Original subtitles

During a war, a handful of warriors nearly obliterated the Imperial Army.

They were called the Ninku Unit.

The empire was barely able to defeat them,

so they set out to subdue the unit in fear of their powers.

Few even know about the real Ninku anymore.

Don't!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Hold it!

Give her back! Give my mommy back!

Sorry, kiddo.

If you got a problem with what I'm doing, grow strong.

Mom!

Just a dream.

You all right?

That must've been some nightmare, Fuusuke.

I had a dream about my mom.

To think Fuusuke's mom...

is the one and only person to possess true Feng Shui powers.

I never had a clue.

She had a strange crystal ball. That's about all I remember.

She told me off the one time I tried to touch it.

Let's get going.

It's almost daybreak!

Right.

Wh-What's going on?

We're leaving.

Well, give me an update on the construction.

Yes, sir!

The work has been going on day and night, and we're almost back on schedule now.

The construction of the Dragon's Lair Tower is essentially complete.

All that remains is a small part of the giant board design for the middle section.

As we expect the fugitive Ninku to interfere with the completion of the tower,

we've installed three Megalo Cannons on top of the tower to counter them.

Moreover, we've deployed triple the usual forces around the Capital to surround them.

At this point, no one should be able to damage the tower,

no matter how powerful they are.

I know you're listening...

Alec-sama.

Are you going to let him go?

I couldn't care less.

Let me go!

Let me through!

I'm General Daion, for crying out loud!

Why do you only follow Kouchin's orders?

Say something!

Let go!

That's enough.

Please bear with us, Alec-sama.

Archbishop Kouchin has strictly forbidden you from leaving the castle.

Alec-sama, please wait!

What's that light?

Who's there?

Fuusuke!

Fuusuke?

Miss...

You know Fuusuke?

You're...

I'm Alec Eli Tonho Daion.

Daion?

I see.

You met Fuusuke at the Imperial Capital?

Yeah.

Fuusuke and I are friends.

Kouchin is just evil, though.

I can't believe he's holding you captive here.

Keep your spirits up, Miss.

I'm sure Fuusuke's on his way.

Fuusuke's really strong.

I'm sure he'll save you and this nation of ours from Kouchin's clutches.

Thank you, Alec-sama.

A-Alec-sama!

Miss.

I'll be back later!

What the hell is that?

Those sure are some ominous clouds concentrated over there.

The Capital lies beyond the hill.

What's wrong, Rihoko?

Oh man, I've got a broken shoelace.

That's not a good sign. What's going to happen to us?

You too? What's wrong?

The string on my loincloth split.

Rihoko, you should wait here with Hiroyuki.

Fat chance! Not after I came all the way here!

As if I'd believe in that silly loincloth jinx of yours!

Looks like we won't be able to leave you here anyway.

Wh-What?

Fucking Imperial Army.

They're here!

I thought as much. We're close to the Capital.

They won't let us through without a fight.

Rihoko, hop on!

They're coming.

Go!

Riddle them with all the bullets you've got!

Air Pressure Soaring Fist!

Hiroyuki!

Take Rihoko!

Air Snake Palm!

Air Shuriken!

Wind Pressure Palm!

Sky Wing Rend!

Aichou, watch your left!

Air Desert!

Now's our chance. Let's hurry and break through!

Okay.

Hiroyuki!

Prepare to launch the second shot!

Mobile Corps, Second Battalion, advance!

I thought I was a goner.

You all right?

I didn't see that coming.

If we'd been a moment slower, we'd be toast.

Ninku spotted! They're unscathed!

Get the Megalo Cannon ready to fire another shot!

Mobile Corps, surround them!

Load the Megalo Cannon!

Damn, they're coming again!

There's no end to this!

Not to mention we've got a cannon aiming at us from far away.

Touji, can't you use your Air Snake Cave to create a tunnel

and get us out of here?

I can't!

There are too many of them. I won't make it through carrying all of you.

Guess we got no choice.

I'll lure them so the rest of you can escape.

Wh-Why is the ground shaking?

Over there!

What's that?

Is that what I think it is?

The A101 Land Battleship?!

Didn't we destroy that thing once before?

What'll we do? They're coming from both sides!

Is that Ajirada?

When did he rejoin the Imperial Army?

We're done for!

Wait.

Aim for the missile coming from the Megalo Cannon.

Adjust the elevation angle.

That voice...

Fire!

That's gotta be Ajirada.

Heavy armored vehicles, move out!

They bear the General's crest.

Does that mean...

It's been some time, gentlemen.

Yeah!

What?

Call the HQ! Stat!

Yes, sir!

I'm moving out as well.

Understood, Ajirada-sama.

What do you think?

This is the complete version of the Land Battleship! Impressed?

Y-You're...

Greetings, everyone.

'Tis I, the Imperial Army's top genius scientist, Gauni.

And joining me is...

Oh, uh, I'm...

S-Soukan!

Yeah!

There will be no turning back from what you have now set in motion.

All to serve your ambitions...

Or rather, to take your revenge, Hakuyou!

Hakuyou?

I haven't gone by that name in 25 years.

Who could've known the little girl back then

would possess the power to unleash the Dragon's Lair?

Your wishes will not come to pass.

Humans cannot control nature, no matter how powerful they are.

The Tenkuu Dragon will bring you to ruin

and take countless invaluable lives in the process.

Why do you have so much trepidation?

There's no limit to human power.

I shall obtain that power this time, without fail.

Neither you nor your Ninku son will be able to stop me.

All energy is certain to flow here to the Dragon's Lair Tower,

as long as we have you and your Crystal Jade here.

Send Colonel Mekira to me.

Yes, sir!

Old man Anchovy Tartare, did you come to help us?

Don't get the wrong idea.

As a soldier, I've dedicated my life to serving the best interests of the Imperial Army.

My vow still stands.

We just happen to share an objective this time around.

Let's go!

Oh, warriors of the Ninku!

Hey, it's the old man from the General's court!

We cannot allow a traitor like Kouchin to throw his weight around as he wishes!

Furthermore, we must rescue Alec, or rather, General Daion as soon as possible!

Yeah!

We're about to head over there, and we'll make sure to save Alec.

I beseech you.

Let's get going.

Yeah!

Hold up, folks.

You can take this.

Oh! Is that my...

Hindenbreeze?

Indeed.

I saw it left abandoned on our path, so I took the liberty of fixing it.

Well, it also helped us in tracking you guys down too.

Hey, are you even listening?

Have you been all right, my beloved Hinden-chan?

Why, this...

What's wrong?

I'm not sure what's going on. He installed so many switches!

H-Hey, are you sure you can fly this thing?

Yeah.

This one should...

Hey, don't go blowing us up here.

All right. This should be it.

Is this the best you can do?!

Don't you die, Fuusuke.

Onward!

Ajirada and the General's court have risen in revolt, and they're now headed this way.

All men, move out and exterminate them!

I have arrived, Archbishop Kouchin.

What is this urgent matter you speak of?

I hear you're searching for the Ninku who killed your parents.

Yes, sir.

However, I understand that there are higher priorities at the moment.

That's reassuring to hear.

To this day, I've held your abilities in high regard.

Of course, your performance has lived up to my expectations.

And today is the day I intend to realize my longtime dream.

You will lend me your strength, yes?

Yes, sir.

Today, Fuusuke's mother, Yamabuki,

will be placed in the barriered jail on top of the Dragon's Lair Tower as a sacrifice.

When that happens, this Crystal Jade here will be needed to summon the Tenkuu Dragon.

Your job is to hold on to this and conduct the ceremony under my direction.

Sir!

What is it?

Camus?

The three fugitive Ninku have broken through the blockade.

They're on their way here!

What's wrong, Camus?

Calm down.

I'm counting on you.

I see.

Father! Mother!

We're almost there.

The fog keeps getting thicker.

I can hardly see a thing!

Watch it!

Is that the Dragon's Lair Tower?

Must be.

It looks creepy and desolate. Not a soul in sight.

Not quite, actually!

Let's head toward that castle!

Where could Mom be?

Mom!

Fuusuke...

Mom!

At last, Fuusuke and friends have infiltrated the Imperial Army's main stronghold.

But unbeknownst to them, the Dragon's Lair Tower has already been completed,

its towering height reaching the skies amid an ominous silence.

Can they put an end to Kouchin's ambitions and save Fuusuke's mother Yamabuki in time?

This is bad!

They took my mom to the Dragon's Lair Tower!

Damn.

I don't have much time to spare.

Otherwise, Kouchin will make use of my mom's powers

and put our country in grave peril!

Let's hurry, everyone!
