Original subtitles

Oh-ho... It's great to see your enthusiasm,

but you won't be able to even scratch me with that dull blade.

Do it, Sakurama!

Have a taste of the gadget made by the cadet you killed!

Burst Form!

Go! Go! Loser Ranger!

That form's overpowered!

Even a boss monster wouldn't escape unscathed!

You mustn't let your guard down.

Sakurama!

Are you all right?

No way. How are they still alive?

Crap! They escaped by a hair's breadth!

So you truly intend to betray us, D.

I've never seen that form before. Let me take a look.

- Yikes! Here you go! - Woah!

Huh?

Sakurama! It's dangerous to do that out of nowhere!

Never mind that! Please keep passing it around!

Their laser takes time to charge! Anyone will do.

The one that manages to get within close range will finish them off!

What a reckless and naive plan.

I'm in!

Hey! I didn't agree to this...

Yukino! You have to get closer!

As if I can, stupid! Die!

Sakurama!

I knew it wouldn't work!

What?

Yukino! One-two!

Let's go!

Jeez. Okay, fine!

Here you go!

Do it!

These guys are amazing!

No wonder they managed to survive as cadets!

This is the end, boss monster!

It's time you learn how superior we humans are!

Go to hell, you damn bastard!

I'll start with you first.

Above you, Yukino!

Woah!

What...

I-Ishikawa!

Get away!

Damn it, I forgot that the clones exist...

You're trembling.

No need to worry, everyone's going to the same place as you.

All right! Four more left now!

Don't let your guard down yet, Tokita!

You moron... Nadeshiko!

As you wish. Lovely! Hearty!

Panacea!

Recovery? No, that's regeneration.

Help me out, Suzukiri!

Roger. Beep! Fast-Forward.

To think that a mere Junior First Rank can come this far. Interesting!

I shall bury you with all of my power!

Looks like they're finally getting motivated. In that case...

Tokita! Give them one big blast as a greeting!

Jeez, don't order me around.

Where are you aiming...

Beep. Pause.

She stopped her own ally's attack?

I'm digging in.

I can't eat any more. I'm leaving the rest to you!

Then, these fire dragons...

It's a barricade.

We wouldn't want you to destroy this place any further.

I'm counting on you, old man!

Lovely! Hearty! Full Swing!

That was too much!

That defeated the purpose of putting up a barricade!

That was an opponent I could not afford to go easy on, after all.

We should have taken care of most of them.

Now then...

I can't help you out openly, but I can at least let one of you escape.

To think that there's a survivor...

It's a given that she would detest the Rangers.

Divine Artifact, Manifest. Pink Dragon Naga!

My way of thanking you for what you did to my parents and my legs,

boss monster Peltrola.

Reporting in, Pink Keeper!

It appears that we have multiple casualties underground.

I'm worried.

Blue's Junior First Rank survived,

but other members of the Blue Squadron have lost their lives...

I couldn't care less about those trash.

I'm sorry?

Why isn't it connecting?

Hibiki... Please stay safe!

Peltrola... You're pathetic.

You abandoned the fortress and your subordinates,

and even resorted to such underhanded means...

Is this how a boss monster, who stands above us, is supposed to act?

Let me go!

If you're planning to use me as a hostage, then too bad!

I won't be your shield!

We're not here to make friends!

Is that so? In that case...

Please wait!

Hmm?

We surrender.

What?

Let's throw away the gadgets.

Are you serious, Sakurama?

I'm sure you understand what our priority should be at this moment.

Yeah, you're right.

I don't get it myself either.

Before I met you guys...

Would I have done the same thing before I came here?

Hold up!

If we throw away our weapons before a boss monster,

there's no way we're not getting killed!

I see...

Sorry, but I'm not going along with that!

Akebayashi! Are you escaping by yourself?

We don't have a choice. Urabe and Shion, please hand them over.

No way! I'm doing this even if I'm alone!

Otherwise, Ranmaru wouldn't be able to rest in peace!

Calm down.

Sakurama. Are you sure about this?

Yes.

Damn it!

Please let us go with this, boss monster.

That's rather decisive of you.

You think I'll back down with just this?

If you don't, we'll just fight until we die.

That's ridiculous, don't you think?

Go, that pipe leads to the surface!

There is no need to lament.

The fact that you stopped fighting is a huge improvement.

Once we've conquered this world,

we shall take good care of you foolish surface-dwellers.

Ishikawa?

Excuse me. I couldn't help myself after hearing such happy-go-lucky remarks.

You still have the energy to talk nonsense?

In that case, I shall grant you salvation first.

I see.

Now I get why Sakurama wants to surrender.

You guys made the right choice.

Yukino managed to land a blow.

Darn, it's out of energy!

But it's too late now!

No, it isn't!

You little...

Sorry to keep everyone waiting! The hero always arrives late!

This is better, right?

That is exactly how a cadet, the archenemy of monsters, should be!

It's the same no matter how many more people are here!

Everyone's Dragon Gadgets!

You should have surrendered without a fight.

It was foolish to abandon your weapons!

You'll be fine, Kurusu. Hold the bird over your head!

Foolish surface-dwellers!

Throw it, Usukubo!

No need for weapons.

All I need is this fist of mine!

For the sake of a peaceful world, bow down to me!

No one's gonna listen to you. We're all too busy with our own problems.

Bleh.

All that fancy talk won't change anything. We'll continue to fight.

Because there are things we can only grasp by winning.

Mimicry? Then where are the real ones?

D! You betrayed...

I don't need your help anymore.

I wonder if I managed to act a little more like a hero at the very end.

Ishikawa... We did it.

We defeated the monster.

And it's a boss monster.

That wouldn't just make us official Rangers.

We're as good as Dragon Keepers!

We did great as the Rangers.

What a tragic end.

This isn't the end for me yet.

My enemies are... the Dragon Keepers.

Today's casualties caused by monsters stand at 350 people,

an increase from last week.

Experts believe that the number will continue to increase,

and thus the authorities are working to further...

Hello.

What's up?

The cash transport vehicle should be arriving anytime soon.

Are you all prepared?

This shit isn't worth preparing for.

All right, shall we get to work?

Let's make this quick before the cops get here.

Good evening.

Who are you guys?

Those look heavy.

Leave the heavy-lifting work to us, and go take a nap!

Woah, awesome! This is a whole lot of money!

Mr. Kamiya's tip is perfect!

Let's follow him for the rest of our lives!

- Yeah! - Hey.

You guys shouldn't fully trust that old man...

Wait!

Where the evil of this world stirs,

you shall find us protecting justice!

The Red Keeper of the Divine Dragon Rangers: the Dragon Keepers

makes his entrance!

- Let's grab those and head back quickly. - Got it.

This is important, so I shall repeat myself! Wait!

You sure we can ignore him?

He's from the Rangers.

The real one wouldn't bother with us.

We don't have the time to deal with some cosplay dude.

Sorry, but I'm the real deal.

You do know that stealing someone else's money is bad, right?

I shall judge all the evildoings in this world!

This is how we make a living! As if I'll let you judge us!

Take this!

You have a stout build.

It'll do the world a good deed if someone like you joins the Rangers.

I'm not interested in fixing this world.

The more chaotic this world, the better it is for scamps like us!

Huh?

Seriously? Things are just getting exciting.

Aoshima!

Something else came up.

You guys better not misbehave again.

Do that again and I'll punish you for real!

Damn it! What's his deal?

What's so funny?

Can you guess what this is?

Cheers to you courageous youths!

Cheers!

Is this really okay, Mr. Kamiya?

I think we've definitely crossed the line yesterday.

Don't worry, I've already made the perfect alibis.

We can prove that you guys were at a completely different place at the time.

- Wow! You're really awesome, Mr. Kamiya! - Amazing!

Red Keeper... That damn bastard. How dare he act like he's justice!

Woah! Playing games by yourself, Shougo? That's so sad.

Wakaba. Didn't you quit this place for a daytime job?

I did, but the company went out of business

because of monster-related problems, so I'm back here.

There are many others like me.

Come drink, Aoshima!

It wouldn't be surprising if the world were to end tomorrow,

so let's use up all our fortune!

- I'm going home. - Huh? What?

Come on! Are you serious?

What's wrong with him?

Don't worry about it. It happens all the time.

Apparently, saving money is his hobby.

Sorry to make you do this all the time, Shougo.

This is more than the usual amount.

Should I not ask where you got them from?

Yeah. If I tell you, you'll transform.

I've had enough of dealing with Dragon Keepers.

Damn brat!

I don't even need to transform to deal with an amateur like you!

Don't look down on this Blue Keeper!

I'm not here as the Blue Keeper of the Rangers.

I'm managing this facility in my personal capacity.

In these times, children with no one to turn to will only increase.

As Blue, I have to deal with the monsters, the root of all this.

So, I'll turn a blind eye to any mischief caused by our facility graduates.

Hah! Hard to believe that you're an ally of justice.

I'm no ally of justice.

I simply want to side with the kids living here.

Even someone like you is a hero to these kids.

Um, big brother. Thank you for all you do.

Don't be dumb.

I can no longer walk on the sunny side of the street.

I'm just a scumbag who will probably die in a ditch somewhere.

No point playing dumb now.

We received a report from the Ranger Force Headquarters.

Damn you!

Fine, but I'm the only one you identified.

You don't have proof to show that those guys were at the same place!

That's right.

Those guys are suspected of robbery, murder,

and abandonment of a corpse that occurred at another place at the same time.

Kamiya!

The fingerprints and shoeprints left on the crime scene

are a perfect match to theirs.

That was unfortunate.

But you managed to earn some, so it's all good.

Screw you. Why did you set them up?

It's common sense to throw away the small fries once they're useless.

After all, idiots tend to say unnecessary things

if they get carried away.

Damn you. You planned to do this from the very start!

I see some promise only in you,

so I made sure that you'll get out after five years or so.

Let's work together again.

Screw you!

Not very obedient, are you?

Don't surface-dwellers have a rule saying that you get punished

if you do something bad?

Be a good boy and follow the rule!

Damn... it...

Am I... still alive?

I see you're awake.

That voice... You're Red Keeper!

Quiet down. Things are just getting exciting.

Because I have to protect my precious allies!

Humans become stronger when we fight for someone's sake!

Unlike you monsters who go on a rampage for your own satisfaction!

Good things never grow old.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Shougo Aoshima.

Seems like you were having some trouble.

Shut up! Everything turned into a mess because you butted in...

Calm down, now. Still acting like a mad dog, aren't you?

Many citizens fall into traps set by monsters, just like you.

I guess a chaotic world is inconvenient for scamps too.

Damn it! Just throw me into a cell already!

Calm down.

You have two choices.

Either you take the path of the villain,

where you'll accept your punishment in a dark and confined room,

or you take the path of the righteous hero,

where you'll punish the monster who tricked you with your own hands.

You're asking me to join the Rangers again?

What a load of crap.

You're half-right, but you have the potential to aim even higher.

Truth be told,

Blue Keeper was gravely injured while you were asleep.

That one's a goner.

I can't use him anymore.

You're lying. No way!

Can you forgive that dastardly monster?

You wish to avenge your allies

and the person who took care of you, right?

The power of the Dragon Gods will grant your wish!

Shougo Aoshima. You are the new Blue Keeper!

I don't need allies anymore.

If I were to be alone from the very beginning,

then I wouldn't feel lonely.

Damn it... There's too many of them!

Blue Keeper!

Konno!

Konno!

You're safe...

T-Take this... It's my cartridge.

Konno!

Isn't this the same as before?

Because of my incompetence, my allies are...

No, I won't make the same mistake!

I will protect him!

We got interrupted.

There's no need to be sad.

Soon, you and your subordinate will be headed to a quiet world.

Divine Artifact, Manifest! Hiruko!

Th-This is...

Breathing...

It's a biological mechanism you have to use

as long as you're living on the surface.

Boss monster, you're not becoming a god.

I avenged you, Aizome.

I'm not dead yet!

Huh...

- Junior First Rank Aizome... I'm so glad! - I thought you were going to die for real!

I'm sorry that I couldn't rush over to you immediately!

No, it's okay.

After all, the most trustworthy hero came for me.

Your wound is shallow. Thanks, Konno.

Don't you die over something dumb like this!

Woah, they're all dead!

You did this all alone? What a freak!

That voice...

But there is still an enemy left.

A monster is right here.

Monsters or the Dragon Keepers...

Time to settle which one of us will rule the world!

Translated by Qianni Lu

Divine Artifact, Manifest!

Time to settle which one of us will rule the world!

Fighter-kun, it's finally the climax!

Wow! I'm excited to find out who's going to win!

You guys talk like it's none of your business!

Next episode, "Never Stop, Fighter D!"

- Blue Keeper! - Let me say it!
