| まちかねたぞ マックス！ ここが おまえたちの はかばだ さあ かかってこい！ | Balbazak: You've kept me waiting, Max! This place will be your grave! Now, come! | Balbazak: At last we meet, Max! Soon you and your misfits will trouble us no longer! |
| マックス殿 あやつが ルーンファウスト軍しれいかん バルバザークです | Nova: Sir Max, that's a commander of the Runefaust army, Balbazak. | Nova: Yes, that is Balbazak, a commander of the Runefaust army. |
| ヤツをたおさなければ ふねは てに はいりませぬぞ | Nova: We must defeat him to get a ship. | Nova: You must destroy him! |
After the battle

| わかった おれのまけだ たのむ いのちだけは たすけてくれ | Balbazak: I got, I lost. Please, spare my life as least. | Balbazak: Max! Take the ship, but please spare my life, please! |
| おまえたちは ふねがほしいのだろう ふねは くれてやる だから いのちだけは たすけてくれ | Balbazak: You lot want a ship, don't you? I'll give you one, so let me live. | Balbazak: You don't want to kill me, do you? Please let me go. |
If Max says "no": |
||
| そんなことを いうな。。。 な たのむ ゆるしてくれよ | Balbazak: Don't say that... Hey, c'mon, forgive me. | Balbazak: You don't want to kill me, do you? Please let me go. |
The question repeats until Max says "yes". Once Max says "yes": |
||
| そうか ゆるしてくれるか このふねは やる どこへでも。。。 | Balbazak: Alright, you'll let me go? You can take the ship, to wherever you want... | Balbazak: Thank you! Take the ship, go after Darksol! |
The screen darkens. |

| バルバザークよ この私をうらぎったな。。。 | Ominous voice: Balbazak, you betrayed me, huh... | Ominous voice: Balbazak, you betrayed me! |
| 。。。。。 | Balbazak: ..... | Balbazak: No, no, please Darksol! Leave me in peace! |
| おまえのからだを つくりかえ ドラゴンマスターの ちいをあたえた この私を うらぎったのだな。。。 | Darksol: I remade your body, gave you the rank of Dragon Master, and you betrayed me... | Darksol: You disgust me, Balbazak! Leave you in peace? I will leave you in pieces! |
| お おゆるしください！ | Balbazak: P-please forgive me! | Balbazak: Forgive me! |
| 。。。。。ゆるせんな | Darksol: .....No. | Darksol: Too late, worm! Receive your punishment for failure! |
| うう。。。マックスよ おまえに 教えてやろう | Balbazak: Aaargh... Max, I'll tell you. | Balbazak: I am dying, Max... You must kill Darksol... free Runefaust... |
| ダークソルは恐ろしいヤツだ おれも こうていラムラドゥも そして。。。 | Balbazak: Darksol is a scary man. I, Emperor Ramladu, and... | |
Balbazak dies. |
||
| バルバザークのやくそくだ このふねは くれてやろう じごくへのふなでに つかうがいい | Darksol: Balbazak did promise you. I'll let you have the ship. Set sail to hell with it. | Darksol: Take the ship, as that fool said. You will not survive the voyage! Ha, ha, ha! |
End of chapter narration
| Original text | My Translation | Localization text |
| バルバザークしょうぐんをたおし ウランバートルをかいほうすることに せいこうしたマックスたち | Max and the force managed to defeat General Balbazak and free Uranbatol. | Thus did the Shining Force free Uranbatol and set sail for a land of legend.... |
| 町のかいほうをよろこぶ人々の しゅくふくをうけ 旅立つのだった | With the blessing of the people rejoicing at the town's liberation, they set sail. | |
| しかし ふねのゆくてには 黒々としたあんうんが たちこめていた。。。 | But, the ship's destination was covered in dark clouds... |
Notes:
- The term ドラゴンマスター literally translates as "Dragon Master". However, it is also the term used for Bleu's promoted class, translated in the english version as Great Dragon. Since Balbazak is a human experiment of Darksol, I always wondered if he has dragon parts/blood, but Darksol here only mentions it as some sort of rank/position Balbazak was given. The GBA version takes his aspect a little further and gives him a pet Blue Dragon.
- Balbazak's last line sucks to translate. Because verbs tend to come last in japanese sentences, he simply mentions himself and Ramladu, and gets cut off before the sentence can make any sense. Maybe he was simply going to say Darksol is the strongest in Runefaust, since the entire chapter is about establishing this guy as the big boss. But curiously, the GBA version changes this whole dialogue to be about him trying to reveal Darksol and Cain's past, so perhaps he was going to mention Cain here for something as well.
