Original subtitles

Shu and his team confronted Nene in his castle,

but found he was much more powerful than they had imagined.

As the teammates get defeated one by one,

in a moment of desperation, Kluke discovered that she, too,

had the power to awaken a Shadow.

Her Shadow, Phoenix, was able to save the others from disaster.

However...

General Logi, may I get right to it?

Sure, of course.

We're dominating the fight.

It's just a matter of time.

The enemy's main force, the Jibral Army, is now on the run.

There might be pockets of resistance, but they'll be defeated soon.

Lord Nene is doing a final check on

the Flying Fortress Galleon up in high altitude.

From all reports,

it appears that Zola and her group of Shadow Wielders have been defeated.

As if...

Those guys are tough.

It's hard to believe that they'd be defeated that easily.

But, I guess it's just another testament to the supremacy of Lord Nene's power.

That's right.

From the way things are,

Lord Nene will probably dominate and rule this world in the near future.

We need to hurry.

Enemy located!

At point 548. The remainder of the Jibral Army!

Let's go!

A PATH TOWARDS HOPE

Kluke...

She's not waking up.

I wonder if she'll stay like this forever, maro.

No way!

There's...just no way!

Sorry, maro.

Here's a first-aid kit.

It doesn't have much in it, but it's better than nothing.

Bouquet...

Y-Yes.

Shu, Jiro.

You should also treat your injuries as well.

How can you be like that?

Kluke isn't waking up!

How can you act like there's nothing wrong?!

I know how you feel.

But now is not the time to talk about it.

Why does Kluke have to go through all this?

Why did you get Kluke involved!

If I knew... I...

You wouldn't have fought?

Cool down a bit.

Kluke...

Get it?

You are clumsy so don't do anything reckless!

Stop! If you get involved, you're going to mess it up.

Just leave it to me, alright?

Wake up!

You sleepyhead!

Shu!

Shu!

Shu!

Shu...

Shu...

Shu...

Shu...

I...

I couldn't protect Kluke.

Shu...

Jiro!

Shu!

Here's another troubled one.

Are you alright?

What's gonna happen to Kluke?

I don't know.

She summoned her Shadow for the first time

and used her special power for the first time.

But despite of that, she was able to control it as well as she did.

There is a possibility that she might never wake up.

Why did we lose?

Zola!

I can't imagine you taking action without thinking it through completely!

To me, it seems like you knew

that we didn't have the power to go against Nene,

but had us charge his castle, anyway.

I can't help but wonder if you had another plan in mind.

If that's the case, then we wouldn't have faced such trouble.

The enemy's in good shape, the team's about to come apart,

and Kluke's in a coma.

Do you think this is the result of a well thought out plan?

Is it true what he was saying?

He?

The father that Nene was talking about...

Are you the same as me?

Unfortunately, I don't care much about revenge or family.

I got rid of my personal feelings long time ago.

Then why do you keep fighting?

I am not asking you to trust me.

You should decide whether you want to continue on this journey.

What a great view.

As long as we have this Flying Fortress Galleon,

it's only a matter of time before the land below,

and all the other lands of this world, are brought under your control.

Lord Nene!

What?

We have just completed a final check of all the onboard systems.

We await your command.

I see. Good job.

Good job, good job.

So, which way shall we go?

Southwest...which means...

Jibral.

Where did everyone go, maro?

I wonder if everyone is okay, maro.

I think the one who is hurt the most may be Zola.

Maro?

Even though she puts up a tough front, she's truly kind underneath.

I will protect them, if it's the last thing I do!

I think she is hurt.

What do you plan to do, maro?

I don't know.

I wonder what Shu is planning to do.

I...

Damn.

How could this be!

Don't cry...on the battlefield. Don't cry, Shu.

I...

There you are.

Jiro.

Well? Are you done feeling sorry for yourself?

What?!

Do you feel better? Taking it out on others?

What do you mean?!

Just as I said.

You're pathetic.

Acting as if you are the victim

and ignoring the fact that you were powerless.

Shut up!

Is someone gonna save you if you whine?

If you were fully committed, maybe—

Shut up!

Ridiculous.

That's what happens when you attack impulsively,

even though you are weak.

What about you?

You talk the talk, but you are no different!

What?!

You're giving me all this lecture,

but you weren't the least bit effective, either!

If we had it together, Kluke didn't have to end up like that!

I can't believe you are still saying that!

It's that kind of half-hearted commitment that—

Screw that!

You lost too!

We haven't lost yet!

What?!

I am still alive.

As long as I am alive, there is a chance.

And I'll come at him again!

No matter how many times it takes, until Nene is defeated!

I will have my revenge!

You...

Pull yourself together!

I don't want someone like you around me.

It makes me want to throw up.

I...

They're...

Fake Shadows.

Look! There's someone over there!

Oh, no!

Zola...

Stay hidden here.

Before you deliver the information, I'm gonna get rid of you.

Are you okay?

You're late! Couldn't you have come sooner?!

You!

Legalas!

That arrogant old man.

Why are you here, maro?

How dare you talk to me like that, after I risked my life coming here!

Maro.

What do you mean?

I was sent on assignment from the King!

I was told to relay the information and I was looking all over for you guys.

If it weren't for this,

I would've been on the battlefield by now defeating a thousand enemies!

What is the information?

Oh yeah.

I will tell you how much I struggled to get here later.

This is the follow-up report on the incident

that happened when you were in Jibral.

You mean...

The incident where the Extra Seven got stolen?

Yeah.

Well then, I will explain it clearly by using pictures.

You don't have to!

Gosh... And here I took all this time to draw them!

Just tell us already.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Okay fine.

According to our investigation,

the man who stole the last seven pages of the Book of the Beginning,

known as the Extra Seven, was a spy named Salinas.

As you know, he was later killed by an unknown assailant.

With further investigation,

we've uncovered some clues as to the identity of that assassin.

The suspect seems to be a female, in her 20s or 30s, with blue eyes.

And she is likely to be wearing some kind of perfume that smells like flowers.

And then?

And then? This is all.

You gave us a lot of nothing!

You don't have a name or any idea of what she looks like?!

If we can find out stuff like that, we wouldn't have any trouble on hand!

This is the best we could with the little clues we had.

Don't be asking too much!

There are many ladies with blue eyes. It's the same with the perfume.

She must be the new suspect for the ghost incident.

Yeah, who is this person?

Now it is clear that the Extra Seven was stolen.

If it was stolen, then someone must have it...

someone that needs that document.

What do you mean?

I'm saying that it is now clear what we have to do.

- Huh?! - Huh?!

I don't get it.

Like I said before,

the lost seven pages contain information about the seven Shadow Wielders.

This is only a guess,

but I think it has information about how to summon a Shadow.

I think you know by now.

We're not powerful enough to win against Nene.

I think it contains a way for us to compensate for that lack of power.

Wasn't that a book about the beginning, maro?

That's right. It's the world's oldest book.

It contains lore of old old days.

You still don't get it?

You guys are the descendants of the Seven Soldiers.

We are?

The Seven Soldiers...

Grankingdom declared war against the world.

It's important to stop them, but we need to obtain new powers to do it.

Our goal is to get hold of the Extra Seven

and to obtain powers to go against Nene.

I am not going to force you. I will honor your decision.

What are you going to do, Shu?

I will do it!

We can't allow any more sadness to spread.

We can't have other people get hurt, like Kluke.

I might not have the right to say this yet, but we can't leave Nene like this.

I'm gonna get stronger and defeat Nene!

Jiro?

Do you need to ask?

Marumaro?

I'm lost. But I will fight for justice!

Bouquet?

Of course I'm coming. I will always be beside my fiancé.

Good.

But Kluke...

Come on!

Wake up, Kluke!

It was because of you that we're saved!

We know what we have to do now! So please!

Wake up!

Please wake up!

Kluke! Hey, Kluke!

Kluke...

This works the best.

Shu?

Wake up!

Wake up, Kluke! It's not time to be sleeping!

Kluke!

Kluke!

Please...wake up.

I'm sorry, Kluke.

I was right there with you, yet.

What's with...all the noise?

Kluke...

Um...where am I?

Kluke!

What?

She woke up.

Kluke! Kluke!

What are you doing?!

Finally awake, huh?

Where...are we?

Gosh, you made us worry.

What?

Welcome back, Kluke.

Th-Thanks.

Now we are all together again.

Are you ready?

Yeah!

Let's go!

You are coming too, maro?

Of course I am!

A board meeting is held

to create a modern version of the Book of the Beginning for kids.

How about turning it into manga by a famous manga artist?

Then I will pose as the swimsuit model for the cover.

Is that a rare picture, maro?

It's not for you so don't get too excited!

Next on Blue Dragon: "The Book of the Beginning."
