[00:11] ---
    What's wrong with wanting to become strong?
[00:15] ---
    Somebody who was strong from the beginning
     without doing anything can't understand.
[00:20] ---
    Can't understand the feelings of us losers.
[00:23] ---
    You're the one who's wrong, Chrono!
[00:29] ---
    How can I get across to Taiyou
[00:32] ---
    how much fun Vanguard is?
[00:48] ---
    A letter came for you, Young Master.
[00:51] ---
    A letter?
[00:53] ---
    Chrono! Tokoha!
SIGN    Invitation Chrono Shindou
[00:59] ---
    The invitation to a special match
    from United Sanctuary Branch?
[02:37] ---
    Settling things at this
    special match is a good idea.
[02:42] ---
    Except...
[02:45] ---
    ...Dragon Empire Branch is preparing a
    general assembly of the branch chiefs.
[02:49] ---
    General assembly of the branch chiefs?
[02:51] ---
    Where the branch chiefs
    gather to talk about issues.
[02:54] ---
    Wow. They rarely hold those.
[02:57] ---
    The topic for discussion is United Sanctuary
    Branch's management method, isn't it?
[03:01] ---
    Yeah. If it's decided that they've gone
    too far, the branch will be suspended
[03:05] ---
    and your special match
    will probably be canceled.
[03:08] ---
    It is a major problem.
[03:11] ---
    Dragon Empire is taking it seriously, too.
[03:14] ---
    Even so, we want to tackle
    this in our own way.
[03:20] ---
    Then show 'em how you feel.
SIGN    Turn 40 Nextage
[03:33] ---
    How long is this meeting going to last?
[03:36] ---
    I just hope Mamoru doesn't forget our plan
    to get some sweet bean paste in Shitamachi.
[03:41] ---
    We have both the necessary approval
    of other branches to hold
[03:45] ---
    a branch chief general assembly
    and a motion to carry it.
[03:49] ---
    If we submit it to association headquarters,
    we should be able to hold it right away.
[03:54] ---
    We'll expose their evil deeds
    to the light of day!
[03:57] ---
    But why hasn't HQ
    done anything up to now?
[04:00] ---
    HQ dispatched Ibuki over there.
    What's he doing?
[04:09] ---
    Mamoru, move forward on this.
[04:12] ---
    Please wait!
[04:15] ---
    Tokoha! Chrono and Shion, too!
[04:18] ---
    We're in a meeting.
[04:20] ---
    That's why we came.
[04:22] ---
    Please wait on your
    branch chief general assembly.
[04:25] ---
    Do you know what you're saying?
[04:28] ---
    Yes. We just want you to wait
    until after the special match
[04:32] ---
    this weekend at
    United Sanctuary Branch.
[04:34] ---
    We wanna prove something to
    Taiyou and the other fighters.
[04:37] ---
    We wanna show them the Vanguard
    we believe in, the fun Vanguard!
[04:42] ---
    That special match is our only opportunity!
[04:45] ---
    Go home. Children have no say here.
[04:48] ---
    I know. But this is...
[04:51] ---
    ...our problem, too!
[04:53] ---
    It's the duty of adults
    to take responsibility.
[04:55] ---
    That's right. That's why we're here.
[04:58] ---
    We're serious!
[05:01] ---
    You want to prove that with
    a fight? How childish.
[05:05] ---
    I know how you feel,
[05:07] ---
    but leave this matter to us.
[05:22] ---
    Show me how serious you are.
[05:25] ---
    Branch Chief!
[05:26] ---
    I'm in charge of this branch.
[05:30] ---
    Do what you want.
[05:34] ---
    Then I'll be the judge!
[05:39] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[05:41] ---
    Gunnergear Dracokid!
[05:44] ---
    Harbinger Dracokid!
[05:46] ---
    Ride!
[05:48] ---
    Masergear Dragon!
[05:50] ---
    I ride Thunder Shout Dragon!
[05:53] ---
    Attack!
[05:59] ---
    I ride Smokegear Dragon!
[06:02] ---
    Attack!
[06:07] ---
    I ride Wyvern Strike, Bargs!
[06:10] ---
    Attack!
[06:11] ---
    Drive trigger check!
[06:13] ---
    I got a critical trigger!
[06:21] ---
    This is the first time I've seen
    that branch chief not smiling.
[06:25] ---
    Generation Zone... release!
[06:31] ---
    Heaven and earth.
[06:34] ---
    Use that harmonic balance
    to carve out the future!
[06:37] ---
    Stride Generation!
[06:48] ---
    Conquering Supreme Dragon,
[06:51] ---
    Conquest Dragon!
[06:55] ---
    Dragonic Vanquisher's stride skill!
[06:58] ---
    I retire Steam Fighter, Amber!
[07:01] ---
    And bind!
[07:02] ---
    Conquest Dragon's skill!
[07:04] ---
    I retire Glimmerbreath!
[07:06] ---
    And then each of my front row units
    gets +10000 power!
[07:10] ---
    He shut down Chrono's intercepts
    and even powered up?!
[07:14] ---
    True strength is for the sake of the weak.
[07:17] ---
    Mow him down, Conquest Dragon!
[07:23] ---
    5 damage?!
[07:25] ---
    Strong... He's not the
    branch chief for nothing!
[07:28] ---
    The branch chief is...
[07:30] ---
    Is this what your seriousness is?
[07:37] ---
    Give me power, Chronojet!
[07:42] ---
    Since meeting you guys, I've
    learned what sincere enjoyment is.
[07:48] ---
    I'm sure Taiyou knows what that is, too.
[07:50] ---
    So I wanna remind him
    what having fun is about!
[07:54] ---
    We'll take him on together!
[07:59] ---
    Generation Zone... release!
[08:04] ---
    Now, shine on...
[08:06] ---
    ...the possibilities of my future!
[08:09] ---
    Stride Generation!
[08:21] ---
    Chronodragon Nextage!
[08:24] ---
    Let's go, Chronodragon Nextage!
[08:29] ---
    Guard!
[08:33] ---
    He blocked that, too?!
[08:37] ---
    To respond to Chrono's feelings
[08:40] ---
    and show his own feelings,
[08:42] ---
    he's being this harsh.
[08:46] ---
    I'm not done yet! We're not stopping!
[08:49] ---
    We'll rise up again and again!
[08:51] ---
    Until my feelings get across!
[08:59] ---
    That smile.
[09:02] ---
    If you don't enjoy yourself here,
    that feeling won't reach him either.
[09:08] ---
    This is as far as the fight goes.
    Now I know how serious you three are.
[09:13] ---
    Then...
[09:14] ---
    But we can't wait.
[09:18] ---
    As there are people in trouble, we can't
    delay our actions for your convenience.
[09:24] ---
    But we want to show how we feel,
    especially at a time like this!
[09:27] ---
    Then I'll ask you something.
[09:28] ---
    What are you going to do if your feelings
    don't come across at the special match?
[09:34] ---
    You keep talking about Taiyou, but what
    if the other fighters don't understand?
[09:39] ---
    What if you get involved
    with something dangerous?
[09:44] ---
    Our first priority is you.
[09:48] ---
    And protecting the honest fighters
    of United Sanctuary Branch.
[09:58] ---
    That being said,
[10:00] ---
    formal procedures does take time.
[10:04] ---
    Even if they move quickly, the branch chief
    assembly will be after the weekend,
[10:07] ---
    and after your special match
    is held, I'm sure.
[10:10] ---
    So what you do during
    that window is up to you.
[10:15] ---
    Thank you!
[10:17] ---
    This is what I'm talking about.
[10:19] ---
    It can't be helped.
[10:20] ---
    This is the branch chief
    of our Dragon Empire.
[10:23] ---
    Ryutarou Oyama.
[10:27] ---
    Using my head has made me hungry!
[10:29] ---
    Oof!
[10:30] ---
    I'm no match for him.
[10:44] ---
    "Weakness is a sin!" I can't
    understand that way of thinking.
[10:49] ---
    Since we're strong...
[10:51] ---
    Yeah.
[10:52] ---
    We don't rely on any branch
    or strengthening program.
[10:55] ---
    The three of us make each other strong!
[10:58] ---
    That's who we are...
[11:00] ---
    Trinity Dragon!
[11:01] ---
    Okay.
[11:02] ---
    We had to do that, right?
[11:03] ---
    Yeah.
[11:04] ---
    It's because we have a strong bond!
[11:08] ---
    No matter what happens, our bond will...
[11:11] ---
    Huh? Where's mine?
[11:14] ---
    Thank you!
[11:16] ---
    You guys! I'm through with you!
[11:22] ---
    This deck, please.
[11:24] ---
    Shadow Paladin. That's Kanzaki's clan.
[11:28] ---
    Your opponents are Team Demise, right?
[11:31] ---
    I'm going to beat them,
    then haul Kanzaki out of there.
[11:34] ---
    I see. So I'm the virtual Kanzaki.
[11:39] ---
    Yes.
[11:40] ---
    But are you sure?
[11:41] ---
    You don't have much time left for training.
[11:45] ---
    That's okay.
[11:46] ---
    I'm good at devising logical tactics.
[11:51] ---
    I thought I'd share the results with Chrono
    and Tokoha later, then consider them together.
[11:56] ---
    All right! Then shall we get started?
[11:58] ---
    If I made a synthesis of what the three
    of you saw, this would be the deck.
[12:03] ---
    When you're fighting with Royal Paladin,
    attack the Vanguard as much as possible.
[12:08] ---
    He can call rear-guards with skills,
[12:11] ---
    so even if you attack the rear-guards,
    he can quickly build them back up again.
[12:15] ---
    Next, Neo-Nectar, please!
[12:17] ---
    That grade 3 Claret Sword Dragon
[12:20] ---
    can increase its power and critical
     with Generation Break.
[12:24] ---
    Try not to get hit with a damaging attack...
    Try not to waste perfect guards...
[12:30] ---
    Young Master...
[12:31] ---
    No matter what the difficult problem may be,
    he always tried to solve it by himself.
[12:37] ---
    However, now he's got friends to
    tackle the problems with him.
[12:42] ---
    He's making a great effort
    for those dear friends.
[12:49] ---
    He's grown.
[12:52] ---
    So much that he doesn't
    need my support anymore.
[12:56] ---
    My passion and your sword...
[13:00] ---
    ...ride!
[13:02] ---
    Blue Sky Knight, Altmile!
[13:09] ---
    We haven't fought at home for a long time.
[13:11] ---
    Since you're home, I figured I'd better
    take advantage of it and have you train me!
[13:16] ---
    There's someone I want to pass up.
[13:18] ---
    You mean Rin Hashima, right?
[13:20] ---
    You knew?
[13:22] ---
    Yeah. I fought her once, long ago.
[13:26] ---
    The result may have hurt her.
[13:32] ---
    So that's why she picks on me?
[13:35] ---
    It seems she hasn't treated you well.
[13:39] ---
    I'm okay. It might have started with you,
[13:42] ---
    but I'm the one who's going
    to fight Rin Hashima.
[13:47] ---
    All right! Then I'm gonna play
    harder than usual.
[13:50] ---
    And I'm not gonna lose!
[13:52] ---
    Attack!
[13:54] ---
    I lost again! One more time!
[13:57] ---
    Attack!
[13:58] ---
    I'm not done yet!
[14:00] ---
    Attack!
[14:02] ---
    I'm gonna win next time!
[14:05] ---
    That's the look I like.
[14:06] ---
    What?
[14:09] ---
    I'm gonna make it even tougher for you!
[14:12] ---
    The stride skill of Ahsha can call a
    rear-guard with the same name as its stride skill,
[14:16] ---
    so if there isn't a strong card out when
    it strides, you can't fully utilize it.
[14:20] ---
    If the rear-guard is attacked,
    do everything you can to guard it.
[14:24] ---
    Got it. I'll try it out.
[14:26] ---
    Sparkling bud, now is the time to bloom!
[14:29] ---
    Ranunculus Flower Maiden, Ahsha!
[14:32] ---
    Ride!
[14:35] ---
    Kagero is the clan I recommend.
[14:37] ---
    It's strong and cool.
[14:39] ---
    Uh uh.
[14:41] ---
    I like the cute flowers
    better than the dragons.
[14:45] ---
    I chose Neo-Nectar for such a simple reason.
[14:50] ---
    And my first fight...
[14:55] ---
    Darn it!
[14:57] ---
    You're not holding back at all, Bro!
[15:00] ---
    Sorry about that.
[15:03] ---
    I see. We've been together since then.
[15:08] ---
    Even when the makeup of my deck changed,
    Ahsha has always been with me.
[15:13] ---
    I thought I chose the clan
    for no special reason,
[15:18] ---
    but now I'm sure it was fate.
[15:21] ---
    We stayed together as time went by.
[15:24] ---
    That's right. You're my sister.
[15:28] ---
    I may not be able to do it on my own,
[15:30] ---
    but together we can beat Bro!
[15:36] ---
    My soulmate is right here!
[15:38] ---
    Mikuru, please become my personal princess!
[15:42] ---
    Th-Thank you...
[15:44] ---
    Th-That aside, dinner is almost ready,
    so relax until then, Jaime.
[15:50] ---
    Certainly, Mikuru.
[15:51] ---
    Hey, that's my aunt.
[15:54] ---
    Call me "Unca Jaime"!
[15:59] ---
    Jaime, who gave that to you?
[16:01] ---
    That's...
[16:05] ---
    ...a secret!
[16:07] ---
    It's more fun if you find the
    answer for yourself, right?
[16:11] ---
    What the heck is that?!
[16:14] ---
    All right, shall we get started?
[16:16] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[16:22] ---
    What does it mean to have "fun"?
[16:25] ---
    Your words, remember? You said you wanted
    to show Taiyou how fun Vanguard is.
[16:30] ---
    Don't you think it's fun for him if he wins?
[16:34] ---
    True, winning is fun, but...
[16:38] ---
    ...that's not what I want to show him.
[16:42] ---
    The first time I fought Taiyou, it was fun.
[16:47] ---
    Not because I won.
[16:50] ---
    But because I learned about
    Taiyou through the fight.
[16:55] ---
    Because he learned about me...
[16:58] ---
    Both of you were trembling right here, huh?
[17:01] ---
    I want him to remember the
    reasons we had fun then.
[17:06] ---
    And I wanna see Taiyou
    smile again as we fight.
[17:10] ---
    I wanna see it, too!
[17:13] ---
    But to do that, you'll need to
    improve your deck more, Chrono!
[17:18] ---
    Generation Zone... release!
[17:33] ---
    Move on, fateful route that leads me!
[17:37] ---
    Stride Generation!
[17:57] ---
    This is the first time Chrono's
    brought a friend home.
[18:00] ---
    Maybe this is thanks to Vanguard too, Bro.
[18:10] ---
    After this, I'm going to
    continue analyzing decks,
[18:13] ---
    so would you
    bring breakfast to my room?
[18:15] ---
    Certainly.
[18:18] ---
    Young Master...
[18:20] ---
    I thought this unit would be
    fitting for you now.
[18:27] ---
    This is...
[18:28] ---
    ...Altmile's future?
[18:31] ---
    You didn't need me.
[18:34] ---
    I'm sure you would have gotten it
    with your own strength eventually.
[18:38] ---
    Thank you, Iwakura.
[18:40] ---
    I couldn't have asked for a better gift.
[18:43] ---
    I am not worthy of those words.
[18:53] ---
    Ahsha, attack!
[18:59] ---
    I won!
[19:00] ---
    I beat Bro for the first time!
[19:03] ---
    I won! I won! Yay!
[19:03] ---
    I was seriously fighting...
[19:07] ---
    I thought I would give this
    to you when you won.
[19:12] ---
    Ahsha's future...
[19:15] ---
    Thank you, Bro!
[19:17] ---
    You won it with your own ability, Tokoha.
[19:23] ---
    Tokoha...
[19:34] ---
    I'm gonna get strong... Strong...
[19:38] ---
    I'm gonna get strong!
[19:48] ---
    I can trust you, can't I, Ibuki?
[19:54] ---
    The cellular customer is unable to
    come to the phone at the moment.
[19:57] ---
    Please leave a message.
[20:01] ---
    Ibuki, why are you taking
    orders from Kanzaki?
[20:06] ---
    Tell me your reason.
[20:09] ---
    I have a report.
[20:11] ---
    Dragon Empire Branch
[20:13] ---
    has petitioned headquarters for
    a general assembly of the branch chiefs.
[20:17] ---
    They're likely to approve it
    by Monday at the latest.
[20:19] ---
    I see. I'll let you deal with that.
[20:22] ---
    Okay. That's all.
[20:25] ---
    Excuse me.
[20:28] ---
    I know you have an objective.
[20:32] ---
    But that doesn't matter to me. You're strong.
[20:37] ---
    That's why you're still here.
[20:41] ---
    I have also discovered the
    value in your existence.
[20:46] ---
    That's why I'm here.
[20:56] ---
    Shion...
[20:58] ---
    Tokoha...
[21:00] ---
    Let's have fun playing Vanguard!
[21:10] ---
    Why does everybody have to watch?
[21:13] ---
    I hear it's a direct order from Ibuki.
[21:15] ---
    Shoot. I could be using this time to
    get stronger myself through training.
[21:22] ---
    It actually feels good to be fighting
    in a different place, you know?
[21:25] ---
    And we have people rooting for us.
[21:29] ---
    Don't lose to anybody but us, Trinity Dragon!
[21:32] ---
    Tokoha! Muss her up!
[21:37] ---
    Just over there. Card Capital.
[21:40] ---
    Today we bring you a special match here
[21:44] ---
    at United Sanctuary Branch.
[21:46] ---
    And now, the pride of our branch,
    the strongest team, Team Demise!
[21:55] ---
    Shouma Shinonome!
[21:56] ---
    Rin Hashima!
[23:40] ---
    Strong... I'm gonna get strong...
[23:43] ---
    And then I'll surpass... Chrono Shindou...
[23:57] ---
    All right! Our Kanzaki
    countermeasures are perfect!
[24:00] ---
    Listen, Shion is the one who
    came up with most of it.
[24:04] ---
    Don't dwell on the details!
    You'll spoil the momentum.
[24:07] ---
    Okay, okay! Don't argue
    before a decisive battle!
[24:10] ---
    If you don't mind, Shion,
    it's fine with me, but...
[24:13] ---
    Anyway, the big day is
    finally here, Shion, Chrono.
[24:16] ---
    Let me hear your enthusiasm!
[24:18] ---
    We'll definitely win this time!
SIGN    Tokoha Versus Rin
[24:20] ---
    The time has come!
    That's all I have to say!
