[00:06] ---
    Kiba, why don't you solve this problem?
[00:10] ---
    Yes.
[00:14] ---
    That's correct. Wonderful.
[00:31] ---
    - Use my towel!
    - Use mine!
[00:33] ---
    No getting ahead!
[00:36] ---
    Thank you
SIGN    Vanguard Club
[02:22] ---
    He's not here yet?
[02:28] ---
    Ouch...
[02:29] ---
    Hayao, what are you doing?
[02:32] ---
    I got here early so I was
    cleaning the clubroom...
[02:36] ---
    I should do that - I'm younger than you.
[02:40] ---
    I was the youngest member until just
    recently so I did it without thinking...
SIGN    Turn 4 The "Ki" Prince of Fukuhara
[02:54] ---
    This is Fukuhara High School's Vanguard club,
    once known as one of the best,
[02:59] ---
    but its members are now...
[03:03] ---
    down to just myself and Henri Hayao here.
[03:09] ---
    Fukuhara High School...
[03:11] ---
    With cutting-edge facilities
    superb education, and accomplished
[03:16] ---
    in both literary and sports circles, it's a
    prestigious school where the elite gather.
[03:22] ---
    Shion Kiba, representing the freshmen.
[03:26] ---
    Yes!
[03:29] ---
    On this grand day, today,
[03:31] ---
    I feel blessed to have
    joined Fukuhara High School.
[03:36] ---
    There is but one reason
    I chose this school.
[03:39] ---
    So that I can master both studies and
    sports, and all aspects of my education.
[03:47] ---
    At this school, which has
    defeated many veteran fighters,
[03:51] ---
    I should have been able to
    master Vanguard, but...
[03:56] ---
    Give it a break, Hayao!
[03:58] ---
    Please wait!
[04:00] ---
    If you must play, play by yourself.
[04:03] ---
    Don't say that... Let's protect
    Fukuhara's Vanguard together!
[04:07] ---
    We can play Vanguard
    at a shop or wherever.
[04:13] ---
    Excuse me.
    You're a member of the Vanguard club?
[04:17] ---
    Are you looking to join the
    club, by any chance?
[04:21] ---
    Yes.
[04:22] ---
    We're glad to have you!
[04:25] ---
    I've seen you somewhere...
[04:27] ---
    Um...
[04:30] ---
    Shun Kiba?! The Generation Master?
[04:36] ---
    To think that you'd come here!
    It's like a dream!
[04:40] ---
    Ah...I'm Henri Hayao. Nice to meet you.
[04:44] ---
    Hayao, what was
    that commotion earlier?
[04:48] ---
    Well...that's...
[04:51] ---
    Actually...
    Fukuhara High School's Vanguard club
[04:55] ---
    might be disbanded soon.
[04:58] ---
    The veteran fighters who were once famous
    nation-wide have already left the school
[05:04] ---
    and since then, there haven't been
    any fighters who have stood out.
[05:08] ---
    They say that our role of spreading the
[05:10] ---
    school's name by becoming champion
    Vanguard players has already ended.
[05:16] ---
    The school's board of directors
    intend to close the club.
[05:21] ---
    Hearing this, all of the other members...
[05:25] ---
    They all quit?
[05:27] ---
    If the club is closed, the club room
    won't be needed anymore.
[05:31] ---
    The equipment will all be taken away
[05:34] ---
    and given to other clubs, apparently.
[05:38] ---
    B-But even if I'm the only member
    left, I'll keep the club going!
[05:42] ---
    If you don't mind...
[05:43] ---
    But it's already been decided
    to close the club, hasn't it?
[05:47] ---
    It hasn't been decided yet!
[05:49] ---
    They say the directors will discuss
    it at the meeting today...
[05:54] ---
    How about trying to convince the board?
[05:59] ---
    It's impossible...
[06:03] ---
    The club will close then.
[06:12] ---
    W-Wait!
[06:16] ---
    Alright. I'll try asking them!
[06:24] ---
    U-Um...
[06:26] ---
    I... Er...
[06:29] ---
    Fukuhara High School's Vanguard
    club has a shining history
[06:34] ---
    and I personally... Um...
[06:37] ---
    What is it? Speak up!
[06:40] ---
    We let you into the meeting
    as a special exception
[06:43] ---
    because you said there was something
    you absolutely had to tell us.
[06:47] ---
    That's why...
    allowing the club to continue...
[06:50] ---
    Hayao.
[06:53] ---
    It's been decided already.
[06:59] ---
    This discussion is finished.
[07:02] ---
    Please wait!
[07:05] ---
    When I was in middle school,
    I saw the match where
[07:09] ---
    Suzugamori dominated the
    national championship on television.
[07:14] ---
    His opponent was Leon Soryu
    from Team Dreadnought.
[07:19] ---
    With one win and one loss, it was a match
    with the championship in the balance.
[07:23] ---
    Suzugamori, who went first,
    redrew four cards.
[07:27] ---
    There was a chance he wouldn't draw a
    Grade 1 unit and be unable to Ride,
[07:31] ---
    but he was able to Ride
    Barrier Troop Revenger, Dorint!
[07:36] ---
    The championship match is
    finally coming to a close!
[07:40] ---
    Oh! Fukuhara High School's Ren Suzugamori
    has launched a sudden attack!
[07:46] ---
    And on that fateful ninth turn!
[07:48] ---
    Leon Soryu's ferocious attacks took
    Suzugamori's hand down to just one card!
[07:54] ---
    Then he used skills
    to replenish his ranks
[07:56] ---
    make an attack with his trump
    card, Raging Form Dragon!
[08:00] ---
    His opponent used Perfect Guard,
[08:01] ---
    but he turned the tide with a Superior
    Ride using Raging Form Dragon's limit break
[08:06] ---
    and finally won the national championship!
[08:12] ---
    Ever since then,
[08:14] ---
    I have admired my senior fighters and
[08:17] ---
    I came to this school in
    order to play Vanguard!
[08:21] ---
    If you insist on disbanding
    the Vanguard club,
[08:25] ---
    I...
[08:27] ---
    What will you do?
[08:28] ---
    Surely you wouldn't quit school?
[08:34] ---
    Shion?
[08:35] ---
    If I remember, you are...
[08:37] ---
    Shion Kiba, a freshman.
[08:40] ---
    Please allow me to make a
    suggestion to the board.
[08:44] ---
    A suggestion?
[08:46] ---
    Yes. I believe some of you are aware,
[08:50] ---
    but one of the biggest, most
    important Vanguard competitions,
[08:53] ---
    the Under 20 will be held soon.
[08:57] ---
    The Under 20...
[08:59] ---
    If we enter this competition as members
    of the Fukuhara Vanguard club,
[09:05] ---
    and win the championship, would you
    consider allowing the club to remain?
[09:10] ---
    Winning the Under 20 championship?
[09:12] ---
    However,
    considering its many past glories,
[09:17] ---
    the Vanguard club's role is finished now.
[09:22] ---
    But the Under 20 championship
    is very noteworthy.
[09:27] ---
    If we win the Under 20,
[09:29] ---
    there will be immense
    merits for this school.
[09:36] ---
    - I wonder...
    - However...
[09:38] ---
    Alright.
[09:40] ---
    We will leave the matter of disbanding
    the Vanguard club until after the Under 20.
[09:46] ---
    Do you have any objections to this?
[09:51] ---
    No, that's fine.
[09:54] ---
    However...
[09:56] ---
    The club room has already been
    given to another club to use.
[10:00] ---
    You will have to move by the end of today.
    I trust there will be no problems?
[10:04] ---
    That's fine.
[10:06] ---
    But please let us keep one table in
    the new club room for practice.
[10:11] ---
    Very well.
[10:12] ---
    Thank you.
[10:14] ---
    T-Thank you!
[10:16] ---
    But can you really do it?
[10:19] ---
    Something like winning the Under 20.
[10:22] ---
    Shion...
[10:24] ---
    We will definitely win!
[10:26] ---
    I, Shion Kiba, promise you!
[10:28] ---
    Home Economics
[10:29] ---
    Gently, gently...
[10:32] ---
    Let's leave it here.
[10:38] ---
    This is the new club room?
[10:42] ---
    I'm glad that we even have a club room.
[10:45] ---
    Well, I suppose so.
[10:50] ---
    Is something wrong?
[10:53] ---
    It's just...all of this is
    thanks to you, Shion.
[10:57] ---
    Thank you so much.
[10:59] ---
    There's no need to thank me.
[11:05] ---
    If there is adversity, I will overcome it.
[11:08] ---
    That is my... Shion Kiba's way.
[11:12] ---
    If you hadn't been up to it,
    I would have done it alone.
[11:18] ---
    Alone? I see...
[11:21] ---
    If you're really aiming
    to win the Under 20,
[11:25] ---
    I'll only be in you way, won't I?
[11:31] ---
    You're wrong. I didn't mean it like that.
[11:35] ---
    But...
[11:36] ---
    Will you fight me to test yourself then?
[11:38] ---
    Eh? Me fight Shion?
[11:41] ---
    We'll have to know each others' power
    if we're to play together in this club.
[11:46] ---
    That's true, but-
[11:48] ---
    Well then, please go easy on me, Hayao.
[11:53] ---
    Don't chicken out!
    You get to fight Shion Kiba for real!
[11:57] ---
    That's an amazing thing!
[12:01] ---
    Stand up, the Vanguard!
[12:13] ---
    Knight of Discipline, Alectos!
[12:16] ---
    Harbinger Dracokid!
[12:20] ---
    Ride!
[12:21] ---
    Headwind Knight, Selim!
[12:24] ---
    Ride! Trainee Monk Dragon!
[12:30] ---
    I should call this one as well...
[12:32] ---
    But I want to save it to
    Stride with as well...
[12:37] ---
    Attack Vanguard!
[12:39] ---
    No Guard!
[12:45] ---
    Turn End.
[12:47] ---
    Here I come, Hayao!
[12:49] ---
    Ride!
[12:50] ---
    Counteroffensive Knight, Suleiman!
[12:53] ---
    Call!
[12:54] ---
    Flying Swallow Knight, Claus!
[12:56] ---
    Counteroffensive Knight, Suleiman!
[12:59] ---
    He's launched an immediate attack
    using the cards in his hand!
[13:03] ---
    Even though it's only the third turn!
[13:05] ---
    Attack Vanguard!
[13:07] ---
    Guard!
[13:09] ---
    Attack!
[13:10] ---
    Guard!
[13:12] ---
    I'm not done yet!
[13:15] ---
    Guard!
[13:17] ---
    Drive Check!
[13:18] ---
    Get! Heal Trigger!
[13:21] ---
    Add 5000 Power to my Vanguard!
[13:24] ---
    Guard broken through!
[13:31] ---
    A guard that only just
    manages to hold off an attack,
[13:34] ---
    can easily be overcome if
    your opponent gets a trigger.
[13:39] ---
    Should I have used this instead?
[13:42] ---
    Ride!
[13:43] ---
    Martial Arts Dragon!
[13:46] ---
    Activate Martial Arts Skill!
[13:48] ---
    Retire Claus and Bind it.
[13:52] ---
    If I call this, I won't be able to
    Guard against any more attacks.
[13:56] ---
    Attack Vanguard with my
    Martial Arts Dragon!
[14:00] ---
    No Guard!
[14:01] ---
    Drive Check!
[14:03] ---
    Get! Critical Trigger!
[14:05] ---
    Critical to my Vanguard,
[14:07] ---
    and Power...
    The Power to my Vanguard as well.
[14:16] ---
    If I'd Called this card, I would have
    been able to apply the Trigger to it...
[14:22] ---
    I knew I wouldn't be a match for Shion...
[14:27] ---
    Reign supreme! My new blade!
[14:30] ---
    Ride! Knight of Heavenly Decree, Altmile!
[14:35] ---
    I move Selim!
[14:36] ---
    Call Belenus and Redon.
[14:39] ---
    Attack Vanguard!
[14:41] ---
    Guard!
[14:43] ---
    Attack with Blue Sky Knight, Altmile!
[14:46] ---
    Use Belenus' Skill to add 5000 Power!
[14:49] ---
    No Guard!
[14:54] ---
    I have to hold out somehow!
[14:57] ---
    Attack with Knight of Ambuscade, Redon!
[15:00] ---
    Guard!
[15:03] ---
    Ride!
[15:04] ---
    Dragonic Vanquisher!
[15:07] ---
    Release the Generation Zone!
[15:09] ---
    Stride Generation!
[15:14] ---
    Conquering Supreme Dragon,
    Dragonic Vanquisher "VOLTAGE"!
[15:18] ---
    Stride Skill!
    Retire Redon and Bind it!
[15:22] ---
    Add 3000 Power with
    Harbinger Dracokid's Skill!
[15:27] ---
    Dragonic Vanquisher "VOLTAGE",
[15:29] ---
    Attack Vanguard!
[15:32] ---
    No Guard!
[15:34] ---
    I use Dragonic Vanquisher
    "VOLTAGE"'s Skill!
[15:37] ---
    When it scores a hit on the enemy Vanguard,
    one of their Rear-guards must retreat!
[15:42] ---
    Bind Alectos and Suleiman
    from the Drop Zone!
[15:48] ---
    Turn End.
[15:49] ---
    He managed to Stride but didn't
    call a single Rear-guard?
[15:56] ---
    Is this really his best?
[16:00] ---
    It can't be!
[16:03] ---
    Hayao, if you thought
    that retiring my
[16:05] ---
    Rear-guards would weaken my attack,
[16:08] ---
    you're mistaken!
[16:12] ---
    Stride Generation!
[16:14] ---
    Divine Knight of Lore, Selfes!
[16:17] ---
    Stride Skill!
[16:18] ---
    Superior Call Suleiman!
[16:21] ---
    Add 4000 to Power!
[16:22] ---
    Call Claus!
[16:24] ---
    I now hold 3 cards or less in my hand so
    Suleiman and Selim's Brave abilities are active.
[16:28] ---
    They both add 3000 to their Power!
[16:32] ---
    The formation I only just got rid of
    is suddenly back again!
[16:37] ---
    Defense is important.
[16:39] ---
    There are times when you must
    defend with all your might.
[16:42] ---
    But you used all of your cards
    defending at the start of the fight
[16:47] ---
    and have only been able to
    attack with your Vanguard.
[16:50] ---
    If you don't attack when you must attack,
[16:53] ---
    you will never be able to achieve victory!
[16:57] ---
    Here I come!
[16:58] ---
    Attack Vanguard!
[17:00] ---
    I'll Guard with this...
[17:02] ---
    No! It's just as Shion said.
[17:05] ---
    It's a bit late, but I'll stake
    everything on this turn!
[17:10] ---
    No Guard!
[17:19] ---
    That's right...
[17:21] ---
    I was frightened of Shion's
    very existence from the beginning!
[17:25] ---
    I had already lost mentally!
[17:27] ---
    There's no way I'd be able to
    fight at the Under 20 like that!
[17:32] ---
    It's discourteous to Shion as well!
[17:37] ---
    Turn End!
[17:38] ---
    Stride Generation!
[17:44] ---
    Conquering Supreme Dragon,
    Dragonic Vanquisher "VMAX"!
[17:50] ---
    Stride Skill!
[17:52] ---
    Retire and Bind Suleiman!
[17:54] ---
    Call!
[17:55] ---
    Demonic Dragon Berserker, Chatura
    and Trainee Monk Dragon!
[17:59] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Chatura!
[18:01] ---
    Guard!
[18:03] ---
    Attack with Dragonic Vanquisher "VMAX"!
[18:06] ---
    I use its skill to attack the Vanguard
    and both Selim units at the same time!
[18:10] ---
    Guard!
[18:11] ---
    And Generation Guard!
[18:13] ---
    Divine Knight of Godly Defense, Igraine! Brave!
[18:16] ---
    Add 15,000 to the shield!
[18:19] ---
    Triple Drive!
[18:22] ---
    Second Check!
[18:24] ---
    Third Check!
[18:25] ---
    Critical Trigger!
[18:27] ---
    Add all of its effects to Chatura!
[18:52] ---
    Activate VMAX's Thunderstrike!
[18:55] ---
    At the end of the battle, if you have no
    Rear-guards, deal 1 damage to the Vanguard!
[19:04] ---
    Alright!
[19:05] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Chatura!
[19:09] ---
    His attitude which lets him face his
    mistakes honestly and get back up again...
[19:13] ---
    Guard!
[19:14] ---
    I knew I wasn't mistaken about him!
[19:18] ---
    Turn End!
[19:20] ---
    Stand and Draw!
[19:22] ---
    Activate Knight of Heavenly Decree,
    Altmile's Skill!
[19:25] ---
    At the start of the Ride Phase,
[19:27] ---
    Superior Call Regius!
[19:29] ---
    Add 4000 to Power!
[19:32] ---
    Stride Generation!
[19:34] ---
    Holy Dragon, Brave Lancer Dragon!
[19:38] ---
    Stride Skill! Superior Call Claus!
[19:42] ---
    Add 4000 to Power!
[19:44] ---
    I use Claus's skill to add 2000 Power
    to Claus and Regius!
[19:48] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Claus!
[19:51] ---
    Guard!
[19:53] ---
    Attack with Regius!
[19:55] ---
    Intercept!
[19:58] ---
    I use Brave Lancer Dragon to
[20:00] ---
    Attack Vanguard!
[20:03] ---
    Activate Brave Lancer's skill!
[20:05] ---
    Superior Call!
[20:07] ---
    He's Called three units again!
[20:09] ---
    Brave Lancer's Brave ability is active!
    Add 3000 Power to Brave Lancer!
[20:14] ---
    Redon's skill adds 3000 Power to itself!
    Redon's Brave ability is active!
[20:19] ---
    It adds 3000 Power to all
    other units in the front row!
[20:24] ---
    I can't defend against that...
[20:28] ---
    No guard!
[20:42] ---
    You really are strong, Shion.
[20:44] ---
    I was no match for you.
[20:52] ---
    What's that?
[20:53] ---
    It's the club captain's badge.
[20:56] ---
    It's been passed down from captain
    to captain since the beginning.
[21:01] ---
    The new Fukuhara Vanguard club
    should be led by you, Shion.
[21:05] ---
    What are you saying?
[21:07] ---
    It's obvious you should be the captain!
[21:11] ---
    That fateful ninth turn...
[21:13] ---
    Ren Suzugamori's hand was
    reduced to one card
[21:16] ---
    by Leon Soryu's
    five consecutive attacks.
[21:18] ---
    That's...
[21:20] ---
    He used a skill to replenish his ranks
    and attacked with Raging Form Dragon.
[21:25] ---
    A Perfect Guard blocked him,
[21:26] ---
    but he turned the tide with a Superior
    Ride using Raging Form Dragon's limit break.
[21:32] ---
    I never thought there would be someone else
    who had perfectly memorized that match.
[21:38] ---
    In the second half of this fight,
[21:40] ---
    you made a superb recovery, did you not?
[21:44] ---
    That badge should be worn by you.
[21:54] ---
    The glory of Fukuhara high
    school's Vanguard club...
[21:58] ---
    Are you alright?
[22:01] ---
    What's wrong?!
[22:02] ---
    You can only enter the Under 20
    with a team of three people!
[22:06] ---
    We can't enter unless we
    find another person!

[22:14] ---
    Someone in mind?
[23:48] ---
    Fukuhara High School's Vanguard club
    has been allowed to continue!
[23:51] ---

[23:54] ---
    You don't have time to be saying
    things like that, Hayao.
[23:58] ---
    You're right...
[23:59] ---
    We haven't found
    a third member yet either...
[24:02] ---
    Huh? Shion, one of your
    shirt buttons is hanging off.
[24:08] ---
    I'll fix it for you.
    There's a sewing kit here.
[24:11] ---
