[00:06] (Flashback) Mikado
    Okay! I attack with Gabriel!
[00:11] (Flashback) Dad
    Nice, Mikado.
[00:12] (Flashback) Dad
    But, it'll take more than that!
[00:15] (Flashback) Dad
    I play Gilgamesh with Storm.
[00:20] (Flashback) Dad
    I attack your leader!
[00:36] (Flashback) Mikado
    You're really strong, Dad!
[00:40] (Flashback) Dad
    Any time you want to practice,
     I'll play you, Mikado.
[00:43] (Flashback) Mikado
    I wanna be like you someday, Dad.
[00:46] (Flashback) Mikado
    Like you, Dad...
[00:49] (Flashback) Mikado
    Dad?
[00:58] (Flashback) Mikado
    Huh?
[01:08] (Flashback) Mikado
    I'm sorry. I messed up.
[01:20] Mikado
    It's been a while since I had that dream.
[01:26] Mikado
    Now then...
[01:33] Mikado
    I think it's about time.
[01:37] Mikado
    Yup.
[01:40] Light
    Mikado Shirogane!
[01:42] Mikado
    What is it, members of Seventh Flame?
[01:45] Mikado
    No, Light Tenryu.
[01:48] Light
    Battle me!
[01:50] Mikado
    Okay, sure.
[01:53] Mikado
    I'll play with you.

    Sniff! Sniff! Sniff!
[03:59] (Flashback) Light
    So I was thinking... Could you use
    Laevateinn Dragon like this?

[04:27] (Flashback) Subaru
    I saw that coming.
[04:28] (Flashback) Light
    You did?
[04:29] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Yeah, I mean...
[04:32] (Flashback) Haruma
    Mikado Shirogane just laughed!
[04:36] (Flashback) Itsuki
    It's partly Chairman Shirogane's fault
    that Haruma was acting like that.
[04:42] (Flashback) Tsubasa
    So you think Mikado's to blame?
[04:46] (Flashback) Tsubasa
    No way. The fault lies
    with Haruma Hazeura.
[04:50] (Flashback) Light
    I'm not looking to point fingers.
[04:53] (Flashback) Light
    I just want to know more about him.
[04:55] (Flashback) Draconir
    Sheesh. That's all you ever say.
[04:59] (Flashback) Ren
    But playing Shadowverse helps
    you understand each other, right?
[05:04] (Flashback) Tsubasa
    Maybe.
[05:05] (Flashback) Subaru
    So, Light, think you can win?
[05:09] (Flashback) Light
    No idea.
[05:10] (Flashback) Subaru
    Come on, dude.
[05:11] (Flashback) Light
    But I'm gonna give it my absolute best!
[05:19] (Flashback) Subaru
    Okay. We can come cheer you on.
[05:22] (Flashback) Ren
    Right? Right?
[05:24] (Flashback) Ren
    We can all go...
[05:25] (Flashback) Ren
    Oh, wait, Shion...
[05:27] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Yeah, Gentleman...
[05:28] (Flashback) Itsuki
    I mean, Otosaka isn't here, true.
[05:32] (Flashback) Subaru
    About now, Gentleman usually shows up and
     says, "I'll explain Mikado Shirogane's deck!"
[05:41] (Flashback) Light
    Is she sick?
[05:43] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Maybe.
[05:45] (Flashback) Tsubasa
    I don't think so.
[05:47] (Flashback) Subaru
    You don't?
[05:48] (Flashback) Tsubasa
    I can guess what's up.
[05:50] (Flashback) Tsubasa
    She's probably right here.
[05:53] (Flashback) Shion
    I can't do it. It's impossible.
    I'll just go home.
[05:57] (Flashback) Tsubasa
    See?
[06:00] (Flashback) Shion
    Impossible. Totally impossible.
[06:03] (Flashback) Tsubasa
    No, it isn't.
[06:08] (Flashback) Tsubasa
    Why aren't you coming in?
[06:09] (Flashback) Shion
    I-It's obvious why not! I-I-I haven't
    even been to this school in a long time.
[06:13] (Flashback) Shion
    And I've never been in the club room.
[06:16] (Flashback) Shion
    Plus, it's all awkward after
    we first met wearing swimsuits...
[06:21] (Flashback) Shion
    I'm going home!
[06:24] (Flashback) Shion
    Let go!
[06:28] (Flashback) Tsubasa
    That's everyone.
[06:30] (Flashback) Subaru
    You're pretty forceful, Senpai.
[06:34] (Flashback) Subaru
    Hey, Gentleman.
[06:36] (Flashback) Subaru
    I'm amazed they let you in
    without a school uniform on.
[06:40] (Flashback) Shion
    I-I know how to shut off the cameras.
[06:43] (Flashback) Ren
    Yup! She does a little hacking!
[06:45] (Flashback) Ren
    It's not hacking!
    I just kind of work my way in...
[06:52] (Flashback) Subaru
    Light and the chairman are about
    to do battle, so we're going to watch.
[06:58] (Flashback) Subaru
    Wanna come with?
[07:02] (Flashback) Subaru
    If you can't, use your rabbit instead.
[07:05] (Flashback) Subaru
    Rabbit man? Rabbit suit? I don't know.
[07:09] (Flashback) Shion
    Rabbit Gentleman.
[07:10] (Flashback) Subaru
    Is that right?
[07:12] (Flashback) Shion
    I'll go like this today.
[07:17] (Flashback) Ren
    Let's go, Shion!
[07:26] (Flashback) Light
    Thanks.
[07:27] (Flashback) Light
    If you're all cheering me on, I can't lose.
[07:30] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Light...
[07:32] (Flashback) Itsuki
    I'm sure he's strong.
[07:34] (Flashback) Light
    Yeah. I bet he is.
[07:36] (Flashback) Itsuki
    And that's not all.
[07:37] (Flashback) Itsuki
    After what he did to Haruma...
[07:40] (Flashback) Itsuki
    We don't know what he's capable of.
[07:44] (Flashback) Itsuki
    Be careful.
[07:45] (Flashback) Light
    I will. I'll do my best
    so we can understand each other.
[07:52] (Flashback) Subaru
    All right. Let's get going.
[07:55] (Flashback) All
    Yeah!
[07:57] Subaru
    I don't like that guy, y'know.
     Kick his butt, Light.
[08:00] Itsuki
    He was even able to get closer to Haruma.
[08:03] (Flashback) Light
    I'm not there to kick his butt.
    I'm there to understand him.
[08:04] Itsuki
    Light will be fine, right?
[08:06] (Flashback) Ren
    Speak with your fists, yeah?
[08:13] Mikado
    You guys in Seventh Flame
    are such good friends.
[08:16] Light
    Yes, we're all connected
    by Shadowverse. And I...
[08:20] Mikado
    You want to connect with me, too?
[08:24] Mikado
    Oh, sorry.
[08:30] Mikado
    Understand. Know. Analyze. Grasp. Be aware.
     Whatever word you want to use...
[08:38] Mikado
    I'll let you pick.
[08:40] Mikado
    As a reward for beating Haruma Hazeura,
    I'll play you as much as you like.
[08:46] Light
    Okay. Thank you!
[08:52] Mikado
    Battle! Shadowverse!

[09:33] Light
    My turn! Draw!
[09:37] Light
    I play the amulet card Draconic Weapon.
[09:43] Light
    I end my turn.
[09:45] Mikado
    Okay. Draw.
[09:49] Mikado
    I play Darkness Angel.
[09:53] Light
    A follower with Last Words?
[09:55] Mikado
    Yup. Be careful.
[09:58] Mikado
    I end my turn.
[09:59] Light
    Then, it's my turn. Draw!
[10:03] Light
    I play Luxfang Kit!
[10:07] Light
    Draconic Weapon's effect activates!
[10:10] Light
    When an unarmed Dragon
    follower enters play,
[10:13] Light
    the follower is armed and gains 1 defense!
[10:16] Mikado
    That's a strong follower!
     It's a draw source, too.
[10:20] Mikado
    Armed Dragon is a pretty good deck.
[10:23] Mikado
    I play Tainted Angel Soldier.
[10:29] Mikado
    Tainted Angel Soldier's effect activates.
[10:31] Mikado
    It adds the spell card
    Inverting Wings to my hand.
[10:37] Mikado
    You started out as a completely ordinary
    beginner, but you beat Haruma Hazeura.
[10:56] Mikado
    Either I had too high an opinion of him,
     or too low an opinion of you. Which is it?
[11:01] Light
    Haruma was strong.
[11:03] Light
    It was a good battle, and really close.
[11:08] Light
    I want to have the same kind
    of battle with you, Mikado!
[11:13] Light
    Armed Kit's on-attack effect activates,
     drawing me two cards!
[11:21] Light
    I play Griffon Knight.
[11:24] Light
    Its effect activates...
[11:28] Light
    doing 2 damage to an enemy follower.
[11:31] Light
    Then I discard a random card with
     the lowest cost in my hand.
[11:36] Mikado
    Nice.
[11:37] Light
    Yes. I'm in top form.
[11:40] Light
    I end my turn!
[11:41] Mikado
    Good. That's what I wanted.
[11:45] Mikado
    I need you to use your full strength.
[11:52] Mikado
    Shield Angel. It's got Ward.
[11:55] Tsubasa
    Mikado's calmer than I thought.
[11:59] Itsuki
    Yes. This isn't what I was expecting.
[12:03] Subaru
    It's strange, though.
[12:05] Ren
    What is?
[12:06] Subaru
    The class of the cards he's playing.
[12:09] Subaru
    He's played three Neutrals in a row.
[12:13] Itsuki
    Yeah, you're right.
[12:14] Ren
    Luck of the draw? No, probably not.
[12:18] Shion
    Neutral class cards can go in any deck,
     but they're less powerful.
[12:26] Shion
    I've never heard of a deck built
    primarily from Neutral class cards.
[12:30] Subaru
    If you haven't heard of it,
    it must be really rare.
[12:33] Shion
    I once went looking for Mikado's battles,
    but all the data was erased.
[12:39] Light
    Seriously? It'll work out, though.
     Our idiot can win this.
[12:44] Subaru
    Yeah, you're right.
[12:48] Light
    My turn. Draw!
[12:51] Light
    I play a Lance Lizard with Rush!
[12:55] Light
    Lance Lizard attacks your Shield Angel!
[13:02] Light
    And then, Lance Lizard's
    on-attack effect activates,
[13:06] Light
    creating a Draconic Weapon
    if I don't have one in play.
[13:10] Light
    And I'm not done yet!
[13:12] Light
    I attack your leader with
    Armed Kit and Griffon Knight!
[13:16] Light
    And Armed Kit's effect activates,
     drawing me two cards!
[13:22] Mikado
    Yes, very good.
[13:24] Mikado
    You've avoided Darkness Angel
     and her Last Words,
[13:26] Mikado
    and gone straight for the
    leader's defense. That's the right call.
[13:30] Light
    It is? Thanks!
[13:32] Mikado
    But Shadowverse would be easy if the
    right calls always won you the game.
[13:36] Mikado
    I don't think you know what it takes
    to win in Shadowverse. So I'll teach you.
[13:44] Mikado
    I choose and play the
    spell card Inverting Wings.
[13:56] Mikado
    The thing you need to
    win at Shadowverse is...
[14:11] Mikado
    Talent.
[14:15] Mikado
    Gather, fallen ones.
[14:17] Mikado
    I play Dark Angel of the Word.
[14:27] Light
    Wh-What's that?
[14:29] Mikado
    A Fallen follower.
[14:31] Mikado
    Inverting Wings turns one of the followers
    in my hand into a Fallen follower.
[14:38] Mikado
    I guess it's kind of like your Armed deck?
[14:41] Mikado
    Fallen followers gain new abilities.
[14:45] Mikado
    Now, show him your power.
[14:48] Mikado
    Dark Angel of the Word's effect activates,
[14:53] Mikado
    doing 1 damage to the enemy leader
     and all of their followers.
[14:58] Mikado
    Next, I evolve it.
[15:06] Mikado
    Attack Armed Kit.
[15:11] Mikado
    And then, Darkness Angel
    attacks Lance Lizard.
[15:15] Mikado
    Her Last Words add an
    Inverting Wings to my hand.
[15:20] Mikado
    I play another Darkness Angel.
[15:25] Mikado
    Its effect activates. If a Fallen
    follower is in play, it evolves.
[15:33] Mikado
    It attacks Griffon Knight.
[15:40] Itsuki
    W-Wow.
[15:42] Itsuki
    I didn't know you could make a deck
    like that with Neutral class cards.
[15:45] Subaru
    I guess that's how he kicked Haruma's butt.
[15:49] Ren
    But! But! Light's strong, too!
[15:52] Ren
    You can still win this, Light!
[15:56] Mikado
    Neat. You've got buddies.
[15:58] Light
    I'm glad to have them. They give me strength.
[16:01] Mikado
    My turn's over.
[16:04] Light
    Yes. Got it.
[16:06] Light
    My turn! Draw!
[16:09] Light
    I play Trinity Dragon!
[16:13] Light
    Draconic Weapon's effect activates,
    arming it and increasing its defense by 1!
[16:21] Light
    Next, I play Draconir, Knuckle Dragon.
[16:25] Light
    Its effect adds a Draconic Weapon to my hand.
[16:30] Draconir
    Light, let's turn this around.
[16:33] Light
    Yup, that's the plan.
[16:35] Light
    I evolve Draconir!
[16:38] Light
    Draconir's on-evolve effect activates!
[16:43] Light
    If I have an Armed follower in play,
[16:46] Light
    it does 3 damage to an enemy follower.
[16:50] Light
    And then, Draconir attacks Darkness Angel.
[16:55] Mikado
    Last Words. I add an
    Inverting Wings card to my hand.
[16:59] Light
    Okay! I've got the upper hand!
[17:01] Ren
    Aw, yeah!
[17:02] Tsubasa
    Well done.
[17:03] Subaru
    Nice work, Light!
[17:05] Tsubasa
    You can win this!
[17:05] Light
    Yeah. Thanks, guys.
[17:13] Light
    What?
[17:15] Light
    Armed Trinity Dragon's
    supposed to be unattackable.
[17:19] Mikado
    But effects can target it, right?
[17:21] Mikado
    Black Apostle's effect does
    3 damage to an enemy follower.
[17:27] Mikado
    And each time it destroys an enemy follower,
    it adds an Inverting Wings card to my hand.
[17:33] Light
    Armed Trinity Dragon's effect activates!
[17:36] Light
    Each time an opponent targets it with an effect,
     it does 2 damage to their leader!
[17:50] Mikado
    I choose and play the
    spell card Inverting Wings.
[17:55] Mikado
    I transform a follower in my
    hand into a Fallen follower.
[18:00] Mikado
    I play Dark Lyrial.
[18:04] Mikado
    Dark Lyrial's effect activates, giving Rush
    to a Neutral follower with 5 cost or less,
[18:11] Mikado
    and raising their attack and defense by 1.
[18:15] Light
    Oh, no. He'll sacrifice that
    follower to take down Draconir.
[18:18] Mikado
    Yup. That's exactly what I'll do.
[18:21] Mikado
    But I'm going beyond that.
[18:26] Light
    Inverting Wings? Another Fallen follower?
[18:29] Mikado
    Nope.
[18:30] Mikado
    Inverting Wings is a choice card.
[18:32] Mikado
    You can choose one of multiple effects.
[18:38] Mikado
    Inverting Wings has two effects.
[18:40] Mikado
    One is the Fallen choice, which converts
    a follower to a Fallen follower.
[18:45] Mikado
    The other is...
[18:47] Mikado
    The Angel Choice.
[18:49] Mikado
    It converts a Fallen follower
    to their original form,
[18:55] Mikado
    and increases their
     attack and defense by 2.
[18:58] Light
    Wh-What?
[19:00] Mikado
    I evolve Lyrial,
    and her on-evolve effect triggers.
[19:15] Mikado
    It does 1 damage to an enemy follower.
[19:21] Mikado
    Black Apostle's effect activates,
[19:23] Mikado
    putting an Inverting Wings card into my hand
    each time an enemy follower is destroyed.
[19:28] Light
    D-Draconir...
[19:33] Mikado
    You look so sad!
[19:35] Mikado
    You're counting not just on
    your friends, but your cards, too!
[19:38] Mikado
    That's perfect!
[19:40] Light
    What does that mean?
[19:42] Mikado
    Haruma Hazeura said that people
    gang up because they're weak, right?
[19:47] Mikado
    It's true.
[19:48] Mikado
    You're weak, so you rely on something.
[19:51] Light
    You have something you rely on, right?
[19:54] Mikado
    Hm? Why?
[19:56] Light
    You're asking why?
    Well, your cards, your comrades...
[19:59] Light
    And your family, too.
[20:02] Mikado
    Well, cards are just tools,
    and I don't have any comrades.
[20:05] Mikado
    "Family"?
[20:07] Mikado
    Oh, you mean parents.
[20:09] Mikado
    Sure, that's true.
[20:11] Mikado
    My dad's the head of the
    Shirogane clan. He's super important.
[20:16] Mikado
    He taught me Shadowverse.
[20:20] Mikado
    It was fun, playing Shadowverse with him.
[20:23] Mikado
    Lots of fun.
[20:35] Mikado
    I was going easy on him, and he would
    still be so proud when he won!
[20:40] Mikado
    It was so fun laughing at him!
[20:44] Mikado
    The day after he taught me,
    I could already beat him.
[20:50] Mikado
    But I'd feel bad if I won, right?
[20:52] Mikado
    So I kept losing deliberately.
[20:55] Mikado
    But one day, I messed up a little and won.
[21:00] Mikado
    The way he freaked out...
[21:05] Mikado
    He was so useless.
[21:07] Mikado
    I couldn't help but laugh!
[21:09] Mikado
    I beat him again and again after that.
[21:13] Mikado
    And then...
[21:16] Mikado
    And then...
[21:18] Mikado
    He begged me to forgive him!
[21:22] Mikado
    He got down on his knees in
    front of his own son and begged!
[21:29] Subaru
    Is he seriously our age?
[21:31] Shion
    H-He sounds crazy...
[21:35] Mikado
    You might think this is
    a battle. But I don't.
[21:43] Mikado
    To me, it's all a game.
[21:46] Mikado
    But just be careful, okay?
[21:48] Mikado
    Because everyone who
    plays me ends up broken.
