**[00:01] Spoken**
Here it comes! Judgment!
**[00:06] Spoken**
Ishida!
**[00:12] Spoken**
You're not in the same league.
**[00:14] Spoken**
What's that?!
**[00:17] Spoken**
It's not only the fight.
**[00:20] Spoken**
Mates? Friendship?
**[00:23] Spoken**
The destiny that Aichi is shouldering...
**[00:27] Spoken**
...surpasses such things!
**[00:29] Spoken**
Aichi's... What do you mean?
**[00:34] Spoken**
Anyway, you people are a nuisance to Aichi.
**[00:39] Spoken**
Liar!
**[00:40] Spoken**
That's impossible!
**[00:44] Spoken**
No matter what you say, we're going
to beat you four and take Aichi back!
**[00:52] Spoken**
I'll fight him.
**[00:58] Spoken**
You?
**[01:08] Spoken**
No way... It can't be...
**[02:56] Spoken**
Kourin...
**[02:57] Spoken**
What?!
**[02:59] Spoken**
What is she doing here?
**[03:07] Spoken**
I can easily handle him.
**[03:10] Spoken**
Instead of coming here,
you should've stayed at Aichi's side.
**[03:16] Spoken**
Aichi's...?!
**[03:18] Spoken**
Leave this to me.
**[03:21] Spoken**
I want to beat him with my own hands.
**[03:29] Spoken**
Understood.
**[03:31] Spoken**
Why is Kourin...
**[03:33] Spoken**
...one of Gaillard's comrades?
**[03:35] Spoken**
Do you know where Aichi is?
**[03:40] Spoken**
You don't need to know that.
**[03:45] Spoken**
I see.
**[03:47] Spoken**
Then if I beat you,
tell me everything you know!
**[03:54] Spoken**
Would you bring out your prison?
**[03:58] Spoken**
If you say so, Kourin...
**[04:01] Spoken**
Holy blue flames that flicker for eternity,
blaze forth and burn down all things!
**[04:08] Spoken**
Holy Prominence Prison!
***SIGN*** The Announced Truth
**[04:25] Spoken**
Let's go.
**[04:26] Spoken**
Yeah.
**[04:28] Spoken**
Stand up the Vanguard!
**[04:28] Spoken**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[04:31] Spoken**
Advance Party Seeker, File!
**[04:35] Spoken**
Aperture Star-vader, Quantum!
**[04:46] Spoken**
Star-vader?!
**[04:49] Spoken**
I don't believe it!
**[04:51] Spoken**
That's Link Joker!
**[05:04] Spoken**
It's my turn.
**[05:05] Spoken**
Draw!
**[05:07] Spoken**
I ride Flail Seeker, Isbuzzard!
**[05:14] Spoken**
I ride Star-vader, Satellite Mirage!
**[05:22] Spoken**
I thought Link Joker was destroyed!
**[05:25] Spoken**
Yeah... so why is Kourin using that deck?
**[05:33] Spoken**
Kourin...
**[05:36] Spoken**
Kourin used to be our friend.
**[05:41] Spoken**
But when Link Joker's invasion
of Earth was halted,
**[05:46] Spoken**
she lost all of those memories.
**[05:52] Spoken**
Her memories of us,
and her memories of Aichi...
**[05:58] Spoken**
But even so, I was sure we would
meet again someday, somewhere.
**[06:02] Spoken**
I believed that and hoped for it.
**[06:06] Spoken**
But right now, Kourin is...
**[06:09] Spoken**
Mana Shot Star-vader, Neon! Attack!
**[06:18] Spoken**
She's standing in our way, as an enemy!
**[06:25] Spoken**
Kourin...
**[06:27] Spoken**
Don't tell me she's possessed by Link Joker!
**[06:30] Spoken**
Has she been Reversed?
**[06:32] Spoken**
Like before?
**[06:34] Spoken**
I don't think so.
**[06:36] Spoken**
Satellite Mirage!
**[06:49] Spoken**
She isn't Reversed.
**[06:55] Spoken**
She's using a Link Joker
deck of her own free will.
**[07:01] Spoken**
I can tell.
**[07:03] Spoken**
Just like the way I was before.
**[07:06] Spoken**
Then why? Why is Kourin using that deck?
**[07:14] Spoken**
Valrod attacks!
**[07:16] Spoken**
Kourin! Do you know what it
means to use Link Joker?!
**[07:32] Spoken**
If I'm willing to sacrifice myself,
**[07:34] Spoken**
even if I'm steeped in sin,
I'll obtain mighty power.
**[07:39] Spoken**
Come forth, my avatar of sin!
**[07:42] Spoken**
I ride Companion Star Star-vader, Photon!
**[07:53] Spoken**
Attack!
**[07:55] Spoken**
Guard!
**[07:59] Spoken**
I once used Link Joker, too.
**[08:03] Spoken**
I wanted so much to fight Aichi
on an even footing.
**[08:05] Spoken**
So I did it to gain strength for that!
**[08:09] Spoken**
Attack!
**[08:10] Spoken**
Guard!
**[08:13] Spoken**
Even though other people
became Reversed sacrifices
**[08:16] Spoken**
and the whole world was put in
peril, I couldn't care less!
**[08:21] Spoken**
But Aichi didn't accept that!
**[08:28] Spoken**
I don't want the same thing to happen to you.
**[08:31] Spoken**
Open, haloed gate!
**[08:34] Spoken**
Silver wings, descend!
**[08:37] Spoken**
Ride the Vanguard!
**[08:40] Spoken**
Seeker, Thing Saver Dragon!
**[08:46] Spoken**
Link Joker is an evil thing.
**[08:49] Spoken**
If you beat us with that power,
do you think Aichi will be pleased?!
**[08:55] Spoken**
Think about it!
**[08:57] Spoken**
Think, Kourin!
**[09:01] Spoken**
Guard!
**[09:05] Spoken**
Certainly, Link Joker is evil.
**[09:09] Spoken**
But it has great fighting strength.
**[09:12] Spoken**
I'm going to stop you people,
even if it means using that evil!
**[09:20] Spoken**
Wipe out all of their hopes with
your invincible power of darkness!
**[09:25] Spoken**
I ride...
**[09:27] Spoken**
...Star-vader Garnet Star Dragon!
**[09:35] Spoken**
Attack!
**[09:44] Spoken**
Stronghold!
**[09:59] Spoken**
This was Link Joker, huh?
**[10:01] Spoken**
I can tell how ominous and evil
it is just by looking at it!
**[10:07] Spoken**
And with Kourin, who's using it...
**[10:09] Spoken**
You sure she's not possessed?
**[10:13] Spoken**
Of course not!
**[10:15] Spoken**
Kourin isn't possessed by Link Joker!
**[10:19] Spoken**
But if she remembers Aichi,
then she should remember us...
**[10:27] Spoken**
That's right. If she has memories of then,
**[10:31] Spoken**
she should be the Kourin we know!
**[10:37] Spoken**
Please, Kourin! Tell us where Aichi is!
**[10:42] Spoken**
Let us help him!
**[10:46] Spoken**
I can't do that.
**[10:48] Spoken**
Kourin!
**[10:50] Spoken**
Kourin, we just wanna be
with our mate, Aichi.
**[10:55] Spoken**
That's all!
**[10:58] Spoken**
What's wrong with that?!
**[11:04] Spoken**
I...
**[11:06] Spoken**
No, we... decided to go wherever Aichi is.
**[11:12] Spoken**
We're not fighting alone, but together,
bearing our feelings and believing in our mate.
**[11:23] Spoken**
I won't let you stop our progress!
**[11:27] Spoken**
Seek the mate!
**[11:37] Spoken**
Friendship is in this hand!
Our bond is in this heart!
**[11:41] Spoken**
Line up, avatar of my soul.
**[11:45] Spoken**
Legion!
**[11:54] Spoken**
Blaster Blade...
**[12:10] Spoken**
Here I go.
**[12:11] Spoken**
No, let's go... Blaster Blade.
**[12:17] Spoken**
To help Aichi!
**[12:25] Spoken**
I see.
**[12:26] Spoken**
Blaster Blade, you chose
that place of your own will.
**[12:35] Spoken**
Legion attack!
**[12:47] Spoken**
Legion skill activated!
**[12:55] Spoken**
Superior ride!
**[12:58] Spoken**
Follow the glow of the bond
and gather before me again!
**[13:02] Spoken**
Legion Mate!
**[13:11] Spoken**
My bond with my mate...
**[13:13] Spoken**
No, *our* bond with our mate...
can never be severed!
**[13:19] Spoken**
This is Soulmate Legion!
**[13:25] Spoken**
No matter what kind of powerful
opponents are waiting for us...
**[13:28] Spoken**
No matter what kind of
danger lies ahead for us...
**[13:31] Spoken**
We won't let our bond be severed!
**[13:34] Spoken**
Even if we have to pay dearly for it!
**[13:37] Spoken**
Thing Saver Dragon!
Blaster Blade! Attack!
**[13:43] Spoken**
I see. So your feelings are genuine.
**[13:48] Spoken**
But...
**[13:49] Spoken**
Guard!
**[13:52] Spoken**
And especial intercept!
**[14:02] Spoken**
Attack!
**[14:05] Spoken**
Guard!
**[14:09] Spoken**
A second ago, you said,
"Even if we have to pay dearly for it."
**[14:15] Spoken**
But Aichi doesn't want that!
**[14:21] Spoken**
Crossbow Seeker, Gildas!
**[14:30] Spoken**
Shoot! He almost had it!
**[14:35] Spoken**
If you want to know that
badly, I'll tell you.
**[14:39] Spoken**
Kourin...
**[14:41] Spoken**
It's not just that Aichi doesn't
want the sacrifices you speak of.
**[14:48] Spoken**
He also doesn't wish to be rescued.
**[14:53] Spoken**
What?!
**[14:56] Spoken**
Wait, Kourin!
**[15:00] Spoken**
Everything up to now...
**[15:02] Spoken**
People losing their memories...
**[15:05] Spoken**
The Quatre Knights trying to foil you...
**[15:09] Spoken**
All of it was none other
than Aichi's own will!
**[15:14] Spoken**
What?!
**[15:17] Spoken**
Kourin...
**[15:18] Spoken**
No... That must be a lie!
**[15:21] Spoken**
Of course it's a lie!
**[15:22] Spoken**
Aichi would never say stuff like that!
**[15:26] Spoken**
Then I'll show you...
**[15:30] Spoken**
...Aichi's true form!
**[15:46] Spoken**
What is this?!
**[15:50] Spoken**
Where are we?!
**[15:52] Spoken**
Everyone...
**[15:57] Spoken**
Aichi...
**[16:02] Spoken**
I don't want to
meet with you guys anymore.
**[16:08] Spoken**
Forget about me.
**[16:12] Spoken**
I want you to stop trying to rescue me.
**[16:15] Spoken**
Stop trying to find me.
**[16:18] Spoken**
But...
**[16:21] Spoken**
Aichi...
**[16:23] Spoken**
No! I don't believe this!
**[16:27] Spoken**
Kourin! You're showin' us
a fake version of Brother!
**[16:35] Spoken**
No.
**[16:37] Spoken**
This is the real Aichi.
**[16:41] Spoken**
I can tell.
**[16:44] Spoken**
But... why, Aichi?
**[16:50] Spoken**
I... don't want to see you.
**[17:02] Spoken**
Goodbye... everyone.
**[17:06] Spoken**
Aichi!
**[17:07] Spoken**
Wait!
**[17:12] Spoken**
What was...
**[17:13] Spoken**
...that just now?
**[17:16] Spoken**
Those were Aichi's feelings.
**[17:19] Spoken**
I want you to accept it.
**[17:26] Spoken**
But if you say you can't...
**[17:29] Spoken**
Connect with a solitary soul at the
end of the exitless underworld!
**[17:34] Spoken**
Seek mate!
**[17:44] Spoken**
Fight together, my avatar of sin!
**[17:47] Spoken**
Photon!
**[17:49] Spoken**
Legion!
**[17:56] Spoken**
Legion skill activated!
**[17:57] Spoken**
Lock!
**[18:06] Spoken**
She used Legion and lock together?!
**[18:10] Spoken**
You won't win in the face of this power.
**[18:14] Spoken**
If you won't fulfill Aichi's wish,
I have no choice but to strike.
**[18:21] Spoken**
What Aichi said may be true...
**[18:25] Spoken**
Maybe he doesn't want us to look for him...
**[18:29] Spoken**
But...
**[18:37] Spoken**
But I...
**[18:41] Spoken**
It seems you can't make
the decision on your own.
**[18:45] Spoken**
So I'll sever those feelings.
**[18:48] Spoken**
I'll give you so much mental and
physical pain that it'll never go away!
**[18:53] Spoken**
Don't, Kourin!
**[18:55] Spoken**
I won't let Aichi be any
sadder than he already is.
**[19:07] Spoken**
Toshiki Kai...
**[19:09] Spoken**
This is the end.
**[19:29] Spoken**
Kai lost...
**[19:38] Spoken**
I'm sorry, Blaster Blade!
**[19:42] Spoken**
Losing to Link Joker means...
**[19:45] Spoken**
...Kai is gonna be Reversed!
**[19:49] Spoken**
No.
**[19:51] Spoken**
I won't Reverse Toshiki Kai.
**[19:54] Spoken**
But *he* will go back to where he belongs.
**[20:13] Spoken**
You don't belong there.
**[20:16] Spoken**
Return to the one person
who has the same soul.
**[20:23] Spoken**
Give me back Blaster Blade!
**[20:26] Spoken**
Have you forgotten, Toshiki Kai?
**[20:29] Spoken**
This is my prison!
**[20:39] Spoken**
You haven't yet received the pain
that the loser deserves.
**[20:44] Spoken**
Judgment!
**[21:01] Spoken**
Hang in there, Kai!
**[21:03] Spoken**
Kai!
**[21:05] Spoken**
Darn it!
**[21:07] Spoken**
Let's go, Kourin.
**[21:09] Spoken**
Our business is done here.
**[21:12] Spoken**
Wait!
**[21:15] Spoken**
You're going to Aichi, aren't you?
**[21:17] Spoken**
Yes.
**[21:19] Spoken**
Is this really all Aichi's will?
**[21:25] Spoken**
You held on to that.
**[21:29] Spoken**
I wouldn't lie to you.
**[21:36] Spoken**
I... I don't wanna believe it!
**[21:39] Spoken**
You say Aichi doesn't wanna see us?!
**[21:42] Spoken**
What's the reason?!
**[21:46] Spoken**
Don't look for Aichi again.
**[21:49] Spoken**
W-Wait!
**[22:10] Spoken**
Our one clue to get to Aichi...
**[22:20] Spoken**
Aichi!
**[23:56] Spoken**
Was that the real Aichi?
**[23:58] Spoken**
It's like he was thrown into a dream.
**[24:01] Spoken**
I can tell. It was the real Aichi!
**[24:03] Spoken**
No way! Aichi would never say that stuff!
**[24:06] Spoken**
What in the world is happening?!
**[24:08] Spoken**
Where's the truth?!
**[24:10] Spoken**
Next time: Island Awaiting the Wind.
***SIGN*** Island Awaiting the Wind
**[24:12] Spoken**
The Quatre Knights are standing in our way...
**[24:14] Spoken**
What should we do?!
**[24:15] Spoken**
Intensive training!
**[24:16] Spoken**
We'll get stronger and then
send those guys flyin'!
**[24:19] Spoken**
Yeah! The truth will be behind 'em!
