    THE ROMOS MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENT
[01:54] ---
    It's the balloon!
    The balloon has returned!
[02:08] ---
    We're back!
[02:10] ---
    Princess!
[02:12] ---
    Where has she been this whole time?
[02:15] ---
    And she's brought more members.
[02:21] ---
    Princess Leona, as the princess
    of a country, you must behave--
[02:25] ---
    Gather the key figures
    of our country at once.
[02:29] ---
    Huh?! Uh...
[02:30] ---
    Time is of the essence. Hurry!
[02:33] ---
    Princess!
[02:35] ---
    Huh? What's going on?
[02:37] ---
    Leona!
[02:38] ---
    What about us?
[02:39] ---
    You'll have to wait for now.
[02:42] ---
    You should rest or train.
    Just prepare for battle.
[02:46] ---
    Prepare?
[02:48] ---
    Would somebody
    just tell me what happened?!
[02:55] ---
    Take us to Romos.
[02:56] ---
    My Lady!
[02:58] ---
    It looks like Princess Leona
    is leading the country to take action.
[03:02] ---
    What should we do?
[03:04] ---
    I don't know.
[03:05] ---
    You all haven't fully healed yet.
    Rest comes first.
[03:10] ---
    But...
[03:11] ---
    Shut up and obey! I'm off to bed, too.
[03:37] ---
    Ah, that's enough.
[03:39] ---
    Grand Master!
[03:40] ---
    It's time for you to leave the mountain.
[03:43] ---
    Test the results of your training here.
[03:47] ---
    ROMOS KINGDOM
    GRAND MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENT
[03:48] ---
    This is...!
[03:55] ---
    I'm not myself without this after all.
[03:58] ---
    Your clothes look clean, too.
[04:01] ---
    Merle fixed them for me back in Teran.
[04:04] ---
    She was so demure when we left.
[04:08] ---
    She took really good care of us.
[04:12] ---
    I wonder if she has a thing for me?
[04:16] ---
    As if!
[04:18] ---
    He's so dense when it comes to
    girls he's not interested in.

[04:23] ---
    What a waste.
[04:25] ---
    Okay, Mentor! Let's start my training!
[04:28] ---
    With my powered-up spells,
    I'll blow away...
[04:35] ---
    So he finally managed to do it.
[04:38] ---
    Huh?
[04:39] ---
    We'll train later.
[04:41] ---
    Go check it out.
[04:48] ---
    Dai!
[04:49] ---
    You actually learned to cast
    Zapple by yourself?!
[04:53] ---
    Yeah! I can do it any time
    without the power of my crest!
[04:58] ---
    Check it out!
[05:06] ---
    Zapple!
[05:11] ---
    Whoa! Awesome!
[05:13] ---
    Indeed. You've grown strong, Dai!
[05:16] ---
    That's nothing compared
    to his real power, old man.
[05:21] ---
    Dai! Now try using
    the power of your crest!
[05:26] ---
    Oh! The power of the Dragon Knight?!
[05:29] ---
    Wait right there!
[05:34] ---
    What's this?
[05:35] ---
    A gift from the princess.
[05:38] ---
    No weapon or armour can endure
    the full power of a Dragon Knight,
[05:45] ---
    but these clothes have been made with
    special Papnican cloth and technique.
[05:49] ---
    They should be fine!
[05:53] ---
    Huh?
[05:58] ---
    The Knife of Papnica!
    I thought it burned up!
[06:03] ---
    There are three Knives of Papnica.
[06:06] ---
    The one the princess had
    and gave to you was the Sun Knife.

[06:10] ---
    The one right here is the Wind Knife.
[06:13] ---
    Yeah, the other one had a red gem.
[06:17] ---
    This one's is green.
[06:19] ---
    The Sea Knife has been lost,
    so take care of this one!
[06:24] ---
    You can't use it when you're using
    the power of your crest!
[06:28] ---
    Got it!
[06:29] ---
    Good. Now try them on!
[06:42] ---
    Ooh!
[06:48] ---
    Huh.
[06:49] ---
    Oh! A perfect fit! You look good in them!
[06:55] ---
    Dai, the princess is currently
    working on something big.
[07:00] ---
    Since she can't help in person,
[07:02] ---
    she felt that giving you this equipment
    was the least she could do.
[07:08] ---
    Leona, thank you!
[07:11] ---
    Okay! Then let's begin!
[07:20] ---
    Crocodine!
[07:21] ---
    Right!
[07:29] ---
    Wow! The power of the crest
    even lets him cast Levizoom!
[07:39] ---
    That's fast!
[07:41] ---
    This is great! It feels so light!
[07:43] ---
    Then what about this?
[07:48] ---
    Beast King Redemption Blast!
[07:52] ---
    Draconic Aura!
[08:01] ---
    He withstood it?!
[08:03] ---
    Well done. Even my most powerful attack...
[08:08] ---
    Huh?!
[08:10] ---
    Dai!
[08:11] ---
    Dai!
[08:24] ---
    That scared me.
    He suddenly fell out of the sky.
[08:28] ---
    We thought Dai's power of the crest
    was invincible, but it has a weakness.
[08:35] ---
    With all of his Aura focused in his fist,
    his energy gets drained rapidly.
[08:42] ---
    If you can't control your energy use,
    you won't be able to fight long battles.
[08:47] ---
    That's not its only weakness.
[08:50] ---
    Huh?
[08:52] ---
    You can't use weapons.
[08:55] ---
    Your fists will be enough
    for a normal enemy,
[08:58] ---
    but not against a powerful one like Baran.
[09:02] ---
    Dammit!
[09:05] ---
    Maybe if you had a sword
    like Baran's Demon Dragon Blade.

[09:10] ---
    Is the Demon Dragon Blade really
    the only weapon a Dragon Knight can use?
[09:15] ---
    I'm sure that's not true.
    The world's a big place.
[09:19] ---
    I'm sure there are other
    amazing weapons out there.
[09:22] ---
    For example,
    the famous Sword of Champions.
[09:27] ---
    The Sword of Champions?
[09:28] ---
    That's just a legend.
[09:30] ---
    No, it's not!
[09:31] ---
    At the Martial Arts Tournament in Romos...
[09:34] ---
    Martial Arts Tournament?
[09:36] ---
    ...the prize for the winner
    is the Sword of Champions!
[09:40] ---
    What?!
[09:42] ---
    -Is that true?! Is it?! Is it?!
    -Really?! Is it?!
[09:44] ---
    It's true! Amy told me
    when she came back from Romos!
[09:49] ---
    That's it!
[09:52] ---
    The Sword of Champions?
[09:54] ---
    It's the prize for the tournament, right?
[09:56] ---
    Oh, that.
[09:58] ---
    I met King Romos
    on orders from the princess.
[10:02] ---
    ROMOS KINGDOM
    GRAND MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENT
[10:02] ---
    He wants to gather
    strong warriors to fight the Dark Army,
[10:05] ---
    so he's holding a Martial Arts Tournament.
[10:08] ---
    Ooh!
[10:09] ---
    Any fighting style is allowed
    as well as weapons.
[10:13] ---
    The winner will receive the legendary
    Sword of Champions.
[10:18] ---
    It's true!
[10:19] ---
    When's the tournament?!
[10:21] ---
    Today.
[10:22] ---
    Today?!
[10:23] ---
    The preliminary fights begin at noon.
[10:25] ---
    Noon?! There's still time!
[10:27] ---
    Where is it?!
[10:29] ---
    At a Colosseum built
    a short distance from Romos Castle.
[10:32] ---
    We can reach the castle with Zoom!
[10:34] ---
    We should hurry!
[10:37] ---
    Zoom!
[10:40] ---
    Wait!
[10:45] ---
    Mister!
[10:46] ---
    You!
[10:47] ---
    The Hero!
[10:49] ---
    Where's the Martial Arts Tournament?!
[10:51] ---
    S-Straight down that road!
[10:53] ---
    Down the path to the right!
[10:55] ---
    -Thank you!
    -Thanks!
[10:57] ---
    We just might make it!
[10:58] ---
    Let's win this thing
    and get the Sword of Champions!
[11:02] ---
    Yeah!
[11:07] ---
    MAGIC BULLET GUN
[11:12] ---
    CRACKLE
    ICE-TYPE SPELL
[11:16] ---
    Oh my. I thought they ran off in a hurry.
    So they already went to Romos.
[11:23] ---
    It's probably better than
    waiting around here.
[11:26] ---
    Lady Amy, what big thing
    is Princess Leona planning?
[11:31] ---
    I'm not at liberty
    to discuss that right now.
[11:35] ---
    But not only have
    the Papnica Troika been deployed,
[11:39] ---
    but the princess herself is traveling
    the world in preparation.
[11:45] ---
    I see.
[11:46] ---
    Crocodine, what are your plans?
[11:50] ---
    For now, I'm hoping Baduck
    can repair my weapon.
[11:54] ---
    Then I apologize for this, but...
[11:58] ---
    I'm leaving to train.
[11:59] ---
    To train?
[12:01] ---
    The battle with Baran taught me something.
[12:04] ---
    When powerful individuals
    fight each other at full strength,
[12:10] ---
    the battle becomes truly horrific.
[12:14] ---
    As a Dragonoid,
    Baran couldn't control his power.

[12:19] ---
    It turned him into a monster
    capable of killing his own son, Dai.

[12:25] ---
    I used to believe all I had to do
    was defeat my enemy, but I was wrong.
[12:32] ---
    The power to fight and win isn't enough.
[12:40] ---
    Now that I've been given this Dark Armour
    Spear, I must live up to Larhart's will.
[12:45] ---
    To do that, I must gain the power
    to stop even one like Baran.
[12:50] ---
    But how will you train?
[12:53] ---
    I don't have that much experience
    with a spear.
[12:57] ---
    But the Book of Avan contains the secrets
    of the Avan Style Spear Technique.
[13:03] ---
    So Avan was a master of the spear as well?
[13:07] ---
    He said he was a master
    of all fighting styles.
[13:11] ---
    I must master
    the Avan Style Spear Technique
[13:15] ---
    and learn to use this Dark Armour Spear.
[13:19] ---
    Wait! Shouldn't you
    take the Book of Avan?!
[13:22] ---
    There's no need.
    I've read enough to memorize it.
[13:25] ---
    Besides, it's a little too precious
    for me to take.
[13:29] ---
    Dai and Popp should have it.
[13:31] ---
    Hyunckel...
[13:34] ---
    Take care of things for me.
[13:36] ---
    Got it. Leave Dai and Papnica to me.
[13:40] ---
    He's always so hard on himself.
[13:43] ---
    He's begun to realize his responsibility
    as the eldest Disciple of Avan.
[13:52] ---
    Do you think Dai will be able to win
    the Sword of Champions?
[13:56] ---
    Oh? This says...
[13:59] ---
    We're too late?!
[14:01] ---
    The preliminary fights begin at noon,
    but registration ends an hour before.
[14:08] ---
    Can't you do something?!
    We came all the way from Papnica!
[14:13] ---
    I know it's a request from the Hero...
[14:16] ---
    And I'd like to do something...
[14:19] ---
    But rules are rules.
[14:20] ---
    Oh, come on!
[14:24] ---
    The preliminary fights are starting.
[14:26] ---
    It's about to start!
[14:28] ---
    I wonder who'll be fighting.
[14:30] ---
    Man, what a crock.
    What did we waste all that effort for?
[14:34] ---
    Dammit.
[14:35] ---
    How about we challenge the winner
    and beat them?
[14:39] ---
    -Is that what Heroes do?
    -What do you think?! Well?!
[14:42] ---
    Man, let's go home.
    Forget the Sword of Champions.
[14:47] ---
    Why don't we check out the tournament?
    We might learn something.
[14:52] ---
    No thanks.
[14:54] ---
    It's a domestic tournament in Romos.
    No one interesting will be in it.
[15:00] ---
    Hey! Hurry up!
    There's a cute girl fighting!
[15:06] ---
    But we might just learn something.
[15:11] ---
    Wow! Amazing!
[15:23] ---
    Amazing!
[15:26] ---
    Let's see how cute she is.
[15:30] ---
    Why you...!
[16:01] ---
    Oh, wow!
[16:02] ---
    Actually, let's go.
[16:04] ---
    I'd rather not get to know
    any girl this freakishly strong.
[16:24] ---
    I heard that, Popp!
[16:26] ---
    Huh?!
[16:38] ---
    Three minutes, 15 seconds!
    The Martial Artist Maam wins by knockout!

[16:43] ---
    Oh, wow! That girl really is tough!
[16:46] ---
    The next fight will begin in ten minutes!
[16:49] ---
    Maam!
[16:52] ---
    Dai! Gomechan!
[16:56] ---
    So you entered this Martial Arts
    Tournament as a Martial Artist!
[17:00] ---
    That's right! What a surprise!
    I didn't expect to run into you here!
[17:06] ---
    Popp?
[17:07] ---
    What's wrong, Popp?
[17:10] ---
    Is it really Maam?
    I can't be sure. It could be a fake again.

[17:19] ---
    Okay!
[17:20] ---
    What?
[17:22] ---
    Huh?
[17:24] ---
    The real Maam's eyes should have
    a different look from Zaboera's...
[17:30] ---
    What are you doing?!
[17:35] ---
    That slap's the real deal...
[17:40] ---
    Who the hell are you?!
[17:47] ---
    A Fat Rat!
[17:48] ---
    What's it doing here?!
[17:49] ---
    You got a problem?!
    The rules don't say a monster can't enter!
[17:56] ---
    A talking Fat Rat!
[17:57] ---
    What the hell are you?!
[18:00] ---
    Ow, ow, ow! What are you doing?!
[18:03] ---
    That's my line! You dare disrespect
    Miss Maam, you random pervert!
[18:09] ---
    Wait! I'm not...!
[18:10] ---
    That's enough, Chiu!
[18:13] ---
    Yes, Miss!
[18:14] ---
    I told you about them.
    This is Dai, Popp, and Gomechan.
[18:18] ---
    Huh? This is the Hero's party?
[18:22] ---
    No way!
[18:23] ---
    Yes way!
[18:25] ---
    That hurt, you little rat!
    I'm gonna roast you on a spit!
[18:29] ---
    Wait, Popp.
[18:31] ---
    He's my senior pupil. Please forgive him.
[18:34] ---
    Senior pupil?! Ratty?!
[18:36] ---
    That's right.
[18:38] ---
    I was trained by Grand Master
    Brokeena the Holy Fist.

[18:43] ---
    This is the Karate Rat Chiu
    who studied together with me.
[18:47] ---
    Hah!
[18:48] ---
    A Karate Rat?!
[18:50] ---
    Huh.
[18:51] ---
    I see. So you're the Hero Dai
    I've heard so much about.
[18:56] ---
    You're smaller than I thought.
[18:59] ---
    Uh, you think so?
[19:02] ---
    The next fight is between the
    Wrestler Gomes and the Karate Rat Chiu!

[19:08] ---
    Both fighters enter the ring!
[19:12] ---
    Just sit back and see my strength!
[19:15] ---
    Miss Maam, I'll make quick work of him!
[19:20] ---
    Hey you, pervert Mage!
    Let's talk later! Don't go anywhere!
[19:27] ---
    That little...!
[19:30] ---
    Sorry. He's not a bad guy at heart.
[19:33] ---
    What's he like?
[19:35] ---
    He used to be an evil monster
    who ravaged a local village.
[19:40] ---
    Grand Master Brokeena captured him
    and put him to training.
[19:46] ---
    He gained a strong heart immune
    to the Dark Lord's evil will,
[19:50] ---
    and studied to learn to talk.
[19:53] ---
    Brokeena sounds impressive...
[19:55] ---
    So what are you two doing here?
[19:58] ---
    Well, we fought the Dragon Legion.
[20:01] ---
    What?!
[20:02] ---
    Uh oh! We have to explain what happened
    gently, or the shock might be a bit much.

[20:08] ---
    It was such an ordeal.
[20:09] ---
    Hey! Dai!
[20:11] ---
    Popp even died once!
[20:15] ---
    Hey! Dai!
[20:19] ---
    Care to explain?
[20:21] ---
    Well... Uh...
[20:27] ---
    Huh? What the hell?
[20:30] ---
    A monster wearing fighting gear?
[20:35] ---
    You don't even know
    my real strength, you fool!
[20:39] ---
    What did you say?!
[20:41] ---
    If I can defeat this thug
    and show off how cool I am,
[20:45] ---
    Miss Maam's heart will be mine!
[20:52] ---
    So that's why you need
    the Sword of Champions.
[20:55] ---
    Yeah. If you win this...
[21:00] ---
    Even if I win, I won't accept
    the Sword of Champions.
[21:04] ---
    Huh?!
[21:07] ---
    I can't help you kill your own father!
[21:12] ---
    Maam...
[21:14] ---
    But...
[21:22] ---
    Hmm. This appears to be
    quite a success, Mister Zamza.
[21:27] ---
    Yes. And it's all thanks to you,
    Your Majesty.
[21:32] ---
    No, no. Gathering strong fighters
[21:34] ---
    to increase our country's strength
    was your idea. I merely agreed to it.
[21:40] ---
    Let us hope we gather many of them.
[21:43] ---
    Of course, Your Majesty.
[21:52] ---
    That is our goal after all.
[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
    sashite chigai wa naikamo

[22:11] ---
    Even now, even now I waver
[22:11] ---
    ima mo ima mo yureteiru kedo
[22:15] ---
    How far will we go?
[22:15] ---
    bokura wa dokomade yukuno
[22:19] ---
    I heard a voice like an angel's whisper
[22:19] ---
    tenshi no sasayaki nimo nita
    koe ga kikoeta

[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] ---
    ai ni hiai ni sarasare nagara
[22:30] ---
    On the path strewn with pride
[22:30] ---
    hokori mamire michi no tochu
[22:36] ---
    Fleeting moments of cowardice
[22:36] ---
    kiete wa ukabu touhikou
[22:40] ---
    The SOS I held back
[22:40] ---
    nomikonda SOS
[22:43] ---
    I clenched my trembling fist
[22:44] ---
    furueru te wo nigirishimeta
[22:48] ---
    That single little promise
[22:48] ---
    tatta hitotsu no chiisana yakusoku ga
[22:53] ---
    Those trivial little memories
[22:53] ---
    honno sasaina omoidetachi ga
[22:57] ---
    They're still in my heart
[22:57] ---
    itsumade tattemo kono mune wo
[22:59] ---
    As embers that keep me burning
[22:59] ---
    kogashi tsuzukeru tomoshibi ni naru
[23:04] ---
    A single transparent beam of light
[23:04] ---
    tada hitosuji no toumei na hikari ga
[23:08] ---
    Lights the way before me
[23:08] ---
    me no mae wo terashite yuku
[23:11] ---
    There is little that I can do
[23:11] ---
    boku ni dekiru koto wa ikutsu mo naisa
[23:16] ---
    Just keep on to the future
    I managed to grasp through my faith

[23:16] ---
    shinjinuita saki ni te ni shita mirai wo
    susunde yuke

[23:33] ---
    Dai and Popp rejoice at their reunion
    with the Martial Artist, Maam.

[23:38] ---
    Leaving the tournament and
    the Sword of Champions to Maam,

[23:41] ---
    they watch over the battle
    in anticipation.

[23:45] ---
    The tournament moves on to the finals,
[23:47] ---
    but behind the scenes,
    an unknown plot begins to take motion.

[23:52] ---
    DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,
[23:55] ---
    
"The Incident at the Finals"*
[23:56] ---
    The adventure continues!
