[00:04] Spoken
    One day, a Vanguard deck suddenly
    showed up in my cubbyhole.
[00:09] Spoken
    There was also an envelope with a map inside,
[00:12] Spoken
    and the address of a card shop written on it.
[00:15] Spoken
    Before I knew it, I was fighting,
    without even knowing what the deck was.
[00:20] Spoken
    But...
[00:21] Spoken
    ...it got me fired up, a sensation
    I'd never felt before.
[00:25] Spoken
    This is Vanguard!
[00:29] Spoken
    I've gotta check it out...
[00:32] Spoken
    My other possibility!
SIGN    Today's Weather Forecast
[02:26] Spoken
    And so, it'll be mostly cloudy today,
    with occasional clear skies.
[02:30] Spoken
    It looks like we'll have a relatively
    comfortable, warm day today.
[02:33] Spoken
    This has been the weather.
[02:34] Spoken
    All right, thank you.
[02:37] Spoken
    Coming up is a story
[02:40] Spoken
    about the Vanguard Association's
    special exhibition match last weekend.
[02:45] Spoken
    For me, the most appealing thing
    about Vanguard
[02:48] Spoken
    is being able to fight
    actual human beings.
[02:52] Spoken
    Each fight is really different,
    depending on your opponent.
[02:55] Spoken
    And the scope of the images you get while
    fighting also depend on the opponent.
[03:01] Spoken
    Unsurprisingly, if you fight someone
    who has a strong imagination,
[03:04] Spoken
    the images you see will change.
[03:07] Spoken
    It's a sensation you just can't
    get fighting a computer opponent.
[03:13] Spoken
    Images...
SIGN    Turn 2 Kamui Katsuragi
[03:31] Spoken
    Your fate has been sealed!
[03:34] Spoken
    Stride Generation!
[03:39] Spoken
    You got me!
[03:44] Spoken
    It'll be a million light years
    before you can surpass me,
[03:47] Spoken
    this shop's number three fighter!
[03:50] Spoken
    Yeah!
[03:51] Spoken
    Awesome as always!
[03:52] Spoken
    Tsuneto, your skills are
    always getting sharper!
[03:55] Spoken
    Naturally!
[03:57] Spoken
    Who do you think I am?
[04:00] Spoken
    Are you looking for something?
[04:03] Spoken
    Uh... no...
[04:04] Spoken
    Huh? Might you be Chrono Shindou?
[04:07] Spoken
    Huh? Uh, yeah...
[04:09] Spoken
    I knew it! Kamui told me about you.
[04:13] Spoken
    I see...
[04:15] Spoken
    So you're the one.
[04:19] Spoken
    Oof!
[04:20] Spoken
    I see you came back today.
[04:22] Spoken
    Hi.
[04:23] Spoken
    I've been waitin' for you.
[04:24] Spoken
    Hey, Shin. This is the beginner
    I was tellin' you about.
[04:28] Spoken
    He's Shin.
    The manager here, supposedly.
[04:32] Spoken
    H-Hello...
[04:33] Spoken
    Hey, Kamui...
[04:35] Spoken
    What does "supposedly" mean?
[04:36] Spoken
    After all, you still work
    at the original shop, right?
[04:39] Spoken
    Are you sure you can pull double duty?
[04:42] Spoken
    The owner is over there.
[04:47] Spoken
    Man, I'm thrilled that you're into it.
[04:50] Spoken
    You're definitely a natural.
[04:52] Spoken
    Why haven't you played Vanguard before?
[04:56] Spoken
    They didn't have it at the orphanage.
[04:59] Spoken
    I see.
[05:02] Spoken
    What is this?
[05:04] Spoken
    Why did it come to me?
[05:07] Spoken
    It was in your cubbyhole, right?
[05:09] Spoken
    Does that sort of thing happen?
[05:11] Spoken
    In the Vanguard world?
[05:14] Spoken
    No, no, no!
SIGN    Mates (6)
    
    Miwa, locking up is really tough.
     Is there a trick to it?
    
    You just have to get used to it.
    I'll stop by soon to show you how it's done.
    
    Thank you!
    
    Well, good luck!
    
    By the way, Brother! Today I encountered
    a clan I've never seen before.
    
    Huh. What kind of clan?
    
    It's called Gear Chronicle.
    Do you know about it?
    
    I've never heard of it.
    
    Do you know about it, Kai?
    
    Nope.
[05:16] Spoken
    I tried askin' a few acquaintances, too,
[05:20] Spoken
    but nobody knows about this clan.
[05:25] Spoken
    Hi.
[05:29] Spoken
    Chronojet... Dragon...
[05:35] Spoken
    Chrono Shindou! Chronojet Dragon! Chrono!
[05:39] Spoken
    It's not polite to point!
[05:40] Spoken
    Whoa!
[05:42] Spoken
    Isn't it embarrassing to have
    a unit that shares your name?
[05:46] Spoken
    None of your business.
[05:49] Spoken
    So you are embarrassed!
[05:51] Spoken
    No, I'm not!
[05:52] Spoken
    Hey, you guys. Let's leave it at that.
[05:55] Spoken
    Chrono, they're...
[05:57] Spoken
    Kamui! We can introduce ourselves.
[06:00] Spoken
    I'm this shop's number three fighter!
[06:04] Spoken
    The knight of destiny,
[06:06] Spoken
    Tsuneto Tado!
[06:09] Spoken
    I'm the brain that can search the world!
[06:12] Spoken
    Karl Yamaji!
[06:15] Spoken
    I love nature!
[06:17] Spoken
    Kei Nagara!
[06:20] Spoken
    Together we are...
[06:24] Spoken
    ...Team Trinity Dragon!
[06:32] Spoken
    Hey! He just made fun of us!
[06:35] Spoken
    That's fine.
[06:36] Spoken
    The average person can't
    comprehend our superior sense.
[06:41] Spoken
    What does that mean?
[06:44] Spoken
    Okay, okay. Check this out.
[06:47] Spoken
    Oh, a Fica.
[06:49] Spoken
    Fica?
[06:51] Spoken
    Whaaat? You don't even know what that is?
[06:57] Spoken
    Come on, guys, he's a beginner,
    so quit bustin' his chops.
[07:01] Spoken
    Just because he's a beginner,
[07:03] Spoken
    I don't think we should go easy on him!
[07:05] Spoken
    If anything, you should be
    more indulgent with us!
[07:08] Spoken
    Yeah, yeah.
[07:10] Spoken
    I get the message.
[07:12] Spoken
    So what is this?
[07:15] Spoken
    Fighter's Card. "Fica" for short.
[07:18] Spoken
    The Vanguard Association puts it out.
[07:21] Spoken
    Well, it's kind of like
    a fighter's credential.
[07:24] Spoken
    Association...
[07:27] Spoken
    I saw something about it on TV.
[07:29] Spoken
    Yeah. It's been on TV a lot lately.
[07:33] Spoken
    The Friendly International Vanguard
    Association, or FIVA for short.
[07:36] Spoken
    It's a group that offers various kinds
    of support to us fighters.
[07:41] Spoken
    The highlight is the VG Network.
[07:44] Spoken
    By completing quests
    that are downloaded to shops,
[07:47] Spoken
    fighters can improve their grade.
SIGN    Takashi M.

    "Please fight me."
    It's my first time I'm using this clan,
    so I want to try various things.
[07:50] Spoken
    There are perks to raising your grade, too.
[07:53] Spoken
    You can even become eligible
    to participate in tournaments.

    Your information, fight record, and all
    the quests you've done are recorded in Fica.
[08:02] Spoken
    Thank you!
[08:04] Spoken
    You're just starting out, so your grade is 0.
[08:07] Spoken
    Your color is white.
[08:08] Spoken
    We're grade 3!
[08:13] Spoken
    How about you, Kamui?
[08:14] Spoken
    Huh? Me?
[08:16] Spoken
    Well, I'm...
[08:23] Spoken
    Wow!
[08:26] Spoken
    It's because Kamui has somehow
    become a top-level fighter.
[08:36] Spoken
    This is the quest board.
[08:38] Spoken
    I'll give you a brief explanation.
[08:40] Spoken
    The screen controls are on this pad.
[08:46] Spoken
    First, you choose your area.
[08:50] Spoken
    To raise your grade, you complete
    a quest and build up points.
[08:57] Spoken
    Awesome. So many...
[08:59] Spoken
    There are official quests released by FIVA,
[09:02] Spoken
    and user quests by individual fighters.
[09:06] Spoken
    The number of points you can get
[09:07] Spoken
    depends on the quest's difficulty level.
SIGN    Official Quest Go up against a fighter with a different clan and make friends.
SIGN    Search for a Card! I lost a card at the park. Please help me find it.
[09:21] ---
    Guess I'll do this one.
[09:23] ---
    Then just confirm it,
[09:25] ---
    touch Fica to the pad, and you're done.
SIGN    Kentarou S. Please touch the panel with your Fica.
[09:33] ---
    I got the quest!
[09:35] ---
    Jerk!
[09:36] ---
    Hey, you guys!
[09:37] ---
    Sorry, Kamui!
[09:39] ---
    We wanna raise our grades, too.
[09:42] ---
    And so, Trinity Dragon,
[09:44] ---
    move out!
[09:47] ---
    Yes, sir!
[09:48] ---
    Yahoo!
[09:50] ---
    Sheesh. They're hopeless.
[09:52] ---
    If you act now, you can still
    participate in that quest.
[09:55] ---
    The person who completes it
    first gets the points.
[09:59] ---
    In that case, of course!
[10:05] ---
    All right. Shall we go?
[10:07] ---
    But your job...
[10:08] ---
    Giving a lecture to a beginner
[10:10] ---
    is an important part of the job, right?
[10:14] ---
    Shin!
[10:15] ---
    Yes?
[10:16] ---
    I'm gonna tag along on his quest.
[10:20] ---
    Come on! Hurry up, Chrono!
[10:21] ---
    W-Wait a...
[10:22] ---
    They'll get the jump on you!
[10:22] ---
    Wait, Kamui!
[10:25] ---
    Hurry!
[10:31] ---
    So he chose to help someone
    for his first quest.
[10:35] ---
    I see.
[10:45] ---
    Um...
[10:47] ---
    Thank you for taking part in my quest.
[10:50] ---
    So...
[10:51] ---
    Chrono, smile.
[10:54] ---
    U-Um...
[10:56] ---
    We always fight here...
[11:02] ---
    Ride!
[11:03] ---
    All right! Here I go!
[11:08] ---
    Then I realized that it was gone!
[11:10] ---
    My Perfect Raizer!
[11:13] ---
    Perfect Raizer, huh?
[11:15] ---
    That's pretty rare.
[11:16] ---
    Leave it to us!
[11:18] ---
    We'll find it right away!
[11:22] ---
    We are Trinity Dragon!
[11:29] ---
    I'm not sure if I should say something...
[11:33] ---
    We've as good as won it!
[11:34] ---
    Don't pay attention to them.
    I'll look for your card.
[11:37] ---
    O-Okay!
[11:39] ---
    Chrono... Smile, smile.
[11:43] ---
    Where is it?! Here, here?!
[11:54] ---
    But I'm sure you've already
    searched around here, right?
[11:57] ---
    Yes.
[11:58] ---
    Maybe you guys stole it!
[12:03] ---
    Don't suspect the people who asked for help!
[12:06] ---
    Scary!
[12:08] ---
    Don't make the people who asked for help cry!
[12:13] ---
    I don't really know anything about cards,
[12:16] ---
    but now that you mention it, the other day,
[12:18] ---
    my doggy's collar was missing.
[12:21] ---
    I just took it off while
    I was shampooing him...
[12:24] ---
    And I put a mirror in my flowerbed
    to ward off stray cats,
[12:28] ---
    but it disappeared before I knew it!
[12:35] ---
    If it's not in the park,
[12:38] ---
    then it's only natural to think
    someone must've taken it.
[12:43] ---
    But who?
[12:51] ---
    Chrono!
[12:57] ---
    Th-This information...
[13:00] ---
    Did you discover something, Karl?
[13:02] ---
    The Super Marutoku on 2nd Street
SIGN    Special Sale From 5:00 PM Meat Bonanza
[13:04] ---
    is having a special sale on
    fried minced meat cakes from 5:00 pm!
[13:09] ---
    Huh? Where'd they go?
[13:13] ---
    It sounds like a lot of stuff has
    been disappearing around here lately.
[13:18] ---
    But all of it's been outside.
[13:20] ---
    From gardens, supermarket parking lots,
[13:23] ---
    and the park, of course...
[13:26] ---
    Then there is a thief?
[13:28] ---
    That'd be weird.
[13:30] ---
    The other missing things are a
    dog collar, a mirror...
[13:33] ---
    Items that aren't really worth much.
[13:36] ---
    Except the Vanguard card.
[13:39] ---
    They said their things disappeared
    when they weren't looking.
[13:42] ---
    Like they just grew wings
    and flew away...
[13:51] ---
    Kamui!
[13:59] ---
    Certainly, there was a crow in the park.
[14:02] ---
    And you hear a lot about crows
    collecting shiny objects.
[14:06] ---
    But would they take a card?
[14:09] ---
    Perfect Raizer is a shiny rare card.
[14:12] ---
    It glitters when the sun hits it.
[14:25] ---
    There!
[14:27] ---
    The only thing to do is climb this...
[14:34] ---
    We know who the culprit is!
[14:38] ---
    Master Shion,
[14:41] ---
    how are you finding life
    at your new middle school?
[14:44] ---
    Fine.
[14:45] ---
    I'm making lots of friends.
[14:47] ---
    That's wonderful.
[14:49] ---
    We found it first!
[14:53] ---
    Shut up!
[14:54] ---
    Whoever has it in the end is the winner!
[14:58] ---
    I guess you can't put much stock
    in rumors about people.
[15:02] ---
    Did you say something?
[15:04] ---
    No.
[15:06] ---
    Forward! Forward more!
[15:08] ---
    You're heavy...
[15:10] ---
    Endure it!
[15:11] ---
    Show them the power of Trinity Dragon!
[15:13] ---
    Don't wobble!
[15:19] ---
    All this work for one card?!
[15:21] ---
    A double-rare card, a triple-rare card,
[15:24] ---
    even a special card!
[15:26] ---
    What, is this bird a collector?
[15:29] ---
    His missing card...
[15:35] ---
    Dumb bird!
[15:43] ---
    Hey! Wait!
[15:45] ---
    So, this shop I went to the other day
[15:48] ---
    had the cutest thing...
[15:51] ---
    Huh. Why don't we all go next Sunday?
[15:55] ---
    Wait!
[16:01] ---
    Was that...
[16:02] ---
    ...Shindou?
[16:04] ---
    No way!
[16:09] ---
    This way!
SIGN    
[16:24] ---
    Hey, you! Come down!
[16:28] ---
    H-Hey, Chrono! Don't be reckless!
[16:38] ---
    Why, you...!
[16:41] ---
    Now!
[16:43] ---
    Hey! You thieving crow!
[16:46] ---
    Super Marutoku's specialty!
[16:48] ---
    Fried minced meat cakes
    are on sale from 5:00 pm!
[16:51] ---
    Have one...
[16:53] ---
    ...thief!
[17:09] ---
    Wait!
[17:17] ---
    You're not getting that card!
[17:19] ---
    Bite me!
[17:25] ---
    Tsuneto!
[17:26] ---
    I got it first!
[17:28] ---
    No, I did!
[17:29] ---
    Where's your proof?!
[17:30] ---
    Knock it off! You're gonna tear the card!
[17:37] ---
    There's no other way.
[17:38] ---
    You two will just have to
    resolve this with a fight.
SIGN    Absorbent Towel
[17:49] ---
    All right.
[17:58] ---
    They have these?
[18:00] ---
    Okay, let's get started.
[18:02] ---
    This is the planet Cray.
[18:04] ---
    And this is a magnificent temple
    in the United Sanctuary.
[18:07] ---
    The gods of fate tell each
    person their future here.
[18:11] ---
    There's an oracle here!
[18:12] ---
    So, picture it!
[18:26] ---
    It looks like you've pictured it, huh?
[18:28] ---
    My clan is Oracle Think Tank.
[18:31] ---
    There's no way you can resist
[18:33] ---
    the gods who preside over fate!
[18:36] ---
    We'll see about that.
[18:37] ---
    My future is gonna turn
    that fate on its head!
[18:42] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[18:53] ---
    I'll show you the power...
[18:55] ---
    ...of Trinity Dragon!
[18:57] ---
    Ride!
[19:01] ---
    Ride!
[19:07] ---
    Attack!
[19:08] ---
    Guard!
[19:13] ---
    Ride!
[19:22] ---
    He made a smooth transition
    from guarding to an attack!
[19:24] ---
    That's our Tsuneto!
[19:29] ---
    There's no way a beginner who first touched
    a Vanguard deck yesterday or today
[19:33] ---
    could be any kind of match
    for the Trinity Dragons!
[19:37] ---
    Well, Tsuneto's personality
    leaves something to be desired,
[19:40] ---
    but he is a really strong fighter.
[19:43] ---
    At this rate, you'll be a goner.
[19:45] ---
    What's that, Kamui?
[19:47] ---
    Giving advice during a fight is a no-no!
[19:49] ---
    I know...
[19:51] ---
    What I don't get...
[19:53] ---
    ...is that you're Trinity Dragons,
    but there aren't any dragons.
[20:00] ---
    D-Don't get hung up on trivial details!
[20:03] ---
    That's why you're a small fry.
[20:04] ---
    Small fry are so annoying.
[20:09] ---
    Ride...
[20:11] ---
    Chronojet Dragon...
[20:14] ---
    There it is!
[20:16] ---
    Chrono's Chronojet Dragon!
[20:20] ---
    Okay, come on!
[20:22] ---
    Chrono is riding a Chronojet Dragon!
[20:26] ---
    What kind of attack are you gonna do?
[20:29] ---
    Chrono... jet Dragon!
[20:34] ---
    Shut up!
[20:51] ---
    Huh?
[20:53] ---
    That just turned the tables.
[20:59] ---
    Here. Don't lose it again.
[21:01] ---
    Thank you!
[21:02] ---
    Good for you!
[21:05] ---
    You get his signature with the Fica,
     and the quest is over.
SIGN    Kentarou S.
[21:16] ---
    And now you'll go up to grade 1.
[21:21] ---
    Good job.
[21:25] ---
    I'm back!
[21:35] ---
    Misaki! Why are you...?
[21:38] ---
    What?
[21:39] ---
    Is it that strange for the owner
    to be in her own shop?
[21:43] ---
    Owner?
[21:44] ---
    Shin told me that you ditched the store
    to go out and have fun?
[21:49] ---
    No, th-that was, um...
[21:55] ---
    This guy's a beginner,
[21:57] ---
    and he was on his first quest.
[21:59] ---
    I was worried about him,
    so I figured looking after beginners
[22:02] ---
    was sort of part of the job...
[22:04] ---
    Hmm... part of the job...
[22:08] ---
    Okay.
[22:11] ---
    I'll just take it out of your wages.
[22:18] ---
    No way...
[22:20] ---
    Misaki!
[23:56] ---
    Congratulations on completing
    your first quest!
[23:58] ---
