**[00:37] Itsuki**
Sorry, did we scare you?
**[00:44] Itsuki**
You're a DigiFriend, right?
**[00:46] Itsuki**
What are you doing here?

"My Rhythm Is the Heartbeat of a Devil!"
**[02:38] Itsuki**
There's nothing to be afraid of.
It's okay now.
**[02:42] Itsuki**
Did you get separated
from your partner?
**[02:45] Itsuki**
But if you return to being data,
you'll go back to your smartphone, right?
**[02:55] Itsuki**
You like it when I pat your head?
**[03:00] Itsuki**
What about here?
**[03:07] Itsuki**
You were fine as you were...
**[03:12] Itsuki**
Did your partner drop their phone?
**[03:21] Itsuki**
I guess there aren't any phones
around here with Shadowverse installed.
**[03:31] Itsuki**
Yeah, that's right.
**[03:33] Itsuki**
Hey, can you take us to your owner?
**[03:44] Itsuki**
Don't worry. I'll talk to them.
**[04:14] Itsuki**
Sure, but don't scare him.
**[04:23] Itsuki**
Sorry!
**[04:39] Itsuki**
* DigiFriends can always go back to their*
* owners' smartphones, so he isn't lost.*
**[04:46] Itsuki**
*He doesn't seem to be running away,*
**[04:49] Itsuki**
* and it doesn't seem like*
* his owner dropped their smartphone.*
**[04:56] Itsuki**
*Which means the reason he's alone...*
**[05:07] Itsuki**
*Is that possible?*
**[05:10] Itsuki**
*To do that to your DigiFriend...*
**[05:13] Itsuki**
Well, I won't know
until I talk to them, right?
**[05:28] Ren**
Where'd Tsubasa go?
**[05:32] Gentleman**
Why? Why are you thinking
about Tsubasa Takanashi?
**[05:37] Ren**
You scared me!
Is that you, Gentleman?
**[05:40] Ren**
I thought you were a ghost!
**[05:42] Gentleman**
There are no ghosts out at this hour.
**[05:44] Gentleman**
And anyway, ghosts are unscientific.
**[05:48] Ren**
Huh? Ghosts are real.
**[05:50] Ren**
I've seen one.
**[05:53] Ren**
I looked outside the window
late one night and saw a white—
**[05:56] Gentleman**
Stop! Stop!
**[05:58] Gentleman**
No! Don't talk about that!
**[06:01] Ren**
Stare...
**[06:05] Gentleman**
Ahem!
**[06:06] Ren**
Were you acting kind of odd just now?
**[06:09] Gentleman**
I don't know what you're talking about.
**[06:11] Ren**
Are you maybe scared of ghosts?
**[06:13] Gentleman**
Of course not.
**[06:14] Gentleman**
As I said, ghosts are unscientific.
**[06:19] Gentleman**
I could never be afraid of them!
**[06:25] Gentleman**
But anyway...
**[06:28] Gentleman**
Tsubasa Takanashi!
**[06:32] Ren**
That's right.
**[06:33] Ren**
Have you seen her anywhere?
**[06:36] Gentleman**
No.
**[06:39] Ren**
Where did she go?
**[06:41] Gentleman**
Why are you so obsessed with her?
**[06:44] Ren**
"Obsessed"?
**[06:45] Gentleman**
I'm asking why you're so obnoxious
about following her everywhere.
**[06:51] Ren**
Am I being obnoxious?
**[06:54] Ren**
Oh, no... Do you think
she feels the same way?
**[06:58] Gentleman**
Why are you following her?
**[07:00] Ren**
Well, it's better to be friends, right?
**[07:03] Ren**
So—
**[07:03] Gentleman**
She's not the type who wants friends.
**[07:08] Gentleman**
Just like me!
**[07:11] Ren**
Huh? You say that,
but you hang out with us a lot.
**[07:16] Gentleman**
Well...
**[07:19] Ren**
They say that bunnies
get lonely easily, right?
**[07:30] Ren**
I wish Tsubasa would
hang out with us, too.
**[07:39] Ren**
We're all part of Seventh Flame.
We're a team.
**[07:49] Gentleman**
I don't like that way of thinking.
**[07:52] Gentleman**
We may be a part of the same school club,
but we're all individuals.
**[07:56] Gentleman**
Humans are lonely creatures, in the end.
**[08:00] Gentleman**
Even if I were to hypothetically—
*hypothetically*—appear to be lonely,
**[08:05] Gentleman**
in fact I am a solitary, aloof creature
who is just fine all by myself—
**[08:11] Gentleman**
Where did you go?
**[08:14] Gentleman**
I don't know how to handle her.
**[08:16] Ren**
Gentleman!
**[08:17] Ren**
Help me look for her!
**[08:23] Ren**
Okay?
**[08:37] Itsuki**
Is this where your partner is?
**[08:44] Itsuki**
* He's trembling.*
* What's he so scared of?*
**[08:48] Itsuki**
*I don't want to think of it, but...*
**[08:52] Itsuki**
Hey, are you...
**[08:57] Itsuki**
Slade?
**[09:14] Itsuki**
Um...
**[09:19] Itsuki**
Um, excuse me! Can you hear me?
**[09:26] Itsuki**
Uh...
**[09:45] Ryoga**
Noise.
**[09:50] Ryoga**
Your voice is just noise to me.

**[10:10] Ryoga**
So, what do you want?
**[10:15] Itsuki**
Is this your DigiFriend?
**[10:22] Ryoga**
He came back, huh?
**[10:28] Itsuki**
Why did you let him run free?
**[10:32] Itsuki**
He was all alone.
**[10:37] Itsuki**
Why?
**[10:38] Ryoga**
I don't need weak cards.
**[10:42] Ryoga**
They're just noise in my deck.
**[10:44] Itsuki**
You're the one who chose him
as your DigiFriend, right?
**[10:49] Ryoga**
I was fiddling with my smartphone,
and he just became my DigiFriend on his own.
**[10:53] Ryoga**
He's weak and annoying,
so I wanted to change him.
**[10:56] Ryoga**
And I couldn't, so I tried abandoning him.
**[11:01] Ryoga**
But you can't do that, either.
**[11:05] Ryoga**
So I told him to get lost.
**[11:16] Ryoga**
And then he disappeared.
**[11:20] Ryoga**
That's all.
**[11:22] Itsuki**
What... What are you saying?
**[11:24] Ryoga**
You didn't hear me?
**[11:26] Ryoga**
Let me sing you the refrain again.
**[11:28] Itsuki**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[11:30] Itsuki**
He's your DigiFriend!
**[11:32] Ryoga**
So what?
**[11:33] Itsuki**
How can you be so selfish?
**[11:35] Itsuki**
He was trembling!
**[11:38] Itsuki**
All alone in the middle
of a filthy street!
**[11:41] Ryoga**
Who cares? They're just data.
**[11:45] Ryoga**
Data that the Genesis Corporation
just started spreading several years ago.
***SIGN*** Punk Devil Demonia
**[11:50] Ryoga**
At some point they became a part
of our lives, but I don't like them.
**[11:55] Ryoga**
What the hell are they?
**[11:59] Ryoga**
Why do we need them
to play Shadowverse now?
**[12:02] Itsuki**
The Genesis Corporation explained that.
**[12:07] Itsuki**
They're digital friends
who connect the players with Shadowverse.
**[12:10] Ryoga**
"Friends"? That's not enough
of an explanation to satisfy me.
**[12:15] Ryoga**
We played Shadowverse
just fine without them.
**[12:19] Ryoga**
We don't need them. They're noise.
**[12:24] Ryoga**
I just want to crush my opponents
with an powerful deck.
**[12:28] Ryoga**
I don't want to pretend to be friends
with a bunch of zeroes and ones.
**[12:38] Ryoga**
If you want to make
friends with it, go ahead.
**[12:41] Ryoga**
It's not my problem. Get lost.
**[13:05] Ryoga**
Why would I have to battle you?
**[13:08] Ryoga**
I don't want anything from you.
**[13:09] Itsuki**
I want something from you.
**[13:13] Itsuki**
You're the Bloodcraft player who hangs out
at the riverbank, right?
**[13:18] Itsuki**
I'm Itsuki Mitsutagawa, a second-year player
at Shadowverse College!
**[13:22] Itsuki**
I came to play a Bloodcraft player.
**[13:26] Ryoga**
I'll sing you the refrain again.
**[13:28] Ryoga**
I don't want anything from you.
**[13:30] Itsuki**
But now that's not all!
**[13:33] Itsuki**
Abandoning him? Throwing him away?
**[13:36] Itsuki**
I can't let you
treat your DigiFriend like that!
**[13:40] Ryoga**
Trying to jump in on my rhythm...
**[13:45] Ryoga**
That's the problem with you
Shadowverse College people.
**[13:49] Ryoga**
Fine, I'll battle you.
And what if I win?
**[13:54] Itsuki**
I'll apologize.
**[13:55] Ryoga**
Huh? What?
**[13:57] Itsuki**
In exchange,
if I win, please apologize.
**[14:01] Ryoga**
To you?
**[14:02] Ryoga**
Why?
**[14:03] Itsuki**
No, not to me! To him!
**[14:12] Ryoga**
Ridiculous. Fine, come on.
**[14:15] Itsuki**
All right. I won't lose!
**[14:17] Both**
Battle! Shadowverse!
**[14:47] Ryoga**
I go first. Draw.
**[14:51] Ryoga**
I play Ambling Wraith.
**[14:55] Ryoga**
When Ambling Wraith enters play,
it does 1 damage to the enemy leader.
**[15:04] Ryoga**
And then it does 1 damage
to its own leader, as well.
**[15:12] Itsuki**
What is that?
**[15:13] Ryoga**
The rhythm of Bloodcraft is already playing.
**[15:18] Itsuki**
You're decreasing your own defense
to 10 or below to enter Vengeance.
**[15:25] Itsuki**
That's how Bloodcraft players play.
**[15:27] Ryoga**
I end my turn.
**[15:29] Itsuki**
Then it's my turn. Draw!
**[15:36] Itsuki**
I end my turn.
**[15:38] Ryoga**
I was expecting a Water Fairy
or an Elf Child May.
**[15:42] Ryoga**
You don't have one in your hand?
**[15:46] Ryoga**
Shadowverse is about rhythm.
**[15:47] Ryoga**
With bad rhythm, you can't win.
**[15:50] Ryoga**
I play Demon Conductor.
**[15:54] Itsuki**
That follower...
**[15:56] Ryoga**
Don't be in such a hurry.
We start at adagio. Slow tempo.
**[16:01] Ryoga**
Demon Conductor's effect activates
and grants its leader a new effect.
**[16:19] Ryoga**
And then, Ambling Wraith attacks your leader!
**[16:26] Ryoga**
I end my turn.
**[16:28] Itsuki**
My turn! Draw!
**[16:32] Itsuki**
I play Elf Child May!
**[16:35] Ryoga**
You just drew it, huh?
**[16:38] Itsuki**
May's effect activates and does 1 damage
to a randomly chosen enemy follower!
**[16:43] Itsuki**
And then I play
the spell card Flower Breeze,
**[16:47] Itsuki**
returning a follower to my hand
and restoring my defense by 1!
**[16:53] Ryoga**
Your rhythm sucks.
**[16:56] Itsuki**
This is how Forestcraft fights.
**[16:59] Itsuki**
I end my turn.
**[17:00] Ryoga**
Draw.
**[17:02] Ryoga**
Speeding it up a little. Andante.
**[17:06] Ryoga**
First, the effect
Demon Conductor gave me activates.
**[17:09] Ryoga**
At the start of my turn,
it does 1 damage to my leader.
**[17:16] Itsuki**
Another red ball...
**[17:18] Ryoga**
And if I have four or fewer cards
in hand, I draw a card.
**[17:22] Ryoga**
I play Blood Wolf.
**[17:28] Ryoga**
It does 2 damage to its leader,
but it has Storm.
**[17:40] Ryoga**
And then I play the spell card...
**[17:43] Ryoga**
Wicked Conducting.
**[17:49] Ryoga**
It does 2 damage to my leader.
**[17:54] Itsuki**
A f-fourth one?
**[17:57] Ryoga**
It removes two cards from my hand
to evolve one follower.
**[18:07] Itsuki**
It's your third turn,
and you already have an evolved follower?
**[18:09] Ryoga**
I told you I was speeding up the rhythm!
**[18:12] Ryoga**
I attack your leader with
Blood Wolf and Demon Conductor!
**[18:22] Ryoga**
This is my rhythm!
**[18:25] Ryoga**
You can't keep up, can you?
**[18:27] Ryoga**
You're just a spoiled little kid
from Shadowverse College.
**[18:29] Itsuki**
I'm not spoiled!
**[18:32] Ryoga**
Almost everyone there is.
**[18:36] Ryoga**
They all think Shadowverse is just a game.
**[18:39] Ryoga**
Well, one of them was better
than the rest.
**[18:42] Ryoga**
Haruma Hazeura, was that his name?
**[18:44] Itsuki**
Him? "Better"?
**[18:46] Itsuki**
What are you saying?
**[18:48] Ryoga**
What? Did you get crushed by him, too?
**[18:53] Ryoga**
Poor kid.
**[18:55] Ryoga**
Were you in one of those
"Shadowverse Clubs"?
**[19:03] Itsuki**
I'm the president of the
Seventh Flame Shadowverse Club!
**[19:07] Itsuki**
I play Salvia Panther!
**[19:12] Itsuki**
She has Rush!
**[19:16] Itsuki**
I attack Demon Conductor!
**[19:24] Itsuki**
And then I play Elf Child May!
**[19:29] Itsuki**
She does 1 damage
to a randomly chosen enemy follower!
**[19:32] Itsuki**
Okay, I end my turn...
**[19:38] Ryoga**
What, you're the president
of that weak-ass club, Seventh Flame?
**[19:44] Ryoga**
I heard you were destroyed
by Haruma Hazeura.
**[19:48] Ryoga**
You're still playing Shadowverse?
**[19:50] Itsuki**
I took over the club.
**[19:53] Itsuki**
I have new members, too.
**[19:56] Ryoga**
I see.
**[19:57] Ryoga**
And you're all having lots
of fun being friends?
**[20:00] Itsuki**
We're friends, yes, but we promised
to get stronger together!
**[20:05] Itsuki**
We're more than friends!
**[20:08] Ryoga**
Stupid.
**[20:09] Ryoga**
"Get stronger"? "Together"?
**[20:11] Ryoga**
Those words are disharmony.
**[20:14] Ryoga**
The rhythm of the weak is no more
than meaningless noise.
**[20:17] Ryoga**
And my world doesn't need noise.
**[20:19] Ryoga**
Get lost. The effect
Demon Conductor gave me activates.
**[20:23] Ryoga**
It does 1 damage to me,
**[20:27] Ryoga**
and draws me a card
if I have four or fewer cards in hand.
**[20:32] Ryoga**
And then...
**[20:33] Ryoga**
Trombone Devil!
**[20:40] Ryoga**
Its effect does 1 damage to my leader.
**[20:46] Itsuki**
But it's still your fourth turn,
and you went first. You can't evolve!
**[20:50] Itsuki**
So...
**[20:51] Ryoga**
No, that's your rhythm.
**[20:54] Ryoga**
My rhythm's fast.
**[20:56] Ryoga**
Trombone Devil's other effect activates.
**[21:01] Ryoga**
Each time its leader takes damage, it does 1 damage
to all enemy followers and your leader.
**[21:07] Ryoga**
I'll destroy your eardrums!
**[21:28] Itsuki**
H-He's strong...
**[21:30] Itsuki**
So this is the power of the Bloodcraft?
**[21:34] Itsuki**
Allegretto.
**[21:39] Itsuki**
My rhythm is the heartbeat of a devil.
**[21:47] Itsuki**
Once you hear it,
you're destined to eat dirt.

But it's your card.
**[23:34] Ryoga**
Shut up. You're just noise.
