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

    Standing firm became strength

    Have you found it yet?

[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

    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
[22:20] ---
    Kindness is the magic of kind people
[22:25] ---
    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] ---
    kaeru basho wa ne kawatte yuku kedo
[22:38] ---
    Even if the place I call home may change
[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] ---
    anata wa nannte iukana
[22:53] ---
    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
[23:13] ---
    I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment
[23:14] ---
    ochikonnde shimau boku wo warau no darou
[23:34] ---
    Seeking new weapons, Dai and his friends
    head to Bengarna Kingdom.

[23:38] ---
    Their first time in a department store,
[23:41] ---
    Dai and Popp are excited
    by all the unfamiliar foods and items.

[23:46] ---
    Little do they know
    that a new threat approaches.

[23:53] ---
    DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,
[23:56] ---
    
"Off to The Department Store"*
[23:57] ---
    The adventure continues!
