The Plot of the Genius
Among Geniuses
[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!
[23:46] Gu
Miss, if you beat me,
you may learn the truth!
[23:49] Gu
Next time:
Something Special!
SIGN Episode 4 Something Special!
[23:51] Gu
Battle! Shadowverse!
