[01:35] ---
    This will finish it!
[01:43] Gu
    Yes!
[01:46] Gu
    Not bad, Hiro!
[01:47] Gu
    Nobody at school's a match for you, ya know?
[01:50] Gu
    Really?
[01:51] Gi
    Yeah, you were super strong!
[01:53] Gi
    I don't stand a chance against you anymore!
[01:56] Gu
    No, I've got a long way to go!
[01:59] Gu
    I need to get stronger,
    or I won't be able to beat him.
[02:12] Gu
    Are you Hiro Ryugasaki?
[02:14] Gu
    Yeah, why?
[02:26] Gu
    You seem to be a fake.
[02:29] Gu
    Where's the real Hiro?
[02:30] Gu
    I'm the real Hiro!
[02:32] Gi
    Um, Hiro is the real Hiro.
[02:35] Gu
    I refuse to believe a boy with a funny face
    like you could be him.
[02:39] Gu
    Oh you think so, huh?
[02:41] Gu
    Who are you, anyway?
[02:44] Gu
    Kai Ijuin, class A-1.
[02:46] Gu
    A Shadowverse player,
    and a genius among geniuses.
[02:51] Gu
    Genius?
[02:52] Gu
    You're calling yourself a genius?
[02:54] Gu
    And wait, you're younger than we are!
[02:55] Gu
    I'm not merely a genius.
    I'm a genius among geniuses.
[02:59] Gu
    I have no interest one
    so uncouth. Get lost.
[03:03] Gu
    Hey, I'm not an elephant! I'm a human!
[03:08] Gu
    I apologize. By "uncouth," I meant an
     unrefined person of no consequence.
[03:13] Gu
    I assumed it was a word
     you would understand.
[03:17] Gu
    Wh-What?
[03:18] Gi
    C-Calm down.
[03:20] Gu
    Hiro Ryugasaki,
    I challenge you to a battle.
[03:24] Gu
    If you're the real Hiro Ryugasaki,
[03:27] Gu
    and you defeated Luca Yonazuki.
[03:30] Gu
    Luca?
[03:31] Gu
    Prove it to me.
[03:36] Gu
    I don't know what's going on, but sure!
[03:38] Gu
    Hold it!
[03:39] Gu
    Hiro, let me handle this!
[03:42] Gu
    I can't take what he said lying down!
[03:45] Gu
    You're no match for me.
    It wouldn't be a fair fight!
[03:49] Gu
    You're younger than me, ya know!
    Show some respect!
[03:52] Gu
    I'll show you my power!
[03:56] Gu
    Very well.
[03:58] Gu
    The simulation is ready.
[04:01] Gu
    I'll say this now...
[04:03] Gu
    You'll lose on turn 7!
[04:07] Gu
    How could you know that
    before we even battle?
[04:10] Gu
    I can!
[04:12] Gu
    I'm a genius among geniuses!
[04:16] Gu
    Battle! Shadowverse!
[04:18] Gu
    My turn!
[04:19] Gu
    I'll play a Quickblader!
[04:21] Gu
    And attack your leader!
[04:23] Gu
    How about that?
[04:25] Gu
    Within expectations.
[04:27] Gu
    Now, my turn...
[04:29] Gu
    And then...
[04:31] Gu
    And then I'll do this...
[04:33] Gu
    And this!
[04:34] Gu
    And finally, this!
[04:36] Gu
    This is the power of the Witch class!
[04:39] Gu
    I'll attack your leader
    with my Rune Blade Summoner!
[04:42] Gu
    S-Seriously?
[04:43] Gu
    Seriously?
[04:49] Gu
    I-I lost!
[04:51] Gu
    And right on turn 7.
[04:53] Gu
    And right on turn 7!
[04:56] Gu
    Gah!
[04:58] Gi
    Kazuki, are you okay?
[05:00] Gu
    Hiro Ryugasaki, are you ready?
[05:03] Gu
    I sure am!
[05:04] Gu
    Kazuki, leave it to me!
[05:06] Gu
    I'll get him back!
[05:07] Gu
    Thanks, Hiro!
[05:08] Gu
    If you win, I'll give you extra helpings
    at my family's restaurant for a week!
[05:19] Gu
    Battle!
[05:20] Gu
    Shadowverse—
[05:20] Gu
    Oh, oops.
[05:22] Gu
    Wh-What's wrong?
[05:23] Gu
    Lunch will be over in 10 minutes.
[05:26] Gu
    Considering how long it'll take me
    to get back, I need to go now.
[05:30] Gu
    Otherwise I won't be in my seat
    five minutes before class starts.
[05:34] Gu
    Hey!
[05:35] Gu
    What about our battle?
[05:40] Gu
    After school, at the Shadowverse Stadium
    by the station. I'll see you then.
[05:44] Gu
    I'll show you the power
    of a genius among geniuses.
[05:48] Gu
    Now, farewell!
[05:53] Gu
    H-He's a weirdo, ya know?
[05:55] Gu
    Y-Yeah...
[05:57] Gu
    But he's definitely good at Shadowverse!
[06:01] Gu
    I can't wait till school gets out!
[06:16] Gu
    It's finally time, Kai!
[06:19] Gu
    Are you ready to lose?
[06:21] Gu
    I ain't gonna lose!
[06:23] Gu
    And I've gotta get stronger!
[06:28] Gu
    I'll tell you now, then!
[06:30] Gu
    Hiro Ryugasaki, you'll lose on turn 8!
[06:34] Gu
    Oh, yeah?
    Let's see if you can make it happen!
[06:38] Gu
    Battle! Shadowverse!
[07:40] Gu
    My turn!
[07:42] Gu
    Draw!
[07:44] Gu
    I play a Bejeweled Dragon!
[07:46] Gu
    And end my turn!
[07:48] Gu
    My turn, then.
[07:51] Gu
    I'll play the spell card Insight,
[07:55] Gu
    which lets me draw a card from my deck.
SIGN    Summon Snow
[08:00] Gu
    And I end my turn.
[08:03] Gu
    Looks like a pretty peaceful deck.
[08:05] Gu
    Peaceful?
[08:07] Gu
    You're about to learn the power
    of a Spellboost.
[08:11] Gu
    A "Spellboost"?
[08:13] Gu
    That sounds neat!
[08:15] Gu
    My turn! Draw!
[08:15] Gi
    Hiro looks like he's having fun.
[08:17] Gu
    It's fine to have fun,
    but he needs to avenge me!
[08:23] Gu
    I play Dragon Oracle!
[08:25] Gu
    It gives me a play point!
[08:27] Gu
    And then I attack your leader
    with the Bejeweled Dragon!
[08:30] Gu
    I play Witchbolt!
[08:33] Gu
    And destroy your Imprisoned Dragon!
[08:35] Gu
    And then I attack your Bejeweled Dragon
    with my Clay Golem!
[08:41] Gu
    My turn!
[08:44] Gu
    Here I go!
[08:44] Gu
    Firstborn Dragon!
[08:47] Gu
    I end my turn.
[08:49] Gu
    Draw.
[08:55] Gu
    It's time to show you, then.
[08:59] Gu
    I play Insight from my hand!
[09:01] Gu
    Its ability allows me
    to draw a card from my hand.
[09:05] Gu
    And then I play Summon Snow!
[09:10] Gu
    When I play this card,
    it first lets me play a Snowman.
[09:15] Gu
    Is that all?
[09:18] Gu
    That's not all.
[09:20] Gu
    Spellboosted increases the number
    of Snowmen played every time.
[09:24] Gu
    In other words, each time I use a spell,
    they grow in number!
[09:28] ---
    What?!
[09:29] Gu
    I've played three spells!
[09:32] Gu
    Thus, three additional Snowmen appear!
[09:37] Gu
    Seriously?
[09:41] Gu
    I evolve my Snowman
    and attack your Firstborn Dragon!
[09:50] Gu
    Then I attack your leader
    with my Clay Golem!
[09:56] Gu
    I end my turn.
[09:57] Gu
    Well? Do you understand
    the power of Spellboosts?
[10:02] Gu
    Yeah! I'm super excited!
[10:07] Gu
    My turn!
[10:09] Gu
    I play Leviathan!
[10:11] Gu
    He can't attack unless he's in Overflow.
[10:14] Gu
    But my next turn...
[10:17] Gu
    I end my turn!
[10:18] Gu
    I see.
[10:20] Gu
    Leviathan is a powerful follower.
[10:23] Gu
    But he's no match
    for the power of Spellboost!
[10:26] Gu
    I play Wind Blast!
[10:36] Gu
    A single spell card destroyed Leviathan?
[10:39] Gu
    Each Spellboost enhances
    the power of Wind Blast!
[10:44] Gu
    Wow...
[10:45] Gu
    There's more!
[10:47] Gu
    I attack your leader with all my followers.
[10:51] Gu
    What?!
[10:59] Gu
    Hiro!
[11:00] Gi
    Hiro!
[11:03] Gu
    I end my turn!
[11:09] Gu
    Is this all you've got?
[11:13] Gu
    Of course not!
SIGN    Leviathan
SIGN    Blade Mage
[11:33] Gu
    I can overcome any danger!
[11:42] Gu
    7 play points?
[11:43] Gu
    He's in Overflow?
[11:46] Gu
    Yeah!
[11:47] Gu
    This is where Dragons get really strong!
[11:49] Gu
    Here I go!
[11:50] Gu
    I play Dragon Wings!
[11:56] Gu
    It does 1 damage to all followers!
[12:02] Gu
    I play Seabrand Dragon from my hand!
[12:07] Gu
    In Overflow, this follower has Storm!
[12:11] Gu
    And then I evolve it!
[12:16] Gu
    Go!
[12:18] Gu
    Seabrand Dragon!
[12:27] Gu
    This is what makes Shadowverse great!
[12:31] Gu
    I'll accept it.
[12:33] Gu
    You're really Hiro Ryugasaki.
[12:36] Gu
    You still didn't believe me?
[12:38] Gu
    But I can't see you beating Luca Yonazuki!
[12:43] Gu
    I play Sorcery Cache!
[12:45] Gu
    I Spellboost one card from my hand
    and draw a card!
[12:49] Gu
    Then I play Conjure Golem!
[12:51] Gu
    It creates a Clay Golem.
[12:53] Gu
    Then I play Fiery Embrace
[12:56] Gu
    and destroy the Seabrand Dragon!
[12:58] Gu
    Then, with Spellboost lowering the cost
    of my followers, I play two of them!
[13:03] Gu
    I evolve Blade Mage and attack your leader!
[13:11] Gu
    Wh-What a combo!
[13:14] Gu
    Everything is just as I calculated.
[13:16] Gu
    Don't you think you should surrender?
[13:20] Gu
    Not yet!
[13:21] Gu
    It's finally getting fun!
[13:24] Gu
    You coulnd't have beaten Luca Yonazuki
    just by not giving up.
[13:28] Gu
    Did something happen between you and him?
[13:30] Gu
    You seem kind of obsessed.
[13:34] Gu
    Something did happen.
[13:36] Gu
    He...
[13:38] Gu
    He's the first person to beat me!
[13:42] Gu
    The first person to beat you?
[13:46] Gu
    I'm a genius among geniuses.
[13:49] Gu
    School tests are so easy they're boring.
[13:52] Gu
    I always get the top score on my tests.
SIGN    General Practice Exams
[13:54] Gu
    I've broken many records.
[13:57] Gu
    Yes.
[13:58] Gu
    Nobody had ever defeated me
    in a battle of minds.
SIGN    National Middle School Quiz Tournament
[14:03] Gu
    Of course, I always won
    every Shadowverse game.
[14:09] Gu
    But...
[14:10] (Flashback) Gu
    Rip him apart.
[14:11] (Flashback) Gu
    Blood Wolf!
[14:14] (Flashback) Gu
    My calculations were wrong?!
[14:22] (Flashback) Gu
    It seems I've wasted my time.
[14:25] (Flashback) Gu
    Wait! One more battle!
[14:28] (Flashback) Gu
    I've no interest.
[14:30] (Flashback) Gu
    You're weak.
[14:36] Gu
    I lost.
[14:38] Gu
    It was less frustrating
    than it was disheartening.
[14:42] Gu
    But...
[14:45] Gu
    But I still couldn't choose to give up.
[14:49] Gu
    I'm a genius among geniuses.
    And I love Shadowverse.
[14:54] Gu
    I end my turn.
[14:57] Gu
    I see.
[14:58] Gu
    Then you're just like me.
[15:00] Gu
    Just like you?
[15:01] Gu
    Yeah. Get 'em, Dragon Warrior!
[15:04] Gu
    Evolve!
[15:07] Gu
    When Dragon Warrior evolves,
    it deals 3 damage to an enemy's follower!
[15:14] Gu
    Then I play Ironscale Dragonfolk!
[15:17] Gu
    When I have an evolved follower
    under my control,
[15:21] Gu
    it deals 2 damage to an opponent's follower!
[15:25] Gu
    Now burn! Dragon Warrior!
[15:33] Gu
    I love Shadowverse!
[15:35] Gu
    And I owe Luca Yonazuki one!
[15:38] Gu
    So we're the same!
[15:42] Gu
    I see.
[15:44] Gu
    But...
[15:45] Gu
    I'll be the first to defeat him!
[15:47] Gu
    I'll show you the power of time magic!
[15:50] Gu
    Chrono Witch! Come forth!
[15:59] Gu
    Wh-What is that card?
SIGN    Chrono Witch
[16:02] Gu
    Its original cost is 13?!
[16:05] Gu
    Spellboost decreases this follower's cost.
[16:10] Gu
    Of course, that's not all!
[16:12] Gu
    Evolve!
[16:13] Gu
    Turn back time!
[16:18] Gu
    When Chrono Witch evolves,
[16:21] Gu
    all non-neutral followers destroyed during
     the opponent's last turn return to the field.
[16:27] Gu
    No way!
[16:28] Gu
    This was all part of the plan.
[16:31] Gu
    Begin the attack!
[16:32] Gu
    Go, Chrono Witch!
[16:36] Gu
    Now I attack the leader with Blade Mage!
[16:41] Gu
    Lastly, I play an Ogler!
[16:43] Gu
    Now I end my turn.
[16:46] Gu
    Nice, Kai!
[16:47] Gu
    I can't give up that easily, either.
[16:51] Gu
    Now, Hiro Ryugasaki!
[16:53] Gu
    It's turn 8 next.
[16:55] Gu
    You're going to lose!
[16:57] Gu
    Nope! I'm going to win!
[17:00] Gu
    You know Kai's really strong,
    'cause he beat me!
[17:05] Gi
    Is Hiro okay?
[17:07] Gu
    I believe in him, ya know?
[17:09] Gu
    Go, Hiro!
[17:11] Gu
    If I beat you, I can get stronger!
[17:13] Gu
    I just know it!
[17:15] Gu
    My turn! Draw!
[17:18] Gu
    Howl, Ignis Dragon!
[17:29] Gu
    Go!
[17:38] Gu
    I'm not done yet!
[17:39] Gu
    I play Maelstrom Dragon from my hand!
[17:42] Gu
    In Overflow, it has Storm!
[17:45] Gu
    Maelstrom Dragon,
    attack along with Dragon Warrior!
[17:57] Gu
    I want to get stronger!
[17:59] Gu
    Strong enough to surpass him!
[18:01] Gu
    So I won't lose!
[18:06] Gu
    I-Ignis Dragon?
[18:09] Gu
    Th-That's impossible!
[18:13] Gu
    The probability I can win this...
[18:16] Gu
    ...is almost zero!
[18:29] Gu
    I'm going to lose!
[18:38] Gu
    No! I'm not done yet!
[18:41] Gu
    My turn! Draw!
[18:45] Gu
    Summon Iceform can't turn
    this around on its own.
[18:48] Gu
    But it can buy me time.
[18:51] Gu
    A genius among geniuses isn't so weak
    that he'll lose twice!
[18:55] Gu
    Burn them to ash, Flame Witch!
[18:57] Gu
    And now I play Summon Iceform!
[19:00] Gu
    It summons an Ice Golem!
[19:04] Gu
    The Ice Golem will disappear next turn,
[19:07] Gu
    but with Ward,
    it will protect me this turn!
[19:11] Gu
    And then the Flame Witch's ability activates!
[19:14] Gu
    Every time I play a spell card,
[19:16] Gu
    it does 1 damage
    to all my opponent's followers!
[19:22] Gu
    Way to go, Kai!
[19:25] Gu
    This ends turn 8, but...
[19:27] Gu
    I'm not giving up yet!
[19:29] Gu
    I end my turn!
[19:31] Gu
    That's right!
[19:33] Gu
    You never know who'll win
    Shadowverse until the end!
[19:36] Gu
    My turn!
[19:37] Gu
    Draw!
SIGN    Dragon Cry
[19:40] Gu
    So I'll give it all I've got!
[19:43] Gu
    I play Dragon Cry!
[19:45] Gu
    It does damage
    equal to the greatest attack power
[19:47] Gu
    of any of my followers
    to a single follower owned by an opponent!
[19:51] Gu
    Right now, my Ignis Dragon has 5 attack!
[19:54] Gu
    So it does 5 damage to your Ice Golem!
[20:00] Gu
    No!
[20:03] Gu
    And I attack your leader
    with the Ignis Dragon!
[20:06] Gu
    Its attack power becomes 10!
[20:11] Gu
    Now... I win!
[20:18] Gu
    I-Impossible!
[20:25] Gi
    Hiro won!
[20:27] Gu
    Wow! You did it!
[20:37] Gu
    Yes!
[20:38] Gu
    You did it, Hiro!
[20:40] Gu
    My heart was pounding!
[20:42] Gi
    Mine, too!
[20:43] Gu
    You really turned it around!
[20:46] Gu
    Thanks!
[20:49] Gu
    That was a complete defeat, Hiro.
[20:52] Gu
    Thanks! You were really strong, Kai!
[20:56] Gu
    Thank you!
[20:58] Gu
    Hiro!
[21:00] Gu
    Sure...
[21:07] Gu
    I lost the game on turn 6.
[21:10] Gu
    I should've been watching for a Dragon Cry.
[21:13] Gu
    No, if I'd evolved the Clay Golem
    on turn 4,
[21:16] Gu
    and attacked your leader,
    I may have been able to end it there.
[21:19] Gu
    Sure, you were very sharp,
[21:21] Gu
    but it's fair to say
    I lost by being careless.
[21:24] Gu
    Hiro, I've gone from being a
    genius among geniuses to just a genius,
[21:30] Gu
    so I'll be going.
[21:38] Gu
    Next time I won't lose!
[21:44] Gu
    He really is weird.
[21:47] Gu
    Yeah.
[21:48] Gu
    But nobody who likes Shadowverse
    is a bad person!
[23:23] Gu
    Shadowverse Card Showcase!
[23:25] Gu
    Today we'll be covering the Chrono Witch!
SIGN    Chrono Witch
[23:27] Gu
    It brings back all your destroyed followers?
[23:29] Gu
    That's no fair!
[23:31] Gu
    But it costs 13?
[23:32] Gu
    How do you use it?
[23:33] Gu
    You have to be a genius among
    geniuses to use it!
[23:36] Gu
    You certainly couldn't.
[23:37] Gu
    What?
SIGN    Next Time
[23:39] Gu
    I want to be special, like Alice Kurobane!
[23:42] Gu
    That's what I thought,
    and then a mysterious girl appeared before me!

    Miss, if you beat me,
    you may learn the truth!

    Next time:
    Something Special!
