[00:00] ---
    During my final fight in the second stage,
[00:04] ---
    he was a complete disappointment,
[00:08] ---
    but it seems he has improved a little.
[00:15] ---
    He's managed to get to the finals,
[00:19] ---
    and now stands before me.
[00:23] ---
    Show me if you're the vessel
    I've been searching for.

[00:27] ---
    I'll take the real Kazumi back!
[00:30] ---
    And I'll stand on the same stage as him
    and defeat him!
[00:34] ---
    I'll put everything I have into this fight
[00:37] ---
    in order to do that!
[02:13] ---
    First-or-last, Rock, Paper, Scissors.
[02:20] ---
    He won?
[02:22] ---
    Kazumi Onimaru will go first,
    and Kazuma Shouji second.

[02:29] ---
    Kazumi Onimaru was
[02:32] ---
    annoyingly good at Rock, Paper, Scissors.
[02:37] ---
    I see. So it seems.
[02:43] ---
    He really is a different person, isn't he?
[02:47] ---
    This guy is...
[02:48] ---
    It's about to begin!
[02:51] ---
    This match has the
    championship riding on it!

[02:54] ---
    Stand Up!
[02:55] ---
    Vanguard!
SIGN    TURN 49 Battle of the Brothers
[03:03] ---
    Ride!
[03:05] ---
    Stealth Dragon, Seizui!
[03:07] ---
    Ride!
[03:08] ---
    Dragwizard, Knies!
[03:13] ---
    Hey!
[03:15] ---
    What does "Ride" mean?
[03:20] ---
    Let's see...
[03:22] ---
    It means to make a Grade 0
    grow up to be a Grade 1, I guess.

[03:26] ---
    Grow up? They're children becoming adults?
[03:31] ---
    If you look at it that way, a Grade 1
    might be about the same age as us!

[03:36] ---
    Wow...
[03:44] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Knies!
[03:48] ---
    We've finally down to the last fights!
[03:51] ---
    If Kazuma Shouji wins here,
    Team Striders will be victorious,

[03:55] ---
    and will be the champions
    of this year's U20!

[03:58] ---
    This is Kazuma Shouji's biggest fight yet!
[04:01] ---
    However, his opponent is none other than
    last year's champion!

[04:04] ---
    A fighter with no losses this year!
[04:07] ---
    Kazumi Onimaru, himself!
[04:10] ---
    - Ride!
    - Now...
[04:11] ---
    - Call! Attack Vanguard!
    - Who will win this fight!?
[04:14] ---
    The whole world is watching this fight!
[04:18] ---
    Hey! There's no need to let
    Chrono get a shot at him! Win this fight!
[04:24] ---
    Ride!
[04:26] ---
    Dragwizard, Liafail!
[04:28] ---
    Call!
[04:31] ---
    Why am I remembering things
    like this, now, of all times?

[04:36] ---
    Attack!
[04:38] ---
    Kazuma Shouji is attacking
    aggressively from the get-go!

[04:43] ---
    It's his specialty rush attack!
[04:47] ---
    No, that's not right...
[04:49] ---
    I hadn't forgotten. I'd tried to forget.
[04:54] ---
    Because I was always running away.
[04:57] ---
    Ride!
[05:00] ---
    Demon Stealth Dragon,
[05:04] ---
    Shiranui "Oboro".
[05:06] ---
    Call!
[05:08] ---
    Attack Morfessa!
[05:11] ---
    Guard!
[05:13] ---
    Attack Vanguard!
[05:16] ---
    Intercept!
[05:18] ---
    Alright! Morfessa is Grade 2!
[05:21] ---
    But it's treated as a Grade 1
    when in the Drop Zone.
[05:24] ---
    Yeah!
[05:25] ---
    Kazuma is steadily
    preparing to use his Ritual.
[05:31] ---
    However...
[05:34] ---
    Kazumi Onimaru is also
    attacking relentlessly!

[05:37] ---
    He got a Critical Trigger and now
    they both have the same damage!

[05:43] ---
    Right now, I'm the same as that stone.
[05:46] ---
    Plain white, with nothing on it!
[05:50] ---
    That's why...
[05:52] ---
    Everything's going to start here!
[05:58] ---
    Ride!
[06:00] ---
    Dragheart, Luard!
[06:07] ---
    Hey, so why does Grade 2
    always come after Grade 1?

[06:13] ---
    Can't a Grade 1 become a Grade 3?
[06:16] ---
    Why not?
[06:18] ---
    Even if you ask me...
[06:20] ---
    No one can go from a child to being
    an adult just like that, can they?

[06:23] ---
    That's why, little by little...
[06:27] ---
    They grow up little by little.
[06:30] ---
    That the reason I'm
    going to grasp the future!

[06:34] ---
    Generation Zone, Release!
[06:37] ---
    Stride Generation!
[06:43] ---
    Dragdriver, Luard!
[06:48] ---
    Stride Skill!
[06:50] ---
    Superior Call Black-winged
    Swordbreaker and Knies!
[06:56] ---
    Black-winged Swordbreaker's Skill!
[06:59] ---
    Draw one card!
[07:01] ---
    And also,
[07:02] ---
    good things happen when
    they grow up like that.

[07:07] ---
    As they grow up, by doing this,
[07:10] ---
    your Soul fills up.
[07:12] ---
    Your Soul?
[07:14] ---
    By growing up one Grade at a time,
    they accumulate experience.

[07:18] ---
    Experience becomes their power in a fight.
[07:20] ---
    And your Soul pays the cost for that.
[07:23] ---
    Soul Blast...
[07:28] ---
    Dragdriver, Luard's Ritual!
[07:31] ---
    Superior Call Knies!
[07:33] ---
    Add 6000 Power!
[07:35] ---
    Also Call Uscias!
[07:40] ---
    Listen,
[07:42] ---
    you can also turn Damage into power.
[07:45] ---
    There are things that you can't do
    without fighting and getting hurt.

[07:51] ---
    Counter Blast!
[07:53] ---
    Uscias' Ritual! Add 9000 Power!
[07:57] ---
    Attack Fuurai!
[08:03] ---
    He destroyed Fuurai!
[08:05] ---
    Every time its allies or a
    Dominated Unit attacks, it gains Power.
[08:10] ---
    It's a difficult opponent.
[08:12] ---
    It's a key card that supports
    Onimaru's Domination.
[08:16] ---
    That was a good decision.
[08:20] ---
    Dragdriver, Luard!
[08:22] ---
    Here we go!
[08:24] ---
    Take this!
[08:27] ---
    Perfect Guard!
[08:29] ---
    Triple Drive!
[08:32] ---
    Draw Trigger!
[08:33] ---
    The Power goes to Uscias!
[08:35] ---
    Draw one card!
[08:36] ---
    Second Check!
[08:38] ---
    Third Check!
[08:39] ---
    Heal Trigger!
[08:40] ---
    The Power goes to Uscias!
[08:42] ---
    Recover one Damage!
[08:45] ---
    Alright!
[08:46] ---
    Now Kazuma has seven
    Grade 1's in his Drop Zone!
[08:51] ---
    So what about the Drop Zone, then?
[08:53] ---
    Eh?
[08:54] ---
    Is it like a grave or Hell?
[08:59] ---
    Well...
[09:01] ---
    Your Vanguard is you right now.
[09:04] ---
    The G Zone is the future.
[09:06] ---
    So maybe that makes
    the Drop Zone the past!

[09:11] ---
    That's right!
    The me from back then is in here!

[09:16] ---
    The present, past and future...
[09:19] ---
    Everything exists on the playing field!
[09:23] ---
    Growing up, step by step;
    changing experience and damage into power,
[09:28] ---
    fighting with my friends...
[09:32] ---
    That's...
[09:34] ---
    Vanguard!
[09:47] ---
    The sixth turn has finished
    and the damage is four to two!

[09:51] ---
    Kazuma Shouij has the advantage!
[09:53] ---
    And he has already achieved Ritual 7!
[09:57] ---
    He used Grade Ones to
    guard and for his costs.

[10:00] ---
    It's a magnificent show of
    defense and offense.

[10:02] ---
    And at the same time, holding back
    from having too many Rear-guards.

[10:07] ---
    He's being cautious of Onimaru's
    upcoming Domination.

[10:12] ---
    Stride Generation!
[10:17] ---
    Enma Stealth Dragon, Maguntenbu!
[10:20] ---
    Stride Skill!
[10:23] ---
    Dominate Uscias!
[10:25] ---
    Add 4000 Power!
[10:27] ---
    Attack Vanguard!
[10:29] ---
    Madoi's Skill!
[10:31] ---
    Draw one card!
[10:32] ---
    Add 3000 Power to Uscias!
[10:39] ---
    Utsuroi's Skill...
[10:41] ---
    Utsuroi moves from the Drop Zone
    to the bottom of my deck.
[10:44] ---
    And I add another from
    my Drop Zone to my hand.
[10:46] ---
    His Perfect Guard is back in his hand!
[10:50] ---
    Call!
[10:53] ---
    Maguntenbu's Skill!
[10:56] ---
    Stand Uscias!
[10:58] ---
    Dominate, once more!
[11:00] ---
    Add 3000 Power!
[11:02] ---
    Attack!
[11:06] ---
    Activate Skill!
[11:09] ---
    Guard!
[11:15] ---
    Uscias retreats!
[11:19] ---
    Attack Vanguard!
[11:22] ---
    Fuurai's Skill! Add 2000 Power!
[11:24] ---
    Guard!
[11:28] ---
    I see...
[11:29] ---
    You're better now than you were earlier.
[11:31] ---
    I couldn't win against you back then.
    No matter how many times I tried!
[11:37] ---
    So why?
[11:39] ---
    Why are you being dominated by that guy?
[11:41] ---
    Screw that!
[11:43] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Maguntenbu.
[11:49] ---
    No Guard!
[11:51] ---
    Triple Drive!
[11:54] ---
    Second Check!
[11:56] ---
    Third Check!
[11:57] ---
    Critical Trigger!
[11:59] ---
    The Power goes to Fuurai!
[12:00] ---
    The Critical goes to Maguntenbu!
[12:06] ---
    If this is the end, it just means
    you were weak after all!
[12:11] ---
    Generation Guard!
[12:12] ---
    Ritual!
[12:14] ---
    Add 10,000 to the Shield!
[12:15] ---
    Kazuma Shouji endured it!
[12:18] ---
    But Kazumi Onimaru has used
    Domination to reverse the odds!

[12:22] ---
    He is pushing back with
    the damage now at five to four!

[12:28] ---
    Become strong, Kazuma.
[12:33] ---
    Please become strong so you'll never lose,
    no matter what.

[12:38] ---
    Nothing is pointless,
    however hard it may be.

[12:42] ---
    That will give you the strength to fight.
[12:46] ---
    Now it's my turn to teach you!
[12:50] ---
    Interesting.
[12:52] ---
    Show me then.
[12:54] ---
    Dragheart, Luard's Ritual!
[12:57] ---
    I can Stride without paying a Cost!
[13:00] ---
    Stride Generation!
[13:07] ---
    Awaken and exceed myself!
[13:10] ---
    The true power is in my hand!
[13:18] ---
    Dragstrider, Luard!
[13:23] ---
    Stride Skill!
[13:25] ---
    Superior Call Abyssal Owl and Belial Owl!
[13:29] ---
    I don't care about you guys!
[13:31] ---
    Don't get in my way!
[13:33] ---
    Alright!
[13:34] ---
    He destroyed Kazumi's Intercepters!
[13:35] ---
    Good job! Go, Kazuma!
[13:38] ---
    Attack Vanguard with Dragstrider, Luard!
[13:43] ---
    This is me and you from back then!
[13:47] ---
    Dragstrider, Luard's Ritual 7!
[13:50] ---
    Retreat two of my Rear-guards!
[13:54] ---
    And discard five cards from my hand!
[13:57] ---
    Five cards from his hand!?
[14:00] ---
    No way!
[14:01] ---
    He's got barely anything left!
    He'll be defenseless later!
[14:04] ---
    No!
[14:05] ---
    This is the perfect strategy!
[14:08] ---
    Because...
[14:09] ---
    Add 3000 Power for each card I discarded!
[14:12] ---
    I discarded two or more,
    so add one Critical!
[14:16] ---
    Add one Drive!
[14:17] ---
    My opponent cannot Guard with cards
    Grade one or above!
[14:21] ---
    Onimaru has at least two
    Perfect Guards in his hand.
[14:25] ---
    Attacks without such a restriction
    would be blocked for sure!
[14:29] ---
    This is the only chance for
    his attacks to go through!
[14:32] ---
    That's why Kazuma threw absolutely
    everything into this attack!
[14:36] ---
    He means to finish this!
[14:40] ---
    That's right!
[14:41] ---
    Vanguard and you both taught me!
[14:46] ---
    How to gain the power to move forward,
    no matter what happens!
[14:52] ---
    You did!
[14:53] ---
    What's this?
[14:55] ---
    What's this brightness of his
    that far exceeds the past?

[14:58] ---
    What drove him to become this strong?
[15:02] ---
    Rage?
[15:04] ---
    No, that's not it.
[15:06] ---
    I'll change the people we were
    before into my strength,
[15:10] ---
    and overcome my past!
[15:40] ---
    Kazuma!
[15:48] ---
    Kazuma.
[15:50] ---
    You've really become strong, haven't you?
[15:54] ---
    And in comparison, I...
[15:58] ---
    I couldn't do anything for you.
[16:03] ---
    I couldn't protect you
    from the Onimaru family.
[16:10] ---
    Far from it, I...
[16:12] ---
    Just by existing, I made you suffer!
[16:16] ---
    If I had never existed...
[16:18] ---
    If I...
[16:20] ---
    What are you-
[16:22] ---
    I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Kazuma!
[16:26] ---
    Goodbye...
[16:28] ---
    Hey!
[16:29] ---
    Hey!
[16:32] ---
    Just as you wish, disappear then, Kazumi!
[16:36] ---
    Stop it!
[16:38] ---
    Don't run away! Hey!
[16:40] ---
    Don't disappear on me!
[16:43] ---
    If you go away, how can I...
[16:46] ---
    How can I overcome the past me?
[16:49] ---
    Damn it! Open your eyes!
[16:52] ---
    It's useless!
[16:53] ---
    Guard!
[16:55] ---
    Generation Guard!
[16:57] ---
    Secret Message Stealth Hermit,
    Abudataishi!
[16:59] ---
    Add 5000 to the Shield with a Skill!
[17:02] ---
    And Generation Guard!
[17:04] ---
    Rikudo Stealth Dragon, Gehourakan!
[17:07] ---
    Dominate Knies!
[17:11] ---
    Two Generation Guards in a row!
[17:14] ---
    And the Dominated Unit
    also joins Kazumi's defense!

[17:18] ---
    Kazuma Shouji
[17:20] ---
    must get three Triggers
    from his four Drives,

[17:24] ---
    or he won't be able to
    overcome Onimaru's Guard!

[17:28] ---
    Quadruple Drive!
[17:31] ---
    Critical Trigger!
[17:32] ---
    All of its effects go to Dragstrider!
[17:35] ---
    Second Check!
[17:37] ---
    Third Check!
[17:39] ---
    Critical Trigger!
[17:40] ---
    Everything goes to Dragstrider!
[17:42] ---
    Just one more, Kazuma!
[17:44] ---
    Final Check!
[17:46] ---
    He didn't make it!
[17:48] ---
    The attack he poured everything into
[17:51] ---
    has been blocked!
[17:56] ---
    Brothers' hearts that
    care for each other...
[17:59] ---
    I never expected it to
    break through my domination.
[18:04] ---
    You've showed me,
[18:06] ---
    Kazuma Shouji.
[18:08] ---
    You've showed me your potential.
[18:14] ---
    I'm sorry.
[18:16] ---
    It seems I've underestimated you.
[18:20] ---
    I was too soft on you!
[18:22] ---
    Shiranui's Skill!
[18:24] ---
    Make my opponent Superior Call
    one Unit from their Drop Zone!
[18:32] ---
    That's awful!
[18:33] ---
    To revive a friend who has used up all
    of their power and dominate them...
[18:37] ---
    Geez! What a dirty skill!
[18:41] ---
    Stride Generation!
[18:45] ---
    Evil-eye Hades Emperor, Shiranui "Mukuro"!
[18:51] ---
    You were magnificent.
[18:53] ---
    You really did have more
    potential than I'd hoped for.
[18:58] ---
    And that's why I'll use the last vestiges
    of the strength of the dead!
[19:03] ---
    Stride Skill!
[19:05] ---
    Domination!
[19:13] ---
    Come forth!
[19:15] ---
    He's going to Dominate Kazuma's Vanguard!
[19:18] ---
    Evil-eye Hades Emperor,
    Shiranui "Mukuro"'s Skill!
[19:28] ---
    Dominate his Vanguard!
[19:37] ---
    Twin Drive!
[19:43] ---
    Critical Trigger!
[19:44] ---
    All of its effects go to Utsuroi!
[19:55] ---
    Can Kazuma Shouji
    possibly survive this turn?!

[20:01] ---
    In his previous turn, Shouji put
    everything into an all-out attack.

[20:07] ---
    And even now,
    he's fighting without giving up.

[20:10] ---
    Open your eyes!
[20:12] ---
    It's useless!
[20:19] ---
    No Guard!
[20:22] ---
    That attitude is worthy of respect
    as a Vanguard Fighter.

[20:28] ---
    Triple Drive!
[20:33] ---
    I...
[20:35] ---
    I tried to get over it all.
[20:38] ---
    I made a deck, and opened
    the door of a card shop.

[20:43] ---
    And then...
[20:44] ---
    a goofy guy with twirly hair...
[20:49] ---
    Again?
[20:51] ---
    Hey, wait!
    The fight's not over yet!

[20:54] ---
    My loss is inevitable.
    There's no point in playing anymore.

[21:00] ---
    But you should try until the very end!
[21:03] ---
    It's no time to give up!
[21:05] ---
    You gotta believe in your possibilities!
[21:09] ---
    I've gotta believe...huh?
[21:18] ---
    I won't give up until the end!
[21:21] ---
    Never again!
[21:25] ---
    What's the benefit in that?
[21:27] ---
    Tell me, what's the benefit in that?
[21:31] ---
    Tell me!
[21:32] ---
    Tell me!
[21:34] ---
    That all makes me who I am.
[21:37] ---
    That's why...
[21:38] ---
    I won't throw it away!
[22:00] ---
    Kazuma!
[22:01] ---
    Kazuma!
[22:03] ---
    Kazuma!
[23:55] ---
    The first time I went to Capital Two,
    I said this:
[24:00] ---
    "Hey, enough of that."
[24:02] ---
    "I've heard all of that before."
    "I've heard that too."
[24:07] ---
    "Enough with all the settings."
[24:11] ---
    I kept turning away like that.
[24:14] ---
    I was so caught up in
    the fact that I couldn't win.
[24:18] ---
    So like you did for me then,
SIGN    TURN 50 Entrusted Wishes
