    A Terrible Trap! Zuo and Ko
[01:44] Gu
    It's quiet.
[01:47] Gu
    How long has it been since
    I've had a chance to relax like this?
[01:52] Gu
    I've been so busy doing my best
    to prove I'm a genius.
[01:58] Gu
    Oh, wow, that's quotable.
    I should write it down.
[02:03] Gu
    "How long has it..."
[02:04] Gu
    What are you writing?
[02:08] Gu
    Wh-Wh-What's your problem?
[02:10] Gu
    I'm Silver Rank now.
    I can't fight you. You're Bronze.
[02:14] Gu
    That's fine, but...
[02:16] Gu
    Actually, I have a problem.
[02:18] Gu
    Wait!
[02:20] Gu
    Listen!
[02:21] Gu
    No.
[02:22] Gu
    My phone...
[02:24] Gu
    I don't care.
[02:25] Gu
    A monkey took it.
[02:26] Gu
    I don't care—
[02:29] Gu
    Huh?
[02:31] Gu
    I told you.
[02:35] Gu
    First, a gorilla came after me.
[02:55] (Flashback) Gu
    Wh-What?
[03:05] (Flashback) Gu
    Hey!
[03:06] (Flashback) Gu
    Hey! Give back my phone, y'know!
[03:10] (Flashback) Gu
    Y'know!
[03:11] (Flashback) Gu
    Y'know!
[03:11] Gu
    So you can't battle and you've run all over the island,
    chased by animals, looking for someone to help?
[03:17] Gu
    Yup!
[03:18] Gu
    I'm too shocked to speak.
[03:21] Gu
    You just spoke.
[03:26] Gu
    Scary!
[03:28] Gu
    This is your phone's current location!
[03:31] Gu
    It's close, y'know!
[03:32] Gu
    Thank you, Kai!
    You're the best friend in the world!
[03:36] Gu
    We're not friends—
[03:40] Gu
    He's gone!
[03:46] Gu
    My quiet time has finally returned.
[03:50] Gu
    I don't know about that!
[03:57] Gu
    You're another Silver Rank, huh?
[04:00] Gu
    I, Zuo, will defeat you!
[04:04] Gu
    I'm lucky. I can get to Gold Rank
    without having to move.
[04:10] Gu
    Battle! Shadowverse!
[04:12] Gu
    My turn! Draw!
[04:21] Gu
    Not a bad hand.
[04:23] Gu
    But I'll end my turn.
[04:25] Gu
    My turn, then.
[04:27] Gu
    I play the Spell Card Insight,
    and draw a card from my deck.
[04:32] Gu
    Runecraft?
[04:34] Gu
    Nobody's got time for that lame Spellboost crap!
[04:39] Gu
    Sometimes the slower method is the best one.
[04:42] Gu
    I end my turn.
[04:44] Gu
    You suck!
[04:46] Gu
    Come out! Date Masamune!
[04:48] Gu
    I end my turn!
[04:49] Gu
    My turn.
[04:51] Gu
    First, a baptism of the wind: Wind Blast!
[04:54] Gu
    Spellboost gives it 1 additional damage.
[04:59] Gu
    That's 2 damage to Date Masamune!
[05:02] Gu
    Nice wind!
[05:04] Gu
    A small wind to begin with,
[05:05] Gu
    and then it's a hurricane.
[05:07] Gu
    Every Spellboost makes Wind Blast more powerful.
[05:11] Gu
    I end my turn.
[05:13] Gu
    My turn!
[05:14] Gu
    I play Sky Dragon Ethica!
[05:17] Gu
    She's crazy once she evolves! So be careful!
[05:21] Gu
    I end my turn.
[05:22] Gu
    I see. Then I'll destroy her first.
[05:27] Gu
    Spell Card: Rite of Exorcism.
[05:29] Gu
    It destroys one follower
    with a cost of 3 or less.
[05:34] Gu
    Who's being hunted here?
[05:36] Gu
    I end my turn.
[05:41] Gu
    Don't get cocky.
[05:43] Gu
    Come! Death Dragon!
[05:46] Gu
    He's got 4 defense!
[05:49] Gu
    I don't think the spells in your hand
    can take him down easily, can they?
[05:53] Gu
    Of course they can.
[05:54] Gu
    My turn!
[05:57] Gu
    But I've got two Wind Blasts in my hand,
    with only two Spellboosts.
[06:03] Gu
    I have no choice. I'll...
[06:06] Gu
    I play two Wind Blasts!
[06:10] Gu
    I do 3 and then 4 damage to Death Dragon!
[06:15] Gu
    This is less like a hurricane
    and more like a gentle breeze!
SIGN    Call of Cocytus
[06:19] Gu
    I have a spell in my hand
    that can destroy enemy followers.
[06:22] Gu
    There's no need to worry.
[06:24] ---
    I end my turn.
[06:26] Gu
    Here I go!
[06:27] Gu
    My turn!
[06:34] Gu
    I play Noxious Dragon!
[06:37] Gu
    If that's all you've got—
[06:38] Gu
    You want to destroy it
    with the spell in your hand, right?
[06:41] Gu
    But you can't!
[06:43] Gu
    I play Protection Barrier!
[06:45] Gu
    One of my followers can no longer
    be destroyed by Spell Cards!
[06:49] Gu
    No!
[06:50] Gu
    I end my turn!
[06:54] Gu
    What's wrong?
[06:55] Gu
    You look upset.
[06:58] Gu
    I can't believe he has a spell
    that nullifies destruction.
[07:02] Gu
    It's as though he knows what's in my hand.
[07:06] Gu
    Wait!
[07:07] Gu
    "With the spell in your hand!" 
    "Destroy it with the spell in your hand!"
[07:11] Gu
    "But you can't!"
[07:11] Gu
    He keeps talking about my hand.
[07:15] Gu
    And he always does something strange
    before he plays a card.
[07:19] Gu
    That can mean only one thing!
[07:22] Gu
    You're there, right?
[07:23] Gu
    Come on out!
[07:37] Gu
    I knew it!
[07:38] Gu
    He was looking at my hand!
[07:40] Gu
    So what?
[07:42] Gu
    I told you. This is a hunt!
[07:45] Gu
    And there are no rules in a hunt!
[07:47] Gu
    It's hunt or be hunted. That's all!
[07:49] Gu
    You...
[07:50] Gu
    Now it's your turn.
[07:52] Gu
    Or do you not care if you run out of time?
[07:57] Gu
    There you are!
[07:59] Gu
    K-Kazuki Shindo!
[08:00] Gu
    I found my phone!
[08:03] Gu
    Thanks to you!
[08:05] Gu
    So what's up? You're battling?
[08:08] Gu
    Looks like you brought another one, huh?
[08:10] Gu
    Hey, Ko, what's his rank?
[08:13] Gu
    Bronze.
[08:14] Gu
    Just like me.
[08:15] Gu
    Perfect!
[08:17] Gu
    Let's hunt them both! It's a tag battle!
[08:20] Gu
    Let's do it! Let's do it! Let's do it!
[08:22] Gu
    What is wrong with you?
[08:24] Gu
    My first battle in the Shadow Grand Prix!
[08:27] Gu
    I'm so excited!
[08:31] Gu
    Just don't slow me down.
[08:33] Gu
    Of course!
SIGN    New Entrant
[08:37] Gu
    Battle! Shadowverse!
[08:48] Gu
    You know!
[08:50] Gu
    Spell Card: Fate's Hand!
[08:53] Gu
    The spell's effect lets me draw two cards,
    and I end my turn.
[08:57] Gu
    I see. My turn.
[09:00] Gu
    I play Lilith and Demonic Sniper.
[09:03] Gu
    And attack your leader with Noxious Dragon.
[09:08] Gu
    I end my turn.
[09:10] Gu
    Be careful.
[09:11] Gu
    They're experienced at tag battles.
[09:14] Gu
    Leave it to me!
[09:15] Gu
    It's my turn, you know?
[09:17] Gu
    First, I play the Spell Card Whole-Souled Swing!
[09:20] Gu
    I do 2 damage to Demonic Sniper!
[09:24] Gu
    And then Whole-Souled Swing's
    effect activates.
[09:27] Gu
    If your opponent controls
    more followers than you do,
[09:31] Gu
    it creates a Knight!
[09:33] Gu
    And then I evolve it!
[09:35] Gu
    I attack the Noxious Dragon!
[09:40] Gu
    And then I play Courageous Knight!
[09:43] Gu
    His effect creates a Steelclad Knight!
[09:47] Gu
    And now I end my turn!
[09:49] Gu
    How about that?
[09:51] Gu
    Not bad, for Kazuki Shindo.
[09:54] Gu
    What do you mean by "not bad"?
[09:56] Gu
    I mean, "not bad."
[09:58] Gu
    Not enough, but it met
     the bare minimum.
[10:03] Gu
    Don't you know that?
[10:04] Gu
    That's not what I meant!
[10:06] Gu
    Of course I know what it means!
[10:08] Gu
    "Not bad" means not bad!
[10:10] Gu
    It's my turn!
[10:12] Gu
    I use Lilith to attack Courageous Knight,
    and her effect does 1 damage to both leaders!
[10:19] Gu
    But both Lilith and Courageous Knight
    will die, right?
[10:24] Gu
    I like my prey lively!
[10:27] Gu
    Spell Card: Dragon Counsel!
[10:29] Gu
    I discard one card to draw three!
[10:33] Gu
    Now I'll show you...
[10:35] Gu
    I play the Amulet Card: Dragonsong Flute!
[10:40] Gu
    And her Overflow ability activates!
[10:47] Gu
    What was that?
[10:49] Gu
    You don't know how tag battles work, do you?
[10:52] Gu
    Tag battles are about working together!
[10:55] Gu
    We'll show you hell!
[10:58] Gu
    Right, Ko?
[10:59] Gu
    Yup.
[11:01] Gu
    My turn.
[11:02] Gu
    First, I attack your leader
    with Steelclad Knight!
[11:06] Gu
    It's useless!
[11:08] Gu
    My Steelclad Knight is helping!
[11:11] Gu
    Right, Kai?
[11:12] Gu
    And then!
[11:13] Gu
    You're ignoring me?
[11:14] Gu
    Spell Card: Sorcery Cache.
[11:16] Gu
    It Spellboosts one Spell Card
     in my hand twice.
[11:19] Gu
    And I draw a card!
[11:21] Gu
    Spell Card: Summon Snow!
[11:23] Gu
    It creates a Snowman,
[11:26] Gu
    and then creates one more
    for every Spellboost!
[11:31] Gu
    Look at the Snowmen!
[11:32] Gu
    This is the power of Spellboosts.
[11:34] Gu
    Do you get it?
[11:39] Gu
    What's so funny?
[11:41] Gu
    "Do you get it?" he says.
[11:43] Gu
    Ko, tell him.
[11:45] Gu
    Yeah, I don't get it at all.
[11:49] Gu
    Again?
[11:50] Gu
    Spell Card: Goblin Conscription.
[11:53] Gu
    I add four Goblins to my hand.
[11:56] Gu
    Goblins? Those weak followers that cost 1?
[12:00] Gu
    What's he doing adding those to his hand
    at this stage in the game?
[12:03] Gu
    I told you!
[12:04] Gu
    Tag battles are about working together.
[12:07] Gu
    Dragonsong Flute's ability activates!
[12:11] Gu
    Whenever a card with cost 3
    or less is added to my hand,
[12:14] Gu
    it transforms into a Hellflame Dragon.
[12:18] Gu
    So that's what happened before?
[12:20] Gu
    You finally noticed, huh?
[12:22] Gu
    If you play it in Overflow,
[12:26] Gu
    you can transform cards in your hand
    with a cost of 3 or less into Hellflame Dragons!
[12:31] Gu
    What the heck?
[12:32] Gu
    I play three Hellflame Dragons.
[12:36] Gu
    They cost 3, but they've got 4 attack!
[12:39] Gu
    And they've got Rush!
[12:42] Gu
    Now take this.
[12:49] Gu
    No!
[12:51] Gu
    This is Ko and my combined power!
SIGN    Sky Dragon Ethica
SIGN    Hellflame Dragon
[13:11] Gu
    This time I have to win!
[13:15] Gu
    So your story ends here!
[13:18] Gu
    I attack your leader with Ivy King!
[13:24] Gu
    It's over! Shiro Kiriyama is now Gold!
[13:29] Gu
    He's our 50th Gold Ranker!
[13:33] Gu
    Half of the players have
    already left the island!
[13:37] Gu
    How many will remain
    to see their next battle?
[13:43] Gu
    My turn, y'know!
[13:44] Gu
    I play Sage Commander,
[13:46] Gu
    and its effect raises
    all my followers' attack and defense by 1!
[13:52] Gu
    And then I play Assault Knight!
[13:55] Gu
    When I have a commander card in play,
    it gets Rush!
[13:59] Gu
    I use it to attack a Hellflame Dragon!
[14:02] Gu
    And then attack your leader
    with the Snowmen!
[14:05] Gu
    Kazuki Shindo, we need to take down
    their followers, right?
[14:10] Gu
    But we can't win unless we attack, you know?
[14:12] Gu
    But—
[14:13] Gu
    Shut up already!
[14:14] Gu
    My turn!
[14:16] Gu
    Dragonsong Flute's effect activates!
[14:18] Gu
    Cards with 3 or less cost that get added
    to my hand become Hellflame Dragons!
[14:24] Gu
    I attack one Snowman with a Hellflame Dragon,
    and then your leader with another one!
[14:29] Gu
    Then I play three more, and evolve one!
[14:33] Gu
    I attack your Sage Commander
    with my evolved Hellflame Dragon,
[14:37] Gu
    and then the unevolved one
    attacks the Snowman!
[14:39] Gu
    How many does he have?
[14:41] Gu
    He filled the whole board!
[14:42] Gu
    I'll hunt you to extinction!
[14:44] Gu
    I end my turn!
[14:46] Gu
    I need to do something.
[14:48] Gu
    Draw.
[14:49] Gu
    I need to buy time.
[14:51] Gu
    I play Kaleidoscopic Glow and Angelic Snipe!
[14:54] Gu
    One Hellflame Dragon goes back to your hand,
    and then another takes 1 damage!
[14:58] Gu
    It's useless.
[15:00] Gu
    I play three Magic Missiles!
[15:02] Gu
    Each of the three Dragons takes 1 damage!
[15:06] Gu
    And then Magic Missile's effect
    lets me draw a card!
[15:10] Gu
    Nice, Kai!
[15:11] Gu
    You defeated them all!
[15:13] Gu
    It's no good.
[15:14] Gu
    He's just going to play
    more Hellflame Dragons!
[15:16] Gu
    Look, Ko.
[15:18] Gu
    They're panicking.
[15:19] Gu
    It's futile.
[15:21] Gu
    I end my turn.
[15:22] Gu
    My turn.
[15:25] Gu
    I play three Hellflame Dragons.
[15:29] Gu
    I knew it.
[15:30] Gu
    It doesn't matter how many you destroy.
[15:33] Gu
    We'll just keep playing them!
[15:40] Gu
    What's got you down?
[15:43] Gu
    What? Don't you understand?
[15:46] Gu
    There's no limit to how many
     Hellflame Dragons they can play.
[15:49] Gu
    I know that!
[15:52] Gu
    But you know, Kai...
[15:53] Gu
    We haven't lost yet, right?
[15:55] Gu
    And that means we can still win, you know?
[15:59] Gu
    Now let's show them our power!
[16:04] Gu
    Victorious Blader!
[16:07] Gu
    Victorious Blader's effect activates!
[16:09] Gu
    Any damage dealt to him is reduced
    by 3 until next turn!
[16:15] Gu
    Then I play Veteran Lancer.
[16:17] Gu
    Victorious Blader's other effect
[16:20] Gu
    means that any followers on my side
    get -3 to damage received!
[16:25] Gu
    I evolve Veteran Lancer!
[16:28] Gu
    And attack a Hellflame Dragon!
[16:31] Gu
    Normally they'd both die, but...
[16:34] Gu
    Kai, you're a genius, right?
[16:36] Gu
    Then prove it in this battle!
[16:40] Gu
    Shindo...
[16:45] Gu
    Yes. Of course. That's the plan.
[16:51] Gu
    "Genius"? Huh?
[16:53] Gu
    My turn! Here I go!
[16:55] Gu
    I play two Hellflame Dragons and evolve one!
[16:59] Gu
    And then attack Veteran Lancer
    and Victorious Blader!
[17:05] Gu
    That won't be enough
    to take out Victorious Blader!
[17:08] Gu
    I don't know about that!
[17:10] Gu
    I play Siegfried!
[17:11] Gu
    It destroys one damaged follower!
[17:16] Gu
    No way!
[17:17] Gu
    And then...
[17:18] Gu
    I attack your leader
     with two Hellflame Dragons!
[17:25] Gu
    Now, the hunt reaches its finale!
[17:42] Gu
    K-Kazuki Shindo?
[17:45] Gu
    It's fine. We haven't lost yet, y'know!
[17:51] Gu
    Yes. That's right.
[17:54] Gu
    We haven't lost yet.
    Which means we can still win!
[17:58] Gu
    Draw!
SIGN    Chrono Witch
[18:00] Gu
    It's here.
[18:00] Gu
    But it hasn't been Spellboosted at all,
    so its cost is still 13!
[18:05] Gu
    I can't play it!
[18:08] Gu
    No, wait!
[18:10] Gu
    Geniuses don't think about losing.
[18:12] Gu
    They just think about winning!
[18:15] Gu
    I play Sorcery Cache!
[18:16] Gu
    It Spellboosts a card in my hand twice!
[18:19] Gu
    Spellboosts? At this point in the game?
[18:22] Gu
    Too late!
[18:23] Gu
    No, I'm getting started now!
[18:25] Gu
    Sorcery Cache reduces the cost
    of Fiery Embrace to 0. I play three!
[18:29] Gu
    I destroy three Hellflame Dragons!
[18:31] Gu
    So what?
[18:32] Gu
    I told you. I'm getting started.
[18:35] Gu
    Sorcery Cache Spellboosted Fiery Embrace
    a total of three times, making its cost 0.
[18:42] Gu
    And then it was Spellboosted three more times.
[18:44] Gu
    I made it in time.
[18:46] Gu
    Now, come forth, Chrono Witch!
[18:50] Gu
    Evolve! Turn back time!
[18:56] Gu
    When Chrono Witch evolves,
[18:58] Gu
    all my followers that were destroyed
    the previous turn return to play.
[19:01] Gu
    What?
[19:02] Gu
    Impossible.
[19:04] Gu
    It's possible.
[19:05] Gu
    This is the chemistry created by my calculations
    and Kazuki Shindo's unwavering heart!
[19:10] Gu
    I attack Siegfried with Chrono Witch!
[19:14] Gu
    Simulation complete.
[19:16] Gu
    Impossible!
[19:18] Gu
    This can't be!
[19:19] Gu
    I declare that you will lose next turn.
[19:28] Gu
    I play a Hellflame Dragon and Queen Vampire!
[19:31] Gu
    Queen Vampire's effect creates
    two Forest Bats with Ward!
[19:37] Gu
    I end my turn.
[19:39] Gu
    This is the last turn!
[19:42] Gu
    I play Alexander!
[19:43] Gu
    Alexander has Rush and can
     attack fourteen times!
[19:48] Gu
    F-Fourteen?!
[19:51] Gu
    Alexander attacks the two Forest Bats!
[19:55] Gu
    And then Veteran Lancer attacks your leader!
[20:00] Gu
    How can Ko and I...
[20:02] Gu
    ...lose?!
[20:04] Gu
    End it, Kai!
[20:06] Gu
    I know, Kazuki Shindo!
[20:11] Gu
    Chrono Witch and Victorious Blader
    attack your leader!
[20:33] Gu
    Yes. We won, somehow!
[20:37] Gu
