[00:08] Gi
    Shiro Kiriyama and Alice Kurobane
    have achieved Gold Rank.
[00:14] Gi
    Many of the players in Gold Rank
[00:16] Gi
    have a solid chance of making it to Legend.
[00:22] Gu
    How is the progression overall?
[00:24] Gi
    Not good.
[00:33] Gu
    I need to find somebody to battle.
[00:40] Gu
    No one's around.
[00:45] Gi
    You're attached.
[00:47] Gu
    He's a little bundle of possibilities.
[00:49] Gi
    Because he's your friend's son?
[00:53] Gu
    Perhaps.
[00:56] Gu
    Let's send out the Shadow Knights.
[01:00] Gi
    Isn't it too soon?
[01:02] Gu
    The hour of awakening is nigh.
[01:05] Gu
    We need to hurry.
[01:07] Gi
    Understood.
[01:10] Gi
    Issuing a new operation. Are you sure?
[01:15] Gu
    Issuing operation Shadow Knights.
[01:18] Gu
    The Shadow Grand Prix is
    just getting started.
[01:23] Gu
    Good luck, everyone.

    Bearers of Shadow
[02:58] Gu
    Damn it!
[03:01] Gu
    I just need one more point to get to Gold.
[03:04] Gu
    The Shadow Grand Prix is getting exciting!
[03:08] Gu
    Currently, 51 players have survived
    fierce battles to get to Gold.
[03:14] Gu
    The road to Legend is still a long one!
[03:18] Gu
    I'm running out of time.
[03:20] Gu
    If I want to catch up to Luca,
    I need to fight more battles!
[03:28] ---
    Wh-What?
[03:30] Gu
    Look, that's Shiro Kiriyama
    and Seiya Kibakura!
[03:35] Gu
    The two of them have made it to Gold
    after a series of dazzling and amazing battles,
[03:41] Gu
    and a new battle is about to begin!
[03:44] Gu
    I can't afford to lose now.
[03:47] Gu
    It's the same for me.
[03:50] Gu
    Battle! Shadowve—
[03:58] Gu
    Who are you?
[04:01] Gu
    You want to battle?
[04:03] Gu
    Wh-What's going on here?
[04:06] Gu
    A mysterious player interrupted the battle.
[04:09] Gu
    H-Hey! Why am I going over there!
[04:13] Gu
    Go back! The battle is just starting!
[04:15] Gu
    Why? Why?
[04:20] Gu
    What's going on?
[04:42] Gu
    What are you doing?!
[04:46] Gu
    Seiya!
[04:47] Gu
    Hiro...
[04:53] Gu
    Wh-What are you doing?
[04:56] Gi
    Operation Shadow Knights has been issued.
[05:00] Gu
    "Shadow Knights"?
[05:01] Gu
    Anyone who loses a battle
    will be immediately eliminated.
[05:06] Gu
    You are not Gold Rank yet.
[05:09] Gu
    Thus, I will not eliminate you.
[05:12] Gi
    "Gold Rank"?
[05:13] Gi
    "Eliminate"?
[05:14] Gi
    You're going after the Gold Rankers?
[05:19] Gi
    Was that you?
[05:25] Gi
    Wait!
[05:27] Gi
    Are you going to continue to do
    what you did here?
[05:29] Gi
    That's terrible!
[05:30] Gu
    Operation Shadow Knights is an effective way
     to determine losers.
[05:36] Gu
    It will be repeated
    until it is no longer necessary.
[05:38] Gu
    I won't let you!
[05:40] Gu
    Battle me!
    And if I win, never do this again!
[05:44] Gu
    You are not Gold Rank.
[05:46] Gu
    Does that mean you desire elimination?
[05:49] Gu
    I don't care!
[05:51] Gu
    Just battle me! And then stop!
[05:54] Gu
    Understood.
[05:57] Gu
    I lack the right to refuse a battle.
[06:00] Gu
    Thus, if you desire it,
    I will eliminate you.
[06:04] Gu
    Just try it!
[06:15] Gu
    Battle! Shadowverse!
[06:32] Gu
    My turn! Draw!
[06:35] Gu
    I'll start with this!
[06:36] Gu
    Ivory Dragon!
[06:38] Gu
    Now I end my turn.
[06:41] Gu
    Draw. I play a Goblin.
[06:45] Gu
    I end my turn.
[06:46] Gu
    Then it's my turn.
[06:49] Gu
    I play Dragonrider!
[06:52] Gu
    I attack your leader with Ivory Dragon.
[06:56] Gu
    I end my turn.
[06:57] Gu
    My turn, then. I play a Fighter.
[07:02] Gu
    I attack your leader with my Goblin.
[07:07] Gu
    I end my turn.
[07:09] Gu
    My turn, then.
[07:12] Gu
    Dragon Oracle!
[07:13] Gu
    It increases my play points by 1!
[07:17] Gu
    And then I attack!
[07:19] Gu
    I attack your Goblin with Dragonrider
    and your leader with Ivory Dragon.
[07:25] Gu
    I end my turn!
[07:26] Gu
    Draw.
[07:28] Gu
    I play Bone Chimera.
[07:31] Gu
    That follower...
[07:33] Gu
    It creates two Skeletons
    with its Last Words.
[07:37] Gu
    That follower's strong, isn't it?
[07:40] Gu
    Why does seeing me play
    a strong follower make you smile?
[07:44] Gu
    'Cause it's exciting!
[07:47] Gu
    I can't wait to see
    what kind of battle it'll be.
[07:49] Gu
    I don't understand.
[07:51] Gu
    I attack your Ivory Dragon with my Fighter.
[07:57] Gu
    You don't get excited?
[07:59] Gu
    It is not necessary.
[08:01] Gu
    I end my turn.
[08:03] Gu
    You're kind of like Luca.
[08:07] Gu
    But he had his reasons.
[08:11] Gu
    I think he does.
[08:12] Gu
    Not that I understand.
[08:14] Gu
    Why did you do that?
[08:16] Gu
    You have your own reasons, right?
[08:18] Gu
    I have no personal reasons.
[08:21] Gu
    I just follow the orders I am given.
[08:24] Gu
    Orders? Who gave them?
[08:26] Gu
    Your turn has started.
[08:29] Gu
    Do you have things to do besides talk?
[08:32] Gu
    Right! Draw!
[08:35] Gu
    I play Glint Dragon!
[08:38] Gu
    Glint Dragon's effect activates,
    dealing 1 damage to an enemy follower!
[08:45] Gu
    I attack your leader with my Dragonrider!
[08:50] Gu
    Tell me. Is it fun to do terrible things
    and battle because you're told to?
[08:56] Gi
    I do not need to enjoy it.
[08:59] Gi
    All our battles are an offering to this world.
[09:04] Gi
    Amulet Card: Shadow Aura!
[09:11] Gi
    Wh-What?
[09:12] Gi
    As long as this Amulet is in play,
[09:15] Gi
    all followers without an effect gain Storm.
[09:19] Gi
    What?
[09:19] Gi
    I attack the Dragonrider
    with my Bone Chimera.
[09:26] Gi
    Bone Chimera's Last Words activate,
    creating two Skeletons.
[09:31] Gi
    Skeletons have no effect,
    which means Shadow Aura's effect activates,
[09:37] Gi
    and they gain Storm.
[09:39] Gi
    I attack your Glint Dragon
    with both Skeletons!
[09:48] Gi
    It is up to you if you will go forward.
[09:52] Gi
    I don't get it.
[09:54] Gi
    Why are you smiling?
[09:55] Gi
    I don't get it, but it's fun!
[09:58] Gi
    Fighting strong opponents is really fun!
[10:03] Gi
    Let's keep up our battle!
[10:09] Gi
    How very interesting.
[10:14] Gi
    Nobody's here.
[10:16] Gi
    What's wrong?
[10:32] Gi
    That looks fun.
[10:35] Gi
    Hey, get off me!
[10:37] Gi
    It's no good. I can't get rid of him.
[10:40] Gi
    Kazuki, the love of boars lost.
[10:43] Gi
    But why?
[10:44] Gi
    You don't need to analyze it.
[10:54] Gi
    Th-That's...
[10:57] Gi
    What?
[11:15] Gi
    I have to win.
[11:18] Gi
    So I'll show no mercy,
    no matter who my opponent is.
[11:31] Gi
    Mauro, there's no problem.
[11:34] Gi
    Just do your job.
[11:40] Gi
    The gears of fate have started to turn,
[11:43] Gi
    with an inevitability approaching chance.
SIGN    Bone Chimera
SIGN    Wyvern Cavalier
[12:06] Gi
    I play Gravewaker. And evolve it.
[12:16] Gi
    I attack your Hydra!
[12:20] Gi
    Gravewaker's Last Words!
[12:24] Gi
    I create one Zombie.
[12:28] Gi
    Zombies have no effects.
[12:31] Gi
    Shadow Aura's effect activates,
    and the Zombie gains Storm.
[12:35] Gi
    The Zombie and Spartoi Sergeant
    attack your Sandstorm Dragon!
[12:41] Gi
    I end my turn.
[12:44] Gi
    That combo's awesome.
[12:47] Gi
    I'd better keep up!
[12:49] Gi
    Draw!
[12:50] Gi
    Let the wind rage!
[12:52] Gi
    Dragon Wings!
[12:59] Gi
    That's 1 damage to all followers!
[13:04] Gi
    And then...
SIGN    Wyvern Cavalier
SIGN    Dragonguard
[13:05] Gi
    Go! Wyvern Cavalier!
[13:08] Gi
    Her effect activates!
[13:10] Gi
    It lowers the cost of a card
    in my hand by 2!
SIGN    Inferno Dragon
[13:14] Gi
    I end my turn.
[13:16] Gi
    My turn.
[13:17] Gi
    I play Hell's Unleasher!
[13:21] Gi
    A follower with just 1 attack and defense!
[13:24] Gi
    Spell Card: Impious Resurrection!
[13:27] Gi
    I destroy 1 follower I control
    and create a Lich!
[13:37] Gi
    She destroyed her own follower
    to create a strong follower?
[13:41] Gi
    That is not all.
[13:43] Gi
    Hell's Unleasher's Last Words activate,
    creating a Lich.
[13:48] Gi
    A combo with Last Words?
[13:51] Gi
    And then Shadow Aura's effect activates.
[13:54] Gi
    Liches have no effect, so they gain Storm.
[13:58] Gi
    I evolve a Lich and attack the Wyvern Cavalier!
[14:11] Gi
    And attack your leader with the other Lich!
[14:17] Gi
    I end my turn.
[14:20] Gi
    Wow!
[14:22] Gi
    You're really strong!
[14:23] Gi
    Are you done?
[14:26] Gi
    Nope!
[14:27] Gi
    The battle's not over yet!
[14:38] Gi
    Howl, Ignis Dragon!
[14:41] Gi
    When I have two or fewer cards in my hand,
    Ignis Dragon evolves!
[14:52] Gi
    Go!
[14:54] Gi
    Attack the Lich!
[15:08] Gi
    Yes!
[15:09] Gi
    I end my turn.
[15:11] Gi
    I see. Impressive.
[15:13] Gi
    Right? I finally got to play it.
[15:17] Gi
    But that is still not enough.
[15:19] Gi
    Draw! I play Skeleton Knight.
[15:22] Gi
    The Shadow Aura combo
    is just one part of this deck!
[15:27] Gi
    The true terror of this deck
    lies in this follower!
[15:32] Gi
    Devourer of life! Deathly Tyrant!
[15:36] Gi
    Just 3 attack and defense!
[15:39] Gi
    It seems to have Storm, but...
[15:41] Gi
    Fool.
[15:42] Gi
    Deathly Tyrant's Necromancy
    effect activates!
[15:47] Gi
    Necromancy: 20!
    It gains 10 attack and defense!
[16:03] Gi
    A-An attack and defense of 13?
[16:06] Gi
    I get it.
    That's why she stocked her graveyard.
[16:09] Gi
    I attack your Ignis Dragon
    with my Deathly Tyrant!
[16:18] Gi
    Ignis Dragon!
[16:24] Gi
    Hiro Ryugasaki.
[16:26] Gi
    You lack the ability to see the future.
[16:29] Gi
    You will not reach me as you are now.
[16:33] Gi
    Draw!
[16:35] Gi
    It's no good. I can't turn it around now!
[16:38] Gi
    But I still...
[16:41] Gi
    have him!
SIGN    Inferno Dragon
[16:42] Gi
    So... I won't give up!
[16:45] Gi
    Imprisoned Dragon!
[16:46] Gi
    Dragonguard! Protect me!
[16:49] Gi
    Dragonguard's Overflow effect activates,
    and it gains Ward!
[16:55] Gi
    I end my turn.
[16:56] Gi
    Is that all, Hiro Ryugasaki?
[17:00] Gi
    We don't know that yet!
[17:02] Gi
    You still smile?
[17:03] Gi
    Let's see for how long!
[17:06] Gi
    I attack your Imprisoned Dragon
    with my Skeleton Knight!
[17:13] Gi
    Skeleton Knight's Last Words activate,
    creating a Skeleton!
[17:19] Gi
    And I play Soul Conversion!
[17:22] Gi
    I destroy one of my followers
    to draw two cards!
[17:25] Gi
    And then I play Imperial Mammoth!
[17:30] Gi
    A follower without an effect...
[17:33] Gi
    Correct!
[17:34] Gi
    Shadow Aura's effect grants Storm
    to Imperial Mammoth!
[17:42] Gi
    I attack your Dragonguard
    with my Imperial Mammoth!
[17:48] Gi
    My Ward!
[17:49] Gi
    You no longer have any followers with Ward!
[17:52] Gi
    Deathly Tyrant! Attack the leader!
[17:56] Gi
    Rip him apart!
[18:09] Gi
    There's no way to turn this around.
[18:11] Gi
    You're finished.
[18:15] Gi
    Not yet!
[18:19] Gi
    You don't know who'll win a game
    of Shadowverse till it's over.
[18:25] Gi
    You know that, right?
[18:28] Gi
    Why don't you give up?
[18:33] Gi
    Because it'd be a waste!
[18:37] Gi
    When I fight a battle
    that comes down to the last turn,
[18:40] Gi
    it's so exciting!
[18:41] Gi
    It reminds me that Shadowverse is so fun.
[18:45] Gi
    So I can't stop before it's over.
[18:48] Gi
    And I have to win,
    or you'll keep doing awful things, right?
[18:54] Gi
    So I can't stop!
[18:56] Gi
    I admire your determination.
[18:59] Gi
    Now follow it up with results!
[19:01] Gi
    Here I go! This is my last draw!
SIGN    Draconification
[19:08] Gi
    Go, Inferno Dragon!
[19:11] Gi
    Is that the follower whose cost you lowered
    with Wyvern Cavalier?
[19:15] Gi
    And...
[19:16] Gi
    Inferno Dragon doesn't have any effects.
[19:20] Gi
    I'm borrowing your card!
[19:22] Gi
    Shadow Aura's effect gives it Storm!
[19:27] Gi
    Inferno Dragon, attack the leader!
[19:37] Gi
    But that's not enough to change anything!
[19:41] Gi
    This is what I was really after!
[19:44] Gu
    Spell Card: Draconification!
[19:49] Gu
    I can change one follower
    on my side into a Dragon!
[20:04] Gu
    And since that Dragon has no effect,
    it gets Storm from Shadow Aura!
[20:11] Gu
    Evolve, Dragon!
[20:24] Gu
    You used Wyvern Cavalier to lower the cost
    of Inferno Dragon, so you could do this combo?
[20:29] Gu
    Go, Dragon!
[20:30] Gu
    Attack the enemy leader!
[20:33] Gu
    Go!
[20:55] Gu
    Well? I won!
[21:01] Gu
    Gold Rank?
[21:02] Gu
    Because I won this battle?
[21:04] Gu
    I can't believe you're this strong!
[21:11] Gu
    You're that woman!
[21:15] Gu
    Why?
[21:17] Gu
    Operation Shadow Knights isn't mine alone.
[21:28] Gu
    Hello there, Hiro Ryugasaki.
[21:36] Gu
    Are you...
[21:37] Gu
    I don't like you.
[21:41] Gu
    He seems to have
    a high opinion of you, though.
[21:44] Gu
    Mauro, you're one of the Shadow Knights, too?
[21:50] Gu
    I couldn't say.
[23:24] Gu
    Shadowverse Card Showcase!
[23:26] Gu
    Today's card is Shadow Aura!
SIGN    Shadow Aura
[23:29] Gu
    A powerful Amulet Card that grants Storm
    to followers without effects.
[23:33] Gu
    It's so cool!
[23:36] Gu
    You're so easygoing, aren't you?
SIGN    Next Time
[23:40] Gu
    I have to fight the Shadow Knights now?
[23:42] Gu
