**[00:08] Gu**
Go, Knight!
**[00:13] Gu**
I end my turn.
**[00:15] Gu**
Well, Hiro?
**[00:17] Gu**
Nice, Kazuki!
**[00:19] Gu**
It's my turn now!
**[00:21] Gu**
Fire Lizard!
**[00:25] Gu**
Fire Lizard's effect does 1 damage
to an enemy follower!
**[00:29] Gu**
Now attack the weakened foe,
Sandstorm Dragon!
**[00:37] Gu**
I'm not done yet, Kazuki!
**[00:40] Gu**
I evolve my...
**[00:42] Gu**
Evolve your butt into your seat.
**[00:44] Gu**
Oh no!
**[00:46] Gu**
Kazuki, let's do this later.
**[00:49] Gu**
Yup. I haven't lost yet.
**[00:51] Gu**
Not that I had any cards that would've won.
**[00:53] Gu**
You didn't?
**[00:56] Gi**
Then maybe you should've been
a little less aggressive.
**[01:00] Gu**
Y-You're right.
**[01:02] Gu**
Well, sometimes you can get
a little ahead of yourself.
**[01:06] Gu**
Okay, open your textbooks.
**[01:07] Gu**
* I need to get better at that stuff*
* if I want to be stronger, you know?*
**[01:12] Gu**
Okay, off to the stadium!
**[01:15] Gi**
You've been going every day lately!
**[01:18] Gu**
I want to get stronger, after all.
**[01:20] Gu**
What about you two?
**[01:21] Gi**
I'll go later.
**[01:23] Gu**
I want to go later, you know?
**[01:25] Gu**
But I need to help out at home a little.
**[01:30] Gu**
Well, the stadium isn't going anywhere.
**[01:33] Gu**
I know,
**[01:34] Gu**
but I wanted to go today.
**[01:37] Gu**
Why?
**[01:39] Gu**
Well... you know.

Yes!
**[05:56] Gu**
Go!
**[05:58] Gu**
Wahoo!
**[06:06] Gu**
Hiro's gotten stronger.
**[06:09] Gu**
Kazuki Shindo is...
trying his best, I guess.
**[06:13] Gi**
Wow!
**[06:14] Gi**
They both made it to the finals.
**[06:16] Gi**
Did you lose?
**[06:19] Gu**
No.
**[06:20] Gu**
I deliberately chose not to participate,
so I could gather data.
**[06:24] Gi**
Don't worry!
**[06:26] Gi**

For the final round!
**[06:42] Gu**
We finally meet, Hiro!
**[06:44] Gu**
Yup! I've been waiting, Kazuki!
**[06:46] Gu**
You can do it, y'know, bro!
**[06:49] Gu**
Don't lose!
**[06:50] Gu**
Make sure you win!
**[06:52] Gu**
Leave it to me!
**[06:55] Gu**
Hiro, this is the one fight I can't lose!
**[06:58] Gu**
I know, Kazuki!
**[07:01] Gu**
I can't lose, either!
**[07:03] Gu**
Battle! Shadowverse!
**[07:31] Gu**
Yes!
**[07:37] Gu**
My turn!
**[07:38] Gu**
I'll hit you hard and fast with this!
**[07:40] Gu**
Quickblader!
**[07:45] Gu**
Quickblader's got Storm,
so it can attack right away!
**[07:50] Gu**
Go!
**[07:53] Gu**
That was fast, Kazuki!
**[07:55] Gu**
There's a prize on the line!
**[07:57] Gu**
I've gotta be serious!
**[07:59] Gu**
I end my turn!
**[08:00] Gu**
Yup!
**[08:01] Gu**
I can't lose, either!
**[08:03] Gu**
My turn!
**[08:04] Gu**
Draw!
**[08:04] [SONG] Gu**
Imprisoned Dragon
**[08:05] [SONG] Gu**
Bejeweled Dragon
**[08:06] Gu**
I play Bejeweled Dragon!
**[08:09] Gu**
And end my turn!
**[08:11] Gu**
Okay, let's keep it going!
**[08:13] Gu**
My turn!
**[08:14] Gu**
I play Oathless Knight!
**[08:19] Gu**
Oathless Knight's effect activates
and creates a Knight on the field!
**[08:24] Gu**
I attack your leader with Quickblader!
**[08:29] Gu**
And my turn's over, y'know?
**[08:31] Gu**
Then it's my turn!
**[08:32] Gu**
I play Mushussu!
**[08:35] Gu**
And then attack your Quickblader
with my Bejeweled Dragon!
**[08:41] Gu**
And now I end my turn!
**[08:43] Gu**
Time to push harder!
**[08:45] Gu**
Ascetic Knight!
**[08:50] Gu**
Ascetic Knight's effect
creates a Heavy Knight!
**[08:54] Gu**
He's got 4 followers already?
**[08:57] Gu**
I attack your leader
with my Oathless Knight and Knight!
**[09:03] Gu**
I'm not done yet!
**[09:05] Gu**
My turn!
**[09:06] Gu**
Twin-Headed Dragon!
**[09:08] Gu**
Then I attack your Ascetic Knight with Mushussu!
**[09:15] Gu**
Nice, Hiro!
**[09:16] Gu**
How about that?
**[09:17] Gu**
I end my turn!
**[09:19] Gu**
Time for my counterattack!
**[09:21] Gu**
Take the leader! Palace Fencer!
**[09:28] Gu**
Palace Fencer is a commander follower.
**[09:31] Gu**
It can increase the power of followers
under its command by 1!
**[09:36] Gu**
A soldier and commander?
**[09:37] Gu**
That's not all!
**[09:38] Gu**
Race through the battlefield!
Assault Knight!
**[09:44] Gu**
Wh-What?
**[09:46] Gu**
Assault Knight has Rush
when a commander is on the field!
**[09:51] Gu**
Then it can attack followers
the turn it comes out?
**[09:55] Gu**
Yup!
**[09:56] Gu**
Now I attack your Twin-Headed Dragon
with my Assault Knight and Heavy Knight!
**[10:04] Gu**
And now attack your leader with my Knight!
**[10:10] Gu**
And...
**[10:12] Gu**
Attack Mushussu with Oathless Knight!
**[10:19] Gu**
Nice, Kazuki!
**[10:20] Gu**
I'm thinking about the future!
**[10:23] Gu**
The old me might've attacked your leader.
**[10:26] Gu**
But I trained a ton for this day!
**[10:29] Gu**
So I'm a little different today, you know?
**[10:33] Gu**
Looks like it!
**[10:34] Gu**
Now it's your turn, Hiro!
**[10:36] Gu**
Yeah!
**[10:38] Gu**
*If I'm going to turn this around...*
**[10:41] Gu**
I need that card!
**[10:43] ---**
Draw!
**[10:45] Gu**
This is my counterattack!
**[10:46] Gu**
Dragon Warrior!
**[10:49] Gu**
Wait, when that guy evolves...
**[10:53] Gu**
Yup. When it does,
it can deal 3 damage to an enemy's follower!
**[10:57] Gu**
I knew it!
**[11:00] Gu**
Evolve, Dragon Warrior!
**[11:02] Gu**
And then attack!
**[11:15] Gu**
He t-took out all my followers, you know?
**[11:18] Gu**
Okay, now I end my turn!
**[11:20] Gu**
Gah, I was sure I had it!
**[11:23] Gu**
You're good, Hiro!
**[11:25] Gu**
Thanks! But you're amazing too, Kazuki!
**[11:28] Gu**
Soldiers and commanders! Amazing!
**[11:30] Gu**
Right?
**[11:31] Gu**
Yeah! This is what makes Swordcraft fun!
**[11:34] Gu**
I've never really had a serious battle
with you like this...
**[11:37] Gu**
But it's a ton of fun!
**[11:39] Gu**
Right?
**[11:40] Gu**
I'm having a great time, too!
**[11:43] Gu**
Shadowverse is the best!
**[11:46] Gu**
Here I go, Hiro!
**[11:47] Gu**
Let's have fun until the last minute!
**[11:49] Gu**
Yup! Of course, Kazuki!
***SIGN*** Dragon Warrior
***SIGN*** Frontguard General
**[12:04] Gi**
Kazuki's got more defense, but...
**[12:06] Gu**
Hiro's got the better board state.
**[12:09] Gu**
What happens now?
**[12:11] Gu**
I play Fearless Banneret!
**[12:14] Gu**
And White General!
**[12:23] Gu**
A commander and soldier combo?
**[12:25] Gu**
Yup!
**[12:26] Gu**
White General ups one soldier follower's
attack by 2 when it enters play!
**[12:32] Gu**
I evolve White General!
**[12:36] Gu**
And that's not all!
**[12:38] Gu**
Fearless Banneret's effect activates!
**[12:40] Gu**
Whenever another follower evolves,
create a Knight!
**[12:44] Gu**
W-Wow!
**[12:45] Gu**
I attack your Sandstorm Dragon
with my White General!
**[12:49] Gu**
And with my Knight,
I hit your Firstborn Dragon!
**[12:53] Gu**
I end my turn!
**[12:54] Gu**
Nice comeback, huh?
**[12:56] Gu**
Yup!
**[12:58] Gu**
But the battle's just getting started!
**[13:02] Gu**
Howl, Ignis Dragon!
**[13:11] Gu**
Go!
**[13:19] Gu**
I knew that was coming!
**[13:21] Gu**
Yeah, I believed I would draw it!
**[13:24] Gu**
I end my turn!
**[13:26] Gu**
Nice, Hiro!
**[13:28] Gu**
But...
**[13:29] Gu**
I'm just as bad at giving up as you!
**[13:33] Gu**
My turn! Draw!
**[13:47] Gu**
Th-That's...
**[13:48] Gu**
My own ace in the hole.
Victorious Blader!
**[13:51] Gu**
Now check out what it can do!
**[13:58] Gu**
What?
**[13:59] Gu**
Victorious Blader can decrease damage
to another follower or leader by 3!
**[14:06] Gu**
And what's more,
until the end of your next turn,
**[14:09] Gu**
any damage dealt to itself
is also reduced by 3!
**[14:13] Gu**
Seriously?
**[14:14] Gu**
Wow!
**[14:15] Gu**
Nice!
**[14:16] Gu**
So cool!
**[14:18] Gu**
Wow, Kazuki!
**[14:20] Gu**
I guess.
**[14:20] Gu**
But it's thanks to you!
**[14:23] Gu**
It's fun when I battle you,
**[14:25] Gu**
and I feel like I keep getting stronger!
**[14:28] Gu**
Kazuki!
**[14:29] Gu**
Now, I'm ending my turn!
**[14:31] Gu**
Hiro, bring it if you can!
**[14:33] Gu**
Yeah! My turn!
**[14:35] Gu**
Draw!
***SIGN*** Roc
***SIGN*** Queen Serpent
***SIGN*** Fire Lizard
**[14:43] Gu**
*A Fire Lizard?*
**[14:44] Gu**
*It can deal 1 damage to an enemy follower,*
**[14:48] Gu**
* but until my turn ends,*
* any damage dealt to it will be reduced by 3.*
**[14:53] Gu**
*Which means now's not the time...*
**[14:55] Gu**
I play two followers!
**[14:58] Gu**
Roc! Queen Serpent!
**[15:02] Gu**
Queen Serpent's Overflow effect activates!
**[15:05] Gu**
It creates an Megalorca!
**[15:08] Gu**
Overflow!
**[15:09] Gu**
Dragoncraft is amazing!
**[15:11] Gu**
Ignis Dragon attacks your leader
for 10 damage!
**[15:18] Gu**
What?
**[15:19] Gu**
Victorious Blader's effect
reduces it by 3, right?
**[15:24] Gu**
And it does 3 damage to all enemy followers!
**[15:28] Gu**
Victorious Blader!
**[15:31] Gu**
I reduced damage by 3, so it won't work!
**[15:35] Gu**
Wow!
**[15:36] Gu**
I end my turn.
**[15:37] Gi**
Kazuki's amazing!
**[15:39] Gi**
Hiro really went after him.
**[15:42] Gu**
Victorious Blader's a tough card.
**[15:45] Gu**
Your turn ended, so Victorious Blader's ability
to reduce damage to itself by 3 went away.
**[15:52] Gu**
But its ability to protect other followers
and its leader remains!
**[15:56] Gu**
Go for it, Frontguard General!
**[16:01] Gu**
A follower with Ward?
**[16:03] Gu**
Yup!
**[16:04] Gu**
But that's not all!
**[16:06] Gu**
When it's destroyed,
it creates a Fortress Guard!
**[16:11] Gu**
Last Words?
***SIGN*** Fortress Guard
**[16:13] Gu**
Fortress Guard's got Ward, too,
**[16:15] Gu**
which makes its defense unbreakable!
**[16:18] Gu**
And I won't just defend,
**[16:21] Gu**
but I'll attack with this!
**[16:23] Gu**
Centaur Vanguard!
**[16:31] Gu**
When you have a commander
in play, it gets Storm!
**[16:36] Gu**
I attack your leader with Centaur Vanguard
and Victorious Blader!
**[16:44] Gu**
I end my turn!
**[16:45] Gu**
Hiro, this is my super-full power,
which is stronger than my full power!
**[16:51] Gu**
Bro!
**[16:52] Gu**
You're awesome!
**[16:54] Gu**
You're sure to win!
**[16:56] Gu**
Wow! You're incredible, Kazuki!
**[16:59] Gu**
I'm having so much fun!
**[17:03] Gu**
Me, too!
**[17:05] Gu**
Kazuki...
If you've surpassed your full power,
**[17:08] Gu**
so will I!
**[17:10] Gu**
I'll do it!
**[17:11] Gu**
Draw!
***SIGN*** Fire Lizard
***SIGN*** Wild Hunt
**[17:14] Gu**
*Wild Hunt?*
**[17:16] Gu**
* A spell that destroys followers*
* that take damage.*
**[17:18] Gu**
*What do I do?*
**[17:20] Gu**
*What should I do now?*
**[17:21] Gu**
* If I attack now with the Ignis Dragon,*
* I can do 3 damage to the Victorious Blader!*
**[17:27] Gu**
*Then I can destroy it with Wild Hunt!*
**[17:31] Gu**
*But...*
**[17:32] Gu**
*Think!*
**[17:33] Gu**
*Think hard!*
**[17:40] Gu**
That's it!
**[17:42] Gu**
I've got it!
**[17:43] Gu**
Here I go, Kazuki!
**[17:45] Gu**
I play Fire Lizard!
**[17:48] Gu**
And deal 1 damage to Victorious Blader!
**[17:54] Gu**
That didn't even scratch it!
**[17:57] Gu**
Yup.
**[17:58] Gu**
One damage can't defeat it!
**[18:00] Gu**
But I combo it with this!
**[18:02] Gu**
Wild Hunt!
**[18:07] Gu**
And destroy one follower that's taken damage!
**[18:23] Gu**
Now your ability to reduce damage
by 3 is gone!
**[18:27] Gu**
Gah! What a combo!
**[18:30] Gu**
Queen Serpent and Megalorca,
attack Frontguard General!
**[18:37] Gu**
Frontguard General's Last Words activate,
creating a Fortress Guard!
**[18:42] Gu**
I'm not done yet, Kazuki!
**[18:44] Gu**
I attack your Fortress Guard with the Roc!
**[18:50] Gu**
Y'know... oh, no!
**[18:52] Gu**
Now you've lost Ward.
**[18:54] Gu**
Which means...
**[18:55] Gu**
Howl, Ignis Dragon!
**[19:00] Gu**
Kazuki, this is my full power!
**[19:03] Gu**
No, my super-full power,
which surpasses my full power!
**[19:24] Gi**
I-It's over!
**[19:27] Gi**
The winner is Hiro Ryugasaki!
**[19:34] Gu**
You're good, Hiro!
**[19:36] Gu**
So are you!
**[19:38] Gu**
That was super close!
**[19:40] Gu**
Thanks! That battle was incredible!
**[19:43] Gu**
You, too!
**[19:44] Gu**
That was the best one so far!
**[19:55] Gu**
We lost!
**[19:56] Gu**
What a disappointment.
**[19:59] Gi**
They were both great!
**[20:01] Gu**
Not bad, for Kazuki Shindo.
**[20:05] Gi**
* Now it's time for the Award Ceremony,*
* and prizes!*
***SIGN*** Award Ceremony
**[20:10] Gi**
The prizes?
**[20:11] Gi**
That's right...
**[20:14] Gi**
I'd forgotten!
**[20:16] Gi**
Me, too!
**[20:19] Gi**
Listen, Kazuki.
**[20:21] Gi**
You really wanted the prize, right?
**[20:24] Gi**
