    We'll be cheering you on!
[02:28] Gu
    Thank you!
[02:31] Gu
    Hiro's opponent, Ecila...
[02:35] Gu
    When you read the name
    backwards, it's Alice...
[02:38] Gu
    What's wrong?
[02:40] Gu
    N-Nothing.
[02:42] Gu
    It's gotta be a coincidence, right?
[02:46] ---
    Thank you for waiting!
[02:48] Gu
    Let's have Hiro Ryugasaki enter the arena
    and get the first battle started!
SIGN    Hiro Ryugasaki
[03:09] Gu
    And his opponent... Ecila!
[03:15] Gu
    Huh?
[03:16] Gu
    What's going on?
[03:18] Gu
    Ecila? Are you not here?
[03:21] Gu
    You'll be disqualified!
[03:28] Gu
    What's going on?
[03:30] Gu
    Calm down, everyone!
[03:32] Gu
    Are we having some technical issues?
[03:44] Gi
    Everybody, it's me, Alice!
[03:48] Gu
    Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What's this?
[03:50] Gu
    Hiro's opponent is none other
    than the popular idol, Alice Kurobane!
[03:56] Gi
    Hey, there!
[03:58] Gu
    Alice!
[03:59] Gi
    She's so cute!
[04:01] Gu
    Alice!
[04:04] Gu
    Th-This is incredible!
[04:04] Gi
    Thank you, everybody!
[04:07] Gu
    Can I get your autograph?
[04:09] Gu
    Is that Alice Kurobane?
[04:12] Gu
    Seriously!
[04:13] Gi
    I didn't really think it was possible.
[04:15] Gi
    But that was actually Alice.
[04:18] Gu
    Y-You noticed?
[04:20] Gi
    Y-Yeah.
[04:22] Gi
    I thought that maybe...
[04:25] Gu
    By the way, this finals tournament
    is being broadcast all over the world!
[04:30] Gu
    There are sure to be plenty of battles
    you won't want to miss,
[04:34] Gu
    so share it with your friends
    on social media!
[04:41] Gi
    Nice to meet you, Big Brother!
[04:43] Gu
    "Big Brother"?
[04:46] Gi
    All my fans are my big brothers
    or big sisters!
[04:50] Gi
    Right, everybody?
[04:54] ---
    See?
[04:55] ---
    Yeah...
[04:56] Gu
    But I'm not really a fan of yours.
[05:03] Gi
    You will be, once you
    see my performance!
[05:11] Gu
    Nice to meet you, Alice!
[05:12] Gu
    Let's have a fun battle!
[05:15] Gi
    Right, Big Brother!
[05:18] Both
    Battle! Shadowverse!
[05:58] Gu
    Okay, it's my turn!
[06:00] Gu
    I play Bejeweled Dragon and end my turn!
[06:05] Gi
    My turn!
[06:07] Gi
    Draw!
[06:11] Gi
    I can't do a thing!
[06:14] Gu
    You can do it, Alice!
[06:16] Gu
    Wow...
[06:19] Gu
    I end my turn!
[06:21] Gu
    Your turn, Big Brother!
[06:23] Gu
    R-Right! Draw!
[06:26] Gu
    I play Mushussu from my hand,
[06:28] Gu
    and attack your leader
    with Bejeweled Dragon!
[06:33] Gu
    And I end my turn!
[06:35] Gu
    Stop it!
[06:36] Gu
    You're bullying Alice!
[06:38] Gi
    That's right!
[06:41] Gi
    Thanks, my fans!
[06:44] Gi
    I won't lose!
[06:49] Gi
    Here I go!
[06:50] Gi
    Zombeagle!
[06:55] Gi
    So cute!
[06:56] Gi
    Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!
[06:59] Gi
    I end my turn!
[07:00] Gi
    There it is! Alice's woof-woof pose!
[07:05] Gi
    It has incredible destructive power!
[07:08] Gi
    D-Destructive power?
[07:10] Gi
    Oh, well. Draw!
[07:13] Gi
    I play Roc and attack your Zombeagle
    with the Bejeweled Dragon!
[07:23] Gi
    Oh, no!
[07:25] Gi
    Hiro mercilessly destroys one
     of Alice's followers!
[07:31] Gi
    How mean!
[07:32] Gi
    It was so cute!
[07:34] Gi
    What do you want?
    It's a battle. That's how it works!
[07:37] Gi
    I attack with Mushussu!
[07:41] Gi
    So mean!
[07:46] Gi
    I end my turn.
[07:48] Gi
    Alice is very sad!
[07:50] Gi
    But I'll do my best!
[07:53] Gi
    Goblin Mage, go!
[08:01] Gi
    Take it easy on me, Big Brother.
[08:04] Gi
    I end my turn!
[08:06] Gi
    T-Take it easy on you?
[08:08] Gi
    That's right!
[08:09] Gi
    Alice is an idol!
[08:13] Gi
    My turn! Draw!
[08:17] Gi
    Sh-She's an idol and a little girl, so...
[08:21] Gi
    This is rough.
SIGN    Dragon Warrior
[08:24] Gi
    I could play Dragon Warrior,
    but I wouldn't be able to evolve it yet.
[08:29] Gi
    It'd be a waste.
[08:30] Gi
    So...
SIGN    Aiela, Dragon Knight
[08:34] Gi
    Aiela, go get 'em!
[08:36] Gi
    He played Aiela, Dragon Knight!
[08:39] Gi
    A powerful follower that increases
    your play points when it's attacked!
[08:43] Gi
    Mushussu, Roc, attack the leader!
[08:49] Gi
    Hiro ignored her Goblin Mage
    and went straight for the leader!
[08:55] Gi
    Is this the end for Alice?
[08:57] Gi
    Alice!
[08:58] Gu
    You're a jerk, Hiro Ryugasaki!
[09:01] Gu
    No fair!
[09:02] Gu
    No... I'm just playing the game normally.
[09:08] Gi
    It feels like she's got
     the home field advantage!
[09:10] Gu
    She's an idol, after all.
[09:12] Gu
    But he's winning!
[09:16] Gu
    He's got all those followers in play!
[09:18] Gu
    Is that true?
[09:21] Gu
    Wh-Where'd you come from?
[09:22] Gu
    Hiro does appear to be winning.
[09:27] Gu
    But Shadowcraft isn't so weak
    that he'll be able to stomp all over her.
[09:35] Gi
    It's my turn! Draw!
[09:38] Gi
    Hey, all my big brothers and
    big sisters in the audience!
[09:42] Gi
    I'll do my best, so watch carefully!
[09:46] Gi
    Come on out, Playful Necromancer!
[09:50] Gi
    Let's be cute!
[09:52] Gi
    Evolve!
[09:57] Gi
    Her followers increased!
[09:59] Gi
    When she evolves, she creates two Ghosts.
[10:03] Gi
    And the Ghosts have Storm, too!
[10:07] Gi
    So...
[10:09] Gi
    Get him, everybody!
[10:22] Gi
    A-A powerful attack!
[10:25] Gi
    I did it!
[10:27] Gi
    Now I end my turn!
[10:28] Gi
    I turned it around, right?
[10:31] Gi
    Wow! Amazing, Alice!
[10:32] ---
    Nice one, Alice!
[10:34] Gi
    She turned it around.
[10:37] Gi
    A-And she's still got a full hand!
[10:42] Gi
    Maybe...
[10:44] Gi
    She was after this from the start!
[10:49] Gi
    What's wrong?
[10:50] Gi
    Are you a fan now?
[10:53] Gi
    No... I was just thinking how silly I was.
[10:56] Gi
    I was thinking about how you're an idol,
    and a little girl, and stuff.
[11:01] Gi
    But Alice, you're strong!
[11:04] Gi
    Really strong!
[11:05] Gi
    So I'll give you my full power!
[11:11] Gi
    The battle's just getting started!
SIGN    Goblin Mage
SIGN    Disaster Dragon
[11:24] Gi
    Now I end my turn!
[11:25] Gi
    So it's my turn!
[11:27] Gi
    Draw!
SIGN    Dragon Warrior
SIGN    Sandstorm Dragon
SIGN    Maelstrom Dragon
[11:29] Gi
    What do I do?
[11:30] Gi
    I could save cards in my hand, but...
[11:33] Gi
    No, there's no time to hold back!
[11:36] Gi
    Here I go!
[11:38] Gi
    I play all the followers in my hand!
[11:43] Gi
    Wow! Hiro played his whole hand!
[11:47] Gi
    What a rush!
[11:49] Gi
    Evolve, Dragon Warrior!
[11:59] Gi
    Dragon Warrior's evolve effect hit!
[12:05] Gi
    I also hit Unicorn Dancer Unica
    with Dragon Warrior,
[12:09] Gi
    and then attack your leader
    with Maelstrom Dragon!
[12:12] Gi
    Ow!
[12:13] Gi
    Okay, now I end my turn!
[12:18] Gi
    You're not bad, Big Brother!
[12:20] Gi
    Now it's getting really exciting!
[12:23] Gi
    You can do it, Alice!
[12:24] ---
    Don't give up!
[12:27] Gi
    You're good, too!
[12:29] Gi
    But Shadowverse is so much more than this!
[12:31] Gi
    Let's heat things up even more, Alice!
[12:36] Gi
    Right, Big Brother!
[12:39] Gi
    I'll start with this spell!
[12:47] Gi
    Go!
[12:50] Gi
    What?
[12:51] Gi
    Deathbrand.
[12:52] Gi
    It destroys any follower
    with 3 or less defense.
[12:56] Gi
    And then...
[12:58] Gi
    I play these two!
[13:02] Gi
    Wow! A powerful follower and a cute puppy!
[13:08] Gi
    This is bad.
[13:10] Gi
    What is it?
[13:11] Gi
    All she did was play two
    cost-2 followers, y'know.
[13:14] Gi
    Lyrial, Celestial Archer can deal 1 damage
    to an enemy's followers or leader on evolution.
[13:21] Gi
    But then if she evolves Lyrial...
[13:24] Gi
    Yes. He'll lose all his followers.
[13:28] Gi
    Lyrial's the perfect follower
    for this situation!
[13:32] Gi
    Has she turned it around again?
[13:37] Gi
    Who should I use?
[13:43] Gi
    I picked!
[13:45] Gi
    Evolve, woof-woof!
[13:48] Gi
    Alice evolved the Zombeagle!
[13:53] ---
    Go!
[13:58] Gi
    And you, too!
[14:02] Gi
    Now I end my turn!
[14:06] Gi
    Why didn't you evolve Lyrial?
[14:09] Gi
    Why? Because the doggie's cuter!
[14:13] Gi
    You're the best, Alice!
[14:15] Gi
    If it's cute, you have to choose it!
[14:17] Gi
    You have to!
[14:20] Gi
    My turn! Draw!
[14:24] Gi
    I'll end it here!
[14:25] Gi
    Hydra! Now evolve!
[14:30] Gi
    There it is! Dragoncraft's
     ultra-powerful card, the Hydra!
[14:35] Gi
    It can attack twice in a turn!
[14:40] Gi
    First, I attack your Zombeagle
    with my Maelstrom Dragon!
[14:43] Gi
    Then I attack the other two with my Hydra!
[14:48] Gi
    Two attacks! Wow!
[14:51] Gi
    Alice is in big trouble!
[14:53] Gi
    Now I end my turn!
[14:56] Gi
    You're so rough, Big Brother.
[14:59] Gi
    Say... Why didn't
     you evolve Lyrial back there?
[15:04] Gi
    I told you. The doggie's cuter.
[15:08] Gi
    And it's more exciting this way. So why not?
[15:11] Gi
    Don't you think so, Big Brother?
[15:13] Gi
    I don't.
[15:17] Gi
    Why?
[15:18] Gi
    I can't really say why.
[15:20] Gi
    But I think Shadowverse is most fun
     when you take it seriously.
[15:24] Gi
    So...
[15:25] Gi
    So if you're holding back...
[15:29] Gi
    Let's do this for real, Alice!
[15:31] Gi
    It'll be lots more fun!
[15:34] Gi
    It's more fun if you play for real?
[15:37] Gi
    I already...
[15:39] Gi
    I already knew that!
[15:50] Gi
    Undying Resentment.
[15:51] Gi
    With 2 necromancy, it does 4 damage
    to an enemy follower.
[15:55] Gi
    It does 4 damage?
[15:57] Gi
    What an amazing spell.
[15:59] Gi
    Listen, Big Brother.
[16:02] Gi
    I'm an idol,
[16:04] Gi
    so I just want people to have fun.
[16:07] Gi
    I don't need to win.
[16:09] Gi
    I don't need to use the cards I like.
[16:11] Gi
    I don't need to play for real.
[16:14] Gi
    It doesn't matter that you're an idol.
[16:16] Gi
    It does!
[16:18] Gi
    That's what all the grown-ups say!
[16:20] Gi
    Come forth, undead beings!
[16:28] Gi
    I-Is that...
[16:29] Gi
    Death's Breath.
[16:31] Gi
    It creates 3 Zombies,
[16:33] Gi
    and with 6 necromancy, it increases
    their defense by 1 and gives them Ward.
[16:38] Gi
    Three cards with Ward?
[16:40] Gi
    Wh-Wh-What's going on?
    That's not a very Alice-like spell!
[16:44] Gi
    But it's a big turnaround!
[16:45] Gi
    The zombie army is here!
[16:48] Gi
    I'm an idol, so I can't use cards
    that are scary or weird.
[16:54] Gi
    Even though those are what I like.
[16:58] Gi
    They'll get mad at me
    for using this card later.
[17:02] Gi
    I'm not like you, Big Brother.
[17:05] Gi
    No, we're the same.
[17:08] Gi
    You like Shadowverse, right?
[17:11] Gi
    So you're just like me!
[17:14] Gi
    Let's play for real, Alice!
[17:16] Gi
    That's Shadowverse!
[17:19] Gi
    Then show me your real strength.
[17:23] Gi
    You're going to lose at this rate.
[17:25] Gi
    Don't worry! You're gonna
    see my real strength!
[17:29] Gi
    My turn! Draw!
[17:38] Gi
    I play Ivory Dragon!
[17:42] Gi
    It's too late for that card to help.
[17:44] Gi
    It's not!
[17:46] Gi
    I believe in my cards!
[17:48] Gi
    Ivory Dragon's effect activates!
[17:51] Gi
    If you play it in Overflow,
[17:55] Gi
    you can draw a card!
[18:04] Gi
    No...
[18:06] Gi
    Impossible!
[18:07] Gi
    This is my real strength, Alice!
[18:10] Gi
    Roar, Ignis Dragon!
[18:16] Gi
    Wh-What? An incredibly powerful follower!
[18:20] Gi
    Go, Ignis Dragon!
[18:29] Gi
    Now come on, Alice!
[18:31] Gi
    Dang it!
[18:32] Gi
    Draw!
SIGN    Skeleton Raider
[18:41] Gi
    Necropolis Queen. And Feathered Patroller.
[18:45] Gi
    Feathered Patroller's effect activates.
[18:52] Gi
    Nice.
[18:54] Gi
    With 4 necromancy, it does 2 damage
    to a single enemy follower.
[18:58] Gi
    Now...
[19:02] Gi
    Now...
[19:03] Gi
    I end my turn.
[19:10] Gi
    I end my turn!
[19:12] Gi
    Big brother!
[19:13] Gi
    She's so cute!
[19:15] Gi
    And that amazing Feathered Patroller!
[19:17] Gi
    It protects the leader with Ward!
[19:22] Gi
    Let's battle again sometime, Alice.
[19:28] Gi
    Next time, for real!
SIGN    Ironscale Dragonfolk
[19:31] Gi
    Ironscale Dragonfolk!
[19:33] Gi
    When you have an evolved follower in play,
[19:36] Gi
    it does 2 damage to a single enemy follower!
[19:46] Gi
    Ignis Dragon, attack!
[19:50] Gi
    Go!
[20:11] Gi
    It's over!
[20:13] Gi
    The winner is Hiro!
[20:16] Gi
    But Alice won the cuteness competition!
[20:20] Gi
    I lost!
[20:22] Gi
    But I'll win next time!
[20:24] Gi
    Big brothers and big sisters, wait for me!
[20:28] Gi
    You're the best, Alice!
[20:30] Gi
    We'll be waiting for you!

    So next time,

[20:45] Gi
    Let's battle again!
[20:48] Gi
    Bye, Big Brother!

    Hang in there until you win!
[20:55] Gi
    She was strong.
