    THE HERO'S TUTOR
[02:01] ---
    Dark Army, advance!
[02:04] ---
    Charge! Charge!
[02:22] ---
    This looks very grim. Speed it up, Popp.
[02:26] ---
    Yes, Master.
[02:27] ---
    Woo-hoo! Go, go!
[02:38] ---
    What's wrong with you?!
[02:44] ---
    Are you okay, Gomechan?
[02:50] ---
    What's wrong with everyone?!
[02:53] ---
    Grampa, emergency!
[03:03] ---
    Get a grip, Grampa!
[03:08] ---
    Dai?
[03:09] ---
    Grampa!
[03:12] ---
    Are you okay?
[03:13] ---
    It feels like black blood
    is coursing through my veins!
[03:17] ---
    If I don't stay focused,
    I think I'll go berserk!
[03:22] ---
    Everyone suddenly became violent.
    What's wrong with them?
[03:30] ---
    There's only one possible reason.
[03:33] ---
    The Dark Lord has returned!
[03:35] ---
    What?!
[03:36] ---
    This urge to go berserk
    can only be the Dark Lord's evil will.
[03:42] ---
    He wants to gather us with his dark power
    to try to overthrow the world again!
[03:48] ---
    No way...
[03:49] ---
    Dai, you must leave this island!
    Otherwise we might kill you!
[03:56] ---
    Hurry!
[03:57] ---
    But...
[03:58] ---
    It was my good heart that let me raise you
    after you drifted here on this boat.
[04:05] ---
    At this rate, I might harm you
    with my own hands.
[04:10] ---
    Grampa...
[04:17] ---
    Just go!
[04:19] ---
    No!
[04:19] ---
    Listen to me!
[04:21] ---
    I can't run by myself!
    That's not what a Hero would do!
[04:26] ---
    Dai...
[04:27] ---
    Precisely!
[04:29] ---
    Well said. You must be...
[04:32] ---
    Dai.
[04:35] ---
    How do you know my name?
[04:40] ---
    Why don't you leave this to me.
[04:52] ---
    Look out!
[04:56] ---
    Don't worry. Master's got this.
[04:59] ---
    Master?
[05:19] ---
    Dark influence, begone!
[05:26] ---
    Glimmer!
[05:47] ---
    Oh wow.
[05:49] ---
    It's a miracle.
[05:50] ---
    Who are you?
[05:52] ---
    How rude of me. I...
[05:56] ---
    I CAN TRAIN YOUR HERO!!
    A 15-YEAR VETERAN OF THE TRADE
[05:56] ---
    am a Hero trainer.
    Basically a tutor for Heroes.
[06:01] ---
    A Hero's tutor?
[06:03] ---
    Yes. Agents of peace who uphold justice
    and defeat evil! Heroes, Sages, Mages...
[06:09] ---
    It is my job to train them
    into first-class warriors!
[06:14] ---
    It is I, Avan De Zinuar III.
[06:19] ---
    Where have I heard that name?
[06:21] ---
    And this is my student, Popp.
[06:24] ---
    He is currently training to become a Mage.
[06:28] ---
    So why is such a tutor here?
[06:32] ---
    Perhaps you've noticed
    that the Dark Lord has returned.
[06:37] ---
    I knew it.
[06:38] ---
    Monsters under his control are everywhere,
[06:41] ---
    and people in places
    like Romos and Papnica are in danger.
[06:45] ---
    No! King Romos and Leona, too?!
[06:49] ---
    The Papnica royal family
    asked that I come here.
[06:53] ---
    They want me to train the future Hero
    on Dermline Island to be a true Hero.
[06:59] ---
    Dai, will you undergo my training?
[07:03] ---
    This is to defeat the Dark Lord,
    so it will be exceptionally hard.
[07:09] ---
    I'll do it! If Leona is in danger,
    I have to go help her!
[07:13] ---
    Plus, if we don't defeat the Dark Lord,
    Grampa and the others can't live in peace!
[07:17] ---
    Please train me! I'll become a true Hero
    and defeat the Dark Lord!
[07:24] ---
    Very good!
[07:27] ---
    What's that?!
[07:29] ---
    Gargoyles!
[07:32] ---
    I see humans!
[07:33] ---
    Kill them!
[07:39] ---
    What the hell?!
[07:40] ---
    Check it out!
[07:42] ---
    A magic circle of light
    has sealed off the entire island!
[07:46] ---
    They appear to be
    scouts for the Dark Lord.
[07:49] ---
    Popp, take care of them.
[07:51] ---
    Huh?! By myself?!
[07:54] ---
    I used the purification spell, Glimmer,
    so I am very, very tired.
[08:00] ---
    Aww. No fair, Master.
[08:03] ---
    Don't push!
    I get it already!
[08:06] ---
    Hey! I'll fight you!
[08:08] ---
    You brat!
[08:10] ---
    Don't make me laugh!
[08:12] ---
    Kafrizz!
[08:21] ---
    He trained that boy to be
    such a powerful magic user!
[08:24] ---
    It seems this man is the real deal.
[08:27] ---
    You bastard!
[08:29] ---
    I'll roast you into fried chicken next!
[08:32] ---
    Fizzle!
[08:36] ---
    Ka... Ka...
[08:40] ---
    Take that, brat!
[08:41] ---
    Oh... Oh crap!
[08:43] ---
    How disappointing.
[08:45] ---
    I told you that Gargoyles can use
    the magic impairment spell, Fizzle.
[08:53] ---
    What the hell?!
[08:55] ---
    Servant of the Dark Lord...
[08:57] ---
    get off of this island!
[09:08] ---
    Darn it!
[09:12] ---
    Look out!
[09:25] ---
    You may use that.
[09:26] ---
    It's a distinguished legendary sword.
[09:46] ---
    It'll take more than improvised swordplay
    to defeat a soldier of the Dark Army!
[09:52] ---
    Don't get cocky!
[10:10] ---
    I did it!
[10:13] ---
    You did it!
[10:14] ---
    That's really an amazing sword, Master!
[10:18] ---
    Hmm. It's actually a cheap sword
    I bought at a used goods store.
[10:22] ---
    It seems this boy may be quite the find.
[10:27] ---
    Master, what's my next training?!
[10:30] ---
    Now, now. Don't get ahead of yourself, Dai
[10:33] ---
    Popp, you're the older student,
    so look after Dai.
[10:39] ---
    Nice to meet you, Mr. Popp.
[10:41] ---
    It's just Popp.
[10:45] ---
    Now then, I have various training courses,
    but we're short on time.
[10:49] ---
    And so, Dai, you will be taking the
    one week hero-making Special Hard Course.
[10:57] ---
    What?! I can become a Hero in a week?!
[11:01] ---
    There's no way you can!
    Don't do it! You'll die!
[11:04] ---
    Popp...
[11:07] ---
    You can join, too.
[11:09] ---
    No thank you, Master!
    I'm fine with the normal training!
[11:13] ---
    I'll do it!
[11:16] ---
    I need to get strong and save Leona
    as soon as possible!
[11:19] ---
    Very good.
    We'll begin your hard training tomorrow.
[11:24] ---
    Huh? Not right away?
[11:26] ---
    Sir Avan is tired from a long journey.
[11:29] ---
    He's also expended much Magic Power
    casting such a powerful spell.
[11:33] ---
    Precisely.
    Let's all get some proper rest today.
[11:38] ---
    I understand!
[11:41] ---
    There's no way you could
    become a Hero in just a week.
[11:48] ---
    KASWOOSH
    VORTEX-TYPE SPELL
[11:53] ---
    CRACKLE
    ICE-TYPE SPELL
[12:04] ---
    Right. The Special Hard Course.
[12:30] ---
    Dai, slice this with a sword.
[12:33] ---
    Huh?! This?!
[12:35] ---
    This is the first day's objective.
[12:43] ---
    Oh no! I broke the legendary sword!
[12:47] ---
    I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
    I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[12:48] ---
    Don't worry about it.
    Use your knife instead.
[12:53] ---
    Okay!
[12:54] ---
    This sword only cost ten gold coins,
    so it's only natural.
[13:06] ---
    It's no good. I can't cut it.
[13:10] ---
    I guess you're not ready yet.
[13:11] ---
    In that case, go run a little more.
[13:21] ---
    Now we'll begin
    the normal training course!
[13:28] ---
    Hey, are you okay?
[13:30] ---
    First is Avan Style Basic Training!
[13:38] ---
    Next is Avan Style Unarmed Combat!
[13:43] ---
    Don't forget the basics of magic!
[13:45] ---
    Popp, what sort of training is this?
[13:48] ---
    It's meditation
    to increase your Magic Power.
[13:56] ---
    Now for magic practice.
[14:02] ---
    Crackle!
[14:07] ---
    The wave froze! Amazing!
[14:11] ---
    Of course, I've been training
    with Master for over a year.
[14:23] ---
    Huh?!
[14:24] ---
    You fail to see things through as usual.
[14:27] ---
    Magic is about focus. Focus.
[14:31] ---
    Yes sir.
[14:32] ---
    Now Dai, it's your turn.
[14:38] ---
    Crack!
[14:44] ---
    Not much potential for magic, I see.
[14:47] ---
    I don't have to worry
    about him overtaking me.
[14:51] ---
    Hard training! Sword practice!
[14:58] ---
    Very good.
    He does show promise in swordplay.
[15:08] ---
    Don't worry.
    That man possesses unfathomable skill.
[15:12] ---
    Besides, I've never
    seen Dai train so seriously.
[15:20] ---
    Now Dai.
[15:23] ---
    Let's give it another go.
[15:27] ---
    Master, I'm completely beat.
[15:30] ---
    Just trust me and give it a try.
[15:34] ---
    Okay.
[15:48] ---
    I cut it?
[15:51] ---
    When people are thoroughly exhausted,
    their movements become simple.
[15:57] ---
    In other words,
    their most natural movements.
[16:01] ---
    You tended to move too much
    with your sword.
[16:04] ---
    You've always had the strength
    to slice a boulder like this.
[16:09] ---
    Master, you really are amazing!
[16:16] ---
    He really sliced it in one day!
[16:18] ---
    Well done, Dai!
[16:27] ---
    He really must have been exhausted.
[16:32] ---
    Master, are you really going to continue
    with the Special Hard Course?
[16:37] ---
    Of course. His grand objective
    is to save his friends, so he'll be fine.
[16:47] ---
    Popp, you can join us with the morning
    and evening training if you'd like.
[17:22] ---
    Well done. You made me use
    both hands in only two days.
[17:33] ---
    Dai, you amaze me.
[17:36] ---
    To improve this much since yesterday
    is astounding progress.
[17:42] ---
    As a reward, let me show you
    my special move.
[17:45] ---
    Huh?
[17:48] ---
    This is my super special attack.
    Try to master it as soon as possible.
[17:57] ---
    Master, are you...
[17:59] ---
    Avan Strash!
[18:04] ---
    Master just went and showed him
    his best attack!
[18:07] ---
    It's this strong with just a wooden stick?
    That's an amazing attack!
[18:11] ---
    Popp, you can join
    the Special Hard Course anytime.
[18:16] ---
    Huh?! No thanks!
    I'm fine with the Normal Course!
[18:19] ---
    AVAN STYLE SWORD TECHNIQUE THEORY
    EARTH, SEA, AIR
[18:20] ---
    The theory
    of the Avan Style Sword Technique.
[18:23] ---
    Earth, sea, and air. You will learn
    to slice these three things.
[18:29] ---
    Earth? Sea and air?
[18:31] ---
    Yes. Let's start with
    the earth slicing attack, Earth Slash.
[18:37] ---
    The key to this attack is power.
    In other words, strength.
[18:54] ---
    Avan Style Sword Technique!
[18:57] ---
    Earth Slash!
[19:07] ---
    Very nice.
    You've almost mastered Earth Slash.
[19:11] ---
    But Earth Slash is the most basic attack.
    I wanna learn Avan Strash.
[19:18] ---
    No, no. Everything has its proper order.
[19:21] ---
    AVAN STYLE SWORD TECHNIQUE THEORY
    EARTH, SEA, AIR
[19:22] ---
    Slice the earth, slice the sea,
    slice the air.
[19:25] ---
    And what slices everything is Avan Strash.
[19:29] ---
    Oh. I've got a long way to go.
[19:36] ---
    Popp.
[19:37] ---
    If you're watching, tend to Dai.
[19:41] ---
    Y-Yes sir!
[19:45] ---
    There. Get some rest until dinner.
[19:47] ---
    Thanks.
[19:48] ---
    Are you really going
    to continue this all week?
[19:52] ---
    Yeah. I am.
[19:54] ---
    That's insane. Do you really like
    that Papnica Princess that much?
[19:59] ---
    Pretty much.
[20:01] ---
    You're so naive.
[20:13] ---
    I do apologize for dinner being so late.
[20:17] ---
    N-Not at all.
[20:18] ---
    I get so excited watching Dai's progress
    I get caught up in the training.
[20:23] ---
    And Popp too.
[20:25] ---
    Popp?
[20:26] ---
    Oh, he would never
    take his training seriously.
[20:32] ---
    Every time I gave him a hard task,
    he'd always give up.
[20:35] ---
    But recently, he's been curious about Dai
    and keeps spying on him.
[20:40] ---
    I see.
[20:41] ---
    By the way, tomorrow's training
    could get a little chaotic.
[20:46] ---
    Is there a place we can use
    where we won't trouble others?
[20:49] ---
    A place that won't cause trouble?
[20:53] ---
    You managed to learn Earth Slash
    in two days, Dai.
[20:57] ---
    Therefore, your third day training
    shall be to learn an even harder skill.
[21:02] ---
    Yes sir.
[21:03] ---
    It won't be easy.
    If you aren't careful...
[21:06] ---
    you will die.
[21:09] ---
    What sort of training is it?
[21:12] ---
    Very simple. You will fight me.
[21:15] ---
    That's all?
[21:17] ---
    However, I will be using a special spell,
    so you may use your knife.
[21:23] ---
    My knife of Papnica?
[21:25] ---
    That's right. My skin will
    be harder than steel after all.
[21:34] ---
    Here we go, Dai.
[21:40] ---
    Puff!
[21:53] ---
    Master turned into a Dragon!
[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] ---

    Listen to me, Mother

    I will never change those I protect
[22:46] ---
    mamoru hito wo kaetari shinai

    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
[23:14] ---
    I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment
[23:14] ---
    ochikonnde shimau boku wo warau no darou
[23:33] ---
    To learn the Avan Style Sword Technique
[23:35] ---
    Dai bravely faces Avan, who changed
    into a Dragon using an ancient spell.
[23:42] ---
    Through Avan's training,
    Dai rapidly grows stronger.
[23:46] ---
    But an evil presence closes in.
[23:51] ---
    Next time on
    DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,
[23:55] ---
    "The Dark Lord Hadlar's Return"*
[23:57] ---
    The adventure continues!
[23:59] ---
