[00:10] ---
    What is this place?
[00:14] ---
    Did you do it?
[00:18] ---
    You're the coach of the
    United Sanctuary Branch, aren't you?
[00:22] ---
    Are you the one who basically turned Taiyou
    and the other branch members into machines?
[00:30] ---
    And if I am...
[00:33] ---
    ...why are you angry about it?
[00:36] ---
    Right! Right now, I'm having a lot of fun!
[00:42] ---
    Taiyou had a big smile on his face
    as he said Vanguard was fun.
[00:46] ---
    You stole that from him!
[00:49] ---
    Of course I don't forgive you for that!
[00:58] ---
    Coach Ibuki. You've got visitors.
[01:02] ---
    Come in.
[01:06] ---
    Shion!
[01:08] ---
    Hey! What's wrong?!
[01:09] ---
    I had a little fight.
[01:11] ---
    What the heck?!
[01:13] ---
    Don't touch me!
[01:15] ---
    I can walk by myself!
[01:18] ---
    Chrono! Shion!
[01:19] ---
    Hey, what happened?!
[01:21] ---
    It's no big deal. Really.
[01:24] ---
    Don't tell me they did it!
[01:27] ---
    You took the trouble to bring us here,
    so you will explain, right?
[01:32] ---
    About what's going on at this branch!
[03:10] ---
    Thank you!
[03:13] ---
    Be careful going home.
[03:15] ---
    U-Um...
[03:18] ---
    Can we come back to play again?
[03:22] ---
    Of course.
[03:24] ---
    You're always welcome
    at Dragon Empire Branch.
[03:28] ---
    He said we can!
[03:29] ---
    All right!
[03:30] ---
    Yeah!
[03:31] ---
    Let's bring the other guys next time!
[03:34] ---
    Let's come back next week!
[03:35] ---
    Yeah! Let's have a team battle!
    A team battle!
[03:39] ---
    I haven't had this much fun in a long time!
[03:45] ---
    Kids from United Sanctuary Branch?
[03:47] ---
    Yes. They went to the trouble
    of changing trains to get here.
[03:52] ---
    We've been getting a lot of them lately.
[03:54] ---
    Well, it is summer vacation.
[03:57] ---
    But compared to past years,
    the numbers are obviously increasing.
[04:01] ---
    Of course, people are free to play
    at any branch they like...
[04:05] ---
    ...but I couldn't help noticing.
[04:09] ---
    You think they have a reason for not wanting
    to play at United Sanctuary Branch, huh?
[04:14] ---
    I may be overreacting, but...
[04:21] ---
    Jeez! I can't stand that guy!
[04:26] ---
    But your gut instincts are
    usually spot on, Mamoru.
[04:32] ---
    I'll look into it.
[04:34] ---
    I'm counting on you!
SIGN    Turn 38  Miracle Card
[04:45] ---
    The only thing going on here
    at United Sanctuary Branch
[04:48] ---
    is a program to make fighters stronger.
[04:52] ---
    We convert every strategy
    and tactic into data,
[04:54] ---
    then have our fighters acquire skills by
    pitting them against each characteristic.
[04:59] ---
    They get tough mental and physical training
    so they never falter under any circumstances.
SIGN    Weakness is a Sin
[05:06] ---
    It's mental training to attain victory.
[05:13] ---
    The results are extraordinary.
[05:15] ---
    The overall results for United Sanctuary Branch
    fighters against other branches are up 41%,
[05:21] ---
    and some of our fighters have
    a victory rate of over 80%.
[05:26] ---
    Are you saying victory
    makes everything all right?
[05:29] ---
    Vanguard is about more than that!
[05:32] ---
    A branch shouldn't discriminate against
    fighters by how strong they are!
[05:37] ---
    We don't force anyone to
    participate in this program.
[05:41] ---
    They can quit at any time.
[05:44] ---
    They're all here of their own will.
[05:47] ---
    Are you saying they wanna do that?
[05:50] ---
    It seems pretty obvious to me
    that those "dog trainers"
[05:55] ---
    use force against the fighters.
[05:58] ---
    That bracelet.
[06:01] ---
    If you feel you've hit your limit,
    you can take it off.
[06:05] ---
    As that is an admission of defeat,
    you will be escorted out of the training area.
[06:10] ---
    But hardly anyone actually removes it.
[06:14] ---
    That's because they want to become strong.
[06:17] ---
    They want to become strong
    and make good memories.
[06:20] ---
    They want to aim for ever-higher heights.
[06:22] ---
    They want to surpass their own limits.
[06:25] ---
    These are simple, natural desires
    that everyone has.
[06:29] ---
    The United Sanctuary Branch merely provides the
    most efficient method to attain those desires.
[06:37] ---
    Results appear quickly.
[06:40] ---
    After achieving the sense
    of becoming stronger,
[06:42] ---
    they become more and more
    absorbed in the program.
[06:44] ---
    The United Sanctuary Branch becomes stronger
    as a whole, and makes progress.
[06:48] ---
    This is the ideal of Branch Chief Kanzaki.
[06:51] ---
    Kanzaki...
[06:53] ---
    What about the clan leaders?!
[06:55] ---
    Do the United Sanctuary Branch
    clan leaders feel the same way?
[06:59] ---
    Royal Paladin, Gold Paladin, Oracle...
[07:01] ---
    I can't believe they all
    agree with your methods!
[07:04] ---
    Currently, there are no
    United Sanctuary Branch clan leaders.
[07:10] ---
    They didn't agree with the Branch Chief's ideas,
    so they were compelled to resign.
[07:15] ---
    I think forcing them to resign was a mistake.
[07:18] ---
    In other words, right now United Sanctuary Branch
    is Branch Chief Kanzaki's own fiefdom.
[07:23] ---
    And you're his loyal underling.
[07:28] ---
    A fight reveals everything about a person.
[07:32] ---
    The result before you
    is your team's current "everything."
[07:38] ---
    That was...
[07:40] ---
    Taiyou fought like that
    under your guidance, huh?
[07:45] ---
    That's right.
[07:46] ---
    Then that's your Vanguard, huh?
[07:51] ---
    Yes.
[07:55] ---
    Fight me!
[07:57] ---
    The way you are right now,
    there's no way I'm gonna lose against you!
[08:07] ---
    Ibuki here.
[08:09] ---
    Make the arrangements.
[08:11] ---
    If they can't comprehend my ideal,
    I'll enlighten them through a fight.
[08:17] ---
    These "chosen ones" are plenty qualified.
[08:25] ---
    Besides, I was getting bored.
[08:35] ---
    You heard that, yes?
    Branch Chief Kanzaki is summoning you.
[08:39] ---
    Of course, you have the right to refuse.
[08:42] ---
    As I said before, United Sanctuary
    doesn't chase after those who run away.
[08:46] ---
    Who's gonna run away?!
[08:47] ---
    It will be an honor
    to fight the branch chief.
[08:52] ---
    If we win, will United Sanctuary Branch
    change its policies?
[08:56] ---
    In short, you're making light of us.
[09:00] ---
    Fine, you're on!
[09:03] ---
    I've been called a brat before.
[09:05] ---
    And sure, I am... we are brats,
[09:09] ---
    but there are some things even brats
    will stand their ground for!
[09:17] ---
    Then show us what you've got.
[09:19] ---
    I think you know this,
    but Branch Chief Kanzaki is strong.
[09:28] ---
    What kind of order are we gonna fight in?
[09:31] ---
    A knockout competition, like in a tournament?
[09:34] ---
    That isn't necessary.
[09:36] ---
    Branch Chief Kanzaki can fight against
    all three of you at the same time.
[09:42] ---
    Using GIRS, it will be easy.
[09:46] ---
    Data will be transmitted in real time from
    the branch chief's room to your fight rooms.
[09:53] ---
    All you have to do is fight the branch chief,
    who will appear to be standing before you.
[10:02] ---
    I remember he had an overwhelming win in the
    exhibition match at the regional tournament.
[10:06] ---
    He crushed his opponent then.
[10:08] ---
    I never imagined I'd be fighting like this.
[10:14] ---
    I'll keep the voice channels
    open in every room.
[10:18] ---
    Feel free to present your competing ideas.
[10:21] ---
    I appreciate the kindness!
[10:31] ---
    Here I go!
[10:33] ---
    Stand up...
[10:36] ---
    ...Vanguard!
[10:51] ---
    A fight reveals everything about a person.
[10:55] ---
    What will I find out about
    you from this fight...
[10:58] ---
    ...Chrono Shindou?
[11:01] ---
    Ride! Masergear Dragon!
[11:04] ---
    Ride! Knight of Diligence, Mazorlf!
[11:08] ---
    I move David with its skill!
[11:10] ---
    I attack your Vanguard!
[11:14] ---
    Budding Maiden, Diane attacks your Vanguard!
[11:20] ---
    Attack! Fair Knight, Gwawl!
[11:24] ---
    Guard!
[11:31] ---
    Believe it or not, Branch Chief Kanzaki
    is fighting, apparently.
[11:36] ---
    His opponents are the TRY3 members.
[11:42] ---
    He has a lot of free time.
[11:44] ---
    I wonder if we can watch it from here.
[11:49] ---
    They're going at it.
[11:54] ---
    Anjou is in Room C.
    I could switch it over to that...
[11:58] ---
    I'm not interested.
[12:05] ---
    Fighting for what they believe in...
[12:09] ---
    You guys really are adorable.
[12:15] ---
    Ride! Chronojet Dragon!
[12:20] ---
    The Vanguard of this branch is just wrong!
[12:23] ---
    And if you're the cause...
[12:26] ---
    ...I'll make you pay!
[12:29] ---
    Call!
[12:30] ---
    Your Vanguard here isn't fun!
[12:33] ---
    Not at all!
[12:37] ---
    Certainly, we're weak...
[12:40] ---
    ...but I don't agree with anything that
    would exploit a weakness and look down upon it!
[12:49] ---
    Fury, faith, sympathy...
[12:54] ---
    Now I know the principles
    that govern your behavior.
[12:59] ---
    I'm tired of hearing it.
[13:01] ---
    Everyone who stands before me
    says the same thing.
[13:05] ---
    Then show me!
[13:08] ---
    Show me the power that can shatter my ideal!
[13:12] ---
    Ride!
[13:15] ---
    Generation Zone... release!
[13:28] ---
    I am my own lord throughout heaven and earth!
[13:32] ---
    Give me true power!
[13:35] ---
    Transcend!
[13:44] ---
    Supremacy Black Dragon,
[13:47] ---
    Aurageyser Dragon!
[13:53] ---
    Stride skill.
[13:55] ---
    I call Black-winged Swordbreaker.
[13:58] ---
    I draw with a skill!
[14:00] ---
    I call Gwawl and Gyva.
    Then I draw with a skill!
[14:04] ---
    He's filling up the rear-guard without
    taking anything from his hand?!
[14:07] ---
    Aurageyser attacks!
[14:13] ---
    Are you strong on your own?
[14:17] ---
    What can this paltry amount
    of strength teach me?
[14:22] ---
    Generation Zone... release!
[14:24] ---
    Now, show me my blossoming, brilliant future!
[14:29] ---
    Stride Generation!
[14:39] ---
    Flower Princess of
    Spring's Beginning, Primavera!
[14:43] ---
    A branch is supposed to show people
    how much fun Vanguard is,
[14:46] ---
    but you drive them into a corner!
[14:48] ---
    It doesn't make any sense!
[14:58] ---
    Dragon Empire Branch, huh?
[15:01] ---
    Primavera attacks your Vanguard!
[15:04] ---
    I use a skill to call Gladiolus and Diane,
    two each from my deck!
[15:10] ---
    Perfect guard!
[15:13] ---
    I see.
[15:15] ---
    Certainly, I see the influence
    of Mamoru Anjou on your Vanguard.
[15:21] ---
    Gladiolus!
[15:24] ---
    Guard!
[15:25] ---
    The strong know their own path!
[15:29] ---
    Guard!
[15:30] ---
    Someone who can't shed the influence of
    others and is unsure about their own path
[15:34] ---
    cannot grasp the future!
[15:38] ---
    Stride Generation!
[15:41] ---
    Divine Knight of Flashing Flame, Samuel!
[15:43] ---
    I call Benizel!
[15:46] ---
    And with another skill, I superior call
    Knight of Twin Sword!
[15:50] ---
    Samuel attacks your Vanguard!
[15:53] ---
    1 damage with the skill!
[15:58] ---
    If you're at the end of your path,
    why don't you show others how to choose?
[16:03] ---
    Even though they have several
    other paths, you block them off
[16:07] ---
    and force them down a single path!
[16:09] ---
    Piercing Flash! Bright Lightning Shoot!
[16:15] ---
    Perfect guard!
[16:16] ---
    That's half-baked.
[16:20] ---
    Several paths?
[16:22] ---
    You're weak because you
    spout nonsense like that!
[16:26] ---
    The children of my United Sanctuary
    have no doubts!
[16:29] ---
    Anyone who can't abandon unnecessary feelings
[16:32] ---
    and come up with only one answer...
[16:40] ---
    ...cannot attain true strength!
[16:46] ---
    As always,
    the branch chief isn't holding back.
[16:52] ---
    The strong should get treatment
    suiting that strength.
[16:57] ---
    But even so, I think this branch
    is absolutely right.
[17:07] ---
    I don't accept your philosophy!
[17:10] ---
    Stride Generation!
[17:12] ---
    Faterider Dragon!
[17:15] ---
    Stride skill! Gwawl goes
    to the bottom of the deck!
[17:20] ---
    Since starting Vanguard,
[17:22] ---
    I found out for the first time how I
    could be passionate about something.
[17:25] ---
    Then I met other people
    who felt the same way!
[17:28] ---
    And my world truly changed!
[17:32] ---
    Faterider's skill activated!
[17:35] ---
    Masergear evolves into Glimmerbreath!
[17:38] ---
    With Glimmerbreath's skill,
    Gyva goes to the bottom of the deck!
[17:43] ---
    This is the Vanguard I believe in!
[17:46] ---
    Faterider Dragon attacks your Vanguard!
[17:54] ---
    Perfect guard!
[17:57] ---
    Glimmerbreath Dragon!
[18:01] ---
    That's the logic of the weak.
[18:03] ---
    What?
[18:05] ---
    Meeting people. Bonds. Friendship.
[18:09] ---
    Garbage!
[18:11] ---
    What meaning is there to this
    logrolling between losers?!
[18:16] ---
    Love is unnecessary!
[18:18] ---
    A heart makes people weak!
[18:24] ---
    So the heart is unnecessary!
[18:27] ---
    Guard!
[18:31] ---
    Weakness is a sin.
[18:34] ---
    Before the infinite glory of the victor,
[18:37] ---
    the loser's existence has no value.
[18:43] ---
    A certain fight opened
    my eyes to that long ago.
[18:53] ---
    That fighter was so strong...
[18:57] ---
    ...and so beautiful.
[18:59] ---
    His existence was absolute.
[19:03] ---
    Before him...
[19:06] ---
    ...I was ugly.
[19:08] ---
    I understood that my own
    existence had no meaning.
[19:14] ---
    That I had been fragile...
    trivial... powerless...
[19:26] ---
    Weakness is a sin.
[19:31] ---
    I realized that later.
[19:33] ---
    On that day, I glimpsed
    something akin to a miracle.
[19:37] ---
    A miracle card...
[19:41] ---
    Miracle card?
[19:47] ---
    I still don't have enough.
[19:50] ---
    But soon...
[19:54] ---
    ...the children of my branch will
    obtain power without hesitation
[19:58] ---
    and reach the true path!
[20:09] ---
    Supremacy Dragon, Claret Sword Dragon!
[20:13] ---
    Dark Knight, Efnysien!
[20:16] ---
    Supremacy Black Dragon, Aurageyser Dragon!
[20:21] ---
    Then the miracle will awaken once more!
[20:23] ---
    It will transcend reality and come before me!
[20:30] ---
    A miracle will... transcend reality?
[20:43] ---
    The miracle card, huh?
[20:46] ---
    I wonder what it's really like.
[20:49] ---
    Do you actually believe in it?
[20:53] ---
    I may not look like it, but I'm a romantic.
[20:59] ---
    It's been fun.
[21:08] ---
    Not challenging enough for me
    to use my trump card,
[21:11] ---
    but if you like, I'll train you anytime.
[21:16] ---
    If your goal is strength, come to me.
[21:20] ---
    The gates of United Sanctuary
    are always open.
[21:28] ---
    Darn it! Get lost!
[23:13] ---
    What's the situation?
[23:15] ---
    The image conversion efficiency
    is 0.2% greater than last time.
[23:20] ---
    I picked up a weak but confirmed
    reaction from the Depend Card,
[23:25] ---
    but there haven't been any other changes.
[23:28] ---
    The miracle of that day...
[23:30] ---
    A godlike unit,
[23:33] ---
    a divine fight...
[23:35] ---
    I will grasp it with my own hands.
[23:38] ---
    Everything is a tool for that purpose.
[23:42] ---
    After I collect enough souls...
[23:47] ---
    ...the miracle...
[23:49] ---
    ...will awaken before me!
[23:56] ---
    Even though there were three of us,
    we were helpless.
[24:00] ---
    That's what I call a complete defeat.
[24:02] ---
    His strength seemed to have no end.
[24:04] ---
    But Chrono, we're not going
    to back off quietly, are we?
[24:08] ---
    Of course not! I can't just
    leave Taiyou like that.
[24:12] ---
    That's our Chrono! So, do you have a plan?
[24:17] ---
    Not yet...
[24:18] ---
    Well, that can't be helped.
SIGN    Solar Eclipse
[24:20] ---
    Let's take a little time
    to think about what we can do.
