Original subtitles

Long ago, a great light was cast and the world was created.

Light overflowed and shone in every corner.

The beautiful world brought forth and flourished many living things.

The world of light...

Its prosperity seemed to last forever.

However, foolish humans desired not only light, but darkness as well.

Their wish was granted, and darkness appeared.

It was the instant that the darkness was born in this world.

That's the place we seek.

THE SHADOW COMES FORTH

So that's how much progress has been made?

Progress, progress!

Yes! Your ambitions are being realized rapidly, Lord Nene.

We have already sent our men to infiltrate the entire country.

Bring them all.

Bring every child who is blessed with the power of Darkness!

Bring them all to me! To make this world mine!

Mine, mine!

Yes, sir!

Your wish is my command!

What?!

The Knight Master is coming to this village?!

Uh-huh.

Hey, what's a Knight Master?

Don't you know?

A knight who has mastered the military arts.

I don't know much, but I hear he's super strong.

Right! Women fall in love with them!

Men envy them!

It's the number one dream job for kids!

Why are you getting so excited?

It has nothing to do with you, Shu.

Of course it does!

I'm gonna meet the Knight Master and become his apprentice!

And by being a Knight Master's apprentice,

I can travel around the world!

- Wow! - Wow!

All right, everyone!

Let's go and find this Knight Master now!

- Yeah! - Yeah!

Hey, wait up!

Cripes, he can be such a headache!

Knight Master!

Oh...

What are you doing?!

It's your fault for running out like that!

You made a dent in my bike!

Hey, worry about me more than this silly piece of junk you made!

What a rude thing to say!

And here I came because I was worried about you!

Quit treating me like a kid all the time!

If I say this, he says that. Such a kid.

Hey, we're both the same age!

- Bro! - Bro!

And? Did you find the Knight Master?

It's not that easy!

Besides, I don't even know his name or what he looks like.

Then how do you plan to find him?

I have a plan!

And the perfect one at that!

A plan? What kind of plan?

Isn't it obvious?

We'll approach every stranger we see!

- Great plan, Bro! - Great plan, Bro!

Isn't that like really inefficient?

Shut up! Anyway, let's go!

- Yeah! - Yeah!

- Knight Master! - Knight Master!

W-What are you doing?!

If he were a real Knight Master, he would've dodged that.

- Knight Master! - Knight Master!

Not him either.

Knight Ma—

Not him either.

Hey, hold it.

Man, where is he?

Knight Master...

I said hold it, you brat!

Huh?

First you approach someone, then you ignore him.

You really don't have any manners.

Shut up! It's your fault for walking around in this area.

That's the only reason I stopped you in the first place!

H-Hey, Shu...

Shall I teach you how to address others?

There's nothing a weak-looking guy like you can teach me.

I...am not weak!

I will show you!

W-What is this feeling?

Remember this.

Rude speech and behavior can put your life in peril.

That's enough.

Zola!

Don't get involved in senseless arguments, Jiro.

But he...

No excuses.

Besides, you tried to use your power.

There's a time and place for everything.

That's your weakness.

I-I'm sorry.

My friend was rude. I apologize.

No, he was to blame too.

Hey Shu! You need to apologize too!

Hey Shu!

Let's go, Jiro.

Wait!

Oh! You're the Knight Master!

Hey, Knight Master! Make me your apprentice!

Hey, Knight Master! Make me your apprentice!

Knight Master, huh?

You want to become a Knight Master?

Actually, I just want to be an apprentice to a Knight Master.

You're a Knight Master, right?

Unfortunately, I am not a Knight Master.

And, if I speak in philosophical terms of good and bad,

I may not even be your ally.

You think you can become a Knight Master?

What?!

Stop it, both of you.

How old are you?

Huh? I'm ten.

I see. Perhaps, you're the one.

Huh?

I'll tell you one thing.

A Knight Master never identifies himself.

And others cannot make you one.

Being strong isn't enough.

The weak-hearted obviously can never become one either.

Now let me ask you.

What will you do if you possess power?

Power? What will I do?

If you cannot answer that question, your journey will never begin.

Sir, we are now passing over the Gul Mountain Range.

Estimated time of arrival at Target Area B34 is 1410.

We will infiltrate from all directions.

Once the area is secure, begin the search.

Roger.

No matter who is lying in wait for us,

as long as we have the power of darkness granted by Lord Nene,

we have nothing to fear!

The Covalt Cavern of Dragon...

The site where the raging power was sealed.

As I thought...

There is no mistake.

This is the place.

Oh man! I guess that lady wasn't a Knight Master.

In any case, she turned you down.

So you can't go on your journey.

By the way, what was she saying to you?

I'm not really sure. It was too hard to understand.

- B-Bro! - B-Bro!

W-What is that?

What the hell?

Our Talta Village!

You all stay here!

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna go find that lady!

They headed towards the valley! They're probably at the ruins!

Remember, do not kill the children!

What about everyone else?

Kill anyone who resists!

What's going on?

It's them.

It seems they've attacked the village.

I see...

Hey!

There's a shortcut! I'll show you the way!

This way!

What are you talking about?

What?! The village is being attacked!

That has nothing to do with us.

Huh?!

As I told you earlier... We are not Knight Masters.

If you want to save the village, do it yourself.

What?!

This conversation is over.

Oh, is that so?! I won't ask you again!

Shu!

- Bro! - Bro!

Well? Did you find them?

Forget those two!

We'll protect the village ourselves!

What do we do, Elder?

We do nothing.

If we don't resist, they probably will not harm us.

The time is calling for chaos.

Oh? You dare to defy us? Then I shall show you!

Go!

W-What's going on?!

The village...

There are some children!

Hey you! Now get over here.

Who do you think you are?!

Get out of our village, now!

How's that?!

- Bro! - Bro!

Stop it!

Kluke!

Dammit! Get your hands off of everyone!

Shut up! You're coming too!

Don't touch me!

Oww! You rotten brat!

Take them away!

What about that brat?

Leave him to me!

I'll teach him some manners.

Don't go overboard.

Shu...

Let's go!

Stop!

Shu! Shu!

Take that!

Dammit.

I...

It seems everything is in place.

If only I had some power!

Damn!

Knight Master?!

What?

You follow my instructions on when to use your powers. Got it?

Understood.

Let's go!

It's over!

What are you looking at?

No...well...

You don't even know how to thank the one who saved you.

Such a country bumpkin.

What?! I never asked you to save me!

I have no time to argue with you.

Get out of here.

Hold it! Who are those guys?!

They're the army of the Grankingdom. Nene's forces.

Grankingdom?

Nene?

I've heard of the two who defy the Grankingdom.

Everyone, stay back!

They are my prey!

My power surpasses all others!

What is that?!

Don't lump us together with that sorry-looking Shadow.

What?!

Our Shadow is different!

The shadow turned into a beast!

So I just have to take that down?

Right! Go, Goblin!

Get them!

You intend to battle my Killer Bat with that?

What?!

Now finish it!

Right there!

Kluke! Everyone!

Hey! Stop, or you'll die too!

I... I...

What will you do if you possess power?

I want to protect everyone!

What is that?!

Is that...

That is the power we have sought!

Blue Dragon...

Blue...Dragon...

Shu awakens the Blue Dragon.

However...

In exchange for its power,

his body would have to become a machine.

Hey wait a minute! No way!

What anime is this anyway?!

Oh, then I'll be happy to modify you. That's my specialty.

Huh?! Stop!
