[02:08] ---
    A long time ago.
[02:10] ---
    In a certain country in which an
    evil feudal lord torments the citizens...
[02:16] ---
    ...one man helps a fallen swordsman.
[02:22] ---
    The swordsman has come from another world,
[02:26] ---
    and now gives the man his sword.
[02:31] ---
    It is Fides, the sword of radiance.
[02:34] ---
    If wielded by a righteous person,
[02:37] ---
    the sword glows and defeats all enemies.
[02:43] ---
    After slaying the evil lord
    with the power of his sword,
[02:47] ---
    the man governs the land
    at the request of the people.
[02:50] ---
    He lays the foundation for
    the prosperous Kiba family.
[02:55] ---
    And today, I formally become...
[03:00] ---
    ...his heir.
SIGN    Turn 4 Ace's Trap
[04:02] ---
    Congratulations, Shion-kun.
[04:04] ---
    Now you're the official heir
    to the Kiba family, huh?
[04:08] ---
    The Kiba family is in good hands.
[04:10] ---
    Thank you. I look forward to
    continuing our relationship.
[04:14] ---
    That was a peculiar ceremony, wasn't it?
[04:17] ---
    The important thing is the heir's debut.
[04:20] ---
    That and giving him authority.
[04:25] ---
    It didn't glow.
[04:28] ---
    The sword of radiance.
    According to the legend,
[04:32] ---
    it glows when passed on to the true heir.
[04:35] ---
    That's just a fairy tale.
[04:38] ---
    The visitor probably drifted
    here from the west.
[04:42] ---
    That was during the time
    of the Kiba uprising,
[04:45] ---
    so it just became part of the legend.
[04:48] ---
    There's no way it really happened.
[04:50] ---
    Ever since you were little,
    you've loved that legend, Young Master.
[04:57] ---
    If the planet Cray actually exists,
[05:00] ---
    then maybe that sword came from there.
[05:04] ---
    As if...
[05:05] ---
    C-Congratulations, Shion.
[05:08] ---
    Y-You did splendidly.
    I... I apologize for my interruption...
[05:13] ---
    Utsugi! As a member of the Kiba family,
    you should be more reliable.
[05:18] ---
    I'm sorry, Brother.
[05:20] ---
    I heard. Again you invested
    in nonsense and failed.
[05:24] ---
    I-In the future, it's sure
    to be beneficial to everyone...
[05:29] ---
    It's just ahead of its time...
[05:32] ---
    I'm sick of hearing that excuse, too!
[05:34] ---
    This is a day to celebrate...
[05:37] ---
    Master Utsugi, may I get
    you something to drink?
[05:40] ---
    S-Sure. Again, I'm really sorry, Shion.
[05:44] ---
    That's okay.
[05:48] ---
    Utsugi does act in what he thinks are
    the Kiba family's best interests.
[05:53] ---
    The Kiba name is too much
    responsibility for him to bear.
[05:59] ---
    I just can't do it!
[06:05] ---
    I can't do anything that outrageous!
[06:08] ---
    All right. Then your deal with me ends here.
[06:12] ---
    And you'll always be the
    good-for-nothing of the Kiba family.
[06:16] ---
    I don't want...
[06:18] ---
    Everything is prepared from my end.
    All you have to do is pull the trigger.
[06:26] ---
    Uncle Utsugi.
[06:29] ---
    What's wrong?
[06:34] ---
    Oh, it's nothing, really. Nothing at all.
[06:42] [SONG] ---
    Kiba HD Takeover?
    Ace Corporation Acquires Kiba HD
[06:44] [SONG] ---
    If Ace Corporation takes over Kiba HD
[06:46] ---
    A number of shareholders are
    already responding to the rumors.
[06:50] ---
    Ace Corporation?
[06:53] ---
    It's possible they're just a paper company.
[06:55] ---
    I won't allow anyone to take over Kiba.
[07:02] ---
    Dad!
[07:06] ---
    You have nothing to worry about.
[07:18] [SONG] ---
    Takeover of Kiba HD?
[07:21] [SONG] ---
    Unknown Caller
[07:25] ---
    Yes?
[07:26] ---
    Hi. Nice to meet you, Kiba heir.
[07:30] ---
    I'm Ace.
[07:32] ---
    Ace?!
[07:34] ---
    That's right. I'm the representative
    for the much-discussed Ace Corporation.
[07:39] ---
    Careful. I'll hang up if
    you try anything funny.
[07:45] ---
    What do you want?
[07:46] ---
    I don't wish to say over the phone.
[07:49] ---
    I'll text you the address.
    Come over at 8:00 tonight.
[07:53] ---
    And don't tell anyone else about it.
    Not even your faithful butler.
[07:58] ---
    Also, your family's heirloom,
    the sword of whatever?
[08:05] ---
    Very careless. Something as precious as that
[08:09] ---
    needs to be kept locked up...
SIGN    Reserved for Shion Kiba
[09:18] ---
    Uncle Utsugi!
[09:22] ---
    How admirable. You really did
    come here all by yourself.
[09:27] ---
    Are you Ace?
[09:30] ---
    Are you surprised that I'm just a kid?
[09:34] ---
    Well, I feel the same way
    about you, Kiba heir.
[09:40] ---
    What did you do to Utsugi?!
[09:42] ---
    See, I told him,
[09:44] ---
    "With the family sword,
    maybe you could become the heir,"
[09:48] ---
    and the old man actually brought it over!
[09:55] ---
    How is this supposed to be useful?
[09:59] ---
    I can't understand how you rich people think.
[10:03] ---
    What do you want?!
[10:05] ---
    Don't be so impatient.
[10:08] ---
    I hear you like Vanguard?
[10:13] ---
    I'm totally into it, too. How about a fight?
[10:17] ---
    I refuse!
[10:20] ---
    Okay, let's do this. Fight me,
     and if you win, I'll return the sword.
[10:26] ---
    I'll also drop the takeover bid.
[10:28] ---
    A game with hundreds of billions of yen
    and our lives hanging in the balance.
[10:35] ---
    Gives you a chill, doesn't it?
[10:48] ---
    Are you serious?
[10:50] ---
    The Kiba takeover is already 80% done.
[10:55] ---
    The shareholders are in my pocket, too.
[10:58] ---
    It will all be mine by tomorrow morning.
[11:01] ---
    It's going so smoothly that it's boring.
[11:04] ---
    There aren't enough thrills!
[11:06] ---
    More passion! Thrills that will fire me up!
[11:10] ---
    Is that your motive?
[11:12] ---
    Of course. Although I do want money, too.
[11:17] ---
    What are you going to do, rich kid?
[11:19] ---
    Don't do it, Shion! He's dangerous!
[11:22] ---
    You don't know what traps
    he's got waiting for you!
[11:24] ---
    Please be quiet, Uncle Utsugi!
[11:27] ---
    I'm the Kiba heir.
[11:30] ---
    I definitely won't lose
    to a scoundrel like him!
[11:34] ---
    Then it's settled.
[11:38] ---
    Given the circumstances, you're probably
    worried about cheating, right?
[11:43] ---
    So ensure that we both fight fairly,
[11:47] ---
    we'll have a "pack fight."
[11:49] ---
    We'll use brand new packs to put together an improvised deck, and then fight.
[11:53] ---
    What kind of cards will we get?
    What kind of deck will it be?
[11:57] ---
    It's all a matter of luck.
[11:59] ---
    And how well we can make use of that
    depends on our skill as a fighter?
[12:05] ---
    Both decks will have various clans.
[12:08] ---
    But we'll say triggers and skills
    can be used even with different clans.
[12:13] ---
    Otherwise we wouldn't be able to fight.
[12:17] ---
    Eight triggers, no perfect guard...
[12:20] ---
    Only one G unit. The grade one and twos
    are more or less in order,
[12:25] ---
    so I'll just have to launch swift attacks
    revolving around this.
[12:29] ---
    I'm ready.
[12:33] ---
    Let's get started.
[12:35] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[12:38] ---
    Draw!
[12:40] ---
    Ride! This moves back with a skill.
[12:43] ---
    It's hard to guard without many triggers.
[12:46] ---
    I didn't get any perfect guards
    from just these ten packs.
[12:51] ---
    Under these conditions, it's better
    for me to attack than defend!
[12:56] ---
    I ride Rockclimb Dragoon!
[12:59] ---
    I call Disorder Star-vader, Iron
    and Nightmare Doll, Ginny!
[13:04] ---
    I attack your Vanguard!
[13:10] ---
    Stand and draw.
[13:12] ---
    I ride Rhombus Magus.
[13:15] ---
    I call Disorder Star-vader, Iron.
[13:19] ---
    Rhombus Magus attacks your rear Iron.
[13:23] ---
    He's attacking the rear on purpose
    to delay the fight's progression.
[13:26] ---
    To capitalize on the three G units?
[13:30] ---
    No guard.
[13:32] ---
    The Kiba heir, huh?
[13:35] ---
    You've got everything.
    Money, power, and talent.
[13:42] ---
    But you're ignorant about reality.
[13:47] ---
    I attack your Vanguard.
[13:51] ---
    No guard.
[13:54] ---
    Let's take our time here.
[13:56] ---
    The night is still young.
[13:59] ---
    I ride Great Composure Dragon!
[14:03] ---
    I call Beauteous Beast Tamer, Alexis
[14:05] ---
    and Battle Sister, Taffy!
[14:08] ---
    Alexis attacks Iron!
[14:10] ---
    No guard.
[14:11] ---
    Great Composure Dragon attacks your Vanguard!
[14:15] ---
    No guard.
[14:16] ---
    Twin drive!
[14:20] ---
    A stand trigger!
[14:23] ---
    I'm different from you, who's playing a game.
[14:26] ---
    This is the weight of the world
    that's on my shoulders!
[14:30] ---
    I stand Alexis!
[14:32] ---
    Nightmare Doll, Ginny attacks your Vanguard!
[14:35] ---
    I'm going to win!
[14:39] ---
    Alexis attacks your Vanguard!
[14:42] ---
    Guard.
[14:44] ---
    Turn end.
[14:46] ---
    Just 1 more point...
    I'll win this with the next stride.
[14:52] ---
    By the way,
[14:54] ---
    your family heirloom.
[14:56] ---
    I hear that inheriting it
    is the mark of being the heir?
[15:00] ---
    What about it?
[15:01] ---
    There's a legend, right?
[15:03] ---
    Something about the sword glowing
    when it's given to the true owner?
[15:08] ---
    That's just a fairy tale!
[15:11] ---
    Huh. Really?
[15:14] ---
    But look...
[15:27] ---
    We gave it to him as a test a few minutes ago,
[15:30] ---
    and that happens only with him!
[15:33] ---
    Shion. What does this mean?
[15:40] ---
    It didn't glow for you
    or my older brother, your father.
[15:46] ---
    I'm the younger brother, so they
    didn't let me touch the sword.
[15:51] ---
    But does this mean that
    I'm really the successor?
[15:56] ---
    Maybe everything is really meant to be mine.
[16:00] ---
    This sword... and Kiba, too...
[16:03] ---
    That's...
[16:04] ---
    Hey. If that's true,
[16:07] ---
    I should be down there, right?
[16:12] ---
    I'm the heir.
[16:14] ---
    It's my duty to protect Kiba.
[16:18] ---
    Am I wrong?!
[16:19] ---
    Shion!
[16:22] ---
    It doesn't matter to me.
[16:25] ---
    All I care about is playing
    a game with high stakes.
[16:28] ---
    What are we doing?
     Are you gonna continue?
[16:31] ---
    Or will the true heir take over?
[16:35] ---
    Me!
[16:36] ---
    It's me! I'm the one who'll protect Kiba!
[16:41] ---
    I see.
[16:43] ---
    Stride Generation.
[16:44] ---
    I call Darkside Princess
    and Masquerade Bunny.
[16:50] ---
    Death Star-vader, Chaos Universe
    attacks your Vanguard.
[16:55] ---
    No guard!
[16:56] ---
    Triple drive.
[16:59] ---
    I got a draw trigger.
[17:01] ---
    I give the power to Darkside Princess.
[17:05] ---
    "But I'm definitely going to win!"
[17:08] ---
    That's what the Kiba heir says, right?
[17:11] ---
    Or, no...
[17:13] ---
    The heir is that old man, right?
[17:17] ---
    And if that's the case... what are you?
[17:23] ---
    I...
[17:24] ---
    You're inheriting the Kiba role
    even though you're not qualified.
[17:28] ---
    Doesn't that just make you a liar?
[17:32] ---
    G-Guard!
[17:34] ---
    What you've believed all this time
    has been an illusion.
[17:39] ---
    All of it.
[17:41] ---
    No guard!
[17:45] ---
    This is reality, you fake heir!
[17:51] ---
    Shut your mouth!
[17:52] ---
    Alexis attacks!
[17:57] ---
    Become a strong man who's worthy
    of becoming the Kiba heir.
[18:02] ---
    I will.
[18:04] ---
    Guard.
[18:07] ---
    Colossus attacks your Vanguard!
[18:09] ---
    Skill activated! I send Alexis
    to the bottom of my deck...
[18:13] ---
    ...and Rhombus Magus
    to the bottom of your deck!
[18:17] ---
    One day, that sword will glow in my hand!
[18:23] ---
    Perfect guard.
[18:25] ---
    Ginny attacks!
[18:27] ---
    I swore to protect everything!
[18:29] ---
    Even though you're not qualified?
[18:32] ---
    Guard.
[18:35] ---
    It's my turn, huh?
[18:37] ---
    Stride Generation.
[18:40] ---
    I call Blitz-spear Dragoon
[18:42] ---
    and Nightmare Doll, Ginny.
[18:46] ---
    I can't lose against a lying impostor.
[18:51] ---
    Generation Break!
[18:54] ---
    There are three G4s.
[18:56] ---
    Two of them are the same,
    and I've got them both.
[19:01] ---
    All of my units get +2000 power.
[19:06] ---
    This is reality, rich kid.
[19:14] ---
    Game over, huh?
[19:22] ---
    Actually, remember what I said about the
    takeover of Kiba being all but complete?
[19:27] ---
    That was a lie.
[19:29] ---
    The situation was 50-50.
[19:31] ---
    Or more like 40-60, disadvantage our side.
[19:36] ---
    But this will decide it.
[19:40] ---
    The heir rose to a cheap provocation
    and bet the whole family on a game,
[19:46] ---
    which he then lost!
[19:48] ---
    Does an heir like that have a future
    playing a role on the world stage?
[19:53] ---
    I'm sure political and business VIPs
[19:55] ---
    are seriously starting to think about that.
[20:00] ---
    Oh, also...
[20:04] ---
    Don't tell me you seriously believed in this?
[20:07] ---
    Come on, in reality,
    there's no such thing as a glowing sword!
[20:11] ---
    You play a game to win, rich kid.
[20:30] ---
    Hey, did you hear?
    Kiba's company was hijacked!
[20:34] ---
    Apparently his uncle stole the company
    and the family fortune!
[20:57] ---
    My parents are relying on
    relatives in the country,
[21:00] ---
    and are going to start
    working towards a comeback.
[21:03] ---
    Iwakura is staying with them.
[21:06] ---
    I'm going to stay here to pursue Ace.
[21:10] ---
    I won't let it end like this.
[21:13] ---
    I swear I'll settle this.
[21:15] ---
    I understand that, but will
    you be okay on your own?
[21:20] ---
    No matter where I go, I am who I am.
[21:22] ---
    I'm going to continue with Vanguard
    and the G Quest, too.
[21:25] ---
    It'll be all right.
[21:28] ---
    Shion...
[21:30] ---
    Thank you so much!
[21:32] ---
    Your acting was impressive, old man.
[21:35] ---
    Oh, I wasn't that good...
[21:39] ---
    Who are you, exactly?
[21:42] ---
    You not only beat Shion,
[21:44] ---
    but also have the power to
    influence several companies,
[21:47] ---
    and even know a lot about
    difficult contracts...
[21:50] ---
    Oh, about that...

    to you about various things,
