[00:01] ---
    Ah! Hurry!!
[00:04] ---
    I can't believe we're late to the tournament
    because of morning training!
[00:10] ---
    If we hadn't been held up there...
[00:12] ---
    That policeman was sure you
    were taking money from us.
[00:18] ---
    He thought you were!
[00:20] ---
    Well...I guess if you're fighting elementary
    school kids outside, it's to be expected.
[00:24] ---
    I'm in middle school!
[00:27] ---
    Alright! We're here!
[00:31] ---
    Geez...
[00:33] ---
    We're warmed up now though, thanks
    to morning training and that dash!
[00:37] ---
    I guess so.
[00:40] ---
    What's up, Taiyou?
[00:42] ---
    We'll leave you behind.
[00:45] ---
    Please wait!
[02:19] ---
    It's the fourth day of the
    first stage of the U20!
[02:23] ---
    We have the HQ leader,
    Kouji Ibuki with us today!
[02:28] ---
    Now then, with Tokoha Anjou's
    win at the end of the third day,
[02:32] ---
    Jaime Flowers proceeded to the next stage
[02:35] ---
    and there are now only two
    tickets to the second stage remaining!
[02:39] ---
    Whether for good or bad,
    the first stage is almost over!
[02:45] ---
    Over here.
[02:46] ---
    Enjoy the show.
[02:51] ---
    Attack Vanguard with
    Dragonic Vanquisher "VMAX"!
[02:56] ---
    I am the glorious Fukuhara Vanguard club's
[02:59] ---
    president!
[03:03] ---
    The winner is Henri Hayao!
[03:06] ---
    He gets a ton of points
    with a come back from behind!
[03:09] ---
    Alright!
[03:10] ---
    Damn it! We almost cleared the stage!
[03:18] ---
    Hey! Don't think I owe you anyth-
[03:21] ---
    Senpai.
[03:23] ---
    Let's continue this later.
[03:25] ---
    We don't have time to dawdle here.
[03:29] ---
    How dare you, slave...
[03:31] ---
    I won't forget this!
[03:36] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Luminous Hope!
[03:45] ---
    Shion Kiba has also gained some points!
SIGN    Turn 24 The Knights Swear Victory Upon Their Swords
[03:57] ---
    Points are changing drastically.
    We're down to the wire now.
[04:02] ---
    There are only two places left.
[04:03] ---
    I never thought it would take us
    this long to clear the stage.
[04:07] ---
    We can't afford to lose a single match!
[04:11] ---
    There's a fighter nearby?!
[04:16] ---
    Shion!
[04:18] ---
    Taiyou!
[04:20] ---
    Oh! We've got a fateful fight right here!
[04:25] ---
    Fukuhara High school's Shion Kiba vs
[04:28] ---
    Team Striders' Taiyou Asukawa!
[04:32] ---
    Shion...Taiyou...
[04:35] ---
    This will be a fight that decides if they
    can clear the stage for both fighters!
[04:39] ---
    That's not all.
[04:41] ---
    Kiba and Asukawa both have
    a large amount of points.
[04:44] ---
    If they lose, those points will be taken,
[04:46] ---
    and they will be further away from
    being able to clear the stage.
[04:50] ---
    We can surely call this a fateful fight!
[04:55] ---
    Taiyou...
[05:00] ---
    I never thought my last opponent
    would be you, Taiyou.
[05:05] ---
    Last?
[05:06] ---
    Haven't you considered that I might win?
[05:10] ---
    Let's begin.
[05:13] ---
    Stand Up! The Vanguard!
[05:17] ---
    Knight of Early Dawn, Coel!
[05:20] ---
    Knight of Discipline, Alectos!
[05:24] ---
    It's my turn first. Draw!
[05:30] ---
    Ride! Knight of Spring Sun, Conanus!
[05:35] ---
    Ride!
[05:36] ---
    Knight of Respect, Diotius!
[05:41] ---
    Fukuhara High school was once a
    strong team that won the VF Circuit!
[05:47] ---
    Many people are watching all over the
    country to see if they are rising again!
[05:52] ---
    Kiba! Taiyou!
[05:54] ---
    Do your best, both of you!
[05:57] ---
    Taiyou anticipated that
    he'd fight us in the U20.
[06:03] ---
    I'm sure he has also studied Shion.
[06:07] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Albion!
[06:10] ---
    No Guard!
[06:13] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Twin Sword!
[06:15] ---
    Guard!
[06:17] ---
    Shion is strong.
[06:19] ---
    There is an incredible difference
    in our abilities and experience.
[06:25] ---
    If I'm to have any chance, it will
    be when Shion goes on the attack!
[06:29] ---
    Turn End.
[06:31] ---
    Taiyou...
[06:33] ---
    You have formed a plan based on
    what Chrono has told you about us.
[06:38] ---
    That's why you beat Tokoha.
[06:42] ---
    I can easily imagine that.
[06:44] ---
    I am fully aware of it.
[06:46] ---
    He's seen through me completely!
[06:49] ---
    No...But!
[06:52] ---
    Shine down, a new light!
[06:55] ---
    Ride!
[07:03] ---
    Golden Holy Sword, Gurguit!
[07:08] ---
    I'll play my best with every move!
[07:10] ---
    I won't let even the
    smallest chance slip by!
[07:13] ---
    Attack Vanguard!
[07:18] ---
    That's the only way I can win!
[07:34] ---
    Reign supreme, my new sword!
[07:37] ---
    Ride!
[07:38] ---
    Knight of Heavenly Decree, Altmile!
[07:41] ---
    Now! Each fighter has a Grade 3 Unit!
[07:44] ---
    Don't look away from this fight
    that will decide their fates!
[07:48] ---
    The damage is currently two to three,
    with Taiyou Asukawa leading!
[07:52] ---
    Stride Generation!
[07:55] ---
    Blazing Sword, Fides!

[08:27] ---
    Heal Trigger! Recover one damage!
[08:30] ---
    The Power goes to Albion!
[08:32] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Albion!
[08:37] ---
    The sixth turn is over and Taiyou
    Asukawa has four damage.
[08:41] ---
    Shion Kiba has made a comeback
    with two damage!
[08:43] ---
    Asukawa is being pushed back.
[08:46] ---
    Only two places left...
[08:48] ---
    If we don't clear the first stage,
[08:51] ---
    our U20 will end here.
[08:54] ---
    No!
[08:55] ---
    I want to fight more
    with Chrono and Kazuma!
[09:00] ---
    I want to fight much more with them!
[09:03] ---
    Release Generation Zone!
[09:05] ---
    Stride Generation!
[09:12] ---
    Holy Sword of Heavenly Law, Gurguit!
[09:17] ---
    Stride Skill!
[09:20] ---
    Look at the top four cards in my deck
    and Superior Call one of them!
[09:25] ---
    I Called a Unit with Unite, so I can
    Superior Call another Unit to Rest.
[09:31] ---
    Unite requirements achieved!
[09:33] ---
    Add 3000 Power to Gerrie!
[09:35] ---
    Coel's Unite!
[09:37] ---
    Look at the top three cards of my deck
    and Superior Call one of them!
[09:41] ---
    Add 2000 Power!
[09:43] ---
    Holy Sword of Heavenly Law,
    Gurguit's Skill!
[09:47] ---
    For every Holy Sword of Heavenly
    Law, Gurguit in my G-Zone,
[09:51] ---
    Add 2000 Power to each of his allies!
[09:54] ---
    Attack Twin Sword with Perimore!
[10:00] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Holy Sword
    of Heavenly Law, Gurguit!
[10:04] ---
    Unite!
[10:05] ---
    Superior Call Kinarius!
[10:10] ---
    Perfect Guard!
[10:17] ---
    Triple Drive!
[10:18] ---
    Second Check!
[10:19] ---
    Critical Trigger!
[10:21] ---
    All of its effects go to Pwyll!
[10:23] ---
    Third Check!
[10:24] ---
    Critical Trigger!
    All of its effects go to Pwyll as well!
[10:28] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Pwyll!
[10:31] ---
    Activate Skill!
[10:33] ---
    Superior Call another Gerrie!
[10:35] ---
    Gerrie's Unite! Add 3000 Power!
[10:40] ---
    Generation Guard!

[10:46] ---
    Also Guard with Laurel Knight, Sicilus!
[10:51] ---
    Gerrie's Unite!
[10:53] ---
    Counter Charge!
[10:58] ---
    Wow! Taiyou is on a roll,
    calling more and more Units!
[11:03] ---
    Yeah.
[11:04] ---
    But he's also readying
    his field and hand well.
[11:08] ---
    On the previous turn, the cost of
    Shion Kiba's Generation Guard
[11:12] ---
    was completely nullified by this
    Heal Trigger and Perfect Guard.
[11:15] ---
    So this turn of events is
    bearing all with that in mind?
[11:20] ---
    Yeah.
[11:21] ---
    It's a perfect turn around.
[11:24] ---
    But pushed this far,
    I can't help but respond!
[11:28] ---
    Knight of Heavenly Decree,
    Altmile's Skill!
[11:31] ---
    Superior Call Redon!
[11:32] ---
    Add 4000 Power!
[11:34] ---
    Redon's Skill! Add 3000 Power!
[11:37] ---
    Stride Generation!
[11:40] ---
    Holy Dragon, Brave Lancer Dragon!
[11:44] ---
    Here it is!
[11:45] ---
    Stride Skill!
    Add 4000 Power to Albion!
[11:49] ---
    Call Scouting Owl!
[11:51] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Redon!
[11:54] ---
    Brave Lancer's Brave! Add 3000 Power!
[11:59] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Albion!
[12:02] ---
    Brave Lancer's Brave! Add 3000 Power!
[12:05] ---
    Albion's Skill! Superior Call Redon!
[12:09] ---

[12:35] ---
    Superior Call up to three Units
    with Brave from my deck!
[12:39] ---
    Redon's Skill! Add 3000 Power!
[12:43] ---
    Here it is! Brave Lancer's ultimate Brave!
[12:46] ---
    He must discard the same number of
    cards from his hand, but with no cards,
[12:51] ---
    he has done it without paying a cost!
[12:53] ---
    They're waiting for me!
[12:55] ---
    Fights that will stir my blood like this!
[12:58] ---
    I will go to the second stage!
[13:02] ---
    Perfect Guard!
[13:09] ---
    Triple Drive!
[13:10] ---
    Second Check!
[13:11] ---
    Critical Trigger!
    All of its effects go to Redon!
[13:14] ---
    Third Check! Critical Trigger!
[13:17] ---
    All of its effects go to Suleiman!
[13:19] ---
    Here it is! A double Critical!
[13:22] ---
    Taiyou Asukawa survived the last
    attack with a Perfect Guard,
[13:26] ---
    but he is still in a pinch!
[13:28] ---
    Attacking Brave to attack and changing
    the position of Units that have attacked...
[13:33] ---
    There will be another
    two attacks with Triggers.
[13:37] ---
    And Shion put all of his efforts into attacking.
    He didn't summon any Units to defend with.
[13:43] ---
    He's about to finish this.
[13:47] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Redon!
[13:50] ---
    Brave Lancer's Brave! Add 3000 Power!
[13:54] ---
    Intercept!
[13:56] ---
    Golden Holy Sword, Gurguit's Unite!
[13:59] ---
    All Rear-guards, even those
    in the rear can Intercept!
[14:04] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Suleiman!
[14:06] ---
    Brave Lancer's Brave! Add 3000 Power!
[14:10] ---
    Generation Guard!
[14:11] ---
    What?!
[14:12] ---
    Golden Beast, Sleimy Flare!
[14:15] ---
    Activate Skill!
[14:16] ---
    Look at the top five cards in my deck
[14:18] ---
    and Guard with up to
    two different Grade cards!
[14:25] ---
    He did it!
[14:26] ---
    Taiyou Asukawa's determined
    Guards in the face of despair!
[14:30] ---
    He successfully blocked six consecutive attacks!
[14:34] ---
    Taiyou is amazing!
[14:36] ---
    However, his field is in tatters.
[14:39] ---
    He doesn't have a decent hand left.
[14:41] ---
    Shion Kiba must have wanted
    to finish things in this turn.
[14:45] ---
    But can Taiyou Asukawa
[14:46] ---
    make use of this chance in his next turn?!
[14:52] ---
    Support Sorcerer of Damascus' Brave!
[14:54] ---
    Draw one card and Counter Charge!
[14:57] ---
    *Shion still only has three damage.
    And he probably has a strong defense.
[15:03] ---
    But I'll end this in the next turn!
[15:05] ---
    Stride Generation!
[15:11] ---
    Sunrise Ray Radiant Sword, Gurguit!
[15:16] ---
    Stride Skill!
[15:18] ---
    Superior Call Knight of the Remaining Sun,
    Henrinus and Flame of Victory!
[15:23] ---
    Unite requirements achieved!
[15:26] ---
    Henrinus' Skill!
[15:28] ---
    Superior Call Knight of Daylight,
    Kinarius!
[15:30] ---
    Add 3000 Power!
[15:32] ---
    Kinarius' Skill!
[15:34] ---
    Superior Call
    Player of the Holy Pipe, Gerrie!
[15:37] ---
    Also, Call another Flame!
[15:41] ---
    Taiyou Asukawa's vigorous turn-around!
[15:43] ---
    He has reformed his troops
    which were reduced to zero!
[15:47] ---
    It's a comeback!
[15:52] ---
    Unite!
[15:53] ---
    Add 5000 Power for each Rear-guard!
[15:57] ---
    I have five, so Add 25,000 in total!
[15:59] ---
    Add 5000 Power to each of my Rear-guards!
[16:02] ---
    Flame of Victory's Skill!
[16:05] ---
    Kinarius! Add 3000 Power!
[16:07] ---
    The same Skill activates again!
[16:09] ---
    Kinarius! Add 3000 Power!
[16:14] ---
    And Unite again!
[16:16] ---
    Add 15,000 to itself due to
    three of my Rear-guards!
[16:20] ---
    Add 5000 Power to all of my Rear-guards!
[16:23] ---
    Taiyou Asukawa has paid all of his costs
    and powered up his Units to their limits!
[16:28] ---
    Shion Kiba has suddenly been
    placed in a critical position!
[16:32] ---
    In the finals of the Shop Preliminaries
    I became too nervous
[16:37] ---
    and I lost against Karl
    who gave it his all.
[16:43] ---
    This time I'll give it my all too!
[16:51] ---
    Send Alectos to my Soul!
[16:54] ---
    Alectos' Skill! Draw!
[16:56] ---
    Brave activates during this turn regardless
    of the number of cards in my hand!
[17:00] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Gurguit!
[17:03] ---
    For my team, I'll win and the three of us
[17:06] ---
    will go to the second stage!
[17:09] ---
    If he gets a Damage Trigger,
    I won't have enough Guards!
[17:14] ---
    It won't matter what Trigger he gets.
    If he gets two or more, it's all over.
[17:18] ---
    No Guard!
[17:20] ---
    Triple Drive!
[17:21] ---
    Second Check!
[17:22] ---
    Critical Trigger!
[17:24] ---
    The Critical goes to Gurguit!
    The Power goes to Kinarius!
[17:34] ---
    Third Check!
[17:37] ---
    Damage Check!
[17:41] ---
    Critical Trigger!
[17:44] ---
    Add 5000 Power to my Vanguard!
[17:46] ---
    He got a Damage Trigger!
[17:48] ---
    Now will this be what decides this match?!
[17:52] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Henrinus!
[17:55] ---
    Guard!
[17:56] ---
    Intercept!
[17:57] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Kinarius!
[18:01] ---
    Scouting Owl's Brave!
[18:03] ---
    Add 5000 to the shield!
[18:04] ---
    Also Guard! Intercept!
[18:09] ---
    He made it!
[18:11] ---
    Amazing! Amazing!
    What an incredible fight!
[18:15] ---
    Shion Kiba stopped him
    when all seemed lost!
[18:19] ---
    He's hanging on by the skin of his teeth!
[18:22] ---
    One Trigger to decide
    the fate of this match.
[18:25] ---
    It was a magnificent exchange of blows.
[18:27] ---
    Either player could have won.
[18:30] ---
    His fingers grazed the edge of victory.
[18:33] ---
    He just needed a little more.
[18:36] ---
    Destiny is cynical.
[18:43] ---
    You had me beat in all
    aspects in that last turn.
[18:48] ---
    If I hadn't got that Trigger,
    I would have lost.
[18:52] ---
    Stand and Draw!
[18:55] ---
    In my previous turn, did I
    fail to attack hard enough?
[19:00] ---
    Knight of Heavenly Decree,
    Altmile's Skill!
[19:03] ---
    Superior Call Escort Eagle!
[19:06] ---
    Add 4000 Power!
[19:08] ---

[19:20] ---

    Luminous Hope in my G-Zone!
[19:26] ---
    Add 1000 Power to all Rear-guards with Brave!
[19:29] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Luminous Hope!
[19:32] ---
    Activate Skill!
[19:34] ---
    Superior Call Escort Eagle!
[19:36] ---
    Add one Critical to Luminous Hope!
[19:39] ---
    I'll do my best until the very end!
[19:42] ---
    Guard with Scarface! Jeffrey! Gorboduc!
[19:46] ---
    Requirements achieved!
[19:47] ---
    Golden Holy Sword, Gurguit's Unite!
[19:50] ---
    Intercept with Henrinus! Gerrie! Kinarius!
[19:55] ---
    Triple Drive!
[19:57] ---
    Second Check!
[19:59] ---
    Third Check!
[20:00] ---
    Critical Trigger!
[20:03] ---
    All of its effects go to Luminous Hope!
[20:05] ---
    I respect you, my proud opponent!
[20:24] ---
    That was amazing, Shion!
[20:29] ---
    I never thought...I...Really...
[20:34] ---
    Huh?
[20:37] ---
    You were very strong.
[20:44] ---
    The winner is Shion Kiba!
[20:46] ---
    With this, Fukuhara High school
    Vanguard Club
[20:49] ---
    will proceed to the second stage!
[20:56] ---
    This is the...U20...
[21:00] ---
    I lost!
[21:01] ---
    I couldn't do it!
[21:04] ---
    But!

    Chrono! Kazuma!
[21:09] ---
    Shion!
[21:13] ---
    So you can back up your words after all!
[21:19] ---
    Shion?
[21:21] ---
    I was naive.
[21:23] ---
    You have to increase your results in
    accordance with the regulations.
[21:27] ---
    Or you can't proceed, or even continue fighting!
[21:30] ---
    That is the U20!
[21:33] ---
    We have to change our strategy
    for the second stage!
[21:40] ---
    We are finally down to just
    one place remaining!
[21:43] ---
    Who will be the final team to
    reach the second stage?!
[21:48] ---
    The last one?! Bring it on then!
[21:51] ---
    I refuse to give up!
[21:54] ---
    Stride Generation!
[21:59] ---
    Thank you, Taiyou, for doing your
    best and not losing until now!
[22:10] ---
    You...!
[22:14] ---
    Ah...This is Shindou Chrono?
[23:55] ---
    That was one of the best fights ever!
[23:57] ---
    Asukawa did really well.
[23:59] ---
    That reminds me, I heard that you once
    tutored Taiyou Asukawa personally?
[24:04] ---
    Yeah.
[24:05] ---
    Taking his mistakes in stride,
    he's kept moving forward.
[24:09] ---
    He has the ideal qualities for a fighter.
[24:12] ---
    He is reliable, hates losing,
    and can't eat spicy food.
[24:16] ---
    Here it is! The HQ leader's trivia!
[24:18] ---
    Now, which team will claim the last
    ticket to the second stage?!
