[01:31] ---
    This is sudden,
    but here's our story so far!
[01:33] ---
    Miko Mikono has gained a Buddy!
[01:36] ---
    Her name is Electrodeity of Light, Amaterasu!
[01:38] ---
    Ranma, who felt a special
    kinship to Miko, was shocked.
[01:42] ---
    Then, Yuga and Miko had a Buddyfight.
[01:46] ---
    While Miko used the Possess technique to battle,
[01:48] ---
    Yuga made great use of Garbird and proved
    victorious in order to cheer up and encourage Ranma.
[01:53] ---
    However, even that was not enough
    to heal the wounds in Ranma's heart.
[02:06] ---
    The ABC Cup semi-finals
    are just around the corner.
[02:08] ---
    I'm going to raise my vitality
    and stamina before my match!
[02:11] ---
    An evacuation alarm?
[02:16] ---
    This is the Buddy Police
    Reconnaissance Team.
[02:18] ---
    An Illegal monster has
    appeared in the Point C district!
[02:21] ---
    All officers, report to the scene ASAP!
[02:22] ---
    This is sudden, but let me explain!
[02:25] ---
    Illegal monsters are monsters that
    refuse peaceful relations with humans,
[02:28] ---
    and rampage across Earth
    whenever they feel like it!
[02:38] ---
    Isn't that Senior Mamoru
    from the junior high division?
[02:40] ---
    What is my next opponent in
    the tournament doing here?
[02:43] ---
    Cosmoman...
    lend me your strength.
[02:47] ---
    Transform!
[02:54] ---
    Senior Mamoru... transformed!
[02:59] ---
    Defend Peace! Galaxy Exalt Cosmoman!
[03:06] ---
    The mysterious hero who protects people
    from Illegal monsters, Cosmoman...
[03:11] ---
    And it looks like his secret
    identity is Senior Mamoru!
[03:23] ---
    Cosmoman's energy is rapidly
    used up when he is on Earth.
[03:27] ---
    When the Cosmotimer on his forehead turns off,
    Cosmoman becomes unable to function.
[03:33] ---
    Fight hard, Cosmoman!
[03:35] ---
    Very little time remains.
[03:57] ---
    Senior Mamoru...
    You're protecting me?
[04:07] ---
    Good, you're awake.
[04:10] ---
    What happened to me?
[04:11] ---
    Don't worry.
[04:12] ---
    You were just unconscious for a bit.
[04:14] ---
    Thank you, Senior Mamoru.
[04:16] ---
    I-I just happened to pass by, and I found
    you collapsed on the ground. That's all.
[04:21] ---
    Fortunately, you were near
    my daily jogging course.
[04:24] ---
    What happened to the Illegal monster?
[04:26] ---
    If you mean Dorcas, he fled underground.
[04:29] ---
    Cosmoman's activity
    limit is far too short.
[04:32] ---
    In order to defeat Dorcas
    within that limited time...
[04:35] ---
    I get it. In order to defeat Dorcas,
    Senior Mamoru has to become stronger!
[04:39] ---
    I know! You're the Ace of Sports, right?
[04:42] ---
    Huh?
[04:43] ---
    It might be a little strange to ask
    this of my future opponent, but...
[04:46] ---
    Please, don't ask any questions!
    Just train me and make me tougher!
[04:53] ---
    Woo-hoo!
[04:59] ---
    Behold my Spiky Spiny Swimming technique!
[05:09] ---
    Isn't that...
[05:14] ---
    What are you doing in a place like this?
[05:17] ---
    Oh! It's you fellows!
[05:18] ---
    Hey, where's Masato?
[05:20] ---
    Masato is currently training in
    preparation for the ABC Cup semi-finals.
[05:25] ---
    And what are you guys doing?
[05:27] ---
    We wanted to treat Masato to a nice meal, so we
    started this business to earn some cash. But...
[05:34] ---
    You guys have, like, no customers.
[05:36] ---
    Right now, we're overwhelmingly troubled.
[05:41] ---
    I just thought of something great!
[05:47] ---
    Ran! Ran! Ga-woo!
[05:49] ---
    Right now, we're at Cho-Daiba
    Beach's Seaside Cafe, Linkdragon Order!
[05:56] ---
    Today, we're going to be bringing you
    some totally wild and crazy videos, live!
[06:00] ---
    We're calling this one
    Totally Ace Watermelon Pinata!
[06:04] ---
    It's to your right! Further right!
[06:07] ---
    Keep going straight!
[06:08] ---
    Now go left!
[06:10] ---
    Be silent, you impudent whelps!
[06:12] ---
    You're distracting me!
[06:14] ---
    When did you get that?
[06:16] ---
    Lemon syrup! Strawberry syrup!
[06:18] ---
    We can do double flavors and triple flavors
    until the shaved ice is soaked through!
[06:21] ---
    Eat 'til your belly is full!
[06:23] ---
    I'm going to keep on grilling!
[06:30] ---
    The next video's coming soon, so...
[06:32] ---
    Check us out!
[06:34] ---
    Wow, that looks refreshing!
[06:35] ---
    Are you offering free samples?
[06:37] ---
    Please enjoy!
[06:38] ---
    Hey! This must be the place!
[06:40] ---
    We should stop by.
[06:42] ---
    This went perfectly!
[06:43] ---
    Yeah. Thank you, Garga.
[06:46] ---
    Right now, I'm overwhelmingly grateful!
    Now we can treat Masato to a feast!
[06:51] ---
    About that...
[06:53] ---
    A feast might be nice, but isn't there something
    that would make Masato even happier?
[06:59] ---
    What the heck would that be?
[07:03] ---
    Pardon me for speaking plainly!
[07:05] ---
    Let's start the special training,
    Senior Mamoru!
[07:07] ---
    All right!
[07:13] ---
    Doing great, Senior Mamoru!
[07:14] ---
    But how's this?
[07:17] ---
    That's it! Keep it up!
[07:21] ---
    Don't give up, Cosmoman!
[07:23] ---
    Huh?
[07:27] ---
    Masato?
[07:28] ---
    I-I'm fine. We're just getting started,
    Senior Mamoru!
[07:31] ---
    R-Right.
[07:37] ---
    Even I'm tired after that workout.
[07:38] ---
    Earlier...
[07:40] ---
    Why did you call me Cosmoman?
[07:43] ---
    W-Well...
[07:45] ---
    Oh! It's because yesterday, I noticed that
    Dorcas's head was shaped like an axe.
[07:49] ---
    So that made me think of Cosmoman.
[07:52] ---
    I see.
[07:53] ---
    That's fine, then.
[08:02] ---
    It's so exhausting talking
    to Senior Mamoru.
[08:06] ---
    You've figured out Senior
    Mamoru's secret identity, right?
[08:08] ---
    You know too?
[08:10] ---
    Yeah.
[08:11] ---
    I'll tell you about how Senior Mamoru
    and Cosmoman first met.
[08:16] ---
    It happened one year ago.
[08:32] ---
    Look out!
[08:34] ---
    That day, Senior Mamoru had purchased a card pack that
    included Galaxy Exalt, Cosmoman, from Hero World.
[08:52] ---
    Senior Mamoru had saved that puppy's life,
    ignoring the danger that his own life was in.
[08:56] ---
    His courage moved Cosmoman so much
    that he became Senior Mamoru's Buddy.
[09:00] ---
    Ever since then, they have worked together, night and day,
    fighting to protect the smiles of the innocent.
[09:05] ---
    Or so I hear.
[09:07] ---
    So that's their history.
[09:09] ---
    The Illegal monster that attacked on that day was
    the same monster that appeared yesterday, Dorcas.
[09:14] ---
    Really?
[09:17] ---
    I see. That's why he
    asked me to train him.
[09:20] ---
    For Senior Mamoru, Dorcas
    is like a destined enemy...
[09:25] ---
    What's wrong?
[09:26] ---
    Oh, it's just that I hate that word.
[09:29] ---
    Destiny.
[09:31] ---
    I didn't mean to say it.
[09:33] ---
    In any case... you sure know
    a lot about Senior Mamoru.
[09:37] ---
    He was my opponent in the tournament.
[09:40] ---
    So I gathered as much intel on
    him as I could before our match.
[09:43] ---
    I'm grateful that you shared this with me.
[09:47] ---
    Senior Mamoru saved my life.
[09:51] ---
    I've got to find some way to assist him!
[09:55] ---
    Looking good!
[09:57] ---
    Keep it up!
[10:00] ---
    Now's my chance!
[10:03] ---
    You did it, Senior Mamoru!
[10:06] ---
    I did it! I finally did it!
[10:09] ---
    You worked hard, Senior Mamoru.
[10:12] ---
    Masato!
[10:14] ---
    Hey! What's up, you guys?
[10:16] ---
    Please accept this!
[10:18] ---
    What's the story behind this?
[10:19] ---
    Yuga gave us some advice!
[10:23] ---
    A feast might be nice, but I think Masato would
    be even happier if you gave him a new card pack!
[10:30] ---
    Yuga said that?
[10:32] ---
    Use that to strengthen your deck
    in preparation for our next match!
[10:35] ---
    Of course, we'll treat
    you to a feast as well!
[10:38] ---
    It's good to have friends you can rely on.
[10:41] ---
    What's our next opponent doing here?
[10:44] ---
    Masato.
[10:45] ---
    I'd like to express my gratitude as well.
[10:47] ---
    Is there anything I can do for you?
[10:50] ---
    In that case...
[10:51] ---
    I'd like you to bring your
    best during our match!
[10:54] ---
    That's what you can do for me.
[10:56] ---
    I understand.
[11:01] ---
    It's the first round of
    the ABC Cup semi-finals!
[11:03] ---
    The Ace of Sports, Masato Rikuo...
[11:05] ---
    And the Hero World master,
    Mamoru Sekai are facing off!
[11:09] ---
    Good luck, Masato!
[11:11] ---
    We're going to get some
    great footage today!
[11:13] ---
    I'm looking forward to seeing
    what sort of battle it'll be!
[11:15] ---
    You're watching a match that features
    someone other than myself and Yuga?
[11:18] ---
    How unusual.
[11:20] ---
    Subaru has learned something recently.
[11:22] ---
    Yuga is not the only Buddyfighter
    I should be paying attention to.
[11:25] ---
    In order to meet worthy opponents,
    I need to observe many Buddyfights.
[11:30] ---
    The linked spiral is the chain of bonds!
[11:33] ---
    Luminize!
[11:37] ---
    Spiral Linkdragon Order!
[11:39] ---
    Huh? What's going on?
[11:41] ---
    Mamoru Sekai shows no signs of Luminizing!
[11:45] ---
    You asked me to bring
    my best to this match.
[11:47] ---
    That's why I'm going to use
    my true deck this time.
[11:52] ---
    Your true deck?
[11:54] ---
    I will protect everyone's smiles
    with my burning soul of justice!
[11:58] ---
    Luminize!
[11:59] ---
    Cosmo Justice!
[12:06] ---
    Buddy...fight!
[12:09] ---
    Raise the flag!
[12:12] ---
    Ancient World!
[12:14] ---
    Hero World!
[12:17] ---
    Thunderaxe, Agito!
[12:21] ---
    Galaxy Exalt, Cosmoman!
[12:27] ---
    Galaxy Exalt, Cosmoman!
[12:29] ---
    Senior Mamoru's Buddy is...
[12:31] ---
    The defender of justice, Cosmoman!
[12:34] ---
    I'll show you, Masato...
[12:36] ---
    What it looks like when me and
    Cosmoman get serious in a Buddyfight!
[12:55] ---
    For share!
[12:56] ---
    That's it for my turn!
[12:57] ---
    Next, it's Mamoru Sekai's turn.
[13:00] ---
    Draw.
[13:01] ---
    Charge and draw.
[13:04] ---
    I cast. Hyper Energy.
[13:08] ---
    I call Cosmo Falcon No. 2 to the left.
[13:13] ---
    Due to Falcon No. 2's effect,
[13:14] ---
    I discard one Galaxy Defense Team card from
    my hand and check the top five cards in my deck.
[13:19] ---
    From those five cards, I add one Galaxy
    Defense Team and one Galaxy Exalt to my hand.
[13:24] ---
    And...
[13:25] ---
    I call Cosmo Falcon No. 1 to the right.
[13:29] ---
    As I promised, I'm giving you
    everything I've got in this Buddyfight.
[13:35] ---
    Cosmoman...
[13:36] ---
    Lend me your strength.
[13:38] ---
    Transform!
[13:45] ---
    U-U-Unbelievable!
[13:47] ---
    Mamoru Sekai has
    transformed into Cosmoman!
[13:51] ---
    Senior Mamoru turned into Cosmoman?
[13:53] ---
    I see. The defender of justice,
    Cosmoman's true identity...
[13:57] ---
    It was that young man all along.
[14:00] ---
    Masato. After seeing your heart burn
    with passion, I made a decision!
[14:05] ---
    I will no longer hide my identity.
[14:07] ---
    Senior Mamoru...
[14:08] ---
    Now, let us resume this match!
[14:15] ---
    He placed three cards in his soul.
[14:17] ---
    Falcon No. 2, commence attack
    on Heavystriker, Kaina!
[14:24] ---
    Am I done for already?
[14:29] ---
    Looks like Falcon No. 2
    had the ability Penetrate!
[14:32] ---
    Falcon No. 1! Commence
    attack on the Buddyfighter!
[14:46] ---
    I have a critical of 2!
[14:48] ---
    I gain 3 critical for the cards in my soul, and an
    additional 1 critical from Falcon No. 1's ability...
[14:54] ---
    That's a terrifying total of 6 critical!
[14:57] ---
    And I've got Double Attack!
[14:59] ---
    Is this the end of the
    line for Masato Rikuo?
[15:02] ---
    I cast! Undying Linkdragon Order!
[15:08] ---
    That's it for my turn.
[15:12] ---
    At the end of the turn,
    he lost one soul card.
[15:16] ---
    What could this mean?
[15:17] ---
    Cosmoman is very strong.
[15:19] ---
    Light.
[15:21] ---
    However, at the end of his turn,
    he loses his soul cards, one at a time.
[15:25] ---
    And when his soul cards hit zero,
    his transformation is cancelled.
[15:29] ---
    So that's what was happening.
[15:31] ---
    Makes sense. Cosmoman's activity time is pretty
    short when he's fighting Illegal monsters, too.
[15:36] ---
    Masato! You've got to chip
    away at Cosmoman's soul cards!
[15:40] ---
    I call Tategami to the center!
[15:42] ---
    Burn!
[15:45] ---
    What?
[15:46] ---
    Are you surprised?
[15:47] ---
    Masato Rikuo uses Assailant, Tategami's effect
    and takes away one of Cosmoman's soul cards!
[15:51] ---
    I call Harahara to the left!
[15:55] ---
    My belly's full and
    I'm full of determination!
[15:57] ---
    Let's go, let's go!
[15:59] ---
    Time for Dragon Share!
    Use my power!
[16:02] ---
    Let's do this!
[16:04] ---
    Oh no!
[16:05] ---
    And with that, Cosmoman
    is down to zero soul cards!
[16:07] ---
    All right! Now when Senior
    Mamoru's next turn ends...
[16:11] ---
    Cosmoman's transformation
    will be cancelled!
[16:13] ---
    Tategami, Harahara,
    do a link attack on the fighter!
[16:16] ---
    Here I go!
[16:17] ---
    I cast! Cosmo Barrier!
[16:19] ---
    This spell reduces all damage
    I take during this turn to 1!
[16:23] ---
    No way!
[16:25] ---
    Mamoru Sekai uses Cosmo Barrier!
    to reduce damage to 1!
[16:28] ---
    Agito! Do a link attack with Tategami!
[16:34] ---
    Now, Harahara and Agito, do a link attack!
[16:37] ---
    Have another helping!
[16:40] ---
    That's it for my turn!
[16:43] ---
    Next, it's Mamoru Sekai's turn.
[16:45] ---
    When this turn ends, Mamoru Sekai's
    Transform will be cancelled!
[16:49] ---
    He needs to end this fight here and now!
[16:59] ---
    Final Phase!
[17:01] ---
    What did he say?
[17:02] ---
    This is sudden, but let me explain!
[17:04] ---
    Right now, Cosmoman is attempting
    to fire Astium Photon Wave!
[17:08] ---
    It's an Impact that Cosmoman can use in moments of great
    danger, which does 4 damage that cannot be avoided!
[17:13] ---
    Impact! Astium Photon Wave!
[17:19] ---
    Masato!
[17:23] ---
    How did you survive an
    Impact that can't be avoided?
[17:27] ---
    What on earth happened?
[17:29] ---
    The answer is...
[17:30] ---
    I cast! Linkdragon Order's Links!
[17:32] ---
    That's right! Right before the Impact
    hit him, Masato increased his life!
[17:38] ---
    Incidentally, the Linkdragon Order's
    Links card he used at that moment...
[17:42] ---
    This card was in the pack that
    Agito and the others gave me!
[17:46] ---
    So your teammates love for you literally
    transformed into your strength.
[17:50] ---
    We're glad we could help you, Masato!
[17:53] ---
    That's it for my turn...
[17:57] ---
    Finally... finally!
[17:58] ---
    Cosmoman's Transform has been cancelled!
[18:00] ---
    The transformation is undone!
[18:02] ---
    I call Spiral Thunderaxe,
    King Agito to the center!
[18:20] ---
    Right now, I'm massively
    overflowing with power!
[18:25] ---
    King Agito, attack the fighter!
[18:30] ---
    For share!
[18:31] ---
    Agito! Double Attack!
[18:34] ---
    I cast! I've Seen Through Your Moves!
[18:37] ---
    Mamoru Sekai may be backed into a corner,
    but he's hanging on with everything he's got!
[18:41] ---
    Final Phase!
[18:45] ---
    I cast! Thunder Dragon Tornado!
[19:01] ---
    Impact!
[19:02] ---
    Thunder Dragon Tornado!
[19:08] ---
    The forces of justice always win.
[19:10] ---
    But this time, I just couldn't win.
[19:12] ---
    That's because... Masato...
    you're also a force for justice.
[19:23] ---
    Game End! The victor is Masato Rikuo!
[19:26] ---
    Masato Rikuo is headed
    boldly into the final round!
[19:30] ---
    For share!
[19:32] ---
    The Ace of Sports is victorious, chu!
[19:37] ---
    Order's anthem! All together now!
[19:39] ---
    The linked spiral is the chain of bonds!
[19:42] ---
    We all want to hear Masato say for share!
[19:46] ---
    So we join forces and fight in his name!
[19:50] ---
    Oh, we are the Linkdragon Order!
[19:54] ---
    Yeah!
[19:55] ---
    Congratulations on
    making it to the finals.
[19:57] ---
    Senior Mamoru!
[19:58] ---
    Thank you!
[20:12] ---
    You can do it, Senior Mamoru!
[20:15] ---
    Just as I have the Linkdragon Order
    backing me up, you've got us on your side!
[20:20] ---
    All together now!
[20:22] ---
    Don't give up, Senior Mamoru!
[20:38] ---
    For share!
[20:43] ---
    Finish him!
[20:50] ---
    For share!
[20:57] ---
    Masato. All of you. Thank you.
[21:01] ---
    Thank you, kiddo.
[21:02] ---
    Thank you.
[21:04] ---
    Thank you.
[21:05] ---
    What's this?
[21:07] ---
    Cosmoman merchandise, handmade by me.
[21:09] ---
    I'm not sure whether to
    say thanks or no thanks.
[21:13] ---
    I feel the same way.
[21:15] ---
    There's just one thing I don't understand.
[21:17] ---
    Why did you feel it necessary to
    hide your identity as Cosmoman?
[21:22] ---
    I was wondering about that too.
[21:25] ---
    Well, the reason is...
[21:26] ---
    The reason is?
[21:28] ---
    I mean, it's a common trope that
    superheroes have secret identities, right?
[21:31] ---
    What kind of logic is that?
[21:35] ---
    A new Illegal monster has appeared!
[21:37] ---
    All right! Good luck!
[21:41] ---
    I guess I don't need to
    hide who I am anymore.
[21:47] ---
    Cosmoman, lend me your strength!
[21:49] ---
    Transform!
[21:59] ---
    Cosmoman is off to save
    the day once again!
[22:02] ---
    You can do it, Cosmoman!
[22:04] ---
    Don't give up, Cosmoman!
[22:06] ---
    Protect the smiles of the innocent!
[22:13] ---
    Ran! Ran! Ga-woo!
[22:16] ---
    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] ---
    Spiral Thunderaxe, King Agito!
[22:26] ---
    He's a size 3 monster, and you can place six
    Linkdragon Order cards from your field...
[22:29] ---
    and drop zone in his soul when you call him.
[22:32] ---
    King Agito is the only monster with Spiral Dragon Share,
[22:35] ---
    which lets him use all the Dragon Share abilities
    of the Linkdragon Order monsters in the soul!
[22:39] ---
    He's the ace of the Linkdragon Order,
    which team up and battle together!
[22:42] ---
    Thunderaxe, Agito has Double Attack.
[22:45] ---
    Harahara lets you regain life.
[22:46] ---
    Kaina increases critical.
[22:48] ---
    I especially recommend
    placing those three in the soul!
[22:51] ---
    If you've got King Agito on the field, you can use
    the Impact, Thunder Dragon Tornado at no cost!
[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] ---
