    No matter where this journey takes us
[00:32] ---
    are itsukarada?
[00:32] ---
    Since when was it?
[00:36] ---
    Being honest became whining
[00:36] ---
    honne ga yowane ni nattana
[00:39] ---
    Standing firm became strength
[00:39] ---

    Have you found it yet?

    Not confidence, your true self
[00:45] ---

    There must be something
    I've forgotten that I still haven't found

    I smolder because I've actually burned

    No matter where this journey takes us

    I'll just open my eyes

    THE CLASH OF POWERFUL SWORDS
[01:51] ---
    My sword realizes it!
[01:57] ---
    Hey! Don't use your crest at full power!
[02:00] ---
    You need to conserve your energy!
[02:02] ---
    No! He's not the Hadlar we knew!
[02:05] ---
    I have to fight
    with my full strength or we'll die!
[02:11] ---
    An astute observation!
    You truly are my rival!
[02:39] ---
    I expect nothing less
    from a Disciple of Avan!
[02:51] ---
    Oh?
[03:07] ---
    H-Hadlar's completely changed!
[03:11] ---
    He's a complete monster now!
[03:14] ---
    I've seen those features somewhere...
[03:38] ---
    C-Could he be a Superior Being?!
[03:41] ---
    W-What?!
[03:44] ---
    He was converted
    using the data Zamza sent!
[03:49] ---
    Isn't that right, Hadlar?!
[03:52] ---
    You'll see when you fight me.
[03:55] ---
    You can experience it yourself.
[03:58] ---
    This power I obtained
    by sacrificing everything!
[04:09] ---
    And realize...
[04:12] ---
    compared to all the powerful enemies
    that you've fought...
[04:17] ---
    just how powerful I am!
[04:38] ---
    D-Dai!
[04:47] ---
    Th-That's impossible!
[04:49] ---
    I blocked him with
    the crest power focused in my right hand!
[04:54] ---
    It's numb!
[04:57] ---
    I can't draw my sword like this!
[05:08] ---
    Boom!
[05:21] ---
    A-A spell?! How?!
[05:24] ---
    I thought Superior Beings
    couldn't cast spells!
[05:37] ---
    Stop, Hadlar!
[05:39] ---
    No, you stop.
[05:43] ---
    Hold it. We're at a ceasefire for now.
[05:47] ---
    Out of respect for Commander Hadlar.
[05:50] ---
    After all, this is a one-on-one duel
    between him and Dai.
[05:55] ---
    Get real! We never agreed
    to any one-on-one business!
[06:01] ---
    I believe you have an obligation
    to see this duel through.
[06:06] ---
    Hadlar can no longer become a Darkling.
[06:10] ---
    He gave up everything for this battle.
[06:16] ---
    Gave up?!
[06:17] ---
    I know!
[06:18] ---
    In order to be able to cast spells,
[06:21] ---
    he gave up the ability to turn from
    a Superior Being back to a Darkling!
[06:27] ---
    So Hadlar is stuck
    in that monster form forever!
[06:33] ---
    That's right.
[06:35] ---
    I hate to admit it, but as a result
    he has gotten just a little stronger.
[06:41] ---
    Yup, yup!
[06:43] ---
    "Just a little"?! Are you kidding me?!
[06:46] ---
    A Superior Being that can cast spells?!
[06:49] ---
    That's a formula for true flawlessness!
[06:56] ---
    I no longer care for my Darkling body!
[07:00] ---
    In fact, by giving it up,
[07:03] ---
    I was able to discard my foolish pride as
    the Dark Lord who dominated the world!
[07:12] ---
    True victory can never be attained
    by one obsessed with reputation!
[07:17] ---
    This is a lesson
    your master Avan taught me!
[07:31] ---
    He's strong!
[07:32] ---
    Not only that,
    he's more resolute than ever before!
[07:37] ---
    I can't beat him without my sword!
[07:39] ---
    I need to draw it
    with my left hand somehow!
[08:07] ---
    Boom!
[08:11] ---
    Wave Slash!
[08:26] ---
    Ah...
[08:33] ---
    So that's your new sword.
[08:40] ---
    Very well.
    We shall see with your next strike,
[08:45] ---
    whether the power within my right arm
[08:48] ---
    is stronger than the power of your sword!
[08:52] ---
    The power within his right arm?
[08:54] ---
    Does he have a power
    greater than those claws?!
[08:58] ---
    N-No way!
[09:00] ---
    I've seen the awesome destructive power
    of the Sword of Dai!
[09:06] ---
    No matter what sort of
    killer attack he has,
[09:10] ---
    it can't be stronger than that!
[09:21] ---
    Dai, hurry up and finish it!
[09:23] ---
    Don't forget that Superior Beings
    regenerate while fighting!
[09:28] ---
    I know that, Popp.
[09:30] ---
    I intend to finish it!
[09:35] ---
    Good. The feeling's returned!
[09:40] ---
    Hm?
[09:42] ---
    Draconic Aura!
[09:49] ---
    That's...
[09:50] ---
    Is that...?
[09:57] ---
    Avan Strash.
[10:00] ---
    The attack that cleaved Sovereign
    Rock Castle was probably Earth Slash.
[10:05] ---
    And he just used Wave Slash.
[10:09] ---
    This will be the first Avan Strash
    the Sword of Dai unleashes.
[10:14] ---
    No matter what
    amazing power you have hidden,
[10:18] ---
    it can't beat this strike
    I've filled with all my power!
[10:23] ---
    Then try it.
[10:25] ---
    If you're right, I'll be cleaved in two.
[10:30] ---
    But I will be testing myself, too!
[10:35] ---
    The ultimate being
    said to be of divine creation...
[10:41] ---
    A strike from such a Dragon Knight...
[10:45] ---
    will reveal just how complete a weapon
    I, Hadlar the Superior Being, have become!
[10:54] ---
    He seems pretty confident.
    I wonder what power he's gained.
[10:59] ---
    I won't lose!
    Not while I have the Sword of Dai!
[11:04] ---
    No matter who I face!
[11:09] ---
    I won't lose!
[11:13] ---
    Here goes, Hadlar!
[11:14] ---
    Come on!
[11:16] ---
    Avan...
[11:18] ---
    Strash!
[11:26] ---
    Did it work?!
[11:42] ---
    That's impossible!
[11:48] ---
    A direct hit from the Sword of Dai,
    and his arm isn't even cut!
[11:52] ---
    Is his... Is Hadlar's body
    harder than Orichalcum?!
[12:00] ---
    Th-That's not it!
[12:02] ---
    I felt the impact of something metallic!
[12:09] ---
    That's right, Dai. I have one, too.
[12:13] ---
    A legendary weapon equal to your own.
[12:18] ---
    The Sword of Champions.
[12:22] ---
    The Sword of Champions?
[12:24] ---
    That's right! Zamza gave it to Hadlar!
[12:28] ---
    Indeed. The real Sword of Champions...
[12:32] ---
    is right here.
[12:41] ---
    In my right arm!
[12:52] ---
    AVAN STRASH
[12:57] ---
    REAPER FLUTE
[13:08] ---
    Yow!
[13:09] ---
    Could this Dark Aura be...?
[13:12] ---
    Dark Fire Energy.
[13:14] ---
    What?!
[13:15] ---
    Dark Fire Energy! Dark! Fire! Energy!
[13:19] ---
    A Dark Aura that burns life energy
    beyond its limits!
[13:25] ---
    Remember that!
[13:33] ---
    I can tell from that strike!
[13:36] ---
    My power is on par with
    that of a Dragon Knight!
[13:40] ---
    And with an equal weapon,
    my fighting power is greater!
[13:51] ---
    Dai!
[13:54] ---
    But I won't hold back!
[13:56] ---
    To not fight with my fullest abilities
    would be disrespectful!
[14:03] ---
    Take this, Dai!
[14:04] ---
    A strike I unleash
    using the Sword of Champions!
[14:20] ---
    Ultra Combustion Slash!
[14:23] ---
    Ultra Combustion Slash?!
[14:25] ---
    Not a bad idea.
[14:26] ---
    By using Dark Fire Energy
    along his sword,
[14:30] ---
    the power of his attack is magnified.
[14:33] ---
    Oh wow!
[14:35] ---
    Dai! Run!
[14:37] ---
    Don't get hit!
[14:41] ---
    I-I can't! It's too late!
[14:44] ---
    I have to defend with my Draconic Aura!
[14:51] ---
    My Aura's weak!
[14:56] ---
    Die!
[15:03] ---
    Oh my. Did he finish him?
[15:09] ---
    Oh! Look there!
[15:14] ---
    A Zoom spell.
[15:15] ---
    Popp jumped in and rescued Dai.
[15:20] ---
    It's supposed to be one-on-one!
    You cheater!
[15:27] ---
    Hey! They're running! Get back here!
[15:31] ---
    They won't get away!
[15:47] ---
    Oh wow! He's super fast!
[15:50] ---
    Let's follow them.
[15:57] ---
    I never thought
    I'd be called a cheater by them!
[16:03] ---
    P-Popp... Why...?
[16:06] ---
    Dai, I'll be honest with you.
[16:09] ---
    You can't beat Hadlar alone!
[16:15] ---
    Until now, he always tended
    to give in to his emotions.
[16:21] ---
    That's why even I was able
    to match him somehow.
[16:26] ---
    But Hadlar's changed!
[16:30] ---
    He isn't just stronger
    from becoming a Superior Being!
[16:33] ---
    It's like his mind has been cleared!
[16:36] ---
    Guys like that
    who don't waver are dangerous.
[16:40] ---
    I'd know. I've been there.
[16:43] ---
    B-But...!
[16:44] ---
    Enough! We're going back to Papnica!
[16:48] ---
    We're already exhausted
    from fighting Sovereign Rock Castle!
[16:53] ---
    Here we go!
[16:55] ---
    Zoom!
[16:59] ---
    Oh crap! I've used too much Magic Power!
[17:04] ---
    What's wrong, Popp?
[17:07] ---
    Don't worry! Let's just run
    as far as possible with Levizoom!
[17:16] ---
    Where are you going, Popp?
[17:19] ---
    You're headed East.
    That's not the way back.
[17:54] ---
    How do you like
    my flawless Superior Being?!
[18:00] ---
    If he defeats Dai, it will mean
    he's surpassed a Dragon Knight!
[18:06] ---
    He will be greater than
    the god-created Dragon Knight!
[18:11] ---
    Meaning I've surpassed the gods!
[18:14] ---
    Surely it's safe to say now
    that I am a god!
[18:23] ---
    He can already use Levizoom
    without the use of his crest.
[18:29] ---
    I can't take my eyes off him for a second.
[18:40] ---
    Dai! Don't!
[18:42] ---
    Don't do it!
[18:44] ---
    Popp, run! While I'm keeping him busy!
[18:47] ---
    The power of your crest has faded.
[18:50] ---
    That means your Draconic Aura is gone.
[19:00] ---
    It looks like I win!
[19:05] ---
    I have to attack!
[19:06] ---
    Defending with what Draconic Aura or
    Magic Power I have left won't be enough!
[19:12] ---
    It's over! Take this!
[19:14] ---
    Anything! Some sort of attack that uses
    all my Aura and Magic Power at once!
[19:20] ---
    Ultra Combustion Slash!
[19:36] ---
    L-Look!
[19:42] ---
    Dai!
[19:48] ---
    N-No!
[19:50] ---
    He got Dai?!
[19:56] ---
    Dai!
[19:57] ---
    Dai!
[19:58] ---
    Dai!
[20:00] ---
    Dai!
[20:04] ---
    Dai!
[20:09] ---
    Dai!
[20:17] ---
    Th-This can't be happening!
[20:20] ---
    The Sword of Dai
    was supposed to be unrivaled!
[20:24] ---
    Come out, Dai!
[20:26] ---
    Get back here and fight back!
[20:30] ---
    H-He defeated the Hero!
[20:34] ---
    A clash between Orichalcum weapons
    means conditions are matched.
[20:39] ---
    In terms of physical strength,
    a Superior Being is more powerful.
[20:43] ---
    This is probably Hadlar's victory.
[20:47] ---
    It's no fair. He's hogging all the glory.
[20:58] ---
    Hadlar!
[21:00] ---
    See? Hadlar wins.
[21:26] ---
    A true Hero.
    I'd be disappointed otherwise.
[21:38] ---
    H-Hadlar, too?!
[21:40] ---
    I-It was a draw?!
[21:45] ---
    Myst, go see to Hadlar, will you?
[21:50] ---
    I...
[21:54] ---
    will take care of him.
[22:04] ---
    tatoe akuma ni seiron kazashite
    mukatte mitemo
[22:04] ---
    Even if you face the devil
    With logic on your side
[22:07] ---
    sore wa akumade seitouka
    sashite chigai wa naikamo
[22:07] ---
    It may just be a rationalization
[22:11] ---
    ima mo ima mo yureteiru kedo
[22:11] ---
    Even now, even now I waver
[22:15] ---
    bokura wa dokomade yukuno
[22:15] ---
    How far will we go?
[22:19] ---
    tenshi no sasayaki nimo nita
    koe ga kikoeta
[22:19] ---
    I heard a voice like an angel's whisper
[22:22] ---
    hatamata petenshi no mayakashi
    hitokiwa mimi ni hibiiteita
[22:22] ---
    Maybe it was an imposter's illusion
    It still rang in my ears
[22:26] ---
    ai ni hiai ni sarasare nagara
[22:26] ---
    Exposed to love and sorrow
[22:30] ---
    hokori mamire michi no tochu
[22:30] ---
    On the path strewn with pride
[22:36] ---
    kiete wa ukabu touhikou
[22:36] ---
    Fleeting moments of cowardice
[22:40] ---
    nomikonda SOS
[22:40] ---
    The SOS I held back
[22:44] ---
    furueru te wo nigirishimeta
[22:44] ---
    I clenched my trembling fist
[22:48] ---
    tatta hitotsu no chiisana yakusoku ga
[22:48] ---
    That single little promise
[22:53] ---
    honno sasaina omoidetachi ga
[22:53] ---
    Those trivial little memories
[22:57] ---
    itsumade tattemo kono mune wo
[22:57] ---
    They're still in my heart
[23:00] ---
    kogashi tsuzukeru tomoshibi ni naru
[23:00] ---
    As embers that keep me burning
[23:04] ---
    tada hitosuji no toumei na hikari ga
[23:04] ---
    A single transparent beam of light
[23:08] ---
    me no mae wo terashite yuku
[23:08] ---
    Lights the way before me
[23:11] ---
    boku ni dekiru koto wa ikutsu mo naisa
[23:11] ---
    There is little that I can do
[23:16] ---
    shinjinuita saki ni te ni shita mirai wo
    susunde yuke
[23:16] ---
    Just keep on to the future
    I managed to grasp through my faith
[23:34] ---
    Dai and Hadlar's fierce battle
    has ended in a draw.
[23:38] ---
    Wounded, Hadlar leaves the battlefield.
[23:40] ---
    Meanwhile, Dai remains missing
    after falling into the ocean.
[23:44] ---
    Left alone, Popp is hounded by Killvearn.
[23:48] ---
    Can Popp manage to survive?
[23:51] ---
    And what happened to Dai?
[23:53] ---
    DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,
[23:56] ---
    "The Hero Lost in the Glacier"*
[23:58] ---
    The adventure continues!
