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*
**[22:38] ---**
*Even if the place I call home may change*
**[22:44] ---**
*naa kaasan boku wa*
**[22:44] ---**
*Listen to me, Mother*
**[22:46] ---**
*mamoru hito wo kaetari shinai*
**[22:46] ---**
*I will never change those I protect*
**[22:53] ---**
*anata wa nannte iukana*
**[22:53] ---**
*I wonder what you'd say*
