[00:05] Male Student 1
    Did you hear Seventh Flame is
     recruiting members from other clubs?
[00:10] Male Student 2
    Seriously? That's pretty bold.
[00:13] Female Student
    I heard they're battling
    anybody they can find!
[00:17] Female Student
    It's kind of scary!
[00:18] Student
    But I guess they're working hard,
    so I'm cheering them on!
[00:27] Light
    How about this?
[00:29] Itsuki
    Yeah, I think it looks good.
[00:31] Itsuki
    But you could use
    a few more draw effects.
[00:35] Light
    "Draw effects"?
[00:36] Itsuki
    Cards that let you draw more cards.
[00:39] Itsuki
    With your deck, you'd want—
[00:41] Gentleman
    Luxfang Kit, I think!
[00:44] Gentleman
    Arming him and making him Armed Kit
    would give him an on-attack trigger
[00:48] Gentleman
    that draws you two cards!
[00:52] Light
    Thanks, Gentleman!
[00:54] Gentleman
    If you don't even know that,
    you really must be a newbie!
[00:59] Ren
    Hello!
[01:02] Light
    You're here, huh?
[01:03] Itsuki
    Come in.
[01:05] Dragnir
    New kid, it's time to get to work!
[01:08] Ren
    Right! I'm looking forward—
[01:11] Ren
    A talking dragon!
[01:13] Gentleman
    Impossible to believe, isn't it?
[01:16] Gentleman
    Who ever heard of a talking DigiFriend?
[01:19] Gentleman
    I was shocked when I first—
[01:21] Ren
    A talking guinea pig!
[01:23] Gentleman
    I'm a rabbit!
[01:25] Itsuki
    It's a strange club,
    but you'll get used to it.
[01:29] Dragnir
    Keep the fact
    that I can talk a secret, okay?
[01:32] Ren
    O-Okay!
[01:37] Light
    That's your DigiFriend?
[01:39] Ren
    Yes. I think it saw I was startled
    and tried to protect me.
[01:44] Ren
    Thank you, Amyroth. I'm just fine!
[01:49] Itsuki
    Subaru's late, isn't he?
[01:52] Light
    Yeah. He said he was stopping
    by the teachers' office before he came here.
[01:55] Light
    He must be good friends with Andrea-sensei.
[01:58] Itsuki
    Th-That may not be why...
[02:01] Light
    It's not?
[02:02] Light
    Then what is the reason?
[02:04] Itsuki
    Actually, I just realized we don't know
    that much about Subaru.
[02:09] Light
    Right.
[02:11] Light
    It appears we need to learn more
    about our friend.
[02:15] Gentleman
    I'll tell you, then.
    Subaru Makabe is heir to the famous Makabe—
[02:20] Light
    I want to see him play Shadowverse!

    Expectations are a curse.
[03:57] Andrea
    "If you joined a Shadowverse club,
    that means you finally are feeling ready, then?"
[04:01] Andrea
    "I have high expectations of you."
[04:03] Subaru
    What kind of parent sends messages
    to their kid via their homeroom teacher?
[04:08] Andrea
    They said it's because you're not responding
    to emails, messages, or phone calls.
[04:13] Subaru
    Tell them not to waste
    their expectations on me.
[04:21] Andrea
    You can't run from the path
    that's been laid out for you.
[04:25] Subaru
    Damn it! "High expectations"?
[04:28] Subaru
    I didn't ask for your expectations!

    Is something wrong?
[04:41] Hahajima
    You'll hurt your hands.

    You looked hurt.

    No one's ever been so nice!

[07:55] Subaru
    What are you doing, Miss President?
[07:57] Hahajima
    Why, hello!
[07:59] Subaru
    What's going on here?
[08:01] Hahajima
    They invited me out for tea.
[08:05] Hahajima
    But I have to go home, so I told them 
    we could have a chat out here.
[08:12] Thugs
    Thank you so much for letting me
    get all that off my chest!
[08:16] Thugs
    We'll change our ways
    and do our best at Fourth Wind!
[08:20] Thugs
    We'll never forget
    what you did for us!
[08:23] Thugs
    See you at club tomorrow!
[08:27] Hahajima
    Let's do our best together!
[08:30] Subaru
    What did I just see?
[08:32] Hahajima
    I guess I have even more members now.
[08:35] Subaru
    You don't seem very worried.
[08:36] Subaru
    Why are you out this late, anyway?
[08:40] Subaru
    I guess you're busy.
[08:43] Hahajima
    I'm the club president, you see!
[08:45] Subaru
    I see.
[08:47] Subaru
    I'll walk you halfway home.
[08:49] Subaru
    You do have to get home, right?
[08:51] Hahajima
    Yes.
[08:53] Hahajima
    But I don't think I could ask you to...
[08:57] Subaru
    My way of saying thanks.
[09:07] Hahajima
    So what is Subaru Makabe doing out tonight?
[09:11] Subaru
    Just call me "Subaru."
[09:13] Subaru
    You've heard of me, huh?
[09:15] Hahajima
    You're famous.
[09:18] Subaru
    Being famous is what
     makes life hard for me.
[09:22] Hahajima
    I see.
[09:23] Hahajima
    If you want me to listen, I will.
[09:27] Subaru
    Worry about yourself, not me,
    Miss Club President.
[09:31] Subaru
    It must be hard working this late.
[09:35] Hahajima
    Yes, it's hard!
[09:38] Hahajima
    But everybody has high expectations of me.
[09:43] (Flashback) Dad
    I have high expectations of you, Subaru!
[09:47] Subaru
    Expectations are just a curse.
[09:49] Hahajima
    Are they? I think it's a great thing
    to work hard for someone.
[09:55] Subaru
    Is it really?
[09:57] Hahajima
    Do you not like it when people
    have high expectations of you?
[10:00] Subaru
    Not really, no.
[10:06] Hahajima
    I can go the rest of the way myself.
[10:10] Subaru
    Take care.
[10:12] Subaru
    Head straight home, Miss Club President.
[10:14] Hahajima
    Of course.
    You take care, too, Subaru.
[10:17] Hahajima
    See you tomorrow!
[10:21] Subaru
    "See you tomorrow"?

    Good for them.

    Nope. It's too early.

    And we need six!
[11:26] Gentleman
    We're missing only one,
    which means...
[11:29] Ren
    We're going recruiting!
[11:31] Itsuki
    We battled Sixth Magic
    and Fifth Sword, so next is...
[11:35] Ren
    Fourth Wind, right?
[11:37] Light
    That's why I contacted them last night.
[11:41] Light
    They agreed to a battle.
[11:45] (Flashback) Hahajima
    See you tomorrow!
[11:48] Subaru
    So that's what she meant.
[11:49] Subaru
    Okay, let's go hit 'em up, then?
[11:52] Itsuki
    No, it's after school.
[11:54] Subaru
    Oh, yeah!
[11:56] Light
    After school, we gather at the stadium!
[11:58] Itsuki
    I can't wait.

    Right!

    I want to see you battle!
[13:32] Subaru
    H-Hey, now.
[13:33] Subaru
    Why me?
[13:34] Light
    We got to see Itsuki fight last time.
[13:37] Light
    Now it's your turn!
[13:41] Subaru
    No, I'm not a real member.
[13:43] Light
    I want to see your deck!
[13:46] Subaru
    I'm not that strong.
[13:48] Light
    I want to see you battle!
[13:50] Subaru
    Fine! For some reason,
    I just can't say "no" to you!
[13:59] Hahajima
    I'm happy I get to battle you, Subaru.
[14:03] Subaru
    Great to hear.
[14:05] Kids
    Is that Makabe?
[14:07] Kids
    They say he's not that strong at Shadowverse,
[14:10] Kids
    or that he doesn't take it seriously...
[14:12] Light
    I can't wait to see Subaru battle!
[14:15] Subaru
    Oh, well.
[14:17] Subaru
    I'll try not to embarrass myself.
[14:20] Hahajima
    Okay! Great!

    Battle! Shadowverse!

    No, it's after school.

    When will they get in more of that perfume?
[15:28] Kids
    We need to hurry to the stadium!
[15:30] Kids
    Right!
[15:40] Subaru
    My turn!
[15:42] Subaru
    Draw!
[15:44] Ren
    Subaru's going second.
[15:46] Subaru
    I end my turn.
[15:47] Light
    Neither did anything on their first turn.
[15:50] Itsuki
    Yeah. But that will change.
[15:53] Hahajima
    My turn, then!
[15:55] Hahajima
    Draw!
[16:01] Hahajima
    I play Fairy Whisperer!
[16:08] Hahajima
    Its effect adds two Fairies to my hand!
[16:14] Hahajima
    I end my turn!
[16:16] Itsuki
    Okay, here I go!
[16:18] Itsuki
    Draw!
[16:20] Itsuki
    And then I play Ghosthound Sexton.
[16:25] Light
    That's a scary-looking follower.
[16:28] Itsuki
    I guess he uses Shadowcraft.
[16:31] Itsuki
    That class has a lot of cards
    like zombies and ghosts.
[16:36] Ren
    Bakelus is a ghost, too, yeah!
[16:38] Subaru
    I end my turn, Miss Club President.
[16:40] Hahajima
    Okay!
[16:44] Hahajima
    First, I attack Ghosthound Sexton
    with my Fairy Whisperer!
[16:53] Subaru
    Hey!
[16:54] Subaru
    She's got 1 attack
    and Sexton has 2 defense!
[17:03] Hahajima
    I'm not done yet!
[17:05] Hahajima
    I play two Fairies, and Elf Child May!
[17:09] Hahajima
    May's effect does 1 damage
    to a randomly chosen follower!
[17:15] Subaru
    Typical Forestcraft.
    That's just like our president.
[17:18] Hahajima
    I see!
[17:21] Hahajima
    I love Forestcraft followers!
[17:24] Subaru
    You'd get along with him.
[17:26] Subaru
    You should've played him, not me!
[17:29] Subaru
    My turn! Draw!
[17:31] Subaru
    Let's play! Trick Dullahan!
[17:43] Itsuki
    That's an interesting follower.
[17:46] Light
    Is it?
[17:47] Itsuki
    Yeah. Trick Dullahan's effect triggers
     any time it enters the battlefield,
[17:51] Itsuki
    not just when it's played.
[17:54] Ren
    So it creates a Ghost when it enters the
    battlefield in ways other than being played?
[17:59] Itsuki
    Yup.
[18:01] Itsuki
    It's a common ability for Shadowcraft cards.
[18:04] Subaru
    The Ghost has Storm.
    It attacks your Fairy.
[18:15] Kids
    That was a mistake, right?
[18:18] Kids
    Yeah. Forestcraft brings cards back to hand.
[18:22] Kids
    I think he should've attacked May
    with the Ghost.
[18:26] Subaru
    Did I mess up?
[18:29] Subaru
    Well, let's just have fun.
[18:31] Subaru
    I end my turn.
[18:32] Hahajima
    Okay!
[18:34] Hahajima
    Draw!
[18:37] Hahajima
    I attack your leader with my Fairy and May!
[18:46] Hahajima
    And then I play the
     spell card Nature's Guidance.
[18:52] Hahajima
    I return a follower
    to my hand and draw a card.
[18:57] Hahajima
    And then I play May again!
[19:00] Hahajima
    Her effect does 1 damage!
[19:03] Subaru
    Maybe I made a mistake.
[19:05] Subaru
    But Trick Dullahan's Last Words take effect.
[19:09] Subaru
    My leader gets a new effect.
[19:11] Subaru
    Last Words take effect
    when a card is destroyed.
[19:16] Subaru
    Not that I need to explain that to you.
[19:20] Hahajima
    I also play Elf Guard!
[19:27] Ren
    That's...
[19:28] Itsuki
    A special ability Forestcraft has.
[19:31] Itsuki
    Some cards get stronger
    if you've played at least 2 cards in a turn.
[19:37] Subaru
    Its attack and defense went up by 1,
    and it got Ward.
[19:43] Hahajima
    It keeps me safe!
[19:44] Subaru
    You're having fun battling, aren't you?
[19:48] Hahajima
    Thank you.
[19:50] Hahajima
    I end my turn.
[19:51] Subaru
    I see.
[19:52] Subaru
    Then I'll...
[19:53] Hahajima
    Let me ask you something.
[19:56] Hahajima
    Do you not like Shadowverse?
[20:00] Subaru
    I do. Can't you see
    how much fun I'm having?
[20:02] Hahajima
    But don't you want
    to take it seriously?
[20:05] Subaru
    Nah, Miss Club President.
[20:07] Subaru
    I'm not any better than this.
[20:09] Subaru
    It's also my fourth turn.
[20:13] Subaru
    You should worry about yourself, not me.
[20:17] Subaru
    The effect Trick Dullahan's
    Last Words gave me activates!
[20:21] Subaru
    At the start of this turn,
[20:23] Subaru
    I can create a Trick Dullahan
    that does not have Last Words.
[20:27] Subaru
    And along with it comes a Ghost!
[20:31] Subaru
    I play Playful Necromancer.
[20:35] Subaru
    I guess I evolve it!
[20:51] Subaru
    Playful Necromancer attacks your Elf Guard.
[20:54] Subaru
    My two Ghosts attack your other followers!
[21:10] Subaru
    And the last Ghost attacks your leader!
[21:18] Subaru
    I end my turn.
[21:20] Subaru
    And the Ghosts' effects banish them
    from the battlefield.
[21:25] Hahajima
    They're banished, not destroyed,
[21:27] Hahajima
    so your graveyard count
    doesn't go up, right?
[21:30] Subaru
    Yup.
[21:31] Subaru
    And even if you have Last Words,
    banish won't trigger them.
[21:34] Subaru
    They just disappear.
[21:37] Subaru
    They've got it nice and easy.
    I'm jealous.
[21:42] Subaru
    Forget that. Let's have some fun,
    Miss Club President.
