DRAGON MASTER GENERAL BARAN
**[01:50] ---**
*This is the Dragon Legion's handiwork.*
**[01:53] ---**
*So while we were fighting Flazzard,
they destroyed Carl Kingdom.*
**[02:01] ---**
The Order of Carl was said
to be the greatest! Dammit!
**[02:08] ---**
I have a request.
**[02:10] ---**
My brother's corpse should be
around the palace. I'd like to bury him.
**[02:17] ---**
My brother was the lead knight
of this kingdom.
**[02:20] ---**
The knight Horkins was a hero whose name
was known even in neighboring countries.
**[02:25] ---**
He fought off the Dragons valiantly,
but the enemy Legion Commander killed him.
**[02:32] ---**
*Baran...*
**[02:34] ---**
I'd never seen anything like it.
**[02:48] ---**
*My brother matched him
in skill with a sword.*
**[02:52] ---**
*And then he...*
**[02:56] ---**
You sheath your sword?! You coward!
**[03:11] ---**
*One shot.*
**[03:13] ---**
*With one shot, he killed my brother.*
**[03:19] ---**
There. I can't get him out alone.
**[03:28] ---**
This shape...
**[03:30] ---**
The same shape as Dai's mark.
**[03:33] ---**
Serve you?! Destroy the human world?!
**[03:38] ---**
You must be joking!
**[03:40] ---**
I make no joke about this.
**[03:42] ---**
It's what the Dragon Knights
were born to do after all.
**[03:46] ---**
What?!
**[03:47] ---**
I see you don't know yet.
**[03:50] ---**
Very well. I shall tell you
in place of the Dragon Crystal.
**[03:57] ---**
*Long ago, when the gods
newly created the world,*
**[04:01] ---**
*three races ruled the land.*
**[04:04] ---**
*Specifically, the humans,
Darklings, and Dragons.*
**[04:08] ---**
*These days Dragons
are considered a type of monster,*
**[04:12] ---**
*but they used to be smarter than humans,
and most of them could speak.*
**[04:19] ---**
*But these three races fought
bloody battles for control of the world.*
**[04:26] ---**
*The gods, lamenting this,
decided someone must oversee this world.*
**[04:34] ---**
*The gods of Dragons, Darklings, and humans
convened and came to a decision.*
**[04:41] ---**
*To create a being with the strength of
Dragons, the Magic Power of Darklings,*
**[04:45] ---**
*and the heart of humans.*
**[04:47] ---**
*To create the ultimate warrior.*
**[04:52] ---**
*That is the Dragon Knight.*
**[04:55] ---**
*Thus, if any race should ever
hold ambitions to dominate the world,*
**[05:01] ---**
*it is the Dragon Knight's duty to wipe
them out and administer divine punishment.*
**[05:07] ---**
In that case,
isn't Dark King Vearn worse?!
**[05:11] ---**
He's trying to conquer the world!
**[05:14] ---**
No. The evil is the humans.
**[05:16] ---**
King Vearn seeks to wipe out the humans
for the sake of the world.
**[05:21] ---**
But...
**[05:22] ---**
You must promptly embrace
the proper duties of a Dragon Knight
**[05:27] ---**
and offer your power to King Vearn.
**[05:30] ---**
No! I'm on the humans' side
no matter what anybody says!
**[05:35] ---**
I'd rather die than serve the Dark Army
that took Master Avan's life!
**[05:40] ---**
I see.
**[05:42] ---**
Dragon Legion Commander Baran,
**[05:45] ---**
take this!
**[05:47] ---**
Avan Strash!
**[05:54] ---**
It has no effect?!
**[05:57] ---**
I'd rather not harm you,
but if this is how you feel...
**[06:02] ---**
I will take you with me by force!
**[06:09] ---**
*Impossible! How can this be?!*
**[06:15] ---**
What's going on down there?!
**[06:18] ---**
This is...
**[06:19] ---**
I sense it. A being with massive power.
**[06:22] ---**
What?!
**[06:29] ---**
Look! It's Dai!
**[06:31] ---**
Dai!
**[06:32] ---**
Dai!
**[06:34] ---**
Dai!
**[06:37] ---**
Dai!
**[06:39] ---**
Are you okay?!
**[06:46] ---**
That crest...!
**[06:48] ---**
Then he's a Dragon Knight, too?!
**[06:50] ---**
He's part of the Dark Army!
**[06:54] ---**
Dragon Legion Commander Baran!
**[06:57] ---**
What?!
**[06:58] ---**
Then the Dark Army
has their own Dragon Knight, too?!
**[07:01] ---**
Impossible! Only one Dragon Knight
is supposed to exist!
**[07:07] ---**
Huh? But...
**[07:08] ---**
Correct.
**[07:10] ---**
I am the one true
Dragon Knight of this age.
**[07:15] ---**
But, while only one Dragon Knight
is supposed to be born,
**[07:20] ---**
there was an exception.
**[07:22] ---**
And that is you!
**[07:25] ---**
It's time to embrace your duties
as a Dragon Knight
**[07:29] ---**
and destroy the humans with me!
**[07:32] ---**
What?!
**[07:33] ---**
I'll never do that!
Don't make me repeat myself!
**[07:36] ---**
Things may be all right now.
**[07:39] ---**
During childhood, a Dragon Knight
is no different from a normal human.
**[07:44] ---**
But as you grow and begin to exhibit
the Power of Dragons,
**[07:48] ---**
the humans will begin to fear,
reject, and persecute you.
**[07:54] ---**
When that happens,
you will be the one to suffer.
**[07:59] ---**
I'm scared! He's scary!
**[08:04] ---**
Screw your nonsense! Dai is our friend!
**[08:08] ---**
No matter what he is,
we'll never persecute him!
**[08:12] ---**
Help you destroy the humans?!
**[08:15] ---**
Dai would...
Dai would rather die than do that!
**[08:18] ---**
Popp...
**[08:19] ---**
Princess, cast Fullheal on Dai!
**[08:21] ---**
Got it!
**[08:22] ---**
I'll... I'll try to deal with him!
**[08:25] ---**
It's sad to see someone
overestimate themself.
**[08:31] ---**
Donk!
**[08:36] ---**
Fullheal!
**[08:37] ---**
Good! That should heal Dai!
**[08:54] ---**
My greatest spell
that took down three Green Dragons?!
**[08:57] ---**
You thought a Legion Commander
who leads Dragons to be weaker than one?!
**[09:02] ---**
Princess, hurry!
**[09:03] ---**
I'm trying, but...!
**[09:05] ---**
Your resistance is futile!
**[09:10] ---**
My spell!
**[09:36] ---**
D-Dammit...
**[09:38] ---**
Dai!
**[09:40] ---**
I'm taking the boy.
**[09:42] ---**
No! You can't have Dai!
**[09:45] ---**
You may be the same race, but that
doesn't give you the right to take him!
**[09:50] ---**
I do have... the right.
**[09:53] ---**
What?!
**[09:54] ---**
This boy... is my son.
**[09:59] ---**
What?
**[10:01] ---**
What did you just say?
**[10:03] ---**
I said this boy is my son.
**[10:08] ---**
His real name is Dino.
**[10:11] ---**
*H-He's lying!*
**[10:14] ---**
Son? Dai is your son?
**[10:17] ---**
You're saying you're Dai's father?
**[10:20] ---**
Stop lying!
**[10:22] ---**
Dai told me he washed up
on Dermline Island as an infant!
**[10:25] ---**
Have you got any proof?!
**[10:28] ---**
The crest on his forehead is proof itself.
**[10:32] ---**
Only one person in the world aside from me
could have the Dragon Crest.
**[10:38] ---**
The son I lost 11 years ago, Dino.
**[10:43] ---**
Then, yours is the only
Dragon Knight bloodline?
**[10:47] ---**
No friends or brothers?
**[10:50] ---**
Wait! What about his mother?!
**[10:52] ---**
Where is the woman who gave birth to Dai?!
**[10:56] ---**
His mother...
**[10:57] ---**
Indeed the boy does bear
a resemblance to his mother.
**[11:04] ---**
However...
**[11:05] ---**
that's no concern to you humans.
**[11:09] ---**
Astonishing! So Baran is Dai's father?!
**[11:13] ---**
It's father and son Dragon Knights!
**[11:15] ---**
Correct. It's the tearful reunion
of a father and son in over a decade.
**[11:20] ---**
But don't forget that I'm the one
who set up this emotional moment.
**[11:26] ---**
After all, I uncovered the truth
that some coward was hiding.
**[11:32] ---**
Why you...!
**[11:34] ---**
Silence!
**[11:36] ---**
The great Dark King Vearn
shall now grace us with his presence.
**[11:40] ---**
Contain yourselves.
**[11:41] ---**
My king!
**[11:42] ---**
*Damn you!*
**[11:47] ---**
Dark King Vearn is here.
**[11:54] ---**
Well done, all of you.
**[11:57] ---**
Raise your heads.
**[12:02] ---**
*Up close, the pressure from him
is as powerful as ever.*
**[12:07] ---**
I see things are getting interesting.
**[12:11] ---**
Yes. There has been debate as to
whether or not Dai is a Dragon Knight.
**[12:17] ---**
Therefore, I went to ascertain
the truth as a neutral party.
**[12:24] ---**
Commander Hadlar was dead set against it.
Could he have known Dai's identity?
**[12:30] ---**
*These dirty little...*
**[12:31] ---**
Mystvearn, what do you think
of the boy's power?
**[12:37] ---**
I gave Flazzard the most powerful armour
in my army to test Dai's strength.
**[12:44] ---**
*He possesses all manner
of terrifying power.*
**[12:51] ---**
To think I could have
two Dragon Knights under my command.
**[12:58] ---**
Baran must be rewarded
if he succeeds in recruiting Dai.
**[13:04] ---**
Indeed. If he does,
he may take the seat of Dark Commander.
**[13:09] ---**
King Vearn...!
**[13:10] ---**
My decision has been made.
**[13:16] ---**
*What I was afraid of has come true!*
**[13:22] ---**
*So this is why Hadlar was desperate
to keep Dai from Baran.*
**[13:28] ---**
However...
**[13:30] ---**
it seems things will not go that smoothly.
**[13:37] ---**
CRACKLE
ICE-TYPE SPELL
**[13:43] ---**
DARK PUPPETRY AURA HAND
**[13:45] ---**
I'm taking Dino with me.
**[13:47] ---**
Don't touch me!
**[13:49] ---**
Dai!
**[13:50] ---**
Dai!
**[13:51] ---**
Don't you understand? I'm far stronger
than you could ever hope to be.
**[13:58] ---**
I still have... my final weapon.
**[14:03] ---**
*That's right. What Matoriv said...*
**[14:07] ---**
*A hero's weapon.*
**[14:09] ---**
*The only weapon I have left
that might work on you...*
**[14:16] ---**
*is what lets me face any powerful enemy.*
**[14:21] ---**
*It's my courage!*
**[14:24] ---**
*My only hope now
is that Dai defeats Baran.*
**[14:31] ---**
Dino...
**[14:32] ---**
Don't call me Dino!
**[14:35] ---**
My name is Dai!
**[14:37] ---**
It's the name my Grampa gave to me!
**[14:40] ---**
I fight the Dark Army! I'm Dai, the Hero!
**[14:45] ---**
Dai...
**[14:46] ---**
Dai...
**[14:51] ---**
Don't!
**[14:52] ---**
He's the legendary Dragon Knight!
**[14:54] ---**
But he's evil!
**[14:56] ---**
Evil? Don't be so sure.
**[14:59] ---**
If the Dragon Knight wipes us out,
it would be humanity's own fault.
**[15:06] ---**
But...
**[15:07] ---**
I see. Very well.
**[15:10] ---**
Then I shall call you
your human name, "Dai."
**[15:14] ---**
Dai! I shall defeat you
as a Hero who fights with the humans!
**[15:19] ---**
If you will not submit to me,
you shall die!
**[15:27] ---**
Popp, here's a Fullheal!
**[15:29] ---**
Thanks.
**[15:31] ---**
But even if I get
my stamina back, I'm useless.
**[15:34] ---**
Our spells don't seem to have
any effect on him at all.
**[15:38] ---**
Dai, I hope you have a plan!
**[15:41] ---**
*Any small attack
and he'll kill me for sure.*
**[15:45] ---**
*I'll have to finish him
with my biggest, strongest attack.*
**[15:50] ---**
I thought you were hiding something,
but I see it's just that.
**[15:54] ---**
"Avan Strash," was it?
**[15:56] ---**
I assume you unite the power, speed,
and Aura control, of your sword skills
**[16:03] ---**
to complete that attack.
**[16:07] ---**
It requires spirit,
technique, and strength.
**[16:10] ---**
For a human attack, it's formidable. But
you've already seen it won't work on me.
**[16:18] ---**
*He analyzed Master Avan's greatest attack
with just one hit.*
**[16:22] ---**
*Then I'll have to use that attack.*
**[16:24] ---**
*Please! Power of Dragons
that lies within me!*
**[16:29] ---**
*Awaken!*
**[16:31] ---**
*If I don't defeat him,
all humanity will be wiped out!*
**[16:43] ---**
Dai showed the crest as well!
**[16:46] ---**
Could it be...?
**[16:48] ---**
Zapple!
**[16:54] ---**
Zap Strash!
**[17:02] ---**
He blocked it?!
Even though Dai's Strash was perfected?!
**[17:06] ---**
He's absorbing the energy
of the Zapple spell with his sword!
**[17:10] ---**
Impossible!
**[17:12] ---**
Impressive that you can control
the Power of Dragons this much.
**[17:15] ---**
Normally, a Dragon Knight cannot control
the power of the Crest until fully grown.
**[17:22] ---**
You've been blessed
with good teachers and good battles.
**[17:28] ---**
For that spirit and courage,
I shall show you...
**[17:32] ---**
just how terrifying it is when
a true Dragon Knight controls the heavens!
**[17:38] ---**
Kazap!
**[17:52] ---**
Gigabreak!
**[18:06] ---**
Dai!
**[18:07] ---**
You monster! How dare you strike Dai!
**[18:10] ---**
I may not be able to do any damage, but...
**[18:12] ---**
Stop!
**[18:14] ---**
I shall face that man!
**[18:17] ---**
Beast King Crocodine!
**[18:19] ---**
Thank goodness! We're in deep trouble!
**[18:22] ---**
*So this is the Beast King.*
**[18:24] ---**
With you here it's like having an army...
**[18:29] ---**
Big Guy, you're shaking.
**[18:32] ---**
Crocodine.
**[18:33] ---**
Even you should be aware
of what will happen if you fight me.
**[18:40] ---**
I'll probably die.
**[18:42] ---**
But, that is something I'm prepared to do.
**[18:45] ---**
Big Guy...
**[18:46] ---**
Hurry and rescue Dai.
**[18:48] ---**
I'll fight with you!
**[18:50] ---**
Me too!
**[18:51] ---**
-Don't bother.
-Huh?!
**[18:52] ---**
I don't know why,
but he's completely immune to spells.
**[18:58] ---**
The only way to damage him is
with physical attacks by hand or weapon.
**[19:04] ---**
Well done, Beast King. So you realized it.
**[19:07] ---**
Get Dai.
**[19:09] ---**
Got it.
**[19:14] ---**
You heard everything?
**[19:15] ---**
I heard enough.
**[19:17] ---**
Then why stand in my way?
**[19:19] ---**
Why should I not reclaim my own son?
**[19:22] ---**
Because Dai doesn't want it.
**[19:25] ---**
I see. So you've completely
sided with the humans.
**[19:29] ---**
How disappointing. Of all the Legion
Commanders, I respected you the most.
**[19:35] ---**
That boy, Hyunckel, wasn't bad either.
**[19:40] ---**
With his hate for humans
in that heart of ice.
**[19:44] ---**
But, everyone I favor leaves the Dark Amy.
I guess Hadlar just lacks charisma.
**[19:50] ---**
That's not true.
**[19:52] ---**
I don't know about Hyunckel,
**[19:54] ---**
but I was willing to die
for Hadlar or Dark King Vearn.
**[20:00] ---**
A true warrior
will sacrifice himself for his master.
**[20:04] ---**
All that's changed is that
I now support Dai.
**[20:07] ---**
And so you would fight me? To protect Dai?
**[20:12] ---**
Without Dai, both Hyunckel and I
would have wandered the dark path forever.
**[20:18] ---**
He's the sun that brought light
to our hearts of darkness!
**[20:24] ---**
*The sun?*
**[20:25] ---**
All living things need the sun!
**[20:30] ---**
None can be allowed to take it away!
**[20:34] ---**
I may not be strong enough,
but I will still fight!
**[20:37] ---**
*To move the heart
of one such as Crocodine this much...*
**[20:42] ---**
*What a child.*
**[20:45] ---**
*The sun...*
**[20:47] ---**
*A child of the sun.*
**[20:52] ---**
*Soala...*
**[20:55] ---**
Why sheath your sword?!
**[20:58] ---**
Crocodine,
I see there's no changing your mind.
**[21:01] ---**
But if you fight me,
**[21:03] ---**
you will learn the terror
of fighting a true Dragon Knight.
**[21:07] ---**
The completed Power of Dragons
far beyond that of Dai's!
**[21:16] ---**
*What is this?! His Aura is staggering,
but he's just standing there!*
**[21:21] ---**
What's wrong? Won't you fight?
**[21:25] ---**
If you won't fight,
I'll just have to claim your head!
**[21:36] ---**
*I-Impossible!
My axe is the one that shattered!*
**[21:41] ---**
What's this?!
**[21:42] ---**
This is the secret
to the Dragon Knights' supremacy.
**[21:45] ---**
The Draconic Aura!
**[21:54] ---**
Big Guy!
**[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*
