    So you're the Seven Shadows?

[02:21] Light
    "I Accept Your Challenge!"
[02:52] Ren
    Wow!
[02:55] Ren
    We're so high up!
[03:00] Tsubasa
    You'll fall.
[03:01] Ren
    Don't worry. There's a barrier.
[03:04] Tsubasa
    But...
[03:12] Subaru
    Don't tell me you're afraid of heights, Senpai?
[03:17] Tsubasa
    Huh? Why would you think that?
[03:19] Subaru
    Well, we took a plane
    back from Genesis Island,
[03:24] Subaru
    and you were acting weird then, too.
[03:27] Subaru
    So no point in denying it.
[03:31] Tsubasa
    Quiet.
[03:32] Subaru
    Ow!
[03:35] Tsubasa
    If you're so proud of not being scared of heights,
     my bratty junior, why don't you dive off?
[03:40] Subaru
    That's not funny!
[03:42] Ren
    It's all good, Tsubasa!
[03:45] Ren
    If it looks like you're
    gonna fall, I'll save you!
[03:49] Itsuki
    It's amazing how they never change.
[03:52] Light
    Yeah?
[03:53] Itsuki
    I mean, we're about to meet and battle
     the Seven Shadows! I'm so nervous.
[03:59] Itsuki
    You're amazing too, Light.
    You're never fazed by anything...
[04:03] Itsuki
    Unfazed
[04:05] Itsuki
    Wait, I just realized you've got
     huge bags under your eyes!
[04:09] Itsuki
    What happened?
[04:11] Draconir
    Light was up all night
    fiddling with his deck.
[04:17] Light
    I may have been nervous
     because I just couldn't sleep.
[04:21] Draconir
    I told you to go to bed.
[04:25] Itsuki
    Yeah. You can be like that, can't you?
[04:29] Light
    But...
[04:33] Light
    Thanks to that, my head is
     filled with Shadowverse!
[04:35] Light
    I'm all set!
[04:38] Mikado
    Hello, everyone.
[04:42] Light
    Mikado.
[04:43] Ren
    Shion!
[04:44] Itsuki
    Ryoga.
[04:49] Mikado
    I never thought you'd be here with me
    when I came to face the Seven Shadows.
[04:53] Mikado
    Life's full of surprises, isn't it?
[04:55] Mikado
    You really got lucky with that win, huh?
[04:57] Light
    Yeah, it's thanks to everyone
    that I made it this far.
[05:02] Mikado
    Everyone, huh?
[05:04] Mikado
    You play Shadowverse by yourself,
    you know. You're so weak.
[05:08] Light
    But others can make you stronger.
[05:11] Mikado
    And that's what I mean by "weak."
[05:20] Marguerite
    It seems that you're all here.
[05:23] Marguerite
    I will now take you to the Seven Shadows.
[05:28] Ren
    We're not meeting them here?
[05:30] Subaru
    Do you have some huge stadium
    reserved just for this?
[05:35] Light
    That would be fun.
[05:36] Marguerite
    They suggested a place they felt
    would be perfect for this battle.
[05:49] Marguerite
    Let us go to the highest
    place on this planet.
[06:04] Subaru
    You look like you're doing okay, Senpai.
[06:07] Tsubasa
    Don't say a word.
    I'm trying not to think about it.
[06:09] Subaru
    Ah, I get it. You're fine as long as
    you don't look out the window, huh?
[06:14] Tsubasa
    I said to be quiet.
[06:18] Ren
    Shion!
[06:21] Ren
    What's wrong?
[06:22] Ren
    Are you airsick?
[06:24] Shion
    No, I'm not.
[06:27] Ren
    Did you eat something that had gone off?
[06:29] Shion
    No, I didn't. Leave me alone.
[06:31] Itsuki
    What's wrong?
[06:32] Light
    A rebellious phase?
[06:34] Subaru
    Hm, that's rough.
[06:36] Tsubasa
    You guys are all rude and pushy.
[06:38] Subaru
    We're curious, though.
[06:41] Ren
    Ah! Want a rice cracker?
[06:44] Shion
    I said leave me alone.
[06:47] Ren
    It's good!
[07:01] Itsuki
    Demonium really likes you, Ryoga.
[07:09] Ryoga
    He's noise.
[07:11] Itsuki
    Did you say thanks?
[07:13] Ryoga
    Huh?
[07:14] Itsuki
    To Demonium.
[07:16] Ryoga
    Leave me alone.
[07:20] Itsuki
    Demonium.
[07:37] Itsuki
    Why do you play Shadowverse, Ryoga?
[07:43] Itsuki
    For me, playing Shadowverse
     makes me feel free.
[07:49] Itsuki
    Like I can be who I really am.
[07:54] (Flashback) Wolfram
    Ryoga Jasei, why do you battle?
[07:57] (Flashback) Ryoga
    Why else? To win and drown out the noise.
[08:01] (Flashback) Wolfram
    So why were you smiling when you lost to me?
[08:07] Ryoga
    Is it any of your business?
[08:09] Itsuki
    It might be.
[08:11] Itsuki
    I want to know more about you.
[08:14] Ryoga
    And what will you do then?
[08:16] Itsuki
    I'll get you to be friends with Demonium.
[08:21] Ryoga
    Itsuki Mitsutagawa,
    you're the noisiest noise of all.
[08:29] Ein
    Everyone, we will be arriving
    at our destination shortly.
[08:36] Draconir
    Where will we be landing?
[08:50] Ren
    Wh-What?!
[08:52] Itsuki
    It's... floating?
[08:55] Subaru
    Hey, c'mon now! We're thousands
    of feet above the ground, right?
[08:58] Tsubasa
    This can't be real, right?
[09:01] Ein
    That is the Shadow Area.
[09:03] Ein
    It's an experimental Genesis Corp
     facility consisting of eight areas.
[09:08] Shion
    An experimental facility?
    Experimenting for what?
[09:12] Ren
    W-World conquest?!
[09:14] Shion
    There's no way it's that.
[09:16] Ein
    They did not make the
    Shadow Area in service of some goal.
[09:21] Ein
    Creating the Shadow Area was the goal.
[09:27] Ein
    We will arrive shortly. Be ready, everyone.
[09:46] Draconir
    Wow.
[09:49] Subaru
    What is this place?
[09:51] Itsuki
    This means the whole
    island is floating, right?
[09:55] Ren
    Wow! Wow! Wow!
[09:58] Itsuki
    I-It is amazing, but I didn't think
    technology like this existed.
[10:03] Ein
    It's all powered by the Arc.
[10:05] Ren
    The "Arc"?
[10:07] Shion
    I've heard of it.
[10:09] Shion
    I read online that it's some kind of strange
    lost tech, filled with unknown data.
[10:14] Shion
    I thought it was just a rumor.
[10:18] Marguerite
    It's quite real.
[10:20] Marguerite
    Without the data we obtained
    from analyzing the Arc,
[10:24] Marguerite
    creating the Shadow Area
    would have been impossible.
[10:27] Tsubasa
    Seriously?
[10:29] Marguerite
    The Seven Shadows will
    explain the rules of the battle.
[10:34] Marguerite
    We wish you the best of luck.
[10:50] Draconir
    The Arc...
[10:52] Light
    What is it?
[10:53] Draconir
    I think...
[11:02] Draconir
    I think I know something about the Arc.
[11:06] Light
    I see...
[11:08] Light
    It's okay, Draconir. I'm sure one of the
    Seven Shadows has your memory data.
[11:15] Draconir
    But I don't know what's in those
    memories. I might be dangerous.
[11:24] Light
    No matter what they show,
    you're you. You're my partner.
[11:30] Draconir
    Light?
[11:33] Subaru
    And you're part of Seventh Flame, too.
[11:37] Draconir
    I am?
[11:38] Ren
    That's right! You are!
[11:40] Ren
    We're together forever!
[11:43] Shion
    It's, uh, really interesting that
    you're a talking Digital Friend.
[11:47] Tsubasa
    Wait, you lost your memories?
[11:49] Itsuki
    Let us know if there's anything we can do.
[11:54] Draconir
    You guys...
[11:55] Light
    You're my partner and
    everyone's comrade, Draconir.
[12:04] Draconir
    Hmph! Well, I'm not worried, anyway!
[12:09] Draconir
    Now, let's go!

[12:31] Ein
    Ma'am?
[12:32] Ein
    Your brow is furrowed.
[12:35] Marguerite
    I can't help it.
[12:38] Ein
    Are you worried?
[12:39] Marguerite
    Yes.
[12:40] Marguerite
    At this point, it's all out of my control.
[12:44] Marguerite
    No, perhaps it was never
    under my control at any point.
[12:51] Marguerite
    We've seen no trace of the Arc since the person
     calling themselves the "Arc Ruler" stole it.
[12:56] Marguerite
    Perhaps we were wrong to get
    the Seven Shadows to look for it.
[13:00] Ein
    No. The Arc resonates
    with Shadowverse battles,
[13:03] Ein
    especially those between
    high-ranked players.
[13:07] Ein
    It made sense to ask for their help.
[13:10] Ein
    The problem lies with them.
[13:12] Ein
    They should have been looking for the Arc,
[13:15] Ein
    but they were too focused on
    the battles in the World Ranking.
[13:18] Ein
    It's like they're no longer under our control,
    even though Genesis Corp is funding them.
[13:25] Ein
    Would it kill them to be more cooperative?
[13:28] Marguerite
    Ein.
[13:31] Ein
    My apologies.
[13:33] Marguerite
    We'll both end up as
    wrinkly old ladies at this rate.
[13:36] Ein
    You said it.
[13:37] Marguerite
    Well, what they're doing isn't wrong.
[13:42] Marguerite
    The seven strongest players
     against the chosen eight...
[13:46] Marguerite
    The Arc will resonate with this battle.
[13:50] Marguerite
    And when it does...
[13:51] Ein
    We'll be able to take it back.
[13:54] Marguerite
    Yes, that's right.
[14:08] Light
    Wolfram Zerga.
[14:10] Wolfram
    You even defeated Mikado
    Shirogane. I'm surprised.
[14:15] Wolfram
    It seems fate has brought
     you all to this Shadow Area.
[14:20] Wolfram
    That's wonderful. Truly wonderful.
[14:26] Hina
    It wouldn't kill you to make
    sense for once, you know.
[14:29] Hina
    There's only one thing you need to tell them.
    That we're going to crush them.
[14:35] Ren
    Y-You're...
[14:37] Luca
    As a member of the Seven Shadows, I'd prefer
    you refrained from undignified remarks.
[14:43] Wodin
    That's just who Miss Sinclair is.
[14:46] Wodin
    There is no helping it.
[14:51] Subaru
    Kaguya...
[14:54] Light
    You're the Seven Shadows?
[14:56] Wolfram
    Yes. The strongest seven players in the
    world, and those closest to the truth.
[15:02] Mikado
    I don't care about any of that.
[15:05] Mikado
    Let's battle already.
[15:07] Mikado
    I'm not in the mood for speeches.
[15:11] Wolfram
    You're usually more relaxed than this.
[15:14] Mikado
    What do you know about me?
[15:20] Hiro
    We're not here to be your enemies.
[15:22] Hiro
    We're here for a greater goal.
[15:28] Hiro
    The Seven Shadows pay our
    respects to you, the chosen.
[15:32] Hiro
    And...
[15:35] Hiro
    We shall set a trial for you.
[15:38] Hiro
    This trial shall be a difficult one.
[15:41] Hiro
    But when you overcome it,
    you shall know the truth.
[15:45] Hina
    Don't blame us for what
    happens next, though.
[15:48] Wodin
    We'll show you a battle like
    you've never seen before.
[15:55] Light
    Subaru.
[15:57] Itsuki
    It's okay, Light.
[15:59] Light
    Itsuki.
[16:12] Light
    All right.
[16:13] Light
    I accept your challenge!
[16:16] Luca

    I'll explain the rules for the battle, then.

    She dislikes crowds.
[17:43] Luca
    She's waiting for you in the Shadow Area.

    One more thing, then.
[17:48] Subaru
    What was that "awesome special prize" for
    the top-ranked player in the World Ranking?
[17:54] Subaru
    Our leader here got first place.
[17:57] Luca
    It's...
[17:58] Hiro
    I'll show you later.
[18:00] Hiro
    And Mikado, too,
    since he was in joint first place.
[18:03] Hiro
    I'm sure you'll be surprised.
[18:05] Luca
    There's your answer.
[18:06] Luca
    Anything else?
[18:07] Light
    One last thing.
[18:09] Light
    I want to ask about Draconir's memory data.
[18:13] Light
    Marguerite said the Seven Shadows had it.
[18:18] Wolfram
    Two of us hold it.
[18:21] Wolfram
    If one of us who has it loses,
    they'll give it to you.
[18:27] Wolfram
    Don't hate us for this. It's necessary.
[18:31] Light
    Very well. Thank you.
[18:37] Mikado
    Are we all done talking?
[18:39] Mikado
    Then, let's get started.
    I'm ready to crush you.
[18:44] Luca
    You should know that your battles
    with us aren't just battles.
[18:49] Mikado
    They're a trial, right?
[18:50] Luca
    Yes.
[18:51] Luca
    A trial to decide the fate of the world.
[18:54] Luca
    Whether we win...
[18:56] Luca
    or you do...
[18:58] Luca
    let it begin for the sake of this world.
[19:17] Tsubasa
    It's beautiful.
[19:19] Subaru
    I wonder how it works.
[19:21] Itsuki
    It's amazing, right?
[19:23] Shion
    I-I don't understand this at all.
[19:25] Shion
    Just thinking about the energy efficiency
     required for a system of this scale...
[19:30] Tsubasa
    You're overthinking it.
[19:32] Shion
    You guys are underthinking it!
[19:35] Shion
    This weird technology
    should be impossible!
[19:40] Shion
    Seriously, what is this place?
[19:50] Mikado
    We can start the battles here, right?
[19:53] Mikado
    Then, come out.
[19:58] Mikado
    There you are.
[20:00] Mikado
    Hey, I forgot to ask.
[20:02] Mikado
    Can one person battle as much as he wants?
[20:06] Hiro
    That's fine.
[20:08] Mikado
    Good.
[20:09] Mikado
    I plan on defeating all of
    the Seven Shadows by myself.
[20:13] Mikado
    So I'll have this first battle.
[20:17] Mikado
    The rest of you just make sure you
    don't lose a total of five times, okay?
[20:22] Subaru
    Hey!
[20:24] Light
    We're counting on you, Mikado.
[20:27] Hiro
    Those of you who are going
    on ahead, take this path.
[20:32] Itsuki
    Let's go, everyone.
[20:42] Subaru
    Don't worry about that guy. Let's go.
[20:46] Light
    Yeah.
[20:53] Mikado
    The Dragoncraft Seven Shadow, was it?
[20:57] Hiro
    That's right.
[20:59] Mikado
    You're one of the least
    well-known of the Seven Shadows.
[21:02] Mikado
    I'm not sure how strong you could be.
[21:04] Hiro
    You'll find out when we fight.
[21:08] Mikado
    You're the one...
[21:12] Mikado
    ...who's going to learn about strength.
[21:23] Wodin
    My, oh my.
[21:26] Wodin
    It's almost cruel, isn't it?
[21:29] Wodin
    Making them fight the strongest
    of the Seven Shadows first.
[21:33] Luca
    There's no point in holding back.
[21:36] Luca
    We're not here to be enemies.
[21:39] Luca
    But we're not here to be friends, either.
[21:42] Luca
    If they can't defeat us,
[21:46] Luca
    then it's fine with me if they
    never play Shadowverse again.
