[00:01] Obi; narration
    Causes of death are many and varied.
    Old age, suicide, illness...
[00:08] Obi; narration
    But the cause of death that scares the
    most people in this day and age...
[00:16] Obi; narration
    ...is death by fire.

[00:57] Shinra
    Captain!
[01:02] Burns
    Stay there and watch.
[01:05] Shinra; internal
    This can't be happening.
    They put an Insect in the captain?
[01:14] Shinra; internal
    It can't be real.

[02:01] Hinawa
    Captain Obi, looking sharp!
[02:04] Hinawa
    Come on. Cheer him on as we always do.
[02:06] Maki
    Looking good! Nice work cutting!

    You must've been sleepless with worry,
    and you still managed that?

    Your abs are like a chocolate bar!
[02:31] Tamaki
    Oil king!
[02:33] Licht
    Oh, no! The captain's serious this time!

    You haven't much time.

    We have to hurry up and get over there, too.
[05:08] Arthur
    It seems you're the last one left.

    L-Lieutenant, please pull back.

    Somehow, this guy seems completely different

[05:59] Dragon

[06:03] Arthur
    What? Dragon?
[06:10] Arthur
    So this is where you've been, dragon?
[06:14] Dragon
    You wish to be turned to dust, do you, whelp?
[06:22] Maki
    Arthur's Excalibur is...
[06:27] Arthur
    I, the Knight King,
    have never stood before a dragon.
[06:31] Dragon
    Has the force of my presence frightened you?
[06:38] Arthur
    There are only a few knights
    who may stand before a dragon.
[06:42] Arthur
    The rest of you, stand back!
[06:44] Vulcan
    If you insist.
[07:00] Licht
    The video feed has been cut off!
[07:02] Iris
    What was that attack?
[07:12] Dragon
    Impressive.
[07:17] Arthur; internal
    This dragonic pressure...
[07:19] Arthur; internal
    This is no average dragon.
SIGN    Dragon
[07:22] Arthur; internal
    This guy is...
[07:26] Arthur
    Excalibur, defeat him,
    and I shall bestow a title upon you!
[07:33] Arthur
    The title of Dragonslayer!

[08:23] Destroyer B
    However...
[08:32] Destroyer B
    Unfortunately, that won't work on Dragon.
[08:49] Dragon
    Hmm, that was quite lovely.
[08:56] Dragon
    You're very capable for a human.
[08:59] Arthur
    A human? You speak as if you
    aren't a human yourself.
[09:03] Dragon
    I am Dragon.
[09:08] Arthur
    What a coincidence.
[09:10] Arthur
    I am a knight!
SIGN    SHAKE SHAKE
[09:14] Arthur
    I'm shaking with a warrior's excitement.
    A... A knight's excitement.
[09:23] Arthur
    My Excalibur's first strike is a deadly one!
    There will not be a second.
[09:27] Arthur
    That's what I'd like to say, but when
    it's a dragon I'm facing, I can't!
[09:32] Arthur
    Dragon! I shall continue to wield
    Excalibur until you are defeated!
[09:36] Arthur
    I, the Knight King, am determined
    to face you with everything I have!
[09:49] Arthur; internal
    What? With his dragonic pressure alone?
[09:52] Arthur; internal
    Now this is true dragonic pressure!
[09:58] Dragon
    You do not simply retreat.
    You also attack as you do so.
[10:05] Dragon
    You aim precisely
[10:08] Dragon
    for the heart of a human,
    or the core of an Infernal.
[10:12] Dragon
    And your skills are good for your age.
[10:15] Dragon
    But I am Dragon!
SIGN    Dragon
[10:22] Dragon
    I see. Your strength grows even greater.
[10:25] Arthur
    Dragon!
[10:31] Iris
    The person he's fighting is
    so big and seems so strong.
[10:34] Iris
    Will Arthur-san be all right?
[10:37] Licht
    Soldier Arthur's ignition power
    depends on the image he creates.
[10:41] Licht
    Having found a powerful, ideal opponent,
[10:43] Licht
    he's working with the strongest
    image he's ever had.
[10:46] Licht
    I don't think anyone could stop
    Soldier Arthur right now.
[10:54] Dragon
    The strength of your flame
    and the way you wield it...
[10:56] Dragon
    You've achieved true mastery.
[11:00] Arthur
    My sword's... My sword... blade...
[11:05] Vulcan
    He's the best opponent Arthur could ask for.
[11:08] Vulcan
    It's just bad luck for the old guy he's fighting.
[11:14] Lisa
    Lieutenant, why don't you use that gun to
    back up Arthur instead of staring at it?
[11:18] Hinawa
    I've already fired several shots.
[11:21] Hinawa
    And they should've been more than backup.
    I fired several lethal shots.
[11:30] Hinawa
    But none of them did any damage.
[11:33] Hinawa
    I suspect Arthur's attacks are the same.
[11:36] Maki
    And isn't it strange?
[11:39] Maki
    Arthur is attacking,
    and Dragon isn't doing anything,
[11:46] Maki
    but Arthur's the one who's hurt!

[12:00] Dragon
    It seems you are weak after all, human.
[12:03] Arthur
    And Dragon, you are an impressive dragon.
[12:07] Arthur
    A dragon of your caliber
    is no ordinary dragon!
[12:13] Arthur
    I will defeat you...
[12:16] Arthur
    and I will become a dragon slayer!
[12:21] Maki
    All he did was get close
    enough to attack again!
[12:23] Dragon
    Weak indeed. You're wounded by my scales?
SIGN    Dragon Scale
[12:33] Dragon
    Dragon Scale!
[12:35] Maki
    What? The place where he's been cut...
[12:40] Arthur
    The fearsome Dragon Scale.
[12:45] Licht
    We're too far away for me to see clearly,
    but those scales...
[12:48] Licht
    They're like an Infernal's body!
[12:56] Dragon
    You did well for a human.
[13:09] Vulcan
    Arthur, are you okay? Hang in there!
[13:12] Licht
    What's with that arm?
[13:13] Licht
    It's dark and hardened,
    just like an Infernal's would be!
[13:18] Dragon
    Your ignition powers are strengthened
    by the images in your mind.
[13:21] Dragon
    That was a good approach.
[13:23] Dragon
    But you haven't grasped the Adolla yet.
[13:26] Arthur
    What?
[13:30] Dragon
    If you only use the power of one side,
    that's as far as you'll go.
[13:42] Licht
    He's able to transform his body
    into that of an Infernal at will!
[13:46] Licht
    It can't be! That's impossible!
[13:51] Karim
    Huo Yan!
[13:52] Karim
    You've been here of all places?
[13:55] Huo Yan
    What is it, Karim?
[13:56] Karim
    Rekka's work records.
[13:59] Karim
    I've been looking through Rekka's past

[14:03] Karim

[14:05] Huo Yan
    What did you find? What's wrong?
[14:08] Karim
    Rekka frequently visited an orphanage.
[14:12] Karim
    The place where the 5th's Captain Hibana
    and the 8th's Sister came from,
[14:15] Karim
    and where they were suspected
    of researching doppelgangers.
[14:20] Huo Yan
    That means...
[14:21] Karim
    Yeah. Rekka was somehow
    connected to doppelgangers.
[14:29] Hibana
    Doppelgangers.
[14:31] Hibana
    Konro said that it's like
    a mirror image of you,
[14:34] Hibana
    a Demon Infernal, comes from Adolla.
[14:40] Hibana
    Are the Demon Infernals trying to kill
    the real people and become them?
[14:48] Hibana
    Is there some kind of close connection
    between doppelgangers and human combustion?
[14:53] Hibana
    If I can identify what
    doppelgangers really are,
[14:56] Hibana
    maybe I'll also be able to solve the mystery
    of spontaneous human combustion!
[15:14] Licht
    This man who calls himself Dragon is even
    more of a special case than we thought!
[15:19] Hinawa
    You mean he isn't an ordinary human?
[15:22] Maki
    But if that's true, Arthur will be
    able to go deeper into his imagination
[15:26] Maki
    and grow stronger.
[15:27] Lisa
    We're counting on you, Arthur!
[15:29] Tamaki
    Don't worry! I've never seen
    Arthur this serious before!
[15:38] Arthur
    Stay back, Vulcan.
[15:40] Vulcan
    I will. Be careful!
[15:43] Vulcan
    You can do this! He's the dragon
    you've been searching for!
[15:50] Arthur
    He's finally using
    Extreme Dragonic Pressure!
[15:56] Arthur
    The outer Dragon becomes
    possessed by his inner dragon.
[15:59] Arthur
    Dragon Suit!
[16:04] Arthur
    This is the first time I've seen it.
[16:06] Arthur
    This guy must have accumulated a
    huge amount of Dragonic Experience.
[16:11] Dragon
    Die nobly, human.
[16:14] Arthur
    Defend your Knight King, Plasmantle!
[16:27] Vulcan
    Was that really him just exhaling?
    How's Arthur?
[16:37] Vulcan
    Is that... a cape made of plasma?
[16:43] Arthur
    Dragon-Slaying Holy Sword!
[16:48] Hinawa
    His output has increased even more.
[16:49] Maki
    He's incredible!
[16:51] Arthur
    If not for this sword and cape I found in
    the caldera, that would have ended badly.
[16:55] Dragon
    What's this about a caldera, whelp?
[16:58] Dragon
    The heat of a volcano's mouth
    amounts to very little!
[17:05] Vulcan
    Get him, Arthur! You're the Knight King!
[17:08] Tamaki
    You can do it, Knight King!
[17:11] Arthur
    A holy blow that shall slay the dragon!
[17:15] Arthur
    Excalibur!
[17:32] Arthur; internal
    Excalibur is...
[17:43] Dragon
    You didn't quite manage to slay the dragon.
