[00:00] ---
    My name is Abygale.
[00:02] ---
    This thing on my head is
    a dangerous Black Hole.
[00:05] ---
    Abygale, it's dinner time.
[00:06] ---
    This fish looks delicious!
[00:08] ---
    Thanks for the meal!
[00:10] ---
    Hey!
[00:10] ---
    I can't eat with this thing
    on my head! Argh!
[00:13] ---
    He can rip that up?
[00:15] ---
    The greatest Buddyfighter in the world!
[00:18] ---
    The WBC Cup Japan Representative
    Invitational Tournament is taking place here,
[00:23] ---
    at Cho-Taiyo Island, B!
[00:26] ---
    Cold!
[00:26] ---
    However, nobody realizes that a terrifying
    conspiracy is unfolding on the island.
[00:31] ---
    Not even me!
[00:35] ---
    What? You thought I knew
    the world of Buddyfight back to front?
[00:39] ---
    Ouch! Stop that! Stop them!
    Stop that! Stop them!
[00:42] ---
    Well, in any case,
    join me for a Buddy...
[00:45] ---
    Meowt!
[02:17] ---
    So this is Cho-Taiyo Island!
[02:19] ---
    And that must be the Cho-Taiyo Hotel that they
    built as a sort of Olympic Village for this tournament.
[02:25] ---
    Cho-Taiyo Island and
    Cho-Taiyo Hotel, huh!
[02:29] ---
    Everything here is sun-themed.
[02:31] ---
    What a warm reception
    for the Mighty Sun Fighter!
[02:35] ---
    Warm reception, bal!
[02:36] ---
    You're making me blush!
[02:38] ---
    Well then, everybody...
[02:39] ---
    Huh?
[02:40] ---
    I'm your official commentator
    and announcer, Paruko Nanana!
[02:42] ---
    I'll be heading to the starting
    line ahead of you all!
[02:46] ---
    Go, Takosuke!
[02:47] ---
    Takochu!
[02:49] ---
    Hey!
[02:50] ---
    Miss Paruko!
[02:52] ---
    I'm the official commentator and analyst,
    so don't leave me behind, B!
[02:58] ---
    Ow!
[02:59] ---
    Oh!
[03:00] ---
    Oh no.
[03:01] ---
    He broke.
[03:03] ---
    Let's head to the starting line too, Bal!
[03:05] ---
    Bal wants to fight as
    soon as possible, bal!
[03:09] ---
    Here it comes!
    WBC Cup Japan Tournament!
[03:14] ---
    Hana! It's starting!
[03:17] ---
    Okay!
[03:21] ---
    Finally! Finally! Finally!
[03:23] ---
    The WBC Cup Japan Representative
    Invitational Tournament is starting,
[03:27] ---
    with Cho-Taiyo Island as the stage!
[03:31] ---
    While the regional preliminaries were
    elimination-tournament style,
[03:34] ---
    the Japan Tournament is
    a Swiss-style system.
[03:37] ---
    The first 3 Buddyfighters
    to rack up 100 wins
[03:39] ---
    will earn the right to participate
    in the World Championship!
[03:46] ---
    And! These are the stages
    that you'll all be fighting in!
[03:49] ---
    The UFO Stages!
[03:51] ---
    That's where you'll be fighting those
    red-hot Buddyfight battles!
[03:54] ---
    Of course, to prevent people from fighting
    the same person twice in a row,
[03:58] ---
    the loser will be randomly fired at different
    locations on Cho-Taiyo Island!
[04:04] ---
    To get things started, we'll gather all
    the Buddyfighters in the UFO Stages!
[04:08] ---
    Wait a minute!
[04:09] ---
    What does gather mean, bal?
[04:15] ---
    Gao! Bal!
    Good luck out there!
[04:18] ---
    We'll be cheering you on
    from the Cho-Taiyo Hotel!
[04:21] ---
    Gathering completed!
[04:23] ---
    Buddyfighters, are you ready?
[04:27] ---
    Five seconds to launch!
[04:29] ---
    Four!
[04:30] ---
    Three!
[04:31] ---
    Two!
[04:32] ---
    One!
[04:33] ---
    Fire!
[04:39] ---
    But if we fall from this height...
[04:41] ---
    What will happen to us, bal?
[04:45] ---
    Whoa!
[04:52] ---
    From the moment you land,
    this tournament begins!
[04:56] ---
    You'll rely on the pre-installed
    Cho-Taiyo Island Nav system
[04:59] ---
    to find your opponents
    and move about the island!
[05:04] ---
    You'll fight the first Buddyfighter
    that you encounter!
[05:08] ---
    The moment two Buddyfighters meet,
[05:10] ---
    the Paruko App will activate,
    and the lock will initiate.
[05:13] ---
    That lock will be in effect
    until you finish the Buddyfight,
[05:15] ---
    and you won't be able
    to start a new one.
[05:20] ---
    What's this?
[05:24] ---
    Oh! Looks like I've got
    a Paru-call already!
[05:27] ---
    Warp!
[05:30] ---
    Warp successful!
[05:31] ---
    In addition to being the official
    commentator and announcer,
[05:34] ---
    I'm in charge of
    arranging the stage!
[05:37] ---
    Let's go to the UFO Stage!
[05:39] ---
    Open!
[05:54] ---
    These UFO Stages have been created to let you
    Buddyfighters fight battles that are hotter than hot!
[06:02] ---
    Only the fighter who wins in this
    stage will receive a winning star!
[06:07] ---
    In other words, any Buddyfight taking place outside
    of this stage will not count as a victory. And!
[06:12] ---
    The Buddyfighter who loses will be fired
    out of this UFO Stage once more!
[06:18] ---
    Looks like a festival is about to begin!
[06:20] ---
    Now!
[06:21] ---
    Chief's!
[06:22] ---
    Buddyfight!
[06:23] ---
    Is about to begin, turtle!
[06:28] ---
    I'm getting Paru-calls
    from all over the place!
[06:31] ---
    Warp!
[06:37] ---
    This is bad.
[06:38] ---
    So many already!
[06:39] ---
    Bal and Gao should
    fight soon too, bal!
[06:42] ---
    Revolted!
[06:43] ---
    Finish him!
[06:44] ---
    Stout Wrist Martial Arts Deity Strike!
[06:51] ---
    What a big catch!
[06:53] ---
    Whoa! A Buddyfighter has
    already won a winning star!
[06:57] ---
    But you can't relax just
    because you've won!
[07:00] ---
    In this tournament, it's vital to
    be the first to score 100 wins!
[07:03] ---
    On to the next one!
[07:04] ---
    Even if you lose the Buddyfight, you can
    face a new opponent in a new location!
[07:10] ---
    Now I'd like to introduce some
    Buddyfighters to keep an eye on!
[07:13] ---
    My special sword attack!
    You shall feel its true power soon enough!
[07:18] ---
    A warrior from ancient times who has
    wandered into our modern world!
[07:21] ---
    Cho-Okayama Representative,
    Tenka Gotsurugi!
[07:25] ---
    Ready? I'll take you all the way to...
[07:30] ---
    Pa!
[07:32] ---
    Ra!
[07:33] ---
    Dise!
[07:36] ---
    A selfie-snapping visual
    glam Buddyfighter!
[07:39] ---
    Cho-Nagoya Representative,
    Ageha Gokuraku!
[07:43] ---
    My faithful servants.
[07:46] ---
    I summon you from
    the depths of perdition!
[07:49] ---
    A stylish Buddyfighter who's
    really into his theme!
[07:52] ---
    Cho-Osaka Representative,
    Shura Gokumon!
[07:58] ---
    It looks like powerful fighters from all
    over Japan have gathered on this island.
[08:01] ---
    That's right.
[08:02] ---
    Any one of them could
    easily rack up 100 wins.
[08:07] ---
    And look who's here!
[08:08] ---
    I Buddy call to the right!
[08:11] ---
    Tyrant Cerberus!
[08:15] ---
    Cerberus?
[08:16] ---
    Gao, hurry up and find a fighter, bal!
[08:18] ---
    It can't be!
[08:19] ---
    Bal?
[08:20] ---
    Tyrant Cerberus!
[08:21] ---
    Finish the fighter off!
[08:23] ---
    I'll devour anyone who gets in our way!
[08:26] ---
    Tyrant Bite!
[08:30] ---
    I heard that this was
    the Japan Tournament,
[08:33] ---
    so I thought I'd be able to fight
    opponents with some mettle.
[08:36] ---
    They'd better not all be this weak.
[08:41] ---
    Just as I thought!
    It's Senior Aragami!
[08:43] ---
    Is he a friend of Gao's, bal?
[08:45] ---
    Yeah! He's my pal!
    Senior Rouga Aragami!
[08:48] ---
    When it comes to Danger World,
    he has no equal!
[08:53] ---
    That's how amazing he is!
[08:56] ---
    I cast! Super Strength Replenishment!
[09:02] ---
    What are you trying to do?
[09:04] ---
    Final phase.
[09:06] ---
    I cast!
[09:08] ---
    True Ultimate Battle Skill,
    GIGA Demon Slay!
[09:15] ---
    With this, Asura Demon Slay
    can attack twice, and gains an extra critical!
[09:21] ---
    Come to your senses!
[09:22] ---
    Eighth Omni Deity Lord, Grangadez!
[09:28] ---
    It can't be! In one turn, he's destroyed
    Grangadez and his four-card soul!
[09:32] ---
    Penetrate!
[09:36] ---
    That was magnificent, Rouga.
[09:43] ---
    He's that strong?
[09:45] ---
    Yeah!
[09:46] ---
    He's incredibly strong!
[09:48] ---
    He's here!
    It's Master Tasuku!
[09:52] ---
    Full Liberate Cannon!
[09:54] ---
    Shoot!
[10:03] ---
    He missed out on winning the Cho-Tokyo Championship,
    but he's as strong and manly as ever!
[10:09] ---
    Jack and Tasuku won, bal!
[10:11] ---
    Yeah!
[10:12] ---
    Let's hurry up and win too!
[10:13] ---
    Speaking of people who missed out
    on winning the Cho-Tokyo Championship,
[10:16] ---
    let's not forget him!
[10:18] ---
    Now, surrender yourself to destiny!
[10:22] ---
    Unlimited Death Drain!
[10:29] ---
    A fighter with unseen depths
    of power, Gaito Kurouzu!
[10:33] ---
    Gaito...
[10:35] ---
    Gao! Bal and Gao can't
    sit back and lose, bal!
[10:37] ---
    Bal and Gao will be the first
    to reach 100 wins, bal!
[10:40] ---
    You're right.
[10:41] ---
    Let's be the first past the gate!
[10:43] ---
    First past the gate, bal!
[10:45] ---
    Bal!
[10:46] ---
    Bal bal bal!
[10:47] ---
    Bal! Wait for me!
[10:51] ---
    So this is the one who
    creates Impact Monsters.
[10:53] ---
    Dragon of the Sun, Bal Dragon.
[10:57] ---
    And he's a new type of Sun Dragon, too.
[11:01] ---
    Interesting.
[11:02] ---
    I'll capture him and
    feed him to Zodiac.
[11:09] ---
    Bal!
[11:11] ---
    Bal!
[11:13] ---
    Where are you?
[11:15] ---
    Bal!
[11:17] ---
    This way, bal!
[11:19] ---
    Bal.
[11:20] ---
    We don't have time to
    play hide-and-seek.
[11:25] ---
    Bal, come out already.
[11:27] ---
    This way, bal.
[11:29] ---
    This is too easy.
[11:31] ---
    Now...
[11:33] ---
    Gao!
[11:34] ---
    Where are you, bal?
[11:39] ---
    Bal is lost, bal.
[11:42] ---
    Bal!
[11:44] ---
    Oh! That's Gao's voice, bal.
[11:47] ---
    Gao!
[11:49] ---
    Bal!
[11:53] ---
    All right. Get behind him.
[11:59] ---
    Ouch! Hot, hot, hot!
[12:01] ---
    Hot! Hot!
[12:03] ---
    Oh no, bal!
[12:04] ---
    So hot!
[12:07] ---
    Sorry, bal. Are you all right, bal?
[12:09] ---
    I thought I was gonna die.
[12:12] ---
    Oh wait, I'm already dead!
[12:14] ---
    Please, bal.
[12:15] ---
    Bal wants you to help look for Gao, bal.
[12:18] ---
    Bal can hear his voice
    but just can't find him, bal.
[12:21] ---
    Leave it to me!
[12:23] ---
    However, I'm actually...
[12:25] ---
    Meow!
[12:26] ---
    Then Bal can't leave it to you, bal!
[12:28] ---
    Oh! At times like this...
[12:31] ---
    Weathervane Dragon!
[12:34] ---
    If we use this, we can figure
    out where Gao is, bal!
[12:37] ---
    Oh! And I can get back
    to Cho-Taiyo Hotel, B!
[12:41] ---
    -You're so troublesome!
    -Thank you!
[12:42] ---
    What's with that zombie?
[12:44] ---
    He's getting in my way!
[12:47] ---
    I guess I'll keep a long
    leash on them for now.
[12:50] ---
    Withdraw for the moment.
[12:53] ---
    Gao is that way, bal.
[12:55] ---
    Let's go!
[12:58] ---
    Gao!
[13:01] ---
    Bal!
[13:02] ---
    Gao!
[13:05] ---
    Gao!
[13:08] ---
    Ow...
[13:09] ---
    Oh.
[13:09] ---
    Gao, Ozon B can't get back to
    the Cho-Taiyo Hotel. He needs our help, bal.
[13:14] ---
    Fine, I guess we'll walk
    him back to the hotel.
[13:19] ---
    There's a Buddyfighter nearby.
[13:24] ---
    Finally, we can fight!
[13:25] ---
    Bal!
[13:28] ---
    Penetrate, bal!
[13:32] ---
    Sun Fist!
[13:34] ---
    Balknuckle!
[13:38] ---
    We'll finish this
    in one go, bal!
[13:40] ---
    Final Phase!
[13:43] ---
    Impact Call!
[13:45] ---
    I pay 3 gauge and
    transform Bal Dragon...
[13:47] ---
    Into an Impact Monster!
[13:52] ---
    Bal will try his super-best, bal!
[13:58] ---
    What?
[14:00] ---
    Bal!
[14:03] ---
    Great Full!
[14:05] ---
    Bal!
[14:06] ---
    Lariat!
[14:14] ---
    All right!
    Thank you very much!
[14:17] ---
    Bal and Gao won, bal!
[14:23] ---
    Now, let's get Ozon B back to the hotel,
    so we can look for our next opponent!
[14:27] ---
    Bal understands, bal!
[14:28] ---
    Sorry to be so much trouble, B!
[14:32] ---
    Really, I'm sorry.
[14:34] ---
    Buddyfights have finished for the day!
[14:38] ---
    We're currently tabulating the number
    of wins by you, the Buddyfighters!
[14:42] ---
    The Buddyfighter who scored
    the greatest number of wins today was...
[14:44] ---
    Gaito Kurouzu!
[14:46] ---
    His buddy is Black Death Dragon, Abygale.
[14:48] ---
    An amazing 32 wins!
[14:51] ---
    In second place,
    we have Tasuku Ryuenji!
[14:54] ---
    His Buddy is
    Star Dragoner, Jackknife.
[14:56] ---
    25 wins!
[14:57] ---
    What about Gao and Bal?
[14:59] ---
    What?
[15:00] ---
    Fighters who don't score enough wins that
    day aren't allowed to stay in the hotel?
[15:05] ---
    That's right.
[15:06] ---
    How many wins do we need, bal?
[15:08] ---
    10 wins.
[15:10] ---
    Then...
[15:11] ---
    Since Bal and Gao only have 6 wins...
[15:13] ---
    We have quarters prepared for you too.
[15:20] ---
    Why do I have to camp out too?
[15:23] ---
    We have a rule that guests
    must stay with the Buddyfighters.
[15:27] ---
    But that traitor Kuguru...
[15:30] ---
    Sorry! I asked my dad to reserve
    a room at the hotel for me.
[15:35] ---
    I mean, I'm a girl and all.
[15:42] ---
    Gao! There you are!
[15:44] ---
    Huh?
[15:44] ---
    The fancy meals at
    the hotel aren't my style!
[15:48] ---
    Here's a freshly-caught tuna!
[15:51] ---
    Do you want to eat it with us?
[15:53] ---
    We'll eat it!
[15:55] ---
    Wow! Looks good!
[15:56] ---
    It's a tuna-butchering festival!
[15:58] ---
    Butchering, hooray!
[16:00] ---
    Now, eat up!
[16:02] ---
    That tuna's not going anywhere!
[16:04] ---
    Eat and eat until you're stuffed!
[16:06] ---
    So huge!
[16:07] ---
    Bal, don't hog it all!
[16:25] ---
    That's far enough.
[16:28] ---
    I know that you've
    been stalking Bal all day.
[16:32] ---
    Come out, Doctor Gara!
[16:35] ---
    Show yourself!
[16:38] ---
    So you see all and know all, eh?
[16:41] ---
    Retreat.
[16:45] ---
    Tasuku Ryuenji. I thought you
    quit being a Buddy Police officer.
[16:50] ---
    I see.
[16:52] ---
    So you've been guarding
    that Sun Dragon all this time.
[16:55] ---
    What does a wanted criminal
    like you plan to do with Bal?
[16:59] ---
    If you want to find out, try beating
    me up with an Impact Monster.
[17:03] ---
    I'll tell you everything you want to hear.
[17:08] ---
    Looks like we have no choice.
[17:09] ---
    Yeah.
[17:21] ---
    Shine forth! Future dragons clad in stars!
[17:24] ---
    Luminize, Cross Dragoner!
[17:27] ---
    Kneel planetary scrap!
[17:29] ---
    Be erased beyond dimensions!
[17:32] ---
    Luminize!
[17:33] ---
    Cosmo Elimination!
[17:35] ---
    Raise the flag!
[17:38] ---
    Star Dragon World!
[17:40] ---
    Star Dragon World!
[17:47] ---
    Eliminator Discarnea!
[17:49] ---
    Attack the fighter!
[17:55] ---
    My turn is over.
[17:57] ---
    My turn!
[17:59] ---
    Draw!
[18:00] ---
    Charge and draw!
[18:02] ---
    I call Sphere Cemetery,
    Star Remnant to the left!
[18:07] ---
    I Buddy call Star Dragoner,
    Jackknife to the right!
[18:10] ---
    All right!
[18:13] ---
    Electromagnetic pulse,
    charging complete!
[18:15] ---
    I activate Jack's ability!
[18:17] ---
    Crossnize with Jackarms J Igniter!
[18:22] ---
    Ignite Blade!
[18:25] ---
    I call V Gradation,
    Quantum Ruler to the center!
[18:29] ---
    I've been waiting for this!
    Now, let's battle already!
[18:31] ---
    Using Quantum Ruler's ability,
    I increase my gauge and draw 1 card!
[18:35] ---
    Star Remnant!
    Attack the center.
[18:39] ---
    Sparkle Shoot!
[18:41] ---
    Maximum Output!
[18:45] ---
    Quantum Ruler!
    Jack! Attack the fighter!
[18:49] ---
    Stardust Claw!
[18:53] ---
    With a critical of 4!
[18:55] ---
    Ignite Blade!
[18:59] ---
    My turn is over.
[19:00] ---
    You're not bad.
[19:03] ---
    Then I'll show you.
[19:06] ---
    I pay 2 gauge and
    Buddy call to the right!
[19:09] ---
    Star Deity Dragon, Zodiac!
[19:13] ---
    What is that monster?
[19:15] ---
    I can't feel its life force!
[19:18] ---
    What?
[19:19] ---
    Of course.
[19:21] ---
    I created it, after all.
[19:23] ---
    What?
[19:24] ---
    That's enough idle chatter.
[19:27] ---
    I call Dragoneraser, Jamming to the left!
[19:31] ---
    And I pay 1 gauge to equip!
[19:35] ---
    Leg Blade Rejector!
[19:38] ---
    I'll delete all space trash!
[19:41] ---
    Jamming! Attack Quantum Ruler!
[19:45] ---
    I've been defeated!
[19:50] ---
    Due to the item's effect,
    my gauge increases by 1.
[19:53] ---
    And using Jamming's ability, Zodiac's
    critical has increased to 4, so enjoy that!
[19:59] ---
    Vertical Ray!
[20:03] ---
    Tasuku!
[20:06] ---
    My turn is over.
[20:14] ---
    I pay 1 gauge and...
[20:16] ---
    I cast! Dragoner's Beat!
[20:19] ---
    I increase Jack & Fang's critical by 1!
[20:22] ---
    Jack & Fang, maximum output!
[20:23] ---
    Shoot!
[20:27] ---
    Double Attack!
[20:31] ---
    Star Remnant!
    Attack the fighter!
[20:34] ---
    Sparkle Shoot!
[20:35] ---
    Maximum Output!
[20:39] ---
    Finish him! Jack!
[20:41] ---
    All right!
[20:42] ---
    I cast. Divine Guidance.
[20:50] ---
    Tasuku! Impact Call!
[20:52] ---
    Right!
[20:53] ---
    Final Phase!
[20:56] ---
    Let's get this over with.
[20:57] ---
    Impact Call!
[20:59] ---
    I pay 2 gauge and evolve Jackknife...
[21:01] ---
    Into an Impact Monster!
[21:05] ---
    Jack is now a size 2 monster with
    6000 power and defense, and a critical of 2.
[21:11] ---
    Using his effect, he crossnizes with
    the Jackarms J Thruster in the drop zone.
[21:15] ---
    And I activate J Thruster's ability!
[21:18] ---
    I discard one card from my hand and crossnize
    with another J Thruster from my deck!
[21:23] ---
    And by Crossnizing with J Igniter,
    his critical becomes 3!
[21:29] ---
    Impact Monsters have no effect on me.
[21:34] ---
    I activate Zodiac's ability!
[21:37] ---
    Now kneel! Gravity Rest!
[21:44] ---
    Jack!
[21:45] ---
    You couldn't beat me in a million years.
[21:49] ---
    What have you done to Jack?
[21:51] ---
    An Impact Monster block.
[21:52] ---
    Impact Monster block?
[21:55] ---
    Hurry up and end your turn.
[21:58] ---
    Or else he'll end up crushed to death.
[22:02] ---
    Curse you, Doctor Gara.
[22:05] ---
    Now, say it out loud!
[22:07] ---
    Say your turn is over!
[22:09] ---
    I have no choice.
[22:12] ---
    Bal has to pee, bal.
[22:14] ---
    Huh?
[22:17] ---
    Jack!
[22:18] ---
    What's going on, bal?
[22:20] ---
    Stay back!
[22:21] ---
    You've saved me some time.
[22:23] ---
    Zodiac! Capture him!
[22:25] ---
    I won't let you!
[22:30] ---
    Jack!
[22:33] ---
    He can move already?
[22:35] ---
    Bal? Is something wrong?
[22:38] ---
    Gao!
[22:41] ---
    What is that?
[22:42] ---
    Turtle!
[22:45] ---
    They disappeared, bal.
[22:48] ---
    Impact Monster block?
[22:51] ---
    What was that?
[22:54] ---
    Today's winning card!
[22:57] ---
    Star Deity Dragon, Zodiac!
[22:59] ---
    The monster that's called
    is put in a rest position.
[23:02] ---
    If you use it as a Star Dragon card,
    it can use Move,
[23:05] ---
    and all Neodragons
    gain 1 critical!
[23:07] ---
    Even Bal's in trouble, bal!
[24:41] ---
    Dual Monster? What's that, bal?
[24:43] ---
    A card you can use in two worlds, bal?
[24:45] ---
    Th-That's amazing, bal!
