The Shadowverse National Tournament
keeps getting more and more exciting!
***SIGN*** Episode 10
Mauro's Spellcasting!
**[01:49] Gu**
*We have our fighters for the seminfinals!*
***SIGN*** National Tournament
**[01:53] Gu**
* In the A Block, we've got Hiro Ryugasaki*
* and Mauro Abelard!*
**[01:58] Gu**
* In the B Block, it's Shiro Kiriyama*
* and Luca Yonazuki!*
**[02:03] Gu**
What do these four have in store for us?
**[02:07] Gu**
I can't wait to find out!
**[02:12] Gu**
Only Hiro made it to the semifinals.
**[02:15] Gu**
I was looking forward
to fighting him in the finals, too.
**[02:18] Gi**
Yeah...
**[02:20] Gi**
But I'm glad I even got a chance
to be in the tournament!
**[02:23] Gi**
And it'll be fun to cheer him on, too!
**[02:27] Gu**
That's true!
**[02:29] Gu**
But he's up against that guy
next time, right?
**[02:33] Gu**
Uh... Mauro, right?
**[02:35] Gu**
The guy who just wiped the floor with Kai.
**[02:37] Gi**
Yeah.
**[02:38] Gi**
I'm sure he's really strong.
**[02:44] Gu**
I can't wait to battle Mauro!
**[02:49] Gi**
No need to worry, huh?
**[02:50] Gu**
Yup.
**[02:52] Gu**
Did you say something?
**[02:53] Gu**
Nope. Nothing.
**[02:56] Gi**
Not a word!
**[03:08] Gu**
See you in the finals.
**[03:10] Gu**
Yeah. I'll go battle with all my might!
**[03:29] Gu**
Nice to meet you!
**[03:31] Gu**
Nice to meet you.
**[03:34] Gu**
*Okay, it's time to get started!*
**[03:37] Gu**
It's the first match of the semifinals!
**[03:39] Gu**
Let's introduce our players!
**[03:42] Gu**
First, it's Mauro Abelard,
the Havencraft user!
**[03:47] Gu**
* His past is shrouded in mystery,*
* but his power is real!*
**[03:51] Gu**
And his opponent, Hiro Ryugasaki,
**[03:55] Gu**
* who has made it this far*
* in a series of stunning turnabouts!*
**[03:59] Gu**
* Let's hope he can give us*
* another amazing battle!*
**[04:03] Gu**
Battle! Shadowverse!
**[04:28] Gu**
Draw.
**[04:30] Gu**
I play an amulet card, Summon Pegasus.
**[04:36] Gu**
That's...
**[04:37] Gu**
*Mauro starts off with an amulet card!*
**[04:40] Gu**
* This special card has no attack*
* and no defense!*
**[04:43] Gu**
*What will he do with it?*
**[04:47] Gu**
This isn't a normal amulet card.
**[04:50] Gu**
What do you mean?
**[04:51] Gu**
You'll know soon.
**[04:53] Gu**
I end my turn.
**[04:56] Gu**
Then it's my turn!
**[04:59] Gu**
Draw!
**[05:01] Gu**
I play Bejeweled Dragon,
and end my turn!
**[05:06] Gu**
I draw, then.
**[05:09] Gu**
What?
**[05:10] Gu**
It's a Countdown.
**[05:12] Gu**
The number decreases at the start
of each of my turns.
**[05:16] Gu**
When it reaches 0, the amulet is destroyed
and its Last Words activate.
**[05:21] Gu**
This card's effect creates a Pegasus
on the field.
**[05:26] Gu**
I play Holy Sentinel.
**[05:30] Gu**
Its effect activates.
**[05:32] Gu**
For every follower and amulet
the opponent controls,
**[05:35] Gu**
its Countdown advances by 1.
**[05:38] Gu**
I end my turn.
**[05:40] Gu**
My turn!
**[05:42] Gu**
Draw!
***SIGN*** Mushussu
***SIGN*** Maelstrom Dragon
**[05:44] Gu**
Here I go!
**[05:45] Gu**
Dragon Rider!
**[05:46] Gu**
And then, I attack your leader
with Bejeweled Dragon!
**[05:55] Gu**
I end my turn!
**[05:56] Gu**
My turn, then.
**[06:00] Gu**
Draw.
**[06:02] Gu**
Beastcall Aria.
**[06:08] Gu**
*Wh-What's this?*
**[06:11] Gu**
* Mauro's made a bold choice:*
* to play amulet cards three turns in a row!*
**[06:16] Gu**
*He hasn't played a single follower!*
**[06:18] Gu**
Let's take our time.
**[06:21] Gu**
I end my turn.
**[06:24] Gu**
Draw!
***SIGN*** Dragon Oracle
**[06:26] Gu**
* Countdown amulets take a while*
* for their effects to activate.*
**[06:31] Gu**
*So...*
**[06:32] Gu**
I play Dragon Oracle,
**[06:34] Gu**
and increase my play points by 1.
**[06:38] Gu**
And then I attack your leader
with two followers!
**[06:44] Gu**
* It seems Mauro's in no hurry,*
* but Hiro's wearing him down!*
**[06:49] Gu**
Nice, Hiro!
**[06:51] Gu**
If you keep this up, you can win!
**[06:53] Gu**
What's wrong, Mimori?
**[06:55] Gi**
N-Nothing...
**[06:57] Gi**
I've just got a bad feeling.
**[07:01] Gu**
You're rushing.
**[07:03] Gu**
It's those Countdowns.
**[07:05] Gu**
I can't take my time!
**[07:08] Gu**
Is that right?
**[07:10] Gu**
Then maybe I'll rush a little, too.
**[07:14] Gu**
Spell card: Hallowed Dogma.
**[07:17] Gu**
It advances every Countdown I have by 2,
**[07:21] Gu**
and I draw a card.
***SIGN*** Hare of Illusions
***SIGN*** Tribunal of Good and Evil
**[07:24] Gu**
Its Countdown reaches zero,
and Holy Sentinel is destroyed.
**[07:30] Gu**
Its Last Words activate.
**[07:33] Gu**
Come forth, Guardian Fox.
**[07:40] Gu**
* Wow! Mauro played a spell*
* to advance his Countdowns!*
**[07:46] Gu**
I didn't know there was a spell
that could do that!
**[07:47] Gu**
Then I play Blackened Scripture,
banishing your Dragon Rider.
**[07:56] Gu**
A powerful spell that banishes the follower
with the highest defense!
**[08:00] Gu**
Mauro's turned the battle around!
**[08:03] Gu**
Now, your turn.
**[08:06] Gu**
Right!
**[08:07] Gu**
Draw!
**[08:08] Gu**
I play Sandstorm Dragon
and Firstborn Dragon!
**[08:13] Gu**
Evolve Firstborn Dragon!
**[08:17] Gu**
I attack your Guardian Fox
with Firstborn Dragon and Bejeweled Dragon!
**[08:25] Gu**
I end my turn!
**[08:26] Gu**
Draw.
**[08:30] Gu**
Summon Pegasus's Countdown reaches 0.
**[08:37] Gu**
Take flight, Pegasus!
**[08:40] Gu**
A Pegasus soars into the arena!
**[08:44] Gu**
* It looks tough, but it*
* can't attack on the turn it's played.*
**[08:49] Gu**
I play Sky Sprite!
**[08:53] Gu**
It gives Rush to one follower I control.
**[08:59] Gu**
I evolve Sky Sprite!
**[09:04] Gu**
And attack with both.
**[09:12] Gu**
*A powerful combo!*
**[09:14] Gu**
Mauro's a master!
**[09:16] Gu**
And then I play a Countdown amulet,
Hare of Illusions.
**[09:23] Gu**
How about that?
**[09:29] Gu**
That surprised me!
**[09:31] Gu**
So that's how you use Countdown amulets, huh?
**[09:34] Gu**
I'm glad you're enjoying it.
**[09:36] Gu**
Yeah, this is great fun!
**[09:39] Gu**
My turn!
**[09:42] Gu**
I play Dragon Warrior and Mushussu.
**[09:45] Gu**
I evolve Dragon Warrior!
**[09:50] Gu**
It does 3 damage to your Pegasus
and then attacks your Sky Sprite.
**[09:57] Gu**
Mushussu's effect activates!
**[10:00] Gu**
Whenever a follower evolves,
its attack power goes up by 2!
**[10:04] Gu**
*Amazing! Hiro's turned around the battle!*
**[10:09] Gu**
Yes!
**[10:10] Gu**
You know?
**[10:12] Gu**
I end my turn!
**[10:13] Gu**
How about that, Mauro?
**[10:15] Gu**
I'm not sure what answer you want,
**[10:22] Gu**
but all I can say is, "Weak."
**[10:26] Gu**
What?
**[10:26] Gu**
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What is this?
**[10:28] Gu**
The Countdown hits 0,
as if he's been waiting for this moment!
**[10:32] Gu**
Two followers enter the field!
**[10:34] Gu**
Holyflame Tiger evolves.
**[10:37] Gu**
Along with the Holy Falcon,
which has Storm, it attacks.
**[10:46] Gu**
M-My followers got wiped out again?
**[10:48] Gu**
* Mauro turned it around*
* by using his evolve ability!*
**[10:52] Gu**
* I can't take my eyes off*
* these amazing combos!*
**[10:56] Gu**
Nice, Mauro!
**[10:58] Gu**
You seem to be having fun.
**[10:59] Gu**
Yeah, this battle is tons of fun!
**[11:03] Gu**
I see.
**[11:05] Gu**
Descend, God of Curses!
**[11:14] Gu**
*What is that follower?*
**[11:16] Gu**
*It's... eerie.*
**[11:19] Gu**
* Let's see how much longer*
* you can enjoy this battle.*
**[11:24] Gu**
I end my turn.
**[11:26] Gu**
Mauro has two followers!
**[11:28] Gu**
*And they've both got attack powers of 6!*
**[11:31] Gu**
*This is the big moment, Hiro!*
**[11:34] Gu**
*Yeah. I need to do something.*
**[11:37] Gu**
*I know!*
**[11:38] Gu**
Go... I believe in you, Ignis Dragon!
**[11:49] Gu**
There it is!
**[11:51] Gu**
Hiro's trump card,
the ultra-powerful card!
**[11:56] Gu**
Yes!
**[11:58] Gu**
Now if he attacks that "God of Curses" guy,
he'll turn it around!
**[12:02] Gi**
Hiro's so great!
**[12:04] Gu**
No.
**[12:06] Gi**
Kai?
**[12:07] Gi**
He can't attack that follower!
**[12:11] Gi**
I lost to it.
**[12:14] Gu**
Here I go, Mauro!
**[12:16] Gu**
I attack your God of Curses
with my Ignis Dragon,
**[12:21] Gu**
and its on-attack effect activates,
doing 3 damage to all your followers!
**[12:29] Gu**
*There we go!*
**[12:31] Gu**
* Mauro's helpless against these*
* overwhelming attacks!*
**[12:34] Gu**
Okay! I end my turn!
**[12:43] Gu**
Wh-What's so funny?
**[12:45] Gu**
Of course this is funny!
***SIGN*** Dream Rabbit
***SIGN*** Hydra
**[13:06] Gu**
The thought of your smile twisting
in pain makes me laugh so hard!
**[13:14] Gu**
Wh-What?
**[13:16] Gu**
Be reborn, God of Curses!
**[13:26] Gu**
That's the guy... from before?
**[13:30] Gu**
God of Curses comes back into play
and evolves the turn after it's destroyed.
**[13:36] Gu**
Its attack goes to 0, but it gets Ambush.
**[13:40] Gu**
And that's not all.
**[13:43] Gu**
It will make you suffer!
**[13:46] Gu**
But first, let's have some fun!
**[13:52] Gu**
I shall render your judgment.
**[13:54] Gu**
I play the amulet card,
Tribunal of Good and Evil.
**[13:57] Gu**
What?
**[13:58] Gu**
Its effect activates,
destroying one of your followers at random.
**[14:06] Gu**
My Ignis Dragon!
**[14:08] Gu**
Your trump card is done for.
**[14:11] Gu**
I play Divine Birdsong.
**[14:17] Gu**
Now I end my turn.
**[14:20] Gu**
But your pain begins now.
**[14:24] Gu**
The effect for God of Curses activates!
**[14:31] Gu**
When my turn ends,
the enemy leader's defense decreases by 5!
**[14:44] Gu**
*Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What is this?*
**[14:48] Gu**
* This terrifying ability lets him decrease*
* an enemy leader's defense without attacking!*
**[14:52] Gi**
N-No!
**[14:54] Gu**
That's the follower.
**[14:56] Gu**
That's the follower that cost me the game.
**[14:59] Gu**
S-Seriously?
**[15:00] Gu**
B-But 5 damage is no big deal!
**[15:04] Gu**
You just need to heal.
**[15:06] Gu**
It doesn't do 5 damage to the enemy leader.
**[15:10] Gu**
It decreases the enemy leader's
max defense by 5!
**[15:14] Gi**
Does that mean...
**[15:16] Gu**
Yes.
**[15:16] Gu**
When your defense is decreased,
it doesn't come back.
**[15:20] Gu**
Hiro, I couldn't win.
**[15:25] Gu**
Will you...
**[15:28] Gu**
You won't give up, right?
**[15:31] Gu**
Yeah. I'm fighting somebody
strong, like you!
**[15:35] Gu**
It'd be a waste if I gave up here!
***SIGN*** Dragonic Charge
**[15:38] Gu**
*Dragonic Charge...*
**[15:39] Gu**
*It can give Storm to one of my followers.*
**[15:44] Gu**
* That won't turn it around,*
* but there's a chance!*
***SIGN*** Maelstrom Dragon
**[15:48] Gu**
I play Imprisoned Dragon!
**[15:52] Gu**
*And then...*
**[15:55] Gu**
*No, it's not time for that yet!*
**[15:58] Gu**
I end my turn.
**[16:01] Gu**
* Hiro ended his turn*
* after playing just one follower with Ward.*
**[16:07] Gu**
Hiro... are you doomed, too?
**[16:10] Gu**
Stop being so gloomy.
**[16:13] Gu**
Hiro'll be fine, you know?
**[16:15] Gu**
But...
**[16:16] Gu**
Look.
**[16:18] Gu**
At Hiro's face.
**[16:24] Gu**
See?
**[16:26] Gu**
Very well.
**[16:27] Gu**
Keep struggling.
**[16:30] Gu**
The Countdown for Hare of Illusions reaches 0.
**[16:34] Gu**
A Dream Rabbit with Ward enters play.
**[16:37] Gu**
I also play Sister Initiate!
**[16:43] Gu**
Divine Birdsong's Countdown reaches 0.
**[16:47] Gu**
A Regal Falcon with Storm enters play!
**[16:52] Gu**
I attack your Imprisoned Dragon
with Regal Falcon!
**[17:00] Gu**
And end my turn.
**[17:01] Gu**
And then...
**[17:06] Gu**
And you suffer again.
**[17:09] Gu**
Despair gradually overtakes you.
**[17:18] Gu**
I'm shivering here!
**[17:21] Gu**
*He's slowly, slowly, draining Hiro's life!*
**[17:25] Gu**
*What will Hiro do?*
**[17:29] Gu**
Draw!
***SIGN*** Wyvern Cavalier
**[17:31] Gu**
Okay!
**[17:32] Gu**
I play Wyvern Cavalier!
**[17:36] Gu**
Its effect activates,
lowering the cost of one card by 2!
***SIGN*** Maelstrom Dragon
***SIGN*** Dragonic Charge
**[17:41] Gu**
And then I play Maelstrom Dragon,
**[17:44] Gu**
which gets Storm in Overflow!
**[17:49] Gu**
I attack your Dream Rabbit!
**[17:51] Gu**
Dream Rabbit's Last Words activate,
**[17:54] Gu**
creating a Hare of Illusions.
**[18:00] Gu**
As long as I have this amulet,
I'll never run out of Ward.
**[18:04] Gu**
So, will you evolve and attack me next?
**[18:07] Gu**
I don't mind.
**[18:11] Gu**
No, I end my turn.
**[18:14] Gu**
*What's gotten into Hiro?*
**[18:16] Gu**
*Does he have a plan?*
**[18:18] Gu**
*Or has he given up?*
**[18:22] Gu**
That was faster than I expected.
**[18:24] Gu**
Well, it happens.
**[18:28] Gu**
As you wish, I'll end this.
**[18:31] Gu**
I play Cursed Maiden.
**[18:34] Gu**
Cursed Maiden's first effect activates,
**[18:38] Gu**
advancing all my Countdowns by 1.
**[18:44] Gu**
What?
**[18:45] Gu**
Tribunal of Good and Evil's
Last Words activate,
**[18:48] Gu**
destroying one enemy follower.
**[18:50] Gu**
It can destroy a follower
when its Countdown goes to 0, too?
**[18:54] Gu**
There are more surprises in store.
**[18:56] Gu**
Cursed Maiden's second effect activates,
**[18:59] Gu**
allowing me to put a card
with Last Words from my deck into my hand.
**[19:04] Gu**
No way...
***SIGN*** Urd
**[19:05] Gu**
Descend, God of Curses!
***SIGN*** God of Curses
**[19:12] Gu**
And there's more!
**[19:14] Gu**
A second God of Curses!
**[19:18] Gu**
I end my turn.
**[19:25] Gu**
I love that face.
**[19:27] Gu**
That's what I wanted to see.
**[19:29] Gu**
You're not having fun now, right?
**[19:31] Gu**
It hurts, right?
**[19:34] Gu**
Don't worry. It's over.
**[19:36] Gu**
You just have 5 defense left.
**[19:39] Gu**
One more turn and you lose.
**[19:43] Gu**
Even if you can destroy all my followers,
**[19:47] Gu**
God of Curses will return to play evolved.
**[19:52] Gu**
So you lose either way.
**[19:54] Gu**
You understand that, right?
**[19:57] Gu**
That's why you played
useless cards, wasted time,
**[20:01] Gu**
and didn't evolve.
**[20:02] Gu**
You gave up!
**[20:04] Gu**
Right?
**[20:06] Gu**
"Gave up"?
**[20:08] Gu**
Nope, Mauro.
**[20:10] Gu**
I've never given up.
**[20:12] Gu**
I know the battle's not over!
**[20:17] Gu**
Even in this state,
you still believe such nonsense?
**[20:23] Gu**
Yes. Because you never know
who'll win until the end!
**[20:27] Gu**
That's how Shadowverse works, right?
**[20:29] Gu**
My turn! Draw!
**[20:38] Gu**
*He played Hydra!*
**[20:40] Gu**
A powerful card with double attack!
**[20:43] Gu**
*Has he been saving it for this moment?*
**[20:51] Gu**
A Hydra?
**[20:52] Gu**
What will you do with it?
**[20:54] Gu**
The evolved God of Curses has Ambush.
**[20:58] Gu**
You can't attack it!
**[21:00] Gu**
And even if you destroy the unevolved one,
it'll come back next turn.
**[21:05] Gu**
It's useless! All of it!
**[21:07] Gu**
It's not useless!
**[21:09] Gu**
Here I go, Mauro!
**[21:10] Gu**
I've got this to help me!
**[21:13] Gu**
Spell Card: Dragonic Charge!
**[21:16] Gu**
It gives my follower Storm!
**[21:21] Gu**
No... impossible!
**[21:23] Gu**
That spell card's cost is 5!
**[21:26] Gu**
He can't use it with a Hydra,
which costs 7.
**[21:30] Gu**
Wyvern Cavalier?
**[21:31] Gu**
Yes.
**[21:32] Gu**
I used the Wyvern Cavalier
to lower its cost!
**[21:37] Gu**
Evolve, Hydra!
**[21:39] Gu**
And Dragonic Charge's effect gives it
plus 1 to attack and defense!
**[21:46] Gu**
* Playing Wyvern Cavalier... Destroying my*
* Ward card with Maelstrom Dragon...*
**[21:50] Gu**
* No, not just that. When he protected himself*
* with Imprisoned Dragon...*
**[21:55] Gu**
*It was all for this?*
**[21:57] Gu**
You don't know who'll win a game
of Shadowverse until it's over!
**[22:00] Gu**
So I won't give up until the end!
**[22:03] Gu**
Hydra, attack the leader twice!
**[22:06] Gu**
Go!
**[22:25] Gu**
Hiro wins!
**[22:33] Gu**
I won today.
**[22:35] Gu**
So it seems.
**[22:37] Gu**
I'd expect no less from the son
of Eiji Ryugasaki, I guess.
**[22:44] Gu**
Hey, wait!
**[22:46] Gu**
What did you say?
**[22:47] Gu**
How did you know about my dad?
**[22:53] Gu**
You'll know someday.
**[22:59] Gu**
*Incredible!*
**[23:00] Gu**
*What an incredible battle!*
**[23:02] Gu**
*Hiro Ryugasaki's going to the finals!*
**[23:05] Gu**
* Now let's find out*
* who'll be his opponent in the final round,*
**[23:07] Gu**
I'm stronger than I was.
**[23:10] Gu**
I'm not who I used to be!
**[23:12] Gu**
*Shiro Kiriyama or Luca Yonazuki?*
**[23:12] Gu**
So...
**[23:14] Gu**
You don't need to hold back anymore!
