[00:03] ---
    No Guard!
[00:47] ---
    Did my Vanguard distort your destinies?
[00:53] ---
    Because I was weak...
[00:55] ---
    such horrible things happened
    to your comrades.
[01:00] ---
    No.
[01:01] ---
    We were trapped in our small world
[01:03] ---
    and tried to force others
    to recognize our strength.
[01:07] ---
    We chose wrongly.
[01:10] ---
    We could have chosen another path.
[01:12] ---
    We could have entered the wider world
    and gained a new freedom...
[01:17] ---
    Doing so together...
[01:26] ---
    I was the one who was weak.
[01:32] ---
    Your younger brother is still alive.
    He stands before you.

[01:37] ---
    Don't make the same mistake I did.
SIGN    TURN 52 Return
[02:24] ---
    Finally... Finally the moment has arrived!
[02:29] ---
    The U20 Championship's climax fight's
[02:34] ---
    winner is Chrono Shindou!
[02:42] ---
    Overcoming many trials
[02:44] ---
    and countless opponents,
    the men now standing above them all

[02:49] ---
    are Chrono Shindou,
    Kazumi Shouji and Taiyou Asukawa!

[02:54] ---
    Team Striders!
[02:57] ---
    Chrono!
[02:58] ---
    You did it, Shindou!
[03:00] ---
    Careful!
[03:23] ---
    - I was so nervous!
    - It was harder watching than playing!
[03:27] ---
    It's fine isn't it? We won!
[03:29] ---
    Your Vanguard...
[03:32] ---
    I have understood it.
[03:41] ---
    It's nothing like his highness,
    Gastille told me it was.
[03:46] ---
    Vanguard and our destinies...
[03:49] ---
    What is the truth?
    I must find out with my own eyes.
[03:54] ---
    You...
[03:56] ---
    My comrades were here.
[03:59] ---
    I thank you.
[04:13] ---
    I will return to Planet Cray.
[04:15] ---
    I won't try to apologize
    after all that's happened,
[04:18] ---
    but I will return your brother to you.
[04:21] ---
    Hey! Hold it together!
[04:23] ---
    Are you alright?
[04:25] ---
    Hey!
[04:34] ---
    Okay.
[04:55] ---
    Ma-kun...
[05:02] ---
    Don't say you'll disappear...
[05:07] ---
    Idiot.
[05:16] ---
    With this, the U20 Championship's
[05:20] ---
    fights have all ended.
[05:22] ---
    The winner is Team Striders!
[07:52] ---
    The finals were amazing, right?
[07:55] ---
    We should enter the U20 as well next year!
[07:59] ---
    Here goes! Ritual 7!
[08:02] ---
    GB8! I'm going to win this!
[08:06] ---
    I knew Gear Chronicle was the best!
[08:10] ---
    No way. Nubatama is!
[08:12] ---
    No one can beat the power of Domination!
[08:14] ---
    Gold Paladin trumps them all!
[08:18] ---
    Pre-tournament tension is good, too,
[08:20] ---
    but the feeling when
    it's over is exciting, isn't it!
[08:23] ---
    Everyone has started
    running towards their next goal.
[08:27] ---
    We have so many applications for
    mini tournaments and social events.
[08:32] ---
    Which means it's time to work,
    branch chief.
[08:35] ---
    Oh, well, you know I really need to
    check on things at the venue...
[08:40] ---
    Someone save me!
[08:41] ---
    Bind.
[08:43] ---
    What are you doing, Mamoru?
[08:49] ---
    We challenge you to a fight, Striders!
[08:52] ---
    Sure, sure. Next time, alright?
[08:55] ---
    Hey, don't be so mean, Kazuma!
[08:59] ---
    Wait just a little while, okay.
    I'll fight you.
[09:01] ---
    Alright! Way to go!
[09:03] ---
    I'll be going now, then.
[09:06] ---
    Okay, see you.
[09:10] ---
    Sorry for taking up your time
    when you only just got back, Aichi.
[09:14] ---
    That's alright. I'm still a student myself,
    so I can't give you a whole lot of advice,
[09:20] ---
    but I do want to support your dreams.
[09:23] ---
    Thank you!
[09:25] ---
    So what do I need to get to space?
[09:29] ---
    First, you'll need to
    be able to speak English.
[09:32] ---
    You'll also need to study
    natural sciences.
[09:34] ---
    Math and physics are obvious,
[09:37] ---
    but having a field that you're
    specialized in would be good, too.
[09:42] ---
    Unlike me,
    you'll actually be going into space,
[09:45] ---
    so you'll need the physical strength
    to withstand the training.
[09:48] ---
    Oh, and...
[09:50] ---
    It's alright!
[09:51] ---
    You'll be able to go to
    Planet Cray for sure!
[09:55] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[09:56] ---
    I'll do it!
[10:01] ---
    Kamui!
[10:02] ---
    W-What is it, all of a sudden?
[10:04] ---
    Please train us again!
    Teach us everything!
[10:08] ---
    We want to take
    first place in the next U20!
[10:12] ---
    We'll do our best!
[10:14] ---
    We can't stay weaker than
    Chrono and his team!
[10:18] ---
    Please!
[10:22] ---
    Alright! Start off with Rides!
[10:24] ---
    Then you'll do 10,000 Strides!
[10:27] ---
    Ride! Stride Generation!
[10:30] ---
    Ride! Stride Generation!
[10:42] ---
    A bit more to the right, Shion.
[10:44] ---
    - Okay.
    - Right here!
[10:46] ---
    And down...
[10:50] ---
    We're finally home.
[10:53] ---
    Yes.
[10:55] ---
    Thank you so much, Shion.
[10:57] ---
    We were able to rebuild the Fukuhara Vanguard
    club because you gave me courage that day.
[11:04] ---
    No, I was also
[11:06] ---
    able to get something back,
    thanks to you and Hashima.
[11:09] ---
    The most important thing to me.
[11:13] ---
    And it's not as if everything's over now.
[11:15] ---
    If anything,
    this is where it all starts for us.
[11:18] ---
    You're right. First, we have to get
    better so more members join and-
[11:24] ---
    Hashima!
[11:30] ---
    There's no sofa.
[11:31] ---
    Eh? It's still in our old club room...
[11:34] ---
    Hurry up and get it. Bring snacks, too.
[11:37] ---
    But Hashima, it's the
    second semester of your senior year.
[11:40] ---
    Shouldn't you be retiring?
[11:43] ---
    I'm free until I graduate
    and become a pro!
[11:46] ---
    I'll work you to the bone, slave.
[11:49] ---
    So hurry up and bring snacks!
[11:51] ---
    O-Okay!
[11:52] ---
    - Hurry up already!
    - Okay!
[11:57] ---
    That's right... Work it a bit more...
    Okay, I'll take the picture now.
[12:02] ---
    Nice. That's good.
[12:09] ---
    How are you?
[12:12] ---
    I'm very busy catching up with work
    from the time I took off for the U20.

[12:18] ---
    Did you receive her message, Kazumi?
[12:25] ---
    Wow! It's so pretty!
[12:30] ---
    The wind is nice.
[12:31] ---
    Fall comes earlier here
    than in Japan, doesn't it?
[12:34] ---
    He was in this city, right?
[12:37] ---
    Yeah.
[12:38] ---
    You were in the springtime
    of your life, weren't you?
[12:41] ---
    Yeah.
[12:42] ---
    Wha-! Kumi, I never...
[12:45] ---
    It's alright. I understand.
[12:48] ---
    What do you mean?
[12:49] ---
    I can see it all.
[12:51] ---
    Kumi!
[12:53] ---
    Thank you for coming.
[12:55] ---
    There's something
    I'd like you to do for me.
[12:58] ---
    If I'm able.
SIGN    Satoru Enishi Branch Chief of the Dark Zone Branch
[13:06] ---
    Showing many people
    how fun Vanguard can be will be your job.
[13:12] ---
    I wonder if you would accept it?
[13:16] ---
    Thank you. I gratefully accept.
[13:28] ---
    Ma-kun!
[13:30] ---
    Would you stop calling me that already,
[13:34] ---
    brother?
[13:36] ---
    Then stop calling me that, too.
[13:38] ---
    It's what the Onimaru family
    forced you to call me.
[13:41] ---
    Call me "bro", like you used to.
[13:46] ---
    Okay...br...
[13:49] ---
    Forget it!
[13:51] ---
    Fight me!
[13:56] ---
    So you're not coming back?
[13:59] ---
    I have no intention of causing any fuss.
[14:02] ---
    My mother and I are
    living together just fine.
[14:05] ---
    That's enough, isn't it?
[14:07] ---
    If you say so.
[14:09] ---
    It sounds like things will be tough for you,
    having to become the head of the family.
[14:14] ---
    It's not decided that I'll take over yet.
[14:18] ---
    I see. That's right.
[14:22] ---
    I'll overcome you today for sure!
[14:24] ---
    I'm looking forward to it.
[14:27] ---
    Stand Up!
[14:28] ---
    Vanguard!
[14:33] ---
    Hello!
[14:36] ---
    Long time no see, Taiyou.
[14:38] ---
    How are you?
[14:39] ---
    It feels like it's been years
[14:42] ---
    since we last got together in this shop.
[14:45] ---
    Oh, now that you mention it...
[14:48] ---
    We've all been busy, after all.
[14:50] ---
    We all went different ways.
    But this place never changes, does it?
[14:57] ---
    What's up?
[14:59] ---
    Welcome!
[15:03] ---
    This is amazing!
    The TRY3 members are all together!
[15:09] ---
    It's totally different
    seeing you in person!
[15:11] ---
    You can't feel this from
    looking at a picture or video.
[15:16] ---
    What will you be doing next?
    Will you enter another tournament together?
[15:20] ---
    I really loved your fights!
[15:24] ---
    Oh, I almost forgot.
    Can I get your autographs?
[15:27] ---
    Cut it out already!
[15:31] ---
    Pardon me.
    I seem to have gotten a little excited.
[15:35] ---
    Seems like when you first came here,
[15:37] ---
    Shiranui was acting the whole time.
[15:41] ---
    Welcome!
[15:43] ---
    Everyone's already here.
[15:50] ---
    I would like to apologize
    for the trouble I've caused.
[15:54] ---
    You're basically a victim of a Diffride.
    There's no need to apologize.
[16:00] ---
    It felt like I was dreaming the
    whole time during the Diffride.
[16:05] ---
    For a while after I woke,
    my memories were jumbled.
[16:09] ---
    I think I've finally sorted
    things out in my head now.
[16:14] ---
    I can remember now...
[16:17] ---
    Stealth Dragon, Shiranui's memories.
[16:19] ---
    When he left me,
[16:22] ---
    he left his memories within me,
[16:25] ---
    as a warning about what is going
    to happen in the future.
[16:31] ---
    Stealth Dragon, Shiranui and the group
    he leads are called Heterodox Users,
[16:37] ---
    and have been oppressed by people.
[16:40] ---
    They were discarded as sacrificial pawns.
[16:44] ---
    The one who appeared
    before Shiranui in his despair
[16:48] ---
    was Evil God Bishop, Gastille
    and his group of Apostles.
[16:53] ---
    Gastille?
[16:55] ---
    Apostles?
[16:56] ---
    They worship Planet Cray's old God
[17:00] ---
    and call themselves his Apostles.
[17:03] ---
    Their leader, Gastille,
[17:04] ---
    told Shiranui that Vanguard is
    distorting Planet Cray's destiny,
[17:09] ---
    and misled him.
[17:10] ---
    I saw that, as well,
    during the climax fight.
[17:24] ---
    Gastille gave Shiranui
    the Evil Eye of Domination
[17:27] ---
    and sent him out to our world.
[17:38] ---
    To break the protection of Messiah?
[17:41] ---
    Gastille gave Shiranui two missions.
[17:45] ---
    The first was
[17:46] ---
    to summon Star-vader,
    Chaos Breaker Dragon to this world.
[17:54] ---
    Chaos Breaker had a
    separate mission from Shiranui.
[18:00] ---
    To allow his comrades, the other Apostles
[18:03] ---
    to Diffride in our fighters
    and summon them here.
[18:09] ---
    It is very likely that other Apostles
    have come here without us knowing it.
[18:14] ---
    Arata and Makoto are
    searching for Noa aren't they?
[18:18] ---
    Yeah, they were looking all over
    during the summer vacation with Kai.
[18:23] ---
    Kai is fighting them during their
    free time to improve their skills.
[18:29] ---
    Verno... Amaruda said that
[18:33] ---
    if we beat them in a fight, the Diffriding
    Units can be sent back to Planet Cray.
[18:40] ---
    Shiranui's first mission was
    Chaos Breaker's Diffride.
[18:44] ---
    What was the second?
[18:45] ---
    To choose a vessel.
[18:48] ---
    A vessel?
[18:49] ---
    The God they believe in,
    what they call their master,
[18:53] ---
    will Diffride a fighter in this world
    and be summoned here.
[18:57] ---
    He was to choose a vessel for their
    master from the U20 fighters.
[19:03] ---
    That was the reason
    Shiranui participated in the U20.
[19:07] ---
    But you can only Diffride with a Unit
    you have a connection with!
[19:13] ---
    Normally, that's correct.
[19:14] ---
    But somehow, it's possible for Gastille
    and the others to make it possible.
[19:18] ---
    Fighters who are still
    developing as individuals
[19:20] ---
    and are easy to take over, who also have
    strong imaging power become their vessels...
[19:27] ---
    To allow their God to descend.
[19:33] ---
    Why would they do that?
[19:35] ---
    Shiranui believed he was to destroy
    Vanguard with the power of that God
[19:40] ---
    to release Planet Cray from its destiny.
[19:44] ---
    However, Gastille and his Apostles
[19:47] ---
    might have a different plan
    for the descent of their God.
[19:53] ---
    What even is that God?
[19:57] ---
    Dragon Deity of Destruction, Gyze.
[20:14] ---
    The counterpart to the the God of
    Creation and Harmony, Messiah.
[20:17] ---
    He who rules the void,
    the Deity of Destruction.
[22:14] ---
    Hey...
[22:19] ---
    Please stop doing this!
[22:23] ---
    The you that I admired
    would never do such a thing!
[22:27] ---
    You never flinched no matter what.
[22:30] ---
    You were strong and majestic and cool!
[22:33] ---
    That's why I...
[22:36] ---
    Shut up!
[22:45] ---
    Yo. I've decided to join you.
[22:56] ---
    This world should be totally destroyed.
[23:03] ---
    We welcome you, Flare Trooper, Dumjid.
[23:07] ---
    Our master will surely be pleased.
[23:12] ---
    I hear Shiranui has fled.
[23:14] ---
    It is of no importance.
[23:16] ---
    The selection has been completed.
[23:19] ---
    The trump cards are all in our hand.
[23:34] ---
    Let us respectfully welcome him!
[23:37] ---
    Our master, the one who destroys all!
[23:42] ---
    Dragon Deity of Destruction, Gyze
    will descend upon this land!
[23:47] ---
    And the world shall fall silent
[23:50] ---
    as it perishes before our God!
[23:55] ---
    Our next enemy is
    Dragon Deity of Destruction, Gyze!
[23:58] ---
    And the six weapons of destruction
    Gyze has created - the Zeroth Dragons!
[24:04] ---
    I won't let the world or
    Vanguard be destroyed!
[24:07] ---
    We'll give everything we have
    to protect the world!
[24:11] ---
    Let's go, everyone!
[24:13] ---
    Stride Generation!
[24:16] ---
    The new series, Cardfight!! Vanguard G Z
[24:20] ---
    will start on Sunday morning,
    October 8th, at 10 AM!
