    CHECKMATE
[01:52] ---
    King... Gaze!
[02:05] ---
    As I thought!
[02:07] ---
    You're so weakened
    that a single hit will kill you!
[02:16] ---
    You've taken so much damage that
    Heal Type spells are no longer effective.
[02:23] ---
    Just a nudge from a pawn and it's over.
[02:27] ---
    I should warn you that no bluff
    will work against my brain and eyes.
[02:34] ---
    This brain contains all the battle data
[02:38] ---
    that the Heyedras
    have gathered on you lot.
[02:45] ---
    I suggest you stop resisting
    and die with one shot!
[02:51] ---
    I have a question.
[02:53] ---
    Hm? What is it?
    I won't accept any pleading for your life.
[02:58] ---
    You called yourself "Vearn Palace's
    greatest and most powerful guardian."
[03:04] ---
    So why aren't you guarding Vearn?
[03:07] ---
    A simple warrior like you
    who only sees the battle in front of them
[03:12] ---
    would never understand.
[03:15] ---
    Allow me to educate you.
[03:17] ---
    The word "defeat"
    doesn't exist in my lexicon.
[03:24] ---
    Weeding out the weak and wounded
[03:28] ---
    to decrease an enemy's numbers
    is a rule of combat.
[03:32] ---
    To enter battle means
    victory must be assured.
[03:37] ---
    My army, once deployed,
    has never failed to wipe out an enemy.
[03:44] ---
    To fight means to win!
[03:46] ---
    That is how my army works!
[03:50] ---
    Mystvearn should be holding off
    the Hero and his friends at the moment.
[03:55] ---
    First, I'll dispose of you weaklings
[03:58] ---
    then I wipe out the Hero and his friends
    keeping Mystvearn busy.
[04:02] ---
    If I do that, I'll get credit
    for wiping out all the intruders.
[04:10] ---
    What a lowlife!
[04:11] ---
    Do you understand?
[04:13] ---
    Now it's time for you to die.
[04:17] ---
    Actually, perhaps I should let
    Mystvearn struggle a little longer.
[04:22] ---
    He always looks down on me
    and calls me the "Cleaner."
[04:28] ---
    He should learn to be grateful to have me.
[04:36] ---
    Who's the Cleaner of Vearn Palace?!
[04:39] ---
    A metallic lifeform born
    from an Orichalcum chess piece.
[04:44] ---
    What?! The Hadlar Royal Guard?!
[04:48] ---
    We've already defeated all of them!
[04:51] ---
    There are more chess pieces
    than the ones you've beaten.
[04:56] ---
    Have you fought the king?
[04:58] ---
    Huh? Isn't Hadlar the king?
[05:01] ---
    Hadlar isn't a chess piece.
[05:03] ---
    It makes sense that
    the real king is still out there.
[05:07] ---
    Besides, there are pieces come in pairs.
[05:11] ---
    So there are other Orichalcum warriors
    besides the Hadlar Royal Guard?!
[05:16] ---
    Not ones with their own wills like them.
[05:20] ---
    Only the king was born with its own will.
[05:26] ---
    And it appears the king
    has finally decided to make a move.
[05:34] ---
    I understand.
[05:35] ---
    Hm?
[05:37] ---
    You're utter filth!
[05:39] ---
    You're not worth leaving alive!
[05:46] ---
    This is why I love
    finishing off the dying.
[05:50] ---
    I can end your lives with just a snap.
[06:01] ---
    Go forth, my pieces!
[06:16] ---
    Look at that! A bum rush
    by my pawns and he's finished!
[06:25] ---
    Return!
[06:29] ---
    Huh?
[06:30] ---
    What's wrong? I said to return!
[06:44] ---
    W-What?!
[06:47] ---
    He shattered Orichalcum with his fist?!
[06:50] ---
    That bastard! He did it!
[06:56] ---
    They're different.
[06:57] ---
    Huh?!
[06:58] ---
    I was right.
[07:01] ---
    They're different from Hym!
[07:05] ---
    What are you babbling about?!
[07:08] ---
    Knight!
[07:10] ---
    And you aren't Sigma!
[07:18] ---
    What?!
[07:20] ---
    In the Hadlar Royal Guard...
[07:23] ---
    Hym and Sigma and Albinass...
[07:27] ---
    They were all great warriors
    with their own wills!

[07:31] ---
    They were powerful and loyal
    and willing to die for their master!
[07:38] ---
    But your servants are simply pieces!
[07:42] ---
    They're mindless puppets!
[07:49] ---
    Hyunckel...
[07:51] ---
    Y-You arrogant little...!
[07:54] ---
    King Gaze!
[07:58] ---
    S-See?! You're barely alive!
[08:02] ---
    It'll only take a scratch
    to take you down! You just got lucky!
[08:06] ---
    But it's all over now!
[08:09] ---
    Take him, Bishop! In one sure strike!
[08:15] ---
    Yes! I did it!
[08:28] ---
    Th-That's impossible!
[08:32] ---
    The flame of my life may dwindle...
[08:35] ---
    but it can't be extinguished
    by mere puppets!
[08:40] ---
    Dammit! Go forth, rook!
[08:54] ---
    You too!
[09:04] ---
    You're hollow!
[09:06] ---
    P-Pawns!
[09:09] ---
    All of you, take him!
[09:38] ---
    It's not dropping!
[09:39] ---
    That last single point of damage!
[09:43] ---
    A-All it should take is
    one scratch to deplete it!

[09:49] ---
    Why?! Why doesn't he die
    from all those attacks?!

[09:54] ---
    A-According to my databank,
[09:58] ---
    the Dark Swordsman Hyunckel's
    immortality is nothing but a label!

[10:04] ---
    He should be a mere human!
[10:07] ---
    I-In that case...!
[10:09] ---
    Super Gaze!
[10:15] ---
    L-Look at that!
[10:17] ---
    There's no way anyone can safely
    shatter Orichalcum bare-handed!

[10:22] ---
    He's... He's beyond all healing!
[10:26] ---
    S-So how...
[10:28] ---
    So how can he still move?!
[10:37] ---
    Amazing! The power driving Hyunckel
    is greater than life itself!

[10:45] ---
    That's... That's Fortitude!
[10:52] ---
    All I have are five pawns left.
[10:54] ---
    There's no way they can't
    cause a single point of damage...

[10:59] ---
    but I have to admit that he possesses
    some kind of supernatural power.

[11:06] ---
    My next... My next order is...
[11:09] ---
    All return! Return and guard me!
[11:16] ---
    He's... He's gone?!
[11:19] ---
    W-Where is he?!
[11:22] ---
    Right here.
[11:49] ---
    They're just puppets.
[11:51] ---
    They won't help you
    unless you order them to.
[11:55] ---
    You really are like
    the king on a chess board.
[11:59] ---
    All you can do
    is order other pieces around.
[12:04] ---
    You use your troops to surround
    and corner your enemies.
[12:09] ---
    Your tactical mind
    is your only real strength!
[12:14] ---
    If you really had any power at all,
[12:18] ---
    you wouldn't have summoned
    your troops back to you!
[12:23] ---
    Checkmate, Maximum.
[12:28] ---
    He's won!
[12:34] ---
    GRAND CROSS
[12:39] ---
    AURA KNUCKLE
[12:44] ---
    King Access!
[12:48] ---
    I can control my pawns with just a finger,
    but it's not enough to defeat him!

[12:54] ---
    I need to find a definite weakness.
[13:00] ---
    Oh?!
[13:04] ---
    Got it!
[13:05] ---
    Hyunckel, finish them off!
[13:09] ---
    Hym!
[13:11] ---
    Stop!
[13:16] ---
    Hey! Let go!
[13:33] ---
    You idiot! You should just
    forget about me!
[13:37] ---
    I can't do that!
[13:39] ---
    Damaged as you are,
    falling from here would kill you!
[13:45] ---
    Exactly!
[13:47] ---
    So, what now?!
[13:50] ---
    You can't do anything!
[13:53] ---
    That's enough! Just let go!
[13:56] ---
    He can't.
[13:59] ---
    His past data proves it.
[14:01] ---
    No matter what happens,
[14:05] ---
    this man can't sacrifice
    his friends to save himself.
[14:09] ---
    Even if it means death for you two,
    he can't choose his own survival.
[14:16] ---
    He's just that kind of fool.
[14:20] ---
    What? He considers me a friend?!
[14:24] ---
    However, that's a mortal weakness!
[14:29] ---
    You used to be a heartless warrior,
[14:33] ---
    but all that compassion and love
    from your friends has made you soft!
[14:38] ---
    It's the one weakness
    of the immortal warrior!
[14:43] ---
    Love?
[14:44] ---
    The fact that I discovered that
    proves how great my mind is!
[14:50] ---
    It's super, super great!
[14:53] ---
    I see. I...
[14:57] ---
    I did what Maam did.
[15:01] ---
    To think... I could do that...
[15:06] ---
    Hyunckel?
[15:08] ---
    I'm sorry.
[15:10] ---
    I was hoping to at least save you,
    but I wasn't strong enough.
[15:16] ---
    But if I'm going to lose
    for my compassion or love...
[15:21] ---
    that's a loss I proudly accept.
[15:25] ---
    You idiot!
[15:28] ---
    I share that opinion.
[15:30] ---
    He's indeed quite the idiot.
[15:33] ---
    And now I shall take
    that last point of yours.
[15:40] ---
    My fist is far greater than any pawn!
[15:45] ---
    Now splatter into pulp, you weakling!
[15:58] ---
    "Thud?"
[16:04] ---
    Wh-Who dares?!
    Wh-Who would display such insolence?!
[16:11] ---
    "Such insolence"?
[16:15] ---
    It's what I always do...
[16:18] ---
    to scum who fight dishonorably.
[16:22] ---
    I make it a point to impale them
    with my Dark Spear.
[16:26] ---
    Y-You!
[16:28] ---
    Identify yourself!
[16:31] ---
    Land Rider...
[16:36] ---
    Larhart has arrived!
[16:40] ---
    L-Land Rider?!
[16:43] ---
    Larhart!
[16:50] ---
    What? Who is that?
[16:53] ---
    It seems that miracles
    come in twos and threes.
[16:58] ---
    Huh?
[16:59] ---
    Like Avan, another amazing individual
    has returned from the afterlife.
[17:05] ---
    My greatest rival,
    and the friend whose will I carry...
[17:10] ---
    Land Rider Larhart!
[17:13] ---
    Access!
[17:16] ---
    Larhart. Former Dragon Legion follower
    and one of the Dragon Masters.

[17:21] ---
    Master of the spear and original owner
    of the Dark Armour Spear.

[17:26] ---
    According to my records,
    he died in the fight with the Heroes.

[17:32] ---
    Did you lose your way,
    you lost soul?!
[17:36] ---
    But my magnificent brain
    obviously contains data on you, too!
[17:43] ---
    I've already accessed it!
[17:46] ---
    I already know all of your attacks!
[17:51] ---
    Oh? That's impressive.
[17:54] ---
    What sort of data?
[17:56] ---
    Supposedly you possess great speed...
[17:59] ---
    Your greatest attack
    is your Sunder Claw.
[18:03] ---
    But, empty-handed,
    you have no choice but to evade me!
[18:08] ---
    To counter that...
[18:11] ---
    Huh?!
[18:25] ---
    That movement...!
[18:26] ---
    Take a good look, Hym.
[18:28] ---
    You're pretty fast,
    but there's always someone faster.
[18:34] ---
    Well? Could you see it?
[18:37] ---
    My supposed "great speed"?
[18:41] ---
    If simply knowing I'm fast was
    enough to win, things would be easy.
[18:46] ---
    At this rate, your other data
    is probably useless in actual battle.
[18:54] ---
    Take him, my pawns!
[18:58] ---
    I see. In that case...
[19:01] ---
    let me show you for posterity's sake!
[19:06] ---
    This is the real...
[19:09] ---
    Here it comes!
[19:10] ---
    ...Sunder Claw!
[19:54] ---
    Very well! I'll let you
    have the victory for today!
[20:00] ---
    But my army cannot lose!
[20:04] ---
    Next time I swear...
[20:07] ---
    There is no next time.
[20:10] ---
    If you take one step
    from that position you will die.
[20:15] ---
    What are you talking about?!
[20:17] ---
    Your hollow threats don't scare me!
[20:22] ---
    Wait, you didn't even notice?!
[20:26] ---
    He already shredded your whole body
    at an incredible speed!

[20:31] ---
    What?!
[20:35] ---
    That's impossible!
[20:37] ---
    You're all trying
    to trick me, aren't you?!
[20:41] ---
    King Access!
[20:49] ---
    I get it! This is a psychological trap!
[20:53] ---
    You can't trick me
    with such uncertain information!
[21:00] ---
    And now, goodbye!
[21:02] ---
    Until we meet again!
[21:07] ---
    Huh?
[21:15] ---
    You reap what you sow. A fitting end.
[21:20] ---
    That king really was a true idiot.
[21:26] ---
    Wait! I could have been
    one of those pawns!
[21:31] ---
    Thank goodness I was born
    as Lord Hadlar's servant.
[21:34] ---
    That's one in eight...
[21:46] ---
    What is this Larhart guy?
[21:51] ---
    What happened between him and Hyunckel?
[22:11] ---
    Tell me, where are you going all alone?
[22:11] ---
    nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno
[22:20] ---
    I gaze at you from behind
    as you begin to walk away

[22:20] ---
    arukidasu kimi no ushirosugata wo nagameru
[22:30] ---
    Tell me, where are you going all alone?

    Again in this world

[23:33] ---
    The one who saved Hyunckel and Hym
[23:36] ---
    was the Dragon Master, Land Rider Larhart,
    who was thought to have died.

[23:40] ---
    Larhart dons the Dark Armour Spear
    and heads off to Dai and the others.

[23:45] ---
    Meanwhile, in the White Garden,
[23:47] ---
    the stage is set
    for the battle against Mystvearn,

[23:50] ---
    the greatest enemy in the Dark Army.
[23:53] ---
    DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,
[23:56] ---
    
"The Battle in the White Garden"*
[23:58] ---
    The adventure continues!
