[00:00] ---
    The greatest Buddyfighter in the world!
[00:03] ---
    The WBC Cup World Championships will
    determine who's the Buddy Champion,
[00:07] ---
    and they've just begun, B!
[00:10] ---
    The second match
    of Block B's first round!
[00:13] ---
    Japan representative
    Gao Mikado versus
[00:16] ---
    America representative
    Devil Destroy Bigmachine!
[00:19] ---
    Gao Mikado's new deck,
    Bullets of the Sun,
[00:22] ---
    unleashed its full power
    through link attacks, B!
[00:26] ---
    He took down Devil
    Destroy Bigmachine and
[00:29] ---
    moved on to
    the second round!
[00:32] ---
    What sort of fight will these powerhouses
    from around the world show us?
[00:36] ---
    Can't wait to find out, B!
[00:38] ---
    Meow!
[00:40] ---
    Now it's time to raise the...
[00:42] ---
    Meowg!
[02:21] ---
    Why?
[02:22] ---
    Gao Mikado and
    Tasuku Ryuenji awakened it...
[02:28] ---
    So why can't I awaken
    the Dragon Force?
[02:35] ---
    Back then...
[02:36] ---
    I'm sure that I felt the Dragon Force
    on Cho-Taiyo Island.
[02:46] ---
    So...
[02:47] ---
    Why?
[02:52] ---
    Gaito.
[02:56] ---
    Zetta! Shocking Armored Battle Demon!
[03:03] ---
    This is amazing, bal!
[03:06] ---
    Bal never expected a place
    like this in the hotel, bal!
[03:10] ---
    There aren't any matches today, right?
[03:13] ---
    So today, we're going to
    hang out and have fun here!
[03:16] ---
    Wanna join us, Bal?
[03:17] ---
    But Bal doesn't have
    a swimsuit, bal.
[03:20] ---
    No need to worry about that!
[03:22] ---
    Would you like to rent
    a fashionable swimsuit?
[03:25] ---
    On days without matches,
[03:26] ---
    I take on odd jobs to earn
    some pocket money, B!
[03:29] ---
    Meow!
[03:30] ---
    Bal will go and find Gao, bal!
[03:33] ---
    I'm begging you, Gao Mikado.
    Tasuku Ryuenji.
[03:37] ---
    You're asking us...
[03:38] ---
    To tell you how we awakened
    the Dragon Force?
[03:43] ---
    Once, when we were
    on Cho-Taiyo Island,
[03:46] ---
    Gaito showed signs of awakening
    the Dragon Force.
[03:48] ---
    But he wasn't able to fully awaken
    it the way you two did.
[03:52] ---
    And his anguish over this
    is destroying his soul.
[03:56] ---
    Gaito wants the Dragon Force that badly?
[03:59] ---
    Does he need it for some special purpose?
[04:02] ---
    He wants it so he can
    become stronger, of course.
[04:04] ---
    But that's not all.
[04:06] ---
    So he has some other reason?
[04:09] ---
    In all probability...
[04:10] ---
    It's for my sake.
[04:12] ---
    For your sake?
[04:14] ---
    That's right.
[04:15] ---
    I have to surpass my father someday.
[04:21] ---
    I've challenged him many times before.
[04:25] ---
    Gaito is trying to help me...
[04:30] ---
    I shouldn't have said that.
[04:32] ---
    Please, forget I said anything.
[04:35] ---
    Hey, what kind of monster do
    you think Abygale's papa is?
[04:39] ---
    There's an old saying that baby
    frogs grow up to be frogs.
[04:41] ---
    So Abygale's father must be an Abygale.
[04:45] ---
    But a frog's baby is a tadpole.
[04:49] ---
    I see. Some monsters might look different
    as children than as adults, just like frogs.
[04:55] ---
    I understand, Abygale.
[04:57] ---
    I don't know if I can explain it well,
[05:00] ---
    but I'll tell him what it felt like when
    the Dragon Force awakened.
[05:04] ---
    There's no need for that.
[05:07] ---
    I have no intention of
    accepting anyone's help.
[05:10] ---
    Don't ever meddle like that again.
[05:13] ---
    Wait just a moment!
[05:14] ---
    You don't have to be so mean about it!
[05:17] ---
    Gaito, Abygale was...
[05:19] ---
    Silence.
[05:20] ---
    Abygale was doing it for you...
[05:21] ---
    I said, silence!
[05:23] ---
    Bal! Bal! Bal! Bal!
[05:27] ---
    Gao! Come with Bal, bal!
[05:29] ---
    Huh?
[05:29] ---
    What's going on?
[05:32] ---
    Come on, what are you doing?
[05:34] ---
    I'm not finished!
[05:37] ---
    Hey, wait a second!
[05:43] ---
    You're not allowed to run
    by the poolside, B!
[05:47] ---
    Bal can't stop, bal!
[05:48] ---
    What?
[05:54] ---
    We're saved...
[05:56] ---
    Huh?
[05:59] ---
    Bal can't reach the pool bottom, bal!
[06:01] ---
    Bal, calm down!
[06:03] ---
    Save Bal, bal!
[06:04] ---
    Can't breathe...
[06:11] ---
    What is this place?
[06:12] ---
    Looks like it's an indoor pool.
[06:15] ---
    Just what I'd expect from
    the World Buddy Stadium.
[06:21] ---
    What is it, Gaito?
[06:24] ---
    Could it be?
    Are you interested in this place?
[06:28] ---
    We're going back to our room.
[06:34] ---
    Wait, Abygale.
[06:36] ---
    Can we talk for a moment?
[06:42] ---
    When I heard that you wanted
    to have lunch with me,
[06:44] ---
    I suspected that something was up.
[06:47] ---
    So that's what you wanted to talk about.
[06:49] ---
    You want me to deliberately lose
    tomorrow's Buddyfight match.
[06:53] ---
    I'm saying this out of concern for you.
[06:55] ---
    In other words, it's a warning.
[06:57] ---
    My opponent in the match is
    Gaito Kurouzu and Abygale.
[07:02] ---
    Is that related to your warning?
[07:04] ---
    I have no comment.
[07:07] ---
    Well then.
[07:08] ---
    I refuse.
[07:16] ---
    The former leader is planning
    something again.
[07:19] ---
    In order to decide how I should respond,
    I need additional information.
[07:25] ---
    That's where you come in,
    as my special mission secretary.
[07:29] ---
    Devil Destroy Bigmachine.
[07:33] ---
    Leave it to me, boss!
[07:37] ---
    Hey, Abygale.
[07:39] ---
    Where are you taking us?
[07:41] ---
    I've found a good training ground to
    prepare us for tomorrow's match.
[07:54] ---
    What is the meaning of this, Abygale?
[07:57] ---
    If things continue like this,
    you'll lose tomorrow's match.
[08:00] ---
    What did you say?
[08:02] ---
    Your obsession with the Dragon Force is
    getting in the way of your Buddyfights.
[08:08] ---
    You need to relax a little, Gaito.
[08:10] ---
    That's why I brought you here.
[08:25] ---
    Gaito!
[08:27] ---
    This is more terrifying
    than I anticipated!
[08:48] ---
    Can you keep up with me?
[09:01] ---
    It's been a long time since
    I last felt like this.
[09:04] ---
    Gaito...
[09:06] ---
    Just think of this as me
    talking to myself.
[09:09] ---
    Gao and Tasuku said...
[09:13] ---
    I couldn't forgive Doctor Gara for
    the terrible things he did to Bal.
[09:17] ---
    The moment I felt my anger overwhelm me,
    the Dragon Force awakened.
[09:21] ---
    Bal could really sense
    Gao's feelings, bal!
[09:25] ---
    It was the same for us.
[09:27] ---
    I was about to be separated from Jack
    due to Wanaski's Buddy, Lone Remote.
[09:32] ---
    But Gao and Bal saved us.
[09:35] ---
    In that moment,
    the Dragon Force was awakened.
[09:38] ---
    So both cases involved
    the bond between Buddies.
[09:41] ---
    Unfortunately, that's all we
    can tell you right now.
[09:45] ---
    You and Gaito are totally in sync too!
[09:48] ---
    You'll be able to awaken
    the Dragon Force for sure!
[09:53] ---
    Then I'm going to talk to myself as well.
[09:56] ---
    I told you not to meddle.
[09:59] ---
    I withdraw those words.
[10:02] ---
    Gaito!
[10:04] ---
    Oh? So this is Abygale's true identity.
[10:08] ---
    This is an excellent intelligence report.
[10:10] ---
    I'm honored to receive
    your compliments.
[10:13] ---
    But a physical print-out is
    a waste of paper.
[10:16] ---
    Please be mindful in the future.
[10:17] ---
    Yes, sir!
[10:18] ---
    If you publicize this information
    before the Buddyfight match,
[10:21] ---
    they will lose their composure and your
    victory will be assured, Boss!
[10:27] ---
    I wouldn't do anything so wasteful.
[10:29] ---
    Huh?
[10:30] ---
    For me, defeating those two
    will be simplicity itself.
[10:38] ---
    WBC Cup World Championships, Block B,
    first round, third match, featuring...
[10:42] ---
    Japan representative, Gaito Kurouzu versus
    America representative, J Genesis!
[10:48] ---
    Now, it's time for
    the competitors to enter!
[10:50] ---
    First move goes to Gaito Kurouzu,
    who's here to prove that he's the strongest!
[10:55] ---
    Second move goes to the ultimate pragmatist
    who eradicates all wastefulness,
[10:59] ---
    J Genesis!
[11:01] ---
    Of course, the real one to watch
    in this match will be J Genesis!
[11:04] ---
    He's the new head of Gaen Financial Group,
    who is the sponsor of this tournament.
[11:08] ---
    What sort of strategy will he use?
[11:10] ---
    All eyes are on him, B!
[11:13] ---
    Meow meow!
[11:14] ---
    Good luck, Gaito!
[11:16] ---
    Don't lose, bal!
[11:21] ---
    Will Gaito be able to awaken
    the Dragon Force?
[11:24] ---
    I certainly hope so.
[11:27] ---
    Hey, what do you think of
    that Genesis guy's Buddy?
[11:31] ---
    It sure is one mysterious monster.
[11:33] ---
    Seriously, is that really a monster?
[11:38] ---
    He was selected as the new leader of
    Gaen Financial Group,
[11:40] ---
    and he's also a world
    champion Buddyfighter?
[11:43] ---
    He's quite something.
[11:44] ---
    But he's not really my type.
[11:48] ---
    The new head of
    Gaen Financial Group, huh.
[11:51] ---
    No matter who my opponent is,
    I'm the one who's destined to win.
[11:57] ---
    We're going to gain both victory and
    the Dragon Force through this Buddyfight!
[12:02] ---
    Are you watching, Kyoya Gaen?
[12:06] ---
    I'll show you that your warning
    was a waste of time.
[12:12] ---
    Will both players please
    luminize their decks?
[12:15] ---
    The dark hour has begun...
[12:18] ---
    Luminize,
    Hollow Black Dragon.
[12:23] ---
    Pay close attention, and observe!
[12:25] ---
    This is the revolutionary
    Buddyfight of a new era!
[12:28] ---
    Luminize!
    Innovation of Zetta!
[12:31] ---
    Buddy...
[12:33] ---
    Fight!
[12:36] ---
    Raise the flag!
[12:38] ---
    Darkness Dragon World!
[12:41] ---
    Hero World.
[12:44] ---
    Who will be the one to move
    on to the second round?
[12:49] ---
    Charge and draw.
[12:52] ---
    I call to the center.
[12:53] ---
    What a waste of time.
[12:55] ---
    Black Sleepless City, Dimmborgil!
[12:59] ---
    I want your light...
[13:01] ---
    Attack the fighter!
[13:03] ---
    Give me... your light!
[13:08] ---
    My turn is over.
[13:10] ---
    Gao and Tasuku both awakened the Dragon
    Force in the middle of a Buddyfight.
[13:15] ---
    Then, during this Buddyfight...
[13:17] ---
    Right.
[13:18] ---
    Draw.
    Charge and draw.
[13:22] ---
    Final Phase.
[13:24] ---
    What?
[13:25] ---
    Did he say Final Phase?
[13:27] ---
    U-U-Unbelievable!
[13:30] ---
    J Genesis has announced
    Final Phase right out of the gate!
[13:33] ---
    Is he going to do an
    unexpected Impact Call?
[13:36] ---
    I pay 2 gauge and
    Impact Transform!
[13:48] ---
    Armored Battle Demon, Zetta!
[13:51] ---
    Armored Battle Demon?
[13:53] ---
    Zetta?
[13:54] ---
    He suddenly transformed into
    an Impact Monster?
[13:57] ---
    Meow!
[13:58] ---
    Is this for real?
[13:59] ---
    Impact Transform?
[14:00] ---
    It's like the fighter himself has
    Transformed into an Impact Monster!
[14:04] ---
    Impact call to the right.
[14:06] ---
    There's more?
[14:08] ---
    J Genesis has an Impact Monster?
[14:10] ---
    Flame Demon, Elytron!
[14:14] ---
    Elytron is on the scene!
[14:15] ---
    Ability, activate!
[14:17] ---
    Burn! Flaming Fist,
    Zestus Brachioras!
[14:22] ---
    Dimmborgil in the center is
    destroyed by Elytron's effect!
[14:26] ---
    Zetta's ability.
[14:28] ---
    Every time an Impact Monster is called,
    Zetta's critical increases by 1.
[14:33] ---
    In addition, the monster I've Impact
    Transformed into cannot be destroyed,
[14:37] ---
    or returned to my hand cards!
[14:39] ---
    And I Impact Call to the left!
[14:42] ---
    Water Demon, Kynoeides!
[14:44] ---
    Kynoeides, barging in!
[14:46] ---
    Just like when Elytron was called,
    Zetta's critical increases by 1!
[14:50] ---
    Hey, I call time out, B!
[14:52] ---
    He keeps doing Impact Calls and
    bringing out Impact Monsters, but...
[14:57] ---
    Does this guy even know
    the rules of the game?
[15:02] ---
    I only use Impact Monsters.
[15:05] ---
    But in exchange, as I can Impact Call
    as many times as I like during my turn.
[15:09] ---
    I call it... Hard Impact Tactics.
[15:12] ---
    As many times as you like?
    Are you serious?
[15:14] ---
    Meow meow?
[15:15] ---
    Hard Impact Tactics?
[15:18] ---
    In other words, a strategy that
    uses Impact cards only!
[15:21] ---
    An Impact-card only strategy?
[15:24] ---
    An ability that lets him call Impact
    Monsters as often as he likes.
[15:28] ---
    That's not fair, bal!
[15:30] ---
    Gaito...
[15:38] ---
    Elytron! Kynoeides!
    Link attack with me!
[15:42] ---
    Right!
[15:44] ---
    Gaito!
[15:48] ---
    Begone, weakling!
[15:49] ---
    Become dust!
[15:52] ---
    I have no enemy!
[15:55] ---
    An overwhelming 6 damage!
[15:57] ---
    Thanks to an unbelievable
    series of Impact Calls,
[15:59] ---
    Gaito has lost a whole lot of life at once!
[16:03] ---
    So strong...
[16:04] ---
    That Armored Battle Demon, Zetta...
[16:06] ---
    It's terrifyingly strong.
[16:09] ---
    Gaito.
[16:10] ---
    There's no mistake about it.
    He's strong.
[16:13] ---
    That's why, if you make it
    through this fight, surely that power...
[16:16] ---
    The Dragon Force will awaken!
[16:19] ---
    My turn isn't over yet.
[16:23] ---
    Fake Replica Weapon, Gemclone!
[16:26] ---
    Another one?
[16:27] ---
    Impact Buddy Call to the center!
[16:32] ---
    Null attribute.
[16:33] ---
    Size 0, 0 power, 1000 defense,
    and a critical of 0.
[16:38] ---
    Impact Buddy Call,
    but it has a critical of 0?
[16:42] ---
    I'll show you.
[16:44] ---
    A new frontier,
    where no one has gone before!
[16:48] ---
    What?
[16:51] ---
    Please!
    Awaken, Dragon Force!
[16:54] ---
    I need you...
[16:55] ---
    Please, give me power!
[16:58] ---
    Gaito.
[17:01] ---
    I pay 1 gauge and
    activate Gemclone's ability.
[17:03] ---
    I transform Gemclone into
    Bal Burst Smasher.
[17:08] ---
    What?
[17:10] ---
    How can he use a Dragon World
    card with a Hero World deck?
[17:13] ---
    Meow? Meow?
[17:24] ---
    There's a Bal over there too, bal!
[17:25] ---
    If that Bal is Bal, then who's
    this Bal over here, bal?
[17:30] ---
    Calm down, Bal.
[17:31] ---
    Why does he have Bal Burst Smasher?
[17:34] ---
    When I have Gemclone as my Buddy,
    I can use Impact Monsters from all worlds.
[17:41] ---
    And if I pay 1 gauge...
[17:43] ---
    I can place any monster from my hand cards
    on top of Gemclone and call them!
[17:49] ---
    This is Gemclone's ability,
    which will revolutionize Buddyfight!
[17:57] ---
    It can't be!
    It's impossible!
[17:59] ---
    G-Gaito.
[18:08] ---
    Bal Burst...
[18:10] ---
    Smasher!
[18:18] ---
    Game End...
[18:19] ---
    Winner...
[18:20] ---
    J Genesis!
[18:23] ---
    Now it's over.
[18:27] ---
    He's taken down Gaito Kurouzu with an
    unbelievable one-turn victory!
[18:30] ---
    Moving on to the second round is
    America representative J Genesis!
[18:34] ---
    Gemclone is definitely
    a monster to watch out for.
[18:37] ---
    That Zetta is going to
    be major trouble, too!
[18:40] ---
    Gaito...
[18:44] ---
    Mister J.
[18:47] ---
    You ignored my warning.
[18:50] ---
    I'm sure that you're
    going to regret it.
[18:56] ---
    I'm sure of it.
[18:58] ---
    By breaking Gaito Kurouzu's
    heart beyond repair,
[19:01] ---
    I've thrown your plans into disarray.
[19:06] ---
    Forget gaining the Dragon Force...
[19:08] ---
    I lost in the first round! Me!
[19:11] ---
    First of all, calm down!
[19:12] ---
    Don't order me around!
[19:14] ---
    Gaito!
[19:15] ---
    It's your fault.
[19:18] ---
    It's your fault that I can't awaken
    the Dragon Force!
[19:23] ---
    Gaito...
[19:25] ---
    Get out!
[19:35] ---
    I was waiting for you.
[19:39] ---
    What do you want?
[19:41] ---
    I have something important
    to discuss with you.
[19:43] ---
    Yes. Something to discuss with you,
    the one who inherited Azi Dahaka's power.
[19:48] ---
    What did you just say?
[19:56] ---
    Where are you?
    J Genesis!
[20:00] ---
    Where have you gone?
[20:02] ---
    I am about to commence a grand plan.
[20:06] ---
    This is...
[20:08] ---
    This sample was taken from
    a part of Azi Dahaka's body.
[20:13] ---
    The first stage of my plan
    has been completed.
[20:17] ---
    I have created an artificial monster that
    has inherited Azi Dahaka's power,
[20:23] ---
    and will grow stronger every
    time that it fights.
[20:25] ---
    I shall name this monster...
[20:27] ---
    Black Death Dragon, Abygale.
[20:30] ---
    I-It can't be!
[20:32] ---
    Your body isn't the only thing
    that was created artificially.
[20:35] ---
    Your DNA. Your psyche.
[20:39] ---
    Everything was created
    according to Kyoya's design.
[20:42] ---
    You're lying!
[20:44] ---
    Otherwise, the many times that
    I challenged Azi Dahaka...
[20:47] ---
    Those urges were also programmed
    into you by Kyoya.
[20:51] ---
    You continued to fight,
    never knowing any of this.
[20:54] ---
    And you drew Gaito Kurouzu,
    an innocent bystander, into your dark fate.
[20:59] ---
    Because Gaito met you, his destiny became
    warped and he turned to the dark side.
[21:04] ---
    And this warping will continue.
[21:07] ---
    Unless you cancel
    your Buddy registration.
[21:26] ---
    I wonder how J Genesis got his hands
    on that Bal Burst Smasher.
[21:30] ---
    Bal doesn't remember
    giving it to him, bal.
[21:38] ---
    What's wrong with him?
[21:39] ---
    Abygale... is crying, bal!
[21:40] ---
    Huh?
[21:41] ---
    Hey, wait!
[21:43] ---
    Bal!
[21:46] ---
    If you're going to Gaito's room,
    I advise against it.
[21:49] ---
    Why, bal?
[21:50] ---
    Right now, he won't listen
    to a word that we say.
[21:53] ---
    We must have faith in them,
    and watch over them from a distance.
[21:56] ---
    But...
[21:57] ---
    Bal is worried, bal.
[21:59] ---
    Senior Tasuku and Jack are right.
[22:01] ---
    Let's give those two
    some privacy for now.
[22:15] ---
    Farewell, Gaito.
[22:20] ---
    Gaito Kurouzu and
    Black Death Dragon, Abygale
[22:24] ---
    just cancelled
    their Buddy registration.
[22:27] ---
    You've lost a vital key to your plan.
[22:30] ---
    You won't be able to continue.
[22:32] ---
    A most efficient chain of events.
[22:40] ---
    Today's winning card!
[22:42] ---
    Armored Battle Demon, Zetta!
[22:44] ---
    That was super-awesome, bal!
[22:46] ---
    Bal wants to see it again, bal!
[22:48] ---
    During Final Phase, use this
    card to Impact Transform!
[22:51] ---
    You can't call any normal Monsters,
[22:54] ---
    but you can call Impact Monsters
    as often as you like!
[22:58] ---
    And every time an Impact Monster is
    called, the critical increases by 1!
[23:03] ---
    Successive Impact Calls, bal?
[23:05] ---
    If you put this card in your deck,
    you'll waste no effort.
[23:08] ---
    Bal's going to add it right away, bal.
[24:41] ---
    Bal and Gao's second round opponent is
    CAT representative None-Yet, bal!
[24:45] ---
    And the Buddy is Ozon B?
[24:48] ---
    Next episode: Meow Meow Meow!
    Meow meow, meow meow!
[24:51] ---
    Buddyfight, bal!
