[00:03] Hak
    I can't believe people live here...
[00:07] Yun
    Yeah, at first glance,
    it just looks like a mountain.
[00:11] Yun
    I think Ik-su mentioned a story about
    a group who hid in the mountains
[00:16] Yun
    to escape the war.
[00:17] Yona
    Are you sure, Gija?
[00:20] Kija
    Yes. The Blue Dragon is here.
[00:43] Man
    Do we have guests?
SIGN    Episode 12: Blindfolded Dragon
[02:22] Yun
    The villagers... What should we do?
[02:26] Kija
    Bring the Blue Dragon here!
[02:28] Yun
    That's too direct.
[02:29] Man
    Blue Dragon?
[02:34] Man
    No one by that name lives here.
[02:37] Kija
    It's not a name. He is a man
    who possesses a dragon's blood.
[02:41] Kija
    There is no need to hide him.
[02:42] Kija
    Tell him this person is waiting for him.
[02:46] Man
    I don't know what you're talking about.
[02:50] Man
    Perhaps you came to the wrong place.
[02:54] Man
    This is a small, simple settlement.
[02:57] Man
    We don't want a lot of commotion.
[03:01] Kija
    But...
[03:02] Yona
    I'm sorry.
[03:04] Yona
    We were traveling in search of someone,
    but it seems he isn't here.
[03:11] Yona
    But we're exhausted from our long
    journey, and some of us are injured.
SIGN    A little fan service for you today
[03:17] Hak
    Do you think we could...
[03:19] Yona
    ...rest for a while?
[03:22] Man
    Your journey must have been difficult.
[03:24] Man
    As you can see, we are poor.
[03:27] Man
    We cannot offer you anything.
[03:30] Yona
    That's fine. Thank you.
[03:33] Man
    This way, please.
[03:40] Yona
    What are those masks?
[03:42] Man
    They're traditional.
[03:44] Man
    We discourage unmarried villagers from
    showing their faces to others.
[03:48] Yona
    That's an interesting tradition.
[03:50] Man
    As guests, I'm sure you must find it shocking.
[03:54] Man
    You can rest here.
[03:56] Yona
    Thank you.
[03:58] Man
    Ah, miss...
[04:00] Man
    This place is like a maze.
[04:04] Man
    Do not wander too much.
[04:07] Man
    We will not be held responsible for
    anything that happens to you.
[04:13] Yun
    Is this really the Blue Dragon's village?
[04:16] Yona
    Why do you ask that?
[04:17] Yun
    The White Dragon's village was
    in awe of your red hair,
[04:22] Yun
    but these people didn't respond.
[04:23] Kija
    Princess... I can feel it.
    The Blue Dragon is here.
[04:29] Yona
    Don't be silly.
[04:30] Yona
    I don't doubt you, Gija.
[04:32] Kija
    Y-Yes, Princess.
[04:34] Hak
    Idiot.
[04:36] Kija
    Did you call me an idiot?!
[04:37] Yun
    Either way, we know the
    Blue Dragon is nearby.
[04:43] Yun
    Until we meet him, we won't get anywhere.
[04:46] Yun
    Let's go while there's no one around.
[04:48] Yona
    That man said this place is a maze.
[04:50] Yona
    Will we be all right?
[04:51] Yun
    Princess, I am a handsome genius.
[04:56] Yun
    I'll make a map as we go
    so we can conquer the maze.
[05:00] Yun
    Find the treasure!
[05:01] Yun
    Search every pot and drawer you find!
[05:03] Both
    Let's search!
[05:05] Kija
    Let's search.
SIGN    Their target is the Blue Dragon
SIGN    Conquering the Maze
[05:12] Yun
    It's a dead end...
[05:14] Yun
    Why isn't the Blue Dragon here?
[05:17] Kija
    This is unthinkable.
[05:19] Kija
    Why won't he come out?
[05:21] Kija
    He must know I am here.
[05:23] Hak
    You're probably smothering him.
SIGN    Dodge
[05:26] Hak
    Dodge.
[05:27] Yona
    Oh, right... The Blue Dragon can
    sense the White Dragon, too, right?
[05:31] Yona
    Maybe he doesn't want to come out...
[05:34] Yona
    In that case, maybe we should give up on—
[05:36] Kija
    We cannot!
[05:38] Kija
    Don't give up.
[05:40] Kija
    Like me, the Blue Dragon comes
    from a long line of dragons.
[05:45] Kija
    He must be waiting for you.
[05:47] Kija
    For you, a master who needs him.
[05:51] Kija
    That's why the four dragons were born.
[05:54] Kija
    We desire nothing else.
[05:59] Kija
    My father, the previous White Dragon,
    longed to meet his master.
[06:03] Kija
    However, no one ever sought him.
[06:09] Kija
    If the Blue Dragon meets you,
    I'm sure he will also...
[06:17] Yona
    Gija?
[06:20] Yona
    I am not King Hiryuu.
[06:26] Kija
    Yes.
[06:28] Kija
    But I thought it was you.
[06:33] Yona
    I am not King Hiryuu,
[06:36] Yona
    but I want you.
[06:41] Yona
    Sorry I'm so selfish.
SIGN    Ba-dum
[06:46] Kija
    I-I'm not worthy.
[06:48] Yun
    Thunder Beast, you're scowling.
[06:56] Yun
    I have a bad feeling about this place...
[06:59] Yona
    What?
[07:00] Yun
    Someone's watching.
[07:02] Yun
    Someone's staring at us with giant eyes.
[07:06] Hak
    I do detect a strange presence.
[07:08] Yun
    Maybe the residents found us.
[07:11] Yun
    Let's go back.
[07:12] Kija
    Yes.
[07:19] Yona
    Was that a cry?
[07:25] Yona
    A passage?
[07:30] Yona
    A squirrel.
[07:34] Yona
    Wait!
[07:44] Yona
    There he is.
[07:49] Yona
    He's so cute!
[07:50] Yona
    Hak, there's an animal—
[07:58] Yona
    The candles...
[08:00] Yona
    Hak!
[08:02] Yona
    Gija!
[08:03] Yona
    Yun!
[08:06] Yona
    What should I do?
[08:08] Man
    Are you lost?
[08:10] Man
    Were you separated from your friends?
[08:13] Yona
    Y-Yes.
[08:15] Yona
    Do you live here?
[08:18] Man
    Yes.
[08:20] Man
    Give me your hand.
[08:23] Man
    I shall take you to them.
[08:28] Yona
    Thank you.
[08:33] Man
    Did you not hear this place is a maze?
[08:35] Yona
    I'm sorry. There's someone I must find.
[08:39] Man
    The Blue Dragon?
[08:42] Yona
    Huh? Yes.
[08:43] Man
    He is not here.
[08:48] Yona
    Does someone live in the room
    at the end of that passage?
[08:52] Man
    No one lives there.
[08:56] Man
    No one.
[09:00] Yona
    Um, Hak and the others aren't that way.
[09:04] Yona
    Why are we going deeper?
[09:12] Yona
    Let go! No!
[09:15] Yona
    Hak! Hak!
[09:30] Yona
    Who is he?
[09:44] Yona
    The sound of bells. He's wearing a mask.
[09:48] Yona
    Does he live here?
[09:52] Yona
    But I wonder why...
[09:54] Yona
    I'm not afraid.
[09:58] Hak
    Where are you, Princess?
[10:00] Yun
    Any luck?
[10:03] Yun
    Where did she go?
[10:08] Kija
    This presence...
[10:09] Kija
    He's close!
[10:15] Hak
    Princess!
[10:16] Hak
    Where have you been?
[10:18] Yun
    You idiot! You were supposed
    to follow us, you idiot!
[10:21] Yona
    Sorry.
[10:22] Kija
    I'm glad you're safe.
[10:24] Yona
    Yes, this man saved...
[10:31] Kija
    You...
[10:33] Kija
    W-Wait!
[10:37] Yun
    What is it?
[10:39] Kija
    That's him.
[10:41] Kija
    He is the Blue Dragon!
SIGN    Eighteen Years Ago
[11:01] Man
    Has a new monster been born?
[11:05] Man
    Yes, the child possesses the Blue Dragon's eyes.
[11:09] Man
    This child will become the next Blue Dragon.
[11:12] Man
    What happened to the mother?
[11:14] Man
    She killed herself.
[11:17] Man
    Who will care for the Blue Dragon?
[11:20] Man
    The previous generation.
[11:22] Man
    That is the rule.
[11:25] Man
    Now, quickly, the mask...
[11:28] Man
    Before the Blue Dragon's power awakens.
[11:36] Shin-ah
    My first memory is of darkness.
SIGN    Four Years Later
[11:42] Boy
    Okay, spin! Go!
[11:45] Boy
    Go, go!
[11:47] Boy
    All right!
[11:48] Boy
    Aww...
[11:51] Shin-ah
    Sorry. U-Um...
[11:56] Shin-ah
    Can I watch?
[12:05] Ao
    Blue Dragon!
[12:08] Shin-ah
    Ao...
[12:10] Ao
    Come!
[12:25] Ao
    I told you not to go outside!
[12:27] Ao
    Why didn't you listen to me?!
[12:30] Shin-ah
    I'm sorry, Ao.
[12:32] Shin-ah
    But...
[12:36] Shin-ah
    I want friends.
[12:40] Ao
    So...
[12:43] Ao
    Do you think you'll make any friends?!
[12:46] Ao
    You can't!
[12:47] Ao
    If you understand, stay at home!
[12:52] Ao
    I swear, you're nothing but a pest!
[12:56] Shin-ah
    Ao... You're the previous Blue Dragon, right?
[13:03] Shin-ah
    Why does everyone in the village run from us?
[13:09] Shin-ah
    Is my power cursed?
[13:14] Ao
    Those who see the Blue Dragon's
    eyes turn to stone.
[13:17] Shin-ah
    Huh?
[13:18] Ao
    It's a made-up rumor the villagers believe.
[13:23] Ao
    You will not turn to stone.
[13:25] Ao
    But the Blue Dragon's eyes paralyze
    the nerves of those who see them.
[13:30] Ao
    It can even paralyze their hearts.
[13:34] Ao
    Either way, it's a creepy power.
[13:40] Ao
    Don't cry! It's annoying!
[13:41] Shin-ah
    But I'm really cursed...
[13:44] Ao
    Yeah, that's right!
[13:45] Ao
    You're cursed by the monster
    known as the Blue Dragon!
[13:50] Ao
    Damn it... I don't know what
    makes this power so legendary,
[13:55] Ao
    but why does it cling to this village?
[13:57] Ao
    Even if the Blue Dragon dies,
    the village produces a new one!
[14:02] Ao
    And the villagers do nothing
    but spread stupid rumors!
[14:12] Shin-ah
    Ao, bad people are here.
[14:18] Ao
    Are they close?
[14:19] Shin-ah
    They're standing around a campfire,
    looking this way.
[14:22] Ao
    Damn it!
[14:28] Shin-ah
    Ao!
[14:30] Ao
    Don't touch me.
[14:36] Shin-ah
    Ao grew blinder every day.
[14:41] Shin-ah
    But my eyes could see farther and farther,
[14:46] Shin-ah
    as though they were absorbing
    power from Ao's eyes.
[14:53] Man
    That's the village?
[14:55] Man
    They say someone with a
    strange power lives there.
[14:58] Man
    It's the power of the dragons.
[15:00] Man
    Yeah, right.
[15:01] Man
    But it sounds like something nobles would like.
[15:05] Man
    If we catch him, they might
    pay a good price for him.
[15:07] ---
    Oh?
[15:08] Ao
    I'm expensive, huh?
[15:12] Ao
    Too bad for you, though.
[15:14] Ao
    I'm an ordinary swordsman.
    I don't use strange powers.
[15:20] Ao
    Threats to my village...
[15:22] Ao
    Your lives were short.
[15:25] Ao
    Hope for more in your next lives.
[15:27] Shin-ah
    Ao...
[15:34] Shin-ah
    Ao was strong, even though he was blind.
[15:39] Ao
    Were you watching my swordsmanship?
[15:42] Shin-ah
    Yes.
[15:44] Ao
    Learn to use a sword as quickly as possible.
[15:48] Shin-ah
    Ao, why do you use a sword?
[15:53] Shin-ah
    Don't you use your eyes against bad people?
[15:58] Ao
    Listen to me, Blue Dragon!
[15:59] Ao
    Those eyes carry a curse!
[16:01] Ao
    I'll teach you to control them,
    but you must never use them!
[16:04] Ao
    If you use them, the curse will return to you.
[16:07] Ao
    Paralyzing your enemies will paralyze yourself!
[16:10] Ao
    It's a double-edged sword!
[16:12] Ao
    Even if not, people won't stop hating
    or coming after you for your power.
[16:23] Shin-ah
    Then, if I protect the village with
    a sword instead of my eyes,
[16:29] Shin-ah
    can I make friends?
[16:36] Ao
    Of course not.
[16:42] Shin-ah
    Ao!
[16:46] Shin-ah
    Ao!
[16:47] Shin-ah
    Wait!
[16:48] Shin-ah
    Don't leave me!
[17:19] Shin-ah
    Ao taught me to use a sword.
[17:22] Shin-ah
    Ao taught me about the power of my eyes.
[17:26] Shin-ah
    Ao was stern.
[17:30] Shin-ah
    Ao grew weaker and weaker.
[17:47] Shin-ah
    Ao!
[17:50] Man
    Damn it...
[17:56] Ao
    Get out of here.
[18:02] Shin-ah
    Ao!
[18:04] Shin-ah
    Are you okay?
[18:05] Shin-ah
    They ran... They ran away, Ao.
[18:14] Shin-ah
    Ao?
[18:16] Ao
    I can't see.
[18:18] Ao
    I can't see anything anymore...
[18:25] Ao
    Yes! I can finally die!
[18:28] Ao
    I have no power now!
[18:31] Ao
    My body is becoming paralyzed!
[18:33] Ao
    I've been released!
[18:35] Ao
    I am human!
[18:52] Ao
    Oh?
[18:54] Ao
    Did you always have bells?
[18:58] Shin-ah
    I found them.
[18:59] Shin-ah
    They make a pretty sound...
[19:03] Ao
    Oh.
[19:06] Ao
    That's good.
[19:09] Ao
    Even though I can't see you,
    I know where you are.
[19:24] Ao
    I'm sorry...
[19:27] Shin-ah
    Huh?
[19:29] Ao
    I'm sorry...
[19:33] Ao
    for leaving you alone...
[19:38] Ao
    I'm sorry!
[19:43] Shin-ah
    Don't, Ao.
[19:49] Shin-ah
    Let's talk about something else.
[19:53] Shin-ah
    But I'm stupid. I can't think of anything to say.
[20:00] Shin-ah
    You have to talk, Ao.
[20:02] Shin-ah
    Hey, Ao...
[20:05] Shin-ah
    Let me hear your voice.
[20:10] Man
    The previous Blue Dragon is...
[20:12] Man
    Yes. He's finally dead.
[20:14] Man
    He lasted longer than the others.
[20:17] Man
    Then the full curse has passed
    to the current Blue Dragon.
[20:26] Ao
    That's good.
[20:30] Ao
    Even though I can't see you,
    I know where you are.
[20:39] Shin-ah
    I'm here!
[20:50] Shin-ah
    Something's coming.
[20:52] Shin-ah
    Lots of them. Like soldiers.
[20:57] Shin-ah
    The people who ran must have told the soldiers.
[21:01] Shin-ah
    What should I do? I'm not strong enough
    to beat them with my sword yet.
[21:05] Shin-ah
    I'm wearing a mask. They'll find me soon.
[21:09] Shin-ah
    If the village's secret gets out...
[21:11] Shin-ah
    If they find out, what will happen?
[21:15] Ao
    You must never use the power of your eyes.
[21:19] Shin-ah
    That's right.
[21:20] Shin-ah
    Everyone fears us and attacks the
    village because of this power.
[21:26] Shin-ah
    It's a curse. A curse.
[21:28] Shin-ah
    But...
[21:31] Shin-ah
    Ao protected this village!
[21:36] Man
    What... What happened?
[21:42] Shin-ah
    I'm sorry, Ao...
[21:48] Shin-ah
    This power was never supposed be used.
[21:58] Yona
    He is the Blue Dragon.
[22:08] Yona
    It was so gentle and warm.
SIGN    Next Time
[23:26] Shin-ah
    Why do I so strongly feel as though
    I've wanted to meet this girl?
