    You're one of the Shadow Knights, too?
SIGN    Episode 20
    A Smile That's Black
[01:37] Gu
    I couldn't say.
[01:44] Gu
    I'm definitely your enemy, though.
[01:50] Gu
    Let's bet our points.
[01:54] Gu
    I know. I'll bet 16 points.
[01:59] Gu
    I only just now got to Gold.
    I have only 3 points!
[02:03] Gu
    That's fine.
[02:04] Gu
    Just bet the small number
    of points you have.
[02:07] Gu
    If you lose here, you're disqualified.
[02:10] Gu
    And you'll leave the island.
[02:12] Gu
    I'm willing to bet 16 to 3,
[02:15] Gu
    as long as it means
    I get to see you mad when you lose.
[02:20] Gu
    Okay, fine. But if I win,
     tell me something.
[02:25] Gu
    What's going on here?
[02:27] Gu
    And how you know about my dad!
[02:32] Gu
    Oh, Eiji Ryugasaki?
[02:37] Gu
    I'm not a narrator,
    but I can tell you a little.
[02:43] Gu
    If you beat me, that is.
[02:47] Gu
    Battle, Shadowverse!
[03:01] Gu
    You're still there?
[03:07] Gu
    Kai, who are these people?
[03:10] Gu
    They're super strong, y'know!
[03:12] Gu
    Yes. I don't know who they are.
[03:15] Gu
    But I do know one thing.
[03:19] Gu
    If we win this battle, we can get to Gold!
[03:22] Gu
    Right. So we gotta win, y'know!
[03:26] Gu
    Come forth, Chrono Witch!
[03:28] Gu
    Go for it, Victorious Blader!
[03:38] Gi
    What are you doing?
[03:42] Gi
    I see. You're a bad person,
    doing bad things.
[03:47] Gi
    Then I need to beat you up.
[03:50] Gi
    'Cause I'm a hero idol!
[04:03] Gi
    Did I imagine it?
[04:11] Gi
    You want to battle?
[04:16] Gu
    I don't know who you are, but...
[04:19] Gu
    I won't lose!
[04:24] Gu
    I play Amulet Card: Beastly Vow.
[04:28] Gu
    And Amulet Card: Godsteel Wings.
[04:33] Gu
    More Countdown Amulets?
[04:35] Gu
    I end my turn.
[04:37] Gu
    My turn!
[04:40] Gu
    Roc! Mushussu!
[04:42] Gu
    And... I evolve Bejeweled Dragon!
[04:46] Gu
    So you intend to use evolution to increase
    its attack and knock down my defense quickly.
[04:51] Gu
    And Mushussu's attack goes up
    whenever another follower evolves.
[04:57] Gu
    I see. Not a bad strategy.
[05:00] Gu
    Yup! I'm ending this quickly!
[05:03] Gu
    I attack your leader with Bejeweled Dragon
     and Ironscale Dragonfolk!
[05:10] Gu
    I end my turn.
[05:11] Gu
    My turn, then.
[05:13] Gu
    First, every Amulet's Countdown
    is reduced by 1.
[05:18] Gu
    Divine Birdsong's Countdown
    has reached 0,
[05:22] Gu
    creating a Regal Falcon!
[05:26] Gu
    Now, I draw. And play Sledgehammer Exorcist!
[05:30] Gu
    And evolve it!
[05:34] Gu
    Its attack and defense didn't change,
    even after you evolved it?
[05:38] Gu
    That's right.
[05:38] Gu
    But something more terrifying will happen!
[05:41] Gu
    Sledgehammer Exorcist's
    on-evolve effect activates,
[05:45] Gu
    destroying one enemy follower!
[05:49] Gu
    And then the Amulet Card
    Godsteel Wing's effect activates.
[05:54] Gu
    Whenever one of my followers evolves,
    its Countdown is reduced by 1!
[06:00] Gu
    Mushussu's effect activates, too!
[06:02] Gu
    Its attack goes up by 2
    whenever another follower evolves!
[06:06] Gu
    It doesn't matter.
[06:09] Gu
    I attack it with Sledgehammer Exorcist!
[06:14] Gu
    And Regal Falcon gets Storm!
[06:18] Gu
    It attacks the Roc!
[06:22] Gu
    It's not over yet, either.
[06:26] Gu
    I play Pinion Prayer.
[06:31] Gu
    And end my turn.
[06:38] Gu
    My turn!
[06:40] Gu
    I play Twin-Headed Dragon
    and Dragonrider!
[06:46] Gu
    Evolve!
[06:47] Gu
    Twin-Headed Dragon!
[06:55] Gu
    My evolved Twin-Headed Dragon
    attacks Regal Falcon!
[07:00] Gu
    And Ironscale Dragonfolk attacks your leader!
[07:06] Gu
    I end my turn!
[07:09] Gu
    I see.
[07:10] Gu
    It's time to begin, then.
[07:14] Gu
    When my turn begins,
    all Amulet Countdowns are reduced by 1.
[07:18] Gu
    Holy Sentinel and Beastly Vow
    have both reached 0,
[07:25] Gu
    creating a Guardian Fox and a Holyflame Tiger.
[07:30] Gu
    Two at once?
[07:31] Gu
    There's more.
[07:34] Gu
    Come forth, Winged Sentinel Garuda!
[07:42] Gu
    Garuda's first effect activates,
[07:44] Gu
    advancing all Countdowns on my side by 3!
[07:49] Gu
    Pinion Prayer's Countdown reaches 0,
    creating a Holy Falcon.
[07:56] Gu
    And then Garuda's second effect activates,
[08:00] Gu
    dealing 3 damage to the enemy leader!
[08:05] Gu
    I evolve Guardian Fox,
[08:09] Gu
    and the effect for Godsteel Wings activates.
[08:13] Gu
    My follower evolved,
    so its Countdown goes down by 1.
[08:18] Gu
    He created...
[08:20] Gu
    five followers at once!
[08:23] Gu
    You can still endure this, right?
[08:26] Gu
    I attack your Twin-Headed Dragon
    with my evolved Guardian Fox.
[08:32] Gu
    And then attack your Dragonrider
    with my Holy Falcon!
[08:36] Gu
    And my Adamantium Bird attacks
    your Ironscale Dragonfolk!
[08:40] Gu
    You're in bad shape, huh?
[08:42] Gu
    But I know you'll overcome it, won't you?
[08:46] Gu
    I hope you do.
[08:50] Gu
    Because the real despair is yet to come.
[08:53] Gu
    Yeah, I'll do it!
SIGN    Conflagration
[09:06] Gu
    Here I go!
[09:07] Gu
    I knew it. This level of despair
     isn't enough for you.
[09:11] Gu
    The flames roar! Conflagration!
[09:15] Gu
    4 damage to all followers!
[09:23] Gu
    Wow, way to turn it around.
[09:28] Gu
    How about that? I end my turn.
[09:31] Gu
    A wonderful move.
    But I'm sure you'll regret it.
[09:37] Gu
    "I should've let it end there."
[09:39] Gu
    "I should've lost then."
[09:42] Gu
    Real despair awaits you now!
[09:47] Gu
    And here it is!
[09:49] Gu
    God of Curses!
[09:52] Gu
    Do you understand?
    You can't run away now!
[10:00] Gu
    I never planned to run.
[10:03] Gu
    I'm just going forward!
[10:08] Gu
    Howl, Ignis Dragon!
[10:11] Gu
    When I have 2 or fewer cards in my hand,
    Ignis Dragon evolves!
[10:16] Gu
    With my Ignis Dragon, I attack...
[10:20] (Flashback) Gu
    Be reborn, God of Curses!
[10:25] Gu
    No, I end my turn.
[10:28] Gu
    You were concerned about
    God of Curses's Last Words, huh?
[10:33] Gu
    Yeah. If I destroy it, I'm in trouble.
[10:36] Gu
    That's right.
[10:38] Gu
    But I told you...
SIGN    Veil of Darkness
[10:45] Gu
    You can't escape!
[10:54] [SONG] Gu
    Winged Sentinel Garuda
SIGN    Radiance Angel
[11:03] Gi
    Okay, my turn!
[11:05] Gi
    I play Necroelementist!
[11:11] Gi
    Cute, isn't she?
[11:15] Gi
    You're no fun.
[11:18] Gi
    Okay, maybe I need
    to make it more exciting!
[11:21] Gi
    Evolve, Goblin Mage!
[11:26] Gi
    I attack your leader with Goblin Mage!
[11:31] Gi
    And then...
[11:32] Gi
    I play Dark Conjurer!
[11:35] Gi
    Her effect activates!
[11:38] Gi
    When I have an evolved follower in play,
    she creates a Ghost.
[11:43] Gi
    Ghosts have Storm, so...
[11:46] Gi
    I attack again!
[11:48] Gi
    And now I end my turn!
[11:50] Gi
    How did you like that, Big Brother?
[11:52] Gu
    This isn't an issue.
[11:54] Gu
    Operation Shadow Knights will continue.
[11:58] Gu
    And you will be eliminated.
[12:01] Gi
    You're scary!
[12:03] Gi
    Maybe I'll have to show you
    something scary, too!
[12:09] Gu
    Spell Card: Veil of Darkness!
[12:21] Gu
    What is this?
[12:22] Gu
    Change! Show your new form,
    God of Curses!
[12:32] Gu
    Veil of Darkness will Shadow
    one of my followers.
[12:38] Gu
    Sh-Shadow?
[12:40] Gu
    A Shadowed follower loses all effects,
    but gains the Power of Despair!
[12:47] Gu
    The Power of... Despair?
[12:49] Gu
    Its first effect:
    if it enters combat with an enemy follower,
[12:53] Gu
    it ceases to take damage until my next turn.
[12:56] Gu
    Its second effect:
    it gains the ability to attack a follower twice,
[13:01] Gu
    and ignore Ward as well.
[13:03] Gu
    And its third effect:
[13:06] Gu
    as long as it's in play,
    enemy followers can't attack my leader!
[13:12] Gu
    Its fourth effect:
    when it attacks the enemy leader,
[13:16] Gu
    it can sacrifice my leader's own defense
    to raise its attack and defense!
[13:23] Gu
    Now, can you endure this?
[13:26] Gu
    I hope you can!
[13:28] Gu
    Shadow God of Curses, attack Ignis Dragon!
[13:37] Gu
    It's useless!
[13:38] Gu
    Its first effect activates.
[13:40] Gu
    If it attacks a follower,
    it ceases to take damage until its next turn!
[13:46] Gu
    And its second effect activates!
    It attacks twice!
[13:50] Gu
    Now, destroy it!
[13:56] Gu
    N-No!
[14:07] Gu
    But you won't give up.
[14:09] Gu
    Then face me!
[14:12] Gu
    The more you struggle,
    the deeper your despair becomes!
[14:17] Gu
    My turn!
[14:18] Gu
    Leviathan! Queen Serpent!
[14:23] Gu
    Queen Serpent, create a Megalorca!
[14:30] Gu
    It's useless!
[14:32] Gu
    The third effect for Shadow God of Curses!
[14:35] Gu
    As long as it's in play,
    your followers can't attack my leader!
[14:42] Gu
    You can keep summoning followers,
    but you can't attack me!
[14:46] Gu
    I end my turn!
[14:47] Gu
    My turn. Spell Card: Monastic Holy Water.
[14:53] Gu
    My leader's defense recovers by 2.
[14:57] Gu
    And I draw a card.
[14:59] Gu
    I play Luxhorn Sarissa.
[15:05] Gu
    Let us continue the despair.
[15:07] Gu
    First, Sarissa has Rush,
    so she attacks the Megalorca.
[15:12] Gu
    And then, Shadow God of Curses!
[15:15] Gu
    Attack! Rip them apart!
[15:20] Gu
    The first effect
    for Shadow God of Curses activates.
[15:23] Gu
    It doesn't take damage.
[15:24] Gu
    And then its second effect...
    It attacks twice!
[15:28] Gu
    Turn everything to nothing!
[15:36] Gu
    The moment when you—
[15:38] Gu
    the boy who never gives up,
    who always struggles—gives into despair...
[15:40] Gu
    It's almost here!
[15:47] Gu
    It's not over!
[15:48] Gu
    The battle isn't over!
[15:52] Gu
    I play Imprisoned Dragon and Shenlong.
[15:54] Gu
    It's useless.
[15:56] Gu
    The third effect for Shadow God of Curses!
[15:59] Gu
    Your followers can't attack me!
[16:02] Gu
    Shenlong's effect activates!
[16:04] Gu
    I discard the card in my hand
    with the lowest cost and draw two cards!
[16:09] Gu
    I have no cards in hand, so...
[16:12] Gu
    You can draw two cards without discarding?
[16:16] Gu
    Go ahead. I don't mind.
[16:23] Gu
    Evolve, Shenlong!
[16:30] Gu
    Attack Sarissa!
[16:35] Gu
    Wonderful.
[16:37] Gu
    You still don't give up.
    You still don't fall to your knees.
[16:40] Gu
    That's right! You never know
    who'll win Shadowverse until its over!
[16:45] Gu
    Then I'll end it here. And then you'll know.
[16:48] Gu
    My turn!
[16:49] Gu
    Amulet Card: Tribunal of Good and Evil!
[16:52] Gu
    Destroy an enemy follower at random!
[16:59] Gu
    And then I play Radiance Angel!
[17:05] Gu
    That follower...
[17:07] Gu
    Yes, that's right.
[17:09] Gu
    It is his card. Leon's card.
[17:12] Gu
    I gain 3 defense and draw a card.
[17:17] Gu
    Now, let's move on to the attack.
[17:20] Gu
    The second effect for Shadow God of Curses!
[17:23] Gu
    It can attack the enemy leader,
    regardless of Ward!
[17:27] Gu
    And when it does, the fourth effect
    for Shadow God of Curses activates!
[17:34] Gu
    I can drain my own leader's defense
    equal to its original attack power
[17:39] Gu
    and double its attack and defense!
[17:43] Gu
    Now despair!
[17:45] Gu
    I attack your leader
    with Shadow God of Curses!
[17:56] Gu
    I didn't attack a follower,
    so its first ability didn't activate.
[18:03] Gu
    But it doesn't matter, does it?
[18:06] Gu
    It's hopeless, even for you.
[18:09] Gu
    You're overcome with despair.
[18:13] Gu
    You're not?
[18:15] Gu
    Nope! Because this is fun!
[18:19] Gu
    Battles with super-strong opponents
    that come down to the last play!
[18:22] Gu
    This is what Shadowverse is all about!
[18:25] Gu
    If you lose, you'll be banished
    from Genesis Island!
[18:29] Gu
    Do you understand that?
[18:30] Gu
    I do! But it doesn't matter!
[18:34] Gu
    I love Shadowverse!
[18:36] Gu
    Battles excite me!
[18:38] Gu
    So...
[18:39] Gu
    I'm just going to give it my all!
SIGN    Dragon Cry
[18:43] Gu
    Amulet Card: Dragon Ruin!
[18:48] Gu
    The power of the dragon descends!
[18:55] Gu
    Dragon Ruin's first effect activates!
[18:58] Gu
    It destroys all my followers in play
[19:00] Gu
    and adds the highest-cost follower
    that was destroyed in this battle to my hand!
[19:05] Gu
    Come to me, my ace!
[19:08] Gu
    And then it sets the cost
    of that follower to 0!
[19:11] Gu
    Howl for me once more, Ignis Dragon!
[19:20] Gu
    What can you do with a follower like that?
[19:22] Gu
    What else? I can win!
[19:25] Gu
    Ignis Dragon's on-attack effect activates!
[19:27] Gu
    Its attack power goes up by 5!
[19:29] Gu
    I attack your Radiance Angel!
[19:32] Gu
    And then its effect activates,
    doing 3 damage to all enemy followers!
[19:40] Gu
    Shadow God of Curses has 12 defense!
[19:43] Gu
    Just 3 damage can't defeat it!
[19:45] Gu
    Yup! That's why I'm using this!
[19:48] Gu
    Spell Card: Dragon Cry!
[19:51] Gu
    It deals damage to an enemy follower
    equal to the attack of your followers!
[19:56] Gu
    Ignis Dragon's attack is 10!
[19:59] Gu
    So it does 10 damage
    to Shadow God of Curses!
[20:08] Gu
    My Shadow God of Curses!
[20:10] Gu
    But I still have my defense!
[20:15] Gu
    Amulet Card Dragon Ruin's
    second effect activates!
[20:21] Gu
    When one of your spells deals damage
    to an enemy follower,
[20:25] Gu
    the same damage is done to the enemy leader!
[20:29] Gu
    Your leader takes 10 damage!
[20:36] Gu
    Is this the power of Eiji Ryugasaki...
[20:39] Gu
    No, Hiro Ryugasaki?
[20:43] Gu
    This is it, Mauro!
[21:11] Gu
    I admit defeat.
    You far surpassed my expectations.
[21:17] Gu
    Mauro, wait!
[21:18] Gu
    You promised!
[21:20] Gu
    You promised to tell me
     about my dad if I won!
[21:23] Gu
    The masked players. The Shadow Knights.
[21:26] Gu
    And your father...
[21:29] Gu
    If you want to learn the truth,
    go to the Central Tower!
[21:34] Gu
    The Central Tower?
[21:37] Gu
    Is that where—
[21:40] Gu
    I'll go ask Leon directly!
[21:45] Gu
    Just wait, Leon!
