Dragon Half
Character Guide Volume 7
Characters listed in order of appearance.
(PC == Prime Characteristics.)
Titan turns out to be an innocent dragon trapped in a magical body
created by Azatodeth. Once freed from the body, he begs Saucer to not
kill him. Sonic confirms the story. Titan and Saucer nearly killed
each other in their fight, though, and Sonic had to heal both of them.
Saucer decides that Mink is innocent as well, and when he next meets
her, he tells Mink that he loves her.
Unfortunately, although Mink managed to capture the Demon King with
the spell the Sea Queen taught her, Titan's body has grabbed both the
bottle and Mink's mother. Turns out that Mink's parents are also on the
island. Rouce rescues his wife, and some photos of naked women that
he'd bought from Sonic. Saucer carves up Titan's body. The body's last
big effort is to break the bottle holding Azatodeth. Mink has no choice
but to turn off the Dragon Timer one last time, and let it go from 995
to 999. She undergoes a horrible transformation that promises to turn
her into a monster that Saucer won't want to marry.
But, the transformation in reality...
just leaves a strange mark on her butt. She is SUPER stong now, and
easily kills the Demon King once and for all, by lopping off his head
with the Azatodeth-killing sword.
Two years of peace pass. It's the wedding of Mink and Dick Saucer.
Everyone shows up, except Rufa.
Mink and Saucer
Now husband and wife.
Vena and Mig
Still hanging out together, but it's purely platonic. Mig finally
discovers that Vena is a slime-half. Vena still has designs to win
Saucer from Mink.
Pia
In two years, Pia went from being a young boy, to a REALLY sexy-looking
16-year-old girl. A dramatic change that completely floors Rufa.
Rufa leaps out of the wedding cake, to say that a demon god has
appeared in the country of Vido, with lots of monsters. Everyone
decides to join in to help Mink take on the new threat. They run out to
start a new adventure, and Dama Ramu appears with his new "bomb body."
A little bomb cloud can be seen in the distance as Dama Ramu trips and
falls. ALL of the heroes, and their friends embark on their next big
adventure.
==================*******************===========================
Thus ends the story of Mink, and her quest for the Vido Potion, and
for Dick Saucer's love. And the besting of the Great Demon King
Azatodeth.
However, there were only 5 chapters left to finish the story in
Volume 7, leaving lots of empty space for Mita to fill. The filler
consists of a side story, some comments from various sources, and some
pencil sketches. I will only summarize the side story.
==================*******************===========================
DRAGON HALF Z
(Mita is making a joke based on the trend for TV series like Dragon Ball
and Sailor Moon to use letters in the name of the show to mark a change
in direction in the series. He states that he is skipping over "R and
SS", to get to Z.)
8 years have passed since Mink's marriage, and she and Saucer now
have a girl named Pink (looks somewhat like Mink, including the tail,
but wears very frilly cutesy clothing.) Rufa and some guy have had a
daughter named Rucha. Pia and some guy have had a daughter named Pio.
Mappy has had at least one baby, which remains unnamed.
Pink is arguing with her father over whether she can run the risks
that lay in wait between her and Pio. Pink has been given a strange
flower, and she wants to show it to her friend. Saucer won't let her.
When Mink comes into the room, we discover that Saucer and Mink have not
changed at all in 8 years, and they still act like children themselves.
Mink tries to reason with her daughter, but can not control her strength
and she hurts Pink. Pink, angry, runs away. Two hours later, Pink
meets up with Pio (no sign that there were any dangers along the way.)
Rucha is also with Pio.
Pio is impressed with the pretty flower, but Rucha recognizes it as
the "Golden Rose." She makes Pink and Pio call her "Rucha-sama" before
she will explain that the Golden Rose is capable of giving a person
"great arrogance" (ie. - strength of character.) and that it only grows
once in 100 years. (Note that Rucha is just as pushy and incompetent as
her mother, and Pio is just as spineless as Pia.) Pio exclaims that the
Golden Rose can help prevent her fainting spells, and Rucha blows up a
paper bag to show how easily frightened Pio is (Pio passes out and hits
her head on the ground.)
When Pink hesitates, wanting to keep the Rose simply because it is
pretty, Pio claims that it's ok, she doesn't need the Rose, and runs
away in tears. Rucha berates Pink for being petty, and walks away.
Pink imagines that her mother would say the same thing, and is just
about to brush off Mink's imagined comments when a tall hooded figure
comes up to her.
At the Saucer home, Mink is deriding herself for not knowing how to
raise a child. Dick cheers her up by saying that she did good by
handing over the Rose, (Mink wanted to keep the Rose also simply because
it is pretty) and that both of them behaved the same way towards their
own parents. Therefore, no problem. To further cheer themselves up,
Saucer starts singing "She's strong! She's Red! Red Dragon!" Mink
happily applauds her husband.
Meanwhile, Pink is trying to evade the hooded figure, and fails. She
wakes up in the ruins in the Great Demon King's castle. Rucha is there,
and she explains that they've gone 10 years back in time to when Mink
fought Azatodeth. Pink and Rucha watch as Mink agonizes over whether to
use the Vido Potion for herself so that she can marry Dick Saucer, or if
she should give the Potion to Rufa so that her friend can be restored
from frog form back to being an elf. Eventually, Pink is brought back
to the present time, and when the hooded figure tells her to run away,
Pink happily does so. Pio is floored at receiving the Golden Rose, and
she and Pink celebrate.
Back at home, Pink decides to eat the cooked peppers that she'd
turned down before (which are in fact her favorite food), and she asks
Mink how her parents had met. After some stunned reluctance, Mink and
Saucer gladly talk about family history as their family comes together
once more.
On the final page, the hooded figure removes the hood, to reveal --
Rufa. Rufa cackles on about finally being able to pay back Mink for her
good deed so long ago. She continues cackling about how great a magic
user she is. Meanwhile, stuck 10 years back in time, in the castle,
Rucha complains that her stupid mother seems to have forgotten about
her.
The end.
On the cover flap, Ryuusuke Mita gives a little history about
himself. Most importantly, he was born August 24, 1967, and his blood
type is AB.
