01x31 - Beautiful Assassin

Post by bunniefuu »

Boy, that ticks me off!

That annoying jerk Kai won!

And against an opponent from
last year's winning team!

But...

Picture it...

This is my true form!

Ride the Vanguard!

The apocalyptic flames that reduce
everything in this world to ashes!

Dragonic Overlord!

I call Dual Axe Archdragon.

Overlord's Counterblast!

With a boost from Bahr, Overlord
attacks your Devil Summoner!

Drive check! Eternal Flame!

Every time his attack hits the rear-guard,

Overlord stands!

I'm going to lose?!

That was an incredible fight...

What am I doing here?!

I'll tell you one thing.

You won't beat me.

Not with that deck.

The fight hasn't even begun,

and she talks like she
can read my whole deck.

But when it comes to reading an opponent's
next move, I have confidence, too.

I'm not going to lose to you!

Begin!

Stand up, Vanguard!

Beautiful Assassin

I'm counting on you, Asaka.

Don't let what happened
to Kyou happen to you...

Fool...

Milk!

Tsukuyomi attacks!

Draw trigger!

The power goes to Milk!

With a boost from Psychic Bird,

Milk attacks Midnight Bunny!

Damage trigger check!

The second match between
Team AL4 and Team Q4!

The second turn is over and Misaki
has already done 2 damage!

Misaki, that's the way!

I'm sure you can win, Misaki!

If Misaki wins this match, Team
Q4 is going to the finals!

Okay, it's my turn next.

And from here on in,

the Pale Moon Circus is going to
show you an abundance of tricks!

I ride Crimson Beast Tamer!

Call!

I hope you'll have a good time, but...

That Pale Moon deck...

It's my first time fighting against it...

but I have knowledge of its cards...

and like always, I'll think ahead of my
opponent's next move and win for sure!

Skull Juggler!

Show her your amusing talent!

His skill is a Soulcharge!

Even worse, with Crimson Beast Tamer,

if another Crimson Beast-tamer is in the
Soul, +3000 can be added to the first's power.

The most important point of the Pale Moon
deck is that it's good at storing up Soul.

If I'm not careful...

Skull Juggler, attack Tsukuyomi!

I guard with Dream Eater!

I'm coming at you with Crimson Beast Tamer!

Driver trigger check!

Damage trigger...

Bicorn gives a boost!

Barking Cerberus, get her!

That'll do for now.

Hmm... They're about equal in ability...

Yeah...

Oh, I don't know about that...

That AL4 chick still has
some trick up her sleeve...

Be careful, Misaki...

It's okay... Her moves aren't unpredictable.

I draw!

Tsukuyomi's skill!

I look at the top five cards of my deck.

If one of them is Goddess of
the Half Moon, Tsukuyomi...

I can superior ride Goddess
of the Half Moon, Tsukuyomi!

I have Crescent Moon and Ichibyoshi in
the Soul, so I can Soulcharge two cards!

Everything's lined up...

Next turn, I can ride Full Moon Tsukuyomi...

I call Silent Tom!

I attack with Silent Tom!

I attack with Tsukuyomi!

Check!

With a boost from Psychic Bird...

Milk attacks!

Spiral Master, stop her!

That's the end of my turn.

Okay, I'll introduce you to one
of the star units of my circus.

I release him from his binding chains
so he can show you his cursed skill.

I ride Barking Manticore!

A grade 3 Pale Moon...

Its skill is being able to draw again...

That, and choosing one card from
your hand to put into the Soul...

And that's not all.

If there's a Crimson Beast-tamer in the
Soul, +3000 can be added to the power of Manticore.

It's like a magician producing
a dove from a hat, right?

I hope you're enjoying the
tricks of the Pale Moon deck.

She's steadily filling up the
Soul, and playing grade 3 cards...

She's strong, as expected...

Skull Juggler, move to the rear!

I call Nightmare Doll Alice!

Manticore, attack Tsukuyomi!

Twin drive, first check...

Second check...

Trigger activated! I add +5000 to the power of
Alice! And I give the extra critical to Manticore!

With a boost from Skull Juggler...

Nightmare Doll Alice attacks!

This is as far as you go!

I guard with Chocolat!

Bicorn boosts!

Cerberus!

Attack Silent Tom!

It's a pain having him around...

Especially with what I have in
mind for the rest of this show...

What does she have up her sleeve?

But she has 4 damage, too...

I'll deal out the remaining


I draw!

I activate Tsukuyomi's skill!

I look at the top five cards from my deck, and if
Goddess of the Full Moon, Tsukuyomi, is in there...

I return the cards to the deck.

In that case, watch me, Mom and Dad.

Gentle light that illuminates the darkness!

Your smile will envelop the world...

I ride Goddess of the Full Moon, Tsukuyomi!

There it is!

It all comes down to this turn!

And there's your star.

I activate Psychic Bird's skill.

I activate Tsukuyomi's skill!

I activate the same skill one more time...

My hand's grown because
of Tsukuyomi's skill...

Now I can put together my strongest lineup!

I move Milk!

I call Coco, Wiseman, Milk and Gemini!

With a boost from Milk,

Scarlet Witch, Coco attacks!

Yeah!



Just 1 more!

With a boost from Milk...

Goddess of the Full Moon, Tsukuyomi attacks!

Dynamite Juggler! It's time for some defense!

And one more of the same!

Tsukuyomi's attack is...

I attack with Wiseman, boosted by Gemini!

I guard with Candy Clown!

The shields are all 10000?!

Grade 0...

So that's why she took
out Silent Tom first...

Correct.

Silent Tom would've gotten in
the way of using their talents.

She can see further than me how
the fight is going to play out!

Well, it's about time to bring
this show to its cl*max.

I'll show you the true form of our circus.

Cerberus exits the field!

I call Midnight Bunny and
Nightmare Doll Alice!

But Cerberus and Alice are equal in power...

Why would she make a switch?!

You realized, didn't you?

If Alice's attack hits, she trades
places with an ally in the Soul.

And if the unit that Midnight Bunny
boosts has a successful attack,

she'll also trade places
with an ally in the Soul.

Savage beasts lurk within the
darkness that is the Soul.

And there's no way to escape it...

This secret assassination technique
of my circus is called:

Deadly Shadow Beast!

This is why Asaka is known as the
"Assassin" within the Foo Fighters...

Nightmare Doll Alice!

Attack Tsukuyomi with a boost from Bicorn!

I won't let you!

I attack with Manticore,
boosted by Midnight Bunny!

Power 20000!

No guard!

Twin drive...

First check...

Second check...

Oh, no... Now a draw trigger?!

I add +5000 to the power of the
Alice that hasn't attacked yet.

And I draw.

Assassin lurking in the darkness...

Show yourself...

Midnight Bunny's Counterblast!

Bunny goes to the Soul...

And from that Soul, I superior
call Crimson Beast Tamer!

My original Alice exits the field.

With a boost from Skull Juggler...

Nightmare Doll Alice attacks!

I guard with Dream Eater and Silent Tom!

Wiseman intercepts!

Reading what an opponent is going
to do is how an assassin survives...

I knew this was going to happen...

With this third attack, you've exhausted
all of the units you can use to defend.

Therefore, with a fourth attack, I'll win.

Most assuredly...

I dedicate this winning blow

to a viewer of my circus,
a man who knows no rival,

the great Ren!

Go, Crimson Beast Tamer!

The winner, Asaka Narumi!

You were reading my moves too, weren't you?

But you've still got a lot to learn.

In fact, it's not just thinking ahead.

You need to learn how to put
together your deck, too.

You're no threat to me, after all.

This was the first time I've seen that...

You, provoking an opponent during a match.

Is that right?

And it seems like the fight didn't
go quite as easily as usual for you.

I'm sorry, Mom and Dad...

I hate to admit it,

but she's right.

I have a ways to go when it comes to reading
my opponent's moves and putting together a deck.

I... I...

I'm not good enough, the way I am...

Misaki...

Even Misaki lost...

And it was like she was toyed with...

Is this the power of AL4?

I'm going to fight him next...

Do your best... Do your
best... Do your best...

It'll be fine, Brother!

As long as I'm there, no probable!

You mean "no problem", don't you?

To bring Kamui back, too...

I have to... I have to win!

Next up is the third match!

Fighters, get ready!

The elimination round was easy, wasn't it?

But in the final tournament,
we'll be facing AL4...

So we'd better focus.

Kamui, where are you?!

Owww... I'm running into
a lot of people today...

Hey! Watch where you're going when you walk!

Oh, sorry!

Actually, I ran into you...

I'm sorry!

Are you okay? Were you hurt?

I'm fine!

Excuse me, are you all right?

Yeah...

Y-You're Team Caesar!

And you're...

Yep! I didn't get to fight you last time,

but we're Team Handsome. I'm Gouki
Daimonji and this is my little sister...

I'm Nagisa!

I'm Emi Sendou.

Sendou? Then...

Nagisa, were you calling for
the Kamui who's in Team Q4?

You know about Kamui?

Where is he right now?!

Um, we became acquainted with him,

but we don't know where he is...

Disappointing...

Kamui, that twerp...

Where is he, and what the heck is he doing?!

He blows off the national
championship?! Unbelievable!

Maybe you haven't heard anything
about the circumstances?

Circumstances?

I think it'd be all right
to tell them, don't you?

Yeah... The reason he disappeared...

Reason?

Yeah. See, your friend Kamui was...

All right, the A Block elimination
round, Team AL4 versus Team Q4...

At last, the third match! And
it's so thrilling, isn't it?!

Oh, yes, it is!

On the roster for Team AL4,
it just lists "Tetsu",

but simple is best, isn't it?

Versus Aichi Sendou of Team Q4!

The cl*max is close at hand!

I'm going to redraw.

I'll do the same...

Even with a redraw, I don't
have any grade 2 cards...

Still, I have no choice but to go with these!

The third match...

Begin!

Stand up, Vanguard!

This is a cool field, right?

The opponent's got a Dark
Irregulars deck, huh?

Vermilion Gatekeeper!

Barcgal!

It's my turn. I draw!

I ride Little Sage, Marron!

Barcgal moves!

And then, with Barcgal's skill, I
superior call Flogal from the deck!

I draw!

I ride Prisoner Beast!

I activate Vermilion Gatekeeper's skill!

Soulcharge!

I call Prisoner Beast and Alluring Succubus!

I activate Succubus's skill!

Soulcharge!

And then I call Nightmare Baby!

Prisoner Beast...

Attack Marron!

No guard!

Damage trigger check!

I attack with my Vanguard, Prisoner Beast!

No guard!

Drive trigger check!

Hey, the fight's just starting!

You sure it's okay to get
bombarded with attacks?

With a boost from Nightmare Baby,

Alluring Succubus attacks!

No guard!

Damage trigger check!

Critical trigger!

Here?!

His timing is terrible...

My turn is finished.

I stand and draw!

I'm not taking damage
here in order to lose...

It's to win!

Certainly, it's a dangerous gamble...

But if I don't do at least this much, I'm
sure I won't be able to beat this guy from AL4...

And I'm determined to win here!

Then Kai, Misaki, Kamui and I...

can go to the finals together!

Misaki, you were one step ahead of your
opponent in the fight, but still...

I lost.

I was inferior to her in both technique
and predicting what would happen...

My next opponent is...

Tetsu!

You look like you're ready to
handle such a big responsibility.

But even so, you're no match
for me, the "General"!

I... I have to win!

Kamui, watch me!

Next time: Demon World General!

I'm being hit by a stream of images!

He's... strong!
