    Vanguard.
[00:08] ---
    The card game with millions of players all over the world,
[00:16] ---
    is always thrilling people
[00:19] ---
    and nurturing bonds.
[00:24] ---
    And now, that history
[00:27] ---
    is about to be joined by
    the birth of a new legend.
[00:39] ---
    Stride Generation!

    Your dreams for the future.
    Your goals. Your interests.

[02:24] ---
    After that, think hard about your
    future course and make a decision.
[02:29] ---
    Turn them in on next Monday.
[02:33] ---
    It'd be nice if I had a marketable skill...
[02:38] ---
    For someone who talks about self-reliance,
    you're kind of wishy-washy.
[02:42] ---
    What about you?
[02:45] ---
    Good question. Maybe I want to live abroad...
[02:49] ---
    About this topic...
[02:51] ---
    How long are you going to go on about it?
[02:53] ---
    I thought we were going to talk about
    what we'd do next as TRY3.
[02:57] ---
    Easy for you to say.
    You already know what you're gonna do.
[03:00] ---
    For better or worse.
[03:02] ---
    But it sounds tough. You'll be
    taking over the family business?
[03:07] ---
    I'm mentally prepared for it.
[03:10] ---
    It's the fate of one
    who is born as a Kiba heir.
[03:17] ---
    My interest... It's gotta be this.
[03:29] ---
    What can I do?
[03:40] ---
    Chrono Dran...
[03:42] ---
    You really do like units
    that have your name in them!
[03:47] ---
    Sorry to break it to you,
    but you're not funny in the least.
[03:51] ---
    The way you tease...
[03:51] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[03:52] ---
    Then I'll tease you a different way!
[03:54] ---
    Welcome!
[03:58] ---
    E-Excuse me...
[04:02] ---
    Please teach me Vanguard.
SIGN    Turn 1 The G Quest Begins!
[04:11] ---
    You've got a deck.
[04:13] ---
    Yes. I got it from the Association's...
    I mean, from an acquaintance.
[04:18] ---
    She's an absolute beginner, so I'd like you
    to play a teaching fight with her.
[04:23] ---
    Since the best way to learn
    Vanguard is through fighting.
[04:27] ---
    Uh huh!
[04:29] ---
    Roger! Leave it to us...
[04:32] ---
    Trinity Dragon!
[04:36] ---
    ...is what I'd like to say...
[04:38] ---
    ...but I'm sorry, Manager!
[04:40] ---
    We accepted a quest and have to get going!
[04:45] ---
    Sorry...
[04:52] ---
    This is Chrono Shindou.
[04:54] ---
    And this is...
[04:57] ---
    Luna Yumizuki. Nice to meet you.
[05:02] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard.
[05:08] ---
    First, we choose a place to fight.
[05:12] ---
    Where would you like?
[05:13] ---
    U-Um...
[05:18] ---
    This.
[05:19] ---
    Then you select a grade 0 card
[05:22] ---
    and set it down as your first Vanguard.
[05:28] ---
    Next, draw five cards as your hand
[05:31] ---
    from a well-shuffled deck.
[05:33] ---
    At this point, you have one chance to redraw.
[05:36] ---
    The trick is to get grades
    1 to 3 in your hand.
[05:43] ---
    I have them.
[05:44] ---
    Good.
[05:46] ---
    Normally, you then decide who goes
    first with rock-scissors-paper,
[05:49] ---
    but this time I'll go first,
     since it's easier to explain that way.
[05:53] ---
    Okay.
[05:54] ---
    From here on out, we're going to
    another world, the planet Cray,
[05:57] ---
    where we'll have our fight.
[05:59] ---
    The planet Cray?
[06:01] ---
    Imagination is everything with Vanguard.
[06:03] ---
    The power of the units. The course of the fight.
    Your opponent's psychology.
[06:08] ---
    Only someone who can imagine those
    can grasp victory.
[06:13] ---
    Picture it... The world
    we're going to battle on.
[06:32] ---
    This is the Dark Zone's Amphitheater.
[06:36] ---
    Right now, we're on Cray
    as powerless astral bodies.
[06:41] ---
    We can't do anything in this form.
[06:44] ---
    That's why we summon units
    that will give us power.
[06:49] ---
    Those are Vanguards.
[06:51] ---
    The word means "one who leads."
[06:54] ---
    One who leads...
[06:56] ---
    By riding a Vanguard,
[06:58] ---
    we'll gain a form to fight with on Cray.
[07:01] ---
    Picture it.
[07:03] ---
    The moment this becomes you!
[07:11] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[07:14] ---
    Chrono Dran!
[07:17] ---
    Happiness Collector!
[07:23] ---
    First, I stand and draw.
[07:26] ---
    I'm already standing on the first turn though, so I just draw.
[07:31] ---
    Next is the ride phase.
[07:33] ---
    I make the Vanguard evolve
    into a stronger unit.
[07:37] ---
    Ride! Timebreak Dragon!
[07:41] ---
    Next, the main phase.
[07:43] ---
    I summon rear-guards to fight
    alongside the Vanguard.
[07:46] ---
    Call! Timebreak Dragon!
[07:50] ---
    These are ally units that
    fight together with the Vanguard.
SIGN    Special Booster Pack Now on Sale!
[07:58] ---
    The rule is that the person who starts can't
    attack on the first turn, so my turn is over.
[08:02] ---
    Then I'm next?
[08:06] ---
    I'm already standing, so I just draw.
[08:10] ---
    Then you ride.
[08:11] ---
    Right.
[08:16] ---
    What's wrong?
[08:18] ---
    Should I put down one with a high number?
[08:22] ---
    Yeah. That's right...
[08:24] ---
    I shouldn't use this one?
[08:27] ---
    I feel that Betty
    would suit the stage more.
[08:33] ---
    For now, Iet's ride the unit
    with more power.
[08:37] ---
    That's better for attacking,
     as well as advantageous for defense.
[08:41] ---
    Really?
[08:44] ---
    He said you can't come out. It's too bad.
[08:48] ---
    You'll be able to use that card later, too.
[08:51] ---
    Really?!
[08:53] ---
    Then...
[08:53] ---
    ...I ride Miracle Tumbler, Lance!
[08:58] ---
    Some units have skills.
[09:01] ---
    When a unit of the same clan
    rides on Happiness Collector,
[09:05] ---
    you can call it as a rear-guard.
[09:07] ---
    That increases your allies by one.
[09:10] ---
    Call!
[09:11] ---
    And then I call
    Moonlight Melody Tamer, Betty!
[09:18] ---
    Betty is on the stage!
[09:20] ---
    Good for you!
[09:24] ---
    Now we're ready.
[09:26] ---
    Next, you attack my Vanguard.
[09:28] ---
    Right.
[09:29] ---
    You can use grade 0 and 1 units to boost.
[09:33] ---
    That makes the unit in front of it stronger.
[09:37] ---
    Then, with a boost from Happiness Collector,
[09:40] ---
    Miracle Tumbler attacks your Vanguard!
[09:43] ---
    No guard.
[09:45] ---
    Then, when your Vanguard attacks,
    you do a drive check.
[09:50] ---
    You knew that?
[09:53] ---
    No, I had no idea. I just had a feeling...
[09:59] ---
    With the drive check,
    you turn over one card from your deck.
[10:02] ---
    Right.
[10:05] ---
    The cards with a special mark like that
    are called triggers,
[10:09] ---
    and when they appear,
    you get a beneficial effect.
[10:12] ---
    This is a good thing, right?
[10:15] ---
    Yeah, that's right.
[10:16] ---
    I knew it! It's like the cards are singing!
[10:22] ---
    That was a critical trigger.
[10:24] ---
    Your power increases by 5000,
[10:26] ---
    and you can increase the damage to
    your opponent's Vanguard by 1 point.
[10:31] ---
    If the Vanguard gets hit,
    you do a damage check.
[10:35] ---
    If I draw a trigger here,
    I may be able to heal 1 damage,
[10:39] ---
    but for now, I didn't get anything.
[10:41] ---
    This shows that my Vanguard took damage.
[10:44] ---
    When there are 6 cards here,
    the person loses.
[10:47] ---
    Next, you attack with your rear-guards.
[10:50] ---
    Right.
[10:51] ---
    Betty attacks your Vanguard!
[10:54] ---
    I'm going to guard here!
[10:58] ---
    Like that, if the power of my units exceeds yours,
[11:03] ---
    I successfully guard it.
[11:05] ---
    I put the cards that I used
    to guard in the Drop Zone.
[11:09] ---
    And that's the basic flow of the fight.
[11:12] ---
    Okay.
[11:13] ---
    Ride your Vanguard in every turn.
[11:15] ---
    As the grade rises and it gets stronger,
    you prepare for the battle.
[11:19] ---
    When your Vanguard gets to grade 3,
    you'll be able to use amazing skills,
[11:25] ---
    but that's something to look forward to.
[11:29] ---
    You guys...
[11:30] ---
    Sorry to interrupt.
[11:32] ---
    We're Chrono's teammates. Nice to meet you.
[11:35] ---
    Teammates?
[11:37] ---
    Right. Team TRY3.
[11:39] ---
    He's surly, right?
[11:42] ---
    Want me to step in and teach you instead?
[11:44] ---
    Really?!
[11:45] ---
    Hey!
[11:46] ---
    I-I'm sorry!
[11:48] ---
    But I would rather have a girl teach me...
[11:52] ---
    Actually, I was just kidding...
[11:55] ---
    Then let's all teach her. How about that?
[11:59] ---
    You're still in the middle
    of your fight with Chrono.
[12:02] ---
    Sure.
[12:03] ---
    Then let's continue.
[12:05] ---
    Right!
[12:19] ---
    First, try attacking this
    with your rear-guard.
[12:22] ---
    Right!
[12:23] ---
    Sinhalite Beast Tamer attacks
    History-maker Dragon with a boost from Betty!
[12:29] ---
    No guard! History-maker Dragon retires.
[12:34] ---
    Next, with your Vanguard.
[12:35] ---
    Star Magician, Elen attacks your Vanguard
    with a boost from Happiness!
[12:40] ---
    No guard.
[12:41] ---
    Drive check!
[12:44] ---
    A stand trigger.
[12:46] ---
    A unit that has attacked can act one more time.
[12:50] ---
    See? If you start by
    attacking with a rear-guard,
[12:53] ---
    you won't waste the trigger, right?
[12:56] ---
    Stand on the stage once more!
    Sinhalite Beast Tamer!
[13:01] ---
    I attack your Vanguard!
[13:05] ---
    Damage check! Heal trigger!
[13:08] ---
    Heal trigger?
[13:10] ---
    I put the damage in the Damage Zone,
    and decrease it by 1 card.
[13:13] ---
    Then on balance, the net result
    of that attack was 0?
[13:17] ---
    That seems like cheating.
[13:19] ---
    It's not cheating! It's the rule!
[13:23] ---
    I ride Chronojet Dragon!
[13:26] ---
    I call Steam Fighter, Balih
    and History-maker Dragon!
[13:31] ---
    Steam Fighter, Balih attacks your Vanguard!
[13:34] ---
    Guard!
[13:38] ---
    Chronojet Dragon attacks your Vanguard!
[13:44] ---
    History-maker Dragon attacks!
[13:48] ---
    Guard!
[13:52] ---
    You've really gotten used to it.
[13:54] ---
    Yes!
[13:55] ---
    Hey, what made you want to
    start playing Vanguard, Luna?
[13:59] ---
    Actually...
[14:01] ---
    ...I've got a friend who's
    really good at Vanguard,
[14:04] ---
    and I kind of want to
    surprise that person.
[14:07] ---
    I know! I bet it's a boy you're in love with!
[14:11] ---
    She actually said it.
[14:12] ---
    She's got no delicacy.
[14:14] ---
    No! She's a girl.
[14:17] ---
    We're always together,
[14:19] ---
    but I'd like to get closer to her.
[14:25] ---
    Well, it's your turn, Luna.
[14:28] ---
    Draw!
[14:29] ---
    Here's where it really gets fun!
[14:31] ---
    Try riding a grade 3.
[14:33] ---
    Right!
[14:34] ---
    I ride Masked Magician, Harri!
[14:39] ---
    When both fighters reach grade 3,
[14:42] ---
    they can use the G unit here
    to stride their Vanguard.
[14:46] ---
    Stride...
[14:48] ---
    The G units represent another future for us.
[14:52] ---
    The person you want to be,
    unknown possibilities...
[14:55] ---
    Transcend the dimensional barrier
    and draw them to you!
[14:59] ---
    My future... possibilities...
[15:03] ---
    First, calculate the cost, which is cards
    in your hand that total grade 3 or higher
[15:09] ---
    and put those cards into the Drop Zone.
[15:12] ---
    Right.
[15:13] ---
    Picture your possibilities.
[15:19] ---
    Generation Zone... release!
[15:24] ---
    Shine, my other self!
[15:28] ---
    To the sparkling stage...
[15:30] ---
    Stride Generation!
[15:42] ---
    Ardor Dragon Master, Amanda!
[15:47] ---
    When you stride with a G unit,
    your previous Vanguard becomes a Heart.
[15:51] ---
    The G unit takes on its name and power.
[15:55] ---
    Amanda attacks your Vanguard
    with a boost from Happiness Collector!
[16:00] ---
    No guard!
[16:01] ---
    The G unit, which has obtained
    further possibilities,
[16:05] ---
    has Triple Drive.
[16:07] ---
    You can turn over three cards
    during the drive check.
[16:15] ---
    Critical trigger!
[16:18] ---
    This is my future! My possibility!
[16:32] ---
    What an imagination...
[16:37] ---
    At the end of your turn,
    you return the G unit to the G zone.
[16:41] ---
    Turn end!
[16:43] ---
    You're doing great, Luna!
[16:46] ---
    R-Really?
[16:48] ---
    Yeah. That was some attack.
[16:51] ---
    Now it's my turn!
[16:53] ---
    Stride Generation!
[16:57] ---
    Chronodragon Nextage!
[17:04] ---
    Rigid Breakthrough!
[17:17] ---
    6 damage...
[17:20] ---
    Does that mean it's over?
[17:23] ---
    Hey! What's the idea of getting
    fired up against a total beginner?!
[17:27] ---
    I didn't mean to...
[17:28] ---
    You even drive checked triggers. Unbelievable.
[17:31] ---
    And a triple, at that.
[17:33] ---
    I can't help what I drew!
[17:35] ---
    This is the first time someone's gotten
    mad at me for pulling a trigger!
[17:42] ---
    Miss Luna!
[17:44] ---
    If you like, how about
    another cardfight?
[17:47] ---
    This time with me!
[17:50] ---
    Sure!
[17:51] ---
    Oh, just call me Luna!
[17:54] ---
    It's nice to meet you, Luna.
[17:59] ---
    That's mine!
[18:03] ---
    Am...?
[18:05] [SONG] ---
    Hey!!
     You're late
[18:06] ---
    Lesson!
[18:08] ---
    I have to go! I'm sorry!
[18:11] ---
    Thank you for today! I had a lot of fun.
[18:15] ---
    Well, goodbye!
[18:17] ---
    Thank you!
[18:23] ---
    It looks like she was so into the fight
    that she forgot an appointment.
[18:30] ---
    She forgot this...
[18:39] ---
    Getting serious during a teaching fight
    shows you've got a long way to go.
[18:43] ---
    What's the point of a fight
    if you don't take it seriously?
[18:46] ---
    You can be serious and
    considerate at the same time.
[18:49] ---
    That's right!
[18:52] ---
    That reminds me!
[18:53] ---
    I was going to check out the quests.
[18:56] ---
    He ran away!
[19:02] ---
    Generation Quest activated!
[19:04] ---
    W-What the...?
[19:08] ---
    Generation Quest.
[19:12] ---
    It's the beginning of a new age!
[19:16] ---
    All of the Vanguard generations
    are gathered here!
[19:21] ---
    One great quest involving the six branches!
[19:24] ---
    A tempestuous time of change! Full of ups and downs!
[19:28] ---
    Unparalleled adventure and
    challenges are waiting for you!
[19:34] ---
    Who will conquer all the quests
[19:36] ---
    and obtain the glory of a Generation Master?
[19:41] ---
    The winners will also be on the path
    to becoming Clan Leaders too!
[19:45] ---
    Let's Stride Generation!
[19:51] ---
    Generation Quest... Generation Master...
[19:55] ---
    He also mentioned the path to
    becoming a Clan Leader, too.
[19:58] ---
    That's because Gear Chronicle is a new clan.
[20:01] ---
    If you do your best, you could become
    a first-generation Clan Leader.
[20:06] ---
    Clan Leader...
[20:10] ---
    Yeah! Clan Leader!
[20:14] ---
    I can see it...
[20:15] ---
    No way. You're not the leader type.
[20:18] ---
    It just doesn't suit you.
SIGN    Let's Stride
    Generation!
[20:21] ---
    Yeah, you're probably right.
[20:29] ---
    Nice to meet you, everyone!
[20:31] ---
    We're G Quest's official image characters...
[20:36] ---
    ...Rummy Labyrinth!
[20:38] ---
    I'm the whimsical dreaming
    butterfly, Am Chouno!
[20:42] ---
    Moonlight is my magic. I'm Luna Yumizuki!
[20:46] ---
    Rummy Labyrinth will heat up the G Quest!
[20:53] ---
    You over there!
[20:54] ---
    And you, too!
[20:56] ---
    Stand up with us!
[21:00] ---
    Enter the G Quest soon!
[21:03] ---
    Let's Stride Generation!
[21:07] ---
    What's going on here?
[21:09] ---
    I don't know. But it looks like
    she's one of those idols.
[21:12] ---
    And she's connected with the G Quest.
[21:16] ---
    Why is she doing that?
[21:20] ---
    I like the sound of the G Quest.
[21:22] ---
    Yeah. I'm totally fired up already.
[21:25] ---
    Then it's decided.
[21:27] ---
    TRY3's new challenge...
[21:31] ---
    ...is to go for the G Quest!
[23:16] ---
    As I told you last time,
[23:19] ---
    Plan-G starts now.
[23:57] ---
    Good work with the teaching fight!
[23:59] ---
    You fought seriously at
    the end of the fight, huh?
[24:02] ---
    I thought it'd be rude
    if I didn't do it seriously.
[24:05] ---
    And she was strong.
[24:07] ---
    Luna, was that her name? She's got talent.
[24:10] ---
    And she's actually an idol!
[24:13] ---
    That was a shock!
[24:15] ---
    It feels like all kinds of things
    are gonna happen from here on out!
[24:18] ---
    Well, I look forward to working together,
    Tokoha and Shion!
SIGN    Special Aqua Force
[24:21] ---
