**[00:08] ---**
This is the financial statement.
**[00:11] ---**
It's also got all the other data
you wanted to know.
**[00:15] ---**
I have received it.
**[00:17] ---**
I wonder how it can be of use to you.
**[00:21] ---**
The Kiba family isn't even a company anymore.
**[00:25] ---**
And about that, uh...
**[00:28] ---**
That photo...
**[00:31] ---**
You should check your mailbox
when you get home.
**[00:35] ---**
There may be a package.
**[00:41] ---**
Yeah, I know. Shion Kiba, right?
**[00:45] ---**
It looks like he's putting up a
good fight. For a spoiled brat...
**[00:52] ---**
I'm not gonna mess it up like that.
But thanks for your concern.
**[00:58] ---**
Like an old woman...
**[01:01] ---**
Well...
**[01:04] ---**
I'd better teach him a lesson.
**[01:08] ---**
One so harsh that he'll never
think of making a stand again.
**[02:46] ---**
Long time no see, Shion.
**[02:49] ---**
All this time, I thought you'd
moved with your parents.
**[02:54] ---**
You look well.
**[02:56] ---**
You haven't changed, Yuuya.
**[02:58] ---**
Oh, lately I've been learning
about leadership from a tycoon,
**[03:04] ---**
and there's been no time
just to relax, you know?
**[03:07] ---**
I swear, I'm envious of
your carefree lifestyle.
**[03:11] ---**
I understand you made a killing
during the Kiba takeover.
**[03:17] ---**
That was business. Don't hold it against me.
**[03:23] ---**
So, what?
**[03:24] ---**
After all this time, did you
summon me here to take me to task?
**[03:29] ---**
I have a little favor to ask.
**[03:31] ---**
A favor?
**[03:34] ---**
I see. You're a lot meeker
than the Shion I knew.
**[03:38] ---**
But then, first...
**[03:42] ---**
...I think I'll have you kneel before me!
**[03:49] ---**
It seems you really have been busy.
**[03:52] ---**
You've gotten rather rusty, Speed King.
**[04:00] ---**
Who gave you the info
that Kiba could be sold?
**[04:04] ---**
Oh, I don't want you to get the wrong idea.
**[04:07] ---**
I already know the answer.
**[04:10] ---**
I could reveal it at the proper juncture,
**[04:13] ---**
but I wanted to hear it
out of your mouth first.
**[04:18] ---**
I think that's enough out of you.
**[04:30] ---**
It seems you've been busy looking for me.
**[04:33] ---**
Last time, I forgot to ask
for your contact info.
**[04:37] ---**
So you used him as bait to lure me out...
**[04:41] ---**
You wouldn't think it,
but he's a childhood friend.
**[04:43] ---**
I know better than you how to handle him.
**[04:47] ---**
That's cold.
**[04:49] ---**
I could've just let you be,
**[04:52] ---**
but it's annoying to have a fruit fly
flitting around where I can see it.
**[04:56] ---**
I guess it's because I like
to keep things clean?
**[04:59] ---**
I want to settle things between us.
**[05:04] ---**
If I win, I'd like you to
return the sword of radiance.
**[05:08] ---**
To you people, I'm sure it's just a
rusty sword that's worth nothing now.
**[05:14] ---**
But to me, it's the symbol
of the Kiba family.
**[05:19] ---**
My family has passed it down and
protected it for generations.
**[05:27] ---**
I see.
**[05:28] ---**
Then you're still the Kiba successor, huh?
**[05:33] ---**
But that's not enough for a real contest.
**[05:36] ---**
If I win, I get nothing.
**[05:44] ---**
If I win, you throw away your deck.
**[05:49] ---**
And you will never touch a card again.
**[05:56] ---**
Fine!
***SIGN*** Turn 17 Shion Versus Ace
**[06:06] ---**
You decide the location.
**[06:09] ---**
I'm sure you would raise an eyebrow
over this and that if it's in my territory.
**[06:14] ---**
I appreciate your consideration.
**[06:18] ---**
We'll use our own decks tonight.
**[06:21] ---**
Whoever loses will have no excuse, right?
**[06:23] ---**
Right.
**[06:26] ---**
Stand up the Vanguard!
**[06:26] ---**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[06:41] ---**
Resurgent Knight, Stius!
**[06:44] ---**
Undying Departed, Grenache!
**[06:47] ---**
Granblue... As I expected...
**[06:50] ---**
Ride!
**[06:52] ---**
Headwind Knight, Selim!
**[06:54] ---**
I ride Parting Shade.
**[06:57] ---**
Attack.
**[07:00] ---**
Ride!
**[07:02] ---**
Counteroffensive Knight, Suleiman!
**[07:05] ---**
I call Knight of Twin Sword!
**[07:07] ---**
Attack!
**[07:11] ---**
Ride!
**[07:12] ---**
Pirate Swordsman, Colombard!
**[07:15] ---**
I call Witch Doctor of Languor, Negrolazy!
**[07:19] ---**
Attack.
**[07:22] ---**
Negrolazy!
**[07:24] ---**
Guard!
**[07:28] ---**
Unbreakable sword, uncrushable soul,
**[07:31] ---**
now more than ever, follow my steel will!
**[07:33] ---**
I ride Blue Sky Knight, Altmile!
**[07:38] ---**
I heard the rumor.
**[07:40] ---**
You fought Toshiki Kai?
**[07:44] ---**
Call!
**[07:46] ---**
Twin Sword attacks Negrolazy!
**[07:48] ---**
No guard.
**[07:51] ---**
Everyone made a fuss about the team that
beat Stargate Branch for the first time.
**[07:56] ---**
I didn't think you were
interested in the G Quest.
**[08:00] ---**
I am something of a fighter myself, you know.
**[08:05] ---**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[08:06] ---**
No guard.
**[08:08] ---**
Twin drive!
**[08:11] ---**
I got a critical trigger!
**[08:16] ---**
You're busy too, huh?
**[08:18] ---**
Doing the G Quest with your friends?
**[08:21] ---**
As well as chasing me down?
**[08:26] ---**
Ride!
**[08:27] ---**
Vampire Princess of Night Fog, Nightrose!
**[08:31] ---**
Stride Generation.
**[08:36] ---**
Pirate King of Secret Schemes,
**[08:39] ---**
Bandit Rum!
**[08:41] ---**
Stride skill. I call Negrolazy from my drop zone.
**[08:46] ---**
+2000 power.
**[08:48] ---**
Negrolazy becomes hollowed.
**[08:54] ---**
Hollow...
**[08:55] ---**
In exchange for retiring it at the
end of the turn, I can gain a skill.
**[09:01] ---**
Negrolazy's skill activated.
**[09:04] ---**
I call Colombard from my drop zone.
**[09:07] ---**
+2000 power.
**[09:09] ---**
The ability to bring back a
rear-guard from the drop zone...
**[09:13] ---**
Kill it again and again,
but it's resurrected.
**[09:15] ---**
And it gets stronger
every time it comes back.
**[09:18] ---**
This is my Granblue deck!
**[09:21] ---**
Here I go. Bandit Rum attacks!
**[09:30] ---**
Bandit Rum's skill activated.
**[09:32] ---**
I call Rough Seas Banshee from the drop zone.
**[09:36] ---**
+2000 power.
**[09:38] ---**
I retire Grenache.
**[09:40] ---**
Colombard attacks your Vanguard.
**[09:43] ---**
Colombard's skill activated.
**[09:45] ---**
I call Grenache.
**[09:48] ---**
Grenache becomes hollowed.
**[09:53] ---**
Guard!
**[09:55] ---**
To be honest, I'm surprised.
**[09:58] ---**
I was so sure you'd demand
the return of Kiba if you won.
**[10:03] ---**
Intercept!
**[10:05] ---**
I get it.
**[10:06] ---**
It's not that you don't say it.
You can't say it.
**[10:12] ---**
Even though its head has been replaced,
it's been smooth sailing for Kiba.
**[10:16] ---**
The company is functioning very well.
**[10:19] ---**
Other than ousting your family, the founders,
not one person has been laid off.
***SIGN*** Kiba HD Going Strong
**[10:26] ---**
If you were to stroll out now
**[10:28] ---**
and turn things upside down again,
the result would be utter chaos.
**[10:33] ---**
It's likely Kiba would
crumble to its foundations.
**[10:40] ---**
Turn end.
**[10:42] ---**
I put my hollowed units into the drop zone.
**[10:45] ---**
Skill activated.
**[10:47] ---**
Countercharge. Soulcharge.
**[10:51] ---**
This is reality.
**[10:54] ---**
Well, I'm sure you understand it, too.
**[10:58] ---**
Don't think...
**[11:00] ---**
Don't think things will go your way forever!
**[11:05] ---**
Stride Generation!
**[11:13] ---**
Aerial Divine Knight,
**[11:16] ---**
Altmile!
**[11:18] ---**
Stride skill!
**[11:20] ---**
I call Sicilus and Twin Sword!
**[11:23] ---**
+5000 power to Twin Sword and Light Order!
**[11:27] ---**
Aerial Divine Knight, Altmile's skill!
**[11:31] ---**
+3000 power to all of the front row units!
**[11:39] ---**
Huh. You're still struggling.
**[11:42] ---**
Go ahead and laugh.
**[11:45] ---**
You wouldn't be able to understand.
**[11:47] ---**
Someone with no name or
responsibility to bear...
**[11:52] ---**
Someone with nothing to protect
cannot understand!
**[11:57] ---**
Aerial Divine Knight, Altmile
attacks your Vanguard!
**[12:02] ---**
Play in that little sandbox
of yours for eternity!
**[12:08] ---**
Perfect guard.
**[12:11] ---**
You're right. I can't understand.
**[12:14] ---**
I can't understand a coddled upbringing in
which you only have your name to cling to.
**[12:20] ---**
Don't flatter yourself,
**[12:22] ---**
you poor little rich kid!
**[12:37] ---**
Certainly, you're different from last time.
**[12:40] ---**
Maybe you've experienced
the pain of reality a bit?
**[12:44] ---**
But this isn't true despair, you know.
**[12:50] ---**
I'll show you my reality!
**[12:54] ---**
Experience despair and rise!
**[12:57] ---**
This is where I am now!
**[13:00] ---**
Stride Generation!
**[13:06] ---**
Mist Phantasm Pirate King, Nightrose.
**[13:11] ---**
Stride skill.
**[13:13] ---**
I call Colombard from my drop zone.
**[13:16] ---**
+2000 power.
**[13:18] ---**
I put Rough Seas Banshee in the Soul.
**[13:21] ---**
I call Negrobone.
**[13:24] ---**
Colombard attacks your Vanguard.
**[13:27] ---**
Skill activated.
**[13:29] ---**
I call Ghoul Dragon, Gast Dragon
from my drop zone.
**[13:32] ---**
I put Gast Dragon in a Hollow state.
**[13:34] ---**
There!
**[13:36] ---**
You'll never take back
the Kiba honor like this!
**[13:40] ---**
Guard!
**[13:41] ---**
Or have you given up already?
**[13:44] ---**
After all, you want that shabby sword,
not Kiba, right?
**[13:51] ---**
Gast Dragon attacks your Vanguard!
**[13:54] ---**
Skill activated. +3000 power.
**[13:58] ---**
If it's hollowed, it gets another 5000!
**[14:02] ---**
No guard!
**[14:08] ---**
A useless rusty sword and the
fallen son of a distinguished family...
**[14:13] ---**
True, you are made for each other.
**[14:15] ---**
Well, you have been working hard.
**[14:19] ---**
Nobody can accuse you of giving up.
**[14:22] ---**
Shut it...
**[14:24] ---**
Shut your mouth!
**[14:26] ---**
I swear I'll make you pay
for what you've done!
**[14:31] ---**
So the mask has finally come off...
**[14:34] ---**
Nightrose attacks your Vanguard.
**[14:37] ---**
Skill activated.
**[14:38] ---**
I call Tommy the Ghostie Brothers
and Gast Dragon from the drop zone.
**[14:44] ---**
I retire the one that's served its purpose.
**[14:48] ---**
I put Gust Dragon in a Hollowed state.
**[14:53] ---**
Perfect guard!
**[14:55] ---**
Triple drive.
**[14:59] ---**
This is you, Shion Kiba.
**[15:03] ---**
At the critical moment, you always blow it.
**[15:05] ---**
You lost against Toshiki Kai, too.
**[15:08] ---**
Your friend is the one who won.
**[15:11] ---**
You just rode on his coattails.
**[15:16] ---**
I give all of the effects to Gast Dragon.
**[15:20] ---**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[15:22] ---**
On top of that, +3000 power with a skill!
**[15:27] ---**
Scouting Owl's brave!
**[15:29] ---**
With three or fewer cards in my hand,
it gets +5000 to its shield!
**[15:33] ---**
Plus Twin Sword and Hopesong intercept!
**[15:37] ---**
You don't deny it, huh?
**[15:40] ---**
It makes sense.
**[15:41] ---**
You know that better than anyone.
**[15:45] ---**
That's right. This is reality.
**[15:55] ---**
You're right.
**[15:58] ---**
This is reality.
**[16:04] ---**
Let's wrap this game up.
**[16:07] ---**
Bow down before my sword!
**[16:11] ---**
Now, engrave a new heroic epic!
**[16:15] ---**
Grasp the world that I desire!
**[16:22] ---**
Stride Generation!
**[16:35] ---**
Transcending the Heavens,
**[16:38] ---**
Altmile!
**[16:40] ---**
A new unit?!
**[16:42] ---**
Stride skill!
**[16:43] ---**
+5000 power to Altmile and Sicilus!
**[16:48] ---**
I move Sicilus!
**[16:50] ---**
Transcending the Heavens, Altmile's skill!
**[16:52] ---**
For each face-up Aerial Divine Knight, Altmile
in the G Zone,
**[16:56] ---**
all of the front row units get +2000 power,
**[16:59] ---**
for a total of +6000 power!
**[17:08] ---**
I've known your base of operations
for quite some time now.
**[17:13] ---**
But that doesn't matter.
**[17:15] ---**
What I want to know...
**[17:18] ---**
...is who's behind you?!
**[17:21] ---**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[17:24] ---**
Guard!
**[17:26] ---**
I don't care how strong or sharp you are,
**[17:29] ---**
it's impossible for a kid like you to
maneuver that amount of people and money.
**[17:36] ---**
There's definitely someone behind you.
**[17:39] ---**
That's the one I need to hunt down,
the true enemy.
**[17:43] ---**
Transcending the Heavens, Altmile
attacks your Vanguard!
**[17:49] ---**
Skill activated!
**[17:51] ---**
I superior call Shyngal!
**[17:53] ---**
+5000 power! +6000 on top of that!
**[17:58] ---**
Uncle Utsugi?
**[18:00] ---**
I know better than anyone that he
doesn't have that kind of power.
**[18:04] ---**
No guard...
**[18:06] ---**
I lost everything,
**[18:08] ---**
but I know this from observing
ever since I was born.
**[18:13] ---**
How some people move the world...
**[18:15] ---**
Laugh at me. Look down at me.
**[18:18] ---**
As long as I'm prepared to get smeared with mud,
there are any number of steps I can take.
**[18:24] ---**
This is my reality.
**[18:32] ---**
Under this new administration, Kiba has begun
making deals with businesses it hadn't before.
**[18:38] ---**
It's a very complicated channel,
**[18:40] ---**
but if you follow it, it leads you
to an unexpected destination.
**[18:45] ---**
Triple drive!
**[18:49] ---**
The Vanguard Association.
**[18:53] ---**
I stand Sicilus. +5000 power.
**[19:04] ---**
Krieg Glow Immortal!
**[19:22] ---**
From the beginning, you...
**[19:25] ---**
The deal you suggested for the sword was
a bluff to make me let my guard down!
**[19:32] ---**
I attack your Vanguard.
**[19:35] ---**
+2000 power to Shyngal!
**[19:40] ---**
Even if I protect against this, I won't be
able to guard against the one that's standing!
**[19:45] ---**
All I can do now is gamble on a trigger...
**[19:49] ---**
No guard!
**[19:51] ---**
The Kiba fortune was funneled
into organizations related to
**[19:55] ---**
the Association and its founder,
Ryuzu Myoujin.
**[19:59] ---**
It seems he has grand designs.
**[20:02] ---**
Kiba was targeted as a source of capital.
**[20:06] ---**
Ryuzu Myoujin is pulling your strings.
**[20:10] ---**
Am I wrong?
**[20:21] ---**
You think I'm gonna answer that?
**[20:24] ---**
I don't want you to get the wrong idea.
**[20:27] ---**
I already know the answer.
**[20:30] ---**
I just wanted to hear it out of your mouth.
**[21:07] ---**
Wait!
**[21:35] ---**
That was...
**[23:41] ---**
Dad... Mom...
**[23:58] ---**
I won't forget this humiliation!
**[24:01] ---**
Do as you please.
**[24:03] ---**
Struggle all you want!
You'll never get Kiba's glory back!

**[24:11] ---**
Yeah. That's enough.

I don't have time to deal with you now.
