[00:01] ---
    The gathering of Stride Force is complete.
[00:06] ---
    GIRS has become inoperable,
[00:08] ---
    and there were misgivings about
    the required amount of security,
[00:11] ---
    but a new system will be created soon,
[00:13] ---
    which will clear up these issues.
[00:17] ---
    And now I shall begin summoning the
    final unit of the Zodiac Time Beasts.
[00:22] ---
    I don't require any help.
[00:25] ---
    In fact, you would only get in the way.
[00:27] ---
    If you have Wakamizu, no one else is needed.
[00:30] ---
    Although if you insist,
    please check on the Peacemaker.
[00:34] ---
    Well, Wakamizu also developed
    the control management program,
[00:39] ---
    so there's no chance of any problem.
[00:44] ---
    That's right. Everything
    Wakamizu does is perfect.
[02:19] ---
    It's all gone according to their plans.
[02:22] ---
    What are you gonna do?
    Just sit there and take it?
[02:27] ---
    The time is coming soon
     when everything will be settled.
[02:38] ---
    It's going smoothly.
[02:40] ---
    Naturally.
[02:42] ---
    I haven't committed a single error.
[02:44] ---
    Everything is going smoothly.
    It couldn't be any other way.
[02:49] ---
    I see. How boring.
[02:53] ---
    We have all the Depend Cards,
    and the Peacemaker is secured.
[02:58] ---
    Soon, we'll also obtain the final unit
    that's necessary to open the Stride Gate.
[03:04] ---
    At this rate, it'll all be over soon
    with our easy victory.
[03:08] ---
    I'd like to enjoy this
    situation a little more.
[03:13] ---
    What do you propose?
[03:17] ---
    Let me tinker a little.
[03:21] ---
    With your system, that is.
[03:31] ---
    That won't do! That just won't do!
[03:37] ---
    I definitely do not grant you permission.
[03:40] ---
    Then why don't we look for
    judgment on the matter?
[03:44] ---
    Judgment from the
    "truth of this world" or whatever...
SIGN    Turn 42 Shinonome's Joy
[03:58] ---
    Shion!
[04:01] ---
    What are you two doing here?!
[04:14] ---
    To be honest,
[04:15] ---
    I'm not very interested in the extreme future
[04:18] ---
    that Ryuzu is calling for.
[04:20] ---
    I'm surprised.
[04:23] ---
    No, not really.
[04:25] ---
    However, I shall not
    allow any interference...
[04:30] ---
    ...with my perfect experiment!
[04:34] ---
    I ride Boulder Fetter, Gjoll!
[04:37] ---
    Call.
[04:39] ---
    I attack your Vanguard!
[04:47] ---
    I ride Intimidating Mutant, Darkface!
[04:50] ---
    Attack!
[04:53] ---
    No guard.
[04:55] ---
    Twin drive!
[04:57] ---
    Heal trigger!
[04:58] ---
    I give Aristscythe +5000 power!
[05:04] ---
    Facing the theme I am meant to realize,
[05:07] ---
    posing hypotheses,
[05:09] ---
    carrying out experiments,
[05:11] ---
    and then devoting myself to that alone...
[05:14] ---
    For Wakamizu, there is no greater joy!
[05:19] ---
    It's bliss, I tell you!
[05:23] ---
    It's not fair that you
    get to have all the fun.
[05:27] ---
    Ride!
[05:29] ---
    Mythic Beast, Fenrir!
[05:31] ---
    Stride Generation!
[05:35] ---
    Great Angel, Doom Brace!
[05:38] ---
    Stride skill!
[05:40] ---
    Soulcharge.
[05:41] ---
    When the Vanguard Soul-blasts,
    I can call that unit.
[05:46] ---
    Doom Brace's skill.
[05:48] ---
    I give +5000 power to Hati and Gleipnir.
[05:51] ---
    And then, Soul-charge.
[05:53] ---
    On top of that, skill activated.
[05:55] ---
    I call Skoll.
[05:56] ---
    +3000 power with Hati's skill.
[06:00] ---
    Combining Soul-charge and Soul-blast,
[06:03] ---
    filling the field, and powering up the units.
[06:07] ---
    Those are your tried and true
     tactics, aren't they?
[06:10] ---
    Hati moves back.
[06:12] ---
    Call!
[06:13] ---
    Kotonoha's Revelation.
[06:15] ---
    I look at the top card of my deck
    and decide where to put it.
[06:19] ---
    In the Soul.
[06:20] ---
    I rest one rear-guard.
[06:23] ---
    Revelation?
[06:25] ---
    I manipulate the deck and change the future.
[06:30] ---
    Kotonoha's skill activates!
[06:32] ---
    +2000 power.
[06:34] ---
    And another +2000 power with Bahn.
[06:36] ---
    Skoll boosts.
[06:39] ---
    Gleipnir attacks!
[06:41] ---
    Skill activated.
[06:42] ---
    Soul-charge! I draw one card.
[06:45] ---
    Since I put cards into the Soul,
[06:48] ---
    Kotonoha gets +3000 power.
[06:52] ---
    Doom Brace attacks!
[06:55] ---
    No guard!
[06:58] ---
    Triple drive.
[07:01] ---
    Heal trigger.
[07:03] ---
    I heal 1 damage point
[07:04] ---
    and give the power to Kotonoha. Attack!
[07:13] ---
    You made a comeback.
[07:16] ---
    But Shinonome, I have already
[07:20] ---
    verified your fight!
[07:26] ---
    Shion, are you here for Am, too?
[07:29] ---
    No. The one who called me here...
[07:32] ---
    ...is Ace.
[07:38] ---
    I have a favor to ask you three.
[07:41] ---
    A favor?
[07:43] ---
    I want you to help me save Luna.
[07:48] ---
    What's wrong with Luna?!
[07:50] ---
    Is she okay?! Is she safe?!
[07:54] ---
    She's trying to sacrifice herself
    to open the Stride Gate.
[08:01] ---
    She's been in a coma for a long time...
[08:03] ---
    ...and has become like a tool
    to control the units.
[08:08] ---
    In exchange for the Peacemaker ability,
[08:11] ---
    Luna Yumizuki has lost her sense of self.
[08:14] ---
    Why would she...?
[08:17] ---
    Luna chose that path herself, for my sake.
[08:23] ---
    Even though I'm not worth it.
[08:28] ---
    Please, help me!
[08:30] ---
    All I can do is depend on you! I can't...
[08:41] ---
    You do know what you've done to all of us?
[08:46] ---
    Of course I know.
[08:49] ---
    But there's no other way to save Luna.
[08:54] ---
    I don't have anything anymore.
[09:02] ---
    I would do anything to save Luna!
[09:05] ---
    I'll accept any punishment!
[09:07] ---
    I don't care what happens to me!
[09:09] ---
    So, please! Please help me save Luna!
[09:12] ---
    Enough already!
[09:16] ---
    Shion...
[09:18] ---
    I have no intention of forgiving you.
[09:43] ---
    The unit is in the process of being
    summoned without any problems,
[09:46] ---
    although that goes without saying.
[09:50] ---
    Shinonome...
[09:51] ---
    Your wicked thoughts
[09:54] ---
    will not cause Wakamizu's
    system to break down.
[09:57] ---
    Not by any means!
[09:59] ---
    Stride Generation!
[10:02] ---
    Merciless Mutant Deity, Darkface!
[10:05] ---
    Stride skill! I gigaparalyze
    two of your rear-guards!
[10:10] ---
    I call Punish!
[10:12] ---
    All of the enemy units in the same row
    as it are at rest,
[10:15] ---
    so Dark Device activates!
[10:17] ---
    +2000 power!
[10:19] ---
    I gigaparalyze one rear-guard!
[10:23] ---
    Merciless Mutant Deity,
    Darkface's Dark Device!
[10:27] ---
    Rosenberg's Dark Device!
[10:29] ---
    Against Gleipnir!
[10:31] ---
    These two units can't intercept!
[10:34] ---
    Your units are in the palm of my hand.
[10:38] ---
    They're my lab rats!
[10:44] ---
    Punish Stag attacks!
[10:47] ---
    Guard!
[10:48] ---
    Darkface attacks your Vanguard!
[10:52] ---
    Perfect guard!
[10:54] ---
    Triple drive!
[10:57] ---
    Heal trigger!
[10:58] ---
    I heal 1 damage point!
[11:04] ---
    That gives us another reversal!
[11:08] ---
    Stand and draw.
[11:12] ---
    As you can see,
     your paralyzed units can't stand!
[11:17] ---
    Your units are under my control!
[11:22] ---
    For now, anyway.
[11:24] ---
    Stride Generation!
[11:28] ---
    Mythical Destroyer Beast, Vanargandr!
[11:30] ---
    Stride skill!
[11:32] ---
    Soul-charge!
[11:33] ---
    Kotonoha's skill. +3000 power.
[11:37] ---
    Kotonoha and Hati move.
[11:39] ---
    Gelgja's skill!
[11:41] ---
    I put my Gelgja from the Soul
    to the bottom of the deck,
[11:44] ---
    and stand Hati.
[11:46] ---
    +3000 power.
[11:48] ---
    And then I Soul-charge.
    That's another +3000 power.
[11:53] ---
    Well done.
[11:55] ---
    I'm just warming up.
[11:58] ---
    Hati attacks!
[12:01] ---
    Vanargandr attacks your Vanguard!
[12:04] ---
    Skill activated! Soul-blast!
[12:07] ---
    Hati's skill! +6000 power!
[12:10] ---
    I move my Tahro from the drop zone
    to the bottom of the deck.
[12:13] ---
    Hati stands.
[12:15] ---
    Vanargandr's skill.
[12:17] ---
    I call the Soul-blasted Gjoll.
[12:20] ---
    Gjoll's Revelation.
[12:22] ---
    On top of that, +4000 power with a skill.
[12:25] ---
    I draw one card when it attacks.
[12:28] ---
    You live up to your reputation, Shinonome.
[12:30] ---
    However, I shall go even higher!
[12:34] ---
    Darkface's Generation Break!
[12:37] ---
    I rest the Gjoll that was just called!
[12:41] ---
    To Wakamizu, Vanguard is also a joy.
[12:45] ---
    Constructing the deck,
    holding fight after fight, collecting data,
[12:50] ---
    improving the deck,
    holding even more fights,
[12:53] ---
    and then having a succession of victories!
[12:56] ---
    Generation Guard!
[12:58] ---
    Skill activated!
[12:59] ---
    I rest all of my opponent's back row units!
[13:04] ---
    Also, +10000 shield!
[13:07] ---
    Punish intercepts!
[13:11] ---
    Your units are still under my control.
[13:17] ---
    Vanargandr's skill activated.
[13:20] ---
    I look at the top four cards of my deck,
[13:22] ---
    and put two back on top of the deck
[13:24] ---
    and the other two at the bottom of the deck.
[13:27] ---
    Triple drive.
[13:29] ---
    Critical trigger.
    I give all of the effects to Hati.
[13:33] ---
    Critical trigger.
    I give all of the effects to Hati again.
[13:39] ---
    Hati attacks your Vanguard!
[13:42] ---
    I've already verified my fight with you.
[13:46] ---
    I built this deck based on that data!
[13:50] ---
    Guard!
[13:53] ---
    No matter how you try to struggle or
    manipulate your deck, it's in vain!
[13:57] ---
    Turn end.
[13:59] ---
    The damage is 4 to 5
    at the end of the eighth turn.
[14:03] ---
    And under the circumstances,
[14:05] ---
    the fight will be over during the next turn.
[14:13] ---
    You don't intend to forgive me.
[14:16] ---
    Of course. After what I did to you...
[14:22] ---
    I'm an idiot for even asking you like this.
[14:31] ---
    Thank you for coming.
[14:56] ---
    Wait!
[14:59] ---
    I thought I'd give you a piece of my mind
    the next time I saw you, Am!
[15:04] ---
    That's what I've been thinking all this time!
[15:08] ---
    But enough.
[15:12] ---
    I couldn't stop you two that time.
[15:17] ---
    Even though we're friends.
[15:22] ---
    I'm sorry.
[15:26] ---
    Am, let's save Luna together.
[15:33] ---
    Let's go together.
[15:38] ---
    Tokoha. I'm sorry...
[15:43] ---
    I... I...
[15:51] ---
    I'm so sorry!
[15:53] ---
    I'm so sorry!
[16:01] ---
    I'm sorry!
[16:05] ---
    This finishes it!
[16:08] ---
    Merciless Mutant Deity, Darkface!
[16:11] ---
    Stride skill! Gigaparalyze!
[16:15] ---
    Merciless Mutant Deity, Darkface's
    Dark Device!
[16:19] ---
    I call Superior Mantis!
[16:22] ---
    Paralyze!
[16:25] ---
    The board is set up.
[16:28] ---
    Mr. Wakamizu, are you familiar
    with "fluctuations"?
[16:33] ---
    Fluctuations are changes
[16:34] ---
    in time and space that can't be predicted.
[16:40] ---
    Fluctuations appear in everything
    that exists in this world.
[16:44] ---
    A gentle breeze, sunlight filtering
    through trees, the murmuring of a brook...
[16:48] ---
    There are even fluctuations in the
    orbits of the sun and planets.
[16:52] ---
    What are you trying to say?
[16:55] ---
    Fluctuations exist in
    everything in this world.
[16:58] ---
    I like those fluctuations.
[17:03] ---
    There are even fluctuations in Vanguard.
[17:07] ---
    Darkface attacks!
[17:10] ---
    Generation Guard!
[17:12] ---
    Dome War Shrine Maiden, Hanasatsuki!
[17:15] ---
    And more guards!
[17:17] ---
    No matter how much you try to guard,
    it won't have any effect on my victory!
[17:22] ---
    Triple drive!
[17:25] ---
    Critical trigger!
[17:27] ---
    I give all of the effects to Vulcan Lafertei!
[17:30] ---
    Attack!
[17:31] ---
    Guard.
[17:35] ---
    You imagine every situation,
[17:37] ---
    verify it, and construct your deck.
[17:40] ---
    And then an elaborate fight unfolds.
[17:43] ---
    You wipe out the unpredictable fluctuations
    as you go through the turns.
[17:47] ---
    I'm going to finish it with this!
[17:50] ---
    Superior Mantis attacks!
[17:53] ---
    But even then,
    fluctuations will still appear.
[17:56] ---
    Guard!
[17:58] ---
    Wh-What?! It was a guard?!
[18:01] ---
    It can't be! It's not possible!
[18:03] ---
    I verified that the fight
    would be over with this attack!
[18:06] ---
    The fluctuations are so subtle
    that they stimulate me.
[18:11] ---
    They're like a tiny crack that
    appears in something perfect.
[18:15] ---
    That's why I want to put
    my own spin on your experiment.
[18:19] ---
    Put in a way you'd phrase it,
[18:21] ---
    that's my "joy."
[18:25] ---
    It's not possible! It's not possible!
[18:29] ---
    I knew it going in,
[18:31] ---
    but this is the level you're at?
[18:33] ---
    Y-Your units are still under my control!
[18:37] ---
    If an error has occurred, I can fix it!
[18:40] ---
    Stupid.
[18:42] ---
    It's already over.
[18:44] ---
    Stride Generation!
[18:48] ---
    Mythical Hellsky Beast, Fenrir!
[18:51] ---
    Stride skill! Soul-charge!
[18:54] ---
    I call Svava!
[18:56] ---
    I retire Hati. Svava's Revelation!
[19:00] ---
    Mythical Hellsky Beast, Fenrir
    changes the effect.
[19:04] ---
    I decide the location of
    the top two cards of my deck.
[19:07] ---
    Both cards stay at the top of the deck.
[19:09] ---
    Mythical Hellsky Beast, Fenrir's skill!
[19:12] ---
    I draw one card.
[19:13] ---
    Another skill activated! I call Gelgja.
[19:17] ---
    Gelgja's Revelation.
    Fenrir causes the effect to change.
[19:23] ---
    I put one card back on top of the deck
    and one card in the Soul.
[19:26] ---
    I call Gjoll.
[19:28] ---
    Revelation.
[19:30] ---
    I put both cards back on top of the deck.
[19:32] ---
    Mythical Hellsky Beast, Fenrir's skill!
    I draw one card.
[19:36] ---
    Svava's skill!
[19:37] ---
    +5000 power!
[19:42] ---
    Gjoll attacks!
[19:44] ---
    The next one should be a critical.
[19:45] ---
    And if it is...
[19:47] ---
    No guard!
[19:54] ---
    Suvava attacks!
[19:56] ---
    Guard!
[19:58] ---
    Mythical Hellsky Beast, Fenrir attacks!
[20:06] ---
    Generation Guard!
[20:14] ---
    +10000 shield with a skill!
[20:16] ---
    Another guard!
[20:18] ---
    I use the Counter-blast I got
    from not guarding,
[20:21] ---
    and put up a solid defense with
    a G Guardian and a 5000 shield!
[20:26] ---
    Even with a double trigger,
    you can't break through that!
[20:29] ---
    Triple drive.
[20:31] ---
    Stand trigger.
[20:33] ---
    I stand Svava.
[20:35] ---
    +5000 power.
[20:37] ---
    W-What?! A stand trigger?!
[20:41] ---
    Second check.
[20:43] ---
    Third check.
[20:45] ---
    Heal trigger!
[20:46] ---
    I heal 1 damage point,
     and give the power to Svava.
[20:51] ---
    No good! Then...
[20:52] ---
    Attack.
[21:12] ---
    I don't believe it. How...?
[21:14] ---
    That's a fluctuation.
[21:18] ---
    The truth of the world smiles upon me.
[21:23] ---
    In accordance with that
    judgment, I retire you.
[21:28] ---
    Even without me, the system
    will operate 'til the end!
[21:32] ---
    Nobody can stop it now!
[21:35] ---
    Wakamizu is perfect!
[21:41] ---
    I see. He wasn't just all talk.
[22:08] ---
    But I don't want to destroy your perfection.
[22:14] ---
    I just want a slight fluctuation.
[23:56] ---
    What are you thinking, Shinonome?!
[23:58] ---
    I can't comprehend it!
[24:00] ---
    I figured as much.
[24:02] ---
    This construction is so perfect
    that it's boring.
[24:05] ---
    Here? I should fiddle with this, huh?
[24:09] ---
    What are you doing?! Stop!
[24:11] ---
    That should do it.
[24:14] ---
    And now it begins.
[24:17] ---
    Surface and reality, beauty and ugliness!
SIGN    Perfect Future
[24:19] ---
    An awful, amazing stage in which
    everything has been mixed up!
