Dragon Quest 5
Dai is starting his training under Avan, but Avan intends to make him a hero in one week, by letting him undergo the Special Extreme Training Course. Pop doesn’t trust it, he claims that everyone who’s undergone the training has died, but Dai is very exited. First, he has to run, with three big rocks attached to him. Next, he has to break a very big rock with his sword, but Dai actually breaks the sword ^_^; Then Pop shows him a few tricks and they train together and get classes on Avan’s main techniques: the Ground Gash, the Sea Surge and the Aerial Assault. They have to medidate to increase their magical powers, but Dai’s no good at it and when they actually have to do a magical attack, he fails completely. Avan then decides he will train Dai’s swordmanship and not his magic. After training a lot with the sword, Avan lets Dai slash the rock again and he succeeds ^_^ then he falls asleep, completely exhausted. The next day, Dai continues his special training and Avan uses his special technique, the Avan Slash. Pop then sees that he is really serious about making Dai a hero in one week. Dai is walking around alone and Avan lets some big rocks fall on him. Dai uses the Ground Gash to destroy them. But the Ground Gash is the most basic of the three attacks, so Dai still has a long way to go. That night, Pop asks Dai why he goes through with the training, to save the monsters, or for the princess of Papunika, but Dai doesn’t answer him. The next day, Avan and Dai go to train alone in a cave, and noone is allowed to go in. In the cave, Avan changes into a dragon, and Dai has to defeat him. But Gome-chan, who had been worried about Dai, went in anyway, and when he sees the dragon, he goes to get Pop to help Dai. Meanwhile, Dai is having a hard time agains the dragon, but then he remembers Avan’s lessons and realises he’ll have to use the Sea Surge to defeat the dragon’s flames. Pop arrives at the cave and enters with Brass and Gome. At the same moment the dragon attacks and Dai does the Sea surge and there’s a big explosion.
This is a double episode and they stop at a crucial moment so I’m very eager to see what happens next. It’s only the fifth episode, to of course Dai will survive, but how will Avan survive this?
