Summary[]
Magoroku Shido angrily destroys his office due to losing on the first round of the ABC cup against a 6th Grader, meanwhile Doai tries to escape the prison and take revenge on Shido but Genma states there's no way to escape for the moment.
The first semifinal match is Gao vs Noboru, however before the match everyone finds out that Noboru will be leaving the country that same day. Gao is shocked and angered at the news. During the match, Gao and Noboru constantly argue. Gao states that Noboru is supposed to be his friend and he's the one who taught him Buddyfight, while Noboru states that he's jealous of Gao, finding a Buddy Rare card and constantly winning even against Tasuku Ryuenji; something Noboru always wanted to do.
When Noboru is apparently cornered, his team mates offer him advice based on many simulated scenarios they had prepared; Noboru is reluctant to accept their suggestions at first, but eventually agrees and calls them his friends. Using his friends' advice he nearly beats Gao, leaving him at 1 Life point because his Dragon Knight, Vlad Dracula didn't have enough Critical power. Gao angrily states that he's only mad about Noboru not saying goodbye and wins casting Gargantua Punisher!!, after which Gao sadly states he will miss Noboru.
After the fight, Noboru is at the airport about to leave when he suddenly starts receiving text messages from his friends. He then notices everyone at the airport saying goodbye.

Other Scenario[]
On Noboru Kodo's second turn, it was stated that he draw Green Dragon Shield and was asked if he will charge Dragon Knight, Masamune. If by any chance he charged another card and replaced Dragon Knight, El Quixote on his right position, there would have been 5 Dragon Knight cards in the drop zone and the Dragon Knight, Vlad Dracula will have a total of 5 critical points, thus being enough critical to make him win the game!
