IN PREVIOUS EPISODES
I knew we'd make the best team!
[Nagi] When I look at reality, all I see is disappointment.
[Mame's brother] Get your head out of the clouds.
If that's what you think, then why did you meddle?
Aktha is still alive!
-[bubble pops] -[Nagi gasps]
[in Upananta] I'm Thaim.
[in Japanese] What?
I'm here to find Aktha. We're super tight comrades.
What's the point of that?
No matter what you believe in, nothing will change.
[Aktha] You can't do anything. You're useless.
[in Upananta] Wait!
[in Japanese] I can't bear to see Nagi hurting anymore!
The sky is so narrow in this world.
In Upananta, the sky is way bigger.
Imagination…
[no audible dialogue]
Let's go! All of us.
[in Upananta] Kasami Dumidula!
[Katars growls]
[wind howling]
[in Japanese] Welcome back, Katars!
We've got to save our people together.
[Katars growls]
[Saila] Wait, Father!
You've got to stop this.
Saving our people is not your burden to carry.
We need to stop hurting each other.
Come here.
Katars!
[Supes grunts]
Father!
[roars]
-[Aktha grunting, groaning] -[roaring]
Igru!
[Saila pants]
Why would he do that?
Katars is being controlled by Pytonpyt.
Your voice can't reach him.
Silence.
[in Upananta] Katars!
It's me, Supes!
[in Japanese] We have to get out of here now!
Listen to my voice, Katars!
What?
We'll rescue Upananta's people and build a new world for them!
[breathing heavily]
[in Upananta] Katars!
Hear my voice!
Saila?
[in Japanese] Remember! Remember my father's voice.
You're all my father has left!
[Katars roars]
[roars]
[Saila panting]
[in Upananta] Father…
[Aktha grunts]
Igru!
[Aktha grunts]
It's Aktha.
[Aktha grunts]
I know.
Listen.
Remember.
[chimes]
[Aktha grunts]
[in Japanese] I was wrong to leave you behind.
[Aktha grunts]
[Igru roars]
[Thaim exhales sharply]
[in Upananta] Saila…
[in Japanese] Not yet.
It's not over yet.
Our people…
[breathing shakily]
Father.
[Supes] I must…
save our people.
[Supes gasps]
Father.
You've done enough.
It's over.
It's over?
Yes. It's finished.
No…
So…
I…
couldn't do anything.
That's not true.
I was the one who did nothing.
I let Maur die.
I left you to suffer alone.
It's not your fault.
I'm sorry,
Father.
[breathes shakily]
Saila…
please forgive me.
[Saila gasps]
[whimpers, crying]
[roaring]
[roaring continues]
Hey, it's coming our way!
-Watch out! -Run!
[grunting, gasping]
[resident 1 gasps] It's coming again! Watch out!
[resident 1 screams]
[Mame] Watch out!
[thuds, whooshes]
[Mame pants]
You stopped it?
[grunts]
-[resident 1] Kanna! -[resident 2] Are you hurt?
-Are you okay? -I'm fine.
-Are you sure? -Yes, but we better get out of here.
[resident 2] Let's go.
-[Mame] Quick, get in! -[resident 3] What?
[resident 1] What's that boat?
[Mame] Let's go down to the city!
-[resident 3] No idea, but let's go. -Come on. Careful.
-Ready. -[resident 3] Watch your footing.
[resident 4] Hurry!
-It's coming! -Taichi, come on! Get in!
Song,
-I'm staying here. -[Mame] What?
Why? Just get in.
It's going to be okay.
I'll wait here for Hana and Nagi.
Go ahead without me.
Okay.
[inhales, blows]
[high-pitched whistling]
[gasping, murmuring]
-What's happening? -We're floating?
-What is this thing? -Wow.
[chuckling, gasping]
-[resident 1] Where's it taking us? -[Taichi] Be careful!
[residents gasp]
[dragons roaring]
[roars]
[Aktha grunts]
[in Upananta] The light…
[Aktha strains]
[roars]
[high-pitched ringing]
[gasps]
[in Japanese] Saila…
I'm going to listen to Pytonpyt…
to find out why it's doing all this,
why it's taken Guphin.
Isn't there a way to solve this without hurting more people?
[scoffs]
That's just foolish idealism.
But maybe it's a good thing to be like you.
Anything could happen.
Do you know where to go?
Ancient KOTOWARI.
Supes told me.
Did he…
Stay on your guard.
I will.
[Saila] Thaim!
[in Upananta] Kasami Dumidula!
Kasami Dumidula.
Dragons of Wonderhatch
[beachgoers chattering]
[beachgoer 1] Quickly!
Watch out! Let's go!
[beachgoer 2] Let's get outta here!
[beachgoer 1] Quickly, quickly!
[beachgoers clamoring]
-Quickly! -[clamoring continues]
[panting]
[Aktha] Thaim!
I'm coming with you.
I need your power.
Aktha!
What is this place?
Mom!
Nagi.
[gasps]
[laughs]
What is that?
It's the will of Pytonpyt.
[Nagi] Will?
That?
You mean we're inside its mind?
It's more than that. More like the soul.
[gasps] Don't.
If you touch it, you won't be you.
But we have to stop--
No, we don't.
Pytonpyt is just trying to live.
Let's go.
[Thaim] Aktha, don't you want to return to Upananta?
[Aktha] I want to protect what's important to me. That's all.
Are you going to go back?
[Thaim] I…
Think carefully.
Once we kill Pytonpyt, you won't have time to choose.
Kill?
We can't do that!
What will happen to Upananta without Pytonpyt?
There's no other way.
This isn't the Aktha I wanted.
Would you rather I pretend?
Kindness is not going to save the world.
But it's already saved me.
You were always so kind to me.
That's what's gotten me this far.
Dragonriders never give up.
Right?
[oozing, crackling]
[oozing, crackling continues]
Here it comes.
[Nagi] Where are you going?
Let's go together. To Upananta.
What about Dad?
He's been waiting for you all this time.
He'll understand.
What do you mean?
You're not making sense.
My drawings…
were the only place I could live.
No matter what I did,
I was always in pain.
The only time I felt I could breathe,
was when I was drawing the world floating in my thoughts.
I've always felt that this world
was no place for me to live.
But it's been the same for me.
I could see the colors of sounds,
and everyone called me a liar.
[sighs]
But
Thaim taught me something.
If you run away, nothing changes.
It won't change anything.
So
I can't go to Upananta.
I understand.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
But
don't ever forget…
your imagination opens the doors to the world!
[sighs]
[Thaim grunting]
Are you okay, Aktha?
[Aktha] Keep moving forward.
[both grunting]
[Thaim] Aktha.
[Aktha grunting]
Up ahead!
[both grunting]
[Thaim pants]
[Thaim chuckles]
[Aktha chuckles]
[both grunt]
[groans]
[gasps]
[strains]
-[Aktha groans] -Aktha!
[gasps]
[chokes]
[straining, choking]
[Aktha grunting]
You really love to make things difficult.
Sorry…
[grunts]
But we really did…
make the best team.
[gasps, chokes]
[coughs]
[grunts]
[coughing]
-Aktha! -[in Upananta] Stay back!
Go!
[groaning]
Kasami Dumidula.
[grunts]
[panting]
[grunts]
[panting]
[panting, coughing]
[in Japanese] No…
we never…
chose a name for you…
[Igru growling]
[roars]
[whimpering]
[Kheit grunts]
Nil!
[grunts]
Jairo!
Everything is the will of Pytonpyt.
[gasps]
[panting]
Nagi?
-[coughs] -Thaim!
Are you okay?
Yes.
Look.
[Thaim] This must be Ancient KOTOWARI.
What are you going to do?
It's dangerous.
I want to listen to it.
To find out how to save everyone.
Do you think that will stop it?
I don't know…
but if I don't listen,
we'll only keep hurting each other.
It's too painful.
Thaim.
So…
I've got to try.
[grunts]
[straining]
[in Upananta] What's happening…
[grunts, strains]
[Thaim grunting]
[gasps]
[straining] Pytonpyt.
Why…
[straining]
[in Japanese] Thaim.
Are you okay? Thaim?
[Thaim continues straining]
[choking, straining]
[grunts]
Just a little more.
We're almost there.
Nagi.
Together,
we can make it.
[grunting]
[in Upananta] Pytonpyt.
Help me understand you.
[gasps]
[Nagi, in Japanese] Thaim?
[gasps]
[Nagi grunts]
[Thaim grunts]
[in Upananta] Pytonpyt.
Let me understand you.
Pytonpyt.
Tell me what you are.
[gasps]
[in Japanese] It's stopped.
[gasps]
We did it. It's stopped.
Thaim, it's stopped!
Let's get back.
[high-pitched ringing]
Nagi, you go.
What?
I'm going to keep speaking to Pytonpyt.
If I do that,
I think I can protect both worlds.
Thaim…
Thaim!
[gasps]
Thaim!
[Nagi whimpering]
Thaim!
Thaim…
please.
Thaim!
Stop!
Thaim!
[in Upananta] Pytonpyt.
There must be more than one answer.
[Nagi, in Japanese] Thaim.
YOKOJA HOT DOG
[vendor] Thanks for waiting.
[customer] Thank you.
[vendor] Can I take your order?
-[Nagi] One Yokoja hot dog, please. -[vendor] Okay.
A Yokoja hot dog, please.
Can I take your order?
Okay.
Coming right up.
SIX MONTHS LATER
[beachgoers chattering]
-Hey. -[Mame's brother] Yes?
Will you help me study?
-[Mame's brother] Sure. -[Mame] Thank you.
So 96 grams?
See, you can do it.
[chuckles]
Thanks.
By the way,
-I have something to show you. -What?
[inhales, blows]
[high-pitched whistling]
[gasps] Wow, gyoza today?
Yep! Gyoza.
Great.
[door opens, footsteps approach]
-[Nagi] She's back. -Yes.
-[Saila] I'm back. -Come in, come in.
[Saila chuckles]
Hello, little one.
-Fast asleep. -[all laugh]
-[Saila coos] -[all chuckle]
[Kanna] Dozing away.
[Hana] They're ready. Taichi, look!
[both laugh]
[laughs]
[exclaims]
[cheers]
[gasps]
[Melpon chatters]
-[coos] -[Kheit laughs]
[laughs]
[Saila] It's so cold today.
We're gonna sell out of hot bean soup again.
[Nagi] It's so strange.
Even though the impossible happened,
it's become part of reality just like that.
Just as if nothing had happened.
[sighs]
There's nothing unusual about that.
To live is to adapt.
Thaim is still fighting for us.
[Saila] Yes.
Thanks to him, everything hangs in a fine balance.
I'll see Thaim again, right?
But he's a right pain in the butt.
Even if he is entertaining.
[laughs]
What about my mother and father?
Will I see them again?
See you later.
Imagination…
opens the doors to the world.
[Mame] Nagi!
Morning.
It's so chilly!
[Nagi] I know, I'm frozen.
-[Mame] I'm turning to ice. -[Nagi laughs]
[thud]
[high-pitched ringing]
[people chattering]
[waves crashing]
[singing] If I can hear it
From beyond the sky
I might be able to cross over
Awakening from a dream
Much like I was called
To the world I believed
And that you live in
Let go of your heart, just look
And you will see a different view
From yesterday
La…
Time is
Always going to be connected
So one of these days
We'll reach beyond the dream
The door will open
When your voice
Reaches me
Even if everything falls apart
Even if we lose everything
All we have to do is reach out
If it rings out
From beyond the sky
I might be able to cross over
Awakening from a dream
