[01:38] ---
    The Preliminary Rounds of the Ace
    Buddyfighter Play-offs have concluded.
[01:41] ---
    And now we're finally heading
    into the Secondary Round!
[01:45] ---
    In the Secondary Round, the Shop Representatives
    will face each other in a battle of Survival.
[01:51] ---
    Participating Buddyfighters
    will be given 1000 points.
[01:55] ---
    If they win a match, they gain 100 points.
[01:58] ---
    If they lose, 100 points are
    deducted from their total.
[02:00] ---
    However! These 100 points
    are just the minimum.
[02:04] ---
    If your opponent agrees to it, you can
    increase those points as much as you'd like!
[02:08] ---
    Once a fighter hits 0 points,
    they are eliminated, chu!
[02:13] ---
    Each player can fight in up
    to 5 matches per day.
[02:16] ---
    And they can only face the
    same opponent once per day.
[02:18] ---
    If you want to battle against a specific Buddyfighter,
[02:21] ---
    access the Ace Buddyfighter Play-offs official
    website and click on your opponent's name!
[02:27] ---
    If you don't care who you face...
[02:30] ---
    You'll be facing a random opponent
    selected by the computer, chu.
[02:35] ---
    The Secondary Round will last 2 months.
[02:36] ---
    The top 8 Buddyfighters with the greatest number of points
    will go on to the final tournament, called the Judgement Final.
[02:45] ---
    Who will be the greatest
    Buddyfighter in all of Japan?
[02:48] ---
    Things are heating up as the battle moves on to
    the national stage for the Ace Buddyfighter Play-offs!
[02:53] ---
    Stay tuned!
[02:56] ---
    The Secondary Round Begins!
    A Challenge From Vile Ranma!
[03:05] ---
    I-I've gained three
    kilos in the last week!
[03:14] ---
    I've finished cleaning the windows.
[03:19] ---
    What should I do next?
[03:23] ---
    What's the matter?
[03:27] ---
    It's Masato!
[03:30] ---
    Ranma's ally is listed.
[03:32] ---
    The genius chess prodigy.
[03:34] ---
    It's Da Dan!
[03:36] ---
    He made it through the
    Preliminary rounds too?
[03:39] ---
    I bet he cheated.
[03:42] ---
    Ranma!
[03:43] ---
    If we're cleaning high up, I can do it...
[03:46] ---
    N-No, that's fine!
[03:48] ---
    Cross, you just take it easy for now!
[03:56] ---
    How can I defeat Ranma's
    Lost World deck, I wonder?
[04:00] ---
    First, we must decide whether to use
    Dragon World or Katana World.
[04:06] ---
    I see you're in the middle
    of a strategy meeting.
[04:08] ---
    Oh, is that a list of the
    Secondary round participants?
[04:11] ---
    What other Buddyfighters are taking part?
[04:18] ---
    Subaru!
[04:20] ---
    I lost.
[04:24] ---
    It's your fault.
[04:26] ---
    What?
[04:27] ---
    You were unable to withstand Destroyer's attack,
    and so I was unable to win.
[04:32] ---
    Wh-What are you saying?
[04:34] ---
    I don't want to see your face ever again!
[04:36] ---
    Begone from my sight!
[04:38] ---
    Y-You can't mean it...
[04:47] ---
    I guess Subaru made it through
    the Preliminary rounds too.
[04:51] ---
    A Buddyfighter as skilled as Subaru could easily
    become a Shop Representative even without a Buddy.
[04:58] ---
    I just thought of something great!
[05:02] ---
    All preparations are complete, dog!
[05:04] ---
    Ready when you are, cat!
[05:06] ---
    I'm sleepy, bird...
[05:10] ---
    What did you want to show me?
[05:15] ---
    This is... a video of the first time
    that we battled against Subaru.
[05:20] ---
    Yeah! Isn't this a blast from the past?
[05:22] ---
    Thank you so much.
[05:28] ---
    The autumn skies are clear,
    and dogs are growing sleepy, dog...
[05:31] ---
    The autumn skies are clear,
    and cats are growing sleepy too, cat...
[05:35] ---
    The skies are clear, and I'm sleepy whether
    it's spring, summer, autumn or winter, bird...
[05:41] ---
    I pay 1 life and cast
    Crystallization Phenomenon!
[05:45] ---
    If Garga has an attack that can't be nullified, then
    the solution is to never let him attack in the first place...
[05:51] ---
    That was Subaru's strategy at the time.
[05:54] ---
    What is it?
[06:09] ---
    I have the day off from school,
    but I still have to work...
[06:12] ---
    The Buddy Police sure are
    rough on their employees.
[06:15] ---
    Don't complain so much.
[06:17] ---
    Vanity Husk Destroyer is trying to
    create some kind of organization.
[06:20] ---
    So keeping an eye on him
    is an important mission.
[06:24] ---
    I have a slightly different take.
[06:26] ---
    Meaning what?
[06:28] ---
    My guess is, Ranma is
    the one who wants allies.
[06:31] ---
    He probably wants to be like Yuga.
[06:36] ---
    Someone's coming.
[06:38] ---
    Subaru?
[06:49] ---
    Well?
[06:50] ---
    Have you made up your mind?
[06:52] ---
    I haven't decided to become your ally yet.
[06:55] ---
    Today, I just came to see
    your base of operations.
[06:59] ---
    Very well. Make yourself at home.
[07:02] ---
    There's one other thing
    I'd like to confirm.
[07:05] ---
    Are you really stronger than Yuga?
[07:08] ---
    What did you say?
[07:09] ---
    Nobody has seen the Buddyfight
    between you and Yuga.
[07:12] ---
    Because it wasn't an officially sanctioned
    Buddyfight, there are no videos or records.
[07:18] ---
    As far as I'm concerned,
    I'm finished with Yuga.
[07:21] ---
    But if you insist,
    I'll Buddyfight him once more.
[07:26] ---
    This time, I'll crush him
    in front of an audience!
[07:35] ---
    It's time for the Vile Ranma
    Channel to begin!
[07:38] ---
    I'm sure you're aware that I'm participating in
    the Ace Buddyfighter Play-offs Secondary round.
[07:44] ---
    And so I have an important announcement.
[07:47] ---
    If I lose a match, I'll give my opponent all
    of the points that I have at that moment.
[07:52] ---
    However, if I win, I'll take half
    of my opponent's points.
[07:58] ---
    I'm strong, so I'm giving
    myself a disadvantage.
[08:01] ---
    The next broadcast is coming soon...
    We'll meet again.
[08:03] ---
    If he loses even once, he'd be immediately
    eliminated from the tournament!
[08:06] ---
    He's planning to win all of
    his Buddyfight matches.
[08:10] ---
    What is it?
[08:11] ---
    It's an email from Ranma.
[08:23] ---
    I haven't seen you in a while, Ranma!
[08:26] ---
    You sure are strong!
[08:27] ---
    I want to face you in the first
    Buddyfight of the Secondary round.
[08:32] ---
    Do you accept my challenge?
[08:37] ---
    The Secondary round is all about survival!
[08:39] ---
    And the first match of the Secondary round
    stars the Ace of Games, Yuga Mikado...
[08:43] ---
    And the Lost World player, Vile Ranma!
    A true clash of the titans!
[08:46] ---
    If Vile Ranma loses,
    he's immediately out of the tournament!
[08:49] ---
    And if Yuga loses,
    he'll lose half his points, chu!
[08:52] ---
    You can do it, Yuga!
[08:53] ---
    We're rooting for you!
[08:55] ---
    You'd better not lose, Yuga.
[08:57] ---
    I wonder how Yuga's planning
    on fighting against Lost World.
[09:01] ---
    I'm quite curious about that myself.
[09:03] ---
    We'll see, we'll see.
[09:05] ---
    Reveal the gateway to the lost dimension.
[09:09] ---
    Luminize!
[09:13] ---
    Dimension Gate!
[09:15] ---
    A Deity's Dragon Ninja Troopers
    at your beck and call!
[09:20] ---
    Luminize! Draninja!
[09:23] ---
    Buddy...fight!
[09:26] ---
    Raise the flag!
[09:29] ---
    Dragon World.
[09:31] ---
    Katana World.
[09:34] ---
    So he's using Katana World this time.
[09:39] ---
    Gargantua Dragon.
[09:46] ---
    The first move goes to Vile Ranma.
[09:49] ---
    Draw.
[09:50] ---
    Charge and draw.
[09:53] ---
    I call Dimension Dragon, Ire to the left.
[09:58] ---
    Ire! Attack the fighter.
[10:09] ---
    That's it for my turn.
[10:12] ---
    My turn.
[10:13] ---
    Draw. Charge and draw.
[10:16] ---
    Also, I pay 1 gauge and place a card from my deck into
    the soul as I Buddy call Gargantua Dragon to the right!
[10:27] ---
    All are powerless before my blade!
[10:30] ---
    Here he is!
[10:31] ---
    Yuga Mikado starts things off with
    a bang by Buddy calling Garga!
[10:35] ---
    I call Nincat to the left.
[10:38] ---
    All right! I'm gonna do it, cat. Nin!
[10:41] ---
    Nincat's effect lets me increase my gauge
    and my life, as well as draw a card.
[10:44] ---
    And I pay 1 more gauge and...
[10:47] ---
    I cast! Demon Way, Akeshigure!
[10:50] ---
    He uses a spell to draw one more card.
[10:53] ---
    I cast! Demon Way, Blood-sucking Bird!
    I deal 1 damage to the fighter.
[10:58] ---
    I increase my life by 1,
    and gain 1 gauge too.
[11:01] ---
    And I send one of Vile Ranma's
    gauge cards to the drop zone.
[11:04] ---
    I cast, one more time!
    Demon Way, Blood-sucking Bird!
[11:10] ---
    All right!
[11:11] ---
    Yuga Mikado casts Demon Way, Blood-sucking Bird twice
    in a row, robbing Vile Ranma of his life and gauge!
[11:16] ---
    I cast. Dragotrap.
[11:24] ---
    Dragotrap ensures that Garga
    can't attack during this turn!
[11:29] ---
    In that case... Nincat,
    attack the fighter!
[11:31] ---
    Leave it to me, cat! Nin!
[11:33] ---
    I cast! Green Dragon Shield!
[11:37] ---
    What?
[11:39] ---
    That's it for my turn.
[11:42] ---
    My turn.
[11:43] ---
    Draw. Charge and draw.
[11:45] ---
    I pay one life and equip!
[11:48] ---
    Dimension Cane, Ponilia.
[11:50] ---
    Ponilia's ability, activate!
    I increase my gauge by 1!
[11:54] ---
    Ire! Attack Nincat!
[11:58] ---
    Ire's effect lets Vile Ranma
    add a card to his hand!
[12:02] ---
    I'm done for, cat! Nin!
[12:05] ---
    That's it for my turn.
[12:22] ---
    Draw. Charge and draw.
[12:24] ---
    I cast! Demon Way, Blood-sucking Bird!
[12:35] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting, Garga.
[12:37] ---
    Attack the fighter!
[12:41] ---
    I cast. Fire Dragon Shield.
[12:46] ---
    Vile Ranma reduces the damage
    to 0 using a defense spell.
[12:51] ---
    I have Double Attack!
[12:54] ---
    Ponilia's ability, activate!
[13:00] ---
    Vile Ranma reduces the damage
    using Ponilia's ability!
[13:04] ---
    Gargantua Dragon! G.Evo, activate!
[13:08] ---
    Change! Gargantua Wind Demon Dragon!
[13:14] ---
    Gargantua Wind Demon Dragon!
[13:17] ---
    Here and ready to fight!
[13:21] ---
    I am a ninja. The deity of ninja! Nin!
[13:25] ---
    Garga! Attack Ranma!
[13:27] ---
    As you wish! Nin!
[13:31] ---
    I cast. D. Alteration!
[13:35] ---
    I nullify the attack and force
    the attack phase to end.
[13:38] ---
    Gargantua Wind Demon Dragon,
    Replicate activate!
[13:41] ---
    I call Garga's clones
    to the center and right!
[13:44] ---
    Nin nin nin nin nin!
[13:46] ---
    Final Phase!
[13:47] ---
    I cast! Deity Gargantua Punisher!
[13:52] ---
    Ranma has 5 life!
[13:54] ---
    Punisher does 5 damage!
[13:56] ---
    This should settle the match.
[14:05] ---
    Impact!
[14:06] ---
    Deity Gargantua Punisher!
[14:11] ---
    I cast. D. Suction.
[14:23] ---
    But he got hit with Gargantua Punisher!
[14:26] ---
    The spell card that he used right before
    it hit must have increased his life.
[14:33] ---
    I guess that wasn't enough.
[14:36] ---
    I-I won't be defeated by the likes of you!
[14:42] ---
    D. Coating...
[14:46] ---
    What is it?
[14:47] ---
    I won't be defeated by the likes of you.
[14:51] ---
    I cast. D. Coating.
[14:54] ---
    That increases my gauge by 2.
[14:57] ---
    Whoa! Vile Ranma chooses this moment
    to increase his gauge using a spell!
[15:03] ---
    I won't be beaten!
[15:06] ---
    Cover the flag!
[15:08] ---
    Lost World!
[15:13] ---
    You see!
[15:14] ---
    The power of Lost World changes everything
    you thought you knew about Buddyfight!
[15:22] ---
    We're putting the commentary on hold!
[15:24] ---
    Please stand by, chu!
[15:34] ---
    Now, Lost Deck! Into my hand!
[15:48] ---
    The gateway to nothingness has opened.
    The Vile Demonic Dragon roars!
[15:58] ---
    Deck Change.
[16:00] ---
    Lost Vanity Dimension!
[16:19] ---
    Vile Demonic Dragon,
    Vanity Husk Destroyer!
[16:28] ---
    My turn is over now.
[16:31] ---
    My turn!
[16:32] ---
    Draw. Charge and draw.
[16:37] ---
    I call Dimension Dragon,
    Agonia to the right.
[16:42] ---
    Now tremble in terror!
    And become consumed by despair!
[16:47] ---
    I Buddy call Vile Demonic Dragon,
    Vanity Husk Destroyer to the right!
[16:59] ---
    He's here! Vanity Husk Destroyer has
    made his long-awaited appearance!
[17:07] ---
    Agonia's effect lets Vile Ranma
    increase his hand cards and gauge!
[17:11] ---
    I equip! Vile Demonic Gun,
    Lostless Buster!
[17:28] ---
    Double Attack!
[17:33] ---
    Gargantua Wind Demon Dragon!
    Duplication, activate!
[17:35] ---
    I call a clone to the right!
[17:40] ---
    Nin!
[17:41] ---
    Destroyer! Attack the
    replicated Garga in the center!
[17:45] ---
    I shall do as you please.
[17:48] ---
    Vanity Door, Origin.
[18:02] ---
    Garga!
[18:03] ---
    Double Attack!
[18:04] ---
    This time, attack the fighter!
[18:12] ---
    Due to Lostless Buster's effect,
    Yuga has no hand cards left!
[18:15] ---
    Garga and all his replicates
    have been destroyed...
[18:17] ---
    Right now, Yuga Mikado
    is practically unarmed!
[18:20] ---
    But he still has 10 life, chu.
[18:23] ---
    However... Ranma's impact can
    deal 10 damage to the opponent.
[18:27] ---
    What?!
[18:29] ---
    Final Phase!
[18:31] ---
    I cast! Vanity Zero Blazer!!
[18:35] ---
    Finish him, Destroyer!
[18:54] ---
    Impact! Vanity Zero Blazer!
[19:12] ---
    He wasn't able to win this time, either.
[19:14] ---
    Just how powerful is this Lost World?
[19:19] ---
    Game End! Vile Ranma is the victor!
[19:22] ---
    The Lost World is victorious, chu!
[19:30] ---
    As a result of this match, the victorious
    Vile Ranma now has a total of 1500 points.
[19:34] ---
    Yuga Mikado, who lost,
    has a total of 500 points now.
[19:38] ---
    This is sudden, but let me explain!
[19:40] ---
    Why isn't Vile Ranma smiling,
    even though he won?
[19:45] ---
    That night, Yuga and Garga reviewed
    the footage from this match.
[19:50] ---
    Right now, they are looking at the officially recorded match data
    from the Buddy Card Office, who is hosting the tournament.
[19:58] ---
    By looking at this data, they can recreate the
    match with a full view of their opponent's cards.
[20:04] ---
    The truth was, Yuga had thought up a new way
    of battling Lost World in advance of this match.
[20:15] ---
    I might be able to use Subaru's strategy
    in my next match with Ranma.
[20:19] ---
    What do you mean?
[20:21] ---
    When Subaru faced us,
    he didn't let Garga attack, right?
[20:25] ---
    Is that notable?
[20:28] ---
    The other day, when I
    faced Senior Banjoe...
[20:31] ---
    Because he kept Plundering my gauge,
    I couldn't battle the way I wanted to.
[20:38] ---
    That's it!
[20:39] ---
    I shouldn't think about how
    to battle Lost World...
[20:42] ---
    I just need to keep him from using Lost
    World in the first place!
[20:45] ---
    I see!
[20:46] ---
    Yuga, you're so smart!
[20:49] ---
    And so Yuga continued to chip away at the 2 gauge
    that Vile Ranma needed to activate Lost World!
[20:56] ---
    I-I won't be defeated by the likes of you!
[21:01] ---
    At this moment, Vile Ranma had
    resigned himself to defeat. However!
[21:08] ---
    I cast. D. Suction.
[21:10] ---
    I increase my life by
    1 and draw two cards.
[21:14] ---
    Vile Ranma used D. Coating and gained 2 gauge,
    which allowed him to turn the tables on Yuga.
[21:19] ---
    However, it was sheer luck that brought
    D. Coating into Vile Ranma's hand.
[21:25] ---
    If this card hadn't ended up
    in Ranma's hand cards...
[21:28] ---
    We definitely would have won.
[21:30] ---
    It's said that victory depends
    on the luck of the day.
[21:32] ---
    Truly, a simple matter of good or bad luck
    determined the outcome of this battle.
[21:36] ---
    Next time for sure, we won't lose.
[21:39] ---
    Just you wait, Ranma!
[21:41] ---
    Next time, I'm going to defeat you!
[21:48] ---
    This victory was only due to good luck.
[21:51] ---
    Vile Ranma knew this
    better than anyone else...
[21:54] ---
    And that was why he was
    not happy, even in victory.
[21:57] ---
    Or rather, he could not be happy.
[22:00] ---
    I'll remember this, Yuga!
[22:13] ---
    Ran! Ran! Ga-woo!
[22:16] ---
    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] ---
    D. Coating!
[22:26] ---
    It's a Dragon World spell card that can
    be used during your opponent's turn.
[22:31] ---
    It increases your gauge by 2, and lets you keep
    one destroyed Dimension Dragon on your field.
[22:36] ---
    Even if you don't have a destroyed Dimension Dragon,
    you can still use it as a card that increases your gauge.
[22:40] ---
    This way, you're guaranteed to get
    the gauge you need to use Lost World!
[22:44] ---
    Lost World monsters also have
    the Dimension Dragon attribute,
[22:48] ---
    so you can use this card efficiently
    even after switching to Lost World.
[22:52] ---
    Prevent your powerful monsters from being
    destroyed, and land a decisive victory!
[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!
[24:40] ---
    We found an old Magic World
    card that my dad used to use!
[24:44] ---
    I wonder what other cards there are?
    I'm so curious!
[24:47] ---
    Next episode: Mage Garga!
    A Magic World Buddyfight!
