I'm so hungry!
You sure are a big eater.
Am I?
And you're playing Shadowverse while you eat?
Yeah. I'm trying to optimize my deck a little more.
Light Tenryu
This card looks good!
Name: Lance Lizard Class: Dragoncraft Unevolved Rush. On-Attack: If you do not have a "Drago Weapon" in play, create 1 "Drago Weapon". If you do have a "Drago Weapon" in play, Lance Lizard gets +0/+2 and does 2 damage to the enemy leader. Evolved Same as unevolved.
Lance Lizard!
Yeah, that would enable more aggressive strategies for your deck.
I see!

We've got trouble!
Listen up, everyone!
Episode 11
I Don't Want Your Understanding...
What's gotten into you, Gentleman?
That's what I want to ask you four!
Why are you just sitting here enjoying your afternoon?
Cleaning the club room is important.
So are warm-ups!
Not doing a proper warm-up can lead to injuries!
And it's important to take care of indoor plants daily!
Plants help you relax and relieve stress, which I think helps with Shadowverse.
What's it to you? It's not like we're just slacking off.
No, you in particular are slacking off!
Man, you're a mean rabbit.
I'll explain, for the benefit of your tiny minds.
You're in danger!
Danger?
Seventh Flame's Miraculous Recovery
Seventh Flame's...
Miraculous...
Recovery?
What?
For Seventh Flame to continue to exist as a club, we need six members.
You began with three!
Which means you needed three more!
You came up with a plan to steal from the other clubs...
We didn't "steal"!
Anybody interested in Shadowverse had already joined one of the other clubs, so...
We decided to recruit from them.
But regardless, you challenged Sixth Magic!
And a lot happened.
You suffered a humiliating defeat!
But you overcame it and met your ultimate rival...
After an intense battle, you found a wonderful new member!
That's right! Me, Gentleman!
After that, you battled Fifth Sword and recruited Ren Kazamatsuri!
And now you needed only one more member!
We're looking good!
Nope!
The only clubs remaining are Third Feather, Second Blood, and First Reaper.
But First Reaper isn't happening, obviously.
And Second Blood is shut down, because its president and members are absent.
You can't recruit from them!
So you've got only one option left: Third Feather!
If you can't recruit from there, Seventh Flame will be shut down!
Sh-Shut down?!
Problem, dora?
I guess if we can't get another member, we'll lose this room.
I don't want that!
Gentleman's right.
We haven't been taking this seriously enough.
It's our last chance, after all.
Yup, that's right!
But look at you!
Get your act together!
Especially you, Light Tenryu.
I'm wondering why you're so relaxed!
I'm not relaxed.
I was getting ready.
And now I'm ready!
Don't worry, Gentleman!
I won't do anything to make you or Ren sad,
now that I've invited you here!
Light!
Wh-Who said I was sad?
Didn't you say you were?
Third Feather is barely active.
Their only decent player is Tsubasa Takanashi, their president.
Then we'll recruit her!
Tsubasa's super pretty!
She's famous.
They say she's got charisma.
My research has revealed that she uses Crystallize Havencraft for her deck.
That means amulet cards, as well as Crystallize effects.
Amulet cards. Crystallize effects.
Okay, understood!
You definitely don't understand.
Excuse us!
You're Seventh Flame, right?
Yes, we are.
I don't know why, but Tsubasa's ready to fight you.
She's waiting at the stadium.
I can't wait!
I'm not telling you what to do,
but where's this coming from, Tsubasa?
Nowhere.
Wow, you're pissed off.
There is no reason.
I'm just a little mad.
I'm nicer than Haruma, anyway.
So you're Tsubasa Takanashi?
Show some respect, second-years.
Scary!
You've heard about us, right?
We're looking for members...
You want to bring back Seventh Flame, right?
Who's your president?
Me.
You're a cruel man.
You're bringing all these people together,
just so you can suffer when Haruma kicks your butt again.
And you call yourself a president?
That's pretty harsh, don't you think?
What do you know about us?
Not a thing.
Nor do I care.
You don't matter at all.
That's not true! I...
I said I don't care.
It makes me mad...
when people get serious for no reason that matters.
Why doesn't it matter?
'Cause you can't beat Haruma.
No, I'll win.
We'll win!
Got any proof of that?
No!
That's why I'll prove it now.
If I beat you in this battle, join Seventh Flame!
And let's challenge Haruma together!
So that's it?
I think I understand.
You're the one behind all this.
I'm Light Tenryu.
Don't care.
I'm a transfer student and a rookie player.
Didn't ask.
I'll teach you that there are some things you can't change, second-year.
You won't know what I can change until you see for yourself, Tsubasa!
I said, "Show some respect."
Battle, Shadowverse!
Light Tenryu and Knuckle Dragon Dragnir
Class: Dragoncraft Birthday: 12/20 Likes: Washing Dishes
Prism Priestess
My turn.
Draw.
Amulet Card: Sacred Plea.
That's an amulet card?
Yeah. But Havencraft's amulet cards are a little special.
They're Countdown amulets.
At the start of my turn, they advance by 1.
And when they reach 0, the Countdown amulet is destroyed.
So it gets destroyed, even after you spend PP to play it?
The Last Words that activate then are what makes them powerful.
I guess you are a rookie, huh?
I end my turn.
That's right.
I never lie!
Draw!
I play Hammer Dragonewt!
Dragoncraft? Perfect for you.
Is it? Thank you!
I end my turn.
That wasn't a compliment.
Draw.
First, at the start of my turn, Sacred Plea's Countdown drops by 1.
I play Luxwing Reno.
I end my turn. Go.
Here I go, then!
My turn! Draw!
I play Mushussu!
And then I use Hammer Dragonewt to attack your leader!
Now I end my turn!
So you at least know how followers' attack and defense work.
Yes.
I've battled twice, and I'm learning fast by watching others play!
I see.
Okay, I understand why you're not scared of anything.
It's because you don't understand anything!
Draw.
Sacred Plea's Countdown advances.
And then I attack Hammer Dragonewt with Reno!
Plus, Reno has an on-combat effect that triggers when she attacks another follower.
Her on-combat effect does 1 damage to you.
Hammer Dragonewt's Last Words activate!
I add the spell card Dragon Smash to my hand!
You think I care?
Struggling won't save you.
A follower with Ward?
Emerald Maiden.
And that's not the only thing that makes her shine.
I end my turn.
Emerald Maiden's effect activates
and gives a randomly chosen follower Ward at the end of my turn.
It's still turn 3, and she has two followers with Ward!
It's a defensive deck, then?
Sounds like Havencraft.
Go ahead, second-year.
Yeah, here I go!
My turn! Draw!
I play the spell card Dragon Smash!
It does 3 damage to an enemy follower!
And then its effect creates a Drago Weapon amulet card.
So you use amulets, too?
My amulet cards are strong.
Lastly, I attack Reno with Mushussu!
Reno's on-combat effect activates and does 1 damage to you.
Are you done?
Then it's my turn.
Draw.
Sacred Plea's Countdown advances to 0.
Sacred Plea is destroyed, and its Last Words activate.
I draw two cards.
I see.
So that's the power of a Countdown amulet.
Then I play Prism Priestess.
Its effect adds a random Countdown amulet from my deck to my hand.
Then I play Pinion Prayer.
Another Countdown amulet?
When it reaches 0, it will create a follower with Storm.
No time to just sit around.
I end my turn.
I don't intend to!
Draw!
I play the Armed Dragon follower, Lance Lizard!
It has Rush?
Yes. But that's not all!
Lance Lizard attacks Prism Priestess!
If I have a Drago Weapon in play,
Lance Lizard's on-attack effect triggers!
Its defense increases by 2.
And it can now do 2 damage to the enemy leader!
Go! Pierce through, Lance Lizard!
I end my turn!
Well, Tsubasa?
This is my Shadowverse!
No one cares.
You sound hurt when you play Shadowverse.
I'm still a rookie.
But there are things I've learned by battling and watching others battle.
Sometimes, Shadowverse can bind your heart.
It can make you suffer because you take it seriously.
But being who you are, being true to how you feel,
is what makes Shadowverse great.
If you're suffering, Tsubasa, I want to know why.
I want to understand you by battling you!
That's what I think.
Understand me?
Hilarious.
What are you talking about?
I don't want your understanding...
Not of Shadowverse!
Or of me!
What is that?
Amulet Card: Jewel Shrine.
It has no Countdown, so it stays on the field till it's destroyed.
When it enters play, I draw a card.
Of course, this isn't its only effect.
But that won't activate yet.
I play Sledgehammer Exorcist!
Evolve!
Its on-evolve effect triggers!
I destroy one enemy follower!
Nice!
I'm not done.
I play Ruby Falcon Crystallized.
"Crystallized"?
Followers with Crystallize can be played as amulet cards if you pay their Crystallize cost.
Ruby Falcon is a Countdown amulet.
It doesn't have Last Words, but it has a powerful effect.
I see. So this is...
Your Shadowverse is very pretty.
Listen. Stop it with this "my Shadowverse" and "your Shadowverse" crap.
There's no "my" or "your" in Shadowverse.
It's all about whether you're strong or not.
And if you're weak, you just get crushed.
That's what happened to Seventh Flame, right?
You don't know anything about us!
I do.
I know all about you.
Because...
Because my club, Third Feather,
was crushed by Haruma Hazeura, too.
But Third Feather is...
We still exist, but that's all.
We don't function as a club.
I don't know why Haruma gets pissed off,
but I know who pisses him off.
People who try hard, even though they're weak.
People who don't give up, even though they have no skills.
People like you!
I'm different.
I don't try hard anymore.
I've given up.
So he let Third Feather survive.
And you're okay with that?
Shut up!
Your turn. Draw your card, second-year.
Those eyes of yours make me so mad.
I'll blind them with my light!
When I look at you, I see you shining brightly!
But you look... You look like you're in so much pain.
I don't think it's okay to leave you like this!
Draw!
Spell Card: Draconic Fervor!
It increases my max play points by 1!
And restores my leader's defense by 3...
And allows me to draw two cards!
I end my turn!
Come, Tsubasa!
You don't need to tell me. Here I come.
Draw!
My Countdown advances.
Pinion Prayer's Countdown reaches 0 and creates a Holy Falcon.
I play Sapphire Priestess!
And I evolve Holy Falcon, which has Storm!
It and Sledgehammer Exorcist attack your leader!
I'm not done yet!
Crystallized Ruby Falcon's effect activates!
Each time one of my followers attacks your leader,
it gives a randomly chosen follower of mine Storm!
And what it chose was...
The one you just played...!
Heaven's on my side, then.
Sapphire Priestess now has Storm!
It attacks your leader!
I end my turn.
And Sapphire Priestess's effect activates.
If my followers have attacked three times, I draw three cards!
Wow!
All the club presidents were strong.
But she's on a whole other level.
Tsubasa Takanashi is— just in terms of skill—pro level.
She is strong, yeah.
But... But Light can...
The burdens we carry are different.
They're on a whole different level.
And that's why I made my choice.
No matter what anybody says...
Giving up was the right choice!
Did you try?
Try to keep trying?
Try not to give up?
Did you try?
Don't talk to me like that!
