**[00:06] ---**
There are more participants than I imagined.
**[00:08] ---**
That's perfect for us!
**[00:11] ---**
I'll mow 'em all down and get to grade 3!
**[00:16] ---**
Today is an auspicious day,
in fact the perfect day
**[00:21] ---**
for super-orienteering
and survival Vanguard!
**[00:25] ---**
Let's all have a very merry
Vanguard time today under the sun!
**[00:29] ---**
All right, everyone, together now!
**[00:32] ---**
Stand up...
**[00:34] ---**
...Vanguard!
**[02:08] ---**
Wait up!
**[02:12] ---**
Hold up there!
**[02:14] ---**
Hey, don't get in our way!
**[02:16] ---**
Are you so scared of me
that you're running away?
**[02:19] ---**
We ain't running away!
**[02:20] ---**
What's with that outfit?
**[02:27] ---**
Are you going to use all those decks?
**[02:29] ---**
Of course not!
**[02:31] ---**
I've been devoted to Oracle Think Tank
since I was born!
**[02:34] ---**
Then what are the other decks?
**[02:36] ---**
Just for show!
**[02:38] ---**
When you become a fighter of my class,
you pay attention to details like that.
**[02:42] ---**
Appearances are 120%!
**[02:44] ---**
Forget that. Just improve
your fighting skill.
**[02:47] ---**
You don't need to tell us that!
**[02:49] ---**
Just as I brush my teeth every day,
I brush up on my fighting skill!
**[02:54] ---**
You think I'm just gonna
let you become grade 3?!
**[02:57] ---**
I'm not about to let you get even one star,
**[03:00] ---**
Chrono Shindou!
**[03:03] ---**
Huh? They vanished! No way! Where are they?!
**[03:05] ---**
I'm scared!
**[03:07] ---**
Hey!
**[03:08] ---**
Don't ignore me!
***SIGN*** Turn 25 Birth of a Team
**[03:19] ---**
Let's review the rules.
**[03:22] ---**
Today's event
**[03:24] ---**
is a survival game that is equal parts
treasure hunt and fight.
**[03:28] ---**
Work together to gather the
"stars" hidden in the field.
**[03:33] ---**
Here's one!
**[03:34] ---**
Got one!
**[03:41] ---**
Let's fight!
**[03:44] ---**
If both teams agree, you can fight there.
**[03:49] ---**
Confirm each other's clans,
**[03:51] ---**
consider compatibility,
and choose one representative.
**[03:55] ---**
Chronojet Dragon attacks your Vanguard!
**[04:02] ---**
I lost!
**[04:04] ---**
The winning team gets a star
from the losing team.
**[04:08] ---**
Aim to get to the goal at the peak
by the 3:00 finish time.
**[04:12] ---**
But!
**[04:14] ---**
The stars you gather on the way to the goal
**[04:15] ---**
will be converted to points and
awarded to you after the event.
**[04:20] ---**
This is a chance to increase
your grade in one shot!
**[04:22] ---**
All right!
**[04:23] ---**
Got it?
**[04:24] ---**
While gathering the stars,
**[04:26] ---**
we'll fight as much as we can...
**[04:28] ---**
...and head for the top!
**[04:30] ---**
Yeah!
**[04:39] ---**
What is this?!
**[04:40] ---**
Obstacle! Obstacle!
**[04:43] ---**
Obstacle!
**[04:44] ---**
Kumi?!
**[04:45] ---**
Along the way, you'll find obstacles
**[04:47] ---**
as well as bonus chances to
obtain a great many stars.
**[04:50] ---**
Do your very Vanguard best
to get to the top, everyone.
**[04:53] ---**
Sorry, Tokoha!
**[04:55] ---**
This job is part of a quest!
**[05:03] ---**
Home run!
**[05:09] ---**
I was the fourth batter in the lineup
of my neighborhood baseball team,
**[05:12] ---**
so you'd better not underestimate me!
**[05:42] ---**
Got one!
**[05:44] ---**
Mom, look!
**[05:45] ---**
I found a star!
**[05:47] ---**
You certainly did!
**[05:49] ---**
It feels good fighting in the
great outdoors, you know?
**[05:53] ---**
Yeah, it's awesome!
**[05:55] ---**
But...
**[05:56] ---**
I'm not letting my guard down!
**[05:59] ---**
It looks like everyone is having a good time!
**[06:01] ---**
I love festivals, so this is exciting!
**[06:07] ---**
Hi. I owe you for last time.
**[06:13] ---**
Um... Who are you again?
**[06:16] ---**
Ogawa! You helped me
with a quest, remember?
**[06:19] ---**
It was to look for her
so I could return her card!
**[06:22] ---**
Oh, now that you remind me...
**[06:27] ---**
So it worked out well!
**[06:29] ---**
That's great! Miracles do happen!
**[06:33] ---**
I heard about what happened.
**[06:35] ---**
It must've been hard on you.
**[06:37] ---**
But...
**[06:38] ---**
...I can't look lame in front of her!
**[06:42] ---**
Good. You don't gotta hold back!
**[06:44] ---**
You said it! Prepare to feel
the power of love!
**[06:48] ---**
Our collaboration for the first time!
**[06:51] ---**
Legion!
**[06:56] ---**
Perfect guard!
**[07:00] ---**
Chronojet Dragon attacks!
**[07:21] ---**
That was a good fight!
**[07:23] ---**
Best wishes!
**[07:24] ---**
Sorry!
**[07:25] ---**
Take good care of your girlfriend! See you!
**[07:30] ---**
Sorry I lost...
**[07:32] ---**
Not at all. You were cool!
**[07:48] ---**
I can't get a connection here!
**[07:52] ---**
Tsuneto, what should we do?
**[07:55] ---**
If... this is hypothetical, but...
**[08:00] ---**
If a bear showed up here...
**[08:02] ---**
Bear!
**[08:04] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[08:06] ---**
There's no way a bear's gonna appear here...
**[08:11] ---**
Bear!
**[08:16] ---**
J-Just Vangaro...
**[08:19] ---**
Fight!
**[08:22] ---**
Stand up!
**[08:23] ---**
Director!
**[08:27] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[08:29] ---**
Mamoru!
**[08:32] ---**
Hi, kids. Sorry about this.
**[08:34] ---**
It's okay!
**[08:35] ---**
Draw.
**[08:37] ---**
Cut it out! Cut it out!
**[08:40] ---**
Mamoru! You...! Mamoru!
**[08:42] ---**
Mamoru!
**[08:50] ---**
This way!
**[08:59] ---**
Ride!
**[09:00] ---**
All right!
**[09:03] ---**
Why not?!
**[09:04] ---**
'Cause you're too weak! It's boring!
**[09:07] ---**
That's not true!
**[09:09] ---**
I got stronger from practicing!
**[09:11] ---**
This time, I really did get stronger!
**[09:16] ---**
You know him?
**[09:17] ---**
Y-Yeah...
**[09:19] ---**
Kind of.
**[09:20] ---**
Skill activated!
**[09:24] ---**
He got even stronger.
**[09:33] ---**
Tsuneto...
**[09:35] ---**
M-Maybe...
**[09:37] ---**
Maybe...
**[09:43] ---**
We're lost!
**[09:45] ---**
O-Oh, no!
**[09:48] ---**
You don't have to be scared.
**[09:53] ---**
Don't be scared.
**[09:57] ---**
See? I'm not scary.
**[10:11] ---**
Divine Knight of Flashing Flame, Samuel...
**[10:13] ---**
...attacks your Vanguard!
**[10:16] ---**
Y-You're strong!
**[10:21] ---**
Skill activated!
**[10:22] ---**
I call a rear-guard from my deck!
**[10:24] ---**
One more attack!
**[10:27] ---**
I don't believe it!
**[10:29] ---**
Seriously?!
**[10:33] ---**
I can't lose!
**[10:35] ---**
I have to increase my grade no matter what,
so I can be in the tournament!
**[10:38] ---**
Guard!
**[10:39] ---**
Sorry, but I can't lose either.
**[10:42] ---**
My Vanguard attacks!
**[10:47] ---**
Darn it!
**[10:51] ---**
You still have a chance!
**[10:53] ---**
There'll be other matches...
**[11:04] ---**
Here we are.
**[11:06] ---**
It looks delicious!
**[11:08] ---**
I'm starvin'!
**[11:10] ---**
Fill up!
**[11:12] ---**
Thank you!
**[11:22] ---**
I'll pour a spot of tea.
**[11:27] ---**
As spoiled as ever...
**[11:30] ---**
When I fight, I go all out.
**[11:33] ---**
When I take a break, I go all out, too.
**[11:36] ---**
Isn't that a good thing?
**[11:38] ---**
That's right! This is our Vanguard!
**[11:46] ---**
It's really good!
**[11:59] ---**
Tsuneto!
**[12:01] ---**
Tsuneto, are you okay?!
**[12:03] ---**
I can't go on...
**[12:06] ---**
Just...
**[12:07] ---**
...leave me here...
**[12:09] ---**
Go on...
**[12:12] ---**
Tsuneto!
**[12:13] ---**
Tsuneto!
**[12:19] ---**
I'm hungry!
**[12:22] ---**
Something to eat...
**[12:28] ---**
Kei!
**[12:46] ---**
Two more hours...
**[12:47] ---**
Maybe all the stars have
already been found...
**[12:50] ---**
If that's true, then all we can do is fight.
**[12:53] ---**
There's no time. Let's hurry!
**[12:58] ---**
Obstacle, obstacle!
**[13:00] ---**
Obstacle! O-Obstacle?!
**[13:05] ---**
All right.
**[13:06] ---**
If we follow this path, it'll
take us back to the right route.
**[13:09] ---**
Let's go.
**[13:14] ---**
Jeez! What are you doing?!
**[13:17] ---**
You really know how to scare a guy!
**[13:31] ---**
Rats!
**[13:33] ---**
We don't have time to waste here!
**[13:36] ---**
Jeez. There are some things
you just can't do!
**[13:39] ---**
I know you're in a rush,
but take a moment to cool down.
**[13:45] ---**
You look awful!
**[13:46] ---**
Excuse me?! You've got dirt
all over your face!
**[13:49] ---**
So have you!
**[14:02] ---**
All right...
**[14:03] ---**
We fell from here,
**[14:05] ---**
so if we go down this way, we should
be able to return to the proper route.
**[14:20] ---**
All right!
**[14:26] ---**
We've got one hour left.
**[14:28] ---**
We wasted a lot of time.
**[14:30] ---**
And we still don't have enough stars.
**[14:32] ---**
Let's get a move on.
**[14:33] ---**
Hohoho!
**[14:36] ---**
This is your bonus chance!
**[14:42] ---**
Kamui?
**[14:44] ---**
I am the helpful mountain wizard!
**[14:47] ---**
You're Kamui, aren't you?
**[14:49] ---**
I am the helpful mountain wizard!
**[14:52] ---**
All right, fine! I get it!
**[14:55] ---**
If you can answer my question,
**[14:58] ---**
I'll give you this sack of stars!
**[15:00] ---**
However, if you can't answer, you have
to give me all of your stars! Well?
**[15:06] ---**
Will you take the challenge?
**[15:08] ---**
I'll do it!
**[15:10] ---**
Draw!
**[15:12] ---**
There it is!
**[15:14] ---**
The most difficult level!
**[15:15] ---**
G4!
**[15:17] ---**
G... 4!
**[15:20] ---**
You're *too* lucky at drawing!
**[15:24] ---**
Here's the question!
**[15:27] ---**
Give the full names of the
Dragon Empire clan cards
**[15:30] ---**
that have a Limit Break ability,
**[15:32] ---**
such that their total
attacking ability is 55000!
**[15:38] ---**
Incidentally, the time limit is one minute!
**[15:41] ---**
One minute?!
**[15:43] ---**
Kamui, give us a hint!
**[15:44] ---**
I am the helpful mountain wizard!
**[15:46] ---**
And anyway, I can't give you guys
preferential treatment!
**[15:50] ---**
That's true...
**[15:53] ---**
If you wanna participate in
the tournament, get past me!
**[15:57] ---**
Stride Generation!
**[15:59] ---**
Hellfire Seal Dragon, Blockade Inferno!
**[16:02] ---**
Ancient Dragon, Tyrannolegend!
**[16:03] ---**
Shura Stealth Dragon, Kabukicongo!
**[16:05] ---**
Covert Demonic Dragon, Kasumi Rogue!
**[16:07] ---**
Demon Conquering Dragon,
Dungaree "Unlimited"!
**[16:12] ---**
Correct!
**[16:16] ---**
You did it!
**[16:17] ---**
It just goes to show how many
Vanguard tests I've taken.
**[16:21] ---**
I never thought your studying
would come in handy here.
**[16:26] ---**
Well, let's hurry up!
**[16:32] ---**
All it takes is concentration.
***SIGN*** Goal Welcome back!
**[16:40] ---**
Well?
**[16:41] ---**
No good. We're still a little short.
**[16:44] ---**
What should we do? We're almost there.
**[16:49] ---**
We've been waiting for you guys.
**[16:52] ---**
This is our third year meeting here.
**[16:54] ---**
I haven't even known you for a year.
**[16:56] ---**
Never mind the details!
**[16:57] ---**
I am going to take all of those stars!
**[17:01] ---**
That's my line!
**[17:03] ---**
I'm gonna beat you and then become grade 3!
**[17:06] ---**
We're counting on it!
**[17:07] ---**
If you lose here, it's all over!
**[17:09] ---**
Win! You've gotta win!
**[17:11] ---**
I know!
**[17:13] ---**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[17:26] ---**
They're going at it!
**[17:30] ---**
Prepare yourself! This is your last fight!
**[17:39] ---**
Here I go! Generation Zone... release!
**[17:44] ---**
Break open the door to the future!
**[17:47] ---**
Stride...
**[17:50] ---**
...Generation!
**[17:59] ---**
Sword Deity of the Thunder Break,
Takemikazuchi!
**[18:02] ---**
Awaken, sword of the savage deity!
**[18:10] ---**
Secret weapon!
**[18:11] ---**
Explosive Thunder!
**[18:13] ---**
Lightning Bolt Slash!
**[18:17] ---**
Perfect guard!
**[18:21] ---**
What?!
**[18:21] ---**
He blocked it!
**[18:23] ---**
It's okay! You can still win this!
**[18:25] ---**
Yeah! Kannagi, Kuroikazuchi...
**[18:28] ---**
...attacks your Vanguard!
**[18:29] ---**
Guard!
**[18:31] ---**
Imperial Shrine Guard, Tsunagai...
**[18:32] ---**
...attack!
**[18:34] ---**
Guard!
**[18:37] ---**
You're going to regionals, aren't you?
**[18:39] ---**
Don't you dare lose!
**[18:42] ---**
That's right!
**[18:43] ---**
I'm definitely gonna keep moving forward!
**[18:46] ---**
My turn!
**[18:47] ---**
Stand and draw!
**[18:49] ---**
Generation Zone... release!
**[19:06] ---**
Now, show me...
**[19:08] ---**
...the world I truly desire!
**[19:11] ---**
Stride Generation!
**[19:21] ---**
Come! Pioneer of a new generation!
**[19:31] ---**
Interdimensional Dragon,
**[19:32] ---**
Epoch-maker Dragon!
**[19:39] ---**
Bring forth a new trend!
**[19:42] ---**
Take us
**[19:43] ---**
to a new future!
**[19:57] ---**
Hit! Skill activated!
**[19:59] ---**
From Smokegear Dragon...
**[20:02] ---**
...to Chronojet Dragon...
**[20:19] ---**
That many?!
**[20:20] ---**
He was telling the truth about
brushing up every day...
**[20:23] ---**
Unlike somebody I know,
I don't wanna get any cavities!
**[20:26] ---**
No, I don't mean your teeth...
**[20:28] ---**
I'll let you hang on to those stars for now!
**[20:32] ---**
But you're definitely gonna give
'em back to me at the tournament!
**[20:35] ---**
So be prepared!
**[20:37] ---**
That's right!
**[20:38] ---**
Yeah!
**[20:39] ---**
See you at the finish line!
**[20:44] ---**
Those guys...
**[20:46] ---**
If they'd just taken those stars to the goal,
**[20:48] ---**
they would've gotten all the points!
**[20:50] [SONG] ---**
Goal
**[21:02] ---**
Congratulations on reaching grade 3!
**[21:06] ---**
I did it! Grade 3!
**[21:10] ---**
Congratulations!
**[21:11] ---**
Congrats!
**[21:13] ---**
Congratulations to you!
**[21:15] ---**
Congratulations!
**[21:21] ---**
You did it, Shindou.
**[21:22] ---**
Yep! That's a relief!
**[21:24] ---**
Thanks, Kiba and Anjou!
**[21:28] ---**
We're at the same level at last.
**[21:30] ---**
I'm not gonna lose, though!
**[21:33] ---**
Now you guys can compete at the regionals!
**[21:36] ---**
All right, better hurry up and enter.
**[21:38] ---**
But come to think of it, what are
you gonna do about your team name?
**[21:42] ---**
"Still Undecided"?
**[21:45] ---**
No.
**[21:46] ---**
The three of us are gonna
challenge it together, so...
**[21:50] ---**
...TRY3!
**[21:54] ---**
TRY3, huh?
**[21:56] ---**
That's not bad!
**[21:57] ---**
Yeah!
**[21:59] ---**
Indeed.
**[22:05] ---**
Let's go to the regionals!
**[22:08] ---**
We're rooting for you!
**[22:10] ---**
Good luck!
**[22:12] ---**
We're gonna win it!
**[23:56] ---**
Good for Chrono.
**[23:58] ---**
Now he can participate in the tournament.
**[24:00] ---**
Tokoha and Shion gave him a lot of support.
**[24:02] ---**
He learned the importance
of cooperation, huh?
**[24:06] ---**
I'd like to learn from that myself!
**[24:07] ---**
So you're finally enthusiastic
about work, Director?
**[24:09] ---**
All right! We'll cooperate with you,
**[24:11] ---**
so let's tackle all the work at the branch!
**[24:13] ---**
That's not really what I had in mind...
**[24:15] ---**
Why not?! You just said you wanted
to learn from their example!
**[24:17] ---**
Mamoru, that's kinda just
a figure of speech...
