[00:01] ---
It's the third day of the first stage!
[00:04] ---
And we are down to the last
seven teams to clear the stage!
[00:08] ---
The fights between players trying to
clear the stage will continue today!
[00:13] ---
Hooray, hooray! Go, go!
Vanguard! Don't lose! Amigo!
[00:23] ---
Judge call in West-A, block 6.
[00:25] ---
It seems the fighters are arguing
about the interpretation of a rule.
[00:29] ---
Please hurry.
[00:31] ---
If you need to, check
the recording of the fight.
[00:34] ---
What about the Drop Zone's AC?
[00:36] ---
It has been resolved. There is no problem.
[00:43] ---
Seems there's no problem with the
lighting of North-E, block 3 at the moment.
[00:48] ---
I see.
[00:49] ---
Please perform maintenance there
after the tournament today.
[00:53] ---
Chief, I'm sorry for
making you do all this.
[00:57] ---
I don't mind. It's not like you've had any
rest since the tournament began either.
[01:02] ---
It's my job.
[01:04] ---
It's all so we can make a place for the
future Vanguard fighters to do their best.
[01:10] ---
There's nothing as fun as this.
[01:12] ---
You're right.
[01:24] ---
Sorry.
[01:29] ---
Katsuragi, what's wrong?
[01:31] ---
Ibuki. Sorry, Chrono found me out.
[03:11] ---
Sorry!
[03:13] ---
We won so you could
come back straight away,
[03:19] ---
but you need to do better.
[03:22] ---
Now, now, Kazuma.
[03:23] ---
Even Chrono loses sometimes.
[03:27] ---
I'll flatten my next opponent!
[03:29] ---
You better.
We don't have any leeway left.
[03:32] ---
Oh! Team Demise NEO has
just cleared the first stage!
[03:37] ---
There are now only six places left!
[03:40] ---
It'll be fine! There's no way
Chrono would lose twice in a row!
[03:48] ---
I'm so happy I could enter on
the same team as Kamui!
[03:53] ---
This is all thanks to Ibuki, too!
SIGN Turn 22 Creeping Menace
[04:03] ---
Attack Vanguard with
Death Star-vader, Chaos Universe!
[04:12] ---
Ah...I lost!
[04:16] ---
Yay!
[04:17] ---
I lost completely.
[04:18] ---
Your deck completely outshined mine.
[04:22] ---
Thank you!
[04:33] ---
What's wrong?
[04:35] ---
Didn't you hear a voice just now?
[04:38] ---
No?
[04:53] ---
What is Ibuki doing?
[04:55] ---
He hasn't got involved in
anything dangerous, has he?
[05:00] ---
He is in a position
with responsibilities now
[05:03] ---
and there might be stuff
he has to keep secret...
[05:07] ---
but why does he try to
shoulder everything by himself?
[05:14] ---
I'm sure it came from this direction...
[05:22] ---
Wow!
I never knew they had anything like this!
[05:29] ---
Is there someone inside it?
[05:50] ---
A whiteout?
[06:01] ---
The emergency power has come online.
[06:04] ---
What happened?
[06:05] ---
There was a large-scale system error.
[06:08] ---
The Fidar system and the
cameras inside the hall are all down.
[06:13] ---
Finally someone's appeared.
[06:15] ---
Someone who can hear the
voice from beyond that doorway.
[06:18] ---
The program is running as planned.
[06:22] ---
We have 30 minutes before
the system is restored.
[06:25] ---
That's plenty of time.
[06:27] ---
I don't care about your mission.
[06:30] ---
Just don't destroy the U20.
[06:33] ---
I haven't had enough fun yet.
[06:37] ---
Be careful. Ibuki has started
to realize what we're doing.
[06:40] ---
The Messiah's vanguard, huh?
[06:43] ---
It's not a problem.
[06:52] ---
This interference
must also be his doing...
[06:55] ---
Anjou, please take care of this.
[06:57] ---
I'm going to see
the situation on the field.
[07:00] ---
This is Anjou from the management team.
A large-scale system error has occurred.
[07:05] ---
Great, we're stuck.
[07:06] ---
Stop your fight and remain where you are.
[07:09] ---
What's that?
[07:10] ---
Kazumi Onimaru?
[07:15] ---
Hey, Onimaru!
[07:18] ---
Kazumi Onimaru, right?
[07:20] ---
Chrono...Shindou?
[07:22] ---
You cleared the stage ages ago.
Why are you down here?
[07:27] ---
Well...That's right.
[07:30] ---
Because I cleared it in a single day,
[07:33] ---
I didn't have any time to
enjoy this amazingly grand stage.
[07:39] ---
I snuck down here to see it
but look what happened.
[07:44] ---
I'm so unlucky.
[07:46] ---
How about you?
Are you enjoying the first stage?
[07:51] ---
Yeah!
[07:52] ---
I couldn't clear it on
the first day though.
[07:56] ---
On the next stage, I'll surely...
[08:01] ---
Over there is Nova Grappler, I think?
It's amazing.
[08:05] ---
H-Hey! The announcement said not to move!
[08:08] ---
Its fine. I'm not going far.
[08:10] ---
Yes you are!
[08:13] ---
What are you doing over there?
[08:21] ---
Ibuki?
[08:23] ---
Chrono?
[08:40] ---
What are you doing in a place like this?
[08:46] ---
That should be our line.
What's going on?
[08:52] ---
We're dealing with it.
[08:54] ---
It must be serious if the
HQ Chief himself is here.
[08:59] ---
I thought we asked people who have
cleared a stage not to re-enter it?
[09:03] ---
I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself.
[09:05] ---
You can tell me all about it later.
For now, you'll come with me.
[09:09] ---
Oh no, I couldn't keep you any longer.
[09:12] ---
I'll leave immediately.
[09:16] ---
See you at the next stage, then.
[09:18] ---
Y-Yeah! I'll win for sure next time!
Just you wait!
[09:23] ---
Next time...?
[09:24] ---
What's up with you?
[09:26] ---
What do you mean by "next time"?
[09:28] ---
He came to Capital and
challenged me to a fight.
[09:32] ---
It was a bit before the U20 started.
[09:36] ---
It couldn't be...
[09:37] ---
He wasn't aiming just for the
U20, but for Chrono as well?
[09:41] ---
I think you'll come with me after all.
[09:43] ---
We don't know what will happen
before the system is restored.
[09:47] ---
You needn't worry about me so much.
[09:50] ---
It's alright. I can make my own way out.
[09:53] ---
It's our job to ensure
the safety of the fighters.
[09:57] ---
That aside, your fights on the
first day were magnicicent.
[10:01] ---
Thank you.
[10:02] ---
H-Hey!
[10:04] ---
You stay here.
[10:08] ---
We honestly didn't expect a team
to clear the stage on the first day.
[10:12] ---
You're amazing.
[10:13] ---
No, I still have a long way to go.
[10:16] ---
By the way, Chief Ibuki,
did you quit being a clan leader?
[10:21] ---
I'm looking for someone to replace me
but it's quite difficult.
[10:27] ---
Wait! Hey!
[10:34] ---
I always wanted to fight you, Chief Ibuki.
[10:38] ---
But is it alright? At a time like this.
[10:42] ---
No problem,
I have excellent people working for me.
[10:46] ---
How did this happen?
[10:49] ---
You don't really have to be here though...
[10:52] ---
You can't see without this, can you?
[10:56] ---
Now then, shall we begin?
[11:05] ---
Rock-Paper-Scissors.
[11:09] ---
I lost again.
[11:13] ---
I'll go first then.
[11:18] ---
I'll keep my hand as it is.
[11:23] ---
I'll exchange two cards.
[11:26] ---
How is this year's U20
compared to last year?
[11:30] ---
I'm having fun.
[11:32] ---
I'm very grateful to you and
everyone in the association.
[11:38] ---
Stand Up!
[11:39] ---
The Vanguard!
[11:42] ---
Neon Messiah.
[11:44] ---
Stealth Rogue of the Wintry Wind,
Kamojigusa.
[11:50] ---
So this is Chief Ibuki's Messiah?
[11:59] ---
Ride!
[12:02] ---
Asleep Messiah!
[12:04] ---
I move Neon Messiah.
[12:08] ---
Ride!
[12:12] ---
Stealth Dragon, Chigiregumo!
[12:14] ---
I move Kamojigusa.
[12:16] ---
The U20...
[12:18] ---
Where future fighters compete, doing their
best and making each other stronger...
[12:24] ---
There's no other place quite like it.
[12:31] ---
Damage Check.
[12:33] ---
Don't you think so too, Shindou?
[12:36] ---
Y-Yeah...
[12:41] ---
Stand and Draw.
[12:46] ---
Ride. Awaking Messiah.
[12:49] ---
Call. Lady Battler of the Black Dwarf.
[12:53] ---
I'm the same.
[12:55] ---
I've met many people here
[12:58] ---
and everyone has fought so emotionally.
[13:01] ---
It made me think about
how amazing Vanguard is.
[13:05] ---
I want to become stronger too!
[13:07] ---
That is precisely what our ideal is.
[13:10] ---
Connecting people through Vanguard.
[13:13] ---
Supporting their wishes
to become stronger.
[13:17] ---
To make a world without sorrow,
[13:19] ---
where anyone can honestly enjoy Vanguard.
[13:24] ---
That is my...our mission.
[13:28] ---
Ibuki...
[13:30] ---
Damage Check.
[13:33] ---
Critical Trigger.
[13:34] ---
All of its effects go to Chigiregumo.
[13:37] ---
Attack Vanguard with Black Dwarf.
[13:41] ---
I won't forgive anyone, who gets in
the way of that. Whoever they are.
[13:47] ---
Guard.
[13:55] ---
Turn End.
[13:58] ---
I understand what you are saying.
[14:01] ---
I'm also someone who wants
to create that world.
[14:06] ---
Ride.
[14:08] ---
Stealth Beast, Tamahagane.
[14:11] ---
Tamahagane's Skill.
[14:13] ---
Choose one enemy Rear-guard and Bind it.
[14:21] ---
I want to grasp my future with
my own hands, to build it myself.
[14:26] ---
That's why I'm looking for comrades
[14:29] ---
who will join us and help me
lead people to that future.
[14:33] ---
Guard!
[14:39] ---
But to be honest,
I am despairing a little.
[14:44] ---
The level here is just too low.
[14:49] ---
There don't seem to be any people
I'd be willing to entrust our future to.
[14:56] ---
I was dreaming.
[14:58] ---
I thought this was a more noble world.
[15:01] ---
That dreams and aspirations
create the future.
[15:04] ---
That a strong,
unwavering world was waiting.
[15:08] ---
So your expectations were off?
[15:13] ---
Attack, Tamahagane!
[15:18] ---
There are even people who
win simply through luck.
[15:25] ---
That's true...
[15:26] ---
In the end, the ones with true strength
are the only ones who win.
[15:32] ---
I hope so.
[15:34] ---
Turn End.
[15:35] ---
The Bound Black Dwarf goes to your hand.
[15:39] ---
I have less than six cards in my
hand, so Afterimage activates.
[15:42] ---
Kamojigusa and Nibikatabira
return to my hand.
[15:48] ---
It's the same as when he fought me.
[15:55] ---
Ride.
[15:58] ---
Alter Ego Messiah.
[16:01] ---
Call.
[16:02] ---
Lady Battler of the Black Dwarf.
Arrester Messiah.
[16:10] ---
Alter Ego Messiah...
[16:13] ---
Attack Vanguard with Arrester.
[16:18] ---
Guard.
[16:21] ---
And it's not as if there is
absolutely no one with potential.
[16:30] ---
Attack Vanguard with Alter Ego.
[16:35] ---
No Guard.
[16:37] ---
I've been watching your fights
from above all this time.
[16:41] ---
You're like a different person from
when we fought in Card Capital.
[16:49] ---
Twin Drive.
[16:50] ---
Second Check. Critical Trigger.
[16:53] ---
The Power goes to
Lady Battler of the Black Dwarf.
[16:56] ---
The Critical goes to Alter Ego.
[17:01] ---
Damage Check.
[17:05] ---
Heal Trigger.
[17:08] ---
Recover one damage.
[17:11] ---
The Power goes to my Vanguard.
[17:13] ---
Attack Vanguard with Black Dwarf.
[17:19] ---
Seems there was a change in your favor.
[17:22] ---
I'm probably the same as you.
[17:25] ---
I've felt it ever since I came here.
[17:28] ---
Everyone is chasing their own
futures as hard as they can.
[17:32] ---
I can't afford to lose too!
[17:35] ---
I'll grasp my future with my own hands
and create it together with my friends!
[17:41] ---
Turn End.
[17:44] ---
I'm very grateful that you entered the U20.
[17:49] ---
Please follow the path you believe in.
[17:54] ---
Ride.
[18:00] ---
Stealth Dragon, Shiranui.
[18:02] ---
And when you have become
a fighter worthy of us,
[18:06] ---
please show me your power
again, Chrono Shindou.
[18:12] ---
Yeah! I'll catch up with you for sure!
[18:23] ---
Generation Zone!
[18:26] ---
Release!
[18:27] ---
Stride Generation!
[18:38] ---
We apologize for the delay.
[18:40] ---
The system has been restored.
[18:42] ---
Everyone, please resume your fights.
[18:47] ---
It seems this is as far as we go.
[18:51] ---
Seems so.
[18:52] ---
It was fun.
[18:54] ---
Well then, Shindou.
I'll see you at the next stage.
[18:58] ---
Y-Yeah!
[19:05] ---
It seems the fights have been
resumed without any problems.
[19:09] ---
Let's cheer for them
as much as we can, Jaime!
[19:13] ---
Leave it to me, amigo!
[19:15] ---
Hooray, hooray! Go, go!
Vanguard! Don't lose! Oh yeah!
[19:19] ---
There's something between
you and Onimaru, isn't there?
[19:24] ---
Is that why you got Kamui
and the others involved?
[19:28] ---
Are you going to say nothing again?!
[19:30] ---
No, I don't have any real evidence. Yet.
[19:34] ---
It's vague and still at the stage where
I can't say anything for certain.
[19:38] ---
But there is something, isn't there?
So why?
[19:42] ---
I didn't want to get you involved.
[19:44] ---
Not when you're doing your
best to challenge the U20.
[19:49] ---
I didn't want to spoil that
with my vague suspicions.
[19:55] ---
You'd just got back a world where
you could freely enjoy Vanguard.
[19:59] ---
I hope there'll be no problems.
[20:01] ---
Even so, you were just going to
shoulder everything by yourself again?
[20:06] ---
I'm sorry.
[20:07] ---
Don't apologize for that! It's weird.
[20:13] ---
So?
[20:14] ---
I can't tell you much here.
I also have things to prepare.
[20:18] ---
After the first stage is finished,
I'll make some time for you.
[20:22] ---
Alright. I'd better hurry up
and clear this stage then.
[20:27] ---
There aren't many places left. Hurry.
[20:29] ---
I know that!
[20:38] ---
I've reconfigured the settings.
[20:41] ---
I can fool the cameras in
that area for 10 seconds.
[20:44] ---
That's plenty of time.
[20:46] ---
Understood.
[21:07] ---
Someone finally came!
[21:09] ---
What is this place?
[21:11] ---
Oh yeah, did you hear
a voice on your way here?
[21:14] ---
It sounded like it was coming
from somewhere far.
[21:17] ---
So you can hear it.
[21:20] ---
The resonance of souls
crossing space and time.
[21:24] ---
The voice of your other self.
[21:39] ---
What is this?!
[21:44] ---
Come!
[21:45] ---
Come by the guidance of my master,
to the vessel of your other self!
[21:51] ---
Different World Ride!
[21:53] ---
Star-vader, Chaos Breaker Dragon!
[22:13] ---
Now then...How many exist in this world?
[22:19] ---
How many toys are there to entertain me?
[23:55] ---
Alright! Let's clear the
first stage in one go now!
[23:59] ---
It's the second half of the third day.
[24:01] ---
If we're seriously aiming to win,
we have to start moving up now.
[24:05] ---
Shut up!
[24:06] ---
If it weren't for this annoying rule,
we'd have won already!
[24:10] ---
I told you.
[24:11] ---
Only the truly strong can display
their power in any situation.
[24:16] ---
Alright! We'll show you our power!
Just wait!
SIGN TURN 23 Strong, Violent, and Beautiful
[24:21] ---
Yeah. I'm looking forward to it.
