[00:05] MC
    Have fun at the World Rankings today, everyone!
    It's the third day!
[00:09] MC
    You there! The one without any points on
    the board! There's no need to give up just yet!
[00:22] Ryoga
    Where am I?
[00:24] Itsuki
    Oh, you're awake.
[00:32] Itsuki
    Sorry. I found you a long
    way away from my place,
[00:36] Itsuki
    so I brought you to Shadowverse College.
[00:39] Itsuki
    Don't worry. It's closed right now.
[00:41] Ryoga
    What's going on?
[00:44] Ryoga
    Why did you carry me here?
[00:48] Itsuki
    It was thanks to Demonium.
[00:52] Itsuki
    I was on my way home at the end of
    the second day of the World Ranking.
[00:58] Itsuki
    Ryoga Jasei
[00:58] Itsuki
    Bloodcraft
[00:58] Itsuki
    Bloodcraft
[00:58] Itsuki
    This player has challenged you to a battle.
[00:58] Itsuki
    Do you accept?
[00:58] Itsuki
    I suddenly got an offer to battle you.
     I thought it was strange.
[01:03] Itsuki
    Then, you did nothing for several turns
     before just playing Demonium.
[01:04] Itsuki
    Turn 2
[01:04] Itsuki
    Turn 2
[01:04] Itsuki
    Player 1
[01:04] Itsuki
    Player 1
[01:04] Itsuki
    Turn 3
[01:04] Itsuki
    Turn 3
[01:09] Itsuki
    That's when I realized something
     must have happened.
[01:12] Itsuki
    So I went to the riverside
    where I fought you last time,
[01:15] Itsuki
    and you were lying there.
[01:18] Itsuki
    And Demonium was there, too.
[01:21] Ryoga
    There was no reason for you to do that.
[01:24] Itsuki
    There was a very good reason.
[01:26] Itsuki
    Your body was cold to the touch.
[01:29] Ryoga
    So what? You want me to say thanks?
[01:31] Itsuki
    Yes, I do.
[01:33] Itsuki
    But not to me. To Demonium.
[01:40] Itsuki
    Careful!
[01:41] Itsuki
    You need more rest.
[01:43] Ryoga
    Shut up. Leave me alone.
[01:46] Ryoga
    I can't just lie around here.
[01:50] Itsuki
    There's something you want to do that badly?
[01:53] Ryoga
    I want to battle that man again.
[01:57] Ryoga
    And to do that, I'm gonna win
    this World Ranking thing.
[02:02] Itsuki
    Just don't push yourself too hard.
[02:03] Ryoga
    Don't tell me what to do.
[02:06] Ryoga
    Or I'll crush you, right here, right now.
[02:12] Itsuki
    You know, you might be a lot
     dumber than I thought.
[02:17] Itsuki
    I'm in the World Ranking, too.
[02:20] Itsuki
    Let's both do our best.
[02:23] Ryoga
    You really are just annoying noise.
[02:28] Itsuki
    It's okay. Don't worry about it.
[02:31] Itsuki
    Oh, um...
[02:34] Itsuki
    Demonium, why do you like Ryoga?
[02:45] Itsuki
    Is that your way of saying he's cool?
[02:49] Itsuki
    I see.
[02:50] Itsuki
    Well, I might agree with you on that.
[02:55] Itsuki
    Thanks for coming to me.
[02:58] Itsuki
    Call me again if you need anything.
[03:04] Itsuki
    I hope we can be friends.

[04:40] Luca
    "I've Got High Hopes For You."
[04:45] Itsuki
    I'm a little tired.
[04:47] Itsuki
    What should I do? Go home and rest maybe?
[04:50] Itsuki
    No, I can't do that.
    It's the third day of the World Ranking.
[04:54] Itsuki
    I need to do my best!
[04:56] Luca
    Seventh Flame, the winners of the
    Shadowverse Club Tournament.
[05:01] Luca
    And you're the club president,
    Itsuki Mitsutagawa, yes?
[05:05] Itsuki
    You're one of the S-Seven Shadows!
[05:09] Luca
    Luca Yonazuki.
[05:11] Luca
    So you know me, huh?
[05:12] Itsuki
    Y-Yes, of course!
[05:15] Itsuki
    Every Shadowverse player does.
[05:17] Itsuki
    W-Wait, you know my name?
[05:19] Luca
    Of course I do.
[05:22] Luca
    You're the president of the strongest
    Shadowverse Club at Shadowverse College.
[05:26] Itsuki
    I-It's not that big a deal.
[05:28] Luca
    Wolfram suggested we all go out and
     battle World Ranking participants.
[05:36] Luca
    Beat us and you'll get bonus points.
[05:38] Itsuki
    R-Right. I saw that on TV.
[05:42] Luca
    It seems like a bad idea to me,
    but the majority were in favor.
[05:48] Luca
    So with that in mind...
[05:51] Luca
    Would you please battle me, Itsuki?
[05:57] Itsuki
    Slade...
[06:01] Itsuki
    I'd love to battle you.
[06:05] Luca
    This is a big space.
[06:07] Luca
    How do you like Shadowverse College?
    Do you find it helpful?
[06:11] Itsuki
    Um, yes! The facilities here are great,
    and the teachers are nice.
[06:17] Itsuki
    It's all thanks to Wolfram Zerga.
[06:19] Luca
    I see. I'm glad to hear that.
[06:22] Luca
    I was surprised when he suddenly
    said he wanted to make this place.
[06:26] Luca
    But yeah, maybe it's not that bad.
[06:29] Luca
    Now then...
[06:32] Luca
    Let's get started.
[06:34] Luca
    The power of the president of the
     strongest Shadowverse Club...
[06:38] Luca
    I have high hopes for you.
[06:41] Itsuki
    So this is one of the Seven Shadows...
[06:44] Itsuki
    No, this is Luca Yonazuki.
[06:48] Itsuki
    But I can't run away from the fight.
[06:53] Itsuki
    Let's begin!
[06:55] Luca
    Yes, let's make it a good battle.
[06:58] Luca
    Battle! Shadowverse!
[07:26] Luca
    Okay, then. My turn. Draw.
[07:30] Luca
    I play Ambling Wraith.
[07:34] Luca
    Ambling Wraith's effect activates.
[07:37] Luca
    It does 1 damage to both leaders.
[07:45] Luca
    I end my turn.
[07:47] Luca
    Your turn.
[07:48] Itsuki
    Right. Draw!
[07:51] Itsuki
    I play Gerbera Bear.
[07:57] Itsuki
    Its effect adds a Floral Breeze to my hand.
[08:01] Itsuki
    I end my turn.
[08:04] Luca
    Draw.
[08:06] Luca
    I play Yurius, Levin Duke.
[08:11] Luca
    Ambling Wraith attacks your leader.
[08:16] Luca
    I end my turn.
[08:18] Itsuki
    I'll draw.
[08:21] Itsuki
    First, Gerbera Bear attacks your leader.
[08:29] Itsuki
    Next, I play the spell card Floral Breeze,
[08:33] Itsuki
    which returns a follower to my hand
    and restores my leader's defense by 1.
[08:41] Itsuki
    I play Gerbera Bear again.
[08:45] Itsuki
    I get another Floral Breeze.
[08:48] Luca
    Yurius's effect activates,
[08:50] Luca
    doing 1 damage to the enemy leader
    any time they bring a follower into play.
[08:59] Itsuki
    I end my turn.
[09:00] Luca
    Draw.
[09:03] Luca
    I attack with both followers.
[09:13] Luca
    I play Devil of Vengeance.
[09:16] Luca
    It can't attack until
    Vengeance is active for me.
[09:20] Itsuki
    So your Bloodcraft deck is based
    around activating Vengeance?
[09:24] Luca
    Yes. You recognize it?
[09:26] Itsuki
    Yes. I've battled a
    similar deck several times.
[09:29] Luca
    A friend? Or a rival?
[09:33] Itsuki
    I'm not sure on that.
[09:36] Luca
    It's your turn now.
[09:38] Itsuki
    Okay. My turn! Draw!
[09:43] Itsuki
    I play Elf Child May.
[09:48] Itsuki
    Her effect activates, doing 1 damage
    to a random enemy follower!
[09:54] Itsuki
    Yes!
[09:56] Luca
    I'm not sure that's all good news for you.
[09:59] Luca
    Yurius's effect activates.
[10:03] Itsuki
    I'm not done yet.
[10:05] Itsuki
    I play the spell card
    Blossoming Twinfangs!
[10:08] Itsuki
    I return a follower to my hand
    and play a card I select.
[10:15] Luca
    Yurius.
[10:21] Itsuki
    Salvia Panther has Rush.
[10:24] Itsuki
    I attack Yurius.
[10:28] Itsuki
    And I end my turn.
[10:30] Itsuki
    I've lost a good amount of defense
    but I should still be okay.
[10:35] Itsuki
    If Luca's aiming to activate Vengeance—
[10:37] Itsuki
    "It'll be a little while longer
    before he's in Vengeance."
[10:42] Itsuki
    Is that what you're thinking?
[10:44] Itsuki
    But you're wrong.
[10:46] Itsuki
    The cards distributed for the World Ranking
     have strengthened Bloodcraft.
[10:53] Itsuki
    Blood-red turns to gold. I summon Belphegor!
[11:00] Itsuki
    A legendary follower?
[11:02] Luca
    Belphegor's effect activates...
[11:08] Luca
    doing damage until my defense is
    reduced to 10 and drawing two cards.
[11:15] Luca
    And so...
[11:19] Luca
    Vengeance is activated.
[11:24] Luca
    Devil of Vengeance can now attack.
[11:27] Luca
    It attacks your leader!
[11:35] Luca
    I can do things like this now.
[11:41] Itsuki
    Good... to know.

[11:55] Itsuki
    My turn. Draw!
[11:59] Itsuki
    I'm fine. I just have to stay calm.
[12:01] Itsuki
    My deck has gotten stronger, too.
[12:04] Itsuki
    I play Elf Child May.
[12:10] Itsuki
    Next, I play the spell card Anti-Air Shot,
[12:14] Itsuki
    which returns a follower to my hand and
    does 3 damage to an enemy follower!
[12:24] Itsuki
    And then, I play Sukuna, Brave and Small.
[12:31] Itsuki
    Evolve!
[12:33] Itsuki
    Her on-evolve effect triggers.
[12:35] Itsuki
    If I've played three or more cards this turn,
[12:39] Itsuki
    it increases her attack and defense by 2!
[12:41] Itsuki
    Sukuna attacks Belphegor.
[12:44] Luca
    Nicely done.
[12:49] Luca
    But how about this?
[12:51] Luca
    Dark Airjammer.
[12:58] Luca
    If I'm in Vengeance, it puts two followers
    with a cost of 2 or less from my deck into play.
[13:07] Itsuki
    Three followers from one card?
[13:09] Luca
    Blood Wolf has Storm and attacks Sukuna.
[13:17] Luca
    Then, I evolve Dark Airjammer.
[13:24] Luca
    I end my turn.
[13:25] Luca
    This isn't the true limit of
    your strength, is it, Itsuki?
[13:29] Itsuki
    That's right. My Shadowverse
    is just getting started!
[13:34] Itsuki
    Crocus Rat!
[13:38] Itsuki
    It recovers 3 points to
     both leader's defenses.
[13:45] Itsuki
    And if I've returned at least three
    cards to my hand during the game,
[13:50] Itsuki
    it restores my PP by 1.
[13:53] Itsuki
    I play Salvia Panther at Enhance 5.
[13:57] Itsuki
    Its Enhance effect summons
     a Windflower Tiger.
[14:03] Itsuki
    Windflower Tiger's effect activates.
[14:05] Itsuki
    If I have Salvia Panther in play,
[14:08] Itsuki
    its attack increases by 2 and
     it can't be targeted by effects!
[14:11] Itsuki
    Crocus Rat, evolve!
[14:16] Itsuki
    Salvia Panther has Rush, and both
    followers attack your Dark Airjammer.
[14:20] Luca
    Counter it.
[14:30] Itsuki
    Salvia Panther's Last Words!
[14:32] Itsuki
    If I have Windflower Tiger in play,
    a Salvia Panther without Rush is summoned!
[14:38] Luca
    Excellent. Just what I'd hoped for.
     Steady, logical plays.
[14:43] Luca
    I especially liked the way you increased
    my defense to keep me out of Vengeance.
[14:50] Itsuki
    Thank you.
[14:52] Itsuki
    It might be thanks to Ryoga.
[14:55] Itsuki
    After losing to him,
    I studied Bloodcraft a lot.
[15:01] Luca
    I see.
[15:02] Luca
    I think I was the same way.
[15:04] Luca
    I lost, and then got stronger.
[15:07] Itsuki
    L-Luca of the Seven Shadows lost?
[15:10] Itsuki
    Who could beat you?
[15:13] Luca
    Someone strong.
[15:17] Luca
    Scorpius attacks Windflower Tiger.
[15:28] Itsuki
    It has Bane?
[15:29] Luca
    Yes.
[15:31] Luca
    And due to Scorpius's
    on-attack effect, I take 1 damage.
[15:37] Luca
    I play Scarlet Vampire.
[15:45] Luca
    Its effect activates, doing
    2 damage to all enemy followers!
[15:50] Luca
    And if my leader has taken damage this turn,
[15:54] Luca
    it does 3 damage to the enemy leader!
[16:04] Luca
    And then, it does 2 damage to my leader.
[16:13] Itsuki
    I can't believe he activated
    Vengeance again so easily.
[16:16] Itsuki
    He's as good as I thought he was.
[16:18] Luca
    The Seven Shadows are the
    strongest seven players in the world.
[16:22] Luca
    But there's only one person
    who is truly the strongest.
[16:25] Luca
    It's not me. Nor is it Wolfram.
[16:29] Luca
    Though, he doesn't seem to realize it.
[16:33] Luca
    I hope he gets his act together soon.
[16:37] Luca
    We got a bit off-topic there.
    Go ahead. It's your turn.
[16:41] Itsuki
    R-Right. Draw!
[16:44] Itsuki
    I play Slade, Blossoming Wolf.
[16:53] Itsuki
    Thanks, Slade.
[16:55] Itsuki
    Slade's effect activates.
[16:58] Itsuki
    Cosmos Fang
[16:58] Itsuki
    It lowers the cost of a follower card
    in my hand with a cost of 5 or more by 2,
[16:59] Itsuki
    Cosmos Fang
[17:00] Itsuki
    Cosmos Fang
[17:00] Itsuki
    Cosmos Fang
[17:01] Itsuki
    Cosmos Fang
[17:03] Itsuki
    Cosmos Fang
[17:03] Itsuki
    and gives it a new effect.
[17:05] Itsuki
    And then, it evolves!
[17:08] Itsuki
    Its on-evolve effect triggers.
[17:11] Itsuki
    If I've returned three or more cards
    to my hand during this game,
[17:16] Itsuki
    it sets the attack and defense
    of all enemy followers to 1.
[17:20] Itsuki
    Slade attacks Scarlet Vampire.
[17:25] Itsuki
    And then...
[17:27] Itsuki
    Pure white fangs, dance!
[17:33] Itsuki
    It's all up to you now! Cosmos Fang!
[17:39] Luca
    Ambush, huh?
[17:40] Itsuki
    Yes. Slade gave it that effect.
[17:43] Itsuki
    And Cosmos Fang's effect triggers
    at the end of the turn,
[17:47] Itsuki
    returning one follower to my hand,
[17:49] Itsuki
    and restoring my defense equal to its cost.
[17:54] Itsuki
    I can do this!
[17:56] Itsuki
    Just as long as he doesn't
    destroy Cosmos Fang...
[17:59] Luca
    A good combo.
[18:01] Luca
    I'll show you mine, then.
[18:05] Luca
    Vermilion Killer. Its Vengeance
    effect restores my PP by 4.
[18:11] Luca
    And then...
[18:13] Luca
    The time for vengeance has come.
[18:16] Luca
    Dark Emperor!
[18:33] Itsuki
    That's...
[18:35] Luca
    My best card.
[18:37] Luca
    Dark Emperor's Vengeance effect allows it to
    destroy two enemy followers of my choosing.
[18:43] Itsuki
    But Cosmos Fang has Ambush.
    You can't target it.
[18:49] Luca
    That's the reason for the combo.
[18:57] Luca
    Vermilion Killer's effect activates.
[18:59] Luca
    Once per turn, when I target an enemy with
     an effect, that effect gets strengthened.
[19:06] Luca
    As such, Dark Emperor's effect doesn't
     just destroy two of your followers...
[19:10] Luca
    It destroys all of them!
[19:13] Itsuki
    N-No way!
[19:15] Luca
    Slice them in twain, Dark Emperor!
[19:24] Luca
    I end my turn.
[19:26] Itsuki
    H-He's strong. So this is the
    power of the Seven Shadows.
[19:30] Itsuki
    And I'm sure Luca isn't...
[19:34] Itsuki
    Draw!
[19:36] Itsuki
    I play Rose Deer!
[19:42] Itsuki
    Its effect adds a Thorn Burst to my hand.
[19:46] Itsuki
    Rose Deer has Rush and
    attacks Vermilion Killer.
[19:51] Itsuki
    Its on-attack effect triggers, restoring 2 PP
    and adding two 1-cost cards to my hand.
[20:00] Itsuki
    I play Gerbera Bear, which adds
     a Floral Breeze to my hand.
[20:06] Itsuki
    Floral Breeze!
[20:08] Itsuki
    I return Gerbera Bear to my hand
    and restore my leader's defense by 1.
[20:13] Itsuki
    If I do the same Gerbera Bear
    and Floral Breeze combo again,
[20:17] Itsuki
    I can restore my defense, but...
[20:19] Itsuki
    Luca still has 10 defense.
[20:22] Itsuki
    I play the spell card, Thorn Burst!
[20:27] Itsuki
    It does 3 damage to the enemy leader!
[20:33] Itsuki
    I end my turn!
[20:35] Luca
    A good call.
[20:38] Luca
    Going on the offensive is
    important against Bloodcraft.
[20:49] Luca
    But you can't afford to get the timing wrong.
[21:03] Luca
    In Vengeance, Dark General gets Storm.
[21:06] Luca
    Along with Dark Emperor,
     it attacks your leader!
[21:19] Itsuki
    I can still...
[21:22] Itsuki
    Th-That card...
[21:24] Luca
    Razory Claw.
[21:26] Luca
    It does 2 damage to my leader.
[21:28] Luca
    And 3 damage to your leader.
[21:34] Luca
    This was just the battle I'd hoped for.
[21:39] Luca
    But for today, I win.
[21:54] Luca
    This was a good change of pace for me.
[21:57] Luca
    Thank you.
[21:59] Itsuki
    No, thank you.
[22:02] Luca
    You will be an excellent
     Shadowverse player one day.
[22:05] Luca
    Keep practicing.
[22:07] Itsuki
    O-Okay.
[22:09] Luca
    I'll be going now.
[22:12] Itsuki
    Um...
[22:16] Itsuki
    Um, you weren't playing for real, were you?
[22:20] Itsuki
    That's how it felt to me.
[22:22] Itsuki
    I'm sorry if I'm wrong.
[22:25] Luca
    Maybe I wasn't.
[22:28] Itsuki
    I know I don't have any right to say this,
[22:31] Itsuki
    but I wanted to play you for real!
[22:34] Luca
    If I'd played for real...
[22:37] Luca
    you would've quit Shadowverse.
[22:43] Luca
    Just kidding.
[22:45] Luca
    I'm not trying to insult you.
     Don't get the wrong idea.
[22:49] Luca
    Now's just not the right time.
[22:52] Luca
    Itsuki, you were just what I'd hoped.
    But you were no more than that.
[22:58] Luca
    If we get another chance to play,
     surpass your limits.
[23:05] Itsuki
    It's frustrating. He's so much stronger.
[23:09] Itsuki
    But I've still got a chance, right?
[23:13] Itsuki
    It's not over, right, Slade?
[23:16] Itsuki
    I'll get stronger.
[23:19] Itsuki
    Strong enough that
    Luca has to play for real!
