[00:00] Spoken
    Absolute Lock?!
[00:02] Spoken
    Lock!
[00:06] Spoken
    Lock!
[00:08] Spoken
    Lock!
[00:09] Spoken
    And then, Absolute Break!
[00:17] Spoken
    I retire Neoflame.
[00:25] Spoken
    Is this the power of Aichi's Blaster Joker?!
[02:06] Spoken
    In the space of an instant,
    he ripped my line of attack to shreds.
[02:13] Spoken
    Here I go with my attack.
[02:16] Spoken
    Bravefang boosts.
[02:18] Spoken
    Legion attack!
[02:22] Spoken
    Pierce everything, Absolute Twin Sword!
[02:29] Spoken
    No guard!
[02:30] Spoken
    Drive trigger check!
[02:33] Spoken
    I got a draw trigger.
[02:36] Spoken
    I give the power to Imaginary Plane!
[02:48] Spoken
    Bravefang's skill...
[02:51] Spoken
    Even after your turn is finished,
    Whirlwind and Calamity will stay locked.
[02:58] Spoken
    Imaginary Plane Dragon!
[03:01] Spoken
    Guard!
[03:03] Spoken
    Somehow, he kept it to 4 damage, but...
[03:06] Spoken
    What is this?! His Legion Mate
     can retire units?!
[03:10] Spoken
    This is the Link Joker clan's
    way of fighting.
[03:15] Spoken
    And Aichi has mastered Link Joker
     more than anyone.
[03:21] Spoken
    Kai!
[03:24] Spoken
    When I got hit by Aichi's attack this turn,
[03:28] Spoken
    I felt something.
[03:31] Spoken
    What was that?
SIGN    Sword of Courage
[03:48] Spoken
    An absolute zero attack
    that locks everything...
[03:52] Spoken
    Aichi, that's your intent, isn't it?
[03:56] Spoken
    But even so, I'll advance!
[03:59] Spoken
    You burn in the
    scorching heat of purgatory,
[04:01] Spoken
    but you're resurrected again
    and again, emperor dragon!
[04:02] Spoken
    Again...
[04:06] Spoken
    Stand tall among the flames,
    my avatar!
[04:09] Spoken
    Perdition Emperor Dragon,
    Dragonic Overlord the Great!
[04:17] Spoken
    I call Vortex Dragonewt!
[04:20] Spoken
    Mates never forget!
[04:22] Spoken
    They don't give up!
[04:24] Spoken
    Seek the mate!
[04:33] Spoken
    Amid the purgatorial flames
    that consume everything,
[04:37] Spoken
    a new avatar of flames is born!
[04:40] Spoken
    Perdition Dragon, Dragonic Neoflame!
[04:43] Spoken
    Legion!
[04:49] Spoken
    Roar of two dragon units,
[04:51] Spoken
    attack Imaginary Plane!
[04:54] Spoken
    No guard!
[04:56] Spoken
    Drive trigger check!
[05:00] Spoken
    I got a critical trigger!
[05:10] Spoken
    Rise again, two dragon units!
[05:16] Spoken
    Attack!
[05:18] Spoken
    Perfect guard!
[05:23] Spoken
    Next!
[05:25] Spoken
    Guard!
[05:30] Spoken
    Turn end!
[05:34] Spoken
    Darn it! After all that
    attacking, still no damage?!
[05:39] Spoken
    Sendou won't give an inch.
[05:41] Spoken
    That's how it is.
[05:46] Spoken
    I can't quench your fighting spirit, Kai.
[05:51] Spoken
    I've always known that.
[05:53] Spoken
    All I can do is end it all!
[05:56] Spoken
    Call!
[05:58] Spoken
    Legion skill activated again!
[06:00] Spoken
    Absolute Lock and Break!
[06:13] Spoken
    Again?!
[06:15] Spoken
    It ends here...
[06:16] Spoken
    Blaster Joker, Photon...
     Absolute Twin Sword!
[06:26] Spoken
    Hey, Kai! Don't tell me you...
[06:34] Spoken
    I see!
[06:38] Spoken
    Guard!
[06:41] Spoken
    Drive trigger check!
[06:43] Spoken
    I got a critical trigger!
[06:45] Spoken
    I give all the effects to Garnet Star!
[06:49] Spoken
    Second check...
[06:50] Spoken
    Again, I give the effects to Garnet Star!
[06:53] Spoken
    Garnet Star attacks!
[06:58] Spoken
    Guard!
[07:03] Spoken
    He stopped it! Awesome!
[07:08] Spoken
    He blocked Aichi's attack...
[07:10] Spoken
    Toshiki Kai...
[07:12] Spoken
    I fought him, so I understand.
[07:15] Spoken
    He's a man whose resolve rivals Aichi's.
[07:21] Spoken
    It looks like that's not all.
[07:23] Spoken
    Yeah. You noticed?
[07:26] Spoken
    Kai figured something out.
[07:33] Spoken
    How have you come this far?
[07:36] Spoken
    I challenged you to this fight
    so that I could beat you.
[07:41] Spoken
    When I heard the circumstances of
    your resolve to seal yourself away,
[07:45] Spoken
    I made a vow to myself.
[07:48] Spoken
    I swore that I would beat you and let
    that seed inhabit me in your stead.
[07:54] Spoken
    Kai!
[07:57] Spoken
    Aichi,
[07:58] Spoken
    then will you become one of my Quatre Knights
     and watch over my sealed form?
[08:04] Spoken
    That's ridiculous!
[08:06] Spoken
    I couldn't do that!
[08:10] Spoken
    Even though you would sacrifice yourself,
[08:13] Spoken
    you can't bear the thought
    of me sacrificing myself?
[08:16] Spoken
    Aichi...
[08:21] Spoken
    Aichi...
[08:29] Spoken
    It makes sense.
[08:31] Spoken
    When I think about it, I'm the same way.
[08:35] Spoken
    Aichi, I'm going to shatter
    that determination.
[08:41] Spoken
    The idea that if one person is sacrificed,
    everything else can be saved...
[08:46] Spoken
    I'm going to burn that image to ashes!
[08:53] Spoken
    Kai...
[08:56] Spoken
    Picture it.
[08:58] Spoken
    The fragility of your will after I burn it away
    with my flames of purgatory!
[09:04] Spoken
    Final Turn!
[09:18] Spoken
    Final Turn!
[09:24] Spoken
    You burn in the
    scorching heat of purgatory,
[09:26] Spoken
    but you're resurrected again
    and again, emperor dragon!
[09:32] Spoken
    Stand tall among the flames,
    my avatar!
[09:35] Spoken
    I ride...
[09:37] Spoken
    ...Perdition Emperor Dragon,
    Dragonic Overlord the Great!
[09:43] Spoken
    And then, seek the mate!
[09:46] Spoken
    H-His third seek mate?!
[09:50] Spoken
    He really is milking that...
[09:53] Spoken
    Seek mate represents
     Kai's feelings for his mates.
[09:58] Spoken
    The feelings for the mates
     he lost in battle
[10:00] Spoken
    and his feelings for Aichi,
    the mate he's currently fighting.
[10:05] ---
    As long as he has those,
    he'll keep calling on his mates.
[10:10] ---
    Yeah, that's right.
[10:12] ---
    That's right!
[10:14] ---
    Go, Kai! Slam into Aichi with your feelings!
[10:22] ---
    Aichi!
[10:25] ---
    If it would mean relieving
    you of your misery,
[10:29] ---
    I'd be happy to offer myself up!
[10:32] ---
    No, Kai!
[10:35] ---
    Look around you, Aichi!
[10:47] ---
    Who else here...
[10:48] ---
    Who's prepared to take on
    Aichi's suffering themselves?!
[10:52] ---
    Of course.
[10:54] ---
    There's no need to even ask.
[10:56] ---
    Naturally!
[10:57] ---
    It would be an honor!
[10:58] ---
    Yes!
[11:00] ---
    I would be pleased to.
[11:03] ---
    How about you, Kourin?
[11:13] ---
    W-What?!
[11:15] ---
    Even your mates who aren't here right
    now would say the same thing.
[11:20] ---
    Miwa, Kamui, Tokura...
[11:23] ---
    If asked whether they'd be willing
    to be sealed away in your place,
[11:27] ---
    none of them would shake their heads!
[11:30] ---
    What are you trying to say?
[11:32] ---
    Aichi, there's no need to accept
    your fate alone and sacrifice yourself.
[11:38] ---
    All of us will share that fate!
[11:41] ---
    It's impossible!
[11:42] ---
    There's only one seed!
[11:43] ---
    There's no way you could do that!
[11:45] ---
    It's possible with Blaster Blade.
[11:48] ---
    Blaster Blade?
[11:51] ---
    Before, when you hit me with
    Blaster Joker's attack,
[11:56] ---
    I sensed a strong will coming
    from Blaster Blade's sword.
[12:04] ---
    My blade can cut through anything.
[12:07] ---
    You too, and also...
[12:13] ---
    Even though Blaster Blade is a Joker
[12:16] ---
    and tainted by Link Joker,
[12:18] ---
    deep down, his former
    knight's soul still exists.
[12:24] ---
    That would've been out of the question
    back when he was a unit during the time
[12:28] ---
    I was a spearhead for Link Joker.
[12:30] ---
    And if Blaster Blade is that way,
[12:33] ---
    I bet Cray is also trying to
    take in Link Joker right now.
[12:41] ---
    Just as it once came to terms with the battle
    between Royal Paladin and Shadow Paladin.
[12:49] ---
    There's no way!
[12:51] ---
    Uh uh! There is a way!
[12:54] ---
    Rati!
[12:55] ---
    Cray can do it! Cray is an amazing world!
[12:59] ---
    You know that, Aichi!
[13:04] ---
    Aichi...
[13:07] ---
    I'm going to defeat you now.
[13:10] ---
    And then I'll prove to you that I'm right!
[13:16] ---
    Amid the purgatorial flames
    that consume everything,
[13:18] ---
    a new avatar of flames is born!
[13:22] ---
    Perdition Dragon, Dragonic Neoflame!
[13:25] ---
    Legion!
[13:32] ---
    Roar of two dragon units,
[13:34] ---
    attack Garnet Star!
[13:36] ---
    No guard!
[13:38] ---
    Drive check!
[13:43] ---
    Double critical trigger!
[13:45] ---
    I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
[13:52] ---
    Overlord and Dragonic Neoflame...
[13:55] ---
    I stand them both again!
[13:59] ---
    Two dragon units!
[14:00] ---
    Use your flames of purgatory
[14:02] ---
    to mow down the enemies who do me wrong!
[14:08] ---
    Guard!
[14:09] ---
    Drive check!
[14:11] ---
    I got a critical trigger!
[14:13] ---
    I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
[14:16] ---
    A double critical?!
[14:18] ---
    And twice in a row!
[14:57] ---
    Four criticals in a row?
[15:00] ---
    It's a miracle.
[15:02] ---
    No. It's not a miracle.
[15:04] ---
    That's Toshiki Kai's power.
[15:08] ---
    Even after enduring Absolute Break twice
[15:10] ---
    and having his Legion split up,
[15:12] ---
    he didn't give up, but used
    Legion three times in a row.
[15:16] ---
    So the triggers responded to his feelings.
[15:23] ---
    I lose.
[15:27] ---
    Aichi...
[15:34] ---
    Aichi!
[15:36] ---
    Kai!
[15:40] ---
    Aichi!
[15:43] ---
    Okay, here it comes.
[16:02] ---
    Blaster Blade!
[16:17] ---
    You, who would destroy the world!
[16:19] ---
    Be accepted by forgiveness and resolve!
[16:22] ---
    Become a member
[16:24] ---
    of the world you would destroy!
[17:04] ---
    One more thing. With forgiveness and resolve,
[17:07] ---
    head towards the fighters of the future.
[17:13] ---
    Is Link Joker gone?
[17:17] ---
    There's no way to destroy Link Joker,
[17:20] ---
    my Vanguard.
[17:22] ---
    The seed was split into pieces,
[17:24] ---
    which now reside in the bodies of fighters
     who possess forgiveness and resolve.
[17:28] ---
    The power of each individual sliver is weak,
[17:32] ---
    so they won't easily be able
    to control their fighter host.
[17:36] ---
    Also, my sword gave the seed a new property.
[17:41] ---
    When a fighter who hosts a seed
    goes up against another fighter,
[17:46] ---
    if that other fighter also possesses
    forgiveness and resolve,
[17:50] ---
    the seed will split again
[17:52] ---
    and enter the body of that opponent.
[17:56] ---
    As the slivers of the seed
    keep splitting up,
[17:58] ---
    their power and desire to invade
    will grow fainter and fainter, I'm sure.
[18:04] ---
    And then, one day,
[18:06] ---
    the Link Joker seed will
    live within all fighters.
[18:11] ---
    Then I'm sure Cray will accept Link Joker,
    not as an invader but as a new clan.
[18:19] ---
    Link Joker will become a new clan on Cray?
[18:24] ---
    When will that day come?
[18:27] ---
    I can't wait!
[18:28] ---
    In the history of Cray,
[18:31] ---
    there have been many experiences like that,
[18:33] ---
    where battles have brought about
    the acceptance of new clans.
[18:36] ---
    Cray is strong.
[18:39] ---
    And the ones who reminded us
    all of that strength are...
[18:51] ---
    Picture it.
[18:53] ---
    A future in which Link Joker
    and the other clans coexist
[18:57] ---
    and compete with each other
     in the land of Cray.
[19:21] ---
    I see.
[19:23] ---
    That future awaits...
[19:26] ---
    The moon palace is disappearing.
[19:29] ---
    That's because the foundation
    upon which it was built is leaving.
[19:34] ---
    Aichi's will...
[19:38] ---
    Aichi!
[19:39] ---
    Aichi!
[19:44] ---
    The long dream is over.
[19:48] ---
    It's all over,
[19:50] ---
    Aichi.
[20:07] ---
    Aichi!
[20:08] ---
    Aichi, wake up! Aichi!
[20:16] ---
    Time for breakfast, Aichi!
[20:19] ---
    Emi, good morning.
SIGN    Physics Prep Room Cardfight Club
[20:35] ---
    Good morning!
[20:37] ---
    Morning, Aichi!
[20:38] ---
    You're late! Fight me, Aichi!
[20:41] ---
    No, no, have a match with me!
[20:45] ---
    I said it first, Granny Glasses!
[20:45] ---
    The memories of me that I tried to erase
[20:48] ---
    This is precious morning practice!
[20:48] ---
    have returned to everyone.
[20:50] ---
    Don't waste it on meaningless fights,
    you delinquent wannabe!
[20:51] ---
    Of course, I remember everything.
[20:54] ---
    Not everything is the way it was.
[20:58] ---
    The best ruler of the Sengoku
    period is Uesugi Kenshin.
[21:01] ---
    This is why you're an amateur.
[21:04] ---
    The best is Takeda Shingen, of course!
[21:05] ---
    Vanguard's strongest clan is, you know...
[21:07] ---
    ...Link whatever it's called!
[21:12] ---
    Vanguard has no such clan!
[21:14] ---
    Huh? Is that right?
[21:17] ---
    Huh?
[21:17] ---
    I guess you're right.
    It doesn't exist, does it?
[21:20] ---
    Are you okay?
    The tournament is soon!
[21:23] ---
    Leave it to me! We're going to the
    High School Tournament this year!
