**[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] ---**
Balle...
**[17:09] ---**

**[17:10] ---**

**[17:20] ---**

**[17:22] ---**
Style of Retribution!
**[17:24] ---**

**[17:26] ---**
Take this! My Dragon Force!
**[17:35] ---**
Dragon Force!
**[17:38] ---**
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!
**[18:59] ---**
The joint fists!
**[19:00] ---**
Connected hearts!
**[19:01] ---**
Shine brightly!
Super Sun!
**[19:03] ---**
Luminize!
**[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!
