    Whassup? Are you all enjoying WIXOSS?
SIGN    Saba-chin
[00:07] ---
    We've got lots of awesome Diva battles to
    show you on this week's edition of "WIXOSS Land"!
[00:13] ---
    Let's take a look at the latest Diva rankings!
SIGN    Deus Ex Machina
[00:18] ---
    Once again, the top team is Deus Ex Machina!
[00:21] ---
    They've held the top spot
    for three weeks straight!
SIGN    Deus Ex Machina
SIGN    Deus Ex Machina
    Deus
[00:25] ---
    People say they're the ones who
    come closest to Eternal Girl!
[00:25] ---
    Eternal Girl
SIGN    Deus Ex Machina
    Ex
SIGN    Deus Ex Machina
    Machina
[00:29] ---
    How long will their streak continue?!
[00:33] ---
    Now it's time for "Pick Up Diva,"
[00:34] ---
    where we introduce the teams
    we're watching out for!
[00:38] ---
    Team No Limit has won every battle
    since they first entered and made it
[00:42] ---
    to class C in record time!
[00:44] ---
    Kyuru
    Kyurun
[00:44] ---
    So you made it to class C.
[00:46] ---
    But your streak ends here.
[00:48] ---
    We in Kyuru Kyurun are here to
    show you how tough class C is—
[00:53] ---
    Go!
[00:55] ---
    Oh, no!
[00:58] ---
    No Limit wins again!
[01:00] ---
    They should tear through class C in no time!
[01:03] ---
    Hi there! We're team No Limit!
[01:06] ---
    Hirana-chan...
[01:09] ---
    Of course, we're aiming for #1!
[01:12] ---
    We're following in the
    footsteps of Eternal Girl!
[01:15] ---
    And we're on our way to the top!
[02:51] ---
    I saw DIVA's TV yesterday.
[02:54] ---
    Looks like things are going well.
[02:55] ---
    Aw, thanks.
[02:57] ---
    Don't get cocky just yet.
[02:59] ---
    There are around 5,000 teams
    registered for Diva battles.
[03:03] ---
    We're here, in class C. There are
    300 teams in this class alone.
[03:08] ---
    Three hundred? Does that mean we can go
    to class B if we win 300 battles in a row?
[03:12] ---
    If we won that many, we'd be #1.
[03:14] ---
    Yes!
[03:16] ---
    I'm ready to go!
[03:18] ---
    Let's aim for the top!
[03:22] ---
    Our next opponent has been decided.
[03:24] ---
    Really? Who is it?
[03:25] ---
    Um...
[03:28] ---
    So who is it?
[03:30] ---
    Card Jockey.
[03:32] ---
    The Card Jockey?
[03:34] ---
    The strongest and most
    popular team in class C?
[03:37] ---
    They were even in class B for a while.
[03:40] ---
    I figured we'd face them someday, but...
[03:42] ---
    Wh-What do we do?
[03:45] ---
    We can't beat them.
[03:46] ---
    You can't think about losing
    before we even fight.
[03:49] ---
    They're strong, sure, but the
    three of us can handle them!
[03:54] ---
    Card Jockey has a battle coming up now.
[03:58] ---
    Why not go watch?
[04:00] ---
    Definitely!
[04:01] ---
    Let's all go.
[04:02] ---
    I'm sure you'll see something
    there that'll fire you up.
[04:06] ---
    Go watch them and see what they're like.
[04:10] ---
    It's time for class C's
    top Divas, Card Jockey!
[04:16] ---
    Freestyle Diva Card Jockey!
[04:19] ---
    I'm ready to dazzle ya with my rhymes!
[04:24] ---
    Those cheers are amazing.
[04:27] ---
    Card Jockey is produced by Archangel,
    the biggest in the industry.
[04:32] ---
    They're even in commercials and stuff.
[04:35] ---
    Their center is MC Lion.
    She has a white deck.
[04:39] ---
    VJ Wolf is green.
[04:42] ---
    DJ Lovit is red.
[04:44] ---
    They sound like a balanced team.
[04:47] ---
    I'll come up with a deck to
    counter each of their attacks.
[04:53] ---
    I've been thinking...
[04:55] ---
    Yes?
[04:56] ---
    Why is your tone always so formal?
    We're on the same team.
[04:59] ---
    B-But, but... I don't want to be rude.
    You're the class rep...
[05:04] ---
    But we're in the same grade.
[05:05] ---
    Y-Yeah, but it doesn't feel like it.
[05:09] ---
    It feels like you're older than me.
[05:10] ---
    You're a little... scary, I guess...
[05:13] ---
    I'm scary, huh?
[05:15] ---
    N-No, that's not what I meant!
[05:18] ---
    It's okay. I get that a lot.
[05:20] ---
    I'm harsh, I'm cold...
[05:23] ---
    That's right. They call
    me "Absolute," after all.
[05:26] ---
    Hirana-chan!
[05:28] ---
    Go! That's it!
[05:31] ---
    You sucker Diva!
[05:32] ---
    Try again later!
[05:37] ---
    They did it!
[05:39] ---
    The winners are Card Jockey!
[05:41] ---
    As expected of them.
[05:43] ---
    Th-They're strong.
[05:44] ---
    We're going to fight them, right?
[05:48] ---
    So, Team Leader MC Lion, you seemed
    more fired up than usual today.
[05:55] ---
    You could tell?
[05:57] ---
    I bumped my BPM up a bit!
[06:00] ---
    'Cause they're watching, after all.
[06:04] ---
    Oh! That's...
[06:05] ---
    The team you're facing next, No Limit!
[06:08] ---
    You came to diss us?
[06:11] ---
    I didn't come to discuss anything!
[06:13] ---
    I came to watch you!
[06:14] ---
    That's not what "diss" means...
[06:16] ---
    Um, is she okay?
[06:18] ---
    Nope. Ain't nothing okay about her.
[06:20] ---
    I like you!
[06:22] ---
    I'll give you a taste of the lyrics of our card!
[06:27] ---
    We won't lose, either!
[06:28] ---
    We'll win this!
[06:33] ---
    We need to come up with a plan.
    It'll be tough with the deck we've been using.
[06:37] ---
    They're a mid-range deck that specializes
    in attacking in waves, after all.
[06:41] ---
    Your tone...
[06:43] ---
    Okay, let's do this!
[06:45] ---
    Just you wait, Card Jockey!
[06:47] ---
    The battle's next week,
    so let's prep after our exams.
[06:51] ---
    Right.
[06:53] ---
    What?
[06:54] ---
    Exams?
[06:56] ---
    Yes.
[06:57] ---
    Exams start tomorrow. Don't tell me...
[07:01] ---
    Asu Hirana
[07:04] ---
    It's over.
[07:06] ---
    Three Fs?
[07:07] ---
    Hirana-chan, this is bad!
[07:11] ---
    You two are so mean...
[07:12] ---
    Why didn't you mention exams sooner?
[07:15] ---
    It's your fault for forgetting
    until the day before!
[07:18] ---
    You need to study for your make-up
    exams before you study for the battle.
[07:20] ---
    Got it?
[07:22] ---
    No whining!
[07:23] ---
    As your teammate, and as class rep,
    I'm not letting you fail!
[07:28] ---
    So be ready!
[07:30] ---
    Rei-chan, you're scaring me!
[07:31] ---
    That's the deal, Akino.
[07:33] ---
    So can you rebuild the decks?
[07:35] ---
    Y-Yes, I'll do my best!
[07:40] ---
    I should put this in, too.
[07:43] ---
    Hirana-chan's deck specializes in aggro.
[07:45] ---
    It probably wouldn't fare
    well against Card Jockey.
SIGN    Nobunaga, Crimson General Princess
[07:48] ---
    She needs to be able to
    respond if something happens.
SIGN    Arcgain, Holy Angel Princess
[08:00] ---
    My Arcgain...
[08:06] ---
    Sorry! Are you okay?
[08:12] ---
    Arcgain?
[08:17] ---
    You play WIXOSS, too?
[08:19] ---
    What's that card? I've never seen it.
[08:22] ---
    It looks strong.
[08:24] ---
    Arcgain is always the strongest Angel SIGNI.
[08:27] ---
    Her ETB effect gives you a draw,
    and she has resistance to removal...
[08:31] ---
    Wow, amazing!
[08:33] ---
    You know a lot about it, huh?
[08:34] ---
    I can't even remember what's in my deck!
[08:37] ---
    I'm impressed!
[08:39] ---
    No, but...
[08:45] ---
    I love it, too!
[08:51] ---
    With this, I'm sure...
[08:56] ---
    Nya-chan, you didn't have
    to provoke them like that.
[09:00] ---
    Flow and tempo are super important.
[09:02] ---
    Besides, the crowd loved it.
[09:05] ---
    You're just putting on a brave front
    and don't have much left to lose.
[09:09] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[09:17] ---
    Any word from Mika P?
[09:19] ---
    Nothing.
[09:20] ---
    She was so nice to us when
    we made it to class B.
[09:23] ---
    But since we fell to C,
    this is how she treats us.
[09:26] ---
    Producers are like that. You stop
    winning, and they're like this.
[09:29] ---
    That's just how it goes.
[09:30] ---
    But we can't just sit here and complain.
[09:34] ---
    Eternal Girl Mika: Her Producer Skills
[09:34] ---
    An eye for top Diva talent
[09:35] ---
    Mika P...
[09:37] ---
    We need to win and get back to
    class B, or she'll really abandon us!
[09:41] ---
    The Secrets of No Limit, the Rising Stars
[09:42] ---
    No Limit...
[09:44] ---
    They're getting popular. We need to beat
    them and get back in the spotlight.
[09:49] ---
    We won't lose!
[09:54] ---
    If you want to start playing WIXOSS,
[09:57] ---
    the best way to do it is to
    buy a preconstructed deck.
[10:00] ---
    Hirana-chan! Hirana-chan!
[10:04] ---
    It's okay! I'm awake!
[10:12] ---
    Hirana-chan...
[10:14] ---
    Akino?
[10:14] ---
    Y-Yes?
[10:16] ---
    What's this card doing here?
[10:19] ---
    U-Um...
[10:22] ---
    Oh, Arcgain! I remember that.
[10:25] ---
    That card was how we first met, huh?
[10:28] ---
    Yeah.
[10:29] ---
    So you chose Arcgain because it's
    important to the two of you?
[10:34] ---
    N-No, I had a reason.
[10:37] ---
    Arcgain is most effective on defense.
[10:41] ---
    It's not suited for an attacker like Hirana.
[10:44] ---
    W-Well...
[10:46] ---
    Plus, it has abilities that
    aren't useful for a red deck,
[10:50] ---
    and with just a single copy,
    it's not adding much at all.
[10:54] ---
    Am I wrong?
[10:57] ---
    Who cares? I like Arcgain.
[11:01] ---
    You shut up and study!
[11:05] ---
    Whether we win or lose
    will depend on this deck.
[11:09] ---
    If you're confident in your
    choice, I won't say a word.
[11:13] ---
    But if you're not...
[11:16] ---
    You're right... Sorry. I'll take it out.
[11:32] ---
    Next up, in class C,
[11:34] ---
    and continuing their undefeated win streak,
[11:37] ---
    are the new Divas that break
    all the limits... No Limit!
[11:41] ---
    Their opponents are the
    Divas closest to class B...
[11:44] ---
    Card Jockey!
[11:48] ---
    Hirana?
[11:55] ---
    Wake up!
[11:56] ---
    The battle's starting!
[12:00] ---
    If you overslept because you were studying
    for your make-ups, that's your fault.
[12:04] ---
    I'm fine! I'm fine!
[12:06] ---
    I'll give my best for both
    WIXOSS and the exams.
[12:10] ---
    Let's do our best, Akino-chan!
[12:12] ---
    O-Okay.
[12:14] ---
    Open!
[12:16] ---
    And here we go!
[12:18] ---
    No Limit versus Card Jockey!
[12:20] ---
    I'm your commentator, Master X!
[12:24] ---
    My turn! Draw!
SIGN    Romail, Small Equipment
[12:27] ---
    Grow!
[12:35] ---
    I adjusted your deck, but it
    plays basically the same!
[12:38] ---
    Roger!
[12:39] ---
    Rei-chan! Akino-chan! Grow!
[12:42] ---
    Grow!
[12:47] ---
    Grow!
[12:55] ---
    Grow's effect destroys the opponent's hand!
[13:01] ---
    And they get to add to their hand!
[13:04] ---
    Here I go!
[13:11] ---
    No Limit's off to a strong start, keeping the
    pace they've had since their team formed!
[13:17] ---
    The pace, yeah.
[13:18] ---
    They've got a good rhythm.
[13:20] ---
    But if your rhythm's out of time,
    then your heart's out of time.
[13:23] ---
    Things are flowing in favor of VJ Wolf.
[13:25] ---
    That's how it is!
[13:29] ---
    Let's keep it up!
[13:31] ---
    I've been waiting for this.
[13:32] ---
    Wolf, Grow!
[13:39] ---
    Grow.
[13:46] ---
    What is this?!
[13:48] ---
    VJ Wolf's Grow gives her a mirage effect!
[13:56] ---
    No Limit's attacks aren't working at all!
[14:00] ---
    Useless. Useless. Useless. Useless.
[14:01] ---
    Useless. Useless. Useless. Useless.
[14:04] ---
    I'm so pissed off!
[14:06] ---
    She's mad. Now's our chance.
[14:08] ---
    I know.
[14:10] ---
    My turn!
[14:11] ---
    Draw!
[14:12] ---
    Go for it, Lovit!
[14:14] ---
    Okay!
[14:16] ---
    Grow!
SIGN    Athena, Holy Angel
SIGN    Amazones, Verdant General
[14:21] ---
    SIGNI enhance!
[14:22] ---
    I boost my Assassin and Lancer... and attack!
[14:31] ---
    DJ Lovit's beautiful attack
    did huge damage to No Limit!
[14:36] ---
    They're having a rough time!
[14:38] ---
    They're strong...
[14:39] ---
    That's why they're the strongest in class C.
[14:42] ---
    All the more reason we can't let them win!
[14:47] ---
    Grow!
[15:08] ---
    Rei-chan! Akino-chan!
[15:10] ---
    Grow!
[15:15] ---
    Hirana-chan!
[15:17] ---
    Hirana!
[15:33] ---
    We're going higher!
[15:35] ---
    We won't lose here!
[15:37] ---
    We can't lose here!
[15:38] ---
    We don't wanna lose!
[15:40] ---
    Lovit! Wolf!
[15:41] ---
    Hit 'em with our verse!
[15:44] ---
    I won't lose, either! I don't wanna lose!
[15:48] ---
    'Cause I decided I'm going to the top!
[15:51] ---
    Class C is filled with awesome battles,
    and this is no exception!
[15:56] ---
    Their SP is basically even!
[15:58] ---
    Will it be No Limit or
    Card Jockey who wins the day?!
[16:02] ---
    Scratch! Scratch!
[16:08] ---
    That had to hurt!
[16:10] ---
    They're running out of time!
[16:14] ---
    Hirana-chan, are you okay?
[16:17] ---
    Yeah.
[16:19] ---
    I got a little ahead of myself.
[16:21] ---
    For both battles and exams, it's important
    to take care of your physical condition.
[16:25] ---
    Come on. It's our turn.
[16:29] ---
    Grow!
[16:31] ---
    Arcgain, Holy Angel Princess
[16:32] ---
    What?!
[16:33] ---
    Arcgain?
[16:34] ---
    Akino, what's going on here?
[16:36] ---
    I-I don't know!
[16:39] ---
    I took it out of the deck...
[16:46] ---
    S-S-S-S-Sorry!
[16:48] ---
    I guess I messed with the
    deck when I was half-asleep!
[16:51] ---
    Hirana, you did it on purpose!
[16:53] ---
    Sorry, Rei-chan!
[16:55] ---
    But I believe in Akino-chan.
[16:58] ---
    I believe in the deck she created.
[17:01] ---
    So... I want to fight with this deck!
[17:05] ---
    Hirana-chan...
[17:08] ---
    This card means a lot to us.
[17:10] ---
    But that wasn't the only
    reason you chose it, right?
[17:14] ---
    Yeah.
[17:19] ---
    Fine.
[17:20] ---
    I'll believe in Akino, too.
[17:23] ---
    Rei-chan...
[17:24] ---
    Hirana, play Arcgain.
[17:27] ---
    Okay!
[17:28] ---
    Arcgain! Pay the cost to
    move a card to your hand!
[17:32] ---
    Roger!
[17:34] ---
    I believe in you, too, Rei-chan.
[17:38] ---
    Y-You don't need to say that.
[17:42] ---
    Turn end!
[17:43] ---
    Now, let's end it!
[17:47] ---
    "End it," she says.
[17:48] ---
    She's funny.
[17:50] ---
    It's a bad habit of yours, enjoying the
    battle more than you enjoy winning.
[17:54] ---
    But that's Lion.
[17:55] ---
    The reason I'm here.
[17:58] ---
    I know. Lion, you're the leader.
[18:01] ---
    Fight how you want.
[18:02] ---
    Okay, my man!
[18:04] ---
    What's up?!
[18:05] ---
    I'll let you hear my anthem!
[18:08] ---
    We activate our piece!
[18:09] ---
    Endless Punchline!
[18:14] ---
    What is this?
[18:15] ---
    There it is!
[18:16] ---
    MC Lion's piece activates!
[18:19] ---
    It can attack up to three times!
[18:22] ---
    Is this the limit for No Limit?
[18:25] ---
    First, your SIGNI!
SIGN    Osagitsune, Phantom Beast Deity
[18:27] ---
    I attack Arcgain with Osagitsune!
[18:30] ---
    The attack trigger banishes Adamasphere, too!
SIGN    Adamasphere, Natural Stone
[18:34] ---
    Now, Hirana-chan! Rei-chan!
[18:39] ---
    We've got plenty of Ener.
[18:40] ---
    Rei-chan, grow!
[18:42] ---
    So that's it! Got it!
[18:44] ---
    Grow!
[18:57] ---
    Unbelievable!
[18:58] ---
    The Grow effect downed her SIGNI!
[19:01] ---
    She can't banish the enemy SIGNI now!
[19:04] ---
    Impossible!
[19:06] ---
    Activate Guard!
[19:15] ---
    No...
[19:17] ---
    My anthem...
[19:20] ---
    Here I go!
[19:21] ---
    My turn!
[19:23] ---
    Draw!
SIGN    Nobunaga, Crimson General Princess
[19:25] ---
    Nobunaga?
[19:26] ---
    That's the new card I put in.
[19:28] ---
    You can use it to win, Hirana-chan!
[19:30] ---
    Okay! I rise my red SIGNI
    and banish your front SIGNI!
[19:38] ---
    A double crush effect on a SIGNI?
[19:40] ---
    That's bad!
[19:41] ---
    It's bad, it's bad,
    but there's nothing we can do.
[19:44] ---
    We've used up all we had!
[19:46] ---
    This is our chance!
[19:47] ---
    Let's go, Hirana-chan! Rei-chan!
[19:49] ---
    Right!
[19:50] ---
    Yeah!
[19:59] ---
    There it is!
[20:01] ---
    The winning team is No Limit!
[20:04] ---
    How long will their win streak last?
[20:06] ---
    Congrats!
[20:09] ---
    We did it!
[20:10] ---
    The three of us won!
    With all our strengths together!
[20:15] ---
    Hirana-chan...
[20:17] ---
    Akino, your deck saved us today.
[20:21] ---
    I was the one who was wrong.
[20:23] ---
    Sorry.
[20:25] ---
    No... You both helped me.
[20:29] ---
    So we're even.
[20:31] ---
    I like that relaxed tone a lot better.
[20:39] ---
    Huh?
[20:41] ---
    Hirana?
[20:52] ---
    Sorry about yesterday's battle.
[20:54] ---
    It was my fault.
[20:56] ---
    We promised we wouldn't blame each other.
[20:58] ---
    Our crew is all in this together.
[21:01] ---
    Your vibes were good, Nana.
[21:04] ---
    Theirs were just a little better.
[21:07] ---
    Yeah.
[21:10] ---
    Mika P
[21:12] ---
    Mika P?
[21:19] ---
    You lost again, huh?
[21:24] ---
    You're the only Divas I produce
    that are as low as class C.
[21:31] ---
    How long are you going to remain there?
[21:34] ---
    S-Sorry.
[21:37] ---
    But your battle yesterday wasn't bad.
[21:42] ---
    I'll count it as barely passing.
[21:46] ---
    I'm sending a message. Watch for it.
[21:48] ---
    Bye.
[21:56] ---
    This is...
[21:58] ---
    This is a new song!
[22:02] ---
    Y-You're right!
[22:04] ---
    
[22:04] ---
    Mika P...
[22:06] ---
    You didn't... You didn't forget us!
[22:14] ---
    I'm so glad...
[22:16] ---
    Yay!
