The plot shifts gears to parody competitive trading card games like Yu-Gi-Oh! and Vanguard. Character designs for the opponents are hilariously edgy, mocking over-the-top anime card players. Visuals make great use of dark, basement lighting to emphasize the "underground" nature of the local card shop culture.

Specific Moment: The physical card-slapping animation, which uses heavy screen shakes to make drawing a piece of paper look like a heavy sword strike.
