[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!
