1
00:01:48,048 --> 00:01:51,878
When the darkness was born,
the world was split into two orders.

2
00:01:52,648 --> 00:01:55,018
There were those who were
drawn to the light

3
00:01:55,048 --> 00:01:57,378
and those who desired the dark.

4
00:01:58,514 --> 00:02:02,644
It did not take long for
these two powerful entities

5
00:02:02,681 --> 00:02:05,321
to confront each other and clash.

6
00:02:06,748 --> 00:02:12,078
Twenty-five years later, a war
between Light and Shadow began.

7
00:02:17,514 --> 00:02:19,744
I... I...

8
00:02:20,248 --> 00:02:22,718
What will you do if
you possess power?

9
00:02:22,948 --> 00:02:25,248
I want to protect everyone!

10
00:02:35,514 --> 00:02:38,744
That is the power we have sought...

11
00:02:43,381 --> 00:02:44,621
Blue Dragon!

12
00:02:44,814 --> 00:02:49,814
THE BLUE POWER

13
00:02:59,748 --> 00:03:02,478
What happened?

14
00:03:04,414 --> 00:03:05,674
You...

15
00:03:11,514 --> 00:03:13,444
A new Shadow!

16
00:03:13,681 --> 00:03:18,381
Don't get excited!
Our target is that kid!

17
00:03:19,348 --> 00:03:20,818
Capture him!

18
00:03:22,448 --> 00:03:24,078
Right!

19
00:03:27,414 --> 00:03:30,244
Stay put, kid!

20
00:03:33,314 --> 00:03:34,544
Not enough!

21
00:03:36,348 --> 00:03:40,318
This won't satisfy me!

22
00:03:51,181 --> 00:03:53,721
N-No way...

23
00:03:56,681 --> 00:03:57,851
Power...

24
00:03:59,014 --> 00:04:03,814
Give me more power!

25
00:04:04,848 --> 00:04:07,978
It seems he has awakened.

26
00:04:08,281 --> 00:04:10,081
Awakened! Awakened!

27
00:04:21,514 --> 00:04:23,814
He destroyed the fleet in one sweep.

28
00:04:24,448 --> 00:04:26,418
A-A beast!

29
00:04:26,548 --> 00:04:27,878
R-Run!

30
00:04:41,448 --> 00:04:43,478
What's going on?!

31
00:04:44,814 --> 00:04:47,844
Someone! Someone, stop him!

32
00:04:49,781 --> 00:04:51,081
He's going wild.

33
00:04:52,781 --> 00:04:53,881
If this continues,

34
00:04:53,914 --> 00:04:56,114
that boy will be swallowed up
by his Shadow.

35
00:04:57,581 --> 00:05:00,151
Jiro, I authorize you to
release your power.

36
00:05:01,481 --> 00:05:02,681
Stop him.

37
00:05:04,214 --> 00:05:05,214
Right!

38
00:05:17,748 --> 00:05:19,218
What's this?

39
00:05:19,681 --> 00:05:23,581
You let me out after all this time
to go right into a fight?

40
00:05:24,014 --> 00:05:26,774
Never mind the talk.
We need to stop him!

41
00:05:27,481 --> 00:05:28,721
Him?

42
00:05:29,448 --> 00:05:32,048
Oh, you mean that dragon?

43
00:05:33,314 --> 00:05:36,974
What's with him? He looks crazy.

44
00:05:37,481 --> 00:05:39,651
As you can see,
he's gone wild.

45
00:05:40,514 --> 00:05:42,844
We need to stop him,
without destroying him.

46
00:05:44,481 --> 00:05:47,651
Stop the out of control dragon
without destroying him?

47
00:05:48,848 --> 00:05:51,678
You make it sound so easy.

48
00:05:51,881 --> 00:05:53,251
Any complaints?

49
00:05:55,214 --> 00:05:58,614
Well, I've gotta file a complaint at least.

50
00:05:59,181 --> 00:06:03,181
You're gonna make me
do it anyway, right?

51
00:06:03,548 --> 00:06:04,218
Let's go!

52
00:06:14,414 --> 00:06:16,514
Wanna see who's stronger?

53
00:06:17,348 --> 00:06:19,418
Don't think you can win!

54
00:06:24,581 --> 00:06:25,251
What?!

55
00:06:30,114 --> 00:06:33,514
Stop him, someone!

56
00:06:38,081 --> 00:06:42,581
Get serious!
Don't let that jerk beat you!

57
00:06:43,314 --> 00:06:45,174
What are you saying?!

58
00:06:45,548 --> 00:06:49,048
It's your job to sustain the power!

59
00:06:49,281 --> 00:06:53,221
Before you complain,
get your act together!

60
00:06:58,581 --> 00:07:01,451
All right!

61
00:07:03,214 --> 00:07:05,074
That's good!

62
00:07:09,614 --> 00:07:11,214
Oww!

63
00:07:12,014 --> 00:07:13,974
Good job, Jiro.

64
00:07:41,781 --> 00:07:43,181
So, you're finally awake.

65
00:07:45,748 --> 00:07:46,748
Shu...

66
00:07:46,781 --> 00:07:47,981
- Bro!
- Bro!

67
00:07:49,914 --> 00:07:50,914
I...

68
00:07:55,114 --> 00:07:57,314
Oww!

69
00:07:59,614 --> 00:08:01,874
What's wrong with me?

70
00:08:03,914 --> 00:08:04,914
It's to be expected.

71
00:08:05,381 --> 00:08:07,351
Your Shadow went wild.

72
00:08:09,681 --> 00:08:10,681
Shadow?

73
00:08:14,448 --> 00:08:16,578
Hey! What was that?!

74
00:08:17,081 --> 00:08:18,751
What happened?!

75
00:08:19,314 --> 00:08:20,914
I don't understand!

76
00:08:21,548 --> 00:08:22,648
Take it easy.

77
00:08:23,181 --> 00:08:24,181
Under the circumstances,

78
00:08:24,214 --> 00:08:26,674
I have to explain to you
from the beginning.

79
00:08:28,881 --> 00:08:30,751
That would help.

80
00:08:31,514 --> 00:08:35,874
First, are you familiar with
the Book of the Beginning?

81
00:08:36,714 --> 00:08:38,944
The Book of the Beginning?

82
00:08:39,248 --> 00:08:40,248
- Book?
- Book?

83
00:08:41,214 --> 00:08:45,774
I know! The oldest book in this world.

84
00:08:46,648 --> 00:08:49,848
Yes. A very ancient manuscript.

85
00:08:50,614 --> 00:08:52,474
It describes the creation of this world,

86
00:08:52,514 --> 00:08:54,774
and the ongoing battle
between Light and Darkness.

87
00:08:59,848 --> 00:09:03,878
It seems I must explain
from the very beginning.

88
00:09:10,714 --> 00:09:13,374
This world was created

89
00:09:13,414 --> 00:09:15,844
and the concepts of Light
and Darkness were born.

90
00:09:18,348 --> 00:09:24,978
Over time, these two clashed
and war began.

91
00:09:26,314 --> 00:09:29,244
The entire world was
caught up in this war

92
00:09:29,281 --> 00:09:31,351
which lasted over
a long period of time.

93
00:09:32,648 --> 00:09:36,078
It was thought the war
would continue forever...

94
00:09:36,114 --> 00:09:37,474
when something happened.

95
00:09:38,814 --> 00:09:41,574
The Seven Soldiers of Light appeared.

96
00:09:43,814 --> 00:09:45,814
Seven Soldiers?

97
00:09:46,281 --> 00:09:48,281
At this point,
you probably have it figured out.

98
00:09:49,248 --> 00:09:51,418
But the Seven Soldiers of Light...

99
00:09:53,048 --> 00:09:54,818
They live in this area?!

100
00:09:55,214 --> 00:09:56,744
- Is that true?!
- Is that true?!

101
00:09:59,448 --> 00:10:01,918
She said it's an ancient tale!

102
00:10:03,314 --> 00:10:04,314
The idiot...

103
00:10:05,248 --> 00:10:08,218
The power possessed by
the Seven Soldiers of Light...

104
00:10:09,514 --> 00:10:11,344
That was the power of the Shadow.

105
00:10:12,381 --> 00:10:15,281
While they were called
the Soldiers of Light,

106
00:10:15,314 --> 00:10:17,244
they had the powers of the Darkness.

107
00:10:18,948 --> 00:10:22,418
The Seven Soldiers used
their powers without reserve

108
00:10:22,448 --> 00:10:23,918
and put an end to the war.

109
00:10:25,481 --> 00:10:28,981
As a result, the powers of
the Darkness were sealed.

110
00:10:29,014 --> 00:10:30,474
So goes the legend.

111
00:10:31,581 --> 00:10:32,581
In other words,

112
00:10:32,614 --> 00:10:36,944
our goal is to find the descendants
of the Seven Soldiers.

113
00:10:37,714 --> 00:10:41,614
To counter the formidable force
known as Nene.

114
00:10:42,181 --> 00:10:46,481
Nene? Those soldiers
who attacked our village!

115
00:10:46,914 --> 00:10:49,974
Yes. They are Nene's soldiers.

116
00:10:50,748 --> 00:10:51,418
Nene?

117
00:10:52,581 --> 00:10:54,351
Who is Nene?

118
00:10:54,714 --> 00:10:56,444
He's the king of Grankingdom.

119
00:10:57,381 --> 00:10:59,981
He uses the power of
the Shadow for evil

120
00:11:00,014 --> 00:11:02,914
and is trying to create chaos
in this world.

121
00:11:03,714 --> 00:11:05,144
He's the epitome of evil.

122
00:11:07,448 --> 00:11:10,278
Uses the power of the Shadow for evil?

123
00:11:10,914 --> 00:11:15,644
Nene has found a way to create
Shadow power artificially.

124
00:11:16,814 --> 00:11:18,874
If left alone, terrible things will happen.

125
00:11:22,581 --> 00:11:25,581
I don't understand.

126
00:11:28,181 --> 00:11:31,151
Idiot! What have you been listening
to all this time?!

127
00:11:31,181 --> 00:11:34,521
You don't have to put it like that!

128
00:11:35,648 --> 00:11:37,378
- Bro!
- Bro!

129
00:11:38,314 --> 00:11:42,814
If left alone, this world will
come under Nene's rule.

130
00:11:46,781 --> 00:11:48,651
That's why we are on our quest

131
00:11:48,681 --> 00:11:50,721
to keep such a thing
from happening.

132
00:11:51,848 --> 00:11:52,878
Let us go.

133
00:11:53,048 --> 00:11:53,718
Huh?

134
00:11:54,581 --> 00:11:56,081
Why do you look so puzzled?

135
00:11:56,681 --> 00:11:58,381
Get ready to leave immediately.

136
00:12:00,181 --> 00:12:02,321
What are you saying, lady?

137
00:12:04,348 --> 00:12:05,978
You still don't understand?

138
00:12:07,348 --> 00:12:09,618
You are coming with us.

139
00:12:11,181 --> 00:12:11,851
Huh?

140
00:12:21,081 --> 00:12:22,621
You still don't understand?

141
00:12:23,814 --> 00:12:26,044
You are coming with us.

142
00:12:28,081 --> 00:12:29,251
I'm opposed to that.

143
00:12:30,714 --> 00:12:33,514
I admit... He has the power.

144
00:12:34,148 --> 00:12:36,318
But look what happened!

145
00:12:37,948 --> 00:12:40,648
Even if we take him,
he'll only be a burden to us.

146
00:12:42,748 --> 00:12:45,118
And how were you
in the beginning?

147
00:12:49,048 --> 00:12:50,618
It's decided.

148
00:12:51,214 --> 00:12:53,014
We have no time to
debate the issue.

149
00:12:54,148 --> 00:12:55,718
Now, get ready.

150
00:12:56,314 --> 00:12:56,974
Huh?!

151
00:12:58,148 --> 00:12:59,418
Wait!

152
00:12:59,781 --> 00:13:02,021
You can't decide everything
like that!

153
00:13:03,148 --> 00:13:04,848
Besides, just who are you?!

154
00:13:05,848 --> 00:13:08,478
You refused to help
the village earlier!

155
00:13:08,514 --> 00:13:10,844
And denied being
the Knight Master!

156
00:13:12,414 --> 00:13:16,244
I can't simply put my trust
in someone like that!

157
00:13:17,314 --> 00:13:18,374
Shu!

158
00:13:18,848 --> 00:13:20,718
I'm not telling you to trust me.

159
00:13:21,814 --> 00:13:25,044
I'm telling you because
there's no other option.

160
00:13:27,181 --> 00:13:29,381
If you stay here,
they'll keep sending troops in.

161
00:13:30,348 --> 00:13:33,118
It will be troublesome if
you don't leave before that.

162
00:13:34,448 --> 00:13:36,078
What about the village?!

163
00:13:36,814 --> 00:13:37,814
Are you gonna just ignore it?!

164
00:13:38,481 --> 00:13:41,621
If you are gone,
there shouldn't be any more attack.

165
00:13:43,381 --> 00:13:49,581
As long as you stay in this village,
the enemy will keep sending troops.

166
00:13:51,114 --> 00:13:52,814
The power of the Shadow
is dangerous.

167
00:13:53,348 --> 00:13:55,478
Even if you're able to
release that power,

168
00:13:55,514 --> 00:13:57,974
it is useless unless
you can control it.

169
00:13:59,681 --> 00:14:03,751
Uncontrollable power is
just a detriment.

170
00:14:06,114 --> 00:14:09,474
Do you understand now?
That you have no choice?

171
00:14:11,114 --> 00:14:11,774
No...

172
00:14:13,581 --> 00:14:15,081
I won't have that!

173
00:14:16,148 --> 00:14:16,818
Shu!

174
00:14:17,081 --> 00:14:18,381
- Bro!
- Bro!

175
00:14:20,114 --> 00:14:22,544
Zola, you're cruel.

176
00:14:23,614 --> 00:14:24,714
What do you mean?

177
00:14:26,081 --> 00:14:30,181
You didn't have to back him
into a corner like that.

178
00:14:31,514 --> 00:14:32,974
You have compassion for him now?

179
00:14:34,481 --> 00:14:36,851
It brings back memories
and it tastes bitter.

180
00:14:38,048 --> 00:14:40,048
The beginning is crucial
with things like this.

181
00:14:42,548 --> 00:14:47,318
He has to be committed.
Otherwise, he's no good.

182
00:14:49,581 --> 00:14:53,121
That battle earlier...
You had it all planned, didn't you?

183
00:14:56,514 --> 00:15:01,714
Perhaps you knew from the start
that he had the power?

184
00:15:03,714 --> 00:15:05,674
If you want to give me credit, fine.

185
00:15:06,081 --> 00:15:08,851
But don't try to guess my motives.

186
00:15:11,281 --> 00:15:12,281
I know that.

187
00:15:13,248 --> 00:15:15,318
I'm just trying to make sense.

188
00:15:16,448 --> 00:15:17,448
Leave it at that.

189
00:15:18,514 --> 00:15:20,144
Our goal is one.

190
00:15:21,081 --> 00:15:22,251
To destroy Nene.

191
00:15:23,448 --> 00:15:26,678
Whatever you are thinking,
that will not change.

192
00:15:28,681 --> 00:15:31,781
And that's enough for me!

193
00:15:41,548 --> 00:15:42,548
Shu...

194
00:15:50,114 --> 00:15:54,814
I'm supposed to abandon my village
because that thing appeared?

195
00:15:58,114 --> 00:16:00,514
I don't understand anything anymore.

196
00:16:01,914 --> 00:16:03,314
Cheer up!

197
00:16:04,081 --> 00:16:07,321
You said men were
supposed to have adventures!

198
00:16:07,848 --> 00:16:11,318
It's too sudden! This is crazy!

199
00:16:11,848 --> 00:16:14,248
I'm not ready at all!

200
00:16:14,981 --> 00:16:17,681
And now,
I have this weird power in me.

201
00:16:18,148 --> 00:16:19,818
I don't know anything!

202
00:16:26,448 --> 00:16:27,648
There, there.

203
00:16:29,914 --> 00:16:31,974
You're just scared.

204
00:16:32,814 --> 00:16:34,344
That's not it!

205
00:16:34,514 --> 00:16:36,044
What's the big idea?!

206
00:16:36,714 --> 00:16:38,174
It's all right, Shu.

207
00:16:39,348 --> 00:16:41,318
I'll never leave you alone.

208
00:16:46,914 --> 00:16:48,774
It's another attack!

209
00:16:49,281 --> 00:16:50,821
Run for it!

210
00:16:58,081 --> 00:16:59,751
What are those? Robots?!

211
00:16:59,781 --> 00:17:02,521
No way! How do they work?!

212
00:17:02,948 --> 00:17:04,978
Damn those guys!

213
00:17:05,648 --> 00:17:07,948
As long as you stay
in this village,

214
00:17:07,981 --> 00:17:10,781
the enemy will keep
sending troops.

215
00:17:14,781 --> 00:17:15,781
I'll do it!

216
00:17:18,081 --> 00:17:20,181
I will protect this village!

217
00:17:21,881 --> 00:17:22,551
Shu?

218
00:17:31,881 --> 00:17:33,881
Come on out, you beast!

219
00:17:36,548 --> 00:17:37,218
Huh?

220
00:17:39,114 --> 00:17:40,714
What are you doing?!

221
00:17:42,014 --> 00:17:43,014
What's wrong?

222
00:17:44,414 --> 00:17:46,114
Why won't it come out?!

223
00:17:46,948 --> 00:17:48,048
I told you...

224
00:17:49,914 --> 00:17:52,414
You can't control the power yet.

225
00:17:55,248 --> 00:17:56,418
Watch carefully.

226
00:17:59,314 --> 00:18:02,644
This is how you go into battle
with your Shadow.

227
00:18:16,581 --> 00:18:17,581
Me too!

228
00:18:18,214 --> 00:18:19,214
That's not necessary.

229
00:18:20,414 --> 00:18:22,144
I will handle this alone.

230
00:18:24,414 --> 00:18:25,074
Understood.

231
00:18:25,514 --> 00:18:27,314
Here I come, small fries!

232
00:19:05,314 --> 00:19:06,314
Wow...

233
00:19:06,481 --> 00:19:07,881
That's the power of the Shadow.

234
00:19:36,014 --> 00:19:40,614
Merge and transformation!
A dream-come-true for all guys!

235
00:19:41,481 --> 00:19:43,151
I really want that!

236
00:19:43,948 --> 00:19:47,178
- So cool! I want it! I want it!
- That's the enemy, you know.

237
00:19:47,214 --> 00:19:49,844
- I want it!
- It's a bad robot.

238
00:19:50,248 --> 00:19:52,218
Not so fast.

239
00:19:53,014 --> 00:19:53,674
- Huh?!
- Huh?!

240
00:19:54,214 --> 00:19:58,474
What fool would just wait
until they finish merging!

241
00:20:00,748 --> 00:20:01,748
The finishing blow!

242
00:20:02,781 --> 00:20:04,581
Hornet Pierce!

243
00:20:21,214 --> 00:20:22,214
Wow...

244
00:20:40,414 --> 00:20:41,674
You made up your mind?

245
00:20:42,614 --> 00:20:43,844
I'm coming with you guys.

246
00:20:44,748 --> 00:20:46,648
But, let me just say this.

247
00:20:47,648 --> 00:20:50,248
I'm not going because you told me to.

248
00:20:51,748 --> 00:20:53,378
It was my decision!

249
00:20:54,914 --> 00:20:55,914
Fine.

250
00:20:57,281 --> 00:20:58,851
Wait!

251
00:20:58,881 --> 00:20:59,881
Kluke...

252
00:21:03,714 --> 00:21:04,944
I made it!

253
00:21:05,448 --> 00:21:09,578
What's this? I told you
I didn't need a send-off.

254
00:21:10,114 --> 00:21:11,674
- But...
- But...

255
00:21:12,114 --> 00:21:13,114
Sheesh!

256
00:21:14,414 --> 00:21:17,314
I'm coming back!
Don't worry!

257
00:21:17,648 --> 00:21:19,618
- Bro!
- Bro!

258
00:21:19,648 --> 00:21:20,648
Don't cry!

259
00:21:21,848 --> 00:21:24,978
How can I leave this village
in the care of crybabies?!

260
00:21:25,581 --> 00:21:26,251
- Huh?!
- Huh?!

261
00:21:27,048 --> 00:21:32,618
Until I return, this village is
in your hands!

262
00:21:34,581 --> 00:21:36,021
- Yes!
- Yes!

263
00:21:38,014 --> 00:21:42,844
Kluke... Take care of them and Gramps.

264
00:21:44,548 --> 00:21:45,548
Nope!

265
00:21:45,881 --> 00:21:46,581
Huh?!

266
00:21:46,614 --> 00:21:48,274
You've got it wrong.

267
00:21:48,814 --> 00:21:52,144
Who said anything about a send-off?

268
00:21:52,514 --> 00:21:53,174
Huh?!

269
00:21:54,481 --> 00:21:55,981
I'm coming too!

270
00:21:56,314 --> 00:21:59,044
Huh? What are you saying?!

271
00:21:59,448 --> 00:22:01,548
- We're not going for fun!
- I've decided!

272
00:22:04,248 --> 00:22:08,748
And so... Please let me come along!

273
00:22:12,314 --> 00:22:13,444
As you please.

274
00:22:14,714 --> 00:22:16,314
Yes!

275
00:22:16,981 --> 00:22:20,381
Hey hey! What's going on?!

276
00:22:21,548 --> 00:22:24,378
Let's go.
We have no time to waste.

277
00:22:24,548 --> 00:22:25,548
Yes!

278
00:22:25,814 --> 00:22:29,744
You should think this over
very carefully.

279
00:22:29,814 --> 00:22:31,144
Besides...

280
00:22:31,181 --> 00:22:33,181
Hey, wait!

281
00:22:33,214 --> 00:22:36,544
- Bro! Take care!
- Bro! Take care!

282
00:22:36,581 --> 00:22:39,381
Hey, are you listening?!

283
00:22:39,581 --> 00:22:41,981
Oh breakfast!
What do you want for breakfast?!

284
00:22:42,014 --> 00:22:44,044
Huh? Oh well...

285
00:22:44,081 --> 00:22:45,421
Shut up and walk!

286
00:24:20,514 --> 00:24:22,414
Shu's rivalry against Jiro...

287
00:24:22,448 --> 00:24:25,718
However, their rivalry develops
into a strong friendship.

288
00:24:26,514 --> 00:24:28,344
Jiro, I can't do it anymore.

289
00:24:28,381 --> 00:24:31,451
Don't give up, Shu!
You sweat the tears of your heart!

290
00:24:31,481 --> 00:24:34,381
Let's run towards that blazing sunset!

291
00:24:34,414 --> 00:24:35,414
Right!

292
00:24:35,448 --> 00:24:36,448
One, two! One, two! One, two!

293
00:24:36,481 --> 00:24:38,781
Next on Blue Dragon:
"Shu and Jiro"
