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] ---**
Shadowverse Card Showcase!
**[23:26] ---**
