[00:01] ---
    Now, show me the world I truly desire!
[00:12] ---
    Stride Generation!
[00:21] ---
    Arbiters...
[00:24] ---
    It is time for judgment.
[00:28] ---
    As your fates are intertwined,
[00:31] ---
    you have been chosen
    to bear the responsibility
[00:35] ---
    of breaking the shackles of imagination.
[00:39] ---
    There shall be five fights
    that lead the way to destiny.
[00:42] ---
    When all of them are determined,
[00:45] ---
    the truth of the universe
    will decide on the ideal future.
[02:34] ---
    A mysterious light has suddenly appeared
     and is gradually expanding!
[02:39] ---
    Whether the people who were stuck inside
    are safe or not is unknown.
[02:54] ---
    We are... Trinity Dragon.
[03:10] ---
    So they have broken through my imagination
[03:14] ---
    and awakened.
[03:17] ---
    The gate is already open.
[03:19] ---
    This "Tower of Light" is a space that
    leads to the truth of the universe.
[03:25] ---
    If our thoughts get through, even once,
[03:27] ---
    the truth will recognize the Stride Gate
[03:30] ---
    and the perfect future will be complete.
[03:34] ---
    Come.
[03:36] ---
    We shall settle fate,
[03:38] ---
    and with this hand, I will decide the future.

[03:48] ---
    I see.
[03:49] ---
    So this is what Ryuzu Myoujin is after.
[03:54] ---
    All the people who were touched by
    the light of the Stride Gate
[03:58] ---
    have probably been captured by an imaginary
    world that materializes the future they want.
[04:03] ---
    That source of that is the
    planet Cray's future potential.
[04:08] ---
    In other words, all the life force
    of everything that lives on Cray.
[04:12] ---
    The planet's life is
     being snatched from the roots
[04:15] ---
    and converted into a Stride Gate
[04:18] ---
    sustained by a gigantic imaginary world.
[04:21] ---
    At this rate, the Stride Gate
    will eventually engulf the entire world.
[04:27] ---
    Then the world will be swallowed up
[04:30] ---
    by the ideal that Ryuzu imagined.
[04:33] ---
    He hated violence.
[04:35] ---
    I'm sure whatever disagrees with his thoughts
    will be erased from his imaginary world.
[04:42] ---
    It's the completion of the quietest
    world takeover in history.
[04:48] ---
    The heck with that!
[04:50] ---
    He'd do that, even though it means
    puttin' all life on Cray at risk?!
[04:54] ---
    Acting on his own, even though it means
    the destruction of another world?
[04:58] ---
    Not if I can help it!
[05:00] ---
    I don't want to take back a fake like that!
[05:06] ---
    Both the planet Cray and our world
    are inside of that tower of light.
[05:11] ---
    The Stride Force has intertwined
    the space-time of both worlds.
[05:15] ---
    I'm sure your imaginations are reflected
    there in extremely realistic forms.
[05:22] ---
    Anything can happen.
[05:26] ---
    It seems this is as far...
[05:30] ---
    ...as my support can go.
[05:42] ---
    Did Mr. Ibuki really go on ahead by himself?
[05:49] ---
    I thought he was gonna leave it to me!
[05:52] ---
    In the end...
[05:54] ---
    ...he acted on his own again.
[06:17] ---
    Hey! Wake up!
[06:39] ---
    It's for the sake of the fluctuations
    I desire, Mr. Ibuki.
[06:44] ---
    I put a spell on it so that
    only you couldn't dream.
[06:53] ---
    Struggle to the best of your ability...
[06:57] ---
    But you can't draw a trigger.
[07:15] ---
    Shinonome, huh?
[07:17] ---
    You can't do a thing with him.
[07:21] ---
    Ryuzu Myoujin!
[07:24] ---
    One who is unqualified would challenge me?
[07:28] ---
    You're just a sinner.
[07:31] ---
    There's no way the truth of the universe
    would entrust things
[07:35] ---
    to someone who's only acted
    to escape a stigma.
[07:38] ---
    Enough of your tedious talk!
    I'm going to settle this!
[07:42] ---
    Your mad ambitions end here!
[07:46] ---
    Or would you run away? The one who
    claims he's trying to save the world?
[07:53] ---
    Hush your mouth, stripling.
[07:59] ---
    You can amuse me until the arbiters come.
[08:04] ---
    I'm going to administer punishment
[08:07] ---
    to one who wasn't chosen to judge,
     yet is standing here so arrogantly.
[08:10] ---
    It is you who shall be punished,
    Ryuzu Myoujin.
[08:16] ---
    Stand up the Vanguard!
[08:16] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[08:37] ---
    What's that?!
[08:39] ---
    Neon Messiah!
[08:42] ---
    Ride!
[08:43] ---
    Voltaro Idea-drone!
[08:46] ---
    I ride Asleep Messiah!
[08:50] ---
    I call Destiny Dealer.
[08:53] ---
    Attack!
[08:56] ---
    Guard!
[09:00] ---
    Mr. Ibuki's unit and Ryuzu's...?!
[09:04] ---
    The fight inside has begun!
[09:06] ---
    That image has appeared!
[09:08] ---
    Let's hurry!
[09:13] ---
    This is the Stride Gate...
[09:16] ---
    Luna is deep inside of here.
[09:19] ---
    The Company henchmen, too.
[09:21] ---
    Let's settle things with everyone
    we've come across thus far.
[09:24] ---
    They're all gonna get their just deserts!
[09:27] ---
    Let's all come back here together,
    no matter what.
[09:32] ---
    Including Luna and Ibuki,
[09:36] ---
    let's all take back a time
    that'll let us play Vanguard like normal!
[09:41] ---
    Definitely.
[09:42] ---
    That's a promise.
[09:46] ---
    Let's go!
[10:26] ---
    Satoru Enishi...
[10:47] ---
    Luna!
[10:55] ---
    Even though you're a villain,
[10:57] ---
    you have my respect for coming here
    instead of running away.
[11:01] ---
    Hiroki...
[11:03] ---
    If you lose here,
[11:05] ---
    the truth of the universe will approve
    of the Stride Gate's existence!
[11:12] ---
    The excellent world that Ryuzu created
    is almost complete!
[11:17] ---
    I'm gonna punish you, meddling villain!
[11:25] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[12:23] ---
    Hi. You came.
[12:47] ---
    What the heck is goin' on here?
    Has judgment started for everyone?
[12:53] ---
    Stride Generation!
[12:56] ---
    Golden Knight of Incandescence, Ebraucus!
[13:03] ---
    Ebraucus's skill!
[13:05] ---
    I look at the top two cards of my deck,
[13:07] ---
    and superior call Perimore!
[13:10] ---
    Perimore's skill!
[13:12] ---
    I look at the top three cards of my deck,
[13:14] ---
    and superior call Sunshine Knight, Jeffrey to the same column!
[13:18] ---
    Gurguit's Stride Skill!
[13:21] ---
    I look at the top four cards of my deck
[13:24] ---
    and superior call Player of the
    Holy Pipe, Gerrie! +2000 power!
[13:29] ---
    Gerrie's Unite!
[13:31] ---
    Gerrie gets another +3000 power!
[13:35] ---
    You're so annoying.
[13:38] ---
    I attack Grandrifter!
[13:42] ---
    No guard!
[13:47] ---
    You're a pest!
[13:48] ---
    Of course we're gonna have the future
    where everyone in the world can be happy!
[13:53] ---
    I don't believe in an
    artificial future like that!
[13:58] ---
    Triple drive!
[14:01] ---
    Critical trigger!
[14:03] ---
    I give the power to Perimore,
[14:06] ---
    and the extra critical to Ebraucus!
[14:12] ---
    Hiroki, do you really think
    a future like that is right?
[14:17] ---
    Guard!
[14:21] ---
    Of course.
[14:23] ---
    Because I'm a member of the Company, too!
[14:27] ---
    Stride Generation!
[14:30] ---
    Super Cosmic Hero, X-gallop!
[14:34] ---
    Stride skill!
[14:36] ---
    I give X-gallop +4000 power!
[14:40] ---
    This imaginary world is awesome, isn't it?
[14:44] ---
    All wishes come true!
[14:49] ---
    The bad guys...
[14:53] ---
    ...and worthless hangers-on...
[14:57] ---
    ...will all...
[15:00] ---
    ...will all disappear!
[15:03] ---
    I call Grandrifter!
[15:06] ---
    I give that and my Vanguard +4000 power!
[15:09] ---
    I call Grandvicle!
[15:12] ---
    Burst! +4000 power!
[15:14] ---
    I call Grandmantle!
[15:17] ---
    Burst! +4000 power!
[15:20] ---
    I rest Grandlady and activate her skill!
[15:23] ---
    My Vanguard and Grandmantle
    both get +4000 power!
[15:28] ---
    The same skill, one more time!
[15:34] ---
    What do you think of that?! Look!
[15:36] ---
    Now my Vanguard has 50000 power!
[15:38] ---
    You're out of your league!
[15:42] ---
    X-gallop attacks your Vanguard!
[15:45] ---
    Drive plus one!
[15:48] ---
    I'm in the right!
[15:50] ---
    That's why I can make a righteous world!
[15:59] ---
    This is my justice future!
[16:08] ---
    Perfect guard!
[16:11] ---
    A long time ago...
[16:13] ---
    ...I thought the same way you did.
[16:17] ---
    I thought if I became strong,
    people would acknowledge me.
[16:20] ---
    I thought I could find a place to belong
    and I wouldn't be afraid of anything.
[16:25] ---
    But I was wrong.
[16:28] ---
    I really just wanted to run away
    from my weak self.
[16:32] ---
    I couldn't do anything,
    so I wanted to throw myself away.
[16:35] ---
    I was just clinging to a powerful force.
[16:41] ---
    Tell me, Hiroki,
    is this really what you want?
[16:45] ---
    Wh-what are you...?!
[16:48] ---
    Is this really the world that you desire?
[16:53] ---
    Hiroki...
[16:57] ---
    Whatever! It doesn't matter!
[17:01] ---
    Quadruple drive!
[17:04] ---
    Draw trigger!
[17:06] ---
    I give the power to Grandmantle.
[17:09] ---
    Critical trigger!
[17:10] ---
    I give all of the effects to Grandrifter!
[17:14] ---
    If you sleep, you can be happy!
[17:17] ---
    And yet, why...
[17:20] ---
    Why do I have this agonizing feeling?!
[17:24] ---
    Isn't this good enough?!
[17:26] ---
    Grandmantle!
[17:31] ---
    Gurguit's skill activated!
[17:33] ---
    I look at the top four cards of my deck,
[17:36] ---
    and call Gorboduc to the Guardian Circle!
[17:40] ---
    Plus guard and intercept!
[17:50] ---
    Grandrifter!
[17:55] ---
    If everyone would just go to sleep,
    it could all come true!
[17:59] ---
    Generation Guard!
[18:02] ---
    Golden Beast, Sleimy Flare!
[18:05] ---
    Skill activated!
[18:07] ---
    I put Gorboduc on the bottom of my deck.
[18:09] ---
    I look at the top four cards of my deck,
[18:11] ---
    then call Curable Angel and Holy Mage, Pwyll!
[18:23] ---
    I saw the perfect future, too.
[18:28] ---
    It made me incredibly happy.
[18:33] ---
    Chrono, Shion, Tokoha,
    and everyone else was there.
[18:40] ---
    In that world, none of my past had happened.
[18:45] ---
    The time I was all alone,
    the time I lost my way...
[18:51] ---
    ...the time I was miserable... All gone.
[19:15] ---
    But you mustn't forget things like that,
    no matter how hard it is.
[19:21] ---
    Without all that stuff,
    meeting Chrono and the others,
[19:25] ---
    who I am now,
    the future I want to grasp...
[19:29] ---
    ...none of it has any meaning!
[19:34] ---
    Stride Generation!
[19:39] ---
    Golden Dragon, Glorious Reigning Dragon!
[19:44] ---
    Stride skill!
[19:45] ---
    I superior call
    Knight of the Remaining Sun, Henrinus!
[19:49] ---
    +2000 power!
[19:51] ---
    Henrinus's skill!
[19:52] ---
    I look at the top three cards of my deck,
     and superior call Jago!
[19:57] ---
    Both get +3000 power!
[20:00] ---
    I call Gerrie!
[20:01] ---
    Unite! +3000 power!
[20:08] ---
    Vanguard is about bonds.
[20:10] ---
    They taught me that, the people
    who mean the most to me.
[20:18] ---
    Jago attacks!
[20:21] ---
    Guard!
[20:22] ---
    Henrinus!
[20:24] ---
    S-Stay back!
[20:27] ---
    Glorious attacks!
[20:29] ---
    Glorious's Unite!
[20:31] ---
    I put two rear-guards
    on the bottom of my deck,
[20:34] ---
    look at the top seven cards
    of the deck,
[20:36] ---
    and superior call the same number of units
    that are face up in the G Zone!
[20:40] ---
    Henrinus's skill!
[20:42] ---
    I look at the top three cards of my deck,
     and superior call Gorboduc!
[20:46] ---
    Each of them get +3000 power!
[20:53] ---
    Perfect guard!
[20:58] ---
    Triple drive!
[21:00] ---
    Critical trigger!
[21:02] ---
    I give all of the effects to Gurguit!
[21:07] ---
    I attack your Vanguard!
[21:11] ---
    Even if it's hard... Even if it's painful...
[21:13] ---
    ...the bonds formed through Vanguard
    will support you!
[21:19] ---
    Hiroki, even with you.
[21:26] ---
    Hiroki...
[21:29] ---
    I want to be your friend.
[21:35] ---
    Not in a dream. With the real you.
[23:58] ---
    I even saw it in a dream.
    The perfect future is almost here.
[24:03] ---
    I won't let that happen!
[24:05] ---
    You aren't even qualified to
    be an arbiter. What can you do?
[24:10] ---
    Pretending to be brave... That's pathetic.
[24:13] ---
    I'm well aware of that!
[24:15] ---
    This is the opportunity to atone
    that Vanguard has given me!
[24:20] ---
    I swear I'll stop you!
