[00:10] Gi
    The operation is proceeding smoothly.
[00:13] Gu
    Hm.
[00:14] Gi
    The number of Gold Rankers
    has decreased considerably, thanks to them.
[00:20] Gu
    I see. If you're losing to a Shadow Knight,
    you probably don't deserve to be here.
[00:25] Gu
    You seem happy.
[00:28] Gu
    Because he's still here.
[00:34] Gu
    This tournament doesn't make sense!
[00:40] Gu
    I can see it!
[00:46] Gu
    Am I here?
[00:51] Gu
    Okay! Time to go!
[00:53] Gu
    Just wait for me, Leon!
[01:05] Gu
    What?
[01:08] Gu
    You can't see the moon from here.
[01:10] Gu
    L-Luca?
[01:11] Gu
    Hiro, I've been waiting for
    you to make it to Gold Rank.
[01:15] Gu
    I don't have time to battle right now.
[01:18] Gu
    Haven't you seen those guys with masks?
[01:21] Gu
    Yeah, I just battled one.
[01:23] Gu
    They didn't seem like
    they were part of the tournament.
[01:25] Gu
    Then—
[01:26] Gu
    But I don't care.
[01:27] Gu
    But you know
    something's not right here, don't you?
[01:31] Gu
    What if it isn't?
[01:33] Gu
    I just want to win the Shadow Grand Prix.
[01:36] Gu
    N-Now's not the time.
[01:38] Gu
    What else is there?
[01:40] Gu
    The tournament isn't over yet.
[01:43] Gu
    I'm going to win it.
[01:45] Gu
    I can't go back.
[01:47] Gu
    Luca...
[01:49] Gu
    But first, I need to pay you back
     for last time.
[01:54] Gu
    Or will you run?
[01:56] Gu
    I don't mind if you do.
[01:59] Gu
    I won't!
[02:00] Gu
    I'll never run from you.
[02:02] Gu
    Then get ready.
[02:06] Gu
    Good.
[02:07] Gu
    If I win, you need to hear me out.
[02:09] Gu
    I'll win.
[02:11] Gu
    I won't lose to anyone.
[02:12] Gu
    Oh, won't you?
[02:13] Gu
    Battle! Shadowverse!
SIGN    Episode 21 
    Battle of Destiny
[03:50] Gi
    My turn! Draw!
[03:52] Gi
    Come out, my followers!
[03:56] Gi
    Cute, right?
[03:59] Gi
    You're not cute at all.
[04:01] Gi
    I end my turn.
[04:02] Gu
    My turn, then.
[04:04] Gu
    I play a Fighter,
    and an Ancient Lion Spirit.
[04:07] Gu
    Shadow Aura grants Storm
    to followers with no effects.
[04:12] Gu
    My Fighter gets Storm.
[04:15] Gu
    Fighter and Guardian Nun attack your leader.
[04:21] Gi
    You don't care
    about attacking my followers, huh?
[04:26] Gu
    That's not true.
[04:28] Gu
    I evolve Ancient Lion Spirit.
[04:31] Gu
    Its on-evolve effect activates,
    doing 2 damage to all your followers.
[04:38] Gi
    Zombeagle's effect activates.
[04:40] Gi
    It comes back to my hand.
[04:42] Gi
    And Rabbit Necromancer's
    Last Words activate,
[04:45] Gi
    doing 2 damage to your leader!
[04:50] Gu
    Not a problem.
[04:51] Gu
    Your defeat is assured.
[04:54] Gu
    I end my turn.
[04:55] Gi
    My turn, then.
[04:57] Gi
    Draw!
[04:58] Gi
    Spell Card: Deathbrand!
[05:03] Gi
    Go!
[05:05] Gi
    I destroy Ancient Lion Spirit!
[05:08] Gi
    Spell Card: Soul Hunt!
[05:10] Gi
    Bye-bye!
[05:13] Gi
    And then I play Undying Resentment.
[05:18] Gi
    4 damage to your Fighter!
[05:21] Gi
    Well?
[05:23] Gu
    Not a problem.
[05:24] Gu
    You will lose to me.
[05:26] Gu
    My turn. Draw.
[05:29] Gu
    Holy Sentinel's Countdown reaches 0,
[05:32] Gu
    creating a Guardian Fox.
[05:35] Gu
    I play Amulet Card: Dual Flames!
[05:40] Gi
    An Amulet with a Countdown?
[05:42] Gi
    It's too late in the game.
[05:44] Gu
    I play Spell Card: Hallowed Dogma,
[05:47] Gu
    reducing the Countdown
    of a single Amulet by 2,
[05:50] Gu
    and drawing a card!
[05:52] Gu
    Come forth, Holyflame Tiger!
[05:56] Gu
    Shadow Aura's effect activates,
    granting Storm to followers without effects.
[06:02] Gu
    Two Holyflame Tigers with Storm
    attack your leader!
[06:11] Gu
    Operation Shadow Knights is an absolute order.
[06:14] Gu
    The weak will be removed
    from the tournament.
[06:17] Gi
    So that's your goal, Big Brother?
[06:21] Gu
    Correct. We don't need weak players.
[06:25] Gi
    I see. Then...
    you won't be able to eliminate me!
[06:32] Gi
    Because I'm strong!
[06:37] Gi
    Rip him apart, Cursed Soldier!
[06:41] Gu
    Is that all?
[06:43] Gi
    Yup. This is all.
[06:44] Gu
    Then the battle ends here.
[06:47] Gi
    Yup.
[06:49] Gi
    It's over.
[06:58] Gi
    Cursed Soldier's Necromancy effect
    does 4 damage to the enemy leader.
[07:04] Gu
    N-No...
[07:06] Gi
    You are the one to be eliminated.
[07:13] Gi
    If my fans saw this, they'd get scared.
[07:17] Gu
    I'll eliminate you here!
[07:19] Gu
    I attack your leader with Goliath!
[07:23] Gu
    This is still within my calculations.
[07:25] Gu
    I will be the winner.
    That outcome hasn't changed!
[07:29] Gu
    Draw!
[07:30] Gu
    I play Witchbolt!
[07:32] Gu
    4 damage to Goliath!
[07:40] Gu
    Hiro would say that
    the battle is just getting started.
[07:44] Gu
    I think it's almost over!
[07:48] Gi
    Let's end it, then.
[07:58] Gu
    They're too strong.
[08:00] Gu
    We can't beat them.
[08:03] Gu
    What are you saying?
[08:05] Gu
    If you haven't lost, you can still win.
[08:07] Gu
    That was you who said that, right?
[08:10] Gu
    If you win this battle,
    you can get to Gold Rank!
[08:14] Gu
    You can't lose, can you, Kazuki?
[08:17] Gu
    Yeah, you're right, Kai.
[08:20] Gu
    The battle isn't over yet.
[08:22] Gu
    Which means it's just getting started!
[08:26] Gu
    I play Dragonrider!
[08:29] Gu
    I end my turn.
[08:30] Gu
    My turn.
[08:31] Gu
    I play Yurius, Levin Duke.
[08:34] Gu
    Oh, the one that does 1 damage to an
    opponent each time they play a follower.
[08:39] Gu
    That one's tough.
[08:42] Gu
    Hey, Luca. Tell me...
[08:44] Gu
    Why do you want to win so much?
[08:48] Gu
    Is Shadowverse still not fun for you?
[08:51] Gu
    I don't know. My battle with you
    changed me... just a little.
[08:57] Gu
    But not my core, Hiro.
[09:00] Gu
    My core will never change.
[09:02] Gu
    Luca.
[09:05] Gu
    I end my turn.
[09:06] Gu
    Your turn, Hiro.
[09:08] Gu
    Draw. I play Roc.
[09:11] Gu
    Yurius's effect activates,
    doing 1 damage to your leader.
[09:17] Gu
    I attack your leader with Dragonrider!
[09:22] Gu
    Now I end my turn.
[09:24] Gu
    My turn.
[09:26] Gu
    I play Metal Gargoyle,
[09:28] Gu
    and Yurius attacks your leader.
[09:33] Gu
    I end my turn.
[09:35] Gu
    Then it's my turn!
[09:36] Gu
    I attack Yurius with Roc.
[09:38] Gu
    Will the hit land, I wonder?
[09:39] Gu
    It will!
[09:41] Gu
    Roc's on-attack effect activates, giving it
    2 additional attack until the end of the turn.
[09:46] Gu
    Go, Roc!
[09:53] Gu
    And then I attack your Metal Gargoyle
    with my Dragonrider.
[09:57] Gu
    That one won't be enough.
[10:01] Gu
    But that's not all, is it?
[10:03] Gu
    Of course not!
[10:05] Gu
    I play Glint Dragon!
[10:08] Gu
    Its effect activates,
    doing 1 damage to an enemy follower!
[10:12] Gu
    Yes.
[10:14] Gu
    You're the same as ever.
[10:15] Gu
    No, more than before...
[10:17] Gu
    And I'm sure you will keep getting stronger.
[10:21] Gu
    I end my turn, Luca.
[10:23] Gu
    Yeah. My turn.
[10:25] Gu
    Come forth, Veight, Vampire Noble.
[10:27] Gu
    Evolve!
[10:29] Gu
    Attack Roc!
[10:32] Gu
    And Veight's on-combat effect activates.
[10:38] Gu
    A Forest Bat enters play!
[10:41] Gu
    That's another tough one.
[10:43] Gu
    It keeps creating Forest Bats
    each time it gets into combat.
[10:46] Gu
    There are no followers in my deck
    that can be easily defeated.
[10:50] Gu
    Now, your turn.
[10:52] Gu
    Right. Draw!
[10:55] Gu
    If I shouldn't be entering combat
    with that follower,
[10:59] Gu
    I'll defeat it with this!
[11:01] Gu
    Spell Card: Wild Hunt!
[11:06] Gu
    It destroys one damaged enemy follower!
[11:15] Gu
    And then I play Firstborn Dragon.
[11:18] Gu
    And then, I attack your leader
    with Glint Dragon!
[11:24] Gu
    I end my turn!
[11:25] Gu
    How about it, Luca?
    I'm stronger now, aren't I?
[11:28] Gu
    Yeah. I can feel all the battles
    you've been in.
[11:32] Gu
    Hiro, you've gotten stronger
    for your own sake.
[11:35] Gu
    But I'm different.
    I'm going to get stronger for Shiori!
[11:40] Gu
    Demonhand Assassin! Evolve!
[11:47] Gu
    Rip them apart! Attack Firstborn Dragon!
[11:52] Gu
    And then Razory Claw!
[11:55] Gu
    It does 2 damage to my leader
    and then 3 damage to Glint Dragon!
[12:04] Gu
    I attack your leader with Forest Bat!
[12:09] Gu
    That's the difference
    between you and me, Hiro.
[12:12] Gu
    You battle for your own sake.
[12:14] Gu
    But I never do.
[12:19] Gu
    Hiro, my sister is alone
    in a hospital bed, even as we speak.
[12:25] Gu
    To treat her illness,
    I need to win, and nothing else.
[12:30] Gu
    If I keep winning,
    I'll get the power to save her.
[12:34] Gu
    She says she wants me to smile.
[12:37] Gu
    But I can't. I don't have the time.
[12:42] Gu
    I end my turn.
[12:49] [SONG] Sign
    Cursed Soldier
SIGN    Albert, Levin Saber
[12:57] Gu
    I play Spell Card: Whole-Souled Swing.
[13:00] Gu
    It does 2 damage to an enemy follower.
[13:06] Gu
    And I create a Knight.
[13:08] Gu
    Shadow Aura's effect grants Storm
    to followers without effects.
[13:15] Gu
    The Knight attacks your Fairy Whisperer.
[13:19] Gu
    I play Snippy Gardener and end my turn.
[13:22] Gi
    You're strong.
[13:23] Gu
    You're weak. Why not give up?
[13:27] Gi
    Yeah, I'm not strong.
[13:30] Gi
    But I can't give up.
[13:33] Gi
    My turn! Draw!
[13:35] Gi
    I play a Fairy and Elf Girl Liza.
[13:38] Gi
    Her effect activates, and my followers cease
    to take damage from effects.
[13:44] Gi
    Pierce through, Elf Metallurgist.
[13:46] Gi
    Her effect activates.
[13:49] Gi
    If I've played two or more followers this turn,
    it does 2 damage to an enemy follower.
[13:56] Gi
    I won't lose! Because I'm sure the others...
[14:00] Gi
    are fighting without giving up!
[14:03] Gu
    I didn't know that you had a sister.
[14:07] Gu
    Or that she was sick.
[14:09] Gu
    She's my only family.
[14:12] Gu
    My one treasure.
[14:15] Gu
    I see...
[14:17] Gu
    Like Grandpa to me?
[14:20] Gu
    But Luca, what do you want to do?
[14:24] Gu
    Me?
[14:25] Gu
    You actually want to enjoy
    Shadowverse, don't you?
[14:32] Gu
    Then I can't accept this!
[14:34] Gu
    I hate to see you lying to yourself!
[14:37] Gu
    It's none of your business.
[14:39] Gu
    It is!
[14:40] Gu
    Because, Luca,
    this battle is between you and me!
[14:44] Gu
    I play Serpent Wrath,
    dealing 6 damage to Demonhand Assassin!
[14:53] Gu
    What does that matter?
[14:55] Gu
    What does it matter that
     this battle is between you and me?!
[14:58] Gu
    Don't try to carry all the burdens yourself!
[15:00] Gu
    Don't try to suffer all by yourself!
[15:02] Gu
    Dragon Emissary!
[15:03] Gu
    It lets you add a card
    with cost 5 or greater to your hand
SIGN    Seabrand Dragon
[15:07] Gu
    and then lowers its cost by 1.
[15:09] Gu
    Luca, I may not be help with everything,
[15:13] Gu
    but I can do something. I know it!
[15:16] Gu
    We're friends now, right?
[15:20] Gu
    "Friends"?
[15:21] Gu
    Yeah, that's right.
[15:22] Gu
    Not just me.
[15:24] Gu
    The others are somewhere
    on this island, battling...
[15:26] Gu
    Mimori, Kazuki, and Kai!
[15:29] Gu
    We're all united by our love of Shadowverse!
[15:31] Gu
    We're friends!
[15:35] Gu
    So if hurts, say so!
[15:39] Gu
    I can't.
[15:40] Gu
    Forest Bat!
[15:44] Gu
    I can't. I can't rely on anybody.
[15:47] Gu
    Because...
[15:56] Gu
    Even if I do, the world will betray me.
[15:59] Gu
    The world isn't that kind!
[16:01] Gu
    Maelstrom Dragon!
[16:04] Gu
    If there's anything you can rely on
    in a world full of cruelty,
[16:08] Gu
    it's your own power!
[16:10] Gu
    Your words can't change me!
[16:12] Gu
    That's right.
[16:14] Gu
    I didn't think I could make you
    understand by lecturing you.
[16:18] Gu
    I'm not that good at talking.
[16:21] Gu
    So...
[16:24] Gu
    So I'll tell you how I feel
    with Shadowverse! Through this battle!
[16:30] Gu
    I play Ivory Dragon!
[16:33] Gu
    Its Overflow effect activates!
[16:36] Gu
    I draw a card!
[16:39] Gu
    Then I play Leviathan!
[16:41] Gu
    Its Overflow effect activates!
[16:44] Gu
    It gains the ability to attack!
[16:47] ---
    Here I come, Luca!
[16:49] Gu
    I play the spell card Dragon Blitz!
[16:52] Gu
    All my followers gain 1 defense!
[16:56] Gu
    And if I'm in Overflow,
    all followers get Rush!
[17:02] Gu
    An Overflow combo?
[17:04] Gu
    Ivory Dragon, Leviathan, attack!
[17:16] Gu
    Luca, this time my heart will reach you!
[17:22] Gu
    Then this time I'll tell you...
[17:26] Gu
    Hiro, you're strong.
[17:28] Gu
    But you and I are too different.
[17:30] Gu
    I'm following my own path.
[17:32] Gu
    And if you get in my way,
    I'll rip you apart!
[17:38] Gu
    You're mine!
[17:40] Gu
    I attack your leader with Flame Destroyer!
[17:46] Gu
    That was a little close,
[17:48] Gu
    but still within expected calculations.
[17:52] Gu
    Kazuki!
[17:57] Gi
    Spell Card: Blood Rage.
[18:00] Gu
    A single spell destroyed it?
[18:02] Gu
    But its Last Words activate,
    creating a Fortress Guard!
[18:10] Gi
    Weak.
[18:12] Gi
    I play Spell Card: Hungering Horde.
[18:16] Gi
    3 damage is dealt to an enemy follower.
[18:21] Gi
    And then Lucius, Goblin Slayer
    attacks your leader!
[18:32] Gi
    You're not worthy.
[18:34] Gi
    So it's over.
[18:37] Gi
    I end my turn.
[18:38] Gu
    Dang it.
[18:41] Gu
    My turn!
[18:43] Gu
    Please!
SIGN    Onslaught
[18:47] Gu
    This could do it!
[18:48] Gu
    Spell Card: Onslaught!
[18:50] Gu
    I destroy an enemy follower, y'know!
[18:57] Gi
    Futile struggles.
[18:59] Gi
    That spell won't even buy you time.
[19:02] Gu
    I end my turn.
[19:04] Gu
    Let's end this.
[19:06] Gi
    My turn! Draw!
[19:09] Gi
    Come forth, Demonic Sniper
     and Mercenary Drifter!
[19:13] Gi
    Shadow Aura's effect activates,
    granting Storm to any followers without effects!
[19:18] Gu
    Th-That's bad news, y'know!
[19:20] Gi
    Both attack your leader!
[19:29] Gi
    You have just 1 defense left.
[19:31] Gi
    It's over.
[19:33] Gi
    Give up.
[19:38] Gi
    You don't understand?
[19:39] Gi
    You can't win.
[19:41] Gu
    We won't know until we try!
[19:45] Gi
    We already know.
[19:47] Gu
    No, we don't!
[19:49] Gu
    Until I lose for good, I'll never,
[19:52] Gu
    ever,
[19:53] Gu
    ever,
[19:55] Gu
    give up, you know!
[20:10] Gi
    A legendary follower, with Storm?
[20:12] Gu
    You came for me, Albert!
[20:14] Gu
    Here I go! Albert, Levin Saber
    attacks your leader!
[20:22] Gi
    I still have defense left.
[20:25] Gi
    It's not enough.
[20:26] Gu
    My attack isn't over!
[20:29] Gu
    Albert, Levin Saber gets two attacks per turn!
[20:33] Gu
    Go! Hit her again, y'know!
[20:44] Gu
    Yes!
[20:47] Gu
    I won!
[20:49] Gu
    Gold Rank is mine!
[20:51] Gu
    You did it, Kazuki!
[20:54] Gu
    I did it, Kai!
[20:57] Gu
    We did it!
[21:00] Gu
    There's no time for this!
[21:03] Gu
    Ow...
[21:04] Gu
    Oh, right? You were fighting me.
[21:07] Gu
    No. Something's not right with this.
[21:11] Gu
    Let's head for the Central Tower.
[21:13] Gu
    Is something weird going on?
[21:16] Gu
    Forget it. Let's go!
[21:19] Gu
    Hey, wait!
[21:30] Gu
    So you couldn't defeat him after all?
[21:35] Gu
    He was stronger than I thought.
[21:38] Gu
    Well, he's Eiji Ryugasaki's son.
[21:41] Gu
    It makes sense.
[21:44] Gu
    But don't worry.
[21:47] Gu
    You'll win.
[21:48] Gu
    If you do your duty, that is.
[23:24] Gu
    Shadowverse Card Showcase!
[23:26] Gu
    This is today's card!
SIGN    Dragon Ruin
[23:27] Gu
    Dragon Ruin!
[23:28] Gu
    It destroys all your followers,
    but this Amulet Card has a powerful effect.
