**[00:04] Luca**
Mikado Shirogane.
**[00:06] Luca**
You're the chairman of Shadowverse
Battle College and its strongest player.
**[00:13] Luca**
And I'm not interested in you at all.
**[00:16] Luca**
Why do you think that is?
**[00:18] Mikado**
I don't know.
**[00:19] Luca**
Then, I'll tell you in this battle.
**[00:23] Luca**
Battle! Shadowverse!
**[00:27] Ein**
Ma'am.
**[00:28] Marguerite**
Report.
**[00:29] Ein**
Yes, ma'am.
**[00:30] Ein**
The Arc continues to resonate.
**[00:33] Ein**
The resonance values are quite high,
but we haven't pinpointed its location yet.
**[00:38] Marguerite**
I see.
**[00:39] Ein**
Is there a problem?
**[00:42] Marguerite**
The Seven Shadows have
already won four battles.
**[00:45] Marguerite**
It's possible this battle will be the last.
**[00:53] Man**
The Shadow Area monitoring
system is back online!
**[00:59] Marguerite**
Continue to monitor the situation.
**[01:01] Men**
Yes, ma'am.
**[02:34] Luca**

**[02:39] Mikado**
My turn. Draw!
**[02:44] Mikado**
I play the amulet card Fount of Angels!
**[02:49] Luca**
A Neutral class countdown amulet?
**[02:52] Luca**
Neutral cards are normally used in
conjunction with another class, right?
**[02:57] Luca**
But your deck is constructed
entirely of Neutral class cards.
**[03:02] Luca**
At first, I was very confused by this.
**[03:05] Luca**
Either you didn't care about Shadowverse
or you thought it kept things "fair."
**[03:11] Luca**
I had several theories.
**[03:23] Luca**
But after seeing you battle *him*,
I figured it out.
**[03:26] Luca**
It's because you're incomplete. And it's
stopping you from becoming anything at all.
**[03:32] Mikado**
Draw!
**[03:36] Mikado**
Amulet Card: Staircase to Paradise!
**[03:42] Mikado**
I end my turn.
**[03:44] Subaru**
Hey, is he gonna be okay?
**[03:46] Itsuki**
Playing amulet cards two turns
in a row will put him behind.
**[03:51] Subaru**
Yeah, but...
**[03:53] Ren**
Doesn't look like he's feeling so hot.
**[03:55] Tsubasa**
Hm... Maybe he's not over losing to that
Dragoncraft player from the Seven Shadows yet.
**[04:01] Tsubasa**
After all the horrible things he did to people
he beat, this is how he acts when he loses?
**[04:06] Tsubasa**
What a wimp.
**[04:07] Subaru**
Wow, harsh.
**[04:09] Tsubasa**
Sorry, but I'm not a nice girl.
**[04:11] Luca**
Mikado Shirogane,
why do you play Shadowverse?
**[04:16] Luca**
What were you seeking that drew you here?
**[04:22] Luca**
Why are you standing before me?
**[04:25] Luca**
Baphomet.
**[04:28] Luca**
I move a random Bloodcraft card
from my deck to my hand.
**[04:32] Luca**
Ambling Wraith attacks your leader.
**[04:36] Luca**
You're a child. So very, very young.
**[04:40] Mikado**
How... How can you be so sure?
**[04:45] Mikado**
What do *you* know about me?
**[04:47] Mikado**
Nobody understands me.
**[04:56] Luca**
I know someone like you.
**[04:59] Luca**
Incomplete. Childish. Unable to admit
something as simple as his own defeat.
**[05:05] Luca**
And convinced that nobody understands him.
**[05:09] Luca**
I know someone just like that.
**[05:12] Mikado**
Don't compare me to somebody
I've never even met!
**[05:15] Mikado**
I'm... I'm...
**[05:17] Mikado**
I'm Mikado Shirogane!
**[05:20] Mikado**
Both countdowns advance by 1
at the start of my turn.
**[05:23] Mikado**
Fount of Angels' countdown
reaches zero and it is destroyed.
**[05:29] Mikado**
Its Last Words draw me a card.
**[05:32] Mikado**
You don't have the right
to say anything about me!
**[05:39] Mikado**
Nobody... Nobody can...
**[05:47] Mikado**
Nobody can even get close to me.
**[05:50] Luca**
And that's how you've pushed people
away your whole life, right?
**[05:54] Luca**
But even you must've had a chance to change.
**[05:58] Luca**
Many chances, in fact.
**[06:00] Luca**
And yet, you're still uncertain.
**[06:04] Luca**
And despite your uncertainty,
you dare to stand before me.
**[06:12] Luca**
Have you given any thought to
*why* Itsuki let you play this match?
**[06:20] Luca**
I asked you if you'd thought about it.
**[06:23] Luca**
If you lose this battle, it's over.
**[06:27] Luca**
You don't have any time to waste shuddering.
**[06:31] Subaru**
Man, his opponent's being pretty harsh, too.
**[06:34] Ren**
B-But Mikado's really strong! He'll be fine.
**[06:39] Shion**
I'm not so sure.
**[06:41] Shion**
Remember the Dragoncraft player
in the Seven Shadows that he lost to?
**[06:43] SIGN**
Hiro Ryugasaki
**[06:46] Ren**
Yeah! The cool dude with the mask!
**[06:49] SIGN**
Hiro Ryugasaki
**[06:49] Shion**
Luca Yonazuki defeated that guy.
**[06:49] SIGN**
Hiro Ryugasaki
**[06:50] SIGN**
Hiro Ryugasaki
**[06:52] Shion**
Which means he's far, far stronger
than Mikado Shirogane.
**[06:55] Subaru**
Seriously?
**[06:56] Itsuki**
Yup. Luca said that Hiro Ryugasaki guy
was much stronger than him, though.
**[07:03] Light**
It's not a problem. Mikado will be fine.
**[07:06] Subaru**
And there's our boss with
his unfounded confidence.
**[07:10] Light**
I'm confident for a reason.
**[07:12] Light**
Mikado's trying to go forward.
**[07:15] Light**
And I'm sure a wonderful fate lies
ahead of him, just like it did for me.
**[07:21] Light**
I'm sure it'll be the same for him.
**[07:23] Mikado**
My turn! Draw!
**[07:27] Mikado**
First, Staircase to Paradise's
countdown advances by 1.
**[07:31] Mikado**
I play Oceanus!
**[07:36] Mikado**
Oceanus's effect activates,
**[07:39] Mikado**
allowing me to select one of two
spell cards to add to my hand.

**[07:47] Luca**
You can't choose?
**[07:49] Mikado**
Shut up.
**[07:50] Luca**
Are you afraid to choose?
**[07:52] Mikado**
Shut up, I said!
**[07:53] Sign**
Ruthful Droplet
**[07:53] Sign**
Ruthless Waterspout
**[07:57] Mikado**
I don't understand, either!
**[08:00] Mikado**
But... But it felt like
maybe with Shadowverse,
**[08:04] Mikado**
I could change somehow.
**[08:07] Mikado**
I don't understand! It's so complicated.
**[08:10] Mikado**
This has never happened before.
**[08:13] Mikado**
And there's no way you can
understand something I can't.
**[08:17] Mikado**
There's no way you can understand me. So...
**[08:22] Mikado**
Would you please just shut up?
**[08:25] Luca**
I thought I'd get a reaction
if I tried provoking you.
**[08:31] Luca**
Oh well.
**[08:33] Luca**
It doesn't matter to me what happens to you.
Or what happens to all of you, in fact.
**[08:39] Luca**
If you lose this battle, it's all over.
**[08:49] Shion**
Belphegor!
**[08:50] Tsubasa**
A powerful Bloodcraft card.
**[08:53] Luca**
Belphegor's effect sets my defense
to 10 and I draw two cards.
**[09:09] Luca**
Looking at you now makes me
embarrassed and a little angry.
**[09:15] Luca**
Belphegor, evolve.
**[09:26] Luca**
Attack Oceanus.
**[09:31] Mikado**
Staircase to Paradise's effect activates.
**[09:34] Mikado**
Each time one of my followers is destroyed,
its countdown advances by 1.
**[09:38] Luca**
It won't help you.
**[09:42] Subaru**
That's...
**[09:44] Itsuki**
Devil of Vengeance gets the ability to
attack when the player is in Vengeance.
**[09:49] Subaru**
So he's in for some pain, huh?
**[09:52] Luca**
I attack your leader!
**[10:02] Luca**
Just as I thought. You're weak.
**[10:11] Mikado**
Damn it. Why?
**[10:14] Mikado**
Why am I so...
**[10:17] Light**
Mikado!
**[10:19] Light**
The battle isn't over yet!
**[10:22] Mikado**
I know that.
**[10:23] Light**
You're not alone!
**[10:25] Mikado**
Shut up.
**[10:26] Light**
I... We're all right here with you!
**[10:30] Light**
So if you rely on us...
**[10:34] Mikado**
I said shut up!
**[10:40] Mikado**
All of you are acting like
you're so much better than me.

Oceanus
**[11:00] Mikado**
This is how I've always lived.
**[11:04] Mikado**
Alone.
**[11:05] Mikado**
My whole life...
**[11:07] Mikado**
How can I change that now?
**[11:12] Mikado**
I play the spell card Fallen Shot!
**[11:17] Mikado**
It does 3 damage to an enemy follower!
**[11:22] Luca**
And that's what makes you just a child.
**[11:24] Mikado**
I *can't* be a child!
**[11:26] Mikado**
I've always been the best at everything!
**[11:29] Mikado**
Fallen Shot's second effect turns one of the
followers in my hand into a Fallen follower!
**[11:36] Luca**
That tiny bit of pride you still
have left is proof of your weakness.
**[11:42] Mikado**
I'm not weak... I'm...
**[11:45] Mikado**
I'm not weak at all!
**[11:48] Mikado**
I-I don't think I am...
**[11:49] Mikado**
Dark Shield Angel!
**[11:57] Mikado**
It does 5 damage to a
random enemy follower!
**[12:03] Mikado**
Plus, 5 damage to your leader!
**[12:07] Luca**
This is a waste of time.
It's so clear what you lack, but...
**[12:13] Luca**
I'll be honest. I'm disappointed. Extremely so.
**[12:16] Luca**
That our battle with you all
should end this way...
**[12:22] Luca**
Diabolic Drain.
**[12:25] Luca**
That not one of you is able...
**[12:30] Luca**
to reach the *real* him...
**[12:36] Luca**
Diabolic Drain can be played
for 1 cost if I'm in Vengeance.
**[12:41] Luca**
It does 4 damage to an enemy follower
and restores 2 defense to my leader.
**[12:48] Luca**
Well, I suppose this is fate.
**[12:50] Mikado**
Why are you being so arrogant?
You only have 7 defense left.
**[12:55] Mikado**
I could end the game in the next turn.
**[12:59] Luca**
You're not capable of that.
**[13:01] Mikado**
H-How can you be so sure—
**[13:02] Luca**
Right now, you're not capable of that.
**[13:04] Luca**
Shadowverse isn't that easy.
**[13:06] Luca**
Shadowverse doesn't smile
on those who lack resolve.
**[13:10] Luca**
Power alone is meaningless.
**[13:12] Luca**
Without purpose,
the cards won't answer you.
**[13:22] Mikado**
Staircase to Paradise's
countdown reaches zero!
**[13:27] Mikado**
Its Last Words activate.
**[13:29] Mikado**
At the start of my next turn,
**[13:31] Mikado**
I move three random followers
from my deck to my hand.
**[13:34] Mikado**
I play One-Winged Traitor.
**[13:40] Mikado**
It restores 2 PP and adds a
Winged Inversion to my hand.
**[13:46] Mikado**
I play the spell card Winged Inversion.
**[13:49] Mikado**
It transforms one of my followers
into a Fallen follower.
**[13:53] Mikado**
Come forth, Dark Angelic Knight!
**[13:57] Mikado**
Its effect increases the attack and
defense of my Neutral followers by 1.
**[14:02] Mikado**
And then, One-Winged Traitor's
second effect triggers.
**[14:06] Mikado**
When a Fallen follower enters play,
**[14:09] Mikado**
it evolves both that follower
and One-Winged Traitor.
**[14:12] Mikado**
One-Winged Traitor attacks Flauros!
**[14:18] Luca**
Its Last Words restore my defense by 3.
**[14:23] Mikado**
You've got 10 defense left.
**[14:26] Mikado**
Who's losing here again?
**[14:30] Luca**
That should be obvious.
**[14:32] Luca**
I play Gift for Bloodkin.
**[14:46] Luca**
It does 1 damage to both of our leaders,
**[14:48] Luca**
and puts a Forest Bat
into play on both sides.
**[14:53] Luca**
Dance in blood!
**[14:55] Luca**
Scarlet Vampire!
**[14:59] Luca**
Its effect triggers, doing
2 damage to all enemy followers!
**[15:12] Luca**
Scarlet Vampire's second effect triggers!
**[15:15] Luca**
If my leader has taken damage this turn,
**[15:19] Luca**
it does 3 damage to one enemy
follower, plus the enemy leader,
**[15:22] Luca**
and 2 damage to my leader.
**[15:26] Mikado**
Just 10 defense...
**[15:29] Mikado**
I only have half my defense left...
**[15:43] Mikado**
N-No, this can't be...
**[15:46] Luca**
What's wrong?
**[15:47] Luca**
This is where Shadowverse starts.
**[15:50] Luca**
This is the beginning.
**[15:53] Mikado**
N-No more...
**[15:55] Mikado**
I can't let that happen again!
**[15:59] Mikado**
Staircase to Paradise's effect
activates after triggering last turn.
**[16:03] Mikado**
I add three followers to my hand.
**[16:10] Mikado**
Sahaquiel.
**[16:15] Mikado**
Its effect moves a Neutral
follower from my hand to play.
**[16:22] Mikado**
That follower gains Rush and
returns to my hand at the end of my turn.
**[16:32] Mikado**
Lucifer attacks Scarlet Vampire!
**[16:43] Shion**
Lucifer? He's finally
played a good follower.
**[16:47] Tsubasa**
Pre-evolve, it has a healing effect.
**[16:49] Tsubasa**
But if it evolves, it can do 4 damage to the
enemy leader at the end of the turn, right?
**[16:54] Itsuki**
Yes. Lucifer's effect would trigger before
it is returned to his hand, so it'll help.
**[17:01] Mikado**
I end my turn.
**[17:04] Mikado**
Lucifer's effect activates, restoring
4 defense to my leader at the end of my turn.
**[17:19] Tsubasa**
He...
**[17:26] Luca**
Is that your answer?
**[17:37] Luca**
Shadowverse can sometimes
cut deeper than any word could.
**[17:41] Luca**
I play the spell card Vampiric Kiss.
**[17:51] Luca**
This is far enough for you.
**[17:55] Luca**
Any more would just make you suffer.
**[17:59] Luca**
I play Scarlet Sabreur.
**[18:05] Luca**
Her effect triggers,
doing 2 damage to an enemy follower,
**[18:12] Luca**
and restoring 2 to my defense.
**[18:19] Mikado**
Bane?
**[18:21] Luca**
There's nothing to be ashamed of.
**[18:23] Luca**
I know exactly how you feel.
**[18:25] Luca**
So I'll put an end to your suffering.
**[18:32] Luca**
Farewell, Mikado Shirogane.
**[18:36] Luca**
And to you, too,
victors of the World Rankings.
**[18:39] Luca**
There's no place for you here anymore.
**[19:02] Light**
Mikado!
**[19:06] Light**
Mikado!
**[19:08] Light**
This battle's just getting started!
**[19:10] Light**
I know you can do it!
**[19:12] Mikado**
Let me go.
**[19:14] Mikado**
I can't.
**[19:16] Mikado**
No... I don't want to lose.
**[19:21] Mikado**
I don't want to suffer like that anymore.
**[19:27] Light**
Everybody feels the same way.
**[19:30] Light**
Everyone who lost to you...
**[19:33] Light**
Even Haruma and me.
**[19:35] Light**
We were all afraid to lose.
**[19:40] Mikado**
What's wrong with you?
**[19:41] Mikado**
You keep forcing your way
into my mind again and again!
**[19:46] Mikado**
Who do you think you are?!
**[19:48] Mikado**
Who the hell do you think you are?!
**[19:53] Light**
I'm your rival!
**[19:55] Light**
I'm your rival.
**[19:58] Light**
I thought and thought,
and came to that conclusion.
**[20:01] Light**
I understand you well.
**[20:03] Light**
And I know that your Shadowverse
isn't going to end now.
**[20:09] Light**
It's okay to lose. Nobody will blame you.
**[20:14] Light**
So just battle as hard as you can.
**[20:18] Light**
I'm sure everyone else feels the same.
**[20:21] Tsubasa**
"Everyone else"?
Don't just go deciding that.
**[20:24] Shion**
You got that right. Jeez.
**[20:26] Subaru**
Ah, it's fine, right?
**[20:28] Subaru**
We do need the chairman to win, after all.
**[20:31] Ren**
Uh-huh. I'm cheering him on as best I can!
**[20:34] Itsuki**
Even if you're unsure, even if it hurts,
you chose to stand there, Chairman Shirogane...
**[20:38] Itsuki**
I mean, Mikado.
**[20:41] Itsuki**
You could've refused my offer.
**[20:44] Itsuki**
But you decided to stand there.
**[20:47] Itsuki**
I think that's amazing.
**[20:49] Itsuki**
So if you can believe in yourself
and accept yourself,
**[20:53] Itsuki**
you can still stand!
**[21:05] Mikado**
You're interrupting my battle.
**[21:07] Mikado**
Go back there and watch.
**[21:09] Light**
Right.
**[21:13] Luca**
Why are you still playing Shadowverse?
**[21:16] Mikado**
I don't know.
**[21:17] Luca**
What do you seek as you stand there?
**[21:22] Mikado**
I don't know.
**[21:23] Luca**
Then, why?
**[21:24] Mikado**
Because I've... I've never felt this way
after someone's said something to me...
**[21:31] Mikado**
I've never felt so warm.
**[21:35] Mikado**
That's why... That's why
I'll continue my battle.
**[21:45] Mikado**
For now, that's all there is to it.
