[00:03] ---
    Dragon Earth.
[00:06] ---
    A world where gods, people,
    and monsters coexist.
[00:13] ---
    Those who travel this world,
[00:15] ---
    using monsters to seek treasures that house
    the immense power of the dragon,
[00:22] ---
    are known as DraColle Battlers.
[00:27] ---
    Striving for the supreme
    title of Dragon Master,
[00:30] ---
    the DraColle Battlers continue
    their journey today!
[02:09] ---
    Slither...
[02:11] ---
    I am Naviko, who screamed
    after stubbing her little toe
[02:14] ---
    on the corner of the dresser last night.
[02:17] ---
    In the last episode, Branmon solidly
    won his way into the semifinals!
[02:22] ---
    But Marmott used despicable
    means to defeat Meatmania
[02:25] ---
    and advance to the semifinals!
[02:28] ---
    Later, Yuna overheard Priest Arcally's conspiracy.
[02:32] ---
    Although she raced to warn Hiro and the others...
[02:35] ---
    Hiro and Shin's battle is now about to start!
SIGN    No Way! Hiro Evolves, Too?!
[02:43] ---
    No Way! Hiro Evolves, Too?!
[02:49] ---
    Shin, wanna do this battle
    with just one card each?
[02:55] ---
    You sure?
[02:56] ---
    My Forest Warrior's evolved.
[02:58] ---
    Yeah, I know!
[03:00] ---
    But still, I want to battle you
    one on one, at full power!
[03:05] ---
    I see...
[03:06] ---
    Okay!
[03:11] ---
    They've already started...
[03:14] ---
    Are you friends with Shin and Hiro?
[03:17] ---
    W-Well, something like that.
[03:20] ---
    In that case, have a seat!
    Let's cheer them on together!
[03:23] ---
    Thanks...
[03:26] ---
    I guess all I can do for now is wait.
[03:28] ---
    Now, time for the semifinals!
[03:30] ---
    Start the battle!
[03:32] ---
    This battle will take place
    on a rock-strewn wasteland!
[03:38] ---
    That looks like an interesting stage!
[03:40] ---
    Indeed, it may be.
[03:42] ---
    How will the Battlers fight in these conditions?!
[03:46] ---
    Shin, we've been together ever
    since I first came to this world.
[03:51] ---
    My friendship with you...
[03:53] ---
    And everything I have right now...
[03:56] ---
    I entrust to this single card!
[03:58] ---
    Go, Blaze Fighter!
[04:01] ---
    Summon!
[04:07] ---
    I have no chance of winning by attacking
    the evolved Forest Warrior head-on. So...
[04:13] ---
    Forest Warrior Double!
[04:15] ---
    Summon!
[04:23] ---
    Where is he?
[04:24] ---
    Over here!
[04:29] ---
    Not bad!
[04:30] ---
    Same to you!
[04:33] ---
    They're both well-matched!
[04:34] ---
    Well, I wonder, though...
[04:36] ---
    About what?
[04:38] ---
    They may seem an even match,
[04:40] ---
    but Hiro, forced to use the rocks as a shield,
[04:42] ---
    is clearly at a disadva—
[04:43] ---
    I never said you could speak for me!
[04:46] ---
    But...
[04:48] ---
    Hiro, how will you overcome this disadvantage?
[04:54] ---
    Now you'll have nowhere to hide!
[04:58] ---
    Over there!
[05:06] ---
    I had no idea Forest Warrior Double
    would be so incredibly powerful.
[05:11] ---
    Blaze Fighter! Use your Flame Sword!
[05:17] ---
    Wow!
[05:19] ---
    He's turned the tables!
[05:20] ---
    Did Hiro win?!
[05:23] ---
    No!
[05:30] ---
    So fast!
[05:30] ---
    Nope! You're just slow!
[05:39] ---
    Blaze Fighter!
[05:42] ---
    Looks like I've won.
[05:46] ---
    Is Hiro going to lose?
[05:48] ---
    Shin's really tough!
[05:53] ---
    Huh? "Use me"?
[05:55] ---
    He can't. You know the rules, don't you?
[06:00] ---
    Well, I guess it's for the best
    if they settle it quickly.
[06:03] ---
    That way, the jar won't collect any energy...
[06:07] ---
    Stand up! Stand up, Blaze Fighter!
[06:13] ---
    Shin...
[06:15] ---
    You really are strong.
[06:17] ---
    Hiro?
[06:18] ---
    I'm glad.
[06:20] ---
    You fought me at full strength,
    without holding back.
[06:23] ---
    So I'll fight at full strength too, until the very end!
[06:26] ---
    Shin, that'll be my proof of my friendship with you!
[06:30] ---
    Hiro...
[06:32] ---
    Sure!
[06:33] ---
    Blaze Fighter, please, stand up just one more time.
[06:37] ---
    Blaze Fighter!
[06:39] ---
    Time for guts, Blaze Fighter!
[06:42] ---
    Blaze Fighter!
[06:56] ---
    What?!
[07:05] ---
    This is...
[07:06] ---
    I-Incredible!
[07:09] ---
    Whose power could it be reacting to?
[07:18] ---
    It's all about guts!
[07:21] ---
    What's the meaning of this?!
[07:23] ---
    Now he's dispensing with combination
    to evolve on his own, too?!
[07:26] ---
    That's not so!
[07:28] ---
    It's clearly different from the way Forest Warrior
    borrowed the power of the forest to evolve!
[07:33] ---
    Blaze Fighter evolved due to Hiro's
    latent and inexhaustible supply of guts!
[07:38] ---
    Go!
[07:40] ---
    Blaze Fighter Twin!
[07:57] ---
    Nice job recovering from so far behind, Hiro.
[08:00] ---
    You've got amazing guts.
[08:02] ---
    Shin!
[08:05] ---
    How about one for old time's sake?
[08:09] ---
    Sure!
[08:13] ---
    It's all about guts!
[08:15] ---
    Wow! What a beautiful friendship!
[08:18] ---
    After turning the tables with one blow,
    Hiro has won this battle!
[08:23] ---
    And he will advance to the final!
[08:31] ---
    Oh, no! He fought too hard!
[08:34] ---
    The jugguts must have
    collected even more energy.
[08:37] ---
    At any rate, I'd better warn them about it.
[08:41] ---
    Huh? What's the matter?
[08:42] ---
    Uh, just need to use the ladies' room.
[08:46] ---
    Now moving on to the match
    between Branmon and Marmott!
[08:51] ---
    Branmon's match is starting.
[08:54] ---
    Who cares about that guy's match?
[08:59] ---
    That Arcally fellow is a priest?!
[09:01] ---
    Moreover, he's participating
    in some sort of conspiracy?
[09:10] ---
    That's right!
[09:11] ---
    Hmm... Connections to Marmott,
    strange ancient ruins, a mysterious jar...
[09:16] ---
    And some grand plan?
[09:18] ---
    What'll we do?
[09:20] ---
    But if that's true, then—
[09:29] ---
    Aw, sorry!
[09:30] ---
    I really wanted to drag
    this out for much longer!
[09:34] ---
    I... I am the Knight of Dragonia, Bran... mon...
[09:42] ---
    This battle has ended in only one
    minute, with Marmott the victor!
[09:47] ---
    And so, Marmott will now advance to the final!
[09:50] ---
    Hey!
[09:53] ---
    What're you doing?!
[09:54] ---
    Weren't you gonna charge
    over to me with a bouquet?!
[09:59] ---
    Th-Then may I charge over
    to you, my dearest Claire?
[10:04] ---
    D-Dummy!
[10:08] ---
    I did it! I did it! My dearest Claire!
[10:09] ---
    What are you babbling about?!
[10:11] ---
    But I thought she really hated Branmon...
[10:13] ---
    A maiden's heart is complicated.
[10:17] ---
    Well, that settles who your
    final opponent will be, Hiro.
[10:20] ---
    Yeah...
[10:22] ---
    Still, that Marmott guy's horrible!
    He won't get away with this!
[10:28] ---
    Guys, I'll definitely defeat Marmott!
[10:31] ---
    Oh?
[10:32] ---
    That's the spirit!
[10:34] ---
    You beat me, so Marmott should be a cinch!
[10:38] ---
    In the meantime, could you all try
    to find out what Arcally is planning?
[10:42] ---
    Huh?
[10:43] ---
    Indeed...
[10:44] ---
    It does seem best to act while the
    audience is focused on the final.
[10:49] ---
    But I wanted to cheer Hiro on...
[10:52] ---
    Thanks, Shin!
[10:53] ---
    Okay, let's get moving!
[10:56] ---
    Indeed!
[10:57] ---
    You better win!
[11:03] ---
    Hiro!
[11:05] ---
    It's time to start the final round!
[11:08] ---
    Please come to the waiting room!
[11:11] ---
    R-Right!
[11:12] ---
    What are Arcally's ambitions?
[11:15] ---
    Shin, Rei, and Yuna set out to investigate.
[11:18] ---
    Meanwhile, Hiro will face
    Marmott in the final round!
[11:21] ---
    You definitely won't want
    to miss what happens next!
[11:24] ---
    Next episode: "Fierce Fight!
    The Flame-Filled Final Round!"
[11:27] ---
    Await it with guts!
