    Attack! Attack! Attack!
[00:07] ---
    I... have nothing...
[00:11] ---
    Picture it.
[00:18] ---
    I'm not... gonna let it end yet!
[01:55] ---
    I attack your Vanguard!
[02:14] ---
    So that's what it is...

    Whoever beats him
    gets 10,000 treasure points!
[02:27] ---
    Idiot! Nobody's gonna beat Toshiki Kai.
[02:46] ---
    With this G Quest,
    I'm going to become a new me.
[02:50] ---
    I'm going to grab the future!
[03:05] ---
    Even though we're friends,
    we can't do anything for Shion.
[03:12] ---
    All we can do is to keep doing what we can!
[03:15] ---
    To grab TRY3's future!
[03:18] ---
    To grab our future!

[03:27] ---
    Hello, everyone!
[03:29] ---
    We're covering the Dragon Empire Branch
    G Quest, which started this week.
[03:34] ---
    How has it been as a participant?
[03:38] ---
    It's been easy.
[03:40] ---
    I wouldn't say my opponents are weak,
[03:43] ---
    but they haven't been
    putting up much of a fight.
[03:46] ---
    The field is vast.
    It takes time to find chasers.
[03:51] ---
    And you can't place a quest
    that's related to G Quest. So...
[03:55] ---
    ...I guess I'd like to fight
    somebody who's stronger.
[03:58] ---
    This is the fastest way to do it!
[04:00] ---
    All you chasers out there!
[04:02] ---
    I'm waiting right here for your challenge!
[04:09] ---
    The finishing blow! Attack!
[04:21] ---
    Immediate results!
[04:26] ---
    Amanda attacks your Vanguard!
[04:29] ---
    I lost!
[04:31] ---
    She really is strong!
[04:34] ---
    Do your best to the end!
[04:39] ---
    Good luck!
[04:43] ---
    We're working.
[04:44] ---
    S-Sorry!
[04:46] ---
    Anyway, I think they'll be okay.
[04:50] ---
    TRY3, right?
[04:53] ---
    How did you know?! That's amazing!
[04:56] [SONG] ---
    Nakami
[04:57] ---
    Rarity? Of the treasure chests?
[05:00] ---
    Yeah. That's how you can tell what's in it.
[05:09] ---
    After you find the treasure chest,
    look carefully at its underside.
[05:16] ---
    The more rare it is,
    the more treasure you'll be able to get.
[05:19] ---
    At the same time, it could be
    a dud. But that's Vanguard.
[05:24] ---
    It would be too easy if they're all good things,
    so half of the treasure chests are traps.
[05:28] ---
    So be careful.
[05:31] ---
    I'm gonna open it! For the team's future!
[05:35] ---
    Generation Zone... release!
SIGN    Dud
[05:41] ---
    Darn it! Let me out!
[05:43] ---
    I don't have time for this!
[05:47] ---
    Let me out! Darn it!
[05:49] ---
    Sheesh. What are you doing?
[05:52] ---
    Tokoha!
[05:54] ---
    You got caught just like that! Careless!
[05:57] ---
    Yeah, look who's talking!
[05:59] ---
    Well, excuse me!
[06:02] ---
    Hey, hey.
[06:04] ---
    You're on the same team,
    so try to get along. Okay?
[06:09] ---
    It ends here!
[06:18] ---
    Chrono and Tokoha were...?
[06:24] ---
    What the...?
[06:25] ---
    The trains are running late.
[06:28] ---
    What? Seriously?
[06:31] ---
    What should I do?
[06:34] ---
    Yeah. Got it.
[06:37] ---
    Bye.
[06:39] ---
    Excuse me.
[06:43] ---
    G-Guard...
[06:46] ---
    Please... Please accept my
    humble apologies. I beg you...
[06:50] ---
    If you could get back into the game
    by doing that, this would be a cinch.
[06:54] ---
    Sorry, this is my job... I mean a quest.
[06:59] ---
    So don't take it personally.
[07:07] ---
    Thank you!
[07:10] ---
    Hey.
[07:12] ---
    Will I see you again?
[07:14] ---
    If fate brings us together...
[07:21] ---
    It can't be helped.
    We're sidelined for the time being.
[07:25] ---
    Let's look for a path to freedom together!
[07:27] ---
    Hey, don't group us together!
    We've still got a teammate out there!
[07:33] ---
    Shion!
[07:35] ---
    I've come to get you out of there.
[07:36] ---
    Sorry. We...
[07:39] ---
    ...dragged you down.
[07:40] ---
    I don't mind.
[07:42] ---
    I've been waiting for you.
[07:47] ---
    Um, so if you beat me, a guardian,
    in a fight, I'll release your friends.
[07:52] ---
    And the treasure you got
    will also be returned.
[07:54] ---
    However, if you lose, you'll also...
[07:56] ---
    I won't lose!
[07:59] ---
    Huh. Then show me what you've got.
[08:03] ---
    With that being said,
    here's where I get serious.
[08:08] ---
    Let's begin!
[08:19] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[08:39] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[08:42] ---
    Shining Knight, Millius!
[08:44] ---
    Seal Dragon, Terrycloth!
[08:48] ---
    I ride Lunar Crescent Knight, Felax!
[08:52] ---
    Seal Dragon, Flannel!
[08:56] ---
    I attack your Vanguard!
[09:00] ---
    I ride Seal Dragon, Jacquard!
[09:02] ---
    I call a rear-guard!
[09:05] ---
    Your expression is
    way different from last time.
[09:09] ---
    Well, why not?
    Boys have their ups and downs.
[09:14] ---
    Attack!
[09:20] ---
    The damage is 3 to 1
    at the end of the fourth turn.
[09:23] ---
    He's losing... No, it's not over yet.
[09:26] ---
    Go, Shion!
[09:33] ---
    Picture it.
[09:36] ---
    That's right. Both of us
    are going to open up a new path!
[09:42] ---
    I ride Blue Sky Knight, Altmile!
[09:47] ---
    Sicilus moves back! I call Greatspear!
[09:51] ---
    Attack!
[09:52] ---
    Sky Noble Thrust!
[09:59] ---
    Did he tell you something?
[10:04] ---
    He told me to "picture it."
[10:06] ---
    I see.
[10:08] ---
    That's like him.
    Advice that's blunt to the max.
[10:12] ---
    I ride Hellfire Seal Dragon, Blockade Inferno!
[10:17] ---
    Stride Generation!
[10:22] ---
    Helldeity Seal Dragon, Crossorigin!
[10:26] ---
    That's the Seal Dragon G unit...
[10:28] ---
    I retire one of your rear-guards
    with Terrycloth's skill!
[10:33] ---
    In exchange, you get to look at the top
    four cards of your deck and call a grade 2.
[10:41] ---
    Crossorigin's skill activated!
[10:44] ---
    I retire Sicilus!
[10:46] ---
    You have to show the top
    four cards of your deck.
[10:50] ---
    Call as many grade 2 units as the number
     of cards that were put into the Drop Zone.
[10:55] ---
    If my opponent has two or more
    grade 2 rear-guards,
[10:58] ---
    I get an extra critical!
[11:02] ---
    Grade 2...
[11:04] ---
    So the more grade 2s his opponent has,
    the stronger he gets!
[11:08] ---
    Say, is that...
[11:11] ---
    I call Seal Dragon, Gariserge!
[11:14] ---
    Gariserge boosts!
[11:16] ---
    Crossorigin attacks your Vanguard!
[11:19] ---
    Gariserge's skill!
[11:20] ---
    None of your units can intercept!
[11:24] ---
    You sealed off my intercepts?!
[11:26] ---
    And that's not all!
[11:27] ---
    The power of my boosted unit gets +2000 power
[11:30] ---
    for every grade 2 you have!
[11:38] ---
    Perfect guard!
[11:41] ---
    Triple drive!
[11:44] ---
    Heal trigger! I heal 1 damage point!
[11:48] ---
    I give the power to Jacquard!
[11:50] ---
    Nghhhghh!
[11:54] ---
    Of course you do realize it, right?
[11:57] ---
    Our decks are interlocked with each other.
[12:01] ---
    I thought so...
[12:02] ---
    The more grade 2s he gets,
    the more Royal Paladin powers up.
[12:07] ---
    Kagero's Seal Dragons get stronger as the opponent gets more grade 2s.
[12:12] ---
    So as I exercise more power,
[12:15] ---
    my opponent gets stronger.
[12:20] ---
    Stride Generation!
[12:23] ---
    Shrouded Divine Knight, Gablade!
[12:26] ---
    Altmile's Stride skill! +5000 power!
[12:30] ---
    I call Knight of Reform, Pir!
[12:33] ---
    Gablade attacks your Vanguard!
[12:36] ---
    Triple drive!
[12:39] ---
    Critical trigger!
[12:41] ---
    I give the power to the right-side Fragment
    and the critical to Gablade!
[12:50] ---
    Now I can call one unit from my deck
    that's grade 2 or higher.
[12:55] ---
    But...
[12:57] ---
    What are you gonna do?
    Running away is one option.
[13:12] ---
    Gablade's skill!
[13:13] ---
    I call Techgal!
[13:16] ---
    Pir's skill!
[13:18] ---
    Attack!
[13:20] ---
    Damage check. Heal trigger!
[13:23] ---
    Fragment attacks!
[13:25] ---
    Guard!
[13:26] ---
    4 to 4...
[13:28] ---
    With that last situation, I think the usual
    Shion would've been a little more careful.
[13:33] ---
    Yeah. But...
[13:36] ---
    ...he's calmer now. Totally calm.
[13:40] ---
    It's my turn.
[13:42] ---
    Crossorigin strides once more!
[13:45] ---
    I call Hellfire Seal Dragon Knight!
[13:48] ---
    Seal Dragon Knight's skill!
[13:50] ---
    During this turn, your units can't intercept!
[13:54] ---
    On top of that, for every grade 2 unit
    you have, I get +2000 power!
[13:58] ---
    Crossorigin's skill!
[14:02] ---
    The same number as there are
    Crossorigin units in the G Zone get retired.
[14:05] ---
    This time, three units!
[14:06] ---
    Then you show the top four cards of your deck
[14:09] ---
    and can call the same number of
    grade 2 units that I retired!
[14:13] ---
    Oh, too bad! All duds!
[14:18] ---
    Without any grade 2 units, his opponent
    doesn't get any more criticals,
[14:22] ---
    but he can't replenish the grade 2s
    that were retired either.
[14:27] ---
    Gariserge boosts!
[14:29] ---
    Crossorigin attacks your Vanguard!
[14:32] ---
    Perfect guard!
[14:33] ---
    Triple drive!
[14:36] ---
    Critical trigger!
[14:37] ---
    I give all of the effects
    to Seal Dragon Knight!
[14:40] ---
    Go!
[14:41] ---
    Guard!
[14:44] ---
    One more time!
[14:51] ---
    You survived that, huh?
[14:53] ---
    But you've only got two more units left.
[14:57] ---
    That being said, if you summon comrades,
    they'll become prey for my dragons.
[15:02] ---
    So what are you gonna do?
[15:04] ---
    You don't have to go to the trouble
    of crossing a dangerous bridge
[15:07] ---
    right into the enemy's bosom.
[15:10] ---
    What's the point of getting flustered
    and then losing everything?
[15:17] ---
    No. I already have nothing more to lose.
[15:22] ---
    I realized something after losing everything.
[15:25] ---
    I realized that many people
    have protected me up to now.
[15:30] ---
    In that kind world, supported by the
    honor and pride of the Kiba family name,
[15:35] ---
    I had singleness of purpose.
[15:38] ---
    But there are opponents who
    can't be beaten that way.
[15:42] ---
    No matter the risk I'm running,
    I'm moving forward!
[15:48] ---
    Final Turn!
[15:53] ---
    Huh...
[15:54] ---
    Stride Generation!
[15:57] ---
    Aerial Divine Knight, Altmile!
[16:00] ---
    Stride Skill!
[16:02] ---
    I call Pir! +5000 power!
[16:05] ---
    Aerial Divine Knight, Altmile's skill!
[16:08] ---
    All of the front row units get +3000 power!
[16:11] ---
    I superior call a grade 2 unit!
[16:14] ---
    +5000 power!
[16:15] ---
    By gathering two grade 2 units,
    Fragment gets +2000 power!
[16:20] ---
    Pir's skill!
[16:21] ---
    When a grade 2 unit is called, +2000 power!
[16:25] ---
    Benizel's skill!
[16:26] ---
    I call a grade 2 unit from my deck!
[16:29] ---
    +2000 power!
[16:31] ---
    Pir's skill again! +2000 power!
[16:34] ---
    By calling grade 2 comrades,
    he's getting a surge of power.
[16:38] ---
    But if he can't win it
    with all of these grade 2s,
[16:42] ---
    they'll all end up boosting the Seal Dragons
     in the next turn.
[16:46] ---
    This really is the Final Turn!
[16:48] ---
    Even so, he...
[16:51] ---
    He used skills and boosts to add
    to the power in the back row,
[16:54] ---
    so when it comes time to attack...
[17:03] ---
    So it was worth coming across instead of
    running away. You've got tons of power there.
[17:08] ---
    I may not be able to protect my guys.
[17:11] ---
    Aerial Divine Knight, Altmile
    attacks your Vanguard!
[17:17] ---
    Triple drive!
[17:19] ---
    Critical trigger!
[17:26] ---
    There's a future I want to grasp!
[17:30] ---
    In order to take Kiba back,
[17:33] ---
    I'm gonna throw Kiba away!
[17:38] ---
    This is the new me that I pictured!
[18:08] ---
    I win!
[18:14] ---
    Shucks, I lost.

[18:44] ---
    Is it over already?
[18:45] ---
    Uh oh!
[18:46] ---
    It's fine. Look.
[18:49] ---
    No way! That's amazing!
[18:51] ---
    With that amount of treasure,
    you could've won this on your own, Shion!
[18:55] ---
    What'd you do to earn that many points?
[18:59] ---
    I pictured it. That's all.
[19:14] ---
    This makes the second one.
[19:16] ---
    You're all great!
[19:19] ---
    We didn't really do anything. Right?
[19:22] ---
    The majority of this win was thanks to Shion.
[19:26] ---
    Huh? Aren't you happy?
[19:29] ---
    I am happy, but this is just a checkpoint.
[19:31] ---
    I still have a long way to go.
[19:42] ---
    I'll be waiting at Star Gate.
[19:48] ---
    Um...
[19:49] ---
    Don't think, just go.
[20:03] ---
    Star Gate?
[20:05] ---
    What's that?
[20:06] ---
    He and Ibuki are playing the bad guys
    for the Star Gate Branch G Quest.
[20:11] ---
    Ibuki?! He's involved with the G Quest?!
[20:15] ---
    Well, sure. He works for the Association,
[20:19] ---
    and apparently does
    a lot of things behind the scenes.
[20:24] ---
    That guy...
[20:34] ---
    Well, good job. Cheers!
[20:44] ---
    It's like we're adults now!
[20:47] ---
    This is good.
[20:49] ---
    Back when we were elementary school brats,
[20:54] ---
    we never thought we'd be doing anything like this.
[20:56] ---
    You did good work today.
[20:59] ---
    Yeah, well...
[21:02] ---
    What do you think of TRY3?
[21:04] ---
    I like 'em.
[21:06] ---
    It all starts now.
[21:07] ---
    That's what you say, but it seems
    to me you're partial to them.
[21:13] ---
    His eyes told me he wants to get stronger.
[21:21] ---
    Have another, sir?
[21:24] ---
    Drink.
[23:58] ---
    Yo, great job.
[24:00] ---
    It was a match I couldn't afford
    to lose, so I was desperate.
[24:04] ---
    You've changed. You're totally different
    from the impression I got last time.
[24:07] ---
    Really?
[24:09] ---
    It's like that expression, "See a boy
    after three days, and he's changed."
[24:12] ---
    I don't know what's happened,
    but it's had a positive effect.
[24:16] ---
    Thank you.
[24:17] ---
    You've probably been through
    a lot, but don't give in!
