Episode Title:
This Miracle Trembles.
Episode Description:
Ruko Kominato, a girl who has yet to make any friends after transferring into her new home, receives a deck for a WIXOSS card game from her brother. Upon inspecting her cards, Ruko is shocked to find that her LRIG card, which serves as her avatar during matches, is able to speak and move. The next day, Ruko is approached by a schoolmate named Yuzuki Kurebayashi, who reveals she, like Ruko, is a 'Selector' with her own living LRIG, Hanayo. She reveals Selectors are chosen girls who have the chance to have a wish granted, but will lose such a chance if they are defeated three times in battles with other Selectors. Yuzuki challenges Ruko to a WIXOSS battle, being brought into a strange field where both Hanayo and Ruko's LRIG, which she decides to name Tama, are alive. After receiving some tips about the rules from Yuzuki's brother, Kazuki, Ruko manages to gain the upper hand against Yuzuki, before the match is interrupted by a teacher, resulting in a no-loss game. Prior to this, Yuzuki inadvertently yells out her wish concerning Kazuki, though assumes Ruko didn't hear it. Later that night, as Ruko is thankful to make a new friend, she is also concerned by how heavily into the battle Tama was.
