[00:06] ---
    I feel it...
[00:09] ---
    ...in my heart!
[00:12] ---
    Jaime!
[00:16] ---
    Skill activated!
[00:18] ---
    Now I'll show off your power once more!
[00:21] ---
    Stand up!
[00:23] ---
    Magnum Assault!
[00:26] ---
    One Who Surpasses the Storm,
[00:28] ---
    Thavas!
[00:56] ---
    Adiós!
[01:11] ---
    Dear Jaime,
[01:14] ---
    Congratulations making it to the best eight
    in the Number Three Euro League.
[01:18] ---
    It seems you'll rise again in the
    world rankings this time, too.
[01:22] ---
    As for me, the national
    tournament is starting soon.
[01:26] ---
    Fighters here are champing
    at the bit in expectation.
[01:30] ---
    One of them will eventually make
    his or her way out into the world
[01:34] ---
    and perhaps challenge you.
[01:40] ---
    I'm sure you're working hard now too, amigo.
[01:49] ---
    Shoot. I'd better take my bath.
[03:27] ---
    Let's go.
[03:31] ---
    Welcome!
[03:34] ---
    Hello.
[03:36] ---
    Hello!
[03:37] ---
    Is this your first time here?
[03:39] ---
    Y-Yes...
[03:41] ---
    Um, I...
[03:43] ---
    I want to play Vanguard!
SIGN    Turn 26 Taiyou Asukawa
[03:53] ---
    Hello...
[03:56] ---
    Chrono! Good timing!
[03:58] ---
    I have a little favor to ask.
SIGN    Register
[04:01] ---
    What is it?
[04:03] ---
    Would you do a teaching fight with him?
[04:06] ---
    Teaching fight?
[04:08] ---
    I'd like you to teach this
    beginner how to play.
[04:11] ---
    Oh...
[04:13] ---
    To be honest, I want to teach him myself,
[04:16] ---
    but Kamui's out right now,
[04:18] ---
    so I don't have a free hand.
SIGN    Register
[04:20] ---
    Yeah, I don't mind...
[04:22] ---
    I appreciate it.
[04:24] ---
    Asukawa, this is Chrono Shindou.
[04:27] ---
    U-Um, I'm Taiyou Asukawa.
[04:30] ---
    N-Nice to meet you.
[04:34] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard.
[04:38] ---
    First, you choose the place to fight...
[04:41] ---
    What do you wanna do?
[04:43] ---
    Um, I-I'll leave it to you.
[04:48] ---
    I appreciate this.
[04:50] ---
    Taking the time to help me...
[04:52] ---
    You had something else to do, didn't you?
[04:55] ---
    Well, I was gonna do a quest...
[04:59] ---
    O-Oh, really?
[05:04] ---
    Look...
[05:05] ---
    Y-Yes?!
[05:08] ---
    Sorry!
[05:13] ---
    Gold Paladin...
[05:15] ---
    Did you put the deck together yourself?
[05:17] ---
    Y-Yes.
[05:19] ---
    Although I don't know if I did it right...
[05:21] ---
    We'll find out as we fight.
[05:28] ---
    First, choose a grade 0 card
[05:31] ---
    and set it down as your first Vanguard.
[05:35] ---
    You draw five cards from the deck.
[05:45] ---
    You have one chance to redraw.
[05:47] ---
    The ideal is to have one of each grade,
    1 through 3, in your hand.
[05:53] ---
    Okay.
[05:54] ---
    Um...
[05:56] ---
    This one and this one...
[06:00] ---
    I did it!
[06:01] ---
    All right.
[06:02] ---
    Normally you do rock-scissors-paper
    to see who goes first,
[06:06] ---
    but I'll go first this time,
     since it'll be easier to explain that way.
[06:10] ---
    Okay!
[06:12] ---
    Um... Yeah, first...
[06:16] ---
    Right.
[06:17] ---
    From this moment on,
[06:19] ---
    we're going to be fighting on
    another world, the planet Cray.
[06:22] ---
    Okay...
[06:24] ---
    Imagination is everything with Vanguard.
[06:27] ---
    The power of the units.
[06:29] ---
    The development of the fight.
[06:31] ---
    If you picture it, you can grasp victory.
[06:34] ---
    R-Right!
[06:35] ---
    The field I chose today
[06:37] ---
    is a United Sanctuary training ground.
[06:40] ---
    We're disembarking there.
[06:43] ---
    Picture it.
[06:44] ---
    The world where we're going to fight...
[06:48] ---
    The world where we're going to fight...
[06:51] ---
    The planet Cray...
[07:00] ---
    Well?
[07:03] ---
    Right now, our powerless astral bodies
    are on the planet Cray.
[07:08] ---
    We can't do anything like this.
[07:10] ---
    So we're going to summon units
    that'll lend us their power.
[07:15] ---
    That's a Vanguard.
    The word itself means "leader."
[07:19] ---
    Leader?
[07:21] ---
    We ride the Vanguard,
[07:23] ---
    which gives us a form with which
    to battle on the planet Cray.
[07:26] ---
    Picture it.
[07:28] ---
    The moment you become one with the unit...
[07:30] ---
    Let's go!
[07:32] ---
    R-Right!
[07:33] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[07:36] ---
    Gunnergear Dracokid!
[07:39] ---
    Rising Lionet!
[07:42] ---
    First, I stand and draw.
[07:44] ---
    Although with the first turn, the unit
    is already standing, so I just draw.
[07:49] ---
    I draw one card from my deck.
[07:52] ---
    Next is the ride phase.
[07:54] ---
    You make the Vanguard evolve
    with an even stronger unit!
[07:56] ---
    Ride!
[07:58] ---
    Masergear Dragon!
[08:00] ---
    Next, the main phase.
[08:02] ---
    Here, you summon comrades that will
    fight alongside your Vanguard.
[08:05] ---
    Call!
[08:06] ---
    Masergear Dragon!
[08:08] ---
    Rear-guards.
[08:10] ---
    These units are the comrades that will
    fight together with your Vanguard.
[08:14] ---
    Comrades that fight together...
[08:17] ---
    The person who starts
    can't attack on the first turn,
[08:20] ---
    so my turn is over.
[08:22] ---
    Then it's my turn?
[08:25] ---
    Yeah. Try doing it like I did.
[08:28] ---
    R-Right!
[08:30] ---
    Ride!
[08:31] ---
    Wait!
[08:32] ---
    First you draw! Then you ride!
[08:35] ---
    Sorry! Sorry!
[08:37] ---
    Pardon me!
[08:41] ---
    Look...
[08:42] ---
    Yes?
[08:43] ---
    I first started playing myself
    not too long ago.
[08:47] ---
    Vanguard.
[08:49] ---
    So you don't need to be that nervous.
[08:53] ---
    O-Okay.
[08:56] ---
    All right! Try riding!
[09:00] ---
    Okay!
[09:01] ---
    Knight of Morning Shadow, Kimarcus!
[09:03] ---
    Ride!
[09:08] ---
    Some units have skills.
[09:11] ---
    With this one, when you ride a unit of the same clan on it,
[09:14] ---
    you can call it as a rear-guard.
[09:17] ---
    That increases your allies by one.
[09:19] ---
    Allies...
[09:21] ---
    Then...
[09:22] ---
    ...I move this Rising Lionet
[09:25] ---
    and call Kimarcus!
[09:36] ---
    Now everything is set.
[09:37] ---
    Try to attack my Vanguard!
[09:40] ---
    Right!
[09:41] ---
    You can use grade 0 and 1 units to boost.
[09:45] ---
    They make the guy in front of 'em stronger.
[09:49] ---
    Then...
[09:50] ---
    Rising Lionet boosts.
[09:53] ---
    Kimarcus attacks your Vanguard.
[09:56] ---
    No guard.
[09:57] ---
    Now, if your Vanguard attacks,
[10:00] ---
    you do a drive check.
[10:02] ---
    Drive check?
[10:04] ---
    Turn over the top card of your deck.
[10:06] ---
    O-Okay.
[10:08] ---
    Drive check.
[10:11] ---
    You got one!
[10:12] ---
    Cards that have a mark in the top right
    are called triggers.
[10:16] ---
    When they show up,
    you get a beneficial effect.
[10:19] ---
    This is a critical trigger.
[10:21] ---
    You can give 5000 power to any unit you like,
[10:24] ---
    and it increases the amount of damage you do
[10:28] ---
    to your opponent's Vanguard by 1.
[10:38] ---
    Yeah!
[10:40] ---
    If your Vanguard takes damage,
    you do a damage check.
[10:43] ---
    If I get a trigger here,
[10:45] ---
    I may be able to heal damage...
[10:49] ---
    ...but I didn't get one this time.
[10:50] ---
    Whoever gets six cards in
    their Damage Zone loses.
[10:55] ---
    Okay.
[10:56] ---
    Now attack with your rear-guard.
[10:58] ---
    Right.
[10:59] ---
    Kimarcus attacks your Vanguard!
[11:04] ---
    This time I'm gonna guard!
[11:09] ---
    I successfully guarded.
[11:12] ---
    The power of the cards that
    are in the guardian circle
[11:15] ---
    are calculated with this shield value.
[11:17] ---
    The power of my unit was greater
    than your unit's power,
[11:21] ---
    so I guarded successfully.
[11:23] ---
    The cards you used to guard with
[11:25] ---
    go into the Drop Zone.
[11:27] ---
    And that's the basic flow of the game.
[11:30] ---
    Every turn, you ride the Vanguard
[11:33] ---
    and get stronger by increasing your grade,
[11:35] ---
    while also waging a battle.
[11:37] ---
    When your Vanguard becomes grade 3,
[11:40] ---
    you can use an even more incredible skill,
[11:43] ---
    but I'll save that for later.
[11:45] ---
    Okay!
[11:46] ---
    All right, let's continue!
[12:00] ---
    I'm back!
[12:03] ---
    Here's the slip.
[12:05] ---
    Thanks.
[12:07] ---
    There he is.
[12:11] ---
    I asked Chrono to do a teaching fight.
[12:14] ---
    Huh...
[12:15] ---
    So he's capable of teaching now.
[12:19] ---
    Pwyll attacks Glimmer Breath Dragon!
[12:22] ---
    No guard.
[12:25] ---
    My Vanguard attacks!
[12:26] ---
    Knight of Dawnlight, Jago,
    attacks your Vanguard!
[12:30] ---
    No guard. Come and get me!
[12:32] ---
    Drive check!
[12:36] ---
    Stand trigger, huh?
[12:38] ---
    You can use a unit
[12:41] ---
    that's already attacked.
[12:44] ---
    All right!
[12:44] ---
    Please lend me your power
    one more time, Pwyll!
[12:51] ---
    Damage check.
[12:53] ---
    Heal trigger!
[12:55] ---
    Heal trigger...
[12:56] ---
    The damage in the Damage Zone
    decreases by one card.
[13:00] ---
    Then, on balance,
    my attack had zero effect?
[13:04] ---
    Yeah, actually...
[13:06] ---
    Turn end.
[13:09] ---
    I'll do my best next turn!
[13:10] ---
    I can tell you're really picturing it.
[13:13] ---
    You play like this, you'll be fine
    playing against anyone.
[13:19] ---
    What's wrong?
[13:20] ---
    Nothing...
[13:21] ---
    Sorry.
[13:23] ---
    I was a little scared...
[13:29] ---
    N-No! I don't mean scared of you, Chrono.
[13:32] ---
    I, um...
[13:35] ---
    ...was scared of playing
    against another person.
[13:37] ---
    It's my personality.
[13:40] ---
    I've been doing it myself up until now...
[13:43] ---
    Knowing myself, I was sure
    I couldn't do anything.
[13:47] ---
    It couldn't be helped.
[13:48] ---
    I told myself I was fine on my own...
[13:54] ---
    Ride!
[13:55] ---
    Chronojet Dragon!
[13:58] ---
    Call!
[14:01] ---
    Then why did you come here?
[14:05] ---
    Guard!
[14:09] ---
    I'm moving.
[14:11] ---
    My family is moving to a new town.
[14:14] ---
    It made me wonder if I would be
    the same person,
[14:17] ---
    the same old me that can't do anything...
[14:21] ---
    But I don't want that.
[14:24] ---
    I thought Vanguard
    was impossible for me, too.
[14:26] ---
    I gave up.
[14:29] ---
    But the truth is, I wanted to
[14:32] ---
    try my deck out with someone.
[14:42] ---
    I've been there.
[14:44] ---
    A long time ago,
    I thought along similar lines.
[14:49] ---
    That I was fine on my own...
[14:51] ---
    That I had no choice.
[15:04] ---
    It's easier to think that way, you know?
[15:13] ---
    You don't show any mercy even
    to a total beginner, huh?
[15:16] ---
    Want me to teach you something?
[15:18] ---
    Hey, did you come over to butt in?
[15:21] ---
    Here.
[15:24] ---
    What are they?
[15:25] ---
    Prayers for victory.
[15:27] ---
    Give one to Kiba if he comes.
[15:29] ---
    Because we're definitely going
    to the national tournament!
[15:33] ---
    Sorry for interrupting.
[15:35] ---
    Don't hold back.
[15:36] ---
    Crush this jerk.
[15:39] ---
    Sheesh! Annoying...
[15:42] ---
    Turn end.
[15:44] ---
    It's your turn.
[15:45] ---
    Right.
[15:46] ---
    Draw.
[15:48] ---
    Can you ride a grade 3 this turn?
[15:52] ---
    Yes.
[15:52] ---
    All right! Then I'll
    teach you a little trick.
[15:56] ---
    First, ride to grade 3.
[15:59] ---
    Ride!
[16:01] ---
    Sunrise Ray Knight,
[16:03] ---
    Gurguit!
[16:06] ---
    When both fighters have grade 3 Vanguards,
[16:11] ---
    they can declare the release
    of Generation Zone.
[16:14] ---
    You can use the G unit here
[16:16] ---
    to stride the Vanguard.
[16:19] ---
    Stride...
[16:21] ---
    G units are our other, future self.
[16:26] ---
    You transcend the space-time barrier
[16:29] ---
    and draw possibilities and the
    person you want to become to you!
[16:36] ---
    My...
[16:37] ---
    ...future self...
[16:40] ---
    For the cost,
[16:42] ---
    you have to discard units in your hand
[16:45] ---
    that have a total of grade 3 or more.
[16:48] ---
    Can you do it?
[16:49] ---
    Yes!
[16:50] ---
    All right. Then try it.
[16:53] ---
    Picture it.
[16:55] ---
    Your future self,
    grabbing new possibilities...
[17:00] ---
    Generation Zone... release!
[17:13] ---
    I'm grasping the future!
[17:15] ---
    Bring me new freedom now!
[17:17] ---
    Stride Generation!
[17:30] ---
    Golden Dragon...
[17:31] ---
    ...Spearcross Dragon!
[17:35] ---
    When a G unit strides,
[17:38] ---
    the previous Vanguard becomes the Heart.
[17:41] ---
    The G unit gains its name and power.
[17:44] ---
    Wow!
[17:47] ---
    Rising Lionet boosts.
[17:50] ---
    Spearcross Dragon attacks your Vanguard!
[17:54] ---
    No guard.
[17:56] ---
    G units, which have gained
    other possibilities,
[17:59] ---
    possess triple drive.
[18:01] ---
    You can turn over three cards.
[18:08] ---
    Then here I go.
[18:09] ---
    First card...
[18:14] ---
    Second card...
[18:22] ---
    Third card!
[18:26] ---
    Critical trigger!
[18:28] ---
    This is my future!
[18:30] ---
    A new power in my grasp!
[18:45] ---
    After the end of the turn,
    the G unit returns to the G Zone.
[18:49] ---
    Turn end.
[18:53] ---
    That's a new Gold Paladin unit, huh?
[18:55] ---
    Yes.
[18:56] ---
    You want something?
[18:58] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[19:00] ---
    You should take a look at these
    before the tournament.
SIGN    The Art of War
[19:03] ---
    Huh. I didn't know they had these.
[19:06] ---
    Thanks for going out of your way.
[19:07] ---
    It was on the way.
[19:09] ---
    Oh, yeah...
[19:11] ---
    This is from Anjou.
[19:16] [SONG] ---
    Good Luck
[19:17] ---
    A good luck charm, huh?
[19:18] ---
    I appreciate it.
[19:20] ---
    You can't rely on those things.
[19:23] ---
    God is an aggregation of people's feelings.
[19:27] ---
    Just as, with Vanguard, the person who has
    the strongest feelings wins at the end.
[19:31] ---
    Well...
[19:32] ---
    Sorry to interrupt.
[19:34] ---
    Do your best to crush this guy.
[19:37] ---
    See you.
[19:39] ---
    Jeez...
[19:40] ---
    Sorry. How far did we get?
[19:43] ---
    The end of my turn.
[19:45] ---
    I see. Sorry about that.
[19:47] ---
    N-No, not at all...
[19:50] ---
    Like I said before,
[19:52] ---
    I haven't been at this for too long.
[19:54] ---
    I mean, playing Vanguard.
[19:56] ---
    But during this short time, all kinds
    of awesome things have happened.
[20:01] ---
    And it's been tough... but fun.
[20:03] ---
    Right!
[20:05] ---
    Right now, I'm having a lot of fun!
[20:10] ---
    Generation Zone... release!
[20:15] ---
    Now, show me...
[20:17] ---
    ...the world I truly desire!
[20:20] ---
    Stride Generation!
[20:36] ---
    Interdimensional Dragon, Epoch-maker Dragon!
[20:56] ---
    Thank you so much.
[20:58] ---
    That's okay. I had a good time, too.
[21:01] ---
    Who won?
[21:04] ---
    Pretty immature, Chrono.
[21:06] ---
    Well, I would've felt bad holding back...
[21:09] ---
    It's all right. Thanks to you,
    I have a goal now.
[21:13] ---
    I'm gonna get strong enough
    to beat you one day, Chrono!
[21:19] ---
    Even after you move,
    come by once in a while.
[21:21] ---
    Let's fight again!
[21:23] ---
    Sure!
[21:31] ---
    Nice.
[21:32] ---
    Reminds me of the way I used to be.
[21:35] ---
    You were a fighter too, Shin?
[21:38] ---
    You could say that...
[21:40] ---
    If we ever get the chance,
[21:42] ---
    maybe we can have a match?
[21:44] ---
    Sure.
[21:49] ---
    Well, this is unusual.
[21:51] ---
    I may have the opportunity to play
    pretty soon, so I thought I'd prepare.
[21:56] ---
    Did you come across an interesting fighter?
[21:59] ---
    Yes.
[22:00] ---
    I did.
[22:04] ---
    Want me to help you iron it out?
[22:07] ---
    Oracle or Genesis, which do you want?
[22:10] ---
    That's a tough choice.
[22:12] ---
    I didn't think you'd agree
    to a match with me, Misaki.
[22:14] ---
    If you've got a half-baked deck,
    I'll crush you in no time.
[22:20] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[23:57] ---
    Chrono!
[23:58] ---
    Thank you so much for today!
[24:00] ---
    It's okay. I didn't really do anything.
[24:02] ---
    That's not true! I had an awesome
    time fighting you, Chrono.
[24:07] ---
    I have a feeling I'll change today!
[24:09] ---
    I see.
[24:10] ---
    Even after you go to a new place,
    keep playing Vanguard.
[24:13] ---
    Of course!
[24:14] ---
    Chrono, please fight me again sometime!
[24:17] ---
    Sure. Come back anytime!
[24:19] ---
    Please wait for me!

    I promise I'll get stronger!
