    What is this?!
[00:08] ---
    Aichi!
[00:16] ---
    Aichi!
[00:17] ---
    N-No!
[00:20] ---
    Don't leave my body!
[00:23] ---
    Aichi!
[02:10] ---
    What the heck is this?!
[02:13] ---
    We didn't make it in time.
[02:14] ---
    I suppose this means Neve and Rati's
    seals have also been released.
[02:20] ---
    Aichi!
[02:23] ---
    The floor! Everybody be careful!
[02:33] ---
    Awaken, Link Joker!
[02:36] ---
    Show me your true form right here and now!
[02:58] ---
    Kourin! Look out!
[03:04] ---
    Neve!
[03:05] ---
    No good... I don't have any strength.
[03:10] ---
    Kourin... Keep Aichi from...
[03:14] ---
    Aichi!
[03:43] ---
    The sanctuary has assumed its true form.
[03:47] ---
    To welcome me, the one
    meant to be Link Joker's master!
SIGN    Omega's Return
[04:08] Spoken
    Everything is going just
    the way I planned it.
[04:12] Spoken
    Now I just need to get the Link Joker seed
     that's within Aichi Sendou's body.
[04:18] Spoken
    My scenario is about to reach its climax.
[04:34] Spoken
    Aichi!
[04:37] Spoken
    Don't leave!
[04:42] Spoken
    Stay... inside me!
[04:48] Spoken
    Calm down, Link Joker within me!
[04:52] Spoken
    Sleep here with me...
[05:03] Spoken
    Aichi, share your agony with me.
[05:18] Spoken
    Give me more...
[05:20] Spoken
    More!
[05:33] Spoken
    Thank you, Kourin.
[05:37] Spoken
    I'm all right now.
[05:40] Spoken
    Aichi!
[05:44] Spoken
    I'm going to protect you,
    no matter what I have to do.
[05:49] Spoken
    Because that's the only way
    I can stay connected to you.
[05:57] Spoken
    What a tear-jerker!
[06:00] Spoken
    Serra!
[06:01] Spoken
    The maiden knight who swore
    allegiance to the prince.
[06:05] Spoken
    What a wonderful spectacle.
[06:09] Spoken
    Why did you betray Aichi?!
[06:12] Spoken
    Betray?
[06:14] Spoken
    Oh, please.
[06:16] Spoken
    From the very beginning,
    I joined the Quatre Knights
[06:20] Spoken
    with the intention of
    using Aichi Sendou.
[06:23] Spoken
    So that I could obtain the
    power of Link Joker...
[06:27] Spoken
    What?!
[06:29] Spoken
    Neither the Quatre Knights, nor you,
    nor even Aichi Sendou himself suspected me.
[06:39] Spoken
    Honestly, I can't help marveling
    at how foolish you all are.
[06:46] Spoken
    It was humorous to watch all of you act
    desperately to protect Aichi Sendou.
[06:54] Spoken
    That's it.
[06:55] Spoken
    No one gets away with mocking Aichi
     after he put his life on the line!
[07:06] Spoken
    I'm sponsoring a show that's about to begin,
[07:09] Spoken
    and you're not going to play a part in it.
[07:12] Spoken
    However...
[07:19] Spoken
    ...Kourin Tatsunagi, I just gave you
     the right to view the show
[07:23] Spoken
    from a special seat called the "ice cage."
[07:28] Spoken
    Stop this nonsense!
[07:29] Spoken
    I appreciate your encouragement.
[07:32] Spoken
    I'm going to show you the wondrous
    spectacle of yours truly
[07:36] Spoken
    defeating Aichi Sendou and
    then retrieving the seed.
[07:40] Spoken
    Please, kick back and watch the show.
[07:43] Spoken
    While you grind your teeth in frustration
[07:45] Spoken
    at not being able to protect what
    you really wanted to protect...
[07:52] ---
    Stop!
[07:54] Spoken
    Aichi Sendou.
[07:56] Spoken
    You don't have to try to hold
    Link Joker back anymore.
[08:01] Spoken
    Link Joker chooses the person
    who beats it to be its host.
[08:07] Spoken
    This time I'll defeat you,
    so the seed moves to my body.
[08:13] Spoken
    I'll become the new,
    more suitable host for Link Joker.
[08:22] Spoken
    I can't afford to let Aichi fight.
[08:25] Spoken
    If he does happen to lose,
    Serra's plan will come to fruition.
[08:32] Spoken
    And if Aichi wins,
[08:33] Spoken
    the Link Joker power he's been
    holding back will be released.
[08:45] Spoken
    Stop it!
[08:48] Spoken
    Don't torment Aichi any more than this!
[08:50] Spoken
    What a nice voice.
[08:52] Spoken
    That heartbreaking wail is perfect
    for the climax of my show.
[08:58] Spoken
    Now, let's get back to that show.
[09:00] Spoken
    Aichi Sendou, you were completely
    ignorant of my purpose.
[09:08] Spoken
    So ignorant that I felt there
    wasn't enough of a challenge.
[09:12] Spoken
    I was attracted to the vast power
     that Link Joker possesses.
[09:16] Spoken
    However,
[09:18] Spoken
    not even Takuto Tatsunagi or
    Toshiki Kai could master Link Joker.
[09:27] Spoken
    That's when it hit me.
[09:29] Spoken
    I knew I would be able to control it.
[09:33] Spoken
    I wondered if there was something
    I could do to make that power mine.
[09:38] Spoken
    And then you came to me that day,
    asking me to join the Quatre Knights.
[09:45] Spoken
    When you told me about the
    Link Joker seed residing within you,
[09:50] Spoken
    I figured it was fate.
[09:54] Spoken
    And then the game began,
[09:56] Spoken
    with the end goal being for me
    to get my hands on the seed.
[10:01] Spoken
    Not realizing my intent,
[10:03] Spoken
    you foolishly made me one
    of your Quatre Knights.
[10:08] Spoken
    Gaillard and the others
    had absolute faith in you,
[10:12] Spoken
    but they had no doubts about me, either.
[10:16] Spoken
    Then I received information about
    Toshiki Kai and the others making a move.
[10:22] Spoken
    I decided to lure them to the sanctuary
[10:25] Spoken
    and have them and the Quatre Knights destroy
    each other, thereby releasing the seals.
[10:31] Spoken
    And as we've seen,
    my plan worked brilliantly.
[10:42] Spoken
    How could you?
[10:44] Spoken
    Chaos will rule the world once again!
[10:48] Spoken
    The powerful Link Joker is a perfect fit
    for the ultimate fighter... me!
[10:53] Spoken
    No... Don't!
[10:56] Spoken
    Now, Aichi Sendou, let's fight.
[11:02] Spoken
    Awaken.
[11:03] Spoken
    Don't!
[11:06] Spoken
    Aichi!
[11:09] Spoken
    Stop right there!
[11:17] Spoken
    You people?
[11:20] Spoken
    What, you thought that was
    enough to hold us back?
[11:25] Spoken
    Then how about this?
[11:31] Spoken
    Ice again?!
[11:41] Spoken
    We heard your whole scheme.
[11:45] Spoken
    So you were betraying Aichi the whole time?
[11:48] Spoken
    I see.
[11:51] Spoken
    With Ren Suzugamori and Leon Souryu's help,
[11:55] Spoken
    even escaping from my
    Ice Prison becomes possible.
[12:00] Spoken
    We owe a lot of people.
[12:02] Spoken
    And none of us will forgive you!
[12:04] Spoken
    Let's resolve this with a fight!
[12:06] Spoken
    I'll do it.
[12:08] Spoken
    Gaillard?
[12:10] Spoken
    We Quatre Knights have to take responsibility
    for the crimes of a Quatre Knight.
[12:16] Spoken
    All right.
[12:18] Spoken
    If you lose, you ain't gettin' any mercy.
[12:29] Spoken
    Serra.
[12:30] Spoken
    It was foolish to challenge me.
[12:35] Spoken
    None of you can beat me.
[12:39] Spoken
    I've personally manipulated all of you.
[12:49] Spoken
    Aichi...
[12:51] Spoken
    ...I'm your knight to the very end.
[12:57] Spoken
    Holy Prominence Prison!
[13:08] Spoken
    Stand up le Vanguard!
[13:08] Spoken
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[13:17] Spoken
    This is...
[13:19] Spoken
    ...Link Joker?!
[13:39] Spoken
    That's right. My true clan is Link Joker.
[13:43] Spoken
    You kept it hidden?
[13:45] Spoken
    Naturally.
[13:47] Spoken
    You always want to hold back
    your trump card 'til the end.
[13:50] Spoken
    Especially against a nuisance like you...
[13:53] Spoken
    ...Olivier Gaillard.
[13:57] Spoken
    You revel in your role as
    Aichi Sendou's faithful watchdog,
[14:02] Spoken
    so I had an inkling that you would
    challenge me to a fight like this.
[14:07] Spoken
    But you people can't stop me.
[14:12] Spoken
    Not only does my ability dwarf yours,
[14:16] Spoken
    but lifting Aichi Sendou's seals
[14:19] Spoken
    has made my Link Joker deck
    resonate with the seed,
[14:23] Spoken
    increasing its power.
[14:29] Spoken
    Even so, I'll beat you, Serra!
[14:34] Spoken
    I ride Fast Chase Liberator, Josephus!
[14:39] Spoken
    Deception Star-vader, Nickel!
[14:43] Spoken
    Aglovale, attack!
[14:49] Spoken
    Attack!
[14:58] Spoken
    It's the end of the fourth turn,
    and the damage is 3 to 3.
[15:02] Spoken
    A draw so far...
[15:03] Spoken
    But Serra's confidence worries me.
[15:14] Spoken
    You and your beloved Aichi...
[15:17] Spoken
    I doubt your sanity.
[15:20] Spoken
    You worship him as a savior
    who saved the world.
[15:25] Spoken
    From my point of view, though,
[15:27] Spoken
    he's a ninny who possesses amazing
    power but refuses to use it.
[15:33] Spoken
    Serra! You stood beside us
    as a Quatre Knight.
[15:36] Spoken
    Didn't you feel anything,
    even for a moment?!
[15:39] ---
    Oh?
[15:41] Spoken
    Aichi sacrificed his entire being!
[15:44] Spoken
    He gave up everything and chose to be
    sealed away for our sake!
[15:50] Spoken
    It's not like he was happy about it!
[15:55] Spoken
    It was a hard, sad conclusion
     that he reached
[15:59] Spoken
    after struggling, suffering,
    and shedding bitter tears!
[16:07] Spoken
    You, on the other hand, are only
     thinking about your own desire.
[16:12] Spoken
    I won't let you get any farther!
[16:15] Spoken
    Draw!
[16:20] Spoken
    Bluish flames that singe the soul!
[16:23] Spoken
    Turn your noble faith into power!
[16:26] Spoken
    I ride Bluish Flame Liberator,
     Prominence Glare!
[16:36] Spoken
    Prominence Glare's skill.
[16:38] Spoken
    Superior call!
[16:41] Spoken
    Bruno's skill! +3000 power!
[16:44] Spoken
    Aglovale's skill!
[16:47] Spoken
    Superior call!
[16:48] Spoken
    Little Liberator, Marron!
[16:51] Spoken
    Bruno gets another +3000 power!
[16:57] Spoken
    You're going to feel Aichi's pain!
[16:59] Spoken
    Go, Aglovale!
[17:02] Spoken
    Guard.
[17:04] Spoken
    Wasn't I supposed to feel pain there?
[17:10] Spoken
    Prominence Glare!
[17:12] Spoken
    Release your scorching light
    of gathered bluish flames!
[17:16] Spoken
    Guard.
[17:18] Spoken
    Drive trigger check!
[17:22] Spoken
    What's wrong?
[17:23] Spoken
    Don't laugh!
[17:25] Spoken
    The heart that can feel other people's
    pain is nobler than anything!
[17:30] Spoken
    Phallon!
[17:43] Spoken
    Turn end.
[17:45] Spoken
    Darn it! He only did 1 damage?
[17:50] Spoken
    In the end, justice and the like
    is hypocrisy!
[17:52] Spoken
    Those with power get everything.
[17:57] Spoken
    Gaillard, I never did like your
    pretense of a rightful cause.
[18:04] Spoken
    I cannot respect Aichi Sendou.
[18:09] Spoken
    Considering that he saved the world,
[18:11] Spoken
    I grant that he may have
    some fighting ability,
[18:15] Spoken
    but unfortunately,
     he's too simple-minded.
[18:19] Spoken
    I carried out my plan all too easily
[18:23] Spoken
    because Aichi Sendou has
    too much faith in his fellow man.
[18:27] Spoken
    That's why I gave myself a handicap.
[18:31] Spoken
    You see, a slight handicap
    adds spice to a game.
[18:35] Spoken
    And yet, when it comes to him...
[18:39] Spoken
    What did you do?!
[18:40] Spoken
    I merely asked him a question one day.
[18:46] Spoken
    Aichi, don't you think you're
    overly trusting of people?
[18:52] Spoken
    Don't you ever think that
    people may trick you?
[18:57] Spoken
    Someone who's quick on the uptake would get
    suspicious of me after that question.
[19:02] Spoken
    But Aichi Sendou was either honest
    to a fault, or at the height of stupidity.
[19:10] Spoken
    Um, I don't think anyone who plays
    Vanguard can be a bad person.
[19:16] Spoken
    Sometimes people can make mistakes,
[19:19] Spoken
    but I have faith.
[19:22] Spoken
    Faith in everyone who loves Vanguard.
[19:25] Spoken
    Of course, that includes you, Serra.
[19:36] Spoken
    Gaillard, the Aichi Sendou you respect
    so much was foolish enough to say
[19:40] Spoken
    that he had faith in me,
    the one who was about to use him!
[19:53] Spoken
    You...
[19:55] Spoken
    All this time, have you been
    laughing at Aichi's pure heart?
[20:01] Spoken
    All this time?!
[20:02] Spoken
    It's a waste for a simpleton
    like that to possess Link Joker.
[20:08] Spoken
    Strong power should belong
    to a suitable person.
[20:13] Spoken
    I can wield it with
    more skill than anyone.
[20:17] Spoken
    The power of Link Joker...
[20:20] Spoken
    I'll prove it to you.
[20:25] Spoken
    Aichi Sendou,
    this is the true way to use Link Joker.
[20:33] Spoken
    Here I go.
[20:38] Spoken
    Dark purity from out of the darkness!
[20:40] Spoken
    Follow your destructive instincts
[20:42] Spoken
    and raise your voice of
    destruction to doomsday!
[20:45] Spoken
    Ride!
[20:46] Spoken
    Star-vader, Dark Zodiac!
[20:52] Spoken
    Seek mate!
[21:00] Spoken
    Let terror spread.
[21:02] Spoken
    Swallow up all light and turn it
    into dark despair!
[21:06] Spoken
    Star-vader, Astro-reaper!
[21:09] Spoken
    Legion!
[21:14] Spoken
    This is Serra's Legion!
[21:23] Spoken
    Lock...
[21:25] Spoken
    Phallon!
[21:27] Spoken
    Marron!
[21:33] Spoken
    Legion skill.
[21:36] Spoken
    Even after the end of the next turn,
     the locks won't be lifted.
[21:39] Spoken
    They're Omega Locks.
[21:41] Spoken
    Omega Locks?!
[21:44] Spoken
    The locks on those two units can't be lifted.
[21:50] Spoken
    Omega Lock...
[21:52] Spoken
    A chain of locks that can never be lifted.
[21:55] Spoken
    He's in trouble.
[22:04] Spoken
    I shall become the rightful
    host of Link Joker.
[22:08] Spoken
    You should all fear Raul Serra,
[22:12] Spoken
    the man who far exceeds
    Aichi Sendou's ability!
[23:56] Spoken
    You were the biggest nuisance
    of all the Quatre Knights.
[24:00] Spoken
    Serra, how dare you trick
    us... no, trick Aichi?!
[24:04] Spoken
    You're just all so naive...
[24:06] Spoken
    Isn't your conscience even
    the least bit guilty?!
[24:09] Spoken
    Quatre Knights...
[24:10] Spoken
    There's nothing worse than a familiar enemy.
[24:12] Spoken
    You made your move from the
    beginning for this purpose?
[24:15] Spoken
    Next time: Determination
    of the Bluish Flames!
SIGN    Determination of the Bluish Flames
[24:17] Spoken
    Gaillard, I'm counting on you!
[24:19] Spoken
    My conscience?
[24:21] Spoken
    Not in the least.
