Opening Dialogue[]

(At the Throne Room)

Mikoto: You look as if you’re feeling better after a few days to yourself, Corrin.
Corrin: I am, yes. I still have many questions, but at least now I have a few answers. Thank you for giving me the space I needed to think.
Mikoto: Of course. I’m glad to hear you’re feeling better. If you wouldn’t mind, I have a small favor to ask. Would you try sitting on the throne for a moment?
Corrin: Why would I do that?
Mikoto: Well…this throne is infused with the power of the First Dragons. It is said that those who sit on it regain their true form and mind. I thought if you sat on the throne, then perhaps-
Corrin: Wait… Do you not trust me? Do you think I’m under some kind of Nohrian spell?
Mikoto: No! It has nothing to do with trust. I just wonder if the Nohrians have been sealing away your early memories… If so, maybe this special throne could help bring those lost pieces back. Those sweet memories of me and your siblings…
Corrin: I see.
Mikoto: I’m sorry, Corrin. I don’t mean to push you toward something you don’t want.

(Yukimura appears)

Yukimura: Excuse me, Lady Mikoto. The ceremony is about to begin.
Mikoto: Thank you, Yukimura. Corrin, you probably don’t remember him, but this is Yukimura. He’s one of our strategists and brightest leaders. We would be lost without him!
Yukimura: You are too kind, milady. Though in truth, I still have much to learn. That said, I am here to help in any way I can, Lord/Lady Corrin.

(All of the royal siblings appear)

Mikoto: I’d like to make a public announcement about your presence here, Corrin. There have been rumors circulating about spies from Nohr infiltrating the castle. I would like to quash those rumors once and for all. Yukimura, is everything ready?
Yukimura: Yes, milady. People are beginning to gather at the plaza.
Mikoto: Excellent. Thank you. Corrin, I’ve arranged for Takumi, Hinoka, and Sakura to give you a tour. I thought you might want to get to know the area a little bit before this event. I need to speak with Yukimura first, but I’ll meet you at the plaza soon.
Hinoka: We’d be happy to show him/her around. Thank you, Mother.
Mikoto: Azura, do you mind going with them as well?
Azura: Not at all. It would be my pleasure.
Corrin: Thank you, Azura.
Azura: Of course, Corrin.
Takumi: Hmph.
Sakura: I can’t wait to show you around! I think you’ll l-love it here.
Corrin: Thank you, Sakura. A guided tour sounds like a great idea.

(Corrin, Hinoka, Takumi, Sakura, and Azura leave)

Mikoto: I hope Corrin is truly OK with all of this…
Yukimura: Yes, I can’t imagine the position he’s/she's in. It’s a lot to process. That said, I think his/her return is a message from the gods.
Ryoma: A good message, I hope.
Yukimura: Why do you say that?
Ryoma: I don’t know. After that invasion up north, I just feel uneasy. We should remain on high alert, if you ask me.

(Scene changes, at Shirasagi Castle Town)

Old Woman: Hey, young man/lady! Would you like to try my world-famous roasted potatoes? They’re delicious and nutritious! I guarantee you’ll love ’em.
Corrin: Well…sure! Why not? Mmm…I’ve never tasted spices like these before. This is amazing!
Old Woman: Ha ha! Told ya! Here, take an extra one on the house. Share it with your lady friend!/friend!
Corrin: Well, thank you very much! Here you go, Azura.
Azura: Thank you, Corrin. Mmm, you’re right. This is delicious.

(Scene transition)

Corrin: Everyone really is friendly here. And it’s so…bright…and open. It’s quite a contrast from the fortress I grew up in.
Azura: I’m glad you like it. Like I said, I’ve always been happy here.
Takumi: Just don’t get too comfortable…BROTHER/SISTER.
Corrin: Pardon me?
Takumi: I don’t trust you. Shouldn’t you be heading back to Nohr soon?
Azura: Takumi…
Takumi: Hey, who said you could call me by name? You haven’t earned that privilege either.
Corrin: That doesn’t even make sense.
Takumi: Excuse me?
Corrin: Azura has been in Hoshido for as long as I’ve been gone. Shouldn’t that be enough to consider her part of the family?
Takumi: I don’t care. I don’t trust either of you. I just wanted to tell you that to your face.
Sakura: I apologize for Takumi’s rudeness. He’s a bit of a hothead. Anyway, how’d you like to try a sweet rice dumpling? It’s a Hoshidan specialty!
Corrin: I’d love to. Thanks, Sakura!
Sakura: You’re welcome!
Corrin: You know, I’m very close with a girl in Nohr who’s around your age.
Sakura: (Male Corrin) Is she your girlfriend? (Female Corrin) Oh? What's she like?
Corrin: (Male Corrin) No! Actually, she’s my— (Female Corrin) Well, she's generous and kind. Always putting the need of others first...
Hinoka: All right, everyone. The ceremony is starting. Let’s head to the plaza!

Movie Cutscene: Mother's Death[]

(Mikoto is talking to the citizens in the plaza, but a hooded man in the crowd summons Ganglari from Corrin's scabbard. He plunges Ganglari into the ground, creating an explosion that destroys the plaza and sends its bystanders flying. After that , Ganglari shatters into dozens of pieces that shoot in Corrin's direction)

Corrin: *gasps*

(Mikoto leaps in front of Corrin, being pierced by the debris)

Mikoto: (screams)

(Mikoto falls into Corrin's arms, her breathing labored)

Mikoto: (gasps) You were not hurt? Tell me you’re OK.
Corrin: I’m fine…
Mikoto: I’m so glad…

(Mikoto collapses in Corrin's arms, dead)

Corrin: (sobs) Mother!
Sakura: Mother?… Mother!

(Sakura approaches Mikoto, but Ryoma stops her. Then, Ryoma points Raijinto to the mysterious person)

Ryoma: You there!

(Ryoma growls and slashes the mysterious person using Raijinto, but he disappears)

Ryoma: Show yourself!

(Corrin, trembling and panting with grief and rage, looks down at his/her hands. Magenta lights are coming out of his/her hands. Corrin roars, surrounded by a magenta fire. His/her eyes glow bluish-white. Corrin angrily loses control of himself/herself and transforms into a feral dragon)

(Movie End)

Before the Battle[]

Takumi: Gods! What is that?
Ryoma: It's an ancient dragon. I never thought I’d see the day…

Gameplay[]

Beginning of Player Phase (1)[]

Azura: Corrin! A word of warning, if you can hear me. Watch out for enemies carrying Wyrmslayers! They’re a type of blade designed to pierce dragon scales-and they work!

Select Azura[]

Azura: Corrin, listen! My song can help you win this battle. Using it can give you another chance to attack or take cover in a pinch. Please don’t hesitate to ask me for help!

Beginning of Ally Phase (1)[]

Ryoma: Be careful, everyone! These enemies are no mere Faceless. One wrong move and they’re perfectly capable of ending you. I hope we can count on Corrin even in this new form…

Beginning of Player Phase (2)[]

Sakura: Watch out for magical attacks, Corrin! Your defense against physical attacks is strong…but you’ll need higher resistance to protect yourself against mages.

Ryoma Versus ???[]

Ryoma: Vengeance will be mine... Prepare to die!
???: Heh. Heh. Heh...

If Ryoma is defeated[]

Ryoma: Ugh…you’re right. I’ll retreat for now…

Versus ???[]

Movie Cutscene: Grief[]

Corrin: (roars)

(Azura begins singing Lost in Thoughts All Alone)

Azura: You are the ocean's gray waves ♪ Ahh...

(Azura proceeds to walk towards dragon Corrin)

Ryoma: Azura! No, stop!

(Ryoma runs to Azura, but she conjures a water barrier, pushing Ryoma back.)

Ryoma: Ooh! *gasps*

(Azura looks at Ryoma briefly, then continues to walk towards Corrin as she sings and spreads her hands out)

Azura: You are the ocean's gray waves, destined to seek ♪ Life beyond the shore, just out of reach.

(Corrin trots backward)

Azura: Yet the waters ever change ♪

(Corrin slashes Azura with his/her claw)

Azura: Flowing like time... ♪ The path is yours to climb.

(Corrin grabs Azura's neck with his/her claw, causing Azura to choke. Then, he/she looks at Azura as she touches his/her claw and tears spill down her face.)

(Corrin releases Azura, which she smiles as she lets go of his/her claw. After that, Corrin transforms back into a human with a roar)

(At the meeting in Cheve of Sumeragi & Garon)

Garon: Fire at will.

(Sumeragi gets shot at by a barrage of arrows, groaning in pain)

Garon: I’m disappointed in you, Sumeragi. *sinister laugh* That wasn’t even my best trap.

(Garon walks up to Sumeragi and slashes Sumeragi with Bölverk)

Sumeragi: [offscreen] (screams)

(Corrin looks at the ground briefly, then, he/she see Sumeragi lying dead on the ground)

Garon: [offscreen] You poor thing.

(Corrin sees Garon)

Garon: Orphaned at such…a tender young age. You are my child now.

(Garon proceeds to grab Corrin while laughing evilly, causing the cutscene to turn pitch-black.)
