[00:02] ---
    A fighter you're interested in?
[00:04] ---
    What's he like?
[00:06] ---
    He's a freshman in Harumi High, like me,
    and he asked me to teach him to play.
[00:12] ---
    He had great imagination and
    seemed to be enjoying playing.
[00:16] ---
    Until partway through...
[00:19] ---
    Until partway through?
[00:22] ---
    He suddenly quit the fight and went home.
[00:26] ---
    If he'd held out, he might have
    been able to make a comeback...
[00:37] ---
    Wasn't he just scared of you
    because you're too good?
[00:41] ---
    No! Well...I might have gotten into
    the game a bit too much but...
[00:46] ---
    Sorry!
[00:47] ---
    Chrono, when you're finished there,
    could you take an inventory?
[00:52] ---
    Ah, yes!
[00:53] ---
    - Sorry!
    - That's okay.
[02:38] ---
    H-Hey...
[02:40] ---
    - About our fight before...
    - Oh, that.
[02:43] ---
    My bad.
[02:45] ---
    I'd gotten the hang of it,
    so I didn't need anymore teaching.
[02:48] ---
    Thanks man.
[02:51] ---
    Shindou-kun?
[02:54] ---
    Okazaki...
[02:55] ---
    Good morning!
[02:56] ---
    Are you friends with Shouji from my class?
[03:01] ---
    From your class?
SIGN    Turn 3 Kazuma's Ritual
[03:11] ---
    This goes like this,
    so this goes like this...
[03:15] ---
    And this is the result.
[03:21] ---
    Hey! Put some effort into it, Shouji!
[03:28] ---
    This will be on the test,
    so make sure you revise it.
[03:32] ---
    Kazuma Shouji, right?
[03:35] ---
    He isn't very interested in classes,
    but his grades are actually quite good.
[03:41] ---
    He doesn't seem to be in any clubs either.
    It's like he's always on his own.
[03:48] ---
    Oh...And there's a rumor that he
    hangs around with some scary guys.
[04:02] ---
    Will you fight me one more time?
[04:05] ---
    If you'd continued, you might have won.
[04:07] ---
    Your deck was definitely
    responding to you.
[04:10] ---
    Let's play seriously next time.
    It'll be an amazing fight!
[04:15] ---
    What's the benefit in that?
[04:23] ---
    Go fetch!
[04:27] ---
    Hey!
[04:34] ---
    Jeez...What's his problem?
[04:38] ---
    What's the benefit in that?
[04:53] ---
    I'll activate a skill then!
[04:56] ---
    Call! Call! Call!
[04:59] ---
    Seriously?!
[05:00] ---
    Kazuma, you're playing better than before.
[05:03] ---
    I remembered a few tricks, that's all.
[05:05] ---
    What's that supposed to mean?
[05:07] ---
    Here's where it gets serious!
[05:09] ---
    Attack your Vanguard!
[05:12] ---
    It's not over yet! If I get even a
    little bit serious, it'll be all over!
[05:30] ---
    That guy...
[05:33] ---
    In a building under construction?
[05:35] ---
    Yeah, there's an empty building
    by the river, right?
[05:39] ---
    He looked like he was enjoying
    fighting his friends there.
[05:42] ---
    So it's not as if he hates
    Vanguard now then.
[05:45] ---
    Probably.
[05:46] ---
    Why did he only quit during
    his fight with you then?!
[05:50] ---
    That's what I want to know!
[05:54] ---
    Even though you were kind
    enough to teach him...
[05:57] ---
    Chrono!
[05:59] ---
    Could you give the customers over
    there some deck-building advice?
[06:03] ---
    Ah, yes!
[06:12] ---
    Thank you!
[06:15] ---
    Sorry about that, Taiyou.
[06:19] ---
    Taiyou?
[06:21] ---
    A fighter who Chrono
    is that interested in...
[06:25] ---
    I want to see what he's like for myself!
[06:46] ---
    What's a kid doing here?
[06:49] ---
    Hey! You've got something nice there!
[06:54] ---
    Give it back please!
[06:56] ---
    We'll be taking it as a token of kindness.
[07:00] ---
    Y-You can't! That's-
[07:02] ---
    Leave it at that!
[07:05] ---
    He's a kid from my neighborhood.
[07:08] ---
    He's always bugging me to play with him.
[07:12] ---
    Enough of that though.
    You lost in a fight.
[07:16] ---
    Go buy me something from the store.
[07:20] ---
    Alright already!
[07:21] ---
    Tch. What the hell's up with that?
[07:28] ---
    A Harumi high school uniform... So he's...
[07:55] ---
    Hey! This is a treasure to you kids, right?
    No matter what happens, don't let go of it.
[08:03] ---
    Thank you.
[08:05] ---
    This ain't a place for
    elementary school kids to play.
[08:08] ---
    Go home now.
[08:10] ---
    I'm in middle school!
    And I'm not here to play!
[08:16] ---
    Please fight me.
[08:20] ---
    Fight you?
[08:23] ---
    Taiyou!
[08:25] ---
    You were here after all!
    Why did you run off all of a sudden?
[08:29] ---
    I'm sorry. But I...
[08:32] ---
    Hey, curly head!
[08:35] ---
    What are you trying to pull,
    using a kid like him?
[08:39] ---
    Are you a stalker?
[08:41] ---
    - No! I just...
    - Chrono has nothing to do with it!
[08:45] ---
    More importantly, I want to fight you!
[08:48] ---
    Please show me your power!
[08:51] ---
    Hey now...
[08:52] ---
    Hang on Taiyou. I was first then.
[08:55] ---
    We're going to continue our fight!
[08:57] ---
    That's not fair, Chrono!
    I was here first. I should go first!
[09:02] ---
    No. I should!
    I was fighting him first, so I should...
[09:07] ---
    I should!
[09:09] ---
    - No, me!
    - Me!
[09:10] ---
    - It's my turn!
    - Shall we fight to decide it then?
[09:16] ---
    Alright, alright.
    I just have to fight you, right?
[09:19] ---
    However, if I win, you have to
    stop following me around!
[09:23] ---
    - Okay!
    - I understand.
[09:25] ---
    Let's go first come first served, then.
[09:28] ---
    Elementary school kid. I'll fight you.
[09:31] ---
    Thank you!
[09:35] ---
    Um! Can I say something?
[09:38] ---
    I'm in middle school!
[09:45] ---
    Stand up! Vanguard!
[10:01] ---
    Ride!
[10:03] ---
    Dragheart, Luard.
[10:06] ---
    I call Dragwizard, Knies. Abyssal Owl,
    and Black-Winged Swordbreaker!
[10:12] ---
    Attack!
[10:21] ---
    I'll judge his power for myself!
[10:26] ---
    Taiyou has taken three damage.
    Kazuma has taken one.
[10:31] ---
    He's calling and attacking aggressively
    from the start just like yesterday.
[10:37] ---
    But Taiyou's stride is coming next.
[10:41] ---
    A fight says everything about a person.
[10:45] ---
    Let's see who you are, Kazuma Shouji!
[10:48] ---
    Ride!
[10:51] ---
    Sunrise Ray Knight,
[10:54] ---

    I'll Superior Call Jeffrey!
[11:14] ---
    Additionally, use Perimore's skill to
    Superior Call another Jeffrey!
[11:20] ---
    I have called two or more units,
    so Unite requirements have been met.
[11:23] ---
    He keeps bringing them out...
[11:26] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Pwyll!
[11:32] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Ebraucus!
[11:35] ---

[12:14] ---
    Activate Skill!
[12:16] ---
    Swordbreaker to the Guardian Circle!
[12:21] ---
    Turn End.
[12:23] ---
    I underestimated you,
    thinking you were a kid.
[12:29] ---
    But...It's over now!
[12:32] ---
    Stride Generation!
[12:38] ---
    Dark Dragon, Carnivore Dragon!
[12:41] ---
    Stride Skill!
[12:43] ---
    Retreat Rute! Superior Call
    Knies and Swordbreaker!
[12:47] ---
    Rute's skill adds 5000
    Power to Swordbreaker!
[12:51] ---
    Swordbreaker's Skill! Draw one card.
[12:56] ---
    I now have three or more
    Grade 1 cards in my drop zone.
[13:01] ---
    Requirements for Ritual complete!
[13:05] ---
    Activate Carnivore Dragon's skill!
    Retreat Abyssal Owl!
[13:09] ---
    You have to choose two
    Rear-guards to retreat.
[13:17] ---
    I retreat Perimore and Pwyll.
[13:23] ---
    I move Knies.
    And Call Dragwizard Morfessa.
[13:28] ---

    All of its effects go to Morfessa!
[13:45] ---
    Third check.
[13:46] ---
    Critical Trigger!
[13:49] ---
    This is payback.
[13:52] ---
    Both effects go to Morfessa!
[13:56] ---
    His deck is responding to him!
[14:00] ---
    Attack with Morfessa!
[14:02] ---
    Ritual! Plus 5000 Power!
[14:07] ---
    Perfect Guard!
[14:13] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Swordbreaker!
[14:17] ---
    No Guard!
[14:23] ---
    After all that, I only dealt one damage?!
[14:27] ---
    I've pretty much figured it out.
[14:30] ---
    Your deck flows nicely and is well-built.
[14:34] ---
    I can see why Chrono
    was interested in you.
[14:37] ---
    But...
[14:39] ---
    Stride Generation!
[14:43] ---

    Power to all of my Rear guards!
[15:19] ---
    This is the power of my Gold Paladin!
[15:22] ---
    This guy...
[15:33] ---
    If you're gonna to give up, now's the time.
[15:36] ---
    You're scared of losing, right?
[15:39] ---
    You can just throw the game
    like you did last time.
[15:43] ---
    If you do that, you won't win,
    but you won't lose either.
[16:11] ---
    Shut up!
[16:14] ---
    Shut up and watch!
[16:16] ---
    Is that all you've got?
    I can defend against that!
[16:21] ---
    Come on!
[16:22] ---
    Gurguit, Attack!
[16:24] ---

[16:26] ---

    If he gets another Trigger...
    I won't be able to defend against it!

    No Trigger.
[17:00] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Bullrgal!
[17:04] ---
    Generation Guard!
[17:05] ---
    Dark Dragon, Plotmaker Dragon!
[17:10] ---
    Ritual! Shield plus 10,000!
[17:16] ---
    Damn!
[17:18] ---
     I survived somehow, but I don't
    have any cards left in my hand.
[17:22] ---
    Not yet! It's not over yet!
[17:26] ---
    With the next draw...
[17:37] ---
    This...won't even let me Stride.
[17:42] ---
    Yeah, that's right...
[17:44] ---
    It's always been like this.
[17:48] ---
    I always...
[18:03] ---
    You...
[18:05] ---
    I see. You were there?
[18:12] ---
    You waited for me?
[18:15] ---
    You say you'll help me win?
[18:21] ---
    Alright.
[18:23] ---
    Luard's Ritual!
[18:25] ---
    By returning normal units to
    the deck from the drop zone,
[18:29] ---
    it can use Stride without paying a cost!
[18:31] ---
    A Stride using no cards from your hand?
[18:34] ---
    Devour!
[18:35] ---
    Until you seize the world you are seeking!
[18:38] ---
    Stride Generation!
[18:43] ---
    Dragdriver,
[18:48] ---
    Luard!
[18:52] ---
    I'll be the one to win in the end!
[18:54] ---
    Stride Skill!
[18:56] ---
    Superior Call Knies and Abyssal Owl!
[18:59] ---
    Knies' Ritual!
[19:01] ---
    Plus 2000 Power!
[19:03] ---
    Dragdriver Luard's Ritual!
[19:05] ---
    Superior Call one Grade 1 for
    every revealed Luard in the G Zone.
[19:10] ---
    And use his skill to add 1000 Power for
    each Grade 1 card in the Drop Zone!
[19:16] ---
    For a total of Plus 6000 Power!
[19:18] ---
    Call Liafail!
[19:22] ---
    This is my...
[19:24] ---
    Vanguard!
[19:29] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Dragdriver, Luard!
[19:35] ---
    This attack... I can't block it all!
[19:40] ---
    I'll have to...
[19:42] ---
    No Guard!
[19:43] ---
    Triple Drive!
[19:46] ---
    Second check.
[19:51] ---
    Respond...
[19:55] ---
    To my call!
[20:03] ---
    A Critical Trigger!
[20:06] ---
    The Power goes to Knies
    and the Critical to Luard!
[20:32] ---
    I...Won?
[20:35] ---
    I did?
[20:40] ---
    I see...
    This is the real Vanguard.
[20:45] ---
    Your deck responded to you.
[20:48] ---
    The cards gathered in the Drop Zone
    gave you their power through Ritual
[20:53] ---
    which let you use that final Stride.
[20:56] ---
    Your fight...Was what guided you.
[21:05] ---
    Say, would you join our team?
[21:09] ---
    Chrono?
[21:10] ---
    We're thinking of entering the
    Under 20 Championship.
[21:15] ---
    We need a partner who
    will fight alongside us.
[21:20] ---
    You can definitely become more powerful!
[21:23] ---
    Don't you want to become better than
    you are now and move forward?
[21:32] ---
    I'm not interested.
[21:35] ---
    I won, so never follow me around again.
[21:38] ---
    He does certainly seem promising...
[21:41] ---
    And above all, he's a
    fighter you've recognized.
[21:44] ---
    Okay! You can join our team.
[21:48] ---
    Look here...
[21:50] ---
    Alright. We'll start training tomorrow.
[21:52] ---
    That reminds me...The association's
    Legend Coach system has begun, apparently.
[21:58] ---
    Oh!...We should register for it!
[22:02] ---
    You guys are idiots, aren't you?
[22:06] ---
    You don't have anything better to do.
    Why not try being an idiot sometimes?
[23:53] ---
    We've got our team together now and
    we're headed for the Under 20 Championship!
[23:57] ---
    Let's do our best, Taiyou!
[23:59] ---
    Yes! We're counting on you, Kazuma!
[24:03] ---
    This is just something to kill time for me.
[24:05] ---
    And what gives you the right
    to call me with my first name?
[24:08] ---
    Eh?... Shouji-san, then?
[24:11] ---
    It doesn't really fit his image...
[24:13] ---
    Kazuma-senpai, then!
[24:15] ---
    Kazuma-kun...Kazuma-chan...Kazuma-sama...?
SIGN    The "Ki" Prince of Fukuhara
[24:20] ---
    Kazuma-san's fine!
