[01:30] ---
    I know this is sudden,
    but here's our story so far!
[01:33] ---
    Masato Rikuo, the Ace of Sports,
    transferred to Aibo Academy!
[01:37] ---
    After some confusion caused by a nasty
    PalTuber, Yuga and Masato's Buddyfight begins!
[01:42] ---
    Masato's Dragon Share proves
    to be a challenge for Yuga.
[01:45] ---
    But using Garga's Sonic Mode, Yuga's tactic of
    balancing attack and defense leads him to victory,
[01:51] ---
    creating a bond of
    friendship with Masato!
[01:56] ---
    It's that time of year again!
[01:58] ---
    Happening right now, at Aibo Academy...
[02:00] ---
    It's the big event that
    comes only once a year!
[02:02] ---
    The ABC Cup will decide who's
    the top Buddyfighter at our school,
[02:05] ---
    and we're right in the middle
    of the preliminary rounds!
[02:07] ---
    Final Phase!
[02:09] ---
    I cast! Deity Gargantua Punisher!
[02:16] ---
    Impact...
[02:17] ---
    Deity Gargantua...
[02:20] ---
    Punisher!
[02:25] ---
    The first to make it through
    the preliminaries was...
[02:27] ---
    The Ace of Games, Yuga Mikado.
[02:29] ---
    Winner: me!
[02:33] ---
    Final Phase.
[02:35] ---
    I cast!
[02:36] ---
    Tri-Star Decision!
[02:42] ---
    The Ace of Study, Subaru Hoshiyomi
    is also headed for the tournament.
[02:46] ---
    Also, the Ace of Sports, Masato Rikuo...
[02:49] ---
    And Ran-Ga Channel's very own Ranma Kakogawa
    also made it through the preliminary rounds.
[02:53] ---
    Who will be crowned with the title of the
    academy's Number One Buddyfighter?
[02:59] ---
    Let's all look forward to finding
    out as the ABC Cup approaches!
[03:04] ---
    It's Finally Begun! The ABC Cup!
[03:11] ---
    I can't wait for the ABC Cup!
[03:13] ---
    As long as we're participating in this tournament,
    we should seek to become the strongest!
[03:16] ---
    Victory is the only goal!
[03:18] ---
    Yeah. Let's work together and become
    the academy's Number One Buddyfighter.
[03:22] ---
    Buddyfight is important, but we're already
    guaranteed to be in the main tournament.
[03:26] ---
    Why don't we upload some new videos to
    Ran-Ga Channel, since it's been a while?
[03:30] ---
    Great idea!
[03:35] ---
    Ran! Ran! Ga-woo!
[03:38] ---
    The subject of today's video is...
[03:39] ---
    This!
[03:40] ---
    Garga's snack time!
[03:42] ---
    Today, my Buddy Garga is going to chow down on some
    octopus dumplings, and we're bringing it to you live!
[03:50] ---
    Truly delicious!
[03:51] ---
    So yummy!
[03:53] ---
    Garga uses a toothpick to skillfully
    eat the dumplings, but...
[03:56] ---
    If you look closely...
[04:02] ---
    That's no toothpick...
    It's a sword!
[04:11] ---
    We're off to work on our next video.
[04:13] ---
    So don't forget to... Check us out!
[04:20] ---
    Subaru, I really don't get
    your sense of humor.
[04:32] ---
    I wasn't able to defeat Yuga...
[04:39] ---
    In order to become strong...
[04:41] ---
    I need that card!
[04:46] ---
    Before the ABC Cup begins...
[04:49] ---
    I've got to get that card, no matter what.
[04:52] ---
    Clean-up duty is such a drag.
[04:56] ---
    Don't be like that.
[04:59] ---
    What's wrong?
[05:00] ---
    Isn't that Masato?
[05:04] ---
    Masato, we want your skill and talent!
[05:07] ---
    Please, join our baseball team!
[05:09] ---
    No, join our tennis club!
[05:11] ---
    No, join our soccer club!
[05:12] ---
    No, join our kendo club!
[05:14] ---
    -Please, join our table tennis club!
    -Serve!
[05:16] ---
    No, join our judo club!
[05:18] ---
    No. Join our tea ceremony club.
[05:21] ---
    What's the tea club doing here?
[05:23] ---
    Join us!
[05:25] ---
    Our basketball team needs you!
[05:26] ---
    The karate club needs you more!
[05:27] ---
    Well, uh, how do I put this...
[05:29] ---
    I still have a long way to go...
[05:32] ---
    Please, do us this one favor!
[05:36] ---
    For share!
[05:37] ---
    Hope you don't mind if I speak plainly!
[05:39] ---
    I'll help all of you!
[05:44] ---
    That's the Ace of Sports for you. He sure is
    popular among the athletic team captains.
[05:49] ---
    Masato likes to help others,
    so team activities suit him.
[05:54] ---
    That guy...
[05:56] ---
    It's Banjoe Onizuka from
    the junior high division!
[06:03] ---
    You're all in my way. Beat it!
[06:07] ---
    Hey, Ace of Sports.
[06:09] ---
    I've been waiting and waiting,
    but you haven't introduced yourself.
[06:13] ---
    Introduced myself?
[06:14] ---
    You're a transfer student, ain't you?
[06:16] ---
    Then the first thing you oughta do is introduce
    yourself to the toughest guy at the academy...
[06:20] ---
    The great Banjoe Onizuka himself!
    That's just good manners!
[06:24] ---
    Am I wrong? Huh?
[06:27] ---
    Stay back!
[06:29] ---
    I don't want you to get
    dragged into this mess.
[06:31] ---
    But...
[06:32] ---
    I know! The Linkdragon Order!
[06:35] ---
    You just need to call on them.
[06:38] ---
    That's not possible.
[06:39] ---
    I left my deck case in my locker
    in the changing room at the gym.
[06:42] ---
    I've had enough of your
    chattering, you lot!
[06:45] ---
    I can tell... you're one tough brawler.
[06:50] ---
    So let's find out who's
    the strongest, here and now.
[06:53] ---
    I refuse.
[06:54] ---
    What's that?
[06:55] ---
    I don't get in brawls. If we're talking about a martial arts
    match according to the rules, I'd be happy to face you.
[07:02] ---
    Shut up!
[07:04] ---
    Masato!
[07:09] ---
    What's this?
[07:10] ---
    That's our Garga!
[07:12] ---
    Totally Aces!
[07:13] ---
    I thought this was an argument between
    youngsters and stayed silent, but that ends now.
[07:18] ---
    Using a weapon against
    an unarmed opponent...
[07:21] ---
    You should be ashamed.
    You scoundrel!
[07:26] ---
    If weapons are a problem,
    I'll just use my bare fists!
[07:32] ---
    That's enough. Stop it.
[07:34] ---
    Who said that?
[07:35] ---
    If you cause trouble right now, you will be
    disqualified from participating in the ABC Cup.
[07:41] ---
    If I recall, you just recently
    qualified for the main event.
[07:45] ---
    Senior Onizuka.
[07:50] ---
    Whoa whoa whoa, brother!
[07:52] ---
    These fools might be on to something.
[07:54] ---
    We'll just have to crush them in the
    ABC Cup. Is that okay by you, brother?
[08:00] ---
    Works for me.
[08:03] ---
    You'll regret this.
[08:12] ---
    What a terrible upperclassman that was.
[08:15] ---
    You're talking about
    Senior Onizuka, right?
[08:17] ---
    That guy's a certified bad guy,
    who keeps getting into violent altercations.
[08:25] ---
    This is the one!
[08:30] ---
    Did you get anything good?
[08:33] ---
    I'm not telling.
[08:34] ---
    For share!
[08:35] ---
    Finally, the card I've been
    waiting for... is mine!
[08:39] ---
    I guess he's not shy about
    showing his happiness.
[08:41] ---
    He must have gotten one heck of a card.
[08:43] ---
    Hey. Yuga.
[08:45] ---
    That scoundrel from earlier is here too.
[08:47] ---
    Check it out, Brawlzeus!
[08:48] ---
    I got the latest Gan Gramps swag!
[08:51] ---
    Looking good, brother!
[08:53] ---
    Yeah!
[08:54] ---
    Well, let's get this started.
[08:55] ---
    All right.
[08:57] ---
    We're aiming to be the strongest on Earth.
[08:59] ---
    Whether it's brawling or Buddyfights,
    I want to be stronger than anybody else!
[09:03] ---
    If that's your wish, we need to increase
    our knowledge of the cards, brother.
[09:11] ---
    He's really putting some work
    into his Buddyfight tactics.
[09:13] ---
    I guess he's surprisingly studious.
[09:16] ---
    Aiming to be strongest...
    that's kind of like you, Garga.
[09:21] ---
    Now that I think of it, I heard that Senior Onizuka got a
    little rounder around the edges once he started Buddyfight.
[09:34] ---
    It's here at last! Finally, finally!
    The ABC Cup is about to begin!
[09:39] ---
    First, the competitors enter the arena!
[09:44] ---
    Masato Rikuo!
[09:45] ---
    Banjoe Onizuka!
[09:46] ---
    Light Kurouzu!
[09:48] ---
    Mamoru Sekai!
[09:49] ---
    Yuga Mikado!
[09:50] ---
    Ranma Kakogawa!
[09:52] ---
    Subaru Hoshiyomi!
[09:53] ---
    Mel Yumegatari!
[09:54] ---
    And here's the tournament bracket, chu!
[09:59] ---
    Yuga! Ranma! You both look so cool!
[10:03] ---
    Let's kick things off with the
    first match of the first round!
[10:09] ---
    The first battle of the tournament
    will star Masato Rikuo...
[10:13] ---
    And Banjoe Onizuka!
[10:15] ---
    I never expected to get an
    opportunity to crush you this soon.
[10:20] ---
    I know! How about the winner of the fight
    gets to do anything he wants to the loser?
[10:27] ---
    Well?
[10:30] ---
    Sounds good to me.
[10:32] ---
    I accept your conditions.
[10:36] ---
    I'll conquer the world with this fist!
[10:38] ---
    Strongest Luminize!
[10:41] ---
    Legend of Strongest Topfist!
[10:47] ---
    The linked spiral is the chain of bonds!
[10:50] ---
    Luminize!
[10:54] ---
    Spiral Linkdragon Order!
[10:57] ---
    Buddy...
[10:59] ---
    Fight!
[11:00] ---
    Raise the flag!
[11:03] ---
    Danger World!
[11:05] ---
    Ancient World!
[11:08] ---
    Topfist Vainglory, Brawlzeus!
[11:10] ---
    Thunderaxe, Agito!
[11:25] ---
    First move goes to Banjoe Onizuka!
[11:28] ---
    Strongest draw!
[11:30] ---
    Strongest charge and strongest draw!
[11:32] ---
    I strongest call Crazed Warfficer,
    Gutsares to the center!
[11:39] ---
    My name is Gutsares.
    Is this the field of war?
[11:43] ---
    I strongest call Bash Sage, Bashermes!
[11:50] ---
    It's me, Bashermes.
    So, who do you want me to bash?
[11:54] ---
    Gutsares! Attack the fighter already!
[12:02] ---
    Plunder!
[12:03] ---
    What?
[12:04] ---
    Whoa! What's going on?
[12:07] ---
    When Masato Rikuo took damage,
    Banjoe Onizuka's life points increased!
[12:11] ---
    My deck has loads of cards
    that have Plunder abilities!
[12:16] ---
    For example, in Gutsares's case...
[12:18] ---
    When he destroys a monster or deals
    damage to the fighter, my life goes up by 1!
[12:26] ---
    So the ability lets him take the
    opponent's life and increase his own...
[12:31] ---
    So that's why it's called Plunder!
[12:33] ---
    I get it.
[12:34] ---
    Hey, where's Subaru?
[12:38] ---
    Are you sure you don't
    need to watch the match?
[12:41] ---
    I'm not interested in any
    Buddyfights that don't involve Yuga.
[12:45] ---
    My turn!
[12:46] ---
    Draw.
[12:47] ---
    Charge and draw!
[12:49] ---
    I call Jisen to the right!
[12:53] ---
    I can hear someone
    calling for Keen Ear Jisen.
[12:57] ---
    Please enjoy this gauge!
[12:59] ---
    I call Kaina to the center!
[13:01] ---
    Who's the guy standing in your way, huh?
[13:04] ---
    I pay 2 gauge and...
[13:06] ---
    I Buddy call Thunderaxe,
    Agito to the right!
[13:11] ---
    We of the Linkdragon Order battle
    by joining forces with Masato!
[13:15] ---
    Yeah!
[13:16] ---
    I equip! Order's Axe, Wildaxe!
[13:20] ---
    I cast! Linkdragon Order's Repose.
[13:23] ---
    Due to the effect,
    I regain gauge and life.
[13:26] ---
    For share!
[13:27] ---
    Let's go, gang!
[13:28] ---
    Yeah!
[13:29] ---
    Joy, sadness, and strength!
[13:31] ---
    Now is the time to share all
    of these with our comrades!
[13:35] ---
    Dragon Share!
[13:39] ---
    Here it is! Masato Rikuo and the
    Linkdragon Order's Dragon Share!
[13:43] ---
    Agito! Attack Gutsares!
[13:46] ---
    Okay!
[13:47] ---
    All right! Right now, my fighting
    spirit is at an all-time high!
[13:51] ---
    I cast! Invincible Knuckle!
[13:53] ---
    What?
[13:54] ---
    Agito!
[14:00] ---
    Invincible Knuckle! doesn't
    just nullify your attack...
[14:05] ---
    It Plunders 1 life from you, too!
[14:09] ---
    No worries, Masato!
    I've got Double Attack!
[14:13] ---
    This time, I'll nail it for sure!
[14:15] ---
    I cast again! Invincible Knuckle!
[14:19] ---
    Banjoe Onizuka had a second spell card!
[14:22] ---
    And he Plunders another life point!
[14:24] ---
    You look pathetic.
[14:29] ---
    Banjoe Onizuka laughed it up at the time,
    but that didn't last for long!
[14:34] ---
    Masato Rikuo and the Linkdragon Order
    shared their strength using Dragon Share.
[14:39] ---
    They united their hearts as they
    chipped away at Banjoe's life points!
[14:43] ---
    As a result!
[14:50] ---
    Nice, Linkdragon Order!
[14:51] ---
    Yeah!
[14:51] ---
    Nice, Linkdragon Order!
[14:52] ---
    Yeah!
[14:53] ---
    Woo!
[14:55] ---
    That's it for my turn!
[14:56] ---
    That's just sad, brother.
[14:58] ---
    The strongest man in the world shouldn't be
    down in the dumps over something that minor!
[15:05] ---
    That's right.
[15:06] ---
    I'm the strongest man in the world.
[15:10] ---
    Th-The fight's just getting started!
[15:14] ---
    Looks like Masato's win is guaranteed.
[15:16] ---
    I think so too.
[15:18] ---
    But...
[15:19] ---
    In Buddyfight, you never
    know what will happen next.
[15:23] ---
    That's something I've learned
    since I started Buddyfighting.
[15:28] ---
    Strongest draw...
[15:30] ---
    Strongest charge! And...
[15:32] ---
    Strongest draw!
[15:35] ---
    That's more like it.
[15:37] ---
    I cast! Deep Qigong of the Hungry Wolf!
[15:40] ---
    I regain 8 life all at once!
[15:42] ---
    What?
[15:43] ---
    I-I-Incredible!
[15:45] ---
    Banjoe Onizuka uses a
    spell to return his life to 9!
[15:48] ---
    And I'm going to take your gauge...
[15:50] ---
    And Plunder it!
[15:52] ---
    What?
[15:53] ---
    This gauge card that I took from you...
    I'll pay it and...
[15:58] ---
    Equip! Skygod Jacket!
[16:01] ---
    What do you think? Isn't it awesome?
[16:04] ---
    Next, I'll take more than your gauge.
[16:06] ---
    I'll Plunder your life and your monsters.
[16:09] ---
    What did you say?
[16:11] ---
    I take my opponent's gauge!
[16:13] ---
    And his life!
[16:15] ---
    And his monster!
    And I use them...
[16:18] ---
    Farewell for now...
[16:20] ---
    Jisen!
[16:22] ---
    Topfist Vainglory, Brawlzeus!
[16:24] ---
    Buddy call to the right!
[16:29] ---
    Oh yeah!
[16:32] ---
    Topfist!
[16:34] ---
    I'll show you...
[16:36] ---
    What a real brawl looks like!
[16:38] ---
    Topfist Vainglory, Brawlzeus!
[16:40] ---
    Size 2, 6000 power,
    2000 defense, and a critical of 2!
[16:45] ---
    He's my most powerful Buddy,
    whose fists are transcendent!
[16:49] ---
    This guy looks incredible!
[16:51] ---
    His Buddy's incredible, but Senior Onizuka's
    Plunder-based fighting style is amazing too!
[16:56] ---
    Whose side are you on?
[16:58] ---
    First, I'll take care of you!
[17:00] ---
    Is the fight over already?
[17:02] ---
    Penetrate!
[17:04] ---
    Bashermes! Attack the fighter!
[17:06] ---
    One painful blow, coming right up!
[17:11] ---
    The rest is up to you, brother.
[17:15] ---
    Let's see if you can handle it
    when a Godpunk gets serious!
[17:20] ---
    And now... Plunder!
[17:24] ---
    That's it for my turn.
[17:27] ---
    What an epic Buddyfight!
[17:29] ---
    Each time one of their turn ends, there's a
    massive gap between their life points, chu.
[17:33] ---
    You're right, Takokichi!
[17:34] ---
    This intense Buddyfight is like watching two
    brawlers going at it with their bare fists!
[17:39] ---
    Draw.
[17:40] ---
    Charge and...
[17:45] ---
    Draw!
[17:46] ---
    For share!
[17:47] ---
    I take Agito from my field, and two Kaina, a Jisen,
    a Tategami, and a Wildaxe from my drop zone,
[17:52] ---
    and place them in the soul
    as I pay 2 gauge and call...
[17:55] ---
    Spiral Thunderaxe,
    King Agito to the center!
[18:11] ---
    Right now, I'm massively
    overflowing with power!
[18:16] ---
    I'll go first!
[18:18] ---
    Take this!
[18:20] ---
    Brother, you'd better not lose!
[18:23] ---
    Brawlzeus!
[18:25] ---
    King Agito!
[18:26] ---
    Attack the fighter!
[18:28] ---
    Roger that!
[18:32] ---
    Four damage in one go!
    And King Agito has Double Attack, too.
[18:36] ---
    Double Attack!
[18:43] ---
    Looking good! That's the way to do it!
[18:45] ---
    No, it's too late.
[18:47] ---
    Why's that?
[18:49] ---
    Look at Masato's gauge!
[18:50] ---
    Whoa! Masato Rikuo doesn't have
    a single card left in his gauge!
[18:55] ---
    Because of my Plunder,
    you've finally hit 0 gauge.
[19:00] ---
    There's only one thing you can do now.
[19:03] ---
    And that would be
    announcing that your turn is over.
[19:07] ---
    So do it already!
[19:09] ---
    Final Phase!
[19:13] ---
    This is sudden,
    but let me explain!
[19:15] ---
    This card is Thunder Dragon Tornado.
[19:18] ---
    When King Agito is on the field, this card
    can be used without any gauge cost.
[19:22] ---
    The card that Masato had been seeking
    was this one, Thunder Dragon Tornado!
[19:27] ---
    That pack that he bought
    contained Thunder Dragon Tornado.
[19:32] ---
    As a result, Masato was finally
    able to use an impact card!
[19:37] ---
    I cast!
[19:37] ---
    Thunder Dragon Tornado!
[19:53] ---
    Impact!
[19:55] ---
    Thunder Dragon Tornado!
[20:08] ---
    Game End. Masato Rikuo is the victor!
[20:11] ---
    For share!
[20:12] ---
    So that's Masato's impact.
[20:14] ---
    So cool!
[20:16] ---
    The first match ends in victory
    for the Ace of Sports, chu!
[20:20] ---
    Our order's anthem, in unison!
[20:22] ---
    The linked spiral is the chain of bonds!
[20:26] ---
    We all want to hear Masato say for share!
[20:30] ---
    So we join forces and fight in his name!
[20:34] ---
    Oh, we are the Linkdragon Order!
[20:38] ---
    Yeah!
[20:42] ---
    Go ahead.
[20:43] ---
    Stew me, roast me, do whatever you like.
[20:49] ---
    Hope you don't mind if I speak plainly!
[20:51] ---
    I'd like you to listen to
    what I have to say.
[20:54] ---
    That's my wish.
[20:57] ---
    I know how you can get even stronger
    at Buddyfight, Senior Onizuka.
[21:02] ---
    Take your passion for brawling,
    and channel it into Buddyfight!
[21:06] ---
    That alone will bring you closer
    to becoming the strongest.
[21:09] ---
    Are you telling the great
    Banjoe to quit brawling?
[21:12] ---
    There's no way I could...
[21:14] ---
    You're wrong.
[21:15] ---
    I know you can do it, Senior Onizuka.
[21:20] ---
    Defeat...
[21:21] ---
    It's merely an opportunity to
    get stronger for the next time.
[21:24] ---
    These are not my words. In the past, when
    I was defeated, my Buddy said these words.
[21:30] ---
    Your Plunder tactic was amazing,
    Senior Onizuka!
[21:33] ---
    Will you please have a
    Buddyfight with me sometime?
[21:36] ---
    I'm begging you on my knees!
[21:38] ---
    You're annoying me, punk!
[21:41] ---
    Next time, we'll settle this with fists.
[21:43] ---
    I don't care if it's karate or boxing.
[21:46] ---
    Face me in a martial arts match.
[21:49] ---
    Sure. If it's sports, I'm happy to oblige!
[21:59] ---
    See ya!
[22:13] ---
    Ran! Ran! Ga-woo!
[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] ---
    Thunder Dragon Tornado!
[22:26] ---
    If you have a Dragon Share monster on the field, and
    your opponent has 4 life or less, you can use this impact.
[22:31] ---
    It deals 4 damage!
[22:34] ---
    Normally it costs 2 gauge to use, but if there's a monster with
    Spiral Dragon Share on your field, you can use it at no cost!
[22:41] ---
    If we're talking monsters with Spiral
    Dragon Share, we can't forget King Agito!
[22:46] ---
    Use King Agito to bring your opponent to 4 life or less,
    and use Thunder Dragon Tornado to finish them off.
[22:52] ---
    That's the winning pattern for
    a Linkdragon Order deck!
[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] ---
    I'm going to face Ranma in the ABC Cup.
[24:43] ---
    We know more about each other than anyone,
    so this is going to be one wild Buddyfight!
[24:47] ---
    Next episode: Ranma's Wild Charge!
    I'm The One Who'll Win!
[24:51] ---
    Let's do this, Garga.
[24:52] ---
