[00:05] ---
    It's been a month since the
    Buddy Champion Deciding Round...
[00:09] ---
    Azi Dahaka has gone away...
[00:12] ---
    So Bal will go away soon too, bal.
[00:15] ---
    Bal, why...
[00:19] ---
    Why...
[00:22] ---
    Good morning, Gao!
    Is breakfast ready yet, bal?
[00:26] ---
    Why are you still here?
[00:30] ---
    Bal doesn't know, bal.
[02:02] ---
    What was all that about going away soon?
[02:05] ---
    You don't show any signs
    of going away at all!
[02:07] ---
    Bal doesn't understand
    what's going on either, bal.
[02:10] ---
    Today's breakfast is miso-stewed mackerel.
[02:13] ---
    Bal... wants to eat pizza, bal...
[02:16] ---
    What? But you had pizza yesterday.
[02:19] ---
    You have to eat well-balanced
    meals, you know.
[02:22] ---
    But, but... this could be the last time
    that Bal eats a meal here, bal.
[02:30] ---
    Of course, you're right...
    I'll go bake a pizza right away!
[02:34] ---
    What?
[02:35] ---
    All right, bal!
[02:39] ---
    Thank you for the meal, bal!
[02:43] ---
    So tasty, bal!
    Pizza really is the best, bal.
[02:47] ---
    There's more, if you want seconds.
[02:50] ---
    Could it be? Is he lying just so that
    he can eat pizza every day?
[02:56] ---
    Bye-bye! Eternal farewell to Bal!
[03:03] ---
    Senior Tasuku!
[03:05] ---
    Good morning, Gao.
[03:08] ---
    Sorry to drop by on your day off.
[03:10] ---
    No worries! It's not like
    I had plans or anything.
[03:13] ---
    Where's Bal?
[03:14] ---
    Oh! About Bal...
[03:19] ---
    He stuffed himself full of
    pizza and fell asleep.
[03:23] ---
    He's still here. I'm glad.
[03:26] ---
    He's not showing any
    signs of disappearing.
[03:30] ---
    The truth is...
[03:32] ---
    We've learned a lot thanks to the
    Buddy Police's investigations.
[03:35] ---
    Upon investigating the sedimentary layer
    from which Azi Dahaka was excavated...
[03:40] ---
    It was from ten thousand years ago.
[03:42] ---
    Ten thousand years ago?
[03:44] ---
    It seems Bal and Azi Dahaka's battles
    happen every ten thousand years.
[03:49] ---
    So the next battle?
[03:52] ---
    It'll be impossible for us to witness it.
[03:56] ---
    But Bal will win next time, too?
[03:58] ---
    He's won every time so far, right?
[04:01] ---
    No, that's not necessarily the case.
[04:04] ---
    What do you mean?
[04:06] ---
    When you look at Earth's history...
[04:09] ---
    There have been several mass extinction events, when
    the majority of living creatures become extinct at once.
[04:16] ---
    In many cases, the cause isn't known
    for certain, but it could be that...
[04:23] ---
    You're saying they
    happened because Bal lost?
[04:28] ---
    We can't ignore that possibility.
[04:32] ---
    Chances are...
[04:34] ---
    In ten thousand years, they'll battle
    using Buddyfight once more.
[04:38] ---
    The key to victory will be whoever
    becomes Bal's Buddy at the time.
[04:45] ---
    Let us hope that he'll meet a good Buddy.
[04:48] ---
    Bal's Buddy ten thousand
    years from now, huh...
[04:57] ---
    I've been waiting for this moment!
    Balle Soleil!
[05:02] ---
    Azi Dahaka Daeva!
[05:09] ---
    Attack, Bal!
[05:11] ---
    Bal!
[05:13] ---
    Bal!
[05:16] ---
    What was that?
[05:18] ---
    In the future...
[05:20] ---
    Waiting... bal...
[05:23] ---
    Also...
[05:25] ---
    Regarding when Bal will disappear...
[05:28] ---
    When you consider that the reincarnation
    cycle is about ten thousand years...
[05:31] ---
    We may have about
    ten years of wiggle room.
[05:34] ---
    What?
[05:35] ---
    In fact, Azi Dahaka appeared before
    Kyoya years before Bal was reborn.
[05:42] ---
    Of course, there's still the
    possibility that he'll disappear soon.
[05:45] ---
    But you never know... he might be
    around until we're both old men.
[05:50] ---
    Until we're old men, huh...
[05:56] ---
    I Buddy call... Bal Dragon...
    to the center...
[06:04] ---
    Bal, bal, bal...
[06:09] ---
    Uh, I don't think Bal
    himself will grow that old.
[06:12] ---
    Oh, good point.
[06:17] ---
    Bal.
[06:20] ---
    Bal?
[06:22] ---
    Bal!
[06:24] ---
    Have you seen Bal around?
[06:25] ---
    Dunno.
[06:27] ---
    Haven't seen him.
[06:29] ---
    What?
[06:30] ---
    He hasn't been by here.
[06:33] ---
    You've got to be kidding me.
[06:35] ---
    He can't just disappear
    suddenly like this...
[06:39] ---
    Bal! Bal!
[06:41] ---
    Gao...
[06:43] ---
    Bal! Where are you?
[06:45] ---
    I'm here, bal...
[06:48] ---
    The toilet?
[06:51] ---
    Ate too much pizza, bal...
[06:55] ---
    Stay in there forever, for all I care!
[07:03] ---
    You can stay here forever if you want...
[07:07] ---
    What was that?
[07:08] ---
    Hey! Mighty Sun Fighter!
[07:13] ---
    Duel Jaeger! That means...
[07:16] ---
    It's me! The Chief of
    the Ocean, Dai Kaido!
[07:19] ---
    I heard the news!
    It hasn't happened yet!
[07:24] ---
    What is it, bal?
[07:25] ---
    Yeah... Not yet.
[07:28] ---
    What's the big hold-up, then?
[07:30] ---
    Easy for you to say! I don't know
    when it's going to happen, either!
[07:35] ---
    It's been a month since the
    Buddy Champion Deciding Round!
[07:38] ---
    It's high time that you put your
    foot down and made it happen!
[07:42] ---
    What are you talking about?
[07:43] ---
    Your victory celebration, of course!
[07:45] ---
    Huh?
[07:46] ---
    Congrats on your win, turtle!
[07:48] ---
    Congratulations, turtle!
[07:49] ---
    The greatest in the world, turtle!
[07:51] ---
    You won the WBC Cup and
    became Buddy Champions!
[07:55] ---
    Obviously you should throw
    a huge victory celebration!
[07:58] ---
    What do you do at a
    victory celebration, bal?
[08:00] ---
    We celebrate our victory by holding a huge party.
    And we invite lots of people.
[08:05] ---
    Bal wants to do a victory
    celebration, bal!
[08:08] ---
    Bal wants everyone to come
    and have a good time, bal!
[08:10] ---
    Bal...
[08:12] ---
    You're right. Let's do it!
[08:14] ---
    All right! It's decided!
[08:16] ---
    It's a festival, a festival!
[08:18] ---
    It's a victory celebration festival!
[08:25] ---
    So this is where they're holding
    the victory celebration!
[08:28] ---
    They're really going all out!
[08:30] ---
    Here's some freshly-caught tuna!
[08:33] ---
    Freshly-caught, turtle!
[08:37] ---
    We have pizza, too!
[08:38] ---
    When you think about it,
    a lot of people have helped us.
[08:42] ---
    Don't forget about me!
[08:44] ---
    President Shido!
[08:46] ---
    I'm the one who gave you permission
    to hold this victory celebration.
[08:49] ---
    Me, the Aibo Academy Junior High division
    Student Council President, Magoroku Shido!
[08:53] ---
    Permission? But...
[08:55] ---
    All you did was stamp the form.
[09:00] ---
    That's enough, mom.
[09:02] ---
    No way! This is your time in the
    spotlight so you've got to look the part.
[09:08] ---
    You too, Bal!
[09:09] ---
    Bal!
[09:13] ---
    Senior Aragami?
[09:15] ---
    You came, bal!
[09:18] ---
    Today, I'm here as a messenger.
[09:20] ---
    I only came to give you this letter.
[09:24] ---
    As promised, I delivered it.
[09:27] ---
    Let's Buddyfight again some time,
    Senior Aragami!
[09:30] ---
    Of course.
[09:31] ---
    Gao Mikado...
[09:33] ---
    And Dragon of the Sun, Bal Dragon.
[09:37] ---
    Hey, who's the letter from?
[09:40] ---
    There's only one guy who could ask
    Senior Aragami to do something like this.
[09:46] ---
    Next time, I'll win.
[09:48] ---
    Signed, someone who loves Buddyfight.
[09:51] ---
    We'll win next time as well!
[09:58] ---
    Thank you for your patience!
[10:00] ---
    In a moment, the Gao Mikado WBC Cup Champion
    Commemoration Grand Victory Celebration will begin!
[10:07] ---
    And here are today's guests of honor,
    Gao Mikado and Dragon of the Sun, Bal Dragon!
[10:13] ---
    Gao!
[10:15] ---
    Bal Dragon!
[10:16] ---
    Gao!
[10:18] ---
    Bal Dragon!
[10:19] ---
    Gao!
[10:21] ---
    Bal Dragon!
[10:23] ---
    Gao!
[10:25] ---
    Bal Dragon!
[10:27] ---
    Gao!
[10:28] ---
    Bal Dragon!
[10:30] ---
    Thank you!
[10:31] ---
    Thank you, bal!
[10:35] ---
    Please give a short speech.
[10:37] ---
    Um...
[10:38] ---
    Thanks to your support, we were
    able to become Buddy Champions.
[10:42] ---
    Thanks so much!
[10:48] ---
    Gao...
[10:49] ---
    Bal will never forget today, bal.
[10:55] ---
    Yeah! Same here!
[10:59] ---
    This is just too tight, bal.
[11:03] ---
    Bal?
[11:04] ---
    Huh?
[11:09] ---
    Just a little longer...
[11:11] ---
    Bal wants to be with
    Gao a little longer...
[11:14] ---
    Senior Gao! You're always going
    to be my role model! My idol!
[11:19] ---
    Please, Buddyfight with
    me again some time!
[11:21] ---
    Yeah! I'll be looking forward to it!
[11:23] ---
    Bal!
[11:24] ---
    You're one of the guests of honor too,
    so don't go wandering off like that.
[11:28] ---
    Wow!
[11:29] ---
    So many gourmet foods!
    I'm happy, yo!
[11:32] ---
    Don't eat too much, yo! Tetsuya!
[11:34] ---
    Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo!
[11:35] ---
    Tetsuya! Asmodai!
[11:36] ---
    Congratulations on your victory, Gao.
[11:38] ---
    Kiri!
[11:40] ---
    I just really wanted to say that.
[11:41] ---
    I'm glad you came.
[11:44] ---
    Congratulations!
[11:46] ---
    Either eat or talk.
    Don't try to do both.
[11:48] ---
    Zanya and his crew came too!
[11:50] ---
    So Bal's final form is
    called Balle Soleil, huh.
[11:54] ---
    Yeah.
[11:57] ---
    Team Balle du Soleil.
[11:59] ---
    Huh?
[11:59] ---
    I was thinking it could be
    our new team name!
[12:02] ---
    When me and Baku and Kuguru first
    teamed up, that was our team name.
[12:06] ---
    Maybe it was our destiny
    to become Buddies.
[12:10] ---
    That's right, bal!
[12:13] ---
    What's going on?
[12:14] ---
    When a Guardians deck meets
    an Executioners deck...
[12:17] ---
    To battle is their fate!
[12:18] ---
    Is that how it is?
[12:21] ---
    You want to get hyped up?
[12:23] ---
    Raise the flag!
[12:25] ---
    Where's your Buddy?
[12:27] ---
    I left him in the parking lot.
[12:28] ---
    By the way, who are you again?
[12:30] ---
    How rude!
[12:32] ---
    I was in the WBC Cup Cho-Tokyo
    Preliminary Rounds too, you know.
[12:36] ---
    There are so many amazing
    Buddyfighters here.
[12:39] ---
    We should find someone to Buddyfight too!
[12:40] ---
    Who do you wanna challenge?
[12:43] ---
    I wouldn't mind being your opponent.
[12:45] ---
    Huh?
[12:46] ---
    A talking cat?!
[12:48] ---
    A-Amazing! Buddyfights are
    happening all over the place!
[12:51] ---
    It seems the victory celebration has
    turned into a Buddyfight tournament!
[12:56] ---
    This must be our destiny as Buddyfighters.
[12:59] ---
    Gaito! You came!
[13:01] ---
    We didn't just come to celebrate.
[13:03] ---
    What do you mean, bal?
[13:05] ---
    We came to battle the greatest Buddyfighter
    in the world, the Buddy Champion.
[13:11] ---
    Wait just a moment!
[13:14] ---
    You are not the only one who wishes
    to battle the Buddy Champion.
[13:18] ---
    We've been angling for
    a chance to battle him, too!
[13:20] ---
    Let us face each other in a fair fight!
[13:23] ---
    Fine by me!
[13:24] ---
    I'll face you one by one...
[13:25] ---
    Wait, wait, wait, wait!
[13:26] ---
    Wait!
[13:28] ---
    Noboru?
[13:28] ---
    Kitten Shirt?
[13:29] ---
    It's a tiger!
[13:30] ---
    Your bragging about being
    Buddy Champion ends today!
[13:34] ---
    I'll take your snooty nose
    in the air and break it!
[13:37] ---
    Gao!
[13:38] ---
    Shrimp Dragon!
[13:39] ---
    I'll face you any time!
[13:40] ---
    We'll have the best Buddyfight ever, bal!
[13:44] ---
    From here on...
[13:45] ---
    The Buddy Champion will be
    facing a series of challengers!
[13:48] ---
    The first challenger is an old friend
    of Gao Mikado, Noboru Kodo!
[13:55] ---
    Things are getting interesting!
[13:57] ---
    Try your best, Gao!
[14:01] ---
    Sleeping beneath Aibo Academy
    for countless years!
[14:05] ---
    I know the world of Buddyfight from back to front!
    I, Ozon B, will be providing analysis.
[14:11] ---
    But really! Why didn't I get an
    invitation to the victory celebration?
[14:16] ---
    I did some great analysis
    during the WBC Cup!
[14:20] ---
    Oh dear. That's strange.
[14:22] ---
    I was sure that I'd sent one out.
[14:24] ---
    Oh, sorry. I forgot to send it.
[14:27] ---
    Come on! Then why don't
    you give it to me now!
[14:30] ---
    Sorry for how late this is...
[14:32] ---
    Miss Kitty.
[14:33] ---
    Meow!
[14:33] ---
    Here.
[14:34] ---
    Meow!
[14:35] ---
    So it wasn't for me...
[14:39] ---
    Here I go!
[14:40] ---
    A glorious charge!
[14:44] ---
    Noboru Kodo's link attack strikes Gao!
[14:47] ---
    What's this? Gao is now
    declaring Final Phase!
[14:51] ---
    Impact Call!
[14:53] ---
    I pay 3 gauge and transform Bal Dragon...
[14:56] ---
    Into an Impact Monster!
[15:00] ---
    Bal will try his super-best, bal!
[15:13] ---
    Bal Burst...
[15:14] ---
    Smasher!
[15:17] ---
    Dammit!
[15:19] ---
    He nailed it!
[15:21] ---
    Game End!
    Winner, Gao Mikado!
[15:24] ---
    I'll be back!
[15:26] ---
    I'll be your next opponent!
[15:29] ---
    Genma Todoroki has made an appearance!
[15:32] ---
    Martial Arts Dragon Emperor...
[15:34] ---
    Duel Sieger!
[15:35] ---
    Tempest Enforcer!
[15:48] ---
    Ares Crusher!
[15:52] ---
    Zuerst!
[15:57] ---
    I cast!
[15:58] ---
    Green Dragon Shield!
[16:02] ---
    He survives this attack, and once
    again calls an Impact monster!
[16:08] ---
    Bal!
[16:10] ---
    Great Full!
[16:11] ---
    Bal!
[16:12] ---
    Lariat!
[16:14] ---
    Destroyed!
[16:16] ---
    Game End!
    Winner, Gao Mikado!
[16:19] ---
    That's the Buddy Champion for you.
[16:21] ---
    You're doing great, Gao! Bal!
[16:24] ---
    Once after the other, these powerful Buddyfighters
    challenge the Buddy Champion, Gao Mikado!
[16:31] ---
    Combine!
[16:33] ---
    Ozon Z!
[16:37] ---
    Impact Call!
[16:39] ---
    Bal Saucer...
[16:40] ---
    Over Rush!
[16:45] ---
    RIP me...
[16:50] ---
    Stout Wrist Unmatched Chief!
[16:52] ---
    Duel Jaeger Revolted!
[16:58] ---
    It's a festival, a festival!
[17:00] ---
    I call to the right!
[17:01] ---
    Super Sun Dragon!
[17:03] ---
    Balle Soleil!
[17:06] ---
    Bal will try his super-best, bal!
[17:08] ---

[17:35] ---
    Dragon Force!

    Style of Impact!
[17:43] ---
    Release!
[17:45] ---
    Don't you want to fight as well,
    in your heart of hearts?
[17:48] ---
    Tasuku?
[17:49] ---
    I'll have many more chances
    to Buddyfight with Gao.
[17:52] ---
    But today might be the last time that you can
    Buddyfight against Gao with Bal as his Buddy.
[18:02] ---
    Gao. Let's finish him, bal!
[18:04] ---
    Yeah!
[18:05] ---
    Final Phase!
[18:11] ---
    He clinched it!
[18:12] ---
    Game End!
    Winner, Gao Mikado!
[18:16] ---
    He's strong.
[18:17] ---
    Was this defeat our destiny as well?
[18:19] ---
    The Dragon Force showdown
    was won by Gao Mikado!
[18:23] ---
    Bal, bal...
[18:30] ---
    It's time, bal...
[18:36] ---
    Would you have a Buddyfight with me?
[18:38] ---
    Senior Tasuku!
[18:39] ---
    Bal! Face me!
[18:40] ---
    Jack!
[18:41] ---
    Bal wants to fight too, bal!
[18:43] ---
    Bal was thinking about this non-stop, bal!
[18:46] ---
    Of course, I'm up for it too!
[18:48] ---
    And now it's time for
    the eternal rivals to face off!
[18:52] ---
    Shine forth!
[18:53] ---
    Future dragons clad in stars!
[18:56] ---
    Luminize!
    Cross Dragoner!

[19:05] ---
    Bullets of the Sun!
[19:06] ---
    Buddy...
[19:08] ---
    Fight!
[19:09] ---
    Raise the flag!
[19:14] ---
    Dragon Force!
[19:16] ---
    Style of Justice!
[19:17] ---
    Release!
[19:19] ---
    Gao...
[19:21] ---
    Buddyfight is very fun, bal.
[19:24] ---
    What's up? We're in
    the middle of a Buddyfight.
[19:27] ---
    Bal loves Buddyfight, bal.
[19:30] ---
    Bal is so glad that Bal
    discovered Buddyfight, bal.
[19:34] ---
    Bal?
[19:35] ---
    Discovering Buddyfight, and becoming Gao's Buddy...
    really made Bal happy, bal!
[19:48] ---
    Gao. Thank you for everything, bal.
[19:51] ---
    Bal!
[19:52] ---
    What's that crest?
[19:54] ---
    It's time to say goodbye, bal.
[19:57] ---
    Y-You're joking, right?
[19:59] ---
    No.
[20:00] ---
    Recently, I've been hearing a voice, bal.
[20:02] ---
    A voice?
[20:03] ---
    A voice from ten thousand
    years in the future.
[20:07] ---
    Bal has to go, bal.
[20:10] ---
    To battle Azi Dahaka?
[20:13] ---
    Of course, Bal has to battle
    against Azi Dahaka, bal.
[20:16] ---
    But the voice calling Bal
    is a different one, bal.
[20:20] ---
    Whose voice is it?
[20:23] ---
    Bal's future Buddy, bal.
[20:30] ---
    Just like Gao and Bal were able to find each other here,
    someone in the future is waiting for Bal, bal.
[20:35] ---
    Bal...
[20:37] ---
    But Bal will never forget about Gao, bal.
[20:40] ---
    Jack and Abygale...
[20:43] ---
    And everyone else...
[20:45] ---
    Bal will never ever forget them, bal!
[20:48] ---
    Bal...
[20:50] ---
    Bal...
[20:51] ---
    Baku dear...
[20:53] ---
    So the moment has finally arrived...
[20:57] ---
    Even when Bal is reborn, Bal will
    be sure to play Buddyfight again!
[21:00] ---
    Buddyfight might not exist
    ten thousand years in the future.
[21:03] ---
    Then Bal will make sure it
    has a comeback, bal!
[21:06] ---
    That's a good idea.
[21:11] ---
    Bal!
[21:11] ---
    Gao!
[21:13] ---
    I won't ever forget you, either.
[21:15] ---
    I'll make sure my grandkids, and their
    grandkids, and their grandkids...
[21:19] ---
    I'll make sure they all know.
[21:22] ---
    That ten thousand years from now, that an
    amazing dragon called Bal Dragon will revive!
[21:48] ---
    The time I spent with you!
[21:50] ---
    I had a lot of fun!
[21:55] ---
    Bal had a lot of fun too, bal.
[21:58] ---
    Thank you, Gao.
[22:03] ---
    Be sure to have loads of fun
    Buddyfighting in the future!
[22:20] ---
    I think this might be that
    legendary dragon's egg!
[22:23] ---
    No way.
[22:25] ---
    But I'm pretty sure this is the
    ten thousandth anniversary.
[22:27] ---
    Oh! It's hatching!
[22:29] ---
    You can't put your faith in legends.
[22:31] ---
    You never know!
[22:33] ---
    Are you Bal Dragon?
[22:35] ---
    Bal!
[24:11] ---
    Long ago, there was a legendary Demon Lord
    Dragon who almost destroyed Dragon World.
[24:16] ---
    His name was Demon Lord Dragon, Batzz!
[24:19] ---
    He was sealed within some ancient ruins
    in Dragon World for a long time.
[24:23] ---
    I've made up my mind.
[24:24] ---
    I'm going to make him my Buddy!
[24:27] ---
    Here we go, Batzz!
[24:28] ---
    Uh, hey. Batzz?
[24:31] ---
    Looks like this guy isn't
    exactly by the book.
[24:34] ---
    But I'm going to become the greatest of
    Buddies with Batzz, no matter what it takes!
[24:38] ---
    And my new Impact is really
    going to shake things up!
[24:42] ---
    A new series, Future Card Buddyfight X.
[24:45] ---
    The Most Powerful Demon Lord Dragon!
    His Name is Batzz!
[24:48] ---
    Join us for a Buddyfight!
[24:50] ---
    ...I think the Buddy I chose might
    be a little too dangerous!
