[00:00] ---
    Futuring Diva!
[00:02] ---
    It's time for this year's league fights,
    featuring the best teams of each class!
[00:08] ---
    Here are the last four teams!
[00:11] ---
    First...
[00:15] ---
    Universe's Beginning!
[00:17] ---
    We all saw this coming! Their amazing
    analytical skills make them an obvious choice!
[00:23] ---
    And next is...
[00:27] ---
    Card Jockey!
[00:29] ---
    What do they have in store
    for their Selector fans?
[00:34] ---
    And next is...
[00:38] ---
    Kyuru Kyurun!
[00:41] ---
    And lastly...
[00:46] ---
    No Limit!
[00:48] ---
    Yes!
[00:49] ---
    No Limit's a brand new team!
    Who could've seen this coming?
[00:53] ---
    They've got top talent as WIXOSS
    players and the looks of idols!
[00:57] ---
    I can't wait to see them in
    the tournament! Can you?
[01:00] ---
    H-Hirana-chan, look...
[01:04] ---
    Hirana!
[01:08] ---
    Sorry!
[01:11] ---
    Futuring Diva...
[01:12] ---
    The winning team gets a big
    boost to their rank, and...
[01:17] ---
    And Diva Time on a big stage!
[01:19] ---
    I want to sing!
[01:21] ---
    I want to dance!
[01:22] ---
    Let's do it! Diva Time!
[01:24] ---
    I told you, I'm not doing Diva Time.
[01:29] ---
    Sorry...
[01:31] ---
    So, why don't you want to do it?
[01:34] ---
    W-Well...
[03:07] ---
    All the other teams are doing it!
[03:10] ---
    And the dancing after we win will be fun!
[03:13] ---
    Let's do it!
[03:16] ---
    I...
[03:17] ---
    There's no reason to force her.
[03:19] ---
    We don't even have an original dance or song.
[03:22] ---
    I know that.
[03:24] ---
    But we need a luxurious song and dance
    number to get those Selector Points,
[03:29] ---
    or the fans won't follow us!
[03:32] ---
    That's a very low-IQ answer,
[03:36] ---
    but for you, a pretty smart one.
[03:38] ---
    Right?
[03:39] ---
    So let's make one!
[03:42] ---
    Our own original Diva Time!
[03:44] ---
    But I refuse!
[03:45] ---
    My answer is no!
[03:47] ---
    Oh, no!
[03:48] ---
    If we win the battles, our rank will go up.
[03:50] ---
    If we want to get to the top,
    we don't need to sing or dance.
[03:54] ---
    Okay, turn end.
[03:56] ---
    Aw, man...
[04:00] ---
    I'm sorry, Hirana-chan!
[04:18] ---
    Rei-chan?
[04:27] ---
    Akino?
[04:32] ---
    I'm sorry. I didn't mean to peep.
[04:35] ---
    It's okay. I'm not trying to hide it.
[04:39] ---
    But at lunch, you said we
    didn't need to sing or dance.
[04:43] ---
    I did.
[04:46] ---
    But I think what Hirano says is right.
[04:51] ---
    Yeah...
[04:52] ---
    After a battle, someone sings or dances.
[04:56] ---
    They get popular that way.
[04:57] ---
    That's how things are now.
[05:01] ---
    So as long as we're Divas,
    we need a Diva Time...
[05:07] ---
    For the sake of the people supporting us.
[05:09] ---
    That's why you're practicing?
[05:11] ---
    Yeah.
[05:12] ---
    As a member of the team,
[05:13] ---
    I want to do the bare minimum to be ready.
[05:17] ---
    Um, Rei-chan... I lied.
[05:22] ---
    When I did my first Diva battle...
[05:26] ---
    I'm scared... I'm scared,
    but you're not wrong.
[05:33] ---
    So I won't run away.
[05:36] ---
    I said that, but...
[05:39] ---
    In the end, I'm trying to run.
[05:43] ---
    I see...
[05:45] ---
    Maybe Akino-chan doesn't
    really want to be a Diva.
[05:49] ---
    I did kind of force her.
[05:51] ---
    Sob, sob.
[05:53] ---
    She's a kind girl.
[05:55] ---
    I saw Eternal Girl's Diva Time and said,
    "Wow, I wish I could be like that."
[06:01] ---
    That's how I got to like WIXOSS.
[06:04] ---
    Yeah...
[06:05] ---
    Akino-chan said she liked it, too.
[06:08] ---
    And that made me so happy.
[06:11] ---
    Liking something is important.
[06:14] ---
    But everyone has their own way of
    liking things. That's the problem.
[06:19] ---
    Love is blind, as they say.
[06:23] ---
    What I'm saying is that love and WIXOSS
    are things you can't do on your own.
[06:28] ---
    I don't get it, but I'll try
    talking to Akino-chan again.
[06:33] ---
    Anyway, how did you know
    something was bugging me?
[06:37] ---
    It's something every girl
    who becomes a Diva faces.
[06:41] ---
    All of them?
[06:43] ---
    Yes, all of them.
[06:47] ---
    You're running, huh?
[06:49] ---
    But there's no need to force yourself
    to do something you don't want to.
[06:53] ---
    You don't fight Diva battles out
    of duty or because you have to.
[06:57] ---
    It's the same with Diva Time.
[06:59] ---
    In that sense, there's nothing
    wrong with what you're doing.
[07:04] ---
    If anything, it's Hirana's fault
    for trying to force you into it.
[07:09] ---
    You're nice, Rei-chan.
[07:11] ---
    You just let her drag you along
    with everything she does.
[07:14] ---
    But she's really pure.
[07:17] ---
    She is.
[07:18] ---
    I've never seen a high school girl with
    eyes that shine like a preschooler's.
[07:24] ---
    Yeah.
[07:25] ---
    That part of Hirana-chan
    seems almost unfair, I think.
[07:28] ---
    She's so pure-hearted with everything.
[07:31] ---
    So I want to help her
    as much as I can, but...
[07:35] ---
    I don't know why you don't want to do it,
[07:39] ---
    but as a Diva, you understand why
    you need to do Diva Time, right?
[07:44] ---
    Yeah.
[07:46] ---
    So I won't force you or
    try to drag you into it.
[07:49] ---
    But if there's anything we
    can do to help, let us know.
[07:54] ---
    We're comrades.
[07:56] ---
    Okay. Thanks.
[07:58] ---
    I mean, I know it, but...
[08:05] ---
    Akino?
[08:07] ---
    Yeah, I'm fine.
[08:09] ---
    It's nothing.
[08:10] ---
    Thanks.
[08:16] ---
    Yo!
[08:18] ---
    You all enjoying WIXOSS?
[08:20] ---
    It's that time of year again!
[08:24] ---
    That's right! Futuring Diva!
[08:30] ---
    We're watching eight of
    the top teams in the game!
[08:47] ---
    Futuring Diva is an all-out
    battle between eight teams.
[08:52] ---
    Winners will be awarded points,
[08:54] ---
    and the two teams with the most points
    at the end will face off in the finals.
[09:00] ---
    The legendary Diva and former member of
    Eternal Girl, Rie-san, is here with us.
[09:07] ---
    Rie-san, this is a league battle.
[09:10] ---
    Skill is more important than luck, right?
[09:12] ---
    Since you're going up against every team,
    you need a plan for each of them.
[09:16] ---
    Which means it'll be important to watch
    the overall flow of the tournament.
[09:21] ---
    Yes.
[09:22] ---
    And because it's a team fight...
[09:24] ---
    Hirana, the battle's about to start.
[09:27] ---
    Okay, let's go.
[09:29] ---
    Here's your new deck.
[09:31] ---
    Thanks.
[09:33] ---
    Um... also, about Diva Time...
[09:37] ---
    Have you reached your answer?
[09:40] ---
    What? What's up, you two?
[09:44] ---
    N-Nothing...
[09:45] ---
    We can all talk about it together later.
[09:49] ---
    For now, let's concentrate on the battle!
[09:51] ---
    Yeah.
[09:54] ---
    Now, let's go!
[09:56] ---
    To the top!
[09:58] ---
    No Limit!
[10:15] ---
    It's time for our segment on Futuring Diva!
[10:18] ---
    We're in the second half, so we have the last
    four teams here to introduce themselves!
[10:27] ---
    Hirana-chan's so stiff.
[10:29] ---
    Let's hear what you're all aiming for!
[10:33] ---
    Um... my goal...
[10:36] ---
    is the top!
[10:38] ---
    I want to win, and go higher!
[10:42] ---
    We have no limit!
[10:45] ---
    No Limit is unstoppable right now!
[10:48] ---
    They've won three fights
    in a row in Futuring Diva.
[10:52] ---
    Well, it's thanks to Akino-chan and Rei-chan!
[10:57] ---
    Let's see what you've got in store!
[10:58] ---
    Let's hear from Card Jockey next.
[11:02] ---
    We're getting revenge on No Limit this time.
[11:07] ---
    We're not allowed to lose anymore.
[11:10] ---
    That's your answer, huh?
[11:12] ---
    Our goal is a complete
    victory over No Limit, too.
[11:19] ---
    What a coincidence!
[11:21] ---
    Actually, we're out for No Limit, too!
[11:26] ---
    Wow!
[11:27] ---
    All teams have it out for No Limit!
[11:30] ---
    It's kind of obvious...
[11:32] ---
    Perhaps it was chance, the movements of the
    stars, or the waxing and waning of the moon,
[11:36] ---
    but we lost once by pure luck,
    and we need to get them back.
[11:40] ---
    What?!
[11:41] ---
    We'll beat you again and win this thing!
[11:44] ---
    Win, huh?
[11:46] ---
    But you know...
[11:47] ---
    Even if you win, what will
    you do for Diva Time?
[11:51] ---
    I've never seen you do anything.
[11:54] ---
    Well...
[11:56] ---
    Does that mean you can't do anything?
[11:59] ---
    Yikes! And you call yourself a Diva?
[12:02] ---
    Wh-Why?!
[12:04] ---
    There's no rule that says you have to do it!
[12:06] ---
    But Diva Time is a way of saying thanks to
    all the Selectors who supported you, right?
[12:13] ---
    I don't know why you wouldn't do it.
[12:16] ---
    I don't get it!
[12:19] ---
    If you're really thinking about
    the Selectors watching this,
[12:23] ---
    it's natural to want to do it.
[12:25] ---
    But a plain, boring team like yours winning
    would make for a boring tournament.
[12:31] ---
    So I bet the organizers
    don't want you to win.
[12:34] ---
    You all think so, too, right?
[12:38] ---
    N-Now, now, calm down, you two.
[12:42] ---
    By the way, we've got 108
    Diva Times we can do.
[12:47] ---
    If you don't have any,
[12:49] ---
    think about changing your
    name to No Performance.
[12:53] ---
    We do!
[12:55] ---
    We do have one!
[12:57] ---
    We have a million, actually!
[13:00] ---
    Then can we see them in this tournament?
[13:03] ---
    Yeah, you sure can!
[13:05] ---
    We'll win and show you an
    amazing song and dance!
[13:18] ---
    Hirana, you said the three of us were
    going to talk about Diva Time, right?
[13:24] ---
    Yes. You are correct.
[13:27] ---
    So what was that yesterday?
[13:29] ---
    I'm really sorry.
[13:32] ---
    It's already on WIXOSS Land's news.
[13:36] ---
    But Mikomiko was being such a jerk!
[13:39] ---
    I had to say something!
[13:41] ---
    But that doesn't give you the
    right to say something like that.
[13:44] ---
    I'm sorry, Akino-chan!
[13:46] ---
    I'm really sorry.
[13:47] ---
    No, it's not your fault.
[13:53] ---
    A Diva's supposed to perform.
[13:56] ---
    And if someone says you don't care
    about the Selectors who support you,
[14:00] ---
    of course you're going to be upset.
[14:03] ---
    Akino-chan...
[14:04] ---
    So it's not your fault.
[14:07] ---
    It's my fault.
[14:09] ---
    I'm sorry.
[14:11] ---
    Why are you apologizing?
[14:13] ---
    If you don't want to do it,
    you don't have to!
[14:15] ---
    No, it's not that I don't want to!
[14:18] ---
    I can't!
[14:20] ---
    I'm scared!
[14:28] ---
    I loved to dance.
[14:51] ---
    I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[15:02] ---
    I'm scared!
[15:03] ---
    Whenever I'm in front of a crowd,
    I remember that day...
[15:08] ---
    I made...
[15:10] ---
    I made so many people cry and
    so many people laugh at me!
[15:13] ---
    I can't do it again!
[15:15] ---
    I'm too scared!
[15:20] ---
    Akino-chan...
[15:22] ---
    I'm sorry I couldn't tell you until now.
[15:26] ---
    Akino-chan!
[15:36] ---
    Futuring Diva!
[15:38] ---
    Our next battle is
    Universe's Beginning versus No Limit!
[15:42] ---
    No Limit's won three in a row,
[15:45] ---
    and their members are sure to be pumped...
[15:49] ---
    Huh?
[15:56] ---
    Open!
[15:58] ---
    Here we go.
[16:00] ---
    Rie-san, what's your take on this battle?
[16:02] ---
    Well, No Limit's on a hot streak,
    and they've gotten pretty good.
[16:08] ---
    But Universe's Beginning fights
    with experience and data.
[16:12] ---
    They're very different teams,
[16:14] ---
    but it'll be a battle between
    two talented groups.
[16:17] ---
    Let's hope for a great show!
[16:19] ---
    Um... this is right, isn't it?
[16:24] ---
    Akino, look at the card.
[16:27] ---
    S-Sorry.
[16:29] ---
    That card's fine!
[16:31] ---
    Thanks!
[16:32] ---
    Grow!
[16:38] ---
    Turn end.
[16:40] ---
    You got us last time, but...
[16:44] ---
    Nova! Bang!
[16:45] ---
    Let's up the speed!
[16:47] ---
    Got it.
[16:48] ---
    Roger, Doctor.
[16:50] ---
    Optimizing data.
[16:51] ---
    Now, No Limit, can you keep
    up with our operation?
[16:56] ---
    Grow!
[17:09] ---
    Grow!
[17:15] ---
    They're using a pretty aggressive
    formation out the gate.
[17:18] ---
    We need to react.
[17:20] ---
    Akino, help Hirana.
[17:22] ---
    R-Right!
[17:23] ---
    Hirana!
[17:24] ---
    Come on, you two! Concentrate!
[17:30] ---
    Oh, dear! What's going on?
[17:33] ---
    No Limit's falling behind
    from the very start!
[17:38] ---
    Spell: Roaring Fireball!
[17:41] ---
    I banish your SIGNI!
[17:42] ---
    Hirana, now!
[17:44] ---
    Go!
[17:52] ---
    This is where the operation really begins.
[17:54] ---
    Today, Universe's Beginning is Version 2!
[18:03] ---
    Life Burst!
[18:06] ---
    Shinpachi, Azure General!
SIGN    Shinpachi, Azure General
[18:08] ---
    Its effect activates!
[18:09] ---
    Discard a card from your hand!
[18:14] ---
    That's smart!
[18:15] ---
    Universe's Beginning is turning their
    opponent's attacks to their advantage!
[18:20] ---
    Their style doesn't just rely
    on cold math! It's red-hot!
[18:23] ---
    Everyone's cheers turn the pain to power.
[18:31] ---
    It's not like you to say things
    like that, Hell Doctor.
[18:34] ---
    Is it a bad look?
[18:37] ---
    No, I think you've gotten
    a step closer to the truth.
[18:40] ---
    Impressive, Doctor.
[18:42] ---
    Have some candy.
[18:44] ---
    S-Stop it. We're in the
    middle of an operation.
[18:47] ---
    I'll have it when we're done.
[18:54] ---
    This is bad.
[18:56] ---
    She's starting to let the cheers get to her.
[18:59] ---
    Um, Akino-chan...
[19:01] ---
    Hirana, focus!
[19:02] ---
    The next attack will come!
[19:06] ---
    The battle's nearing its end now!
[19:09] ---
    It's stuck in a stalemate!
[19:12] ---
    They have the same amount of Life Cloths left,
[19:14] ---
    but No Limit's inability to work
    together really stands out.
[19:18] ---
    Grow!
[19:23] ---
    I freeze your SIGNI with
    Screw Carmilla, Azure Devil.
SIGN    Screw Carmilla, Azure Devil
[19:28] ---
    Now you can't move, can you?
[19:29] ---
    What will you do?
[19:31] ---
    No, no. This is bad. Very bad!
[19:34] ---
    Freeze, of all things?
[19:36] ---
    Akino, do we have anything?
[19:38] ---
    Um... W-We need to remove the freeze first.
[19:42] ---
    Grow!
[19:51] ---
    I'll end it with a direct attack!
[19:53] ---
    I attack!
[19:54] ---
    Wait!
[19:57] ---
    No, Hirana! That attack is...
SIGN    Servant_#
[20:00] ---
    Oh, dear.
[20:01] ---
    I've got plenty of cards, I'm afraid.
[20:04] ---
    No Limit makes a fatal mistake
    near the end of the game!
[20:16] ---
    I'm sorry.
[20:16] ---
    Sorry.
[20:21] ---
    This wasn't even in my calculations,
    unlike last time...
[20:24] ---
    No, I didn't even need to
    calculate this, No Limit.
[20:29] ---
    To tell the truth, I wanted to
    prolong this wonderful operation.
[20:34] ---
    Grow.
[20:39] ---
    We will now enter the final
    phase of the WIXOSS battle.
[20:44] ---
    Whoa! That Grow banished No Limit's SIGNI!
[20:48] ---
    Come forth, my vibrations!
[20:50] ---
    Demon of the Seas!
[20:52] ---
    Our piece activates!
[20:55] ---
    We're ending the operation!
[20:56] ---
    This is our new Universe's Beginning,
    which we found in our last defeat...
[21:03] ---
    Really Crazy Destruction!
[21:06] ---
    Oh, wow!
[21:08] ---
    Its effect caused No Limit
    to lose their entire hand!
[21:12] ---
    Akino, where's your Grow?!
[21:13] ---
    I can't...
[21:14] ---
    I don't have enough Ener!
[21:23] ---
    Akino-chan!
[21:26] ---
    Hirana-chan!
[21:32] ---
    The winners are Universe's Beginning!
[21:35] ---
    What an amazing fight.
