[00:01] ---
    We move on to the second fight.
[00:03] ---
    Kiba has challenged Shinonome.
[00:06] ---
    It's an honor to be challenged by you.
[00:10] ---
    I'm going to pay you back
    for what happened at regionals...
[00:13] ---
    ...with the fight that we believe in!
[01:49] ---
    Hashima had a stunning defeat.
[01:52] ---
    However, this person is sure to win.
[01:57] ---
    He's United Sanctuary branch's top fighter,
     Team Demise's absolute ace,
[02:02] ---
    Shouma Shinonome!
[02:04] ---
    Shouma!
[02:05] ---
    We're counting on you, Shinonome!
[02:08] ---
    His opponent is, like Anjou,
    a member of Team TRY3.
[02:12] ---
    Shion Kiba.
[02:19] ---
    Hey, come on. This feels more
    and more like an away game.
[02:22] ---
    It seems Rin Hashima's loss
     has stirred them up.
[02:26] ---
    I'm scared.
[02:27] ---
    I hope Shion is okay...
[02:29] ---
    No problem. Look at his face.
[02:34] ---
    He hasn't forgotten
     to enjoy the fight.
[02:37] ---
    Hey, don't get scared. Cheer him on!
[02:42] ---
    Win this, Shion! We're with you!
[02:42] ---
    Beat him, Shion! Fight, fight, fight!
[02:46] ---
    Shion! Beat him!
[02:54] ---
    Amusing.
SIGN    Turn 42 Shion Versus Shouma
[03:02] ---
    Kiba will start. Shinonome will go second.
[03:07] ---
    We continue with choosing the field.
[03:10] ---
    You decide, since you're on our turf.
[03:14] ---
    The least I can do is let you
    choose the battleground.
[03:18] ---
    Then I'll avail myself of your kind offer.
[03:24] ---
    And then there was light.
[03:31] ---
    This is...
[03:33] ---
    ...United Sanctuary's Shrine of the Abyss.
[03:36] ---
    That's the field Shinonome beat Shion on
    last time! Why would he choose that?!
[03:39] ---
    Go, Shion!
[03:41] ---
    Show him what you're made of now!
[03:46] ---
    The prince has an unyielding spirit.
[03:51] ---
    The second fight of the special match!
[03:53] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[03:57] ---
    Shining Knight, Millius!
[03:59] ---
    Fetter of Leather, Leyding!
[04:03] ---
    I ride Lunar Crescent Knight, Felax!
[04:06] ---
    I ride Fetter of Fiber, Dromi!
[04:11] ---
    Attack!
[04:13] ---
    Ride!
[04:15] ---
    Absolute Blade Knight, Livarot!
[04:17] ---
    Attack!
[04:22] ---
    Objections to United Sanctuary
    branch's policies,
[04:26] ---
    along with Branch Chief Kanzaki
     and Taiyou Asukawa...
[04:31] ---
    It seems you people are facing this match
[04:34] ---
    with a variety of feelings and resolutions.
[04:39] ---
    Would you forget all of that?
[04:42] ---
    Even though it doesn't mean anything to me.
[04:46] ---
    I ride Unappeasable Biter, Gleipnir!!
[04:50] ---
    I call Jormungand!
[04:53] ---
    I like United Sanctuary. But that's all.
[04:58] ---
    I'm neither burdened with nor devoted to
    United Sanctuary's doctrine or ideology.
[05:04] ---
    Gleipnir attacks your Vanguard!
[05:07] ---
    Drive check. Critical trigger.
[05:11] ---
    I give the power to Jormungand and
    the extra critical to Gleipnir.
[05:18] ---
    Jormungand attacks your Vanguard!
[05:23] ---
    I want to have fun fighting.
[05:26] ---
    I don't need anything more than that.
[05:30] ---
    This match belongs to just you and me.
[05:36] ---
    The damage is 4 to 1.
[05:39] ---
    Shinonome has had a big lead
     since the beginning.
[05:43] ---
    It seems his victory is assured.
[05:47] ---
    With your sword and my passion,
[05:50] ---
    I ride...
[05:51] ---
    ...Blue Sky Knight, Altmile!
[05:56] ---
    Altmile...
[05:58] ---
    The unit you've used ever since
    you started playing Vanguard.
[06:05] ---
    That unit lost to me.
[06:07] ---
    Altmile attacks your Vanguard!
[06:11] ---
    Drive check!
[06:13] ---
    Heal trigger! I heal 1 damage point!
[06:17] ---
    Sky Noble Thrust!
[06:22] ---
    It's strange. Why are you
    so attached to Altmile?
[06:28] ---
    Do you project yourself
    onto that knight card?
[06:31] ---
    Or maybe you have a memory
    associated with it?
[06:35] ---
    Even if you do, what's the point?
[06:40] ---
    Just as you have your
    own way of doing things,
[06:43] ---
    I have my own way!
[06:46] ---
    Twin Sword attacks your Vanguard!
[06:53] ---
    You haven't changed at all.
[06:58] ---
    Unleash it. Jaw of the wolf
    that signals destruction.
[07:03] ---
    Ride!
[07:05] ---
    Mythic Beast, Fenrir!
[07:08] ---
    Stride Generation.
[07:12] ---
    Great Angel,
[07:15] ---
    Doom Brace!
[07:17] ---
    Stride skill! Soul-charge!
[07:21] ---
    Doom Brace's skill activates! Soul-blast!
[07:25] ---
    Two rear-guard units power up.
[07:28] ---
    And Soul-charge.
[07:30] ---
    On top of that, a skill is activated.
[07:33] ---
    I superior call Gleipnir!
[07:36] ---
    He powered up rear-guards
    with a G unit's skill.
[07:39] ---
    And then he called a Soul-blasted unit.
[07:43] ---
    His specialized tactic!
[07:47] ---
    You haven't changed at all.
[07:50] ---
    You're the same as when
    you lost to me last time.
[07:52] ---
    Gleipnir attacks Knight of Fragment!
[07:58] ---
    Vanguard, fencing, and duties
    related to you being an heir...
[08:04] ---
    You chose all of them again.
    You're trying to do everything.
[08:11] ---
    And as always, it leaves you
     in a half-baked state.
[08:21] ---
    Shinonome's wave of attacks explode!
[08:25] ---
    Kiba has 5 damage. His back is to the wall.
[08:31] ---
    He really is strong...
[08:34] ---
    Is Shion okay?
[08:37] ---
    It doesn't look like he's got an opening.
[08:39] ---
    What do you mean?
[08:41] ---
    His triggers keep getting wasted.
[08:45] ---
    Look. He's got three triggers
    in the Damage Zone.
[08:49] ---
    All of them came out
     during that last attack.
[08:54] ---
    Shion...
[08:56] ---
    Don't worry. He's been fighting
    with me a lot lately.
[09:00] ---
    The match isn't over yet!
[09:03] ---
    Generation Zone... release!
[09:09] ---
    Soaring combo attack!
    I grasp the infinite future!
[09:12] ---
    Stride Generation!
[09:23] ---
    Shrouded Divine Knight, Gablade!
[09:27] ---
    Altmile's stride skill!
[09:30] ---
    Twin Sword and Pir get +5000 power!
[09:33] ---
    I call Knight of Fragment!
[09:35] ---
    Pir's skill!
[09:37] ---
    Two units in the same column
    get +2000 power!
[09:43] ---
    After losing to you,
     I was getting ready to quit Vanguard.
[09:49] ---
    But I realized something.
[09:51] ---
    That was a mistake!
[09:54] ---
    Gablade attacks your Vanguard!
[10:11] ---
    Gablade attacks your Vanguard!
[10:14] ---
    Holy Fierce Blast!
[10:18] ---
    Perfect guard.
[10:20] ---
    He won't let an attack get through easily.
[10:23] ---
    That's 'cause he's seen a lot of
     Shion's fights.
[10:26] ---
    Triple drive!
[10:29] ---
    Dang it! He didn't draw a trigger!
[10:33] ---
    But...
[10:35] ---
    Pir boosts!
[10:36] ---
    Knight of Twin Sword attacks your Vanguard!
[10:40] ---
    Skill activated!
[10:41] ---
    I superior call Techgal!
[10:43] ---
    Pir's skill!
[10:45] ---
    Twin Sword and Pir get +2000 power!
[10:48] ---
    Twin Sword Cleave!
[10:52] ---
    All right!
[10:53] ---
    I don't like that guy.
[10:56] ---
    That jerk's smirking the whole time.
[11:01] ---
    Never wavering or hesitating, always calm...
[11:06] ---
    That's Shinonome's strength.
[11:09] ---
    Hey, you feel it, don't you?
[11:13] ---
    Trying to do everything
[11:16] ---
    is your ideal, but it's hard.
[11:21] ---
    As a fencer, as a Kiba with responsibilities,
[11:26] ---
    you're not getting the results you imagine.
[11:29] ---
    Am I wrong?
[11:32] ---
    You spare no effort, so of course
    there are certain results,
[11:38] ---
    but they're a far cry from
    the level you desire.
[11:45] ---
    Knight of Fragment attacks your Vanguard!
[11:48] ---
    Techgal's skill activates!
[11:50] ---
    Fragment gets +8000 power!
[11:53] ---
    Guard!
[11:54] ---
    You try to have everything.
[11:57] ---
    But in doing so, you end up with nothing.
[12:01] ---
    That's the major paradox that you bear.
[12:05] ---
    You strive for a higher peak than anyone.
[12:08] ---
    That's who you are.
[12:10] ---
    It's a tragedy that happens
    because you aim for perfection.
[12:18] ---
    It was Kiba's turn,
    and he tried to use it to recover,
[12:22] ---
    but he only managed to
    inflict 1 damage.
[12:26] ---
    But that's Shinonome for you.
[12:28] ---
    I think it's safe to say that
    his victory is in the bag.
[12:33] ---
    Generation Zone... release!
[12:37] ---
    Deliver final judgment in the
    world of evening twilight!
[12:42] ---
    Stride Generation!
[12:53] ---
    Mythical Destroyer Beast,
[12:56] ---
    Vanargandr!
[12:59] ---
    Stride skill! Soul-charge!
[13:02] ---
    Leyding's skill. It moves to the Soul.
[13:06] ---
    Vanargandr's skill.
[13:16] ---
    What was that?
[13:18] ---
    A revelation from the heavens.
[13:22] ---
    Vanargandr's skill! Superior call!
[13:27] ---
    I can see people's futures.
[13:34] ---
    I've had that power ever since I was a kid.
[13:41] ---
    What is he talkin' about?
[13:44] ---
    That's interesting.
[13:47] ---
    He can see the future.
     That's how he can be so calm.
[13:52] ---
    No wonder.
[13:58] ---
    I see. Understood.
[14:01] ---
    Phone call from association
    headquarters. I'll take it.
[14:09] ---
    Is that a bluff?
[14:11] ---
    Or are you saying you can
    see me losing this match?
[14:16] ---
    I can see your future.
[14:21] ---
    You'll never find a fundamental solution,
[14:24] ---
    but just continue down that path,
    feeling vaguely anxious.
[14:29] ---
    You stubbornly refuse to change...
[14:35] ---
    ...and at the end of that path
    you're going down...
[14:39] ---
    ...is a disease that will result in death.
[14:41] ---
    Despair is waiting for you.
[14:44] ---
    Your future is closed off by darkness.
[14:53] ---
    Yes!
[14:55] ---
    He survived the Vanguard's attack
     with a perfect guard!
[14:58] ---
    Drive check. Vanargandr's skill activates.
[15:03] ---
    But I'm going to follow the revelation
    of the heavens and change the future.
[15:07] ---
    What?!
[15:08] ---
    If he does that...
[15:11] ---
    Critical trigger triple.
[15:14] ---
    I give 19000 power and the
    3 criticals to Gleipnir.
[15:19] ---
    To Jormungandr,
    I give 20000 power and 2 criticals.
[15:22] ---
    Of course he's going to
    draw a trigger with that!
[15:26] ---
    What is that gamebreaking skill?!
[15:31] ---
    Vanguard, fencing, Kiba...
[15:36] ---
    You can't choose between them.
[15:38] ---
    That's your weakness. Your sin.
[15:43] ---
    And your punishment is despair.
[15:46] ---
    The overwhelming darkness that
    is fear is going to attack you.
[15:51] ---
    And yet there is nothing to fear,
    because I'm going to save you.
[15:56] ---
    The darkness will be turned
    into illuminating light.
[15:58] ---
    Shion Kiba, I'll give you a future.
[16:06] ---
    So for right now,
    be embraced by the darkness,
[16:10] ---
    and quietly nod off!
[16:20] ---
    Shion!
[16:32] ---
    Perfect guard.
[16:36] ---
    You'll give me a future? Get stuffed!
[16:42] ---
    Gleipnir attacks.
[16:44] ---
    Guard! Intercept!
[16:47] ---
    You said you would enjoy this fight.
[16:50] ---
    I feel the same.
[16:53] ---
    But we think differently.
[16:56] ---
    I want to share the enjoyment
    of this fight with everyone.
[17:01] ---
    I want my teammates and friends
    to enjoy it together with me.
[17:07] ---
    That's the origin of my Vanguard!
[17:14] ---
    And it's the light
[17:16] ---
    that runs through my Vanguard,
    that connects what I've gained.
[17:21] ---
    That is my joy.
[17:24] ---
    I believe in my own possibilities!
[17:27] ---
    My future isn't just the future
    that you're looking at!
[17:30] ---
    I have as many futures as I do possibilities!
[17:34] ---
    And I'm going to a future that
    you definitely can't see!
[17:42] ---
    Unlimited Soaring!
    Give me a faraway future!
[17:46] ---
    Stride Generation!
[18:00] ---
    Aerial Divine Knight, Altmile!
[18:11] ---
    The darkness is gone!
[18:13] ---
    A warm, kind light!
[18:15] ---
    Wow! The power of Shion's imagination!
[18:19] ---
    Not too shabby!
[18:23] ---
    The Stride Force is suddenly spiking!
[18:26] ---
    We've never seen a value like this!
[18:29] ---
    Even the conversion efficiency
    is up. Incredible.
[18:32] ---
    The Depend Card is letting out
     a whoop of joy.
[18:39] ---
    When I lost against you,
    I realized what my weakness was.
[18:44] ---
    And then...
[18:45] ---
    ...I turned it into my strength!
[18:49] ---
    Stride Skill!
[18:50] ---
    Techgal and Pir get +5000 power!
[18:53] ---
    Aerial Divine Knight, Altmile's skill!
[18:56] ---
    The front-row units get +3000 power!
[19:00] ---
    And then I superior call Twin Sword!
[19:02] ---
    Pir's skill activates!
[19:04] ---
    The units in the same column get +2000 power!
[19:07] ---
    Techgal moves!
[19:10] ---
    I call Pir!
[19:11] ---
    Milllius's skill! It moves to the Soul.
[19:15] ---
    I superior call Benizel!
[19:17] ---
    Pir's skill activates!
[19:18] ---
    The units in the same column get +2000 power!
[19:22] ---
    Whoa...
[19:24] ---
    The power of the two Pir units
    keeps rising because of their skills!
[19:28] ---
    Every time he calls a grade 2,
    the skill activates. And he's still going!
[19:32] ---
    Benizel's skill!
[19:35] ---
    I superior call Techgal!
[19:37] ---
    Pir's skill!
[19:38] ---
    +2000 power!
[19:41] ---
    Techgal attacks your Vanguard!
[19:48] ---
    You think you're superior
[19:50] ---
    as you look down on people,
    but there's a future you can't see!
[19:55] ---
    If you open your heart and hold hands,
    your world expands with no end in sight.
[20:01] ---
    Even a future that you can't see alone
    becomes visible when you're with everyone.
[20:05] ---
    I'm going to grasp that future,
    together with Altmile!
[20:13] ---
    That's my Vanguard!
[20:32] ---
    6 d-damage!
[20:34] ---
    S-S-Somehow, Kiba won!
[20:37] ---
    Shinonome, the absolute ace
    of Demise, has been defeated.
[20:44] ---
    Yeah!
[20:45] ---
    He did it!
[20:47] ---
    I knew he would!
[20:48] ---
    Shion held on through Shinonome's attack
     with all the drawn triggers
[20:51] ---
    and won, even though he
    didn't draw any triggers!
[20:54] ---
    Vanguard really is awesome!
[21:09] ---
    By beating me, you've grasped a new future.
[21:13] ---
    A future that's unknowable to me.
[21:18] ---
    In that case, fly higher, Shion Kiba.
[21:23] ---
    If your wings are going to break,
     it's more fun that way.
[21:34] ---
    Weakness is a sin.
[21:36] ---
    Shouma Shinonome...
    His strength was false, too.
[21:42] ---
    Then I'll show them!
[21:45] ---
    United Sanctuary is right!
    I'll show them our true strength!
[21:49] ---
    I'll beat Chrono Shindou...
[23:49] ---
    Depend Card...
[23:57] ---
    Shion, you were great!
    Complete victory against Shinonome!
[24:01] ---
    Thank you. It's because
    of you and Chrono, Tokoha.
[24:04] ---
    Nah, it's your own ability.
[24:07] ---
    That was seriously moving!
[24:08] ---
    So, you're next, Chrono!
[24:11] ---
    We set the stage,
    so now we're counting on you!
[24:14] ---
    Yeah, count on it!
[24:16] ---
    But what's the crowd getting so noisy about?
[24:19] ---
    Now that you mention it...
SIGN    Stride Force
[24:20] ---
    What's happening?
