[00:01] ---
    My name is Chibi Panda!
[00:04] ---
    Guru finally completed
    the second Mirage Card!
[00:08] ---
    But Wisdom showed up on the scene.
[00:11] ---
    The newly-evolved Geargod VIII was super-duper strong,
    and even though Guru fought hard, he lost!
[00:17] ---
    We managed to protect the new Mirage Card,
    but something terrible happened.
[00:21] ---
    Guru!
[01:55] ---
    Kiri and Asmodai managed to pry the gate open
    and search for Guru and Giant Tanuki...
[02:01] ---
    They said that the Mirage Shrine
    itself had vanished completely.
[02:05] ---
    I'm sorry...
[02:08] ---
    Guru knew this would happen
    when he created the Mirage Card.
[02:12] ---
    And he's left it all in your hands, Gao.
[02:15] ---
    Guru...
[02:17] ---
    Guru!
[02:18] ---
    Don't come any closer!
[02:19] ---
    Take this!
[02:22] ---
    Batzz. You must protect Gao.
[02:24] ---
    S-Sure!
[02:25] ---
    Huh?
[02:26] ---
    Batzz, stop it!
    Let go of me!
[02:29] ---
    Athora! The Guru...
[02:30] ---
    We can't save him!
[02:34] ---
    To vanish along with the Mirage Shrine...
    what a cruel destiny.
[02:38] ---
    But by doing that, Guru
    protected the second Mirage Card.
[02:42] ---
    That Wisdom! I'll never
    forgive him for this!
[02:45] ---
    Guru! Giant Tanuki!
[02:47] ---
    Why did this have to happen?
[02:55] ---
    Batzz?
[02:56] ---
    Look at you all, looking
    depressed and down in the dumps!
[02:59] ---
    Quit moping already!
[03:12] ---
    Th-That's...
[03:14] ---
    A statue of Guru and Giant Tanuki...
[03:17] ---
    There's something we have to do.
[03:20] ---
    We can be sad after
    we've finished our task!
[03:23] ---
    I will carve their image
    into my heart forever.
[03:26] ---
    Nin.
[03:28] ---
    Batzz is right.
[03:30] ---
    Now isn't the time to mourn.
[03:32] ---
    This time, we're the ones
    who have to protect this.
[03:34] ---
    This Mirage Card.
[03:38] ---
    Assemble! Thunder Empire!
[03:42] ---
    The Mirage Card becomes
    a card worthy of its possessor.
[03:46] ---
    Wisdom turned it into
    his flag card, the Chaos.
[03:57] ---
    This card is fated to
    become of use to me.
[04:00] ---
    The Mirage Card becomes a card that
    is suited to the one who obtains it.
[04:04] ---
    And now...
[04:06] ---
    I am the one who has gained it.
[04:08] ---
    Accordingly, it has become
    a flag card, the Chaos.
[04:13] ---
    Now it's your turn, Gao.
[04:15] ---
    I'm sure it'll turn into
    an amazing card!
[04:17] ---
    Yeah!
[04:18] ---
    Let's do it, Batzz.
[04:20] ---
    What?
[04:21] ---
    You must do it together!
[04:23] ---
    If Guru were here,
    that's what he'd say.
[04:26] ---
    I see.
[04:38] ---
    Hey! Where do you think you're going?
[04:40] ---
    Batzz?
[04:41] ---
    Big Boss!
[05:20] ---
    Abygale!
[05:21] ---
    Athora!
[05:22] ---
    El Quixote!
[05:24] ---
    Duel Jaeger?
[05:26] ---
    Satsuki? What's wrong, indeed?
[05:28] ---
    This light...
[05:30] ---
    The light is speaking to me!
[05:32] ---
    Yes!
[05:33] ---
    Battle together...
[05:35] ---
    Now is the time to gather
    our strength into one...
[05:37] ---
    Gather strength into one?
[05:39] ---
    All of you! Come fight under me!
[05:43] ---
    Or rather... please come
    and fight under this banner!
[05:46] ---
    All of you, in your different worlds...
    we need your strength!
[05:50] ---
    Please! For Gao Mikado's sake!
[05:53] ---
    Lend us your strength!
[05:55] ---
    All right!
[06:00] ---
    If it's strength you need,
    we're happy to lend a hand!
[06:12] ---
    Thunder Emperor's Fangs?
[06:14] ---
    This must be a response to Batzz's cry for
    the Thunder Empire to assemble...
[06:18] ---
    The ultimate flag card, which lets you battle
    together with monsters from all worlds!
[06:25] ---
    Accursed Bunbuku.
[06:27] ---
    So he'd already given the new
    Mirage Card to Gao Mikado.
[06:32] ---
    Judging from this data, it can be surmised
    that a new flag card has been created.
[06:38] ---
    What would you like to do?
[06:43] ---
    What is Geargod VII's status?
[06:45] ---
    Regrettably, it will require significant time
    before it's ready to head into battle again.
[06:51] ---
    I'll work on that.
[06:54] ---
    Master Wisdom?
[06:55] ---
    What will you do about
    Gao Mikado's flag card?
[06:57] ---
    It will be no match for the Chaos.
[07:00] ---
    Grimoire, I'll let you take care of it.
[07:01] ---
    As you wish.
[07:04] ---
    A new flag card,
    Thunder Emperor's Fangs.
[07:07] ---
    The Mirage Card that Guru Bunbuku
    risked his life to create...
[07:11] ---
    Gao and Batzz made it into a flag card that will gather
    the Thunder Empire from all the different worlds.
[07:16] ---
    Yeah.
[07:17] ---
    Jack, Satsuki. You can
    fight together with us!
[07:20] ---
    You two are part of my
    extraordinary army of friends!
[07:23] ---
    So I'm asking for your help.
[07:25] ---
    You can count on me!
[07:26] ---
    But... it's really a pity.
[07:29] ---
    Guru Bunbuku and Giant Tanuki are...
[07:31] ---
    We're going to fight for
    Guru Bunbuku's sake, indeed!
[07:34] ---
    I, Ku Teito, will not let
    Wisdom win, indeed!
[07:37] ---
    That's the spirit!
[07:39] ---
    I hope you'll work with us to win the day.
[07:41] ---
    You just patted me on the head.
[07:44] ---
    Oh no! Chibi Panda!
[07:46] ---
    You treated me like a little kid, indeed!
[07:49] ---
    I knew it was going to be me!
[07:51] ---
    Delicious!
[07:53] ---
    The dinners at the Mikado
    house are the best!
[07:59] ---
    I see. So a lot of powerful monsters are going
    to come and work with Gao and Batzz, huh.
[08:04] ---
    That's exactly right!
[08:05] ---
    They've all got their quirks and their odd habits, so if
    they start fighting it's going to be a lot of trouble!
[08:11] ---
    As the manager, I'll have to
    keep it all under control.
[08:15] ---
    Chibi Panda, you're amazing!
[08:17] ---
    -So cool!
    -I know, right?
[08:18] ---
    Uh, wait. When did you
    become the manager?
[08:22] ---
    Just now.
[08:23] ---
    Now that I'm the manager,
    I'm going to rule with an iron fist!
[08:27] ---
    First up, Gao!
[08:29] ---
    What? Me?
[08:30] ---
    I'm a proper Saint Holy Sword Dragon now!
[08:34] ---
    Big Boss Batzz evolved into
    Thunder Emperor Dragon, Barlbatzz.
[08:38] ---
    But! What about our hero, Gao?
[08:41] ---
    From the top of your head...
[08:44] ---
    To the tips of your feet...
[08:46] ---
    You haven't changed a bit!
[08:50] ---
    Now now, calm down.
[08:52] ---
    At this rate, Gao will be the laughingstock
    of the Thunder Empire!
[08:56] ---
    We have to do something!
[08:57] ---
    Me? The laughingstock?
[08:59] ---
    If you don't want that to happen,
    you should get stronger.
[09:02] ---
    Mom...
[09:03] ---
    In order to become a Buddyfighter worthy of that new flag
    card, you'll just have to work on powering yourself up.
[09:08] ---
    Here you go.
[09:09] ---
    Huh?
[09:10] ---
    It's the Mikado-style Aikijujitsu
    training program.
[09:13] ---
    Give it a try!
[09:14] ---
    All right, I will!
[09:15] ---
    Thank you, mom!
[09:24] ---
    Chibi Panda is right.
[09:26] ---
    Everyone's definitely become stronger.
[09:29] ---
    I call to the left! Chibi Panda!
[09:31] ---
    Or rather, Saint Holy Sword Dragon!
[09:35] ---
    This is me getting serious!
[09:38] ---
    And to the right, I call...
[09:41] ---
    The evolved form of
    my most powerful Buddy!
[09:47] ---
    Thunder Emperor Dragon, Barlbatzz!
[09:51] ---
    And my flag card turned
    into Thunder Emperor's Fangs!
[09:54] ---
    I'm next.
[09:55] ---
    I'm gonna do it!
[09:59] ---
    Oh no!
[10:04] ---
    Good night...
[10:13] ---
    Mikado-style Aikijujitsu
    Training Program.
[10:16] ---
    Part One.
[10:17] ---
    First, run!
[10:18] ---
    Strengthening your leg muscles
    is basic training, after all!
[10:20] ---
    Here I go!
[10:24] ---
    Yeah! That's right!
[10:25] ---
    Run! Run!
[10:27] ---
    Take this!
[10:30] ---
    Wh-What did you do that for, Batzz?
[10:34] ---
    This is fun.
[10:35] ---
    Come on! Run!
[10:38] ---
    Come on, come on!
[10:39] ---
    If you don't run faster,
    I might hit you!
[10:42] ---
    Cut it out, Batzz!
[10:43] ---
    You're seriously aiming
    for me, aren't you!
[10:46] ---
    Of course I am.
[10:47] ---
    Otherwise, it wouldn't
    make for good training!
[10:53] ---
    I thought I was going to die...
[10:55] ---
    We're just getting started.
[10:56] ---
    You need to improve your time!
[10:59] ---
    Don't be unreasonable!
[11:00] ---
    Gao. I hope you don't
    mind if we train as well.
[11:03] ---
    Nin.
[11:04] ---
    Oh! Zanya! Tsukikage!
[11:07] ---
    My Buddy also responded to the call of the Thunder Emperor's
    Fangs and became a member of the Thunder Empire.
[11:13] ---
    He is now Overturn Ninja, Tsukikage.
[11:15] ---
    Nin.
[11:17] ---
    All right! Let's do this together!
[11:19] ---
    Nin.
[11:20] ---
    Wait just a moment!
[11:22] ---
    Huh?
[11:27] ---
    Who are you?
[11:28] ---
    Thwackdrill from Danger World!
[11:31] ---
    That's me!
[11:33] ---
    Oh? Are you joining the
    Thunder Empire too?
[11:35] ---
    Indeed!
[11:36] ---
    I'm gonna thwack them good,
    together with Big Boss Batzz!
[11:41] ---
    Gao!
[11:42] ---
    Kanata. Gaito.
[11:43] ---
    We heard that you were training here.
[11:46] ---
    So we came.
[11:47] ---
    We will accompany you.
[11:50] ---
    That is our destiny from now on.
[11:52] ---
    That's really encouraging!
[11:54] ---
    We're getting a nice crowd now.
[11:57] ---
    If we're going to be training together, I'll have to
    really work hard to become stronger than everyone else!
[12:03] ---
    It'll be more fun that way.
[12:04] ---
    You've got a point.
[12:06] ---
    All right! Let's do this thing!
[12:14] ---
    Go, team! Go, team! Go, team!
[12:19] ---
    It suddenly got a lot heavier!
[12:21] ---
    Huh?
[12:22] ---
    It suddenly got heavier again!
[12:24] ---
    What the heck?
[12:26] ---
    Don't hold back!
[12:27] ---
    Sure thing, Boss!
[12:33] ---
    Finally, it's time for the
    X Tempest Buster to power up!
[12:36] ---
    All right!
[12:37] ---
    I'm ready whenever you are!
[12:39] ---
    Here we go, Batzz!
[12:53] ---
    I cast!
[13:16] ---
    That's not all my power is capable of!
[13:18] ---
    We're going to do it again!
[13:20] ---
    All right!
[13:35] ---
    The power is gradually increasing.
[13:37] ---
    Keep it up, Gao!
[13:56] ---
    I cast!
[13:59] ---
    What's that?
[14:00] ---
    The Thunder Lance X Tempest Buster has...
[14:02] ---
    Evolved into something new?
[14:05] ---
    So this is Gao and Batzz's...
[14:07] ---
    New Impact?
[14:09] ---
    It looks like they've created
    something out of this world.
[14:11] ---
    Nin.
[14:19] ---
    You did it, Gao!
[14:21] ---
    Yeah... thanks to you.
[14:24] ---
    This is our new Impact...
[14:27] ---
    Turbulent Thunder Spear,
    X Tempest Ulti-Buster!
[14:35] ---
    I would like you to dispose of
    Gao Mikado's flag card.
[14:40] ---
    That's an order from Master Wisdom?
[14:42] ---
    Yes. Precisely so.
[14:45] ---
    I'm not really feeling
    enthused about this.
[14:47] ---
    Especially coming from you,
    a mere secretary.
[14:50] ---
    Then... Master Sakate.
[14:51] ---
    This time, I will ask you to
    dispose of the flag card.
[14:55] ---
    S-Sure. Leave it to me.
[14:58] ---
    I'll crush it, along with Gao Mikado!
[15:04] ---
    Master Sakate. I look forward to
    hearing good news from you.
[15:08] ---
    Ugh. That Grimoire rubs
    me the wrong way.
[15:11] ---
    But if it's Master Wisdom's
    orders, I can't refuse.
[15:16] ---
    You're as carefree as always.
[15:19] ---
    What?
[15:19] ---
    You really don't get your
    current situation, do you.
[15:23] ---
    You have been defeated by
    Gao Mikado twice in the past.
[15:27] ---
    What does that have to do with anything?
[15:29] ---
    If you fail once again...
[15:32] ---
    What will Master Wisdom think?
[15:35] ---
    Shut up! I'm not going to fail!
[15:38] ---
    Hey, if we're talking about failures, you've done
    the same thing when you were capturing monsters.
[15:42] ---
    And Keisetsu was with me
    at the Mirage Shrine...
[15:45] ---
    I won't deny those facts.
[15:47] ---
    But I immediately took care of Miserea,
    who interfered with my capture of monsters.
[15:52] ---
    I'm pretty sure that truly capable
    people don't fail twice in a row.
[15:58] ---
    When you make your third mistake,
    what conclusions will Master Wisdom make?
[16:04] ---
    You should consider that.
[16:06] ---
    Anyways, good luck!
[16:08] ---
    We'll be looking forward
    to your final report.
[16:11] ---
    Kid Ibuki!
[16:14] ---
    Hey, now.
[16:15] ---
    Is it just me, or are
    we in serious trouble?
[16:18] ---
    Zip it! You just keep your mouth shut!
[16:20] ---
    Ooh, scary.
[16:22] ---
    At this rate...
[16:23] ---
    My current life of good eats and bossing
    employees around will go up in smoke!
[16:32] ---
    That's it for today's lessons!
[16:34] ---
    Everyone, please be careful as
    you walk home from school.
[16:37] ---
    Yes sir!
[16:39] ---
    All right! School's out!
[16:40] ---
    Baku! Kuguru! Noboru!
    Let's go home.
[16:43] ---
    The school day is over.
[16:45] ---
    Another day of working hard.
[16:50] ---
    I've thought hard and come up with a deck that should
    maximize Thunder Emperor's Fangs' effectiveness.
[16:54] ---
    I gave him advice, too!
[16:56] ---
    Thank you!
    You guys are lifesavers.
[16:58] ---
    Gao! You forgot something!
[17:01] ---
    Huh?
[17:02] ---
    I forgot something?
[17:03] ---
    I found this under your desk.
[17:06] ---
    That's Gao's Core Deck Case.
[17:08] ---
    How could you forget
    something so important?
[17:10] ---
    There's no way I'd forget that.
[17:13] ---
    See?
[17:14] ---
    Oh! Maybe that's a fake?
[17:17] ---
    Let teacher have a closer look!
[17:19] ---
    Mr. Nitsuke?
[17:20] ---
    Hey! I got tired of waiting.
[17:23] ---
    Well done on another
    day of serious study!
[17:25] ---
    Batzz!
[17:26] ---
    What?
[17:27] ---
    Hmm?
[17:28] ---
    Huh?
[17:29] ---
    Gao's deck case?
[17:31] ---
    Oh, you have two of them?
[17:33] ---
    I get it. One for a rainy day,
    and one for a sunny day.
[17:36] ---
    I don't think that's it.
[17:37] ---
    Well then, everyone. See you!
[17:39] ---
    Hey!
[17:40] ---
    Excuse me!
[17:41] ---
    I won't let him get away!
[17:45] ---
    Dammit!
[17:46] ---
    I know your true identity!
[17:51] ---
    Dammit!
[17:53] ---
    Sakate!
[17:54] ---
    I thought so.
[17:55] ---
    And I was hoping to make
    you use this fake deck case.
[18:01] ---
    I guess that's Demon Lord
    Dragon Batzz for you.
[18:04] ---
    Gao Mikado. I've taken your new Flag card.
[18:08] ---
    And now I'll dispose of it for you.
[18:12] ---
    It's a fake?
[18:15] ---
    You really fell for it!
[18:18] ---
    That was amazing, Kanata!
[18:19] ---
    Your plan really worked!
[18:21] ---
    I figured that the Chaos Company goons
    would come after Gao's flag card, but...
[18:25] ---
    I never thought that he'd
    be tricked so easily.
[18:29] ---
    Here you go. The real deck case,
    that you asked me to keep for you.
[18:32] ---
    Thank you!
[18:33] ---
    You're making a fool of me again!
[18:36] ---
    Gao Mikado, I'm never
    forgiving you for this!
[18:39] ---
    I won't be satisfied until
    I crush you in a Buddyfight!
[18:42] ---
    I was hoping you'd say that.
    Sakate Onigashira!
[18:46] ---
    Wherever there are Buddyfights,
    you'll find me, Paruko Nanana!
[18:49] ---
    Today's Buddyfight isn't happening
    at Aibo Academy's fighting stage.
[18:53] ---
    It's in the schoolyard instead!
[18:55] ---
    As all of the students fix their eyes
    on the scene, the fighters are...
[18:58] ---
    World Number One,
    Gao Mikado versus...
[19:01] ---
    Sakate Onigashira, who also
    participated in the Buddy Masters!
[19:06] ---
    Oh! This is a disaster!
[19:08] ---
    Truly terrible!
[19:10] ---
    A Buddyfight has broken out?
[19:12] ---
    As Aibo Academy's Student
    Council President...
[19:13] ---
    I, Magoroku Shido, didn't give
    permission for a special event like this!
[19:17] ---
    Hey, hey, hey, hey!
[19:19] ---
    Stop this Buddyfight right now!
[19:22] ---
    You're in the way!
[19:25] ---
    Devour a human and become an Oni.
[19:27] ---
    Transcend an Oni and become a deity!
[19:30] ---
    Luminize! Scroll of the
    Ghoul Deity, Hades Rascal!
[19:34] ---
    Rumble and tremble!
[19:35] ---
    The dragon's roar that shudders the earth!
[19:40] ---
    Luminize!
[19:42] ---
    Thunderous Warlords Alliance!
[19:46] ---
    That's impossible!
[19:47] ---
    He's luminized with 7 hand cards?
[19:49] ---
    Buddy...fight!
[19:52] ---
    Raise the flag!
[19:54] ---
    Katana World!
[19:56] ---
    Thunder Emperor's Fangs!
[19:58] ---
    Regardless of the card's World,
    I can use all Thunder Empire cards.
[20:01] ---
    And I start with seven hand cards,
    11 life, and 1 gauge!
[20:06] ---
    A-A-Amazing! Starting
    with seven hand cards?
[20:08] ---
    This new flag overturns everything we thought
    we knew about the world of Buddyfight!
[20:12] ---
    I have the first move.
[20:14] ---
    Charge and draw!
[20:16] ---
    I call Thwackdrill to the center!
[20:21] ---
    I'll thwack you far, far away!
[20:25] ---
    So a Danger World monster
    is showing its face already.
[20:29] ---
    Thwackdrill! Attack the fighter!
[20:31] ---
    I'm going to thwack you!
[20:35] ---
    He's drilled away 3 life points!
[20:37] ---
    That's Danger World's Thwackdrill for you!
[20:39] ---
    His first attack really hit the mark!
[20:41] ---
    I have absolute confidence in this
    new Thunder Empire deck.
[20:45] ---
    Gao is sure to use my
    masterpiece to its best effect!
[20:49] ---
    Next, it's Sakate Onigashira's turn!
[20:52] ---
    It's just a random group
    that he gathered together.
[20:55] ---
    No big deal.
[20:57] ---
    My turn!
[20:58] ---
    Draw. Charge and draw!
[21:03] ---
    I call Pale Yellow Fiend,
    Kid Hoshiguma to the right!
[21:07] ---
    I will not permit you to
    interfere in Master Ibuki's plans.
[21:10] ---
    Kid Hoshiguma can add one of my
    hand cards to its soul, face down.
[21:15] ---
    I equip...
[21:18] ---
    Hidden Dark Arms, Yobigatana!
[21:22] ---
    A new item!
[21:23] ---
    I sense unusual fiendish
    energy in that sword.
[21:25] ---
    This Yobigatana has been passed down
    through the Onigashira clan for generations.
[21:29] ---
    Feel its power for yourself!
[21:34] ---
    Yobigatana's ability, activate.
[21:37] ---
    If I destroy an enemy
    monster using Yobigatana,
[21:40] ---
    I can look at the top four cards of my deck,
[21:43] ---
    and choose one to place in an
    Oni Assassin's soul face down.
[21:48] ---
    Do it, Kid Hoshiguma!
    Smash Gao Mikado to smithereens!
[21:53] ---
    Dark Arms! Steel Chained Ball!
[21:56] ---
    It's not over yet!
[21:58] ---
    Kid Hoshiguma! Double Attack!
[22:02] ---
    Dark Arms! Steel Chained Ball!
[22:09] ---
    Sakate Onigashira lands clean hits
    with every one of his attacks!
[22:13] ---
    So that's your Thunder Emperor's Fangs?
[22:18] ---
    Gao!
[22:19] ---
    I'm all right.
[22:21] ---
    The Guru gave me this Mirage Card.
[22:23] ---
    I'll show you the true power of
    the Thunder Emperor's Fangs!
[22:28] ---
    Well said, Gao.
[22:33] ---
    Our battle...
[22:35] ---
    Our new Thunder Empire's
    battle has just begun!
[22:40] ---
    This is today's most powerful card!
[22:43] ---
    Thunder Emperor's Fangs!
[22:45] ---
    It's a new flag card that lets you use all
    Thunder Empire attribute cards.
[22:49] ---
    It also lets you start with seven
    hand cards, 1 gauge, and 11 life.
[22:54] ---
    Collect Thunder Empire cards
    from many different worlds!
[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...
[23:06] ---
    Go!
[23:06] ---
    Paper! P-P-P-P-Paper!
[24:40] ---
    Sakate's Buddy evolved into
    "Shuten Demonic Deity" Kid Ibuki.
[24:44] ---
    Batzz, now is the time to show
    the results of our training!
[24:47] ---
    Next episode: Overturn versus Overkill!
    Unleash the X-Tempest Ulti-Buster!
