**[00:02] ---**
It seems you're no longer a damn brat.
**[00:09] ---**
If you continue, you'll learn of the
threat hidden in the U20.
**[00:15] ---**
Kazumi Onimaru?
**[00:17] ---**
The entire Team Diffrider
and Noa Hoshizaki, too.
**[00:22] ---**
Don't get so stiff. Your GB8 was magnificent!
**[00:26] ---**
Kamui...
**[00:27] ---**
If your power wasn't enough, this guy
**[00:31] ---**
wanted us to give you special training!
**[00:36] ---**
Ibuki's actually quite the worrywart, huh?
**[00:42] ---**
That's enough of that.
**[00:44] ---**
Let's go.
**[02:52] ---**
Master Nome?
**[02:58] ---**
Your guests will be arriving soon.
**[03:01] ---**
Ah...It's that time already?
**[03:08] ---**
Destiny is about to start moving.
**[03:12] ---**
At last...
**[03:27] ---**
This is...!
**[03:35] ---**
Harmonics Messiah...
**[03:48] ---**
That's-
**[03:50] ---**
They are the souls under my protection.
**[03:54] ---**
Joined by their prayers and connections,
**[03:56] ---**
they are adventurers traveling
to their Vanguards.
**[04:00] ---**
Traveling...From Planet Cray?
**[04:04] ---**
However, there is one...
**[04:06] ---**
One that hides from my sight
and travels to another land...
**[04:16] ---**
My Vanguards, be cautious.
**[04:19] ---**
Of this evil soul that
hides from my sight.
**[04:25] ---**
*Ibuki!*
**[04:26] ---**
*Ibuki?!*
**[04:30] ---**
Are you alright?
**[04:32] ---**
You were moaning in your sleep.
**[04:37] ---**
Y-Yeah...
**[04:39] ---**
The preparations for the opening and
the regulations for the first stage
**[04:43] ---**
are more or less sorted,
so could you check them?
**[04:46] ---**
Sorry. I fell asleep even though
I was the one who called you here.
**[04:51] ---**
I don't mind. Are you sleeping okay?
**[04:55] ---**
Well, it's not like I can talk.
***SIGN*** U20 Previous Champion Kazumi Onimaru
***SIGN*** TURN 29 Diffrider
**[05:16] ---**
Huh?! A dream?
**[05:18] ---**
Seriously?
**[05:19] ---**
The U20's threat is your dream
and a vague feeling?
**[05:25] ---**
You did all this just because of a dream?
**[05:29] ---**
You pulled Aichi and Kamui,
and even Kai into it!
**[05:32] ---**
Then get out. Right now.
**[05:34] ---**
No...Just that...
**[05:38] ---**
A dream is just a dream though.
Doesn't it interest you?
**[05:43] ---**
Well yeah, but it's a dream, right?
**[05:45] ---**
I've had dreams like
that a few times, too.
**[05:54] ---**
R-Really? Well if you say so...
**[05:57] ---**
You've also felt that
dangerous presence, haven't you?
**[06:01] ---**
In your fight with Noa Hoshizaki.
**[06:04] ---**
If it was just a dream, then that's fine.
**[06:06] ---**
But we need to take measures
just in case that it's not.
**[06:10] ---**
And you'll be able to find out
from that Tatsunagi guy?
**[06:14] ---**
Nome Tatsunagi. The leader
of the Tatsunagi Syndicate.
**[06:19] ---**
The Tatsunagi family was in trouble
during the last leader's time.
**[06:22] ---**
This year, the eldest child, Nome,
became their leader
**[06:28] ---**
and inherited the family's destiny.
**[06:31] ---**
Destiny?
**[06:33] ---**
The Planet Cray and this world...
**[06:35] ---**
The power of destiny that connects them.
**[06:38] ---**
They act as observers for it.
**[06:40] ---**
The head of the Tatsunagi family
has served this role for generations.
**[06:45] ---**
It's like Shion's place...
**[06:48] ---**
The Tatsunagi Syndicate has
a huge presence in Asia.
**[06:55] ---**
Master Nome.
**[06:57] ---**
Your guests have arrived.
**[07:03] ---**
Welcome to my observation room!
**[07:06] ---**
Seems that the all-stars
have gathered today!
**[07:09] ---**
The one who listens to the prayers of the
Messiah's Vanguards and his friends.
**[07:13] ---**
And...
**[07:15] ---**
The Gear Chronicle Singularity.
**[07:37] ---**
Now, please ask your questions.
**[07:40] ---**
I'll answer to the best of my ability.
**[07:45] ---**
Attack Vanguard!
**[07:57] ---**
Well done Tsuneto! Nice attack!
**[08:00] ---**
I'll give you a thorough
training session today!
**[08:04] ---**
We are Trinity Dragon!
**[08:06] ---**
The one who loses the most will treat
everyone to ramen! That's today's rule!
**[08:12] ---**
I'll have a large veggie ramen!
**[08:14] ---**
I want miso ramen!
**[08:16] ---**
Geez...I've been caught up in
something bothersome here.
**[08:20] ---**
Aside from the ramen, this will be
good training for the second stage!
**[08:26] ---**
You guys won against us and
are competing in the U20!
**[08:31] ---**
I won't forgive you guys
if you put up a poor fight!
**[08:36] ---**
*I want to support Chrono.*
**[08:38] ---**
*I want to grasp the future
with the three of us.*
**[08:41] ---**
*That's my goal right now.*
**[08:43] ---**
*But that's not all.*
**[08:46] ---**
*Fighting in the U20 has made
me want to test myself more!*
**[08:51] ---**
*How far can my strength take me?
How much stronger can I become?*
**[08:57] ---**
*I'll overcome myself and reach that point!*
**[09:01] ---**
Stand and Draw!
**[09:08] ---**
*The first stage ended without
me even seeing him but*
**[09:11] ---**
*he'll show up for sure
in the second stage!*
**[09:14] ---**
Stride Generation!
**[09:18] ---**
I'll show you!
**[09:22] ---**
I'm not who I was anymore!
**[09:31] ---**
By the way, where's Chrono?
**[09:34] ---**
He said he's got something to do today.
**[09:35] ---**
What?!
**[09:37] ---**
He's slacking off before the second stage!
**[09:40] ---**
Alright! Next time we meet,
he's treating us to ramen!
**[09:43] ---**
Yay!
**[09:49] ---**
That's the gist of the current situation.
**[09:54] ---**
The souls coming here
from the Planet Cray...
**[09:59] ---**
I see.
**[10:02] ---**
Different World Rider.
Also known as Diffrider.
**[10:07] ---**
The dream you saw is happening
in reality now, Kouji Ibuki.
**[10:13] ---**
Crossing time and space from Planet Cray,
**[10:16] ---**
the Units who travel to this
world do indeed exist.
**[10:25] ---**
About one year ago,
there was an event where
**[10:29] ---**
a passageway, a Stride Gate
between the two worlds opened.
**[10:34] ---**
You were there, so of course
you know about this.
**[10:39] ---**
Thanks to your efforts,
the gate was destroyed.
**[10:42] ---**
However, the time and space disrupted by
this event won't return to normal so easily.
**[10:48] ---**
The two worlds are now closer
than they have ever been.
**[10:54] ---**
If you form a strong enough image
of them, Planet Cray's Units
**[10:58] ---**
can take over a person's
body in this world.
**[11:01] ---**
In other words, they can Diffride.
**[11:12] ---**
Connections formed by imaging.
**[11:14] ---**
This happens between Units
that you call your Avatars,
**[11:20] ---**
Units that harmonize with fighters.
**[11:25] ---**
The Unit crosses space and time,
summoned by the fighter's
**[11:28] ---**
and if the fighter agrees to it,
a Diffride occurs
**[11:32] ---**
and they become one being.
**[11:36] ---**
You, for example,
**[11:38] ---**
Chronojet Dragon...
**[11:41] ---**
And you, aside from Blaster Blade,
**[11:43] ---**
cannot Diffride with any other Unit.
**[11:46] ---**
What is their goal?
**[11:49] ---**
Why are Cray's Units desperate enough to
come here that they'd use our bodies?
**[11:55] ---**
Who knows?
**[11:56] ---**
I am an observer.
Even if I see what is happening,
**[12:00] ---**
I cannot see inside their hearts.
**[12:04] ---**
Well, you needn't
worry about most of them.
**[12:09] ---**
Some are simply curious or have an
adventurous spirit to see a new world.
**[12:14] ---**
You're saying they're here as tourists?
**[12:17] ---**
Yes! That might be the case.
**[12:21] ---**
However, exceptions exist everywhere.
**[12:24] ---**
Kazumi Onimaru!
**[12:27] ---**
Bullseye.
**[12:29] ---**
The Unit that is his avatar,
Stealth Dragon, Shiranui
**[12:33] ---**
succeeded in Diffriding without
Kazumi's consent
**[12:36] ---**
and has taken his place.
**[12:42] ---**
Kazumi Onimaru has no say in the matter.
**[12:45] ---**
What you see is Shiranui itself, who
has simply taken Kazumi Onimaru's form.
**[13:08] ---**
Almost all of the Units that
live on the Planet Cray
**[13:12] ---**
are under the divine protection
of their creator, the Messiah.
**[13:16] ---**
This remains the same even when
they cross space and time to Diffride.
**[13:21] ---**
However, Shiranui has cut
itself off from that protection.
**[13:24] ---**
And through some means unknown,
succeeded in Diffriding.
**[13:29] ---**
And just the other day,
guided by Shiranui,
**[13:34] ---**
one more evil soul came to this
world and Diffrided with a fighter.
**[13:39] ---**
Star-vader, Chaos Breaker Dragon.
**[13:43] ---**
Noa Hoshizaki's favorite Unit.
**[13:52] ---**
Chaos Breaker...
**[13:57] ---**
There's no way those guys
would come here just to visit!
**[14:01] ---**
What are they planning?
**[14:03] ---**
Are the guys on
Onimaru's team their allies?
**[14:10] ---**
What's wrong with you?!
**[14:12] ---**
You're talking as if this has
nothing to do with you!
**[14:15] ---**
If you know about something as important
as this, you should have said so sooner!
**[14:19] ---**
If you had asked, I would have.
**[14:21] ---**
I would tell you, and Kazumi Onimaru.
Anyone at all.
**[14:27] ---**
I am an observer, you see.
**[14:31] ---**
I'm not on anyone's side.
**[14:33] ---**
I'm not anyone's enemy.
**[14:35] ---**
My role is to do nothing.
**[14:39] ---**
The power of destiny
surrounding the two worlds...
**[14:42] ---**
The truth of the universe...
**[14:44] ---**
These concepts are too big for
us puny beings to understand.
**[14:50] ---**
An absolute power,
similar to the laws of physics...
**[14:54] ---**
Vanguard...
**[14:56] ---**
has moved to a level where
even we can understand it
**[15:00] ---**
and by imaging, we can
transform truth and destiny.
**[15:06] ---**
Aichi Sendou, with your peerless imaging,
**[15:11] ---**
you can listen to your Units'
prayers through your Vanguard.
**[15:14] ---**
You have the power to guide destiny.
**[15:18] ---**
And Chrono Shindou,
**[15:20] ---**
you yourself have no special power.
**[15:23] ---**
However, the connection you
have formed with your Units
**[15:27] ---**
have become a singularity.
**[15:31] ---**
We Tatsunagis are the concert masters.
**[15:35] ---**
We have given you, who play the
music of destiny a starting note.
**[15:40] ---**
That is our only duty.
**[15:42] ---**
The previous head of the family...
**[15:45] ---**
My younger brother
was not content with that.
**[15:49] ---**
His abilities were too strong,
and he was too kind.
**[15:53] ---**
Because of this, he caused
further disruption to this world.
**[16:00] ---**
You Vanguard fighters are the
only ones who can change destiny.
**[16:06] ---**
To know what the Diffriders' goals are,
you will have to seek them out yourselves.
**[16:14] ---**
For now, the Units affiliated with
the fighters in the second stage
**[16:19] ---**
have no evil presence.
**[16:22] ---**
In the U20 from now on,
**[16:25] ---**
you can safely assume that there
will be no more like Noa Hoshizaki.
**[16:29] ---**
I see.
**[16:32] ---**
However, I cannot believe Shiranui
and the others would enter the U20
**[16:37] ---**
without some purpose in mind.
**[16:41] ---**
If you wish to continue,
please be careful.
**[16:54] ---**
Thank you for today.
**[16:57] ---**
I was also glad to meet you.
**[16:59] ---**
Good luck in the second stage!
**[17:01] ---**
Yes.
**[17:09] ---**
We didn't get any valuable
information in the end.
**[17:13] ---**
Even confirming that Ibuki's dream
was real is a step forward.
**[17:18] ---**
I really should have gotten
into the second stage.
**[17:22] ---**
You were the one who said
you didn't want to steal
**[17:25] ---**
one of the 16 places
for teams to progress.
**[17:29] ---**
Chrono and the others will be alright.
**[17:32] ---**
Let's do what we can for
them from the outside.
**[17:48] ---**
I've worked out why you didn't
say anything about Onimaru to us.
**[17:53] ---**
The regulations from the
second stage onwards will be
**[17:56] ---**
the same as before we
realized the truth about Onimaru.
**[18:00] ---**
There will be no changes.
**[18:02] ---**
So you're saying I should
investigate what Onimaru wants?
**[18:07] ---**
No.
**[18:08] ---**
I'll borrow your power
when it becomes necessary.
**[18:12] ---**
Until then...
**[18:14] ---**
Keep fighting as you have been.
**[18:19] ---**
First, you must remain until the finals.
**[18:22] ---**
The second stage won't be easy.
**[18:42] ---**
Final Turn!
**[18:44] ---**
The ramen will be mine!
**[18:46] ---**
Ah! Chrono!
**[18:48] ---**
Where the hell have you been?
**[18:50] ---**
You sure are relaxed
before the second stage!
**[18:57] ---**
Let's fight.
**[19:00] ---**
Here I come! Attack Vanguard!
**[19:03] ---**
No Guard! Bring it!
**[19:05] ---**
Triple Drive!
**[19:10] ---**
Nice one! You bring him to
five damage in one go!
**[19:13] ---**
Good luck, Chrono!
**[19:15] ---**
What's wrong? You're falling behind!
**[19:18] ---**
I'm gonna finish you off!
**[19:19] ---**
Shut up!
**[19:22] ---**
*That's right.*
**[19:24] ---**
*It doesn't matter
what the Diffriders want!*
**[19:26] ---**
Stand and Draw!
**[19:31] ---**
*Imaging will become your power!*
**[19:34] ---**
*My...*
**[19:35] ---**
*Our Vanguard...*
**[19:38] ---**
*We're fighting to protect our U20!*
**[19:42] ---**
Alright! Come on!
**[19:43] ---**
Stride Generation!
**[19:48] ---**
*I'll finish things.*
**[19:50] ---**
*Not because you're a Diffrider.*
**[19:53] ---**
*But to pay you back for
that day I lost to you!*
**[20:06] ---**
I'll be going now.
**[20:08] ---**
Sorry. I'm counting on you.
**[20:11] ---**
Take care.
**[20:12] ---**
See you later, Kai.
**[20:17] ---**
It's my turn now, isn't it?
**[20:20] ---**
Stride Generation!
**[20:25] ---**
Holy Divine Knight, Gancelot Peace Saver!
**[20:29] ---**
Activate Skill!
**[20:30] ---**
Blaster Blade Exceed goes to my hand!
**[20:33] ---**
Call!
**[20:34] ---**
If his Vanguard is a Saver,
**[20:36] ---**
he can bring Blaster Blade out
with effectively no cost.
**[20:40] ---**
Yeah! Also, Call!
**[20:42] ---**
Attack Vanguard with Gancelot!
**[20:45] ---**
Activate Gancelot's Skill!
**[20:47] ---**
Counter Charge!
**[20:49] ---**
Also, if I have any G-Units face-up
in the G-Zone, I get plus one critical!
**[20:54] ---**
Drive plus one!
**[20:56] ---**
No Guard.
**[21:07] ---**
I'll return to America and talk
with my friends over there.
**[21:12] ---**
First, we need to get as much
information as possible.
**[21:15] ---**
Sorry. I'm leaving you with a lot
of things to take care of again.
**[21:19] ---**
But before that, can I stay to watch
a day of the second stage fights?
**[21:25] ---**
I want to see Chrono's and
Kazumi Onimaru's fights myself.
**[21:30] ---**
I'll prepare a VIP seat for you.
**[21:32] ---**
Eh? You don't have to!
I'm fine with a corner somewhere!
**[23:15] ---**
I've decided!
**[23:17] ---**
Let's search for Noa!
**[23:19] ---**
We can't just go back without him.
**[23:22] ---**
I don't know what's happened
to him but we can't leave him!
**[23:30] ---**
You're right.
**[23:32] ---**
We're destined teammates after all.
**[23:35] ---**
Makoto!
**[23:50] ---**
We're going to search for Noa Hoshizaki.
**[23:57] ---**
Whew! I'm stuffed!
**[23:59] ---**
Ramen paid for by someone
else really is the best!
**[24:02] ---**
Chrono was overcome by tears of joy
as he was holding his wallet, too!
**[24:05] ---**
He must have come to understand
the value of constant training!
**[24:08] ---**
Thanks for the food...
**[24:10] ---**
Right then! Shall we go back to
Capital One and have another match?
**[24:14] ---**
The next U20 has already begun!
**[24:17] ---**
- Yes!
- Yeah.
**[24:18] ---**
We'll be the ones to win in the end!
***SIGN*** TURN 30 The Light from Before
**[24:20] ---**
Trinity Dragon!
**[24:22] ---**
- That's a wrap.
- Wha...?
