**[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!
