[00:06] ---
    You really savor your food, don't you?
[00:09] ---
    Of course. We're celebrating for Master.
[00:13] ---
    After that last battle, we only need one more chip.
[00:16] ---
    Winner, Teruto Kurabe.
[00:19] ---
    Did you see the smile on Master's face?
[00:21] ---
    What?
[00:22] ---
    The corners of his mouth went up.
[00:24] ---
    I'd call that a smile.
[00:27] ---
    I guess so.
[00:31] ---
    He looks for challengers on his own.
[00:33] ---
    He's really changed for the better.
[00:36] ---
    I wonder what got into him all of a sudden?
[00:40] ---
    Have you asked him?
[00:44] ---
    Sorry, I just remembered I have to go somewhere.
[00:46] ---
    I'll take care of the bill.
[00:48] ---
    Sakura?
[00:49] ---
    You can have my food, okay?
[00:52] ---
    What?
[00:54] ---
    Sakura.
[01:00] ---
    Hey.
[01:02] ---
    You dropped this.
[01:03] ---
    Thank you very much.
[01:06] ---
    You're welcome.
[01:10] ---
    Sakura, wait up.
[01:24] ---
    One more.
[01:33] ---
    We have matched Teruto Kurabe
    with his next opponent.
[01:45] ---
    One chip away.
[03:17] ---
    #09 Reach for the Stars
[03:25] ---
    Ideal place for a showdown, right?
[03:28] ---
    It sure is.
[03:30] ---
    Here he comes.
[03:32] ---
    Is he in grade school?
[03:35] ---
    Don't underestimate him.
[03:36] ---
    Looks like he's just one chip away from the key, too.
[03:40] ---
    Then, does that mean he's equal to Master?
[03:45] ---
    Nice to meet you. I'm Mikhail Saiki.
[03:49] ---
    You're...
[03:51] ---
    Me?
[03:53] ---
    I recently met you at a café.
[03:57] ---
    Oh.
[03:58] ---
    This must be fate.
[04:01] ---
    Until now, the only thing I've sought
    from battling is strength.
[04:06] ---
    Today, I've discovered a new reason to fight.
[04:10] ---
    If I win this match, please go out with me.
[04:23] ---
    Hiyori?
[04:24] ---
    Declaring your love?
[04:26] ---
    I'm flattered, but it's just not happening.
[04:28] ---
    My object of desire is
    the cherry blossom tattooed samurai.
[04:32] ---
    Uh, well, um.
[04:33] ---
    Calm down, Hiyori.
[04:36] ---
    Miss Hiyori. Even your name is gorgeous.
[04:40] ---
    Deploying defensive barrier.
[04:53] ---
    One more chip, then I can see the King.
[04:58] ---
    Twenty chips. All in.
[05:00] ---
    Betting them all?
[05:02] ---
    Either way, only the winner can reach the King.
[05:06] ---
    Fine, me too.
[05:08] ---
    Call. Bloom.
[05:11] ---
    Call. Vertiga.
[05:15] ---
    - Build-Divide.
    - Build-Divide.
[05:26] ---
    Up to here, it's been a back-and-forth battle.
[05:31] ---
    Raise your voice, let out a lonely roar.
[05:35] ---
    Accept.
[05:37] ---
    Vertiga, Valiant Frontiersman.
[05:42] ---
    Territory. Build Arise.
[05:46] ---
    Citadel of Lava and Snow.
[05:49] ---
    With Vertiga's appearance, I'll stand two Energy.
[05:52] ---
    Then, I'll use that Energy.
[05:54] ---
    Accept. Leptonica, Berserker of Snow Fields.
[05:58] ---
    Now, I'm coming for you.
[06:03] ---
    Using Vertiga to attack Bloom.
[06:07] ---
    Activating Bloom's ability.
[06:09] ---
    Checking the top of my deck.
[06:13] ---
    Shame. Looks like it wasn't a Buster.
[06:18] ---
    Bloom got taken out.
[06:20] ---
    I see.
[06:22] ---
    His deck is the type to store lots of Energy.
[06:25] ---
    Allowing him to unleash powerful units.
[06:28] ---
    Also, thanks to the Citadel of Lava and Snow...
[06:30] ---
    If one of his units is destroyed,
    he can leave it in the Energy Zone.
[06:34] ---
    Making it easy to send out reinforcements.
[06:37] ---
    That's a powerful Territory ability.
[06:39] ---
    Accept.
[06:42] ---
    Goltopazos, Blazing Fire Dragon.
[06:49] ---
    Until now, the only thing I've sought
    from battling is strength.
[06:53] ---
    Then, I realized something.
[06:55] ---
    Strength means having the overwhelming power
    to refuse succumbing to anyone.
[07:00] ---
    The winner's tale continues on beyond that strength.
[07:05] ---
    When Endive is destroyed, her ability is activated.
[07:07] ---
    Using a Command Card from
    my opponent's Cemetery.
[07:10] ---
    Worm Hunting.
[07:12] ---
    Increasing Bloom's power by three thousand.
[07:14] ---
    This is it.
[07:16] ---
    Well, it's true that Bloom might be able
    to surpass Granadiga in power.
[07:21] ---
    It would be risky to go after Bloom now.
[07:25] ---
    So, I just have to take down the player.
[07:28] ---
    Then, let's go. To our ending.
[07:39] ---
    Master!
[07:40] ---
    Teruto!
[07:43] ---
    Up to now, you've battled magnificently.
[07:46] ---
    Even if you lose,
    you should pat yourself on the back.
[07:51] ---
    Me, lose?
[07:57] ---
    Until I reach the King...
[08:00] ---
    I won't let myself lose.
[08:03] ---
    Brace yourself.
[08:04] ---
    This is where the fun really starts.
[08:08] ---
    Activating Bloom's ability.
[08:11] ---
    Calling Riverwort from the Cemetery.
[08:14] ---
    Then, Accept.
[08:17] ---
    Bertruga, Black Sword Dragon.
[08:21] ---
    Activating Bertruga's ability.
[08:23] ---
    Discarding a single card from my hand.
[08:25] ---
    Reducing Goltopazos' power by seven thousand.
[08:29] ---
    Using Riverwort to attack Granadiga.
[08:37] ---
    That's my Master.
[08:39] ---
    Activating Granadiga's ability.
[08:41] ---
    By removing him when he's been destroyed...
[08:44] ---
    I can send Vertiga to the field from my Energy Zone.
[08:46] ---
    Using Bertruga to attack Vertiga.
[08:53] ---
    Activating Bertruga's ability.
[08:55] ---
    Removing two cards from my Cemetery to power up.
[09:01] ---
    Yay!
[09:03] ---
    If I withdraw my units now, I'll still have a chance.
[09:10] ---
    I can't allow this tale to end just yet.
[09:13] ---
    Activating Leptonica's ability
    in the Energy Zone. Accept.
[09:18] ---
    Activating Citadel of Lava and Snow's ability.
[09:20] ---
    Increasing Leptonica's hits by one,
    then attacking the player.
[09:27] ---
    Shot Trigger?
[09:28] ---
    Command. Cursed Trump Card.
[09:36] ---
    End of turn.
[09:38] ---
    Game over.
[09:39] ---
    He still has some lives left,
    but he has almost no chance.
[09:44] ---
    I never thought it would turn out like this.
[09:48] ---
    Please tell me something.
[09:50] ---
    What does strength mean to you?
[09:53] ---
    Strength?
[09:56] ---
    For me it means never to lose sight of my path.
[10:00] ---
    Never to lose my way again,
    so I can meet the King.
[10:05] ---
    I'm going to conquer my own path.
[10:07] ---
    Using Bloom to attack the player.
[10:22] ---
    Winner, Teruto Kurabe.
[10:27] ---
    I'll be rooting for your success against the King.
[10:40] ---
    So this is the key?
[10:44] ---
    Congratulations, Master.
[10:46] ---
    Right. Now I can go to where Kikka is.
[10:51] ---
    You defeated me soundly.
[10:52] ---
    Someone like me could never hope
    to win you over, Miss Hiyori.
[10:57] ---
    Mikhail.
[10:59] ---
    The next time we meet,
    I'll be stronger than I am now.
[11:02] ---
    I promise to be a man worthy of you.
[11:05] ---
    Please, won't you give me another chance?
[11:09] ---
    Why are you so hung up on strength?
[11:13] ---
    There's someone I wish to defeat.
[11:15] ---
    What?
[11:17] ---
    It's nothing.
[11:20] ---
    Um, listen, I happen to like strong people.
[11:24] ---
    But not just strong,
    someone with lots of comrades around him.
[11:30] ---
    Let's see, maybe forty-seven of them?
[11:34] ---
    Forty-seven?
[11:36] ---
    I hope you'll find some wonderful comrades.
[11:43] ---
    You're the wonderful one...
[11:45] ---
    Actually, I should let Naomitsu know, too.
[11:50] ---
    We've acquired the key.
[11:52] ---
    It's all thanks to you.
[11:55] ---
    I'm glad I believed in you.
[11:58] ---
    I truly appreciate this.
[12:01] ---
    Your face doesn't match your words.
[12:05] ---
    I'm going to use this key to have my wish granted.
[12:11] ---
    What are you talking about?
[12:13] ---
    Sakura?
[12:22] ---
    I enjoyed our time together, both of you.
[12:27] ---
    Thank you.
[12:33] ---
    Sakura?
[12:40] ---
    Right until the end,
    I couldn't bring myself to tell them.

[12:43] ---
    The truth is, I'm just like Teruto.
[12:46] ---
    When I came to, I had no memory of
    who I was, or where I was from.

[13:01] ---
    Where am I?
[13:03] ---
    It's cold.
[13:08] ---
    Who are you?
[13:09] ---
    Nice to meet you.
    I go by Tatsumi Ishinome around here.
[13:15] ---
    Ishinome.
[13:16] ---
    Who are you to me?
[13:21] ---
    Friends, I guess?
[13:23] ---
    Friends. I don't remember you.
[13:26] ---
    Then we can just start being friends now.
[13:30] ---
    Tell me. Who am I?
[13:33] ---
    What's my name?
    Where's my family? Where do I live?
[13:37] ---
    You're full of questions.
[13:40] ---
    Don't worry. I'll give you everything.
[13:43] ---
    First of all, your name is Sakura.
[13:51] ---
    Sakura.
[13:54] ---
    Just as he promised, Ishinome gave me everything.
[13:58] ---
    A place to live, a social status.
[14:02] ---
    But it was just deception.
[14:10] ---
    Why am I different from everyone else?
    I don't get hungry or sleepy.
[14:16] ---
    It's not so bad. Why don't you relax about it?
[14:20] ---
    My memory hasn't come back at all.
[14:23] ---
    The only thing I remember is that Rebuild Battle.
[14:26] ---
    When I battled the King.
[14:29] ---
    Did I win?
    Is this my punishment, how I am now?
[14:33] ---
    Hm, I wouldn't call it a punishment.
[14:37] ---
    Give me a straight answer, will you?
[14:40] ---
    That day, when you fought the King,
    you had a certain wish.
[14:46] ---
    But we couldn't grant it to you in whole.
[14:50] ---
    So only the non-physical part of you made it here.
[14:54] ---
    In other words, I'm just my soul right now?
[14:58] ---
    Where's my body?
[15:06] ---
    Neo Kyoto Tower.
[15:10] ---
    Did the King steal my body?
[15:14] ---
    Give it back.
[15:15] ---
    There are some things I can do,
    and some that I can't.
[15:19] ---
    Then, I'm getting it back with my own two hands.
[15:22] ---
    That's impossible.
[15:25] ---
    The only way to reach the King
    is by winning Rebuild Battles.
[15:29] ---
    Since you only exist as your soul,
    you can't participate in Rebuilds.
[15:36] ---
    No way.
[15:37] ---
    Does that mean I'll never be able to eat or sleep?
[15:43] ---
    Never do anything a human would do.
[15:46] ---
    Even now, look how sad I am,
    but I can't shed a single tear.
[15:52] ---
    Why do I even exist then?
[15:56] ---
    I wouldn't think about it so deeply.
[15:59] ---
    Why not just live a blissful life?
[16:04] ---
    I won't give up.
[16:07] ---
    But you...
[16:09] ---
    I just have to find someone who
    will fight in Rebuild Battles for me.
[16:14] ---
    I need chips to do that.
[16:16] ---
    You want me to just steal some?
[16:18] ---
    You're partly responsible for this. Take duty.
[16:23] ---
    With such a desperate girl asking me,
    I don't know how I'd say no.
[16:34] ---
    I'll find someone no matter what.
[16:37] ---
    Someone who will seize the stars for me.
[16:42] ---
    Since then, I consumed all my time with Build-Divide.
[16:47] ---
    So I could find someone
    skilled enough to complete the key.

[16:52] ---
    But time kept passing without any Rebuilds being held.
[17:10] ---
    What's going on?
[17:14] ---
    I didn't have a moment to lose.
[17:18] ---
    Just then, I was notified that a Rebuild was starting.
[17:23] ---
    Then, I met him. Time started flowing again.
[17:39] ---
    It's all thanks to you.
[17:46] ---
    If my only other option is to disappear,
    I have to do whatever it takes.

[17:50] ---
    That's what I swore to myself.
[17:56] ---
    Those who play with destiny, and those who resist.
[18:01] ---
    Seriously, humans are so precious.
[18:10] ---
    Come to think of it, the cards that were last issued...
[18:14] ---
    I don't use black cards, so if you want this, it's yours.
[18:20] ---
    Then, I'll trade you for this one.
[18:23] ---
    Thank you very much.
[18:24] ---
    Hey, you guys.
[18:27] ---
    I brought something to celebrate with.
[18:29] ---
    Huh?
[18:32] ---
    Hey, Teruto. Here's some croissants.
[18:35] ---
    What's wrong?
[18:37] ---
    Naomitsu!
[19:08] ---
    She planned to take the key from the start,
    and just used Teruto?
[19:13] ---
    Betraying you two by pretending to be your friend?
[19:16] ---
    Sakura isn't like that.
[19:18] ---
    I'm sure she had a reason.
[19:21] ---
    But if she stole the key,
    she's planning to battle the King herself, right?
[19:54] ---
    She can't.
[19:55] ---
    What?
[19:56] ---
    If she battles the King, Sakura will...
[19:59] ---
    We have to save her.
[20:00] ---
    Master, what are you talking about?
[20:04] ---
    Even if she fights the King,
    her wish won't be granted.
[20:08] ---
    I've won a Rebuild Battle against the King once.
[20:26] ---
    I'm so disappointed it was you who came.
[20:29] ---
    Where's Teruto?
[20:30] ---
    He's not coming.
    I'm the one who's going to defeat you.
[20:34] ---
    Are you stupid?
[20:36] ---
    Don't you see it's impossible?
    I'm the King, remember?
[20:41] ---
    Calling yourself the King, when you stole my body?
[20:45] ---
    You're just a fake.
[20:46] ---
    What? You're just a hollow doll,
    so don't give me attitude.
[20:52] ---
    Hey. What's with that look?
[20:55] ---
    People must say you have a lousy personality.
[20:57] ---
    You're both so headstrong.
[21:00] ---
    Not that I don't think that's attractive.
[21:03] ---
    I'll overlook the fact that you pilfered those chips.
[21:06] ---
    Wait, seriously?
[21:08] ---
    So I was busted anyway?
[21:13] ---
    The plan had its errors,
    but this is entertaining enough.
[21:18] ---
    Sakura Banka's request to
    challenge the King is accepted.
[21:24] ---
    Fine. I was feeling bored anyway.
[21:32] ---
    As you wish, I'll give you maximum torture.
[21:36] ---
    I don't have anything to lose.
[21:39] ---
    I'm going to regain what's mine.
[21:42] ---
    With my own hands.
[21:44] ---
    Call. Iora.
[21:47] ---
    Call. Margreia.
[21:54] ---
    - Build-Divide.
    - Build-Divide.
[21:57] ---
    TO BE CONTINUED
[23:30] ---
    There's no way your wish will be granted.
[23:32] ---
    I'll have it granted if it's the last thing I do!
[23:35] ---
    Humans sure are entertaining, aren't they?
[23:36] ---
