Original subtitles

Damn it! We have no choice but to stop them ourselves!

Well, just calm down.

Is this your first time fighting monsters?

What?

Hey! It's dangerous!

[yells]

Burst Form!

Those guys… aren't they recruits?

Yeah.

[yelling]

[yelling]

[tuts] There's no end to it!

Looks like only the four of us here can fight properly.

Urabe!

[reporter 1] There are kaiju!

A huge number of kaiju are rushing towards the ordinary civilians,

who have lost their place to go after the bridge was destroyed!

[line ringing]

[Masamune] Eigen!

Hey, you guys okay?

[Masamune] Help us! There are so many kaiju--

[Duster 1] What's wrong?

[Duster 2] Huh? What's wrong with him?

I beg all of you!

Please lend me your strength!

H-Hey, come on now!

It's as you can see!

Someone from the Ranger Force is bowing his head!

Yeah… I don't get what's going on.

But… this doesn't feel…

-…at all! -…at all!

-Guys! You're all safe! -Eigen!

-[Yae] I was scared, Big Brother! -[Eigen] I'm sorry I worried you all.

[all exclaiming]

All right! Let's do this!

[♪ quirky music playing]

Humans!

Walk over us to get to the other side!

The monsters…

Can we trust them?

Let's trust them!

There's no time to hesitate. Let's go!

You're right, let's go!

Quick, hurry up!

-Thank you! -Sorry!

Thank you!

What's happening?

You guys, too, hurry up and run!

-But… -But…

Don't worry.

You know, right?

Your big brother is strong!

-Okay! -Okay!

All right, get going!

We're in your debt.

[student] Help!

[Yukino] Watch out!

[grunts, chortles]

Shippou!

Wrong!

I am the final and strongest secret weapon of the Ranger Force…

the sixth warrior, the White Keeper!

-All right, you should run! -O-Okay!

White Keeper?

I called him over just in case.

We exchanged contacts, after all.

This communication monster…

Still, that's a great help.

[Urabe] He's an idiot, but he's the strongest.

Let's go!

We'll fight and grasp hope with our own hands.

That's what we were taught to do!

Citizens are crossing to the other side using the bridge formed by the monsters.

We've confirmed the sight of the Rangers heading towards the kaiju!

Please win, guys.

[Ranmaru] I'm sure you must also be there right now,

fighting for your beliefs.

Don't you lose either, Fighter D!

[panting]

How wonderful.

Humans and monsters working together.

It's the ideal appearance.

Let us achieve it together.

An ideal society where humans and monsters can co-exist, in the real sense, that is!

-We refuse! -We refuse!

Your methods are so nasty that it's creeping me out.

Being a monster doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!

I see.

In that case, disappear.

[blasts]

-[gasps] -[grunting]

[laughs]

[laughs]

A punch of justice! White Punch!

[Deathmecia] Did you do something?

[grunts]

Shippou!

That's too insane.

There's no way we can win against something like that!

[grunting]

[gasps]

[panting]

Usukubo?

You look all beaten up!

[panting]

You've come, Angel.

Fulfill your mission.

[gasps, whimpers]

I will… fulfill my mission!

Stop, Usukubo!

-Stop! -Stop!

-Usukubo! -Stop!

[♪ ominous music playing]

-[bodies thumping] -[groaning]

Well done, Angel.

[Usukubo] This euphoria…

I can feel his love for me…

[Yamato groaning] U-Usukubo…

Wh-Why…

I'm sorry, Kurusu.

Become the pain that will connect humans and monsters.

Why… did you help me…

-[gasping] -Back then…

You'll be fine, Kurusu.

Hold the bird over your head!

You protected me.

[♪ dramatic music playing]

[voice] What… are you doing?

Why are you hesitating?

[Usukubo] The rift between humans and monsters cannot be buried easily.

[voice] We need to… let them know more pain.

You must kill him.

Kill him!

[Usukubo] Father… He…

Can't we just turn a blind eye to the surface-dwellers?

[Usukubo] Once we defeat the Dragon Keepers,

it would be more than enough to demonstrate our strength.

I'm sure the world will understand.

We can work together!

Angel, is this what you want?

Yes! It's my--

In that case, shut your mouth.

There is no value in hearing your opinion.

What are you doing?

She's your child!

[Deathmecia] She's not my real daughter.

[Usukubo] What?

Do not side with the monsters!

[Deathmecia] Ostracized and having fallen into despair,

I met my fateful monster…

someone by the name of Julimerida.

However, our time of happiness did not last long.

High-ranking monsters have the ability to take human skins

and use their mimicry ability to turn into a human, but…

[♪ dramatic music playing]

[Deathmecia] …at the brink of death and in an extremely weakened state,

they can only use a portion of their ability.

What… do you mean?

I… I…

You're just a vessel, so don't get carried away.

[whimpers]

[Deathmecia] I've been talking to the Julimerida inside of you.

Don't you know there are things you can and can't say to your child as a parent?

I don't get what's going on,

but does this mean she lost the parent gacha?

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[both grunting]

[both groaning]

Guys--

[Deathmecia] Remember, Angel.

What is your mission?

Demonstrate what you have been allowed to live for.

[Deathmecia] Human or monster?

For whose sake do you live for?

[gasping]

[Julimerida] Monster… I'm a monster.

I don't know. But, if Father says so…

[Hisui] Found you.

-[Usukubo] Hisui… -[laughs]

How dare you leave marks on a maiden's body?

I'll make you pay for that!

Usukubo, are you still going with the other side?

[Usukubo] I… don't know if I can continue to believe Father.

[Julimerida] What are you talking about, Angel?

You don't need to concern yourself about the complicated stuff.

Listen to your father.

[Usukubo] Shut up!

I don't know anything about Father.

But…

[Usukubo] from what I saw of his feelings towards the monsters,

I can feel that his love is genuine.

So tell me…

what we… What I've done…

It'll all be a stepping-stone to save the lives of monsters, right?

That's right. From there, true equality will…

[yells]

[Usukubo] Everything is for the sake of the monsters…

No!

At the very least, that monster didn't want this to happen!

[moans]

All right!

I defeated the fake Deathmecia!

-Fighter D's alive! -I knew it!

-He's alive! -I'm the strongest!

[Hisui strains] So tough!

So even a Divine Artifact won't work on him.

Then there's no choice but to go with that strategy!

Hey, Red! Are you sure it's okay for the almighty hero of justice

to stay lying on the ground pathetically like this?

Shut up.

[announcer] I-I can't believe this!

A fighter delivered a powerful punch to Deathmecia!

Could it be an internal conflict?

In any case, what courage from a dependable fighter!

[Red Keeper] I'm the protagonist!

Yakushi Usukubo!

Let me ascertain your love towards the Dragon Keepers.

Which episode of the tokusatsu version of The Dragon Keepers

do you think is the best?

It's episode 35, "Dragon Keepers Defeated! The Last Remaining Hope."

I think so, too!

[♪ dramatic music playing]

Don't get violent!

[crew member 1] Head out to save the Rangers at the bridge!

[crew member 2] Understood!

All right, Usukubo, it's you.

[Fighter D] Don't let other people control your wheel!

All right, then. I'm sorry, but…

[Fighter D] I'm going to take down your father.

I'll teach that fake monster how scary the real one is.

[Usukubo] Sakurama…

[Usukubo] Has it always been like this?

For your own sake, you…

Before I knew it, I couldn't hear the voice inside my heart.

Right now, my emotions are so high that they're canceling out any noise.

[♪ rousing music playing]

How dare you fight back?

Are you saying that you won't do as I say?

Stop being sulky!

[Red Keeper] You remind me of my younger sister in her rebellious phase!

[Red Keeper] Wait, was that right?

I should have a younger sister…

So you're finally being obedient?

Let me see your power!

[♪ rousing music continues]

This is my true power.

Bow down, Deathmecia!

Foreshadowing.

Deathmecia can read an opponent's attack and avoid it!

[both yelling]

Beep. Pause.

Aim for the horns, Red!

[gasps, yells]

[Red Keeper] That woman…

[♪ music fades]

-[clattering] -Whoa…

Isn't it hard to walk with that leg?

I'll support you, so…

could you take me along?

To your military rule of world domination, that is.

-What? -Huh?

Someday, you will also have an encounter with a monster you call fate.

[Usukubo] Yeah, I've met him.

Fighter D, you're my fateful one.

-What are you talking about? -[chuckles]

[Hisui] Leave the flirting for later.

Well, shall we begin Operation Subjugate Deathmecia?

[Green Keeper laughs]

You look like you're asking, "Why does he know about the horns?"

That's because…

I'm a brilliant informant!

[crashes]

Take this!

[groaning]

[panting]

[laughs weakly]

Bring him back to the headquarters of the Society.

This is what we need to do, right, Hisui?

Well then, let's do this!

The power of his ability has increased?

Huh?

You're a fan of the tokusatsu, but you don't know about that?

The more dangerous the situation a hero is in,

the more powerful they become.

[Yellow Keeper] I'm leaving it to you, Pink.

[Deathmecia] This is strange.

It feels like this string of attacks wasn't meant to defeat me

but to lure me somewhere.

Don't tell me…

[♪ dramatic music playing]

[Deathmecia] You won't get your way!

Ame no Fuyu Kinu no Kami!

Ame no Tajikarao no Kami!

[rumbles]

Whoa… Good work.

[Pink Keeper] Hibi… ki…

[Deathmecia] I knew it.

It's true that if you trap me inside this room,

I will not be able to leave even with my powers.

But…

You're short of one move.

With powers of your caliber, you can hardly even make me budge…

Take this!

Take this! Break!

[screams]

Aim for the horns?

That's right.

In the tokusatsu version of The Dragon Keepers,

Deathmecia was designed such that it would weaken if its horns were broken.

[Chidori] If he's a real fan,

-it's possible that… -Take this!

[beeps]

I'll acknowledge it.

You're the number-one monster devotee!

Close it!

Do it!

I'm sorry.

[♪ dramatic music intensifies]

[♪ music fades]

Are you trying to buy time?

No, we're ending this today.

[Fighter D] Yakushi Usukubo, you will die here.

I'll die, you say?

Father, why do you still have memories of being a human?

[Usukubo] Using two monster transformation drugs overwrites your entire personality,

and you will be reborn as a complete monster.

[Usukubo] Didn't you explain that yourself?

Despite that, how is it that you can still be yourself?

[Hisui] You didn't inject the drug completely.

If what Usukubo said is true,

then that means your human side has been retained.

No matter how much you look up to monsters,

[Usukubo] you couldn't abandon your memories of Mother.

[Deathmecia] And what about that?

Even if I couldn't completely transform into a monster, you cannot kill me.

I'll say it one more time.

You will die.

How?

From starvation.

[gasps]

We couldn't find a way to defeat you.

That's why we'll starve you to death.

One of the differences between humans and monsters…

[Usukubo] Father, I'm sure you know, right?

Sorry, but we're the best when it comes to not dying.

We'll watch over you until you kick the bucket.

I'm sorry, Julimerida…

You want to fight?

Let's not do it.

Even though I'm incomplete,

my body is almost completely that of a monster.

There is still a very long time left until my life comes to an end.

I'll be happy to have a conversation partner.

Sure, that's fine. Talk to me.

I'll hear you out all you want.

That's a fan's dream come true.

[Peltrola] The Monster Protection Society is done for.

Come with me.

I'm very sorry.

I will walk alongside humans.

[Peltrola] I see.

You do know what will happen if you go against me, right?

[Sakurama] It'll be fine!

I promise to protect you, no matter what!

Hold up!

[Chakobr] He's the hero who saved us!

[Yakekokab] We won't let you lay a finger on him!

XX…

[Peltrola] since you let go of my hand,

I look forward to seeing the end that awaits you.

The devil celebrating equality has disappeared.

[Red Keeper] The scales of equality are always tilted.

There, conflict ensues.

Conflicts will never disappear.

New enemies will likely continue to appear.

And that's what we're here for!

We swear that we will continue to protect everyone.

[Sakurama] The Dragon Keepers are full of imposters.

The Ranger Force is fake.

The monsters are fake, too.

Let us return it to its real appearance.

I will correct all of the fakes.

It's time for the Ranger Force to rise up once again!

-Red! Red! Red… -Red! Red! Red…

[beeps]

Hey.

Welcome back, D.

Well then, shall we begin again?

Go! Go! Loser Ranger!
