[00:00] ---
    Second Check!
[00:03] ---
    Critical Trigger!
[00:05] ---
    All of its effects go to Chronojet!
[00:07] ---
    Get out of our Vanguard!
[00:19] ---
    You're so cute...
[01:59] ---
    At Card Capital 1?
[02:01] ---
    Yeah. There's someone I want you to meet.
[02:04] ---
    Come now.
[02:06] ---
    You'll regret it if you don't come.
[02:08] ---
    The Second Stage hasn't started yet.
    You've got time, haven't you?
[02:12] ---
    I'm sorry Kamui. I...
[02:15] ---
    I've actually got plans today.
[02:17] ---
    Don't worry. You're meeting Ibuki, right?
[02:21] ---
    I'll go with you.
[02:22] ---
    You too?
[02:26] ---
    I knew it.
[02:28] ---
    So it's got something to do with
    why you're going after Onimaru!
[02:38] ---
    Yeah. I can't say for certain yet,
[02:41] ---
    but if it is as you suspect,
[02:44] ---
    it is likely that Noa Hoshizaki
    has become caught up in this.
[02:50] ---
    We will deal with the situation.
[02:54] ---
    I have finally got an appointment
    to speak to a person involved.
[02:59] ---
    I'll go the day after tomorrow.
[03:02] ---
    If you talk to him,
    you'll know everything, right?
[03:06] ---
    Probably.
SIGN    Come to Card Capital 2 at 14:00.
[03:14] ---
    Well, I'm free until then anyway.
[03:24] ---
    Temporarily closed?
SIGN    TURN 26 Return of the Vanguard!
[03:33] ---
    Um...
[03:35] ---
    Welcome back!
[03:38] ---
    What, it's just Chrono!
[03:40] ---
    Geez, you got us all excited!
[03:43] ---
    Our crackers went to waste!
[03:46] ---
    Why did you show up now?
[03:49] ---
    You're so misleading.
[03:51] ---
    Hey! You're the one who called me, Kamui!
[03:57] ---
    Still, it's been a while!
[04:00] ---
    Youth, are you Vanguarding?
[04:02] ---
    Yes. It is nice to see you again.
[04:05] ---
    It doesn't look like you're preparing
    for a Shop Tournament...
[04:08] ---
    What's this all about?
[04:10] ---
    Huh? You came without knowing anything?
[04:14] ---
    Yeah...
[04:15] ---
    One of us has come back from overseas.
[04:18] ---
    One of us?
[04:19] ---
    So the person you
    wanted me to meet was-
[04:22] ---
    Welcome back!
[04:26] ---
    What, it's just Kai.
[04:29] ---
    What do you mean, "just"?
[04:31] ---
    Why did you bother coming
    back to Japan now?
[04:35] ---
    And waltzing in like that!
[04:39] ---
    You guys have such bad timing!
[04:43] ---
    Dragged into this?
[04:49] ---
    Even Kai is here.
[04:52] ---
    Why is the top fighter
    of the Euro League here?

[04:56] ---
    Did he come just to meet this person?
[05:00] ---
    He's late!
[05:02] ---
    Maybe he got lost somewhere?
[05:04] ---
    He wouldn't get lost. Calm down.
[05:07] ---
    Shall we go pick him up?
[05:10] ---
    He's not an elementary school kid!
[05:15] ---
    It seems like everyone can't wait.
[05:18] ---
    Is such an amazing person coming?
    They did say he was overseas.

[05:22] ---
    I'll go look for him after all!
[05:36] ---
    I'm home.
[05:38] ---
    It's Aichi!
[05:39] ---
    It's Sendou!
[05:41] ---
    Aichi!
[05:42] ---
    There's no mistake this time!
[05:44] ---
    Brother Aichi!
[05:46] ---
    Welcome home, Aichi!
[05:50] ---
    That's who Kamui and the
    others were waiting for?

[05:55] ---
    Brother! Welcome home!
[05:58] ---
    I'm home, Kamui.
[06:01] ---
    Welcome back.
[06:02] ---
    I'm home, Misaki.
[06:04] ---
    I'm home, Kai.
[06:08] ---
    Yeah.
[06:10] ---
    It's Brother Aichi! Brother Aichi!
[06:11] ---
    Calm down, Kamui!
[06:12] ---
    Team Q4 is together again!
[06:17] ---
    That reminds me, the team Kamui was in
[06:21] ---
    had one more member
    as well as Kai and Misaki.

[06:25] ---
    I see! So he's the other member!
[06:29] ---
    That means he must
    be an amazing fighter!

[06:32] ---
    I wonder what he's like!
[06:34] ---
    You're...
[06:36] ---
    Chrono Shindou, right?
[06:39] ---
    Yes!
[06:41] ---
    Yes, this is Chrono Shindou, brother!
[06:45] ---
    Brother?
[06:47] ---
    Nice to meet you. I'm Aichi Sendou.
[06:51] ---
    I always hear about you from Kamui.
[06:54] ---
    Let's get along, Chrono.
[06:56] ---
    Y-Yes.
[06:57] ---
    I see.
[06:59] ---
    I'll see you later then.
[07:01] ---
    Ah, Kai!
[07:03] ---
    What?
[07:04] ---
    Don't get in any fights.
[07:07] ---
    As if I would.
[07:10] ---
    Now then, brother! I'm sure you've got
    a lot to talk about, but let's fight first!
[07:15] ---
    It's my turn next then!
[07:17] ---
    No jumping the queue!
[07:19] ---
    Aries have the best luck today!
[07:22] ---
    - Sorry for going first!
    - Me next!
[07:29] ---
    Stand Up!
[07:30] ---
    Vanguard!
[07:35] ---
    Rise up, my avatar!
[07:38] ---
    Ride!
[07:39] ---
    Blaster Blade!
[07:48] ---
    It's so nostalgic!
[07:50] ---
    Now and back then, Sendou's avatar
    has always been Blaster Blade!
[07:55] ---
    Seems like he wasn't only
    doing his studying overseas.
[08:00] ---
    Attack Vanguard!
[08:05] ---
    He hasn't changed.
[08:07] ---
    Aichi is Aichi, after all.
[08:10] ---
    Drive Check!
[08:15] ---
    Ride!
[08:19] ---
    Attack with Extreme Battler, Sever-temper!
[08:21] ---
    Guard!
[08:23] ---
    Turn End.
[08:25] ---
    It's a line-up of familiar faces.
[08:31] ---
    Yeah! Everyone's together.
[08:34] ---
    But there are also Units who have
    developed different looks and shapes.
[08:39] ---
    Arise, my new power!
[08:42] ---
    Ride!
[08:44] ---
    Blaster Blade Exceed!
[08:50] ---
    Wow! So this is the new Blaster Blade!
[08:54] ---
    It's Grade 3!
[08:56] ---
    It's really cool, brother!
[08:59] ---
    Wow! As expected of you!
[09:03] ---
    Everyone, check this out!
[09:13] ---
    What was that feeling just now?
[09:17] ---
    I've felt it before somewhere...
[09:19] ---
    Alright!
[09:21] ---
    Now it's my turn!
[09:23] ---
    Stride Generation!
[09:25] ---
    Attack!
[09:26] ---
    Perfect Guard!
[09:29] ---
    Triple Drive!
[09:30] ---
    Hey, what's up?
[09:32] ---
    Nothing.
[09:36] ---
    It's kind of strange, but...
[09:38] ---
    It's the first time we've met
[09:40] ---
    but I feel like I've met
    Aichi before, maybe.
[09:44] ---
    Oh? You've noticed?
[09:59] ---
    The winner - Aichi Sendou!
[10:02] ---
    Kamui lost?!
[10:03] ---
    Oh! That was fast!
[10:06] ---
    Wow! He really is strong!
[10:09] ---
    You're so strong, brother!
[10:13] ---
    It looks like you've
    improved as well, Kamui.
[10:16] ---
    Is it true there are tons of
    strong fighters in America?
[10:19] ---
    Yeah!
[10:20] ---
    There's an English version, and there
    are tournaments all over the place.
[10:25] ---
    You should get him to
    fight you later as well.
[10:28] ---
    Alright! Next, it's your destined
    fight with Katsumi Morikawa!
[10:33] ---
    What "destined fight"?
[10:34] ---
    It's my turn next!
[10:36] ---
    No, it's me!
[10:39] ---
    Well, you might be
    waiting a while though...
[10:43] ---
    Okay.
[10:44] ---
    Ah, but I can't stay that long today.
[10:50] ---
    Brother, it's nearly time.
[10:53] ---
    Sorry, I need to go soon.
[10:56] ---
    Oh yeah, you said you're
    going somewhere after this?
[10:59] ---
    Yeah. I made plans.
[11:02] ---
    Off you go then!
[11:04] ---
    It can't be helped if you got
    scared of me and ran away.
[11:07] ---
    Who'd be scared of you?
[11:09] ---
    The homecoming party is from seven, okay?
[11:12] ---
    Yeah!
[11:14] ---
    Let's go, Chrono.
[11:16] ---
    Eh? Um...What you...?
[11:19] ---
    Take care of him.
[11:21] ---
    Hurry or we're leaving you.
[11:22] ---
    Wait, Kamui!
[11:27] ---
    See you later!
[11:30] ---
    - Alright!
    - See you later!
[11:46] ---
    Let's go to Card Capital 2 then!
[11:49] ---
    Eh? Card Capital 2?
[11:52] ---
    You're meeting Ibuki then?
[11:54] ---
    Yeah!
[11:55] ---
    You'll find out why we're
    going when we get there.
[12:09] ---
    Excuse me, is this train
    going to Takao Mountain?
[12:14] ---
    Um...
[12:16] ---
    No, it's going to Shinjuku.
[12:19] ---
    The train going to Takao Mountain
    will be platforms one and two.
[12:24] ---
    Oh, thank you!
[12:30] ---
    - Aichi!
    - Brother!
[12:54] ---
    Brother!
[12:56] ---
    Sorry you guys!
[13:06] ---
    You're studying abroad at
    an American university?
[13:09] ---
    Yeah!
[13:10] ---
    I wanted to study
    Cosmology and Astrophysics.
[13:14] ---
    It's summer vacation now.
[13:16] ---
    Cosmo...Physics...?
[13:19] ---
    Um...Stuff like galaxies and black holes?
[13:23] ---
    Something like that.
[13:25] ---
    Wow!
[13:27] ---
    So it's not just English conversation,
[13:29] ---
    but you can write difficult
    sentences in English too?
[13:32] ---
    Come on...How about asking
    about more important things?
[13:35] ---
    But it's amazing! Taking lessons
    in English at university!
[13:40] ---
    It would be total gibberish to me!
[13:43] ---
    Leave it to me!
    I don't understand any of it either!
[13:46] ---
    Is that something to brag about?
[13:53] ---
    Chrono, are you thirsty?
[13:55] ---
    Yes.
[13:56] ---
    Ah, shall I buy something?
[13:58] ---
    That's alright. I'll buy something.
    You two wait here.
[14:08] ---
    He's a mysterious person, isn't he?
[14:10] ---
    Who? Brother?
[14:14] ---
    He's really sociable and nice.
[14:19] ---
    Well, he's almost childlike.
[14:22] ---
    Especially compared to Kai.
[14:24] ---
    I didn't say that.
[14:27] ---
    Oh, and also...
[14:29] ---
    I feel like I've met him somewhere before.
[14:32] ---
    Even though that's not possible.
[14:36] ---
    So you felt my presence then as well?
[14:41] ---
    Oh, thank you.
[14:45] ---
    Um...What do you mean by "then"?
[14:48] ---
    The fight one year ago...
[14:50] ---
    I was also participating with my friends
    overseas. We sent our Stride Force.
[14:56] ---
    During the GIRS Crisis and the Stride Gate?
[14:59] ---
    Yeah.
[15:01] ---
    Inside the Stride Force fighters
    from all over the world sent,
[15:08] ---
    Chrono, I felt your image.
[15:12] ---
    I see! We were linked by an
    image that crossed the ocean!
[15:28] ---
    We still have time.
    Shall we eat lunch first?
[15:31] ---
    That sounds good.
[15:32] ---
    But what shall we eat?
[15:35] ---
    Um...Let's have that then!
SIGN    Beef bowl
[15:40] ---
    I've heard a lot about you from Kamui,
    so it doesn't feel like the first time.
[15:47] ---
    I see.
[15:49] ---
    Chrono, who was unsociable
    at first, encountered Vanguard,
[15:54] ---
    made friends and formed a team,
[15:57] ---
    and overcame so many difficulties.
[16:01] ---
    I've heard about all of that,
    so I feel like I know you.
[16:06] ---
    Hey! Kamui!
    What have you been telling him?!
[16:10] ---
    It's fine, isn't it?
    It's just your growth record.
[16:14] ---
    Thank you for waiting.
[16:16] ---
    Wow! It looks great!
[16:18] ---
    I can't get enough of this!
[16:21] ---
    Let's eat!
[16:26] ---
    Thanks for the food!
[16:29] ---
    Thank you.
[16:31] ---
    By the way, it's been bothering me, but...
[16:34] ---
    Kamui, why do you call Aichi, "Brother"?
[16:38] ---
    Um...That's-
[16:40] ---
    That's because Aichi is the person
    who'll become my brother one day!
[16:45] ---
    Okay...
[16:46] ---
    Listen. Brother Aichi is the
    brother of Emi, my princess.
[16:51] ---
    Emi?
[16:54] ---
    The Bermuda Triangle user?
[17:03] ---
    I see...Emi is your sister, huh?
[17:08] ---
    Yeah!
[17:09] ---
    Emi says, "I had fun then,
    say hi to Chrono for me".
[17:14] ---
    Oh? Good for you, Chrono!
[17:17] ---
    Eh?
[17:19] ---
    Ah, but how does that
    make Aichi Kamui's brother?
[17:24] ---
    Well, that's-
[17:26] ---
    Geez, don't make me say it!
[17:29] ---
    It's obviously because Emi and I
    are bound by the red thread of fate!
[17:35] ---
    But you have Nagisa, don't you?
[17:38] ---
    Ah!!! Don't ever say that name
    in front of me again!
[18:10] ---
    It's a nice view, isn't it?
[18:13] ---
    Yes...
[18:14] ---
    Oh! I almost forgot.
[18:17] ---
    Here. It's a gift for you.
[18:20] ---
    Thank you.
[18:22] ---
    We were doing a lot over there
    during the fight one year ago.
[18:27] ---
    I got it back then.
[18:30] ---
    A Gear Chronicle G-Unit!
[18:33] ---
    None of my friends
    use Gear Chronicle,
[18:37] ---
    so I always intended to
    give it to you if we met.
[18:41] ---
    This card has an amazing power.
[18:44] ---
    It activates at Generation Break 8.
[18:47] ---
    Eh? GB8!
[18:49] ---
    So you can't use it unless there
    are eight G-Units face-up?
[18:54] ---
    Seriously...
[18:56] ---
    That's why it has such an amazing ability?
[18:58] ---
    I've never seen anything like this, Aichi!
[19:02] ---
    Generation Break 8 is made
[19:04] ---
    possible only after Striding many times
    and using up all other possibilities...
[19:09] ---
    You finally reach it far into the future.
[19:13] ---
    It's the power that only people who have
    conjured the ultimate image can reach.
[19:22] ---
    Um!
[19:24] ---
    What's wrong?
[19:25] ---
    Such an amazing card...
[19:27] ---
    I can't accept this.
[19:29] ---
    It's alright.
[19:30] ---
    I saw it.
[19:33] ---
    Chrono. I saw you overcome
    the future using that card.
[19:40] ---
    Will you use it?
[19:46] ---
    Yes.
[19:47] ---
    Thank you. I finally gave it to you!
[19:50] ---
    That's an incredible gift.
[19:52] ---
    Take good care of my brother's present!
[19:55] ---
    That hurts!
[19:57] ---
    Let's go then.
[20:19] ---
    Welcome home, Aichi.
[20:21] ---
    Shin! It's been a while.
[20:23] ---
    You look more manly
    every time you come back!
[20:27] ---
    I'm overjoyed.
[20:29] ---
    I don't think I've changed that much...
[20:34] ---
    I haven't seen you for a while, either.
[20:38] ---
    Shin, where is Ibuki?
[20:40] ---
    He isn't here yet.
[20:42] ---
    Things get busy when you're a HQ leader.
[20:45] ---
    Geez. What a guy.
[20:47] ---
    What do you want to do, brother?
[20:49] ---
    I see. That's perfect then.
[20:52] ---
    Chrono, would you fight me?
[20:55] ---
    May I? I'd love to!
[21:14] ---
    Fighting Aichi...
[21:16] ---
    I wonder what will happen?
[21:25] ---
    Could that be Aichi Sendou?
[21:28] ---
    The Asia Circuit champion?
[21:29] ---
    There's no way he'd be here.
[21:31] ---
    Yeah.
[21:32] ---
    Thank you!
[21:37] ---
    Now then...
[22:04] ---
    He's like a completely different person.
[22:08] ---
    Is this the real Aichi?
[22:13] ---
    Shall we begin?
[22:16] ---
    Yes!
[22:20] ---
    Stand Up!
[22:21] ---
    Vanguard!
[23:55] ---
    Now, Ishida! Hurry up with the
    preparations for Aichi Sendou's party!
[23:59] ---
    Don't be in such a rush!
[24:02] ---
    It's in the evening, right?
    We've got plenty of time!
[24:05] ---
    It's been ages since I last saw Aichi!
[24:08] ---
    It feels like Kai is always
    coming back to Japan though...
[24:11] ---
    Aichi is a student so he
    can't come back that easily.
[24:16] ---
    - He's not like Kai.
    - You're right.
SIGN    TURN 27
    Chrono VS Aichi
[24:18] ---
    Okay, okay! That's enough chatting.
    Let's go buy the food!
[24:22] ---
    Yeah!
