    Anyway!
[00:06] ---
    Until you get to grade 3,
[00:09] ---
    we can't do anything.
[00:11] ---
    There's no need to be nervous.
    I'm almost there.
[00:14] ---
    So when are you gonna do it?
    I want a month, day, and date.
[00:17] ---
    Are you in elementary school?

    Then hurry up and grade-up!
[00:26] ---
    Then let me go on a quest already!
[00:29] ---
    Then look for one already!
[00:31] ---
    You guys won't let me go!
[00:32] ---
    There are tons of things
    I want you to accomplish
[00:35] ---
    before the regional tournament.

    This'll be my first event
    with another branch.
[00:59] ---
    We can take the subway to
    get there. It's not too far.
[01:03] ---
    Okay, I'll sign us up.
[01:05] ---
    Team name...
SIGN    La Victoire
[01:07] ---
    La Victoire...
[01:09] ---
    Wait a second!
[01:10] ---
    What's that?!
[01:12] ---
    It means "victory" in French.
[01:15] ---
    You don't get to decide!
[01:16] ---
    I've had an idea, too!
[01:18] ---
    Our team name is "Sink or Swim"!
[01:22] ---
    Lame!
[01:23] ---
    We'll go with my idea.
[01:25] ---
    "Shining Flowers" it is!
[01:29] ---
    Anything but that.
[01:31] ---
    Why?! What's wrong with it?
[01:32] ---
    You wanna saddle us with
    that embarrassing name?
[01:35] ---
    Then how about the French word
     for "side by side"?
[01:37] ---
    Enough French already!

[03:26] ---
    Huh?
[03:27] ---
    That's where you put your card.

    Chrono Shindou, Shion Kiba, Tokoha Anjou.
[04:02] ---
    What's the name of your team?
[04:05] ---
    Our name is still undecided.
[04:08] ---
    Excuse me?
SIGN    Turn 21  Fake Fight
SIGN    Mini-tournament Hall
[04:21] ---
    There are more people than I imagined.
[04:23] ---
    Everyone wants to increase
    their grade for the tournament.
[04:27] ---
    Just like you.
[04:29] ---
    I'm gonna make it today.
SIGN    Still Undecided
[04:38] ---
    We'd better come up with a team name soon.
[04:44] ---
    If you win a fight, you get points.
[04:48] ---
    The teams with the greatest number
    of points combined from its members
[04:52] ---
    will move on to the finals.
[04:54] ---
    The team that wins the finals
    will be the big winner.
[04:58] ---
    Everyone, aim for victory,
[05:01] ---
    and give it your all with
    fair and square fights!
[05:05] ---
    And now, let's begin!
[05:06] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[05:41] ---
    The winner: Shion Kiba!
[05:44] ---
    Good job!
[05:46] ---
    Yay!
[05:47] ---
    We're the best!
[05:54] ---
    I'm not going to do that!
[05:55] ---
    I didn't ask you to!
[05:57] ---
    Like I'd wanna do that?!
[05:58] ---
    Hey, Shion!
[06:00] ---
    Komaki. I didn't know you were here.
[06:03] ---
    Yeah.
[06:04] ---
    This is perfect as a warm-up for
    the regional tournament, right?
[06:09] ---
    So you're on a team.
[06:13] ---
    It's too bad. I wanted
    to fight alongside you.
[06:17] ---
    I'm sorry.
[06:19] ---
    He's...
[06:21] ---
    ...still grade 2?
[06:24] ---
    Yes.
[06:25] ---
    But his ability is higher than his grade.
[06:31] ---
    By the time this tournament is over,
[06:33] ---
    I'm sure you'll understand
    why I chose this team.
[06:37] ---
    I see.
[06:39] ---
    I'm looking forward to it.
[06:48] ---
    Ability higher than his grade...
[06:53] ---
    Twinkling bud, it's time to blossom!
[06:56] ---
    Ride!
[06:58] ---
    Ranunculus Flower Maiden, Ahsha!
[07:03] ---
    I'll show you how powerful I am!
[07:07] ---
    Call!
[07:10] ---
    I feel like she's changed a little.
[07:12] ---
    Anjou?
[07:14] ---
    She was strong before, too.
[07:16] ---
    But it was like she was playing.
[07:20] ---
    Now she's different.
[07:22] ---
    It's like she's taking
    the challenge seriously.
[07:25] ---
    Her own fight has started, too.
[07:29] ---
    Are you sure about this?
[07:31] ---
    The guy from the other team.
    He invited you, right?
[07:36] ---
    And why did you choose this team?
[07:40] ---
    Kamui forced me...
[07:42] ---
    You always could have refused.
[07:44] ---
    Maybe you should've formed a team
     with those kindergarteners.
[07:47] ---
    Look...
[07:49] ---
    The results...
[07:51] ---
    I could predict what they'll be.
[07:54] ---
    How strong I could get if
    I joined Komaki's team...
[07:58] ---
    How far we could get...
[08:01] ---
    I can picture it easily.
[08:03] ---
    But it's different here.
[08:05] ---
    How far can we get?
[08:07] ---
    I can't even guess.
[08:10] ---
    I've always want to be a challenger.
[08:12] ---
    I'd even say that I want to train myself
[08:14] ---
    in a harsh environment.
[08:16] ---
    What are we, a "harsh environment"?
[08:19] ---
    Yes.
[08:20] ---
    This is an untrodden frontier.
[08:28] ---
    The possibilities are endless here.
[08:31] ---
    The possibilities...
[08:33] ---
    ...are endless...
[08:35] ---
    There isn't just one future.
[08:37] ---
    The one that exists now
    and other possibilities...
[08:40] ---
    I can choose which one myself.
[08:43] ---
    Vanguard taught me that.
[08:47] ---
    I think I understand.
[08:51] ---
    I can become a different person
    than I was yesterday.
[08:54] ---
    Now I want to believe in myself.
[08:57] ---
    That's the possibility Vanguard gave me.
[09:04] ---
    Generation Zone... release!
[09:09] ---
    Now, show me...
[09:11] ---
    ...the world I truly desire!
[09:14] ---
    Stride Generation!
[09:26] ---
    Chronoscommand Dragon!
[09:37] ---
    Skill activated!
[09:39] ---
    All of your rear-guards go
    to the bottom of your deck!
[09:42] ---
    I can't call him a beginner anymore.
[09:44] ---
    Yeah.
[09:46] ---
    If you're not careful,
    he'll leave you in the dust.
[09:48] ---
    Both of us.
[09:50] ---
    I'm surprised to hear you say that.
[09:53] ---
    It's the truth.
[09:55] ---
    He has talent.
[09:57] ---
    Of course, he's making an effort, too,
     in his own way.
[10:00] ---
    But more than anything,
[10:01] ---
    he's got a powerful imagination
[10:03] ---
    and luck that snatches up victory.
[10:06] ---
    That's natural born.
[10:11] ---
    Then we've got to work
[10:14] ---
    twice as hard as him, huh?
[10:19] ---
    Yeah. That's right.
[10:21] ---
    Chronojet Dragon attacks!
[10:25] ---
    With the best eight teams decided,
[10:28] ---
    let's break for lunch.
[10:37] ---
    Do you know how to eat it?
[10:39] ---
    Of course!
[10:46] ---
    It's going smoothly so far.
[10:48] ---
    I don't see any problems.
[10:50] ---
    Yeah! We'll definitely win this.
[10:52] ---
    Naturally!
[10:55] ---
    Oh, that's right. You could've won
    that last match one turn earlier.
[11:01] ---
    The heck?! I won, so what's the difference?!
[11:04] ---
    That's right. It bugged me, too.
[11:07] ---
    It would've been faster if he'd switched out
     a rear-guard, then attacked, right?
[11:10] ---
    You, too?
[11:11] ---
    You too, Anjou.
[11:14] ---
    In some situations, you're better off
     attacking the rear-guards.
[11:18] ---
    I know you want to focus
    on inflicting damage,
[11:20] ---
    but it feels like you're
    playing impatiently.
[11:23] ---
    Hey! I have my own way of doing things.
[11:27] ---
    Mind your own business!
[11:28] ---
    Then, me too.
[11:30] ---
    In your last fight,
[11:32] ---
    why didn't you Stride?
[11:34] ---
    That's my strategy.
[11:37] ---
    You criticize other people,
    but excuse yourself?!
[11:40] ---
    Now I'm mad!
[11:41] ---
    Get your deck out! I'll take
    that pride of yours down a peg!
[11:44] ---
    Huh...
[11:46] ---
    I wonder which of us will be
     taken down a peg.
[11:48] ---
    Wait! I get to fight first!
[11:51] ---
    You sit down!
[11:53] ---
    I'm first!
[11:53] ---
    I'll buy your train ticket home.
[11:55] ---
    Even though you didn't know how
     to buy a ticket here?
[11:57] ---
    Really?
[12:11] ---
    I attack your Vanguard!
[12:20] ---
    Well?
[12:21] ---
    I won.
[12:22] ---
    How about you?
[12:24] ---
    Tokoha, is that you?
[12:26] ---
    Katagiri...
[12:28] ---
    Sorry, I'm going over to say hi.
[12:30] ---
    Sure.
[12:43] ---
    Call.
[12:46] ---
    My Vanguard attacks.
[12:49] ---
    G-Guard!
[12:50] ---
    Drive check!
[12:53] ---
    Um, I have a question...
[12:57] ---
    I got a critical trigger!
[13:00] ---
    All right!
[13:06] ---
    I lost.
[13:08] ---
    The winner! Team Trick Trick!
[13:11] ---
    I did it!
[13:12] ---
    Nice job. That was a good fight.
[13:17] ---
    Was that...
[13:19] ---
    ...just my imagination?
[13:21] ---
    Let's get to the finals like this.
[13:24] ---
    It'll be easy!
[13:26] ---
    Nobody notices!
[13:28] ---
    I didn't think it'd go this smoothly.
[13:30] ---
    It's one of those things,
    like hiding in plain sight.
[13:40] ---
    Hey!
[13:41] ---
    What did you guys do during that last fight?
[13:44] ---
    W-What?!
[13:48] ---
    You got business with us?
[13:51] ---
    If so, make it quick,
[13:52] ---
    'cause we gotta prepare for the next match.
[13:54] ---
    Next?
[13:56] ---
    You mean to cheat again?
[13:59] ---
    Cheat?
[14:00] ---
    What do you mean, cheat?
[14:02] ---
    Don't play dumb! I saw it!
[14:05] ---
    This guy had a trigger up his sleeve!
[14:09] ---
    Well, well.
[14:10] ---
    Do you have proof?
[14:12] ---
    Were you taking a video?
[14:15] ---
    Shut up! Fine, roll up that sleeve!
[14:25] ---
    Satisfied?
[14:28] ---
    Now, excuse us.
[14:30] ---
    Wait!
[14:31] ---
    I'm not done havin' my say!
[14:35] ---
    I know what I saw!
[14:37] ---
    You think you can get away with cheating?!
[14:40] ---
    That hurts! Please don't get violent!
[14:43] ---
    Show it to me one more time!
[14:45] ---
    I'm sure he's got a card
    hidden up there!
[14:48] ---
    Um... it's your turn.
[14:51] ---
    R-Right...
[14:53] ---
    Would you stop with the false accusations?
[14:55] ---
    Are you trying to interfere with our matches?
[14:58] ---
    You intend to keep fighting?
[15:00] ---
    I won't let you!
[15:02] ---
    You're causing a scene.
[15:04] ---
    Please lower your voice.
[15:07] ---
    This is really awkward. Man.
[15:09] ---
    Hey! Seriously, knock it off!
[15:12] ---
    Excuse me. I need to get over there...
[15:16] ---
    I'm not lettin' you guys off the hook!
[15:18] ---
    Now show me your arm once more!
[15:20] ---
    Stop it! Calm down!
[15:22] ---
    I'm sorry! I forfeit!
[15:23] ---
    H-Hey!
[15:25] ---
    Would you stop it?!
[15:26] ---
    Shut up! Get your hands off me!
[15:36] ---
    Ow!
[15:37] ---
    It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!
[15:41] ---
    Are you okay?
[15:44] ---
    What are you doing?!
[15:47] ---
    What's going on?
[15:50] ---
    Um...
[15:51] ---
    You guys are doing that on purpose!
[15:53] ---
    Shindou!
[15:54] ---
    Calm down, Shindou!
[15:56] ---
    It's him! He fell on purpose!
[15:59] ---
    Fine, just calm down!
[16:01] ---
    I won't let 'em get away with it!
[16:03] ---
    What do they think Vanguard is?!
[16:06] ---
    Those jerks are cheating! I'll...
[16:08] ---
    Calm down!
[16:09] ---
    It doesn't matter what the reason,
[16:11] ---
    we'll be penalized if the referees rule
    that you're being violent.
[16:18] ---
    What happened?
[16:21] ---
    What's wrong with that guy?
[16:24] ---
    Darn it! I was so close to winning!
[16:30] ---
    Shindou, why...?
[16:35] ---
    What was the cause of this?
[16:38] ---
    He suddenly shoved our leader!
[16:43] ---
    Is that true?
[16:48] ---
    As violence interferes with the tournament,
[16:52] ---
    the penalty is being stripped of one's grade
    and banned from the tournament.
[17:05] ---
    Hey! Wait!
[17:07] ---
    Shindou! Wait!
[17:14] ---
    Shindou! Explain!
[17:16] ---
    You had a reason, didn't you?
[17:18] ---
    Don't follow me!
[17:26] ---
    So you're saying he suddenly accused you
[17:31] ---
    and then turned violent?
[17:32] ---
    Yes. I don't know what was bugging him,
[17:36] ---
    but he wouldn't listen to us...
[17:40] ---
    After examining the facts once more,
[17:43] ---
    I'll tell you how the issue
    will be dealt with.
[17:45] ---
    Please, wait.
[17:48] ---
    Certainly,
[17:49] ---
    I don't know exactly what Shindou's thinking.
[17:53] ---
    But he's not the kind of person who
    lashes out at someone without a reason.
[17:57] ---
    And most of all...
[17:59] ---
    ...he would never do anything
    to disgrace Vanguard!
[18:03] ---
    You're his teammate, huh?
[18:05] ---
    I can understand why
    you'd wanna cover for him.
[18:08] ---
    By the way,
[18:10] ---
    what are you hiding on your right shoulder?
[18:13] ---
    Are you gonna make accusations, too?!
[18:15] ---
    You can look all you want.
[18:19] ---
    Would you take off the sweater?
[18:22] ---
    You haven't been fiddling with your arm,
[18:25] ---
    but your right shoulder!
[18:28] ---
    In fact, my guess is you're wearing that
    over-sized sweater to hide something.
[18:35] ---
    Th-That's bull!
[18:37] ---
    Please take off the sweater and show me.
[18:39] ---
    Right now.
[18:41] ---
    You said I could check, right?
[18:43] ---
    This is silly!
[18:44] ---
    Say he does what you ask and
    you're wrong. What then?
[18:49] ---
    Then I can be disqualified as a fighter, too!
[18:54] ---
    Whoa...
[19:02] ---
    Huh.
[19:04] ---
    You're gonna run away?
[19:08] ---
    Come on!
[19:14] ---
    Darn it!
[19:30] ---
    What is this?
[19:31] ---
    What the heck?
[19:32] ---
    They're all critical triggers!
[19:39] ---
    I apologize.
[19:41] ---
    I failed to notice it.
[19:43] ---
    Team Trick Trick has cheated
[19:46] ---
    and lied to a judge.
[19:50] ---
    They cannot improve their grades,
[19:51] ---
    and are banned from participating in any
    official tournaments for five years.
[19:54] ---
    Is that punishment acceptable?
[19:57] ---
    Yes.
[19:58] ---
    The problem is, what to do
    about Chrono Shindou,
[20:01] ---
    who first brought attention
    to their cheating.
[20:04] ---
    Whatever the reason,
    violent behavior is unacceptable.
[20:08] ---
    I recommend the same
    punishment as Trick Trick.
[20:12] ---
    Isn't that too harsh?
[20:14] ---
    I think there were plenty of
    extenuating circumstances here.
[20:18] ---
    I say we just close the matter
    with a warning.
[20:21] ---
    The teams whose table was overturned
    had their fight nullified.
[20:21] [SONG] ---
    Chrono Shindou
[20:26] ---
    This would've been much easier
    if he'd just called a judge over.
[20:30] ---
    If Shindou hadn't taken it upon himself
    to pick a fight with them,
[20:34] ---
    it wouldn't have come to this.
[20:37] ---
    What do you think, Ibuki?
[20:41] ---
    We can't just call him innocent.
[20:45] ---
    But when you consider that he was trying
    to blow the whistle on their cheating,
[20:49] ---
    it doesn't seem right to take away
    his fighter qualification.
[20:53] ---
    It seems more appropriate to strip him
    of his fighter's points.
[21:01] ---
    What?!
[21:04] ---
    Then, all the points Shindou has now...
[21:06] ---
    ...are gonna be taken away?!
[21:11] ---
    But he was right!
[21:13] ---
    Why does Shindou have to be punished?!
[21:16] ---
    This is a mistake!

    Katagiri, please take me to the board.
    I need to talk to them!
[21:22] ---
    Anjou... Enough.
[21:25] ---
    What are you talking about?! You, too?!
[21:27] ---
    Are you satisfied with that judgment?!
[21:31] ---
    If you barge in on them like that,
[21:33] ---
    they'll give you the
    same punishment as Shindou.
[21:41] ---
    Why is this happening?
[21:45] ---
    Why?!
[21:55] [SONG] ---
    Chrono Shindou
[21:56] ---
    It seems fate won't let you
    choose the easy path...
[22:02] ---
    ...Chrono Shindou.
[23:56] ---
    I just don't understand it!
[23:58] ---
    I'm going to convince them
    to cancel his punishment!
[24:01] ---
    I don't think you should.
[24:02] ---
    Fate has already reached a conclusion.
    It can't be overturned now.
[24:06] ---
    So, what, you're fine with this?!
[24:08] ---
    After we came this far...
[24:10] ---
    I never said I was fine with this.
[24:12] ---
    I'm frustrated, too.
[24:14] ---
    But if we continue to act out of anger,
    it'll just make things worse.
[24:18] ---
    You're right.
SIGN    Messiah
[24:20] ---
    I'm sorry.
[24:21] ---
    What's going to happen next?
