01x21 - Rematch in the Finals!

[bunniefuu]

All right, it's time for the
regional tournament final match!

Laugh or cry, this is it!

The last battle!

Certainly, until just a little while ago...

I know! If I left here...

I'm sure Misaki would fill in...

I would never fight a guy

who ran away, even once.

Final turn!

F-Final turn, you say?!

I ride Blazing Flare Dragon!

I activate Blazing Flare Dragon's skill.

When your opponent's card has
been moved to the Drop Zone,

the Dragon's power increases by
+3000 until the end of the turn.

What?!

I attack with Blazing Flare!

N-No! I can't defend myself!

Twin drive check.

First...

Second...

Got a double critical trigger!

But while watching Kai's fight,
I've finally realized...

I wanna be as strong as you,
and challenge you to a fight again!

And yet, here I was, only thinking
about losing or running away...

That doesn't do any good!

The third match of the regional
championship final fight...

Let's start!

Stand up, Vanguard!

Stand up, Vanguard!

All right, it's the final match
of the regional tournament!

Team Handsome versus Team Q4!

The last battle has begun!

The outcome of this match decides which
team will go to the national tournament!

This, the final fight of
the regional tournament!

Which team is gonna go to nationals?!

Do your best, Aichi.

Please! Don't make me marry Nagisa!

Yeesh.

Okay, Team Handsome and Team Q4,

surprisingly enough, this third match
is also part of the Wedding Fight.

No, it's not!

You're so cute when you're
embarrassed, Kamui!

In the second match, we had Granblue
versus Dragon Empire Kagero Army.

And Ka-boom got a good thrashing...

Oh, I beg your pardon.



Ka-boom...

What kind of battle are we going
to see in this final match?!

Expectations can't help
but run high for this one!

Rematch in the Final Match!!

My turn, and I draw!

I ride the Little Sage, Marron!

Barcgal moves to the rear-guard circle!

And then I use Barcgal's
skill to call Flogal!

That's it.

It's Gouki's turn.

I've played him once before...

My only chance rides on this
damage trigger check...

I lose.

I know exactly what your level of play is.

And it's not high enough to beat me.

It's my turn, and I draw.

Here I go! I ride...

Dandy Guy, Romario!

I use Guiding Zombie's skill to
move it to the rear-guard circle!

I call Samurai Spirit!

I call Rough Seas Banshee!

But that's not all.

There's a Granblue unit here, so
I can use the Banshee's skill.

I put Banshee in the Soul...

and draw one card.

What's with these trifling moves?

Trifling...?

Well, after all, he calls a unit out and
then sends it to the Soul right away...

It may be trifling to you...

But with the skill he just used, his Soul
increases without taking anything away from his hand.

And increasing his Soul here means...

he's lining up his sights for
something a little later on.

Here I go!

With a boost from Samurai Spirit...

Guiding Zombie powers up...

and attacks Marron!

Damage trigger check!

Next, Romario attacks Marron!

Drive check!

Damage trigger check!



That ends my turn.

Big brother, go, go!

Just a little more, and then
I'll get to marry Kamui!

Brother, I'm counting on you!
The rest of my life is at stake!

It is Gouki, after all.

But...

But I decided not to run away!

Not from this place...

And not from my feelings!

So...

I'll show you...

how I can change!

With Barcgal's skill, I call the
Future Knight, Llew, from my deck!

And then, I use Llew's Counterblast!

Llew goes to the Soul!

Barcgal and Flogal move to the Soul too!

Come forth, Blaster Blade!

Stand up, my avatar!

Superior Ride, Blaster Blade!

So he used Barcgal and Llew's skills
together to bring out Blaster Blade...

Isn't this the first time Aichi has
done that kind of combination maneuver?

It seems like he's kind of fired up.

He's different from last time...

I call the Knight of Silence,
Gallatin, Wingal, and Marron!

Yes!

What do you think about that?!

Aichi's made small moves too, but
now his units are all lined up!

But he doesn't have any grade 3s out there!

Would you stop talking nonsense?!

I attack Romario with Marron!

Damage trigger!

Blaster Blade...

attacks Romario!

Drive trigger!

I got heal trigger!

I add +5000 to the power of Gallatin!

And then I heal 1 point of damage!

Damage check!

Critical trigger!

I give the power to Romario!

I attack your Romario with
Gallatin, boosted by Wingal!

I defend with Rick the Ghostie!

I end my turn.

Looks like you've improved since last time.

But you haven't caught up yet!

At the bottom of the deep blue sea, where even
sunlight doesn't reach, there are undead pirates!

I ride Captain Nightmist!

It's here! Nightmist, the one
that plagued me last time!

I resurrect Captain Nightmist!

Pirates can be resurrected
any number of times.

From the Drop Zone, with a Counterblast?

Here it comes at last,
Gouki's k*ller pattern...

Infinite Resurrection Hell!

If he activates that maneuver,
there's no escape!

I call Ruin Shade!

And then I call Evil Shade!

Ruin Shade attacks Blaster Blade!

I activate Ruin Shade's skill!

I put two cards from my deck into
the Drop Zone to add +2000 power!

I also activate Nightmist's skill!

When did he...?!

Just now, Ruin Shade called him for me...

Another Nightmist is in the Drop Zone,
so during my turn, he gains +3000 power!

Is this the same maneuver he did last time?!

He combined Ruin Shade's skill with
Nightmist to power Nightmist up?!

You'll rue the day you recklessly
opposed the pirates!

Aichi...

That Gouki person seems
to be really strong...

I hope you're gonna be okay...

He'll be fine, Miss Emi!

Your brother is fighting for Kamui
the Great. There's no way he'll lose!

NW, yo!

For "Kamui the Great"? I
don't know about that...

Exactly! Who would fight on behalf
of that snotty little brat?!

Right! He's fighting for the tea...

Aichi's acting as my
proxy in this tournament.

Well, anyway...

It's an important Vanguard fight, but
regardless of who wins and loses,

Just cheer on your brother,
who's fighting as hard as he can!

That's what matters the most.

Yep! Yep!

Right?

Yeah!

Do your best, Aichi!

It's still early in the fight.

That being said, I can see he hasn't
made it to the nationals for nothing.

All right, this fight is really heating up!

The pirates that have even disembarked
at nationals are about to wreak havoc!

Give him a taste of your blade, Ruin Shade!

Damage trigger check!

Evil Shade gives a boost!

Here I go!

I activate Evil Shade's skill!

I put the top two cards from
my deck into the Drop Zone...

and then I add +4000 power
to my Vanguard, Nightmist!

Drive check!

Damage trigger check!

H-He's strong...

Wow...

That Nightmist is like a ninja, right?

Oh, you mean like ninja
"mist", where they don't actually disappear?

What a shame... If only it were a grade 3...

That's what you're thinking about?!

The grade 3 obsession is alive and well!

Grade 3 obsession...

G3O, yo.

Not unexpected, from someone who has
experience playing at nationals...

He's good, isn't he?

Brother, please do your best!

At this rate, I'm gonna be
tied up like a box and fan!

Oh! You mean "tied to a ball and chain"!

Gouki really is an incredibly
strong player...

But...

But...

I have to beat this strong opponent!

Everyone...

That's right. Right now, I'm with friends...

If we fight together, I know we can win!

For the sake of my friends in Team Q4, too...

I swear...

I swear I'll win!

Now he's motivated!

I can tell his attitude
is "win it for the team"!

What are you, a psychic?

Sorry. I forgot you sucked at
reading your surroundings.

I can read my surroundings
just fine, thank you!

Let's see, my surroundings
is mostly air...

so it's about 8 parts
nitrogen, 2 parts oxygen...

You actually remember
the composition of air.

I don't think that'll cut the mustard.

And to prove it, I'll give
you another point of damage!

Samurai Spirit boosts...

Guiding Zombie, who attacks!

I'm not gonna let him do any more damage!

I guard with the Future Knight, Llew!

I still gave you 2 damage.

That's the end of my turn.

Hmmm...

What is it?

Something about that boy looks
different from before...

You're right.

I know, right?!

Fine, you're right.

It's my turn!

I draw!

Here I go!

Enter the fray, King of all Knights!

I ride the King of Knights, Alfred!

Yesss! It's Alfred!

If Brother wins with this...

Kamui! I love you!

I beg you, Alfred! Cut off this
string with your holy sword!

Look! Aichi's gonna start attacking!

Marron, go to the back!

Okay!

Alfred's Counterblast!

I summon a grade 2 or lower
Royal Paladin from the deck!

Let's go, everyone!

Yeah!!

It's like the knights are gonna
try to subjugate the pirates!

Well, he's got a grade 3 out!

He'll get by.

He'll get by?!

I power up Gallatin with Wingal's boost!

He attacks Nightmist!

No guard!

Damage check!

Fellow Royal Paladins...

Lend me your strength as soldiers!

No guard!

Twin drive...

First check!

Second check!

Feel the mighty power of the holy sword!

Great sword attack!

Damage check!

We pirates have the luck of the devil!

I got heal trigger!

I add +5000 to Nightmist's power!

And heal 1 point of damage!

Marron gives a boost!

Gordon attacks!

I defend with Nightmist!

My turn is over.

I couldn't do more than 1 point of damage...

With luck, I only took 1 point of damage
this turn... but I can't underestimate him.

He's different than last time.

Look at Gouki! He can't believe it!

They each have 3 damage...

Aichi, you've managed to
hold the line all this time.

He's improved a bit, don't you think?

Not really.

What do you think, Kai?!

Aichi's gotten a little better, hasn't he?!

Y'know?!

Yep! Yep!

All right: So far, we've got a tie!

It's a good showdown! A captivating battle!

In fact, this final match of the final fight
of the regional tournament is a-poppin'!

Even me, MC Mya -- I'm so
excited, I can't contain myself!

Waiting Room
Ultra-rare

But I ask you, who can sit
here and not be fired up?!

It really is captivating, isn't it?

Right?!

Huh? Have I caught a cold?

Up 'til now, this fight's been so-so.

But!

It isn't up to the level of
a fight at nationals yet!

Starting now, though, I'm gonna
teach you the real power of pirates,

the pirates who sailed through the
watery wilderness of nationals!

Here I go!

I call Knight Spirit!

I activate the skill of Spirit Exceed!

I move Samurai Spirit and
Knight Spirit to the Soul!

When the Vanguard is grade 2,

Spirit Exceed's skill lets it
take over the Vanguard position!

Dead soul, materialize in this mortal world!

Superior Ride!

Spirit Exceed!

A grade 3 came from the Drop Zone?!

What, did you think Nightmist was the only
denizen of the deep that could be resurrected?!

I think I've told you before...

Pirates can be resurrected
any number of times!

It's starting... Gouki's
Infinite Resurrection Hell!

Anyone who gets caught by
Gouki's trademark maneuver...

...has absolutely no chance
of bouncing back, ka-boom!

If you'd won, Kaoru, we wouldn't
even need to be standing here!

Right, ka-boom...

Guiding Zombie moves to the rear.

I summon one more Spirit Exceed here!

Raise the sails, you scalawags!

Show him the pirate spirit!

There are two grade 3's in the front row!

He's powered up to the max!

Can Aichi withstand this attack?!

Aichi...

Brother...

Gouki is really strong!

How long can I hold out?!

Aichi, have you heard this before?

"The best defense is a good offense."

On the other hand, a defensive fight...

You lose.

Oh, that's right! If I lose...

The team loses.

Kai, Misaki, Kamui...

That's right! I decided to
do my best for everyone!

Kai, everyone... Watch me!

Next time: The Holy Dragon Descends

I'll picture it...

Me winning this fight!
