[00:09] ---
    The truth of the universe chose you?
[00:13] ---
    Why?!
[00:16] ---
    I think you believe in the power of
    the imagination less than anyone.
[00:25] ---
    By the way, Ryuzu,
[00:27] ---
    what kind of world do you wish for?
[02:31] ---
    The energy influx from
    the planet Cray has stopped?
[02:36] ---
    The Stride Gate system has
    begun to self-destruct...
[02:41] ---
    Is the power pumped from the planet Cray
    trying to be returned?
[02:56] ---
    You're right, Chrono.
[03:00] ---
    When did it begin?
[03:02] ---
    Trying to save the world
    with the power of imagination...
[03:06] ---
    But even though I dreamed of a world
    without pain and violence...
[03:12] ---
    ...in actuality, I didn't balk
    at using violence as a method.
[03:17] ---
    I was no better.
[03:19] ---
    I didn't have faith in it myself.
[03:23] ---
    Ryuzu...
[03:25] ---
    You win, Chrono.
[03:32] ---
    The Zodiac Time Beasts are released.
[03:40] ---
    This space will also be destroyed
    in a matter of moments.
[03:44] ---
    Ryuzu!
[03:48] ---
    My fate is tied to this Stride Gate.
[03:53] ---
    I have made many sacrifices to get here.
[03:57] ---
    I'm not allowed to go back.
[04:01] ---
    Gimme a break!
[04:06] ---
    I'm not gonna let you get away like this!
[04:09] ---
    Even your future isn't over yet!
[04:19] ---
    Chrono...
[04:21] ---
    If I had met you back when
[04:25] ---
    this had been my true form...
[04:28] ---
    Ryuzu!
[04:30] ---
    I fought and lost.
[04:33] ---
    I have no regrets!
[04:35] ---
    Along with my future and
    everything that I sought!
[05:28] ---
    Judgment has been rendered.
[05:34] ---
    The truth of the universe decreed his future.
[05:38] ---
    A future to walk together with people,
    to experience suffering and indecision together...
[05:43] ---
    A future to seize his own path once more...
[05:53] ---
    Thank you, Chrono!
[05:55] ---
    Because of you,
[05:57] ---
    we can also return
    to the world where we belong.
[06:03] ---
    Are you goin' back to the planet Cray?
[06:06] ---
    Yeah.
[06:07] ---
    We also bear a big responsibility
    for what happened.
[06:11] ---
    I intend for all of us to have
    long discussions about it.
[06:14] ---
    "What do we want to do in the future?"
[06:18] ---
    "What should we do for that goal?"
[06:22] ---
    One more time, you know?
[06:27] ---
    I see.
[06:29] ---
    The Stride Gate will close soon.
[06:32] ---
    The power of fate that connects the two planets
    will also return to normal.
[06:38] ---
    And the space-time passage
    that formed between us will disappear.
[06:50] ---
    Are you leaving?
[06:51] ---
    Yeah.
[06:53] ---
    All of us are going
    to the planet Cray's "present."
[06:56] ---
    I...
[06:59] ---
    Ten years ago, that day...
[07:03] ---
    I'm going to return there once more
    and redo the ten years that I missed
[07:08] ---
    because of coming to this planet.
[07:11] ---
    Then, if I grow into my rightful form...
[07:16] ---
    ...I'm sure I'll come back to you!
[07:27] ---
    Yeah!
[07:31] ---
    You're right.
[07:36] ---
    Let's meet again in the world of imagination!
[07:56] ---
    You?!
[07:58] ---
    You were him?
[08:02] ---
    You spent ten years growing
    on the planet Cray,
[08:06] ---
    then came to me...
[08:16] ---
    Were you guiding me this whole time?
[08:21] ---
    So I'd make it this far?
[08:26] ---
    I hope that by sending you back,
[08:29] ---
    everything is back on the right track.
[08:32] ---
    Forever...
SIGN    Two months later
[08:51] ---
    Under the new administration
    of the Vanguard Association,
[08:55] ---
    I, Kouji Ibuki, have been
    appointed General Manager.
[08:59] ---
    I am inexperienced,
[09:01] ---
    but as one of the people who bears responsibility
    for the situation leading to today,
[09:05] ---
    I have taken on this important role.
[09:08] ---
    I intend to return to the
    Association's starting point
[09:11] ---
    of spreading the joy of Vanguard throughout the world,
SIGN    Absent
[09:14] ---
    and do everything I can
    to rebuild the organization.
[09:18] ---
    I'm asking you to help me.
[09:34] ---
    Thank you very much
[09:36] ---
    for taking compassionate steps.
[09:39] ---
    It's the result of looking for common ground.
[09:42] ---
    The official line is that the destruction
    of the branches were simply accidents,
[09:46] ---
    that no one is guilty for what happened.
[09:50] ---
    Still, that doesn't change
    the fact of what I did.
[09:57] ---
    What do you intend to do from now on?
[10:01] ---
    That's what I'll search for.
[10:03] ---
    I want to think a little bit
    about what I can do.
[10:08] ---
    I see.
[10:10] ---
    But that's a rough, solitary path.
[10:14] ---
    Yes.
[10:19] ---
    Putting that aside, do you
    have some free time today?
[10:23] ---
    Today?
[10:28] ---
    That'll do it!
[10:32] ---
    We've finally restored it this far.
[10:35] ---
    Somehow or other, we made it in time,
    before summer vacation.
[10:38] ---
    It's thanks to the help
    of you and the others, Tokoha!
[10:42] ---
    Tokoha...
[10:45] ---
    Bro!
[10:47] ---
    It's about that time.
[10:50] ---
    Right.
[10:52] ---
    I never imagined this would happen, you know?
[10:58] ---
    As part of the Association, he created this facility
    for children who have no relatives.
[11:05] ---
    It's ironic that in the end,
    it's going to support him.
[11:09] ---
    But ultimately, it's better that
    this child came here, isn't it?
[11:14] ---
    He's become Dragon Empire Branch's idol.
[11:18] ---
    He reminds me of when
    you were little, Tokoha.
[11:21] ---
    Oh, Bro!
[11:23] ---
    He's been given another chance
    to grasp the future.
[11:28] ---
    So I want us to support him
    as much as we can, too.
[11:32] ---
    We'll drill into him how much fun
    Vanguard is at Dragon Empire Branch.
[11:37] ---
    Right.
[11:38] ---
    Mamoru! Tokoha!
[11:40] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting!
[11:57] ---
    I accept your will, for as long as...
[12:01] ---
    ...the Kiba family exists.
[12:08] ---
    It's been a long road,
    hasn't it, Master Shion?
[12:13] ---
    I'm not used to that yet.
[12:16] ---
    You're no longer a "young master."
    You're the true Kiba inheritor.
[12:23] ---
    No. Everything begins now.
[12:28] ---
    It's almost time. Let's hurry.
[12:30] ---
    Everyone is probably waiting.
[12:33] ---
    Right.
[12:43] ---
    Iwakura...
[12:45] ---
    Yes.
[12:46] ---
    Have you ever done something
    without knowing the reason yourself?
[13:04] ---
    You beat me.
[13:07] ---
    All right. Where should I go next?
[13:15] ---
    It's only a little,
[13:17] ---
    but according to the tests,
    they're getting better.
[13:20] ---
    The Kiba Group has provided
    cutting-edge medical technology.
[13:24] ---
    Shion?
[13:27] ---
    The rest of my life may not be long enough
    to make amends for what I've done.
[13:31] ---
    But I won't give in or give up.
[13:35] ---
    I'll live my life achieving
    one thing at a time, doing what I can.
[13:47] ---
    I'll bear the burden with you.
[13:49] ---
    Luna...
[13:50] ---
    I made a mistake, same as you.
[13:53] ---
    I shouldn't have just stood close to you.
[13:56] ---
    Both of us should have looked
    for a path to move forward.
[14:00] ---
    Even if you scold or hate me,
    I am your friend, after all.
[14:05] ---
    Next time let's go together, Am.
[14:11] ---
    Right!
[14:23] ---
    I'm just about done with my work here.
    I'm going back home to Singapore next week.
[14:28] ---
    Ali did, again?
[14:30] ---
    That guy's hopeless.
[14:32] ---
    Yeah.
[14:33] ---
    I'll have to let you take care of that, Lee.
[14:37] ---
    What I obtained here will provide us
    with feedback for our technology.
[14:43] ---
    I've secured a couple of highly
    capable newcomers, too.
[14:47] ---
    Hello!
[14:49] ---
    Tokoha!
[14:53] ---
    I know how busy you must be,
[14:55] ---
    so thank you all so much for coming!
[14:59] ---
    Come on, there's no need to be so formal!
[15:03] ---
    For today, we're fighters first of all!
[15:06] ---
    You better show us a good time!
[15:09] ---
    We will!
[15:18] ---
    All of the branch chiefs, Mamoru, Ibuki...
[15:21] ---
    Fighters representing the Association
    are out in full force!
[15:25] ---
    And on the other hand,
    there are Kamui, Jaime,
[15:27] ---
    and other legendary fighters
    from all over the world!
[15:30] ---
    It's giving me the chills!
[15:36] ---
    No.
[15:37] ---
    I'm in no position to show my face
    at a place like this, not yet.
[15:45] ---
    Enishi!
[15:46] ---
    So you're participating
    here too, huh, Enishi?
[15:49] ---
    No, I, uh...
[15:50] ---
    Hey there!
[15:53] ---
    Welcome to Card Capital's Shop Tournament!
[15:59] ---
    By the way, where's our all-important host?
[16:02] ---
    He hasn't come yet.
[16:05] ---
    Sheesh. He's the one who proposed this,
    so what's he doin'?
[16:28] ---
    Crap! Is it that time already?!
[16:32] ---
    Mikuru! I'll see you later!
[16:35] ---
    See you later!
[16:40] ---
    So you can't come back yet?
[16:42] ---
    You're able to move a little now, aren't you?
[16:45] ---
    I don't know how I could
    face him after all this.
[16:50] ---
    In the end, I wasn't able
    to do anything for Chrono.
[16:56] ---
    I foisted everything off on him,
[16:57] ---
    and instead of protecting him,
    it's my fault he suffered hardships.
[17:03] ---
    I'm so sorry. That apology
    is for you and Chrono.
[17:08] ---
    If that's the way you feel,
    then say it to his face.
[17:15] ---
    Sheesh...
[17:17] ---
    It's like Chrono is more
    of an adult than you are.
[17:21] ---
    Did he say something about me?
[17:25] ---
    "I don't really know. If I can see him,
    I'll think about it then," is what he said.
[17:33] ---
    Hi!
[17:35] ---
    You're late!
[17:38] ---
    Jeez! What are you doing?!
[17:40] ---
    Everyone's been here for a long time already!
[17:42] ---
    Huh? But it isn't... time yet...
[17:45] ---
    I know, but we haven't been to a
    shop tournament in a long time,
[17:49] ---
    so we couldn't keep ourselves
    from coming too early!
[17:52] ---
    And we didn't think just waiting would be polite,
    so we helped out with this and that.
[17:56] ---
    So everything is set up.
[17:58] ---
    You owe us one for this, Chrono.
[18:01] ---
    Seriously?!
[18:03] ---
    Ratcheting up the suspense by
    making a late appearance, huh?
[18:06] ---
    Who do you think you are,
    famed swordsman Musashi Miyamoto?
[18:08] ---
    N-No!
[18:09] ---
    I guess Chrono sponsored a shop tournament
    a million light years too soon!
[18:14] ---
    I know, right?
[18:17] ---
    Even though I got here in time...
[18:19] ---
    Can we start now?
[18:21] ---
    A curly cup!
[18:23] ---
    It ain't a curly cup!
[18:26] ---
    Okay, okay.
[18:27] ---
    Everyone, remember.
    This is Chrono's first time.
[18:31] ---
    Okay, Chrono. This way.
[18:33] ---
    Sorry.
[18:48] ---
    Chrono! Over here!
[18:53] ---
    Um, finally, we can all
[18:57] ---
    play Vanguard like this.
[19:00] ---
    You really came through for this today,
[19:06] ---
    so I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
[19:09] ---
    And so, now... let's have a blast!
[19:14] ---
    Stand up...
[19:15] ---
    ...Vanguard!
[19:20] ---
    Mow him down!
[19:24] ---
    I feel it in my heart!
[19:32] ---
    We are Trinity Dragon!
[19:34] ---
    We are...
[19:36] ---
    ...the supreme team!
[19:38] ---
    We'll show you what we mean!
[19:43] ---
    Come and get it!
[19:48] ---
    We'll come back later!
[19:54] ---
    Ride!
[20:07] ---
    Security is the greatest enemy, Hiroki.
[20:10] ---
    I'll get you for that!
[20:20] ---
    Oh no, you won't!
[20:27] ---
    Do your worst!
[20:34] ---
    Reign supreme, my new sword!
[20:37] ---
    Knight of Heavenly Decree, Altmile!
[20:49] ---
    Blossom into a new future!
[20:51] ---
    Flower Maiden of Searing Heart, Ahsha!
[21:00] ---
    Open up a new world!
[21:03] ---
    Chronojet Dragon G!
[21:06] ---
    Here I go, Ibuki!
[21:08] ---
    Come, Chrono!
[22:52] ---
    I apologize for keeping you waiting so long,
[22:55] ---
    but all of you have been crowned with the honor
    of becoming Generation Masters during the G Quest,
[23:00] ---
    and today, I hope that you are up for the challenge
    of attaining a clan leader qualification.
[23:05] ---
    All of us are looking forward to seeing you
    push the envelope with Vanguard.
[23:12] ---
    Now, begin!
[23:18] ---
    Right now I want to do everything in my power
    to pull the Kiba Group together.
[23:22] ---
    I want to contribute to
    Vanguard in another way.
[23:28] ---
    I'm gonna study abroad next year, so pass.
[23:31] ---
    You'll take the challenge, right, Chrono?
[23:33] ---
    Good luck!
[23:41] ---
    Now more than ever, show me
    the answer I truly desire!
[23:52] ---
    He'll fail, huh?
