[01:31] ---
    This is sudden, but here's our story so far!
[01:33] ---
    The genius chess player Seiji Kido
    sees Subaru as his rival.
[01:38] ---
    Vile Ranma approached Seiji and
    manipulated him into becoming allies!
[01:42] ---
    And at the Shop Preliminaries,
    the two former friends faced off!
[01:46] ---
    Seiji used Oppress to block Subaru's Galaxy
    Formation, leading to Subaru's defeat!
[01:56] ---
    I heard that Subaru hasn't come to
    school at all since he lost to Seiji.
[02:00] ---
    Maybe he was really shaken
    up by losing that match.
[02:04] ---
    Now that you mention it...
[02:06] ---
    Back then...
[02:12] ---
    It seems that Ranma also intends on
    participating in the Ace Buddyfighter Play-offs.
[02:16] ---
    Then maybe I'll have a chance to
    Buddyfight with him again!
[02:24] ---
    The truth is... there's something
    we need to tell you, dog.
[02:30] ---
    What's wrong, you guys?
[02:34] ---
    Our New Ally? A Non-Evil Da Dan?
[02:39] ---
    So you're saying that the number of
    subscribers to Ran-Ga Channel is going down?
[02:42] ---
    That's right, dog.
[02:44] ---
    It's happening bit by bit, but the
    numbers are definitely decreasing.
[02:49] ---
    Well, it's true that...
[02:50] ---
    I know it's kind of rude
    to say this, but...
[02:52] ---
    The recent Ran-Ga Channel
    videos have been, well...
[02:55] ---
    How should I say this...
[02:56] ---
    They haven't been any good at all!
[02:59] ---
    No way!
[03:01] ---
    Well, he's not wrong, dog.
[03:03] ---
    It's no surprise, bird.
[03:04] ---
    What?
[03:05] ---
    I know the root cause.
[03:07] ---
    It's because Ranma left.
[03:09] ---
    What do you mean, cat?
[03:11] ---
    Ranma's a genius at making videos.
[03:14] ---
    Even if things didn't go well during filming, he edited the
    footage and enhanced it, resulting in a hilarious viral video.
[03:20] ---
    I see, bird.
[03:22] ---
    I guess it's true. The Ran-Ga Channel
    couldn't exist without Ranma.
[03:25] ---
    Then we need to find someone who will
    take Ranma's place and assist us.
[03:31] ---
    Hey, everyone! Look at that!
[03:35] ---
    Huh? Da Dan?
[03:37] ---
    That villainous PalTuber!
[03:39] ---
    He's plotting another
    evil scheme, isn't he!
[03:45] ---
    Guys! I...
[03:48] ---
    I...
[03:49] ---
    I missed you all so much!
[03:52] ---
    Wh-What's going on?
[03:54] ---
    What?
[03:56] ---
    You guys... I've caused you
    so much trouble in the past.
[04:00] ---
    I'm so sorry!
[04:03] ---
    What brought about this
    change in attitude?
[04:06] ---
    Are you saying you're going
    to stop your evil ways?
[04:08] ---
    Of course! I've repented.
[04:14] ---
    Sounds pretty suspicious to me.
[04:18] ---
    That is, um... I know!
[04:20] ---
    To make up for what I did...
    I made this for you!
[04:24] ---
    Equip! Deity Dragon Sword, Garblade!
[04:38] ---
    This is incredible, cat!
[04:40] ---
    It looks so cool...
[04:42] ---
    To be quite frank, these techniques
    are far beyond our skills, dog.
[04:47] ---
    There are rumors swirling
    all around the internet...
[04:49] ---
    Ranma transferred to
    a different school, right?
[04:51] ---
    Huh?
[04:52] ---
    If you ever need my help to keep
    Ran-Ga Channel going, just let me know!
[04:57] ---
    I'll do anything you ask.
[04:59] ---
    Nice attitude adjustment!
[05:01] ---
    Looks like Ranma's substitute
    is going to be Da Dan!
[05:04] ---
    You shouldn't trust him so easily!
[05:07] ---
    You've already been fooled
    by him once before.
[05:09] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[05:11] ---
    What do you think about
    all this, Miko dear?
[05:13] ---
    I think he's definitely
    plotting something.
[05:16] ---
    Are you saying that you can't trust me?
[05:19] ---
    Then...
[05:20] ---
    Look into my eyes.
[05:27] ---
    Do whatever you think is best.
[05:31] ---
    All right. Da Dan, I believe you!
[05:35] ---
    Thank you, Yuga...
[05:46] ---
    Thank you, Yuga...
[05:47] ---
    Because you believed in me...
[05:51] ---
    The first stage of my plan
    is a major success!
[06:00] ---
    Hey there, Dragon Bloodeyes...
[06:02] ---
    Thou must not break the taboo.
[06:05] ---
    This part of my name is my Soul Name.
    It must not be spoken aloud.
[06:10] ---
    I am one who has been guided by the seal of blood
    to battle against a secret evil organization.
[06:15] ---
    The Dragonblood Sect fights darkness with darkness,
    and I am their leader, Bloody-Eyes...
[06:20] ---
    He goes on and on like this, but this
    "secret evil organization" stuff is all in his head.
[06:26] ---
    Like, it doesn't exist.
[06:29] ---
    When my evil eye opens, my hidden powers are released...
    and all the world will be lit up by a blinding darkness...
[06:37] ---
    This is all talk, so you
    don't have to worry.
[06:41] ---
    Never mind all that, Dragon Blood...
[06:43] ---
    I keep telling you not to say that.
[06:47] ---
    Anyway, it was a piece of cake.
[06:49] ---
    Dumb old Yuga was fooled so easily.
[06:53] ---
    He was a villain after all!
[06:59] ---
    Big Boss Yuga! Please, try one, sir!
[07:02] ---
    Uh, sir?
[07:03] ---
    And now, Professor Garga,
    please eat some too, sir!
[07:06] ---
    Very well.
[07:12] ---
    The truth is, the octopus dumpling I gave Yuga
    has loads of super-spicy piri-piri sauce on it!
[07:17] ---
    So spicy!
[07:20] ---
    I'll be taking that deck now!
[07:25] ---
    Yum! Mom's octopus dumplings are tasty,
    but these are really good too!
[07:29] ---
    You're right about that.
[07:31] ---
    Why?
[07:35] ---
    It's so spicy!
[07:38] ---
    I ate an octopus dumpling,
    and got a trout-y pout.
[07:40] ---
    All right... today I'm going to buy...
[07:43] ---
    This one.
[07:44] ---
    I can't believe such an awful
    thing happened to me.
[07:47] ---
    I've got to think up a new plan...
[07:49] ---
    I know! Yuga doesn't know that
    the great Da Dan is a Buddyfighter.
[07:53] ---
    If I can use that to my advantage...
[07:56] ---
    I got a great card!
[07:58] ---
    Gargantua Dragon, Cyclone Mode.
[08:01] ---
    That's incredible, sir!
[08:03] ---
    Buddyfight cards are so cool
    when you look at them up close!
[08:08] ---
    Are you saying you've never
    tried Buddyfight before?
[08:11] ---
    That's the truth of it, sir.
[08:13] ---
    I'm super-interested, but...
[08:16] ---
    Oh! I know!
[08:17] ---
    Big Boss, could you please
    show me your deck, sir?
[08:20] ---
    Oh, sure thing.
[08:21] ---
    Wait!
[08:24] ---
    Smell ya later!
[08:27] ---
    Hey!
[08:28] ---
    Hurry! We've got to go after him, dog!
[08:30] ---
    But he's going so fast, cat...
[08:32] ---
    Master Garga could catch up to him, bird.
[08:36] ---
    Even I can't match that speed.
[08:38] ---
    I just thought of something great!
[08:45] ---
    This should be far enough to keep me safe.
[08:48] ---
    Now it's time to throw out the trash!
[09:00] ---
    Garga?
[09:01] ---
    I've never seen this mode before.
[09:05] ---
    This is sudden, but let me explain!
[09:09] ---
    Thanks to the Cyclone Mode card that Yuga obtained, Garga
    changed into a speedy form, capable of moving at high speed!
[09:18] ---
    I knew from the very start.
[09:21] ---
    That your claims of changing your
    ways were nothing but lies.
[09:24] ---
    What? How could that be!
[09:25] ---
    I get it now...
[09:27] ---
    Back then, when those octopus dumplings
    got switched... that was your doing!
[09:32] ---
    Why did you do this?
[09:35] ---
    Well, the truth is, the great Da Dan
    is a Buddyfighter as well.
[09:38] ---
    And I'm going to participate in
    the Ace Buddyfighter Play-offs.
[09:41] ---
    If I want to win, I've got to do something
    about tough opponents like Yuga.
[09:46] ---
    Just give the deck back,
    and apologize to Yuga.
[09:51] ---
    What are you, stupid?
[09:52] ---
    Not everyone in this world is
    a goody-goody like Yuga!
[09:56] ---
    There are bad guys like me,
    the great Da Dan.
[10:00] ---
    Tell the Ace of Games that it's not
    a good idea to trust people so easily!
[10:07] ---
    I say again. Return the deck.
[10:09] ---
    I. Don't. Wanna!
[10:13] ---
    Then I have no other option.
[10:14] ---
    I don't want to do this,
    but I'll have to take it back by force!
[10:20] ---
    Oh no!
[10:25] ---
    That was a close one.
[10:26] ---
    Where is he?
[10:29] ---
    He got away.
[10:32] ---
    Sorry, Garga.
[10:33] ---
    This is all because I believed Da Dan.
[10:37] ---
    In this world, there are many
    with evil in their hearts.
[10:42] ---
    But that's no reason to stop
    having a trusting heart.
[10:46] ---
    A trusting heart?
[10:48] ---
    No matter how many times you're tricked...
[10:50] ---
    No matter how many
    times you're betrayed...
[10:52] ---
    You mustn't give up on trusting others.
[10:56] ---
    I understand.
[10:58] ---
    Thanks, Garga.
[11:15] ---
    Yuga was tricked by a villainous PalTuber?
[11:19] ---
    Yeah, that's exactly what happened!
[11:21] ---
    But... I can't believe Yuga's next
    opponent is that guy, of all people!
[11:42] ---
    Another Shop Preliminary
    match is about to begin!
[11:45] ---
    This time, we have the Ace
    of Games, Yuga Mikado...
[11:48] ---
    Facing off against PalTuber Dan Yamada!
[11:51] ---
    Don't use my birth name, Dan Yamada!
[11:57] ---
    What? Why not?
[11:58] ---
    I hate my original name!
    Do you understand me?
[12:04] ---
    Fine, whatever.
[12:05] ---
    I hear you loud and clear.
[12:06] ---
    He's kind of a jerk, chu.
[12:09] ---
    By winning the Buddyfight,
    we'll punish that villain!
[12:14] ---
    I wonder what Da Dan's
    Buddyfight style is like?
[12:17] ---
    I can't deny that Yuga
    is a tough opponent.
[12:20] ---
    But I've put together a deck
    specially designed to fight him.
[12:26] ---
    Dragonblood Sect!
[12:27] ---
    Appear with a big da-dan!
[12:29] ---
    Luminize!
[12:31] ---
    Bloody Nightmare!
[12:34] ---
    A Deity's Dragon Brigade descends!
[12:39] ---
    Luminize! Dradeity!
[12:42] ---
    Buddy...fight!
[12:45] ---
    Raise the flag!
[12:47] ---
    Dragon World!
[12:50] ---
    Dragon World!
[12:52] ---
    Bloody-Eyes!
[12:57] ---
    Gargantua Dragon!
[13:02] ---
    First move goes to Da Dan, chu!
[13:05] ---
    Draw. Charge and draw.
[13:08] ---
    I equip!
[13:09] ---
    Pleading Gloves!
[13:14] ---
    Forgive me, my friend...
[13:16] ---
    Your life must be lost due
    to the laws of darkness.
[13:20] ---
    I call Shadow Serve to the left!
[13:23] ---
    Would you like to see some... dark dreams?
[13:29] ---
    I Buddy call Bloody-Eyes to the right!
[13:36] ---
    Bloody-Eyes. Size 3, 10000 power,
    8000 defense, and a critical of 2.
[13:42] ---
    He's my da-darn reliable Buddy!
[13:47] ---
    Now is the time to submit to the covenant
    of blood, and unleash my accursed powers!
[13:52] ---
    Dragonblood Eyes. Attack the fighter!
[13:55] ---
    I keep telling you, don't say
    that part of my name out loud!
[13:58] ---
    Shining Darkness!
[14:03] ---
    That's it for my turn!
[14:06] ---
    -Draw. Charge and draw!
    -Go for it, Yuga!
[14:09] ---
    Defeat that villainous PalTuber!
[14:11] ---
    Oh goodness me, Miko dear.
[14:13] ---
    You're more passionate in
    your cheering than usual.
[14:16] ---
    That jerk was tricking Yuga,
    just as I thought.
[14:19] ---
    I can't forgive him!
[14:21] ---
    I Buddy call Gargantua
    Dragon to the right.
[14:26] ---
    All are powerless before my blade!
[14:29] ---
    Shadow Serve. Move to the center.
[14:34] ---
    And also! Bloody-Eyes' ability, activate!
[14:38] ---
    Now, sleep in the embrace of my evil eye.
[14:43] ---
    What's wrong, Garga?
[14:44] ---
    Whoa! What's going on?
[14:46] ---
    Garga's acting odd.
[14:48] ---
    Bloody-Eyes has the Counterattack ability.
[14:51] ---
    Just you watch!
[14:54] ---
    I will predict the future.
[14:55] ---
    Garga, you will attack me
    with a right hook...
[15:01] ---
    It was a sword attack, not a punch... but just as predicted,
    Garga was forced to attack Bloody-Eyes!
[15:10] ---
    I gladly sacrifice a fragment of my soul.
[15:14] ---
    It was a good punch.
[15:15] ---
    I'm telling you, that wasn't a punch, chu.
[15:17] ---
    This time, I'll go on the offensive!
[15:22] ---
    Garga!
[15:25] ---
    Garga was defeated!
[15:26] ---
    This is seriously bad!
[15:28] ---
    But why was he destroyed?
[15:31] ---
    Bloody-Eyes has the ability to choose
    one monster and nullify their abilities.
[15:35] ---
    And when Bloody-Eyes forces his target
    to attack him, he gains Counterattack!
[15:40] ---
    And also!
[15:46] ---
    When he destroys a monster,
    he deals 1 damage to the fighter.
[15:52] ---
    Savor the sweet pain I deliver.
[15:56] ---
    Da Dan uses Shadow Serve's ability to
    increase his gauge by 1, and draw a card.
[16:00] ---
    This is becoming quite a tough situation for
    Yuga Mikado! Even though it's his turn...
[16:06] ---
    Bloody-Eyes' ability to force
    attacks has destroyed Garga!
[16:11] ---
    I'm going to force the center open.
[16:13] ---
    Garbird! Attack Shadow Serve.
[16:16] ---
    Leave it to me!
[16:17] ---
    I'm going to do it, bird!
[16:21] ---
    I'm done for...
[16:22] ---
    I'm defeated!
[16:24] ---
    Here I go!
[16:26] ---
    The center is wide open! Yuga Mikado
    is taking matters into his own hands!
[16:30] ---
    I cast! Green Dragon Shield!
[16:36] ---
    However! The attack is blocked, and
    ironically Da Dan increases his life by 1!
[16:41] ---
    My turn is over.
[16:44] ---
    Next, it's Da Dan's turn, chu!
[16:46] ---
    Don't lose, Yuga!
[16:52] ---
    Da Dan's turn continues.
[16:54] ---
    Once again, Shadow Serve
    is called to the left.
[16:56] ---
    And he bares his fangs at Yuga Mikado!
[16:58] ---
    This won't hurt...
[17:00] ---
    This won't hurt a bit!
[17:05] ---
    Bloody-Eyes! Let Yuga have it!
[17:08] ---
    I call upon the freezing flames!
[17:17] ---
    Double Attack!
[17:18] ---
    Blinding shadows!
[17:26] ---
    Looks like Da Dan is going
    for an all-out attack!
[17:31] ---
    I cast! Deity Blue Dragon Shield!
[17:33] ---
    Yuga Mikado manages to survive the attack!
[17:37] ---
    That's it for my turn.
[17:40] ---
    My turn.
[17:41] ---
    Draw. Charge and draw!
[17:44] ---
    I call Gargantua Dragon to the right!
[17:48] ---
    Yuga.
[17:49] ---
    Do you have some sort of strategy?
[17:51] ---
    If not, I will be controlled once more,
    and forced to attack Bloody-Eyes.
[17:57] ---
    It's okay. Just believe in me.
[18:04] ---
    I understand. I will trust you!
[18:06] ---
    You can try as many times as you like,
    but the result will be the same.
[18:10] ---
    Bloody-Eyes' ability, activate!
[18:11] ---
    Now, sleep in the embrace of my evil eye.
[18:19] ---
    I cast! Gargantua Switch Mode!
[18:21] ---
    Gargantua Dragon! G.Evo, activate!
[18:24] ---
    Change! Gargantua Dragon, Cyclone Mode!
[18:36] ---
    Cyclone Mode!
[18:38] ---
    What great timing for a G.Evo!
[18:44] ---
    Now that I'm in Cyclone Mode, I can destroy two
    enemy monsters when I appear with G.Evo
[18:55] ---
    Oh no... I'm going to vanish!
[18:59] ---
    W-Wait! Wait just a second!
[19:02] ---
    What's going on? Why didn't Bloody-Eyes'
    forced attack not happen?
[19:07] ---
    This is sudden, but let me explain!
[19:09] ---
    Bloody-Eyes' forced attack was
    an effect targeting Garga.
[19:14] ---
    That's why Yuga changed Garga to Cyclone Mode,
    which counts as a different monster.
[19:20] ---
    And so he avoided the forced attack!
[19:24] ---
    Now I can fight without any reservations!
[19:26] ---
    Garga! Attack Da Dan!
[19:28] ---
    As you wish!
[19:32] ---
    I have Triple Attack!
[19:35] ---
    Wh-What? Triple Attack?
[19:38] ---
    One!
[19:41] ---
    Two!
[19:44] ---
    Three!
[19:51] ---
    So cool!
[19:53] ---
    That was some incredible speed!
[19:55] ---
    Even with my reflexes and eyesight,
    I couldn't keep up with him.
[19:58] ---
    Garbird, you attack too!
[20:00] ---
    No, don't!
[20:02] ---
    You villain, I won't forgive
    you for tricking Yuga, bird!
[20:05] ---
    Ow...
[20:17] ---
    Double Attack!
[20:18] ---
    I cast! Blue Dragon Shield!
[20:23] ---
    Final Phase!
[20:26] ---
    I cast! Deity Gargantua Punisher!
[20:35] ---
    Impact!
[20:37] ---
    Deity Gargantua Punisher!
[20:52] ---
    The victor is Yuga Mikado!
[20:54] ---
    Winner: me!
[20:56] ---
    The Ace of Games is victorious, chu!
[21:02] ---
    Cheers!
[21:04] ---
    Oh my, oh my.
    What are you all celebrating?
[21:07] ---
    They uploaded a video of Garga
    changing into Cyclone Mode,
[21:10] ---
    and they got a whole bunch of new
    subscribers to Ran-Ga Channel!
[21:14] ---
    I'm just glad that we can all relax, dog.
[21:16] ---
    We don't need to rely on Da Dan. We can totally
    do it on our own if we try hard enough.
[21:21] ---
    Garcat is right, you know.
[21:24] ---
    But what are you going to do from now on?
[21:26] ---
    There's no need for concern.

    I will support Ran-Ga Channel
    even more than I have in the past.
[21:32] ---
    That's a great idea!
[21:35] ---
    What?
[21:36] ---
    Master Garga...
[21:38] ---
    Is going to support the channel?
[21:42] ---
    For real?
[21:44] ---
    Ran! Ran! Ga-woo!
[21:51] ---
    Huh? What's going on?
[21:53] ---
    It's funny when Garga does it!
[21:56] ---
    Let's try it again!
[21:58] ---
    Very well. As you wish.
[22:00] ---
    Ran! Ran! Ga-woo!
[22:01] ---
    Happily ever after... bird...
[22:13] ---
    Ran! Ran! Ga-woo!
[22:17] ---
    Hey, fans! Once again, the two of
    us will introduce a special card!
[22:21] ---
    The card we're introducing
    today is this one!
[22:24] ---
    Gargantua Dragon, Cyclone Mode!
[22:27] ---
    When he's in Cyclone Mode, Garga has the
    abilities Move, Soulguard, and Triple Attack.
[22:33] ---
    And when he first appears, he can
    destroy one enemy monster!
[22:38] ---
    If he appears using G.Evo, he can
    destroy a monster a second time!
[22:43] ---
    Use Triple Attack to unleash waves of attacks.
    And you can use Move to protect the fighter, too.
[22:48] ---
    This mode is a perfect balance
    of attack and defense.
[22:51] ---
    Use the ability to destroy a monster twice to
    break through monsters with multiple soul cards.
[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!
