[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.

[23:45] ---
    Dai and Leona fall into peril.
[23:48] ---
    Just then,
    Dai is enveloped in a mysterious light!

[23:51] ---
    Next time on
    DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,
[23:55] ---
    
"Dai and Princess Leona"*
[23:57] ---
    The adventure continues!
[23:59] ---
    
[24:01] ---
