Opening Sequence
(Kimeru - Calling)
Calling and feeling I take your hearts thought
The scene first shown as the buddyfight card seems to be rolling down and it's card only reveals white and as the music plays it changes into the Buddyfight logo with Ranma, A black hooded figure, Raito,Eden, Subaru and Masato but as the sequence change the black hooded figure disappears as it seen only 5 of them
The data storm gazes my cheek so I can't open my eyes
The first scene shown Ranma looking at the rain like he is worried about something
What are you trying to find?
What are you going to do?
The other scene revealed the black hooded figure in the city with his buddy looking at the sky
I won't make anyone sad
Raito's scene seems to be like he was looking at the screen with his buddy a white dragon while it's changes to Eden confronting Merlin
I'll retrieve you and Let's go and look ahead
The scene changes with a brief of Eden and Miko's scene at café mikono then changes again it seems that Subaru is looking serious as he looks at the buddy police files while Masato is helping him
By meeting You the world is in color
The scene changes to all of the villain revealing their ace but just two that have been notified and that's the black astro dragon and a girl like character while the other 4 isn't shown
I'll protect you with unseen bonds
The scene change to the main protagonist with their main buddy except for Ranma and Eden as Subaru and Masato is the first to be introduced then it was Raito's
Calling With Invisible Wings
The scene changes when it was thought that Miko and Eden tag battles against someone
Destroy the Darkness and weakness within Me
The scene changes to Ranma facing the black figure person as he revealed his ace monster to be a dark form of deity as it's clash with Destroyer's new form then the scene changes to somewhat you may call a cutscene where it's shown a bit of track record with a picture then a scene of the villains wearing black coats sitting together somewhere (their hideout) and then a bit of scene of a deck core case with a bit of cards scattered and also some kind of book then it finally changes to Ranma with his junior high outfit seems to be walking and looking at the bright sky
As the genius gaze at the sky after he had a brief talk with his partner Cross Astrologia
"It's so nice gazing today…" Subaru smiled as he star gaze
"Yeah…" Cross said as he determines the star and predicts the future but he is blocked somehow
"What is wrong Cross?" Subaru asked
"Nothing…" The dragon replied
"I know you're lying Cross tell me what happened you can't lie." Subaru looked into his eyes and as to his prediction Cross gives off a worried look
"Okay I admit it! Just like when you faced against Yuga I can't predict the future that far anymore about you." The star dragon admits it that he can't see subaru's future but he saw a more horrible future
"So what did you get?" Subaru asked
"Well on the battle between Ranma and his match he will lose." Cross sighed
"I see… I won't let it happen like last time…" Subaru said
"Anywords from Yuga?" Cross asked
"Nope and his channel hasn't been updated for a few weeks." Subaru sighed
"I see.. want to see him tomorrow?" Cross asked
"Yeah before school let's go to his house he said he is going to Japan maybe we'll have some luck…" Subaru said
"Yeah…" Cross said
The Next Early Morning
Subaru walks around approximately to Yuga's house when he saw the gar trio is handling some morning groceries for yuga's mom as they saw Subaru is coming gar cat,gar dog and gar bird quickly rushes inside
"That was too close…" Garcat said inside as Gardog just sighed
"Why did we must hide anyway?" Gabird asked
"Don't you remember what last night Gardog said
Flashback
That Night
"Yuga I'm curious what will we do if we met with either Subaru or Masato?" Garcat asked
"Oh that…" Yuga sighed as Garga explained
"Just don't let them catch you in a glimpse we want to surprise them right?" The Dragod said
"Eh?!" The trio shouted
"So when will the surprise be?" Gardog asked
"Hmm… after the last day of the friendship cup but it can be closer…" Yuga smiled
"And about garbird?" Garcat asked
"It's the job for the two of you I need to go to bed…" Yuga yawns even though it is only 9 PM (Japan Time)
"Hoam me too!" Garga said as he also yawns and then they go to bed
End of Flashback
"Cross did you saw what I saw just now?" Subaru asked as he is outside
"Nope…" Cross said as he lied to his own partner as he definitely saw Gar trio but he doesn't want to say it
"Well let's check the house maybe he is here…" Subaru said as they knock on the door to Yuga's house and someone opens the door and it was none other than haru with his own buddy the magical phantom thief none other than Harri
"Haru we need to hurry or we're gonna be late…" Harri said his appearance is somewhat of a blue dragon with black mask and staff (just imagine joker from persona 5 but in dragon form)
"I got it don't push me…" Haru sighed as he was getting ready and bump into Subaru on his way there
"Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! " He apologized when he knows that in front of him is none other Subaru
"Are you alright?" Subaru asked
"I'm fine…" Haru smiled
"I heard that Yuga comes home from aboard is this true?" Subaru asked
"Oh that no… Brother didn't come home yet maybe today at afternoon he said to me like that…" Haru said
"Yeah right…" Harri added
"And oh yeah who are you?" Cross didn't notice that Harri was unknown to them
"Oh I'm Phantom Thief, Harri I'm Haru's temporary buddy pleased to meet you. I've come from the magic world I was tasked to look after him…" Harri pointed to Haru as he introduced himself
"I am…." Cross and Subaru wanted to introduce themselves but the phantom thief dragon just said their names
"Cross Astrologia and Hishiyomi Subaru the foreteller of star dragon world and his buddy the Ace of Study."
Subaru and Cross just give a surprised look
"How did you know?!" They both asked
"As Sherlock Holmes said Elementary My Dear boy…" Harri smiled
"Ah we're gonna be late…" Haru said
"Then hold on we're gonna get there fast we'll focus this on another time if you excuse me.." Harri smiled as Haru activates his buddy skill and went off with Harri as he turns into a staff and they went on ahead as he turns his buddy case into an air glider as he leaves
"His temporary buddy is really unique…" Cross said
"Well we better be off too." Subaru smiled as he leaves
Meanwhile,
"And that will be the info of today's match any question?" Yuga asked
"So we need to win this match today right?" Ozy asked
"Technically speaking yes.." Yuga said
"I'll try my best to win…" Merlin said
"I'll be going off now…" Yuga sighed as he leaves
"He always acts like the boss and you're okay with that?" Kuro asked
"We're still on par Kuro and he is my second in hand." Merlin smiled
"Hmph suit it yourself but one of this days sooner or later he is gonna took your place…" Kuro said as he warns merlin
"I know but I'm not afraid after all I had my hopes up…" Merlin then left
"He is still optimistic about himself huh?" His buddy asked to him
"Yeah how long will it stand? We'll see…" Kuro just sighed as he also leaves to watch the match
Sometime later in Aibo Academy Stage
"Today's fight will feature the Aibo Academy's Ace of Study Hoshiyomi Subaru and the number one person in Faze Academy Merlin!" Ion shouted as she commentated on it as Merlin and Subaru then goes into the field

"Woah they are neck to neck…" Masato just came after his extra class with Momo and the others as they pass by
"You could say that…" Ozy sighed
"This is something more interesting…" Momo said in an excited tone
"This is a rematch from last time right?" Kazuma asked
As they saw it again more clearly they saw Haru with someone in a white cloaked it is from Faze Academy and it's labeled as the seventh in Roman

"I better finish this quickly then before it gets troublesome draw then charge and draw! Right Buddy call! Astro Vision, Millenial (Size: None Attack: 10000 Defense: 5000 Critical: 1)" Merlin said calmly but first he used Star Vision Regain when he has only an item on the field it gains him 2 gauge and while on lost word grants him 2 draw then calls his buddy

"Lanency activate! Once per turn I reveal your top card and it's Mars Barrier!" The top card opens and Merlin gains 2 more gauge and a draw
"Rive activate everytimes a card is activated discard a card" He continued as Subaru discarded a card
"Subaru this is just like Yuga's fight…" Cross warned
"I know but we can't give up even if he knows what we'll do there is a way…" Subaru said in optimistic tone
"Garden of Avalon effect! That's two!" He put two cards in the soul
"Lanency and Rive Clear his Right Area!" Merlin Ordered
"He is coming for me huh!" Lanency was the first to attack but Subaru uses notify: Immobilize Tactics to rest his other card other than lanency and Millenia
"Soul Guard!" Gyron revived back
"Millenia!" Merlin ordered as he destroyed gyron
"You're joking right? My gyron is on the right and you're attacking it and not cross?" Subaru sighed
"Ahaha but don't forget I know what you are gonna do next turn so enjoy it…" Merlin smiled
"That is some boasting right there…" Subaru said
"Ahaha is that so?" Merlin asked
"No one takes him seriously this is normal…" Ozy sighed
"I think he is playing around again…" Momo sighed as she is eating sweets
"If he knows what I'm gonna do then…" Subaru thought as he was gonna play with merlin's game

"Vee does consecutive attacks against the fighter." Subaru headed him to do what he said
"As you got it, my master..." Vee attacks twice and it landed
"Cross!" Subaru said as cross attacks
"Lastly mine!" Subaru attacks but merlin blocks it with Vision Shield: Omnious Formation
"When I had a monster on my field with vision the damage is turn to zero I gain 1 life and 1 draw" Merlin explained as a field of crystal blocks the damage
"Final Phase!" Subaru stated
"Final Phase?" Merlin seems to be amused while assuming an interesting thing is going to be unfolded
"Thank you vee…" Subaru said
"No problem my master.." Vee smiled as he is destroyed and changed to twinseer dragon, Lyra Stoner

"Left call! Vision Stellar vise (size: none att: 10000 Def: 1000 crit: 2)" A large dragon with an orb appears on the center
"Vise effect…" Merlin said as he reveals the top card of Subaru and it's a monster card which means from vise text card it Subaru loses 2 gauge
"Right call! Vision Stellar Auron (Size: None att: 12000 def: 6000 crit: 2)" A dragon with grace and holding a harp appears out of nowhere

"The three of you link attack against athora!" Merlin commanded
"Cast! Blessed Rain Tactics! Your attack is nullified and I gain 2 life!" Subaru said as he dodge the attack on Athora
"I end my turn…" Merlin sighed
"What is this?!" Ion shouted
"You're kidding right?!" Subaru shouted
"Even if I used my items effect I can only decrease your life by 3 and you still had defense spell so it's clear but.." Merlin looked at the gauge
"Gauge doesn't matter anymore I'm going to end this turn!" Subaru declared his final turn as he saw Avalon only has 4 souls
"Final Phase!" Subaru shouted
"My time is out huh Vee the rest is up to you…" Lya smiled as the dragon leaves the field and vee is back on the right area

"Vee attack his right and do double damage!" Both of them do a collaboration attack as from the look of it Merlin just sighed and look at his hand cards
"Final Phase! Shine! The three stars that connect the future! Tri- Star Decision!" Subaru uses his impact and ends the game
"Victory to the stars…" Cross said
"Ah we lost…" The Dark Astro Dragon just sighed as he looks at the seat that the number seven already leave

"You win this time congratulations…" Merlin smiled
"Are you really going serious this time?" Subaru asked
"Hmm I don't know…" Merlin puts up a cheerful smile but went serious
"The next fight your friend is gonna lose I guarantee it…" The Dark Astro Dragon predicted it as he went into his buddy form
"Millenial it's not good fortune telling now" Merlin just sighed
"I got it then see you tomorrow…" Millenial just sighed as he reads a small book and noted when he lost
Meanwhile,
The person wearing the number seven jacket just smiled as his vision of time changed as a huge dark dragon as big as a city appeared without anyone noticing
"Zero it's almost time…" The dragon spoke
"I got it End Ruler Dragon the time is going to be near…" The person spoke as his buddy skill activates and from behind him was a clock symbol but in roman
"You better entertain me kid…" The dragon then disappeared
"Of course of course I guaranteed you it…" It laughed evilly as time stopped

(Ride On My fight -Kitta and Mimmori)
The first scene is shown from Ranma in the middle of somewhat a competition that he was accompanied by the right is Raito while the left it's the hooded black figurethen they disappeared by the light as many buddyfight cards seems to be floating

I will go even in the last minute situation
To the field beyond the limit

Pride not defeated by diamonds
Valuable brilliance now and now

Stronger than anyone
I can believe today
It will be a smile that causes a miracle
The scene then changes again as Ranma uses the new card and Destroyer is shown in a purple armor with black motive (like Gargantua Lost Dragon)
It's magic
Trump is Ride on my turn! More
I will show you a hot heart
It is surely a last-minute challenge
To the field where you bet your fate
The last scene changes as the hooded figure shown his buddy while Raito is with his light buddy and at last Ranma is with the new Destroyer on the end as the background is shown on the dragon world with the other deity dragon tribe
