[00:00] ---
    One carne. That will be 160 buildcash please.
[00:05] ---
    Thank you very much!
[00:15] ---
    Here you go.
[00:17] ---
    It's the bread that I promised you.
[00:23] ---
    So it's true that you live here.
[00:26] ---
    I thought you were kidding me.
[00:30] ---
    What about school?
[00:31] ---
    That necktie looks like part of the
    Komoku Academy uniform.
[00:35] ---
    School...
[00:36] ---
    Don't tell me you don't even know
    where your own school is?
[00:42] ---
    So you really don't remember a thing.
[00:45] ---
    What about this city?
[00:49] ---
    In Neo Kyoto, the politics, economy, and
    your fate are all determined by Build-Divide.
[00:58] ---
    If you're good at Build-Divide, you can enjoy
    an affluent life in the center of the city.
[01:03] ---
    But if you're an inferior player, you're forced
    to suffer hardship in the outer district.
[01:09] ---
    This society is shaped by "hyperdemocracy."
[01:14] ---
    Using Build-Divide's meritocracy-based
    order as its social infrastructure,
[01:18] ---
    one person has unified the will of the people,
    and determined the direction this society will take.
[01:24] ---
    That person is the King,
    the one we're trying to reach.
[01:29] ---
    To defeat the King in Build-Divide,
    and have your wish granted...
[01:34] ---
    We call that battle Rebuild.
[03:09] ---
    #02 Lonely Baby Bird
[03:16] ---
    SANJOBASHI SHOPPING DISTRICT
[03:20] ---
    There don't seem to be
    any challengers around here.
[03:24] ---
    How can you tell?
[03:25] ---
    What do you mean?
[03:27] ---
    Blink twice in a row
    like you did during our battle.
[03:32] ---
    You see, right?
    That's how you can see everyone's stats.
[03:37] ---
    By looking at that data, you can also
    find out if that person is a challenger.
[03:41] ---
    Everyone living in Neo Kyoto
    wears these scout lenses.
[03:47] ---
    KOMOKU ACADEMY
[03:48] ---
    Well, remember anything?
[03:49] ---
    I've never been here before.
[03:51] ---
    Oh, whatever. Let's just head to the
    faculty room and see if you're regist—
[03:55] ---
    Wait, is that you, Teruto?
[03:57] ---
    It is you!
[03:59] ---
    You never showed up after I got the transfer notice,
    so you had me really worried.
[04:04] ---
    So you brought him here, Ms. Banka?
[04:06] ---
    Yes.
[04:07] ---
    Thank goodness!
    Teruto can't afford to miss any more days.
[04:11] ---
    Oh no you don't!
    I'm not letting you out of my sight.
[04:15] ---
    So he does go here.
[04:18] ---
    I guess I can trust him, then.
[04:20] ---
    First, we're going to need info on any challengers.
[04:24] ---
    Look, I got myself a new deck case.
[04:27] ---
    Oh? That looks nice.
[04:28] ---
    Where'd you buy it?
[04:29] ---
    Let's see.
    I want you to check it out too, Hiyo-Hiyo.
[04:34] ---
    In other words, Build-Divide, which was
    introduced in Japan in the 17th century,
[04:39] ---
    has long been used for gambling purposes.
[04:42] ---
    In the 1950s, the former entertainment behemoth
    Billmon conducted an academic study...
[05:08] ---
    WHAT HAPPENED?
[05:16] ---
    Looks like there are some right here at school.
[05:19] ---
    Did you hear me?
[05:20] ---
    I'm the one who’s going to win.
[05:21] ---
    I like your confidence.
[05:23] ---
    All right, let's go look for one.
[05:27] ---
    I thought we might find one here...
[05:30] ---
    ...but I guess it's not that easy.
[05:34] ---
    Teruto, why do you want to take down the King?
[05:37] ---
    Many people oppose the Exclusionism
    principles the King's been touting.
[05:42] ---
    Are you one of them?
[05:44] ---
    I have no interest in this city or any doctrines.
[05:46] ---
    All I want to do is defeat the King, that's all.
[05:49] ---
    I'll be happy...
[05:51] ---
    ...to pluck that wish right out of your hands.
[05:58] ---
    Who are you?
[06:00] ---
    Middle school second year, Hiyori Munenashi.
[06:03] ---
    A fair fight is all I'm looking for!
[06:08] ---
    This girl is a challenger.
[06:10] ---
    Mr. Kurabe, you're a challenger yourself, right?
    I know all about it.
[06:14] ---
    When I saw you this morning,
    I took the liberty of scouting you.
[06:18] ---
    That look in your eyes.
    You're going to accept my challenge, aren't you?
[06:22] ---
    I'm taking your key chip.
[06:25] ---
    Request Rebuild!
[06:30] ---
    Confirming Rebuild Request.
[06:32] ---
    Please bet your key chips.
[06:34] ---
    One bet.
[06:41] ---
    I'm betting...
[06:42] ---
    ...three.
[06:43] ---
    I'm all in.
[06:45] ---
    Hey, what are you smoking?
[06:47] ---
    One against three, that's not a bet.
[06:50] ---
    If you lose, you'll lose your right to challenge.
[06:53] ---
    It's more fun this way.
[06:55] ---
    Oh, come on!
[06:56] ---
    Rebuild established.
    Now erecting a defensive barrier.
[07:02] ---
    I'm not holding back, I'm going all out.
[07:05] ---
    Call. Douglark!
[07:13] ---
    Call. Bloom.
[07:20] ---
    Really, I hope you know what you're doing.
[07:23] ---
    I get the first move. Here I come, Teruto.
[07:26] ---
    - Build-Divide.
    - Build-Divide.
[07:28] ---
    Energy Set. Johanna, Spend Grenader. Accept.
[07:32] ---
    I'm going for a direct attack on your life.
[07:40] ---
    Starting with a Burst Trigger?
[07:42] ---
    Having regrets about betting all of your chips?
[07:46] ---
    Are you done?
[07:48] ---
    Defiant, aren't you? End of turn.
[07:50] ---
    My turn. Draw.
[07:53] ---
    Energy Set. Accept.
[07:55] ---
    Nadiya, Brahmadatta. Attack.
[08:00] ---
    End of turn.
[08:01] ---
    It's payback time.
    Arubel, Angel of Sword. Accept.
[08:06] ---
    With Arubel's appearance,
    Johanna's power goes up by three thousand.
[08:10] ---
    Using Johanna to attack Nadiya.
[08:15] ---
    Next, using Arubel to attack your life.
[08:19] ---
    End of turn.
[08:20] ---
    So she ended her turn keeping two Energy.
[08:21] ---
    My turn.
[08:23] ---
    As long as you still have Energy, there's a card that
    can take action even during your opponent's turn.
[08:29] ---
    Watch your back, Teruto.
[08:31] ---
    Viena, Battle Engineer. Accept.
[08:34] ---
    Using her powers to draw one card,
    while discarding another.
[08:37] ---
    Accepting an additional Viena.
[08:39] ---
    Drawing one card, discarding another.
[08:42] ---
    Using both Vienas to attack Johanna and Arubel.
[08:44] ---
    Oh!
[08:45] ---
    It could be a trap.
[08:50] ---
    What? It passed?
[08:52] ---
    Oh, Johanna! Arubel!
[08:55] ---
    End of turn.
[08:56] ---
    Not bad at all, Senpai.
[08:59] ---
    But that's as far as you'll go.
    I'm going to start playing for keeps now.
[09:03] ---
    Holy sword that cuts through fate. Accept.
[09:07] ---
    Douglark, Angel of Subjugation!
[09:16] ---
    Territory. Build Arise!
[09:34] ---
    Sky Fortress!
[09:38] ---
    So this is that girl's Territory.
[09:40] ---
    Activating Territory ability,
    drawing the top two cards from my deck.
[09:44] ---
    If I draw a Buster Card unit,
    I'm putting it on the field...
[09:48] ---
    Huh?
[09:50] ---
    That was my chance to send one unit to the field.
[09:53] ---
    You got lucky there huh, Senpai?
[09:55] ---
    Douglark refrains from attacking. End of turn.
[09:59] ---
    You'd think she would've sent it to fight.
[10:01] ---
    Is she worried about a counterattack?
[10:03] ---
    Maybe since you can keep your units
    standing without attacking,
[10:07] ---
    CAN BLOCK — CAN'T BLOCK
[10:07] ---
    she can make a move to block him?
[10:09] ---
    All right, now I can block you.
[10:12] ---
    Oh, I see.
[10:14] ---
    Spilling the beans herself.
[10:16] ---
    My turn.
[10:17] ---
    Once again, Nadiya. Accept.
[10:19] ---
    Now the command. Hard Luck Craps.
[10:22] ---
    Target Douglark.
[10:28] ---
    Reducing Douglark's power by three thousand.
[10:32] ---
    No way. Douglark!
[10:34] ---
    Using Nadiya to attack the player!
[10:36] ---
    Ouch! Whoa!
[10:40] ---
    Wait, is this girl...
[10:43] ---
    ...inferior?
[10:50] ---
    I can't go on like this. I've got to attack.
[10:53] ---
    Activating the Sky Fortress ability.
[10:56] ---
    All right!
[10:58] ---
    Buster Card.
[10:59] ---
    Sending Mahulena, Pyromaniac to the field.
[11:01] ---
    Inflicting three thousand damage on
    Nadiya with Mahulena's Appearance Effect.
[11:06] ---
    Scuir, Bubble Spirit. Accept.
[11:09] ---
    Using Mahulena to attack your life.
[11:12] ---
    Next, sending Scuir to attack.
[11:16] ---
    Yay! Another Burst.
[11:22] ---
    Huh?
[11:23] ---
    Gotcha. Shot Trigger.
[11:25] ---
    Shot Trigger, playing that card at no Cost.
[11:29] ---
    Command, Capital Breaker.
[11:31] ---
    Target Mahulena.
[11:32] ---
    Run, Mahulena!
[11:34] ---
    It's no use.
[11:40] ---
    Mahulena...
[11:42] ---
    End of turn.
[11:44] ---
    Draw.
[11:50] ---
    The only thing that awaits
    you up ahead is darkness.
[11:54] ---
    What?
[11:55] ---
    Sending all living beings into chaos.
    Repeating death and rebirth.
[12:01] ---
    Accept.
[12:02] ---
    Bloom, Soul Wager!
[12:11] ---
    Territory. Build Arise.
[12:17] ---
    Casino of Fate.
[12:19] ---
    Activating Territory ability.
[12:21] ---
    Sending two cards from my deck to the Cemetery,
[12:23] ---
    and betting my fate on
    the existence of a Buster Card.
[12:28] ---
    No Buster Card.
[12:29] ---
    Using Casino of Fate's effect to destroy Scuir.
[12:32] ---
    Scuir!
[12:34] ---
    I've won this wager.
[12:36] ---
    Resting Bloom and activating her ability.
[12:39] ---
    Removing the six cards in
    the Cemetery to infinite darkness.
[12:43] ---
    Sending Frida from the Cemetery to the field,
[12:45] ---
    and activating her ability, Scout Three.
[12:48] ---
    Switching the order of the top three
    cards in my deck at will.
[12:52] ---
    Using Frida to launch a
    Two-Hit Attack on the player.
[12:56] ---
    No Trigger. One more card.
[12:59] ---
    No way!
[13:04] ---
    This one too?
[13:05] ---
    Yay! It's a Shot Trigger.
[13:09] ---
    Shackle of Ethics.
[13:10] ---
    If I use this, I can return
    one unit to the top of my deck.
[13:15] ---
    But which one should I return?
[13:17] ---
    Frida's Two-Hit is scary.
[13:19] ---
    But if I just return a unit,
    she could show up again during my next turn.
[13:23] ---
    I should...
[13:24] ---
    Command. Shackle of Ethics. Target Bloom.
[13:32] ---
    End of turn.
[13:34] ---
    My turn.
[13:35] ---
    I've got to take down Frida during this turn.
[13:38] ---
    Activating Territory ability.
[13:41] ---
    Buster Card.
[13:42] ---
    Sending Nadiya to the field too.
[13:44] ---
    Using Nadiya's ability to draw one more card.
[13:48] ---
    This is where it starts.
[13:49] ---
    Mahulena, Accept.
[13:51] ---
    Inflicting three thousand damage on
    Frida with Mahulena's appearance.
[13:54] ---
    Please Mahulena. Defeat Frida!
[14:02] ---
    Thank you Mahulena.
[14:04] ---
    Next, using Nadiya to attack your life.
[14:08] ---
    End of turn.
[14:11] ---
    I'm not giving up, all right?
[14:14] ---
    Instead of using Nadiya to block an attack,
    she attacked his life. Bold play.
[14:19] ---
    Still.
[14:21] ---
    You have no clue about the true nature of darkness.
[14:26] ---
    Do you really think you can get
    through this if you try harder?
[14:31] ---
    My turn. Draw.
[14:36] ---
    Bloom.
[14:38] ---
    Bloom. Accept.
[14:40] ---
    That's right. That Ace...
[14:43] ---
    Activating her ability.
[14:45] ---
    The one who exploits the dead...
[14:47] ---
    Sacrifice yourself again to the battlefield, Frida.
[14:50] ---
    So this is the true nature of darkness.
[14:54] ---
    As long as Bloom exists, the darkness
    and the Cemetery will always be linked.
[14:59] ---
    Trample her, Frida.
[15:01] ---
    Unleash a Two-Hit Attack on her life.
[15:05] ---
    Here's the second hit!
[15:11] ---
    End of turn.
[15:15] ---
    Just one left.
[15:17] ---
    At this rate I'll...
[15:22] ---
    No...
[15:24] ---
    I don't want to lose!
[15:37] ---
    My turn. Activating Territory ability.
[15:41] ---
    Buster Cards costing less than five.
[15:43] ---
    Sending Godonis, Angel of War to the field.
[15:45] ---
    Also activating his abilities.
[15:48] ---
    Also checking the top card in my deck.
[15:50] ---
    If it's a unit costing less than four,
    I'm sending it to the field.
[15:52] ---
    Mahulena, Accept.
[15:54] ---
    With her appearance,
    Frida takes three thousand damage.
[15:57] ---
    Sorry about before. Leaving you all alone.
[16:00] ---
    One more time please. Douglark!
[16:07] ---
    For every fellow unit, Douglark
    receives a power-up of three thousand.
[16:12] ---
    I have three units in the field.
[16:14] ---
    Plus nine thousand,
    that's twelve thousand power.
[16:16] ---
    No! That's higher than Bloom's power stats.
[16:19] ---
    Using Douglark to attack Bloom.
[16:26] ---
    Activating Douglark's Attack Effect.
[16:29] ---
    Resting Nadiya, and keeping Douglark standing.
[16:32] ---
    Using Godonis to attack Frida.
[16:37] ---
    I'm not going to lose.
[16:38] ---
    If I lose, I'll have to go back there.
[16:40] ---
    If I lose, I'll be all alone again.
[16:44] ---
    I'm going to win, no matter what!
[16:55] ---
    The darkness. I've severed it.
[16:58] ---
    Douglark can still be stacked.
[17:00] ---
    Teruto's down to one life.
[17:03] ---
    If there's a Burst, he'll lose. But...
[17:06] ---
    It might not show up.
[17:08] ---
    Will it appear?
[17:11] ---
    Or not?
[17:13] ---
    Will I win?
[17:14] ---
    Or lose?
[17:18] ---
    Calm down Hiyori. His field is empty.
[17:22] ---
    I've got Mahulena standing by as a decoy.
[17:25] ---
    As long as she has a decoy,
    Teruto will have to attack it first.
[17:29] ---
    I'm leaving Douglark here as a blocker too.
[17:32] ---
    End of turn.
[17:33] ---
    I see. That's too bad.
[17:37] ---
    What?
[17:38] ---
    If you can't put your soul on the line,
    you can't win.
[17:41] ---
    My turn. Activating Territory ability!
[17:45] ---
    It's that Scout Three!
[17:47] ---
    Teruto knows how this is going to end.
[17:50] ---
    No Buster Cards.
[17:54] ---
    Annihilate Mahulena.
[17:56] ---
    Now that there are less units,
    Douglark's power stats will also go down.
[18:00] ---
    Now. Riverwort, DeadRook. Accept.
[18:14] ---
    Activating abilities.
    Slashing all enemy powers by six thousand.
[18:22] ---
    Now I'm finishing you off. Riverwort,
    unleash a Two-Hit Attack on the player.
[18:41] ---
    Winner, Teruto Kurabe.
[18:49] ---
    That final turn. If Douglark had gone after him,
    Teruto would've lost once a Burst was drawn.
[18:56] ---
    This time around, Teruto's determination won out.
[18:59] ---
    Is that what happened here?
[19:02] ---
    Good job.
[19:03] ---
    At least, that's what I'd normally say.
[19:05] ---
    But why did you bet all of your key chips?
[19:08] ---
    If you'd lost, it would've been all over for you.
[19:10] ---
    My only path is going forward.
[19:12] ---
    What's that supposed to mean?
[19:19] ---
    I lost!
[19:26] ---
    Hiyori, was it? You fought a great battle.
[19:29] ---
    It doesn't mean a thing if I lose.
[19:33] ---
    Why are you taking it so hard?
[19:35] ---
    Because it's my dream.
[19:42] ---
    Ever since I can remember,
    I've lived in the outer district.
[19:52] ---
    I was always all alone.
[19:54] ---
    What about your parents?
[19:56] ---
    I don't know. I think they must have died.
[20:02] ---
    I have no one to rely on.
[20:04] ---
    So maybe I'm just going to die here.
[20:07] ---
    That's what I always thought.
[20:10] ---
    But...
[20:19] ---
    Since then, I've practiced
    playing Build-Divide everyday.
[20:23] ---
    I started playing well enough to win battles.
[20:26] ---
    Finally, I was able to leave the outer district.
[20:29] ---
    Your dreams can come true
    in Neo Kyoto through Build-Divide.
[20:34] ---
    So I want to take down the King and go to
    that world filled with light just across the river.
[20:41] ---
    That's my dream.
[20:45] ---
    That dream will never come true.
[20:49] ---
    Come on, Teruto.
[20:51] ---
    Not a chance with the way you are now.
[20:57] ---
    I've made up my mind.
[20:59] ---
    Please let me be your apprentice!
[21:04] ---
    She's not talking to me, you know.
[21:06] ---
    I fought a pretty good battle, didn’t I?
[21:10] ---
    Don't you think that's amazing?
[21:11] ---
    My own potential is starting to scare me.
[21:15] ---
    So that I can polish these skills of mine,
    please make me your apprentice.
[21:20] ---
    Didn't see that coming.
[21:22] ---
    So...
[21:23] ---
    Though I am incompetent, please train me well.
[21:27] ---
    What are you going to do, Teruto?
[21:30] ---
    Going home.
[21:32] ---
    Please wait! Your number one apprentice Hiyori,
    will follow you to the ends of the earth.
[21:37] ---
    Shut it. You can go on being a lonely baby bird.
[21:42] ---
    Chick? How cute!
    I don't mind being a baby bird.
[21:46] ---
    Starting today, my name is Baby Bird.
[21:51] ---
    I'm looking forward to working with you.
[21:54] ---
    Master!
[21:57] ---
