>Episode 5 aired!
How did you enjoy episode 5, "This Irritation is Disillusionment"?

Futase Fumio, the author of the wixoss novelizaion.
As it turns out, behind that name was a high school girl.
According to Yuzuki, she attends a high school that she'd never be able to get into.
Not only is she a popular author, she's not bad looking either.

We also got the first appearance of Futase Fumio's LRIG, Ann.
She's a green LRIG with traditional Japanese wear and a traditional air.
She requires Green and White Ener to grow.

>A battle with Futase Fumio to discover the truth!
>"Please be gentle with me"
Ann begins with a confident look and greeting. She owes it to her no-loss streak.

Ruuko goes first. She summons Triumph and Grey on her first turn.

The turn immediately after.
Futase uses Fallen/Depravity to banish Ruuko's Triumph.
She didn't hesitate at all from the first turn.

(There was a mistake in the LRIG card while airing which was fixed from 11/17 at 18:30 on)
This was the board layout at the time.
Futase used Charging during her first turn.

Banish Pyuri with Slash Miracle!
Ruuko returns the banish without giving an inch.

>"Well then, I use Puri's ability to add Surrelis to my hand" Futase responds calmly.
The SIGNI Ruuko banished, Innocuous Match Puri, has the ability to search for Unresolved Deviation Surrelis by paying a cost.
This was the reason she used Charging on her previous turn, I see.

<Beautiful Technique> SIGNI's specialty is to accept and respond to their opponents, which Futase uses skillfully.
Unable to play seriously, Ruuko proceeds to the second half of the battle.

>Down to the wire. And then, Iona becomes Level 5

Ann's fifth turn.
She uses the Arts Big Wave and Gothic Boundary to crash her Life Cloth.
Iona is left with 0 Life Cloth. It's the end of the line.

And then, Iona's turn.
In response to Ruuko's call, she Grows to the unprecedented Level 5.
She turns the situation of ultimate despair around and goes on the attack. Doesn't she look so flashy and gorgeous?

The layout after she grew to level 5.
Ultima Maiden Iona's power forces each player to use no more than a single SIGNI. Because she already had three out, she was forced to trash two of them.
Because this ability changes the rules, even Inexplicable Superboast Contempora was forced to be trashed. How powerful.

The remaining Contempora was banished by Death Beam, and Ann's Life Cloth were crashed all at once, and then her turn ended.
She also used two Charging to prepare for the next turn.

It is then Ann's turn.
During her Attack Phase Iona uses Dark Matter, which cleared both SIGNI zones. In addition she gets another Life Cloth. It's a total turnaround!
Ann ends her turn in the worst possible position.

The final turn.
Without a single Art left, Ann has no way of defending herself.
With the summoning of Babel, Ruuko and Iona reach victory.

Level 5 Iona, as well as the perfect addition Dark Matter, are included in the fourth wave, so for those of you with Iona decks, please check it out!

Ann unfortunately lost, but perhaps the result would've been different if she had the Beautiful Technique cards that will soon be released.
We will be periodically releasing information about the new Beautiful Technique cards on the official site, so keep your eyes peeled.

>Futase Fumio's true identity
Futase Fumio was originally a LRIG by the name of "Futase".
Her Selector's name was "Fumio".
Her wish was "To become an author".
Futase is now called "Futase Fumio", and is working to grant that wish.

Why did she decide to write her novels about Selectors?
Why is she continuing to battle even now?
The mysteries continue to deepen, so look forward to next week!
