    BATTLE OF TRUE DRAGONS
[02:06] ---
    What's going on?! What are they doing?!
[02:09] ---
    What does it look like?
    They're fighting a ferocious battle.
[02:13] ---
    Then Dai and Hadlar's clashes
    are causing this gust of heat?
[02:17] ---
    It's not just a gust.
    It's highly concentrated energy.
[02:21] ---
    They're completely in their own world.
[02:24] ---
    We escaped here before we got burned.
[02:28] ---
    What's going on?
    How does this sort of thing even happen?
[02:34] ---
    A Battle of True Dragons.
[02:36] ---
    -Oh?
    -What's that?
[02:38] ---
    You don't know?
[02:40] ---
    This is truly the Underworld's infamous
    Battle of True Dragons recreated.
[02:45] ---
    That sounds quite interesting.
[02:50] ---
    In the distant past...
[02:54] ---
    the two most powerful
    Dragons in the Underworld...

[03:00] ---
    finally decided to determine
    who was stronger.

[03:08] ---
    Velzar, the Abyss Dragon...
[03:12] ---
    and Vorikus, the Lightning Dragon.
[03:16] ---
    Evenly matched, the clash
    between the two was truly savage.

[03:23] ---
    Their Auras and flame breath
    and Magic Power collided,

[03:28] ---
    and the super-heated ground
    was laid waste.

[03:34] ---
    Their battle created
    a field so tempestuous

[03:39] ---
    it drained the life
    of any who stood in it.

[03:43] ---
    Those who approached were incinerated.
[03:48] ---
    In the end, this ultimate duel
    of pure power

[03:54] ---
    was won by Velzar.
[03:57] ---
    And he became the Abyss Dragon King.
[04:01] ---
    Since then, this battle is called
    the Battle of True Dragons,

[04:06] ---
    and is revered as
    the most intense duel in history.

[04:14] ---
    Pay close attention, Killvearn.
[04:17] ---
    This isn't something one sees every day.
[04:20] ---
    Only when both sides
    are extremely powerful and evenly matched
[04:26] ---
    does such a thing ever happen.
[04:30] ---
    To think that those two
    would show me such a battle.
[04:36] ---
    They're both fighting
    with all their might.
[04:39] ---
    That energy must be spilling over,
    creating that field around them.
[04:43] ---
    How can you be so calm?!
    Dai's like that and you're not helping?!
[04:53] ---
    As you can see,
    no one can approach those two.
[04:56] ---
    It's almost as though their will
    is keeping everyone at bay.
[05:01] ---
    At least I think so.
[05:03] ---
    Then why isn't Dai using his sword?!
[05:06] ---
    Hadlar isn't either.
[05:08] ---
    Ever since that heat field appeared,
    they've been fighting hand-to-hand.
[05:13] ---
    I think they both know
    that drawing their weapons...
[05:17] ---
    will signify the end of their duel.
[05:48] ---
    Dai!
[05:51] ---
    I'm not waiting!
    My Medroa can blow away any heat!
[05:56] ---
    I'll hit Hadlar with this!
[05:58] ---
    What are you doing?!
[05:59] ---
    Don't, Popp. This is their duel.
[06:02] ---
    This isn't the time for platitudes! Look!
[06:06] ---
    Just standing there
    is draining their stamina!
[06:09] ---
    Dai may be a Dragon Knight, but between
    little Dai and that huge Hadlar,
[06:15] ---
    it's obvious who has more!
[06:18] ---
    I don't care if anyone says it's unfair!
    I'm helping Dai!
[06:22] ---
    Wait, Popp!
[06:24] ---
    Not you too, Princess!
[06:26] ---
    Dai wants this duel.
    That why we shouldn't interfere.
[06:31] ---
    He's just naive.
[06:34] ---
    He should just ignore Hadlar's condition!
[06:37] ---
    Isn't his inability to
    what makes Dai our Dai?
[06:42] ---
    Our Dai?
[06:43] ---
    I've been thinking about it.
[06:47] ---
    About the power of Dai's soul.
[06:50] ---
    I thought it was Courage,
    but Courage is the power of your soul.
[06:55] ---
    Yeah... Right.
[06:58] ---
    In that case, what's his power?
[07:01] ---
    Perhaps Dai's power
    is that naivety you mentioned.
[07:07] ---
    Huh? How is that...?
[07:09] ---
    His kindness and innocence...
    That clarity of heart...
[07:14] ---
    Yes. His pure heart.
[07:19] ---
    Dai was raised on Dermline Island,
    an island of monsters.

[07:23] ---
    So he doesn't discriminate
    or hold any preconceptions of anyone.

[07:27] ---
    It allows him to treat everyone
    equally and naturally.

[07:32] ---
    Isn't that his greatest trait?
[07:35] ---
    It's what allowed us
    to all become friends.
[07:39] ---
    It allowed Hyunckel and Crocodine
    to become our allies.
[07:43] ---
    The reason we're all here now
    is thanks to the power of Dai's soul.
[07:50] ---
    So if Dai sensed anything within Hadlar
    that made him accept this duel,
[07:57] ---
    then it's our duty to respect that.
[08:02] ---
    At least that's what I think.
[08:13] ---
    What's wrong?!
[08:16] ---
    I can't beat him like this!
[08:19] ---
    I... I have to use
    my strongest attack against him!

[08:29] ---
    His sword!
[08:37] ---
    That's the face.
[08:39] ---
    Whenever you're about to do something
    unbelievable, you make that face.
[08:47] ---
    It's become my favorite face of yours.
[09:06] ---
    It's beginning. The final clash.
[09:10] ---
    The next attack will decide this battle.
[09:12] ---
    Don't make outlandish predictions!
    How can you tell that?!
[09:16] ---
    Because I think that field...
[09:21] ---
    The energy of that battlefield
    sides with the victor.
[09:26] ---
    Oh?
[09:29] ---
    That super-heated field
    that surrounds them
[09:33] ---
    is maintained because
    their energy is balanced.
[09:37] ---
    That keeps it at bay and makes it grow.
[09:41] ---
    Therefore, when that balance is tipped...
[09:46] ---
    all of that energy flows
    to the weaker side.
[09:51] ---
    The weaker side...
[09:53] ---
    In other words, the loser.
[09:56] ---
    That's the most dangerous part
    of the Battle of True Dragons.
[10:01] ---
    When the deciding blow is struck,
[10:04] ---
    all that accumulated energy
    flows to the side that is struck.
[10:12] ---
    The loser faces certain death.
[10:17] ---
    How scary.
    I'd never have a duel like that.
[10:22] ---
    Scary, scary!
[10:23] ---
    But, in this case,
    Dai's disadvantage grows.
[10:29] ---
    Hadlar's finishing attack
    will be his Ultra Combustion Slash.
[10:33] ---
    But as for Dai...
[10:36] ---
    his greatest attack is his Avan Strash
    used with his Draconic Aura or a spell.
[10:42] ---
    If Zapple is his strongest spell,
    then his Magic Sword is nothing to fear.
[10:49] ---
    Between Avan Strash and Ultra
    Combustion Slash, the outcome is obvious.
[10:55] ---
    That's not something he'd overlook.
[11:00] ---
    So what will he do?
[11:19] ---
    Avan Strash...
[11:26] ---
    TIGER SHATTER FIST
[11:31] ---
    AVAN STRASH
[11:37] ---
    Avan Strash... So that's your choice.
[11:42] ---
    The attack took my life once,
    and even after Avan's death,
[11:47] ---
    it was passed on to his successors.
[11:51] ---
    Indeed, it's the perfect attack
    to end this battle.
[11:59] ---
    But you can't win with an Avan Strash!
[12:03] ---
    Once you lose, this battlefield...
[12:07] ---
    I know! All of this heat will flow
    to whoever loses this clash!
[12:14] ---
    So you already realized.
[12:16] ---
    But I, no, Avan Strash won't lose!
[12:22] ---
    Because I developed this
    to fight Dark King Vearn!
[12:28] ---
    This is a new Avan Strash!
[12:31] ---
    What?!
[12:32] ---
    A new Strash?!
[12:34] ---
    It must be the new attack
    Dai developed in his training!
[12:37] ---
    I really wanted to save this
    until the fight with Vearn.
[12:41] ---
    But that'll be meaningless if I lose here!
[12:44] ---
    So I'm going to use it now!
[12:47] ---
    You're not one to try to
    bluff your way through a situation.
[12:52] ---
    Interesting! Then show me
    this new Avan Strash of yours!
[12:58] ---
    If it's just some silly attack
    then my mighty strike will shatter it!
[13:08] ---
    Oh no! Get farther away!
[13:10] ---
    Don't be ridiculous!
    We can't leave at a time like this!
[13:14] ---
    Then at least get down!
[13:34] ---
    Here goes, Hadlar!
[13:37] ---
    His stance is the same.
[13:40] ---
    It's slightly deeper than usual.
[13:43] ---
    Avan Strash Arrow!
[13:48] ---
    That's his new Strash?!
[13:49] ---
    It's a normal Strash!
[13:52] ---
    What is this?! What makes this an arrow?!
[13:56] ---
    It's merely a breeze compared to
    my Ultra Combustion Slash!

[14:02] ---
    I'll blow it away!
[14:04] ---
    Now!
[14:05] ---
    Avan Strash Break!
[14:11] ---
    What?!
[14:14] ---
    He's catching up...
[14:16] ---
    ...with the first Strash!
[14:23] ---
    Avan Strash...
[14:28] ---
    Cross!
[14:44] ---
    That's Dai!
    Dai used his new super attack!
[15:04] ---
    The Battle of True Dragons
    has been decided.
[15:09] ---
    He won! Dai won!
[15:12] ---
    Did you see that?!
    That unbelievably powerful new Strash!
[15:17] ---
    So that's the new super attack
    that Dai created.
[15:21] ---
    Avan Strash... Cross.
[15:24] ---
    I see. Avan Strash has the Arrow Type
    where you launch Aura,
[15:29] ---
    and the Break Type where you
    charge the target.
[15:33] ---
    But to combine the two...
[15:35] ---
    Combine the two?
[15:37] ---
    What do you mean, Hyunckel?
[15:38] ---
    I mean he catches up to his Arrow Type
    with his Break Type,
[15:42] ---
    and detonates both Strashes simultaneously
    at the moment of impact.

[15:47] ---
    The upward impact of the Arrow Type
    and the downward impact of the Break Type

[15:53] ---
    cross at the enemy's chest.
[15:55] ---
    The overlapping force is probably
    over five times that of a normal Strash.
[16:01] ---
    Over five times?!
[16:03] ---
    But to time the impact
    of the two attacks perfectly
[16:07] ---
    requires unbelievable instincts.
[16:10] ---
    To predict an enemy's movements
    and time two attacks is beyond even me.
[16:15] ---
    It's a super attack only Dai can pull off!
[16:18] ---
    A super attack!
[16:21] ---
    But it looks like
    Dai has spent all his Aura.
[16:26] ---
    Hadlar's finished, isn't he?
[16:29] ---
    Yeah. It seems so.
[16:31] ---
    That tremendous energy
    that surrounded them...
[16:34] ---
    the fact that it's gone means
    it hit him with that Strash Cross.
[16:40] ---
    Dai! Well done!
[16:48] ---
    Dai! He's still...!
[16:54] ---
    It's his will!
[16:56] ---
    Dai!
[17:07] ---
    Dai!
[17:07] ---
    Unbelievable! Hadlar shouldn't have
    a shred of Aura left!
[17:13] ---
    All of their Aura
    were blown away in that clash!
[17:17] ---
    Where does he get that strength?!
[17:26] ---
    A Life Blade?!
[17:28] ---
    What?!
[17:29] ---
    Hadlar is converting his own life
    and making it his sword!
[17:34] ---
    Even though he knows what it'll cost him!
[17:37] ---
    Dai!
[17:40] ---
    Dai!
[17:42] ---
    They were all defeated... My Royal Guard.
[17:48] ---
    Hym... Albinass... Sigma...
[17:52] ---
    You've all done well.
[17:54] ---
    I will join you all soon.
[18:00] ---
    In retrospect, the Six Legion Commanders
    of the Dark Army were all mighty.

[18:06] ---
    But they couldn't defeat
    Dai and his friends.

[18:10] ---
    It's because, as their commander, I had
    nothing but greed and self-preservation.

[18:23] ---
    The fact that you all came together
    and risked your lives for me

[18:28] ---
    feels like the greatest proof
    that I was able to reach great heights.

[18:35] ---
    In the very end, I was blessed
    by my servants.

[18:43] ---
    Now it's time!
[18:45] ---
    I shall answer your loyalty
    with this strike!
[18:50] ---
    Oh no! It feels like Hadlar's will
    is totally overpowering Dai's!

[18:56] ---
    Getting hit by that super attack
    wasn't enough to defeat him!

[19:01] ---
    I can tell that this strike contains
    the will of the Royal Guard, too!

[19:06] ---
    If we get hit, it'll all be over!
[19:08] ---
    Dai, I'll...
[19:09] ---
    Don't, Popp!
[19:13] ---
    I won't forgive anyone
    who helps me here! Not even you!
[19:21] ---
    This battle...
[19:23] ---
    For just this battle...
[19:26] ---
    I need you to let me fight alone!
[19:31] ---
    D-Don't be stupid!
[19:33] ---
    You don't have that sort of strength left!
[19:37] ---
    That last attack used up all of your Aura!
[19:42] ---
    But look!
[19:58] ---
    Hadlar is using the remaining
    bit of his life for one final attack!
[20:05] ---
    It contains his will and
    the unfulfilled wishes of the Royal Guard!
[20:10] ---
    You can't win with any normal attack!
[20:16] ---
    And with all of your Aura spent,
    you can't use Strash Cross either!
[20:23] ---
    That's enough!
    Just leave the rest to us, Dai!
[20:28] ---
    I still have...
[20:31] ---
    one attack I want to try.
[20:34] ---
    Besides, Hadlar's not the only one...
[20:38] ---
    carrying the wishes
    of his friends as he fights!
[20:44] ---
    Everyone's always with me!
[20:46] ---
    Master and Grampa and Dad, too!
[20:50] ---
    I won't lose!
[20:52] ---
    I'm going to prove their belief in me!
[20:57] ---
    That's why...
[20:59] ---
    I can't lose to Hadlar here!
[21:13] ---
    I really am just a coward.
[21:16] ---
    Why couldn't I believe
    in someone this strong?!

[21:26] ---
    You've spoken well!
[21:30] ---
    But what can you do?!
[21:33] ---
    You barely have any Aura left!
[21:36] ---
    I can do this!
[21:39] ---
    Zapple!
[22:07] ---
    To be honest I was clumsy
[22:07] ---
    omoeba boku wa bukiyou de
[22:12] ---
    And it took me forever to get here
[22:12] ---
    shouganaikurai tomawarishita
[22:18] ---
    I used even loneliness as a weapon
[22:18] ---
    kodokukannsura mo buki ni shite
[22:24] ---
    I searched the dungeon for a simple answer
[22:24] ---
    tannjun na kotae wo sagashita dannjon
[22:30] ---
    Even if I cast aside
    Rightness and kindness

[22:30] ---

[22:35] ---
    I just want to be there for you

    To call out your name

[22:47] ---
    Is harder than any magic spell

[23:05] ---
    To call out your name

    Must be the reason I was born

    I shake off the clinging night

    Right now to where you are
[23:25] ---
    ima sugu kimi no moto e
[23:33] ---
    Dai won the Battle of True Dragons.
[23:36] ---
    But Hadlar rose again
    through sheer force of will.

[23:39] ---
    With the wishes of the fallen Royal Guard
    Hadlar readies a mighty attack.

[23:45] ---
    Against him, Dai readies his Magic Sword.
[23:48] ---
    With his Aura spent,
    can Dai defeat Hadlar?
