黒い血潮たぎらせ熱いBurning fire胸に
その名もDark hero
白きマントたぎらせて現るShow me baby
問答無用のHero
捨てた過去に未練など無いSay Good-bye
Bad endにひたる男の道
許されぬLoveと知っていても
傷つけあった時ほど君にいてほしい

黒い血潮たぎらせて熱いBurning fire胸に
新たなHistory刻むLonely wolf
Dandyismに生きていく不器用なWhite tiger
その名もDark hero アクターレ
白きマントたぎらせて現るShow me baby
問答無用のHero
捨てた過去に未練など無いSay Good-bye
Bad endにひたる男の道
許されぬLoveと知っていても
傷つけあった時ほど君にいてほしい
黒い血潮たぎらせて熱いBurning fire胸に
新たなHistory刻むLonely wolf

Dandyismに生きていく不器用なWhite tiger
その名もDark hero アクターレ

歌詞

戦いに身を捧げ愛さえも捨て去り
信じるのは己(おの)が牙だけ
ああ孤独な狼

傷つける事の悲しみ知った時
おまえがそこに立っていた

冷え切った心に熱い風が駆ける
ああ背中合わせに語り合う友情

戦士に許されたたった一つのもの
命賭(と)して戦った仲間達

かけがえの無い戦友(とも)よ

戦いに身を捧げ愛さえも捨て去り
信じるのは己(おの)が牙だけ
ああ孤独な狼

傷つける事の悲しみ知った時
おまえがそこに立っていた

冷え切った心に熱い風が駆ける
ああ背中合わせに語り合う友情

戦士に許されたたった一つのもの
命賭(と)して戦った仲間達

かけがえの無いかけがえの無い　
ああ戦友(とも)よ

２番の歌詞の別Ver.

血に染まりし瞳は　夢見ることもなく
ただひたすら獲物狩る日々
泣くことも許されぬ

心砕けずに　立ち上がれたのは
おまえが　そこにいたから

罪深き心に　秘め続けた思い
ああ終わりなき日に　終止符を打つために

たとえ朽ち果てても　悔んだりはしない
さらば戦友(とも)と　笑って言えるだろう

かけがえの無いかけがえの無い　
ああ戦友(とも)よ

The game was Disgaea 2, I was surrounded by six enemies remaining, all on full health while Adell was on 120, I used one of my items out of desperation; a phone. I didn't know who was going to pick up, the whole idea was a last ditch effort and I certainly wasn't expecting a passive aggressive Prinny who claimed to be a defender of earth. He showed up on the battle field, dead centre, surrounded by the six enemies, I ran to safety as to think of a better plan, but was shocked to see him take an enemy down, then another, then chaining three together with one super, suddenly it was just three of us. I thought of going for the kill but then he came up to me, healed my character to full and smiled as I charged at the last enemy, all sense of loss gone.

His name is Kurtis, Earth's mightiest defender and my hero.
