    Since when was it?

[00:36] ---
    Being honest became whining
[00:36] ---
    honne ga yowane ni nattana

    Standing firm became strength

[00:45] ---
    Not confidence, your true self
[00:45] ---
    jishin janaku jibun jishin
[00:50] ---
    There must be something
    I've forgotten that I still haven't found

    Words I want to say

    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] ---
    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] ---
    doudarou
[22:33] ---
    I'm not sure
[22:38] ---
    kaeru basho wa ne kawatte yuku kedo

    Even if the place I call home may change
[22:44] ---
    naa kaasan boku wa

    Listen to me, Mother
[22:46] ---
    mamoru hito wo kaetari shinai

    I will never change those I protect
