[00:02] ---
    What did you just say?
[00:03] ---
    We weren't able to prevent Dragon
    Drei's completion from happening.
[00:08] ---
    But why didn't you tell us about this?
[00:11] ---
    That's right, bal! Bal thought
    we were friends, bal!
[00:14] ---
    They did it for your sake, obviously.
[00:16] ---
    That's right. Senior Tasuku wanted to let
    you focus completely on the deciding round.
[00:21] ---
    I get it. I'm fine about that now.
[00:24] ---
    More importantly, check this out.
[00:26] ---
    I was Buddyfighting with
    Senior Aragami just now...
[00:29] ---
    During the match, I had my Dragon Force
    in my hand cards, and it evolved.
[00:34] ---
    Yeah. Our Dragon Forces can evolve.
[00:38] ---
    Me and Gaito have already evolved ours.
[00:40] ---
    But we weren't enough to
    overpower Kyoya's Dragon Drei.
[00:46] ---
    Presumably, we can't counter Dragon Drei unless
    we have all three Dragon Forces evolved.
[00:55] ---
    Could this be?
[00:56] ---
    Our Dragon Forces...
[00:58] ---
    Are resonating?!
[01:04] ---
    It's flowing into Bal, bal!
[01:11] ---
    Bal?
[01:12] ---
    He's not in a Buddyfight,
    yet he turned into Balle Soleil!
[01:15] ---
    Meow meow?
[01:16] ---
    Bal!
[01:17] ---
    What's happened to you,
    all of a sudden?
[01:19] ---
    Bal!
[01:24] ---
    So that's how it is, bal.
[01:27] ---
    Bal understands everything now, bal.
[01:29] ---
    Bal?
[01:35] ---
    Hey, Bal!
[01:36] ---
    Where are you going?
[01:38] ---
    Bal!
[03:18] ---
    Bal remembers everything, bal.
[03:21] ---
    All of it. Everything.
[03:25] ---
    Bal has to fight Azi Dahaka, bal.
[03:31] ---
    But...
[03:33] ---
    But...
[03:34] ---
    If that happens, Bal will have to...
[03:37] ---
    Gao...
[03:45] ---
    Here we go...
[03:48] ---
    Gao...
[03:50] ---
    You had us worried.
[03:52] ---
    Why'd you take off so suddenly?
[03:57] ---
    Bal just remembered something from a long time
    ago, and started wembling with excitement, bal.
[04:02] ---
    The phrase is usually
    trembling with excitement.
[04:03] ---
    B-Bal has heard it both ways, bal.
[04:07] ---
    Looks like Bal's going to be okay.
[04:09] ---
    Yeah.
[04:10] ---
    I'm so relieved!
[04:11] ---
    Let's leave them alone for now.
[04:13] ---
    Good idea.
[04:15] ---
    It's already late. Let's discuss
    the future tomorrow.
[04:20] ---
    All right.
[04:26] ---
    Secret! The true nature
    of Project Triple D!
[04:37] ---
    Gao! How much longer
    are you gonna sleep?
[04:41] ---
    Noboru?
[04:42] ---
    Baku.
[04:42] ---
    Kuguru.
[04:44] ---
    Come on, time to get up.
[04:46] ---
    We're going to have a meeting.
[04:48] ---
    Meeting?
[04:50] ---
    Yesterday, Senior Aragami suddenly showed up,
    and we couldn't have our meeting.
[04:54] ---
    Oh! That's right!
[04:57] ---
    Thanks to Senior Tasuku and Gaito,
    we know what kind of card Dragon Drei is.
[05:03] ---
    It's definitely an overpowered card,
    but it's not impossible to counteract.
[05:07] ---
    Are you serious?
[05:09] ---
    Who do you think you're talking to?
[05:11] ---
    I'm the great deck builder, Baku Omori.
[05:13] ---
    Don't underestimate me!
[05:14] ---
    Yeah! I'm counting on you.
[05:17] ---
    The decks that you build
    are always the best!
[05:20] ---
    I'm volunteering to help you practice,
    so you'd better be grateful.
[05:24] ---
    Hey, shrimp dragon!
    Time for you to wake up, too!
[05:27] ---
    The pizza looks delicious, bal...
[05:31] ---
    Huh?
[05:34] ---
    This is bad!
    Bal's still half-asleep!
[05:37] ---
    What? Don't tell me that...
[05:39] ---
    Noboru! Run!
[05:41] ---
    I've got a bad feeling about this...
[05:43] ---
    Time to eat pizza, bal...
[05:46] ---
    Ow!
[05:47] ---
    Hey! Gao!
    Do something!
[05:54] ---
    After losing at the World Championships...
[05:57] ---
    When I was able to awaken the Dragon Force
    during that battle with Bigmachine...
[06:00] ---
    What if that was part of
    Kyoya Gaen's plan, too?
[06:04] ---
    Have I simply been manipulated
    by him all this time?
[06:08] ---
    Hey, Gaito.
    You're overthinking this.
[06:11] ---
    Even if that was the case... so what?
[06:15] ---
    No matter who gave it to you, your Dragon
    Force is a power that's all your own.
[06:19] ---
    I started out as an artificial
    monster created by Kyoya.
[06:24] ---
    But now...
    I'm your Buddy.
[06:26] ---
    I know.
[06:28] ---
    I was just feeling unsure of myself.
[06:30] ---
    We're heading to Gao and Bal's place now.
[06:35] ---
    Dragon Drei has already been completed.
[06:38] ---
    Kyoya Gaen is clearly planning on using it
    in the deciding round two months from now.
[06:43] ---
    If we take Kyoya Gaen, currently
    at Gaen Tower, into custody...
[06:47] ---
    We can secure the Dragon Drei card!
[06:49] ---
    It's not going to be that easy.
[06:51] ---
    Kyoya Gaen has already been reinstated
    as the head of Gaen Financial Group.
[06:56] ---
    Unless we have definitive proof of
    wrong-doing, we can't touch him.
[07:00] ---
    So in the end, there isn't a thing
    that the Buddy Police can do.
[07:05] ---
    Tasuku, don't be so quick to give up.
[07:06] ---
    We still have two months.
[07:08] ---
    We just need to figure out a
    countermeasure once more.
[07:11] ---
    Jack has the right idea.
[07:13] ---
    Tasuku, there must be something
    that we can still do.
[07:17] ---
    Let's work with the Buddy Police in Los Angeles and
    think of a way to get the situation under control.
[07:23] ---
    You're right.
[07:24] ---
    And there's one more way
    to block Dragon Drei.
[07:28] ---
    Really? There's a way to block it?
[07:31] ---
    Yeah.
[07:32] ---
    At the Buddy Champion Deciding
    Round two months from now...
[07:35] ---
    Gao needs to win before Kyoya Gaen
    has a chance to use Dragon Drei.
[07:41] ---
    Rouga Aragami turned traitor on us...
[07:45] ---
    And so I eliminated him.
[07:48] ---
    You've overstepped your bounds.
[07:49] ---
    Huh?
[07:51] ---
    Leave me.
[07:51] ---
    Y-Yes, sir!
[07:54] ---
    I've given everything
    for Project Triple D.
[07:58] ---
    There's no way I could regret anything.
[08:01] ---
    For the sake of the new
    world that I desire...
[08:04] ---
    I'd be willing to sacrifice anything.
[08:07] ---
    Master Kyoya.
[08:09] ---
    The requests for interviews
    have been non-stop.
[08:13] ---
    Do you seriously mean to accept them all?
[08:17] ---
    Of course. After all, I'm trying to
    become a deity to this world.
[08:23] ---
    Then I'll make the necessary arrangements.
[08:28] ---
    Becoming a deity, eh?
[08:31] ---
    Is that the true goal of Project Triple D?
[08:36] ---
    They'll find out in time.
    And so will you.
[08:44] ---
    So you keep secrets,
    even from me.
[08:47] ---
    Kyoya Gaen.
    You're a cunning one.
[08:55] ---
    Oh, aren't you Tasuku?
[08:57] ---
    Welcome!
[08:58] ---
    Gao, dear!
[09:00] ---
    Tasuku is here!
[09:02] ---
    Senior Tasuku!
[09:03] ---
    Now, come on in!
[09:05] ---
    Thank you for your hospitality.
[09:07] ---
    Jack! Let's Buddyfight, bal!
[09:10] ---
    Face me, Senior Tasuku!
[09:11] ---
    What?
[09:12] ---
    This is a new deck designed
    to counter Dragon Drei!
[09:15] ---
    Freshly built!
[09:17] ---
    You already built a new deck?
[09:20] ---
    That was fast.
[09:21] ---
    Well, after seeing that incredible fight
    yesterday, we just couldn't stay still!
[09:26] ---
    I'd be happy to be your opponent,
    if you'll have me.
[09:32] ---
    Truly, my destiny is to feel
    awkward about entering.
[09:35] ---
    Gaito. This has nothing
    to do with destiny.
[09:39] ---
    Hide!
[09:40] ---
    Why should we hide?
[09:41] ---
    Shut up, Abygale!
[09:43] ---
    Gaito?
[09:44] ---
    Abygale, too!
[09:47] ---
    You guys came to help me, too?
[09:48] ---
    W-We just happened to be passing by!
[09:51] ---
    Gaito. I know you're hiding your
    embarrassment, but this is too much.
[09:55] ---
    Gao! Bal!
[09:57] ---
    Those two have experienced
    Dragon Drei first-hand.
[09:59] ---
    You couldn't ask for better opponents.
[10:02] ---
    We'll hang back and think up an even better plan,
    so go out there and train as much as you want!
[10:07] ---
    All right!
[10:08] ---
    Bal will train and become
    even stronger, bal!
[10:20] ---
    Bal! Attack the fighter!
[10:23] ---
    Bal!
[10:26] ---
    We're gonna really bring the pain!
[10:30] ---
    ...Is what I'd love to say,
    but my turn is over.
[10:34] ---
    My turn!
[10:35] ---
    Draw! Charge and draw!
[10:40] ---
    I pay 2 gauge and...
[10:41] ---
    Dragon Force!
    Style of Justice!
[10:46] ---
    Release!
[10:49] ---
    So this is Senior Tasuku's
    evolved Dragon Force.
[10:53] ---
    Here I come, Gao!
[10:54] ---
    Black Dot, move to the center!
[10:57] ---
    Can't move...
[10:59] ---
    What?
[11:00] ---
    Dragon Force,
    Style of Justice.
[11:02] ---
    If Jack is on my field,
    and my center is clear...
[11:06] ---
    It nullifies all abilities of all monsters
    on my opponent's field!
[11:16] ---
    Final Phase!
[11:19] ---
    Impact Call!
[11:21] ---
    I pay 3 gauge and transform Jackknife...
[11:23] ---
    Into an Impact Monster!
[11:27] ---
    Galactical...
[11:30] ---
    Punisher!
[11:43] ---
    Thank you very much!
[11:45] ---
    Senior Tasuku!
[11:47] ---
    One more round, please!
[11:50] ---
    One more, bal!
[11:52] ---
    What are you talking about?
[11:54] ---
    Tasuku Ryuenji isn't your only opponent.
[11:57] ---
    It's our turn next.
[11:59] ---
    Oh yeah, that's right.
[12:01] ---
    I'm looking forward to
    working with you, Gaito!
[12:03] ---
    Come at me with everything you've got.
[12:05] ---
    Gao Mikado.
[12:09] ---
    I pay 2 gauge and call to the right!
[12:13] ---
    Super Sun Dragon!
[12:15] ---
    Balle Soleil!
[12:18] ---
    Bal will try his super-best, bal!
[12:20] ---
    Right now, Balle Soleil
    has a critical of 3.
[12:23] ---
    And he'll come at us with
    a Double Attack, too.
[12:25] ---
    I know. Don't worry. I'll survive!
[12:30] ---
    Prepare to meet your doom, bal.
[12:32] ---
    Balle Soul Blade!
[12:36] ---
    Double Attack!
[12:38] ---
    This will finish you, bal!
[12:43] ---
    Gao wins, bal.
[12:46] ---
    No. Gaito told me not to worry.
[12:50] ---
    That means...
[12:53] ---
    I pay 2 gauge, and...
[12:55] ---
    I discard one hand card and release
    Dragon Force, Style of Retaliation!
[13:00] ---
    I revive with 1 life.
[13:03] ---
    8000 power.
[13:05] ---
    A critical of 3!
[13:08] ---
    So this is Gaito's evolved Dragon Force.
[13:11] ---
    And when released, my Dragon Force's
    effect lets me destroy Balle Soleil.
[13:16] ---
    Bal!
[13:18] ---
    Soulguard!
[13:21] ---
    Revived, bal!
[13:22] ---
    I'm not done yet!
[13:23] ---
    I destroy five cards from your deck.
[13:29] ---
    My turn is over.
[13:31] ---
    My turn.
[13:33] ---
    Draw.
[13:34] ---
    Charge and draw.
[13:36] ---
    Abygale. Attack the fighter.
[13:39] ---
    Gale Thruster!
[13:43] ---
    Take this, Gao Mikado!
[13:45] ---
    I cast! Blue Dragon Shield!
[13:47] ---
    Final Phase!
[13:49] ---
    This is bad, bal!
[13:51] ---
    Impact Call to the right!
[13:53] ---
    I pay 4 gauge and transform Abygale...
[13:55] ---
    Into an Impact Monster!
[14:00] ---
    All cards on the field have their
    abilities nullified, and are destroyed.
[14:06] ---
    And if there are over twenty cards in your
    drop zone, Abygale gains Triple Attack.
[14:12] ---
    Now, count them.
[14:14] ---
    How many cards are in your drop zone?
[14:17] ---
    ...Twenty one cards.
[14:19] ---
    I will destroy all!
[14:25] ---
    For the sake of our victory!
[14:31] ---
    Last! Death!
[14:33] ---
    Violence!
[14:46] ---
    Couldn't even win once, bal.
[14:48] ---
    What's going on, Gao? Bal!
[14:51] ---
    What's the point of losing to
    us over and over again?
[14:53] ---
    I just couldn't draw my
    Dragon Force at the right time.
[14:56] ---
    Couldn't release it at all, bal.
[14:59] ---
    How pathetic! If you can't
    do it in a match with us...
[15:02] ---
    You won't be able to do it in the Buddy
    Champion Deciding Round, either!
[15:08] ---
    Gaito is right. Kyoya Gaen
    is stronger than this.
[15:12] ---
    The way you're fighting right now...
[15:14] ---
    You definitely can't beat him.
[15:17] ---
    I never expected this result from a deck
    designed to counteract Dragon Drei.
[15:22] ---
    Becoming Buddy Champion is
    beyond impossible for them.
[15:25] ---
    That's not true, bal!
[15:28] ---
    Bal?
[15:30] ---
    Kitten Shirt taught Bal, bal.
[15:34] ---
    Buddy Champion...
[15:37] ---
    It's a title that's given to the person who loves
    Buddyfight more than anyone else in the world.
[15:42] ---
    Bal believes that Bal and Gao are
    the ones who love Buddyfight
[15:45] ---
    more than anyone
    in the entire world, bal!
[15:47] ---
    Bal...
[15:49] ---
    That's why we can become
    Buddy Champion for sure, bal!
[15:53] ---
    That's why we can beat Kyoya
    and Lots-of-Faces, bal!
[15:57] ---
    That's right. You're
    absolutely right, bal.
[15:59] ---
    Bal!
[16:00] ---
    But we can't do it the way
    we're playing right now.
[16:03] ---
    Bal?
[16:04] ---
    We need to learn to love
    Buddyfight even more!
[16:08] ---
    So we can say with pride that we love
    Buddyfight more than anyone else in the world!
[16:13] ---
    Bal understands, bal!
[16:15] ---
    But how can we learn to love
    Buddyfight even more, bal?
[16:20] ---
    It's obvious, isn't it?
    Training!
[16:23] ---
    For the two months until the Buddy Champion
    Deciding Round, we're going to train hard!
[16:27] ---
    Train hard, bal!
[16:29] ---
    We'll help, of course.
[16:32] ---
    Right?
[16:33] ---
    When I've got time.
[16:35] ---
    I'm grateful!
[16:36] ---
    Now that that's decided...
[16:38] ---
    Continue training, bal!
[16:40] ---
    Let's go home!
[16:41] ---
    Bal?
[16:43] ---
    We're going to fine-tune this
    deck to make it the best ever!
[16:46] ---
    Bal understands, bal!
[16:49] ---
    See you, Senior Tasuku! Gaito!
[16:51] ---
    Jack! Abygale!
    Bye-bye, bal!
[16:54] ---
    Race you home, bal.
[16:55] ---
    Huh? Hey! Wait!
[16:58] ---
    How can they be so happy?
[17:00] ---
    But I think that's one
    of their best qualities.
[17:03] ---
    Th-This isn't fair!
[17:07] ---
    Defeating Dragon Drei...
[17:09] ---
    Means he'd have to chip
    away at a total of 25 life.
[17:12] ---
    25 life, huh.
[17:15] ---
    When you stop and think about it,
    that's a really big number.
[17:18] ---
    The question is how he can efficiently,
    and quickly, chip away at that.
[17:23] ---
    Sounds like Gao and Bal have come home.
[17:26] ---
    Baku!
[17:29] ---
    Bal wins first place, bal!
[17:35] ---
    It was really hard to draw my
    Dragon Force card with this deck.
[17:38] ---
    Actually, I thought up another deck
    that I'd like you to test out.
[17:42] ---
    Great!
[17:43] ---
    It's all thanks to Kitten Shirt, bal!
[17:45] ---
    What are you talking about?
[17:46] ---
    And for the record,
    it's not a kitten, it's a tiger.
[17:50] ---
    What's this?
[17:53] ---
    This is a triple card!
[17:56] ---
    And it came out of little Bal's shell?
[17:58] ---
    Looks like another card was born, bal.
[18:01] ---
    For the next battle against Lots-of-Faces!
[18:05] ---
    Let me see that for a second.
[18:07] ---
    Sure.
[18:08] ---
    Sun Deity's Choice, huh.
[18:10] ---
    Looks like an interesting card!
[18:39] ---
    A countermeasure
    against Azi Dahaka?
[18:42] ---
    If he shows up, our monsters all get taken out.
    Even Balle Soleil would be defeated.
[18:48] ---
    Your usual Dragon Shields can
    only block an attack once.
[18:53] ---
    So if your opponent has
    enough life, it's pointless.
[18:57] ---
    But Dragon Shields aren't the only
    defensive card you've got.
[19:00] ---
    If you can't block an attack,
    you just need to prevent it!
[19:04] ---
    What do we do, bal?
[19:05] ---
    You use this!
[19:07] ---
    Stout Arm of the Sun, huh?
[19:11] ---
    It's true, we could use that
    to turn the attack around!
[19:13] ---
    But I can't use Stout Arm of the Sun
    unless the opponent's center is open.
[19:18] ---
    But Balle Soleil has the ability to destroy the
    opponent's center monster as many times as necessary.
[19:24] ---
    That's why, as long as Balle Soleil is on the field,
    Kyoya can't recklessly call monsters to the center.
[19:29] ---
    In other words, he'll think that
    Azi Dahaka Daeva...
[19:31] ---
    Can't be called by him!
[19:34] ---
    -I get it!
    -Bal gets it, bal!
[19:36] ---
    Th-That's amazing!
[19:38] ---
    Gao and Bal will defeat
    the great Kyoya Gaen!
[19:42] ---
    Yeah!
[19:43] ---
    We'll become Buddy Champions, bal!
[19:45] ---
    Try your best!
[19:46] ---
    You'd better win!
[19:50] ---
    I pay 2 gauge and...
[19:53] ---
    Dragon Force!
[19:56] ---
    Style of Impact!
[19:59] ---
    Release!
[20:04] ---
    Here I go, Senior Tasuku!
[20:10] ---
    Final Phase!
[20:13] ---
    Dragon Force, Style of Impact can attack
    one more time during Final Phase!
[20:18] ---
    And its critical is 4!
[20:30] ---
    All right! Thank you very much!
[20:33] ---
    Thank you very much, bal!
[20:36] ---
    That was spectacular, Gao.
[20:38] ---
    Tomorrow's the big day.
[20:40] ---
    I've done everything I can.
[20:44] ---
    All that's left is to fight with
    everything I've got!
[20:50] ---
    Bal. You seem a little subdued.
[20:51] ---
    What?
[20:52] ---
    Th-That's not true, bal. Bal thinks he loves
    Buddyfight even more than he did before, bal!
[21:01] ---
    That's...
[21:02] ---
    Could it be?
[21:03] ---
    Bal's new...
[21:04] ---
    Impact Monster card?
[21:08] ---
    Bal? Is this...
[21:17] ---
    Tomorrow, we'll arrive in Los Angeles.
[21:19] ---
    The day after tomorrow, at
    the World Buddy Stadium...
[21:22] ---
    The Buddy Champion
    Deciding Round will begin.
[21:25] ---
    But it sure is generous of them to send not just your
    family, but your companions to America for free!
[21:33] ---
    That's for sure.
[21:35] ---
    Did Kitten Shirt come to see us off, bal?
[21:38] ---
    I keep telling you, it's a tiger!
[21:40] ---
    And I'm not seeing you off, I'm going too!
[21:42] ---
    To America!
[21:46] ---
    I hope you don't mind if we
    cheer you on in America, too.
[21:50] ---
    Please.
[21:51] ---
    Of course!
[21:52] ---
    With Tasuku and Jack with us, we'll
    have the strength of a hundred, bal!
[21:57] ---
    It's my destiny to find it difficult
    to bring up certain topics.
[22:00] ---
    Gaito. This has nothing
    to do with destiny.
[22:03] ---
    Besides, we're going to cheer them on too.
[22:05] ---
    I think there's no need to hide.
[22:07] ---
    Shut up!
[22:09] ---
    Now, let's go!
[22:10] ---
    Let's become Buddy Champions!
[22:16] ---
    Gao Mikado.
[22:17] ---
    You should consider it an honor
    to be defeated by a deity.
[22:22] ---
    Master Kyoya.
    Your private jet is ready.
[22:27] ---
    Thank you.
[22:28] ---
    Kyoya... I'll no longer
    be called by that name.
[22:33] ---
    Because I'm going to
    abandon my humanity.
[22:40] ---
    Today's winning card!
[22:42] ---
    Stout Arm of the Sun!
[22:44] ---
    That was super-amazing, bal!
[22:47] ---
    Bal wants to see it again, bal!
[22:48] ---
    When you have a Sun Dragon on your field,
[22:51] ---
    and the opponent's center is open,
    you can destroy a monster on the left or right.
[22:56] ---
    If Balle Soleil is on your field, you can
    clear the enemy's center monster any time,
[23:00] ---
    so you can seal the deal
    with Stout Arm of the Sun!
[23:03] ---
    A combo with Bal, bal!
[23:05] ---
    Getting hit with a stout arm hurts!
[23:08] ---
    Muscly-muscles, bal.
[24:41] ---
    Gao and Kyoya's Buddyfight match starts!
[24:43] ---
    This time, we'll defeat Kyoya Gaen and
    become Buddy Champions for sure, bal!
[24:48] ---
    Next episode: Fight!
    Buddy Champion Deciding Round!
[24:50] ---
    Buddyfight, bal!
