[00:04] Wodin
    I'll go first.
[00:07] Wodin
    Draw.
[00:09] Wodin
    The greatest wisdom starts
    with the smallest insight.
[00:12] Wodin
    I play Insight.
[00:16] Wodin
    I draw a card. That's my insight.
[00:20] Shion
    You never stop talking.
[00:23] Wodin
    You seem tense.
[00:25] Shion
    Just stop talking!
[00:27] Shion
    Draw!
[00:30] Shion
    I play Magical Pawn!
[00:33] Wodin
    I remember that card.
[00:35] Shion
    Don't think that I'm using the same strategy.
[00:37] Shion
    I've researched your style of play.
[00:40] Shion
    Your deck's best card is...
[00:45] Shion
    Tempest Sorcerer.
[00:47] Shion
    So...
[00:47] Wodin
    You'll end the battle before
    I can play thirteen types of spells?
[00:53] Wodin
    Guess I'll have to speed it up.

[01:49] Wodin
    Draw.
[01:51] Wodin
    Spell Card: Magic Missile.
[01:54] Wodin
    It does 1 damage to an enemy follower.
[02:00] Wodin
    And I draw a card.
[02:03] Wodin
    Shion Otosaka, you're still hesitating.
    You still feel uncertain.
[02:08] Wodin
    You haven't decided to cast off the ties that
     bind you in order to move forward on your own.
[02:13] Wodin
    In this state, can you play with speed
    and still be smart enough to beat me?
[02:17] Shion
    I-I...
[02:19] Wodin
    Either way, I hope you find
    your answer in this battle.
[02:24] Wodin
    I end my turn.
[02:29] Shion
    Draw.
[02:32] Shion
    Milady!
[02:38] Shion
    I play Milady, Mystic Queen!
[02:42] Shion
    Her effect activates, adding a
     random 1-cost card to my hand.
[02:48] Shion
    Find my answer, you say?
[02:50] Shion
    Don't tell me what to do.
[02:52] Shion
    Whether I should be with
    everyone or by myself,
[02:56] Shion
    I'll find out the answer...
[02:58] Shion
    when I beat you!
[03:01] Wodin
    Excellent.
[03:02] Wodin
    That spirit is what you need
     to become a true master.
[03:10] Shion
    Mysterian Knowledge?
[03:11] Wodin
    Its effect adds a
     Mysterian Missile to my hand.
[03:15] Wodin
    And I play it.
[03:17] Wodin
    It does 3 damage to an enemy follower,
[03:22] Wodin
    and one damage to your leader.
[03:27] Shion
    I'm sorry, Milady.
[03:34] Wodin
    Digital Friends.
[03:35] Wodin
    Such mysterious beings. A solitary man
    like myself has no need of them.
[03:41] Shion
    You say you're a solitary man, but you're
     in a gang with your buddies, too, right?
[03:46] Shion
    You're part of the Seven Shadows, aren't you?
[03:49] Wodin
    I'm simply interested in the skill of the Seven
     Shadows and the information they possess.
[03:55] Wodin
    They are, in a sense, my research subjects.
[03:58] Shion
    You're such a disgusting person.
[04:03] Wodin
    Are we really any different?
[04:05] Shion
    Shut up!
[04:06] Shion
    Spell Card: Blitz!
[04:09] Shion
    It gives an effect to my leader.
[04:12] Shion
    I end my turn.
[04:13] Wodin
    My turn.
[04:15] Wodin
    I play Golem Assault.
[04:18] Wodin
    It adds a Conjure Guardian to my hand.
[04:22] Wodin
    Conjure Guardian.
[04:24] Wodin
    It summons a Guardian Golem.
[04:30] Wodin
    I end my turn.
[04:31] Wodin
    Now, show me your strength.
[04:42] Tsubasa
    Shion seems like she's doing okay, but...
[04:45] Ren
    Is something wrong?
[04:47] Tsubasa
    She's been acting really
    strange lately, right?
[04:54] Ren
    True.
[04:56] Tsubasa
    This whole time, I haven't
    been sure what to say to her.
[05:01] Tsubasa
    It's hard being her senpai.
[05:03] Ren
    Uh-huh, uh-huh.
[05:05] Ren
    Let's go! We can go talk to her!
[05:09] Tsubasa
    No, we can't just barge in.
[05:10] Ren
    Sure we can!
[05:12] Tsubasa
    I don't know if it's okay to get involved.
[05:14] Tsubasa
    It might be better to give her space
     to think about it on her own.
[05:17] Tsubasa
    And besides, I haven't solved my
    own problems. What would I tell her?
[05:23] Ren
    I think the reason we were able to get close
    to Shion is 'cause you and I chased after her.
[05:29] Ren
    So I think we should just do that again!
[05:32] Ren
    And even if we talk to her and
     it doesn't work, we'll be fine!
[05:36] Ren
    I just know we will!
[05:39] Tsubasa
    Am I just naturally gloomy?
[05:42] Ren
    Are you?
[05:44] Tsubasa
    Compared to you, I am.
[05:46] Ren
    Mwe?
[05:47] Tsubasa
    "Mwe"?
[05:48] Ren
    But that's part of who you are, I'm sure.
[05:52] Tsubasa
    I guess we'll go, then.
[05:55] Ren
    Yeah! Let's go fix whatever's bothering Shion!
[05:59] Ren
    Tsubasa!
[06:01] Tsubasa
    Hey, watch your step.
[06:03] Ren
    Roger!
[06:04] Tsubasa
    Sheesh.
[06:08] Shion
    I'll show you my new deck! Draw!
[06:13] Shion
    The leader effect Blitz gave me activates.
[06:16] Shion
    At the start of my turn,
    it summons two Magical Pawns.
[06:19] Shion
    Next, I play the spell card Sacrifice.
[06:25] Shion
    It destroys one of my followers
    and summons a Magical Pawn.
[06:30] Shion
    Next, I draw a card.
[06:32] Shion
    And I'm not done!
[06:33] Shion
    Spell Card: Magical Strategy!
[06:36] Shion
    It summons two Magical Pawns.
[06:40] Shion
    Evolve!
[06:46] Wodin
    So you're building up your counter
    while taking down my Guardian Golem?
[06:50] Wodin
    Not a bad idea, but not
    the best, I don't think.
[06:53] Shion
    I know that. I'm gonna go one better.
[06:57] Shion
    I play Skewer!
[06:59] Shion
    I select one follower from
    my side and one from yours,
[07:02] Shion
    and they do damage to each
    other equal to their attacks.
[07:06] Shion
    But if I have three or
    more followers in play,
[07:08] Shion
    only my follower does damage.
[07:11] Shion
    And I draw a card.
[07:14] Shion
    Then, I end my turn.
[07:16] Wodin
    I see.
[07:17] Wodin
    Now, let me show you what I've got.
[07:23] Wodin
    Spell Card: Nova Flare!
[07:27] Wodin
    It does 2 damage to all followers.
[07:35] Shion
    That's...
[07:39] Wodin
    I did 1 damage with Angelic Snipe.
[07:43] Wodin
    That's all of them.
[07:47] Wodin
    I was curious about you and
    your deck, so I did my research.
[07:52] Wodin
    Of course I'd be able to turn the tables.
[07:55] Shion
    Why?
[07:58] Shion
    Why are you so interested in me?
[08:01] Wodin
    I'm sure you realize why on some level.
[08:05] Wodin
    Very well. Let's see...
[08:08] Wodin
    There are several reasons
    I'm interested in you.
[08:11] Wodin
    For one, we're both Runecraft players.
[08:14] Wodin
    For another, you're still young.
[08:16] Wodin
    And you also remind me of myself.
[08:21] Wodin
    Your career, your situation, your attitude...
     You're like me in so many ways.
[08:27] Wodin
    Being yourself makes others hate you,
     and makes you reject others.
[08:33] Wodin
    Hence your refusal to attend
    Shadowverse College, correct?
[08:38] Wodin
    I find that very impressive.
[08:40] Wodin
    You enrolled, but didn't ingratiate
    yourself with the students there.
[08:45] Wodin
    To my knowledge,
    only two people have done that.
[08:47] Wodin
    One is Mr. Jasei. The other is yourself.
[08:51] Wodin
    He fascinated me, too,
    but Mr. Wolfram seemed interested in him,
[08:56] Wodin
    and well, he's clearly
     very different from me.
[09:00] Wodin
    That's why I came to the conclusion that
     you were the most interesting one of all.
[09:05] Shion
    My turn! Draw!
[09:09] Shion
    The effect given to me by
    the spell card Blitz activates.
[09:12] Shion
    I summon a Magical Rook
    at the start of my turn.
[09:17] Shion
    And then, I play Magical Rook.
[09:23] Shion
    Magical Rook's effect activates.
[09:26] Shion
    It summons two Magical Pawns
     and gives them Ward.
[09:29] Shion
    Next, I play the spell card Fate's Hand!
[09:33] Shion
    It adds two cards to my hand.
[09:37] Wodin
    Hm, I see.
[09:39] Wodin
    With just two cards, you've filled out
    your board and refilled your hand.
[09:44] Wodin
    Now, turn 6 has just begun.
[09:47] Wodin
    Let me give you some advice
    to help you find your answer.
[09:52] Wodin
    Don't you want to know
    what's so valuable about solitude?
[09:57] Wodin
    Listen closely. The path of solitude...
[10:02] Wodin
    is a path to forbidden secrets.
[10:06] Wodin
    Now, let me show you some forbidden power.
[10:10] Wodin
    I play Cursed Mage.
[10:20] Shion
    That's...
[10:20] Wodin
    Just as your deck has evolved,
    so too has mine.
[10:26] Wodin
    Cursed Mage's effect activates.
[10:29] Wodin
    I discard two cards in my hand
    and add a Sinner's Spell: Gate.
[10:33] Wodin
    And the effect of the Accursed Chimera
    card I just discarded activates.
[10:38] Wodin
    When it is discarded, it summons an
    Accursed Chimera with 2 attack and 3 defense.
[10:45] Wodin
    I end my turn,
    and Accursed Chimera's effect activates.
[10:49] Wodin
    It does damage equal to its attack to
    all enemy followers and the enemy leader.
[10:58] Wodin
    Humans are weak. I am no different.
[11:02] Wodin
    Out of concern, worry, and fear for another,
    I could refuse to take that step forward.
[11:09] Wodin
    The possibility exists.
[11:12] Wodin
    And that's why I let
    no one stand by my side.
[11:16] Wodin
    I choose solitude.
[11:17] Wodin
    And that's how I gain new knowledge.
[11:21] Wodin
    That's how I can aim
    for the highest heights.
[11:23] Wodin
    How I can reach the highest heights!
[11:25] Shion
    What are the "highest heights"?
[11:27] Wodin
    Excellent question.
[11:32] Wodin
    I've turned off the cameras
    to give us some privacy.
[11:36] Wodin
    I know many things you don't. Things you have
    no way of knowing, and things you shouldn't know.
[11:44] Wodin
    About the Arc, for instance.
[11:47] Shion
    The rumors say it is data you gain by
    becoming a true master of Shadowverse.
[11:52] Shion
    It lets you control the world, right?
[11:56] Shion
    Online, they say it's from
    an ancient supercivilization.
[11:59] Shion
    My hypothesis is that it was created by
    Leon Aurenche, the founder of Genesis Corp.
[12:05] Shion
    It contains data on tech that's far beyond what
    we have now. That's the true nature of the Arc.
[12:10] Wodin
    Oh? And you have evidence of this?
[12:13] Shion
    Hmph. Of course I do.
[12:15] Shion
    Don't underestimate me.
[12:21] Shion
    First, when Leon Aurenche
    ran the Genesis Corporation,
[12:26] Shion
    they created several super-technologies.
[12:28] Shion
    The large-scale optical
    augmented reality system, VERSUS,
[12:32] Shion
    and Shadowverse itself, for instance.
[12:35] Shion
    So it wouldn't be out of the question
    if they'd had a few more things like that.
[12:41] Shion
    Spell Card: Fork.
[12:43] Shion
    One of my followers gains the ability
    to attack twice, and I draw a card.
[12:48] Wodin
    You're clever.
[12:50] Shion
    Is that in reaction to
    my hypothesis? Or this move?
[12:55] Wodin
    Let's go with both.
[12:57] Wodin
    Now, continue your hypothesis,
    and make your next move.
[13:00] Shion
    The Arc's data is said to be very mysterious,
[13:03] Shion
    but Genesis Corp has succeeded
     in analyzing some of it.
[13:07] Shion
    That analysis helped them
    to make the Shadow Area,
[13:11] Shion
    a place far beyond the reality we know.
[13:13] Shion
    Which means, to some degree,
    the Arc was under Genesis Corp's control!
[13:18] Shion
    The effect given by Fork activates.
[13:20] Shion
    If Fork's target is a Magical Knight,
[13:22] Shion
    the next damage Magical Knight
    takes will be reduced to zero!
[13:31] Shion
    Magical Knight's on-attack
    effect triggers twice.
[13:36] Wodin
    Wonderful.
[13:38] Wodin
    Now that you've lost
    eight Pawns, they gain Storm.
[13:42] Shion
    And my hypothesis?
[13:44] Wodin
    It is also wonderful.
[13:46] Wodin
    The Arc is a collection
    of supertechnologies.
[13:49] Wodin
    You did well to figure it out
    from such limited evidence.
[13:52] Shion
    Your "heights" aren't that special, huh?
[13:56] Wodin
    Oh, I don't know about that.
[13:59] Shion
    You underestimate me!
    First, I play Blade Mage!
[14:04] Wodin
    Sacrificed to remove one of my followers?
[14:06] Shion
    I told you, you underestimate me!
[14:08] Shion
    Evolve, Blade Mage!
[14:18] Shion
    Next, I play the spell card Piercing Rune.
[14:21] Shion
    Whenever I evolve a follower,
    I get to play it for a cost of 2.
[14:26] Shion
    It does 2 damage to an enemy follower
    and 2 damage to your leader!
[14:35] Shion
    And then, I attack your leader
    with my followers that have Storm!
[14:43] Shion
    You're helpless in the face of
     my counterattack. I end my turn.

[15:01] Wodin
    Wonderful.
[15:02] Wodin
    But not quite enough.
[15:04] Wodin
    Hypotheses based on internet rumors
     will never lead you to the truth.
[15:11] Shion
    Then, tell me the truth.
[15:13] Wodin
    I know what the Arc really is.
[15:18] Shion
    B-But you can't find that info
     anywhere on the internet.
[15:21] Wodin
    You can if you know where to look.
    In Genesis Corp's databases, for instance.
[15:26] Shion
    Y-You're working with them,
    and you're a pro, right? You can't just...
[15:33] Wodin
    Yes. Yes, yes, yes. That's the thing.
    That's where the problem lies.
[15:45] Wodin
    Genesis Corp. Being a pro player.
    The Seven Shadows.
[15:49] Wodin
    All these things that surround you
     interrupt your research.
[15:53] Wodin
    I am solitary, and therefore
    do not need to fear the forbidden.
[15:57] Wodin
    That's why I can aim for the heights of knowledge.
     I can know everything there is to know.
[16:03] Wodin
    The Tree of Woe. The Nexus.
    The legendary cards.
[16:06] Wodin
    The power of the Nexus
    that Leon Aurenche used.
[16:10] Wodin
    What happened three years ago.
    What was gained and what was lost.
[16:14] Wodin
    I want to know. I want to know it all.
[16:17] Wodin
    I couldn't bear dying without knowing!
[16:22] Wodin
    Shion Otosaka, this is what
    I've wanted to tell you.
[16:26] Wodin
    If you do not fear the forbidden,
     then be solitary.
[16:29] Shion
    What is that spell?
[16:31] Wodin
    The spell card Sinner's Spell: Gate.
[16:35] Wodin
    I discard a card from my hand, give my
    leader a new ability, and draw a card.
[16:40] Wodin
    And then, Darkness Witch's effect activates.
[16:43] Wodin
    Each time I play a card,
    I draw a card and restore 3 defense.
[16:50] Wodin
    Now, evolve!
[16:52] Wodin
    Her on-evolve effect triggers.
[16:56] Wodin
    Darkness Witch's on-evolve effect
[16:59] Wodin
    destroys all followers with
    the lowest attack on the board!
[17:04] Wodin
    And Spellboosts all non-Spellboosted
    cards that are 7-cost or higher.
[17:10] Wodin
    I play my Spellboosted Chimera.
[17:15] Wodin
    It does 4 damage to an enemy follower.
[17:18] Wodin
    And playing a card triggers
    Darkness Witch's effect again.
[17:29] Shion
    H-He's strong.
[17:31] Wodin
    Now, what will you do? What will you choose?
[17:34] Wodin
    To stay in gentle warmth of Seventh Flame?
     Or to aim for the highest heights alone?
[17:39] Shion
    I...
[17:41] Shion
    I...
[17:50] Shion
    I don't know.
[17:52] Wodin
    Hm. A more sentimental
    answer than I was expecting.
[17:56] Shion
    Because Seventh Flame...
    everyone... decided to be my friend...
[18:03] Shion
    Even though I'm like this...
[18:07] Shion
    Spell Card: Concentration.
[18:11] Shion
    I draw two cards.
[18:14] Shion
    I play the spell card Check.
[18:17] Shion
    I summon four Magical Pawns.
[18:19] Shion
    They get Rush, plus an effect that
    prevents them from attacking your leader.
[18:24] Shion
    I attack!
[18:29] Wodin
    I counterattack.
[18:34] Wodin
    "I don't know" is not an acceptable answer.
[18:36] Wodin
    I play Witch of Foresight.
[18:42] Wodin
    I move a random spell card
     from my deck to my hand.
[18:48] Wodin
    Grand Summoning.
[18:58] Wodin
    Now, let me say this. I understand you.
    I understand exactly what you're thinking.
[19:03] Wodin
    Even during the World Ranking,
    you refused to show yourself!
[19:07] Wodin
    That's just how scared you are of people.
[19:10] Wodin
    In a few minutes, you won't even be able
    to move because you're so scared of others.
[19:16] Wodin
    Wouldn't it be better to choose
    solitude before it gets to that?
[19:21] Shion
    I can't help it.
[19:23] Shion
    They don't like me.
[19:26] Shion
    I want to fix it and I can't.
[19:29] Shion
    I'm mean. I talk too much. All of it.
[19:33] Wodin
    Will Seventh Flame
    protect you your whole life?
[19:37] Wodin
    Will you rely on them forever?
[19:42] Shion
    I...
[19:45] Tsubasa
    Shion!
[19:46] Ren
    Shion!
[19:48] Shion
    T-Tsubasa. Ren.
[19:56] Tsubasa
    Did you say something to Shion?
     Or do something to her?
[20:00] Tsubasa
    She's been acting weird this
    whole time. Is that your fault?
[20:03] Wodin
    Indeed it is. I'm interacting with her
     and influencing her. Is that an issue?
[20:09] Tsubasa
    Don't you dare. If you try and—
[20:11] Wodin
    What a strange thing to say.
    You and I are in the same position.
[20:16] Tsubasa
    Huh?
[20:17] Wodin
    Seventh Flame interacts with her
    and influences her, too. Am I wrong?
[20:23] Wodin
    But I'm the evil one
    and you're the good guys?
[20:27] Wodin
    That's simple arrogance.
[20:29] Wodin
    We're the same.
[20:31] Wodin
    I exclude others. And so do you.
[20:34] Wodin
    What you're doing is building a collective.
    Encouraging assimilation.
[20:39] Wodin
    Creating a system where those
    who do not fit in are rejected.
[20:42] Wodin
    You take an aggressive, merciless stance
     toward anyone who's not one of you.
[20:47] Wodin
    Isn't that right?
[20:48] Ren
    T-Tsubasa?
[20:50] Tsubasa
    What's this guy's problem?
[20:52] Shion
    He's an awful person. He just talks
    and talks and tries to manipulate you.
[20:59] Shion
    He talks like he wants to help me,
[21:02] Shion
    but he's not actually
    interested in me at all.
[21:05] Shion
    He wants to see what'll happen if he meddles
     in the future of a younger version of himself.
[21:10] Shion
    This is nothing more than an
     experiment to you, is it? Am I wrong?
[21:15] Wodin
    Wonderful.
[21:16] Shion
    He's a terrible person.
[21:21] Shion
    But I understand what he's saying.
[21:24] Shion
    Because I'm the same as him.
[21:28] Shion
    You two know that.
[21:30] Ren
    No way! You're not terrible at all!
     You're an important friend!
[21:35] Ren
    I know all the good things about you—
[21:37] Wodin
    Enough talk.
[21:39] Wodin
    Give me your answer, Shion Otosaka.
[21:42] Wodin
    An answer is all you need.
[21:44] Wodin
    A conclusion is all that matters.
[21:46] Wodin
    I'm battling you now to hear what you'll say.

    I guess it gives your leader
    an effect if you play it.
[23:33] Itsuki
    What's going to happen?
[23:35] Itsuki
    I'm scared, but I kinda want to see.

[23:41] Shion
    I know. But we can't stay

    Maybe you're right.
