Pt 2: Howl Seiryu! The Birth of Dragoon! vs Day of the Dragoon

Dub: Let's get out of here!
Japanese: This is bad!

Tyson: Aw man! I got a feeling this is gonna put a major dent into our development programme.
Takao: (having no such concerns, he remembers the Beyblade that the Shell Killers are searching for.
He decides to use this information to save Kyouju.)

Tyson: Maybe I can't win. But I gotta go & give it my best shot.
Japanese: (Despite Akira's assertions that his Beyblade will once again be destroyed in battle, Takao says that he cannot abandon a friend. He prepares to set out, fully aware that his new Bey might not survive.)

---

(Dub: Following advice given by his grandpa, Tyson silently asks Dragoon to help save Kenny.
Japanese: Takao silently speaks to Ryushinken in prayer, telling the dragon spirit that he & his friends are going to rescue Kyouju. He relates how powerful their opponents are & admits that victory will be unlikely. Before turning away, he asks Ryushinken to stay close & to watch over them.)

---

(Japanese cut scene: After Kyouju boldly states that he does not know of a "special power" for Beyblades, the Blade Sharks turn to more aggressive tactics. Fully aware that he is known as Kyouju for a reason, they order him to politely tell them what they want to know.)

Kenny: That Blade isn't nearly strong enough to take on the Sharks & you know it! Kyouju: (as well as the above, he reminds Takao that the Bey they built is a friend)		Tyson: Don't worry! I've got a secret weapon! Takao: (he points out that Kyouju is also an important friend)
Kai: So you've come back for more. Japanese: As a weak Beyblader, your only purpose is to lose.		Kai: Just know one thing, kid. You can't beat me. Japanese: Your Bey is worthless.

Tyson: I don't know what kind of power you have Dragoon, but you're my last hope.
Takao: (silently apologises to his new Bey, as it might be the beginning of the end for it)

Kai: I thought you would have learned by now. There's no way you can beat me! Japanese: Depending on that same useless attack! (he adds that Takao's Bey will be destroyed)		Kai: You fool. Japanese: Break him.
Stuart: This battle's getting really old. Japanese: This is the end for him.		Kai: Battle on, Dranzer! Japanese: Victory's mine!
Tyson: What in the world is going on here? Takao: Eh? My Bey! It's glowing!		Tyson: Wh-what just happened here? Takao: What was that dragon just now?
Andrew: Man... Now that was freaky! Akira: Dragon? What do you mean?		Tyson: Did you see the Dragoon? He smashed head on with that birdy thingy! Takao: You didn't see that just now? The dragon & the bird from our Bit-Chips...
Andrew: I've never seen anything like that before! Akira: (acknowledges the Bit-Chips, but saw nothing of the dragon & bird)		Kai: Your blue dragon & my red phoenix are trapped within our Blades. Japanese: (reveals it was Seiryu & Suzaku who appeared. He explains why few can see them)
Kai: In time, my friend. Japanese: We shall part ways for now.		Kai: (silent) Japanese: Stand down.

---

Tyson: Next time I meet up with that whoosh Kai, I'll show him who's King of the Blades! You mark my word, kid!
Takao: You will definitely be watching me take down those Shell Killers & Kai, together with my new partner.

Andrew: Tyson, what if your Blade's not powerful enough? Akira: Speaking of which, what name are you going to give your Bey?		Tyson: It will be. Takao: Name?

Kenny: Maybe you should give me your Beyblade, so Dizzi & I can analyse its energy.
Kyouju: That's a fair point. Wouldn't it be good to choose a name for your partner?

Tyson: What for? It's powered by Dragoon. Takao: Makes sense. Right! You'll be Dragoon!		Andrew: Who's Dragoon? Akira: Dragoon?

Tyson: It's a long story Andrew, but let's just say the power's been in the
family for generations, & it's all right here, in the palm of my hand.
Takao: This Bit-Chip's possessed by the dragon spirit of Ryushinken. Therefore, this dragon is Dragoon.

Kenny: Well, whatever it is, it sure is wicked. Kyouju: Hm. That is a fitting name.		Tyson: You sure hit the nail on the head, Chief. It's wicked. Takao: (he tells Dragoon that he is happy to meet him)

---

(Japanese cut scene: Ryuunosuke approaches the recently vacated sword. He knows that Seiryu has awakened & suspects that the spirit is the very dragon that Takao had seen.)

Pt 1: Howl Seiryu! The Birth of Dragoon! vs Day of the Dragoon

Nelvana prodded this episode A LOT. Whether or not their experimentations and modifications led to any improvement is up to the individual Beyblade fanatic.


The changes in dialogue that I managed to pick up are outlined below. Any lines that I couldn't confidently translate in full have been summarised within brackets.

Grandpa: Hey dudes! Ryuunosuke: Who goes there?!		Grandpa: What's up with you, my homeboys? Ryuunosuke: (accuses them of being dorobo or thieves)
Kenny: We just stopped by to see if Tyson was at home. Kyouju: No, actually... we are both here for Takao-kun.		Grandpa: I'm hip. Little dude's inside practising. Ryuunosuke: (surprised they were just standing outside, he tells them to hurry up)

---

(Dub: Kenny & Andrew admit they had been worried about Tyson after his defeat.
Japanese: Any concerns had been cleared in the previous scene, which showed Takao in good spirits.
This scene's focus is the Shell Killers, and Akira divulges the little information he has to an eager Takao, who doesn't mind if certain details do not make sense.)

(Dub: Andrew says that the Blade Sharks are searching for an all-powerful Bit-Beast.
Japanese: Not everyone has the ability to see Bit-Beasts, and thus, few know of their existence. This includes Akira, who informs Takao that the Shell Killers are looking for a special Beyblade, but openly admits that he does not understand what "special" really means.)

(Dub: Tyson declares that they must work together to build the ultimate Beyblade in order to defeat Kai.
Japanese: Takao's passion for Beyblading flares up again as Akira confirms that Kai is leader of the Shell Killers. He can't wait for a rematch and is confident he can win.)

(Dub: Andrew stresses that a Beyblade's power depends largely on the Bit-Beast, but Tyson's unfazed.
Japanese: Confused, Akira raises the issue of how damaged Takao's Beyblade was after battling Kai.
Takao tells him not to worry.)

---

(Dub: Tyson expects help from Kenny & Andrew.
Japanese: Takao shows Kyouju & Akira the parts for a new Beyblade he is planning to build. In doing so, he demonstrates that he is actively devising a strategy to defeat Kai.)

Andrew: What exactly do you mean by "we"? Akira: Is it really going to be all right?		Tyson: We. I mean, the three of us. Takao: Shut it! Quit thinking like that!
Andrew: Actually, there's four of us. Akira: Y-you've got a point.		Kenny: He means Dizzi. Kyouju: It's no good.

(Dub: Kenny reveals Dizzi's backstory.
Japanese: Kyouju demonstrates his knowledge on Beyblade parts, moving on to saying that he has a lot of useful data. He ultimately offers his contributions, much to Takao's disbelief and gratitude.)

Tyson: Well, what are we waiting for? Tell ol' Dizzi we've got a Blade to build! Takao: You're awesome! I can't tell you how excited I am!		Kenny: You bet. Dizzi, do your stuff! Kyouju: Right. Let's get back to work.

---

Dizzi: Ok boys, if you wanna beat Kai at his own game, you're going to have to do exactly as I tell you, and, I mean exactly. Oh, & if it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you hook up the adaptor & plug me in? I'm starting to feel a little sluggish.
Takao: I have other friends besides my Bey. Kyouju, and also Akira; the strength of these guys will surely make an awesome Bey. Just you wait, Kai!

---

Carlos: Kai! I'm, I'm really sorry! Hiruta: Kai-sama! Withdraw, please!		Kai: You have embarrassed the Blade Sharks, Carlos. We have never lost a match. Japanese:  The Shell Killers will teach you a lesson  for losing to such trash.

---

(Dub: Tyson suggests to build a new Blade, however Kenny still feels bad about coming short first time round.
Japanese: Takao assures Kyouju that his help did produce a better Bey, but Kyouju reminds him that despite that, it is still not strong enough.)

Tyson: Well I'm not giving up yet. Takao: I'll work my hardest with this Bey.		(Dub: Andrew reminds Tyson of his part in the project. Japanese: Akira's impressed with Takao's spirit & says he should pour it into his training.)
