    A SINGLE SHARD OF COURAGE
[01:52] ---
    Beast King Anguish Blast!
[02:02] ---
    Victory is mine!
[02:06] ---
    What's that?
    Could it be Dai and Maam...
[02:10] ---
    No. It's not my concern!
[02:12] ---
    It's not my business anymore
    whether they live or die!
[02:17] ---
    You're still here?
[02:20] ---
    Oh, you're the Mage
    from the fake Hero's party.
[02:24] ---
    The name's Masopho.
[02:28] ---
    You're nothing but a looter!
[02:33] ---
    Would you like to join us?
[02:36] ---
    You seem to have a lot of potential.
[02:39] ---
    Don't be stupid!
    I'm a student of Avan, the Hero!
[02:43] ---
    I'm not a small-time crook like you guys!
[02:46] ---
    Oh really?
    So does the famous Avan
[02:50] ---
    make students of people
    who abandon their companions?
[02:54] ---
    Here. Let me show you.
[03:01] ---
    Dai?! Old man Brass?!
[03:03] ---
    Why?!
[03:12] ---
    So you survived.
[03:18] ---
    Dai...
[03:25] ---
    I'll heal you.
[03:29] ---
    Maam!
[03:30] ---
    It looks like they're in trouble.
[03:33] ---
    Somebody should help them.
[03:37] ---
    But, even if I go,
    what can I do against Crocodine?
[03:41] ---
    Dammit!
[03:46] ---
    "A Hero is one with courage!
[03:52] ---
    And true courage is not planned!
[03:55] ---
    True courage does not depend
    on the strength of one's foes!"
[04:05] ---
    Like that?
[04:06] ---
    They're not my words.
    They were my master's.
[04:09] ---
    Your master?
[04:11] ---
    When I was young, I trained to be
    a Mage to fight for justice.
[04:18] ---
    But I couldn't hack it.
[04:19] ---
    I would often abandon my companions
    and run away from danger.
[04:23] ---
    And just look at me now.
[04:27] ---
    Old man...
[04:28] ---
    Now, hurry on!
[04:30] ---
    While there's still a single shard
    of courage left within you.
[04:40] ---
    You disgust me!
[04:48] ---
    I am disgusting!
[04:50] ---
    All I do is think of myself and run away!
[04:55] ---
    While Master Avan and Dai
    always risked their lives to fight!
[05:00] ---
    Well, that kid's dead.
[05:02] ---
    Poor thing.
[05:04] ---
    Oh, he'll be fine.
[05:07] ---
    That boy is a student of Avan.
[05:10] ---
    Avan?! You mean the real Hero?!
[05:14] ---
    He's made of different stuff than us.
[05:25] ---
    A Heyedra.
[05:29] ---
    Zaboera!
[05:31] ---
    She won't get in your way now.
    Go ahead and finish Dai.
[05:42] ---
    Somebody...
[05:44] ---
    save Dai...!
[05:51] ---
    Now, it will finally end...
[05:53] ---
    with this blow!
[05:56] ---
    Dai!
[05:57] ---
    Farewell!
[05:58] ---
    Stop!
[06:08] ---
    Popp?!
[06:09] ---
    Ah, the Mage from before.
[06:11] ---
    What can someone like you
    possibly do by showing up now?
[06:16] ---
    Begone!
[06:21] ---
    Master Avan, one fifth,
    no, one tenth of what you had is enough.
[06:27] ---
    Lend me your courage!
[06:32] ---
    How dare you!
[06:33] ---
    What?!
[06:35] ---
    You hurt my friends! How dare you?!
[06:41] ---
    Boy, do you know what you're saying?
[06:45] ---
    S-Sure!
[06:47] ---
    I'm saying I'm going to beat you!
[06:51] ---
    You dumb lizard!
[06:52] ---
    Popp! Don't attack that Lump Shaman!
[06:56] ---
    He's...
[06:57] ---
    I know! I recognize him!
[07:01] ---
    You kidnapped him from the island
    and turned him into your servant!
[07:05] ---
    You dirty fiends!
[07:07] ---
    Get Crocodine's Magic Cylinder...!
[07:10] ---
    Maam!
[07:11] ---
    Go on and run away.
[07:13] ---
    Compared to Dai,
    you're nothing but a gutless worm!
[07:17] ---
    Leave now and I'll spare you.
[07:22] ---
    Screw that!
    I'm never abandoning my friends!
[07:26] ---
    Avan didn't train any cowards!
[07:28] ---
    Popp!
[07:30] ---
    Crocodine! Fight me one on one!
[07:33] ---
    A puny ant like you...
[07:35] ---
    Or are you going to use a hostage
    against a gutless worm like me?!
[07:41] ---
    What?!
[07:42] ---
    I guess you're a worm, too!
    You dumb lizard!
[07:45] ---
    Very well! If it's death you seek, you can
    go with your friends to the afterlife!
[07:51] ---
    Brass! Stay out of this!
[07:55] ---
    Good. Now I can fight
    without worrying about him.
[07:59] ---
    Let's see if my best spell will work.
[08:10] ---
    Here I come!
[08:30] ---
    You distanced yourself.
[08:31] ---
    Unlike Heroes and Warriors, Mages like you
[08:35] ---
    are physically no different
    from normal humans.
[08:39] ---
    One blow from me will kill you.
[08:44] ---
    Now it depends on whether the spell
    you want to cast will work!
[08:51] ---
    See for yourself
    whether it'll work or not!
[09:01] ---
    Kafrizz!
[09:05] ---
    Did it work?!
[09:13] ---
    Even if you are a worm,
    you're Avan's student.
[09:16] ---
    I didn't expect
    you to be able to cast Kafrizz!
[09:20] ---
    Unfortunately...
[09:23] ---
    I created a shield of wind
    with my Vortex Axe,
[09:27] ---
    and avoided a direct hit!
[09:34] ---
    I hope you're ready, boy!
[09:55] ---
    And that's that.
[09:57] ---
    It hurts! It hurts so bad!
[09:59] ---
    I'm... done for!
[10:02] ---
    P-Popp...
[10:04] ---
    Run... Popp...
[10:07] ---
    Dai?!
[10:09] ---
    Don't worry, Dai.
[10:12] ---
    I'm not running anymore!
[10:17] ---
    You kept fighting
    after taking tons of blows like this!
[10:27] ---
    I can't be lying down
    after just one or two!
[10:34] ---
    You can stand?!
[10:40] ---
    I'll just have to sacrifice myself
    and do what I can!
[10:43] ---
    Maybe I can't bring it
    to a stalemate like Master Avan, but...
[10:47] ---
    Wait... Like Master Avan?
[10:50] ---
    I've never done it before,
    but I'll have to try!
[11:05] ---
    Have you lost your mind?
[11:15] ---
    What are you doing?
[11:33] ---
    Why do you endure?!
[11:35] ---
    What can you do with your rod shattered
    and your Magic Power spent?!
[11:45] ---
    What's so funny?!
[11:47] ---
    It's all planned out.
[11:49] ---
    Shattering my rod
    and saving my Magic Power...
[11:53] ---
    What?!
[11:57] ---
    Watch the legendary spell
    my master, Avan, excelled at!
[12:05] ---
    A magic circle?!
[12:07] ---
    Dark influence, begone!
[12:10] ---
    Glimmer!
[12:20] ---
    AVAN STRASH
[12:25] ---
    BEAST KING ANGUISH BLAST
[12:45] ---
    Huh? What?
[12:47] ---
    I did... it!
[12:49] ---
    What?!
[12:50] ---
    Impossible!
[12:52] ---
    Where am I?
    What happened to me?
[12:58] ---
    Old man...
[13:00] ---
    Popp?!
[13:01] ---
    You were under the Dark Army's control.
[13:04] ---
    It was a dirty plot
    to use you against Dai.
[13:08] ---
    Listen, you can't leave that magic circle!
[13:12] ---
    Use me against Dai?!
[13:15] ---
    Did I...?!
[13:17] ---
    Curse you!
[13:21] ---
    What is this?!
[13:24] ---
    You, boy!
[13:28] ---
    What have you done?!
[13:31] ---
    Glimmer.
[13:33] ---
    It's a spell that creates
    a magic circle that repels evil.
[13:38] ---
    I can't cover an entire island
    like Master Avan, though.
[13:42] ---
    Fool! What point is there
    in saving Brass now?
[13:49] ---
    Look. You used a major spell
    beyond your abilities and you're spent.
[14:01] ---
    It doesn't matter.
[14:03] ---
    Dai's still... Dai's still here.
[14:06] ---
    Dai?!
[14:07] ---
    If old man Brass is okay,
    then Dai can fight freely.
[14:12] ---
    He'll take care of you easily.
[14:15] ---
    He's really strong.
[14:19] ---
    You were willing
    to sacrifice yourself for Dai?!
[14:23] ---
    It's nothing noble like that.
[14:26] ---
    It's not like I want to die.
[14:30] ---
    But...
[14:32] ---
    I've still got my pride.
[14:35] ---
    To live on after having
    abandoned my friends...
[14:39] ---
    I just thought that would be
    more pathetic than dying!
[14:45] ---
    Master Avan...
[14:47] ---
    Besides, Popp,
[14:49] ---
    I believe the power we gain through
    training should be used to help others.
[14:55] ---
    Master...
[14:57] ---
    I think I get it now.
[15:00] ---
    I'm sorry it took so long.
[15:03] ---
    This fledgling of a boy
    is risking his life to fight.
[15:08] ---
    And yet, look at me.
[15:10] ---
    I abandoned my pride out of fear
    and resorted to dirty schemes.
[15:15] ---
    Is this truly the right way?
[15:18] ---
    What is victory worth
    if it's at the cost of my pride?
[15:22] ---
    Dammit, Crocodine!
[15:25] ---
    What are you doing?!
    Kill the boy already!
[15:31] ---
    Victory is at hand!
[15:33] ---
    Do you want to lose your seat as
    Legion Commander over feelings of mercy?!
[15:46] ---
    Popp, run! Get out of here!
[15:49] ---
    I can't even stand up.
[15:52] ---
    Don't! Stay inside the magic circle!
[15:56] ---
    If you step out of there,
    all my hard work will be for nothing.
[16:01] ---
    It's a tiny magic circle,
    but it contains all of my Magic Power.
[16:07] ---
    Popp...
[16:22] ---
    Don't! Don't do it!
[16:28] ---
    Forgive me, boy.
[16:45] ---
    Popp!
[16:51] ---
    What?!
[16:55] ---
    He stands?! But Dai was all but finished!
[16:58] ---
    And what is this light?!
[17:01] ---
    What?!
[17:05] ---
    It's a miracle!
[17:07] ---
    Crocodine, you'll pay for that.
[17:10] ---
    You used my Grampa for evil
    and hurt my friends.
[17:18] ---
    You'll pay for that!
[17:23] ---
    What is this light?!
[17:33] ---
    Maam!
[17:35] ---
    What's that mark?! And this light?!
[17:50] ---
    Come on!
[17:51] ---
    Enough of this!
[17:53] ---
    Take this!
[17:57] ---
    Impossible!
[18:12] ---
    Maam! Hang in there!
[18:15] ---
    Popp...
[18:16] ---
    What is that power?
[18:18] ---
    I don't know.
[18:20] ---
    It must be some hidden power of his.
[18:24] ---
    I think that strange mark
    responds to Dai's anger.
[18:30] ---
    And right now, Dai is truly angry.
[18:34] ---
    His anger is exploding
    at the Dark Army's dirty schemes!
[18:39] ---
    Is this Dai's true power that
    forced Lord Hadlar to retreat?
[18:45] ---
    I can't lose here!
[18:47] ---
    If I lose, what did I
    throw my pride away for?
[18:53] ---
    I must win even if it kills me!
[18:58] ---
    Beast King Anguish Blast!
[19:00] ---
    Oh no! Dai's unarmed!
[19:05] ---
    Here's a Heal. You should be able to run.
[19:08] ---
    Help Dai!
[19:09] ---
    Right!
[19:17] ---
    Your body may be like steel,
[19:21] ---
    but at close range, this will end you!
[19:24] ---
    With my greatest, most powerful attack,
    I send you to the afterlife!
[19:28] ---
    Dai!
[19:31] ---
    Use this!
[19:39] ---
    Do it, Dai! The attack of our master!
[19:46] ---
    Beast King Anguish Blast!
[19:51] ---
    Avan Strash!
[20:15] ---
    Avan Strash, is it?
[20:19] ---
    An impressive attack.
[20:21] ---
    You... win!
[20:27] ---
    Yes!
[20:31] ---
    If losing was my fate,
    I wish I'd fought you fair and square.
[20:36] ---
    Crocodine?
[20:38] ---
    You, boy!
[20:39] ---
    You taught me a lesson...
[20:42] ---
    on how valuable pride really is.
[20:46] ---
    If my defeat is by ones
    such as you, I have no regrets.
[20:51] ---
    In fact, I'm proud.
[20:54] ---
    I was obsessed with victory.
[20:57] ---
    I was a fool!
[21:05] ---
    Farewell, Dai.
[21:08] ---
    Don't ever lose.
[21:10] ---
    A Hero must always be strong!
[21:33] ---
    That idiot Crocodine. He lost.
[21:36] ---
    But what was that astonishing power?
[21:41] ---
    And that mark?
[21:43] ---
    I must inform Lord Hadlar
    of the situation.
[21:48] ---
    Crocodine...
[21:50] ---
    Dai.
[21:51] ---
    You won!
[22:20] ---
    Kindness is the magic of kind people
[22:20] ---
    yasashisa wa yasashii hito ga tsukaeru mahou
[22:26] ---
    Then do I have no choice
    But to just be a normal person?
[22:26] ---
    jaa boku wa tada no hito de iru shikanaino?
[22:33] ---
    I'm not sure

[22:38] ---
    Even if the place I call home may change
[22:38] ---
    kaeru basho wa ne kawatte yuku kedo

    Listen to me, Mother

    I will never change those I protect
[22:46] ---
    mamoru hito wo kaetari shinai
[22:53] ---
    I wonder what you'd say
[22:53] ---
    anata wa nannte iukana
[22:57] ---
    At times I can be cowardly and small
[22:57] ---
    tokiyori yowaki de chippoke de
[23:01] ---
    What would you say to me
    As I hesitate to even hesitate?
[23:01] ---
    mayou koto ni mo mayou boku ni nannte iukana
[23:08] ---
    Unlike the today that I sought
[23:08] ---
    sagashite ita kyou to chigatte
[23:14] ---
    I'm sure you'd laugh at my disappointment
[23:14] ---
    ochikonnde shimau boku wo warau no darou
[23:34] ---
    Having defeated the Beast King Crocodine,
    Dai and friends head to Papnica Kingdom.
[23:39] ---
    There, they learn a terrible truth.
[23:42] ---
    On their way to Leona, the party
    is surrounded by undead monsters.
[23:47] ---
    Just then, a mysterious man
    carrying an ominous sword appears.
[23:52] ---
    Next time on
    DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,
[23:56] ---
    "Onto Papnica Kingdom"*
[23:58] ---
    The adventure continues!
