**[00:22] Kai**
Sorry.
**[00:34] Kai**
What happened to you?
Did you lose a fight or something?
**[00:38] Kai**
But you don't seem the fighting type.
**[00:41] Kai**
Did you get bullied?
**[00:50] Kai**
You wanna try this? It's fun.
**[01:02] Kai**
So these fifty cards together
make up a Vanguard deck.
**[01:08] Kai**
Let's do this!
**[01:10] Aichi**
A-Already?
**[01:13] Kai**
You learn better by doing!
**[01:19] Kai**
Come on! There's nothing to be afraid of.
**[01:22] Aichi**
I n-need to get home soon...
**[01:25] Kai**
Is it that late already?
**[01:29] Kai**
Wait a sec!
**[01:32] Kai**
You can keep this one.
**[01:35] Kai**
He's a pretty strong swordsman.
**[01:42] Kai**
Come on! Just imagine it!
Imagine yourself being as strong as him.
**[01:48] Aichi**
I c-can't!
**[01:51] Kai**
Guess it's hard to do off the bat.
**[01:53] Kai**
But once you can picture that,
I bet you'll be able to change.
**[01:58] Kai**
Imagination will become your strength.

Stand Up, Vanguard!!
**[03:44] Miwa**
You're lucky, getting to live on your own.
**[03:47] Miwa**
But still, after you moved away
all of a sudden in grade school,
**[03:51] Miwa**
I never thought you'd
come back here for high school.
**[03:54] Miwa**
What brought you back?
**[03:58] Miwa**
Are you ignoring me?
**[04:02] Suiko**
It's the hottest card game around!
**[04:05] Kourin**
You're already playing Cardfight, aren't you?
**[04:08] Rekka**
You haven't heard about it?
**[04:10] Rekka**
Then I'll tell you!
**[04:11] Rekka**
It's called...
**[04:13] The 3**
Vanguard!
**[04:14] Miwa**
Hey, a Vanguard commercial.
You still play, right?
**[04:18] Kai**
Whatever.
**[04:19] Miwa**
Huh?
**[04:21] Miwa**
So you're still in the habit of dodging
topics to hide your embarrassment.
**[04:27] Miwa**
Kai! What's this thing?
**[04:29] Kai**
Jerk! Give it back, Miwa!
**[04:31] Miwa**
It's been so long! Let's do a fight!
**[04:33] Miwa**
There's a shop near here
with this scary yet cute clerk!
**[04:41] Kai**
Card Capital...
**[04:45] Miwa**
Let's go in.
**[04:48] Miwa**
H-Hold on, Kai! We came all this way...
**[04:52] Miwa**
So let's check out the scary-cute girl!
**[04:55] Kai**
That's why we're here?
**[04:58] Miwa**
Hey, there!
**[05:01] Miwa**
She usually chews me out with
"Enter the store quietly."
**[05:07] Morikawa**
All right!
**[05:12] Morikawa**
I'll finish you off with General Seifried!
**[05:16] Morikawa**
Well? Gonna do a damage check?
**[05:23] Morikawa**
You're no match for me!
**[05:26] Izaki**
You did it, Morikawa!
**[05:27] Inenaga**
You set a new record for consecutive wins!
**[05:31] Morikawa**
Anyone else wanna try their luck with me?
**[05:35] Morikawa**
The heck? Are you all cowards?
**[05:38] Misaki**
Sheesh.
**[05:40] Shin**
He won again, huh?
**[05:42] Miwa**
Why, Manager? Is the
middle school kid really that good?
**[05:45] Shin**
He has a bit of an attitude...
**[05:45] Morikawa**
Get a shot of the champion! Yay!
**[05:48] Shin**
But out of all our regulars,
you could say he's the liveliest.
**[05:52] Miwa**
Liveliest, huh...
**[05:54] Morikawa**
Well, I guess this makes me
the strongest fighter at Card Capital!
**[05:58] Morikawa**
Izaki, Inenaga. You guys fight me.
**[06:01] Izaki**
Sure.
**[06:01] Inenaga**
Okay.
**[06:01] Miwa**
Wait a second.
**[06:03] Miwa**
If you wanna call yourself the strongest,
then you'll have to beat him.
**[06:08] Morikawa**
Aren't you from Hitsue High? You any good?
**[06:11] Kai**
Miwa, I never said anything
about fighting this guy.
**[06:15] Morikawa**
"This guy"?
**[06:17] Morikawa**
Fine, I'll do ya a favor and fight you.
**[06:21] Kai**
You'll do me... a "favor"?
**[06:24] Morikawa**
You may be my elder,
but I'm not gonna hold back.
**[06:28] Kai**
Spare me the tedious chatter.
Let's just get started.
**[06:33] Misaki**
Is your friend really going to be okay?
**[06:37] Miwa**
Just watch.
***SIGN*** Sub Manager
**[06:51] Kai**
Attack.
**[06:53] Morikawa**
I've still got a damage check!
**[07:02] Kai**
I win, "champion."
**[07:04] Morikawa**
Rats!
**[07:06] Morikawa**
How could I lose?!
**[07:09] Miwa**
You did it! V-V-V! Victory!
**[07:13] Miwa**
You're as strong as ever, Kai!
**[07:15] Miwa**
All right! Now Toshiki Kai's
the strongest fighter at Card Capital!
**[07:19] Morikawa**
Why're you gloating?!
**[07:21] Miwa**
Shut up, sore loser!
**[07:22] Morikawa**
Dang it!
**[07:25] Misaki**
Thanks again.
**[07:27] Miwa**
Come back for a rematch anytime!
**[07:30] Misaki**
What are you, his manager?
**[07:34] Kai**
That's the strongest they've got?
**[07:43] Kai**
I just can't get into the game
with opponents like that.
**[07:52] Izaki**
Morikawa...
**[07:53] Inenaga**
What's all this?
**[07:55] Morikawa**
I need a real powerful card
to beat that jerk Kai.
**[07:59] Morikawa**
So I got an advance on my allowance
and bought a whole box!
***SIGN*** Uesugi's Army
12,000
**[08:05] Mark**
Today, we're covering
the Battles of Kawanakajima!
**[08:09] Mark**
Of them all, the fourth battle,
the Battle of Hachimanbara...
**[08:12] StudentA**
We're covering Kawanakajima this early?
**[08:14] Mark**
...is the best known for being
an extraordinary life-or-death struggle.
***SIGN*** Warrior
**[08:18] Mark**
but who led the 8,000 troops
in the attack against Shinano?
**[08:22] Mark**
Shimamura!
**[08:24] Shinamura**
Shingen Takeda.
**[08:25] Mark**
Yes!
***SIGN*** Shingen Takeda
**[08:27] Mark**
On the opposing side, who led the
12,000 troops that engaged the enemy?
**[08:31] Mark**
Suzuki!
**[08:33] Suzuki**
Kenshin Uesugi.
**[08:34] Mark**
Yes!
***SIGN*** Kenshin Uesugi
**[08:36] Mark**
What was the battle formation
that Uesugi's army employed?
**[08:39] Mark**
Kubota!
**[08:41] Kubota**
The "winding wheel" formation.
***SIGN*** Warrior
**[08:43] Mark**
Yes!
***SIGN*** Uesugi's Army: Winding Wheel Formation
**[08:45] Mark**
Amidst heavy fog,
they engaged Shingen's main force!
***SIGN*** Attendance Record
**[08:48] Mark**
Now, what formation did Takeda's army use?
**[08:51] Izaki**
As always, I don't get this class.
**[08:54] Izaki**
Why are we using cards?
**[08:57] Inenaga**
A foreigner, a Warring States Period freak,
and a card game fan. He's too kooky for me.
**[09:02] Mark**
Now, in this cutthroat Warring States Period...
**[09:06] Mark**
Let's see...
**[09:08] Mark**
How would you have lived?
**[09:10] Mark**
Aichi Sendou!
**[09:12] Mark**
Sendou?!
**[09:14] Aichi**
O-Okay...
**[09:18] Mark**
Sendou, what would you have done
to make your mark in that period?
**[09:22] Inenaga**
I haven't heard him talk in forever!
**[09:25] Izaki**
There's limits to how quiet you can be!
**[09:27] Suzuki**
What's wrong, Aichi?!
**[09:28] Aichi**
Um, uh...
**[09:29] Kubota**
Hang in there, man.
**[09:31] Mark**
Hey, come on!
**[09:32] Mark**
Sendou, what would you have done
back then to go down in history?
**[09:36] Mark**
Imagine it. Picture it.
**[09:41] Aichi**
I... I w-would have stayed in the back...
**[09:45] Aichi**
Um...
**[09:49] Aichi**
So I c-could run away at any time...
**[10:00] Shimamura**
Talk about backward-looking!
**[10:06] Mark**
Sendou...
**[10:07] Mark**
That might be a good idea for surviving
the actual Warring States Period,
**[10:12] Mark**
but I think you could've done better for
yourself today by using your imagination.
**[10:17] Izaki**
You're like the lowliest soldier!
**[10:19] Inenaga**
At least picture yourself
as a samurai in command!
**[10:22] Aichi**
S-Sorry...
**[10:24] Mark**
All right, let's continue with
the Battles of Kawanakajima.
***SIGN*** Japanese History
**[10:26] Aichi**
I blew it...
**[10:28] Aichi**
But with such great military leaders around,
I never would've done anything of note.
**[10:43] Aichi**
Blaster Blade...
**[10:46] Aichi**
Even in the Warring States Period,
you would've been...
**[10:50] SamuraiA**
Who are you?!
**[10:54] Blaster**
I am Blaster Blade!
**[10:56] Blaster**
I have come from the hallowed nation
of United Sanctuary!
**[11:00] SamuraiB**
Are you some form of monster?!
**[11:02] SamuraiA**
Everyone, attack!
**[11:11] Morikawa**
The last pack...
**[11:13] Morikawa**
Please!
**[11:20] Morikawa**
Great, thanks for nothing...
**[11:25] Morikawa**
A lowly foot soldier,
smirking to himself. So annoying...
**[11:31] Morikawa**
That's a Vanguard card!
**[11:33] Morikawa**
And it's Blaster Blade?!
**[11:37] Morikawa**
That's a totally rare card!
**[12:08] Aichi**
Wh-What do you want, Morikawa?
**[12:11] Morikawa**
Aichi Sendou...
**[12:13] Morikawa**
I didn't know you were a Cardfighter.
**[12:17] Aichi**
M-Me, a Cardfighter?
**[12:20] Morikawa**
Don't play dumb. You were holding
a Vanguard card, right?
**[12:26] Aichi**
Yes, b-but I've never
played against anyone.
**[12:31] Aichi**
I'm not a Cardfighter.
**[12:35] Morikawa**
Just a lowly soldier, huh?
**[12:37] Morikawa**
Anyway, show me that card.
**[12:49] Morikawa**
It's true! It really is Blaster Blade!
**[12:52] Izaki**
Show me, too!
**[12:54] Inenaga**
Awesome! It's my first time seeing one!
**[12:56] Morikawa**
With this, I can beat him!
**[13:02] Aichi**
Wait a minute, Morikawa!
Don't take that away!
**[13:05] Aichi**
Someone gave me that card!
It's important to me!
**[13:08] Morikawa**
Shut up!
**[13:15] Morikawa**
You're not a Cardfighter, remember?
**[13:19] Morikawa**
It's a shame that this card's gone unused.
But now it's in good hands.
**[13:27] Aichi**
G-Give it back. That card... is mine.
**[13:33] Morikawa**
You twerp! When I knock you down, stay down!
**[13:34] Inenaga**
Morikawa!
**[13:38] Izaki**
Enough!
**[13:39] Morikawa**
Leggo of me!
**[13:42] Morikawa**
I'm gonna get revenge for yesterday.
**[13:44] Morikawa**
Let's go to Card Capital.
**[13:47] Aichi**
Card Capital...
**[13:54] Miwa**
Oh man, I lost again!
**[13:57] Misaki**
Fight quietly!
**[13:59] Kai**
You're outclassed.
**[14:01] Miwa**
What was that?!
**[14:03] Miwa**
One more time!
**[14:04] Miwa**
This time I'll show you that
I'm different from when I was a kid!
**[14:07] Morikawa**
Fight me!
**[14:11] Morikawa**
Toshiki Kai, don't get full of yourself
just because you beat me once.
**[14:15] Morikawa**
Fight me one more time, for the title
of Card Capital's strongest fighter!
**[14:19] Misaki**
Enter quiet--
**[14:20] Miwa**
Okay, okay.
**[14:22] Morikawa**
Well?! This time, I'll--
**[14:24] Kai**
I refuse.
**[14:25] Morikawa**
What? Why?!
**[14:28] Kai**
You suck at card games.
**[14:31] Kai**
Your tactics are monotonous,
and your strategy has no depth.
**[14:34] Kai**
You rely too much on the power of the cards.
**[14:37] Kai**
That's why I'd get nothing out of fighting you.
**[14:40] Miwa**
Wh-Whoa, you don't hold back.
**[14:43] Morikawa**
You'd get nothing out of fighting me, huh?
**[14:48] Morikawa**
Then, if you win, I'll give you this card!
**[14:53] Miwa**
Oh, it's Blaster Blade!
**[14:56] Kai**
Blaster Blade?
**[14:58] Morikawa**
Now you can't say
you wouldn't get anything, right?
**[15:01] Miwa**
Cool! Let me see!
**[15:03] Kai**
Blaster Blade. Where did he get that?
**[15:06] Shin**
Huh. Blaster Blade?
**[15:09] Misaki**
Is it rare?
**[15:10] Shin**
Why, are you interested, Misaki?
**[15:12] Misaki**
Not at all.
**[15:14] Miwa**
Me, me! I'll fight you!
**[15:18] Morikawa**
You?
**[15:19] Miwa**
If you beat me, you get to fight Kai.
**[15:23] Kai**
Hey, Miwa!
**[15:25] Morikawa**
All right, let's Cardfight!
**[15:32] Aichi**
M-My...
**[15:35] Aichi**
My card!
**[15:37] Miwa**
There! I attack you with this!
**[15:41] Miwa**
Okay, damage check.
**[15:43] Miwa**
If it goes through, I win, right?
**[15:46] Morikawa**
Please!
**[15:50] Morikawa**
No trigger...
**[15:52] Miwa**
Yay! I win!
**[15:55] Miwa**
Well, I'm keeping this Blaster Blade.
**[15:59] Miwa**
Look what I got, Kai!
**[16:00] Kai**
Let me see.
**[16:02] Miwa**
Hey, that's mine! Mine!
**[16:05] Morikawa**
Darn it!
**[16:08] Misaki**
Welcome.
**[16:11] Aichi**
M-My card...
**[16:14] Aichi**
Give me back my card!
**[16:17] Miwa**
Who's he?
**[16:20] Aichi**
M-Morikawa...
**[16:22] Aichi**
Please! That card means a lot to me!
**[16:25] Morikawa**
Like I care!
**[16:28] Kai**
Is this your card?
**[16:33] Aichi**
Th-That's right! That's mine!
**[16:36] Aichi**
P-Please give it back to me!
**[16:42] Kai**
Why should I?
**[16:43] Aichi**
Huh?
**[16:45] Kai**
He fought with this card
on the line, and lost.
**[16:53] Kai**
To us Cardfighters,
**[16:55] Kai**
the results of a fight mean everything.
**[16:58] Kai**
It's settled. The card belongs to him now.
**[17:04] Kai**
A card that's been taken away
can only be regained through a fight.
**[17:09] Aichi**
Then, w-will you fight me?
**[17:13] Morikawa**
Wh-What're you talking about?!
**[17:14] Morikawa**
You've never done a Cardfight!
**[17:18] Aichi**
I've never done one before,
**[17:21] Aichi**
but I put together a deck because
I wanted to have a Cardfight someday.
**[17:24] Morikawa**
Say what?!
**[17:26] Kai**
Fine.
**[17:27] Kai**
I'll fight you. Come over here.
**[17:29] Aichi**
O-Okay!
**[17:31] Miwa**
What the heck, Kai?! That's my card!
**[17:34] Kai**
Fine, let me borrow it.
**[17:37] Morikawa**
Hey, wait!
**[17:39] Morikawa**
He said this was his first Cardfight!
**[17:43] Morikawa**
Why refuse to fight me,
but agree to fight this beginner?!
**[17:48] Kai**
In your last fight, were you
challenging Miwa seriously?
**[17:54] Kai**
This guy is serious in
trying to get that card back.
**[17:58] Kai**
I have no reason to refuse someone
who challenges me to a serious fight.
**[18:05] Izaki**
Morikawa!
**[18:05] Inenaga**
Morikawa!
**[18:06] Misaki**
Thanks again.
**[18:07] Kai**
So, let's get started.
**[18:09] Aichi**
R-Right.
**[18:11] Kai**
But first...
**[18:15] Miwa**
That's my card!
**[18:16] Kai**
Pipe down.
**[18:18] Kai**
You need Blaster Blade to
complete your deck, don't you?
**[18:22] Aichi**
Y-Yes.
**[18:25] Kai**
You can borrow it, then.
**[18:26] Kai**
It'd just be a handicap for me.
**[18:29] Aichi**
Th-Thank you!
***SIGN*** Sub Manager
**[18:46] Kai**
I'm Toshiki Kai. And you?
**[18:49] Aichi**
I-I'm Aichi Sendou.
**[18:55] Kai**
You seem to be a beginner,
**[18:57] Kai**
so I'll explain the rules as we play.
**[19:00] Kai**
Now, imagine it.
**[19:13] Kai**
That's the planet Cray.
**[19:15] Kai**
It's the Earth-like planet
where our battles take place.
**[19:30] Kai**
Right now we're on the planet Cray
in spirit form, as astral bodies.
**[19:35] Aichi**
Wow...
**[19:38] Kai**
Our bodies are weak,
but we have two abilities.
**[19:44] Kai**
The first is "Call."
**[19:46] Aichi**
Call?
**[19:48] Kai**
Monsters inhabit this planet.
**[19:51] Kai**
We have the ability to summon them as units.
**[19:56] Kai**
But the monsters we can summon
**[19:59] Kai**
are ones we have a contract with.
**[20:02] Kai**
As in, only the ones we've gathered
to complete a 50-card deck.
**[20:07] Kai**
There can be up to four
of the same card in a deck.
**[20:10] Kai**
But I'm sure you know that,
if you put a deck together.
**[20:14] Kai**
Our second ability is "Ride."
**[20:17] Aichi**
Ride...
**[20:18] Kai**
This is the ability to possess a
summoned unit with your astral body.
**[20:23] Kai**
And once you've possessed a unit...
**[20:26] Kai**
...it's called the Vanguard.
**[20:29] Aichi**
Vanguard...
**[20:31] Kai**
It means "one who leads."
**[20:35] Kai**
As astral bodies,
the first units we possess
**[20:38] Kai**
can only be grade 0 units.
**[20:41] Kai**
Start by choosing a
grade 0 unit from your deck
**[20:44] Kai**
and laying it face down here.
**[20:49] Kai**
This card is your first Vanguard.
**[20:52] Kai**
Once that card is turned over,
**[20:54] Kai**
it becomes none other than you.
**[20:58] Kai**
You yourself become the Vanguard,
**[21:00] Kai**
leading the monsters
you have a contract with in battle.
**[21:04] Kai**
After shuffling your deck,
**[21:06] Kai**
place it here and draw
five cards for your hand.
**[21:10] Kai**
At this point, you can redraw any
cards in your hand. Do you need to?
**[21:14] Aichi**
N-No.
**[21:16] Kai**
Then we're ready.
**[21:18] Kai**
Once the first Vanguard
is turned over, the game begins.
**[21:22] Kai**
Ready?!
**[21:23] Aichi**
Y-Yes!
**[21:25] Kai**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[21:25] Aichi**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[23:10] Miwa**
Hey, Kai, what do you do for meals
now that you live alone?
**[23:14] Kai**
I cook for myself.
**[23:15] Miwa**
Wait, what?!
**[23:16] Miwa**
You're one of those guys who can cook?!
**[23:18] Kai**
Is that bad?
**[23:19] Miwa**
Not at all!
**[23:20] Miwa**
Cook something for me too next time!
**[23:22] Kai**
Forget it.
**[23:23] Miwa**
I know how you dodge subjects
when you feel embarrassed.
**[23:28] Kai**
I'm not dodging the subject.
**[23:30] Miwa**
Yeah, right.
**[23:31] Miwa**
Well, you can cook for me anytime!
**[23:33] Miwa**
What's one of your best dishes?

**[00:01] Kai**
I ride Lizard Runner, Undeux!
**[00:04] Aichi**
I ride Grime.
**[00:12] Kai**
By riding these grade 0 units,
**[00:15] Kai**
both of us now stand upon
the planet Cray as Vanguards.
***SIGN*** Image 2 Ride The Vanguard!!
**[01:56] Kai**
So I go first, right?
**[02:01] Kai**
I start by drawing a card from my deck.
**[02:04] Kai**
On my turn, I have one opportunity
to promote my Vanguard by one grade.
**[02:10] Kai**
Ride The Vanguard!
**[02:15] Kai**
Grade 1, Embodiment of Armor, Bahr!
**[02:19] Kai**
I make use of my Undeux's skill
when ridden to draw one card.
**[02:23] Kai**
Furthermore, I may call units of
my grade or lower to any of these five spots.
**[02:30] Kai**
They are called rear-guards.
**[02:33] Kai**
Call The Rear-guard!
**[02:34] Kai**
Grade 1, Dragon Monk, Gojo!
**[02:39] Kai**
And then, I attack!
**[02:41] Kai**
Except the one who goes first
can't attack on the first turn.
**[02:46] Kai**
My turn has ended.
**[02:48] Kai**
Now it's your turn.
**[02:50] Aichi**
R-Right.
**[02:52] Aichi**
I draw one card from my deck.
**[02:56] Aichi**
And then, with a grade 1 Vanguard...
**[02:59] Aichi**
I ride...
**[03:05] Aichi**
Knight Squire, Allen!
**[03:07] Aichi**
Furthermore, for a rear-guard...
**[03:10] Aichi**
I call grade 1, Wingal!
**[03:16] Miwa**
Allen's power is 8000!
**[03:19] Shin**
If you add Wingal's 8000 power,
that makes it 16,000.
**[03:23] Kai**
Right. When you attack, you can add the
back row unit's power to the front row unit.
**[03:29] Aichi**
That's called a "boost," right?
**[03:32] Kai**
Right. Are you gonna attack?
**[03:34] Aichi**
Y-Yes!
**[03:36] Kai**
Then turn the cards you're using
for the attack to the rest position.
**[03:39] Aichi**
Boosted by my rear-guard, Wingal,
my Vanguard attacks Bahr!
**[03:46] Kai**
All right.
**[03:48] Kai**
Now, drive check!
**[03:50] Aichi**
Drive check...
**[03:52] Kai**
Turn over one card from your deck.
**[03:54] Aichi**
O-Okay.
**[03:57] Shin**
If the card turns out to be a trigger unit,
***SIGN*** Critical
***SIGN*** Front
***SIGN*** Heal
***SIGN*** Draw
**[04:00] Shin**
you can activate the effect
indicated by its icon.
**[04:08] Misaki**
No trigger icon.
**[04:10] Kai**
Emboldened by the Vanguard's attack,
a new unit joins in.
**[04:14] Kai**
That's the drive check.
**[04:16] Kai**
Add it to your hand.
**[04:18] Aichi**
Okay.
**[04:21] Kai**
Now, back to the fight.
**[04:24] Aichi**
Right!
**[04:27] Kai**
I took 1 damage.
**[04:30] Kai**
So I do a damage check.
**[04:34] Kai**
No trigger icon.
**[04:36] Kai**
This is what took my damage,
**[04:38] Kai**
so the unit is released from its contract
**[04:40] Kai**
and leaves the Vanguard.
**[04:43] Kai**
It's as though it sensed danger and ran away.
**[04:48] Kai**
Once you have six units like this,
**[04:50] Kai**
or in other words, when you have 6 damage,
**[04:53] Kai**
your contracts with all units are nullified,
**[04:56] Kai**
so you return to astral form
and simply disappear.
**[04:59] Kai**
That fighter has lost.
**[05:03] Kai**
Got all that? Class is over. Let's go!
**[05:06] Aichi**
R-Right!
**[05:08] Kai**
It's my turn. Stand and draw.
**[05:11] Kai**
Ride The Vanguard!
**[05:17] Kai**
Grade 2, Dragon Armored Knight!
**[05:20] Kai**
Call The Rear-guard!
**[05:22] Kai**
Dragon Knight, Nehalem!
**[05:30] Kai**
To me, Gojo!
**[05:35] Miwa**
No trigger icon.
**[05:38] Shin**
Now he has 2 damage.
**[05:41] Kai**
Two units have deserted you.
**[05:44] Kai**
Doesn't that make you feel sad?
**[05:46] Kai**
They gathered for your sake.
**[05:48] Kai**
They look to you for guidance.
**[05:52] Aichi**
I-It's my turn!
**[05:54] Aichi**
Stand and draw!
**[06:01] Kai**
You don't have a grade 2 in your hand?
**[06:04] Aichi**
N-No...
**[06:05] Kai**
This can happen in fights.
**[06:07] Kai**
But even though you can't ride,
you can still take other actions.
**[06:11] Aichi**
F-For a rear-guard, I call...
**[06:14] Aichi**
Knight Squire, Allen!
**[06:18] Aichi**
Margal!
**[06:21] Aichi**
I'm counting on you both! Lend me your power!
**[06:23] Allen**
No problem!
**[06:25] Margal**
Yes, sir.
**[06:28] Miwa**
Margal boosts with 5000 power,
which is added to Allen.
**[06:31] Miwa**
So their power is 13,000!
**[06:33] Miwa**
Dragon Armored Knight has 10,000 power,
so your attack will go through!
**[06:38] Kai**
To me! Red Gem Carbuncle!
**[06:45] Aichi**
But how?!
**[06:47] Kai**
I called Red Gem Carbuncle,
which has a 5000 shield.
**[06:51] Kai**
That's added to Dragon Armored Knight,
**[06:54] Kai**
making my current power 15,000,
which exceeds Allen's.
**[06:58] Aichi**
So the attack didn't go through.
**[07:02] Kai**
When the opponent is attacking,
**[07:04] Kai**
if you have a card that has
a shield ability in your hand,
**[07:07] Kai**
you can call it as a guardian.
**[07:09] Aichi**
A guardian?
**[07:11] Miwa**
That's mean, Kai! You're only
just now telling him about that?!
**[07:16] Kai**
You learn better by doing.
**[07:21] Young Kai**
You learn better by doing!
**[07:26] Kai**
The card you call as a guardian
**[07:29] Kai**
doesn't stick around, but leaves.
**[07:32] Kai**
Thanks for the help, Red Gem.
**[07:34] Carbuncle**
Yes, my Vanguard.
**[07:39] Kai**
So, let's continue.
**[07:42] Aichi**
With a boost from Wingal,
**[07:44] Aichi**
my Vanguard attacks Dragon Armored Knight!
**[07:49] Aichi**
Drive check!
**[07:51] Miwa**
That's...
**[07:53] Kai**
A critical trigger?!
**[07:54] Shin**
A critical trigger can give your opponent
one extra damage.
**[08:03] Miwa**
Because of that, Kai takes 2 damage.
**[08:06] Kai**
Damage check.
**[08:12] Shin**
With this, Kai has 3 damage.
**[08:17] Kai**
It's my turn.
**[08:20] Kai**
What are you smiling about?
**[08:26] Aichi**
I'm happy, Kai.
**[08:29] Miwa**
You're happy?
**[08:48] Aichi**
It's been my longtime dream
to have a Cardfight with Kai like this.
**[08:56] Kai**
I remember you, Aichi Sendou.
**[08:59] Kai**
I remember how battered you were then.
**[09:02] Aichi**
Yeah.
**[09:04] Aichi**
Back then, it was hard for me
to even face going to school.
**[09:09] Aichi**
It felt like I was suffocating
in my own tiny world.
**[09:14] Aichi**
Around then, I would sometimes see you, Kai.
**[09:20] Aichi**
You always looked like you were
having a good time Cardfighting.
**[09:24] Kai**
"Having a good time," huh?
**[09:27] Kai**
Don't say such nonsense!
**[09:29] Kai**
Can you still say that after seeing this?
**[09:32] Kai**
Ride!
**[09:42] Aichi**
W-Wow!
**[09:45] Miwa**
Kai's the first one to ride a grade 3!
**[09:49] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord "The Vanguard"!
**[09:53] Kai**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[09:56] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift?
**[10:06] Aichi**
So this is Imaginary Gift...
**[10:15] Kai**
It's the power you can gain
from your contracted units as a blessing
**[10:18] Kai**
when your Vanguard advances to grade 3.
**[10:22] Miwa**
Dragonic Overlord gets +10,000 power!
**[10:26] Miwa**
On top of that, he calls Bahr and
Red Gem Carbuncle as rear-guards!
**[10:31] Miwa**
Even Crested Dragon!
**[10:35] Kai**
Bahr! Nehalem! Go get him!
**[10:38] The Two**
At your command!
**[10:46] Aichi**
Attend me, Bringer of Good Luck, Epona!
**[10:50] Epona**
Are you well, my Vanguard?
**[10:52] Aichi**
Thank you, Epona!
**[10:54] Aichi**
Retire and get some rest.
**[10:57] Miwa**
Huh, looks that actual experience has paid off!
**[11:01] Kai**
Red Gem, Crested, now it's your turn!
**[11:05] Red Gem**
At your will!
**[11:08] Aichi**
Flogal! Margal!
**[11:12] Kai**
What?!
**[11:13] Misaki**
He guarded again!
**[11:15] Kai**
Then I'll do it myself!
**[11:17] Kai**
Gojo, onward!
**[11:19] Gojo**
My lord!
**[11:22] Kai**
We'll attack the rear-guard Allen!
**[11:24] Kai**
Twin drive!
**[11:26] Aichi**
Twin drive?!
**[11:28] Shin**
A grade 3 Vanguard can do two drive checks.
**[11:32] Kai**
First check.
**[11:34] Kai**
Critical trigger!
**[11:36] Kai**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard.
**[11:38] Kai**
Second check.
**[11:40] Misaki**
Another critical trigger!
**[11:43] Kai**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
**[11:50] Allen**
Hang in there!
**[11:52] Aichi**
Thank you.
**[11:54] Aichi**
Thank goodness he didn't attack my Vanguard.
**[11:57] Kai**
What, are you relieved that
you didn't take any damage?
**[12:01] Kai**
After its attack has hit,
**[12:03] Kai**
if I then discard two cards from my hand,
**[12:05] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord...
**[12:08] Kai**
...stands back up!
**[12:10] Aichi**
Then...
**[12:11] Miwa**
It means he can attack one more time!
**[12:18] Kai**
Behold the power and might
known as the Flames of Apocalypse!
**[12:23] Aichi**
Attend me, guardians!
**[12:27] Misaki**
He managed to guard, huh?
**[12:29] Shin**
No. Dragonic Overlord has 46000 power now.
**[12:35] Shin**
The power of Allen and
the three guardians totals 48000,
**[12:40] Shin**
but Kai has...
**[12:41] Miwa**
...twin drive!
**[12:43] Miwa**
Or I guess that's -1 drive, since he stood.
**[12:48] Miwa**
Either way, if he draws a trigger,
he'll burst through the shields.
**[12:53] Kai**
Drive check.
**[12:59] Aichi**
Three critical triggers in a row?!
**[13:02] Miwa**
+10000 power! That's a total of 56000 power!
**[13:29] Miwa**
That attack did a total of 4 damage...
**[13:32] Miwa**
It's over.
**[13:34] Misaki**
He still has four damage checks.
**[13:40] Shin**
Draw trigger. He can draw one card.
**[13:49] Misaki**
Second one...
**[13:50] Aichi**
No trigger.
**[13:52] Misaki**
Third one...
**[13:53] Aichi**
No trigger.
**[13:57] Miwa**
This is your last damage check.
**[14:06] Misaki**
Fourth one...
**[14:07] Misaki**
Heal trigger!
**[14:09] Shin**
If your amount of damage is equal to
or greater than your opponent's,
**[14:12] Shin**
you can heal 1 damage point.
**[14:15] Miwa**
Kai has 3 damage,
**[14:17] Miwa**
and with the 4 added now,
this guy's got 6 damage.
**[14:20] Miwa**
He heals 1 damage point!
**[14:26] Shin**
That leaves him with a sliver of hope.
**[14:29] Misaki**
But he has 5 damage.
His back is to the wall.
**[14:38] Kai**
Against my might,
you're nothing but trash.
**[14:43] Aichi**
That's right.
**[14:48] Aichi**
Back when I was trash, you told me...
**[14:52] Young Kai**
You can keep this one.
**[14:54] Aichi**
Ever since then,
**[14:57] Aichi**
my world has expanded!
**[15:00] Young Kai**
Come on! Just imagine it!
Imagine yourself being as strong as him.
**[15:07] Aichi**
Stand and draw!
**[15:10] Young Kai**
Imagination will become your strength.
**[15:20] Aichi**
Here I go, Kai!
**[15:22] Aichi**
I ride!
**[15:23] Aichi**
Stand up, my avatar!
**[15:27] Aichi**
From the military force of planet Cray's
**[15:30] Aichi**
hallowed nation of United Sanctuary,
**[15:32] Aichi**
Royal Paladin's Sword of Light!
**[15:38] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[15:43] Aichi**
Ability Blast...
**[15:45] Aichi**
Burst Buster!
**[15:50] Shin**
When Blaster Blade becomes the Vanguard,
**[15:53] Shin**
you can retire one of
your opponent's rear-guard units.
**[15:56] Aichi**
And then I call!
**[15:59] Aichi**
Knight Squire, Allen!
**[16:02] Aichi**
Bringer of Good Luck, Epona!
**[16:07] Aichi**
Knight of Silence, Gallatin!
**[16:20] Aici**
Ever since I first got Blaster Blade,
**[16:24] Aichi**
I've been absorbed in putting together a deck,
since I wanted to have a Cardfight with you, Kai.
**[16:30] Aichi**
When I found out you'd moved away,
**[16:32] Aichi**
I thought things would go back
to the way they were before.
**[16:36] Aichi**
But whenever I'd work on my deck,
I'd forget about anything unpleasant or tough.
**[16:43] Aichi**
I still can't imagine myself
being as strong as Blaster Blade,
**[16:49] Aichi**
but you're the one who gave me
the image of becoming stronger, Kai.
**[16:55] Aichi**
Everyone, lend me your power!
**[16:58] Gallatin**
No problem.
**[16:59] Wingal**
Yes, sir.
**[17:00] The Three**
Aye aye, sir!
**[17:04] Kai**
Guard!
**[17:05] Tahr**
Good luck!
**[17:08] Aichi**
Wingal! Come with me!
**[17:10] Wingal**
Yes, sir!
**[17:12] Aichi**
So being able to fight like this
makes me really happy.
**[17:16] Kai**
Shut up!
**[17:21] Kai**
Don't foist your delusional images on me!
**[17:25] Aichi**
B-But...
**[17:27] Aichi**
I sense it when we're fighting.
**[17:29] Kai**
Sense it? Sense what?
**[17:33] Aichi**
How much you love Vanguard.
**[17:37] Kai**
This kid...
**[17:41] Aichi**
Here I come, Kai!
**[17:43] Kai**
Then come on, Aichi!
**[17:57] Aichi**
Drive check!
**[17:58] Miwa**
Critical trigger!
**[18:00] Miwa**
That gives Kai 2 damage!
**[18:02] Miwa**
So Kai has a total of 5 damage.
**[18:04] Shin**
No, 6.
**[18:05] Miwa**
Huh?
**[18:06] Shin**
If there are four or more rear-guards,
Blaster Blade gets an extra critical.
**[18:12] Miwa**
What?!
**[18:26] Kai**
3 damage...
**[18:30] Kai**
Damage check.
**[18:36] Misaki**
That makes 4 damage.
**[18:40] Misaki**
That makes 5 damage.
**[18:44] Miwa**
But if he gets a heal trigger,
his damage will decrease.
**[19:13] Misaki**
6 damage.
**[19:16] Kai**
So six units have left me.
**[19:25] Kai**
I go back to being just an astral body.
**[19:27] Aichi**
Kai...
**[19:29] Kai**
It's been a long time
since I've had a fight like this.
**[19:41] Miwa**
I didn't think anybody could beat Kai.
**[19:46] Aichi**
Kai!
**[19:48] Kai**
That card is yours, after all.
**[19:55] Aichi**
Kai, thank you.
**[20:06] Aichi**
You always looked like you were
having a good time Cardfighting.
**[20:15] Aichi**
I'm home!
**[20:16] Emi**
Aichi! Where have you been all this time?!
**[20:21] Emi**
What's that smile about?
**[20:29] Mom**
Maybe he has a girlfriend?
**[20:31] Emi**
What?!
**[20:34] Emi**
No way, absolutely not.
**[20:36] Emi**
I bet my intuition as a little sister on it.
**[20:43] Izaki**
I'm telling ya, man...
**[20:45] Morikawa**
I'm gonna use the can.
**[20:46] The Two**
O-Okay...
**[20:50] Izaki**
M-Morikawa!
**[20:56] Izaki**
D-Don't tell me you beat him?!
**[20:59] Aichi**
Yeah.
**[21:01] Aichi**
Morikawa...
**[21:04] The Two**
Morikawa!
**[21:09] Misaki**
Are you waiting for someone?
**[21:12] Aichi**
Y-Yes!
**[21:17] Aichi**
But he might not come here anymore.
**[21:21] Misaki**
I wouldn't worry.
**[21:23] Aichi**
Huh?
**[21:29] Kai**
Hey, Aichi.
**[21:33] Kai**
Wanna play again today?
**[21:38] Aichi**
Yeah!
**[23:10] Aichi**
K-Kai...
**[23:12] Kai**
What is it, Aichi?
**[23:13] Aichi**
Why do you add "The"?
**[23:15] Kai**
"The"?
**[23:16] Aichi**
You say, "Stand up, 'The' Vanguard."
**[23:18] Kai**
What's wrong with that?
**[23:19] Aichi**
The rule book says to say,
"Stand up, Vanguard."
**[23:23] Kai**
You're right...
**[23:25] Kai**
It's just that the guy who
taught me Vanguard always added "The."
**[23:29] Aichi**
Huh, okay.
**[23:30] Kai**
All right, Aichi, now you try using "The."
**[23:33] Aichi**
U-Um...
**[23:34] Aichi**
Stand up, The... er...

**[00:01] Miwa**
All right!
**[00:03] Miwa**
Morikawa, this shop's self-declared
strongest fighter, lost to Kai
**[00:07] Miwa**
Then Kai lost to Aichi, who then lost to me...
**[00:11] Miwa**
Guess that means...
**[00:13] Miwa**
I'm the strongest fighter at Card Capital!
**[00:16] Miwa**
Aw yeah!
**[00:18] Miwa**
How'd ya like that?!
**[00:25] Shin**
This is my shop. Is there something
I can help you with, young lady?
**[00:29] Emi**
N-No, I don't need any help...
**[00:36] Emi**
R-Really, I'm not...
**[00:36] Misaki**
Welcome.
**[00:37] Emi**
Um, I'm not a customer...
**[00:40] Emi**
Um... Um, er, uh...
**[00:42] Emi**
Um... uh...
**[00:48] Emi**
How's it going, Aichi?
**[00:51] Miwa**
Aichi?
**[00:58] Aichi**
Vanguard.
**[00:59] Aichi**
It's a card game in which you yourself
become the vanguard and fight!
**[01:03] Kai**
Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!
***SIGN*** Image 3 Who's the Strongest Cardfighter!!
**[02:47] All**
Little sister?!
**[02:49] Emi**
I'm Emi Sendou.
**[02:51] Emi**
Thank you for letting
my big brother Aichi hang out with you.
**[02:55] Miwa**
Sure, no biggie...
**[02:57] Shin**
She's got a good head on her shoulders.
**[02:59] Misaki**
But why were you peeping through the window?
**[03:01] Emi**
Th-That's because...
**[03:05] Aichi**
See you later!
**[03:07] Emi**
Aichi's been acting weird lately.
**[03:10] Mom**
Weird? How so?
**[03:12] Emi**
He's been staying out late!
And he's in an oddly good mood.
**[03:16] Mom**
There's nothing wrong with that, is there?
**[03:18] Mom**
You don't need to worry about him.
**[03:21] Emi**
I'm not so sure...
**[03:23] Miwa**
I get it.
**[03:25] Miwa**
Naughty boy, making your little sister worry...
**[03:29] Aichi**
Sorry.
**[03:30] Emi**
But now it makes sense.
**[03:32] Emi**
Aichi changed...
**[03:35] Emi**
...after he starting coming to this shop, right?
**[03:40] Miwa**
So then!
**[03:42] Miwa**
I'm this shop's strongest--
**[03:44] Kamui**
Who's this shop's strongest fighter?!
**[03:47] The Two**
Huh...?
**[03:51] Kamui**
I, Kamui Katsuragi, have come to
challenge this shop's strongest fighter!
**[03:56] Kamui**
Wh-What're you doing?!
**[03:59] Misaki**
You're bothering the other customers.
**[04:01] Misaki**
If you're going to be noisy, you can't come in.
**[04:04] Kamui**
Wait...
**[04:05] Kamui**
I'm sorry!
**[04:07] Misaki**
All right.
**[04:08] Kamui**
Please tell me which fighter
is the strongest at this shop.
**[04:11] Misaki**
Why?
**[04:13] Kamui**
I have to beat the strongest fighter
so that I'll be stronger than anyone else!
**[04:23] Misaki**
That one, I guess.
**[04:34] Kamui**
That b-b-beautiful girl is the strongest?!
**[04:39] Miwa**
Of course not!
**[04:40] Miwa**
This shop's strongest fighter
is none other than me, Taishi Miwa!
**[04:45] Kai**
But you usually lose to me.
**[04:47] Kai**
Yeah, well you lost to Aichi before!
**[04:50] Emi**
Huh?
**[04:51] Emi**
Aichi, you beat that tough-looking guy?!
**[04:54] Aichi**
But then Miwa beat me.
**[05:02] Kamui**
The heck does that mean?!
**[05:07] Kamui**
I guess they're the strongest group...?
**[05:10] Kamui**
Then I'm gonna defeat all you guys!
**[05:14] Miwa**
Cheeky little brat. I'll beat you easily.
**[05:22] Miwa**
I lost...
**[05:27] Miwa**
Did I make some mistake?
**[05:28] Kai**
No. He's just a strong player.
**[05:31] Miwa**
Really?
**[05:33] Kai**
Stronger than you, anyway.
**[05:35] Miwa**
Say what?!
**[05:36] Miwa**
Fine, you try fighting him!
**[05:38] Kai**
Aichi.
**[05:40] Aichi**
Huh? Me?!
**[05:42] Miwa**
What are you talking about?!
**[05:44] Miwa**
Aichi lost to me, remember?!
**[05:46] Kai**
Go on, Aichi.
**[05:47] Kai**
You beat me before.
Remember what you imagined then.
**[05:52] Aichi**
O-Okay...
**[05:53] Emi**
Then Aichi really did beat him...
**[06:01] Kamui**
What? You're up next?
**[06:06] Kamui**
He wants to be the Final Boss, huh?
**[06:09] Kamui**
I'll get this over with,
then drag 'im out to fight!
**[06:18] Aichi**
N-Nice to meet you. I'm Aichi Sendou.
**[06:22] Kamui**
I'm the Great Kamui Katsuragi.
**[06:25] Emi**
Good luck, Aichi!
**[06:26] Kamui**
Wha...?!
**[06:28] Kamui**
That beautiful girl...
**[06:29] Kamui**
...is this guy's girlfriend?!
**[06:33] Kamui**
I'm gonna cream this creep!
**[06:35] Kamui**
Let's go!
**[06:37] Aichi**
O-Okay!
**[06:40] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[06:47] Aichi**
I ride Grime.
**[06:53] Kamui**
The Great Kamui rides Battleraizer!
**[07:02] Aichi**
A r-robot?!
**[07:05] Kamui**
Huh, so your clan's Royal Paladin?
**[07:09] Emi**
Clan?
**[07:10] Shin**
I'll explain clans.
**[07:12] Shin**
They're like organizations
that the card units belong to.
**[07:16] Aichi**
I ride...
**[07:22] Aichi**
Knight Squire, Allen!
**[07:26] Shin**
Aichi's clan, Royal Paladin,
**[07:29] Shin**
is the military force of the
hallowed nation of United Sanctuary.
**[07:32] Shin**
It's noted for its steady offensive power.
**[07:35] Kamui**
The Great Kamui rides!
**[07:44] Kamui**
Raizer Custom!
**[07:46] Kamui**
And then I call Jet Raizer and Raizer Custom!
**[07:52] Shin**
Kamui's clan, Nova Grappler,
employs every form of unarmed combat.
**[07:56] Shin**
They attack relentlessly from the very start.
**[07:58] Emi**
Uh... huh...
**[08:01] Kamui**
Go, Jet Raizer!
**[08:06] Aichi**
Margal!
**[08:12] Kamui**
Now it's my turn!
**[08:14] Kamui**
Let's roll!
**[08:18] Kamui**
How'd ya like my power?!
**[08:21] Emi**
Now Aichi has 1 damage...
**[08:23] Emi**
What's going to happen to him?!
**[08:26] Miwa**
Nothing's gonna happen yet.
**[08:28] Miwa**
However...
**[08:30] Emi**
However?
**[08:31] Miwa**
If you get 6 damage, you lose.
**[08:35] Miwa**
For Aichi, that's 5 more damage.
**[08:40] Emi**
Hang in there, Aichi!
**[08:56] Aichi**
Stand up, my avatar!
**[09:03] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[09:05] Kamui**
Blaster Blade?!
**[09:07] Kamui**
You've got a rare card like that?!
**[09:10] Aichi**
Ability Blast!
**[09:14] Aichi**
Burst Buster!
**[09:19] Aichi**
Knight of Silence, Gallatin!
**[09:21] Aichi**
Wingal!
**[09:25] Aichi**
Follow me!
**[09:35] Emi**
His opponent has 2 damage!
**[09:40] Kamui**
It's the Great Kamui's turn!
**[09:41] Kamui**
I ride!
**[09:46] Kamui**
Hi-powered Raizer Custom!
**[09:50] Kamui**
And then I call Hi-powered Raizer Custom!
**[09:56] Shin**
The skill of the Hi-powered
Raizer Custom he called
**[09:59] Shin**
let him call Battleraizer too.
**[10:03] Kamui**
I'm counting on ya!
**[10:13] Aichi**
Thank you, Gallatin.
**[10:14] Gallatin**
No problem.
**[10:17] Miwa**
He pulled through with an intercept.
**[10:20] Emi**
An intercept?
**[10:21] Miwa**
Yeah. An intercept is...
**[10:23] Shin**
An intercept is...
**[10:26] Shin**
...a skill that grade 2 units possess.
**[10:29] Shin**
They can switch from being rear-guards
to guardians in order to protect other units.
**[10:34] Emi**
I see...
**[10:36] Shin**
Normally, you can only call
guardians from your hand,
**[10:39] Shin**
but what's effective about
having them on the board
**[10:42] Shin**
is that they provide both offensive and
defensive strength simultaneously...
**[10:45] Emi**
This is kind of hard to follow...
**[10:47] Kamui**
I'm not done yet!
**[10:55] Kamui**
Hi-powered Raizer Custom is so cool!
**[11:00] Emi**
Aichi has 2 damage!
**[11:02] Miwa**
Uh-oh...
**[11:04] Miwa**
Maybe it was just a fluke
when he beat Kai, Manager.
**[11:08] Emi**
A fluke?
**[11:09] Shin**
I don't know...
**[11:11] Kai**
That's not the way I see it.
**[11:21] Aichi**
Here I go, Kamui!
**[11:24] Kamui**
You seem different now...
**[11:27] Aichi**
I ride this unit!
**[11:36] Aichi**
Come to me now,
**[11:37] Aichi**
leader of light!
**[11:39] Aichi**
Prince of Royal Paladins!
**[11:42] Aichi**
Alfred Early!
**[11:47] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift!
**[11:50] Aichi**
Force!
**[11:50] Emi**
Imaginary Gift?
**[12:12] Shin**
It's the power given to your Vanguard
by your comrades when you ride a grade 3.
**[12:17] Shin**
That's called an Imaginary Gift.
**[12:19] Miwa**
Alfred Early gets +10,000 power!
**[12:22] Emi**
10,000!
**[12:24] Kamui**
Shoot!
**[12:25] Kai**
You see now?
**[12:27] Kai**
Aichi's deck has more than just Blaster Blade.
**[12:33] Aichi**
Alfred Early's skill activates!
**[12:37] Emi**
Huh?
**[12:38] Shim**
Alfred Early can call Blaster
Blade from the Soul.
**[12:43] Miwa**
On top of that, Blaster
Blade gets +10,000 power!
**[12:47] Emi**
Another 10,000?! That's great!
**[12:49] Shin**
It sure is great!
**[12:51] Emi**
Uh... uh-huh...
**[12:52] Aichi**
And then I call!
**[12:55] Aichi**
Stardrive Dragon!
**[13:02] Aichi**
Margal!
**[13:11] Aichi**
Here I come!
**[13:20] Kamui**
Wall Boy!
**[13:25] Aichi**
Twin drive!
**[13:26] Aichi**
First check.
**[13:29] Kamui**
Critical trigger?!
**[13:31] Aichi**
I give the power to Blaster Blade,
**[13:33] Aichi**
and the extra critical to my Vanguard!
**[13:36] Aichi**
Second check!
**[13:40] Kamui**
Damage check!
**[13:41] Kamui**
First card...
**[13:42] Kamui**
Draw trigger!
**[13:44] Kamui**
All right! I can draw a card!
**[13:47] Kamui**
I give the effect to my Vanguard!
**[13:49] Kamui**
Second card...
**[13:50] Kamui**
No trigger.
**[13:51] Aichi**
Wingal! Us too!
**[13:53] Wingal**
Yes, sir!
**[13:55] Emi**
That's 5 damage!
**[13:58] Kamui**
Twin Blader!
**[14:02] Miwa**
Perfect guard, huh?
**[14:04] Emi**
Perfect guard?
**[14:05] Shin**
A perfect guard is...
**[14:07] Emi**
Oh!
**[14:08] Emi**
I bet that it means the ability to
completely block your opponent's attack!
**[14:12] Shin**
Th-That's right. You catch on quick.
You have a promising future.
**[14:17] Miwa**
Either way, that Kamui kid has 4 damage!
**[14:20] Miwa**
I think Aichi's got the upper hand!
**[14:23] Emi**
That's the way, Aichi!
**[14:26] Kamui**
That was just a warm-up! I'm gonna show you
the power of the Great Undefeated Kamui!
**[14:31] Emi**
Undefeated?
**[14:33] Kamui**
The Great Kamui rides!
**[14:44] Kamui**
Perfect Raizer!
**[14:47] Kamui**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[14:50] Emi**
His Imaginary Gift is different from Aichi's.
**[14:57] Kamui**
Accel Circle!
**[14:58] Kamui**
This is also a rear-guard circle!
**[15:00] Miwa**
Yikes! There he goes!
**[15:02] Miwa**
This is how he took me out!
**[15:04] Emi**
Huh?
**[15:05] Kamui**
I call!
**[15:20] Miwa**
Since his front row rear-guards
got one extra unit,
**[15:23] Miwa**
he can now do four attacks!
**[15:25] Emi**
Four attacks?!
**[15:26] Kamui**
Asura Kaiser!
**[15:33] Emi**
Now he's got 3 damage!
**[15:40] Aichi**
Thank you, Blaster Blade.
**[15:43] Blaster**
Yes, my Vanguard.
**[15:45] Kamui**
You struggle in vain!
**[15:48] Aichi**
Gallatin!
**[15:51] Kamui**
I told ya!
**[15:52] Kamui**
There's no point in resisting!
**[15:55] Emi**
This'll be the fourth and final attack!
**[15:58] Miwa**
Actually...
**[16:05] Kamui**
Twin drive!
**[16:07] Kamui**
First check!
**[16:08] Kamui**
Front trigger!
**[16:10] Kamui**
With this, all my front row
units get +10,000 power!
**[16:16] Kamui**
Second check!
**[16:18] Kamui**
Another front trigger!
**[16:20] Kamui**
That's another +10,000 power!
**[16:28] Miwa**
That makes 4 damage!
**[16:29] Emi**
Still, now it's Aichi's turn!
**[16:31] Miwa**
No, he can still make two attacks!
**[16:34] Emi**
But why?!
**[16:36] Shin**
When Perfect Raizer attacks,
**[16:38] Shin**
if he pays the cost,
he can stand two rear-guards.
**[16:45] Emi**
That was paying the cost...?
**[16:48] Kamui**
It's all over!
**[16:49] Emi**
He's a goner!
**[16:51] Kai**
I'm not so sure.
**[16:52] Emi**
Huh?
**[16:53] Kai**
Aichi doesn't think so.
**[16:57] Emi**
This isn't the Aichi I know...
**[17:00] Kamui**
Asura Kaiser!
**[17:01] Kamui**
One more time!
**[17:05] Misaki**
5 damage!
**[17:06] Shin**
Misaki?
***SIGN*** Sub Manager
**[17:13] Kamui**
Here's where...
**[17:15] Kamui**
...I finish you off!
**[17:19] Aichi**
Guard!
**[17:24] Emi**
Huh?
**[17:28] Aichi**
Thank you, Epona and Epona.
**[17:31] Kamui**
I-It can't be!
**[17:33] Kamui**
My sixth attack didn't finish him off?!
**[17:38] Aichi**
It's my turn!
**[17:40] Aichi**
Here I go, Kamui!
**[17:42] Kamui**
F-Fine, do your worst!
**[17:46] Kai**
Looks like he never imagined
there would be a next turn.
**[17:49] Kai**
But Aichi did imagine it happening.
**[17:54] Aichi**
Call!
**[17:59] Aichi**
Wingal, lend me your power!
**[18:01] Wingal**
Aye aye, sir!
**[18:03] Aichi**
Twin drive!
**[18:04] Aichi**
First check!
**[18:09] Aichi**
Second check!
**[18:17] Kamui**
A critical trigger?!
**[18:36] Kamui**
Damage check!
**[18:39] Misaki**
That makes 5 damage.
**[18:42] Kamui**
This time for sure!
**[18:58] Kamui**
The Great Kamui... has lost.
**[19:03] Aichi**
Th-Thank you for the game.
**[19:10] Miwa**
It's like when he played against you.
**[19:12] Miwa**
Aichi drew a trigger right when he needed it.
**[19:16] Kai**
Still think it was a fluke?
**[19:18] Miwa**
You think it wasn't?
**[19:20] Kai**
Ever since he got Blaster Blade,
**[19:23] Kai**
because he never fought,
**[19:25] Kai**
he was putting together a deck
with only his imagination to guide him.
**[19:29] Kai**
That deck must be imbued
with the full range of his emotions.
**[19:33] Kai**
It won't betray those feelings.
**[19:37] Kai**
And the more he fights, the more
his imagination continues to evolve.
**[19:42] Kai**
That's how he beat Kamui and me.
**[19:46] Miwa**
I guess that makes sense...
**[19:49] Kamui**
I'd been undefeated
since I first started using this deck...
**[19:54] Kamui**
Just what are you, Aichi Sendou?!
**[19:57] Emi**
You did it, Aichi!
**[19:59] Aichi**
That hurt, Emi!
**[20:01] Shin**
Good thing you didn't embarrass yourself
in front of your little sister.
**[20:05] Kamui**
Little sister?
**[20:08] Kamui**
You're her big brother?!
**[20:12] Kamui**
All right, that settles it!
**[20:14] Kamui**
As of this moment,
you're my goal, big brother Aichi!
**[20:18] Aichi**
What?!
**[20:19] Kamui**
I'm counting on ya, Brother Aichi!
**[20:22] Emi**
Good for you, Aichi!
**[20:27] Aichi**
B-But I'm still just a beginner...
**[20:31] Miwa**
That's right! If you want a goal,
aim for me, the guy who beat Aichi!
**[20:36] Kamui**
What're you talking about?!
I already beat you!
**[20:42] Kamui**
Not again!
**[20:47] Shin**
Are you interested now too, Misaki?
**[20:49] Misaki**
Not at all!
**[20:56] Emi**
Please teach me how to play Vanguard, too!
**[21:02] Kamui**
I-If you like, the Great...
uh... I mean, I could...
**[21:07] Miwa**
If you need a teacher, I'm your man!
**[21:12] Shin**
Aren't you in grade school, Kamui?
**[21:14] Kamui**
Y-Yes.
**[21:16] Shin**
A fellow grade schooler
should be the one to teach her!
**[21:23] Emi**
Thank you!
**[21:28] Kamui**
I guess I could...
**[21:31] Kamui**
Come on!
**[21:32] Kamui**
Let's sit over here, Miss Emi!
**[21:35] Kamui**
It's easy to learn as we fight.
**[23:10] Kamui**
You see, Miss Emi, Vanguard is a card game
where each player has a deck of 50 cards...
**[23:17] Sub Manager**
Meow...
**[23:17] Emi**
How cute!
**[23:19] Emi**
What's the kitty's name?
**[23:21] Misaki**
His name is "Sub Manager,"
**[23:23] Misaki**
but he'll only answer to "Manager."
**[23:26] Emi**
Impressive!
**[23:27] Misaki**
But the manager here isn't that impressive.
**[23:30] Shin**
I heard that, Misaki.
**[23:32] Sub Manager**
Meow!
**[23:33] Emi**
Adorable!
**[23:34] Kamui**
U-Um, Miss Emi, about Vanguard...

**[00:04] Akari**
Misaki!
**[00:06] Akari**
We're all going to karaoke!
**[00:09] Akari**
Want to join us?
**[00:11] Misaki**
Sorry, I have work.
**[00:16] Classmate A**
She's as unfriendly as ever.
**[00:18] Classmate B**
And kind of scary.
**[00:20] Classmate C**
Maybe the rumors are true,
that she's the boss of a girl gang?
**[00:28] Akari**
I don't think so.
**[00:32] Aichi**
Vanguard.
**[00:33] Aichi**
It's a card game in which you yourself
become the vanguard and fight!
**[00:38] Kai**
Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!
***SIGN*** Image 4 Misaki's Secret!!
**[02:21] Aichi**
Wh-What was that?!
**[02:24] Kamui**
I want you to look over my deck
and give me some advice!
**[02:29] Aichi**
B-But why me?
**[02:31] Kamui**
'Cause you're my goal, Brother Aichi!
**[02:35] Aichi**
I think Kai would know more
about the subject, though.
**[02:41] Kamui**
That guy rubs me the wrong way.
**[02:47] Miwa**
I lost again!
**[02:49] Misaki**
Keep it down!
**[02:53] Emi**
Say, Aichi, did you really beat that Kai person?
**[02:57] Aichi**
Y-Yes, but just once.
**[03:00] Aichi**
Plus, I think I only won that time...
**[03:05] Aichi**
...because Kai was guiding me
through my first Vanguard fight.
**[03:14] Aichi**
That's right.
**[03:16] Aichi**
Kai is my vanguard.
**[03:20] Customer A**
Hey, kid, you wanna fight me?
**[03:26] Emi**
Aichi!
**[03:29] Aichi**
I-I'm still a beginner, so, um...
**[03:33] Kamui**
What're ya nervous about, Brother Aichi?
**[03:36] Kamui**
Getting to fight all sorts of people
**[03:39] Kamui**
is the best thing about
a fighters' lounge like this.
**[03:43] Kamui**
Sure, the Great Kamui will fight ya!
**[03:48] Aichi**
Go ahead.
**[03:50] Aichi**
I'm going to go look at the new packs.
**[03:54] Emi**
A-Aichi, wait!
**[03:58] Aichi**
The thought of fighting someone
I don't know makes me nervous.
**[04:02] Emi**
But isn't it important to try
fighting a bunch of different people?
**[04:07] Aichi**
That's true.
**[04:08] Emi**
Then do your best with the next one.
**[04:11] Aichi**
Okay.
**[04:13] Aichi**
I'll buy this, please.
**[04:15] Misaki**
Sure.
**[04:16] Customer A**
Shut up! I said I didn't do it!
**[04:20] Kamui**
Just gimme back my Perfect Raizer!
**[04:24] Customer A**
I don't know anything about that.
**[04:26] Customer A**
Don't go making weird false accusations.
**[04:29] Aichi**
What's wrong?
**[04:30] Kamui**
While we were putting our cards away,
**[04:33] Kamui**
this guy stole the Great Kamui's Perfect Raizer!
**[04:37] Customer A**
Say what?!
**[04:38] Customer A**
I already had Perfect Raizer in my deck!
**[04:43] Customer A**
What're you trying to do?!
**[04:54] Customer A**
What?!
**[04:56] Misaki**
You come here occasionally,
**[05:00] Misaki**
but you've never used Perfect Raizer.
**[05:02] Customer A**
H-How would you know that?
**[05:05] Misaki**
Sorry, but I remember every Cardfight
that I've watched at this shop.
**[05:12] Customer A**
You expect me to believe that?!
**[05:15] Misaki**
Nobody said you have to believe it.
**[05:17] Misaki**
Besides, you don't need
Perfect Raizer in your deck.
**[05:24] Misaki**
Here.
**[05:26] Customer A**
Wh-What's the big idea, giving him that?!
**[05:33] Misaki**
Sheesh! Don't go stealing
other people's cards! You scum!
***SIGN*** Scum
**[05:37] Misaki**
Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum!
**[05:39] Misaki**
Scum! Scum!
**[05:40] Customer A**
What're you kids staring at?!
**[05:43] Misaki**
They're staring because they've
never seen scum like you before!
**[05:46] Misaki**
You scumbag!
**[05:50] Misaki**
And don't come back!
**[05:52] Miwa**
Nice one!
**[05:54] Shin**
Ahh, that's our Misaki!
**[05:58] Misaki**
Incompetent manager...
**[06:01] Kamui**
Thanks a lot!
**[06:03] Misaki**
No thanks necessary.
**[06:05] Misaki**
He's acted suspiciously before.
**[06:09] Miwa**
Still, that was great!
**[06:11] Miwa**
Telling him you remember
all the Cardfights, what a bluff!
**[06:16] Misaki**
I wasn't bluffing.
**[06:19] Misaki**
I'm always watching.
**[06:21] Kamui**
Then you really remember all the Cardfights?
**[06:25] Kamui**
That's an incredible ability!
**[06:29] Kamui**
I bet you're an awesome Cardfighter!
**[06:33] Kamui**
C'mon, fight me!
**[06:36] Misaki**
I've never been in a Cardfight.
**[06:47] Kamui**
Seriously?! But you work here!
**[06:49] Misaki**
Why does that matter?
I'm just not interested.
**[06:57] Aichi**
Th-Then, will you have a Cardfight with me?
**[07:01] Misaki**
Huh?
**[07:02] Emi**
Aichi?
**[07:05] Aichi**
D-Don't worry.
**[07:08] Aichi**
I'm a beginner too,
so we can try it together.
**[07:12] Misaki**
He wasn't the kind of guy
to say things like that before...
**[07:18] Misaki**
Did Vanguard change him?
**[07:24] Misaki**
Then I guess I'll try it once.
**[07:28] Shin**
YES!!
**[07:30] Shin**
The time has finally come!
**[07:32] Shin**
Misaki, who has never shown
the slightest interest in Vanguard before,
**[07:35] Shin**
is in the mood for a fight at last!
**[07:39] Shin**
Thank you, Aichi!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
**[07:41] Aichi**
Uh, I didn't do anything...
**[07:44] Shin**
Misaki, this is the deck
I prepared for your big day!
**[07:48] Misaki**
S-Sure...
**[07:49] Shin**
Now, let's get started!
**[07:59] Kamui**
All right! This time, I'll explain the rules!
**[08:04] Misaki**
There's no need.
**[08:05] Misaki**
I pretty much have the rules down.
**[08:09] Misaki**
I learned them while watching
the fights in this shop.
**[08:13] Kamui**
Oh, right...
**[08:19] Aichi**
N-Nice to meet you.
**[08:22] Aichi**
I-I'm Aichi Sendou.
**[08:25] Misaki**
Misaki Tokura.
**[08:27] Shin**
You're done with introductions, right?
**[08:29] Shin**
Then start the fight!
**[08:32] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[08:49] Kamui**
Brother Aichi rode Glyme.
**[08:52] Miwa**
And the clerk rode Lozenge Magus.
**[08:57] Shin**
Now, imagine it!
**[08:59] Shin**
Imagine Misaki riding Lozenge Magus!
**[09:08] Misaki**
Keep your mouth shut!
**[09:10] Shin**
Grumpy-pants...
**[09:12] Misaki**
I ride!
**[09:16] Misaki**
Circle Magus!
**[09:18] Emi**
So her clan is Oracle Think Tank, huh?
**[09:22] Shin**
Oracle Think Tank is...
**[09:25] Kamui**
A c-corporate giant associated
with fortune tellers and prophets.
**[09:29] Kamui**
It's a clan with strong defense,
that fights with deliberation.
**[09:34] Emi**
Huh! I can't wait to find
the clan that's right for me!
***SIGN*** Sub Manager
**[09:42] Kamui**
Brother Aichi is riding
Knight Squire, Allen and has 1 damage.
**[09:47] Kamui**
She's riding Promise Daughter and has 2 damage.
**[09:52] Kamui**
It's Aichi's turn next.
**[09:55] Emi**
Right.
**[10:00] Aichi**
I ride!
**[10:01] Aichi**
Stand up, my avatar!
**[10:14] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[10:17] Kamui**
There he is! Blaster Blade!
**[10:19] Emi**
Now my brother can remove one rear-guard, right?
**[10:23] Kamui**
You catch on quick, Miss Emi!
**[10:25] Aichi**
Ability Blast!
**[10:27] Aichi**
Burst Buster!
**[10:32] Aichi**
Move back, Wingal!
**[10:35] Aichi**
Knight of Silence, Gallatin!
**[10:40] Aichi**
I'm counting on you!
**[10:42] Gallatin**
No problem!
**[10:43] Wingal**
Yes, sir!
**[10:45] Misaki**
Oracle Guardian, Nike!
**[10:47] Aichi**
Then I'll move. Let's go, Margal!
**[10:50] Margal**
Aye aye, sir!
**[10:53] Aichi**
Drive check!
**[10:55] Emi**
It's a critical trigger!
**[10:57] Kamui**
You've really got this down, Miss Emi!
**[11:06] Emi**
She already has 4 damage.
**[11:09] Kamui**
This is Brother Aichi's pattern
for surefire victory.
**[11:11] Emi**
Yeah!
**[11:14] Misaki**
I ride!
**[11:16] Misaki**
Imperial Daughter!
**[11:22] Misaki**
Imaginary Gift! Protect!
**[11:25] Emi**
I haven't seen that Imaginary Gift before!
**[11:27] Shin**
There are three kinds of Imaginary G--
**[11:30] Kamui**
There are three kinds,
**[11:31] Kamui**
but unlike Brother Aichi's Force,
**[11:33] Kamui**
or the Great... er, I mean, my Accel...
**[11:39] Emi**
Huh? She put it in her hand?
**[11:42] Kamui**
Right. Her Protect lets her take action
during her opponent's turn.
**[11:47] Emi**
During her opponent's turn?
**[11:48] Kamui**
Yeah.
**[11:50] Misaki**
Imperial Daughter's skill activates!
**[11:54] Emi**
She looks at two cards,
**[11:56] Emi**
adds one of them to her hand,
**[11:58] Emi**
and puts the other on top of her deck.
**[12:00] Kamui**
What the heck?
**[12:02] Emi**
What's wrong?
**[12:03] Kamui**
Check out how many cards
they have in their hands.
**[12:06] Emi**
What about it?
**[12:08] Kamui**
Even though Brother Aichi only has four cards,
**[12:10] Kamui**
she already has nine cards!
**[12:13] Emi**
You're right!
**[12:14] Kamui**
This is what makes Oracle Think Tank so scary,
**[12:19] Kamui**
but isn't this the first time
she's touched that deck?
**[12:23] Shin**
Oh, you noticed too, Kamui?
**[12:26] Emi**
Noticed what?
**[12:28] Kamui**
The way she's playing,
it's hard to believe she's a beginner.
**[12:32] Misaki**
I call!
**[12:33] Misaki**
Amaterasu!
**[12:37] Misaki**
Promise Daughter!
**[12:40] Misaki**
Two Oracle Guardian, Gemini units!
**[12:45] Misaki**
Let's go, everyone!
**[12:47] Amaterasu**
No problem.
**[12:48] Promise Daughter**
Yes, ma'am.
**[12:49] Gemini**
Aye aye, ma'am!
**[12:53] Blaster Blade**
My Vanguard!
**[12:55] Emi**
An intercept!
**[12:56] Kamui**
Right as always, Miss Emi!
**[12:59] Misaki**
Then I'll do it myself!
**[13:03] Misaki**
Twin drive!
**[13:05] Misaki**
First check!
**[13:06] Misaki**
Second check!
**[13:08] Misaki**
I give the power to Amaterasu,
**[13:10] Misaki**
and the extra critical to Imperial Daughter!
**[13:19] Aichi**
Epona! Flogal!
**[13:28] Miwa**
He managed to keep it down to 3 damage, somehow.
**[13:32] Emi**
Aichi...
**[13:33] Kamui**
I... I knew it.
**[13:35] Kamui**
Anyone fighting like this is no beginner!
**[13:39] Shin**
Misaki has been watching
Aichi's fights here all this time.
**[13:44] Shin**
I figured she would be able to fight like this.
**[13:47] Kamui**
Then, has she seen through
the flaws in my deck, too?
**[13:51] Kamui**
That's scary! Talk about occult!
**[13:54] Shin**
It's not scary. It's actually a little sad.
**[14:01] Shin**
Tragically, she lost her parents
when she was very young.
**[14:07] Shin**
I think a part of her didn't want
to lose any memories of her parents,
**[14:13] Shin**
and that's why she acquired that ability.
**[14:20] Kai**
I think it's called an eidetic memory?
**[14:22] Kamui**
Eidetic memory?
**[14:25] Kai**
Another name for it is "photographic memory."
**[14:28] Kamui**
Photographic memory?
**[14:30] Kai**
Yeah.
**[14:30] Kai**
It's the ability to picture even
brief memories like they're photographs.
**[14:36] Kai**
Compared to regular memories, the amount
of detail that can be stored is phenomenal.
**[14:41] Miwa**
Then she totally knows what card Aichi is gonna use?
**[14:49] Emi**
Aichi...
**[14:51] Kai**
But Misaki's memories are of the past Aichi.
**[14:57] Aichi**
I ride!
**[15:04] Aichi**
Alfred Early!
**[15:07] Kai**
I wonder how far she'll get against Aichi,
who evolves with every battle.
**[15:14] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[15:29] Kai**
Besides, there's something she's afraid of.
**[15:34] Kai**
That's how it looks to me.
**[15:41] Friend A**
Shin, beat the manager today!
**[15:45] Manager**
It's my turn, huh?
**[15:53] Shin**
I'm just no match for you
when you play seriously, Uncle.
**[15:57] Manager**
It wouldn't do to lose to my nephew yet.
**[16:00] Manager**
But you're definitely improving, Shin.
**[16:07] Misaki**
Why are you so good at that, Papa?
**[16:09] Manager**
Good question.
**[16:11] Manager**
Maybe because I love Vanguard?
**[16:16] Misaki**
I was afraid.
**[16:19] Misaki**
Afraid of facing Vanguard,
which Dad loved so much...
**[16:23] Misaki**
But...
**[16:25] Aichi**
I attack your Vanguard with Alfred Early,
boosted by Margal!
**[16:30] Misaki**
Activate Protect!
**[16:33] Emi**
That's the Imaginary Gift card!
**[16:37] Misaki**
I give the effect to Imperial Daughter!
**[16:40] Emi**
What's going on?!
**[16:42] Kamui**
Now Brother Aichi's attack
can't hit Imperial Daughter!
**[16:47] Emi**
Perfect guard...
**[16:49] Kamui**
That's right, Miss Emi!
**[16:51] Emi**
So this is the action she can take
during her opponent's turn.
**[16:55] Kamui**
But Brother Aichi's attack isn't over yet!
**[16:59] Aichi**
Twin drive! First check!
**[17:02] Aichi**
Critical trigger!
**[17:04] Aichi**
I give all the effects to Blaster Blade!
**[17:07] Aichi**
Second check!
**[17:08] Aichi**
Critical trigger!
**[17:10] Kamui**
Awesome! A double critical trigger!
**[17:13] Aichi**
I give all of the effects to Blaster Blade!
**[17:15] Emi**
Aichi!
**[17:17] Aichi**
I attack Imperial Daughter
with Blaster Blade, boosted by Wingal!
**[17:22] Kamui**
Right now, Blaster Blade has 3 criticals.
**[17:24] Kamui**
Plus, his power is 53,000!
**[17:27] Emi**
Aichi!
**[17:28] Misaki**
Weather Forecaster, Miss Mist!
**[17:36] Emi**
Another perfect guard!
**[17:38] Kamui**
So close!
**[17:40] Aichi**
Wow! Misaki really brings out
the power of the cards.
**[17:44] Aichi**
I can't believe this is
her first time Cardfighting!
**[17:49] Misaki**
He's changed so much after coming
face-to-face with Vanguard.
**[17:53] Misaki**
Which means...
**[17:55] Misaki**
Maybe I can change, too.
**[17:58] Misaki**
Here I come, Aichi Sendou!
**[18:01] Aichi**
I'm ready, Misaki!
**[18:03] Misaki**
I ride!
**[18:04] Misaki**
Imperial Daughter!
**[18:10] Emi**
She rode the same card?
**[18:12] Kamui**
When you ride an Imperial Daughter
onto a grade 3 unit,
**[18:16] Kamui**
you get +15,000 power and an extra critical.
**[18:20] Emi**
That much?!
**[18:22] Kamui**
That's not all.
**[18:24] Misaki**
Imaginary Gift! Protect!
**[18:27] Kamui**
She can also add Protect
to her hand one more time.
**[18:31] Emi**
Wow...
**[18:32] Misaki**
Furthermore, I call!
**[18:34] Misaki**
Silent Tom!
**[18:36] Misaki**
Oracle Guardian, Gemini!
**[18:41] Miwa**
This is an all-out war!
**[18:49] Miwa**
Right now, Imperial Daughter has 41,000 power.
**[18:53] Kamui**
Including the guardians' power,
Alfred Early has 53,000!
**[18:57] Kamui**
The attack won't go through!
**[18:59] Kai**
No, if she gets a trigger, or...
**[19:02] Misaki**
Twin drive! First check!
**[19:05] Aichi**
Critical trigger?!
**[19:07] Misaki**
I give all of the effects to Imperial Daughter!
**[19:10] Misaki**
Second check.
**[19:12] Kamui**
She got a double, too?!
**[19:14] Misaki**
I give all of the effects to Imperial Daughter!
**[19:17] Miwa**
Now Imperial Daughter's power is 61,000!
**[19:22] Kamui**
The attack's gonna go through!
**[19:45] Miwa**
6 damage.
**[19:48] Aichi**
Thank you for the game.
**[19:57] Emi**
Aww, Aichi lost.
**[20:01] Kamui**
That's too bad, huh, Brother Aichi?
**[20:05] Kamui**
Still, she just got a lucky win!
**[20:07] Aichi**
That's not true.
**[20:15] Misaki**
Why are you so good at that, Papa?
**[20:17] Manager**
Good question.
**[20:19] Manager**
Maybe because I love Vanguard?
**[20:26] Aichi**
Misaki really is strong.
**[20:28] Kamui**
Oh, come on! That supernatural witch?
**[20:32] Misaki**
Hey!
**[20:33] Kamui**
Gulp!
**[20:34] Misaki**
You're next. Let's start.
**[20:37] Kamui**
Huh?!
**[20:37] Emi**
I wanna watch!
**[20:38] Shin**
Thank you, Aichi.
**[20:40] Kamui**
I'll do my best.
**[20:40] Aichi**
Manager?
**[20:42] Shin**
Misaki was finally able to face Vanguard,
**[20:46] Shin**
thanks to you, Aichi.
**[20:48] Aichi**
Excuse me?
**[20:48] Shin**
You're...
**[20:49] Misaki**
Hurry up.
**[20:50] Kamui**
R-Right!
**[20:51] Shin**
...Misaki's vanguard.
**[20:53] Aichi**
Huh?!
**[20:54] Shin**
You're her vanguard!
**[21:17] Akari**
Misaki!
**[21:21] Akari**
Do you work today, too?
**[21:22] Misaki**
Yeah.
**[21:24] Akari**
Did something happen?
**[21:26] Misaki**
Why do you ask?
**[21:27] Akari**
O-Oh, just a feeling...
**[21:35] Akari**
It's just, you seem really happy now.
**[23:10] Emi**
Aichi, don't you think Misaki is cool?
**[23:13] Aichi**
R-Really?
**[23:14] Emi**
I wanna be like her when I get older.
**[23:16] Emi**
I'll practice a bit!
**[23:18] Aichi**
Practice?
**[23:18] Emi**
Ahem...
**[23:19] Emi**
Sheesh! Don't go stealing
other people's cards! You scum!
**[23:23] Aichi**
Huh?
**[23:24] Emi**
Scum! Scum! Scum!
Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum!
**[23:27] Aichi**
H-Huh?!
**[23:28] Emi**
They're staring because they've never
seen scum like you before! You scumbag!
**[23:32] Aichi**
Huh?! Huh?! Huh?!
**[23:34] Emi**
And don't come back!

**[00:06] Morikawa**
Great, thanks for nothing...
**[00:12] Morikawa**
That's a Vanguard card!
**[00:15] Morikawa**
And it's Blaster Blade?!
**[00:18] Morikawa**
That's a totally rare card!
**[00:34] Morikawa**
Aichi Sendou...
**[00:36] Morikawa**
I didn't know you were a Cardfighter.
**[00:40] Aichi**
M-Me, a Cardfighter?
**[00:43] Morikawa**
Don't play dumb. You were holding
a Vanguard card, right?
**[00:48] Aichi**
Yes, b-but I've never
played against anyone.
**[00:53] Aichi**
I'm not a Cardfighter.
**[00:56] Morikawa**
Anyway, show me that card.
**[01:06] Morikawa**
It's true! It really is Blaster Blade!
**[01:09] Izaki**
Show me, too!
**[01:10] Inenaga**
Awesome! It's my first time seeing one!
**[01:13] Morikawa**
With this, I can beat him!
**[01:16] Aichi**
Wait a minute, Morikawa!
Don't take that away!
**[01:19] Aichi**
Someone gave me that card!
It's important to me!
**[01:22] Morikawa**
Shut up!
**[01:25] Morikawa**
You're not a Cardfighter, remember?
**[01:29] Morikawa**
It's a shame that this card's gone unused.
But now it's in good hands.
**[01:37] Aichi**
G-Give it back. That card... is mine.
**[01:46] Aichi**
Vanguard.
**[01:47] Aichi**
It's a card game in which you yourself
become the vanguard and fight!
**[01:52] Kai**
Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!
**[03:32] Mark**
And that's it for homeroom.
**[03:35] Mark**
Don't take side trips on your way home!
**[03:37] Mark**
But speaking of side trips, who took one at
the Battle of Sekigahara, which made them late?
***SIGN*** Battle of Sekigahara
**[03:42] Mark**
Satou!
**[03:44] Satou**
Hidetada Tokugawa!
**[03:45] Mark**
Yes!
**[03:46] Mark**
Name the location. Takahashi!
**[03:49] Takahashi**
Ueda Castle.
**[03:50] Mark**
Yes!
**[03:51] Mark**
And who caused Hidetada to be late
getting away from Ueda Castle?
***SIGN*** Ueda Castle Defensive Capability
**[03:55] Mark**
Tanaka!
**[03:57] Tanaka**
Masayuki Sanada and his son, Nobushige!
**[04:00] Mark**
Yes!
**[04:02] Mark**
Hidetada fell afoul of their scheme
and was thus late to the Battle of Sekigahara,
**[04:06] Mark**
which incurred his father Ieyasu's wrath,
**[04:09] Mark**
an anecdote from which we may learn the lesson
**[04:11] Morikawa**
Maybe I'll go with this card...
**[04:13] Mark**
that nothing good comes of taking detours.
**[04:14] Aichi**
Today. Today for sure...

**[04:43] Aichi**
This r-really good grade school player
named Kamui has been coming to Card Capital.
**[04:50] Aichi**
In addition, the clerk, Misaki,
has started fighting too.
**[04:53] Morikawa**
I said shut it!
**[04:55] Morikawa**
I've got club now!
**[04:57] Morikawa**
Don't follow me!
**[05:00] Morikawa**
You go to Card Capital alone!
All by yourself!
**[05:07] Aichi**
Morikawa...
**[05:11] Izaki**
Still, why was Sendou being so pushy
about inviting you to Card Capital?
**[05:19] Morikawa**
How would I know?!
***SIGN*** CF Research Club
**[05:31] Aichi**
CF Research Club?
**[05:33] Mark**
Hi, Sendou. What are you doing?
**[05:36] Aichi**
Mr. Mark!
**[05:38] Mark**
Do you need something from my club?
**[05:40] Aichi**
Your club?
***SIGN*** CF Research Club
**[05:43] Aichi**
Cardfight Research Club?!
**[05:45] Mark**
Yes!
**[05:46] Mark**
Are you interested in joining?
**[05:48] Aichi**
Y-Yes!
**[05:49] Mark**
But unfortunately, the club will...
**[05:53] Mark**
Well, let's go ask everyone.
**[05:57] Mark**
Hey, Cardfighters! I see you're all here.
**[06:01] Morikawa**
Sendou...
**[06:07] Morikawa**
What'd you come here for?!
**[06:10] Mark**
Today, I've got both good news
and bad news for you gentlemen.
**[06:14] Morikawa**
Good and bad?
**[06:17] Mark**
The good news is...
**[06:18] Mark**
Aichi Sendou is interested in joining
our Cardfight Research Club!
**[06:23] The Three**
Oooh!
**[06:25] Aichi**
H-Hi. Nice to meet you all.
**[06:27] Morikawa**
Sendou! You little...
**[06:29] Morikawa**
Stay outta my territory!
**[06:31] Mark**
Silence!
**[06:33] Mark**
Thanks to Morikawa driving out
any members he doesn't like,
**[06:37] Mark**
our Cardfight Research Club has grown
small and weak, so this is great news.
**[06:44] Mark**
And now for the bad news...
**[06:48] Mark**
The Cardfight Research Club
is disbanding as of today!
**[06:53] Morikawa**
What?!
**[06:55] Morikawa**
Why do we have to disband?!
**[06:57] Mark**
Why, you ask? The reason is that...
**[07:00] Mark**
...every one of you members failed my test!
**[07:07] Aichi**
Failed?
**[07:09] Mark**
I'll announce the results! Akahori, 35 points!
**[07:13] Mark**
Inenaga, 30 points!
**[07:15] Mark**
Izaki, 25 points!
**[07:17] Mark**
Morikawa, 20 points!
**[07:21] Mark**
Even though the failure line
was a generous 40 points or less,
**[07:24] Mark**
our club members' average score
is a measly 27.5 points!
**[07:29] Mark**
As your advisor, I can't let this club remain
with your average score below the failure line.
**[07:37] Morikawa**
I'm gonna lose yet another
place to have Cardfights...
**[07:43] Izaki**
Then, Mr. Mark...
**[07:46] Izaki**
We wouldn't have to disband if our
average score's above the failure line?
**[07:50] Mark**
Well, yes...
**[07:52] Izaki**
What was Sendou's score?!
**[07:54] Morikawa**
Hang on, Izaki!
**[07:56] Izaki**
Hey, it's cool!
**[07:57] Mark**
Hmm...
**[07:59] Mark**
Sendou got...
**[08:00] Mark**
95 points!
**[08:01] The Three**
Oooh!
**[08:03] Aichi**
Thanks.
**[08:05] Izaki**
We did it, Morikawa!
**[08:06] Morikawa**
Huh?
**[08:07] Izaki**
If we add Sendou's score to ours,
**[08:10] Izaki**
then our average score is 41 points!
That's over the failing line!
**[08:14] Inenaga**
We don't have to disband
the Cardfight Research Club!
**[08:17] The Three**
Hooray!
**[08:18] Mark**
Hold your horses, gentlemen!
**[08:21] Mark**
I said Sendou wants to be a member.
I never said that he is already!
**[08:26] Inenaga**
Huh?
**[08:27] Akahori**
Aw, come on!
**[08:28] Morikawa**
That's right.
**[08:29] Morikawa**
He doesn't have my approval to become a member!
**[08:32] Morikawa**
First off, this guy hadn't even been
in a Cardfight until just recently!
**[08:37] Morikawa**
Anybody who ain't a Cardfighter
ain't qualified to join this club!
**[08:41] Izaki**
What's with you, Morikawa?
**[08:43] Izaki**
If you keep quiet and let him join,
we won't have to disband!
**[08:46] Morikawa**
Shut up!
**[08:52] Aichi**
Let's have a Cardfight, Morikawa.
**[08:56] Aichi**
Wouldn't that let you tell
if I'm a Cardfighter or not?
**[09:01] Morikawa**
You pretend that you're a Cardfighter
just because you've got Blaster Blade!
**[09:05] Morikawa**
Fine. If you somehow happen to beat me,
you'll get my approval to join.
**[09:09] Izaki**
Then we're doomed to disband!
**[09:12] Mark**
Sheesh, you just rush into things
without bothering to consult me...
**[09:16] Mark**
But fine.
**[09:18] Aichi**
Morikawa...
**[09:19] Morikawa**
Hm?
**[09:21] Aichi**
If I win, I want you to do me one favor.
**[09:25] Morikawa**
A favor?
**[09:27] Morikawa**
There's not even a slim chance you could
beat me, the best player in the Cardfight Club.
**[09:33] Morikawa**
So sure, I'll do whatever you ask if you win.
**[09:36] Aichi**
Thank you.
**[09:41] Mark**
Then let's begin Sendou's club membership test!
**[09:55] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[10:03] Aichi**
Morikawa uses Royal Paladin, too...?
**[10:09] Inenaga**
Morikawa's using the deck from that day.
**[10:12] Izaki**
Yeah.
**[10:14] Izaki**
After he stole Blaster Blade from Sendou,
he made it to challenge that high schooler.
**[10:20] Inenaga**
Is Morikawa gonna be okay?
**[10:22] Inenaga**
Didn't Sendou beat that high school student?
**[10:25] Izaki**
I'm sure it was just dumb luck.
**[10:27] Izaki**
I mean, if Morikawa wins,
the Cardfight Club will disband.
**[10:31] Izaki**
You don't want that, do you?
**[10:33] Inenaga**
Well, no, but...
**[10:36] Inenaga**
Do you wanna see Morikawa lose to a beginner?
**[10:42] Morikawa**
I ride Lion Mane Stallion!
**[10:51] Morikawa**
My turn is over.
**[10:55] Aichi**
I ride Knight Squire, Allen!
**[11:06] Morikawa**
Flogal!
**[11:09] Izaki**
He blocked that one.
**[11:11] Morikawa**
Stand and draw!
**[11:15] Morikawa**
I ride!
**[11:17] Morikawa**
Knight of Silence, Gallatin!
**[11:21] Morikawa**
Margal! Lion Mane Stallion!
**[11:26] Morikawa**
Go!
**[11:29] Aichi**
Margal!
**[11:32] Inenaga**
Now Sendou's the one blocking!
**[11:34] Morikawa**
It's my turn next!
**[11:40] Akahori**
Sendou has 1 damage!
**[11:42] Aichi**
Stand and draw!
**[11:46] Aichi**
Stand up, my avatar!
**[11:58] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[12:02] Aichi**
Ability Blast!
**[12:04] Aichi**
Burst Buster!
**[12:10] Aichi**
Knight Squire, Allen!
**[12:13] Aichi**
Let's go!
**[12:15] Margal**
Yeah!
**[12:16] Aichi**
Drive check!
**[12:19] Izaki**
Critical trigger!
**[12:26] Inenaga**
Morikawa has 2 damage!
**[12:28] Allen**
Knight Squire, Allen enters the fray!
**[12:34] Akahori**
Now he's got 3 damage!
**[12:36] Morikawa**
This twerp...
**[12:38] Morikawa**
Was he always this good?
**[12:55] Morikawa**
I'm not gonna lose to the likes of you!
**[12:59] Morikawa**
I ride!
**[13:01] Morikawa**
Gigantech Charger!
**[13:04] Morikawa**
Come, Stardrive Dragons!
**[13:09] Morikawa**
You too, Lion Mane Stallion!
**[13:16] Morikawa**
Prepare to lose, Sendou!
**[13:22] Aichi**
Epona! Margal!
**[13:28] Aichi**
Thank you. Go get some rest.
**[13:30] Units**
Yes, sir!
**[13:32] Morikawa**
What're you watching?!
**[13:38] Morikawa**
Twin drive! First check!
**[13:41] Izaki**
There it is! Critical trigger!
**[13:43] Morikawa**
Second check!
**[13:47] Inenaga**
A double critical!
**[13:48] Morikawa**
Lightning attack, Gigant Charge!
**[13:57] Akahori**
Sendou has 4 damage!
**[13:59] Izaki**
And Morikawa's not done attacking!
**[14:02] Morikawa**
Go!
**[14:07] Mark**
That makes 5 damage?
**[14:10] Morikawa**
I didn't finish you off this turn,
**[14:13] Morikawa**
but next turn! I'm gonna end you for sure!
**[14:18] Morikawa**
Sendou, are you... smiling?!
**[14:26] Morikawa**
How? How can you smile
under these circumstances?
**[14:34] Aichi**
I'm happy.
**[14:37] Aichi**
I'm happy that you're
fighting me seriously, Morikawa.
**[14:42] Morikawa**
Wha...?!
**[14:44] Morikawa**
You've changed.
**[14:47] Aichi**
Huh?
**[14:50] Aichi**
It's true...
**[14:52] Aichi**
I'm not the person you knew before,
who only had Blaster Blade.
**[14:58] Morikawa**
What?
**[15:00] Aichi**
I'll show you!
**[15:08] Aichi**
Prince of Royal Paladin, Alfred Early!
**[15:13] Morikawa**
Alfred Early?!
**[15:15] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift!
**[15:18] Aichi**
Force!
**[15:22] Aichi**
Alfred Early gets +10,000 power!
**[15:26] Aichi**
Furthermore, I use Alfred Early's skill
to call Blaster Blade from the Soul!
**[15:36] Aichi**
Burst Buster!
**[15:41] Inenaga**
Morikawa lost a rear-guard!
**[15:46] Akahori**
And Sendou called two more rear-guard units!
**[15:51] Aichi**
Here I come, Morikawa!
**[15:54] Gallatin**
Allen, follow me!
**[15:56] Allen**
Yes, sir!
**[15:57] Morikawa**
Flogal!
**[16:02] Aichi**
Wingal, us too!
**[16:03] Wingal**
Arf!
**[16:05] Izaki**
Guard, Morikawa!
**[16:08] Morikawa**
No guard.
**[16:12] Mark**
It seems his hand lacks cards.
**[16:15] Aichi**
Twin drive! First check!
**[16:20] Aichi**
Second check!
**[16:24] Morikawa**
Critical trigger!
**[16:26] Aichi**
I give the power to Blaster Blade
**[16:29] Aichi**
and the extra critical to my Vanguard!
**[16:33] Aichi**
Brush Blade!
**[16:43] Morikawa**
Damage check!
**[16:44] Morikawa**
No trigger...
**[16:46] Morikawa**
Second time!
**[16:52] Izaki**
He didn't get a trigger...
**[16:56] Mark**
That's 5 damage.
**[16:59] Blaster Blade**
Wingal!
**[17:05] Morikawa**
Damage check!
**[17:07] Izaki**
If he gets a heal trigger now...
**[17:23] Morikawa**
I lost.
**[17:25] Aichi**
Thank you for the game.
**[17:28] Morikawa**
Darn it.
**[17:30] Akahori**
Wh-Whoa, Sendou actually...
**[17:34] Inenaga**
...won.
**[17:36] Izaki**
Seriously?!
**[17:39] Mark**
Is this the Sendou I know?
**[17:43] Mark**
That was wonderful!
**[17:45] Mark**
A Cardfighter like you
**[17:47] Mark**
is most welcome to join
our Cardfight Research Club.
**[17:52] Aichi**
Thank you, Mr. Mark!
**[17:55] Izaki**
Which means...
**[17:57] Izaki**
We don't have to disband!
**[17:59] The Three**
Yeah!
**[18:04] Mark**
It seems getting involved with Vanguard
has been a very good thing for Sendou.
**[18:10] Aichi**
Morikawa...
**[18:12] Aichi**
Now the Cardfight Research Club
can keep meeting, right?
**[18:15] Morikawa**
Hmph.
**[18:17] Mark**
They have a tendency to wander off course,
but I'll count on him to become their leader.
**[18:23] Mark**
Morikawa, didn't you promise
to do him a favor if you lost?
**[18:30] Aichi**
Let's go to Card Capital!
**[18:33] Morikawa**
Huh?!
**[18:36] Aichi**
Hurry up, Morikawa!
**[18:45] Morikawa**
Sendou, why are you doing all this?
**[18:49] Morikawa**
I mean...
**[18:51] Morikawa**
I beat you up,
**[18:54] Morikawa**
and took your card.
**[18:56] Morikawa**
So then, why?!
**[18:59] Aichi**
Because that happened,
I ended up going to Card Capital.
**[19:04] Aichi**
And I was able to see Kai again.
**[19:09] Aichi**
So I owe it all to you, Morikawa.
**[19:13] Morikawa**
To me...?
**[19:15] Aichi**
Besides, now I understand how you feel.
**[19:20] Morikawa**
How do you mean?
**[19:22] Aichi**
At that time, you were wanting
to become a better player.
**[19:27] Aichi**
And now, that's what I want too.
**[19:30] Aichi**
I want to learn even more about Vanguard
and get even better at Cardfighting.
**[19:35] Aichi**
So I want to make use of
your strength too, Morikawa.
**[19:42] Aichi**
From now on, let's work to get better together!
**[19:52] Emi**
Aichi!
**[19:54] Kamui**
Miss Emi! Please, wait up!
**[19:58] Aichi**
What's up?
**[19:59] Emi**
"What's up," nothing!
**[20:00] Emi**
You never showed up at Card Capital,
**[20:03] Emi**
so I was about to go by
your school to look for you!
**[20:06] Aichi**
Oh! Sorry about that. I was at club...
**[20:10] Emi**
You're in a club?
**[20:12] Emi**
Wh-Who's that, Aichi?
**[20:15] Aichi**
I'll introduce you.
**[20:17] Aichi**
This is Morikawa. He's in the club, too.
**[20:19] Emi**
What club is this?!
**[20:22] Emi**
But thank you for letting my brother,
Aichi, join your club.
**[20:25] Emi**
I'm his little sister, Emi.
**[20:27] Morikawa**
"Aichi"...
**[20:28] Aichi**
Huh?
**[20:29] Morikawa**
Your little sister calls you "Aichi"?
**[20:31] Emi**
Aichi is Aichi, after all!
**[20:34] Emi**
So why don't you call him that?
**[20:36] Emi**
Well, Aichi?
**[20:38] Aichi**
Sure.
**[20:42] Morikawa**
A-Aichi, sorry.
**[20:44] Morikawa**
I'd like to apologize for what I--
**[20:46] Aichi**
What brings you here, Kamui?
**[20:48] Kamui**
I-I'm acting as Miss Emi's bodyguard!
**[20:54] Aichi**
Were you saying something, Morikawa?
**[20:56] Morikawa**
I didn't say nothing!
**[20:58] Morikawa**
Let's go to Card Capital, Aichi!
**[21:01] Aichi**
Right!
**[21:02] Emi**
Hey, tell me what club you're in!
**[21:04] Kamui**
Miss Emi!
**[21:06] Kamui**
Please, wait up!
**[21:08] Suiko**
Deciding the number-one fighter in Asia...
**[21:11] Suiko**
The long-awaited Vanguard Asia Circuit
begins one week from now!
**[21:15] Kourin**
This year, the venue will be Japan!
**[21:17] Rekka**
Now we'll introduce the fighters to watch for!
**[21:26] Shin**
Oh, long time no see.
**[21:32] Morikawa**
Hello.
**[23:11] Izaki**
Great job losing, Morikawa!
**[23:13] Izaki**
Thanks to you, we don't
have to disband the club!
**[23:16] Morikawa**
Hey, what can I say?
**[23:17] Morikawa**
Wait, Izaki, was that a compliment?
**[23:20] Izaki**
Of course! Now, let's have a Cardfight!
**[23:23] Mark**
Wait! Not so fast!
**[23:25] The Two**
Mr. Mark?!
**[23:27] Mark**
The club may be saved,
**[23:29] Mark**
but that doesn't mean you
get a pass on failing my test!
**[23:32] Mark**
From now on, we'll be using
club time for tutoring sessions!

**[00:08] Gouki**
We pirates of the undead never lose!
**[00:12] Gouki**
Bring it on!
**[00:19] Leon**
How foolish of you
to challenge an invincible navy.
**[00:23] Leon**
Blow, O Wind of victory!
**[00:32] Gouki**
Even if we suffer defeat now,
**[00:35] Gouki**
we always rise from the dead!
**[00:50] MC**
Game over! And the winner is...
**[00:53] MC**
...Leon Soryu, representing Hong Kong!
**[00:59] MC**
He beat the local Japanese representative,
Kenji Mitsusada, in the semifinal.
**[01:03] MC**
And now, in the final, he has defeated
Gouki Daimonji, also from Japan.
**[01:07] MC**
What a brilliant triumph in the
Vanguard Fight Asia Circuit!
**[01:18] Aichi**
Vanguard.
**[01:19] Aichi**
It's a card game in which you yourself
become the vanguard and fight!
**[01:24] Kai**
Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!

Declaration of War!! Battle of the Shops
**[03:12] Aichi**
Then the Asia Circuit is a major event?
**[03:16] Shin**
By the time you guys started coming here
regularly, it was past the entry deadline.
**[03:21] Shin**
It's too bad. I wish you could've been in it.
**[03:25] Shin**
It would've been good
publicity for the shop, too.
**[03:27] MC**
The awards ceremony presenters have really
hyped this event as the official supporters.
**[03:33] MC**
The Ultra-rare trio!
**[03:40] The Two**
Rekka!
**[03:43] Miwa**
You guys are clueless.
**[03:46] Miwa**
The heart and soul of Ultra-rare is Suiko!
**[03:49] Morikawa**
What're you talking about?
**[03:51] Morikawa**
Kourin's obviously the best!
**[03:58] Morikawa**
Kourin! Kourin! Kourin!
**[03:58] Miwa**
Suiko! Suiko! Suiko!
**[03:58] The Two**
Rekka! Rekka! Rekka!
**[04:02] Misaki**
We don't deal in idol goods...
**[04:05] Misaki**
Do you want to be banned from here?
**[04:10] MC**
Leon Soryu is 12 years old.
**[04:12] MC**
This makes him the youngest player
to ever win the Asia Circuit!
**[04:18] Kamui**
I can't believe Gouki lost to
a grade school kid like that.
**[04:22] Aichi**
Do you know him?
**[04:23] Kamui**
Yeah.
**[04:24] Kamui**
From Voyage, the shop I used to go to.
**[04:28] Aichi**
"Pottage"?
**[04:29] Kamui**
It's "Voyage"! Cardshop Voyage!
**[04:33] Kamui**
Voyage is the biggest card shop around here.
**[04:36] Kamui**
I thought it'd be a shortcut on my way
to becoming the strongest fighter of all!
**[04:42] Kamui**
Who's this shop's strongest fighter?!
**[04:47] Gouki**
That'd be me!
**[04:49] Kamui**
But Gouki was seriously tough.
**[04:52] Kamui**
I was no match for him.
**[04:56] Kamui**
So then...
**[05:00] Kamui**
Gouki! Fight me!
**[05:02] Gouki**
I was hopin' you'd say that.
**[05:05] Kamui**
I became a regular at Voyage
so that I could beat Gouki...
**[05:13] Kamui**
...but I just couldn't win!
**[05:15] Kamui**
I figured I was going nowhere, so...
**[05:18] Kamui**
I'm not coming back to Voyage
till I've gotten good enough to beat Gouki!
**[05:29] Aichi**
Cardshop Voyage...
**[05:31] Aichi**
I'd like to see it.
**[05:32] Kamui**
Hey! Brother Aichi!
**[05:34] Kamui**
What do you think Misaki would do if she
heard us talking about going to another shop?!
**[05:46] Kamui**
Besides, I gave my word...
**[05:48] Kamui**
...that I wouldn't go back
until I could beat Gouki.
**[05:53] Kamui**
But he's the second strongest fighter in Asia.
**[05:57] Aichi**
Why not imagine it?
**[05:59] Aichi**
Imagine yourself beating him.
**[06:01] Kamui**
Imagine myself beating Gouki...
**[06:04] Gouki**
Here I come, Kamui!
**[06:11] Kamui**
It's no good!
**[06:13] Kamui**
All I can picture is him whipping my butt!
**[06:17] Emi**
Hello.
**[06:18] Emi**
What are you doing?
**[06:20] Aichi**
I was hoping Kamui could take me
to the shop he used to go to...
**[06:25] Emi**
I wanna go, too!
**[06:27] Aichi**
But Kamui's...
**[06:28] Kamui**
I'd be happy to take you there, Miss Emi!
**[06:39] Emi**
This is where we're supposed to meet?
**[06:42] Aichi**
That's what he told me...
**[06:44] Kamui**
Miss Emi!
**[06:47] Kamui**
It's me, Miss Emi!
**[06:49] Aichi**
Kamui?
**[06:50] Emi**
Why did you change your look?
**[06:53] Kamui**
I, uh, have my reasons...
**[06:57] Kamui**
Well, shall we go?
**[07:01] Aichi**
I wonder if I'll get to meet Gouki Daimonji.
**[07:03] Kamui**
The final was just yesterday,
**[07:05] Kamui**
so I doubt he'd come in today.
**[07:15] Boy**
Gouki. Are you ready?
**[07:18] Gouki**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** Gouki Daimonji Congratulations on placing 2nd in the Asia Circuit!
**[07:21] Aichi**
So this is Voyage.
**[07:24] Kamui**
I'll wait out here.
**[07:26] Kamui**
You two go on in.
**[07:29] Emi**
Why not go in together?
**[07:31] Kamui**
H-Hey, wait, Miss Emi!
**[07:36] Gouki**
I've been waitin' for you!
**[07:38] Kamui**
Waiting?!
**[07:40] Kamui**
Then Gouki knew we were coming?
**[07:43] Kamui**
But how? Did someone tip him off?
**[07:46] Kamui**
I mean, it's not like we
came here to do anything bad.
**[07:54] Gouki**
Sorry, mistook you for someone else.
**[07:56] Aichi**
O-Oh, okay.
**[07:58] Kamui**
Well, I'd better go...
**[08:00] Nagisa**
Hold it right there!
**[08:02] Nagisa**
You traitor!
**[08:06] Gouki**
You're... Kamui?!
**[08:09] Nagisa**
How dare you show your face
around here after what you did!
**[08:12] Nagisa**
Ditching our shop like that!
**[08:14] Kamui**
Wh-What're ya talking about?!
**[08:16] Kamui**
You're the one who told me to leave, Nagisa!
**[08:19] Nagisa**
Did I?
**[08:20] Emi**
Who is she?
**[08:22] Kamui**
Gouki's little sister, Nagisa.
**[08:24] Kamui**
She's totally stubborn.
**[08:26] Nagisa**
Grrr!
**[08:27] Kamui**
It's her fault that I...
**[08:32] Kamui**
No trigger. I lose.
**[08:35] Nagisa**
Don't let it get to you.
**[08:37] Nagisa**
I mean, my big brother is like a monster.
**[08:41] Nagisa**
So if you're intent on beating him,
you'd better go on a training journey!
**[08:45] Nagisa**
Just kidding!
**[08:47] Kamui**
Yeah. You're right.
**[08:50] Kamui**
I'll go on a training journey!
**[08:59] Kamui**
Don't you remember?!
**[09:01] Nagisa**
It's not like you had to
actually follow through on it!
**[09:04] Gouki**
I get it.
**[09:05] Gouki**
So that's why we stopped
seein' you around here.
**[09:09] Gouki**
But if you're back...
**[09:11] Gouki**
...that means you've gotten
strong enough to beat me, huh?!
**[09:18] Kamui**
To be honest, I only came to show
Aichi and Miss Emi the way here.
**[09:22] Kamui**
I wasn't thinking of fighting Gouki.
**[09:25] Kamui**
Still...
**[09:27] Kamui**
...it'd be unmanly to chicken out.
**[09:29] Kamui**
Yeah! I came here to beat ya, Gouki!
**[09:32] Kamui**
These two are my friends
from the shop I go to now.
**[09:35] Kamui**
They're here to watch our fight!
**[09:37] Gouki**
Oh?
**[09:39] Aichi**
Kamui...
**[09:42] Aichi**
A breeze?
**[09:47] Leon**
It seems a peculiar wind is blowing.
**[09:50] Aichi**
H-He's...
**[09:52] Kamui**
Leon Soryu!
**[09:54] Kamui**
What's the champion of the
Asia Circuit doing here?
**[09:57] Gouki**
I asked him here.
**[09:59] Gouki**
I wanted one more crack at fightin' him.
**[10:02] Aichi**
So that's it...
**[10:04] Aichi**
They were all waiting for Leon.
**[10:07] Leon**
I heard in the whispering of the wind...
**[10:10] Leon**
...the arrival of a fighter
capable of beating Gouki.
**[10:14] Leon**
Have you ever felt the wind?
**[10:16] Aichi**
U-Um, uh...
**[10:18] The Two**
Not him!
**[10:20] Kamui**
The one who came to beat Gouki
is me, the Great Kamui Katsuragi!
**[10:25] Leon**
You?
**[10:26] Kamui**
Actually, while I meant to show off
how good I've gotten by defeating Gouki,
**[10:31] Kamui**
it ain't every day that
the Asia champion comes by!
**[10:34] Kamui**
You beat Gouki, so I'll beat you!
**[10:36] Kamui**
That'll prove I've gotten stronger than him!
**[10:40] Kamui**
Fine with you, Gouki?
**[10:42] Gouki**
Sure. Fight your heart out.
**[10:45] Aichi**
I never imagined it would turn out like this.
**[10:50] Misaki**
It's so quiet.
**[10:54] Misaki**
And Aichi hasn't come by, strangely.
**[10:57] Miwa**
I don't dare tell her he's at another shop...
**[11:02] Miwa**
I wish I'd gone, too.
**[11:06] Kai**
The wind's picked up.
**[11:13] Leon**
Have you ever felt the wind?
**[11:15] Kamui**
What're ya babbling about?
**[11:19] Leon**
Shall we begin?
**[11:22] Leon**
Stand up, my Vanguard!
**[11:22] Kamui**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[11:39] Leon**
Stand up, my Vanguard!
**[11:39] Kamui**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[11:46] Aichi**
Another breeze?
**[11:51] Leon**
I ride!
**[11:55] Leon**
Officer Cadet, Erikk!
**[11:57] Kamui**
The Great Kamui rides Battleraizer!
**[12:02] Gouki**
Kamui's deck is Nova Grappler, huh?
**[12:05] Nagisa**
That's different.
**[12:07] Gouki**
I guess he started usin' it
on his trainin' journey.
**[12:10] Gouki**
If Kamui's managed to master
a Nova Grappler deck,
**[12:15] Gouki**
then this is gonna be an interestin' fight.
**[12:19] Kamui**
The Great Kamui rides!
**[12:22] Kamui**
Raizer Custom!
**[12:27] Kamui**
Here I come!
**[12:28] Nagisa**
Hey, Kamui!
**[12:29] Nagisa**
You can't attack on the very first turn!
**[12:32] Gouki**
That's Raizer Custom's skill.
**[12:35] Gouki**
By putting one card from
his hand into the Soul,
**[12:37] Gouki**
he can attack even on the first turn.
**[12:40] Leon**
No guard.
**[12:42] Leon**
Damage check.
**[12:47] Leon**
I ride!
**[12:50] Leon**
Tear Knight, Theo!
**[12:53] Leon**
Sing, O Wind!
Battle Siren, Dorothea!
**[12:57] Leon**
Let's go!
**[13:02] Leon**
Drive check.
**[13:04] Leon**
Front trigger.
**[13:06] Leon**
Get him, Dorothea!
**[13:11] Gouki**
Normally, Dorothea wouldn't have
enough power to do damage here.
**[13:16] Gouki**
But since he drew a front trigger...
**[13:22] Kamui**
The Great Kamui rides!
**[13:26] Kamui**
Hi-powered Raizer Custom!
**[13:30] Kamui**
Come out, Battleraizer!
**[13:31] Kamui**
Get here, Burstraizer! Raizer Custom!
**[13:37] Kamui**
Go! Boost attack!
**[13:41] Kamui**
The Great Kamui attacks!
**[13:45] Leon**
Medical Officer of the Rainbow Elixir!
**[13:52] Kamui**
Drive check!
**[13:53] Kamui**
Heal trigger!
**[13:55] Kamui**
I heal 1 damage point!
**[13:56] Aichi**
And since his Vanguard attacked,
**[13:59] Aichi**
Burstraizer's skill activates.
**[14:02] Kamui**
And I can attack once more!
**[14:10] Kamui**
I'm neck and neck with the Asia champion!
**[14:14] Kamui**
I can do this! I can win!
**[14:16] Leon**
I ride Marine General of
the Restless Tides, Algos!
**[14:20] Leon**
O Wind, bring me Tear Knight, Lazarus!
**[14:24] Leon**
On your knees!
**[14:29] Leon**
Now take this!
**[14:40] Leon**
The wind is going to blow twice.
**[14:43] Kamui**
Like I'll take that!
**[14:44] Kamui**
I'm counting on ya, Wall Boy!
**[14:48] Nagisa**
Kamui, you egotistical brat!
**[14:50] Nagisa**
You only increased your damage by 1!
**[14:53] Kamui**
The Great Kamui rides!
**[14:57] Kamui**
Perfect Raizer!
**[15:01] Kamui**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[15:04] Kamui**
No matter who my opponent is,
I can't afford to lose to 'em!
**[15:15] Kamui**
I went on a training journey
so I could get stronger and stronger!
**[15:21] Leon**
Guard!
**[15:24] Leon**
So you're a nomadic tribe, eh?
**[15:29] Kamui**
Counterblast! Skill activates!
**[15:36] Leon**
Guard!
**[15:37] Leon**
Dolphin Soldier of High Speed Raids!
**[15:40] Kamui**
Drive check!
**[15:42] Kamui**
Front trigger!
**[15:44] Kamui**
I give the effect to my front row!
**[15:48] Kamui**
I'm not done yet!
**[15:56] Aichi**
This brings Leon to 5 damage.
**[15:58] Emi**
Go, Kamui! Take down the Asia champion!
**[16:04] Kamui**
Asura Kaiser attacks!
**[16:08] Leon**
Not on my watch!
**[16:09] Leon**
Battleship Intelligence!
**[16:16] Kamui**
But that makes it 5 damage to 2.
**[16:20] Kamui**
I'm gonna win this on the next turn!
**[16:25] Leon**
It seems a fine wind is blowing.
**[16:31] Leon**
I ride!
**[16:34] Leon**
Navalgazer Dragon!
**[16:37] Leon**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[16:40] Leon**
I call Algos!
**[16:42] Leon**
Navalgazer Dragon! Theo! Lazarus!
**[16:47] Leon**
Assemble, my citizenry!
**[16:50] Kamui**
What?!
**[16:51] Leon**
Dorothea's skill. I give the power to Algos!
**[16:55] Leon**
Run amok! Storm!
**[16:58] Leon**
Algos's skill!
**[17:02] Kamui**
Intercept!
**[17:04] Leon**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[17:17] Leon**
Farewell, nomadic robot army.
**[17:33] Kamui**
I've lost.
**[17:35] Boy 1**
What a comeback...
**[17:37] Boy 2**
Now that's the Asia champion!
**[17:39] Boy 3**
That was awesome.
**[17:43] Nagisa**
Kamui...
**[17:46] Emi**
That was a great fight, Kamui.
**[17:49] Kamui**
Th-Thank you, Miss Emi.
**[17:54] Nagisa**
Hmph!
**[17:55] Nagisa**
Silly! You ended up losing!
**[17:58] Nagisa**
Looks like that shop
you go to now is no big deal!
**[18:02] Kamui**
Card Capital...
**[18:03] Emi**
...is no big deal?!
**[18:05] Nagisa**
Never heard of it.
**[18:07] Nagisa**
I bet only weak fighters go there.
**[18:11] Gouki**
Hey, now, Nagisa.
There's no call for that kinda talk.
**[18:15] Gouki**
Even if the place isn't well known...
**[18:18] Kamui**
You can insult me all you want!
**[18:20] Kamui**
But don't you dare trash-talk Capital!
**[18:24] Kamui**
It's an awesome shop,
every bit as good as this one!
**[18:30] Nagisa**
Then let's fight!
**[18:32] Nagisa**
With the pride of both shops on the line!
**[18:36] Gouki**
Now you're talkin'!
**[18:37] Gouki**
Let's make it a team competition!
**[18:41] Gouki**
It'll be a battle between the shops!
**[18:45] Aichi**
Kamui, you really should talk to
everybody there first...
**[18:49] Kamui**
I accept!
**[18:51] Kamui**
It'll be all-out war between
Card Capital and Voyage!
**[18:55] Gouki**
What'll we do for team members?
**[18:59] Gouki**
Oh hey, Koutei. What's up?
**[19:01] Emi**
"Koutei"?
**[19:03] Nagisa**
You didn't know?
**[19:04] Nagisa**
"Koutei" is Kenji Mitsusada,
the third-place winner of the Asia Circuit.
**[19:08] Gouki**
I thought you were comin' by today
to watch my rematch with Leon.
**[19:12] Kenji**
That was the idea, so I hopped on a train...
**[19:17] Kenji**
...but the next thing I knew,
I found myself someplace abundant with nature.
**[19:21] Kenji**
Am I ever absent-minded!
**[19:24] Gouki**
Hey, Koutei, how about participatin'
in a battle between card shops?
**[19:27] Kenji**
A battle between shops?!
**[19:30] Kenji**
That sounds like fun. Count me in!
**[19:34] Gouki**
There you have it.
**[19:36] Gouki**
Koutei comes here once in a while.
**[19:38] Gouki**
You don't mind if he's a member, do ya?
**[19:40] Kamui**
N-No...
**[19:42] Nagisa**
Koutei, my big brother, and me.
**[19:45] Nagisa**
Those are the members of our team.
**[19:48] Kamui**
Huh?
**[19:49] Kamui**
But you're weak!
**[19:50] Nagisa**
What are you talking about?!
**[19:52] Nagisa**
I've gotten stronger since
the last time you were here!
**[19:55] Nagisa**
You people are the pushovers!
**[19:57] Leon**
Are you going to be in it?
**[20:01] Aichi**
No, I'm not quite ready...
**[20:04] Emi**
Of course he's gonna be in it!
**[20:06] Emi**
Aichi is strong!
**[20:08] Leon**
So your name is Aichi...
**[20:11] Aichi**
U-Um, I'm Aichi Sendou.
**[20:14] Leon**
Gouki, let me participate
in this battle between the shops, too.
**[20:18] Leon**
As a member of Voyage.
**[20:21] Gouki**
Really? You're more than welcome.
**[20:24] Kamui**
Seriously?
**[20:27] Leon**
Then I'll be on my way now.
**[20:39] Nagisa**
So it'll be four against four.
**[20:42] The Three**
Huh?!
**[20:43] Nagisa**
Cardshop Voyage's dream team
**[20:46] Nagisa**
is going to blow your obscure shop,
Cappy-thingy, to smithereens!
**[20:50] Nagisa**
The Asia Circuit's runner-up!
**[20:53] Nagisa**
Right now, the strongest fighter in Japan
is my mighty big brother!
**[20:57] Nagisa**
Gouki Daimonji!
**[21:00] Nagisa**
The third-place winner of the Asia Circuit,
known to friends as Koutei,
**[21:05] Nagisa**
Kenji Mitsusada!
**[21:07] Nagisa**
The Asia champion, who was borne

**[21:12] Nagisa**

**[21:36] Aichi**
What's going to happen now...
**[23:10] Kamui**
How did this happen?!
**[23:12] Kamui**
It's a spur of the moment
battle between the shops,
**[23:14] Kamui**
yet Brother Aichi can't make it!
**[23:17] Morikawa**
Capital's still got me!
**[23:19] Izaki**
Me too!
**[23:20] Inenaga**
Me three!
**[23:21] Kamui**
Morikawa! Izaki! Inenaga!
**[23:23] Kamui**
Okay! The four of us will send 'em packing!
**[23:26] Morikawa**
All right! What'll our team name be?
**[23:28] Kamui**
Let's use our names to form it!
**[23:29] Izaki**

What's going to happen now...?
**[00:32] Aichi**
Vanguard.
**[00:33] Aichi**
It's a card game in which you yourself
become the vanguard and fight!
**[00:38] Kai**
Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!
**[02:16] The Three**
Wh-What?!
**[02:18] The Two**
Fight Voyage?!
**[02:20] Morikawa**
In a battle between shops?!
**[02:22] Misaki**
Quiet over there!
**[02:23] Aichi**
S-Sorry!
**[02:26] Morikawa**
So what's the deal?
**[02:27] Kamui**
Well...
**[02:30] Nagisa**
Silly! You ended up losing!
**[02:33] Nagisa**
Looks like that shop
you go to now is no big deal!
**[02:36] Kamui**

**[02:39] Nagisa**
Never heard of it.
**[02:41] Nagisa**
I bet only weak fighters go there.
**[02:44] Kamui**
You can insult me all you want!
**[02:47] Kamui**
But don't you dare trash-talk Capital!
**[02:51] Kamui**
It's an awesome shop,
every bit as good as this one!
**[02:57] Nagisa**
Then let's fight!
**[02:59] Nagisa**
With the pride of both shops on the line!
**[03:02] Izaki**
Voyage is famous for being
Gouki Daimonji's hangout.
**[03:07] Inenaga**
There's no way we could win.
**[03:08] Morikawa**
Why so scared?
**[03:10] Morikawa**
It's a team competition, right?
**[03:12] Izaki**
I get it! So even if Gouki wins,
we could still beat his team!
**[03:17] Aichi**
Um...
**[03:18] Emi**
Actually...
**[03:23] The Three**
Wh-What?!
**[03:26] Misaki**
Quiet!
**[03:28] Morikawa**
Leon Soryu and Kenji Mitsusada
are participating, too?!
**[03:32] Izaki**
That's Asia's top three players!
**[03:35] Inenaga**
We won't stand a chance!
**[03:37] The Three**
Sorry about all the commotion!
**[03:40] Miwa**
Sounds like you guys have
gotten us into a real mess.
**[03:44] Aichi**
Miwa?
**[03:45] Kamui**
What?! This's got nothing to do with you!
**[03:49] Miwa**
Oh it does!
**[03:50] Miwa**
You put the pride of this shop on the line,
which is a hassle for all of us regulars!
**[03:56] Miwa**
Why don't you go tell her what you did?!
**[03:59] Misaki**
You're all banned from here!
**[04:02] Miwa**
You know she would!
**[04:05] Emi**
Maybe you should apologize
while you have the chance, Aichi.
**[04:09] Aichi**
Yeah, you're right.
**[04:11] Shin**
Welcome...
**[04:12] Shin**
Huh?!
**[04:14] Morikawa**
Ack!
**[04:18] Aichi**
I-Isn't he...
**[04:20] Miwa**
It's "Koutei"! Kenji Mitsusada!
***SIGN*** Image 7 Unite!! Q4 (Quadrifoglio)
**[04:30] Narrator**
Kenji Mitsusada.
**[04:32] Narrator**
Those who are familiar with him
respectfully call him by this title:
**[04:37] Narrator**
"The Emperor of the Card World."
**[04:41] Narrator**
Despite his disappointment at
having placed third in the Asia Circuit,
**[04:45] Narrator**
he has already set his sights beyond that.
**[04:49] Kenji**
It's true that Leon is strong.
**[04:51] Kenji**
None of my special moves worked on him.
**[05:01] Kenji**
But I still have courage.
**[05:05] Kenji**
As long as the flames of courage
burn within my heart,
**[05:08] Kenji**
I will fight on!
**[05:11] Narrator**
The Emperor of the Card World,
Kenji Mitsusada, arises once more!
***SIGN*** Emperor of the Card World
***SIGN*** Kenji Mitsusada
**[05:18] Misaki**
I get it. His family name is Mitsusada,
but it can be read as "Koutei," or "Emperor."
**[05:22] Miwa**
He seems more like your typical
big brother than an emperor.
**[05:26] Shin**
My, what an honor it is to have
Kenji Mitsusada visit our shop!
**[05:31] Shin**
Um, may I have your autograph?
**[05:36] Kenji**
Is Gouki here?
**[05:39] Shin**
Gouki?
**[05:40] Kenji**
Gouki Daimonji.
**[05:41] Kenji**
He told me to come here.
**[05:44] Kenji**
He said there was a battle between
the shops, and that I should come.
**[05:51] Shin**
Um, I think there's been some mistake...
**[05:55] The Three**
We're sorry!
**[06:00] Shin**
I see. And you made this promise
to people from Voyage?
**[06:04] Misaki**
Sheesh. What were you thinking?
**[06:06] Shin**
Well, why not?
**[06:08] Shin**
I think a battle between
the shops is a great idea.
**[06:10] Misaki**
Shin!
**[06:12] Shin**
Take a look.
**[06:13] Shin**
Our customers are overjoyed
that Mitsusada has shown up.
**[06:20] Shin**
If Gouki and Leon come here too,
**[06:23] Shin**
think of the publicity!
**[06:26] Shin**
It'll be raining money down on Card Capital!
**[06:30] Misaki**
If we lose, we'll have to shut our doors!
**[06:36] Morikawa**
Actually, why's Koutei
doing an autograph session?
**[06:39] Izaki**
He's a big softie!
**[06:40] Kenji**
Here you go.
**[06:41] Kenji**
Who's next?
**[06:43] The Three**
Me! Me! Me!
**[06:44] Aichi**
Excuse me...
**[06:46] Aichi**
I'm sorry.
**[06:47] Kenji**
Who are you?
**[06:48] Aichi**
My name is Aichi Sendou.
**[06:50] Aichi**
We agreed to do a battle between the shops,
**[06:53] Aichi**
but actually, we haven't yet
received this shop's permission.
**[06:56] Kamui**
We haven't formed a team yet, either.
**[06:58] Kamui**
But we'll have everything ready
in time for the battle next week.
**[07:03] Emi**
Oh right! Isn't the battle between the shops
supposed to be next week?
**[07:11] Kenji**
Oh no! I got the date wrong!
**[07:14] Kenji**
I'm ashamed of myself.
**[07:16] Kenji**
Well then, I'll return next week.
**[07:19] Miwa**
Hold on, Imperial Majesty.
**[07:22] Miwa**
Since you're here, how about fighting me?
**[07:25] Aichi**
Miwa...
**[07:26] Miwa**
He's gonna fight next week, anyway.
**[07:29] Miwa**
And I wanna see what it's like to go up
against Asia's third-ranked fighter.
**[07:33] Kamui**
You've got some nerve...
**[07:36] Kenji**
Sure.
**[07:37] Izaki**
He accepted, just like that!
**[07:38] Morikawa**
The guy's crazy-nice!
**[07:45] Kenji**
What's your name?
**[07:48] Miwa**
Taishi Miwa.
**[07:49] Kenji**
I'm Kenji Mitsusada. Nice to meet you.
**[07:53] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[07:57] Miwa**
I ride Tap the Hyper!
**[08:00] Kenji**
Embark!
**[08:05] Kenji**
Dimensional Robo, Goyusha!
**[08:08] Emi**
It's a robot!
**[08:09] Aichi**
It resembles the units Kamui uses.
**[08:12] Kamui**
No it doesn't, Brother Aichi!
**[08:14] Kamui**
Nova Grappler is a strong
hand-to-hand combat army corps.
**[08:18] Kamui**
Koutei's clan is Dimension Police.
**[08:20] Kamui**
They're champions of justice
who crack down on criminals.
**[08:24] Emi**
They look the same to me.
**[08:26] Kamui**
I know, right?
**[08:27] Miwa**
Here I go! Ride!
**[08:29] Miwa**
Rocket Hammer Man!
**[08:34] Miwa**
Tap the Hyper's skill activates!
**[08:37] Miwa**
I draw one card, and that's my turn.
**[08:39] Kenji**
Change out!
**[08:44] Kenji**
Dimensional Robo, Daibrave!
**[08:47] Kenji**
Join me, Daitiger!
**[08:52] Kenji**
Go for it, Daitiger!
**[09:03] Kenji**
Not bad.
**[09:06] Kenji**
Thanks a lot, Red Lightning!
**[09:09] Miwa**
So this is what it's like to play against
Asia's third-ranked fighter...
**[09:12] Miwa**
I'm nervous, but I'm not gonna lose my cool!
**[09:16] Miwa**
After all, fighting Kai is a million times
more nerve-wracking than this!
**[09:21] Miwa**
I ride Boomerang Thrower!
**[09:23] Miwa**
Then I call Death Army Guy and Cat Butler!
**[09:26] Cat**
Always at your call, m'lord.
**[09:28] Guy**
Guy!
**[09:30] Miwa**
Go, Death Army!
**[09:32] Guy**
Guy!
**[09:36] Miwa**
Take this!
**[09:38] Kenji**
I'm counting on you, Daibattles!
**[09:41] Miwa**
Drive check!
**[09:43] Miwa**
Critical trigger!
**[09:44] Miwa**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
**[09:47] Morikawa**
Even with +10,000 power,
**[09:49] Morikawa**
he can't reach Daibrave's 23,000!
**[09:54] Miwa**
Don't be so sure!
**[09:55] Kenji**
What?!
**[09:56] Miwa**
When my attack is blocked,
**[09:58] Miwa**
Cat Butler can stand
a Vanguard of grade 2 or lower!
**[10:04] Miwa**
Thank you!
**[10:06] Cat**
Your weapon, m'lord Vanguard.
**[10:14] Emi**
Yay!
**[10:16] Aichi**
You have the advantage, Miwa!
**[10:17] Kamui**
But when your opponent is Koutei,
you can't let your guard down.
**[10:21] Kenji**
Change out! Daidragon!
**[10:29] Kenji**
Daidragon's skill activates!
**[10:31] Kenji**
Soulblast! +5000 power!
**[10:35] Kenji**
Let's go, team!
**[10:41] Aichi**
Miwa!
**[10:42] Morikawa**
Now they have the same amount of damage!
**[10:48] Miwa**
They don't call him "Emperor" for nothing!
But this'll make beating him worth it!
**[10:52] Miwa**
Stand and draw!
**[11:00] Miwa**
Trampling multitudes of corpses,
**[11:02] Miwa**
the invincible god of fighting alights!
**[11:08] Miwa**
Asura Kaiser!
**[11:11] Kamui**
There it is!
**[11:12] Misaki**
Asura Kaiser!
**[11:14] Miwa**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[11:22] Miwa**
I call Miss Splendor to the Accel Circle!
**[11:25] Shin**
Any unit that's placed on the
Accel Circle gets +10,000 power.
**[11:29] Miwa**
And now I call Cup Bowler and
Cat Butler to the rear-guard!
**[11:52] Miwa**
Go, Cup Bowler!
**[11:56] Miwa**
Miss Splendor's skill activates!
**[12:02] Miwa**
Cup Bowler gets +3000 power!
**[12:05] Miwa**
On top of that, this attack
can't be intercepted!
**[12:08] Kenji**
Daidragon!
**[12:12] Kenji**
Drat! Daitiger!
**[12:15] Kamui**
He blocked it!
**[12:17] Miwa**
I'm not done yet!
Miss Splendor attacks your Vanguard!
**[12:21] Morikawa**
Splendor's power has risen to 25,000!
**[12:25] Morikawa**
And he still can't intercept!
**[12:29] Kenji**
No guard!
**[12:33] Kenji**
Damage check!
**[12:36] Aichi**
That makes 4 damage.
**[12:38] Miwa**
You'll remember this bit!
**[12:46] Miwa**
Twin drive! First check!
**[12:50] Emi**
A front trigger!
**[12:52] Kamui**
All of his front-row units get +10,000 power!
**[12:55] Miwa**
Second check!
**[12:58] Emi**
No trigger...
**[13:00] Misaki**
But it's a grade 3.
**[13:02] Emi**
What does that mean?
**[13:04] Miwa**
With Asura Kaiser,
**[13:05] Miwa**
if a grade 2 or higher unit
is drawn on a drive check,
**[13:08] Miwa**
you can stand a rear-guard.
**[13:10] Miwa**
And if it's a grade 3,
**[13:13] Miwa**
you can do a Counterblast to get +10,000 power!
**[13:21] Emi**
Wow!
**[13:22] Izaki**
He's got Koutei on the ropes!
**[13:24] Morikawa**
He's gonna win! He's gonna win!
**[13:26] Misaki**
We'll see...
**[13:28] Aichi**
Misaki?
**[13:30] Misaki**
It's followed his pattern for certain victory.
**[13:32] Misaki**
But that means he'll be in trouble
if this attack doesn't go through.
**[13:36] Kamui**
Seriously?! Right now,
Miss Splendor's power is 45,000!
**[13:41] Kamui**
But you're still not sure he'll make it?
**[13:45] Miwa**
I'm counting on you, Miss Splendor!
**[13:47] Miwa**
Finish off that heap of scrap
that's acting like an emperor!
**[13:53] Kenji**
It's true that my machine is pretty beat up.
**[13:56] Kenji**
It may as well be scrap metal.
**[13:59] Kenji**
Even so...
**[14:01] Kenji**
...the flames of courage
still burn within my heart!
**[14:07] Kenji**
And I have friends fighting alongside me!
**[14:18] Kamui**
50,000 total?!
**[14:24] Kenji**
Did you see that? That's the power
of Dimension Police's friendship!
**[14:37] Miwa**
Oh, man...
**[14:39] Miwa**
Were those Koutei's hidden reserves?
**[14:43] Miwa**
My turn is over!
**[14:48] Kenji**
Then let's go! Trans-dimension!
**[14:58] Kenji&Daiyusha**
A heart of justice burns with flame!
**[15:00] Kenji&Daiyusha**
Super Dimensional Robo, Daiyusha!
**[15:06] Kenji**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[15:12] Kenji**
Daiyusha gets +10,000 power!
**[15:15] Kenji**
Furthermore, I call Daidragon
and Daibrave to the rear-guard,
**[15:18] Kenji**
and activate the skills of all three units!
**[15:20] Daiyusha**
Brave up!
**[15:21] Kenji**
When Daiyusha's power exceeds 35,000,
**[15:24] Kenji**
it gains an extra critical!
**[15:26] Kenji**
And since the power of my
Vanguard exceeds 35,000,
**[15:29] Kenji**
my Daidragon units each receive +10,000 power!
**[15:35] Kenji**
Do us proud, Daidragon!
**[15:45] Kenji**
Strike him down, hammer of justice!
**[15:51] Daiyusha**
Let's go!
**[15:54] Kenji&Daiyusha**
Special move! Justice Sword!
**[16:00] Aichi**
Miwa!
**[16:07] Daiyusha**
What?!
**[16:11] Miwa**
Looks like I've miraculously
hung on by my fingernails.
**[16:17] Inenaga**
So he had a perfect guard, huh?
**[16:20] Morikawa**
He's actually a decent fighter!
**[16:22] Aichi**
Miwa...
**[16:24] Kenji**
The fight isn't over yet!
**[16:27] Daiyusha**
A true hero never gives up, to the very end!
**[16:31] Miwa**
Wh-What?!
**[16:33] Kenji**
Twin drive! First check!
**[16:38] Kenji**
Draw trigger!
**[16:40] Kenji**
I give the power to Daidragon!
**[16:41] Kenji**
Second check!
**[16:45] Kenji**
Critical trigger!
**[16:46] Miwa**
A double trigger?!
**[16:49] Kamui**
And one trigger's critical!
**[16:52] Kenji**
Now Daidragon has 40,000 power!
**[16:55] Kenji**
It's become a 2-critical super machine!
**[17:00] Kenji**
Daidragon, burning attack!
**[17:12] Miwa**
Damage check!
**[17:15] Miwa**
No trigger...
**[17:17] Miwa**
I lose.
**[17:37] Miwa**
Man, you're strong!
**[17:39] Miwa**
I can see why you're one of
Asia's top three fighters.
**[17:43] Kenji**
You did well yourself.
Thank you for a rousing match.
**[17:49] Inenaga**
That was awesome, Miwa!
**[17:51] Morikawa**
You did great against Koutei!
**[17:53] Izaki**
I'm impressed!
**[18:00] Miwa**
There's someone at this shop
who's even stronger than me.
**[18:03] Kenji**
Really? Who?
**[18:05] Miwa**
Ever heard of the Solitary Fighter?
**[18:08] Kenji**
"The Solitary Fighter"?
**[18:10] Kenji**
I've heard rumors...
**[18:13] Miwa**
Toshiki Kai.
**[18:15] Miwa**
He's my buddy.
**[18:16] Kenji**
I see.
**[18:18] Kenji**
I look forward to next week's
battle between the shops.
**[18:26] Kenji**
Thanks for watching to the end!
**[18:29] Kenji**
See you!
**[18:30] Misaki**
W-Wait a second.
**[18:32] Misaki**
That's the restroom!

It's not every day you get to fight

**[18:52] Kai**
I'll keep my schedule open for next week.
**[18:54] Miwa**
All right!
**[18:56] Kai**
Aichi and Kamui, you two take
responsibility for this by participating.
**[18:59] Aichi**
Huh?
**[19:00] Kamui**
You don't have to tell me.
I was gonna do it, anyway.
**[19:04] Inenaga**
Then...
**[19:05] Izaki**
What about the last slot?
**[19:07] Morikawa**
Oh well! Guess I've gotta help out!
**[19:10] Miwa**
Why you?
**[19:12] Miwa**
I'm the only one here who's qualified!
**[19:15] Morikawa**
You just lost!
**[19:17] Miwa**
I was winning for most of it!
**[19:19] Miwa**
Are your eyes broken?!
**[19:21] Misaki**
Shut up!
**[19:23] Misaki**
If you're gonna argue, take it outside!
**[19:25] The Two**
S-Sorry...
**[19:27] Aichi**
Um, if you wouldn't mind...
**[19:30] Aichi**
...could I ask you to join, Misaki?
**[19:33] Misaki**
Why me?
**[19:36] Aichi**
During Miwa's fight...
**[19:44] Misaki**
It's followed his pattern for certain victory.
**[19:46] Misaki**
But that means he'll be in trouble
if this attack doesn't go through.
**[19:51] Aichi**
You coolly predicted the
flow of the battle, Misaki.
**[19:59] Aichi**
I think your analytical ability would be
a great contribution to the team.
**[20:06] Misaki**
Hold on. I'm an absolute beginner
who only started recently.
**[20:10] Misaki**
I lack the fighting ability for--
**[20:11] Shin**
There we have it!
**[20:12] Shin**
You four are the team members
for the battle between the shops!
**[20:16] Misaki**
I haven't agreed to do it yet!
**[20:18] Shin**
I'd like you to have a team name, too...
**[20:22] Misaki**
Hey! Listen to me!
**[20:27] Kai**
A team name, huh?
**[20:30] Emi**
At Voyage, they said their name was
"Nagisa with Others," or Team NwO.
**[20:36] Kamui**
Then how about if we go with
"Kamui and His Pals?"
**[20:40] Morikawa**
Are you just that stupid?
**[20:41] Miwa**
Big talk coming from the weakest link.
**[20:45] Kamui**
What was that?!
**[20:46] Shin**
Say, what do you think about "Quadrifoglio"?
**[20:50] Shin**
It means "four-leaf clover" in Italian.
**[20:54] Shin**
The four leaves would symbolize your
team unity, as well as your desire for victory.
**[21:09] Emi**
That's so cute!
**[21:12] Miwa**
Team Quadrifoglio...
**[21:15] Miwa**
That's long.
**[21:17] Kai**
We could make it "Q4" for short.
**[21:20] Aichi**
Yeah, that sounds nice.
**[21:22] Emi**
Then it's settled! Team Q4!
**[21:26] Misaki**
Hey, I haven't said I would join yet!
**[21:29] Shin**
Come on, it'll be fine!
**[23:11] Kenji**
Hi, everyone. Koutei here. Kenji Mitsusada.
**[23:15] Kenji**
Quadrifoglio's plan to
invade Earth has finally begun.
**[23:20] Kenji**
Arise, Daiyusha!
**[23:21] Kenji**
We need your power in order to
put an end to their mad ambition!

U-Um, I've decided to dedicate
my victory today to you, Miss Emi...
**[04:14] Morikawa**
Leave it to me, members of Team Q4!
**[04:17] Kamui**
Huh?
**[04:18] Morikawa**
I don't know much about this
Asia Circuit top three or whatever,
**[04:22] Morikawa**
but you'll win easily now that
the mighty Morikawa is here!
**[04:25] Izaki**
Hey! How would they "win easily"?!
**[04:28] Izaki**
We're just here to cheer them on!
**[04:30] Kamui**
I don't need anybody cheering me on!
**[04:33] Kamui**
I've got the goddess of victory,
Miss Emi, on my side!
**[04:37] Kamui**
Right, Miss Emi?!
**[04:42] Emi**
I'm Aichi's little sister, Emi.
Nice to meet you!
**[04:46] Gouki**
Hey, likewise!
**[04:49] Kamui**
Miss Emi!
**[04:50] Kamui**
You don't need to talk to them!
**[04:52] Kamui**
The goddess of smiles
should be mine and mine alone!
**[04:56] Nagisa**
Are you an idiot?! Who's a goddess?!
**[04:59] Nagisa**
And for a traitor like you,
the god of pestilence is more fitting!
**[05:02] Kamui**
What'd you say?!
**[05:03] Nagisa**
What of it?!
**[05:04] Shin**
Now now, that's enough, you two.
**[05:07] Shin**
You can resolve your differences
with a Cardfight! Okay?
**[05:14] Shin**
And now...
**[05:16] Shin**
The Battle between the Shops,
Team Q4 versus NwO, begins!
**[05:22] Shin**
The rules are simple: Victory will go
to the first team that makes three wins...
**[05:28] Shin**
...but it seems Koutei isn't here yet.
**[05:30] Gouki**
Sorry. He's late, as usual.
**[05:34] Kamui**
Hey! You're being a little
too casual about all this!
**[05:37] Kamui**
Underestimating Q4 would be a big mistake!
**[05:40] Kamui**
The Great Kamui's up first!
I'll set the tone from the start!
**[05:44] Nagisa**
In that case...
**[05:46] Nagisa**
I'll be the one to deal with the traitor.
**[05:50] Nagisa**
Come and get it.
**[05:53] Kamui**
Let's go!
**[05:54] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[05:58] Kamui**
The Great Kamui rides Battleraizer!
**[06:03] Nagisa**
Guiding Zombie!
**[06:06] Kamui**
You're Granblue!
**[06:08] Kamui**
So you have the same deck as Gouki!
**[06:11] Morikawa**
Hey! Do you guys really wanna win?!
**[06:14] Morikawa**
Having this elementary school student play!
**[06:17] Nagisa**
My Ruin Shade attacks your Vanguard!
**[06:20] Kamui**
No guard!
**[06:22] Gouki**
That's the way, Nagisa!
**[06:24] Gouki**
I trained Nagisa extra hard...
**[06:26] Gouki**
...so that she'd be ready for today.
**[06:29] Gouki**
Her training was tough and intense,
**[06:31] Nagisa**
Attack!
**[06:33] Gouki**
but she pulled through like a trooper!
**[06:33] Gouki**
Nagisa!
**[06:37] Gouki**
Now, Nagisa! Take 'im down!
**[06:40] Nagisa**
Time for you to pay, traitor!
**[06:47] Kamui**
I never thought Nagisa would be this strong!
**[06:51] Kamui**
No, wait!
**[06:52] Kamui**
She's Gouki's little sister!
Of course she wouldn't be weak!
**[06:56] Kamui**
But still...
**[06:58] Kamui**
Come out!
**[06:59] Kamui**
Burstraizer! Asura Kaiser!
**[07:02] Kamui**
Let's do this together!
**[07:04] Kamui**
Go!
**[07:05] Nagisa**
Forget it!
**[07:07] Nagisa**
A traitor like you...
**[07:10] Nagisa**
...is going nowhere!
**[07:14] Aichi**
She blocked an attack that included
the power of his Imaginary Gift!
**[07:19] Gouki**
That's the way, Nagisa!
**[07:21] Nagisa**
How's that, Traitor Kamui?
**[07:24] Nagisa**
This is how good I am.
**[07:28] Kamui**
I've gotta give you props.
**[07:30] Kamui**
But... even so...
**[07:34] Kamui**
I'm not gonna give up! Not ever!
**[07:37] Kamui**
My Vanguard attacks!
**[07:39] Kamui**
Its skill activates!
**[07:40] Kamui**
Now, stand up, my Asura Kaisers!
**[07:44] Kaisers**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[07:48] Miwa**
Attacking in waves by
standing his rear-guards.
**[07:51] Miwa**
That's Nova Grappler at its finest.
**[07:54] Kamui**
On top of that...
**[07:56] Kamui**
Burstraizer's skill!
**[07:57] Kamui**
I stand it, and it gets +3000 power!
**[08:01] Nagisa**
No guard...
**[08:02] Kamui**
Twin drive!
**[08:04] Kamui**
First check!
**[08:05] Kamui**
Second check!
**[08:07] Kamui**
I got a front trigger!
**[08:09] Kamui**
All of my front-row units get +10,000 power!
**[08:13] Kamui**
Here I come!
**[08:30] Shin**
The winner is Kamui Katsuragi of Team Q4!
**[08:34] Kamui**
All right!
**[08:35] Fan**
That was awesome!
**[08:37] Aichi**
You did it, Kamui!
**[08:38] Kamui**
Yeah!
**[08:40] Misaki**
That's one win for us.
**[08:42] Nagisa**
Waaah! Bro!
**[08:45] Gouki**
Oh, Nagisa!
**[08:47] Gouki**
You did great! What a good fight!
**[08:51] Gouki**
There, there.
It's his fault. It's all his fault.
**[08:55] Kamui**
Why?! I won fair and square!
**[08:59] Kamui**
I'm awesome!
**[09:01] Kamui**
Did you see that, Miss Emi?!
**[09:03] Emi**
No matter the circumstances,
only a jerk would make a girl cry!
**[09:07] Kamui**
B-But Miss Emi!
**[09:10] Emi**
I'm sorry Kamui was so mean to you.
**[09:13] Emi**
Are you okay?!
**[09:14] Kamui**
M-Miss Emi!
**[09:14] Nagisa**
Yes, thank you! Be sure to scold him later!
**[09:18] Kamui**
Miss Emi!
**[09:19] Shin**
Well, shall we move on to the next fight?
**[09:22] Shin**
Fighters, step forward!
**[09:24] Gouki**
How dare you make
my adorable little sister cry!
**[09:27] Gouki**
You'll pay for that right now!
**[09:29] Kamui**
But I'm not in the next fight!
**[09:32] Nagisa**
Beat 'em, Bro!
**[09:33] Gouki**
You bet!
**[09:34] Gouki**
I don't care what kinda fighter this
no-name shop's got, I'm gonna wipe 'em out!
**[09:41] Misaki**
"No-name shop"?
**[09:46] Misaki**
I'll fight you!
**[09:47] Gouki**
Hey, what? My opponent's an employee here?
**[09:50] Gouki**
Even for a no-name shop,
are you sure about sendin' in a clerk?
**[09:54] Misaki**
As you can see.
***SIGN*** Sub Manager
**[10:01] Misaki**
Are you ready?
**[10:03] Gouki**
Come and get it.
**[10:05] Both**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[10:20] Gouki**
I ride!
**[10:24] Gouki**
Dandy Guy, Romario!
**[10:27] Misaki**
I ride!
**[10:30] Misaki**
Circle Magus!
**[10:32] Misaki**
Come, Oracle Guardian, Gemini.
**[10:35] Misaki**
Prepare yourself.
**[10:39] Misaki**
There's more! Resist Foresight!
**[10:45] Gouki**
Not bad. But...
**[10:48] Gouki**
I ride!
**[10:51] Gouki**
Ruin Shade!
**[10:53] Gouki**
Now for my ridden Romario's skill!
**[10:55] Gouki**
I take three cards from my deck
and put 'em in the Drop Zone.
**[10:58] Gouki**
Then I move this Evil Shade
from the Drop Zone into my hand.
**[11:03] Gouki**
Let's go, ye scurvy dogs!
**[11:05] Kamui**
He's turned it around!
**[11:07] Gouki**
Oh, I ain't done yet!
**[11:10] Gouki**
I superior call Romario from the Drop Zone!
**[11:14] Gouki**
Undead vagabond thirstin' for life...
**[11:18] Gouki**
Arise and join my crew!
**[11:22] Romario**
Yes sir, my Vanguard!
**[11:27] Miwa**
By making a superior call from
the Drop Zone, he filled his ranks!
**[11:31] Gouki**
First, Nightmist attacks!
**[11:34] Misaki**
Come, Luck Bird!
**[11:38] Gouki**
All right! The hits'll keep on comin'!
**[11:40] Gouki**
My Ruin Shade attacks your Vanguard!
**[11:43] Gouki**
With its skill, it gets +4000 power!
**[11:46] Misaki**
No guard!
**[11:48] Gouki**
All right! Drive check!
**[11:52] Gouki**
Critical trigger!
**[11:53] Gouki**
I give the power to Blueblood,
**[11:56] Gouki**
and the extra critical to my Vanguard!
**[12:00] Gouki**
Keep it goin', Blueblood!
**[12:02] Blueblood**
No problem, my Vanguard!
**[12:11] Kamui**
Yikes! That's 3 damage all at once!
**[12:15] Gouki**
Ya like that?!
**[12:17] Misaki**
I ride!
**[12:21] Misaki**
Promise Daughter!
**[12:23] Gouki**
Come at me!
**[12:25] Misaki**
Circle Magus's skill.
**[12:27] Misaki**
I draw one card.
**[12:29] Misaki**
I move Gemini to the back row
**[12:31] Misaki**
and call Silent Tom.
**[12:33] Misaki**
Silent Tom's skill. +6000 power.
**[12:37] Tom**
Leave it to me, my Vanguard.
**[12:39] Misaki**
No. I'll attack first!
**[12:49] Misaki**
Now, Silent Tom!
**[12:51] Tom**
Yesss!
**[12:52] Tom**
I've been waiting for this!
**[12:56] Misaki**
It's Silent Tom's skill!
**[12:57] Misaki**
You can't guard with normal
units during this attack!
**[13:01] Gouki**
Nice one!
**[13:02] Gouki**
Then I'll use a trigger unit instead!
**[13:05] Gouki**
You're up, Knight Spirit!
**[13:08] Spirit**
Aye aye, sir!
**[13:11] Kamui**
So close! Just a little more,
and she would've come from behind!
**[13:16] Kamui**
Wasn't that close, Brother Aichi?
**[13:19] Aichi**
Yeah, but it's still great.
**[13:22] Aichi**
She's made it this far against Gouki.
**[13:24] Nagisa**
Do it, Bro!
**[13:26] Gouki**
Leave it to me, Nagisa!
**[13:28] Gouki**
I ride!
**[13:30] Gouki**
Dragon Undead...
**[13:35] Gouki**
...Skull Dragon!
**[13:38] Gouki**
Imaginary Gift! Protect!
**[13:41] Gouki**
Here's Skull Dragon's skill!
**[13:43] Gouki**
For each card in the Drop Zone,
it gets +2000 power!
**[13:47] Gouki**
Six cards!
**[13:50] Gouki**
+12,000 power!
**[13:52] Gouki**
I call Ruin Shade!
**[13:54] Gouki**
Let's go, ye scurvy dogs!
**[13:55] Units**
Yeah!
**[13:57] Kamui**
You've gotta block that, Misaki!
**[14:01] Gouki**
Get 'em, Nightmist!
**[14:05] Misaki**
Please, Nike!
**[14:08] Gouki**
Nice! But then I'll go!
**[14:11] Misaki**
No guard!
**[14:15] Misaki**
Damage check!
**[14:18] Misaki**
Critical trigger!
**[14:20] Misaki**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
**[14:25] Morikawa**
She did it! A damage trigger!
**[14:28] Gouki**
How naive.
**[14:29] Gouki**
My Ruin Shade attacks your Vanguard!
**[14:32] Gouki**
Its skill activates!
**[14:34] Gouki**
Ruin Shade gets +4000 power!
**[14:37] Misaki**
I already know that move!
**[14:39] Misaki**
Guard!
**[14:43] Kamui**
Awesome! She blocked it!
**[14:45] Aichi**
Yeah. That's thanks to you, Kamui.
**[14:48] Kamui**
Thanks to me?
**[14:51] Aichi**
Right.
**[14:52] Aichi**
During your fight with Nagisa,
**[14:56] Aichi**
Misaki spent the whole time
analyzing Granblue's characteristics.
**[15:01] Kamui**
Oh!
**[15:02] Miwa**
Once you can make countermeasures,
your odds of winning go way up.
**[15:05] Miwa**
A fighter's gotta know about the opposing clan.
**[15:10] Misaki**
I ride!
**[15:15] Miskai**
Imperial Daughter!
**[15:17] Misaki**
Imaginary Gift! Protect!
**[15:20] Misaki**
Imperial Daughter's skill!
**[15:22] Misaki**
I look at two cards from the top of my deck,
**[15:24] Misaki**
put one into my hand, and put the other
either back on the deck or into the Soul.
**[15:29] Misaki**
I'll put it back on the deck.
**[15:31] Gouki**
Must be a trigger, huh?
**[15:33] Gouki**
You came up with a decent strategy.
**[15:36] Gouki**
Too bad you're a fighter
from a no-name shop.
**[15:41] Misaki**
Quit calling us "no-name"!
**[15:43] Misaki**
I'll get you for that!
**[15:45] Misaki**
Okay, let's go!
**[15:47] Units**
Yeah!
**[15:48] Kamui**
All right! With its skill, the right-hand
Circle Magus gets +6000 power!
**[15:52] Kamui**
You can win this!
**[15:53] Misaki**
Yeah. Against this Voyage-whatever shop...
**[15:57] Circle Magus**
Resist Foresight!
**[16:02] Gouki**
Guard!
**[16:03] Misaki**
I can't lose to this guy!
**[16:06] Gouki**
I'll take on a trigger!
**[16:08] Gouki**
No guard!
**[16:10] Misaki**
Twin drive!
**[16:12] Misaki**
First check!
**[16:13] Misaki**
Critical trigger!
**[16:15] Misaki**
I give the power to Silent Tom,
and the extra critical to my Vanguard!
**[16:25] Gouki**
It ain't over yet!
**[16:27] Misaki**
Wrong. This ends here.
**[16:29] Misaki**
Silent Tom attacks your Vanguard!
**[16:32] Kamui**
Yeah!
**[16:33] Nagisa**
Bro!
**[16:35] Gouki**
I ain't surrenderin'. I'll never surrender!
**[16:38] Gouki**
Perfect guard!
**[16:40] Gouki**
Gust Djinn, blow 'em all away!
**[16:49] Gouki**
All right! I blocked it, Nagisa!
**[16:52] Nagisa**
Yeah!
**[16:55] Misaki**
It failed...
**[16:56] Gouki**
Still, you're pretty amazin'.
**[17:00] Gouki**
You're amazin', but as a big brother,
I've got somethin' I have to protect!
**[17:05] Gouki**
Sorry, but I've gotta win this!
**[17:08] Gouki**
I ride!
**[17:16] Gouki**
King of Demonic Seas, Basskirk!
**[17:21] Gouki**
Imaginary Gift! Protect!
**[17:24] Gouki**
Now for King of Demonic Seas, Basskirk's skill.
**[17:27] Gouki**
I have ten or more cards in the Drop Zone,
**[17:30] Gouki**
so I get +5000 power and an extra critical!
**[17:34] Gouki**
The more in my Drop Zone, the stronger I get!
**[17:38] Gouki**
That's Granblue clan!
**[17:42] Gouki**
On deck, Romario!
**[17:44] Romario**
Aye aye, sir!
**[17:45] Gouki**
With its skill, Romario gets +4000 power!
**[17:49] Gouki**
On top of that...
**[17:50] Gouki**
Here's King of Demonic Seas, Basskirk's skill!
**[17:53] Gouki**
Ruin Shade retires! I superior call
Skull Dragon from the Drop Zone!
**[18:00] Gouki**
Evil Shade!
**[18:07] Gouki**
Two Skull Dragon units!
**[18:10] Gouki**
All right, ye scurvy dogs!
**[18:12] Gouki**
Only one side can survive this battle.
**[18:15] Gouki**
Are you ready?!
**[18:19] Units**
Yeah!
**[18:20] Gouki**
I can't afford to lose.
**[18:22] Gouki**
If I did...
**[18:24] Gouki**
...Nagisa would be sad!
**[18:25] Gouki**
That's the one thing I can't let happen!
**[18:29] Gouki**
My big-brotherly pride's on the line here!
**[18:32] Gouki**
There!
**[18:33] Misaki**
I'll block it!
**[18:34] Misaki**
I swear I'll block that!
**[18:36] Misaki**
By my hand!
**[18:38] Misaki**
With Protect, perfect guard!
**[18:41] Gouki**
Well, shiver me timbers!
**[18:43] Gouki**
Twin drive!
**[18:45] Gouki**
First check!
**[18:46] Gouki**
Critical trigger!
**[18:48] Gouki**
I give all the effects to my right Skull Dragon.
**[18:51] Gouki**
Second check!
**[18:57] Gouki**
Critical trigger!
**[18:58] Gouki**
I give all the effects to my left Skull Dragon.
**[19:02] Nagisa**
Yeah! A double critical!
**[19:06] Misaki**
I can't block both of them...
**[19:12] Gouki**
Go, Skull Dragon!
**[19:40] Shin**
The winner is Gouki Daimonji of Team NwO!
**[19:45] Nagisa**
That's my big brother!
**[19:49] Gouki**
But I don't get it.
**[19:52] Gouki**
What's a strong fighter like you
doin' in this no-name cardshop?
**[19:58] Nagisa**
Bro!
**[20:00] Nagisa**
Misaki's mad because you keep
calling this place a "no-name shop"!
**[20:05] Gouki**
R-Really?!
**[20:08] Gouki**
Sorry! I really am sorry
for calling the shop "no-name"!
**[20:12] Gouki**
Sure, you're a clerk at a no-name shop...
**[20:17] Gouki**
...but you fight a mean Vanguard.
**[20:26] Misaki**
So do you.
**[20:28] Emi**
Misaki!
**[20:28] Aichi**
Misaki!
**[20:31] Misaki**
Sorry.
**[20:32] Kamui**
Don't worry! It's still one to one!
**[20:36] Aichi**
That was a great fight, Misaki.
**[20:42] Misaki**
Thank you.
**[20:45] Koutei**
Oh, sorry everyone!
**[20:48] Koutei**
I got on the wrong train!
**[20:53] Koutei**
Who am I fighting?
**[20:56] Koutei**
Aha! It has to be you!
**[20:59] Koutei**
I see that fighting spirit
hidden deep within your eyes!
**[21:02] Koutei**
You must be the Solitary Fighter, Toshiki Kai!
**[21:08] Koutei**
Oh, oops, sorry! I guess you're not him!
**[21:11] Koutei**
My mistake...
**[21:19] Koutei**
It's you, isn't it? Now I'm sure.
**[21:22] Koutei**
I've been looking forward to my fight with you,
**[21:26] Koutei**
Toshiki Kai.
**[21:29] Kai**
Let's go, then.
**[21:32] Koutei**
Right.
**[23:10] Gouki**
Great fight, Li'l Sis! That intensive
training you did with me sure paid off!
**[23:16] Nagisa**
But a loss is a loss.
**[23:17] Nagisa**
The traitor was supposed to
meet his fate by my own hand!
**[23:21] Gouki**
Nagisa, Vanguard is as vast as the open seas!
**[23:25] Gouki**
So once we get home,
you're gettin' my special training menu.
**[23:28] Nagisa**
Training menu?
**[23:29] Gouki**
A tropical parfait and pudding a la mode!
**[23:31] Gouki**
And a special Nagi-sundae, made in your image!
**[23:34] Gouki**
You get all that plus a shoulder massage, too!

**[02:40] Aichi**
My opponent is Leon Soryu,
the Asia Circuit champion.
**[02:46] Koutei**
Shall we begin?
**[03:03] Kai**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[03:03] Koutei**
Stand up, Vanguard!
***SIGN*** Image 9 Kai Loses!!
**[03:13] Unit**
Red Kick!
**[03:16] Koutei**
Go for it!
**[03:23] Koutei**
My turn is over.
**[03:28] Miwa**
Koutei's already unleashed
three attacks in a row.
**[03:31] Kamui**
Too bad he drew that critical trigger.
**[03:34] Kamui**
Kai could've just had 1 damage.
**[03:36] Nagisa**
Good going, Koutei!
**[03:42] Nagisa**
Nyaaah!
**[03:45] Misaki**
But now it's Kai's turn.
**[03:50] Aichi**
Kai...
**[03:55] Kai**
Ride!
**[03:59] Kai**
Berserk Dragon!
**[04:06] Kai**
Onward!
**[04:16] Koutei**
Damage check!
**[04:18] Koutei**
Draw trigger!
**[04:21] Koutei**
I give the power to my Vanguard.
**[04:27] Morikawa**
Now his Daidragon's got 20,000 power?!
**[04:32] Izaki**
But Bellicosity Dragon
boosted by Aermo has 21,000 power!
**[04:37] Inenaga**
He can beat Daidragon!
**[04:41] Kai**
Bellicosity, attack Cosmo Beak!
**[04:47] The Three**
Huh?!
**[04:48] Miwa**
Kai was annoyed by
Koutei's three consecutive attacks.
**[04:53] Miwa**
That's why he prioritized
retiring a rear-guard instead.
**[04:57] Morikawa**
Oh, I see...
**[05:01] Morikawa**
I mean, I knew that! Of course!
**[05:05] Koutei**
Daibattles!
**[05:08] Kai**
I knew it. He's desperately
defending his rear-guards.
**[05:12] Koutei**
Next turn, I'm going to
beat the daylights out of you.
**[05:19] Emi**
It's kind of like Kai's playing the bad guy.
**[05:22] Kamui**
You said it, Miss Emi!
**[05:24] Kamui**
Except he's not "playing,"
he really is a bad guy!
**[05:27] Kamui**
Don't get too close to him!
**[05:29] Aichi**
But Kai...
**[05:33] Aichi**
He looks like he's having so much fun.
**[05:36] The Two**
Huh?!
**[05:37] Kamui**
It looks like he's having fun?
**[05:39] Emi**
I don't see it.
**[05:44] Koutei**
Trans-dimension!
**[05:52] Koutei&Daiyusha**
A heart of justice burns with flame!
**[05:55] Koutei&Daiyusha**
Super Dimensional Robo, Daiyusha!
**[06:00] Koutei**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[06:03] Daiyusha**
Yeah!
**[06:07] Koutei**
Daiyusha gets +10,000 power!
**[06:10] Koutei**
And then I call! Daidragon! Daibrave!
**[06:14] Koutei**
Daidragon's skill activates!
**[06:16] Koutei**
Soulblast!
**[06:18] Koutei**
Daiyusha gets +5000 power!
**[06:21] Miwa**
That means Daiyusha's power is now 28,000!
**[06:25] Daiyusha**
Everyone!
**[06:26] Daiyusha**
Attack!
**[06:28] Unit**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[06:29] Unit**
Yes, sir!
**[06:31] Koutei**
If I'd called a Daibrave behind Daiyusha,
**[06:35] Koutei**
the power would be over 35,000,
**[06:37] Koutei**
and I'd have an extra critical.
**[06:40] Koutei**
However...
**[06:42] Kai**
If he draws even one trigger,
his power will be over 35,000.
**[06:46] Kai**
He's attacking with that in mind?
**[06:56] Koutei**
Strike him down, hammer of justice!
**[07:05] Koutei&Daiyusha**
Special move! Justice Sword!
**[07:13] Koutei**
Drive check!
**[07:14] Koutei**
No trigger.
**[07:15] Koutei**
Second check!
**[07:17] Koutei**
Critical trigger!
**[07:18] Koutei**
I give the power to my Vanguard!
**[07:22] Miwa**
Now Daiyusha has over 35,000 power!
**[07:26] Koutei**
I give the critical to...
**[07:28] Koutei**
...Daidragon!
**[07:29] Morikawa**
What?!
**[07:30] Morikawa**
If he'd given it to Daiyusha,
then he'd have 3 criticals!
**[07:35] Kai**
I get it.
**[07:43] Izaki**
Now he's got 4 damage!
**[07:45] Inenaga**
Yeah, but it could've been 5 damage!
**[07:50] Kai**
Demonic Dragon Mage, Rakshasa!
Lizard Soldier, Raopia!
**[08:02] Koutei**
Daiyusha's skill increases criticals.
**[08:07] Koutei**
Whether your damage is 4 or 5,
**[08:10] Koutei**
it doesn't change the fact that
I'll be finishing you off next turn.
**[08:14] Kai**
That's why he left my damage at just 4,
**[08:17] Kai**
which decreased my chances of
drawing a trigger with a damage check,
**[08:20] Kai**
and limited my Counterblasts.
**[08:23] Kai**
Plus he got me to use up cards from my hand.
**[08:26] Kai**
Makes sense.
**[08:28] Kai**
Stand and draw!
**[08:33] Kai**
So if he had made me
take more damage last turn,
**[08:37] Kai**
I would've drawn a trigger...
**[08:44] Kai**
Koutei's been controlling
the flow of this game. But now...
**[08:50] Kai**
Here I go!
**[08:53] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord,
**[08:56] Kai**
"The Vanguard"!
**[09:06] Kai**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[09:09] Kai**
The gift gives +10,000 power.
**[09:11] Kai**
And then I call Bellicosity Dragon!
**[09:14] Kai**
Overlord's skill activates.
**[09:16] Kai**
Soulblast!
**[09:18] Kai**
Overlord gets +10,000 power.
**[09:22] Miwa**
Now Overlord has 33,000 power!
**[09:26] Morikawa**
Koutei's gotta guard against that!
**[09:32] Kai**
Behold the power and might
known as the Flames of Apocalypse.
**[09:49] Koutei**
No guard!
**[09:54] Miwa**
But doesn't Koutei have
a perfect guard in his hand?!
**[09:57] Morikawa**
Guess not.
**[10:03] Kai**
Drive check.
**[10:05] Kai**
No trigger.
**[10:06] Kai**
Second check.
**[10:08] Kai**
Critical trigger!
**[10:09] Kai**
I give all the effects to my Vanguard!
**[10:17] Koutei**
Sorry, Daiyusha!
**[10:18] Daiyusha**
It's okay!
**[10:22] Nagisa**
That's 4 damage! Drat!
**[10:25] Gouki**
Don't worry, Nagisa.
**[10:26] Nagisa**
Huh?
**[10:28] Kai**
Since the attack hit,
Overlord's skill activates!
**[10:32] Kai**
Counterblast!
**[10:33] Kai**
I also discard two cards from my hand.
**[10:38] Kai**
Once more!
**[10:41] Miwa**
With this attack,
Koutei will have 6 damage!
**[10:44] Miwa**
He's finished!
**[10:45] Koutei**
Not so fast!
**[10:48] Koutei**
Perfect guard!
**[10:49] Koutei**
Diamond Ace!
**[10:51] Ace**
You won't get past me!
**[10:53] Miwa**
S-So he did have one!
**[10:56] Morikawa**
Why didn't he use it earlier?!
**[10:59] Kai**
So that was his ploy...
**[11:04] Nagisa**
If he'd guarded against that first attack,
then Overlord's skill wouldn't have activated!
**[11:10] Gouki**
Sure, but when Overlord restands,
he only gets one drive check.
**[11:15] Gouki**
And payin' the cost for
that skill has reduced his hand.
**[11:20] Gouki**
It was a move calculated to decrease
Toshiki Kai's defense during his next turn.
**[11:25] Gouki**
Still, plays like that
take beyond average courage.
**[11:29] Kai**
Drive check.
**[11:31] Kai**
Critical trigger!
**[11:32] Miwa**
Kai's got an opening!
**[11:35] Miwa**
I give all the effects to Bellicosity Dragon.
**[11:44] Miwa**
If this goes through, Kai wins!
**[11:47] Koutei**
Daibattles!
**[11:48] Koutei**
Cosmo Beak!
**[11:55] Miwa**
Seriously?
**[12:01] Koutei**
It's my turn, huh?
***SIGN*** Sub Manager
**[12:18] Koutei**
Daidragon's skill activates!
**[12:20] Koutei**
Soulblast!
**[12:22] Koutei**
Daiyusha gets +5000 power!
**[12:26] Koutei**
Daibrave's skill activates!
**[12:29] Koutei**
Soulblast!
**[12:30] Koutei**
Daiyusha gets another +5000 power!
**[12:33] Koutei**
I call Cosmo Beak!
**[12:35] Koutei**
Cosmo Beak's skill activates!
**[12:38] Koutei**
Counterblast!
**[12:40] Koutei**
Daiyusha gets +5000 power!
**[12:42] Daiyusha**
Brave up!
**[12:44] Koutei**
Daiyusha's power has surpassed 35,000,
so he gets an extra critical!
**[12:51] Koutei**
Furthermore...
**[12:52] Koutei**
By resting a rear-guard,
**[12:54] Koutei**
Daiyusha gets +10,000 power!
**[12:58] Morikawa**
So what's the total now?
**[13:03] Miwa**
48,000.
**[13:05] Morikawa**
48,000?!
**[13:09] Koutei**
Strike him down, hammer of justice!
**[13:16] Koutei&Daiyusha**
Special move! Justice Sword!
**[13:21] Kai**
To me, Wyvern Guard, Barri!
**[13:25] Koutei**
A perfect guard, huh?
**[13:27] Koutei**
Drive check!
**[13:30] Koutei**
No trigger.
**[13:32] Koutei**
Second check!
**[13:34] Koutei**
Critical trigger!
**[13:35] Koutei**
I give all of the effects to Cosmo Beak!
**[13:43] Koutei**
If you thought that would fend off
Daiyusha's attack, you were sorely mistaken!
**[13:50] Koutei**
Watch this, Toshiki Kai.
**[13:52] Koutei**
Daiyusha, give me the ultimate power!
**[13:56] Koutei**
Trans-dimension!
**[14:06] Koutei&Daiyusha**
True justice penetrates the darkness!
**[14:09] Koutei&Daiyusha**
Ultimate Dimensional Robo, Great Daiyusha!
**[14:15] Koutei**
On the turn when he's ridden,
Great Daiyusha gets +10,000 power!
**[14:19] Daiyusha**
Yeah!
**[14:22] Koutei**
Furthermore, with Great Daiyusha's skill,
**[14:25] Koutei**
each of my front-row units gets +10,000 power!
**[14:28] Daiyusha**
Yeah!
**[14:31] Koutei**
Furthermore...
**[14:32] Koutei**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[14:34] Daiyusha**
Yeah!
**[14:38] Koutei**
With the gift, Daidragon gets +10,000 power!
**[14:43] Morikawa**
40,000, again...
**[14:45] Miwa**
And right after he
survived a 48,000 attack, too!
**[14:50] Daiyusha**
Let's go, Koutei!
**[14:53] Koutei**
Yes! Great Daiyusha!
**[14:56] Daiyusha**
Don't fall behind,
my Dimensional Police comrades!
**[14:59] Unit**
Yes, sir!
**[15:00] Unit**
Aye aye, sir!
**[15:04] Kai**
No guard!
**[15:06] Aichi**
Kai!
**[15:08] Koutei**
Take this! The ultimate hammer!
**[15:11] Koutei&Daiyusha**
Super-special move! Great Justice Punch!
**[15:15] Koutei**
Drive check!
**[15:16] Miwa**
Please God!
**[15:19] Koutei**
No trigger!
**[15:21] Koutei**
Second check!
**[15:22] Koutei**
No trigger.
**[15:25] Morikawa**
Is this the time to feel relieved?!
**[15:30] Kai**
Damage check.
**[15:33] Kai**
Critical trigger.
**[15:35] Kai**
I give the effects to my Vanguard.
**[15:37] Nagisa**
Even with +10,000 power, it's too late.
**[15:41] Nagisa**
After all, Koutei's remaining two units
both have over 30,000 power.
**[15:49] Emi**
This means Kai now has 5 damage.
**[15:53] Kamui**
And Koutei still has
two units that can attack.
**[15:58] Aichi**
Yeah...
**[15:59] Koutei&Daiyusha**
Cosmo Beak!
**[16:02] Kai**
Embodiment of Spear, Tahr!
**[16:05] Koutei**
Not bad, Toshiki Kai.
**[16:07] Koutei**
In that case...
**[16:08] Koutei&Daiyusha**
Go, Daidragon!
**[16:11] Koutei**
A 40,000 power attack...
**[16:13] Koutei**
With just one card in hand,
**[16:15] Koutei**
you shouldn't be able to do anything about it.
**[16:23] Aichi**
Kai's...
**[16:24] Misaki**
No!
**[16:25] Kai**
To me, Genjo!
**[16:31] Koutei**
What?!
**[16:32] Koutei**
His final card was a
20,000-shield heal trigger?!
**[16:39] Kai**
It looks like...
**[16:41] Kai**
...I've managed to guide the flow my way.
**[16:49] Kai**
That said, I have zero cards in hand.
**[16:52] Kai**
I have to deliver 2 damage
to Koutei in the next turn...
**[16:56] Kai**
...with hardly any units.
**[17:01] Emi**
He really is playing the bad guy.
**[17:03] Kamui**
Not "playing," he is a bad guy!
**[17:06] Kai**
Stand and draw!
**[17:12] Aichi**
There it is! A unit that can attack!
**[17:15] Kai**
I call!
**[17:19] Kai**
Nehalem's skill activates!
**[17:21] Kai**
Counterblast!
**[17:23] Kai**
I retire Daibrave!
**[17:29] Kai**
Nehalem gets +5000 power.
**[17:33] Kai**
By retiring my opponent's rear-guard,
**[17:36] Kai**
Bellicosity also gets +5000 power.
**[17:38] Kai**
On top of that, Overlord's skill activates.
**[17:41] Kai**
Soulblast.
**[17:43] Kai**
+10,000 power!
**[17:46] Miwa**
Overlord already has
+10,000 power from a gift.
**[17:51] Miwa**
That makes 33,000 power!
**[17:54] Nagisa**
Bro!
**[17:55] Gouki**
It's Koutei, he'll pull through!
**[17:57] Kai**
Onward!
**[18:00] Units**
At your will!
**[18:05] Koutei&Daiyusha**
Shields up! Daibattles, Daitiger!
**[18:12] Kai**
Drive check!
**[18:14] Aichi**
Koutei's total shield is 38,000.
**[18:18] Aichi**
If he draws even one trigger,
the attack will go through!
**[18:21] Kai**
First check!
**[18:23] Kai**
No trigger.
**[18:24] Kai**
Second check!
**[18:29] Aichi**
There it is!
**[18:30] Koutei**
A critical trigger?!
**[18:32] Kai**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard.
**[18:51] Koutei**
Great Daiyusha!
**[19:03] Koutei**
Well, I lost.
**[19:05] Shin**
The winner is Toshiki Kai of Team Q4!

**[19:20] Extra2**

**[19:25] Morikawa**
Great fight, Koutei!
**[19:30] Kamui**
Yeah!
**[19:32] Emi**
Great!
**[19:32] Aichi**
Kai!
**[19:36] Koutei**
All right! One more fight.
**[19:44] Gouki**
Did you forget, Koutei?!
**[19:47] Gouki**
This is a battle between shops!
**[19:49] Nagisa**
Yeah!
**[19:52] Koutei**
Oh, that's right! Silly me!
**[19:55] Misaki**
That makes us 2-1, right?
**[19:57] Kai**
2-1...
**[19:59] Kamui**
You forgot too, huh?!
**[20:01] Aichi**
That just goes to show
how into the fight they both were.
**[20:08] Koutei**
Well done.
**[20:10] Koutei**
By not letting any disadvantage hinder you,
**[20:13] Koutei**
you yourself found the key to the future.
**[20:15] Koutei**
Solitary Fighter, Toshiki Kai,
let's have a rematch someday.
**[20:19] Kai**
Be glad to.
**[20:26] Koutei**
Well, see you!
**[20:30] Gouki**
It ain't over yet!
**[20:33] Nagisa**
Come back, Koutei!
**[20:39] Aichi**
Congratulations, Kai.
**[20:40] Miwa**
Of course you'd be the one to beat Koutei.
**[20:45] Kai**
It could've gone either way.
**[20:49] Kai**
What's wrong?
**[20:50] Miwa**
Hearing you say something like that...
**[20:53] Kai**
Yeah?
**[20:55] Miwa**
It's just not like you.
**[20:57] Miwa**
Right, Aichi?
**[21:00] Aichi**
But it really did look like
you were enjoying it, Kai.
**[21:04] Miwa**
You could tell, Aichi?!
**[21:06] Aichi**
You too, Miwa?
**[21:08] Miwa**
Well, yeah...
**[21:11] Shin**
The Battle Between the Shops,
featuring Team NwO versus Team Q4, is now 2-1.
**[21:16] Shin**
We've reached the final match.
**[21:20] Aichi**
If I win, Team Q4 will be victorious.
**[21:24] Leon**
I have one wish.
**[21:28] Leon**
That the wind will blow.
**[21:30] Aichi**
L-Let's have a good game.
**[23:10] Kai**
Koutei.
**[23:12] Kai**
You chose not to boost Daiyusha then.
**[23:14] Kai**
Was it because you guessed I'd use no guard?
**[23:17] Koutei**
Even without a boost,
I would've had 2 critical with a trigger.
**[23:20] Koutei**
And in regards to hand efficiency,
"no guard" was logical for you.
**[23:23] Kai**
That's true.
**[23:24] Kai**
Boosted or not, if we assume a "no guard,"
**[23:26] Kai**
you'd be better off using your cards
to their greatest advantage.
**[23:29] Kai**
So that's why you prioritized
boosting the rear-guard.
**[23:33] Koutei**
Triggers are luck of the draw.

the Battle Between the Shops,

How is this happening? Koutei lost?!
**[00:14] Customer B**
If that Aichi kid wins this,
then Team NwO will lose?
**[00:20] Customer C**
His opponent's Leon Soryu,
the strongest Cardfighter in Asia.
**[00:23] Customer C**
No way is he winning.
**[00:25] Kamui**
That's not true!
**[00:27] Kamui**
The flow is totally going Team Q4's way!
**[00:31] Kamui**
I just know Brother Aichi will work a miracle!
**[00:35] Aichi**
A miracle, huh?
**[00:38] Aichi**
It's true that Leon is strong.
**[00:42] Aichi**
But still...
**[00:43] Aichi**
...I want to have a passionate fight,
the way that Kai's fight was!
**[00:56] Misaki**
Something about him seems different...
**[01:01] Miwa**
How so?
**[01:05] Nagisa**
Honestly!
**[01:07] Nagisa**
What were you doing, Koutei?!
**[01:09] Nagisa**
All you had to do was beat that guy!
We could've creamed three of them in a row!
**[01:13] Koutei**
Sorry about that. I got careless.
**[01:17] Nagisa**
Careless?!
**[01:19] Koutei**
Well, I wish I could claim that,
but Team Q4 is actually pretty good.
**[01:23] Gouki**
Don't worry, Nagisa!
**[01:25] Gouki**
Our next guy's even stronger than me!
**[01:28] Gouki**
Leon's got this, Nagisa!
Just kick back and relax!
**[01:32] Nagisa**
Okay! Kicking back and relaxing!
**[01:37] Leon**
Well, shall we begin?
**[01:40] Aichi**
Yes!
**[01:42] Leon**
Stand up, my Vanguard!
**[01:42] Aichi**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[01:47] Aichi**
Vanguard.
**[01:48] Kai**
It's a card game in which you yourself
become the vanguard and fight!
**[01:52] Kai**
Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!
***SIGN*** Image 10 Wind of Aichi!!
**[03:37] Aichi**
I ride...
**[03:39] Aichi**
Knight Squire, Allen!
**[03:44] Aichi**
With Glyme's skill, I draw one card,
and that ends my turn.
**[03:51] Leon**
I ride!
**[03:55] Leon**
Tear Knight, Theo!
**[04:06] Morikawa**
Why hasn't Leon brought out any rear-guards?
**[04:14] Leon**
The wind will tell me.
**[04:16] Aichi**
Huh?
**[04:17] Leon**
What it is that I should do.
**[04:20] Leon**
Can't you hear it, too?
**[04:22] Leon**
The whispering of the wind.
**[04:24] Aichi**
The whispering... of the wind?
**[04:29] Aichi**
I can't let him throw me off.
**[04:32] Aichi**
I just have to fight my own way.
**[04:36] Aichi**
Stand up, my avatar!
**[04:38] Aichi**
I ride!
**[04:48] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[04:51] Emi**
It's Blaster Blade!
**[04:54] Misaki**
However...
**[04:55] Misaki**
...Leon didn't place any rear-guards,
**[04:57] Misaki**
so Aichi can't use Blaster Blade's skill.
**[05:00] Morikawa**
Oh, right...
**[05:01] Aichi**
And now...
**[05:02] Aichi**
I call Wingal and Knight of Silence, Gallatin!
**[05:10] Gallatin**
No problem.
**[05:10] Wingal**
Mrf!
**[05:11] Aichi**
Here I go!
**[05:15] Leon**
Damage check.
**[05:23] Aichi**
Gallatin, Wingal! Your move!
**[05:33] Leon**
That was a pleasant breeze.
**[05:36] Aichi**
A breeze?
**[05:41] Leon**
I ride!
**[05:43] Leon**
Marine General of the Restless Tides, Algos!
**[05:54] Leon**
Blow, O Whirlwind!
**[05:59] Aichi**
No, Gallatin!
**[06:02] Aichi**
What just happened?
**[06:05] Aichi**
The Vanguard didn't issue any orders,
**[06:07] Aichi**
yet Lazarus still attacked Gallatin?
**[06:11] Leon**
I call upon you...
**[06:13] Leon**
...O Gale!
**[06:17] Aichi**
And again!
**[06:18] Aichi**
The unit's acting on its own!
**[06:20] Aichi**
It's as though their minds were linked!
**[06:23] Aichi**
Flogal, help!
**[06:25] Flogal**
Right!
**[06:27] Aichi**
Flogal, go get some rest.
**[06:31] Leon**
There's no time to rest.
**[06:33] Leon**
The wind blows relentlessly, without mercy!
**[06:38] Lazarus**
Feuer!
**[06:42] Aichi**
Damage check!
**[06:48] Aichi**
A draw trigger.
**[06:54] Miwa**
Is Aichi gonna be okay?
**[06:56] Miwa**
He's got 3 damage now.
**[07:00] Aichi**
He really is amazing.
**[07:01] Aichi**
Somewhere along the way,
Leon got me following his lead.
**[07:05] Leon**
What's wrong? It's your turn.
**[07:08] Aichi**
H-Here I go!
**[07:10] Aichi**
I ride!
**[07:16] Aichi**
Come to me now, leader of light!
**[07:20] Aichi**
Prince of Royal Paladin!
**[07:23] Aichi**
Alfred Early!
**[07:28] Leon**
Oh?
**[07:31] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift!
**[07:33] Aichi**
Force!
**[07:38] Aichi**
My Vanguard gets +10,000 power!
**[07:41] Aichi**
On top of that, Alfred Early's skill activates!
**[07:44] Aichi**
I superior call Blaster Blade from the Soul!
**[07:52] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[07:56] Blaster**
Burst Buster!
**[08:05] Aichi**
Furthermore, I call Gallatin and Wingal.
**[08:08] Aichi**
Then Gallatin attacks!
**[08:10] Leon**
Damage check.
**[08:15] Aichi**
Let's go, Wingal!
**[08:16] Wingal**
Mrf-mrf!
**[08:21] Leon**
No guard.
**[08:23] Aichi**
Twin drive!
**[08:25] Aichi**
First check!
**[08:27] Aichi**
Second check!
**[08:29] Miwa**
There it is! A critical!
**[08:30] Kamui**
All right!
**[08:32] Aichi**
I give the power to Blaster Blade,
**[08:34] Aichi**
and the critical to Alfred Early!
**[08:42] Leon**
Damage check.
**[08:48] Leon**
Draw trigger.
**[08:50] Leon**
I give the power to Algos.
**[08:53] Morikawa**
Shoot! He drew a critical for nothing!
**[08:56] Izaki**
Still, Blaster Blade's power
is up to 35,000 now!
**[09:01] Izaki**
And with Wingal's boost,
Blaster Blade's power will be 43,000!
**[09:06] Emi**
Go, Aichi!
**[09:10] Aichi**
Attack!
**[09:11] Leon**
No guard.
**[09:17] Customer A**
Hey, he's got Leon on the ropes!
**[09:20] Customer B**
I don't believe it.
**[09:21] Customer B**
Just who is that Aichi kid?
**[09:25] Kamui**
Some Asia champion!
**[09:27] Kamui**
This shows you how strong Team Q4 is!
**[09:32] Misaki**
Keep quiet!
**[09:36] Aichi**
Thank you, everyone!
**[09:40] Aichi**
I can do this.
**[09:42] Aichi**
I may actually be able to beat Leon.
**[09:46] Nagisa**
Bro, is Leon gonna be okay?
**[09:49] Gouki**
Yeah...
**[09:49] Gouki**
He's got the wind at his back.
Know how I know?
**[09:54] Gouki**
'Cause he's on a whole 'nother level!
**[10:06] Leon**
Stand and...
**[10:07] Leon**
...draw.
**[10:11] Leon**
You should take caution.
**[10:12] Leon**
The wind will soon become a tempest.
**[10:15] Aichi**
Huh?
**[10:18] Leon**
A slumbering giant dragon
awakens from the depths.
**[10:22] Leon**
I ride...
**[10:31] Leon**
Blue Storm Dragon, Maelstrom!
**[10:36] Kamui**
Hey, that's...
**[10:37] Koutei**
The mega-powerful unit that
led him to victory at the Asia Circuit!
**[10:44] Leon**
Imaginary Gift.
**[10:46] Leon**
Accel!
**[10:50] Leon**
Assemble, O Storms!
**[10:55] Kamui**
Shoot! He's got a whole lineup now!
**[10:59] Kai**
Not only that.
**[11:01] Kai**
The Tidal Assault on the
Accel Circle gets +10,000 power.
**[11:05] Kai**
In addition, with Maelstrom's skill,
**[11:07] Kai**
all of his front-row units get +3000 power.
**[11:11] Misaki**
"Maelstrom" means a powerful whirlpool.
**[11:15] Misaki**
If it draws you in, you'll end up
at the bottom of the ocean.
**[11:18] Emi**
Aichi!
**[11:45] Leon**
Unfortunately, you're already in a storm zone.
**[11:48] Leon**
Hold on tight to avoid getting blown away.
**[11:52] Aichi**
I'm counting on you, Gallatin!
**[12:04] Leon**
Drive check.
**[12:07] Leon**
Front trigger.
**[12:10] Leon**
Critical trigger.
**[12:12] Miwa**
What?!
**[12:13] Kamui**
A double trigger?!
**[12:15] Leon**
I give the power to Tidal Assault
**[12:17] Leon**
and the critical to Maelstrom.
**[12:20] Aichi**
Damage check...
**[12:25] Aichi**
No trigger.
**[12:28] Kamui**
5 damage!
**[12:29] Morikawa**
Leon caught up to him in no time flat!
**[12:32] Misaki**
His back's to the wall!
**[12:33] Emi**
Aichi!
**[12:37] Nagisa**
Serves him right!
**[12:39] Nagisa**
This is the true strength
of Asia's number-one Cardfighter!
**[12:42] Gouki**
And it's still Leon's turn.
**[12:45] Gouki**
How long can their guy
withstand his turbulent attacks?
**[12:50] Leon**
Lazarus attacks your Vanguard.
**[12:53] Leon**
His skill activates. +3000 power.
**[13:01] Aichi**
What is this?
**[13:07] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[13:18] Aichi**
What was that sensation just now?
**[13:25] Emi**
That was close!
**[13:26] Misaki**
Nice intercept.
**[13:29] Aichi**
Huh?
**[13:37] Leon**
You felt it, didn't you?
**[13:39] Leon**
The wind that blows on the planet Cray.
**[13:42] Aichi**
Huh?!
**[13:43] Leon**
Let me hear more of your performance...
**[13:46] Leon**
...using the voice of your wind.
**[13:54] Aichi**
Epona! Akane!
**[13:58] Leon**
If you're able to sense the wind,
**[14:00] Leon**
your world will expand even further.
**[14:03] Aichi**
The wind?
**[14:05] Leon**
Now, let's start rowing...
**[14:07] Leon**
...to a glorious new world!
**[14:09] Aichi**
Attend me!
**[14:10] Aichi**
Flash Shield, Iseult!
**[14:13] Gouki**
What?!
**[14:14] Emi**
He had a perfect guard?!
**[14:17] Leon**
This ends my turn.
**[14:19] Morikawa**
He rode out Leon's attack!
**[14:21] Miwa**
I'd say the wind's changed direction!
**[14:25] Kamui**
He can do this! Brother Aichi can win!
**[14:29] Aichi**
Stand and draw!
**[14:34] Aichi**
My new power! You came for me!
**[14:42] Aichi**
Come to me now!
**[14:46] Aichi**
The master of paladins!
**[14:55] Aichi**
King of Knights, Alfred!
**[15:00] Miwa**
Whoa!
**[15:02] Kai**
So that's Aichi's new power...
**[15:06] Emi**
That unit...
**[15:07] Emi**
It's the card that Aichi was
talking to so happily last night.
**[15:15] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift!
**[15:16] Aichi**
Force!
**[15:23] Aichi**
I call High Dog Breeder, Akane!
**[15:26] Aichi**
Counterblast!
**[15:27] Aichi**
I superior call Pongal!
**[15:29] Aichi**
And with King of Knights, Alfred's skill,
**[15:32] Aichi**
I superior call Blaster Blade!
**[15:42] Aichi**
Welcome back, Blaster Blade!
**[15:47] Kamui**
Awesome!
**[15:49] Kamui**
With Wingal and Blaster Blade
linked to Alfred's skill,
**[15:53] Kamui**
their power just keeps rising!
**[15:55] Aichi**
Let's go, everyone!
**[15:58] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[16:01] Blaster**
Burst Buster!
**[16:07] Aichi**
Akane, Pongal, I'm counting on you!
**[16:12] Leon**
I'll halt that wind!
**[16:18] Aichi**
Let's go, Wingal!
**[16:19] Wingal**
Mrf-mrf!
**[16:23] Leon**
I'm not finished yet!
**[16:27] Izaki**
A perfect guard?!
**[16:29] Morikawa**
Hey, that's just proof that
Aichi's driven him to the wall!
**[16:33] Morikawa**
He can win this!
**[16:35] Nagisa**
Bro!
**[16:36] Gouki**
D-Don't panic!
**[16:37] Gouki**
If I know Leon, he's still in great shape!
**[16:40] Aichi**
Twin drive!
**[16:42] Aichi**
First check!
**[16:45] Aichi**
Second check!
**[16:47] Aichi**
Critical trigger!
**[16:49] Aichi**
I give all of the effects to Blaster Blade!
**[16:51] Kamui**
Yes!!
**[16:53] Izaki**
Now Blaster Blade's power is 30,000!
**[16:56] Izaki**
With Wingal's boost, it'll be 38,000!
**[16:59] Morikawa**
Aichi's gonna win.
**[17:03] Aichi**
Blaster Blade, Wingal,
you can handle this, right?
**[17:16] Leon**
The wind is still blowing my direction.
**[17:20] Aichi**
Huh?
**[17:32] Kamui**
He blocked it...
**[17:35] Gouki**
See that, Nagisa?!
**[17:36] Gouki**
That's the ability of the guy
who whipped me good!
**[17:39] Nagisa**
Bro...
**[17:46] Leon**
You played admirably, Aichi Sendou.
**[17:48] Leon**
But it appears your wind couldn't reach me.
**[17:56] Leon**
Farewell, King of Knights.
**[18:02] Kai**
Aichi!
**[18:03] Kai**
Focus on the fight!
**[18:05] Aichi**
Guard!
**[18:06] Aichi**
Bringer of Good Luck, Epona!
**[18:09] Miwa**
Whoever wins or loses
depends on luck of the draw!
**[18:11] Kamui**
No triggers! No triggers!
**[18:14] Leon**
Twin drive...
**[18:16] Leon**
First check.
**[18:19] Leon**
Second check.
**[18:21] Gouki**
He got a trigger!
**[18:23] Koutei**
Now Maelstrom's power is 33,000!
**[18:26] Morikawa**
He could still reverse this with a trigger!
**[18:30] Aichi**
Damage check...
**[18:51] Aichi**
I lost.
**[18:54] Shin**
The final match of the
Battle Between the Shops is over!
**[18:57] Shin**
The winner is Leon Soryu!
**[19:01] Kamui**
Whoa...
**[19:03] Kamui**
I've never seen a fight like that before!
**[19:07] Gouki**
All right!
**[19:09] Gouki**
Great job, Leon!
**[19:11] Gouki**
I chose the right guy to count on.
**[19:13] Leon**
Sorry, but I must be going now.
**[19:16] Nagisa**
You're leaving?
**[19:17] Leon**
I have a plane to catch.
**[19:20] Gouki**
Sure. Sorry we kept ya.
**[19:23] Aichi**
O-One moment!
**[19:26] Aichi**
Thank you.
**[19:28] Aichi**
I'm so glad I got the chance to fight you.
**[19:31] Leon**
"The jet stream"...
**[19:32] Aichi**
Huh?
**[19:34] Leon**
Westerly winds that blow
at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
**[19:37] Leon**
The higher the wind, the stronger it blows.
**[19:39] Leon**
You too should strive to
reach the heights of Vanguard.
**[19:43] Leon**
I'll be waiting.
**[19:50] Miwa**
That's the Asia champion for you.
**[19:55] Aichi**
The heights of Vanguard...
**[20:02] Morikawa**
Hey!
**[20:03] Emi**
Aichi!
**[20:04] Miwa**
Are you okay?!
**[20:08] Misaki**
You must be exhausted
from using your brain so much.
**[20:11] Misaki**
Does anybody have any candy or chocolate?
**[20:25] Aichi**
But still...
**[20:38] Aichi**
Just what happened then, anyway?
**[20:43] Shin**
Well, now it's even, with both teams
having two wins and two losses...
**[20:47] Miwa**
We could just leave it as a tie.
No hard feelings that way.
**[20:51] Gouki**
No, we agreed that the tournament
goes to the team that gets three wins first.
**[20:55] Gouki**
We've gotta do a tiebreaker!
**[20:58] Kai**
What do you think?
**[20:59] Misaki**
Do it if you like.
**[21:00] Kamui**
I'll do it!
**[21:02] Shin**
Kamui...
**[21:04] Kamui**
Watching Brother Aichi's fight
got me all kinds of pumped up!
**[21:09] Kamui**
Let me fight this!
**[21:11] Kamui**
With you as my opponent...
**[21:14] Kamui**
Gouki Daimonji!
**[21:15] Gouki**
What?
**[21:17] Koutei**
Was that in the rules?
**[21:19] Nagisa**
Hey, why not?!
**[21:20] Nagisa**
If he insists, we have no reason to refuse!
**[21:26] Gouki**
So, how much have you improved?
**[21:28] Gouki**
I'll have you show it to me...
**[21:31] Gouki**
...Kamui!
**[23:10] Miwa**
We've got a caller! Hello there!
**[23:12] Aichi**
I-It's my first call...
**[23:14] Aichi**
I'm Aichi Sendou,
a third year in middle school.
**[23:16] Miwa**
What's your question, Aichi?
**[23:18] Aichi**
The other day, I was constructing a deck,
**[23:19] Aichi**
when Blaster Blade started talking to me.
**[23:22] Miwa**
Blaster Blade, talking?
**[23:24] Aichi**
Right.
**[23:24] Aichi**
He's told me, "Aichi, go to bed now,
or you'll have trouble waking up tomorrow."
**[23:27] Aichi**
And, "Comb out your bed head."
**[23:30] Aichi**
And, "Chew properly during meals."
**[23:32] Miwa**
Your response, resident expert Toshiki Kai?
**[23:34] Kai**
Aichi, that wasn't Blaster Blade talking.

**[00:00] Kamui**
Who's this shop's strongest fighter?!
**[00:05] Gouki**
That'd be me!
**[00:08] Kamui**
Gouki was seriously tough.
**[00:10] Kamui**
I was no match for him.
**[00:15] Kamui**
I became a regular at Voyage
so that I could beat Gouki...
**[00:24] Kamui**
...but I just couldn't win!
**[00:26] Kamui**
I figured I was going nowhere, so...
**[00:29] Kamui**
I'm not coming back to Voyage
till I've gotten good enough to beat Gouki!
**[00:35] Aichi**
Vanguard.
**[00:36] Aichi**
It's a card game in which you yourself
become the vanguard and fight!
**[00:41] Kai**
Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!
**[02:22] Kamui**
Today's the day I'll finally crush you!
**[02:25] Kamui**
Steel yourself, Gouki!
**[02:26] Gouki**
How much have you improved?
**[02:29] Gouki**
I'll have you show me, Kamui!
**[02:35] Emi**
Kamui is really fired up...
**[02:37] Aichi**
Yeah... This fight is
a very important one for Kamui.
**[02:43] Emi**
Because Q4's victory is on the line?
**[02:46] Aichi**
There is that, but...
**[02:48] Miwa**
For him, this fight's extra personal.
**[02:51] Miwa**
He's been training all this time
so that he could beat Gouki.
**[02:56] Miwa**
I'm sure he's feeling
tons of pressure on both counts.
**[03:01] Nagisa**
Good luck, Bro!
**[03:03] Koutei**
We're counting on you, Gouki!
**[03:06] Shin**
And now, Team Q4 versus Team NwO!
**[03:10] Shin**
Let the final deciding match begin!
**[03:13] Kamui**
Here I come!
**[03:14] Gouki**
I'm ready!
**[03:15] Both**
Stand up, Vanguard!
***SIGN*** Image 11 Battle of Men!!

**[03:49] Kamui**
You guys get out here, too!
Burstraizer! Raizer Custom!
**[03:55] Gouki**
Come at me, then!
**[03:56] Kamui**
Go! Raizer Strike!
**[04:07] Kamui**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[04:10] Kamui**
Burstraizer's skill activates!
**[04:14] Kamui**
Get up, Burstraizer!
**[04:16] Kamui**
And with its skill, Raizer Custom also stands!
**[04:20] Gouki**
No guard.
**[04:22] Kamui**
Drive check!
**[04:24] Kamui**
Draw trigger!
**[04:26] Kamui**
I give the power to Burstraizer!
**[04:34] Kamui**
Now, Burstraizer!
**[04:41] Kamui**
How was that?!
**[04:43] Aichi**
Kamui!
**[04:46] Nagisa**
Koutei!
**[04:48] Koutei**
It's still early in the fight. Don't worry.
**[04:53] Gouki**
I ride!
**[04:58] Gouki**
Ruin Shade!
**[05:00] Gouki**
Now for my ridden Dandy Guy, Romario's skill!
**[05:03] Gouki**
I put three cards from
my deck into the Drop Zone,
**[05:06] Gouki**
then move this Knight Spirit
from the Drop Zone into my hand.
**[05:10] Gouki**
Have at 'em, ye scurvy dogs!
**[05:12] Units**
Yeah!
**[05:16] Gouki**
Ruin Shade's skill activates.
**[05:19] Gouki**
Seems you've gotten a bit stronger.
**[05:22] Kamui**
You bet I have!
**[05:24] Gouki**
But you still ain't up to my level!
**[05:30] Gouki**
Wouldn't you agree, Blueblood?
**[05:33] Blueblood**
Aye, Cap'n.
**[05:40] Gouki**
Blueblood's skill.
**[05:43] Gouki**
What's wrong, Kamui?
**[05:44] Gouki**
Show me the results of your training!
**[05:49] Kamui**
You don't have to tell me!
**[05:52] Kamui**
The Great Kamui rides!
**[05:54] Kamui**
Perfect Raizer!
**[06:00] Kamui**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[06:03] Kamui**
Come out, Hi-powered Raizer Custom!
**[06:08] Kamui**
You too, Asura Kaiser!
**[06:12] Kamui**
Go!
**[06:21] Gouki**
Not bad.
**[06:23] Kamui**
Go, Hi-powered Raizer Custom!
**[06:26] Gouki**
Get movin', Dancing Cutlass!
**[06:28] Gouki**
Ruin Shade!
**[06:31] Gouki**
Intercept!
**[06:33] Kamui**
Now for the Great Kamui!
**[06:35] Kamui**
Ultimate Full Throttle!
**[06:41] Kamui**
Perfect Raizer's skill!
**[06:43] Kamui**
On top of that, Raizer Custom's skill activates!
**[06:48] Kamui**
Whenever you fall, get back up!
**[06:51] Kamui**
That's what you taught me that day.
**[06:58] Kamui**
I haven't been winning at all lately...
**[07:01] Kamui**
What should I do to get stronger?
**[07:04] Gouki**
A man shouldn't look so glum.
**[07:08] Kamui**
Gouki!
**[07:09] Gouki**
If you wanna know the answer
that badly, then I'll tell you.
**[07:13] Gouki**
The trick is...
***SIGN*** Don't get defeated!
**[07:17] Gouki**
Don't get defeated!
**[07:21] Kamui**
Well yeah, that's obvious!
**[07:25] Gouki**
It doesn't matter how many times you fall.
***SIGN*** Instead of
giving up,
keep getting up!
**[07:28] Gouki**
Instead of givin' up, keep gettin' up!
**[07:30] Kamui**
I do that already!
**[07:32] Kamui**
But I'm still not winning.
That's the problem!
**[07:36] Gouki**
Yeah, I guess.
**[07:38] Gouki**
But that's not all.
**[07:40] Gouki**
There's still somethin' that you lack.
**[07:42] Kamui**
Yeah, that!
**[07:44] Kamui**
Tell me what I lack!
**[07:52] Gouki**
You've gotta search for that yourself.
**[07:55] Gouki**
In your trainin'.
**[08:11] Kamui**
Get up again and again.
**[08:13] Kamui**
Never give up!
**[08:14] Kamui**
That's the Great Kamui!
**[08:16] Gouki**
I hear you.
**[08:18] Gouki**
But from what I've seen,
you still can't beat me!
**[08:22] Gouki**
Perfect guard!
**[08:24] Gouki**
Gust Djinn!
**[08:25] Gouki**
Gust Djinn's skill activates!
**[08:28] Gouki**
Your attack won't hit Ruin Shade!
**[08:32] Kamui**
Nuts!
**[08:33] Kamui**
Twin drive!
**[08:34] Kamui**
First check!
**[08:36] Kamui**
Second check!
**[08:38] Kamui**
Front trigger!
**[08:39] Kamui**
All of my front-row units get +10,000 power!
**[08:50] Kamui**
I can't give up!
**[08:52] Kamui**
Joint power-up!
**[08:54] Kamui**
Go, Asura Kaiser!
**[09:01] Kamui**
Now! Hi-powered Raizer Custom!
**[09:05] Kamui**
Hammer Spank!
**[09:08] Gouki**
I'm countin' on you two!
**[09:18] Kamui**
It didn't go through.
**[09:20] Kamui**
But still...
**[09:24] Izaki**
Awesome! He's got the Asia Circuit's
number-two fighter up against the wall!
**[09:28] Inenaga**
Maybe... just maybe, he could...
**[09:32] Morikawa**
My support...
**[09:34] Morikawa**
...will be the critical trigger to his heart!
**[09:38] All**
Ka-mu-i! Ka-mu-i! Ka-mu-i!
**[09:45] Aichi**
Gouki has one card in hand.
**[09:47] Aichi**
But...
**[09:48] Miwa**
Yeah. He's got a ton of cards in his Drop Zone.
**[09:52] Miwa**
What's he scheming?
**[09:55] Misaki**
This is a showdown! Stay fired up!
**[09:58] Emi**
Good luck, Kamui!
**[10:03] Nagisa**
Fight, Bro!
**[10:05] Koutei**
Bring it home, Gouki!
**[10:08] Gouki**
What's the matter, Kamui?
**[10:09] Gouki**
Is that all you got from your trainin'?
**[10:13] Gouki**
It's like I told you then.
**[10:15] Gouki**
There's still somethin' you lack.
**[10:20] Gouki**
Show it to me!
**[10:22] Gouki**
Show me the answer you found!
**[10:38] Gouki**
I ride!
**[10:43] Gouki**
King of Demonic Seas, Basskirk!
**[10:49] Gouki**
Imaginary Gift, Protect.
**[10:52] Gouki**
I have ten or more cards in the Drop Zone,
**[10:55] Gouki**
so Basskirk gets +5000 power
and an extra critical this turn.
**[11:02] Gouki**
Evil Shade's skill activates.
**[11:05] Gouki**
I superior call one more Evil Shade unit.
**[11:08] Gouki**
Souls of the dead who wander Cray...
**[11:11] Gouki**
Arise and join my crew!
**[11:17] Gouki**
Now for this Evil Shade's skill!
**[11:20] Gouki**
I superior call Skull Dragon!
**[11:23] Gouki**
Skull Dragon's skill!
**[11:25] Gouki**
For each card in the Drop Zone,
it gets +2000 power!
**[11:31] Gouki**
With its skill, I superior call
Dancing Cutlass from the Drop Zone!
**[11:41] Gouki**
I've kept you waitin', Skull Dragon.
But I'll unleash you now!
**[11:45] Gouki**
Now this Skull Dragon's skill!
**[11:50] Gouki**
Now Basskirk's skill! +15,000 power!
**[11:55] Gouki**
Let's go get 'em, ye scurvy dogs!
**[12:04] Aichi**
He filled up the board by
superior calling from the Drop Zone.
**[12:08] Miwa**
For the same "superior call,"
**[12:10] Miwa**
it's totally different from
your Royal Paladin clan's.
**[12:14] Miwa**
Especially now...
**[12:16] Misaki**
In fact, his back-row rear-guards
have all been enhanced,
**[12:20] Misaki**
even more than during his fight with me.
**[12:22] Misaki**
He's unstoppable.
**[12:28] Nagisa**
Whoa! He's great!
**[12:30] Nagisa**
That's my Bro!
**[12:32] Koutei**
Hence why he's Asia's number two.
**[12:34] Koutei**
Gouki Daimonji is the one
who put Voyage on the map.
**[12:39] Gouki**
That's all ya got? Then I'll end this.
**[12:43] Gouki**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[12:48] Inenaga**
And he just had him on the run!
**[12:50] Izaki**
It's all over?!
**[12:52] Morikawa**
We're done for!
**[12:54] Morikawa**
I knew I shoulda been the one to fight!
**[12:59] Misaki**
Shut your mouth!
**[13:01] Izaki**
You just got carried away.
Hey, cheer up!
**[13:06] Aichi**
It isn't over yet, Kamui!
**[13:10] Kamui**
Brother Aichi!
**[13:18] Kamui**
Brother Aichi wasn't worrying
about victory or defeat then.
**[13:24] Kamui**
So that's it...
**[13:26] Kamui**
No guard!
**[13:28] Miwa**
Now that's bold!
**[13:30] Gouki**
Kamui...
**[13:32] Gouki**
Twin drive!
**[13:34] Gouki**
First check!
**[13:36] Gouki**
Second check.
**[13:37] Gouki**
Heal trigger!
**[13:39] Gouki**
I heal 1 damage point.
**[13:41] Gouki**
Here I come!
**[13:48] Kamui**
I'll show you, Gouki!
**[13:50] Kamui**
I'll show you the real results of my training!
**[14:02] Kamui**
I ain't finished yet!
**[14:03] Kamui**
Come and get me!
**[14:06] Gouki**
Well, blow me down.
**[14:08] Gouki**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[14:10] Gouki**
Breath of Atonement!
**[14:13] Kamui**
I'm counting on ya, Twin Blader!
**[14:18] Blader**
Electric Splash!
**[14:24] Gouki**
Skull Dragon! One more blast!
**[14:29] Kamui**
Watch me, Brother Aichi!
**[14:32] Kamui**
Witness the Great Kamui's major victory!
**[14:36] Kamui**
It's in your hands, Wall Boy and Turboraizer!
**[14:44] Gouki**
Kamui, you...
**[14:47] Aichi**
You did it, Kamui!
**[14:49] Kamui**
It's thanks to you, Brother Aichi!
**[14:53] Gouki**
Now I see.
**[14:54] Gouki**
When you said you were testin'
your skills here, you weren't lyin'.
**[15:00] Kamui**
That's right!
**[15:08] Kamui**
Stand and draw!
**[15:11] Kamui**
Now it's my turn!
**[15:13] Kamui**
I'm gonna show you!
**[15:16] Kamui**
I'll show you my passionate fighting!
**[15:23] Morikawa**
Seriously?!
**[15:25] Morikawa**
He used up all the cards in his hand!
**[15:28] Miwa**
If Gouki hits him with that blast next turn,
**[15:31] Miwa**
he won't be able to withstand it!
**[15:32] Miwa**
He's gotta try to win now!
**[15:34] Aichi**
Go for it, Kamui!
**[15:37] Kamui**
All right!
**[15:38] Kamui**
Go, Hi-powered Raizer Custom!
**[15:42] Gouki**
That's perfect! No guard!
**[15:45] Kamui**
Hammer Spank!
**[15:54] Gouki**
I'm still standin'.
**[15:55] Gouki**
Damage check!
**[15:58] Gouki**
All right! Critical trigger!
**[16:00] Gouki**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
**[16:03] Misaki**
Now none of Kamui's attacks will go through.
**[16:07] Aichi**
But it's not over yet.
**[16:13] Gouki**
What's wrong, Kamui?
**[16:14] Gouki**
Come'n get me!
**[16:17] Kamui**
I don't need an invitation!
**[16:19] Kamui**
Lend me your power, Battleraizer!
**[16:21] Kamui**
Releasing the limiter! Ultimate Full Throttle!
**[16:27] Kamui**
Skill activates!
**[16:29] Kamui**
Stand, Hi-powered Raizer Custom!
**[16:34] Kamui**
Raizer Flash!
**[16:37] Gouki**
Knight Spirit!
**[16:43] Kamui**
Twin drive...
**[16:45] Miwa**
It's the fateful drive check!
**[16:47] Miwa**
Kamui's got no chance of winning
unless he draws a front trigger!
**[16:54] Aichi**
The other triggers can attack,
but can't break through Protect.
**[16:59] Aichi**
But with a front trigger...
**[17:03] Morikawa**
Oh God! Oh Buddha!
**[17:05] Morikawa**
Oh Me!
**[17:18] Aichi**
Kamui!
**[17:20] Nagisa**
Bro!
**[17:21] Emi**
Please!
**[17:26] Kamui**
F-Front trigger...
**[17:30] Gouki**
Looks like you finally figured it out.
**[17:32] Kamui**
Gouki...
**[17:34] Gouki**
The real meaning behind,
"Don't get defeated."
**[17:41] Gouki**
Don't forget that strength of will, Kamui.
**[17:44] Gouki**
As long as you have that,
**[17:45] Gouki**
I just know you'll get even stronger!
**[18:07] Shin**
The winner is...
**[18:08] Shin**
Team Q4!
**[18:10] Shin**
Kamui Katsuragi!
**[18:13] Aichi**
Kamui!
**[18:16] Misaki**
He really did it.
**[18:22] Gouki**
I lost.
**[18:25] Gouki**
You've improved a lot, Kamui.
**[18:28] Kamui**
Gouki...
**[18:30] Gouki**
Don't forget.
**[18:32] Gouki**
That power you have...
**[18:33] Gouki**
You've gained it by seriously
strivin' to get stronger.
**[18:44] Gouki**
Kamui.
**[18:45] Gouki**
Come back to our place again.
**[18:57] Kamui**
I appreciate the invite, but no thanks.
**[19:01] Kamui**
The place I belong...
**[19:05] Kamui**
...is right here.
**[19:15] Gouki**
Nagisa!
**[19:17] Gouki**
You're shedding passionate tears
over your brother's manly fight!
**[19:26] Gouki**
Nagisa!
**[19:28] Nagisa**
Kamui!
**[19:30] Kamui**
Huh?!
**[19:36] Kamui**
Hey!
**[19:38] Kamui**
What're ya doing?!
**[19:39] Kamui**
Leggo of me!
**[19:39] Nagisa**
I won't let you go!
**[19:41] Nagisa**
Marry me, Kamui!
**[19:43] Kamui**
What?!
**[19:45] Kamui**
Where'd that come from?!
You're not making any sense!
**[19:48] Kamui**
Aren't you the one who called me a traitor?!
**[19:52] Nagisa**
But you're the one who dumped Voyage!
**[20:01] Gouki**
I never could agree to anyone
who couldn't even beat me.
**[20:06] Gouki**
But then you did it!
**[20:11] Gouki**
What can I say?
**[20:12] Gouki**
You've both got my blessing!
**[20:15] Kamui**
Wait! My heart's already set on a goddess...
**[20:19] Emi**
Congratulations, Kamui!
**[20:21] Emi**
You beat Gouki and then
found your future bride! That's great!
**[20:26] Morikawa**
Wow, talk about a double critical!
**[20:28] Morikawa**
Good one, huh?
**[20:32] Kamui**
Save me!
**[20:33] Kamui**
Brother Aichi!
**[20:42] Kamui**
Good grief. What have I gotten myself into?
**[20:49] Kamui**
But still...
**[20:51] Kamui**
...I won!
**[20:57] Kamui**
I beat Gouki!
**[21:01] Kamui**
Me!
**[21:07] Kamui**
Now I bet I can even beat him...
**[21:29] Ren**
This is boring...
**[21:31] Ren**
Maybe I've gotten too strong.
**[21:37] Ren**
Kai...
**[23:10] Preacher**
Do you promise to love him,
come what may, in good times and in bad?
**[23:15] Nagisa**
I do!
**[23:16] Preacher**
And thus, you may exchange your First Vanguard--
**[23:18] Kamui**
No way!
**[23:19] Nagisa**
Kamui, you're so bashful!
**[23:20] Kamui**
No, I'm not!
**[23:22] Kamui**
Since when do you use the same clan as me?!
**[23:24] Nagisa**
Bro put together a deck for me.
He said it was my dowry!
**[23:27] Gouki**
Nagisa! It's my farewell gift
to you as your big brother!
**[23:31] Nagisa**
Ohh, thank you, Bro!
**[23:33] Kamui**
Save me, Brother Aichi!

**[00:06] Asuka**
Gouki Daimonji.
Second place in the Asia Circuit.
**[00:12] Asuka**
He frequents a card shop called Voyage.
**[00:16] Asuka**
These are the locations of all nearby shops.
**[00:19] Kyou**
Rumor has it that the playing level
in this area is pretty high.
**[00:23] Kyou**
I even heard the Asia champion,
Leon Soryu, made an appearance here.
**[00:28] Ren**
Rumor has it, huh?
**[00:29] Tetsu**
We don't want rumors.
**[00:32] Tetsu**
We need solid intel.
***SIGN*** Voyage Card Capital
**[00:37] Tetsu**
This is an invasion plan for the area.
**[00:40] Tetsu**
Pending your approval, Ren.
**[00:42] Ren**
I'll leave it all to you, Tetsu and Atsuko.
**[00:47] Ren**
Oh...
**[00:48] Ren**
You too. Boy.
**[01:05] Tetsu**
Ren has given his approval!
**[01:08] Tetsu**
Our new invasion plan takes effect now!
**[01:13] Tetsu**
We have only one rule!
**[01:15] All**
"Winners get all! Losers get lost!"
**[01:20] Tetsu**
Team Asteroid, move out!
**[01:22] All**
Yeah!
**[01:28] Aichi**
Vanguard.
**[01:29] Aichi**
It's a card game in which you yourself
become the vanguard and fight!
**[01:34] Kai**
Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!
***SIGN*** Image 12 Mysterious Adversary Asteroid!!
**[03:18] Aichi**
See you later!
**[03:21] Kamui**
Good morning to you, Brother Aichi!
**[03:25] Aichi**
Huh? Kamui?
**[03:26] Kamui**
You're off to Card Capital, right?
**[03:29] Kamui**
With Miss Emi!
**[03:31] Aichi**
Emi went shopping with a friend.
**[03:33] Kamui**
Oh, she did?
**[03:39] Kamui**
That's fine! If I get to go with you,
Brother Aichi, then I've got no complaints!
**[03:44] Aichi**
Don't you actually live
pretty far from here, Kamui?
**[03:49] Aichi**
Why not go to a shop in your neighborhood?
**[03:52] Kamui**
What're ya talking about?
Then I wouldn't get to see you, Brother Aichi!
**[03:57] Aichi**
I guess that's true.
**[04:00] Kamui**
Besides, my local shop...
Well, it's complicated.
**[04:06] Morikawa**
C'mon! Hurry it up!
**[04:13] Izaki**
Aww, man! No trigger...
**[04:16] Morikawa**
Yes! Five wins in a row!
**[04:19] Inenaga**
You're in the zone, Morikawa!
**[04:33] Kawanami**
Who's the strongest fighter at this shop?
**[04:37] Morikawa**
That'd be...
**[04:39] Morikawa**
...me!
**[04:41] The Two**
What?!
**[04:43] Morikawa**
For customers currently in the shop! It's me!
**[04:46] The Two**
Oh, true...
**[04:49] Morikawa**
What can I, the strongest, do for you?
**[04:52] Kawanami**
If I beat the strongest fighter here,
**[04:54] Kawanami**
then this shop will be affiliated with us.
**[04:58] Inenaga**
Who's "us"?
**[05:00] Kawanami**
We are Team Asteroid.
**[05:04] Izaki**
"Team Asteroid"...
**[05:06] Izaki**
Originally named after
mysterious flying objects
**[05:09] Izaki**
spotted by fighter pilots during World War II...
**[05:13] Morikawa**
All right. I'll fight ya.
**[05:16] Inenaga**
Are you sure, Morikawa?
**[05:18] Izaki**
If Misaki finds out, we'll be in trouble...
**[05:21] Morikawa**
I'm on a roll today. Don't worry!
**[05:26] Morikawa**
Let's get started.
**[05:28] Kawanami**
But first...
**[05:29] Kawanami**
Put these on.
**[05:33] Kawanami**
A pair of VF gloves.
Gloves for Vanguard fighters.
**[05:38] Kawanami**
Team Asteroid only does serious fights.
**[05:42] Kawanami**
This item will let you
experience a serious fight.
**[05:46] Morikawa**
A serious fight, huh?
Just what I was asking for!
**[05:54] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[06:00] Aichi**
Kai, Miwa!
**[06:03] Miwa**
Seriously, guys? Is this the only place
you think of going when you've got a day off?
**[06:08] Miwa**
Well, not like we can talk...
**[06:14] Kai**
What was that?!
**[06:16] Aichi**
Morikawa!
**[06:21] Aichi**
Are you okay, Morikawa?!
**[06:23] Kawanami**
The fight's not over yet!
**[06:26] Kawanami**
There's still the final damage check.
**[06:28] Izaki**
Just stop it!
**[06:30] Inenaga**
This isn't Vanguard!
**[06:31] Kawanami**
What are you jabbering about?!
**[06:34] Kawanami**
This is a serious Vanguard fight!
**[06:36] Kawanami**
This is what he asked for!
**[06:39] Aichi**
A serious Vanguard fight?
**[06:43] Misaki**
Enough of this! I'm throwing them out!
**[06:45] Morikawa**
W-Wait!
**[06:48] Morikawa**
No way am I gonna lose to a guy like him...
**[06:58] Morikawa**
No trigger...
**[07:01] Kawanami**
Now, imagine it!
**[07:03] Kawanami**
Imagine yourself
perishing miserably on the planet Cray!
**[07:19] Aichi**
Morikawa!
**[07:22] Morikawa**
A-Aichi...
**[07:26] Morikawa**
These things are bad news...
**[07:29] Aichi**
A glove?
**[07:32] The Two**
Morikawa!
**[07:34] Miwa**
What're those gloves?
**[07:36] Misaki**
VF gloves.
**[07:38] Misaki**
If you fight while wearing them,
**[07:40] Misaki**
they detect the motion of
placing a card in the Damage Zone,
**[07:44] Misaki**
and then deliver a painful electric shock.
**[07:48] Miwa**
What the heck kinda item is that?
**[07:52] Kamui**
Don't tell me that Team Asteroid...
**[07:56] Kamui**
...has come to this shop, too?
**[07:59] Kawanami**
You know about Team Asteroid?
**[08:03] Kawanami**
I get it! You got scared and
ran away from our serious fights!
**[08:09] Kawanami**
I bet your former shop
became one of our affiliates,
**[08:13] Kawanami**
so you came running here
to do "casual fights" again.
**[08:17] Aichi**
Kamui...
**[08:18] Kamui**
No... that's not why!
**[08:23] Kamui**
I...
***SIGN*** Go-To Card Shop
**[08:26] Kamui**
Here comes my finishing move!
**[08:29] Kamui**
Yay! I won!
**[08:31] Reiji**
Aww, you got me!
**[08:33] Eiji**
Yo, play me next, Kamui!
**[08:36] Kamui**
I used to hang out at
my neighborhood card shop.
**[08:41] Kamui**
I played Vanguard there
with my friends every day.
**[08:45] Kamui**
Until one day...
**[08:49] Kyou**
We're with Team Asteroid.
**[08:51] Kyou**
We're looking for a serious fight.
**[08:54] Kyou**
If I beat this shop's strongest fighter,
**[08:57] Kyou**
then this place will be
affiliated with Team Asteroid.
**[09:02] Reiji**
You're the shop's strongest fighter, Kamui!
**[09:04] Eiji**
Kick 'em out!
**[09:06] Kamui**
Gotcha!
**[09:07] Kamui**
I'm always serious!
**[09:09] Kamui**
I'll beat you bozos with my serious fighting!
**[09:13] Kyou**
Then put these on.
**[09:17] Kamui**
At the time, I had no idea
what they meant by "a serious fight."
**[09:24] Kyou**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[09:27] Kamui**
No guard!
**[09:28] Kamui**
Damage check!
**[09:32] Kamui**
No trigger!
**[09:47] Reiji**
Kamui!
**[09:48] Eiji**
What?!
**[09:49] Kamui**
Wh-What the heck is this pain?!
**[09:54] Kyou**
I told you this would be a serious fight.
**[09:57] Kamui**
Huh?
**[09:59] Kyou**
Imagine it.
**[10:01] Kyou**
Suppose you were an actual
inhabitant of the planet Cray.
**[10:05] Kyou**
How would it feel if you
got attacked? Painful, right?
**[10:10] Kyou**
These VF gloves let you experience that pain!
**[10:17] Kyou**
Pain is what makes you grow as a fighter.
**[10:20] Kyou**
That's why it's a serious fight!
**[10:23] Kamui**
B-But...
**[10:27] Kamui**
The rest was pure torture.
**[10:33] Kamui**
Oh no...
**[10:43] The Two**
Kamui!
**[10:44] Kyou**
From now on, this shop
is affiliated with Team Asteroid!
**[10:48] Fighter D**
We'll teach you how to have serious fights.
**[10:51] Fighter C**
Here, put on these VF gloves!
**[10:58] Reiji**
Make it stop!
**[11:03] Kamui**
Eiji...
**[11:04] Kamui**
Reiji...
**[11:12] Kamui**
Hey, wait up!
**[11:14] Kamui**
What d'you mean, you quit?!
**[11:19] Reiji**
We don't care about Vanguard anymore.
**[11:23] Eiji**
You go by yourself.
***SIGN*** Team Asteroid
**[11:38] Kamui**
What the heck...
**[11:41] Fighter C**
You're dead!
**[11:43] Fighter D**
Darn it!
**[11:49] Fighter H**
We only have serious fights at this shop.
**[11:52] Fighter H**
If you wanna fight here,
you've gotta wear these.
**[11:55] Owner**
Kamui...
**[11:59] Owner**
All right if we talk?
**[12:02] Kamui**
You're closing the shop?!
**[12:04] Owner**
I was running the shop because I like
to see kids having fun playing Vanguard.
**[12:11] Owner**
But now, there's no reason
for me to keep the place going.
**[12:14] Kamui**
Pops...
**[12:16] Owner**
Thank you for being such a loyal customer.
**[12:21] Kamui**
I'm sorry, Pops!
**[12:23] Kamui**
This never would've happened
if I'd been stronger than them.
**[12:28] Kamui**
That's when I made my decision.
**[12:30] Kamui**
I'd beat Team Asteroid, no matter what!
**[12:34] Kamui**
I went to Voyage where Gouki hangs out,
**[12:36] Kamui**
and came here to Card Capital,
**[12:38] Kamui**
all so I could get strong enough
to defeat Team Asteroid!
**[12:43] Kamui**
It's convenient that you came here!
**[12:45] Kamui**
Now, fight me!
**[12:59] Kawanami**
Defeat Team Asteroid, you say?
**[13:04] Kawanami**
That's hilarious!
**[13:06] Kawanami**
But go on, give it a try!
**[13:08] Kawanami**
While wearing the VF gloves, of course!
**[13:11] Kawanami**
You can use his.
**[13:15] Kamui**
Fine.
**[13:17] Aichi**
Don't do it, Kamui!
**[13:19] Aichi**
Anything that can make someone
pass out like that is dangerous!
**[13:22] Kamui**
I'll be fine, Aichi!
**[13:24] Kamui**
I've fought while wearing 'em before.
**[13:35] Kamui**
Will I really be fine?
**[13:37] Kamui**
Can I withstand the pain?
**[13:42] Kamui**
I'll have to!
**[13:43] Kamui**
I'll need to get past the
pain to beat Team Asteroid!
**[13:51] Kamui**
Darn it! Why won't it come off?!
**[13:54] Kamui**
Darn it! Darn it! Darn it!
**[13:58] Kamui**
This piece of...
**[14:03] Kamui**
Sorry...
**[14:07] Aichi**
Kai, what are you...?
**[14:10] Kamui**
H-Hey!
**[14:14] Kai**
I'll beat him.
**[14:19] Kawanami**
Fine. I don't care who I fight.
**[14:22] Kawanami**
As long as it's a serious fight...
**[14:25] Aichi**
It's wrong to fight while
wearing something like that!
**[14:27] Kai**
Yeah. It is wrong.
**[14:31] Kai**
That's why I have to do it!
**[14:34] Miwa**
Don't tell me they're...
**[14:37] Kai**
Please. Just let me handle this.
**[14:40] Misaki**
You're making a request?
**[14:56] Kai**
Let's do this.
**[14:57] Kawanami**
Enjoy your taste of
a serious fight with Team Asteroid.
**[15:02] Kai**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[15:02] Kawanami**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[15:05] Kai**
I ride Lizard Runner, Undeux!
**[15:13] Kawanami**
I ride Machining Worker Ant!
**[15:17] Kawanami**
Now, imagine it.
**[15:19] Kawanami**
We've touched down
in the wilderness of the planet Cray.
**[15:24] Kawanami**
Now begins a serious fight
with our very lives on the line!
**[15:29] Kai**
I go first.
**[15:31] Kai**
I ride Embodiment of Armor, Bahr!
**[15:36] Kawanami**
I also ride!
**[15:38] Kawanami**
Machining Hornet!
**[15:40] Kawanami**
Take this! It's my serious attack!
**[15:49] Aichi**
Guard, Kai!
**[15:51] Kai**
No guard!
**[16:03] Aichi**
Kai!
**[16:06] Kawanami**
You feel that?
**[16:07] Kawanami**
That's the pain of a serious fight!
**[16:09] Kawanami**
And the pain gets stronger
each time you take damage!
**[16:12] Kawanami**
How much can you take, I wonder?
**[16:17] Kai**
That guy's still pulling stuff like this?!
**[16:26] Kawanami**
I ride Machining Mantis!
**[16:35] Aichi**
Another "no guard"...
**[16:36] Kamui**
Why doesn't he guard when
he knows that it's gonna hurt?
**[16:41] Misaki**
That isn't his fighting style.
**[16:43] Misaki**
He's just fighting the way he usually does.
**[16:47] Misaki**
Despite the pain...
**[16:49] Kawanami**
It seems you're able to
endure the pain somewhat.
**[16:52] Kawanami**
But for how long can you put up with it?
**[16:55] Kawanami**
I ride Machining Stag Beetle!
**[17:01] Kawanami**
Imaginary Gift. Protect.
**[17:04] Kawanami**
With this, I can use a perfect guard anytime.
**[17:07] Kawanami**
Your attacks won't get past me!
**[17:10] Kawanami**
Mow them down, Insect Railgun!
**[17:26] Aichi**
Kai!
**[17:27] Kawanami**
How was that?! Made a real impact, didn't it?!
**[17:30] Kawanami**
It'll all be over next turn.
**[17:32] Kawanami**
Savor your impending death!
**[17:36] Kai**
So pathetic...
**[17:38] Kawanami**
Pathetic?
**[17:41] Kawanami**
Yes, you really are pathetic!
**[17:45] Kawanami**
You tried playing it cool,
**[17:47] Kawanami**
but you couldn't do anything!
Aside from getting crushed by me.
**[17:51] Kai**
You people are the pathetic ones!
**[17:56] Kai**
Believing you can't have a serious fight
without relying on junk like this!
**[18:01] Kawanami**
What?!
**[18:02] Miwa**
I knew it. Team Asteroid must be...
**[18:08] Kai**
Imagine it.
**[18:12] Kawanami**
This is... the planet Cray?
**[18:18] Kawanami**
That's right.
**[18:21] Kawanami**
I'm Machining Stag Beetle.
**[18:24] Kai**
I ride!
**[18:28] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord!
**[18:39] Kawanami**
That's Dragonic Overlord!
**[18:44] Kai**
Watch closely. This is my true form!
**[19:00] Kai**
I'm not done yet!
**[19:04] Kawanami**
P-Protect!
**[19:10] Miwa**
There it is! Dragonic Overlord's chain attack!
**[19:15] Kamui**
I see! He was waiting for
this formation to fall into place!
**[19:19] Aichi**
This is the Kai we know!
**[19:21] Kawanami**
S-Stay back! Stay back!
**[19:28] Kai**
It's my turn now.
**[19:34] Kai**
Take this!
**[19:37] Kawanami**
It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!
**[19:39] Kawanami**
It hurts! It hurts! It hurts...
**[19:45] Kai**
It isn't over yet.
**[19:51] Kawanami**
Just 1 more damage...
**[19:53] Kai**
Imagine it.
**[19:55] Kai**
Imagine yourself
perishing miserably on the planet Cray.
**[20:07] Kai**
Are you ready?
**[20:12] Kai**
This is the end!
**[20:14] Kawanami**
I...
**[20:15] Kawanami**
I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die!
**[20:17] Kawanami**
I'm really actually gonna die!
**[20:24] Miwa**
He ran away!
**[20:27] Kawanami**
Outta my way!
**[20:29] Misaki**
Wait!
**[20:31] Kamui**
Team Asteroid ran away...!
**[20:34] Kai**
That's all Team Asteroid amounts to, in the end.
**[20:39] Kai**
When they seem about to lose,
they drop their own rules and run.
**[20:43] Kai**
They aren't worth fighting.
**[20:45] Kai**
I'll only say this once.
**[20:48] Kai**
Don't ever get mixed up
with Team Asteroid again.
**[20:54] Miwa**
H-Hey! Kai!
**[20:58] Aichi**
Ow...
**[21:00] Kamui**
"Don't get mixed up with Team Asteroid," huh?
**[21:02] Aichi**
But isn't "Team Asteroid"
more than just those guys?
**[21:07] Aichi**
Other members may come here.
**[21:09] Aichi**
Or go to other shops...
**[21:24] Kyou**
So this is Voyage.
**[21:26] Kyou**
The shop where Asia Circuit's
second-place fighter hangs out...
**[21:31] Kyou**
Let's go.
**[21:32] Kyou**
Starting today, this place...
**[21:34] Kyou**
...will belong to Team Asteroid.
**[23:10] Asteroids**
Who we are is Team Asteroid!
**[23:13] Kawanami**
Dwelling-in-shadows Team Asteroid!
**[23:16] Kawanami**
Shop-taking-over Team Asteroid!
**[23:19] Asteroids**
"Winners get all! Losers get lost!"
**[23:22] Asteroids**
That's the motto of Team Asteroid!
**[23:25] Asteroids**
You are who...?
**[23:26] Kawanami**
I am who...?
**[23:27] Asteroids**
Who we are is Team Asteroid!
**[23:30] Asteroids**
VF gloves are super cool!
**[23:33] Kawanami**
Though they sometimes give you
electric shocks until you pass out.

Dratted boots...

Where are Aichi and Kamui?

Kamui! What's gotten into you?
**[00:20] Kamui**
It's what you said, Brother Aichi!
**[00:24] Aichi**
But isn't "Team Asteroid"

**[00:28] Aichi**
Other members may come here.
**[00:31] Aichi**
Or go to other shops...
**[00:34] Kamui**
Those "other shops" must include...
**[00:37] Aichi**
Voyage!
**[00:45] Kyou**
Who's the strongest fighter at this shop?
**[00:53] Aichi**
Vanguard.
**[00:54] Aichi**
It's a card game in which you yourself
become the vanguard and fight!
**[00:59] Kai**
Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!

Leave her alone!

Ohh, Kamui!
**[03:54] Nagisa**
What'll we do, Kamui?
**[03:56] Kamui**
Don't worry, Nagisa.
**[03:58] Kamui**
Hate to break it to ya, but Gouki
ain't this shop's strongest fighter!
**[04:04] Kamui**
It's me!
**[04:08] Lackey A**
You're stronger than Gouki Daimonji?
**[04:11] Lackey B**
Don't lie to us.
**[04:13] Kamui**
I ain't lying!
**[04:15] Kamui**
I defeated Gouki!
**[04:17] Kamui**
Right, Nagisa?
**[04:18] Nagisa**
Y-Yeah.
**[04:23] Aichi**
Kamui...
**[04:25] Kamui**
So if you want Voyage,
you've gotta beat me first!
**[04:32] Lackey A**
He thinks he can beat us.
**[04:35] Lackey B**
Ooh, I'm shakin' in my boots!
**[04:39] Kyou**
Fine. I'll fight you, boy.
**[04:42] Kamui**
If I win, you guys gotta leave Voyage!
**[04:46] Kyou**
For Team Asteroid,
the results of a fight mean everything.
**[04:50] Kyou**
We'll obey what the winner says.
**[04:52] The Two**
Winners get all! Losers get lost!
**[04:55] Kyou**
However...
**[04:56] Kyou**
...as a condition of the fight,
you have to wear these VF gloves.
**[05:08] Kamui**
Got it.
**[05:14] Lackey A**
Hey, don't ya know what those gloves do?
**[05:17] Kamui**
Yeah, I know!
**[05:19] Lackey B**
Is that so? Real scary, ain't they?
**[05:36] Aichi**
Kamui! Don't do it!
**[05:38] Kamui**
Even Team Asteroid can lose...
**[05:42] Kai**
This is the end!
**[05:44] Kawanami**
I...
**[05:45] Kawanami**
I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die!
**[05:47] Kawanami**
I'm really actually gonna die!

And now I'm gonna surpass
my old self by beating him!
**[06:21] Kyou**
Your old self?
**[06:23] Kamui**
Yeah. You jerks took over
the shop I used to go to.
**[06:28] Kamui**
It was all my fault, for being weak.
**[06:31] Kamui**
But today, I'm gonna get my revenge for that!
**[06:33] Kyou**
Unfortunately for you, boy,
we don't care to remember the weak.
**[06:39] Kamui**
Then I'll make sure you won't forget me again!
**[06:42] Kamui**
I'm the Great Kamui Katsuragi!
**[06:46] Kyou**
I'm Kyou Yahagi, a member of AL4.
**[06:51] Kamui**
AL4?
**[06:53] Lackey A**
Short for "Apex Limited 4,"
the four strongest members of Team Asteroid.
**[06:58] Lackey B**
Normally, a brat like you would never
get the chance to fight one of them.
**[07:03] Kamui**
What's that got to do with anything?! Let's go!

**[10:49] Kyou**
Critical trigger!
**[10:51] Kyou**
I give all of the effects to Million Rat!
**[10:55] Kyou**
My Million Rat attacks your Vanguard!
**[11:05] Nagisa**
Ohh, sweet Kamui!
**[11:07] Kamui**
Like I said, nothing to worry about!
**[11:10] Gouki**
Seems this isn't the first time
Kamui's fought this guy. Given that...
**[11:16] Gouki**
...he oughta know all about the sneaky
fightin' style of the guy's clan, Murakumo.
**[11:22] Gouki**
But...
**[11:36] Kamui**
Stand and draw!
**[11:43] Kamui**
The Great Kamui rides!
**[11:53] Kamui**
Perfect Raizer!
**[11:56] Kamui**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[12:00] Kamui**
Come out, Burstraizer!
**[12:06] Kamui**
Ready, Raizers?!
**[12:08] Kamui**
Go!
**[12:21] Kyou**
Stealth Beast, Moon Edge!
**[12:27] Kamui**
Get 'im!
**[12:30] Kyou**
Stealth Rogue of Silence, Shijimamaru!
**[12:37] Kamui**
Not bad. But...
**[12:39] Kamui**
...can you block this?!
**[12:41] Kamui**
Raizer Crush!
**[12:46] Nagisa**
Now the jerk has 4 damage!
**[12:49] Kamui**
Oh, but I ain't done attacking yet!
**[12:53] Aichi**
With the skills of Perfect
Raizer and Burstraizer,
**[12:57] Aichi**
three of Kamui's units have been stood back up!
**[13:08] Nagisa**
Go for seven attacks!
**[13:12] Kamui**
Burstraizer attacks!
**[13:17] Kyou**
Million Rat!
**[13:18] Kamui**
You oughta worry more about yourself!
**[13:26] Kamui**
Even with these gloves on,
this is still a Vanguard fight!
**[13:30] Kamui**
I'll keep the pressure up till I win!
**[13:33] Kamui**
Hi-powered Raizer Custom
attacks your Vanguard!
**[13:40] Kamui**
This move will...
**[13:41] Kamui**
...finish him off!
**[13:44] Kyou**
Shijimamaru!
**[13:51] Aichi**
So close, Kamui!
**[13:53] Nagisa**
But still, that got him to 5 damage.
**[13:58] Kamui**
What's so funny?
**[14:00] Kyou**
The fact that you couldn't
finish me off with that attack
**[14:03] Kyou**
shows just how far short you fall as a fighter.
**[14:07] Kamui**
What?!
**[14:09] Kyou**
Sorry, but playtime is over now, boy.
**[14:14] Gouki**
Kamui!
**[14:17] Kyou**
It's my turn!
**[14:18] Kyou**
I ride!
**[14:24] Kyou**
Dueling Dragon, ZANBAKU!
**[14:30] Kyou**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[14:36] Kyou**
Come to me!
**[14:37] Kyou**
Twin Swordsman, MUSASHI!
**[14:39] Musashi**
MUSASHI!
**[14:41] Kyou**
You're up next...
**[14:44] Kyou**
...Left Arrester!
**[14:46] Kyou**
On top of that, ZANBAKU's skill activates!
**[14:49] Kyou**
Counterblast! Soulblast!
**[14:52] Kyou**
I superior call Right Arrester!
**[14:55] Kyou**
ZANBAKU gets +5000 power!
**[14:59] Kamui**
So you've lined up
four units in the front row?
**[15:01] Kamui**
Just as I figured!
**[15:03] Kamui**
Bring it on!
**[15:05] Gouki**
Kamui!
**[15:06] Kamui**
Yeah, Gouki?
**[15:12] Kamui**
Wh-What's wrong with you two?
**[15:15] Gouki**
ZANBAKU's skill is--
**[15:16] Kyou**
Furthermore!
**[15:19] Kamui**
Isn't this... a collar?!
**[15:21] Kyou**
That's right!
**[15:23] Kyou**
But that's not all.
**[15:28] Kamui**
I can't move!
**[15:30] Kamui**
What's going on here?!
**[15:33] Kyou**
With the skills of Dueling Dragon, ZANBAKU,
Right Arrester and Left Arrester,
**[15:40] Kyou**
I've kept you from riding other units,
**[15:42] Kyou**
or even standing, until after your next turn.
**[15:47] Aichi**
Wh-What?!
**[15:48] Kamui**
That's nuts!
**[15:49] Nagisa**
That's how he took out Bro!
**[15:52] Gouki**
That's what makes his deck so scary!
**[15:57] Kyou**
Well? Ready to surrender yet?
**[16:00] Kamui**
N-No!
**[16:01] Kyou**
Then here I come!
**[16:03] Kyou**
I attack your Burstraizer in the Accel Circle!
**[16:06] Kyou**
Sic 'im!
**[16:07] Kamui**
I ain't letting you by! Intercept!
**[16:12] Lackey B**
Why'd he use one Burstraizer to block
an attack against another Burstraizer?
**[16:17] Lackey A**
Didn't you notice?
**[16:19] Lackey A**
The Burstraizer in the Accel Circle
**[16:21] Lackey A**
was gonna have 19,000 power on his next turn!
**[16:26] Lackey B**
"His next turn"?
You mean he hasn't given up yet?!
**[16:31] Kyou**
Keep quiet.
**[16:34] Kyou**
I attack your Vanguard.
**[16:36] Kyou**
None can escape my sword!
**[16:39] Kyou**
Drive check!
**[16:40] Lackey A**
Boom! A critical trigger!
**[16:42] Kyou**
I give the power to Twin Swordsman, MUSASHI,
**[16:44] Kyou**
and the effect to my Vanguard!
**[16:46] Kyou**
Second check!
**[16:48] Lackey B**
This time he got a front trigger!
***SIGN*** Brutal Binding Slash
**[16:57] Kyou**
Brutal Binding Slash!
**[17:00] Kamui**
Damage check!
**[17:03] Kamui**
No trigger!
**[17:06] Kamui**
Second check!
**[17:08] Kamui**
I got a front trigger, too!
**[17:14] Kyou**
But this puts you at 5 damage.
**[17:22] Kyou**
I'm not done yet!
**[17:25] Kamui**
Perfect guard!
**[17:27] Kamui**
Twin Blader!
**[17:32] Kyou**
You can't guard against
MUSASHI's attack with just one unit!
**[17:42] Kamui**
Asura Kaiser!
**[17:45] Lackey B**
You made him waste an Asura Kaiser.
**[17:49] Kyou**
I told you guys to keep quiet.
**[17:53] Kyou**
Left Arrester attacks your Vanguard!
**[17:55] Kyou**
Soulblast!
**[17:58] Kyou**
Million Rat boosts!
**[18:02] Kamui**
Turboraizer!
**[18:14] Kamui**
See that? I pulled through.
**[18:17] Kyou**
My turn is over.
**[18:18] Kyou**
Trouble is, your Perfect Raizer
still can't do anything!
**[18:26] Aichi**
Kamui...
**[18:31] Kamui**
This guy's way stronger than he used to be.
**[18:35] Kamui**
But still...
**[18:39] Kamui**
This time, I'm gonna beat you
and surpass my old self!
**[18:44] Kyou**
Come on, already! It's your turn!
**[18:50] Kamui**
Damage check...
**[18:54] Kamui**
No trigger...
**[19:11] Kyou**
I win!
**[19:16] Aichi**
Kamui!
**[19:17] Nagisa**
Kamui!
**[19:20] Kamui**
Brother Aichi... I lost...
**[19:24] Kamui**
It's so frustrating...
**[19:28] Nagisa**
Kamui!
**[19:30] Kyou**
That was weak!
**[19:32] Kyou**
Both the deck and the fighter
were way too weak!
**[19:35] Kyou**
He had some nerve challenging
a member of Team Asteroid at his level.
**[19:40] Kyou**
This weakling's deck is worthless!
**[19:51] Gouki**
That scumbag!
**[19:54] Regular**
Gouki!
**[19:56] Nagisa**
How dare you scatter Kamui's cards!
**[19:59] Lackey A**
Young lady...
**[20:01] Lackey A**
I wouldn't touch
that wimp's cards if I were you.
**[20:05] Lackey B**
Yeah, his weakness might rub off on ya.
**[20:08] Nagisa**
My Kamui is not weak!
**[20:10] Lackey A**
Then why did he lose?
**[20:16] Nagisa**
My Kamui is not weak...
**[20:20] Nagisa**
Aichi...?
**[20:21] Aichi**
You don't have to pick up Kamui's cards.
**[20:26] Aichi**
That's your job.
**[20:28] Kyou**
Huh?
**[20:29] Nagisa**
You're going to pick up Kamui's cards.
**[20:35] Kyou**
Sure. I'll do whatever you ask.
**[20:41] Kyou**
I'll pick up the cards,
**[20:43] Kyou**
and I'll even leave this shop, if you like.
**[20:46] Kyou**
However, I'll only do that if you beat me!
**[20:58] Kamui**
Brother Aichi...
**[21:00] Aichi**
I'll be fine. Don't worry.
**[21:03] Nagisa**
You should rest, sweet Kamui.
**[21:07] Gouki**
You're really gonna do it?
**[21:09] Aichi**
Yes.
**[21:17] Aichi**
Okay, let's get started.
**[21:19] Kyou**
What a great feeling.
**[21:21] Kyou**
Beating challengers
burning with vengeance...
**[21:25] Kyou**
..and driving them to despair
is the best thing ever!
**[21:35] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[23:10] Nagisa**
Sweet Kamui, thank you
for fighting for my sake!
**[23:13] Kamui**
C'mon! I didn't do it for you!
**[23:16] Nagisa**
You did too! I could tell!
**[23:18] Kamui**
Hey! Get offa me!
**[23:20] Kamui**
I've gotta go cheer on Brother Aichi!
**[23:24] Nagisa**
Kamui...
**[23:25] Kamui**
Wh-What?!
**[23:26] Nagisa**
Why do you call Aichi "Brother"?
**[23:30] Nagisa**
Is there some meaning behind that?
**[23:32] Kamui**
Th-There's no deep meaning to it, really!

What a great feeling.
**[00:06] Kyou**
Beating challengers

**[00:13] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[00:18] Aichi**
Vanguard.
**[00:19] Aichi**
It's a card game in which you yourself
become the vanguard and fight!
**[00:24] Kai**
Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!
***SIGN*** Image 14 Awaken!! PSYqualia
**[02:15] Gouki**
Is it really okay to be
entrustin' him with this?
**[02:18] Kamui**
You saw it for yourself, Gouki.
**[02:22] Kamui**
Brother Aichi...
**[02:24] Kamui**
...came within a hair of beating Leon,
the Asia Circuit champion!
**[02:29] Gouki**
Yeah, I know, but...
**[02:33] Gouki**
...how's he gonna deal with that
Dueling Dragon, ZANBAKU combo?
**[02:38] Kamui**
Brother Aichi can do it...
**[02:41] Kamui**
I just know it...
**[02:44] Kyou**
I attack your Vanguard
with Stealth Beast, Million Rat.
**[02:48] Aichi**
No guard.
**[02:54] Lackey A**
Hurt bad enough to give ya
second thoughts about this fight?
**[02:57] Lackey B**
Too bad, 'cause you can't surrender mid-match.
**[03:02] Aichi**
So this is the pain Kamui and Kai experienced.
**[03:07] Aichi**
And yet, it feels like...
**[03:10] Kyou**
My turn is over.
**[03:12] Kyou**
It's your turn now.
**[03:17] Aichi**
Stand up, my avatar!
**[03:21] Aichi**
From the military force of planet Cray's
**[03:23] Aichi**
hallowed nation of United Sanctuary,
**[03:25] Aichi**
Royal Paladin's Sword of Light!
**[03:28] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[03:32] Kyou**
What?!
**[03:33] Kyou**
He's got a rare card like Blaster Blade?!
**[03:41] Aichi**
Let's go, everyone!
**[03:49] Kyou**
Stealth Rogue of Silence, Shijimamaru!
**[03:52] Kyou**
It reminds me...
**[03:54] Kyou**
...of HIS deck!
**[04:13] Kyou**
You really are strong, Ren.
**[04:16] Ren**
Hey, Tetsu...
**[04:18] Ren**
Play me next.
**[04:19] Tetsu**
Sorry, but I'm a little busy here.
**[04:23] Ren**
Then, Asaka...
**[04:24] Asaka**
Sorry, I'm busy too.
**[04:28] Kyou**
U-Um, Ren!
**[04:29] Ren**
Mm?
**[04:31] Ren**
What is it, boy?
**[04:32] Kyou**
"Boy"?
**[04:35] Kyou**
F-Fight me one more...
**[04:37] Ren**
Asaka! I'll lend a hand.
**[04:41] Kyou**
And I finally made it into AL4...
**[04:44] Tetsu**
"Boy," huh?
**[04:47] Kyou**
Tetsu...?
**[04:48] Tetsu**
Our head and apex of Team Asteroid,
**[04:51] Tetsu**
Ren Suzugamori, has yet
to remember your name, Kyou.
**[04:57] Tetsu**
You may be one of the big guns,
right behind Ren, me, and Asaka.
**[05:02] Tetsu**
But as things stand,
Ren does not yet recognize your skill.
**[05:12] Kyou**
Ren Suzugamori...
**[05:15] Kyou**
I won't let you look down on me!
**[05:19] Kyou**
I'm done playing around!
**[05:22] Kyou**
I ride Swift Archer, FUSHIMI!
**[05:26] Kyou**
Broken Arrow!
**[05:33] Kamui**
That's 3 damage!
**[05:35] Kyou**
I'm not done yet!
**[05:39] Aichi**
Thank you, Gallatin!
**[05:40] Gallatin**
No problem.
**[05:43] Kyou**
Go on, it's your turn.
**[05:46] Gouki**
It feels like he's in a hurry.
**[05:50] Gouki**
What happened?
**[05:51] Kamui**
I dunno, but after he saw Blaster Blade,
**[05:54] Kamui**
it was like he suddenly hated Brother Aichi.
**[06:00] Aichi**
For now, I'll retire his Left Arrester
**[06:03] Aichi**
and do my best to avoid his
Dueling Dragon, ZANBAKU's combo.
**[06:06] Aichi**
I ride!
**[06:12] Aichi**
Come to me now, leader of light!
**[06:15] Aichi**
Prince of Royal Paladin!
**[06:19] Aichi**
Alfred Early!
**[06:27] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[06:37] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[06:42] Blaster**
Burst Buster!
**[06:47] Kyou**
Tch!
**[06:48] Aichi**
Pongal!
**[06:51] Aichi**
Akane! I'm counting on you!
**[06:53] Akane**
Yes, sir!
**[06:57] Kyou**
Stealth Beast, Moon Edge!
**[07:01] Akane**
Shoot!
**[07:02] Aichi**
Leave it to me!
**[07:09] Gouki**
Now that guy's got 4 damage!
**[07:11] Kamui**
Even better, his Left Arrester's gone now!
**[07:17] Kyou**
You think you can overtake me
with that level of play?
**[07:21] Kyou**
Stand and draw!
**[07:28] Kyou**
Don't you dare look down on me!
**[07:31] Kyou**
I ride!
**[07:35] Kyou**
Dueling Dragon, ZANBAKU!
**[07:38] Kyou**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[07:46] Kyou**
Twin Swordsman, MUSASHI!
**[07:47] Kyou**
Come to me, Shijimamaru! Left Arrester!
**[07:52] Aichi**
Another Left Arrester...
**[07:55] Kyou**
ZANBAKU's skill activates!
**[07:57] Kyou**
Counterblast!
**[07:58] Kyou**
Soulblast!
**[08:00] Kyou**
I superior call Right Arrester!
**[08:03] Kyou**
Right Arrester's skill activates!
**[08:10] Kamui**
Now Brother Aichi can't ride any other units.
**[08:15] Gouki**
He can't stand himself
during his next turn, either!
**[08:18] Kyou**
Exactly! There's nothing you can do about it!
**[08:23] Kyou**
Sic 'im!
**[08:25] Aichi**
Wingal!
**[08:28] Kyou**
Not bad.
**[08:29] Kyou**
But none can escape my sword!
**[08:34] Kyou**
Drive check!
**[08:36] Kyou**
I got a critical trigger!
**[08:39] Kyou**
I give the power to Left Arrester,
**[08:41] Kyou**
and the critical to my Vanguard!
**[08:43] Kyou**
Second check!
**[08:46] Kyou**
I got a front trigger!
**[08:48] Kamui**
A double trigger?!
**[08:52] Kyou**
Brutal Binding Slash!
**[09:10] Nagisa**
5 damage!
**[09:12] Gouki**
His back's against the wall!
**[09:14] Kyou**
Onward!
**[09:17] Aichi**
Epona! Flogal!
**[09:21] Kyou**
You too, MUSASHI!
**[09:26] Aichi**
Perfect guard with Flash Shield, Iseult!
**[09:30] Kamui**
But MUSASHI's attack can't be
blocked with just one unit!
**[09:41] Lackey A**
Aw, looks like his hand's empty!
**[09:46] Kyou**
All right, your turn! Let's see you squirm!
**[09:52] Aichi**
My Alfred Early can't stand.
**[09:55] Aichi**
Moreover, I can't ride any other units.
**[10:02] Aichi**
The image I had of this fight is fading...
**[10:06] Aichi**
I'm sorry, Kamui and Gouki...
**[10:11] Aichi**
I'm not strong enough to win this.
**[10:14] Blaster**
My Vanguard...
**[10:17] Blaster**
My Vanguard.
**[10:18] Aichi**
I hear a voice.
**[10:22] Aichi**
Who's there?
**[10:27] Blaster**
My Vanguard.
**[10:29] Aichi**
Blaster Blade...
**[10:33] Aichi**
Was that you?
**[10:53] Kyou**
Why're you just standing there?!
**[10:55] Kyou**
You don't get to quit during a match!
**[10:57] Kyou**
You'll suffer through that
VF glove damage to the very end!
**[11:05] Aichi**
That was an odd sensation...
**[11:07] Aichi**
What could it have been?
**[11:10] Kyou**
Hey!
**[11:11] Kyou**
Done with your turn?
**[11:15] Aichi**
There's nothing more I can do...
**[11:22] Aichi**
His cards...
**[11:25] Kyou**
This weakling's deck is worthless!
**[11:46] Aichi**
I can't give up.
**[11:48] Aichi**
Imagine it.
**[11:50] Aichi**
Imagine the possibilities!
**[11:52] Kyou**
Why bother mulling over it?
You can't do anything.
**[12:15] Aichi**
There it is again. That feeling...
**[12:18] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[12:34] Aichi**
Blaster Blade wants to tell me something.
**[12:38] Blaster**
Call.
**[12:39] Aichi**
Huh?
**[12:40] Blaster**
Call!
**[12:47] Aichi**
Okay, got it.
**[12:54] Kyou**
Knock it off!
**[12:56] Kyou**
There's nothing you can do here!
**[12:59] Kyou**
Just let me take my turn
so I can finish the fight!
**[13:03] Aichi**
Draw.
**[13:06] Aichi**
I call...
**[13:07] Aichi**
Sage of Guidance, Zenon.
**[13:13] Kyou**
Sage of Guidance, Zenon?!
**[13:17] Kamui**
He's got that?!
**[13:18] Nagisa**
Huh?
**[13:20] Gouki**
Upon calling that unit from your hand,
**[13:22] Gouki**
you can check the top card of your deck,
**[13:25] Gouki**
and If it's the same grade as your Vanguard,
**[13:27] Gouki**
you can ride it!
**[13:29] Kyou**
Tch!
**[13:31] Kyou**
A unit that triggers a superior ride,
the only way to counter ZANBAKU...
**[13:36] Lackey A**
No way he'd pull that off...
**[13:37] Lackey B**
He ain't that lucky!
**[13:40] Kyou**
Shut your traps!
**[13:49] Kamui**
Please, God!
**[13:57] Aichi**
Thank you, Blaster Blade.
**[14:00] Kyou**
I-It can't be!
**[14:02] Kyou**
He drew a grade 3?!
**[14:06] Aichi**
Come to me!
**[14:08] Zenon**
Guided by a sage's wisdom,
**[14:10] Zenon**
now descends the hero of light...
**[14:15] Aichi**
Dispelling the dark clouds
that obstruct the way to hope!
**[14:18] Aichi**
Dragon of sacred light!
**[14:41] Aichi**
I superior ride...
**[14:44] Aichi**
Soul Saver Dragon!
**[14:56] Kyou**
H-How could this happen?
**[14:58] Kyou**
It's not just his deck that reminds me of HIM!
**[15:02] Kyou**
He even predicts the flow of the fight!
**[15:06] Kyou**
Is he just like HIM?!
**[15:08] Kyou**
Does he even have the same ability
as Ren Suzugamori?!
**[15:12] Kyou**
PSYqualia?!
**[15:16] Blaster**
My Vanguard.
**[15:22] Blaster**
Let's go!
**[15:24] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[15:29] Kamui**
Now Soul Saver Dragon's power is 23,000!
**[15:33] Gouki**
That's not all.
**[15:34] Gouki**
With Soul Saver Dragon's skill...
**[15:37] Aichi**
Holy Charging Roar!
**[15:42] Gouki**
...all of his units get +15,000 power!
**[15:55] Kyou**
Wh-What?!
**[16:06] Lackey A**
5 damage?!
**[16:07] Lackey B**
No way...
**[16:08] Aichi**
Pongal boosts!
**[16:11] Aichi**
Soul Saver Dragon attacks!
**[16:14] Aichi**
Shining Feather Saver!
**[16:37] Kyou**
I... lost...
**[16:41] Aichi**
I... I won...
**[16:46] All**
All right!
**[16:48] Aichi**
I won, Kamui!
**[16:50] Kamui**
I knew you could do it, Brother Aichi!
**[16:53] Gouki**
Now Voyage is safe.
**[16:56] Nagisa**
We'll definitely invite him
to our wedding, right, Kamui?!
**[17:00] Kamui**
We are not getting married!
**[17:02] Nagisa**
Everyone will celebrate!
**[17:02] Kamui**
H-Hey!
**[17:03] Kamui**
Leggo of me, Nagisa!
**[17:05] Nagisa**
We'll be so happy, sweet Kamui!
**[17:07] Kamui**
I said, let go!
**[17:10] Aichi**
Thank you, Blaster Blade.
**[17:19] Aichi**
If I hadn't heard your voice,
**[17:22] Aichi**
I wouldn't have won.
**[17:30] Leon**
You felt it, didn't you?
**[17:33] Leon**
The wind that blows on the planet Cray.
**[17:37] Aichi**
So this is what Leon was talking about.
**[17:45] Aichi**
Th-Thank you for picking up the cards.
**[17:48] Kyou**
Shut up...
**[17:49] Kyou**
I'm only obeying the results of the match.
**[17:56] Kyou**
Here.
**[18:00] Kyou**
When you rode Soul Saver Dragon...
**[18:04] Aichi**
Was it the wind?
**[18:06] Kyou**
"The wind"? What are you talking about?
**[18:08] Aichi**
Uh...
**[18:09] Kyou**
At that moment,
did you hear the voices of the cards?
**[18:15] Blaster**
Call!
**[18:18] Aichi**
You mean the feeling that a unit
was speaking to me, in my head?
**[18:24] Kyou**
I knew it.
**[18:26] Aichi**
You know about that?
**[18:28] Kyou**
The power to hear the voices of the cards
and see what's going to happen in the fight...
**[18:35] Kyou**
PSYqualia.
**[18:37] Aichi**
"PSYqualia"?
**[18:39] Kyou**
Yeah. Our group's...
**[18:47] Lackey A**
You're not a member of
Team Asteroid anymore, much less AL4.
**[18:51] Lackey B**
That's right.
**[18:53] Lackey B**
Team Asteroid's one rule is,
"Winners get all! Losers get lost!"
**[18:57] Lackey A**
Which means...
**[18:58] Lackey A**
…whoever beats him…
**[19:00] Lackey A**
…will be the next AL4 member!
**[19:03] Lackey B**
Now, you’ll fight us!
**[19:08] Kamui**
Ya wanna fight Brother Aichi?
**[19:11] Gouki**
Then you've gotta beat us first.
**[19:16] Aichi**
Say, about "PSYqualia"...
**[19:28] Gouki**
Did you see the looks
on their faces when they lost?!
**[19:32] Nagisa**
They're not welcome here anymore.
**[19:34] Gouki**
Got that right.
**[19:37] Kamui**
Is something wrong?
**[19:39] Aichi**
The pain caused by the VF gloves...
**[19:43] Aichi**
Isn't it the same kind of pain
that a Vanguard feels?
**[19:46] Kamui**
Huh?
**[19:47] Gouki**
You could say that...
**[19:50] Aichi**
Maybe its purpose is to let us merge...
**[19:53] Aichi**
or I mean, to help us
harmonize with our Vanguards.
**[19:58] Gouki**
Huh?
**[19:59] Kamui**
You, me, and Gouki can
harmonize fine with our Vanguards,
**[20:03] Kamui**
even without that junk!
**[20:05] Aichi**
Y-Yeah, you're right.
**[20:09] Aichi**
But maybe...
**[20:11] Aichi**
...someone made these
because of their love of Vanguard.
**[20:21] Ren**
Hey, there.
**[20:22] Bidou**
I'm busy here.
**[20:27] Bidou**
R-Ren!
**[20:29] Ren**
Tetsu and Asaka aren't here.
Do you know where they are?
**[20:32] Bidou**
Y-Yeah, they left.
**[20:34] Bidou**
They went to go purge the guy
who lost a fight and ran away.
**[21:01] Kawanami**
A-Asaka!
**[21:10] Kawanami**
T-Tetsu!
**[21:12] Asaka**
To whom did you lose?
**[21:15] Asaka**
Answer me!
**[21:16] Kawanami**
S-Some guy who used Dragonic Overlord!
**[21:20] Kawanami**
"Kai"!
**[21:25] Asaka**
Kai... did use that unit...
**[21:29] Tetsu**
I had no idea he was in this town...
**[23:10] Kyou**
R-Ren!
**[23:12] Ren**
What's wrong, boy?
**[23:13] Kyou**
C-Could you not call me "boy"...?
**[23:15] Ren**
You're not a boy?
**[23:16] Ren**
So you're a girl?
**[23:18] Ren**
Sorry, I kept thinking you were a boy!
**[23:20] Kyou**
N-No way, I'm--
**[23:21] Ren**
That's why! The way you talk
makes you sound like a boy!
**[23:25] Ren**
Well, that's fine, you do you.
**[23:27] Ren**
Still, your attire's a bit... I know!
**[23:30] Kyou**
Where are you going?
**[23:31] Ren**
Wait right here.
**[23:32] Ren**
One of Asaka's outfits
should look great on you!

**[00:02] Shin**
I see.
**[00:04] Shin**
So all that happened while I was away...
**[00:08] Shin**
But I'm glad Kai was here.
**[00:10] Misaki**
Yeah. He's the reason I was able
to ban those guys from the shop.
**[00:14] Shin**
Well, thanks for handling it.
**[00:17] Shin**
Shall we open for the day?
**[00:20] Shin**
As always, I appreciate your help.
**[00:27] Misaki**
It's you!
**[00:31] Miwa**
Yo.
**[00:32] Misaki**
Miwa...
**[00:35] Aichi**
Vanguard.
**[00:36] Aichi**
It's a card game in which you yourself
become the vanguard and fight!
**[00:41] Kai**
Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!
**[02:20] Miwa**
Well, I kinda woke up way too early today...
**[02:24] Miwa**
And since I had nothing else to do,
I figured I'd drop by here.
**[02:28] Misaki**
Hmph.
**[02:33] Kai**
I'll only say this once.
**[02:36] Kai**
Don't ever get mixed up
with Team Asteroid again.
**[02:39] Miwa**
He didn't say anything more
to me about it afterwards,
**[02:43] Miwa**
but I just knew it.
**[02:46] Miwa**
Team Asteroid must be the group
Kai used to run with, back then.
**[02:51] Miwa**
I won't let them get near Kai again.
**[02:55] Miwa**
I'll beat 'em at their own game.
***SIGN*** Image 15 FRIEND
**[03:09] Young Kai**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[03:09] Young Miwa**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[03:14] Miwa**
I'm not quite sure
when we first became pals.
**[03:17] Miwa**
We'd just been having fun playing together.
**[03:22] Young Miwa**
I always win at other games...
**[03:24] Young Miwa**
What am I missing with this one?
**[03:26] Young Kai**
Well, if you insist...
**[03:28] Young Kai**
I'll explain the secret.
**[03:30] Young Kai**
Imagine yourself being stronger.
**[03:34] Young Kai**
My imagination is how I got so strong!
**[03:37] Young Miwa**
That's not much of an explanation.
**[03:40] Young Kai**
You'll never win against me
if you can't understand that.
**[03:44] Young Miwa**
I just can't! But still...
**[03:47] Young Miwa**
...let's fight again tomorrow, after school!
**[03:50] Young Kai**
I'll just beat you again.
**[03:53] Young Miwa**
You jerk!
**[03:55] Young Miwa**
I'll get you...!
**[03:58] Miwa**
I assumed the next day
would be the same as this one.
**[04:02] Miwa**
But then...
**[04:04] Teacher**
I have an unfortunate announcement.
**[04:08] Teacher**
For family reasons,
Toshiki Kai has moved away.
**[04:14] Teacher**
Miwa!
**[04:17] Young Miwa**
Why?!
**[04:19] Young Miwa**
Why didn't he tell me?!
**[04:22] Young Miwa**
We made a promise!
**[04:24] Young Miwa**
A promise to fight again today!
**[04:27] Young Miwa**
Didn't we, Kai?!
**[04:31] Miwa**
I couldn't even visit him,
since I didn't know his new address.
**[04:43] Miwa**
It hurt so much just thinking about Kai,
**[04:45] Miwa**
I couldn't even get into Vanguard anymore.
**[04:50] Miwa**
All I could do was get through each day.
**[04:56] Girl B**
Right?!
**[04:56] Girl A**
He's just so cool!
**[04:59] Miwa**
Hey, do you mean me?!
**[05:02] Miwa**
You sounded excited!
What were you talking about?
**[05:07] Girl B**
We're going to go watch a super cool fighter.
**[05:10] Miwa**
"Fighter"? Like in Vanguard?
**[05:13] Girl B**
Yeah. Do you play, too?
**[05:17] Miwa**
Well, I used to...
**[05:19] Miwa**
This sounds like fun! Take me with you!
**[05:25] Miwa**
Wow, what a crowd!
**[05:27] Miwa**
What kind of guy is...
**[05:32] Miwa**
Kai! That's Kai!
**[05:34] Miwa**
Kai!
**[05:37] Miwa**
Who's that guy?
**[05:38] Girl B**
You don't know? That's Ren Suzugamori!
**[05:41] Girl B**
He's too cool!
**[05:43] Kai**
Who's next?
**[05:46] Miwa**
Sorry! Let me borrow this!
**[05:49] Miwa**
I'm next!
**[05:52] Miwa**
Long time no see, Kai.
**[05:56] Ren**
You know him?
**[06:00] Miwa**
I never thought I'd get to fight you again!
**[06:03] Miwa**
I was worried about you,
after you moved away so suddenly.
**[06:08] Miwa**
What're you up to these days?
**[06:09] Kai**
Stand and draw.
**[06:11] Miwa**
Huh?
**[06:12] Kai**
I ride!
**[06:13] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord!
**[06:15] Kai**
I attack your rear-guard!
**[06:17] Miwa**
H-Hey!
**[06:19] Kai**
Counterblast!
**[06:22] Kai**
I restand Dragonic Overlord!
**[06:25] Miwa**
Kai, what's wrong with you?
**[06:27] Miwa**
What happened?
**[06:29] Kai**
I attack your Vanguard.
**[06:34] Miwa**
Kai...
**[06:44] Kai**
I won again.
**[06:50] Ren**
No strong fighters here either, huh?
**[06:53] Ren**
Let's get going, Kai.
**[06:56] Kai**
Yeah.
**[06:58] Girl**
Hey...
**[07:04] Miwa**
It looked like something
was seriously bothering him,
**[07:09] Miwa**
but I couldn't do anything about it.
**[07:15] Miwa**
So when we were reunited at our high school
entrance ceremony, I made a vow to myself.
**[07:32] Miwa**
Kai!
**[07:39] Miwa**
To always be at his side, from then on.
**[08:04] Asaka**
What a tiny shop.
**[08:06] Miwa**
Whoa! What a babe!
**[08:09] Miwa**
Wanna fight with me, gorgeous?
**[08:18] Miwa**
You're...
**[08:24] Miwa**
I take that back.
**[08:26] Miwa**
Hit the road, Asteroid!
**[08:31] Asaka**
You hate me that much?
**[08:34] Asaka**
I haven't done anything yet.
**[08:42] Asaka**
Say, shopkeeper...
**[08:44] Asaka**
I hear a fighter named Toshiki Kai
hangs out at this place.
**[08:49] Miwa**
Hey, didn't you hear me?
**[08:51] Miwa**
And I especially don't like
you people asking about Kai.
**[08:56] Asaka**
Are you a friend of Toshiki Kai's?
**[08:58] Asaka**
That's perfect.
**[09:00] Asaka**
Where is--
**[09:01] Miwa**
If you wanna know, then fight me!
**[09:04] Miwa**
You're gonna lose, though.
**[09:06] Asaka**
That sounds like fun.
**[09:16] Misaki**
Wait, Miwa!
**[09:17] Misaki**
Fighting Team Asteroid...
**[09:19] Misaki**
Don't you know what that means?!
**[09:21] Miwa**
Aww, really, Misaki?
**[09:23] Miwa**
You're that worried about me?
**[09:26] Miwa**
I'm flattered!
**[09:27] Misaki**
This is no time for joking around!
**[09:29] Miwa**
Yeah, I know.
**[09:31] Miwa**
It means I have to fight wearing these.
**[09:33] Shin**
Wait!
**[09:35] Shin**
Miwa, as the manager of this shop,
**[09:39] Shin**
I have the authority
to halt this dangerous fight.
**[09:43] Miwa**
I appreciate the sentiment, Shin,
**[09:45] Miwa**
but both of us consented to the fight.
**[09:48] Miwa**
Could you look the other way, just this once?
**[09:53] Shin**
Very well.
**[09:55] Miwa**
Listen up.
**[09:56] Miwa**
If I win, you'll never come back to this shop.
**[09:59] Miwa**
And you'll leave Kai alone!
**[10:01] Asaka**
Fine by me.
**[10:02] Asaka**
On the other hand,
if I win, you'll show me...
**[10:06] Asaka**
...where to find Toshiki Kai.
**[10:08] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[10:12] Shin**
Her clan is Pale Moon,
**[10:14] Shin**
a dark circus that specializes in
using the Soul to create tricky plays.
**[10:19] Shin**
It should be an interesting fight, but...
**[10:22] Misaki**
Miwa...
**[10:50] Miwa**
Ride!
**[10:51] Miwa**
Rocket Hammer Man!
**[10:54] Miwa**
Pale Moon is a circus that conjures nightmares!
**[10:57] Miwa**
I won't let you commit your
evil deeds from the shadows anymore!
**[11:00] Asaka**
How childish.
**[11:03] Miwa**
Step up, Rocket Hammer Man!
**[11:07] Rocket**
Okay!
**[11:08] Rocket**
Igniting rocket!
**[11:19] Miwa**
That's the way!
**[11:20] Miwa**
I'll ignite mine, too!
**[11:23] Asaka**
How naive! Hoop Magician!
**[11:26] Hoop**
Leave it to me!
**[11:27] Miwa**
You're mine!
**[11:30] Hoop**
Hop in!
**[11:35] Miwa**
Ow!
**[11:37] Miwa**
You little...
**[11:43] Asaka**
How pathetic.
**[11:44] Miwa**
You're up there now?!
**[11:47] Asaka**
Ride!
**[11:52] Asaka**
Jumping Jill!
**[11:54] Miwa**
Sh-She disappeared!
**[11:55] Asaka**
Starting Presenter's skill when ridden...
**[12:01] Asaka**
Who's on today's playbill?
**[12:11] Miwa**
I'm not paying for this.
**[12:16] Asaka**
Now, on with the show!
**[12:26] Miwa**
Where is she?!
**[12:27] Asaka**
I'm over here!
**[12:31] Asaka**
Drive check!
**[12:33] Asaka**
Critical trigger!
**[12:35] Asaka**
I give the power to Nitro Juggler,
**[12:37] Asaka**
and the critical to my Vanguard!
**[12:45] Misaki**
Miwa!
**[12:46] Miwa**
Psych! I'm totally fine!
**[12:49] Misaki**
This is serious!
**[12:51] Miwa**
All right, all right...
**[12:54] Asaka**
Nitro Juggler.
**[12:55] Asaka**
Finish him!
**[12:58] Nitro**
Just watch me.
**[13:00] Nitro**
My, you look exhausted.
This'll get you moving.
**[13:04] Miwa**
That's very kind!
**[13:07] Miwa**
Wait, this stuff is...
**[13:12] Nitro**
Sucker!
**[13:16] Misaki**
4 damage, all at once...
**[13:19] Shin**
He's fallen for all of her tricks.
**[13:22] Shin**
Miwa, it's time to stand firm!
**[13:25] Miwa**
Darn it! Watch this!
**[13:28] Miwa**
Ride!
**[13:29] Miwa**
Boomerang Thrower!
**[13:32] Miwa**
Step up, Death Army Guy!
**[13:34] Guy**
Okay, boss!
**[13:35] Miwa**
Cat Butler!
**[13:36] Cat**
Always at your call, m'lord.
**[13:38] Miwa**
I'm counting on you!
**[13:40] Cat**
If I may have your assistance,
Rocket Hammer Man.
**[13:43] Rocket**
Okay! Igniting rocket!
**[13:51] Asaka**
What a hilarious show.
**[13:56] Cat**
Meoww!
**[14:00] Miwa**
Cat Butler!
**[14:02] Miwa**
Darn it! Help me out, Death Army Guy!
**[14:05] Guy**
Guy!
**[14:09] Miwa**
I'll handle this! Double Boomerang!
**[14:12] Asaka**
Hoop Magician!
**[14:13] Hoop**
Allow me!
**[14:17] Asaka**
Your attacks have no power against our magic.
**[14:22] Miwa**
Is that so? Cat Butler!
**[14:24] Cat**
M'lord.
**[14:27] Miwa**
This is well made.
**[14:29] Miwa**
Thank you. Take a nice break.
**[14:31] Cat**
Fare thee well, m'lord.
**[14:35] Miwa**
All right, one more time! Boomerang Shoot!
**[14:39] Miwa**
Drive check!
**[14:40] Miwa**
Draw trigger!
**[14:42] Miwa**
I give the power to my Vanguard,
**[14:44] Miwa**
and draw one card!
**[14:52] Miwa**
Don't expect your crummy tricks
to work on me forever!
**[14:56] Shin**
This is a great fight!
**[15:00] Shin**
Miwa's taken his share of damage,
**[15:02] Shin**
but thanks to that last trigger,
he's got plenty of cards in hand!
**[15:06] Shin**
Meanwhile, his opponent's used up
a lot of cards from her hand,
**[15:09] Shin**
but she's kept her damage to a minimum!
**[15:12] Shin**
What developments lie in store?!
I can't wait to find out, Misaki!
**[15:19] Shin**
Argh!
**[15:21] Misaki**
Don't enjoy a fight against Team Asteroid!
**[15:25] Asaka**
You're pretty good.
**[15:27] Asaka**
Although I don't believe
you're as good as Toshiki Kai...
**[15:30] Miwa**
But I've beaten somebody
who's beaten Kai before.
**[15:34] Shin**
Now that he mentions it...
**[15:37] Misaki**
I somewhat remember that...
**[15:39] Asaka**
You say Kai lost?
**[15:41] Asaka**
According to my leader,
**[15:43] Asaka**
Toshiki Kai was invincible,
the strongest fighter around.
**[15:48] Asaka**
Well, whatever...
**[15:49] Asaka**
I'll beat you and then verify that for myself!
**[15:52] Asaka**
Ride!
**[15:59] Asaka**
Golden Beast Tamer!
**[16:05] Asaka**
Imaginary Gift!
**[16:06] Asaka**
Accel!
**[16:09] Asaka**
Lend me a hand.
**[16:10] Asaka**
Nitro Juggler!
**[16:15] Asaka**
Nitro Juggler's skill!
**[16:18] Asaka**
We have another present for you.

Here you go.
**[16:22] Miwa**
No thank you!
**[16:23] Miwa**
Rocket Hammer Man!

Golden Beast Tamer attacks your Vanguard!
**[16:33] Asaka**
Skill activates!
**[16:35] Misaki**
She used up her entire hand!
**[16:37] Shin**
This must be the climax!
**[16:39] Asaka**
Here I go!
**[16:44] Asaka**
Now you'll get a ringside seat...
**[16:48] Asaka**
...for Pale Moon's grand finale!

I give all of the effects to my

**[17:12] Miwa**
Let me ask one thing.
**[17:14] Miwa**
What do you people want with Kai?
**[17:16] Asaka**
We'll present him to our leader.
**[17:18] Asaka**
Toshiki Kai is the only one
who can relieve our leader's boredom.
**[17:27] Miwa**
Relieve his boredom, you say?
**[17:30] Miwa**
Kai is not your toy!
**[17:33] Miwa**
Your Team Asteroid would
drag Kai back to the past.
**[17:36] Miwa**
That's why I won't let you see him again!
**[17:40] Miwa**
Right, Twin Blader?!
**[17:42] Twin**
That's right!
**[17:46] Asaka**
Our leader's orders are absolute.
**[17:48] Asaka**
Jumping Jill!
**[17:52] Miwa**
Critical trigger!
**[17:54] Miwa**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
**[18:00] Miwa**
That was nothing...
**[18:01] Miwa**
...compared to his pain!
**[18:04] Asaka**
Starting Presenter!
**[18:08] Miwa**
I'm gonna protect Kai!
**[18:10] Miwa**
Cup Bowler!
**[18:11] Cup**
Kendama Flame!
**[18:13] Misaki**
Miwa blocked it!
**[18:16] Shin**
You still have a chance, Miwa!
**[18:18] Miwa**
Right. Superheroes don't
lose to some evil circus!
**[18:26] Miwa**
Ride!
**[18:27] Miwa**
Asura Kaiser!
**[18:31] Miwa**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[18:35] Miwa**
Step up, Miss Splendor and Cup Bowler!
**[18:39] Miwa**
Let's go! This is our...
**[18:42] Miwa**
...hero showtime!
**[18:46] Cup**
Rocket Kendama Flame!
**[18:49] Miwa**
Miss Splendor's skill activates!
**[18:51] Shin**
Oh, a hero combo, huh?
**[18:55] Shin**
Raising Rocket Hammer Man's power
and preventing any intercepts.
**[18:59] Shin**
That should...
**[19:02] Miwa**
Great! Miss Splendor!
**[19:09] Miwa**
All glory must fade.
**[19:10] Miwa**
Evil is destined to fail eventually!
**[19:17] Asaka**
Pale Moon is eternal!
**[19:23] Miwa**
Twin drive!
**[19:24] Miwa**
First check!

Asura Kaiser's skill!
**[19:28] Miwa**
Miss Splendor restands!
**[19:30] Miwa**
+10,000 power with a Counterblast!
**[19:33] Miwa**
Second check!
**[19:35] Miwa**
Asura Kaiser's skill activates!
**[19:37] Miwa**
Cup Bowler restands!
**[19:40] Miwa**
Once more with the same skill!
**[19:44] Asaka**
"Winners get all! Losers get lost!"
**[19:47] Asaka**
I never let my prey escape.
**[19:49] Asaka**
That means you...
**[19:50] Asaka**
...as well as Toshiki Kai!
**[19:53] Miwa**
I'll also end that with this fight!
**[19:55] Miwa**
Cup Bowler!
**[19:56] Miwa**
Kendama Flame!
**[19:59] Asaka**
Damage check.
**[20:04] Asaka**
It appears luck is on my side.
**[20:09] Miwa**
Wha...?!
**[20:12] Misaki**
Front trigger...
**[20:16] Miwa**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[20:20] Asaka**
Guard.
**[20:22] Miwa**
Darn it!
**[20:24] Asaka**
You put on a fine performance, for an amateur.
**[20:28] Miwa**
Listen to me.
**[20:30] Miwa**
He doesn't see things the same way
Team Asteroid does now.
**[20:33] Miwa**
He's not gonna get mixed up
with you guys ever again.
**[20:37] Asaka**
How dishonorable for a hero!
**[20:39] Miwa**
This ain't about me!
**[20:41] Miwa**
Kai has...
**[20:43] Miwa**
...begun to change,
ever since his fight with Aichi.
**[20:48] Miwa**
The Kai you guys knew is gone!
**[20:53] Asaka**
Oh?
**[20:54] Asaka**
But if what you say is true,
**[20:57] Asaka**
Toshiki Kai is a traitor to
our leader, Ren Suzugamori!
**[21:02] Asaka**
Skill activates!
**[21:06] Asaka**
The Pale Moon circus show ends now.
**[21:10] Asaka**
Take a bow...
**[21:12] Asaka**
...for our lovely audience.
**[21:23] Shin**
Miwa!
**[21:27] Misaki**
Hang in there!
**[21:29] Misaki**
Are you okay?!
**[21:31] Miwa**
Misaki...
**[21:33] Miwa**
I'm sorry.
**[21:34] Miwa**
I lost...
**[23:10] Kawanami**
Heyo! I'm Kawanami, the Team Asteroid dog!
**[23:13] Kawanami**
As I wait for my master Ren,
one rival after another appears!
**[23:17] Kawanami**
Tosa Inu! Doberman!
Bulldog! Chihuahua!

Pomeranian!
Irish Red and White Setter!
**[23:23] Kawanami**
And then, my greatest enemy...
**[23:25] Kawanami**
The local dog catcher!
**[23:28] Kawanami**
I'll take 'em all on with my VF-gloved paws!

The Pale Moon circus show ends now.
**[00:05] Asaka**
Take a bow...
**[00:09] Shin**
Miwa!
**[00:14] Misaki**
Hang in there!
**[00:15] Misaki**
Are you okay?!
**[00:17] Miwa**
Misaki...
**[00:19] Miwa**
I'm sorry.
**[00:21] Miwa**
I lost...
**[00:27] Asaka**
It's too early for you to go beddy-bye.
**[00:31] Asaka**
Team Asteroid's rule is:
"Winners get all! Losers get lost!"
**[00:36] Asaka**
So, tell me:
**[00:38] Asaka**
Where is Toshiki Kai?
**[00:43] Misaki**
That won't be necessary.
**[00:48] Misaki**
If you claim that "winners get all,"
**[00:52] Misaki**
then since the Asteroid
who came by yesterday lost,
**[00:55] Misaki**
all of you are now banned from this shop!
**[00:58] Misaki**
You don't get to make us follow your demands.
**[01:01] Asaka**
Then what are we to do, shopkeeper?
**[01:04] Asaka**
Will you throw me out, by force?
**[01:06] Misaki**
I could do that...
**[01:08] Misaki**
...but I doubt it's enough to convince you!
**[01:14] Misaki**
So I'll settle this with a fight.
**[01:17] Asaka**
It appears you're no ordinary shopkeeper...
**[01:24] ---**
Vanguard.
**[01:25] ---**
It's a card game in which you yourself
become the vanguard and fight!
**[01:30] ---**
Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!

Nobody's here?
**[03:32] Ren**
What to do...
**[03:37] Shin**
Misaki...
**[03:38] Shin**
You don't have to wear the gloves too.
**[03:41] Misaki**
It has to be the same conditions as last time,
so they won't complain afterwards.
**[03:46] Asaka**
It appears you have plenty of courage.
**[03:48] Asaka**
Could it be that you're
out to avenge your boyfriend?
**[03:52] Misaki**
No!
**[03:53] Misaki**
I'm!
**[03:55] Misaki**
NOT!
**[03:56] Misaki**
That is not my boyfriend!
Not ever! Absolutely never!
**[03:59] Miwa**
You didn't have to be that strident about it...
**[04:02] Shin**
And he's dead again.
***SIGN*** Sub Manager
**[04:07] Misaki**
And I'd just finally grown to love Vanguard...
**[04:12] Misaki**
I won't tolerate people like you
promoting these so-called "serious fights"!
**[04:18] Asaka**
Such a pure heart. How adorable.
**[04:21] Asaka**
But we developed this fighting style
in the pursuit of Vanguard excellence.
**[04:28] Asaka**
I won't concede.
**[04:30] Both**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[04:33] Misaki**
I ride!
**[04:36] Misaki**
Lozenge Magus!
**[04:38] Asaka**
I ride!
**[04:41] Asaka**
Entertain Messenger!
**[04:49] Kamui**
Brother Aichi was so awesome yesterday!
**[04:53] Kamui**
The way he pulled off a victory
against a member of Team Asteroid's AL4!
**[05:00] Kamui**
That guy was so miffed about it.
Well, serves him right!
**[05:04] Kyou**
It's Kyou, not "that guy."
**[05:13] Kyou**
My name is Kyou Yahagi.
Don't you forget it, boy.
**[05:19] Kamui**
What're you doing here?!
**[05:21] Kyou**
I was looking for you.
**[05:23] Kamui**
For me? What d'you want?
**[05:27] Kyou**
I want you to take me someplace.
**[05:29] Kamui**
Me, take you someplace?
**[05:31] Kamui**
Like I'm about to help out
a member of Team Asteroid!
**[05:35] Kyou**
Sorry, but I'm not with Team Asteroid anymore.
**[05:39] Kyou**
I already left.
**[05:41] Kamui**
Huh?
**[05:42] Kyou**
I no longer consider you guys my enemies.
**[05:45] Kyou**
That's why I've got a proposal
with absolutely no downsides for you.
**[05:51] Kamui**
What kind of proposal?
**[05:53] Kyou**
If you guide me, then I'll tell you, boy.
**[06:03] Kamui**
Fine.
**[06:04] Kamui**
But first...
**[06:06] Kamui**
...I'm the Great Kamui Katsuragi!
Don't you forget that, either!
**[06:10] Misaki**
I ride Circle Magus!
**[06:15] Asaka**
I ride Standing Presenter!
**[06:19] Asaka**
The curtain rises on the Pale Moon Circus!
**[06:22] Asaka**
It's showtime!
**[06:27] Misaki**
No guard!
**[06:29] Asaka**
You do know what that means, don't you?
**[06:33] Misaki**
Of course!
**[06:37] Shin**
Misaki...
**[06:38] Misaki**
Damage check.
**[06:40] Misaki**
No trigger.
**[06:41] Misaki**
I place the card in the Damage Zone.
**[06:46] Asaka**
Oh my, I thought you were going to scream.
**[06:50] Asaka**
Didn't that hurt?
**[06:52] Misaki**
Since yesterday, I've witnessed
several fights that used these things.
**[06:57] Misaki**
That allows me to predict
the amount of pain they'd cause.
**[07:00] Misaki**
The pain means nothing to me
if it's within range of my predictions.
**[07:04] Miwa**
She's lying...
**[07:05] Miwa**
There's no way to avoid
feeling that level of pain.
**[07:08] Miwa**
She's enduring it so that
the enemy won't think of her as weak.
**[07:12] Miwa**
All to protect this shop!
**[07:20] Misaki**
Here I go!
**[07:21] Misaki**
Stand and draw!
**[07:37] Kai**
Imagine it.
**[07:39] Kai**
Imagine yourself
perishing miserably on the planet Cray.
**[07:42] Kawanami**
I'm gonna die!
**[07:43] Kawanami**
I'm really actually gonna die!
**[07:50] Kamui**
Team Asteroid ran away...!
**[07:53] Kai**
That's all Team Asteroid amounts to, in the end.
**[07:58] Kai**
I'll only say this once.
**[08:00] Kai**
Don't ever get mixed up
with Team Asteroid again.
**[08:06] Kai**
Don't ever get mixed up
with them again, huh?
**[08:11] Kai**
But even if I declare that,
it won't stop them...
**[08:19] Misaki**
I ride Promise Daughter!
**[08:24] Misaki**
You're up! Silent Tom and
Oracle Guardian, Gemini!
**[08:29] Misaki**
Let's go!
**[08:36] Miwa**
Yeah!
**[08:38] Asaka**
You're a big fat liar!
**[08:40] Misaki**
How so?
**[08:41] Asaka**
I anticipated the pain, but it still hurt!
**[08:43] Misaki**
You didn't anticipate enough.
**[08:46] Misaki**
Expect the next to hurt much more!
**[08:48] Misaki**
Silent Tom attacks!
**[08:52] Asaka**
I'll block with this!
**[08:55] Asaka**
Dynamite Juggler!
**[08:58] Asaka**
Between that boy, and now you, shopkeeper,
**[09:02] Asaka**
that's a nice set of fighters here.
You run a great card shop.
**[09:07] Shin**
Why, thank you!
**[09:11] Asaka**
But in the end, Team Asteroid will prevail.
**[09:21] Aichi**
Yesterday...
**[09:25] Aichi**
Were you actually the one who spoke to me?
**[09:31] Aichi**
Just what is PSYqualia...?
**[09:34] Emi**
Aichi, Kamui's here to visit you!
**[09:37] Aichi**
Okay, I'll be right there.
**[09:39] Emi**
He's brought a new friend, too.
**[09:42] Aichi**
A new friend?
**[09:47] Aichi**
Good morning, Kamui!
**[09:49] Kamui**
Good morning!
**[09:52] Aichi**
Kyou?
**[09:54] Aichi**
Are you two friends now?
**[09:56] Both**
No way!
**[09:58] Kamui**
I only brought him since
he said he had a proposal for you.
**[10:02] Kamui**
He also claims he quit Team Asteroid.
**[10:05] Aichi**
Huh?
**[10:09] Aichi**
You have a proposal?
**[10:11] Kyou**
You guys hate how Team Asteroid
pushes people around, don't you?
**[10:16] Kyou**
You'd like to wipe them out, wouldn't you?
**[10:19] Kamui**
You bet!
**[10:21] Kamui**
The whole world'd be better off
without those creeps around!
**[10:25] Kyou**
Then let's do it.
**[10:27] Kyou**
Let's go Asteroid hunting!
**[10:35] Aichi**
Asteroid... hunting?
**[10:49] Aichi**
By "Asteroid hunting"...
**[10:51] Aichi**
You mean, getting rid of Team Asteroid?
**[10:54] Kyou**
In short, yes.
**[10:57] Kyou**
That's their local invasion plan.
**[11:00] Kyou**
From it, you can see which fighters
have been dispatched to which shops.
***SIGN*** 3. Shop Invasion Status
**[11:06] Kyou**
All of those shops have been taken over,
except for Voyage and Capital.
**[11:10] Kamui**
So the guy who got sent to
Capital was named Kawanami...
**[11:14] Aichi**
I had no idea.
**[11:16] Kawanami**
Ah-ah-ah-ah...
**[11:18] Kawanami**
...chooo!
**[11:19] Kawanami**
Who's talking about me?

***SIGN*** Card Shop Invasion Plan
**[11:32] Kyou**
Some of these guys are really strong,
**[11:35] Kyou**
but if you fight like you did yesterday,
you can make a clean sweep of them.
**[11:39] Aichi**
Fight like I did yesterday...
**[11:42] Kamui**
Let's do it, Brother Aichi!
**[11:44] Kamui**
We can take out all of Team Asteroid!
**[11:49] Aichi**
Kamui...
**[11:51] Aichi**
That's right.
**[11:52] Aichi**
Kamui's neighborhood shop closed
because of Team Asteroid.
**[11:58] Aichi**
Okay.
**[12:00] Aichi**
I'll do my best.
**[12:02] Kyou**
I'm counting on it.
**[12:04] Kyou**
If he goes up against the
top-level members of Team Asteroid,
**[12:07] Kyou**
His PSYqualia is sure to manifest.
**[12:11] Kyou**
And I'll be right by his side,
observing him carefully...
**[12:15] Kyou**
...so that I'll obtain PSYqualia, too!
**[12:19] Asaka**
Enough clowning around.
**[12:20] Asaka**
I ride Magical Boxtreamer!

Your face is so cute, twisted in pain.
**[13:35] Misaki**
D-Don't call me cute!
**[13:38] Asaka**
But my turn isn't over yet!
**[13:41] Asaka**
Since a boosted attack hit,
**[13:43] Asaka**
Midnight Bunny's skill activates!
**[13:45] Asaka**
Superior call!
**[13:47] Asaka**
Nitro Juggler! Show off your juggling talent!
**[13:54] Misaki**
Oracle Guardian, Nike! Block it!
**[13:59] Miwa**
She blocked that last attack...
**[14:01] Shin**
But she's in a tight spot.
**[14:03] Misaki**
The circus troupe, Pale Moon...
**[14:06] Misaki**
They're extremely tricky,
tough, and unpredictable.
**[14:11] Misaki**
What should I do?
**[14:14] Misaki**
How can I win against her?
**[14:40] Ren**
Oh. What an unusual dog.
**[14:43] Kawanami**
Who're you calling a dog?!
**[14:47] Kawanami**
M-Master Ren!
**[14:49] Ren**
Oh, it's a human.
**[14:52] Ren**
Wait a second...
**[14:53] Ren**
Are you in Team Asteroid?
**[14:57] Kawanami**
Y-Yes!
**[14:59] Kawanami**
I'm your dog, Master Ren!
**[15:01] Ren**
What are you doing here?
**[15:03] Kawanami**
Actually, Asaka is fighting at this shop...

All right! Now she can do a perfect guard!
**[15:29] Shin**
Go for it, Misaki!
**[15:31] Shin**
She got blocked!
**[15:33] Miwa**
She's not done yet!
**[15:34] Miwa**
All right!
**[15:36] Miwa**
She got a critical trigger!

This is a pretty good fight.

H-Hey, you're...
**[16:01] Miwa**
...Ren!
**[16:06] Asaka**
Ren!
**[16:08] Shin**
You know him?
**[16:09] Miwa**
That's Ren Suzugamori.
**[16:13] Shin**
Which means...
**[16:14] Shin**
...he's the head of Team Asteroid!
**[16:18] Miwa**
The boss.
**[16:21] Ren**
You're Kai's friend...
**[16:24] Ren**
Biwa.
**[16:25] Miwa**
That's "Miwa"!
**[16:26] Ren**
And if you're here...
**[16:30] Ren**
Kai can't be far away.
**[16:32] Asaka**
Ren...
**[16:33] Asaka**
It seems that Toshiki Kai
often comes to this shop.
**[16:37] Asaka**
Once I beat this girl,
they'll tell us where he is.
**[16:40] Asaka**
Just a few more minutes.
**[16:43] Misaki**
You think you've won this?
**[16:45] Asaka**
Of course!
**[16:47] Asaka**
I couldn't possibly humiliate myself
in front of our leader, Ren.
**[16:53] Asaka**
Stand and draw.
**[16:59] Asaka**
I ride Artilleryman!
**[17:04] Asaka**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[17:11] Asaka**
Dancing Knifedancer!
**[17:14] Asaka**
Now for the finale!
**[17:19] Asaka**
Better get ready.
**[17:22] Misaki**
Funny, isn't it?
**[17:25] Misaki**
This is the precious card shop
that my parents left to me.
**[17:31] Misaki**
But...
**[17:33] Misaki**
...the moment he showed up,
**[17:36] Misaki**
things began to change.
**[17:41] Misaki**
And the next thing I knew,
I was playing Vanguard, too.
**[17:47] Misaki**
Now this shop is
even more precious to me.
**[17:51] Asaka**
Yeah? So what?!
**[17:55] Misaki**
So that's why...
**[17:58] Asaka**
Take this!
**[18:00] Misaki**
...this fight...
**[18:01] Asaka**
Drive check.
**[18:03] Asaka**
Front trigger!
**[18:18] Misaki**
...is one...
**[18:20] Asaka**
Midnight Bunny's skill activates!
**[18:22] Asaka**
I superior call Jumping Jill!
**[18:26] Asaka**
Come out and play, Artilleryman!
**[18:35] Misaki**
...I vow...
**[18:40] Misaki**
...not to lose!
**[18:43] Misaki**
To protect this shop, as a place...
**[18:49] Misaki**
...for people to enjoy!
**[18:52] Miwa**
She managed to block all those attacks...
**[18:56] Ren**
A fine job of both attacking and defending.
**[18:58] Ren**
However...
**[19:01] Ren**
If she doesn't defeat her right now...
**[19:04] Ren**
...Asaka will lose.
**[19:06] Miwa**
Huh?
**[19:07] Shin**
In Misaki's hand,
**[19:10] Shin**
there's one card she's held back from playing.
**[19:14] Shin**
Maybe she never found
the right time to play it?
**[19:16] Shin**
Or has she been holding onto it on purpose?
**[19:21] Asaka**
Don't tell me you rode Amaterasu earlier
**[19:24] Asaka**
just to see how I would move?
**[19:29] Misaki**
Stand and draw.
**[19:32] Misaki**
I ride!
**[19:35] Misaki**
Imperial Daughter!
**[19:39] Miwa**
By riding a grade 3 or higher,
she gets +15,000 power!
**[19:43] Shin**
Plus an extra critical!
**[19:47] Asaka**
I-It can't be...
**[19:58] Misaki**
From this day forth,
begone, Team Asteroid!
**[20:19] Shin**
She did it!
**[20:20] Miwa**
Misaki won!
**[20:30] Ren**
Just like I told you...
**[20:42] Misaki**
I... I won...
**[20:54] Misaki**
Thank goodness.
**[21:11] Kai**
Come on out.
**[21:13] Kai**
I know you've been following me.
**[21:26] Tetsu**
It's been quite some time, Toshiki Kai.
**[21:30] Kai**
Tetsu...
**[23:10] Misaki**
Remember your promise.
Team Asteroid is banned from here.
**[23:13] Misaki**
I want you to get out now.
**[23:15] Ren**
Really? Well, if you insist...
**[23:18] Ren**
Let's be going, Asaka.
**[23:19] Asaka**
Please wait, Ren!
**[23:20] Ren**
But didn't you promise?
**[23:22] Asaka**
N-No, I didn't!
**[23:24] Asaka**
I never made that promise!
**[23:26] Misaki**
Yes, you did!
**[23:27] Asaka**
Yeah, when? Which hour, minute,
second, and revolution of the Earth?!
**[23:31] Misaki**
10:35:12 AM Japan Standard Time,
**[23:33] Misaki**
as Earth revolved around the sun
for the 4,500,000,000th time.

**[00:01] Kai**
Just what is your scheme in
bringing Team Asteroid to this town?
**[00:06] Tetsu**
No scheme. It's just to stave off boredom.
**[00:09] Kai**
Yours?
**[00:10] Tetsu**
Don't get the wrong idea.
It's all for Ren's sake.
**[00:14] Kai**
It's to stave off Ren's boredom?
**[00:17] Kai**
What do you mean?
**[00:19] Tetsu**
Ren has reached the pinnacle
of Vanguard strength.
**[00:22] Tetsu**
He's already unbeatable.
**[00:25] Tetsu**
No matter how many fights he churns through,
**[00:28] Tetsu**
he's still left unsatisfied.
**[00:31] Kai**
"The pinnacle of Vanguard strength"?
**[00:33] Tetsu**
Yeah.
**[00:35] Tetsu**
Ren has finally perfected...
**[00:37] Tetsu**
...PSYqualia.
**[00:41] Aichi**
Vanguard.
**[00:42] Aichi**
It's a card game in which you yourself
become the vanguard and fight!
**[00:47] Kai**
Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!
**[02:29] Kamui**
Is this place really a card shop?!
**[02:32] Kyou**
Run home if you're spooked.
**[02:34] Kamui**
I ain't spooked!
I'm just trembling with excitement!
**[02:37] Kyou**
This is our first Team Asteroid hunting site.
**[02:39] Kyou**
You ready?
**[02:43] Aichi**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** Image 17 A Jet Black Knight!! Blaster Dark
**[02:52] Fighter A**
Huh?
**[02:53] Fighter B**
Well, look who's here! The mighty Kyou!
**[02:59] Kishida**
I heard that you lost a fight
with somebody outside the team.
**[03:05] Kishida**
You're a complete disgrace to Team Asteroid.
**[03:09] Kyou**
If it isn't SL3's...
**[03:12] Kyou**
...Osamu Kishida.
**[03:14] Aichi**
"SL3"?
**[03:15] Kyou**
Second Limited Three.
**[03:17] Kyou**
A trio within Team Asteroid
considered the strongest group after AL4.
**[03:22] Kamui**
So they're second-string players, huh?
**[03:25] Kishida**
How rude!
**[03:27] Kishida**
I may only be a member of
Second Limited currently,
**[03:30] Kishida**
but I've got much more talent than Kyou!
**[03:34] Kyou**
Yet he always loses to me...
**[03:36] Kishida**
Oh yeah? When did I lose?
**[03:39] Kishida**
Which month, day, hour, minute,
second, and revolution of the Earth?!
**[03:43] Kamui**
Are you a little kid?
**[03:44] Kishida**
Say what?!
**[03:45] Kyou**
Fine, if you're that upset about it,
**[03:48] Kyou**
then try fighting the guy who beat me.
**[03:50] Kishida**
Kyou! Are you telling me
that you lost to a grade schooler?!
**[03:55] Kyou**
Not that one. This one.
**[03:58] Kishida**
What? This boy defeated you?
**[04:01] Aichi**
H-Hello.
**[04:03] Fighter A**
Come on!
**[04:04] Fighter A**
Seriously?!
**[04:06] Fighter A**
You lost to this amateur?!
**[04:08] Kyou**
Well, just try and fight him.
**[04:11] Kyou**
Anyone who beats him can claim my spot in AL4.
**[04:16] Kyou**
But can you beat him...?
**[04:18] Kishida**
I'll take that challenge!
**[04:19] Kishida**
We'll let this boy show us...
**[04:22] Kishida**
...just how talented he really is!
**[04:25] Kyou**
All right. Sendou. Fight this guy.
**[04:28] Kamui**
Hey! Address Brother Aichi with more respect!
**[04:32] Aichi**
I'm Aichi Sendou.
**[04:34] Aichi**
Promise me that, if I win,
you won't bother this shop anymore.
**[04:40] Fighter B**
Twerp! You seriously
think you can beat Kishida?
**[04:43] Fighter A**
He's totally strong!
You'll be crying for your mommy!
**[04:47] Aichi**
Please promise.
**[04:49] Kishida**
Aichi...
**[04:51] Kishida**
You have a less than 1% likelihood of winning.
**[04:56] Kishida**
Do you still intend to play?
**[04:59] Kyou**
He's definitely got it.
**[05:02] Kyou**
The power to hear the units' voices
and predict the future of a fight.
**[05:06] Kyou**
PSYqualia!
**[05:08] Kyou**
Show it to me so that I can surpass HIM.
**[05:11] Kyou**
Show me your PSYqualia!
**[05:14] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[05:19] Tetsu**
That's right.
**[05:20] Tetsu**
Ren has become too strong.
**[05:23] Tetsu**
Now, no matter who he fights,
he shows none of the excitement he once had.
**[05:30] Tetsu**
By now, if there's anyone
who could fight Ren as an equal...
**[05:34] Tetsu**
...it's you, Toshiki Kai.
**[05:36] Tetsu**
I believe you're the only one.
**[05:39] Tetsu**
Or perhaps not even you
could satisfy him at this point.
**[05:45] Kai**
Don't try to bait me, Tetsu.
**[05:48] Kai**
I'm not interested in PSYqualia.
**[05:51] Kai**
The way he fights...
**[05:54] Kai**
...isn't serious at all!
**[05:56] Kai**
That's right.
**[05:57] Kai**
A serious fight is...
**[06:00] Aichi**
You're the one who gave me
the image of becoming stronger, Kai.
**[06:04] Aichi**
So being able to fight like this
makes me really happy!
**[06:08] Aichi**
Here I come, Kai!
**[06:13] Tetsu**
You're as strong as ever, Kai.
**[06:16] Tetsu**
However...
**[06:17] Tetsu**
...there's been a major change
in your attitude toward fights.
**[06:21] Tetsu**
What could have caused that?
**[06:24] Kai**
That's none of your business.
**[06:28] Tetsu**
It doesn't matter.
**[06:30] Tetsu**
Eventually, our Team Asteroid
will remake the landscape of this world.
**[06:36] Tetsu**
I'm sure the two of us
will meet again during that process.
**[06:41] Tetsu**
I look forward to it.
**[06:52] Asaka**
Ohh, Ren!
**[06:54] Asaka**
I'm so sorry I wasn't strong enough!
**[06:59] Asaka**
I lost to that girl from this no-name shop!
**[07:04] Asaka**
I'm unfit to be a member of Team Asteroid.
**[07:07] Asaka**
If I'm to have any hope
of you giving me another chance,
**[07:11] Asaka**
I must take a journey of rediscovery!
**[07:15] Ren**
Sure, whatever.
**[07:16] Asaka**
He brushed me off...
**[07:19] Shin**
Hey! That's too close!
**[07:21] Ren**
Allow me to introduce myself.
**[07:23] Ren**
My name is Ren Suzugamori.
**[07:26] Ren**
What's your name?
**[07:28] Misaki**
Misaki Tokura, why?
**[07:31] Ren**
Misaki Tokura...
**[07:33] Ren**
I greatly admire your strength.
**[07:37] Ren**
Where you belong is by my side.
**[07:40] Misaki**
Huh?!
**[07:41] Miwa**
You mean...
**[07:42] Shin**
Are you saying...
**[07:46] Asteroids**
To the mighty Ren Suzugamori!
**[07:54] Asaka**
You!
**[07:55] Asaka**
You're trying to steal
my position in AL4, aren't you?!
**[07:59] Asaka**
You cat burglar!
**[08:00] Misaki**
Who are you calling a cat burglar?!
***SIGN*** Sub Manager

Of course I'm still fond of you, Asaka.
**[08:10] Asaka**
Oooh, thank you, Ren!
**[08:13] Miwa**
Hey! Quit playing Casanova in this card shop!
**[08:16] Misaki**
I have no desire to be by your side!
**[08:18] Misaki**
And I'm not joining your club, either!
**[08:20] Misaki**
And Team Asteroid was banned
from this shop in the first place,
**[08:24] Misaki**
so you'd better leave, now!
**[08:26] Ren**
Man, what a problem...
**[08:29] Misaki**
The problem is you!
**[08:32] Ren**
Then, let's fight!
**[08:34] Misaki**
What?!
**[08:36] Ren**
If I win, we'll no longer be banned
from this shop. Is that okay?
**[08:41] Asaka**
Ren! Must you act so humbly?!
**[08:45] Ren**
One can't be pushy in matters like this.
**[08:48] Ren**
Let's be friends first, 'kay?
**[08:53] Misaki**
All right.
**[08:54] Shin**
Misaki?!
**[08:56] Misaki**
I accept.
**[08:58] Misaki**
Since this guy's the boss,
**[09:01] Misaki**
that makes this the last fight!
**[09:03] Misaki**
I'll make sure you never
set foot in this shop again!
**[09:06] Ren**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[09:06] Misaki**
Stand up, Vanguard!

**[09:28] Ren**
With Fullbau's skill, I draw one card,
and that ends my turn.
**[09:33] Miwa**
Shin, what's his clan?
**[09:36] Shin**
Shadow Paladin.
**[09:38] Shin**
A secretive, cold-hearted order
**[09:41] Shin**
that controls the hallowed nation
of United Sanctuary from the shadows.
**[09:45] Misaki**
Stand and draw!
**[09:48] Misaki**
I ride!
**[09:51] Misaki**
Circle Magus!
**[09:52] Misaki**
Come, Oracle Guardian, Gemini!
**[10:03] Miwa**
What's with him?!
**[10:05] Miwa**
Does he feel no pain from the VF Gloves?!
**[10:07] Asaka**
Correct.
**[10:09] Asaka**
Ren feels nothing.
**[10:12] Asaka**
Neither pain, nor suffering...
**[10:14] Asaka**
...nor pleasure.
**[10:15] Miwa**
What?!
**[10:16] Asaka**
From Ren's point of view...
**[10:19] Asaka**
...the pain from the VF Gloves...
**[10:21] Asaka**
...is what's fake.
**[10:23] Misaki**
My Vanguard attacks Blaster Javelin!

**[11:41] Fighter A**
That wasn't the deal!
**[11:43] Kamui**
Don't nitpick! "Losers get lost," remember?!
**[11:48] Kyou**
His PSYqualia must not trigger
when he fights small fry... This stinks!
**[11:53] Kyou**
Hey, Sendou!
**[11:55] Kyou**
On to the next place!
**[11:56] Aichi**
Huh? Next place?!
**[11:57] Kamui**
I'm sure you'll win easily
wherever we go, Brother Aichi!
**[12:01] Kamui**
Come on, let's go!
**[12:03] Togi**
Wait!
**[12:06] Kamui**
Um...
**[12:06] Aichi**
Are you with Team Asteroid?
**[12:08] Togi**
No, I'm the manager of this shop.
**[12:12] The Two**
No way!
**[12:14] Togi**
I've been in a jam ever since
these punks took over my shop.
**[12:19] Togi**
I don't know how I can ever repay you,
**[12:23] Togi**
but thanks, ya guys.
**[12:26] The Two**
N-No problem!
**[12:29] Aichi**
I see.
**[12:31] Aichi**
By doing this, I was able to help someone out.
**[12:36] Aichi**
Shall we go to the next shop?
**[12:39] Kamui**
Yeah! You're really into it now,
huh, Brother Aichi?!
**[12:58] Misaki**
A black Blaster Blade...
**[13:00] Ren**
Wrong.
**[13:01] Ren**
I am the vanguard of darkness...
**[13:04] Ren**
...Blaster Dark.
**[13:08] Miwa**
What?!
**[13:09] Shin**
I've heard of that unit,
**[13:10] Shin**
but this is my first time seeing it.
**[13:13] Misaki**
What is it?!
**[13:15] Misaki**
It's like a black knight bearing a strong
resemblance to Aichi's Blaster Blade...
**[13:20] Misaki**
...but what is that sinister aura?
**[13:25] Ren**
My Darkness destroys the balance of Light.
**[13:30] Ren**
Ability Blast.
**[13:32] Ren**
Greediness Shadow!
**[13:36] Misaki**
Gemini!
**[13:38] Ren**
When Blaster Dark appears,
**[13:41] Ren**
I can retire one of my opponent's rear-guards.
**[13:45] Ren**
Assemble, my shadow army!
**[13:51] Miwa**
Darn it!
**[13:52] Miwa**
He's even filled out his ranks!
**[13:55] Misaki**
It's just like Aichi's Blaster Blade.
**[13:58] Misaki**
Blaster Dark has the ability to retire units.
**[14:02] Misaki**
If so, then what's his next move?
**[14:04] Misaki**
Which will be his key unit?
**[14:06] Ren**
Don't bother thinking about it.
**[14:10] Ren**
You'll just plunge into
the pitch-black darkness.
**[14:15] Misaki**
We'll see about that!
**[14:17] Misaki**
Come, Luck Bird!
**[14:18] Ren**
You're good. But...
**[14:20] Ren**
...can you take this?
**[14:22] Misaki**
No guard!
**[14:24] Ren**
Are you sure?
**[14:26] Ren**
Right now, Blaster Dark has twin drive.
**[14:29] Miwa**
A grade 2 with twin drive?!
**[14:32] Ren**
First check.
**[14:34] Ren**
Critical trigger.
**[14:35] Ren**
I give the power to Blaster Axe,
and the extra critical to my Vanguard.
**[14:40] Ren**
Second check.
**[14:42] Ren**
Critical trigger.
**[14:43] Ren**
I give the power to Blaster Axe,
and the extra critical to my Vanguard.
**[14:47] Shin**
Both were criticals!
**[14:49] Miwa**
How lucky can he get?!
**[14:54] Asaka**
If you think that's luck,
then you're sorely mistaken.
**[14:57] Asaka**
Ren can hear the voices of the cards.
**[15:00] Asaka**
This is Ren's true ability.
**[15:05] Misaki**
Damage check!
**[15:11] Miwa**
Misaki!
**[15:12] Shin**
Misaki!
**[15:14] Asaka**
What a cute scream.
**[15:17] Misaki**
Don't call me cute!
**[15:18] Asaka**
Now now, keep your head in the game.
**[15:21] Asaka**
Ren's not done attacking yet.
**[15:24] Ren**
Go, my dark servants!
**[15:28] Miwa**
With the boost, Blaster Axe's power is up to 41,000!
**[15:32] Misaki**
I can't block that!
**[15:37] Misaki**
Damage check!
**[15:41] Kyou**
Hey, come on.
**[15:42] Kamui**
That was awesome!
**[15:45] Kyou**
Sheesh. Quit winning so easily.
**[15:48] Kyou**
There's no point in doing this
unless it triggers PSYqualia.

"Sai-Kwo-Ria"?
***SIGN*** Shaved Ice
Strawberry Melon Lemon
**[15:54] Kamui**
Ice... Cool... Rhino...?
**[15:56] Kyou**
"PSYqualia"!
**[15:58] Kyou**
It's the power to hear the voices of the cards
and predict what will happen in a fight!
**[16:03] Aichi**
The voices of the cards?
**[16:05] Blaster**
Call!
**[16:13] Kyou**
Sendou, did you hear the cards this time?
**[16:16] Aichi**
Now that you mention it, I didn't...
**[16:18] Kyou**
I knew it.
**[16:20] Kyou**
I guess his PSYqualia isn't triggered
unless he's driven to the breaking point.
**[16:25] Kamui**
Wait, what?
**[16:27] Aichi**
You mean, you know someone else
who also has PSYqualia?
**[16:31] Kyou**
Yeah.
**[16:32] Kyou**
HE is constantly talking to the cards.
**[16:36] Ren**
Are you? Well, no need to panic.
**[16:39] Ren**
The darkness will soon envelop everything.
**[16:43] Misaki**
Stay calm.
**[16:45] Misaki**
Take slow, deep breaths
and focus on gauging his weakness.
**[16:49] Misaki**
Now is when I go on the attack.
**[16:52] Misaki**
I ride!
**[16:55] Misaki**
Promise Daughter!
**[16:57] Misaki**
Circle Magus! Counterblast! I draw one card!
**[17:02] Misaki**
I call Silent Tom!
**[17:03] Misaki**
With a Counterblast, he gets +6000 power.
**[17:06] Misaki**
And then...
**[17:08] Misaki**
...I call Oracle Guardian, Gemini!
**[17:11] Misaki**
Let's go!
**[17:12] Ren**
No guard.
**[17:14] Misaki**
Drive check!
**[17:16] Misaki**
First check.
**[17:18] Misaki**
Critical trigger!
**[17:19] Misaki**
I give the power to Silent Tom,
**[17:21] Misaki**
and the extra critical to Promise Daughter!
**[17:28] Ren**
Damage check.
**[17:34] Misaki**
Tom! Gemini! Combo attack!
**[17:37] Tom**
Yes, ma'am!
**[17:38] Ren**
This attack is a nuisance.
**[17:40] Ren**
But not for long...
**[17:42] Ren**
Attend me, Darkside Trumpeter!
**[17:46] Ren**
Blaster Axe, lend your power, too!
**[17:51] Asaka**
Did you see Ren's lovely intercept?!
**[17:56] Miwa**
Tch! But at least they're tied at 4 damage!
**[18:01] Ren**
What are you so happy about?
**[18:04] Ren**
The fight is over.
**[18:08] Misaki**
Wha...?!
**[18:10] Misaki**
What's coming next?!
**[18:15] Ren**
Sorry I kept you waiting.
**[18:17] Rem**
Lurking deep within the shadow palace,
**[18:20] Ren**
one who rules those beyond the bounds by law...
**[18:25] Ren**
I ride!
**[18:38] Misaki**
What is this?!
**[18:40] Ren**
The Dark Dictator.
**[18:45] Miwa**
A black King of Knights!
**[18:47] Ren**
Imaginary Gift.
**[18:49] Ren**
Force.
**[18:50] Ren**
This gives Dark Dictator +10,000 power.
**[18:56] Ren**
Attend me, Blaster Javelin!
**[18:59] Ren**
Counterblast.
**[19:01] Ren**
Dark Dictator's skill activates.
**[19:04] Ren**
I superior call Blaster Dark from my hand.
**[19:09] Miwa**
He had a second Blaster Dark!
**[19:11] Ren**
This gives Blaster Dark +5000 power.
**[19:16] Ren**
My sword shall lead you
to the depths of darkness.
**[19:20] Ren**
Break Darkness Destruction!
**[19:26] Misaki**
Gemini!
**[19:29] Ren**
Greediness Shadow.
**[19:34] Misaki**
Tom!
**[19:38] Ren**
And with that...
**[19:39] Ren**
...the world is now shrouded in complete darkness.
**[19:43] Ren**
Meekly admit your defeat.
**[19:46] Ren**
Do so, and you won't have to
experience needless pain.
**[19:50] Ren**
Go ahead, surrender.
**[19:52] Misaki**
I refuse!
**[19:54] Misaki**
Pain of the flesh may fade,
**[19:56] Misaki**
but not the pain in my heart!
**[19:58] Misaki**
If you expected me to admit defeat...
**[20:02] Misaki**
...then you were wrong!
**[20:03] Asaka**
Hmm?
**[20:05] Ren**
Is that so?
**[20:07] Ren**
Then I'll have to engrave death
into your flesh!
**[20:10] Misaki**
No guard!
**[20:13] Ren**
First check.
**[20:14] Ren**
Second check.
**[20:16] Ren**
Critical trigger!
**[20:18] Ren**
I give the power to Blaster Dark,
**[20:21] Ren**
and the extra critical to Dark Dictator.
**[20:25] Ren**
Sink into the pitch-black darkness!
**[20:30] Misaki**
Damage check!
**[20:47] Miwa**
Hang in there, Misaki!
**[20:49] Shin**
Misaki!
**[20:51] Asaka**
I knew you would win, Ren!
**[20:54] Ren**
Well, I'll be going.
**[20:57] Ren**
Now that I'm allowed to return to this shop.
**[21:01] Ren**
See you later...
**[21:04] Ren**
...when I'm back to see you.
**[23:10] Togi**
Hey, ya guys, what's happening?!
**[23:13] Togi**
I'm Togi Makabe, the manager of Card Shop GBH.
**[23:18] Togi**
I'll take sweets over three square meals a day!
My current fave is... choux cream!
**[23:24] Togi**
Remember that, ya punks!
**[23:27] Kamui**
This shop manager seems
much stronger than Team Asteroid!
**[23:33] Togi**
I may be physically strong,
***SIGN*** Image 18
Kai and Ren, and Aichi, Too
**[23:35] Togi**
but my card playing is totally weak!
**[23:38] Kamui**
Don't brag about that!

**[00:02] Kai**
What?!
**[00:05] Kai**
Ren came here?!
**[00:06] Miwa**
Y-Yeah.
**[00:08] Misaki**
He was incredible.
**[00:11] Ren**
Sink into the pitch-black darkness!
**[00:13] Misaki**
I was helpless to do anything.
**[00:18] Misaki**
It's just that, his fighting style...
**[00:22] Kai**
What about it?
**[00:25] Misaki**
It reminded me...
**[00:27] Misaki**
...of Aichi.
**[00:29] Kai**
Where is Aichi?
**[00:30] Miwa**
He hasn't come by yet.
**[00:37] Aichi**
Huh?
**[00:38] Kamui**
Tomorrow, too?
**[00:40] Kyou**
Of course.
**[00:41] Kyou**
There are still lots of shops left
that were taken over by Team Asteroid.
**[00:46] Aichi**
That's true. I'll do my best tomorrow, then.
**[00:49] Kamui**
Well, if Brother Aichi agrees...
**[00:52] Kyou**
Then we'll meet up after school.
**[00:54] Kyou**
Don't be late.
**[00:56] Kamui**
Looks like we're not making it
to Capital tomorrow, either.
**[01:00] Aichi**
Yeah.
**[01:01] Aichi**
But somebody has to take care of this.
**[01:05] Kamui**
Brother Aichi...
**[01:14] Aichi**
Vanguard.
**[01:15] Aichi**
It's a card game in which you yourself
become the vanguard and fight!
**[01:19] Kai**
Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!
***SIGN*** Image 18 Kai and Ren, and Aichi Too
**[03:04] Shin**
I guess Aichi's not coming by today, either.
**[03:08] Miwa**
You're leaving?
**[03:09] Kai**
Yeah.
**[03:23] Tetsu**
Ren has finally perfected...
**[03:26] Tetsu**
...PSYqualia.
**[03:29] Kai**
"PSYqualia"...
**[03:39] Kai**
Ren started to change because of that power.
**[03:42] Kai**
Back then, I was blindly doing fights,
just to seek out strength.
**[03:55] Tetsu**
You won again.
**[04:00] Kai**
I first encountered Ren at
a card shop where I happened to be.
**[04:06] Kai**
Who's next?!
**[04:07] Tetsu**
Your old man hit you again?!
**[04:11] Kai**
Ren was heir to a major corporation.
**[04:14] Kai**
But, constantly suffering abuse
at the hands of his perfectionist father,
**[04:18] Kai**
he'd go to that shop as a means of escape.
**[04:21] Kai**
Ride The Vanguard!
**[04:28] Kai**
I call!
**[04:31] Tetsu**
It seems his name is Toshiki Kai.
**[04:33] Ren**
Toshiki Kai...
**[04:36] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord attacks your Vanguard!
**[04:42] PlayerA**
Damage check...
**[04:44] PlayerA**
No trigger.
**[04:48] PlayerA**
6 damage...
**[04:54] Kai**
Next!
**[04:55] Ren**
M-Me!
**[05:04] Ren**
M-My name is Ren Suzugamori.
**[05:07] Kai**
I don't care who you are.
**[05:10] Kai**
Let's do this!
**[05:11] Ren**
R-Right!
**[05:14] Kai**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[05:14] Ren**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[05:24] Ren**
Y-You're so strong...
**[05:30] Kai**
Ren challenged me countless times after that.
**[05:34] Ren**
Why? Why?!
**[05:37] Ren**
Why?!
**[05:40] Ren**
Tell me, Kai!
**[05:42] Ren**
Why are you so strong?!
**[05:45] Kai**
Imagine yourself being stronger.
**[05:48] Kai**
Imagination will become your strength.
**[05:53] Kai**
That's when Ren had an awakening.
**[06:01] Ren**
It's my turn, right?
**[06:11] Ren**
What was that?
**[06:18] Ren**
Got it.
**[06:22] Ren**
It's my turn, huh?
**[06:26] Kai**
Ren?
**[06:27] Ren**
Say, Kai...
**[06:30] Ren**
Have you ever heard the voices of the cards?
**[06:33] Kai**
Huh?
**[06:34] Tetsu**
The voices of the cards?
**[06:35] Kai**
What are you talking about?
**[06:38] Ren**
Come on!
**[06:39] Ren**
I'm making a once-in-a-lifetime confession here!
**[06:42] Kai**
It's just dumb.
**[06:44] Kai**
I assumed...
**[06:45] Kai**
...they were no more than hallucinations
brought on by Ren's intense concentration.
**[06:52] Kai**
But he really could hear
the voices of the cards.
**[06:56] Kai**
And eventually, he was unbeatable.
**[06:59] Ren**
Yeah, I know.
**[07:03] Ren**
I'm counting on you.
**[07:05] Ren**
I already know what the result will be.
**[07:13] Ren**
The Dark Dictator attacks your Vanguard!
**[07:18] PlayerB**
N-No guard!
**[07:20] Ren**
First check.
**[07:22] Ren**
I got a critical trigger.
**[07:25] Ren**
Second check.
**[07:28] Ren**
I got a critical trigger.
**[07:32] GalleryC**
Another double trigger!
**[07:34] Tetsu**
Ren wins.
**[07:35] GalleryA**
That's how many wins in a row?!
**[07:38] GalleryB**
Can he seriously hear the voices of the cards?!
**[07:43] PlayerB**
You dirty cheat!
**[07:47] Ren**
That hurt, you know.
**[07:49] PlayerB**
Shut up!
**[07:50] PlayerB**
The only way you'd get
hands like that is by cheating!
**[07:55] Ren**
Before we even began,
**[07:57] Ren**
I could already see your defeat.
**[08:01] PlayerB**
You're dead!
**[08:04] Tetsu**
What are you doing?!
**[08:13] Ren**
He thought he could vanquish me with violence.
**[08:16] Ren**
What a fool.
**[08:18] Kai**
You got beat up again?
**[08:21] Ren**
I don't care about that.
**[08:26] Ren**
Amazing...
**[08:28] Ren**
With this power alone,
I can beat absolutely anyone.
**[08:32] Ren**
Even you will lose to me eventually, Kai.
**[08:36] Kai**
Quit it.
**[08:37] Ren**
Huh?
**[08:38] Kai**
So long as you use that power,
**[08:40] Kai**
you're not actually fighting.
**[08:43] Kai**
All you're doing is winning!
**[08:45] Kai**
You're not grasping for victory
like you would in a serious fight!
**[08:52] Ren**
What's wrong with winning?!
**[08:54] Ren**
My opponents are just weak!
**[08:57] Ren**
Wh-What's with you, Kai?
**[09:02] Ren**
I get it! You're intimidated by my power!
**[09:06] Ren**
You're afraid of losing!
**[09:11] Ren**
You're just afraid of being surpassed by
someone you see as lesser than yourself!
**[09:27] Suiko**
Are you the fighter who can
hear the voices of the cards?
**[09:34] Suiko**
Would you have a Cardfight with me?
**[09:44] Suiko**
6 damage.
**[09:46] Suiko**
That power of yours... could be PSYqualia.
**[09:51] Ren**
"PSYqualia"...
**[09:53] Ren**
Is that the sensation of
hearing the voices of the cards?
**[10:05] Ren**
It's PSYqualia!
**[10:07] Ren**
This power of mine is called PSYqualia!
**[10:11] Kai**
Now that his power had been given a name,
**[10:14] Kai**
Ren became even more obsessed with it.
**[10:22] Ren**
There, you see? I won!
**[10:24] PlayerC**
Darn it!
**[10:25] Ren**
You're weak!
**[10:27] Ren**
Weak, weak, weak, weak, weak!
**[10:30] Ren**
I don't wanna fight any more weaklings.
**[10:33] Ren**
Why don't you quit?
**[10:34] PlayerC**
Wha...?!
**[10:35] Ren**
What else can a weakling do, but quit?
**[10:41] Kai**
Ren...
**[10:42] Kai**
Whatever kind of power you have,
**[10:45] Kai**
your fights are only about you getting
drunk on victory and breaking losers' spirits!
**[10:49] Kai**
That's boring!
**[10:52] Kai**
I'd grown disgusted with Ren.
**[10:56] Kai**
So I used entering high school
as my chance to return to this town.
**[11:00] Kai**
And then...
**[11:23] Aichi**
You always looked like you were
having a good time Cardfighting.
**[11:27] Kai**
That's right. I returned to this town...
**[11:30] Aichi**
Give me back my card!
**[11:33] Kai**
...and then met Aichi.
**[11:35] Kai**
Is this your card?
**[11:38] Kai**
A card that's been taken away
can only be regained through a fight.
**[11:43] Aichi**
Then, w-will you fight me?
**[11:48] Kai**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[11:48] Aichi**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[11:51] Kai**
To me, Gojo!
**[11:55] Aichi**
With a boost from Wingal,
**[11:56] Aichi**
my Vanguard attacks Dragon Armored Knight!
**[12:02] Kai**
Ride!
**[12:09] Aichi**
W-Wow!
**[12:13] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord "The Vanguard"!
**[12:16] Kai**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[12:19] Kai**
Behold the power and might
known as the Flames of Apocalypse!
**[12:31] Kai**
Against my might,
you're nothing but trash.
**[12:37] Aichi**
Stand up, my avatar!
**[12:41] Aichi**
From the military force of planet Cray's
**[12:43] Aichi**
hallowed nation of United Sanctuary,
**[12:46] Aichi**
Royal Paladin's Sword of Light!
**[12:52] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[12:58] Aichi**
You're the one who gave me
the image of becoming stronger, Kai.
**[13:05] Aichi**
Here I come, Kai!
**[13:07] Kai**
Then come on, Aichi!
**[13:21] Kai**
Why did I lose to Aichi?
**[13:23] Kai**
That should be obvious.
**[13:25] Kai**
It's because Aichi's imagination surpassed mine.
**[13:29] Kai**
And Aichi's imagination...
**[13:31] Kai**
...continued to evolve with each fight.
**[13:34] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[13:38] Aichi**
Come to me now,
**[13:40] Aichi**
leader of light!
**[13:41] Aichi**
Prince of Royal Paladins!
**[13:45] Aichi**
Alfred Early!
**[13:48] Kamui**
The Great Kamui rides!
**[13:54] Kamui**
Perfect Raizer!
**[13:56] Kamui**
Asura Kaiser!
**[14:04] Aichi**
Gallatin!
**[14:06] Kamui**
I told ya!
**[14:07] Kamui**
There's no point in resisting!
**[14:13] Kamui**
Asura Kaiser!
**[14:14] Kamui**
One more time!
**[14:20] Kamui**
Here's where...
**[14:22] Kamui**
...I finish you off!
**[14:25] Aichi**
Guard!
**[14:29] Kamui**
I-It can't be!
**[14:31] Kamui**
My sixth attack didn't finish him off?!
**[14:36] Aichi**
It's my turn!
**[14:37] Aichi**
Here I go, Kamui!
**[14:53] Kai**
Aichi won against Kamui.
**[14:56] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[14:59] Misaki**
I ride!
**[15:01] Misaki**
Imperial Daughter!
**[15:06] Aichi**
I attack Imperial Daughter
with Blaster Blade, boosted by Wingal!
**[15:12] Misaki**
Weather Forecaster, Miss Mist!
**[15:19] Misaki**
Here I come, Aichi Sendou!
**[15:22] Aichi**
I'm ready, Misaki!
**[15:26] Misaki**
Twin drive! First check!
**[15:29] Aichi**
Critical trigger?!
**[15:31] Misaki**
I give all of the effects to Imperial Daughter!
**[15:33] Misaki**
Second check.
**[15:35] Misaki**
I give all of the effects to Imperial Daughter!
**[15:50] Kai**
He lost to Misaki,
**[15:55] Kai**
but it was a fight where
either of them could've won.
**[15:58] Miwa**
Oh, uh, me?
**[15:59] Miwa**
Well, the answer's...
beyond me, unfortunately!
**[16:05] Kai**
But then again...
**[16:07] Miwa**
Morikawa, this shop's self-declared
strongest fighter, lost to Kai.
**[16:10] Miwa**
Then Kai lost to Aichi, who then lost to me...
**[16:14] Miwa**
Guess that means...
**[16:16] Miwa**
I'm the strongest fighter at Card Capital!
**[16:20] Miwa**
Aw, yeah!
**[16:22] Kai**
...he did lose easily to Miwa.
**[16:25] Kai**
The truth is, he still has his ups and downs...
**[16:28] Kai**
...but Aichi keeps improving steadily.
**[16:31] Leon**
I have one wish. That the wind will blow.
**[16:37] Leon**
Stand up, my Vanguard!
**[16:37] Aichi**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[16:42] Leon**
You should take caution.
**[16:44] Leon**
The wind will soon become a tempest.
**[16:47] Aichi**
Huh?
**[16:50] Leon**
A slumbering giant dragon
awakens from the depths.
**[16:53] Leon**
I ride...
**[16:58] Leon**
...Blue Storm Dragon, Maelstrom!
**[17:02] Leon**
Lazarus attacks your Vanguard.
**[17:05] Leon**
Lazarus's skill activates. +3000 power.
**[17:13] Aichi**
What is this?
**[17:19] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[17:29] Aichi**
What was that sensation just now?
**[17:35] Aichi**
Come to me now!
**[17:39] Aichi**
The master of paladins!
**[17:48] Aichi**
King of Knights, Alfred!
**[17:55] Leon**
I'll halt that wind!
**[18:01] Aichi**
Let's go, Wingal!
**[18:03] Wingal**
Mrf-mrf!
**[18:06] Leon**
I'm not finished yet!
**[18:10] Leon**
The wind is still blowing my direction.
**[18:17] Leon**
You played admirably, Aichi Sendou.
**[18:19] Leon**
But it appears your wind couldn't reach me.
**[18:26] Leon**
Farewell, King of Knights.
**[18:30] Aichi**
Bringer of Good Luck, Epona!
**[18:41] Leon**
"The jet stream"...
**[18:42] Aichi**
Huh?
**[18:43] Leon**
Westerly winds that blow
at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
**[18:47] Leon**
The higher the wind, the stronger it blows.
**[18:49] Leon**
You too should strive to
reach the heights of Vanguard.
**[18:53] Leon**
I'll be waiting.
**[18:55] Kai**
What were "the heights of Vanguard"
Asia Circuit champion Leon Soryu referred to?
**[19:03] Kai**
Did he mean... PSYqualia?!
**[19:16] Kyou**
Aichi Sendou, today's the day...
**[19:19] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[19:37] Blaster**
My Vanguard...
**[19:39] Blaster**
My Vanguard.
**[19:41] Aichi**
I hear a voice.
**[19:43] Aichi**
Blaster Blade wants to tell me something.
**[19:48] Blaster**
Call.
**[19:49] Aichi**
Huh?
**[19:50] Blaster**
Call!
**[19:57] Aichi**
Okay, got it.
**[20:02] Aichi**
I call...
**[20:03] Aichi**
Sage of Guidance, Zenon.
**[20:10] Kyou**
Sage of Guidance, Zenon?!
**[20:14] Aichi**
Thank you, Blaster Blade.
**[20:17] Kyou**
I-It can't be!
**[20:19] Kyou**
He drew a grade 3?!
**[20:22] Aichi**
Dispelling the dark clouds
that obstruct the way to hope!
**[20:26] Aichi**
Dragon of sacred light!
**[20:41] Aichi**
I superior ride...
**[20:44] Aichi**
Soul Saver Dragon!
**[20:48] Aichi**
Shining Feather Saver!
**[20:59] Kyou**
Just like on that day...
**[21:02] Kyou**
...your PSYqualia will manifest.
**[21:16] Miwa**
You're such a lone wolf.
**[21:18] Kai**
Huh?
**[21:20] Miwa**
I can tell you're gonna go
try to resolve this on your own.
**[21:24] Kai**
Resolve what?
**[21:25] Miwa**
Well, I'm free, so I'll come with.
**[21:34] Miwa**
As aloof as ever, huh...
**[23:10] Miwa**
Hey, Kai, where are we going?
**[23:13] Miwa**
Why a supermarket?
**[23:14] Miwa**
I should carry the basket?
Sure, but what are we buying?
**[23:18] Miwa**
Onions and mushrooms?
**[23:20] Miwa**
And 400 grams of beef tenderloin...
**[23:23] Miwa**
What? For beef stroganoff?
**[23:25] Miwa**
You're gonna cook it for me?!
**[23:27] Miwa**
I'm not worthy!
**[23:28] Kai**
Hey, Miwa...
**[23:30] Kai**
Wake up. We're here.
**[23:32] Miwa**
Shucks. I fell asleep on the bus...
**[23:34] Kai**
You're drooling.
What were you dreaming about?

**[01:49] Tetsu**
Asaka, where's Ren?
**[01:52] Asaka**
Don't know.
**[01:54] Tetsu**
Hmph.
***SIGN*** Tetsu
**[02:07] Tetsu**
He left it here again?
**[02:09] Asaka**
Hey, Tetsu...
**[02:12] Asaka**
About Toshiki Kai...
**[02:15] Asaka**
Is it true that he's undefeated?
**[02:19] Tetsu**
Why do you ask?
**[02:21] Tetsu**
I can't say that I've ever seen Kai lose.
**[02:24] Asaka**
Yesterday, I heard that he has lost a fight.
**[02:28] Tetsu**
What?!
**[02:29] Miwa**
But I've beaten somebody
who's beaten Kai before.
**[02:34] Asaka**
And yet, that guy lost to me.
**[02:38] Tetsu**
I don't believe it. Toshiki Kai is--
**[02:41] Lackey C**
I have big news!
**[02:45] Lackey C**
Yesterday, Kyou Yahagi showed up at the shops
controlled by Osamu Kishida and Kiriya Bidou.
**[02:51] Tetsu**
Kyou did?!
**[02:53] Lackey C**
According to the report,
Kyou claimed to be "Asteroid hunting."
**[02:57] Asaka**
Asteroid hunting?
**[02:58] Tetsu**
I see.
**[02:59] Tetsu**
And what was the result of the fight?
**[03:02] Lackey C**
Actually, it seems the fighter
Kyou was with beat both of our guys.
**[03:08] Asaka**
You're kidding...
**[03:10] Tetsu**
What was this fighter like?
**[03:12] Lackey C**
The report says he used Blaster Blade!
**[03:16] Tetsu**
Blaster Blade!
**[03:18] Asaka**
That card is as rare as Ren's Blaster Dark.
**[03:22] Tetsu**
Very interesting.
**[03:24] Tetsu**
Assuming that Kyou plans
to do more Asteroid hunting today,
**[03:28] Tetsu**
the shop he's most likely to visit is...
**[03:32] Kyou**
Here.
**[03:34] Prof. O**
You're "Asteroid hunting"?
**[03:36] Kyou**
That's right. So you're gonna fight him.
**[03:39] Aichi**
Hello.
**[03:40] Prof. O**
O, you surprise me!
**[03:42] Prof. O**
Kyou, do you know who I am?
**[03:45] Kyou**
Of course I do.
**[03:47] Kyou**
You're a member of Second Limited 3,
otherwise known as SL3.
**[03:52] Kyou**
The mighty Professor O.
**[03:54] Lackey A**
This's the guy who beat you...
**[03:55] Lackey B**
And then took out Kishida and Bidou?
**[03:59] Kyou**
Looks like word gets around.
**[04:01] Kyou**
Meaning I don't have to explain.
**[04:04] Prof. O**
He doesn't seem like
an especially tough fighter...
**[04:07] Prof. O**
O, let us have a good fight!
**[04:09] Aichi**
Y-Yes, let's.
**[04:11] Aichi**
I-If I win, you should leave this shop.
**[04:16] Lackey A**
Hey Professor, it sounds like
this guy thinks he's gonna beat you.
**[04:21] Prof. O**
Hypothetically, were he to beat me,
then, O yes, we would leave this store!
**[04:26] Aichi**
P-Please do.
**[04:28] Kamui**
Good luck, Brother Aichi!
**[04:30] Aichi**
Thanks.
**[04:34] Prof. O**
Stand up, O Vanguard!
**[04:34] Aichi**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[04:44] Lackey A**
I-It can't be...
**[04:45] Lackey B**
No way!
**[04:50] Aichi**
Alfred Early attacks your Vanguard!
**[04:55] Prof. O**
O, to think this would ever happen!
**[04:59] Prof. O**
Damage check...
**[05:02] Lackey A**
No trigger!
**[05:04] Lackey B**
Which means...
**[05:11] Aichi**
I-I won.
**[05:13] Kamui**
Ya see just how strong Brother Aichi is?
**[05:16] Kamui**
Now hit the road!
**[05:18] Prof. O**
O what a fight!
**[05:22] Clerk**
Thank you.
**[05:23] Kamui**
Only the best from Brother Aichi!
**[05:25] Aichi**
No, not really...
**[05:27] Clerk**
Well, back to work...
**[05:29] Kyou**
Sendou.
**[05:31] Kyou**
Did you hear the voices of the cards?
**[05:33] Kamui**
You're still going on about that?
***SIGN*** Psy-Cukes For Sale
**[05:35] Kamui**
That psy-cucumber thing...
**[05:38] Kyou**
It's PSYqualia.
**[05:40] Kyou**
Well? Did you?
**[05:43] Aichi**
No, I didn't.
**[05:45] Aichi**
That one time...
**[05:48] Blaster**
Call.
**[05:51] Aichi**
It may have been a fluke.
**[05:53] Aichi**
I don't think I have that power--
**[05:55] Kyou**
Of course you do!
**[05:57] Kyou**
You wouldn't have been
able to beat me otherwise!
**[06:01] Kyou**
Let's go to the next shop.
**[06:03] Kyou**
Hang on...
**[06:05] Kyou**
There aren't many fighters
who're better than Professor O.
**[06:09] Kyou**
You're far stronger than you need to be!
**[06:12] Kamui**
Got that right!
**[06:13] Kamui**
He's now crazy-strong!
**[06:15] Tetsu**
You've been causing us trouble, Kyou.
**[06:20] Kamui**
Who're you?!
**[06:22] Kyou**
A member of AL4. Tetsu.
**[06:25] Aichi**
AL4...
**[06:27] Kamui**
They're the top four
fighters in Team Asteroid, right?
**[06:31] Kyou**
Although they're down to three now...
**[06:33] Tetsu**
Which one here is the fighter
who used Blaster Blade to defeat you?
**[06:39] Kyou**
That's what you're interested in?
**[06:41] Kyou**
He's this gangly one.
**[06:45] Aichi**
H-Hello.
**[06:48] Tetsu**
I don't judge books by their covers,
but this claim is hard to swallow.
**[06:53] Tetsu**
This boy actually defeated you?
**[06:56] Kyou**
Yeah, completely.
**[06:58] Kyou**
But then, just like Ren,
**[07:00] Kyou**
he's able to hear the voices of the cards.
**[07:04] Tetsu**
What?
**[07:05] Kyou**
You've done plenty of research on Ren,
**[07:08] Kyou**
so I'm sure you know what I mean.
**[07:13] Tetsu**
It's something I've only ever
witnessed with Ren Suzugamori.
**[07:17] Tetsu**
The power to hear the voices of the units
and then predict the future of the fight...
**[07:21] Tetsu**
PSYqualia.
**[07:22] Tetsu**
This boy has it?
**[07:25] Kyou**
Doesn't it make you wanna test him, Tetsu?
**[07:29] Tetsu**
I'll take you up on that, Kyou.
**[07:32] Tetsu**
Have a bout with me, boy!
**[07:38] Kyou**
Sendou, this guy happens to be
the commander of Team Asteroid.
**[07:42] Aichi**
The commander?
**[07:44] Kyou**
As in, he's the one who issued
the orders to take over card shops.
**[07:50] Aichi**
Then, did you create the VF Gloves, too?
**[07:53] Tetsu**
Yeah.
**[07:55] Tetsu**
That was my doing.
**[07:56] Aichi**
I-I'd been thinking that...
**[08:00] Aichi**
whoever had made the gloves
did it because of their love of Vanguard.
**[08:04] Aichi**
To me, it felt like they were made
for harmonizing with one's Vanguard.
**[08:09] Tetsu**
Oh, so you realized that?
**[08:12] Aichi**
Huh?
**[08:13] Tetsu**
It's true that I created them,
**[08:15] Tetsu**
but I was inspired to do so for my leader.
**[08:18] Aichi**
Your leader?
**[08:19] Tetsu**
Just as you said, he loves Vanguard.
**[08:24] Kamui**
You say the leader of
Team Asteroid loves Vanguard?!
**[08:27] Kamui**
Don't make me laugh!
**[08:29] Aichi**
Kamui!
**[08:32] Aichi**
But why would someone like that
wreak havoc by forcing shops to use VF Gloves?
**[08:38] Tetsu**
To ensure that they do serious fights.
**[08:40] Aichi**
Serious fights...?
**[08:42] Tetsu**
Team Asteroid reigns
atop the summit of Vanguard.
**[08:46] Tetsu**
Therefore, all fights must be serious ones.
**[08:49] Tetsu**
To that end, this item is necessary
**[08:51] Tetsu**
to stimulate tension and
concentration during fights.
**[08:55] Aichi**
I understand.
**[08:56] Aichi**
Then, if I win this fight, I would like
for all members of Team Asteroid
**[09:01] Aichi**
to stop forcing the use
of VF Gloves in card shops!
**[09:07] Tetsu**
Team Asteroid's motto is,
"Winners get all! Losers get lost!"
**[09:12] Tetsu**
Boy, if you desire the rights
that come with victory,
**[09:15] Tetsu**
then you'll have to be the victor!
**[09:20] Aichi**
I'm ready.
**[09:22] Tetsu**
What's your name, boy?
**[09:23] Aichi**
Aichi Sendou.
**[09:25] Tetsu**
I'm Tetsu Shinjou.
**[09:27] Tetsu**
I'm ready, too.
**[09:29] Tetsu**
So let's begin.
**[09:31] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[09:38] Tetsu**
I ride!
**[09:44] Tetsu**
Prisoner Beast!
**[09:49] Kyou**
Tetsu uses a clan that unleashes
powerful skills by building up the Soul...
**[09:54] Kyou**
Dark Irregulars.
**[09:57] Tetsu**
Soul charge!
**[09:59] Kamui**
He's already pumping up his Soul!
**[10:01] Tetsu**
That ends my turn!
**[10:03] Aichi**
Stand and draw!
**[10:06] Aichi**
I ride!
**[10:11] Aichi**
Knight Squire, Allen!
**[10:27] Tetsu**
I've only ever seen Ren exhibit that power,
**[10:30] Tetsu**
so I'm intrigued that
someone else may also possess it.
**[10:35] Tetsu**
It's my turn!
**[10:37] Tetsu**
I'm going to test you!
**[10:39] Tetsu**
We'll see whether you
really can exhibit PSYqualia!
**[10:56] Tetsu**
Stand and draw!
**[11:01] Aichi**
I-I'd been thinking that...
**[11:04] Aichi**
whoever had made the gloves
did it because of their love of Vanguard.
**[11:09] Tetsu**
That's right. Ren Suzugamori loves Vanguard.
***SIGN*** Cardshop Castle
**[11:14] Tetsu**
That's why PSYqualia manifested within him.
**[11:19] Ren**
Second check.
**[11:20] Gallery A**
Another double critical!
**[11:22] Gallery B**
That Suzugamori guy won!
**[11:24] Asaka**
Don't speak of him impolitely!
**[11:26] Opponent**
Seriously?!
**[11:31] Opponent**
You rotten skunk!
**[11:32] Opponent**
You couldn't win like that without cheating!
**[11:36] Asaka**
Ren is the one person who can
"win like that" without cheating.
**[11:43] Tetsu**
Fighters came to him.
**[11:44] Tetsu**
They were drawn to Ren, drawn by his strength.
**[11:48] Tetsu**
No one dared to rough him up anymore.
**[11:51] Tetsu**
These fighters became an organization,
**[11:54] Tetsu**
eventually taking on the name Team Asteroid.
**[11:57] Tetsu**
However...
**[12:01] Asaka**
Ren, if you're free, how about fighting me?
**[12:05] Ren**
Nah. There's no point in playing
against you, Asaka, when I'm sure to win.
**[12:09] Asaka**
Ren, you could speak the truth
perhaps a little more delicately...
**[12:15] Tetsu**
Ever since Ren mastered PSYqualia,
**[12:18] Tetsu**
no matter who he fought,
he'd never feel satisfied.
**[12:21] Tetsu**
So, in order to ease Ren's boredom...
**[12:29] Tetsu**
I have something for you, Ren.
**[12:31] Ren**
Oh, what's that?
**[12:33] Asaka**
Ren!
**[12:35] Tetsu**
Vanguard Fighter's Gloves,
or VF Gloves for short.
**[12:40] Ren**
VF Gloves...
**[12:42] Asaka**
What do you use them for?
**[12:43] Tetsu**
Vanguard, of course.
**[12:46] Ren**
They're used for Vanguard?
**[12:48] Tetsu**
Right.
**[12:49] Tetsu**
Using these will stimulate tension
and concentration during a Cardfight.
**[12:55] Ren**
I'll understand quicker
by actually using them in a fight.
**[12:58] Asaka**
Then I'll be your opponent.
**[13:03] Asaka**
Damage check.
**[13:13] Ren**
Asaka?
**[13:15] Ren**
Tetsu, what happened to her?
**[13:17] Tetsu**
When you fight while wearing VF Gloves,
**[13:20] Tetsu**
once they detect the movement
of placing a card in the Damage Zone,
**[13:23] Tetsu**
they deliver a painful electric shock.
**[13:26] Ren**
Why pain...?
**[13:27] Tetsu**
It represents the pain felt by your Vanguard.
**[13:30] Ren**
Huh?
**[13:31] Tetsu**
Putting on VF Gloves lets a fighter
become one with their Vanguard.
**[13:36] Ren**
But I already become one with my Vanguard,
even without using those.
**[13:44] Asaka**
These can let me get closer to Ren?!
**[13:49] Asaka**
I'll be fine.
**[13:51] Ren**
Can you continue?
**[13:53] Asaka**
Yes, Ren.
**[14:00] Ren**
Still, the design's cool!
**[14:06] Asaka**
My Vanguard attacks Blaster Dark!
**[14:10] Ren**
No guard.
**[14:11] Ren**
Drive check.
**[14:12] Ren**
No trigger.
**[14:15] Ren**
Damage check.
**[14:26] Asaka**
What about the pain, Ren?!
**[14:34] Ren**
I told you.
**[14:38] Ren**
When I'm fighting, I always
become one with my Vanguard.
**[14:43] Tetsu**
The unit in Ren's imagination feels the pain.
**[14:53] Tetsu**
That got me even more intrigued by PSYqualia.
**[14:57] Tetsu**
Under the pretext of leveling up,
**[14:58] Tetsu**
I made the gloves compulsory
for all Team Asteroid members.
**[15:01] Tetsu**
But no one other than Ren
ever exhibited PSYqualia.
**[15:10] Ren**
Huh? All the shops?
**[15:13] Tetsu**
Correct.
**[15:14] Tetsu**
If we wish to improve all fighters,
not just Team Asteroid,
**[15:19] Tetsu**
it's imperative that
outside fights also use VF Gloves.
**[15:23] Ren**
You think so?
**[15:25] Asaka**
Then I'll handle the logistics.
**[15:28] Tetsu**
And so, we dispatched members of
Team Asteroid to every shop.
**[15:33] Tetsu**
I continued my search for fighters
besides Ren who exhibited PSYqualia,
**[15:38] Tetsu**
but I never encountered any.
**[15:40] Tetsu**
I was starting to believe
that PSYqualia was unique to Ren.
**[15:45] Tetsu**
This fight should reveal whether it is or not.
**[15:48] Tetsu**
Let's find out.
**[15:51] Tetsu**
I ride!
**[15:58] Tetsu**
Werwolf Sieger!
**[16:02] Tetsu**
Furthermore, I call Blood Sacrifice, Ruthven!
**[16:07] Tetsu**
Its skill activates!
**[16:09] Tetsu**
I move Vroukalakas from
the Damage Zone to the Soul.
**[16:13] Tetsu**
In exchange, I put the top card
from my deck into the Damage Zone.
**[16:17] Tetsu**
Since I chose Vroukalakas, Countercharge!
**[16:20] Tetsu**
Putting Vroukalakas into the Soul
made my Vanguard gain +10,000 power!
**[16:29] Kamui**
It's 19,000?!
**[16:31] Kyou**
It's too soon to be surprised.
**[16:33] Kamui**
Huh?
**[16:34] Tetsu**
I call Prisoner Beast.
**[16:38] Tetsu**
Its skill activates!
**[16:40] Tetsu**
Soulcharge!
**[16:41] Aichi**
Now there are five cards in his Soul!
**[16:44] Tetsu**
That's right. Since there are
five cards in the Soul,
**[16:47] Tetsu**
Sieger gets +5000 power!
**[16:49] Kamui**
Now it's 24,000?!
**[16:51] Tetsu**
Prisoner Beast gets +2000 power!
**[16:53] Kamui**
That one has 10,000?!
**[16:57] Tetsu**
Here I come, Aichi Sendou!
**[16:59] Tetsu**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[17:02] Tetsu**
Skill activates!
**[17:03] Tetsu**
Soulcharge!
**[17:05] Kamui**
Even more cards into the Soul!
**[17:08] Aichi**
No guard.
**[17:10] Tetsu**
You don't fear the pain from the VF Gloves?
**[17:13] Tetsu**
I like your spirit.
**[17:15] Tetsu**
Drive check!
**[17:18] Tetsu**
Critical trigger!
**[17:19] Tetsu**
I give the power to Ruthven,
**[17:21] Tetsu**
and the extra critical to my Vanguard!
**[17:33] Tetsu**
Ruthven attacks your Vanguard,
boosted by Prisoner Beast!
**[17:39] Kyou**
Right now, Ruthven has 29,000 power!
**[17:50] Kamui**
3 damage all at once?!
**[17:52] Kyou**
Tch!
**[17:54] Tetsu**
My turn is over.
**[17:56] Aichi**
I ride!
**[17:59] Aichi**
Stand up, my avatar!
**[18:03] Aichi**
From the military force of planet Cray's
**[18:05] Aichi**
hallowed nation of United Sanctuary,
**[18:08] Aichi**
Royal Paladin's Sword of Light!
**[18:13] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[18:16] Kamui**
It's here!
**[18:18] Tetsu**
Oh?
**[18:19] Kyou**
Show me PSYqualia, Sendou!
**[18:23] Aichi**
Ability Blast!
**[18:27] Aichi**
Burst Buster!
**[18:36] Kamui**
All right!
**[18:37] Kamui**
For starters, he's made a unit retire!
**[18:39] Aichi**
Next...
**[18:40] Aichi**
I call Allen!
**[18:44] Aichi**
Allen's skill activates!
**[18:45] Aichi**
Counterblast!
**[18:49] Aichi**
I superior call Gallatin!
**[18:51] Aichi**
Allen gets +3000 power!
**[18:54] Aichi**
With its skill, I draw one card!
**[18:57] Aichi**
Here I go!
**[19:00] Aichi**
Blaster Blade attacks your Vanguard!
**[19:06] Aichi**
Drive check!
**[19:07] Kamui**
Too bad! No trigger!
**[19:15] Kamui**
Now he has 2 damage!
**[19:18] Aichi**
Gallatin attacks your Vanguard
with a boost from Allen!
**[19:22] Tetsu**
No trigger.
**[19:30] Kamui**
That makes 3 damage!
**[19:32] Kamui**
You can do this, Brother Aichi!
**[19:35] Aichi**
My turn is over.
**[19:37] Tetsu**
My turn!
**[19:38] Tetsu**
Stand and draw!
**[19:41] Tetsu**
Hmph.
**[19:43] Tetsu**
He's been playing normally so far.
**[19:45] Tetsu**
He hasn't shown me even a glimpse of PSYqualia.
**[19:49] Tetsu**
Unlike Ren, he seems unable to control it.
**[19:52] Tetsu**
Here I come, Aichi Sendou!
**[19:56] Kyou**
Here it comes!
**[19:57] Kamui**
Huh?
**[19:59] Tetsu**
I ride!
**[20:01] Tetsu**
I summon the king of the undead!
**[20:09] Blaster**
Be on guard!
**[20:29] Tetsu**
No Life King, Death Anchor!
**[20:39] Aichi**
No Life King, Death Anchor...
**[20:46] Blaster**
Be on guard.
**[20:47] Blaster**
Be on guard!
**[20:51] Kamui**
What's wrong, Brother Aichi?!
**[20:53] Aichi**
N-Nothing. I'm fine.
**[20:57] Tetsu**
It seems Kyou really was telling the truth.
**[21:02] Tetsu**
He's exhibiting PSYqualia.
**[21:06] Tetsu**
Now we're getting to the real battle!
**[21:12] Tetsu**
Show me your PSYqualia, Aichi Sendou!
**[21:21] Miwa**
So this is the Team Asteroid hideout?
**[21:28] Miwa**
All right, fine. I should be used to it by now.
**[21:31] Miwa**
You never do explain anything to me...
**[23:10] Asaka**
Hey, Kawanami...
**[23:11] Kawanami**
Woof woof!
**[23:12] Asaka**
Which clan do you use, again?
**[23:14] Kawanami**
Woof arf woof woof!
**[23:15] Asaka**
Oh, Megacolony. Why?
**[23:17] Kawanami**
Woof woof!
**[23:18] Kawanami**
Woof woof! Woof ruff woof woof arf woof!
**[23:21] Kawanami**
Woof ahwooooo!
**[23:22] Kawanami**
Ahwooo!
**[23:24] Asaka**
Aww, who's a good boy?
**[23:25] Tetsu**
Asaka...
**[23:26] Asaka**
Good boy!
**[23:27] Tetsu**
Asaka!
**[23:28] Asaka**
What is it, Tetsu?
**[23:29] Tetsu**
Do you really understand
what Kawanami is saying?
**[23:32] Asaka**
You mean you can't, Tetsu?
**[23:34] Tetsu**
D-Don't tell me...

**[00:14] Tetsu**
No Life King, Death Anchor!
**[00:21] Aichi**
No Life King, Death Anchor...
**[00:28] Blaster**
Be on guard.
**[00:29] Blaster**
Be on guard!
**[00:35] Tetsu**
Show me your PSYqualia, Aichi Sendou!
**[00:43] Aichi**
Huh?
**[00:44] Aichi**
What do you mean by, "be on guard"?
**[00:48] Tetsu**
Come to me!
**[00:49] Tetsu**
Doreen the Thruster!
**[00:51] Tetsu**
Gwynn the Ripper!
**[00:54] Tetsu**
Skill activates!
**[00:56] Tetsu**
Soul charge!
**[00:58] Tetsu**
Is this any time to be distracted?!
**[01:03] Aichi**
Gallatin!
**[01:04] Tetsu**
Next will be...
**[01:06] Tetsu**
...you!
**[01:09] Unit**
Leave it to me!
**[01:11] Aichi**
Iseult!
**[01:13] Tetsu**
But I got a critical trigger.
**[01:15] Tetsu**
I entrust it to Gwynn the Ripper!
**[01:18] Blaster**
Be on guard.
**[01:22] Aichi**
Against that?
**[01:27] Aichi**
No Life King, Death Anchor...
**[01:30] Aichi**
Grade 3... 12,000 power...
**[01:34] Kamui**
B-Brother Aichi?
**[01:36] Aichi**
Twin drive... Imaginary Gift is Protect...
**[01:40] Blaster**
Be on guard...
**[01:42] Blaster**
...my Vanguard!
**[01:46] Aichi**
Something's coming!
**[01:49] Tetsu**
Go, Gwynn!
**[01:50] Tetsu**
Together with Prisoner Beast!
**[02:02] Kamui**
Careful!
**[02:06] Kyou**
That wasn't even the final blow, so why...?
**[02:10] Kyou**
What's going on here?!
**[02:12] Tetsu**
His resonance has been amplified.
**[02:15] Tetsu**
In other words...
**[02:16] Tetsu**
Aichi Sendou is experiencing
his units' damage as if it were his own.
**[02:21] Kyou**
If that's true, then maybe...
**[02:26] Tetsu**
Haven't you noticed?
**[02:28] Tetsu**
For the past few minutes,
**[02:30] Tetsu**
he's been exhibiting PSYqualia.
***SIGN*** Image 20 Reunion
**[04:13] Kyou**
What do you mean, Tetsu?!
**[04:15] Kyou**
This never happens to Ren!
**[04:17] Tetsu**
That's because Ren has
total control over his PSYqualia.
**[04:22] Kamui**
Then would ya explain it to me?!
***SIGN*** Psy-Casserole
**[04:25] Kamui**
Since yesterday, this guy's been irritating me
with his talk about that "psy-casserole" stuff!
**[04:30] Kyou**
It's PSYqualia.
**[04:33] Tetsu**
How much information
can you learn from a card?
**[04:38] Kamui**
That's obvious.
**[04:39] Kamui**
Grade, power, shield, special abilities...
**[04:43] Kamui**
And, uh...
**[04:45] Tetsu**
It's different for someone with PSYqualia.
**[04:48] Tetsu**
When his PSYqualia manifests...
**[04:52] Tetsu**
...it greatly amplifies his resonance,
and creates a cognitive breakthrough.
**[04:59] Tetsu**
This means that...
**[05:01] Tetsu**
In addition to cognitive expansion
and increased sensitivity,
**[05:04] Tetsu**
he also gains powerful intuition and insight,
**[05:08] Tetsu**
as well as linkages to the residents of
the planet Cray depicted on the cards,
**[05:12] Tetsu**
and even the capability
to predict the flow of the fight.
**[05:18] Aichi**
I don't know whether or not
I actually have that ability.
**[05:24] Aichi**
But I do know that this fight
is one I can't afford to lose!
**[05:29] Aichi**
I ride!
**[05:30] Aichi**
The master of paladins!
**[05:35] Aichi**
King of Knights, Alfred!
**[05:42] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[05:47] Aichi**
Attend me, Blaster Blade!
**[05:51] Blaster**
Yes, my Vanguard.
**[05:58] Blaster**
This opponent is dangerous.
**[06:00] Blaster**
Be on guard!
**[06:01] Aichi**
I understand.
**[06:03] Aichi**
But I don't know what to do about it.
**[06:06] Aichi**
Knight Squire, Allen!
**[06:07] Aichi**
Knight of Silence, Gallatin!
**[06:10] Gallatin**
No problem!
**[06:12] Aichi**
For now, all we can do is attack!
**[06:15] Tetsu**
Guard! Vroukalakas!
**[06:19] Tetsu**
Skill activates! Soul charge!
**[06:22] Aichi**
Now I'll go!
**[06:30] Kamui**
That makes 5 damage!
**[06:31] Kyou**
But Tetsu has...
**[06:33] Blaster**
I'll finish you off!
**[06:35] Tetsu**
Protect activates!
**[06:45] Tetsu**
I haven't told you my request yet.
**[06:47] Aichi**
Request?
**[06:49] Tetsu**
If you win, we'll stop fighting with VF Gloves.
**[06:53] Tetsu**
But if I win,
**[06:56] Tetsu**
I want you to tell me
what Vanguard means to you.
**[07:01] Tetsu**
Is that a problem?
**[07:03] Aichi**
No.
**[07:04] Aichi**
I accept.
**[07:07] Aichi**
What Vanguard means to me...
**[07:11] Asteroid A**
Who the heck are you guys?
**[07:14] Miwa**
Nobody whose names you deserve to hear.
**[07:16] Asteroid A**
What?!
**[07:17] Kai**
I'm here to see Ren. Take me to him.
**[07:21] Asteroid D**
To see Ren?
**[07:22] Asteroid B**
You guys know our rule, don't ya?
**[07:25] Kai**
Winners get all.
**[07:27] Miwa**
Losers get lost!
**[07:28] Kai**
We just have to beat all of you, right?!
**[07:32] Miwa**
Count me in!
**[07:34] Tetsu**
Prisoner Beast!
**[07:36] Tetsu**
Blood Sacrifice, Ruthven!
**[07:39] Tetsu**
Skill activates! Soul charge!
**[07:47] Blaster**
He's accumulating power.
**[07:49] Aichi**
I know, but...
**[07:52] Tetsu**
This is where your countdown to defeat begins.
**[08:02] Aichi**
Gallatin!
**[08:06] Elaine**
Look out!
**[08:06] Wingal**
My Vanguard!
**[08:08] Aichi**
Elaine! Wingal!
**[08:13] Tetsu**
All conditions have now been met.
**[08:16] Tetsu**
There are 13 cards in the Soul.
**[08:19] Tetsu**
I place one card from my hand,
along with three rear-guards, into the Soul.
**[08:26] Tetsu**
Skill activates!
**[08:29] Tetsu**
Once again, I summon the king of the undead!
**[08:36] Tetsu**
I ride!
**[08:39] Tetsu**
No Life King, Death Anchor!
**[08:43] Kamui**
He's riding No Life King, Death Anchor again?!
**[08:46] Kyou**
It's really powerful!
**[08:48] Kyou**
With 18 cards in the Soul,
as well as triggers...
**[08:52] Kyou**
That's a total of...
**[08:54] Kamui**
How much?!
**[08:55] Kyou**
A huge amount!
**[08:57] Aichi**
So this is what I was warned about.
**[09:01] Tetsu**
Death Anchor will now bring about your doom.
**[09:04] Tetsu**
Breakdown Death Breath!
**[09:14] Kamui**
Brother Aichi!
**[09:20] Tetsu**
Aichi Sendou.
**[09:22] Tetsu**
Your PSYqualia falls far short of Ren's.
**[09:27] Aichi**
Ren...
**[09:37] Voice A**
I'm next!
**[09:38] Voice B**
You punk!
**[09:39] Asaka**
It's so noisy.
**[09:41] Asaka**
What's going on out there?
**[09:43] Asaka**
You go look.
**[09:45] Kawanami**
Woof, Asaka!
**[09:49] Kai**
Here's where I finish you off!
**[09:51] Miwa**
Bring it on!
**[09:53] Kawanami**
Those guys are...
**[09:57] Kawanami**
Oh my gosh!
**[09:59] Kawanami**
Asaka!
**[10:00] Asaka**
What's wrong?
**[10:02] Kawanami**
It's him...
**[10:03] Kawanami**
Toshiki Kai is here!
**[10:06] Asaka**
What did you say?!
**[10:08] Asaka**
And it's while Ren's away...
**[10:11] Asaka**
Just where is he?!
**[10:18] Ren**
Huh?
**[10:21] Ren**
Did I maybe take a wrong turn someplace?
**[10:37] Kamui**
Brother Aichi! Brother Aichi!
**[10:42] Kamui**
Thank goodness, you've come to!
**[10:45] Kyou**
After that big fainting scene...
**[10:47] Kyou**
Don't scare us like that!
**[10:49] Aichi**
Kamui...
**[10:51] Aichi**
Kyou...
**[10:55] Aichi**
I see. I lost, didn't I.
**[11:01] Tetsu**
Do you remember my request?
**[11:05] Tetsu**
What does Vanguard mean to you?
**[11:10] Tetsu**
What's your reason for fighting?
**[11:12] Tetsu**
Why do you want to win?
**[11:16] Aichi**
To me, Vanguard is all about "relationships."
**[11:22] Aichi**
With Kamui...
**[11:25] Aichi**
With Morikawa, and Miwa...
**[11:27] Aichi**
With Misaki, and Shin...
**[11:30] Aichi**
With everyone at Voyage...
**[11:33] Aichi**
Even with the members of
Team Asteroid I met yesterday and today.
**[11:40] Aichi**
But most of all...
**[11:43] Aichi**
...with Kai.
**[11:45] Aichi**
It's what let me become friends with Kai.
**[11:48] Tetsu**
Did you say, "Kai"?!
**[11:51] Aichi**
Before Vanguard...
**[11:54] Aichi**
...I never thought I was worth anything.
**[12:00] Aichi**
But now...
**[12:02] Aichi**
...during my Vanguard fights,
I can feel confident in myself.
**[12:06] Aichi**
I'm able to think that my life has some value.
**[12:14] Aichi**
That's why...
**[12:17] Tetsu**
You have a lot in common with Ren.
**[12:21] Tetsu**
And with Kai, too.
**[12:22] Aichi**
Huh?
**[12:24] Tetsu**
You expressed yourself admirably.
**[12:26] Tetsu**
You have my gratitude, Aichi Sendou.
**[12:29] Kyou**
Hey, Tetsu!
**[12:33] Kyou**
Hey, wait!
**[12:35] Kyou**
You're just gonna leave?!
**[12:37] Kyou**
But he has PSYqualia!
**[12:40] Kyou**
Doesn't that make him
an important research subject?!
**[12:43] Tetsu**
Of course he's important.
**[12:45] Tetsu**
But Sendou hasn't yet perfected his PSYqualia.
**[12:49] Tetsu**
Now is the time to wait for it to develop.
**[12:52] Kyou**
And that's all?!
**[12:54] Tetsu**
As long as he continues to play Vanguard,
**[12:57] Tetsu**
we won't lose sight of him.
**[13:00] Tetsu**
One thing I can tell you...
**[13:02] Tetsu**
You won't be able to gain PSYqualia
just from observing Sendou fight.
**[13:14] Ren**
This isn't the place, is it?
**[13:18] Kamui**
Hang in there, Brother Aichi.
**[13:22] Ren**
Are you okay, boy?
**[13:26] Aichi**
S-Sorry.
**[13:29] Ren**
It's all right. Go on, grab my arm.
**[13:32] Aichi**
Th-Thank you.
**[13:40] Aichi**
S-Sorry about that.
**[13:42] Ren**
No, it's fine.
**[13:44] Ren**
Oh, right.
**[13:46] Ren**
Is there another card shop around here?
**[13:49] Aichi**
What's the name of the shop?
**[13:50] Ren**
Unfortunately, I forgot the name already...
**[13:54] Ren**
I've been there once before,
so I'd probably recognize it again...
**[13:59] Kamui**
Then why not come with us?
**[14:01] Kamui**
We're heading to a shop called Card Capital.
**[14:05] Ren**
Now that sounds like a great plan!
**[14:17] Tetsu**
Up until now, I'd thought PSYqualia
might be obtainable via an external stimulus.
**[14:25] Tetsu**
That's the reason why...
**[14:29] Kyou**
Why you invented the VF Gloves?
**[14:32] Tetsu**
However, after hearing
what Sendou said back there,
**[14:36] Tetsu**
I now believe that the key is
more likely to be an internal factor.
**[14:42] Kyou**
What do you mean?
**[14:44] Tetsu**
Put simply,
**[14:46] Tetsu**
when somethings happens
to break through a person's shell,
**[14:50] Tetsu**
that stimulus may cause them to become
receptive to sensations from a different realm.
**[14:57] Tetsu**
That's what I mean.
**[14:59] Kyou**
That wasn't simple at all!
**[15:03] Tetsu**
Essentially, no matter how long
you may pursue Ren or Sendou,
**[15:08] Tetsu**
you can never reach PSYqualia.
**[15:14] Tetsu**
Even so...
**[15:16] Tetsu**
Both Ren Suzugamori and Aichi Sendou...
**[15:18] Tetsu**
Is it mere coincidence that Toshiki Kai
is connected to their "awakenings"? Or is it...
**[15:27] Tetsu**
It's me.
**[15:30] Tetsu**
What?! Kai?!
**[15:42] Asteroid C**
He's too strong...
**[15:44] Asteroid B**
He's a monster.
**[15:45] Asteroid D**
There's no way I can beat him...
**[15:50] Kai**
Who's next?
**[15:56] Kamui**
We're here, Brother Aichi.
**[15:59] Ren**
Oh, right.
**[16:01] Ren**
I'm pretty sure this was the shop.
**[16:05] Ren**
Misa-Q!
**[16:07] Misaki**
You!
**[16:08] Misaki**
Get away from him!
**[16:09] Kamui**
Wh-What're ya doing, Misaki?!
**[16:13] Aichi**
He helped me to get here.
**[16:16] Ren**
That's right, Misa-Q.
**[16:18] Misaki**
Don't give me some creepy nickname!
**[16:21] Misaki**
Listen, Aichi! This guy...
**[16:23] Misaki**
...is Ren Suzugamori!
**[16:25] Misaki**
He's the boss of Team Asteroid!
**[16:28] Kamui**
Say what?!
**[16:29] Kamui**
A scatterbrain like him
is the boss of Team Asteroid?!
**[16:33] Aichi**
Then the "Ren" that
Kyou and Tetsu mentioned...
**[16:37] Ren**
Yeah, I'd say they were referring to me.
**[16:41] Misaki**
What did you come here for?!
**[16:43] Misaki**
Kai isn't here today.
**[16:45] Ren**
He's not?
**[16:47] Ren**
That's a bummer.
**[16:51] Aichi**
Ren...
**[16:52] Aichi**
You know Kai?
**[16:55] Ren**
Of course. I know him well.
**[16:58] Ren**
I aspire to be like Kai,
**[17:01] Ren**
and we used to be friends
united by our devotion to Vanguard.
**[17:06] Aichi**
Friends?
**[17:09] Ren**
Back then...
**[17:12] Ren**
...he was known as the "Solitary Fighter."
**[17:17] Ren**
Waves of confident fighters
would come to challenge Kai,
**[17:25] Ren**
but not a single one was a match for him.
**[17:29] Ren**
That included me.
**[17:32] Ren**
To me, Toshiki Kai was
the epitome of "strength."
**[17:38] Ren**
But he was too strong.
**[17:41] Ren**
Everyone grew sick of
Kai's overwhelming strength.
**[17:44] Ren**
Until eventually...
**[17:48] Ren**
...there was nobody left
who'd challenge him to a serious fight.
**[17:56] Ren**
I came here to rescue Kai.
**[17:59] Ren**
To give him the serious fight
that he's always wanted...
**[18:02] Ren**
...I acquired a "power" that surpasses his.
**[18:11] Kai**
What's wrong?
**[18:12] Kai**
Are we done already?
**[18:15] Miwa**
Kai, you're...
**[18:17] Asaka**
Me.
**[18:19] Asaka**
I'll fight you, Toshiki Kai.
**[18:21] Miwa**
Hey, that Asaka girl!
**[18:24] Kai**
Who?
**[18:25] Miwa**
She's the one who beat me yesterday!
**[18:28] Asaka**
I'm Asaka Narumi of Team Asteroid's AL4.
**[18:33] Asaka**
Allow me to guide you to our special room.
**[18:48] Tetsu**
So his fight with Asaka is about to begin...
**[18:51] Kyou**
That's Toshiki Kai,
the guy Ren was looking for!
**[18:55] Asaka**
You're not worthy of saying Ren's name!
**[18:57] Asaka**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[18:57] Kai**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[19:02] Aichi**
Sorry for having you walk me
to the station too, Misaki.
**[19:06] Misaki**
I was going to go shopping near there, anyway.
**[19:08] Ren**
You're so kind, Misa-Q.
**[19:10] Misaki**
Shut up!
**[19:12] Ren**
Still, it's unfortunate.
**[19:15] Ren**
That I didn't get to see Kai...
**[19:17] Kamui**
Kai's no big whoop!
**[19:20] Kamui**
Why, Brother Aichi here has beat 'im before.
**[19:23] Aichi**
K-Kamui!
**[19:27] Ren**
Is that true?
**[19:28] Aichi**
Y-Yes...
**[19:30] Aichi**
But just once.
**[19:34] Ren**
I'm now extremely
interested in you, Aichi Sendou.
**[19:41] Kawanami**
I'm positive.
**[19:42] Kawanami**
Ren's scent is this way!
**[19:48] Ren**
Huh?
**[19:49] Kawanami**
Woof!
**[19:50] Kawanami**
I have a message!
**[19:51] Kawanami**
Master Ren, please return right away!
**[19:53] Kawanami**
Toshiki Kai has shown up at headquarters!
**[20:01] Ren**
Shall we go there, Aichi?
**[20:05] Aichi**
Huh?
**[20:10] Kai**
I just can't get into the game
with opponents like that.
**[20:14] Miwa**
You never do go easy on anyone.
**[20:20] Asaka**
To think Toshiki Kai was this strong...
**[20:25] Kyou**
What is this guy?!
**[20:32] Asaka**
I lost... again...
**[20:36] Asaka**
Now I'll never be able to stay by Ren's side...
**[20:42] Tetsu**
You need greater diligence.
**[20:49] Tetsu**
I never expected to see you here.
**[20:52] Tetsu**
What do you want?
**[20:53] Kai**
I'm annoyed about all the members of
Team Asteroid hanging around my neighborhood.
**[20:59] Tetsu**
Honestly. You're something else.
**[21:02] Tetsu**
By the way, I ran into an interesting fighter today.
**[21:06] Kai**
It's rare to hear you
call anyone "interesting."
**[21:10] Tetsu**
He's still inexperienced, though.
**[21:12] Tetsu**
His name is Aichi Sendou.
**[21:16] Kai**
What?!
**[21:17] Ren**
My, what's this?
**[21:19] Ren**
I never thought you'd be the one to come to me.
**[21:27] Ren**
Long time no see, Kai.
**[23:10] Miwa**
Kai and Ren finally meet again!
**[23:12] Miwa**
All of Team Q4 and AL4 are present, too!
**[23:14] Miwa**
But who's gonna fight whom?!
**[23:16] Miwa**
The favorite is Kai vs. Ren!
Current odds are 1.3!
**[23:19] Miwa**
The rival is Ren vs. Aichi,
with current odds 2.0!
**[23:22] Miwa**
And we can't discount the prospect
of a Q4 versus AL4 team battle!
**[23:25] Miwa**
The dark horse is that
we have a big BBQ party instead!
**[23:28] Miwa**
It seems totally unlikely,
which makes it all the more possible!
**[23:31] Miwa**
Or will Kawanami's powers awaken
and beat everybody?
**[23:34] Miwa**
All right, place your bets!

**[00:01] Ren**
I've been looking forward
to this for a long time.
**[00:05] Ren**
A very long time...
**[00:11] Asaka**
Ren's greatest wish is about to come true!
**[00:13] Tetsu**
Yes. Ren himself is going up
against the Solitary Fighter, Toshiki Kai.
**[00:27] Aichi**
Vanguard.
**[00:28] Aichi**
It's a card game in which you yourself
become the vanguard and fight!
**[00:33] Kai**
Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!
***SIGN*** Image 21 Abyss of Darkness
**[02:17] Ren**
Kai.
**[02:18] Ren**
Why did you leave us without saying anything?
**[02:21] Kai**
You guys were the ones
who chose to hang around me.
**[02:25] Kai**
I didn't owe you any notice.
**[02:28] Ren**
What a pity.
**[02:29] Ren**
Here I thought I was the only one
**[02:32] Ren**
who understood your
feelings of isolation, and vice versa.
**[02:36] Kai**
Isolation?
**[02:39] Ren**
I understand it well.
**[02:41] Ren**
I longed to be perfect like you,
**[02:43] Ren**
which is why I eventually reached
the pinnacle of Cardfighting, like you.
**[02:49] Ren**
So I understand your isolation.
**[02:52] Ren**
I understand being sick of your own strength,
**[02:55] Ren**
and yet feeling that the only thing to do
is keep seeking out strong opponents.
**[03:01] Ren**
It was hard on you, wasn't it?
**[03:04] Ren**
I thought the only one who
could save you from that isolation
**[03:08] Ren**
was someone in the same position: me.
**[03:11] Ren**
And yet...
**[03:16] Ren**
...is it true that you lost?
**[03:19] Ren**
To that boy...
**[03:21] Ren**
To Aichi Sendou?!
**[03:24] Kai**
Aichi...
**[03:28] Kai**
Yeah.
**[03:36] Kai**
I lost to Aichi.
**[03:45] Kai**
Aichi...
**[03:46] Aichi**
Kai, Miwa...
**[03:49] Miwa**
What's wrong?
**[03:52] Aichi**
Nothing. I just lost a fight earlier...
**[03:57] Kamui**
Hey!
**[03:59] Kamui**
It's him! He's the guy who beat Aichi!
**[04:02] Kai**
Tetsu...
**[04:04] Tetsu**
So you've already met Ren, Aichi Sendou...
**[04:07] Tetsu**
Could this also be fate?
**[04:10] Aichi**
Huh?
**[04:12] Tetsu**
Both of you possess PSYqualia.
It's as if you were drawn to each other.
**[04:16] Miwa**
Wha...?!
**[04:17] Kai**
It can't be!
**[04:18] Kai**
Aichi...
**[04:19] Kai**
Do you really have PSYqualia?!
**[04:22] Aichi**
U-Um, I'm not really sure,
**[04:25] Aichi**
but sometimes,
during a fight, I hear a voice...
**[04:29] Blaster**
My Vanguard.
**[04:32] Aichi**
...and then suddenly,
Blaster Blade is standing right before me.
**[04:36] Aichi**
He's there to guide me.
**[04:39] Aichi**
That's the image I have of it.
**[04:41] Kai**
Throw away your cards, Aichi!
**[04:46] Kai**
That power will alter you.
**[04:48] Kai**
Throw away your cards
and never fight again!
**[04:51] Aichi**
No!
**[05:02] Aichi**
No, I can't throw them away.
**[05:06] Aichi**
If I did that...
**[05:08] Aichi**
I'd go back to the way I used to be.
**[05:13] Aichi**
Back to being all alone, with nothing at all.
**[05:21] Aichi**
I don't want to be like that again!
**[05:26] Kamui**
Brother Aichi...
**[05:31] Ren**
Of course he can't throw them away.
**[05:36] Ren**
He can't, and neither can I.
**[05:39] Ren**
Not even you, who severed all ties,
**[05:42] Ren**
could throw away your cards, right?
**[05:45] Ren**
Vanguard is all we have.
**[05:48] Ren**
Yes. All we have is the world
that's guided by Vanguard fights.
**[05:56] Aichi**
The world guided by Vanguard...
**[06:01] Ren**
And as for who should stand
atop the summit of that world...
**[06:10] Aichi**
Kai...
**[06:12] Ren**
Kai, even now, I still can't believe...
**[06:16] Ren**
...that you lost to a boy like him.
**[06:21] Ren**
Stand up, Aichi Sendou.
**[06:24] Ren**
Join me in a Vanguard fight.
**[06:28] Ren**
If we fight, then I'll be able to tell
whether you truly gained victory over Kai.
**[06:35] Ren**
Come...
**[06:40] Kai**
Don't get me wrong, Ren.
**[06:43] Ren**
Kai...
**[06:45] Kai**
Sure, I lost to Aichi.
**[06:47] Kai**
But that was in order to teach him Vanguard.
**[06:50] Kai**
I wasn't fighting him earnestly.
**[06:52] Aichi**
Huh?
**[06:53] Kamui**
What're ya talking about?!
**[06:54] Misaki**
Wait.
**[06:56] Kamui**
But...
**[07:00] Kai**
Ren, your objective
is to gain absolute victory.
**[07:05] Kai**
Shouldn't you be challenging me,
the one person you've never beaten?
**[07:10] Kai**
There's no need for you to do it indirectly.
**[07:13] Kai**
I'll fight you.
**[07:18] Ren**
You'll fight me?
**[07:20] Ren**
Now, don't you get me wrong.
**[07:23] Ren**
I came here to save you.
**[07:26] Ren**
Poor you, all isolated and
unable to have any serious fights.
**[07:32] Ren**
I'll save you by using my power: PSYqualia.
**[07:37] Ren**
Then I'll have achieved perfection.
**[07:42] Ren**
That is my greatest wish...
**[07:46] Ren**
Absolute victory.
**[07:49] Kai**
You think you've surpassed me,
by using that power?
**[07:52] Ren**
Fight me and you'll see.
**[07:55] Kai**
Then let's go!
**[07:59] The Two**
Vanguard fight!
**[08:17] Aichi**
Kai...
**[08:19] The Two**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[08:22] Kai**
I ride Lizard Runner, Undeux!
**[08:25] Ren**
I ride Fullbau!
**[08:33] Kai**
I ride Embodiment of Armor, Bahr!
**[08:42] Kai**
Lizard Runner, Undeux's skill. I draw one card.
**[08:47] Kai**
My turn is over.
**[09:10] Ren**
It's my turn. I draw.
**[09:14] Asaka**
Ren...
**[09:15] Kyou**
He's humming, at a time like this?!
**[09:17] Tetsu**
It's because it's a time like this.
**[09:34] Tetsu**
Ren has been looking
forward to this for a long time.
**[09:38] Tetsu**
To the one thing that
could relieve his boredom...
**[09:43] Tetsu**
He's longed for a fight
with Toshiki Kai, above all else.
**[09:51] Ren**
All right. I'll ride you.
**[09:55] Ren**
Blaster Javelin.
**[09:59] Ren**
Fullbau's skill activates.
**[10:02] Ren**
Blaster Javelin attacks your Vanguard!
**[10:07] Kai**
No guard!
**[10:14] Ren**
My turn is over.
**[10:24] Kai**
I ride Bellicosity Dragon!
**[10:37] Kai**
Breath of Fire!
**[10:50] Aichi**
But he took damage...
**[10:52] Tetsu**
Ren no longer feels pain.
**[10:55] Tetsu**
Neither suffering nor pleasure.
**[10:57] Tetsu**
Well...
**[10:59] Tetsu**
Maybe he does feel pleasure, now.
**[11:03] Ren**
This really brings back memories, Kai.
**[11:06] Ren**
I'm in a wonderful mood.
**[11:11] Kai**
My turn is over.
**[11:13] Kamui**
What's wrong, Brother Aichi?
**[11:15] Aichi**
Oh, it's just...
**[11:17] Aichi**
Kai doesn't seem like his usual self.
**[11:24] Miwa**
It's as if Kai has gone back
to the way he used to be.
**[11:31] Miwa**
Well, it's complicated...
**[11:34] Miwa**
But back when I saw him with Ren,
he was in a really terrible state.
**[11:39] Miwa**
So it's probably coming back to him now...
**[11:42] Miwa**
The time when strength
was all that mattered to him.
**[11:46] Aichi**
Kai...
**[11:47] Misaki**
Knowing Kai, he should be okay.
**[11:51] Miwa**
What do you mean, Misaki?
**[11:53] Misaki**
Since Aichi's in no shape to fight now,
Kai was acting to protect him,
**[11:58] Misaki**
by making it sound like
Aichi's far below Ren's level.
**[12:01] Kamui**
You think so?
**[12:03] Misaki**
I can't be sure, but I doubt
that he was like this back then.
**[12:09] Miwa**
Misaki...
**[12:10] Aichi**
You're right. This is the Kai we know now.
**[12:16] Kamui**
Well, if you two are so sure,
then I guess I'll believe in him, too.
**[12:22] Miwa**
Kai...
**[12:24] Miwa**
There are people here
who feel that way about you now.
**[12:28] Miwa**
So I'll also have faith that
you're not the guy you used to be.
**[12:41] Ren**
I guess you'll have to be
the one to take the lead.
**[12:46] Kai**
Is it coming?
**[12:52] Ren**
Ride The Vanguard!
**[12:56] Ren**
The vanguard of darkness...
**[13:05] Ren**
Blaster Dark.
**[13:09] Aichi**
S-So that's Blaster Dark...
**[13:12] Aichi**
It really does look just like my Blaster Blade.
**[13:16] Kai**
Blaster Dark...
**[13:18] Ren**
Yes. The jet-black knight who
will lead you to the abyss of darkness.
**[13:23] Ren**
So...
**[13:25] Ren**
Now it begins.
**[13:31] Tetsu**
His PSYqualia is manifesting?
**[13:34] Aichi**
So this is...
**[13:35] Kai**
Ren...
**[13:37] Ren**
Here I come, Kai.
**[13:45] Ren**
Let's battle with everything we have.
**[13:59] Aichi**
So this is PSYqualia...
**[14:05] Ren**
I call.
**[14:09] Ren**
Denizens of the shadows,
our adversary lies before us.
**[14:15] Ren**
Attend me.
**[14:22] Tetsu**
Ren's Blaster Dark has a skill
that gives it an extra drive.
**[14:27] Tetsu**
How will he handle it?
**[14:30] Ren**
Subjugate him.
**[14:30] Units**
No problem!
**[14:33] Kai**
Guardians, protect me!
**[14:42] Kai**
Flame of Hope, Aermo!
**[14:52] Kai**
Embodiment of Spear, Tahr!
**[15:00] Ren**
Take this.
**[15:05] Ren**
Drive check.
**[15:11] Ren**
I can see... everything.
**[15:17] Kamui**
A critical trigger?!
**[15:19] Miwa**
I-Incredible!
**[15:20] Miwa**
He drew a trigger!
**[15:22] Miwa**
So that's PSYqualia!
**[15:24] Tetsu**
You're mistaken.
**[15:26] Tetsu**
Drawing triggers is not
the essence of PSYqualia.
**[15:30] Ren**
Blaster Burst.
**[15:39] Ren**
Now it's your turn.
**[15:42] Ren**
But I can see everything.
**[15:45] Ren**
Even the image of your defeat.
**[15:49] Kai**
The image, huh?
**[15:51] Kai**
Ren...
**[15:52] Kai**
Even though we're fighting together,
**[15:55] Kai**
we're looking at completely different things.
**[15:58] Kai**
It's just like we were back then.
**[16:01] Kai**
Even when we were together,
we were heading in different directions.
**[16:05] Kai**
I sought serious fights.
**[16:07] Kai**
All you wanted was victory.
**[16:10] Kai**
And that's how you came upon PSYqualia.
**[16:17] Kai**
Is that power real or fake?
You can use me as your benchmark!
**[16:23] Kai**
Ride The Vanguard!
**[16:36] Kai**
Dance, Flames of Apocalypse!
**[16:44] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord!
**[16:53] Miwa**
All right! Here it comes!
**[16:55] Kyou**
That's Toshiki Kai's Dragonic Overlord...
**[17:01] Ren**
I know. I'm counting on you.
**[17:07] Kai**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[17:12] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord gets +10,000 power!
**[17:15] Kai**
And then I call!
**[17:17] Kai**
Follow me!
**[17:18] Kai**
Lizard Soldier, Raopia
and Dragon Knight, Nehalem!
**[17:23] Units**
At your will!
**[17:25] Kai**
Burn the servants of darkness to ashes!
**[17:32] Kai**
Dragon Knight, Nehalem gets +5000 power.
**[17:35] Kai**
Furthermore, Lizard Soldier, Raopia's skill.
**[17:42] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord's skill!
**[17:44] Kai**
+10,000 power!
**[17:46] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord... Eternal Flame!
**[17:50] Arianrhod**
My Vanguard, allow us...
**[17:53] Ren**
Yeah.
**[17:54] Ren**
I'm counting on you.
**[18:07] Miwa**
There's no way he can
block that with just three units!
**[18:10] Miwa**
Ram 'im, Kai!
**[18:13] Kai**
Twin drive.
**[18:15] Kai**
First check.
**[18:17] Kai**
Second check!
**[18:22] Misaki**
No trigger!
**[18:24] Aichi**
Even with the Imaginary Gift bonus,
Kai's attack still got blocked!
**[18:29] Miwa**
He didn't just block it.
**[18:31] Aichi**
Huh?
**[18:32] Miwa**
Ren was so certain that Kai wouldn't
draw any triggers to raise his power...
**[18:38] Miwa**
...that he played the ideal hand,
without wasting any extra units.
**[18:44] Ren**
Looks like your Overlord's
power-up skill went to waste, too.
**[18:49] Kai**
Nehalem attacks your Vanguard!
**[18:52] Ren**
Yes, I know.
**[18:54] Ren**
I'll just take this one.
**[19:03] Ren**
Yes, there it is!
That's the expression I wanted to see.
**[19:11] Miwa**
He's got Kai on the ropes?!
**[19:13] Miwa**
I don't believe it!
**[19:16] Ren**
Now do you understand, Kai?
**[19:19] Ren**
You can't deny the future that
my units have whispered to me about.
**[19:24] Ren**
And now...
**[19:25] Ren**
...you see how magnificent my power is.
**[19:30] Kai**
My turn's over.
**[19:32] Ren**
Stand and draw.
**[19:38] Ren**
Let's go with you.
**[19:40] Ren**
Lurking deep within the shadow palace,
**[19:42] Ren**
one who rules those beyond the bounds of law...
**[19:47] Ren**
Ride The Vanguard.
**[20:30] Ren**
The Dark Dictator.
**[20:38] Aichi**
A dark Alfred!
**[20:45] Ren**
Imaginary Gift, Force.
**[20:51] Asaka**
That gives Ren's Dark Dictator +10,000 power.
**[21:21] Ren**
We're nearly there.
**[21:26] Aichi**
Kai...
**[23:10] Kyou**
Three months ago, your Kyou Yahagi
encountered something most dreadful.
**[23:15] Kyou**
Late one night at Team Asteroid headquarters,
I was nearly about to doze off...
**[23:19] Kyou**
When from far, far away...
**[23:20] Kyou**
...I could hear the most awful humming.
**[23:23] Kyou**
How very strange, I thought to myself.
**[23:25] Kyou**
Rubbing the sleep from my eyes,
I ventured toward the source of the noise...
**[23:29] Kyou**
Only to find...
**[23:30] Ren**
Find what?
**[23:31] Kyou**
R-R-Ren!
**[23:32] Ren**
Come on, tell me how it ends.

Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!
***SIGN*** Image 22 A Serious Fight
**[03:41] Misaki**
So he's brought out Dark Dictator...
**[03:44] Miwa**
Yeah...
**[03:46] Asaka**
So it begins.
**[03:48] Asaka**
The "Time of Despair" under Ren's dominion.
**[03:54] Ren**
Counterblast.
**[03:57] Ren**
Dark Dictator's skill activates.
**[03:59] Ren**
I superior call Black Sage, Charon from my hand.
**[04:07] Tetsu**
That gives Charon +5000 power.
**[04:13] Ren**
My blade shall guide you
to the depths of darkness.
**[04:17] Ren**
Break Darkness Destruction!
**[04:24] Ren**
Soul blast for Black Sage, Charon.
**[04:29] Ren**
Shadow warriors!
**[04:31] Ren**
Go!
**[04:34] Ren**
Blaster Axe attacks Nehalem!
**[04:37] Kai**
No guard!
**[04:41] Ren**
Blaster Rapier attacks your Vanguard.
**[04:45] Kai**
I guard with Rakshasa!
**[04:49] Ren**
You expect to pull through with that?
**[04:51] Kai**
What?!
**[04:54] Ren**
The power from my shadow warriors
**[04:57] Ren**
has made this blade all the more sharp.
**[04:59] Ren**
You shall experience that personally.
**[05:03] Ren**
Twin drive.
**[05:04] Ren**
First check.
**[05:06] Ren**
Second check.
**[05:08] Kamui**
Another critical trigger!
**[05:11] Kyou**
Tetsu said that drawing triggers
wasn't the essence of PSYqualia.
**[05:18] Kyou**
But the flow of the game is all Ren's.
**[05:28] Aichi**
Kai!
**[05:34] Miwa**
Now he's got 5 damage!
**[05:36] Kamui**
His back's against the wall!
**[05:38] Asaka**
That's my Ren. He dominates.
**[05:41] Tetsu**
Yes. This is thanks to PSYqualia's guidance.
**[05:45] Kyou**
PSYqualia's guidance?
**[05:49] Tetsu**
Since Ren has actually become
a vanguard of the planet Cray,
**[05:52] Tetsu**
he can converse with the cards
and gain an inside view of the fight.
**[05:58] Kyou**
So... what does that mean?! I don't get it!
**[06:02] Kamui**
Me neither!
**[06:03] Kyou**
Who asked you?!
**[06:07] Aichi**
PSYqualia...
**[06:09] Aichi**
So does Ren also experience
sensations like that when he fights?
**[06:17] Kai**
PSYqualia, my foot!
**[06:19] Kai**
You hear the voices of the cards...
**[06:22] Kai**
And so you play them...
**[06:25] Kai**
Which means, you don't know
who's actually leading the team, do you?
**[06:30] Ren**
What?
**[06:31] Kai**
Can you really call that fighting?!
**[06:35] Kai**
Wake up, Ren!
**[06:37] Kai**
It's my turn.
**[06:38] Kai**
Stand and draw!
**[06:41] Kai**
Water spirit dragon...
**[06:42] Kai**
...come forth from the blue spring!
**[06:46] Kai**
Ride The Vanguard!
**[06:55] Kai**
Dragonic Waterfall!
**[06:58] Kamui**
Whoa...
**[07:00] Miwa**
What is that dragon?!
**[07:02] Misaki**
To think he had that unit...
**[07:05] Kai**
Imaginary Gift!
**[07:08] Kai**
Force!
**[07:12] Kai**
Furthermore, Waterfall's skill activates!
**[07:21] Kai**
Also...
**[07:23] Kai**
To me, Dragonic Overlord
and Dragonic Gaias!
**[07:29] Kai**
Soul blast!
**[07:31] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord gets +10,000 power!
**[07:35] Kai**
Waterfall attacks your Vanguard!
**[07:39] Kai**
Gaias's skill activates!
**[07:41] Kai**
Waterfall gets an extra critical!
**[07:45] Kai**
And then, a Soul blast for Waterfall!
**[07:47] Kai**
+10,000 power and an extra critical!
**[07:53] Kai**
And now, Ren, you can't use a perfect guard.
**[07:57] Kamui**
Whoa! That prevents all perfect guards?!
**[08:00] Miwa**
Waterfall's power is 33,000.
**[08:03] Miwa**
What's Ren gonna do?!
**[08:06] Ren**
No guard.
**[08:07] Kai**
Twin drive!
**[08:09] Kai**
First check.
**[08:11] Kai**
Second check!
**[08:14] Kamui**
He got a heal trigger!
**[08:15] Miwa**
If only it'd been a critical trigger...!
**[08:18] Misaki**
But being able to heal a damage
in this situation is a major thing.
**[08:23] Kai**
I give the power to Dragonic Overlord!
**[08:28] Ren**
Damage check.
**[08:31] Kai**
Your deep-seated grudge...
Your pathos... Let's cleanse it all!
**[08:40] Kai**
Babness Geyser!
**[08:49] Asaka**
Ren!
**[08:50] Kyou**
Hey! Cut it out!
They're in the middle of a fight!
**[08:54] Tetsu**
B-But how...?
**[08:57] Tetsu**
While Ren's exhibiting PSYqualia,
**[08:59] Tetsu**
he shouldn't be able
to feel pain here in reality!
**[09:04] Kyou**
So in other words...
I mean, I still don't get it, but...
**[09:07] Kyou**
...that means Ren is on the ropes?!
**[09:09] Kai**
How was that?
**[09:10] Kai**
This is how I do a serious fight!
**[09:13] Ren**
I appreciate it, Toshiki Kai.
**[09:17] Asaka**
Ren, don't get drawn into following his pace!
**[09:22] Tetsu**
Does this mean that, even with PSYqualia,
Ren still isn't able to surpass Kai?!
**[09:29] Kai**
My turn isn't over yet!
**[09:32] Kai**
With a boost from Dragonic Gaias,
**[09:34] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord attacks your Vanguard!
**[09:39] Kamui**
He's got 51,000 power!
**[09:41] Miwa**
Go, Kai!
**[09:43] Ren**
Protect me, my guardians!
**[09:48] Axe**
I'll assist you!
**[09:51] Abyss**
Much appreciated!
**[09:58] The Two**
What?!
**[10:01] Ren**
Not even you, the most powerful player I know,
**[10:05] Ren**
can change the outcome
that the cards have guided me to.
**[10:15] Aichi**
Oh no... Kai's going to lose?!
**[10:21] Ren**
It's my turn.
**[10:23] Ren**
Stand and draw.
**[10:25] Ren**
Acknowledge my power already, Toshiki Kai!
**[10:29] Ren**
Ride The Vanguard!
**[10:39] Ren**
Born from the dark abyss,
**[10:41] Ren**
a maelstrom of power gone amok takes form...
**[10:45] Ren**
Phantom Blaster Dragon!
**[10:47] Ren**
Imaginary Gift.
**[10:49] Ren**
Force!
**[10:53] Ren**
I call Skull Witch, Nemain
to the rear guard. Skill activates.
**[10:58] Ren**
I superior call another Nemain from my deck.
**[11:03] Kamui**
Wh-What the heck is he up to now?!
**[11:14] Ren**
Sink into the darkness beneath my shadow...
**[11:24] Asaka**
With this, Phantom Blaster Dragon
gets +15,000 power and an extra critical!
**[11:30] Ren**
Now, sink into my darkness...
**[11:33] Ren**
...Toshiki Kai!
**[11:49] Pop**
Ren, my son...
**[11:51] Pop**
If you are truly a member
of the Suzugamori family,
**[11:54] Pop**
then you must attain perfection in every way!
**[11:56] Pop**
There are only two kinds
of people in this world.
**[11:59] Pop**
Those who are laughed at as losers,
**[12:02] Pop**
and those who laugh at them.
**[12:06] Pop**
Become a perfect winner!
**[12:09] Ren**
I was a far cry from the "perfection"
my father demanded of me...
**[12:15] Ren**
...until I became
completely absorbed by Vanguard.
**[12:20] Tetsu**
Your old man hit you again?!
**[12:23] Ren**
Vanguard has both winners and losers.
**[12:27] Kai**
Who's next?!
**[12:29] Ren**
But among them all,
Toshiki Kai was the "perfect winner."
**[12:34] Ren**
I swore to myself that
I would beat Toshiki Kai.
**[12:37] Ren**
By defeating you, I will achieve perfection.
**[12:41] Ren**
Yes. My time has come!
**[12:46] Ren**
Phantom Blaster Dragon's Soul blast!
**[12:49] Ren**
It deals 1 damage to your Vanguard.
**[12:51] Kai**
Damage check!
**[12:59] Kamui**
5 damage!
**[13:01] Miwa**
Kai!
**[13:03] Aichi**
Kai...
**[13:05] Ren**
Phantom Blaster Dragon attacks your Vanguard!
**[13:11] Kai**
I'm counting on you, my guardians!
**[13:15] Miwa**
What's their powers?
**[13:16] Misaki**
48,000 versus 58,000.
**[13:19] Misaki**
If he draws even one trigger, it'll go through.
**[13:23] Kyou**
Did Ren foresee this outcome to the fight?
**[13:28] Ren**
Twin drive.
**[13:29] Ren**
First check.
**[13:31] Ren**
Second check.
**[13:35] Kamui**
He drew one!
**[13:36] Ren**
I give all of the effects
to Phantom Blaster Dragon.
**[13:41] Ren**
Sink before my power, Toshiki Kai!
**[13:45] Ren**
Shadow Erosion!
**[13:57] Kai**
Ren...
**[14:00] Aichi**
Kai!
**[14:01] Miwa**
Kai! Speak to me!
**[14:04] Asaka**
Ren?
**[14:07] Ren**
I won...
**[14:09] Ren**
I beat Toshiki Kai, the "perfect winner"!
**[14:13] Ren**
I have finally achieved perfection!
**[14:19] Ren**
Wait... That's not true...
**[14:22] Kamui**
Why, Brother Aichi here has beat 'im before.
**[14:28] Ren**
The "perfect winner" that I'd sought
**[14:31] Ren**
was defiled before this fight!
**[14:39] Ren**
You're an eyesore, Aichi Sendou.
**[14:41] Aichi**
Huh?
**[14:44] Ren**
I was supposed to be the one to save him.
**[14:46] Ren**
I was to achieve perfection,
**[14:49] Ren**
so that the solitude experienced only by
those standing at the pinnacle of Cardfighting
**[14:53] Ren**
would be shared between the two of us.
**[14:55] Ren**
And yet, you...
**[14:57] Kamui**
Hey, what're ya talking about?!
**[14:59] Ren**
The Toshiki Kai I'd had
as my objective was already gone.
**[15:04] Ren**
You *changed* Kai.
**[15:06] Aichi**
I... changed Kai?
**[15:09] Ren**
Now I have no way of knowing
**[15:12] Ren**
whether I would've beat Kai
as he was before you beat him.
**[15:17] Ren**
There's only one path left to me!
**[15:19] Ren**
To fight you and obtain perfect victory!
**[15:24] Ren**
Now, fight me, Aichi Sendou!
**[15:29] Tetsu**
Ren!
**[15:31] Tetsu**
You're too exhausted to fight him!
**[15:34] Tetsu**
Besides, I fought Sendou not that long ago.
**[15:38] Tetsu**
In my opinion, you're light years ahead of him.
**[15:43] Ren**
Shut up, Tetsu.
**[15:46] Ren**
Your words of comfort won't sway me now.
**[15:49] Tetsu**
Ren...
**[15:51] Ren**
Kai was the perfect man.
**[15:54] Ren**
He'd never lost, not even once!
**[15:57] Ren**
Someone stole victory from Kai,
and I can't just let that go!
**[16:02] Ren**
I won't be satisfied unless
I resolve this here and now!
**[16:07] Ren**
I beat Kai, but now I want greater perfection!
**[16:13] Tetsu**
Is this obsession itself
the source of PSYqualia's power?
**[16:19] Ren**
So come to the table, Aichi Sendou.
**[16:24] Aichi**
But, I...
**[16:28] Aichi**
I didn't change Kai.
**[16:32] Aichi**
He's the one who changed me.
**[16:35] Aichi**
Kai invited me to fight,
**[16:38] Aichi**
and ever since then, my world has expanded.
**[16:44] Aichi**
That's why I'm so grateful to Kai.
**[16:48] Aichi**
Besides, like he told you earlier,
**[16:51] Aichi**
he wasn't fighting seriously then.
**[16:53] Aichi**
He was teaching me Vanguard,
and took it easy on me.
**[16:57] Ren**
Nonsense!
**[17:00] Ren**
You don't know anything about Kai.
**[17:03] Ren**
He would never let anyone beat him
just for a lame reason like that!
**[17:08] Ren**
There must have been something
that allowed you to surpass Kai then!
**[17:13] Aichi**
But...
**[17:14] Ren**
Don't defile Kai any further!
**[17:16] Aichi**
But... But I...
**[17:19] Kai**
Don't do it, Aichi...
**[17:21] Aichi**
Kai...
**[17:22] Miwa**
You've come to, Kai?
**[17:24] Kai**
Don't do it.
**[17:26] Kai**
Don't step into the same world as us!
**[17:29] Aichi**
What world?
**[17:30] Kai**
It's one devoid of all but endless fighting,
where you see everyone else as the enemy.
**[17:37] Kai**
Choose a different world. Please!
**[17:41] Aichi**
Kai...
**[17:44] Miwa**
Fight him, Aichi!
**[17:47] Kai**
What are you saying, Miwa?!
**[17:50] Miwa**
I think you're the only one who can
end Ren and Kai's cycle of fighting.
**[17:56] Aichi**
Me? I can't do that...
**[17:59] Miwa**
Sure you can!
**[18:01] Miwa**
After all, you beat Kai once before!
**[18:07] Kai**
Aichi, don't!
**[18:09] Miwa**
C'mere, you!
**[18:11] Miwa**
You rest right there!
**[18:14] Kai**
Miwa, you jerk!
**[18:16] Miwa**
Don't worry.
**[18:17] Miwa**
I'm sure Aichi will be fine.
**[18:20] Miwa**
Since he was able to change Kai,
maybe he can change Ren, too.
**[18:25] Kamui**
Brother Aichi...
**[18:27] Misaki**
Are you really going to fight him?
**[18:30] Aichi**
Yes.
**[18:31] Aichi**
If fighting him will end this dispute, then...
**[18:40] Misaki**
Very well.
**[18:45] The Two**
Wha...?!
**[18:48] Aichi**
M-Misaki?
**[18:51] Misaki**
Knowing you, I'm sure you'll be all right.
**[18:55] Misaki**
Do your best!
**[18:56] Aichi**
I will!
**[18:57] Miwa**
M-M-M-Misaki, don't tell me
you have *those* feelings for Aichi?!
**[19:03] Misaki**
What are you talking about?
I was just encouraging him.
**[19:07] Kamui**
Dummy! You had the wrong idea!
**[19:09] Miwa**
So did you!
**[19:14] Aichi**
I feel lighter now.
**[19:16] Aichi**
I'm not sure what I can do here.
**[19:19] Aichi**
But still...
**[19:21] Aichi**
To avoid betraying the fight I had with Kai...
**[19:25] Aichi**
...as well as the fights I've had
with everyone else I've met so far...
**[19:33] Aichi**
...I'll muster all the strength I have.
**[19:36] Aichi**
And then...
**[19:38] Aichi**
...I'll show it to Ren!
**[19:41] Tetsu**
Oho... Are you motivated now, Sendou?
**[19:45] Kyou**
I'll finally get to see a fight between
two people who have PSYqualia.
**[19:49] Tetsu**
Yeah...
**[19:50] Tetsu**
To be honest, though, I'd rather have
seen them fight when they weren't exhausted.
**[19:56] Ren**
These VF Gloves...
**[19:59] Ren**
They virtually recreate
the pain felt by Vanguard units,
**[20:04] Ren**
to let one attain a sense of unity with them.
**[20:07] Ren**
But since we both have PSYqualia,
we don't need these.
**[20:14] Ren**
Are you ready?
**[20:16] Aichi**
Yes...
**[20:18] Ren**
Imagine it.
**[20:20] Ren**
Right now, we're present on
the planet Cray as astral bodies.
**[20:33] Aichi**
Where are we?
**[20:42] Ren**
It seems that you also feel it...
The wind that blows on the planet Cray.
**[20:51] Ren**
Up until now, I've always
appeared in this domain alone.
**[20:56] Ren**
I'm delighted to have
someone finally join me here.
**[21:04] Ren**
Now, then...
**[21:06] Aichi**
Let's do it.
**[21:08] Aichi**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[21:08] Ren**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[21:33] Tetsu**
The battle between two fighters
with PSYqualia has begun.
**[23:10] Asaka**
Welcome to *Vanguard Three-Minute Cooking.*
I'm your host, Asaka Narumi.
**[23:13] Asaka**
This episode, we have with us
PSYqualia Chef Ren Suzugamori.
**[23:18] Ren**
Today we'll be preparing
churrasco Flame Dragon kebabs.
**[23:21] Asaka**
Then let's get right to it!
**[23:23] Ren**
After cleansing the Flame Dragon
with Babness Geyser,
**[23:27] Ren**
we saute it in Breakdown Death Breath,
and then grill over Eternal Flame until done.
**[23:31] Asaka**
It smells wonderful!
**[23:32] Ren**
Skewer on Damned Charging Lance, and serve!

Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[00:44] Tetsu**
The battle between two fighters

**[00:52] Aichi**
Vanguard.
**[00:53] Aichi**
It's a card game in which you yourself
become the vanguard and fight!
**[00:57] Kai**
Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!
***SIGN*** Image 23 A Little Beacon
**[03:01] Ren**
Ride The Vanguard!
**[03:04] Aichi**
I ride Knight Squire, Allen!
**[03:09] Aichi**
He missed me on purpose.
**[03:12] Ren**
That was simply a greeting.
Now, come at me.
**[03:17] Aichi**
Sage of light! Subordinate guard beast!
Lend me your powers!
**[03:23] Marron**
Marron's Book of Magic, section fifteen!
**[03:49] Ren**
A mere warrior of light has wounded me. *Me*...

My darkness will blot out the light!

Ability Blast!
**[04:06] Ren**

**[04:09] Aichi**
Marron!
**[04:12] Ren**
You'll be following them soon enough.
**[04:15] Ren**
Attend me, Black Sage, Charon!
**[04:18] Charon**
Yes, sir!
**[04:19] Ren**
You shall experience
the power of our darkness.
**[04:24] Charon**
Charon's Book of Magic, section 118!
**[04:36] Ren**
Uh oh. It's too soon for you to fall.
**[04:39] Ren**
You can do that after
I run you through with my sword.
**[04:42] Ren**
Darkside Blade!
**[04:52] All**
Aichi!
**[04:52] Kamui**
Brother Aichi!
**[05:06] All**
Ren!
**[05:09] Asaka**
I knew you shouldn't have
kept fighting in your condition...
**[05:12] Ren**
Stove it.
**[05:14] Ren**
Don't say another word,
Asaka... or I'll hate you.
**[05:19] Kyou**
How are they exhausted,
even without the VF Gloves?!
**[05:24] Tetsu**
The damage to their psyches
also manifests in their physical bodies.
**[05:28] Tetsu**
We are witnessing a fight
between PSYqualia users.
**[05:32] Kyou**
A fight between PSYqualia users...
**[05:44] Charon**
My vanguard...
**[05:46] Ren**
Yes, I know.
**[05:49] Ren**
You wonder which warriors of light
he's brought with him, right?
**[05:57] Aichi**
I ride!
**[06:00] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[06:05] Ren**
Just as expected, it's that one.
**[06:08] Aichi**
Ability Blast!
**[06:11] Aichi**
Burst Buster!
**[06:15] Aichi**
Attend me, Sage of Salvation, Benon!
**[06:18] Benon**
Yes, my vanguard!
**[06:21] Benon**
The seventh paean of
Benon's great magic book of verse!
**[06:29] Aichi**
Have at you!
**[06:50] Ren**
Tetsu was right.
**[06:52] Ren**
Perhaps it's because we share the same sense,
**[06:55] Ren**
but I understand you well,
even though we only just met.
**[07:03] Aichi**
I understand you, too.
**[07:05] Aichi**
You enjoy Vanguard fights
a great deal, don't you, Ren?
**[07:11] Aichi**
And above all else,
**[07:13] Aichi**
you treasure the fights you've had with Kai.
**[07:17] Aichi**
Just like I do.
**[07:25] Ren**
But those treasured moments...
**[07:28] Ren**
My fights with Kai, which tie
into the core of my very being...
**[07:31] Ren**
You *changed* them.
**[07:34] Ren**
You tainted the fights between me and Kai!
**[07:38] Ren**
You're the one person I must defeat!
**[07:45] Ren**
I ride!
**[07:55] Ren**
A jet-black king of knights
who rules the darkness.
**[07:58] Ren**

**[08:22] Ren**
Go!
**[08:23] All**
Yes, sir!
**[08:26] Aichi**
Flogal!
**[08:37] Aichi**
I'm going to blot out your light.
**[08:57] Kamui**
Brother Aichi!
**[09:03] Misaki**
Now he has 4 damage.
**[09:08] Misaki**
They're tied.
**[09:13] Ren**
That's right, Aichi Sendou.
**[09:16] Ren**
It's not yet time for you to fall.
**[09:24] Aichi**
Stand and draw.
**[09:27] Ren**
Now you'll ride...
**[09:29] Ren**
...Soul Saver Dragon.
**[09:33] Aichi**
I ride!
**[09:38] Aichi**
Dispelling the dark clouds
that obstruct the way to hope!
**[09:41] Aichi**
Dragon of sacred light!
**[09:43] Aichi**
Soul Saver Dragon!
**[09:46] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[09:54] Ren**
And now...
**[09:57] Ren**
...the fate of this fight will be...
**[10:26] Ren**
PSYqualia's final revelation
**[10:28] Ren**
is a vision of "the image of the conclusion."
**[10:33] Ren**
You can see it too, can't you?
**[10:37] Aichi**
My PSYqualia is telling me that...
**[10:41] Aichi**
I call.
**[10:44] Aichi**
Everyone, attend me!
**[10:52] Miwa**
Six units at once!
**[10:54] Miwa**
He's got a full complement of rear-guards!
**[10:56] Kamui**
Go, Brother Aichi!
**[11:02] Ren**
Yes.
**[11:03] Ren**
This is what it's always like once I see
"the image of the conclusion."
**[11:19] Asaka**
Ren!
**[11:20] Kyou**
Ren?! Why?!
**[11:23] Tetsu**
In a fight between two people with PSYqualia,
**[11:26] Tetsu**
their synesthesia is magnified
more than ever before,
**[11:29] Tetsu**
and just imagining the units is enough
to make them vulnerable to the pain.
**[11:35] Ren**
Damage check...
**[11:42] Ren**
Already, this fight feels like...
**[11:46] Ren**
...a completed painting
that I only need to allow to dry.
**[11:52] Ren**
Aichi Sendou...
**[11:54] Ren**
It's now just a matter of us both
going through the motions.
**[12:00] Aichi**
Boosted by Wingal...
**[12:02] Aichi**
...Soul Saver Dragon attacks the Dark Dictator!
**[12:06] Aichi**
Shining Feather Saver!
**[12:11] Ren**
Dark Shield, Mac Lir!
**[12:14] Mac**
No blade can pierce this darkness!
**[12:17] Mac**
The shield of darkness is infallible!
**[12:20] Benon**
The ninth paean of
Benon's great magic book of verse!
**[12:27] Ren**
Death Feather Eagle! Charon!
**[12:35] Ren**
So that was justice.
**[12:38] Misaki**
Against Aichi's three attacks,
**[12:40] Misaki**
he did just enough to block them all.
**[12:43] Miwa**
His PSYqualia's going full throttle, huh?
**[12:45] Kamui**
Darn it!
**[12:47] Asaka**
Ren!
**[12:48] Kyou**
Awesome...
**[12:52] Ren**
Even when fighting against
someone else who possesses PSYqualia,
**[12:55] Ren**
the result is still the same.
**[12:58] Ren**
I control the entire fight,
**[13:00] Ren**
and I attain complete victory.
**[13:03] Ren**
How boring.
**[13:06] Ren**
Just as I suspected,
everything ended after my fight with Kai.
**[13:12] Ren**
Born from the dark abyss,
a maelstrom of power gone amok takes form...
**[13:16] Ren**
Emerge and bring forth your evil power!
**[13:28] Ren**
I ride!
**[13:30] Ren**
Phantom Blaster Dragon!
**[13:32] Ren**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[13:36] Miwa**
Kai, the unit that finished you off
**[13:40] Miwa**
has now appeared before Aichi.
**[13:47] Ren**
This fight is over.
**[13:52] Kyou**
Are they really here?
**[13:54] Asaka**
Huh?
**[13:56] Tetsu**
That's an astute question.
**[13:58] Tetsu**
Their bodies are definitely here.
**[14:01] Tetsu**
But because of the senses shared
by these two people with PSYqualia,
**[14:05] Tetsu**
they themselves become
the vanguards as they fight.
**[14:09] Tetsu**
Right now, their minds
are in the realm of imagination.
**[14:14] Kyou**
In the realm of imagination...?
**[14:18] Miwa**
To me, it just looks like
they're fighting normally.
**[14:23] Kamui**
Brother Aichi and Ren...
**[14:26] Misaki**
What sights do they see before them?
**[14:29] Ren**
It's time I wrapped this up.
**[14:46] Ren**
Damned Charging Lance.
**[14:59] Ren**
Shadow Erosion!
**[15:01] Ren**
Now you'll sink down into the depths.
**[15:38] Ren**
What? What is this image?
**[15:49] Ren**
Aichi Sendou...
**[15:52] Ren**
This wasn't in the image I saw!
**[15:58] Aichi**
Ren, you're just like me.
**[16:07] Ren**
What?!
**[16:09] Jerk**
Stop getting 100s!
**[16:12] Jerk**
Why do you always get better grades than us?!
**[16:16] Aichi**
We've both suffered.
**[16:19] Aichi**
We've both struggled all alone
within the confines of our small worlds.
**[16:24] Ren**
His images are flashing before my eyes!
**[16:28] Li'l Ren**
Why these clothes?!
**[16:32] Li'l Ren**
Please... Dad, don't...
**[16:35] Father**
You must be a perfect winner in every way!
**[16:38] Father**
Address me as "Father," not "Dad"!
**[16:44] Li'l Aichi**
We both lived in darkness.
**[16:49] Li'l Aichi**
Until...
**[16:51] Li'l Ren**
Until?
**[16:55] Li'l Aichi**
We both obtained a little beacon.
**[17:09] Tetsu**
Sorry.
**[17:18] Tetsu**
Your face... Did something happen to you?
**[17:23] Tetsu**
It seems you've been in some kind of trouble.
**[17:26] Tetsu**
How about if we drop by over there?
***SIGN*** Cardshop
**[17:38] Tetsu**
It's fun.
**[17:43] Kyou**
Look!
**[17:45] Kyou**
Sendou's damage check...
**[17:48] Kyou**
He drew a heal trigger!
**[17:50] Kamui**
You did it, Brother Aichi!
**[17:53] Misaki**
He healed 1 damage point!
**[17:58] Miwa**
Aichi gets another turn!
**[18:07] Aichi**
After obtaining our beacons,
**[18:10] Aichi**
the things that had bound us disappeared.
**[18:13] Aichi**
And yet, you're still in shackles, Ren.
**[18:19] Ren**
My father's...?
**[18:22] Ren**
No.
**[18:24] Ren**
Are you saying I've bound myself?
**[18:29] Aichi**
We both obtained just a little beacon.
**[18:33] Aichi**
However...
**[18:34] Aichi**
These beacons allowed us
to connect to a wider world.
**[18:43] Tetsu**
Ren.
**[18:45] Asaka**
Ren...
**[18:47] Kyou**
Ren.
**[18:49] Kai**
Ren!
**[18:56] Aichi**
Look.
**[19:11] Aichi**
This little beacon that Kai gave to me
**[19:15] Aichi**
is shining so brightly.
**[19:18] Aichi**
I ride!
**[19:19] Aichi**
The light that will rewrite
the world of darkness!
**[19:25] Ren**
Wh-What is this?!
**[19:33] Aichi**
Exculpate the Blaster!
**[19:41] Kamui**
A new Blaster!
**[19:47] Ren**
My image is being overwritten!
**[19:58] Ren**
Aichi Sendou, has your PSYqualia
actually surpassed mine?!
**[20:04] Aichi**
Immeasurable Blade!
**[20:09] Ren**
Mac Lir!
**[20:11] Aichi**
Twin drive.
**[20:12] Aichi**
First check.
**[20:13] Aichi**
Second check!
**[20:15] Aichi**
Critical trigger!
**[20:16] Aichi**
I give all of the effects to Wingal!
**[20:24] Kamui**
H-How can just one attack...
**[20:27] Kamui**
...retire all of his opponent's rear-guards?!
**[20:30] Tetsu**
Exculpate can attack all of an opponent's units.
**[20:36] Kamui**
All of their units?!
**[20:46] Kyou**
Exculpate...
**[20:49] Kyou**
...is retiring.
**[20:51] Asaka**
Now Ren will get a turn!
**[20:54] Miwa**
He was so close!
**[20:57] Kai**
No...
**[21:00] Kai**
After retiring Exculpate,
**[21:02] Kai**
he puts two cards from his hand
into the Soul, and then...
**[21:18] Kai**
...Aichi rides Blaster Blade!
**[21:23] Aichi**
I'm going to cleave through
the darkness that binds you!
**[23:10] Asaka**
Waaa! Ren said he'd "hate" me!
**[23:13] Asaka**
I can't go on!
**[23:14] Tetsu**
Don't worry, Asaka.
**[23:16] Asaka**
I don't need your consoling, Tetsu!
**[23:20] Tetsu**
Ow!
**[23:21] Tetsu**
Despite the way he seems,
Ren has a poor memory.
**[23:25] Tetsu**
I doubt he even remembers saying that.
**[23:28] Asaka**
R-Really?
**[23:29] Tetsu**
He often forgets his phone when he goes out,
**[23:32] Tetsu**
and he can't even remember my family name,
let alone my zodiac sign and blood type!

I'm going to cleave through
the darkness that binds you!
**[00:13] Ren**
Aichi Sendou...
**[00:16] Ren**
...is dazzling.
**[00:31] Asaka**
Ren!
**[00:32] Tetsu**
Ren!
**[00:36] Miwa**
You did it, Aichi!
**[00:37] Aichi**
M-Miwa...?
**[00:39] Aichi**
Wh-Where am I?
**[00:41] Misaki**
You won!
**[00:42] Kamui**
I knew ya could do it, Brother Aichi!
**[00:48] Miwa**
Whoa!
**[00:48] Misaki**
Aichi!
**[00:52] Aichi**
I won?
**[00:54] Ren**
You're strong, Aichi Sendou.
**[00:59] Ren**
After obtaining PSYqualia...
**[01:02] Ren**
...I began to win fights.
**[01:07] Ren**
I was finally winning...
**[01:10] Ren**
...but as a result, my fights
were no longer serious or exciting.
**[01:20] Aichi**
Ren...
**[01:21] Ren**
But with you as my opponent, I could...
**[01:26] Aichi**
Or with Kai, right?
**[01:30] Ren**
Good point.
**[01:32] Ren**
With you and Kai as opponents, then maybe...
**[01:35] Tetsu**
Maybe?
**[01:37] Ren**
I may get to have serious fights again.
**[01:41] Aichi**
Sure! I'll fight you anytime you like.
**[01:47] Miwa**
Whoa there!
**[01:48] Miwa**
What if he takes you at your word
and starts hanging out at Card Capital?!
**[01:52] Misaki**
I don't want my shop becoming
a Team Asteroid clubhouse!
**[01:57] Kamui**
Don't worry!
**[01:58] Kamui**
If that happens,
then Brother Aichi will throw 'im out!
**[02:01] Asaka**
Excuse me?!
**[02:02] Asaka**
I won't let that remark go!
**[02:04] Asaka**
You make it sound like Ren's a bad guy!
**[02:06] Asaka**
Would you take that back?
**[02:08] Kamui**
Well, he is a bad guy!
**[02:10] Miwa**
That's right!
**[02:11] Aichi**
Okay, okay!
**[02:12] Asaka**
Ren is a one-of-a-kind person!
**[02:15] Ren**
Aichi...
**[02:15] Asaka**
He always strives for the top in everything!
**[02:17] Ren**
Though I've only known you for a few hours...
**[02:18] Asaka**
Plus he's sweet,
**[02:19] Asaka**
and while he may not be perfect,
**[02:20] Ren**
...I feel like we're very close.
**[02:21] Asaka**
he--wait, are you even listening?!
**[02:29] Aichi**
Kai!
**[02:36] Kai**
Aichi...
**[02:40] Aichi**
Vanguard.
**[02:41] Aichi**
It's a card game in which you yourself
become the vanguard and fight!
**[02:46] Kai**
Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!

Mm hm...
**[04:31] Mom**
You've got a fever.
**[04:34] Aichi**
I do?
**[04:35] Mom**
You'd better stay in bed all day.
**[04:38] Mom**
I'll bring you some porridge later.
**[04:40] Aichi**
Okay.
**[04:42] Emi**
Hey, is Aichi okay?
**[04:45] Mom**
What do you mean?
**[04:46] Emi**
He stumbled home late last night, again.
**[04:50] Emi**
I worry that he's being bullied again...
**[04:53] Mom**
He's fine.
**[04:55] Mom**
After all...
**[04:56] Mom**
...he had a happy look in his eyes.
**[05:05] Miwa**
Hey, Kai!
**[05:07] Miwa**
You alive in there?!
**[05:08] Miwa**
I'm coming in!
**[05:12] Miwa**
Oh? So you're up and about!
**[05:15] Miwa**
You didn't contact me or show up at school,
**[05:17] Miwa**
so I assumed you'd be laid up in bed,
**[05:19] Miwa**
like Aichi is.
**[05:23] Kai**
Aichi is?
**[05:24] Miwa**
I heard at Capital that
he's in bed with a fever.
**[05:27] Miwa**
Well, nothing bad enough to worry over, though.
**[05:30] Kai**
I see.
**[05:34] Miwa**
That a new deck?
**[05:36] Miwa**
I've never seen those cards before.
**[05:40] Miwa**
Don't tell me this deck is...
**[05:46] Miwa**
Just can't stand losing, can you?
**[05:48] Kai**
Shut up.
**[05:52] Miwa**
Kai!
**[05:53] Kai**
I-I'm fine!
**[05:55] Miwa**
Are you eating properly?
**[05:58] Kai**
Now that you mention it,
I haven't eaten anything since yesterday.
**[06:00] Miwa**
Hold on, I'll whip something up for you.
**[06:06] Miwa**
I'm stuffed.
**[06:09] Kai**
I'm such a jerk...
**[06:12] Miwa**
You only just figured that out?
**[06:14] Kai**
I was going to make Aichi give up...
**[06:17] Kai**
...his deck... and even Vanguard.
**[06:21] Kai**
That power will alter you.
**[06:24] Kai**
Throw away your cards,
**[06:25] Kai**
and never fight again!
**[06:29] Miwa**
We all knew you had Aichi's
best interests in mind when you said that.
**[06:33] Miwa**
Don't worry about it!
**[06:36] Miwa**
For Aichi, as well as the others,
you're their guide... their vanguard.
**[06:46] Miwa**
You're always walking ahead of them,
**[06:49] Miwa**
showing them the way.
**[06:51] Miwa**
As for Aichi and Ren,
**[06:52] Miwa**
if it weren't for you,
their PSYqualio wouldn't have...
**[06:56] Kai**
It's "PSYqualia."
**[06:57] Miwa**
Oh, right.
**[06:59] Miwa**
They never would've awakened to that power.
**[07:01] Miwa**
Without a doubt, you are their vanguard!
**[07:05] Kai**
I'm not so sure about that...
**[07:12] Miwa**
Hey, Kai.
**[07:14] Miwa**
Let's fight.
**[07:18] Kai**
Sure.
**[07:19] Kai**
We'll keep at it till morning.
**[07:22] Miwa**
But you're not used to that deck yet.
**[07:24] Miwa**
With a whole night,
I should manage at least one win.
**[07:26] Kai**
We'll see about that.
**[07:28] Miwa**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[07:28] Kai**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[07:35] Aichi**
See you later!
**[07:37] Mom**
Be careful!
**[07:40] Mom**
See? He's doing much better now.
**[07:42] Emi**
I wasted my time worrying about him!
**[07:44] Emi**
Aichi!
**[07:46] Emi**
Are you stopping by Capital after school?!
**[07:49] Aichi**
Yes, I was planning to!
**[07:51] Emi**
Then I'll see you there!
**[08:01] Morikawa**
There he is!
**[08:03] Aichi**
Morikawa!
**[08:04] Aichi**
Izaki! Inenaga!
**[08:06] Inenaga**
Good, you look well!
**[08:08] Izaki**
We heard you had a fever!
We were worried about you, man!
**[08:11] Morikawa**
But more importantly...
**[08:13] Morikawa**
Did you actually
beat the boss of Team Asteroid?!
**[08:15] Morikawa**
How'd you do it?
**[08:16] Morikawa**
Go on, tell me!
**[08:19] Aichi**
How? Uh...
**[08:20] Morikawa**
Oh, come on!
**[08:21] Inenaga**
Don't give him a hard time!
**[08:23] Morikawa**
I'm not giving him a hard time!
**[08:24] Girl1**
Was Sendou always this cheerful?
**[08:29] Girl2**
He does seem different lately...
**[08:33] Miwa**
Man, what a day!
**[08:35] Miwa**
It's rough attending class after an all-nighter!
**[08:38] Miwa**
Especially since I didn't even beat you once...
**[08:41] Kai**
You actually stayed awake for classes?
**[08:45] Miwa**
Huh?!
**[08:46] Miwa**
Meaning you slept through them?!
**[08:48] Miwa**
Hey! Hold on! Wait!

We wanna hear it directly from Aichi!
**[09:11] Morikawa**
Right, Aichi?
**[09:12] Shin**
I'd love to hear about it, too!
**[09:15] Misaki**
YOU need to get back to work, Manager!
**[09:20] Shin**

**[09:35] Aichi**
Yeah. I'm back to normal!
**[09:38] Misaki**
How about you?
**[09:40] Misaki**
I thought you were home with a fever, too.
**[09:42] Aichi**
You too, Kai?!
**[09:44] Miwa**
Nah, he was just playing hooky.

**[11:35] Aichi**
Glyme's skill activates!
**[11:37] Aichi**
I draw one card.
**[11:40] Aichi**
My turn is over.
**[11:42] Misaki**
The last time these two fought,
**[11:44] Misak**
Aichi was a beginner,
unsure of how to play.
**[11:50] Miwa**
He sure was.
**[11:59] Miwa**
But now he's a fighter everyone respects!
**[12:03] Miwa**
That's impressive.
**[12:05] Misaki**
That first time, Aichi the beginner won.
**[12:08] Miwa**
Don't underestimate Toshiki Kai's potential.

Didn't Aichi receive his first card from Kai?
**[13:28] Miwa**
Yeah.
**[13:30] Miwa**
The Blaster Blade that Aichi uses even now,
**[13:33] Miwa**
he got from Kai back in elementary school.
**[13:35] Emi**
That long ago?!
**[13:37] Emi**
What's their connection?!
**[13:40] Miwa**
Hmm, good question...
**[13:44] Miwa**
The first time they met, it was as friends,
**[13:49] Miwa**
and the next time they met,
it was as mentor and student.
**[13:54] Miwa**
But now...
**[13:56] Miwa**
You could call them rivals, I guess?
**[13:59] Kai**
I ride!
**[14:03] Kai**
Berserk Dragon!
**[14:10] Aichi**
This unit is...
**[14:13] Blaster**
It's dangerous, my Vanguard.
**[14:19] Aichi**
This isn't a fight against Team Asteroid.
**[14:23] Aichi**
I can't use PSYqualia here!
**[14:26] Kai**
Aichi, I want to have a serious fight.
**[14:30] Kai**
Don't assume that you'll beat me
even if you hold back!
**[14:36] Aichi**
Kai is telling me to use PSYqualia.
**[14:40] Aichi**
He accepts it as my "power."
**[14:45] Kai**
Here I come, Aichi!
**[14:46] Kai**
Berserk Dragon's skill activates!
**[14:49] Kai**
You're outta here...
**[14:50] Kai**
...Knight of Silence!
**[14:55] Kai**
Also, when I retire one of your rear-guards,
**[14:58] Kai**
this unit appears.
**[15:00] Kai**
Awaken!
**[15:01] Kai**
Cruel Dragon!
**[15:07] Kai**
Aermo, you get out there, too!
**[15:12] Kai**
Attack!
**[15:16] Aichi**
Flash Shield, Iseult!
**[15:18] Iseult**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[15:21] Shin**
A perfect guard!
**[15:22] Kai**
I'm not done yet!
**[15:25] Kai**
Go get him, Cruel!
**[15:39] Kai**
Even if my opponent uses a
pain-in-the-neck power like PSYqualia,
**[15:44] Kai**
I'm still gonna win!
**[15:47] Emi**
I'm scared!
**[15:48] Kamui**
Wh-What's wrong, Miss Emi?!
**[15:50] Emi**
Why is Kai so obsessed with winning?
**[15:54] Kamui**
That's not an easy question to answer...
**[15:58] Kai**
Come to think of it,
**[16:00] Kai**
how did I get so fixated on winning, anyway?
**[16:04] Kai**
When did it start?
**[16:10] Young Kai**
Imagine yourself being stronger.
**[16:13] Young Kai**
My imagination is how I got so strong!
**[16:16] Young Miwa**
That's not much of an explanation.
**[16:19] Young Kai**
You'll never win against me
if you can't understand that.
**[16:23] Young Miwa**
I just can't! But still...
**[16:26] Young Miwa**
...let's fight again tomorrow, after school!
**[16:29] Young Kai**
I'll just beat you again.
**[16:33] Young Miwa**
You jerk!
**[16:34] Young Miwa**
I'll get you...!
**[16:41] Young Kai**
I'm home.
**[16:43] Young Kai**
Huh? Where's Mom?
**[17:00] Young Kai**
Uncle!
**[17:01] Uncle**
Toshiki!
**[17:03] Uncle**
Have you seen your mom or dad?!
**[17:08] Man**
There's no sign of them!
**[17:10] Uncle**
Did they tell you where they were going?
**[17:12] Young Kai**
No...
**[17:15] Young Kai**
Did something happen to them?
**[17:18] Uncle**
Your parents stole money from the company
**[17:22] Uncle**
and then vanished!
**[17:26] Young Kai**
Huh?
**[17:27] Young Kai**
You...
**[17:30] Young Kai**
You're lying!
**[17:39] Aichi**
I ride!
**[17:46] Aichi**
King of Knights, Alfred!
**[17:52] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[17:59] Aichi**
High Dog Breeder, Akane!
**[18:03] Akane**
Here, Pongal!
**[18:07] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[18:19] Man**
Hiya, Toshiki!
**[18:21] Man**
I'm sure we'll get along great!
**[18:24] Young Kai**
Okay.
**[18:34] Man**
Just listen to me...
**[18:35] Young Kai**
I'm back.
**[18:36] Man**
Hey, c'mon!
**[18:37] Man**
Wait a sec!
**[18:38] Man**
I'm in a bind myself after
what that kid's parents did!
**[18:42] Man**
Honestly, I can't even
stand to see the name "Kai"!
**[18:45] Man**
Take him off my hands!
**[18:48] Young Kai**
So he lied to me...
**[18:53] Aichi**
I'm going to start attacking.
**[18:56] Akane**
Let's go!
**[18:59] Kai**
Repel the attack, Tahr!
**[19:09] Old Man**
Welcome, Toshiki.
**[19:12] Old Man**
This is your home from now on.
**[19:15] Old Woman**
You can stay as long as you like.
**[19:19] Old Woman**
Your aunt from Kanagawa
**[19:22] Old Woman**
said she'd love to
take in a boy like you, Toshiki.
**[19:26] Old Man**
That's probably better for you.
**[19:28] Old Woman**
Take care.
**[19:30] Old Woman**
You're welcome to come back anytime.
**[19:32] Young Kai**
You liars!
**[19:34] Man2**
Good luck! (With parents like that...)
**[19:36] Woman1**
It'll be fine! (Little good for nothing...)
**[19:37] Kai**
They all lied to me through their teeth.
**[19:38] Woman2**
There, there... (What a pain...)
**[19:40] Man2**
Oh, don't worry. (Get out of here!)
**[19:48] Aichi**
Blaster Blade attacks!
**[19:53] Kai**
Dragon Monk, Genjo guards!
**[20:00] Kai**
But then...
**[20:02] Kai**
...after I'd been moved several times...

**[20:34] Boy**

**[20:36] Kai**
Nobody there lied to me.
**[20:40] Kai**
They didn't hold back with what they said.
**[20:42] Kai**
That was why...
**[20:44] Aichi**
King of Knights, Alfred attacks!
**[20:48] Kai**
No guard!
**[20:50] Aichi**
Twin drive.
**[20:52] Aichi**
Critical trigger!
**[20:54] Aichi**
And also...
**[20:55] Aichi**
Critical trigger!
**[20:57] Morikawa**
A double critical?!
**[21:01] Kai**
...I always fought seriously,
never holding back!
**[21:09] Boy**
I lost!
**[21:12] Kai**
Next!
**[21:14] Kai**
Who's my next opponent?!
**[21:18] Boy**
You go.
**[21:20] Boy2**
Forget it! I know I'm just gonna lose!
**[21:23] Boy3**
He's too serious!
**[21:25] Boy4**
Nobody wants to do a fight
that they're guaranteed to lose!
**[21:33] Kai**
Somewhere down the line,
**[21:35] Kai**
they began calling me the "Solitary Fighter."
**[23:10] Kai**
The fight between me and Aichi
grows even more intense.
**[23:13] Kai**
Can I beat Aichi when he's using PSYqualia?
**[23:16] Kai**
And what kind of conclusion
awaits us after the fight?
**[23:21] Kai**
Next time on *Cardfight!! Vanguard...*

**[23:29] Kai**
For you, anyway.
**[23:30] Miwa**
It's the final episode only for me?! No way!
**[23:33] Kai**
Miwa, didn't you notice that
you had a lot more lines this time?

**[00:01] Ren**
You're strong, Aichi Sendou.
**[00:04] Ren**
With you and Kai as opponents, then maybe...
**[00:07] Tetsu**
Maybe?
**[00:10] Ren**
I may get to have serious fights again.
**[00:14] Aichi**
Sure! I'll fight you anytime you like.
**[00:19] Miwa**
You're their guide... their vanguard.
**[00:26] Emi**
Aichi! Are you here?
**[00:28] Kamui**
M-M-M-Miss Emi!
**[00:30] Emi**
I was just going to walk home with Aichi.
**[00:32] Kamui**
Then I'll walk you home, too!
**[00:35] Kamui**
Get ready to go, Brother Aichi!
**[00:37] Aichi**
Whaa?! But I just got here!
**[00:39] Aichi**
I haven't even fought anyone yet!
**[00:41] Kai**
Then, since it's been a while...
**[00:44] Kai**
...wanna fight me?

Yeah!
***SIGN*** Sub Manager
**[00:56] Inenaga**
I wonder who's going to win.
**[00:57] Morikawa**
Aichi, of course!
**[00:59] Morikawa**
I mean, he beat the boss of Team Asteroid.
**[01:03] Aichi**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[01:03] Kai**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[01:06] Aichi**
King of Knights, Alfred attacks!
**[01:09] Kai**
No guard!
**[01:12] Aichi**
Twin drive.
**[01:14] Aichi**
Critical trigger!
**[01:15] Aichi**
And also...
**[01:16] Aichi**
Critical trigger!
**[01:18] Morikawa**
A double critical?!
**[01:23] Kai**
Stand and draw!
**[01:26] Kai**
Dance, flames of crimson!
**[01:28] Kai**
I ride Dragonic Overlord!
**[01:34] Kai**
Descend to become
the raging wind of the apocalypse!
**[01:41] Aichi**
Vanguard.
**[01:42] Aichi**
It's a card game in which you yourself
become the vanguard and fight!
**[01:47] Kai**
Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!

Begone, Pongal!
**[03:56] Kai**
Go, Cruel Dragon!
**[04:01] Unit**
Not on my watch!
**[04:07] Kai**
We'll see about that!
**[04:09] Kai**
Help me out, Aermo!
**[04:13] Blaster**
We won't let you...
**[04:15] Epona**
...lay a hand...
**[04:16] Flogal**
...on our Vanguard!
**[04:22] Morikawa**
He blocked it!
**[04:24] Morikawa**
That attack had 44,000 power!
**[04:27] Izaki**
It would've gone through
if Kai'd drawn even one trigger!
**[04:38] Miwa**
He knew Kai wouldn't draw a trigger.
**[04:42] Shin**
So that's PSYqualia...
**[04:49] Kai**
Back when everyone else
kept their distance from me,
**[04:53] Kai**
there was just one person
who'd still be nipping at my heels.
**[05:01] Ren**
Damage check!
**[05:04] Ren**
No trigger...
**[05:09] Ren**
I lost!
**[05:12] Kai**
You're weak, Ren.
**[05:14] Ren**
I swear I'll win next time!
**[05:17] Ren**
I have to be perfect!
**[05:21] Ren**
I'm not allowed to lose!
Not even in a Vanguard fight!
**[05:28] Ren**
I haven't beaten you yet,
**[05:30] Ren**
but someday, I will
defeat the invincible Toshiki Kai,
**[05:33] Ren**
and become a perfect fighter!
**[05:36] Kai**
That's right...
**[05:37] Kai**
Ren was the one who was
the most obsessed with "winning"!
**[05:42] Kai**
And then, Ren got PSYqualia...
**[05:45] Aichi**
Stand and draw!
**[05:48] Aichi**
Ride!
**[05:54] Aichi**
Exculpate the Blaster!
**[05:58] Morikawa**
What?!
**[06:00] Morikawa**
That's a grade 4 unit!
**[06:03] Izaki**
You're right!
**[06:05] Inenaga**
Never saw one before!
**[06:06] Morikawa**
Awesome!
**[06:08] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[06:15] Aichi**
Exculpate's skill activates!
**[06:18] Aichi**
This turn, Exculpate attacks
all of my opponent's units!
**[06:24] Kai**
Ren's PSYqualia resulted
from his obsession with winning.
**[06:32] Ren**
There, you see? I won!
**[06:34] Guy**
Darn it!
**[06:35] Ren**
You're weak!
**[06:37] Ren**
Weak, weak, weak, weak, weak!
**[06:40] Ren**
I don't wanna fight any more weaklings.
**[06:43] Ren**
Why don't you quit?
**[06:45] Kai**
Ren did finally start
winning once he got PSYqualia...
**[06:49] Kai**
But I hated the way he fought.
**[06:55] Ren**
I get it! You're intimidated by my power!
**[06:59] Ren**
You're afraid of losing!
**[07:02] Kai**
Was he right about that?
**[07:06] Ren**
You're just afraid of being surpassed
by someone you see as lesser than yourself!
**[07:11] Kai**
Was that really true?
**[07:13] Aichi**
Knight of Silence, Gallatin!
**[07:18] Gallatin**
I am here!
**[07:19] Kai**
If so, then why, when I lost to Aichi...
**[07:23] Kai**
...when I lost for the first time...
**[07:27] Kai**
That card is yours, after all.
**[07:31] Kai**
...why didn't that upset me?!
**[07:35] Aichi**
I attack!
**[07:43] Aichi**
This light will rewrite the world!
**[07:53] Morikawa**
All of his rear-guards got wiped out?!
**[07:55] Inenaga**
And Sendou got a trigger, too!
**[07:58] Izaki**
On top of that, Aichi's not done attacking yet!
**[08:07] Aichi**
Stand up, my avatar!
**[08:14] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[08:17] Kai**
Blaster Blade, here?
**[08:20] Kai**
Come on! Just imagine it!
Imagine yourself being as strong as him.
**[08:31] Kai**
Sheesh...
**[08:33] Emi**
What's going on?
**[08:34] Kamui**
Brother Aichi can attack
two more times this turn.
**[08:38] Kamui**
Kai already has 5 damage,
**[08:42] Kamui**
so if even one attack goes through, Aichi wins!
**[08:44] Emi**
Aichi's going to win?
**[08:47] Misaki**
Does that bother you?
**[08:48] Emi**
It's just, up to a little while ago,
Kai had that scary look in his eyes...
**[08:53] Emi**
But now...
**[08:54] Shin**
Is that the face of resignation?
**[09:00] Aichi**
Go forth, Gallatin!
**[09:01] Gallatin**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[09:05] Kai**
Demonic Dragon Mage, Rakshasa!
Dragon Knight, Nehalem!
**[09:11] Morikawa**
He blocked it!
**[09:12] Kamui**
However, Brother Aichi
still has Blaster Blade's attack!
**[09:17] Misaki**
Don't forget about the Imaginary Gift
and the boost he can get from Wingal.
**[09:21] Misaki**
So it'll be 33,000 power.
**[09:23] Shin**
Kai has two cards left in his hand.
**[09:26] Shin**
Will at least one of those units
be able to protect him?
**[09:34] Miwa**
Kai...
**[09:41] Aichi**
This will settle it!
**[09:43] Aichi**
Blade Rush!
**[09:49] Kai**
You've grown strong, Aichi...
**[09:53] Kai**
No guard!
**[10:02] Kai**
I'm weak...
**[10:05] Kai**
Aichi probably saw the outcome
of this fight with his PSYqualia.
**[10:10] Kai**
It's all over now.
**[10:16] Overlord**
Imagine it.
**[10:19] Kai**
What was that voice?!
**[10:21] Overlord**
Imagine it.
**[10:23] Overlord**
Imagination will become your strength.
**[10:27] Kai**
Could it be...?
**[10:44] Kai**
Is this...
**[10:47] Kai**
...the planet Cray?!
**[11:04] Kai**
I can feel the wind.
**[11:06] Kai**
It's as if I really am
standing on the planet Cray.
**[11:15] Kai**
Right now, I've merged with
Dragonic Overlord to become the Vanguard.
**[11:21] Kai**
But the battle is already--
**[11:25] Overlord**
It isn't over yet, my Vanguard.
**[11:35] Units**
My Vanguard!
**[11:39] Kai**
Up to now, I'd assumed I was fighting alone...
**[11:43] Kai**
But you guys were always
there with me, weren't you?
**[11:52] Kai**
Then I have nothing to fear.
**[11:54] Kai**
There's just one thing I need to do!
**[12:01] Morikawa**
A heal trigger?!
**[12:03] Izaki**
No way!
**[12:04] Inenaga**
This means...
**[12:06] Miwa**
Kai gets another turn!
**[12:10] Aichi**
Kai?
**[12:13] Kai**
Stand and draw!
**[12:16] Kai**
It feels as if I always knew
this would happen one day.
**[12:19] Kai**
You've come to me,
right at this moment? Thank you.
**[12:26] Kamui**
Th-That's...
**[12:30] Kai**
A transcendent lifeform now made incarnate!
**[12:33] Kai**
I ride!
**[12:36] Kai**
Transcendence Dragon,
Dragonic Nouvelle Vague!
**[12:40] Izaki**
That one's grade 4, too!
**[12:42] Inenaga**
What a fight!
**[12:44] Morikawa**
It's a grade 4 feast!
**[12:47] Misaki**
As far as I know,
that wasn't in his deck before!
**[12:53] Miwa**
Could you believe he'd draw
an anti-PSYqualia card right here?!
**[12:58] Miwa**
That a new deck?
**[13:01] Miwa**
I've never seen those cards before.
**[13:05] Aichi**
Does Kai have PSYqualia?!
**[13:08] Kai**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[13:12] Overlord**
You should--
**[13:13] Kai**
Yes, I know.
**[13:16] Kai**
That's right. Berserk Dragon!
**[13:18] Kai**
Nouvelle Vague's skill activates!
**[13:22] Shin**
Nouvelle Vague's power is 45,000.
**[13:25] Shin**
He can block the attack
if he has a perfect guard in his hand...
**[13:28] Misaki**
But Aichi doesn't have
a perfect guard in his hand!
**[13:31] Emi**
And this is before any triggers...
**[13:34] Kai**
Here I come, Aichi!
**[13:35] Kai**
Catastrophe Coagulation!
**[13:43] Kai**
Drive check!
**[13:45] Kai**
Critical trigger!
**[13:47] Kai**
Once more!
**[13:51] Morikawa**
Whoa, look!
**[13:52] Morikawa**
Aichi drew a heal trigger!
**[13:57] Morikawa**
All right!
**[13:59] Izaki**
Yes, but...
**[14:00] Miwa**
With Nouvelle Vague's skill activated...
**[14:09] Kai**
Aichi...
**[14:11] Kai**
Your triggers...
**[14:14] Kai**
...are all void.
**[14:17] Aichi**
Right.
**[14:26] Aichi**
You're amazing, Kai.
**[14:28] Aichi**
Exhibiting PSYqualia right at the last moment...
**[14:34] Kai**
I see... So this is what PSYqualia's like?
**[14:39] Kai**
If PSYqualia manifested for me today,
**[14:42] Kai**
it was from my units encouraging me to win.
**[14:48] Kai**
But above all else, it's because
I had you as my opponent, Aichi!
**[14:53] Aichi**
Kai...
**[14:55] Kai**
It gave me a precious experience...
**[14:59] Kai**
...but I don't actually need this power.
**[15:04] Aichi**
You really are strong, Kai.
**[15:18] Miwa**
You did it, Kai!
**[15:20] Kai**
Miwa...
**[15:21] Inenaga**
That fight was incredible!
**[15:23] Shin**
Yeah!
**[15:24] Morikawa**
Grade 4, you guys! Grade 4!
**[15:26] Morikawa**
That was so cool!
**[15:28] Emi**
Aichi may have lost,
**[15:30] Emi**
but I could tell it was
a really important fight for him!
**[15:32] Misaki**
Do you want to try it too, Emi?
**[15:35] Emi**
Sure!
**[15:36] Kamui**
I'll teach you!
**[15:38] Shin**
You both have the eye of the tiger!
**[15:41] Kai**
That's right.
**[15:43] Kai**
The reason I didn't feel
upset back then, was because...
**[15:46] Aichi**
Kai...
**[15:48] Kai**
It's been a long time since
I've had a fight like this.
**[15:53] Kai**
...I'd just had a serious fight
with an earnest opponent!
**[16:00] Kai**
That meant much more to me than winning.

moving to other high schools?
**[17:12] Morikawa**
Hey, hey, hey!
**[17:16] Shin**
Congratulations, you guys!
**[17:18] Shin**
Just making sure, but,
all of you did graduate, right?
**[17:22] Morikawa**
You bet! Check this out!
***SIGN*** Diploma Katsumi Morikawa
**[17:25] Misaki**
So you're high school students now.
**[17:27] Aichi**
Yes.
**[17:29] Miwa**
But what a surprise, Aichi.
**[17:31] Miwa**
I assumed you'd move up to
Hitsue's high school, where me and Kai go,
**[17:35] Miwa**
but instead you're going to
Miyaji Academy, where Misaki goes.
**[17:38] Kai**
Didn't you go to Miyagi for grade school?
**[17:41] Kai**
So you're going back.
**[17:43] Misaki**
Are you sure you'll be okay?
**[17:45] Emi**
I'm a little concerned, myself...
**[17:48] Aichi**
Well, I decided that I'm not
going to run away from my past.
**[17:53] Kai**
I see.
**[17:58] Kamui**
Huh, you guys are here already!
**[18:01] Morikawa**
Whoa, what's with the getup, Kamui?!
**[18:03] Morikawa**
You graduate kindergarten?
**[18:05] Kamui**
I'll have ya know my *grade-school*
graduation ceremony was today!
**[18:08] Emi**
Oh, mine was too!
**[18:15] Kamui**
M-M-Miss Emi!
**[18:17] Kamui**
Th-Th-That looks great on you!
**[18:20] Emi**
Thank you!
**[18:22] Shin**
All right! Shall we get started?!
***SIGN*** Aichi and Emi's (and the rest's) Graduation Party
**[18:26] Shin**
In celebration of Aichi and Emi's graduation...
**[18:29] Kamui**
And mine, too!
**[18:30] The Three**
Ours, too!
**[18:32] Shin**
...a grand Vanguard tournament!
**[18:34] All**
Yeah!
**[18:36] Morikawa**
All right! Attack!
**[18:38] Izaki**
Stand and draw!
**[18:39] Inenaga**
I got a critical trigger!
**[18:41] Kamui**
Imaginary Gift!
**[18:43] Miwa**
Here I come!
**[18:45] Misaki**
I ride!
**[18:47] Morikawa**
Yeah!
**[18:48] Emi**
Hmm...
**[18:55] Aichi**
Thank you for the game.
**[19:03] Kai**
Wanna fight?
**[19:06] Aichi**
Yeah!
**[19:10] Kai**
So you're not going to
run away from your past, huh?
**[19:14] Aichi**
Huh?
**[19:17] Kai**
I myself moved back
to this town exactly one year ago.
***SIGN*** Insurance Policy
**[19:23] Uncle**
Your father left this behind:
**[19:25] Uncle**
An educational endowment,
in the name of Toshiki Kai.
**[19:29] Uncle**
So long as you economize,
**[19:31] Uncle**
you should have enough money to live

**[19:40] Uncle**
You'll be starting high school soon.
**[19:44] Uncle**
It's best that you leave here
and live the life that you want.
**[19:50] Kai**
And so I met Aichi again.
**[19:53] Kai**
Aichi...
**[19:55] Kai**
You may have been
surrounded by enemies in the past,
**[20:00] Kai**
but now, you're surrounded by friends.
**[20:06] Kai**
All I did was give you
the opportunity to make them.
**[20:10] Kai**
You turned everyone around you,
**[20:13] Kai**
as well as the card units, into your friends.
**[20:17] Aichi**
My Vanguard attacks!
**[20:20] Kai**
You yourself are your own special power, Aichi.
**[20:31] Kai**
I'm so glad...
**[20:34] Aichi**
I won today!
**[20:37] Kai**
...that I came back.
**[20:41] Aichi**
Kai...
**[20:43] Kai**
What's the matter, Aichi?
**[20:50] Kai**
Why cry when you won?
**[20:54] Aichi**
It's just that...
**[20:56] Achi**
Kai, you're...
**[20:58] Aichi**
the one smiling...
**[21:04] Kai**
Oh...
**[21:06] Morikawa**
Huh, so you won, Aichi?!
**[21:09] The Two**
You did it!
**[21:10] Misaki**
That's our Aichi!
**[21:12] Miwa**
All right! Play against me next!
**[21:14] Kamui**
No, I'm next!
**[21:16] Emi**
You're not going to play against me?
**[21:18] Kamui**
Oh, uh, I meant after that...
**[21:28] Kai**
Aichi...
**[21:29] Kai**
You are...
**[21:35] Kai**
...our Vanguard!
**[23:10] Aichi**
Um, I'm Aichi Sendou.
**[23:13] Aichi**
This spring I'll be a first year
at Miyaji Academy's high-school division.
**[23:16] Aichi**
I never told anyone about this,
but for some strange reason,
**[23:19] Aichi**
I found an application for admission
to Fukuhara High School in my mailbox.
**[23:23] Aichi**
And not just one--they kept coming!
**[23:26] Aichi**
On the last one, someone had even written,
"You really should come to Fukuhara."
**[23:30] Aichi**
It felt kind of creepy, so I just ignored them,
**[23:33] Aichi**
but I wonder who put them in my mailbox...

Now, you need to hurry, Aichi!

Aichi is still Aichi.
**[01:14] Kai**
He sure is.
**[01:19] Blaster**
This is my Vanguard, Aichi Sendou.
**[01:24] Blaster**
I am Royal Paladin's
noble knight, Blaster Blade!
**[01:29] Blaster**
And also...
**[01:30] Aichi**
Stand up, my avatar!

From the military force of planet Cray's

Royal Paladin's Sword of Light!
**[01:44] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[01:48] Blaster**
...I am Aichi Sendou's avatar.
**[01:50] Blaster**
Over the course of many fights,
**[01:52] Blaster**
my Vanguard has climbed to ever-greater heights.
**[01:57] Blaster**
With his infinite courage
and unflagging sense of justice,
**[02:01] Blaster**
he has never let me down in a fight.
**[02:04] Blaster**
Yes. No matter the situation,
Aichi is always with me.
**[02:07] Blaster**
Good even-guard, everyone.
**[02:09] Blaster**
For the next half-hour,
**[02:11] Blaster**
I shall be telling you everything you've
ever wanted to know about my Vanguard.

**[02:22] Blaster**
We start with a look at his past!
**[02:46] Young Kai**
Sorry.
**[02:58] Young Kai**
What happened to you?
**[03:00] Young Kai**
Did you lose a fight or something?
**[03:02] Young Kai**
But you don't seem the fighting type.
**[03:05] Young Kai**
Did you get bullied?
**[03:14] Young Kai**
You wanna try this? It's fun.
**[03:26] Blaster**
This is where it all began--
**[03:27] Battleraizer**
Hold it right there!
**[03:29] Battleraizer**
Good even-guard!
**[03:31] Battleraizer**
I'm Kamui Katsuragi's Vanguard, Battleraizer!
**[03:34] Blaster**
H-He found me...
**[03:36] Battleraizer**
Hey! What's the big idea,
hogging the whole show?!
**[03:40] Blaster**
Oh, very well.
**[03:41] Blaster**
How about if I get the first half,
and you take the second half?
**[03:47] Battleraizer**
It's a deal!
**[03:48] Magus**
No deal!
**[03:49] Battleraizer**
Th-Thank you very much...
**[03:52] Magus**
Good even-guard, everyone!
**[03:54] Magus**
I'm Misaki's BFF, Lozenge Magus!
**[03:57] Magus**
Honestly! Don't tell me you forgot
**[03:59] Magus**
the whole point of today's show was to give
the viewers an in-depth look at Vanguard?!
**[04:04] Blaster**
Sorry. My mind was occupied with my Vanguard.
**[04:08] Battleraizer**
But they've already seen all this stuff...
**[04:11] Battleraizer**
It'd be just another clips show...
**[04:15] Battleraizer**
Th-Thank you very much...

I shall begin by introducing
the glorious knights of Royal Paladin!
***SIGN*** Knight of Silence, Gallatin
**[06:09] Blaster**
Knight of Silence, Gallatin!
**[06:11] Blaster**
An excellent knight
who always lends his support!
**[06:14] Gallatin**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[06:17] Aichi**
Thank you, Gallatin!
**[06:18] Gallatin**
No problem.
**[06:21] Gallatin**
No problem.
**[06:22] Gallatin**
No problem.
**[06:24] Blaster**
Huh?
**[06:26] Magus**
He's a knight of "silence"?
**[06:26] Gallatin**
No problem.
**[06:27] Gallatin**
No problem.
**[06:28] Battleraizer**
Gallatin talks too much...
**[06:29] Gallatin**
No problem.
**[06:31] Blaster**
Next up is you, Knight Squire, Allen!
***SIGN*** Knight Squire, Allen
**[06:35] Blaster**
This knight squire is
essential to Royal Paladin.
**[06:40] Blaster**
Not only for fights, but also for dusting,
doing the laundry, and scrubbing the bathtub.
**[06:43] Blaster**
He's also very good about
taking Glyme for regular walks!
**[06:46] Battleraizer**
"Glyme"?
***SIGN*** Glyme
**[06:49] Magus**
Their First Vanguard!
**[06:51] Aichi**
I ride Glyme!
**[06:53] Magus**
Right, that's the one!
**[06:54] Battleraizer**
Huh, so there're other kinds of
units in Royal Paladin besides knights?
***SIGN*** Wingal
**[06:59] Blaster**
Moving on to Wingal!
**[07:01] Aichi**
Wingal, lend me your power!
**[07:03] Wingal**
Aye aye, sir!
**[07:04] Battleraizer**
Wha...?! They're all dogs!
***SIGN*** Dog
***SIGN*** High Dog Breeder, Akane
**[07:06] Blaster**
Don't underestimate them!
**[07:08] Blaster**
They were trained as superior
warriors by High Dog Breeder, Akane!
***SIGN*** Little Sage, Marron
**[07:12] Blaster**
And here is Akane's mentor, Little Sage, Marron.
**[07:17] Blaster**
We're always connected
to each other by a strong bond.
**[07:20] Marron**
Yes! The strong bond
that will lead us to victory!
**[07:24] Blaster**
It is none other than the
young ruler who leads Royal Paladin!
**[07:28] Blaster**
His name:
**[07:29] Aichi**
I ride!
**[07:35] Aichi**
Come to me now, leader of light!
**[07:39] Aichi**
Prince of Royal Paladin!
**[07:42] Aichi**
Alfred Early!
***SIGN*** Alfred Early
**[07:46] Blaster**
Alfred Early!
**[07:48] Battleraizer**
Whoa!
**[07:49] Magus**
I remember! That's the unit
Aichi used when he fought Misaki!
**[07:54] Blaster**
It was a worthy battle.
Our young ruler thought so as well.
**[07:58] Magus**
Yeah.
**[07:59] Blaster**
But that strength of will let him mature
**[08:02] Blaster**
and grow all the more brilliant...
***SIGN*** King of Knights, Alfred
**[08:04] Blaster**
...as King of Knights, Alfred!
**[08:06] The Two**
Cool!
**[08:08] Blaster**
Our grand commander, fittingly known
as the embodiment of light.
**[08:12] Blaster**
You could call this unit
the father of Royal Paladin!
**[08:15] Battleraizer**
Royal Paladin's father?!
**[08:17] Battleraizer**
Meaning you've got a mother too?!
**[08:19] Blaster**
Naturally!
***SIGN*** Soul Saver Dragon
**[08:21] Blaster**
The manifestation of a legendary dragon!
**[08:23] Blaster**
Soul Saver Dragon!
**[08:26] Magus**
What makes this unit motherly?
**[08:29] Magus**
Oh, right. The chest.
**[08:31] Blaster**
Our mother watches over all living things.
**[08:36] Blaster**
This is Royal Paladin's
guardian dragon of light.
***SIGN*** Shield
**[08:39] Battleraizer**
A guardian dragon...
**[08:41] Battleraizer**
That reminds me of perfect guards.
**[08:43] Blaster**
Which is the role of this unit!
***SIGN*** Flash Shield, Iseult
**[08:46] Blaster**
Flash Shield, Iseult!
**[08:48] Blaster**
As long as she is with us,
darkness will never reach Royal Paladin.
**[08:53] Blaster**
She has protected my sword as well.
**[08:56] Blaster**
However, as I learned about
the darkness and how to conquer it,
**[08:58] Blaster**
I obtained a new future!
**[09:01] Aichi**
I ride!
***SIGN*** Exculpate the Blaster
**[09:04] Battleraizer**
Wow! What is this?!
**[09:06] Aichi**
Exculpate the Blaster!
**[09:10] Magus**
I see!
**[09:11] Magus**
This is the mature form
of Blaster Blade, right?
**[09:14] Blaster**
He sought out a light
even stronger than mine.
**[09:17] Blaster**
But there can be no light without darkness.
**[09:19] Blaster**
To attain that light,
one must know true darkness.
**[09:22] Blaster**
In other words...
**[09:24] Dark**
It's my turn!
**[09:25] Magus**
Huh?!
**[09:26] Dark**
Those flashbacks made for the perfect timing...
**[09:28] Dark**
It's as if you called
for the knight of darkness!
**[09:30] Dark**
My name is--
**[09:31] Magus**
You're going last!
**[09:34] Dark**
Fine...

I'm the strongest warrior of all!

**[10:31] Battleraizer**
Hooray for me, the strongest warrior!
**[10:33] Blaster**
Th-That's cheating!
**[10:35] Blaster**
To think there was a unit
like that on the planet Cray!
**[10:38] Magus**
That's enough of your drivel, you liar-Raizer!
**[10:42] Blaster**
He was lying?
**[10:44] Battleraizer**
But, I am First Vanguard,
and the basis for all the other Raizers,
**[10:48] Battleraizer**
so if you were nice, you could
play along with me being the strongest...
**[10:51] Magus**
Whatever! Hurry it up!
**[10:53] Battleraizer**
Okay!
***SIGN*** Raizer Custom
**[10:54] Battleraizer**
There are lots of different Raizers.
**[10:56] Battleraizer**
For example, this one, Raizer Custom!
**[10:58] Battleraizer**
This guy uses me as
the base to power up weapons!
**[11:02] Battleraizer**
There're also Transraizer and Jetraizer,
who specialize in mobility.
**[11:06] Battleraizer**
And don't forget my successor: Burstraizer!
**[11:09] Battleraizer**
Or Hi-powered Raizer Custom,
which improves on Raizer Custom!
**[11:13] Battleraizer**
Then there's the
culmination of the Raizer series!
**[11:15] Battleraizer**
Its name sums it up perfectly!
**[11:17] Battleraizer**
Perfect Raizer!
**[11:20] Blaster**
So does the Raizer series
have a perfect guard?
**[11:24] Battleraizer**
No, this is our perfect guard!
***SIGN*** Twin Blader

Pretty cool, huh?!
**[11:29] Blaster**
Well, but, something about it...
**[11:31] Battleraizer**

**[11:32] Blaster**
I feel like I've seen

**[13:55] Misaki**
put one into my hand, and put the other
either back on the deck or into the Soul.
**[14:00] Misaki**
I'll put it back on the deck.
**[14:02] Magus**
Our Vanguard can manipulate fate!
**[14:04] Misaki**
Twin drive!
**[14:06] Misaki**
First check!
**[14:07] Misaki**

**[14:09] Magus**
In other words, she's able to
make an uncertain future certain!

Now that's an Oracle!

**[14:19] Magus**
This unit delivers good fortune.
**[14:22] Misaki**
Come, Luck Bird!
**[14:23] Battleraizer**
I want one of those, too!
***SIGN*** Bird
**[14:26] Blaster**
But if it has that much power,
***SIGN*** Luck Bird
**[14:28] Blaster**
wouldn't evildoers try to attain it
for their own nefarious misdeeds?
**[14:31] Magus**
There's nothing to worry about!
**[14:33] Magus**
We have specialists who
exterminate scoundrels like that.
***SIGN*** Silent Tom

**[15:00] Battleraizer**
Y-Yes, I understand very well.
**[15:03] Blaster**
C-Certainly, it seems you
would be safe with them around.
**[15:07] Battleraizer**
But speaking of the future,
could ya give my Vanguard a love forecast!?
**[15:13] Magus**
Well, if I must...
***SIGN*** Not a Winner
**[15:21] Magus**
Too bad. No trigger.

Honestly! You should've just stayed in there.
**[17:53] Blaster**
We just have Shadow Paladin left.
**[17:55] Blaster**
Considering that we're already
in a dark mood here at the studio...

Indeed.
***SIGN*** Unit Encyclopedia 5 Shadow Paladin

This darkness, this world of the abyss

***SIGN*** Blaster Dark
**[18:19] Dark**
Behold! The knight of darkness!
**[18:23] Magus**
But isn't that...
**[18:24] Magus**
...just Blaster Blade with a palette swap?!
***SIGN*** OMG!
**[18:28] Dark**
A p-palette swap?!
**[18:31] Blaster**
That seemed rather harsh...
**[18:33] Blaster**
It may also anger the fans.
**[18:36] Magus**
Oh, you think so?
**[18:38] Battleraizer**
H-He's lost his nerve again.
**[18:40] Blaster**
We should get back on track.
**[18:42] Magus**
Oh, very well.
**[18:44] Magus**
Let's cheer him up with phrases
that'd appeal to his dark fantasies.
**[18:47] Battleraizer**
Great idea!
**[18:48] Blaster**
Jet-black formula!

**[19:11] Magus**
Yeah.
**[19:12] Magus**
We couldn't let the show stop in its tracks.
**[19:14] Magus**
Yikes. He's got a weak spirit
and is awful at follow-through.
**[19:18] Battleraizer**
You said it.

Look!
***SIGN*** The Dark Dictator

Time's up.
***SIGN*** The End
**[19:40] Blaster**
As I suspected, it's impossible
**[19:42] Blaster**
to introduce everyone from
the planet Cray in this short a time.
***SIGN*** The End
***SIGN*** Unit Encyclopedia
**[19:48] Battleraizer**
Yeah, we didn't really introduce enough
units to justify calling it an "Encyclopedia."
**[19:52] Battleraizer**
There're lots of clans we didn't even get to.
**[19:55] Magus**
It's fine!
**[19:56] Magus**
We got to talk about ourselves.
That's enough for me.
**[20:01] Blaster**
True. We can leave the rest to you.
**[20:04] Blaster**
You viewers who can imagine
yourselves as becoming stronger.
**[20:07] Blaster**
Right, hunter of the night?
**[20:10] Dark**
Exactly!
**[20:11] Dark**
It's all about imagination.
**[20:13] Dark**
We residents of Cray
will always respond to that.
**[20:18] Blaster**
All right, everyone together!
**[20:20] Blaster**
Stand up...
**[20:21] Dark**
...The...

**[20:45] Aichi**
Sorry for making you
come all this way with me, Emi.
**[20:50] Emi**
Now you're saying that, Aichi?
**[20:53] Emi**
What was your reason for going to Singapore?
**[20:57] Aichi**
Well...
**[21:00] Aichi**
To participate in the
Vanguard Fight Asia Circuit.
**[21:04] Emi**
Right?
**[21:05] Emi**
You've made it this far by winning,
so you have to do your best.
**[21:09] Aichi**
Yeah.
**[21:12] Emi**
And I'll be there to cheer you on, Aichi.
**[21:16] Announcement**
In about ten minutes, we will be landing
**[21:19] Announcement**
at Singapore Changi Airport.
**[21:21] Aichi**
Everybody back home told me to do my best, too.
**[21:26] Aichi**
So...
**[21:30] Aichi**
...let's go, Blaster Blade!
**[23:11] Battleraizer**
Wow! Amazing!
**[23:12] Magus**
What is?
**[23:13] Battleraizer**
The number of comments this broadcast got!
**[23:15] Battleraizer**
I count 10,000 for me alone!
**[23:18] Magus**
But the broadcast only just finished!
**[23:22] Magus**
You liar-Raizer!
**[23:24] Magus**
Quit telling whoppers!
**[23:26] Blaster**
Now, now...
**[23:27] Blaster**
So long as we can connect
with our viewers' imaginations...
**[23:31] Battleraizer**
Yeah! That's what I meant to say!
**[23:33] Blaster**
Vanguards, imagine it!

**[00:09] MC**
Here in Singapore, it's the finale of
this year's Vanguard Fight Asia Circuit!
**[00:16] MC**
Looking on is our sponsor Takuto Tatsunagi,
the young chairman of the Tatsunagi Foundation,
**[00:21] MC**
along with the three members
of Ultra-rare, our official supporters.
**[00:26] MC**
And now for the final match!
**[00:35] MC**
From Hong Kong!
Asia's young noble, Leon Soryu!
**[00:39] Jillian**
Best of luck, Leon!
**[00:42] Sharlene**
But with that opponent, he'll have no problem!
**[00:47] Leon**
Been a while, hasn't it?
**[00:50] Aichi**
Yes.
**[00:51] MC**
Having become our
youngest champion ever last year,
**[00:54] MC**
Leon Soryu will prove a
difficult challenge to his opponent.
**[00:58] MC**
This newcomer defeated many of
Asia's powerhouses in the opening rounds,
**[01:02] MC**
and went on to beat Japan's
Ren Suzugamori in the semifinals.
**[01:07] MC**
From Japan!
The dark horse superstar, Aichi Sendou!
**[01:13] Emi**
Good luck, Aichi!
**[01:24] MC**
Now, the fight begins!
**[01:27] Aichi**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[01:27] Leon**
Stand up, my Vanguard!
**[01:32] Aichi**
Vanguard.
**[01:33] Aichi**
It's a card game in which you yourself
become the vanguard and fight!
**[01:38] Kai**
Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!
***SIGN*** Image 27
Stand Up! High School Life!!
**[01:55] MC**
At the end of the fifth turn,
**[01:57] MC**
Leon Soryu has 4 damage,
**[02:00] MC**
while Aichi Sendou has 3 damage!
**[02:03] Leon**
You certainly are like
a different person from before.
**[02:06] Aichi**
Huh?
**[02:07] Leon**
But then, I'm not the person I was, either.
**[02:15] Leon**
Here I come!
**[02:18] Leon**
A slumbering giant dragon
awakens from the depths.
**[02:22] Leon**
I ride...
**[02:24] Leon**
Blue Storm Dragon, Maelstrom!
**[02:30] Leon**
Go forth, Marine General
of the Restless Tides, Algos!
**[02:38] Aichi**
Wingal!
**[02:42] Leon**
Judgment Maelstrom!
**[02:51] Aichi**
Flogal!
**[02:59] Leon**
I'm impressed you survived that.
**[03:01] Leon**
But now the storm really begins.
**[03:08] Leon**
After that attack,
it's possible for me to make another one.
**[03:12] Leon**
Judgment Maelstrom!
**[03:30] Blaster**
My Vanguard!
**[03:37] Aichi**
Don't worry, Blaster Blade.
**[03:44] Nagisa**
Aw, so close!
**[03:45] Nagisa**
He even had him
against the wall with 5 damage!
**[03:47] Gouki**
Have you forgotten, Nagisa?
**[03:49] Gouki**
Algos made the first attack this turn.
**[03:52] Nagisa**
You mean...
**[03:54] Koutei**
Algos can attack again.
**[03:56] Koutei**
Five attacks...
**[03:58] Koutei**
That's Leon for you.
**[04:00] Nagisa**
Finish him, Leon!
**[04:09] Aichi**
Thank you, everyone!
**[04:14] MC**
Aichi Sendou survived five attacks
from Leon Soryu by the skin of his teeth!
**[04:21] Leon**
So then you can hear them as well...
**[04:25] Leon**
Your units' voices.
**[04:28] Aichi**
Stand and...
**[04:29] Aichi**
...draw!
**[04:31] Aich**
I ride!
**[04:36] Aichi**
Exculpate the Blaster!
**[04:45] Leon**
My storm...
**[04:49] Leon**
...has subsided?!
**[05:02] Leon**
That intense wind coming from you...
**[05:07] Leon**
It must be...
**[05:10] Aichi**
Here I come!
**[05:12] Aichi**
Immeasurable Blade!
**[05:18] Leon**
Medical Officer of the Rainbow Elixir!
**[05:25] Leon**
My rear-guards!
**[05:46] Aichi**
Let's go, Wingal!
**[05:48] Wingal**
Yes, sir!
**[05:56] Leon**
Aichi Sendou, have you...
**[06:11] Leon**
...surpassed my imagination?!
**[06:20] MC**
It's over!
**[06:24] MC**
The winner is Japan's Aichi Sendou!
**[06:28] Jillian**
It can't be! Leon lost?!
**[06:32] Sharlene**
Wah! Jillian!
**[06:37] Emi**
Aichi!
**[06:43] The Five**
All right!
**[06:46] Kamui**
I knew it! I knew he'd win!
**[06:49] Shin**
It's been about a year
since he first came to this shop...
**[06:53] Shin**
Aichi sure has changed, hasn't he?
**[06:56] Shin**
Misaki?
**[06:59] Misaki**
Y-Yes, he has...
**[07:03] Tetsu**
So Sendou won...
**[07:05] Tetsu**
I thought I saw his PSYqualia activate, but...
**[07:08] Kyou**
Didn't you just imagine that?
**[07:10] Asaka**
Seriously. He never used it
during his semifinal match with Ren.
**[07:15] Tetsu**
If so, then both of them have
probably sealed the power away.
**[07:27] Takuto**
Incredible...
**[07:29] Takuto**
To think I would ever see
a fighter surpass Leon Soryu!
**[07:37] MC**
And now, this trio will perform a song for us!
**[07:43] MC**
Upon the stage of destiny...
**[07:46] MC**
Stand up!
**[07:48] MC**
Ultra-Rare! "Destiny Calls!"
**[09:06] Miwa**
Suiko really is the coolest ever!
**[09:09] The Two**
No way! That's Rekka!
**[09:11] Morikawa**
Morons! Kourin's the real star!
**[09:14] Misaki**
All of you, shut up!
**[09:16] The Four**
Here she comes...
**[09:18] Miwa**
Misaki?
**[09:20] Misaki**
What?
**[09:22] Miwa**
Misaki, you're acting strange.
**[09:25] Miwa**
Isn't she, Kai?
**[09:26] Kai**
Huh? Yeah...
**[09:28] Miwa**
Why're you brooding, too?
**[09:33] Suiko**
That power of yours... could be PSYqualia.
**[09:37] Kai**
That's the girl who told Ren
his power was named "PSYqualia".
**[09:43] Miwa**
Say what?!
**[09:44] Miwa**
That total jerk Ren knows Suiko?!
**[09:47] Kai**
No.
**[09:48] Kai**
He might not even remember that happening.
**[09:53] Miwa**
Hmm, what a waste.
**[09:56] Kamui**
I wish I could've participated, too!
**[09:59] Kamui**
If only I hadn't been matched up
with Brother Aichi in the Japan tournament!
**[10:02] Kamui**
Then I could've gone!
**[10:04] Shin**
I wish you had entered too, Misaki.
**[10:07] Misaki**
I couldn't. There's work to be done here.
**[10:10] Shin**
Oh, right...
**[10:13] Miwa**
If you'd entered,
things might've gone much differently.
**[10:17] Kai**
I'm not so sure.
**[10:20] Kai**
Aichi still would've won.
**[10:28] Takuto**
I was greatly impressed
by your passionate fighting.
**[10:32] Takuto**
Thank you for all
your wonderful Vanguard fights!
**[10:39] Takuto**
And Aichi Sendou,
congratulations on your victory.
**[10:49] MC**
The Ultra-rare trio will now
present the victors with their trophies.
**[10:53] MC**
I'm so jealous!
**[11:00] Kourin**
Congratulations on your victory, Aichi Sendou.
**[11:05] Aichi**
Thank you very much.
**[11:07] Aichi**
I-Is something wrong?
**[11:18] Rekka**
Congratulations, Leon!
**[11:20] Leon**
Thank you!
**[11:22] Suiko**
Congratulations.
**[11:24] Ren**
Well, I guess I'll take it.
**[11:27] MC**
Let's have one more
generous round of applause
**[11:30] MC**
for this year's
three strongest fighters in Asia!
**[11:35] Emi**
Congratulations, Aichi!

Thank you!

So this is the hand that shook Kourin's...

Having one of our regulars become

**[13:04] Miwa**
Misaki!
**[13:06] Miwa**
You got a haircut!
**[13:08] Misaki**
Y-Yeah. I just felt like one.
**[13:11] Miwa**
Well...
**[13:12] Miwa**
It looks great on you!
**[13:23] Aichi**
I didn't expect everyone
would celebrate like that for me.
**[13:27] Misaki**
We're all happy for you.
**[13:32] Aichi**
Was there a reason?
**[13:33] Misaki**
Huh?
**[13:34] Aichi**
I-I just wondered why you cut your hair...
**[13:39] Akari**
Misaki!
**[13:41] Aichi**
See you!
**[13:43] Akari**
Good morning!
**[13:45] Misaki**
G-Good morning.
**[13:49] Shin**
Aichi sure has changed, hasn't he?
**[13:53] Misaki**
"Was there a reason?"
**[13:59] Misaki**
Aichi, you're already so...
**[14:05] Aichi**
Let's see...
**[14:08] Girl**
What's that?
**[14:11] Aichi**
Oh, um, it's a card game.
**[14:14] Aichi**
It's called Vanguard.
**[14:16] Aichi**
Have you heard of it?
**[14:18] Girl**
Not at all.
**[14:19] Aichi**
That's not a surprise...
**[14:23] The Three**
What?!
**[14:25] Kamui**
At Miyaji Academy...
**[14:27] Miwa**
...Vanguard...
**[14:28] The Three**
...isn't popular at all?!
**[14:32] Kamui**
Everyone in my class plays it!
**[14:35] Miwa**
Everyone? That sounds like an exaggeration...
**[14:37] Morikawa**
Something's seriously wrong with your school!
**[14:40] Misaki**
It's because it's a college prep school.
**[14:42] The Three**
Huh?
**[14:43] Misaki**
Everyone's busy with their studies.
**[14:46] Kamui**
Omigod!
**[14:47] Miwa**
Even though the Asia champion goes there?!
**[14:49] Morikawa**
Why the heck are you...
**[14:51] The Three**
...at that school?!
**[14:57] Classmate A**
You gonna take the next national practice exam?
**[14:59] Classmate B**
I'm not sure which college I wanna go to...
**[15:01] Classmate C**
Yeah, I'm 70th percentile.
**[15:09] Naoki**
They all just talk about boring crap here...
**[15:14] Boy A**
I know, right?
**[15:16] The Two**
Wh-Wha...?!
**[15:18] Boy A**
S-S-S-Sorry!
**[15:20] Boy B**
I-It was an accident!
**[15:26] Boy B**
Man, Ishida's face is so scary...
**[15:28] Boy A**
Dummy!
**[15:29] Boy A**
He'll hear you!
**[15:42] Aichi**
Well, time to go to Capital!
**[15:46] Naoki**
What the heck's he smiling for?
**[15:49] Aichi**
All right.
**[15:54] Naoki**
It kinda ticks me off...
**[16:09] Classmate A**
What's wrong?
**[16:10] Classmate B**
Sendou fell?
**[16:12] Classmate C**
Did Ishida trip him?
**[16:18] Aichi**
Sorry, Ishida.
**[16:20] Naoki**
Huh?!
**[16:22] Aichi**
I bumped into your foot...
**[16:26] Naoki**
That was obviously my fault!
**[16:29] Naoki**
He's not calling me on it?!
**[16:32] Aichi**
W-Well, I'll be going now...
**[16:35] Naoki**
O-Okay.
**[16:41] Naoki**
What's with that guy?
**[16:58] Naoki**
This's so boring...
**[17:04] Morikawa**
Damage check!
**[17:06] Morikawa**
No trigger!
**[17:09] Miwa**

A Cardfight club?
**[17:31] Izaki**
Lemme see!
**[17:32] Morikawa**
Give it here.
**[17:34] Aichi**
I'd like for everyone at Miyaji Academy
to get to know how fun Vanguard is.
**[17:38] Aichi**
And I want to enjoy it with them.
**[17:44] Miwa**
Pretty good idea!
**[17:45] Morikawa**
Yeah, really!
**[17:47] Morikawa**
Since the Asia champion himself's doing
the inviting, you'll get members in no time!
**[17:52] Miwa**
Even better...
**[17:53] Miwa**
Misaki will be there to help you.
**[17:55] Misaki**
Huh?
**[17:57] Miwa**
Am I right?
**[18:00] Misaki**
I can't join any clubs.
**[18:03] Misaki**
I have my work to do here at the shop.
**[18:07] Miwa**
Don't be like that...
You must have some free time.
**[18:11] Aichi**
Miwa, you don't have to pester her about it...

**[00:03] Student A**
Ms. Tatsunagi!
**[00:04] Student B**
You're so cute, Kourin!
**[00:06] Student C**
I'm a big fan!
**[00:08] Student C**
Could I have your autograph?
**[00:09] Student A**
Hey, you jerk! That's out of line!
**[00:12] Student B**
That's right! Our teacher said
we should treat her with discretion!
**[00:17] Kourin**
While I'm at this school,
I'm simply a fellow student.
**[00:22] Kourin**
I hope we can all be friends
**[00:24] Kourin**
without any fuss made over me.
**[00:27] The Four**
Yes! Let's be friends!
**[00:29] Student E**
H-Hey, that's one of the members of the
Tatsunagi family's idol group, "Ultra-rare"!
**[00:34] Student F**
What?! The IT industry conglomerate
**[00:36] Student F**
that's also said to dominate
the media all around the world?!
**[00:39] Student F**
The Tatsunagi Foundation?!
**[00:41] Student G**
I wanna get closer to her!
**[00:44] Aichi**
E-Excuse me...
**[00:46] Aichi**
Please let me by.
**[00:47] Student H**
Look, it's Kourin!
**[00:49] Naoki**
You're in the way! Move!
**[00:57] Aichi**
U-Um...
**[00:58] Aichi**
Thank you, Ishida.
**[01:01] Naoki**
Huh? I didn't do jack.
**[01:04] Aichi**
Isn't it amazing that
an idol transferred into our class?
**[01:08] Naoki**
You think so?
**[01:09] Naoki**
It's just annoying to me,
how everybody's gushing over her.
**[01:12] Aichi**
I suppose I'm not very comfortable
with all the commotion, either.
**[01:20] Aichi**
But anyway...
**[01:21] Aichi**
I'm going to go put up my Cardfight Club fliers.
**[01:25] Naoki**
Fliers?
**[01:27] Aichi**
S-Sorry.
**[01:29] Aichi**
I bumped into you again.
**[01:32] Aichi**
Oh! Maybe you'd like...
**[01:37] Naoki**
Oh, that.
**[01:39] Aichi**
This morning I put up a flier
**[01:41] Aichi**
on the bulletin board
in front of the faculty room,
**[01:44] Aichi**
but the response was kind of... lukewarm...
**[01:48] Aichi**
So I thought I'd be
a little more proactive about it.
**[01:52] Naoki**
You're gonna put up all of those?
**[01:54] Aichi**
I guess it is a lot...
**[01:56] Naoki**
Well...
**[01:58] Naoki**
Good luck with that.
**[01:59] Aichi**
Thanks!
**[02:02] Aichi**
Did that go okay?
**[02:05] Aichi**
I didn't act strange, did I?
**[02:07] Aichi**
No, I feel like I did a good job
of talking to him normally.
**[02:21] Aichi**
No, I can't let it get to me.
**[02:24] Aichi**
I won't cower in fear anymore.
**[02:28] Aichi**
Now, let's get started!
This is just the beginning!
**[02:31] Aichi**
Stand up, High School Life!
**[02:35] Aichi**
Oh, uh, n-nothing...
**[02:38] Aichi**
I'm now a student at Miyaji Academy
**[02:41] Aichi**
and have decided to start a Cardfight Club...
**[02:46] Aichi**
I've got to imagine it!
**[02:49] Aichi**
Today, my imagination will take shape!

What's with me?
**[04:32] Naoki**
Chatting with a kid like that...
**[04:34] Naoki**
Sheesh. It ain't like we're friends...
**[04:38] Boy A**
Naoki!
**[04:40] Boy A**
C'mere, Naoki!
**[04:43] Boy A**
This is fun!
**[04:45] Boy A**
If he falls, you get one point.
**[04:47] Boy A**
If he cries, you get ten points.
**[04:49] Boy A**
Well? Wanna give it a try?
**[04:51] Young Naoki**
That's dumb.
**[04:56] Naoki**
I thought, "That's boring..."
and didn't do anything.
**[05:03] Naoki**
If I remember right, those bullies
all got expelled from the academy after that.
**[05:14] Naoki**
Aw, nuts!
**[05:19] Naoki**
But still...
**[05:21] Naoki**
...the kid who got bullied's
come back to the academy.
**[05:24] Naoki**
And he's trying to do... something.
**[05:27] Naoki**
Seriously, what's this
card club thing he's trying to form?
**[05:35] Aichi**
W-Won't you join the Cardfight Club?!
**[05:38] Aichi**
If you're curious, please try it out!
**[05:40] Aichi**
U-Um...
**[05:42] Aichi**
Even if you've never played, I'll teach you!
**[05:45] Aichi**
I guarantee it'll be fun!
**[05:47] Aichi**
How about it?!
**[05:49] Student H**
What's he doing? Soliciting for a club?
**[05:52] Student I**
No one's going to join anything like that!
**[05:55] Student J**
Let's go, Kourin.
**[05:57] Student K**
Huh? But wait...
**[05:59] Student K**
Didn't Kourin do a commercial
for some card game?
**[06:03] Kourin**
Well then, good day to you all.
**[06:11] Student H**
Check out that car!
**[06:12] Student I**
That's the Tatsunagi Foundation for you.
**[06:21] Aichi**
In the end, not one person took a flier...
**[06:26] Aichi**
No, it's just that they're
not familiar with Vanguard yet.
**[06:30] Aichi**
I have to work harder at making sure
they all know just how fun the game is!
**[06:39] Naoki**
That kid lives near here?
**[06:47] Naoki**
What's this place?
**[06:50] Naoki**
"Card Capital"?
**[06:53] Aichi**
Hello!
**[06:54] Kamui**
Brother Aichi!
**[06:55] Morikawa**
You're late!
**[06:56] Miwa**
Fight me first!
**[06:58] Kamui**
No, I'm first!
**[07:00] Naoki**
I don't get why,
but the kid seems awful popular here!
**[07:04] Shin**
Welcome!
**[07:06] Kamui**
Me! Me!
**[07:07] Kamui**
I'm first!
**[07:07] Naoki**
O-Old man!
**[07:08] Shin**
Yes?
**[07:09] Shin**
Wait, I'm old?!
**[07:11] Naoki**
Hey, old man...
**[07:13] Naoki**
What kinda shop is this?!
**[07:14] Shun**
I'm so glad you asked!
**[07:18] Shin**
This is a specialty shop run by
and for people who love card games!
**[07:23] Shin**
It's called Card Capital!
**[07:25] Shin**
Sir, I notice that you're wearing
the same uniform as Aichi...
**[07:28] Shin**
Are you his friend?
**[07:30] Naoki**
Not really.
**[07:32] Naoki**
Whoa, hang on...
**[07:34] Naoki**
Is he such a regular here
that you remember his name?
**[07:37] Shin**
Of course I do!
**[07:38] Shin**
He's the champion of
the Vanguard Fight Asia Circuit!
**[07:43] Naoki**
A champion?! Him?!
**[07:45] Shin**
Why not come in and check it out?
**[07:48] Shin**
A fight is about to begin!
**[07:52] Shin**
Come on in!
**[07:53] Naoki**
Well, since you insist...
**[07:56] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[08:00] Aichi**
I ride Glyme!
**[08:02] Kamui**
The Great Kamui rides Battleraizer!
**[08:05] Aichi**
I ride Allen!
**[08:07] Aichi**
My turn's over.
**[08:08] Kamui**
I ride Raizer Custom!
**[08:10] Kamui**
Then I draw and attack with Raizer Custom!
**[08:13] Aichi**
No guard!
**[08:15] Kamui**
Drive check!
**[08:16] Kamui**
I got a draw trigger!
**[08:19] Aichi**
Damage check!
**[08:22] Naoki**
I don't get it...
**[08:25] Shin**
Sir, is this your first encounter with Vanguard?
**[08:29] Naoki**
Well, yeah...
**[08:31] Shin**
I see!
**[08:32] Shin**
Then, I'll explain the basics.
**[08:36] Shin**
To start, there are two things
you should remember about Vanguard.
**[08:40] Shin**
The first is "Ride",
which is when you possess a unit.
**[08:43] Shin**
The second is "Call",
which is when you summon a unit.
**[08:46] Naoki**
W-W-Wait a sec!
**[08:48] Naoki**
What's the difference?
**[08:50] Shin**
"Ride" is for you yourself, the player!
**[08:53] Shin**
"Call" is for friends who fight alongside you.
**[08:56] Naoki**
You yourself, and friends...
**[08:58] Shin**
The unit that the player rides
is called the "Vanguard,"
**[09:02] Shin**
and the friend units are called "rear-guards."
**[09:05] Naoki**
A "vanguard," and "rear-guards"...
**[09:07] Shin**
Right!
**[09:09] Shin**
Both players employ their units' abilities,
**[09:12] Shin**
and the first one to deal 6 damage points
to their opponent's Vanguard is the winner.
**[09:17] Shin**
And then there's
the most important thing of all!
**[09:21] Naoki**
What's most important?
**[09:23] Shin**
That's...
**[09:24] Shin**
...imagination!
**[09:26] Naoki**
Huh?
**[09:27] Shin**
Imagine it!
**[09:28] Shin**
Imagination will become your strength!
**[09:31] Naoki**
The heck? You making fun of me, old man?
**[09:34] Kamui**
Manager!
**[09:36] Kamui**
We're fighting here, so keep it down!
**[09:39] Shin**
Oh, pardon me!
**[09:41] Naoki**
Ah, crud!
**[09:43] Naoki**
He almost saw me!
**[09:46] Shin**
Now, spread the wings of your imagination,
**[09:49] Shin**
and observe their fight!
**[09:51] Shin**
Aichi is leading his friends
on the planet Cray into battle...
**[09:55] Shin**
...as their vanguard!
**[09:57] Naoki**
He's doing the leading...?
**[10:04] Aichi**
Blaster Blade attacks Raizer Custom!
**[10:10] Kamui**
No guard!
**[10:11] Aichi**
Drive check!
**[10:13] Morikawa**
There it is! A critical trigger!
**[10:16] Aichi**
I give the power to Gallatin,
**[10:17] Aichi**
and the extra critical to Blaster Blade!
**[10:27] Kamui**
Damage check!
**[10:32] Naoki**
"Damage check"?
**[10:34] Naoki**
Old man...
**[10:35] Shin**
Please, call me "Manager"!
**[10:36] Naoki**
What just happened?!
**[10:37] Shin**
Some units have special icons on them.
**[10:42] Shin**
The card Aichi just drew
**[10:44] Shin**
had an icon indicating
that it was a "critical trigger,"
**[10:47] Shin**
meaning that if his attack succeeded,
**[10:49] Shin**
the damage would increase by 1 point.
**[10:52] Naoki**
In other words, Sendou's attack
hit his opponent's weak point?!
**[10:56] Shin**
Exactly!
**[10:57] Shin**
It sounds like you're giving
your imagination a real workout!
**[11:02] Aichi**
Go, Gallatin!
**[11:03] Kamui**
Let's stop him, Turboraizer!
**[11:08] Kamui**
I ain't out yet!
**[11:10] Kamui**
It's the Great Kamui's turn!
**[11:11] Aichi**
Go ahead, Kamui!
**[11:15] Kamui**
I ride!
**[11:19] Kamui**
Hi-powered Raizer Custom!
**[11:27] Kamui**
Yes!
**[11:34] Aichi**
I ride!
**[11:39] Aichi**
King of Knights, Alfred!
**[11:43] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[11:46] Aichi**
Counterblast!
**[11:48] Aichi**
I superior call Blaster Blade!
**[11:55] Blaster**
Burst Buster!
**[12:05] Kamui**
I lost again!
**[12:07] Shin**
What do you think, sir?
**[12:08] Shin**
Were you able to imagine it?
**[12:10] Shin**
Huh?
**[12:14] Naoki**
Sheesh, what the heck's with that kid?!
**[12:17] Naoki**
He was so pumped in there,
I'd swear he was a whole different person!
**[12:21] Naoki**
Is that card game really that fun?
**[12:31] Aichi**
Good morning!
**[12:34] Aichi**
Please take a flyer!
It's for the Cardfight Club!
**[12:38] Aichi**
Good morning!
**[12:39] Aichi**
Oh!
**[12:40] Aichi**
Misaki!
**[12:41] Misaki**
Aichi...
**[12:43] Aichi**
Um...
**[12:44] Aichi**
Please take one.
**[12:47] Misaki**
I told you, I don't have time...
**[12:49] Aichi**
Yes, I know.
**[12:51] Aichi**
But maybe just in case you have
friends who might be interested...?
**[12:58] Kourin**
What do you think you're doing?
**[13:00] Aichi**
Huh?
**[13:00] Kourin**
You. The champion of the Asia Circuit.
**[13:04] Kourin**
I asked what you think you're doing!
**[13:07] Aichi**
Wha?! You recognized me?!
**[13:09] Kourin**
Of course I did!
**[13:10] Aichi**
Well, you see...
**[13:12] Aichi**
This school doesn't have a Cardfight club,
**[13:15] Aichi**
and it seems that few of
the students know about Vanguard.
**[13:19] Aichi**
So I thought I'd form a club myself.
**[13:22] Kourin**
That sounds tough.
**[13:24] Aichi**
It is.
**[13:25] Aichi**
According to the rules,
**[13:26] Aichi**
if I can't get at least five members,
**[13:29] Aichi**
the Student Council
won't recognize it as a club.
**[13:32] Kourin**
So? How many do you have so far?
**[13:34] Aichi**
Huh?
**[13:35] Kourin**
I asked how many members you have so far!
**[13:39] Aichi**
Right...
**[13:39] Aichi**
Well, actually...
**[13:42] Aichi**
...it's still just me.
**[13:43] Kourin**
Fine.
**[13:45] Kourin**
In that case, I'll join the Cardfight Club.
**[13:48] Aichi**
Huh?
**[13:49] Kourin**
I'll be your first member!
**[13:52] Aichi**
Uh...
**[13:52] Aichi**
Wha?!
**[13:53] Aichi**
You, Ms. Tatsunagi?!
**[14:10] Student A**
Huh? You're going to join, Kourin?!
**[14:13] Student D**
Then I'll join, too!
**[14:14] Student C**
Yeah, sign me up!
**[14:15] Student B**
Sendou, I wanna join, too!
**[14:18] Student**
Please! Please!
**[14:20] Student A**
Sendou, I'll take a flier.
**[14:21] Kourin**
Just a moment.
**[14:23] Kourin**
Now that I'm a member,
I refuse to accept anyone joining on a lark.
**[14:28] Kourin**
The only ones qualified to join the club
are those who can defeat me or Aichi Sendou.
**[14:33] Kourin**
In a Vanguard fight, that is.
**[14:35] Aichi**
Huh?!
**[14:36] All**
What?!
**[14:39] Aichi**
Here!
**[14:41] Aichi**
Right here is the end of the line
for the Cardfight Club initiation test!
**[14:46] Aichi**
We'll lend you a deck,
so don't hesitate to try!
**[14:50] Kourin**
Attack!
**[14:52] Student A**
I didn't stand a chance!
**[14:54] Kourin**
Next.
**[14:55] Student D**
No way!
**[14:57] Kourin**
Next.
**[15:01] Student A**
Sendou!
**[15:02] Student A**
Tell me how to beat Kourin!
**[15:05] Student C**
Tell me, too!
**[15:07] Aichi**
Um...
**[15:08] Kourin**
Next!
**[15:09] Shingo**
Why you...
**[15:11] Shingo**
How dare you act so familiar
with my idol, even talking to her?!
**[15:17] Naoki**
Hey!
**[15:18] Naoki**
You in the glasses!
**[15:20] Naoki**
What's all this fuss about?
**[15:22] Shingo**
It's an initiation test for the Cardfight Club.
**[15:27] Naoki**
A test?
**[15:28] Shingo**
Yes. Apparently you can't join
unless you win a Cardfight.
**[15:33] Shingo**
Are you interested?
**[15:34] Naoki**
Not really.
**[15:43] Aichi**
Ms. Tatsunagi, isn't this a little too strict?
**[15:46] Kourin**
You mean the initiation test?
**[15:48] Aichi**
I watched the Ultra-rare exhibition match
**[15:51] Aichi**
at the Asia Circuit opening ceremony.
**[15:55] Aichi**
Your fight wasn't just for show.
**[15:59] Aichi**
I sensed true strength in you.
**[16:02] Aichi**
If you fight that seriously,
**[16:04] Aichi**
I don't think anyone will be able to pass.
**[16:07] Kourin**
We don't need members who
only want to join because I'm an idol.
**[16:09] Aichi**
But...
**[16:10] Kourin**
If they don't even have
the ability to defeat me,
**[16:14] Kourin**
I don't consider them fit to be on the
same team as you, the Asia Circuit champion.
**[16:19] Aichi**
But that's just...
**[16:20] Kourin**
Listen to me.
**[16:23] Kourin**
If your desire for new members means
that you're willing to have shoddy fights,
**[16:26] Kourin**
then I'll quit the club, immediately.
**[16:29] Aichi**
Uh...
**[16:29] Kourin**
Furthermore...
**[16:31] Kourin**
I don't like you calling me that.
**[16:33] Aichi**
Huh?
**[16:34] Kourin**
Would you call me by my given name from now on?
**[16:37] Aichi**
Oh! Certainly, Kourin!
**[16:41] Kourin**
Thank you.
**[16:46] Kotomi**
Hey, did you hear, Misaki and Akari?!
**[16:50] Kotomi**
An idol transferred to our school!
**[16:52] Akari**
I know!
**[16:53] Akari**
The Ultra-rare girl, right?
**[16:55] Akari**
She was in a commercial for some card game.
**[16:57] Kotomi**
I heard there's a boy trying to form
**[17:01] Kotomi**
a new card game club
so he can get close to Kourin!
**[17:05] Akari**
Now that you mention it, I did see him.
**[17:08] Akari**
He was handing out fliers
in front of the school.
**[17:10] Misaki**
Wh-Why?!
**[17:12] Misaki**
Why would people assume that
Aichi's forming his club just for an idol?!
**[17:17] Kotomi**
Hey, Misaki...
**[17:19] Kotomi**
Do you know something about it?
**[17:22] Misaki**
Uh, no, I don't!
**[17:25] The Two**
Hold on, Misaki!
**[17:30] Misaki**
I'm done cleaning!
**[17:32] Shin**
Thank you.
**[17:34] Naoki**
Oh...
**[17:34] Shin**
I'm sorry, but we're closed for--
**[17:37] Shin**
Oh! I remember you!
**[17:39] Naoki**
Old man! Will you teach me Vanguard?!
**[17:43] Shin**
Sure.
**[17:45] Shin**
Let's start with this beginner's deck.
**[17:48] Naoki**
Not like that!
**[17:49] Naoki**
I've gotta get good enough
to beat the Asia champion!
**[17:53] Shin**
The Asia champion?
**[17:56] Shin**
Very well!
**[17:57] Shin**
However, I have one condition.
**[18:00] Naoki**
What condition?
**[18:02] Shin**
Would you please call me
"Manager" instead of "old man"?
**[18:07] Naoki**
It's a deal, Manager!
**[18:14] Kourin**
Next.
**[18:15] Kourin**
I attack your Vanguard.
**[18:18] Student B**
I lost!
**[18:20] Student O**
You're too strong!
**[18:21] Student A**
Sendou, tell me how to beat Kourin!
**[18:25] Student C**
Tell me, too!
**[18:27] Aichi**
Um...
**[18:28] Aichi**
This is a swift-attack style of deck, so...
**[18:31] Kourin**
Hey, knock it off, Aichi Sendou!
**[18:34] Kourin**
If you give them tips and send them back to me,
**[18:37] Kourin**
I'll be here forever!
**[18:41] Aichi**
Sorry! I thought it would be
a little more fun for them that way...
**[18:47] Shingo**
Here's where I make my grand entrance and...
**[18:49] Naoki**
Sendou!
**[18:50] Naoki**
I wanna join the club, too!
**[18:53] Aichi**
Ishida...
**[18:55] Student A**
Ishida?
**[18:56] Student B**
You're kidding!
**[18:57] Tanimoto**
What are you talking about,
when you're the one who bullied Sendou?
**[19:01] Naoki**
What?!
**[19:02] Tanimoto**
I heard all about it.
**[19:03] Tanimoto**
Back in elementary school,
you used to bully Sendou!
**[19:07] Naoki**
The heck?! But I didn't do any--
**[19:09] Tanimoto**
Don't play dumb!
**[19:11] Tanimoto**
One of the guys who got
expelled told me about it!
**[19:14] Tanimoto**
He said you were part of it,
but you weaseled your way out!
**[19:18] Student**
Huh?!
**[19:19] Student**
That's awful!
**[19:20] Naoki**
You...
**[19:21] Naoki**
Don't talk baloney like that!
**[19:23] Tanimoto**
There, see?! He's violent!
**[19:25] Student**
What a creep...
**[19:27] Student**
He's always been like this.
**[19:29] Student**
Don't be scarier than your face, man.
**[19:31] Student Q**
I bet you're the one who trashed
his bulletin board flier, too.
**[19:37] Naoki**
What the heck?!
**[19:38] Naoki**
These jerks don't know a thing about me!
**[19:41] Naoki**
They just take one look at me and judge me!
**[19:45] Naoki**
Whether I trashed that flier or not,
**[19:48] Naoki**
it ain't your business!
**[19:52] Aichi**
Ishida...
**[19:54] Aichi**
It wasn't you.
**[19:56] Aichi**
You're not the one who tore up that flier.
**[19:59] Aichi**
There's no reason for you
to hurt your own reputation here!
**[20:02] Tanimoto**
What's up with you, Sendou?
**[20:04] Tanimoto**
Do you know who trashed that flier?
**[20:08] Aichi**
I don't, and I don't even want to know.
**[20:11] Aichi**
But...
**[20:12] Naoki**
You're gonna put up all of them?
**[20:14] Naoki**
Good luck with that.
**[20:16] Aichi**
But...
**[20:17] Aichi**
I do know that Ishida didn't do it!
**[20:22] Aichi**
So you're welcome to challenge us!
**[20:25] Aichi**
To take the test!
**[20:30] Naoki**
Aw, man...
**[20:32] Naoki**
You're always the timid one,
**[20:34] Naoki**
but here you are,
laying your cards on the table...
**[20:38] Naoki**
Sounds fun.
**[20:39] Naoki**
You've caught my interest!
**[20:41] Naoki**
Hey!
**[20:43] Naoki**
I wanna join this club!
**[20:44] Naoki**
Fight me!
**[20:46] Kourin**
Fine.
**[20:48] Kourin**
You're the first challenger
who's brought his own deck.
**[20:52] Kourin**
I'll play you.
**[20:54] Naoki**
All right!
**[20:55] Student**
He knows how to play that card game?
**[20:59] Kourin**
I don't know what happened
between you and Aichi in the past,
**[21:03] Kourin**
but I'm not going easy on you.
**[21:04] Naoki**
Relax, Ms. Idol...
**[21:07] Naoki**
There ain't no past between us.
**[21:10] Naoki**
That's right. I never did anything.
**[21:14] Naoki**
Even when they were picking on Sendou...
**[21:16] Naoki**
...I did...
**[21:18] Naoki**
...nothing at all.
**[21:20] Naoki**
I did nothing, which meant...
**[21:22] Naoki**
...I also closed my eyes to the fact that
I shared the blame for him getting bullied.
**[21:28] Naoki**
So I'm gonna stop doing nothing!
**[21:32] Naoki**
Here I come!
**[21:36] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[23:10] Naoki**
Hey, I'm Naoki Ishida!
**[23:12] Naoki**
I told 'em I wanted to join the Cardfight Club.
**[23:14] Naoki**
With the deck that old man
lent me, I'm sure to win!
**[23:18] Aichi**
Thank you, Ishida.
**[23:19] Aichi**
But what "old man"?
**[23:20] Shin**
Ta-daaa! It's me!
**[23:22] Aichi**
Manager!
**[23:23] Shin**
I'm so happy to get a new customer!
**[23:25] Shin**
"Should I do this to get stronger?
**[23:28] Shin**
Or should I do that?"
**[23:29] Shin**
And before he knows it, he's hooked, as if
trapped in a bottomless bog with no escape!
**[23:35] Aichi**
Bog?

Wait, Ishida!

**[00:03] Naoki**
I wanna join this club!
**[00:04] Naoki**
Fight me!
**[00:06] Kourin**
Fine.
**[00:10] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[00:16] Student D**
Hurry up!
**[00:17] Student D**
It's the classroom over here.
**[00:19] Student D**
That's where Kourin is running
the club initiation test.
**[00:21] Misaki**
Club initiation test?
**[00:23] Akari**
You play a card game against that idol,
**[00:25] Akari**
and if you win, you're allowed to join the club.
**[00:28] Akari**
Everyone at school is talking about it.
**[00:31] Misaki**
Really?
**[00:32] Akari**
Wanna check it out?
**[00:33] Akari**
You must be curious,
as a card-shop employee and all...
**[00:37] Misaki**
I'm not especially interested...
**[00:39] Akari**
Come on!
**[00:40] Akari**
Let's just go!
**[00:41] Misaki**
H-Hey, Akari!
**[00:51] Shingo**
Curse you, Naoki Ishida!
**[00:53] Shingo**
Preparing your own deck
in a ploy for my idol's affection!
**[00:59] Misaki**
Naoki Ishida...
**[01:06] Naoki**
Will you teach me Vanguard?!
**[01:09] Misaki**
He's the boy who came to Capital yesterday...
**[01:13] Aichi**
I'm now a student at Miyaji Academy,
**[01:16] Aichi**
and have decided to start a Cardfight Club.
**[01:21] Aichi**
I've got to imagine it!
**[01:24] Aichi**
I'm sure my imagination will take shape!

**[03:07] Kourin**
I ride!
**[03:12] Kourin**
Crimson Lion Cub, Kyrph!
**[03:16] Naoki**
I ride!
**[03:20] Naoki**
Spark Kid Dragoon!
**[03:23] Shingo**
Naoki Ishida's deck is Narukami?
**[03:27] Kourin**
Narukami is a clan that's good
at taking down enemy units.
**[03:32] Kourin**
How far can he get against my clan,
Gold Paladin, which excels at deploying units?
**[03:39] Kourin**
I go first.
**[03:40] Kourin**
Draw.
**[03:42] Kourin**
I ride!
**[03:47] Kourin**
Knight of Elegant Skills, Gareth!
**[03:49] Kourin**
Kyrph's skill activates.
**[03:51] Kourin**
I draw one card.
**[03:53] Kourin**
My turn is over.
**[03:58] Kourin**
It's your turn.
**[03:59] Naoki**
R-Right.
**[04:03] Kourin**
Let's see just how good he is.
**[04:06] Naoki**
First...
**[04:07] Naoki**
I ride!
**[04:08] Shingo**
Arrrgh!
**[04:11] Akari**
What's wrong?
**[04:13] Aichi**
Just a moment, Ishida.
**[04:16] Aichi**
You forgot to draw first.
**[04:18] Naoki**
Wha...?!
**[04:20] Naoki**
I meant to do that!
**[04:22] Naoki**
I thought it'd help break the ice.
**[04:25] Naoki**
Draw!
**[04:26] Naoki**
For real this time!
**[04:28] Naoki**
I ride!
**[04:34] Naoki**
Lizard Soldier, Riki!
**[04:36] Naoki**
A skill lets me draw, too!
**[04:39] Naoki**
C'mere, Red River Dragoon!
**[04:42] Naoki**
Let's go! Attack!
**[04:44] Dragoon**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[04:51] Naoki**
Once more! Take this!
**[04:53] Kourin**
Block it, Dantegal!
**[05:01] Naoki**
Drat! It didn't go through?!
**[05:02] Aichi**
Ishida...
**[05:03] Naoki**
What?!
**[05:04] Aichi**
Drive check.
**[05:06] Aichi**
Do a drive check!
**[05:07] Naoki**
Oh yeah! That's right!
**[05:11] Shingo**
What a rank beginner!
**[05:14] Naoki**
All right! A draw trigger!
**[05:18] Aichi**
Your attack was still blocked, though.
**[05:21] Kourin**
I wish he could challenge me,
**[05:24] Kourin**
but he's an absolute beginner.
**[05:26] Kourin**
Stand and draw.
**[05:30] Kourin**
I'll end this quickly for you.
**[05:33] Kourin**
I ride!
**[05:35] Kourin**
Knight of Superior Skills, Beaumains!
**[05:38] Kourin**
Beaumains's skill activates!
**[05:42] Kourin**
Superior call!
**[05:44] Kourin**
Knight of Elegant Skills, Gareth!
**[05:46] Kourin**
When I have both Beaumains and Gareth,
and then Soul Blast a Kyrph,
**[05:50] Kourin**
this unit's skill activates, too.
**[05:58] Kourin**
Offer up your soul with the knights of skills,
**[06:01] Kourin**
and an adult lion will respond to a cub's growl!
**[06:04] Units**
Yeah!
**[06:06] Kourin**
I superior ride!
**[06:08] Kourin**
Incandescent Lion, Blond Ezel!
**[06:11] Shingo**
It's only the third turn,
yet she's already ridden to grade 3!
**[06:17] Naoki**
You're kidding me!
**[06:20] Kourin**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[06:28] Kourin**
I call Sacred Guardian Beast,
Nemean Lion to the Accel circle!
**[06:33] Kourin**
Its skill activates!
**[06:36] Kourin**
Gareth!
**[06:37] Gareth**
Leave it to me!
**[06:39] Naoki**
Old Dragon Mage, block it!
**[06:48] Kourin**
Prepare yourself!
**[06:51] Kourin**
Drive check.
**[06:53] Kourin**
Critical trigger!
**[06:57] Kourin**
Go, Nemean Lion!
**[07:07] Student A**
Isn't he in a pretty tough spot?
**[07:10] Student B**
Besides, there's no way
Ishida could beat Kourin.
**[07:14] Student C**
He should just give up.
**[07:21] Naoki**
The heck with that!
**[07:23] Aichi**
Calm down, Ishida.
**[07:25] Aichi**
You haven't made any mistakes.
**[07:28] Naoki**
Every last one of them's the same!
**[07:32] Naoki**
They all spout boring lines!
**[07:36] Masaki**
What's with you, Naoki?
**[07:39] Naoki**
Whaddya mean?
**[07:42] Masaki**
You're just lying around at home again.
**[07:44] Masaki**
You haven't changed, even though
you're in high school now.
**[07:47] Masaki**
Haven't you got anything
better to do, like a club activity?
**[07:50] Naoki**
Hey, it's not like it matters what I do!
**[07:54] Masaki**
Then, how about you try studying?
**[07:56] Masaki**
If you go to a good university,
everyone will see you in a new light.
**[07:59] Naoki**
Just 'cause you got into a first-rate college,
doesn't give you the right to preach at me.
**[08:03] Naoki**
Jerk brother!
**[08:06] Masaki**
At the rate you're going,
you'll wind up as a boring adult.
**[08:11] Masaki**
Are you okay with that?
**[08:13] Naoki**
Shaddup!
**[08:13] Naoki**
People don't change that easily.
**[08:22] Naoki**
But...
**[08:25] Naoki**
...I know one guy who did change.
**[08:28] Naoki**
The Aichi Sendou I knew
was just one big target for bullies.
**[08:35] Naoki**
But the Sendou who came back
to this academy for high school ain't.
**[08:41] Naoki**
What changed Sendou might've been...
**[08:45] Naoki**
No, it must've been... this game!
**[08:49] Naoki**
So I'll try it, too!
**[08:51] Naoki**
I ride!
**[08:58] Naoki**
Recklessness Dragon!
**[09:00] Naoki**
Its skill activates!
**[09:01] Naoki**
Counterblast!
**[09:05] Naoki**
I bind Nemean Lion!
**[09:10] Shingo**
When a unit is bound,
**[09:12] Shingo**
it gets sent to the Bind Zone
and can no longer be used.
**[09:16] Naoki**
If I win this fight...
**[09:19] Naoki**
C'mere, Thunderstorm Dragoon!
**[09:24] Naoki**
Back me up, Photon Bomber Wyvern!
**[09:28] Naoki**
...and get to have Cardfights with Sendou...
**[09:32] Naoki**
Boost! Attack!
**[09:39] Naoki**
Drive check!
**[09:41] Naoki**
I got a critical trigger!
**[09:43] Naoki**
I give the power to Thunderstorm Dragoon,
**[09:45] Naoki**
and the extra critical to my Vanguard!
**[09:51] Naoki**
I ain't done yet!
**[09:59] Naoki**
...I may be able to change my boring self!
**[10:03] Aichi**
You're doing great, Ishida.
**[10:05] Aichi**
You're holding your own in a Vanguard fight.
**[10:09] Kourin**
He's better than I expected.
**[10:11] Kourin**
Still...
**[10:13] Kourin**
...I can't afford to lose to a beginner.
**[10:27] Kourin**
A comrade responds to the lion's roar!
**[10:35] Sagramore**
Battlefield Tempest, Sagramore is here!
**[10:40] Sagramore**
You called?
**[10:42] Kourin**
Yeah.
**[10:44] Sagramore**
You're a real slave-driver.
**[10:47] Kourin**
Sagramore's skill activates!
**[10:49] Sagramore**
Superior call!
**[10:51] The Two**
Nemean Lion!
**[10:57] Kourin**
Let's go!
**[11:01] Naoki**
Come at me!
**[11:11] Sagramore**
Now!
**[11:14] Naoki**
This one'll protect me!
**[11:15] Naoki**
Yellow Gem Carbuncle!
**[11:17] Naoki**
Make that two of 'em!
**[11:28] Kourin**
My turn is over.
**[11:33] Shingo**
Looks like he pulled through.
**[11:36] Misaki**
But he's still backed against the wall.
**[11:40] Aichi**
At this rate...
**[11:42] Aichi**
Ishida might not survive Kourin's next turn...
**[11:46] Naoki**
Stand and draw...
**[11:50] Naoki**
Right now, my Vanguard's grade 2.
**[11:52] Naoki**
I've gotta get to grade 3.
**[11:55] Naoki**
But is this one really gonna work?
**[12:00] Naoki**
I ain't got much faith in that old man...
**[12:07] Shin**
Yes, good!
**[12:08] Shin**
You've gotten the hang of it.
**[12:11] Naoki**
Can I really beat the Asia champion now?!
**[12:15] Shin**
Well, I can't exactly guarantee that...
**[12:18] Naoki**
Quit yanking my chain, old man!
**[12:21] Naoki**
There's somebody I've just gotta beat!
**[12:27] Naoki**
If I can't win that fight, I'll...
**[12:36] Shin**
Just a second.
**[12:39] Shin**
Ta-daaa!
**[12:40] Shin**
You'll be good to go with this in your deck!
**[12:43] Shin**
This card is a secret weapon.
**[12:47] Naoki**
This card's a secret weapon?
Even without some fancy skill?
**[12:54] Naoki**
Still, right now,
**[12:57] Naoki**
I've gotta bet everything on it!
**[13:00] Naoki**
I'm gonna crush you!
**[13:02] Naoki**
I ride!
**[13:15] Naoki**
Great Composure Dragon!
**[13:18] Aichi**
That's...
**[13:19] Kourin**
Great Composure Dragon?!
**[13:22] Akari**
What? Did that boy do something weird?
**[13:26] Misaki**
No, just the opposite.
**[13:30] Misaki**
From his opponent's point of view,
he just set down a very nasty unit.
**[13:34] Shingo**
How could Naoki Ishida pull off that move?!
**[13:38] Kourin**
You're a beginner, aren't you?
**[13:41] Kourin**
Do you know the true worth of that unit?
**[13:46] Naoki**
What?
**[13:48] Masaki**
At the rate you're going,
you'll wind up as a boring adult.
**[13:53] Masaki**
Are you okay with that?
**[13:54] Shin**
This card is a secret weapon.
**[13:57] Aichi**
I do know that Ishida didn't do it!
**[14:00] Aichi**
So you're welcome to challenge us!
**[14:06] Naoki**
Yeah, I know its worth.
**[14:08] Naoki**
It's what's gonna
break me outta my boring life!
**[14:14] Naoki**
I'm gonna take you down
with this secret weapon,
**[14:17] Naoki**
and join the Cardfight Club!
**[14:21] Aichi**
Ishida!
**[14:22] Naoki**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[14:28] Naoki**
Recklessness Dragon goes to the Accel circle!
**[14:32] Naoki**
Its skill activates! Counterblast!
**[14:37] Naoki**
I bind Sagramore!
**[14:39] Sagramore**
I'm sorry, Ezel!
**[14:41] Naoki**
Great Composure Dragon's skill activates!
**[14:45] Aichi**
Great Composure Dragon
doesn't have a flashy skill.
**[14:49] Aichi**
But it gets a power-up for every empty
rear-guard circle in the opponent's front row.
**[14:55] Misaki**
Its skill is simple, but strong.
**[14:58] Misaki**
Pros like that unit.
**[15:09] Naoki**
Recklessness Dragon!
**[15:11] Naoki**
Send that Nemean Lion flyin'!
**[15:16] Naoki**
Go!
**[15:17] Naoki**
C'mere, Photon Bomber Wyvern!
**[15:22] Naoki**
Lost Composure Breath!
**[15:27] Kourin**
I can't block it!
**[15:32] Student A**
Whoa, check out Ishida...
**[15:34] Student B**
Is he gonna win?
**[15:36] Aichi**
Keep at it, Ishida!
**[15:37] Naoki**
Yeah!
**[15:41] Naoki**
Thunderstorm Dragoon attacks,
boosted by Red River Dragoon!
**[15:45] Naoki**
If it hits you, I win!
**[15:48] Kourin**
I'm not about to let that happen!
**[15:50] Kourin**
I guard with Dantegal!
**[15:53] Naoki**
She blocked it!
**[15:55] Aichi**
But that was a nice attack!
**[15:58] Kourin**
Seriously?!
**[15:59] Kourin**
It feels like I'm the one
standing between these two!
**[16:03] Kourin**
Stand and draw!
**[16:06] Kourin**
I won't let Great Composure walk all over me!
**[16:11] Kourin**
Knight of Superior Skills, Beaumains!
**[16:14] Kourin**
Sacred Guardian Beast, Nemean Lion!
**[16:18] Kourin**
Gareth, to the front!
**[16:20] Gareth**
Yes, milady!
**[16:24] Aichi**
She's filled her front row rear-guard circles!
**[16:27] Misaki**
She's not going to let
Great Composure Dragon power up.
**[16:35] Kourin**
One blow will end this!
**[16:38] Kourin**
Front trigger!
**[16:45] Shingo**
That brings Naoki Ishida to 5 damage.
**[16:50] Gareth**
Now!
**[16:52] Naoki**
Zephyr Kid, Hayate!
**[16:55] Naoki**
Lizard Soldier, Riki!
**[16:58] Beaumains**
The final blow!
**[17:01] Naoki**
I'm countin' on you!
**[17:03] Naoki**
Hayate! Thunderstorm Dragoon!
**[17:09] Student**
No way...
**[17:12] Aichi**
He blocked it!
**[17:13] Naoki**
Aichi...
**[17:16] Naoki**
Vanguard's...
**[17:18] Naoki**
...so much fun!
**[17:22] Aichi**
Yeah!
**[17:27] Naoki**
Stand and draw!
**[17:32] Naoki**
C'mere!
**[17:33] Naoki**
Lizard Soldier, Riki!
**[17:36] Naoki**
Riki's skill activates!
**[17:40] Naoki**
The opponent's front row and back row switch!
**[17:44] Shingo**
Her front row's opened up!
**[17:46] Naoki**
Thunderstorm's skill activates!
**[17:48] Naoki**
Counterblast to Wyvern!
**[17:51] Misaki**
Now Great Composure will power up.
**[17:58] Naoki**
Here we go!
**[18:05] Kourin**
Halo Shield, Mark!
**[18:07] Kourin**
Perfect guard!
**[18:09] Naoki**
Drive check!
**[18:10] Naoki**
I got a front trigger!
**[18:15] Naoki**
So long to my tedious world and my boring self!
**[18:20] Naoki**
Finish her off, Recklessness Dragon!
**[18:36] Kourin**
No trigger.
**[18:38] Kourin**
I lost.
**[18:39] Naoki**
Huh?
**[18:43] Student**
Seriously?!
**[18:44] Student A**
Ishida won?
**[18:45] Student B**
I don't believe it!
**[18:47] Student C**
He's a beginner!
**[18:52] Aichi**
You did it, Ishida.
**[18:53] Naoki**
Aichi...
**[18:55] Naoki**
I...
**[18:56] Aichi**
That makes Ishida a member
of the Cardfight Club, right, Kourin?
**[19:02] Kourin**
Yes.
**[19:03] Kourin**
He won, fair and square.
**[19:06] Naoki**
All right!
**[19:08] Aichi**
Congratulations, Ishida!
**[19:10] Naoki**
Thanks!
**[19:14] Kourin**
He looks happier now than
he did when I joined the club...
**[19:20] Akari**
Misaki, wait!

**[19:31] Naoki**
I've got a lot to learn from you, Aichi!
**[19:34] Naoki**
And you too, Ms. Idol.
**[19:36] Kourin**
Call me Kourin, Mr. Newbie.
**[19:38] Naoki**
Make that "Naoki" instead.
**[19:41] Kourin**
Very well, Naoki.
**[19:43] Naoki**
You too, Aichi.
**[19:45] Naoki**
Call me by my given name.
**[19:50] Aichi**
Sure, Naoki.
**[19:51] Naoki**
Hey, show me your deck!
**[19:55] Kourin**
Sure.
**[19:56] Aichi**
Can I see it, too?
**[19:59] Aichi**
That's one impressive deck.
**[20:01] Naoki**
Whoa, this card looks strong.
**[20:04] Kourin**
It is.
**[20:05] Kourin**
If I'd drawn that, you'd have lost.
**[20:09] Shingo**
Don't get so close to my idol!
**[20:12] Shingo**
Mad Dog Ishida!
**[20:17] Naoki**
Hey, old man!
**[20:18] Naoki**
Just how's this card a secret weapon?!
**[20:21] Shin**
You lost?!
**[20:23] Naoki**
Nah, I won.
**[20:26] Naoki**
But I want cards that'll overwhelm
my opponent with more zap!
**[20:29] Naoki**
Let's see...
**[20:32] Aichi**
You put together Naoki's deck,
didn't you, Manager?
**[20:35] Aichi**
He played like a beginner,
but used advanced cards,
**[20:39] Aichi**
which made it a little strange.
**[20:41] Shin**
I guess I did meddle a bit too much...
**[20:45] Aichi**
But it let the Cardfight Club
get one step closer to reality.
**[20:48] Aichi**
Thank you very much!
**[20:50] Naoki**
Hey, Aichi.
**[20:56] Naoki**
Back before my fight with Kourin...
**[20:59] Naoki**
When I said I didn't trash your flier.
**[21:02] Naoki**
Why'd you believe me?
**[21:07] Aichi**
Because we'd already talked in the hallway.
**[21:12] Aichi**
Maybe that's why...
**[21:16] Naoki**
You trusted me just 'cause of that?!
**[21:18] Naoki**
You're too soft-hearted, Aichi.
**[21:22] Naoki**
But still...
**[21:25] Naoki**
Thanks.
**[21:29] Miwa**
Huh?
**[21:30] Miwa**
What're you doing, Misaki?
**[21:33] Misaki**
Nothing.
**[21:35] Misaki**
I'm doing nothing at all.
**[23:10] Akari**
I'm Akari!
**[23:12] Misaki**
I'm Misaki.
**[23:12] Akari**
Say, Misaki, today's fight featured
all kinds of interesting dragons, huh?
**[23:16] Akari**
Especially that one... what was it called again?
**[23:19] Akari**
Oh right! Great Cocoa Dragon!
**[23:22] Misaki**
No, why would a lightning dragon be cocoa?
**[23:24] Akari**
Then, it was Great Ling-Ling!
**[23:26] Misaki**
That's a giant panda.
**[23:27] Akari**
Great Tumtum!
**[23:28] Misaki**
What, a potbellied old man?
**[23:30] Misaki**
You better stop right there,
before you tick off some of our viewers.
**[23:33] Akari**
Great Grrrr-Grrr!

**[00:00] Naoki**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[00:03] Morikawa**
Damage check.
**[00:08] Izaki**
Morikawa lost!
**[00:10] Inenaga**
Seriously?!
**[00:13] Morikawa**
You sure you're a beginner?
**[00:16] Naoki**
Yep. Ain't that right, Aichi?
**[00:18] Aichi**
Yeah!
**[00:20] Aichi**
But you've improved so much,
that it's really hard to tell!
**[00:27] Naoki**
Well, it's all thanks to my new finisher
taking Great Composure's place.
**[00:32] Naoki**
No offense to the old man...
**[00:35] Shin**
I'd prefer that you call me
"Manager" instead of "old man"...
**[00:43] Shin**
In any case, Misaki is awfully late.
**[00:49] Morikawa**
All right, once more!
**[00:51] Naoki**
I was hoping you'd say that.
**[00:54] Naoki**
It feels so weird...
**[01:01] Naoki**
It's hard to believe I used to
think every day was a drag...
**[01:06] Naoki**
Now I'm always hyped about going to school!
**[01:11] Naoki**
Something's definitely changed here,
**[01:14] Naoki**
but it ain't any of these clowns.
**[01:18] Naoki**
I'm the one who's changed!
**[01:22] Naoki**
Mornin'.
**[01:25] Aichi**
Good morning, Naoki!
**[01:27] Kourin**
Morning, Naoki.
**[01:29] Naoki**
I was only just wanting to help out Aichi,
**[01:33] Naoki**
but once I got ahold of Vanguard,
**[01:39] Naoki**
it changed my whole school life!
**[01:44] Aichi**
I'm now a student at Miyaji Academy,
**[01:47] Aichi**
and have decided to start a Cardfight Club.
**[01:52] Aichi**
I've got to imagine it!
**[01:55] Aichi**
I'm sure my imagination will take shape!

Here you go.
**[03:43] Girl A**
Thank you.
**[03:44] Naoki**
Thanks to that new grade 3,
**[03:47] Naoki**
my deck's totally upgraded!
**[03:50] Kourin**
Huh...
**[03:52] Kourin**
So you finally have a deck
that wasn't all built by someone else.
**[03:56] Kourin**
Hopefully not for the worse...
**[03:57] Naoki**
What was that?!
**[03:59] Aichi**
Now, now...
**[04:12] Naoki**
Aichi, what's wrong?
**[04:14] Aichi**
I had the feeling we were being watched...
**[04:25] Naoki**
Ain't anybody suspicious out there.
**[04:27] Aichi**
Oh...
**[04:28] Aichi**
Maybe I only imagined it.
**[04:31] Naoki**
But ain't stalkers just
part of the territory for idols?
**[04:35] Kourin**
You don't have to make it sound creepy.
**[04:37] Boy A**
U-Um, Ms. Kourin...
**[04:39] Boy A**
I'd like to join the Cardfight Club.
**[04:43] Boy A**
Would you fight me?
**[04:45] Kourin**
S-Sure...
**[04:47] Naoki**
A new prospective member, huh?
**[04:53] Naoki**
At last!
**[04:54] Naoki**
For your initiation, you're gonna fight me!
**[04:57] Boy A**
But I'd prefer to fight Kourin, if possible...
**[05:01] Naoki**
I ain't leaving this to Kourin!
**[05:03] Naoki**
From now on, I'm the gatekeeper!
**[05:06] Boy A**
Oh no...
**[05:10] Boy A**
Damage check.
**[05:15] Boy A**
I lost.
**[05:19] Naoki**
There, you see that?! I won!
**[05:30] Boy A**
Sorry I bothered you!
**[05:34] Shingo**
This doesn't bode well.
**[05:36] Shingo**
The Cardfight Club is likely to turn into
an evil organization, all because of Ishida!
**[05:41] Shingo**
And just when my idol
was trying to get it established!
**[05:46] Naoki**
What's with you two?
**[05:48] Aichi**
You shouldn't frighten
your opponent during a fight.
**[05:52] Kourin**
That's right.
**[05:53] Kourin**
Your face is scary enough as it is.
**[05:57] Naoki**
D-Did you just say my face's scary?
**[06:05] Naoki**
Aichi...
**[06:07] Naoki**
Don't tell me you agree with her!
**[06:12] Aichi**
Um...
**[06:14] Aichi**
I wouldn't say that "scary"
is the word I'd use for it...
**[06:22] Aichi**
Except in my head, maybe...
**[06:26] Naoki**
Okay.
**[06:27] Naoki**
There, ya see?! I ain't that scary--
**[06:34] Naoki**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[06:36] Naoki**
What the...?!
**[06:40] Shingo**
I won't allow you to be rude to my idol!
**[06:45] Shingo**
I rushed in unthinkingly...
**[06:48] Naoki**
Your "idol"?!
**[06:54] Naoki**
Hey!
**[06:56] Naoki**
You in the glasses!
**[06:58] Naoki**
I saw you spying on 'em before!
**[07:01] Naoki**
So you're Kourin's stalker?!
**[07:05] Aichi**
Oh, aren't you in our class?
**[07:09] Aichi**
Shingo Komoi?
**[07:10] Kourin**
Now that you mention it...
**[07:13] Shingo**
Yes! That's right! I'm Shingo Komoi!
**[07:16] Shingo**
I'm honored that you recognized me!
**[07:20] Shingo**
Oh no!
**[07:22] Kourin**
You play Vanguard?
**[07:24] Shingo**
Yes, of course!
**[07:27] Kourin**
A secret Vanguard fighter...
**[07:29] Aichi**
So it seems.
**[07:31] Shingo**
My idol is trying to
establish the Cardfight Club,
**[07:35] Shingo**
but Mad Dog Ishida...
**[07:37] Shingo**
I won't tolerate a member as barbaric as you!
**[07:41] Naoki**
And who the heck are you,
**[07:43] Naoki**
callin' me a "mad dog" and "barbaric"?!
**[07:47] Kourin**
So you wish to join the club?
**[07:49] Shingo**
Y-Yes!
**[07:50] Naoki**
But are you actually any good at Vanguard?
**[07:54] Naoki**
Can you beat me?!
**[07:58] Shingo**
A beginner who only started playing yesterday
**[08:00] Shingo**
doesn't stand a chance against me.
**[08:04] Naoki**
Sounds like a good, old-fashioned
Vanguard beatdown oughta set you straight.
**[08:10] Shingo**
And you'll be the one to deliver that?
I believe I'll be the one to show you instead.
**[08:19] Naoki**
He's gonna be crying real soon!
**[08:23] Shingo**
I'll get to show my idol
my cool fighting techniques!
**[08:33] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[08:49] Shingo**
For you, from Stealth Dragon, Magatsu Gale!
**[08:54] Shingo**
Stealth Beast, Chigasumi
and Stealth Dragon, Magatsu Breath!
**[08:56] Shingo**
I'm depending on you both!
**[09:00] Naoki**
What the...?!
**[09:08] Aichi**
Now Naoki has 2 damage.
**[09:10] Kourin**
The other boy also has 2 damage.
**[09:12] Kourin**
They're tied.
**[09:17] Shingo**
I can read you like an open book!
**[09:22] Shingo**
Stealth Dragon Ninja Art! Vanishing Jutsu!
**[09:27] Naoki**
What?!
**[09:28] Shingo**
Magatsu Breath's skill!
**[09:30] Shingo**
This prevents your Bind specialty
from working on me!
**[09:36] Kourin**
Nubatama is a clan that
specializes in ninja arts and tricky moves.
**[09:41] Kourin**
He obviously has a
sound understanding of those traits.
**[09:45] Aichi**
Yes.
**[09:46] Naoki**
I ride Recklessness Dragon!
**[09:50] Naoki**
C'mere, Thunderstorm Dragoon!
**[09:53] Naoki**
Target his Vanguard!
**[09:56] Naoki**
Keep at it, Photon Bomber Wyvern!
**[10:09] Thunderstorm**
Take this!
**[10:15] Naoki**
Red River Dragoon, you too!
**[10:19] Naoki**
Stealth Dragon, Kurogane!
**[10:22] Naoki**
Well...
**[10:23] Naoki**
You've got 4 damage now.
**[10:26] Shingo**
And your point is?
**[10:28] Shingo**
It's my turn!
**[10:30] Shingo**
I ride!
**[10:33] Shingo**
Covert Demonic Dragon, Magatsu Storm!
**[10:44] Shingo**
Imaginary Gift! Protect!
**[10:51] Shingo**
Join me, everyone!
**[10:57] Naoki**
Four units at once?!
**[11:00] Shingo**
Let's go.
**[11:01] Shingo**
Stealth Dragon, Voidmaster!
**[11:03] Voidmaster**
At your will!
**[11:04] Voidmaster**
Become stone! Stealth Dragon
Ninja Art, Evil Eye Prison!
**[11:10] Naoki**
They can't intercept?!
**[11:15] Naoki**
Yellow Gem Carbuncle!
**[11:22] Shingo**
My Vanguard attacks!
**[11:26] Shingo**
I borrow the power of Magatsu Breath
for a boosted attack by Magatsu Gale!
**[11:30] Naoki**
Zephyr Kid, Hayates!
**[11:32] Hayates**
Here we come!
**[11:38] Naoki**
I won't let your sacrifice be in vain.
**[11:43] Shingo**
Everyone, use Vanishing Jutsu!
**[11:49] Naoki**
Again?!
**[11:52] Kourin**
This boy isn't like the other prospectives.
**[11:55] Aichi**
He's a real Vanguard fighter.
**[11:58] Aichi**
And he's really strong, too.
**[12:00] Aichi**
Huh?
**[12:02] Shingo**
What an honor!
**[12:03] Shingo**
In all my long Vanguard career,
this day is most worth commemorating!
**[12:08] The Two**
Wh-What?
**[12:10] Kourin**
Your long Vanguard career...
**[12:13] Kourin**
When did you start playing?
**[12:15] Shingo**
I'm so glad you asked.
**[12:19] Shingo**
Actually...
**[12:24] Shingo**
...I first started in elementary school.
**[12:27] Shingo**
I was so into it that I'd play every day.
**[12:32] Shingo**
But after I went to
Miyaji Academy for middle school,
**[12:36] Shingo**
I was shocked.
**[12:38] Shingo**
There were approximately zero
Vanguard fighters at the school!
**[12:43] Shingo**
How can this be?!
**[12:46] Shingo**
A Vanguard deck should allow one
to connect with absolutely anybody!
**[12:50] Shingo**
It's the perfect global communication tool!
**[12:54] Shingo**
I could only play with my younger brother,
who also understood Vanguard's greatness.
**[13:00] Shingo**
For me, every day was bleak, until...
**[13:04] Shingo**
...a shocking sight brought me to my knees!
**[13:07] Shingo**
That sight was...
**[13:09] Naoki**
When Kourin joined our class, right?
**[13:12] Shingo**
Eh?
**[13:13] Naoki**
Listen up, you creepy stalker...
**[13:15] Naoki**
Stand and draw!
**[13:19] Naoki**
I'm gonna finish you off this turn.
**[13:22] Naoki**
This card is my new finisher!
**[13:25] Naoki**
I ride!
**[13:35] Naoki**
Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion!
**[13:41] Naoki**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[13:46] Naoki**
C'mere, Great Composure Dragon!
**[13:52] Naoki**
You too, Recklessness!
**[13:56] Aichi**
Four units in the front row!
**[13:58] Kourin**
And with Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion,
**[14:00] Kourin**
that skill gives it an extra critical!
**[14:04] Naoki**
Let's go!
**[14:15] Shingo**
Stealth Dragon Ninja Arts!
Perfect Guard Jutsu!
**[14:19] Naoki**
What?!
**[14:20] Shingo**
Counterblast!
**[14:22] Shingo**
By retiring two rear-guards, I can use this!
**[14:25] Shingo**
It's Magatsu Storm's Ninja Art!
**[14:29] Naoki**
I ain't done yet!
**[14:30] Naoki**
Lost Composure Breath!
**[14:33] Naoki**
Imaginary Gift! Protect!
**[14:42] Naoki**
This gets you to 5 damage!
**[14:44] Naoki**
With a boost from Red River Dragoon,
Recklessness Dragon'll finish you off!
**[14:58] Shingo**
Well done, my Stealth Dragon, Kuroganes!
**[15:01] Aichi**
Wow!
**[15:03] Kourin**
He survived all four of Naoki's attacks.
**[15:06] Naoki**
You're a decent player, for a stalker!
**[15:09] Shingo**
Um...
**[15:11] Naoki**
What?
**[15:12] Shingo**
It appears you have the wrong idea about me.
**[15:15] Shingo**
I have no interest in Kourin.
**[15:18] The Two**
Huh?
**[15:19] Naoki**
Say what?!
**[15:21] Shingo**
Kourin Tatsunagi.
**[15:23] Shingo**
You've been promoting Vanguard
as a member of the idol group ULTRARARE,
**[15:28] Shingo**
but as a fighter, you're decidedly average.
**[15:30] Shingo**
You seem the least friendly of the trio,
and your popularity is lukewarm at best.
**[15:36] Kourin**
Are you picking a fight with me?
**[15:40] Shingo**
To continue my story from before...
**[15:46] Shingo**
The shocking sight
that brought me to my knees...
**[15:50] Shingo**
...was none other than...
**[15:54] Shingo**
...Aichi Sendou!
**[15:55] Shingo**
The day you became
the champion of the Asia Circuit!
**[16:00] Aichi**
You know about me, Shingo?
**[16:03] Shingo**
Of course I do!
**[16:05] Shingo**
Your semifinal match with Ren Suzugamori,
**[16:08] Shingo**
and the final match
between you and Leon Soryu,
**[16:11] Shingo**
were both wonderful!
**[16:13] Shingo**
Such courteous, clean fighting.
**[16:15] Shingo**
Your strength displayed a noble brilliance!
**[16:20] Shingo**
And then that very same Aichi Sendou
came to Miyagi Academy for high school!
**[16:26] Shingo**
And in the same class as me!
**[16:29] Shingo**
We were sure to become friends!
**[16:41] Shingo**
What's more, you were
trying to form a Cardfight Club!
**[16:47] Shingo**
If I joined, I would get to practice with you!
**[16:50] Shingo**
At the time, I was trying to consider
just how I should express my excitement!
**[16:56] Shingo**
What on Earth?!
**[16:58] Boys**
Kourin!
**[17:00] Kourin**
Eh?!
**[17:02] Kourin**
Get away!
**[17:06] Shingo**
My idol in the world of
Vanguard is none other than...
**[17:12] Shingo**
...you, Aichi Sendou!
**[17:17] Aichi**
Ehhh?!
**[17:18] Naoki**
Is that so?!
**[17:20] Naoki**
I get it! This ain't about Kourin!
**[17:24] Naoki**
You're stalkin' Aichi!
**[17:26] Shingo**
Shut your mouth!
**[17:28] Shingo**
I came running when Sendou was in trouble,
**[17:31] Shingo**
trying to make a good impression...
**[17:34] Shingo**
But a ruffian like you got the jump on me!
**[17:38] Shingo**
The great Sendou may be
trying to form a Cardfight Club,
**[17:42] Shingo**
but I refuse to stand by when
a mad dog like you becomes a member!
**[17:47] Shingo**
I ride Magatsu Storm once more!
**[17:50] Shingo**
And then I call Voidmaster, Chigasumi,
and Stealth Rogue of the Night, Sakurafubuki!
**[17:57] Naoki**
Again with a bunch at once!
**[18:00] Shingo**
Chigasumi attacks your Vanguard!
**[18:02] Shingo**
Its skill activates!
**[18:06] Naoki**
Hayate!
**[18:12] Naoki**
Damage check!
**[18:14] Naoki**
All right! I got a front trigger!
**[18:19] Shingo**
Ninja Art, Evil Eye Prison!
**[18:23] Naoki**
It's no use!
**[18:24] Naoki**
Right now, Vermillion's got 22,000 power!
**[18:27] Naoki**
Voidmaster's 15,000
ain't enough to get through!
**[18:32] Shingo**
I realize that.
**[18:34] Shingo**
With Voidmaster’s post-battle skill,
**[18:36] Shingo**
I can return one rear-guard unit
to my hand by using a Counterblast.
**[18:41] Shingo**
That unit is Chigasumi.
**[18:43] Shingo**
Magatsu Storm's skill activates!
**[18:46] Naoki**
What?!
**[18:47] Shingo**
With Magatsu Storm,
when a rear-guard returns to my hand,
**[18:50] Shingo**
if I then Soul Blast a grade 3,
**[18:53] Shingo**
I can superior call three rear-guards!
**[18:56] Naoki**
Say what?!
**[18:58] Kouri**
Not only that, each of those
three units gets +5000 power!
**[19:04] Shingo**
I'm depending on you!
**[19:05] Magatsu Storm**
At your will!
**[19:27] Shingo**
This is my true power!
**[19:31] Naoki**
I... I lost...
**[19:35] Aichi**
Shingo, by all means,
please join the Cardfight Club!
**[19:39] Aichi**
You're okay with it, right, Kourin?
**[19:42] Kourin**
I have some reservations about his personality,
**[19:45] Kourin**
but he does meet our standards.
**[19:53] Shingo**
I-If the great vanguard, Sendou, wishes it,
**[19:58] Shingo**
I'd be happy to join!
**[20:00] Naoki**
Shingo...
**[20:04] Naoki**
Your deck's so awesome!
**[20:06] Shingo**
Oh, uh, thanks.
**[20:09] Naoki**
Vanguard's fun, ain't it?
**[20:18] Aichi**
And now we have four members.
***SIGN*** Club Application
**[20:30] Aichi**
For the Cardfight Club to become official...
**[20:38] Aichi**
...we need just one more.
**[20:43] Akari**
Huh? Misaki?
**[20:45] Akari**
You've been waiting for me?
**[20:47] Misaki**
Mm.
**[20:48] Akari**
What's up?
**[20:50] Akari**
Usually you're all, "I have to work,"
**[20:52] Akari**
and take off in a flash.
**[20:55] Misaki**
Okay, I'll take off now.
**[20:58] Akari**
Huh?!
**[21:00] Akari**
W-Wait a second!
**[21:03] Shingo**
To your regular card shop?!
**[21:06] Aichi**
Y-Yeah.
**[21:08] Shingo**
I'll go! Count me in!
**[21:10] Kourin**
Me, too. I have time today, so I'll join you.
**[21:13] Naoki**
Now that's a surprise.
**[21:20] Akari**
Misaki, wait!
**[21:27] Aichi**
Misaki...
**[23:11] Naoki**
Shingo, you mean you like Aichi that much?!
**[23:14] Shingo**
It has nothing to do with
such vulgar concepts as like or hate!
**[23:17] Shingo**
To me, Sendou is...
**[23:19] Naoki**
Wh-What's wrong?
**[23:21] Shingo**
Listen, Ishida, there is nothing
that I don't know about Sendou!
**[23:24] Shingo**
For example...
**[23:25] Naoki**
Wha? Aichi can do that?!
**[23:27] Shingo**
There's more...
**[23:29] Naoki**
E-Even that?!
**[23:30] Aichi**
I'm here, Naoki and Shingo!
**[23:33] Naoki**
Aichi, you're...

**[00:06] Aichi**
The Cardfight Club has four members now!
**[00:10] Aichi**
Just one more, and we'll be
recognized as an official club.
**[00:16] Misaki**
I see.
**[00:19] Aichi**
So we were just talking about
going to Capital now...
**[00:24] Misaki**
Sorry.
**[00:25] Misaki**
She and I already have plans.
I'm not going to the shop today.
**[00:29] Akari**
Huh?
**[00:30] Aichi**
Oh... you're not?
**[00:33] Misaki**
See you.
**[00:36] Akari**
Wait, Misaki...
***SIGN*** Image 31 The Backstage Boss
**[02:16] Shingo**
Misaki Tokura is a second-year student...
**[02:20] Shingo**
Despite her poor attitude in class,
**[02:24] Shingo**
for some reason, her grades are excellent.
**[02:27] Shingo**
Rumor has it that she possesses
a mysterious psychic power,
**[02:30] Shingo**
which she uses to control
the whole school from behind the scenes.
**[02:41] Aichi**
Misaki doesn't have that kind of power...
**[02:45] Kourin**
So then, what's your
relationship with her, Aichi?
**[02:49] Aichi**
Um... I guess we're like... part of the same crew?
**[02:54] The Two**
Crew?
**[02:58] Aichi**
What're you lookin' at?! Huh?!
**[03:01] Naoki**
I see...
**[03:03] Naoki**
It's a common response to getting bullied...
**[03:06] Shingo**
To think my idol had that side to him...
**[03:10] Aichi**
Y-You have the wrong idea!
**[03:13] Aichi**
Misaki works at the card shop I always go to.
**[03:17] Aichi**
We once teamed up for a shop tournament.
**[03:22] Kourin**
Seriously? It sounds like she'd be
an immediate asset to our team.
**[03:26] Kourin**
Why haven't you invited her
to join the Cardfight Club?
**[03:30] Aichi**
It seems like she can't.
I guess she's too busy with work.
**[03:34] Kourin**
You guess?
**[03:36] Kourin**
Have you actually invited her?
**[03:39] Aichi**
Huh?
**[03:40] Miwa**
Even better... Misaki will be there to help you.
**[03:44] Misaki**
Huh?
**[03:45] Miwa**
Am I right?
**[03:48] Misaki**
I can't join any clubs.
**[03:51] Misaki**
I have my work to do here at the shop.
**[03:54] Kourin**
Well? Have you told her how you felt?
**[03:59] Aichi**
No, not in so many words...
**[04:03] Kourin**
For crying out loud...
**[04:04] Kourin**
Then it's no wonder
she hasn't given a positive response.
**[04:10] Akari**
Hey, Misaki, are you and that boy quarreling?
**[04:14] Misaki**
Not really.
**[04:15] Akari**
If so, then you're treating him pretty coldly.
**[04:18] Akari**
It's as if you've gone back
to the way you were a year ago.
**[04:22] Akari**
Jeez...
**[04:24] Akari**
Why does she put up these walls around herself?
**[04:26] Akari**
At this rate, she'll just have
a repeat of what happened back then...
**[04:31] Akari**
Give me back my hand mirror!
**[04:34] GirlA**
What? But this mirror is mine.
**[04:37] GirlB**
How dare you accuse your classmate of theft!
**[04:40] GirlC**
Do you have any proof?
**[04:42] Akari**
W-Well...
**[04:43] Misaki**
I have proof.
**[04:45] Misaki**
From my seat,
**[04:47] Misaki**
I have a clear view of both
the clock on the wall and Akari's seat.
**[04:51] Misaki**
Three times, at 9:33, 10:36, and 11:34,
**[04:58] Misaki**
you approached Akari's desk for no good reason.
**[05:02] Misaki**
You were waiting for your chance
to steal her mirror, weren't you?
**[05:07] GirlA**
What?!
**[05:09] Misaki**
There's a relief engraving
of roses on the back of her mirror.
**[05:11] Misaki**
The bottommost rose
has a scratch on one of its petals.
**[05:17] GirlA**
Whatever, I don't need this!
**[05:19] Misaki**
Anyone who steals and then gets upset
when caught is the lowest of the low!
**[05:23] Misaki**
You're scum! Scum! Scum! Scum! Scum!
***SIGN*** Scum Scum Scum Scum Scum Scum
**[05:27] GirlB**
How could she remember all that?!
**[05:29] GirlC**
It's creepy!
**[05:31] Akari**
Back then, everyone was shocked by your ability.
**[05:36] Akari**
But now, nobody gives it a second thought.
**[05:40] Akari**
There's no need to put up a wall
to distance yourself from other people.
**[05:46] Akari**
Your hair, too...
**[05:48] Akari**
Didn't you get it cut
because you wanted to change?
**[05:53] Aichi**
Misaki!
**[05:55] Akari**
You...
**[05:56] Misaki**
Aichi...
**[06:03] Aichi**
Um, I never actually told you this yet...
**[06:07] Aichi**
...so now I will.
**[06:08] Aichi**
When I first thought about
starting the Cardfight Club,
**[06:13] Aichi**
I imagined you being a part of it, Misaki.
**[06:19] Aichi**
Misaki, please help me
to start up the Cardfight Club.
**[06:24] Aichi**
Would you?
**[06:26] Akari**
Who is this boy?!
**[06:28] Akari**
It's like he's confessing his love to Misaki!
**[06:32] All**
Ooooh!
**[06:34] Kamui**
A celebrity!
**[06:35] Inenaga**
What a petite face!
**[06:37] Shin**
A member of ULTRARARE in my shop!
**[06:42] Shin**
This is wonderful!
**[06:44] Morikawa**
Kourin in the flesh!
**[06:46] Izaki**
Calm down, Morikawa!
**[06:48] Inenaga**
Whoa, there!
**[06:55] Naoki**
You really are an idol, huh?
**[06:58] Kourin**
What, you didn't believe it before?
**[07:00] Shingo**
You're not all that popular, though.
**[07:03] Kourin**
Are you asking for a fight?
**[07:06] Shin**
Welcome!
**[07:07] Shingo**
Sendou!
**[07:09] Naoki**
You didn't get hurt?!
**[07:10] Kourin**
So then, how did it go?
**[07:13] Shingo**
Where's the Backstage Boss?
**[07:14] Naoki**
Did she agree to join?!
**[07:16] Aichi**
No, she didn't.
**[07:19] Aichi**
I told Misaki exactly how I felt, but...
**[07:24] Aichi**
I'm sorry.
**[07:28] Naoki**
You've got nothin' to apologize for!
**[07:30] Shingo**
That's right!
**[07:32] Shingo**
We can all search for
a new member, starting tomorrow!
**[07:35] Aichi**
Sure.
**[07:36] Shin**
I see... Misaki turned you down, huh?
**[07:40] Shin**
I wish she would let me run the store
**[07:43] Shin**
so she could enjoy her high school life...
**[07:46] Kourin**
Wait.
**[07:47] Kourin**
I heard that Misaki just worked here.
**[07:51] Shin**
This shop originally belonged to her parents.
**[07:56] Kourin**
Originally?
**[07:59] Shin**
Sadly, they passed away.
**[08:01] Shin**
She was a young girl at the time.
**[08:05] Shin**
To Misaki, this shop is a
precious reminder of her parents.
**[08:18] Rekka**
Kou, why do you look so serious?
**[08:21] Rekka**
Is there something on your mind?
**[08:23] Kourin**
Huh?
**[08:27] Suiko**
Maybe she's thinking about a boy?
**[08:30] Rekka**
Oh no, you can't, Kou!
**[08:33] Rekka**
The members of ULTRARARE
aren't allowed to have romance!
**[08:36] Rekka**
Right, Su?
**[08:37] Suiko**
Exactly.
**[08:38] Kourin**
It's not like that!
**[08:40] Kourin**
Someone at my school
has kind of an odd ability.
**[08:44] Kourin**
I'm just curious about it, that's all.
**[08:46] Suiko**
An odd ability?
**[08:48] Rekka**
A Vanguard fighter?
**[08:50] Kourin**
Yes. That's why I have a headache.
**[08:53] Takuto**
That sounds fascinating.
**[08:55] Suiko**
Takuto...
**[08:57] Takuto**
I had heard that everybody at Miyaji Academy
was clueless about Cardfighting.
**[09:02] Takuto**
So for you to discover a new ability there...
**[09:05] Takuto**
It's really quite intriguing.
**[09:08] Takuto**
Right, Kourin?
**[09:13] Akari**
Misaki, you're unbelievable!
**[09:16] Misaki**
What's this about?
**[09:17] Akari**
Yesterday!
**[09:19] Akari**
You didn't have to
turn that boy down like that.
**[09:22] Misaki**
That's none of your business.
**[09:23] Kourin**
Good morning.
**[09:25] Kourin**
Misaki Tokura...
**[09:28] Akari**
Kourin Tatsunagi...
**[09:30] Misaki**
Did you want something?
**[09:32] Kourin**
Do you have some time right now?
**[09:35] Akari**
Huh?
**[09:39] Kourin**
Misaki Tokura.
**[09:40] Kourin**
I challenge you to a Vanguard fight.
**[09:44] Akari**
Huh?
**[09:45] Misaki**
Why?
**[09:47] Kourin**
I want to see just how good
of a fighter you could possibly be,
**[09:51] Kourin**
and yet turn down Aichi's invitation.
**[09:55] Akari**
C-Could this situation be...
**[09:58] Akari**
...some kind of desperate love triangle?!
**[10:04] The Two**
No!
**[10:06] Kourin**
I can lend you a deck. Take your pick.
**[10:10] Akari**
No need for that!
**[10:12] Akari**
She's always got cards in her bag.
**[10:16] Misaki**
Hey! Hands off my things!
**[10:18] Akari**
Whenever Misaki's bored,
**[10:20] Akari**
she always fiddles with her cards!
**[10:21] Kourin**
If she likes Vanguard that much, then why...?
**[10:22] Misaki**
Shut up!
**[10:26] Aichi**
No, she didn't.
**[10:29] Kourin**
Why would she do that to Aichi?
**[10:35] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[10:38] Misaki**
I ride Lozenge Magus!
**[10:40] Kourin**
I ride Crimson Lion Cub, Kyrph!
**[10:59] Kourin**
Oracle Think Tank...
**[11:01] Kourin**
The clan that specializes
in predicting the future.
**[11:04] Misaki**
It's my turn.
**[11:05] Misaki**
I ride Cuore Magus!
**[11:07] Misaki**
Fortune Telling!
**[11:09] Misaki**
I saw your fate!
**[11:15] Misaki**
And then, with Lozenge Magus's skill,
I draw one card.
**[11:19] Misaki**
My turn is over.
**[11:20] Kourin**
Already manipulating her deck...
She's up to something.
**[11:26] Kourin**
May I ask one thing?
**[11:27] Misaki**
Go ahead.
**[11:28] Kourin**
Is it true that you control the whole school
with a mysterious superhuman power?
**[11:36] Akari**
"Control the school," she says!
**[11:37] Misaki**
Of course not!
**[11:40] Akari**
She does have a superhuman power, though.
**[11:42] Misaki**
Listen, you...
**[11:44] Kourin**
But is that power useful for Vanguard fights?
**[11:49] Misaki**
I watched one of your fights before.
**[11:52] Misaki**
Unless you've changed the makeup of your deck,
**[11:55] Misaki**
your four grade 1 units are...
**[11:57] Misaki**
Waving Owl,
**[11:59] Misaki**
Listener of Truth, Dindrane,
**[12:03] Misaki**
Evil Slaying Swordsman, Haugan,
**[12:06] Misaki**
and lastly...
**[12:07] Misaki**
...Knight of Elegant Skills, Gareth.
**[12:12] Kourin**
How...?!
**[12:14] Misaki**
Once I see something, I never forget it.
**[12:16] Misaki**
That's the ability that
sets me apart from everyone else.
**[12:21] Kourin**
Eidetic memory? I've heard of that.
**[12:24] Kourin**
It's as though the brain takes
a photograph of everything seen by the eyes.
**[12:29] Kourin**
So you possess a perfect memory.
**[12:32] Misaki**
Don't exaggerate it.
**[12:34] Misaki**
All I'm saying is that my memory
is slightly better than everyone else's.
**[12:39] Kourin**
I attack your Vanguard.
**[12:41] Misaki**
No guard.
**[12:45] Misaki**
Still, it's true that people
fear me because I possess this ability.
**[12:52] Misaki**
Just as the rumors say.
**[13:00] Shingo**
Why must someone as delicate as me
be expected to do grunt work?!
**[13:07] Shingo**
That's Kourin and the Backstage Boss.
**[13:12] Misaki**
It's my turn.
**[13:13] Misaki**
I ride Rectangle Magus!
**[13:20] Misaki**
Come, my avatar.
**[13:25] Misaki**
Using Rectangle Magus's skill,
**[13:29] Misaki**
I check my top two cards.
**[13:31] Kourin**
More deck manipulation?
**[13:35] Misaki**
When Aichi first started coming to the shop,
**[13:37] Misaki**
his timidity made me
think he was just a weirdo.
**[13:40] Misaki**
But after he fought a variety of people,
**[13:44] Misaki**
he became more assertive,
almost like a different person.
**[13:47] Misaki**
That's the Aichi who
shone brightly within my heart.
**[13:53] Misaki**
And now, Aichi is taking
a new step together with you guys.
**[14:00] Misaki**
I'm a pariah at this school, so I'd just
be holding you back if I joined your club.
**[14:06] Kourin**
No guard.
**[14:08] Misaki**
This is the fate that's been woven for me.
**[14:12] Misaki**
Critical trigger!
**[14:14] Misaki**
I give the power to my
rear-guard Rectangle Magus
**[14:17] Misaki**
and the extra critical to my Vanguard.
**[14:19] Misaki**
Also, Rectangle Magus's skill activates.
**[14:31] Rectangle Magus**
Let's go!
**[14:32] Tetra Magus**
Leave it to me!
**[14:39] Kourin**
Don't toy with us.
**[14:41] Kourin**
If you're this good at fighting,
**[14:43] Kourin**
why won't you return Aichi's feelings?
**[14:46] Kourin**
He even said that he wanted
to form the Cardfight Club with you.
**[14:52] Shingo**
Th-This is bad!
**[14:54] Kourin**
I've made up my mind. I'm going to
smash you with everything I've got.
**[14:59] Akari**
But isn't the rule that
you can't join the club unless you win?
**[15:03] Kourin**
Then you'll try to lose on purpose.
**[15:06] Misaki**
Very sharp.
**[15:08] Kourin**
For this fight, if I beat you,
you have to join the Cardfight Club.
**[15:12] Kourin**
If you don't want that to happen,
do everything in your power to beat me.
**[15:17] Misaki**
Oh, I will.
**[15:19] Naoki**
Wh-What?!
**[15:21] Naoki**
Kourin's fightin' the Backstage Boss?!
**[15:24] Shingo**
Shhhh!
**[15:25] Shingo**
Keep your voice down!
**[15:27] Aichi**
But why?
**[15:28] Shingo**
I'm not sure myself...
**[15:31] Naoki**
Maybe it's the club initiation test?
**[15:33] Shingo**
Yes, that must be it!
**[15:36] Aichi**
Shingo, will you take me there?
**[15:39] Shingo**
Of course!
**[15:41] Naoki**
Hey! Class's about to start!
**[15:46] Naoki**
Like I could stop 'im...
**[15:51] Naoki**
So who's winning?!
**[15:52] Shingo**
They're tied at 3 damage each!
**[15:57] Aichi**
But Kourin is already riding Blond Ezel.
**[16:01] Naoki**
She's already got out the Accel circle, too!
**[16:05] Naoki**
Backstage Boss or not,
this looks to be her day of reckoning.
**[16:09] Aichi**
Misaki...
**[16:14] Kourin**
What? Are you here to watch?
**[16:16] Naoki**
Well, as fellow club members,
we ain't just letting you go this alone.
**[16:20] Shingo**
Precisely.
**[16:23] Misaki**
Fellow club members, huh?
**[16:29] GirlD**
Creepy...
**[16:30] GirlE**
Why would she remember all that?
**[16:33] Misaki**
No...
**[16:35] Misaki**
I should just watch over Aichi from afar.
**[16:40] Misaki**
I ride!
**[16:52] Misaki**
Hexagonal Magus!
**[16:55] Misaki**
Imaginary Gift! Protect!
**[17:02] Misaki**
With the skill of Hexagonal Magus,
**[17:05] Misaki**
I check my top two cards, and then draw!
**[17:08] Misaki**
I call Rectangle Magus to the rear-guard.
**[17:11] Misaki**
Skill activates!
**[17:14] Misaki**
The thread of fate leads me here,
to where my comrades gather!
**[17:19] Naoki**
A full lineup in one fell swoop!
**[17:21] Shingo**
I bet she intends to end the fight here!
**[17:25] Aichi**
Misaki...
**[17:27] Misaki**
Rectangle Magus and Tetra Magus
attack your Vanguard!
**[17:34] Misaki**
Please, Dantegal!
**[17:39] Misaki**
Thank you, Dantegal!
**[17:41] Misaki**
Hexagonal Magus attacks
with a boost from Tetra Magus!
**[17:46] Kourin**
No guard.
**[17:47] Misaki**
The thread of fate has led me...
**[17:50] Misaki**
Twin drive, first check!
**[17:56] Misaki**
Critical trigger!
**[17:58] Misaki**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
**[18:00] Misaki**
Second check.
**[18:01] Naoki**
She even had that set up?
**[18:03] Kourin**
Damage check.
**[18:06] Kourin**
Draw trigger.
**[18:08] Kourin**
I give the power to Blond Ezel.
**[18:12] Shingo**
Now Kourin has 5 damage!
**[18:14] Naoki**
Her back's to the wall!
**[18:15] Aichi**
Misaki...
**[18:19] Tetra Magus**
Let's destroy them, Sister!
**[18:22] Hexagonal Magus**
Yes, indeed.
**[18:30] Kourin**
I'm not giving up yet!
**[18:34] Shingo**
She blocked it!
**[18:35] Naoki**
Attagirl, idol!
**[18:37] Kourin**
I did what I had to do.
**[18:39] Kourin**
I can't afford to lose here, either.
**[18:42] Kourin**
It's my turn.
**[18:43] Kourin**
I call Evil Slaying Swordsman, Haugan
and Halo Shield, Mark.
**[18:48] Shingo**
She called a sentinel?!
**[18:50] Kourin**
This match ends here!
**[18:52] Kourin**
Nemean Lion attacks your Vanguard!
**[18:55] Misaki**
No guard.
**[18:56] Misaki**
Damage check.
**[18:59] Misaki**
No trigger.
**[19:00] Kourin**
Gareth and Viviane attack your Vanguard!
**[19:07] Kourin**
With a boost from Mark,
I attack your Vanguard!
**[19:11] Kourin**
Blond Ezel's skill activates!
**[19:13] Kourin**
I superior call Battlefield Storm, Sagramore!
**[19:17] Kourin**
Sagramore's Soul Blast!
**[19:20] Kourin**
I draw one card.
**[19:22] Kourin**
I superior call
Knight of Elegant Skills, Gareth!
**[19:27] Aichi**
Misaki still has an Imaginary Gift.
**[19:31] Misaki**
Imaginary Gift! Protect!
**[19:37] Kourin**
Twin drive.
**[19:38] Kourin**
First check.
**[19:42] Kourin**
Second check.
**[19:51] Naoki**
Whoa!
**[19:52] Shingo**
A double trigger!
**[19:56] Kourin**
It appears your thread of fate
has led you to a dead end.
**[20:14] Misaki**
I lost.
**[20:16] Naoki**
T-Too bad, huh, Aichi?
**[20:19] Shingo**
L-Let's start looking for
another prospective member.
**[20:23] Aichi**
Um... please fight her once more!
**[20:26] Aichi**
Knowing Misaki, I'm sure she'll win next...
**[20:29] Kourin**
I think you have the wrong idea here.
**[20:31] Aichi**
Huh?
**[20:32] Shingo**
But you won, Kourin, which means...
**[20:35] Naoki**
The Boss failed the club initiation, right?
**[20:40] Kourin**
Silly boys.
***SIGN*** Club Application Misaki Tokura
**[20:48] Misaki**
I'm your new member, Misaki Tokura.
**[20:51] Misaki**
I look forward to participating.
**[20:53] Naoki**
M-Me, too!
**[20:55] Shingo**
We're very glad to have you!
**[20:57] Misaki**
I'm sorry, Aichi.
**[20:59] Aichi**
I'm just thrilled that we
get to be in the same club, Misaki.
**[21:04] Aichi**
You too, Kourin. Thank you.
**[21:09] Kourin**
I-It's not like I did this for you.
**[21:14] Naoki**
A hot-cold personality?!
That's so last decade!
**[21:16] Kourin**
Excuse me?!
**[21:18] Naoki**
It ain't like it's a bad thing!
**[21:20] Naoki**
But this's definitely the cold part!
**[21:21] Aichi**
We now have five club members.
**[21:25] Aichi**
The image I had for this club has taken shape.
**[21:30] Shin**
All right, everyone! Smile!
**[23:11] Aichi**
Five club members at last!
**[23:12] Naoki**
And with the Backstage Boss on our side,
we ain't got nothin' to fear!
**[23:15] Misaki**
Who are you calling "Backstage Boss"?!
**[23:17] The Two**
M-Misaki!
**[23:18] Misaki**
That stuff about me controlling the school
from behind the scenes is nonsense!
**[23:21] Kourin**
Then, you breaking up a gang of delinquents in
a field with those clay pipes was also a rumor...?
**[23:26] Shingo**
How little you know!
**[23:28] Shingo**
They were Hume pipes
made of reinforced concrete, not clay!
**[23:32] Aichi**
That's your focus?!
**[23:33] Shingo**
First of all, a Hume pipe is most applicable...
**[23:34] Misaki**
A civil engineering geek?!

**[00:05] Itsuki**
Regarding your Cardfight Club application...
**[00:08] Itsuki**
I see no issues with it.
**[00:14] Itsuki**
President, your approval, please.
**[00:17] Naito**
"A club where students can enjoy Vanguard"...
**[00:21] Naito**
I don't see how that suits Miyaji Academy,
**[00:23] Naito**
where our mission is
to cultivate a globalized workforce.
**[00:29] Naito**
Still, rules are rules.
I'll grant you permission.
**[00:34] Aichi**
Thank you very much!
**[00:36] Maki**
"Cardfight Club: officially approved."
**[00:39] Maki**
"Captain: Aichi Sendou"...
**[00:43] Itsuki**
Your club room is at the end of
the hallway in the humanities wing.
**[00:47] Aichi**
Right! Thank you!
**[00:52] Naito**
Incidentally...
**[00:53] Naito**
...what is "Vanguard"?
**[00:56] The Two**
Huh?
**[01:01] Shingo**
This is our club room?
**[01:05] Naoki**
All right! Let's get fightin'!
**[01:08] Kourin**
It's dark in here.
**[01:11] Misaki**
We need to clean up the place first.
**[01:17] Aichi**
Right...
**[01:18] Aichi**
But before that...
**[01:22] Misaki**
What's wrong?
**[01:24] Aichi**
I'm so nervous, I don't think
I can write the name of our club neatly...
**[01:28] Naoki**
I'll write it, then!
**[01:30] Shingo**
Keep your messy handwriting off of that sign!
**[01:33] Shingo**
It'll be here for a long time!
***SIGN*** Cardfight Club
**[01:39] The Three**
Oooh!
**[01:41] Aichi**
Thank you so much, Kourin.
**[01:44] Aichi**
You have lovely handwriting.
**[01:46] Kourin**
D-Do I?
**[01:50] Aichi**
May you host us for three whole years!
**[01:54] Aichi**
I'm now a student at Miyaji Academy,
**[01:57] Aichi**
and have decided to start a Cardfight Club.
**[02:02] Aichi**
I've got to imagine it!
**[02:05] Aichi**
I'm sure my imagination will take shape!
***SIGN*** Image 32 First Exchange Match
**[03:45] Suiko**
Huh... So your Cardfight Club is official now.
**[03:48] Rekka**
You worked hard on that, didn't you, Kou?
**[03:52] Kourin**
Not really.
**[03:54] Takuto**
Now you can enter team competitions.
**[03:57] Kourin**
Yes, although Aichi's the only one
with actual tournament experience.
**[04:01] Rekka**
Then you should do
exchange matches with other schools.
**[04:05] Kourin**
Exchange matches...
**[04:07] Suiko**
Good idea!
**[04:09] Suiko**
And to start...
***SIGN*** Cardfight Club
**[04:12] Naoki**
Man, I lost again!
**[04:14] Aichi**
This should do it!
**[04:19] Naoki**
Why?! Why can't I beat you?!
**[04:21] Naoki**
I poured my blood, sweat and tears
into building this deck!
**[04:24] Shingo**
That deck is where the problem lies.
**[04:27] Misaki**
Naoki Ishida...
**[04:29] Misaki**
You have eight critical triggers and
eight front triggers in your deck, don't you?
**[04:36] Naoki**
I-Incredible! That's our psychic Boss for ya!
**[04:39] Misaki**
I'm not psychic! I just know
that much after several matches!
**[04:43] Misaki**
And I'm not a "Boss"!
**[04:45] Naoki**
Oh, right! You're the "Backstage Boss"!
**[04:47] Misaki**
I am not!
**[04:49] Misaki**
Anyway, about your deck...
**[04:52] Misaki**
Put in four heal triggers.
**[04:54] Misaki**
And adding draw triggers
will also help stabilize your deck.
**[04:58] Naoki**
Thanks! I'll give that a try!
**[05:05] Misaki**
Now your card draws
should mesh well with your strategy.
**[05:08] Shingo**
Yes, I see...
**[05:10] Naoki**
The Boss's amazing, ain't she, Aichi?
**[05:13] Naoki**
She's like a walking card encyclopedia.
**[05:16] Aichi**
Naoki, calling her "Boss" is...
**[05:19] Naoki**
Even though she looks scary,
**[05:21] Naoki**
she's real nice when telling us about cards.
**[05:24] Aichi**
Yeah!
**[05:25] Naoki**
Unlike a certain cute-looking but
scary-acting idol, she's the exact opposite!
**[05:31] Kourin**
The exact opposite of what?
**[05:34] Aichi**
K-Kourin!
**[05:36] Kourin**
You shouldn't be that surprised.
**[05:38] Kourin**
I'm only a few minutes late.
**[05:41] Aichi**
W-We were just discussing
everyone's fighting styles...
**[05:46] Kourin**
Oh, really?
**[05:48] Naoki**
Thank god she dropped the topic!
**[05:50] Aichi**
Come on, Naoki!
**[05:53] Kourin**
Actually, when I told an acquaintance
that we'd formed a Cardfight club,
**[05:57] Kourin**
she proposed an exchange match,
and I gave her a tentative okay...
**[06:02] Aichi**
An exchange match?
**[06:03] Aichi**
With a Cardfight club from another school?
**[06:06] Kourin**
Right. Should I have said no?
**[06:09] Aichi**
Of course not! I welcome
this chance with open arms!
**[06:11] Naoki**
A match against another school? Let's do this!
**[06:15] Shingo**
When is the match?
**[06:17] Kourin**
Next Sunday.
**[06:18] Misaki**
At which school?
**[06:21] Naoki**
You forgot already?!
**[06:23] Kourin**
It won't be a problem.
**[06:25] Kourin**
I'll have Ushimaru give us a lift.
**[06:29] Naoki**
So how do exchange matches work, anyway?
**[06:37] Ushimaru**
We've arrived.
**[06:38] Kourin**
Thank you, Ushimaru.
**[06:42] Aichi**
This is the school?
**[06:44] Naoki**
"Fukuhara"?
***SIGN*** Fukuhara High School
**[06:46] Shingo**
Could this be "the" Fukuhara High?
**[06:50] Kourin**
You're familiar with it?
**[06:51] Shingo**
But of course!
**[06:53] Shingo**
This is the school that won last year's
Vanguard Fight High School Championship!
**[06:58] Naoki**
Perfect! I don't gotta hold back!
**[07:02] Misaki**
I have a bad feeling about this...
**[07:04] Tetsu**
We've been waiting for you,
students of Miyaji Academy.
**[07:09] Tetsu**
It's been quite a while, Aichi Sendou.
**[07:12] Aichi**
Tetsu!
**[07:14] Shingo**
That's Tetsu Shinjou,
the captain of last year's team!
**[07:18] Shingo**
But I thought he had graduated?
**[07:20] Tetsu**
I'm now their coach.
**[07:22] Tetsu**
Our current captain should be
the one out here to meet you,
**[07:25] Tetsu**
but he's somewhat undependable.
**[07:28] Tetsu**
He's wandered off again...
**[07:30] Ren**
Oh!
**[07:31] Ren**
It's Aichi!
**[07:34] Ren**
Welcome to Fukuhara High!
**[07:37] Aichi**
Ren!
**[07:38] Asaka**
That's dangerous, Ren!
**[07:40] Misaki**
It just had to be his school...
**[07:42] Shingo**
I see! Ren Suzugamori, the third-place winner
of the Asia Circuit, attends Fukuhara High School.
**[07:48] Aichi**
Which must mean their captain is...
**[07:51] Tetsu**
Yes, it's Ren.
**[07:55] Ren**
And there's Misa-Q!
**[07:56] The Two**
"Misa-Q"?
**[07:57] Misaki**
You don't have to comment on that!
**[08:00] Kourin**
I see. So their captain
fought Aichi at the Asia Circuit.
**[08:05] Misaki**
You didn't know that
before you brought us here?
**[08:08] Kourin**
I told you. This is just where
my acquaintance goes to school.
**[08:12] Kourin**
In any case, you and he seem pretty close.
**[08:15] Kourin**
Your boyfriend?
**[08:16] Misaki**
No! He was originally our enemy!
**[08:23] Ren**
I haven't seen you since the Asia Circuit!
**[08:25] Ren**
I've been looking forward
to you visiting here, Aichi.
**[08:28] Aichi**
I'm glad to see you again too, Ren.
**[08:35] Tetsu**
This is Fukuhara's Cardfight Club.
**[08:39] Naoki**
You get this whole huge room?!
**[08:43] Shingo**
It's roughly 100 times bigger than ours.
**[08:46] Aichi**
And aren't those playing tables custom-made?
**[08:50] Tetsu**
Yes. All fights that take place here
are recorded into a database,
**[08:55] Tetsu**
which is helpful for
improving our members' skills.
**[08:58] The Three**
Wow!
**[09:01] Misaki**
I recognize some of these people.
**[09:04] Tetsu**
It's true that some of them are
former members of Team Asteroid.
**[09:07] Tetsu**
But we don't do anything heavy-handed anymore.
**[09:12] Tetsu**
Sendou. Thanks to you,
my research now has a clear direction.
**[09:17] Aichi**
Your research? Into PSYqualia?
**[09:20] Tetsu**
Yes. And we have a new collaborator.
**[09:23] Suiko**
Aichi is here!
**[09:27] Suiko**
You're adorable!
**[09:29] Aichi**
A-A-Aren't you...
**[09:32] Kourin**
Hands off of him, Suiko!
**[09:35] Shingo**
And now we have Suiko Tatsunagi from ULTRARARE!
**[09:39] Shingo**
I see! So she was Kourin's acquaintance!
**[09:43] Misaki**
Suiko Tatsunagi...
**[09:46] Kai**
That's the girl who told Ren
his power was named "PSYqualia."
**[09:50] Misaki**
She's your collaborator?
**[09:52] Tetsu**
That's right.
**[09:53] Tetsu**
To be precise, the Tatsunagi Group
is providing us assistance through her.
**[09:58] Tetsu**
Apparently, she's been interested
in PSYqualia for quite some time.
**[10:02] Shingo**
The winners of the Asia Circuit...
**[10:04] Shingo**
Two members of ULTRARARE,
Vanguard's official idol group...
**[10:09] Shingo**
It's as if...
**[10:10] Shingo**
...the entirety of Vanguard
is present in this room!
**[10:14] Naoki**
Really?
**[10:15] Shingo**
I'm so glad that I went to Miyaji Academy!
**[10:19] Tetsu**
Listen up, everyone!
**[10:21] Tetsu**
Students from Miyaji Academy
are paying us a visit.
**[10:24] Tetsu**
They've only just formed their Cardfight Club,
**[10:26] Tets**
but their captain, Aichi Sendou,
**[10:28] Tetsu**
is a first-class fighter
who won the last Asia Circuit.
**[10:33] Member1**
I heard he beat Captain Suzugamori.
**[10:35] Member2**
He's so cute!
**[10:37] Tetsu**
I'd like you to learn from
the experience of challenging him.
**[10:40] Tetsu**
Sendou, if you could say a few words.
**[10:42] Aichi**
Huh?
**[10:44] Misaki**
Make a good impression, Captain!
**[10:49] Aichi**
Um...
**[10:50] Aichi**
We're Miyaji Academy's Cardfight Club.
**[10:53] Aichi**
Thank you for hosting our match today!
**[10:57] The Five**
Thank you!
**[11:10] Tetsu**
I see. A team competition, then?
**[11:12] Aichi**
Yes.
**[11:13] Aichi**
Since we've just formed our club,
I'd like us to gain that experience.
**[11:17] Tetsu**
Got it.
**[11:19] Tetsu**
Then we'll start with
a three-on-three team battle.
**[11:22] Tetsu**
Choose your team.
**[11:23] Aichi**
Okay.
**[11:25] Misaki**
The first to go is key.
**[11:27] Misaki**
Who will it be?
**[11:28] Naoki**
All right, then I'll do this!
**[11:30] Naoki**
I've been itching for a fight
so bad, I can hardly stand still!
**[11:35] Aichi**
Sure, then.
**[11:36] Shingo**
I protest!
**[11:38] Naoki**
Say what?!
**[11:39] Shingo**
You're still a lowly beginner!
**[11:41] Shingo**
Yet you would charge in
ahead of our superstars?
**[11:45] Shingo**
You should learn your place!
**[11:46] Naoki**
Charge!
**[11:49] Shingo**
Unacceptable!
**[11:52] Shingo**
Sendou, our captain and powerhouse,
should be the one to go first.
**[11:57] Misaki**
Good point.
**[11:58] Kourin**
Yes, I agree.
**[11:59] Aichi**
A-All right.
**[12:02] Aichi**
Then, I'll go first.
**[12:07] Tetsu**
Miyaji Academy is sending in Sendou?
**[12:10] Ren**
Then, since I'm also a captain...
**[12:13] Asaka**
Ren!
**[12:15] Ren**
What's wrong, Asaka?
**[12:17] Asaka**
With your permission...
**[12:20] Asaka**
...I would like to fight Aichi Sendou.
**[12:24] Ren**
Aww! That's no fun for me!
**[12:26] Tetsu**
Ren...
**[12:27] Tetsu**
Let's leave this fight to Asaka.
**[12:30] Ren**
Tetsu...
**[12:32] Tetsu**
Go ahead, Asaka.
**[12:33] Tetsu**
Give Sendou a shot.
**[12:35] Asaka**
Right.
**[12:38] Aichi**
Um, this is our first time fighting, isn't it?
**[12:42] Aichi**
I'm Aichi Sendou.
**[12:46] Asaka**
I'm Asaka Narumi. Nice to meet you.
**[12:49] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[12:53] Aichi**
I ride!
**[12:55] Aichi**
Glyme!
**[12:58] Asaka**
I ride!
**[13:00] Asaka**
Entertain Messenger!
**[13:08] Suiko**
What are you plotting?
**[13:10] Tetsu**
There's something I'd like to confirm.
**[13:13] Aichi**
I ride!
**[13:15] Aichi**
Knight Squire, Allen!
**[13:19] Suiko**
Confirm what?
**[13:21] Tetsu**
Whether or not Sendou has lost his PSYqualia.
**[13:26] Asaka**
I ride!
**[13:28] Asaka**
Starting Presenter!
**[13:31] Asaka**
Here I come!
**[13:35] Suiko**
Wouldn't Ren have been the
better opponent for that purpose?
**[13:39] Suiko**
Doesn't it take a strong opponent
to make PSYqualia manifest?
**[13:44] Tetsu**
No, it wouldn't have worked with Ren.
**[13:48] Aichi**
I ride!
**[13:52] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[13:54] Aichi**
Knight of Silence, Gallatin!
**[13:57] Aichi**
Knight of Friendship, Kay!
**[14:01] Aichi**
Skill activates!
**[14:02] Aichi**
Superior call!
**[14:06] Bedivere**
Knight of Loyalty, Bedivere has arrived!
**[14:11] Aichi**
Let's go, everyone!
**[14:21] Tetsu**
During the recent Asia Circuit,
**[14:24] Tetsu**
Sendou never clearly
exhibited PSYqualia, not even once.
**[14:29] Tetsu**
Not even when he fought Ren.
**[14:31] Tetsu**
Either they had sealed
their PSYqualias, or else...
**[14:35] Tetsu**
Judging by today's mood,
**[14:37] Tetsu**
it's most likely that Ren and Aichi
would just enjoy their fight, start to finish.
**[14:42] Tetsu**
However, it's different with Asaka.
**[14:46] Bedivere**
Kay! Follow me!
**[14:48] Kay**
Of course!
**[14:49] Asaka**
Purple Trapezist! You're on!
**[14:54] Trapezist**
Delighted!
**[14:59] Asaka**
Ren changed completely...
**[15:02] Asaka**
...simply by fighting him.
**[15:05] Asaka**
It's a change that I should've welcomed,
**[15:09] Asaka**
but still...
**[15:12] Asaka**
...why did he have to be the one to cause it?!
**[15:15] Asaka**
Why not me, the person closest to Ren?!
**[15:19] Asaka**
I ride!
**[15:21] Asaka**
Jumping Jill!
**[15:25] Asaka**
To the ring, Nitro Juggler!
**[15:29] Asaka**
Starting Presenter! Midnight Bunny!
**[15:34] Asaka**
Jill and Bunny's boosted attack!
**[15:36] Aichi**
I guard with Epona and Gallatin!
**[15:39] Asaka**
Drive check.
**[15:43] Asaka**
Critical trigger!
**[15:45] Asaka**
Nitro Juggler and
Starting Presenter's boosted attack!
**[15:53] Asaka**
That's what I want to learn.
**[15:57] Ren**
Asaka's really fired up!
**[16:00] Tetsu**
I gave Asaka very thorough training.
**[16:03] Tetsu**
She's much stronger than she was before.
**[16:07] Aichi**
I ride!
**[16:12] Aichi**
King of Knights, Alfred!
**[16:16] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[16:19] Aichi**
Alfred's skill activates!
**[16:20] Aichi**
Superior call!
**[16:22] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[16:24] Blaster**
Yes, my Vanguard.
**[16:29] Blaster**
Burst Buster!
**[16:35] Aichi**
Let's go, everyone!
**[16:40] Aichi**
Great Sword!
**[16:43] Aichi**
Drive check!
**[16:45] Aichi**
Critical trigger!
**[16:49] Aichi**
Blaster Blade attacks!
**[16:51] Asaka**
The show's not over yet!
**[16:53] Asaka**
Hades Hypnotist!
**[17:00] Naoki**
A perfect guard!
**[17:02] Shingo**
But Sendou still has the advantage.
**[17:05] Suiko**
Will it end here?
**[17:07] Tetsu**
It's too soon to tell.
**[17:09] Tetsu**
Asaka's spirit may still
back Sendou into a corner.
**[17:13] Asaka**
I ride!
**[17:14] Asaka**
Golden Beast Tamer!
**[17:17] Asaka**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[17:21] Asaka**
Dancing Knifedancer!
**[17:24] Asaka**
Artilleryman!
**[17:26] Asaka**
I will not lose!
**[17:34] Naoki**
That makes 5 damage!
**[17:36] Asaka**
It's the final act!
**[17:38] Tetsu**
So, what will you do, Sendou?
**[17:40] Tetsu**
If you're going to use PSYqualia,
now is the time to do it!
**[17:47] Aichi**
Elaine! Wingal!
**[17:54] Aichi**
It's my turn. Stand and draw!
**[17:57] Aichi**
Materializing here now
**[17:59] Aichi**
is the great sovereign who rules
the sacred lands of United Sanctuary!
**[18:05] Aichi**
I ride Monarch Sanctuary Alfred!
**[18:09] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[18:12] Aichi**
Monarch Sanctuary Alfred's skill activates!
**[18:16] Aichi**
I move Blaster Blade
from the Drop Zone into my hand!
**[18:20] Shingo**
That give Monarch +15,000 power,
**[18:23] Shingo**
and with King of Knights, Alfred
in the Soul, it also gains an extra critical!
**[18:29] Aichi**
Wingal! Blaster Blade!
**[18:36] Blaster**
Burst Buster!
**[18:43] Aichi**
Subjugation Field! Theater Moderate!
**[18:49] Asaka**
Th-The show must go on!
**[18:50] Asaka**
Candy Clown!
**[18:54] Aichi**
Drive check!
**[18:55] Aichi**
Critical trigger!
**[19:06] Asaka**
Damage check...
**[19:11] Asaka**
No trigger.
**[19:14] Crowd**
Whoaaaa!
**[19:17] Naoki**
He did it!
**[19:19] Ren**
Aichi won, huh?
**[19:21] Tetsu**
Without PSYqualia...
**[19:24] Aichi**
Thank you for the game.
**[19:27] Asaka**
Thank you... for the game...
**[19:36] Suiko**
It was a close match, Asaka.
**[19:47] Asaka**
It's so frustrating...
**[19:49] Tetsu**
Even Ren had a hard time fighting him.
**[19:51] Tetsu**
Don't fret over it.
**[19:55] Tetsu**
Not even a fight against Asaka
brought out his PSYqualia...
**[19:59] Naoki**
That was great, Aichi!
**[20:01] Aichi**
Thank you!
**[20:03] Naoki**
All right!
**[20:04] Naoki**
I'm up next!
**[20:06] Kourin**
Uh...
**[20:08] Shingo**
I'm the one who's up next!
**[20:11] Naoki**
That's playin' dirty, Shingo!
**[20:13] Shingo**
Who will be my opponent?!
**[20:15] Kawanami**
I'll be your opponent.
**[20:22] Kawanami**
My name is Minami Kawanami.
**[20:24] Kawanami**
I used to fight for Team Asteroid,
but now I'm a Dog Fighter!
**[20:27] Misaki**
He's the guy who tried to take over Capital.
**[20:30] Kourin**
Really?
**[20:31] Kawanami**
I'll show you my animal power!
**[20:38] Shingo**
Just what you'd expect of Fukuhara High!
**[20:40] Shingo**
They have some terrifying Cardfighters!
**[20:43] Kawanami**
Stand up, Woof-guard!
**[20:46] Shingo**
Aieeeeee!
**[20:51] Shingo**
I couldn't do a thing against him...
**[20:53] Misaki**
Your troubles started before the fight began.
**[20:57] Kourin**
That's one win and one loss.
**[20:59] Kourin**
The next match will decide the winning team.
**[21:01] Naoki**
This's my turn, for sure!
**[21:04] Aichi**
Right!
**[21:05] Aichi**
Good luck, Naoki!
**[21:06] Naoki**
Thanks!
**[21:07] Tetsu**
What about it, Tatsunagi? Want to fight him?
**[21:11] Suiko**
Sure.
**[21:16] Suiko**
I'll fight you.
**[21:20] Naoki**
Kourin's fellow idol, huh?
**[21:22] Naoki**
Are you as strong as her?
**[21:24] Suiko**
You'll find out soon enough.
**[21:27] Naoki**
I'm Naoki Ishida.
**[21:30] Suiko**
Suiko Tatsunagi.
**[21:31] Suiko**
Now, let's get started.
**[21:35] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[23:10] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[23:12] Suiko**
Let's decide who goes first.
**[23:14] Naoki**
Before that, there's something that bugs me.
**[23:17] Suiko**
What is it?
**[23:18] Naoki**
Ain't a sailor uniform
kind of a stretch for you?
**[23:21] Naoki**
You sure it suits you? Really?
**[23:24] Naoki**
'Cause it don't.
Just wear normal clothes.
**[23:26] Suiko**
You say the funniest things, kid.
**[23:28] Naoki**
But even the way you talk don't
suit a sailor-suited high school girl.
**[23:32] Suiko**
Meet me behind the school later.
**[23:34] Suiko**
I'll treat you realllly nice...

Suiko Tatsunagi.
**[00:05] Suiko**
Now, let's get started.
**[00:09] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[00:13] Naoki**
I ride!
**[00:16] Naoki**
Spark Kid Dragoon!
**[00:19] Suiko**
I ride!
**[00:22] Suiko**
First Aid Celestial, Peniel!
***SIGN*** Image 33 Vanguard Koshien
**[02:11] Shingo**
Now Ishida has 2 damage!
**[02:13] Shingo**
While Suiko still has 0 damage!
**[02:17] Aichi**
It's okay.
**[02:18] Aichi**
The fight only just began.
**[02:21] Naoki**
I ride!
**[02:25] Naoki**
Recklessness Dragon!
**[02:27] Naoki**
I'm gonna slam ya with all I got!
**[02:31] Naoki**
Help me out, you guys!
**[02:33] Dragoons**
Yeah!
**[02:34] Naoki**
My two Thunderstorm Dragoon units
get +5000 power with their skill!
**[02:39] Naoki**
You join in, too!
**[02:41] Red River**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[02:43] Naoki**
Go!
**[02:45] Naoki**
Thunderstorm!
**[02:47] Suiko**
Guard!
**[02:50] Naoki**
Oh yeah...?
**[02:51] Naoki**
Then I'll be the one to smash through!
**[02:55] Naoki**
Drive check!
**[02:57] Naoki**
Critical trigger!
**[02:58] Naoki**
I give the power to my left Thunderstorm,
**[03:01] Naoki**
and the extra critical to my Vanguard!
**[03:07] Naoki**
Now, Thunderstorm Dragoon!
**[03:14] Naoki**
3 damage in one turn!
**[03:17] Shingo**
Ishida turned it around
simply by drawing a trigger!
**[03:20] Aichi**
Yeah, and now the momentum is
on his side. It's a very Naoki-like fight.
**[03:25] Kourin**
Still, that may be a disadvantage
when his opponent is Suiko.
**[03:28] Aichi**
Huh? What do you mean?
**[03:32] Kourin**
Watch, and you'll see.
**[03:34] Suiko**
I ride!
**[03:39] Suiko**
Rear Impetus Celestial, Armaiti!
**[03:42] Suiko**
Skill activates!
**[03:44] Suiko**
I move Arabhaki from the Soul
to the Drop Zone.
**[03:46] Suiko**
I then dispatch one card
from my deck to the Damage Zone,
**[03:49] Suiko**
and superior call Million Ray Pegasus
from the Damage Zone!
**[04:00] Naoki**
What?!
**[04:02] Naoki**
A superior call from the Damage Zone?!
**[04:05] Kourin**
Yes. Suiko's clan, Angel Feather,
**[04:07] Kourin**
skillfully manipulates the
Damage Zone to strengthen their ranks.
**[04:11] Kourin**
The more damage Suiko takes,
the more opportunities she receives.
**[04:16] Aichi**
Each damage... is an opportunity?
**[04:19] Suiko**
I call!
**[04:20] Suiko**
Wild Shot Celestial, Raguel!
**[04:25] Shingo**
All her front row
rear-guard circles are occupied!
**[04:28] Suiko**
Which means you can't use
Thunderstorm's skill anymore!
**[04:32] Suiko**
I call Thousand Ray!
**[04:38] Suiko**
Million Ray Pegasus! Injection Ray!
**[04:46] Suiko**
Nicely done, Million Ray Pegasus!
**[04:49] Suiko**
Now it's my shift!
**[04:55] Suiko**
We're still on call!
**[04:56] Raguel**
Thousand Fever!
**[04:59] Naoki**
Oh crud!
**[05:00] Naoki**
I'm countin' on you, Yellow Gem Carbuncle!
**[05:03] Carbuncle**
I've got this, my Vanguard!
**[05:07] Carbuncle**
Yay, I protected you!
**[05:09] Naoki**
Yeah, ya did good.
**[05:12] Naoki**
Here I go!
**[05:13] Naoki**
It's my turn! Stand and draw!
**[05:16] Naoki**
I ride!
**[05:19] Naoki**
Great Composure Dragon!
**[05:23] Shingo**
What are you doing?
**[05:25] Shingo**
She has rear-guards in her front row,
so you can't use Composure's skill.
**[05:30] Ren**
Huh! That boy's actually a decent fighter.
**[05:36] Naoki**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[05:43] Naoki**
C'mere, Recklessness Dragon!
**[05:49] Naoki**
Recklessness's skill!
**[05:51] Naoki**
I Counterblast with one card,
**[05:54] Naoki**
and bind Million Ray!
**[06:02] Suiko**
Million Ray!
**[06:03] Tetsu**
I see...
**[06:04] Tetsu**
After binding one of her rear-guards,
his unit's skill is now active!
**[06:10] Ren**
That's right.
**[06:11] Naoki**
Now, time to give her some payback!
**[06:16] Dragoons**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[06:19] Naoki**
Here, you join in, too!
**[06:24] Naoki**
Photon Bomber Wyvern!
**[06:27] Naoki**
Let's go, you guys!
**[06:30] Naoki**
Lost Composure Breath!
**[06:34] Suiko**
I can't block it...
**[06:35] Naoki**
All right!
**[06:37] Naoki**
Twin drive!
**[06:38] Naoki**
First check!
**[06:40] Naoki**
Second check!
**[06:42] Naoki**
I got a front trigger!
**[06:46] Naoki**
Keep at it, you guys!
**[06:47] The Two**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[06:49] Thunderstorm**
I've been waiting for this!
**[06:53] Suiko**
Damage check!
**[06:55] Suiko**
Critical trigger!
**[06:56] Suiko**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
**[06:59] Naoki**
I ain't done yet!
Recklessness attacks your Vanguard!
**[07:03] Naoki**
With its skill, it gets +3000 power!
**[07:06] Naoki**
Wyvern! Thunderstorm! Keep at it!
**[07:10] Suiko**
I'm depending on you,
Hot Shot Celestial, Samyazas!
**[07:16] Samyazas**
Yes, ma'am!
**[07:21] Naoki**
Dang it!
**[07:22] Shingo**
He failed to seal the deal,
**[07:24] Shingo**
despite pushing her
all the way to 5 damage!
**[07:26] Kourin**
Yeah.
**[07:28] Kourin**
I've never seen Suiko
have this hard of a fight...
**[07:33] Suiko**
You amuse me, kid.
**[07:35] Suiko**
However...
**[07:36] Suiko**
Damage Zone Zerachiel's skill!
**[07:39] Suiko**
I dispatch one card
from my deck to the Damage Zone...
**[07:42] Suiko**
and superior ride Zerachiel
from the Damage Zone!
**[07:45] Shingo**
Huh?!
**[07:49] Suiko**
Solidify Celestial, Zerachiel!
**[07:52] Naoki**
The heck?!
**[07:53] Naoki**
She can even ride from the Damage Zone?!
**[07:56] Suiko**
Imaginary Gift! Protect!
**[07:59] Suiko**
And now...
**[08:00] Suiko**
Zerachiel's skill!
**[08:02] Suiko**
All of my front row units get +3000 power!
**[08:05] Suiko**
Furthermore, I call Million Ray!
**[08:08] Suiko**
Here I come! I attack your Vanguard!
**[08:11] Naoki**
No guard!
**[08:13] Suiko**
Twin drive!
**[08:14] Suiko**
First check!
**[08:16] Shingo**
It's a heal trigger!
**[08:18] Suiko**
I heal 1 damage point,
and give the power to Raguel.
**[08:23] Suiko**
Now, receive the blessing of the angels!
**[08:34] Naoki**
Damage check!
**[08:35] Naoki**
Crud! Now I've got 5 damage!
**[08:39] Naoki**
Hm?
**[08:41] Misaki**
Anyway, about your deck...
Put in four heal triggers.
**[08:46] Naoki**
All right! I heal 1 damage point!
**[08:49] Naoki**
Thanks, Boss!
**[08:51] Misaki**
I'm not a "Boss"!
**[08:53] Naoki**
I drew a heal trigger, so there's still hope!
**[08:56] Naoki**
Let's do this!
**[08:57] Suiko**
It's your shift, Raguel!
**[08:59] Raguel**
Right! Fever!
**[09:02] Naoki**
Here it comes...
**[09:06] Naoki**
What?!
**[09:07] Dragon**
I'm sorry, my Vanguard.
**[09:10] Aichi**
Not Naoki's rear-guard...
**[09:12] Shingo**
That was the cornerstone of his attacks!
**[09:15] Naoki**
Hey!
**[09:16] Naoki**
Why ain't you going after me?!
**[09:20] Suiko**
You'll be next!
**[09:21] Suiko**
Million Ray!
**[09:23] Naoki**
Forget it!
**[09:25] Naoki**
C'mere, Zephyr Kid, Hayate!
**[09:29] Hayate**
That was nothin'!
**[09:33] Naoki**
I barely survived that!
**[09:35] Suiko**
It's your turn.
**[09:37] Naoki**
Stand and draw!
**[09:40] Naoki**
Suiko Tatsunagi's got 4 damage...
**[09:42] Naoki**
Then I'll use this to take her
the rest of the way out!
**[09:46] Naoki**
I ride!
**[09:53] Naoki**
Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion!
**[09:57] Naoki**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[10:01] Naoki**
C'mere, Photon Bomber Wyvern!
**[10:03] Naoki**
I move Red River Dragoon to the front row,
**[10:07] Naoki**
and activate Photon Bomber Wyvern's skill!
**[10:09] Naoki**
+5000 power!
**[10:11] Naoki**
Also, Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion's skill!
**[10:14] Naoki**
An extra critical and +5000 power!
**[10:17] Naoki**
Finish her off, Vermillion--
**[10:19] Suiko**
You can't do that.
**[10:22] Suiko**
As you can see, I have two
rear-guard units in the front row.
**[10:30] Shingo**
That's so like Ishida!
**[10:32] Aichi**
But on the other hand, he can still
attack all the units in her front row.
**[10:36] Aichi**
You still have a chance, Naoki!
**[10:38] Naoki**
You think so, Aichi?!
**[10:41] Naoki**
All right!
**[10:42] Naoki**
Here I come!
**[10:45] Naoki**
Vermillion Thunder!
**[10:48] Suiko**
I need you, Sunny Smile Angel!
**[10:51] Angel**
I'll save you, my Vanguard!
**[10:53] Naoki**
Twin drive!
**[10:55] Naoki**
First check!
**[10:57] Naoki**
Second check!
**[10:59] Naoki**
I got a critical trigger!
**[11:01] Naoki**
I give the power to Red River,
**[11:03] Naoki**
and the extra critical to Thunderstorm!
**[11:05] Naoki**
All right!
**[11:11] Suiko**
Not bad.
**[11:15] Naoki**
Thunderstorm attacks your Vanguard!
**[11:18] Naoki**
+5000 power!
**[11:20] Suiko**
That won't go through!
**[11:21] Suiko**
Imaginary Gift! Protect!
**[11:25] Naoki**
I ain't givin' up yet!
**[11:27] Naoki**
Red River!
**[11:29] Red River**
Leave it to me, my Vanguard!
**[11:32] Suiko**
Again, that won't go through!
**[11:36] Naoki**
Photon Bomber Wyvern attacks your Vanguard!
**[11:40] Suiko**
No guard!
**[11:46] Shingo**
Yes!
**[11:47] Shingo**
He drove her to 5 damage again!
**[11:50] Naoki**
Now to finish you off!
**[11:52] Naoki**
Recklessness, do the honors!
**[11:54] Suiko**
It doesn't matter what you throw at me!
**[11:57] Suiko**
Sunny Smile!
**[12:03] Naoki**
I-It didn't go through!
**[12:06] Suiko**
Draw.
**[12:10] Suiko**
It appears that I'm the one
who has received the angels' blessing.
**[12:18] Suiko**
Come, Armaiti!
**[12:21] Suiko**
And Armaiti's skill activates.
**[12:25] Suiko**
I superior call Zerachiel from the Damage Zone!
**[12:30] Suiko**
I'll sing for you a song from the gospels.
**[12:34] Suiko**
I also call Marking Celestial, Arabhaki!
**[12:39] Suiko**
And now for the finale!
**[12:42] Suiko**
Zerachiel attacks your Vanguard!
**[12:46] Naoki**
No guard!
**[12:47] Suiko**
Twin drive!
**[12:49] Suiko**
First check!
**[12:51] Suiko**
Second check!
**[12:53] Suiko**
Critical trigger!
**[12:54] Suiko**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
**[12:57] Suiko**
Now, receive the Sound of the Celestials!
**[13:19] Naoki**
I lost...
**[13:23] Suiko**
That was a good fight. Thank you.
**[13:27] Aichi**
Naoki!
**[13:29] Shingo**
Does he seem...
**[13:30] Misaki**
...depressed?
**[13:31] All**
Oh!
**[13:36] Aichi**
Naoki, are you okay?
**[13:39] Naoki**
Um...
**[13:40] Naoki**
I could've blocked that
fifth damage if not for Zerachiel...
**[13:43] Naoki**
No, I should've stopped
the attack that dealt the fourth damage...
**[13:47] Naoki**
No, wait! That third damage...
**[13:50] Shingo**
We thought he was depressed,
but he's just doing a play-by-play review...
**[13:55] Kourin**
Ishida.
**[13:57] Kourin**
How was it, fighting Suiko?
**[14:00] Naoki**
Oh yeah, I got the picture doin' that.
**[14:03] Naoki**
She's an awesome fighter.
**[14:05] Naoki**
While I've still got a long ways to go...
**[14:08] Naoki**
Aichi!
**[14:10] Naoki**
I'm gonna beef up my deck,
**[14:12] Naoki**
so fight me later!
**[14:15] Aichi**
Sure!
**[14:21] Tetsu**
And so, in the exchange match
between Miyaji and Fukuhara,
**[14:25] Tetsu**
Fukuhara won, two to one.
**[14:27] Tetsu**
Bow to each other!
**[14:29] All**
Thank you for the match!
**[14:32] Rekka**
There you are!
**[14:34] Shingo**
That's my dear Rekka Tatsunagi from ULTRARARE!
**[14:38] Aichi**
"My dear"?
**[14:41] Takuto**
Well, well!
**[14:43] Takuto**
I see the two who had a fierce fight
in the Asia Circuit are both here.
**[14:48] Naoki**
Who's that guy?
**[14:50] Naoki**
ULTRARARE's manager or such?
**[14:52] Shingo**
Y-You didn't know?!
**[14:55] Shingo**
He happens to lead THE Tatsunagi Group!
**[14:58] Tetsu**
Takuto, it's good to see you.
**[15:02] Takuto**
I apologize for barging in.
**[15:05] Takuto**
I heard that Kourin would also be here today,
**[15:08] Takuto**
so I decided to stop by.
**[15:10] Takuto**
Besides...
**[15:11] Rekka**
You wanted to see Aichi, right?
**[15:14] Takuto**
Yes!
**[15:15] Aichi**
To see me?
**[15:30] Takuto**
Aichi Sendou...
**[15:32] Aichi**
Yes?
**[15:33] Takuto**
I appreciate all that you've done for Kourin.
**[15:36] Aichi**
I haven't done anything.
If it hadn't been for Kourin,
**[15:39] Aichi**
I doubt the Cardfight Club would've
been anything more than a dream.
**[15:43] Kourin**
Please, it wasn't that much...
**[15:45] Takuto**
My...
**[15:46] Takuto**
Kourin did all that, despite her lack of
assertiveness with ULTRARARE's activities?
**[15:50] Kourin**
Takuto!
**[15:52] Rekka**
Kou even seems to enjoy going to school!
**[15:55] Kourin**
Rekka!
**[16:01] Takuto**
Aichi, now that you have
made that dream come true,
**[16:04] Takuto**
do you have another goal in mind?
**[16:07] Aichi**
Oh? Uh...
**[16:09] Aichi**
For now, I'm just happy that
we managed to form the Cardfight Club.
**[16:14] Aichi**
Although, this is our entire membership...
**[16:17] Kourin**
Wh-Why that look?! Are you blaming me?
**[16:20] Aichi**
So for now...
**[16:22] Aichi**
...my wish is that this fun time
will continue for as long as possible.
**[16:28] Naoki**
The heck?! Where's your ambition?!
**[16:31] Shingo**
He's very modest.
**[16:33] Misaki**
But that's just how Aichi is.
**[16:36] Aichi**
S-Sorry...
**[16:38] Tetsu**
Sendou...
**[16:39] Tetsu**
While there's nothing wrong
with just having fun with the club,
**[16:42] Tetsu**
wouldn't having a goal help to encourage them?
**[16:46] Aichi**
A goal? Like what?
**[16:49] Tetsu**
I have an idea that would
be perfect for you guys.
**[16:52] Tetsu**
You've heard about the
Vanguard High School Championship, right?
**[16:57] Tetsu**
As of this year, the Tatsunagi Group will
sponsor the event, which also has a new name.
**[17:02] Tetsu**
That name is:
**[17:03] Tetsu**
Vanguard Koshien!
**[17:05] All**
"Vanguard Koshien"?!
**[17:08] Tetsu**
Fukuhara is a seeded school,
so our participation is a given.
**[17:13] Naoki**
Seriously?!
**[17:14] Tetsu**
Why don't you guys aim for it, too?
**[17:17] Aichi**
B-But we only just formed our club...
**[17:21] Naoki**
That don't matter! I say we go for it!
**[17:24] Shingo**
I agree! We'll show everyone how good we are!
**[17:29] Aichi**
What's your opinion?
**[17:32] Aichi**
Then, shall we also participate...
**[17:36] Aichi**
...in the Vanguard Koshien?!
**[17:37] Naoki**
Heck, yeah! I'm all fired up!
**[17:40] Shingo**
Ugh, I feel Ishida's sweaty heat from here...
**[17:44] Kourin**
He's simple to please.
**[17:48] Ren**
Aichi...
**[17:51] Ren**
If you'll be participating,
then maybe I will, too.
**[17:53] Aichi**
Ren!
**[17:55] Tetsu**
Sheesh, you and your whims...
**[17:57] Tetsu**
That's the same pattern
you followed with the Asia Circuit!
**[18:02] Naoki**
Don't just sit there!
**[18:03] Naoki**
Let's fight this seeded school!
**[18:06] Naoki**
Hey, dog-boy! You're fightin' me!
**[18:09] Kawanami**
Grrrrr!
**[18:11] Shingo**
I also have no intention of losing!
**[18:14] Asaka**
Misaki Tokura.
**[18:17] Asaka**
Would you do a fight with me?
**[18:20] Misaki**
Asaka Narumi. I was hoping you'd ask.
**[18:24] Ren**
Aichi!
**[18:25] Ren**
Come on, let's fight!
**[18:27] Ren**
We haven't fought each other
since the Asia Circuit.
**[18:31] Aichi**
Sure, I'd love to.
**[18:33] Takuto**
Aichi Sendou!
**[18:35] Takuto**
Tetsu has told me about your PSYqualia power.
**[18:39] Takuto**
I'm also quite interested in it.
**[18:44] Ren**
That's enough.
**[18:46] Ren**
Stop looking at Aichi like he's a guinea pig.
**[18:49] Aichi**
Ren...
**[18:51] Ren**
Not that I have no interest in my own powers,
**[18:54] Ren**
but those inquisitive eyes
of yours make me uneasy.
**[18:58] Ren**
The same for you, Tetsu.
**[19:00] Tetsu**
Forgive me.
**[19:02] Ren**
Now then, let's go, Aichi.
**[19:04] Takuto**
Well then, shall we take our leave?
**[19:07] Takuto**
We have work to do.
**[19:13] Takuto**
Kourin!
**[19:21] Ren**
Takuto Tatsunagi...
**[19:24] Ren**
...gives us a lot of support,
**[19:26] Ren**
but he sort of rubs me the wrong way.
**[19:28] Aichi**
Huh?
**[19:33] Naoki**
Here I come!
**[19:34] Naoki**
Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion
attacks your Vanguard!
**[19:41] Ren**
They're already into their fights.
**[19:43] Aichi**
Yeah.
**[19:44] Ren**
Well then, let's join them.
**[19:47] Aichi**
Yes!
**[19:49] Ren**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[19:49] Aichi**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[20:00] Tetsu**
Takuto, thank you for all your help today.
**[20:04] Takuto**
It was nothing.
**[20:05] Takuto**
But it may be difficult to prepare a venue
where those two can demonstrate their powers.
**[20:11] Tetsu**
That's true, but...
**[20:13] Tetsu**
...I think I know of a Cardfighter
who can draw those powers out.
**[20:18] Takuto**
Oh...!
**[20:19] Tetsu**
"Hiding in plain sight," as it were.
**[20:22] Tetsu**
There's one fighter at Fukuhara
who hasn't joined the Cardfight Club.
**[20:27] Takuto**
A fighter who isn't a member?
**[20:30] Takuto**
What's this fighter's name?
**[20:33] Ibuki**
That's 6 damage. I win.
**[20:39] Ibuki**
So disappointing... I thought
Fukuhara would be tougher than this.
**[20:44] Naoki**
That was great!
**[20:46] Naoki**
I had tons of fights today!
**[20:49] Shingo**
But it's no wonder that Fukuhara won
the last Vanguard High School Championship.
**[20:53] Naoki**
And outta all them guys,
Ren Suzugamori's in a class by himself.
**[20:57] Aichi**
Yeah, Ren is one of a kind.
**[21:00] Naoki**
Oh yeah, didn't you
beat 'im in the Asia Circuit?
**[21:05] Aichi**
But today, each of us beat the other once.
**[21:08] Shingo**
So you tied with each other today?
**[21:10] Naoki**
Come to think of it, Blaster Dark
looks a lot like that one card you've got.
**[21:14] Aichi**
Yeah. My card, Blaster Blade,
and Blaster Dark are--
**[21:18] Ibuki**
Hey! You!
**[21:22] Ibuki**
Did you just say, "Blaster Blade"?
**[21:26] Aichi**
Huh? Who are you?
**[21:28] Ibuki**
Who I am doesn't matter!
**[21:29] Ibuki**
Do you actually have Blaster Blade?
**[23:10] Shingo**
After handily beating Fukuhara High,
last year's champion,
**[23:14] Shingo**
how do you feel, Ishida of Miyaji Academy...?
**[23:16] Naoki**
All I cared 'bout was the team,
**[23:19] Naoki**
so stuff my personal victory.
I'm just glad our team won!
**[23:22] Shingo**
That didn't sound like you at all, Ishida!
**[23:24] Shingo**
And if anyone should be
doing an interview, it's Sendou!
**[23:27] Naoki**
I just wanted to try it once!
**[23:30] Shingo**
If you have time for this nonsense,
**[23:31] Shingo**
use it to prepare your deck
for the Vanguard Koshien instead!
**[23:34] Naoki**
Just one more time! Can I? Please?

Vanguard Koshien!
**[00:02] All**
"Vanguard Koshien"?!
**[00:05] Tetsu**
Fukuhara is a seeded school,
so our participation is a given.
**[00:10] Naoki**
I say we go for it!
**[00:11] Shingo**
I agree! We'll show everyone how good we are!
**[00:16] Aichi**
What's your opinion?
**[00:19] Aichi**
Then, shall we also participate...
**[00:23] Aichi**
...in the Vanguard Koshien?!
**[00:29] ULTRARARE**
Stand up, Vanguard Koshien!
**[00:32] Rekka**
Our Vanguard high school championship
is about to be reborn, in a brand-new guise!
**[00:37] Kourin**
The qualifying matches
will soon be held all across Japan!
**[00:41] Suiko**
High schools are to compete with other
in team fights that will test friendships!
**[00:45] ULTRARARE**
We await your participation!

C'mon, at least join our Cardfight Club
to do the Vanguard Koshien!
**[01:05] Morikawa**
We need your help so that
Kourin will give me a trophy,
**[01:09] Morikawa**
just like she did for Aichi...
**[01:12] Miwa**
That's why you want him?
**[01:14] Miwa**
Not that I care, but you should
be more polite with your elders,
**[01:17] Miwa**
Morikawa of the Cardfight Club.
**[01:19] Morikawa**
Please wait, Kai!
**[01:23] Kai**
You'll be taking part in the Vanguard Koshien?
**[01:26] Aichi**
Yeah!
**[01:27] Kai**
I see.
**[01:29] Aichi**
Wait, you too, Kai?
**[01:31] Morikawa**
You'd assume he was, right?
**[01:34] Morikawa**
But he shot me down,
even after I asked nicely.
**[01:38] Aichi**
So you're not?
**[01:40] Kai**
That's enough chitchat.
**[01:43] Kai**
Ride The Vanguard!
**[01:45] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord!
**[01:53] Kai**
Let's go!
**[02:06] Aichi**
I'm now a student at Miyaji Academy,
**[02:09] Aichi**
and have decided to start a Cardfight Club.
**[02:14] Aichi**
I've got to imagine it!
**[02:17] Aichi**
I'm sure my imagination will take shape!
***SIGN*** Image 34 Another Vanguard
**[03:57] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord,

Aermo's skill activates. +3000 power.
**[04:06] Aichi**
I guard with Flogal and
Bringer of Good Luck, Epona!
**[04:11] Aichi**
On top of that, I intercept with Blaster Blade!
**[04:17] Naoki**
Whoa, Aichi's seriously fired up.
**[04:20] Kamui**
Well, but isn't this a special case?
**[04:22] Kamui**
See, for Brother Aichi,
Kai is like his vanguard.
**[04:29] Naoki**
So he's Aichi's vanguard...
**[04:32] Kamui**
Yeah, but...
**[04:33] Kamui**
Everyone else who comes to this shop
**[04:36] Kamui**
probably thinks of Aichi as their vanguard.
**[04:40] Kamui**
Including me, of course.
**[04:42] Naoki**
Ya don't say. So everyone else's like me.

I'm looking forward to the Vanguard Koshien.
**[04:57] Kai**
Is something wrong, Aichi?
**[05:00] Aichi**
Well...
**[05:01] Aichi**
The other day, our Cardfight Club
visited Fukuhara High School...
**[05:05] Miwa**
Fukuhara? Where Ren goes?
**[05:08] Aichi**
Right.
**[05:09] Kai**
Is Ren doing well?
**[05:11] Aichi**
Yeah.
**[05:12] Aichi**
But afterwards...
**[05:15] Aichi**
...we encountered someone
who was very interested in Blaster Blade.
**[05:19] Kouji**
Do you actually have Blaster Blade?
**[05:23] Aichi**
Huh?
**[05:26] Kouji**
Well? Do you?!
**[05:28] Aichi**
Y-Yes. I have it.
**[05:34] Kouji**
This takes me back...
**[05:38] Kouji**
And where did you get this card?
**[05:41] Aichi**
Um, er... a f-friend gave it to me.
**[05:45] Kouji**
Your wimpiness makes me sick.
**[05:52] Aichi**
S-Sorry...
**[05:53] Naoki**
Hey! What're you insultin' him for?!
**[05:56] Aichi**
N-Naoki!
**[05:57] Kouji**
I'm amazed you can stand
the company of a milksop like him.
**[06:01] Naoki**
No more insulting Aichi!
**[06:06] Aichi**
A-Are you okay, Naoki?
**[06:08] Naoki**
Ow...
**[06:10] Aichi**
You shouldn't hit people
over something so minor.
**[06:13] Naoki**
"So minor"?!
**[06:16] Misaki**
He may have been wrong to resort to violence.
**[06:19] Misaki**
But I also won't just stand here and
let you badmouth one of my teammates!
**[06:23] Shingo**
Anyone who dares to
insult Sendou will face my wrath!
**[06:26] Kouji**
Oh?
**[06:27] Kouji**
Impressive, you have even more
teammates standing up for you.
**[06:31] Kouji**
Thank you for showing me this.
**[06:35] Aichi**
Oh, no problem.
**[06:37] Kouji**
I apologize for insulting you.
**[06:40] Naoki**
Hold it!
**[06:42] Naoki**
Tell us who you are!
**[06:44] Shingo**
I-I believe you're supposed to give
your name first in these situations...
**[06:48] Naoki**
Oh, right...
**[06:49] Naoki**
I'm Naoki Ishida!
**[06:52] Kouji**
Kouji Ibuki.
**[06:55] Kai**
Kouji Ibuki?!
**[06:57] Aichi**
Huh?
**[06:58] Miwa**
H-Hey, Kai. Wasn't Ibuki...?
**[07:02] Aichi**
Kai? Do you and Miwa know him?
**[07:04] Kai**
Yeah.
**[07:06] Kai**
Ibuki is the vanguard for both of us!
**[07:15] Kouji**
This feels so nostalgic...
**[07:17] Tetsu**
How long do you intend to follow me?
**[07:20] Suiko**
I just want a private lesson
with you, Coach Tetsu,
**[07:23] Suiko**
so I can become even stronger.
**[07:25] Tetsu**
You have admirable spirit for an idol, but...
**[07:32] Tetsu**
Kouji Ibuki, I presume?
**[07:34] Kouji**
And you are?
**[07:37] Tetsu**
I'm Tetsu Shinjou.
**[07:39] Tetsu**
I'm the coach of Fukuhara High's Vanguard Club.
**[07:43] Kouji**
I've beaten all the underlings,
**[07:46] Kouji**
which means the upper echelon appears?
**[07:49] Kouji**
I'll tell you one thing.
**[07:51] Kouji**
If you're going to shadow someone,
do a better job of it.
**[07:58] Tetsu**
I had the best of our former
Team Asteroid members tailing you.
**[08:04] Kouji**
I've never heard of Team Asteroid.
**[08:07] Kouji**
I only started playing Vanguard recently.
**[08:10] Tetsu**
Just recently?!
**[08:13] Kouji**
More or less.
**[08:14] Kouji**
While I'd played it a bit before,
I'm just now getting back in the game.
**[08:18] Kouji**
That's all I have to say, so can I go?
**[08:22] Tetsu**
Wait!
**[08:26] Tetsu**
I'm not done talking to you.
**[08:32] Tetsu**
Kishida.
**[08:33] Kishida**
Yes?
**[08:33] Tetsu**
What happened to you?
**[08:41] Kishida**
What are these for?
**[08:45] Tetsu**
Not again?
**[08:48] Tetsu**
Why has every member you've fought
lost all interest in Vanguard?
**[08:54] Kouji**
Beats me.
**[08:56] Tetsu**
Then I'll get to the
bottom of this by fighting you!
**[09:04] Tetsu**
Two Vanguard fighters meet by chance.
**[09:07] Tetsu**
For them to part without a fight is unheard of.
**[09:10] Kouji**
Is that right?
**[09:11] Kouji**
This is how it has to go?
**[09:13] Kouji**
Fine, then. Let's have a Vanguard fight.
**[09:39] Tetsu**
Kouji Ibuki...
**[09:41] Tetsu**
Is he a fighter who'd prove a good
challenge for our captain, Ren Suzugamori?
**[09:45] Kouji**
To think I'd be fighting here again...
**[09:50] Kouji**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[09:50] Tetsu**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[09:54] Tetsu**
I ride!
**[09:58] Tetsu**
Vermillion Gatekeeper!
**[10:01] Kouji**
I ride!
**[10:04] Kouji**
Sprout Deletor, Luchi.
**[10:11] Tetsu**
What?
**[10:12] Tetsu**
Sprout Deletor, Luchi?
**[10:14] Tetsu**
I don't recognize that unit.
**[10:51] Miwa**
You regret turning them down
for the Vanguard Koshien, don't you?
**[10:55] Kai**
N-No...
**[10:56] Miwa**
You can't hide it from me!
**[10:58] Miwa**
So then, how are you gonna
humble yourself before Morikawa?
**[11:03] Kai**
Say, Miwa...
**[11:06] Miwa**
Don't try changing the subject!
**[11:08] Kai**
What happened to Ibuki after I moved?
**[11:11] Miwa**
Huh?
**[11:13] Miwa**
That's strange. He usually
hates talking about the past.
**[11:18] Miwa**
Well, the thing about Ibuki...
**[11:21] Kai**
What's wrong?
**[11:23] Miwa**
I can't remember what happened!
**[11:26] Kai**
Some friend you are.
**[11:27] Miwa**
H-Hey, I got really depressed
after you moved away suddenly!
**[11:31] Miwa**
Besides, Ibuki and I went
to different middle schools.
**[11:35] Miwa**
And you're the last guy who gets to
criticize someone for being a crummy friend.
**[11:40] Miwa**
Uh, hold on!
**[11:41] Miwa**
I do remember that, from the time Ibuki
taught us Vanguard until you moved away,
**[11:47] Miwa**
we all had a blast with it!
**[11:51] Kai**
That's right.
**[11:52] Kai**
Ibuki's the one who
taught us how to play Vanguard.
**[12:08] Young Miwa**
Wake up, Kai!
**[12:10] Young Miwa**
Kai!
**[12:11] Young Miwa**
Hey, come on!
**[12:14] Young Kai**
Miwa...?
**[12:15] Young Miwa**
You're napping here again?
**[12:18] Young Kai**
Well, I've got nothing better to do.
**[12:20] Young Miwa**
What about that video game?
**[12:22] Young Kai**
I got bored. It felt more like work.
**[12:25] Young Kai**
Who's the skinny kid?
**[12:27] Young Miwa**
Huh?
**[12:28] Young Miwa**
He's Ibuki, from our class! Kouji Ibuki!
**[12:32] Young Kai**
From our class?
**[12:34] Young Kai**
S-Sorry. I have a bad memory.
**[12:37] Young Kouji**
Th-That's okay. I don't really stand out.
**[12:41] Young Miwa**
Ibuki said he'd teach me a new game,
**[12:44] Young Miwa**
so I wanted you in on it, too.
**[12:46] Young Kai**
A new game?
**[12:50] Young Kai**
It's called "Vanguard," huh?
**[12:53] Young Kouji**
W-Well, let's try an actual game.
**[12:57] Young Kai**
Sure.
**[12:58] Young Kouji**
Stand up the Vanguard!
**[13:01] Young Kai**
S-Stand up the Vanguard!
**[13:07] Young Kai**
I haven't won once!
**[13:09] Young Kouji**
S-Sorry!
**[13:11] Young Kouji**
I felt so happy, that I got carried away...
**[13:14] Young Kai**
I'm leaving!
**[13:15] Young Kouji**
Huh?
**[13:16] Young Kai**
I can't win with some borrowed deck.
**[13:21] Young Kouji**
Wh-What should I do?
It's my fault for not letting him win...
**[13:26] Young Miwa**
Nah, you did fine, Ibuki.
**[13:28] Young Kouji**
B-But, Miwa...
**[13:29] Young Miwa**
Don't worry! It'll work out.
**[13:32] Young Kouji**
Huh?
**[13:34] Young Miwa**
Now teach me to play!
**[13:45] Young Kai**
None of these really grab me...
**[13:49] Young Kai**
Huh?
**[13:51] Young Kai**
What's this?
**[13:57] Young Kai**
This is it!
**[13:59] Young Kai**
My imagination just exploded!
**[14:01] Young Kai**
I'll show him!
**[14:06] Young Kai**
Ibuki!
**[14:09] Young Kai**
Let's have a Vanguard fight!
**[14:12] Young Miwa**
Told you.
**[14:15] Young Kouji**
Sure!
**[14:19] The Two**
Stand up the Vanguard!
**[14:22] Young Kai**
I ride Glyme!
**[14:26] Young Kouji**
Glyme...
**[14:28] Young Kouji**
Royal Paladin, huh?
**[14:29] Young Kai**
Yeah.
**[14:31] Young Kai**
Vanguard is so much fun!
**[14:38] Young Kai**
All the different cards stir my imagination,
**[14:40] Young Kai**
making their images pop out,
one right after the other.
**[14:43] Young Kai**
But this is the card that really
made my imagination explode.
**[14:47] Young Kai**
Ride the Vanguard!
**[15:01] Young Miwa**
What's wrong, Ibuki?
**[15:02] Young Kouji**
Th-That's an incredibly rare card!
**[15:05] Young Miwa**
Huh...
**[15:08] Young Kai**
Here I come!
**[15:12] Young Kouji**
6 damage...
**[15:14] Young Kouji**
I lost.
**[15:16] Young Kai**
All right!
**[15:17] Young Miwa**
You did it, Kai!
**[15:19] Young Miwa**
I'm up next.
**[15:21] Young Kai**
Hold on. I wanna play Ibuki again.
**[15:23] Young Miwa**
What the hey?!
**[15:25] Young Kai**
C'mon, lemme play him again!
**[15:25] Young Miwa**
No, me! I'm playing next!
**[15:29] Young Kouji**
Kai, Miwa...
**[15:33] Young Kouji**
Thank you. I didn't know
Vanguard could be this much fun.
**[15:37] Young Miwa**
What're you talking about, Ibuki?!
**[15:39] Young Miwa**
You kept something this fun
all to yourself all this time!
**[15:42] Young Kai**
Besides, we're the ones
who should be grateful. So, thanks.
**[15:47] Young Kouji**
It's so nice getting to introduce
something I love to other people.
**[15:53] Miwa**
I'm glad Ibuki kept
playing Vanguard after that.
**[15:56] Kai**
Me too.
**[15:58] Kai**
But...
**[15:59] Miwa**
But what?
**[16:01] Kai**
After talking with Aichi's team...
**[16:03] Kai**
The way they described Ibuki has me concerned.
**[16:06] Kouji**
My turn is over.
**[16:10] Tetsu**
Ferment Deletor, Gaen...
**[16:13] Tetsu**
Bloating Deletor, Gio...
**[16:15] Tetsu**
Swift Deletor, Geali...
**[16:18] Tetsu**
I've never seen any of these units before.
**[16:20] Tetsu**
What exactly is a "Deletor"?
**[16:23] Kouji**
What's wrong?
**[16:27] Tetsu**
I ride!
**[16:28] Tetsu**
King of Masks, Dantarian!
**[16:32] Tetsu**
Imaginary Gift! Protect!
**[16:35] Tetsu**
I call!
**[16:37] Tetsu**
Gwynn the Ripper!
**[16:41] Tetsu**
Skill activates!
**[16:42] Tetsu**
Soul Charge!
**[16:46] Tetsu**
Doreen the Thruster's skill activates!
**[16:50] Tetsu**
I call one more Gwynn unit!
**[16:57] Tetsu**
Soul Charge!
**[17:01] Kouji**
Well, well...
**[17:03] Tetsu**
That's not all!
**[17:04] Tetsu**
Dantarian's skill activates!
**[17:10] Tetsu**
Let's get 'em, guys!
**[17:16] Tetsu**
Next is my turn!
**[17:19] Kouji**
Asteroid Wolf.
**[17:25] Kouji**
Gio.
**[17:32] Gwynn**
I'll put you out of your misery!
**[17:41] Tetsu**
Is that your best?
**[17:42] Tetsu**
This level of play wouldn't hold any interest
**[17:45] Tetsu**
for Ren Suzugamori,
the captain of our Vanguard Club.
**[17:49] Kouji**
What's this?
**[17:50] Kouji**
You're fighting for someone else's sake?
**[17:54] Kouji**
How stupid can you be?
**[17:56] Kouji**
Can you really have a serious showdown
when you're not fighting for yourself?
**[18:00] Tetsu**
PSYqualia?!
**[18:02] Kouji**
I won't lose to someone
who's only fighting for a friend.
**[18:06] Kouji**
Ride The Vanguard!
**[18:15] Kouji**
Docking Deletor, Greion!
**[18:19] Tetsu**
Another Deletor?!
**[18:22] Kouji**
Counterblast!
**[18:24] Kouji**
Its skill activates!
**[18:27] Tetsu**
What?!
**[18:31] Tetsu**
Dantarian!
**[18:32] Tetsu**
I-It can't be!
**[18:34] Tetsu**
The unit I was riding got ripped away?!
**[18:37] Kouji**
I delete Dantarian.
**[18:45] Tetsu**
"Delete"?!
**[18:47] Kouji**
That's right. This one eradicates Vanguards.
**[18:51] Kouji**
It's a super-powered being from
the planet Cray, as well as my avatar!
**[18:55] Kouji**
Docking Deletor, Greion!
**[19:11] Tetsu**
My Vanguard...
**[19:13] Kouji**
That's right.
**[19:15] Kouji**
A deleted Vanguard loses all
of its skills and has zero power.
**[19:20] Kouji**
Right now, you're just a feeble astral body.
**[19:29] Tetsu**
I have a Protect in hand,
**[19:30] Tetsu**
but I still have only 3 damage.
**[19:34] Tetsu**
No guard!
**[19:36] Kouji**
That takes nerve!
**[19:38] Kouji**
However...
**[19:42] Kouji**
Twin drive.
**[19:43] Kouji**
First check.
**[19:45] Kouji**
Critical trigger.
**[19:47] Kouji**
Second check.
**[19:50] Tetsu**
A double critical?!
**[19:52] Kouji**
Once I erase you, it'll all be over.
**[19:54] Kouji**
Delete End!
**[20:06] Tetsu**
I lost...
**[20:22] Kouji**
That was a seriously lame and boring fight.
**[20:26] Kouji**
But maybe now I'll be free
of your annoying club invitations?
**[20:32] Kouji**
If so, it was worth it.
**[20:34] Tetsu**
Kouji Ibuki...
**[20:36] Tetsu**
Just what are those Deletor units of yours?
**[20:40] Kouji**
I don't know just what these units are.
**[20:44] Kouji**
And I don't care.
**[20:46] Kouji**
But thanks to these Deletors,
I'm now a Vanguard fighter again.
**[20:54] Kouji**
Even though I hated Vanguard with a passion...
**[21:10] Suiko**
Coach Tetsu!
**[21:12] Suiko**
Are you okay?
**[21:16] Suiko**
Coach Tetsu...
**[21:19] Tetsu**
My connection with the cards has been severed.
**[21:23] Suiko**
Huh?
**[23:11] Suiko**
Wait, what did you do to Coach Tetsu?
**[23:14] Kouji**
And you are?
**[23:15] Suiko**
Oh my, don't you recognize me?
**[23:18] Kouji**
Why should I? You're awfully conceited.
**[23:21] Suiko**
Well, I do appear on TV quite a bit.
**[23:24] Kouji**
I don't watch TV.
**[23:25] Suiko**
Oh, really? That's too bad.
**[23:26] Kouji**
May I ask one question?
**[23:27] Suiko**
What is it?
**[23:28] Kouji**
Are you sure you should be
wearing a sailor uniform?
**[23:31] Suiko**
Not... not you, too?!
**[23:34] Suiko**
Don't tell me this will be a running gag!

**[00:04] ULTRARARE**
Stand up, Vanguard Koshien!
**[00:06] Rekka**
Our Vanguard high school championship
is about to be reborn, in a brand-new guise!
**[00:11] Kourin**
The qualifying matches
will soon be held all across Japan!
**[00:15] Suiko**
High schools are to compete with each other
in team fights that will test friendships!
**[00:19] ULTRARARE**
We await your participation!
**[00:25] Emi**
I see this ad on TV a lot.
**[00:27] Aichi**
Good morning, Emi.
**[00:28] Emi**
Good morning.
**[00:30] Emi**
Aren't you and your friends
competing in the Vanguard Koshien?
**[00:33] Aichi**
Yeah.
**[00:34] Emi**
I wish I could...
**[00:36] Aichi**
Well, it's a high school tournament.
**[00:38] Emi**
So lucky...
**[00:40] Emi**
All of the Cardfight Club members,
fighting together as they strive for victory...
**[00:47] Aichi**
All of the Cardfight Club, huh...
**[00:51] Kourin**
What do you think you're doing?
**[00:53] Aichi**
Well, you see...
**[00:54] Aichi**
This school doesn't have a Cardfight club...
**[00:57] Kourin**
That sounds tough.
**[00:59] Aichi**
It is.
**[01:00] Aichi**
According to the rules,
**[01:02] Aichi**
if I can't get at least five members,
**[01:04] Aichi**
the Student Council
won't recognize it as a club.
**[01:07] Kourin**
So? How many do you have so far?
**[01:09] Aichi**
It's still just me.
**[01:11] Kourin**
Fine.
**[01:12] Kourin**
In that case, I'll join the Cardfight Club.
**[01:15] Aichi**
Huh?
**[01:16] Kourin**
I'll be your first member!
**[01:20] Aichi**
The Miyaji Academy Cardfight Club
began with Kourin's words that day.
**[01:26] Emi**
Huh? But wait...
**[01:28] Emi**
Can Kourin even participate as a player?
**[01:32] Aichi**
Huh?
**[01:32] Emi**
ULTRARARE is an official supporter
of the Vanguard Koshien, right?
**[01:37] ULTRARARE**
We'll do our utmost to support you!
***SIGN*** Vanguard Koshien
**[01:41] Emi**
You'd think she'd be too busy...
**[01:47] Aichi**
I'm now a student at Miyaji Academy,
**[01:50] Aichi**
and have decided to start a Cardfight Club.
**[01:55] Aichi**
I've got to imagine it!
**[01:58] Aichi**
I'm sure my imagination will take shape!
***SIGN*** Image 35 Concert Master, Takuto
**[03:44] Suiko**
You look tired.
**[03:48] Rekka**
Well, of course.
**[03:49] Rekka**
Not only is Kou busy with
our Vanguard Koshien work,
**[03:53] Rekka**
she's also in a Cardfight club.
**[03:55] Suiko**
Oh? But I'm a member
of a Cardfight club myself.
**[03:59] Rekka**
For you, Su, that's a "duty."
**[04:02] Rekka**
But it's not for Kou...
**[04:03] Kourin**
Huh?
**[04:05] Suiko**
Why don't you skip school today?
**[04:07] Kourin**
Forget it!
**[04:08] Kourin**
I don't have work, so I definitely have to go!
**[04:11] Kourin**
That's the way it is with school!
**[04:15] Kourin**
That's what Takuto said!
**[04:22] Ushimaru**
I'm surprised but relieved
that you're enjoying school.
**[04:29] Kourin**
Enjoying it, huh?
**[04:41] Student**
Good morning!
**[04:45] Kourin**
G-Good morning, everyone.
**[04:48] StudentA**
I saw the Vanguard Koshien commercial!
**[04:50] StudentA**
You gave off such an idol vibe!
**[04:52] StudentB**
I wanna try out for the Cardfight Club again!
**[04:52] Kourin**
Thank you!
**[04:58] Aichi**
Kourin...
**[05:00] Ushimaru**
Mr. Sendou.
**[05:02] Ushimaru**
Good morning.
**[05:03] Aichi**
G-Good morning.
**[05:06] Aichi**
You're, um...
**[05:07] Ushimaru**
I'm employed by the Tatsunagi family
as Kourin's assistant.
**[05:12] Ushimaru**
My name is Ushimaru.
**[05:13] Aichi**
Ms. Ushimaru...
**[05:16] Ushimaru**
Kourin is exhausted from working hard lately.
**[05:22] Ushimaru**
Mr. Sendou, Kourin has placed her trust
in you, the captain of the Cardfight Club.
**[05:27] Ushimaru**
Please take good care of her.
**[05:31] Suiko**
I ask the same of you.
**[05:32] Rekka**
Me too!
**[05:35] Aichi**
O-Of course!
**[05:40] Aichi**
Kourin really is busy...
**[05:49] Student**
You're so cute!
**[05:51] Kourin**
Am I? Thank you.
**[05:54] Shingo**
Good morning, Sendou!
**[05:56] Aichi**
Good morning.
**[05:58] Aichi**
Kourin is surrounded.
**[06:01] Shingo**
That she is...
**[06:02] Aichi**
She's exhausted, so we need
to let her take it easy at school.
**[06:06] Shingo**
You're as kind as ever!
**[06:08] Shingo**
But what to do here...
**[06:11] StudentA**
The Vanguard Koshien
is a huge tournament, right?
**[06:14] StudentB**
Will you fight, despite working there?
**[06:17] Shingo**
It doesn't look like
Kourin will get a chance to rest.
**[06:21] Aichi**
E-Excuse me, everyone!
**[06:24] Aichi**
E-Excuse me...
**[06:27] Shingo**
I-I'll try, too!
**[06:31] Naoki**
Shaddup, you dweebs!
**[06:34] Naoki**
Quit makin' a racket over there.
**[06:37] Naoki**
Break it up!
**[06:38] Naoki**
Get lost!
**[06:41] Naoki**
Hey.
**[06:41] Kourin**
Good morning, Naoki.
**[06:43] Naoki**
What's with them?
**[06:45] Shingo**
Not bad for Ishida...
**[06:47] Aichi**
Good job.
**[06:48] Aichi**
Good morning, Naoki and Kourin.
**[06:51] Naoki**
Hey, Aichi and Shingo.
**[06:53] Shingo**
Good morning.
**[06:56] Shingo**
He has a scary face,
**[06:57] Shingo**
and goes off on people like a mad dog,
**[06:59] Shingo**
but it is true that he's dependable.
**[07:02] Shingo**
His Vanguard ability is
nothing to sneeze at, either.
**[07:06] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[07:10] Naoki**
First...
**[07:12] Naoki**
I ride!
**[07:13] Aichi**
Just a moment, Ishida.
**[07:16] Aichi**
You forgot to draw first.
**[07:18] Naoki**
Wha...?!
**[07:20] Shingo**
At first, I was surprised by
how much of a beginner he was.
**[07:20] Naoki**
I meant to do that!
**[07:22] Naoki**
I thought it'd help break the ice.
**[07:25] Naoki**
I ride!
**[07:26] Naoki**
Great Composure Dragon!
**[07:29] Kourin**
You're a beginner, aren't you?
**[07:32] Kourin**
Do you know the true worth of that unit?
**[07:36] Naoki**
Yeah, I know its worth.
**[07:38] Naoki**
It's what's gonna
break me outta my boring life!
**[07:43] Naoki**
Recklessness Dragon!
**[07:45] Naoki**
Its skill activates! Counterblast!
**[07:50] Naoki**
I bind Sagramore!
**[07:53] Misaki**
Its skill is simple, but strong.
**[07:56] Misaki**
Pros like that unit.
**[07:58] Kourin**
I won't let Great Composure walk all over me!
**[08:02] Kourin**
One blow will end this!
**[08:07] Shingo**
That brings Naoki Ishida to 5 damage.
**[08:12] Gareth**
Now!
**[08:14] Naoki**
Zephyr Kid, Hayate!
**[08:17] Naoki**
Lizard Soldier, Riki!
**[08:21] Beaumains**
The final blow!
**[08:24] Naoki**
I'm countin' on you!
**[08:25] Naoki**
Hayate! Thunderstorm Dragoon!
**[08:30] Aichi**
He blocked it!
**[08:32] Naoki**
Aichi...
**[08:35] Naoki**
Vanguard's...
**[08:37] Naoki**
...so much fun!
**[08:41] Aichi**
Yeah!
**[08:43] Naoki**
C'mere!
**[08:44] Naoki**
Lizard Soldier, Riki!
**[08:47] Naoki**
Riki's skill activates!
**[08:51] Naoki**
The opponent's front row and back row switch!
**[08:55] Shingo**
Her front row's opened up!
**[08:57] Misaki**
Now Great Composure will power up.
**[09:04] Naoki**
Here we go!
**[09:11] Kourin**
Halo Shield, Mark!
**[09:13] Kourin**
Perfect guard!
**[09:15] Naoki**
Drive check!
**[09:16] Naoki**
I got a front trigger!
**[09:20] Naoki**
Finish her off, Recklessness Dragon!
**[09:29] Naoki**
What're you grinnin' for?
**[09:32] Shingo**
N-Nothing!
**[09:36] Naoki**
What's with him?
**[09:48] Boy**
You members of ULTRARARE
aren't actually sisters, are you?
**[09:52] Kourin**
No...
**[09:53] Girl**
Really? You're not?!
**[09:53] Shingo**
It's no wonder that her assistant is worried.
**[09:57] Naoki**
She's gotta deal with that
even during our free period.
**[10:00] Shingo**
What a nuisance.
**[10:03] Aichi**
Say, Naoki and Shingo...
**[10:06] Naoki**
Huh?
**[10:06] Shingo**
Yes?
**[10:08] Aichi**
I'd like you two to help me.
**[10:10] Aichi**
Listen...
**[10:13] Naoki**
All right! Let's give it a shot!
**[10:16] Shingo**
You can leave it to us!
**[10:20] Aichi**
I'm counting on you.
**[10:32] Student**
What do you do in the Cardfight Club?
**[10:35] Kourin**
It's a Cardfight Club,
so we have Cardfights...
**[10:39] Shingo**
Pardon me!
**[10:41] Shingo**
All of you who are interested in Vanguard!
**[10:44] Shingo**
The Cardfight Club,
of which Kourin is a member,
**[10:47] Shingo**
will take the liberty
of using this lunch break...
***SIGN*** What is Vanguard?!
**[10:51] Shingo**
...to hold a Vanguard seminar!
**[10:55] Kourin**
What on earth?
**[10:59] Aichi**
Kourin, come with me.
***SIGN*** What is Vanguard?! What is Vanguard Koshien?! What is ULTRARARE?!
**[11:02] Shingo**
First of all, Vanguard is...
**[11:05] Student**
Why isn't Kourin explaining it?!
**[11:07] Naoki**
That ain't the idol's job!
**[11:10] Students**
Awww...
**[11:12] Naoki**
This kinda job's for us low-level drones.
**[11:14] Shingo**
Precisely, everyone. It's for us drones...
**[11:18] Shingo**
Who are you calling a drone?!
**[11:20] Naoki**
Huh? You finally noticed?
**[11:22] Kourin**
What is it, Aichi?
**[11:24] Aichi**
Just come with me!
**[11:28] Shingo**
In any case, listen!
**[11:30] Shingo**
First of all, Vanguard is a card game
**[11:33] Shingo**
that takes place on the fictional planet Cray,
a world with a strong resemblance to Earth.
**[11:38] Shingo**
Since it's an imaginary place,
**[11:40] Shigo**
we can't visit the planet Cray ourselves.
**[11:43] Shingo**
To get there, you have to
become a spirit: a frail astral body.
**[11:48] Shingo**
It's important that
you imagine yourself being there.
**[11:53] Student**
Imagine?
**[11:55] Shingo**
Yes! Imagine it!
**[11:56] Shingo**
It's no exaggeration for me to say that
that will determine a Vanguard's strength!
**[12:01] Naoki**
Talkin' like a big shot...
**[12:03] Naoki**
But his Vanguard knowledge's the real deal.
**[12:07] Naoki**
If it weren't...
**[12:08] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[12:12] Shingo**
I ride!
**[12:15] Shingo**
Covert Demonic Dragon, Magatsu Storm!
**[12:19] Naoki**
...his fight with me
wouldn't have ended like that.
**[12:22] Naoki**
With a boost from Red River Dragoon,
Recklessness Dragon'll finish you off!
**[12:34] Shingo**
The great Sendou may be
trying to form a Cardfight Club,
**[12:38] Shingo**
but I refuse to stand by when
a mad dog like you becomes a member!
**[12:42] Shingo**
Chigasumi attacks your Vanguard!
**[12:44] Shingo**
Its skill activates!
**[12:46] Naoki**
Hayate!
**[12:51] Naoki**
Damage check!
**[12:53] Naoki**
All right! I got a front trigger!
**[12:58] Shingo**
Ninja Art, Evil Eye Prison!
**[13:03] Naoki**
It's no use!
**[13:04] Naoki**
Right now, Vermillion's got 22,000 power!
**[13:07] Naoki**
Voidmaster's 15,000
ain't enough to get through!
**[13:11] Shingo**
I realize that.
**[13:13] Shingo**
With Voidmaster’s post-battle skill,
**[13:16] Shingo**
I can return one rear-guard unit
to my hand by using a Counterblast.
**[13:20] Shingo**
That unit is Chigasumi.
**[13:22] Shingo**
Magatsu Storm's skill activates!
**[13:25] Naoki**
What?!
**[13:26] Shingo**
With Magatsu Storm,
when a rear-guard returns to my hand,
**[13:29] Shingo**
if I then Soul Blast a grade 3,
**[13:32] Shingo**
I can superior call three rear-guards!
**[13:35] Naoki**
Say what?!
**[13:37] Kourin**
Not only that, each of those
three units gets +5000 power!
**[13:41] Shingo**
I'm depending on you!
**[13:43] Magatsu**
At your will!
**[13:55] Shingo**
Why are you daydreaming?
**[13:58] Shingo**
I swear, you're absolutely useless.
**[14:01] Naoki**
S-Say what?!
**[14:02] Shingo**
Therefore...
**[14:03] Shingo**
in order to find a clan that suits you,
**[14:06] Shingo**
you should try using a variety of clans.
**[14:06] Naoki**
Ignoring me?!
**[14:09] Shingo**
Each clan has its own specialties.
**[14:30] Misaki**
Kourin...
**[14:36] Misaki**
What's going on?
**[14:38] Kourin**
Aichi told me you would be here.
**[14:41] Misaki**
Huh?
**[14:42] Kourin**
You always read during lunch break.
**[14:46] Kourin**
He said I could relax if I'm with you.
**[14:48] Misaki**
Aichi's keeping tabs on me at weird times...
**[14:53] Misaki**
You seem pretty busy.
**[14:55] Kourin**
Yeah, well...
**[15:00] Misaki**
Do you think you'll be able to
participate in the Vanguard Koshien?
**[15:04] Kourin**
That goes without saying.
**[15:06] Kourin**
I'm a member of the Cardfight Club...
**[15:10] Kourin**
...so I'll definitely play...
**[15:12] Kourin**
...with our team...
**[15:15] Misaki**
Right.
**[15:19] Misaki**
If it hadn't been for you,
**[15:21] Misaki**
I doubt that I would've
ever joined the Cardfight Club.
**[15:28] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[15:31] Kourin**
If I beat you, you have to join the Cardfight Club.
**[15:35] Kourin**
If you don't want that to happen,
do everything in your power to beat me.
**[15:38] Misaki**
I ride!
**[15:39] Misaki**
Hexagonal Magus!
**[15:42] Misaki**
The thread of fate leads me here,
to where my comrades gather!
**[15:48] Kourin**
Please, Dantegal!
**[15:51] Tetra**
Let's destroy them, Sister!
**[15:53] Hexagonal**
Yes, indeed.
**[16:01] Kourin**
I'm not giving up yet!
**[16:06] Kourin**
It's my turn.
**[16:08] Kourin**
Gareth and Viviane attack your Vanguard!
**[16:14] Kourin**
With a boost from Mark,
I attack your Vanguard!
**[16:17] Kourin**
Blond Ezel's skill activates!
**[16:20] Kourin**
I superior call Battlefield Storm, Sagramore!
**[16:24] Kourin**
Sagramore's Soul Blast!
**[16:27] Kourin**
I draw one card.
**[16:29] Kourin**
I superior call
Knight of Elegant Skills, Gareth!
**[16:34] Misaki**
Imaginary Gift! Protect!
**[16:37] Kourin**
Twin drive.
**[16:39] Kourin**
First check.
**[16:43] Kourin**
Second check.
**[16:51] Naoki**
Whoa!
**[16:52] Shingo**
A double trigger!
**[16:54] Kourin**
It appears your thread of fate
has led you to a dead end.
**[17:08] Misaki**
Thank you.
**[17:20] Kourin**
Knight of Elegant Skills, Gareth boosts.
**[17:23] Kourin**
Battlefield Tempest, Sagramore
attacks your Vanguard!
**[17:27] Suiko**
Battle Cupid, Nociel. Perfect guard!
**[17:31] Suiko**
Your attack doesn't hit me.
**[17:33] Suiko**
Nemean Lion attacks your Vanguard.
**[17:37] Takuto**
Listen up, you three.
**[17:42] Takuto**
Kourin attends Miyaji Academy.
**[17:44] Takuto**
Suiko attends Fukuhara High School.
**[17:46] Takuto**
Rekka attends the affiliated
Fukuhara Middle School.
**[17:49] Takuto**
But while all of you were
performing your duties in those places...
**[17:52] Rekka**
Kou didn't just monitor Aichi Sendou,
**[17:55] Rekka**
she stepped over the line
by joining the Cardfight Club.
**[17:58] Kourin**
Rekka!
**[18:03] Takuto**
It appears the time has come
for me to fulfill my role, as well.
**[18:08] Takuto**
As the Concert Master...
**[18:12] Takuto**
As you well know,
the head of the Tatsunagi Foundation
**[18:16] Takuto**
bears the role of Concert Master,
from generation to generation.
**[18:25] Takuto**
Father...
**[18:35] Takuto**
Father!
**[18:43] Takuto**
Takuto...
**[18:49] Nome**
Thank goodness, it isn't me.
**[18:56] Takuto**
And the Concert Master
has followers, similar to rear-guards.
**[19:03] Takuto**
As luck would have it, the members
of the Tatsunagi family who were called...
**[19:09] Takuto**
...were you three, the "Called Walkers".
**[19:16] Takuto**
Know how none of you
have memories from before this?
**[19:20] Takuto**
That was because you didn't
need them for this endeavor.
**[19:25] Takuto**
I'll give you everything you need
to live as my Called Walkers.
**[19:36] Rekka**
Well? So what do we do?
**[19:41] Suiko**
You watch your mouth when speaking to Takuto.
**[19:45] Rekka**
Hey Takuto, this girl scares me!
**[19:47] Suiko**
Don't shout at him!
**[19:49] Takuto**
No, it's fine.
**[19:54] Takuto**
So the two of you have
different degrees of loyalty to me?
**[19:59] Takuto**
How about you?
**[20:01] Kourin**
I will carry out your will.
**[20:05] Takuto**
I see.
**[20:09] Rekka**
But no Concert Master has ever
acted in the open before, right?
**[20:15] Rekka**
So why are you the first, Takuto?
**[20:19] Takuto**
Kouji Ibuki...
**[20:22] Takuto**
He fought using units that I didn't recognize.
**[20:28] Kouji**
Docking Deletor, Greion!
**[20:31] Kouji**
Its skill activates!
**[20:35] Tetsu**
What?!
**[20:37] Tetsu**
Dantarian!
**[20:39] Tetsu**
I-It can't be!
**[20:40] Tetsu**
The unit I was riding got ripped away?!
**[20:43] Kouji**
I delete Dantarian.
**[20:48] Tetsu**
"Delete"?!
**[20:49] Kouji**
That's right. This one eradicates Vanguards.
**[20:53] Kouji**
It's a super-powered being from
the planet Cray, as well as my avatar!
**[20:58] Kouji**
Docking Deletor, Greion!
**[21:03] Takuto**
I can't allow him to go unchecked.
**[21:06] Ezel**
A threat draws near...
**[21:08] Ezel**
...to our planet Cray.
**[21:12] Kourin**
What?!
**[21:13] Rekka**
What are you saying, Takuto?!
**[21:15] Rekka**
Isn't the planet Cray imaginary?
**[21:18] Takuto**
Oh, that's right.
I never did tell you three this.
**[21:22] Takuto**
The planet Cray actually exists.
**[21:27] Kourin**
Cray... is real?!
**[23:10] Takuto**
Kourin, if you're exhausted,
why not take a day off from school?
**[23:13] Kourin**
What are you talking about, Takuto?
**[23:15] Kourin**
I definitely have to go!
**[23:17] Takuto**
I see.
**[23:18] Takuto**
Then at least allow me to tell you...
**[23:20] Takuto**
...you're wearing just one sock.
**[23:22] Kourin**
Huh? ...You're right!
**[23:23] Rekka**
You don't have your bag, either!
**[23:26] Kourin**
What are you... You're right!
**[23:27] Suiko**
Not to mention that
you're still in your pajamas...
**[23:30] Kourin**
That's ridicu-- You're right!
**[23:32] Takuto**
Yet you haven't forgotten your deck.

**[00:04] Aichi**
Good morning.
**[00:05] Naoki**
Mornin'!
**[00:06] Shingo**
Good morning to you!
**[00:10] Misaki**
Morning.
**[00:12] Misaki**
Why are you dressed like that?
**[00:14] Shin**
Are you going on a field trip?
**[00:16] Shingo**
Nothing of the sort!
**[00:17] Shingo**
The Miyaji Academy Cardfight Club
has come here to do independent training.
**[00:21] Shin**
Independent training?
**[00:22] Naoki**
I mean, here it's our day off,
**[00:25] Naoki**
but Kourin's busy with idol work
and you're workin' at the shop, Boss--
**[00:29] Misaki**
I'm not a "Boss"!
**[00:30] Misaki**
So anyway, it'd be boring with just
us three grubby guys playing in that tiny room,
**[00:36] Misaki**
so we decided to meet up here.
**[00:39] Shin**
That makes sense.
**[00:40] Shin**
But why the track suits?
**[00:42] Shingo**
Um, Student Council rule number seven.
**[00:46] Shingo**
"When engaged in club activities
outside of school on a day off,
**[00:49] Shingo**
"students are required to wear their
school uniforms or school-approved sportswear."
**[00:54] Aichi**
Then maybe we should have worn our uniforms.
**[00:57] Naoki**
What're you talking 'bout?!
Team activities demand track suits!
**[01:00] Misaki**
Hold on.
**[01:01] Misaki**
Just let me get ready.
**[01:05] The Boys**
Misaki, you're going to
wear a track suit, too?!
**[01:07] Misaki**
No!
**[01:08] Misaki**
I'll get the shop ready!
**[01:14] Aichi**
Kourin!
**[01:16] Naoki**
You really came?! Sweet!
**[01:18] Naoki**
Now all the members of the
Miyaji Academy Cardfight Club are here!
**[01:24] Aichi**
I'm now a student at Miyaji Academy,
**[01:27] Aichi**
and have decided to start a Cardfight Club.
**[01:32] Aichi**
I've got to imagine it!
**[01:35] Aichi**
I'm sure my imagination will take shape!
***SIGN*** Image 36 Destiny Conductor
**[03:14] Naoki**
This's okay? I thought you had to work today.
**[03:17] Kourin**
I was supposed to,
**[03:19] Kourin**
but there was trouble with the equipment,
so we suddenly got the day off.
**[03:22] Aichi**
Then shouldn't you get some rest at home?
**[03:26] Misaki**
That's right.
**[03:28] Misaki**
Just the other day, you seemed exhausted.
**[03:33] Kourin**
I'm fine today.
**[03:34] Kourin**
Besides, I feel like I'll be more energized
by playing Vanguard with you guys.
**[03:39] Naoki**
Then let's do it!
**[03:41] Shingo**
Let the independent training begin!
**[03:45] Morikawa**
Kourin!
**[03:46] Morikawa**
We've been seeing a lot
of each other lately, huh?
**[03:48] Morikawa**
It feels like fate to me!
**[03:51] Naoki**
Hey!
**[03:52] Naoki**
You want somethin' with one of our members?
**[03:54] Shingo**
Please don't bother us!
**[03:56] Misaki**
If you're here to pick up girls,
I'm kicking you out!
**[03:59] Morikawa**
I-I'm not trying to pick
up anyone! I was just...
**[04:02] Kamui**
Good morning!
**[04:05] Kamui**
Huh? Brother Aichi!
**[04:07] Kamui**
Is it your school's Sports Day?
**[04:12] Aichi**
No, this is...
**[04:16] Morikawa**
Sports Day, hah!
**[04:20] Takuto**
Welcome!
**[04:22] Takuto**
Pleased to meet you. I'm Takuto Tatsunagi.
**[04:25] Takuto**
I apologize for calling you
over out of the blue...
**[04:29] Takuto**
...Kouji Ibuki.
**[04:31] Kouji**
Yeesh.
**[04:33] Kouji**
Just when I thought I took out all the
Vanguard club trash that'd been stalking me,
**[04:39] Kouji**
I have to deal with the
Tatsunagi Foundation's rich brat?
**[04:43] Takuto**
"Trash"? That's not very nice.
**[04:45] Kouji**
So, what do you want?
**[04:48] Kouji**
Just keep it short.
**[04:50] Takuto**
Allow me to introduce you.
This is Suiko Tatsunagi.
**[04:54] Takuto**
Like you, she's a Vanguard fighter
who goes to Fukuhara High School.
**[04:59] Takuto**
I'd heard that most Fukuhara students
with an interest in Vanguard were club members,
**[05:06] Takuto**
but you seem to be
slightly different from them.
**[05:09] Kouji**
Get. To. The. Point.
**[05:11] Takuto**
Very well, I shall be frank.
**[05:15] Takuto**
This is regarding your "Deletors."
**[05:17] Kouji**
Where did you hear about them?
**[05:19] Kouji**
From Tetsu?
**[05:21] Takuto**
A "deletor," in other words,
is "one who erases," correct?
**[05:26] Takuto**
I thought I had a good grasp
of all Vanguard units,
**[05:31] Takuto**
but your "Deletors" remain unknown to me.
**[05:35] Takuto**
Therefore, I wish to learn about them.
**[05:38] Takuto**
How did you acquire those units?
**[05:41] Kouji**
I didn't "acquire" them.
**[05:43] Kouji**
One day, my imagination exploded,
**[05:46] Kouji**
and the next thing I knew,
**[05:48] Kouji**
they were in my hand.
**[05:49] Kouji**
That's all.
**[05:52] Suiko**
I'd love to fight mysterious units like that!
**[05:56] Kouji**
Don't get the wrong idea.
**[05:59] Kouji**
I hate Vanguard.
**[06:01] Kouji**
And I'm especially disgusted
with an idol who fights in her spare time.
**[06:07] Suiko**
Spare time?!
**[06:08] Takuto**
How about fighting me?
**[06:10] Suiko**
Takuto!
**[06:12] Takuto**
I'm deeply interested.
**[06:14] Takuto**
In you...
**[06:15] Takuto**
...and in those units.
**[06:18] Kouji**
Hey, give me a break!
**[06:21] Kouji**
I'm not some clown hired to amuse you.
**[06:25] Kouji**
Well, that's what I was going to say...
**[06:28] Kouji**
But fine. I accept your challenge...
**[06:31] Kouji**
...rich brat.
**[06:34] Suiko**
What are you up to?
**[06:36] Kouji**
I'm sure if I'd refused,
**[06:39] Kouji**
you would've continued to seek me out.
**[06:42] Kouji**
So instead,
**[06:43] Kouji**
I'll crush your leader here!
**[06:46] Kouji**
I thought this way would be
more effective, that's all.
**[06:49] Suiko**
All right, here is this mansion's playroom!
**[06:53] Suiko**
The battle room!
**[06:54] Kouji**
In that case, imagine it!
**[06:57] Kouji**
Right now, we're spirits, astral bodies
that have appeared on the planet Cray.
**[07:03] Kouji**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[07:03] Takuto**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[07:07] Kouji**
I ride!
**[07:10] Kouji**
Sprout Deletor, Luchi!
**[07:12] Takuto**
I ride!
**[07:15] Takuto**
Crimson Lion Cub, Kryph!
**[07:18] Kouji**
It's my turn first.
**[07:19] Kouji**
I ride!
**[07:23] Kouji**
Ferment Deletor, Gaen!
**[07:27] Kouji**
With Luchi's skill, I draw one card,
and then my turn ends.
**[07:31] Takuto**
I ride!
**[07:35] Takuto**
Crimson Lion Beast, Howell!
**[07:38] Takuto**
With Kryph's skill, I draw one card!
**[07:40] Takuto**
And then I call Evil Slaying Swordsman, Haugan!
**[07:42] Haugan**
Right!
**[07:43] Takuto**
Go, Haugan!
**[07:49] Suiko**
All right!
**[07:49] Takuto**
Next...
**[07:51] Takuto**
Howell attacks!
**[07:52] Kouji**
How naive.
**[07:55] Takuto**
Drive check!
**[08:01] Kouji**
You didn't really expect
that attack to go through, did you?
**[08:07] Takuto**
Not particularly.
**[08:08] Takuto**
One simply must probe every possibility
when playing against unknown units.
**[08:15] Takuto**
Correct?
**[08:17] Kouji**
Don't be impatient.
**[08:19] Kouji**
I'll give you a complete understanding...
**[08:22] Kouji**
...of how terrifying the Deletors are.
**[08:26] Kouji**
I ride...
**[08:30] Kouji**
...Swift Deletor, Geali.
**[08:32] Kouji**
And now, come to me! Alba! Elro!
**[08:35] Kouji**
Elro attacks your Vanguard!
**[08:40] Takuto**
What is this image?!
**[08:43] Takuto**
My PSYqualia is warning me!
**[08:47] Takuto**
It's telling me I must go on the defensive!
**[08:50] Takuto**
In that case...
**[08:51] Takuto**
Sacred Guardian Beast, Nemean Lion!
**[08:54] Takuto**
Nemean Lion's skill! +5000 shield!
**[08:58] Lion**
Good luck!
**[08:59] Takuto**
Thank you!
**[09:00] Kouji**
What are you afraid of?
**[09:03] Kouji**
I thought you wanted to learn
about the Deletors' power...
**[09:07] Kouji**
...rich brat.
**[09:10] Kamui**
Here I come!
**[09:12] Kamui**
Asura Kaiser attacks your Vanguard!
**[09:17] Naoki**
Damage check!
**[09:22] Kamui**
How'd ya like that?!
**[09:23] Aichi**
Too bad, Naoki.
**[09:25] Kamui**
Brother Aichi, I wanted her to see this fight!
**[09:29] Aichi**
Huh?
**[09:30] Kamui**
She isn't with you today?
**[09:33] Aichi**
Who?
**[09:34] Kamui**
Oh, come on! Isn't it obvious?!
**[09:37] Kamui**
I mean Miss Emi!
**[09:39] Aichi**
Oh, Emi?
**[09:41] Aichi**
I believe she went shopping with a friend...
**[09:46] Kamui**
Is it a d-d-d-date?!
**[09:48] Aichi**
Her friend is a girl.
**[09:55] Kamui**
Thank goodness...
**[09:57] Kourin**
Come to think of it, Rekka said
she was going shopping today, too.
**[10:01] Naoki**
What if they actually went together?
**[10:03] Kourin**
Huh?
**[10:03] Naoki**
Her and Aichi's little sister...
**[10:05] Kourin**
There's no way!
**[10:08] Mai**
Isn't that Rekka over there?
**[10:11] Emi**
I don't believe it!
Is she here for a photo shoot?
**[10:14] Fan B**
Please give me an autograph!
**[10:16] Rekka**
This is my day off! Sorry!
**[10:19] Emi**
In here!
**[10:27] Rekka**
Sheesh! Can't people just
let me enjoy my one day off?!
**[10:33] Rekka**
Thanks.
**[10:34] Rekka**
Bye.
**[10:35] Emi**
Wait!
**[10:47] Emi**
Maybe a little weird...
**[10:48] Rekka**
Smile!
**[10:50] The Two**
Okay!
**[11:02] Kouji**
Geali attacks your Vanguard!
**[11:05] Takuto**
No guard!
**[11:07] Kouji**
Drive check.
**[11:09] Kouji**
Critical trigger.
**[11:11] Kouji**
I give the power to Alba,
**[11:12] Kouji**
and the extra critical to Geali.
**[11:15] Suiko**
He drew a critical at just the right time!
**[11:24] Takuto**
How long have you possessed that power?
**[11:29] Kouji**
It's a power?
**[11:31] Takuto**
Yes, it is.
**[11:32] Takuto**
The power to listen to the melody
playing on the planet Cray,
**[11:36] Takuto**
and use it to draw fate towards you!
**[11:40] Takuto**
PSYqualia!
**[11:42] Kouji**
"PSYqualia"?
**[11:44] Takuto**
Our Tatsunagi Foundation supports
Fukuhara High's Vanguard Club
**[11:50] Takuto**
in order to further research into PSYqualia.
**[11:53] Kouji**
I'm not interested in that stuff.
**[11:57] Kouji**
Save your tedious blather for later.
**[12:00] Kouji**
It's your turn.
**[12:01] Takuto**
Yes, it is.
**[12:04] Takuto**
Then, I shall show you...
**[12:08] Takuto**
...the essence of PSYqualia.
**[12:11] Takuto**
Here I go!
**[12:13] Takuto**
I ride!
**[12:18] Takuto**
Flame Wind Lion, Wonder Ezel!
**[12:21] Takuto**
Furthermore,
I call Crimson Lion Beast, Howell!
**[12:25] Takuto**
A Soul Blast for Wonder Ezel!
**[12:29] Takuto**
By retiring Howell,
**[12:31] Takuto**
Wonder Ezel evolves!
**[12:39] Takuto**
Superior ride!
**[12:43] Takuto**
Incandescent Lion, Blond Ezel!
**[12:49] Kouji**
What?! He...
**[12:54] Kouji**
What the...?!
**[12:55] Kouji**
What am I seeing?!
**[13:03] Kouji**
Just what is this kid?!
**[13:18] Kouji**
What am I seeing?!
**[13:21] Takuto**
Sagramore attacks your Vanguard!
**[13:26] Kouji**
Intercept!
**[13:31] Takuto**
Drive check!
**[13:33] Takuto**
Critical trigger!
**[13:34] Takuto**
I give the power to Wonder Ezel,
**[13:36] Takuto**
and the extra critical to Blond Ezel!
**[13:39] Takuto**
Lion Cub Dash!
**[13:41] Takuto**
Just what are you, you disruptor
of the planet Cray's harmony?!
**[13:46] Takuto**
Where did you come from?!
**[13:49] Kouji**
Are you making me see these images?!
**[13:52] Kouji**
Just what are *you*?!
**[13:55] Takuto**
I shall answer you.
**[13:56] Takuto**
I am the one who tunes the melody of fate
**[14:00] Takuto**
that plays both here on Earth
and on the planet Cray.
**[14:04] Takuto**
I am Concert Master, Takuto.
**[14:07] Kouji**
Concert Master?
The one who tunes the performance?
**[14:12] Takuto**
Precisely.
**[14:14] Takuto**
The rhythms of life born from Earth
and from the planet Cray
**[14:17] Takuto**
reverberate back and forth
to produce a single timbre.
**[14:22] Takuto**
That's the melody of fate,
**[14:24] Takuto**
the force of destiny.
**[14:26] Takuto**
Just as the Cardfights that take place on Earth
**[14:29] Takuto**
have their fate affected by the melody of Cray,
**[14:34] Takuto**
the battles that take place on the planet Cray
**[14:36] Takuto**
are also influenced by Earth.
**[14:40] Takuto**
If they win the fight,
the fortunes of their clan will rise.
**[14:44] Takuto**
But if they lose, misfortune will befall them.
**[14:47] Kouji**
You talk as if the planet Cray actually exists.
**[14:52] Kouji**
You need to rein in
your fiction-based delusions!
**[14:57] Takuto**
Oh, no.
**[14:58] Takuto**
The planet Cray does exist.
**[15:00] Kouji**
What?!
**[15:01] Takuto**
Have you ever had the sensation
**[15:04] Takuto**
that a Vanguard unit was
speaking directly to you?
**[15:08] Takuto**
Have you ever seen a strange prairie
or a temple in your dreams?
**[15:13] Takuto**
Have you ever found yourself
staring at your deck without knowing why?
**[15:17] Kouji**
What are you trying to say?!
**[15:20] Takuto**
That's all because you're resonating with
the melody playing on the planet Cray.
**[15:26] Kouji**
Resonating?!
**[15:28] Takuto**
The instrumental duet played by you Vanguard
fighters and the residents of the planet Cray
**[15:35] Takuto**
has been tuned by generations of Concert Masters.
**[15:39] Takuto**
In perpetuity, and beyond.
**[15:43] Kouji**
Why don't you try writing books?
**[15:46] Kouji**
I think you're more suited to that
than leading a financial conglomerate.
**[15:50] Takuto**
I'm not making this up.
**[15:56] Takuto**
Recall the fateful melodies
you yourself have played.
**[16:04] Takuto**
Go!
**[16:06] Takuto**
Sacred Guardian Beast, Nemean Lion!
**[16:12] Takuto**
So you do feel the units' pain, don't you?
**[16:17] Kouji**
That?
**[16:19] Takuto**
Shamans, shrine priestesses, mediums...
**[16:22] Takuto**
Since ancient times, there have
been humans who resonate
**[16:26] Takuto**
with the residents of the planet Cray,
allowing them to glimpse fate.
**[16:29] Takuto**
However, recently,
**[16:31] Takuto**
humans have appeared who make
the melody resound even more strongly.
**[16:36] Takuto**
The ability to feel the units' pain,
as if it were happening to you...
**[16:40] Takuto**
That is PSYqualia.
**[16:43] Kouji**
PSYqualia...
**[16:46] Takuto**
But too powerful of a resonance
will lead to destruction in time.
**[16:50] Takuto**
Thus we have been monitoring
people who possess PSYqualia.
**[16:55] Takuto**
Among them all, I detected
one note of dissonance.
**[17:00] Takuto**
A strange melody I'd never heard before...
**[17:05] Takuto**
And the one playing that dissonant melody
was you! The Deletor!
**[17:10] Kouji**
Come to me!
**[17:11] Kouji**
Pulse Monk of the Quaking Foot!
**[17:14] Kouji**
And then Elro intercepts!
**[17:17] Takuto**
I'll ask you one question!
**[17:19] Takuto**
Just what are you?!
**[17:22] Kouji**
I'm sick of all your questions!
**[17:25] Kouji**
But if you really want to know...
**[17:28] Kouji**
I'll show you the true form of the Deletor!
**[17:31] Kouji**
I ride!
**[17:39] Kouji**
Docking Deletor, Greion!
**[17:43] Suiko**
I have a bad feeling about this!
**[17:45] Kouji**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[17:52] Kouji**
Additionally...
**[17:54] Kouji**
...I call Hailing Deletor, Elro.
**[17:57] Kouji**
With this, the skill of Alba
in the Drop Zone activates.
**[18:00] Kouji**
Soul Blast!
**[18:02] Kouji**
I superior call Alba from the Drop Zone!
**[18:05] Suiko**
A superior call?!
**[18:07] Kouji**
And then...
**[18:08] Kouji**
Come to me, Breaking Deletor, Gatario!
**[18:12] Kouji**
Counterblast!
**[18:13] Kouji**
Docking!
**[18:16] Kouji**
Release!
**[18:19] Ezel**
My Vanguard!
**[18:25] Suiko**
The unit in the Vanguard Circle
has been wiped away!
**[18:28] Kouji**
Now you're just an astral body.
**[18:34] Takuto**
Is this...
**[18:36] Suiko**
...the power of the Deletors?!
**[18:41] Shingo**
What's wrong, Kourin?
**[18:44] Kourin**
N-Nothing...
**[18:49] Takuto**
Damage check!
**[18:51] Takuto**
Front trigger!
**[18:53] Suiko**
That gives the front row units +10,000 power!
**[18:59] Kouji**
That won't be enough to save you.
**[19:03] Kouji**
Greion...
**[19:04] Takuto**
Dantegal!
**[19:06] Kouji**
Twin drive.
**[19:08] Kouji**
First check.
**[19:09] Kouji**
Second check.
**[19:11] Suiko**
A critical trigger?!
**[19:13] Kouji**
Go ahead. Make your damage check.
**[19:24] Greion**
We finally meet, Concert Master.
**[19:28] Takuto**
That voice!
**[19:30] Takuto**
You're not Ibuki!
**[19:32] Takuto**
Who are you?!
**[19:33] Greion**
The Destiny Conductor.
**[19:37] Takuto**
"The Destiny Conductor"?!
**[19:39] Greion**
This is the fate you were given.
**[19:44] Greion**
Delete...
**[19:46] Greion**
End!
**[19:52] Suiko**
Takuto!
**[19:54] Takuto**
I'm going to vanish! It's deleting me!
**[20:03] Ezel**
My connection with the
Concert Master has disappeared!
**[20:12] Suiko**
Takuto!
**[20:15] Suiko**
What happened, Takuto?!
**[20:22] Emi**
Are you okay, Rekka?!
**[20:23] Emi**
What's wrong?!
**[20:25] Rekka**
Don't...
**[20:27] Rekka**
...worry about me!
**[20:29] Emi**
Rekka!
**[20:33] Kourin**
What is this?!
**[20:35] Kourin**
My... My mind... it's being overwritten!
**[20:40] Shingo**
Kourin!
**[20:42] Morikawa**
Shingo, what did you do to Kourin?!
**[20:45] Shingo**
Me?! I did nothing!
We were just having a normal fight!
**[20:51] Kourin**
Get me out of here!
**[20:55] Naoki**
What's wrong with her?!
**[20:57] Shingo**
Maybe she's feeling ill?
**[21:01] Aichi**
Kourin...
**[21:15] Takuto**
Thank you, Ibuki.
**[21:19] Takuto**
Thanks to you, we can finally meet.
**[21:22] Kouji**
Who the heck are you?!
**[21:25] Takuto**
Nice to meet you.
**[21:27] Takuto**
I am the one who commands fate.
**[21:32] Takuto**
Destiny Conductor.
**[23:10] Takuto**
I'm Takuto Tatsunagi!
**[23:11] Suiko**
I'm Suiko Tatsunagi!
**[23:13] Takuto**
Today we're introducing...
**[23:14] Takuto**
...Vangua-Reality Goggles, which make you feel
like you're really fighting on the planet Cray!
**[23:19] Takuto**
VR Goggles, for short!
**[23:21] Takuto**
Just by putting them on...
**[23:22] Kouji**
Hey! You called me here
to give me a sales pitch?!
**[23:25] Suiko**
That's PSYqualia for you! You saw the future!
**[23:27] Kouji**
No, it was obvious!
**[23:28] Kouji**
And next you'll say, "Act now,
and we'll throw in another pair for free!"
**[23:32] Suiko**
Close!
**[23:32] Suiko**
Act now, and we'll throw in tree pruning shears
that can even cut through thick branches!

Absolutely nothing!

**[00:07] Takuto**
Thank you, Ibuki.
**[00:10] Ibuki**
Huh?
**[00:13] Takuto**
Thanks to you, we can finally meet.
**[00:18] Ibuki**
What are you talking about?
**[00:20] Ibuki**
Aren't you the Concert Master?
**[00:27] Takuto**
You deleted the Concert Master, remember?
**[00:34] Greion**
Delete...
**[00:36] Greion**
...End!
**[00:37] Ibuki**
That was in the game.
**[00:40] Takuto**
As you possess PSYqualia,
I'm sure you can understand.
**[00:45] Takuto**
When the Concert Master was deleted,
**[00:47] Takuto**
Takuto Tatsunagi became an empty shell,
**[00:50] Takuto**
which I was then able to ride.
**[00:55] Ibuki**
You're telling me you possessed him?
**[00:58] Takuto**
Yes, that is correct.
**[01:03] Takuto**
Nice to meet you.
**[01:05] Takuto**
I am the one who commands fate.
**[01:08] Takuto**
Destiny Conductor.
**[01:11] Ibuki**
You're "Destiny Conductor" now?
**[01:14] Takuto**
Yes, I am.
**[01:16] Ibuki**
My head hurts. Are you being serious?
**[01:19] Takuto**
You may continue to call me
Takuto Tatsunagi, if you prefer.
**[01:24] Takuto**
For I have inherited all of his attributes.
**[01:28] Ibuki**
What does that mean?
**[01:31] Takuto**
For example...
**[01:32] Takuto**
She is a "Called Walker",
one who is fated to follow the Concert Master.
**[01:39] Takuto**
But now...
**[01:50] Takuto**
Suiko...
**[01:53] Suiko**
Yes, Takuto...
**[01:58] Takuto**
She is under my control.
**[02:01] Takuto**
As are the other two.
**[02:04] Takuto**
Thank you, Ibuki, for picking up
those Deletors that I sent over.
**[02:09] Ibuki**
You sent them?
**[02:12] Takuto**
The hopes I had placed in the Deletors
**[02:15] Takuto**
shared the same purpose
as your hopes for Vanguard.
**[02:20] Takuto**
That's why the Deletors came to you.
**[02:23] Ibuki**
You're wrong!
**[02:25] Takuto**
We share the same fate, you and I.
**[02:29] Ibuki**
Enough of your lies!
**[02:30] Ibuki**
I imagined and obtained the Deletors,
all of my own free will!
**[02:37] Ibuki**
All so I could get rid
of Vanguard, which I despise!
**[02:41] Ibuki**
It had nothing to do with your wishes!
**[02:51] Takuto**
Well, not like I expected him
to be at my beck and call from the get-go.
**[02:56] Suiko**
Takuto...
**[03:00] Takuto**
Why, hello! I see the gang's all here.
**[03:09] Takuto**
I have no other choice.
**[03:13] Takuto**
I suppose you Called Walkers
will have to kick things off by yourselves.

**[04:58] Aichi**
Kourin is absent today, huh?
**[05:01] Shingo**
I haven't seen her since she suddenly
ran out of Card Capital yesterday.
**[05:07] Aichi**
Emi said she ran into Rekka in town yesterday,
**[05:12] Aichi**
but that Rekka also
began acting strange and left.
**[05:17] Shingo**
Whaaa?! Even Rekka?!
**[05:20] Naoki**
That worries me...
**[05:22] Aichi**
Yeah...
**[05:24] Member A**
I ride!
**[05:26] Member B**
I call!
***SIGN*** Vanguard Koshien Lead-up
**[05:27] Member C**
Attack!
**[05:28] Member D**
Critical trigger!
**[05:31] Kawanami**
I, Kawanami, will be one of our
first-string fighters in the Vanguard Koshien!
**[05:38] Asaka**
Why did you play this unit here?
**[05:41] Asaka**
You knew your opponent had
a perfect guard in hand, right?
**[05:46] Bidou**
Captain, please fight me!
**[05:49] Ren**
Okay, sure.
**[05:52] Member E**
Coach?
**[05:53] Member E**
Coach Shinjou?
**[05:57] Tetsu**
Oh! What can I do for you?
**[06:00] Member E**
I get the feeling my deck's offense is weak.
**[06:03] Member E**
So I was thinking about
adding heal triggers, but...
**[06:07] Tetsu**
Sure, why not?
**[06:10] Member E**
Thank you so much!
**[06:22] Tetsu**
Still nothing...
**[06:24] Ren**
Tetsu!
**[06:27] Tetsu**
Ren...
**[06:29] Ren**
What's the matter?
**[06:31] Ren**
You've been acting weird the past few days.
**[06:34] Ren**
As our Vanguard Club coach,
**[06:36] Ren**
you'd been cracking the whip
to get us ready for the Vanguard Koshien,
**[06:41] Ren**
but lately, you haven't
shown any enthusiasm at all.
**[06:46] Tetsu**
There's no point trying to hide it from you.
**[06:50] Tetsu**
Since you possess PSYqualia,
you must sense it better than I do.
**[06:54] Tetsu**
Over time, I'd developed
a kind of trust in my deck, a bond...
**[07:00] Tetsu**
a connection with the cards.
**[07:03] Tetsu**
But now, it's like I've lost
the ability to feel that connection.
**[07:07] Ren**
Some kind of ennui, maybe?
**[07:12] Tetsu**
I do have some idea of why it's happened.
**[07:15] Tetsu**
Yes, this must be due to...
**[07:17] Greion**
Delete End!
**[07:19] Tetsu**
When Kouji Ibuki defeated me...
**[07:23] Tetsu**
What exactly happened back then?
**[07:36] Suiko**
I'll take the high school section.
**[07:38] Rekka**
Okay, I'll do the middle school section.
**[07:51] Suiko**
Oh my, Ren isn't here?
**[07:54] Asako**
Suiko...?
**[07:56] Suiko**
Which means the strongest fighter here is...
**[08:01] Kawanami**
You! Here to vie for my position on the
first-string Vanguard Koshien team, huh?!
**[08:07] Kawanami**
I, Kawanami, will show you
just how much stronger I am!
**[08:12] Suiko**
I suppose anyone will do to start.
**[08:16] Asaka**
What is this?
**[08:17] Asaka**
She doesn't seem like her usual self...
**[08:22] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[08:26] Student A**
A heal trigger! I'm saved!
**[08:28] Student B**
Shoot!
**[08:30] Student**
Awesome!
**[08:32] Rekka**
They hardly seem worth the effort.
**[08:32] Student**
I attack your Vanguard once more!
**[08:34] Rekka**
Ah, well...
**[08:35] Student**
Guard!
**[08:37] Rekka**
Hey, you guys!
**[08:43] Student A**
It's Rekka from ULTRARARE!
**[08:45] Student B**
Wh-What are you doing here?
**[08:48] Rekka**
Which of you is the strongest fighter?
**[08:52] Suiko**
Now to finish you off!
**[08:54] Kawanami**
I have a final damage check!
**[08:58] Kawanami**
I have it... I have the scent!
**[09:00] Kawanami**
It's a heal trigger!
**[09:04] Kawanami**
N-No way! No trigger?!
**[09:08] Kawanami**
I lost!
**[09:21] Asaka**
Kawanami!
**[09:23] Suiko**
You don't need to worry about him.
**[09:29] Suiko**
I just gave him a little power, that's all.
**[09:34] Asaka**
You gave him power?
**[09:41] Suiko**
How do you feel, Kawanami?
**[09:47] Kawanami**
I feel awesome, Suiko!
**[09:51] Kawanami**
I feel like nobody could beat me now!
**[09:57] Kawanami**
Hey, fight me!
**[09:59] Bidou**
Uh, okay...
**[10:01] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[10:11] Asaka**
Isn't that...?!
**[10:12] Suiko**
That's right. He now possesses PSYqualia.
**[10:16] Suiko**
Those given this power are compelled
to battle other Vanguard fighters,
**[10:21] Suiko**
and then spread the power
to their opponents by defeating them!
**[10:26] Asaka**
What?! That sounds like zombies!
**[10:29] Suiko**
Exactly.
**[10:30] Suiko**
Zombies that spread PSYqualia...
**[10:35] Suiko**
They become PSYqualia zombies!
**[10:40] Asaka**
PSYqualia zombies...
**[10:49] Rekka**
They were all pushovers.
**[10:54] Rekka**
Wake up, you guys.
**[10:56] Rekka**
Is there any fighter
in this school stronger than you?
**[11:00] Student A**
Kyou Yahagi...
**[11:02] Rekka**
Kyou Yahagi...
**[11:04] Rekka**
Take me to him!
**[11:07] Students**
Yes, Rekka...
**[11:14] Kyou**
Ow...
**[11:18] Kyou**
I must've dozed off.
**[11:21] Kyou**
It's this late?
**[11:23] Kyou**
Classes are over already.
**[11:26] Kyou**
Guess I'll go home.
**[11:33] Kawanami**
Now you're one of us!
**[11:36] Kawanami**
Who's my next opponent?!
**[11:39] Asaka**
Stop it, Kawanami!
**[11:40] Asaka**
I'll be your opponent!
**[11:42] Suiko**
No, not you.
**[11:43] Suiko**
Even if he now has the power of PSYqualia,
**[11:46] Suiko**
you were far stronger than him before.
**[11:48] Suiko**
I can't have you defeating him.
**[11:50] Suiko**
So...
**[11:52] Suiko**
...let's fight each other.
**[11:55] Asaka**
Fine.
**[12:10] Student A**
R-Rekka, that's him.
**[12:13] Student B**
That's Kyou Yahagi.
**[12:17] Rekka**
So you're Kyou?
**[12:18] Kyou**
What does an idol want with me?
**[12:21] Rekka**
We're going to fight!
**[12:23] Kyou**
Too bad, I don't feel like it.
**[12:25] Rekka**
Hold it right there!
**[12:29] Kyou**
What's you guys' problem?
**[12:30] Kyou**
Move it.
**[12:32] Kyou**
I said move!
**[12:33] Rekka**
It's no use.
**[12:34] Rekka**
These boys are my manservants.
**[12:37] Kyou**
What did you do to them?!
**[12:39] Rekka**
You'll find out if you fight me!
***SIGN*** Cardfight Club
**[12:43] Naoki**
Wait! Hang on a sec!
**[12:46] Shingo**
There is no waiting during a serious match.
**[12:48] Misaki**
I see. Kourin's absent today?
**[12:51] Aichi**
Yes. We're all worried about her.
**[12:57] Takuto**
What are you doing? Get it over with.
**[13:12] Kourin**
No!
**[13:20] Aichi**
What is it, Misaki?
**[13:22] Misaki**
I thought I saw Kourin just now...
**[13:25] Aichi**
Really?!
**[13:28] Misaki**
It probably wasn't her.
**[13:30] Aichi**
Oh...
**[13:33] Misaki**
I have work today, so I'm taking off.
**[13:36] Aichi**
We'll drop by later.
**[13:38] Shingo**
See you later.
**[13:40] Naoki**
Take it easy, Boss!
**[13:42] Misaki**
I'm not a "Boss"!
**[13:45] Kyou**
Then let's get started.
**[13:47] Rekka**
Fine by me.
**[13:49] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[13:53] Kyou**
Her eyes...
**[13:54] Kyou**
Don't tell me she's got PSYqualia?!
**[14:00] Tetsu**
Shouldn't we be heading back?
**[14:03] Ren**
It's not like we have to.
**[14:06] Tetsu**
But if the members find out that
both their coach and captain are slacking off,
**[14:10] Tetsu**
it'll have a negative impact on morale.
**[14:12] Tetsu**
At the least, Asaka will throw a fit.
**[14:15] Ren**
She won't get mad.
**[14:17] Tetsu**
Maybe not at you.
**[14:19] Asaka**
Ren...
**[14:20] Asaka**
Tetsu...
**[14:22] Tetsu**
Speak of the devil...
**[14:24] Ren**
We were just about to head back.
**[14:26] Ren**
Thanks, Asa--
**[14:32] Asaka**
Ren... I must...
**[14:36] Asaka**
...ch-challenge you...
**[14:38] Asaka**
...to... a fight...
**[14:44] Asaka**
R-Ren... fight... me...
**[14:50] Tetsu**
Asaka, what's wrong with you?!
**[14:54] Ren**
If you really want to fight me, Asaka,
**[14:57] Ren**
I'd gladly accept, anytime, anywhere.
**[15:01] Ren**
But...
**[15:08] Ren**
I don't want to fight you
while you look like you're suffering.
**[15:21] Asaka**
Fight... me...
**[15:25] Asaka**
...Ren...!
**[15:28] Tetsu**
I've never seen Asaka like this before.
**[15:31] Tetsu**
What's happened to her?
**[15:33] Asaka**
Fight... me...!
**[15:36] Ren**
Sorry.
**[15:37] Ren**
"No" is the only answer you'll get.
**[15:42] Asaka**
Ren...!
**[15:43] Tetsu**
Asaka!
**[15:44] Ren**
Asaka?!
**[15:52] Suiko**
Just look at her.
Don't you feel sorry for Asaka?
**[15:57] Suiko**
Go on, fight her, Ren.
**[16:02] Ren**
Something tells me that
the person who made Asaka like this...
**[16:06] Ren**
...was you, Suiko.
**[16:09] Suiko**
That's right.
**[16:10] Suiko**
You see...
**[16:17] Suiko**
She fought me and lost.
**[16:21] Suiko**
And as a result...
**[16:22] Suiko**
...she became a PSYqualia zombie.
**[16:25] Tetsu**
"PSYqualia zombie", you say?
**[16:29] Ren**
In other words, you "infected" her
with a power she never asked for.
**[16:34] Asaka**
Ren...
**[16:36] Suiko**
Yes, I'm the one who gave Asaka that power.
**[16:40] Suiko**
So she can't disobey my orders.
**[16:45] Tetsu**
You guys...
**[16:47] Suiko**
The only Fukuhara fighter
who hasn't been infected yet...
**[16:51] Suiko**
...is you, Ren.
**[16:54] Ren**
What about Tetsu?
**[16:56] Suiko**
It appears that Coach Tetsu
**[16:57] Suiko**
is no longer a Vanguard fighter.
**[17:02] Tetsu**
I see...
**[17:03] Tetsu**
What got erased back then...
**[17:06] Tetsu**
...was my Cardfighting self!
**[17:15] Suiko**
You have nowhere to run.
**[17:18] Suiko**
Ren Suzugamori! Fight Asaka Narumi!
**[17:29] Kyou**
What are those things?
**[17:32] Kyou**
Plants?
**[17:33] Kyou**
Animals?
**[17:35] Kyou**
I mean, where did they even come from?!
**[17:38] Rekka**
You've never seen them before?
**[17:41] Rekka**
Then...
**[17:42] Rekka**
...I'll show you even more!
**[17:44] Rekka**

**[18:03] Rekka**
Now you can really show off your power!
**[18:06] Kaivant**
I thank you for that!
**[18:08] Rekka**
Go, my little Plants!
**[18:12] Kyou**
Stay away!
**[18:13] Left**
I'll handle this!
**[18:15] Kyou**
Left Arrester!
**[18:18] Rekka**
Now I'll go!
**[18:20] Kaivant**

**[19:08] Rekka**
Dandelion Musketeer, Mirkka!
**[19:12] MUSASHI**
Here I come!
**[19:17] ZANBAKU**
The final stroke!
**[19:20] Kyou**
It's a 32,000 power attack.
**[19:23] Rekka**
Watering Elf! Kaivant!
**[19:29] Kyou**
She blocked it?!
**[19:31] Rekka**
White Lily Musketeer, Cecilia...
**[19:34] Rekka**
Love-love...
**[19:35] Rekka**
...Ride!
**[19:40] Rekka**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[19:43] Rekka**

**[19:44] Rekka**
I superior call two

**[19:48] Rekka**

**[19:50] Rekka**
Drive check!
**[19:51] Rekka**
Love-love...
**[19:53] Rekka**
...Critical!
**[20:03] Kyou**
No trigger...
**[20:23] Rekka**
Now you've become a PSYqualia zombie, too.
**[20:25] Rekka**
How does it feel?
**[20:28] Kyou**
I feel like fighting like there's no tomorrow.
**[20:31] Rekka**
Then that's just what you should do.
**[20:34] Rekka**
Go up against the
strongest fighters you can find,
**[20:37] Rekka**
to help spread this power all across the world.
**[20:40] Kyou**
All right, I will.
**[20:49] Ren**
So I fight Asaka. What happens if I win?
**[20:53] Suiko**
If you win, she'll be released from my control.
**[20:58] Ren**
That's it?
**[20:59] Ren**
I didn't think it'd be that easy.
**[21:01] Ren**
So I just have to win.
**[21:04] Ren**
Let's fight, Asaka.
**[21:08] Suiko**
Will you be able to beat Asaka,
now that she's become a PSYqualia zombie?
**[21:13] Tetsu**
That's right.
**[21:14] Tetsu**
If Ren has already lost his PSYqualia...
**[21:19] Ren**
I'll be fine!
**[21:23] Ren**
Now...
**[21:24] Ren**
Come on, Asaka.
**[21:26] Asaka**
Ren...
**[21:29] Ren**
Let's have a Vanguard fight.
**[23:10] Takuto**
Hi there! I'm Concert Master, Takuto Tatsunagi!
**[23:13] Takuto**
And I'm Destiny Conductor, Takuto Tatsunagi!
Don't we look alike? In fact, we're twins!
**[23:17] Takuto**
He's lying, folks! Don't listen to him!
**[23:19] Takuto**
Hey, *you're* the Kazuya here.
*I'll* be the one taking you to Koshien.
**[23:22] Takuto**
Just who're you talking to?!
**[23:24] Takuto**
And now... "Delete End!"
**[23:25] Takuto**
You'll pay for that!
**[23:26] Suiko**
Takuto's doing his comedy duo routine again...
**[23:29] Suiko**
And his material is really lame!
**[23:31] Suiko**
All it does is leave me a "Cold Walker."
**[23:35] Takuto**
You'll be a "Scolded Walker" for that one.

Asaka feels her units' damage...
**[01:11] Tetsu**
That's a clear sign that she has PSYqualia!
**[01:15] Tetsu**
For someone to be given that power...
**[01:19] Tetsu**
Are you a god? Or a devil?!
**[01:25] Asaka**

Nah, I'll pass.
**[02:16] Ren**
Death Feather Eagle!
**[02:19] Suiko**
It's simply that, as a "rear-guard,"
I've been given one small ability.
**[02:24] Tetsu**
And that's the ability
to create PSYqualia zombies?
**[02:29] Suiko**
It seems that my Vanguard intends to
put all Vanguard fighters under his control.
**[02:34] Tetsu**
Your "Vanguard"?

I was hoping to ask him about Kourin.
**[06:53] Morikawa**
Huh?
**[06:54] Kyou**
Oh. So Sendou's not here?
**[06:58] Morikawa**
You a friend of Aichi's?
**[07:01] Kyou**
As if!
**[07:03] Kyou**
I just wanna fight someone strong.
**[07:06] Kyou**
Which one of you is the strongest fighter here?
**[07:09] Morikawa**
That'd be...
**[07:11] Morikawa**
...me, of course!
**[07:13] Kyou**
You?!
**[07:15] Izaki**
This is giving me deja vu...
**[07:18] Inenaga**
It's just giving me a bad feeling...
**[07:21] Kyou**
Well, whatever.
**[07:24] Kyou**
Let's fight.
**[07:31] Ren**
Are you okay, Asaka?
**[07:35] Suiko**
It seems her PSYqualia just showed her
the unhappy conclusion to this fight.
**[07:42] Asaka**
I call Jumping Jill to the Accel Circle
unleashed by Imaginary Gift.
**[07:48] Asaka**
Here I come, Ren.
**[07:53] Asaka**
Pale Breath!
**[07:55] Asaka**
Drive check.
**[07:57] Tetsu**
A critical trigger?!
**[08:00] Asaka**
Second check!
**[08:03] Asaka**
Second... check...
**[08:08] Ren**
It's okay, Asaka.
**[08:11] Ren**
Draw it.
**[08:15] Asaka**
Critical trigger!
**[08:17] Tetsu**
A double critical?!
**[08:24] Asaka**
Finish him off, Jill!
**[08:34] Izaki**
Morikawa!
**[08:35] Inenaga**
Morikawa!
**[08:37] Kyou**
You should be grateful.
**[08:39] Kyou**
Now you also possess a special power.
**[08:42] The Two**
A special... power?
**[08:45] Morikawa**
Yeah, I can feel it.
**[08:47] Morikawa**
I've gotten crazy strong.
**[08:52] Morikawa**
I'll share the power with you guys, too.
**[08:55] Morikawa**
So, come on! Fight me!
**[08:59] Ren**
Dark Shield, Mac Lir!
**[09:03] Suiko**
A perfect guard.
**[09:05] Suiko**
You couldn't take him down, huh?
**[09:07] Tetsu**
However...
**[09:09] Tetsu**
even though Asaka
is clearly exhibiting PSYqualia,
**[09:13] Tetsu**
there's no sign of Ren using his in response!
**[09:16] Tetsu**
Ren's PSYqualia must really be...
**[09:21] Asaka**
Ren!
**[09:23] Asaka**
I'm so sorry.
**[09:25] Ren**
Asaka, are you able
to see this fight in your head?
**[09:30] Asaka**
No...
**[09:32] Asaka**
Don't! Don't!
**[09:35] Asaka**
Y-Yes...
**[09:39] Asaka**
Right now, I see...
**[09:46] Ren**
Suiko Tatsunagi!
**[09:49] Ren**
How dare you make my cute friend
show me a face like this!
**[09:54] Ren**
I'm going to take you on directly.
**[09:57] Ren**
Prepare yourself.
**[10:01] Ren**
Asaka, here I come.
**[10:05] Asaka**
Don't, Ren!
**[10:07] Asaka**
I saw what will happen!
**[10:11] Ren**
Born from the dark abyss,
**[10:13] Ren**
a maelstrom of power gone amok takes form...
**[10:17] Ren**
I ride!
**[10:25] Ren**
Phantom Blaster Dragon!
**[10:28] Asaka**
Ren is now riding Phantom Blaster Dragon...
**[10:34] Asaka**
That's how I saw him losing!
**[10:48] Misaki**
Get your head on straight.
**[10:50] Misaki**
You're not old enough to be senile.
**[10:52] Shin**
Sorry about that.
**[10:54] Kamui**
Misaki! Manager!
**[10:57] Shin**
Kamui!
**[10:59] Kamui**
Out shopping?
**[11:00] Misaki**
Yes.
**[11:01] Misaki**
We're just on our way back to Capital.
**[11:03] Kamui**
I'll come with you.
**[11:09] Shin**
We're back!
**[11:14] Misaki**
Something's strange!
**[11:19] Izaki**
We've acquired a power...
**[11:23] Inenaga**
An awesome power...
**[11:24] Kamui**
Wh-What happened?!
**[11:26] Morikawa**
Hey there, Kamui. Let's fight.
**[11:30] Morikawa**
Something tells me I'll win this time...
**[11:32] Kyou**
Wait a second.
**[11:37] Kamui**
You're Kyou!
**[11:38] Kyou**
Finally, a halfway-decent fighter.
**[11:41] Kyou**
I'll fight him. Got it?
**[11:45] Morikawa**
Sure thing... Kyou...
**[11:48] Misaki**
So you're the one
who's responsible for their change.
**[11:52] Kyou**
That's right.
**[11:53] Kyou**
I passed my infectious power to them,
**[11:56] Kyou**
turning them into PSYqualia zombies.
**[11:58] Misaki**
PSYqualia...
**[12:00] Shin**
...zombies?!
**[12:01] Kamui**
Turn everyone back to normal!
**[12:03] Kyou**
Sure, if you can beat me.
**[12:05] Kamui**
All right! You're on!
**[12:09] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[12:13] Asaka**
I can't! I can't!
**[12:18] Ren**
Asaka...
**[12:20] Ren**
It's okay to fight me
to the best of your ability.
**[12:22] Ren**
Don't be afraid.
**[12:24] Ren**
I'm going to...
**[12:27] Suiko**
It can't be...!
**[12:32] Ren**
I'm going to beat you.
**[12:34] Tetsu**
He says he's going to beat her?! Then...
**[12:37] Suiko**
Then he really was hiding it.
**[12:40] Suiko**
His PSYqualia!
**[12:47] Asaka**
Ren...
**[12:49] Ren**
So this is what I look like
in your imagination, Asaka?
**[12:54] Asaka**
It's because you're the head of Team Asteroid.
**[12:58] Ren**
But aren't you a year ahead of me at school?
**[13:02] Asaka**
That has nothing to do with this!
**[13:05] Asaka**
Ren, ever since the day we first met...
**[13:12] Asaka**
No, Ren!
**[13:14] Asaka**
I don't want you to see my vulgar thoughts!
**[13:18] Ren**
Okay, I won't look.
**[13:21] Ren**
You're scared, aren't you, Asaka?
**[13:23] Ren**
Having that ability foisted upon you...
**[13:26] Ren**
Being forced to fight me...
**[13:29] Ren**
You don't want to, right?
**[13:31] Ren**
But it's okay.
**[13:33] Ren**
This fight will end soon.
**[13:36] Ren**
I call The Dark Dictator!
**[13:39] Ren**
Next, I call Skull Witch, Nemain!
**[13:42] Ren**
I call Blaster Javelin!
**[13:45] Asaka**
Yes...
**[13:47] Asaka**
It's going to end...
**[13:49] Asaka**
Doesn't Ren see it, too?
**[13:53] Asaka**
This image of his defeat...
**[13:57] Ren**
Skill activates!
**[13:58] Ren**
I superior call Nemain from my deck!
**[14:04] Ren**
Here I come.
**[14:08] Ren**
Damned Charging Lance!
**[14:16] Asaka**
Hoop Magicians!
**[14:17] Asaka**
Dynamite Juggler!
**[14:19] Ren**
Drive check.
**[14:21] Ren**
Draw trigger.
**[14:22] Ren**
Second check.
**[14:24] Ren**
Critical trigger.
**[14:26] Suiko**
But it's no use.
**[14:27] Suiko**
No matter how many triggers you draw,
**[14:29] Suiko**
Phantom Blaster Dragon's
attack won't go through.
**[14:32] Ren**
I give all of the effects to The Dark Dictator!
**[14:46] Suiko**
My, that was close!
**[14:48] Suiko**
But that's Asaka for you.
**[14:50] Suiko**
She's skillful with damage control.
**[14:53] Tetsu**
Ren...
**[14:55] Tetsu**
Are you still no match for Asaka as she is now,
even after reviving your PSYqualia?
**[15:01] Suiko**
Now it's Asaka's turn!
**[15:06] Asaka**
If I place this unit...
**[15:08] Asaka**
...then Ren will...
**[15:09] Ren**
Asaka!
**[15:12] Ren**
Even in that form,
**[15:13] Ren**
you're still a beautiful Vanguard fighter.
**[15:17] Ren**
Don't show me an ugly fight!
**[15:22] Asaka**
Okay, Ren!
**[15:24] Asaka**
And now, I proudly present the dragon
who will be performing our final act.
**[15:32] Asaka**
I ride!
**[15:43] Asaka**
Gun Salute Dragon, End of Stage!
**[15:46] Asaka**
Once Gun Salute Dragon's gun fires,
**[15:48] Asaka**
that will spell the end of this fight!
**[15:52] Asaka**
Its skill activates!
**[15:53] Asaka**
You can't use a perfect guard
against End of Stage's attack!
**[15:57] Asaka**
Hoop Magician! Midnight Bunny!
**[16:00] Asaka**
Midnight Bunny attacks!
**[16:02] Ren**
I guard with Death Feather Eagle!
**[16:05] Asaka**
Hoop Magician attacks!
**[16:07] Ren**
I guard with Darkside Trumpeter!
**[16:09] Suiko**
She took your guarding into account.
**[16:12] Suiko**
All the better to reduce your hand.
**[16:14] Asaka**
End of Stage attacks!
**[16:17] Ren**
I block with Abyss Healer!
**[16:19] Tetsu**
So he averted it...
**[16:21] Suiko**
Are you sure?
**[16:24] Asaka**
No...
**[16:26] Asaka**
I'm sorry, Ren!
**[16:28] Asaka**
Since there are no cards in my Soul
at the end of this battle...
**[16:37] Asaka**
I can now restand End of Stage.
**[16:44] Asaka**
This is the gun salute
that will signal the final curtain!
**[16:53] Asaka**
Eject From The Stage!
**[17:02] Asaka**
Drive check!
**[17:05] Asaka**
Second check!
**[17:07] Asaka**
Critical trigger!
**[17:08] Suiko**
There it is! A critical!
**[17:10] Tetsu**
Wh-What?!
**[17:13] Asaka**
It's all happening just as I saw it...
**[17:17] Kamui**
Damage check!
**[17:19] Kamui**
No trigger!
**[17:21] Kamui**
I lose...
**[17:27] Shin**
Kamui!
**[17:29] Kyou**
Now he's a PSYqualia zombie, too.
**[17:34] Kyou**
But *he's* not here yet.
Still at school, maybe?
**[17:38] Kyou**
I suppose I'll just have go to him.
**[17:42] Kyou**
I'm leaving the rest here to you.
**[17:44] Kamui**
Gotcha... Kyou...
**[17:48] Kamui**
Now, then...
**[17:51] Ren**
Damage check!
**[17:57] Ren**
You've been bound by those images, Asaka.
**[18:07] Suiko**
A heal trigger?!
**[18:10] Ren**
PSYqualia may show you intense images...
**[18:16] Ren**
Wh-What is this?!
**[18:24] Aichi**
Exculpate the Blaster!
**[18:29] Ren**
My image is being overwritten!
**[18:35] Ren**
...but as I learned before,
those images aren't absolute.
**[18:40] Ren**
That's right. Fate isn't set in stone.
**[18:44] Ren**
Once our images intersect,
**[18:47] Ren**
a new fate, and a new image, are born.
**[18:57] Asaka**
A new image... is born...?
**[19:01] Ren**
Damage check.
**[19:04] Tetsu**
A heal trigger!
**[19:05] Suiko**
A double heal trigger?!
**[19:08] Ren**
Asaka...
**[19:09] Ren**
The images from here on out
will reveal our new fate.
**[19:14] Ren**
Here I come.
**[19:15] Asaka**
I'm ready!
**[19:20] Ren**
Born from the highest grade of terror,
**[19:23] Ren**
an embodiment of fear takes form...
**[19:26] Ren**
I ride!
**[19:28] Ren**
Gust Blaster Dragon!
**[19:32] Asaka**
I never saw Ren like this
in any of my previous images!
**[19:37] Asaka**
This must be the new fate that he's showing me!
**[19:41] Ren**
I call!
**[19:44] Ren**
With its skill, I draw one card.
**[19:47] Ren**
I call!
**[19:50] Ren**
I call!
**[19:51] Ren**
Blaster that I've put into my Soul,
lend me your power...
**[19:56] Ren**
Skill activates!
**[19:59] Tetsu**
That makes...
**[20:00] Suiko**
...four criticals?!
**[20:02] Ren**
Now, banish the curse that haunts Asaka!
**[20:05] Asaka**
Stand firm against Ren's marvelous playing...
**[20:08] Asaka**
Purple Trapezist! Dynamite Juggler!
**[20:12] Ren**
Here I come, Asaka.
**[20:15] Ren**
Drive check!
**[20:17] Ren**
A double critical.
**[20:19] Suiko**
What?!
**[20:21] Suiko**
That makes six criticals!
**[20:24] Ren**
Gust Blast Stream!
**[20:42] Asaka**
Our next fight...
**[20:45] Asaka**
...should be back to normal, right?
**[20:58] Ren**
Asaka!
**[21:02] Ren**
Thank goodness.
**[21:04] Ren**
You've been freed from PSYqualia, Asaka.
**[21:11] Suiko**
Impressive as always, Ren.
**[21:14] Ren**
My next opponent will be you.
**[21:27] Miwa**
Heya!
**[21:29] Kai**
What's wrong?
**[21:30] Misaki**
Kai! Miwa!
**[21:32] Kamui**
Perfect timing.
**[21:34] Kamui**
Fight me, Toshiki Kai!
**[23:10] Ren**
Tetsu, what's bothering you?
**[23:12] Tetsu**
I found these cards in my pocket.
How do I play with them?
**[23:16] Ren**
That's a Vanguard deck!
**[23:18] Ren**
Here, first you cut the cards.
**[23:20] Tetsu**
Cut the cards...
**[23:22] Ren**
Not with scissors! I meant shuffle them!
**[23:24] Tetsu**
Shampoo them?
**[23:25] Ren**
No, stop!
**[23:26] Ren**
Now that your deck's ready,
draw five cards from the top...
**[23:29] Tetsu**
Five cards...
**[23:31] Ren**
I said "draw," not "claw"!
**[23:33] Tetsu**
By the way...
**[23:34] Tetsu**
...isn't it almost dinnertime?

**[00:04] Ren**
My next opponent will be you.
**[00:12] Ren**
First I'll see that Asaka gets some rest.
**[00:14] Ren**
Tetsu, you carry her.
**[00:16] Tetsu**
Right.
**[00:20] Ren**
Make way, you jerks!
**[00:24] Ren**
I'll never forgive you for doing this to Asaka!
**[00:30] Ren**
Tetsu, let's go.
**[00:34] Ren**
Run!
**[00:38] Ren**
See you!
**[00:45] Tetsu**
Ren, is it okay to just leave Suiko like that?!
**[00:49] Ren**
Asaka is back to normal,
so that's good enough for me!
**[00:52] Ren**
Those PSYqualia zombies
and such are too much of a pain!
**[00:58] Tetsu**
You're something else...
**[01:06] Miwa**
Heya!
**[01:08] Kai**
What's wrong?
**[01:10] Misaki**
Kai! Miwa!
**[01:11] Kamui**
Perfect timing.
**[01:13] Kamui**
Fight me, Toshiki Kai!
**[01:20] Takuto**
It is my destiny to bring
all Vanguard fighters under my control!
**[01:26] Aichi**
Our imaginations will surpass that destiny!
**[01:29] Kouji**
Not so fast!
**[01:31] Kouji**
I'm going to Delete End all of you.
***SIGN*** Image 39 True Strength
**[03:09] Kamui**
All right, fight me!
**[03:11] Kamui**
I get the feeling nobody
can beat the Great Kamui now.
**[03:17] Miwa**
Hey, something's strange about him...
**[03:20] Kai**
Yes, I know.
**[03:22] Misaki**
Right now, Kamui is a PSYqualia zombie!
**[03:25] The Two**
A what?!
**[03:26] Miwa**
"PSYqualia"...
**[03:27] Miwa**
Isn't that the weird
psychic ability Aichi and Ren used?
**[03:32] Miwa**
But he's zombified?!
**[03:34] Miwa**
Don't tell me something bit him!
**[03:36] Misaki**
It seems if you lose a fight with one,
**[03:38] Misaki**
you get infected
with PSYqualia, like it or not.
**[03:42] Misaki**
That's what happened to them!
**[03:44] Inenaga**
"Infected"!? You say that like it's a bad thing!
**[03:47] Izaki**
We'll share it with you guys, too!
**[03:49] Morikawa**
It's literally the strongest power there is.
**[03:52] Miwa**
You guys...
**[03:53] Kai**
Fine. I'll play against all of you.
**[03:57] Misaki**
Kai!
**[03:58] Shin**
Wait a moment!
**[04:00] Shin**
They all have PSYqualia!
**[04:02] Shin**
What if you end up losing to them, too?
**[04:05] Kai**
I won't lose!
**[04:09] Morikawa**
Kai's our opponent, huh?!
**[04:11] Morikawa**
Lemme take him on first!
**[04:14] Izaki**
No, me first!
**[04:15] Inenaga**
Me!
**[04:17] Kamui**
Hold it, you dopes!
**[04:19] Kai**
Kamui! You're first.
**[04:23] Kai**
The rest of you come later.
**[04:25] Kai**
Wait patiently for now.
**[04:28] Kai**
Come on!
**[04:29] Kamui**
Now you're talking!
**[04:39] Kamui**
I've always wanted to kick your butt!
**[04:43] Kamui**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[04:43] Kai**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[04:50] Kai**
I ride!
**[04:54] Kai**
Lizard Runner, Undeux!
**[04:57] Kamui**
Awesome!
**[04:59] Kamui**
The Great Kamui's on the planet Cray!
**[05:03] Kamui**
Beast Deity, White Tiger!
**[05:07] Kamui**
I ride!
**[05:10] Kai**
Sabel Dragonewt!
**[05:16] Kamui**

Beast Deity, Scarlet Bird!
**[05:21] Kamui**
Here I come!
**[05:27] Kai**
I ride Dragon Full-armored Buster!
**[05:30] Kai**
To me, Dragonic Neoflame!
**[05:33] Neoflame**
At your will!
**[05:36] Kai**
Go!
**[05:41] Kai**
Good job.
**[05:46] Kamui**
Well, I know what to do.
**[05:50] Kai**
Drive check!
**[05:52] Kai**
A critical trigger!
**[05:55] Shin**
But that attack won't go through.
**[06:03] Miwa**
He anticipated that trigger when he guarded?!
**[06:07] Shin**
So it seems.
**[06:09] Shin**
What a convenient power! Maybe I'll just--
**[06:14] Shin**
Ow!
**[06:17] Kamui**
So what do you think of my power, Kai?
**[06:23] Kamui**
Here I go!
**[06:24] Kamui**
The Super-Mega-Great Kamui rides!
**[06:29] Kamui**
Beast Deity, Black Tortoise!
**[06:36] Kamui**
Get out here, Burstraizer!

Scarlet Bird!
**[06:39] Kamui**

**[06:42] Misaki**
He deployed all of those at once!
**[06:44] Miwa**
Please make it, Kai!
**[06:48] Kamui**
Commencing Raizer Twin Attack!
**[06:59] Kamui**
Yeah! Let's go, Scarlet Bird!
**[07:04] Kamui**
You're mine!
**[07:05] Kai**
Genjo!
**[07:07] Genjo**
Leave it to me!
**[07:14] Kai**
Well done.
**[07:15] Genjo**
Anything for you, my Vanguard.
**[07:19] Kamui**
Then let's do it once more!
**[07:21] Kamui**
Burstraizer!
**[07:24] Kai**
Rakshasa!
**[07:26] Rakshasa**
Flame Wall!
**[07:31] Kamui**
I'm impressed you blocked that.
**[07:35] Shin**
That's Kai for you.
**[07:37] Shin**
He's even able to deal with
a PSYqualia-wielding Kamui.
**[07:42] Shin**
I don't think Kamui realizes that, though.
**[07:45] Kamui**
Go on! It's your turn now!
**[07:48] Kamui**
Come and get me!
**[07:51] Kai**
Ride The Vanguard!
**[08:04] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord!

Lizard Soldier, Raopia!
**[08:30] Kai**
Berserk Dragon's skill!
**[08:36] Kai**
I retire Transraizer!
**[08:40] Kai**
Go, Berserk Dragon!
**[08:43] Raopia**
That's the signal to counterattack!
**[08:45] Raopia**
I'm raring to go!
**[08:53] Kai**
Here I come!
**[08:55] Kai**
Twin drive!
**[08:57] Kai**
First check.
**[08:58] Kai**
Second check.
**[09:00] Kai**
Critical trigger!
**[09:02] Kai**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
**[09:19] Kamui**
That kinda attack won't stop me!
**[09:23] Kai**
Skill activates!
**[09:26] Kai**
Stand, Overlord!
**[09:31] Kai**
Burning Neoflame!
**[09:38] Kamui**
It ain't over yet!
**[09:42] Kai**
I don't want to fight you.
**[09:45] Kamui**
You're complaining *now*?!
**[09:47] Kai**
That's what your fighting is saying to me.
**[09:55] Kamui**
Don't make me laugh!
**[10:00] Kamui**
I can see it already.
**[10:05] Kamui**
Your Overlord, all beaten to a pulp!
**[10:10] Kai**
We'll see whether that image is genuine or not!
**[10:15] Misaki**
Kai may be trying to
teach Kamui an important lesson.
**[10:20] Misaki**
That Kamui is strong, even without PSYqualia!
**[10:25] Kamui**
Here I come!
**[10:26] Kamui**
The Super-Mega-Ultra-Great Kamui rides!
**[10:30] Kamui**
Beast Deity, Azure Dragon!
**[10:34] Kamui**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[10:41] Kamui**
Azure Dragon's skill!
**[10:43] Kamui**
I draw one card,
**[10:45] Kamui**
and superior call Black Tortoise from my hand!
**[10:50] Kamui**
Extra attack!
**[10:54] Miwa**
What?!
**[10:55] Miwa**
He's attacking during the main phase?!
**[11:00] Kamui**
Once more! Extra attack!
**[11:11] Kamui**
How'd ya like that?!
**[11:12] Kamui**
Nobody can beat me when I've got PSYqualia!
**[11:15] Kamui**
Let's go, ya guys!
**[11:24] Kamui**
Skill activates! I stand Black Tortoise!
**[11:29] Kai**
No guard!
**[11:30] Kamui**

First check!
**[11:33] Kamui**
Second check!
**[11:35] Kamui**
Front trigger!
**[11:36] Kamui**
All my front row units get +10,000 power!
**[11:45] Kamui**
Soon... Soon, my image's gonna be...
**[11:50] Kamui**
Boomerang Thrower attacks your Vanguard!
**[11:57] Kai**
Guard!
**[11:58] Kai**
Intercept!
**[12:03] Kai**
Don't be fooled, Kamui!
**[12:05] Kamui**
Shut up!
**[12:06] Kamui**
I'll finish you off with this!
**[12:10] Kai**
Tahr! Rakshasa!
**[12:16] Miwa**
Yes! He blocked it!
**[12:19] Kamui**
I... I don't believe it!
**[12:22] Kamui**
Then, what about the image I saw?!
**[12:25] Kamui**
What about this power?
**[12:27] Kai**
That power is not your strength.
**[12:30] Kai**
Strength is...
**[12:32] Kai**
...something you get with your own efforts.
**[12:36] Kai**
Dance among the flames...
**[12:38] Kai**
...and rise to the challenge!
**[12:40] Kai**
I ride!
**[12:49] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord the Great!
**[12:53] Kamui**
Overlord the Great?!
**[12:57] Kai**
This is my new form.
**[12:59] Kai**
You, satisfied with using just
the power someone gave to you...
**[13:03] Kai**
...can't even come close to my imagination!
**[13:08] Kai**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[13:17] Kai**
The Great's skill!
**[13:19] Kai**
I superior call Dragonic Neoflame!
**[13:23] Kai**
To me, Aermo!
**[13:26] Kai**
Take this! Burning Neoflame!
**[13:32] Kamui**
Black Tortoise!
**[13:34] Kai**
The Great attacks your Vanguard!
**[13:38] Kai**
Neoflame, lend me your strength!
**[13:44] Kamui**
Like I'm gonna lose!
**[13:46] Kamui**
Turboraizer! Boomerang Thrower!
**[13:53] Kai**
Skill activates!
**[13:54] Kai**
I stand The Great and Neoflame!
**[13:58] Kai**
The Great attacks!
**[14:03] Kamui**
No guard!
**[14:05] Kai**
Drive check!
**[14:06] Kai**
I got a critical trigger!
**[14:09] Kai**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
**[14:26] Kamui**
Kai, you...
**[14:30] Kamui**
Why'd you have to do that?
**[14:42] Kamui**
What was that for?!
**[14:44] Kamui**
Huh?
**[14:45] Kamui**
What was I just doing?
**[14:47] Misaki**
It looks like you're not a zombie anymore.
**[14:50] Shin**
Nope. Apparently they go back
to normal if they lose a fight.
**[14:56] Kamui**
That's right!
**[14:58] Kamui**
I was fighting... and then...
**[15:02] Kamui**
Kai...
**[15:06] Shin**
Is something wrong, Kamui?
**[15:09] Shin**
The restroom is over there.
**[15:10] Kamui**
No! That's not it!
**[15:14] Kamui**
He did kinda... save me there... so, um...
**[15:20] Miwa**
Don't worry about it!
**[15:22] Miwa**
This guy isn't used to
that sorta treatment, anyway.
**[15:27] Misaki**
Sheesh.
**[15:30] Kamui**
A man's gotta take
responsibility for his mistakes!
**[15:33] Kamui**
So, uh... th...
**[15:36] Kamui**
Th... thank... you...
**[15:39] Kai**
I don't need any thanks.
**[15:41] Kai**
You just owe me one.
**[15:43] Kamui**
Why, you...!
**[15:45] Kai**
I'm going to cash it in right now.
**[15:47] Kamui**
Huh?
**[15:49] The Three**
Fight us... Fight us...!
**[15:53] The Three**
Fight us... Fight us...!
**[15:54] Kamui**
Fine by me!
**[15:56] Kamui**
I'll take on all ya guys!
**[15:59] Kamui**
Your opponent is the Great Kamui Katsuragi!
**[16:15] Kouji**
Delete End!
**[16:20] Kouji**
For crying out loud...
**[16:21] Kouji**
What's going on today?!
**[16:25] Kouji**
People randomly picking fights with me...
**[16:30] Bidou**
I couldn't find Ren and
the other two in the south wing!
**[16:32] Kawanami**
They're not in the west wing, either.
**[16:35] Suiko**
That's fine.
**[16:37] Suiko**
The rest of Fukuhara's
Vanguard fighters are under my control.
**[16:40] Suiko**
No, wait. There's still one more person...
**[16:46] Kouji**
Does this belong to you?
**[16:49] Suiko**
Kouji Ibuki...
**[16:52] Kouji**
I see.
**[16:54] Kouji**
So you're the ringleader...
**[16:56] Kouji**
...Suiko Tatsunagi.
**[16:59] Suiko**
And what if I am?
**[17:03] Kouji**
I don't care about what you're doing,
**[17:06] Kouji**
but your drones are a major pain.
**[17:09] Suiko**
What a coincidence.
I feel the same about you.
**[17:13] Suiko**
After my Vanguard let you go free,
**[17:15] Suiko**
you proceeded to wreak havoc.
**[17:19] Kouji**
I don't care about Takuto's ambitions, either.
**[17:22] Kouji**
The only person I obey is myself!
**[17:25] Suiko**
Is that so?
**[17:26] Suiko**
Then I'm afraid I'll have to
take away your freedom.
**[17:32] Suiko**
Takuto, I promise to capture Kouji Ibuki.
**[17:35] Kouji**
What a pain in the neck...
**[17:38] Kouji**
I'll delete you, too.
**[17:42] Suiko**
Just so you know,
I never liked you from the start.
**[17:48] Kouji**
The feeling is mutual.
**[17:56] Takuto**
I didn't ask her to do that.
**[18:03] Kouji**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[18:03] Suiko**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[18:07] Kamui**
Beast Deity, Azure Dragon!
**[18:11] Kamui**
The Great Kamui rides!
**[18:19] Morikawa**
Bring it on!
**[18:21] Kamui**
On my way!
**[18:22] Kamui**
Here's my secret weapon!
**[18:24] Kamui**
Finish Hold!
**[18:26] Morikawa**
I saw that coming!
**[18:28] Morikawa**
Guard!
**[18:32] Kamui**
I got a front trigger!
**[18:50] Kamui**
Aw yeah! Justice wins the day!
**[18:55] Miwa**
Nice fight!
**[18:56] Kamui**
Miwa!
**[18:58] Miwa**
You beat all three! Not too shabby!
**[19:00] Izaki**
I'm sorry, Kamui.
**[19:02] Inenaga**
Me too...
**[19:05] Kamui**
It's all good!
**[19:10] Kai**
That was a good fight, for you.
**[19:15] Kamui**
You've always gotta
get in that little dig at the end!
**[19:23] Kamui**
Misaki!
**[19:26] Misaki**
Oh...

**[19:43] Kamui**
The Great Kamui

The path of evil?!

Now that you mention it...

I like you much better quiet.
**[21:25] Kouji**
I'll get rid of them all.
**[21:27] Kouji**
All Vanguard fighters...
**[21:29] Kouji**
...and even detestable Vanguard itself!
**[23:10] Kamui**
Aw, man!
**[23:12] Kamui**
When I think about it, it might've
been more fun for me to stay a zombie!
**[23:16] Kai**
Are you serious?
**[23:18] Kamui**
I mean, just think about zombie life!
**[23:20] Kamui**
Mornings of playing Vanguard in bed.
**[23:22] Kamui**
Afternoons of playing Vanguard in the bathroom!
**[23:24] Kamui**
Nights of playing Vanguard in the bath!
**[23:26] Kamui**
It's a life devoted to Vanguard, 24/7!
**[23:29] Kai**
Are you really sure you want that?
**[23:31] Kamui**
Yeah, why?
**[23:33] Kai**
Imagine it.

Really?
**[01:53] Ren**
So this shop was also attacked
by PSYqualia zombies...
**[01:59] Kamui**
Yeah.
**[02:02] Tetsu**
Then it's true.
**[02:04] Tetsu**
Suiko was telling the truth.
**[02:07] Suiko**
It seems that my Vanguard intends to
put all Vanguard fighters under his control.
**[02:14] Miwa**
Wh-What?!
**[02:16] Ren**
What are you so excited about...
**[02:18] Ren**
Er...
**[02:19] Ren**
Biwa?
**[02:21] Miwa**
It's Miwa!
**[02:22] Misaki**
I get it.
**[02:23] Misaki**
You're a Suiko fan, right?
**[02:25] Miwa**
Yeah...
**[02:26] Ren**
Hey, Misa-Q...
**[02:28] Misaki**
Don't call me that creepy nickname!
**[02:30] Ren**
The one who goes to your school... um...
**[02:34] Misaki**
Kourin Tatsunagi.
**[02:35] Ren**
Right! From ULTRARARE.
**[02:37] Ren**
How is she?
**[02:39] Misaki**
She was absent today.
**[02:41] Ren**
Is that right?
**[02:43] Asaka**
Misaki Tokura...
**[02:45] Asaka**
If you do see her again soon,
**[02:47] Asaka**
you mustn't have a Cardfight with her.
**[02:49] Asaka**
It's possible that even you wouldn't win.
**[02:53] Misaki**
Thank you. I'll be careful.
**[03:01] Aichi**
Hello, Misaki?
**[03:03] Aichi**
Yes... Yes...
**[03:06] Aichi**
Yes, I understand. See you in a bit.
**[03:09] Naoki**
What's up?
**[03:11] Aichi**
She said she needs to talk to us about Kourin.
**[03:13] Aichi**
We're supposed to go to Capital.
**[03:19] Morikawa**
Kourin's connected with all this, too?!
**[03:22] Tetsu**
Since Takuto Tatsunagi is the ringleader,
**[03:24] Tetsu**
it would be a stretch
to assume she has no connection.
**[03:29] Shingo**
What could she want to tell us about Kourin?
**[03:33] Kyou**
Hey.
**[03:34] Aichi**
Aren't you...
**[03:37] Kyou**
You're late, Aichi Sendou!
**[03:39] Naoki**
What's with him?
**[03:41] Shingo**
What's your problem?
**[03:42] Aichi**
I remember you...
**[03:44] Aichi**
The other member of Ren's Team Asteroid...
**[03:47] Kyou**
It's Kyou!
**[03:48] Aichi**
Oh, sorry, Kyou!
**[03:51] Kyou**
It's been a while, so I came to challenge you.
**[03:54] Kyou**
Follow me.
**[03:55] Aichi**
I... have something to do...
**[03:59] Kyou**
This won't take long.
**[04:01] Aichi**
But...
**[04:02] Naoki**
Aw, why not, Aichi?
We can spare a couple minutes.
**[04:05] Shingo**
That's true.
**[04:06] Shingo**
We can stop by Capital afterwards.
**[04:13] Kourin**
They mustn't go with him!
**[04:22] Kamui**
I'm getting a bad feeling...
**[04:25] Kamui**
I'll go meet Brother Aichi at the school!
**[04:32] Shin**
Taking control of all Vanguard fighters?
**[04:35] Shin**
It sounds ridiculous,
**[04:37] Shin**
but if he uses PSYqualia zombies,
then I suppose that's possible.
**[04:41] Asaka**
Once you become a PSYqualia zombie,
**[04:43] Asaka**
you feel an overpowering urge to
beat fighters who haven't been infected yet.
**[04:47] Morikawa**
That's how it was with me.
**[04:49] The Two**
Yeah.
**[04:51] Asaka**
I-I'm so sorry, Ren!
**[04:54] Ren**
It's fine, Asaka.
**[04:57] Tetsu**
But I suppose it shows how strong PSYqualia is.
**[05:00] Tetsu**
It was a struggle for Ren,
who already possessed it.
**[05:03] Kai**
Ren! You...
**[05:06] Kai**
You're still using PSYqualia?
**[05:12] Ren**
I lost interest after that one time,
**[05:14] Ren**
so I hadn't been using it, until now.
**[05:17] Ren**
It's been a while.
**[05:19] Ren**
How about it, Kai?
**[05:22] Ren**
Want to experience it again?
**[05:25] Miwa**
Wh-Why, you...
**[05:31] Tetsu**
Ren.
**[05:33] Miwa**
K-Kai. It would be like back then...
**[05:37] Kai**
I'll pass.
**[05:39] Kai**
I don't think I'd stand a chance.
**[05:41] Ren**
Aww, really? Too bad.
**[05:42] Tetsu**
Tch.
**[05:43] Ren**
Tetsu...
**[05:45] Tetsu**
Oh, sorry!

Ren and I will be staying with you.
**[06:05] Tetsu**
You live alone, so it should be fine.

H-Hold on!
**[06:11] Ren**
It'll be fun, Kai!
**[06:12] Tetsu**
Misaki Tokura.
**[06:13] Tetsu**
I can't bring myself to have a girl
stay in an apartment full of guys.
**[06:17] Tetsu**
Is it all right if Asaka stays with you?
**[06:20] Kai**
Hey, wait!
**[06:20] Kai**
Why does it have to be my place?!
**[06:23] Misaki**
That's fine with me...
**[06:23] Kai**
I've only got one bed! Hold on!
**[06:25] Tetsu**
Sorry.
**[06:27] Kai**
Don't assume that I've agreed to this, Tetsu!
**[06:29] Tetsu**
You always were a bit of a neat freak.
**[06:32] Tetsu**
You may not like having company stay over,
**[06:35] Tetsu**
but it's an emergency, so just this once.
**[06:38] Kai**
Nooo!
**[06:43] Kyou**
Why are you two coming, too?
**[06:46] Kyou**
All I need is Sendou!
**[06:47] Naoki**
It's fun watchin' a runt like you
pick a quarrel with Aichi.
**[06:51] Shingo**
I enjoy getting to see the surprising people
in Sendou's circle of acquaintances.
**[06:58] Kyou**
Fine, do what you want.
**[06:59] Shingo**
That's what I was going to do!
**[06:59] Naoki**
That's the idea!
**[07:02] Kyou**
My target is Sendou's PSYqualia.
**[07:06] Kyou**
Whose PSYqualia is stronger, mine or his?
**[07:11] Kyou**
I aim to find out.
**[07:16] Kamui**
That's strange...
**[07:17] Kamui**
Where's Brother Aichi and the other guys?
**[07:20] Kamui**
Excuse me!
***SIGN*** Cardfight Club
**[07:23] Naito**
"Cardfight Club"?
**[07:25] Naito**
Do we have a club like that
here at Miyaji Academy?
**[07:29] Maki**
You recently gave it
official approval, President.
**[07:32] Naito**
Oh, yes! Of course I remember it!
**[07:34] Itsuki**

**[07:36] Itsuki**
I saw the Cardfight Club members.
**[07:38] Itsuki**
I believe they were walking home
from school with someone.
**[07:41] Kamui**
Who?! Who was it?!
**[07:43] Itsuki**
I think he was wearing
a Fukuhara Middle School uniform.
**[07:47] Kamui**
Fukuhara Middle School...
**[07:48] Kamui**
Kyou!
**[07:49] Kamui**
Does he mean to turn even
Brother Aichi into a PSYqualia zombie?!
**[07:53] Kamui**
Thank you!
**[08:00] Kamui**
I'll just have to check for them
at all the nearby shops!
**[08:09] Kyou**
This'll work, right?
**[08:34] Aichi**
Kyou, what is this about?
**[08:36] Kyou**
That's what I'd like to know!
**[08:38] Kyou**
Did you guys gain the power, too?
**[08:40] Kyou**
PSYqualia?
**[08:43] Aichi**
They gained PSYqualia?!
**[08:45] Naoki**
What's that, Aichi?
**[08:46] Naoki**
"Ice-Cool-Rhino"?
**[08:48] Kyou**
Not you, too?!
**[08:51] Kamui**
Did I catch a cold?!
**[08:53] Kamui**
Well anyway, I've gotta get moving!
**[08:56] Aichi**
PSYqualia is...
**[08:59] Aichi**
I don't really know much about it myself.
**[09:02] Aichi**
It has something to do with gaining
cognitive expansion and increased sensitivity,
**[09:06] Aichi**
in addition to powerful intuition and insight,
**[09:09] Aichi**
as well as linkages to the residents of
the planet Cray depicted on the cards,
**[09:13] Aichi**
and even the capability
to predict the flow of the fight.
**[09:17] Aichi**
At least, that's what Tetsu said.
**[09:19] Naoki**
Hey, I didn't get any of that!
**[09:21] Shingo**
I'm thoroughly in agreement...
**[09:24] Aichi**
So these people possess PSYqualia, too?
**[09:27] Kyou**
Not just them.
**[09:28] Kyou**
I do, too.
**[09:30] Aichi**
Even you, Kyou?! But how?!
**[09:32] Rekka**
Because I gave it to them, how else?
**[09:39] Shingo**
You're--!
**[09:41] Shingo**
Rekka!
**[09:43] Rekka**
Howdy!
**[09:44] Rekka**
Huh?
**[09:45] Rekka**
Kyou, you haven't turned Aichi yet...
**[09:48] Kyou**
No, not yet.
**[09:50] Rekka**
Could it be...
**[09:52] Rekka**
...you worried you couldn't beat him,
so you brought him here to get more backup?
**[09:56] Kyou**
No!
**[09:58] Kyou**
But what are *you* doing here, Rekka?
**[10:01] ---**
Huh? I told you already!
**[10:03] Rekka**
We're going to spread
this power all across the world!
**[10:06] Kyou**
You were serious about that?!
**[10:09] Naoki**
Oh say, Rekka!
**[10:10] Shingo**
Ishida! Don't be so casual with her!
**[10:14] Naoki**
Do you know what's up with Kourin?
**[10:16] Rekka**
With Kou?
**[10:18] Rekka**
Well, let's see...
**[10:20] Rekka**
If these guys haven't become
PSYqualia zombies yet, then...
**[10:24] Rekka**
She's probably off making preparations!
**[10:27] Naoki**
Is that all? Figures she'd be busy
gettin' that Vanguard Koshien stuff ready.
**[10:31] Aichi**
R-Right.
**[10:34] Aichi**
Something strange is going on.
**[10:36] Aichi**
Was she always able to give people PSYqualia?
**[10:48] Aichi**
They seem different from before,
but I can't put my finger on how...
**[10:52] Naoki**
Why the grim face, Aichi?
**[10:55] Naoki**
Didn't we come to fight?
**[10:57] Naoki**
Let's get this party started!
**[10:59] Aichi**
Right!
**[11:00] Prof. O**
Then I'll step up.
**[11:02] Kyou**
Be my guest.
**[11:03] Naoki**
All right! I'm gonna mop the floor with...
**[11:05] Aichi**
Hold on, Naoki.
**[11:07] Naoki**
What is it, Aichi?
**[11:09] Aichi**
Let me fight him!
**[11:12] Naoki**
Oh, you're into it now, huh?!
**[11:16] Naoki**
All right, get 'im good!
**[11:18] Kyou**
Tch!
**[11:18] Kyou**
I'd rather be the one fighting Sendou.
**[11:22] Kyou**
But I guess I can see what he's got.
**[11:25] Aichi**
L-Let's have a good game.
**[11:29] Prof. O**
O, do you remember me, Aichi Sendou?
**[11:32] Prof. O**
I'm Professor O!
**[11:35] Aichi**
Yes, I do.
**[11:36] Prof. O**
But I've been reborn.
**[11:38] Prof. O**
I'm not like what I was before, O no!
**[11:42] Aichi**
This vibe, is it really...?
**[11:48] Prof. O**
Stand up, O Vanguard!
**[11:48] Aichi**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[11:53] Shingo**
U-Um...
**[11:56] Shingo**
R-R-Rekki... No!
**[12:00] Shingo**
Rekka!
**[12:01] Shingo**
I have a once-in-a-lifetime favor to ask you!
**[12:04] Shingo**
Y-Y-You and me...
**[12:07] Shingo**
Just for one match...
**[12:09] Shingo**
Please fight with me!
**[12:13] Rekka**
I'm not in charge of you.
**[12:16] Shingo**
In charge?
**[12:17] Rekka**
N-Nothing! It's nothing!
**[12:21] Rekka**
It looks like they'll take some time...
**[12:25] Rekka**
I guess I could fight you.
**[12:28] Shingo**
You really mean it?!
**[12:30] Rekka**
It's noisy in here,
so let's go to the next room.
**[12:33] Shingo**
B-By all means!
**[12:37] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[12:41] Rekka**
I love-love ride Kirah!
**[12:43] Shingo**
I ride Magatsu Wind!
**[12:46] Rekka**
Here I go!
**[12:48] Rekka**
Lily of the Valley Musketeer, Rebecca...
**[12:50] Rekka**
Love-love ride!
**[12:58] Shingo**
It's the fight with Rekka I always dreamed of!
**[13:01] Shingo**
Right now, I could die happy!
**[13:04] Rekka**
It's your turn.
**[13:06] Shingo**
R-Right!
**[13:08] Shingo**
Rekka's clan is Neo Nectar.
**[13:11] Shingo**
That clan often uses superior calls
and their resulting deployments
**[13:15] Shingo**
to curb consumption of cards from the hand.
**[13:18] Aichi**
Blaster Blade attacks your Vanguard!
**[13:22] Prof. O**
Damage check.
**[13:24] Prof. O**
O, I got a heal trigger!
**[13:27] Naoki**
You haven't even looked at the card yet!
**[13:34] Naoki**
I-It really is a heal trigger!
**[13:36] Naoki**
You've gotta be cheatin'!
**[13:38] Prof. O**
How rude! It's just my psychic power!
**[13:41] Naoki**
P-Psychic power?!
**[13:43] Aichi**
He does seem to possess PSYqualia.
**[13:47] Aichi**
But then, why...?
**[13:48] Prof. O**
I can see it!
**[13:49] Aichi**
His deck... His units
aren't fighting on his behalf!
**[13:54] Rekka**
Pansy Musketeer, Sylvia...
**[13:56] Rekka**
Love-love ride!
**[14:03] Shingo**
So cute!
**[14:07] Shingo**
What is that?
**[14:08] Rekka**
I have more surprises in store!
**[14:11] Rekka**
Come to me, Dandelion Musketeer, Mirkka!
**[14:13] Rekka**
Also Sylvia!
**[14:16] Rekka**
Lily of the Valley Musketeer, Kaivant, you too!
**[14:21] Shingo**
Wha...?!
**[14:22] Shingo**
Such deployment!
**[14:24] Shingo**
And the left column has 25,000 power.
**[14:27] Shingo**
The right column has 21,000 power.
**[14:29] Shingo**
So then...
**[14:31] Rekka**
Let's go, everyone!
**[14:43] Rekka**
Surprising. No guard against all of those?
**[14:47] Shingo**
At this stage, guarding would be a poor idea.
**[14:50] Shingo**
It would just waste the cards in my hand.
**[14:53] Rekka**
Huh. You might actually be a slight challenge.
**[14:56] Shingo**
It's my turn.
**[14:58] Shingo**
I ride!
**[15:00] Aichi**
Materializing here now
**[15:01] Aichi**
is the great sovereign who rules
the sacred lands of United Sanctuary!
**[15:13] Aichi**
Monarch Sanctuary Alfred!
**[15:17] Prof. O**
I can see it! I can see it!
**[15:19] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift!
**[15:21] Aichi**
Force!
**[15:24] Aichi**
Monarch Sanctuary gets +10,000 power!
**[15:28] Aichi**
On top of that, its skill activates!
**[15:30] Aichi**
I move Blaster Blade
from the Drop Zone into my hand!
**[15:32] Prof. O**
I can see it! I can see it!
**[15:34] Prof. O**
I can... see it...
**[15:36] Prof. O**
But... Huh?
**[15:38] Aichi**
Subjugation Field!
**[15:41] Aichi**
Theater Moderate!
**[15:49] Aichi**
Oh, I won.
**[16:00] Kyou**
Whoa, come on, Sendou...
**[16:03] Kyou**
You beat Professor O in a flash,
even without using PSYqualia?!
**[16:09] Mob Zombie**
Let me go next!
**[16:10] Kyou**
S-Sure.
**[16:13] Aichi**
Let's have a good game.
**[16:15] Naoki**
The heck? They're all zeroing in on Aichi?
**[16:19] Naoki**
And Shingo weaseled his way
into a match with Rekka.
**[16:23] Naoki**
I'm ready for a fight myself...
**[16:29] Naoki**
Hey, hold up!
**[16:31] Naoki**
What's with you?
**[16:33] Naoki**
Were you waitin' for your chance
to make a grand entrance, but blew it?
**[16:37] Naoki**
Hey, Kourin!
**[16:40] Kourin**
Naoki...
**[16:49] Shingo**
Voidmaster, I'm counting on you!
**[16:55] Shingo**
That makes 5 damage!
**[16:57] Shingo**
I'm beating Rekka?!
**[16:59] Shingo**
I feel like I've gone to heaven!
**[17:01] Rekka**
Don't count your chickens.
You haven't won yet.
**[17:04] Shingo**
We'll see about that!
**[17:06] Shingo**
Boosted by Stealth Beast, Tobihiko,
**[17:08] Shingo**
Covert Demonic Dragon, Magatsu Storm
attacks your Vanguard!
**[17:12] Shingo**
Its power is 17,000!
**[17:16] Rekka**
Watering Elf and Dandelion Musketeer, Mirkka...
**[17:20] Rekka**
Love-love guard!
**[17:23] Shingo**
43,000 total?!
**[17:25] Rekka**
How's that?!
**[17:26] Shingo**
Twin drive!
**[17:27] Shingo**
First check!
**[17:29] Shingo**
I got a critical trigger!
**[17:32] Shingo**
But even if my next one
is also a critical trigger,
**[17:35] Shingo**
it wouldn't be enough to break through 43,000!
**[17:38] Shingo**
I give all of the effects
to Stealth Beast, Chigasumi!
**[17:41] Shingo**
Second check!
**[17:43] Shingo**
Critical trigger!
**[17:45] Shingo**
I give all of the effects to Chigasumi!
**[17:51] Shingo**
Now I attack your Vanguard!
**[17:55] Shingo**
This 37,000 attack should go through!
**[17:59] Rekka**
Come to me!
**[18:00] Rekka**
Maiden of Blossom Rain!
**[18:03] Maiden**
Here!
**[18:06] Shingo**
A perfect guard?!
**[18:08] Rekka**
It's my turn!
**[18:10] Rekka**
Once more!
**[18:11] Rekka**
I love-love ride White Lily Musketeer, Cecilia!
**[18:19] Shingo**
That is just superlatively cute!
**[18:23] Shingo**
Wait, this is no time to be saying that!
**[18:25] Rekka**
That's right!
**[18:27] Rekka**
Cecilia's skill activates!
**[18:29] Rekka**
Counterblast!
**[18:30] Rekka**
I retire Kaivant!
**[18:33] Shingo**
So then...
**[18:36] Rekka**
I superior call Sylvia and Kaivant from my deck!
**[18:40] Rekka**
The front row units get +10,000 power!
**[18:43] Rekka**
With its skill, Kaivants gets +10,000 power!
**[18:47] Rekka**
With its skill, Mirkka gets +3000 power!
**[18:50] Rekka**
Plant Token gets +5000 power!
**[18:54] Shingo**
Wh-What's happening here?!
**[18:57] Rekka**
You don't know?
**[18:59] Rekka**
You're going to lose this turn.
**[19:05] Rekka**
Come with me, Rebecca!
**[19:10] Shingo**
41,000 power?
**[19:14] Shingo**
Stealth Dragon Ninja Art!
**[19:17] Shingo**
Perfect Guard Jutsu!
**[19:20] Shingo**
I'm saved!
**[19:21] Rekka**
Are you sure?
**[19:24] Rekka**
Twin drive!
**[19:25] Rekka**
First check!
**[19:27] Rekka**
Love-love critical!
**[19:29] Rekka**
I give all of the effects to Sylvia!
**[19:33] Rekka**
Second check!
**[19:35] Rekka**
Double love-love critical!
**[19:37] Shingo**
What?!
**[19:40] Rekka**
I give all of the effects to Kaivant!
**[19:45] Rekka**
This is how it ends.
**[19:47] Rekka**
Sylvia, Mirkka, if you please!
**[19:49] The Two**
Yes!
**[19:50] Shingo**
51,000 power!
**[20:06] Mob Zombie**
I... I lost!
**[20:09] Aichi**
Th-Thank you for the game.
**[20:12] Aichi**
It's happened again.
**[20:14] Aichi**
Once the fight ended, it felt as if
my opponent's PSYqualia disappeared.
**[20:19] Aichi**
What could it mean?
**[20:20] Kyou**
Tch!
**[20:21] Aichi**
Um, Kyou...
**[20:24] Aichi**
I've had about enough of these fights.
**[20:26] Kyou**
All right, fine. I'll finish this.
**[20:33] Kyou**
By my own hand.
**[20:36] Kyou**
If you refuse to use PSYqualia
against the rank and file opponents,
**[20:40] Kyou**
I'll just beat you and turn you into a zombie.
**[20:43] Kyou**
Then you'll have to use PSYqualia.
**[20:48] Ibuki**
Fool.
**[20:49] Ibuki**
Your objective and methods are messed up.
**[20:52] Kyou**
What do you want?!
**[21:02] Aichi**
Aren't you...
**[21:04] Ibuki**
What's this?
**[21:05] Aichi**
I remember you...
**[21:10] Rekka**
It's that Ibuki guy!
**[21:12] Rekka**
What's he doing here?!
**[21:15] Kyou**
My PSYqualia can sense it!
**[21:19] Kyou**
He's not a zombie like us!
**[21:21] Kyou**
He has genuine PSYqualia!
**[21:25] Kyou**
Who are you?!
**[21:27] Ibuki**
Who am I?
**[21:29] Ibuki**
I'm the one who will eliminate Vanguard.
**[21:31] Ibuki**
I've come to delete...
**[21:34] Ibuki**
...every last one of you Vanguard fighters.
**[23:10] Tetsu**
What's for dinner tonight?
**[23:12] Kai**
I haven't decided yet.
**[23:13] Kai**
I'll go to the supermarket
and see what's on sale first.
**[23:16] Tetsu**
Oh, okay.
**[23:17] Ren**
Now, now, Tetsu.
**[23:18] Ren**
Since we're imposing on him,
the least we can do is prepare dinner.
**[23:21] Tetsu**
Good point.
**[23:22] Kai**
Prepare dinner? Ren, can you cook?
**[23:25] Ren**
Nope, not at all.
But I'll handle the grocery shopping!
**[23:27] Kai**
Okay, let's say we're having potstickers.
What would you buy at the store?
**[23:31] Ren**
Please, don't sell me short, Kai!
**[23:33] Kai**
Tell me.
**[23:34] Ren**
Frozen potstickers, what else?

**[23:36] Ren**
Huh? Kai, where are you going?
**[23:37] Kai**
Grocery shopping!

**[00:02] Kamui**
Excuse me!
**[00:03] Kamui**
Is the Asia Circuit champion,
**[00:05] Kamui**
Aichi Sendou, here?!
**[00:09] Aichi**
Kamui!
**[00:10] Kamui**
What the heck is going on?!
**[00:14] Takuto**
It is my destiny to bring
all Vanguard fighters under my control!
**[00:20] Aichi**
Our imaginations will surpass that destiny!
**[00:23] Ibuki**
Not so fast!
**[00:25] Ibuki**
I'm going to Delete End all of you.
***SIGN*** Image 41 Phantom Final Turn
**[02:05] Ibuki**
Noisy brat.
**[02:07] Ibuki**
Are you also a friend of this milksop?
**[02:10] Kamui**
"Milksop"?
**[02:11] Ibuki**
You know, the kind of person
who trembles with fear, like a hamster.
**[02:15] Kamui**
Why, you...! How dare you
insult Brother Aichi like that?!
**[02:19] Ibuki**
Cool your jets.
**[02:21] Ibuki**
I'll be deleting you later, too.
**[02:23] Kyou**
"Delete"? As in, erase?
**[02:25] Kyou**
You mean to beat us?
**[02:28] Kyou**
You, one person,
against all of us Vanguard fighters?
**[02:34] Ibuki**
You may have the numbers,
but you're all a bunch of zeroes.
**[02:40] Kamui**
You're just ignorant!
**[02:42] Kamui**
Brother Aichi is the Asia Circuit champion!
**[02:45] Ibuki**
Huh. Wow.
**[02:47] Kamui**
Not only that, he's got more
PSYqualia than even Ren Suzugamori!
**[02:55] Aichi**
Wh-Wha--
**[02:58] Ibuki**
I see...
**[03:00] Ibuki**
You certainly do seem to possess it.
**[03:03] Ibuki**
This must be the "melody"
that Takuto was referring to.
**[03:07] Ibuki**
But you're not a "fighter."
**[03:09] Aichi**
Huh?
**[03:10] Ibuki**
Right now, you're just
fighting by force of habit.
**[03:14] Ibuki**
You feel no joy or satisfaction from a victory.
**[03:17] Aichi**
Th-That's... not...
**[03:20] Ibuki**
Have you ever felt any actual
deep-seated, burning desire to win?
**[03:27] Ibuki**
I bet not.
**[03:28] Kamui**
Hey, that's enough outta you!
**[03:31] Kamui**
You don't know
the first thing about Brother Aichi!
**[03:33] Kyou**
Have you ever actually fought Aichi Sendou?
**[03:37] Kamui**
Why, you...
**[03:39] Ibuki**
No need. I can tell just by
looking into his timid little eyes.
**[03:42] Kamui**
Okay, you've crossed the line!
**[03:45] Kamui**
Put your money where
your mouth is and fight me!
**[03:47] Kyou**
No, *I'm* gonna defeat him.
**[03:51] Aichi**
Kyou!
**[03:52] Kyou**
Now that I've gotten PSYqualia,
**[03:54] Kyou**
I'm finally able to stand on
a level playing field with Sendou.
**[03:58] Kyou**
I'm not about to let him interfere!
Sendou is *my* prey!
**[04:02] Ibuki**
Are you sure?
**[04:04] Ibuki**
If you fight me, you'll lose Vanguard entirely.
**[04:07] Ibuki**
I hope you're prepared.
**[04:10] Aichi**
Wait, both of you!
**[04:11] Kyou**
Shut up! You just stand back and watch!
**[04:14] Kamui**
It's no use, Brother Aichi.
**[04:16] Kamui**
Once you get infected by a PSYqualia zombie,
**[04:18] Kamui**
you wanna fight so badly
that nothing'll hold you back.
**[04:21] Kamui**
That's how it was with me, so I know.
**[04:24] Aichi**
But...
**[04:25] Kyou**
I'm Kyou Yahagi. You?
**[04:28] Ibuki**
Aren't you the polite little brat.
**[04:31] Kyou**
Your name!
**[04:32] Ibuki**
Kouji Ibuki.
**[04:33] Ibuki**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[04:33] Kyou**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[04:39] Rekka**
Uh oh!
**[04:41] Rekka**
It seemed like Takuto had
hit it off with that Ibuki guy,
**[04:45] Rekka**
but anybody who can erase people's
connections to Vanguard is too dangerous!
**[04:50] Shingo**
What's wrong, Rekka?
**[04:53] Rekka**
Shhh! You'll give us away!
**[04:55] Shingo**
I'm very sorry!
**[05:00] Rekka**
Hey, you...
**[05:01] Shingo**
Yes!
**[05:03] Rekka**
Why don't you go in and fight those guys?
**[05:07] Shingo**
I hear and obey, Rekka!
**[05:12] Ibuki**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[05:16] Ibuki**
Greion gets +10,000 power.
**[05:18] Ibuki**
Also...
**[05:20] Ibuki**
I call Elron.
**[05:21] Ibuki**
Alba's skill activates!
**[05:23] Ibuki**
Soul blast!
**[05:24] Ibuki**
I superior call Alba from the Drop Zone!
**[05:27] Ibuki**
Come to me, Gaen and Gatario!
**[05:31] Ibuki**
Make that disappear!
**[05:38] Kyou**
Wh-What was that image?!
**[05:41] Kyou**
I don't know why, but I can't let that get me!
**[05:44] Kyou**
Stealth Beast, Leaves Mirage!
**[05:46] Kamui**
A perfect guard!
**[05:47] Ibuki**
Don't be so scared!
**[05:49] Kyou**
Shut up!
**[05:50] Ibuki**
First check.
**[05:52] Ibuki**
Second check.
**[05:54] Ibuki**
Critical trigger.
**[05:55] Ibuki**
I give all of the effects to Alba.
**[05:58] Ibuki**
Go, Elro and Gaen!
**[06:03] Ibuki**
With a boost from Gatario,
**[06:05] Ibuki**
Alba attacks your Vanguard!
**[06:07] Ibuki**
The power is 32,000.
**[06:10] Kyou**
No guard!
**[06:11] Kyou**
Damage check!
**[06:15] Aichi**
Now he's got 5 damage,
**[06:17] Aichi**
while Ibuki still has only 1 damage.
**[06:19] Kamui**
It's totally one-sided!
**[06:20] Kyou**
Get lost, bystanders!
**[06:22] Kyou**
I can see the image of my victory!
**[06:27] Kyou**
It's my turn!
**[06:30] Kyou**
Stand and draw!
**[06:32] Kyou**
I ride!
**[06:35] Kyou**
Dueling Dragon, ZANBAKU!
**[06:38] Kyou**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[06:40] Kyou**
Twin Swordsman, MUSASHI!
**[06:42] Kyou**
Stealth Rogue of Silence, Shijimamaru!
**[06:45] Kyou**
ZANBAKU's skill activates!
**[06:49] Kyou**
I superior call Right Arrester!
**[06:52] Kyou**
On top of that,
Right Arrester's skill activates!
**[07:00] Aichi**
That's...
**[07:01] Kamui**
...Kyou's specialty!
**[07:04] Kyou**
How about that?! Now you can't move!
**[07:07] Kyou**
With this, you're like a wooden dummy,
unable to ride or stand next turn!
**[07:12] Ibuki**
Why don't you worry about
your own turn instead of mine?
**[07:16] Kyou**
What was that?! Don't be so cocky!
**[07:21] Ibuki**
Is that all?
**[07:23] Kyou**
I'm not done yet!
**[07:27] Ibuki**
No guard.
**[07:29] Kyou**
Twin drive!
**[07:30] Kyou**
First check!
**[07:32] Kyou**
Here's a critical trigger!
**[07:34] Kyou**
I give the power to Left Arrester,
and the critical to ZANBAKU!
**[07:38] Kyou**
Second check!
**[07:40] Kamui**
A double critical!
**[07:42] Ibuki**
Damage check.
**[07:47] Aichi**
So Kyou can also hear
the whispering of the cards...
**[07:51] Kyou**
On top of that, Left Arrester
and Million Rat attack!
**[07:55] Ibuki**
No guard.
**[07:56] Ibuki**
Damage check.
**[07:57] Ibuki**
Draw trigger.
**[08:00] Kyou**
MUSASHI attacks your Vanguard!
**[08:04] MUSASHI**
I'll carve the word "defeat" into your flesh!
**[08:07] MUSASHI**
Take this! Double Heart Break!
**[08:11] MUSASHI**
Wh-What?!
**[08:17] Kyou**
He blocked it?!
**[08:20] Kyou**
My turn is over!
**[08:22] Kyou**
At least he can't do much,
so long as his Vanguard is immobilized!
**[08:33] Ibuki**
It's my turn.
***SIGN*** 7th Turn
**[08:47] Ibuki**
I call Swift Deletor, Geali.
**[08:53] Kyou**
Moon Edge!
**[08:58] Kyou**
I can see it! I can see it!
**[09:01] Kyou**
Helpless as you are, I can see
what you're gonna do next!
**[09:05] Ibuki**
My turn is over!
**[09:05] Kyou**
"My turn is over!"
**[09:07] Kyou**
See?! I knew you'd say that!
***SIGN*** 8th Turn
**[09:12] Kyou**
I don't know what his "delete" thing is,
**[09:15] Kyou**
but this guy is no big deal!
**[09:19] Kyou**
Here it comes.
**[09:22] Kyou**
Here it comes! Here it comes!
**[09:24] Kyou**
There!
**[09:26] Kyou**
I ride!
**[09:35] Kyou**
Dueling Dragon King, ZANGEKI!
**[09:40] Kyou**
Now you can't call anything higher
than a grade 0 guardian!
**[09:47] Kyou**
I'm gonna chop you up!
**[09:49] Kyou**
Great Slash Strike!
**[10:00] Kyou**
How does it feel, Ibuki?!
**[10:02] Kyou**
You're about to become
a fellow PSYqualia zombie!
**[10:22] Kyou**
How does it feel, Ibuki?!
**[10:24] Kyou**
You're about to become--
**[10:25] Kyou**
Huh?!
**[10:28] Kyou**
That's strange...
**[10:29] Kyou**
This was supposed to finish him off...
**[10:36] Ibuki**
Is your turn over yet, kid?
**[10:39] Aichi**
What's wrong with Kyou?
**[10:41] Kamui**
It was like he suddenly stopped moving,
**[10:44] Kamui**
but then he grinned...
**[10:45] Kamui**
He's acting pretty weird.
**[10:46] Kyou**
Then the image I saw before...
**[10:50] Kyou**
Was it just a vision?!
**[10:53] Kyou**
My turn is over!
**[10:57] Ibuki**
It's my turn.
**[10:59] Ibuki**
Since my Vanguard can't stand, I'll just draw.
**[11:03] Ibuki**
I call Swift Deletor, Geali
and Lie-down Deletor, Given.
**[11:07] Kyou**
I didn't see those units in my image!
**[11:10] Ibuki**
Greion's skill.
**[11:11] Ibuki**
Counterblast.
**[11:14] Ibuki**
Docking Delete!
**[11:18] Kyou**
It can't be!
**[11:19] Kyou**
He wiped out my Vanguard!
**[11:21] Ibuki**
And now you're just an astral body.
**[11:25] Ibuki**
Hold still while I erase you.
**[11:28] Kyou**
I'm counting on you, Moon Edge!
**[11:31] Kyou**
Right Arrester!
**[11:33] Ibuki**
Let's see how long you can hold out.
**[11:38] Kyou**
Darn it! What does this mean?!
**[11:40] Kyou**
My PSYqualia isn't telling me anything!
**[11:44] Ibuki**
Given hates having
my Vanguard in a resting state.
**[11:48] Ibuki**
By sending my hand and all rear-guards,
a total of six cards, to the Drop Zone,
**[11:55] Ibuki**
Greion rises again!
**[11:57] Ibuki**
Greion, superior stand!
**[12:01] Kyou**
I don't believe it!
**[12:02] Kyou**
I didn't see any kind of image like this!
**[12:05] Ibuki**
Delete End...
**[12:20] Aichi**
Kyou!
**[12:22] Aichi**
Are you okay?!
**[12:24] Kyou**
Yeah. Aichi Sendou...
**[12:27] Kyou**
What are you doing here?
**[12:29] Kamui**
Get ahold of yourself!
**[12:31] Aichi**
Look, Kyou.
**[12:33] Aichi**
Here's your deck.
**[12:35] Kyou**
Huh? My deck?
**[12:38] Aichi**
That's right.
**[12:39] Aichi**
Go on, put it away.
**[12:43] Kyou**
I'm not interested in that stuff.
**[12:48] Ibuki**
Delete End.
**[12:49] Ibuki**
His bond with Vanguard was just erased.
**[12:53] Ibuki**
He's no longer a Vanguard fighter.
**[12:57] Aichi**
What?!
**[12:58] Ibuki**
The kid is now an empty shell, a living corpse.
**[13:03] Ibuki**
Possibly no different than a "zombie."
**[13:09] Kamui**
How dare you?!
**[13:11] Ibuki**
I should think you'd be
grateful instead of angry.
**[13:14] Ibuki**
I freed him from the curse of Vanguard.
**[13:18] Kamui**
Curse?!
**[13:19] Ibuki**
Better or worse, strong or weak...
**[13:22] Ibuki**
Enemy or friend, victory or defeat...
**[13:25] Ibuki**
You Vanguard fighters are never satisfied
unless you can give yourselves ratings.
**[13:30] Ibuki**
But now, I've freed him from that cursed world!
**[13:35] Aichi**
You have no right to talk like that!
**[13:38] Kamui**
Brother Aichi!
**[13:40] Aichi**
Kyou was a fighter with a goal.
**[13:43] Aichi**
He may have done some odd things
to get better, but he worked hard at it!
**[13:47] Aichi**
And yet, you've now
disconnected Kyou from his dreams!
**[13:53] Aichi**
That's unforgivable, Ibuki!
**[13:55] Kamui**
I've never seen Brother Aichi this angry...
**[13:59] Ibuki**
Unforgivable, huh?
So what'll you do about it?
**[14:05] Shingo**
Then fight me!
**[14:08] Ibuki**
Who the heck are you?
**[14:09] Aichi**
Sh-Shingo?!
**[14:11] Shingo**
Come on, let's fight!
**[14:13] Aichi**
No, Shingo!
**[14:14] Aichi**
If you fight Ibuki...
**[14:17] Shingo**
Fight! Fight! Fight me!
**[14:22] Aichi**
Has Shingo become a PSYqualia zombie, too?!
**[14:26] Fighter A**
Fight me!
**[14:27] Fighter B**
Let's fight!
**[14:28] Fighter C**
Fight me!
**[14:30] Fighter D**
I wanna fight!
**[14:32] Ibuki**
What?
**[14:33] Kamui**
They're suddenly...
**[14:34] Fighter A**
Move it!
**[14:37] Fighter A**
Fight me!
**[14:38] Aichi**
Kyou!
**[14:39] Fighter B**
Let me fight!
**[14:41] Fighter C**
Fight!
**[14:42] Fighter D**
Yeah!
**[14:46] Rekka**
Over to you guys!
**[14:49] Rekka**
Become zombies, get deleted, whatever!
**[14:53] Shingo**
I'll have you know that
I feel like I've suddenly become strong!
**[14:58] Shingo**
So we should definitely fight!
**[15:02] Aichi**
Shingo, where did Naoki go?
**[15:05] Shingo**
I couldn't say.
**[15:07] Aichi**
Kamui, help me look for him!
**[15:09] Kamui**
Why you... Let go of me!
**[15:12] Kamui**
R-Right!
**[15:13] Fighter B**
Fight! Fight!
**[15:15] Fighter C**
Fight!
**[15:15] Fighter D**
Please fight me!
**[15:18] Ibuki**
You weaklings!
**[15:19] Ibuki**
I'll delete you all at once!
**[15:22] Aichi**
No!
**[15:23] Aichi**
I can't let you fight here, Ibuki!
**[15:26] Aichi**
Now, get out of here!
**[15:28] Ibuki**
Let go!
**[15:29] Ibuki**
The likes of you can't stop me from fighting!
**[15:33] Ibuki**
You! When did you...?!
**[15:35] Aichi**
Sorry!
**[15:38] Kamui**
Brother Aichi!
**[15:39] Ibuki**
Hold it right there!
**[15:46] Aichi**
I'm sorry.
**[15:48] Ibuki**
Sheesh. What were you thinking?
**[15:50] Kamui**
You didn't have to hit him!
**[15:53] Aichi**
I apologize for running off with your deck.
**[15:55] Aichi**
But I didn't want you to fight, Ibuki.
**[15:59] Aichi**
Even if they did become PSYqualia zombies,
**[16:02] Aichi**
they all love Cardfighting.
**[16:05] Aichi**
Erasing their bond with Vanguard
would just be cruel!
**[16:10] Ibuki**
Cruel, huh?
**[16:12] Ibuki**
They would've been much happier
freed from the shackles of Vanguard battles.
**[16:19] Ibuki**
This is a curse upon us all.
**[16:22] Aichi**
But...
**[16:23] Shingo**
Let's fight, Sendou!
**[16:25] Aichi**
Shingo! Again?!
**[16:27] Ibuki**
Messing around with him is more your style.
**[16:31] Aichi**
Wait a second, Ibuki!
**[16:33] Shingo**
Where are you going, Sendou?!
**[16:35] Shingo**
Fight! Fight me!
**[16:37] Aichi**
All right, fine...
**[16:40] Kamui**
That guy...
**[16:44] Kamui**
They're cured of being zombies,
**[16:46] Kamui**
but what happens after they're deleted?
**[16:50] Rekka**
Hey, is she really okay?
**[16:53] Takuto**
There's nothing to worry about.
**[16:55] Takuto**
Her connection to Vanguard
has just been severed, that's all.
**[16:58] Rekka**
That *is* something to worry about!
**[17:00] Rekka**
We can't leave that Ibuki guy on the loose!
**[17:03] Takuto**
Let's just see what happens next.
**[17:06] Takuto**
I'm sure his Delete ability
will soon prove useful to us.
**[17:10] Takuto**
Wouldn't you agree, Kourin?
**[17:13] Kourin**
Yes, I do.
**[17:16] Tetsu**
I see. These can feed three men cheaply,
not to mention provide stamina.
**[17:21] Tetsu**
A nice menu choice.
**[17:23] Kai**
I didn't put that much thought into it...
**[17:27] Ren**
Kai, can I borrow some pajamas?
**[17:32] Kai**
This isn't your home!
**[17:34] Kai**
Dry off before stepping out!
**[17:36] Ren**
I did, with this bath towel.
**[17:39] Kai**
You call that being dried off?!
**[17:41] Kai**
You're still dripping wet!
**[17:43] Ren**
What a pain...
**[17:45] Kai**
Tetsu! Talk some sense into him!
**[17:48] Tetsu**
Sorry, my hands are full at the moment.
**[17:51] Kai**
Honestly, you two!
**[17:57] Aichi**
Shingo!
**[17:59] Shingo**
Huh? What was I just doing?
**[18:03] Aichi**
Thank goodness, you've come to your senses.
**[18:07] Aichi**
Luckily, Shingo is back to normal,
**[18:10] Aichi**
but what should I do to stop Ibuki?
**[18:15] Misaki**
I can't believe that two members of ULTRARARE
are mixed up in this zombie business.
**[18:20] Aichi**
I'm worried about Kourin.
**[18:22] Aichi**
I can't get through to her phone.
**[18:25] Shingo**
In other worrying news,
it seems Naoki never went home yesterday.
**[18:30] Misaki**
What?!
**[18:31] Aichi**
He wasn't at school this morning,
so we went by his house.
**[18:36] Aichi**
They told us...
**[18:37] Shingo**
Apparently he often takes off like that,
**[18:40] Shingo**
so his family wasn't especially concerned.
**[18:44] Misaki**
Just what is he usually like?
**[18:47] Aichi**
I only hope he didn't get dragged
into this zombie mess, like Shingo was.
**[18:50] Shingo**
How I wish I had a hole to crawl into!
**[18:54] Aichi**
I-It's not that I'm blaming you, Shingo!
**[19:02] Kawanami**
Coach Tetsu, good morning!
**[19:05] Tetsu**
Oh, hi.
**[19:07] Tetsu**
What's going on here?
**[19:07] Fighters**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[19:08] Tetsu**
It's as if yesterday never happened...
**[19:09] Fighter A**
I ride!
**[19:10] Fighter B**
I ride!
**[19:12] Suiko**
Coach Tetsu...
**[19:14] Tetsu**
Suiko Tatsunagi!
**[19:16] Tetsu**
What?! Ibuki got to you, too?!
**[19:20] Suiko**
Yes. He severed my bond with Vanguard,
**[19:24] Suiko**
which in turn changed all of the zombies
I'd "infected" back to normal.
**[19:30] Tetsu**
It's so sudden that it's hard to believe.
**[19:33] Tetsu**
But why are you telling me all this,
when you're an agent of Takuto Tatsunagi?
**[19:40] Suiko**
Both you and I are like chess pawns
that have been removed from the board.
**[19:46] Suiko**
Let's just watch and see where the battle goes.
**[19:53] Tetsu**
Hearing all that hasn't made me angry...
**[19:57] Tetsu**
This must mean that
my bond with Vanguard really is gone.
**[20:08] Aichi**
Naoki never did show up.
**[20:11] Shingo**
We are talking about Ishida here.
Even if he ditches class,
**[20:13] Shingo**
there's a strong possibility
he'll still come to club.
**[20:18] Aichi**
Misaki?
**[20:22] Naoki**
Hey there.
**[20:25] Naoki**
I've been waitin', Aichi.
**[20:27] Aichi**
Naoki, what happened to you yesterday?
**[20:29] Aichi**
I got worried after you suddenly left.
**[20:32] Misaki**
This isn't the Naoki we know.
**[20:35] Shingo**
I suspect Ishida has been turned...
**[20:37] Naoki**
I apologize for makin' you guys worry.
**[20:40] Naoki**
See, I spotted a familiar face
when we went by that shop yesterday...
**[20:45] Misaki**
A familiar face?
**[20:47] Naoki**
Kourin, who else?!
**[20:49] Aichi**
Kourin?!
**[20:51] Shingo**
She was there?!
**[20:53] Naoki**
Yeah. Right now, she's seriously--
**[21:02] Naoki**
What's the diff? It ain't like it matters...
**[21:06] Aichi**
Naoki!
**[21:07] Misaki**
It's just like with Kamui!
**[21:10] Shingo**
Then Ishida's been turned into a zombie, too!
**[21:14] Naoki**
Aichi, fight with me!
**[21:20] Misaki**
Aichi!
**[21:21] Shingo**
Sendou!
**[21:23] Aichi**
I know the rules of this battle.
**[21:27] Aichi**
If I lose, I'll turn into a PSYqualia zombie.
**[21:30] Aichi**
If I win, Naoki will be set free.
**[21:34] Naoki**
We gonna do this, Aichi?
**[21:36] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[23:10] Ren**
Tetsu, are the potstickers ready?
**[23:12] Tetsu**
No, not yet.
**[23:13] Misaki**
"Potstickers," you say?!
**[23:14] Ren**
Oh, Misa-Q!
**[23:15] Kai**
Why are you at my place?!
**[23:16] Misaki**
An acquaintance of mine
is the potsticker goodwill ambassador.
**[23:20] Kai**
Potsticker ambassador...?
**[23:21] Tetsu**
Two words that don't belong together.
**[23:22] Misaki**
Kai, didn't you mock Ren for
suggesting frozen potstickers last time?
**[23:27] Kai**
I did...
**[23:27] Misaki**
Frozen does not mean poor quality!
**[23:29] Misaki**
The potstickers at the Akahoshi Butcher Shop
are filled with incredibly juicy *wagyu* beef!
**[23:33] Misaki**
And the Nishizono shop uses fourteen
different ingredients in their potstickers...
***SIGN*** Image 42

**[23:37] Ren**
Misa-Q, our potstickers are about to burn...

**[02:32] Naoki**
Aichi...
**[02:34] Naoki**
Even when I fought you before,
**[02:37] Naoki**
the image of victory never came to me.
**[02:41] Naoki**
But today...
**[02:44] Naoki**
...all I've got is an image of beatin' you!
**[02:47] Aichi**
No, Naoki!
**[02:49] Aichi**
You don't need to be a PSYqualia zombie!
**[02:51] Aichi**
You can have that image without it!
**[02:58] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[03:01] Naoki**
I ride Spark Kid Dragoon!
**[03:06] Aichi**
I ride Glyme!
**[03:13] Naoki**
What's...?
**[03:20] Naoki**
Where are we?
**[03:23] Aichi**
This is the world of
imagination spun by PSYqualia.
**[03:30] Naoki**
It's Glyme!
**[03:32] Naoki**
...Aichi?!
**[03:33] Aichi**
And we're Vanguards
who have landed on the planet Cray.
**[03:38] Aichi**
So let's get started!
**[03:41] Naoki**
Yeah.
**[03:42] Naoki**
It's my turn first!
**[03:44] Naoki**
I ride!
**[03:45] Naoki**
Lizard Soldier, Riki!
**[03:50] Naoki**
Whoa, I'm ridin' it!
**[03:54] Naoki**
Such realism! PSYqualia's incredible!
**[03:58] Aichi**
It's my turn!
**[04:00] Aichi**
I ride Knight Squire, Allen!
**[04:05] Aichi**
However, Naoki...
**[04:14] Aichi**
In this world, everything is real...
**[04:16] Aichi**
...including the pain!
**[04:21] Takuto**
It is my destiny to bring
all Vanguard fighters under my control!
**[04:27] Aichi**
Our imaginations will surpass that destiny!
**[04:30] Ibuki**
Not so fast!
**[04:32] Ibuki**
I'm going to Delete End all of you.

**[06:13] Miwa**
You're going to Capital again today, right?
**[06:15] Kai**
Yeah.
**[06:21] Kai**
Tetsu? How did it go?
**[06:24] Kai**
What?
**[06:25] Kai**
Hey, wait a--!
**[06:28] Kai**
I have someplace to go before Capital.
**[06:30] Kai**
Come with me, Miwa.
**[06:38] Miwa**
Isn't this...?
**[06:39] Miwa**
H-Hey! Kai!
**[06:48] Miwa**
I'm sure of it! Kai's sole intention...
**[06:51] Miwa**
...is to use me as a pack mule!
**[07:06] Miwa**
And he'll be eating that with Ren and Tetsu...
**[07:12] Shingo**
Ishida is feeling the damage?
**[07:15] Misaki**
Now I'm positive. Naoki also has PSYqualia.
**[07:24] Naoki**
Awesome...
**[07:25] Naoki**
It's this realistic?
**[07:27] Naoki**
PSYqualia's a real blast!
**[07:29] Aichi**
Naoki...
**[07:31] Naoki**
Now it's my turn!
**[07:33] Naoki**
I ride Hammerknuckle Dragon!
**[07:36] Naoki**
C'mere, Thunderstorm Dragoon!
**[07:39] Naoki**
Recklessness Dragon!
**[07:43] Naoki**
Smash 'im to bits!
**[07:50] Aichi**
Why did you stop?
**[07:53] Aichi**
Naoki...
**[08:02] Aichi**
Naoki, even when
possessed by an evil force,
**[08:06] Aichi**
you're still the kind Naoki I know.
**[08:09] Naoki**
"Kind," you say?
**[08:16] Naoki**
I ain't never been kind!
**[08:23] Naoki**
Go, Thunderstorm and Recklessness!
**[08:34] Naoki**
How's that, Aichi?
**[08:36] Misaki**
Naoki...
**[08:38] Shingo**
He's even more of a mad dog!
**[08:40] Aichi**
I don't like Naoki like this!
**[08:44] Aichi**
Stand up, my avatar!
**[08:46] Aichi**
I ride!
**[08:50] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[08:55] Aichi**
Knight of Silence, Gallatin! Wingal!
**[08:57] Aichi**
Knight of Loyalty, Bedivere!
**[09:00] Aichi**
Let's bring Naoki back to normal,
as soon as possible!
**[09:05] Naoki**
Protect me, Recklessness!
**[09:10] Aichi**
Here I come!
**[09:11] Aichi**
Drive check!
**[09:13] Aichi**
Critical trigger!
**[09:18] Naoki**
Blaster Blade, huh...
**[09:21] Naoki**
Ain't that the card that
guided you to Vanguard?
**[09:26] Aichi**
Yeah.
**[09:27] Aichi**
And then, thanks to Vanguard,
I met a whole lot of people
**[09:33] Aichi**
and became friends with you.
**[09:36] Naoki**
Aichi...
**[09:38] Aichi**
Vanguard isn't meant for controlling others.
**[09:41] Aichi**
It's meant for having fun.
**[09:44] Naoki**
That's right.
**[09:45] Naoki**
It's because he seemed
to be havin' so much fun then.
**[09:50] Naoki**
That's why I got my own cards.
**[09:55] Naoki**
There's no point playin' if it ain't fun...
**[09:58] Kourin**
Are you sure...?
**[10:00] Kourin**
Would Cardfighting for fun...
**[10:02] Kourin**
...be enough to gain everyone's approval?
**[10:06] Kourin**
Consider Aichi...
**[10:07] Kourin**
By winning again and again,
**[10:09] Kourin**
he became a shining star,
winning the approval of others.
**[10:13] Kourin**
And you...?
**[10:15] Kourin**
Has anything changed for you
since you began Vanguard?
**[10:21] Masaki**
Vanguard?
**[10:24] Naoki**
Yeah! It's totally fun!
**[10:28] Masaki**
I bet you'll quit before long.
**[10:31] Masaki**
Like how you stopped playing guitar
and soccer once they got tough for you.
**[10:36] Masaki**
True to form, you'll keep losing,
get sick of the game, and quit.
**[10:41] Naoki**
N-Not this time! I'm sure of it!
**[10:44] Masaki**
If you're going to quit,
do it sooner rather than later.
**[10:47] Masaki**
There's no sense wasting time and money.
**[10:50] Naoki**
Darn it!
**[10:53] Naoki**
My family don't look at me any differently.
**[10:57] Naoki**
Nothin's changed there.
**[11:00] Gallatin**
Follow me, Wingal!
**[11:01] Wingal**
Right!
**[11:04] Naoki**
Zephyr Kid, Hayate!
**[11:06] Naoki**
Havin' fun ain't enough!
**[11:09] Naoki**
I ride!
**[11:18] Naoki**
Detonix Stinger Dragon!
**[11:21] Naoki**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[11:24] Naoki**
My one way of gettin' approval...
**[11:27] Shingo**
He bound Gallatin!
**[11:30] Misaki**
That's Stinger's skill!
**[11:32] Naoki**
...is through Aichi, the Asia champion!
**[11:36] Naoki**
I've gotta beat you!
**[11:41] Naoki**
Blast 'im!
**[11:44] Naoki**
It's a critical trigger!
**[11:51] Naoki**
Then I'll get to shine brightly,
**[11:55] Naoki**
just like you!
**[12:12] Tetsu**
Sorry for the wait.
**[12:14] Tetsu**
Just you?
**[12:15] Kai**
Yeah. Miwa ran off.
**[12:19] Tetsu**
I see.
**[12:20] Kai**
How are things at Fukuhara High?
**[12:24] Tetsu**
Seemingly the same as before.
**[12:28] Tetsu**
But we still don't know
the whole truth about what happened.
**[12:32] Tetsu**
For the time being, we should stay on alert.
**[12:35] Kai**
And so during that time,
you're staying with me?
**[12:39] Tetsu**
Sorry. That's our safest course of action.
**[12:43] Tetsu**
Say, what's for dinner?
**[12:44] Kai**
You'll eat what I prepare! No complaints!
**[12:46] Tetsu**
Omelet Rice?
**[12:49] Naoki**
Go, Red River!
**[12:51] Naoki**
Knock 'im for a loop!
**[12:53] Aichi**
Attend me, Flogal!
**[12:55] Naoki**
Tch! He blocked it!
**[12:57] Aichi**
This isn't like you, Naoki!
**[13:00] Aichi**
Materializing here now
**[13:02] Aichi**
is the great sovereign who rules
the sacred lands of United Sanctuary!
**[13:09] Aichi**
I ride!
**[13:10] Aichi**
Monarch Sanctuary Alfred!
**[13:14] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[13:17] Aichi**
Monarch's skill activates!
**[13:19] Aichi**
Are you ready, Blaster Blade?!
**[13:22] Blaster**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[13:24] Blaster**
Burst Buster!
**[13:30] Aichi**
Gallatin!
**[13:31] Gallatin**
First, I'll...
**[13:33] Naoki**
Become my shield, Photon Bomber Wyvern!
**[13:39] Aichi**
Go back to the kind Naoki I know!
**[13:45] Naoki**
I ain't kind at all!
**[13:56] Aichi**
Don't speak poorly of yourself.
**[14:07] Naoki**
But, I mean...
**[14:09] Naoki**
...I abandoned you!
**[14:17] Naoki**
If only I'd helped you back then,
**[14:20] Naoki**
it would've all been different.
**[14:34] Naoki**
You wouldn't've had to change schools,
**[14:37] Naoki**
and maybe I'd've had the confidence
to stand up to my family.
**[14:43] Naoki**
If only I'd been just a bit kinder,
**[14:46] Naoki**
had just a bit more courage,
**[14:48] Naoki**
that could've been our future.
**[14:51] Aichi**
You *are* kind, Naoki.
**[14:53] Aichi**
For example...
**[14:58] Naoki**
You've caught my interest!
**[15:00] Naoki**
Hey!
**[15:02] Naoki**
I wanna join this club!
**[15:04] Naoki**
I'm gonna crush you!
**[15:06] Kourin**
I'll end this quickly for you.
**[15:09] Naoki**
Vanguard's...
**[15:11] Naoki**
...so much fun!
**[15:13] Aichi**
We were able to form the
Cardfight Club at Miyaji Academy
**[15:17] Aichi**
because of you, Naoki.
**[15:19] Aichi**
We're teammates, aren't we?
**[15:27] Naoki**
I love Vanguard.
**[15:31] Naoki**
It feels good to win a fight,
**[15:33] Naoki**
but even when you lose,
it feels great to win the next time.
**[15:39] Naoki**
Still...
**[15:45] Naoki**
I wanna win, but I don't wanna hurt anybody.
**[15:50] Aichi**
Yes, I know.
**[15:56] Naoki**
That's right...
**[15:58] Naoki**
Aichi's my teammate.
**[16:01] Naoki**
Why're we fightin' like this?
**[16:06] Misaki**
Naoki isn't guarding!
**[16:08] Shingo**
If it hits, then Sendou will win!
**[16:12] Kourin**
Wrong.
**[16:13] Kourin**
Yellow Gem Carbuncle!
**[16:15] Kourin**
Hayate! Riki!
**[16:16] Kourin**
Protect the Vanguard!
**[16:24] Kourin**
You can't truly be teammates
unless your strength rivals his.
**[16:29] Kourin**
Right now, the difference between
you and Aichi is like night and day.
**[16:34] Aichi**
Kourin!
**[16:36] Kourin**
The only way for you to gain
everyone's approval is by defeating Aichi.
**[16:47] Kourin**
You want to shine like Aichi, don't you?
**[16:50] Kourin**
You want to be Aichi's teammate, don't you?
**[16:53] Kourin**
Then there's only one thing for you to do.
**[16:56] Naoki**
Yeah.
**[17:04] Naoki**
Break time's over.
**[17:06] Aichi**
N-Naoki, wait!
**[17:09] Naoki**
Aichi...
**[17:11] Naoki**
I'm gonna beat you!
**[17:13] Naoki**
From here on in, it's Break Ride Time!
**[17:24] Naoki**
Detonix Drill Dragon!
**[17:27] Naoki**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[17:30] Naoki**
Stinger's skill activates!
**[17:32] Naoki**
It superior calls itself!
**[17:34] Naoki**
And then I bind Gallatin!
**[17:37] Gallatin**
Oh no!
**[17:38] Naoki**
Drill Breakdown!
**[17:41] Blaster**
I'm sorry, my Vanguard!
**[17:44] Naoki**
This way, you'll be my teammate, too!
**[17:49] Naoki**
I'll shine just as bright as Aichi!
**[17:53] Naoki**
Drive check!
**[17:54] Shingo**
Front trigger!
**[17:56] Naoki**
Second check!
**[18:04] Kourin**
You are just as bright as Aichi.
**[18:08] Kourin**
I envy both of you.
**[18:11] Naoki**
What about you? You're an idol, in ULTRARARE.
**[18:15] Naoki**
You shine a heck of a lot more than me.
**[18:20] Kourin**
That's only pretense.
**[18:22] Kourin**
It's not the real me.
**[18:26] Kourin**
If you defeat Aichi...
**[18:27] Kourin&Takuto**
...then you'll realize
your own shining power...
**[18:32] Aichi**
Just who am I fighting?
**[18:36] Aichi**
Naoki?
**[18:37] Aichi**
Kourin?
**[18:38] Aichi**
Or...
**[18:46] Aichi**
...Takuto?!
**[18:48] Kourin&Takuto**
Defeat Aichi.
**[18:50] Kourin&Takuto**
And then...
**[18:55] Kourin**
...make him *our* teammate.
**[19:03] The Three**
Critical trigger!
**[19:25] Shingo**
I-It can't be!
**[19:27] Misaki**
Aichi... lost...
**[19:31] Takuto**
Become my...
**[19:32] Kourin**
Become our...
**[19:34] Naoki**
...and my...
**[19:35] The Three**
...teammate!
**[19:45] Aichi**
Takuto...
**[19:48] Aichi**
No...
**[19:50] Aichi**
Who *are* you?!
**[19:53] Misaki**
Aichi!
**[19:54] Shingo**
Sendou!
**[19:59] Naoki**
I won! I...
**[20:02] Naoki**
No! This ain't what I wanted...
**[20:09] Misaki**
Naoki!
**[20:11] Naoki**
Quit doin' this...
**[20:14] Naoki**
Kourin...
**[20:17] Misaki**
Kourin?
**[20:23] Takuto**
He may have made us work for it,
**[20:26] Takuto**
but now the strongest wielder
of PSYqualia is under my control!
**[20:39] Kai**
In other words, if you beat the source
of the infection in a Vanguard fight,
**[20:43] Kai**
the PSYqualia zombies
they created will go back to normal?
**[20:46] Tetsu**
Yes. I'm certain of that.
**[20:55] Kai**
Sheesh... that lazy lout...
**[21:00] Kai**
It's me.
**[21:02] Ren**
What's that? The phone?
**[21:02] Kai**
Oh, Miwa. What is it?
**[21:05] Miwa**
I ran into a blast from the past!
**[21:08] Miwa**
I'm bringing this mystery guest
to Capital! Let's meet up there!
**[21:11] Kai**
A blast from the past?
**[21:16] Shingo**
Neither of them show any sign of waking up.
**[21:20] Misaki**
Keep watch over them.
**[21:22] Misaki**
If they do wake up,
don't let them fight anyone.
**[21:25] Shingo**
Well, of course, but...
**[21:27] Shingo**
Where are you going, Misaki?
**[21:30] Misaki**
To see someone.
**[21:32] Misaki**
Someone I need to talk to.
**[23:10] Miwa**
It's time for potstickers haiku!
**[23:12] Miwa**
Our instructor and potsticker
ambassador, Misaki Tokura.
**[23:15] Misaki**
Hello.
**[23:15] Miwa**
And I'm your MC, Taishi Miwa.
All right, our first one!
**[23:18] Kai**
Wings of golden brown
With savory aroma:
Dinner is ready. -- Toshiki
**[23:21] Misaki**
I can just picture those
delicious, winged potstickers!
**[23:24] Miwa**
Okay, our next one!
**[23:26] Ren**
Making them from scratch
Is too much of a nuisance.
Go frozen instead! -- Ren
**[23:29] Misaki**
You did a good job of
expressing a housewife's feelings.
**[23:32] Miwa**
And a final haiku from our expert!
**[23:34] Misaki**
Is it wise to spend
So much of our preview time
On potsticker gags?

**[03:43] YoungKai&Ibuki**
Stand up the Vanguard!
**[03:49] Ibuki**
Kai, huh? That brings back memories.
**[03:53] Miwa**
It's just like Aichi said.
There's something different about him now.
**[03:59] Ibuki**
Miwa, aren't we going?
**[04:02] Ibuki**
To Capital, your current hangout.
**[04:04] Miwa**
R-Right...
**[04:11] Miwa**
There'll also be a few people
from Miyaji Academy,
**[04:14] Miwa**
whom you picked a fight
with back at Fukuhara.
**[04:18] Ibuki**
Now that you mention it,
I seem to recall something of the sort.
**[04:21] Miwa**
Don't make trouble there.
**[04:23] Ibuki**
Right. I'll be on my best behavior.
**[04:28] Asaka**
Welcome...
**[04:33] Ren**
Huh. The apron look suits you, Asaka.
**[04:38] Asaka**
D-Don't say that, Ren!
**[04:41] Asaka**
I'm just helping out because
Misaki is letting me stay with her.
**[04:45] Kamui**
Stop making me repeat myself!
**[04:47] Kamui**
You use a Murakumo deck.
**[04:49] Kamui**
Your ace in the hole is
Dueling Dragon, ZANBAKU.
**[04:51] Kyou**
Zanbaku, mamba-cue, whatever.
**[04:54] Kyou**
I'm not interested in Vanguard anymore.
**[04:57] Kamui**
You're the one guy
I can't swallow that from!
**[05:03] Tetsu**
Asaka, what's this about?
**[05:05] Asaka**
I don't know...
**[05:09] Kyou**
Ren...
**[05:11] Ren**
Boy...
**[05:12] Ren**
Did you say you're not interested in Vanguard?
**[05:16] Kyou**
Right...
**[05:18] Kyou**
I lost all interest after
losing to Ibuki yesterday.
**[05:22] Tetsu**
You lost to Ibuki, too?!
**[05:30] Kai**
Tokura? What's up?
**[05:33] Kai**
What?! Aichi lost to a PSYqualia zombie?!
**[05:38] Misaki**
If Aichi shows up there,
you must not fight him.
**[05:43] Kai**
How is Aichi now?
**[05:45] Misaki**
He fainted after the fight.
He's now sleeping in the infirmary.
**[05:49] Misaki**
One of our members is watching over him.
**[05:55] Kai**
Watching over him?!
**[05:56] Kai**
Then where are you--
**[05:58] Kai**
Hey! Tokura!
**[06:03] Misaki**
I'm...
**[06:09] Kai**
What is Tokura going to do?
**[06:16] Misaki**
I'm just going to talk.
**[06:36] Ushimaru**
Tokura...
**[06:38] Ushimaru**
Please, help Kourin.
**[06:43] Ushimaru**
This is the battle room.
**[06:52] Kourin**
Misaki...
**[06:55] Misaki**
Kourin.
**[06:57] Misaki**
Are you the one who made Naoki a PSYqualia
zombie, and directed him to fight Aichi?
**[07:03] Kourin**
That's right.
**[07:04] Misaki**
Naoki seemed like
he was under so much stress.
**[07:07] Misaki**
He said he didn't want
to have a fight like that.
**[07:11] Misaki**
You've seen those two together
up close, more than anyone.
**[07:15] Misaki**
So how could you do this?!
**[07:16] Kourin**
I don't live by the same rules as you people.
**[07:23] Kourin**
Concert Master, Takuto...
**[07:26] Kourin**
He called me and oversees my fate.
**[07:30] Kourin**
I am a Called Walker.
**[07:34] Misaki**
Then Takuto is mind-controlling you?!
**[07:36] Kourin**
No.
**[07:37] Kourin**
My will is Takuto's will.
**[07:40] Kourin**
That's what I mean by overseeing my fate.
**[07:44] Takuto**
You know what to do, don't you, Kourin?
**[07:47] Takuto**
Make her one of our teammates, too.
**[07:50] Kourin**
Turning Naoki into a PSYqualia zombie...
**[07:53] Kourin**
Having Naoki and Aichi fight...
**[07:56] Kourin**
And now, defeating you and
turning you into a PSYqualia zombie...
**[08:01] Kourin**
It's by my own will.
**[08:04] Misaki**
You think I would accept your challenge?
**[08:07] Kourin**
If you beat me, the spell upon
Naoki and Aichi will be broken.
**[08:12] Kourin**
They will cease to be PSYqualia zombies.
**[08:16] Misaki**
Then I guess just talking won't solve this.
**[08:20] Kourin**
However, Misaki... if I win, you'll be...
**[08:32] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[08:38] Misaki**
Kourin, I remember.
**[08:43] Misaki**
I remember how, soon after
starting at Miyaji Academy,
**[08:46] Misaki**
you helped Aichi, and became
the first member of the Cardfight Club.
**[08:51] Misaki**
Unique Rectangle!
**[08:57] Misaki**
I remember how you chided me for
hesitating to join the club out of weird pride.
**[09:14] Misaki**
I remember how you made time
to participate despite your work,
**[09:17] Misaki**
and said that you would join us
for the Vanguard Koshien.
**[09:24] Misaki**
Have you forgotten about how
you treasured us, the Cardfight Club?
**[09:30] Kourin**
I told you.
**[09:32] Kourin**
I'm a Called Walker.
**[09:34] Kourin**
I act for the sake of my vanguard.
**[09:37] Kourin**
During the Asia Circuit,
**[09:39] Kourin**
Aichi showed us a glimpse of PSYqualia.
**[09:43] Kourin**
That made him a target of observation
for the Concert Master.
**[09:48] Misaki**
Observation?!
**[09:49] Misaki**
You're saying you came to
Miyaji Academy to spy on Aichi?!
**[09:53] Kourin**
Yes.
**[09:54] Misaki**
You're kidding!
**[09:56] Misaki**
But even if that was true
in the beginning, you're...
**[10:00] Misaki**
You're now...!
**[10:02] Kourin**
Blond Ezel attacks your Vanguard.
**[10:11] Kourin**
Drive check.
**[10:13] Kourin**
Second check.
**[10:14] Kourin**
Front trigger.
**[10:25] Kourin**
Perhaps.
**[10:26] Kourin**
When I was at the academy,
maybe I did feel that way.
**[10:29] Kourin**
But not now.
**[10:43] Kourin**
The Concert Master has
turned into the Destiny Conductor.
**[10:51] Misaki**
What does that mean?
**[10:53] Kourin**
All I can tell you is that
I'm not the same person I was before.
**[10:59] Misaki**
So your feelings...
**[11:01] Misaki**
If your master changes, then they change, too?
**[11:06] Kourin**
That's my fate.
**[11:10] Misaki**
Then I know what I have to do!
**[11:13] Misaki**
Kourin, I'm going to free you
from your curse of fate!
**[11:34] Misaki**
I ride!
**[11:41] Misaki**
Hexagonal Magus!
**[11:44] Misaki**
Imaginary Gift! Protect!
**[11:47] Misaki**
Skill activates!
**[11:49] Misaki**
I look at the top two cards of my deck,
**[11:51] Misaki**
return them in the order I like, and draw one.
**[11:55] Misaki**
I call Rectangle Magus!
**[11:57] Misaki**
Skill activates!
**[12:06] Misaki**
I call two Circle Magus units!
**[12:14] Misaki**
Here I go.
**[12:15] Misaki**
Fortune Passage!
**[12:18] Misaki**
Twin drive!
**[12:20] Misaki**
First check.
**[12:21] Misaki**
Circle Magus's skill activates.
**[12:23] Misaki**
I put this card at the bottom of my deck
**[12:26] Misaki**
and draw one card.
**[12:27] Misaki**
Second check.
**[12:30] Misaki**
Critical trigger!
**[12:31] Misaki**
I give the power to my
right-side Rectangle Magus,
**[12:36] Misaki**
and the extra critical to my Vanguard!
**[12:46] Misaki**
It ends here!
**[12:47] Rectangle Magi**
Unique Rectangle!
**[12:53] Kourin**
Dantegal!
**[12:54] Dantegal**
Aye aye, sir!
**[13:03] Kourin**
You're going to free me from my curse of fate?
**[13:10] Kourin**
Just as I'm bound by that curse,
**[13:13] Kourin**
you're bound by your past, so what can you do?
**[13:19] Kourin**
An accident...
**[13:21] Kourin**
It was a serious accident, wasn't it?
**[13:29] Kourin**
While you were at death's door,
**[13:30] Kourin**
your consciousness looked back
on everything in your past,
***SIGN*** Entrance Ceremony
**[13:34] Kourin**
as you experienced a "life review."
**[13:37] Kourin**
But that wasn't over in an instant.
**[13:41] Kourin**
Your life review repeated itself
again and again until rescue arrived,
**[13:46] Kourin**
but it felt like an eternity.
**[13:50] Kourin**
After that, you became able to retrieve
any memory from your past at will.
**[13:56] Kourin**
That's the true form of your eidetic memory:
experiencing memories as if in the moment.
**[14:04] Kourin**
I'm sure even you...
**[14:05] Kourin**
no, *especially* you
should be able to understand.
**[14:09] Kourin**
Fate can't be changed.
**[14:11] Kourin**
No one can be freed from the curse of fate!
**[14:16] Kourin**
Stand and draw!
**[14:18] Kourin**
I ride!
**[14:29] Kourin**
Raven-haired Ezel!
**[14:33] Kourin**
Imaginary Gift! Accel!
**[14:35] Kourin**
Come, Nemean Lion!
**[14:41] Kourin**
Player of the Holy Bow, Viviane, you too!
**[14:46] Kourin**
Also...
**[14:48] Kourin**
Skill activates!
**[14:51] Kourin**
I look at the top three cards of my deck,
**[14:54] Kourin**
and call Evil Slaying Swordsman, Haugan!
**[15:05] Misaki**
Five units in the front row...
**[15:08] Kourin**
Just like me,
**[15:09] Kourin**
you're bound by something unchangeable,
**[15:12] Kourin**
and now you'll become my teammate!
**[15:14] Takuto**
That's it, Kourin.
**[15:17] Takuto**
Your goal is to beat her
and make her your teammate.
**[15:24] Takuto**
If you do that, then...
**[15:26] Takuto**
...you can stay the way you are.
**[15:30] Kourin**
Raven-haired Ezel attacks your Vanguard!
**[15:32] Takuto**
You won't have to lose anything.
**[15:38] Kourin**
Lose...
**[15:40] Misaki**
Kourin?
**[15:46] Kourin**
Would I lose it all... again?
**[15:51] Kourin**
Even though I lost everything
at the beginning...
**[15:55] Kourin**
Even though I now have nothing...
**[15:57] Kourin**
Why must I lose so much, yet again?
**[16:02] Kourin**
So much...
**[16:04] Kourin**
Attack!
**[16:05] Kourin**
Skill activates!
**[16:07] Kourin**
+15,000 power!
**[16:11] Kourin**
An extra critical!
**[16:14] Kourin**
You can't call any sentinels!
As in, no perfect guards!
**[16:21] Kourin**
First check!
**[16:23] Kourin**
Second check!
**[16:24] Kourin**
Double critical!
**[16:27] Kourin**
What?!
**[16:29] Misaki**
Thank you, Sphere Magi!
**[16:32] Kourin**
Two heal triggers with 20,000 shield?!
**[16:37] Kourin**
Then Gareth attacks!
**[16:39] Kourin**
28,000 power!
**[16:41] Kourin**
Three criticals!
**[16:48] Kourin**
You still struggle?!
**[16:50] Misaki**
Psychic Bird!
**[17:00] Kourin**
I attacked you five times...
**[17:03] Misaki**
What's wrong, Kourin?
**[17:05] Misaki**
Why are you so afraid?
**[17:09] Kourin**
I'm not afraid.
**[17:12] Kourin**
I'm...
**[17:18] Kourin**
I'm a Called Walker.
**[17:22] Misaki**
Wrong!
**[17:23] Misaki**
You are...
**[17:25] Misaki**
Kourin Tatsunagi, a member of
the Miyaji Academy Cardfight Club!
**[17:29] Misaki**
With Naoki, Shingo, Aichi and me...
**[17:33] Misaki**
We've all been working hard with the club.
**[17:39] Misaki**
You're our precious teammate!
**[17:45] Kourin**
Teammate...
**[17:47] Misaki**
Even if you really have
lost the feelings you had then,
**[17:51] Misaki**
I still remember them.
**[17:54] Misaki**
Using my power,
**[17:56] Misaki**
I can see you watching over Aichi and
the other members from nearby, even now.
**[18:03] Kourin**
No... I...
**[18:09] Misaki**
I can see that Aichi and the others cherish you!
**[18:14] Misaki**
I ride!
**[18:20] Misaki**
Pentagonal Magus!
**[18:24] Misaki**
Now, remember, Kourin!
**[18:32] Misaki**
Falling Pentagonal!
**[18:35] Misaki**
Skill activates!
**[18:39] Misaki**
With this, Pentagonal has five drive checks!
**[18:43] Kourin**
Guard!
**[18:47] Misaki**
Pentagonal Magus gains +5000 power
for every trigger that's drawn!
**[18:53] Misaki**
Right now, its power is...
**[18:55] Misaki**
...50,000!
**[19:12] Aichi**
Kourin...
**[19:14] Naoki**
Hey, you're late!
**[19:18] Shingo**
I got tired of waiting for you.
**[19:25] Kourin**
All of you...
**[19:30] Kourin**
Yes...
**[19:33] Kourin**
My teammates...
**[20:12] Misaki**
Kourin!
**[20:35] Naoki**
Kourin...
**[20:36] Naoki**
Ow, ow!
**[20:38] Naoki**
Shingo, why'm I...?
**[20:40] Shingo**
Y-You're back to normal, aren't you?
**[20:43] Shingo**
I'm sure we can thank Misaki for that!
**[20:46] Shingo**
Then Sendou must also be...
**[20:48] Naoki**
Aichi?
**[20:50] Naoki**
Why's Aichi sleeping?
**[21:02] Takuto**
Congratulations.
**[21:06] Takuto**
As you wished, Kourin has been set free.
**[21:10] Takuto**
From being a PSYqualia zombie, at any rate.
**[21:13] Misaki**
What do you mean?
**[21:16] Takuto**
She can never be freed
from being a Called Walker.
**[21:23] Takuto**
Besides...
**[21:25] Naoki**
A-Aichi...?
**[21:32] Takuto**
...I could never relinquish
**[21:35] Takuto**
my most powerful PSYqualia zombie.
**[23:10] Aichi**
I think it's strange.
**[23:12] Aichi**
You keep going on and on
about potstickers... Unless...
**[23:15] Misaki**
S-Selling frozen potstickers
with an included card?!
**[23:18] Misaki**
I have no plans for that at all!
**[23:19] Aichi**
Really?
**[23:21] Aichi**
So you're behind this, Misaki?
**[23:22] Misaki**
Fine, I admit it!
**[23:24] Misaki**
But if something happened to me, a second and
third potsticker ambassador would surely appear!
**[23:29] Kourin**
Leave it to me.
**[23:30] Aichi**
K-Kourin? How do you fit into all this?
**[23:33] Kourin**
I'm willing to sell frozen potstickers.

**[00:10] Takuto**
Besides...
**[00:12] Naoki**
A-Aichi...?
**[00:27] Naoki**
Hey, Aichi, are you--
**[00:30] Shingo**
Wait, Ishida!
**[00:32] Shingo**
There's something strange about him.
**[00:38] Shingo**
Sendou!
**[00:38] Naoki**
Aichi!
**[00:43] Naoki**
Hold up! Where're you goin'?!
**[00:47] Naoki**
Aichi...
**[00:51] Aichi/Takuto**
Don't you dare touch me.
**[00:54] Naoki**
Who are you?!
**[00:57] Aichi**
I'm through with you. Move.
**[01:01] Shingo**
S-Sendou...
**[01:03] Naoki**
Shingo...
**[01:05] Naoki**
Let's follow Aichi!
**[01:09] Takuto**
Now, Aichi Sendou...
**[01:11] Takuto**
Together, you and I shall
take control of all Vanguard fighters.
**[01:21] Takuto**
It is my destiny to bring
all Vanguard fighters under my control!
**[01:27] Aichi**
Our imaginations will surpass that destiny!
**[01:30] Ibuki**
Not so fast!
**[01:32] Ibuki**
I'm going to Delete End all of you.
***SIGN*** Image 44 Entangled Fate
**[03:13] Takuto**
At last, the most powerful PSYqualia bearer,
**[03:16] Takuto**
Aichi Sendou, has fallen into my hands!
**[03:19] Misaki**
Wait, I beat Kourin!
**[03:24] Kourin**
If you beat me, the spell upon
Naoki and Aichi will be broken.
**[03:29] Takuto**
It's true that Kourin is the one who infected
your Cardfight Club member, Naoki Ishida.
**[03:35] Takuto**
But the source of Aichi Sendou's infection...
**[03:39] Takuto**
Become my...
**[03:41] Kourin**
Become our...
**[03:42] Naoki**
...and my...
**[03:44] The Three**
...teammate!
**[03:53] Misaki**
It wasn't just Kourin?!
**[03:55] Takuto**
Correct. And she herself was unaware of that.
**[04:00] Takuto**
You did well, Kourin.
**[04:02] Misaki**
You've got some nerve!
**[04:05] Misaki**
Your control over Kourin
has brought her nothing but suffering!
**[04:09] Misaki**
Release Kourin from the spell you put on her!
**[04:12] Takuto**
It seems there's been a misunderstanding.
**[04:15] Takuto**
Her fate to be a Called Walker
is not a burden I laid upon her.
**[04:22] Takuto**
It's her destiny, as it has been
ever since she was born a Tatsunagi.
**[04:27] Misaki**
What?! Then you're saying
she can't go back to normal?
**[04:31] Takuto**
Who knows?
**[04:33] Takuto**
If I were to be beaten
in a Vanguard fight, then perhaps...
**[04:39] Takuto**
However!
**[04:41] Takuto**
Being set free from being a Called Walker
**[04:44] Takuto**
would mean that she loses everything.
**[04:48] Takuto**
Her memories would be reset.
**[04:50] Takuto**
She wouldn't know you anymore.
You'd be a stranger to her.
**[04:56] Takuto**
Would you still do it, even so...?
**[04:58] Misaki**
I...
**[05:01] Misaki**
What should I do, Kourin?
**[05:06] Asaka**
Thank you very much!
**[05:08] Asaka**
Please come again!
**[05:10] Customer**
I will!
**[05:12] Shin**
H-How wonderful!
**[05:15] Kamui**
Here I go!
**[05:16] Kamui**
Stand up...
**[05:18] Kyou**
I'm leaving.
**[05:19] Kamui**
Come on, just fight me!
**[05:24] Kyou**
I told you, I'm not interested.
**[05:26] Ren**
Biwa's taking a while...
**[05:29] Kai**
My apologies to Miwa,
but I have to go find Aichi!
**[05:33] Kai**
I can't just let him be some stupid zombie!
**[05:38] Ren**
Hold on, Kai.
**[05:40] Ren**
You think you can beat Aichi as he is now?
**[05:44] Ren**
Can't you imagine it?
**[05:46] Ren**
Just how powerful
Aichi's PSYqualia has gotten,
**[05:49] Ren**
now that he's become a zombie...
**[05:53] Ren**
Right now, Aichi is the worst
possible enemy for either of us to face.
**[06:00] Ren**
Of course you won't listen to reason.
**[06:03] Ren**
In that case...
**[06:05] Ren**
I'm going with you.
**[06:07] Kai**
Ren!
**[06:08] Ren**
I'm worried too,
especially since it's Aichi.
**[06:12] Kai**
Ren, you...
**[06:14] Tetsu**
W-Wait a second!
**[06:16] Tetsu**
If Sendou were to beat both of you...
**[06:19] Ren**
We'll be fine. Together, the two of us
will get through it, somehow or other.
**[06:26] Ren**
Shall we go?
**[06:26] Tetsu**
Wait, Ren!
**[06:28] Ren**
Well, even if we did lose,
all it'd mean is that Aichi is *really* strong.
**[06:41] Kyou**
If you wanna go, go.
**[06:43] Kamui**
Wh-What're ya talking about?!
**[06:45] Kamui**
I'm not leaving!
**[06:46] Kamui**
Come on, we're fighting here!
**[06:52] Miwa**
Kai!
**[06:53] Miwa**
Ack! You're still here?
**[06:56] Kai**
It's you...
**[06:57] Miwa**
Recognize this guy?
**[07:00] Ren**
Kouji Ibuki.
**[07:02] Kamui**
Ibuki?!
**[07:04] Ibuki**
It's been a while, Kai.
**[07:10] Kai**
Sorry, I've got somewhere to be.
**[07:13] Ibuki**
You're going to leave me behind, again?
**[07:16] Ibuki**
Tell me where you have to be.
**[07:19] Miwa**
Yeah, Kai!
**[07:21] Kai**
It's Aichi...
**[07:23] Kai**
He's apparently become a PSYqualia zombie.
**[07:26] Miwa**
Are you serious?!
**[07:27] Ibuki**
Huh. You're seeing me
for the first time in ages,
**[07:30] Ibuki**
yet that weakling is more important to you?
**[07:34] Ibuki**
I can't let you go to Aichi Sendou.
**[07:37] Miwa**
Wh-What brought that on, Ibuki?
**[07:40] Ibuki**
I'm not saying you have to
force your way past me.
**[07:47] Ibuki**
Beat me at Vanguard.
Only then will I let you go.
**[07:53] Miwa**
W-Wait a minute! You're...
**[07:57] Miwa**
You're the one who
taught me and Kai Vanguard.
**[08:00] Miwa**
You're *our* vanguard!
**[08:03] Miwa**
So why are you acting like you're our enemy?!
**[08:07] Ibuki**
I *am* the enemy!
**[08:10] Ibuki**
I don't mean your enemy, personally.
**[08:14] Ibuki**
I hate all Vanguard fighters.
**[08:17] Ibuki**
And Vanguard.
**[08:19] Ibuki**
That's right.
**[08:20] Ibuki**
I'm the enemy of everything Vanguard!
**[08:24] Ibuki**
That's why I decided to erase all of it.
**[08:28] Ren**
Erase it...
**[08:29] Ren**
Hence your Deletors?
**[08:33] Ibuki**
One day, my imagination exploded,
**[08:37] Ibuki**
and the next thing I knew,
they were in my hand.
**[08:40] Ibuki**
Takuto claimed he gave them to me.
**[08:45] Takuto**
Thank you, Ibuki, for picking up
those Deletors that I sent over.
**[08:51] Tetsu**
Then you're...
**[08:53] Ibuki**
Don't say it!
**[08:54] Ibuki**
I've never been that jerk's minion.
**[08:57] Ibuki**
His goal...
**[08:59] Ibuki**
...is to control Vanguard fighters.
**[09:02] Ibuki**
He's welcome to do that if he likes.
**[09:05] Ibuki**
At least, until I erase them all!
**[09:07] Ren**
Wow, what nonsense.
**[09:10] Ren**
While it sounds like you've got
some grudge against Vanguard,
**[09:13] Ren**
that has nothing to do with us.
**[09:15] Ibuki**
What?!
**[09:17] Ren**
But because of it, you stole
Vanguard from Tetsu and that boy.
**[09:22] Ren**
That's unforgivable.
**[09:23] Tetsu**
Ren!
**[09:25] Ibuki**
I unshackled them from the chains of battle.
**[09:28] Ibuki**
I'd hope that they'd be grateful to me.
**[09:36] Ren**
Kai...
**[09:36] Kai**
Ren. Go to Aichi.
**[09:41] Ren**
And just leave this creep who stole
Vanguard from Tetsu and that boy?
**[09:46] Kai**
You're not the one who should fight him.
**[09:49] Ren**
Kai...
**[09:52] Ibuki**
So sure of yourself...
**[09:54] Ibuki**
I don't care who I fight first.
**[09:57] Ibuki**
I'll mow down the other one soon enough.
**[10:01] Ren**
Kai...
**[10:02] Ren**
We love Vanguard.
**[10:04] Ren**
And this guy is the enemy
of everything Vanguard.
**[10:11] Ren**
If you lose, you'll be the enemy, too.
**[10:14] Kai**
I know.
**[10:16] Ren**
Let's go, Tetsu.
**[10:18] Tetsu**
Right.
**[10:20] Asaka**
Ren, please be careful!
**[10:23] Ren**
I'll be back soon, Asaka!
**[10:27] Kai**
Sheesh...
**[10:29] Kai**
It'll be tough if Ren becomes
my enemy on top of Aichi.
**[10:33] Kai**
Ibuki! Fight me!
**[10:36] Kamui**
I'm sure if Kyou sees Kai win,
he'll get back his passion for Vanguard!
**[10:43] Kamui**
Come on!
**[10:44] Kyou**
Hey, what are you--
**[10:45] Kamui**
We're gonna go watch!
**[10:47] Kamui**
Just come on!
**[10:53] Kamui**
I'm counting on ya, Kai!
**[10:58] Kai**
What happened to you after I moved away?
**[11:01] Ibuki**
Guess.
**[11:03] Kai**
You're still able to fight.
**[11:05] Kai**
So you kept playing Vanguard?
**[11:07] Ibuki**
No, I didn't.
**[11:09] Ibuki**
I was estranged from Vanguard
for the longest time.
**[11:13] Kai**
Estranged?
**[11:15] Kai**
I can't picture the Ibuki I knew quitting.
**[11:18] Ibuki**
But this deck of Deletors...
**[11:21] Ibuki**
These units led me back to the fight!
**[11:25] Kai**
Everything about a person...
**[11:28] Kai**
...is embodied in their fighting.
**[11:33] Kai**
I'm going to use this fight to get to
the bottom of who you are now, Ibuki!
**[11:38] Ibuki**
Is that all the determination you've got?
**[11:40] Ibuki**
I'm going to erase it.
**[11:42] Ibuki**
Along with you, and your precious Vanguard!
**[12:24] Miwa**
Why do we have to fight
against each other like this?
**[12:31] Miwa**
Wouldn't you think that, at a reunion,
**[12:34] Miwa**
we'd be able to talk to
each other the way we used to?
**[12:43] Ibuki**
Well, shall we imagine it?
**[12:50] Ibuki**
Here I come, Kai!
**[12:53] Kai**
Ready.
**[12:54] Ibuki/Kai**
Stand up the Vanguard!
**[12:58] Kai**
Lizard Runner, Undeux!
**[13:03] Ibuki**
Sprout Deletor, Luchi.
**[13:10] Asaka**
That's a Deletor?
**[13:14] Ibuki**
Now it's your turn.
**[13:18] Kai**
I ride!
**[13:20] Kai**
Sabel Dragonewt!
**[13:25] Ibuki**
I ride...
**[13:28] Ibuki**
Ferment Deletor, Gaen.
**[13:36] Ibuki**
Come forth, Gatario!
**[13:49] Kamui**
Uh oh!
**[13:59] Genjo**
My Vanguard!
**[14:08] Kai**
Thank you!
**[14:13] Shin**
Whew, that was some attack.
**[14:17] Kamui**
You better not lose, Kai!
**[14:21] Ren**
Aichi's not here, huh?
**[14:26] Tetsu**
Where shall we look for him?
**[14:29] Ren**
I bet you have some idea, right?
**[14:34] Ren**
Rekka Tatsunagi, was it?
**[14:36] Tetsu**
When did she...?!
**[14:38] Ren**
She's been following us the whole way.
**[14:40] Ren**
Ever since we left Capital.
**[14:44] Rekka**
You were on to me, huh?
**[14:46] Rekka**
And here I thought I was pretty well disguised.
**[14:49] Rekka**
Party pooper!
**[14:51] Ren**
Well, when you're emitting
waves of hostility like that, then...
**[14:55] Ren**
You know?
**[14:57] Rekka**
That's because I've got a beef with you!
**[15:00] Rekka**
Since Su is now useless to us,
**[15:03] Rekka**
I have to be in charge of monitoring you.
**[15:06] Ren**
So you're saying it's my fault?
**[15:08] Ren**
But what's the point of spying on me?
**[15:11] Rekka**
Don't ask me!
**[15:13] Rekka**
Takuto ordered me to, so I just do it.
**[15:16] Ren**
Is that right?
**[15:17] Ren**
Apart from that, do you know where Aichi is?
**[15:22] Rekka**
If he's not here,
Takuto probably called him in.
**[15:26] Tetsu**
Then he's at the Tatsunagi mansion?
**[15:28] Ren**
I was afraid of that.
**[15:31] Ren**
That's the last place I was hoping he'd be.
**[15:35] Rekka**
Okay, I can take you there.
**[15:38] Rekka**
If you beat me in a fight, that is.
**[15:43] Ren**
Always looking for a fight.
**[15:45] Ren**
The sure trait of a PSYqualia zombie.
**[15:49] Rekka**
You know it.
**[15:51] Rekka**
But let's go someplace else.
**[15:53] Rekka**
Idols fight in private.
**[15:56] Rekka**
This is too out in the open.
**[15:58] Ren**
You don't say...
**[16:03] Kai**
I ride!
**[16:06] Kai**
Dragon Full-armored Buster!
**[16:11] Kai**
Its skill activates!
**[16:17] Kai**
To me, Dragonic Neoflame!
**[16:23] Kai**
Lizard Soldier, Raopia!
**[16:29] Kai**
Dragonic Neoflame attacks!
**[16:37] Ibuki**
Guard!
**[16:43] Kai**
Drive check!
**[16:48] Asaka**
It's a critical trigger!
**[17:01] Kamui**
Ibuki got one, too?!
**[17:05] Kamui**
Kyou?
**[17:07] Ren**
Ride The Vanguard!
**[17:17] Ren**
Imaginary Gift, Force.
**[17:22] Ren**
Dark Bond Trumpeter.
**[17:36] Ren**
Here I come.
**[17:37] Ren**
Gust Blaster Dragon attacks your Vanguard!
**[17:42] Ren**
Its skill activates.
**[17:58] Ren**
I retired two cards, so Gust Blaster Dragon
**[18:02] Ren**
gets two extra criticals and +10,000 power.
**[18:08] Rekka**
Protect me!
**[18:10] Ren**
Twin drive.
**[18:12] Ren**
First check.
**[18:15] Ren**
Second check.
**[18:17] Ren**
I got a critical trigger!
**[18:20] Ren**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard.
**[18:37] Tetsu**
Same old Ren.
**[18:41] Tetsu**
Why did you pick a fight with him,
when you knew you would lose?
**[18:46] Rekka**
Beats me.
**[18:47] Rekka**
But it's boring just
following Takuto's orders.
**[18:51] Rekka**
Maybe that's why?
**[18:54] Tetsu**
You're baffling.
**[18:56] Ren**
Now, take us to the Tatsunagi mansion.
**[19:02] Ren**
To be honest, I don't know
how far I can fight at my current skill level.
**[19:07] Ren**
But if I end up not being good enough,
**[19:10] Ren**
I have faith that you'll
bring Aichi back to normal...
**[19:14] Ren**
...Kai.
**[19:27] Ibuki**
I ride...
**[19:29] Ibuki**
Swift Deletor, Geali!
**[19:37] Ibuki**
Come to me, Alba and Gaen!
**[19:42] Asaka**
He deployed more units!
**[19:44] Ibuki**
Go, Alba!
**[19:50] Kai**
Dragonic Neoflame!
**[19:55] Ibuki**
Geali attacks your Vanguard.
**[19:58] Kai**
No guard!
**[20:00] Ibuki**
Drive check.
**[20:02] Ibuki**
Critical trigger.
**[20:11] Ibuki**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
**[20:17] Kamui**
Here it comes!
**[20:19] Kamui**
Look out, Kai!
**[20:21] Ibuki**
It's too late.
**[20:30] Ibuki**
Geali's skill activates!
**[20:54] Ibuki**
Vanish Delete.
**[20:56] Ibuki**
That unit has been removed from the fight.
**[20:59] Shin**
He removed a rear-guard?
**[21:01] Asaka**
A unit disappeared from the board!
**[21:04] Kyou**
No! I don't wanna be erased!
**[21:08] Kamui**
Calm down, Kyou!
**[21:10] Kamui**
It's okay!
**[21:11] Kamui**
I'm sure Kai will beat him!
**[21:16] Ibuki**
That'll happen to you next, Kai.
**[23:11] Misaki**
Shin, what is all this?
**[23:13] Shin**
Well, uh...
**[23:14] Misaki**
They're all photos of Asaka at work here!
**[23:17] Shin**
I finally came to a realization.
She's an angel who came down to Card Capital!
**[23:21] Shin**
Our customers also recognize her magnificence!
**[23:23] Misaki**
*That's* why you'll be selling photos of her?
**[23:25] Misaki**
Forget it!
**[23:26] Misaki**
If Asaka found out about this,
she'd tear you limb from limb!
**[23:30] Shin**
But our next wave will be the mighty SR!
**[23:32] Shin**
In other words: Suzugamori Rare!
See my prized snapshots of Ren!

**[23:36] Misaki**
I'm amazed you took so many...
**[23:37] Asaka**
I-I'd like to make a pre-order!

**[00:00] Ibuki**
Vanish Delete.
**[00:02] Ibuki**
That unit has been removed from the fight.
**[00:05] Shin**
He removed a rear-guard?
**[00:07] Asaka**
A unit disappeared from the board!
**[00:10] Kyou**
No! I don't wanna be erased!
**[00:14] Kamui**
Calm down, Kyou!
**[00:16] Kamui**
It's okay!
**[00:17] Kamui**
I'm sure Kai will beat him!
**[00:24] Kai**
A "deletor," huh?
**[00:26] Kai**
That ability seems like it negates
the existence of Vanguard itself.
**[00:33] Kai**
But you're the one who taught us
how much fun Vanguard could be,
**[00:38] Kai**
so why...?
**[00:41] Ibuki**
It's like I told you.
I've despised Vanguard for a very long time.
**[00:47] Miwa**
You liar!
**[00:49] Miwa**
The three of us used to
play Vanguard every day!
**[00:54] Ibuki**
And just what do you know about me?
**[01:00] Kai**
It's true that you've changed
from the way you were back then,
**[01:04] Kai**
but then, so have I!
**[01:07] Kai**
I'll show you who I am now!
**[01:10] Kai**
Dance, crimson flames!
**[01:13] Kai**
I ride!
**[01:20] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord "The Vanguard"!
**[01:28] Takuto**
It is my destiny to bring
all Vanguard fighters under my control!
**[01:34] Aichi**
Our imaginations will surpass that destiny!
**[01:37] Ibuki**
Not so fast!
**[01:39] Ibuki**
I'm going to Delete End all of you.
***SIGN*** Image 45 Rivalry
**[03:18] Kamui**
There it is! Dragonic Overlord!
**[03:21] Kamui**
Toshiki Kai's avatar!
**[03:24] Kyou**
"Avatar"?
**[03:27] Kai**
Imaginary Gift!
**[03:28] Kai**
Force!
**[03:34] Kai**
Furthermore, I call Berserk Dragon
and Embodiment of Armor, Bahr!
**[03:40] Kai**
Berserk's skill activates!
**[03:49] Kai**
I'm counting on you guys!
**[03:53] Ibuki**
No guard.
**[03:55] Ibuki**
Damage check.
**[04:00] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord attacks your Vanguard!
**[04:04] Kai**
Eternal Flame!
**[04:07] Ibuki**
No guard.
**[04:09] Kai**
Twin drive.
**[04:11] Kai**
First check.
**[04:13] Kai**
Second check.
**[04:15] Ibuki**
Damage check.
**[04:18] Miwa**
A critical trigger!
**[04:20] Ibuki**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard.
**[04:27] Ibuki**
What's wrong?
**[04:29] Ibuki**
Is this the best you can do, Toshiki Kai?
**[04:32] Ibuki**
You can hit me harder than that.
**[04:35] Kai**
My turn's over.
**[04:37] Shin**
That's Kai, all right.
**[04:39] Shin**
A very calm decision.
**[04:42] Miwa**
But I'm sure Ibuki also knows that,
which is why he fed into it.
**[04:46] Kamui**
You get it?
**[04:47] Kamui**
Since Dragonic Overlord
succeeded on the first attack,
**[04:51] Kamui**
he could've done a superior stand!
**[04:53] Kamui**
But that would've decreased his hand,
plus he'd lose the twin drive.
**[04:57] Kyou**
I don't get it at all.
**[04:59] Kyou**
If you're gonna explain things,
make them easier to understand!
**[05:02] Kamui**
S-Sorry!
**[05:04] Kamui**
You're the one who told me
about PSYqualia and a whole bunch more...
**[05:09] Kamui**
But since your bond with Vanguard was severed,
**[05:11] Kamui**
you don't even know this much anymore.
**[05:15] Kamui**
Darn it!
**[05:18] Kamui**
Please, Kai!
**[05:19] Kamui**
Beat that guy, whatever it takes!
**[05:22] Ibuki**
It's my turn.
**[05:25] Ibuki**
The Joker of nothingness
that erases the links of destiny...
**[05:29] Ibuki**
I ride!
**[05:42] Ibuki**
Docking Deletor, Greion.
**[05:46] Ibuki**
Moreover,
**[05:47] Ibuki**
I call Breaking Deletor, Gatario
**[05:49] Ibuki**
and Swift Deletor, Geali.
**[06:00] Ibuki**
Greion's Counterblast.
**[06:15] Kai**
Overlord!
**[06:17] Ibuki**
Docking Delete.
**[06:25] Miwa**
Kai's Overlord was deleted!
**[06:29] Ibuki**
Now you're just an astral body.
**[06:33] Ibuki**
I'm going to "delete" you.
**[06:37] Kamui**
No, don't!
**[06:37] Shin**
Kamui!
**[06:39] Kamui**
Why are you doing this?!
**[06:42] Kamui**
You don't have the right to take away
fighters' bonds with Vanguard!
**[06:48] Ibuki**
Just what is with this shop?
**[06:51] Ibuki**
All these noisy spectators make it
hard to concentrate on the fight.
**[06:55] Kai**
Hold on, Ibuki.
**[06:58] Kai**
Your units are overflowing with the emotions
of "hatred" and "profound abandonment."
**[07:04] Kai**
Tell me, Ibuki.
**[07:06] Kai**
Why did you, our onetime vanguard,
choose units like these?!
**[07:11] Ibuki**
Your "vanguard," huh?
**[07:15] Ibuki**
I did once teach you guys the joy of Vanguard,
**[07:19] Ibuki**
which combines elements
of wisdom, insight and fate.
**[07:24] Ibuki**
But now, I truly regret having done that.
**[07:28] Kai**
You regret it?!
**[07:30] Ibuki**
Strong or weak, win or loss...
**[07:34] Ibuki**
You're forced into an endless ranking system.
**[07:37] Ibuki**
That's the world of Vanguard.
**[07:39] Ibuki**
And I'm the one who lured
you guys into that infinite hell.
**[07:45] Ibuki**
That's why...
**[07:47] Ibuki**
...it's time for me to cut you guys loose
from the bonds that shackle you!
**[07:56] Miwa**
Kai!
**[07:58] Ibuki**
Begone!
**[08:00] Ibuki**
Greion, Delete End!
**[08:08] Kamui**
A perfect guard!
**[08:12] Shin**
It looks like Kai still has a shred of hope.
**[08:16] Asaka**
But if he possesses that power,
that PSYqualia, then he can see
**[08:22] Asaka**
the image of Toshiki Kai losing!
**[08:25] Ibuki**
Twin drive.
**[08:27] Ibuki**
First check.
**[08:28] Ibuki**
Critical trigger.
**[08:30] Ibuki**
I give all of the effects to Geali.
**[08:32] Ibuki**
Second check.
**[08:34] Kamui**
A double critical?!
**[08:36] Ibuki**
You're going to lose, Kai!
**[08:39] Miwa**
This makes Geali's power 42,000!
**[08:41] Shin**
And with three criticals!
**[08:43] Shin**
Unless Kai can protect himself
from this attack, he's going to lose!
**[08:52] Aermo**
My Vanguard!
**[08:53] Genjo**
May you be victorious!
**[08:55] Miwa**
That was close!
**[08:57] Kamui**
He managed to block it
with a bunch of guardians!
**[09:00] Shin**
Conserving the cards in his hand
that last turn certainly paid off!
**[09:05] Ibuki**
Feeling desperate, Kai?
**[09:07] Ibuki**
Are you that afraid of being deleted?
**[09:10] Kai**
Yes.
**[09:12] Kai**
Vanguard is my...
**[09:14] Ibuki**
Were you about to say "hope"?
**[09:18] Ibuki**
You used to be so full of hope.
**[09:22] Ibuki**
At least, until you disappeared...
**[09:35] Ibuki**
I heard your parents abandoned you.
**[09:38] Miwa**
Ibuki! You don't have to put it like that!
**[09:41] Kai**
It's okay, Miwa.
**[09:42] Kai**
It's the truth.
**[09:44] Kai**
While it's true that I went
through a rough time because of that,
**[09:47] Kai**
I still had Vanguard.
**[09:50] Kai**
I had the friends that I met through Vanguard,
**[09:52] Kai**
so I was able to overcome that adversity.
**[09:56] Ibuki**
You were looking to *this* for salvation?
**[09:59] Ibuki**
How naive can you get?
**[10:02] Kai**
Watch this and then tell me
if I'm naive or not!
**[10:05] Kai**
Arise once more, flames of the apocalypse!
**[10:10] Kai**
I ride!
**[10:15] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord the Great!
**[10:21] Kai**
Imaginary Gift!
**[10:23] Kai**
Force!
**[10:27] Kamui**
A second Imaginary Gift!
**[10:30] Miwa**
That's +20,000 power!
**[10:33] Kai**
Embodiment of hellfire lying dormant in Hades,
**[10:36] Kai**
now is the time to awaken
and fight alongside me!
**[10:41] Kai**
Dragonic Neoflame!
**[10:44] Kamui**
Awesome!
**[10:45] Miwa**
The Great has a skill that can
superior call Dragonic Neoflame!
**[10:52] Kyou**
Superior... call...
**[10:56] Kyou**
The heck?! This is so irritating!
**[10:59] Kai**
And then I call Bahr!
**[11:05] Kai**
I refuse to allow you to erase our bond!
**[11:26] Kai**
Neoflame Burst!
**[11:30] Kai**
I'm counting on you guys!
**[11:35] Ibuki**
Oh no, you don't!
**[11:39] Kamui**
Rats!
**[11:40] Miwa**
He blocked it!
**[11:42] Kai**
I'm not done yet!
**[11:43] Kai**
The Great attacks your Vanguard!
**[11:46] Kai**
Dragonic Neoflame's skill activates!
**[11:49] Kai**
The Great gets +5000 power!
**[11:52] Kai**
Counterblast!
**[11:53] Kai**
The Great gets an extra critical!
**[12:02] Kamui**
So he did have a perfect guard!
**[12:05] Miwa**
Yeah, but that proves Ibuki is shaken up.
**[12:08] Asaka**
What about the drive check?
**[12:12] Kai**
As long as they have their fighting spirit,
**[12:14] Kai**
the dragons of Kagero
**[12:15] Kai**
will rise again!
**[12:18] Asaka**
He re-stood two cards at once?!
**[12:20] Shin**
The Great really is great!
**[12:22] Kai**
I'm going to burn up your
deep resentment, right here and now!
**[12:28] Ibuki**
No guard.
**[12:29] Kai**
Drive check!
**[12:31] Kai**
Critical trigger!
**[12:32] Kai**
I give the power to Dragonic Neoflame,
**[12:35] Kai**
and the extra critical to The Great!
**[12:44] Miwa**
Kai's attack went through!
**[12:47] Kamui**
Then he did it?
**[12:52] Ibuki**
Damage check...
**[13:01] Ibuki**
Heal trigger.
**[13:03] Kai**
PSY...qualia...?
**[13:06] Ibuki**
I give the power to Greion.
**[13:09] Shin**
Oh no...
**[13:11] Kamui**
Kai re-stood Neoflame, but now
its attack is gonna get blocked!
**[13:24] Kai**
For how long?
**[13:28] Kai**
How long have you been fighting
while using that PSYqualia sense?
**[13:34] Ibuki**
When I was staring into the abyss,
**[13:38] Ibuki**
this ability awakened.
**[13:43] Ibuki**
And then...
**[13:45] Ibuki**
...I was guided to
put together this Deletor deck.
**[13:51] Ibuki**
Kai...
**[13:53] Ibuki**
If our fights hadn't been so much fun,
**[14:00] Ibuki**
I would've trashed this deck right away.
**[14:06] Ibuki**
It's my turn!
**[14:08] Ibuki**
Ride The Vanguard!
**[14:21] Ibuki**
My avatar...
**[14:23] Ibuki**
Waving Deletor, Greidhol!
**[14:27] Ibuki**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[14:33] Ibuki**
Greidhol's skill activates!
**[14:40] Ibuki**
Vanish Delete!
**[14:42] Kai**
What?!
**[14:44] Ibuki**
The beat of your heart,
**[14:47] Ibuki**
the sound of your breath,
**[14:49] Ibuki**
the rustling of your clothes...
**[14:52] Ibuki**
I'm going to delete every
last sound that you produce!
**[14:57] Ibuki**
Greidhol will do it for me!
**[15:02] Ibuki**
Turn to dust and blow away!
**[15:05] Ibuki**
Docking Release!
**[15:19] Kai**
Ibuki, let's play Vanguard!
**[15:23] Ibuki**
Don't bother me!
**[15:25] Ibuki**
Greidhol attacks your Vanguard!
**[15:28] Kai**
No guard!
**[15:29] Ibuki**
Twin drive...
**[15:30] Ibuki**
First check!
**[15:33] Ibuki**
Second check!
**[15:35] Kai**
Damage check...
**[15:45] Shin**
Kai!
**[15:46] Kamui**
Kai!
**[15:47] Miwa**
Kai!
**[15:53] Kai**
Ibuki...
**[15:55] Kai**
You've even manifested PSYqualia.
**[15:59] Kai**
No matter how much
you talk about resentment,
**[16:02] Kai**
I suspect that, even now,
you're still enjoying Vanguard.
**[16:06] Ibuki**
Delete End!
**[16:09] Kai**
Just like he does.
**[16:18] Ibuki**
Begone!
**[16:20] Ibuki**
Disappear!
**[16:36] Ibuki**
What is this?
**[16:42] Ibuki**
Memories...?
**[16:45] Ibuki**
My PSYqualia is showing me...
**[16:47] Ibuki**
...Kai's memories of Vanguard.
**[17:12] Miwa**
Kai!
**[17:13] Kai**
Just as Tetsu said...
**[17:15] Kai**
So this is the sensation of having
your bond with Vanguard... disappear?
**[17:28] Ibuki**
Congratulations, Kai.
**[17:29] Ibuki**
Now you too have been released
from the curse of Vanguard.
**[17:35] Kai**
I'm used to loss.
**[17:37] Kai**
I'm sure I can start over again.
**[17:45] Miwa**
Steady, man!
**[17:54] Rekka**
I'll have a cola.
**[17:56] Ren**
Buy it yourself.
**[17:57] Rekka**
Cheapskate! I wanna cola!
**[17:57] Asaka**
Hello?
**[17:58] Tetsu**
It's me.
**[18:00] Ren**
Shhh!
**[18:00] Tetsu**
We received word that Aichi Sendou
is on his way to Tatsunagi's home.
**[18:03] Tetsu**
We're going to follow him there.
**[18:06] Tetsu**
How are things on your side?
**[18:08] Asaka**
Actually...
**[18:11] Ibuki**
I just settled things here.
**[18:14] Ibuki**
I've deleted Kai.
**[18:17] Tetsu**
Kai... lost?!
**[18:20] Ibuki**
I'll be on my way to the Tatsunagi residence.
**[18:23] Ibuki**
Tell Ren that it's his turn next.
**[18:27] Tetsu**
Wait!
**[18:30] Ren**
Sounds like a worst-case scenario.
**[18:32] Tetsu**
I'm sorry about this.
**[18:34] Ren**
No need to apologize.
**[18:36] Ren**
He's the bad guy, after all.
**[18:39] Rekka**
Sure you won't change your mind?
**[18:40] Rekka**
Do you stand a chance of beating
Takuto, Aichi and Ibuki all by yourself?
**[18:46] Ren**
I don't know...
**[18:50] Ren**
...but I'd like to do whatever I can.
**[18:53] Ren**
I hate to see the Vanguard
I love get messed around with.
**[19:01] Asaka**
Hold it!
**[19:04] Asaka**
I won't let you get to Ren!
**[19:07] Kamui**
Me neither! Fight me!
**[19:10] Ibuki**
What's this? You two wish
to be deleted, as well?
**[19:14] Asaka**
We won't know who wins...
**[19:16] Kamui**
...until we actually play!
**[19:20] Kyou**
Don't!
**[19:22] Kamui**
Kyou...
**[19:24] Kyou**
You mustn't fight him!
**[19:30] Kai**
Ibuki!
**[19:32] Ibuki**
What more do you want?
**[19:34] Ibuki**
To reminisce about the old days?
**[19:37] Kai**
No.
**[19:38] Kai**
If anything, let's talk about now.
**[19:42] Kai**
That was a fun Vanguard fight...
**[19:47] Miwa**
Kai!
**[20:09] Naoki**
The heck? This mansion's huge.
**[20:14] Shingo**
The Tatsunagi Foundation...
**[20:16] Shingo**
This is Takuto Tatsunagi's mansion!
**[20:19] Naoki**
What?!
**[20:20] Naoki**
Don't just stand around!
We've gotta get in there!
**[20:23] Shingo**
Wait!
**[20:24] Shingo**
What if we find a nest
of PSYqualia zombies inside?!
**[20:28] Naoki**
Bein' chicken ain't gonna help us!
**[20:30] Naoki**
Even the Boss came here
to snap Kourin out of it!
**[20:33] Naoki**
That's why she left Aichi
in your care, remember?!
**[20:38] Shingo**
So Misaki is in there, too...
**[20:46] The Two**
Suiko Tatsunagi!
**[20:49] Suiko**
Don't worry.
**[20:51] Suiko**
I'm not a zombie or a Vanguard fighter anymore.
**[20:55] Shingo**
There's something odd about her...
**[20:58] Naoki**
Is Kourin here?
**[20:59] Suiko**
Yes, she is. Go ahead.
**[21:24] Misaki**
Aichi!
**[23:11] Kamui**
Darn it! Now even Kai's had
his bond with Vanguard severed!
**[23:15] Kamui**
At this rate, Kyou won't
get back to normal either!
**[23:17] Kyou**
Don't worry, Kamui.
I've found a new hope.
**[23:21] Kamui**
What new hope?
**[23:22] Kyou**
It's a game that boasts
several hundred million players worldwide:
**[23:25] Kyou**
Mahjong!
**[23:26] Kyou**
Tomorrow, I'm gonna start
my new life as a mahjong player!
**[23:30] Tetsu**
Don't miss the new show,
*Yahagi: Legend of the Royal Cup.*
**[23:34] Kyou**
Double Push!
**[23:34] Kamui**
Whoa, you're gonna get in trouble
for stealing that tag line!

**[00:05] Misaki**
Kourin...
**[00:07] Misaki**
You've got some nerve!
**[00:10] Misaki**
Your control over Kourin
has brought her nothing but suffering!
**[00:14] Misaki**
Release Kourin from the spell you put on her!
**[00:17] Takuto**
It seems there's been a misunderstanding.
**[00:20] Takuto**
Her fate to be a Called Walker
is not a burden I laid upon her.
**[00:27] Takuto**
It's her destiny, as it has been
ever since she was born a Tatsunagi.
**[00:32] Misaki**
What?! Then you're saying
she can't go back to normal?
**[00:36] Takuto**
Who knows?
**[00:38] Takuto**
If I were to be beaten
in a Vanguard fight, then perhaps...
**[00:44] Takuto**
However!
**[00:46] Takuto**
Being set free from being a Called Walker
**[00:49] Takuto**
would mean that she loses everything.
**[00:53] Takuto**
Her memories would be reset.
**[00:55] Takuto**
She wouldn't know you anymore.
You'd be a stranger to her.
**[01:00] Misaki**
Kourin would be... a stranger?
**[01:05] Misaki**
Aichi!
**[01:08] Aichi**
Misaki!
**[01:11] Aichi**
Are you okay?!
**[01:13] Aichi**
What about Kourin?!
**[01:14] Misaki**
I'm fine.
**[01:16] Misaki**
But Kourin has been asleep
ever since the end of our fight.
**[01:21] Aichi**
Has she?
**[01:23] Misaki**
Wait!
**[01:24] Misaki**
Aichi is...
**[01:26] Takuto**
It's true that Kourin is the one who infected
your Cardfight Club member, Naoki Ishida.
**[01:32] Takuto**
But the source of Aichi Sendou's infection...
**[01:35] Takuto**
Become my...
**[01:37] Kourin**
Become our...
**[01:38] Naoki**
...and my...
**[01:40] The Three**
...teammate!
**[01:42] Misaki**
I don't think he's back to normal yet!
**[01:45] Misaki**
Which means Aichi is...
**[01:47] Aichi**
You're terrible, Kourin.
**[01:50] Aichi**
I went and became your teammate,
just like you told me to...
**[01:54] Aichi**
...yet you've bailed on me?
**[01:56] Misaki**
Hey, what are you talking about?!
**[01:58] Aichi**
So it goes, I guess.
**[02:00] Aichi**
Well then, Misaki...
**[02:02] Aichi**
Become my teammate.
**[02:05] Misaki**
Then you are one...
**[02:10] Takuto**
It is my destiny to bring
all Vanguard fighters under my control!
**[02:16] Aichi**
Our imaginations will surpass that destiny!
**[02:19] Ibuki**
Not so fast!
**[02:21] Ibuki**
I'm going to Delete End all of you.
***SIGN*** Image 46 The Vilest Enemy Aichi
**[04:01] Misaki**
What does that mean?!
**[04:03] Misaki**
What did you mean by, "become my teammate"?!
**[04:05] Aichi**
Oh, come on. The answer must be
clear to someone as bright as you, Misaki.
**[04:10] Aichi**
You and I will fight,
**[04:13] Aichi**
and if I win, you'll become my teammate.
**[04:17] Aichi**
That's all it means.
**[04:19] Misaki**
You're still a PSYqualia zombie,
aren't you, Aichi?
**[04:25] Aichi**
In any case, please fight me...
**[04:29] Aichi**
...Misaki.
**[04:38] Naoki**
Hey!
**[04:39] Naoki**
Ain't she got somethin' to do with
the whole PSYqualia zombie mess?
**[04:43] Shingo**
Yes!
**[04:44] Shingo**
She's the one responsible for
spreading the infection at Fukuhara High.
**[04:49] Naoki**
Then she's gonna try and
make us PSYqualia zombies again?!
**[04:53] Suiko**
Relax.
**[04:55] Suiko**
Currently, I'm just a Called Walker
who does Takuto's bidding.
**[05:01] Suiko**
Your teammates are right through this door.
**[05:04] Suiko**
Go in. Take your time.
**[05:06] Suiko**
Enjoy your club activity.
**[05:10] Shingo**
Misaki!
**[05:11] Naoki**
Boss!
**[05:13] Misaki**
You guys are back to normal, right?!
**[05:17] Shingo**
Don't do it!
**[05:18] Shingo**
You can't fight Sendou!
**[05:20] Aichi**
What are you saying?
**[05:22] Aichi**
We all belong to the Cardfight Club.
**[05:24] Aichi**
Cardfighting is what we do.
**[05:27] Aichi**
Don't interfere, okay?
**[05:29] Naoki**
Why?!
**[05:30] Naoki**
Why ain't you back to normal, Aichi?!
**[05:34] Misaki**
It's because Takuto Tatsunagi wanted
to make Aichi a PSYqualia zombie so much,
**[05:39] Misaki**
that he drew on both your strength
and Kourin's, as well as his own, to do it.
**[05:47] Misaki**
That's why Aichi is so much more
deeply "infected" than all the rest.
**[05:51] Misaki**
Defeating Kourin, the source of his infection,
wasn't enough to bring him back.
**[05:56] Misaki**
The only way to do that
is by beating him directly.
**[05:59] Naoki**
What?!
**[06:00] Misaki**
Naoki, Shingo...
**[06:02] Misaki**
You two stay with Kourin.
**[06:05] Misaki**
She's been unconscious
since the end of our fight.
**[06:08] Naoki**
Gotcha!
**[06:09] Shingo**
Roger that!
**[06:11] Misaki**
Right now...
**[06:13] Misaki**
...it may be difficult for me
to beat Aichi the way he is.
**[06:16] Misaki**
But...
**[06:17] Aichi**
Okay, let's begin.
**[06:22] Shingo**
Misaki!
**[06:23] The Two**
Stand up...
**[06:26] The Two**
...Vanguard!
**[06:28] Aichi**
I ride Glyme!
**[06:31] Misaki**
I ride Lozenge Magus!
**[06:39] Shin**
Is he going to be okay?
**[06:41] Kyou**
Oh, it's no big deal.
**[06:45] Kyou**
You just pass out and then wake up
without any interest in Vanguard.
**[06:50] Kyou**
Like I did.
**[06:52] Miwa**
That's a huge deal!
**[06:54] Kamui**
I can't believe even Kai lost to him!
**[06:57] Kyou**
Don't be so serious.
**[07:00] Kyou**
You can live without Vanguard.
**[07:03] Miwa**
Maybe *you* can,
**[07:06] Miwa**
but Kai's...
**[07:08] Miwa**
Darn it!
**[07:09] Miwa**
I had no idea Ibuki turned out that way!
**[07:12] Miwa**
I never should've brought him here!
**[07:17] Ibuki**
My goal...
**[07:19] Ibuki**
...is to delete all Vanguard fighters.
**[07:23] Ibuki**
That's the only reason I've been fighting.
**[07:27] Ibuki**
And yet...
**[07:29] Ibuki**
Delete End!
**[07:37] Ibuki**
Begone!
**[07:39] Ibuki**
Disappear!
**[07:49] Kai**
Ibuki!
**[07:50] Kai**
That was a fun Vanguard fight...
**[07:54] Ibuki**
Shove your "fun Vanguard fight"!
**[07:57] Ibuki**
There's no way that was fun!
**[08:00] Ibuki**
I'll delete everyone
who spouts nonsense like that!
**[08:05] Ibuki**
Including Ren Suzugamori!
**[08:07] Ibuki**
And Aichi Sendou!
**[08:11] Ibuki**
Still, there's one thing that really bothers me.
**[08:15] Ibuki**
Everything I'm doing...
**[08:18] Takuto**
You and I are kindred spirits
who share the same destiny.
**[08:22] Ibuki**
...is playing right into his hand!
**[08:27] Ibuki**
I should delete him once more!
**[08:42] Aichi**
I ride!
**[08:46] Aichi**
Knight Squire, Allen!
**[08:49] Aichi**
My turn is over.
**[08:52] Aichi**
Please don't look at me like that.
**[08:55] Aichi**
We should be enjoying this fight more...
**[08:58] Aichi**
...Misaki.
**[09:00] Tetsu**
Hey! Hey!
**[09:02] Tetsu**
How much longer until
we reach the Tatsunagi residence?!
**[09:06] Rekka**
Well, let's see...
**[09:09] Rekka**
I've been looking for something like this!
**[09:13] Rekka**
What do you think? Does it suit me?
**[09:15] Ren**
Let me see...
**[09:17] Ren**
I'm no clothes horse, but...
**[09:20] Ren**
...it looks very nice on you.
**[09:22] Tetsu**
Don't indulge her, Ren!
**[09:24] Tetsu**
Are you really planning to take us there?!
**[09:28] Rekka**
We have time for a stop along the way!
**[09:31] Tetsu**
But this could be a race against time!
**[09:34] Rekka**
Oh, this one!
**[09:36] Rekka**
How does this one look?
**[09:37] Rekka**
Well?
**[09:38] Tetsu**
That's enough, Rekka Tatsunagi!
**[09:42] Pedestrian 1**
Rekka?
**[09:43] Pedestrians**
Rekka Tatsunagi?!
**[09:45] Pedestrian 2**
From ULTRARARE?!
**[09:47] Ren**
Tetsu...
**[09:49] Rekka**
Let's run!
**[09:51] Rekka**
Hurry!
**[09:52] Pedestrians**
Rekka!
**[09:53] Ren**
Jeez! You and your big mouth, Tetsu!
**[09:57] Rekka**
Out of the way!
**[09:58] Tetsu**
When will you get us to Tatsunagi?!
**[10:01] Rekka**
Beats me!
**[10:09] Misaki**
It's my turn!
**[10:11] Misaki**
Stand and draw!
**[10:14] Misaki**
I ride!
**[10:18] Misaki**
Circle Magus!
**[10:20] Misaki**
I call Cuore Magus!
**[10:22] Misaki**
Skill activates!
**[10:24] Misaki**
I swear...
**[10:26] Misaki**
...to turn you back to normal...
**[10:28] Misaki**
...by my own hand!
**[10:33] Aichi**
Oh, Misaki...
**[10:35] Aichi**
It would be nice if you could.
**[10:49] Misaki**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[10:54] Aichi**
Misaki, I'm not going to run or hide.
**[10:59] Misaki**
Drive check!
**[11:01] Aichi**
Critical trigger, right?
**[11:06] Aichi**
Don't act so surprised.
**[11:09] Aichi**
Isn't that your usual style?
**[11:13] Misaki**
Drive check...
**[11:15] Misaki**
Critical trigger.
**[11:18] Naoki**
Just like Aichi said!
**[11:19] Shingo**
A critical!
**[11:23] Aichi**
Damage check.
**[11:26] Aichi**
Don't worry.
**[11:28] Aichi**
I'm not going to draw a heal trigger.
**[11:37] Shingo**
He's right again!
**[11:40] Naoki**
It's just luck!
**[11:42] Misaki**
Cuore! One more attack!
**[11:45] Cuore**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[11:48] Aichi**
Flogal!
**[11:49] Aichi**
I'm counting on you!
**[11:55] Aichi**
It's my turn, isn't it, Misaki?
**[12:01] Aichi**
Well, here I go.
**[12:04] Aichi**
Stand up, my avatar!
**[12:10] Aichi**
I ride!
**[12:16] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[12:18] Aichi**
Burst Buster!
**[12:24] Aichi**
Knight of Silence, Gallatin!
**[12:26] Aichi**
Wingal!
**[12:27] Aichi**
Knight of Friendship, Kay!
**[12:29] Aichi**
Furthermore, I superior call...
**[12:33] Aichi**
...Knight of Loyalty, Bedivere!
**[12:39] Misaki**
5 to 1!
**[12:41] Shingo**
And now...
**[12:42] Shingo**
...he has four rear-guards!
**[12:44] Shingo**
With Blaster Blade's skill,
that gives him an extra critical!
**[12:50] Aichi**
Now I'm ready to start attacking.
**[12:57] Kourin**
Where am I?
**[12:58] Aichi**
Follow me...
**[13:00] Aichi**
...Wingal!
**[13:01] Kourin**
That's...
**[13:03] Kourin**
...Aichi!
**[13:04] Kourin**
Why are those two fighting each other?!
**[13:07] Aichi**
Here I come!
**[13:11] Kourin**
Misaki!
**[13:12] Naoki**
Kourin!
**[13:14] Naoki**
You're awake?!
**[13:15] Kourin**
Naoki...
**[13:16] Naoki**
I'm fine. Back to normal.
**[13:21] Kourin**
I was having a nightmare.
**[13:23] Kourin**
I dreamt that Aichi and Misaki were fighting.
**[13:26] Naoki**
Actually...
**[13:27] Shingo**
A critical trigger!
**[13:30] Aichi**
Go ahead, do your damage check...
**[13:34] Aichi**
...Misaki.
**[13:37] Naoki**
Aichi's the only one not back to normal.
**[13:40] Kourin**
What?!
**[13:42] Takuto**
Become my...
**[13:44] Kourin**
Become our...
**[13:45] Naoki**
And my...
**[13:46] The Three**
...teammate!
**[13:49] Kourin**
It's my fault.
**[13:51] Aichi**
Gallatin!
**[13:53] Gallatin**
Here I go!
**[13:54] Misaki**
Come, Rectangle Magus!
**[13:57] Rectangle**
Here!
**[14:01] Aichi**
Bedivere!
**[14:02] Bedivere**
Follow me!
**[14:04] Kay**
Of course!
**[14:05] Misaki**
Oracle Guardian, Nike!
**[14:12] Aichi**
Oh, you blocked it!
**[14:16] Aichi**
Fighting you is so much fun, Misaki.
**[14:19] Aichi**
But knowing you,
I'm sure you've already realized...
**[14:23] Aichi**
...I can see how this fight is going to end!
**[14:28] Kourin**
Don't give up, Misaki!
**[14:30] Misaki**
Kourin!
**[14:31] Kourin**
The fight isn't over yet!
**[14:34] Kourin**
With Vanguard, you can never be sure
what will happen until the very end!
**[14:38] Aichi**
That's true...
**[14:40] Aichi**
...Kourin.
**[14:42] Aichi**
For all we know, something unexpected
just might happen after this.
**[14:50] Aichi**
For your sake, I hope it does.
**[14:53] Aichi**
It's your turn, Misaki.
**[14:58] Misaki**
I ride!
**[15:05] Misaki**
Rectangle Magus!
**[15:07] Misaki**
And then I call Circle Magus
and another Rectangle Magus!
**[15:11] Misaki**
Let's go, Circle Magus!
**[15:21] Aichi**
Attend me, Bringer of Good Luck, Epona!
**[15:25] Aichi**
Bedivere, I'm relying on you, too!
**[15:29] Misaki**
Drive check!
**[15:31] Misaki**
Critical trigger!
**[15:32] Misaki**
I give all of the effects to
my rear-guard Rectangle Magus!
**[15:38] Misaki**
Rectangle Magus, attack!
**[15:51] Naoki**
No guard?!
**[15:53] Shingo**
He should be able to block that!
**[15:54] Misaki**
But why?!
**[15:57] Aichi**
You're good, Misaki.
**[15:59] Aichi**
That was a pretty decent attack.
**[16:01] Aichi**
However...
**[16:03] Aichi**
Unfortunately for you...
**[16:06] Aichi**
...this fight is already over.
**[16:13] Miwa**
Kai!
**[16:14] Shin**
Are you all right?!
**[16:16] Kai**
Yeah...
**[16:18] Miwa**
Don't overdo it.
**[16:20] Kai**
Come with me.
**[16:22] Kai**
I have to go.
**[16:24] Miwa**
Go where?!
**[16:25] Asaka**
If you're looking for Aichi Sendou,
he went to the Tatsunagi residence.
**[16:28] Asaka**
Ren and Ibuki are on their way over there, too.
**[16:32] Kai**
Got it. The Tatsunagi residence, huh?
**[16:35] Miwa**
Hey!
**[16:36] Kamui**
I'll go with you, too!
**[16:37] Kamui**
You're gonna go help Brother Aichi, right?
**[16:40] Kamui**
Then...
**[16:42] Kyou**
Hold on!
**[16:43] Kyou**
He lost!
**[16:44] Kyou**
He was deleted!
**[16:46] Kyou**
So how...?!
**[16:48] Kai**
That was a fun Vanguard fight...
**[16:51] Kyou**
How was he able to say that?
**[16:53] Kamui**
Kyou!
**[16:54] Kyou**
What is it about Vanguard?!
**[16:57] Kyou**
Teach me, once more!
**[17:00] Kamui**
Okay...
**[17:04] Miwa**
There's no stopping him.
**[17:05] Miwa**
Hey!
**[17:06] Miwa**
Wait for me, Kai!
**[17:09] Miwa**
Will you be able to fight once you're there?!
**[17:12] Kai**
To be honest, I don't feel like fighting at all.
**[17:15] Kai**
I may not be able to do anything to help him.
**[17:19] Kai**
But still...
**[17:21] Miwa**
I know.
**[17:23] Miwa**
When it comes to helping a friend,
**[17:26] Miwa**
who cares about logic, right?
**[17:29] Kai**
Miwa...
**[17:31] Miwa**
Let's go. Brace yourself.
**[17:44] Aichi**
Materializing here now
**[17:46] Aichi**
is the great sovereign who rules
the sacred lands of United Sanctuary!
**[17:51] Aichi**
I ride!
**[18:00] Aichi**
Monarch Sanctuary Alfred!
**[18:07] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift!
**[18:09] Aichi**
Force!
**[18:13] Aichi**
Monarch's skill activates!
**[18:15] Aichi**
I call Blaster Blade!
**[18:20] Aichi**
Defeat her!
**[18:22] Blaster**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[18:29] Aichi**
Let's go, Wingal!
**[18:32] Misaki**
No guard!
**[18:36] Aichi**
Drive check!
**[18:37] Aichi**
First check.
**[18:39] Aichi**
Second check.
**[18:41] Shingo**
It's a double critical!
**[18:44] Naoki**
That makes three criticals!
**[18:46] Naoki**
If it hits, Boss is a goner...
**[18:49] Misaki**
Damage check!
**[18:50] Naoki**
Yes! A heal trigger!
**[18:52] Kourin**
It's no use...
**[18:54] Kourin**
Aichi has 4 damage.
**[18:56] Kourin**
Misaki only has 3.
**[18:58] Kourin**
Since Aichi has more damage,
**[19:01] Kourin**
her heal trigger won't work.
**[19:04] Misaki**
D-Don't tell me Aichi didn't guard
when I attacked during the last turn,
**[19:11] Misaki**
because he knew this would happen?!
**[19:17] Aichi**
Welcome, Misaki.
**[19:19] Aichi**
You and I are about to be...
**[19:21] Aichi**
...teammates once again.
**[19:24] Aichi**
Subjugation Field!
**[19:31] Aichi**
Theater Moderate!
**[19:57] Naoki**
Boss!
**[19:57] Shingo**
Misaki!
**[20:00] Shingo**
Sendou never fights like this!
**[20:03] Shingo**
It's too cruel...
**[20:11] Kourin**
Misaki!
**[20:12] Naoki**
Boss!
**[20:18] Aichi**
The stern, yet wise and kind, Misaki...
**[20:22] Aichi**
Thank you for always watching over me
**[20:25] Aichi**
at Card Capital and at the Cardfight Club.
**[20:29] Aichi**
You'll continue to stay by my side, won't you?
**[20:38] Misaki**
Of course.
**[20:40] The Two**
Misaki!
**[20:40] Naoki**
Boss!
**[20:42] Misaki**
From now on...
**[20:44] Misaki**
...I'll always be with you.
**[20:58] Takuto**
That's my Aichi Sendou.
**[21:01] Takuto**
I bet there's a beautiful moon out tonight.
**[21:04] Suiko**
Here you are, Takuto.
**[21:11] Takuto**
You feel it, don't you?
**[21:14] Takuto**
Everyone's destinies...
**[21:17] Takuto**
...are about to converge here.
**[21:23] Takuto**
I'm sure that it will be a wonderful night.
**[21:27] Takuto**
I'm very sure.
**[23:11] Suiko**
Pardon me, Takuto...
**[23:13] Suiko**
Will you be consuming
anything besides black tea today?
**[23:16] Takuto**
It just so happens that
black tea is my lucky item of the day!
**[23:19] Suiko**
Your lucky item?
**[23:21] Takuto**
According to my horoscope, if I only drink
black tea today, everything will go my way.
**[23:25] Takuto**
Drinking nothing but black tea will
ensure that I have no chance of losing!
**[23:31] Suiko**
I can't tell him...
**[23:32] Suiko**
I accidentally served him
roasted green tea earlier today.

He drank the whole cup without realizing it.
**[23:38] Suiko**
I can't tell him!

The stern, yet wise and kind, Misaki...
**[00:11] Aichi**
Thank you for always watching over me
**[00:15] Aichi**
at Card Capital and at the Cardfight Club.
**[00:18] Aichi**
You'll continue to stay by my side, won't you?

Of course.
**[00:29] Misaki**
From now on...
**[00:31] Misaki**

**[00:40] Takuto**
That's my Aichi Sendou.
**[00:43] Takuto**
I bet there's a beautiful moon out tonight.
**[00:48] Takuto**
I'm sure that it will be a wonderful night.
**[00:52] Takuto**
I'm very sure.
**[01:03] Takuto**
It is my destiny to bring
all Vanguard fighters under my control!
**[01:09] Aichi**
Our imaginations will surpass that destiny!
**[01:12] Ibuki**
Not so fast!
**[01:13] Ibuki**
I'm going to Delete End all of you.
***SIGN*** Image 47 The Truth of Destiny Conductor
**[03:03] Takuto**
I ordered you to monitor Ren Suzugamori,
**[03:07] Takuto**
didn't I, Rekka?
**[03:09] Rekka**
I-It's not like I'm not
monitoring him now, Takuto.
**[03:13] Suiko**
You mean, "Master Takuto."
**[03:18] Takuto**
It's fine.
**[03:20] Takuto**
Welcome, Ren Suzugamori.
**[03:23] Ren**
Where's Aichi?
**[03:35] Ren**
I'd like to say that
I'm here to take him back...
**[03:40] Ren**
But I guess he's already
a PSYqualia zombie, huh?
**[03:43] Ren**
Still, if I beat you,
he'll go back to normal, right?
**[03:47] Takuto**
Before that, let's have a talk.
**[03:50] Ren**
A talk?
***SIGN*** "Suiko, get them something to drink."
***SIGN*** "Yes, Master."
**[04:04] Ren**
Well?
**[04:06] Takuto**
Look at that.
**[04:10] Takuto**
A beautiful crescent moon rising...
**[04:14] Takuto**
Only one side of the moon faces us.
**[04:18] Takuto**
The other side faces the planet Cray.
**[04:21] Takuto**
The destinies of these
two planets are connected.
**[04:28] Takuto**
So, do you believe me?
**[04:30] Ren**
In a "huh, really?" sense.
**[04:33] Takuto**
As you possess PSYqualia, you can sense
the Cray units better than the average fighter,
**[04:40] Takuto**
so it's only natural that you would
accept what I have to say right off the bat.
**[04:44] Ren**
Actually, I just don't care.
**[04:46] Ren**
Talk to him about that stuff.
**[04:50] Tetsu**
You're speaking as if
the planet Cray actually existed.
**[04:54] Rekka**
But the planet Cray does exist!
**[04:57] Tetsu**
What?! That's absurd!
**[04:59] Rekka**
See?
**[05:01] Ren**
So...
**[05:04] Ren**
Who are you?
**[05:11] Ren**
There's something different between you
and the Takuto Tatsunagi I've met before.
**[05:15] Ren**
I mean, the Takuto I know is eccentric,
**[05:19] Ren**
but *you're* strange.
**[05:22] Takuto**
PSYqualia does make one sharp.
**[05:25] Takuto**
You see the difference, then?
**[05:29] Takuto**
However...
**[05:31] Takuto**
...you'd be able to see more about me this way.
**[05:36] Ren**
Fine by me.
**[05:43] Aichi**
It looks like Takuto and Ren are going to fight.
**[05:47] Aichi**
I hope Ren becomes our teammate, too.
**[05:50] Misaki**
I'm sure he will.
**[05:52] Aichi**
The more teammates, the merrier.
**[05:55] Kourin**
Aichi, that's Takuto's wish, not yours!
**[05:59] Aichi**
Kourin, aren't you Takuto's teammate?
**[06:04] Aichi**
I'm Takuto's teammate, too.
**[06:07] Aichi**
So from now on, you'll work
for my sake too, won't you?
**[06:11] Naoki**
Aichi, you're cruisin' for a bruisin'!
**[06:14] Aichi**
Naoki?
**[06:16] Aichi**
But aren't you also my teammate, Naoki?
**[06:20] Aichi**
You too, Shingo.
**[06:22] Shingo**
He's scaring me!
**[06:24] Aichi**
But why?
**[06:26] Aichi**
I thought I was your idol...
**[06:28] Naoki**
How do we get Aichi back to normal?!
**[06:31] Kourin**
I don't know.
**[06:33] Kourin**
I don't know anymore...
**[06:36] Misaki**
Aichi, let's go. The fight is about to begin.
**[06:39] Aichi**
Yes.
**[06:40] Aichi**
Let's all go.
**[06:49] Tetsu**
I finally understand how you feel.
**[06:51] Suiko**
How I feel...?
**[06:55] Suiko**
Both you and I are like chess pawns
that have been removed from the board.
**[07:02] Suiko**
Let's just watch and see where the battle goes.
**[07:07] Tetsu**
That's how I feel right now, too.
**[07:13] Ren**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[07:13] Takuto**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[07:17] Ren**
I ride!
**[07:20] Ren**
Fullbau!
**[07:21] Takuto**
I ride!
**[07:24] Takuto**
Starhulk, Lurli!
**[07:27] Ren**
Starhulk?
**[07:28] Tetsu**
N-Not again!
**[07:30] Tetsu**
Why do these units I know
nothing about keep popping up?
**[07:34] Ren**
I ride!
**[07:38] Ren**
Blaster Javelin!
**[07:40] Takuto**
I ride!
**[07:44] Takuto**
Starhulk, Chiral!
**[07:46] Takuto**
Come to me, Starhulk, Gicurs!
**[07:51] Takuto**
Here I come!
**[08:01] Ren**
Death Feather Eagle!
**[08:03] Eagle**
Yes, sir!
**[08:14] Tetsu**
2 damage...
**[08:15] Rekka**
Way to go, Takuto!
**[08:16] Suiko**
"Master Takuto."
**[08:19] Ren**
It's my turn.
**[08:20] Ren**
Stand and draw.
**[08:22] Ren**
I ride!
**[08:32] Ren**
Blaster Dark.
**[08:36] Ren**
Greediness Shadow!
**[08:41] Takuto**
The former Takuto Tatsunagi
and the current me...
**[08:44] Takuto**
You said there was
some difference between us?
**[08:48] Takuto**
The former Takuto was the Concert Master.
**[08:52] Ren**
Concert Master?
**[08:57] Takuto**
The one who tuned the
melody of fate played by Earth
**[09:01] Takuto**
and the planet Cray,
the force of destiny itself.
**[09:04] Ren**
Force of destiny...?
**[09:07] Ren**
Javelin attacks Gicurs!
**[09:09] Takuto**
The rhythms of life born from Earth
and from the planet Cray
**[09:13] Takuto**
reverberate to produce a single timbre.
**[09:17] Takuto**
That is the force of destiny.
**[09:21] Ren**
Blaster Dark attacks your Vanguard!
**[09:24] Takuto**
The results of Vanguard fights on Earth
**[09:27] Takuto**
have an influence on the planet Cray.
**[09:31] Takuto**
No guard.
**[09:34] Ren**
No trigger.
**[09:35] Takuto**
If a clan wins a fight,
their fortunes will rise.
**[09:38] Takuto**
If they lose, misfortune will befall them.
**[09:41] Takuto**
But it's only a slight influence.
**[09:44] Takuto**
However, for those of you
who possess PSYqualia,
**[09:47] Takuto**
your connection with the Cray units
and the force of destiny is too strong.
**[09:53] Ren**
Axe attacks your Vanguard!
**[09:59] Takuto**
Thanks to your PSYqualia fights,
**[10:02] Takuto**
the disturbances occurring on Cray
have become ever more extreme,
**[10:05] Takuto**
which in turn greatly
influences their state of war.
**[10:10] Tetsu**
In other words, the planet Cray exists
and shares a destiny with Earth,
**[10:16] Tetsu**
but the appearance of people
with PSYqualia has upset that balance?
**[10:20] Suiko**
Yes.
**[10:21] Rekka**
That's what he just told you!
**[10:25] Tetsu**
Let me sort this out...
**[10:29] Tetsu**
You said you used to be the Concert Master
who tuned the force of destiny.
**[10:35] Tetsu**
Does that mean the current you,
**[10:38] Tetsu**
who seeks to control all Vanguard fighters
by turning them into PSYqualia zombies,
**[10:42] Tetsu**
is not Takuto Tatsunagi?
**[10:45] Takuto**
Close.
**[10:46] Takuto**
Both my past self and my current self
**[10:49] Takuto**
are still the same Takuto Tatsunagi.
**[10:52] Tetsu**
What does that mean?!
**[10:54] Takuto**
Like the Concert Master before me,
I'm merely possessing Takuto Tatsunagi.
**[11:00] Tetsu**
Possessing him?!
**[11:03] Tetsu**
You mean you've taken over his mind?!
**[11:06] Takuto**
Correct!
**[11:07] Takuto**
Just as you people ride units,
**[11:10] Takuto**
I'm riding Takuto Tatsunagi.
**[11:13] Tetsu**
Wha...?!
**[11:15] Ren**
So that's why I sensed that
the eccentric had become the strange.
**[11:22] Takuto**
I ride!
**[11:28] Takuto**
Starhulk, Letaluk!
**[11:30] Takuto**
Come to me, Flick Hitter and Gicurs!
**[11:34] Takuto**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[11:42] Takuto**
Drive check.
**[11:43] Takuto**
Draw trigger.
**[11:48] Ren**
Damage check.
**[11:49] Ren**
Heal trigger.
**[11:55] Ren**
Thank you, Abyss Healer.
**[11:57] Healer**
Yes, my Vanguard.
**[12:02] Takuto**
You're next, Flick Hitter!
**[12:06] Ren**
Intercept!
**[12:07] Axe**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[12:14] Tetsu**
What is this uneasy feeling
that I can't put my finger on?
**[12:19] Tetsu**
Is it due to the unknown units? The Starhulks?
**[12:24] Tetsu**
There's something fundamentally different
between them and all the other unit types...
**[12:28] Tetsu**
They're even different from the Deletors.
**[12:30] Takuto**
The Deletors, eh?
**[12:35] Takuto**
Those are merely my advance guards.
**[12:38] Tetsu**
Your advance guards?!
**[12:39] Tetsu**
But Ibuki said he wasn't your underling!
**[12:43] Takuto**
Of course not. Ibuki himself doesn't
realize that he's an advance guard.
**[12:50] Takuto**
But Ibuki, as well as he...
**[12:55] Takuto**
...will serve to accomplish my ideals.
**[12:59] Ren**
Any ideals that exploit
Aichi and other Vanguard fighters...
**[13:02] Ren**
...just make me sick!
**[13:04] Ren**
I'll paint over your ideals
with pitch-black darkness!
**[13:10] Ren**
Born from the dark abyss,
**[13:14] Ren**
a maelstrom of power gone amok takes form...
**[13:17] Ren**
Ride The Vanguard!
**[13:19] Ren**
Phantom Blaster Dragon!
**[13:21] Ren**
Imaginary Gift, Force!
**[13:29] Ren**
Attend me, Black Sage, Charon
and Dark Bond Trumpeter!
**[13:40] Ren**
You as well, Skull Witch, Nemain.
**[13:44] Ren**
Damned Charging Lance!
**[13:56] Rekka**
How dreadful!
**[13:58] Tetsu**
This is how Ren Suzugamori fights.
**[14:10] Ren**
Here I come!
**[14:11] Takuto**
Perfect guard!
Flowers in Vacuum, Cosmo Wreath!
**[14:19] Ren**
Twin drive.
**[14:20] Ren**
First check.
**[14:22] Ren**
Critical trigger.
**[14:23] Ren**
Second check.
**[14:24] Ren**
Critical trigger.
**[14:27] Ren**
I give all of the effects
to Dark Bond Trumpeter.
**[14:31] Naoki**
A double critical!
**[14:33] Shingo**
That's Ren for you!
**[14:34] Takuto**
Well, well...
**[14:36] Ren**
Go, Dark Bond!
**[14:38] Trumpeter**
Yes, sir!
**[14:43] Tetsu**
Dark Bond has three criticals!
**[14:50] Tetsu**
Now the damage is 2 to 5!
**[14:52] Tetsu**
You can do this, Ren!
**[14:53] Takuto**
It appears that you, a PSYqualia wielder,
truly are loved by your Cray units.
**[15:00] Takuto**
However, it's their love for you
**[15:03] Takuto**
that will make your
fight against me short-lived.
**[15:26] Takuto**
Stand and draw.
**[15:29] Takuto**
I'll introduce you to my avatar.
**[15:47] Takuto**
I ride!
**[15:52] Takuto**
Wandering Starhulk Ruler, Brandt!
**[15:55] Ren**
Wandering Starhulk Ruler, Brandt...
**[15:58] Naoki**
What kinda unit's that?
**[16:00] Shingo**
I've neither seen nor heard of it.
**[16:02] Naoki**
Really?!
**[16:04] Takuto**
Imaginary Gift, Force!
**[16:08] Takuto**
Come to me, Flick Hitter!
**[16:10] Takuto**
Lady Healer of the Torn World!
**[16:13] Takuto**
Decaydal Automata!
**[16:22] Takuto**
Here we go!
**[16:26] Takuto**
Twin drive!
**[16:28] Takuto**
First check.
**[16:29] Takuto**
Critical trigger.
**[16:30] Takuto**
I give the power to Flick Hitter,
**[16:32] Takuto**
and the extra critical to Brandt.
**[16:35] Takuto**
Second check.
**[16:36] Takuto**
Critical trigger.
**[16:38] Tetsu**
What?!
**[16:39] Rekka**
A double critical!
**[16:41] Takuto**
I give the power to Decaydal,
**[16:43] Takuto**
and the extra critical to Brandt.
**[16:45] Takuto**
Clap Burst!
**[16:52] Ren**
Damage check.
**[16:53] Ren**
No trigger.
**[16:56] Ren**
No trigger.
**[17:02] Ren**
A heal trigger!
**[17:03] Rekka**
Not bad.
**[17:13] Ren**
You've saved me, Abyss Healer.
**[17:19] Healer**
*Adieu*, my Vanguard!
**[17:28] Miwa**
What's wrong?!
**[17:29] Kai**
Let's hurry!
**[17:30] Miwa**
We're going as fast as we can!
**[17:31] Miwa**
Don't you realize the condition you're in?!
**[17:36] Kai**
Before it's too late!
**[17:38] Miwa**
O-Okay!
**[17:47] Naoki**
What just happened?!
**[17:49] Tetsu**
Ren drew a heal trigger!
**[17:52] Tetsu**
So why did he take damage?!
**[17:54] Takuto**
When Wandering Starhulk Ruler, Brandt appears,
**[17:58] Takuto**
your triggers are reversed!
**[18:00] Tetsu**
Reversed?!
**[18:03] Tetsu**
You mean...
**[18:05] Takuto**
Heal triggers deal damage.
**[18:09] Naoki&Shingo**
S-Say what?!
**[18:10] Kourin**
Th-Then for people with PSYqualia,
that's the worst compatibility!
**[18:16] Aichi**
That's right.
**[18:18] Aichi**
It's like a PSYqualia-killer.
**[18:20] Misaki**
You have a way with words, Aichi.
**[18:22] Aichi**
Aww, Misaki complimented me!
**[18:25] Shingo**
Then, in this fight...
**[18:28] Naoki**
Ren got beat...
**[18:32] Takuto**
Ren Suzugamori, I hate to tell you this,
**[18:35] Takuto**
but I don't exist on the same plane
as you and all other fighters.
**[18:40] Ren**
Then why don't you tell me...
**[18:43] Ren**
...just who you are, now?
**[18:47] Takuto**
The former Takuto, the Concert Master,
was no more than a spectator.
**[18:55] Takuto**
But I'm different.
**[18:57] Takuto**
I'm the one who commands destiny.
**[19:00] Takuto**
Destiny Conductor!
**[19:03] Takuto**
Wandering Star, Brandt's emissary!
**[19:25] Ezel (&Takuto)**
A crisis is approaching.
**[19:28] Ren**
You're Wandering Star, Brandt's emissary?
**[19:36] Tetsu**
Ren!
**[19:42] Takuto**
By controlling Vanguard fighters
who possess PSYqualia,
**[19:47] Takuto**
I can boost the force of destiny
sent to the planet Cray from Earth.
**[19:51] Takuto**
After which...
**[19:54] Takuto**
...Wandering Star, Brandt will rule Cray!
**[20:00] Kourin**
Takuto!
**[20:02] Takuto**
Ah, Kourin. You've done well.
**[20:05] Takuto**
Thanks to you and him...
**[20:08] Takuto**
...I was able to take control of Aichi Sendou.
**[20:13] Takuto**
Now I have no more use for you Called Walkers.
**[20:19] Rekka**
After all we've done for you...
**[20:22] Naoki**
I remember...
**[20:23] Naoki**
I remember it!
**[20:25] Takuto**
Become my...
**[20:27] Kourin**
Become our...
**[20:28] Naoki**
...and my...
**[20:30] The Three**
...teammate!
**[20:38] Naoki**
Takuto Tatsunagi...
**[20:39] Naoki**
How dare you get into people's heads
**[20:43] Naoki**
and mess around with 'em!
**[20:45] Naoki**
I'll fight you!
**[20:47] Shingo**
I-Ishida!
**[20:51] Naoki**
A-And if I win...
**[20:53] Takuto**
But your opponent is not I.
**[20:56] Takuto**
Correct?
**[20:58] Aichi**
Yes.
**[20:59] Naoki**
Aichi!
**[21:00] Aichi**
Naoki, care to join me?
**[21:04] Takuto**
That's right!
**[21:05] Takuto**
You Vanguard fighters are
destined to grovel before Aichi Sendou.
**[21:16] Takuto**
Actually...
**[21:30] Takuto**
You're also destined to be deleted by him.
**[21:34] Takuto**
Welcome home, Kouji Ibuki.
**[23:10] Aichi**
I'm glad to have you as my teammate, Ren.
**[23:13] Ren**
Thanks, Aichi! I never realized becoming a
PSYqualia zombie would feel so invigorating.
**[23:17] Ren**
It makes me want to break into song!
**[23:19] Ren**
PSY, PSY, PSY, PSY, PSYqualia!
**[23:21] Aichi**
Zombies!
**[23:22] Ren**
Lose and we infect you, PSYqualia!
**[23:24] Aichi**
Zombies!
**[23:24] Ren**
With emblems on our foreheads, PSYqualia!
**[23:27] Aichi**
Zombies!
**[23:27] Ren**
We draw triggers with vivid imagery!
**[23:30] Ren**
Our strength is unrivaled, PSYqualia!
**[23:32] Aichi**
Zombies!
**[23:32] Ren**
You're a zombie!
**[23:33] Aichi**
I'm a zombie!
**[23:33] Ren**
Now we don't need VF Gloves anymore!

That's right!
**[00:01] Takuto**
You Vanguard fighters are destined

**[00:09] Takuto**
Actually...
**[00:13] Takuto**
You're also destined to be deleted by him.
**[00:16] Takuto**
Welcome home, Kouji Ibuki.
***SIGN*** Image 48 Kai's Memory
**[01:59] Tetsu**
Kouji Ibuki?!
**[02:03] Takuto**
It seems you've been a bad boy.
**[02:06] Takuto**
Deleting all those Vanguard fighters...
Are you satisfied yet?
**[02:21] Aichi**
Here I go, Kai!
**[02:26] Aichi**
What is it?
Do you need something from me?
**[02:31] Ibuki**
Aichi Sendou, I deleted Vanguard...
**[02:36] Ibuki**
...from Toshiki Kai.
**[02:42] Tetsu**
I had heard that Ibuki beat Kai,
**[02:45] Tetsu**
but when faced with the reality of it,
all we can do is despair!
**[02:51] Takuto**
That is excellent news.
**[02:54] Takuto**
Behold!
**[02:56] Takuto**
Those possessing the
strongest PSYqualia, Aichi Sendou
**[02:59] Takuto**
and Ren Suzugamori,
have fallen under my control!
**[03:03] Takuto**
My sole cause for concern
**[03:05] Takuto**
was the person whose ability
surpassed even these two.
**[03:09] Takuto**
I'm of course referring to Toshiki Kai.
**[03:13] Takuto**
And he's also been eradicated!
**[03:17] Takuto**
The forces of destiny upon both Cray and Earth
**[03:21] Takuto**
are already within our grasp!
**[03:23] Takuto**
All that remains is for my wandering planet,
Brandt, to conquer those lands!
**[03:29] Ibuki**
Huh. Is that right?
**[03:31] Takuto**
What's wrong?
**[03:33] Takuto**
You don't seem very happy.
**[03:36] Takuto**
With all of the nuisances out of the way,
**[03:38] Takuto**
you'll be able to completely
eradicate Vanguard from Earth.
**[03:46] Aichi**
Van...guard...
**[03:52] Aichi**
Kai...
**[03:59] Aichi**
It's because Kai taught me
how to play Vanguard
**[04:03] Aichi**
that my world began to shine.
**[04:07] Aichi**
But you've erased Kai's bond with Vanguard?
**[04:12] Aichi**
Ibuki...
**[04:14] Aichi**
I swear...
**[04:15] Aichi**
I will make you pay for that!
**[04:20] Shingo**
Sendou!
**[04:22] Naoki**
I've never seen Aichi
get ticked off like this...
**[04:25] Ibuki**
Sendou...
**[04:27] Ibuki**
Just how do you intend
to make me pay for that?
**[04:31] Aichi**
Fight...
**[04:33] Aichi**
Fight me...
**[04:38] Takuto**
Stifle it, Aichi Sendou.
**[04:41] Misaki**
Stop it, Aichi.
**[04:42] Misaki**
Don't you realize what you're doing?
**[04:46] Takuto**
None are allowed to disobey my orders.
**[04:51] Aichi**
I don't care!
**[04:54] Takuto**
What?!
**[04:57] Aichi**
Ibuki... I...
**[05:01] Aichi**
I will defeat you!
**[05:04] Takuto**
You...
**[05:07] Ibuki**
Fine.
**[05:09] Ibuki**
Let's fight, then.
**[05:14] Naoki**
Darn it! I've got no idea
who we're supposed to root for!
**[05:17] Shingo**
He's beyond us even in
the best of circumstances,
**[05:20] Shingo**
but if Sendou wins now, we'll have
an enemy who's even harder to deal with.
**[05:24] Kourin**
On the other hand, if Aichi loses,
**[05:26] Kourin**
his bond with Vanguard will be severed.
**[05:29] Naoki**
I hate seein' Aichi with
his mind twisted like this,
**[05:33] Naoki**
but I don't wanna see an Aichi
who's lost his passion for Vanguard, either!
**[05:38] Kourin**
Aichi...
**[05:41] Aichi**
Let's begin, Ibuki.
**[05:44] Ibuki**
Anytime.
**[05:46] Aichi**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[05:46] Ibuki**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[05:52] Ibuki**
I ride Sprout Deletor, Luchi.
**[05:56] Aichi**
I ride Glyme!
**[06:00] Shingo**
It's begun!
**[06:03] Takuto**
This fight...
**[06:05] Takuto**
It'll be the same, no matter who wins.
**[06:08] Takuto**
They'll serve to add a touch
of color to my music score.
**[06:20] Kyou**
Are you worried?
**[06:21] Kyou**
About Ren, I mean.
**[06:23] Asaka**
Of course I am!
**[06:25] Asaka**
But...
**[06:28] Asaka**
Ren, please be careful!
**[06:34] Ren**
I'll be back, Asaka.
**[06:36] Ren**
Until I return to you,
**[06:38] Ren**
wait for me like a good girl.
**[06:41] Asaka**
Oh, Ren!
**[06:45] Asaka**
Since he put it that way,
**[06:47] Asaka**
all I can do is wait!
**[06:48] Kamui**
Did he say that?
**[06:50] Asaka**
Oh my, Ren!
**[06:50] Kyou**
Don't rewrite your memories!
**[06:53] Asaka**
Shut up!
**[06:55] Asaka**
That's just how it sounded to me!
**[07:00] Asaka**
I-I'm so sorry!
**[07:04] Kamui**
You okay, Manager?!
**[07:06] Kyou**
Pathetic.
**[07:08] Kyou**
Tetsu wouldn't even bat an eye at that.
**[07:12] Shin**
I'm so ashamed...
**[07:13] Kamui**
Hey! No making fun of the manager!
**[07:16] Kyou**
Huh? I was just telling the truth!
**[07:19] Kamui**
Say what?!
**[07:20] Kyou**
Wanna start something? Come at me!
**[07:21] Shin**
For now, I'll just have faith...
**[07:23] Kamui**
I was hoping ya'd say that!
**[07:24] Asaka**
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
**[07:24] Shin**
...and wait for them to return, safe and sound.
**[07:26] Asaka**
I'm so sorry!
**[07:28] Ibuki**
I ride...
**[07:30] Ibuki**
Ferment Deletor, Gaen.
**[07:34] Aichi**
I ride!
**[07:36] Aichi**
Knight Squire, Allen!
**[07:39] Aichi**
Come out, Pongal!
**[07:46] Ibuki**
No guard.
**[07:52] Aichi**
Go, Pongal!
**[07:55] Ibuki**
No guard.
**[08:06] Naoki**
What's with him?!
**[08:07] Kourin**
It's like he's enjoying
the fact that Aichi is so angry.
**[08:11] Ibuki**
It's my turn.
**[08:15] Ibuki**
I ride...
**[08:17] Ibuki**
Swift Deletor, Geali.
**[08:21] Ibuki**
On top of that,
**[08:23] Ibuki**
I call Breaking Deletor, Gatario
**[08:25] Ibuki**
and Hailing Deletor, Alba!
**[08:28] Ibuki**
Let's go, Gatario!
**[08:32] Aichi**
No guard!
**[08:35] Ibuki**
Drive check!
**[08:37] Shingo**
A critical trigger!
**[08:38] Ibuki**
I give the power to Alba,
**[08:40] Ibuki**
and the extra critical to my Vanguard!
**[08:47] Aichi**
Damage check...
**[08:50] Aichi**
No trigger!
**[08:53] Ibuki**
Geali's skill activates.
**[08:57] Ibuki**
Vanish Delete!
**[09:04] Aichi**
Pongal!
**[09:05] Ibuki**
Is this any time to be looking away?!
**[09:10] Aichi**
Please, Flogal!
**[09:19] Aichi**
For my precious friend
to be treated this way...
**[09:24] Ibuki**
That's right.
**[09:25] Ibuki**
Units that have been deleted
aren't even sent to the Drop Zone,
**[09:30] Ibuki**
they're removed from the world.
**[09:32] Ibuki**
Unable to even die,
they wander an infinite hell.
**[09:37] Aichi**
For doing something so cruel...
**[09:40] Aichi**
I'll absolutely make you pay!
**[09:44] Aichi**
It's my turn!
**[09:46] Aichi**
Stand up, here and now!
**[09:48] Aichi**
My avatar!
**[09:50] Aichi**
I ride!
**[09:59] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[10:07] Tetsu**
Ren!
**[10:11] Naoki**
H-Hey! Boss!
**[10:13] Shingo**
What's the matter?!
**[10:15] Kourin**
What is this?!
**[10:18] Takuto**
It's resonance.
**[10:20] Kourin**
Resonance?
**[10:22] Takuto**
A torrent of Aichi Sendou's intense PSYqualia
**[10:26] Takuto**
has flooded the consciousnesses
of those who also possess PSYqualia.
**[10:30] Naoki**
What's he sayin'?! I'm clueless here!
**[10:33] Kourin**
Misaki, just what are you being shown?!
**[10:46] Misaki**
Where am I?
**[10:48] Misaki**
What is this place?
**[10:50] Ren**
My guess is that PSYqualia is showing us
the world of Aichi and Ibuki's imagination.
**[10:56] Misaki**
Ren...
**[10:57] Takuto**
In addition...
**[10:59] Takuto**
...it's a world that shares
the same destiny as Cray and Earth.
**[11:03] Takuto**
Very soon, this world will be enveloped
in silence by my planet, Brandt.
**[11:11] Aichi**
Burst Buster!
**[11:17] Aichi**
I also call Gallatin and Pongal!
**[11:20] Aichi**
I Soul Charge using Pongal's skill!
**[11:23] Aichi**
Go!
**[11:25] Ibuki**
So naive!
**[11:31] Aichi**
I'm not done yet!
**[11:32] Aichi**
My Vanguard attacks!
**[11:35] Ibuki**
I guard with Pulse Monk!
**[11:39] Aichi**
Darn it!
**[11:40] Naoki**
Aichi!
**[11:41] Shingo**
Don't let yourself get too worked up!
**[11:46] Misaki**
Aichi is always kind and considerate
of other people's feelings,
**[11:50] Misaki**
so for him to show such anger...
**[11:53] Ren**
It's not like him.
**[12:03] Ibuki**
Blaster Blade...
**[12:06] Young Kai**
You can keep this one.
**[12:10] Young Kai**
Come on! Just imagine it!
**[12:12] Young Kai**
Imagine yourself being as strong as him.
**[12:15] Young Aichi**
I c-can't!
**[12:18] Young Kai**
Guess it's hard to do off the bat.
**[12:20] Young Kai**
But once you can picture that,
**[12:22] Young Kai**
I bet you'll be able to change.
**[12:25] Young Kai**
Imagination will become your strength.
**[12:32] Ibuki**
I knew it! That card you have
is the exact same card Kai had!
**[12:38] Ibuki**
That infuriating card!
**[12:40] Ibuki**
I'll wipe it out right now!
**[12:43] Ibuki**
I ride!
**[12:51] Aichi**
What?!
**[12:53] Ibuki**
Docking Deletor, Greion!
**[13:10] Ibuki**
Imaginary Gift, Force!
**[13:15] Ibuki**
And then I call Alba.
**[13:18] Ibuki**
Greion's skill activates!
**[13:20] Ibuki**
Docking Release!
**[13:28] Ibuki**
And now you're just a weak astral body.
**[13:37] Ibuki**
Blaster Blade...
**[13:39] Ibuki**
For showing me that tedious unit,
**[13:42] Ibuki**
I'm going to make it disappear,
along with your memories!
**[13:51] Ibuki**
What?!
**[13:52] Naoki**
A perfect guard!
**[13:54] Ibuki**
I'm not done!
**[13:55] Ibuki**
Twin drive!
**[13:57] Ibuki**
First check!
**[13:59] Ibuki**
Second check!
**[14:00] Ibuki**
Critical trigger!
**[14:02] Ibuki**
I give all of the effects to Alba!
**[14:07] Ibuki**
Go, Alba!
**[14:17] Aichi**
So this is your power, Ibuki...
**[14:21] Ibuki**
Did you only just figure that out?
**[14:23] Ibuki**
But you're too late.
**[14:25] Ibuki**
I'm about to wipe away all traces
of the bond between you and Vanguard!
**[14:30] Aichi**
No.
**[14:32] Aichi**
What I just figured out
**[14:34] Aichi**
was the deep hatred you have for Vanguard.
**[14:37] Ibuki**
What?!
**[14:39] Aichi**
I'm going to put that hatred in check,
**[14:43] Aichi**
to protect my bond with Vanguard!
**[14:46] Aichi**
Materializing here now
**[14:48] Aichi**
is the great sovereign who rules
the sacred lands of United Sanctuary!
**[14:54] Aichi**
I ride!
**[14:57] Aichi**
Monarch Sanctuary Alfred!
**[15:02] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[15:08] Aichi**
Monarch's skill activates!
**[15:11] Aichi**
Now Monarch's power is 38,000!
**[15:16] Aichi**
Next, I call Blaster Blade!
**[15:19] Aichi**
With this, Blaster Blade gets +10,000 power!
**[15:25] Ibuki**
I erased you...
**[15:27] Ibuki**
I erased you already...
**[15:29] Ibuki**
So why do you keep appearing before me?!
**[15:33] Ibuki**
Answer me, Blaster Blade!
**[15:41] Aichi**
Kai?!
**[15:47] Aichi**

**[15:49] Aichi**
It isn't mine!
**[15:52] Aichi**
Did it spill over from Ibuki's mind?!
**[15:57] Miwa**
What's wrong, Kai?
**[15:59] Kai**
Nothing...
**[16:01] Kai**
It just felt like...
**[16:03] Kai**
...somebody was calling me.
**[16:09] Ibuki**
You were supposed to be erased...
**[16:14] Ibuki**
When will you finally stop haunting me?!
**[16:18] Ibuki**
When?!
**[16:22] Aichi**
Now is the time to show him our power!
**[16:26] Gallatin**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[16:29] Ibuki**
Oh no, you don't!
**[16:37] Aichi**
Subjugation Field!
**[16:39] Aichi**
Theater Moderate!
**[16:44] Naoki**
Yes!
**[16:45] Shingo**
No, not yet!
**[16:47] Ibuki**
Cosmo Wreath!
**[16:52] Misaki**
A perfect guard...
**[16:54] Ren**
Figures he'd be a tough nut to crack.
**[16:57] Aichi**
Twin drive!
**[16:59] Aichi**
First check.
**[17:01] Aichi**
Second check!
**[17:02] Shingo**
It's a critical trigger!
**[17:05] Aichi**
I give all of the effects to Blaster Blade!
**[17:11] Aichi**
I'm counting on you, Blaster Blade!
**[17:15] Ibuki**
No guard!
**[17:17] Ibuki**
Damage check!
**[17:28] Kourin**
That makes 4 damage.
**[17:30] Naoki**
The same as Aichi!
**[17:38] Ibuki**
How?
**[17:40] Ibuki**
I know I wiped you out!
**[17:43] Ibuki**
Why do you keep showing me these memories?!
**[17:53] Young Ibuki**
I thought we'd be together forever...
**[17:57] Young Ibuki**
...but once again...
**[17:59] Young Ibuki**
...I was left...
**[18:02] Young Ibuki**
...all alone.
**[18:06] Young Ibuki**
Everybody betrays me.
**[18:09] Young Ibuki**
It was pointless to have hope.
**[18:12] Greion**
That's right. Don't let them fool you.
**[18:15] Young Ibuki**
Who's there?!
**[18:18] Greion**
I'm right here.
**[18:20] Greion**
They'll always desert you in the end.
**[18:25] Greion**
That's why you should...
**[18:27] Greion**
...extinguish all the light.
**[18:29] Greion**
If you do that,
**[18:30] Greion**
you will never have to
suffer this despair again.
**[18:49] Ibuki**
That day, I parted ways with Vanguard.
**[18:53] Ibuki**
But if you, surrounded by the light,
intend to lead me astray,
**[18:59] Ibuki**
then I'll extinguish it completely!
**[19:03] Ibuki**
I ride!
**[19:14] Ibuki**
Waving Deletor, Greidhol!
**[19:18] Ibuki**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[19:23] Ibuki**
Greidhol's skill activates!
**[19:28] Ibuki**
Vanish Delete!
**[19:32] Aichi**
Gallatin!
**[19:34] Ibuki**
Why don't you worry about yourself,
instead of a rear-guard?!
**[19:40] Ibuki**
Docking Release!
**[19:49] Aichi**
Monar--
**[19:50] Ibuki**
Delete!
**[19:56] Aichi**
It...
**[19:58] Aichi**
It can't be...
**[20:00] Naoki**
Oh shoot!
**[20:01] Shingo**
Sendou's been stripped of everything yet again!
**[20:05] Kourin**
Aichi!
**[20:07] Ibuki**
I call you! Go, Gatario!
**[20:10] Ibuki**
Swordsmen of Light,
**[20:13] Ibuki**
vanish from my presence!
**[20:16] Aichi**
Please, Yggdrasil Maiden, Elaine!
**[20:20] Shingo**
Gatario has 22,000!
**[20:21] Naoki**
No good! He ain't got enough!
**[20:27] Aichi**
Blaster...
**[20:29] Aichi**
...Blade...
**[20:37] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[20:53] Ibuki**
Even as just an afterimage,
**[20:55] Ibuki**
you still betray me,
**[20:58] Ibuki**
Kai!
**[20:59] Ibuki**
Greidhol and Gatario attack!
**[21:02] Ibuki**
This will Delete End everything!
**[21:06] Tetsu**
Oh no!
**[21:07] Tetsu**
Aichi Sendou has no more
means of protecting himself!
**[21:11] Misaki**
Aichi...
**[21:21] Kai**
Aichi...
**[21:31] Ibuki**
Now you're no longer a Vanguard fighter!
**[23:10] Kamui**
Hey, you and Asaka are both
on Team AL4, right?
**[23:15] Kyou**
Yeah, we are.
**[23:16] Kamui**
So what do you and that sexy girl talk about?
**[23:20] Kyou**
Talk?! She hasn't even said my name once!
**[23:23] Asaka**
Liar! I always say your name, boy!
**[23:25] Asaka**
Am I saying it too informally for you?
**[23:29] Asaka**
What would you prefer?
**[23:30] Asaka**
Mr. Boy?
**[23:31] Asaka**
Monsieur Boy?
**[23:32] Kyou**
My name isn't "Boy"! It's Kyou Yahagi!

It...

Swordsmen of Light,

vanish from my presence!
**[00:48] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[00:54] Misaki**
Aichi...
**[01:07] Ibuki**
Your bond with Vanguard...
**[01:10] Ibuki**
...has disappeared.
**[01:19] Takuto**
Aichi Sendou is no longer a
PSYqualia zombie or a Vanguard fighter.
**[01:26] Takuto**
He isn't my pawn, either.
**[01:34] Takuto**
No matter. I have a substitute.
**[01:45] Blond Ezel**
Not yet.
**[01:47] Blond Ezel**
It's not over yet.
**[01:52] Takuto**
It is my destiny to bring
all Vanguard fighters under my control!
**[01:58] Aichi**
Our imaginations will surpass that destiny!
**[02:01] Ibuki**
Not so fast!
**[02:03] Ibuki**
I'm going to Delete End all of you.

**[03:43] Kourin**
Misaki...
**[03:45] Kourin**
You're awake!
**[03:49] Misaki**
Kourin...
**[03:50] Kourin**
Are you back to normal?
**[03:52] Misaki**
Y-Yes, I think so.
**[03:55] Naoki**
That's great, Boss!
**[03:59] Misaki**
It's because Aichi isn't
a PSYqualia zombie anymore.
**[04:10] Tetsu**
You're awake, Ren?
**[04:12] Ren**
Yeah...
**[04:15] Tetsu**
Ren...
**[04:20] Suiko**
Takuto...
**[04:22] Takuto**
Good grief.
**[04:25] Takuto**
I never thought I would lose
my strongest fighter like this.
**[04:31] Takuto**
But this way,
**[04:33] Takuto**
the force of destiny connecting
Earth and Cray will weaken,
**[04:37] Takuto**
and as a result, the planet
Brandt's control will strengthen.
**[04:44] Ren**
Aichi...
**[04:46] Ibuki**
Hey.
**[04:47] Ibuki**
Hey!
**[04:49] Ibuki**
What's distracting you, Aichi Sendou?
**[04:52] Aichi**
Ibuki...
**[04:54] Aichi**
What am I doing here?
**[04:57] Aichi**
Is this...
**[04:59] Aichi**
Vanguard...?
**[05:01] Ibuki**
That's right.
**[05:02] Ibuki**
You and I are in the middle of a fight.
**[05:05] Ibuki**
But it's about to end.
**[05:08] Ibuki**
You just took 3 damage.
**[05:13] Ibuki**
Turn over three cards from your deck.
**[05:15] Ibuki**
Then you'll be forever released
from the torment of Vanguard.
**[05:21] Aichi**
Three cards from my deck...
**[05:24] Aichi**
Released... from Vanguard...
**[05:27] Naoki**
It ain't over yet! Draw a heal trigger,
and the fight'll keep going!
**[05:32] Misaki**
But Aichi can't...
**[05:35] Misaki**
...use PSYqualia anymore.
**[05:39] Takuto**
This Aichi Sendou won't draw anything good.
**[05:45] Shingo**
A miss.
**[05:47] Naoki**
Aichi...
**[05:51] Kourin**
I can't look... I can't!
**[05:54] Takuto**
Watch, Kourin.
**[05:57] Takuto**
Watch the whole thing. Etch it into your soul.
**[06:01] Takuto**
Even if the memory may be wiped away...
**[06:13] Kourin**
Takuto...
**[06:39] Monarch**
Gold Paladin's...
**[06:41] Monarch**
...Blond Ezel.
**[06:44] Blond Ezel**
Royal Paladin's Monarch Sanctuary Alfred.
**[06:50] Blond Ezel**
Now is the time for us to join hands.
**[07:02] Takuto**
It will link together the planets' destinies.
**[07:05] Monarch**
Very well.
**[07:07] Monarch**
Sage of Guidance, Zenon!
**[07:24] Zenon**
I am here.
**[07:25] Monarch**
Living witness to history, sage of time...
**[07:28] Monarch**
Use your wisdom to guide the guardian light.
**[07:33] Zenon**
I accept this mission.
**[07:48] Zenon**
Two dragons, protectors of
kings since time immemorial...
**[07:53] Zenon**
Soul Saver Dragon.
**[07:56] Zenon**
Thing Saver Dragon.
**[08:03] Zenon**
The time has come for you to awaken
the transcendent bodies you have been granted!
**[08:17] Monarch**
For the planet Cray!
**[08:19] All**
For the planet Cray!
**[08:30] Zenon**
Attend us, guardian dragon deity!
**[08:37] Blond Ezel**
Reach him!
**[08:39] Blond Ezel**
With our prayers!
**[08:52] Kourin**
Aichi...
**[08:55] Aichi**
Two more, right?
**[08:57] Ibuki**
Yeah, but it'll probably
be over with the next one.
**[09:01] Ibuki**
Now that you're no longer a Vanguard fighter,
**[09:04] Ibuki**
you would've lost PSYqualia as well.
**[09:07] Ibuki**
There will be no miracle here.
**[09:10] Aichi**
Second check...
**[09:12] Aichi**
That's what I say?
**[09:15] Ibuki**
Yeah.
**[09:34] Shingo**
Sendou!
**[09:35] Naoki**
You did it!
**[09:37] Aichi**
I got... a heal trigger!
**[09:39] Ibuki**
Don't tell me you...
**[09:43] Ibuki**
You got your PSYqualia back?!
**[09:49] Ibuki**
But how?!
**[09:50] Ibuki**
Your bond with Vanguard should've
been severed completely!
**[09:54] Ibuki**
By my Delete End!
**[09:58] Takuto**
Preposterous...
**[10:00] Takuto**
During the brief span of time between when
**[10:03] Takuto**
Aichi Sendou slipped free of my control
and the fight was to be settled,
**[10:07] Takuto**
there was meddling from the planet Cray side?!
**[10:12] Ren**
Yep.
**[10:15] Ren**
I'm a PSYqualia zombie now,
so maybe that's why...
**[10:21] Ren**
...I could sense it.
**[10:23] Ren**
Aichi's bond with his units...
**[10:25] Ren**
Or like, the flow of
Earth's bond with planet Cray...
**[10:29] Ren**
I guess...
**[10:31] Aichi**
Yes.
**[10:32] Aichi**
It's true that my bond had been severed.
**[10:36] Aichi**
But I can sense them.
**[10:38] Aichi**
The deck, the units...
**[10:41] Aichi**
They're all giving me their support!
**[10:45] Ibuki**
The *units* are aiding you?!
**[10:47] Aichi**
Third check!
**[10:49] Aichi**
Heal trigger!
**[10:51] Aichi**
The cards are becoming my strength once again!
**[10:55] Misaki**
That's our Aichi!
**[10:56] Naoki**
Aichi's back!
**[10:59] Shingo**
I knew he could do it!
**[11:04] Kourin**
Aichi!
**[11:06] Takuto**
Blast you, Concert Master!
You impudent wretch!
**[11:12] Tetsu**
Sendou...
**[11:16] Aichi**
Stand and draw!
**[11:19] Aichi**
Materializing here now
is a being of transcendence!
**[11:24] Aichi**
I summon you!
**[11:25] Aichi**
Holy guardian dragon deity!
**[11:28] Ibuki**
Wh-Why you...
**[11:32] Aichi**
I ride!
**[11:42] Aichi**
Arc Saver Dragon!
**[11:48] Blond Ezel**
So you've come to us, guardian dragon!
**[12:04] Blond Ezel**
The planet Brandt is like a dark sun
growing larger day by day.
**[12:09] Blond Ezel**
Its military forces are coming from there.
**[12:14] Monarch**
The battle is about to begin.
**[12:18] Monarch**
I welcome it.
**[12:20] Monarch**
Let's show them how strong we are!
**[12:25] Blond Ezel**
Yes, vanguard who will lead our planet of Cray.
**[12:31] Blond Ezel**
May we have blessings
and divine protection in battle.
**[12:38] Aichi**
Skill activates!
**[12:40] Aichi**
Superior call!
**[12:42] Shingo**
Arc Saver Dragon has the ability
to call one Blaster from each zone!
**[12:48] Naoki**
Whoa! That's awesome!
**[12:50] Aichi**
From my deck...
**[12:51] Aichi**
Blaster Javelin!
**[12:56] Aichi**
From my Damage Zone...
**[12:58] Aichi**
Blaster Arrow!
**[13:02] Aichi**
And from the Drop Zone...
**[13:04] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[13:11] Blaster**
It feels like ages since you last called me,
**[13:16] Blaster**
my Vanguard!
**[13:20] Ibuki**
Blaster Blade...!
**[13:23] Aichi**
Even though you'd severed our bond,
**[13:26] Aichi**
we're still able to stand together like this.
**[13:30] Aichi**
Your Deletors...
**[13:32] Aichi**
...won't make any of that disappear!
**[13:38] Aichi**
Even when something's been erased
and you think you've lost it forever,
**[13:44] Aichi**
you can still reconnect with it!
**[13:49] Aichi**
Bonds that were cut can be
patched together again, Ibuki!
**[13:53] Ibuki**
Shut your mouth!
**[13:55] Ibuki**
Shut it... Shut it... Shut it!
**[13:58] Ibuki**
Just shut up!
**[14:01] Aichi**
Ibuki...
**[14:02] Ibuki**
Not one of my broken bonds...
**[14:05] Ibuki**
...were ever repaired!
**[14:08] Ibuki**
Our broken bonds...
**[14:13] Ibuki**
...stayed broken.
**[14:16] Ibuki**
And then...
**[14:19] Ibuki**
...even after I formed a new bond...
**[14:24] Senpai A**
All right! I won!
**[14:27] Senpai A**
I'm taking this card.
**[14:29] Boy A**
Please, any card but that!
**[14:31] Ibuki**
They're playing again...
**[14:40] Ibuki**
Excuse me!
**[14:43] Ibuki**
I'll play you.
**[14:45] Senpai A**
Yeah?
**[14:51] Ibuki**
I won, huh?
**[14:59] Ibuki**
Hey!
**[15:06] Ibuki**
That's when I made up my mind.
**[15:12] Ibuki**
I would delete all bonds, by using Vanguard!
**[15:17] Aichi**
Using Vanguard?
**[15:21] Aichi**
That shows just how much you trust Vanguard.
**[15:27] Ibuki**
That's not...
**[15:28] Aichi**
Ibuki, you really do love Vanguard.
**[15:36] Miwa**
Seriously?
**[15:38] Miwa**
If that's the case, then...
**[15:40] Miwa**
...you haven't changed a bit!
**[15:43] Ushimaru**
You have more guests.
**[15:45] Miwa**
Heya, Ibuki.
**[15:47] Ibuki**
Miwa... Kai...
**[15:49] Aichi**
Kai!
**[15:50] Ibuki**
I deleted you.
**[15:52] Ibuki**
Why come here, when you can't even fight?!
**[15:55] Ibuki**
Are you that worried about him?!
**[15:58] Miwa**
Sure, that's part of it.
**[16:00] Kai**
But it seems...
**[16:02] Kai**
...there was no need for concern.
**[16:05] Miwa**
Still...
**[16:07] Miwa**
...that's only half the answer, Ibuki.
**[16:09] Ibuki**
Half?
**[16:11] Ibuki**
So what's the other half?
**[16:15] Kai**
Ibuki, we're...
**[16:19] Miwa**
We're friends, aren't we?
**[16:28] Aichi**
Arc Saver Dragon, together with everyone else!
**[16:31] Aichi**
Let's go!
**[16:38] Ibuki**
Pulse Monk!
**[16:41] Aichi**
Here I come!
**[16:43] Aichi**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[16:51] Blaster**
This strike will be...
**[16:54] Blaster**
...your end!
**[16:56] Ibuki**
Not Blaster Blade, again?!
**[17:03] Aichi**
Your bonds...
**[17:06] Aichi**
...can still be reforged!
**[17:31] Ibuki**
No trigger...
**[17:35] Shingo**
H-He did it...
**[17:37] Misaki**
Aichi!
**[17:38] Naoki**
Aichi won!
**[17:40] Naoki**
Aichi, you won!
**[17:41] Shingo**
He won!
**[17:42] Kourin**
I etched it all into my soul,
**[17:46] Kourin**
Takuto...
**[17:47] Aichi**
I'm back, everyone...
**[17:55] Ibuki**
Seriously, what are you doing?
**[17:58] Aichi**
Thank you, Ibuki.
**[18:03] Miwa**
Don't those two feel similar somehow?
**[18:05] Naoki**
How?!
**[18:07] Miwa**
Aichi reminds me of how Ibuki used to be.
**[18:11] Ibuki**
What? Knock it off!
**[18:14] Ibuki**
Oh... so that's why...
**[18:17] Ibuki**
That's why I find the guy so nauseating...
**[18:21] Naoki**
What's nauseating about Aichi?!
**[18:24] Ibuki**
Do I really have to explain it?
**[18:27] Ibuki**
You're probably secretly
disgusted with him yourself.
**[18:30] Naoki**
Why, you...
**[18:33] Ibuki**
Just so you know,
I have a black belt in karate.
**[18:36] Ibuki**
I'll easily dodge your amateur punch.
**[18:40] Naoki**
Fine, then... dodge this!
**[18:48] Aichi**
Naoki!
**[18:49] Shingo**
M-Mad Dog Ishida is off his chain!
**[18:53] Naoki**
I mean, he said he'd easily dodge it, so...
**[19:02] Miwa**
You let him hit you, huh?
**[19:06] Ibuki**
I'm not expecting this
to serve as an atonement.
**[19:12] Ibuki**
It's just...
**[19:13] Kai**
Sheesh.
**[19:17] Takuto**
This is getting out of hand.
**[19:19] Takuto**
The Concert Master should be gone...
**[19:22] Takuto**
But he used Kourin to open
a channel with the planet Cray,
**[19:26] Takuto**
which allowed Aichi Sendou
to become a Vanguard fighter again.
**[19:31] Takuto**
Unless I defeat him here and now,
**[19:34] Takuto**
the ascendancy of
the planet Brandt will likely falter.
**[19:37] Suiko**
Takuto...
**[19:39] Takuto**
Aichi Sendou!
**[19:42] Takuto**
This time...
**[19:44] Takuto**
...you'll fight against me.
**[19:48] Miwa**
Kai!
**[19:48] Aichi**
Kai!
**[19:50] Kai**
Are you the one behind all this?!
**[19:53] Kai**
I'm going to--
**[19:53] Ren**
Kai!
**[19:55] Ren**
Why so keyed up?
**[19:57] Ren**
You can't fight him with
your bond with your deck cut.
**[20:01] Ren**
Back off.
**[20:03] Naoki**
Then I'll go!
**[20:05] Shingo**
I-Ishida?!
**[20:07] Naoki**
I was scared before with
Aichi turned into a PSYqualia zombie,
**[20:12] Naoki**
but I ain't scared of you punks.
**[20:14] Naoki**
I'll cream you!
**[20:16] Shingo**
A-All right...
**[20:18] Shingo**
Count me in, too!
**[20:20] Misaki**
I'll fight, too!
**[20:22] Miwa**
I can't leave all the work to the younger set.
**[20:25] Miwa**
I could use a serious fight for a change.
**[20:29] Kourin**
I want to protect the world that Aichi...
that the entire Cardfight Club has created!
**[20:36] Kourin**
I'll fight as well!
**[20:38] Ibuki**
These people...
**[20:40] Ibuki**
...would do this for Aichi Sendou?
**[20:44] Takuto**
Such riff-raff.
**[20:46] Takuto**
But can they break through our wall?
**[20:50] Ren**
Sorry, but I'm tapped out.
**[20:54] Ren**
No more fighting for me tonight.
**[20:58] Takuto**
Disobeying my orders?
**[21:00] Takuto**
First Aichi, now you...
**[21:02] Takuto**
I suppose that's the downside
of underlings who are too powerful.
**[21:09] Ibuki**
Watching these fighters being all buddy-buddy,
**[21:14] Ibuki**
I have the oddest thought.
**[21:16] Ibuki**
Perhaps it's not so bad
for Vanguard to exist in this world.
**[21:25] Aichi**
Thanks, you guys.
**[21:28] Aichi**
However...
**[21:30] Aichi**
Takuto...
**[21:31] Aichi**
No, Destiny Conductor...
**[21:35] Aichi**
*I'll* be fighting you!
**[23:11] Kai**
Aichi, leave this to me!
**[23:13] Aichi**
Kai!
**[23:14] Ren**
Why so keyed up?
**[23:16] Ren**
It's hopeless to fight with
your bond with your deck cut. Back off.
**[23:19] Kai**
I was scared before, but I ain't now!
**[23:21] Aichi**
That's Naoki's line!
**[23:23] Ren**
I can't leave all the work to the younger set.
I'll give them a serious fight!
**[23:26] Aichi**
That's Miwa's line!
**[23:27] Kai**
Me! I'll do it!
**[23:29] Ren**
No, me! Leave it to me!
**[23:30] Kai**
Me! Me! Me!
**[23:31] Ren**
Me! Me! Me!
**[23:33] Aichi**
St-Stop it, both of you!
**[23:34] Aichi**
*I'll* be doing the preview comments!

**[00:01] Aichi**
Takuto...
**[00:03] Aichi**
No, Destiny Conductor...
**[00:06] Aichi**
*I'll* be fighting you!
**[00:10] Takuto**
It is my destiny to bring
all Vanguard fighters under my control!
**[00:16] Aichi**
Our imaginations will surpass that destiny!
**[00:19] Ibuki**
Not so fast!
**[00:21] Ibuki**
I'm going to Delete End all of you.
***SIGN*** Image 50 The Day When Vanguard Disappears
**[01:59] Takuto**
Aichi Sendou...
**[02:02] Takuto**
Do you understand
the importance of this fight?
**[02:06] Takuto**
Our fight is not simply a card game.
**[02:22] Takuto**
It's a proxy war between
my planet Brandt and the planet Cray.
**[02:53] Takuto**
If you beat me, I will lose
the fate of being Destiny Conductor,
**[03:00] Takuto**
and this body will revert
to being merely Takuto Tatsunagi.
**[03:03] Takuto**
And as for those young women,
**[03:06] Takuto**
they will be released
from their fates as Called Walkers.
**[03:11] Takuto**
If she's released from being a Called Walker,
**[03:13] Takuto**
she'll lose everything.
**[03:17] Takuto**
Her memories will be reset,
**[03:19] Takuto**
so she'll be a perfect stranger
who has no idea who you are.
**[03:27] Takuto**
If I win...
**[03:30] Takuto**
...Cray will be ruled by my planet, Brandt.
**[03:35] Naoki**
But even if Cray gets taken over,
that's got nothin' to do with us, right?
**[03:39] Shingo**
N-Now that you mention it...
**[03:42] Takuto**
Of course you people will be unharmed by that.
**[03:45] Takuto**
It simply means that the force of destiny
connecting Cray and Earth will be extinguished.
**[03:51] Kai**
The force of destiny, extinguished?
**[03:53] Miwa**
Th-Then what effect will that have?!
**[03:56] Takuto**
All memories of Vanguard
will disappear from the Earth.
**[04:01] Tetsu**
You mean...
**[04:03] Takuto**
Yes.
**[04:04] Takuto**
Everyone will forget about Vanguard,
**[04:06] Takuto**
and the cards will be reduced
to mere scraps of paper.
**[04:10] Takuto**
Vanguard will disappear from Earth.
**[04:26] Aichi**
Vanguard... will disappear?
**[04:30] Young Kai**
You can keep this one.
**[04:32] Aichi**
If I hadn't encountered Vanguard that day,
**[04:37] Aichi**
I'd still be in the dark now.
**[04:41] Aichi**
Vanguard brought me light.
**[04:44] Aichi**
It gave me so many chances to meet people.
**[04:47] Aichi**
But that's not all.
**[04:48] Aichi**
It's given me so much that's irreplaceable.
**[04:52] Kai**
Aichi...
**[04:54] Kai**
That applies not just to you,
but to the rest of us here, too.
**[04:59] Ren**
And maybe even to all Vanguard fighters,
whether they're here or not.
**[05:10] Kyou**
I ride!
**[05:12] Kyou**
Dueling Dragon, ZANBAKU!
**[05:15] Kyou**
Like that, right?
**[05:21] Kamui**
Yeah, just like that!
**[05:27] Kamui**
You finally did it!
**[05:29] Kyou**
Don't act that thrilled.
I only made it to grade 3.
**[05:34] Kamui**
Y-Yeah, good point.
**[05:41] Kyou**
Thank you.
**[05:44] Ren**
Vanguard's given all of us...
**[05:47] Ren**
...something that's irreplaceable.
**[05:50] Ren**
Right?
**[05:51] Ibuki**
Don't look at me!
**[05:56] Aichi**
So now it's my turn to protect Vanguard!
**[06:02] Aichi**
I won't let you erase it!
**[06:06] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[06:19] Takuto**
Well, shall we begin, Aichi Sendou?
**[06:38] Aichi**
Where am I?
**[07:20] Aichi**
Blaster... Blade...
**[07:26] Blaster**
My Vanguard...
**[07:33] Aichi**
Is this a dream?
**[07:55] Aichi**
Or is it...
**[08:14] Blaster**
My wishes, my prayers, they reached you.
**[08:22] Blaster**
Right now, we share a common destiny!
**[08:26] All**
Yeah!
**[08:31] Blond Ezel**
I will also rejoin my comrades.
**[08:34] Blaster**
Follow me!
**[08:49] Blaster**
My Vanguard, may fortune smile on you.
***SIGN*** The War Begins
**[09:10] Aichi**
Could that be...?
**[09:16] Takuto**
Yes. It's Earth.
**[09:19] Takuto**
Behind me stands the planet Cray.
**[09:22] Takuto**
As well as...
**[09:24] Takuto**
You can see it clearly.
**[09:26] Takuto**
That's my planet, Brandt.
**[09:30] Takuto**
This place connects Cray to Earth.
**[09:35] Takuto**
The force of destiny linking
both worlds flows through here.
**[09:43] Takuto**
The moon!
**[09:45] Aichi**
The moon...
**[09:47] Takuto**
It's a fitting venue for our battle.
**[09:51] Takuto**
I ride Starhulk, Lurli!
**[09:54] Aichi**
I ride Glyme!
**[10:01] Takuto**
I ride!
**[10:04] Takuto**
Starhulk, Chiral!
**[10:07] Aichi**
I ride Knight Squire, Allen!
**[10:11] Aichi**
Attend me, Pongal!
**[10:16] Aichi**
Let's go!
**[10:16] Pongal**
Yes, sir!
**[10:24] Pongal**
My Vanguard!
**[10:28] Aichi**
Thank you, Pongal!
**[10:30] Pongal**
No problem.
**[10:36] Takuto**
I ride!
**[10:40] Takuto**
Starhulk, Letaluk!
**[10:42] Takuto**
Come to me, Starhulk, Gicurs!
**[11:01] Takuto**
I am a Starhulk.
**[11:03] Takuto**
I black out the light of life into a dark husk.
**[11:22] Aichi**
You can't erase the light of life!
**[11:26] Aichi**
Not while you face
the sword of light, Blaster Blade!
**[11:35] Aichi**
Follow me!
**[11:46] Naoki**
Yeah! That's the way, Aichi!
**[11:48] Shingo**
What he said!
**[11:50] Miwa**
3 to 2!
**[11:51] Miwa**
He's on a roll.
**[11:53] Kai**
Yeah.
**[11:54] Ibuki**
Blaster Blade...
**[11:56] Ibuki**
That unit was a lot of trouble
back then, and it still is.
**[12:00] Rekka**
Back then?
**[12:03] Miwa**
This guy used it when he was just a kid.
**[12:06] Kai**
But I didn't use it nearly that well.
**[12:10] Kai**
It's Aichi's sword of light.
**[12:14] Ibuki**
And also...
**[12:17] Ibuki**
...right now, it's the unit
tying him and Vanguard together.
**[12:22] Ibuki**
Aichi Sendou, will you be the messiah
who protects Cray and Vanguard on Earth?
**[12:30] Takuto**
Stand and draw.
**[12:36] Tetsu**
What's wrong, Ren?!
**[12:39] Ren**
That thing's about to arrive, again.
**[12:43] Kai**
What thing?!
**[13:04] Takuto**
Know this.
**[13:11] Takuto**
I am the envoy of the planet Brandt.
**[13:15] Takuto**
We do not abide by your principles.
**[13:19] Takuto**
To cover your worlds with our own principles,
the ruler of the planet Brandt has come...
**[13:26] Takuto**
I ride!
**[13:29] Takuto**
I am... Wandering Starhulk Ruler, Brandt!
**[13:35] Kai**
Wandering Starhulk Ruler, Brandt...
**[13:38] Tetsu**
Not even Ren could beat Brandt.
**[13:40] Takuto**
I call Starhulk, Letaluk.
**[13:46] Takuto**
Brandt's skill activates.
**[13:49] Ren**
Because of that,
until the end of his next turn,
**[13:53] Ren**
Aichi's triggers are--
**[13:58] Takuto**
Your triggers...
**[14:00] Takuto**
...are now reversed.
**[14:01] Miwa**
Reversed triggers?!
**[14:14] The Two**
My Vanguard!
**[14:20] Aichi**
Thanks, you two!
**[14:21] Gallatin**
No problem.
**[14:23] Epona**
Good luck!
**[14:37] Miwa**
Nothing happened.
**[14:39] Kai**
No, if anything is
to happen, it'll be next turn!
**[14:56] Javelin**
He vanished!
**[15:05] Arrow**
Blaster Blade, what is this attack?!
**[15:09] Blaster**
Team, spread out and evade!
**[15:12] Blaster**
We can't afford to get hit by those!
**[15:23] Blaster**
Follow me! We'll force an opening!
**[15:26] Arrow**
At your will!
**[15:34] Rapier**
Blaster Blade got one of Brandt's units!
**[15:36] Dagger**
Let's keep at them!
**[15:47] Aichi**
Materializing here now...
**[15:50] Aichi**
...is the great sovereign who rules
the sacred lands of United Sanctuary!
**[15:54] Aichi**
I ride!
**[16:08] Aichi**
Monarch Sanctuary Alfred!
**[16:13] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[16:17] Aichi**
Assemble, my sworn friends.
**[16:23] Aichi**
Subjugation Field!
**[16:34] Aichi**
Theater Moderate!
**[16:39] Aichi**
Twin drive!
**[16:41] Aichi**
First check!
**[16:44] Aichi**
Second check!
**[16:45] Aichi**
Critical trigger!
**[16:46] Miwa**
That's great!
**[16:47] Ren**
No, it's not!
**[16:55] Miwa**
Why didn't the attack get through?!
**[16:57] Ren**
Critical triggers give you a minus critical.
**[17:01] Miwa**
So then...
**[17:03] Misaki**
The opponent's damage becomes 0.
**[17:06] Miwa**
Seriously?!
**[17:08] Takuto**
This field of battle is already
under the dominion of my principles.
**[17:16] Aichi**
Pongal!
**[17:17] Pongal**
Aye aye, sir!
**[17:26] Naoki**
All right! 4 damage!
**[17:28] Takuto**
That was nothing.
**[17:30] Takuto**
Your turn is over?
**[17:31] Aichi**
Yes.
**[17:33] Shingo**
Make it through this round,
and you can finish him off next turn!
**[17:36] Takuto**
But will it go as smoothly for you?
**[17:38] Naoki**
You got somethin' else up your sleeve?!
**[17:54] Javelin**
There's no end to them!
**[17:56] Takuto**
"Survival of the fittest."
**[17:59] Takuto**
You have that expression on Earth, correct?
**[18:03] Takuto**
The weak are fated to become
the prey of the strong, it seems to mean.
**[18:11] Takuto**
I ride.
**[18:37] Takuto**
It has arrived...
**[18:39] Takuto**
Wandering Starhulk Deity, Brandt Ringer!
**[18:45] Aichi**
Brandt Ringer...
**[18:52] Tetsu**
A grade 4?!
**[18:54] Takuto**
Letaluk attacks.
**[18:58] Pongal**
My... Vanguard!
**[19:04] Takuto**
Brandt Ringer attacks.
**[19:10] Takuto**
"Survival of the fittest," indeed.
**[19:13] Takuto**
Wandering Starhulk Deity, Brandt Ringer
will devour every last one of you!
**[19:19] Takuto**
Stentorian Clap Burst!
**[19:26] Aichi**
Damage check!
**[19:28] Miwa**
Yeah! A heal trigger!
**[19:31] Ren**
No...
**[19:32] Kai**
Brandt has a trigger reversing skill,
so Brandt Ringer must also have it!
**[19:38] Takuto**
Very perceptive.
**[19:46] Elaine**
*Adieu*, my Vanguard!
**[19:59] Naoki**
5 damage...
**[20:01] Shingo**
His back's against the wall!
**[20:03] Misaki**
Aichi!
**[20:06] Takuto**
Letaluk attacks, boosted by Gicurs.
**[20:16] Blaster**
May fortune smile on you!
**[20:18] Takuto**
How long can you survive
by taking actions like that?
**[20:23] Takuto**
Well, no matter.
**[20:46] Takuto**
Eventually, my "strong" Brandt
**[20:50] Takuto**
will consume the "weak" planet Cray.
**[20:55] Takuto**
Aichi Sendou...
**[20:57] Takuto**
Likewise, I, the strong,
**[20:59] Takuto**
will vanquish you, the weak.
**[21:02] Takuto**
That's right. Today is the day
when Vanguard disappears!
**[23:10] Aichi**
As Aichi battles on the moon,
one by one, his teammates rush in to help.
**[23:14] Aichi**
But Wandering Starhulk Deity, Brandt Ringer
and its trigger reverse skill seem unstoppable.
**[23:20] Aichi**
If Aichi loses this fight,
the planet Cray will perish,
**[23:23] Aichi**
and Vanguard will disappear from Earth!
**[23:25] Aichi**
It's the final draw!
**[23:27] Aichi**
What prayer will be sent from the planet Cray?
**[23:30] Aichi**
Next time: "Messiah."
Stand up, Vanguard!
***SIGN*** Image 51

Soon I, the strong,

**[00:08] Takuto**
That's right. Today is the day

***SIGN*** Image 51 Messiah
**[02:22] Aichi**
"Survival of the fittest."
**[02:24] Aichi**
That expression may have first been used
to describe how carnivores eat herbivores.
**[02:31] Aichi**
But not even herbivores
will let themselves get eaten
**[02:35] Aichi**
without any resistance!
**[02:40] Takuto**
So they pathetically
run about, trying to escape?
**[02:43] Takuto**
Just like you're doing now...
**[02:47] Aichi**
Retreating is also part of battle!
**[02:49] Aichi**
It's not pathetic!
**[02:53] Aichi**
Like I told you before,
**[02:55] Aichi**
Vanguard has given me
so much that's irreplaceable.
**[03:00] Aichi**
And that's why...
**[03:02] Aichi**
...I now have the strength to fight you!
**[03:07] Aichi**
Come, transcendent dragon deity!
**[03:13] Aichi**
I ride Arc Saver Dragon!
**[03:19] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[03:33] Javelin**
Arc Saver Dragon!
**[03:35] Arrow**
It did come!
**[03:47] Aichi**
Arc Saver Dragon's skill activates!
**[03:49] Aichi**
I call Blaster Javelin from the Damage Zone!
**[03:55] Naoki/Javelin**
Yeah! Leave it to me, my Vanguard!
**[03:59] Aichi**
Naoki!
**[04:02] Naoki/Javelin**
Let's charge 'em together!
**[04:05] Takuto**
Is it because he was once a PSYqualia zombie?
**[04:09] Takuto&Ringer**
I never suspected
he could intrude on this image...
**[04:12] Shingo**
Now his damage has been reduced to 4.
**[04:15] Shingo**
That's our Sendou!
**[04:19] Shingo**
Ishida?
**[04:23] Misaki**
Kourin?
**[04:25] Misaki**
You're...
**[04:28] Aichi**
I call Blaster Arrow from the Drop Zone!
**[04:32] Kourin/Arrow**
No problem, my Vanguard!
**[04:38] Takuto**
Kourin...
**[04:40] Takuto**
Your fate was to be Takuto Tatsunagi's pawn.
**[04:43] Takuto**
Now you're on *his* side?
**[04:50] Kourin**
While I may be a Called Walker,
**[04:53] Kourin**
I'm also a member of
Miyaji Academy's Cardfight Club.
**[04:58] Kourin**
One of Aichi's teammates!
**[05:01] Takuto**
So she's accepted the fate of vanishing.
**[05:07] Aichi**
Furthermore, from the Soul...
**[05:10] Aichi**
...I call Blaster Blade!
**[05:14] Aichi**
Let's go, everyone!
**[05:19] Aichi**
Twin drive!
**[05:21] Aichi**
First check!
**[05:22] Suiko**
Draw trigger!
**[05:23] Miwa**
With Brandt Ringer's skill,
the triggers are reversed...
**[05:29] Tetsu**
He has to discard one unit from his hand!
**[05:34] Aichi**
Second check!
**[05:37] Rekka**
Oh no! A critical!
**[05:39] Miwa**
The plus and minus make 0,
so it won't damage his opponent!
**[05:44] Ringer**
No effect.
**[05:47] Naoki/Javelin**
Then how 'bout this!?
**[05:50] The Two**
Shoot!
**[05:57] Ringer**
Nice try.
**[06:05] Kai**
Right now, Blaster Blade has an
Imaginary Gift and the power of two triggers.
**[06:11] Ren**
That's a total of 40,000 power!
**[06:14] Ringer**
What?!
**[06:18] Ringer**
You worm!
**[06:29] Takuto**
Kouji Ibuki!
**[06:31] Miwa**
Ibuki?!
**[06:33] Kai**
You've joined Aichi, too?!
**[06:38] Takuto**
It's my turn!
**[06:44] Ringer**
Stentorian Clap Burst!
**[06:49] Aichi**
Iseult!
**[06:56] Takuto**
Then I'll deal with you, instead.
**[07:06] Takuto**
Being a mere spectator suits you much better.
**[07:11] Misaki**
Kourin, if Aichi wins,
you'll lose your memories.
**[07:20] Takuto**
My turn is over.
**[07:24] Takuto**
It's your turn.
**[07:27] Takuto**
However...
**[07:40] Blaster**
Arc Saver!
**[07:46] Takuto**
Any time now...
**[07:48] Takuto**
...the planet Cray will meet its doom.
**[07:52] Takuto**
I wonder how long you'll be able to hold out,
with the force of destiny now in decline.
**[08:07] Blaster**
Is this... the end?
**[08:09] Hexagonal**
Fortune Passage!
**[08:15] Blaster**
That's...
**[08:17] Blaster**
Why have you come to our aid?!
**[08:21] Hexagonal**
It's not only us!
**[09:01] Daiyusha**
Special move! Justice Sword!
**[09:21] Messenger**
It's the signal to counterattack!
**[09:23] Blaster**
We'll keep going, too!
**[09:29] Aichi**
I can tell.
**[09:31] Aichi**
Blaster Blade and the rest are all fighting.
**[09:43] Takuto**
There's been a misunderstanding...
**[09:50] Blaster**
What is that?!
**[10:06] Dark**
The planet Brandt...
**[10:08] Ezel**
...is coming closer!
**[10:16] Javelin**
Is it going to collide with us?!
**[10:18] Arrow**
If it does...
**[10:19] Dagger**
Planet Cray will be pulverized!
**[10:21] Rapier**
What should we do?!
**[10:28] Takuto**
My planet, Brandt, is the "fittest"!
**[10:32] Takuto**
All the weak can do
is follow the law of the jungle.
**[11:04] Blaster**
My Vanguard...
**[11:05] Blaster**
May you receive...
**[11:07] Blaster**
...our prayer!
**[11:25] Aichi**
I'm going to protect Vanguard,
the game that I love!
**[11:51] Aichi**
The one manifesting here now
**[11:55] Aichi**
is neither a king nor a deity,
**[11:56] Aichi**
but simply a knight who battles alone.
**[11:59] Aichi**
Even so, he will save the world!
**[12:23] Aichi**
I ride!
**[12:24] Aichi**
Messianic Lord Blaster!
**[12:31] Takuto**
It's the messiah?!
**[12:34] Takuto**
The savior of both planets Cray and Earth,
as prophesied since time immemorial!
**[12:45] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[12:47] Aichi**
I call Blaster Dagger!
**[12:51] Naoki/Javelin**
You're late, Shingo!
**[12:52] Shingo/Dagger**
No problem at all!
**[12:59] Takuto**
I guard!
**[13:00] Miwa**
A 30,000 shield?!
**[13:02] Tetsu**
I doubt he can get through that.
**[13:04] Ren**
Are you sure?
**[13:06] Kai**
He still has a twin drive!
**[13:08] Aichi**
Twin drive!
**[13:09] Aichi**
First check!
**[13:12] Takuto**
No trigger.
**[13:13] Aichi**
However...
**[13:14] Aichi**
I call!
**[13:16] Aichi**
Blaster Arrow!
**[13:17] Takuto**
What?!
**[13:19] Aichi**
When Messianic attacks,
**[13:21] Aichi**
if a Blaster appears in the drive check,
**[13:23] Aichi**
then I can call it!
**[13:26] Aichi**
Second check!
**[13:28] Takuto**
Another Blaster?!
**[13:30] Aichi**
I call!
**[13:32] Aichi**
Blaster Rapier!
**[13:34] Misaki/Rapier**
No problem!
**[13:47] Aichi**
That makes six Blaster units!
**[13:52] Aichi**
Messianic gains the power
and criticals of all the rear-guards!
**[14:00] Rekka**
That makes...
**[14:02] Suiko**
A total power of 77,000.
**[14:04] Suiko**
And 6 criticals!
**[14:06] Takuto**
I-It can't be...
**[14:08] Takuto**
I was finally ready to announce
the end of my planet Brandt's long journey...
**[14:16] Aichi**
Now I see.
**[14:17] Aichi**
You were all alone, too?
**[14:22] Aichi**
Just like you, I was alone for a very time.
**[14:26] Aichi**
But that's not the case now.
**[14:29] Takuto**
Wh-What are you trying to say?!
**[14:33] Aichi**
We're in a world that has Vanguard.
**[14:37] Aichi**
A world in which anyone can
connect to others through Vanguard!
**[14:40] Aichi**
You're not alone anymore!
**[14:49] Aichi&Messianic**
Sextet Photon Blade!
**[15:32] Ezel**
The planet Brandt...
**[15:44] Ezel**
It's moving away!
**[16:15] Monarch**
Harmonics Messiah.
**[16:21] Monarch**
It's said that, since the time
of legends, it has watched over
**[16:25] Monarch**
the harmony of the force of destiny
performed by planets Cray and Earth.
**[17:02] Suiko**
Takuto...
**[17:05] Suiko**
You've finally been freed.
**[17:09] Naoki**
Aichi won!
**[17:11] Shingo**
He certainly did.
**[17:13] Suiko**
And so did we.
**[17:31] Brandt**
Our planet Brandt's
fate of aimless wandering...
**[17:38] Brandt**
...has now ended here.
**[17:57] Ibuki**
Aichi Sendou...
**[17:59] Ibuki**
It's not only Earth and the planet Cray...
**[18:02] Ibuki**
You even changed
the fate of the planet Brandt.
**[18:05] Ibuki**
You're some neo-messiah.
**[18:07] Ren**
What's a "neo-messiah"?
**[18:10] Kai**
A cheesy savior.
**[18:18] Aichi**
Ibuki!
**[18:26] Naoki**
Say what?!
**[18:28] Kourin**
When I'm released from the fate
of being a Called Walker,
**[18:32] Kourin**
I'll be left with nothing.
**[18:34] Kourin**
The time I spent with you all,
**[18:36] Kourin**
the Cardfight Club...
**[18:38] Kourin**
I'll forget all of it.
**[18:42] Shingo**
Why didn't you tell us
something that important sooner?
**[18:45] Kourin**
Because I didn't want Aichi to hesitate.
**[18:49] Aichi**
What have I done?
**[18:52] Aichi**
I'm so sorry--
**[18:52] Kourin**
Don't apologize, Aichi.
**[18:56] Kourin**
You freed me from the fate
that has bound me for a very long time.
**[19:02] Kourin**
I'm just going back to my rightful fate,
one in which I never met all of you.
**[19:06] Kourin**
Thank you for returning me to that, Aichi.
**[19:12] Aichi**
Kourin...
**[19:13] Naoki**
The heck with memories!
**[19:17] Naoki**
Even if you forget me,
I ain't gonna forget you!
**[19:19] Shingo**
Me neither!
**[19:21] Suiko**
It's no use.
**[19:23] Suiko**
When we're released from
the fate of being Called Walkers,
**[19:27] Suiko**
it will be as though the life
we've been living had never existed.
**[19:32] Suiko**
The force of destiny linking planets
Earth and Cray will correct what came before.
**[19:37] Shingo**
Correct?
**[19:38] Naoki**
What happens when it's corrected?
**[19:41] Rekka**
The days Kou spent with you
will have never happened.
**[19:47] Misaki**
I swear I won't forget you!
**[19:50] Kourin**
Misaki...
**[19:52] Misaki**
You know, right?
**[19:53] Misaki**
About my ability.
**[19:55] Kourin**
Eidetic memory.
**[19:57] Misaki**
So...
**[19:58] Kourin**
I don't know if your ability will be able to
resist the corrections of the force of destiny,
**[20:07] Kourin**
but here.
**[20:14] Kourin**
Take it.
**[20:17] Misaki**
Kourin...
**[20:29] Kai**
We'll be able to keep playing
Vanguard tomorrow and beyond,
**[20:33] Kai**
thanks to him.
**[20:34] Kyou**
What do you mean?
**[20:36] Ren**
Boy, are you playing Vanguard again?
**[20:39] Kyou**
Y-Yes.
**[20:41] Kyou**
He's been forcing me to.
**[20:43] Asaka**
Is that right?
**[20:45] Kamui**
What, are you tattling on me?!
**[20:48] Ren**
Ready to head back, Asaka?
**[20:49] Asaka**
Yes, Ren.
**[20:52] Shin**
This long day is finally over.
**[21:00] Kourin**
Since Aichi protected Vanguard,
**[21:03] Kourin**
the Cardfight Club
we formed together will remain.
***SIGN*** Cardfight Club
**[21:07] Kourin**
But without me, you won't have
the minimum number of members...
**[21:11] Kourin**
Will it be disbanded?
**[21:12] Naoki**
Don't underestimate us!
**[21:14] Naoki**
We ain't gonna let the Cardfight Club
you made with us be forced to disband!
**[21:18] Shingo**
That's right.
**[21:20] Naoki**
I just thought of somethin'.
**[21:22] Naoki**
Kourin, we're definitely gonna
participate in the Vanguard Koshien.
**[21:26] Naoki**
So we'll see you there, right?
**[21:29] Naoki**
You're an official supporter, yeah?
With ULTRARARE and all!
**[21:32] Kourin**
I'm not sure.
**[21:34] Kourin**
Once the force of destiny makes its corrections,
**[21:37] Kourin**
I doubt the three of us
will have ever been in ULTRARARE.
**[21:42] Misaki**
Really?
**[21:44] Kourin**
But it's okay.
**[21:47] Kourin**
If I have this, I'm sure
I'll be able to meet you all again.
**[21:54] Misaki**
How so?
**[21:56] Kourin**
It's like Aichi said.
**[21:58] Kourin**
We're in a world in which anyone
can connect to others through Vanguard.
**[22:04] Aichi**
Let's imagine it, Kourin.
**[22:07] Aichi**
We can create a destiny
in which we all meet again.
**[22:11] Kourin**
Yeah.
**[22:13] Kourin**
I'll see you all later.
**[22:32] Naoki**
It ain't like you to wear
somethin' like that, Boss.
**[22:35] Misaki**
Yeah, I feel the same way.
**[22:38] Misaki**
Why did I decide to wear it...?
**[22:41] Misaki**
And don't call me "Boss"!
**[22:44] Shingo**
But I have the feeling I've seen it before...
**[22:49] Aichi**
Good morning!
**[22:51] Aichi**
Misaki!
**[22:52] Aichi**
Shingo!
**[22:53] Aichi**
Naoki!
**[22:57] Aichi**
Morning practice starts today.
**[22:59] Aichi**
Let's do our best!
**[23:04] Kourin**
I'll see you all later.
**[23:10] Kai**
Ibuki, why do you use "The,"
as in "Stand up, The Vanguard"?
**[23:14] Ibuki**
That came out of nowhere...
**[23:16] Kai**
Tell him, Ren.
**[23:17] Ren**
I started adding "The" to imitate Kai.
**[23:20] Kai**
Since you used "The," Ibuki,
I assumed that's what you're supposed to say.
**[23:24] Kai**
It's like you're our "roots"!
**[23:25] Ren**
So right here and now,
tell us why you add the "The"!
**[23:30] Ibuki**
Wh-Why...?
**[23:32] Kai**
Go on, tell us!
**[23:33] Ren**
Hurry up!
**[23:34] Ibuki**
I'd love to tell you, but we're out of time!

**[00:39] Blaster**
Sh-She's not with them.
**[00:41] Blaster**
And no one has mentioned Kourin at all.
**[00:44] Blaster**
What could it mean?
**[00:49] Blaster**
Good even-guard, everyone.
**[00:51] Blaster**
It's me, your old pal, Blaster Blade.
**[00:53] Blaster**
Tonight, I present to you
**[00:55] Blaster**
the path taken by my Vanguard,
who is now a high school student.

Get lost!
***SIGN*** My Vanguard, Forging a Path to the Future
All About Aichi Sendou! 2!
**[01:11] Lozenge**
Sheesh, you're doing it all wrong again.
**[01:14] Lozenge**
This is a clips show--
I mean, a very special show!
**[01:17] Lozenge**
We're here once again to introduce the units!
***SIGN*** Special Show! Unit Encyclopedia Grade 2
**[01:22] Blaster**
Oh, hi, Lozenge Magus.

I'm Asaka's avatar, Golden Beast Tamer!
**[01:43] Lozenge**
What are you two here for?
**[01:46] Tamer**
Isn't it obvious? For a competition!
**[01:48] Lozenge**
A competition?
**[01:50] Tamer**
Yep. Just introducing the units is too dull!
***SIGN*** Unit Introduction / Academy Competition Fukuhara vs Miyaji
**[01:58] Tamer**
It seems our Vanguards are
all aiming for the Vanguard Koshien,
**[02:01] Tamer**
so we'll do a prelude to that with
our Fukuhara High and your Miyaji High!
**[02:06] Blaster**
That sounds like fun!
**[02:08] Dark**
Then let's get start--
**[02:09] Tamer**
Our Fukuhara is gonna win!
**[02:12] Lozenge**
No, Miyaji will!
**[02:15] Dark**
Just like last time, they sideline me.
***SIGN*** Countdown:
seconds until opening
**[02:17] Tamer**
All right, let's get started!
**[02:18] Dark**
It's so not fair.
**[02:19] Tamer**
For "Bonus Episode:

**[02:20] Dark**
Why me? Why's it always me?
**[02:23] All**

**[04:07] Blaster&Lozenge**

**[04:09] Dark**
Our Fukuhara is cool with going second.
**[04:12] Blaster**
Then we'll go first!
**[04:16] Lozenge**

its Vanguard Koshien debut.
**[04:21] Lozenge**

they're all aiming for victory,

**[09:15] Blond**
It's commercial time!

...both possess the Delete skill.
**[17:16] Dark**
With rear-guards, the effect
is the same as with Bind,
**[17:19] Dark**
but if the Vanguard gets deleted,
its power becomes 0,
**[17:22] Dark**
and of course, you can't use its skills.

The player is downgraded to an astral body.

the force of destiny between Cray and Earth!
**[18:14] Blond**

control of that powerful force of destiny.

Hold on, everyone.
**[20:54] Dark**

The winner is Fukuhara!
**[20:59] Dark**
See, Greion's Vanguard
also goes to Fukuhara High,
**[21:03] Dark**
meaning that we introduced
one more clan than you.
**[21:07] Dark**
Miyaji introduced four.
**[21:10] Dark**
Fukuhara introduced... five!
**[21:13] Dark**
How about that?!
**[21:14] Lozenge**
Get lost!
**[21:17] Blond**

will all be settled at the Vanguard Koshi--
