01x48 - Solitary Fight

[bunniefuu]

Team Q4 versus FFBS!

Which of them is the
strongest team in C Block?!

...Guess it can't be helped.

And his opponent from Q4 is also here!

B-Brother!

Why?!

I rested up a bit.

I'm all right now.

But I guess I'm a little
disappointed in you two.

Without me out here, Q4 can't win.

I was convinced you'd run away.

Oh, please. There's no need for me
to be afraid of someone like you.

I'm... stronger... than anyone!

Aichi Sendou is the third fighter?

They saved the weakest for last?

Aichi!

Aichi really needs to be
resting! What should I do?

Misaki!

Kamui...

Solitary Fight

Aichi Sendou of Team Q4

versus Kiriya Bidou of Team BS!

Bidou is so dreamy!

Bidou!

Enjoy a glorious win against
that dull-looking boy!

What's with all the Bidou love?

He's just a smug, scrawny jerk!

...is what he said!

Me?!

I'm sorry!

Could a guy like this really have
mastered the Shadow Paladin deck?

I'll beat you right in front of Ren!

Ren...

If Bidou wins this fight, are you going
to give him the vacant spot on AL4?

Only if he satisfies me.

If he satisfies me...

And now, the third match. Begin!

Stand up, Vanguard!

Fullbau!

Hades Ringmaster!

I go first.

Draw!

I ride Skull Juggler.

Then I use the skill of the
Hades Ringmaster to Soulcharge.

On top of that, I use Skull Juggler's
skill to send one more card to the Soul.

That's the end of my turn.

It's my turn.

I draw.

I ride Blaster Javelin.

I activate Fullbau's skill.

When I ride Blaster Javelin on this unit,

I can take Blaster Dark from
my deck and add it to my hand.

Fullbau is in the Soul, so
Javelin gains +2000 power.

I call Black Sage, Charon.

I attack Skull Juggler with Charon!

Damage check.

Heal trigger.

I add +5000 to the power of Skull Juggler.

Blaster Javelin attacks.

Drive check.

That's the end of my turn.

I stand and draw.

I ride Elephant Juggler!

I call Barking Cerberus and Midnight Bunny!

Elephant Juggler's skill...

Soulcharge.

I attack Blaster Javelin!

Drive check.

Damage check.

Cerberus attacks with a boost from Bunny!

Trigger check.

I got draw trigger.

Naturally, I give the power to Javelin.

Midnight Bunny's Counterblast!

If the attack she boosted hits, she trades
places with a unit that's in the Soul.

I call Nightmare Doll Alice!

When Alice appears, I can Soulcharge again.

Go, Alice!

Attack Charon!

I guard with Witch of Nostrum, Arianrhod!

That's the end of my turn.

They're still at the stage where
their Vanguards are grade 2...

Calling grade 3s from the Soul to attack?

This is interesting, isn't it?

There you go! Take out more grade 3s!

Morikawa!

Bidou!

You're such a handsome technician!

Look over here!

Bidou...?

He always waves and answers us...

I stand and draw.

It seems you have a strong dislike for me.

Why is that? I think I have the right to
ask, as I've never done anything to you.

I can't get it out of my head.

Why did Ren give you that deck?

What's so funny?!

Well, of course, the reason
is that I'm strong.

Not in my book!

You are not strong in my book!

Today, right here in front of Ren,
I'm going to teach you that lesson!

I wonder which of us will
really be the teacher...

Where there is light, there is darkness.

Light can only be swallowed up by darkness...

Appear from the everlasting darkness...

Dark Spirit...

Blaster Dark!

Brother...

It doesn't seem like that kid at all!

Boys sure do change, don't they?

Right, Kourin?

Kourin...?

Aichi...

I've got a Blaster Javelin in the Soul,
so +1000 is added to Blaster Dark's power.

I move Charon.

And then I call Skull Witch, Nemain.

Nemain's Counterblast.

I discard one Shadow Paladin

and draw two cards from my deck.

I call Knight of Darkness, Rugos.

Rugos attacks!

I guard with Rainbow Magician!

Go forth, Blaster Dark!

Drive check!

I got a heal trigger.

I add +5000 to the power of Nemain.

And I heal 1 point.

Damage check!

With a boost from Charon, Nemain attacks!

He deals damage to his opponent
while healing himself.

Aichi Sendou has launched a
smooth oh-ffensive, hasn't he?

I stand and draw!

I ride Dusk Illusionist, Robert!

I activate Robert's skill!

Soulcharge!

I look at the top card of my
deck... and leave it there.

Everything is ready for the show!

Alice! Attack Nemain!

Counterblast!

I move Alice to the Soul...

...and call Bunny from the Soul!

Robert attacks!

No guard.

Twin drive, first check.

Draw trigger.

I add +5000 to the power of Cerberus!

Second check!

With a boost from Bunny...

...Cerberus attacks!

No guard.

Bunny's Counterblast.

I move Bunny to the Soul.

And from the Soul...

...I call Alice!

Alice attacks!

No guard.

From Alice to Bunny and Bunny
to Alice! It's just like magic!

It's showtime, indeed!

Uh oh! Aichi Sendou's damage
has increased dramatically!

Go! Go! Bidou!

Come on, Aichi! What's with the "no guard"?!

Quit trying to look cool!

It doesn't look like he's
thinking about the cost...

Fine, whatever. I think he's out of options.

Cat...

Where?

No, when a cat knows a mouse can't get away,
it lets it do what it wants for a while.

Huh?

I stand and draw.

I ride Phantom Blaster Dragon!

When Blaster Dark is in the Soul,

+1000 is added to this unit's power.

I call Dark Mage, Badhabh Caar.

Badhabh Caar's skill...

If the top card of my deck
is a Shadow Paladin...

...I can call that unit.

And with the skill of the Badhabh Carr that
I just called, I call one more unit.

And then...

Phantom Blaster Dragon, Counterblast!

In exchange for three units,

+10000 is added to the power of
Phantom Blaster Dragon for this turn.

Critical +1!

I call Blaster Dark and Arianrhod!

Rugos attacks Cerberus!

I guard with Spiral Master!

With a boost from Arianrhod,

Phantom Blaster Dragon attacks!

That's 28000 power!

Can Bidou defend against it?!

Is that the last trick you know?

I pay the cost to activate
Hades Hypnotist's skill...

Hades Hypnotist! That
attack won't go through!

Bidou is so cool!

Impressive. You know this deck well...

I won't guard against your next
attack... What are you going to do?

Thank you.

With a boost from Charon...

...Blaster Dark attacks!

In the end, you just don't have the
same power with that deck as Ren.

That's called being out of your depth.

Ren is watching me!

I'll end it right here!

Final Turn!

There it is! "Final Turn!"

Dreamy!

Cool!

Please watch my beautiful finale...

And as a curtain call, Ren, please give
me that bouquet of a place with AL4!

I stand and draw!

With Robert's skill, I Soulcharge
the top card of my deck!

I call Bicorn and Bunny!

With a boost from Bicorn, Alice attacks!

I guard with Darkside Trumpeter!

You don't know when to quit!

With a boost from Bunny,

here I come!

I'm going to win this...

Aichi Sendou!

Grim Reaper...

...and Blaster Dark... intercept.

Darn it!

I don't believe it!

Yes!!

His "Final Turn" failed!

Lame!

You're always full of
energy when you criticize!

Well, sure!

I thought that would be a
little more fun than it was...

...but it was just a boring trick.

Why, you...!

Ren is watching this...

R-Ren...

Cerberus, attack Rugos!

It's fine... It'll be fine! If I can
just get through the next turn...

I can't afford to lose in front of Ren!

Th-That's the end of my turn...

Kai... Kai is watching me from
somewhere, too, isn't he?

I'll show you how strong I am!

Final Turn!

Oh, my! Aichi Sendou has
also announced "Final Turn!"

He did!

Idiot! What are you gonna
do if you lose face?!

I stand and draw.

I call Grim Reaper and Abyss Healer.

Counterblast.

Phantom Blaster Dragon!

D-Don't!

I add +10000 to the power
of Phantom Blaster Dragon

and give him the extra critical.

I've become stronger, haven't I?

But I'm still not there, am I?

I have to become even stronger...

...or you won't give me recognition.

Dark Metal Dragon, attack...

...Cerberus!

Don't! Don't do it!

I don't want Ren to see me
humiliated like this! Please!

I have to get stronger.

I have to get stronger...
I have to get stronger...

More... More!

No, don't!!

I'm gonna get stronger!

With a boost from Arian,

Phantom Blaster Dragon attacks!

T-The winner is Aichi Sendou!

Team Q4 is first place
in the elimination round!

That was uncool...

Bidou is a dork.

Aichi is cooler than him. I mean...

Aichi is better, isn't he?!

Women...

Hey, that is Aichi, isn't it?

Welcome, Aichi.

And too bad for you, Kai.

As for his opponent...

Huh? Who was it again?

Well, it doesn't matter.

This kid is amazing! It's like
he's another person entirely!

Kourin?

Somebody, stop him fast.

Stop that kid...

That was a crushing victory, Sendou.

Who's the one that said he was the weakest?

Next time, I'm gonna get his autograph!

Y'know, the guy's never made much
of an impression on me before,

but was Sendou always like that?

Aichi, I swear I'll stop you...

That Kiriya Bidou was a candidate
to be the next member of AL4!

He was a stronger fighter
than Kyou Yahagi, wasn't he?

To be honest, I thought it was gonna be a
hard fight, but it was an overwhelming victory!

Kai, are you watching?

The way I am now, I might be able to
beat Team Caesar... maybe even Ren...

Next time: Kai's Battle.

There's an interval before the finals, huh?

I haven't gotten in nearly enough fighting...

The picture I have of victory feels good...
