[01:30] ---
    This is sudden,
    but here's our story so far!
[01:33] ---
    As Yuga's new Buddy, Garga has
    started living with the Mikado family.
[01:37] ---
    While Garga is settling in,
    Ranma and Yuga have a Buddyfight.
[01:40] ---
    Ranma's lack of a Buddy makes Yuga
    feel guilty and troubles Yuga's heart.
[01:45] ---
    But they reinforce their bonds of friendship, and are able
    to continue their Buddyfight without any reservations.
[02:01] ---
    Dearest Cross... I need you
    to lend me your strength.
[02:10] ---
    Skyseer Dragon, Cross Astrologia is here.
[02:12] ---
    There's a future I'd like
    to know more about.
[02:15] ---
    Please ask me whatever you wish.
[02:18] ---
    Regarding the human
    known as Yuga Mikado...
[02:21] ---
    I'd like you to foretell what his
    relationship to me will be in the future.
[02:25] ---
    You're showing interest in another person?
[02:27] ---
    What an unusual occurence.
[02:37] ---
    Clash of the Aces!
    Ace of Games versus Ace of Study!
[02:42] ---
    The view activity for Garga's
    videos has slowed down lately.
[02:45] ---
    Well, pretty much all he does is practice
    his swordsmanship and meditate.
[02:50] ---
    If all the videos look the same, we won't
    get more subscribers to our channel.
[02:55] ---
    I guess Deities of Combat
    don't play or take breaks.
[03:01] ---
    Oh boy.
[03:03] ---
    If only we could use Garga to make videos
    like you see on those variety shows on TV.
[03:08] ---
    I know!
[03:09] ---
    Speaking of TV, our school...
[03:13] ---
    It's time for our Sunday
    afternoon quiz show...
[03:15] ---
    Super Difficult Question Ace of Trivia.
[03:18] ---
    Today's challenger is the youngest contestant
    in the history of the entire program.
[03:23] ---
    Aibo Academy, Sixth Year, First Class.
    My name is Subaru Hoshiyomi.
[03:28] ---
    Young Subaru is a boy genius who gets top grades in
    all of his classes, and is known as the Ace of Study!
[03:35] ---
    Isn't that right, Subaru?
[03:37] ---
    I can't determine whether
    or not I'm a genius...
[03:40] ---
    But it's true that there are people
    who call me the Ace of Study.
[03:45] ---
    The Ace of Study, huh...
[03:47] ---
    He really looks like a smart guy.
[03:50] ---
    Garga, come check this out.
[03:51] ---
    Someone from the same
    school as us is on a quiz show.
[03:55] ---
    I have no interest in that.
[03:57] ---
    But a quiz show is where you compete
    over who's smarter. Like combat of the mind.
[04:02] ---
    Did you say combat?
[04:04] ---
    If there's combat, I can't ignore it!
[04:06] ---
    I shall also participate!
[04:10] ---
    All right, Subaru.
[04:11] ---
    Are you ready?
[04:12] ---
    Yes.
[04:14] ---
    The first question is a
    mathematical question.
[04:15] ---
    It's a topological theorem about
    the characterization of the 3-sphere...
[04:21] ---
    Wh-What is all this?
[04:24] ---
    There's no way anyone
    would know the answer.
[04:26] ---
    I mean... was that even in English?
[04:30] ---
    The Poincaré conjecture.
[04:32] ---
    That's correct.
[04:33] ---
    He's not the Ace of Study for nothing.
[04:36] ---
    Answering such a difficult question...
[04:38] ---
    This guy really is aces!
[04:41] ---
    The second question is
    on the topic of science.
[04:43] ---
    The velocity of galaxies receding from
    the Earth is proportional to their distance...
[04:47] ---
    You mean Hubble's Law.
[04:48] ---
    Correct.
[04:51] ---
    The topic of the third question is history.
[04:53] ---
    The famous quote the Earth is blue...
[04:54] ---
    Ostroumov.
[04:56] ---
    Correct.
[04:57] ---
    The fourth question is
    from the category of art.
[04:59] ---
    In modern art...
[05:00] ---
    Black Hole M-Spheres.
[05:02] ---
    The fifth question is
    about music. England...
[05:04] ---
    Gustav Holst.
[05:08] ---
    Amazing! Amazing!
[05:09] ---
    He's answered all of
    the questions correctly!
[05:11] ---
    Young Subaru has won a
    special Perfect Answer prize.
[05:14] ---
    It's this state-of-the-art telescope!
[05:16] ---
    Thank you.
[05:18] ---
    My, this young man is quite something.
[05:20] ---
    After this commercial break,
    our next challenger.
[05:26] ---
    Wow, Subaru was incredible.
[05:31] ---
    Hey, why have you been so
    angry for the last while?
[05:34] ---
    As the Deity of Combat,
    I loathe the word defeat.
[05:38] ---
    And yet I lost to that child, Subaru!
[05:43] ---
    Lost? You mean that
    quiz show we just watched?
[05:45] ---
    What else would I be talking about?
[05:51] ---
    Farewell!
[06:01] ---
    Hey, Yuga!
[06:02] ---
    I just dug up some
    amazing info on the internet!
[06:05] ---
    Amazing info? What's that?
[06:06] ---
    He keeps it secret at school,
    but Subaru is a Buddyfighter too!
[06:11] ---
    The Ace of Study?
[06:13] ---
    Let's have a Buddyfight with Subaru!
[06:16] ---
    I call it, the Ace of Games
    versus the Ace of Study!
[06:19] ---
    A video like that is guaranteed to get us
    more subscribers to our channel, right?
[06:23] ---
    I like that!
[06:25] ---
    I want to see it too!
[06:26] ---
    All right! Now that it's settled, we've got
    to start negotiations with the man himself!
[06:36] ---
    What's wrong?
[06:38] ---
    We want to ask Subaru what
    it was like to be on TV, but...
[06:41] ---
    When he glares at us like that,
    we can't get close to him.
[06:44] ---
    That's nonsense.
[06:51] ---
    It's true.
[06:53] ---
    It's like there's an invisible wall.
[06:55] ---
    An invisible wall?
[06:57] ---
    Oh. I remember now.
[07:00] ---
    You're Ranma Kakogawa from second class.
[07:03] ---
    Huh? You know me?
[07:05] ---
    Could the Ace of Study be a fan of RanGa Channel?
    Do you want my autograph?
[07:11] ---
    If I recall correctly...
    In the second grade...
[07:14] ---
    There was a science quiz where we were
    asked to draw the offspring of a frog.
[07:18] ---
    And you drew...
[07:21] ---
    Oh yeah! That happened, all right.
[07:23] ---
    That answer was so foolish,
    you stayed in my memory.
[07:27] ---
    Why you!
[07:29] ---
    How dare you blab about
    someone else's embarrassing past!
[07:32] ---
    All I did was state the facts.
[07:37] ---
    It's time to head back to our classroom.
[07:39] ---
    But we haven't asked him
    if he wants to Buddyfight!
[07:42] ---
    Just leave that to me!
[07:49] ---
    I heard he was in the library, but...
[08:00] ---
    There he is.
[08:03] ---
    Hey!
[08:04] ---
    My name's Yuga Mikado.
[08:10] ---
    Incredible.
[08:11] ---
    I really can't move my legs.
[08:13] ---
    All right, then...
[08:16] ---
    Slide, slide, slide...
[08:26] ---
    I'd like you to have a Buddyfight with me!
[08:32] ---
    You play Buddyfight too, right?
[08:35] ---
    Once in a while.
[08:36] ---
    I participate in some tournaments
    that the card shop hosts.
[08:39] ---
    Why don't you play at school?
[08:43] ---
    I want to have Buddyfights in which
    the Buddyfighters help each other improve.
[08:46] ---
    But unfortunately, there are no
    opponents like that at this academy.
[08:51] ---
    That's my opinion.
[08:54] ---
    So I'm sorry, but...
[08:55] ---
    What?
[08:56] ---
    You can't tell if you haven't tried!
[09:00] ---
    I saw you on that quiz show yesterday!
    It was incredible!
[09:04] ---
    But you know...
[09:05] ---
    But what?
[09:06] ---
    You may know a lot, but I'll bet
    you don't know how strong I am.
[09:10] ---
    Besides, there might be someone even stronger
    at this academy that you don't know about!
[09:15] ---
    Not knowing all that...
[09:17] ---
    It seems like a real shame.
[09:22] ---
    That might be true.
[09:24] ---
    All right! It's decided!
[09:26] ---
    However...
[09:27] ---
    You won't be able to win, no matter what.
[09:29] ---
    You sure are brimming with confidence.
[09:31] ---
    How can you be so certain?
[09:33] ---
    Right now, you're far too
    ignorant about Buddyfight.
[09:37] ---
    And one more thing...
[09:38] ---
    My fortune-telling has also
    predicted Subaru's victory.
[09:45] ---
    This is my Buddy, Skyseer Dragon,
    Cross Astrologia.
[09:48] ---
    Please, call me Cross.
[09:51] ---
    I act as Subaru's Buddy, while also
    conducting research into astrological science.
[09:56] ---
    A-Astrological sci-science?
[09:59] ---
    It combines the art of astrology with
    scientific knowledge to forecast the future,
[10:04] ---
    and is one of the secret
    skills of Star Dragon World.
[10:07] ---
    That is Astrological Science.
[10:09] ---
    Sounds interesting!
[10:11] ---
    Let's test how accurate your
    fortune-telling is, by having a Buddyfight!
[10:15] ---
    I will battle as well!
[10:17] ---
    I will undo the humiliation of last
    night's quiz through a Buddyfight!
[10:21] ---
    After classes are over at Aibo Academy,
    it's Buddyfighting Time!
[10:24] ---
    Today, we have the
    well-known Yuga Mikado, and...
[10:26] ---
    Recently revealing himself to be
    a Buddyfighter, it's the boy genius!
[10:29] ---
    Subaru Hoshiyomi is his opponent!
[10:35] ---
    Don't lose, big brother!
[10:37] ---
    The Ace of Games is
    battling the Ace of Study!
[10:40] ---
    I think we're going to
    get some great footage!
[10:45] ---
    Celestial Spheres...
    The guidance dragons.
[10:50] ---
    Luminize, Triangulum Galaxy!
[10:55] ---
    A Deity's Dragon Brigade descends!
[11:00] ---
    Luminize, Dradeity!
[11:04] ---
    Buddy...fight!
[11:06] ---
    Raise the flag!
[11:09] ---
    Star Dragon World!
[11:11] ---
    Dragon World!
[11:14] ---
    Skyseer Dragon, Cross Astrologia!
[11:18] ---
    Gargantua Dragon!
[11:21] ---
    I'm going to win for sure!
[11:36] ---
    Draw.
[11:38] ---
    Charge and draw.
[11:40] ---
    I call Govern Star Dragon,
    Bordure to the center.
[11:46] ---
    Please, take whatever item you need.
[11:48] ---
    Due to Bordure's effect, I add one
    item card from my deck to my hand.
[11:52] ---
    I call Guardseer Dragon,
    Gyron to the left.
[11:56] ---
    I shall respond to
    the voice that calls me.
[11:59] ---
    Gyron. Attack the fighter.
[12:01] ---
    Prepare yourself!
[12:09] ---
    That's it for my turn.
[12:14] ---
    Draw!
[12:15] ---
    Charge and draw!
[12:19] ---
    I equip! Deity Dragon Sword, Garblade!
[12:23] ---
    I call Garcat to the left!
[12:25] ---
    I'm gonna do it! Gonna do it!
    Gonna do it, cat!
[12:27] ---
    All right!
[12:29] ---
    I Buddy call Gargantua
    Dragon to the right!
[12:35] ---
    All enemies are powerless before my blade!
[12:38] ---
    Yuga Mikado starts his first turn by calling
    Garga, setting up an all-out attack!
[12:43] ---
    Looks like he has every intention
    of finishing this fight here and now!
[12:47] ---
    Garcat! Attack Bordure!
[12:48] ---
    Here I go, meow!
[12:50] ---
    Meow!
[12:51] ---
    What's this, meow!
[12:55] ---
    You're going the wrong way!
[12:57] ---
    I'm being pulled this way, cat!
[12:59] ---
    When Gyron is on the left, he can
    draw the opponent's attack to himself.
[13:04] ---
    Cat Claws!
[13:08] ---
    Not only did he redirect the opponent's attack to himself,
    Gyron also stayed on the field thanks to Soulguard!
[13:12] ---
    As a result, Garcat's attack
    was absolutely pointless!
[13:19] ---
    This is my fate...
[13:22] ---
    Double Attack!
[13:23] ---
    I cast!
[13:24] ---
    Mars Barrier.
[13:28] ---
    Garga! Attack Bordure!
[13:30] ---
    I hear and obey.
[13:36] ---
    Double Attack!
[13:37] ---
    This time, attack the fighter!
[13:44] ---
    Gargantua Dragon!
[13:45] ---
    G.Evo, activate!
[13:48] ---
    G.Evo! Here it comes!
[13:50] ---
    Change!
[13:51] ---
    Gargantua Dragon, Blast Mode!
[13:57] ---
    Blast Mode!
[14:01] ---
    This is sudden,
    but let me explain!
[14:03] ---
    Subaru currently has 8 life remaining!
[14:06] ---
    Garga's critical is a total of 8 as well.
[14:08] ---
    In addition, his attacks
    cannot be nullified.
[14:12] ---
    At this moment, Yuga was certain!
[14:15] ---
    With this move, he could win!
[14:16] ---
    However!
[14:17] ---
    Let's do this, Garga!
[14:19] ---
    In Buddyfight...
[14:20] ---
    There are many cards that prevent
    the opponent from attacking.
[14:23] ---
    What?
[14:24] ---
    If your opponent has an attack that can't be nullified,
[14:27] ---
    you just have to make sure they
    don't attack in the first place!
[14:30] ---
    That was Subaru's thought!
[14:32] ---
    I pay 1 life and cast!
[14:34] ---
    Crystallization Phenomenon!
[14:42] ---
    What?
[14:42] ---
    M-My body...
[14:44] ---
    I can't move...
[14:45] ---
    What did you say?
[14:47] ---
    Crystallization Phenomenon...
[14:48] ---
    Has an ability that nullifies all of a card's abilities,
    and makes that card unable to attack.
[14:54] ---
    You may rely on Garga as your lifeline,
    but now he can't do anything.
[15:01] ---
    This is an unpredictable turn of events!
[15:03] ---
    Yuga Mikado has had Garga, the ace
    up his sleeve, completely blocked!
[15:10] ---
    That's it for my turn.
[15:16] ---
    An opponent that can
    block my every move...
[15:19] ---
    How can I battle against him?
[15:22] ---
    My turn.
[15:24] ---
    Draw.
[15:26] ---
    Charge and draw.
[15:30] ---
    I equip!
[15:31] ---
    Seerbow, Babylon.
[15:38] ---
    I call Govern Star Dragon,
    Fret to the left.
[15:41] ---
    I am honored that you called upon me.
[15:45] ---
    I place the top card of my deck in his soul as I Buddy
    call Skyseer Dragon, Cross Astrologia to the center!
[15:53] ---
    I will read what is written in the stars,
    and bring victory to Subaru.
[16:03] ---
    Skyseer Dragon, Cross Astrologia.
[16:05] ---
    Size 2. 6000 power,
    5000 defense, and a critical of 2.
[16:10] ---
    This high-flying astrodragon has
    perfected astrological science!
[16:20] ---
    Having gained the light of three stars...
[16:22] ---
    A great triangle appears in the sky above!
[16:26] ---
    Activate! Galaxy Formation!
[16:31] ---
    I know this is sudden, but let
    me break this down for you!
[16:34] ---
    When there are monsters in the center and left positions,
    and the Buddyfighter has an item equipped...
[16:38] ---
    All cards on the field have their critical
    increased by 1, and they all gain Penetrate.
[16:44] ---
    That is the ability possessed by
    Skyseer Dragon, Cross Astrologia.
[16:47] ---
    The ability called Galaxy Formation!
[16:51] ---
    I cast. Notice: Enhancement Tactic.
[16:59] ---
    Cross. Babylon. Fret.
    All of them gain 3000 power.
[17:04] ---
    Fret. Attack the fighter.
[17:16] ---
    U-U-Unbelievable!
[17:18] ---
    Babylon can attack even when
    there's a monster in the center!
[17:21] ---
    I cast! Deity Green Dragon's Shield!
[17:27] ---
    He uses a spell to nullify the attack!
[17:29] ---
    And he gains 3 life!
[17:31] ---
    That's the way to do it! Hold on, Yuga!
[17:33] ---
    When Galaxy Formation is completed,
    Babylon gains Double Attack.
[17:45] ---
    Cross! Attack the fighter as well.
[17:47] ---
    Please, leave it to me.
[17:53] ---
    I cast! Blue Dragon Shield!
[17:55] ---
    Yuga Mikado uses defense spells
    in a desperate attempt at survival!
[17:59] ---
    I have Double Attack.
[18:02] ---
    This time, you'll feel my wrath!
[18:07] ---
    Yuga!
[18:12] ---
    When Galaxy Formation is
    complete, I can use this card.
[18:18] ---
    Final Phase.
[18:20] ---
    I cast!
[18:21] ---
    Tri-Star Decision!
[18:48] ---
    Impact...
[18:50] ---
    Tri-star Decision.
[19:03] ---
    Game End!
[19:05] ---
    Subaru Hoshiyomi is the victor!
[19:07] ---
    Eveything is mental.
[19:09] ---
    The Ace of Studies is victorious, chu!
[19:11] ---
    Shine forth, star of glory.
[19:14] ---
    The Ace of Games... couldn't win.
[19:17] ---
    But it sure was an incredible Buddyfight!
[19:20] ---
    I... lost...
[19:26] ---
    Thanks for having a Buddyfight with me!
[19:28] ---
    I'm annoyed that I couldn't win,
    but I had a lot of fun.
[19:31] ---
    Me...
[19:34] ---
    As a Buddyfighter,
    your skill level is not that high yet.
[19:38] ---
    If you want to battle me as an equal,
    there are loads of things that you should learn.
[19:42] ---
    That's an awful thing to say.
[19:44] ---
    I only stated the facts.
[19:49] ---
    I hope you'll have a Buddyfight
    with me again sometimes!
[19:56] ---
    I'll think about it.
[19:59] ---
    As usual... when someone asks you
    something sincerely, you just can't say no.
[20:10] ---
    Garga?
[20:12] ---
    Hey!
[20:13] ---
    What's wrong, Garga?
[20:14] ---
    What's his problem?
[20:28] ---
    I finally found you.
[20:30] ---
    I've been looking all over for you, Garga.
[20:32] ---
    You must be hungry.
[20:33] ---
    Now, let's go home.
[20:35] ---
    Pay me no mind.
[20:36] ---
    Go home on your own.
[20:38] ---
    Don't be so depressed, just because
    you couldn't win a Buddyfight.
[20:42] ---
    What would an impudent
    child like you know?
[20:44] ---
    I have never lost in any battle!
[20:47] ---
    Oh? But didn't you lose to Subaru
    during that quiz show yesterday?
[20:52] ---
    Just kidding.
[20:53] ---
    But you shouldn't get all serious about it.
    You just have to win next time.
[20:58] ---
    Next time, you say?
[21:00] ---
    Yeah!
[21:01] ---
    And if next time doesn't work,
