[00:03] ---
    Since you called me, I assume
    something has happened.
[00:08] ---
    The vast power of the imagination...
[00:11] ---
    I discovered a mass of Stride Force.
[00:13] ---
    The Zodiac... Where is it?
[00:16] ---
    Kai?
[00:18] ---
    There's a slight problem.
[00:20] ---
    What is it?
[00:24] ---
    It's in space.
[00:29] ---
    To be honest, I have to say
    the circumstances are grave.
[00:34] ---
    At this point in time, directly
    accessing the Zodiac Beasts
[00:37] ---
    in satellite orbit is impossible.
[00:41] ---
    I'm trying to summon units by taking the
    analysis of the transference system
[00:45] ---
    and trying to reverse the process.
[00:48] ---
    Is that possible?
[00:49] ---
    It's very tough.
[00:51] ---
    If the units awaken and lend me their power,
    I should be able to muddle through.
[00:55] ---
    Or something like that.
[00:57] ---
    And then we have this.
[00:59] ---
    I tried to analyze the structure
    of the presumed Stride Gate.
[01:04] ---
    But the sheer scale of it is just too large.
[01:06] ---
    Naturally.
[01:08] ---
    It's going to channel the power
    of an entire planet's luck.
[01:12] ---
    Even so, it's not just simple energy.
[01:16] ---
    At its level, even vast amounts
     of matter could be teleported through it.
[01:21] ---
    Once the Stride Gate is open,
     what the heck
[01:24] ---
    does Ryuzu Myoujin intend
    to bring over from Cray?
[03:05] ---
    And there you have it.
[03:07] ---
    All of the teleported Gear Chronicle
    Zodiac Time Beasts are far above our heads.
[03:12] ---
    They're in satellite orbit.
[03:14] ---
    In other words, space.
[03:16] ---
    S-Space?!
[03:18] ---
    Another grand scheme from Ryuzu Myoujin.
[03:23] ---
    He stole the entire Kiba fortune,
    so that's only natural.
[03:27] ---
    Then let's hop on a rocket and go-go-go!
[03:30] ---
    Even if amateurs like us went up there,
    we'd be in over our heads.
[03:34] ---
    Then what are we going to do next?
[03:37] ---
    We'll deal with them, of course.
[03:39] ---
    But it's certainly nothing
    we can act on immediately.
[03:44] ---
    As the advocate of Plan G, I'll take
    responsibility for us being one step behind.
[03:50] ---
    I want you to wait a little longer.
[03:52] ---
    I swear I'll find a way to stop them.
[03:55] ---
    And when I do, I'll need your help.
[04:01] ---
    You don't gotta tell us that.
    We're already in!
[04:07] ---
    Whether it's space or wherever,
[04:10] ---
    I'll clobber them with all my might!
[04:13] ---
    Now is when we should
    build up our strength for then.
[04:19] ---
    It's like, "The pasty mangler
    chooses the dish!"
[04:22] ---
    You mean, "The hasty angler
    loses the fish?"
[04:24] ---
    That's right! I'm surprised you got that!
[04:26] ---
    I'll do whatever I can to help, too.
[04:29] ---
    Just let me know!
[04:32] ---
    I appreciate it.
[04:44] ---
    Sheesh. If you can't do it, just tell me.
[04:48] ---
    Either way, it will just
    end up in my stomach.
SIGN    Turn 39 Promise
[05:06] ---
    It's me.
[05:08] ---
    Yeah. Listen, do you have time right now?
[05:16] ---
    You don't have to come
    every day. You have school.
[05:20] ---
    Bro, you always push yourself too far.
[05:22] ---
    I heard.
[05:24] ---
    The nurse was furious at you for planning
    a big event in the middle of the night.
[05:30] ---
    Just because you can move
    a little more now...
[05:33] ---
    At a time like this, you need to relax.
[05:35] ---
    I'm doing it because it's a time like this.
[05:38] ---
    Are you getting enough sleep?
[05:43] ---
    Yeah.
[05:44] ---
    I apologize for exposing you to danger.
[05:47] ---
    That's okay. She's my friend.
[05:51] ---
    I see.
[05:53] ---
    I swear we'll restore Vanguard and the
    Association to the way they should be.
[05:59] ---
    Don't you do anything reckless now, either.
[06:03] ---
    Bro...
[06:06] ---
    It's okay.
[06:07] ---
    I have a lot of strong friends.
[06:18] ---
    After Chronojet disappeared,
    I tried reorganizing my deck.
[06:24] ---
    I want you to test its strength.
[06:26] ---
    You're surrounded by fighters.
[06:30] ---
    It has to be you.
[06:33] ---
    Of all the fighters I know,
    you're the most merciless.
[06:40] ---
    I wanna know how far I can get right now.
[06:43] ---
    Please, try to crush me.
[06:46] ---
    Understood.
[06:48] ---
    I've got one more favor to ask.
[06:51] ---
    What is it?
[06:53] ---
    I'll tell you if I win.
[06:57] ---
    Here I go!
[07:00] ---
    Stand up the Vanguard!
[07:00] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[07:03] ---
    Gunnergear Dracokid!
[07:07] ---
    Neon Messiah.
[07:09] ---
    I ride Asleep Messiah.
[07:13] ---
    I ride Masergear Dragon!
[07:16] ---
    Attack!
[07:20] ---
    I ride Awaking Messiah.
[07:23] ---
    Call.
[07:25] ---
    Attack!
[07:27] ---
    Guard!
[07:29] ---
    Awaking Messiah attacks your Vanguard.
[07:41] ---
    I ride Smokegear Dragon!
[07:45] ---
    I call Upstream Dragon
    and Steam Maiden, Melem!
[07:50] ---
    Get him!
[07:55] ---
    Upstream!
[07:57] ---
    Guard.
[08:02] ---
    I ride Alter Ego Messiah.
[08:07] ---
    I call Drill Monk of the Fierce Foot.
[08:12] ---
    Attack!
[08:14] ---
    Guard!
[08:16] ---
    Alter Ego attacks your Vanguard.
[08:21] ---
    No guard.
[08:22] ---
    Twin drive.
[08:25] ---
    Second... I got a critical trigger.
[08:30] ---
    I give the power to Drill Monk,
[08:31] ---
    and the extra critical to Alter Ego.
[08:40] ---
    Drill Monk attacks your Vanguard.
[08:43] ---
    Guard!
[08:46] ---
    Turn end.
[08:49] ---
    He really is tough!
[08:51] ---
    He really does mean to crush me without
    lettin' me have the slightest opening!
[08:56] ---
    But I ain't givin' in!
[08:58] ---
    I ride Steam Battler, Kug-Bau!
[09:02] ---
    Skill activated!
[09:03] ---
    When Upstream attacks a Vanguard,
    it gets the power of Time Leap!
[09:12] ---
    This is a deck that doesn't
    contain my partners...
[09:18] ---
    ...but...
[09:20] ---
    Stride Generation!
[09:22] ---
    Interdimensional Dragon, Epoch-maker Dragon!
[09:26] ---
    Gunnergear's skill!
[09:28] ---
    I choose one grade 3 unit
    from the deck and put it in my hand.
[09:32] ---
    On top of that, I call!
[09:34] ---
    We're gonna go save them
    with all of our power!
[09:41] ---
    Guard!
[09:43] ---
    Upstream's Time Leap!
[09:46] ---
    Epoch-maker attacks your Vanguard!
[09:52] ---
    This is our bond right now!
[09:58] ---
    Perfect guard!
[10:07] ---
    Triple drive!
[10:10] ---
    Draw trigger!
[10:11] ---
    I give the power to Square-one!
[10:15] ---
    No guard.
[10:30] ---
    Turn end!
[10:33] ---
    Just 3 damage...
[10:35] ---
    Finally caught up to him!
[10:39] ---
    Good job setting that up.
[10:42] ---
    But do you really think
    that's going to get through?
[10:48] ---
    I'm going to show you just what you wanted.
[10:52] ---
    A truly merciless fight.
[11:07] ---
    I'm going to show you just what you wanted.
[11:11] ---
    A truly merciless fight.
[11:15] ---
    Ruler of chaos!
[11:17] ---
    Future connected to a stark white light!
[11:20] ---
    Stride Generation!
[11:30] ---
    Genesis Dragon, Flageolet Messiah.
[11:36] ---
    A new G Unit...
[11:40] ---
    Stride Skill! Lock!
[11:43] ---
    Flageolet gets +5000 power.
[11:46] ---
    I call Destiny Dealer.
[11:48] ---
    Gravity Well's skill. Lock.
[11:51] ---
    +4000 power.
[11:55] ---
    Drill Monk attacks your Vanguard.
[11:58] ---
    It gets +2000 power with its skill.
[12:00] ---
    I Omega Lock Neon Messiah.
    It doesn't unlock at the end of the turn.
[12:05] ---
    But it can be unlocked with a skill...
[12:11] ---
    You read my mind.
[12:13] ---
    By using it in a combo with the Vanguard
    unlock ability, I nullify the cost.
[12:19] ---
    There's one thing I want to tell you.
[12:23] ---
    What is it?
[12:25] ---
    About your father.
[12:29] ---
    I've said I was going to tell you,
    but it's taken me a very long time.
[12:34] ---
    Even though I knew Rive Shindou was alive,
    I stayed silent all this time.
[12:39] ---
    You're tellin' me this now?
[12:41] ---
    Flageolet attacks your Vanguard.
[12:44] ---
    Skill activated. I unlock
    Neon Messiah and Destiny.
[12:49] ---
    If I unlock one or more cards,
[12:51] ---
    I can choose as many locked cards
    as I like and Omega Lock them.
[12:57] ---
    Upstream won't be unlocked
    at the end of the turn.
[13:01] ---
    Neon Messiah's skill.
[13:03] ---
    I send it to the Soul and put an Alter Ego
    from the deck into my hand.
[13:07] ---
    You're doin' just what you please.
[13:10] ---
    I've been hard on you to make you stronger.
[13:15] ---
    It's all to strike at Ryuzu Myoujin.
    It's based on that duty.
[13:22] ---
    Rive Shindou disappeared so you
    wouldn't get involved in the battle.
[13:28] ---
    But the path connecting the two worlds
    couldn't be opened without you.
[13:34] ---
    And the only way for Chrono Dran to survive
    in this world without a Depend Card
[13:41] ---
    was to feed off of Rive's life force.
[13:44] ---
    Meanwhile, Myoujin had no compunctions
    about making any sacrifice
[13:48] ---
    as he pushed on toward summoning units.
[13:54] ---
    I was forced to make a decision.
[13:57] ---
    In place of Rive, who could no longer move,
[14:00] ---
    I would train you as a fighter who could
    take action against Myoujin's madness.
[14:05] ---
    I gave you that Gear Chronicle deck,
    and led you to Card Capital.
[14:10] ---
    As you progressed, I would send you new cards
[14:15] ---
    and sometimes test your strength directly.
[14:21] ---
    The connection between Rive Shindou
    and Myoujin... your secret ability...
[14:26] ---
    everything that happened
    ten years ago... I knew about it all.
[14:31] ---
    But I kept my silence.
[14:33] ---
    I had decided that telling you more than
    was necessary would hinder your progress.
[15:01] ---
    From this point on, it's my battle.
[15:05] ---
    I have no intention of involving anyone else.
[15:08] ---
    It was all a lie.
[15:11] ---
    When I faced you before,
    it was a false representation of myself.
[15:17] ---
    I'm not ashamed of myself.
    It was necessary at the time.
[15:22] ---
    But I am... sorry.
[15:28] ---
    You know, after all this time...
[15:32] ---
    I already knew that.
[15:34] ---
    In fact, how many times have you
    revealed the truth to me?
[15:42] ---
    Sheesh. Don't suddenly get all apologetic
    on me at this stage of the game!

    Masergear get +2000 power!
[16:05] ---
    You've always been like this!
[16:08] ---
    Always sneaking around and using us!
[16:12] ---
    You're a self-centered adult!
[16:15] ---
    Colossus' skill activated! Melem and Destiny
    go to the bottom of the deck!
[16:20] ---
    You can't guard against this attack
    with any grade 1 units!
[16:24] ---
    You tick me off!

    Generation Guard with Demon Maxwell.
[16:40] ---
    If you're really sorry,
    gimme a little breathing room here!
[16:44] ---
    You're the one who told me to be merciless.
[16:48] ---
    Yeah, that's right! That's you to a T!
[16:52] ---
    "A fight reveals everything about a person."
[16:57] ---
    This guy never goes easy on
    an opponent when he fights.
[17:01] ---
    He's crazy strong,
[17:04] ---
    and crazy single-minded!
[17:07] ---
    Even if every other word that
    came out of his mouth was a lie,...
[17:10] ---
    Guard!
[17:12] ---
    ...he's taught me everything about fighting.
[17:15] ---
    What I should believe in,
    what I should exceed...
[17:19] ---
    Darn it! No damage?!
[17:22] ---
    Naturally.
[17:24] ---
    I'm not going to let you
    surpass me so easily.
[17:28] ---
    Any other way and it wouldn't be you!
[17:31] ---
    Come and get me!
[17:32] ---
    Oh, I will! I'll use all
    of my might to crush you!
[17:37] ---
    Stride Generation!
[17:40] ---
    Genesis Dragon, Flageolet Messiah.
[17:44] ---
    Stride skill. Lock!
[17:48] ---
    Flageolet gets +5000 power.
[17:58] ---
    For the longest time,
    I thought I had nothin'.
[18:03] ---
    I was in a hurry to become an adult,
[18:05] ---
    and figured I'd make my way through life
    without causin' any trouble.

    Flageolet attacks your Vanguard!
[18:16] ---
    Skill activated!
[18:19] ---
    I unlock Gravity Well, Drill Monk, and Drain.
[18:23] ---
    When I unlock one or more units,
    I can Omega Lock any locked units.
[18:28] ---
    On top of that, I unlocked three or more
    units, so Flageolet gets an extra critical.

    Thank you.

    Sure.

    Darn it!

    I really intended to tell you after I won!

    Fine, whatever!

    What?
[20:29] ---
    About Ryuzu!
[20:32] ---
    You're gettin' close to having it out
    with them, aren't you?
[20:36] ---
    When you do, I want you to use
    my power, and no holdin' back.
[20:42] ---
    Yeah, I know.
[20:43] ---
    I'm still a kid, and I lost to you.
[20:47] ---
    But if there's somethin' that only I can do,
[20:52] ---
    I wanna use that power to protect Vanguard.
[20:57] ---
    The Depend Cards were stolen
    'cause I got reckless.

    I wanna regain my honor.
[21:05] ---
    And I know I'm in no position
    to say cool things like that...
[21:09] ---
    ...but if necessary, I'll even
    put my life on the line!
[21:19] ---
    A kid shouldn't talk about
    putting his life on the line!
[21:25] ---
    I know...
[21:27] ---
    But...
[21:30] ---
    ...I know just how you feel.
[21:34] ---
    If it's necessary, I won't hesitate
[21:37] ---
    to pull the trigger that is you.
[21:40] ---
    Good! You can count on me!
[23:36] ---
    Hate to say it, but I haven't
    made any progress since then.
[23:41] ---
    Sorry, but I'd like you to prepare
    something else as the top priority.
[23:47] ---
    You gonna explain to me what it is?
[24:00] ---
    I lost, darn it! And I thought I could win!
[24:05] ---
    It wouldn't do if you could
    surpass me so easily.
[24:07] ---
    Competing with me is good practice for you.
[24:10] ---
    Well, I'm not gonna lose next time!
[24:14] ---
    So you better not try an' back out!
[24:16] ---
    Of course. I'll fight you anytime.
