[00:01] ---
    Does everyone have their question
    sheet in front of them?
[00:04] [SONG] ---
    Vanguard Test, Narukami Edition
[00:05] ---
    This is the Narukami edition
    of the Vanguard test.
[00:08] ---
    You clear this quest with
    80 points or higher,
[00:11] ---
    so do your best.
[00:14] [SONG] ---
    Time Limit: 50 minutes
    Passing Grade: 80 Points or Higher
[00:15] ---
    You have 50 minutes. All right...
[00:18] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[01:55] ---
    Here.
[01:57] ---
    Thanks for bringing them here.
[01:59] ---
    Oh, that's right. I heard from Mom.
[02:02] ---
    That you're going to participate in the
    upcoming regional preliminary round.
[02:05] ---
    How many years has it been
    since you were in a tournament, Tokoha?
[02:09] ---
    Good luck.
[02:10] ---
    That information is a little old...
[02:15] ---
    Right now, it's up in the air
    whether our team can enter or not.
[02:18] ---
    All of Shindou's points were stripped away.
[02:21] ---
    His points were stripped away?
[02:21] [SONG] ---
    Emergency Quest
    Increase grade before preliminary tournament!
[02:22] ---
    That's right. There was some trouble at the
    United Sanctuary Branch mini-tournament.
[02:27] ---
    United Sanctuary...
[02:29] ---
    So now he's working like mad
    to try to get to grade 3.
[02:34] ---
    Even today. See?
[02:38] ---
    The good thing about a Vanguard test
[02:40] ---
    is you'll definitely be able to get points,
[02:42] ---
    as long as you study hard.
[02:46] ---
    I got no idea!
[02:49] ---
    All right! Release my brain!
[02:52] ---
    Show me the world I truly desire!
[03:00] ---
    Three... I see.
[03:05] ---
    Although I'm really nervous
[03:08] ---
    about whether he can get any points.
SIGN    Turn 24  Ibuki Versus Mamoru
[03:26] ---
    80 points, huh? That was close.
[03:29] ---
    Close or not, passing is passing.
[03:32] ---
    I got points, so don't complain.
[03:35] ---
    The guy who answers randomly
    has no business sounding high and mighty.
[03:39] ---
    I only did that a few times...
[03:41] ---
    H-How did you know?!
[03:43] ---
    Get it together, man.
[03:45] ---
    Do you really understand
[03:48] ---
    the situation you're in?
[03:50] ---
    Yeah, I understand!
[03:52] ---
    Let's confirm today's schedule.
[03:55] ---
    First, you'll be handing out packets
    of tissue in front of the station
[03:58] ---
    to promote the tournament.
[04:01] ---
    After that, you're fighting an
    older gentleman who lives alone.
[04:05] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[04:07] ---
    While you're there,
    you go to Shinagawa
[04:10] ---
    and participate in a
    shop-sponsored mini-tournament.
[04:13] ---
    You have to win first place there.
[04:16] ---
    Next, you're participating
    in a trash clean-up event.
[04:20] ---
    Following that, it's back home to hand out
    more tissue packets at the station.
[04:25] ---
    When you've got any free time,
    review the Vanguard test in your head.
[04:29] ---
    Maybe he's working too hard...
[04:31] ---
    Yeah...
[04:33] ---
    But in this short time, he made grade 2,
[04:36] ---
    so at this rate, he may be able to do it.
[04:38] ---
    There are still two weeks
    before the tournament.
[04:41] ---
    No, he's got one week.
[04:44] ---
    That's the entry deadline.
[04:46] ---
    I... I see...
[04:48] ---
    Listen.
[04:49] ---
    Right now, you can't blow a single quest.
[04:53] ---
    Get fired up!
[04:55] ---
    Okay! I'll see you later!
[05:02] ---
    This is the result
[05:04] ---
    of the fighter strengthening
    program you created, Ibuki.
[05:07] ---
    As you can see, the results are tremendous.
[05:10] ---
    It's totally different when
    they send someone over from HQ.
[05:14] ---
    It really is amazing.
[05:31] ---
    Yes?
[05:33] ---
    Chronojet Dragon attacks your Vanguard!
[05:42] ---
    Gramps, no disrespect,
    but could you hurry it up?
[05:46] ---
    I don't have much time...
[05:51] ---
    Boy.
[05:55] ---
    You want a sweet bean bun?
[06:03] ---
    That took more time than expected!
[06:06] ---
    Shindou!
[06:12] ---
    What are you doing here?
[06:14] ---
    I figured you could use a lift to Shinagawa.
[06:16] ---
    It's faster that way.
[06:18] ---
    Iwakura, give him a ride.
[06:20] ---
    He is in good hands.
[06:22] ---
    This takes me back to the days when I was
    known as the Wolf of Shuto Expressway.
[06:26] ---
    Just make sure you drive safely.
[06:29] ---
    Are you going, too?
[06:31] ---
    Sorry. I have something else to do.
[06:34] ---
    So I'll use this to take the train home.
[06:37] ---
    This'll be the first time I've ever used it!
[06:41] ---
    I'm looking forward to it!
[06:42] ---
    You're in a good mood.
[06:44] ---
    Young Master, please be careful.
[06:53] ---
    Good evening.
[06:54] ---
    Welcome. Your guest is already here.
[06:58] ---
    The room in the back, right through here.
[07:00] ---
    Thank you.
[07:04] ---
    Sorry for inviting you so last-minute.
[07:08] ---
    No problem.
[07:11] ---
    Cheers.
[07:19] ---
    Very nice balance.
[07:23] ---
    How old are you again, Ibuki?
[07:25] ---
    20.
[07:27] ---
    Really? Four years younger than me?
[07:30] ---
    You're so laid back that
    I thought you were my age.
[07:34] ---
    The opinions you voice at the
    liaison councils are even-handed, too.
[07:38] ---
    This is good.
[07:40] ---
    The chef gets them directly from a
    fisherman in Oma he's friends with.
[07:45] ---
    I see.
[07:49] ---
    The sashimi soy sauce is also
    the chef's original blend,
[07:52] ---
    with sake and broth added to it.
[07:57] ---
    But be that as it may,
[07:59] ---
    as long as we're here,
[08:01] ---
    how about having a little fun?
[08:04] ---
    Good idea.
[08:10] ---
    Ragla boosts.
[08:12] ---
    Doha attacks your Vanguard with 15000.
[08:18] ---
    No guard.
[08:21] ---
    Drive check. Draw trigger.
[08:24] ---
    I give the +5000 to Imahd
[08:26] ---
    and draw one card.
[08:28] ---
    Damage check.
[08:31] ---
    Lava Flow boosts.
[08:33] ---
    Imahd attacks your Vanguard.
[08:36] ---
    21000, huh?
[08:40] ---
    Excuse me.
[08:42] ---
    Here is the fugu sashimi.
[08:44] ---
    You're going at it, eh?
[08:46] ---
    Chef, I'll have one more of these.
[08:49] ---
    How about you, Ibuki?
[08:50] ---
    The same. No guard.
[08:53] ---
    Damage check.
[08:55] ---
    Turn end.
[09:01] ---
    Gear Chronicle...
[09:06] ---
    I wonder if you remember him.
[09:07] ---
    The boy who fought
    Jaime Alcaraz with that deck.
[09:11] ---
    You came to see that fight, didn't you?
[09:14] ---
    Yeah.
[09:16] ---
    The other day, that very same boy
[09:19] ---
    was at a mini-tournament
    sponsored by United Sanctuary,
[09:22] ---
    and had all of his points
    taken away as punishment.
[09:25] ---
    Yeah. I know.
[09:27] ---
    I ride Awaking Messiah.
[09:30] ---
    I call Duskblade.
[09:33] ---
    I don't think it's worth fussing over.
[09:36] ---
    I attack your rear-guard.
[09:38] ---
    Guard.
[09:42] ---
    Are you interested?
[09:45] ---
    Actually, he's my little sister's teammate.
[09:50] ---
    So that's what this is about.
[09:52] ---
    Neon Messiah boosts.
[09:54] ---
    Awaking attacks your Vanguard.
[09:57] ---
    You want to protest the ruling
     and change my mind.
[10:02] ---
    No. I heard the circumstances
    of what happened.
[10:05] ---
    I think the penalty was appropriate.
[10:08] ---
    It's just that the timing isn't great.
[10:11] ---
    To be honest, I feel sorry for them.
[10:14] ---
    When I look at them trying desperately
    to get into the regional preliminaries...
[10:19] ---
    Whatever the adverse circumstances, I'm
    sure he'll claw his way up from the bottom.
[10:23] ---
    If that boy truly is a fighter
    with possibilities...
[10:34] [SONG] ---
    Anjou-style
     Vanguard Test
[10:34] ---
    Question. What are the power and shield
    values for Perdition Mage, Asticah?
[10:39] ---
    The power is 10000 and shield is 5000.
[10:42] ---
    Correct.
[10:43] ---
    Okay, next. Explain Dragonic
    Overlord The End's effect.
[10:50] ---
    If your opponent's Vanguard
    is grade 3 or higher,
[10:56] ---
    you can return four cards from
    the Drop Zone to your deck
[11:02] ---
    and do Legion with a designated card!
[11:06] ---
    Wrong. That's "The Cross."
[11:09] ---
    That one...
[11:11] ---
    There are so many Overlords...
[11:15] ---
    But I've gotta get 'em down in my head.
[11:18] ---
    Normally, you'd remember
    automatically, through fighting.
[11:22] ---
    But it hasn't been long
    since you started Vanguard,
[11:25] ---
    and right now, there isn't time.
[11:27] ---
    Even though I'm good at
    remembering through practice...
[11:31] ---
    I wanna fight!
[11:34] ---
    Are you doing okay?
[11:36] ---
    Why are you suddenly concerned?
[11:38] ---
    Recently, you've had an overloaded schedule
[11:41] ---
    and you were booked solid today too, right?
[11:43] ---
    No need to worry about me.
[11:46] ---
    You guys have been a big help.
[11:49] ---
    I swear I'll get up to grade 3.
[11:54] ---
    Okay then, next question.
[11:55] ---
    Let me have it!
[12:09] ---
    Turn end.
[12:10] ---
    Stand and draw.
[12:13] ---
    How is United Sanctuary these days?
[12:15] ---
    What do you mean?
[12:17] ---
    I've heard some nasty rumors.
[12:20] ---
    Is that right?
[12:22] ---
    Ride. Generation Zone release.
[12:28] ---
    Stride Generation.
[12:30] ---
    Genesis Dragon...
[12:33] ---
    ...Amnesty Messiah.
[12:36] ---
    Why don't you spell it out for me?
[12:38] ---
    I guess you'd call it a
    "win-at-all-costs" attitude.
[12:41] ---
    That you're putting too much
    emphasis on winning over there.
[12:44] ---
    That cheating at the mini-tournament,
[12:47] ---
    maybe United Sanctuary's principles
    indirectly caused it to happen.
[12:52] ---
    Stride skill.
[12:53] ---
    Lock.
[12:56] ---
    I give +5000 power to Amnesty.
[13:00] ---
    Call.
[13:01] ---
    Lady Battler of the White Dwarf.
[13:04] ---
    Lady Battler boosts.
[13:07] ---
    Duskblade attacks.
[13:08] ---
    Skill activated. I lock Imahd.
[13:14] ---
    Guard!
[13:17] ---
    All of the branches are known
    to have their own identity.
[13:22] ---
    I am aware of the category we fall in...
[13:25] ---
    ...and have no problems with it.
[13:27] ---
    I attack Dragonic Blade Master.
[13:30] ---
    Amnesty Messiah's skill.
    I unlock three units.
[13:38] ---
    Amnesty's power increases by +9000.
[13:41] ---
    And a critical on top of that.
[13:52] ---
    No guard.
[13:54] ---
    Triple drive.
[13:58] ---
    Critical trigger.
[13:59] ---
    I give all of the effects to Amnesty.
[14:07] ---
    Power 45000 and critical 3...
[14:11] ---
    You almost had me there.
[14:12] ---
    I thought I did have you.
[14:15] ---
    Turn end.
[14:16] ---
    Stand and draw.
[14:20] ---
    Perhaps the problem isn't with us,
[14:22] ---
    but with you, Dragon Empire?
[14:25] ---
    Your merrymaking events
    are all well and good,
[14:27] ---
    but too much of it, and it simply becomes
    indulging in horseplay.
[14:30] ---
    Well, our basic policy is to have fun.
[14:36] ---
    Generation Zone, release.
[14:40] ---
    Stride Generation!
[14:46] ---
    Divine Dragon Knight...
[14:49] ---
    ...Mustafa!
[14:52] ---
    I call Gyokuryu!
[14:55] ---
    Mustafa's skill activated!
[14:58] ---
    I retire Duskblade!
[15:02] ---
    I think...
[15:04] ---
    ...a fighter's possibilities are
    born out of their enjoyment.
[15:10] ---
    Vanguard's future, too.
[15:12] ---
    Heroic Saga attacks!
[15:16] ---
    And helping with that
[15:20] ---
    is my role!
[15:26] ---
    Perfect guard.
[15:28] ---
    Triple drive!
[15:32] ---
    Double critical trigger!
[15:36] ---
    I give the effects to Imahd!
[15:49] ---
    Guard.
[15:52] ---
    Turn end.
[15:59] ---
    It's my turn.
[16:01] ---
    Stand and draw.
[16:05] ---
    Well, that was fun.
[16:08] ---
    Let's hang out again sometime.
[16:10] ---
    Yeah. Invite me again.
[16:12] ---
    See you.
[16:17] ---
    Mamoru Anjou...
[16:19] ---
    He's trustworthy,
[16:22] ---
    but right now...
[16:25] ---
    Oh, yeah, I heard.
[16:28] ---
    You used Kiba's car to get to the quest?
[16:31] ---
    Going in style!
[16:33] ---
    That was just for today.
    I'm taking the train tomorrow.
[16:35] ---
    Why?
[16:37] ---
    Kiba said you could use the car as much
    as you want 'til you get to grade 3.
[16:42] ---
    It makes me nervous.
    I'm more comfortable on a train.
[16:45] ---
    Well, I'm with you there.
[16:47] ---
    But don't get so comfy you fall asleep.
[16:50] ---
    It'd be a bad joke if you were like,
    "I couldn't do the quest 'cause I missed my stop."
[16:55] ---
    Like I'm that much of an idiot?
[17:01] ---
    Kichijoji. Kichijoji.
[17:09] ---
    That was close!
[17:10] ---
    I didn't even realize I fell asleep!
SIGN    Harmonica Yokocho Entrance
[17:19] ---
    If I complete all of today's quests,
[17:21] ---
    I'll be really close to grade 3!
[17:24] ---
    I'm gonna do it!
[17:33] ---
    Mama!
[17:36] ---
    Mama, where are you?!
[17:39] ---
    Mama!
[17:48] ---
    Welcome!
[17:50] ---
    Hi, Chrono!
[17:52] ---
    Shindou?!
[17:54] ---
    What are you doing?! The schedule has
    you in the middle of a quest right now!
[17:58] ---
    What is this? What happened?!
[18:03] ---
    We can't understand
    if you don't say anything!
[18:05] ---
    As your teammates,
    we have a right to know!
[18:08] ---
    Shindou!
[18:11] ---
    Actually...
[18:15] ---
    You're kidding, right?
[18:16] ---
    You hung out with a lost kid
    and blew off all the quests...
[18:21] ---
    I'm sorry!
[18:22] ---
    Why didn't you just take him
     right to the police?!
[18:24] ---
    I did!
[18:27] ---
    But he...
[18:31] ---
    ...wouldn't let go of my hand,
    even at the police box.
[18:36] ---
    So I waited with him
    until his mom picked him up.
[18:38] ---
    Mama!
[18:40] ---
    Kids like you too much!
[18:44] ---
    Can't be helped.
[18:45] ---
    Any situation can be derailed
    by unavoidable events.
[18:48] ---
    Let's rework the schedule.
[18:50] ---
    Let's look for any quest
[18:52] ---
    that you can do right now.
[19:00] ---
    I don't have any complaints
    about the event...
[19:03] ---
    ...but this is really sudden.
[19:05] ---
    Can you get it set up in time?
[19:08] ---
    Don't push yourself so hard.
    Why not wait 'til next month for this?
[19:11] ---
    There would be no point then.
[19:14] ---
    I know where you're coming from, but...
[19:17] ---
    You can do it?
[19:18] ---
    I can.
