**[00:02] ---**
It seems Chrono awoke the second Depend Card.
**[00:07] ---**
And he wants to thwart
Ryuzu Myoujin's ambition.
**[00:12] ---**
Did Chrono say that after
learning about Rive's accident?
**[00:17] ---**
Why?
**[00:19] ---**
Confronting him without
knowing would be dangerous...
**[00:22] ---**
The connection between
Chrono and Ryuzu Myoujin...
**[00:27] ---**
...is too deep!
**[02:13] ---**
The winner of the shop tournament...
**[02:15] ---**
...is Chrono Shindou!
**[02:17] ---**
Congratulations!
**[02:20] ---**
Congrats!
**[02:25] ---**
That was fun. Vanguard really is great.
**[02:31] ---**
Ryuzu Myoujin...
**[02:33] ---**
His aim is to summon units
from the planet Cray
**[02:37] ---**
to use as instruments of his ambition.
**[02:41] ---**
The units that he calls will be
stripped of their free will
**[02:44] ---**
and made into his puppets.
**[02:47] ---**
If that power is unleashed in the world,
imagine the chaos it would wreak.
**[02:54] ---**
I won't let it happen!
**[02:57] ---**
I'll stop Myoujin!
**[03:01] ---**
I won't let any of you guys suffer.
**[03:05] ---**
And for that sake, I've gotta
awaken the last Depend Card, fast!
**[03:12] ---**
Because originally,
your father left them for you.
**[03:19] ---**
Do you have the strength
to follow in his footsteps?
**[03:25] ---**
Follow in Dad's footsteps...
**[03:29] ---**
How should I know anything about that?!
He's never been around.
**[03:35] ---**
Do you want to know...
**[03:37] ---**
...about your father?
**[03:42] ---**
Shin...
**[03:44] ---**
Actually, your father, Rive Shindou, and I
were on the same team a long time ago.
**[03:50] ---**
My dad and you?!
**[03:52] ---**
We even fought world-class fighters.
**[03:55] ---**
Rive was the team ace, in raw
ability and on a spiritual level.
**[04:02] ---**
Rive was my Vanguard mentor,
competitive rival,
**[04:09] ---**
and the friend I could
talk to about anything.
**[04:13] ---**
Why are you telling me all of this now?
**[04:21] ---**
From the very first time I met you,
I knew you were Rive's son, Chrono.
**[04:28] ---**
But I thought there was no need
to dredge up the sad past for you.
**[04:36] ---**
Um, Shin...
**[04:38] ---**
These...
**[04:40] ---**
Apparently my dad left them for me,
but do you know anything about it?
**[04:45] ---**
Like, did he ever tell you anything
about them back in the day?
**[04:51] ---**
No. Unfortunately, he never
said a thing about them.
**[04:54] ---**
I see...
**[04:57] ---**
By the way, I heard that you want
to stop Ryuzu Myoujin's plans.
**[05:02] ---**
How did you...?
**[05:08] ---**
I've only heard about it recently.
**[05:11] ---**
But are you prepared for a
showdown with Myoujin, Chrono?
**[05:15] ---**
Of course!
**[05:17] ---**
Why?
**[05:20] ---**
Myoujin is tryin' to summon
Vanguard units to our world
**[05:23] ---**
to mess everything up!
**[05:27] ---**
I can't just stand by and do nothin'!
**[05:30] ---**
I see.
**[05:34] ---**
Can you...
**[05:40] ---**
...swear that, even in front of this person?
**[05:48] ---**
Mikuru...
***SIGN*** Turn 15 Mikuru Shindou
**[05:57] ---**
I called her here.
**[06:00] [SONG] ---**
To: Mikuru
Please come over now.
**[06:02] ---**
Because you're family,
more important than anyone to her.
**[06:08] ---**
Chrono...
**[06:10] ---**
I strongly oppose...
**[06:12] ---**
...you getting involved with my brother's...
your father's... accident.
**[06:16] ---**
I don't want you to be
exposed to danger, too.
**[06:18] ---**
Danger?
**[06:20] ---**
If you engage Myoujin,
Rive's fate may befall you, too.
**[06:26] ---**
I'll die...
**[06:38] ---**
He's serious.
**[06:43] ---**
I went to the orphanage after my dad died,
**[06:46] ---**
but she always visited me there.
**[06:51] ---**
She started her own company while still
a college student, forgoing sleep,
**[06:55] ---**
working hard...
**[06:59] ---**
I'm running late!
**[06:59] ---**
Mikuru took me in.
I can't make her worry about me.
**[07:08] ---**
But...
**[07:12] ---**
I'll ask you again. Even so, are you still
prepared to confront Myoujin?
**[07:18] ---**
But... somebody's gotta stop him!
**[07:32] ---**
If you're that insistent, Chrono,
show me how prepared you are!
**[07:44] ---**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[07:46] ---**
Chrono Dran!
**[07:49] ---**
Chain Sickle Stealth Rogue, Onifundo!
**[08:01] ---**
Attack!
**[08:06] ---**
Chrono...
**[08:09] ---**
You might as well say it yourself.
Three Chronojet units are out.
**[08:13] ---**
I'm guessing the remaining one
isn't in your hand.
**[08:20] ---**
You didn't draw a Chronojet.
**[08:24] ---**
Doesn't this development
show how uncertain you are?
**[08:31] ---**
I ride Reform-calling Gear Eagle!
**[08:37] ---**
You said if I get involved with Myoujin,
Dad's fate may befall me.
**[08:43] ---**
But how would you know that?
**[08:45] ---**
Chrono, you know Rive died
in an accident, right?
**[08:50] ---**
Yes.
**[08:51] ---**
Someone was with Rive
when he had the accident.
**[08:56] ---**
Don't tell me...
**[09:00] ---**
It was Ryuzu Myoujin.
**[09:07] ---**
Myoujin was there when
Dad had his accident...
**[09:22] ---**
Ryuzu Myoujin was with Rive
when he had the accident.
**[09:29] ---**
Myoujin was there when
Dad had his accident...
**[09:33] ---**
Rive died in the accident.
**[09:36] ---**
But only Myoujin knows
what really happened then.
**[09:41] ---**
If Myoujin is someone who
wouldn't hesitate to dispose of
**[09:46] ---**
anyone who opposes him,
then it's no stretch to think...
**[09:50] ---**
...that you could be in danger, Chrono.
**[09:54] ---**
And it's not just you, Chrono.
**[09:58] ---**
Y-You don't mean... Mikuru, too?!
**[10:04] ---**
I was asking whether you are prepared,
**[10:09] ---**
even after considering that possibility!
**[10:14] ---**
Guard!
**[10:18] ---**
She always embraced me with a warm hug.
**[10:21] ---**
Mikuru...
**[10:23] ---**
I can't let her be exposed to danger!
**[10:32] ---**
Perfect guard.
**[10:37] ---**
Vanguard's changed me.
**[10:43] ---**
I've met so many people through it,
made so many invaluable friends...
**[10:54] ---**
Mikuru's watched over me.
**[11:03] ---**
Vanguard's guided me.
**[11:07] ---**
How can I choose one?
**[11:14] ---**
Chrono...
**[11:16] ---**
Stride Generation!
**[11:21] ---**
Come, Ambush Demon Stealth Dragon,
Homura Raider!
**[11:28] ---**
Take a good look at its power!
**[11:31] ---**
Homura Raider's skill!
**[11:34] ---**
In exchange for a reduction to twin drive, it acquires a skill!
**[11:39] ---**
Attack!
**[11:41] ---**
Twin drive.
**[11:46] ---**
Double critical trigger.
**[11:48] ---**
I give the effects to Homura Raider!
**[11:54] ---**
Shake off hidden emotional attachments...
**[11:57] ---**
...and open up an ideal world!
**[12:06] ---**
5 damage. But I'm not done yet.
**[12:10] ---**
I activate the skill I acquired before.
**[12:14] ---**
Rise again, Homura Raider!
**[12:18] ---**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[12:22] ---**
Perfect guard!
**[12:27] ---**
Turn end.
**[12:44] ---**
What should I do?
**[12:47] ---**
I don't want to see you like this.
**[12:50] ---**
Mikuru?
**[12:52] ---**
I love the Chrono who plays Vanguard!
**[12:55] ---**
That's why I want to let you
do as you please!
**[12:59] ---**
But I'm worried about you.
**[13:02] ---**
I've had enough of people who were dear
to me passing away suddenly.
**[13:06] ---**
I don't want you to get involved.
**[13:10] ---**
But...
**[13:11] ---**
...I don't want to see you playing your beloved Vanguard
with such a look of pain on your face.
**[13:18] ---**
I'm torn... Torn between two feelings...
**[13:22] ---**
That's why I want to ask you!
**[13:25] ---**
I want to know how you really feel.
**[13:31] ---**
How I... really feel...
**[13:44] ---**
Stop it!
**[13:53] ---**
Oh, no, you don't...
**[13:55] ---**
I won't let that happen to you guys!
**[14:01] ---**
You're my friends, too.
**[14:06] ---**
I swear...
**[14:08] ---**
...I'll...
**[14:21] ---**
Mikuru...
**[14:26] ---**
Don't!
**[14:29] ---**
No good. I don't want to make Mikuru sad.
**[14:33] ---**
But if it hadn't been for Vanguard,
I never would've been able to face Mikuru.
**[14:39] ---**
Turning my back on you guys is the same
as turning my back on Mikuru!
**[14:57] ---**
I can't take one over the other.
**[15:01] ---**
So I'll protect both!
**[15:05] ---**
My family and Vanguard!
**[15:12] ---**
Stand and draw!
**[15:14] ---**
Now, show me the world that I truly desire!
**[15:18] ---**
Stride Generation!
**[15:24] ---**
Interdimensional Dragon...
**[15:27] ---**
...Chronoscommand Revolution!
**[15:32] ---**
Revolution's skill!
**[15:34] ---**
I send all your rear-guards
to the bottom of the deck!
**[15:37] ---**
Losing everything heralds a new beginning!
**[15:42] ---**
On top of that, Stride Skill!
**[15:44] ---**
I put Clockfencer Dragon
at the bottom of the deck,
**[15:47] ---**
and from the deck...
**[15:49] ---**
...I look at ten cards
and put two in my hand.
**[15:52] ---**
Then I shuffle the deck.
**[15:55] ---**
I call two Reform-calling Gear Eagle units...
**[15:59] ---**
...and Steam Maiden, Melem!
**[16:07] ---**
Abandoning neither one,
but protecting both...
**[16:10] ---**
Do you really think it can work out
so conveniently for you?!
**[16:14] ---**
It's not whether it can.
**[16:16] ---**
I'm gonna do it!
**[16:19] ---**
I realized it.
**[16:22] ---**
You're a mirror that reflects my own heart
**[16:25] ---**
because you're my alter ego.
**[16:31] ---**
That's right.
**[16:34] ---**
Vanguard... is me!
**[16:41] ---**
Attack!
**[16:43] ---**
Chronoscommand Revolution!
**[16:55] ---**
Guard!
**[16:56] ---**
30000 guard. 41000 total.
**[17:01] ---**
I have two 10000 cards in my hand.
**[17:05] ---**
Chrono has only one chance to win.
**[17:08] ---**
With a triple trigger...
**[17:12] ---**
Then show me...
**[17:15] ---**
...just how resolved you are!
**[17:23] ---**
Triple drive...
**[17:29] ---**
Critical trigger.
**[17:31] ---**
I give the +5000 power
and extra critical to Revolution.
**[17:36] ---**
But of course you do.
**[17:40] ---**
Chrono...
**[17:41] ---**
Second check!
**[17:45] ---**
Critical trigger.
**[17:49] ---**
Double!
**[17:50] ---**
I give all of the effects to Revolution!
**[18:02] ---**
This is...
**[18:05] ---**
...my future.
**[18:14] ---**
Third check!
**[18:31] ---**
Critical trigger!
**[18:35] ---**
Triple!
**[18:38] ---**
I give this to Revolution, too.
**[18:40] ---**
Surpass it! Arrive at the future
I truly desire!
**[18:46] ---**
Explosive Advancing Sublimation!
**[18:54] ---**
This is our...
**[18:59] ---**
...soul!
**[19:12] ---**
This is Chrono's...
**[19:36] ---**
You showed me, Chrono.
**[20:03] ---**
Take the path that you believe in, Chrono.
**[20:09] ---**
Thank you, Mikuru!
**[20:15] ---**
I'm sure my big brother
would've said the same thing.
**[20:21] ---**
"Vanguard is me"?
**[20:26] ---**
Then I, too...
**[20:29] ---**
...have to be prepared to protect them.
**[20:38] ---**
He has definitely inherited
your will, Master Rive.
**[20:49] ---**
If anything ever comes up,
you can leave Mikuru to me.
**[20:53] ---**
I promise I'll protect her.
**[20:55] ---**
I'll count on it.
**[20:57] ---**
What's up?
**[20:59] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[21:02] ---**
I don't know what my brother
was thinking about, either.
**[21:08] ---**
He didn't often talk about work at home.
**[21:14] ---**
I've made a decision.
**[21:17] ---**
I don't know what Dad had in mind
when he left these for me,
**[21:22] ---**
but I'm gonna use it to protect
my family and Vanguard.
**[21:27] ---**
That's a good idea.
**[21:29] ---**
Since right now, you're the one
who possesses that card.
**[23:18] ---**
Even now, after hearing how resolved
Chrono is, I'm strongly against it.
**[23:24] ---**
But...
**[23:27] ---**
...if that's what Chrono has decided,
I won't stop him.
**[23:30] ---**
I can't stop him.
**[23:33] ---**
Because for that boy, Vanguard has
become irreplaceable in every respect.
**[23:47] ---**
I blame you, Bro.
**[23:55] ---**
Today I just had to confirm
how resolved you are.
**[24:00] ---**
Because of you, Shin,
I made an important decision.
**[24:04] ---**
Thank you.
**[24:05] ---**
No matter what happens, I'm on your side.
**[24:08] ---**
You can always depend on me.
**[24:11] ---**
I may not always be up to it, though...
**[24:13] ---**
Aw, I wouldn't say that.
**[24:14] ---**
I'm going to keep counting on you.
**[24:17] ---**
By the way, do you have a thing for Mikuru?
***SIGN*** Vanguard Girl's Meet
**[24:20] ---**
Uh, hey, wh-what are you talking about,
Chrono?! C-Come on now!
