Light! Morning!
**[00:21] Light**
Good morning, Dragnir!
**[00:23] Dragnir**
It's time.
**[00:24] Light**
Yeah, it is.
**[00:26] Dragnir**
We can win, right?
**[00:30] Light**
I've become stronger!
**[00:34] Light**
And...
**[00:36] Light**
I've got my friends in Seventh Flame.
**[00:39] Light**
So we'll be fine, Dragnir!
**[00:42] Dragnir**
Okay, good to hear.
**[00:45] Light**
Okay, our Shadowverse club
tournament begins now!
**[00:50] Dragnir**
Light!
**[00:54] Dragnir**
Light...
**[00:58] Dragnir**
Change before you head out the door!
**[01:02] Light**
It begins after I change!

"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.
**[03:44] Mikado**
Good luck.
**[03:50] Light**
My fate...

**[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
***SIGN*** Private Resort
**[07:14] Subaru**
a one-day ticket to a
special private resort!
**[07:20] Ren**
A resort!
**[07:21] Ren**
Now let's take a look at
the tournament bracket!
***SIGN*** First Reaper
***SIGN*** Second Blood
***SIGN*** Fourth Wind
***SIGN*** Fifth Sword
***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**
ready?!
**[13:19] MC**
Now...
**[13:21] MC**
Three, two, one!
**[13:23] Both**
Battle! Shadowverse!

**[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?
**[19:31] Miki**
Yeah.

Shinobu Miki.
**[19:49] (Flashback) Gentleman**
I've been looking into you.
**[19:52] (Flashback) Gentleman**
You've played more battles than anyone,
**[19:55] (Flashback) Gentleman**
and you were recommended as president
for your broad range of knowledge.
**[19:58] (Flashback) Gentleman**
But you lack talent,
and your win rate reflects it.
**[20:02] (Flashback) Miki**
Who are you?
**[20:04] (Flashback) Gentleman**
Gentleman. A gentleman,
who's come to offer you a hand.
**[20:09] (Flashback) Gentleman**
If you do everything I say,
you'll win far more than you do now.
**[20:19] (Flashback) Miki**
I can win?
**[20:20] (Flashback) Gentleman**
Yeah. That's right.
**[20:26] (Flashback) Shion**
Take my hand...
**[20:28] (Flashback) Shion**
Shinobu Miki.
**[20:37] (Flashback) Gentleman**
That's right.
**[20:39] (Flashback) Shion**
We will meet again!
**[20:47] (Flashback) Shion**
Don't worry. We can win!
**[20:57] (Flashback) Miki**
It's okay, right? It has to be.
**[21:04] 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.
**[21:21] Gentleman**
Honestly, I didn't think
you'd enter the tournament at all.
**[21:28] Miki**
That was the plan, but you know...
**[21:35] Miki**
I felt like trying it.
**[21:38] Gentleman**
Trying what?
**[21:40] Miki**
A new challenge.
**[21:44] Miki**
Now let's continue, Gentleman!
**[21:49] Miki**
Let's continue our battle!
