[00:03] ---
    The U20 Championship second stage!
[00:10] ---
    The 16 teams which cleared
    the first stage are all here.
[00:15] ---
    What a great lineup!
[00:17] ---
    Which teams will be the ones to
    win a ticket to the final stage?
[00:33] ---
    The U20 Championship's second stage is
[00:38] ---
    "Castle Royale"!
[02:12] ---
    This is where the second
    stage will take place.
[02:20] ---
    The fighters will
[02:22] ---
    climb this five-storey castle,
    searching for,
[02:26] ---
    and fighting their opponents.
[02:29] ---
    Your Fidar will be able to
[02:31] ---
    see the current location
    of all fighters in the castle.
[02:37] ---
    Each fighter will be
[02:39] ---
    given points according to the
    order they cleared the first stage.
[02:48] ---
    When two fighters meet,
[02:50] ---
    either one can challenge
    the other to a fight.
[02:55] ---
    All of the loser's points will be
    taken by the winner,
[03:00] ---
    and will be disqualified.
[03:02] ---
    When a team loses all of its fighters,
    they will leave the stage.
[03:08] ---
    Of the teams that reach the top floor,
[03:11] ---
    the four teams with the most points will
[03:15] ---
    be able to proceed to the final stage.
[03:18] ---
    Those are the rules.
[03:20] ---
    The second stage will begin in 30 minutes.
[03:23] ---
    I wish you luck.
[03:29] ---
    Chrono.
[03:30] ---
    Hey, how's it goin'?
[03:33] ---
    It's severe, like we thought.
[03:34] ---
    Survival. It'll be a fight to the death.
[03:39] ---
    Both of you...
[03:41] ---
    Shion?
[03:42] ---
    Do you have a moment?
SIGN    TURN 30 The Light from Before
[03:54] ---
    We have decided not to fight
    you guys in the second stage.
[04:00] ---
    Also Team Diffrider too.
[04:03] ---
    What do you mean?
[04:05] ---
    As you know, you're out if you lose
    a single match in the second stage.
[04:10] ---
    So we decided to minimize
    the risk of that happening.
[04:14] ---
    Our biggest objective isn't
    victory for ourselves.
[04:18] ---
    It's victory for Fukuhara.
[04:20] ---
    - Hey, Shion!
    - Wait!
[04:22] ---
    Tokoha! Are you okay with this?
[04:26] ---
    It's something Shion has decided.
[04:28] ---
    And it's not like I don't understand.
[04:33] ---
    I'll see you at the final stage then.
[04:36] ---
    There's something I'm aiming for, too.
[04:49] ---
    Was that really okay, Shion?
[04:51] ---
    Yes. That's how it should be.
[04:53] ---
    But you were the one who wanted to
    fight Shindou and the others the most!
[05:03] ---
    You shouldn't lie to yourself!
    I'll do my best as well!
[05:07] ---
    I've already decided!
[05:10] ---
    Shion...
[05:12] ---
    Right now, the earlier each team cleared
[05:15] ---
    the first stage, the more points they have.
[05:19] ---
    Team Diffrider, who cleared it first,
[05:22] ---
    each have 16 points.
[05:25] ---
    The team has a total of 48 points.
[05:27] ---
    By comparison, we, who were 15th,
    have 2 points each.
[05:31] ---
    We only have 6 points together.
[05:36] ---
    We don't have any choice.
[05:38] ---
    In order to clear this stage,
    we must reduce our risk.
[05:44] ---
    Five minutes before
    the second stage starts.
[05:46] ---
    Fighters, please enter the first floor.
[05:50] ---
    Let's go.
[05:55] ---
    Now, the second stage,
    Castle Royale has finally started!
[06:01] ---
    The fighters positions are as shown.
[06:03] ---
    They are also shown
    on each fighter's Fidar!
[06:07] ---
    Fight to your hearts content or save
    your points and flee without fighting!
[06:12] ---
    It's all up to the fighters!
[06:15] ---
    Fights begin with a
    challenge from a fighter!
[06:19] ---
    And of course, you cannot refuse!
[06:25] ---
    Alright! One win to begin!
[06:27] ---
    Oh! Tokoha Anjou already has one win!
[06:30] ---
    Damn it! I can't believe I'm out already!
[06:32] ---
    The 12 points Team
    Barrister's Yuki Kisanagi had
[06:36] ---
    all go to Tokoha Anjou!
[06:40] ---
    Tokoha!
[06:42] ---
    Kumi!
[06:43] ---
    You did it, Tokoha!
[06:46] ---
    This way, we can plan our strategy
    when we're not fighting. We'll manage.
[06:51] ---
    Yeah! I'll do my best too!
[06:54] ---
    We need to get loads of points!
    Let's do our best, Kumi!
[06:58] ---
    By the way, what's Enishi-chi doing?
[07:00] ---
    If I win, all of your points will be mine!
[07:04] ---
    These aren't my points.
    They're my team's points.
[07:08] ---
    I can't hand them over to you.
[07:10] ---
    Let's fight!
[07:13] ---
    Idiots! You can all destroy each other.
[07:16] ---
    That way, I'll have a chance as well!
[07:22] ---
    K-Kazumi Onimaru!
[07:24] ---
    I have 16 points.
[07:26] ---
    If you win, they'll be all yours.
[07:29] ---
    16?!
[07:30] ---
    B-Bring it on! I'll take them from you!
[07:37] ---
    The weak should leave.
[07:44] ---
    Attack Vanguard!
[07:47] ---
    Perfect Guard, then...
[07:49] ---
    Ah...This is tiresome.
[07:52] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Atagolord!
[07:55] ---
    This is...Kazumi Onimaru?
[07:59] ---
    Weak. So that was your level?
[08:03] ---
    Something like this affecting our destiny?
[08:06] ---
    What value is there in such a weak being,
[08:14] ---
    Miguel?
[08:26] ---
    Attack Vanguard!
[08:29] ---
    Guard!
[08:32] ---
    Humans, huh?
[08:35] ---
    Stride Generation!
[08:37] ---
    Sunrise Ray Radiant Sword, Gurguit!
[08:41] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Gurguit!
[08:44] ---
    I won't lose!
[08:46] ---
    The three of us will definitely
    go to the final stage!
[08:54] ---
    Alright!
[08:55] ---
    He did it! It's a magnificent
    win for Taiyou Asukawa!
[09:02] ---
    You're Team Diffrider's...
[09:09] ---
    A-are you alright?
[09:12] ---
    Don't worry about it. This always happens.
[09:17] ---
    S-So tall...
[09:19] ---
    I was watching your fight.
[09:21] ---
    Would you fight me next?
[09:46] ---
    Verno Fahrenheart,
    a member of Team Diffrider.
[09:50] ---
    If I win here, we'll suddenly
    gain a lot of points!
[09:53] ---
    Now, show me your light.
[10:01] ---
    Stand Up, Vanguard!
[10:08] ---
    Taiyou is fighting a member
    of Team Diffrider!
[10:12] ---
    Don't lose, Taiyou!
[10:14] ---
    In Area C, a fight is in progress between
    Verno Fahrenheart and Taiyou Asukawa.
[10:20] ---
    The third turn has just ended and
    they each have two damage.
[10:24] ---
    If the lowest placing team in the
    preliminaries wins against the top,
[10:28] ---
    they'll gain 16 points.
    This is an important fight for them!
[10:32] ---
    Ride.
[10:35] ---
    Goddess of Favorable Wind, Ninnil.
[10:37] ---
    Ninnil's Revelation.
[10:38] ---
    Here it is! On the fourth turn,
    Verno Fahrenheart has used
[10:43] ---
    a Genesis Revelation and is
    going to change her own future!
[10:47] ---
    Look at the top card in my deck and
    either send it to my deck or to my soul.
[10:52] ---
    To my soul.
[10:54] ---
    Call Battle Maiden, Senri.
[10:57] ---
    Also, Senri's Revelation.
[11:03] ---
    She returned the card to her deck.
    That card must be-
[11:07] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Ninnil.
[11:10] ---
    I can defend even if she gets
    a Trigger, but right now...
[11:14] ---
    No Guard!
[11:16] ---
    Drive Check.
[11:18] ---
    Critical Trigger.
[11:20] ---
    The Power goes to Senri.
[11:22] ---
    The Critical goes to my Vanguard.
[11:25] ---
    Damage Check!
[11:27] ---
    A Heal Trigger!
[11:29] ---
    Add 5000 Power to my Vanguard!
[11:31] ---
    Recover one damage!
[11:33] ---
    Alright!
[11:35] ---
    I see.
[11:36] ---
    He took my attack so he could draw a
    Trigger and save the cards in his hand.
[11:44] ---
    She's a mysterious person.
[11:47] ---
    But I need to focus on my own Vanguard.
[11:51] ---
    Ride!
[11:54] ---
    Golden Holy Sword, Gurguit!
[11:58] ---
    Call!
[12:00] ---
    Attack with Perimore and Scarface!
[12:04] ---
    Guard.
[12:07] ---
    It's not over yet!
[12:08] ---
    Attack Vanguard with
    Golden Holy Sword, Gurguit!
[12:12] ---
    Scarface's Skill! Draw one card
[12:16] ---
    and add 5000 Power to my Vanguard!
[12:21] ---
    This is...
[12:26] ---
    Attack with Perimore!
[12:33] ---
    You shine nicely.
[12:35] ---
    Will you show me, I wonder?
[12:37] ---
    The answer I've been searching for.
[12:55] ---
    You are...
[12:57] ---
    I've been waiting for you,
    Verno Fahrenheart.
[13:02] ---
    Oh, I see.
    You're my teammate, Kazumi Onimaru.
[13:06] ---
    It's been a while.
[13:17] ---
    I never thought my teammate
    would be another Diffrider.
[13:21] ---
    I've heard that lots of Vanguard
    fighters will be gathered.
[13:24] ---
    I'm looking forward to it, but are you?
[13:28] ---
    I'll test them.
[13:30] ---
    Whether they're really worthy of being our
    Vanguard and entrusting our future to.
[13:37] ---
    Hmm...
[13:39] ---
    I don't really understand
    what Kazumi meant.
[13:42] ---
    But I want to see for myself,
    in my own way.
[13:46] ---
    I want to see the human beings.
[13:49] ---
    Spinning wisdom and
    shooting through truth,
[13:51] ---
    Ride!
[13:54] ---
    Prime Beauty, Amaruda.
[13:58] ---
    Amaruda's Revelation.
[14:00] ---
    To my Soul.
[14:01] ---
    Activate Senri's Skill.
[14:03] ---
    Add 2000 Power to Senri.
[14:05] ---
    Here it comes!
[14:07] ---
    Stride Generation!
[14:14] ---
    Goddess of Investigation, Ishtar.
[14:21] ---
    Ishtar's Revelation.
[14:24] ---
    Amaruda's Stride Skill.
[14:26] ---
    Soul Charge.
[14:28] ---
    Add 4000 Power to Ishtar and Senri.
[14:31] ---
    Draw one card.
[14:32] ---
    Call Ninnil.
[14:34] ---
    Ninnil's Revelation.
[14:36] ---
    Also, Ninnil's Skill.
[14:38] ---
    Gains the power of a Rested card.
    Add 9000 Power.
[14:42] ---
    Kukurihime and Nakisawame's Skills.
[14:45] ---
    Stand Senri.
[14:47] ---
    Verno Fahrenheart has strengthened her
    Soul with Revelations and Stride Skills,
[14:51] ---
    She is perfectly prepared to attack!
[14:54] ---
    How will Taiyou Asukawa
    respond to this lineup?!
[14:58] ---
    Here I go.
[14:59] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Senri.
[15:03] ---
    Intercept!
[15:06] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Ishtar.
[15:09] ---
    Perfect Guard!
[15:11] ---
    Triple Drive.
[15:13] ---
    Critical Trigger.
[15:16] ---
    All of its effects go to Ninnil.
[15:18] ---
    Second Check.
[15:19] ---
    It's a Grade 1 or greater,
    so Ishtar's Skill activates.
[15:23] ---
    Add 3000 Power to Senri.
[15:26] ---
    Kibitsuhime has Revelation
    so Senri Stands.
[15:29] ---
    Third Check.
    Ishtar's Skill activates again.
[15:33] ---
    Add 3000 Power to Ninnil and Senri.
[15:35] ---
    Standing all her Rear-guards even though
    she didn't draw a Stand Trigger?!
[15:41] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Ninnil.
[15:45] ---
    No Guard!
[15:48] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Senri.
[15:50] ---
    Generation Guard!
[15:52] ---
    Golden Beast, Sleimy Flare!
[15:58] ---
    H-He survived it!
[16:00] ---
    He read Verno Fahrenheart's attacks
[16:03] ---
    and just barely survived with five damage!
[16:06] ---
    I decided to move forward.
[16:09] ---
    Just defending isn't my way now.
[16:11] ---
    You... No,
[16:14] ---
    I'll overcome myself and beyond!
[16:16] ---
    Stride Generation!
[16:20] ---
    Holy Sword of Heavenly Law, Gurguit!
[16:29] ---
    I knew it. This light is the one I felt then!
[16:34] ---
    My first stage...
[16:37] ---
    I won.
[16:41] ---
    And I lost.
[16:44] ---
    But each of those battles
    helped me move forward!
[16:49] ---
    They made me want to test myself!
[16:52] ---
    I want to know what's waiting
    at the end of my possibilities!
[16:55] ---
    That's why I won't let it end here!
[16:58] ---
    Stride Skill!
[17:00] ---
    Superior Call Perimore!
[17:02] ---
    Also, Superior Call
    Flame of Victory to Rest!
[17:06] ---
    Unite Achieved!
[17:09] ---
    Perimore's Skill!
[17:11] ---
    Superior Call Gorboduc!
[17:13] ---
    Also, Coel's Unite!
[17:16] ---
    Superior Call Conanus!
[17:20] ---
    Holy Sword of Heavenly Law,
    Gurguit's Skill!
[17:29] ---
    Add 2000 Power to all of my Units!
[17:33] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Conanus!
[17:37] ---
    No Guard.
[17:42] ---
    Damage Check.
[17:45] ---
    Critical Trigger.
[17:46] ---
    All of its effects go to my Vanguard.
[17:52] ---
    I decided to try copying your idea.
[17:55] ---
    It was a good decision.
[17:58] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Holy Sword
    of Heavenly Law, Gurguit!
[18:02] ---
    I'll finish this now!
[18:04] ---
    Unite with Gurguit!
[18:06] ---
    Superior Call Henrinus!
[18:10] ---
    Also, Henrinus' Skill!
[18:12] ---
    Superior Call Conanus!
[18:14] ---
    Add 3000 Power to Henrinus and Conanus!
[18:17] ---
    Taiyou Asukawa! He used his
    Skills to replenish his ranks!
[18:23] ---
    I want to show everyone the new me!
[18:26] ---
    But I won't be guided by anyone!
[18:29] ---
    I'll carve a path for myself!
[18:34] ---
    It's a nice light.
[18:36] ---
    Perfect Guard with Kibitsuhime.
[18:40] ---
    Triple Drive!
[18:42] ---
    Critical Trigger!
[18:43] ---
    All of its effects go to Henrinus!
[18:46] ---
    Third Check!
[18:47] ---
    Critical Trigger!
[18:49] ---
    All of its effects go to Perimore!
[18:51] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Perimore!
[18:53] ---
    Guard.
[18:55] ---
    Henrinus! Attack Vanguard!
[18:58] ---
    Go!
[18:59] ---
    Guard.
[19:03] ---
    The Trigger she drew first
    has blocked his attack!
[19:05] ---
    And she magnificently
    blocked his Double Critical!
[19:08] ---
    As expected of Verno Fahrenheart!
[19:12] ---
    I only used what I learned from you.
[19:15] ---
    But I have learned something
    even more valuable from you.
[19:24] ---
    Humans really are interesting.
[19:29] ---
    Generation Zone Release!
[19:57] ---
    An image of the fight!
[19:58] ---
    No, it isn't. This feels real!
[20:02] ---
    It's wonderful, isn't it?
[20:04] ---
    Verno?
[20:06] ---
    Ever since I became able to
    see your world in this sky,
[20:10] ---
    I always admired it.
[20:16] ---
    This is our-
[20:18] ---
    I always wondered what
    lay beyond that light.
[20:24] ---
    But I have finally learned what
    it is from my fight with you.
[20:28] ---
    That light is human potential.
[20:31] ---
    Potential?
[20:34] ---
    I found the answer that had eluded
    me so quickly by meeting you.
[20:39] ---
    That may have been my only good fortune.
[20:44] ---
    Verno, what are you-
[20:46] ---
    It is regretful, but it's time to end this.
    Thank you, Taiyou.
[20:55] ---
    Stride Generation.
[21:06] ---
    I'm sorry. I lost.
[21:08] ---
    Taiyou! Are you alright?
[21:10] ---
    Your opponent was a Team Diffrider member?
[21:13] ---
    She was that strong?
[21:14] ---
    Yes...
[21:16] ---
    It felt like she had complete
    control of the fight.
[21:19] ---
    And...
[21:21] ---
    What's wrong? Did something happen?
[21:24] ---
    No...For a moment during the fight, I-
[21:28] ---
    It felt like I was really on Planet Cray
[21:32] ---
    with her...
[21:35] ---
    Huh? What's that about?
[21:37] ---
    I'm sorry. It doesn't make sense, does it?
[21:40] ---
    Forget it.
[21:42] ---
    Are you alright? You aren't hurt at all?
[21:45] ---
    Y-Yes...
[21:47] ---
    I'm sorry.
    I didn't mean to lose so quickly.
[21:51] ---
    You can't help what's happened.
[21:53] ---
    Rest up for now.
[21:55] ---
    We'll take care of the rest!
[21:57] ---
    Kazuma, thank you.
[22:01] ---
    You did well. Leave the rest to us.
[22:05] ---
    Okay!
[22:10] ---
    Taiyou...Lost.
[23:55] ---
    Yeah. He said something strange
    about Planet Cray.
[24:00] ---
    Do you know something?
[24:02] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[24:04] ---
    Planey Cray is the planet
    where the Units we image live.
[24:09] ---
    Huh? What has that got
    to do with Team Diffrider?
[24:13] ---
    I don't know either...
[24:16] ---
    Well, I'm sure we'll find out
    once we've beaten them.
SIGN    TURN 31 Fragile Living Things
[24:20] ---
    So that's all we can do, huh?
