    Kai and the Forbidden Magic
[00:09] ---
    That's way too tough!
[00:12] ---
    Nobody could solve that problem!
[00:26] ---
    A hundred points! No, a thousand points!
[00:31] ---
    It's only natural.
[00:33] ---
    Yes, it's simple.
[00:36] ---
    I'm a genius among geniuses. I'm perfect.
[00:40] ---
    At academics.
[00:44] ---
    Winner!
[00:46] ---
    At sports!
[00:50] ---
    At Shadowverse!
[00:53] ---
    Yes!
[00:54] ---
    I'm perfect at everything!
[01:04] ---
    Another perfect day.
[01:07] ---
    But...
[01:08] ---
    Kai.
[01:11] ---
    Nicely done. I'm impressed.
[01:13] ---
    You, too.
    How many in a row did you win today?
[01:16] ---
    In a row?
[01:18] ---
    That's funny.
[01:19] ---
    I won some and lost some.
    I'm not as good as you.
[01:24] ---
    Brother!
[01:31] ---
    That's right, Luca.
[01:33] ---
    You could never be my rival.
[01:36] ---
    "Never be my rival"?
[01:39] ---
    That's right, Kai.
[01:42] ---
    Bye.
[01:45] ---
    There's no need to think
    about this matter any further.
[01:49] ---
    It's a waste of my genius.
[01:58] ---
    Awaken.
[02:03] ---
    There is an awakening deep within you.
[02:06] ---
    You have noticed that you are empty.
[02:09] ---
    Y-You're not making sense.
[02:12] ---
    So awaken...
[02:30] ---
    Where am I?
[02:31] ---
    Please.
[02:33] ---
    This voice.
[02:35] ---
    Defeat the witch.
[02:37] ---
    "Witch"?
[02:39] ---
    What are you talking about?
[02:41] ---
    Please.
[02:44] ---
    Is this a dream?
[02:47] ---
    Some dreams are reflections
    of what you've experienced.
[02:51] ---
    And some are reflections of your desires.
[02:54] ---
    But I don't recall experiencing
     anything like this.
[02:58] ---
    And my desire is something more like...
[03:10] ---
    Burn it all!
[03:11] ---
    Find the witch!
[03:14] ---
    A-Arson?
[03:16] ---
    No way! Wait!
[03:19] ---
    Um... Rear exit!
[03:21] ---
    Which way is it?
[03:21] ---
    Rear exit?
[03:22] ---
    Which way?
[03:23] ---
    Who are you?
[03:25] ---
    You're with the witch, aren't you?
[03:27] ---
    You won't get away!
[03:28] ---
    A blade at the end of a long pole.
[03:30] ---
    In other words, a spear!
[03:32] ---
    Where is the witch?
[03:34] ---
    Well, um...
[03:36] ---
    Think! Think, Kai Ijuin!
[03:39] ---
    You're a genius.
    You should be able to think of something.
[03:41] ---
    Answer us!
[03:42] ---
    Hiding won't help you!
[03:44] ---
    It's no good! I can't think of anything!
[03:46] ---
    Somebody... Somebody help me!
[03:50] ---
    I don't know who you are, but...
[03:53] ---
    It'd be a shame if you were wrongfully imprisoned
    when you're innocent.
[04:08] ---
    This way.
[04:12] ---
    Don't let them get away! Go!
[04:24] ---
    Wh-Where are we?
[04:26] ---
    A hideout, you could say.
[04:32] ---
    I'm Isabelle.
[04:34] ---
    Who are you?
[04:35] ---
    Kai Ijuin.
[04:36] ---
    "Kai Ijuin"? That's a long name.
[04:39] ---
    J-Just call me Kai.
[04:42] ---
    So what were you doing in my lab?
[04:46] ---
    I just woke up there.
[04:48] ---
    Would you believe that?
[04:51] ---
    Yes. I believe it.
[04:53] ---
    Because you and Kazuki
    aren't from this world, right?
[04:58] ---
    H-How do you know Kazuki's name?
[05:01] ---
    He saved me.
[05:02] ---
    He's a good kid.
[05:05] ---
    It's a shame I let him get away.
[05:12] ---
    Wh-What are you doing?
[05:14] ---
    Nothing that bad will happen to you.
[05:16] ---
    So help me.
[05:18] ---
    Help you?
[05:19] ---
    I need you to explore the forbidden magic.
[05:27] ---
    So you're the witch.
[05:30] ---
    Yes, that's what they call me.
[05:40] ---
    What is this?
SIGN    Chrono Witch
[05:45] ---
    Magic?
[05:46] ---
    No, it's not.
[05:48] ---
    I'm even more interested now.
[05:52] ---
    I don't know what's going on here,
[05:54] ---
    but if you're the witch,
     I must defeat you.
[06:00] ---
    I see.
[06:01] ---
    Try it.
[06:02] ---
    Battle! Shadowverse!
[06:05] ---
    My turn. Draw!
[06:09] ---
    Spell Card: Insight!
[06:11] ---
    I draw one card!
[06:16] ---
    I end my turn.
[06:17] ---
    Your turn.
[06:20] ---
    My turn.
[06:22] ---
    I play a four elements card, Aquatic Wisdom.
[06:28] ---
    I draw a card.
[06:30] ---
    The same power as Insight?
[06:32] ---
    No, that doesn't make sense.
[06:34] ---
    You'll see soon.
[06:36] ---
    I end my turn.
[06:39] ---
    Spell Card: Conjure Golem!
[06:42] ---
    I create a Clay Golem.
[06:46] ---
    I understand.
[06:47] ---
    Wh-What?
[06:49] ---
    I end my turn.
[06:50] ---
    My turn.
[06:52] ---
    I play a four elements card, Mass Summoning!
[06:56] ---
    I summon a Clay Golem!
[06:59] ---
    The same card again?
[07:00] ---
    No. You said yourself
    that didn't make sense.
[07:06] ---
    Mass Summoning's second effect activates.
[07:09] ---
    If I've played another four elements spell
     in this battle,
[07:12] ---
    it also creates a Scrap Golem!
[07:17] ---
    So this is your combo?
[07:20] ---
    Ignorance creates vulnerabilities.
[07:22] ---
    That's the most basic element of magic.
[07:24] ---
    Remember that.
[07:25] ---
    You say you know me?
[07:28] ---
    Yes.
[07:29] ---
    When you played Insight on your first turn,
    you looked at your hand.
[07:34] ---
    This means you were checking
    the Spellboost your hand had.
[07:38] ---
    When you cast that Clay Golem,
    you didn't look at it when it came into play.
[07:44] ---
    As long as you can use your spell cards,
[07:46] ---
    you don't care what's on the board, right?
[07:49] ---
    And lastly, that look on your face...
[07:52] ---
    proves that what I just said was right.
[07:56] ---
    Your deck uses a lot of Spellboosts.
[07:59] ---
    It's not that hard to guess, though.
[08:03] ---
    Analysis is another basic part of magic.
[08:05] ---
    Analyzing me doesn't make me weaker.
[08:16] ---
    I attack Clay Golem with Spectral Wizard,
[08:18] ---
    and my other followers attack your leader!
[08:30] ---
    I end my turn.
[08:32] ---
    Your defense is already at 10.
[08:34] ---
    You're at half!
[08:38] ---
    That's right.
[08:39] ---
    But it's not a problem.
[08:41] ---
    I play a four elements spell card, Mighty Gust!
[08:49] ---
    I return a random enemy follower
    with a cost of 3 or less to your hand.
[08:55] ---
    And if I've played a four elements card
    in this battle,
[08:58] ---
    I return another as well!
[09:00] ---
    And then I play Conjure Golem!
[09:04] ---
    I create a Clay Golem!
[09:06] ---
    I evolve Clay Golem...
[09:12] ---
    and attack your Spectral Wizard!
[09:17] ---
    She turned it around!
[09:18] ---
    "Turned it around," huh?
[09:21] ---
    Well, that's not how I see it.
[09:23] ---
    I knew this would happen from the start.
[09:27] ---
    Don't worry.
[09:29] ---
    I won't let you go to waste.
[09:32] ---
    How do you know that much about me?
[09:36] ---
    I have a goal.
[09:38] ---
    And I'll do whatever it takes to get there.
[09:41] ---
    Do you have a goal like that?
[09:46] ---
    I don't.
[09:48] ---
    But I can't lose this battle!
[09:52] ---
    I know I can't lose it!
SIGN    Guardian Golem
SIGN    Daria, Dimensional Witch
[10:06] ---
    Here I go!
[10:07] ---
    I play Witchette Emmylou!
[10:11] ---
    Cross the dimensions and answer my call!
    Daria, Dimensional Witch!
[10:22] ---
    You used Spellboost
    to lower her cost, huh?
[10:26] ---
    Correct.
[10:27] ---
    Daria's effect activates.
[10:32] ---
    I banish my hand and draw five cards!
[10:36] ---
    Okay, this spell card is powerful.
[10:39] ---
    I was lucky to draw it this turn.
[10:42] ---
    And I Spellboost all spell cards
    in my hand five times!
[10:48] ---
    A powerful card, fitting for a legendary.
[10:51] ---
    Well? Surprised?
[10:55] ---
    You can't even speak, huh?
[10:58] ---
    But my turn is just beginning!
[11:01] ---
    Spell Card: Secrets of Erasmus!
[11:04] ---
    It does 5 damage to a random follower!
[11:08] ---
    And then I play Summon Snow,
    a card that was Spellboosted by Daria!
[11:17] ---
    I create three Snowmen!
[11:19] ---
    This is what it means
    to be a genius among geniuses.
[11:23] ---
    I end my turn.
[11:24] ---
    True, you're powerful.
[11:27] ---
    But no "genius among geniuses."
[11:30] ---
    Draw.
[11:32] ---
    I play the spell card Twin Guardians,
[11:35] ---
    which creates two Guardian Golems.
[11:37] ---
    Spell Card: Fiery Embrace.
[11:40] ---
    I destroy one enemy follower!
[11:43] ---
    I evolve Guardian Golem
[11:47] ---
    and destroy Witchette Emmylou.
[11:50] ---
    What will you do now, genius among geniuses?
[11:53] ---
    This isn't that bad a situation.
[11:57] ---
    First, I attack your Guardian Golem
    with three Snowmen!
[12:02] ---
    And then I play a Magicat with Rush!
[12:07] ---
    I attack Guardian Golem!
[12:12] ---
    Guardian Golem has 3 defense.
[12:14] ---
    Can your follower's 1 attack defeat it?
[12:17] ---
    No.
[12:19] ---
    But I can remove it.
[12:22] ---
    Magicat's on-attack effect activates
[12:25] ---
    and returns the follower it attacks
    to your hand.
[12:28] ---
    And then I play a Flame Destroyer,
    with its cost lowered by Spellboost!
[12:34] ---
    Nice.
[12:36] ---
    Of course.
[12:37] ---
    I'm a genius among geniuses.
[12:38] ---
    I've never been defeated.
[12:49] ---
    What's wrong?
[12:51] ---
    I end my turn.
[12:53] ---
    You feel something too, don't you?
[12:56] ---
    You, too?
[12:58] ---
    Yes.
[12:59] ---
    I feel something, too.
[13:01] ---
    There's something in this world
    between you and me.
[13:07] ---
    Yes.
[13:08] ---
    I'm... I'm about to remember something.
[13:12] ---
    But it doesn't matter.
[13:13] ---
    I'm just going to pursue my goal.
[13:17] ---
    I play Aquatic Wisdom and draw a card!
[13:21] ---
    And if I've played a four elements card,
[13:25] ---
    I draw another card!
[13:28] ---
    I play a four elements card, Pyroblast!
[13:33] ---
    It does 2 damage to an enemy follower,
[13:35] ---
    and 4 if I've played a four elements spell!
[13:42] ---
    And one more! 4 damage!
[13:50] ---
    I'm not done yet.
[13:52] ---
    I play two Mass Summonings.
[13:54] ---
    I create two Clay Golems and two Scrap Golems!
[13:58] ---
    Four followers in a single turn?
[14:00] ---
    I can't lose.
[14:02] ---
    I need you for my goal.
[14:06] ---
    As an test subject, right?
[14:09] ---
    Yes. That's right.
[14:12] ---
    What is your goal?
[14:14] ---
    My turn's over.
[14:17] ---
    Now it's your turn, genius among geniuses.
[14:22] ---
    I play the spell card Witchbolt!
[14:27] ---
    It does 4 damage to a Scrap Golem!
[14:34] ---
    I'll keep going.
[14:36] ---
    Chrono Witch, here we go!
[14:40] ---
    Evolve! Turn back time!
[14:49] ---
    The Flame Destroyer I defeated?
[14:51] ---
    It's Chrono Witch's on-evolve ability.
[14:53] ---
    I can re-play followers that were destroyed
    in my opponent's turn.
[14:58] ---
    And I attack Scrap Golem
    with Chrono Witch
[15:02] ---
    and attack Clay Golem with Magicat!
[15:08] ---
    Now I end my turn.
[15:10] ---
    I see.
[15:11] ---
    That's your best card, huh?
[15:13] ---
    I'll show you mine, then.
[15:18] ---
    I attack Flame Destroyer with my Clay Golem.
[15:22] ---
    You can't defeat it like that.
[15:24] ---
    Flame Destroyer!
[15:30] ---
    I don't know about that.
[15:32] ---
    Spell Card: Quadra Magic!
[15:45] ---
    I recover my leader's defense by 3.
[15:48] ---
    And if I've used Pyroblast in this battle,
[15:52] ---
    I do 5 damage to all enemy followers!
[16:00] ---
    I'm not done yet.
[16:01] ---
    If I've played Mass Summoning,
    I create two Guardian Golems!
[16:08] ---
    And if I played Aquatic Wisdom,
    I draw cards until I have seven in hand!
[16:17] ---
    And if I played Mighty Gust,
[16:20] ---
    I transform all spells in my hand
    into Elements of Creation!
[16:28] ---
    I-Impossible... One spell with five effects?
[16:33] ---
    You said you can't lose.
[16:36] ---
    But it's the same for me.
[16:38] ---
    To revive the one I've lost...
[16:41] ---
    I'll do whatever it takes.
[16:43] ---
    That's your goal?
[16:46] ---
    Call it forbidden, if you like.
[16:48] ---
    I don't care. I...
[16:52] ---
    I don't know your story.
[16:55] ---
    But I can't call it "forbidden."
[16:59] ---
    And I know...
[17:05] ---
    What it means to struggle... to fight.
[17:11] ---
    Yes, I knew it.
[17:14] ---
    You...
[17:16] ---
    That's why you chose me,
    right, Isabelle?
[17:21] ---
    I remember everything.
[17:24] ---
    They're not all fun memories.
[17:27] ---
    Defeat was carved into my heart,
    and humiliation into my body.
[17:33] ---
    But even so...
[17:35] ---
    Even so, I don't want
    to give up on Shadowverse!
[17:38] ---
    Not sports or academics...
[17:40] ---
    I want to be the best at Shadowverse!
[17:43] ---
    My turn! Draw!
[17:49] ---
    A spell that gets more powerful
    the more spell cards I use.
[17:53] ---
    This'll be a gamble,
[17:56] ---
    but I won't be afraid!
[17:57] ---
    I'll just keep going forward!
[17:59] ---
    Spell Card: Fate's Hand!
[18:02] ---
    I draw two cards!
[18:04] ---
    And then Insight!
[18:08] ---
    I draw one card.
SIGN    Angelic Snipe
[18:10] ---
    Angelic Snipe!
[18:13] ---
    It does 1 damage to the enemy leader!
[18:17] ---
    Wind Blast!
[18:18] ---
    It does 3 damage to your Guardian Golem!
[18:26] ---
    It'll take more than that.
[18:27] ---
    I'm not done yet.
SIGN    Temporal Manipulation
[18:28] ---
    This miracle visits twice.
[18:30] ---
    Spell Card: Temporal Manipulation!
[18:37] ---
    For every spell I played this turn,
[18:40] ---
    I bring a follower that was destroyed
    in this battle back into play.
[18:43] ---
    I've used five spells this turn!
[18:46] ---
    So I summon five followers!
[18:53] ---
    Magicat attacks Guardian Golem
    with its Rush!
[18:57] ---
    Its on-attack effect returns it
    to your hand!
[19:02] ---
    Isabelle, this is what I wanted.
[19:06] ---
    I don't want calculations or efficiency.
[19:08] ---
    I want a miracle!
[19:12] ---
    We're similar, huh?
[19:15] ---
    That means I really can't hold back, then.
[19:20] ---
    This is my real best card.
[19:22] ---
    Spell Card: Elements of Creation!
[19:30] ---
    I restore my leader's defense by 10
[19:33] ---
    and create five Guardian Golems!
[19:37] ---
    And then I do 10 damage to the enemy leader
    and all his followers.
[19:42] ---
    This is my full power!
[19:58] ---
    I have four more Elements of Creations in my hand.
[20:02] ---
    How many can you endure?
[20:05] ---
    I end my turn.
[20:08] ---
    I don't need to.
[20:10] ---
    What?
[20:11] ---
    I told you. This miracle visits twice!
[20:15] ---
    Temporal Manipulation's second effect activates.
[20:19] ---
    If I've played Chrono Witch in this battle,
[20:23] ---
    the spell activates again
    after my opponent's turn!
[20:31] ---
    Time turned back again?
[20:34] ---
    Your turn ended.
[20:36] ---
    Which means...
[20:39] ---
    It's my time.
[20:42] ---
    Draw!
[20:44] ---
    Spell Card: Alchemical Lore!
[20:57] ---
    It does 3 damage to all enemy followers!
[21:06] ---
    Th-This is...
[21:08] ---
    Yes, this is my full power!
[21:11] ---
    I attack your leader with all followers!
[21:26] ---
    I win this battle!
[21:35] ---
    You're more than I imagined.
[21:36] ---
    I surrender.
[21:51] ---
    Pursue your goal.
[21:54] ---
    You're like me, so I'll help you a little.
[22:00] ---
    Isabelle...
[22:02] ---
    Bye, Kai.
[22:04] ---
    Take care of Kazuki.
[22:06] ---
    He's kind of like
    who the one I love used to be.
[22:16] ---
    Thank you.
[22:18] ---
    I'll never forget you!
[22:58] ---
    It's Kai Ijuin!
[23:01] ---
    Wow! It's the real Kai!
[23:05] ---
    I see. So this is what I wanted.
[23:10] ---
    Kai!
[23:12] ---
    Kai!
[23:14] ---
    Show us how a genius among geniuses battles!
[23:18] ---
    No. I'm starting over from "average."
[23:24] ---
