[00:07] Gu
    The days go on and on.
[00:09] Gu
    And none of them matter.
[00:11] Gu
    What lies at the end of this path?
[00:14] Gu
    The professor tells me that studying
    at school will help me in the future.
[00:18] Gu
    But...
[00:19] Gu
    I don't need a future right now.
[00:22] Gu
    What I need right now is...
[00:27] Gu
    Luca?
[00:29] Gu
    Hiro Ryugasaki?
[00:31] Gu
    Morning!
[00:32] Gu
    So this is how you get to school, huh?
[00:34] ---
    Well, yeah.
[00:35] Gu
    I guess it's worth taking a different route
    to school once in a while, huh?
[00:38] Gu
    Something good happened!
[00:39] Gu
    "Something good"?
[00:40] Gu
    Let's play Shadowverse!
[00:42] Gu
    I'm a little tougher than I used to be!
[00:45] Gu
    Are you sure?
[00:47] Gu
    Look at the time.
[00:49] Gu
    It's that time already?
[00:51] Gu
    Crap! I'll be late!
[00:54] Gu
    See you later, Luca!
[01:10] Gu
    What are you doing here, Kai?
[01:13] Gu
    Y-You scared me!
[01:15] Gu
    And I'm doing this.
[01:19] Gu
    Finding the secret of Luca Yonazuki's strength?
[01:22] Gu
    Luca Yonazuki is a master of the Bloodcraft,
    and the strongest in this area by far.
[01:29] Gu
    Ever since he beat me, I've been
    investigating why he's so good!
[01:35] Gu
    Wow!
[01:37] Gu
    You're doing something really smart!
[01:39] Gu
    Yes. I'm still a genius,
    if not a genius among geniuses!
[01:43] Gu
    What are you doing?
[01:46] Gu
    I'm...
[01:48] Gu
    Right! I'm going to school!
[01:51] Gu
    Kai, why are you so calm?
[01:54] Gu
    We've gotta get to school!
[01:56] Gu
    Wait, Hiro!
[01:58] Gu
    What?
[01:59] Gu
    Today's the day our school was founded.
    We have the day off.
[02:04] Gu
    Seriously?
[02:06] Gu
    Yeah.
SIGN    Episode 6
    The Reason For Strength
[03:50] Gu
    Luca Yonazuki isn't interested in class.
    Just like me!
[03:56] Gu
    Hey!
[03:58] Gu
    Is Luca still in school?
[04:01] Gu
    It's still morning.
[04:04] Gu
    When's school gonna end?
[04:06] Gu
    I want to play Shadowverse with him.
[04:14] Gu
    He solved that complex problem so easily?
[04:24] Gu
    Hit landed!
[04:31] Gu
    His physical abilities are impressive as well.
[04:34] Gu
    Luca Yonazuki is a master
    of both the pen and the sword.
[04:38] Gu
    Is this the reason for his strength?
[04:41] Gu
    Should I master a sport, too?
[04:44] Gu
    No. That's not right.
[04:47] Gu
    There must be something else he has!
[04:53] Gu
    School's over!
[04:55] Gu
    Yes!
[04:56] Gu
    Where are you going, Hiro?
[04:57] Gu
    To battle Luca! Duh?
[05:01] Gu
    If I can watch Luca and Hiro battle...
[05:04] Gu
    I may learn something!
[05:08] Gu
    Come on, Luca!
[05:13] Gu
    It's still too early to battle you.
[05:21] Gu
    Hey.
[05:22] Gu
    I didn't think you'd really come out this way.
[05:25] Gu
    My intuition's pretty good, huh?
[05:31] Gu
    I graduated from this school, too.
[05:34] Gu
    It's pretty rough, right?
[05:35] Gu
    The classes are tough.
[05:37] Gu
    Do you want something?
[05:38] Gu
    Sorry. I should've introduced myself earlier.
[05:48] Gu
    Seiya Kibakura.
[05:51] Gu
    You beat my little brother, Takuma.
[05:54] Gu
    I came to thank you
    and make a request of you.
[05:59] Gu
    What does that mean?
[06:02] Gu
    Did I give you the wrong idea?
[06:04] Gu
    People get weirdly suspicious
     of me sometimes.
[06:07] Gu
    It's not like that, though.
[06:09] Gu
    Takuma was having a rough time
    until a while ago.
[06:13] Gu
    I knew he was a good kid,
    and I wanted to help him out...
[06:19] Gu
    But I couldn't.
[06:21] Gu
    And yet, he still changed.
[06:24] Gu
    When I kept asking him why,
    he finally broke down and told me.
[06:28] Gu
    It was because he battled a certain person.
[06:32] (Flashback) Gu
    You beat Takuma Kibakura.
[06:34] (Flashback) Gu
    Yeah! It was close, though.
[06:38] Gu
    Is that right?
[06:39] Gu
    Yup.
[06:41] Gu
    So first, thank you.
[06:45] Gu
    And... would you battle me?
[06:49] Gu
    I'm very curious about you—
    the one who changed him.
[06:55] Gu
    I'll gladly battle you.
[06:57] Gu
    You don't get the chance
    to fight a pro every day.
[07:01] Gu
    But... while it's true
    I battled Takuma Kibakura,
[07:06] Gu
    it wasn't me who changed him.
[07:09] Gu
    It's not?
[07:11] Gu
    Then who was it?
[07:13] Gu
    I couldn't say.
[07:15] Gu
    Would you still like to battle?
[07:19] Gu
    Why not?
[07:21] Gu
    I've got a personal interest
    in Luca Yonazuki.
[07:25] Gu
    A pro player, huh?
[07:29] Gu
    There's no need to hold back.
[07:31] Gu
    Show me your full power.
[07:34] Gu
    Of course. I will.
[07:37] Gu
    Battle! Shadowverse!
[08:15] Gu
    I go first.
[08:16] ---
    Draw!
[08:18] Gu
    I play the spell card, Commence Experiment.
[08:28] Gu
    Earth Essence?
[08:30] Gu
    Yup. But don't be that worried.
[08:33] Gu
    I won't do anything yet.
[08:36] Gu
    Now, it's your turn.
[08:39] Gu
    "Yet," huh?
[08:41] Gu
    My turn.
[08:45] Gu
    I play Ambling Wraith.
[08:58] Gu
    That's 1 damage to each of us.
[09:00] Gu
    How thrilling!
    The perfect card for Bloodcraft.
[09:05] Gu
    Do you like thrills?
[09:07] ---
    I end my turn.
[09:08] Gu
    You could say that.
[09:10] Gu
    My turn. Draw.
[09:13] Gu
    Let's make it more thrilling!
[09:16] Gu
    Sammy, Wizard's Apprentice,
    that's your cue.
[09:24] Gu
    Sammy's effect lets
    both of us draw a card.
[09:28] Gu
    That'll only make the battle more fun, right?
[09:31] Gu
    I couldn't say.
[09:33] Gu
    So cool!
[09:35] Gu
    I end my turn.
[09:37] Gu
    Draw.
[09:38] Gu
    I play Venomous Cobra,
[09:40] Gu
    and attack your leader with Ambling Wraith.
[09:46] Gu
    I end my turn.
[09:48] Gu
    If I don't get to work,
    you'll just overwhelm me, huh?
[09:53] Gu
    You'll show me the power
    of a pro player, right?
[09:57] Gu
    That's some pressure I'm under, huh?
[09:59] Gu
    But it does make me want to give you
    what you're asking for.
[10:02] ---
    Well, now it's my turn.
SIGN    Grand Gargoyle
[10:04] Gu
    First, I attack your leader with Sammy.
[10:11] Gu
    And now I'll play what you've
     been waiting for, Runic Guardian.
[10:17] Gu
    I'm sure you know,
    but I'll show you anyway.
[10:21] Gu
    I activate Runic Guardian's Earth Rite ability.
[10:32] Gu
    When you play a card with Earth Rite,
[10:35] Gu
    if you have an Earth Sigil,
    you can destroy it to activate its effect.
[10:41] Gu
    In the case of Runic Guardian,
[10:43] Gu
    its attack and defense both go up 1,
    and it gets Ward.
[10:48] Gu
    Well? I think it's the perfect follower
    for a time like this.
[10:52] Gu
    So it seems.
[10:53] Gu
    I end my turn.
[10:55] Gu
    I'm excited to see yours.
[10:58] Gu
    You're about to get the chance.
[11:00] Gu
    My turn. Draw.
SIGN    Flood Behemoth
[11:03] Gu
    I attack your Runic Guardian
    with Ambling Wraith.
[11:15] Gu
    You can't beat my follower with that.
SIGN    Razory Claw
[11:18] Gu
    Razory Claw.
[11:29] ---
    Wow.
[11:30] Gu
    I attack your leader with Venomous Cobra.
[11:35] ---
    Ouch!
[11:37] Gu
    Earth Rite is a powerful ability.
[11:41] Gu
    But can it hit me?
[11:43] Gu
    I'm not sure.
[11:44] Gu
    But I'm sure it'll be a fun battle.
SIGN    Runic Guardian
SIGN    Flood Behemoth
[12:05] Gu
    It seems that I have the advantage.
SIGN    Precious Bloodfangs
[12:11] Gu
    A pro player... He's good.
[12:15] Gu
    He's a very cautious player.
[12:17] Gu
    But...
[12:18] Gu
    The time to attack is finally here.
[12:21] Gu
    I have 4 Forest Bats on my side.
[12:23] Gu
    If I want to attack,
    now's the time.
[12:25] Gu
    I'm worried about
    that Grand Gargoyle, but...
[12:28] Gu
    Let's go.
[12:30] Gu
    I play Flood Behemoth.
[12:32] Gu
    And evolve it.
[12:35] Gu
    And attack the Grand Gargoyle.
[12:40] Gu
    Grand Gargolye's Last Words
    create an Earth Sigil.
[12:45] Gu
    Now I attack your leader
    with the Forest Bats.
[12:51] Gu
    And end my turn.
[12:53] Gu
    You're strong!
[12:55] Gu
    It's hard to believe you're in middle school.
[12:57] Gu
    Age has nothing to do
    with your strength in Shadowverse.
[13:01] Gu
    Am I wrong?
[13:02] Gu
    That's right.
[13:04] Gu
    Now, I draw!
[13:09] Gu
    Come forth, Great Magician!
[13:15] Gu
    What's this?
[13:16] Gu
    Now, Luca... it's showtime.
[13:19] Gu
    I evolve Great Magician.
[13:29] Gu
    If it works,
    give me a round of applause.
[13:35] Gu
    Three, two...
[13:40] Gu
    My Flood Behemoth.
[13:42] Gu
    When my Great Magician evolves,
[13:45] Gu
    it can destroy an enemy follower
    with less than 3 defense.
[13:49] Gu
    And now...
[13:51] Gu
    Earth Rite.
[13:54] Gu
    When Great Magician's Earth Rite activates,
[13:57] Gu
    you can play the follower
    it destroyed on your own side.
[14:01] Gu
    And if it's evolved,
    play it in an evolved state.
[14:06] Gu
    Did you enjoy my show?
[14:09] Gu
    I should've been watching for Earth Rite?
[14:12] Gu
    That was my mistake.
[14:14] Gu
    An evolved follower can attack
    on the turn it's played.
[14:20] Gu
    Sorry, but my Flood Behemoth
    will attack your Forest Bat.
[14:25] Gu
    Its attack effect activates as well.
[14:30] Gu
    It deals 1 damage to every enemy follower.
[14:33] Gu
    I end my turn.
[14:35] Gu
    Now, Luca, it's your turn.
[14:38] Gu
    My turn.
[14:39] Gu
    Draw.
[14:41] Gu
    I'm at a disadvantage.
[14:43] Gu
    How do I turn it around?
SIGN    Savage Hunt
[14:45] Gu
    I guess this is my only chance.
[14:47] Gu
    I play Savage Hunt.
[14:58] Gu
    I end my turn.
[14:59] Gu
    Oh my? That's a rather cautious play,
    coming from you.
[15:03] ---
    Maybe this is my chance.
[15:05] Gu
    Twin Guardians.
[15:08] Gu
    It summons two Guardian Golems.
[15:11] Gu
    And then...
[15:16] Gu
    I end my turn.
[15:18] Gu
    Impressive.
[15:21] Gu
    If I attack now,
    you'll go under 10 defense,
[15:25] Gu
    and end up in Vengeance mode.
[15:27] Gu
    Yes.
[15:28] Gu
    But... I won't lose!
[15:31] Gu
    To anyone! Not even a pro!
SIGN    Dark Emperor
[15:33] Gu
    I'll defeat anybody!
[15:35] Gu
    I play Precious Bloodfangs!
[15:37] Gu
    It summons one Forest Bat
    for every enemy follower.
[15:41] Gu
    And then it damages my own leader
    1 point for every Bat!
[15:52] Gu
    So you went into Vengeance mode
    by damaging yourself?
[15:57] Gu
    Now, the time of Vengeance is upon us.
[15:59] Gu
    Dark Emperor!
[16:06] Gu
    In Vengeance mode, Dark Emperor
    can destroy two followers.
[16:12] Gu
    Nice.
[16:13] Gu
    Pro player...
[16:15] Gu
    You were as good as I hoped.
[16:17] Gu
    Very strong.
[16:18] Gu
    But that's all.
[16:21] Gu
    And that's not enough.
[16:24] Gu
    I end my turn.
[16:26] Gu
    You're pretty harsh.
[16:28] Gu
    Strong isn't good enough, huh?
[16:31] Gu
    Then who can satisfy you?
[16:36] Gu
    Someone who surpasses
    my expectations, I suppose.
[16:41] Gu
    I see.
[16:42] Gu
    Is there perhaps someone
    you're already thinking of?
[16:49] Gu
    I play Alchemist's Workshop.
[16:52] Gu
    It summons a Guardian Golem on my side.
[16:57] Gu
    And an Earth Sigil?
[16:58] Gu
    Yes. Which means this.
[17:02] Gu
    Golem Protection.
[17:06] Gu
    It creates a Guardian Golem, and...
[17:12] Gu
    I destroy an Earth Sigil
    to activate its Earth Rite ability.
[17:16] Gu
    It boosts the attack and defense
    of all Guardian Golems by 2!
[17:23] Gu
    I attack your leader
    with my enhanced Guardian Golem.
[17:29] Gu
    For now, I think that's all.
[17:33] Gu
    I end my turn.
[17:35] Gu
    So you've got 3 followers
    with Ward and 5 defense?
[17:38] Gu
    Earth Rite is a fearsome ability.
[17:42] Gu
    Normally, this would be the end.
[17:45] Gu
    But that's not the case with you,
    is it, Luca Yonazuki?
[17:52] Gu
    Of course not!
[17:55] Gu
    Hungering Horde!
[17:59] Gu
    That's 3 damage to one enemy follower!
[18:03] Gu
    And 3 damage to any followers
    that share the same name as the target!
[18:12] Gu
    A good spell.
[18:14] Gu
    I'm not done yet.
[18:16] Gu
    Devour them, Bloodhungry Matriarch!
[18:26] Gu
    Bloodhungry Matriarch's effect activates,
    dealing 2 damage to all enemy followers!
[18:36] Gu
    And it damages the enemy leader
    1 for every destroyed follower!
[18:49] Gu
    I attack your leader with the Forest Bats.
[18:54] Gu
    And this is the end.
[18:56] Gu
    Dark Emperor!
[19:16] Gu
    You're strong!
[19:18] Gu
    I hate to say it,
    but I lost bad today.
[19:21] Gu
    Not that I'll be quitting Shadowverse.
[19:24] Gu
    Thank you.
[19:28] Gu
    Have a nice day,
    and say "hi" to your rival for me.
[19:33] Gu
    And if you like,
    use that thing in your pocket.
[19:38] Gu
    It's not a thank you for what happened
    with Takuma, but for a fun battle.
SIGN    Invitation
[19:51] Gu
    Hiro, I may have found
    the perfect place to battle you.
[20:01] Gu
    He ain't comin'.
[20:03] Gu
    We couldn't find the reason
    for Luca Yonazuki's strength.
[20:08] Gu
    Do you always do weird stuff like this?
[20:12] Gu
    It's not weird.
[20:14] Gu
    It's intelligence gathering!
[20:17] Gu
    Let me see!
[20:18] Gu
    No! It's top secret!
[20:20] Gu
    Come on! Okay?
[20:22] Gu
    No!
[20:25] Gu
    Brother, I said you
    don't need to come every day.
[20:29] Gu
    I'm worried.
[20:32] Gu
    Shiori, how are you doing?
[20:34] Gu
    I'm fine.
[20:36] Gu
    What about you? Are you eating right?
[20:39] Gu
    Yes.
[20:42] Gu
    You can't lie. I'll know.
[20:45] Gu
    I can't fool you, huh?
[20:47] Gu
    Brother...
[20:49] Gu
    I'm thinking of changing hospitals.
[20:53] Gu
    Why?
[20:54] Gu
    Because...
[20:56] Gu
    I know this place can cure your disease.
[20:59] Gu
    I'm sure of it.
[21:01] Gu
    But...
[21:02] Gu
    Don't worry.
[21:05] Gu
    I'll get the money somehow.
[21:08] Gu
    I'm worried...
[21:10] Gu
    Because... you don't smile anymore.
[21:15] Gu
    That's not true.
[21:20] Gu
    I'll be going.
[21:22] Gu
    Get some rest, Shiori.
[21:25] Gu
    Okay...
[21:31] Gu
    The days go on and on.
[21:33] Gu
    And none of them matter.
[21:35] Gu
    What lies at the end of this path?
[21:38] Gu
    What do I need now?
[21:41] Gu
    Shiori, I'm going to win.
[21:44] Gu
    I'm going to win, and save you.
[23:24] Gu
    Shadowverse Card Showcase!
[23:26] Gu
    Today's card is Great Magician!
[23:29] Gi
    When it evolves,
    it makes an enemy follower into your own!
[23:32] Gi
    Amazing!
[23:34] Gu
    Yes.
[23:34] Gu
    If you underestimate it and assume
    it's a mere magician, you'll get hurt.
