[00:37] Gu

[00:40] Gu

SIGN    Episode 9
    The Curtain Rises! A Beautiful Witch Show!
[02:20] Gu
    I heard you helped out Takuma.
[02:22] Gu
    Takuma?
[02:26] Gu
    I see.
[02:28] Gu
    Are you Takuma Kibakura's...
[02:29] Gu
    Yup. His brother.
[02:31] Gu
    Nice to meet you.
[02:33] Gu
    Let's have a good battle.
[02:35] Gu
    Yes, let's—
[02:38] Gu
    Huh?
[02:44] Gu
    I owe you a debt.
[02:47] Gu
    So I won't be holding back at all.
[02:49] Gu
    Let's get started!
[02:51] Gu
    The quarterfinals are about to begin!
[02:54] Gu
    Battle! Shadowverse!
[03:16] Gu
    Draw!
[03:18] Gu
    I end my turn, I guess.
[03:20] Gu
    Go. Your turn.
[03:22] Gu
    Okay! So I'll...
[03:27] Gu
    play Bejeweled Dragon!
[03:30] Gu
    And end my turn.
[03:32] Gu
    My turn, then.
[03:35] Gu
    I play Apprentice Alchemist from my hand.
[03:38] Gu
    She can't do anything right now,
    so I end my turn.
[03:42] Gu
    My turn!
SIGN    Dragon Guard
SIGN    Dragon Oracle
[03:45] Gu
    If I use Dragon Oracle,
    I can increase my play points.
[03:49] Gu
    But I'm going to attack.
[03:50] Gu
    I attack your Apprentice Alchemist
    with my Bejeweled Dragon!
[03:56] Gu
    But I'm not done yet!
[03:58] Gu
    Burn her, Fire Lizard!
[04:04] Gu
    A good move.
[04:06] Gu
    Thanks.
[04:08] Gu
    I end my turn.
[04:09] Gu
    Okay, time to begin the show, then.
[04:13] Gu
    Amulet card: Elementary Alchemy.
[04:20] Gu
    This card has an Earth Sigil.
[04:23] Gu
    It creates an Earth Sigil
    and Clay Golem when played.
[04:27] Gu
    "Earth Sigil"?
[04:30] Gu
    You'll know soon.
[04:32] Gu
    Get ready to be surprised.
[04:35] Gu
    I end my turn.
[04:36] Gu
    My turn! Draw!
[04:39] Gu
    I play Mushussu!
[04:42] Gu
    And attack your Clay Golem
    with my Fire Lizard!
[04:48] Gu
    Hiro isn't scared
    of this pro player at all!
[04:52] Gu
    I end my turn!
[04:53] Gu
    How about that?
[04:55] Gu
    Well done.
[04:56] Gu
    I can see why you were able
    to change Takuma.
[04:59] Gu
    But I can't lose, either.
[05:01] Gu
    So let's begin the show.
[05:05] Gu
    That's the one from before.
[05:06] Gu
    Yup.
[05:08] Gu
    But she's a little different now.
[05:17] Gu
    A c-card was added to your hand?
[05:19] Gu
    Apprentice Alchemist activated her Earth Rite.
[05:23] Gu
    This adds Conjure Guardian to my hand.
[05:27] Gu
    Come forth, Guardian Golem!
[05:32] Gu
    There it is!
[05:34] Gu
    Seiya's famous Earth Rite combos!
[05:37] Gu
    W-Wow!
[05:40] Gu
    Are you enjoying the show?
[05:42] Gu
    Yeah!
[05:43] Gu
    You're both Runecrafters,
    but you're totally different from Kai.
[05:46] Gu
    But there's more to come.
[05:49] Gu
    The show's just begun.
[05:51] Gu
    I know.
[05:52] Gu
    Now... it's my turn!
[05:56] Gu
    Seiya's strong!
[05:58] Gu
    Yes. You can tell he's a pro.
[06:01] Gu
    He's not spending resources
    to take out evolved followers.
[06:04] Gu
    Instead, he's gaining advantage by playing
     followers with powerful on-evolve effects.
[06:07] Gu
    Every move he makes is the most efficient.
[06:11] Gu
    Evolving his Grand Gargoyle while making sure
    his opponent was thinking about Last Words
[06:15] Gu
    was an excellent play.
[06:17] Gu
    Will Hiro be okay?
[06:19] Gu
    I don't really know,
    but I can tell that Seiya is amazing.
[06:26] Gu
    But the battle is still only
     in its middle stages.
[06:29] Gu
    There's no telling what will happen.
[06:35] Gu
    Here I go!
[06:36] Gu
    I play Disaster Dragon and Dragonrider!
[06:40] Gu
    When in Overflow,
    Dragonrider's attack goes up by 2!
[06:44] Gu
    I evolve Disaster Dragon
[06:49] Gu
    and attack your Grand Gargoyle!
[06:52] Gu
    A powerful attack!
[06:54] Gu
    Now I end my turn!
[06:56] Gu
    Grand Gargoyle's Last Words activate,
[07:00] Gu
    creating an Earth Sigil.
[07:03] Gu
    Another Earth Sigil?
[07:04] Gu
    Time to do something flashy.
[07:07] Gu
    My turn. Draw.
[07:09] Gu
    It's time for the main event!
[07:11] Gu
    Give me a round of applause if it works!
[07:14] Gu
    It's showtime!
[07:20] Gu
    What is that?
[07:21] Gu
    Magic.
[07:23] Gu
    Here I go.
[07:26] Gu
    3, 2...
[07:30] Gu
    Wh-Where'd my Disaster Dragon go?
[07:40] Gu
    No way!
[07:41] Gu
    Amazing!
[07:42] Gu
    Hiro's Disaster Dragon appeared
    on Seiya's side of the field.
[07:47] Gu
    That's Great Magician's effect.
[07:49] Gu
    When an Earth Rite activates
     during its evolution,
[07:52] Gu
    it can steal an enemy follower
    with defense of less than 3.
[07:56] Gu
    And if that follower had evolved,
[07:59] Gu
    it stays that way.
[08:01] Gu
    So... I'll attack your Dragonrider
    with your Disaster Dragon,
[08:08] Gu
    and I attack your leader
    with Dwarf Alchemist.
[08:14] Gu
    Quite the show, right?
[08:15] Gu
    Yeah, it's amazing!
[08:17] Gu
    So this is the power of a pro player!
[08:21] Gu
    I'm glad you're enjoying it.
[08:23] Gu
    I end my turn.
[08:25] Gu
    What will you do?
[08:27] Gu
    You know what I'll do!
    I can't lose to something like this!
[08:31] Gu
    My turn!
[08:33] Gu
    Draw!
[08:35] Gu
    Roar, Ignis Dragon!
[08:44] Gu
    There it is! Hiro's trump card!
[08:47] Gu
    The one that's turned around so many games!
[08:49] Gu
    The Ignis Dragon!
[08:51] Gu
    I attack your Great Magician!
[08:54] Gu
    Go!
[08:58] Gu
    And then Ignis Dragon's effect activates!
[09:01] Gu
    3 damage to all enemy followers!
[09:08] Gu
    A solid hit!
[09:10] Gu
    The tables have been turned!
[09:12] Gu
    The way they always do for him!
[09:14] Gu
    Wow!
[09:16] Gu
    Well done, Hiro!
[09:19] Gu
    Not bad.
[09:21] Gu
    Yes!
[09:22] Gu
    How about that?
[09:23] Gu
    Splendid.
[09:25] Gu
    That's what impressed Takuma so much, huh?
[09:28] Gu
    But your show's just getting started, right?
[09:32] Gu
    No, the show's over.
[09:35] Gu
    My turn.
[09:37] Gu
    Are you prepared...
[09:39] Gu
    No, are you really ready?
SIGN    Apprentice Alchemist
SIGN    Lightning Behemoth
[09:54] Gu
    I play Runic Guardian.
[09:58] Gu
    Runic Guardian's Earth Rite ability increases
    attack and defense by 1, and gives it Ward.
[10:04] Gu
    Then I play Alchemist's Workshop.
[10:08] Gu
    It creates an Earth Sigil and Guardian Golem.
[10:11] Gu
    Now I end my turn.
[10:13] Gu
    Two cards with Ward?
[10:14] Gu
    Wow, Earth Rites are incredible!
[10:18] Gu
    But...
[10:20] Gu
    With these...
[10:24] Gu
    Go for it, Dragon Warrior!
[10:26] Gu
    Evolve!
[10:36] Gu
    Now attack!
[10:40] Gu
    An amazing evolution!
[10:42] Gu
    By using the damage from the on-evolve effect,
[10:44] Gu
    he destroyed all of Seiya's followers with Ward!
[10:48] Gu
    Now I can attack your leader!
[10:53] Gu
    I attack your leader with Ignis Dragon!
[10:59] Gu
    Seiya's lost half his defense
    with a single attack!
[11:03] Gu
    Is Hiro's victory at hand?
[11:06] Gu
    And with its Overflow ability,
    Firstborn Dragon gets Ward!
[11:11] Gu
    I end my turn!
[11:12] Gi
    Wow! He can win with this!
[11:15] Gu
    Hiro's more than a match
    for any pro player, you know?
[11:20] Gu
    If your show's over,
[11:22] Gu
    then I suppose it's time for my show?
[11:25] Gu
    No, I'm afraid that's not true.
[11:29] Gu
    Let me make this simple for you.
[11:32] Gu
    When the show's over,
[11:34] Gu
    that means there's no more time
    for fun and games.
[11:37] Gu
    Draw.
[11:41] Gu
    Devour everything, Predator Golem!
[11:45] Gu
    Th-That's...
[11:47] Gu
    When Predator Golem enters play,
    it destroys an enemy follower.
[11:55] Gu
    Wow! Hiro's trump card was just destroyed!
[12:01] Gu
    My Ignis Dragon...
[12:02] Gu
    I'm not done yet.
[12:05] Gu
    I activate its second ability.
[12:07] Gu
    Earth Rite!
[12:20] Gu
    That's the Ignis Dragon!
[12:22] Gu
    How?
[12:23] Gu
    Predator Golem's Earth Rite.
[12:26] Gu
    Whenever an enemy follower is destroyed,
    it gains its abilities!
[12:31] Gu
    O-Oh, wow...
[12:33] Gu
    It can steal enemy follower abilities?
[12:36] Gu
    Th-That's crazy!
[12:38] Gu
    So this is the power of a pro player?
[12:42] Gu
    He didn't use that card in his battle with me.
[12:46] Gu
    He's sly.
[12:48] Gu
    Now, what will you do, Hiro?
[12:51] Gu
    Whenever my Predator Golem attacks,
    it deals 3 damage to each of your followers.
[12:57] Gu
    And its attack power increases by 5.
[12:59] Gu
    But its evolution is just beginning.
[13:02] Gu
    Whenever one of your followers is destroyed,
    its second effect activates again.
[13:09] Gu
    S-So it can still get stronger?
[13:13] Gu
    Exactly.
[13:15] Gu
    Wow!
[13:17] Gu
    You know, Hiro...
[13:19] Gu
    I'm really grateful to you.
[13:22] Gu
    You saved Takuma.
[13:26] Gu
    Takuma changed after his battle with you.
[13:29] Gu
    Even I couldn't change him.
[13:33] Gu
    I shouldn't have said that.
[13:35] Gu
    Now, it's your turn.
[13:39] Gu
    Right!
[13:40] Gu
    Draw!
[13:40] [SONG] Gu
    Imprisoned Dragon
SIGN    Lightning Behemoth
[13:42] Gu
    Lightning Behemoth.
[13:44] Gu
    Its Last Words do 2 damage
    to your own followers and leader.
[13:48] Gu
    It has a downside!
[13:51] Gu
    Imprisoned Dragon.
[13:52] Gu
    A follower with Ward that can't attack.
[13:55] Gu
    No... these two cards can't...
[14:02] Gu
    No! Wait!
[14:04] Gu
    I've got it!
[14:06] Gu
    I play Imprisoned Dragon
    and Lightning Behemoth!
[14:11] Gu
    With Firstborn Dragon and Dragon Warrior,
    I attack your leader!
[14:17] Gu
    And I end my turn!
[14:19] Gu
    Hiro attacks valiantly!
[14:21] Gu
    Seiya's got only a few points
    of health left.
[14:23] Gu
    Is he trying to simply overpower him?
[14:27] Gu
    I see.
[14:28] Gu
    I play two Red-Hot Rituals.
[14:33] Gu
    They do 4 damage total
    to your Lightning Behemoth.
[14:38] Gu
    They also create two Earth Sigils.
[14:43] Gu
    I also play Scrap Iron Smelter.
[14:45] Gu
    It creates an Earth Sigil
    and a Scrap Golem.
[14:50] Gu
    Seiya has created 3 Earth Sigils
    in a single turn!
[14:55] Gu
    My Predator Golem attacks!
[14:58] Gu
    The ability it stole
    from Ignis Dragon activates!
[15:03] Gu
    All enemy followers receive 3 damage!
[15:10] Gu
    Earth Rite...
[15:11] Gu
    Now keep getting stronger!
[15:18] Gu
    This is unbelievable!
[15:20] Gu
    All of Hiro's followers have been destroyed!
[15:22] Gu
    He also stole all their abilities!
[15:29] Gu
    Hiro, you thought about this, huh?
[15:33] Gu
    Imprisoned Dragon has
    the "can't attack" ability.
[15:36] Gu
    You figured if you could make me steal it,
    you could stop my Predator Golem.
[15:42] Gu
    But I'm afraid that won't work.
[15:44] Gu
    In Shadowverse, effects are processed
    in the order they're played.
[15:48] Gu
    I took the abilities of the Dragon Warrior,
    Firstborn Wyvern, and Lightning Behemoth.
[15:54] Gu
    This gave Ward to my Predator Golem.
[15:57] Gu
    If you'd played them in a different order,
    this might've gone differently.
[16:01] Gu
    Well, there were ways
    to deal with that, too.
[16:05] Gu
    Pro players are really amazing!
[16:09] Gu
    Thanks.
[16:10] Gu
    But I'm not battling you as a pro player.
[16:15] Gu
    As Takuma Kibakura's brother,
    I want to defeat you.
[16:19] Gu
    You were able to do easily
    what I, his brother, couldn't.
[16:24] Gu
    It frustrates me. A lot.
[16:27] Gu
    I have to make sure,
[16:29] Gu
    so I can't lose to you.
[16:32] Gu
    I see.
[16:34] Gu
    I don't really understand,
    but somehow, I get it!
[16:37] Gu
    What you're saying is
    that you're playing for real, right?
[16:40] Gu
    Yes, that's right.
[16:42] Gu
    Then...
[16:43] Gu
    That's what I've wanted the whole time!
[16:45] Gu
    My turn! Draw!
SIGN    Serpent Wrath
[16:52] Gu
    I end my turn!
[16:53] Gu
    I can't believe it!
    Hiro ended his turn!
[16:57] Gu
    Is this over?
[17:00] Gu
    Of course not.
[17:02] Gu
    A player who'd give up that easily
    couldn't change Takuma.
[17:07] Gu
    Yeah. Of course.
[17:10] Gu
    I like you.
[17:11] Gu
    It'd be boring if you weren't like that!
[17:15] Gu
    Sammy, Wizard's Apprentice!
[17:20] Gu
    Each player draws a card.
[17:24] Gu
    Twin Guardians.
[17:27] Gu
    I create two Guardian Golems.
[17:30] Gu
    Now Seiya has four cards with Ward!
[17:33] Gu
    An impregnable defense!
[17:36] Gu
    But there's more to winning
    than just defense.
[17:38] Gu
    Predator Golem, attack the leader!
[17:42] Gu
    The stolen on-attack effects activate!
[17:45] Gu
    Attack power goes up by 5!
[17:47] Gu
    Now, release your power!
[17:58] Gu
    A-A-An impossibly powerful attack!
[18:02] Gu
    Hiro's almost out of defense!
[18:04] Gu
    He's nearly done for!
[18:06] Gu
    Hiro!
[18:07] Gu
    Hiro!
[18:08] Gu
    I can't believe he's so strong.
[18:13] Gu
    This is my full power.
[18:15] Gu
    Now, Hiro.
[18:17] Gu
    What will you do?
[18:22] Gu
    There's only one thing to do!
[18:24] Gu
    My turn! Here I go!
[18:26] Gu
    Draw!
SIGN    Maelstrom Dragon
SIGN    Dragon Wings
[18:28] Gu
    The battle's not over yet!
[18:31] Gu
    Let the storm rage! Dragon Wings!
[18:36] Gu
    Dragon Wings?
[18:38] Gu
    A spell that does 1 damage
    to all followers?
[18:41] Gu
    But it's not enough.
[18:43] Gu
    My followers can't be taken down by 1 damage.
[18:46] Gu
    Hiro used Dragon Wings,
    damaging Seiya's followers!
[18:51] Gu
    But they're tough! Too tough!
[18:54] Gu
    I'm not done yet!
[18:55] Gu
    I burn them with this!
[18:56] Gu
    Serpent Wrath!
[19:02] Gu
    The flames of a raging dragon burst forth!
[19:08] Gu
    That's 6 damage to your Predator Golem!
[19:10] Gu
    It's destroyed now!
[19:12] Gu
    Hiro hits again!
[19:15] Gu
    But it's not enough!
[19:16] Gu
    Destroying that follower won't save you!
[19:19] Gu
    No, it will!
[19:21] Gu
    Look at it!
[19:22] Gu
    What?
[19:26] Gu
    Don't tell me...
[19:27] Gu
    Yup, that's right!
[19:29] Gu
    It took four abilities!
[19:32] Gu
    Ignis Dragon!
[19:34] Gu
    Dragon Warrior!
[19:35] Gu
    Firstborn Dragon!
[19:36] Gu
    And Lightning Behemoth!
[19:41] Gu
    Lightning Behemoth
[19:42] Gu
    does 2 damage to its leader and each
     of their followers as a Last Words ability!
[19:47] Gu
    So it's about to explode!
[20:00] Gu
    Wh-Wh-Wh-What is going on?
[20:02] Gu
    He used Lightning Behemoth's absorbed ability
    to take out all of Seiya's followers!
[20:08] Gu
    He's got only 2 defense left!
[20:11] Gu
    He's almost out of the fight!
[20:14] Gu
    Was this his goal from the start?
[20:17] Gu
    You never know who'll win
     a game of Shadowverse till it's over!
[20:23] Gu
    Overflow, Maelstrom Dragon!
[20:29] Gu
    Maelstrom Dragon's on-Overflow ability
    activates, giving it Storm!
[20:33] Gu
    Go!
[20:35] Gu
    Maelstrom Dragon, attack the leader!
[20:55] Gu
    I-I-I-It's over!
[20:58] Gu
    Ryugasaki Hiro is the winner!
[21:02] Gu
    Damn it...
    I'll beat him next time!
[21:10] Gu
    You were strong.
[21:13] Gu
    I lost completely.
[21:14] Gu
    I feel better, somehow.
[21:19] Gu
    You were really strong,
    and it was really fun!
[21:22] Gu
    Let's battle again!
[21:23] Gu
    Yeah, of course.
[21:25] Gu
