Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [00:07] Itsuki     I'm just getting started. [00:11] Itsuki     Next turn is my fourth.     I can use Evolution. [00:14] Ryoga     Just as I thought.     Your rhythm is basic and boring. [00:18] Ryoga     Whatever. Play it for me anyway. [00:22] Itsuki     Right! SIGN    Episode 19 SIGN    I Have My Own Ace in the Hole! [00:27] Ryoga     "I Have My Own Ace in the Hole!" [00:30] Itsuki     My turn! Draw! [00:34] Itsuki     First, I play Daisy Bear! [00:38] Itsuki     Daisy Bear's effect adds a     Flower Breeze to my hand! [00:43] Ryoga     And then? [00:44] Itsuki     Next is this... [00:46] Itsuki     Ancient Elf! [00:50] Itsuki     Ancient Elf's effect activates! [00:54] Itsuki     It returns all followers     I have in play to my hand, [00:58] Itsuki     and for each one, her attack     and defense increase by 1. [01:03] Itsuki     I evolve Ancient Elf! [01:10] Itsuki     I attack Trombone Devil! [01:16] Itsuki     Okay! I end my turn! [01:19] Itsuki     Ancient Elf has Ward. Which means... [01:22] Ryoga     I can't damage your leader? [01:26] Ryoga     Maybe, sure. [01:28] Ryoga     But my deck ain't the     same verse over and over. [01:32] Ryoga     My rhythm's got waves. [01:35] Ryoga     And those waves are real Shadowverse! [01:38] Ryoga     At the start of my turn, the effect I gained     from Demon Conductor activates [01:43] Ryoga     and does 1 damage to my leader. [01:47] Ryoga     And if I have four or fewer cards     in hand, I draw a card. [02:06] Itsuki     Wh-What's happening? [02:08] Ryoga     You'll know soon. [02:10] Ryoga     This is your requiem. [02:13] Ryoga     I play Devil's Piper with Enhance 5! [02:16] Itsuki     "Enhance"? [02:17] Ryoga     Devil's Piper is a cost-2 follower. [02:22] Ryoga     But by paying its Enhance cost,     it gains a new effect. [02:28] Ryoga     First, we'll start with its basic effect. [02:30] Ryoga     I discard a card from my hand     to do 2 damage to the enemy leader. [02:39] Ryoga     Its new Enhance effect then increases its      attack and defense by 2 and gives it Drain! [02:46] Ryoga     I evolve Devil's Piper! [02:54] Ryoga     And attack! [02:59] Ryoga     And then its Drain effect activates. [03:03] Ryoga     When a follower with Drain does damage, [03:06] Ryoga     it restores its leader's     health the same amount. [03:11] Itsuki     He restored 6 defense with one attack?! [03:14] Ryoga     I end my turn. [03:16] Ryoga     My rhythm is already vivace. [03:19] Ryoga     Try to keep up, [03:21] Ryoga     spoiled little kid from Shadowverse College. [03:23] Itsuki     Please stop calling me that. [03:26] Itsuki     I'm not spoiled!     And my name is Itsuki Mitsutagawa! [03:31] Itsuki     My turn! Draw! [03:34] Itsuki     Rose Deer! [03:37] Itsuki     Its effect adds a Thorn Burst     to my hand! [03:42] Itsuki     And I evolve it, too! [03:46] Itsuki     I attack Devil's Piper! [03:51] Itsuki     And then Rose Deer's effect activates! [03:55] Itsuki     When it attacks and destroys an enemy follower     and isn't destroyed itself, [04:00] Itsuki     I regain 2 PP and randomly draw     two cost-1 cards from my deck! [04:08] Itsuki     I play Daisy Bear! [04:10] Itsuki     Its effect adds a Flower Breeze     to my hand! [04:14] Itsuki     And then I play the spell card Flower Breeze! [04:17] Itsuki     It returns a follower to my hand     and recovers 1 defense for my leader! [04:24] Ryoga     So you're trying to build up a counter, too? [04:28] Itsuki     Yes. [04:29] Itsuki     If I've played three or more     Flower Breezes in this battle, [04:34] Itsuki     Daisy Bear gains a new effect. [04:38] Ryoga     Cool. [04:40] Ryoga     But you can't win unless you up the tempo! [04:44] Ryoga     The effect I gained from Demon Conductor     does 1 damage to my leader. [04:51] Ryoga     And if I have four or fewer cards      in my hand, I draw a card. [04:55] Ryoga     And I play Demon Beater! [05:00] Itsuki     A follower with 1 attack and 2 defense? [05:03] Ryoga     Of course there's more to it than that. [05:30] Itsuki     This is... Vengeance? [05:33] Itsuki     But his defense is 16! [05:36] Itsuki     Vengeance requires 10 or less defense! [05:42] Ryoga     The true power of Bloodcraft     is more than just Vengeance. [05:47] Ryoga     Same as how you were building up     your Flower Breeze counter, [05:51] Ryoga     I was building up the number of times     I'd done damage to my leader during my turn! [05:58] Itsuki     So that's what that was... [06:05] Ryoga     If my leader has taken damage     during my turn seven or more times, [06:11] Ryoga     my leader gains Wrath! [06:16] Itsuki     "Wrath"? [06:19] Ryoga     The rhythm picks up. The sound pierces.      All the noise disappears. [06:24] Ryoga     Time to play your requiem! [06:26] Ryoga     Go Mad! Demon Beater! [06:30] Ryoga     Demon Beater's effect activates! [06:40] Ryoga     It creates two more Demon Beaters, [06:43] Ryoga     but if I'm in Wrath, it creates four! [06:55] Ryoga     I'm not done yet! [06:56] Ryoga     Spell Card: Wicked Conducting! [07:03] Ryoga     It does 2 damage to my leader... [07:07] Ryoga     I discard two cards... [07:09] Ryoga     and evolve a follower. [07:12] Ryoga     But if I'm in Wrath,     it evolves them all! [07:38] Itsuki     N-No... [07:39] Itsuki     Five evolved followers in one turn? [07:43] Itsuki     And they all have Ward! [07:47] Ryoga     What's wrong?     Can't keep up with my rhythm? [07:52] Ryoga     My evolved Demon Beater attacks Rose Deer! [07:57] Itsuki     Hit back, Rose Deer! [08:06] Itsuki     But Rose Deer had 5 attack! [08:10] Itsuki     It should've taken the Demon Beater     down with it, since it had 4 defense! [08:14] Ryoga     It's the effect     of the evolved Demon Beater. [08:17] Ryoga     When it evolves, if it would take     more than 4 damage, it takes 3 damage instead! [08:26] Ryoga     The rhythm's picked up to presto. [08:29] Ryoga     You'll be left behind! [08:31] Itsuki     I didn't understand how Bloodcraft worked.     This was my mistake! [08:36] Itsuki     He's got the advantage, both on the field     and with his leader's defense! [08:41] Itsuki     But... [08:43] Itsuki     I'm not finished yet. [08:45] Ryoga     You're still going to try to keep up? [08:47] Itsuki     The battle's not over! [08:49] Ryoga     Does your deck have the power     to stop my incredible sound? [08:58] Itsuki     Of course. [09:00] Itsuki     I still have my partner,     and my ace in the hole! SIGN    Ryoga Jasei & Punk Devil Demonia SIGN    Class: Bloodcraft     Birthday: 9/18     Likes: Symphonic Metal SIGN    Ancient Elf [09:16] Itsuki     Here I go! Blossom Wolf Slade! [09:28] Ryoga     Your precious piece of data, huh? [09:31] Itsuki     He's not data! He's my partner! [09:34] Itsuki     Slade's effect activates! [09:36] Itsuki     He lowers the cost of a 5+ cost follower     in my hand by 2 [09:41] Itsuki     and gives it a new effect! [09:43] Itsuki     And then I evolve it! [09:50] Ryoga     Evolving that wimp won't— [09:53] Itsuki     You're wrong!     Look at your side of the field! [09:57] Itsuki     Slade's on-evolve effect says [10:00] Itsuki     that if three or more cards     have been returned to a hand during play, [10:05] Itsuki     all enemy followers have their attack     and defense lowered to 1! [10:09] Ryoga     What? [10:11] Itsuki     I'm not done! [10:12] Itsuki     I'll show you my ace in the hole! [10:15] Itsuki     Pure white fangs, dance! [10:18] Itsuki     It's all up to you now, Cosmos Fang! [10:27] Ryoga     That's the card     whose cost you just lowered! [10:30] Itsuki     Yes. Slade's effect lowered her cost by 2. [10:35] Itsuki     And the effect Slade gave her activates. [10:39] Itsuki     She gains Ambush until the end     of your next turn! [10:42] Itsuki     Now my turn ends! [10:44] Itsuki     But Cosmos Fang's effect activates, [10:48] Itsuki     returning a randomly selected follower     from play to my hand at the end of turn, [10:52] Itsuki     and restoring my leader's defense     by an amount equal to its cost! [10:59] Itsuki     I still have fewer followers, but... [11:02] Ryoga     You've locked down my side,     so I can't summon more followers? [11:08] Itsuki     Yes. You can play only five followers     at any one time. [11:13] Itsuki     So you can't play any more! [11:16] Itsuki     Cosmos Fang has a powerful on-evolve     and on-attack effect! [11:22] Itsuki     And you've used all your cards! [11:25] Itsuki     The game's as good as over! [11:35] Itsuki     You don't seem upset. [11:37] Ryoga     No, I'm happy for you. [11:41] Ryoga     Your music's not that bad,     for a spoiled little kid. [11:47] Ryoga     I'll take one thing back. [11:49] Ryoga     That card of yours isn't a wimp.     It's powerful, useful data. [11:54] Itsuki     Don't call it that. [11:56] Ryoga     But my deck is stronger! [12:00] Ryoga     My turn! [12:03] Ryoga     The effect given to my leader activates,      does 1 damage to my leader, [12:08] Ryoga     and draws me a card     if I have four or fewer in hand! [12:12] Ryoga     When I have just one card,     I draw two, not one! [12:22] Ryoga     And so, together with my draw     at the start of the turn, I get three cards. [12:29] Ryoga     Now I'll attack with my Demon Beater,     just the way you wanted! [12:33] Itsuki     Cosmos Fang has Ambush!     You can't attack her! [12:37] Ryoga     I know that! [12:46] Itsuki     That's not enough to... [12:48] Ryoga     Shut up till I'm done. [12:51] Ryoga     My rhythm plays on and     carves itself into your eardrums! [12:55] Ryoga     Spell Card: Demon Storm! [13:05] Ryoga     It does 3 damage     to all followers and leaders. [13:11] Ryoga     Now I'll erase you all! [13:23] Ryoga     And then the Demon Beaters'      Last Words activate! [13:27] Ryoga     My leader regains 1 defense.     This happens five times! [13:34] Itsuki     You destroyed your own followers? [13:36] Ryoga     That's how Bloodcraft plays. [13:39] Ryoga     Remember that. [13:43] Ryoga     Ready for the finale, spoiled little kid? [13:49] Ryoga     You're going to keep playing? Good. [13:53] Ryoga     Then let me hear the rhythm     of your struggle! [13:57] Ryoga     1}I end my turn! [13:59] Itsuki     My turn. Draw! [14:05] Itsuki     I'd hoped I could*     evolve Cosmos Fang this turn [14:10] Itsuki     and return all his followers     to his hand before attacking with her. [14:15] Itsuki     With her on-attack effect,     she could've won. [14:19] Itsuki     I thought I could end the game. [14:22] Itsuki     I didn't even think     what he did was possible. [14:26] Itsuki     No. [14:27] Itsuki     There's no point in dwelling on it. [14:34] Itsuki     The battle's not over! [14:38] Itsuki     I'll do everything I can,     the best I can! [14:41] Itsuki     First, Daisy Bear! [14:48] Itsuki     It adds a Flower Breeze to my hand,     which I use on Daisy Bear! [14:55] Itsuki     Daisy Bear comes back to my hand,     and I gain 1 defense! [14:59] Itsuki     And one more time... Daisy Bear! [15:05] Itsuki     And then Daisy Bear's     second effect activates. [15:09] Itsuki     If I've played three or more      Flower Breezes in this battle, [15:13] Itsuki     my Evolve points are set to 1! [15:17] Itsuki     And then... Flower Breeze! [15:19] Itsuki     I return Daisy Bear to my hand     and regain 1 defense. [15:24] Itsuki     And then... [15:26] Ryoga     Another Daisy Bear? [15:29] Ryoga     What an obnoxious way to play. [15:32] Itsuki     This is how my deck works. [15:40] Itsuki     Now it begins for real! [15:42] Itsuki     Spell Card: Thorn Burst! [15:47] Itsuki     It does 3 damage to the enemy leader! [15:51] Ryoga     So what? [15:53] Itsuki     So I'm going to fight you     as best I can! [16:00] Itsuki     Evolve! Beautiful, sharp fangs...     Cosmos Fang! [16:12] Itsuki     Cosmos Fang's evolve effect activates [16:15] Itsuki     and returns all followers     with 3 or less defense to hand. [16:18] Itsuki     Cosmos Fang attacks your leader! [16:21] Itsuki     Her attack effect activates! [16:25] Itsuki     For each card returned to hand this turn,     she gains 1 attack! [16:30] Itsuki     Three cards were returned     to hand this turn, [16:33] Itsuki     so that gives her 3 additional attack! [16:35] Itsuki     Bloom with pride, Cosmos Fang! [16:55] Itsuki     I end my turn! [16:59] Ryoga     Yeah, if I hadn't destroyed my Demon Beaters,     it would've been over. [17:06] Itsuki     Cosmos Fang is my ace in the hole. [17:10] Itsuki     Shadowverse is about more     than just battling. [17:13] Itsuki     Connecting with your cards, with people, [17:15] Itsuki     with something...     That's what makes Shadowverse what it is! [17:17] Itsuki     We can connect to our DigiFriends, too!     We can make them our partners! [17:22] Itsuki     And since you deny that connection,     I don't want to lose to you! [17:27] Ryoga     Yeah... [17:29] Ryoga     I don't have a partner like you. [17:33] Ryoga     I don't need one. [17:36] Ryoga     But... [17:38] Ryoga     But! [17:41] Ryoga     I have an ace in the hole, too! [17:44] Ryoga     Draw! [17:47] Ryoga     The effect given to my leader     gives me another card! [17:55] Ryoga     Listen to me! Clean out your ears     so you can hear me clearly! [17:59] Ryoga     Fortissimo! [18:00] Ryoga     This is my ace in the hole! [18:03] Ryoga     The melody of a demon fills the land! [18:09] Ryoga     Rock 'em hard, Howling Demon! [18:19] Itsuki     So this is your... [18:21] Ryoga     Howling Demon's effect activates     and does 3 damage to all enemy followers! [18:29] Itsuki     But Cosmos Fang stays standing! [18:33] Ryoga     I don't care! [18:36] Ryoga     Howling Demon's effect activates! [18:55] Ryoga     When his leader is in Wrath,     he evolves! [19:06] Itsuki     He's taking Cosmos Fang down with him? [19:08] Ryoga     No, look carefully! [19:11] Itsuki     Storm? And with 8 attack? [19:15] Ryoga     Howling Demon can't use EP to evolve. [19:19] Ryoga     But when he does, he's brutal! [19:24] Ryoga     I had more fun than I thought I would,     spoiled little kid. [19:30] Ryoga     But you're just noise! [19:33] Ryoga     You can't beat my melody! [19:42] Ryoga     Howling Demon attacks your leader! [20:10] Ryoga     I win. [20:12] Ryoga     I'm the one who's right.     Nobody else.
