[00:06] ---
    Hi.
[00:07] ---
    Are you going somewhere?
[00:09] ---
    Yeah. To the Dragon Empire Branch.
[00:12] ---
    "Dragon Empire Branch"?
[00:15] ---
    The Association's Joutou branch.
[00:19] ---
    Basically, it's the Association's office,
[00:23] ---
    but the first three floors are
    a Vanguard amusement space.
[00:29] ---
    Strong fighters gather there.
[00:32] ---
    They've got GIAS, too.
[00:37] ---
    You wanna come?
SIGN    About Great Level
[02:13] ---
    Mr. Anjou...
[02:14] Spoken
    About the next event, the quiz tournament,
[02:16] Spoken
    can I move ahead on that?
[02:19] Spoken
    Yeah. As soon as all the
    paperwork is in order,
[02:21] Spoken
    get the stamp of approval
    from the branch chief.
[02:23] Spoken
    Mr. Anjou! The branch chief isn't here!
[02:25] Spoken
    What?!
[02:27] Spoken
    He ran off again?
[02:30] Spoken
    When we're this busy...
[02:34] Spoken
    I've got no choice.
    I'll go search for the branch chief!
SIGN    Turn 6 Mamoru Anjou
[02:44] Spoken
    The Association is split up into
    six areas in the metro area,
[02:48] Spoken
    each of them a branch modeled
    after the planet Cray's nations.
[02:52] Spoken
    The area we live in is the Dragon Empire.
[02:55] Spoken
    They plan events and tournaments,
[02:58] Spoken
    and promote networking between fighters.
[03:00] Spoken
    Keeping regional Vanguard activity energized
    is the main job of each branch.
[03:09] Spoken
    That Association sure keeps itself busy, huh?
[03:12] Spoken
    Yeah. You wanna go inside?
[03:25] Spoken
    There sure are a lot of people here
    when they've got an event goin'.
SIGN    Fight Mamoru Anjou Kagero Clan Leader
[03:31] Spoken
    It looks like only local fighters
    can participate in today's event.
[03:36] Spoken
    Kamui!
[03:39] Spoken
    Hey, you guys are here, huh?
[03:42] Spoken
    Yep!
[03:44] Spoken
    Are you gonna participate in the event, too?
[03:46] Spoken
    Of course! We signed up.
[03:48] Spoken
    I hope you get picked in the drawing.
[03:51] Spoken
    Drawing?
[03:54] Spoken
    Chrono, you're such a greenhorn.
[03:56] Spoken
    You don't even know about
    today's special event?
[04:00] Spoken
    If you're picked in the drawing,
    you get to fight Mamoru Anjou,
[04:03] Spoken
    no matter what
    grade of fighter you are!
[04:06] Spoken
    I might be able to fight Mamoru.
[04:09] Spoken
    This is my big chance!
[04:10] Spoken
    There's no way he can overlook this fighter!
[04:17] Spoken
    I struck Mamoru!
[04:20] Spoken
    I apologize for my insolence, Mamoru!
[04:22] Spoken
    Creepy...
[04:24] Spoken
    You're calling Mamoru "creepy"?!
[04:26] Spoken
    No, not him.
[04:29] Spoken
    You can't even comprehend
    the wonder of Mamoru Anjou,
[04:31] Spoken
    clan leader of Kagero,
    one of the Dragon Empire clans?
[04:37] Spoken
    You are one sad man.
[04:40] Spoken
    What the heck is a clan leader?
[04:42] Spoken
    Oh, boy...
[04:44] Spoken
    You don't even know that?
[04:47] Spoken
    It's a top fighter recognized
    by the Association.
[04:51] Spoken
    But even if you have a fight like that,
[04:54] Spoken
    your level is so much lower than his
    that it won't be much of a fight at all.
[04:57] Spoken
    He gets a handicap, depending
    on his opponent's level.
[05:01] Spoken
    He fights with fewer cards in his hand.
[05:04] Spoken
    If you're lucky and win,
    you get tons of points,
[05:07] Spoken
    but even if you lose...
[05:08] Spoken
    Just getting to fight Mamoru
    is a reward of its own!
[05:16] Spoken
    Since you're here, Chrono,
    you oughta sign up.
[05:21] Spoken
    It's Vangaro!
[05:23] Spoken
    Chrono Shindou, grade 1.
[05:26] Spoken
    The deck you use is...
[05:28] Spoken
    ...Gear Chronicle?!
[05:34] Spoken
    Gear Chronicle...
[05:38] Spoken
    That's the deck everyone's
    talking about these days!
[05:42] Spoken
    All right, you're signed up.
[05:44] Spoken
    I hope you enjoy the event.
SIGN    Chrono Shindou
[05:49] Spoken
    There are 528 people...
[05:51] Spoken
    I doubt I'll get picked.
[05:54] Spoken
    You never know.
[05:55] Spoken
    Somebody's gotta get picked.
[05:59] Spoken
    You're a positive thinker, huh?
[06:07] Spoken
    W-What's with this character?
[06:11] Spoken
    Hey.
[06:20] Spoken
    I'm Vangaro!
[06:22] Spoken
    Vangaro?
[06:23] Spoken
    You don't know?
[06:25] Spoken
    He's the Association's mascot.
[06:27] Spoken
    I hear you've got a rare deck!
[06:33] Spoken
    How about fighting me?!
[06:38] Spoken
    I'm gonna pass.
[06:40] Spoken
    Huh?! Why?! Why?!
[06:42] Spoken
    Is this Vangaro's personality?
[06:42] Spoken
    Why?! Why?!
[06:45] Spoken
    I'm not sure...
[06:47] Spoken
    I don't know that much about him.
[06:52] Spoken
    Oh, there's Mamoru!
[06:54] Spoken
    Hey!
[07:01] Spoken
    Kamui. Long time no see.
[07:03] Spoken
    Today's event is another big success.
[07:06] Spoken
    And I'm thankful for it, but...
[07:09] Spoken
    What's wrong?
[07:11] Spoken
    Oh, the branch chief took off again.
[07:14] Spoken
    The branch chief who's
    famous for loving fights?
[07:18] Spoken
    Even though we're so busy
    today with the event...
[07:29] Spoken
    I can't get up!
[07:32] Spoken
    Help me, kind lad!
[07:36] Spoken
    If I must...
[07:38] Spoken
    You can't get up on your own?
[07:42] Spoken
    Thank you!
[07:43] Spoken
    You're as kind as I thought.
[07:47] Spoken
    Yeah, whatever.
[07:49] Spoken
    By way of thanks, I'll fight you!
[07:53] Spoken
    That's thanks?
[07:56] Spoken
    You've got it pretty rough, Mamoru.
[07:59] Spoken
    Oh, that's right.
[08:01] Spoken
    I wanted to introduce you to Chrono...
[08:04] Spoken
    Huh?
[08:05] Spoken
    Chrono?
[08:08] Spoken
    You mean Chrono Shindou?
[08:11] Spoken
    You know him?
[08:12] Spoken
    I heard about him from Tokoha.
[08:14] Spoken
    She said he has an unusual deck.
[08:17] Spoken
    That's right...
[08:19] Spoken
    ...but where'd he go?
[08:21] Spoken
    Wha...?!
[08:23] Spoken
    That Vangaro was really
    curious about Chrono's deck.
[08:28] Spoken
    Vangaro?
[08:32] Spoken
    Branch chief!
[08:38] Spoken
    Is that you?!
[08:40] ---
    Ah!
[08:41] Spoken
    It's Mamoru Anjou!
[08:43] Spoken
    Mamoru Anjou is right over there!
[08:45] Spoken
    It is him! Mamoru Anjou!
[08:49] Spoken
    Mamoru!
[08:50] Spoken
    Mamoru!
[08:51] Spoken
    Ah! Kamui Katsuragi is here, too!
[08:57] Spoken
    Hey, calm down, you guys!
[09:01] Spoken
    Let's go.
[09:02] Spoken
    Wait!
[09:03] Spoken
    Please give me your autograph!
[09:04] Spoken
    Mamoru!
[09:05] Spoken
    Me too!
[09:07] Spoken
    G-Give me a minute, okay?
[09:10] Spoken
    Branch chief, you...!
[09:16] Spoken
    Are you being chased, old man?
[09:17] Spoken
    I'm not an old man!
[09:19] Spoken
    I'm Vangaro!
[09:21] Spoken
    Whatever you say, but don't get me involved.
[09:24] Spoken
    I just want to properly thank you.
[09:31] Spoken
    Well, we've arrived at the fight area.
[09:42] Spoken
    Let's fight! Fight...
[09:47] Spoken
    Get me up! Get me up!
[09:48] Spoken
    Get me up!
[09:58] Spoken
    Kamui!
[10:00] Spoken
    Tokoha...
[10:02] Spoken
    If you're looking for Mamoru,
    he's taking shelter in the waiting room.
[10:05] Spoken
    Shelter?
[10:09] Spoken
    Thank you for taking care of my big brother.
[10:11] Spoken
    This is from my mother.
SIGN    Dragon
[10:15] Spoken
    Thank you, Tokoha.
[10:18] Spoken
    Um...
[10:20] Spoken
    I'm not gonna show you any
    mercy, branch chief...
[10:26] Spoken
    He looks scary...
[10:33] Spoken
    All right, let's fight!
[10:38] Spoken
    What's that?
[10:40] Spoken
    "A special quest for fighters.
[10:42] Spoken
    Search for Vangaro in the
    Dragon Empire Building"?
[10:47] Spoken
    "He's somewhere in the building.
    Please capture Vangaro."
[10:51] Spoken
    300 points?!
[10:54] Spoken
    Wow!
[10:55] Spoken
    Why, you, Mamoru...!
[10:58] Spoken
    You wanna capture me that badly?!
[11:05] Spoken
    Old man, what'd you do?
[11:07] Spoken
    I didn't do anything!
[11:10] Spoken
    Look! There's Vangaro!
[11:14] Spoken
    Let's get outta here!
[11:16] Spoken
    Again?
[11:28] Spoken
    Wait!
[11:29] Spoken
    Sheesh. I don't know why I'm doin' this...
[11:38] Spoken
    This quest is an abuse of authority!
[11:41] Spoken
    It's inexcusable! Just bullying!
[11:43] Spoken
    Saying that doesn't help
    when you're bein' chased!
[11:46] Spoken
    He's supposed to come up with quests
    that get people excited...
[11:53] Spoken
    ...carefully select the best and
    then officially announce them!
[11:56] Spoken
    But here we are...
[11:59] Spoken
    Well, people are excited...
[12:03] Spoken
    That's not the issue...
[12:05] Spoken
    Let's turn... that way...
[12:08] Spoken
    ...into the room!
SIGN    Patience
[12:15] Spoken
    H-Hey...
[12:17] Spoken
    This is a dead end.
[12:18] Spoken
    What do we do?
[12:20] Spoken
    This is what we do!
SIGN    Perseverance
[12:40] Spoken
    Ow...
[12:41] Spoken
    What was that?
[12:43] Spoken
    Secret passage for staff members.
[12:45] Spoken
    Come on, follow me.
[12:54] Spoken
    This is...
[12:56] Spoken
    ...an office?
[12:58] Spoken
    If you're gonna do a good job,
    it needs to be fun.
[13:01] Spoken
    Or so we say.
[13:04] Spoken
    You look wiped out.
[13:06] Spoken
    Your voice has turned to normal, too.
[13:08] Spoken
    I-I don't know what you're talking about...
[13:11] Spoken
    W-Well, it looks like we gave them the slip.
[13:15] Spoken
    So let's fight...
[13:17] Spoken
    Good grief. You wanna fight that badly?
[13:21] Spoken
    Yes!
[13:31] Spoken
    He hasn't been caught yet?
[13:33] Spoken
    I haven't received any reports.
[13:35] Spoken
    And it's about time for the event to start,
[13:37] Spoken
    so there aren't as many
    fighters looking for him now.
[13:40] Spoken
    Yeesh.
[13:45] Spoken
    There's a place we can
    fight... just up ahead.
[13:48] Spoken
    Why don't you just take that off?
[13:50] Spoken
    I'm Vangaro!
[13:52] Spoken
    There isn't anybody... inside of me...
[13:57] Spoken
    For now, let's go our separate ways.
[13:59] Spoken
    But what about our fight?!
[14:02] Spoken
    Um...
[14:03] Spoken
    After this, I'm gonna
    fight this old man I know.
[14:08] Spoken
    Yeah, that's right.
[14:13] Spoken
    I-I see!
[14:14] Spoken
    You gotta do what you gotta do!
[14:16] Spoken
    Goodbye!
[14:21] Spoken
    Hi! Vangaro gave me the message.
[14:24] Spoken
    I hear you wanna fight me.
[14:29] Spoken
    So there really was an old man inside.
[14:33] Spoken
    And now, the fighter for the first match...
[14:36] Spoken
    Start the roulette!
SIGN    Good Luck
[14:38] Spoken
    Pick me! Pick me!
[14:42] Spoken
    528! Chrono Shindou!
[14:45] Spoken
    Him! Him!
[14:49] Spoken
    Chrono Shindou, please come to the stage.
[14:50] Spoken
    Lucky...
[14:52] Spoken
    Huh?
[14:56] Spoken
    He's not here?
[14:58] Spoken
    Too bad, when he got picked.
[15:00] Spoken
    In that case, it won't count,
[15:00] Spoken
    Where the heck did Chrono go?
[15:02] Spoken
    so let's start the roulette one more time.
[15:20] Spoken
    You even have GIAS here?
[15:23] Spoken
    As I thought, no one's using it.
[15:26] Spoken
    Because everybody's busy.
[15:28] Spoken
    Are you allowed to use it?
[15:30] Spoken
    No problem!
[15:31] Spoken
    I'm an employee.
[15:33] Spoken
    Well, let's do it!
[15:37] Spoken
    210! Tsuneto Tado!
[15:44] Spoken
    My clan is Narukami.
[15:46] Spoken
    Have you fought against it before?
[15:48] Spoken
    Yeah. By the way, old man, what's your grade?
[15:52] Spoken
    That's a secret.
[15:57] Spoken
    Okay, here I go!
[16:02] Spoken
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[16:05] Spoken
    The normal hand begins with five cards,
[16:09] Spoken
    but Mamoru Anjou is going to start
    with a handicap of three cards!
SIGN    Fight
[16:11] Spoken
    Good luck!
[16:13] Spoken
    Attack!
[16:16] Spoken
    Fascinating...
[16:17] Spoken
    But even with this attack...
[16:20] Spoken
    ...I'll guard!
[16:24] Spoken
    All right! Nice! I like it!
[16:27] Spoken
    This is so much fun, you've
    got me on pins and needles!
[16:30] Spoken
    You're having too much fun.
[16:34] Spoken
    Stride Generation!
[16:40] Spoken
    Mamoru Anjou really is strong.
[16:42] Spoken
    You wouldn't know he's been handicapped!
[16:45] Spoken
    That's my big brother.
[16:49] Spoken
    You never gave up. Nice fight, Tsuneto Tado.
[16:53] Spoken
    Let's give him a big hand, everyone.
[16:55] Spoken
    I'm so happy!
[16:56] Spoken
    Even though I lost, I'm happy!
[16:58] Spoken
    Th-Thank you.
[17:03] Spoken
    It ends here!
[17:05] Spoken
    Not yet!
[17:08] Spoken
    Guard!
[17:12] Spoken
    Not bad.
[17:13] Spoken
    Right back at ya!
[17:16] Spoken
    We still haven't found him.
[17:18] Spoken
    Jeez...
[17:20] Spoken
    Maybe he left the premises?
[17:22] Spoken
    He's not that irresponsible.
[17:25] Spoken
    My guess is he's having a fight somewhere...
[17:29] Spoken
    Generation Zone... release!
[17:45] Spoken
    Now, show me...
[17:47] Spoken
    ...the world I truly desire!
[17:50] Spoken
    Stride Generation!
[18:13] Spoken
    Come and get me!
[18:44] Spoken
    This is where it gets real!
[18:48] Spoken
    Feel the fight!
[18:50] Spoken
    Dazzling excitement, Stride Genera...
[18:56] Spoken
    Found you!
[19:05] Spoken
    Sorry, Mamoru!
[19:09] Spoken
    Branch chief!
[19:14] Spoken
    B-Branch chief?
[19:17] Spoken
    Let's fight again sometime!
[19:20] Spoken
    I'll be waiting!
[19:22] Spoken
    The rumors don't do him justice...
[19:24] Spoken
    So he's famous, huh?
[19:27] Spoken
    This kid is Chrono Shindou?
[19:29] Spoken
    That's right.
[19:31] Spoken
    Nice to meet you. I'm Mamoru Anjou.
[19:34] Spoken
    My little sister has told me a lot about you.
[19:36] Spoken
    Little sister?
[19:38] Spoken
    Mamoru is Tokoha's brother.
[19:41] Spoken
    Tokoha?
[19:43] Spoken
    Oh, that obnoxious...
[19:47] Spoken
    She's strong-willed.
[19:49] Spoken
    But she means well.
[19:50] Spoken
    So be nice to her.
[19:52] Spoken
    Okay.
[19:54] Spoken
    That aside, it seems the branch chief
    dragged you all over the place,
[19:57] Spoken
    so I'm sorry for the trouble.
[20:00] Spoken
    Well, it was fun for me, too.
[20:04] Spoken
    But is the Dragon Empire okay
[20:07] Spoken
    with somebody like that as the branch chief?
[20:10] Spoken
    He's dependable when we really need him.
[20:12] Spoken
    And he's a first-class fighter.
[20:15] Spoken
    Really?
[20:16] Spoken
    He's the Narukami clan leader.
[20:19] Spoken
    Then he's a fighter in your class, Mamoru?
[20:22] Spoken
    He's stronger than me.
[20:24] Spoken
    His strength is like a bottomless pit.
[20:27] Spoken
    It didn't feel like that when
    I was fighting him, though.
[20:31] Spoken
    The branch chief always brings himself
    in line with his opponent's level
[20:34] Spoken
    so both can have a fun fight.
[20:36] Spoken
    Everyone who fights him smiles.
[20:40] Spoken
    Now that you mention it, so did I...
[20:43] Spoken
    I want to seriously fight the
    branch chief myself someday.
[20:51] Spoken
    Come to think of it,
[20:53] Spoken
    you use an unusual deck, right, Chrono?
[20:55] Spoken
    How about fighting me?
[20:59] Spoken
    I don't mind fighting with a handicap.
[21:02] Spoken
    You're a lucky guy, Chrono.
[21:03] Spoken
    Fight him!
[21:07] Spoken
    No, thank you.
[21:08] Spoken
    If I do, I want it to be a serious fight.
[21:10] Spoken
    Instead, I'll challenge you
     after I get stronger.
[21:15] Spoken
    So please fight me then.
[21:19] Spoken
    I see.
[21:20] Spoken
    I'll be waiting.
[21:21] Spoken
    I'm always here at the Dragon Empire.
[21:24] Spoken
    Okay.
[21:25] Spoken
    Oh, that's right.
[21:27] Spoken
    I'll give you the points for
    the "capture Vangaro" quest.
[21:31] Spoken
    Oh, that's okay...
[21:32] Spoken
    Don't be shy. Take the points!
[21:35] Spoken
    Think of it as compensation
    for your troubles.
SIGN    Mamoru Anjou Chrono Shindou
[21:45] Spoken
    That was fun!
[21:47] Spoken
    Branch chief! Please get to work.
[21:50] Spoken
    I bet you're frustrated you didn't
    get to fight Gear Chronicle, huh?
[21:56] Spoken
    Keep talking nonsense and I'm
    not gonna help you anymore!
[21:59] Spoken
    I was just kidding! Don't get mad!
[22:01] Spoken
    Forget it, just do your work!
[22:03] Spoken
    Okay, okay!
[22:12] Spoken
    There are all kinds of fighters, huh?
[22:15] Spoken
    Yep.
[22:16] Spoken
    The Vanguard world is a wide place.
[23:57] Spoken
    Dragon Empire Branch...
[23:59] Spoken
    It was my first time there,
    but what an amazing place.
[24:01] Spoken
    That branch chief is
    larger-than-life, you know?
[24:04] Spoken
    I'm surprised there's somebody
    like that at the top.
[24:06] Spoken
    I bet Mamoru really backs him up.
[24:09] Spoken
    Then it's like at Card Capital 2.
