[20:29] ---**
It came back to this dimension with me.
**[20:32] ---**
It was the 14th invisible blade
to the 13 you released.
**[20:39] ---**
That's why you didn't know where it was.
**[20:42] ---**
You planted it when you saved me.
**[20:46] ---**
I got sloppy...
**[21:02] ---**
It's no good. He can't be healed.
**[21:05] ---**
Even immortal, no living creature
can survive without its head.
**[21:11] ---**
The loser loses their head.
**[21:14] ---**
It's cruel, but those were his rules.
**[21:18] ---**
Darn it! Darn it!
**[21:24] ---**
Then Kill...
**[21:26] ---**
was defeated?
**[21:28] ---**
That little familiar of his
can't do anything.
**[21:32] ---**
Killvearn, the Reaper is dead.
**[21:36] ---**
And now, thanks to what you've said,
**[21:40] ---**
I know your real identity, Mystvearn.
**[21:45] ---**
As well as Vearn,
the Dark King's greatest secret.
**[21:52] ---**
What is that?

through the Dark King's greatest secret,*

VEARN'S TRUTH
**[02:20] ---**
His corpse?
**[02:21] ---**
No. He's still alive.
**[02:24] ---**
Huh?!
**[02:27] ---**
But he can't fight anymore.
**[02:30] ---**
He's barely alive.
**[02:41] ---**
I couldn't withstand it.
**[02:45] ---**
Not even with my Staff of Edacity.
**[03:03] ---**
Actually, it appears this spear
is all that stood between me and death.
**[03:09] ---**
How impressive.
**[03:12] ---**
Truly.
**[03:18] ---**
I almost died trying to test you.
**[03:23] ---**
I thought I had a firm grasp
of your abilities.
**[03:26] ---**
But you went above and beyond
my expectations.
**[03:30] ---**
I can't have you kill me like this.
**[03:35] ---**
After all, this body is the base of me.
**[03:40] ---**
The base... of you?
**[03:43] ---**
That's right.
**[03:46] ---**
To be concise,
**[03:48] ---**
the man before us
both is and is not Dark King Vearn.
**[03:54] ---**
After all, the Secret Spell of Frozen Time
isn't a spell you can cast on yourself.
**[04:00] ---**
And it can't be successfully cast
without the highest levels of Magic Power.
**[04:07] ---**
In my case, because I wasn't
strong enough,
**[04:10] ---**
not only was I was caught in the spell,
but Hadlar was freed in about a year.
**[04:17] ---**
And so my friends and I gathered again,
**[04:22] ---**
and I completed the Avan Style
Sword Technique and defeated Hadlar.
**[04:28] ---**
But that's beside the point.
**[04:31] ---**
Basically, the only one who could properly
cast the Secret Spell of Frozen Time
**[04:37] ---**
is none other than
Dark King Vearn himself.
**[04:43] ---**
And Mystvearn never really existed
in the first place.
**[04:50] ---**
That's obvious from what he just told us.
**[04:57] ---**
Myst is a powerful monster
of the Underworld.
**[05:01] ---**
Entrusted with his master Vearn's body,
or a copy of it,
**[05:06] ---**
he fused with it to create Mystvearn.
**[05:11] ---**
Any creature under the Secret Spell of
Frozen time becomes an immovable statue.
**[05:18] ---**
But if there were a monster that could
merge with that body and control it,
**[05:25] ---**
it would create a super warrior
with an immortal body.
**[05:30] ---**
The monster with that power is Myst.
**[05:34] ---**
That's you.
**[05:41] ---**
His voice changed!
**[05:43] ---**
So this is the real Myst's voice?
**[05:49] ---**
You're correct, Avan.
**[05:52] ---**
This body is King Vearn's.
King Vearn's original body.
**[05:59] ---**
King Vearn entrusted me with it,
**[06:02] ---**
and ordered me to hide its identity.
**[06:06] ---**
At the same time, he allowed me
to use its power to fight when necessary.
**[06:13] ---**
Obviously, I require
King Vearn's permission to do so.
**[06:18] ---**
I am the black Myst
that covers King Vearn's true face.
**[06:24] ---**
I am Mystvearn!
**[06:29] ---**
*Mystvearn.*
**[06:32] ---**
Vearn?!
**[06:34] ---**
Oh! King Vearn!
**[06:37] ---**
Forgive me, King Vearn.
**[06:39] ---**
Kill was defeated and I revealed your...
**[06:44] ---**
*It matters not.*
**[06:46] ---**
*Let us admit what happened.*
**[06:50] ---**
*Their power was greater
than we anticipated.*
**[06:56] ---**
*I was almost killed by Dai.*
**[06:59] ---**
*It seems the time has come where I must
take back what I have placed in your care.*
**[07:06] ---**
My king. I shall return it.
**[07:09] ---**
The true body of Dark King Vearn
that is unrivaled in the Trio of Worlds.
**[07:29] ---**
He's gone!
**[07:51] ---**
In order to live a life
as close to eternal as possible,
**[07:57] ---**
I divided my body into two.
**[08:06] ---**
This base body retains
my wisdom and Magic Power.
**[08:11] ---**
And my youth and strength
went into this other body.
**[08:17] ---**
With every full solar eclipse,
I recast the Secret Spell of Frozen Time,
**[08:23] ---**
and keep my body sealed at its peak.
**[08:28] ---**
And now, the bodies become one again.
**[08:38] ---**
How many millennia has it been?
**[08:40] ---**
I forgot long ago.
**[09:03] ---**
THE ADVENT OF VEARN,
THE TRUE DARK KING
**[09:15] ---**
This...
**[09:17] ---**
will no longer be needed.
**[09:19] ---**
Lon Beruk's Staff of Edacity
has served its purpose well.
**[09:25] ---**
*I had him make it for my protection.*
**[09:28] ---**
*For when I took on a weaker, elderly form.*
**[09:32] ---**
But now that this body is whole,
I have all that I need.
**[09:49] ---**
Hmm.
**[09:50] ---**
I got my complete power back so quickly.
Things may take some getting used to.
**[09:57] ---**
I may go a bit overboard.
**[10:05] ---**
It looks like my hypothesis was correct.
**[10:09] ---**
Vearn has now regained his original body.
**[10:13] ---**
No wonder we lost.
**[10:15] ---**
We were fighting against someone
**[10:17] ---**
who you could consider to be
Dark King Vearn himself.
**[10:21] ---**
Hah! What a joke!
**[10:24] ---**
Showing off when
it's not really your own power.
**[10:28] ---**
It was just a parasite
who couldn't do anything on its own.
**[10:32] ---**
I won't forgive insult.
**[10:35] ---**
Just its voice?
**[10:36] ---**
No. It's here!
**[10:40] ---**
I can't stand insults of that nature.
**[10:45] ---**
That's... That's your...?!
**[10:48] ---**
That's right.
**[10:59] ---**
This is my true form.
**[11:03] ---**
A gaseous life form?
**[11:05] ---**
No. It's better to think of it
as a mass of Dark Aura.
**[11:11] ---**
It was possessing Vearn's body
with that gaseous body.
**[11:16] ---**
Normally, it was covering his body,
**[11:19] ---**
but when fighting, it broke that seal
and entered the body.
**[11:26] ---**
*What this ghost thing did
to Popp and Grand Master...*
**[11:33] ---**
Maam!
**[11:44] ---**
Miss Maam!
**[11:50] ---**
I have no physical form,
so I am immune to all physical attacks.
**[11:56] ---**
Lunge at me carelessly and look!
**[12:01] ---**
This is what happens to you.
**[12:05] ---**
I am a mass of Dark Aura.
**[12:08] ---**
I'm something between a ghost
and a gaseous life form.
**[12:13] ---**
I was born from the dark thoughts
**[12:16] ---**
of thousands of years
of battle in the Underworld.
**[12:21] ---**
With my instinct to fight on
even without a body,
**[12:25] ---**
eventually I was able to
control other living creatures.
**[12:31] ---**
Just like this.
**[12:35] ---**
Once I capture a creature, its soul
is erased and then it becomes mine.
**[12:41] ---**
In the Underworld I moved from one strong
creature to the next, growing in power.
**[12:48] ---**
That was all I could do.
**[12:51] ---**
So that's it.
**[12:53] ---**
The reason you never lost respect
for strong men like Hadlar and Baran,
**[12:59] ---**
was because you had no body of your own.
**[13:03] ---**
That's right.
**[13:04] ---**
While I can become strong
simply by stealing the body of others,
**[13:10] ---**
I cannot grow strong
through my own efforts.
**[13:13] ---**
Anyone who could do that, I respected.
**[13:18] ---**
I envied them.
**[13:23] ---**
Don't look at me
with such pity, Crocodine.
**[13:28] ---**
Thanks to this accursed body,
I was able to meet King Vearn.
**[13:32] ---**
And King Vearn told me,
**[13:35] ---**
"It was your destiny from birth
to serve me."
**[13:41] ---**
King Vearn needed my abilities.
**[13:43] ---**
I needed a great master like King Vearn.
**[13:48] ---**
I must continue to work for King Vearn!
**[13:55] ---**
Stop!
**[13:59] ---**
You can have my body!
**[14:01] ---**
Get out of Miss Maam!
**[14:05] ---**
-Move.
-Huh?
**[14:27] ---**
TIGER SHATTER FIST
**[14:32] ---**
INCINERATING INFERNO
**[14:40] ---**
Hmm. Not a bad body.
**[14:43] ---**
This is better than I thought.
**[14:45] ---**
Maam's body has been taken over!
**[14:48] ---**
I'd suggest not holding back.
**[14:52] ---**
That is, if you are prepared
to attack one of your own.
**[14:57] ---**
Don't underestimate me!
**[14:58] ---**
One cannot fight if afraid of losses!
**[15:01] ---**
You can't be as strong as
when you used Vearn's body.
**[15:05] ---**
It doesn't matter what happens to her
if we can eliminate Master Dai's enemy.
**[15:09] ---**
Wait! You might hurt Maam!
**[15:14] ---**
Myst! The same goes for you!
**[15:16] ---**
Taking a hostage like that
isn't something befitting of you, is it?
**[15:22] ---**
A hostage?
**[15:25] ---**
Please don't underestimate me.
**[15:27] ---**
If you think I'm using this girl
as a shield, then you're gravely mistaken.
**[15:32] ---**
This little girl's body, in my hands...
**[15:36] ---**
can do this.
**[15:52] ---**
Oh no!
**[16:14] ---**
*Is this really Maam?
She's strong! Too strong!*
**[16:20] ---**
See what I said?
**[16:21] ---**
I was warning you
when I told you not to hold back.
**[16:26] ---**
This girl normally suppresses her power
out of concern for her opponents.
**[16:32] ---**
So when I use her power to the fullest
without hesitation...
**[16:38] ---**
this is the result.
**[16:44] ---**
*At this rate Maam will...*
**[16:54] ---**
How dare you! I'll kill you!
**[16:58] ---**
It's a shame for her...
**[17:01] ---**
but with my Aura Knuckle,
I can blow Myst away with her!
**[17:05] ---**
So you're finally serious.
**[17:07] ---**
Don't, Hym!
**[17:08] ---**
Your punch will pulverize Maam, too!
**[17:12] ---**
Of course it will! That's how it works!
**[17:16] ---**
Sorry, but understand that
it's necessary for victory.
**[17:20] ---**
There's no attack that can
conveniently defeat Myst alone.
**[17:25] ---**
No, there is!
**[17:32] ---**
*That's it! Air attacks!*
**[17:37] ---**
*But even with an Air attack,*
**[17:39] ---**
*to leave Maam unharmed
and only defeat Myst is a difficult feat.*
**[17:45] ---**
I would do it.
**[17:52] ---**
If I could move normally,
I'd do it myself.
**[17:59] ---**
*Maam is a Disciple of Avan.
She believes in the power of light*
**[18:03] ---**
*and the legendary skills
of the Hero more than anyone.*
**[18:11] ---**
I would put my faith in the light!
**[18:16] ---**
*This is what it means
to learn from one's own student.*
**[18:20] ---**
Let me use that.
**[18:26] ---**
*The Avan Style Spear Technique,
Air Strike!*
**[18:35] ---**
Will that work?
**[18:37] ---**
I don't know. I don't know, but...
**[18:40] ---**
*We're counting on you, Sir Avan!*
**[18:59] ---**
She ran!
**[19:01] ---**
Air Strike!
**[19:07] ---**
Did it work?!
**[19:16] ---**
She's back to normal!
**[19:18] ---**
Then it worked?!
**[19:19] ---**
Right before I hit, it left Maam's body!
**[19:23] ---**
It should still be nearby!
**[19:27] ---**
Dammit! Where the hell did it go?!
**[19:31] ---**
Its next target...
**[19:35] ---**
...is none other than...
**[19:41] ---**
you, Hyunckel!
**[19:42] ---**
I was after you from the start!
**[19:47] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[19:48] ---**
It went after the wounded
and immobile Hyunckel!
**[19:52] ---**
But why?!
**[19:54] ---**
We have to save Hyunckel!
**[19:56] ---**
One more time!
**[19:59] ---**
Air Strike!
**[20:05] ---**
My Air Strike was reflected?!
**[20:12] ---**
Hyunckel's body has begun emitting
incredibly powerful Dark Aura!
**[20:17] ---**
What?!
**[20:18] ---**
So that's what reflected
that light attack!
**[20:24] ---**
That's right, my friends!
This is why I chose Hyunckel!
**[20:29] ---**
I never cared about
that little girl's body!
**[20:33] ---**
Now that I've reached this point
**[20:36] ---**
it doesn't matter
if even his entire body is damaged.
**[20:39] ---**
I don't feel any pain, after all.
**[20:42] ---**
First it was Maam, now you plan
to use Hyunckel's body until it's ruined!
**[20:47] ---**
You fiend!
**[20:49] ---**
No. This body is the last!
**[20:52] ---**
I've prepared it specifically
for when I return King Vearn's body.
**[20:59] ---**
I came to the decision to make
this body my own over a decade ago!
**[21:12] ---**
*This Aura! It rivals the Aura it exuded
when it fused with Vearn's body!*
**[21:21] ---**
Witness the birth of the new Dark Warrior!
**[21:25] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[21:26] ---**
Someone help the others!
**[21:29] ---**
Right!
**[21:38] ---**
*Myst...*
**[21:39] ---**
Hyunckel! Right now I'm moving
through your consciousness.
**[21:45] ---**
I can hear your inner voice well.
**[21:48] ---**
But that will be over soon.
**[21:51] ---**
Your soul will vanish
and this body will be mine.
**[22:10] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:10] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:20] ---**

THE DEMONIC GUARD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH
**[01:54] ---**
*So you became my teacher of darkness
to raise me to be your perfect body!*
**[02:01] ---**
Hah! You're too late in realizing that!
**[02:04] ---**
*When I found you
after you had left Avan, I had an idea.*
**[02:11] ---**
*No matter how strong it is,
this body is still King Vearn's.*
**[02:16] ---**
*It's not mine.*
**[02:18] ---**
*Even if I find a replacement, it might
not be compatible with my dark power.*
**[02:24] ---**
*But if I were to raise one from scratch*
**[02:28] ---**
*and train it to use the greatest
dark power, it would be the perfect spare.*
**[02:35] ---**
*Should the time come
to return King Vearn's body,*
**[02:39] ---**
*it would be the perfect weapon for me.*
**[02:43] ---**
*A weapon?*
**[02:44] ---**
*All I was to you was a weapon.*
**[02:49] ---**
That's right. You're my weapon. My tool.
**[02:52] ---**
There were times when I considered killing
you, but I'm glad I kept you alive.
**[02:58] ---**
In the end, you served me well!
**[03:06] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[03:09] ---**
I've found it! Your soul!
**[03:13] ---**
Hyunckel, now you will die.
**[03:16] ---**
Unlike that girl, the erasure of your soul
won't be temporary.
**[03:22] ---**
This soul will be disintegrated
and you will become a living puppet!
**[03:27] ---**
Then, at last, we will become one!
**[03:30] ---**
My spirit and your body will create
a warrior that will rival Mystvearn!
**[03:37] ---**
Consider it an honor! You get to be
a successor to King Vearn!
**[03:46] ---**
This is...
**[03:49] ---**
Aura of Light?!
**[03:52] ---**
Hyunckel, you focused Aura of Light
into your own soul?!
**[03:58] ---**
*I couldn't move well anyways,
so this was all I could do.*
**[04:05] ---**
But you couldn't have gathered
this much power in an instant!
**[04:10] ---**
*Not unless you knew I would possess you!
How did you know?!*
**[04:18] ---**
I just had a feeling.
**[04:21] ---**
You were certain to choose me.
**[04:26] ---**
Hyunckel!
**[04:38] ---**
-Hyunckel!
-Are you okay?!
**[04:39] ---**
Where's Myst?!
**[04:47] ---**
He died...
**[04:49] ---**
inside of me.
**[04:52] ---**
*So the never-ending struggle between
master and student of darkness has ended.*
**[04:57] ---**
*He should be happy.*
**[05:00] ---**
*He got to die in the perfect body
that he raised over the years.*
**[05:13] ---**
Master.
**[05:15] ---**
What am I... to you?
**[05:21] ---**
Isn't it obvious?
**[05:24] ---**
You're my pride.
**[05:47] ---**
Why?! Why won't you attack?!
**[05:50] ---**
Isn't that supposed to be
the ultimate body?!
**[05:53] ---**
Just wait.
**[06:01] ---**
Master.
**[06:03] ---**
You're awake, Maam.
**[06:06] ---**
Where's Myst?!
**[06:08] ---**
Don't worry. It's gone from this world.
**[06:11] ---**
You banished it, didn't you, Master?
**[06:14] ---**
-By driving it from my body.
-Huh?
**[06:20] ---**
Uh, ahem, something like that.
**[06:23] ---**
Of course, I couldn't have done it
without everyone's help.
**[06:32] ---**
*You'd rather not let her know
about your dark connection with Myst.*
**[06:38] ---**
*Hyunckel...*
**[06:39] ---**
*I can tell just how important
Maam is to you.*
**[06:43] ---**
*I'm well aware.*
**[06:46] ---**
But...
**[06:48] ---**
But Popp...
**[06:51] ---**
Popp and Grand Master were killed by Myst.
**[06:56] ---**
Uh...
**[07:16] ---**
Ah, you're awake, Maam.
**[07:21] ---**
Oh!
**[07:25] ---**
Hm?
**[07:26] ---**
What the hell are you doing here?
**[07:28] ---**
Can't you tell? We're healing.
It's healing time.
**[07:35] ---**
Before I disguised myself as Killvearn,
I rescued them from the Medroa spell.
**[07:41] ---**
*I left their unconscious bodies behind
and put on my disguise,*
**[07:45] ---**
*but with all the excitement,
I never got a chance to explain.*
**[07:49] ---**
It looks like they just woke up, too.
**[07:53] ---**
It's not like they meant to worry you...
**[07:56] ---**
Uh, Maam, you're not listening.
**[08:01] ---**
Maam? Maam?
**[08:03] ---**
What are you being all prickly for?
**[08:06] ---**
Wait. Are you thinking,
"I should be the one to heal Popp!"
**[08:10] ---**
Is that it?
**[08:17] ---**
You idiot!
**[08:20] ---**
Maam, calm down!
**[08:21] ---**
We understand, but...!
**[08:23] ---**
Oh dear. And after I healed him, too.
**[08:27] ---**
Are you sure she still doesn't have
some residual evil in her?
**[08:31] ---**
Nah. Those two are always like that.
**[08:35] ---**
But it's always Popp's fault.
**[08:39] ---**
-Be that as it may, Captain...
-Hm?
**[08:43] ---**
It looks like Medicinal Herbs
don't work on me.
**[08:47] ---**
Can't you cast any Heal-type magic?
**[08:49] ---**
Ahem! I cannot!
**[08:54] ---**
Okay! Let's go help Master Dai!
Are you ready?!
**[08:59] ---**
Excuse me...
**[09:01] ---**
I'm not ready.
**[09:06] ---**
Good grief.
**[09:07] ---**
Hey Maam.
**[09:09] ---**
I mean... I was so worried.
**[09:13] ---**
He's always so thick.
**[09:15] ---**
That was a little violent
for trying to hide your relief.
**[09:19] ---**
Come on! Get up already!
**[09:21] ---**
A Heal spell!
**[09:24] ---**
Cast it yourself!
**[09:25] ---**
Not only him, but anyone with major damage
should either stay here or head back.
**[09:31] ---**
No. After all this, there's no going back.
**[09:35] ---**
Not to steal Hyunckel's line,
but I want to see this battle through.
**[09:39] ---**
Even if it costs you your life?
**[09:42] ---**
To be honest, I'm scared to go on.
**[09:45] ---**
Even as Mystvearn's body,
Vearn's power was near perfect.
**[09:51] ---**
Up there, he now has the elder body's
Magic Power and intellect as well.
**[09:57] ---**
I know how terrifying
the bodies were apart,
**[10:00] ---**
so I'd honestly rather not
face them together.
**[10:05] ---**
Then why go?
**[10:07] ---**
I could ask you the same, Larhart.
**[10:12] ---**
You couldn't do a thing against Mystvearn.
**[10:16] ---**
Knowing there's someone even stronger,
why do you still go?
**[10:21] ---**
A foolish question.
**[10:23] ---**
Even if I can't do anything, it doesn't
matter so long as Master Dai wins.
**[10:29] ---**
To die for that cause is my duty
as leader of the Dragon Masters.
**[10:34] ---**
If I am but a shield for Master Dai,
then so be it.
**[10:37] ---**
That alone makes going worth it.
**[10:41] ---**
Well there you go.
**[10:42] ---**
Then you're the same as us.
**[10:46] ---**
No one here believes that
they can actually face the Dark King.
**[10:53] ---**
But we've made up our minds.
**[10:55] ---**
Win or lose, we're still going.
**[11:01] ---**
Because... Dai's up there!
**[11:11] ---**
The more shields there are, the better.
**[11:15] ---**
Good point.
**[11:19] ---**
Let's go.
**[11:21] ---**
To Dai!
**[11:28] ---**
GRAND CROSS
**[11:33] ---**
GIGA STRASH
**[11:42] ---**
It should take about five seconds.
**[11:45] ---**
Huh?
**[11:45] ---**
Five... four... three...
two... one... zero.
**[11:58] ---**
What is it, Dai?!
**[12:01] ---**
I'm... I'm healing! My body's healing!
**[12:05] ---**
What?!
**[12:09] ---**
You should be fully healed now.
**[12:11] ---**
Was that Leona's Fullheal spell?!
**[12:14] ---**
That's right.
**[12:16] ---**
The Fullheal spell cast on you while
you were unaffected by Heal-type magic...
**[12:21] ---**
it has finally taken effect.
**[12:24] ---**
I thought you would revert soon,
and I was right.
**[12:30] ---**
When fighting beyond your limits
with Aura similar to Dark Aura,
**[12:34] ---**
sometimes such backlashes
to the body can occur.
**[12:38] ---**
Weak beings can even die from it.
**[12:42] ---**
It can vary,
**[12:44] ---**
but you can estimate when someone will
be restored from their eyes and skin tone.
**[12:50] ---**
Why did you wait for that to happen?!
**[12:54] ---**
It's obvious.
**[12:56] ---**
So he could fight with me at full power!
**[13:01] ---**
What?!
**[13:05] ---**
You're quite perceptive, Dai.
**[13:08] ---**
It's been a while
since I've used this body.
**[13:11] ---**
Crushing an enemy not at their best
would be utterly boring.
**[13:17] ---**
If we're going to fight, I'd prefer it be
after you were fully healed.
**[13:25] ---**
Don't insult us!
Are you trying to show off?!
**[13:28] ---**
Such threats won't work on us!
**[13:34] ---**
*What's wrong with me? I can't speak.*
**[13:37] ---**
*All he did was glare at me
and it's like my body's frozen!*
**[13:42] ---**
I'm not trying to threaten
or show off, Princess.
**[13:48] ---**
I genuinely look forward to fighting Dai.
**[13:53] ---**
The Secret Spell of Frozen Time is broken.
**[13:56] ---**
Until the next full solar eclipse
in a few centuries,
**[14:00] ---**
I'm stuck in this form.
**[14:04] ---**
You've taken a few centuries
of my immortal time.
**[14:08] ---**
If you don't pay the price,
then I'll have been robbed.
**[14:13] ---**
You are obligated to amuse me
as best as you can.
**[14:18] ---**
*He's pure evil!*
**[14:23] ---**
I kind of understand what he means.
**[14:25] ---**
Dai, don't be stupid! Don't listen to him!
**[14:31] ---**
Now that you're in that form,
you're stronger than before, right?
**[14:35] ---**
Of course.
**[14:37] ---**
Much, much more so.
**[14:42] ---**
Being that strong in this world
is just boring.
**[14:47] ---**
It's not that I enjoy fighting,
**[14:51] ---**
but I kind of understand how that feels.
**[14:55] ---**
Dai...
**[14:57] ---**
You're like me, Dai.
**[14:59] ---**
Don't pretend otherwise.
**[15:01] ---**
Descended from warriors,
you have the blood of battle.
**[15:05] ---**
You can try to hide it,
but your true nature reveals itself.
**[15:10] ---**
Child of a Dragon who was foolishly
drawn to humans...
**[15:14] ---**
I shall tear off that mask you hide behind
and make you experience hell!
**[15:21] ---**
Leona, get away!
**[15:24] ---**
It's okay.
**[15:26] ---**
No matter what, I'm still me.
**[15:28] ---**
I'm everyone's Dai.
**[15:55] ---**
As I've already said, I haven't fought
in this body in thousands of years.
**[16:00] ---**
I can't hold back,
so it might be over rather quickly.
**[16:04] ---**
I hope you'll forgive me if it is.
**[16:07] ---**
Grandiose talk before a battle
isn't my style!
**[16:13] ---**
Zapple!
**[16:25] ---**
Oh?
**[16:27] ---**
*That's Giga Strash!*
**[16:35] ---**
This is the most powerful attack I can do!
**[16:41] ---**
Correct!
**[16:43] ---**
I do enjoy that about you.
**[16:46] ---**
You're bold and rational.
**[16:48] ---**
While you can appear reckless,
you use the most logical attacks.
**[16:55] ---**
*To see how strong he is...*
**[16:58] ---**
*To know our difference in strength,
using my strongest attack is the best way.*
**[17:05] ---**
*And this attack takes time to prepare,
so it's difficult to use in a close match.*
**[17:12] ---**
*This is a head-on approach!*
**[17:15] ---**
Then I should show you
a skill worthy of your attack.
**[17:32] ---**
Impressive that you instantly understood
the danger of this stance.
**[17:37] ---**
It's called the Demonic Guard
of Heaven and Earth.
**[17:40] ---**
Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth?
**[17:43] ---**
*To my eyes it just looks like
he's taken a simple stance.*
**[17:48] ---**
*But there's no way it can be that simple.*
**[17:51] ---**
*Just look at how Dai is sweating!*
**[17:55] ---**
And now let our greatest skills clash.
**[17:59] ---**
Which of us will fall?
**[18:04] ---**
What's wrong, Dai?
**[18:05] ---**
Will you back down now?
**[18:07] ---**
I should tell you that
your judgement is correct.
**[18:11] ---**
Your Giga Strash is indeed
the best attack to use...
**[18:16] ---**
win or lose.
**[18:19] ---**
*That's right!*
**[18:20] ---**
*Giga Strash is the strongest attack
that I have!*
**[18:24] ---**
This is...
**[18:28] ---**
my only...
**[18:31] ---**
option!
**[18:34] ---**
*He's not dodging!
Is he going to try to take it?!*
**[18:39] ---**
Giga Strash!
**[18:42] ---**
Phoenix Wing!
**[18:44] ---**
Calamitous End!
**[18:47] ---**
Kaiser Phoenix!
**[19:11] ---**
Allow me to explain while my hand heals.
**[19:16] ---**
Why did Dai fall in an instant?
**[19:19] ---**
That's the secret to
the Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth.
**[19:23] ---**
"Heaven" is the attack.
**[19:26] ---**
"Earth" is defense.
**[19:28] ---**
And "Demonic" is reminiscent of
the use of magic.
**[19:34] ---**
I see you understand.
**[19:36] ---**
I can attack, defend, and use magic
in a single instant.
**[19:42] ---**
This impenetrable stance is
the Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth.
**[19:47] ---**
As an old man, two of the three
is all I can do.
**[19:51] ---**
But this young body allows me
to fight in such a way.
**[19:57] ---**
With this ultimate skill,
no matter how lethal an attack one uses,
**[20:02] ---**
it becomes useless.
**[20:05] ---**
*Of course he couldn't win.*
**[20:07] ---**
*Giga Strash is a mix of magic
and attack that uses the Magic Sword.*
**[20:12] ---**
*But his opponent can add defense to that.*
**[20:17] ---**
*Anyone who charges into that stance
will have their attack nullified,*
**[20:23] ---**
*and be simultaneously torn apart
by his attack and magic.*
**[20:42] ---**
I see even the strong-willed princess
is at a loss for words.
**[20:47] ---**
What a nice face.
**[20:49] ---**
Stop!
**[20:51] ---**
Hm?
**[20:52] ---**
Get away... from Leona!
**[21:11] ---**
You may be shielded by your Draconic Aura,
**[21:14] ---**
but there's nothing
Calamitous End can't cut.
**[21:18] ---**
No blade in the world can match
a strike from the side of my palm.
**[21:23] ---**
I wonder if you've realized.
**[21:26] ---**
*That wound is in the exact same place
that you cut me before.*
**[21:31] ---**
Now you shall slowly feel my wrath.
**[21:38] ---**
I think I've come up
with an entertaining idea.
**[21:42] ---**
Princess Leona.
**[21:44] ---**
You must serve beside me.
**[22:11] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:11] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:20] ---**
*I gaze at you from behind
as you begin to walk away*
**[22:20] ---**

*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*

THE EYE JEWEL
**[01:51] ---**
Now you shall slowly feel my wrath.
**[01:58] ---**
I think I've come up
with an entertaining idea.
**[02:02] ---**
Princess Leona.
**[02:04] ---**
You must serve beside me.
**[02:14] ---**
W-What?!
**[02:17] ---**
After the Surface World is demolished,
I shall keep you alive.
**[02:21] ---**
You can watch this Dragon Knight,
**[02:24] ---**
the hope of the Surface World,
be viciously torn apart.
**[02:31] ---**
Then spend the rest of your life
serving me.
**[02:34] ---**
You shall be an Underworld songstress,
singing of my power and terror.
**[02:41] ---**
That will be much more entertaining
than just simply slaughtering you.
**[02:46] ---**
I can enjoy that for a long time.
**[02:50] ---**
What do you think?
**[02:52] ---**
I... I'll never do that!
**[02:55] ---**
Don't be stupid! If Dai should fall,
then I won't live long either!
**[03:00] ---**
I'll fight until the very end
together with Dai!
**[03:04] ---**
Leona...
**[03:06] ---**
How very brave.
**[03:08] ---**
For one so young
to possess such a strong will.
**[03:13] ---**
I've never encountered this before.
**[03:16] ---**
I like you even more now.
**[03:19] ---**
But look at your precious Dai.
**[03:23] ---**
He's on the verge of death.
**[03:26] ---**
There is no if. He will die.
**[03:33] ---**
If I'm going to kill him, I want him
completely and utterly destroyed!
**[03:39] ---**
I want him to see my greatness
and the limits of his own strength.
**[03:43] ---**
And to see the true nature
of the humans he so loves.
**[03:47] ---**
He should know true despair
before he dies.
**[03:51] ---**
Now, Princess, take a good look.
**[03:55] ---**
Watch your Hero get pummeled to death!
**[04:16] ---**
Dai!
**[04:21] ---**
What's wrong, Dai?! Can't you get up?
**[04:24] ---**
Are you just going to roll around
like a worm?
**[04:30] ---**
*Perhaps my Calamitous End
was too powerful?*
**[04:36] ---**
*It's no good! I can't move properly!*
**[04:40] ---**
*Get up! Fight back!*
**[04:47] ---**
*No. I must watch.*
**[04:49] ---**
*I shouldn't avert my eyes
from Dai's suffering.*
**[04:53] ---**
*I'm fighting, too!*
**[04:56] ---**
*I have to do something! Anything!*
**[04:59] ---**
*Anything against the Dark King!*
**[05:01] ---**
*Just doing that
will lessen Dai's suffering!*
**[05:11] ---**
And now for this.
**[05:22] ---**
Kaiser Phoenix!
**[06:12] ---**
W-Well?
**[06:15] ---**
How does it feel to be wounded
by a little girl, Dark King?
**[06:19] ---**
Did you see that, Dai?!
**[06:21] ---**
Vearn's body couldn't be cut
by even a Gigastrash,
**[06:24] ---**
but unless he's fully focused,
he can't maintain his invulnerability!
**[06:29] ---**
Even I could wound him!
**[06:32] ---**
Nothing in this world is invulnerable!
**[06:34] ---**
Nothing can be!
**[06:36] ---**
Don't forget that!
**[06:39] ---**
Leona...
**[06:40] ---**
If you still want to keep me alive
then go right ahead!
**[06:45] ---**
But I'll tell everyone
for the rest of my life
**[06:49] ---**
that I wounded the great Dark King Vearn!
**[06:53] ---**
That I'm the strongest woman in the world!
**[07:05] ---**
*No! Get up! Stand up!*
**[07:09] ---**
*If I don't stand...*
**[07:11] ---**
*then Leona will...*
**[07:23] ---**
Leona!
**[07:43] ---**
You will regret that.
**[07:45] ---**
You can no longer resist or speak.
**[07:49] ---**
Leona!
**[08:02] ---**
Huh?!
**[08:03] ---**
Leona became a jewel?!
**[08:06] ---**
How do you feel, Princess Leona?
**[08:09] ---**
Huh?
**[08:13] ---**
Leona!
**[08:19] ---**
Where am I?! What happened to me?!
**[08:23] ---**
You decided to wound me,
so I won't kill you.
**[08:28] ---**
I won't be satisfied
unless you suffer a fate worse than death.
**[08:33] ---**
I've used my Magic Power
to turn you into a jewel called an Eye.
**[08:39] ---**
There are only three things
you can do now.
**[08:43] ---**
See, hear, and think.
**[08:46] ---**
You cannot move,
and your voice cannot be heard.
**[08:51] ---**
No matter what scenes of atrocity
may unfold before you...
**[08:57] ---**
you cannot look away.
**[09:09] ---**
Congratulations, Dai.
**[09:11] ---**
While heavily wounded,
you may still be worthy of fighting me.
**[09:20] ---**
Dai! Dai!
**[09:23] ---**
Leona, hang in there!
**[09:31] ---**
Now watch from there, Princess...
**[09:34] ---**
as the Hero is beaten beyond all hope.
**[09:37] ---**
You cannot fight with him,
nor can you take your own life.
**[09:42] ---**
As a leader of the Surface World,
there can be no greater humiliation.
**[09:49] ---**
I will change you back once you decide
to pledge eternal servitude to me.
**[09:56] ---**
Turn her back now!
**[09:59] ---**
You'll have to stop my Magic Power.
**[10:02] ---**
Defeat me and she'll be restored.
**[10:04] ---**
But that seems unlikely in your condition.
**[10:09] ---**
*I have to defeat Vearn!
If I don't defeat him here, then Leona...*
**[10:14] ---**
*But his Demonic Guard
of Heaven and Earth is perfect.*
**[10:18] ---**
*It has no weakness!*
**[10:22] ---**
Hm?
**[10:22] ---**
*That's it! If there's no weakness, then...*
**[10:27] ---**
*That look... He's thought of something.*
**[10:31] ---**
*But I can't do it alone!*
**[10:34] ---**
Well? What's wrong? Didn't you think of
some way to fight back?
**[10:41] ---**
It doesn't matter either way.
**[10:44] ---**
You will still be torn apart.
**[10:47] ---**
Calamitous End?!
**[10:50] ---**
Don't be so surprised.
**[10:52] ---**
The Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth
**[10:55] ---**
isn't necessary for a Kaiser Phoenix
or Calamitous Wall attack.
**[10:59] ---**
The divine power of my palm strike
can also be unleashed at any time.
**[11:04] ---**
Why use my ultimate skill against
one who has lost the will to fight?
**[11:10] ---**
I'll cut you to shreds!
**[11:24] ---**
Oh Dai. This isn't good.
**[11:27] ---**
You can barely even stand.
**[11:31] ---**
To be powerless at a time like this...
**[11:34] ---**
To be forced to just watch...
**[11:38] ---**
That's it, Princess! I feel your torment!
**[11:41] ---**
To feel it for just a minute,
for just a second longer is more fun!
**[11:53] ---**
You should know that my last attack
was just a simple palm strike.
**[11:58] ---**
Calamitous End is my greatest strike.
**[12:03] ---**
I put all of my might into it.
**[12:06] ---**
Like this.
**[12:08] ---**
Dai!
**[12:09] ---**
Can you withstand a second one?!
**[12:22] ---**
Dai!
**[12:23] ---**
Calamitous End!
**[12:29] ---**
KAGLIMMER
**[12:34] ---**
THE DEMONIC GUARD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH
**[12:37] ---**
Calamitous End!
**[12:56] ---**
Sorry about that, Mister Dark King.
**[12:59] ---**
You...
**[13:04] ---**
You'll have to beat all of us.
**[13:09] ---**
It's not over until you do!
**[13:12] ---**
Popp! Everyone!
**[13:16] ---**
You little scrubs.
**[13:18] ---**
Begone!
**[13:20] ---**
Watch out, everyone! That eye is...!
**[13:33] ---**
It looks like most of you were
barely healthy enough to make it here.
**[13:39] ---**
Those worthy enough to fight me are...
**[13:42] ---**
Dai, Popp, Avan, Hym, Larhart...
**[13:47] ---**
Just you five.
**[13:50] ---**
What's going on here?!
**[13:52] ---**
When hit by the light
of Vearn's third eye,
**[13:54] ---**
anyone too weak to fight
is turned into a jewel.
**[13:58] ---**
He got Leona, too.
**[14:02] ---**
Then everyone's in these things?!
**[14:05] ---**
What terrifying Magic Power.
**[14:10] ---**
To come all this way and be useless...
**[14:12] ---**
Dammit!
**[14:13] ---**
Let me out!
**[14:18] ---**
*That's right. Hyunckel was already
in critical condition.*
**[14:22] ---**
*Maam and Brokeena were still wounded
from the fight with Myst.*
**[14:26] ---**
*Sadly, I guess Big Guy and Chiu
weren't strong enough.*
**[14:31] ---**
*There's a big difference
between Big Guy and Chiu.*
**[14:34] ---**
*But I guess compared to Vearn
it's all the same.*
**[14:38] ---**
Are they still alive in there?
**[14:40] ---**
Yeah. But they can't do anything.
**[14:42] ---**
Great. That's actually better.
**[14:46] ---**
What?! Don't you care
that he got your friends?!
**[14:51] ---**
I thought you were better than that!
**[14:53] ---**
They can be turned back, right?
**[14:54] ---**
Vearn said defeating him
would restore them.
**[14:57] ---**
He's the Dark King.
We won't be able to cover for our wounded.
**[15:03] ---**
Popp...
**[15:04] ---**
From the looks of it,
those jewels won't break so easily.
**[15:09] ---**
Maam and the Princess are actually safe.
**[15:12] ---**
We don't have to worry about
getting thrown off by them getting killed.
**[15:17] ---**
It's a little heartless,
but defeating him will be easier this way!
**[15:23] ---**
Oh?
**[15:24] ---**
You're always so noisy,
so I thought you'd be more sympathetic,
**[15:28] ---**
but you can be pretty level-headed.
**[15:30] ---**
It depends on the situation!
**[15:32] ---**
Anyway, if we lose,
the Surface World is over!
**[15:36] ---**
And our friends won't be turning back!
**[15:41] ---**
*Matoriv?*
**[15:43] ---**
If it means defeating him,
and saving our friends,
**[15:47] ---**
I'll do anything it takes!
**[15:51] ---**
*I see.*
**[15:52] ---**
*He's been instructing Popp
while I was gone.*
**[15:59] ---**
*It's just like back then.*
**[16:02] ---**
*It feels like Matoriv
is right here beside me.*
**[16:13] ---**
*Before you know it,
they've all grown up so much.*
**[16:19] ---**
*Cool. Be cool!*
**[16:22] ---**
*Now's the time to fight like Mentor!*
**[16:25] ---**
*Now that we know he can reflect Medroa,
I've only got one thing left.*
**[16:29] ---**
*It's this sharp mind that's got me
and my friends through numerous perils!*
**[16:36] ---**
I suppose
the bigger the audience the better.
**[16:40] ---**
You have to see the fall of the Hero Dai,
hope of the Surface World.
**[16:46] ---**
But you should all be proud.
**[16:55] ---**
You are witnesses to history.
**[17:00] ---**
Cry, heavens!
**[17:16] ---**
Howl, earth!
**[17:29] ---**
Here and now...
**[17:32] ---**
the age of darkness has come!
**[17:36] ---**
Now... witness this!
**[17:40] ---**
That's...!
**[17:41] ---**
Heal Master Dai!
**[17:43] ---**
Right!
**[17:44] ---**
We'll use that time...
**[17:46] ---**
...to hold him off!
**[17:47] ---**
No! Don't charge into
his Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth!
**[17:52] ---**
That's the Dark King's ultimate skill!
Not even the three of you could...!
**[17:58] ---**
Don't!
**[18:02] ---**
What are you doing, Popp?!
We have to stop them!
**[18:04] ---**
Just sit still!
**[18:11] ---**
Avan Strash!
**[18:13] ---**
Sunder Claw!
**[18:15] ---**
Aura Knuckle!
**[18:18] ---**
Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth!
**[18:38] ---**
That's all the three of you
together can do?!
**[18:41] ---**
At least Dai's Gigastrash
managed to wound me!
**[18:49] ---**
*I saw it! He repelled the Sunder Claw
with the force of his palm...*
**[18:53] ---**
*took down the Avan Strash
with Kaiser Phoenix...*
**[18:57] ---**
*and shattered the Aura Knuckle
with a palm strike!*
**[19:01] ---**
*Attack, defense, and magic
all in one motion!*
**[19:04] ---**
*So that's Vearn's ultimate skill!*
**[19:07] ---**
Why?! Why did you abandon them all, Popp?!
**[19:12] ---**
Vearn's stance is unbeatable!
I know that, which is why...
**[19:20] ---**
Thank goodness! They're alive!
We have to stop them from--
**[19:25] ---**
*Why doesn't he finish them?
They're all in shambles!*
**[19:29] ---**
*He could wipe them all out
with a single extreme spell!*
**[19:35] ---**
*Is he playing with them?*
**[19:37] ---**
*No, that's not it.
He isn't giving any openings.*
**[19:42] ---**
*Could it be...?*
**[19:44] ---**
So, what now?
**[19:47] ---**
Will you give up and beg for your lives?
**[19:49] ---**
Or will you once again
face my ultimate skill of death?
**[19:55] ---**
Given that choice,
there is but one answer!
**[19:59] ---**
We'll take our chances!
**[20:03] ---**
A welcome answer.
**[20:05] ---**
But it looks like one of you
won't be able to.
**[20:11] ---**
Master Avan!
**[20:20] ---**
Master!
**[20:23] ---**
I'm pleased that
you fell so quickly, Avan.
**[20:28] ---**
Fighting power aside,
your brain can't be underestimated.
**[20:33] ---**
You're unpredictable.
**[20:35] ---**
And the smartest man on the Surface World.
**[20:38] ---**
Unfortunately for you,
there's still someone smarter than me.
**[20:47] ---**
M-Master!
**[20:51] ---**
I'm sorry! I... I...!
**[20:53] ---**
I understand why you held Dai back
despite knowing what would happen.
**[21:00] ---**
Only the Hero's strike
can defeat the Dark King.
**[21:04] ---**
You were following the advice
that I gave to Princess Leona.
**[21:12] ---**
Just as Dai, the Hero is the only one
who can defeat the Dark King,
**[21:16] ---**
the only one who can unlock
Dai's full potential...
**[21:19] ---**
is the one who has been with him
since the very beginning of this fight.
**[21:24] ---**
Popp... That's you.
**[21:30] ---**
Work together... and achieve victory!
**[21:37] ---**
Master!
**[21:55] ---**
Master Avan!
**[22:11] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:11] ---**

ON THIS BOND
**[01:50] ---**
Just as Dai, the Hero is the only one
who can defeat the Dark King,
**[01:55] ---**
the only one who can unlock
Dai's full potential...
**[01:58] ---**
is the one who has been with him
since the very beginning of this fight.
**[02:03] ---**
Popp... That's you.
**[02:09] ---**
Work together... and achieve victory!
**[02:15] ---**
Master!
**[02:29] ---**
Master, please watch us!
**[02:33] ---**
I promise...
**[02:34] ---**
we'll get the Dark King for you!
**[02:39] ---**
What a joke.
**[02:43] ---**
What are you doing?!
Vearn's going to attack!
**[02:46] ---**
Hurry and ready yourself!
**[02:49] ---**
Nah. Don't worry.
**[02:54] ---**
Vearn will never attack first
in that stance,
**[02:57] ---**
the Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth.
**[03:01] ---**
It's not that sort of skill.
**[03:03] ---**
I understand now.
**[03:06] ---**
It's the ultimate defensive skill.
**[03:09] ---**
Basically, it's for countering.
**[03:12] ---**
*While it lets him use
three skills at once,*
**[03:15] ---**
used offensively,
it's just a triple attack.
**[03:20] ---**
And Vearn's skills are great enough
to defeat most enemies without it.
**[03:25] ---**
I bet the Demonic Guard
of Heaven and Earth
**[03:28] ---**
is a stance Vearn only uses
against truly powerful enemies.
**[03:34] ---**
*By letting an enemy attack first,*
**[03:36] ---**
*he can hit them with his super skills
of attack, defense, and magic,*
**[03:40] ---**
*completely obliterating them.*
**[03:45] ---**
It's unbeatable!
**[03:48] ---**
But he must charge a massive amount
of energy in order to unleash these.
**[03:53] ---**
They're not normal attacks.
**[03:55] ---**
Hitting his opponent
with these three super attacks
**[03:58] ---**
is what brings such devastation.
**[04:01] ---**
That immovable stance isn't
just to make his enemies attack first.
**[04:06] ---**
It probably lets him conserve energy,
storing it in his body
**[04:09] ---**
and then unleashing it all at once.
**[04:14] ---**
It appears Avan's parting words
weren't said out of desperation.
**[04:21] ---**
A fledgling like you
saw through my ultimate skill.
**[04:26] ---**
But, knowing that, what can you do?
**[04:30] ---**
How do you intend to fight?
**[04:32] ---**
Once I take this stance, it's over.
No one can break it.
**[04:37] ---**
And buying time is meaningless.
**[04:40] ---**
Dai's wounds were inflicted by Dark Aura
and can't be healed by healing spells.
**[04:46] ---**
*That's the problem!*
**[04:48] ---**
*Dai's not healing at all!*
**[04:51] ---**
*I can only think of
one way to attack Vearn.*
**[04:56] ---**
*Hit him in the brief moments
following an attack.*
**[05:00] ---**
*Before he charges for the next.*
**[05:03] ---**
*But with everyone in this state...*
**[05:19] ---**
And I can always initiate
an attack as well.
**[05:24] ---**
Don't forget that!
**[05:26] ---**
-He dropped his stance!
-Here he comes!
**[05:28] ---**
Larhart! Hym!
**[05:30] ---**
I hate to ask this
from complete strangers, but...
**[05:34] ---**
give your lives to me!
**[05:54] ---**
They say ancient humans thought thunder
was the gods fighting in the heavens.
**[06:00] ---**
You can feel the terrifying power
from way down here!
**[06:03] ---**
Dai and the others must be fighting
Dark King Vearn right now!
**[06:09] ---**
*Unbelievable.*
**[06:11] ---**
*There's no ifs or buts about it.*
**[06:14] ---**
*Either the Dark King falls,
or the Surface World ends.*
**[06:18] ---**
*It's one or the other.*
**[06:22] ---**
It's hopeless!
**[06:25] ---**
He's on a whole different level!
**[06:30] ---**
Please! Please just stop it!
**[06:36] ---**
I can almost hear the anguished cries
of your friends, Dai!
**[06:41] ---**
They might as well have stayed behind
and left you here with the Princess!
**[06:48] ---**
This game...
**[06:50] ---**
is mine.
**[06:52] ---**
-D-Darn it!
-It's no good!
**[06:55] ---**
I can't move my body!
**[06:58] ---**
So much for my plan.
It looks like it was worthless.
**[07:02] ---**
You asked us to give our lives to you.
**[07:06] ---**
So tell us.
**[07:09] ---**
If there's any hope of winning,
tell us what to do!
**[07:12] ---**
We've reached our limit!
**[07:14] ---**
If you can't hold out, then all is lost.
**[07:17] ---**
My plan wasn't anything complicated.
**[07:21] ---**
It's what you said before.
**[07:24] ---**
Be a shield for Dai!
**[07:27] ---**
We're all beat to hell here.
**[07:30] ---**
None of us can face Vearn directly.
**[07:33] ---**
That's why I wanted the three of us
to take his blows and create an opening,
**[07:39] ---**
allowing Dai to focus on the offensive!
**[07:42] ---**
"Wanted"? You're talking past tense?
**[07:45] ---**
It looks like I underestimated him.
**[07:48] ---**
At this rate, we won't even be able to
take more blows for Dai!
**[07:52] ---**
P-Popp...
**[07:58] ---**
I shall end this now.
**[08:00] ---**
I'll wipe you all out
with my Calamitous Wall.
**[08:05] ---**
It looks like some poor little Eyes
will be disintegrated as well.
**[08:14] ---**
He means me!
**[08:16] ---**
I'll make this one move slowly.
**[08:19] ---**
You can enjoy your fear longer.
**[08:23] ---**
Calamitous Wall!
**[08:38] ---**
Dammit! He's laughing his head off!
**[08:43] ---**
I won't give up!
**[08:44] ---**
I will never give up!
**[08:50] ---**
I swear I'll survive this Calamitous Wall!
**[08:54] ---**
There's no point if we can't withstand it!
**[08:58] ---**
I need him to use
that ultimate skill one more time!
**[09:03] ---**
What?!
**[09:04] ---**
You fool! Didn't you see
the three of us fail against it?!
**[09:09] ---**
The Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth
**[09:12] ---**
can't be beaten head-on,
not even with ten people!
**[09:16] ---**
But the moment he unleashes that ultimate
skill is when he's most vulnerable!
**[09:22] ---**
Popp, you had the same idea as me!
**[09:26] ---**
I thought that was the only way, too!
**[09:29] ---**
Withstand all three super attacks
and then attack immediately after!
**[09:34] ---**
That's the only way
to defeat that unbeatable skill!
**[09:39] ---**
But I knew that it would kill me
if I tried it alone.
**[09:43] ---**
So you saw through it, too.
**[09:46] ---**
Nice going, partner. That settles it!
**[09:49] ---**
You're not alone anymore!
**[09:52] ---**
You've got allies here who will suffer
those super attacks in your place!
**[09:57] ---**
Even if it means getting hit by all three,
I'll give you the chance to strike back!
**[10:02] ---**
*So that was the plan.
These guys are crazy.*
**[10:10] ---**
It's an impossibility
within an impossibility.
**[10:13] ---**
And we haven't even gotten him
to take his ultimate stance yet.
**[10:17] ---**
First we need to take care of
the big problem at hand.
**[10:20] ---**
But it's still a gamble whether
the Dark King will take his stance or not!
**[10:29] ---**
Stay back!
**[10:39] ---**
*Little Hym!*
**[10:40] ---**
That sounds fun!
**[10:42] ---**
You can count me in
on that hopeless gamble!
**[10:46] ---**
Sadly, I don't think
I'll be able to see how it turns out!
**[10:49] ---**
Hym!
**[10:53] ---**
You've gained my respect
for the first time.
**[10:56] ---**
But I can't let you beat me
in terms of dedication to Master Dai!
**[11:01] ---**
I can't see anymore!
**[11:03] ---**
Which way is Vearn?!
**[11:05] ---**
Vearn's this way!
**[11:07] ---**
Come on!
**[11:37] ---**
-You can have it!
-My life!
**[11:40] ---**
Larhart! Hym!
**[11:41] ---**
They actually did it!
**[11:53] ---**
AURA KNUCKLE
**[11:57] ---**
SUNDER CLAW
**[12:02] ---**
*In this condition
I doubt anything I do will work on him!*
**[12:06] ---**
*In that case...!*
**[12:08] ---**
*We'll be living bullets!*
**[12:10] ---**
*We'll use our bodies as weapons
and charge him!*
**[12:13] ---**
*So you're prepared to die.*
**[12:18] ---**
*Their intensity...*
**[12:21] ---**
*No simple attack can counter them!*
**[12:30] ---**
Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth!
**[12:49] ---**
W-What?!
**[12:51] ---**
Medroa?!
**[13:00] ---**
Phoenix Wing!
**[13:14] ---**
You surprised me, boy!
**[13:16] ---**
Not only did you once again
force me to take this stance,
**[13:22] ---**
but by using a delayed Medroa,
**[13:24] ---**
you even managed to scare me!
**[13:28] ---**
But, unfortunately for you,
you're now out of options.
**[13:37] ---**
*What? I can't drop my stance!*
**[13:40] ---**
*Something inside of me senses a threat!*
**[13:43] ---**
*Do they still...?!*
**[13:52] ---**
*Hym, Larhart, thank you!*
**[13:55] ---**
*You used to be our enemies,
and yet you've done so much for us!*
**[14:01] ---**
*You've given us a chance at victory!*
**[14:05] ---**
*We can't waste it!*
**[14:07] ---**
Your final attack?
**[14:11] ---**
Very well. Come on!
**[14:14] ---**
Are you sure about that, Mister Dark King?
**[14:17] ---**
What do you mean?
**[14:19] ---**
This final attack we're about to unleash
**[14:23] ---**
will break through your precious
Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth!
**[14:28] ---**
Don't make me laugh!
**[14:30] ---**
Gigastrash and Medroa.
**[14:32] ---**
You already know that
your most powerful attacks won't work!
**[14:37] ---**
Don't you get it, Vearn?!
**[14:40] ---**
Popp didn't cast Medroa
to try to defeat you!
**[14:44] ---**
He did it to show me the perfect timing!
**[14:47] ---**
Oh?
**[14:48] ---**
I was right.
**[14:50] ---**
Right after you use
the Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth,
**[14:54] ---**
there's a slight delay
until you're ready to counter again.
**[14:59] ---**
I cast Medroa in order for
Dai and I to see the timing for ourselves!
**[15:05] ---**
*Just as I thought,
you froze for an instant!*
**[15:08] ---**
*And on top of that, you couldn't properly
deflect the Medroa back at me!*
**[15:14] ---**
*Even though Mystvearn could do it!*
**[15:18] ---**
In other words,
if we strike at that timing,
**[15:21] ---**
even wounded as we are,
we have a chance at a comeback!
**[15:26] ---**
That's interesting.
**[15:28] ---**
I see. So that's the reason why I froze.
**[15:32] ---**
No wonder you never knew about it.
**[15:34] ---**
The Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth has
never failed to beat your enemy, has it?
**[15:40] ---**
Of course not.
**[15:41] ---**
The Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth
is my ultimate skill!
**[15:45] ---**
To use it means to
absolutely erase any enemy.
**[15:49] ---**
That's why you have that weakness!
**[15:52] ---**
Being your greatest and final skill
causes that opening!
**[15:57] ---**
No matter how great a skill it is,
you shouldn't show it off so many times.
**[16:03] ---**
If you want to secure a victory,
you should attack normally.
**[16:08] ---**
Mister Dark King!
**[16:11] ---**
*This is a gamble!*
**[16:12] ---**
*With their stamina drained, having Vearn
attack normally would be worse.*
**[16:18] ---**
*Pop is purposely provoking Vearn
to get him to use his ultimate skill.*
**[16:25] ---**
*He's betting on the Dark King's
absolute confidence in his ultimate skill!*
**[16:30] ---**
Very well.
**[16:32] ---**
I accept that challenge!
**[16:35] ---**
*Yes! Now it's all or nothing!*
**[16:38] ---**
I'm interested in seeing if that
little provocation of yours pays off.
**[16:44] ---**
I never imagined
that I had such a weakness.
**[16:49] ---**
But first...!
**[16:57] ---**
And then there were two!
**[16:59] ---**
*Dai! Popp!*
**[17:01] ---**
*This is grim!*
**[17:02] ---**
*I don't know what Popp's planning,*
**[17:05] ---**
*but those two are too wounded
to break Vearn's ultimate skill!*
**[17:10] ---**
*Dammit! I can't even be a shield for them
in their moment of need!*
**[17:14] ---**
From what I see, Dai doesn't have
the stamina to use Gigastrash anymore.
**[17:20] ---**
And if you plan to finish things
with your Medroa, I can deflect it again,
**[17:26] ---**
whether back at you or not.
**[17:28] ---**
Neither attack can be used to finish me.
**[17:31] ---**
That's what I'm interested in.
**[17:33] ---**
There's no way you two can possibly
pull off that plan by yourselves.
**[17:38] ---**
You can't even withstand
my ultimate skill!
**[17:43] ---**
So how do you intend to hit me
with a deciding blow?
**[17:47] ---**
I must see this!
**[17:49] ---**
Which of us will use the deciding blow?
Isn't it obvious?!
**[17:53] ---**
The Hero is the one
who always defeats the Dark King!
**[17:58] ---**
I'll be the shield
against your ultimate skill!
**[18:02] ---**
*Popp!*
**[18:04] ---**
*I did it!*
**[18:05] ---**
*I remember Mentor once used
two spells at the same time.*
**[18:09] ---**
*I thought maybe I could pull it off now.*
**[18:15] ---**
You're very talented, boy!
**[18:18] ---**
That may be better than a single Medroa...
**[18:22] ---**
but I thought you were smarter than that.
**[18:25] ---**
Can't you do simple math?
**[18:27] ---**
What?!
**[18:29] ---**
Let's assume that Explosion-type spell
is as strong as a Kaboom spell.
**[18:34] ---**
And that you can cause
a great deal of damage
**[18:37] ---**
with the rest of your Magic Power
focused in that staff.
**[18:40] ---**
That adds up to two!
**[18:42] ---**
So what about my third attack?
**[18:44] ---**
If a frail human like you
takes a direct hit unguarded,
**[18:49] ---**
you won't even serve as a shield!
**[18:53] ---**
*First, I'll deflect your spell
with my Phoenix Wing.*
**[18:58] ---**
*Then I'll shatter your weapon
with my Calamitous End.*
**[19:01] ---**
*That'll leave you defenseless.*
**[19:04] ---**
*And you'll be hit by the combined force of
the deflected spell and my Kaiser Phoenix.*
**[19:12] ---**
You'll be incinerated in an instant,
**[19:15] ---**
and Dai will be hit by my spell
before he can exploit any weakness.
**[19:19] ---**
You'll both be reduced to ashes.
That's how it will end.
**[19:24] ---**
Things might be different
if you only had a few more people.
**[19:29] ---**
Here goes, Vearn!
**[19:31] ---**
And yet... you still try.
**[19:36] ---**
Vearn...
**[19:37] ---**
Popp may have been
a little unreliable at first.
**[19:41] ---**
But he's been with me in this battle
since the very beginning.
**[19:47] ---**
He's a friend I trust.
He's saved me time and time again!
**[19:52] ---**
If Popp says he'll make
an opening for me, then he will!
**[19:56] ---**
All I have to do is trust him
and focus my power!
**[20:01] ---**
You should remember this.
**[20:04] ---**
The two of us aren't alone.
**[20:07] ---**
We may have started
this adventure together,
**[20:10] ---**
but we've met numerous people
on our way here!
**[20:13] ---**
We've fought against
and been saved by them!
**[20:17] ---**
If even one of them hadn't been there,
we wouldn't be facing you now!
**[20:23] ---**
Even if they're far away,
even if they can't move,
**[20:28] ---**
we're all connected
by the bond of our souls!
**[20:35] ---**
It's the strength of this bond!
**[20:37] ---**
You can't see it,
but I know it's gonna surprise you!
**[20:41] ---**
I said it once.
Don't make me say it again.
**[20:45] ---**
You can't kill me with your soul!
**[20:49] ---**
Here goes, Dai!
**[20:51] ---**
The rest is up to you!
**[20:53] ---**
Right!
**[21:03] ---**
Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth!
**[21:05] ---**
Burn to ashes!
**[21:22] ---**
Popp!
**[21:24] ---**
It's no good! It's just as Vearn said!
**[21:28] ---**
I was right!
**[21:40] ---**
*The Mirror of Shahal?!*
**[21:42] ---**
Reflect it!
**[22:11] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*

THE GREATEST, FINAL COMEBACK
**[01:50] ---**
Reflect it!
**[02:00] ---**
*That mirror...!*
**[02:03] ---**
Wait.
**[02:06] ---**
That Mirror of Shahal...
Could you take it with you?
**[02:17] ---**
Th-This is too heavy.
It's no good on my arm.
**[02:22] ---**
Just hide it in your tunic as armour.
**[02:26] ---**
But this thing...
**[02:27] ---**
The Mirror of Shahal is an item.
It won't break even if I die.
**[02:32] ---**
I want that mirror
to see you through to the end...
**[02:37] ---**
in my place.
**[02:40] ---**
Sigma...
**[02:41] ---**
I know it will be of some service.
Take it with you.
**[02:47] ---**
*It's from back then!*
**[02:49] ---**
*Th-This has been of way more
than "some" service!*
**[02:53] ---**
*It's become the deciding factor
for victory! Thanks, Sigma!*
**[03:12] ---**
*Now... this moment...!*
**[03:16] ---**
*This moment is everything!*
**[03:19] ---**
*If I don't pull this off, we'll never have
another chance to defeat Vearn!*
**[03:24] ---**
*My friends created this moment for me!*
**[03:28] ---**
*I put everything...*
**[03:31] ---**
everything I have into this moment!
**[03:33] ---**
Do it!
**[03:35] ---**
Avan Strash!
**[03:42] ---**
Don't...
**[03:43] ---**
Don't underestimate Vearn, the Dark King!
**[03:48] ---**
*H-He can move?!*
**[03:51] ---**
*The spell hit him directly
when he was frozen!*
**[03:55] ---**
*Those intense flames...!*
**[03:58] ---**
*An Overfiend!*
**[04:01] ---**
*I withstood it!*
**[04:02] ---**
*Now I just take down his Strash...*
**[04:06] ---**
and it's all over!
**[04:10] ---**
Strash Cross!
**[04:36] ---**
*My arm.*
**[04:38] ---**
*My arm should be able to beat any weapon!*
**[04:43] ---**
H-He beat it!
**[04:45] ---**
He beat the Demonic Guard
of Heaven and Earth!
**[04:49] ---**
*Vearn can no longer use
the Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth!*
**[04:53] ---**
*Like with Dark Aura, wounds from
Draconic Aura can't heal immediately!*
**[04:59] ---**
*Wounded as he was, he managed to hit
Vearn with a critical blow!*
**[05:05] ---**
*Sigma, look.*
**[05:09] ---**
*The ones that we accepted as our rivals...*
**[05:13] ---**
*are far stronger than we thought.*
**[05:16] ---**
*It's only just begun!*
**[05:17] ---**
*From here the real fight starts!*
**[05:20] ---**
I'm not defeated yet!
**[05:28] ---**
Dai!
**[05:29] ---**
Vearn, I'm not letting go!
**[05:33] ---**
We're taking this together!
**[05:37] ---**
Zapple!
**[05:42] ---**
Dai!
**[05:49] ---**
A-Are you trying to die with me?
**[05:54] ---**
I don't have the stamina
to use Giga Strash again.
**[05:57] ---**
And even if you can't use
the Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth
**[06:02] ---**
you aren't likely
to just let a spell hit you!
**[06:06] ---**
But this is 100% guaranteed to hit you!
**[06:09] ---**
Let's see who can last longer!
**[06:11] ---**
Why you...!
**[06:13] ---**
One more time!
**[06:15] ---**
Zapple!
**[06:25] ---**
Now there's multiple lightning strikes.
**[06:27] ---**
Is that Dai's spell?
**[06:33] ---**
Let's pray it's not a Dark Army attack.
**[06:44] ---**
Zapple!
**[06:49] ---**
Why don't you give up
your futile resistance?!
**[06:53] ---**
You say that,
but your pull on me is weakening!
**[06:59] ---**
It's because you pierced
one of my three hearts!
**[07:03] ---**
But that's not enough to kill me!
**[07:06] ---**
Zapple!
**[07:12] ---**
*How many times is that?!*
**[07:14] ---**
*A-At this rate, not just Vearn, but Dai...*
**[07:19] ---**
*Dai will be killed!*
**[07:21] ---**
Zapple!
**[07:25] ---**
Dai!
**[07:37] ---**
*I-I can't stop him.*
**[07:43] ---**
*No matter how self-destructive it is,*
**[07:45] ---**
*the only way to defeat Vearn
is for Dai to risk his own life like this!*
**[07:52] ---**
*Vearn said he won't die...*
**[07:55] ---**
*but this is definitely having an effect!*
**[07:59] ---**
*The lighting is directly entering his body
through the Sword of Dai!*
**[08:05] ---**
*Even Vearn can't withstand that!*
**[08:09] ---**
*All I can say is this...*
**[08:12] ---**
*Don't die before Vearn does!*
**[08:15] ---**
*That's all, Dai!*
**[08:18] ---**
I don't understand.
Don't you feel any fear?
**[08:22] ---**
Don't you have any doubts
in using such a reckless tactic?
**[08:26] ---**
Not at all!
**[08:28] ---**
Actually, it's easier this way!
**[08:32] ---**
I can damage you
and I'm the only one who gets hurt!
**[08:37] ---**
My friends all suffered and fell in battle
to provide me with this one last chance!
**[08:43] ---**
Why shouldn't I suffer in battle as well?!
**[08:49] ---**
So this is the bond of souls
you talk about?
**[08:54] ---**
Yeah! It is!
**[09:04] ---**
Give up, Dai.
**[09:06] ---**
W-What?!
**[09:08] ---**
This bond of souls you believe in...
**[09:12] ---**
The blood your friends have spilled
and their suffering...
**[09:16] ---**
You'll soon see that it was all pointless.
**[09:21] ---**
Pointless?!
**[09:22] ---**
So just stop this useless attack.
**[09:26] ---**
It's for your own good.
**[09:28] ---**
What are you talking about?!
**[09:30] ---**
There's... There's no way
that it's pointless!
**[09:33] ---**
The reason I've got you pinned right now
is all thanks to my friends!
**[09:40] ---**
What if pinning me down is
in and of itself pointless?
**[09:45] ---**
Huh?!
**[09:53] ---**
*What?!*
**[09:55] ---**
*This shaking...!*
**[09:57] ---**
What's that sound?!
**[09:58] ---**
Vearn Palace has lost
the Dark Force Reactor, its main power.
**[10:03] ---**
*Now out of control,*
**[10:05] ---**
*the floating properties of its
constituent materials lift it ever higher.*
**[10:11] ---**
*The surface is far, far away.*
**[10:14] ---**
But there is one part of Vearn Palace
that I can still control.
**[10:20] ---**
A part that only I can control.
**[10:24] ---**
Observe.
**[10:31] ---**
The heart?
**[10:33] ---**
But the Dark Force Reactor...
**[10:35] ---**
Yes. You destroyed it.
**[10:37] ---**
But that's not what I'm talking about.
**[10:39] ---**
I mean what lies beneath it.
**[10:46] ---**
W-What?! What is that, Vearn?!
**[10:51] ---**
Vearn Palace's ultimate weapon.
**[10:54] ---**
The Pillar of Vearn!
**[11:02] ---**
GIGA STRASH
**[11:07] ---**
THE DEMONIC GUARD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH
**[11:20] ---**
*The Pillar of Vearn.*
**[11:22] ---**
*I've dropped others just like it
all over the world.*
**[11:31] ---**
*There were six Pillars of Vearn.
One in each block of Vearn Palace.*
**[11:38] ---**
*I've dropped them all over the world.*
**[11:43] ---**
I've dropped five so far.
This is the last pillar that remains.
**[11:48] ---**
What happens if I drop it
below us right now?
**[11:52] ---**
Below us?
**[11:54] ---**
You know, don't you?
It will blow everything away.
**[11:59] ---**
*Queen Flora and the others...
they're below us!*
**[12:02] ---**
Dai, don't let him!
**[12:07] ---**
St-...
**[12:10] ---**
Stop!
**[12:19] ---**
S-Stop!
**[12:20] ---**
Stop! Stop! Stop!
**[12:25] ---**
Stop!
**[14:09] ---**
E-Everyone...
Queen Flora and the others...
**[14:24] ---**
Dai, do you recognize that?
**[14:28] ---**
Huh?
**[14:29] ---**
I'm asking if you recognize that glow.
**[14:37] ---**
Th-That's a...!
**[14:40] ---**
That's...
**[14:44] ---**
A Black Core!
**[14:46] ---**
W-What?!
**[14:48] ---**
*That's the infamous
Underworld super-explosive.*
**[14:53] ---**
*The thing that was implanted
inside Hadlar?!*
**[14:58] ---**
*The thing that killed Dad... A Black Core!*
**[15:03] ---**
The destructive power of a Black Core
increases with its size.
**[15:08] ---**
That one is over ten times the size
of the Core that was in Hadlar.
**[15:12] ---**
Do you understand what that means?
**[15:16] ---**
The one in Hadlar
blew away the entire Field of Death.
**[15:21] ---**
At ten times that size,
this entire area...
**[15:23] ---**
No, the entire Surface World...
**[15:26] ---**
And there are five others like that!
**[15:30] ---**
*Do you remember where they were dropped?*
**[15:34] ---**
*I remember all of them.*
**[15:36] ---**
You humans called it
an indiscriminate attack, but it wasn't.
**[15:41] ---**
I dropped all of them
where they needed to be dropped.
**[15:46] ---**
*First was northwest Romos.*
**[15:50] ---**
*Then southern Orzam.*
**[15:54] ---**
*Valge Island.*
**[15:55] ---**
*Western Papnica.*
**[15:57] ---**
*Ringaia Kingdom.*
**[15:59] ---**
*And here in northern Carl.*
**[16:03] ---**
What happens when you connect the dots?
**[16:08] ---**
*It creates a hexagon!*
**[16:16] ---**
Six giant Black Cores
become the points in a hexagon,
**[16:22] ---**
creating pillars of fire on the surface.
**[16:25] ---**
*Their destructive power is increased
by the hexagonal Magic Circle they create,*
**[16:31] ---**
*completely blowing away the Surface World.*
**[16:35] ---**
And leaving the Underworld in its place.
**[16:41] ---**
That sun that sets in the horizon,
**[16:44] ---**
will tomorrow rise
to light the Underworld.
**[16:49] ---**
Look at it, Dai.
**[16:51] ---**
This is how it ends.
**[16:54] ---**
N-...
**[16:58] ---**
Not yet!
**[16:59] ---**
Not if I can defeat you
before they explode!
**[17:03] ---**
Give it up.
**[17:04] ---**
Defeating me won't stop their detonation.
**[17:07] ---**
You're lying!
**[17:08] ---**
They were all built with a timer.
**[17:11] ---**
In a few minutes,
the Surface World will vanish.
**[17:15] ---**
Th-That won't happen!
**[17:18] ---**
I'll defeat you and then stop them!
**[17:21] ---**
Six locations around the world, alone?
**[17:26] ---**
Like with chess,
**[17:28] ---**
true victors move their pieces
without revealing why until the last move.
**[17:34] ---**
Had anyone with real strength
been left down there,
**[17:38] ---**
there would have been a chance of them
discovering the secret of the Pillars.
**[17:43] ---**
That's why I issued this challenge.
**[17:47] ---**
It's why I chose this last point
as the location.
**[17:53] ---**
As expected, you all
gathered your forces here.
**[17:58] ---**
And this is the result.
**[18:01] ---**
The strongest individuals in the world
have all fallen here.
**[18:05] ---**
None can move. There's nothing you can do.
**[18:11] ---**
Give it up, Dai.
**[18:13] ---**
It's all over.
**[18:15] ---**
Surely you understand now.
**[18:18] ---**
You truly understand
how pointless it is to fight any further.
**[18:23] ---**
N-No!
**[18:26] ---**
I don't accept that!
**[18:28] ---**
It can't be pointless!
**[18:29] ---**
If we... If we all came this far
just to give up...!
**[18:35] ---**
Then will you just take my life?
**[18:39] ---**
If you continue your attack,
you may kill me.
**[18:44] ---**
But it will take more than
a few minutes to finish me.
**[18:48] ---**
Killing me after the Surface World
is annihilated might be entertaining.
**[18:54] ---**
Let me ask just to be sure.
**[18:57] ---**
Did you begin this fight
with the objective of killing me?
**[19:05] ---**
No.
**[19:10] ---**
The reason I started this fight...
**[19:14] ---**
was to protect peace on the Surface World.
**[19:19] ---**
And that which you seek to protect
will soon be gone.
**[19:29] ---**
It will be gone.
**[19:43] ---**
Dai...
**[19:49] ---**
*What's wrong?*
**[19:51] ---**
*What's wrong with me?*
**[19:53] ---**
*The fight isn't over yet!*
**[19:56] ---**
*No... No matter what, I can't give up!*
**[20:01] ---**
*Get up! Get up, Dai!*
**[20:07] ---**
*S-Something's wrong.*
**[20:11] ---**
*Why can't I get up?*
**[20:16] ---**
That look on his face!
**[20:19] ---**
He knows!
**[20:21] ---**
There really is nothing he can do!
**[20:24] ---**
We came... We came all this way
just for things to end like this?!
**[20:30] ---**
D-Dammit!
**[20:32] ---**
Dammit!
**[20:38] ---**
Don't weep. You all truly fought well.
**[20:54] ---**
Now let us watch
the end of the Surface World together.
**[20:58] ---**
This is a historic moment.
**[21:02] ---**
*It's over! All of it!*
**[21:05] ---**
*Our families...*
**[21:08] ---**
*All the important people in the world...*
**[21:11] ---**
*And the ordinary people
oblivious to it all...*
**[21:14] ---**
*Everyone will disappear!*
**[21:16] ---**
*Soon, they're all going
to vanish into nothing!*
**[21:21] ---**
*We couldn't do anything about it!*
**[21:29] ---**
*In the end we failed!*
**[21:33] ---**
By launching the final Pillar of Vearn,
**[21:37] ---**
the timers in all the other Pillars
have been activated.
**[21:41] ---**
*In less than ten minutes,
they will all explode at once.*
**[21:45] ---**
*In less than ten minutes,
the accursed Surface World will be gone!*
**[21:55] ---**
I can't help but feel great satisfaction.
**[22:11] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:11] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:20] ---**
*I gaze at you from behind
as you begin to walk away*
**[22:20] ---**
*arukidasu kimi no ushirosugata wo nagameru*
**[22:30] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:30] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:39] ---**
*We act tough and follow our hearts*
**[22:39] ---**
*massugu de tsuyogari na sonna bokura ga*
**[22:45] ---**
*And we began this tale together*
**[22:45] ---**
*hajimeta monogatari*
**[22:50] ---**
*Beyond the horizon something glimmers*
**[22:50] ---**
*chiheisen no mukou de kirameiteiru*
**[22:56] ---**
*We've been seeking something certain*
**[22:56] ---**
*tashika na mono sagashitsuzukete iruno*
**[23:03] ---**
*In the distant sky, dancing in the wind*
**[23:03] ---**
*haruka sora ni kaze ni nori matte*
**[23:09] ---**
*The birds sing as though
illuminating the future*
**[23:09] ---**
*tobu tori wa naiteita mirai wo terasuyouni*
**[23:15] ---**
*The promise that connects us
The adventure we share*
**[23:15] ---**
*bokura wo tsunagu yakusoku to
bokura de tsumugu bouken wo*
**[23:20] ---**
*Again in this world*
**[23:20] ---**
*mata kono sekai de*
**[23:33] ---**
*The last Pillar of Vearn was dropped.*
**[23:37] ---**
*When the Black Cores
in each pillar emit an ominous glow,*
**[23:40] ---**
*the countdown to the end of
the Surface World begins.*
**[23:43] ---**
*Understanding the situation,
Dai loses the will to even stand up.*
**[23:48] ---**
*Just then, a voice from the surface
reaches Popp's ears.*
**[23:53] ---**
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,*
**[23:55] ---**

**[01:42] ---**
LIKE A BRIGHT FLASH
**[01:50] ---**
I can't help but feel great satisfaction.
**[01:55] ---**
*Of course you do, Dark King Vearn.*
**[02:03] ---**
*You've been at this massive undertaking
for thousands of years.*
**[02:07] ---**
*And now things have finally
come to fruition.*
**[02:10] ---**
*It pains me to admit it,
but you've impressed me.*
**[02:15] ---**
Ah, that's the voice of the one
I once split the Underworld with.
**[02:22] ---**
*Velzar, King of the Abyss.*
**[02:40] ---**
*Velzar?! Isn't Velzar that...*
**[02:46] ---**
How kind of you, Velzar.
**[02:48] ---**
I didn't expect to be
congratulated by you.
**[02:54] ---**
It appears the rumors that
you can't leave the Underworld were true.
**[03:03] ---**
*That battle...*
**[03:05] ---**
*If it wasn't for that battle
with the Dragon Knight...*
**[03:09] ---**
*With my immortal soul,
I could have eventually returned!*
**[03:15] ---**
*But...*
**[03:16] ---**
*the Spirits of Celesta
took my defeated soul*
**[03:20] ---**
*and immediately bound it,
leaving me like this.*
**[03:29] ---**
*While they possess no offensive skills,
they wield mysterious power.*
**[03:42] ---**
*Curse them all! The Dragon Knight!
The Spirits!*
**[03:48] ---**
*That they are all Legacies of the Gods
is all the more frustrating!*
**[03:52] ---**
You got hasty.
**[03:55] ---**
Of course, thanks to that,
I was able to make my move in silence.
**[04:00] ---**
*It's because I knew you intended
to destroy the Surface World.*
**[04:05] ---**
*I wanted the Surface World, too.*
**[04:08] ---**
*I wanted to act
before you were ready to strike.*
**[04:13] ---**
And now, immobile as you may be,
you still retain that ambition.
**[04:19] ---**
Unfortunately, Kill,
that Reaper you sent, is already dead.
**[04:24] ---**
*What?!*
**[04:25] ---**
He was slain by
the Heroes of the Surface World.
**[04:28] ---**
I'm sure you meant for him to take my head
if necessary, but he failed you.
**[04:37] ---**
This bet...
**[04:39] ---**
It appears I've won.
**[04:44] ---**
*A... A bet?*
**[04:48] ---**
This was a bet?!
**[04:50] ---**
That's right. We were originally
enemies in the Underworld.
**[04:55] ---**
But we share the same hatred.
**[04:58] ---**
We despise the gods!
**[05:00] ---**
They tossed us aside and gave only
the humans of the Surface World peace.
**[05:06] ---**
Their injustice is unforgivable!
**[05:08] ---**
The only choice was
for one of us to become a god!
**[05:15] ---**
So we ended our opposition.
**[05:18] ---**
That was some centuries ago.
**[05:21] ---**
That's when I suggested a little bet.
**[05:25] ---**
We would each go ahead with
our own schemes,
**[05:27] ---**
and whoever lost would serve the winner.
**[05:32] ---**
Of course, as you can see from
how Velzar sent Kill to me,
**[05:37] ---**
neither of us
ever fully trusted the other.
**[05:41] ---**
*Even after Velzar fell and was bound,
Kill continued watching me.*
**[05:49] ---**
Even in that state,
Velzar never gave up on the Surface World.
**[05:55] ---**
*Actually, I'm afraid I have no choice
but to admit defeat.*
**[06:02] ---**
*You defeated the current Dragon Knight,*
**[06:04] ---**
*and seek to acquire
even the sun as your own.*
**[06:08] ---**
*You truly are a terrifying man,
Dark King Vearn.*
**[06:13] ---**
Thank you.
**[06:15] ---**
While the Surface World will vanish,
it won't be all bad for you.
**[06:21] ---**
Without the Surface World, the balance
of the Trio of Worlds will crumble.
**[06:26] ---**
Afterwards, if you like,
**[06:28] ---**
I can invade Celesta
and break the seal that binds you.
**[06:34] ---**
Oh? Have I hurt your pride?
**[06:41] ---**
*This is truly a conversation
beyond us mortals!*
**[06:46] ---**
*Immortal souls and becoming gods...*
**[06:51] ---**
*They're talking on
a whole different level!*
**[06:54] ---**
*This is way beyond us!*
**[06:56] ---**
*So that's Dai, son of the one
who vanquished me, Baran.*
**[07:01] ---**
*He's like a corpse. His eyes have no life.*
**[07:05] ---**
*Even considering his defeat at your hands,
he looks so very pathetic.*
**[07:11] ---**
*He's not even half the man Baran was.*
**[07:16] ---**
*Dad?*
**[07:18] ---**
Velzar is such a sore loser.
**[07:21] ---**
As it stands,
Dai is superior to Baran in every way.
**[07:27] ---**
All he lacks is that bloodlust.
**[07:30] ---**
*There were no bounds to Baran's bloodlust.
It was something no one could match.*
**[07:40] ---**
It's hit me! At last, it's hit me!
**[07:45] ---**
It feels real now!
**[07:47] ---**
*My ancient nemesis...*
**[07:50] ---**
The obstacle created by the gods...
**[07:53] ---**
All grovel before me!
**[07:57] ---**
This is absolute victory!
**[08:04] ---**
It's... over.
**[08:15] ---**
*Don't give up!*
**[08:18] ---**
*That voice! It can't be!*
**[08:23] ---**
*Merle!*
**[08:24] ---**
*Don't give up!
You can't lose hope, Popp!*
**[08:30] ---**
You're alive, Merle?!
**[08:32] ---**
Then the others?!
**[08:39] ---**
Queen Flora and the others are okay?!
**[08:41] ---**
*Yes.*
**[08:42] ---**
We're all safe.
**[08:43] ---**
We managed to escape before the explosion.
**[08:48] ---**
*It was truly a shock.*
**[08:50] ---**
*She suddenly woke up
and warned us of the danger.*
**[08:55] ---**
How did you know
the Pillar was coming down?
**[08:59] ---**
And how can I even hear your voice?!
**[09:03] ---**
When I was unconscious,
somehow I knew.
**[09:08] ---**
I knew everything that you knew.
**[09:11] ---**
That's why, when your fear
reached its peak, I woke up.
**[09:16] ---**
*So when Dai was holding Vearn off
with his Zapple, they all got away!*
**[09:21] ---**
But how did you get
such an incredible ability?
**[09:24] ---**
It must be because
I never stopped thinking of you.
**[09:30] ---**
*It seems Popp wasn't the only one
who was reborn in that moment.*
**[09:36] ---**
*Merle, too, awakened to
her untapped potential.*
**[09:41] ---**
We know that you're all in
a dire situation.
**[09:46] ---**
But you can't give up!
**[09:49] ---**
Don't lose hope until the very, very end!
**[09:54] ---**
Merle...
**[09:59] ---**
Oh? It seems they got away indeed.
**[10:03] ---**
But they've only delayed
their deaths by a moment.
**[10:08] ---**
That's right, Merle.
**[10:11] ---**
If you know what I've seen,
then you must know this, too.
**[10:15] ---**
It's over.
**[10:18] ---**
It's really all over.
**[10:21] ---**
The world we live in...
**[10:25] ---**
It's about to vanish forever!
**[10:30] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[10:32] ---**
We weren't strong enough!
**[10:35] ---**
But... there's really...
**[10:38] ---**
There's really nothing we can do!
**[10:42] ---**
No! There's still a way!
**[10:49] ---**
MEDROA
**[10:54] ---**
THE DEMONIC GUARD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH
**[10:58] ---**
There's still a way?
**[11:00] ---**
Right now, Lon Beruk and Nova
are headed to the Pillar!
**[11:04] ---**
That's why you can't give up yet!
**[11:08] ---**
Lon Beruk's headed to the Pillar?!
**[11:15] ---**
Good. A Crack spell completely froze it.
**[11:18] ---**
I was right.
**[11:21] ---**
While it may build up Magic Power,
**[11:24] ---**
a Black Core is basically
a mechanical bomb.
**[11:29] ---**
It won't explode if it doesn't activate.
**[11:32] ---**
While other spells might set it off,
**[11:36] ---**
a Crack spell freezes
the surface of the bomb.
**[11:40] ---**
That's it! If we can freeze
all of the Black Cores...!
**[11:48] ---**
It's Vearn.
**[11:49] ---**
*How foolish, Lon Beruk.*
**[11:52] ---**
*To see you help the humans
in their futile resistance.*
**[11:56] ---**
*You soil the name of
the Craftsman of the Underworld.*
**[11:59] ---**
How do you know it's futile?
**[12:03] ---**
*It's very simple.*
**[12:05] ---**
*The Pillars have already activated.*
**[12:07] ---**
*It occurred simultaneously.*
**[12:10] ---**
*If even one detonates,*
**[12:12] ---**
*the extreme heat will sweep through
the Surface World.*
**[12:15] ---**
*It will most certainly detonate
the remaining Cores.*
**[12:19] ---**
*In other words,
unless you freeze all six Cores...*
**[12:23] ---**
*you can't stop their detonation.*
**[12:27] ---**
*Can you do that
in what little time remains?*
**[12:31] ---**
Lon Beruk.
**[12:32] ---**
Don't get involved in
this foolish struggle.
**[12:35] ---**
If you like, I can summon you
here to Vearn Palace.
**[12:41] ---**
This place will be safe
from the explosions.
**[12:44] ---**
*Surely you're joking.*
**[12:46] ---**
*I refuse.*
**[12:48] ---**
Of the several centuries I've lived,
**[12:51] ---**
I was the most blessed
during my time under you.
**[12:55] ---**
That goes for wealth, too.
**[12:57] ---**
*But...*
**[12:59] ---**
*It was the most bored I've been.*
**[13:01] ---**
*And the strongest feeling of
going to waste I've ever experienced.*
**[13:06] ---**
*I never want to live that way again.*
**[13:09] ---**
*Compared to that, the few weeks
since I've met Dai and his friends,*
**[13:15] ---**
*while short, have been
a truly fulfilling time.*
**[13:20] ---**
They've been as bright as all the other
times of my life combined.
**[13:25] ---**
Given the choice
to make the same mistake again,
**[13:29] ---**
I instead choose to share
the fate of these humans,
**[13:32] ---**
who I've grown somewhat fond of.
**[13:35] ---**
Master!
**[13:41] ---**
The insolence.
**[13:42] ---**
To call service to me a mistake...
**[13:46] ---**
I shall put an end to
that foolish notion right now!
**[14:09] ---**
You. What are you doing?
**[14:14] ---**
Did you hear that, Dai?
**[14:17] ---**
Sounds like we don't have time
to lie around and cry.
**[14:23] ---**
If our chances aren't zero,
then I have to help!
**[14:29] ---**
I can cast Zoom and Crack!
**[14:37] ---**
Popp!
**[14:38] ---**
Fool. By dropping the Pillar of Vearn,
the Magic Circle of Light was vaporized.
**[14:45] ---**
And to protect
Vearn Palace from the explosion,
**[14:49] ---**
I've shielded it with
my Magic Power again.
**[14:53] ---**
You have no way of returning
to the Surface World.
**[14:57] ---**
You still have zero chance.
**[15:01] ---**
I was right!
Crack spells can stop the Black Cores!
**[15:05] ---**
I'll cast Zoom
and head to the Ringaia Pillar!
**[15:09] ---**
Leave Northwest Romos to me!
**[15:11] ---**
Wait! Take us with you!
**[15:14] ---**
First drop us off at Romos Castle.
**[15:18] ---**
We'll see if anyone from
the other countries can use Zoom.
**[15:22] ---**
We need someone
who can get to Western Papnica,
**[15:25] ---**
someone for Valge Island,
and someone for Southern Orzam.
**[15:28] ---**
Search as hard as you can!
**[15:31] ---**
Right!
**[15:33] ---**
*We lack the time and manpower.*
**[15:37] ---**
*Someone who can instantly get
to the Pillars and cast Crack...*
**[15:41] ---**
Dammit! If only I could cast Zoom!
**[15:44] ---**
Then I could go to Papnica!
**[15:46] ---**
Merle, with your power,
**[15:49] ---**
are you able to warn
people around the world of the danger?
**[15:52] ---**
That's beyond my abilities.
**[15:55] ---**
I see.
**[15:57] ---**
Of course.
**[15:58] ---**
Just being able to communicate
with Popp is miraculous.
**[16:03] ---**
*Popp!*
**[16:04] ---**
*Popp, what's wrong?!*
**[16:08] ---**
*What should I do?!*
**[16:11] ---**
What can those little insects
left down there hope to do?
**[16:15] ---**
They have minutes left.
**[16:18] ---**
It's already too late.
**[16:20] ---**
Are you sure?
**[16:23] ---**
Popp...
**[16:26] ---**
So at last, the mighty Dark King
remembers my name.
**[16:31] ---**
How do you like that?
**[16:36] ---**
Why don't you ever give up?!
**[16:41] ---**
Come on! Isn't there anybody?!
**[16:45] ---**
Someone who can get to
Papnica or Orzam right now!
**[16:48] ---**
Someone, step forward!
It doesn't matter who!
**[16:53] ---**
It's no good.
**[16:56] ---**
I managed to freeze another one,
**[17:00] ---**
but I've never been to Orzam.
**[17:03] ---**
I have to fly there, but...
**[17:06] ---**
No! What am I...
**[17:08] ---**
Have I learned nothing from meeting Dai?!
**[17:11] ---**
There's still three Pillars left!
**[17:15] ---**
How can I give up here?!
**[17:21] ---**
I'll crawl there if I have to!
**[17:24] ---**
To Orzam!
**[17:27] ---**
You can't defeat the undefeatable.
**[17:29] ---**
The sooner you accept it,
the easier it will be.
**[17:34] ---**
Take a look at Dai.
**[17:38] ---**
Dai?
**[17:40] ---**
Dai, huh?
**[17:42] ---**
How long do you think his lifespan is?
**[17:47] ---**
He's the child of
a Dragon Knight and a human,
**[17:52] ---**
so I guess it's the same as us humans.
**[17:55] ---**
Or maybe he can live much longer.
**[18:00] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[18:02] ---**
Hey, Dark King.
**[18:04] ---**
How long can you live?
**[18:07] ---**
Thousands of years?
**[18:09] ---**
Tens of thousands?
**[18:12] ---**
Or do you not die?
**[18:14] ---**
You and that monster Velzar...
**[18:18] ---**
I bet you two live a really long time.
**[18:22] ---**
Compared to that,
the lives of us humans
**[18:27] ---**
must be like the flashes of fireworks.
**[18:31] ---**
As I was listening to Lon Beruk just now,
**[18:34] ---**
I remembered.
**[18:36] ---**
Back when I was a kid...
**[18:40] ---**
*I think I was five or six at the time.*
**[18:45] ---**
*One night, I thought about death.*
**[18:48] ---**
*What happens to us when we die?
Where do we go?*
**[18:53] ---**
*The more I thought about it,
the more scared I got.*
**[18:56] ---**
*In the middle of the night,
I started bawling.*
**[19:00] ---**
*My parents rushed to see what was wrong.*
**[19:03] ---**
*"Why do people die?!"*
**[19:06] ---**
*"Why can't they live forever?!"*
**[19:09] ---**
*I was so confused. I couldn't stop crying.*
**[19:14] ---**
*That's when my mom...*
**[19:17] ---**
*My mom held me close.*
**[19:20] ---**
*And then she said to me...*
**[19:23] ---**
*Everybody dies someday.*
**[19:27] ---**
*That's why... That's why...*
**[19:30] ---**
*everyone puts all
of their might into living.*
**[19:36] ---**
So she said.
**[19:49] ---**
Compared to guys like you
living up in the clouds,
**[19:56] ---**
the lives of us humans
last no more than an instant, right?
**[20:04] ---**
But that's why, even if it won't
change anything, we'll keep struggling!
**[20:13] ---**
We'll put all of our might into
living to the very end!
**[20:17] ---**
It doesn't matter whether we've got
50 years left or 5 minutes!
**[20:24] ---**
It's only for an instant,
**[20:27] ---**
but like a bright flash...
**[20:29] ---**
we'll burn bright
and live to the very end!
**[20:34] ---**
That's how we humans live!
**[20:38] ---**
So take a good, hard look, you bastard!
**[20:51] ---**
*Popp...*
**[20:53] ---**
*That's it, Popp.*
**[20:55] ---**
*That's the Popp I love.*
**[20:58] ---**
*Keep trying until the end!*
**[21:11] ---**
*Whenever I truly felt hopeless...*
**[21:16] ---**
*Whenever I truly felt like giving up...*
**[21:22] ---**
*You always helped give me that last push.*
**[21:28] ---**
*You always helped me stand up.*
**[21:34] ---**
*You're my greatest friend...*
**[21:37] ---**
*Popp!*
**[21:43] ---**
*I'm so glad that...*
**[21:46] ---**
*I met you!*
**[21:49] ---**
Dai!
**[22:11] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:11] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:20] ---**
*arukidasu kimi no ushirosugata wo nagameru*
**[22:20] ---**
*I gaze at you from behind
as you begin to walk away*
**[22:30] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[22:30] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:39] ---**
*massugu de tsuyogari na sonna bokura ga*
**[22:39] ---**
*We act tough and follow our hearts*
**[22:45] ---**
*hajimeta monogatari*
**[22:45] ---**
*And we began this tale together*

THE TEAR OF THE GODS
**[01:57] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[02:05] ---**
Get off me!
**[02:11] ---**
*Something's wrong!*
**[02:13] ---**
*These two have lost their minds!*
**[02:16] ---**
*There should be no way
they can hope to win this!*
**[02:20] ---**
*There should be no point in attacking me!*
**[02:24] ---**
*Even with no way to fight,
they keep throwing themselves at me!*
**[02:30] ---**
*They're like a pack of undead!*
**[02:34] ---**
*It doesn't make sense!
This is beyond my understanding!*
**[02:38] ---**
*Is it like Popp said?!*
**[02:39] ---**
*Are humans creatures that possess
fathomless emotional drive?!*
**[02:46] ---**
Enough! Don't touch me,
you disgusting thing!
**[02:51] ---**
Why?!
**[02:52] ---**
Why do you persist in this futility?!
**[02:55] ---**
What point is there in fighting me?!
**[02:58] ---**
If we defeat you, the barrier will fade.
**[03:02] ---**
When the barrier's gone,
we'll go freeze the Pillars.
**[03:06] ---**
It all works out perfectly.
**[03:08] ---**
Where's the issue?
**[03:13] ---**
Begone!
**[03:35] ---**
Oh my. I guess I got the hang of it
at the very last moment.
**[03:41] ---**
You did use it a lot, after all.
**[03:44] ---**
I guess I really am a genius or something.
**[03:49] ---**
You've always been a genius, Popp!
**[03:54] ---**
*It's stuck!*
**[03:59] ---**
*My sword is sticking in Vearn
of its own will!*
**[04:07] ---**
*If all three of his hearts heal,*
**[04:10] ---**
*he'll regenerate his arm and use
the Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth!*
**[04:15] ---**
*My sword is fighting
to prevent him from doing that!*
**[04:20] ---**
*No one has given up!*
**[04:24] ---**
I can't give up either!
**[04:28] ---**
You fool!
**[04:33] ---**
Dai!
**[04:37] ---**
That's enough from you.
**[04:40] ---**
I realize it now.
**[04:42] ---**
It isn't just the Surface World.
**[04:44] ---**
You humans, too,
are an intolerable obstacle to me.
**[04:51] ---**
If you really hold
such an impossible dream,
**[04:55] ---**
then I'll erase it here and now!
**[04:58] ---**
I'll ignore the countdown timer
**[05:01] ---**
and hit the Pillar below
with my Magic Power!
**[05:05] ---**
This time you'll have to give up hope!
**[05:13] ---**
*Move! This body of mine!*
**[05:16] ---**
*Dai and Popp are fighting
so far beyond their limits!*
**[05:21] ---**
*What sort of friends would we be
if we didn't risk our lives, too?!*
**[05:25] ---**
*What did we all come this far for?!*
**[05:29] ---**
*Please! Please!*
**[05:32] ---**
*Move so we can help them!*
**[05:36] ---**
*Please! Move!*
**[05:48] ---**
W-What?!
**[05:50] ---**
What is...?!
**[05:53] ---**
Th-The Eyes?!
**[05:57] ---**
The Eyes are...?!
**[05:59] ---**
The Eyes are...!
**[06:08] ---**
He's scared! Vearn's scared!
**[06:11] ---**
Of course he is.
**[06:13] ---**
That's... a miracle!
**[06:16] ---**
*A miracle?! Impossible!
There are no miracles!*
**[06:21] ---**
*That's right! The Eyes couldn't possibly
move of their own accord!*
**[06:27] ---**
*Someone, somewhere, must be controlling
the Eyes and making a fool of me!*
**[06:33] ---**
*That's the only possibility!*
**[06:39] ---**
Right there!
**[06:45] ---**
Ow!
**[06:48] ---**
Leona!
**[06:50] ---**
I'm back!
**[06:51] ---**
So it was you!
**[06:53] ---**
Princess Leona. It was your doing.
**[06:58] ---**
You may be royalty,
**[07:01] ---**
but to possess enough Magic Power
to control the Eyes...
**[07:05] ---**
I underestimated you!
**[07:07] ---**
*Wait. There's no way I have such power.*
**[07:13] ---**
*If... If there's anything
that can cause such a miracle...*
**[07:24] ---**
Th-The Tear of the Gods!
**[07:26] ---**
Huh?!
**[07:28] ---**
You had such a thing?!
**[07:31] ---**
You possessed such a powerful thing?!
**[07:35] ---**
Just where did you get that?!
**[07:40] ---**
Leona!
**[07:48] ---**
I see.
**[07:49] ---**
It's the Slime
that was traveling with you!
**[07:53] ---**
Gomechan!
**[07:56] ---**
This thing...
**[07:58] ---**
This thing...!
**[08:00] ---**
Stop it!
**[08:02] ---**
Let go of Gomechan!
**[08:04] ---**
That's right!
**[08:05] ---**
The great Dark King losing his head
over a single Slime? Where's your pride?!
**[08:10] ---**
You really don't know.
**[08:13] ---**
This isn't a Slime.
**[08:16] ---**
No.
**[08:17] ---**
It's not even a living creature.
**[08:19] ---**
Huh?!
**[08:20] ---**
This is... an item.
**[08:24] ---**
A living item created by the gods.
**[08:27] ---**
It's known as the "Tear of the Gods"
in the Underworld.
**[08:32] ---**
It contains a tiny bit
of the power of the gods,
**[08:35] ---**
and grants the wish of whoever holds it,
**[08:38] ---**
performing miracles.
**[08:40] ---**
It's fractured the balance between
the Trio of Worlds time and time again.
**[08:46] ---**
For it allows the powerless
to suddenly gain great power.
**[08:51] ---**
You're lying! Gomechan's been my friend
since long ago!
**[08:56] ---**
We've been friends ever since we met
back on Dermline Island!
**[09:03] ---**
He can't be an item!
**[09:05] ---**
I don't know why it's taken this form,
**[09:08] ---**
but only the power of the gods could
breach the Magic Power of my Eye Jewels.
**[09:15] ---**
This is indeed the Tear of the Gods.
**[09:21] ---**
Now I understand why the invincible
Dark Army was driven back this far.
**[09:27] ---**
The Dragon Knight
and the Tear of the Gods.
**[09:30] ---**
You had both of these
Legacies of the Gods.
**[09:34] ---**
The miraculous power of the gods got you
through absolute peril again and again.
**[09:42] ---**
You're wrong.
**[09:46] ---**
It's true that Gomechan's strange power
has helped us numerous times.
**[09:52] ---**
But...
**[09:53] ---**
we never relied on miracles.
**[09:56] ---**
Every time we were saved,
it was always by something small.
**[10:04] ---**
He may be an item, but he has a soul!
**[10:07] ---**
It was Gomechan who helped us!
**[10:09] ---**
With that tiny body, using all his might!
**[10:13] ---**
Please! Don't take the life of our friend!
**[10:18] ---**
Don't kill Gomechan!
**[10:21] ---**
Indeed.
**[10:22] ---**
It appears it only granted small wishes.
**[10:26] ---**
Even a normal item could do that much.
**[10:31] ---**
However...
**[10:32] ---**
that's merely because
you didn't know how to use it!
**[10:36] ---**
Now that you know its true power...
**[10:38] ---**
Don't!
**[10:39] ---**
...I can't just...
**[10:42] ---**
leave it be!
**[10:59] ---**
*Shatter! Disappear and begone!*
**[11:02] ---**
*The Tear of the Gods can't be left
in human hands!*
**[11:07] ---**
*That's right! Not even
a single fragment of it!*
**[11:12] ---**
Gomechan!
**[11:25] ---**
Dermline Island?
**[11:30] ---**
TEAR OF THE GODS
**[11:35] ---**
GIGA STRASH
**[11:39] ---**
Dermline Island?
**[11:42] ---**
*That's right, Dai.*
**[11:44] ---**
*It's where we first met.*
**[11:49] ---**
The island of our memories.
**[11:51] ---**
Gomechan! You're talking!
**[11:54] ---**
I see. So it was true.
**[11:57] ---**
When Popp hung between life and death,
he said he heard your voice.
**[12:04] ---**
So where are we?
**[12:06] ---**
Inside your consciousness.
**[12:08] ---**
Here inside our minds,
time has stopped for us.
**[12:13] ---**
Really?
**[12:15] ---**
Say, Gomechan...
**[12:17] ---**
It's not true, right?
That you're an item made by the gods.
**[12:23] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[12:24] ---**
I'm... the Tear of the Gods.
**[12:29] ---**
But we've been friends all this time.
**[12:33] ---**
Ever since I was young.
**[12:36] ---**
We laughed and cried and played together.
**[12:41] ---**
Now that it's over,
I finally know the truth myself.
**[12:46] ---**
*A single tear the gods shed for the weak,
suffering creatures of the Surface World.*
**[12:54] ---**
*They say that was the Tear of the Gods.*
**[12:57] ---**
*The only item of its kind in the world,
it grants the wish of whoever holds it.*
**[13:04] ---**
That's what I am.
**[13:07] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[13:10] ---**
It's okay.
**[13:12] ---**
I'm just a little surprised.
**[13:14] ---**
It doesn't really matter what you are.
**[13:18] ---**
You're still our friend.
**[13:21] ---**
You really are the sort of person
I thought you were.
**[13:25] ---**
I'm glad I heard your wish.
**[13:28] ---**
My wish?
**[13:30] ---**
You don't remember.
You were still young back then.
**[13:35] ---**
The reason the Tear of the Gods has a soul
is so it can identify evil wishes
**[13:39] ---**
and not grant them.
**[13:41] ---**
*After granting my previous wish,
I was reincarnated on Dermline Island.*
**[13:47] ---**
*It was the purest place in the world.*
**[13:51] ---**
*An island full of monsters?*
**[13:55] ---**
I get it. Not every human
is a good person.
**[14:00] ---**
The rumors of the Golden Metal Slime
**[14:03] ---**
may have been a distortion of
the legend of the Tear of the Gods.
**[14:08] ---**
*I escaped to Dermline Island
to avoid the greedy souls of humans.*
**[14:14] ---**
*That's when I met you.*
**[14:17] ---**
Me?
**[14:19] ---**
Dai, think back.
**[14:26] ---**
Try to remember.
**[14:30] ---**
*Long ago.*
**[14:34] ---**
*Even further back.*
**[14:54] ---**
Who's there?
**[15:02] ---**
Don't be afraid.
**[15:10] ---**
Come here.
**[15:19] ---**
Be my friend.
**[15:34] ---**
That's right, Dai.
**[15:36] ---**
It was you.
**[15:39] ---**
It was your wish that made me like this.
**[15:45] ---**
Then...
**[15:47] ---**
you heard my wish.
**[15:50] ---**
You heard my wish... to have a friend.
**[15:57] ---**
All this time...
**[15:59] ---**
All this time you were granting it!
**[16:04] ---**
*All this time... for me!*
**[16:14] ---**
But...
**[16:15] ---**
it's time to say goodbye.
**[16:18] ---**
Gomechan?!
**[16:20] ---**
Don't worry.
**[16:21] ---**
I'll just become
the Tear of the Gods again.
**[16:24] ---**
But it takes as long to regenerate
as it did to grant a wish.
**[16:30] ---**
So it'll take over a decade.
**[16:33] ---**
And when I return,
I'll have forgotten everything.
**[16:39] ---**
I won't remember you or anyone else.
**[16:43] ---**
That's my one true regret.
**[16:47] ---**
Gomechan.
**[16:49] ---**
I was almost out of power anyways.
**[16:54] ---**
During my adventures with you...
**[16:56] ---**
I've been granting everyone's wishes
without realizing it.
**[17:01] ---**
That's probably why
my body suddenly shrunk.
**[17:07] ---**
But it's okay.
**[17:10] ---**
We had fun.
**[17:13] ---**
We truly had fun... the entire way.
**[17:18] ---**
*Dai...*
**[17:25] ---**
N-No! Don't disappear, Gomechan!
Don't disappear!
**[17:31] ---**
Lastly, Dai...
**[17:34] ---**
For you... and for everyone...
**[17:38] ---**
I'll try to use my power.
**[17:40] ---**
What do you wish for?
**[17:43] ---**
Is there anything you want me to grant?
**[17:46] ---**
A wish?
**[17:48] ---**
What I wish for the most right now...
**[17:53] ---**
is...
**[17:55] ---**
that our hearts unite.
**[17:58] ---**
If I could unite the hearts
of everyone in the world...
**[18:04] ---**
Their hearts?
**[18:05] ---**
If only for a short time.
**[18:08] ---**
Like Merle and Popp.
**[18:10] ---**
If I could tell the people
around the world what we know,
**[18:15] ---**
then maybe...
**[18:17] ---**
just maybe...
**[18:19] ---**
I'll give it a try.
**[18:21] ---**
With the last of my power.
**[18:24] ---**
But if I can't do it, please forgive me.
**[18:33] ---**
Goodbye, Dai.
**[18:35] ---**
Gomechan! Gomechan! Gomechan!
**[18:40] ---**
Gomechan!
**[18:53] ---**
It's almost time for the detonation.
**[18:58] ---**
This time for certain...
your hopes have all been dashed.
**[19:07] ---**
*Stand up, Dai!*
**[19:11] ---**
Your thoughts have reached us!
**[19:14] ---**
Even in this northern wasteland,
there's still a Hero, so don't worry!
**[19:20] ---**
Even though I'm not a real one!
**[19:24] ---**
*It... It came true!*
**[19:27] ---**
We heard all your inner voices!
**[19:31] ---**
They probably reached
all the people that you know!
**[19:34] ---**
It looks like Gomechan
was indeed an amazing treasure!
**[19:37] ---**
We should have captured him
no matter what it took!
**[19:40] ---**
Come on! To the top of the Pillar!
**[19:45] ---**
*Dai!*
**[19:47] ---**
This is Apollo!
**[19:48] ---**
I'm already freezing
the Pillar at Valge Island!
**[19:52] ---**
This is Marin! I've got the Pillar
in Western Papnica!
**[19:56] ---**
Don't give up until the very end, Dai!
**[20:00] ---**
Dai...
**[20:01] ---**
Everyone...
**[20:28] ---**
I feel... the thoughts of people
from around the world!
**[20:33] ---**
Our prayers...
**[20:35] ---**
The world is united... as one!!
**[20:43] ---**
I heard it.
**[20:45] ---**
-Princess!
-Yes!
**[20:47] ---**
I hear voices from around the world!
**[20:49] ---**
They're all headed to the Pillars!
**[20:51] ---**
What?! What nonsense is this?!
**[20:55] ---**
Merle, you heard it, right?!
We aren't hearing things, right?!
**[20:59] ---**
Yes, Popp! Everyone...
Everyone is saying they hear it!
**[21:06] ---**
Wow... Oh wow!
**[21:09] ---**
Enough! Stop your crazy rambling!
**[21:14] ---**
Voices from around the world?!
That's not possible!
**[21:20] ---**
What is this light?!
**[21:23] ---**
It's Gomechan.
**[21:25] ---**
At the very final moment,
Gomechan granted...
**[21:31] ---**
my wish!
**[21:33] ---**
To unite the world. To unite the hearts
of everyone in the world.
**[21:39] ---**
That was my wish!
**[22:11] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[22:11] ---**

DAI'S DECISION
**[01:47] ---**
Why is there a monster here?!
**[01:52] ---**
I'm here as a guardian
to prevent the Core from being frozen!
**[01:58] ---**
Now you'll burn to death!
**[02:04] ---**
Don't be so sure.
**[02:10] ---**
We don't have time.
**[02:12] ---**
You can disappear!
**[02:28] ---**
Brother!
**[02:30] ---**
Yo.
**[02:32] ---**
So you're still alive.
**[02:35] ---**
I haven't seen you
since you ran away from our master.
**[02:44] ---**
Brother!
**[02:52] ---**
It's too late! It's gonna blow!
**[03:02] ---**
Masopho, you'll have to do it.
**[03:08] ---**
That's why you're here, right?
**[03:11] ---**
But how can my magic...?
**[03:18] ---**
There's no running away this time.
**[03:21] ---**
The world's going to disappear.
**[03:25] ---**
If you call yourself a man...
**[03:27] ---**
for once in your life...
**[03:29] ---**
try to be a true hero.
**[03:44] ---**
What are you waiting for, Masopho?!
**[03:48] ---**
We'll help you, so just cast it!
**[03:51] ---**
I don't want to die yet!
**[03:54] ---**
Yeah! Yeah!
**[04:21] ---**
The miracle performed by the Tear of
the Gods may have united the world,
**[04:28] ---**
but it's meaningless now!
**[04:33] ---**
The Cores will detonate...
**[04:37] ---**
Here goes!
**[04:38] ---**
...now!
**[04:40] ---**
Ready and...!
**[04:51] ---**
Please freeze!
**[05:25] ---**
The explosion...
**[05:28] ---**
Where's the explosion?!
**[05:37] ---**
It stopped.
**[05:41] ---**
Brother!
**[05:46] ---**
Hooray!
**[06:20] ---**
Oh! This is...!
**[06:23] ---**
They did it!
**[06:26] ---**
The sky... is like shining gold!
**[06:52] ---**
This... can it be...?
**[06:55] ---**
Yeah.
**[06:57] ---**
Gome's saying goodbye to all of us.
**[07:04] ---**
Gomechan...
**[07:07] ---**
*You really were...*
**[07:14] ---**
*See you... Gome.*
**[07:24] ---**
*I wish I could be there to hold you.*
**[07:28] ---**
*At least...*
**[07:31] ---**
*until you disappear.*
**[07:43] ---**
*Gomechan.*
**[07:44] ---**
*I won't say goodbye.*
**[07:47] ---**
*When you become the Tear of the Gods again
and fall somewhere below...*
**[07:54] ---**
*I promise I'll find you again.*
**[08:00] ---**
*And when I do...*
**[08:02] ---**
*I swear I'll make the same wish again.*
**[08:09] ---**
*And then we can play together again.*
**[08:14] ---**
*So... see you then!*
**[08:43] ---**
How's that, Vearn?!
**[08:45] ---**
We've beaten you!
**[08:47] ---**
The destruction of the Surface World
was inevitable, but we stopped it!
**[08:58] ---**
The human bonds you laughed at
ended up performing a miracle!
**[09:04] ---**
It allowed us to win!
**[09:09] ---**
You'll never destroy the Surface World!
**[09:21] ---**
Hey! What's wrong?!
Say something, Mister Dark King!
**[09:29] ---**
Ah. Sorry about that.
**[09:32] ---**
I was just thinking for a bit.
**[09:37] ---**
Well. It looks like I've lost.
**[09:41] ---**
The power of human bonds...
**[09:45] ---**
How terrifying.
**[09:47] ---**
I accept it. I've lost.
**[09:52] ---**
But this has left me confused.
**[09:57] ---**
How can humans possess such great power...
**[10:02] ---**
and yet use it to pointless ends?
**[10:06] ---**
Or rather...
**[10:08] ---**
Is it because the power is so great
that they waste it on pointless things?
**[10:14] ---**
Do you have an answer
to that question, Popp?
**[10:20] ---**
Will you educate me?
**[10:24] ---**
Before I...
**[10:26] ---**
slaughter all of you.
**[10:30] ---**
Yes. I will slaughter all of you here.
**[10:35] ---**
And then, I will repeat what I did before.
**[10:40] ---**
Your lives are but an instant.
**[10:43] ---**
I, on the other hand, can live forever.
**[10:48] ---**
You risked your lives
to make this miracle happen.
**[10:54] ---**
But...
**[10:56] ---**
You did nothing but buy some time.
**[10:59] ---**
So long as I have eternal life,
**[11:02] ---**
your efforts are nothing
but self-gratification.
**[11:07] ---**
That's why I don't understand.
**[11:12] ---**
I don't understand you humans
and your pointless achievements.
**[11:22] ---**
I will kill you!
**[11:25] ---**
The blood of the Dragon Knights will end,
**[11:28] ---**
and the mightiest of
the Surface World will fall!
**[11:32] ---**
That is how it ends.
**[11:33] ---**
The Surface World Destruction Project
will resume!
**[11:38] ---**
And this time,
there will be no obstructions!
**[11:49] ---**
So you finally realize it.
**[11:52] ---**
Just how different
the scale on which we work is.
**[11:56] ---**
As you've said, humans are impressive.
They're unbelievable creatures.
**[12:02] ---**
You were beautiful in your final moments.
**[12:06] ---**
Like a bright flash!
**[12:09] ---**
Dammit!
**[12:11] ---**
We managed to pull off a miracle.
**[12:14] ---**
And yet, he gets to win in the end!
**[12:19] ---**
Dammit!
**[12:22] ---**
*We can't let this happen.*
**[12:25] ---**
*Gomechan's final gift...
What everyone managed to do...*
**[12:30] ---**
*It can't have been for nothing!*
**[12:33] ---**
*Can't we do anything?!*
**[12:36] ---**
*Any desperate method will do.*
**[12:38] ---**
*Is there a way to save everyone's future?*
**[12:49] ---**
*There is.*
**[12:51] ---**
Well, even if we can't win,
all we can do is resist until the end!
**[12:57] ---**
You're right.
**[13:01] ---**
So you'll resist, Dai.
**[13:04] ---**
Leona, Popp, gather all the Eyes.
**[13:09] ---**
Why?
**[13:09] ---**
Hurry! Please!
**[13:12] ---**
R-Right!
**[13:15] ---**
Okay. That's all eight.
**[13:20] ---**
So, what now?
**[13:23] ---**
Hold onto those and keep them safe.
**[13:26] ---**
Safe?
**[13:28] ---**
Something terrible is about to happen.
**[13:33] ---**
There's one last thing that I want to try.
**[13:40] ---**
But... it scares me.
**[13:44] ---**
I don't know what's going to happen,
so keep everyone safe.
**[13:50] ---**
And get out of Vearn Palace.
**[13:55] ---**
What are you talking about?
Have you forgotten about the field?!
**[14:00] ---**
Don't worry.
**[14:01] ---**
If I'm right about this,
the field will disappear.
**[14:08] ---**
Because Vearn...
**[14:10] ---**
will die!
**[14:14] ---**
Save your hollow threats.
**[14:16] ---**
No matter how the three of you
come at me, you can't win.
**[14:22] ---**
Not the three of us.
**[14:28] ---**
I'm fighting alone!
**[14:31] ---**
Two Dragon Crests?!
**[14:34] ---**
You're going to fight alone?
**[14:37] ---**
Then my victory is all the more assured!
**[14:41] ---**
There's still a way.
**[14:44] ---**
The last resort!
**[14:46] ---**
I'm going to unleash the full power
of my Twin Dragon Crests!
**[14:54] ---**
And what of it?
**[14:56] ---**
Are you saying you haven't
been fighting at full strength?
**[15:03] ---**
I've been at full strength the whole time.
**[15:05] ---**
But within the limits of
being able to remain myself.
**[15:11] ---**
A Dragon Knight can go one step further.
**[15:15] ---**
*The Dragonoid!*
**[15:17] ---**
I... can tell.
**[15:20] ---**
I could tell as I was fighting.
**[15:23] ---**
If my Crest is at ten...
**[15:25] ---**
then the Crest Dad gave me on my left hand
is only working at three or four.
**[15:36] ---**
I'm guessing my body
is restricting its own power.
**[15:41] ---**
It's maintaining a level
where I can remain normal.
**[15:45] ---**
So if I willingly unleash
both Crests at full power,
**[15:50] ---**
*my strength should increase explosively!*
**[15:55] ---**
Probably.
**[15:57] ---**
Like the Dragonoid.
**[15:59] ---**
Don't do it!
**[16:00] ---**
You can't!
**[16:01] ---**
That means you won't be yourself anymore!
**[16:08] ---**
I don't want that either.
**[16:11] ---**
It scares me.
**[16:13] ---**
I don't know what sort of form I'll take.
**[16:16] ---**
Or if I'll be able to change back
after defeating my enemy.
**[16:20] ---**
Like Dad could.
**[16:23] ---**
I wanted us to win together.
**[16:25] ---**
Until the very end, I wanted to protect
the peace as the Hero of the human world.
**[16:33] ---**
Not as something that's not me.
**[16:37] ---**
But...
**[16:39] ---**
while I don't want to become a monster...
**[16:44] ---**
to have everyone's future crushed...
**[16:48] ---**
is even worse!
**[17:03] ---**
Popp...
**[17:05] ---**
You're...
**[17:06] ---**
an idiot.
**[17:08] ---**
You're such an idiot.
**[17:12] ---**
You're going to protect us
and the future of the Surface World.
**[17:17] ---**
And you're willing to cast aside
even your own existence to do so!
**[17:25] ---**
Don't be shocked, Popp.
**[17:28] ---**
No matter what I look like.
**[17:31] ---**
As if!
**[17:34] ---**
Of course I'll see you through to the end.
**[17:43] ---**
No matter what you look like,
you're still you!
**[17:48] ---**
Yes. You're still Dai!
**[17:55] ---**
Thank you.
**[18:11] ---**
Popp! Leona!
**[18:16] ---**
What a pity.
They couldn't watch your brave stand.
**[18:20] ---**
They've all sunken
deep within Vearn Palace.
**[18:29] ---**
Are you angry? Unleash your anger!
**[18:33] ---**
If you really possess this power
you speak of, then I want to see it!
**[18:42] ---**
In that case...
**[18:46] ---**
In that case, watch this!
**[19:02] ---**
I'll return my Crest to my forehead.
And I'll move Dad's Crest there, too.
**[19:08] ---**
Now, they'll become one within me!
**[19:39] ---**
What an Aura!
**[19:41] ---**
You monster!
**[19:43] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:46] ---**
That's right, Vearn.
**[19:49] ---**
One worse than you!
**[19:57] ---**
I'll slice you to ribbons!
**[20:03] ---**
Calamitous...
**[20:06] ---**
End!
**[20:45] ---**
*No! This isn't Dai!*
**[20:49] ---**
*Those beast-like eyes are Baran's!*
**[20:55] ---**
Power is justice.
**[20:57] ---**
That's what you always said!
**[21:17] ---**
Is this...
**[21:19] ---**
Is this... Is this... justice?!
**[21:25] ---**
Are you satisfied being pummeled
by an even greater power?!
**[21:32] ---**
This can't be... This can't be...
**[21:36] ---**
This can't be justice!
**[21:48] ---**
*Those eyes.*
**[21:51] ---**
*They're what Baran had but Dai lacked...*
**[21:54] ---**
*That fathomless bloodlust!*
**[21:59] ---**
*I won't lose!*
**[22:01] ---**
*Failure cannot be allowed!*
**[22:04] ---**

VICTORY BY THESE HANDS
**[02:26] ---**
My connection with Popp...
**[02:30] ---**
My friends...!
**[02:41] ---**
Where am I?
**[02:43] ---**
Larhart!
**[02:46] ---**
You've woken up to a bad situation.
As have all of us.
**[02:50] ---**
What?!
**[02:58] ---**
It looks like we're in the heart
of Vearn Palace itself.
**[03:02] ---**
We were dropped from the very top
and trapped in here.
**[03:05] ---**
What?!
**[03:15] ---**
Refractor Fist!
**[03:35] ---**
It's no good.
**[03:36] ---**
The walls of the heart must be the same
as those of the Dark Force Reactor.
**[03:41] ---**
They absorb all Magic Power
and have incredible regenerative power.
**[03:45] ---**
But to absorb an Overheal spell...!
**[03:49] ---**
Hmm.
**[03:51] ---**
Seeing as we've all returned to normal,
**[03:55] ---**
either Dai has struck a critical blow
to the Dark King,
**[03:58] ---**
or he's severed the flow
of his Magic Power.
**[04:01] ---**
*Should their fierce battle
shatter Vearn Palace,*
**[04:04] ---**
*Vearn doesn't have the Magic Power
to maintain it anymore.*
**[04:08] ---**
*We'll fall to the surface along with
this heart and be killed on impact.*
**[04:14] ---**
You're kidding me! After coming this far?!
**[04:25] ---**
How about this?!
**[04:27] ---**
Medroa!
**[04:41] ---**
It didn't work! Not even that!
**[04:45] ---**
When up against a target that absorbs
Magic Power, not even Medroa will work.
**[04:53] ---**
Popp!
**[04:55] ---**
Uh... I'm okay. I just got a little woozy.
**[05:00] ---**
My mind's still sharp, though!
**[05:07] ---**
Even this thing can't be invulnerable.
**[05:10] ---**
There must be a way out!
**[05:13] ---**
Dai is...
**[05:17] ---**
Our Dai is...
**[05:22] ---**
He's risking everything to fight,
and for what?!
**[05:27] ---**
It sure ain't for us to die
a meaningless death here!
**[05:42] ---**
Dammit!
**[05:52] ---**
We've all tried our Aura attacks,
but nothing works!
**[05:56] ---**
That's not true!
**[06:00] ---**
See? While Magic Power has no effect,
Aura attacks do damage it!
**[06:06] ---**
The issue is the power!
**[06:09] ---**
We need to hit this wall with a blow
that outmatches its regenerative power!
**[06:14] ---**
Then we can escape with a Zoom spell!
**[06:16] ---**
But we don't have
that sort of power left in us!
**[06:21] ---**
Dai's Doruora is the only thing
that's managed to pierce the heart.
**[06:27] ---**
Simple destructive power
can't breach this wall.
**[06:32] ---**
The Dragon Knight's Doruora
was able to do so
**[06:35] ---**
because of its overwhelming Aura energy!
**[06:44] ---**
*Hold on! It's too soon to lose hope!*
**[06:48] ---**
*There's something...
something we're forgetting.*
**[06:51] ---**
*Something we can do that,
while not as great as Doruora,*
**[06:56] ---**
*can fire Aura at full power...!*
**[07:01] ---**
That's it! That's it!
**[07:07] ---**
Grand Cross!
**[07:09] ---**
Grand Cross?!
**[07:10] ---**
I see!
**[07:11] ---**
That's it!
**[07:13] ---**
Don't be absurd, Popp!
Hyunckel can't use it in his condition!
**[07:18] ---**
-Relax, Maam!
-Huh?
**[07:20] ---**
Who's the one
who taught Hyunckel that skill?
**[07:26] ---**
That's right!
**[07:30] ---**
Master Avan is the original user
of the Grand Cross!
**[07:35] ---**
Isn't that right, Master?
**[07:39] ---**
Come on, Master! Quickly!
**[07:46] ---**
My, my! Well done, Popp!
What quick thinking!
**[07:50] ---**
Good job realizing that!
**[07:53] ---**
Well then, I suppose
I should just take things from here!
**[07:58] ---**
With one quick go!
**[07:59] ---**
Yay! Take it away, Master! Yay! Yay!
**[08:04] ---**
Stop it!
**[08:06] ---**
Don't let him, Popp!
**[08:08] ---**
-Do you want to lose our Master again?!
-Huh?!
**[08:12] ---**
Avan can't do it.
**[08:15] ---**
Grand Cross is a last resort
for when you can no longer use your sword.
**[08:20] ---**
That's the skill Avan taught me.
**[08:22] ---**
It's basically a secret weapon.
**[08:26] ---**
*Only I can use it at that level.*
**[08:30] ---**
Or rather, only I can use it and survive.
**[08:35] ---**
That's right.
**[08:37] ---**
Grand Cross can easily become
a self-destruct attack.
**[08:41] ---**
To unleash it at full power and survive...
**[08:45] ---**
Indeed, Hyunckel, that's truly
a miraculous skill you attained in battle.
**[08:52] ---**
You could even call it god-like.
**[08:55] ---**
I may not be able to do it,
**[08:58] ---**
but right now, I'll take a chance
on the impossible!
**[09:02] ---**
-Master!
-Master!
**[09:03] ---**
You don't have to do that!
**[09:06] ---**
Not if I do it instead!
**[09:07] ---**
You can't, Hyunckel! If you do that...!
**[09:10] ---**
But someone has to put
their life on the line and do it.
**[09:15] ---**
Right, Maam?
**[09:16] ---**
But...!
**[09:25] ---**
There's no time! I'll do it!
**[09:27] ---**
No, I'll do it!
**[09:34] ---**
Little Hym is...!
**[09:35] ---**
No way!
**[09:39] ---**
I remember it well.
**[09:42] ---**
*It's that thing
you tried against me, right?*
**[09:45] ---**
I'm just imitating here, but...
**[09:48] ---**
I think it was like this!
**[09:58] ---**
*Hym is using Grand Cross?!*
**[10:02] ---**
*No! Hym's body can't take it!*
**[10:05] ---**
Stop, Hym! I'll do it!
**[10:07] ---**
Just leave it to me!
**[10:09] ---**
No can do!
**[10:11] ---**
If you die here,
I'll never be able to beat you!
**[10:14] ---**
Don't be a fool!
**[10:17] ---**
Hym!
**[10:20] ---**
To be honest...
**[10:23] ---**
I've taken a liking to you! You humans!
**[10:27] ---**
And your friends as well!
**[10:31] ---**
I like all of you! Everyone here!
**[10:36] ---**
You're all willing to foolishly give
your lives to protect your bonds!
**[10:42] ---**
You're just like my comrades!
**[10:45] ---**
I don't want to see
any of you sad ever again!
**[10:53] ---**
Hym!
**[10:54] ---**
Don't underestimate me!
**[10:57] ---**
If you're immortal...
If you're immortal...
**[11:02] ---**
Then I'm also immortal!
**[11:24] ---**
Zoom!
**[11:51] ---**
It's the fall of Vearn Palace!
**[11:58] ---**
Little Hym, you fought well!
We'll never forget what you've done!
**[12:07] ---**
Henceforth, Number 12 of the
Beast King Commandos is forever retired!
**[12:18] ---**
Congratulations. Your number's retired.
**[12:22] ---**
Come on. That's cold, Captain.
**[12:26] ---**
I'm still alive here.
**[12:33] ---**
GIGA STRASH
**[12:38] ---**
THE DEMONIC GUARD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH
**[12:46] ---**
Hey!
**[12:48] ---**
Popp! Maam!
**[12:51] ---**
Princess!
**[12:53] ---**
Is everyone okay?!
**[12:55] ---**
It's Queen Flora!
**[13:01] ---**
Princess!
**[13:03] ---**
Sorry I worried you.
**[13:04] ---**
-Popp!
-Merle!
**[13:07] ---**
-Thank goodness you're alright!
-Thanks.
**[13:09] ---**
Hyunckel. Thank goodness. Truly.
**[13:15] ---**
It's because I was there!
**[13:21] ---**
Thank goodness. You're all safe.
**[13:24] ---**
Indeed! Thank goodness we all made it out!
**[13:28] ---**
Yes.
**[13:31] ---**
Huh?
**[13:34] ---**
Avan?
**[13:36] ---**
Yes?
**[13:41] ---**
Queen Flora! Hang in there!
**[13:43] ---**
Oh right.
**[13:44] ---**
-She didn't know that Master was alive.
-Queen Flora, are you okay?!
**[13:48] ---**
-No wonder she fainted.
-Hang in there!
**[13:56] ---**
Where're Dai?!
**[13:58] ---**
What happened to Dai?!
**[14:07] ---**
He's still... up there.
**[14:13] ---**
I see.
**[14:14] ---**
Again, everything's come down to him.
**[14:18] ---**
He's in a place none of us can reach.
**[14:21] ---**
He went off by himself! Dammit!
**[14:31] ---**
Popp, be proud.
**[14:35] ---**
We all gave everything we have.
**[14:38] ---**
We pulled off miracles
above and beyond our abilities.
**[14:42] ---**
That's why we're all still here.
**[14:45] ---**
That's why Dai is able to fight up there.
**[14:49] ---**
You should be prouder.
**[14:56] ---**
Right.
**[15:00] ---**
You're right.
**[15:01] ---**
Dai rode on all of our shoulders
and ascended into the heavens.
**[15:07] ---**
All we can do now is wait.
**[15:10] ---**
Wait... and believe.
**[15:13] ---**
Don't worry. Master Dai will win.
**[15:17] ---**
He's the son of Master Baran, the war god.
**[15:22] ---**
Vearn!
**[15:23] ---**
Dai!
**[15:32] ---**
*Win.*
**[15:34] ---**
*You have to win, Dai!*
**[15:36] ---**
*And then come back!*
**[15:37] ---**
*It doesn't matter what you look like!
Come back to us!*
**[15:42] ---**
*Come back, Dai!*
**[15:58] ---**
The Surface World?!
**[16:00] ---**
Where's Vearn?!
**[16:02] ---**
He's still... alive!
**[16:05] ---**
I have to defeat him!
**[16:18] ---**
I... I can't win.
**[16:20] ---**
Not as I am.
**[16:25] ---**
If only I had both arms.
**[16:30] ---**
No. I doubt I could win.
**[16:33] ---**
Even with both arms.
**[16:36] ---**
He's become a feral beast,
**[16:38] ---**
sacrificing everything for victory.
**[16:44] ---**
I must sacrifice everything, too!
**[17:08] ---**
*This intense wave! Could Vearn have...?!*
**[17:13] ---**
He's unleashing the power of
the Sovereign Eye?!
**[17:16] ---**
Is his foe that powerful?!
**[17:19] ---**
*That son of the Dragon Knight?!*
**[17:24] ---**
This extreme energy! What has Vearn done?!
**[17:39] ---**
Vearn?!
**[17:41] ---**
Dai... Son of the Dragon.
**[17:45] ---**
Well done.
**[17:46] ---**
The power that you wield
is far beyond this world.
**[17:51] ---**
I realize it now.
**[17:53] ---**
In order to defeat you,
I must become a feral beast, too.
**[18:00] ---**
Hadlar once walked the path of no return
**[18:04] ---**
and gained a power
rivaling that of my former body.
**[18:07] ---**
I, too...!
**[18:10] ---**
Even if it means I cannot turn back...!
**[18:13] ---**
For victory!
For that precious word, I must...!
**[19:04] ---**
You're strong! So that's your true form!
**[19:07] ---**
You insult me.
**[19:09] ---**
My body is this one here!
**[19:13] ---**
This other form is that of a feral beast,
which I attached to my body
**[19:17] ---**
when I unleashed my Third Eye,
the Sovereign Eye!
**[19:20] ---**
It is the form called Sovereign Supreme!
**[19:26] ---**
Sovereign Supreme?
**[19:30] ---**
That's it! Sovereign Rock Castle!
That form...!
**[19:36] ---**
Indeed! It was built in the image
of how I would look in my ultimate form!
**[19:42] ---**
Surely you remember!
**[19:44] ---**
By giving the power of my Sovereign Eye
to that little Drumbler,
**[19:48] ---**
it evolved into the monster Goroa!
**[19:53] ---**
I knew that if I evolved my body
in the same way,
**[19:57] ---**
I would become like this!
**[20:06] ---**
And I knew that should I,
the source of the Magic Power,
**[20:10] ---**
do it to myself,
I wouldn't be able to turn back!
**[20:14] ---**
Sovereign Rock Castle
was meant to be but a toy
**[20:17] ---**
embodying my impossible dream!
**[20:20] ---**
But I choose this over defeat!
Anything but defeat!
**[20:24] ---**
This way, the great name
of Dark King Vearn can be preserved!
**[20:29] ---**
So that's why you used a power
that you yourself sealed away?!
**[20:34] ---**
Purely for victory?!
**[20:38] ---**
You chose to cast aside who you were?!
**[20:41] ---**
Just like... I did?
**[20:46] ---**
And so be it!
**[20:51] ---**
To rule the Tri-world as a feral beast
of terror is an acceptable option!
**[20:58] ---**
Dai! Dragon Knight!
**[21:01] ---**
So long as I defeat you...!
Defeating you...
**[21:06] ---**
is everything to me now!
**[21:16] ---**
Shatter and begone, Dai!
**[21:28] ---**
Full power Draconic Aura!
**[21:42] ---**
Doruora!

FAREWELL, THIS WORLD THAT I LOVE
**[03:26] ---**
The Demon Dragon Blade!
**[03:28] ---**
It was lost when Baran died!
What is it doing here?!
**[03:34] ---**
Why?
**[03:43] ---**
The sun...?
**[04:06] ---**
*Mom!*
**[04:13] ---**
*The Demon Dragon Blade!*
**[04:16] ---**
That's right.
**[04:17] ---**
The true weapon of the Dragon Knight.
**[04:20] ---**
The time has come
for you to take this sword.
**[04:27] ---**
It was the sun's light.
**[04:30] ---**
For a second, it looked like mom.
**[04:33] ---**
Soala was a woman like the sun.
**[04:37] ---**
She could embrace anyone in her warmth.
**[04:41] ---**
Dai.
**[04:42] ---**
Now you must become the sun,
**[04:45] ---**
the light that illuminates
your friends and the Surface World!
**[04:50] ---**
The sun!
**[04:55] ---**
He's coming, Dai! Take your weapon!
**[04:58] ---**
You have but one chance.
**[04:59] ---**
Not even the Demon Dragon Blade
**[05:02] ---**
can withstand repeated blows to
Vearn's body delivered at your full power.
**[05:11] ---**
Put my soul and everything you have into
this strike, and slice his Sovereign Eye!
**[05:19] ---**
Go, Dai!
**[05:28] ---**
*Goodbye.*
**[05:32] ---**
*Goodbye, everyone.*
**[05:36] ---**
*With this strike, I will become the sun!*
**[05:39] ---**
*I'll become the sun
and illuminate you from the sky!*
**[05:44] ---**
*Goodbye, everyone!*
**[07:32] ---**
Popp!
**[07:37] ---**
Even if it won't change anything,
we'll keep struggling!
**[07:41] ---**
We'll put all of our might into
living to the very end!
**[07:44] ---**
It's only for an instant,
**[07:50] ---**
but like a bright flash...!
**[07:57] ---**
"*But like a bright flash...!"*
**[09:14] ---**
*Goodbye, Vearn, the Dark King.*
**[09:48] ---**
What is it, Leona?
**[09:50] ---**
I thought I saw something just now.
**[09:55] ---**
Really?! Is it really Dai?!
**[09:58] ---**
He's falling straight this way!
**[10:01] ---**
No doubt about it!
**[10:03] ---**
That's Dai!
**[10:04] ---**
Is he unconscious?!
**[10:05] ---**
Oh no! At this rate...!
**[10:07] ---**
Master Dai!
**[10:08] ---**
We have to catch him!
**[10:10] ---**
Popp!
**[10:12] ---**
*Not this job!*
**[10:14] ---**
*I'm not letting anyone take this job!*
**[10:17] ---**
Dai!
**[10:28] ---**
-Popp!
-Dai!
**[10:33] ---**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[10:40] ---**
Dai...?
**[10:51] ---**
You won, right?!
**[10:53] ---**
Vearn is...
**[10:56] ---**
Vearn, the Dark King, is gone.
**[10:59] ---**
You did!
**[11:02] ---**
Popp.
**[11:03] ---**
Huh?
**[11:05] ---**
Is there anything strange about me?
**[11:07] ---**
-Strange?
-I became the Dragonoid, after all.
**[11:13] ---**
This messy hair! This scar!
**[11:17] ---**
And this tiny body!
**[11:19] ---**
How's any of it different from usual?
You're definitely our Dai!
**[11:24] ---**
That's right!
**[11:26] ---**
Our Dai has won!
**[11:48] ---**
Come on! It's the triumphant return
of the Hero!
**[11:51] ---**
Go on and see everyone!
**[12:02] ---**
Dai!
**[12:11] ---**
Dai!
**[12:13] ---**
We were victorious!
**[12:16] ---**
Dai, the Hero, was victorious!
**[12:35] ---**
*I told Vearn I'd leave this world
after I defeated him.*
**[12:41] ---**
Dai, are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?
**[12:45] ---**
You ask now, after you guys swarmed me?
**[12:53] ---**
*Everyone...*
**[12:54] ---**
Leona, he may not like it,
but be sure to hold onto him.
**[12:59] ---**
Heroes tend to disappear
the moment they finish their job.
**[13:04] ---**
That sounds irresponsible.
**[13:08] ---**
You better just accept it
and take responsibility, Master!
**[13:12] ---**
What are you talking about?!
**[13:18] ---**
You're okay... right, Dai?
**[13:21] ---**
Hm?
**[13:22] ---**
You won't go anywhere, right?
**[13:24] ---**
Yeah. I...
**[13:26] ---**
I love this place the most.
**[13:31] ---**
Come! We can't leave our heroes
wounded like this!
**[13:36] ---**
We can celebrate after returning home!
**[13:43] ---**
Just a minute, my Queen!
**[13:47] ---**
Please allow me to offer
my own words of congratulations.
**[13:58] ---**
Killvearn?!
**[14:01] ---**
To those who defeated Dark King Vearn,
the strongest being in the Underworld,
**[14:06] ---**
and bravely stopped the destruction
of the Surface World.
**[14:09] ---**
Or rather, miraculously!
**[14:13] ---**
Impossible!
**[14:15] ---**
Are you really immortal?!
**[14:18] ---**
"No living creature can survive
without its head," was it?
**[14:23] ---**
That's what you said.
And perhaps you'd be right.
**[14:30] ---**
If I was a living creature.
**[14:33] ---**
What if my body
was not that of a living creature?
**[14:37] ---**
What if it was something mechanical
being controlled by someone?
**[14:43] ---**
That's right!
**[14:45] ---**
*I never said those words to you!*
**[14:49] ---**
The only one who heard those words was...!
**[14:57] ---**
Right!
**[15:00] ---**
I'm the real Killvearn.
**[15:06] ---**
You look surprised.
**[15:09] ---**
It's the opposite of
the ventriloquists of your world.
**[15:13] ---**
While I played the role of its servant,
**[15:16] ---**
I made you think this Reaper puppet
was the real thing.
**[15:21] ---**
Thus, by having the puppet attacked,
I avoided all damage whatsoever.
**[15:27] ---**
Strictly speaking,
there is but one way to defeat it.
**[15:32] ---**
You don't decapitate it,
but instead smash its head.
**[15:37] ---**
But I'm glad you didn't.
**[15:50] ---**
A Black Core?!
**[15:52] ---**
There you have it!
As you may already know,
**[15:56] ---**
*my real master is Velzar, King of
the Abyss, who resides in the Underworld.*
**[16:02] ---**
*I stood with Vearn
on orders from Master Velzar.*
**[16:06] ---**
*While I pretended to help the Dark King,
I was commanded to kill him*
**[16:11] ---**
using the Core in this puppet
should the opportunity arise.
**[16:17] ---**
*Master Velzar also wants
the Surface World, unlike the Dark King.*
**[16:22] ---**
Why does a guy turned to stone want that?!
**[16:25] ---**
Why should I care?
**[16:26] ---**
My master is very greedy,
**[16:29] ---**
very unlike a Dragon.
**[16:33] ---**
More like a human.
**[16:36] ---**
It's time to say goodbye!
**[16:38] ---**
I'll take my leave early
and head to the Underworld.
**[16:41] ---**
You all took care of the Dark King for me,
**[16:44] ---**
but as your strength exceeds his,
you are very dangerous.
**[16:49] ---**
You can be vaporized with
the Surface World humans.
**[16:53] ---**
And that frozen Pillar
may just be set off by the blast.
**[16:59] ---**
Crackle!
**[17:03] ---**
Whoops. I forgot to mention it,
but Ice-type spells won't work.
**[17:08] ---**
You're out of options.
**[17:11] ---**
And now, farewell, everyone.
Along with this lovely Surface World!
**[17:23] ---**
Hurry, Dai!
**[17:29] ---**
D-Dammit!
**[17:31] ---**
But you're already too late.
**[17:48] ---**
I guess this is how it ends.
There's no time to let go of this!
**[17:53] ---**
But I don't mind
so long as I'm with you, Dai!
**[17:59] ---**
I'm sorry, Popp!
**[18:04] ---**
Wh-...
**[18:14] ---**
Why did you do that, Dai?!
**[18:18] ---**
*Forgive me, Popp.*
**[18:21] ---**
*I had to.*
**[18:23] ---**
*I have to risk my life
to protect those that I love!*
**[18:31] ---**
*It's what I inherited.*
**[18:35] ---**
*It's my destiny!*
**[18:44] ---**
You damn idiot!
**[18:53] ---**
Dai!
**[19:22] ---**
Dai.
**[19:23] ---**
For weeks after you saved the world,
we searched high and low for you.
**[19:30] ---**
But we couldn't find you anywhere.
**[19:34] ---**
Just where have you gone?
**[19:37] ---**
Dai, the Surface World was saved.
**[19:39] ---**
Its humans, monsters, and nature.
**[19:42] ---**
All thanks to you.
**[19:44] ---**
The pillars have been deactivated
and peace restored.
**[19:48] ---**
And yet...
**[19:50] ---**
without you...
**[19:51] ---**
The Sword of Dai, the true Hero.
**[19:55] ---**
Hmph! It's like a damn grave!
**[19:59] ---**
It's not a grave!
**[20:01] ---**
Popp, that's a marker that Dai can use
for when he comes back!
**[20:06] ---**
Huh?!
**[20:06] ---**
-Dai is...
-...coming back?!
**[20:09] ---**
Look at the jewel on that sword.
**[20:12] ---**
That sword is a living sword
made for Dai and Dai alone.
**[20:17] ---**
Should Dai perish, that jewel
will lose its strength and fade, too.
**[20:21] ---**
Well? Has its light faded?
**[20:27] ---**
It's shining!
**[20:31] ---**
Dai's still alive!
**[20:33] ---**
But where is he?!
**[20:34] ---**
I don't know.
**[20:36] ---**
He could be in Celesta or the Underworld.
**[20:39] ---**
But...!
**[20:41] ---**
Who cares where he is?
**[20:43] ---**
Huh?!
**[20:44] ---**
If he's alive... So long as he's alive,
we'll see him again!
**[20:51] ---**
I mean, this is the one place
he'd come back to, after all!
**[21:16] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[21:16] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[21:25] ---**
*I gaze at you from behind
as you begin to walk away*
**[21:25] ---**
*arukidasu kimi no ushirosugata wo nagameru*
**[21:35] ---**
*Tell me, where are you going all alone?*
**[21:35] ---**
*nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno*
**[21:44] ---**
*We act tough and follow our hearts*
**[21:44] ---**
*massugu de tsuyogari na sonna bokura ga*
**[21:50] ---**
*And we began this tale together*
**[21:50] ---**
*hajimeta monogatari*
**[21:55] ---**
*Beyond the horizon something glimmers*
**[21:55] ---**
*chiheisen no mukou de kirameiteiru*
**[22:01] ---**
*We've been seeking something certain*
**[22:01] ---**
*tashika na mono sagashitsuzukete iruno*
**[22:08] ---**
*In the distant sky, dancing in the wind*
**[22:08] ---**
*haruka sora ni kaze ni nori matte*
**[22:14] ---**
*tobu tori wa naiteita mirai wo terasuyouni*
**[22:14] ---**
*The birds sing as though
illuminating the future*
**[22:20] ---**
*The promise that connects us
The adventure we share*
**[22:20] ---**
*bokura wo tsunagu yakusoku to
bokura de tsumugu bouken wo*
**[22:25] ---**
*Again in this world*
**[22:25] ---**
*mata kono sekai de*
**[22:36] ---**
*That's right.
So until the day he returns...*
**[22:43] ---**
We're not there yet, Popp?!
**[22:45] ---**
Maam...
**[22:47] ---**
I think it's this way.
**[22:48] ---**
"You think"?
**[22:50] ---**
This way!
**[22:51] ---**
*...we'll protect this world.*
**[22:59] ---**
*So someday, whether we find him...*
**[23:02] ---**
Let's go.
**[23:03] ---**
Right.
**[23:06] ---**
*...or he comes back on his own...*
**[23:09] ---**
Little Hym, come on!
We're building our new fort!
**[23:13] ---**
Cut me some slack, Captain!
**[23:17] ---**
*...he'll see the beautiful land
and towns...*
**[23:22] ---**
I know you've got more.
Return everything you've stolen.
**[23:27] ---**
*...and the people living in peace...*
**[23:33] ---**
*and he'll know this is the world
that he protected.*
**[23:40] ---**
*And he can hold his head high.*
**[23:48] ---**
*It's for that day, when the Hero returns!*
