[English]

I remembered something.

What?

When the King went up to the execution platform, Tarkus realized something.

What did he realize?

Tarkus realized that the King had grown thin.

Then, if he noticed that, why did it happen?

Once the flames of anger are ignited, they won't go out until they've burned everything to the ground. That is the nature of anger.

度燃え上がってしまった怒りの炎は全てを焼き尽くすまで消えない。怒りとはそういうもの。

When the King was executed on the platform, Tarkus wept in frustration. As Tarkus began to cry, the sound spread, and the entire nation wept with him.

The night that echoed with the cries of the people, sounding like the roar of a dragon, came to be known as "Dragon Night."

A night where all conflicts are reconciled once and for all,

Where friend and foe alike

Can enjoy a festive celebration together.

[Music]

Yes, this is the story behind that song everyone knows so well.

[Music]

Now, let's all sing together!

Dragon Night!

Once every million years,

The sun sets and night falls. Even the never-ending battle of kings is reconciled, as people gather to offer sacrifices. It is...

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Singing]

Perhaps it can't be helped that people fight.

It's just...

[Music]

[Singing] Even though I dislike him, I think

he is just being himself.

Dragon Night, Night, Night! We are friends, so let's sing! We are...

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Angry...

[Music]

[Music]

Once every million years, the sun...

...sets and the night begins.

The never-ending battle is reconciled.

Hey!

[Music]

It can't be helped that people fight.

[Music]

But I realized that my own sense of justice

was hurting people.

Dragon Night, Night, Night! Let's sing! Congratulations, congratulations! Our battle is over.

[Music]

[Music]

Yeah!

1つ思い出した。

何を?

王様が処刑代に上がった時、タルカスはあることに気づいたんだ。

何に気づいたの?

タルカスは王様が痩せっていることに気づいたんだ。

じゃあそれに気づいてたのになんで?

度燃え上がってしまった怒りの炎は全てを焼き尽くすまで消えない。怒りとはそういうもの。

王様が鎮台で処刑された時、タルカスは悔しくて泣きました。タルカスが泣き出すとどんどん広まって国民全員が泣きました。
