    "The Shadowverse Club Tournament Begins!"
[02:44] Light
    So this is the stadium?
[02:56] Light
    I'll win this, for sure!
[02:58] Mikado
    Light Tenryu?
[03:02] Light
    Mikado Shirogane!
[03:04] Mikado
    You're certainly invested in this.
[03:07] Mikado
    I'm sure you would be.
[03:09] Mikado
    If you can't win, everyone in
    your club will be expelled.
[03:14] Mikado
    One loss, and it's over.
[03:18] Mikado
    Don't be so nervous.
[03:21] Mikado
    Oh, I know!
[03:23] Mikado
    Here.
[03:25] Mikado
    This was given to me by Wolfram Zerga.
[03:31] Mikado
    He says it's a fragment of your fate!
[03:34] Light
    My—!
[03:38] Mikado
    I'm hanging on to this.
[03:39] Mikado
    If you win, you can have it.

[03:59] Ren
    Wow!
[04:01] Tsubasa
    What, is it your first time here?
[04:04] Ren
    Yes! Have you been here before?
[04:07] Tsubasa
    Yeah. All the official tournaments
    and championships use this stadium.
[04:17] Subaru
    You're looking like more of a leader
    than usual, Mr. Club President.
[04:20] Itsuki
    Yeah, 'cause we have to win.
[04:24] Subaru
    Yeah. We don't the know rules
    or anything else,
[04:28] Subaru
    and we have to fight the club presidents
    of each of the Shadowverse clubs.
[04:31] Subaru
    And if we lose,
    we're expelled on the spot.
[04:34] Subaru
    We're in big trouble, huh?
[04:36] Subaru
    But you don't need to be so stiff.
[04:41] Subaru
    You're not alone.
[04:43] Gentleman
    That's right!
[04:47] Ren
    You're not alone!
[04:50] Itsuki
    Everyone...
[04:54] Itsuki
    With your help, I'll be fine, right?
[04:56] Subaru
    That's right!
[04:58] Subaru
    So, where's Light?
[05:00] Itsuki
    I haven't seen him.
[05:01] Itsuki
    He wasn't in the cafeteria at breakfast.
[05:04] Light
    Sorry!
[05:05] Subaru
    Hey!
[05:06] Light
    The stadium was bigger
    than I thought, and I got lost.
[05:11] Subaru
    We should've met outside first.
[05:15] MC
    It's time, everyone!
[05:20] MC
    It's time for the
    Shadowverse Club Tournament!
[05:24] MC
    I couldn't miss out on something so cool,
    so I've come to be your emcee!
[05:28] Light
    Who's that?
[05:29] Itsuki
    He's famous. He's the emcee
     for the national tournment.
[05:33] Light
    That's amazing!
[05:36] MC
    Now, let me begin by describing how the
    Shadowverse Club Tournament works!
[05:42] MC
    As you all know, the purpose of
    Shadowverse Battle College
[05:46] MC
    is to train the next generation
    of Shadowverse players!
[05:49] MC
    It was founded by Wolfram Zerga himself!
[05:53] MC
    There are seven clubs at the school
    that play Shadowverse!
[06:00] MC
    First Reaper!
[06:03] MC
    Second Blood!
[06:08] MC
    Third Feather!
[06:13] MC
    Fourth Wind!
[06:18] MC
    Fifth Sword!
[06:21] MC
    Sixth Magic!
[06:25] MC
    And...
[06:27] MC
    Seventh Flame!
[06:29] Background
    You can win this!
[06:30] MC
    Each of these clubs is motivated
    by a different philosophy,
[06:34] MC
    and they spend their days mastering
    the art of Shadowverse!
[06:37] MC
    But...
[06:38] MC
    The chairman of Shadowverse College,
    Mikado Shirogane, thought to himself,
[06:42] MC
    "If this school exists
    to train Shadowverse players,"
[06:44] MC
    "then we need to decide who will be the star
    of the next generation."
[06:48] MC
    "Yes, we must decide
    the strongest Shadowverse player!"
[06:52] MC
    And the result was the
    Shadowverse Club Tournament!
SIGN    Shadowverse Club Tournament
[06:57] MC
    The rules are extremely simple.
[06:59] MC
    It will be a series of
    tournament-style matches,
[07:01] MC
    where a representative of each club
    will battle, and the winner advances!
[07:06] Subaru
    Well, that's what we expected.
[07:07] Itsuki
    Yeah.
[07:08] Subaru
    And the winners receive...
SIGN    Fancy! Extra-Huge!
SIGN    Special

[07:14] Subaru
    a one-day ticket to a

    the tournament bracket!
SIGN    First Reaper

SIGN    Fourth Wind

SIGN    Third Feather
SIGN    Sixth Magic
SIGN    Seventh Flame
[07:29] Itsuki
    That's not...
[07:30] Subaru
    Hey! Hey!
[07:31] Tsubasa
    Are you serious?
[07:33] Gentleman
    That's not fair!
[07:34] Ren
    What's going on?
[07:36] MC
    S-Sorry, I'm afraid I can't...
[07:39] MC
    You tell them!
[07:44] Subaru
    Mikado Shirogane!
[07:45] Mikado
    What's wrong, Seventh Flame?
[07:48] Mikado
    Is something upsetting you?
[07:49] Subaru
    Of course!
[07:51] Subaru
    We're at a huge disadvantage
    in this tournament!
[07:54] Mikado
    I made the bracket based on the
    accomplishments and skills of each club.
[07:59] Mikado
    You guys were on the verge
    of being shut down.
[08:02] Mikado
    You can't expect to have an even match
    with the other clubs, can you?
[08:06] Subaru
    Then why is Second Blood in that spot?
[08:09] Subaru
    They're not even active!
[08:10] Tsubasa
    And the only ones in Third Feather
    who can battle are Mami and Kana!
[08:15] Mikado
    Well, you can look forward
    to finding out why.
[08:17] Mikado
    If you really don't like it,
    you can simply retire!
[08:20] Mikado
    But I'm not here to argue with you.
[08:23] Mikado
    And the rest of you aren't here
    to argue, either, right?
[08:25] Mikado
    If there's something you don't like
    about Shadowverse Battle College,
[08:30] Mikado
    then act like a student of the college
    and use Shadowverse to make me listen!
[08:34] Mikado
    When Shadowverse is used to steal something
    from you, use Shadowverse to take it back!
[08:39] Mikado
    The winner of this tournament
    will be the strongest club,
[08:42] Mikado
    the one that leads the next generation
    of Shadowverse players!
[08:46] Mikado
    Which means in this school...
[08:48] Mikado
    They are justice!
[08:50] Mikado
    Bring forth justice with your strength!
[08:53] Mikado
    The Shadowverse Club Tournament now begins!
[09:00] MC
    And so the first battle is...
[09:02] MC
    Sixth Magic versus Seventh Flame!
SIGN    Sixth Magic vs Seventh Flame
[09:06] MC
    Get ready!
[09:13] Haruma
    You can't play Shadowverse
    with a stupid grin on your face.
[09:20] Light
    Now, about who'll represent us
    in the first battle...
[09:23] Subaru
    Sixth Magic will choose
    their club president, of course.
[09:27] Subaru
    She uses Earth Rite Runecraft, right?
[09:30] Itsuki
    Miki's deck has a lot of cards with Ward.
[09:33] Itsuki
    I might not be able
    to take her out fast enough.
[09:35] Ren
    It might be tough for
     my Hero Swordcraft, too.
[09:40] Subaru
    Mine, too.
[09:41] Subaru
    Runecraft has cards like Calamitous Curse
    and Alchemist's Price.
[09:46] Subaru
    They banish my followers.
[09:50] Light
    Then I'll go.
[09:52] Gentleman
    No, your deck would be at a disadvantage.
[09:56] Gentleman
    The Armed Dragon deck uses followers
    as the center of its strategy.
[10:00] Gentleman
    It's easy prey for Earth Rite Runecraft.
[10:03] Gentleman
    And you've only prepped your deck
    to fight Shadowcraft.
[10:07] Gentleman
    Are you ready to fight Runecraft?
[10:10] Light
    Good point.
[10:12] Ren
    How about Tsubasa?
[10:14] Tsubasa
    I think I could go.
[10:16] Tsubasa
    But...
[10:17] Tsubasa
    We've got somebody better suited.
[10:22] Tsubasa
    Shouldn't you go battle her?
[10:25] Tsubasa
    You've got something to settle, right?
[10:33] Gentleman
    I don't really see it that way.
[10:37] Gentleman
    And I don't think
    she cares about me, either.
[10:41] Tsubasa
    I disagree.
[10:43] Tsubasa
    There's a lot you haven't
    said to her, right?
[10:47] Light
    Well, if you don't think
    you can win, then fine.
[10:51] Light
    A battle between two Runecraft decks
    would make it easily clear who's stronger.
[10:56] Light
    Shinobu beat me, and I beat you.
[11:00] Light
    Which implies that...
[11:02] Gentleman
    I was just unlucky!
[11:05] Light
    You were?
[11:06] Gentleman
    That's right!
[11:07] Gentleman
    If I got Mystic King,
    you wouldn't have stood a...
[11:11] MC
    Are you ready?
[11:13] Gentleman
    Fine!
[11:14] Gentleman
    I'll go!
[11:17] MC
    Our combatants for our first battle,
[11:20] MC
    Shinobu Miki of Sixth Magic, and Gentleman
    of Seventh Flame, are entering the arena!
[11:26] MC
    Shinobu uses Earth Rite Runecraft.
[11:29] MC
    And Gentleman uses Spellboost Runecraft!
[11:33] MC
    A battle between Runecraft players!
[11:39] Gentleman
    I'll show you who's the
     stronger Runecraft player.
[11:43] Students
    This is more exciting than I expected.
[11:46] Students
    I'm sure Haruma will
    come out on top, though.
[11:49] Students
    That's not true!
[11:50] Students
    The battles between the other clubs
    might be kind of fun to watch, too!
[11:55] Gentleman
    Watch me carefully,
    Light Tenryu and comrades!
[12:00] Tsubasa
    You're one of his "comrades," too, you know?
[12:04] Miki
    So you came.
[12:05] Gentleman
    I sure did.
[12:06] Itsuki
    Good luck!
[12:07] Ren
    Give 'em heck!
[12:10] Miki
    You've made some friends.
[12:13] Gentleman
    No, I haven't.
[12:15] Miki
    You sure?
    Your ears are twitching.
[12:18] Miki
    That's what you do
    when you're happy.
[12:21] Miki
    Just kidding.
[12:23] Miki
    You're smart, but you're stupid.
[12:26] Gentleman
    Is this a plan to ruin
    my mental game so you can win?
[12:30] Gentleman
    Pretty clever, for you.
[12:33] Miki
    And as always, you say one or
     two things that you shouldn't have.
[12:37] Gentleman
    That's right! I'm the same as ever!
    Completely unchanged!
[12:41] Gentleman
    So the difference in our strength
    is unchanged, too!
[12:45] Gentleman
    Shinobu Miki, I'll show you
    how Runecraft is truly played!
[12:52] Miki
    I'll teach you, too!
[12:55] MC
    Both players are raring to go!
[12:57] MC
    Are you ready to cheer them on, everyone?
[13:05] MC
    Are you ready?
[13:08] Students
    Huh?
[13:09] Students
    What are we supposed to do?
[13:10] MC
    Are...
[13:11] MC
    you...
[13:12] MC

[13:53] Gentleman
    My turn. Draw!
[13:58] Gentleman
    I'm lucky.
    I drew my best card, Mystic King.
[14:02] Gentleman
    First, let's see what you've got.
[14:04] Gentleman
    I play a Magical Pawn!
[14:06] Miki
    Your deck relies on playing that card
    multiple times, right?
[14:11] Gentleman
    That's right.
[14:13] Gentleman
    When eight or more Magical Pawns
    have been destroyed in this battle,
[14:17] Gentleman
    other Magical Pawns will get Storm.
[14:21] Gentleman
    Not that knowing that
    will help you beat me.
[14:24] Gentleman
    I end my turn.
[14:26] Miki
    Okay, sure.
[14:27] Miki
    My turn, then. Draw.
[14:31] Miki
    I play Scrap Iron Smelter.
[14:34] Miki
    It creates an Earth Sigil
    and a Scrap Golem with Ward.
[14:40] Gentleman
    Earth Sigils.
[14:41] Gentleman
    Amulet cards with no effect on their own,
[14:45] Gentleman
    but which can generate great power
    when combined with Earth Rite spells.
[14:51] Miki
    Yup.
[14:52] Miki
    Well, you know all about my deck.
[14:56] Gentleman
    Yes, 'cause I'm the one who made it!
[15:01] Miki
    Thanks for that.
[15:04] Gentleman
    And that's why, Shinobu.
[15:07] Gentleman
    That's why you can't beat me!
[15:10] Gentleman
    I play the spell card Magical Strategy,
    without using Enhance!
[15:15] Gentleman
    It creates two Magical Pawns!
[15:18] Gentleman
    And the Magical Pawn in play at the start
    of the turn attacks your Scrap Golem!
[15:26] Gentleman
    When a Magical Pawn does damage,
    its attack becomes 1.
[15:30] Gentleman
    I end my turn.
[15:32] Miki
    My turn, then.
[15:35] Miki
    I play Red-Hot Ritual.
[15:39] Miki
    It does 2 damage to an enemy follower.
[15:42] Miki
    I aim for... him!
[15:47] Miki
    And then an Earth Sigil enters play.
[15:51] Gentleman
    That's two Earth Sigils.
[15:53] Gentleman
    You're prepared for your next move.
[15:55] Gentleman
    But it won't be enough, Shinobu.
[15:59] Gentleman
    My turn! Draw!
[16:02] Gentleman
    First, I attack your leader
    with two Magical Pawns!
[16:09] Gentleman
    Their attacks become 1 because of their effect.
[16:13] Gentleman
    And then...
[16:15] Gentleman
    Spell Card: Blitz!
[16:20] Gentleman
    My leader gets a new effect!
[16:25] Gentleman
    Now I end my turn.
[16:29] Miki
    Have you used that spell card before?
[16:32] Gentleman
    Did you think I wouldn't prepare at all
    for the Shadowverse Club Tournament?
[16:38] Gentleman
    My deck has been greatly strengthened!
[16:47] Gentleman
    Hey! Don't ignore me!
[16:49] Miki
    I figured if I encouraged you,
    you'd never shut up.
[16:52] Miki
    I play Runic Guardian,
[16:58] Miki
    and its Earth Rite effect activates!
[17:08] Miki
    Its attack and defense go up by 1,
    and it gets Ward.
[17:14] Ren
    So cool!
[17:15] Itsuki
    So that's Earth Rite Runecraft.
[17:17] Subaru
    I guess she's trying
    to stall with Ward.
[17:20] Gentleman
    Not happening, Shinobu!
[17:23] Gentleman
    I play too fast
    for the eye to follow!
[17:26] Gentleman
    Ward won't save you!
[17:28] Gentleman
    The ability Blitz gave me activates!
[17:31] Gentleman
    At the start of my turn,
    three effects will take place in order!
[17:36] Gentleman
    Here's the first one!
[17:39] Gentleman
    It creates two Magical Pawns.
[17:41] Gentleman
    Then I play a Magical Knight with Rush!
[17:50] Miki
    Impressive, teacher.
[17:53] Gentleman
    Thanks...
[17:55] Gentleman
    But this outcome was inevitable,
    and thus compliments are unneeded!
[18:00] Gentleman
    First, I attack your Runic Guardian
    with my Magical Pawn!
[18:07] Gentleman
    And then I attack it
    with my Magical Knight,
[18:10] Gentleman
    and its on-attack effect activates
    and creates a Magical Pawn!
[18:16] Gentleman
    Then, I attack your leader with the Magical Pawn
    that was already on the field!
[18:27] MC
    Attack! Attack! Attack!
[18:29] MC
    A true blitzkrieg!
[18:31] MC
    Gentleman's attacks are unstoppable!
[18:34] Gentleman
    I end my turn.
[18:36] Gentleman
    The game's as good as over, Shinobu.
[18:39] Miki
    Oh, yeah?
[18:41] Miki
    Draw.
[18:44] Miki
    I play Remi & Rami, Witchy Duo
    and evolve it.
[18:57] Miki
    Its evolve effect triggers!
    Earth Rite!
[19:01] Miki
    It creates a Guardian Golem with Ward!
[19:05] Miki
    Remi & Rami attack your Magical Pawn!
[19:18] Miki
    Well, that should stall for a bit.
[19:20] Gentleman
    "Stall"?
[19:22] Gentleman
    That's not like you, Shinobu.
[19:24] Gentleman
    Remember what you said?
[19:26] Gentleman
    That it's better to give up
    than chase after possibilities?

    Yeah.

    You've played more battles than anyone,
[19:55] (Flashback) Gentleman
    and you were recommended as president

    If you do everything I say,
    you'll win far more than you do now.
[20:19] (Flashback) Miki

    I took your hand that day.
[21:08] Miki
    'Cause I couldn't win.
[21:09] Miki
    No matter how many times I tried,
    I couldn't win.
[21:11] Miki
    And that reality was crushing me.
[21:14] Miki
    Someday, I'd win.
    I told myself I was sure to win...
[21:18] Miki
    But I was sick of that possibility.

    Honestly, I didn't think
    you'd enter the tournament at all.
