    RETURN OF THE GREAT HERO
[02:03] ---
    Hadlar...
[02:05] ---
    Hadlar.
[02:07] ---
    In your last moments, you were one of us.
[02:11] ---
    You were...
[02:13] ---
    our friend.
[02:15] ---
    Up you go!
[02:25] ---
    I see you've matured well, Popp.
    It's been quite a while.
[02:32] ---
    Sh-Shut up!
[02:33] ---
    Oh my.
[02:34] ---
    You're not... You can't be Master!
[02:37] ---
    The real Master wouldn't
    suddenly return after all this time!
[02:41] ---
    This is a dream or an illusion
    or that dirty Zaboera in disguise again!
[02:46] ---
    That's not possible, Popp!
[02:50] ---
    That's a Magic Circle of light.
[02:53] ---
    Even a perfectly disguised
    dark sorcerer couldn't cast it!
[03:01] ---
    Then, Leona, is that...?!
[03:04] ---
    Is... Is it really?!
[03:19] ---
    Then...
[03:21] ---
    That's right.
[03:22] ---
    Forgive me for
    causing you all such concern.
[03:26] ---
    I am neither ghost
    nor imposter nor illusion.
[03:31] ---
    And obviously not an identical stranger.
[03:34] ---
    It's really the real me.
[03:37] ---
    Master Avan!
[03:38] ---
    Master Avan!
[03:41] ---
    Master!
[03:42] ---
    Master!
[03:56] ---
    Howl, Inferno!
[04:20] ---
    Take this! Northern Grand Blade!
[04:29] ---
    Is something wrong, Queen Flora?
[04:32] ---
    I sensed something...
[04:34] ---
    up there.
[04:39] ---
    -Master!
    -Master!
[04:41] ---
    Master!
[04:44] ---
    Dai.
[04:45] ---
    Maam.
[04:47] ---
    Popp.
[04:49] ---
    Master!
[04:50] ---
    Oh my! My good clothes!
[04:53] ---
    I can't help it!
    I just wanna hug you right now!
[04:58] ---
    That's it! Down you go!
[05:02] ---
    Popp, I sensed your Magic Power
    from a long distance.
[05:07] ---
    Your power was most impressive.
[05:10] ---
    I've grown a lot, you know!
[05:13] ---
    Master!
[05:14] ---
    Those clothes... I never expected you
    to become a Martial Artist, Maam.
[05:21] ---
    Dai.
[05:23] ---
    You have truly become an impressive Hero.
[05:28] ---
    You all have changed so much.
[05:32] ---
    Even without me,
    through your own strength,
[05:36] ---
    to see you all come so far
    makes me sincerely proud.
[05:42] ---
    And...
[05:50] ---
    Hyunckel.
[05:54] ---
    Hyunckel.
[05:56] ---
    I know you've devoted yourself
    to a never-ending battle.
[05:59] ---
    But you're allowed to express
    your honest emotions sometimes.
[06:04] ---
    These are... my honest emotions, Princess.
[06:10] ---
    I suppose this is what it means...
[06:15] ---
    to be unable to show one's face.
[06:18] ---
    Bartos was the strongest knight
    of the Dark Army...
[06:22] ---
    and my father!
[06:25] ---
    The malice you sense in my blade is
    my hatred towards you, my father's killer!
[06:31] ---
    Wait, Hyunckel!
[06:36] ---
    Not all students of Avan
    respect their teacher and love justice.
[06:42] ---
    Some of them love violence
    and have embraced the darkness.
[06:47] ---
    After seeing just how weak...
[06:49] ---
    justice really is!
[06:51] ---
    But...!
[06:53] ---
    I am Hyunckel!
[06:56] ---
    One of the Six Legion Commanders
    of the Dark Army!
[06:58] ---
    Hyunckel, the Undead Legion Commander!
[07:06] ---
    I don't deserve your forgiveness.
[07:14] ---
    Hey, I bet this is our chance
    to see Hyunckel be all weepy!
[07:21] ---
    It's a rare sight!
[07:23] ---
    Popp, don't be like that!
[07:26] ---
    Can anyone blame me?
[07:28] ---
    Huh?!
[07:30] ---
    Let him be for now.
[07:32] ---
    Master, Hyunckel was...
[07:35] ---
    It's alright. You don't need to explain.
[07:42] ---
    Hyunckel.
[07:44] ---
    You're here now,
    giving your strength to help the others.

[07:49] ---
    That alone brings me...
[07:52] ---
    It brings me great joy.
[07:56] ---
    Master Avan.
[07:58] ---
    Princess Leona. You're here, too?
[08:04] ---
    I was given this by Queen Flora.
[08:08] ---
    I see. If she deemed you worthy,
    then I trust her judgement.
[08:14] ---
    Master Avan, please explain.
[08:18] ---
    How did you come back after dying?
[08:24] ---
    I was told you died on Dermline Island
    during your battle with Hadlar.
[08:30] ---
    Back then, Master...
[08:40] ---
    A spell?! Impossible!
[08:43] ---
    You should be out of Magic Power!
[08:46] ---
    This spell requires
    very little Magic Power.
[08:49] ---
    Instead, it turns life energy
    into explosive power to defeat enemies!
[08:56] ---
    Wait! This spell is...!
[09:01] ---
    Stop! Don't do it!
[09:05] ---
    Popp, Dai! I leave the rest to you!
[09:10] ---
    Stop!
[09:17] ---
    Megante!
[09:26] ---
    That's right.
[09:27] ---
    Master tried to protect us...
[09:31] ---
    ...and cast Megante.
[09:34] ---
    If anyone other than a Priest
    casts Megante,
[09:37] ---
    their body is obliterated
    and they can't be resurrected.
[09:50] ---
    I don't mean to doubt you...
[09:53] ---
    but please tell us what happened.
[09:57] ---
    Well...
[09:59] ---
    it's very simple.
[10:01] ---
    I never really died!
[10:03] ---
    What?!
[10:13] ---
    PUFF
    FIRE DRAGON TRANSFORMATION SPELL
[10:18] ---
    REAPER FLUTE
[10:26] ---
    I've been alive this whole time.
[10:32] ---
    B-But, back there...
[10:35] ---
    I didn't die.
[10:37] ---
    But we saw you...
[10:38] ---
    I didn't die.
[10:40] ---
    I was told you died!
[10:42] ---
    I didn't die!
[10:47] ---
    W-Wait just a minute.
[10:50] ---
    How is that even possible?
[10:53] ---
    Like yourself, I too was given
    something by Queen Flora.
[11:00] ---
    This... is what saved my life.
[11:04] ---
    This is...
[11:06] ---
    This is the Amulet of Carl.
[11:09] ---
    Take this as well.
[11:11] ---
    It's the Amulet of Carl
    that's passed down in the royal family.
[11:16] ---
    I'm sure it will help you someday.
[11:19] ---
    Back when I went to face Dark Lord Hadlar,
[11:23] ---
    Queen Flora gave me this treasure
    of her royal family.

[11:27] ---
    Megante!
[11:33] ---
    In the explosion from my Megante spell,
[11:37] ---
    this was damaged in my stead.
[11:54] ---
    It's basically a kind of protection item.
[12:00] ---
    As a result, I managed to survive,
    though only barely.
[12:10] ---
    Then...
[12:11] ---
    Then why didn't you show up
    to help before now, Master?!
[12:16] ---
    We risked our lives to fight
    because we believed you had died!
[12:21] ---
    Are you saying
    you knew this whole time and did nothing?!
[12:25] ---
    That's right! Do you know how much
    I grieved when I heard you'd died?!
[12:31] ---
    We all fought desperately for you!
[12:40] ---
    There must be some reason, right Master?
[12:44] ---
    It's because...
[12:58] ---
    Everyone, I will explain in due time.
[13:01] ---
    But first...
[13:03] ---
    I want you all to run
    to the central palace as fast as you can!
[13:09] ---
    Huh?!
[13:14] ---
    Why do we have to race
    at a time like this?!
[13:18] ---
    Just answer the question and...
[13:20] ---
    Shut up!
[13:23] ---
    All I have to say right now is this.
[13:26] ---
    Trust me when I tell you that I am here
    to defeat the Dark King like all of you.
[13:33] ---
    That is all.
[13:35] ---
    I am no longer your Master.
[13:39] ---
    I am a new ally who will fight with you.
[14:00] ---
    W-Wait a minute!
[14:03] ---
    I-I haven't regained the stamina...
[14:14] ---
    Thank you, everyone.
[14:22] ---
    Oh my. You seem alright.
[14:26] ---
    Unfortunately for you, I'm quite immortal.
[14:29] ---
    Immortal! Immortal!
[14:31] ---
    Piercing my heart
    isn't nearly enough to kill me.
[14:35] ---
    I was interrupted earlier
    by Hadlar in his dying moments
[14:40] ---
    but I won't be stopped again.
[14:44] ---
    I'll be sure to kill you!
[14:46] ---
    My instincts tell me that
    I can't afford to let you live.
[14:54] ---
    Go ahead... if you can.
[15:05] ---
    Why did Master suddenly
    tell us to run to the palace?
[15:09] ---
    How should we know?
[15:11] ---
    But if Master says to run,
    we obey and run.
[15:15] ---
    It may seem meaningless or unimportant,
    but there's always a reason for it.
[15:21] ---
    That's always been Master Avan's style.
[15:26] ---
    Go ahead if I can, you say?
[15:31] ---
    You knew I was alive,
    yet you sent the others off regardless.
[15:36] ---
    You seem to be quite confident.
[15:39] ---
    That sort of attitude will cost you.
[15:44] ---
    You impressed me by thwarting
    my Nine of Diamonds,
[15:49] ---
    but that wasn't my only Kill Trap.
[15:52] ---
    The others won't be able to
    proceed unharmed.
[15:58] ---
    Besides...
[15:59] ---
    no matter what powerful spells you have,
    I doubt you can do anything now.
[16:07] ---
    Mr. Reaper... or whatever they call you...
[16:11] ---
    do those Kill Traps of yours activate
    automatically when someone snares them?
[16:18] ---
    Those sorts of traps tend to be activated
    by the creator's Magic Power.
[16:25] ---
    But your hands appear full at the moment.
[16:28] ---
    Y-You...!
[16:30] ---
    Was this your plan all along?!
[16:33] ---
    By keeping me here, all the Kill Traps
    to King Vearn's palace won't activate!
[16:40] ---
    That's why you sent them ahead!
[16:44] ---
    You're quite sharp.
[16:47] ---
    You're more dangerous than I thought.
[16:50] ---
    Enough chit chat. It's time to die.
[16:55] ---
    After that, I'll wipe out the others
    with new Kill Traps.
[17:01] ---
    Most of my Kill Traps
    are in the palace anyways.
[17:05] ---
    Oh? That's useful information.
[17:09] ---
    I'll keep that in mind down the road.
[17:12] ---
    Enough!
[17:16] ---
    W-What?
[17:18] ---
    You can't move?!
[17:22] ---
    I don't need a shave, thank you.
[17:24] ---
    I already had one before I came here.
[17:28] ---
    W-Why?!
[17:30] ---
    My arm, no, half my body won't move!
[17:35] ---
    W-Where did this feather come from?!
[17:38] ---
    When you first fell,
[17:41] ---
    I still sensed malice,
    so I took precautions.
[17:50] ---
    How does it feel to be caught
    in a magical trap yourself?
[17:57] ---
    Hadlar was once a cruel man.
[18:01] ---
    He did terrible things to people.
[18:04] ---
    But he always did it himself.
[18:09] ---
    When fighting me,
    he always came forward to fight.
[18:14] ---
    But you are far lower than that!
[18:19] ---
    You sit back and enjoy watching
    the people you trap suffer!
[18:26] ---
    You're lower than cruel, you're barbaric!
[18:32] ---
    A warrior takes pride...
[18:34] ---
    in upholding the basic rules of fighting.
[18:38] ---
    At least Hadlar understood that!
[18:41] ---
    With this blow, feel the anger
    of his departed soul!
[18:59] ---
    Remember this.
[19:01] ---
    Though I don't enjoy using it,
    I'm also well versed in such spellcraft.
[19:08] ---
    If you continue using such dirty traps
    against us, I will fight back in kind.
[19:14] ---
    I will not forgive you!
[19:27] ---
    And you would be wise to remember this.
[19:34] ---
    I am going to kill you!
[19:38] ---
    I swear... I swear I will kill you
    with my own hands!
[19:44] ---
    I swear it!
[19:58] ---
    He's gone.
[20:00] ---
    And now.
[20:16] ---
    So King Vearn is in here.
[20:19] ---
    W-Whoa. It's even
    more impressive up close.
[20:25] ---
    You're right.
[20:26] ---
    Wow. It's quite big, isn't it?
[20:33] ---
    M-Master?! Where did you come from?!
[20:37] ---
    We ran here at top speed!
[20:41] ---
    Actually, I was just a step
    behind you the whole time!
[20:45] ---
    He's lying.
[20:47] ---
    I never sensed him behind us.
[20:51] ---
    I know he remained back there for a while.
[20:55] ---
    I used my new skill,
    Sneaky Step Stealthy Step Avan Step.
[21:02] ---
    What the hell is that?!
[21:04] ---
    Why not Sneaky Step
    Stealthy Step Popp Step?
[21:08] ---
    I guess if you used it,
    you could call it that.
[21:11] ---
    Something about him
    is different from before.

[21:15] ---
    It's like he possesses
    a completely different power.

[21:23] ---
    That glow...
[21:27] ---
    I get it! So that's it!
[21:30] ---
    This man...
[21:31] ---
    And now, everyone, for your next task...
[21:34] ---
    Enough.
[21:36] ---
    Huh?
[21:41] ---
    I can see the extent of your power.
[21:44] ---
    Hyunckel... the extent of my power?
[21:49] ---
    You're weak.
[21:50] ---
    Far too weak!
[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
[22:19] ---
    I used even loneliness as a weapon
[22:19] ---
    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] ---
    tadashisa yasashisa nagedashite mo
[22:35] ---
    I just want to be there for you
[22:35] ---
    tada hitori kimi no mikata de itai
[22:42] ---
    To call out your name
[22:42] ---
    kimi no namae wo yobu koto ga
[22:47] ---
    Is harder than any magic spell
[22:47] ---
    ari to arayuru mahou yori muzukashikute
[22:53] ---
    Even though you're so close to me
[22:53] ---
    konnani mo chikaku ni itanoni
[22:59] ---
    I love you
[22:59] ---
    aishiteiru
[23:02] ---
    I finally realized it
[23:02] ---
    imasara kizuitanosa
[23:05] ---
    To call out your name
[23:05] ---
    kimi no namae wo yobu tame ni
[23:10] ---
    Must be the reason I was born
[23:10] ---
    boku wa kitto umarete kitannda
[23:16] ---
    I shake off the clinging night
[23:16] ---
    shigamitsuku yoru furihodoite
[23:22] ---
    And go to see you
[23:22] ---
    ai ni iku
[23:25] ---
    Right now to where you are
[23:25] ---
    ima sugu kimi no moto e
[23:33] ---
    Hyunckel voices his objection to Avan.
[23:36] ---
    The others continue hesitantly
    but their way is barred by a giant gate.

[23:41] ---
    Its door is like the one
    Dai and Baran barely managed to breach.

[23:45] ---
    Yet Avan tackles it alone.
[23:48] ---
    The mystery behind Avan's activities
    after his fight with Hadlar are revealed.

[23:53] ---
    DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,
[23:56] ---
    
"The Secret Way of Purification"*
[23:58] ---
    The adventure continues!
[24:00] ---
    
[24:02] ---
