[01:30] ---
    The Ace Buddyfighter Play-offs
    have entered the tournament finals,
[01:34] ---
    and the third match featured Masato Rikuo
    and Daijirou Kurayashiki and
[01:37] ---
    their long-standing grudge.
[01:39] ---
    I evolve Zerberos Zeed into
    Almighty Overlord, Zerberos Lost!
[01:43] ---
    I cast! Linkdragon Spirit!
[01:47] ---
    Daijirou was full of confidence as he headed into
    the match, powering up his newly-evolved Buddy.
[01:51] ---
    But his strength was no match for Masato and the
    Linkdragon Order's teamwork, and he was defeated.
[01:56] ---
    Daijirou left Vile Ranma's side and went off
    on his own, seeking to gain greater strength.
[02:07] ---
    Welcome to our cafe!
[02:09] ---
    Nice to see you, Yuga!
[02:10] ---
    Hi.
[02:12] ---
    Eden! It's been a while.
[02:14] ---
    Good day to you.
[02:16] ---
    What brings you here?
[02:17] ---
    Let me guess. Pizza?
    I'm sure it must be the pizza.
[02:20] ---
    We heard that this cafe not only serves
    delicious pizza, but fine tea as well.
[02:24] ---
    It seems the rumors were true.
[02:27] ---
    This tea is divine.
[02:29] ---
    Th-Thanks.
[02:33] ---
    Hey, Yuga. You're here already.
[02:35] ---
    Hi, Masato.
[02:36] ---
    We ran into each other
    right in front of the cafe.
[02:42] ---
    Come Back, My Friend!
    Casting A Spell With A Wish!
[02:48] ---
    I've gathered you here
    today for one reason only.
[02:50] ---
    We'd like your advice regarding
    Subaru's friend, Seiji Kido.
[02:56] ---
    Until now, I've continued to approach Seiji,
    trying to win him back from the Lost crew.
[03:02] ---
    Release Seiji.
[03:03] ---
    What?
[03:04] ---
    He's my dear friend.
[03:08] ---
    Seiji. I need to talk to you.
[03:10] ---
    Shut up. I don't want to hear it.
[03:14] ---
    Don't speak to me.
[03:18] ---
    But Seiji is still a member of the Lost crew.
[03:22] ---
    Subaru thought that he might be able to use the
    upcoming tournament finals to try and win back Seiji.
[03:27] ---
    But he hasn't been able to come up with any
    good ideas, and he doesn't know what to do.
[03:32] ---
    And so you came to us for advice.
[03:35] ---
    But this sounds like a complicated situation.
[03:37] ---
    What do you think, Yuga? Masato?
[03:39] ---
    It's a problem that even
    the Ace of Study can't solve.
[03:43] ---
    I'm sorry to intrude, but...
[03:45] ---
    Shouldn't the first step be for Master Subaru
    to express his feelings to Master Seiji?
[03:51] ---
    My feelings?
[03:52] ---
    It's as Gavriel says.
[03:55] ---
    Now, what methods could there
    be to express these feelings?
[03:58] ---
    That's what you should all think about.
[04:02] ---
    She's so amazing!
[04:04] ---
    Uh, Miko dear?
[04:07] ---
    Oh! I just thought of something great!
[04:10] ---
    You should use Ran-Ga Channel!
[04:12] ---
    Ran-Ga Channel? But how?
[04:13] ---
    Yeah! If we upload a video by Subaru to
    the channel, Seiji is sure to get the message!
[04:18] ---
    Nice! Brilliant idea!
    That's one way to do it.
[04:21] ---
    I've already thought of that.
[04:23] ---
    But I can't do that.
[04:26] ---
    What's wrong with his idea?
[04:27] ---
    I think it's a good idea too.
[04:29] ---
    It's true that it could be effective.
[04:31] ---
    But if I'm going to be on Ran-Ga Channel, I must
    entertain all the viewers with an awesome wacky video.
[04:39] ---
    I could never accomplish something so amazing!
[04:50] ---
    Ran! Ran! Ga-woo!
[04:53] ---
    Subaru isn't smiling at all.
[04:56] ---
    Are you sure he's okay with this?
[04:57] ---
    It's fine. Right now, Subaru is overjoyed, as he's fulfilling
    his dream of shouting "Ran! Ran! Ga-woo!" with his idols.
[05:03] ---
    Today's video is a special edition,
    guest-starring my best friend Subaru!
[05:08] ---
    I've got a message for Seiji Kido, who I'll be facing in
    the upcoming Ace Buddyfighter Play-offs tournament finals.
[05:14] ---
    But first...
[05:15] ---
    I'd like you enjoy this wacky video.
[05:18] ---
    Today's challenge is...
[05:22] ---
    Making a Buddyfight card you can eat! Yeah!
[05:28] ---
    I hope I haven't overstayed my welcome.
[05:30] ---
    The tea was delicious.
[05:32] ---
    I'll definitely be back for more.
[05:38] ---
    Her smile was so elegant!
[05:40] ---
    I bet it would be awesome
    to have a big sister like her!
[05:43] ---
    I can't believe you, Miko dear!
[05:45] ---
    Has she forgotten about me, her own Buddy?
[05:47] ---
    So jealous!
[05:49] ---
    All right! Now my mom and
    Cross are going to help us!
[05:53] ---
    Sorry for the trouble.
[05:55] ---
    Oh, I don't mind.
[05:56] ---
    Mom! Hurry up!
[05:59] ---
    Coming!
[06:01] ---
    Hi there! I'm the single flower blooming
    in the world of PalTube! Paruko Mikado!
[06:05] ---
    Remember that name!
[06:07] ---
    Yeah!
[06:10] ---
    First, you'll need to make an enlarged
    copy of your choice of Buddyfight card.
[06:14] ---
    Then you place a piece of parchment
    paper over the card and tape it in place.
[06:18] ---
    And then!
[06:19] ---
    Use a permanent marker
    to trace the art on the card!
[06:23] ---
    Now you flip over the drawing on the parchment
    paper and place a clear plastic sheet on top.
[06:27] ---
    And you trace over the lines
    using a chocolate pen!
[06:33] ---
    Oh no!
[06:34] ---
    Ugh, same here!
[06:35] ---
    You youngsters need to learn how to focus.
[06:41] ---
    We're a little short on time,
    so here are some finished examples.
[06:57] ---
    The Ace Buddyfighter Play-offs!
    Shining in the spotlight is our champion...
[07:02] ---
    The genius chess prodigy, Seiji Kido, chu!
[07:08] ---
    That was a splendid Buddyfight.
[07:11] ---
    Now is the time for me
    to acknowledge the truth.
[07:13] ---
    You are stronger than me.
[07:15] ---
    And now it's time to award
    the champion his trophy!
[07:17] ---
    The presenter is this person, chu!
[07:25] ---
    That voice!
[07:26] ---
    It's been a while, hasn't it...
[07:29] ---
    Seiji!
[07:31] ---
    Because of you, I was
    devoured by Destroyer.
[07:35] ---
    How are you going to make it up to me?
[07:39] ---
    Da Dan!
[07:45] ---
    Hey!
[07:47] ---
    Wait for me!
[07:50] ---
    Stay back!
[07:55] ---
    You too shall become...
[07:56] ---
    My prey!
[08:08] ---
    It was just a dream.
[08:14] ---
    Seiji. Take a look at this.
[08:18] ---
    This is...
[08:24] ---
    The Buddyfight Card cakes are complete!
[08:27] ---
    Ah, they look delicious.
[08:29] ---
    Let's see how they taste!
[08:35] ---
    It's good!
[08:36] ---
    You're right!
[08:37] ---
    Indeed. Delectable.
[08:38] ---
    The chocolate and the sponge
    cake go together very well.
[08:41] ---
    I agree.
[08:42] ---
    Garga. How does it feel, eating yourself?
[08:44] ---
    Watch your phrasing!
[08:49] ---
    How ridiculous.
[08:50] ---
    A Buddyfight card that you can eat.
    Give it a try at home!
[08:54] ---
    Subaru, I'll leave the rest to you.
[08:57] ---
    Seiji. Before our Buddyfight,
    there's something I'd like to say to you.
[09:01] ---
    You are my friend.
[09:03] ---
    Come back to me soon.
[09:05] ---
    Next time, I hope you'll be there to eat
    this Buddyfight Card cake together with me.
[09:08] ---
    Well, we're off to make
    our next video, so...
[09:11] ---
    Check us out!
[09:15] ---
    Don't take Subaru's words seriously.
[09:18] ---
    He's merely an obstacle in your path.
[09:21] ---
    So you're telling me to stay a
    member of the Lost crew forever.
[09:25] ---
    Of course.
[09:26] ---
    I guess you must have
    reevaluated my worth.
[09:30] ---
    I was just bait to make
    Subaru join your crew, right?
[09:35] ---
    So you were listening...
[09:37] ---
    Subaru!
[09:39] ---
    Do you have any idea how
    much work I've had to do?
[09:42] ---
    I went to the trouble of recruiting that absolutely
    worthless Seiji in order to lure you in!
[09:47] ---
    A loser like him,
    who's only good at chess...
[09:49] ---
    He's of no use whatsoever!
[09:52] ---
    Subaru is stronger than me...
    that's what you believe, right?
[09:56] ---
    But that's not true.
[09:58] ---
    I'm going to defeat Subaru.
[10:00] ---
    And Vile Ranma...
    I'm going to defeat you, too.
[10:03] ---
    When I win, I'll take over your position.
    I'll be the king of the Lost crew!
[10:09] ---
    I like your spirit.
[10:13] ---
    I gave one of these to Daijirou too.
    It's a new Lostrizer card.
[10:17] ---
    Prepare for your Buddyfight against
    Subaru by using it to power up your Buddy.
[10:31] ---
    The Ace Buddyfighter Playoffs!
    It's the fourth match of the tournament finals!
[10:35] ---
    This match features the following
    two Buddyfighters, chu.
[10:38] ---
    The Ace of Study, Subaru Hoshiyomi, and the genius
    chess-playing prodigy, Seiji Kido will be facing off!
[10:43] ---
    Don't assume that my strength
    is the same as last time.
[10:47] ---
    What is that supposed to mean?
[10:49] ---
    You'll find out soon enough.
[10:56] ---
    Let the game begin!
[11:00] ---
    Luminize!
[11:01] ---
    Lostknight Control!
[11:04] ---
    I'm guided by the celestial sphere.
[11:06] ---
    And the guidance of dragon.
[11:08] ---
    Luminize!
[11:09] ---
    Triangulum Galaxy!
[11:11] ---
    Buddy...fight!
[11:14] ---
    Raise the flag!
[11:15] ---
    Star Dragon World.
[11:18] ---
    Star Dragon World.
[11:20] ---
    Skyseer Ardent Dragon,
    Cross Farnese Astrologia!
[11:25] ---
    Lostknight: Nero Schiltlance.
[11:30] ---
    Whoa! Seiji Kido's Buddy is different
    from the one he had before!
[11:34] ---
    Seiji's words earlier must have
    referred to his Buddy's power-up.
[11:39] ---
    But I'll still win.
[11:52] ---
    Draw. Charge and draw.
[11:55] ---
    I call Bishop: Giallo Mace to the center.
[11:59] ---
    Yes, Master Seiji.
[12:02] ---
    I Buddy call to the right.
    Lostknight: Nero Schiltlance.
[12:08] ---
    And I call another one!
[12:09] ---
    To the left, I call Lostknight:
    Nero Schiltlance.
[12:14] ---
    I pay 1 gauge and activate the ability of
    the Lostknight: Nero Schiltlance on the left.
[12:19] ---
    And I also activate the ability of the
    Lostnight: Nero Schiltlance on the right.
[12:22] ---
    Oppress, activate!
[12:29] ---
    I oppress the enemy's right area!
[12:32] ---
    I oppress the enemy's left area.
[12:38] ---
    What the what the what?
[12:39] ---
    Two Nero Schiltlance have oppressed Subaru
    Hoshiyomi's right and left area at the same time!
[12:44] ---
    Now he can't use the Galaxy Formation
    using the right or left area, chu!
[12:48] ---
    During my last Buddyfight with you, Cross's power-up
    meant that I couldn't block the Galaxy Formation.
[12:55] ---
    But this time, it's different!
[12:57] ---
    Now that your right and left areas have
    been taken over, even you can't do a thing!
[13:03] ---
    Nero Schiltlance in my enemy's
    right area! Attack Subaru!
[13:06] ---
    As you command!
[13:15] ---
    That's it for my turn.
[13:16] ---
    The Buddyfight has only just begun, and Subaru Hoshiyomi
    has already had his two Galaxy Formations blocked!
[13:21] ---
    How will he make it out of
    this disastrous situation?
[13:24] ---
    What should Subaru do?
[13:26] ---
    I don't know...
[13:27] ---
    All he can do is destroy Nero Schiltlance.
[13:31] ---
    Draw. Charge and draw.
[13:33] ---
    I Buddy call Skyseer Ardent Dragon,
    Cross Farnese Astrologia to the center.
[13:41] ---
    Behold my brilliant form!
[13:48] ---
    I equip!
[13:49] ---
    Skyseer Bow! Kaus Alnasl!
[13:53] ---
    Cross. Attack the Nero
    Schiltlance on my right.
[13:57] ---
    Leave it to me.
[13:58] ---
    Taste my wrath!
[14:01] ---
    I pay 1 gauge and activate
    Nero Schiltlance's ability!
[14:13] ---
    What just happened?
[14:15] ---
    Now that Nero Schiltlance has powered up, he has
    the ability to stay on the field if I pay 1 gauge.
[14:21] ---
    What shall we do? Do you want me to use
    my Double Attack to attack Nero Schiltlance?
[14:26] ---
    It's not possible to destroy him.
[14:28] ---
    Cross, attack Giallo Mace!
[14:31] ---
    Leave it to me!
[14:36] ---
    I use Alnasl to attack the fighter.
[14:43] ---
    That's it for my turn.
[14:45] ---
    If he can't destroy Nero Schiltlance...
[14:48] ---
    He's in big trouble.
[14:50] ---
    Now it's Seiji Kido's turn.
[14:52] ---
    Once again, he calls Giallo Mace to the center!
[14:55] ---
    He equips Grandmaster Cane and...
[14:57] ---
    Nero Schiltlance in my enemy's right area!
[14:59] ---
    Attack Cross!
[15:01] ---
    Take this!
[15:06] ---
    Nero Schiltlance in my enemy's left area!
[15:08] ---
    Now it's your turn!
[15:10] ---
    This will finish you.
[15:15] ---
    Cross!
[15:16] ---
    Cross has been destroyed!
[15:18] ---
    Now Subaru Hoshiyomi's
    center is wide open!
[15:20] ---
    Grandmaster Cane's ability, activate.
[15:22] ---
    The Nero Schiltlance in my enemy's
    right area stands once more...
[15:25] ---
    And I deal 1 damage to my opponent!
[15:32] ---
    Nero Schiltlance in
    my enemy's right area...
[15:34] ---
    Attack Subaru!
[15:40] ---
    Giallo Mace! You too!
[15:42] ---
    Shatter and begone!
[15:48] ---
    That's it for my attacks.
[15:52] ---
    My guess is that Seiji will definitely
    defeat Subaru in his next turn.
[15:55] ---
    Subaru's got to do something
    before that happens.
[15:57] ---
    Or else he has no way of winning.
[15:59] ---
    The question is, how can
    he defeat Nero Schiltlance?
[16:05] ---
    Draw. Charge and draw.
[16:14] ---
    I pay 1 life and cast!
[16:16] ---
    Proclaim: Steer the Stars!
[16:20] ---
    I check the top four cards in my deck,
    and add two of them to my hand cards.
[16:24] ---
    I pay 2 gauge and call to the center Skyseer
    Ardent Dragon, Cross Farnese Astrologia.
[16:31] ---
    I will read what's written in the stars,
    and bring victory to Subaru.
[16:35] ---
    Whatever you're trying
    to do, it's pointless.
[16:37] ---
    I currently have 4 gauge. In other words, you'd need to
    successfully attack five times to defeat Nero Schiltlance.
[16:44] ---
    What you say is correct.
[16:46] ---
    But I don't need to defeat them.
[16:48] ---
    What did he say?
[16:49] ---
    I pay 1 life and cast! Celesociation!
[16:56] ---
    This is sudden, but let me explain!
[16:58] ---
    The Celesociation spell that Subaru cast has the
    ability to return one monster on his field to the hand.
[17:04] ---
    He defeated Nero Schiltlance not be destroying him,
    but by returning him to Seiji's hand.
[17:08] ---
    In this way, Subaru regained
    control of his right area.
[17:11] ---
    Subaru's choice of Celesociation also
    represented his deepest feelings!
[17:16] ---
    Seiji, come back...
[17:19] ---
    Come back to me.
[17:22] ---
    Subaru...
[17:28] ---
    Instead of defeating his enemy,
    he returned him to Seiji's hand!
[17:31] ---
    That's one strategy I hadn't thought of.
[17:33] ---
    You're amazing, Subaru!
[17:35] ---
    I call Seerfight Dragon,
    Barry to the right!
[17:37] ---
    Now, let's get things started.
[17:39] ---
    A monster has appeared in
    his right area, which means!
[17:42] ---
    Shine brightly, weapon of the sky!
[17:44] ---
    Galaxy Formation Right, activate!
[17:51] ---
    Now all of Subaru's cards have had their power
    increased by 5000, and have gained Penetrate as well.
[17:56] ---
    And that's why the Galaxy Formation
    Right is specialized for attack!
[18:00] ---
    For share! Time to go all in!
[18:02] ---
    Cross! Attack Giallo Mace!
[18:05] ---
    Take this Penetrate damage!
[18:13] ---
    And now, Double Attack!
[18:18] ---
    Subaru Hoshiyomi unleashes
    a wave of attacks!
[18:22] ---
    Double Attack!
[18:28] ---
    Barry! Attack Seiji.
[18:30] ---
    Right now, I have a critical of 4!
[18:33] ---
    I cast! Queenside Castling!
[18:36] ---
    At this point, Seiji uses
    a spell to avoid the attack.
[18:39] ---
    And he regains life, chu!
[18:41] ---
    I cast! Notify: Skyseer Pulse!
[18:43] ---
    Cross can now attack once again,
    and I deal 1 damage to my opponent.
[18:50] ---
    Cross! Attack Seiji!
[18:54] ---
    And this is checkmate!
[19:07] ---
    The attack lands!
[19:08] ---
    Subaru is victorious in this battle of the wills!
    He's headed to the semi-finals!
[19:13] ---
    Viva! The Ace of Study is victorious, chu!
[19:17] ---
    It's all in the mind.
[19:19] ---
    Shine forth, star of glory!
[19:32] ---
    We had a good Buddyfight today.
[19:34] ---
    I was lucky enough to win this time, but we
    never know what might happen the next time.
[19:40] ---
    No matter what I do, I can't beat you.
[19:43] ---
    And what's wrong with that?
[19:45] ---
    For example, Yuga has continued
    to lose against Vile Ranma.
[19:49] ---
    But he continues to work hard,
    so that he can win someday.
[19:52] ---
    And he's enjoying the process.
[19:55] ---
    But... every time I lose to you,
    my heart overflows with hatred.
[20:00] ---
    It's like a chessboard with
    its black and white pattern.
[20:03] ---
    Friendship and hatred are
    all mixed up in my heart.
[20:07] ---
    And maybe that's all right.
[20:10] ---
    Isn't that the very
    definition of being rivals?
[20:13] ---
    Your rival?
[20:14] ---
    Someone like me?
[20:17] ---
    Accepting friendship and hatred
    and everything in between...
[20:20] ---
    That's what it means to be rivals...
[20:24] ---
    And friends.
[20:28] ---
    Let's go home, Seiji.
[20:49] ---
    Aww, everyone's gone away.
[20:59] ---
    Once, I told you...
[21:01] ---
    If you wish to become a Buddyfighter that nobody
    can defeat, you must abandon your friends and allies.
[21:08] ---
    So you're saying it was a mistake to make
    Seiji and Daijirou part of the Lost crew?
[21:14] ---
    But from what I heard...
[21:15] ---
    When Vile Ranma said that he wanted
    to gather allies, you didn't oppose him.
[21:20] ---
    I had my reasons.
[21:23] ---
    Reasons?
[21:24] ---
    The jealousy and hatred that is
    born in the hearts of humans...
[21:27] ---
    In other words, Minus Power.
    That is the source of my power.
[21:34] ---
    So you let me search for allies...
    just so you could gather power for yourself?
[21:42] ---
    Right now, because of the Minus Power generated
    by your heart, I will become the most powerful!
[21:48] ---
    Behold!
[22:02] ---
    S-So this is...
[22:04] ---
    Destroyer's new form!
[22:13] ---
    Ran! Ran! Ga-woo!
[22:17] ---
    Hey, fans! Once again, the two of
    us will introduce a special card!
[22:21] ---
    The card we're introducing
    today is this one!
[22:24] ---
    Lostknight: Nero Schiltlance.
[22:27] ---
    This new Drametal monster
    is Nero Lance's evolved form.
[22:30] ---
    His Oppress ability lets you move this
    card to your opponent's right or left.
[22:35] ---
    That becomes an oppressed area.
[22:38] ---
    The oppressed area is part of your field, so your
    opponent won't be able to call any monsters there.
[22:43] ---
    When Nero Schiltlance is destroyed, it can
    be kept on the field by paying 1 gauge.
[22:47] ---
    Even if your opponent tries to
    take back the oppressed area,
[22:52] ---
    this card can stay on the field as long as you
    have gauge, and continue to oppress the area.
[22:58] ---
    What did you think of today's card?
[23:00] ---
    I hope you'll all use this card to
    build the most powerful deck ever!
[23:03] ---
    Now then...
[23:04] ---
    We're off to work on our next video,
    so don't forget to... Check us out!
[24:41] ---
    The semi-finals begin at last.
[24:42] ---
    My opponent is Masato!
[24:44] ---
    But first... I've got to
    go see my old friend.
[24:48] ---
