Original subtitles

Zeiya, Nab, Garu...

The powerful flames of judgement...

Servants of the departed...

I, Fatina, command you...

I am the blaze of wrath...

I am the mistress of the flaming shot!

They've been wiped out...

The reinforcements didn't arrive in time... What a bunch of worthless escorts.

I wonder.

These people were killed by a Kusarakk.

A Kusarakk? A dangerous monster like that, on a low floor like this?

They're coming!

Ten... no, over twenty of them...

What should we do, Neeba?

We'll meet them head on.

We'll need to bring back proof that this caravan was wiped out.

Are you serious?!

This will be a good chance to show your skills as a Guardian.

You are up to it, right, Jil?

W-Where did you come from?!

Here they come!

Leave it to me!

Episode 1

The Great Tower of Druaga

Leave it to me!

Whoa, awesome!

Look out!

Amazing...

Is everyone all right?

Yeah... thanks to you!

Good work, Jil.

I totally underestimated you!

You're the best!

Hey, cut it out...

I'm the hero, Jil.

I'm fighting to defeat the evil Dark Lord Druaga.

Sixty years after the hero Gilgamesh destroyed the Tower of Druaga, it was rebuilt.

In order to defeat the evil god Druaga,

Armies were dispatched again and again...

But they were unable to win.

Then, one day...

The goddess Ishtar appeared.

She bestowed upon me the fate of the Chosen One!

His Majesty Gilgamesh, the hero of ages past, acknowledged my power,

And bestowed upon me his own sword!

The Hero, King Gilgamesh

Here.

Defeat Druaga!

Four allies rallied together to answer this calling.

Jil and Friends

But things didn't start out very smoothly...

Hold it, Jil!

I still haven't accepted you as the hero yet.

Neeba... ?

If you want to be the leader, then face me!

No!

Why not?!

I don't want to fight you!

If you absolutely must fight me...

Then you'll have to defeat me first!

Which is it?!

Bring it on!

Prepare yourself!

Final attack... Sonic Arrow!

Bastard, you think you're so clever... !

W-What?!

I-Impossible...

That's why I said I didn't want to fight...

Also... I don't think "Sonic Arrow" is a very good name to use nowadays.

I've lost.

All right!

And so, my allies gathered together!

Before we departed, I remember there was some romance with the beautiful princess...

It was written in the stars.

After that, the princess and I shared many happy and intimate moments together.

Why are you crying?

Because...

you're heading out to defeat the evil god, aren't you?

You'll probably never return...

I swear I will return.

For the people, for my friends... and most of all, for you...

Oh Jil-sama, I'm so happy!

I've got a great idea.

When I return, let's get married!

Yes, I would love to!

I wanted this moment to last forever.

Countless perils awaited me on my mission.

It was a long, hard road to the country of Isis...

A powerful foe appeared before us!

I am the crimson knight, Black Knight!

The Crimson Knight: Black Knight!

Hero Jil! You shall not pass here!

I will stain the ground with your blood before you can pester Lord Druaga!

W-What did you say?!

Didn't you hear me?

No, I heard you.

Okay! Then prepare yourself!

Hey, Jil...

W-What is it, Utu?

You see... When this battle is over, I'm going back to my hometown to get married.

I see... but why now?

Come on, let's kick his ass!

Ah, Utu!

Utu!!

Utu has died.

Now it's your turn.

Utu said...

Utu said he was going to run a bread shop in his hometown...

Huh?! When?

And yet... and yet... !

Prepare yourself, Dark Knight!

It's Black Knight!

Secret Attack! Soniiiiii...

T-This is... !

Blade!

W-What?!

Not bad. Now, finish me off!

W-Why don't you kill me... ?

I finally understand...

Your blade is filled with sadness.

I cannot bring myself to kill someone who knows the sorrow of battle.

You...

Hone your skills, Great Knight.

It's Black Knight...

Then, let us fight again, man to man!

Unbelievable...

There were incidents like that, but I did not lose heart...

Because...

The blessing of the princess, whom I loved...

...was always by my side.

Jil-sama, please come back safely...

And then... ten years passed.

Let's go, everyone!

Everyone, follow me!

Fatina!

Roper

Fatina's been captured! Let's rescue her!

Wait...

Neeba, why are you stopping me?!

Look!

Ahh... no!

What about it?

Just watch closely!

Okay...

We've got to save her... !

Not yet!

It's just getting good!

N-Not yet?!

Wait, just a little longer!

N-Noooo!

Hey! How long are you gonna watch, you perverts?!

Okay everyone. Attack.

That was close, Fatina.

It was nothing, really!

But inside the Tower, even more dangerous foes awaited us.

You fools dare defy Lord Druaga?

You shall proceed no further!

Quokks

Oh crap!

Kally!

Are you kidding me...

Kally has died.

Damn you!

Take this!

I won't lose!

Oh, no!

Now you die...

I can't believe you're having trouble here, Hero Jil.

You're Dark Knight...

Dark Knight

It's Black Knight!

Black Knight (Ally)

Why did you save me?

The one to defeat you will be me.

I'm not about to let a Quokks steal my kill.

You...

And Jil, there's one more thing I must tell you.

What?

When this battle is over...

I plan to return to my hometown and get married.

TABOO

But if you say that...

There's no time for dillydallying. Come on...

Black Night has died.

You're next...

Damn you...

Damn you!

What?! What is this power?!

This sword, could it be... ?!

Thank you, Dark Knight!

Your death has awakened the heroic power that was hidden within me.

Rest in peace, for eternity...

Black Knight (100,065 years old)

The Quokks was defeated...

Hmph! How useless...

Hero Jil...

One, two...

By the Three Knights of Druaga, shall be defeated!

The azure knight, Blue Knight!

I am the silver knight, Mirror Knight!

The elite knight, Hyper Knight!

For good measure, the crimson knight, Red Knight!

The Three Knights, the strongest of Druaga's army.

They were waiting for us in the Tower!

of DRUAGA

The Three Knights

ANNIHILATED

Wow... it was in a place like this...

Let's go! We're almost at the top floor!

Oh no! Pursuers!

What should we do... ?

I'll take them on!

You guys go on ahead!

But, Neeba!

They'll catch up to us at this rate! Hurry--

Jil...

What are you...

I'm sorry.

From this point on it is my own battle.

I... don't get... it...

Wait for me here, Neeba...

Neeba was left behind.

Jil...

Hey, Jil...

Do you really think you can defeat Druaga?

I don't know...

But I've got to try!

I don't want anyone else to die...

It's impossible! You'll be killed!

You don't stand a chance!

Fatina...

Let's run away! Let's go to a faraway land and live there, just the two of us!

Because, Jil, I... !

It's okay...

A miracle will happen.

Jil... ?

I've got a great idea!

When this battle is over, let's get married!

Really?! I'm so happy!

Jil-sama...

The Princess (Ancient History)

Evil...

Eeevil...

T-This is the evil god... Druaga!

The Evil God Druaga

What a sinister appearance!

So cramped...

I see you've made it this far, hero Jil...

I'll crush you with my bare hands!

It talks...

Try it if you dare! I will punish you!

Before that, I must tell you something.

Jil... I am your father!

No! I don't want to call this thing my father-in-law!

But...

Now, Jil... can you kill your own father?

Do it, Jil!

One more thing... when this battle is over, I plan to get remarried in my hometown!

Take this nasty life form, beat the stuffing, tar,

And daylights out of him, and toss him out with the trash.

Take him out Jil!

Look!

Listen when I'm talking to you!

You disappoint me, Jil!

You're the innkeeper!

The Innkeeper (54, Single)

Illustration of Beer Bash

Why are you... ?

Stand up, Jil! I'll be the one who defeats you!

Out of the way!

Innkeeper!

How could you...

How could you!

Hero Jil: Final Form

Now you've made me angry!

Prepare yourself!

Druaga!

D-Damn you!

Take this, dark god!

The legendary hammer... which I received from His Majesty!

Go to Hell!

Damn you!

Take this!

Druaga Beam!

T-This is the end...

Am I going to die like this... ?

I'm sorry, Princess...

I don't think I can keep our promise...

It is too soon to give up...

That voice is... the goddess Ishtar?!

You have friends, don't you?

Even now, they are by your side...

Friends... !

Fatina, Neeba! Kally! And...

I forgot his name but he's one of my friends!

It's Utu!

Dark Knight! Innkeeper! Red Knight, Quokks, Roper, Slime! And the villagers, and the king...

Everyone... they're all here to lend me their strength?

They are all here to support you. So... don't give up.

That's right... I have friends!

As long as this light shines, I will never lose!

Resistance is futile!

Everyone's power...

Everyone's feelings are bound in this sword...

Just try and survive this, Druaga!

I did it...

Innkeeper...

And so, peace was restored to the world once again.

The end.

Uh, Huh?

You awake, newcomer?

Um... where's Druaga? And the Three Knights, and the princess...

You're still half asleep? You were knocked out from the very beginning!

Knocked out?

It was... a dream?

Thanks to you, our formation was ruined... we've finally managed to escape!

You're so useless! I can't believe it!

It's a dead end!

What are you gonna do, newcomer? You know...!

They have us cornered!

Damn... !

This sucks!

Where are we... ?

The Tower.

Tower? You mean...

What are you saying? Isn't it obvious?!

The Tower of Druaga!

Episode 2 - Meskia, the City in the Tower

Jil here. I've been fired already.

I have no money. I have no girlfriend, either.

It's a long road to becoming a hero.

Next time, "Meskia, the City in the Tower".

This city doesn't even have a Hello Work...
