TRUE DRAGON

TRUE DRAGON is a Dynasty Warriors character image song which first appeared on the vocal CD Ouha - Kyouka Ranbu. It's a solo song performed by Masaya Onosaka. It is dedicated to one of the characters he performs in the series, Zhao Yun, who is often called a dragon in the Warriors franchise.

In the first Dynasty Warriors voice actor event, the song was performed as a part of the show's encore. Onosaka cosplayed as the Dynasty Warriors 7 version of his character for his live performance. He later wore the same costume at Koei-Tecmo's stage events at Tokyo Game Show 2011. He jokingly acted to his character image song again by swinging a mop in ode to a previous radio broadcast.

 * will I kneel and swear
 * to become a rising dragon

 * My soul swears to seek one desire


 * Even if I have to fight for the light in the sky
 * it shall be for what I believe in
 * If I keep my sights straight as I fight
 * perhaps the path I seek shall be lit


 * Until the universe rids of its distress
 * I shall attack everything in my way
 * I want even minute or unfulfilled goals
 * to reach their ultimate potential
 * The dragon filled with pride won't give up
