[00:08] ---
    Okazaki...
[00:14] ---
    I'll definitely save you. Wait for me, Tokoha!
[00:19] ---
    Stand Up! Vanguard!
[00:23] ---
    What shall I do? Should I move immediately?
[00:26] ---
    Or should I wait until Okazaki's
    match has been decided?
[00:35] ---
    Satoru Enishi, huh?
[02:10] ---
    We're partway through the
    second day of the first stage
[02:13] ---
    and more teams have made
    their way to the next stage.
[02:17] ---
    Some of these were expected
[02:20] ---
    and others caught us by surprise.
[02:24] ---
    Which team will be next to
    proceed to the next stage?
SIGN    Turn 18 Mano A Mano
[02:38] ---
    Why did you join the U20
    after all this time?
[02:43] ---
    That's my line.
[02:45] ---
    Why did you join?
    And on Tokoha's team at that.
[02:50] ---
    Let's see what you've got.
[02:52] ---
    Stand Up!
[02:54] ---
    Vanguard!
[02:56] ---
    Enigmatic Assassin!
[02:58] ---
    Extreme Battler, Kabutron!
[03:01] ---
    Ride!
[03:02] ---
    Edge in the Darkness!
[03:04] ---
    Kamui Katsuragi...
[03:06] ---
    He once ruled the Asia Circuit
[03:09] ---
    and his strength is
    comparable to that of a pro.

[03:14] ---
    I'll Ride Extreme Battler, Malyaki!
[03:19] ---
    Move Kabutron to the front-left.
[03:21] ---
    Call Furious Puncher!
[03:24] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Malyaki!
[03:27] ---
    Guard.
[03:29] ---
    Attack with Kabutron!
[03:32] ---
    No Guard.
[03:36] ---
    Ride!
[03:37] ---
    Demonted Executioner!
[03:39] ---
    Call!
[03:40] ---
    Demonted Executioner!
[03:43] ---
    But whoever I'm up against,
[03:45] ---
    I cannot fail to save Tokoha.
[03:49] ---
    Attack Vanguard!
[03:53] ---
    Attack once more!
[03:55] ---
    Guard!
[03:59] ---
    Ride!
[04:00] ---
    Battle Sister, Madeleine!
[04:02] ---
    Stride Generation!
[04:06] ---
    Excite Battle Sister, Miroir!
[04:09] ---
    Attack!
[04:20] ---
    Ride!
[04:21] ---
    Scharhrot Vampir!
[04:23] ---
    Call!
[04:24] ---
    Glanzend Vampir!
[04:26] ---
    Activate Glanzend's Skill!
[04:28] ---
    Look at the top five cards in my deck
[04:30] ---
    and send any cards with the
    Darkness Skill to my Soul!
[04:33] ---
    Add 2000 Power!
[04:35] ---
    Scharhrot Vampir, huh?
[04:37] ---
    Show me how strong the former
    Dark Zone branch leader is!
[04:44] ---
    After I resigned from being
    the Dark Zone branch leader,

[04:47] ---
    I joined the Dragon Empire branch
    at Mamoru Anjou's invitation.

[04:52] ---
    In order to make a better future,
[04:54] ---
    I tried to show people how fun Vanguard is.
[04:57] ---
    I thought that was what I could do...
[05:03] ---
    And I joined the team at
    Tokoha Anjou's invitation

[05:07] ---
    to get to where I am today.
[05:10] ---
    Attack with Demonted!
[05:11] ---
    Guard!
[05:13] ---
    I am still undecided.
[05:16] ---
    But even still...
[05:18] ---
    Please support Tokoha during the tournament.
[05:21] ---
    I'm counting on you.
[05:24] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Scharhrot Vampir!
[05:30] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Glanzend Vampir!
[05:38] ---
    Is this all you can do? I'm disappointed.
[05:42] ---
    Fighting like this won't work against me!
[05:50] ---
    Satorun-run...
[05:53] ---
    Now, this is the field
    people keep looking at,
[05:55] ---
    where players can visit the
    Bind Zone for a short time.
[06:00] ---
    Meals and toilet breaks, deck adjustment
[06:03] ---
    and team strategy meetings
    can all be done here.
[06:12] ---
    I didn't expect to meet you
    here instead of the field.
[06:15] ---
    You can say that again.
[06:19] ---
    You fought Onimaru yesterday, didn't you?
[06:24] ---
    I've fought him once before as well.
[06:27] ---
    And I lost.
[06:29] ---
    Could you tell me more about that fight?
[06:35] ---
    I'm surprised. I didn't think Onimaru
    would be the reason you were competing.
[06:41] ---
    How was your fight with him?
[06:43] ---
    It's frustrating but it was my total loss.
[06:45] ---
    Especially in the end game.
    He was overwhelming.
[06:49] ---
    And more than anything...
[06:56] ---
    I've mastered your style of Vanguard.
[07:05] ---
    You saw it too?
[07:07] ---
    You did too, Chrono?
[07:10] ---
    Kazumi Onimaru will definitely stand
    in our way in the future as well.
[07:15] ---
    Yeah. No mistake about that.
[07:18] ---
    Another team has cleared the first stage!
[07:22] ---
    We have to beat the first
    stage right now though.
[07:26] ---
    We can't afford to hang around.
[07:29] ---
    Tokoha is in the Drop Zone?!
[07:31] ---
    She...
[07:33] ---
    She lost to Taiyou.
[07:35] ---
    To Taiyou?
[07:38] ---
    I wonder why Tokoha quit her
    studies abroad to come back.
[07:42] ---
    I've been wondering about that as well.
[07:47] ---
    I even quit my study abroad.
[07:51] ---
    I was desperate to join the U20.
[07:55] ---
    What am I doing?
[08:00] ---
    Here we have the end of Kamui
    Katsuragi and Satoru Enishi's Fight.
[08:04] ---
    They each have two damage and
    are about to enter the sixth turn.
[08:09] ---
    It seems your part-time job at Dragon
    Empire has made you lose your edge.
[08:16] ---
    Let's turn this up a notch!
[08:17] ---
    This is my burning hot Fight!
[08:20] ---
    Burning Soul! Blazing Fighting Spirit!
[08:24] ---
    Exxcessive Battler, Victor!
    I Ride!
[08:29] ---
    Stride Generation!
[08:32] ---
    Meteokaiser, Victor!
[08:35] ---
    Stride Skill!
[08:36] ---
    When Meteokaiser, Victor attacks a Vanguard,
[08:40] ---
    you can choose one
    Rear-guard with the Rush ability
[08:43] ---
    and make all of the Units
    in the same column Stand!
[08:47] ---
    Move Kabutron and Furious Puncher!
[08:49] ---
    Meteokaiser, Victor's Skill!
[08:52] ---
    When an attack hits a Vanguard, I
    can Stand one of my Rear-guards!
[08:56] ---
    And add 5000 Power!
[09:00] ---
    Attack Rear-guard with
    Extreme Battler, Sever-temper!
[09:06] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Furious Puncher!
[09:16] ---
    Attack with Meteokaiser, Victor!
[09:19] ---
    Stride Skill!
[09:20] ---
    Stand Furious Puncher and Kabutron!
[09:24] ---
    Furious Puncher's Rush!
[09:25] ---
    Add 5000 Power to Sever-temper!
[09:28] ---
    Here it is!
[09:29] ---
    Nova Grappler Rush, which gives its
    Units new powers when they Stand.
[09:34] ---
    Eat this!
[09:53] ---
    Eat this!
[09:58] ---
    Perfect Guard!
[10:02] ---
    Triple Drive!
[10:03] ---
    Second Check, Third Check!
[10:06] ---
    Activate Sever-temper's Skill!
[10:08] ---
    When a Grade three card
    appears during a Drive Check,
[10:11] ---
    I can Retreat one of my opponent's
    Rear-guards that has less Power than my own!
[10:19] ---
    Oh! All of his Rear-guards
    have been destroyed!
[10:23] ---
    His Vanguard is all that's left!
[10:26] ---
    This is Kamui Katsuragi.
[10:29] ---
    He's strong.
[10:30] ---
    My attack isn't over yet.
[10:35] ---
    Show me you've got the
    strength to keep fighting!
[10:38] ---
    Show me your Vanguard!
[10:43] ---
    What shall I do? First, I'll...
[10:46] ---
    But if I use this Skill...
[10:52] ---
    Don't you dislike fighting me?
[10:55] ---
    Eh, why would I?
[10:59] ---
    Don't you hate losing all the time?
[11:03] ---
    Well, I do get disappointed.
[11:07] ---
    Even though she knows she
    can't win, Okazaki is having fun.

[11:11] ---
    It's strange.
[11:13] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Miroir!
[11:15] ---
    No Guard.
[11:17] ---
    Triple Drive!
[11:18] ---
    Critical Trigger!
[11:20] ---
    Second Check!
[11:22] ---
    Critical Trigger!
[11:23] ---
    Third Check!
[11:25] ---
    Critical Trigger!
[11:27] ---
    A Triple Critical?!
[11:30] ---
    Yay!
[11:31] ---
    You did it Kumi! Your first victory!
[11:34] ---
    How's that, Enishi-chi!
[11:36] ---
    This is my Vanguard!
[11:39] ---
    Kumi, fight me next!
[11:41] ---
    Okay!
[11:43] ---
    But don't hold back on me.
[11:45] ---
    That was poorly played, Satorun-run!
    You need to train with Masked Coach!
[11:49] ---
    First up is Ending! No, Cheating! No, Running!
[11:54] ---
    I always wanted to ask, but why are you
    hanging around with Japanese high schoolers?
[11:59] ---
    Why is Jaime Alcaraz, the
    Euro League fighter, here?
[12:03] ---
    I am not Jaime!
[12:06] ---
    I'm the Masked...
[12:09] ---
    Masked...
[12:12] ---
    Because I'm your Amigo!
[12:14] ---
    Tokoha, Kumi, Chrono and the others, too!
[12:17] ---
    Vanguard connects us all!
[12:25] ---
    Here, croquet-bread from Nishi bakery.
[12:31] ---
    Croquet-bread after practice is the best!
[12:37] ---
    What they have is something I lack.
[12:42] ---
    Can I ever become like them?
[12:47] ---
    I...
[12:48] ---
    Don't have anything!
[12:51] ---
    Attack with Furious Puncher!
[13:00] ---
    Kabutron's Skill!
[13:01] ---
    Send Kabutron to my Soul
    and Stand Sever-temper!
[13:05] ---
    Add 2000 Power!
[13:07] ---
    Attack Vanguard!
[13:09] ---
    Rush!
[13:10] ---
    And also add 5000 Power!
[13:21] ---
    Attack!
[13:23] ---
    Guard!
[13:25] ---
    Why do I have to do this?
[13:27] ---
    I'm just going along with what Kiba wants...
[13:31] ---
    We're going to win the U20.
[13:34] ---
    And we'll keep the Vanguard club
    running at Fukuhara high school.
[13:38] ---
    There are at least two people
    I want to fight as well.
[13:43] ---
    Chrono Shindou and Tokoha Anjou, huh?
[13:53] ---
    Do you always intend to be
    the queen of boredom?
[13:57] ---
    Attack Vanguard with
    Lawless Mutant Deity, Obtirandus!
[14:02] ---
    How's that!?
[14:04] ---
    Annoying...
[14:07] ---
    I'll crush you!
[14:11] ---
    The damage is five to two!
[14:13] ---
    Kamui Katsuragi is leading against
    Satoru Enishi by a wide margin!
[14:16] ---
    And that's not all!
[14:18] ---
    He only has one card in his hand,
    and only his Vanguard on the field!
[14:24] ---
    Stand and Draw!
[14:25] ---
    Stride Generation!
[14:29] ---
    Mask of Demonic Frenzy, Ericrius!
[14:32] ---
    Against all odds, he's managed to Stride!
[14:34] ---
    Stride Skill! Soul Charge!
[14:40] ---
    Call!
[14:40] ---
    Scharhrot Vampir!
[14:43] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Ericrius!
[14:46] ---
    Activate Skill! Soul Charge!
[14:50] ---
    And with my Stride Skill, my
    opponent Retreats one Rear-guard!
[14:59] ---
    Activate Ericrius' Skill!
[15:02] ---
    Retreat one of my opponent's Rear-guards!
[15:05] ---
    I'll Retreat Sever-temper.
[15:07] ---
    And now, Attack with Scharhrot!
[15:09] ---
    Generation Guard!
[15:12] ---
    Turn End.
[15:14] ---
    He managed to get rid of the Rear-guards,
[15:17] ---
    but could only deal one damage!
[15:20] ---
    The reason he took the damage
    was probably to secure a cost.

[15:25] ---
    Stride Generation!
[15:29] ---
    Favorite Champ, Victor!
[15:33] ---
    Call!
[15:34] ---
    Exxcessive Battler, Victor!
    Exxtreme Battler, Victor!
[15:38] ---
    Shining Lady! Extreme Battler, Arashid!
[15:42] ---
    With no Rear-guards, and only 10 cards in his Soul,
    the source of his Dark Irregulars' power!
[15:48] ---
    Satoru Enishi
    is still in a desperate situation!
[15:53] ---
    Even if I can defend this turn,
    I have no way of winning after that.

[15:58] ---
    This fight is already...
[15:59] ---
    Don't make such a pathetic face!
[16:03] ---
    You're so lame!
[16:05] ---
    Show me you're a man!
[16:12] ---
    Okazaki!
[16:14] ---
    I'm sorry, Tokoha!
[16:17] ---
    We're counting on you, Enishi-chi!
[16:19] ---
    If three people Drop out,
    their team is disqualified!

[16:23] ---
    So if I lose now, everything's over?
[16:27] ---
    Attack with the left-hand
    Exxcessive Battler, Victor!
[16:34] ---
    Guard with Succubus of Pure Love
    and Flying Librarian!
[16:38] ---
    But with things the way they are now...
[16:41] ---
    Attack with the right-hand
    Exxessive Battler, Victor!
[16:44] ---
    Guard!
[16:46] ---
    He somehow defended against the second
    attack but only has one card in his hand!
[16:50] ---
    Can he endure?!
[16:54] ---
    Your goal for competing in the U20!
[16:59] ---
    I want to fight my best for the team.
[17:04] ---
    That's all.
[17:06] ---
    Attack with Favorite Champ, Victor!
[17:10] ---
    We're counting on you!
[17:11] ---
    Let's do our best!
[17:17] ---
    This is the end.
[17:26] ---
    Even if I guard against this
    attack, he'll Stand again.

[17:29] ---
    I can't defend against that second attack.
[17:32] ---
    I'll have to bet on getting
    a six-point Heal Trigger!

[17:40] ---
    Kamui Katsuragi's burning
    attacks are really heating up!
[17:53] ---
    What's this?! A Complete Heal Trigger?!
[17:56] ---
    He's hanging on by the skin of his teeth!
[18:00] ---
    But you know it's not over yet!
[18:02] ---
    Favorite Champ's Skill!
[18:06] ---
    I discard one card from my hand and Stand
    the same number of cards from my G-Zone!
[18:11] ---
    I also discard three cards from
    my hand and Counter Charge!
[18:15] ---
    Stand my Vanguard! Minus two Drive!
[18:18] ---
    And his Vanguard is Standing!
[18:22] ---
    My two Exxcessive Battler, Victors Rush!
[18:24] ---
    Add 4000 Power to my Units in all rows!
[18:30] ---
    Attack with Favorite Champ, Victor!
[18:37] ---
    Generation Guard!
[18:39] ---
    False Dark Wings, Agrat bat Mahlat!
[18:43] ---
    Soul Charge! Add 5000 to the shield!
[18:52] ---
    He endured it! He actually endured it!
[18:59] ---
    I don't know how I should
    proceed yet, with myself

[19:04] ---
    or with my Vanguard.
[19:07] ---
    Stand and Draw!
[19:09] ---
    However!
[19:11] ---
    Stride Generation!
[19:15] ---
    One Steeped in Sin, Scharhrot!
[19:18] ---
    I swore to fight my best for my team!
[19:22] ---
    Stride Skill! Soul Charge!
[19:27] ---
    Dimension Creeper's Skill!
[19:29] ---
    Send Dimension from Soul to Drop!
[19:31] ---
    Soul Charge!
[19:35] ---
    Satoru Enishi has finally got
    fifteen cards in his Soul!
[19:40] ---
    I will now do my best
    to save my teammates!
[19:44] ---
    If a man has only one thing
    to fight for, that's enough!
[19:49] ---
    Come!
[19:50] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Scharhrot!
[19:53] ---
    Darkness! Add 10,000 Power!
[19:56] ---
    Retreat all of my opponent's Rear-guards!
[20:09] ---
    And this attack cannot be
    Guarded against with Sentinels!
[20:14] ---
    I'll take it head on then!
[20:16] ---
    No Guard!
[20:25] ---
    I will definitely save my teammates!
[20:28] ---
    In order to do that, I will defeat you!
[20:30] ---
    Triple Drive!
[20:31] ---
    Second Check!
[20:33] ---
    Critical Trigger!
[20:35] ---
    All of its effects go to my Vanguard!
[20:37] ---
    Kamui Katsuragi! I will beat you!
[20:41] ---
    Third Check!
[20:44] ---
    Critical Trigger!
[20:46] ---
    All of its effects go to my Vanguard!
[20:48] ---
    I don't know what will
    happen to my team after this

[20:51] ---
    but this, right now...
[20:55] ---
    This is my Vanguard!
[21:09] ---
    I won?
[21:12] ---
    I got beaten...
[21:15] ---
    See you, then. Good luck.
[21:19] ---
    One more time! When I've found my Vanguard,
[21:23] ---
    I want to fight you one more time!
[21:26] ---
    You're so rigid...
[21:28] ---
    Sure! I'll fight you. Come at me anytime!
[21:36] ---
    Enishi-chi!
[21:40] ---
    Thank you!
[21:41] ---
    There's no need to thank me.
    I only did what anyone would do.
[21:45] ---
    We're a team.
[21:51] ---
    I'm concerned because she's
    acting differently to usual.
[21:56] ---
    Are you alright?
[21:59] ---
    Yeah.
[22:00] ---
    Let's do our best, Tokoha!
[22:02] ---
    I'll seize victory with
    these hands next time!
[22:06] ---
    That's right. This isn't the time to feel down.
[22:09] ---
    Look forwards and carry on.
[22:15] ---
    Let's go! We don't have time to dawdle!
[22:18] ---
    Yeah!
[22:19] ---
    Yeah!
[23:56] ---
    Nice Fight, Satorun-run!
[23:58] ---
    You haven't lost a single match!
    You're amazing!
[24:02] ---
    No, Okazaki is the amazing one.
[24:05] ---
    You understand the essence of
    Vanguard and put it into practice.
[24:09] ---
    You're so close, complimenting
    each other like that!
[24:12] ---
    So close - close friends! Dance!
[24:15] ---
    Jaime, we're not close friends.
    We're close enemies.
[24:18] ---
    Wow...Enishi-chi retaliated!
SIGN    Turn 19 Sorrow Skyscraper
[24:21] ---
    Let's party!
