[01:51] ---
    It's complete.
[01:52] ---
    It's finally complete, forsooth.
[01:53] ---
    A spectacular creation indeed, my lord.
[01:56] ---
    This blade will cut through all hesitation and slash every
    enemy, reflecting the Buddyfighter's heart like a mirror...
[02:03] ---
    My sword is the ultimate work of art
    as well as the greatest weapon.
[02:08] ---
    Truly, a samurai's treasure.
[02:12] ---
    I will become the greatest in Japan!
[02:14] ---
    I will become champion in the Ace
    Buddyfighter Play-offs, forsooth!
[02:19] ---
    Shop Preliminaries Begin! Samurai versus Ninja!
[02:24] ---
    Deity Dragon Blade, Garkunai!
[02:26] ---
    A Ninja attribute weapon from Katana World.
[02:28] ---
    Increases the power of all
    monsters on your field by 3000.
[02:32] ---
    And it increases their criticals by 1!
[02:34] ---
    Yuga, you got a Katana World card?
[02:37] ---
    That's right. I went to register for the Ace
    Buddyfighter Play-offs at the Castle card shop.
[02:43] ---
    And while I was there,
    I bought a pack and...
[02:46] ---
    See? Look at all these cards!
[02:49] ---
    Hades Flame Style, Art of Fire Manipulation
    and Art of Shadow Stitching...
[02:54] ---
    Ninjas are so cool!
[02:56] ---
    That's for sure. Katana World is a complex
    world full of ninja, samurai, and more.
[03:02] ---
    Hey Yuga, you should put
    this card in your deck.
[03:05] ---
    That's not possible.
[03:07] ---
    Yuga uses the Dragon World flag card.
[03:10] ---
    As a result, he can only include
    Dragon World cards in his deck.
[03:14] ---
    Too bad. I really wanted to use these.
[03:17] ---
    Thank you for waiting.
[03:19] ---
    Please enjoy.
[03:20] ---
    Thank you. I accept with gratitude.
[03:22] ---
    That looks so good!
[03:24] ---
    The Shop Preliminaries
    are starting soon, right?
[03:26] ---
    Yeah. Let's both do our best.
[03:29] ---
    Speaking of Katana World...
[03:31] ---
    I seem to recall a certain someone will be
    participating at Castle for the preliminaries.
[03:36] ---
    A certain someone?
[03:37] ---
    Kanesada Kaji.
[03:39] ---
    His Buddy is Steelframe
    Swordsman, KUROGANE.
[03:41] ---
    He's a really strong Buddyfighter!
[03:43] ---
    So the preliminaries will give us a chance to
    battle against such challenging opponents.
[03:48] ---
    I wonder what sort of Buddyfighter he is.
[03:51] ---
    I can't wait to find out!
[03:55] ---
    Miko said that Kanesada
    always trains around here, but...
[04:01] ---
    Look, Yuga.
[04:03] ---
    What's that?
[04:08] ---
    I attack the fighter with
    Dragonblade, Dragofearless!
[04:13] ---
    You fell for it!
[04:14] ---
    I will strike you down!
[04:18] ---
    Whoa, amazing!
[04:19] ---
    That's what you get when
    you face Kanesada Kaji!
[04:24] ---
    Thank you for holding nothing
    back in this battle, forsooth.
[04:26] ---
    I join my lord in thanking you.
[04:29] ---
    What's going on? What's this all about?
[04:31] ---
    The other Buddyfighter attacked, so why
    is he the one who got knocked out?
[04:34] ---
    And he's down to zero life.
[04:39] ---
    Thank you.
[04:40] ---
    With your help, I had a wonderful
    training session, forsooth.
[04:43] ---
    Well, I had a lot of fun too.
[04:46] ---
    Indeed. A battle against Katana
    World is something special.
[04:49] ---
    And so, you too should become
    a samurai like myself, forsooth.
[04:54] ---
    A Katana World flag card. It's even
    autographed by yours truly, forsooth!
[05:00] ---
    Thank you!
[05:01] ---
    I'm pleased to see you so happy.
[05:03] ---
    And as a limited-time offer,
    you can get one of these!
[05:07] ---
    Special collectible mini-posters
    featuring my lord!
[05:09] ---
    Four styles to collect!
[05:11] ---
    What do you think?
[05:12] ---
    Join me in strengthening yourself,
    and strengthening your Buddy,
[05:15] ---
    by becoming a samurai and building
    a brighter future for Katana World!
[05:21] ---
    Good bye!
[05:25] ---
    What a modest fellow.
[05:29] ---
    In that case, I offer these autographed
    flag cards to everyone gathered here.
[05:33] ---
    Go ahead, don't be shy!
[05:35] ---
    All right!
[05:36] ---
    Thanks!
[05:37] ---
    Please take one of
    the mini-posters as well.
[05:39] ---
    Uh, no thanks, I don't need that.
[05:40] ---
    I have to go now.
[05:42] ---
    Hey! Come back!
[05:44] ---
    Why won't they accept these
    wonderful works of art?
[05:48] ---
    So this is a Katana World flag.
[05:51] ---
    You! You're Yuga Mikado, aren't you?
[05:54] ---
    Huh? You've heard of me?
[05:56] ---
    Of course, forsooth.
[05:57] ---
    Your battles in the ABC Cup
    were magnificent.
[06:00] ---
    I see. You watched my matches.
[06:03] ---
    Thank you!
[06:04] ---
    Oh, this is my little brother Haru.
[06:06] ---
    Hello! Nice to meet you.
[06:08] ---
    Indeed. The pleasure is all mine.
[06:10] ---
    And this guy is...
[06:12] ---
    Gargantua Dragon!
[06:15] ---
    That blade, so slender yet sharp!
[06:17] ---
    The magnificent craftsmanship
    behind that edged point!
[06:19] ---
    Truly the skill of a master!
[06:21] ---
    A world-class work of art!
[06:24] ---
    I-If you say so.
[06:25] ---
    Is this guy really that strong?
[06:28] ---
    He's strong... I think.
[06:33] ---
    I am my lord's Buddy, KUROGANE.
[06:36] ---
    I humbly request a sparring session with you.
[06:38] ---
    Sparring?
[06:39] ---
    Very well.
[06:54] ---
    He's a good match for Garga! That Buddy
    of yours, KUROGANE... he's strong!
[06:59] ---
    The two of us work hard every day,
    training and polishing our skills.
[07:04] ---
    Yes... we do all this to master
    the path of the samurai.
[07:07] ---
    The path of the samurai?
[07:09] ---
    To read your opponent's thoughts, and make
    split-second decisions with your iron will,
[07:13] ---
    and decide the outcome of a
    battle within the blink of an eye...
[07:16] ---
    That is how we samurai battle.
[07:18] ---
    That is how we Buddyfight
    in Katana World, forsooth.
[07:22] ---
    I don't really get it, but Katana
    World must be amazing.
[07:30] ---
    Oh no, Garga!
[07:31] ---
    Look out!
[07:32] ---
    Now is my chance!
[07:35] ---
    What?
[07:38] ---
    That's enough.
[07:43] ---
    Thank you very much.
[07:45] ---
    Indeed. It was good practice for me too.
[07:50] ---
    My heart was pounding!
[07:51] ---
    I mean, it looked like
    Garga was about to lose.
[07:55] ---
    I am the Deity of Combat.
    It would be impossible to defeat me.
[07:59] ---
    However, battling against those two
    may be something of a challenge.
[08:04] ---
    What do you mean?
[08:05] ---
    My opponent earlier, KUROGANE,
    is a skilled swordsman.
[08:09] ---
    In addition, battles against Katana World
    often involve complex psychological warfare.
[08:16] ---
    So it's a battle of the heart and mind...
[08:22] ---
    The Ace Buddyfighter Play-offs
    are about to begin!
[08:26] ---
    The first stage is the Shop Preliminaries, which
    are taking place at card shops around the country.
[08:31] ---
    Here at Castle, all the participating Buddyfighters
    will be competing in a round robin-style league series!
[08:36] ---
    The Buddyfighter with the best record will
    be chosen as the Shop Representative!
[08:39] ---
    Let the first match begin, chu!
[08:43] ---
    Facing off in the glorious
    opening match are these two!
[08:50] ---
    I never thought I'd be up
    against you in the first match!
[08:53] ---
    I'm happy that I can fight
    against strong guys like you!
[08:57] ---
    The first step towards
    becoming an Ace Buddyfighter!
[08:59] ---
    Yuga Mikado and Kanesada
    Kaji's showdown begins now!
[09:04] ---
    A Deity's Dragon Ninja Troopers
    at your beck and call!
[09:09] ---
    Luminize! Draninja!
[09:12] ---
    Huh? Ninja troopers? Draninja?
[09:14] ---
    Infusing my soul into every strike!
    The iron blade glitters when it is drawn!
[09:20] ---
    Luminize! Steel Bladedancer!
[09:24] ---
    Buddy...fight!
[09:26] ---
    Raise the flag!
[09:29] ---
    Katana World!
[09:32] ---
    Katana World!
[09:34] ---
    What?
[09:35] ---
    Yuga Mikado is using Katana World?
[09:38] ---
    What an unbelievable shocking surprise!
[09:40] ---
    My jaw dropped, chu!
[09:42] ---
    Incidentally, what's with
    that illegible scrawl?
[09:47] ---
    Illegible scrawl? How rude!
[09:49] ---
    It's my autograph, forsooth.
[09:51] ---
    Yuga, you really get it!
[09:54] ---
    You understand how
    wonderful Katana World is!
[09:56] ---
    The soul of the samurai...
[09:58] ---
    I'm speechless with joy!
[10:00] ---
    But, but, what about his Buddy?
[10:02] ---
    Garga is from Dragon World...
[10:04] ---
    No need to worry.
[10:06] ---
    Whatever could that mean?
[10:07] ---
    The truth is, Garga has a secret...
[10:11] ---
    I wish I could battle using this...
[10:13] ---
    Using Katana World cards.
[10:15] ---
    It's just not possible. After all,
    Garga is from Dragon World.
[10:18] ---
    There's no need for mourning.
[10:21] ---
    I have a way to battle in other worlds.
[10:23] ---
    As long as you have the flag card,
    I can even battle in a Katana World deck.
[10:28] ---
    U-U-Unbelievable!
[10:30] ---
    Garga seems to have a miraculous power.
[10:32] ---
    Here I go, forsooth!
[10:35] ---
    Steelframe Swordsman, KUROGANE!
[10:37] ---
    Gargantua Dragon!
[10:42] ---
    I'm counting on you, Garga.
[10:44] ---
    Leave it to me!
[10:56] ---
    First up, it's Yuga's turn.
[10:58] ---
    Here I go.
[10:59] ---
    Draw. Charge and draw.
[11:02] ---
    I call Nindog to the center.
[11:05] ---
    You howl, I answer!
    Leave it to me, dog. Nin!
[11:08] ---
    Huh? A ninja?
[11:10] ---
    So cool!
[11:13] ---
    I call Nincat to the left!
[11:16] ---
    All right! I'm going to do it, cat! Nin!
[11:19] ---
    Another ninja?
[11:21] ---
    This is the best!
[11:23] ---
    Why are you using ninja, forsooth?
[11:24] ---
    When you're using Katana World, it's only
    natural to think of samurai. Right?
[11:28] ---
    Using Nincat's effect, I discard Fuuton
    Sweeping Whirlwind from my hand cards...
[11:31] ---
    And I draw a card.
[11:36] ---
    And due to Sweeping Whirlwind's effect,
    I draw another card.
[11:40] ---
    Nincat, attack the fighter!
[11:43] ---
    Leave it to me, cat.
[11:44] ---
    Nin!
[11:47] ---
    Yuga's first attack lands!
[11:50] ---
    My turn is over.
[11:54] ---
    Draw.
[11:55] ---
    Charge and draw.
[11:56] ---
    I call Magnetic Swordsman NEO to the left!
[11:59] ---
    I Buddy call Steelframe Swordsman
    KUROGANE to the right, forsooth!
[12:07] ---
    Under my lord's command,
    KUROGANE has appeared!
[12:11] ---
    I pay 1 life and equip Excelblade
    Godslash, KANESADA.
[12:23] ---
    Behold its magnificent strength!
[12:25] ---
    Its shine and its beauty!
[12:27] ---
    Excelblade Godslash, KANESADA
    is my ultimate masterpiece!
[12:30] ---
    Never before in all of history, across all of the
    realms has there ever been a work of art like this!
[12:35] ---
    And in all of Katana World, the only
    one who can use this sword is...
[12:39] ---
    Excuse me, Kanesada?
[12:42] ---
    My lord, we are in
    the midst of a Buddyfight.
[12:45] ---
    O-Oh, that's right.
[12:47] ---
    Due to KUROGANE's effect, Nindog is destroyed.
    And the fighter takes 2 damage.
[12:53] ---
    The rest is up to you, dog...
[12:54] ---
    Nin!
[12:59] ---
    Magnetic Swordsman, NEO!
[13:01] ---
    Attack Yuga!
[13:05] ---
    Double Attack, forsooth!
[13:10] ---
    Yuga!
[13:12] ---
    KUROGANE! It's your turn, forsooth.
[13:16] ---
    My sword is my lord's sword!
[13:17] ---
    Take this!
[13:19] ---
    I cast! Art of Shadow Stitching!
[13:25] ---
    I've blocked KUROGANE's
    Double Attack using this Ninja Arts.
[13:32] ---
    I expected no less.
[13:33] ---
    My turn is over.
[13:35] ---
    He was bragging so much about his
    Excelblade Godslash, KANESADA, but...
[13:39] ---
    Why didn't he use it?
[13:40] ---
    Time for the players to switch off.
[13:42] ---
    Now it's Yuga's turn!
[13:44] ---
    Draw. Charge and draw.
[13:48] ---
    Gargantua Dragon...
    Buddy call to the right!
[13:53] ---
    All are powerless before my blade!
[13:56] ---
    I equip Deity Dragon Blade, Garkunai!
[14:02] ---
    Due to KUROGANE's effect, Nincat is
    destroyed, and Yuga takes 2 damage.
[14:09] ---
    I'm defeated, cat!
[14:11] ---
    Nin!
[14:17] ---
    Due to Excelblade Godslash, KANESADA being
    equipped, KUROGANE's ability activates,
[14:21] ---
    chipping away at Yuga Mikado's life!
[14:24] ---
    We're going to strike back.
[14:25] ---
    Garga! Let's do a link attack.
[14:27] ---
    As you wish!
[14:30] ---
    You fell for it.
[14:31] ---
    I'll strike both of you down!
[14:33] ---
    I cast! Pinnacle of Iai, Godspeed!
[14:43] ---
    I can use Pinnacle of Iai, Godspeed
    only because it is Yuga's turn.
[14:48] ---
    What does that mean?
[14:50] ---
    This is sudden, but let me explain!
[14:52] ---
    Pinnacle of Iai, Godspeed is an impact that
    can be used during the opponent's turn,
[14:56] ---
    if the player has an
    Excelblade in the stand position!
[15:01] ---
    I get it. That's why, back then...
[15:04] ---
    You fell for it!
[15:06] ---
    I will strike you down!
[15:09] ---
    Excelblade Godslash, KANESADA
    and Pinnacle of Iai, Godspeed.
[15:14] ---
    If he gets both of those cards again...
[15:16] ---
    You will learn the true power
    of the samurai, forsooth!
[15:20] ---
    I call Silver Orchid
    Swordsman SUZU to the left!
[15:27] ---
    Due to her effect, I add Pinnacle of Iai,
    Godspeed from my deck to my hand!
[15:32] ---
    In his hand again!
[15:33] ---
    Oh dear, oh dear.
    This is quite the problem.
[15:37] ---
    Silver Orchid Swordsman, SUZU!
    Attack the fighter, forsooth.
[15:42] ---
    I cast! Art of Shadow Stitching.
[15:47] ---
    Then I'll use KUROGANE!
[15:49] ---
    In my lord's stead,
    I shall strike you down!
[15:51] ---
    I cast! Demon Way, Kasumienran!
[15:59] ---
    I am capable of Double Attack.
[16:04] ---
    Yuga Mikado is down to 1 life!
[16:06] ---
    It's a life-or-death situation!
[16:08] ---
    Kanesada Kaji is so strong, chu!
[16:12] ---
    You really are strong.
[16:14] ---
    This is great!
[16:16] ---
    At this moment, seeing Yuga's smile,
    Kanesada thought to himself...
[16:19] ---
    If Yuga did not have defense spells...
[16:23] ---
    He could attack using Excelblade Godslash,
    KANESADA and win! However!
[16:29] ---
    He's so confident.
[16:31] ---
    If he has a defense spell
    in those hand cards...
[16:34] ---
    His attack would be blocked, and Godslash
    KANESADA would be placed in the rest position.
[16:37] ---
    As a result, during Yuga's next turn,
    he would be unable to use Pinnacle of Iai.
[16:43] ---
    When Yuga attacks, I can use this
    card and finish him for certain...
[16:48] ---
    I will place my faith in my impact!
[16:53] ---
    My turn is over, forsooth.
[16:56] ---
    Whoa! Kanesada Kaji passes up an opportunity to use
    Excelblade Godslash, KANESADA and ends his turn!
[17:04] ---
    I cast! Art of Getting Fish!
[17:06] ---
    I move Garga and Garkunai
    from the drop zone to my hand!
[17:12] ---
    Garga and Garkunai have been revived!
[17:14] ---
    I place the top card in my deck in the soul
    and call Gargantua Dragon to the right!
[17:22] ---
    I rise up once more!
[17:25] ---
    I call Nincat to the left.
    Due to his effect, I draw one card.
[17:28] ---
    Leave it to me again, cat! Nin!
[17:34] ---
    Due to Sweeping Whirlwind's effect,
    I draw another card.
[17:38] ---
    I pay 1 gauge and 1 life and...
[17:41] ---
    I equip! Deity Dragon Blade, Garkunai!
[17:43] ---
    This is the end for you, forsooth.
[17:45] ---
    Indeed!
[17:46] ---
    KUROGANE's ability, activate!
[17:47] ---
    If this attack lands,
    Kanesada Kaji will be victorious!
[17:50] ---
    I cast! Gokuen-style
    Wild Fire Control Arts!
[17:56] ---
    He blocked it!
[17:57] ---
    Great job, Yuga!
[17:58] ---
    Garga! Attack KUROGANE!
[18:02] ---
    KUROGANE!
[18:09] ---
    I have Double Attack!
[18:14] ---
    My lord Kanesada!
[18:18] ---
    You are the greatest in all
    of Katana World, my lord.
[18:21] ---
    I pray for your victory.
[18:24] ---
    Kurogane!
[18:30] ---
    Gargantua Dragon...
[18:32] ---
    G.Evo, activate!
[18:35] ---
    Change!
[18:36] ---
    Gargantua Wind Demon Dragon!
[18:42] ---
    Gargantua Wind Demon Dragon!
[18:44] ---
    Here and ready to fight!
[18:48] ---
    It's Garga as a ninja!
    Isn't he the coolest?
[18:52] ---
    I am a ninja.
[18:53] ---
    The Deity of Ninja.
[18:55] ---
    Nin!
[18:56] ---
    You're a ninja too?
[18:58] ---
    Garga's change completes
    the Dragon Ninja Troopers!
[19:02] ---
    Upon my honor as a samurai, I cannot
    afford to lose to ninja, forsooth!
[19:08] ---
    Garga! Nincat! Do a link attack!
[19:11] ---
    Let's do this, Nincat!
[19:13] ---
    All right, cat! Nin!
[19:17] ---
    Have you forgotten that I have this?
[19:19] ---
    I cast! Pinnacle of Iai, Godspeed!
[19:22] ---
    You fell for it! Gargantua Wind Demon
    Dragon, activate Replicate!
[19:26] ---
    Behold! My ninja art!
[19:33] ---
    What?
[19:36] ---
    Huh? Garga disappeared!
[19:38] ---
    Where could he have gone?
[19:41] ---
    There he is!
[19:43] ---
    Nin nin nin nin nin nin!
[19:46] ---
    A Garga here...
[19:48] ---
    A Garga there...
[19:49] ---
    Garga, Garga, Garga.
[19:51] ---
    Garga all over the place, forsooth!
[19:54] ---
    Pinnacle of Iai, Godspeed
    has been defeated!
[19:57] ---
    Now's our chance!
[20:03] ---
    I'm not finished yet. I counterattack with
    Excelblade Godslash, KANESADA!
[20:10] ---
    I cast Clear Serenity!
[20:12] ---
    I gain 3 gauge.
[20:15] ---
    Final Phase!
[20:17] ---
    It can't be... can it?
[20:19] ---
    That's right! This is the Katana World
    version of Deity Gargantua Punisher!
[20:40] ---
    Impact! Deity Gargantua Punisher!
[20:54] ---
    Game End! Yuga Mikado is the victor!
[20:58] ---
    Winner: me!
[21:00] ---
    All right!
[21:02] ---
    The ninja defeated the samurai!
[21:03] ---
    Amazing!
[21:04] ---
    They don't call him the Ace of Games
    for nothing. Applause, applause.
[21:12] ---
    I have been completely defeated.
[21:13] ---
    I concede, forsooth.
[21:15] ---
    I don't know about that.
[21:17] ---
    That match was so close,
    either one of us could have won it.
[21:21] ---
    There's one thing I'd like to ask you.
[21:24] ---
    When I ended my turn
    without attacking you...
[21:28] ---
    Did you have any defense
    spells in your hand?
[21:40] ---
    He had no defense spells whatsoever!
[21:43] ---
    What? You didn't?
[21:47] ---
    No wonder they call you
    the Ace of Games, forsooth.
[21:49] ---
    I underestimated you.
[21:51] ---
    I would like to cross blades
    with you again someday.
[21:54] ---
    I hope that you will accept.
[21:56] ---
    Very well. I accept.
[21:59] ---
    The Shop Preliminaries have just begun.
[22:02] ---
    Garga, we're going to do our best!
[22:04] ---
    You can rely on me! Nin, nin.
[22:13] ---
    Ran! Ran! Ga-woo!
[22:17] ---
    Hey, fans! Once again, the two of us
    will introduce some special cards!
[22:21] ---
    The card we're introducing
    today is this one!
[22:24] ---
    Gargantua Wind Demon Dragon!
[22:27] ---
    This is Garga in his Katana World form.
[22:29] ---
    He has the abilities Double Attack and
    Soulguard, as well as Replicate.
[22:34] ---
    This ability calls a size 0 Dragod monster with 6000
    power and defense, and has a critical of 2.
[22:41] ---
    You simply need to place the top card in your
    deck face down on to the field to call it.
[22:44] ---
    If the soul card has G.Evo, you can
    create up to two body doubles.
[22:48] ---
    Use G.Evo to change Gargantua Dragon
    into the Wind Demon form,
[22:52] ---
    then use Replicate to
    deal out a series of attacks.
[22:55] ---
    Your victory will be close at hand!
[22:58] ---
    What did you think of today's card?
[23:00] ---
    I hope you'll all use this card to
    build the most powerful deck ever!
[23:03] ---
    Now then...
[23:04] ---
    We're off to work on our next video,
    so don't forget to... Check us out!
