[00:27] ---
    At last.
[00:29] ---
    Yeah.
[00:32] ---
    Well, shall we go in?
[00:33] ---
    Yeah!
SIGN    G Quest
[02:16] ---
    Say, are they closed today?
[02:19] ---
    No, this is definitely the right date.
[02:23] ---
    But...
[02:24] ---
    ...shouldn't there be more people here,
    since they're holding the quest?
[02:28] ---
    True...
[02:30] ---
    Well, they're probably in the hall already.
[02:34] ---
    Hmm...
[02:41] ---
    Oh, they are here...
[02:46] ---
    Thank you for coming today.
[02:48] ---
    Please come again!
[02:50] ---
    Luna... and Am!

SIGN    Turn 12  Kai's Lightning
[03:05] ---
    Huh?
[03:06] ---
    Everyone's going home? Even though
    the Quest is about to begin?
[03:10] ---
    It's always like this.
[03:13] ---
    At first there were a lot of participants
    and many spectators, as well,
[03:18] ---
    but the quests were so difficult
    that the numbers are dwindling.
[03:23] ---
    Ibuki and Kai are just too strong...
[03:28] ---
    So only our fans and people with a lot of
    confidence in their abilities come now.
[03:33] ---
    What the heck is that?
[03:36] ---
    What's going on at this branch?
    We're talking the G Quest!
[03:40] ---
    I don't care, as long as I can fight.
[03:42] ---
    This works for me, too. I'll probably
    be able to focus better without the noise.
[03:46] ---
    Well, yeah, but...
[03:48] ---
    There's nothing that can be done about it.
    It's kind of the branch chief's policy.
[04:04] ---
    Branch Chief, it's about to begin...
[04:07] ---
    I left everything to Mr. Ibuki and
    Mr. Kai, so there's no problem.
[04:12] ---
    But not having the branch chief
     there would be...
[04:15] ---
    I'm a little tied up right now.
[04:18] ---
    But...
[04:19] ---
    This is research!
[04:21] ---
    So? What did you want?
[04:25] ---
    It seems we only have
    21 participants today...
[04:35] ---
    It's incomprehensible.
[04:38] ---
    We give people a chance to go up against
     two world-class fighters.
[04:42] ---
    Why is the participation rate dropping off?
[04:45] ---
    Well, because it's too difficult...
[04:49] ---
    I want to hurry up and
    get back to the Stargate Branch,
[04:52] ---
    where people can play
    Vanguard in peace and quiet.
[05:01] ---
    This is really everybody
    who's gonna participate?
[05:05] ---
    Thank you for your patience.
[05:07] ---
    The Stargate Branch G Quest
    is about to begin.
[05:11] ---
    First let's bring out...
[05:14] ---
    ...Toshiki Kai and Kouji Ibuki!
[05:42] ---
    The rules are exceedingly simple.
[05:44] ---
    Choose two people on your team
    to fight these two.
[05:49] ---
    If you can win even once,
    we'll reward you with ten stamps.
[05:54] ---
    If you lose, you get just one and it's over.
[05:59] ---
    What's he smilin' about?
[06:06] ---
    Well, everyone, please stand by
    in the waiting room until instructed.
[06:17] ---
    Good job!
[06:19] ---
    The guy with the jacket is here, huh?
[06:23] ---
    Probably for a revenge match.
[06:26] ---
    I've gotta give him credit for persistence.
[06:30] ---
    I'm not like you.
[06:34] ---
    Oh? So that's what you'll be using?
[06:53] ---
    I've decided! I'm letting
    you two fight today.
[06:57] ---
    After all, you have a
    connection with them, right?
[07:00] ---
    Chrono with Kouji Ibuki,
     and Shion with Toshiki Kai.
[07:05] ---
    But... are you sure?
[07:08] ---
    You want to settle things
    with him, don't you?
[07:12] ---
    Much obliged.
[07:13] ---
    Thanks, Tokoha.
[07:15] ---
    In exchange, be sure to win.
[07:18] ---
    Sure!
[07:21] ---
    The Team TRY3 challenging Toshiki Kai,
    please get ready immediately.
[07:35] ---
    Shion!
[07:37] ---
    Are you up already?
[07:39] ---
    Yeah.
[07:40] ---
    I'll watch your fight.
[07:42] ---
    I have a little time before our next gig.
[07:45] ---
    But it's amazing how you guys have won
    all the G Quests you've done so far.
[07:49] ---
    Keep it up, and you'll win the grand prize!
[07:53] ---
    It's still very much in progress.
[07:55] ---
    All we can do is accumulate
    one win at a time.
[07:59] ---
    You're realistic about it, huh?
[08:02] ---
    Luna and I are both rooting
    for you, so good luck!
[08:05] ---
    Thank you.
[08:30] ---
    Good luck! Run rings around Kai!
[08:43] ---
    Stand up the Vanguard!
[08:47] ---
    Shining Knight, Millius!
[08:50] ---
    Lizard Soldier, Saishin!
[08:53] ---
    Narukami...
[08:55] ---
    Let's see how good you really are.
[08:59] ---
    Bring it on.
[09:02] ---
    I ride Lunar Crescent Knight, Felax!
[09:06] ---
    I ride Crownholder Dragon!
[09:10] ---
    I attack your Vanguard!
[09:14] ---
    Ride!
[09:16] ---
    Absolute Blade Knight, Livarot!
[09:18] ---
    Attack!
[09:21] ---
    I ride Dusty Plasma Dragon!
[09:24] ---
    Attack!
[09:32] ---
    Here's where it really begins.
[09:33] ---
    Yeah.
[09:35] ---
    Unbreakable sword, uncrushable soul,
[09:38] ---
    now more than ever, follow my steel will!
[09:41] ---
    Ride!
[09:44] ---
    Blue Sky Knight, Altmile!
[09:47] ---
    I attack your Vanguard!
[09:50] ---
    No guard.
[09:51] ---
    Twin drive!
[09:54] ---
    Critical trigger!
[09:56] ---
    He suddenly got one?
[09:58] ---
    I give the extra critical to Altmile,
[10:01] ---
    and the +5000 power to Knight of Twin Sword!
[10:08] ---
    Knight of Twin Sword attacks!
[10:14] ---
    3 all at once! That makes 4 damage!
[10:17] ---
    Keep up this momentum, Shion!
[10:21] ---
    You seem different than last time.
[10:26] ---
    I ride the Vanguard!
[10:30] ---
    Dragonic Kaiser Crimson!
[10:33] ---
    Stride Generation!
[10:42] ---
    Lightning Dragon Knight, Zorras!
[10:47] ---
    I call Dragonic Deathscythe!
[10:51] ---
    Skill activated! I retire Twin Sword.
[10:55] ---
    Lightning Dragon Knight, Zorras...
[10:59] ---
    ...attacks your Vanguard!
[11:01] ---
    No guard!
[11:03] ---
    Triple drive!
[11:05] ---
    I got a heal trigger.
[11:12] ---
    Saishin's skill! It moves to the Soul.
[11:15] ---
    I retire Millius.
[11:18] ---
    And then, with Lightning Dragon Knight,
    Zorras's skill, I retire one more unit.
[11:23] ---
    Three units in the rear-guard,
    suddenly retired?!
[11:25] ---
    That's Narukami...
[11:27] ---
    And he's not done yet.
[11:30] ---
    Deathscythe attacks your Vanguard!
[11:39] ---
    Narukami wipes out my rear-guard every turn.
[11:43] ---
    You chose that deck to test me, didn't you?
[11:50] ---
    But I came prepared for it!
[11:55] ---
    Then prove yourself.
[12:15] ---
    Stride Generation!
[12:19] ---
    Shrouded Divine Knight, Gablade!
[12:22] ---
    I attack your Vanguard!
[12:24] ---
    Triple drive!
[12:27] ---
    I got a heal trigger!
[12:30] ---
    Let's go, Gablade!
[12:36] ---
    Gablade's skill!
[12:38] ---
    Come, Knight of Refinement, Benizel!
[12:43] ---
    Benizel's skill! I superior call Techgal!
[12:50] ---
    He rebuilt his rear-guard
    all at once with skills!
[12:53] ---
    This is where it gets real, Shion!
[13:02] ---
    My old self died that day.
[13:05] ---
    Knight of Greatspear attacks your Vanguard!
[13:10] ---
    Guard.
[13:13] ---
    Benizel!
[13:14] ---
    Guard!
[13:17] ---
    This is what makes the challenge worthwhile!
[13:21] ---
    Then I'll beat you one more time.
[13:24] ---
    Seek the mate!
[13:27] ---
    Dragonic Kaiser Crimson,
[13:29] ---
    together with your mate,
    Vermilion, release it...
[13:32] ---
    Lightning of the Apocalypse! Legion!
[13:43] ---
    The engine got started.
    What are you gonna do?
[13:48] ---
    Vermilion's skill activates!
[13:50] ---
    I attack all of the units in the front row!
[13:57] ---
    No guard!
[13:58] ---
    Twin drive...
[14:00] ---
    I got a heal trigger.
[14:03] ---
    Mow it down!
[14:09] ---
    Crownholder Dragon's skill.
[14:11] ---
    For this turn, it and
    Dragonic Deathscythe get +2000 power.
[14:17] ---
    Dusty Plasma Dragon and
    Crownholder Dragon get +2000 power.
[14:23] ---
    On top of that, another +2000 power.
[14:27] ---
    Three times in total?
[14:29] ---
    That skill activates when a unit with
    "Kaiser" in the name has a successful hit.
[14:34] ---
    I attack your Vanguard!
[14:46] ---
    No matter how many times
    he rebuilds with skills,
[14:48] ---
    Narukami will just mow it down.
[14:52] ---
    And Narukami's power increases each time.
[14:55] ---
    Every time his opponent rises,
    Narukami delivers a deep wound.
[14:59] ---
    Oh no...
[15:01] ---
    Suddenly at 5 damage?
[15:03] ---
    Shion...
[15:13] ---
    He's...
[15:16] ---
    Fitting of you, Toshiki Kai.
[15:22] ---
    You're going to regret it...
[15:25] ---
    Not finishing me off this turn!
[15:31] ---
    Now, engrave a new heroic epic!
[15:35] ---
    Grasp the world that I desire!
[15:38] ---
    Stride the Generation!
[15:47] ---
    Aerial Divine Knight, Altmile!
[15:50] ---
    Stride skill! Superior call!
[15:53] ---
    +5000 power!
[15:55] ---
    Aerial Divine Knight, Altmile's
    skill activated!
[15:58] ---
    All of my front-row units get +3000 power!
[16:02] ---
    I superior call Knight of Fragment!
[16:04] ---
    On top of that,
    I call Laurel Knight, Sicilus!
[16:10] ---
    He recovered again!
[16:12] ---
    Not bad.
[16:57] ---
    I'll get up again and again!
[16:59] ---
    Bow down before my sword!
[17:03] ---
    I attack your Vanguard!
[17:06] ---
    Altmile!
[17:08] ---
    Perfect guard.
[17:10] ---
    Triple drive!
[17:13] ---
    I got a critical trigger!
[17:16] ---
    I give +5000 power and the
    extra critical to Techgal!
[17:21] ---
    I got a stand trigger!
[17:23] ---
    I stand Knight of Fragment!
[17:29] ---
    Knight of Fragment!
[17:35] ---
    5 damage! And he still has Techgal's attack!
[17:38] ---
    Go, Shion!
[17:40] ---
    Pir boosts!
[17:44] ---
    I'm not going to hesitate again!
[17:57] ---
    No matter how many times I fall,
    I'm going to grasp it!
[18:03] ---
    This is everything I've got!
[18:06] ---
    I attack your Vanguard!
[18:12] ---
    Guard! And intercept!
[18:18] ---
    He blocked it.
[18:22] ---
    You showed me your imagination.
[18:25] ---
    But...
[18:27] ---
    Final Turn!
[18:32] ---
    Shed light on the vast land!
[18:34] ---
    Lightning frenzy that cleaves the darkness!
[18:38] ---
    Stride the Generation!
[18:48] ---
    Conquering Supreme Dragon,
    Dragonic Kaiser Warning!
[18:53] ---
    He brought out the big gun.
[18:57] ---
    Skill activated!
    I attack your entire front row!
[19:03] ---
    Perfect guard!
[19:06] ---
    Triple drive...
[19:08] ---
    I got a critical trigger.
[19:11] ---
    I give all of the effects
    to Dragonic Deathscythe.
[19:15] ---
    Critical trigger.
[19:16] ---
    What?!
[19:18] ---
    The same. I give all of the
    effects to Deathscythe.
[19:29] ---
    Crownholder Dragon's skill.
[19:32] ---
    It and Deathscythe receive +2000 power.
[19:35] ---
    Then Dragonic Kaiser Warning's skill.
[19:38] ---
    They receive +5000 power.
[19:41] ---
    One more time. +2000 power.
[19:45] ---
    And +5000 power.
[19:49] ---
    Now the total is 54000...
[19:52] ---
    He won't be able to guard against that!
[19:54] ---
    Oh no...
[19:56] ---
    Shion...
[20:02] ---
    This is Toshiki Kai?
[20:07] ---
    Shion Kiba...
[20:09] ---
    I'm willing to fight you anytime.
[20:15] ---
    No guard...
[21:09] ---
    Shion!
[21:13] ---
    I'm sorry I didn't win.
[21:17] ---
    What are you talkin' about?
    That was an awesome fight!
[21:20] ---
    You had Toshiki Kai on the ropes!
[21:23] ---
    But a loss is a loss.
[21:27] ---
    I still can't defeat Kai the way I am now.
[21:34] ---
    But I'm not giving up.
[23:17] ---
    Nice fight!
[23:19] ---
    How was it for you, Kai?
[23:21] ---
    Maybe a little too close for comfort?
[23:25] ---
    Shion Kiba may become a good fighter.
[23:29] ---
    Did he give you a decent challenge?
[23:32] ---
    He... No, they...
[23:38] ---
    ...may even surpass your expectations.
[23:43] ---
    It's your turn next.
[23:45] ---
    I know.
[23:58] ---
    His strength is like that
    of a god of thunder.
[24:02] ---
    I'm not good enough to beat him yet.
[24:04] ---
    Still, it was a good fight.
[24:06] ---
    It may have looked like that to you,
[24:08] ---
    but I keenly realized the gap between us.
[24:11] ---
    I see.
[24:12] ---
    But you don't intend to give up, do you?
[24:15] ---
    Of course not!
[24:16] ---
    All right, Chrono. You're up next!
[24:19] ---
    Yeah. Leave it to me!
