[00:00] ---
    Futuring Diva continues, as No Limit tastes
    their first defeat and continues to fall!
[00:07] ---
    They've dropped out of the race to win!
[00:10] ---
    Kyuru Kyurun and Universe's Beginning,
    however, are putting up a strong showing!
[00:15] ---
    Their teams are in great shape!
[00:18] ---
    I can't wait to see—
[00:27] ---
    Is it better if I'm not here?
[02:26] ---
    Akino-chan, I'm sorry!
    I'm going to skip practice today.
    I've got another make-up exam,
    and Rei-chan's helping me study...
[02:26] ---
    Sorry, Akino. Can we wait till
    tomorrow to practice?
[02:27] ---
    Akino, are you still thinking
    about that match?
[02:31] ---
    I'm sorry
[02:32] ---
    Don't worry about it!
[02:37] ---
    That's right. We lost our shot at winning,
    but there are more matches to come.
    Let's work out a plan for our next battle.
[02:41] ---
    Yeah! We need to hang in there to the
    end, for our Selectors! Oh, I'll get in
    touch again when I'm done studying,
    okay?
[02:56] ---
    Even at a time like this, they're
    still looking toward the future,
[03:00] ---
    and thinking about the team.
[03:19] ---
    Akino-chan didn't answer.
[03:22] ---
    She probably feels responsible.
[03:24] ---
    It's my fault for saying
    we should do Diva Time.
[03:29] ---
    We didn't understand how she really felt.
[03:32] ---
    I'm responsible, too.
[03:35] ---
    At this rate, Akino will...
[03:37] ---
    Don't worry.
[03:39] ---
    Akino-chan won't run away
    over something like that.
[03:42] ---
    I want to believe it's okay, too.
[03:45] ---
    But... there are things you don't want
    to lose because you love them.
[03:48] ---
    So there's something to be said for
    quitting before you start hating them.
[03:52] ---
    Maybe, but I want to
    prioritize how she feels.
[03:57] ---
    Yeah. What she needs to do now is
[04:02] ---
    figure out for herself what she wants to do.
[04:05] ---
    For herself?
[04:06] ---
    Yeah, she needs to think for herself.
[04:11] ---
    She has to conquer her past
    trauma by herself, I think.
[04:23] ---
    Akino, you can pack up.
[04:26] ---
    Okay, thanks.
[04:37] ---
    I'm sorry about what happened
    with Futuring Diva.
[04:43] ---
    Yeah.
[04:51] ---
    It's hard being part of a team.
[04:54] ---
    One member's actions can
    affect the team as a whole.
[04:57] ---
    So everyone worries.
[05:00] ---
    The reverse is also true, though.
[05:03] ---
    Akino, why not talk to me
    about what you're feeling?
[05:10] ---
    Even after we lost the match,
    they didn't blame me.
[05:15] ---
    They were looking forward
    and thinking about the team.
[05:19] ---
    But I'm only thinking about myself...
[05:23] ---
    So...
[05:25] ---
    So if I stay, I'll just cause trouble for them.
[05:30] ---
    For their sake, I should...
[05:34] ---
    That's how you feel, Akino?
[05:40] ---
    Of course, if that's how you really
    feel, they'll respect that.
[05:45] ---
    I think that either way, you should
    make a choice you won't regret.
[05:51] ---
    Regret?
[05:53] ---
    Yes. In the end, no matter what you decide,
[05:56] ---
    if you've truly faced what's in
    your heart, you won't regret it.
[06:10] ---
    Sorry, I just finished!
    You okay? Akino-chan?
[06:31] ---
    Wish in.
[06:36] ---
    Yes.
[06:37] ---
    You hit a wall.
[06:38] ---
    You worry. You think for yourselves.
[06:47] ---
    This form will complete
    the deletion of your Diva.
[06:51] ---
    Are you sure?
[06:53] ---
    Akino
[07:01] ---
    Oh, I know you...
[07:03] ---
    Miss Akino, from No Limit.
[07:06] ---
    It's rare to see you alone.
[07:08] ---
    Where are your other servants?
[07:10] ---
    Oh, well...
[07:12] ---
    I repeat.
[07:13] ---
    This form will complete
    the deletion of your Diva.
[07:19] ---
    What?!
[07:24] ---
    I see.
[07:26] ---
    I knew something was up with No Limit...
[07:30] ---
    So that was it.
[07:33] ---
    Well, everyone has something
    they're not good at.
[07:37] ---
    But if you analyze it scientifically
    and overcome it...
[07:41] ---
    The Doctor is still afraid of the dark
[07:43] ---
    and can't go to the bathroom alone at night.
[07:45] ---
    Don't tell her that!
[07:48] ---
    You'll need to fix that if you want to
    keep being the Hell Doctor of Darkness.
[07:51] ---
    No, no, no.
[07:52] ---
    Even the Hell Doctor of Darkness
    is scared of scary things!
[07:56] ---
    And that's not even my name!
[08:00] ---
    S-Sorry... but it's kind of...
[08:04] ---
    That's right. We don't keep silly secrets.
[08:07] ---
    That's what makes Universe's Beginning
    impregnable and indivisible.
[08:11] ---
    Also, Nova consumes vast amounts of sweets
    to "activate" her brain cells, she says.
[08:18] ---
    But she actually just likes them.
[08:21] ---
    Bang, revealing any more information
[08:24] ---
    would be a top-class forbidden
    act, even in the underworld.
[08:27] ---
    Please stop!
[08:30] ---
    I think I get it, just a little.
[08:33] ---
    Get what?
[08:35] ---
    When we fought last in Futuring Diva,
[08:38] ---
    I asked myself, "Why are they so
    optimistic even when they're losing?"
[08:45] ---
    But it's because you have a
    relationship where you can even
[08:50] ---
    enjoy causing trouble for each
    other, and helping each other.
[08:54] ---
    I get it!
[08:55] ---
    You think too much about others!
[08:58] ---
    You should think about yourself!
[09:01] ---
    Think about myself?
[09:03] ---
    You should think more about others, Nova.
[09:07] ---
    What?!
[09:08] ---
    That's what I'd like to say,
    but you may be right.
[09:12] ---
    If you've really chosen your answer,
[09:15] ---
    I think those two will accept it.
[09:18] ---
    In both programming and life,
[09:19] ---
    if you're having trouble, you should
    go back to where you started.
[09:24] ---
    Go back to where I started?
[09:26] ---
    Yes, in other words, to you yourself.
[09:30] ---
    What have you accomplished up to now?
[09:34] ---
    Up until now...
[09:41] ---
    That's right!
[09:42] ---
    I never really decided anything myself!
[09:46] ---
    I just made the others decide.
[09:49] ---
    And now I'm using how I think they
    feel about me as an excuse to quit.
[09:53] ---
    You've finally realized
    the truth of this world?
[09:56] ---
    Yes, in the end, what matters is how you feel.
[09:59] ---
    Whether you like it or you don't.
[10:00] ---
    Isn't that enough?
[10:07] ---
    I like WIXOSS.
[10:11] ---
    I like Hirana-chan and Rei-chan.
[10:15] ---
    I like the Diva battles I fight with them.
[10:18] ---
    I like No Limit!
[10:21] ---
    So...
[10:23] ---
    So I... I don't want to quit!
[10:39] ---
    Futuring Diva is nearing its climax!
[10:45] ---
    Today's battle is No Limit versus Card Jockey!
[10:51] ---
    Oh, wow! What's going on here?
[10:56] ---
    No Limit's center isn't
    Hirana as usual! It's Akino!
[11:04] ---
    No Limit dropped out of the race for the win,
[11:07] ---
    but look at this! They've got a new center!
[11:12] ---
    Diva Battles usually have defined roles.
[11:16] ---
    It's rare for a center to change.
[11:19] ---
    Maybe we'll see what's
    going on in the battle.
[11:22] ---
    I can't wait to find out.
[11:26] ---
    I've never seen you be the center before.
[11:30] ---
    Um... yeah.
[11:32] ---
    You can't win, so it's time to test.
[11:34] ---
    But the audience won't like it
    if you don't bring your best.
[11:37] ---
    You've got it wrong!
[11:38] ---
    Akino-chan's the best!
[11:40] ---
    Just watch! You'll regret it!
[11:45] ---
    That's right.
[11:46] ---
    We'll give it our best, so give it yours.
[11:50] ---
    I will.
[11:57] ---
    Open!
[11:59] ---
    The battle between No Limit
    and Card Jockey has begun!

[12:03] ---
    Akino...
[12:03] ---
    What drama do they have in store for us?
[12:08] ---
    Let me be the center for the
    last battle of Futuring Diva.
[12:12] ---
    Wh-What's gotten into you, Akino-chan?
[12:15] ---
    I like WIXOSS, and I like both of you, too!
[12:20] ---
    I want to fight the Diva battles with you!
[12:22] ---
    So I need to change the weak person I am!
[12:26] ---
    So please, let me be the center!
[12:28] ---
    Are you sure, Akino?
[12:31] ---
    Being the center means...
[12:33] ---
    Yeah.
[12:33] ---
    I think about what happens if we lose,
[12:37] ---
    or if I fail in front of everyone...
[12:40] ---
    And to be honest, I'm scared.
[12:44] ---
    But what I'm even more scared of
[12:46] ---
    is always being afraid.
[12:49] ---
    So I need to overcome that.
[12:50] ---
    Akino-chan!
[12:52] ---
    It's the last battle of the tournament.
[12:54] ---
    Let's make sure we have no regrets.
[12:56] ---
    Thank you, Hirana-chan, Rei-chan!
[13:02] ---
    Okay, time to up the BPM.
[13:07] ---
    Sure. Leave it to me.
[13:08] ---
    Now, can you keep up with
    our rhythm and rhymes?
[13:13] ---
    I play Code Art K Ichude; Musuzaku, Phantom Beast; and Alphard, Natural Star!
SIGN    Code Art F. Lashli
SIGN    Code Art F. Lashli
[13:16] ---
    Musuzaku, Phantom Beast
SIGN    Alphard, Natural Star
[13:19] ---
    All attack triggers, tappin' on your door.
[13:27] ---
    Turn end.
[13:29] ---
    Now it's No Limit's turn!
[13:32] ---
    Draw!
[13:39] ---
    I play Haniel, adding SIGNI with
    levels of two or less to my hand!
SIGN    Haniel, Holy Angel
SIGN    Percival, Holy Crimson General
SIGN    Bow, Medium Equipment
[13:42] ---
    I play them and end my turn!
[13:45] ---
    No attacking?
[13:47] ---
    A defense strategy, then.
[13:49] ---
    There's this rule I always kept up
    without really thinking about it.
[13:56] ---
    If I'd done something in the past,
    I had to keep doing it.
[13:59] ---
    She's throwing off our BPM.
[14:00] ---
    This is tough to handle.
[14:02] ---
    A longer battle, then.
    Let's store up our Ener.
[14:05] ---
    Okay. Go for it, Wolf.
[14:10] ---
    Grow.
[14:15] ---
    My effect increases my Ener.
[14:18] ---
    But you know, maybe that was
    just what I was telling myself.
[14:22] ---
    Because there are infinite ways to fight!
[14:29] ---
    Making Akino the center changes
    No Limit's aggressive style a lot.
[14:36] ---
    Card Jockey's plans have been thrown way off.
[14:40] ---
    So what happens now?
[14:47] ---
    They'll be attacking us in the
    latter part of the battle.
[14:51] ---
    Can you change our strategy a little?
[14:52] ---
    Yeah, that's fine.
[14:54] ---
    Hirana-chan, can you Grow?
[14:56] ---
    Okay! Grow!
[14:59] ---
    My Grow effect banishes Musuzaku!
SIGN    Ma Chao, Holy General
[15:04] ---
    Then I play a punishment... and attack!
[15:13] ---
    Whoa! She's got a good balance
    between attack and defense!
[15:17] ---
    This'll be hard to handle!
[15:19] ---
    What a great strategic shift!
[15:22] ---
    People and strategies have to keep changing.
[15:27] ---
    So I'm really grateful to both
    of you for giving me the chance.
[15:33] ---
    Akino-chan...
[15:34] ---
    Akino...
[15:39] ---
    She seems like a real pro.
[15:42] ---
    We'll need to up the tempo to match.
[15:45] ---
    Grow!
[15:51] ---
    Okay, I'll put on a song to heat up the room.
[15:55] ---
    Grow!
[16:01] ---
    I'll crash your life cloth directly!
[16:10] ---
    Akino-chan!
[16:11] ---
    I'm still okay.
[16:14] ---
    Akino, it's time to move to the climax.
[16:17] ---
    Yeah, I need to finish this.
[16:22] ---
    She makes a good center, too!
[16:24] ---
    That's my A-chan!
[16:27] ---
    You have a nickname for her now?
[16:29] ---
    This is an interesting phenomenon.
[16:32] ---
    Doctor, you wanted friends, didn't you?
[16:36] ---
    Wh-What? Just leave me alone!
[16:41] ---
    This is a great battle on both their parts.
[16:44] ---
    Card Jockey is impressive,
[16:46] ---
    but Akino's strategic knowledge
    is really paying off.
[16:54] ---
    Now, it's peak time!
[16:58] ---
    Selectors, let's heat up the floor!
[17:33] ---
    It's okay.
[17:35] ---
    Your deck's the best in the world.
[17:39] ---
    That's right.
[17:41] ---
    Believe in us.
[17:43] ---
    And believe in yourself!
[17:45] ---
    Yup!
[17:46] ---
    We're with you!
[17:54] ---
    Yeah.
[17:55] ---
    Thanks, both of you.
[17:58] ---
    I'm not scared anymore!
[18:01] ---
    I'll show you my power!
[18:05] ---
    Grow!
[18:13] ---
    Piece activated!
SIGN    Servant_#
[18:20] ---
    My Grow effect activates!
[18:21] ---
    I discard Servant from my hand and
    return two SIGNI to my opponent's hand!
[18:28] ---
    Hirana-chan! Rei-chan!
[18:32] ---
    Look at that!
[18:33] ---
    She abandoned her guard card for an effect!
[18:38] ---
    Oh, no!
[18:39] ---
    She's going all-in now?
[18:43] ---
    Go to the top!
[19:05] ---
    Good job, Mirage.
[19:07] ---
    What's this?
[19:10] ---
    No Limit couldn't finish their opponent.
[19:13] ---
    No!
[19:15] ---
    Now you've got nothing left, right?
[19:17] ---
    My turn! I play three SIGNIs
    and attack with all!
[19:23] ---
    This isn't good!
[19:25] ---
    No Limit has gone all-in on the attack!
[19:31] ---
    Akino!
[19:31] ---
    Akino-chan!
[19:44] ---
    The match ends with an amazing finish!
[19:48] ---
    The winners are Card Jockey!
[19:57] ---
    Not bad.
[20:03] ---
    Akino-chan...
[20:05] ---
    I...
[20:07] ---
    I had so much fun giving it my all.
[20:13] ---
    But losing was... really... really...
[20:20] ---
    I always thought...
[20:24] ---
    failing and losing were embarrassing,
[20:28] ---
    but I was wrong.
[20:33] ---
    They're frustrating.
[20:42] ---
    The winners of Futuring Diva are Card Jockey!
[20:47] ---
    And they're showing off their
    new song in their Diva Time!
[20:53] ---
    Now, let's hear it!
[20:56] ---
    "Endless Punchline!"
[21:01] ---
    The tournament sure flew by, huh?
[21:05] ---
    Yeah. A lot happened, but it was really fun!
[21:10] ---
    Yeah, though there was some trouble.
[21:13] ---
    Yeah, really...
[21:17] ---
    You caused the trouble, you know!
[21:19] ---
    Yeah, well, you can't make an
    omelette without breaking some kegs.
[21:23] ---
    That's "breaking some eggs."
[21:26] ---
    What is wrong with you?
[21:28] ---
    You pointed at me!
    Even my dad's never pointed at me!
[21:31] ---
    What's that even mean?
[21:32] ---
    Um, can I say something?
[21:35] ---
    I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused.
[21:40] ---
    But I want to keep fighting alongside you.
[21:44] ---
    And I'll do my best in our performance!
[21:50] ---
    Yeah!
