00:00Have the Knights of Hanoi find us!
00:10He's gonna wipe us out!
00:12We gotta do something!
00:14Do what?
00:15He's got us trapped!
00:19But not me!
00:20Because no one can catch this fella!
00:22And I mean no one!
00:24And since you're all tied up at the moment...
00:26I mean, really, all of you...
00:28Embarrassing.
00:30Anyway, I guess it's up to me to save the day.
00:33Cracking Dragon, don't let that stray escape!
00:40Watch out!
00:54Well, Cyverse, it was good seeing ya.
01:00No! That Ignis is cutting off the Cyverse from the rest of the network!
01:05He's hiding our world to protect us!
01:07But won't that mean he can never come home again?
01:21Uh-oh!
01:27Find every fragment of that Ignis.
01:30It's the only one who knows the precise location of the Cyverse.
02:00Link Slayer, attack!
02:18Giga Claw!
02:25You dare to attack the Knights of Hanoi?
02:27You've made a fatal mistake.
02:29Once you cross us, you're marked for life!
02:32Good. Then you'll be seeing a lot more of me.
02:34So you ought to remember this face.
02:36Or better yet...
02:38My name is Playmaker.
03:08I'm not afraid of you.
03:11I'm not afraid of you.
03:13I'm not afraid of you.
03:15I'm not afraid of you.
03:17I'm not afraid of you.
03:19I'm not afraid of you.
03:21I'm not afraid of you.
03:23I'm not afraid of you.
03:25I'm not afraid of you.
03:27I'm not afraid of you.
03:29I'm not afraid of you.
03:31I'm not afraid of you.
03:34I'm not afraid of you.
03:44Hey.
03:45Hey.
03:46Wake up.
03:51Whoa! So it's finally awake.
03:53I thought you were gonna doze through the whole semester.
03:56Yeah. Had a long night, Shima.
03:58Well, Yusaku, you're gonna have a long stint in detention
04:01if they catch you snoozing through this super boring class.
04:03Instead of books, you should have brought a pillow.
04:06Hey, not a bad idea.
04:08Yeah, I'm full of them.
04:10Like my idea to snag this.
04:13That's a nice watch.
04:15It's a dual disk, see?
04:17Oh, yeah. It's Soul Technology's newest model.
04:20So did you have to line up for it?
04:22Yeah, but only ten hours.
04:25Is that your dual disk?
04:27Dude, it's time for a trade-in.
04:29That thing's older than a dinosaur.
04:31My Butte's loaded with an AI that provides dueling and emotional support.
04:35You are dual-tacular, Shima.
04:37Ten hours? Well spent.
04:39And while you still have to load your deck manually,
04:41mine downloads cards straight from the Soul Tech Cloud network.
04:44And not only that, I get VIP priority access
04:46to Link Brain's virtual reality dueling realm.
04:49Here's a live look.
04:54So Link Brain's is where you go to duel, Shima?
04:57You nuts?
04:58Nuts are crucial to a healthy diet.
05:00Link Brain's is where all the top duelists in the world go to compete.
05:03You don't just show up there and duel.
05:05You gotta be the best of the best of the best of the best.
05:08I see.
05:09And there's one duelist who's ruling the roost these days.
05:12The one and only Playmaker.
05:14Playmaker?
05:15Oh, yeah. He's seriously my hero.
05:17He's fighting against the Knights of Hanoi.
05:19This no-good group of hackers who are trying to destroy Link Brain's.
05:22Really?
05:23That sounds like quite the job for only one man.
05:26Yeah, you're telling me.
05:27And like a true hero, he keeps his identity secret.
05:29Oh, man, I wish I was his sidekick.
05:31We could sidekick Hanoi's derrieres.
05:33Have fun.
05:35Hey, hold up.
05:36Do you want me to teach you how to duel?
05:38Unfortunately, I doubt you have the ability to teach me how to duel.
05:41For three reasons.
05:43For one, you require the support of an AI program to help you duel.
05:47And two, you've prejudged me by the age of my duel disc,
05:50not by my skill or my cards.
05:52And three, you told me you're not ready to compete in Link Brains.
05:56So how can you teach me?
05:59But I do believe you're on your way to becoming a good duelist.
06:02For one, you love talking about dueling,
06:04and that passion can't be taught in a classroom.
06:06And two, acquiring that new duel disc
06:08shows you're on the cutting edge of the latest dueling trends.
06:11And three, since you have no qualms speaking your mind,
06:14you must have tough skin when others speak their mind
06:16and say that you have much to improve as a duelist.
06:20Oh, yeah, Yusaku?
06:22Well, I got three things I can say about you,
06:24but I don't want my grandma to wash my mouth out with soap!
06:28There are three reasons why he shouldn't be so upset.
06:31But I guess it's too late to discuss them with him now.
06:47It's a glitch! They found me!
07:03Is it true, Zaizen? You've detected the Ignis?
07:07I have confirmation, Bishop.
07:09It appears the Ignis is lurking somewhere within the network system.
07:12We finally have a lead to the Cybers,
07:15the source that generated new data material
07:17to grow Sol Technology's virtual world.
07:20Or it used to, until that Ignis,
07:22that rogue AI program hid the Cybers from us five years ago.
07:27Without the Cybers, our network is slowly deteriorating.
07:30But if we locate the Cybers, our network will be fully restored.
07:34We find the Ignis, and we find the Cybers.
07:37Yes.
07:39You have permission to use all of Sol Technology's resources to find the Ignis.
07:43You've never failed us before, Zaizen. Do not stop now.
07:47I'll see to it right away.
08:01Varus, the Ignis has finally reappeared.
08:03But if we've detected it, Sol Tech must have too.
08:06They'll use it to find and revive the Cybers.
08:09Then we must simply capture it before they do, Spectre.
08:12The Cybers is to be destroyed, not revived.
08:15I don't doubt your abilities.
08:17But what if this Playmaker dares to interfere with us again?
08:20Let him. He's nothing but a nuisance.
08:22May I suggest that Playmaker is more formidable than you think?
08:26Our best hackers have failed to uncover his real-world identity.
08:29Because he not only blocks our trackers,
08:31he meticulously purges his login information.
08:33And when he-
08:34Focus on the task at hand.
08:36Hunt down that Ignis and bring it to me.
08:43Who are those two, Coulter?
08:45Not really up on the celebrity duelist scene, are ya?
08:48Been kinda busy.
08:50Hear that?
08:51Speaking of, ever hear of datastorms?
08:53Datastorms?
08:54Yeah, I heard rumors that crazy tornadoes used to blow through Link's brains.
08:58And thrill-seekers would ride those winds and battle on them in things called speed duels.
09:02Speed duels...
09:04But no one I know has ever seen a datastorm.
09:06But man, surfing the wind?
09:08Ha, crazy, right?
09:10But you know what's even crazier?
09:12Those people who say a hot dog is a sandwich!
09:16Some people, man.
09:18Some people.
09:19So you good, or do you want another?
09:22You're awfully quiet there, buddy.
09:24You care to share what's on your mind?
09:26Just thinking about the leader of the Hanoi...
09:28Where can he be?
09:30For such a large legion, he's difficult to find.
09:35Have you uncovered any new intel, Coulter?
09:37Maybe it's nothing, but there's been an uptick in Sol Technology's security searches.
09:41Word on the Darknet is, they're hunting for something.
09:44Hunting for what?
09:45For an artificial intelligence program.
09:48But why would you need to hunt for a program?
09:50It must certainly be quite the A.I.
09:53But if Sol Technologies wants it, you know who else would, right?
09:57Yeah, the Knights of Hanoi would, too.
10:00You know.
10:02You dare to attack the Knights of Hanoi?
10:04That's it. I have an idea.
10:06Coulter, fire it up.
10:08A what? The grill's already lit, Yusaku.
10:11Not the grill, the computers.
10:14Ah, right.
10:21If we capture this A.I. before anyone else,
10:23instead of having to search for the Knights of Hanoi,
10:25I can lure them to me.
10:27Seriously?
10:28You actually think you can catch this A.I. when everyone else has failed?
10:32Yes.
10:33Because they're doing it wrong.
10:34Instead of chasing it, you have to guide it.
10:36By hacking and shutting pathways in the city's grid,
10:39I can lead the A.I. to where I want it to go.
10:41Play things right, and it leaves the A.I. with a single escape route.
10:45Into here.
10:46That's a lot of coding for one person.
10:48Yes, you're correct.
10:49But it's not too much for two.
10:51Huh?
10:52Hmm. Let's do it.
11:00Have you caught the Ignis?
11:02Have you caught the Ignis?
11:04No, not yet.
11:06Why the delay?
11:08We are prepared to launch a city-wide scan, sir.
11:11But we'll have to reroute power from our security systems,
11:14leaving our network vulnerable to attack.
11:16That is a risk we must take.
11:19As you wish.
11:25Greetings, Radiants!
11:27Tonight we're pulling a twofer,
11:29with a pair of celebrities providing a double dose of dueling!
11:32In Zone 1 is Gore!
11:34His muscles are as pumped as this crowd!
11:37And featured in Zone 2 is the world's favorite battling beauty herself,
11:41Blue Angel!
11:43Wow! Listen to that!
11:45The True Blue crew is out in force tonight!
11:47Do these two duelists have what it takes to keep their winning streaks alive
11:50as they climb the Link Brains' championship ladder?
11:53We're about to find out!
11:54Yeah, Gore, you're my go-to guy!
11:55But I'm True Blue, too.
11:58Oh, man! What's to watch? They're both so flash!
12:01Rerouting power from the security grid.
12:04Done.
12:05The system is ready to run the scan.
12:07Good. Do it.
12:09Yes, sir. Engaging now.
12:19Uh-oh!
12:20Wait, no, fail me now!
12:21Oh, wait, I don't have the...
12:25Step it up!
12:26One of the technologies is already scanning the city.
12:29The city's firewall is down 23%.
12:31And floundering.
12:33This is our chance.
12:34Number 10!
12:37Yes, Master Barrus. How may I serve?
12:39The Ignis will attempt to escape into Link Brains.
12:42Capture it and bring it to me immediately.
12:44Affirmative.
12:50Oh, no! We have a major security breach!
12:53Purge it! Now!
12:54It's too late! They broke the firewall!
13:04Why's she getting all fuzzy?
13:06Who touched the antenna?
13:08The Knights of Hanoi have joined the party.
13:10Yes, just stay focused.
13:12Now, only a few more lines to go.
13:14Watch that!
13:17This isn't good.
13:20I'll find the Ignis even if I have to destroy this whole world.
13:24Run!
13:29Run for it!
13:33We're too late, Yusaku.
13:35No. I am not giving up.
13:37Yeah, but this looks impossible.
13:39The impossible is just the possible that has yet to be done.
13:42Trust me. I feel that this will work.
13:44Because it has to.
13:47Coast clear!
13:48I found you, Ignis!
13:50Or not.
13:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no! I'm trapped!
13:53Here we go.
13:54Initiating backdoor pathway.
13:56Woo-hoo! It's my lucky day!
13:58We can't contain this.
13:59Avatars are being erased left and right.
14:01The Greats will be destroyed!
14:04Let's get out of here!
14:06If the A.I. took the bait,
14:09it'll come straight here!
14:24Whoa!
14:25Hello there.
14:26You must be the A.I. everyone wants.
14:29Where am I?
14:30Inside my dual disk.
14:31And I spliced in some safeguards so you can't alter its programming.
14:34So I'm trapped in here?
14:36Who are you clowns?
14:37Clowns who rescued you from the Knights of Hanoi.
14:39Why, you!
14:40I'm sorry I called you stupid, ugly clowns!
14:42Let me go!
14:54There's the Hanoi.
14:55I'm going.
14:56Going where?
14:57To Link Brains.
14:58What? But I just left there.
15:01Well then, you should feel right at home.
15:05It's time to link into the Brains!
15:24Link Brains
15:34You're toast!
15:38Lucky we're both not toast.
15:41Thanks for the save.
15:43You dare interfere, punk?
15:44My name is Playmaker.
15:46And I have what you're looking for right here.
15:49So if you don't call off your attack, you will regret it.
15:52Because I'll delete this A.I. right now.
15:55What?
15:56I've decided I don't like you very much.
15:58If you want this program, there's only one way for you to get it.
16:01By beating me in a duel.
16:07That really is the Ignis.
16:08How did he get it?
16:10Good.
16:12Why, thank you.
16:13You saved me the trouble of capturing that thing.
16:15That Ignis is as good as mine.
16:17We'll see, won't we?
16:20Playmaker, you got this.
16:22Hack up that hacker!
16:29Hey, I've been looking through your deck and woof!
16:32You won't beat his dragon with these cards.
16:34Oh, is that so?
16:35Then you had better hope that your analysis is incorrect.
16:38Or else you'll be going home with him.
16:40Glitch!
16:41That'd be worse than hanging out with you.
16:43Okay then.
16:44I'll even up the odds.
16:50Cybers! Generate new data material!
17:11What's going on?
17:20Hop aboard, Playmaker!
17:30No way!
17:35That's a data storm!
17:39Ready to speed duel?
17:41If you want to win, seize the wind, Playmaker!
