    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

[22:38] ---
    Even if the place I call home may change
[22:38] ---
    kaeru basho wa ne kawatte yuku kedo

    Listen to me, Mother
[22:44] ---

    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!
