**[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] ---**

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] ---**
