SIGN    G Quest Zoo Branch Now Underway!
[00:07] ---
    What?! I can't participate?!
[00:10] ---
    I even took off from work to join in.
[00:13] ---
    I'm sorry!
[00:15] ---
    They decided this Quest would be done
    with three-member teams...
[00:21] ---
    It can't be helped, Ishida.
[00:23] ---
    It's our fault for not going over the rules.
[00:28] ---
    Then what do we do?!
    Give up on today's Quest?!
[00:32] ---
    In no way!
[00:34] ---
    This is a rare opportunity to fight
    opponents from overseas!
SIGN    Overseas Fighter Special Guest at Zoo Branch G Quest
[00:39] ---
    But we're short one member...
[00:45] ---
    You're saying I can't participate
    unless I'm on a team?
[00:48] ---
    I apologize.
[00:51] ---
    I didn't know...
[00:53] ---
    What should I do?
    I took the day off for this.
[00:59] ---
    Let's go, Luna!
[01:01] ---
    Ishida!
[01:02] ---
    Team up with us so you can
    participate in the Quest.
[01:06] ---
    K-Komoi?
[02:51] ---
    Here we are! Zoo Branch!
[02:54] ---
    Don't drag your heels!
[02:56] ---
    We're gonna get fired up today
    and totally win this thing!
[02:59] ---
    Hey, you don't have to be so hyper.
[03:01] ---
    She really is into it. Maybe she's had
    some kind of change of heart.
SIGN    Turn 9 Zoo Branch
[03:17] ---
    Rumor has it that the Zoo Branch Quest,
    like with Dragon Empire Branch's,
[03:21] ---
    is easy for beginners to participate in.
[03:24] ---
    The Zoo Branch Chief kind of
    had Dragon Empire in mind.
[03:29] ---
    I guess there's sort of a feeling of
    competition between the two branches.
[03:32] ---
    Those guys did say something about it...
[03:37] ---
    Zoo Branch Quest?
    That's gotta be an easy win!
[03:42] ---
    Last week, we had a slamming victory there!
[03:46] ---
    Trinity Dragon is awesome!
[03:50] ---
    Now that you mention it...
[03:52] ---
    ...there's a rumor they invited
    a strong fighter from abroad.
[03:55] ---
    So this may not be all fun and games.
[03:57] ---
    Whoever comes, we'll knock 'em for a loop!
[04:01] ---
    You're full of fighting spirit today.
    Did something happen?
[04:03] ---
    No, not especially.
[04:06] ---
    The third G Quest...
[04:06] ---
    You seem a little different, Tokoha.
[04:09] ---
    Really? Maybe I have changed, a little.
[04:12] ---
    I haven't grabbed on to anything yet.
[04:18] ---
    Thank you for your patience!
[04:45] ---
    The blessings of the earth,
    flowing with nature!
[04:48] ---
    Make the most of our quest today!
[04:55] ---
    That's the Zoo Branch Chief...
[04:59] ---
    She's unique, huh?
[05:00] ---
    All right. And now we'll start with the
    preliminary round for all of our participants.
[05:06] ---
    The preliminary round event...
[05:08] ---
    ...will be determined by
    spinning the roulette wheel!
[05:11] ---
    Only one team will make it through this
    preliminary round and go on to the final round!
SIGN    Comedy Duo
    Karaoke
    Target
    Sacrifice
    Cooking
    Animals
[05:15] ---
    In the final round, they'll fight a
    formidable opponent with a Zoo connection!
[05:19] ---
    If they win that, they win the Quest!
[05:21] ---
    So we really have to win twice
    to get a victory.
[05:24] ---
    And now, the Branch Chief
    will decide on the preliminary round event!
SIGN    Cooking
[05:49] ---
    A Vanguard cooking battle!
[05:59] ---
    The team that makes the tastiest dish
    using pineapple as an ingredient
[06:03] ---
    will make it past this round!
[06:05] ---
    C-Cooking?!
[06:07] ---
    What the heck is that?!
[06:09] ---
    We don't get to fight?!
[06:11] ---
    Calm down, Ishida! We have to
    make it through the preliminary first.
[06:15] ---
    But come on!
[06:17] ---
    Ishida?
[06:18] ---
    Oh, you guys are here, too?
[06:22] ---
    Is that...
[06:24] ---
    Luna!
[06:26] ---
    Shh!
[06:38] ---
    And now, we provide you
[06:40] ---
    with fresh ingredients from Zoo Branch's
[06:42] ---
    proud Neo Nectar natural farm.
[06:49] ---
    You have one hour here!
[06:51] ---
    However...
[06:54] ---
    ...Megacolony combatants
    are stationed everywhere
[06:58] ---
    to protect the ingredients.
[07:01] ---
    Drive them off by fighting,
     and get the ingredients you need!
[07:07] ---
    So we gotta fight, gather ingredients,
    and then cook with 'em, right?
[07:12] ---
    If we don't narrow our focus
    and capture key ingredients,
[07:14] ---
    we may not be able to
    make a decent dish.
[07:18] ---
    Since then, I've been
    fighting Am once in a while,
[07:21] ---
    but I never win.
[07:23] ---
    I came here today for secret training.
[07:26] ---
    Huh. Am must be really strong.
[07:29] ---
    She is. But I won't give up!
[07:32] ---
    Now that's some real ambition!
[07:34] ---
    Let's do our very Vanguard best today!
[07:36] ---
    Right!
[07:40] ---
    Chrono?
[07:44] ---
    It's nothin'. First thing, we've definitely
    gotta win this preliminary round!
[07:48] ---
    It ain't gonna be as easy as all that.
[07:56] ---
    And now, start!
[08:06] ---
    A premium melon!
[08:09] ---
    I've got wagyu sirloin!
[08:12] ---
    Gimme that!
[08:17] ---
    Hey, if we don't hurry too, the good
    ingredients will be snatched up.
[08:21] ---
    No, wait.
[08:24] ---
    If we're dazzled by the
    premium ingredients alone,
[08:27] ---
    we'll lose this quest.
[08:29] ---
    Look. The supply of ingredients here
    doesn't include seasonings.
[08:34] ---
    Let's look for the seasonings.
[08:37] ---
    After that, we'll carefully select
    the main ingredient, the pineapple.
[08:40] ---
    All right! We'll win this way!
[08:43] ---
    Let's go, Tokoha! There's no time to waste!
[08:47] ---
    With Gauntlet Buster Dragon's skill,
    I retire Machining Mantis!
[08:52] ---
    +3000 power!
[08:53] ---
    And an extra critical!
[08:55] ---
    You beat me!
[08:57] ---
    All right! I got a melon!
[09:00] ---
    Stride Generation!
[09:04] ---
    Chronodragon Nextage!
[09:09] ---
    Anyway, I'll win and go forward!
[09:11] ---
    Right now, that's the only thing to do!
[09:15] ---
    I'm not letting anyone have this tuna head!
[09:20] ---
    I'll take this one!
[09:22] ---
    Here I go!
[09:24] ---
    Stride Generation!
[09:27] ---
    Dragon Masquerade, Harri!
[09:30] ---
    Stride skill!
[09:32] ---
    I use Magia to call
    Darkside Princess from my Soul!
[09:39] ---
    I attack your Vanguard!
[09:44] ---
    With its skill,
    Darkside Princess returns to the Soul.
[09:48] ---
    Dragon Masquerade, Harri
    attacks your Vanguard!
[09:54] ---
    With its skill, Masquerade Bunny
    goes to the Soul.
[10:02] ---
    From the Soul, I call Darkside Princess,
    Happiness Collector,
[10:05] ---
    and Masquerade Bunny!
[10:09] ---
    On top of that...
[10:14] ---
    ...I put two of my opponent's
    rear-guards into the Soul!
[10:26] ---
    Darkside Princess attacks!
[10:32] ---
    I... I lost!
[10:35] ---
    I did it!
[10:36] ---
    Th-That was brilliant.
[10:40] ---
    It's mine!
[10:41] ---
    No, it's mine!
[10:43] ---
    You wanna step outside?
[10:44] ---
    I'm not giving in!
[10:46] ---
    That's my line!
[10:58] ---
    My rear-guard attacks!
[11:00] ---
    Perfect guard!
[11:02] ---
    I attack your Vanguard!
[11:04] ---
    No guard!
[11:16] ---
    It looks like all of our teams
    are done cooking.
[11:22] ---
    Then it's time for the taste test!
[11:29] ---
    This is good!
[11:32] ---
    The use of spice is perfect, too.
[11:34] ---
    What's the secret ingredient? Oyster sauce?
[11:37] ---
    That and ketchup.
[11:39] ---
    That's so like you.
[11:41] ---
    All that cooking for myself
    hasn't been for nothin'.
[11:50] ---
    Um...
[11:52] ---
    Is this the dish?
[11:54] ---
    Yes!
[12:04] ---
    And now I'll announce the results!
[12:07] ---
    The team that made it past the preliminary
    stage and is going on to the final round is...
[12:13] ---
    ...Team TRY3!
[12:24] ---
    And now, let's have our guest come out!
[12:29] ---
    The Great Nature natural! The president
    of Genius Communication Technology!
[12:35] ---
    Christopher Lo!
[12:37] ---
    He's come from Singapore to fight here!
[12:39] ---
    Christopher Lo?
[12:42] ---
    He's an Asian top-class fighter.
[12:44] ---
    He's just a little older than us.
[12:50] ---
    So you guys are TRY3,
    the team everyone's talking about.
[12:53] ---
    You know about us?
[12:56] ---
    Yeah, this and that.
[13:04] ---
    From here on out, it's my world.
[13:08] ---
    If you stand in front of me,
    I'll crush you with all my might.
[13:12] ---
    So be prepared when you come after me.
[13:18] ---
    It'll be my pleasure.
[13:23] ---
    And now, we'll have a short break
    before the final match!
[13:29] [SONG] ---
    Vangaro Goods
[13:29] ---
    Genius Communication Technology is top class
    globally in the field of communication technology.
[13:35] ---
    FICA also uses that technology.
[13:39] ---
    Huh...
[13:41] ---
    While Christopher Lo
    was studying at SIT,
[13:46] ---
    he and a friend launched G Tech,
[13:49] ---
    and he achieved an excellent record
    as a fighter throughout Asia.
[13:53] ---
    He's literally an elite genius.
[13:55] ---
    So half-baked playing isn't gonna cut it.
[13:58] ---
    But if we don't win, we can't go forward.
[14:01] ---
    Right. So...
[14:04] ---
    Grade rock scissors paper,
    show me what you got!
[14:07] ---
    I win!
[14:09] ---
    So I'm the representative of TRY3.
[14:13] ---
    You better win! If you have a
    weak fight, I won't forgive you!
[14:18] ---
    I've decided on a goal, too.
[14:20] ---
    So I can't stay where I am now.
[14:23] ---
    Yo!
[14:25] ---
    Congrats on getting to the final.
[14:28] ---
    Thank you.
[14:30] ---
    Huh? Where are Luna and Komoi?
[14:33] ---
    Actually, um...
[14:37] ---
    No matter what form it is,
[14:39] ---
    this is the fruit of our efforts
    and imaginations.
[14:43] ---
    It's unforgivable to just leave it!
[14:49] ---
    Shingo!
[14:52] ---
    So he's in the first-aid room now.
[14:54] ---
    R-Really?
[14:56] ---
    That aside, you guys got us.
[14:59] ---
    You blew us away.
[15:01] ---
    I'm pretty confident in cooking, too.
[15:05] ---
    With that?
[15:07] ---
    But I don't necessarily wanna get better at cooking.
[15:12] ---
    If you mean the fight, it should be fine.
    After all, you beat me.
[15:16] ---
    Excuse me. I'm the one
    who's going to be in the final round.
[15:21] ---
    Sorry 'bout that.
[15:23] ---
    Well, you guys should be able to do it.
    This one and the others after it.
[15:28] ---
    Although it sounds like
    things are complicated for you.
[15:32] ---
    I don't know if I should be saying this,
[15:35] ---
    but I'm cheering for you guys.
[15:37] ---
    Naoki...
[15:39] ---
    You wanna get strong, don't you?
[15:42] ---
    So did I.
[15:44] ---
    A long time ago...
[15:46] ---
    I wanted to get stronger. Otherwise,
    I couldn't protect what was dear to me.
[15:51] ---
    Even though I knew that, I kept getting reminded
    at every turn that I was out of my league.
[15:57] ---
    I felt desperate. I struggled.
[16:02] ---
    'Cause the guys on Cray
    wouldn't wait forever.
[16:07] ---
    Cray?
[16:08] ---
    Oh, I see. You guys don't know.
[16:11] ---
    The planet Cray ain't just
    part of the card game.
[16:16] ---
    It actually exists.
[16:20] ---
    I know what you must think when
    I spring it on you like that.
[16:23] ---
    For details on it... let's see...
[16:27] ---
    Ask your "mentor," Kamui.
[16:31] ---
    Anyway, you got a fight
    right in front of you. Be sure to win it!
[16:47] ---
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[16:52] ---
    The final match of the Zoo Branch Quest!
[16:55] ---
    Tokoha has completed her first stride,
[16:58] ---
    and the damage is 3 to 4!
[17:01] ---
    Tokoha is one step ahead!
[17:04] ---
    It's gone as I expected up to now. Not bad.
[17:08] ---
    But since you're standing in front of me,
[17:11] ---
    that level doesn't cut it.
[17:15] ---
    Stride Generation!
[17:21] ---
    Omniscience Dragon, Cath Palug!
[17:26] ---
    This is my test.
[17:28] ---
    Anyone who can't answer has to leave.
[17:33] ---
    I call Crayon Tiger, Coiling Duckbill,
[17:35] ---
    and Tick Tock Flamingo!
[17:38] ---
    Geograph attacks your Vanguard.
[17:41] ---
    With Cath Palug's skill,
    Geograph gets +4000 power!
[17:47] ---
    No guard!
[17:52] ---
    Crayon Tiger attacks your Vanguard!
[17:55] ---
    Again, with Cath Palug's skill,
[17:58] ---
    Geograph gets +4000 power.
[18:01] ---
    On top of that,
    Crayon Tiger's skill activates!
[18:05] ---
    Geograph gets +4000 power.
[18:07] ---
    Then Geograph stands.
[18:10] ---
    This is amazing!
[18:12] ---
    Every time a rear-guard attacks,
    Cath Palug powers up a unit!
[18:17] ---
    It's powered up a rear-guard
    and made Crayon Tiger stand!
[18:21] ---
    Geograph Giant is steadily powering up.
[18:25] ---
    Tokoha...
[18:29] ---
    Guard!
[18:33] ---
    Cath Palug attacks your Vanguard.
[18:35] ---
    Perfect guard!
[18:39] ---
    My test isn't over yet!
[18:42] ---
    Triple drive!
[18:45] ---
    I give all the effects to Geograph!
[18:50] ---
    Geograph attacks!
[18:52] ---
    With Cath Palug's skill, it gets +4000 power!
[18:57] ---
    Guard! And intercept!
[19:00] ---
    She held out!
[19:04] ---
    It looks like you've staved off flunking.
[19:08] ---
    My turn's over, and Geograph retires.
[19:11] ---
    Cath Palug, Crayon Tiger.
[19:13] ---
    With Duckbill's skill,
    I draw a total of five cards.
[19:18] ---
    Tokoha has protected herself somehow,
[19:21] ---
    but now Chris has nine cards in his hand!
[19:23] ---
    Will the attacks in the next turn go through?
[19:28] ---
    I'm going to beat you!
[19:32] ---
    Stride Generation!
[19:34] ---
    Dream-spinning Ranunculus, Ahsha!
[19:39] ---
    Ranunculus Flower Maiden Ahsha's
    stride skill! I call Pia!
[19:43] ---
    +2000 power!
[19:45] ---
    I call one more Pia with
    Dream-spinning Ranunculus, Ahsha's skill!
[19:49] ---
    +2000 power!
[19:51] ---
    Also, the front row units get +5000 power!
[19:56] ---
    I'm going to win all of the G Quests.
[19:59] ---
    I made a deal with my parents to let me
    go abroad after graduation if I can manage that.
[20:06] ---
    Pia's skill!
[20:08] ---
    All of the Pia units gets +3000 power!
[20:11] ---
    The remaining Pia units use the same skill!
[20:14] ---
    All of the Pia units power up!
[20:16] ---
    W-What's this?! Tokoha with
    a tidal wave of power-ups!
[20:21] ---
    I've decided not to stand still anymore!
[20:23] ---
    I'm going to be myself
    and just plow straight ahead!
[20:29] ---
    Can you surpass me like that?
[20:32] ---
    I will surpass you! You'll see!
[20:35] ---
    Pia boosts!
[20:39] ---
    Gladiolus attacks your Vanguard!
[20:41] ---
    She's grabbed onto something.
[20:44] ---
    Shion.... and Tokoha too.
[20:48] ---
    Everyone's moving forward. So what about me?
[20:53] ---
    One day isn't good enough.
[20:55] ---
    In order to go forward, I've gotta find it!
[20:57] ---
    The future that I should grab hold of...
[21:00] ---
    Maybe that's the meaning of
    the mystery he left to me.
[21:05] ---
    Pia boosts! Ahsha attacks your Vanguard!
[21:11] ---
    No guard.
[21:13] ---
    Triple drive! Here's where I win it!
[21:19] ---
    This is the future I've grasped!
[21:34] ---
    She did it!
[21:36] ---
    The champion of the Zoo Branch Quest,
    by defeating Christopher Lo...
[21:41] ---
    ...is Tokoha in Team TRY3!
[21:47] ---
    Yes! Tokoha!
[23:24] ---
    We present medals to the winning members
    of TRY3 as a mark of their victory!
[23:32] ---
    The precious medals!
[23:35] ---
    Who are you people?!
[23:38] ---
    We're the criminal association, Megacolony!
[23:41] ---
    Our aim is world domination,
     and taking over this branch is the first step!
[23:47] ---
    The true Zoo Branch Quest has just begun!
[23:57] ---
    You're really smart, right, Chris?
[24:00] ---
    I wouldn't go that far.
[24:01] ---
    But I don't mind learning things.
[24:04] ---
    Really?
[24:05] ---
    I'm not really good at studying.
[24:08] ---
    Just nibbling away at something
    doesn't count as studying.
[24:11] ---
    Gaining something through various experiences
    is important for learning too.
[24:15] ---
    I see. I never thought of it that way before.
[24:18] ---
    I went through a lot a long time ago.
    And that's what I learned back then.
