[00:09] Spoken
    Miwa!
[00:14] Spoken
    Miwa, are you all right?
[00:18] Spoken
    Sorry...
[00:22] Spoken
    What is this...?
[00:25] Spoken
    Who are those people?!
[00:53] Spoken
    Darn it!
[02:53] Spoken
    I'm late!
[02:54] Spoken
    Reiji and Eiji talked my ear off!
[02:58] Spoken
    Sorry, but I can't get you guys
     involved this time!
[03:06] Spoken
    Kai?
SIGN    The Leader, Kai
[03:20] Spoken
    "Cuttle Knife"?
[03:22] Spoken
    Quatre Knights.
[03:23] Spoken
    So they beat you guys?!
[03:26] Spoken
    And told you to forget Brother Aichi?!
[03:29] Spoken
    Your voice is really loud.
[03:31] Spoken
    My body hurts too, but my head is pounding.
[03:35] Spoken
    S-Sorry.
[03:39] Spoken
    Shin...
[03:40] Spoken
    Yes?
[03:42] Spoken
    Do you know Philip Neve and Olivier Gaillard?
[03:46] Spoken
    Well, of course.
[03:48] Spoken
    They've both won the Vanguard
    Europe Circuit a number of times.
SIGN    Fighters in the Spotlight  for the Europe Circuit!
[03:53] Spoken
    They're world-class fighters!
[03:56] Spoken
    They've been in the spotlight
    since their debut battle.
[03:58] Spoken
    Their fights at last year's tournament
    were especially splendid.
[04:01] Spoken
    Their decks are constructed brilliantly...
[04:03] Spoken
    Enough.
[04:04] Spoken
    Huh? But I can give you
    more detailed information on them.
[04:08] Spoken
    We're fine!
[04:10] Spoken
    Okay.
[04:12] Spoken
    European champions...
[04:15] Spoken
    No wonder. My opponent must
    have been one of them, too.
[04:19] Spoken
    He was a creepy guy.
[04:22] Spoken
    Searching for Aichi means
    fighting them, doesn't it?
[04:31] Spoken
    Why are you all acting so wimpy?!
[04:34] Spoken
    Remember, we're the Asia Circuit champions!
[04:38] Spoken
    They're different from all the fights
    we've had up to now.
[04:41] ---
    Huh?
[04:42] Spoken
    Inside of those barriers they use,
[04:44] Spoken
    the loser actually receives all the
    damage physically to their bodies.
[04:52] Spoken
    No way... you, too?
[04:55] Spoken
    Yeah. It felt like I was
    really being burned alive.
[05:03] Spoken
    Darn it!
[05:19] Spoken
    I'll keep appearing before you.
[05:34] Spoken
    Kai!
[05:35] Spoken
    Kai...
[05:37] Spoken
    You're not thinking about going
    after them alone, are you?
[05:41] Spoken
    I started this battle.
[05:45] Spoken
    I can't afford to involve you guys
    any more than I already have.
[05:50] Spoken
    You're gonna leave us behind?!
[05:56] Spoken
    Wait!
[05:58] Spoken
    Aren't you getting it all wrong?
[06:04] Spoken
    You haven't changed, have you?
[06:07] Spoken
    Get out of my way.
[06:09] Spoken
    Forget it.
[06:10] Spoken
    If you wanna get by, you're
    gonna have to beat me first!
[06:27] Spoken
    A fight between Kai and Kamui.
[06:29] Spoken
    It's been a long time.
[06:33] Spoken
    Stand up the Vanguard!
[06:33] Spoken
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[06:38] Spoken
    Energyraizer!
[06:41] Spoken
    Advance Party Seeker, File!
[06:45] Spoken
    Has Kamui ever beaten Kai?
[06:49] Spoken
    No.
[06:51] Spoken
    Then why...?
[06:52] Spoken
    The great Kamui rides Tankraizer!
[06:57] Spoken
    Ride the Vanguard!
[06:59] Spoken
    Flail Seeker, Isbuzzard!
[07:05] Spoken
    Call!
[07:06] Spoken
    Attack!
[07:11] Spoken
    Next! I got a critical trigger!
[07:19] Spoken
    The great Kamui rides
    Ultimate Rizer Dual-flare!
[07:27] Spoken
    Call!
[07:29] Spoken
    Attack!
[07:38] Spoken
    Kamui ain't bad!
[07:40] Spoken
    There must be something he's dying
    to tell Kai right now.
[07:47] Spoken
    Yeah. Us, too.
[07:51] Spoken
    Stand and draw.
[07:53] Spoken
    Stand up, my avatar!
[07:56] Spoken
    The true friend inside my soul!
    My mate!
[08:01] Spoken
    Ride the Vanguard!
[08:06] Spoken
    Blaster Blade!
[08:10] Spoken
    Mate... huh?
[08:15] Spoken
    When I heard you were searching
    for mates, I was glad.
[08:21] Spoken
    After all, you used to be the kind of guy
[08:23] Spoken
    who never gave a single thought
    about his friends' feelings.
[08:29] Spoken
    It's simple.
[08:31] Spoken
    The weakest player amongst
    the four of us gets left out.
[08:34] Spoken
    That's all.
[08:36] Spoken
    Kai, what do you think
    a teammate really is?!
[08:40] Spoken
    I have no interest in that.
[08:42] Spoken
    No matter what I think, it doesn't affect
    the outcome, does it?
[08:46] Spoken
    You were the kind of guy who'd decide things
    on his own and go off on his own.
[08:54] Spoken
    But you finally started
    to trust your teammates.
[09:00] Spoken
    To take down the enemy
    together with your teammates.
[09:02] Spoken
    That's the kind of passionate guy you became.
[09:09] Spoken
    But now, you're back to deciding things
    by yourself and goin' off on your own?
[09:18] Spoken
    That's right.
[09:22] Spoken
    That's not right!
[09:24] Spoken
    The great Kamui doesn't...
[09:26] Spoken
    I don't wanna let you go by yourself!
[09:33] ---
    Then...
[09:34] Spoken
    ...I'll have to force my way through!
[09:36] Spoken
    Blaster Blade attacks!
[09:42] Spoken
    Heal trigger!
[09:45] Spoken
    Cynric!
[09:46] Spoken
    Guard!
[09:48] Spoken
    I won't let you do that.
[09:50] Spoken
    If you go alone right now, you won't change!
[09:57] Spoken
    Stand and draw!
[09:59] Spoken
    A flash of light that pierces
    the darkness of space!
[10:02] Spoken
    The great Kamui rides
    Ultimate Rizer Mega-flare!
[10:14] Spoken
    Mega Flare?
[10:16] Spoken
    Cool!
[10:18] Spoken
    It looks like he beefed up his deck.
[10:21] Spoken
    Call!
[10:23] Spoken
    It's not like you don't
    trust our strength. Right?
[10:30] Spoken
    Katsuragi... No, Kamui...
[10:34] Spoken
    No matter what you say, I have no
    intention of taking you guys with me!
[10:40] Spoken
    I ain't buyin' that!
[10:55] Spoken
    Wingraizer!
[11:04] Spoken
    The next turn...
[11:05] Spoken
    Yeah...
[11:06] Spoken
    Next?
[11:09] Spoken
    Kai's Legion...
[11:11] Spoken
    If you're comin', come on!
[11:13] Spoken
    But I ain't lettin' you go alone!
[11:17] Spoken
    Definitely not!
[11:20] Spoken
    Kamui...
[11:38] Spoken
    I stand and draw.
[11:42] Spoken
    Open, haloed gate!
[11:44] Spoken
    Silver wings, fly down!
[11:48] Spoken
    Ride the Vanguard!
[11:59] Spoken
    Seeker, Thing Saver Dragon!
[12:02] Spoken
    I ain't lettin' you go.
[12:03] Spoken
    I ain't lettin' you go!
[12:05] Spoken
    Period!
[12:08] Spoken
    Kamui, you always have
    your teammates in mind.
[12:16] Spoken
    But that's exactly why
    I've decided to go alone!
[12:22] Spoken
    Call!
[12:24] Spoken
    Soulblast!
[12:29] Spoken
    He sent Blaster Blade to the Drop Zone.
[12:33] Spoken
    Here it comes.
[12:35] Spoken
    One ray of light, extending out
    into the despair of oblivion...
[12:39] Spoken
    The light of courage that connects
    me and my mate, even in the darkness!
[12:45] Spoken
    Seek the mate!
[12:55] Spoken
    Line up, avatar of my soul.
[12:58] Spoken
    Legion!
[13:04] Spoken
    In the beginning, this was
    a thing between me and Aichi.
[13:09] Spoken
    No matter what,
    I have to search for Aichi.
[13:14] Spoken
    I have to see him.
[13:17] Spoken
    With that strong feeling, I helped
    you guys regain Aichi's memories,
[13:22] Spoken
    which had been stolen from you.
[13:25] Spoken
    So what are you trying to say?
[13:28] Spoken
    I didn't know.
[13:30] Spoken
    I didn't know you guys would get
    drawn into a battle like this.
[13:36] Spoken
    I don't want you guys to get hurt
    any more than you have already.
[13:41] Spoken
    If anyone gets hurt, it should be me alone.
[13:47] Spoken
    Kai...
[14:13] Spoken
    I'll search for Aichi alone.
[14:17] Spoken
    Just me and Blaster Blade,
    who responded to my feelings.
[14:28] Spoken
    From the beginning,
[14:30] Spoken
    you guys should never have had
    anything to do with my atonement!
[14:36] Spoken
    Don't be ridiculous!
[14:38] Spoken
    Guard!
[14:46] Spoken
    Do you intend to keep fighting?
[14:48] Spoken
    Kai.
[14:50] Spoken
    Don't make light of us!
[14:55] Spoken
    Your apartment, your basement, I don't care!
[15:00] Spoken
    You ain't the only one who
    wants to meet Brother Aichi!
[15:04] Spoken
    I wanna see him again, too!
[15:08] Spoken
    That's why I remembered!
[15:10] Spoken
    That's why I'm fightin'!
[15:14] Spoken
    That's right. I wanna meet Aichi, too!
[15:18] Spoken
    Me, too.
[15:20] Spoken
    Also me!
[15:25] Spoken
    Don't make me keep sayin' it!
[15:28] Spoken
    You don't get to decide somethin'
    like that all by yourself!
[15:32] Spoken
    Picture it!
[15:34] Spoken
    Picturing things becomes my strength.
[15:38] Spoken
    Right? Kai...
[15:40] Spoken
    Call!
[15:42] Spoken
    Here I go!
[15:43] Spoken
    Seek mate!
[15:57] Spoken
    Dark crimson magma
    lying deep underground
[16:01] Spoken
    and blue sky surrounding
    this planet in the heavens!
[16:05] Spoken
    Now, awaken and line up
    to protect the home planet!
[16:10] Spoken
    The great Kamui's Legion!
[16:17] Spoken
    Kamui has Legion?!
[16:19] Spoken
    Awesome!
[16:20] Spoken
    If it loses, it gets even stronger.
[16:23] Spoken
    That's just like Kamui.
[16:28] Spoken
    See? Like I thought, you weren't
    really taking me seriously.
[16:32] Spoken
    Listen, Kai. Not only you, but all of us
    mates are tryin' to get stronger!
[16:41] Spoken
    Besides, if it's to search for Brother Aichi,
[16:45] Spoken
    I ain't afraid at all of gettin' hurt!
[16:50] Spoken
    That's right!
[16:52] Spoken
    If it's for Aichi's sake,
    I'm gonna get stronger!
[16:57] Spoken
    I don't want to just run
    away like this either.
[17:01] Spoken
    Aichi, you, us...
    we're all mates, am I right?
[17:06] Spoken
    That's the way it is.
[17:14] Spoken
    Next! Dual-flare!
[17:19] Spoken
    Guard!
[17:21] Spoken
    Go! The great Kamui's Legion!
[17:28] Spoken
    With Mega-flare's skill,
    they get an extra critical!
[17:33] Spoken
    Kai!
[17:42] Spoken
    I...
[17:43] Spoken
    I can't let my mates be exposed to danger!
[17:47] Spoken
    That's what I decided!
[17:50] Spoken
    Become an inferno! Judgment!
[18:00] Spoken
    What is this?!
[18:22] Spoken
    Perfect guard!
[18:24] Spoken
    No...
[18:26] Spoken
    It ain't only Legion.
[18:31] Spoken
    What?!
[18:34] Spoken
    The great Kamui's Vanguard has a
    rear-guard attached that'll stand up.
[18:40] Spoken
    And these are the cards that
    I got from my drive check.
[18:52] Spoken
    The Vanguard can't fight alone!
[18:55] Spoken
    It needs Legion Mate and rear-guards!
[18:58] Spoken
    They're only the strongest
    when you get 'em all together!
[19:03] Spoken
    Kamui...
[19:05] Spoken
    Take this, Kai!
[19:07] Spoken
    Knockout blow! Full Throttle Cannon!
[19:26] Spoken
    He did it!
[19:33] Spoken
    I'm happy.
[19:36] Spoken
    Kai, I know it means you
    were lookin' out for us.
[19:45] Spoken
    It's not easy sayin' this, but I admit it.
[19:49] Spoken
    You're our Vanguard.
[19:53] Spoken
    So don't forget.
[19:56] Spoken
    You, the Vanguard, got us rear-guards,
[20:01] Spoken
    who get right back up again
    no matter how many times we fall.
[20:05] Spoken
    Kamui...
[20:07] Spoken
    Awesome! You beat Kai!
[20:11] Spoken
    Darn it! I can't lose either!
[20:15] Spoken
    Kai! I'm gonna get a lot stronger, too!
[20:19] Spoken
    You watch me!
[20:20] Spoken
    I refuse to be left behind, too!
[20:25] Spoken
    Today, he got all the glory, huh?
[20:27] Spoken
    Legion is so cool!
[20:30] Spoken
    I know, right?
[20:32] Spoken
    I don't mind either.
[20:34] Spoken
    Quitting after a loss would be frustrating.
[20:37] Spoken
    Get me involved up to my neck.
    We're mates, right?
[20:49] Spoken
    Kai!
[20:54] Spoken
    I said it earlier, but with
    our opponents this time,
[20:58] Spoken
    you can't fight unless
    you're prepared for danger.
[21:04] ---
    So...
[21:06] Spoken
    ...please...
[21:07] Spoken
    ...fight with me!
[21:12] Spoken
    You don't gotta ask!
[21:14] Spoken
    Yeah!
[21:15] Spoken
    Of course we will.
[21:17] Spoken
    Yep!
[21:23] Spoken
    Well, better get the pay slips set up...
[21:28] Spoken
    No, no!
[21:30] Spoken
    I'm grateful for your help, but...
[21:35] Spoken
    All right! Now that that's settled,
     let's not waste time.
[21:39] Spoken
    Everyone? You're leaving?
[21:41] Spoken
    That's right. All together.
[21:45] Spoken
    See you later!
[22:03] Spoken
    I don't believe they'll back down now.
[22:13] Spoken
    The next move is necessary.
[23:56] Spoken
    Everyone, let's all fight together! Please!
[23:59] Spoken
    Kai's bein' upfront about his feelings!
[24:01] Spoken
    Kamui, don't get cocky.
[24:03] Spoken
    Kai's an upperclassman, so
    you owe him some respect.
[24:06] Spoken
    R-Right!
[24:08] Spoken
    Never mind. We're all equals here.
[24:10] Spoken
    You're my rival and mate!
[24:12] Spoken
    Next time: Introducing Great Daikaiser!
SIGN    Introducing Great Daikaiser
[24:15] Spoken
    Everyone, I'm counting on you!
[24:16] Spoken
    Yeah!
[24:17] Spoken
    Although it still feels like you're
    lookin' down on us a little...
[24:20] Spoken
    He's not used to it yet.
    It has been a long time...
