[00:01] ---
    Batzz!
[00:03] ---
    Hurry up and get me
    back to normal, please!
[00:07] ---
    What are we supposed to do?
[00:08] ---
    This is bad!
    I'm seriously going to die!
[00:10] ---
    Gao is totally panicking.
[00:13] ---
    Calm down, kid.
[00:15] ---
    I don't have any time left!
[00:17] ---
    Do you understand that?
[00:19] ---
    I understand!
[00:20] ---
    Is he going to be okay?
[00:22] ---
    There's been no change
    to his physical state.
[00:24] ---
    What's his Miracle Life
    count right now?
[00:26] ---
    The thing is...
[00:30] ---
    It's still at zero.
[00:32] ---
    That's really bad!
[00:34] ---
    If I recall correctly,
    that old man said...
[00:37] ---
    Whoa! This is
    a real bad situation!
[00:40] ---
    Looks like he's been sealed away by
    the Demon Lord Dragon's power.
[00:43] ---
    What did you just say?
[00:46] ---
    His Miracle Life is down to 0!
[00:48] ---
    If it doesn't go back to 10 within three days,
    he might not be able to return to his body.
[00:53] ---
    Three days?
[00:55] ---
    If the dragon that sealed him away can grow closer
    to humans, he'd go back to normal in a flash. But...
[01:01] ---
    Within three days...
[01:03] ---
    Today is the third day!
[01:04] ---
    If Gao's Miracle Life doesn't
    reach 10 by the end of the day...
[01:08] ---
    Gao may not be able to return to normal!
[02:43] ---
    Batzz! Quickly, you have to do
    something that helps others!
[02:46] ---
    Or else I'm really going to die...
[02:49] ---
    Gao!
[02:50] ---
    What's wrong?
[02:51] ---
    This is bad! The dragonification
    is starting to progress!
[02:54] ---
    Did something just happen to Gao?
[02:56] ---
    Dear Gao!
[02:57] ---
    Sorry. I just felt the
    strength drain out of me.
[03:00] ---
    But I'm okay now.
[03:02] ---
    I think he's looking a
    little more transparent...
[03:05] ---
    Kid...
[03:06] ---
    Huh?
[03:07] ---
    Are you serious?
[03:07] ---
    More transparent? You don't think he's
    going to vanish into thin air, do you?
[03:11] ---
    No, he mustn't! Gao is going
    to come back to me, for sure!
[03:14] ---
    She's right, Kuguru!
[03:15] ---
    As I feared, we have to
    undo the dragonification...
[03:19] ---
    What are you standing around for, Batzz?
[03:21] ---
    Huh?
[03:22] ---
    You have to increase his
    Miracle Life, and quick!
[03:24] ---
    I-I know that!
[03:26] ---
    We'll help too!
[03:28] ---
    Let's go, Batzz!
[03:35] ---
    Time Limit! The day
    that Gao stops existing!
[03:40] ---
    Listen up!
[03:40] ---
    Whatever you do,
    don't hit people with your lightning!
[03:43] ---
    Oh, and don't needlessly destroy things.
[03:45] ---
    All things that might decrease
    Miracle Life are off-limits!
[03:49] ---
    I know that!
[03:50] ---
    You're being annoying!
[03:51] ---
    Now we have to look for ways
    that you can help people.
[03:54] ---
    That's right!
[03:55] ---
    Please, whatever you do, hurry!
[03:58] ---
    Oh! Over there!
[04:00] ---
    Is it a robber?
[04:01] ---
    No, it's not!
    Over there!
[04:06] ---
    I'm sure that old lady needs help!
[04:08] ---
    It's your time to shine, Big Boss!
[04:10] ---
    He's right!
[04:11] ---
    Let's get some Miracle Life points!
[04:13] ---
    Easy enough!
[04:14] ---
    Just leave it to me.
[04:20] ---
    Oh! The Miracle Life has increased!
[04:22] ---
    And away we go!
[04:25] ---
    Oh my. That was so kind of you.
[04:29] ---
    Whoa! It's increased even more!
[04:32] ---
    Well, it's no trouble at all.
[04:34] ---
    Thank you so much...
[04:38] ---
    Got 'em!
[04:39] ---
    Oh, how impressive!
[04:43] ---
    Hey, hey, hey!
[04:44] ---
    Get out of the way!
[04:46] ---
    Express packages coming through!
[04:49] ---
    This is bad!
[04:51] ---
    You're annoying me!
[04:54] ---
    Why would you do that?
[04:56] ---
    Oh no!
[05:02] ---
    The Miracle Life points
    are at minus 10 now!
[05:04] ---
    Batzz...
[05:05] ---
    What?
[05:06] ---
    Oh no, Gao's done for!
[05:08] ---
    Batzz! We told you over and
    over again! How could you?
[05:14] ---
    What's this?
    What's happening?
[05:17] ---
    Oh no! Gao's about to disappear!
[05:19] ---
    Just as we thought...
    something's happening to Gao, isn't it?
[05:22] ---
    If this continues, it'll be a disaster!
    Let's head back for now.
[05:29] ---
    What the heck is this?
[05:33] ---
    It's gotten worse than before.
[05:34] ---
    Is Gao okay?
[05:37] ---
    The dragonification is
    progressing at an abnormal rate.
[05:41] ---
    It seems to be synchronized to
    Gao's spiritual form fading.
[05:45] ---
    What does that mean?
[05:47] ---
    Perhaps his final moments
    are drawing near.
[05:50] ---
    Are you serious, Senior Tasuku?
[05:52] ---
    What should we do?
[05:54] ---
    I'll take care of it somehow!
[05:56] ---
    I'm counting on you, Batzz!
[05:58] ---
    At the current rate of progression,
    his entire body will be dragonified by sunset today.
[06:03] ---
    We met that old man around
    sunset three days ago, too.
[06:07] ---
    It's exactly as he said!
[06:08] ---
    I have to believe that he'll pull through.
    That my Gao will be back to normal soon!
[06:13] ---
    But the all-important Miracle Life...
[06:15] ---
    What's the likelihood of getting
    it to 10 within the time limit?
[06:18] ---
    That's what I'm trying
    to figure out right now!
[06:21] ---
    Dammit! Why did this have to happen?
[06:23] ---
    It's all right.
[06:25] ---
    Gao never gave up,
    no matter how bad things got.
[06:28] ---
    This time, too...
[06:33] ---
    What? Thunder Lance X
    Tempest Buster is missing?
[06:37] ---
    Yeah. It's the only card
    missing from the deck.
[06:40] ---
    That's the card that means
    the most to Gao and Batzz.
[06:43] ---
    That's right!
[06:45] ---
    It's their precious Impact card, and more importantly,
    the symbol of their Buddy partnership!
[06:49] ---
    Symbol of our Buddy partnership?
[06:51] ---
    Does anyone have any idea
    where he could have lost it...
[06:54] ---
    K-Kid!
[06:55] ---
    Oh! Gao's on the verge
    of disappearing for good!
[07:00] ---
    What did you say?
[07:01] ---
    Batzz... please.
[07:03] ---
    Find the X Tempest Buster... for me...
[07:06] ---
    I can't even see him anymore!
[07:09] ---
    N-No way!
[07:12] ---
    Kid!
[07:13] ---
    I'll fulfill your final wish.
[07:17] ---
    Wait! More importantly,
    you've got to increase his Miracle Life!
[07:20] ---
    Big Boss!
[07:22] ---
    You two!
[07:25] ---
    First, let's check Aibo Academy!
[07:28] ---
    Last night, Gao had a Buddyfight here.
[07:33] ---
    It's not here...
[07:35] ---
    Now that I think of it...
[07:37] ---
    When you first came to Aibo Academy,
    Big Boss, this is where you caused a big commotion!
[07:44] ---
    We'll protect the school!
[07:46] ---
    You're in my way!
[07:52] ---
    Hey, you there.
[07:54] ---
    You're inconveniencing everyone,
    so could you please get out of the way?
[08:00] ---
    I'm an inconvenience?
[08:01] ---
    Don't order me around!
[08:10] ---
    I won't forgive anyone who hurts Kanata!
[08:13] ---
    You sure talk a good game.
[08:16] ---
    Take this!
[08:23] ---
    Looks like the card's not around here.
[08:25] ---
    What are some other
    places that Gao might go?
[08:32] ---
    I think this is the card shop where Gao and
    Gaito Kurouzu had a Buddyfight...
[08:43] ---
    I cast.
[08:44] ---
    Black Dragon Shield.
[08:46] ---
    Double Attack!
[08:50] ---
    I cast!
[08:51] ---
    Midnight Shadow!
[08:54] ---
    Your paltry attacks
    have no effect on me.
[08:56] ---
    I don't know about that.
[08:58] ---
    I'll show you the Mighty Sun Fighter and
    Batzz's true potential. Go, Batzz!
[09:02] ---
    What?
[09:04] ---
    That's madness.
    A Triple Attack?
[09:09] ---
    Gaito!
[09:10] ---
    That's right!
[09:11] ---
    This is where Big Boss Batzz and Gao hit them
    with the Thunder Lance X Tempest Buster!
[09:16] ---
    Huh?
[09:17] ---
    Big Boss! Where did you go?
[09:22] ---
    That jerk Batzz...
[09:23] ---
    What is he going to do
    about Gao's Miracle Life?
[09:25] ---
    There's no time left!
[09:27] ---
    Well... finding the card
    will definitely help someone.
[09:31] ---
    It'll help Gao.
[09:33] ---
    All we can do is hope that
    it'll turn the tables.
[09:41] ---
    Big Boss! Where did you go?
[09:46] ---
    This is where the World
    Buddy Masters took place.
[09:51] ---
    Big Boss was determined to prove that
    he was the strongest in the world,
[09:55] ---
    so he participated in the tournament and
    won against the representatives of each world!
[09:58] ---
    To the right, I Buddy
    call my favorite Buddy!
[10:01] ---
    Fervent Demon Lord Teacher, Asmodai!
[10:05] ---
    And I return Dance!
    Asmodai to my hand cards, yo!
[10:07] ---
    He's finally here!
[10:09] ---
    The Fervent Teacher version of
    Demon Lord, Asmodai enters the stage!
[10:12] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting,
    little Demon Lord Dragon.
[10:15] ---
    When I appear, I can
    destroy one enemy monster.
[10:22] ---
    Chibi Panda!
[10:24] ---
    You phony Demon Lord!
[10:27] ---
    Hey, you there!
    Don't get up in the middle of a test!
[10:30] ---
    Teacher's going to give you
    a Body Press of Rage!
[10:35] ---
    Dammit. He's making a fool of me!
[10:39] ---
    Ku Teito, arriving at my station to serve as
    Koyomi-Class Fifth Fleet, Satsuki's Admiral!
[10:44] ---
    Acknowledging the
    Admiral's Station declaration.
[10:46] ---
    Satsuki, launching!
[10:52] ---
    Koyomi-Class Fifth Fleet, Satsuki has
    12000 power, 5000 defense, and a critical of 3.
[10:58] ---
    And just like Transform or Ride,
    this monster can be equipped like an Item!
[11:03] ---
    Station!
[11:05] ---
    An Item?
[11:07] ---
    Then we just need to crush them,
    fighter and all.
[11:09] ---
    Now the Admiral and I
    are united in body and soul.
[11:12] ---
    I will protect my Admiral
    no matter what!
[11:15] ---
    Satsuki and I are just getting started!
[11:17] ---
    Satsuki can load Crew Troopers
    from the drop zone.
[11:21] ---
    And she can make them launch, indeed!
[11:23] ---
    I call Quinq Lada,
    Cloaking Frame to the left!
[11:27] ---
    Due to the effect,
    my gauge increases by 1!
[11:30] ---
    Satsuki's ability, activate!
[11:33] ---
    If I pay 1 gauge, she can launch the Crew Troopers
    that she brought on board, indeed!
[11:37] ---
    Quinq Lada, Swift Mobile Frame,
    launch from the right!
[11:43] ---
    Swift Mobile Frame's ability, activate!
[11:45] ---
    Destroy Replenisher, Pentar!
[11:48] ---
    That hurts, pen!
[11:50] ---
    Pentar!
[11:51] ---
    Cloaking Frame! Swift Mobile Frame!
    Attack the fighter!
[11:55] ---
    Roger that.
[11:56] ---
    Commencing attack.
[12:02] ---
    Satsuki! Attack the fighter, indeed!
[12:05] ---
    Roger that.
[12:06] ---
    Commencing attack.
[12:09] ---
    I cast! Green Dragon Shield!
[12:13] ---
    We're not done yet. I'm next!
[12:16] ---
    I cast! Blue Dragon Shield!
[12:19] ---
    Gao Mikado uses a defense spell to nullify
    the attack and increase his gauge by 1!
[12:23] ---
    It's no use. You're going
    to suffer a humiliating defeat.
[12:25] ---
    What?
[12:26] ---
    You have no other options!
[12:29] ---
    I cast! Optics Operation,
    Shrouded Strawcoat!
[12:31] ---
    This spell can reduce damage by 2...
[12:33] ---
    But it has a different effect as well!
[12:36] ---
    I can take a soul card from my field...
[12:39] ---
    And place it in the drop zone to
    increase my gauge by 1!
[12:52] ---
    Buddy call to the center!
[12:55] ---
    Oni Boss, Kid Ibuki!
[12:58] ---
    I'll crush you!
[13:02] ---
    Due to Kid Ibuki's effect,
    Delta is destroyed!
[13:05] ---
    And you'll take damage
    equal to Delta's size!
[13:07] ---
    Is this the end?
[13:10] ---
    Take this!
[13:12] ---
    Don't hold back, Kid Ibuki.
[13:14] ---
    Let's see a real bloodbath.
[13:16] ---
    Leave it to me.
[13:18] ---
    Beat him to a pulp!
[13:21] ---
    I cast! Arc Dragon Shield!
[13:23] ---
    Once again, he blocks the attack
    with a defense spell! However!
[13:27] ---
    Kid Ibuki has Double Attack!
[13:29] ---
    He can attack one more time!
[13:33] ---
    Unless I draw a Dragon Shield using
    Arc Dragon Shield's effect, I can't win this fight!
[13:38] ---
    Come on!
[13:39] ---
    I draw one card!
[13:43] ---
    Get him, Kid Ibuki!
[13:45] ---
    Double Attack on the fighter!
[13:51] ---
    I cast!
[13:52] ---
    White Dragon Shield!
[13:55] ---
    I call Quintessence Crystal Dragon,
    Athora to the center!
[13:58] ---
    U-U-Unbelievable!
[14:01] ---
    The card that Kanata Ozora drew
    was Quintessence Crystal Dragon, Athora!
[14:07] ---
    Kanata Ozora's Buddy monster.
[14:09] ---
    During this final battle, he has
    manifested once more in the center!
[14:12] ---
    Gao Mikado has
    only one card in his hand.
[14:15] ---
    Is this the end of this chapter?
[14:17] ---
    Rizzling, attack the fighter!
[14:19] ---
    I'll land the finishing blow!
[14:21] ---
    Eden Valley!
[14:23] ---
    I cast!
[14:24] ---
    Arc Dragon Shield!
[14:26] ---
    Gao Mikado defends!
    The attack is nullified!
[14:28] ---
    It's fine that he defended, but...
[14:30] ---
    He's already used up his hand cards!
[14:33] ---
    Athora still has his Double Attack!
[14:36] ---
    No, he's not done yet!
[14:38] ---
    Arc Dragon Shield's effect
    lets him draw one card!
[14:40] ---
    I'm counting on you...
[14:42] ---
    I draw one card!
[14:43] ---
    Athora, attack the fighter!
[14:47] ---
    I'll be the one to bring
    victory to Kanata.
[14:49] ---
    Batzz! You're not capable
    of protecting Gao!
[14:52] ---
    Kid! This better not be the end!
[14:55] ---
    Yeah. Batzz, I won't give up,
    no matter what!
[14:59] ---
    I cast!
[15:00] ---
    Arc Dragon Shield!
[15:02] ---
    This is unbelievable! The hand card that
    Gao gained due to the card's effect...
[15:06] ---
    Was another Arc Dragon Shield!
[15:10] ---
    That's Gao for you.
    He won't let us win so easily.
[15:14] ---
    You're really amazing.
[15:15] ---
    You truly are the greatest Buddyfighter!
[15:20] ---
    But Gao! Athora and I are
    the ones who will win!
[15:23] ---
    Athora, Double Attack!
[15:25] ---
    Right! Here we go, Kanata!
[15:27] ---
    Gao Mikado draws one card due
    to Arc Dragon Shield's effect.
[15:31] ---
    Truly, his destiny depends on this card!
[15:34] ---
    What card has been added to his hand?
[15:36] ---
    Gao!
[15:38] ---
    We win!
[15:39] ---
    Kanata.
[15:41] ---
    We're all connected through our decks.
[15:45] ---
    That's why our decks
    will always respond to our will.
[15:49] ---
    I cast! Dragon Shield!
[15:52] ---
    Green Dragon Shield!
[15:55] ---
    Wh-Wh-What a twist!
[15:57] ---
    Three times in a row, he's used
    a Dragon Shield from his handcards!
[16:00] ---
    It's truly unbelievable!
[16:04] ---
    Kanata.
[16:05] ---
    I guess this is it, Athora.
[16:08] ---
    Gao, this was
    a good Buddyfight.
[16:11] ---
    Kanata...
[16:13] ---
    I gave it my all,
    and fought to the end.
[16:16] ---
    My turn is now over.
[16:22] ---
    But there's no way the
    X Tempest Buster would be here.
[16:26] ---
    Big Boss!
[16:34] ---
    Kid...
[16:36] ---
    Will this finally put an end
    to the long and raging battle?
[16:40] ---
    Gao Mikado has
    declared Final Phase!
[16:42] ---
    Takochu!
[16:43] ---
    I'll use this to finish you off!
[16:45] ---
    Kid!
[16:47] ---
    Take my rage...
[16:49] ---
    Take my power!
[16:51] ---
    Accept all of it!
[17:15] ---
    I cast!
[17:25] ---
    Impact!
[17:30] ---
    Thunder Lance!
[17:31] ---
    I cast.
[17:33] ---
    A Selfish Purification.
[17:37] ---
    X Tempest!
[17:39] ---
    Buster!
[17:42] ---
    A Selfish Purification allows me to return 3 cards from the
    drop zone to the bottom of my deck, in order to regain 3 life!
[17:54] ---
    Fools like yourselves cannot defeat me.
[17:58] ---
    We're going to defeat you no matter what!
[18:05] ---
    Something's happening to Gao!
[18:07] ---
    What's wrong with him?
[18:09] ---
    When he uses X Tempest Buster,
    Gao becomes one in body and soul with Batzz.
[18:14] ---
    However...
[18:15] ---
    Batzz's power is overwhelming him!
    If they stay united like that...
[18:19] ---
    Gao's body won't be able to hold
    up to the strain! Am I right?
[18:23] ---
    Kid! Keep it together!
[18:25] ---
    Kid!
[18:26] ---
    Demon Lord Dragon. The force that is
    devastating Gao Mikado's body is your own power.
[18:34] ---
    Gao Mikado's body is being
    corroded by your power.
[18:39] ---
    At this point, nobody can stop this.
[18:47] ---
    There's no need for me
    to even land a finishing blow.
[18:50] ---
    I am victorious.
[18:53] ---
    Big Boss!
[18:55] ---
    I finally found you!
[18:57] ---
    Big Boss?
[19:00] ---
    Because of me, the kid is...
[19:03] ---
    Big Boss...
[19:04] ---
    No matter what it takes!
[19:05] ---
    I'm going to find the X Tempest Buster!
[19:08] ---
    Hey! If this is how it's going to be,
    then I'm with you until the end!
[19:15] ---
    Where is it?
[19:16] ---
    It's not here!
[19:17] ---
    X Tempest Buster!
[19:18] ---
    Where are you?
[19:19] ---
    Where is it?
[19:22] ---
    The sun's already setting!
[19:24] ---
    And we still haven't heard anything
    from Batzz and Chibi Panda.
[19:27] ---
    What are we going to do?
[19:28] ---
    Is Gao going to be stuck like this?
[19:31] ---
    We have to believe.
[19:32] ---
    Until the very last moment.
[19:37] ---
    There's no point in searching
    this place, it's not here!
[19:39] ---
    Maybe somebody stole it!
[19:41] ---
    But there's no time!
[19:43] ---
    It's no use!
[19:44] ---
    Gao will never go back to normal.
[19:47] ---
    Don't give up!
[19:50] ---
    All right, I'm going to use...
[19:59] ---
    That card's the Thunder Lance
    X Tempest Buster!
[20:02] ---
    What?
[20:03] ---
    Hey! That card!
[20:08] ---
    Y-You mustn't, Big Boss!
[20:10] ---
    If you do anything rough here, Gao will...
[20:23] ---
    That card belongs to the kid...
    to my Buddy! It's important to him!
[20:28] ---
    If he doesn't have that card...
[20:30] ---
    Please! Give it back to us!
[20:32] ---
    I'm begging you.
[20:33] ---
    Big Boss...
[20:39] ---
    Oh, is that so?
[20:41] ---
    Here you go!
[20:48] ---
    Big Boss! We did it!
[20:53] ---
    I sent the message.
[20:56] ---
    Is that so.
[20:57] ---
    But the sun set ages ago.
[21:00] ---
    By now, Gao must be...
[21:02] ---
    Hey!
[21:04] ---
    Now he's come back as a real ghost!
[21:06] ---
    Hey! Batzz!
[21:08] ---
    You did it!
    Check me out!
[21:10] ---
    I'm totally fine now!
[21:12] ---
    What?
[21:13] ---
    Kid!
[21:16] ---
    I see. So the very moment that
    Batzz got the X Tempest Buster card back...
[21:21] ---
    Gao's Miracle Life must have hit 10!
[21:24] ---
    We turned the tables for
    a comeback victory!
[21:27] ---
    As you can see, it looks like he's
    made a complete physical recovery.
[21:30] ---
    Yeah. Thanks, all of you!
[21:32] ---
    Batzz, I don't know what to say.
[21:35] ---
    We're going to make those...
    those monsters pay for what they've done!
[21:40] ---
    You mean Wisdom.
[21:42] ---
    Yeah, I know.
[21:43] ---
    But I've got an incredible Buddy.
[21:49] ---
    I'm getting all fired up!
[21:58] ---
    We've received reports that Gao Mikado
    has made a complete recovery.
[22:01] ---
    When he and Batzz team up, they're powerful.
    It's going to be bad if you don't crush him quickly.
[22:06] ---
    Really? Is that true?
[22:08] ---
    After all, you're the only one
    who's lost to Gao Mikado twice.
[22:11] ---
    What did you just say?
[22:13] ---
    Stop that.
[22:14] ---
    Don't embarrass yourself in
    front of Master Wisdom.
[22:16] ---
    You will scatter and go
    to different worlds.
[22:19] ---
    There, you will capture powerful
    monsters and chaosify them.
[22:22] ---
    I see. We're going to
    make monsters into our weapons.
[22:26] ---
    We'll do the same to Barlbatzz Dragoroyale
    the First when we eventually capture him.
[22:31] ---
    And...
[22:34] ---
    I'll use the Chaos to upgrade the world!
[22:40] ---
    This is today's most powerful card!
[22:43] ---
    Chibi Panda!
[22:46] ---
    If you have a Thunder Empire item equipped,
    he can use the Move ability.
[22:50] ---
    Move him to the center to have him
    block your opponent's attacks.
[22:53] ---
    If you can link that to your next turn,
    you can use your Impact and really turn the tables!
[22:58] ---
    Now, today we're going to do
    Buddy Rock Paper Scissors again!
[23:00] ---
    Batzz, I'm counting on you!
[23:03] ---
    Buddy Rock Paper Scissors!
    Rock Paper Scissors...
[23:05] ---
    Go!
[23:07] ---
    And it's Scissors!
[24:40] ---
    I made a full recovery thanks to Batzz,
[24:41] ---
    so I decide to visit the old man who gave us
    advice on how to undo the dragonification.
[24:46] ---
    But he's not your average old man!
[24:48] ---
    Next episode: Nirvana? Gehenna?
