[00:07] Spoken
    Emi, good luck!
[00:08] Spoken
    Go!
[00:10] Spoken
    Here I go!
[00:12] Spoken
    I ride Duo Temptation, Reit!
[00:17] Spoken
    I haven't seen that card before!
[00:19] Spoken
    Ooh! That's a triple-rare card
    from Divas Duet!
[00:23] Spoken
    It's really strong, you know?
[00:27] Spoken
    It's cute, isn't it?
[00:29] Spoken
    Ah... that's what you care about?
[00:32] Spoken
    Um... is it a mistake to choose cards
    just because they're cute?
[00:38] Spoken
    No, not at all. The most important thing
    about Vanguard is to have enjoyable fights.
[00:43] Spoken
    Besides, if you think the cards are cute,
[00:46] Spoken
    don't you feel like they'll do a
    good job for you when you need them?
[00:51] Spoken
    You said it!
[00:53] Spoken
    Yep!
[00:55] Spoken
    Come to think of it, Emi and Mai,
    what made you first start playing Vanguard?
[01:01] Spoken
    Emi recommended it to me.
[01:04] Spoken
    I see.
[01:05] Spoken
    Then how about you, Emi?
[01:07] Spoken
    I... Um... Uh...
[01:13] Spoken
    I think it was because
    somebody in my family played it, but...
[01:18] Spoken
    Was it my mom...?
[01:22] Spoken
    It seems that I might have forgotten!
[03:00] Spoken
    They're back?
[03:04] Spoken
    We're home!
[03:06] Spoken
    How did it go?
[03:08] Spoken
    I punished him, of course. Quite a bit.
[03:12] Spoken
    I got donuts!
[03:15] Spoken
    That's not what I'm asking.
[03:18] Spoken
    Rati fulfilled her duty admirably.
[03:21] Spoken
    You can set your mind at ease.
[03:23] Spoken
    Which one should I have first?
[03:26] Spoken
    Then we've warned Toshiki Kai
    and all of his comrades.
[03:31] Spoken
    Gaillard, you know it too, don't you?
[03:34] Spoken
    Our warnings at this level won't stop them.
[03:39] Spoken
    Ishida, the boy I fought,
    received Judgment,
[03:44] Spoken
    but he's burning with more
    fighting spirit than ever now.
[03:47] Spoken
    Neve, you look like you're happy about that.
[03:51] Spoken
    What are you talking about, girl?
[03:53] Spoken
    I agree with you, Neve.
[03:56] Spoken
    Serra...
[03:57] Spoken
    I warned them twice.
[04:02] Spoken
    But even though both of
    them were hit plenty hard,
[04:05] Spoken
    it didn't seem like their
    spirits were broken.
[04:08] Spoken
    That's right. I don't think
    Misakin gave up, either.
[04:13] Spoken
    How about you, Gaillard?
[04:21] Spoken
    I meant to instill terror into him.
[04:24] Spoken
    But he hasn't given up.
[04:27] Spoken
    No matter how many times they
    get up again,
[04:31] Spoken
    we'll just keep beating
    them until nothing is left.
[04:34] Spoken
    See, you are having a good time!
[04:38] Spoken
    It's because Neve loves fights
    to the roots of his soul.
[04:42] Spoken
    Still, Gaillard...
[04:44] Spoken
    I know.
[04:46] Spoken
    Now that they're fully aware of our existence,
     it's actually given them confidence.
[04:52] Spoken
    They think they're on the right track.
[04:56] Spoken
    But no matter how confident they are,
[05:00] Spoken
    it would be impossible for them
    to set foot in this sanctuary.
[05:03] Spoken
    I hope you're right...
[05:07] Spoken
    What do you mean, Serra?
[05:10] Spoken
    Certainly, there's no way they'll beat us.
[05:14] Spoken
    However, we're not the only ones
    who possess important information, are we?
SIGN    Ren's Promise
[05:32] Spoken
    Annihilate them, my avatar!
[05:35] Spoken
    I ride Blaster Dark Revenger "Abyss"!
[05:40] Spoken
    Attack!
[05:42] Spoken
    No guard.
[05:49] Spoken
    Suddenly 4 damage?!
[05:51] Spoken
    He got a critical trigger just
    when he needed it!
[05:55] Spoken
    As always, Ren Suzugamori...
[06:02] Spoken
    Kai, why did you come back here?
[06:06] Spoken
    Because you think I know something?
[06:09] Spoken
    I told you. It's about the Quatre Knights.
[06:16] Spoken
    The Link Joker invasion.
[06:18] Spoken
    The advance party fought
    against the Quatre Knights.
[06:23] Spoken
    That's right.
[06:24] Spoken
    And you were also a fighter who fought
    against Link Joker to the end.
[06:30] Spoken
    So it wouldn't be a surprise
    if you knew something.
[06:35] Spoken
    Scary, scary...
[06:37] Spoken
    All I did was fight, and you
    treat me like a criminal?
[06:40] Spoken
    Kai...
[06:41] Spoken
    Feign ignorance all you want.
     You can't fool me!
[06:45] Spoken
    Here I go, Ren!
[06:46] Spoken
    Open, haloed gate!
[06:48] Spoken
    Silver wings, fly down!
[06:51] Spoken
    Ride the Vanguard!
[06:54] Spoken
    Seeker, Thing Saver Dragon!
[06:59] Spoken
    Huh. So this is your Royal Paladin dragon?
[07:06] Spoken
    Thing Saver Dragon...
[07:08] Spoken
    This Vanguard ties together
    the bond between me and Aichi.
[07:13] Spoken
    Ren, after I win this fight,
    you are going to talk.
[07:18] Spoken
    About the Quatre Knights and
    everything you know about Aichi!
[07:23] Spoken
    Thing Saver attacks!
[07:32] Spoken
    Now they've got the same damage!
[07:34] Spoken
    Every time I see those two fight,
    it's always won by a hair's breadth.
[07:38] Spoken
    I feel like I'm gonna forget to breathe!
[07:40] Spoken
    Kai, are you insinuating that I'm
    a member of the Quatre Knights?
[07:46] Spoken
    No, you're not.
[07:48] Spoken
    But I think you know something about them!
[07:52] Spoken
    Still, I'm picking up a
    different atmosphere here
[07:56] Spoken
    than I did with Gaillard and the rest
    of the Quatre Knights I've heard about.
[08:01] Spoken
    Gut instinct, is it?
[08:03] Spoken
    As always, I can't underestimate you.
[08:07] Spoken
    But that's exactly why I
    don't want to lose to you.
[08:14] Spoken
    Screaming despair in the chaotic silence!
[08:17] Spoken
    Give me the power of
    darkness from the shadows
[08:20] Spoken
    through which
    not even visions can be seen!
[08:22] Spoken
    I ride...
[08:24] Spoken
    ...Revenger, Phantom Blaster "Abyss"!
[08:31] Spoken
    Phantom Blaster...
[08:33] Spoken
    Does it bring back memories?
[08:35] Spoken
    Very painful memories.
[08:38] Spoken
    Oh, my.
[08:40] Spoken
    You make it sound as if I've been
    victimizing you all this time.
[08:44] Spoken
    True...
[08:46] Spoken
    Attack!
[08:47] Spoken
    Perfect guard!
[08:50] Spoken
    Heal trigger.
[08:52] Spoken
    Attack!
[08:53] Spoken
    Guard!
[08:55] Spoken
    Turn end.
[08:58] Spoken
    All right! Even though his opponent's trump card
    came out, he held on to his 4 damage!
[09:04] Spoken
    Well...
[09:06] Spoken
    Instead, Ren cut down Kai's rear-guards.
[09:09] Spoken
    And he healed 1 damage point
     with a heal trigger.
[09:12] Spoken
    The situation's gotten
    even tougher for Kai.
[09:19] Spoken
    Kai's got the will!
[09:22] Spoken
    Call!
[09:23] Spoken
    Ren! No matter how strong my
    enemies are, I'll never waver!
[09:30] Spoken
    The light of courage that connects me
    and my mate in the darkness!
[09:35] Spoken
    Seek the mate!
[09:47] Spoken
    Friendship is in this hand!
    Our bond is in this heart!
[09:50] Spoken
    Line up, avatar of my soul.
[09:53] Spoken
    Legion!
[10:02] Spoken
    Blaster Blade...
[10:05] Spoken
    I never thought you would
    be at Kai's fingertips.
[10:11] Spoken
    You can put up a cool front
    and have a poker face,
[10:16] Spoken
    but when Blaster Blade is facing you,
    your resolve wavers, huh?
[10:20] Spoken
    Ren, in a way, you know
    Aichi better than I do.
[10:24] Spoken
    As an enemy, as a friend, you've
    fought him countless times.
[10:29] Spoken
    You must have been Aichi's mate as well.
[10:31] Spoken
    Why won't you tell me what you know?
[10:35] Spoken
    Tell you what?
[10:36] Spoken
    So you're gonna play innocent to the end...
[10:39] Spoken
    Then I guess I'll have to pull out
    the true soul behind that mask!
[10:44] Spoken
    I call Cerdic with Gildas's skill!
[10:48] Spoken
    Gildas attacks Blaster Dark!
[10:53] Spoken
    Then roar, Legion Mate!
[10:56] Spoken
    Thing Saver Dragon and Blaster Blade attack!
[11:00] Spoken
    First check!
[11:02] Spoken
    I give the effect to Cerdic
    and heal 1 damage point.
[11:06] Spoken
    Second check.
[11:07] Spoken
    I got a critical trigger!
[11:10] Spoken
    I give the critical to my Vanguard
    and the power to Cerdic!
[11:20] Spoken
    Cerdic!
[11:21] Spoken
    Guard!
[11:23] Spoken
    Both of 'em are awesome...
[11:24] Spoken
    Yeah...
[11:26] Spoken
    I see. This is your Legion?
[11:30] Spoken
    This is the bond between me and Aichi.
[11:33] Spoken
    No one can break that bond!
[11:37] Spoken
    Thing Saver Dragon...
[11:39] Spoken
    Certainly, it is a powerful unit.
[11:41] Spoken
    And as you said,
[11:44] Spoken
    I sensed a strong bond.
[11:46] Spoken
    Kai, you possess strong conviction.
[11:51] Spoken
    But, Kai...
[11:53] Spoken
    I'm actually skeptical
    about that bond of yours.
[11:57] Spoken
    What?!
[11:59] Spoken
    After all, isn't a bond
    tied between two people?
[12:04] Spoken
    Or is it something that
    can be one-sided?
[12:06] Spoken
    What are you trying to say?
[12:08] Spoken
    Kai, are your feelings really true?
[12:13] Spoken
    I want to verify them...
[12:16] Spoken
    ...with this attack!
[12:17] Spoken
    Call!
[12:22] Spoken
    People who know each other
    in a world without light,
[12:25] Spoken
    give me the power to connect souls
    born into a world of darkness!
[12:31] Spoken
    Seek the mate!
[12:40] Spoken
    The power of a bond
     born in a hateful hell.
[12:43] Spoken
    Communion of dark knights who
    wound and stab each other!
[12:48] Spoken
    Line up, those who should
    never stand together!
[12:53] Spoken
    Legion!
[13:02] Spoken
    This is Ren's Legion!
[13:22] Spoken
    As expected, Legion...
[13:24] Spoken
    I anticipated it, but I guess it's
    as expected of Ren Suzugamori.
[13:29] Spoken
    Superior call!
[13:34] Spoken
    Blaster Blade...
[13:36] Spoken
    Now, when you've chosen Kai,
    it's time for me to make sure of it.
[13:41] Spoken
    Well, Kai, shall we begin?
[13:44] Spoken
    I swear by my bond with
    Aichi that I won't lose!
[13:51] Spoken
    Kai, you always make decisions
    based on your own values.
[13:56] Spoken
    You've followed your own sense
    of justice all this time.
[14:00] Spoken
    You lead a solitary existence that's
    unswayed by the values of anyone else.
[14:03] Spoken
    That's Toshiki Kai.
[14:05] Spoken
    However, to the people around you,
    that's not necessarily justice.
[14:12] Spoken
    Sometimes your feelings are so passionate
[14:15] Spoken
    that they swallow up the people
    around you and burn them to nothing.
[14:21] Spoken
    Am I wrong?
[14:24] Spoken
    No. You're right.
[14:27] Spoken
    And yet here you are again,
    trying to start a new battle.
[14:32] Spoken
    That jerk, Ren!
[14:34] Spoken
    Kai, what are you agreeing to?!
[14:37] Spoken
    So blocking those strong feelings
     is my kind of justice!
[14:42] Spoken
    Here I go! Attack!
[14:44] Spoken
    Intercept!
[14:47] Spoken
    Juddgebau boosts!
[14:48] Spoken
    Ring out, Legion!
[14:50] Spoken
    Twin swords of darkness that
    even cut through bonds!
[14:53] Spoken
    Attack Thing Saver!
[14:58] Spoken
    Drive check!
[15:00] Spoken
    Critical trigger!
[15:01] Spoken
    I give all of the effects
    to Phantom Blaster "Abyss"!
[15:12] Spoken
    They both have 5 damage!
[15:17] Spoken
    You don't think it's going
    to end like this, do you?
[15:22] Spoken
    I retire three of my rear-guards.
[15:28] Spoken
    Reign over the battlefield with a sword
    that's stained with your comrades' blood.
[15:31] Spoken
    Obey the king of tragedy, dark knight!
[15:35] Spoken
    Phantom Blaster Rising!
[15:39] Spoken
    Phantom Blaster Rising?!
[15:41] Spoken
    He even stood his Legion mate?!
[15:45] Spoken
    Kai, I'm going to stop you with this attack.
[15:51] Spoken
    Ring out across the
    battlefield again, Legion!
[15:54] Spoken
    Twin swords of darkness that
    even cut through bonds!
[15:56] Spoken
    Wait!
[15:58] Spoken
    Ishida?
[16:02] Spoken
    Interfering in a fight in progress
    is a breach of manners.
[16:06] Spoken
    I know! But there's something
    I wanna say to you!
[16:11] Spoken
    True, Kai always acts on his own and maybe
    as a result, other people are drawn in.
[16:18] Spoken
    But this time is different!
[16:20] Spoken
    We're betting everything on Kai's feelings!
[16:23] Spoken
    You may think it's Kai's fault
    that we're kickin' up a fuss,
[16:26] Spoken
    but that's wrong!
[16:28] Spoken
    We absolutely don't wanna
    forget Aichi Sendou!
[16:32] Spoken
    Aichi's kindness and strength supported me!
[16:37] Spoken
    He made me recall somethin'
    valuable that I'd almost lost!
[16:40] Spoken
    So I refuse to let Aichi
    be wiped from my memory!
[16:47] Spoken
    It was Toshiki Kai's passion that made
    me remember this precious feelin'!
[16:54] Spoken
    Kai was resolved to come here alone.
[16:59] Spoken
    But we stopped him.
[17:01] Spoken
    We decided on our own to go
    forward together with Kai.
[17:05] Spoken
    'Cause we're mates!
[17:07] Spoken
    Yeah!
[17:09] Spoken
    Mates... huh?
[17:12] Spoken
    I guard with Shiron!
[17:14] Spoken
    Perfect guard!
[17:17] Spoken
    So you did have one...
[17:21] Spoken
    Macart attacks!
[17:23] Spoken
    Guard!
[17:27] Spoken
    Somehow he blocked Ren's attacks...
[17:30] Spoken
    Although now Kai only has
    one card in his hand.
[17:33] Spoken
    Don't worry.
[17:35] Spoken
    Trust me. We're mates, right?
[17:41] Spoken
    Y-Yeah!
[17:42] Spoken
    Kai. You...
[17:44] Spoken
    "Trust me," huh?
[17:48] Spoken
    Is that strange?
[17:49] Spoken
    Considerably.
[17:50] Spoken
    Yeah. Well, we've never had
    that kind of battle until now.
[17:56] Spoken
    The most important thing in a fight
    is your own determination.
[17:59] Spoken
    You're responsible for your
    own victory or defeat.
[18:02] Spoken
    All this time, I believed that was right.
[18:04] Spoken
    I never gave any thought to letting
    the feelings of other people
[18:08] Spoken
    influence the outcome of my fights.
[18:10] Spoken
    But the guy we know...
[18:15] Spoken
    He always took responsibility for the
    feelings of others as he fought his battles!
[18:23] Spoken
    I'm not going to act alone anymore.
[18:26] Spoken
    Together with the feelings of these mates,
[18:28] Spoken
    I wanna go to wherever Aichi is!
[18:31] Spoken
    Kai!
[18:32] Spoken
    That guy...
[18:33] Spoken
    Attack!
[18:35] Spoken
    Intercept!
[18:36] Spoken
    Roar, Legion Mates!
[18:38] Spoken
    Legion attack!
[18:40] Spoken
    Guard!
[18:41] Spoken
    Drive check!
[18:45] Spoken
    I can't be stopped now!
[18:47] Spoken
    Legion skill activated!
[18:53] Spoken
    I superior ride Thing Saver Dragon!
[19:02] Spoken
    Then follow the glow of the bond
    and gather before me again!
[19:07] Spoken
    Legion Mate!
[19:18] Spoken
    Blaster Blade from the Soul...
[19:21] Spoken
    The bond with my mates can never be severed!
[19:25] Spoken
    This is Soulmate Legion!
[19:28] Spoken
    Soulmate Legion...
[19:32] Spoken
    Here I go, Ren! Legion attack!
[19:37] Spoken
    No guard.
[19:50] Spoken
    He did it!
[19:56] Spoken
    My loss, Kai.
[19:59] Spoken
    Forcibly calling Blaster
    Blade from the Soul...
[20:03] Spoken
    You're as pushy as always.
[20:05] Spoken
    How can you talk,
    after making both of yours stand?
[20:08] Spoken
    Well, certainly...
[20:10] Spoken
    I might be pushy,
[20:12] Spoken
    but if I've got mates who are willing
    to come with me even when I'm like that,
[20:17] Spoken
    I want to stay as I am and push on.
[20:21] Spoken
    Kai, you've changed a little.
[20:25] Spoken
    I might have.
[20:27] Spoken
    Aichi and my mates have changed me.
[20:33] Spoken
    Kai, I have a promise of
    my own that I need to keep.
[20:36] Spoken
    So I can't talk to you in detail about him.
[20:40] Spoken
    However...
[20:43] Spoken
    ...I'll tell you just one thing.
[20:45] Spoken
    You should try to go there.
[20:48] Spoken
    What is it?
[20:51] Spoken
    Where is this?
[20:53] Spoken
    What will you see there?
    What will you decide there?
[20:58] Spoken
    I'm looking forward to that.
[21:01] Spoken
    A photo!
[21:02] Spoken
    We've got a clue!
[21:05] Spoken
    Yeah.
[21:15] Spoken
    Kamui!
[21:16] Spoken
    Misaki!
[21:17] Spoken
    Shin told us you were heading here.
[21:21] Spoken
    You didn't leave us behind, did you?
[21:25] Spoken
    No. I wouldn't do that.
[21:28] Spoken
    Because you're my mates!
[21:41] Spoken
    Ren, is something wrong?
[21:44] Spoken
    Kai has changed, huh?
[21:46] Spoken
    Yes, he has.
[21:48] Spoken
    It seems... he's my mate!
[21:51] Spoken
    Ren, you're good at imitating him!
[21:55] Spoken
    Are you envious, Ren?
[21:57] Spoken
    As if!
[21:58] Spoken
    I'm hungry. Get me something to eat, Asaka.
[22:02] Spoken
    Sure! I'll prepare something right away, Ren.
[22:14] Spoken
    I'm sure they'll come here.
[22:17] Spoken
    Don't you think so, Gaillard?
[23:56] Spoken
    I don't like it, Kai.
[23:58] Spoken
    Was my barging in on you that unpleasant?
[24:00] Spoken
    That's not what I meant.
[24:02] Spoken
    Miwa and Ishida, I think their names are?
[24:04] Spoken
    Having companions isn't like you.
[24:07] Spoken
    Oh?
[24:08] Spoken
    You really have changed, too.
[24:10] Spoken
    For now, I'll say... thank you for the clue.
[24:14] Spoken
    Next time:
    The Place Where Aichi Will Return.
SIGN    The Place Where Aichi Will Return
[24:17] Spoken
    "Thank you"?
[24:19] Spoken
    Is it just my imagination, or did you
    feel annoyed or embarrassed saying that?
