**[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.*
