[00:07] Mai
    Hiya, Mai here, covering the action on the
    first day of the Shadowverse World Ranking!
[00:12] Mai
    And all eyes are on the battle in
    the Shadowverse Battle Stadium!
[00:15] Mai
    Shiro Kiriyama versus Seiya Kibakura!
     A battle between two pro players!
[00:21] Shiro
    Here I go! King of Vines attacks your leader!
[00:27] Seiya
    Ow!
[00:31] Seiya
    Nice, Shiro.
[00:34] Shiro
    Yeah, I'm taking this
    World Ranking seriously.
[00:38] Seiya
    Nice. Maybe I will, too.
[00:41] Seiya
    My turn. Draw!
[00:44] Seiya
    Amulet Card: Witch's Cauldron.
[00:47] Seiya
    It creates an Earth Sigil with Last Words.
[00:50] Seiya
    And now, let's end this.
[00:52] Seiya
    Master Mage Levi!
[00:58] Seiya
    Master Mage Levi's
    Earth Rite effect activates.
[01:13] Shiro
    Crap! My Ward!
[01:15] Seiya
    The curtain is about to fall.
[01:17] Seiya
    Magic Illusionist attacks your leader!
[01:26] Mai
    And that's it!
[01:30] Mai
    Seiya Kibakura
[01:31] Mai
    Seiya Kibakura
[01:32] Mai
    Seiya Kibakura
[01:32] Mai
    Seiya Kibakura
[01:38] Shiro
    That was a clean win.
[01:40] Shiro
    I lost because I didn't properly
    deal with Magic Illusionist.
[01:44] Seiya
    If King of Vines had come out one turn
    earlier, I would've been in trouble.
[01:50] Shiro
    Could you tell me the
    secret to your strength?
[01:54] Seiya
    My secret?
[01:57] Seiya
    Well, it's a secret!
[01:59] Shiro
    You've got me there.
[02:01] Mai
    A lovely warm handshake
    between Shiro and Seiya!
[02:04] Mai
    I'm so glad I got to
    commentate on this match!
[02:07] Mai
    Oh! We've just gotten word of a
    Shadowverse player who's won a ton of points!
[02:13] Omasu
    Oh, that Shadowverse player is...
[02:15] Omasu
    Amazing!
[02:17] Omasu
    Light Tenryu
[02:17] Omasu
    Dragoncraft
[02:17] Omasu
    A Rising Star Who Just Started Playing Shadowverse
[02:19] Omasu
    Light Tenryu
[02:19] Omasu
    Dragoncraft
[02:19] Omasu
    A Rising Star Who Just Started Playing Shadowverse
[02:23] Seiya
    He reminds me of someone.
[02:25] Seiya
    Maybe I'll go play him.

    Get Stronger?
[04:01] Seiya
    "Why Do You Get Stronger?"
[04:07] Light
    H-Hey, Draconir...
[04:09] Draconir
    What is it?
[04:10] Draconir
    It's crowded here, so you
    shouldn't talk to me too much.
[04:13] Light
    Sure, but... there's a
    weird vibe in here, right?
[04:17] Light
    It's like we're being watched.
[04:19] Draconir
    Yeah, it's weird.
[04:22] Light
    Sorry!
[04:24] Seiya
    You've got something on you.
[04:40] Seiya
    You're Light Tenryu, right?
[04:43] Light
    Y-Yeah. Wait... Huh?
[04:45] Seiya
    You're amazing! I'm hearing a ton about you.
[04:50] Seiya

    Dragoncraft
[04:52] Man
    H-Hey, that's Seiya Kibakura,
    the pro player, right?
[04:55] Woman
    I hope I can get his autograph.
[04:58] Light
    Pro player?
[04:59] Seiya
    Yes, I'm Seiya Kibakura. Nice to meet you.
[05:03] Seiya
    So, what magic trick did you use
    to go from zero points to 2,500?
[05:10] Light
    Um, I battled Vanessa
    of the Joubert sisters.
[05:18] Seiya
    I was hoping I'd get a chance
     to show off to my fans.
[05:21] Seiya
    I'm working hard at the World Ranking.
[05:24] Seiya
    Would you like to battle me?
[05:29] Light
    Yes, let's battle.
[05:35] Both
    Battle! Shadowverse!
[05:38] Light
    Draw!
[05:40] Light
    I play Ivory Dragon!
[05:44] Seiya
    So Dragoncraft, huh?
[05:46] Seiya
    I guess I can't lose this battle.
[05:49] Seiya
    Draw!
[05:52] Seiya
    I play a card that creates
    Earth Sigil with Last Words.
[05:58] Light
    I've never seen that card before,
[06:00] Light
    but that means you're using an
    Earth Rite Runecraft deck, right?
[06:05] Seiya
    Correct. Ever battled one before?
[06:08] Light
    Yup.
[06:09] Light
    And I lost last time,
    so this time, I want to win!
[06:13] Light
    I play Mushussu!
[06:16] Light
    I attack your leader with Ivory Dragon!
[06:20] Seiya
    You're all fired up.
[06:22] Light
    I am! I end my turn!
[06:24] Seiya
    My turn, then. Draw.
[06:28] Seiya
    I'll play Magic Illusionist, I guess.
[06:33] Light
    Another card I've never seen...
[06:35] Seiya
    It's got Last Words.
[06:38] Seiya
    I warn you, it's a little tough to handle.
[06:41] Seiya
    I end my turn.
[06:42] Light
    My turn. Draw!
[06:45] Draconir
    Light, don't worry about him
     being a pro player!
[06:48] Light
    Yeah, I'll play like I always do.
[06:50] Light
    I play Draconir, Knuckle Dragon!
[06:57] Light
    Next, I play Draconic Weapon!
[07:04] Light
    I attack your leader with
    Ivory Dragon and Mushussu!
[07:11] Light
    I end my turn!
[07:13] Seiya
    My turn. Draw.
[07:16] Seiya
    First, Magic Illusionist attacks Draconir.
[07:30] Light
    But you lost your follower, too.
[07:31] Seiya
    Yup, yup. But...
[07:35] Seiya
    Magic Illusionist's Last Words
     are an Earth Rite.
[07:38] Seiya
    It creates a Magic Illusionist.
[07:42] Light
    I-It revived?
[07:44] Seiya
    The Earth Sigil created by the
    Witch's Cauldron also triggers its Last Words,
[07:48] Seiya
    drawing me a card.
[07:50] Seiya
    So you see, I do have
     something up my sleeve.
[07:54] Seiya
    I'm not done yet.
[07:55] Seiya
    I play Witch's Cauldron
    and Silent Laboratory.
[08:01] Seiya
    Witch's Cauldron creates an
    Earth Sigil with Last Words.
[08:05] Seiya
    And Silent Laboratory creates an
    Earth Sigil plus a Clay Golem or a Zombie.
[08:11] Seiya
    This is a new kind of Earth Rite deck,
    boosted with World Ranking card packs.
[08:16] Light
    Wow. That's amazing!
[08:19] Light
    I play Roc!
[08:22] Light
    Armed Roc gains 1 defense and Rush!
[08:27] Light
    And then, I play Hammer Dragonewt!
[08:29] Light
    Armed Roc attacks Clay Golem!
[08:34] Light
    Its on-attack effect does
    2 damage to your leader!
[08:40] Light
    And then, I attack!
[08:47] Kid
    He's winning against a pro player!
[08:51] Seiya
    This is just like old times, you know.
[08:55] Light
    Old times?
[08:57] Seiya
    Yes. I once played a kid like you.
[09:01] Seiya
    He's now much, much stronger than I am.
[09:07] Seiya
    I'll never catch up to him,
    but I can't give up.
[09:12] Seiya
    Now, show them the power
    of the land! Grand Alchemist!
[09:17] Light
    A follower with Ward?
[09:19] Seiya
    Grand Alchemist's effect activates
    and creates an Earth Sigil.
[09:24] Seiya
    Evolve!
[09:26] Seiya
    Its on-evolve effect triggers.
[09:34] Seiya
    All cards in my hand with Earth Rite
     have their cost lowered by 1.
[09:38] Light
    What?!
[09:39] Seiya
    Magic Illusionist and the
    evolved Grand Alchemist attack.
[09:44] Seiya
    And Magic Illusionist's Last Words...
[09:55] Seiya
    Grand Alchemist's on-attack
    effect creates an Earth Sigil.
[10:00] Seiya
    And since the Earth Sigil that was destroyed
    was the one created by Witch's Cauldron,
[10:05] Seiya
    its Last Words activate and I draw a card.
[10:10] Light
    H-He's strong!
[10:13] Seiya
    Yup. I'm stronger than before.
[10:16] Seiya
    Because I have to be.
[10:21] Light
    Me, too.
[10:23] Light
    I want to be stronger, too!
[10:26] Seiya
    Good. Come on, then.
[10:28] Seiya
    I'll hit you with everything I've got.

    Magic Illusionist
[10:51] Seiya
    I play Master Mage Levi.
[10:55] Seiya
    Levi's Earth Rite effect activates,
[10:58] Seiya
    doing 3 damage to the enemy
    leader and all your followers.
[11:05] Seiya
    Next, I attack your leader with a Zombie.
[11:13] Seiya
    This is a real battle, 
    not an exhibition match.
[11:15] Seiya
    Good stuff, right?
[11:17] Light
    Yup! I'm honored to have the
    chance to battle a pro player!
[11:22] Light
    There it is!
[11:23] Light
    Spell Card: Draconic Smash!
[11:30] Light
    I do 3 damage to Levi and
    create a Draconic Weapon!
[11:42] Light
    Next, I play and arm a Dragon Warrior!
[11:50] Light
    Then, I evolve it,
    and its on-evolve effect triggers!
[11:58] Light
    First, it does 3 damage
    to one enemy follower,
[12:02] Light
    then 1 damage to all enemy followers.
[12:05] Light
    Then, Armed Dragon Warrior
    attacks your Scrap Golem!
[12:10] Seiya
    You're strong, huh?
[12:12] Light
    Yup! I've gotten stronger!
    And I'm still getting even stronger!
[12:17] Seiya
    Why do you get stronger?
[12:22] Light
    There's somebody I want to battle again.
[12:26] Light
    I want to know more about them.
[12:29] Light
    And...
[12:30] Light
    I want to battle the Seven
    Shadows, too. That's why.
[12:38] Light
    Is that funny?
[12:40] Seiya
    No, no. I'm not mocking you.
[12:45] Seiya
    You're just so honest about everything.
[12:49] Seiya
    And I'm jealous of your possibilities.
[12:53] Light
    Why do you want to get stronger?
[12:57] Light
    So in the World Ranking, are you...
[12:59] Seiya
    "Am I aiming to be in the top seven"?
[13:02] Seiya
    Hm, I don't see that happening.
[13:05] Seiya
    There are a lot of players better 
    than me, even if I am a pro.
[13:09] Light
    Then...
[13:11] Seiya
    I'm not sure, actually.
[13:13] Seiya
    Maybe there is no reason.
[13:18] Seiya
    Tricks and magic. Fiction is my realm.
[13:22] Seiya
    Come forth, Wizardess of Oz!
[13:28] Seiya
    Wizardess of Oz's effect activates,
[13:32] Seiya
    drawing me cards until
    I have five in my hand,
[13:35] Seiya
    and reducing the cost of all spells in
    my hand that don't possess Spell Boost to 1.
[13:40] Seiya
    I play Grand Summoning with a cost of 1.
[13:45] Seiya
    It creates one Guardian Golem,
    one Clay Golem, and one Scrap Golem.
[13:49] Seiya
    Next, I play Witch's Cauldron.
[13:54] Light
    Four followers in one turn?
[13:56] Seiya
    Wizardess of Oz has a drawback, though.
[14:18] Seiya
    Wizardess of Oz's Last Words
    destroys all the spell cards in my hand.
[14:24] Seiya
    Everything is fiction, you see.
[14:27] Seiya
    Now, the battle is nearing its end.
[14:30] Seiya
    Let's give it a grand finale!
[14:32] Seiya
    I end my turn.
[14:33] Light
    Here I go.
[14:35] Light
    My turn. Draw!
[14:38] Light
    The dragon's blade guides me to heaven!
[14:43] Light
    Howl! Laevateinn Dragon!
[14:48] Seiya
    Your best card?
[14:50] Light
    Yes!
[14:50] Light
    Laevateinn Dragon has Rush,
    and attacks Scrap Golem!
[14:58] Light
    Laevateinn Dragon's on-attack
    effect restores 2 PP!
[15:04] Light
    I play the spell card, Dragon Counsel!
[15:07] Light
    I discard a random card with the lowest
    cost in my hand, and draw three cards.
[15:11] Seiya
    You used a draw effect this turn, huh?
     But you can't clear my board, can you?
[15:15] Light
    No, Laevateinn Dragon can!
[15:18] Light
    Laevateinn Dragon, evolve!
[15:21] Light
    Its on-evolve effect activates,
[15:23] Light
    destroying a Draconic Weapon
    and I make my choice!
[15:48] Light
    The dragon's power is a
    breath that rends and tears!
[15:53] Light
    Laevateinn Dragon, Blast Form!
[15:58] Seiya
    It transformed?
[16:00] Light
    I end my turn and
    Blast Form's effect activates.
[16:05] Light
    It does 1 damage to every enemy follower
[16:08] Light
    for every armed follower
    destroyed during this game.
[16:12] Light
    And if that number is five or greater,
    it does 5 damage to your leader!
[16:19] Light
    Five Armed Followers have been
    destroyed during this battle.
[16:22] Light
    So first, it does 5 damage
    to all your followers!
[16:32] Light
    Then, it does 5 damage to your leader as well!
[16:40] Light
    Well?
[16:42] Seiya
    Well, that's not good.
[16:45] Seiya
    I don't have any spell cards in my hand,
[16:47] Seiya
    so I won't lose any because
    of Wizardess of Oz's effect.
[16:51] Seiya
    Blast Form, huh? That's a tough one.
     My guess was wrong.
[16:56] Light
    Your guess?
[16:57] Seiya
    Don't worry about it. You'll find out soon.
[17:00] Seiya
    Devour everything in your path,
     Pursuer Golem!
[17:12] Light
    Another legendary follower?
[17:14] Seiya
    Pursuer Golem's effect activates,
    destroying an enemy follower.
[17:25] Seiya
    And then, its second effect activates.
[17:28] Seiya
    Earth Rite.
[17:35] Seiya
    Each time an enemy follower is
    destroyed, it gains its effects.
[17:39] Light
    I-It stole its effects?
[17:42] Seiya
    Correct.
[17:43] Seiya
    I was planning on taking a
    more powerful effect, though.
[17:48] Seiya
    Blast Form takes into account how many
    Armed followers have been destroyed,
[17:53] Seiya
    but I haven't lost any Armed followers
    this game, which means it's useless.
[17:58] Light
    It's still an incredible effect.
[18:00] Seiya
    Yup.
[18:02] Seiya
    But there was somebody
    I couldn't beat, even with it.
[18:06] Seiya
    That's why I changed.
[18:09] Seiya
    Now, it's your turn.
[18:11] Seiya
    Your best card is gone. What will you do?
[18:14] Light
    I'll do what I can!
    My Shadowverse means not giving up!
[18:18] Light
    Dual Rage
[18:30] Light
    I can't use it yet?
[18:34] Light
    Then, I'll use this!
[18:40] Light
    Elegant Dragonfolk has Storm.
    It attacks Pursuer Golem!
[18:46] Seiya
    Fight back, Pursuer Golem!
[18:51] Seiya
    Pursuer Golem has 7 defense,
    and Elegant Dragonfolk has 2 attack.
[18:57] Seiya
    So I win and you lose your follower.
[18:59] Light
    No, that's wrong!
[19:01] Seiya
    What?
[19:02] Light
    When Elegant Dragonfolk fights a follower
    with 4 or more defense, it gets Bane.
[19:09] Light
    They both die.
[19:13] Light
    I end my turn.
[19:15] Light
    I defeated your best card.
[19:19] Seiya
    Nice. That's great.
[19:21] Seiya
    I've decided I want to remember
    your name, Light Tenryu.
[19:25] Seiya
    But let me correct one thing you've said.
[19:30] Seiya
    Pursuer Golem isn't my best card anymore.
[19:35] Seiya
    I'm a new me and I have a new best card.
[19:38] Seiya
    Annihilate everything, Rejector Golem!
[20:02] Light
    Wh-What? But you didn't play any cards.
[20:06] Seiya
    That's Rejector Golem's effect.
[20:08] Seiya
    When a follower with Earth Rite and a cost
    of 7 or higher is destroyed the turn before,
[20:17] Seiya
    Rejector Golem can be played directly
    from my deck at the start of the turn.
[20:23] Light
    F-From your deck?!
[20:25] Seiya
    Invocation.
[20:27] Seiya
    It's a new effect.
    You might want to remember it.
[20:31] Seiya
    Rejector Golem's effect activates.
[20:34] Seiya
    When invoked, if I have no cards in play,
[20:37] Seiya
    it also creates an Earth Sigil.
[20:40] Seiya
    Rejector Golem has Storm!
[20:43] Seiya
    It attacks your leader,
[20:45] Seiya
    and its on-attack effect triggers,
[20:48] Seiya
    doing 2 damage to your leader
    and all of your followers!
[20:56] Seiya
    Rejector Golem!
[21:10] Light
    B-But I can still...
[21:11] Seiya
    Earth Rite.
[21:16] Seiya
    Rejector Golem gets
    one additional chance to attack.
[21:26] Light
    A-A double attack?
[21:29] Seiya
    This is my Shadowverse
    now that I'm stronger.
[21:52] Passerby
    Wow!
[21:57] Draconir
    Light, are you okay?
[21:59] Light
    Yeah, I'm fine.
[22:06] Seiya
    I guess I win today.
[22:08] Light
    Yeah. It wasn't even close.
[22:11] Seiya
    There's a little more time
    before the first day ends.
[22:15] Seiya
    What will you do?
[22:17] Light
    I'm going to enjoy battling
    until the final minutes of it.
[22:20] Seiya
    I see.
[22:21] Seiya
    The secret of your strength
    is your optimism, isn't it?
[22:27] Seiya
    I look forward to the day
    when we will battle again.
[22:32] Light
    Right! Next time,
    I'll be able to use that card!

[22:54] Light
    Time to head home, I guess.
[23:01] Draconir
    He was strong, wasn't he, Light?
[23:03] Light
    Yes.
[23:04] Light
    The World Ranking tournament
    is great. I got to fight a pro.
[23:08] Light
    And now I know where I can improve.
[23:13] Light
    Dual Rage
[23:20] Light
    Next time, I'll...
[23:24] Light
    Shadowverse Card Showcase!
[23:24] Light
    Shadowverse 
    Card Showcase
[23:26] Draconir
    Today's card is Rejector Golem.
    Seiya Kibakura's best card!
