    THE HADLAR ROYAL GUARD
[01:54] ---
    That was pretty rough.
[01:57] ---
    Hey, you're the first honorable member
    of the Beast King Commandos!
[02:01] ---
    You're a Terrordactyl...
[02:03] ---
    But that's too long,
    so I'll call you "Terry!"
[02:08] ---
    Yup, yup.
[02:10] ---
    Hm?
[02:15] ---
    Uh...
[02:17] ---
    You look like you want to join.
[02:22] ---
    Then you'll have to
    idolize me as your leader!
[02:25] ---
    Got it?
[02:29] ---
    Is that a fire?
[02:33] ---
    No, our objective is to the north!
[02:43] ---
    My name is Nova.
[02:46] ---
    They call me the Hero of the North.
[02:49] ---
    What?!
[02:52] ---
    The Hero of the North?
[02:57] ---
    I'll go rescue Zababa with my Zoom spell.
[03:00] ---
    I don't need the help of
    a bunch of amateurs.
[03:08] ---
    What?! Do you know who we are?!
[03:11] ---
    The self-proclaimed "Heroes"
    from Papnica, right?
[03:17] ---
    W-Why you...!
[03:18] ---
    That's enough, Nova!
[03:21] ---
    What is it, Dad?
[03:24] ---
    Dad?!
[03:25] ---
    Please excuse him.
[03:27] ---
    Nova is my son,
    and Captain of the Knights of Ringaia.
[03:34] ---
    Nova, you disrespect the Hero
    and his friends!
[03:38] ---
    What's wrong with stating the truth?
[03:41] ---
    Besides, I can't stand everybody
    calling themselves Heroes.
[03:46] ---
    There's only one true Hero
    that the world needs to respect!
[03:54] ---
    You bastard! That's our line!
[03:57] ---
    Wait, Popp!
[03:59] ---
    Don't stop me, Dai!
[04:01] ---
    This isn't the time for that!
[04:09] ---
    Will you take us to Zababa with you?
[04:12] ---
    It's better if we all fight together!
[04:15] ---
    I see. You must be Dai.
[04:18] ---
    Yeah.
[04:28] ---
    Huh?!
[04:35] ---
    That's... an Aura Shot!
[04:38] ---
    And he's pretty adept at it!
[04:43] ---
    No thanks. I'll be going alone.
[04:48] ---
    I'd heard the rumors...
[04:50] ---
    but knowing I was being compared
    to a shrimp like you irritates me.
[04:56] ---
    I'll protect everyone.
[04:59] ---
    Zoom!
[05:01] ---
    Wait, Nova!
[05:03] ---
    Get back here!
[05:08] ---
    That snotty little...!
[05:10] ---
    What a hopelessly selfish Hero.
[05:14] ---
    Please forgive me.
[05:15] ---
    I tried to raise him strictly,
[05:18] ---
    but recently, he won't even listen to me.
[05:22] ---
    Talk about overconfident!
[05:24] ---
    Our Ringaia Army was dispatched to Orzam
    to help them from being wiped out.
[05:31] ---
    During that time, the Dark Army
    destroyed our homeland.
[05:36] ---
    He still believes he could have
    saved Ringaia had he been here.
[05:44] ---
    Baran was the one who destroyed Ringaia.
[05:47] ---
    Even if that boy had been there...
[05:50] ---
    Guys like that don't learn
    until they get hurt!
[05:54] ---
    But it's too dangerous
    for him to go alone!
[05:57] ---
    He already went off alone!
[06:01] ---
    It's true he's arrogant
    and quite self-centered...
[06:06] ---
    but rescuing the port is more important!
[06:11] ---
    Let's go! Leona's right!
[06:14] ---
    Didn't he make you mad?
[06:16] ---
    Who cares who's a Hero and who's not?
[06:20] ---
    Huh?!
[06:21] ---
    It's better to have more strong allies.
[06:24] ---
    It doesn't matter if there happen to be
    two, three, or even a hundred Heroes!
[06:32] ---
    It looks like Dai wins this argument!
[06:35] ---
    Honestly, the way your mind works
    never ceases to amaze with its simplicity!
[06:42] ---
    Let's go!
[06:43] ---
    Okay!
[06:47] ---
    Dai and I will go ahead
    using Levizoom spells!
[06:49] ---
    Everybody follow after!
[06:51] ---
    Got it!
[06:52] ---
    Wait, Popp!
[06:54] ---
    I have clothes for you
    made from the same material as Dai's.
[06:59] ---
    Thanks, but we're in a hurry, Princess.
[07:02] ---
    Plus, am I supposed to strip here?
[07:05] ---
    It's a type of outerwear,
    so just wear it over your clothes!
[07:09] ---
    Huh.
[07:10] ---
    Dai.
[07:12] ---
    I'm sorry. Please look after my son.
[07:15] ---
    Okay!
[07:46] ---
    Oh? Another punching bag to play with?
[07:50] ---
    When will the real Hero
    and his friends come?
[07:55] ---
    I guess you need your eyes checked!
[07:58] ---
    What?
[07:59] ---
    The real one is right here.
[08:02] ---
    The real one?
[08:04] ---
    Sir Nova!
[08:06] ---
    Please run!
[08:08] ---
    Th-That's right! Wait until Dai gets here!
[08:14] ---
    Your friend's right.
[08:16] ---
    If you're going to fight, shouldn't you
    wait until Dai, the Hero arrives?
[08:22] ---
    Well?
[08:28] ---
    This stuff is amazing!
[08:30] ---
    It's so thin yet still
    as tough as Dai's clothes!
[08:34] ---
    Hey! Wait up!
[08:36] ---
    I just learned how to use Levizoom
    without my crest!
[08:42] ---
    If you insist.
[08:47] ---
    Oh well.
[08:49] ---
    Recently, your power's been increasing
    like you're some kind of beast.
[08:54] ---
    It feels nice to still be
    better than you at something.
[08:58] ---
    Beast is a bit much.
[09:04] ---
    Don't make me repeat myself!
[09:09] ---
    I, Nova, am the true Hero! Not Dai!
[09:14] ---
    All everybody talks about is Dai...
[09:16] ---
    What's so great about him?!
[09:20] ---
    Stay back, everybody.
[09:23] ---
    Overconfident fools like him...
[09:26] ---
    need a little lesson from me.
[09:46] ---
    I guess you haven't heard
    that we're made of Orichalcum.
[09:52] ---
    I see.
[09:54] ---
    Unfortunately, breaking my sword
    doesn't hinder my killer attack at all!
[09:59] ---
    What?!
[10:09] ---
    That's...
[10:11] ---
    Hmm.
[10:13] ---
    Aura Blade!
[10:17] ---
    No matter how tough Orichalcum is,
    it will break against a greater force!
[10:23] ---
    My sword of Aura is much sharper
    than even a legendary weapon!
[10:31] ---
    There they are!
[10:32] ---
    Nova's still alright!
[10:36] ---
    They're finally here.
[10:38] ---
    Nova!
[10:39] ---
    Shut up and back off!
[10:40] ---
    But...!
[10:41] ---
    His Aura is amazing!
[10:43] ---
    He just might...
[10:46] ---
    I said to stay back.
[10:49] ---
    Come on.
[10:50] ---
    Die, you piece of scrap!
[11:00] ---
    Northern...
[11:03] ---
    Grand...
[11:07] ---
    Blade!
[11:23] ---
    Hey! He actually did it!
[11:26] ---
    No...
[11:33] ---
    That actually hurt!
[11:35] ---
    I guess for a human, this would be like
    banging your head on a corner!
[11:57] ---
    Not bad.
[11:59] ---
    For a preliminary fight...
[12:05] ---
    that was fun.
[12:09] ---
    CRACKLE
    ICE-TYPE SPELL
[12:14] ---
    ULTRA COMBUSTION SLASH
[12:22] ---
    No...
[12:24] ---
    Impossible! He's not hurt?!
[12:28] ---
    That should have damaged him,
    no matter how tough he is!
[12:33] ---
    It's very simple.
[12:36] ---
    Even when you humans
    focus with your frail bodies,
[12:40] ---
    you can increase your defensive power.
[12:44] ---
    I merely did the same thing.
[12:46] ---
    I already knew you would aim for my head.
[12:49] ---
    If I just focus all my power here,
    I can withstand an attack like that.
[12:56] ---
    They're strong!
[12:57] ---
    They're unlike any enemy
    we've faced before!
[13:01] ---
    One thing is clear.
[13:03] ---
    They're not strong only because
    they're made of Orichalcum!
[13:07] ---
    They're true pieces of battle!
[13:09] ---
    They're born to fight. All they know
    is combat... They're weapons of war.
[13:14] ---
    They're all born geniuses of battle!
[13:19] ---
    Damn it!
[13:20] ---
    Wait, Nova!
[13:21] ---
    Don't touch me!
[13:23] ---
    I'm stronger than this!
[13:25] ---
    My next attack...!
[13:26] ---
    Knock it off!
[13:27] ---
    You're strong enough to know
    how dangerous they are!
[13:33] ---
    He's right.
[13:35] ---
    Work with us!
[13:37] ---
    No!
[13:38] ---
    What?!
[13:39] ---
    As the Hero of the North...
[13:41] ---
    I shall defeat them with my own power!
[13:44] ---
    Look around you!
[13:54] ---
    They all need help!
[13:56] ---
    Isn't protecting friends
    what a Hero is supposed to do?!
[14:01] ---
    Defeating the enemy
    will protect them sooner!
[14:04] ---
    That's not being a Hero!
[14:05] ---
    Shut up!
[14:08] ---
    Nova!
[14:10] ---
    I won't...
[14:11] ---
    I won't let you lecture me
    about being a Hero!
[14:22] ---
    Needle...
[14:26] ---
    Thousand.
[14:34] ---
    Nova!
[14:39] ---
    Needle Thousand.
[14:41] ---
    You used it on an enemy that weak?
[14:45] ---
    It would be an insult
    to have our guest of honor wait.
[14:49] ---
    Allow me a belated introduction.
[14:54] ---
    We are Dark Commander Hadlar's
    loyal servants.
[14:58] ---
    The Hadlar Royal Guard.
[15:01] ---
    I am the queen and leader, Albinass.
[15:07] ---
    I'm the pawn, Hym.
    You remember me, don't you?
[15:11] ---
    I am the knight who races across
    the battlefield, Sigma.
[15:16] ---
    Remember me.
[15:18] ---
    My name is Fenbren.
[15:19] ---
    I am the Bishop of the Royal Guard,
    and the perfect hunter.
[15:28] ---
    What's that?!
[15:30] ---
    And there's one more.
[15:41] ---
    The ship...
[15:42] ---
    is on land?!
[15:48] ---
    He is the rook, Block.
[15:52] ---
    He does not speak,
    so I shall introduce him.
[15:57] ---
    Block, that ship is important to them!
[16:01] ---
    Give it back!
[16:03] ---
    You mean...?!
[16:10] ---
    Everybody run!
[16:24] ---
    The cannons' gunpowder must have ignited.
[16:30] ---
    Darn it!
[16:32] ---
    Dai, this could actually be our chance!
[16:35] ---
    While this smoke is hiding us,
[16:39] ---
    I'll use my Extreme Spell to finish this!
[16:42] ---
    Extreme Spell?!
[16:44] ---
    Yeah!
[16:46] ---
    An ambush for an ambush!
[16:48] ---
    Before they can reveal their power,
[16:50] ---
    I'll annihilate them all with my Medroa!
[16:58] ---
    Popp, what is that?!
[17:00] ---
    I'm going to fabricate Magic Power that'll
    annihilate our enemies in an instant!
[17:06] ---
    This thing packs a punch!
[17:10] ---
    Sweet! My clothes don't burn!
[17:17] ---
    An arrow of light?! That's amazing!
[17:20] ---
    I'll explain it later!
    After I blow them away!
[17:26] ---
    They're not coming out. Are they dead?
[17:29] ---
    Unlikely. That was hardly
    enough to kill them.
[17:32] ---
    I guess I'll drag them out.
[17:37] ---
    Sorry. I still haven't memorized
    your names and faces.
[17:42] ---
    I'll end it with this!
[17:46] ---
    Take this!
[17:46] ---
    Not yet!
[17:48] ---
    Nova?!
[17:49] ---
    Not yet! I haven't been beaten yet!
[17:53] ---
    Don't! Normal spells won't work on them!
[17:55] ---
    Magic may not work,
    but they should be momentarily frozen!
[17:59] ---
    If I attack in that moment...!
[18:01] ---
    Kacrackle!
[18:08] ---
    Now!
[18:24] ---
    Popp!
[18:37] ---
    That was an impressive spell.
[18:39] ---
    Darn it!
[18:40] ---
    Oh no! One of them can reflect spells!
[18:44] ---
    Indeed.
[18:45] ---
    This Mirror of Shahal is the ultimate item
    that can reflect any spell that hits it.
[18:52] ---
    And at the same time...
[18:55] ---
    it is the ultimate shield.
[18:58] ---
    This is bad!
[19:00] ---
    Listen up, Popp.
[19:02] ---
    There's one thing I have to warn you
    about using Medroa.
[19:06] ---
    Watch out for counters.
[19:09] ---
    Counters?
[19:10] ---
    The spell Bounce can reflect a spell
    back at its caster.
[19:16] ---
    There are also legendary weapons
    that have the same ability.
[19:21] ---
    If the enemy has one, it's game over.
[19:24] ---
    You'll be the ones wiped out.
[19:26] ---
    It's why I was too scared to use it
    back in the day.
[19:30] ---
    I'm fine dying from my own mistake,
[19:33] ---
    but I couldn't stand it
    if it took out my friends too.
[19:37] ---
    I get it. Being too powerful
    is this spell's greatest weakness.
[19:46] ---
    Now I can't use Medroa against them...
[19:49] ---
    But it's a silver lining.
[19:52] ---
    If Nova hadn't interrupted me,
    we'd be annihilated.
[19:56] ---
    Wait! Where's Nova?!
[20:05] ---
    Nova!
[20:05] ---
    When did you grab him?!
[20:07] ---
    Darn it!
[20:10] ---
    Dai...
[20:13] ---
    It looks like...
    you were right... after all.
[20:22] ---
    I guess I'm not...
    a real... Hero.
[20:29] ---
    No Hero would be... this pathetic.
[20:35] ---
    Damn it...
[20:39] ---
    Damn it!
[20:41] ---
    Nova!
[20:43] ---
    I guess this was a good lesson.
[20:47] ---
    Your whole body is frozen.
[20:50] ---
    One punch and I can shatter you...
[20:53] ---
    like powdered snow.
[20:55] ---
    Don't!
[20:56] ---
    You cruel bastard!
[20:58] ---
    You're wrong!
[21:00] ---
    I know how he feels all too well!
[21:04] ---
    There are those of us
[21:06] ---
    who would rather die beautifully,
    than to live in disgrace.
[21:11] ---
    Right?
[21:12] ---
    Darn it!
[21:14] ---
    Here's a lesson to take with you.
[21:17] ---
    In this world,
    there's always someone stronger.
[21:21] ---
    Well... goodbye!
[21:24] ---
    Nova!
[21:25] ---
    At least die gloriously, you loser!
[21:30] ---
    No!
[21:42] ---
    You talk too much.
[21:45] ---
    But you were right about one thing.
[21:48] ---
    There's always someone stronger!
[21:54] ---
    Hyunckel!
[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
[22:43] ---
    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] ---
