[00:05] (Flashback) Kazuki
That was an incredible battle!
[00:08] (Flashback) Kazuki
Hiro's Infiniflame Dragon and Luca's, uh...
[00:12] (Flashback) Kai
Doomlord of the Abyss.
[00:14] (Flashback) Kazuki
Right! Doomlord of the Abyss!
[00:17] (Flashback) Kazuki
When those two collided, I thought the
stadium was gonna get blown away, ya know?
[00:21] (Flashback) Mimori
Yeah! I think it's the best
battle they've had so far!
[00:25] (Flashback) Kai
Naturally, I took notes on every play, Hiro.
[00:31] (Flashback) Hiro
It was tons of fun!
[00:33] (Flashback) Hiro
Thanks again, Luca.
[00:38] (Flashback) Luca
You, too, Hiro.
[00:45] (Flashback) Alice
Hey.
[00:47] (Flashback) Alice
Everything's calmed down now, right?
[00:49] (Flashback) Luca
Yeah.
[00:51] (Flashback) Luca
We saved the world and Hiro and I finished
our battle at the national tournament.
[00:56] (Flashback) Luca
I don't think there's anything left to do.
[00:58] (Flashback) Kazuki
You don't have to make it sound
like you're about to die, ya know.
[01:01] (Flashback) Kazuki
We can see each other
tomorrow if we want.
[01:05] (Flashback) Mauro
You're so dense.
[01:07] (Flashback) Mauro
We can't just hang out forever.
That's what he's saying.
[01:12] (Flashback) Alice
That's right. I have to go back
to being an idol, and...
[01:19] (Flashback) Mimori
Alice...
[01:21] (Flashback) Alice
You all have stuff you wanna do, right?
[01:23] (Flashback) Mauro
I'm going on a little journey.
[01:26] (Flashback) Mauro
There's a lot I want to
learn about the world.
[01:30] (Flashback) Luca
I think I'll be busy for a while, too.
[01:34] (Flashback) Luca
There's Shiori... And I have
some things I want to think about.
[01:39] (Flashback) Kazuki
You guys are all really busy, huh?
[01:41] (Flashback) Kai
So are you.
[01:44] (Flashback) Kazuki
All I gotta do is help out
at the restaurant.
[01:47] (Flashback) Kai
Exams.
[01:49] (Flashback) Kai
Kazuki, you promised your
little brothers, remember?
[01:52] (Flashback) Kazuki
That's right. I did.
[01:55] (Flashback) Hiro
Oh. Yeah, that's right.
[01:58] (Flashback) Luca
Don't worry, Hiro.
[02:00] (Flashback) Luca
This time, I'll come get you.
[02:03] (Flashback) Alice
No matter how far apart we are,
our hearts will be together, right?
[02:07] (Flashback) Mauro
Farewell.
[02:08] (Flashback) Hiro
Yeah, later!
[02:13] (Flashback) Mimori
It's kind of sad. But we're
all friends forever, right?
[02:17] (Flashback) Kazuki
Next time we see each other,
we'll all be in high school.
[02:20] (Flashback) Kai
Hopefully all of us will make it there.
[02:23] (Flashback) Kazuki
Wh-What'd you say?
[02:24] (Flashback) Kai
If you don't start studying, you won't pass.
[02:27] (Flashback) Kazuki
Please take the test for me!
[04:05] (Flashback) Luca
Did I wake you?
[04:06] (Flashback) Hiro
No. I was daydreaming about the past.
[04:10] (Flashback) Luca
Huh. Which part?
[04:13] (Flashback) Hiro
When you said you'd come get me.
[04:16] (Flashback) Luca
Oh, I remember that.
[04:20] (Flashback) Hiro
You really did.
[04:22] (Flashback) Luca
Yeah.
[04:24] (Flashback) Luca
And I was able to give you
the seat you deserve.
[04:27] (Flashback) Luca
I'd hoped the others
might come, too, but...
[04:31] (Flashback) Hiro
They all... They all have their own paths.
[04:34] (Flashback) Luca
Yeah. And I want to respect that.
[04:39] (Flashback) Hiro
Hey, Luca...
[04:40] (Flashback) Hiro
About the Shadow Area...
[04:45] (Flashback) Hiro
Is it okay if I'm the first to fight them?
[04:47] (Flashback) Luca
You want to be first up, huh?
[04:49] (Flashback) Hiro
Yeah, well, you know...
[04:52] (Flashback) Luca
The challengers are going
to be raring for a fight.
[04:55] (Flashback) Luca
We need to give them a proper welcome.
[04:58] (Flashback) Luca
And you're the perfect person to show them
the strength of the Seven Shadows.
[05:03] (Flashback) Hiro
I see what you're saying.
[05:04] (Flashback) Hiro
Okay, I'll play for real!
[05:06] (Flashback) Luca
You'll play for real, yes.
[05:10] (Flashback) Luca
But save your absolute best for later on.

SIGN That's Your Weakness
[05:38] Hiro
"That's Your Weakness."
[05:45] Mikado
All right. I'll destroy you first.
[05:48] Both
Battle! Shadowverse!
[06:13] Hiro
My turn.
[06:14] Hiro
Draw.
[06:17] Mikado
If you're a Dragoncraft player,
I suppose you'll start with Ivory Dragon.
[06:22] Mikado
Or perhaps you'll just end
your turn and see what I do.
[06:27] Hiro
You know the class well.
[06:28] Mikado
I suppose I do.
[06:33] Mikado
I've battled it more than I'd like.
[06:36] Sign

[06:36] Sign
Tied For 1st in the World Ranking
[06:37] Hiro
Mikado Shirogane,
I've seen your play record.
[06:41] Hiro
After a certain point,
you just stopped losing.
[06:45] Hiro
No... You did lose one game, I suppose.
[06:49] Mikado
I forgot all about that.
It was a fluke, that's all.
[06:52] Hiro
Yes.
[06:54] Hiro
And that's your weakness.
[06:59] Mikado
That's not a Dragoncraft card.
[07:01] Hiro
Assumptions will make it impossible
for you to change your future.
[07:06] Hiro
The class I'm using now is the special prize
you get from the World Ranking.
[07:12] Hiro
Masters of the mechanical and artificial:
[07:14] Hiro
the Portalcraft class!
[07:21] Hiro
That was the Metaproduction spell.
[07:24] Hiro
It adds an Analyzing Artifact to my hand,
[07:28] Hiro
and I draw a card at the end of my turn.
[07:31] Mikado
I see. An unusual effect.
[07:34] Hiro
Yes.
[07:35] Hiro
Portalcraft is the first key
that leads to the Arc.
[07:39] Mikado
Oh, I see.
[07:41] Mikado
It's amazing that you could create
something like the Shadow Area.
[07:45] Hiro
The Shadow Area is just a
portion of the Arc's blessings.
[07:50] Mikado
So what happens if I get all the keys?
[07:55] Hiro
Right now, we're challenging you
to see if you're worthy of finding out.
[08:00] Hiro
Mikado, you're strong and tough.
[08:04] Hiro
And as such, you're weak and fragile.
[08:08] Mikado
That's very clever!
[08:10] Mikado
I can see you think you're very smart.
[08:13] Mikado
But you don't know anything
about people with talent, do you?
[08:18] Mikado
The Arc, Portalcraft...
Neither of those things matter to me.
[08:23] Mikado
Not if they don't fulfill me.
[08:26] Hiro
No man can be fulfilled unless
he goes forward on his own.
[08:30] Hiro
I play Magisteel Lion.
[08:39] Hiro
Its effect adds two
Analyzing Artifacts to my deck.
[08:44] Hiro
You seem to be rejecting the idea
of letting anyone understand you.
[08:48] Mikado
Normal people simply
cannot understand me.
[08:51] Mikado
But I understand you very well.
[08:55] Hiro
You do?
[08:57] Mikado
You wear that mask because you have
no confidence in yourself, right?
[09:01] Mikado
I see right through you.
[09:04] Mikado
And I already know how
this Portalcraft class works.
[09:08] Mikado
It adds powerful cards to its deck,
which are its main line of attack, yes?
[09:15] Hiro
That's correct.
[09:17] Mikado
See? It's so easy.
[09:19] Mikado
To me, the world is just too simple.
[09:23] Mikado
A nameless player is no match for me.
[09:27] Mikado
I'm interested in more powerful players.
[09:30] Mikado
Like Wolfram Zerga, for instance.
[09:33] Mikado
I end my turn.
[09:34] Mikado
And Heavenly Temple's effect actives.
[09:40] Mikado
If I have 2 or more PP left
at the end of my turn,
[09:44] Mikado
I summon it directly from my deck.
[09:50] Mikado
Don't hold back. Go ahead and kneel...
[09:55] Mikado
before my glory.
[09:57] Hiro
My turn. Draw.
[10:00] Hiro
Fervent Machine Soldier.
[10:06] Hiro
Its effect adds an artifact card
from my deck to my hand.
[10:11] Mikado
Oh, yes. Of course
you've got cards like that.
[10:16] Hiro
Magisteel Lion attacks your leader.
[10:23] Mikado
Too bad.
[10:24] Mikado
Your special prize, this special class...
[10:27] Mikado
It's no more than I expected.
[10:30] Mikado
My turn. Draw.
[10:33] Mikado
At the start of my turn,
Heavenly Temple's effect activates.
[10:37] Mikado
If I' don't have Return to Heaven in my hand,
one is added from my deck.
[10:45] Mikado
I play Dark Messenger.
[10:49] Mikado
Next, I play the Return to Heaven
spell card just added to my hand.
[10:59] Mikado
It destroys a Neutral
follower I have in play,
[11:02] Mikado
then adds another copy of it to my hand.
[11:05] Mikado
And if that follower is of a certain type,
it becomes an Angel follower.
[11:13] Mikado
And destroying Dark Messenger
causes its Last Words to activate.
[11:18] Mikado
I add a Winged Inversion to my hand.
[11:21] Mikado
Then, I play Light-Winged Messenger.
[11:28] Hiro
An Angel and Fallen deck, huh?
[11:31] Mikado
Light-Winged Messenger's
effect activates. It evolves.
[11:36] Mikado
It attacks Fervent Machine Soldier.
[11:41] Mikado
Well?
[11:43] Mikado
Perfect light and perfect darkness.
[11:46] Mikado
Aren't they just perfect for me,
since I'm so perfect?
[11:48] Hiro
True, commanding both light and
darkness makes you powerful.
[11:54] Hiro
But in a sense, it's incomplete.
[11:57] Hiro
That's why you aren't moving forward.
[12:00] Hiro
No, you can't move forward.
[12:16] Hiro
Now I play an Analyzing Artifact.
[12:21] Hiro
The effect of the amulet I just played,
Acceleratium, activates.
[12:27] Hiro
Each time an Artifact follower
enters play on my side, it gets Rush.
[12:31] Hiro
If it was played, I regain 1 PP.
[12:35] Hiro
Analyzing Artifact attacks
Light-Winged Messenger.
[12:40] Hiro
Its Last Words trigger, and I draw a card.
[12:45] Hiro
Next, Magisteel Lion attacks your leader.
[12:51] Hiro
I play Demon's Epitaph and end my turn.
[12:56] Mikado
You sure talk a lot...
[12:58] Mikado
But someone like you
has no right to lecture me.
[13:04] Mikado
Portalcraft isn't all that tough, is it?
It's boring and slow.
[13:09] Mikado
First, Heavenly Temple
adds a card to my hand.
[13:14] Mikado
Then, I play Tainted Angel Soldier.
[13:19] Mikado
Its effect adds a
Winged Inversion to my hand.
[13:26] Mikado
I chose to play it as Fallen.
[13:32] Mikado
Hey, Dragoncraft guy.
Or rather, Portalcraft player...
[13:37] Mikado
You cannot fulfill me.
[13:41] Mikado
No, I'm quite sure nobody can.
[13:45] Mikado
Dark Lyrial's effect activates,
[13:48] Mikado
increasing the attack and defense of a
Neutral follower with a cost of 5 or lower
[13:52] Mikado
that I have in play, and giving it Rush.
[13:55] Mikado
Next, I play Winged Inversion in Angel Mode,
[14:00] Mikado
transforming one of my followers
back to their original form,
[14:03] Mikado
increasing their attack and defense
by 2, and giving them Rush.
[14:07] Mikado
And then, I evolve Lyrial.
[14:14] Mikado
Her on-evolve effect does
1 damage to an enemy follower.
[14:19] Mikado
Tainted Angel Soldier
attacks Magisteel Lion.
[14:27] Mikado
Too easy.
[14:29] Mikado
You're one of the strongest seven,
and this is all you've got? Hilarious.

[14:48] Hiro
I never said I was the strongest.
[14:53] Hiro
That's just what others call me!
[15:03] Hiro
You make assumptions. You shout.
You pretend you don't see.
[15:07] Hiro
But there's a world outside your own.
[15:31] Mikado
What is that follower?
[15:35] Hiro
Deus Ex Machina.
[15:40] Hiro
Her effect gives my leader a new effect.
[15:46] Hiro
I evolve Deus Ex Machina.
[15:54] Hiro
I attack Lyrial.
[16:00] Hiro
I end my turn.
[16:01] Hiro
And...
[16:03] Hiro
Spin, gears of fate!
[16:05] Hiro
The effect granted by
Deus Ex Machina activates.
[16:08] Hiro
At the end of my turn, if I'm in Resonance...
[16:11] Hiro
That is, if I have an even
number of cards in my deck,
[16:15] Hiro
I discard my whole hand and draw six cards.
[16:19] Mikado
Six cards with one effect?
[16:22] Hiro
I'll show you a battle beyond mortal
understanding. A world you don't know.
[16:28] Mikado
One I don't know?
[16:30] Mikado
That's impossible!
[16:37] Mikado
It's the other way around.
[16:39] Mikado
I'm the world you don't know.
And you're about to learn that.
[16:52] Mikado
I play Pure Angel Soldier.
[16:57] Mikado
Its effect adds a
Return to Heaven to my hand.
[17:05] Mikado
Next, I play Coal-Black Disciple.
[17:10] Mikado
It does 3 damage to an enemy follower.
[17:14] Mikado
And then, its second effect triggers.
[17:17] Mikado
Each time I destroy an enemy follower,
I add a Winged Inversion to my hand.
[17:22] Mikado
I'll be the one who wins, no matter what.
[17:26] Mikado
Return to Heaven destroys a
Neutral follower I have in play,
[17:31] Mikado
and adds a copy of it to my hand.
[17:33] Mikado
And if that follower is of a certain type,
it becomes an Angel follower.
[17:38] Mikado
Pure Angel Soldier's effect activates.
[17:41] Mikado
Once a turn, when I play Winged Inversion,
[17:46] Mikado
it does 2 damage to the enemy leader.
[17:50] Mikado
You won't be able to
stay expressionless for long.
[17:53] Mikado
You'll be crying in a moment.
[17:55] Hiro
You want me to cry?
[17:57] Mikado
No. It's just that everyone
who battles me breaks down.
[18:02] Hiro
I don't know about that.
[18:04] Hiro
I bet there's at least one person
who didn't cry at all.
[18:10] Hiro
The one who was able to
defeat you when you were serious.
[18:24] Hiro
What did he teach you?
[18:27] Mikado
Nothing. Me? Learn from him?
[18:30] Hiro
"Impossible" is what you're about to say.
[18:33] Hiro
Well, you're wrong.
[18:34] Hiro
You just can't accept your own weakness.
[18:38] Hiro
You can't accept being defeated.
[18:41] Hiro
I play Miriam, Synthetic Being.
[18:44] Hiro
When I'm in Resonance with an
even number of cards in my deck,
[18:47] Hiro
I can choose which version to play.
[18:49] Hiro
I choose La Diablotine Miriam.
[18:55] Hiro
Her effect moves a random
Artifact card from my deck to my hand.
[19:01] Hiro
I play Analyze Artifact.
[19:07] Hiro
Acceleratium gives it Rush
and restores 1 PP.
[19:11] Hiro
And the other effect
Deus Ex Machina gave me activates.
[19:16] Hiro
Each time I play an
Artifact card, I regain 1 PP.
[19:21] Hiro
Attack!
[19:24] Hiro
Its Last Words mean I draw a card.
[19:27] Hiro
Spell Card: Biofabrication!
[19:30] Mikado
A zero-cost spell?
[19:32] Hiro
It lowers the cost of an
Artifact card in my hand by 1.
[19:36] Hiro
And it adds three copies of
that Artifact to my deck.
[19:41] Hiro
I play an Analyzing Artifact
and a Mech Wing Swordsman.
[19:50] Hiro
Mech Wing Swordsman's effect activates.
[19:52] Hiro
I add two random Artifact cards
to my hand and end my turn.
[19:58] Hiro
Since I have an odd number of cards in
my deck right now, I'm not in Resonance.
[20:02] Hiro
As such, Deus Ex Machina's
leader effect doesn't trigger.
[20:08] Hiro
You're more than strong enough.
[20:10] Hiro
You're worthy of being one of the eight
who survived the World Ranking.
[20:15] Hiro
Always winning. Undefeated.
