[00:33] ---
    Stop it!
[00:35] ---
    What do you mean to do with that unit?!
[00:38] ---
    Stop it! Rive!
[00:47] ---
    Why?! Why are you betraying me?!
[00:51] ---
    Rive, wait! Rive!
[00:59] ---
    It's... my fault?
[01:02] ---
    Forget it, Chrono. Nothing happened here.
[01:07] ---
    Because I... that kid?
[01:12] ---
    You didn't do anything.
[01:14] ---
    Forget it. Forget about the units,
    Vanguard, everything...
[01:48] ---
    Mikuru knew, too!
[01:51] ---
    Everyone knew and they hid it from me!
[02:05] ---
    You're up already?
[02:10] ---
    It seems this body requires too much sleep.
[03:49] ---
    So this is also one of the
    Association's services.
[03:52] ---
    These children who can't go home
    for various reasons are taken care of here.
[03:59] ---
    One of my jobs is protecting
    the children's future.
[04:07] ---
    It seems they totally failed.
[04:09] ---
    Failed?
[04:11] ---
    To keep you under surveillance.
[04:13] ---
    To Kouji Ibuki, you're only a weapon.
[04:18] ---
    That's what he thinks about me?
[04:20] ---
    And I'm not talking about
    a long time ago, either.
[04:23] ---
    I believe it was after you went to see Ibuki,
     following your encounter with me.
[04:30] ---
    You know a lot about what's goin' on, too.
[04:34] ---
    I want you, too.
[04:39] ---
    You're the son of the man
    who was my only friend.
[04:47] ---
    I want to grasp the true future with you.
[04:52] ---
    Vanguard really will change the world.

[05:04] ---
    Where is Chrono Shindou?
[05:06] ---
    I'm sorry...
[05:11] ---
    Find him at all costs!
[05:14] ---
    To be honest, this is
    still unbelievable to me!
[05:17] ---
    Truly.
[05:18] ---
    To think the honorable Chairman Ryuzu
    was involved in a conspiracy...
[05:23] ---
    But the data that was submitted
    seems to be indisputable.
[05:29] ---
    The one thing I won't tolerate is the cute
    kids at my branch being steamrolled by this!
[05:35] ---
    Where is the United Sanctuary Branch Chief?
[05:37] ---
    Carrying out an investigation overseas
    related to this matter.
[05:40] ---
    I am acting as his proxy today.
[05:44] ---
    And the Dark Zone Branch Chief?
[05:46] ---
    We still haven't found him.
[05:53] ---
    Then let's begin this meeting
    of the temporary branch chiefs.
[05:58] ---
    I attack your Vanguard!
[06:00] ---
    Guard! Intercept!
[06:05] ---
    Tokoha, turn end.
[06:09] ---
    Sorry! Stand and draw!
[06:16] ---
    Mr. Enishi, the missing Dark Zone
    Branch Chief, is in the lobby!
[06:26] ---
    What are you talkin' about, "true future"?
[06:30] ---
    Ultimately, what's your goal?
[06:34] ---
    To stride means grabbing
    a possible future of Vanguard.
[06:39] ---
    I'm trying to do the same thing.
[06:43] ---
    Out of the multitude of
    possibilities in this world,
[06:46] ---
    I wish to grasp the best one
    and make it come true.
[06:51] ---
    Why do you suppose our ancestors
    abandoned the sea and headed for land?
[06:57] ---
    They probably discovered something beyond
    the world in which they couldn't even breathe.
[07:04] ---
    Don't you think this world
    has strayed far from
[07:08] ---
    the frontier they saw in their dreams?
[07:13] ---
    Kouji Ibuki, Mamoru Anjou,
    all of the gathered Branch Chiefs...
[07:19] ---
    We are going to decide your fate.
[07:22] ---
    Huh? That's Mr. Enishi,
    the Dark Zone Branch Chief!
[07:26] ---
    Shouldn't we go outside, too?
[07:30] ---
    We're going to make you all realize
    how foolish you are for defying the Association,
[07:36] ---
    even though you're members.
[07:39] ---
    Defying the Association?
[07:44] ---
    Spreading the enjoyment of Vanguard...
    Which of us has betrayed that ideal?!
[07:49] ---
    Anjou...
[07:50] ---
    Let me...
[07:53] ---
    ...be our representative for this trial!
[07:56] ---
    Before their judgment...
[07:58] ---
    ...allow me to fight today.
[08:05] ---
    Looks like they're gonna start!
[08:07] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[08:22] ---
    Here I go!
[08:23] ---
    Stride Generation!
[08:26] ---
    Divine Dragon Knight, Mustafa!
[08:29] ---
    Stride skill! I retire Ordonnaz!
[08:32] ---
    And then I call!
[08:34] ---
    Musatafa's skill activates!
[08:36] ---
    I retire Yellow Bolt!
[08:38] ---
    Mustafa attacks your Vanguard!
[08:41] ---
    I activate Dragon Knight, Nadel's skill!
[08:44] ---
    I put Mustafa in a blazing state
    and Counter-charge!
[08:48] ---
    Kagerou's Blaze ability activates
    if you have more rear-guards than your opponent,
[08:52] ---
    when you attack.
[08:54] ---
    Anjou has met that condition
    by combining it with retiring skills.
[08:59] ---
    No guard.
[09:01] ---
    Triple drive!
[09:04] ---
    Critical trigger!
[09:05] ---
    I give the extra critical to Mustafa
    and the power to Twilight!
[09:10] ---
    Enishi!
[09:13] ---
    Why did you support Myoujin while
    being a member of the Association?!
[09:19] ---
    Our job is to protect
[09:22] ---
    everyone's smiles through Vanguard!
[09:28] ---
    Guard.
[09:30] ---
    I devour and control the darkness...
[09:33] ---
    For the sake of the world
    that we should seize.
[09:36] ---
    Stride Generation!
[09:38] ---
    Mask of Demonic Frenzy, Ericrius.
[09:42] ---
    Stride skill.
[09:43] ---
    I call Squallmaker,
[09:46] ---
    Doppel Vampir, and Alluring Succubus.
[09:50] ---
    Skill activated.
[09:52] ---
    Soulcharge.
[09:57] ---
    Dark Irregulars' normal practice, huh?
[10:02] ---
    Eleven cards.
[10:03] ---
    Mr. Myoujin's ideal hasn't changed at all
    since he founded the Association.
[10:09] ---
    That is using the power of Vanguard
    to spread happiness around the world.
[10:14] ---
    That is my only purpose, as well.
[10:18] ---
    We are here to shine a righteous light
    upon the future of this murky world.
[10:24] ---
    Skill activated!
[10:25] ---
    Soul-charge!
[10:27] ---
    And +5000 power.
[10:39] ---
    This world is so imperfect,
[10:44] ---
    full of sorrow, pain, and war.
[10:47] ---
    You, your friends,
[10:51] ---
    and myself, as well.
[10:55] ---
    All human beings suffer from pain.
[11:01] ---
    Even though we're all the same that way,
    for some reason, we can't become one.
[11:06] ---
    Even though that should actually
    be a simple thing to do...
[11:10] ---
    I just want everyone to smile.
[11:18] ---
    Through the future that will be
    brought to us via the Stride Gate,
[11:22] ---
    people's hatred will dissolve,
    they will forget war,
[11:26] ---
    and an age will come upon us
     in which everything
[11:29] ---
    is decided through robust reasoning
    and gentle dialog.
[11:32] ---
    Mask of Demonic Frenzy, Ericrius
    attacks your Vanguard.
[11:36] ---
    Darkness activated!
[11:38] ---
    It's activated if a card was put
    into the Soul during this turn.
[11:43] ---
    Devouring the darkness and
    cloaking oneself in it
[11:46] ---
    is the quintessence of Dark Irregulars!
[11:50] ---
    On top of that, Soulcharge!
[11:52] ---
    That makes a total of fifteen cards.
[11:55] ---
    I get +1000 power for every card in the Soul.
[11:58] ---
    In other words, +15000 power!
[12:02] ---
    Stride skill.
[12:03] ---
    I choose one rear-guard to retire.
[12:10] ---
    I will bring a peaceful future to everyone.
[12:13] ---
    That is my wish, and mine alone!
[12:18] ---
    Perfect guard!
[12:19] ---
    Drive check!
[12:24] ---
    Can you really do that?
[12:28] ---
    The power of the imagination is infinite.
[12:32] ---
    I'm sure you know that.
[12:36] ---
    Doppel Vampir attacks your Vanguard.
[12:40] ---
    Skill activated!
[12:42] ---
    There are six or more cards in my Soul,
    so I get +5000 power!
[12:45] ---
    And I have fifteen or more
    cards in my Soul,
[12:47] ---
    so you can't guard against this attack
    with any grade 0 units.
[12:52] ---
    You can take this age of thoughtlessness.
    When a new era comes,
[12:56] ---
    you'll understand!
[13:00] ---
    Come from the future to protect me!
[13:03] ---
    Generation Guard!
[13:05] ---
    Flame Wing Steel Beast, Denial Griffin!
[13:09] ---
    Skill activated!
[13:10] ---
    I retire the unit that's attacking!
[13:16] ---
    So that's your excuse for betraying
    the Association's ideals...
[13:24] ---
    But you destroyed Shion's family.
[13:29] ---
    You also involved Rummy Labyrinth.
[13:32] ---
    And as for my old man...
[13:36] ---
    Thanks to his disappearance, all this time,
     Mikuru's been goin' through so much.
[13:41] ---
    Not to mention me.
[13:43] ---
    It's crazy!
[13:44] ---
    If you're doin' all this to make everybody
    happy, why are you tormenting everyone?!
[13:50] ---
    Even now, I don't know why Rive betrayed me.
[13:56] ---
    It's my fault your childhood was unhappy. For
    that, I would apologize any number of times.
[14:04] ---
    But I have no regrets.
[14:07] ---
    Sacrifices are necessary.
[14:10] ---
    For that, I paid
    the cost of my own life.
[14:16] ---
    Your wings are for the future
    that should be protected!
[14:20] ---
    Mow down the enemy with your flames of fury!
[14:23] ---
    Supreme Heavenly Emperor Dragon,
    Dragonic Blademaster "Taiten"!
[14:27] ---
    On top of that, call!
[14:28] ---
    Radiant Dragon's skill!
[14:31] ---
    I retire Succubus!
[14:33] ---
    "Taiten's" skill! Retire!
[14:38] ---
    If you really believed that what you were
    doing was right, you would do it openly!
[14:43] ---
    You people used the strength of the fighters
    who gathered at the Association
[14:48] ---
    without revealing the truth to them!
[14:51] ---
    The man who founded the Association
    has tarnished its ideal!
[14:55] ---
    Radiant Dragon attacks your Vanguard!
[14:59] ---
    Blaze activated! +8000 power!
[15:03] ---
    If Vanguard is both impartial and just,
[15:06] ---
    then any actions taken behind the scenes
    to use it must not be allowed!
[15:10] ---
    Guard.
[15:13] ---
    There is no wish that can come true
    without a cost.
[15:17] ---
    What?!
[15:18] ---
    A perfect future will come.
[15:21] ---
    And when that perfect future, which will
    continue unto eternity, has been realized,
[15:25] ---
    it will prove that all of the
    sacrifices were worth it.
[15:32] ---
    Come off it!
[15:34] ---
    Chrono Shindou, you're not your father.
[15:39] ---
    I'd always thought that Rive
    had a special power.
[15:45] ---
    But I was wrong.
[15:48] ---
    Suspicious of the preliminary experiments
    at United Sanctuary Branch,
[15:52] ---
    I used the G Quest to confirm it.
[15:55] ---
    Chrono, you're the singularity.
[15:59] ---
    Singularity?
[16:01] ---
    The one who first created the path that
    connects the planet Cray to this world...
[16:06] ---
    ...was you.
[16:11] ---
    "Taiten" attacks your Vanguard!
[16:14] ---
    With Blaze, it gets an extra critical!
[16:18] ---
    What are you talking about, "cost"?!
[16:20] ---
    Isn't it an adult's duty
    to protect children's smiles?!
[16:25] ---
    The moment you tainted Vanguard
    and its fighters' hearts,
[16:29] ---
    your words stopped being worth listening to!
[16:33] ---
    No guard!
[16:34] ---
    Do you really think
    the people you mean to protect
[16:38] ---
    can be proud of a future
    you grasped with filthy hands?!
[16:50] ---
    Satoru!
[17:03] ---
    What is that?!
[17:06] ---
    I'm...?
[17:14] ---
    Chrono, don't you want to offer a true future
    to the people who are dear to you?
[17:26] ---
    Damage check!
[17:35] ---
    It seems judgment has been passed.
[17:38] ---
    Yes!
[17:40] ---
    I don't know why they're squabbling,
    but Mamoru won!
[17:44] ---
    If he made Mamoru that angry,
    then Mr. Enishi must be at fault.
[17:53] ---
    Sure, if you'd like to go, Mr. Enishi.
[17:57] ---
    You can do as you like.
[18:00] ---
    However, my plan calls for Rummy Labyrinth
    to render judgment, come what may.
[18:06] ---
    If you don't win...
[18:11] ---
    The truth that will govern
    the world... isn't me.
[18:16] ---
    They'll be the ones to do it?
[18:19] ---
    Are you done?
[18:23] ---
    Thank you.
[18:28] ---
    I'll go.
[18:30] ---
    It looks like they're going to fight again!
[18:33] ---
    What's this? More people
    from their group get a chance?
[18:37] ---
    Tokoha?
[18:39] ---
    Stand up the Vanguard!
[18:42] ---
    I ride Parting Shade!
[18:45] ---
    I ride Asleep Messiah.
[18:48] ---
    I move Neon Messiah back.
[18:51] ---
    Neon Messiah boosts.
[18:52] ---
    Asleep Messiah attacks your Vanguard.
[18:55] ---
    No guard.
[18:57] ---
    Drive check.
[18:59] ---
    Damage check.
[19:02] ---
    Stand and draw.
[19:18] ---
    Ride.
[19:24] ---
    Zodiac Time Beast,
[19:29] ---
    Chronobeat Buffalo.
[19:50] ---
    Attack.
[20:16] ---
    Tokoha!
[20:18] ---
    Bro?!
[20:39] ---
    Bro?! Bro?!
[20:42] ---
    Bro! Bro! Bro!
[21:09] ---
    Am! Luna!
[21:15] ---
    Am!
[21:19] ---
    Am!
[21:26] ---
    "Whoever fights monsters should see to it
    that he does not in turn become a monster.
[21:34] ---
    And if you gaze long enough into an abyss,
[21:36] ---
    the abyss will gaze back into you."
[21:44] ---
    The Peacemaker is awakened.
[21:48] ---
    Now, please let me see you struggle more.
[23:28] ---
    It's me.
[23:30] ---
    Understood. I'll let you deal with the rest.
[23:35] ---
    I'm sure you'll need a
    little more time to think.
[23:39] ---
    I'll be waiting here tomorrow at this time.
[23:43] ---
    You think I'll come?
[23:58] ---
    Well, something major
    has been set in motion, eh?
[24:01] ---
    I'll stop you! I swear!
    You're done getting your way!
[24:05] ---
    I'm looking forward to it.
[24:06] ---
    You and your people will have
    more losses than wins, Ibuki.
[24:09] ---
    I'm sick of your games!
[24:10] ---
    Don't get so upset!
[24:13] ---
    Come on, let's dance!
[24:16] ---
    Let's dance on a cliff
    until our very last breath, yes?
