[00:05] ---
    6 damage?!
[00:08] ---
    I win.
[00:11] ---
    Per the promise, I get to keep...
[00:14] ---
    ...your avatar.
[02:01] ---
    Are you nervous, Young Master?
[02:04] ---
    Yes, since I'm going to
    this party on Dad's behalf.
[02:08] ---
    But no worries.
[02:09] ---
    As a Kiba, I'll do a good job.
SIGN    Turn 15 The Masked Ghost
[02:28] ---
    Well, Shion. Thank you for coming.
[02:32] ---
    Thank you for inviting me.
[02:34] ---
    My father gives his best regards.
[02:36] ---
    Oh, don't worry about the stiff formalities.
[02:39] ---
    I want you to have fun at the party. Come on.
[02:43] ---
    Who is he?
[02:45] ---
    Look, that's the Kiba son.
[02:49] ---
    He's a Kiba?
[02:51] ---
    Long time no see, Shion!
[02:53] ---
    Yuya?
[02:54] ---
    You're here, too?
[02:57] ---
    Yes. My father had pressing business,
[03:00] ---
    so I'm here in his stead to
    represent the Karasumori family.
[03:03] ---
    The Kiba family and the Karasumori family.
[03:06] ---
    The sons of two famous families
    grace our presence.
[03:09] ---
    What a fine night this will be, indeed.
[03:14] ---
    Still, I didn't expect to see you here.
[03:18] ---
    I haven't seen you since
    you switched schools.
[03:20] ---
    Do you like your new school?
[03:22] ---
    Yeah, it's fun.
[03:25] ---
    Fun, huh?
[03:27] ---
    Still, all that trouble to go to
    a school with ordinary people.
[03:32] ---
    I can't imagine doing that.
[03:34] ---
    Does the school even have someone...
[03:37] ---
    ...who's your equal?
[03:43] ---
    You haven't lost it.
[03:45] ---
    But I was just a little bit faster.
[03:49] ---
    It would be good to remember this.
[03:52] ---
    "Water seeks its own level."
[03:54] ---
    Also, "People gravitate towards
    the easy way out."
[04:00] ---
    I'd be careful if I were you.
[04:04] ---
    Hey, have you heard?
[04:05] ---
    About the Masked Ghost!
[04:08] ---
    I know about him!
[04:10] ---
    He's like, "I'll take your avatar," right?
[04:13] ---
    Scary!
[04:15] ---
    The Masked Ghost?
[04:17] ---
    Shion...
[04:19] ---
    You haven't heard about him?
[04:21] ---
    All the elementary school kids
    are talking about him.
[04:23] ---
    The word is, if he beats you in a fight,
    he'll take one of your precious cards.
[04:27] ---
    Although it's just a new urban legend.
[04:30] ---
    After the Yeti Fighter,
[04:32] ---
    the Vanguard Bathroom Ghost...
[04:34] ---
    There was also the Slit-mouth Fighter, right?
[04:37] ---
    Yeah, I remember that one!
    This brings back memories!
[04:47] ---
    Sorry! Are you okay?
[04:52] ---
    You're...
[04:53] ---
    From now on, I'm not gonna
    give up either, but do my best!
[04:57] ---
    Ryota!
    Shion!
[05:00] ---
    I'm so happy I got to see you again!
[05:04] ---
    Yeah, me too.
[05:05] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[05:07] ---
    I want you to train me!
[05:09] ---
    Train?
[05:11] ---
    Why, all of a sudden?
[05:12] ---
    I wanna be strong!
[05:14] ---
    There's somebody I wanna beat,
    but I need to be strong first!
[05:17] ---
    Somebody you want to beat? Who is it?
[05:22] ---
    The Masked Ghost!
[05:24] ---
    Masked...
[05:34] ---
    You're late, Shion.
[05:39] ---
    What's Yuya Karasumori doing at our club?
[05:43] ---
    I hear he wants to practice with Shion.
[05:46] ---
    He just showed up.
[05:49] ---
    Etes-vous prets?
[05:50] ---
    Oui!
[05:52] ---
    Allez!
[05:58] ---
    Wow! He and Shion are perfectly matched!
[06:01] ---
    And he's fast! They don't call him
    the Speed King for nothing!
[06:04] ---
    But Shion's no slouch himself!
[06:06] ---
    There's a reason he's called
    the Prince of Combo Attacks!
[06:16] ---
    Boy, I haven't worked up a good
    sweat like this in a while.
[06:19] ---
    Yeah. As always,
     you have excellent footwork.
[06:23] ---
    It took everything I had
    to keep up with you.
[06:24] ---
    Knock it off.
[06:26] ---
    By the way, are you still
    playing that card game?
[06:30] ---
    You mean Vanguard?
[06:32] ---
    Judging by present circumstances, you are.
[06:35] ---
    If it were me, I'd devote
    that time to fencing instead.
[06:41] ---
    I can't understand you.
[06:44] ---
    You change schools,
    get into some card game...
[06:48] ---
    Why would a person of quality
    like you do that?
[06:52] ---
    Yuya...
[06:55] ---
    It's arrogant to think
    your own values are absolute.
[07:00] ---
    I've thought this for a while now.
[07:02] ---
    You and I live in the same world,
[07:06] ---
    but it seems the world we see
    is totally different.
[07:14] ---
    What does that mean?
[07:17] ---
    Shion!
[07:19] ---
    Coach.
[07:20] ---
    I just got a call from
    the Fencing Association.
[07:23] ---
    Your name came up as a candidate
    for training to be a professional.
[07:27] ---
    Really?!
[07:28] ---
    Yeah! Someone's coming over here to
    observe you in the next few days.
[07:31] ---
    Isn't that great news, Shion?
[07:33] ---
    Yes!
[07:35] ---
    Wow!
[07:37] ---
    That's amazing!
[07:38] ---
    Amazing, right?
[07:39] ---
    Do your best!
[07:41] ---
    Oh, professional training?
[07:44] ---
    Congratulations, Young Master.
[07:46] ---
    I'm still just a candidate.
[07:49] ---
    The world is starting to
    come into focus for you.
[07:52] ---
    First you'll dominate the youth category
    and eventually, the Olympics.
[07:55] ---
    You're putting the cart
    before the horse, Iwakura.
[07:58] ---
    Although I have a goal, of course.
[08:04] ---
    It's from Ryota.
[08:05] ---
    Hello?
[08:06] ---
    Shion?
[08:08] ---
    Word is that the Ghost has appeared.
[08:12] ---
    I've got an address for the area
    where he was sighted.
[08:22] ---
    Young Master!
[08:23] ---
    It's okay! Wait here!
[08:35] ---
    I'm right here.
[08:46] ---
    Wait!
[09:16] ---
    He got away?!
[09:18] ---
    Sorry.
[09:19] ---
    After you told me exactly where he was...
[09:22] ---
    That's too bad.
[09:24] ---
    But this info might come in handy.
[09:26] ---
    My friend remembered it.
[09:29] ---
    Before standing up, the Masked Ghost
    said something weird.
[09:32] ---
    Something weird?
[09:34] ---
    Yeah. "Edogawa Ward."
[09:37] ---
    Edogawa Ward!
[09:40] ---
    Sorry.
[09:41] ---
    You told me twice, but I don't know
    what it refers to.
[09:45] ---
    Me neither...
[09:47] ---
    Well, I'd better get going.
[09:51] ---
    You're leaving?
[09:52] ---
    Yeah.
[09:54] ---
    I have something important to do today.
[09:56] ---
    Is it more important than Vanguard?
[09:58] ---
    W-Well...
[10:01] ---
    Maybe about the same.
[10:02] ---
    The same, huh? Then I guess
    you have no choice.
[10:06] ---
    Sorry.
[10:07] ---
    It's okay. See you.
[10:16] ---
    Oh, Shion. We've been waiting for you.
[10:20] ---
    This is Mr. Fushimi from the Association.
[10:22] ---
    It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Shion Kiba.
[10:25] ---
    We have high hopes for you.
[10:27] ---
    That being said,
    there's no need to be nervous.
[10:31] ---
    Just show me how you usually practice.
[10:33] ---
    Sure.
[10:38] ---
    Well, shall we begin?
[10:41] ---
    Etes-vous prets?
[10:44] ---
    Edogawa Ward?
[10:46] ---
    En garde!
[10:47] ---
    Etes-vous prets?
[10:50] ---
    Is that...
[10:52] ---
    "Edogawa Ward."
[10:54] ---
    Edogawa Ward!
[10:55] ---
    Don't tell me...
[11:06] ---
    ...the Masked Ghost is really...
[11:14] ---
    It's...
[11:15] [SONG] ---
    I'm Ryota's friend.
    Please help him, Shion.
     Ryota went to meet
    the Ghost by himself.
    This is the place.
[11:16] ---
    Ryota's in danger!
[11:20] ---
    Hey!
[11:21] ---
    Where are you going?! Hey, Shion!
[11:26] ---
    6 damage.
[11:29] ---
    I win.
[11:31] ---
    Per the promise, I get to keep...
[11:34] ---
    ...your avatar.
[11:41] ---
    Awful!
[11:43] ---
    This is your avatar?!
[11:45] ---
    Pathetic!
[11:47] ---
    This card has no value.
[11:50] ---
    It's just like you.
[11:53] ---
    There's no point in keeping it.
[11:56] ---
    How cruel!
[11:57] ---
    If you want it back,
    get on your knees before me.
[12:02] ---
    My Wild Rush Dragon!
[12:07] ---
    Ryota!
[12:09] ---
    Shion!
[12:14] ---
    Ghost! I won't forgive you for this!
[12:19] ---
    Oh, it's you.
[12:20] ---
    I had a lot of fun the other night.
[12:22] ---
    Fight me, Ghost!
[12:24] ---
    And if I win, you have to
    return all the cards you took!
[12:28] ---
    That's a mighty tall order.
[12:32] ---
    Even though if I win, I only get
    to keep a single card of yours.
[12:37] ---
    But if I lose, all the cards...
[12:40] ---
    I've got it. How's this?
[12:43] ---
    I've taken 12 cards so far.
[12:47] ---
    So for this match, you have to
    remove 12 triggers from your deck.
[12:52] ---
    What do you say?
[12:54] ---
    That's not fair!
[12:56] ---
    That would only leave him with four triggers!
[12:59] ---
    And if he wins, he takes back 12 cards.
[13:03] ---
    I would say the risk is
    commensurate with the reward.
[13:06] ---
    So, what are you going to do?
[13:07] ---
    Of course, I accept!
[13:10] ---
    And I'm going to win back
[13:13] ---
    Ryota's and everyone else's cards!
[13:15] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[13:18] ---
    Genius Liberator, Waltimell!
[13:21] ---
    Shining Knight, Millius!
[13:24] ---
    I ride Fast Chase Liberator, Josephus!
[13:30] ---
    I ride Lunar Crescent Knight, Felax!
[13:35] ---
    And then I call!
[13:38] ---
    I attack Fast Chase Liberator, Josephus!
[13:48] ---
    Why don't you take the
    mask off already, Yuya?!
[13:52] ---
    Cut it out! That voice grates on my ears!
[13:55] ---
    I didn't think you would guess my identity,
[13:59] ---
    Shion!
[14:02] ---
    How long have you known?
[14:04] ---
    How long have you known it was me?
[14:08] ---
    It was that footwork.
[14:10] ---
    That beautiful footwork...
[14:12] ---
    It was exactly how Speed King moves!
[14:18] ---
    And also what Ryota's friend
    heard, "Edogawa Ward."
[14:21] ---
    But really...
[14:23] ---
    Etes-vous prets?
[14:25] ---
    ...it was that!
[14:28] ---
    But there's one thing you
    haven't picked up on.
[14:33] ---
    Who do you think...
[14:35] ---
    ...called you here?
[14:39] ---
    It was me!
[14:41] ---
    What?!
[14:42] ---
    I sent that message to your phone.
[14:46] ---
    But I didn't think
[14:48] ---
    you would actually come, when someone from
    the Association was there to observe you.
[14:54] ---
    This is a masterpiece!
[14:55] ---
    This will leave you out of the running
    to be a professional fencer-in-training.
[15:02] ---
    I ride Lawful Trumpeter!
[15:06] ---
    And then...
[15:09] ---
    ...I attack Felax!
[15:14] ---
    My turn! Ride!
[15:20] ---
    Go!
[15:23] ---
    Twin Sword! Fragment!
[15:30] ---
    This is what's so fun about Vanguard.
[15:33] ---
    You get to force your opponent
    to yield with overwhelming power.
[15:38] ---
    There's nothing better than that moment!
[15:42] ---
    Ride!
[15:51] ---
    He's strong!
[15:52] ---
    At first, it was a casual thing.
[15:55] ---
    I just wanted to know about this Vanguard
    that you'd become so involved in.
[16:01] ---
    But then I quickly became obsessed with it!
[16:09] ---
    Shion!
[16:10] ---
    Damage check!
[16:13] ---
    Are you sure about this?
[16:15] ---
    With only four precious triggers,
    are you going to waste one of them here?!
[16:20] ---
    Draw!
[16:27] ---
    You drew another trigger, didn't you?
[16:29] ---
    Do you know why I take a card
    from each of my losing opponents?
[16:34] ---
    It's a symbol of the strong
    dominating the weak!
[16:37] ---
    I do it to drill that into them
    in no uncertain terms!
[16:41] ---
    This is training me to become a ruler.
[16:43] ---
    As a member of the Karasumori family,
[16:46] ---
    it's my duty to test the commoners!
[16:49] ---
    What baloney.
[16:51] ---
    In your world, it's you and nobody else.
[16:54] ---
    But there are a lot of people
    living in this world,
[16:57] ---
    and each one of them
    shines in their own way!
[17:00] ---
    You, who know nothing of their glow,
[17:02] ---
    and who chose to become a ghost
    lurking in the darkness,
[17:05] ---
    will never be able to beat me!
[17:08] ---
    My passion and your sword together!
[17:12] ---
    Blue Sky Knight,
[17:14] ---
    Altmile!
[17:18] ---
    Generation Zone... release!
[17:34] ---
    Soaring combo attack!
[17:36] ---
    I grasp the infinite future!
[17:38] ---
    Stride Generation!
[17:48] ---
    Divine Knight of Flashing Flame, Samuel!
[17:52] ---
    Purify everything with that power!
[17:54] ---
    When there are five or more
    rear-guards on the field,
[17:56] ---
    that skill does 1 damage to my opponent!
[17:59] ---
    And then...
[18:01] ---
    ...triple drive check!
[18:07] ---
    No triggers there, huh?
[18:09] ---
    My rear-guard attacks!
[18:14] ---
    Oh, no! Even though he used Stride,
    he can't bring it home!
[18:19] ---
    Draw!
[18:20] ---
    If you can't even draw a trigger
[18:22] ---
    with G Unit attacking power, you won't be able
    to make the most of its true value, either!
[18:28] ---
    I never did like you.
[18:32] ---
    I've always wanted to
    give you a good beating!
[18:36] ---
    Just like these cards,
[18:39] ---
    you should grovel before me!
[18:44] ---
    Here I go! Legion!
[18:51] ---
    Legion, now?!
[18:53] ---
    Go! Legion attack!
[19:01] ---
    Perfect guard!
[19:03] ---
    What?! Twin drive!
[19:08] ---
    Two critical triggers!
[19:14] ---
    It's over.
[19:22] ---
    Wow! Somehow he managed to block it
    with a guard and intercept!
[19:25] ---
    But you used up all the cards in your hand!
[19:30] ---
    You have no chance of winning this now.
[19:32] ---
    You have 4 damage.
    If you don't win this next turn...
[19:37] ---
    No. Winning is the only option!
[19:40] ---
    I'm betting everything on these cards again!
[19:44] ---
    Stride Generation!
[19:50] ---
    Samuel!
[19:52] ---
    Attack Asclepius!
[19:55] ---
    That attack won't go through!
[20:00] ---
    Triple drive!
[20:04] ---
    You've got two triggers left.
[20:07] ---
    If you don't draw both of them, you
    won't be able to break through my guard.
[20:11] ---
    And that's very unlikely!
[20:18] ---
    It's over.
[20:20] ---
    No!
[20:21] ---
    What?
[20:22] ---
    I'm not giving up!
[20:24] ---
    Me neither...
[20:26] ---
    I'm not going to give up...
[20:29] ---
    ...until the very end!
[20:34] ---
    Critical trigger!
[20:37] ---
    I don't believe it!
[20:39] ---
    But can you draw one more?!
[20:41] ---
    Yes!
[20:44] ---
    If he can put his own fate on the line,
[20:47] ---
    I can put my faith on the line!
[20:52] ---
    I-It can't be!
[20:55] ---
    You drew two critical triggers?!
[21:00] ---
    I give all the effects of
    these critical triggers...
[21:02] ---
    ...to Flash Fire Holy Knight, Samil!
[21:14] ---
    C'est finis.
[21:15] ---
    Victory goes to our swords.
[21:23] ---
    Yay!
[21:24] ---
    I can't believe it. I lost...
[21:27] ---
    But no! I was right!
[21:30] ---
    One day, you will grovel before me!
[21:35] ---
    Yuya!
[21:38] ---
    He's getting away!
[21:41] ---
    Yuya...
[21:45] ---
    Oh, really?
[21:47] ---
    So you're no longer a candidate
    for professional fencer-in-training?
[21:51] ---
    It can't be helped.
[21:52] ---
    Still, it's truly a shame.
[21:55] ---
    But I don't have any regrets.
[21:58] ---
    Because I did what I thought was right.
[22:02] ---
    Besides, it's not like this
    closes off a path.
[22:06] ---
    I will grasp it with my own hands.
[22:09] ---
    The future that I desire...
[22:12] ---
    That's the Young Master I know.
[22:15] ---
    Come on, Iwakura, let's practice!
[22:17] ---
    Right!
[23:56] ---
    It must have been hard on you, Young Master.
[23:58] ---
    To think, the Masked Ghost was really Yuya...
[24:02] ---
    I'm shocked.
[24:03] ---
    Yeah.
[24:05] ---
    But I have a feeling it's not over yet.
[24:09] ---
    You can't let your guard down.
[24:11] ---
    Although there's no sense in
    dwelling on it, either.
