    DAI'S SECRET
[01:51] ---
    The Dragon Knight is approaching.
[01:56] ---
    He's close!
[01:57] ---
    The Dragon Knight?!
[01:58] ---
    It's Baran!
[02:00] ---
    They're connected by their crests.
    He'll reach this castle soon!
[02:06] ---
    We must ready our defenses!
[02:08] ---
    Got it!
[02:09] ---
    You and I will be the defense!
[02:13] ---
    Madam Nabara and Merle
    will stay here with Dai!
[02:17] ---
    It's too dangerous!
[02:19] ---
    You can't fight Baran and leave unscathed!
    You'll need my Healing-type spells!
[02:36] ---
    Very well.
[02:37] ---
    You're not one to be
    talked out of your decisions.
[02:42] ---
    Exactly. Let's get going!
[02:46] ---
    Madam Nabara, Merle,
    don't let Dai out of his cell!
[02:56] ---
    What is it, miss?
[03:09] ---
    What?! What are you doing?!
[03:10] ---
    Stand still.
[03:12] ---
    Huh?! What is this?!
[03:13] ---
    A weapon! Use it to defend yourself!
[03:17] ---
    D-Defend myself?
[03:20] ---
    Isn't it obvious? You use this to fight!
[03:23] ---
    No way! I can't! It's too scary!
[03:27] ---
    Take it off, miss!
[03:49] ---
    Dai, I've told you before. You're a Hero!
[03:55] ---
    You're small but brave
    and bright and sincere.
[03:59] ---
    That's the real you!
[04:02] ---
    This cowardly you isn't a Hero!
    It isn't who Dai is!
[04:08] ---
    That's not true. I can't be a Hero.
[04:17] ---
    Besides, if we wait,
    someone will come to protect me.
[04:24] ---
    He instinctively senses
    that Baran is his father after all.

[04:30] ---
    You're wrong.
[04:32] ---
    That's the enemy!
[04:35] ---
    The enemy?
[04:36] ---
    That's right! He took precious
    memories of us from you!
[04:42] ---
    He's a terrible enemy!
[04:44] ---
    Don't be happy that he's coming!
[04:47] ---
    Princess Leona...
[04:50] ---
    Fight, Dai! Fight to regain what's yours!
[04:55] ---
    Your memories and courage!
[04:58] ---
    Courage...
[05:01] ---
    Come, Crocodine.
[05:02] ---
    Understood.
[05:08] ---
    Come to think of it...
[05:12] ---
    I think... something like this....
[05:16] ---
    happened before.
[05:28] ---
    I see you aren't quite dead yet.
    But I will not finish you off.
[05:32] ---
    You can wallow in shame
    and feel regret as you bleed out.
[05:37] ---
    I must hurry and regroup
    with Master Baran to reclaim Master Dino.
[05:43] ---
    "Dino"? Does he mean Dai?
[05:49] ---
    You still bother to resist?
[05:51] ---
    Father or not...
    I can't let him... take Dai.
[05:59] ---
    Dai is...
[06:02] ---
    Dai is...
[06:05] ---
    the hope of all humans
    living in this world!
[06:09] ---
    What rubbish!
[06:11] ---
    The filthy humans of this world
    don't deserve such a thing!
[06:16] ---
    What?!
[06:17] ---
    Very well.
    I shall tell you before you die.
[06:21] ---
    The reason why Master Baran hates humans!
[06:25] ---
    The only woman Master Baran ever loved,
    in other words, Master Dino's mother...
[06:33] ---
    was murdered by humans!
[06:36] ---
    The ones who killed Dai's mother
    were humans?!
[06:40] ---
    Why would humans...
    Just who was Dai's mother?!
[06:50] ---
    Normally, only one
    Dragon Knight exists at a time.
[06:56] ---
    The power of a Dragon Knight
    can reshape the heavens and earth.
[07:00] ---
    Thus only one in a generation
    can possess it in this world.
[07:07] ---
    When a Dragon Knight's life ends,
    the Holy Mother Dragon descends.

[07:13] ---
    It is said that she caringly cradles
    the battle-weary knight's body.

[07:19] ---
    And the Dragon Crest,
    having fulfilled its duty,

[07:23] ---
    is passed on to the life
    the Mother Dragon carries within her.

[07:30] ---
    A new knight now within her,
    she gives birth in a distant land.

[07:36] ---
    The humans there worship the child
    as a divine child and raise it.

[07:41] ---
    And when the knight is fully grown,
    it awakens to its duty.
[07:47] ---
    Thus, no Dragon Knight ever knows
    parent or offspring.
[07:53] ---
    They are destined to a life
    of never-ending battle.
[07:59] ---
    But something unusual happened
    in Master Baran's generation.
[08:02] ---
    Fifteen years ago...
[08:05] ---
    When Hadlar laid waste to the world,
    the Dragon Knight did not appear.

[08:13] ---
    It was a human Hero who defeated Hadlar.
[08:17] ---
    Avan...!
[08:18] ---
    At the time, Master Baran
    was fighting a greater threat.
[08:24] ---
    For it is a Dragon Knight's duty to punish
    those who disrupt the world's balance.
[08:31] ---
    Compared to the threat of
    Velzar, King of the Abyss,

[08:35] ---
    who was the last intelligent Dragon
    seeking to conquer this world,

[08:39] ---
    even Hadlar was trivial enough
    to be ignored.

[08:46] ---
    Having vanquished Velzar and his kin,
    Master Baran was mortally wounded.

[08:54] ---
    Master Baran used the last of his strength
[08:57] ---
    to reach the Fountain of Miracles
    said to heal Dragon Knights.

[09:13] ---
    I...
[09:15] ---
    I was so close...
[09:20] ---
    Drink this.
[09:22] ---
    It is said to ease wounds and illness.
[09:26] ---
    A human woman?
[09:32] ---
    That was Master Baran
    and Lady Soala's meeting.

[09:39] ---
    Weary from battle, Master Baran
    found the sun in Lady Soala.

[09:45] ---
    Eventually, love between them blossomed.
[09:48] ---
    Lady Soala was princess of Alkeed Kingdom
    and when Master Baran came to the palace,

[09:55] ---
    the two grew even closer.
[09:58] ---
    But there were vassals
    who found this displeasing.

[10:02] ---
    They couldn't stand a stranger
    winning claim to the throne.

[10:07] ---
    Your Majesty, there are rumors
    that knight is not human.
[10:11] ---
    W-What?!
[10:12] ---
    He may be a surviving servant
    of the Dark Lord.
[10:18] ---
    The fear of Hadlar being a recent memory,
    the humans banished Master Baran.

[10:30] ---
    Soala...
[10:39] ---
    It seems life with a human
    was never meant for me.
[10:45] ---
    My time with you was a happy one.
[10:49] ---
    Farewell.
[10:55] ---
    Baran!
[10:57] ---
    Please! Don't leave us!
[11:02] ---
    "Us"?!
[11:03] ---
    Soala, are you with child?!
[11:07] ---
    Unbelievable!
[11:08] ---
    The Dragon Knight...
    A bloodstained Slayer has sired a child?!
[11:28] ---
    Then that child...!
[11:31] ---
    It is Master Dino.
[11:33] ---
    Dai is the child of
    a Dragon Knight and a human?!

[11:38] ---
    The three of them...
[11:40] ---
    lived quietly,
    deep in the forests of Teran.

[11:44] ---
    Soala, what shall we name him?
[11:49] ---
    How about Dino? It means
    "Strong Dragon" in the Alkeed language.
[11:55] ---
    Dino, the Strong Dragon. A good name!
[11:58] ---
    Dino!
[11:59] ---
    Oh dear...
[12:04] ---
    Dino, don't worry.
    That was scary, wasn't it?
[12:08] ---
    But the humans...
[12:09] ---
    did not let them enjoy
    their days of peace for long.
[12:14] ---
    A monster kidnapping their princess
    would shame their country.

[12:18] ---
    Enraged, the king hunted them down
    and surrounded them with a battalion.

[12:25] ---
    My love!
[12:27] ---
    I mustn't kill any humans.
[12:33] ---
    Master Baran made his decision.
[12:36] ---
    Wait, my love!
[12:38] ---
    I surrender.
    But do not harm Soala or my son.
[12:43] ---
    Very well. He may be a monster's spawn,
    but he's still my grandson.
[12:48] ---
    He cannot stay here,
    but I shall send him to a foreign land.
[12:52] ---
    Master Baran allowed
    the Alkeed soldiers to capture him.

[12:58] ---
    And Master Dino was taken from Lady Soala
    and sent to a foreign land.

[13:05] ---
    You are sentenced to death!
[13:10] ---
    Soala... Dino... May you find happiness.
[13:15] ---
    Fire!
[13:18] ---
    No!
[13:47] ---
    Soala?
[13:48] ---
    Soala!
[13:50] ---
    Soala!
[13:52] ---
    M-My love...
[13:56] ---
    How foolish! Why would you do this?!
[13:59] ---
    I-I couldn't bear...
    to see my father and the others...
[14:07] ---
    continue... such cruelty.
[14:11] ---
    Soala!
[14:13] ---
    But... please don't hate humans.
[14:18] ---
    They're all just scared.
[14:20] ---
    Enough! Don't speak!
[14:24] ---
    Please...
[14:26] ---
    Find... Dino...
[14:29] ---
    And live together... in peace...
[14:46] ---
    Soala?
[14:55] ---
    Soala!
[14:58] ---
    That fool! To die for a monster?!
    What a disgrace!
[15:04] ---
    A disgrace?!
[15:06] ---
    Just who do you think you are?!
[15:10] ---
    Begone! Begone, humans!
[15:16] ---
    Alkeed Kingdom vanished from this world.
[15:20] ---
    What hopelessly selfish creatures!
[15:23] ---
    To think I fought the King of the Abyss
    to protect such swine!
[15:31] ---
    If I knew humans were such filth...
[15:35] ---
    I never would have protected them!
[15:40] ---
    Master Baran searched the world,
    but he never found Master Dino.
[15:46] ---
    Apparently, the ship was lost at sea.
[15:50] ---
    It was in his deepest despair
    that Vearn, the Dark King approached him.
[15:56] ---
    He said, "Don't you think the humans
    should be wiped out first?"
[16:00] ---
    This is Master Baran's sad past
    that he has told only me.
[16:05] ---
    What?! You still...?!
[16:08] ---
    Larhart, you are indeed powerful.
[16:12] ---
    I doubt I even have
    the strength left to stand.
[16:16] ---
    But, after hearing that story,
    I realized I had to get back up.
[16:22] ---
    For Dai...
[16:24] ---
    and for Baran!
[16:29] ---
    BEAST KING REDEMPTION BLAST
[16:35] ---
    AVAN STRASH
[16:40] ---
    For Master Baran?!
[16:42] ---
    I know very well how Baran feels.
[16:45] ---
    What?!
[16:46] ---
    I, too, once lost faith
    in the human world.
[16:51] ---
    I sold my soul to the Dark Army,
    and sought to destroy everything.
[16:56] ---
    But I realized...
[16:58] ---
    No, my friends made me realize...
[17:02] ---
    that there was still hope
    for the human world!
[17:07] ---
    And now, I want to
    help Baran realize this.
[17:12] ---
    I might be able to...
[17:14] ---
    What could you possibly know?!
[17:17] ---
    You think Master Baran's pain
    is something so light that you can ease?!
[17:23] ---
    Don't make me laugh!
[17:28] ---
    Impossible! I aimed for your heart!
[17:31] ---
    I can see through your attacks!
[17:33] ---
    What?!
[17:35] ---
    To be honest,
[17:37] ---
    I was fighting you
    while saving myself to fight Baran.
[17:42] ---
    That's why I tried to keep my distance
    when dodging your attacks.
[17:49] ---
    But now, I don't care
    if you hit me or not!
[17:55] ---
    This is what allows me
    to barely dodge any mortal blows!
[18:00] ---
    Cocky bastard!
[18:45] ---
    Where does this strength come from?!
[18:47] ---
    And you're faster than before!
[18:50] ---
    This is the power a human wields
    when risking his life!
[18:53] ---
    I won't accept that!
[19:17] ---
    You were wise to bring the fight in close.
[19:21] ---
    But once distance is gained,
    a sword cannot beat a spear!
[19:26] ---
    I doubt you can even move now.
[19:29] ---
    I could end this with a single thrust...
[19:34] ---
    but that won't satisfy my anger!
[19:37] ---
    His Sunder Claw!
[19:39] ---
    Feel the sting of my claw once more!
[19:44] ---
    Die a ghastly death!
    As punishment for your nonsense!
[19:50] ---
    Sunder Claw!
[19:55] ---
    I've got you! You fell for
    my final life-risking trap!
[20:01] ---
    What?!
[20:03] ---
    Take a good look at the shape of the Aura
    our weapons create!
[20:09] ---
    A cross?!
[20:13] ---
    Grand Cross!
[20:15] ---
    Impossible!
[20:19] ---
    He was hiding a weapon
    charged with his Aura?!

[20:25] ---
    But he was completely defenseless!
[20:41] ---
    W-Where did you hide such a weapon?!
[20:46] ---
    This was the only weapon I had left!
[20:52] ---
    That flimsy little chain?
[20:56] ---
    This chain is unbreakable.
[20:59] ---
    It is a symbol of
    the bond of the Disciples of Avan!
[21:05] ---
    The bond...
[21:20] ---
    Using Grand Cross
    leaves me weak for a while.
[21:29] ---
    You're still alive?!
[21:36] ---
    Very well.
    This time I'll pierce your face!
[21:41] ---
    Can you?
[21:45] ---
    Popp!
[21:46] ---
    Drop your weapon!
    Otherwise, I crush the boy's skull!
[21:51] ---
    You dirty...!
[21:56] ---
    Don't!
[22:04] ---
    Even if you face the devil
    With logic on your side

[22:04] ---
    tatoe akuma ni seiron kazashite
    mukatte mitemo

[22:07] ---
    It may just be a rationalization
[22:07] ---
    sore wa akumade seitouka

    Even now, even now I waver

    How far will we go?
[22:15] ---

    I heard a voice like an angel's whisper
[22:19] ---
    tenshi no sasayaki nimo nita

[22:22] ---
    Maybe it was an imposter's illusion
    It still rang in my ears

[22:22] ---
    hatamata petenshi no mayakashi
    hitokiwa mimi ni hibiiteita

[22:26] ---
    Exposed to love and sorrow
[22:26] ---

[22:30] ---
    On the path strewn with pride
[22:30] ---
    hokori mamire michi no tochu

    Fleeting moments of cowardice

    I clenched my trembling fist
[22:48] ---

[22:48] ---
    That single little promise
[22:53] ---
    Those trivial little memories

[22:57] ---
    They're still in my heart

    As embers that keep me burning
[22:59] ---

    A single transparent beam of light
[23:04] ---
    tada hitosuji no toumei na hikari ga
[23:08] ---
    Lights the way before me
[23:08] ---

[23:11] ---
    There is little that I can do
[23:11] ---
    boku ni dekiru koto wa ikutsu mo naisa

    Just keep on to the future
    I managed to grasp through my faith

[23:33] ---
    After a fierce battle, Larhart entrusts
    Hyunckel and Popp with his last wish.

[23:38] ---
    Meanwhile, Dragon Master General Baran
    finally arrives at Teran Castle.

[23:43] ---
    Crocodine risks his life to face Baran,
[23:46] ---
    but Baran eventually reveals
    his true power full of grief and rage.
