**[00:17] ---**
Hey, you're Chrono Shindou, right?
**[00:19] ---**
Y-Yeah.
***SIGN*** To Chrono Shindou
**[00:21] ---**
Here.
**[00:23] ---**
I was asked to give this to you.
**[00:26] ---**
Okay, that's done!
**[00:28] ---**
Quest complete!
**[00:30] ---**
Hey, who gave it to you?
**[02:09] ---**
Another new card?
**[02:11] ---**
Who sent it to you?
No idea this time, either?
**[02:15] ---**
Not a clue.
**[02:18] ---**
First it was in my cubbyhole at school.
***SIGN*** To Chrono Shindou
**[02:21] ---**
Next it was at Card Capital.
**[02:25] ---**
Who's giving me these? And why?
**[02:28] ---**
Well, whoever they are,
they're probably not a bad person.
***SIGN*** To Chrono Shindou
**[02:34] ---**
Weren't you going on a quest?
**[02:37] ---**
The one where all the grade 3s and lower
get together to see who's the toughest.
**[02:41] ---**
Put that new card in your deck,
rebuild the deck, and get going.
**[02:48] ---**
You're right.
**[02:51] ---**
Bye!
**[02:56] ---**
Gear Chronicle, huh?
***SIGN*** Turn 14 Takeru the Wanderer
***SIGN*** Vanguard National Tournament
***SIGN*** The Local Qualifiers are Beginning Soon!
**[03:05] Dialogue**
The Vanguard Fight National Tournament...
**[03:08] Dialogue**
Just two months left until
the local qualifiers, huh?
**[03:12] Dialogue**
Are you going to enter
the qualifiers, Tokoha?
**[03:15] Dialogue**
I'm not, no.
**[03:17] Dialogue**
Why not? You're strong!
**[03:19] Dialogue**
I like Vanguard, but tournaments
and stuff are a pain.
**[03:24] Dialogue**
You love fun events like that
more than anything,
**[03:28] Dialogue**
so I was sure you'd participate.
**[03:33] Dialogue**
This is more my brother's thing.
**[03:36] Dialogue**
Ah! That's right!
**[03:38] Dialogue**
Your brother's strong, right?
**[03:41] Dialogue**
Okay, let's go home.
**[03:42] Dialogue**
Yeah!
**[04:01] Dialogue**
I'm sorry, could you move?
**[04:04] Dialogue**
Huh?
**[04:05] Dialogue**
I'm training!
**[04:09] Dialogue**
Just up to that lamp post...
**[04:21] Dialogue**
Just a bit more...
**[04:34] Dialogue**
A-Are you okay?
**[04:48] Dialogue**
I'm hungry...
***SIGN*** Rice Balls
**[05:02] Dialogue**
Are you okay?
**[05:04] Dialogue**
Yeah. These are good.
**[05:06] Dialogue**
I could eat these things forever.
**[05:08] Dialogue**
Like this konbu...
**[05:16] Dialogue**
Thank you!
**[05:18] Dialogue**
I'm Takeru Baba. Call me Takeru!
**[05:21] Dialogue**
I'm Chrono Shindou.
**[05:23] Dialogue**
Chrono, huh?
**[05:25] Dialogue**
Why did you try to live on nothing
but water for three days?
**[05:28] Dialogue**
Training.
**[05:30] Dialogue**
Training?
**[05:31] Dialogue**
I'm traveling all over the
country to get stronger.
**[05:34] Dialogue**
Enduring hunger is part of my training.
**[05:38] Dialogue**
But then I collapsed from hunger! Pathetic!
**[05:42] Dialogue**
No, I think it's amazing that you can
walk around on just three fingers.
**[05:47] Dialogue**
No, that's not enough.
**[05:48] Dialogue**
There's no limit to strength.
**[05:49] Dialogue**
Once you rest on your laurels, it's over.
**[05:52] Dialogue**
If you stop going forward,
you can't get stronger!
**[05:55] Dialogue**
I'm going to be the strongest!
**[05:57] Dialogue**
I must be the strongest!
**[06:01] Dialogue**
It must be fate that we
were brought together.
**[06:04] Dialogue**
I know. Since you were nice enough
to help me, let me fight you!
**[06:09] Dialogue**
F-Fight you?
**[06:11] Dialogue**
Yes. Yes.
**[06:13] Dialogue**
I'll pass.
**[06:15] Dialogue**
Don't you want to be strong?!
**[06:17] Dialogue**
Not that much.
**[06:19] Dialogue**
I see.
**[06:20] Dialogue**
I thought you had the same smell
I did, but I was wrong.
**[06:25] ---**
Huh...
**[06:26] Dialogue**
Then let me thank you another way.
**[06:29] Dialogue**
Tell me something you want.
**[06:31] Dialogue**
I'll carry your stuff or play
hide and seek with you! Anything!
**[06:35] Dialogue**
No, I'm okay, really!
**[06:38] Dialogue**
You mustn't forget a good deed
that's been done for you!
**[06:40] Dialogue**
You must return a kindness you've been given!
**[06:42] Dialogue**
Okay! I can't leave your side
until I've repaid you.
**[06:46] Dialogue**
That's who Takeru Baba is!
**[06:48] Dialogue**
Come on, Chrono!
**[06:50] Dialogue**
No, I'm really okay.
**[06:52] Dialogue**
I'm in a hurry.
**[06:55] Dialogue**
I'll wait, then.
**[06:56] Dialogue**
You don't have to.
**[06:58] Dialogue**
Don't worry about me.
Waiting is training, too!
**[07:01] Dialogue**
I said it's okay.
**[07:03] Dialogue**
That won't do!
**[07:11] Dialogue**
Chrono!
**[07:12] Dialogue**
He's fast!
**[07:18] Dialogue**
Chrono! Where are you?
Chrono!
**[07:22] Dialogue**
Okay, I'll lose him!
**[07:31] Dialogue**
This should be far enough.
**[07:32] Dialogue**
I found you!
**[07:36] Dialogue**
Chrono!
**[07:41] Dialogue**
Chrono!
**[07:43] Dialogue**
What's with this guy?
**[07:55] Dialogue**
Chrono!
**[07:58] Dialogue**
He can't jump that far...
**[08:13] Dialogue**
I've traveled the whole country
in my training. You can't escape me!
**[08:19] Dialogue**
I'll repay any kindness I've been...
**[08:29] Dialogue**
I'm hungry...
**[08:43] Dialogue**
Good, you're awake.
**[08:46] Dialogue**
Chrono?
**[08:50] Dialogue**
You've saved me not once, but twice.
**[08:52] Dialogue**
I'm so grateful!
**[08:58] Dialogue**
By the way, where are we?
**[09:01] Dialogue**
A card shop.
**[09:02] Dialogue**
There's a quest here,
and I happened to be close.
**[09:05] Dialogue**
Wow!
**[09:08] Dialogue**
That's amazing.
**[09:14] Dialogue**
The fight's already begun.
**[09:18] Dialogue**
They're getting so excited...
I wonder who's playing?
**[09:25] Dialogue**
Shion.
**[09:28] Dialogue**
Blue Sky Knight, Altmile!
**[09:30] Dialogue**
My pride is like the azure skies!
**[09:33] Dialogue**
Sky Noble Thrust!
**[09:40] Dialogue**
I lose.
**[09:43] Dialogue**
Now play me!
**[09:44] Dialogue**
No, me!
**[09:45] Dialogue**
Play me!
**[09:46] Dialogue**
Attack!
**[09:49] Dialogue**
Attack!
**[09:54] Dialogue**
Shion...
**[09:55] Dialogue**
Play me once more!
**[09:57] Dialogue**
No, me!
**[09:58] Dialogue**
Play me!
**[10:14] Dialogue**
He's totally different from last time.
**[10:16] Dialogue**
I guess I'm not the only one
who's gotten stronger.
**[10:20] Dialogue**
Shion has, too.
**[10:24] Dialogue**
Shion Kiba, huh?
**[10:26] Dialogue**
You know him?
**[10:27] Dialogue**
I've fought him.
**[10:29] Dialogue**
You're a Vanguard Fighter, Takeru?
**[10:33] Dialogue**
That's right.
**[10:34] Dialogue**
That's why I challenged you.
**[10:37] Dialogue**
I didn't think you'd get so upset.
**[10:39] Dialogue**
Sorry.
**[10:40] Dialogue**
I thought you meant fists, like this.
**[10:47] Dialogue**
I ride Blue Sky Knight, Altmile!
**[10:52] Dialogue**
Shion's stronger than he used to be.
**[10:56] Dialogue**
Draw!
**[11:01] Dialogue**
Interesting.
**[11:03] Dialogue**
He's thinking about somebody.
**[11:07] Dialogue**
He's known for his cool,
collected fighting style.
**[11:10] Dialogue**
But his hands are full of power
when he puts his cards down.
**[11:18] Dialogue**
I see.
**[11:20] Dialogue**
So it seems he's had a new encounter, too.
**[11:23] Dialogue**
An encounter that means enough to him
that his heart's been strongly affected by it.
**[11:31] Dialogue**
An encounter...
**[11:33] Dialogue**
A meaning...
**[11:35] Dialogue**
There is no encounter without meaning.
**[11:39] Dialogue**
I've encountered many people on my journey,
**[11:41] Dialogue**
and all those meetings meant something.
**[11:46] Dialogue**
Takeru, fight me.
**[11:50] Dialogue**
I accept!
**[12:13] Dialogue**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[12:18] Dialogue**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[12:22] Dialogue**
Gunner Gear Dracokid!
**[12:25] Dialogue**
Ambush Dragon Eradicator, Linchu!
**[12:59] Dialogue**
It's my brother who's amazing.
**[13:05] Dialogue**
Ride! Masergear dragon!
**[13:09] Dialogue**
I ride Assault Eradicator, Saikei!
**[13:18] Dialogue**
Attack!
**[13:19] Dialogue**
Smokegear Dragon!
**[13:23] Dialogue**
Ride!
**[13:24] Dialogue**
Two-sword Eradicator, Koenshak!
**[13:26] Dialogue**
Attack!
**[13:37] Dialogue**
It looks like something's
starting over there.
**[13:40] Dialogue**
If you're not going to play him,
I'll take your turn.
**[13:42] Dialogue**
Me, too!
**[13:43] Dialogue**
No, I'll play!
**[13:51] Dialogue**
Attack!
**[13:53] Dialogue**
Lead me to the future!
**[13:54] Dialogue**
Open a new world!
**[13:56] Dialogue**
Ride!
**[13:58] Dialogue**
Chronojet Dragon!
**[14:01] Dialogue**
Race forward and unleash
your fists of spacetime!
**[14:05] Dialogue**
Gale Soul Attack!
**[14:13] Dialogue**
Not bad, Chrono!
**[14:15] Dialogue**
But now it's my turn!
**[14:19] Dialogue**
Blow, wind! Roar, thunder!
**[14:22] Dialogue**
Come, storm!
**[14:24] Dialogue**
Ride! Tempest Bolt Dragon!
**[14:29] Dialogue**
Tempest Bolt Dragon?!
**[14:38] Dialogue**
Generation Zone... release!
**[14:53] Dialogue**
An instant's meeting becomes a miracle!
**[14:58] Dialogue**
Stride Generation!
**[15:09] Dialogue**
Conquering Supreme Dragon, Conquest Dragon!
**[15:13] Dialogue**
Conquest Dragon?
**[15:15] Dialogue**
So this is Takeru's G-Unit?
**[15:17] Dialogue**
Roar, wind!
**[15:19] Dialogue**
Rain down, fierce, noble thunder!
**[15:22] Dialogue**
Volcano Bolt Voltage!
**[15:36] Dialogue**
He's strong!
**[15:38] Dialogue**
So this is Takeru Baba's power...
**[15:41] Dialogue**
But I can play, too!
**[15:44] Dialogue**
Generation Zone... release!
**[16:00] Dialogue**
Let the world I truly desire manifest itself!
**[16:04] Dialogue**
Stride Generation!
**[16:21] Dialogue**
Interdimensional Dragon, Mystery-flare Dragon!
**[16:28] Dialogue**
Power of time hidden within, release thyself!
**[16:32] Dialogue**
Burst Flare Explosion!
**[16:41] Dialogue**
Guard!
**[16:44] Dialogue**
I learned to be tough from the
fighters in the far north!
**[16:51] Dialogue**
Intercept!
**[16:52] Dialogue**
I learned to be adaptable from the
fighters on the southern islands!
**[17:11] Dialogue**
The experience I've gained from
my encounters lives within me!
**[17:17] Dialogue**
Hey, the fight next to us is amazing!
**[17:20] Dialogue**
Yeah!
**[17:30] Dialogue**
My encounter with you...
**[17:34] Dialogue**
If I'd said my thanks and left,
that would've been it.
**[17:38] Dialogue**
But if I fight you, I gain experience.
**[17:42] Dialogue**
That gives the encounter meaning.
**[17:45] Dialogue**
Gives it meaning...
**[17:50] Dialogue**
You may never see the people
you meet on your journey again.
**[17:55] Dialogue**
That's why I treasure my encounters.
**[17:57] Dialogue**
And to make sure that this
encounter has meaning,
**[18:00] Dialogue**
I'm going to give this moment
all I've got!
**[18:04] Dialogue**
Stride Generation!
**[18:11] Dialogue**
Turn your encounters into your strength!
**[18:14] Dialogue**
Skill activated!
**[18:16] Dialogue**
Conquest Dragon!
**[18:19] Dialogue**
I retire Amber!
**[18:23] Dialogue**
And power up the units in my front row!
**[18:26] Dialogue**
He made his rear-guards retire!
**[18:28] Dialogue**
And then he powered them up?
**[18:30] Dialogue**
Wow!
**[18:32] Dialogue**
This is the lightning of the Narukami!
**[18:36] Dialogue**
Quick as thunder! Fast as the wind!
**[18:38] Dialogue**
A single violent blast of light!
**[18:40] Dialogue**
One, two, thunder!
**[18:48] Dialogue**
It's up to me whether my encounters
with you have meaning.
**[18:54] Dialogue**
Perfect guard with Arlim!
**[19:14] Dialogue**
I don't know who set it up,
**[19:17] Dialogue**
but we met each other.
**[19:19] Dialogue**
I want to fight a lot of different people.
**[19:22] Dialogue**
And I'll do it with you guys!
**[19:24] Dialogue**
That's the meaning behind our meeting!
**[19:29] Dialogue**
Gear Chronicle!
**[19:31] Dialogue**
We'll both feel the world
that you're leading me to!
**[19:38] Dialogue**
Interdimensional Dragon, Faterider Dragon!
**[19:42] Dialogue**
Faterider Dragon?
**[19:45] Dialogue**
A second G-Unit?
**[19:47] Dialogue**
Let the wheels of fate spin!
**[19:50] Dialogue**
If anybody stands in your way,
blow them apart!
**[19:53] Dialogue**
Solid Strike Breakthrough!
**[20:08] Dialogue**
Faterider!
**[20:28] Dialogue**
I lost!
**[20:30] Dialogue**
But it was a good fight!
**[20:35] Dialogue**
Wow, what a fight!
**[20:37] Dialogue**
We got excited just watching it!
**[20:39] Dialogue**
We sure did.
**[20:43] Dialogue**
If you stand in my way
**[20:46] Dialogue**
and stop me from reaching
the pinnacle of strength,
**[20:49] Dialogue**
I'll just have to defeat you.
**[20:52] Dialogue**
This was the best encounter I could've had.
**[20:55] Dialogue**
I want to fight you again.
**[20:58] Dialogue**
I don't meet too many people I can share things
with so passionately during our fights!
**[21:03] Dialogue**
We shared things during our fight...
**[21:05] Dialogue**
I'm sure you'll meet someone like that.
**[21:09] Dialogue**
No, maybe you already have.
**[21:14] Dialogue**
Next time we meet, I'll be stronger.
**[21:17] Dialogue**
Me, too!
**[21:19] Dialogue**
Let's meet in the local qualifiers
for the Vanguard National Tournament!
**[21:22] Dialogue**
You're going to be there, right?
**[21:24] Dialogue**
Yeah.
**[21:25] Dialogue**
I'll get to grade 3 and make sure I do!
**[21:27] Dialogue**
Thanks to you,
I really feel like I can do it!
**[21:30] Dialogue**
To me?
**[21:31] Dialogue**
Because now I want to meet
strong fighters like you!
**[21:36] Dialogue**
I see.
**[21:39] Dialogue**
Along with you guys...
**[21:42] Dialogue**
You and Gear Chronicle make a great pair.
**[21:46] Dialogue**
A pair?
**[21:49] Dialogue**
Anyway, I've never seen that clan before.
**[21:53] Dialogue**
I've traveled all around the country,
so I thought I'd fought all the clans.
**[21:59] Dialogue**
Gear Chronicle...
**[22:01] Dialogue**
It's a clan that nobody has but me.
**[22:03] Dialogue**
There is no encounter without meaning.
**[22:07] Dialogue**
Perhaps it's fate.
**[22:10] Dialogue**
I'll become strong, along with you guys!
**[23:56] Dialogue**
Jeez, today was exhausting.
**[23:58] Dialogue**
What's wrong, Chrono?
**[23:59] Dialogue**
I met a fighter named Takeru Baba today.
**[24:03] Dialogue**
He was pretty weird.
**[24:04] Dialogue**
Oh? How so?
**[24:06] Dialogue**
He was walking around town on his hands,
**[24:08] Dialogue**
and then he collapsed when he got hungry.
**[24:10] Dialogue**
And he was following me around.
**[24:12] Dialogue**
He's a good guy, but it was a lot of trouble.
**[24:15] Dialogue**
That sounds like a guy from a
comic book. He can't be real.
**[24:18] Dialogue**
No, he was, really.
***SIGN*** The Masked Ghost
**[24:21] Dialogue**
Chrono!
