    ON THIS BOND
[01:50] ---
    Just as Dai, the Hero is the only one
    who can defeat the Dark King,
[01:55] ---
    the only one who can unlock
    Dai's full potential...
[01:58] ---
    is the one who has been with him
    since the very beginning of this fight.
[02:03] ---
    Popp... That's you.
[02:09] ---
    Work together... and achieve victory!
[02:15] ---
    Master!
[02:29] ---
    Master, please watch us!
[02:33] ---
    I promise...
[02:34] ---
    we'll get the Dark King for you!
[02:39] ---
    What a joke.
[02:43] ---
    What are you doing?!
    Vearn's going to attack!
[02:46] ---
    Hurry and ready yourself!
[02:49] ---
    Nah. Don't worry.
[02:54] ---
    Vearn will never attack first
    in that stance,
[02:57] ---
    the Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth.
[03:01] ---
    It's not that sort of skill.
[03:03] ---
    I understand now.
[03:06] ---
    It's the ultimate defensive skill.
[03:09] ---
    Basically, it's for countering.
[03:12] ---
    While it lets him use
    three skills at once,
[03:15] ---
    used offensively,
    it's just a triple attack.
[03:20] ---
    And Vearn's skills are great enough
    to defeat most enemies without it.
[03:25] ---
    I bet the Demonic Guard
    of Heaven and Earth
[03:28] ---
    is a stance Vearn only uses
    against truly powerful enemies.
[03:34] ---
    By letting an enemy attack first,
[03:36] ---
    he can hit them with his super skills
    of attack, defense, and magic,
[03:40] ---
    completely obliterating them.
[03:45] ---
    It's unbeatable!
[03:48] ---
    But he must charge a massive amount
    of energy in order to unleash these.
[03:53] ---
    They're not normal attacks.
[03:55] ---
    Hitting his opponent
    with these three super attacks
[03:58] ---
    is what brings such devastation.
[04:01] ---
    That immovable stance isn't
    just to make his enemies attack first.
[04:06] ---
    It probably lets him conserve energy,
    storing it in his body
[04:09] ---
    and then unleashing it all at once.
[04:14] ---
    It appears Avan's parting words
    weren't said out of desperation.
[04:21] ---
    A fledgling like you
    saw through my ultimate skill.
[04:26] ---
    But, knowing that, what can you do?
[04:30] ---
    How do you intend to fight?
[04:32] ---
    Once I take this stance, it's over.
    No one can break it.
[04:37] ---
    And buying time is meaningless.
[04:40] ---
    Dai's wounds were inflicted by Dark Aura
    and can't be healed by healing spells.
[04:46] ---
    That's the problem!
[04:48] ---
    Dai's not healing at all!
[04:51] ---
    I can only think of
    one way to attack Vearn.
[04:56] ---
    Hit him in the brief moments
    following an attack.
[05:00] ---
    Before he charges for the next.
[05:03] ---
    But with everyone in this state...
[05:19] ---
    And I can always initiate
    an attack as well.
[05:24] ---
    Don't forget that!
[05:26] ---
    -He dropped his stance!
    -Here he comes!
[05:28] ---
    Larhart! Hym!
[05:30] ---
    I hate to ask this
    from complete strangers, but...
[05:34] ---
    give your lives to me!
[05:54] ---
    They say ancient humans thought thunder
    was the gods fighting in the heavens.
[06:00] ---
    You can feel the terrifying power
    from way down here!
[06:03] ---
    Dai and the others must be fighting
    Dark King Vearn right now!
[06:09] ---
    Unbelievable.
[06:11] ---
    There's no ifs or buts about it.
[06:14] ---
    Either the Dark King falls,
    or the Surface World ends.
[06:18] ---
    It's one or the other.
[06:22] ---
    It's hopeless!
[06:25] ---
    He's on a whole different level!
[06:30] ---
    Please! Please just stop it!
[06:36] ---
    I can almost hear the anguished cries
    of your friends, Dai!
[06:41] ---
    They might as well have stayed behind
    and left you here with the Princess!
[06:48] ---
    This game...
[06:50] ---
    is mine.
[06:52] ---
    -D-Darn it!
    -It's no good!
[06:55] ---
    I can't move my body!
[06:58] ---
    So much for my plan.
    It looks like it was worthless.
[07:02] ---
    You asked us to give our lives to you.
[07:06] ---
    So tell us.
[07:09] ---
    If there's any hope of winning,
    tell us what to do!
[07:12] ---
    We've reached our limit!
[07:14] ---
    If you can't hold out, then all is lost.
[07:17] ---
    My plan wasn't anything complicated.
[07:21] ---
    It's what you said before.
[07:24] ---
    Be a shield for Dai!
[07:27] ---
    We're all beat to hell here.
[07:30] ---
    None of us can face Vearn directly.
[07:33] ---
    That's why I wanted the three of us
    to take his blows and create an opening,
[07:39] ---
    allowing Dai to focus on the offensive!
[07:42] ---
    "Wanted"? You're talking past tense?
[07:45] ---
    It looks like I underestimated him.
[07:48] ---
    At this rate, we won't even be able to
    take more blows for Dai!
[07:52] ---
    P-Popp...
[07:58] ---
    I shall end this now.
[08:00] ---
    I'll wipe you all out
    with my Calamitous Wall.
[08:05] ---
    It looks like some poor little Eyes
    will be disintegrated as well.
[08:14] ---
    He means me!
[08:16] ---
    I'll make this one move slowly.
[08:19] ---
    You can enjoy your fear longer.
[08:23] ---
    Calamitous Wall!
[08:38] ---
    Dammit! He's laughing his head off!
[08:43] ---
    I won't give up!
[08:44] ---
    I will never give up!
[08:50] ---
    I swear I'll survive this Calamitous Wall!
[08:54] ---
    There's no point if we can't withstand it!
[08:58] ---
    I need him to use
    that ultimate skill one more time!
[09:03] ---
    What?!
[09:04] ---
    You fool! Didn't you see
    the three of us fail against it?!
[09:09] ---
    The Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth
[09:12] ---
    can't be beaten head-on,
    not even with ten people!
[09:16] ---
    But the moment he unleashes that ultimate
    skill is when he's most vulnerable!
[09:22] ---
    Popp, you had the same idea as me!
[09:26] ---
    I thought that was the only way, too!
[09:29] ---
    Withstand all three super attacks
    and then attack immediately after!
[09:34] ---
    That's the only way
    to defeat that unbeatable skill!
[09:39] ---
    But I knew that it would kill me
    if I tried it alone.
[09:43] ---
    So you saw through it, too.
[09:46] ---
    Nice going, partner. That settles it!
[09:49] ---
    You're not alone anymore!
[09:52] ---
    You've got allies here who will suffer
    those super attacks in your place!
[09:57] ---
    Even if it means getting hit by all three,
    I'll give you the chance to strike back!
[10:02] ---
    So that was the plan.
    These guys are crazy.
[10:10] ---
    It's an impossibility
    within an impossibility.
[10:13] ---
    And we haven't even gotten him
    to take his ultimate stance yet.
[10:17] ---
    First we need to take care of
    the big problem at hand.
[10:20] ---
    But it's still a gamble whether
    the Dark King will take his stance or not!
[10:29] ---
    Stay back!
[10:39] ---
    Little Hym!
[10:40] ---
    That sounds fun!
[10:42] ---
    You can count me in
    on that hopeless gamble!
[10:46] ---
    Sadly, I don't think
    I'll be able to see how it turns out!
[10:49] ---
    Hym!
[10:53] ---
    You've gained my respect
    for the first time.
[10:56] ---
    But I can't let you beat me
    in terms of dedication to Master Dai!
[11:01] ---
    I can't see anymore!
[11:03] ---
    Which way is Vearn?!
[11:05] ---
    Vearn's this way!
[11:07] ---
    Come on!
[11:37] ---
    -You can have it!
    -My life!
[11:40] ---
    Larhart! Hym!
[11:41] ---
    They actually did it!
[11:53] ---
    AURA KNUCKLE
[11:57] ---
    SUNDER CLAW
[12:02] ---
    In this condition
    I doubt anything I do will work on him!
[12:06] ---
    In that case...!
[12:08] ---
    We'll be living bullets!
[12:10] ---
    We'll use our bodies as weapons
    and charge him!
[12:13] ---
    So you're prepared to die.
[12:18] ---
    Their intensity...
[12:21] ---
    No simple attack can counter them!
[12:30] ---
    Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth!
[12:49] ---
    W-What?!
[12:51] ---
    Medroa?!
[13:00] ---
    Phoenix Wing!
[13:14] ---
    You surprised me, boy!
[13:16] ---
    Not only did you once again
    force me to take this stance,
[13:22] ---
    but by using a delayed Medroa,
[13:24] ---
    you even managed to scare me!
[13:28] ---
    But, unfortunately for you,
    you're now out of options.
[13:37] ---
    What? I can't drop my stance!
[13:40] ---
    Something inside of me senses a threat!
[13:43] ---
    Do they still...?!
[13:52] ---
    Hym, Larhart, thank you!
[13:55] ---
    You used to be our enemies,
    and yet you've done so much for us!
[14:01] ---
    You've given us a chance at victory!
[14:05] ---
    We can't waste it!
[14:07] ---
    Your final attack?
[14:11] ---
    Very well. Come on!
[14:14] ---
    Are you sure about that, Mister Dark King?
[14:17] ---
    What do you mean?
[14:19] ---
    This final attack we're about to unleash
[14:23] ---
    will break through your precious
    Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth!
[14:28] ---
    Don't make me laugh!
[14:30] ---
    Gigastrash and Medroa.
[14:32] ---
    You already know that
    your most powerful attacks won't work!
[14:37] ---
    Don't you get it, Vearn?!
[14:40] ---
    Popp didn't cast Medroa
    to try to defeat you!
[14:44] ---
    He did it to show me the perfect timing!
[14:47] ---
    Oh?
[14:48] ---
    I was right.
[14:50] ---
    Right after you use
    the Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth,
[14:54] ---
    there's a slight delay
    until you're ready to counter again.
[14:59] ---
    I cast Medroa in order for
    Dai and I to see the timing for ourselves!
[15:05] ---
    Just as I thought,
    you froze for an instant!
[15:08] ---
    And on top of that, you couldn't properly
    deflect the Medroa back at me!
[15:14] ---
    Even though Mystvearn could do it!
[15:18] ---
    In other words,
    if we strike at that timing,
[15:21] ---
    even wounded as we are,
    we have a chance at a comeback!
[15:26] ---
    That's interesting.
[15:28] ---
    I see. So that's the reason why I froze.
[15:32] ---
    No wonder you never knew about it.
[15:34] ---
    The Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth has
    never failed to beat your enemy, has it?
[15:40] ---
    Of course not.
[15:41] ---
    The Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth
    is my ultimate skill!
[15:45] ---
    To use it means to
    absolutely erase any enemy.
[15:49] ---
    That's why you have that weakness!
[15:52] ---
    Being your greatest and final skill
    causes that opening!
[15:57] ---
    No matter how great a skill it is,
    you shouldn't show it off so many times.
[16:03] ---
    If you want to secure a victory,
    you should attack normally.
[16:08] ---
    Mister Dark King!
[16:11] ---
    This is a gamble!
[16:12] ---
    With their stamina drained, having Vearn
    attack normally would be worse.
[16:18] ---
    Pop is purposely provoking Vearn
    to get him to use his ultimate skill.
[16:25] ---
    He's betting on the Dark King's
    absolute confidence in his ultimate skill!
[16:30] ---
    Very well.
[16:32] ---
    I accept that challenge!
[16:35] ---
    Yes! Now it's all or nothing!
[16:38] ---
    I'm interested in seeing if that
    little provocation of yours pays off.
[16:44] ---
    I never imagined
    that I had such a weakness.
[16:49] ---
    But first...!
[16:57] ---
    And then there were two!
[16:59] ---
    Dai! Popp!
[17:01] ---
    This is grim!
[17:02] ---
    I don't know what Popp's planning,
[17:05] ---
    but those two are too wounded
    to break Vearn's ultimate skill!
[17:10] ---
    Dammit! I can't even be a shield for them
    in their moment of need!
[17:14] ---
    From what I see, Dai doesn't have
    the stamina to use Gigastrash anymore.
[17:20] ---
    And if you plan to finish things
    with your Medroa, I can deflect it again,
[17:26] ---
    whether back at you or not.
[17:28] ---
    Neither attack can be used to finish me.
[17:31] ---
    That's what I'm interested in.
[17:33] ---
    There's no way you two can possibly
    pull off that plan by yourselves.
[17:38] ---
    You can't even withstand
    my ultimate skill!
[17:43] ---
    So how do you intend to hit me
    with a deciding blow?
[17:47] ---
    I must see this!
[17:49] ---
    Which of us will use the deciding blow?
    Isn't it obvious?!
[17:53] ---
    The Hero is the one
    who always defeats the Dark King!
[17:58] ---
    I'll be the shield
    against your ultimate skill!
[18:02] ---
    Popp!
[18:04] ---
    I did it!
[18:05] ---
    I remember Mentor once used
    two spells at the same time.
[18:09] ---
    I thought maybe I could pull it off now.
[18:15] ---
    You're very talented, boy!
[18:18] ---
    That may be better than a single Medroa...
[18:22] ---
    but I thought you were smarter than that.
[18:25] ---
    Can't you do simple math?
[18:27] ---
    What?!
[18:29] ---
    Let's assume that Explosion-type spell
    is as strong as a Kaboom spell.
[18:34] ---
    And that you can cause
    a great deal of damage
[18:37] ---
    with the rest of your Magic Power
    focused in that staff.
[18:40] ---
    That adds up to two!
[18:42] ---
    So what about my third attack?
[18:44] ---
    If a frail human like you
    takes a direct hit unguarded,
[18:49] ---
    you won't even serve as a shield!
[18:53] ---
    First, I'll deflect your spell
    with my Phoenix Wing.
[18:58] ---
    Then I'll shatter your weapon
    with my Calamitous End.
[19:01] ---
    That'll leave you defenseless.
[19:04] ---
    And you'll be hit by the combined force of
    the deflected spell and my Kaiser Phoenix.
[19:12] ---
    You'll be incinerated in an instant,
[19:15] ---
    and Dai will be hit by my spell
    before he can exploit any weakness.
[19:19] ---
    You'll both be reduced to ashes.
    That's how it will end.
[19:24] ---
    Things might be different
    if you only had a few more people.
[19:29] ---
    Here goes, Vearn!
[19:31] ---
    And yet... you still try.
[19:36] ---
    Vearn...
[19:37] ---
    Popp may have been
    a little unreliable at first.
[19:41] ---
    But he's been with me in this battle
    since the very beginning.
[19:47] ---
    He's a friend I trust.
    He's saved me time and time again!
[19:52] ---
    If Popp says he'll make
    an opening for me, then he will!
[19:56] ---
    All I have to do is trust him
    and focus my power!
[20:01] ---
    You should remember this.
[20:04] ---
    The two of us aren't alone.
[20:07] ---
    We may have started
    this adventure together,
[20:10] ---
    but we've met numerous people
    on our way here!
[20:13] ---
    We've fought against
    and been saved by them!
[20:17] ---
    If even one of them hadn't been there,
    we wouldn't be facing you now!
[20:23] ---
    Even if they're far away,
    even if they can't move,
[20:28] ---
    we're all connected
    by the bond of our souls!
[20:35] ---
    It's the strength of this bond!
[20:37] ---
    You can't see it,
    but I know it's gonna surprise you!
[20:41] ---
    I said it once.
    Don't make me say it again.
[20:45] ---
    You can't kill me with your soul!
[20:49] ---
    Here goes, Dai!
[20:51] ---
    The rest is up to you!
[20:53] ---
    Right!
[21:03] ---
    Demonic Guard of Heaven and Earth!
[21:05] ---
    Burn to ashes!
[21:22] ---
    Popp!
[21:24] ---
    It's no good! It's just as Vearn said!
[21:28] ---
    I was right!
[21:40] ---
    The Mirror of Shahal?!
[21:42] ---
    Reflect it!
[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?
[22:30] ---
    nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno
