[00:02] ---
    That's so annoying.
[00:04] ---
    Burp!
[00:06] ---
    Huh?
[00:06] ---
    What was that just now?
[00:07] ---
    Hey!
[00:08] ---
    Burp.
[00:09] ---
    No, seriously, what is that?
[00:11] ---
    Like I said, what is that?
[00:13] ---
    Stop eating my dialogue!
[00:15] ---
    The greatest Buddyfighter in the world!
[00:18] ---
    The WBC Cup has begun, and the winner will
    be the Buddy Champion, B!
[00:24] ---
    The fighters who won their way to the
    Cho-Tokyo Best 4 are...
[00:27] ---
    Tasuku Ryuenji!
[00:28] ---
    Gaito Kurouzu!
[00:29] ---
    Gao Mikado!
[00:30] ---
    And Dai Kaido!
[00:32] ---
    Who will be the one to make it to the finals?
[00:35] ---
    First match of the Semifinals!
[00:37] ---
    Gao Mikado vs. Gaito Kurouzu! Buddy...
[00:40] ---
    Meowt!
[02:13] ---
    One more carton!
[02:18] ---
    Ahh!
[02:19] ---
    Now Bal can become huge, like the big chief!
[02:24] ---
    Big chief?
[02:31] ---
    Are you okay?
[02:33] ---
    Bal is gonna get big
    and blow up Duel Jaeger!
[02:37] ---
    You sure will.
[02:39] ---
    Then what about your
    promise to see us at the finals?
[02:43] ---
    Senior Tasuku!
[02:44] ---
    Jack!
[02:45] ---
    Huh?
[02:46] ---
    Um...
[02:49] ---
    What are you...
[02:52] ---
    Hey, what's the big idea?
[02:53] ---
    He's so worried about whether you're back
    to normal that he can't even sleep at night.
[02:57] ---
    Jack!
[02:59] ---
    It's the truth, isn't it?
[03:00] ---
    It looks like you're okay now.
[03:02] ---
    Yeah. Sorry to make you worry.
[03:07] ---
    It's not working! Bal Burst Smasher?
[03:11] ---
    If you want to fight Duel Jaeger, you two
    would have to defeat Gaito Kurouzu tomorrow...
[03:18] ---
    And Tasuku would have to lose to Dai Kaido.
[03:21] ---
    Bal doesn't want that, bal!
[03:22] ---
    Bal wants to fight Jack too, bal!
[03:25] ---
    Then you need to win tomorrow's match.
[03:27] ---
    We'll be sure to win our match too.
[03:29] ---
    Bal understands, bal!
[03:30] ---
    Gao! We're going to defeat
    Gaito and Abygale for sure, bal!
[03:34] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[03:35] ---
    Did something happen between you and Gaito?
[03:39] ---
    Huh?
[03:41] ---
    There's no fooling you, Senior Tasuku.
[03:44] ---
    The other day, I saw Gaito Kurouzu
    fight against Kyoya Gaen.
[03:49] ---
    Kyoya Gaen?
[03:50] ---
    Yeah. Gaito won that fight, but...after that,
    Gaito said something that's been bothering me.
[03:58] ---
    Something that Gaito said?
[03:59] ---
    Before, when we fought, I thought that I
    could become friends with Gaito.
[04:03] ---
    Or rather, I wanted to become friends!
[04:05] ---
    That's what I thought. But...
[04:10] ---
    Buddyfight is no mere game.
[04:12] ---
    Maybe Buddyfight has
    a special significance to him.
[04:17] ---
    A special significance?
[04:19] ---
    Back when I was fighting bad guys on Buddy
    Police missions, I didn't think of it as a game.
[04:26] ---
    That's why Gaito saying that Buddyfight isn't a mere game
    is something to definitely be concerned about.
[04:33] ---
    I wonder what Gaito is fighting for.
[04:38] ---
    Gao. Worrying about that won't help anyone.
[04:42] ---
    Huh?
[04:43] ---
    As a Buddyfighter, the best thing you can do is to give it your
    all once you're standing on the fighting stage!
[04:49] ---
    Don't you agree?
[04:51] ---
    Senior Tasuku...
[04:52] ---
    Someday, you'll understand each other.
[04:55] ---
    That's right. Buddyfight is a game that
    can turn anybody into a friend!
[05:00] ---
    All right! Let's do our best, Bal!
[05:04] ---
    Huh?
[05:05] ---
    If you're looking for Bal,
    he went out this way.
[05:09] ---
    What?
[05:10] ---
    When you don't know something...
[05:12] ---
    It's best to ask the person in question, bal!
[05:16] ---
    Bal is gonna win the next fight for sure, bal!
[05:19] ---
    What?
[05:20] ---
    If it's not a game, then what does
    Buddyfight mean to Gaito, bal?
[05:24] ---
    Why would I have to tell you that?
[05:29] ---
    Gao wants to know, bal!
[05:31] ---
    Bal wants to tell him, bal!
[05:34] ---
    You're so considerate of your Buddy.
[05:36] ---
    Bal is considerate of Bal's Buddy, bal!
[05:39] ---
    But I have no obligation to tell you.
[05:41] ---
    Huh?
[05:42] ---
    Go back to your Buddy, now!
[05:44] ---
    Bal...
[05:46] ---
    I want to know too.
[05:47] ---
    Abygale?
[05:48] ---
    What does Buddyfight mean to you?
[05:55] ---
    Does Bal know where Gaito Kurouzu lives?
[05:58] ---
    I don't think so.
[06:01] ---
    But Bal said that Gaito is always here.
[06:10] ---
    Bal...
[06:12] ---
    To me, Buddyfight is...
[06:15] ---
    Something that lets me prove
    to the world that I'm the strongest.
[06:19] ---
    To the world?
[06:20] ---
    Bal?
[06:21] ---
    That's why victory is the only
    thing that makes Buddyfight worthwhile.
[06:26] ---
    Gaito.
[06:27] ---
    Gao.
[06:29] ---
    Sorry, I couldn't help overhearing you.
[06:31] ---
    You think that victory is the only thing
    that makes Buddyfight worthwhile?
[06:34] ---
    You look like you want to disagree.
[06:37] ---
    There are so many other things you can
    gain from Buddyfights other than victory!
[06:41] ---
    Gao Mikado.
[06:42] ---
    I'll tell you what I hate.
[06:45] ---
    Huh?
[06:46] ---
    I hate people who lecture me.
[06:48] ---
    Bal!
[06:52] ---
    Gaito.
[06:54] ---
    To me, Buddyfight is not a game.
[06:57] ---
    Defeat cannot be permitted.
[06:59] ---
    That's my fate.
[07:01] ---
    I don't have time to waste on you fools!
[07:05] ---
    Gao!
[07:06] ---
    Bal?
[07:08] ---
    Gaito told me, bal!
[07:10] ---
    What are you...
[07:11] ---
    Gaito wants to tell the world
    that he's the strongest, bal!
[07:15] ---
    Bal wants to become Buddy Champion
    and tell the world too, bal!
[07:18] ---
    If Bal and Gao win tomorrow, that means
    we're stronger than Gaito, who's the strongest, bal!
[07:23] ---
    We'll be super-strongest, bal!
[07:24] ---
    Really?
[07:26] ---
    Super-strongest?
[07:28] ---
    How idiotic.
[07:30] ---
    We're leaving, Abygale.
[07:32] ---
    The super-strongest, huh?
[07:34] ---
    Let's do it! Let's become
    the super-strongest!
[07:36] ---
    We will, bal!
[07:38] ---
    Bal, bal, bal!
[07:40] ---
    Don't be ridiculous!
[07:41] ---
    Tomorrow, you will lose to me.
[07:44] ---
    That's your fate.
[07:47] ---
    Gaito...
[07:48] ---
    Senior Tasuku, I'm going to do what you said.
    I'll give it my all in the fight!
[07:53] ---
    That's the spirit!
[07:54] ---
    If I do that, maybe we can do it.
[07:56] ---
    Huh?
[07:57] ---
    Whenever I Buddyfight, I always
    become friends with my opponent.
[08:00] ---
    That's how I Buddyfight!
[08:03] ---
    That's true.
[08:05] ---
    We can't take it easy either.
[08:07] ---
    You're right.
[08:08] ---
    Thanks!
[08:09] ---
    Gao, what are you doing here anyway?
[08:13] ---
    You can't go wandering around at night!
[08:16] ---
    Don't make us worry like that!
[08:18] ---
    Bal came and asked for Gao's sake, bal!
[08:20] ---
    Bal did his best, bal!
[08:22] ---
    But I'm the one who's going
    to get yelled at by Mom!
[08:26] ---
    Fated to become the strongest, huh.
[08:29] ---
    It's the truth.
[08:31] ---
    After all, ever since you became
    my Buddy, Abygale, I've never lost.
[08:37] ---
    That's true.
[08:39] ---
    Naturally, we'll win tomorrow, too.
[08:44] ---
    As long as you're with me,
    you can become the strongest.
[08:53] ---
    The WBC Cup Cho-tokyo Championship is
    finally heading into the semifinals!
[08:58] ---
    Everyone's eyes are on the first match, a showdown between
    Aibo Academy Elementary school students!
[09:02] ---
    Gao Mikado and Gaito Kurouzu
    will be facing off on the stage!
[09:07] ---
    Both have Buddies with Impact Monsters.
[09:10] ---
    That's expected to be a highlight of this match.
[09:13] ---
    Oh my, he actually sounds like a commentator!
[09:16] ---
    Talk about out of character!
[09:17] ---
    That zombie thinks he's such hot stuff!
[09:19] ---
    What did you just say?
[09:22] ---
    I've been analyzing and
    commentating from the start, B!
[09:26] ---
    Gao! We'll become
    the super-strongest, bal!
[09:28] ---
    Yeah! Let's do it, Bal!
    The super-strongest!
[09:33] ---
    Rise, sun!
[09:35] ---
    Burn, sun!
[09:37] ---
    Luminize!
    Scorching Sun Dragon!
[09:41] ---
    The dark hour has begun...
[09:44] ---
    Luminize...
[09:46] ---
    Hollow Black Dragon.
[09:49] ---
    Buddy...
[09:51] ---
    Fight!
[09:53] ---
    Raise the flag!
[09:55] ---
    Dragon World!
[09:57] ---
    Dragon World, bal!
[09:58] ---
    Darkness Dragon World.
[10:01] ---
    First move goes to Gao Mikado!
[10:03] ---
    Charge and draw!
[10:07] ---
    I'll show you this!
    The debut of a new sun!
[10:11] ---
    Bal!
[10:13] ---
    I pay 1 gauge and 1 life to equip!
[10:17] ---
    Sun Fist, Balguard!
[10:20] ---
    Gao! Gao looks so cool, bal!
[10:21] ---
    A new sun?
[10:23] ---
    Gao's new item, Sun Fist, Balguard!
[10:26] ---
    What sort of abilities does it have?
[10:28] ---
    Keep watching, and you'll figure it out!
[10:29] ---
    When you're as experienced as I am,
    I can figure it out without looking.
[10:32] ---
    It's probably, you know, that thing...
[10:34] ---
    Gao! Hit Gaito real hard, bal!
[10:37] ---
    Sun Fist! Balguard!
[10:43] ---
    My turn is over!
[10:46] ---
    No matter what item you use, it's useless.
[10:48] ---
    My turn.
[10:49] ---
    Draw. Charge and draw.
[10:53] ---
    I call Black Fire, Inflame to the left.
[10:57] ---
    Which one is my enemy?
[10:59] ---
    Dark whirlwind that carries death.
[11:01] ---
    I pay 1 gauge and Buddy call to the right!
[11:04] ---
    Black Death Dragon, Abygale!
[11:08] ---
    He's here, bal!
[11:10] ---
    Right!
[11:15] ---
    I'll destroy all of Gaito's enemies,
    no matter who they might be!
[11:21] ---
    Gaito Kurouzu has called monsters
    to the right and left...
[11:24] ---
    And he's paid 1 gauge and 1 life to equip
    Death Dragon Sickle, Gale Scythe!
[11:29] ---
    With this formation, it looks like he's
    trying to beat Gao at his own game!
[11:33] ---
    Bal wanted to do the Gao Formation first, bal!
[11:37] ---
    Here it comes! Gaito's deck destroying technique!
[11:40] ---
    You've got to survive this, Gao!
[11:42] ---
    Your deck will become my power.
[11:45] ---
    I cast! Black Drain!
[11:53] ---
    Gao's cards were sent to the drop zone, bal!
[11:57] ---
    Now attack the fighter...
[11:59] ---
    And destroy! Destroy! Destroy!
[12:03] ---
    Burn!
[12:07] ---
    Gale Claw!
[12:13] ---
    You're going to lose here and now!
[12:16] ---
    I cast! Blue Dragon Shield!
[12:19] ---
    My turn is over.
[12:21] ---
    Gao Mikado has managed to survive Gaito's
    combined attacks with 6 life!
[12:27] ---
    I knew this would happen, B.
[12:30] ---
    Right now, Gao Mikado has
    5 cards in his drop zone.
[12:34] ---
    And Gaito has 2 gauge.
[12:36] ---
    At this point, there's no way that
    he'd use his Impact Monster.
[12:39] ---
    That's certainly accurate, but...
[12:41] ---
    He's being really annoying about it.
[12:43] ---
    I call Mera Blade Dragon to the left!
[12:47] ---
    I'm getting fired up, mera!
[12:50] ---
    Here we go, Bal!
[12:51] ---
    It's Bal's turn, bal!
[12:53] ---
    I pay 1 gauge and Buddy call to the right!
[12:57] ---
    Bal, bal!
[13:00] ---
    Dragon of the Sun, Bal Dragon!
[13:02] ---
    Bal will try his best!
[13:04] ---
    It looks like Gaito stole Gao's thunder earlier.
[13:08] ---
    But he's finally completed
    the Gao Formation!
[13:11] ---
    Yes! This is just the start of
    Gao Mikado's specialty move, B!
[13:16] ---
    I cast! Bal Support!
[13:19] ---
    If Bal is on the field, I gain 2 gauge...
[13:22] ---
    And 2 life, bal!
[13:24] ---
    He's going to try and finish it in one turn.
[13:26] ---
    Yeah.
[13:27] ---
    Mera Blade! Attack Gaito!
[13:29] ---
    Mera mera mera!
[13:32] ---
    Mera Blade!
[13:36] ---
    Next, it's Bal's turn, bal!
[13:40] ---
    Bal! Bal!
[13:41] ---
    Bal!
[13:46] ---
    Balguard!
[13:49] ---
    Gaito!
[13:50] ---
    What?
[13:52] ---
    You told me that to you,
    Buddyfight isn't a game.
[13:55] ---
    So what? It's none of your business!
[13:58] ---
    If it's not a game, that means you're
    serious about becoming the strongest, right?
[14:02] ---
    I'm serious about becoming
    Buddy Champion, too.
[14:05] ---
    In the end, you and I are the same!
[14:09] ---
    What are you trying to say?
[14:10] ---
    You and I are the same?
[14:13] ---
    Ridiculous.
[14:14] ---
    Hurry up and end your turn!
[14:16] ---
    I want to be friends with you!
[14:20] ---
    Final Phase!
[14:22] ---
    Here it comes!
    Gao Mikado's Impact Monster!
[14:25] ---
    Impact Call!
[14:27] ---
    I pay 3 gauge and transform
    Bal Dragon into an Impact Monster!
[14:33] ---
    Bal will try his super-best!
[14:37] ---
    This will finish you!
[14:45] ---
    Bal is now a Size 2 monster with 11000 power,
    6000 defense, and a critical of 4!
[14:52] ---
    This card's attacks can't be nullified!
[15:04] ---
    Bal Burst Smasher!
[15:08] ---
    I cast! Black Dragon Shield!
[15:12] ---
    Bal?
[15:12] ---
    He blocked the attack?
[15:13] ---
    What?
[15:15] ---
    But he just said that the Bal Burst
    Smasher can't ever be neutralized!
[15:19] ---
    Meow!
[15:20] ---
    Your Impact Monster is powerless
    before my Black Dragon Shield!
[15:24] ---
    I get it! The attack wasn't neutralized...
[15:28] ---
    Bal Burst Smasher's damage
    was changed to 0!
[15:31] ---
    That's right! The spell Black Dragon Shield
    reduces all damage to 0, and adds 1 life!
[15:39] ---
    And now Gao Mikado's turn is over!
[15:41] ---
    His Impact Monster ace in
    the hole turned out to be a dud!
[15:45] ---
    Gao!
[15:46] ---
    Don't look so worried.
[15:49] ---
    Who could have guessed that
    he'd block our Impact Monster?
[15:52] ---
    That is your fate.
[15:54] ---
    Then I'll block it too.
[15:57] ---
    What?
[15:57] ---
    I'll block your Impact Monster!
[16:00] ---
    That's impossible, turtle!
[16:02] ---
    He's probably bluffing, turtle!
[16:03] ---
    But he's smiling, turtle!
[16:06] ---
    He might surprise us all and be our
    opponent in the final match.
[16:10] ---
    I discard one hand card and activate
    Abygale's ability!
[16:15] ---
    Wind of Atonement!
[16:18] ---
    Destroy Bal Dragon!
[16:20] ---
    Bal!
[16:21] ---
    Bal Dragon is a size 2 monster.
[16:24] ---
    The top two cards in Gao's
    deck are sent to the drop zone...
[16:29] ---
    Bal revives, bal!
[16:31] ---
    But Bal Dragon survives due to Soulguard!
[16:34] ---
    One more time!
[16:35] ---
    Wind of Atonement!
[16:38] ---
    Bal, bal, bal!
[16:40] ---
    Sun Fist, Balguard! Activate!
[16:44] ---
    It's the new sun!
[16:48] ---
    Gao Mikado uses Balguard to prevent a
    monster's destruction!
[16:50] ---
    What on earth just happened?
[16:53] ---
    Meow meow?
[16:57] ---
    Sun Fist, Balguard!
[16:59] ---
    6000 power, and a critical of 2!
[17:01] ---
    It can't be destroyed by effect
    damage from an opponent.
[17:03] ---
    And by paying 1 gauge, it can be
    sacrificed in the place of a Sun Dragon!
[17:09] ---
    Gao has used his new
    item to protect Bal Dragon!
[17:12] ---
    Gao, you saved Bal, bal!
[17:16] ---
    But he's lost another 2 cards
    from the top of his deck!
[17:19] ---
    No matter how much you struggle,
    you can't change your fate.
[17:23] ---
    Inflame! Attack Mera Blade!
[17:25] ---
    Burn!
    Mera-curses!
[17:29] ---
    Your fate is to lose, here and now!
[17:33] ---
    Gale Scythe!
[17:39] ---
    Gale Claw!
[17:42] ---
    This is bad.
[17:43] ---
    Gaito still has his Impact Monster.
[17:45] ---
    Yeah.
[17:47] ---
    Final Phase!
[17:48] ---
    Here it comes!
    Gaito Kurouzu's Impact Monster!
[17:52] ---
    Impact Call to the center.
[17:54] ---
    I pay 3 gauge and transform Abygale
    into an Impact Monster!
[18:00] ---
    Abygale is now a size 3 monster with 8000
    power, 7000 defense, and a critical of 2.
[18:06] ---
    And I activate his ability!
[18:11] ---
    Finally, Gaito's Impact Monster
    is going to settle the score, B!
[18:16] ---
    Now you will learn Gaito's true power!
[18:22] ---
    I send 10 cards from your
    deck to the drop zone.
[18:26] ---
    I also deal 2 damage,
    and increase my life by 2.
[18:31] ---
    Give us your cards and your life!
[18:35] ---
    He destroys Gao's deck and deals 2 damage!
[18:38] ---
    Offer your soul to the dark whirlwind!
[18:42] ---
    Defeat is your destiny.
[18:46] ---
    Now surrender yourself to destiny!
[18:48] ---
    Unlimited Death Drain!
[18:50] ---
    Gao!
[18:52] ---
    I cast! Sun Dragon Shield!
[18:55] ---
    He blocked it!
[18:57] ---
    Meow!
[18:58] ---
    What?
[18:59] ---
    That's Gao for you, bal!
[19:01] ---
    And now it's my turn!
[19:04] ---
    My turn is over.
[19:06] ---
    Gaito used Black Dragon Shield
    to survive Gao's Impact Monster,
[19:09] ---
    and Gao nullified the Impact Monster's
    attack using Sun Dragon Shield!
[19:14] ---
    They're both giving it their all in this
    fight, using up all of their hand cards!
[19:17] ---
    Nobody can predict which one will win!
[19:21] ---
    What are you laughing at?
[19:22] ---
    This is the best, Gaito!
[19:24] ---
    It's been a while since
    I've had a fight like this!
[19:26] ---
    Why, you...
[19:28] ---
    Both fighters have only one
    Impact Monster on their field.
[19:32] ---
    If Gao doesn't finish him off during this
    turn, he's got nothing left...
[19:36] ---
    But Gaito is protected by
    Abygale in his center position!
[19:40] ---
    Gao needs to destroy Abygale in the center...
[19:43] ---
    And deal 4 damage to Gaito.
[19:47] ---
    Your festival is just beginning!
[19:50] ---
    Eclipsing the darkness with flames...
[19:53] ---
    ...and brightening the hearts of the mistreated!
[19:55] ---
    The Mighty Sun Fighter is here!
[19:58] ---
    The Mighty Sun Fighter?
[20:00] ---
    My turn!
[20:03] ---
    Draw!
[20:08] ---
    Charge and draw!
[20:12] ---
    Don't tell me that he drew it!
[20:14] ---
    At the last minute?
[20:16] ---
    Bal! Attack Abygale!
[20:18] ---
    Bal! Bal, bal!
[20:24] ---
    Bal!
[20:27] ---
    Bal!
[20:32] ---
    Gaito...
[20:36] ---
    Abygale!
[20:37] ---
    Final Phase!
[20:39] ---
    Unbelievable!
    It's a second Impact Monster, B!
[20:43] ---
    As I feared! In his last draw...
[20:45] ---
    Impact Call!
[20:47] ---
    I pay 3 gauge and transform Bal Dragon
    into an Impact Monster again!
[21:05] ---
    Bal Burst Smasher!
[21:15] ---
    Game End!
    Winner, Gao Mikado!
[21:18] ---
    All right!
    Thank you very much!
[21:21] ---
    Gao! We won, bal!
[21:23] ---
    Super-strongest, bal!
[21:25] ---
    Yeah! We're the super-strongest!
[21:27] ---
    Bal!
[21:28] ---
    Simply amazing!
[21:29] ---
    We were treated to an exchange of Impact
    Monsters, something you can't see anywhere else!
[21:33] ---
    But when the smoke cleared, it was Gao Mikado rising from
    the ashes to turn the tables and grasp victory!
[21:37] ---
    He's headed to the finals!
[21:39] ---
    It's our turn next.
[21:41] ---
    You look like you can hardly
    contain your excitement.
[21:44] ---
    Huh?
[21:44] ---
    I don't blame you. After all,
    I feel the same way.
[21:48] ---
    Jack!
[21:49] ---
    Sorry. I was so very surprised...
[21:52] ---
    Has anyone seen my body?
[21:54] ---
    No, we haven't!
[21:56] ---
    Now, it's my turn!
[21:59] ---
    Time to haul in Tasuku Ryuenji!
[22:02] ---
    Ten-four and roger that, turtle!
[22:05] ---
    I...lost...
[22:12] ---
    Gaito.
[22:20] ---
    Gaito. That's enough.
[22:22] ---
    No, it's not!
[22:24] ---
    I went against my own destiny.
[22:28] ---
    I can't forgive myself for losing.
[22:32] ---
    Gaito...
[22:40] ---
    Gaito.
[22:41] ---
    You shouldn't blame yourself like that.
[22:44] ---
    That was the best fight ever!
[22:48] ---
    Gao?
[22:51] ---
    But even if that's how you feel,
    I'm going to be friends with you!
[22:54] ---
    Today's winning card!
[22:57] ---
    Sun Fist, Balguard!
[23:00] ---
    You can use it for attacks as a powerful weapon,
[23:02] ---
    but you can also prevent a Sun Dragon monster
    from being destroyed by using this card as a sacrifice!
[23:07] ---
    That's a relief, bal!
[24:41] ---
    Th-This is Huge Chief's true power, bal?
[24:44] ---
    But surely Jack's Impact Monster can...
[24:47] ---
    Next episode: It's Here!
    Duel Jaeger Revolted!
[24:51] ---
    Buddyfight, bal!
