Synopsis: While discussing Daryl's case, Hou & Masato encounter the villainous duo, Da Dan & Jasraj. What could they possibly want from them?
As the previous story unfolds, Hou & Tasuku have a match, and this is how the match goes.
Hou: I won't lose this match. I will defeat you. And I will defeat Ranma as well. Garga. Destroy Jack.
Garga: As you wish. (Attacks)
Garga Defeats Jack. Garcat does the same. And Hou hits Tasuku with Gar Buster.
Hou: Final Phase.
Impact Sequence.
Hou: Impact. Deity Gargantua Punisher!!!!!
Tasuku officially hits 0 life.
Hou accepts the briefcase, and when he opens it, he notices a bunch of new cards inside. Hou & Garga are star struck, much to his Mother's dismay.
Tasuku: They're from the latest expansion set. Use it wisely.
OP: 最高（さあ行こう
While staying at a cafe, Masato & Hou talk about what's in Daryl's case. They are feeling concerned as they cross their arms while sitting with their buddies.
Masato: You still couldn't talk to him?
Hou: No.
Flashback...
Hou: Garga & I went to visit him, but Cross told us to leave because he said Daryl doesn't wish to talk to anyone right now.
Flashback end.
Hou: The fact that he's been skipping class for a few days, too. Now I'm worried.
Masato: I can't blame you. Losing his friend & siding with Ranma. Man, you both really have friends who sorta become jealous, then turn evil.
Hou: Like you're any better.
Masato: Just saying.
Garga: It's a good thing his injuries have recovered, but refusing to talk to anyone and even skipping class? It's ridiculous.
Agito: There's gotta be something we can do to cheer him up.
They all think hard as they struggle...Suddenly, the Gar Trio comes out of their cards. They all feel very sad and guilty.
Gardog: There's something you should know, Hou. We've been hiding this for a while now.
Hou: What's wrong, Gardog?
Scene transition...
Hou: What? Whaddup Pals is losing subscribers?
Garcat: It happened bit by bit. Ever since Ranma disappeared, we have taken over the channel. But no matter what kind of videos we upload, they're of no use, and the view and like count drops bit by bit.
Garbird: This is really disturbing, and I can't even sleep at all.
Masato: Kay, but what does this have to do with what we're talking about?
Garcat: We thought maybe we can make a video to like cheer him up. You didn't know this, but secretly, Daryl is a fan of the channel.
Gardog: We kinda overheard him one time. We're really sorry Hou.
Hou: It's okay. (sigh) Ranma is a major asset to the channel. While I'm the one in charge of stunts and ideas, he's the one in charge of editing. Literally, he can make any lame content into enjoyable and hilarious ones.
Garga: So unless Whaddup Pals has Ranma and you, it won't progress at all. No offense, little ones.
Garcat: None taken, Master Garga.
Hou: Still, we can't lose focus here. I mean we have the tournament to focus on. Daryl needs cheering up, and {Annoyed} (Notices something). Oh, great, what are they doing here?
Masato: Huh?
Hou points to a direction in front of them, and it appears Da Dan & Jasraj are walking in front with merciless smiles on their faces. This made the gang shriek in disgust.
Jasraj: What a small world, huh?
Da Dan: Yeah. The Ace of Sports and the Ace of Games together. What a bunch of losers.
Hou: What do you want, Jasraj?
Masato: Plotting another evil scheme?
Da Dan: Oh please. At least we're more hardworking than you sitting around.
Jasraj: Yeah. I bet you guys are so down ever since your channel went down.
But to their dismay, Hou & the gang ignored them as they did their own stuff.
Da Dan & Jasraj: HEY WE'RE TALKING HERE.
Da Dan: Oh you asked for it. We want to fight you both in a tag fight.
Hou: A tag what now?
Garga: A tag fight. It means two on two buddyfight.
Hou: Oh. (ponders) Hmm...(snaps fingers) Guys, I have an idea.
Everyone looks confused. Suddenly, it shifts to a buddyfight stage. But the stage looks different. It has become a tag fight stage. Two sides facing each other in a circle shaped stage.
Ion: The playoffs are still underway, and today's match is really something I did not expect. But as much as I want to play against it, the rules did not forbid so.
Tako: Today we have the Ace of Games & Sports, Hou Ren & Masato versus some unbelievably weird duo, Jasraj and Dan Yamada.
Da Dan suddenly went surprised and angry.
Da Dan: HEY. DON'T CALL ME BY MY BIRTH NAME.
Ion: Huh? Why not.
Da Dan: I HATE MY BIRTH NAME. DON'T YOU DARE EVER USE IT IN FRONT OF ME GOT IT???
Hearing this, Ion feels annoyed while letting out a sigh.
Ion: Alright. Alright. I hear you, bub.
Tako: What a jerk, chu.
Hou: {confident} Masato. Knowing Jasraj, we can win against him. But Da Dan however. I don't think we ever saw him buddyfight, did we?
Masato: Now that you mention it, yes. I'm not sure what kind of fighting style he has.
Garga: Still, we have to work together if we're gonna win this.
Agito: Garga's right. Let's win this game lickety split.
Both Aces: Right.
Da Dan: I can't deny those two are strong. Especially Hou, since he is the Helping Hands Champion. But...that's why I developed this deck to crush him.
Jasraj: Hold your horses. I'm here too. (Luminizes) Crush all who stood in my way. For they shall kneel before absolute fists. Luminize. Brawlers Millenia.
Da Dan: Dragonblood Sect. Gather before the Almighty Da Dan. Luminize....Bloody Nightmare.
Masato: The linked spiral is our chain of bonds. Luminize. Spiral Linkdragon Order.
Hou: A deity dragon's brigade descends. Come On. Luminize. Dradeity.
Ion & Tako: Buddy...fight.
All: Raise the Flag. (Does so)
Hou: Dragon World.
Masato: Ancient World.
Da Dan: Dragon World.
Jasraj: Danger World.
Ion: First Move goes to Masato.
Masato: Draw. Charge & Draw. Cast. Linkdragon Order Links. (Increase Resources) To the center, Harahara.
Harahara: I'm ready for a full calorie assault.
Masato: Equip. Order's Axe, Wildaxe. (Does So) Harahara, Attack Jasraj.
Jasraj receives one damage, 9 life left. Meanwhile, Masato gains 2 life thanks to Harahara's Dragon Share.
Masato: My turn is over.
Ion: The next move goes to Da Dan.
Da Dan: Draw. Charge & Draw. Allow me to show you both, my strongest buddy. I pay 2 gauge and buddycall to the right.
Suddenly, a bright red tornado appears on Da Dan's right. And suddenly, the tornado disappears, and he arises.
He is a tall, white dragon with golden eyes, fangs and claws, red and gold horns, and large red and purple wings. He has long black and red hair, with bangs covering one of his eyes. He also has blood red brows and a jaw of the same color. He wears a long, sharp, black overcoat with gold trims, a purple inner lining, purple cuffs tipped with fur, and a dark red square-buckle harness over it. He also wears black pants wrapped with a purple and red cloth, a red belt with a cross in the center, and chain accessories. He has a light gray abdomen plate with a red spiraling dragon mark inscribed on it. He is seen wielding a red and black gun-blade during battle.
Da Dan: Hey there...Dragon...
Suddenly, Da Dan covers his mouth.
???: I told you not to speak that name aloud. That part is my soul name, and it should be kept hidden.
Hou: So that's Da Dan's buddy. Wait...who are you again?
???: Where are my manners? My name is Bloody Eyes. I am from the Dragonblood Sect. A secret organization that's working to take down another criminal organization.
Hou & Masato let out a small huh.
Da Dan: Ignore him. He's just being dramatic. That "organization" he talks about? They're just a ruse.
Bloody Eyes: Ah. What a wonderful day to be alive. To be or not to be. I shall lead this world into an eternal night.
Da Dan: Hey. We have a fight to focus on. Equip. Pleading Gloves. (Does so, and suddenly he shrieks in pain)
Bloody Eyes: Forgive me, my friend. But you must sacrifice yourself due to the laws of darkness.
Da Dan: Yeah Yeah. Bloody Eyes. Attack Hou.
Hou receives 2 damage, 8 life left.
Da Dan: My turn is over.
Hou: That's it?
Garga: In a tag match, the first three players can only attack once.
Hou: Oh.
Ion: I don't know about all this eccentric stuff, but either way, Hou just received 2 damage. Now it's his turn to respond.
Hou: (To Garga) Tell me something I don't know about him.
Garga: Like Destroyer, he feeds off the blood of many dragons. While they have to pay a price, they are not to be underestimated.
Agito: What do you mean by "price"?
Garga: Just wait and see.
Hou: Uh huh? I buddycall Gargantua Dragon to the right.
Garga: (Appears) All are powerless before my blade.
Hou: I equip Garsaber (Does So) and I call Garcat to the right.
Ion: Due to the effect, he gains one gauge and draws one card.
Da Dan: Hehehe. You fell for it. Bloody Eyes's ability activates.
Bloody Eyes: Now. Fall into slumber.
Suddenly, Garga is controlled as his eyes went blank, and he is forced to move, much to his struggle. The two aces are surprised.
Hou: What's wrong, Garga?
Ion: Oh my. Garga is acting very strangely. Hou didn't even call out an attack yet, Garga just suddenly moved.
Now Garga attacks???
Bloody Eyes: I will predict the future. Garga. You will attack me with a right hook.
Suddenly, Garga strikes him with a sword attack???
Ion: It's no punch, but Bloody Eyes just lost a soul card.
Bloody Eyes: Ergh. I gladly sacrifice a fragment of my soul. Heh. Not a bad punch.
Tako: Like We Said, it's not a punch.
Bloody Eyes: Now I will go on the offense.
Bloody Eyes counterattacks Garga and destroys him.
Hou: Garga !!!
Da Dan: And that takes care of that. Furthermore...
Bloody Eyes also deals damage to Hou with a red lightning shot from his palm. 8 life left.
Da Dan: When Bloody Eyes destroys an enemy monster, the opponent receives one damage.
Masato: Wait a sec? Garga has soulguard. So how did he get obliterated instantly?
Da Dan: Bloody Eyes can nullify an opponent's monster's abilities and force it to attack him.
Hou: So that's what Garga meant by "pay the price". (sigh) My turn is over.
Da Dan: Hehe. You can't do anything now. With Garga out of the field, my victory is guaranteed.
Jasraj: Dude. I kept telling you I'm right here. Anyways. Masato, this is payback for the Tournament. Draw. Charge & Draw. I'm going to pay one of Masato's gauge and call Crazed Girl Deity, Gothiris, to the left.
Gothiris enters play, and Masato loses one gauge.
Masato: Same old. Same old.
Jasraj: Cast. Immortal Speech! (Pays 2 gauge) Discard a card from your hand, and I draw two cards.
Masato is forced to discard a hand card.
Jasraj: And now I'm going to pay one of Masato's gauge, his life, and his monster and buddycall Topfist Vanglory, Brawlzeus to the right.
Brawlzeus: (Appears) OH YEAH. I'll show you what a real brawl looks like.
Jasraj: And now I'm going to pay one more of your gauge to equip, Skygod Hockey. (Does So)
Hou: New items and new monsters, huh?
Masato: This will be quite a challenge.
Jasraj: Now that I'm going forth, I get to commence my real turn. Brawlzeus, Attack Masato.
Masato receives 2 damage, and thanks to plunder, another 2 damage, and Jasraj gains 2 life.
Masato: Oh, great. 9 life left.
Jasraj: Now there's me. (Attacks) When I attack with my hockey, I get to steal two of the opponent's gauge.
Ion: That means Masato now has one gauge. And now Masato received another 2 damage.
Jasraj: Gothiris.
Gothiris attacks.
Jasraj: Since you have one or fewer gauge, you must discard a hand card bozo.
Masato discards another hand card and receives another two damage. 5 life left.
Jasraj: Hehehe. My turn is over.
Agito: We're on the edge. You only have like 3 hand cards remaining.
Masato: Don't worry. I got this. Draw. Charge & Draw. I cast. Dragon Emperor Legend. (Increase resources) And now I cast, Divine Dragon Creation.
Ion: Masato just fired off two spells and increased his resources.
Masato: Once Again, I cast Linkdragon Order's Links & I buddycall Agito to the center.
Agito: (Appears) For Share.
Masato: Cast. Spiral Thunderaxe, King Agito to the center.
King Agito: (Appears and roars) Incredible power flows within me.
Masato: King Agito now has Jisen, Agito, Kaina, Harahara, and Two Tategamis in the soul.
Jasraj: Heh. Predictable.
Masato: Tategami's Dragon Share. Bloody Eyes lose two soul cards. King Agito, Attack Jasraj.
King Agito deals 3 damage & Masato gains two life.
King Agito: Double attack.
Another three damage and another 2 life gain.
Masato: (Attacks) Wild Axe.
Da Dan: Cast. Blue Dragon Shield. (Blocks the attack)
Hou: Wait what? Why is Da Dan defending?
Da Dan: Man, you're stupid. It's a tag fight. I can block an opponent's attack that's directing to my teammate. Heh. You like them apples?
Hou: Grr...
Jasraj: Hey. Stay out of it. I have like 6 hand cards, ya know.
Da Dan: (Angry) I just saved your life. You ungrateful idiot.
Jasraj: (Angry) Who are you calling an idiot? Anyway, Masato, you only have one hand card left. And I'm willing to bet it's your impact card. Too bad for you, I'm not the same as last time. So hats off to you for being a failure.
Masato: Grr....[He's right...](sigh) My turn is over.
Da Dan: Now that it's my turn. I call Shadow Serve to the left. (Calls him) Bloody Eyes. Attack Hou.
Bloody Eyes: Slake this pain. (Attacks)
6 life left.
Bloody Eyes: Double attack.
4 life left.
Da Dan: Shadow Serve, follow him.
3 life left. And now Da Dan attacks with his glove. 1 life left.
Ion: Wait, what? Hou didn't defend at all. What is going on? Is he okay?
Da Dan: Hehehe. He must be very afraid. I don't even know why he's called the Ace of Games. He should be the Ace of Cowardliness. Hehehe.
But Hou somehow remains calm and suddenly interrupts.
Hou: Draw. Charge & Draw.
Da Dan: Huh? Way to steal my thunder.
Hou: Garga to the right.
Garga: (Appears) I rise up once more. But wait, Hou, Da Dan has Bloody Eyes on the field, what are you doing?
Da Dan: He's right. Bloody Eyes can force Garga to attack him. And he'll be gone again, poof.
Hou: (Holds out two cards) You should be happy. I'll test out Garga's new power on you.
Masato: Huh?
Hou: I dare you to control him. Again.
Masato: What? Are you crazy?
Garga: My buddy...
Da Dan: Huh. He wants Garga dead so badly. Okay. Bloody Eyes's ability once again.
Bloody eyes once again control Garga. But suddenly, Hou lets out a smirk.
Hou: (reveals first card) Cast. Gargantua Switch Mode. G-EVO activate. Change. (reveals second card) Gargantua Dragon, Cyclone Mode. GO.
While Garga is struggling to break free, he eventually succeeds and suddenly changes into a new form. His swords suddenly attach to his back and his chest crystal is blocked by small versions of his swords. He suddenly turns white and wields a spear.
Garga: Cyclone Mode !!!
Everyone's shocked.
Ion: Wait, wait, what? I thought Garga was under control. And now he's here in a new form. What is going on?
Hou: It's simple. Bloody Eyes targets one monster. So if I switch targets then...
Garga: I can avoid getting brainwashed.
Da Dan: Dahhhh. You tricked me.
Hou: With Cyclone Mode's effect, I destroy two of the opponent's monsters on the field. I choose Bloody Eyes and Brawlzeus.
Garga swings his spear and instantly destroys the two monsters.
Both opponents: WHAT?
Da Dan: Wait a sec, I thought...(suddenly realizes in shock)
In a flashback, Bloody Eyes loses his last two soul cards during the previous turn.
Da Dan: OH NO!!!!
Masato: I used Tategami's Dragon Share after all. And I knew Hou would destroy him, even though I don't know how he's going to do it.
Da Dan: Erghhh....
Hou: Now I can fight without any problems. Garga Attack Da Dan.
Garga: As you wish. (Attacks) I have triple attack.
Da Dan, Ion & Jasraj: TRIPLE ATTACK?
Garga moves at very high speed and flies around the stage intensively...
Garga: ONE. (Deals Damage) TWO. (Deals Damage) THREE. (Deals Damage)
Da Dan now has 4 life left.
Ion: UNBELIEVABLE. DA DAN NOW HAS 4 LIFE LEFT.
Agito: What incredible speed...
Masato: Yeah. Not even I can keep up with him...
Hou: Garcat. Strike Forth.
Garcat attacks. 3 life left. Now Hou attacks.
Da Dan: Cast. Green Dragon Shield.
Hou: Cast. Gargantua Tactic, Triple-Timer. Garga Stands and two damage to Da Dan.
Garga: One more time. (Attacks)
Da Dan watches it in fear as Garga flies in for one last time and finishes Da Dan off.
Da Dan: AHHHHH!!!!
Ion: And Down Goes the PalTuber !!!
Jasraj: You Idiot. This is why you shouldn't have blocked earlier.
Da Dan: Rargh....
Jasraj: You may have beaten Da Dan, but I won't lose. Draw. Charge & Draw. I call Brawlzeus to the left again. And I'm going to steal Hou's Last life.
Hou: I cast Dragonic Heal Plus. I gain 5 life.
Ion & Jasraj: What?
Ion: That means Hou has 5 life left.
Jasraj: Tch. I might as well attack Masato instead.
Hou: No Chance, I cast Gargantua Blocker. (Pays 1 life & 1 gauge) All of your cards' power & defense are reduced by 5000. And Garga's on the field, so sayonara one critical.
Masato: Whoa. When did Hou become this good?
Garga remembers fondly when he & Hou received new cards from Tasuku.
Garga: [In no time, my buddy made changes to his deck immediately. And even though it's his first time using those cards, I'm surprised he mastered them instantly.]
Jasraj: Why you...
Hou: You said it yourself. It's a tag fight. I was waiting for the right time to defend. It's like the concept of neutral Jing, you know what I mean?
Masato: {impressed} Gotta Say, Not bad, Hou.
Agito: What he said.
Jasraj: [Drats...even if I attack Hou, it still won't finish him off...] My turn is over.
Hou: Okay, Masato. He's all yours.
Masato: For Share. Draw. Charge & Draw. King Agito. Once More.
King Agito: Leave it to me. (Attacks)
Jasraj: Cast. Invincible Knuckle. (Blocks)
King Agito: Double attack.
Jasraj: Once Again Cast. Invincible Knuckle. (Blocks)
Masato: (Smirks) Philosophia's ability activates. King Agito Stand.
Jasraj: NANI???
Masato: GO!!!
King Agito: (Attacks) FOR SHARE!!!
Jasraj now has 5 life left.
Masato: Wild Axe!!! (Attacks)
4 life left.
Masato: Final Phase.
Impact Sequence.
Masato: Cast. Thunder Dragon Tornado.
(You get this idea, I'm srsly lazy describing this)
Masato: Impact. Thunder Dragon Tornado.
Jasraj finally hits 0 life.
Ion: Game End. Winner. Masato Rikuo & Teng Hou Ren.
Hou & Masato: Winner. US.
Tako: The Ace of Games & Sports are victorious, chu.
Jasraj: How...How did I lose again?
Da Dan: LIKE YOU'RE ANY BETTER. I LOST TOO, BOZO.
Jasraj: It's all your fault for this.
Da Dan: HOW DARE YOU.
Both Da Dan & Jasraj suddenly have a catfight, and this makes everyone on Hou's side awkward....A few minutes later, sunset arrives, and they all hang out at Gwen's Cafe. At the table, everyone witnesses the promising results on his tablet with joy.
Hou: It worked.
Masato: Nice One.
Amaterasu: What's going on?
Gwen: Hou uploaded the tag match of them into their channel. And thus gained a bunch of likes and new subscribers.
Hou: This way, we can focus on the tournament and improve the channel sub count. Totally a win-win.
Masato: And Bonus, the Gar Trio did most of the work editing.
Garcat: Yeah. When it comes to gadgets, you can leave it to us.
Hou: Well, in a way, because it was a tournament battle, Da Dan & Jasraj are gonna have a pretty hard time catching up. {Worried} [At the same time, I wonder if my other plan worked too.]
Elsewhere at his house, Daryl & Cross watch the tag fight. They smile softly as they watch the battle.
Daryl: He really is an odd one.
Cross: I'm surprised he knows that you're a fan of the channel.
Daryl: Yeah...[Hou, thanks a lot]
Intro Segment Plays.
Both: Whaddup Pals.
Garga: Hey guys, it's us again, and we're going to introduce a special card.
Hou: This is today's card. Check it out. Gargantua Dragon, Cyclone Mode. This Garga allows you to triple attack. And as a bonus, it can also move and soulguard.
Garga: In addition, when placed, I can destroy an enemy monster. If entered by G-EVO, I can destroy one more. With this, I can move in very high speeds that no naked eye can detect any of my movements.
Hou: When you think about it, Garga's high-speed movements really move like the wind. Truly a worthy name for Cyclone.
Garga: What do you think of today's card? We hope you can use it well in your next match.
Hou: Till next time.
Both: CHECK US OUT.
Anime Ending: Buddy Funny Days
Hou: Vile Ranma & Seiji have a new channel??? And Daryl suddenly fights him? Next time, "Astrological tears". Join us for a buddyfight.
Story End.
