**[00:03] ---**
Why are they fighting?
**[00:05] ---**
Sheesh! You do it every time!
**[00:08] ---**
What?! It's all my fault?!
**[00:09] ---**
Shut your mouth!
**[00:11] ---**
I've had it up to here with you!
**[00:13] ---**
Just listen to me!
**[00:15] ---**
You never listen to me!
**[00:18] ---**
How many times is this?!
**[00:19] ---**
You always do whatever you want!
**[00:23] ---**
Why do people fight?
**[02:07] ---**
How was training camp?
**[02:09] ---**
Did you sort out your feelings?
**[02:11] ---**
Mm-hm. Yeah.
**[02:13] ---**
A lot happened, but I'm
gonna keep movin' forward.
**[02:18] ---**
You knew too, didn't you, Shin?
**[02:21] ---**
That my dad is alive.
**[02:25] ---**
Yes.
**[02:26] ---**
I'm sorry. I had my reasons,
but you still ended up getting hurt, Chrono.
**[02:33] ---**
Nah, don't sweat it.
**[02:36] ---**
But would you tell me about my dad?
***SIGN*** Turn 38 Rive and Ryuzu
**[02:47] ---**
I remembered just a little
about my childhood.
**[02:52] ---**
And I heard some things from Ryuzu, too.
**[02:56] ---**
What was my dad like back then?
**[03:00] ---**
You two were on the same team, weren't you?
**[03:03] ---**
Yes.
**[03:04] ---**
Your father, Rive Shindou,
**[03:08] ---**
was my mentor, rival, and good friend.
**[03:14] ---**
It was me, Rive, and one more: Mark Whiting.
**[03:21] ---**
The three of us put together a team
and raced toward the same goal.
**[03:27] ---**
Absolute Ruler, Gluttony Dogma attacks!
**[03:31] ---**
With its skill, it becomes engorged!
**[03:33] ---**
I put all of my rear-guards in the Drop Zone
**[03:36] ---**
and get +10000 power!
**[03:38] ---**
No guard!
**[03:39] ---**
Triple drive!
**[03:42] ---**
Critical trigger!
**[03:44] ---**
I give all of the effects to Gluttony Dogma!
**[03:48] ---**
Shin! Fight on!
**[03:50] ---**
Right!
**[03:52] ---**
I'm the one who's gonna lead Team Nippon to victory
in the finals of the next national tournament!
**[03:57] ---**
I'll show you I can get through this!
**[03:59] ---**
I like your spirit,
**[04:02] ---**
but if this fight is all you've got?
**[04:06] ---**
I was just getting warmed up!
Generation Guard!
**[04:12] ---**
Skill activated!
**[04:14] ---**
I guard with two more Onifundo units!
**[04:23] ---**
Well, I've gotta go.
**[04:25] ---**
Sure. Good match.
**[04:27] ---**
Maybe he's got
Vanguard exchange club again...
**[04:30] ---**
Could be. It seems like he
goes there often these days.
**[04:35] ---**
It promotes a cultural exchange and
deepens friendships through Vanguard.
**[04:39] ---**
I don't like it.
**[04:41] ---**
Why? Isn't that a club
with an excellent goal?
**[04:44] ---**
I don't like any club that distracts our mentor
and interferes with our training.
**[04:49] ---**
I get it!
**[04:51] ---**
I think the sponsor's name is
Ryuzu Myoujin or something.
**[04:55] ---**
That nuisance! I don't like him, either.
**[05:08] ---**
Team Nippon won the national tournament.
**[05:13] ---**
And we received a ticket to go to the
world championship held six months later.
**[05:21] ---**
Cheers!
**[05:25] ---**
Delicious!
**[05:27] ---**
It tastes a lot better when
you drink after a victory!
**[05:30] ---**
Team Nippon is number one!
**[05:35] ---**
Nippon champion! Champion Nippon!
**[05:40] ---**
At last, our next opponent is the world!
**[05:42] ---**
Our aim is to become the best in the world!
**[05:44] ---**
Don't be such a stiff.
**[05:47] ---**
Shin, thinking too hard is your bad habit.
**[05:53] ---**
I have one favor to ask you before
the world championship, Master.
**[05:58] ---**
Now what is it?
**[06:00] ---**
Please quit the Vanguard exchange club!
**[06:05] ---**
I seriously want to be the best in the world.
**[06:09] ---**
But for that, we need even more intensive
training than we're doing now.
**[06:12] ---**
Master, I want you to focus on our training.
**[06:16] ---**
So that's what it is, huh?
**[06:20] ---**
I understand what you're saying.
**[06:23] ---**
But I wanna help Ryuzu, too.
**[06:27] ---**
Master!
**[06:28] ---**
Ryuzu is truly troubled by the crime
and strife that exists all over the world.
**[06:33] ---**
It's like he's got the weight
of the world on his shoulders,
**[06:36] ---**
and he wants to do something
about it with Vanguard.
**[06:40] ---**
Oh, that's wonderful.
**[06:41] ---**
Mark!
**[06:43] ---**
Ryuzu is a nice guy.
**[06:51] ---**
After this, I'm leaving the front line,
**[06:55] ---**
while Mark will put university first,
since he aims to be a teacher.
**[06:59] ---**
We're not going to fight as a team anymore.
**[07:03] ---**
This is the last time!
**[07:06] ---**
I definitely wanna win.
I don't want to have any regrets.
**[07:11] ---**
So, Master...
**[07:14] ---**
Shin...
**[07:16] ---**
Oh! You feel lonely because you think
Ryuzu is going to take Rive away, huh?
**[07:21] ---**
No! You heard what I said!
**[07:33] ---**
From the following day's practice,
Rive had incredible enthusiasm.
**[07:38] ---**
But he still kept going
to that exchange club.
**[07:45] ---**
Then *he* appeared.
**[07:49] ---**
Is Rive here?
**[07:53] ---**
I came because I figured he'd be here.
**[07:58] ---**
No. We haven't seen him today.
**[08:03] ---**
Don't tell me he's...
**[08:06] ---**
I see. My hunch was wrong.
**[08:09] ---**
Oh, well. At least I got to meet Team Nippon.
**[08:14] ---**
Who are you?
**[08:16] ---**
Ryuzu. Ryuzu Myoujin.
**[08:19] ---**
I was right.
**[08:20] ---**
Pardon the interruption. I'll be counting on you
to win the world championship.
**[08:27] ---**
Wait!
**[08:29] ---**
You're causing problems.
**[08:32] ---**
This is an important time for us.
**[08:34] ---**
I want the master to focus on our training
without any distractions.
**[08:41] ---**
That's a natural desire to have,
as his teammate.
**[08:45] ---**
And so?
**[08:46] ---**
Fight me!
**[08:48] ---**
And if I win, you stay away from the master
until the tournament is over!
**[08:53] ---**
Oh? Fine. I accept your challenge.
**[09:00] ---**
The way someone fights is a mirror
that reflects the person.
**[09:03] ---**
Show me who you are, Ryuzu Myoujin!
**[09:07] ---**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[09:21] ---**
Stride Generation!
Omniscience Dragon, Afanc!
**[09:26] ---**
Call!
**[09:27] ---**
Arbank's skill. +20000 power.
**[09:32] ---**
Attack.
**[09:37] ---**
I really like Vanguard.
**[09:40] ---**
It lets you interact like this
with someone you've just met
**[09:44] ---**
and make friends quickly.
**[09:48] ---**
I want to spread the word about Vanguard.
**[09:51] ---**
By connecting with people and
becoming better-acquainted,
**[09:54] ---**
a new world will be born.
**[09:57] ---**
Is that the purpose of the exchange club?
**[10:00] ---**
Yes. Vanguard hides unlimited possibilities.
**[10:04] ---**
Don't you think?
**[10:07] ---**
Who knows?
**[10:09] ---**
Stride Generation!
**[10:11] ---**
Ambush Demon Stealth Dragon,
Shibarakku Buster!
**[10:14] ---**
Shiballack Buster's skill!
**[10:17] ---**
I call Stealth Dragon, Oboro Keeper!
**[10:20] ---**
I got a drive check skill!
**[10:24] ---**
Oboro Keeper attacks!
**[10:26] ---**
A rear-guard and a drive check, eh?
**[10:29] ---**
No guard.
**[10:32] ---**
Drive check with Shibarakku Buster's skill!
**[10:36] ---**
Critical trigger! I give all of the effects
to my other Oboro Keeper!
**[10:41] ---**
Shiballack Buster attacks your Vanguard!
**[10:44] ---**
Perfect guard.
**[10:47] ---**
Triple drive!
**[10:49] ---**
Critical trigger!
**[10:51] ---**
I give all of the effects to Oboro Keeper!
**[11:00] ---**
Nice attack, Shin!
**[11:03] ---**
Haven't you ever felt it?
**[11:07] ---**
The feeling that this world is sad
and overflowing with strife and pain?
**[11:14] ---**
What?
**[11:15] ---**
If everyone could resolve things
logically, like with Vanguard,
**[11:21] ---**
a world without conflicts or sorrow,
maintained by reason and intelligence,
**[11:27] ---**
would be born.
**[11:30] ---**
What are you... talking about?
**[11:33] ---**
My ideal.
**[11:37] ---**
Call. Binoculus attacks your Vanguard.
**[11:41] ---**
With its skill, Silver Wolf gets +4000 power.
**[11:45] ---**
Guard!
**[11:47] ---**
Who is this guy?!
**[11:49] ---**
Special Appointment Professor, Arusha attacks.
**[11:52] ---**
Skill activated.
Silver Wolf gets +4000 power.
**[11:58] ---**
Guard!
**[12:00] ---**
His Vanguard is totally different from ours!
**[12:04] ---**
Twin drive.
**[12:07] ---**
Stand trigger. I stand Binoculus,
and give it +5000 power.
**[12:12] ---**
Why is my master involved with a guy like this?!
**[12:15] ---**
Crayon Tiger attacks.
**[12:18] ---**
Skill activated. I stand Silver Wolf,
and give it +4000 power.
**[12:24] ---**
On top of that, since one of my
rear-guard's total power is 25000 or higher,
**[12:29] ---**
Arusha's success ability activates.
**[12:31] ---**
Pull yourself up with accumulated wisdom.
**[12:35] ---**
He stood his Vanguard?!
**[12:37] ---**
Guard!
**[12:39] ---**
Arusha attacks.
**[12:41] ---**
With its skill, Silver Wolf gets +4000 power.
**[12:44] ---**
No guard!
**[12:46] ---**
Twin drive.
**[12:49] ---**
Heal trigger.
**[12:50] ---**
I heal 1 damage point,
and give the power to Binoculus.
**[12:56] ---**
I just want everyone to smile.
**[13:00] ---**
Vanguard has the power to make people smile.
**[13:10] ---**
Rive Shindou understands my ideal,
and is walking down the same path.
**[13:18] ---**
Stride Generation!
**[13:20] ---**
Ambush Demon Stealth Rogue, Yasuie Tenma!
**[13:23] ---**
Yasuie Tenma's skill activates!
**[13:26] ---**
Skill acquired!
**[13:28] ---**
Stealth Dragon, Yashabayashi attacks!
**[13:31] ---**
Intercept.
**[13:32] ---**
Yashabayashi's Shadowstitch!
**[13:36] ---**
Charcoal gets +2000 power!
**[13:39] ---**
Shadowstitch?
**[13:40] ---**
It's a skill that activates
when the attack doesn't hit.
**[13:44] ---**
Yasuie Tenma's Shadowstitch!
**[13:50] ---**
Call a unit from the deck with the same
name as a unit that has finished attacking.
**[13:55] ---**
That's Yasuie Tenma's Shadow Stitch.
**[13:57] ---**
Attack!
**[13:58] ---**
Guard!
**[14:00] ---**
Shadowstitch! Yashabayashi
attacks your Vanguard!
**[14:07] ---**
This is the finishing blow!
**[14:09] ---**
Perfect guard.
**[14:12] ---**
Well played.
**[14:13] ---**
But as long as you keep stopping me,
my attacks will continue!
**[14:17] ---**
Shadowstitch! Attack!
**[14:21] ---**
Generation Guard.
**[14:24] ---**
Intercept.
**[14:27] ---**
Shadowstitch!
**[14:37] ---**
Marvelous.
**[14:39] ---**
You do remember the agreement?
**[14:42] ---**
Yes. I won't approach Rive.
**[14:46] ---**
Thank you.
**[14:48] ---**
It's been a long time since
I've enjoyed such a passionate fight.
**[14:55] ---**
So that's what happened?
**[14:57] ---**
I have no intention of denying his ideas.
**[15:00] ---**
But right now, we don't need them.
**[15:04] ---**
Getting mixed up with him
would only be a waste of time.
**[15:07] ---**
You may be right.
**[15:11] ---**
But that's not all it's about.
**[15:14] ---**
Ryuzu is trying to do something.
**[15:17] ---**
Trying to do something?
**[15:19] ---**
He's going to change the future
of this world with Vanguard.
**[15:31] ---**
Wanna do it together?
**[15:34] ---**
This is called Vanguard.
**[15:37] ---**
Vanguard?
**[15:39] ---**
You're always reading books alone, right?
**[15:42] ---**
You should play with someone once
in a while. I'm sure you'd have fun.
**[16:00] ---**
I've been through a lot, too, I'll tell you.
**[16:07] ---**
If only everyone played Vanguard...
**[16:11] ---**
You don't hurt each other directly, but have a
lively exchange of feelings through a Cardfight.
**[16:17] ---**
By the time it's settled, you can be friends.
**[16:21] ---**
Everyone can be good friends.
**[16:27] ---**
And now our next story.
**[16:30] ---**
Yesterday, a boy lost his life
while trying to stop a fight.
**[16:35] ---**
The boy, a middle school student,
happened to be passing through,
**[16:38] ---**
when he witnessed two other boys,
whom he did not know, fighting.
**[16:41] ---**
When the boy tried to stop them,
he became involved...
**[16:45] ---**
Why? Why?!
**[16:50] ---**
Why do people fight?!
**[17:02] ---**
Soon...
**[17:04] ---**
Soon the future that I have conceived
**[17:07] ---**
will become reality.
**[17:12] ---**
Changing the world through Vanguard...
**[17:16] ---**
When Rive said those words to me
back then, I didn't understand.
**[17:22] ---**
My head was filled with the
world championship, and nothing else.
**[17:26] ---**
But Rive was wrong.
**[17:30] ---**
Master! Please, once more!
**[17:33] ---**
Sorry, but I have another appointment.
**[17:36] ---**
Master!
**[17:39] ---**
He's going to see Ryuzu again...
**[17:41] ---**
Even though the world championship
is only a week away!
**[17:47] ---**
At that time, Rive wasn't going
to the exchange club anymore,
**[17:51] ---**
but the research lab Ryuzu created.
**[17:58] ---**
Change the world's future with Vanguard?!
**[18:01] ---**
That's ridiculous! I can't
understand it in the least!
**[18:06] ---**
Why is Master giving
so much support to Ryuzu?
**[18:11] ---**
This is just a guess...
**[18:14] ---**
Maybe it has something to do with Tokimi.
**[18:19] ---**
Tokimi...
**[18:22] ---**
Several years before,
Rive's wife, Tokimi, had passed away.
**[18:30] ---**
Chrono's mother died soon after he was born.
**[18:34] ---**
Mikuru took care of him,
even though it was hard on her.
**[18:41] ---**
This world is full of irrational occurrences.
**[18:45] ---**
Sometimes what should be a happy future
is suddenly stolen away.
**[18:51] ---**
Changing this world's future with Vanguard...
**[18:55] ---**
If that were possible...
**[18:59] ---**
If he could give Chrono and
Mikuru a happy future...
**[19:05] ---**
...maybe he would cling to that.
**[19:07] ---**
Even if it might be a pipe dream...
**[19:11] ---**
...Rive is thinking of those two.
**[19:18] ---**
Master, I think I understand how you feel.
**[19:22] ---**
But Team Nippon has its sights set
on becoming world champions.
**[19:27] ---**
That is non-negotiable!
**[19:29] ---**
And it's not something we can accomplish
with half-hearted feelings!
**[19:34] ---**
Please show me how ready you are, Master!
**[19:39] ---**
Pretty cocky for a disciple.
**[19:43] ---**
Fine! Let's fight, Shin!
**[20:02] ---**
Well?
**[20:04] ---**
I'm satisfied.
**[20:07] ---**
Now we just have to become world champions.
**[20:15] ---**
After the championship, you're gonna
get serious about the shop, right?
**[20:19] ---**
That's right...
**[20:20] ---**
I'm worried. Can a hothead like you
run a shop right?
**[20:26] ---**
And you've gotta
take good care of Misaki, too.
**[20:28] ---**
Oh, shush. I know what
my responsibilities are.
**[20:33] ---**
Life is wonderful.
The future is full of hope.
**[20:38] ---**
Where did that come from?
**[20:41] ---**
Let me tell you something.
**[20:43] ---**
As a result of the research,
a new clan was discovered.
**[20:46] ---**
It's an unknown clan that
hasn't been revealed to the world yet.
**[20:50] ---**
An unknown clan?
**[20:51] ---**
It may really be possible to change
the world's future with Vanguard.
**[20:56] ---**
Everyone will have a future
in which they can be happy.
**[21:01] ---**
These guys are the keys to changing
the world. Gear Chronicle.
**[21:12] ---**
And that day...
**[21:15] ---**
...was the last I ever saw of Rive.
**[21:20] ---**
Rive just disappeared.
**[21:23] ---**
Only you remained, Chrono.
**[21:26] ---**
The reason I didn't tell you Rive was alive
**[21:30] ---**
was because Rive himself sealed my lips.
**[21:34] ---**
Ibuki said that's what
Rive Shindou requested.
**[21:41] ---**
I was there at the beginning.
**[21:43] ---**
When Dran and I called out to each other,
a space-time passage opened.
**[21:51] ---**
That's why I have to stop Ryuzu myself.
**[21:56] ---**
The Depend Cards are gone,
but I have Shion and Tokoha.
**[22:01] ---**
A lot of people are willing to help out.
**[22:08] ---**
I wonder where Rive is now.
**[22:22] ---**
Chrono...
**[24:01] ---**
Thank you for sharing so much with me today.
**[24:04] ---**
Not at all. I'm sorry it took me
this long to tell you.
**[24:08] ---**
That's okay. It was only natural
that you couldn't tell me.
**[24:11] ---**
Before now, I've been an immature brat.
**[24:14] ---**
Oh, you weren't that bad...
**[24:15] ---**
I'm gonna grow even more,
so I can beat Ryuzu!
