[00:04] ---
    It's the second day of the
    second stage today.
[00:06] ---
    So far, everything has gone to plan.
[00:08] ---
    There isn't much time
    before the final stage!
[00:11] ---
    Alright!
    Fukuhara high school Vanguard Club!
[00:14] ---
    Fight! Yeah!
[00:18] ---
    Um...I was trying to reduce the tension!
    I am the president after all!
[00:23] ---
    Annoying! You're just saying empty words.
[00:27] ---
    Our whole team has survived so far,
[00:31] ---
    but Jaime Flowers were
    eliminated on the first day.
[00:36] ---
    The Striders have only
    Chrono left as well.
[00:39] ---
    They were all defeated by Team Diffrider.
[00:44] ---
    It seems our decision
    to avoid them was correct.
[00:48] ---
    Are you alright with that, Shion?
[00:50] ---
    With not fighting the way you
    really want to, today as well?
[00:56] ---
    It's for Fukuhara.
[00:58] ---
    But then you'll-
[01:00] ---
    Five minutes before Castle Royale begins.
[01:03] ---
    Fighters, please enter the second floor.
[01:07] ---
    It's time.
[01:09] ---
    Stay focused today as well.
[02:52] ---
    Now! The door to the
    third floor has finally opened!
[02:58] ---
    It's the second day
    of the U20's Castle Royale!
[03:02] ---
    As the name suggests,
    it's a life or death survival game!
[03:05] ---
    Which teams will reach
    the top floor of the castle
[03:10] ---
    and proceed to the final stage?
[03:13] ---
    I can't afford to lose!
[03:18] ---
    But...
[03:19] ---
    I want to keep running with
    you guys to the end of the U20!
[03:24] ---
    Please, Kazuma!
[03:26] ---
    Please watch my fights tomorrow!
[03:31] ---
    Please watch me, Taiyou, Kazuma.
[03:39] ---
    Kazuma!
[03:41] ---
    I'm glad you came.
SIGN    TURN 36 Fukuhara's Choice
[03:57] ---
    Will the fierce fights continue to heat up?
    We're looking forward to finding out!
[04:10] ---
    From Magallanica, it's the slightly
    mischievous Mermaid Princess!
[04:14] ---
    Saya Yatomi!
[04:16] ---
    Opposite her, the arrow of destiny
    will pierce through victory.
[04:19] ---
    The undefeated, beautiful fighter,
    Verno Fahrenheart!
[04:24] ---
    This is an important fight for Saya Yatomi,
    with her team's survival at risk!
[04:28] ---
    However, she's at five damage
    and has nowhere to run!
[04:32] ---
    Play a melody of harmony
    with me and my smile!
[04:37] ---
    What's with this girl?
[04:40] ---
    It wasn't enough! But I won't give up!
[04:47] ---
    She's losing, so how can she be so happy?
[04:51] ---
    I don't understand.
[05:00] ---
    Thank you!
[05:03] ---
    I lost but thanks to you,
    I had a very fun fight!
[05:08] ---
    Fun? Even though you lost?
[05:11] ---
    If you put everything into a fight,
    it's fun whether you win or lose!
[05:16] ---
    The fighters and everyone
    watching are surely smiling!
[05:20] ---
    I guarantee it!
[05:23] ---
    I still don't understand how
    she can smile after losing.
[05:27] ---
    Humans are mysterious.
[05:33] ---
    Attack Vanguard.
[05:39] ---
    What's wrong with you?
[05:41] ---
    I have a reason why
    I can't afford to lose.
[05:44] ---
    Attack Vanguard!
[05:49] ---
    Shion...Is this really okay?
[05:53] ---
    Your U20...
[05:56] ---
    V-Verno Fahrenheart?!
[05:58] ---
    From Team Diffrider!
[06:06] ---
    But I can't hope to win
    against her as I am now...
[06:10] ---
    They were all defeated by Team Diffrider.
[06:13] ---
    It's for Fukuhara.
[06:16] ---
    I...
[06:18] ---
    Vanguard is the only thing
    that makes me free.
[06:24] ---
    Team Diffrider, Verno Fahrenheart!
[06:28] ---
    You are?
[06:29] ---
    I'm Fukuhara high school
    Vanguard Club's Henri Hayao!
[06:34] ---
    Please...
[06:35] ---
    Please fight me!
[06:40] ---
    As expected of Fukuhara's noble youth!
[06:42] ---
    He seized victory with his
    calculated fighting style!
[06:46] ---
    And now the gate to the
    fourth floor has opened!
[06:52] ---
    Fighters, please proceed to the
    fourth floor within the time limit.
[06:57] ---
    Alright.
[07:01] ---
    Why?!
[07:06] ---
    What is this?!
[07:07] ---
    Fukuhara high school Vanguard Club,
    who haven't lost once in the second stage
[07:11] ---
    have just made a huge gamble!
[07:15] ---
    You've got to be kidding!
[07:20] ---
    The challenger is the president,
    Henri Hayao!
[07:24] ---
    His opponent is Verno Farhrenheart
    who hasn't lost a single time!
[07:29] ---
    Stand Up!
[07:31] ---
    Vanguard!
[07:41] ---
    It no longer matters who comes.
[07:45] ---
    Liberation from Destiny...
[07:47] ---
    I will take control of this tournament
    so that my desire can come true.
[07:52] ---
    That's all there is to it.
[08:08] ---
    Ninnil...
[08:10] ---
    Attack Vanguard!
[08:14] ---
    Turn End.
[08:16] ---
    It's the end of the fifth turn
    and the current damage is...
[08:18] ---
    Verno Fahrenheart has two damage
    and Henri Hayao has three!
[08:22] ---
    How will this fight against a Diffrider
    develop from the sixth turn?
[08:30] ---
    Ride! Dragonic Vanquisher!
[08:34] ---
    I might be scolded by everyone later
[08:37] ---
    but I don't mind!
[08:38] ---
    I want Shion to play his own Vanguard!
[08:43] ---
    And to lead Fukuhara to victory...
[08:46] ---
    I have to...
[08:48] ---
    Give it my all!
[08:49] ---
    Stride Generation!

[09:30] ---
    Critical Trigger!
[09:32] ---
    The Power goes to Chatura!
[09:34] ---
    The Critical goes to my Vanguard!
[09:43] ---
    My attack hit, so
    "VOLTAGE"'s Skill activates!
[09:48] ---
    Retreat one Rear-guard!
[09:51] ---
    And Bind Tahro and
    Awanami in the Drop Zone!
[09:56] ---
    This is a brilliant turn of events!
[09:58] ---
    Binding three cards on the very
    same turn of his first Stride!
[10:03] ---
    He is gradually preparing
    for his Thunderstrike!
[10:06] ---
    Alright!

    Here I go!
[10:08] ---
    Chatura, with Ascetic's Thunderstrike!
    Add 2000 Power!
[10:15] ---
    This feeling...
[10:17] ---
    Guard! Kotonoha!
[10:22] ---
    Again...This feeling.
[10:32] ---
    How can you get so serious about a fight?
[10:36] ---
    That's...
[10:37] ---
    Because my precious friends'
    futures depend on it!
[10:41] ---
    I see. Well then...
[10:43] ---
    Show me more.
[10:45] ---
    Stride Generation!

    Goddess of Investigation, Ishtar!
[10:54] ---
    Ishtar's Revelation.
[10:56] ---
    Look at the top card in my deck
    and send it to the deck or my Soul.
[11:00] ---
    To my deck.
[11:02] ---
    Here it is!
    Verno Fahrenheart's Revelation!
[11:05] ---
    She manipulates her own destiny
    to determine the future!
[11:11] ---
    Don't lose!
[11:12] ---
    I came here to change that destiny!
[11:16] ---
    Also, Amaruda's Stride Skill.
[11:21] ---
    Soul Charge!
[11:22] ---
    Add 4000 Power to Ishtar.
[11:25] ---
    Draw one card.
[11:26] ---
    Call Kotonoha.
[11:31] ---
    Kotonoha's Revelation.
[11:33] ---
    To my Soul.
[11:34] ---
    Rest Nakisawame.
[11:36] ---
    Add 2000 Power with Kotonoha's Skill.
[11:39] ---
    Call another Kotonoha.
[11:43] ---
    And Revelation.
[11:45] ---
    To my Soul.
[11:47] ---
    Rest the right-hand Kotonoha.
[11:49] ---
    Add 2000 Power with the two Kotonohas.
[11:57] ---
    Nakisawame's Skill.
[11:59] ---
    Stand the right-hand Kotonoha.
[12:01] ---
    Add 1000 Power with the two Kotonohas.
[12:06] ---
    She made the Rear-guard that was Resting
    as a Cost for her Revelation Stand!
[12:10] ---
    Awanami.
[12:13] ---
    Awanami's Revelation.
[12:15] ---
    To my deck.
[12:17] ---
    Also Call Kukurihime.
[12:22] ---
    Powering up her Soul with
    Revelation and Stride Skills!
[12:26] ---
    How will Henri Hayao deal with this?
[12:31] ---
    I'm counting on you, Narukami!
[12:34] ---
    Attack Vanguard with
    the left-hand Kotonoha.
[12:38] ---
    Intercept! Also Guard!
[12:41] ---
    Show me more!
[12:43] ---
    Attack Vanguard with
    the right-hand Kotonoha!
[12:48] ---

    Drive Check.
[12:59] ---
    Detect Angel.
[13:01] ---
    Ishtar's Skill.
[13:03] ---
    A Grade one or higher Unit was drawn
[13:06] ---
    so add 3000 Power to
    the right-hand Kotonoha!
[13:13] ---
    Detect is a Unit with Revelation
    so the right-hand Kotonoha Stands.
[13:19] ---
    Second Check.
[13:20] ---
    Detect Angel.
[13:22] ---
    The same Skill activates.
[13:24] ---
    Add 3000 Power to the left-hand
    Kotonoha and Awanami and Stand them.
[13:29] ---
    No way!
    Her Rear-guards are all Standing!
[13:32] ---
    Third Check.
[13:33] ---
    Critical Trigger.
[13:35] ---
    The Critical goes to Ishtar.
[13:38] ---
    The Power goes to the right-hand Kotonoha.
[13:48] ---
    It's over already.
[13:50] ---
    Verno Fahrenheart...
[13:52] ---
    It's the perfect fighting style.
[13:55] ---
    I should have listened to Shion
    and never challenged Team Diffrider!
[14:01] ---
    Annoying! You're just saying empty words.
[14:05] ---
    No! I won't let it end like this!
[14:08] ---
    I'm not the same as I was before!
[14:10] ---
    The weak me...
[14:12] ---
    Shion changed me!
[14:15] ---
    It's all...
[14:17] ---
    It's all!
[14:19] ---
    It's all thanks to Shion!
[14:21] ---
    I always depended on Shion!
[14:26] ---
    That badge is fitting for you.
[14:30] ---
    Now it's my turn to push Shion
    from behind as the President!
[14:35] ---
    Don't fear!
[14:37] ---
    Stand up!
[14:39] ---
    That's the Fukuhara
    Vanguard I want to see!
[14:43] ---
    Come!
[14:44] ---
    I'm Fukuhara's President, Henri Hayao!
[14:49] ---
    This feeling!
[14:52] ---
    You'll show me now.
[14:54] ---
    Whether the answer I have been
    looking for is inside of you.
[14:58] ---
    Kotonoha!
[15:00] ---
    Don't run away!
[15:07] ---
    Stand up!
[15:10] ---
    Don't fear losing anything!
[15:13] ---
    Generation Guard!
[15:14] ---
    Sky Guardian Supreme Dragon,
    Bulwark Dragon!
[15:17] ---
    Add 10,000 to the Shield with a Skill!
[15:23] ---
    This light!
[15:26] ---
    I'll definitely protect them!
[15:27] ---
    Shion's Vanguard! And Fukuhara's Vanguard!
[15:31] ---
    As their President!
[15:34] ---
    I see.
[15:35] ---
    This is-
[15:40] ---
    Somehow...I did it.
[15:42] ---
    Hayao-senpai!
[15:45] ---
    Go! Shion!
[15:47] ---
    Eh?
[15:49] ---
    Go!
[15:50] ---
    I'll definitely protect
    Fukuhara's Vanguard!
[15:54] ---
    So you need to protect your own Vanguard!
[15:59] ---
    Isn't Vanguard something
    that makes you free?
[16:04] ---
    Right now you're not free at all.
    You're chained by your Vanguard!
[16:11] ---
    There's someone you want to fight.
[16:13] ---
    Then you can't run away from yourself!
[16:16] ---
    I was always being saved by you.
[16:20] ---
    So now it's my turn to save you.
[16:23] ---
    Hayao-senpai...
[16:27] ---
    Go! Shion Kiba!
[16:29] ---
    This is a President's order!
[16:33] ---
    Yes!
[16:38] ---
    That's right. That's how it should be.
[16:41] ---
    That's the Shion I know.
[16:43] ---
    He is?
[16:44] ---
    Yes.
[16:45] ---
    He's my precious friend.
[16:50] ---
    Friend...
[16:52] ---
    Vanguard is something that
    connects people and hearts.
[16:57] ---
    I'll prove that to you now.
[17:01] ---
    Stand and Draw!
[17:07] ---
    Come!
[17:08] ---
    Here I go!
[17:10] ---
    Stride Generation!
[17:14] ---
    Conquering Supreme Dragon,
    Dragonic Vanquisher "VMAX"!
[17:20] ---
    Magnificent!
[17:22] ---
    Stride Skill!
[17:24] ---
    Retreat the right-hand
    Kotonoha and Bind it!
[17:28] ---
    Call Martial Arts!
[17:29] ---
    Thunderstrike! Add 3000 Power!
[17:33] ---
    Attack Vanguard, Kukurihime and Awanami
    at the same time with "VMAX"!
[17:46] ---
    What a strong light!
[17:49] ---
    This light...
[17:51] ---
    This passion...I want to feel them more!
[17:54] ---
    That's why I can't let this end!
[17:57] ---
    Generation Guard!
[17:59] ---
    Goddess of Twill, Tagwoot!
[18:01] ---
    Add 10,000 to the Shield with a Skill!
[18:07] ---
    She endured it! Verno Fahrenheart!
[18:10] ---
    Now Henri Hayao has a Drive Check
    that will decide his destiny!
[18:14] ---
    I'll finish this now!
[18:16] ---
    Triple Drive!
[18:18] ---
    Second Check!
[18:20] ---
    Draw Trigger!
[18:21] ---
    Draw one card!
[18:23] ---
    The Power goes to my Vanguard!
[18:25] ---
    Third Check!
[18:26] ---
    Critical Trigger!
[18:28] ---
    All of its effects go to my Vanguard!
[18:30] ---
    Go!
[18:35] ---
    He did it!
[18:38] ---
    So hot! This is the power of humans?
[18:43] ---
    Ah, but it's warm.
[18:46] ---
    This is the light of his
    feelings itself, shining purely.
[18:51] ---
    Connecting friends' feelings
    and turning them into power...
[18:55] ---
    Verno, this is my Vanguard!
[19:00] ---
    I don't want it to end yet.
[19:02] ---
    I want to feel much more!
[19:05] ---
    More of this light!
[19:08] ---
    Verno...
[19:10] ---
    I'll give you my answer.
[19:13] ---
    Damage Check.
[19:15] ---
    Heal Trigger!
[19:16] ---
    Recover one damage!
[19:18] ---
    Verno still endures!
[19:20] ---
    She drew a tenacious Heal Trigger!
[19:23] ---
    It was fun.
[19:25] ---
    But this is as far as I go.
[19:27] ---
    Now show me the very best light!
[19:31] ---
    Verno...
[19:33] ---
    Come.
[19:34] ---
    Okay!
[19:35] ---
    "VMAX"'s Thunderstrike!
[19:47] ---
    This is human...
[19:49] ---
    This is Vanguard!
[19:57] ---
    He - He did it!
[20:00] ---
    A dazzling victory!
[20:02] ---
    Fukuhara's President gave us an
    amazing victory befitting of his title!
[20:10] ---
    I did it! I did it!
[20:17] ---
    Verno!
[20:19] ---
    Are you alright?
[20:20] ---
    Were you hurt during the fight?
[20:23] ---
    It just means that I gave it my all.
[20:27] ---
    Let's meet again, Hayao.
[20:29] ---
    It was a great fight.
[20:34] ---
    I understand now, thanks to you.
[20:36] ---
    Huh?
[20:37] ---
    It's not about winning or losing.
    It's what's beyond that.
[20:41] ---
    Vanguard's wonderfulness.
[20:46] ---
    Thank you very much.
[20:51] ---
    I won somehow. Now Shion...
[20:55] ---
    You did quite well for a slave.
[20:59] ---
    Hashima-senpai!
[21:00] ---
    I did it, Hashima-senpai!
[21:03] ---
    I won!
[21:05] ---
    Against a member of Team Diffrider!
[21:07] ---
    Whatever. If you hadn't won, I would have.
[21:15] ---
    Um, Hashima-senpai.
[21:17] ---
    Let's do our best, so Shion
    can fight his own way as well.
[21:22] ---
    Huh!?
[21:25] ---
    Don't get ahead of yourself, slave!
[21:29] ---
    Geez.
[21:31] ---
    I'll retract the comment about
    you saying empty words.
[22:04] ---
    Chrono!
[22:07] ---
    Shion!
[22:18] ---
    Chrono...
[22:20] ---
    I challenge you!
[23:55] ---
    You really did it, Hayao.
[23:57] ---
    You won triumphantly
    against Verno Fahrenheart!
[24:01] ---
    How do you feel right now?
[24:02] ---
    I won because I did my best
    as Fukuhara's President.
[24:06] ---
    It's all thanks to Shion-
[24:08] ---
    Grr
[24:09] ---
    And Hashima-senpai who always trains me!
[24:14] ---
    I see!
[24:15] ---
    Fukuhara Vanguard have been
    polishing their teamwork!
