[01:31] ---
    I know this is sudden,
    but here's our story so far!
[01:34] ---
    Yuga challenges the brilliant Ace of Study,
    Subaru Hoshiyomi, to a Buddyfight!
[01:40] ---
    However, Yuga is helpless before Subaru's Galaxy Formation
    and Tri-Star Decision and is handed an overwhelming defeat.
[01:55] ---
    In order to win a Buddyfight,
    it's not enough to focus on attacking.
[01:58] ---
    We have to think about defense, too.
[02:00] ---
    That's why this card came to my attention.
[02:03] ---
    Gargantua Dragon, Sonic Mode!
[02:06] ---
    You've been thinking, haven't you?
[02:08] ---
    If you use this card,
    I will gain the Move ability.
[02:12] ---
    Yeah! So when we really need it, you can
    use Move and protect the center position!
[02:16] ---
    Now our defense is perfect!
[02:18] ---
    Right!
[02:19] ---
    That Yuga...
[02:21] ---
    He's really getting into Buddyfight.
[02:26] ---
    The transfer student is the Ace of Sports!
[02:30] ---
    The Ace of Sports?
[02:31] ---
    Take a look at this!
[02:37] ---
    And this guy is into Buddyfight too!
[02:40] ---
    Apparently he's super-strong at it!
[02:42] ---
    Someone that amazing is
    transferring to the class next door?
[02:46] ---
    For our next video, why don't we have the Ace of
    Games face the Ace of Sports in a Buddyfight?
[02:51] ---
    That's a great idea!
[02:52] ---
    So? What's his name?
[02:54] ---
    I'll be attending Aibo
    Academy starting today!
[02:58] ---
    I'm Masato Rikuo!
[03:00] ---
    I hope we'll all get along, team!
[03:03] ---
    This way!
[03:04] ---
    Pass the ball!
[03:09] ---
    Don't focus so much on the ball!
[03:11] ---
    Always think about your comrades,
    and pay attention to where your team-mates are!
[03:18] ---
    So that's Masato Rikuo.
[03:20] ---
    Whoa! The ankle-biters are doing so
    much better, they seem like different people!
[03:24] ---
    A true master swordsman is
    a skilled teacher as well.
[03:26] ---
    Truly, this is the same as
    the path of the blade.
[03:30] ---
    Hey! Watch it!
[03:30] ---
    Be careful!
[03:31] ---
    All right!
[03:32] ---
    Defense is attack.
[03:34] ---
    And attack is defense.
[03:35] ---
    Do you know what that means?
[03:38] ---
    When you're defending, think about
    how your opponent is going to attack.
[03:41] ---
    When you're on the offense, think
    about how your opponent will defend.
[03:44] ---
    That's why defense is attack,
    and attack is defense.
[03:47] ---
    You got that?
[03:53] ---
    You all showed some nice fighting spirit!
[03:56] ---
    Dismissed!
[03:56] ---
    Thank you very much!
[04:01] ---
    Who are you guys?
[04:02] ---
    I'm Yuga Mikado!
[04:04] ---
    I am Yuga's Buddy,
    Gargantua Dragon.
[04:07] ---
    I'm Ranma Kakogawa.
[04:10] ---
    We've got a specialty channel on
    PalTube called Ran-Ga Channel, and...
[04:14] ---
    You monsters! Don't you feel guilty,
    doing such terrible things?
[04:18] ---
    Huh?
[04:21] ---
    Da-Dan! Rowr!
[04:23] ---
    Today's totally sick video is this, yo!
[04:26] ---
    I'm about to prank this Buddy Police car!
[04:33] ---
    What is this?
[04:34] ---
    I don't remember filming
    a video like this.
[04:37] ---
    Don't play dumb!
[04:38] ---
    Besides, that's clearly not me.
[04:41] ---
    Don't make excuses!
[04:42] ---
    If you're so sure, let me ask you this.
    Where's the proof that it's not you?
[04:46] ---
    W-Well, I...
[04:47] ---
    My Buddy would never
    do such a foolish thing!
[04:51] ---
    Garga's right.
[04:53] ---
    What can I do to convince you?
[04:58] ---
    Good question.
[05:00] ---
    In that case, I challenge
    you to a sports contest.
[05:02] ---
    S-Sports?
[05:05] ---
    That's right. If I see you giving it your all while
    playing sports, I'll know what's truly in your heart.
[05:10] ---
    If we're talking about contests...
    I can't stay out of it!
[05:16] ---
    I'm known as Thunderaxe, Agito!
[05:18] ---
    Masato's Buddy, and the leader of the
    Linkdragon Order, who walks alongside Masato!
[05:24] ---
    Thanks for coming out!
[05:26] ---
    Of course, Masato!
[05:27] ---
    Right now, I passionately
    want to cheer you on!
[05:34] ---
    We've got a real cheerleader here.
[05:38] ---
    I'll let you decide on the athletic event.
[05:40] ---
    Choose whatever sport you're best at.
[05:44] ---
    I just thought of something great!
[05:50] ---
    Is that Yuga?
[05:52] ---
    The Ace of Games has invented a new sport.
    It's called One-Man Baseball!
[05:56] ---
    Want to know how it's played?
    Yuga will demonstrate!
[06:06] ---
    You hit the baseball, and if you
    can catch it, you get one point.
[06:10] ---
    Hit a fly ball really high to give you more
    time to get into position and catch it.
[06:14] ---
    That's the key to victory!
[06:16] ---
    First up is the Ace of Sports!
[06:23] ---
    Go! Go! Masato!
[06:26] ---
    Here I go!
[06:29] ---
    What?
[06:39] ---
    I caught it, for share!
[06:42] ---
    Great job, Masato!
[06:44] ---
    H-He did it!
[06:46] ---
    Using his totally aces skill, the Ace
    of Sports is the first to get one point!
[06:53] ---
    Yuga is up next. If he fails now,
    the Ace of Sports's victory is guaranteed.
[06:58] ---
    Yuga! Don't lose!
[07:03] ---
    Unbelievable! Yuga also
    took a full swing at the ball!
[07:06] ---
    This is going too far, even for him!
[07:18] ---
    Yuga failed...
[07:19] ---
    And in this instant, the Ace
    of Sports' victory is confirmed.
[07:30] ---
    The Ace of Games and
    the Ace of Sports, huh...
[07:35] ---
    Tamping it down and flattening it out...
[07:40] ---
    Why did you hit it into the outfield?
[07:42] ---
    When I saw your play, I wanted to challenge
    myself, even if it was a little reckless.
[07:47] ---
    I see.
[07:49] ---
    You're one interesting guy.
[07:53] ---
    Looking at you running so intently,
    I got the message loud and clear.
[07:57] ---
    You're not the kind of guy who'd
    make awful videos like the one I saw.
[08:00] ---
    Then you believe us?
[08:02] ---
    Yeah!
[08:03] ---
    I'm sorry I didn't trust you.
[08:04] ---
    I've unmasked the villain!
[08:07] ---
    Ranma!
[08:12] ---
    I used a virtual reality engine to
    render this image in three dimensions.
[08:15] ---
    And when we shift the perspective...
[08:20] ---
    And if we use this data to calculate what
    the face would look like from the front...
[08:28] ---
    Da-Dan! Rowr!
[08:30] ---
    Today's totally sick video is this, yo!
[08:33] ---
    I'm about to prank this Buddy Police car!
[08:36] ---
    What's his problem?
[08:38] ---
    I figured it was something like this.
[08:41] ---
    Who is this miscreant?
[08:43] ---
    No idea.
[08:44] ---
    In any case, it's clearly
    a malicious fake video.
[08:47] ---
    I've sent a removal request to PalTube.
[08:51] ---
    I was a fool for being
    tricked by this evil PalTuber!
[08:54] ---
    Yuga. What can I do to demonstrate
    my feelings of contrition?
[08:59] ---
    In that case...
[09:00] ---
    Have a Buddyfight with me!
[09:02] ---
    Lunch break at Aibo Academy means one thing...
    It's Buddyfighting time!
[09:08] ---
    And today's match features...
[09:10] ---
    The Ace of Games, Yuga Mikado! And...
[09:12] ---
    He just transferred to our school today.
    It's the Ace of Sports, Masato Rikuo!
[09:17] ---
    You'd better not lose, Yuga!
[09:19] ---
    Today's video is going to be totally aces!
[09:22] ---
    A Deity's Dragon Brigade descends!
[09:27] ---
    Luminize! Dradeity!
[09:30] ---
    The linked spiral is the chain of bonds!
[09:33] ---
    Luminize!
[09:37] ---
    Spiral Linkdragon Order!
[09:40] ---
    Buddy...fight!
[09:43] ---
    Raise the flag!
[09:44] ---
    Ancient World!
[09:47] ---
    Dragon World!
[09:49] ---
    Thunderaxe, Agito!
[09:52] ---
    Here!
[09:53] ---
    Gargantua Dragon!
[10:00] ---
    The attack lands!
[10:01] ---
    Yuga Mikado has the first move, and he uses
    Garblade to reduce his opponent's life by 2.
[10:05] ---
    And that's it for his turn!
[10:06] ---
    My turn is over.
[10:09] ---
    It's my turn!
[10:10] ---
    Draw. Charge and draw!
[10:13] ---
    I equip Order's Axe, Wildaxe.
[10:18] ---
    I call Tategami to the left!
[10:22] ---
    Did I surprise you?
[10:23] ---
    I call Harahara to the center!
[10:28] ---
    My belly is full and I'm ready to fight!
[10:30] ---
    Let's go, let's go!
[10:33] ---
    I Buddy call Thunderaxe,
    Agito to the right!
[10:36] ---
    Masato has called his Buddy.
[10:38] ---
    He gains 1 life due to the Buddy Gift.
[10:42] ---
    We of the Linkdragon Order battle
    by joining forces with Masato!
[10:46] ---
    Yeah!
[10:47] ---
    Joy, sadness, and strength!
[10:49] ---
    Now is the time to share all
    of these with our comrades!
[10:54] ---
    Dragon Share!
[11:11] ---
    For share!
[11:12] ---
    Now all of our powers have been
    linked through the chain of bonds!
[11:16] ---
    First up, Tategami! Attack the fighter!
[11:19] ---
    All right, all right! Here
    comes a flurry of attacks!
[11:25] ---
    F-For some reason, Masato
    Rikuo's life has gone up by 2!
[11:29] ---
    Tategami, Double Attack!
[11:31] ---
    And this attack will bring
    my life up even more!
[11:37] ---
    Now, Harahara! It's your turn!
[11:40] ---
    Over Calorie Attack!
[11:45] ---
    Double Attack!
[11:47] ---
    Take this!
[11:50] ---
    For share!
[11:51] ---
    Nice, Linkdragon Order!
    Nice, Linkdragon Order!
[11:54] ---
    Yeah!
[11:56] ---
    This doesn't make sense, chu.
[11:58] ---
    Huh?
[11:58] ---
    What doesn't make sense?
[11:59] ---
    The data I have on those monsters doesn't
    match the attacks they just made, chu.
[12:04] ---
    Of course not.
[12:06] ---
    -Chu?
    -What?
[12:07] ---
    The reason is...
    we have Dragon Share!
[12:10] ---
    Dragon Share?
[12:12] ---
    What's that?
[12:13] ---
    Sorry for the interruption, but let
    me explain what's happening!
[12:16] ---
    Dragon Share!
[12:18] ---
    Right now, the cards on Masato's
    field have a power called Dragon Share.
[12:21] ---
    Cards that have Dragon Share
    can share each other's abilities!
[12:26] ---
    During this turn, all of the cards on Masato's field have
    their power increased by 3000 due to Dragon Share...
[12:33] ---
    And in addition to gaining Double Attack,
[12:34] ---
    they share the ability to increase
    Masato's life by 2 every time they attack!
[12:40] ---
    Agito! Attack the fighter!
[12:42] ---
    All right! Right now, my fighting
    spirit is at an all-time high!
[12:47] ---
    Taking his Double Attack into
    consideration, Agito has a critical of 4!
[12:50] ---
    With only 2 life remaining,
    is it all over for Yuga Mikado?
[12:55] ---
    For share!
[12:56] ---
    Agito! Finish him!
[13:11] ---
    Agito! Finish him!
[13:13] ---
    I cast! Blue Dragon Shield!
[13:15] ---
    He blocks the attack!
[13:16] ---
    Yuga Mikado manages to survive this one.
[13:20] ---
    I was so close...
    how frustrating!
[13:23] ---
    I'm sorry... I failed to defeat him.
[13:25] ---
    No worries, no worries!
[13:27] ---
    Let's raise our spirits and our voices!
[13:28] ---
    Yeah!
[13:29] ---
    My turn is over! Dismissed!
[13:33] ---
    That gave me chills.
[13:34] ---
    But now Yuga's opponent
    has 25 life points!
[13:38] ---
    Next, it's Yuga Mikado's turn.
[13:40] ---
    Yuga has called Garbird
    to his left, and now...
[13:43] ---
    I Buddy call Gargantua
    Dragon to the right!
[13:48] ---
    All enemies are powerless before my blade!
[13:53] ---
    I cast! Dragod's Breath!
[13:57] ---
    Looks like this is it for me...
[13:59] ---
    I can't deal with this
    so soon after eating.
[14:08] ---
    Dragod's Breath chips away
    at Masato Rikuo's life!
[14:11] ---
    Garbird! Attack the fighter!
[14:14] ---
    I'll get him, bird!
[14:23] ---
    Garga! Attack the fighter!
[14:25] ---
    Consider it done!
[14:33] ---
    Yuga Mikado unleashes
    an onslaught of attacks!
[14:35] ---
    But Masato Rikuo still
    has 12 life remaining!
[14:39] ---
    What's he going to do now?
[14:40] ---
    Yuga Mikado!
[14:41] ---
    This is sudden, but let me
    explain what's happening once more!
[14:44] ---
    Yuga's hand cards included
    Blast Mode and Sonic Mode.
[14:48] ---
    Blast Mode, which is designed for attack,
    and Sonic Mode, for defense.
[14:51] ---
    Which should he use?
[14:54] ---
    Masato has 12 life.
[14:56] ---
    I can't win this turn,
    no matter how much I attack.
[15:00] ---
    When you're defending, think about
    how your opponent is going to attack.
[15:03] ---
    When you're on the offense, think
    about how your opponent will defend.
[15:06] ---
    Masato is sure to do something
    unexpected in his next turn.
[15:11] ---
    And so Yuga made a fateful decision!
[15:14] ---
    I'll use...
[15:15] ---
    This one!
[15:16] ---
    Change!
[15:17] ---
    Gargantua Dragon, Sonic Mode!
[15:27] ---
    Sonic Mode!
[15:30] ---
    It's G.Evo time!
[15:31] ---
    And it's a new mode that we've
    never seen him use before!
[15:34] ---
    Now that I'm in Sonic Mode,
    I increase Yuga's life by 2.
[15:38] ---
    And when I appear using G.Evo,
    he can draw 2 cards as well!
[15:42] ---
    Due to Sonic Mode's effect,
    Yuga regains life!
[15:47] ---
    Garga! Attack the fighter!
[15:49] ---
    Consider it done!
[15:55] ---
    Next, it's Masato Rikuo's turn!
[15:57] ---
    Masato Rikuo calls Tategami to
    the center once more. And then...
[16:01] ---
    If you think that Dragon Share was the only
    ace up my sleeve, that's a big mistake!
[16:05] ---
    I'm going to place the Agito and Tategami
    on my field, as well as Harahara,
[16:09] ---
    Tategami, and Wildaxe from my drop zone,
    as well as Kaina from my deck...
[16:12] ---
    And I pay 2 gauge...
[16:13] ---
    To call Spiral Thunderaxe,
    King Agito to the center!
[16:30] ---
    Right now, I'm massively
    overflowing with power!
[16:36] ---
    Spiral Thunderaxe, King Agito!
[16:38] ---
    Size 3. 7000 power and defense. A critical of 2.
[16:43] ---
    And he's got the ultimate ability...
    Spiral Dragon Share!
[16:47] ---
    Spiral Dragon Share?
[16:50] ---
    He possesses the Dragon Share
    abilities of all of the cards in his soul.
[16:53] ---
    That's Spiral Dragon Share!
[16:56] ---
    Garga! We're going to firm up our defense.
[16:58] ---
    Move to the center!
[16:59] ---
    Consider it done!
[17:01] ---
    Now that I am in Sonic Mode,
    I have the Move ability.
[17:06] ---
    King Agito! Attack Garga!
[17:09] ---
    Roger that!
[17:17] ---
    For share!
[17:18] ---
    Yuga Mikado's only hope,
    Garga, has been destroyed!
[17:22] ---
    This is sudden, but let me explain even further!
[17:25] ---
    Yuga's decision was not a mistake.
[17:27] ---
    If he had chosen Blast Mode back then, Garga
    would have been unable to Move to the center.
[17:32] ---
    Yuga would have been hit by King Agito's
    Double Attack, and he would have been defeated!
[17:38] ---
    Thanks to Spiral Dragon
    Share, I gain 2 life!
[17:41] ---
    King Agito, use your Double Attack
    and strike down the fighter!
[17:51] ---
    That's it for my turn!
[17:52] ---
    It's a pity, since we were so close!
[17:55] ---
    No worries, Masato!
[17:56] ---
    Our opponent has 1 life.
[17:58] ---
    We've practically won already!
[18:00] ---
    Draw.
[18:01] ---
    Charge and draw.
[18:03] ---
    The card I need!
[18:04] ---
    All right... time to make my move!
[18:11] ---
    I cast! Dragonic Charge Plus!
[18:13] ---
    He uses a spell to greatly
    increase his gauge!
[18:19] ---
    I call Gargantua Dragon to the right!
[18:23] ---
    Garga appears once again!
[18:26] ---
    I cast! Dragon Trust!
[18:29] ---
    I place this card in Garga's soul,
    giving him the Penetrate ability.
[18:33] ---
    Now he's using a spell to power-up Garga!
[18:35] ---
    Garbird!
[18:36] ---
    Attack King Agito!
[18:38] ---
    King Agito has a six-card soul!
[18:40] ---
    In other words, he has to attack
    seven times to defeat him!
[18:44] ---
    As expected, he revives due to Soulguard.
[18:51] ---
    I'm not done yet!
[18:57] ---
    King Agito is down to
    3 soul cards remaining!
[19:00] ---
    But even if Yuga continues his attacks,
    he can't reduce Masato Rikuo to 0 life!
[19:05] ---
    What is the Ace of Games going to do?
[19:07] ---
    Garga! Now it's your turn.
[19:09] ---
    Consider it done!
[19:13] ---
    Penetrate!
[19:15] ---
    What?
[19:18] ---
    I use Move to defend, and Penetrate to attack!
    Both of them are techniques I learned from Ranma!
[19:24] ---
    Yuga...
[19:35] ---
    King Agito is down to his last soul card!
[19:39] ---
    Yuga Mikado chooses this moment to
    do another mode Change on Garga!
[19:43] ---
    Change!
[19:44] ---
    Gargantua Dragon, Blast Mode!
[19:55] ---
    Blast Mode!
[19:59] ---
    It's his second G.Evo!
[20:01] ---
    Garga! Finish King Agito!
[20:04] ---
    Consider it done!
[20:07] ---
    Penetrate!

    I had lots of fun too!
[21:32] ---
    It's true...
[21:34] ---
    It was certainly an interesting match.

    Who's that?

    Yuga!

[22:17] ---
    Hey, fans! Once again, we're going
    to be introducing a special card!
[22:21] ---
    The card we're introducing
    today is this one!
[22:24] ---
    Thunderaxe, Agito.
[22:26] ---
    A size 1 monster that has Dragon Share.
[22:30] ---
    Monsters that have Dragon Share can
    gain each other's Dragon Share abilities!
[22:37] ---
    Agito can share his Double Attack
    ability with all of his teammates.
[22:42] ---
    The monsters you use determines
    what abilities your team will share.
[22:46] ---
    Depending on how you arrange your
    monsters, you can deal with any opponent.
[22:51] ---
    Gather all kinds of Dragon Share abilities to
    create your own unique most powerful army!
[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!
