[01:55] Gu     I appreciate the invitation, Hiro, [01:58] Gu     but I'm summarizing data     on how seawater affects Shadowverse players. [02:05] Gu     So you're saying that you can't swim. [02:09] Gu     I, um... [02:12] Gu     I was right. Look how nervous he is. [02:17] Gu     More importantly,     you should read this, Kazuki Shindo! [02:21] Gu     Jumping into the ocean without taking     appropriate precautions is extremely dangerous! [02:27] Gu     And extremely foolish! [02:28] Gu     Just look at the number of incidents last year. [02:31] Gu     Stop! [02:32] Gu     We can talk about that later. [02:35] Gu     Kazuki, let's race to the beach! [02:37] Gu     Yeah!

[03:16] Gu     What's with all this seaweed? [03:20] Gu     A dolphin! [03:25] Gu     Why's it following me, y'know?! [03:28] Gu     That's likely a young bottlenose dolphin. [03:32] Gu     Perhaps it's mistaken Kazuki Shindo     for a friend and is playing with him. [03:36] Gu     Or... it's hungry. [03:39] Gu     You're scaring me! [03:45] Gi     It's so nice to have a day off. [03:47] Gu     Help me! [03:50] Gi     Not my problem, I guess.

[11:34] Gi     Thank you all for coming     to the Shadow Grand Prix, [11:37] Gi     the battle to determine     the ultimate Shadowverse player. [11:46] Gi     First, we'll tell about this island and      the rules of the tournament! SIGN    Lurching Corpse SIGN    Bloodhungry Matriarch [12:11] Gu     This is the world's first island     purchased and developed [12:16] Gu     by the Genesis Company for the purpose     of playing Shadowverse: Genesis Island! [12:20] Gu     That's where we were swimming! [12:23] Gu     This island's really big! [12:26] Gu     There are facilities like this     all around the island. [12:30] Gu     Players like us are probably      being gathered from all over. [12:35] Gu     Genesis Company's technology has allowed us [12:39] Gu     to put many types of modern systems     around the island. [12:43] Gu     One of these is the Virtual Externalizing     Sharing Ubiquitous System. [12:50] Gu     The Vir-what? [12:52] Gu     Virtual Externalizing Sharing Ubiquitous System. [12:56] Gu     That means a system that's all around us     and can create holographic projections. [13:01] Gu     We call it Versus! [13:04] Gu     Oh, Versus! [13:05] Gu     Versus! Got it! [13:09] Gi     D-Do you really get it? [13:12] Gu     Versus is a modification     of existing VR technology [13:16] Gu     that links with a fiber-optic network     laid all around the island, [13:19] Gu     as well as a processing system     in the central tower, [13:23] Gu     allowing the use of VR anywhere on the island     without the use of special VR gear. [13:30] Gu     Like this, for example. [13:55] Gu     Seriously? [13:58] Gi     Can I touch it? [14:00] Gi     You can enjoy incredible battles     anywhere on the island at any time! [14:10] Gu     Versus is amazing!     It lets you play VR battles anywhere! [14:14] Gu     Versus looks so fun! [14:17] Gi     Next we will explain the rules     of the Shadow Grand Prix! [14:25] Gu     Okay, it's my turn to present! [14:29] Gu     The Shadow Grand Prix uses a point system. [14:32] Gu     At the start of the tournament,     you'll have three points! [14:36] Gu     If you can battle your way to ten points,     you'll go up a rank! [14:42] Gu     You'll go from Bronze to Silver,     then Silver to Gold! [14:49] Gu     But...! [14:51] Gu     Once you rank up,     you'll go back to three points! [14:54] Gu     So you'll need to get up to ten points again. [14:58] Gu     You can only battle players     of the same rank as you. [15:03] Gu     And if you get down to zero points,     you'll be eliminated, [15:07] Gu     and removed from the island! [15:10] Gu     And the most important     thing to keep in mind: [15:14] Gu     The top seven players who make it     to Gold Rank within 24 hours [15:21] Gu     will be named Legends and allowed     to enter the final tournament! [15:29] Gu     Seven Legends... [15:31] Gu     So only seven of the people here can win? [15:35] Gi     And first you'll have earn      Gold Rank within 24 hours. [15:40] Gu     Th-That's really rough! [15:43] Gu     That ends the explanation of the rules! [15:46] Gu     Get excited, everyone! [15:51] Gu     I-I'm not sure I can do it. [15:55] Gu     You'll be just fine! [15:57] Gu     It looks like tons of fun! [16:03] Gu     Hey! What are you doing? [16:06] Gi     He said the explanation was over, [16:08] Gi     but he forgot some important stuff. [16:11] Gi     The prizes. The prize money! [16:13] Gi     That's why we're here! [16:21] Gu     Prize money? [16:22] Gu     Th-That's right. [16:24] Gu     He didn't mention anything     about that, actually. [16:26] Gu     What happens if we win? [16:29] Gu     I'm very sorry. [16:31] Gu     The prize of the tournament is... SIGN    Grand Prix Winner [16:34] Gu     The Grand Prix Winner will be given the title     of CEO of the Genesis Company. [16:37] Gu     Genesis Company CEO [16:41] Gu     What the hell? [16:43] Gu     Th-The CEO? What does that mean? [16:46] Gu     What it says. [16:53] Gi     If we win, we get     the Genesis Company itself. [16:59] Gu     Correct. [17:00] Gu     The instant you win, you're the new CEO. [17:04] Gu     You get everything I own. [17:11] Gu     I don't understand. [17:13] Gu     Why would you do that? [17:15] Gu     There's nothing in it for you. [17:17] Gu     There is. [17:27] Gu     There's something needed in order     to operate, manage, and grow Shadowverse. [17:33] Gu     Love. [17:35] Gu     Love for Shadowverse. [17:39] [SONG] Gu     Sacred Leo [17:49] Gu     I love Shadowverse. [17:52] Gu     If someone loves it more than I do,     I want them to have it all. [18:00] Gu     That's why I brought you here.

[18:43] Gu     That's more than enough money     to have a few years of fun. [18:49] Gu     Hey, who do you think you are,     putting your elbows on my head? [18:53] Gu     You should apologize. [18:56] Gu     Oh, you're strong for someone so small. [19:00] Gu     You should get smaller. [19:02] Gu     If you don't want to end up as our target. [19:09] Gu     Who are those two? [19:11] Gu     The Joubert Sisters? [19:13] Gu     Even people like them? [19:16] Gu     I've heard they'll do anything for money. [19:18] Gu     I don't want them coming after me. [19:20] Gu     They're famous, I guess. [19:24] Gu     Are they your type, Hiro? [19:29] Gu     Are they? [19:32] Gu     Don't write it down, Kai!     It's not true! [19:35] Gu     But... I don't know if they're famous. [19:39] Gu     I think I can't lose to them. [19:42] Gu     All players will now be transported to      various points throughout the island. [19:47] Gu     Please come forward     when we call your name. [19:50] Gu     It's time. [19:53] Gu     Let's each become one of the seven! [19:55] ---     Yeah!
