[00:00] ---
    Bal planted some
    morning glory seeds!
[00:02] ---
    They sprouted, bal!
    Hope they grow fast, bal!
[00:05] ---
    Now there are flower buds, bal!
[00:06] ---
    Looking forward to
    them blooming, bal!
[00:08] ---
    Huh?
[00:09] ---
    Bal wasn't growing morning glories,
    they were morning Gao-ries.
[00:12] ---
    So disappointed, bal.
[00:13] ---
    What's that supposed to mean?
[00:15] ---
    The greatest Buddyfighter in the world!
[00:18] ---
    The WBC Cup Japan Representative
    Invitational Tournament is in the final stretch, B!
[00:27] ---
    Bal...
[00:29] ---
    Will try his super-super best, bal!
[00:31] ---
    Bal is now a size 2 monster with 11000 power,
    6000 defense, and a critical of 1!
[00:38] ---
    Bal Saucer Over Rush!
[00:44] ---
    That can't be!
[00:45] ---
    He broke through the
    Impact Monster Block?
[00:49] ---
    Penetrate, bal!
[00:53] ---
    Bal and I are going
    to continue fighting!
[00:56] ---
    And!
[00:58] ---
    We're gonna become
    Buddy Champions, bal!
[01:02] ---
    You surprised me, little Bal.
[01:04] ---
    An Impact Monster that could
    overpower Zodiac's Gravity Rest...
[01:10] ---
    But your turn is over now.
[01:12] ---
    Doctor Kakeru!
[01:14] ---
    Bal's attack isn't over yet!
[01:16] ---
    If I pay 1 gauge, Bal can attack again,
    as many times as I want!
[01:21] ---
    What?
[01:24] ---
    Bal!
[01:27] ---
    Bal!
[01:31] ---
    This will finish you, bal!
[01:37] ---
    Bal Dragon had been kidnapped,
    but he's back!
[01:40] ---
    I'm so glad, so very glad!
[01:42] ---
    And now it's the last day
    of the Japan Tournament!
[01:45] ---
    Only one slot remaining for
    the World Championships!
[01:49] ---
    Many of the remaining fighters
    are close to 100 wins, B!
[01:53] ---
    Ouch! The right-hand seagull is named
    Chiwa, a very aggressive girl!
[01:58] ---
    Buddy...
[01:59] ---
    Meowt!
[03:30] ---
    It's finally the last day of
    the WBC Japan Tournament!
[03:34] ---
    Today, we're once again coming
    to you live from Cho-Taiyo Island!
[03:38] ---
    Master Tasuku Ryuenji and Gaito Kurouzu have
    already qualified for the World Championships.
[03:43] ---
    Only one slot for
    the World Championships remains!
[03:46] ---
    Currently, the top player
    is Dai Kaido, with 91 wins!
[03:49] ---
    Hooray, Chief!
[03:51] ---
    Hooray, Chief!
[03:52] ---
    Next in line are Tenka Gotsurugi,
    Shura Gokumon, and Ageha Gokuraku.
[03:57] ---
    U-U-Unbelievable!
[03:58] ---
    Gao Mikado is currently
    in 10th place!
[04:00] ---
    Making it to the top
    seems impossible!
[04:03] ---
    The tournament continues until sunset!
[04:06] ---
    If nobody reaches 100 wins by that time,
    there will only be 2 representatives for Japan!
[04:11] ---
    What sort of finale awaits us?
[04:27] ---
    Go, go! Bal's surging steady advance!
[04:32] ---
    I balanced the deck to work
    with the new Impact Monster.
[04:35] ---
    Thank you, Baku!
[04:37] ---
    And here's a pizza!
    Please eat it when you get hungry.
[04:39] ---
    Thank you, bal!
[04:43] ---
    You're eating it already?
[04:44] ---
    Because Bal's hungry, bal!
[04:47] ---
    Gao! Little Bal!
[04:50] ---
    Doctor Kakeru!
[04:53] ---
    Are you okay?
[04:56] ---
    I came because I was worried about Bal, but...
    instead, I'm making you worry about me!
[04:59] ---
    How are you feeling?
    Does anything hurt?
[05:02] ---
    Doing great, bal!
[05:04] ---
    All thanks to Doctor Kakeru, bal!
[05:06] ---
    I'm so glad. But don't push
    yourself too hard.
[05:08] ---
    I'm sure that you two
    will be able to make it.
[05:11] ---
    If you need me,
    I'll come running!
[05:15] ---
    I'm more worried about
    Doctor Kakeru.
[05:17] ---
    Bal will try his best, bal!
[05:20] ---
    Bal will become
    Buddy Champion, bal!
[05:21] ---
    Yeah!
[05:23] ---
    In a few moments,
    the Buddyfighting will begin!
[05:25] ---
    We'll be gathering all
    the fighters into the UFO Stages!
[05:28] ---
    Jack. I'm counting on you.
[05:30] ---
    Right.
[05:38] ---
    Gathering completed!
    Is everybody ready?
[05:46] ---
    5 seconds to launch!
[05:48] ---
    4!
[05:49] ---
    3!
[05:50] ---
    2!
[05:51] ---
    1!
[05:52] ---
    Fire!
[06:03] ---
    All right! Where are the fighters?
[06:06] ---
    A beautiful landing is my destiny.
[06:09] ---
    This way, Master Shura!
[06:11] ---
    All right!
[06:12] ---
    Aw, my make-up is going to smudge!
[06:15] ---
    Are you okay, Aggie-kins?
[06:16] ---
    Sure as sunshine!
[06:21] ---
    Whoa! Buddyfighters are looking for a match,
    with not a moment to lose!
[06:24] ---
    Everyone's bursting
    with fighting spirit!
[06:26] ---
    Fight me!
[06:28] ---
    Sure!
[06:30] ---
    Let's Buddyfight!
[06:31] ---
    Come at me!
[06:37] ---
    Oooh! I'm getting Paru-calls
    from all over the place!
[06:40] ---
    Talk about an unbelievably fast pace!
[06:42] ---
    I had heard that your Buddy had returned,
    but it seems the rumors were true!
[06:47] ---
    Then I would like to
    challenge you to a rematch!
[06:50] ---
    I'll send you packing!
[06:52] ---
    Bal got even stronger, bal!
[06:55] ---
    Paru-call!
[06:58] ---
    Yes yes, here I come!
[06:59] ---
    Warp!
[07:01] ---
    Rise, sun!
[07:03] ---
    Burn, sun!
[07:06] ---
    Luminize!
    Scorching Sun Dragon!
[07:09] ---
    Five skills! Five blades!
[07:12] ---
    The greatest swords
    in history are in my hand!
[07:14] ---
    Luminize!
[07:15] ---
    Blade Beast Revolt!
[07:17] ---
    Buddy...fight!
[07:20] ---
    Raise the flag!
[07:22] ---
    Dragon World!
[07:24] ---
    We'll win and win and
    win all over the place, bal!
[07:27] ---
    Katana World!
[07:29] ---
    We are prepared to burn
    our bridges in one last stand!
[07:32] ---
    Come on, Gao!
    Bal! Do your best!
[07:35] ---
    You two, amp up your fighting spirit!
[07:36] ---
    If you've got the most fighting spirit,
    you have nothing to fear!
[07:39] ---
    Bal, let's go!
    I Buddy call to the right!
[07:44] ---
    Bal, bal!
[07:46] ---
    Dragon of the Sun, Bal Dragon!
[07:49] ---
    Bal will try his best, bal!
[07:51] ---
    Gao Mikado regains
    life with a Buddy call!
[07:54] ---
    All right! Finish him
    off in one blow!
[07:56] ---
    It's going to end in this turn!
[07:58] ---
    Oh, listen to you two.
[08:01] ---
    There's no way that he could
    finish the fight in this situation.
[08:04] ---
    Final Phase!
[08:06] ---
    Bossman! Be careful!
[08:08] ---
    Certainly!
[08:08] ---
    Impact Call!
[08:10] ---
    I pay 2 gauge and
    transform Bal Dragon...
[08:13] ---
    Into an Impact Monster!
[08:26] ---
    Bal will try his
    super-super-best, bal!
[08:29] ---
    Bal is now a size 2 monster with 11000 power,
    6000 defense, and a critical of 1!
[08:35] ---
    Bal Saucer Over Rush!
[08:40] ---
    Munechika!
[08:45] ---
    Penetrate, bal!
[08:47] ---
    Oh no!
[08:50] ---
    But your critical is merely 1!
[08:52] ---
    You cannot finish me off!
[08:54] ---
    Bal Saucer Over Rush can
    be used again and again,
[08:57] ---
    as long as I pay
    1 gauge each time!
[09:00] ---
    What?
[09:02] ---
    One more time, bal!
[09:04] ---
    I am filled with regret!
[09:07] ---
    Game End!
    Winner, Gao Mikado!
[09:11] ---
    A-A-Amazing! Bal Dragon has
    a new Impact Monster!
[09:14] ---
    It's called Bal Dragon,
    Bal Saucer Over Rush!
[09:18] ---
    They did it!
[09:19] ---
    Keep it up!
    Gao, Bal!
[09:22] ---
    Looking good!
    Looking great! G-A-O!
[09:24] ---
    Looking good!
    Looking great! BAL!
[09:27] ---
    B-Bal Dragon... Bal S-Saucer...
[09:30] ---
    Nobody told me about this, B!
[09:34] ---
    He was asleep, after all.
[09:36] ---
    Meow!
[09:39] ---
    Next time, I shall not lose!
    Just you wait and see!
[09:43] ---
    We did it, bal!
[09:44] ---
    Gao and Bal won, bal!
[09:45] ---
    All right!
    On to the next fight!
[09:47] ---
    Looks like there aren't
    any fighters nearby.
[09:50] ---
    Which way do you wanna go?
[09:51] ---
    At times like this...
[09:53] ---
    Let's use the Weathervane Dragon, bal!
[09:56] ---
    This way, bal!
[09:57] ---
    Great!
[09:59] ---
    Right now? No way!
[10:02] ---
    Bal Saucer Over Rush!
[10:06] ---
    Penetrate, bal!
[10:08] ---
    Oh no!
[10:11] ---
    Bal, bal, bal!
[10:13] ---
    Eek!
[10:14] ---
    Too hype! Too much!
    Out of this world!
[10:17] ---
    Game End.
    Winner, Gao Mikado!
[10:20] ---
    All right!
    Thank you very much.
[10:23] ---
    Thank you very much, bal!
[10:34] ---
    With a new power in hand,
    they're racking up the wins at an amazing rate!
[10:40] ---
    Bal, bal, bal, bal, bal, bal!
[10:42] ---
    In the blink of an eye,
    Gao has soared to fifth place!
[10:47] ---
    Looks like we might
    witness a miracle, B!
[10:50] ---
    All right!
[10:51] ---
    Keep it up!
[10:53] ---
    Meanwhile, the top ranked player, Dai Kaido...
[10:55] ---
    His win count hasn't
    increased at all.
[10:57] ---
    What could it mean?
[10:58] ---
    Let's go to our field reporter, Miss Paruko!
[11:00] ---
    Here I am!
[11:01] ---
    Paruko!
[11:03] ---
    Huh?
[11:05] ---
    Aren't there any people
    who want to fight?
[11:08] ---
    I, the great Dai Kaido, will face you!
[11:12] ---
    Making it to the top is my destiny.
[11:15] ---
    Until then, I'm going to avoid fighting you,
    and keep picking off the weaker fighters.
[11:19] ---
    That's how I should
    increase my win count.
[11:21] ---
    Hey!
[11:23] ---
    Doesn't anybody want to see
    my invincible dragon for themselves?
[11:26] ---
    I think I've figured out why
    Dai Kaido's win count isn't increasing.
[11:31] ---
    Chief! Your voice is too big, turtle!
[11:34] ---
    Too big, turtle!
[11:36] ---
    Well, his name does
    mean big in Japanese...
[11:54] ---
    Gao Mikado wins again!
[11:56] ---
    He soars to third place!
[12:00] ---
    Yes?
[12:01] ---
    Tasuku. It's me, Takihara.
[12:02] ---
    We've investigated
    Mikazuki Island thoroughly.
[12:06] ---
    As we feared, we weren't
    able to find Doctor Gara.
[12:08] ---
    But we were able to
    recover the deleted data.
[12:11] ---
    Really? That's great,
    Mister Takihara!
[12:14] ---
    You can really tell this is
    a Gaen Financial Group system!
[12:17] ---
    The data was saved thanks
    to multiple back-ups!
[12:21] ---
    Ms. Stella. There's something I need
    you to check right away in that data.
[12:26] ---
    It's a festival, a festival!
[12:28] ---
    A big catch festival!
[12:33] ---
    Oh no!
[12:34] ---
    Master Shura!
[12:37] ---
    I've caught something!
[12:39] ---
    What's going on?
[12:40] ---
    The net of destiny has
    fallen from the sky!
[12:45] ---
    Now, fight me!
[12:48] ---
    Looks like Dai Kaido's
    win count is going up again!
[12:53] ---
    Hooray, Chief!
[12:55] ---
    Hooray, Chief!
[12:57] ---
    However!
[12:59] ---
    Impact Call!
[13:00] ---
    I pay 2 gauge and
    transform Bal Dragon...
[13:03] ---
    Into an Impact Monster!
[13:07] ---
    Bal Saucer Over Rush!
[13:11] ---
    Gao Mikado rises
    up to second place!
[13:14] ---
    Yeah!
[13:15] ---
    The gap between him
    and Dai Kaido is shrinking, B!
[13:18] ---
    Looking good, Gao!
[13:19] ---
    You're almost there, little Bal!
[13:21] ---
    The only concern is
    the time remaining.
[13:25] ---
    There's less than an hour to sunset,
[13:27] ---
    so there's a chance that
    nobody will reach 100 wins, B!
[13:31] ---
    That's not true!
[13:33] ---
    Gao will definitely reach 100 wins!
[13:35] ---
    I know that my Gao
    will manage, somehow!
[13:38] ---
    Do your best, Gao!
[13:41] ---
    All right! Duel Jaeger!
    It's a Link Attack festival!
[13:48] ---
    This is my 99th win!
[13:50] ---
    He did it, turtle!
[13:52] ---
    Just one more win, turtle!
[13:53] ---
    He's almost there, turtle!
[13:55] ---
    Take that!
[13:58] ---
    Bal!
[14:02] ---
    Bal, bal, bal!
[14:07] ---
    Bal!
[14:09] ---
    Gao Mikado has reached
    99 wins as well!
[14:12] ---
    He's finally tied
    with Dai Kaido!
[14:15] ---
    He did it!
[14:17] ---
    He's almost there!
    Almost there!
[14:19] ---
    Just one more win!
[14:20] ---
    But he needs to hurry!
[14:22] ---
    Will the sun set first?
    Or will one of them reach 100 wins first?
[14:27] ---
    The WBC Cup Japan Tournament
    is finally reaching its climax!
[14:38] ---
    Hmm, yes.
    He is a nuisance.
[14:47] ---
    A smokescreen!
[14:56] ---
    Tasuku!
[14:58] ---
    Jack!
[15:00] ---
    I'm sorry.
    I lost sight of him.
[15:05] ---
    Hello?
[15:06] ---
    Tasuku. It's just as you thought.
[15:08] ---
    Doctor Gara found a way to control
    metabolic systems as well. In other words...
[15:16] ---
    Gao and Bal are in danger.
[15:20] ---
    Bal, wait a second.
[15:22] ---
    Senior Tasuku?
[15:23] ---
    Hello?
[15:24] ---
    Gao. I just found out that...
[15:26] ---
    Don't interfere with the great Gara.
[15:35] ---
    What's wrong, bal?
[15:37] ---
    The call dropped.
[15:39] ---
    Gao! Little Bal!
[15:42] ---
    Oh! Doctor Kakeru!
[15:44] ---
    Bal!
[15:46] ---
    I was wondering how
    little Bal was doing.
[15:48] ---
    Bal is doing great, bal!
[15:51] ---
    Well, just in case, can I give you
    another check-up?
[15:55] ---
    We're grateful that you're willing
    to do that, but the time...
[15:58] ---
    Did you forget?
[15:59] ---
    I'm participating in
    the tournament too.
[16:00] ---
    Oh.
[16:02] ---
    It should be kicking in soon.
[16:04] ---
    Bal?
[16:05] ---
    Maybe you're not thrilled at the thought
    of me being your 100th win, but...
[16:08] ---
    It looks like you're out of time, and...
[16:12] ---
    Tasuku! The jamming signal has stopped!
[16:15] ---
    Then please, call Gao right away!
[16:16] ---
    That's the problem.
    Gao's cell phone is currently in use.
[16:21] ---
    Can you determine the jamming
    signal's point of origin?
[16:23] ---
    Yes. I'll send a map to your cell phone.
[16:26] ---
    Let's hurry, Jack!
[16:27] ---
    Right!
[16:30] ---
    If you don't hurry,
    the sun's going to set.
[16:33] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[16:35] ---
    What's wrong, bal?
[16:36] ---
    I dunno. I feel like I shouldn't push this...
[16:46] ---
    I've caught an opponent!
[16:48] ---
    Curses!
[16:49] ---
    Stop struggling, and fight me!
[16:52] ---
    I already fought you!
[16:55] ---
    The rules say that we can fight as many
    times as we like, as long as it's not in a row.
[17:00] ---
    This is not my destiny!
[17:04] ---
    Dai Kaido has captured
    Shura Gokumon!
[17:07] ---
    If he's victorious,
    he'll make it to 100 wins!
[17:10] ---
    It's a festival, a festival!
    A 100 Wins festival!
[17:14] ---
    Come on, Gao.
[17:16] ---
    If you don't hurry,
    he's going to beat you to it.
[17:19] ---
    All right.
[17:24] ---
    Unbelievable! For Gao's 100th win,
    he'll be taking on Doctor Kakeru!
[17:29] ---
    In that case...
[17:31] ---
    I'll abandon my duties
    and cheer my hero, B!
[17:35] ---
    Go, go, Doctor Kakeru!
[17:39] ---
    Do your best!
[17:41] ---
    Meow meow meow!
[17:42] ---
    Now, will Gao prove victorious over
    Doctor Kakeru and reach 100 wins?
[17:47] ---
    Let's get things started!
[17:49] ---
    UFO Stage...
[17:51] ---
    Open!
[17:59] ---
    No! Miss Paruko!
[18:06] ---
    Senior Tasuku!
    Sorry, I'm about to...
[18:08] ---
    Be careful, Gao.
[18:10] ---
    Your opponent, Kakeru Futaboshi...
    is Doctor Gara!
[18:16] ---
    What are you talking about, Senior Tasuku?
[18:19] ---
    Doctor Gara and Doctor Kakeru have
    different scents, so they're different people!
[18:23] ---
    That was a trick!
[18:25] ---
    But that's impossible!
[18:27] ---
    Bal...
[18:29] ---
    What's wrong, Bal?
[18:31] ---
    Bal's body feels...hot, bal.
[18:38] ---
    Bal!
[18:40] ---
    G-Gao...
[18:42] ---
    Gotta fight soon, bal.
[18:44] ---
    Bal...really wants to fight, bal.
[18:49] ---
    What are you saying, Bal?
[18:51] ---
    Sounds like the drugs
    are finally kicking in.
[18:56] ---
    What have you done to Bal?
[19:00] ---
    Don't look so scary.
[19:02] ---
    Shall I give you some candy?
[19:04] ---
    Answer the question!
[19:07] ---
    This candy is custom-made.
[19:11] ---
    It has a special ingredient.
[19:14] ---
    While you're licking it, your metabolic
    system functions differently than normal.
[19:19] ---
    In other words...
[19:21] ---
    Changing my scent...
[19:23] ---
    Is as easy as can be...
[19:26] ---
    For the great Doctor Gara!
[19:34] ---
    Doctor Kakeru is...
[19:35] ---
    Doctor Gara?
[19:37] ---
    Wh-What are you saying, B?
[19:41] ---
    Doctor Kakeru, transforming into
    such an evil-looking villain...
[19:44] ---
    It's not possible, B!
[19:49] ---
    You were deceiving
    us all this time?
[19:55] ---
    Why did you do it?
[19:57] ---
    My goal is to make Zodiac
    the strongest monster.
[20:01] ---
    An ultimate monster that
    I can use in all worlds!
[20:05] ---
    To do that, it needs to absorb powerful
    monsters from each world.
[20:11] ---
    And so I set my sights
    on Dragon World first.
[20:15] ---
    The power of Dragon World
    is immense, after all.
[20:19] ---
    Don't worry, absorbing
    monsters is easy enough.
[20:23] ---
    Once a monster has lost and
    can't move, Zodiac will go...chomp!
[20:28] ---
    It's that easy.
[20:30] ---
    But if the monster still has memories or reason,
    it's not so easy to absorb.
[20:35] ---
    Bal wants to fight already, bal!
    Have to fight, bal!
[20:40] ---
    Bal!
[20:42] ---
    Then...that stuff you made Bal drink...
[20:46] ---
    A drug that will make him lose
    his memories and his reason.
[20:53] ---
    Bal...
[20:54] ---
    Let Bal fight, bal...
[20:57] ---
    Gao...
[20:58] ---
    That guy there is a new type, a Sun Dragon,
    and he can even create Impact Monsters.
[21:03] ---
    But he's a little brat!
[21:04] ---
    He doesn't have that many memories.
[21:06] ---
    He'll lose his reason easily enough.
[21:09] ---
    He's literally the perfect sacrifice!
[21:16] ---
    You...
[21:18] ---
    I'm going to defeat you.
[21:20] ---
    Sounds good to me.
    Go ahead and try.
[21:24] ---
    Did you forget what
    I made him drink?
[21:28] ---
    By the time this fight is over...
[21:30] ---
    He'll lose all trace of his
    memories and reason!
[21:37] ---
    Just imagine it.
[21:39] ---
    Even if you two win, the only thing
    that'll be released from this stage...
[21:45] ---
    Will be a mindless creature with no memories,
    lashing out wildly according to its instincts.
[21:49] ---
    A freak!
[21:53] ---
    He won't understand human words.
[21:57] ---
    All monsters who get in
    his way will be his enemy!
[22:00] ---
    Stop it, Bal!
[22:05] ---
    It'll be real interesting to see how
    much damage he causes.
[22:12] ---
    Bal, bal!
[22:14] ---
    If you hand him over without putting up
    a fight, I'd be willing to let you live.
[22:22] ---
    There's no way I could do that!
[22:25] ---
    Then you have two options.
[22:27] ---
    If you win, you'll suffer.
    If you lose, you'll suffer.
[22:32] ---
    Now, which form of
    suffering will you choose?
[22:35] ---
    Gao Mikado!
[22:39] ---
    You're toying with Bal's life.
[22:41] ---
    How can you do this?
[22:47] ---
    You...
[22:50] ---
    And you call yourself a Buddyfighter?
[22:55] ---
    Today's winning card!
[22:57] ---
    Libra Starsentinel, Leebra!
[22:59] ---
    Every time you pay 1 gauge, you can return
    your opponent's monsters to their hand cards!
[23:04] ---
    Use it in combos with Zodiac's Gravity Rest!
[23:07] ---
    Can't move at all, bal!
[24:40] ---
    Bal won't forget, bal!
[24:42] ---
    Bal and Gao promised to become
    Buddy Champions together, bal!
[24:45] ---
    Bal will try his super-super best, bal!
[24:48] ---
    Next episode: Gao!
    This is the Dragon Force!
[24:51] ---
    Buddyfight, bal!
