**[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?
