[00:07] ---
    Someone's trying to block us in with ice?!
[00:12] ---
    I could see the whole thing.
[00:15] ---
    And I can see everything
[00:17] ---
    that's going to happen from here on out.
[00:26] ---
    All right, let's begin.
[00:28] ---
    Millennium Blizzard!
[00:34] ---
    That's right. And this is the
    true beginning of the tale.
[00:45] ---
    I've released you from the cautionary chains.
[00:48] ---
    Awaken, my transient king!
[00:52] ---
    What is this?!
[02:37] ---
    Aichi!
[02:41] ---
    Quietly, Kourin.
[02:43] ---
    Get any closer, and you shall
    earn Serra's displeasure.
[02:47] ---
    Serra!
[02:48] ---
    You know of the power the Quatre Knights
    wield here at the sanctuary, don't you?
[02:55] ---
    Even while it was sealed away,
[02:58] ---
    that power continued to generate.
[03:06] ---
    It seems he needs a little time to awaken.
[03:11] ---
    That's right. I forgot something important.
SIGN    Interrupted Sleep
[03:22] ---
    Darn it! Show yourself, jerk!
[03:30] ---
    What is this?!
[03:35] ---
    An ice barrier, which means...
[03:38] ---
    Hello, everyone.
[03:40] ---
    Are you comfortable there?
[03:44] ---
    Serra! Why did you seal us in here?!
[03:48] ---
    Isn't it obvious?
[03:50] ---
    Those who are no longer needed
     must exit the field.
[03:55] ---
    Exactly what are you saying?
[03:57] ---
    Well, observe for yourself.
[04:02] ---
    Aichi!
[04:06] ---
    Toshiki Kai, this is thanks to you.
[04:10] ---
    Since you defeated Gaillard,
    Aichi is close to waking up.
[04:15] ---
    Although I can't guarantee he'll be
     the Aichi you want to meet.
[04:22] ---
    Aichi! No!
[04:25] ---
    Kourin!
[04:26] ---
    Aichi! Don't let that swallow you up!
[04:29] ---
    Kourin!
[04:47] ---
    Aichi!
[04:55] ---
    Aichi!
[05:13] ---
    Kourin!
[05:26] ---
    Serra! What are you...
[05:31] ---
    What are you doing?!
[05:33] ---
    Thank you for you service, Gaillard.
[05:36] ---
    Because you strove more than anyone,
    Kai and the others became determined
[05:41] ---
    and unlocked one of the seals.
[05:44] ---
    I would have been lost without you.
[05:48] ---
    What?! Don't tell me you...
[05:50] ---
    Yes. My goal is to lift all of the seals
[05:55] ---
    and release the power.
[06:00] ---
    Power?
[06:01] ---
    The power to make anything possible.
[06:04] ---
    The power to affect and blanket everything,
[06:07] ---
    to make it all pass into nothingness.
[06:10] ---
    Until now, you people were useful to me,
[06:14] ---
    but that purpose has been served.
[06:17] ---
    Please remain there.
[06:20] ---
    I have another chore to attend to.
[06:22] ---
    Serra! There's no point
    in sealin' us inside here!
[06:25] ---
    I swear we'll get out!
[06:28] ---
    We'll see.
[06:46] ---
    Is it okay if Aichi stays like that?
[06:49] ---
    It's not a problem.
[06:51] ---
    I anticipated that this could happen.
[06:54] ---
    We shall meet again soon, Aichi.
[06:59] ---
    Aichi Sendou...
[07:15] ---
    What in the world is happening?
[07:18] ---
    What happened to Aichi?
[07:27] ---
    Son of a...
[07:32] ---
    It's all your fault. All of it!
[07:37] ---
    No... I'm stupider than anyone.
[07:46] ---
    You can be depressed later.
[07:50] ---
    If punching me will satisfy you,
     do it as much as you like.
[07:54] ---
    But there's something we must do first.
[07:58] ---
    We must get to Aichi!
[08:02] ---
    In order to do that, I want you to tell me
    what's happening to Aichi.
[08:11] ---
    What's going on?
[08:13] ---
    Has something happened to Aichi's seals?!
[08:16] ---
    That's correct, Neve.
[08:17] ---
    Serra!
[08:20] ---
    What is it, Serra?! What happened?!
[08:24] ---
    He did it. Toshiki Kai...
[08:28] ---
    He beat Gaillard
[08:30] ---
    and unlocked another one of the seals.
[08:33] ---
    You're telling me Gaillard lost?!
[08:35] ---
    As a result, Aichi has...
[08:38] ---
    What?!
[08:40] ---
    He has awakened.
[08:42] ---
    What's more, that power has taken
    control of his mind and body.
[08:48] ---
    How could that be?
[08:50] ---
    Everything has to be
    returned to the way it was.
[08:53] ---
    For starters, Aichi needs to go
    back to his previous state!
[08:58] ---
    Previous state?
[08:59] ---
    Return him to his senses.
[09:02] ---
    If that power takes over
    Aichi's body completely,
[09:06] ---
    something dreadful
    will surely happen.
[09:11] ---
    On the other hand, if Aichi
    does come out of the trance...
[09:14] ---
    ...we may be able to help him, right?
[09:16] ---
    Yes. I don't think
[09:19] ---
    it's totally controlling Aichi's mind yet...
[09:24] ---
    We need your strength!
    If you fight him yourself
[09:27] ---
    and call out to that heart...
[09:31] ---
    If you act now, I'm sure you'll be in time.
[09:33] ---
    Bring Aichi back to us...
[09:36] ---
    Serra!
[09:38] ---
    This is the effect of the Judgment I received
    after my battle with Naoki Ishida.
[09:42] ---
    It's pathetic...
[09:44] ---
    Never mind that. Say no more.
[09:47] ---
    I'm not strong enough to fight Aichi.
[09:51] ---
    But, Neve...
[09:53] ---
    I'm sure you could do it!
[09:55] ---
    Understood. Leave it to me!
[10:03] ---
    The alarm came from Aichi's room!
[10:06] ---
    Maybe something happened to the seals?
[10:12] ---
    What?
[10:15] ---
    What is this?! What's going on?!
[10:18] ---
    I didn't expect anything like this to happen!
[10:28] ---
    It all started then...
[10:31] ---
    Toshiki Kai...
[10:33] ---
    You accepted Link Joker
    and helped them with their invasion.
[10:38] ---
    As a result, Link Joker
    spread all over the world.
[10:44] ---
    And then... Aichi stopped it.
[10:57] ---
    However, what you don't know
[11:00] ---
    is what happened at the
    final instant of that battle.
[11:03] ---
    Something buried itself
    within Aichi's body.
[11:07] ---
    What?!
[11:09] ---
    We call it a "seed."
[11:13] ---
    For it's the seed that
    can resurrect Link Joker.
[11:33] ---
    Serra, things are going well, aren't they?
[11:35] ---
    Although that is to be expected with you.
[11:38] ---
    Your machinations are playing out
    exactly as you devised.
[11:42] ---
    There's nothing to it.
[11:44] ---
    I sent Rati on a roundabout detour.
[11:47] ---
    Meanwhile, the chivalrous Neve
    is rushing straight ahead.
[11:49] ---
    It's not exactly a plan,
[11:52] ---
    but they're acting exactly as I wish them to.
[11:56] ---
    Next, Aichi and Neve will fight,
[11:59] ---
    and it doesn't matter which
    one of them is defeated.
[12:03] ---
    And of course, the three who are
    surrounded by ice can't do a thing.
[12:08] ---
    The seed embedded itself
    inside Aichi's body.
[12:12] ---
    Those seeds are always
    seeking out strong fighters.
[12:17] ---
    It was Link Joker's last move...
[12:21] ---
    ...right before it was defeated.
[12:24] ---
    I think Aichi understood everything then.
[12:29] ---
    But even so,
[12:30] ---
    he acted bravely.
[12:32] ---
    He tried to keep
[12:34] ---
    what was happening to himself.
[12:41] ---
    Aichi...
[12:44] ---
    The seed...
[12:45] ---
    Link Joker was inside Aichi's body,
[12:50] ---
    quietly waiting to make a comeback.
[12:57] ---
    Even if Link Joker is defeated,
    it possesses the person that beat it.
[13:02] ---
    Of course, that means it attaches
    to an opponent stronger than itself.
[13:08] ---
    Do you understand? By repeating that process,
[13:11] ---
    it increases its strength and can
    eventually become invincible.
[13:15] ---
    That's why the only way to stop
    Link Joker is to seal it away.
[13:20] ---
    That's what Aichi wanted to do.
[13:24] ---
    So he began to act.
[13:29] ---
    He chose four famous fighters
    from around the world
[13:32] ---
    and approached each one
    directly with his appeal.
[13:35] ---
    He wanted our help protecting the seals.
[13:42] ---
    That was the beginning of the Quatre Knights.
[13:48] ---
    So secretive...
[13:50] ---
    Why didn't Aichi ask me to do it?!
[13:54] ---
    Naturally, it's because you
    aren't as strong as we are.
[13:57] ---
    What was that?!
[13:59] ---
    Don't get mad. It's true.
[14:02] ---
    Yeah, but...
[14:05] ---
    Anyway, that's how we came to be
    gathered at this sanctuary.
[14:14] ---
    Everyone, I'm counting on you.
[14:17] ---
    Are you ready?
[14:42] ---
    All of you, devote your fighter
    soul and energy to Aichi!
[15:18] ---
    The seals were created.
[15:20] ---
    We wouldn't let Aichi's
    strength of will be in vain.
[15:29] ---
    We did it so no one would be able
    to free Aichi from the seals.
[15:37] ---
    But...
[15:39] ---
    ...I never thought Aichi would be
    like that when he woke up.
[15:44] ---
    It seems that even when
    Aichi was sealed away,
[15:46] ---
    Link Joker was gradually
    eating away at his body.
[15:51] ---
    I understand.
[15:53] ---
    And it's no wonder that you hate me.
[15:56] ---
    But right now, we have to escape this place.
[15:59] ---
    Even if we get out, what can we do?
[16:02] ---
    Aichi's been bearing a tremendous burden.
[16:06] ---
    Now that I know about it,
[16:08] ---
    I can't let him bear it alone.
[16:12] ---
    I don't know if I can do it,
[16:15] ---
    but if I could take on
    that burden, even slightly,
[16:18] ---
    I'll do it gladly.
[16:22] ---
    Kai...
[16:23] ---
    If there really is no other way...
[16:26] ---
    If I can't be of any help...
[16:28] ---
    Then I'll do as Aichi wishes.
[16:32] ---
    Even if it means sealing him up again.
[16:39] ---
    I want you to help me, Gaillard.
[16:45] ---
    I can't forgive what you did.
[16:48] ---
    But... I want to believe
     what you said.
[17:10] ---
    Aichi! You can't let Link Joker possess you!
[17:16] ---
    Please return to your former self!
[17:23] ---
    Aichi!
[17:33] ---
    Aichi...
[17:36] ---
    Kourin!
[17:40] ---
    Neve...
[17:44] ---
    Aichi!
[17:46] ---
    Neve, if you act now, Aichi is still...
[17:48] ---
    I know.
[17:50] ---
    Aichi!
[17:53] ---
    Vanguard...
[17:56] ---
    You wish to fight me?
[18:09] ---
    Iron is forged into steel,
[18:12] ---
    and steel becomes a sword in a battle.
[18:14] ---
    I call upon my field!
[18:18] ---
    Steel Wall Prison!
[18:29] ---
    Aichi, here I come!
[18:31] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[18:34] ---
    Metalborg, Blackboi!
[18:38] ---
    Star-vader, Robin Knight.
[18:46] ---
    I ride Star-vader...
[18:48] ---
    ...Volt-line.
[18:57] ---
    Aichi!
[18:58] ---
    A deck like that doesn't suit you!
[19:10] ---
    Attack.
[19:14] ---
    Aichi...
[19:19] ---
    If my voice can't reach you,
[19:21] ---
    I'll show you just how strong
    my feelings are!
[19:26] ---
    Metalborg, Shin Buster!
[19:31] ---
    Blackboi's skill!
[19:33] ---
    Compatriots on the field,
[19:35] ---
    the time has come to call on steel warriors!
[19:43] ---
    Steel warriors!
[19:44] ---
    Come here! Answer the call of your brethren!
[19:47] ---
    Superior seek mate!
[19:54] ---
    Line up, two steel warriors that gleam
    as if to light up the land!
[19:59] ---
    Legion!
[20:06] ---
    Superior seek mate...
[20:08] ---
    All of a sudden, Legion comes,
    the same time as a grade 2 appears...
[20:14] ---
    Aichi!
[20:16] ---
    Aichi...
[20:18] ---
    This is the strength of my feelings!
[20:28] ---
    Darn it! No good?
[20:31] ---
    Gaillard...
[20:32] ---
    Don't overdo it!
[20:34] ---
    That being said, we gotta rely on the
    power of Gaillard's flames right now.
[20:39] ---
    I guess we're in a dilemma.
[20:42] ---
    The ice walls are too thick.
[20:44] ---
    It's okay. I can try again.
[20:50] ---
    Though you're a member of the Quatre Knights,
[20:52] ---
    you've taken damage and aren't
    as strong as usual, Gaillard.
[20:56] ---
    Plus those two weakling nobodies...
[20:59] ---
    What'd you call me?!
[21:00] ---
    I used to think you were the strongest
    of the Quatre Knights, Gaillard.
[21:08] ---
    But too bad. The strongest fighter
    among the Quatre Knights...
[21:12] ---
    ...is actually Raul Serra!
[21:15] ---
    This is a case of the one who
    knows the most speaking the least.
[21:19] ---
    The one who...?
[21:20] ---
    In other words, "a clever
    falcon hides its claws"?
[21:23] ---
    What?! Throw weird phrases...
    Don't you make fun of me!
[21:27] ---
    You! Serra!
[21:35] ---
    Oh, my... I was so surprised, I lost
    my composure for a moment there.
[21:39] ---
    That's not like me...
[21:41] ---
    Anyway, by all means,
    feel free to waste your efforts.
[21:48] ---
    Darn it!
[21:50] ---
    I ain't givin' up!
[21:51] ---
    No. Neither am I.
[21:53] ---
    We're definitely going to reach Aichi!
[22:04] ---
    I'm going to slam these feelings into you.
[22:09] ---
    Aichi.
[22:10] ---
    I swear I'll get you back to your old self!
[23:56] ---
    Darn it! That Serra jerk!
[23:58] ---
    Serra!
[24:00] ---
    Aichi...
[24:01] ---
    Aichi!
[24:02] ---
    What the heck?! What do
    you think you're doin'?!
[24:04] ---
    Toshiki Kai, is this
    Naoki Ishida fellow a child?
[24:09] ---
    Aichi, even though you're so close,
[24:12] ---
    I can't believe you feel so far away.
[24:15] ---
    Next time: Aichi Awakens.
SIGN    Aichi Awakens
[24:17] ---
    Rati, Neve... Be careful!
