Ruler of the World
**[01:35] ---**
Any further struggling will only
cause you pointless suffering.
**[01:40] ---**
Stay down.
**[01:42] ---**
Just give up everything, and dream.
**[01:50] ---**
No...
**[01:52] ---**
Your best card was destroyed.
The legendary card is gone.
**[01:58] ---**
It's over. You've lost!
**[02:01] ---**
No, I haven't lost!
**[02:05] ---**
I promised that this time, I wouldn't lose.
**[02:10] ---**
So I...
**[02:15] ---**
Yes, we made a promise.
**[02:19] ---**
Rowen.
**[02:21] ---**
I promised to run to your side
if you were in danger.
**[02:25] ---**
That I would stand with you!
**[02:28] ---**
Give me your power, Rowen!
**[02:31] ---**
Yes!
**[02:32] ---**
To save this world, and the ones you love!
**[02:37] ---**
Let's go, Hiro!
**[02:39] ---**
What happened?
**[02:41] ---**
Infiniflame Dragon gets new Last Words!
**[02:45] ---**
The next card I draw
is transformed into Ignis Dragon!
**[02:52] ---**
And Ignis Dragon gets all the effects
of Infiniflame Dragon!
**[03:00] ---**
I'll win!
**[03:01] ---**
I'll overcome you, the world,
**[03:03] ---**
and the words "give up."
**[03:05] ---**
I'll win!
**[03:08] ---**
I'm with you!
**[03:10] ---**
Howl, Ignis Dragon!
**[03:19] ---**
Ignis Dragon's new effect activates!
**[03:22] ---**
It does 5 damage to the enemy leader!
**[03:28] ---**
The evolved Ignis Dragon
attacks Shadow Ignis Dragon!
**[03:35] ---**
Counterattack, Shadow Ignis Dragon!
**[03:44] ---**
Shadow Howling has enhanced
Shadow Ignis Dragon!
**[03:48] ---**
Taste defeat, Hiro!
**[03:50] ---**
Your tool can't beat me!
**[03:52] ---**
It's not a tool!
**[03:54] ---**
It's my partner!
**[03:57] ---**
Infiniflame Dragon's Last Words
gave Ignis Dragon
**[04:01] ---**
an effect that increases
both its attack and defense by 10!
**[04:05] ---**
And its own effect increased its attack by 5!
**[04:11] ---**
What?
**[04:12] ---**
My partner's strong!
**[04:14] ---**
So I can go anywhere I want!
**[04:17] ---**
Go!
**[04:29] ---**
You defeated my tool,
but you still have no defense.
**[04:35] ---**
Will you still not give up?
**[04:38] ---**
Nope!
**[04:39] ---**
'Cause he can still fly!
**[04:42] ---**
Remember what I said, Dad?
**[04:44] ---**
He's got all the effects
that Infiniflame Dragon has!
**[04:51] ---**
Impossible...
**[04:52] ---**
Ignis Dragon's new effect activates!
**[04:56] ---**
When it attacks an enemy follower,
**[04:58] ---**
it deals the same amount
of damage to the leader!
**[05:04] ---**
I'm going on ahead!
**[05:07] ---**
Howl, Ignis Dragon!
**[05:18] ---**
Is this your power?
**[05:21] ---**
I... won.
**[05:25] ---**
Yes, I lost.
**[05:28] ---**
I'll believe in you.
**[05:34] ---**
What is this?
**[05:35] ---**
Your smartphone has some of the same power
that Asagi and I had to stop the Nexus.
**[05:43] ---**
I never was able to master it,
but I know you can.
**[05:52] ---**
I see.
**[05:54] ---**
I was always connected with you,
wasn't I, Dad?
**[06:01] ---**
I wanted to do it all myself.
**[06:05] ---**
Without anybody's help.
**[06:09] ---**
But maybe this is what I wanted.
**[06:13] ---**
Maybe I wanted to entrust it all to you.
**[06:17] ---**
That's what I think.
**[06:19] ---**
Yeah, I think that you called me here, too.
**[06:26] ---**
Hiro, save this world, and Asagi.
**[06:30] ---**
Leave it to me, Dad!
**[06:38] ---**
Wait for me, Nexus!
**[06:40] ---**
I'll defeat you and save the world!
**[07:30] ---**
I'm glad you made it.
**[07:33] ---**
A-Are you...
**[07:38] ---**
Mom?
**[07:40] ---**
Yes, I am Asagi.
**[07:43] ---**
Her heart, to be precise.
**[07:46] ---**
My body itself is ruled by Nexus.
**[07:51] ---**
It's belonged to her for so long.
**[07:54] ---**
Then even if I save the world, you...
**[07:59] ---**
Wonderful, young man.
**[08:03] ---**
I'm so impressed.
**[08:06] ---**
You've met my expectations—
no, surpassed them.
**[08:10] ---**
Leon, what are you doing here?
**[08:13] ---**
Did you awaken, too?
**[08:15] ---**
Yes. I set plans in motion a long time ago,
**[08:19] ---**
so I was able to awaken.
**[08:21] ---**
"Plans"...
**[08:23] ---**
Did you know this would happen?
**[08:26] ---**
That the Tree of Woe would absorb the world?
**[08:30] ---**
Yes, I did.
**[08:32] ---**
And... Greater Power, he's come!
**[08:37] ---**
He's finally here!
**[08:38] ---**
Move, Hiro!
**[08:42] ---**
Mom!
**[08:44] ---**
I am the ruler of the world.
**[08:52] ---**
What did you do?
**[08:53] ---**
Come to me, Nexus!
**[09:00] ---**
Mom!
**[09:16] ---**
I see. Not bad at all.
**[09:19] ---**
So this is Nexus.
**[09:21] ---**
Wh-Where's my mom?
**[09:23] ---**
I absorbed her, and Nexus.
**[09:25] ---**
She's inside me.
**[09:28] ---**
Leon!
**[09:29] ---**
Don't look so angry.
**[09:32] ---**
What you seek, and this world...
and everything...
**[09:39] ---**
It's time for them to end.
**[09:42] ---**
Yeah, this is the final battle
between you and me!
**[09:47] ---**
Battle! Shadowverse!
***SIGN*** Pyroxene Dragon
***SIGN*** Firstborn Dragon
**[10:04] ---**
Aiela, Dragon Knight attacks Mainyu!
**[10:10] ---**
Aiela's Last Words
increase my max play points by 1!
**[10:17] ---**
And Sandstorm Dragon attacks your leader.
**[10:22] ---**
I see.
**[10:24] ---**
Now I end my turn.
**[10:26] ---**
Wonderful, really.
**[10:29] ---**
I can feel how you've grown.
**[10:31] ---**
And it only makes me want
to destroy you all the more.
**[10:34] ---**
For the sake of my goal, Project Nexus!
**[10:39] ---**
I play Disaster Priest!
**[10:41] ---**
What's Project Nexus?
**[10:44] ---**
When the Tree of Woe appeared before,
**[10:47] ---**
there was a plan to use its power
to evolve humanity to the next level.
**[10:53] ---**
But you need an explanation, don't you?
**[10:56] ---**
You've already experienced it.
**[10:58] ---**
It's this. This world!
**[11:00] ---**
The plan to seal everything
within the Tree of Woe.
**[11:04] ---**
That's Project Nexus.
**[11:07] ---**
This world of lies?
**[11:09] ---**
Lies?
**[11:10] ---**
I don't know about that.
**[11:12] ---**
False or not, peace is peace.
**[11:15] ---**
Humanity will evolve,
and sorrow will disappear.
**[11:18] ---**
Here, no cheeks will ever be stained with tears.
**[11:23] ---**
That doesn't give you the right
to lock everyone in a dream!
**[11:27] ---**
I'm not asking for you to understand.
**[11:30] ---**
I attack your leader with Ardent Nun.
**[11:35] ---**
If I eliminate you seven chosen ones,
Project Nexus will be complete.
**[11:41] ---**
And that's all I have to do.
**[11:45] ---**
Then from the very start, you...
**[11:47] ---**
Yes!
**[11:49] ---**
The National Tournament,
the Shadow Grand Prix,
**[11:52] ---**
and the road to the Tree of Woe.
**[11:55] ---**
They were all part of my plan to become a god!
**[12:01] ---**
I evolve Disaster Priest!
**[12:06] ---**
Its evolve effect activates,
**[12:09] ---**
destroys one of my followers,
and creates another Disaster Priest.
**[12:16] ---**
And its other evolve effect activates as well.
**[12:26] ---**
Th-This is... the one from before!
**[12:29] ---**
It puts the amulet card
Lion's Den Sanctum in play.
**[12:33] ---**
My evolved Disaster Priest
attacks Pyroxene Dragon!
**[12:42] ---**
Pyroxene Dragon has Last Words!
I draw three cards!
**[12:47] ---**
So it's all been your plan?
**[12:50] ---**
Yes, that's right.
**[12:52] ---**
But, young man, only the weak
waste their time with plans.
**[12:58] ---**
My plan, after all, did nothing
but make me realize my own powerlessness.
**[13:05] ---**
To make Project Nexus a success,
**[13:07] ---**
I needed the legendary cards
to defeat Eiji and the Empty Shadows.
**[13:15] ---**
But I didn't have the right to hold them.
**[13:19] ---**
And the replicas I made weren't even close.
**[13:26] ---**
They were pathetic.
**[13:28] ---**
But I just couldn't give up.
**[13:33] ---**
So I decided to gather the chosen ones,
**[13:36] ---**
give them the legendary cards,
**[13:39] ---**
and open the way for them
to go to the Tree of Woe.
**[13:43] ---**
I used you and Mauro for my plan.
**[13:49] ---**
You even used Mauro?
**[13:51] ---**
Yes, that's right.
**[13:53] ---**
It was far more useful than I expected.
**[13:56] ---**
"It"?
**[13:58] ---**
When Eiji gave it power,
I was able to get valuable data.
**[14:03] ---**
The reason I can control Nexus's power now
is that it provided valuable data.
**[14:12] ---**
Leon, you...
**[14:15] ---**
I play Dragonguard!
**[14:19] ---**
Evolve!
**[14:22] ---**
I attack Disaster Priest!
**[14:26] ---**
Sandstorm Dragon attacks
your other Disaster Priest!
**[14:35] ---**
I see.
**[14:37] ---**
You're so angry because
you think of it as your comrade.
**[14:41] ---**
He's not "it." He's "Mauro"!
**[14:44] ---**
That's fine with me.
**[14:46] ---**
Your emotions make you weak.
**[14:50] ---**
Radiance Angel!
**[14:53] ---**
That card...
**[14:55] ---**
Yes, it's the card I gave it.
**[15:02] ---**
Its effect restores my leader's defense by 3,
and I draw a card.
**[15:08] ---**
It was a fool, truly.
**[15:10] ---**
No, all humans are fools.
**[15:14] ---**
A single card can control them.
**[15:19] ---**
Evolve.
**[15:24] ---**
I attack Dragonguard with Radiance Angel!
**[15:31] ---**
Do you know how much Mauro
suffered because of you?
**[15:35] ---**
Of course.
**[15:37] ---**
I gave it the card to make it suffer.
**[15:42] ---**
Leon!
**[15:46] ---**
Oh, dear.
**[15:48] ---**
Draw! Dragonrider!
**[15:50] ---**
Its Overflow effect
increases its attack by 2!
**[15:54] ---**
Spell Card: Draconic Fervor!
**[15:58] ---**
It restores my leader's defense by 3,
and I draw two cards!
**[16:04] ---**
And my max play points go up by 1!
**[16:09] ---**
Leon, I'll defeat you!
**[16:15] ---**
Yes. Very good. Very good, indeed.
**[16:25] ---**
I'm sorry. I lost control for a moment.
**[16:29] ---**
You really are his son.
**[16:31] ---**
You remind me of him so much.
**[16:33] ---**
It may indeed be fate
that I'm battling you!
***SIGN*** Sacred Lion
**[16:41] ---**
Now, it's time for your trial!
**[16:51] ---**
Th-That's...
**[16:54] ---**
If I have Lion's Den Sanctum in play,
**[16:57] ---**
Sacred Lion evolves!
**[17:06] ---**
Attack Dragonrider!
**[17:10] ---**
Sacred Lion has Banish.
**[17:13] ---**
And it doesn't take damage from combat.
**[17:17] ---**
Lion's Den Sanctum's effect activates.
**[17:21] ---**
When one of your followers is destroyed,
you take damage equal to its attack!
**[17:30] ---**
And when Sacred Lion destroys
a follower during an attack,
**[17:37] ---**
we both get the card Blessed by the Mane.
**[17:45] ---**
I play Blessed by the Mane.
**[17:47] ---**
The last follower I played
is added to my hand at 0 cost.
**[17:53] ---**
And so...
**[17:55] ---**
This is what happens.
**[18:00] ---**
Well, if you accept my blessing,
**[18:03] ---**
you may be able to win
as you did last time.
**[18:07] ---**
Blessed by the Mane is discarded
from your hand at the end of your turn.
**[18:11] ---**
So...
**[18:12] ---**
My turn! Draw!
**[18:14] ---**
I see you're in a hurry.
**[18:16] ---**
I won't use your power.
**[18:18] ---**
I'll win with my own power!
**[18:21] ---**
I play Dragonewt Fist,
**[18:23] ---**
which discards the lowest-cost card
in my hand
**[18:26] ---**
and does 2 damage
to a random enemy follower!
**[18:29] ---**
This happens twice!
**[18:31] ---**
I discard Blessed by the Mane.
**[18:35] ---**
You're no fun at all.
**[18:37] ---**
Go!
**[18:43] ---**
I'm not done yet!
**[18:45] ---**
Spell Card: Conflagration!
**[19:03] ---**
Well?
**[19:05] ---**
I don't need your power.
**[19:07] ---**
Fool.
**[19:09] ---**
Dragonewt Fist does damage
at random, right?
**[19:14] ---**
If both times it had hit
the same Sacred Lion...
**[19:20] ---**
You're just like Eiji.
So brash and careless.
**[19:24] ---**
I end my turn.
**[19:26] ---**
I remember that day
as if it were yesterday.
**[19:30] ---**
"That day"?
**[19:31] ---**
I told you before, right?
**[19:34] ---**
How Eiji's, Asagi's, and my own story began.
**[19:39] ---**
The Tree of Woe chose Asagi as its vessel.
**[19:43] (Flashback) ---**
So Leon, find a way to get rid of this.
To save the world!
**[19:51] ---**
It was all as I planned.
**[19:54] ---**
I'm the one who caused the Tree of Woe
to go out of control.
**[19:57] ---**
I knew it would choose Asagi as its vessel,
**[20:01] ---**
and that Eiji would go after her.
**[20:05] ---**
They were a threat to Project Nexus.
**[20:10] ---**
So I got rid of them.
**[20:13] ---**
Eiji was too slow to figure out that
no one could stop humanity's evolution, you see.
**[20:20] ---**
Leon, how rotten are you?
**[20:24] ---**
I like that face.
**[20:25] ---**
That rage, that hatred...
As a villain, I love it.
**[20:30] ---**
My turn!
***SIGN*** Shadow Mode
**[20:35] ---**
I will give you a glimpse of power
beyond human knowledge.
**[20:44] ---**
Wh-What?
**[20:46] ---**
Oh, I see.
**[20:48] ---**
This is indeed... an incredible thing.
**[20:52] ---**
What is this spell?
**[20:55] ---**
This is the power that will rule the world.
**[20:58] ---**
Wonderful! Truly wonderful!
**[21:02] ---**
Spell Card: Shadow Mode!
**[21:06] ---**
My leader switches to Shadow Mode!
**[21:12] ---**
"Sh-Shadow Mode"?
**[21:14] ---**
The cards in my deck are changed
to Artifact cards and Shadow cards.
**[21:20] ---**
All cards I control are destroyed.
**[21:23] ---**
And my deck becomes a Shadow deck!
**[21:28] ---**
A shadow deck...
**[21:30] ---**
Now, young man, it's time to scream!
**[21:33] ---**
Analyzing Artifact: Shadow Assault!
**[21:39] ---**
Cry and rejoice. Tremble in terror.
**[21:44] ---**
Because you are witnessing
the birth of a god!
**[23:24] ---**
Shadowverse Card Showcase!
**[23:26] ---**
Today's Card is Shadow Mode!
***SIGN*** Shadow Mode!
**[23:28] ---**
This is a special card Leon uses!
**[23:31] ---**
It transforms his leader.
**[23:33] ---**
But we'll be fine, right?
**[23:35] ---**
Yeah! We'll win and save the world!
***SIGN*** Next Time
**[23:39] ---**
I am the God of this world!
**[23:41] ---**
Cry! Sob! Your defeat is here!
**[23:45] ---**
I... We... will never lose!
**[23:48] ---**
Next time: Time of Evolution!
***SIGN*** Episode 47
