***SIGN*** Shadowverse Special Episode
**[01:41] (Flashback) ---**
I knew it.
**[01:43] (Flashback) ---**
You have passion! Courage!
**[01:46] (Flashback) ---**
And power!
**[01:50] ---**
Oh, yeah! I forgot after all that happened,
**[01:54] ---**
but our battle with Leon
was where it all started.
**[01:58] ---**
He suddenly started talking about finding
the legendary cards and saving the world.
**[02:03] ---**
It was a huge surprise!
**[02:06] (Flashback) ---**
What do we do?
**[02:08] (Flashback) ---**
The seven legendary cards.
**[02:10] (Flashback) ---**
When they are gathered,
go to the Tree of Woe
**[02:14] (Flashback) ---**
and destroy the core within.
**[02:22] (Flashback) ---**
Asagi, I'll protect you,
no matter what it takes.
**[02:29] (Flashback) ---**
The end of the world has already begun.
**[02:32] (Flashback) ---**
The only ones who can stop it
and save the world
**[02:37] (Flashback) ---**
are you chosen seven.
**[02:40] (Flashback) ---**
Bring it!
**[02:41] (Flashback) ---**
Battle! Shadowverse!
**[02:45] ---**
The people of the town were possessed
by Empty Shadows and went mad.
**[02:50] ---**
The only way to defeat them
was to battle them in Shadowverse.
**[02:54] ---**
We fought many battles as we headed
to the ruins where the legendary cards lay.
**[03:05] (Flashback) ---**
I attack your leader with Ivy King!
**[03:07] ---**
There were super-strong players
waiting at the ruins!
**[03:11] ---**
My opponent was Shiro Kiriyama.
**[03:14] ---**
A pro player who went up against Luca
at the nationals!
**[03:18] ---**
He was possessed by an Empty Shadow, too.
**[03:22] ---**
I had to beat him in a battle
to get the legendary card!
**[03:27] (Flashback) ---**
Say its name.
**[03:29] (Flashback) ---**
Cast your wish unto the heavens.
**[03:31] (Flashback) ---**
If you do, it will grant you a new power!
**[03:36] (Flashback) ---**
Got it!
**[03:38] (Flashback) ---**
These burnin' hot flames
will set the sky ablaze!
**[03:42] ---**
It was really tough, but I didn't give up!
**[03:46] ---**
And the legendary card accepted me!
**[03:49] ---**
Infiniflame Dragon... my new partner!
**[03:57] ---**
At our ruins, we found the Joubert sisters.
**[04:01] (Flashback) ---**
Appear, Path to the Void!
**[04:03] ---**
Those nasty-looking ladies
who were at the Shadow Grand Prix.
**[04:11] (Flashback) ---**
So to me, being an idol and
playing Shadowverse are both important!
**[04:17] (Flashback) ---**
I love them both!
**[04:22] (Flashback) ---**
I don't need probability
or calculations to win this.
**[04:24] (Flashback) ---**
All I need is the power of my heart
**[04:28] (Flashback) ---**
and the miracle it can bring!
**[04:34] ---**
*In order to acquire your new power,*
**[04:36] ---**
*call out its name!*
**[04:39] ---**
I won a battle
that went beyond calculations
**[04:41] ---**
and gained the Sevens Force Sorcerer.
**[04:43] (Flashback) ---**
Sevens Force Sorcerer!
**[04:47] (Flashback) ---**
You are the ruler of souls,
the eternal keeper.
**[04:51] (Flashback) ---**
I put my whole self into you!
**[04:54] (Flashback) ---**
Dead Soul Taker!
**[04:58] ---**
I got Dead Soul Taker!
**[05:01] ---**
And got to be friends with big brother Kai!
**[05:04] ---**
Is that what happened?
**[05:06] ---**
Your cheeks are bright red!
**[05:09] ---**
I defeated the player at the ruins,
but the legendary card didn't accept me.
**[05:16] ---**
And then I met Shiori,
who was possessed by an Empty Shadow.
**[05:21] (Flashback) ---**
When did I start lying to you, I wonder?
**[05:25] (Flashback) ---**
Maybe it started on that day.
**[05:28] (Flashback) ---**
You were all I had left after
I lost everything. That was why.
**[05:35] (Flashback) ---**
I...
**[05:38] (Flashback) ---**
I love Shadowverse!
**[05:44] ---**
The battle with Shiori
was incredibly painful.
**[05:47] ---**
But I was finally able to say
what I really felt.
**[05:50] ---**
And that's when Doomlord of the Abyss awoke!
**[06:01] (Flashback) ---**
Shadow Predator Golem's effect activates.
**[06:07] ---**
My opponent was Seiya, the pro player!
**[06:11] ---**
He was so strong!
**[06:12] ---**
I couldn't beat him on my own!
**[06:16] (Flashback) ---**
Nope. I'm not going anywhere.
**[06:18] (Flashback) ---**
I'm not leaving you.
**[06:20] (Flashback) ---**
Did you forget?
**[06:22] (Flashback) ---**
I was your enemy, too.
**[06:26] (Flashback) ---**
Yeah, I was really upset!
**[06:28] (Flashback) ---**
But now we're on the same team.
**[06:30] (Flashback) ---**
And there's still hope.
**[06:33] ---**
But Takuma Kibakura helped me,
**[06:36] ---**
and Shining Valkyrie won me the game!
**[06:40] (Flashback) ---**
You are the green that covers all.
**[06:42] (Flashback) ---**
You are the ruler of all Fairies.
**[06:45] (Flashback) ---**
Please!
**[06:46] (Flashback) ---**
Shining Valkyrie!
**[06:53] ---**
Man, that was a really rough fight!
**[06:57] ---**
Zuo and Ko were super strong.
**[06:59] ---**
I'm an idiot.
I'm not as strong as Hiro and Luca.
**[07:02] (Flashback) ---**
But my desire to protect those I love...
**[07:06] (Flashback) ---**
is the one thing
I'll always be the best at!
**[07:10] (Flashback) ---**
You think you can beat us with feelings?
**[07:13] (Flashback) ---**
You're going to lose.
**[07:15] (Flashback) ---**
No, I haven't lost yet.
**[07:17] (Flashback) ---**
And if I haven't lost, that means I can win!
**[07:21] (Flashback) ---**
I'll never give up, no matter what!
**[07:23] (Flashback) ---**
That is my resolve!
**[07:27] ---**
But well, thanks to Hiro and the Legendary
Sword Commander, it all worked out!
**[07:34] (Flashback) ---**
You are the blade that changes the world!
**[07:37] (Flashback) ---**
Slice them apart, Legendary Sword Commander!
**[07:46] (Flashback) ---**
You know, I'm not like you all.
**[07:50] (Flashback) ---**
I have a job to do.
**[07:53] (Flashback) ---**
What are you talking about?
**[07:55] (Flashback) ---**
The legendary cards alone
can't stop the Tree of Woe.
**[08:00] (Flashback) ---**
To destroy it, a sacrifice is needed.
**[08:06] (Flashback) ---**
And that sacrifice is me.
**[08:09] (Flashback) ---**
Wh-What the heck?
**[08:11] (Flashback) ---**
A job that only I can do!
A job for only me!
**[08:15] (Flashback) ---**
So I have to do it!
**[08:19] (Flashback) ---**
That's the answer within me!
**[08:23] (Flashback) ---**
But...
**[08:25] (Flashback) ---**
I found another feeling within me,
besides that answer.
**[08:32] (Flashback) ---**
I want to live!
**[08:34] ---**
I want to live! I want to live!
I want to live! I want to live!
**[08:34] ---**
I struggled with the fate I was given.
**[08:37] ---**
I didn't know what to do.
And at the end of it all...
**[08:38] ---**
Yes! I just want to live!
**[08:40] ---**
I chose to disobey Leon.
**[08:42] ---**
You are hope! Feelings given form!
**[08:44] ---**
It's ironic that's what caused
Imperial Saint to awaken.
**[08:45] ---**
Now give me a miracle!
**[08:48] (Flashback) ---**
Imperial Saint!
**[08:54] (Flashback) ---**
This is...
**[08:55] (Flashback) ---**
Imperial Saint's true form?
**[09:04] (Flashback) ---**
No! Stop it! I...!
**[09:07] (Flashback) ---**
I want to live!
I want to live! I want to live!
**[09:10] (Flashback) ---**
No! No!
**[09:18] ---**
What happened after that...
It was, in a way, punishment.
**[09:23] ---**
It wasn't! You were just in a bad place!
**[09:27] ---**
But we're here now, so it's okay!
**[09:31] ---**
Right, right.
**[09:33] (Flashback) ---**
Let's end this, Luca!
**[09:35] (Flashback) ---**
Let's go, Hiro!
**[09:38] (Flashback) ---**
We're coming, Mauro!
**[09:44] ---**
Because we faced ourselves
and fought lots of different people,
**[09:49] ---**
we were able to get the
legendary cards, right?
**[09:54] ---**
Hey, when you got the legendary card,
**[09:58] ---**
did you talk to someone?
**[10:00] ---**
I did!
**[10:01] ---**
I didn't really understand it, but...
**[10:04] ---**
Between her and me, who's cuter?
**[10:08] ---**
W-Well...
**[10:11] ---**
You, Alice!
**[10:13] ---**
You've grown up, Big Sister!
**[10:16] (Flashback) ---**
I'll entrust you with my legend.
**[10:19] (Flashback) ---**
Your resolve has moved me.
**[10:22] (Flashback) ---**
You who drown in your fate,
**[10:25] (Flashback) ---**
but still reach out to cling to life.
**[10:29] ---**
Well, anyway, now we'd be able
to save the world!
**[10:33] ---**
Or so we thought.
**[10:37] ---**
It wasn't that easy.
**[10:40] ---**
At the end of it all, Hiro's dad appeared.
**[10:45] (Flashback) ---**
Here I go, Dad!
**[10:47] ---**
He stopped Hiro's best card.
It got really bad!
**[10:51] ---**
But in the end,
Divine Prominence Dragon turned it around!
**[10:55] ---**
The world would be saved!
**[10:58] (Flashback) ---**
This is my... This is *our* power!
**[11:02] (Flashback) ---**
Spell Card: Prominence Fusion!
**[11:08] (Flashback) ---**
Divine Prominence Dragon!
**[11:11] (Flashback) ---**
We will save the world!
**[11:20] ---**
Or so we thought, but it happened again!
**[11:24] ---**
The Tree of Woe swallowed us up!
**[11:28] ---**
What will happen to us?
**[11:31] ---**
Find out after the commercial break!
***SIGN*** Infiniflame Dragon
***SIGN*** Doomlord of the Abyss
**[11:50] ---**
I woke up and saw Mom and Grandpa.
**[11:54] ---**
Everybody was smiling.
**[11:57] ---**
It was wonderful, but something was off.
**[12:01] ---**
And then a mysterious girl appeared.
**[12:05] (Flashback) ---**
Awaken.
**[12:20] ---**
She led me to the world
of the legendary card, where I met Rowen!
**[12:29] (Flashback) ---**
I'll stand up as many times as it takes.
**[12:30] (Flashback) ---**
I won't give up until the end!
**[12:32] (Flashback) ---**
That's how he and I play Shadowverse.
**[12:35] ---**
In my battle with Rowen,
I learned everything.
**[12:39] ---**
How I tried to save the world,
how the Tree of Woe swallowed me up...
**[12:43] ---**
And...
**[12:45] ---**
The fact that world was a dream.
**[12:48] ---**
It was painful, but...
you have to wake up sometime, right?
**[12:56] (Flashback) ---**
Fly, tainted arrows!
**[13:02] (Flashback) ---**
You lose! You've lost!
**[13:05] ---**
The real me couldn't wear
clothes like these.
**[13:09] ---**
Looking back, this is embarrassing!
**[13:12] ---**
You look great! Want to be my partner?
**[13:16] ---**
No, no, no...
**[13:18] ---**
This isn't the real me!
**[13:21] ---**
I battled Arisa and took back the real me.
**[13:25] ---**
The real me. The person I am.
That's who I have to express.
**[13:25] ---**
You did? That's kind of a shame.
**[13:30] (Flashback) ---**
No! Shut up!
**[13:32] (Flashback) ---**
Because...
**[13:33] (Flashback) ---**
Shadowverse is what lets you do that, right?
**[13:38] ---**
Alice, you fought Luna, right?
**[13:42] ---**
She reminds me of you.
**[13:46] ---**
She kind of does, right?
**[13:48] ---**
In the end, we got to be friends.
It was a lot of fun.
**[13:52] (Flashback) ---**
Okay, give me even more!
**[13:56] (Flashback) ---**
Leave it to me!
**[13:59] (Flashback) ---**
I'm back, y'know?
**[14:03] ---**
Right, right!
**[14:04] ---**
I got thrown in a jail cell!
**[14:07] ---**
Thanks to Isabelle,
I made it out somehow, but...
**[14:11] ---**
You had to fight Erika, right?
**[14:16] (Flashback) ---**
But you still can't match my skills!
**[14:24] (Flashback) ---**
I attack Fortress Guard
with Swift Infiltrator!
**[14:27] ---**
Erika was really strong!
She was great with Ambush.
**[14:32] ---**
I want to battle her again!
**[14:34] (Flashback) ---**
M-More Ambush?
**[14:36] (Flashback) ---**
I play a four elements card, Pyroblast!
**[14:41] ---**
And then you fought Isabelle!
**[14:45] ---**
She turned out to be a scary person, huh?
**[14:50] ---**
She turned out to be the type
who'll do whatever it takes for her goal.
**[14:55] ---**
I can sympathize with that, personally.
**[14:58] ---**
What kind of type am I, you think?
**[15:00] ---**
An idiot, y'know?
**[15:02] ---**
What?
**[15:02] ---**
I need you for my goal.
**[15:07] (Flashback) ---**
Mauro?
**[15:10] (Flashback) ---**
Comrades... Yes, I did have them.
**[15:14] ---**
A foolish dream and a foolish reality.
**[15:18] ---**
From my perspective,
there's little difference.
**[15:20] ---**
But if there's little difference,
it's clear which one to choose.
**[15:25] ---**
My battle with Eris wasn't bad.
**[15:31] ---**
I didn't care if it was a dream,
even a short one.
**[15:35] ---**
For Shiori's sake,
I could even pretend to be someone else.
**[15:39] ---**
But dreams must end!
**[15:43] (Flashback) ---**
Now, what will you do?
**[15:44] (Flashback) ---**
I'm fine with ending it here.
**[15:48] ---**
Urias and I both understand that well.
**[15:52] ---**
So I chose to go forward!
**[15:57] ---**
In the dream created by the Tree of Woe,
Rowen and I...
**[16:01] (Flashback) ---**
Splendidly done.
**[16:03] ---**
And Arisa and I...
**[16:07] (Flashback) ---**
You're really strong, huh?
**[16:11] ---**
And Luna and I...
**[16:14] (Flashback) ---**
I lost, but it was fun!
**[16:17] ---**
And Erika and I...
**[16:20] (Flashback) ---**
Well done.
**[16:23] ---**
And Isabelle and I...
**[16:25] (Flashback) ---**
You're more than I imagined.
**[16:26] (Flashback) ---**
I surrender.
**[16:29] ---**
And Eris and I...
**[16:33] (Flashback) ---**
Wonderful...
**[16:37] ---**
And Urias and I battled.
**[16:40] (Flashback) ---**
I must admit, you are strong.
**[16:45] ---**
And then we remembered everything!
**[16:51] ---**
And so it was time for us
to head to the final battle,
**[16:54] ---**
at the castle in the sky!
**[16:57] ---**
This time, we'll save the world!
**[17:01] ---**
To that future which once disappeared...
**[17:03] ---**
We held off the Empty Shadows at the bottom,
and Hiro went up the stairs alone.
**[17:05] ---**
Please...
**[17:09] ---**
And...
**[17:10] ---**
Yeah, and then I met Dad!
**[17:13] (Flashback) ---**
A great destruction that devours the world
will descend upon you!
**[17:29] (Flashback) ---**
I'll win!
**[17:30] (Flashback) ---**
I'll overcome you, the world,
**[17:34] (Flashback) ---**
and the words "give up."
**[17:43] (Flashback) ---**
Taste defeat, Hiro!
**[17:45] (Flashback) ---**
Your tool can't beat me!
**[17:47] (Flashback) ---**
It's not a tool!
**[17:49] (Flashback) ---**
It's my partner!
**[17:51] (Flashback) ---**
Go!
**[18:03] (Flashback) ---**
I'm going on ahead!
**[18:06] ---**
Howl, Ignis Dragon!
**[18:07] ---**
After beating my dad at Shadowverse,
I finally feel like I understand him.
**[18:13] (Flashback) ---**
And... Greater Power, he's come!
**[18:16] (Flashback) ---**
He's finally here!
**[18:18] (Flashback) ---**
Move, Hiro!
**[18:22] (Flashback) ---**
Mom!
**[18:23] ---**
When I got to the castle,
Leon was waiting for me!
**[18:25] ---**
Come to me, Nexus!
**[18:38] (Flashback) ---**
When the Tree of Woe appeared before,
**[18:41] (Flashback) ---**
there was a plan to use its power
to evolve humanity to the next level.
**[18:48] (Flashback) ---**
The plan to seal everything
within the Tree of Woe.
**[18:52] (Flashback) ---**
That's Project Nexus.
**[18:54] (Flashback) ---**
This world of lies?
**[18:57] (Flashback) ---**
If I eliminate you seven chosen ones,
Project Nexus will be complete.
**[19:02] (Flashback) ---**
They were all part of my plan
to become a god!
**[19:06] ---**
Leon said he would seal the world
in a dream and become a god!
**[19:09] ---**
Spell Card: Shadow Mode!
**[19:14] (Flashback) ---**
My leader switches to Shadow Mode!
**[19:20] (Flashback) ---**
Spell Card: Calamity Mode!
**[19:34] (Flashback) ---**
Behold me, fool!
**[19:36] (Flashback) ---**
I am the ultimate power that will judge you!
**[19:40] (Flashback) ---**
I've won!
**[19:41] (Flashback) ---**
The world is mine now!
**[19:44] ---**
Leon was unbelievably powerful,
and I almost lost so many times.
**[19:49] ---**
But... you weren't alone!
**[19:52] (Flashback) ---**
Hiro!
**[19:53] (Flashback) ---**
Hiro!
**[19:54] (Flashback) ---**
Hiro!
**[19:55] (Flashback) ---**
Hiro!
**[19:56] (Flashback) ---**
Big Brother!
**[19:57] (Flashback) ---**
Hiro Ryugasaki!
**[19:59] (Flashback) ---**
I still have my bonds with my comrades!
**[20:03] ---**
That's right! I had my comrades!
My bonds with them!
**[20:08] (Flashback) ---**
The only thing that can change the world
is a greater, singular will!
**[20:12] (Flashback) ---**
No!
**[20:13] (Flashback) ---**
I'll show you, Leon,
that we'll never give up, no matter the foe!
**[20:19] ---**
That's my...
**[20:22] ---**
Our...
**[20:23] ---**
Shadowverse!
**[20:25] ---**
All the legendary cards combined
to become the Ultimate Legendary Dragon!
**[20:50] (Flashback) ---**
Draconic Blade's Overflow effect activates!
**[21:02] (Flashback) ---**
Here I go, Leon!
**[21:04] (Flashback) ---**
This is our... The world's... Our bond's...
**[21:08] (Flashback) ---**
Shadowverse's power!
**[21:15] (Flashback) ---**
I came... I came so close.
**[21:24] (Flashback) ---**
But still, I can't get there?
**[21:29] (Flashback) ---**
It was a wonderful battle.
**[21:32] (Flashback) ---**
Farewell.
**[21:34] ---**
And so we saved the world.
**[21:37] ---**
And our long, long adventure came to an end.
**[21:40] ---**
The world will awaken.
**[21:42] ---**
No, that's not right, Luca!
**[21:47] ---**
Okay, we're getting close to the end
of the Shadowverse National tournament!
**[21:49] ---**
Our battle is just beginning.
**[21:51] ---**
Yeah, that's right.
**[21:54] ---**
Shadowverse will never end!
**[21:56] ---**
Let's battle forever, y'know?
**[21:59] ---**
Our bonds...
**[22:01] ---**
...are a treasure that will exist forever.
**[22:03] ---**
That's just what I want, Hiro!
**[22:05] ---**
I hope you'll stick around in the future.
**[22:08] ---**
Thanks for watching this special episode
of Shadowverse!
**[22:12] ---**
Come on and join in one last time...
**[22:16] ---**
Battle! Shadowverse!
**[22:20] (Flashback) ---**
The battle is just beginning!
