**[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!
