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.

- As the wind blows, I run headfirst towards the sky
- as though I can soar everywhere
- If I were to level everything from the horizon
- the light of hope can shine through
- I'll surpass any number of hardships
- to protect those dear to me
- Until the crimson light of dawn shines for tomorrow
- I will cut through anything
- I grant you the throne of my heart and only for you
- will I kneel and swear
- to become a rising dragon
- Don't stop, ride on! Don't stop!
- Don't stop, carry on! Don't stop!
- I shall not fear and merely sprint forward
- 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
- Until the crimson light of dawn shines for tomorrow
- I will cut through anything
- I grant you the throne of my heart and only for you
- will I kneel and swear
- 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
- Don't stop, ride on! Don't stop!
- Don't stop, carry on! Don't stop!
