My sword!
If only I had my sword!
Well?!
I've won! I have won! I am victorious!
Wait. Miracles have been happening again and again.
It won't be over until I shred Dai's corpse into pieces.
That's...
the Demon Dragon Blade?!
With your bonds with your friends
nakama tono kizuna wo
Embraced in your heart
sono mune ni idaite
Like a flash, in an instant
hikari no you ni isshun ni
You risk it all
subete wo kaketeku
Time and time again Against your burning destiny
nanndo mo moeagaru sadame ni
You will face it again
tachimukatte ikunnda to
If that's what you choose
kakugo wo kimetanara
Oh even when hurt
Oh kizutsuite mo
Oh even if you stumble
Oh tsumazuite mo
Continue on To your journey's end
susume kono tabi no hate
Again and again To the future you make
kimi no egaku mirai e nando mo

FAREWELL, THIS WORLD THAT I LOVE
The Demon Dragon Blade!
It was lost when Baran died! What is it doing here?!
Why?
The sun...?
Mom!
The Demon Dragon Blade!
That's right.
The true weapon of the Dragon Knight.
The time has come for you to take this sword.
It was the sun's light.
For a second, it looked like mom.
Soala was a woman like the sun.
She could embrace anyone in her warmth.
Dai.
Now you must become the sun,
the light that illuminates your friends and the Surface World!
The sun!
He's coming, Dai! Take your weapon!
You have but one chance.
Not even the Demon Dragon Blade
can withstand repeated blows to Vearn's body delivered at your full power.
Put my soul and everything you have into this strike, and slice his Sovereign Eye!
Go, Dai!
Goodbye.
Goodbye, everyone.
With this strike, I will become the sun!
I'll become the sun and illuminate you from the sky!
Goodbye, everyone!
Popp!
Even if it won't change anything, we'll keep struggling!
We'll put all of our might into living to the very end!
It's only for an instant,
but like a bright flash...!
"But like a bright flash...!"
Goodbye, Vearn, the Dark King.
What is it, Leona?
I thought I saw something just now.
Really?! Is it really Dai?!
He's falling straight this way!
No doubt about it!
That's Dai!
Is he unconscious?!
Oh no! At this rate...!
Master Dai!
We have to catch him!
Popp!
Not this job!
I'm not letting anyone take this job!
Dai!
-Popp! -Dai!
Ow, ow, ow...
Dai...?
You won, right?!
Vearn is...
Vearn, the Dark King, is gone.
You did!
Popp.
Huh?
Is there anything strange about me?
-Strange? -I became the Dragonoid, after all.
This messy hair! This scar!
And this tiny body!
How's any of it different from usual? You're definitely our Dai!
That's right!
Our Dai has won!
Come on! It's the triumphant return of the Hero!
Go on and see everyone!
Dai!
We were victorious!
Dai, the Hero, was victorious!
I told Vearn I'd leave this world after I defeated him.
Dai, are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?
You ask now, after you guys swarmed me?
Everyone...
Leona, he may not like it, but be sure to hold onto him.
Heroes tend to disappear the moment they finish their job.
That sounds irresponsible.
You better just accept it and take responsibility, Master!
What are you talking about?!
You're okay... right, Dai?
Hm?
You won't go anywhere, right?
Yeah. I...
I love this place the most.
Come! We can't leave our heroes wounded like this!
We can celebrate after returning home!
Just a minute, my Queen!
Please allow me to offer my own words of congratulations.
Killvearn?!
To those who defeated Dark King Vearn, the strongest being in the Underworld,
and bravely stopped the destruction of the Surface World.
Or rather, miraculously!
Impossible!
Are you really immortal?!
"No living creature can survive without its head," was it?
That's what you said. And perhaps you'd be right.
If I was a living creature.
What if my body was not that of a living creature?
What if it was something mechanical being controlled by someone?
That's right!
I never said those words to you!
The only one who heard those words was...!
Right!
I'm the real Killvearn.
You look surprised.
It's the opposite of the ventriloquists of your world.
While I played the role of its servant,
I made you think this Reaper puppet was the real thing.
Thus, by having the puppet attacked, I avoided all damage whatsoever.
Strictly speaking, there is but one way to defeat it.
You don't decapitate it, but instead smash its head.
But I'm glad you didn't.
A Black Core?!
There you have it! As you may already know,
my real master is Velzar, King of the Abyss, who resides in the Underworld.
I stood with Vearn on orders from Master Velzar.
While I pretended to help the Dark King, I was commanded to kill him
using the Core in this puppet should the opportunity arise.
Master Velzar also wants the Surface World, unlike the Dark King.
Why does a guy turned to stone want that?!
Why should I care?
My master is very greedy,
very unlike a Dragon.
More like a human.
It's time to say goodbye!
I'll take my leave early and head to the Underworld.
You all took care of the Dark King for me,
but as your strength exceeds his, you are very dangerous.
You can be vaporized with the Surface World humans.
And that frozen Pillar may just be set off by the blast.
Crackle!
Whoops. I forgot to mention it, but Ice-type spells won't work.
You're out of options.
And now, farewell, everyone. Along with this lovely Surface World!
Hurry, Dai!
D-Dammit!
But you're already too late.
I guess this is how it ends. There's no time to let go of this!
But I don't mind so long as I'm with you, Dai!
I'm sorry, Popp!
Wh-...
Why did you do that, Dai?!
Forgive me, Popp.
I had to.
I have to risk my life to protect those that I love!
It's what I inherited.
It's my destiny!
You damn idiot!
Dai!
Dai.
For weeks after you saved the world, we searched high and low for you.
But we couldn't find you anywhere.
Just where have you gone?
Dai, the Surface World was saved.
Its humans, monsters, and nature.
All thanks to you.
The pillars have been deactivated and peace restored.
And yet...
without you...
The Sword of Dai, the true Hero.
Hmph! It's like a damn grave!
It's not a grave!
Popp, that's a marker that Dai can use for when he comes back!
Huh?!
-Dai is... -...coming back?!
Look at the jewel on that sword.
That sword is a living sword made for Dai and Dai alone.
Should Dai perish, that jewel will lose its strength and fade, too.
Well? Has its light faded?
It's shining!
Dai's still alive!
But where is he?!
I don't know.
He could be in Celesta or the Underworld.
But...!
Who cares where he is?
Huh?!
If he's alive... So long as he's alive, we'll see him again!
I mean, this is the one place he'd come back to, after all!
Tell me, where are you going all alone?
nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno
I gaze at you from behind as you begin to walk away
arukidasu kimi no ushirosugata wo nagameru
Tell me, where are you going all alone?
nee hitoridake de doko e yukuno
We act tough and follow our hearts
massugu de tsuyogari na sonna bokura ga
And we began this tale together
hajimeta monogatari
Beyond the horizon something glimmers
chiheisen no mukou de kirameiteiru
We've been seeking something certain
tashika na mono sagashitsuzukete iruno
In the distant sky, dancing in the wind
haruka sora ni kaze ni nori matte
tobu tori wa naiteita mirai wo terasuyouni
The birds sing as though illuminating the future
The promise that connects us The adventure we share
bokura wo tsunagu yakusoku to bokura de tsumugu bouken wo
Again in this world
mata kono sekai de
That's right. So until the day he returns...
We're not there yet, Popp?!
Maam...
I think it's this way.
"You think"?
This way!
...we'll protect this world.
So someday, whether we find him...
Let's go.
Right.
...or he comes back on his own...
Little Hym, come on! We're building our new fort!
Cut me some slack, Captain!
...he'll see the beautiful land and towns...
I know you've got more. Return everything you've stolen.
...and the people living in peace...
and he'll know this is the world that he protected.
And he can hold his head high.
It's for that day, when the Hero returns!
