No need to worry about victory, the growth of training is revealed in movements
My will to battle burst. I increase the power even more
Friendship in full capacity, break the rule and change
Open all the frames, I will not fear when the sky becomes gray
To make those dreams come true, you accompany me in tracking them down
Release a golden flash full of miraculous change
Innate pursuit and counterattack, exceeding other's achievements, leap and jump
Strive for competence every day and night
Fall into this advanced new generation
With confidence, fearless in attack

If we can charge together
Overwhelm the opponent and win the match
Our fighting spirit will never change
