[♪ epic instrumental music]
Remy, I came as soon as you called.
[Remy grunting]
Oh, Cricket. Vasquez was cleaning
and put my binder way up on the top shelf.
I'd asked him to come and get it, but he's on a five-minute break.
Oh, break time's almost over. Oh, boy!
No worries, bestie. I got this.
Here it is. One binder coming up.
Aw, our first fishing trip together.
I got the same picture at home.
I mean, I put mine in a macaroni frame,
but not everyone's as classy as me.
[screams]
Huh? What's a Galaxu?
Not Gal-axu, Cricket. Ga-laxu!
A Japanese trading card game,
where you use interstellar gladiator-monsters to battle in epic combat.
[Cricket] Wow.
Yeah. Anyway, you probably don't wanna hear about this stuff.
What? Fighting space monsters?
That was made for me.
Can I see more?
[chuckles] I thought you'd never ask.
A secret room hidden under your bed?
- You are so rich, Remy. - Thank you.
[screams and grunts]
- Whee! - Okay.
Behold, my secret Galaxu chamber!
Wow!
I'm a Galaxu fanatic!
I love the games. I love the anime.
But most importantly, I love the cards.
[Cricket] There's too many to count.
Dang, you've even got an invisible one.
[sighs] No. That spot's reserved for the rarest Galaxu of them all,
Starmadillo.
It's the one card I want more than anything in the world.
Hey, Vasquez and I are going to go look for it today.
You should come with. We can start your own collection.
I was hoping you'd Gal-ask-u me that.
[chuckles] It's Galaxu.
Cricket, my friend,
welcome to the Galaxu collectors' paradise!
Right, so I'll give you a Nebulam and a Star-hog for a Twi-night!
Sean, please. I'm not an idiot.
Hey, Claire. My friend, Cricket,
would like to buy his first Galaxu starter pack.
All right. Here you go, kid.
Thank you, ma'am. I'm sure this'll cover it.
Are those corn kernels?
They sure are.
Get yourself something nice.
And I'll just have my usual, please.
You got it, Remy.
[grunts] That'll be every Galaxu booster pack we have left in stock.
Thanks! Vasquez, if you would.
Okay. Star-hog. Moonatic.
No Starmadillo.
I guess my eyes will never behold the majesty of that card shining...
[gasps]
Cool! Hey, Remy, I got one that's all shiny.
Cricket! That's...
[all gasping]
Huh, what?
[overlapping chatter]
Let me see!
500 HP! Artwork by legendary artist Richard Satoshi!
Reverse refractor hydrofoil!
[all] A real Starmadillo!
I can't believe I finally found...
I... I mean, you found one, Cricket.
Yeah, this card is pretty spiffy.
I've never seen a Starmadillo card in action!
- Come on, let's play! - Whoa!
I challenge you to a Galaxu duel.
This is a complex game of strategy.
- The rules are very nuanced, so listen carefully. - Hmm.
I'll go first. Orbi-turtle! I select you!
Okay, Cricket. Now, you...
Yoink! [mimics fighting]
Yoink! Orbi-tortoise, meet your maker!
- [mimics fighting] - Oh, no! Please!
Oh, make it stop!
Oh, you're right, Remy! Galaxu is fun!
[mimics fighting]
[groans]
Cricket, wait!
You might wanna be more careful with that.
It's a really valuable card.
But here, you can put it in this protective case.
Mmm, no, thanks.
I don't wanna lock li'l Starbo up.
I'm having fun playing with him.
Oop! Nature's calling.
Come on, Starman-Dillon!
Let's show you what a public restroom looks like.
No! I mean...
I can hold him till you get back.
Good looking out, buddy.
Now, make way, or this will become an emergency!
[exhales sharply] Crisis averted.
[Starmadillo] Good thinking, Remy.
Huh? Who... who said that?
[Starmadillo] Down here!
Starmadillo?
That's right.
Cricket may be my owner, but I wish it was someone who really appreciated me.
Someone like you.
I mean, I would have bought the pack you were in
if I hadn't brought Cricket along.
I was literally about to say the same thing,
which means we've got a real Galaxu connection.
You're my true owner.
Thanks for looking after little Starbo for me.
You're a good friend, Remy.
Now, let's head back to my house
so we can watch some of that Galagazu anime you were tellin' me about!
Remy, save me!
Yes! I'll save you, Starmadillo! I promise.

This is what cartoons are now?
Why ain't nobody getting hit in the head with an anvil?
Gramma, we're trying to watch!
Whatever.
[protagonist on TV] My mission is gonna be a lot easier
now that I have you by my side, Starmadillo.
[Starmadillo on TV] Starmadillo!
I sure do love my Galaxu cards.
I love them because they're mine.
[card thief] Hand over your cards!
Oh, no! A card thief who threatens to steal my beloved Galaxu cards!
That's right! I make bad choices!
[laughs maniacally]
Now, give me your Starmadillo, or prepare to fight!
Is she serious?
Stealing Starmadillo from his scrappy and lovable owner?
That's unforgivable!
[Remy] What do I do?
I can't just steal the card from Cricket.
He wouldn't understand.
But I can't leave it in his hands either.
I'm in a real pickle.
Try and steal my Starmadillo after I use duplication mirror!
It... it's an exact copy!
I can't tell them apart!
An exact copy!
[snoring]
- Gloria! I need you to paint something for me! - [screams]
Why does nobody knock in this...
Uh, wait. Paint something for you?
I need you to make this worthless Galaxu card
look exactly like this.
Oh, my gosh! My first commission.
My time has come.
[presenter on TV] Guess that Galaxu!
Who? Who? Starmadillo!
[presenter] It's Orbi-turtle!
Eh, whatever.
This looks so real.
This might actually work!
Whoa!
That was a close one, Starmadillo!
With our bond of friendship and your mega-black-hole-death-cannon,
there's nothing we can't do.
Wow!
What do you think of that, Starma...
- What the heck is this? - Hmm?
This ain't my Starmadillo.
What? No! Of course that's your Starmadillo!
Nah! See? Gloria painted this.
I can tell by her distinctive brush strokes and confident lines.
Oh, my gosh, Cricket! You recognize my art style?
[chuckles] What a day for my ego.
But if this one's fake, then where's the real Starmadillo?
[chuckles nervously] Yeah! Where is he?
- Uh, Remy? - [gulps]
[Cricket] What's that in your pocket?
This is my Starmadillo in your plastic case.
Wait, I can explain!
But Remy best friend.
Remy steal from Cricket?
If you really care about it, you'll let an experienced collector like me have it.
Hmm.
I think you should go now, Remy.
It's okay, buddy.
I won't ever let you go.
Remy! I belong with you!
[straining]
You've left me no choice.
Cricket Green, I challenge you to a real life Galaxu duel!
Hand over Starmadillo,
or Vasquez takes it by force!
Vasquez!
I got muscle too, you know.
[strains]
Gramma, someone's stealing my stuff!
[grunting] Who's trying to die today?
[grunting]
- Vasquez, fight! - Gramma, fight!
[both grunting]
Vasquez, use low blow on Mrs. Green's wooden leg!
[both grunting]
Gramma, use real hard punch!
Hush, boy! I know how to fight. [yells]
[grunting]
- [Gramma screaming] - [crashing]
Mrs. Green's power is wearing out.
You can't win, Cricket. Give up now!
Never!
[grunts] Milk. Purple stuff.
Ooh! Bingo bango!
I use Megapotion on Gramma.
[grunts]
[gulping]
[grunts]
[screams]
[grunts angrily]
I can't believe you tried to steal my card!
I love Starmadillo.
I may not have a fancy case,
but don't you trust that I'll take care of it?
But it's not about that!
Then why? Why steal my card?
Because... because it isn't fair!
I've been looking for that card for years, Cricket!
And you just started!
I deserved it more than you!
- [Gramma grunts] - [Vasquez groans]
[both grunting]
Well, we'll see who deserves the card
when Gramma kills Vasquez's butt!
- Cricket, get back here! - [glass breaking]
Our fishing trip.
[voice trembling] I've never been fishing before.
Ah, don't worry. You're doing great.
[straining]
Wow!
That's bigger than any fish I've ever caught.
And I've been doing this my whole life.
That's awesome!
Happy for you, bud.
[Cricket and Remy laughing]
[sighs] What have I done?
- [Gramma and Vasquez fighting] - Huh?
Gramma, get up! You gotta get up!
[groans and coughs]
[laughs] Vasquez,
I'll see you in Slumberland.
I'm tired, boy. [snoring]
[♪ ominous instrumental music]
[whimpering]
Hand over the card, Master Cricket.
[groans] Starmadillo, I love you.
- [Remy] Stand down, Vasquez! - [both] Huh?
Cricket, I thought it was unfair that you found the card in your first pack.
The only thing that was unfair was how I acted.
[inhales and exhales] I'm so sorry, Cricket.
I should've just been happy for you.
Like you're always happy for me.
Starmadillo is yours.
Thanks, buddy.
And, hey, until you find your own ultra rare card,
you can always come and look at...
Maybe a card case ain't a bad idea.
Hey, everyone, hold still.
I'm on a roll today.
Say Galaxu!
[all] Galaxu!
