    Dyna
[00:00] ---
    So we haven't found her yet?
[00:03] ---
    Nope. Not a clue where she is.
[00:06] ---
    No need to worry.
    It's just her usual silliness.
[00:11] ---
    For real. She just said,
    "I'm done battling," and left.
[00:15] ---
    She makes no sense.
[00:17] ---
    In any case, find her and bring her back.
[00:20] ---
    Dyna
[00:21] ---
    Even if you have to tie
    a rope around her neck.
[00:23] ---
    ...it begins!
[00:24] ---
    The Premium Battle between Deus
    Ex Machina and MeteoRhythm!

[00:28] ---
    What kind of battle will they have in store?
[00:31] ---
    The battle begins at 4:00 PM!
[02:15] ---
    I guess I got here too early.
[02:18] ---
    But better than being late!
[02:23] ---
    Sorry!
[02:24] ---
    No... I wasn't looking.
[02:26] ---
    Are you okay?
[02:29] ---
    Shunpuudou
[02:30] ---
    That's the taiyaki truck, Shunpuudou!
[02:32] ---
    What? You know it?
[02:34] ---
    Actually, I just saw it online.
[02:37] ---
    A gigantic taiyaki stuffed
    with anko from tip to tail!
[02:41] ---
    It's delicious, they say!
[02:44] ---
    Indeed!
[02:45] ---
    But the food truck is hard to track
    down, so they're not easy to buy.
[02:50] ---
    People call it the UMA of the Modern City!
[02:53] ---
    It's super rare! The legendary
    endangered species of taiyaki!
[02:57] ---
    Endangered? It's going extinct?
[02:59] ---
    But I found intel online that
    says it's coming here today.
[03:06] ---
    Look.
[03:07] ---
    90% chance Shunpuudou appears
    in Kichijouji!
[03:09] ---
    You're right!
[03:10] ---
    What? Where is it?
[03:13] ---
    I'm Excel Minazuki.
[03:15] ---
    What's your name?
[03:17] ---
    Who, me?
[03:19] ---
    I'm... Asu Hirana.
[03:22] ---
    Will you help me find it, Hirana?
[03:26] ---
    I've never been in this area before.
[03:29] ---
    We'll have a much better chance
    of finding it together, right?
[03:33] ---
    Well, I don't know if...
[03:35] ---
    Don't you want it?
[03:37] ---
    You want to eat the legendary,
    rare taiyaki, right?
[03:40] ---
    Right? Right? Right?
[03:42] ---
    B-But I'm meeting up with my friends...
[03:47] ---
    Actually...
[03:48] ---
    My childhood friend is sick in the hospital.
[03:53] ---
    As she lies in bed, she mumbles to herself...
[03:56] ---
    "Just once, I want to eat that taiyaki!"
[04:00] ---
    So I...
[04:04] ---
    Glance.
[04:05] ---
    Your childhood friend!
[04:09] ---
    Then there's no time to waste!
[04:11] ---
    We have to find it now!
[04:13] ---
    Let's go, Excel!
[04:16] ---
    W-Wait...
[04:19] ---
    I made it.
[04:21] ---
    I knew you'd be here first, Rei-chan.
[04:24] ---
    I just got here, too. That leaves...
[04:27] ---
    I knew it... Hirana invited us
    and then didn't show up.
[04:33] ---
    Well, let's just wait for her.
[04:36] ---
    She'll show up eventually.
[04:43] ---
    Another miss, huh?
[04:45] ---
    Where is the legendary rare taiyaki?!
[04:50] ---
    I'm finding it, no matter what!
[04:52] ---
    I can already taste the taiyaki!
[04:54] ---
    Yeah, and your childhood
    friend is waiting, right?
[04:59] ---
    Let's do our best, Excel!
[05:02] ---
    Yeah... R-Right.
[05:05] ---
    Hey, Deus Ex Machina's
    battle is starting soon.
[05:11] ---
    Who do you think will win?
[05:13] ---
    It's gotta be Deus Ex Machina.
    They'll never lose!
[05:19] ---
    That's right!
[05:20] ---
    Deus Ex Machina's battle
    is today! I can't wait!
[05:28] ---
    Wait, Hirana... Do you like Diva battles?
[05:32] ---
    Yeah.
[05:33] ---
    Actually... I fight in Diva battles myself!
[05:39] ---
    My friends and I have a team.
[05:42] ---
    We've been doing well lately, I guess...
[05:45] ---
    We're kind of popular,
    though I guess I shouldn't say that.
[05:50] ---
    Our team's No Limit. You know them?
[05:53] ---
    Nope.
[05:54] ---
    Not at all?
[05:55] ---
    Not at all.
[05:57] ---
    Not in the slightest?
[05:59] ---
    Not in the slightest.
[06:00] ---
    I-I see...
[06:03] ---
    What about you, Excel?
[06:06] ---
    Do you like Diva battles?
[06:08] ---
    Me? Well, I'm... not really interested...
[06:14] ---
    What a waste! They're a ton of fun!
[06:17] ---
    Just thinking about what deck
    to build is exciting.
[06:20] ---
    And you get nervous
    before the battles start,
[06:23] ---
    but once they do, you get super into it.
[06:27] ---
    And if you lose, it's frustrating,
[06:30] ---
    but then you're like,
    "I'll get them next time!"
[06:32] ---
    And when you win, you're super happy!
[06:38] ---
    You're happy when you win, huh?
[06:40] ---
    Yup!
[06:41] ---
    And everyone always gives it their all.
[06:44] ---
    I love Diva battles!
[06:49] ---
    You're cute, Hirana.
[07:02] ---
    That's Eternal Girl. They're—
[07:04] ---
    I know.
[07:06] ---
    To me, Eternal Girl are the only real Divas.
[07:14] ---
    I feel the same way.
[07:17] ---
    I've been chasing them ever since that day...
[07:32] ---
    Look at that!
[07:33] ---
    Star Triangle's attack
    explodes on Eternal Girl!
[07:37] ---
    That's some serious damage!
[07:40] ---
    But if they can't defeat all
    their opponents, it won't end!
[07:46] ---
    It's an Eternal Battle against 100 teams!
[08:03] ---
    If you give up, it's over!
[08:10] ---
    Eternal Girl strikes back!
[08:13] ---
    Where have they been hiding this power?
[08:18] ---
    Wow...
[08:20] ---
    Wow!
[08:22] ---
    Wow!
[08:24] ---
    Wow! Wow!
[08:37] ---
    They defeated their 100th team!
[08:39] ---
    A new legend has been born for Eternal Girl!
[08:46] ---
    Ever since that day...
    when I met Eternal Girl...
[08:50] ---
    I've been chasing after them.
[09:02] ---
    Until the day I reach
    that light... Because...
[09:06] ---
    If you don't give up, there are no limits.
[09:08] ---
    Huh? That's...
[09:10] ---
    April 26th.
[09:12] ---
    Those are the words Eternal Girl
    shared with us in that legendary battle.
[09:18] ---
    Then...
[09:19] ---
    I was in that audience, too.
[09:23] ---
    They shone so brightly...
[09:25] ---
    It made me feel so small.
[09:28] ---
    I'm like you.
[09:30] ---
    I've been chasing after Eternal Girl
    ever since that day.
[09:34] ---
    But...
[09:37] ---
    That's amazing!
[09:38] ---
    So you saw that battle, too, Excel?
[09:40] ---
    This is fate!
[09:42] ---
    Um, fate?
[09:44] ---
    She's late!
[09:46] ---
    How long is she going to keep us waiting?!
[09:48] ---
    I can't get through to her at all.
[09:50] ---
    I called her family, and they
    said she left a long time ago.
[09:55] ---
    Is Hirana-chan okay?
[10:00] ---
    Darn it... If she's okay, she could
    just message us and say so.
[10:04] ---
    She's not a little kid.
[10:06] ---
    I know, right? It's tough dealing with little kids.
[10:09] ---
    She just ran off without thinking
    about how it would affect us.
[10:14] ---
    Snack time's over!
[10:17] ---
    What are you doing, Makina?!
[10:19] ---
    I'm still eating that!
[10:21] ---
    Let's find her already.
[10:24] ---
    It's tough dealing with little kids.
[10:26] ---
    Who're you calling a little kid?!
[10:28] ---
    We don't have much time.
[10:30] ---
    You can pop back here for some
    popcorn later. Pop! Pop!
[10:35] ---
    Your jokes are never funny.
[10:43] ---
    Not here, either!
[10:46] ---
    Jeez... Where are you, Shunpuudou-san?!
[10:51] ---
    Taiyaki-kun!
[10:54] ---
    I'm out of time.
[10:56] ---
    If we looked all around and didn't find it,
    that means our intel was wrong.
[11:03] ---
    I was a fool for believing it.
[11:05] ---
    Let's look a little more!
[11:07] ---
    Your childhood friend is waiting...
[11:11] ---
    Um... that was... a lie.
[11:14] ---
    A lie?
[11:16] ---
    Sorry!
[11:17] ---
    I didn't think you'd come
    with me if I didn't say that.
[11:21] ---
    Thank you, Hirana,
    for putting up with my silly whim.
[11:24] ---
    I had a lot of fun. See ya.
[11:27] ---
    No!
[11:29] ---
    Excel, you really want it, right?
[11:31] ---
    You said you can already taste it, right?
[11:34] ---
    W-Well...
[11:35] ---
    Then you can't give up when you're so close!
[11:39] ---
    Hirana...
[11:40] ---
    If you give up, it's over...
[11:41] ---
    No, if you don't give up,
    there are no limits!
[11:53] ---
    I'm sure Eternal Girl is the same.
[11:55] ---
    Azaela-san and Michaela-san and Gabriela-san
[11:58] ---
    wouldn't give up until they
    could eat the legendary taiyaki.
[12:03] ---
    What are you talking about?
[12:04] ---
    I don't even know.
[12:11] ---
    It's so good! And so huge!
[12:14] ---
    Shunpuudou
[12:14] ---
    Right? We were so lucky to have found it there.
[12:22] ---
    Where?! Where?! Where?! Where?! Where?!
[12:28] ---
    Okay, here's your ultra-large taiyaki.
[12:31] ---
    It's the last one, so I put in extra anko.
[12:36] ---
    It's huge!
[12:38] ---
    Um...
[12:40] ---
    Here!
[12:43] ---
    You're sure?
[12:44] ---
    Okay, then...
[12:45] ---
    Never mind!
[12:49] ---
    Yum!
[12:51] ---
    "Yum," my foot!
[12:53] ---
    Why are you out here eating yummy
    food instead of working? This isn't fair!
[12:56] ---
    Dyna, Makina, what are you doing here?
[12:59] ---
    We could guess where you'd go.
[12:59] ---
    Shunpuudou
[13:03] ---
    These guys are my buddies... I guess.
[13:07] ---
    Hello! I'm Asu Hirana!
[13:11] ---
    Did she cause trouble for you?
[13:13] ---
    She's a little kid, after all.
[13:15] ---
    What?!
[13:16] ---
    Excel, it's time.
[13:20] ---
    Thanks, Hirana.
[13:22] ---
    I'd like to thank you somehow.
[13:25] ---
    There's no need.
[13:27] ---
    I will!
[13:28] ---
    Let's swap addresses.
[13:30] ---
    Okay.
[13:34] ---
    Rei-chan
    Rei-chan
    Rei-chan
    Rei-chan
    Rei-chan
    Rei-chan
    Rei-chan
    Rei-chan
    Rei-chan
[13:36] ---
    Okay, I'll contact you later. Bye-bye!
[13:39] ---
    Bye-bye!
[13:40] ---
    You seem like you're ready to go now.
[13:43] ---
    I guess. My belly's full...
[13:46] ---
    And I met the girl I used to be.
[13:49] ---
    The girl you used to be?
[13:52] ---
    Now, let's get going! There's no time!
[13:55] ---
    You don't get to say that!
[13:57] ---
    Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry!
[14:00] ---
    Jeez... Where do I even start?
[14:04] ---
    I'm so glad you're okay, though.
[14:08] ---
    Sorry... Actually...
[14:12] ---
    Oh, it's from Excel!
[14:14] ---
    Excel?
[14:15] ---
    Deus Ex Machina
[14:15] ---
    Viewing Ticket
[14:16] ---
    A ticket?
[14:17] ---
    This is a platinum ticket
    for Deus Ex Machina!
[14:21] ---
    What?!
[14:28] ---
    The Premium Battle for
    class A is about to begin!
[14:32] ---
    MeteoRhythm, the precise,
    perfect Divas, are ready to go!
[14:37] ---
    They're waiting for the battle to start!
[14:43] ---
    I-Is it okay for us to have
    these fancy seats?
[14:48] ---
    This Excel girl must have
    some solid connections.
[14:52] ---
    Thanks, Excel! I need to
    get you something in return!
[15:01] ---
    There they are!
[15:03] ---
    The unshakable top of the Diva charts!
[15:07] ---
    Deus Ex Machina!
[15:11] ---
    Deus Ex Machina
[15:14] ---
    Look at those Selector Points!
[15:16] ---
    That's why they're the Divas said
    to be closest to Eternal Girl.
[15:21] ---
    Eternal Girl...
[15:24] ---
    You made me worry, so you'd
    better show me a good battle.
[15:33] ---
    Well, let's get this done.
[15:38] ---
    Listen to you.
[15:40] ---
    Do it.
[15:42] ---
    Open!
[15:44] ---
    Grow!
[15:53] ---
    Grow!
[15:59] ---
    Grow!
[16:21] ---
    Grow!
[16:25] ---
    Grow.
[16:34] ---
    Attack!
[16:44] ---
    Grow!
[16:59] ---
    The battle's reached its midpoint!
[17:02] ---
    Both sides are evenly matched.
    Can MeteoRhythm win the day?
[17:06] ---
    We're gonna win it today!
[17:09] ---
    Grow!
[17:19] ---
    Its effect lets me put two SIGNI
    from my Ener Zone into play!
SIGN    Gauche Agnese, Natural Plant Princess
SIGN    Buffalo, Phantom Beast Deity
[17:22] ---
    Mayaya Grows, too!
SIGN    Prairie Sphagnum, Water Phantom
[17:27] ---
    I play one SIGNI!
[17:31] ---
    We activate our piece!
[17:33] ---
    Two SIGNI are banished until end of turn!
[17:40] ---
    They played their piece!
[17:44] ---
    Here we go! Attack!
[17:46] ---
    Deus.
[17:47] ---
    Okay.
[17:48] ---
    Grow.
[18:09] ---
    Life Burst!
[18:11] ---
    One SIGNI's power is reduced by 12,000!
[18:21] ---
    Oh, no!
[18:22] ---
    You're kidding.
[18:24] ---
    We're not done yet!
[18:38] ---
    Uh-oh! It's not quite enough!
[18:42] ---
    MeteoRhythm ends their turn!
[18:45] ---
    Too bad. If you could've attacked
    once more, you might've won.
[18:51] ---
    We haven't lost yet!
[18:53] ---
    We still have SIGNI and Life Cloths!
[18:56] ---
    We'll win on the next turn.
[18:58] ---
    You lose. There won't be a next turn for you.
[19:02] ---
    Grow!
[19:15] ---
    We summon three SIGNI,
[19:17] ---
    and banish with the spell
    Absolute Austere Flames!
[19:29] ---
    That's...
[19:31] ---
    Activating soul...
[19:32] ---
    Engage my soul!
[19:40] ---
    I remove our piece and use my activate ability!
[19:43] ---
    She sacrificed her piece to boost her SIGNI?
[19:46] ---
    Soul Engage effect activates! Banish!
[19:53] ---
    No...
[19:54] ---
    We lost our lives and our SIGNI!
[19:58] ---
    I told you there'd be no next turn.
[20:01] ---
    Here I go!
[20:03] ---
    Final Break!
[20:22] ---
    Deus Ex Machina
[20:23] ---
    We have a winner!
[20:24] ---
    We knew it was coming!
    Deus Ex Machina wins the day!
[20:28] ---
    How long will their
    undefeated legend continue?
[20:36] ---
    Wow...
[20:38] ---
    This is a class A battle.
[20:40] ---
    I want to fight them someday!
[20:49] ---
    Another perfect victory!
[20:53] ---
    You girls really are unstoppable!
[20:56] ---
    Yeah, I guess we are, huh?
[21:01] ---
    But you know, class A winners
    get to pick their next opponent.
[21:06] ---
    I bet there aren't even any teams
    left that you'd want to fight!
[21:11] ---
    That's not true.
[21:12] ---
    We've actually already
    picked our next opponent.
[21:15] ---
    I just picked them now, in fact.
[21:20] ---
    What are you doing, Ex?
[21:22] ---
    You didn't tell me about this!
[21:24] ---
    We, Deus Ex Machina, challenge...
[21:36] ---
    No Limit!
[21:41] ---
    This is my thanks for the taiyaki, Hirana.
[21:45] ---
    Wait... Excel, you're part
    of Deus Ex Machina?
