# CARDFIGHT!! VANGUARD
The main protagonist Aichi Sendou, is a timid and mundane third-year middle school boy. The thing that supported Aichi's heart, was the "Blaster Blade" card that he received as a child. It's an important rare card from "Vanguard", a card game with the imaginary world of "Planet Cray" as its stage. From the day he reunited with the person who gave him that card "Toshiki Kai", Aichi's everyday life began to change.

**[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!

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

but who led the 8,000 troops

**[08:22] Mark**

**[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**

**[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.

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...

Shut up!
**[04:34] Morikawa**
Don't talk to me!
**[04:37] Izaki**
Morikawa!
**[04:37] Inenaga**
Morikawa!
**[04:41] Aichi**
W-Wait, Morikawa!
**[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
on the wind from Hong Kong!
**[21:12] Nagisa**
Leon Soryu!
**[21:14] Nagisa**
And the leader of these
top three Asia Circuit fighters!
**[21:18] 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**
"I" for Izaki!

"I" for Inenaga!

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!

**[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!

I can't believe you showed up with the enemy...
**[04:00] Aichi**
U-Um...
**[04:03] Aichi**
Let's...
**[04:04] Emi**
I hope you and Aichi play well today!
**[04:09] Kamui**
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!

It's a card game in which you yourself
become the vanguard and fight!
**[00:36] Kai**
Imagine it!
Imagination will become your strength!

**[02:32] Leon**
This means I'll be able to fight you.
**[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**

**[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?!

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!

**[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,

**[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!

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**

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.

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.

**[01:28] 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!

Get up, Burstraizer!
**[04:16] Kamui**
And with its skill, Raizer Custom also stands!

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**

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!
**[05:55] Kamui**
It's okay. I'll do it!

Kamui...

Why is Kamui...?

Don't worry, Gouki!

I beat you! I surpassed you!
**[06:16] Kamui**
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!

**[10:31] Kyou**
Broken Arrow!
**[10:40] Aichi**
That attack passed right through
a rear-guard in the front row!
**[10:43] Gouki**
Swift Archer, FUSHIMI can attack the back row.
**[10:48] Kyou**
Drive check!
**[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!

Okay, let's get started.
**[00:04] Kyou**
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!

Lend me a hand.

Nitro Juggler!
**[16:15] Asaka**
Nitro Juggler's skill!
**[16:18] Asaka**
We have another present for you.
**[16:21] Nitro**
Here you go.
**[16:22] Miwa**
No thank you!
**[16:23] Miwa**
Rocket Hammer Man!
**[16:29] Asaka**
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!
**[16:57] Miwa**

**[17:07] Asaka**
I give all of the effects to my
Nitro Juggler on the Accel Circle!
**[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!
**[19:26] Miwa**
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?

Hey! I'm not on show here!
***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**

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?

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!

...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**

**[08:00] Misaki**
Who are you calling a cat burglar?!

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**

**[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**

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**

That wasn't the deal!

**[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**

**[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.

**[13:32] Ren**
Greediness Shadow!
**[13:36] Misaki**

**[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.

Call!

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?!

Dispelling the dark clouds
that obstruct the way to hope!

I superior ride...

**[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
with PSYqualia has begun.
**[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!

**[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!

There he is!
**[08:03] Aichi**

**[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!

Yeah. I'm back to normal!

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.

**[11:40] 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.

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.

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...

**[20:36] 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.

**[23:33] 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.

**[16:54] Izaki**
Sensei!
**[16:56] Izaki**
This isn't the Warring States Period...
**[16:58] Inenaga**
Exactly. We can easily see each other again.
**[17:01] The Three**
Right!
**[17:03] Mark**
But aren't some of you guys
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
on your own until you graduate from college.
**[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!

You'd better not lose!

Even though he's about to enter high school,
**[01:11] Misaki**
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!
**[01:34] Aichi**
From the military force of planet Cray's
**[01:37] Aichi**
hallowed nation of United Sanctuary,
**[01:39] Aichi**
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...
**[04:17] Magus**
That's why we're here to present ourselves!

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?!

Well, but, something about it...

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

**[13:45] Magus**
Take a look at her:
***SIGN*** Imperial Daughter
**[13:47] Magus**
Imperial Daughter!
**[13:49] Magus**
Consider triggers.
**[13:50] Misaki**
Imperial Daughter's skill!
**[13:53] Misaki**
I look at the top two cards of my deck,
**[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**
Critical trigger!
**[14:09] Magus**
In other words, she's able to
make an uncertain future certain!
**[14:14] Blaster**
I see!
**[14:15] Battleraizer**
Now that's an Oracle!
***SIGN*** Luck Bird
**[14:18] Magus**
Luck Bird!
**[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
**[14:37] Magus**
Let me introduce: Silent Tom!
**[14:40] Magus**
He's a bit smug, but his work is flawless.
**[14:43] Magus**
Then there's our pièce de résistance...
***SIGN*** Oracle Guardian, Gemini
**[14:45] Magus**
Oracle Guardian, Gemini!
**[14:49] Battleraizer**
Something about it's...
**[14:55] Magus**
I wouldn't look if I were you.
It'll just give you nightmares.
***SIGN*** Unit Encyclopedia
**[14:59] Magus**
Do you understand us now?
**[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.
***SIGN*** Fight! Kamui
**[15:24] Battleraizer**
Keep at it, my Vanguard!
**[15:28] Battleraizer**
Hot-hot-hot-hot!
***SIGN*** Please Stand By

Why, this is none other than
Toshiki Kai's avatar, Overlord!
**[15:36] Blaster**
Huh? "Why didn't you
introduce me in the first half?"
**[15:42] Battleraizer**
C-Commercial! Commercial!
**[15:44] Blaster**
Cut to a commercial!
***SIGN*** Sub Manager

***SIGN*** Please Stand By
**[16:13] Battleraizer**
In the end...
**[16:14] Magus**
This was our fate...
**[16:17] Blaster**
This is the unit with
"the flames of apocalypse"...
***SIGN*** Unit Encyclopedia 4 Kagero
**[16:22] Kai**
I ride!
**[16:27] Kai**
Behold the power and might
known as the Flames of Apocalypse.
**[16:33] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord!
***SIGN*** Dragonic Overlord
**[16:35] Blaster**
Overlord, the avatar of
my Vanguard's rival, Toshiki Kai,
**[16:40] Blaster**
is a dragon among dragons.
**[16:42] Blaster**
When it releases its hellish Eternal Flame,
**[16:45] Blaster**
all tremble in fear of
the unquenchable flames of despair!
**[16:51] Blaster**
No, not in here!
***SIGN*** Pause
**[16:52] Magus**
Since it's come to this...
**[16:57] Blaster**
Th-Then let us continue.
***SIGN*** Bellicosity Dragon
**[16:59] Blaster**
Kagero is a powerhouse of warriors,

**[17:27] Blaster**
These heavy hitters are supported
**[17:29] Blaster**
by those that are called Dragon Men.
**[17:32] Blaster**
And we definitely cannot forget this one.
***SIGN*** Transcendence Dragon, Dragonic Nouvelle Vague
**[17:35] Blaster**
Transcendence Dragon,
Dragonic Nouvelle Vague!
**[17:43] Battleraizer**
Hot-hot-hot-hot-hot!
***SIGN*** Please Stand By
**[17:49] Magus**
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...
**[17:58] Dark**
Indeed.
***SIGN*** Unit Encyclopedia 5 Shadow Paladin
**[17:59] Dark**
This darkness, this world of the abyss
**[18:02] Dark**
is a perfect fit for my appearance!
**[18:05] Ren**
I ride!
**[18:07] Ren**
Shadows travel solely on the path of fate.
**[18:13] Ren**
I am the vanguard of darkness...
**[18:16] Ren**
...Blaster Dark.
***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!
***SIGN*** Jet-black
**[18:50] Magus**
Eternal chaos!
***SIGN*** Chaos
**[18:52] Battleraizer**
Um... We worship the darkness!
***SIGN*** Darkness
**[18:56] Dark**
You called?!
**[18:57] Dark**
My endless darkness answers!
**[19:00] Dark**
Servants, attend me!
***SIGN*** Blaster Rapier Blaster Axe Blaster Javelin
**[19:03] Dark**
Behold...
**[19:04] Dark**
...the power of the servants of darkness!
**[19:09] Blaster**
We did it.
**[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.
**[19:19] Dark**
Look!
***SIGN*** The Dark Dictator
**[19:20] Dark**
Watch as my Vanguard,
Ren Suzugamori, becomes one with
**[19:23] Dark**
the embodiment of ultimate darkness!
**[19:26] Dark**
The Dark Dictator!
**[19:28] Dark**
Possessing power that
surpasses your knight kings,
**[19:31] Dark**
a warrior without peer!
**[19:34] Dark**
We Shadow Paladins are the strongest--
***SIGN*** The End
**[19:38] Blaster**
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...
**[20:22] All**
...Vanguard!
**[20:30] Gouki**
I'm not interested in any wimpy fighters!
**[20:33] Gouki**
But this passionate
man of the sea will train you!
**[20:39] Gouki**
Cardshop...
**[20:41] Gouki?**
...Voyage.
**[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!
**[12:10] Aichi**
Oh, Misaki!
**[12:13] Misaki**
Aichi...
**[12:15] Aichi**
Good morning, Misaki.
**[12:16] Misaki**
Good morning.

Congrats to Aichi!
**[12:41] Kamui**
Nah, I'm not that good!
**[12:47] Aichi**
Thank you!
**[12:52] Morikawa**
So this is the hand that shook Kourin's...
**[12:57] Shin**
Having one of our regulars become
Asia champion really affects our sales!
**[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**
Aw yeah! I won again!
**[17:12] Miwa**
You see that, Aichi?
**[17:14] Miwa**
Huh? What're you doing there?

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.

**[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?

Sorry, I've changed my mind about joining.

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?

**[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

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.

**[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**

**[17:59] Kyou**

**[18:01] Rekka**
Lily of the Valley Musketeer, Kaivant!
**[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**
Then so shall I!
**[18:25] Kyou**

...ZANBAKU's skill activates!
**[18:53] Kyou**
I superior call Right Arrester!
**[18:58] Kyou**
I'll blow you away!

**[19:03] Kyou**
I got a critical!
**[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**
Here I go!
**[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?!

Nah, I'll pass.

**[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**

**[06:30] Misaki**
The manager called me a little while ago.
**[06:33] Misaki**
He went shopping,
but left his wallet here.
**[06:36] Misaki**
I'm taking it to him.
**[06:42] Kyou**
I'm pretty sure it's around here.
**[06:46] Morikawa**
The heck? Why ain't Aichi here?
**[06:50] Morikawa**
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**

Awesome!

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**

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!
**[08:08] Kamui**
Figures he'd use Dragonic Overlord!
**[08:12] Kai**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[08:24] Kai**
Let's go, you guys!
**[08:26] Kai**
Berserk Dragon!
**[08:28] Kai**
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**
Twin drive!
**[11:32] 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?!

**[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**

**[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...

Ren and I will be staying with you.
**[06:05] Tetsu**

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!

Fukuhara Middle School...
**[07:48] Kamui**

**[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!

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

Misa-Q, our potstickers are about to burn...

**[02:13] Naoki**
Aichi, fight with me!
**[02:19] Misaki**
Aichi!
**[02:19] Shingo**
Sendou!
**[02:21] Aichi**
I know the rules of this battle.
**[02:25] Aichi**
If I lose, I'll turn into a PSYqualia zombie.
**[02:28] Aichi**
If I win, Naoki will be set free.
**[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?

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.

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!

**[05:12] 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.

She can never be freed
from being a Called Walker.
**[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**

**[12:24] Aichi**

**[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.

**[23:38] Suiko**
I can't tell him!

at Card Capital and at the Cardfight Club.
**[00:18] Aichi**
You'll continue to stay by my side, won't you?

Of course.

**[00:48] 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!

**[00:00] Takuto**
That's right!
**[00:01] Takuto**
You Vanguard fighters are destined
to grovel before Aichi Sendou.
**[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**
This image...
**[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...
**[00:24] Aichi**

Swordsmen of Light,
**[00:40] Ibuki**
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,

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.
***SIGN*** My Vanguard, Forging a Path to the Future

**[01:07] Lozenge**
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.

introduce the upgraded units that--

Halt!
**[01:31] Dark**
Good even-guard! Blaster Dark here!

**[01:38] Tamer**
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**

it's Narukami versus Dark Irregulars.
**[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**
Miyaji Academy is making
its Vanguard Koshien debut.
**[04:21] Lozenge**

they're all aiming for victory,

**[11:46] Rekka**
Love-love!
**[11:48] Blaster**
Again with "love-love"!
**[11:51] Blaster**
Will somebody please explain
what she means by "love-love"?!
***SIGN*** Please Stand By
**[11:58] Dark**
I knew it was your doing, Overlord...
**[12:02] Blaster**
Hm? You say that your Vanguard, Toshiki Kai,
**[12:05] Blaster**
will also be participating in the
Vanguard Koshien, but in a new form?
**[12:11] Blaster**
Then show us Overlord's new form!
***SIGN*** Dragonic Overlord the Great
**[12:18] Kai**
Dance among the flames...
**[12:20] Kai**
...and rise to the challenge!
**[12:22] Kai**

For the third round...

**[12:52] Lozenge**
...it's our Oracle Think Tank versus Pale Moon!
**[12:56] Dark**
Wait a sec!
**[12:57] Dark**
Didn't Oracle Think Tank
get introduced last time?
**[13:02] Lozenge**
Take a look at this, silly!
***SIGN*** Rectangle Magus
**[13:08] Misaki**
It's my turn!
**[13:09] Misaki**

Have no fear! Leave this to me!
***SIGN*** Her Daily Life
**[15:16] Tetsu**
Sometimes, she's the secretary
of a financial conglomerate.
**[15:19] Tetsu**
Other times, she's the manager of an idol group.
**[15:23] Tetsu**
She never gets a day off.
**[15:28] Tetsu**
That's right.
**[15:29] Tetsu**
She's a warrior who lives in the moment!
**[15:32] Ushimaru**

**[16:00] Blaster**
It got fixed, somehow...
**[16:01] Dark**
But what was that?
**[16:05] Dark**
It's you...!
**[16:06] Dark**
Greion?!
**[16:14] Dark**
Is it... crying?
**[16:16] Blond**
Since it's here, why don't we introduce it?
***SIGN*** Ferment Deletor, Gaen
**[16:25] Ibuki**
I ride!
**[16:27] Ibuki**
Ferment Deletor, Gaen!
***SIGN*** Hailing Deletor, Alba Hailing Deletor, Elro
**[16:31] Ibuki**
And now, come to me! Alba! Elro!
**[16:35] Dark**
This is Link Joker.
**[16:37] Dark**
Its units are all invaders,
targeting the planet Cray.
**[16:41] Dark**
Their specialty is interfering
with the opponent's units.
***SIGN*** Docking Deletor, Greion
**[16:51] Dark**
Indeed, Docking Deletor, Greion...
***SIGN*** Waving Deletor, Greidhol
**[17:11] Dark**
...and Waving Deletor, Greidhol...
**[17:14] Dark**
...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.
**[17:24] Dark**
The player is downgraded to an astral body.
***SIGN*** Wandering Starhulk Ruler, Brandt
**[17:29] Dark**
Speaking of units that specialize
in interfering with the opponent,
**[17:32] Dark**
you really can't forget this one.
**[17:34] Takuto**
I ride!
**[17:40] Takuto**
Wandering Starhulk Ruler, Brandt!
**[17:43] Dark**
It controls the force of destiny
to reverse trigger effects.
**[17:48] Takuto**
Here we go!
**[17:52] Takuto**
Clap Burst!
**[17:59] Dark**
No! Not my Vanguard!
***SIGN*** Wandering Starhulk Deity, Brandt Ringer
**[18:06] Dark**
Isn't that...?
**[18:08] Blond**
Yes!
**[18:09] Blond**
That's the ringleader who tried to eliminate
the force of destiny between Cray and Earth!
**[18:14] Blond**
Wandering Starhulk Deity, Brandt Ringer!
**[18:18] Blaster**
My Vanguard fought boldly to end its
control of that powerful force of destiny.
**[18:26] Lozenge**
Look! Next is the fourth round!
***SIGN*** Fourth Round: Shadow Paladin (Fukuhara) x Royal Paladin (Miyagi)
**[18:30] Blaster**
All right! Last is our Royal Paladin clan!
**[18:33] Blaster**
For the glory of Miyaji!
***SIGN*** Arc Saver Dragon

Messianic Lord Blaster!
**[19:21] Aichi**

connect to others through Vanguard!
**[19:24] Aichi**
You're not alone anymore!
**[19:28] Aichi&Messianic**
Sextet Photon Blade!
**[19:33] Dark**
Not bad at all!
**[19:34] Dark**
But you're not the only one who got a new form!
**[19:38] Dark**
Behold the incarnation
of a dragon stained jet black!
***SIGN*** Gust Blaster Dragon
**[19:46] Ren**
Born from the highest grade of terror,
**[19:48] Ren**
an embodiment of fear takes form...
**[19:51] Ren**
I ride!
**[19:53] Ren**
Gust Blaster Dragon!
**[20:00] Ren**
Gust Blast Stream!
***SIGN*** Phantom Blaster Dragon
**[20:09] Ren**
Born from the dark abyss,
**[20:13] Ren**
a maelstrom of power gone amok takes form...
**[20:16] Ren**
Ride The Vanguard!
**[20:19] Ren**
Phantom Blaster Dragon!
**[20:21] Ren**
Damned Charging Lance!
**[20:28] Lozenge**
So...
**[20:30] Lozenge**
In the end, which side won?
**[20:32] Tamer**
Of course it's Fukuhara!
**[20:34] Lozenge**
No, obviously it's Miyaji!
**[20:38] Tamer**
It's definitely Fukuhara!
**[20:40] Lozenge**
It's definitely Miyaji!
***SIGN*** Unit Introduction / Academy Competition Fukuhara vs Miyaji
**[20:50] Dark**
Oh, good point!
***SIGN*** Unit Introduction / Academy Competition Fukuhara vs Miyaji
**[20:52] Dark**
Hold on, everyone.
**[20:54] Dark**
In this competition...
**[20:56] 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**
Now, now...
**[21:18] Blond**
Just keep watching, and this
will all be settled at the Vanguard Koshi--
**[21:22] The Three**
Says you!
**[21:25] Blond**
You jerks...
**[21:27] Blond**
The victory belongs to... Tatsunagi!
**[21:33] Blaster**
I'm counting on all of you!
**[21:34] Blaster**
Please cheer on our Vanguards
as they aim for the Vanguard Koshien!

**[01:01] Tetsu**
We can't afford to make

***SIGN*** Hitsue High School
***SIGN*** Hitsue High Vanguard Club
**[01:08] Morikawa**
Even our school, Hitsue High,
has a shot at winning it!
**[01:12] Miwa**
Only if Toshiki Kai joins the team.
***SIGN*** Hitsue 2nd-Year, Taishi Miwa
**[01:16] Miwa**
He's promised to join the club
if you beat him even once, right?
***SIGN*** Hitsue 1st-Year & Captain

**[01:20] Morikawa**
Yeah!
**[01:21] Morikawa**
That's why I'm having you
put me through intensive training, Miwa!

Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[01:42] Aichi**
Skill activates!
**[01:44] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[01:46] Naoki**
The closer the Vanguard Koshien gets,
***SIGN*** Miyaji 1st-Year
Naoki Ishida
**[01:49] Naoki**
the more pumped you get, Aichi.
**[01:52] Shingo**
In any case, our Cardfight Club
has been officially recognized as a club,
***SIGN*** Miyaji First-Year Shingo Komoi
**[01:56] Shingo**
so this will be our first real competition.
***SIGN*** Miyaji 2nd-Year Misaki Tokura
**[02:00] Misaki**
I'd like us to make our mark there,
to whatever extent we can.
**[02:03] Aichi**
That's part of it...
**[02:06] Aichi**
...but while I can't really explain why,
**[02:08] Aichi**
I also have this overwhelming desire
**[02:11] Aichi**
to win the Vanguard Koshien.
**[02:13] Naoki**
Declarin' victory already?
***SIGN*** Tatsunagi Foundation Presents: Vanguard Koshien!! Challengers wanted! We await your entry!
**[02:16] Naoki**
That's unusual for you, Aichi.
**[02:20] Aichi**
I think so, too...
**[02:22] Naoki**
Hey, why not?
**[02:25] Naoki**
Let's get up on that winners' podium together!
**[02:28] Aichi**
Naoki!
**[02:29] Naoki**
Now let's get back to our fight, Aichi!
**[02:33] Maki**
Cardfight Club captain, Aichi Sendou.
**[02:36] Maki**
Please report to the
Student Council Office at once.
**[02:39] Naoki**
C'mon, I was just havin' a cool moment!
**[02:42] Misaki**
Why are you being called
to the Student Council Office?
**[02:45] Aichi**
W-Well, I guess I'll go and see.
***SIGN*** Student Council Office
**[02:49] Aichi**
I'm Aichi Sendou of the Cardfight Club.
**[02:52] Naitou**
Enter.
**[02:54] Aichi**
Excuse me.
**[03:01] Aichi**
Um...
**[03:03] Naitou**
The Cardfight Club...
**[03:06] Naitou**
...is disbanded!
**[03:07] Naitou**
Disbanded!
**[03:08] Naitou**
Disbanded!
***SIGN*** Dimension 1 Disband!!
**[04:48] Naoki**
The Cardfight Club...?!
**[04:50] Aichi**
Yeah.
**[04:51] Shingo**
Just how can that be?!
**[04:53] Aichi**
They said we need five members to form a club,
**[04:56] Aichi**
but we had only four names on our application.
**[04:59] Misaki**
That can't be right!
***SIGN*** {Monday through Friday after school
}Members:
Aichi Sendou
Naoki Ishida
Shingo Komoi
Misaki Tokura
**[05:03] Shingo**
It's true. There are only four names.
**[05:06] Naoki**
That don't make sense!
**[05:08] Naoki**
We turned in our application
'cause we had five members!
**[05:14] Aichi**
Did we have one additional person?
**[05:21] Misaki**
I know! The photo!
**[05:23] Shingo**
That's right!
**[05:24] Shingo**
We all took our picture together
to commemorate the founding of the club!
**[05:29] Naoki**
Four people...
**[05:30] Misaki**
But how...?!
**[05:33] Aichi**
The Student Council said we have
three days to vacate the clubroom.
**[05:40] Naitou**
Very impressive, Nagashiro!
**[05:43] Naitou**
If you hadn't noticed
who Aichi Sendou really was,
**[05:46] Naitou**
we would've had a major situation on our hands.
**[05:49] Maki**
With him, they would be likely to pass the
preliminaries of the upcoming Vanguard Koshien,
***SIGN*** Tatsunagi Foundation Presents: Vanguard Koshien!! Challengers wanted!
**[05:55] Maki**
possibly even advancing to the finals.
**[05:58] Itsuki**
If that happened, this would
be their traveling expenses.
**[06:02] Itsuki**
If they make it to the finals,
this would be their lodging expenses.
**[06:07] Itsuki**
Include miscellaneous expenses,
and this would be the total.
**[06:10] Naitou**
Th-That's outrageous!
**[06:13] Itsuki**
Our club activity budget
would fall into the red,
**[06:16] Itsuki**
which means our three o'clock
snack of 41 Flavors ice cream
**[06:20] Itsuki**
may well be replaced by Mr. Scrapey popsicles!
***SIGN*** Mr. Scrapey Lemon Soda
**[06:24] Naitou**
Even from a global viewpoint,
disbanding them is the correct decision!
**[06:27] Itsuki**
We should thank them for their
simple mistake of lacking enough members.
**[06:34] Maki**
Seriously... that's too simple of a mistake.
**[06:38] Naoki**
If the reason's that
we ain't got enough members,
**[06:41] Naoki**
then we've just gotta get another one, right?
**[06:44] Shingo**
But we only have three days.
**[06:46] Aichi**
That's true, but...
**[06:48] Naoki**
When we formed the club,
**[06:50] Naoki**
we had a bunch of hopefuls
linin' up for a shot at gettin' in.
**[06:54] Misaki**
Now that you mention it, we did...
**[06:57] Naoki**
You'd think we had an idol in the club!
**[06:59] Shingo**
But we do, don't we?
**[07:02] Shingo**
Sendou is my...
**[07:04] Shingo**
No, he's the entire Vanguard world's idol!
**[07:09] Naoki**
Well, gettin' another member
should be a piece of cake.
**[07:12] Naoki**
It's like Toshiki Kai fightin' Morikawa!
**[07:15] Naoki**
We've got a 200% chance of winnin'!
**[07:19] Kamui**
I-It can't be!
**[07:21] Miwa**
No way!
**[07:22] Morikawa**
Yeah! I did it!
**[07:25] Morikawa**
What do you think of my ability now?!
**[07:29] Aichi**
Hello!
**[07:31] Naoki**
Huh?
**[07:32] Misaki**
Shin...
**[07:33] Shin**
Oh, Misaki. Welcome back.
**[07:36] Misaki**
What happened?
**[07:38] Shin**
Kai just...
**[07:39] Shin**
...lost to Morikawa.
**[07:41] Shingo**
What?!
**[07:42] Naoki**
For real?!
**[07:45] Morikawa**
Like you promised, you've gotta
join the Vanguard Club, Toshiki Kai!
**[07:58] Aichi**
Kai...
**[08:00] Kai**
Recently, I fought Ibuki here
for the first time in years.
**[08:08] Aichi**
Ibuki?
**[08:09] Kai**
Ever since losing to him,
**[08:11] Kai**
I just can't get into playing Vanguard.
**[08:16] Kai**
I'm no good at imagining myself
battling on the planet Cray anymore.
**[08:22] Kai**
Even if I join the Vanguard Club,
with the way I am now...
**[08:26] Kai**
...I might just be a liability.
**[08:28] Aichi**
Th-That's not true...
**[08:31] Kai**
It feels like I may have lost something.
**[08:36] Kai**
But I don't know what it was.
**[08:40] Rekka**
Of course you've all heard about it, right?
**[08:43] Kourin**
The tournament to decide
Vanguard's number-one high school.
**[08:47] Kourin**
It's called...
**[08:48] ULTRARARE**
...the Vanguard Koshien!
**[08:48] Aichi**
Maybe I did, too...
**[08:51] Suiko**
Formerly known as the
Vanguard High School Championship
**[08:51] Emi**
Aichi, aren't you forgetting something?
**[08:55] Emi**
You haven't brushed your teeth yet, have you?!
**[08:58] Aichi**
Oh!
**[08:59] Emi**
Be sure to brush before
going to sleep. Goodnight!
**[09:07] Aichi**
I may have lost something...
**[09:10] Aichi**
...without even realizing it.
**[09:16] Girl**
Good morning!
**[09:17] Aichi**
Won't you play Vanguard with us?!
**[09:19] Aichi**
Beginners are welcome!

Won't you play Vanguard with us?!
***SIGN*** Cardfight Club Now accepting new members!

P-Please join...
**[09:37] Shingo**
Smile! Smile!
**[09:41] Naoki**
J-Join us!
**[09:48] Misaki**
What are you doing?!
**[09:50] Misaki**
They all ran away!
**[09:53] Misaki**
I-It's not what you think. I was just...
**[09:59] Naoki**
N-Now they're runnin' from you, Boss!
**[10:02] Misaki**
I'm not a "Boss"!
**[10:04] Shingo**
Shut up!
**[10:07] Aichi**
We just need one person...
**[10:10] Shingo**
...but no one's willing to join.
**[10:12] Naoki**
It ain't my fault!
**[10:15] Naoki**
What?!
**[10:16] Shingo**
I didn't say anything.
**[10:19] Misaki**
Sorry, but I have to work today.
**[10:22] Misaki**
I'm taking off.
**[10:23] Aichi**
We'll see you there afterwards.
**[10:26] Naoki**
Come on!
**[10:27] Naoki**
We've still got two more days!
**[10:28] Naoki**
It'll all work out somehow!
**[10:30] Shingo**
I'd like to think so...
**[10:32] Aichi**
It's open.
**[10:40] Naoki**
Who's this guy?
**[10:42] Shingo**
A stalker?
**[10:44] Eru**
And what do you want?
**[10:46] Shingo**
That's our line!
**[10:48] Shingo**
No trespassing in our room!
**[10:50] Eru**
I'm not trespassing.
**[10:52] Eru**
This room called out to me.
**[10:55] Eru**
It said, "Make me your research base!"
**[11:01] Shingo**
Could you please not stand on our fight table?!
**[11:07] Eru**
My name is Eru. Eru Nakagami.
**[11:11] Eru**
I'm the leader of the Psychic Research Society.
**[11:14] Eru**
My alternate name is...
**[11:15] Eru**
Evil-Eye Eru!
**[11:28] Aichi**
The leader of the Psychic Research Society?
**[11:31] Naoki**
There's a club like that here?
**[11:34] Shingo**
Probably more like fellow fanatics
calling themselves a club.
**[11:37] Shingo**
It can't be an official club.
**[11:40] Naoki**
This is the Cardfight Club's room!
**[11:42] Naoki**
It says so right on the door!
**[11:46] Eru**
Not even my Evil Eye
**[11:49] Eru**
could detect the presence of words there.
**[11:52] Naoki**
You've gotta be mistaken.
**[11:55] Shingo**
Nothing's written there.
**[11:57] Naoki**
Was it a false memory?
**[11:59] Aichi**
Maybe he wants to join our club?
**[12:02] Naoki**
Where'd you get that idea?!
**[12:04] Aichi**
Well, he has a Vanguard deck.
**[12:08] Eru**
Oh ho? You saw right through me.
**[12:11] Naoki**
A Vanguard deck!
**[12:13] Eru**
But these are not the cards you think they are.
**[12:18] Eru**
They're ESP cards.
**[12:20] Aichi**
ESP...
**[12:22] Naoki**
...cards?
**[12:24] Shingo**
Cards that are used to determine
whether a person has psychic powers.
**[12:28] Shingo**
They typically have symbols
of things like stars or waves.
**[12:31] Eru**
I'll show you...
**[12:33] Eru**
...the power of my Evil Eye!
**[12:37] Eru**
King of Masks, Dantarian.
**[12:40] Aichi**
W-Wow! You're right!
**[12:45] Eru**
Alluring Succubus.
**[12:48] Aichi**
Right again!
**[12:49] Naoki**
Those bandages are see-through, ain't they?!
**[12:53] Eru**
Only I can master these cards!
**[12:56] Shingo**
That's not how you're supposed to use them!
**[13:00] Shingo**
It's unacceptable!
**[13:01] Naoki**
Shingo!
**[13:02] Shingo**
I'll teach you how to use them!
**[13:06] Eru**
Oh ho.
**[13:07] Eru**
The first apostle has appeared at last.
**[13:10] Aichi**
"A-Apostle"?
**[13:11] Shingo**
Don't dignify that with a response!
**[13:14] Eru**
Actually, I am aware of
one other way to use these cards.
**[13:20] Eru**
I'll fight you!
**[13:22] Shingo**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[13:25] Eru**
Arise, Vanguard!
**[13:29] Shingo**
I ride!
**[13:32] Shingo**
Stealth Dragon, Magatsu Wind!
**[13:35] Eru**
I ride!
**[13:38] Eru**
Vermillion Gatekeeper!
**[13:41] Shingo**
Damage check!
**[13:45] Shingo**
No trigger.
**[13:48] Naoki**
Shingo lost!
**[13:50] Aichi**
He's strong!
**[13:53] Eru**
I didn't even use my true power.
**[13:58] Maki**
You people!
**[13:59] Maki**
What are you doing in here?!
**[14:02] Naitou**
I told you that your club was disbanded.
**[14:05] Naoki**
But if we can get another
member within three days...
**[14:08] Naitou**
Three days was just the deadline
for you to move out.
**[14:11] Naitou**
It only means you have that much time
to pack your things and leave.
**[14:14] Naitou**
That's global common sense.
**[14:17] Naitou**
You're caught up in playing with cards,
**[14:20] Naitou**
which is why you lack that global viewpoint.
**[14:24] Naitou**
It's pathetic, really.
**[14:26] Aichi**
But we should be able to apply again!
**[14:29] Naitou**
You founded your club
by using a false application.
**[14:33] Naitou**
Don't expect that you can simply re-apply!
**[14:36] Naitou**
For three years... No.
**[14:38] Naitou**
For as long as I'm alive,
your club won't be allowed to exist.
**[14:43] Aichi**
B-But that's...
**[14:44] Shingo**
...too harsh!
**[14:48] Eru**
All things must perish. It is manifest destiny!
**[14:52] Eru**
But beyond the apocalypse
**[14:55] Eru**
lies the land of milk and honey
of my psychic research!
**[14:58] Eru**
It is the promised land!
***SIGN*** Psychic Research Society
**[15:06] Naitou**
Who on earth was that?
**[15:09] Maki**
Nakagami.
**[15:10] Maki**
The representative of
the Psychic Research Society.
**[15:13] Maki**
He's applied for official club status
a number of times.
**[15:16] Itsuki**
President, you've rejected his bids
**[15:18] Itsuki**
for not being in line with
Miyaji Academy's global traditions.
**[15:23] Naitou**
Is there any national tournament
for psychic research?
**[15:26] Itsuki**
I don't believe so.
**[15:28] Maki**
But even if there was...
**[15:31] Maki**
If they requested funds for transportation,
**[15:33] Maki**
we could simply tell them,
"Use teleportation to get there."
**[15:37] Naitou**
Good point, Nagashiro.
**[15:41] Naitou**
We're giving that clubroom
to the Psychic Research Society.
**[15:46] Naitou**
Nakagami, give me your application
for formal club recognition.
**[15:51] Naitou**
As soon as I give my permission,
that room will be yours.
**[15:54] Eru**
I only follow heaven's decree.
**[15:57] Naitou**
For now, you can just write it down.
**[15:59] Naitou**
Please make a list of the
five or more members of your club.
**[16:02] Eru**
Huh? Five?
**[16:05] Itsuki**
You may use this desk.
**[16:07] Eru**
Y-Yes. If that is heaven's decree...
***SIGN*** Eru Nakagami Toran Nakao Gan Chisato
**[16:18] Aichi**
I wonder what's wrong.
**[16:20] Shingo**
He probably doesn't have any other members.
**[16:24] Eru**
No! Stop!
**[16:26] Eru**
C-Calm down, my right arm!
**[16:30] Naitou**
What's wrong, Nakagami?
**[16:31] Eru**
It demands a sacrifice!
**[16:34] Eru**
I fear that we're about to be
plunged into dangerous territory!
**[16:43] Naitou**
No!
**[16:47] Maki**
Make it stop!
**[16:53] Eru**
You would all come to harm
if I were to remain here.
**[16:56] Eru**
Unfortunately, I will have to
turn in the application form tomorrow.
**[17:00] Eru**
Frame out!
**[17:02] Naoki**
Did we narrowly escape death?
***SIGN*** Vanguard Koshien!!
**[17:08] Aichi**
Misaki!
**[17:10] Shingo**
Are you going grocery shopping?
**[17:12] Misaki**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** Tatsunagi Foundation Presents: Vanguard Koshien!!
**[17:14] Naoki**
The Vanguard Koshien...
I really wanna do it.
**[17:19] Shingo**
Sendou, you've met
ULTRARARE before, haven't you?
**[17:23] Aichi**
Yes, at the Asia Circuit award ceremony.
**[17:27] Aichi**
But I didn't actually talk to them...
**[17:32] Misaki**
That Kourin girl...
**[17:34] Misaki**
Has her hairstyle changed?
**[17:36] Aichi**
Has it?
**[17:38] Misaki**
I feel like it has...
**[17:48] Ushimaru**
Isn't that the Asia champion, Aichi Sendou?
**[17:54] Ushimaru**
Over there, Kourin.
**[17:57] Kourin**
Oh, it is.
**[17:59] Ushimaru**
Looks like he's heading home from school.
**[18:01] Ushimaru**
If you were going to school,
**[18:04] Ushimaru**
then maybe you'd be leading
that kind of school life, too.
**[18:22] Misaki**
I'm not like you, Aichi,
**[18:23] Misaki**
but I also have a strong desire to win it.
**[18:26] Misaki**
That's strange, for me.
**[18:29] Aichi**
Then the first thing we have to do
is keep the club going.
**[18:32] Aichi**
Let's try asking the
Student Council one more time!
**[18:35] Misaki**
Oh, sure.
**[18:38] Naoki**
Let's all go together!
**[18:45] Kamui**
What's wrong with Brother Aichi and them?
**[18:48] Naoki**
Man, who knew the Vanguard Koshien'd
be a competition of five-person teams?
**[18:55] Misaki**
Up through last year's high school championship,
**[18:57] Misaki**
it was a team competition
with three people on a team.
**[19:00] Misaki**
I just assumed it'd be the same this year.
**[19:02] Shingo**
I suppose they made the change
as part of their expansion.
**[19:06] Aichi**
One more...
**[19:07] Aichi**
We just need one more person.
**[19:09] Aichi**
If anybody else becomes a member...
**[19:12] Misaki**
Aichi, let me see that application.
**[19:14] Aichi**
Sure...
***SIGN*** {Club Proposal Application

**[19:15] Naoki**
If they just need it in writin',
**[19:17] Naoki**
let's put down a random name!
**[19:20] Naoki**
Uh, but what name should we use?
**[19:23] Naoki**
Maybe Kourin Tatsunagi?
**[19:25] Aichi**
Th-That's going a bit far...
**[19:28] Misaki**
They accepted this application before, right?
**[19:33] Misaki**
Yes...
**[19:34] Misaki**
We can use this.
**[19:37] Aichi**
Use what, Misaki?
**[19:46] Naitou**
What? You people again?
**[19:48] Aichi**
E-Excuse us...
**[19:51] Naitou**
The Cardfight Club has been disbanded.
**[19:53] Naitou**
I'm not going to change my mind.
**[19:55] Naitou**
Now leave.
**[19:56] Misaki**
If our club is forced to disband,
**[19:59] Misaki**
it will damage your career, President.
**[20:01] Naitou**
What do you mean by that?
**[20:03] Misaki**
This application.
**[20:05] Naitou**
A deficient application is worth nothing.
***SIGN*** President of Student Council
**[20:08] Misaki**
But this has the personal seal
of the Student Council President.
**[20:14] Misaki**
Aichi, the president himself
stamped this, didn't he?
**[20:18] Aichi**
Yes, I saw him do it.
**[20:21] Itsuki**
Right, I saw it, too.
**[20:25] Misaki**
So this application reveals that the
president has no grasp of school regulations.
**[20:32] Misaki**
That is a serious problem.
**[20:36] Misaki**
Or perhaps...
**[20:37] Misaki**
...he's so bad at math
that he mixes up "four" and "five"?
**[20:42] Naoki**
That's our Boss!
**[20:43] Misaki**
I'm not a "Boss."
**[20:45] Naitou**
Even so...
**[20:46] Naitou**
...I can't approve the continued existence
of a club that lacks enough members!
**[20:50] Naitou**
That would be even more damaging to my career.
**[20:53] Misaki**
Then let's have a showdown.
**[20:56] Misaki**
A competition between the
Student Council and the Cardfight Club.
**[20:59] Misaki**
If we win,
**[21:01] Misaki**
you all have to join our club.
**[21:04] Naitou**
And if you lose?
**[21:07] Misaki**
Then--
**[21:08] Eru**
All four of you would have to
join my Psychic Research Society!
**[21:12] Eru**
In order for me to attain the promised land!
**[21:16] Misaki**
Who's he?
**[21:17] Aichi**
N-Nakagami...
**[21:19] Naoki**
He really was short on members...
**[21:23] Eru**
I shall lend my power to the Senate!
**[21:27] Maki**
That's "Student Council."
**[21:28] Naitou**
Can you actually help us?
**[21:30] Eru**
I sent their Glasses Boy to
the land of the dead yesterday.
**[21:36] Itsuki**
Then it's four against four.
**[21:38] Maki**
Wait!
**[21:39] Maki**
Sendou is the Asia champion.
**[21:42] Maki**
It's not fair for him to participate.
**[21:44] Naitou**
Yes, exactly!
**[21:45] Maki**
If he sits out and makes it
three against three, then we accept.
**[21:49] Misaki**
Understood.
**[21:51] Misaki**
Fine with you, Aichi?
**[21:53] Aichi**
Yes.
**[21:54] Aichi**
After all...
**[21:55] Aichi**
Misaki.
**[21:57] Aichi**
Naoki.
**[21:59] Aichi**
Shingo.
**[22:00] Aichi**
I believe in you.
**[22:03] Naitou**
What fools...
**[22:04] Naitou**
We'll show you the Student Council's...
**[22:08] Naitou**
...global power!
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is
Aichi's avatar, Blaster Blade.
***SIGN*** Blaster Blade
**[23:52] Narrator**
When placed, its Burst Buster can retire
one of the opponent's front row rear-guards.
**[23:57] Narrator**
Furthermore, if it's the Vanguard
and you call four or more rear-guards,
**[24:01] Narrator**
it'll gain an extra critical
through the bond with its comrades!
**[24:04] Narrator**
That can set up a powerful attack!
**[24:06] Narrator**
It's a reliable ace up your sleeve for helping
your game, from the opening to the final stage.
**[24:11] Narrator**
You too should use
this card to "Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Naitou**
I am Tatewaki Naitou, the global

of global human resources."
**[24:21] Naitou**
First, I shall give
a global greeting to the viewers.
**[24:24] Naitou**
"Good morning."
**[24:25] Maki**
President, considering the full global market,
shouldn't you give a Chinese greeting?
**[24:29] Naitou**
R-Right.
**[24:30] Naitou**
*Ni hao.*
**[24:31] Itsuki**
Doesn't that mean "hello"?
**[24:32] Naitou**
Shh! Don't say anything,
and no one will notice!
**[24:34] Maki**
We can't ignore Spanish, either.
**[24:36] Naitou**
*A-Adios*?
**[24:37] Itsuki**
That's "goodbye."
**[24:38] Naitou**
Shhh!

And now, Hindi...

**[00:04] Actor**
You may be asking, "Has the competition
with the Student Council already started?"
**[00:09] Aichi**
Actually, it hasn't.
**[00:11] Aichi**
Let's back up a bit.
**[00:17] Naoki**
We're gonna beat 'em easily!
**[00:20] Shingo**
It won't even be close.
**[00:21] Naitou; Suwabe**
Stand up,
**[00:23] Naitou; Suwabe**
Vanguard!
***SIGN*** Student Council
***SIGN*** Dimension 2
Aichi's the Coach!?
**[02:04] Girl**
What are they up to?
**[02:11] Naitou**
And of all things, why must I
be coached by you, a first-year?
**[02:16] Suwabe**
I'm still surprised that you've
played Vanguard before, Nagashiro.
**[02:20] Maki**
As a member of the Student Council,
**[02:23] Maki**
it's only natural for me to be
well-versed in all club activities.
**[02:28] Naitou**
I ride Lily of the Valley Musketeer, Rebecca.
**[02:31] Naitou**
That was fine, right?
**[02:33] Naitou**
It's your turn.
**[02:34] Maki**
No, not yet.
**[02:37] Maki**
When a player rides upon
Broccolini Musketeer, Kirah,
**[02:40] Maki**
its skill has them draw one card.
**[02:43] Maki**
With Vanguard, you mustn't forget
the importance of each card in your hand.
**[02:50] Naitou**
I call Maiden of Blossom Rain!
**[02:54] Maki**
Don't do that!
**[02:55] Maki**
That unit is a perfect guard,
which is vital for defense.
**[03:00] Maki**
You can't just call it unthinkingly.
**[03:04] Naitou**
Despite me being a genius, I find
your explanations difficult to comprehend.
**[03:08] Naitou**
I give up. Vanguard just doesn't suit me.
**[03:13] Naitou**
Above all else, it isn't global!
**[03:17] Aichi**
It *is* global!
**[03:23] Aichi**
S-Sorry to interrupt!
**[03:25] Naitou**
How is it global? Enlighten me!
**[03:28] Aichi**
S-Sure.
**[03:30] Aichi**
Vanguard is a wonderful global tool
**[03:32] Aichi**
because, if you have a deck,
you can communicate with anyone.
**[03:36] Aichi**
Right, Shingo?
**[03:38] Shingo**
Y-Yes, that's correct!
**[03:40] Shingo**
And apparently Sendou corresponds
with fighters from other countries.
**[03:44] Naitou**
What?! From other countries?!
**[03:46] Naitou**
That *is* global!
**[03:50] Naitou**
However, she's no good as a coach.
**[03:52] Naitou**
Aichi Sendou, Asia champion...
**[03:56] Naitou**
I bestow upon you the privilege
of coaching this globalist!
**[04:04] Aichi**
And that's how I became their teacher.
**[04:08] Suwabe**
We're going to fight, straight away?
**[04:12] Aichi**
You learn better through experience.
**[04:15] Naitou**
Sendou says that, too!
**[04:16] Shingo**
He's essentially helping the enemy.
**[04:20] Misaki**
But it's a very Aichi thing to do.
**[04:23] Aichi**
We'll fight without
using the cards' skills this time.
**[04:27] Aichi**
Too much info at the start can be overwhelming.
**[04:32] Aichi**
First, choose a grade 0 card from your deck
and set it face-down on the board.
**[04:39] Suwabe**
Grade 0...
**[04:43] Aichi**
That card is your First Vanguard.
**[04:47] Suwabe**
My First Vanguard...
**[04:49] Aichi**
Try to imagine it.
**[04:52] Naitou**
Imagine?
**[04:53] Aichi**
Yes.
**[04:59] Naitou**
Wh-Where are we?!
**[05:03] Maki**
It's the planet Cray!
**[05:05] Aichi**
That's right.
**[05:07] Aichi**
Vanguard fights take place on this planet.
**[05:11] Aichi**
We've just landed on
the planet Cray as astral bodies.
**[05:17] Aichi**
As we reveal our First Vanguards,
**[05:19] Aichi**
we "Ride" them, thereby becoming our Vanguards.
**[05:22] Aichi**
Then we command the units we "Called,"
and that's how the fight begins.
**[05:28] Aichi; Suwabe**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[05:32] Aichi**
I ride!
**[05:35] Aichi**
Glyme!
**[05:40] Suwabe**
I, uh, ride!
**[05:42] Suwabe**
Machining Worker Ant!
**[05:46] Aichi**
I go first.
**[05:48] Aichi**
I begin by drawing one card from my deck.
**[05:51] Aichi**
And then, at the start of my turn,
I can promote my Vanguard by one grade.
**[05:58] Aichi**
I ride!
**[06:00] Aichi**
Grade 1.
**[06:02] Aichi**
Knight Squire, Allen!
**[06:06] Aichi**
Furthermore, I can call units of
the same grade as my Vanguard or less
**[06:10] Aichi**
to these five spots.
**[06:13] Aichi**
I call a rear-guard!
**[06:17] Aichi**
Grade 1. Pongal!
**[06:22] Naitou**
Here he comes!
**[06:24] Aichi**
Now I'd attack!
**[06:25] Aichi**
Except the one who goes first
can't attack on the first turn.
**[06:30] Aichi**
My turn is over.
Now it's your turn, Vice-President.
**[06:33] Suwabe**
O-Okay.
**[06:36] Suwabe**
Draw!
**[06:40] Suwabe**
I ride!
**[06:44] Suwabe**
Grade 1. Machining Hornet!
**[06:49] Suwabe**
I call a rear-guard!
**[06:55] Naitou**
Good! Now, attack!
**[06:56] Suwabe**
Right.
**[06:58] Suwabe**
My Vanguard attacks your Vanguard!
**[07:01] Aichi**
When the Vanguard of an
attacking side attacks a Vanguard,
**[07:04] Aichi**
a trigger check occurs.
**[07:06] Aichi**
This is when you say, "Drive check."
**[07:08] Naitou**
"Drive check"?
**[07:11] Aichi**
You turn over one card from your deck,
and if that card has a trigger icon,
**[07:15] Aichi**
you can "trigger" the effect
indicated by that icon.
**[07:19] Aichi**
Try turning over a card.
**[07:21] Suwave**
D-Drive check.
**[07:26] Maki**
A critical trigger!
**[07:28] Naitou**
"Critical trigger"?
**[07:30] Aichi**
It's a trigger that increases
the damage to your opponent by one.
**[07:36] Aichi**
So I took 2 damage.
**[07:39] Aichi**
Now I do a damage check.
**[07:40] Suwabe**
"Damage check"?
**[07:42] Aichi**
When an attack hits you,
**[07:44] Aichi**
you do a check for each point of damage taken.
**[07:48] Aichi**
First check.
**[07:49] Aichi**
No trigger.
**[07:51] Aichi**
Second check.
**[07:53] Aichi**
No trigger here, either.
**[07:56] Aichi**
If a fighter accumulates six cards
in their Damage Zone like this, they lose.
**[08:03] Maki**
Vice-President, you can attack again.
**[08:07] Suwabe**
Hornet attacks your Vanguard!
**[08:11] Aichi**
Damage check!
**[08:15] Naitou**
So now you have 3 damage?
**[08:18] Suwabe**
My turn is over, right?
**[08:20] Aichi**
Yes.
**[08:22] Aichi**
It's my turn!
**[08:23] Aichi**
Stand and draw!
**[08:25] Aichi**
I ride!
**[08:28] Aichi**
Stand up, my avatar!
**[08:31] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[08:35] Aichi**
I move Pongal to the back row and call!
**[08:40] Aichi**
Grade 2. Knight of Silence, Gallatin!
**[08:44] Aichi**
Grade 0 and grade 1 units like Pongal
have an ability called "Boost."
**[08:50] Naitou**
"Boost"?
**[08:52] Aichi**
It's when a unit in the back row adds power
to the unit in the front row during an attack.
**[08:57] Aichi**
With a boost from Pongal,
Gallatin attacks your Vanguard!
**[09:03] Naitou**
So with Pongal's 8000,
**[09:05] Naitou**
Gallatin now has 18,000 power?
**[09:08] Suwabe**
Wh-What should I do?
**[09:10] Aichi**
Do you have any cards
in your hand that say "Shield"?
**[09:13] Suwabe**
Where?
**[09:15] Maki**
Here.
***SIGN*** Shield
**[09:17] Suwabe**
It does have that...
**[09:19] Aichi**
It means that you can block the attack
by calling that unit as a guardian.
**[09:24] Naitou**
O-Okay, try it!
**[09:26] Suwabe**
Right.
**[09:27] Suwabe**
I call!
**[09:29] Suwabe**
Shelter Beetle!
**[09:32] Aichi**
With the added 15,000 shield,
**[09:34] Aichi**
Hornet now has 23,000 power.
**[09:37] Naitou**
And that number surpasses yours.
**[09:39] Naitou**
Now I see!
**[09:41] Aichi**
Cards that are called as guardians...
**[09:43] Suwabe**
Th-Thank you.
**[09:45] Beetle**
No problem.
**[09:47] Aichi**
...retire once their duty is done.
**[09:49] Aichi**
Please place it in the Drop Zone.
**[09:52] Suwabe**
Here, right?
**[09:53] Naitou**
Now, Vice-President! Counterattack!
**[09:55] Aichi**
But I can still make an attack.
**[09:59] Naitou**
Then do it already!
**[10:01] Aichi**
Sorry.
**[10:03] Aichi**
My Vanguard attacks your Vanguard.
**[10:07] Naitou**
Vice-President, use this one!
**[10:09] Suwabe**
M-Machining Mantis guards!
**[10:12] Naitou**
That gives you 13,000.
**[10:15] Naitou**
That means Blaster Blade's
10,000-power attack won't get through!
**[10:18] Aichi**
Are you sure?
**[10:20] Aichi**
Drive check!
**[10:22] Naitou**
A critical trigger?!
**[10:24] Aichi**
Triggers also have the effect
of adding 10,000 power to a unit.
**[10:29] Naitou**
In other words, Blaster Blade
now has 2 criticals *and* 20,000 power?!
**[10:41] Suwabe**
Damage check, right?
**[10:43] Aichi**
That's right.
**[10:45] Suwabe**
First check.
**[10:49] Suwabe**
Second check!
**[10:53] Naitou**
That makes 2 damage for us...
**[10:56] Aichi**
Now it's your turn, Vice-President.
**[10:59] Suwabe**
O-Okay.
**[11:00] Suwabe**
I ride!
**[11:04] Suwabe**
Grade 2. Machining Mantis!
**[11:08] Suwabe**
Hornet moves to the back row,
**[11:10] Suwabe**
and I call another Mantis to the front row.
**[11:13] Suwabe**
Furthermore, I call a Hornet to the back row.
**[11:20] Naitou**
Good! Now, counterattack!
**[11:22] Suwabe**
With a boost from Hornet,
my Vanguard attacks your Vanguard!
**[11:27] Aichi**
No guard!
**[11:28] Suwabe**
Drive check!
**[11:30] Naitou**
Good! A critical trigger!
**[11:33] Suwabe**
But I already have enough power. What a waste.
**[11:36] Aichi**
In this situation, you can give
the trigger's effects to different units.
**[11:42] Suwabe**
Then...
**[11:43] Suwabe**
...I give the critical to my Vanguard,
**[11:45] Suwabe**
and the power to my other Mantis.
**[11:49] Aichi**
Damage check!
**[11:51] Aichi**
First check!
**[11:53] Aichi**
Second check!
**[11:56] Suwabe**
A critical trigger!
**[11:57] Naitou**
That's nothing to worry about.
**[11:59] Naitou**
You're the one doing the attacking!
**[12:02] Maki**
Precisely.
**[12:04] Aichi**
I give the power to Blaster Blade.
**[12:06] Maki**
With that, Blaster Blade now has 20,000 power.
**[12:09] Naitou**
What?!
**[12:11] Suwabe**
But this Mantis also has
the power from a critical.
**[12:14] Suwabe**
With a boost from Hornet,
the total will be 27,000.
**[12:18] Naitou**
Good! Now, attack!
**[12:20] Suwabe**
Right!
**[12:21] Aichi**
Please, Gallatin!
**[12:24] Gallatin**
No problem.
**[12:25] Aichi**
"Intercept."
**[12:27] Aichi**
Only grade 2 units have this ability.
**[12:30] Aichi**
It means they can guard from the front row.
**[12:33] Naitou**
Y-You should have mentioned that earlier!
**[12:36] Suwabe**
But President...
**[12:38] Suwabe**
Sendou already has 5 damage.
**[12:41] Naitou**
What?!
**[12:42] Naitou**
Good! Now, finish him off!
**[12:44] Suwabe**
But I don't have
any other units that can attack.
**[12:49] Naitou**
I meant on the next turn!
**[12:55] Shingo**
Will Sendou be all right?
**[12:58] Naoki**
Of course he'll be all right!
**[13:14] Aichi**
I ride!
**[13:19] Aichi**
Grade 3. Monarch Sanctuary Alfred!
**[13:25] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift, Force!
**[13:31] Naitou**
"Imaginary Gift"?
**[13:33] Aichi**
As part of the power I gain when
my Vanguard is promoted to grade 3,
**[13:37] Aichi**
the Force that I selected gives
+10,000 power to the unit in this circle.
**[13:43] Naitou**
Then that Monarch's power is 23,000?!
**[13:47] Aichi**
Yes.
**[13:48] Aichi**
And then I call Gallatin!
**[13:51] Aichi**
My Vanguard attacks your Vanguard!
**[13:53] Naitou**
Okay, we'll guard with this!
**[13:54] Suwabe**
Wait!
**[13:55] Suwabe**
If Sendou gets a trigger,
using this would be a waste.
**[13:59] Suwabe**
No guard!
**[14:04] Aichi**
Twin drive!
**[14:05] Naitou**
"Twin drive"?
**[14:07] Aichi**
Yes.
***SIGN*** Twin Drive
**[14:08] Aichi**
A grade 3 can do two drive checks.
**[14:12] Aichi**
First check!
**[14:14] Aichi**
Second check!
**[14:17] Maki**
A heal trigger!
**[14:19] Aichi**
I give the power to Gallatin.
**[14:21] Aichi**
And then...
**[14:22] Aichi**
...with a heal trigger, if your damage
is the same or greater than your opponent's,
**[14:26] Aichi**
you can heal 1 damage point.
**[14:29] Naitou**
So you went back to 4 damage...
**[14:35] Suwabe**
Damage check!
**[14:38] Maki**
A draw trigger!
**[14:40] Maki**
You can draw one card from your deck.
**[14:44] Suwabe**
Then I'll give the power to my Vanguard.
**[14:47] Aichi**
With a boost from Pongal, Gallatin attacks!
**[14:51] Suwabe**
Shelter Beetle guards!
**[14:54] Aichi**
Now you're getting it.
**[14:57] Suwabe**
Stand and draw!
**[15:02] Suwabe**
What's this fancy shield?
**[15:05] Naitou**
That's...! You told me
about it at school, Nagashiro...
**[15:09] Naitou**
What was it, again?
**[15:11] Naitou**
Ah! An absolute guard!
**[15:14] Maki**
That's "perfect guard."
**[15:16] Maki**
It can block your opponent's attack,
no matter what their total is.
**[15:20] Naitou**
It's amazing.
**[15:23] Suwabe**
I... I ride!
**[15:27] Suwabe**
Grade 3. Machining Stag Beetle!
**[15:32] Suwabe**
Imaginary Gift. Right?
**[15:35] Suwabe**
Imaginary Gift, Protect II!
**[15:42] Suwabe**
With this, Mantis gets
+5000 power and +10,000 shield.
**[15:47] Naoki**
"II"? Did Protect always work like that?
**[15:50] Maki**
Each clan has two kinds of Imaginary Gifts.
**[15:55] Maki**
Don't tell me you didn't know that.
**[15:59] Shingo**
Ishida is more or less a beginner.
**[16:02] Naoki**
Say what?!
**[16:03] Naitou**
I have a proposal!
**[16:05] Naitou**
From this point on,
why don't we use the cards' skills, too?
**[16:10] Misaki**
That jerk, suggesting that now!
**[16:13] Shin**
Now, now, Misaki.
**[16:15] Shin**
Won't this just make it more interesting?
**[16:17] Naitou**
Of course, you may use skills as well.
**[16:23] Naitou**
Good! Now go, Vice-President!
**[16:25] Suwabe**
R-Right!
**[16:26] Suwabe**
Stag Beetle's skill activates!
**[16:29] Shingo**
Stag Beetle can call up to
two cards from the Soul, which stay at rest.
**[16:33] Naoki**
Nothin' to worry about, then.
**[16:35] Shingo**
On the contrary. Those called units
also add their power to Stag Beetle's.
**[16:40] Naoki**
What?!
**[16:42] Suwabe**
I call Machining Mantis and
Machining Hornet from the Soul!
**[16:47] Naitou**
With that, Stag Beetle has 29,000 power!
**[16:50] Suwabe**
Next, with a boost from Hornet,
I attack your Vanguard!
**[16:54] Naitou**
Take that 37,000-power attack!
**[17:01] Naitou**
We can beat him!
We're going to beat the Asia champion!
**[17:05] Aichi**
I guard!
**[17:06] Aichi**
Bringer of Good Luck, Epona!
Yggdrasil Maiden, Elaine!
**[17:11] Naitou**
The total is 48,000?!
**[17:14] Maki**
Vice-President, you still have a twin drive!
**[17:17] Suwabe**
Oh, that's right.
**[17:20] Suwabe**
First check!
**[17:22] Suwabe**
Second check!
**[17:24] Suwabe**
Critical trigger!
**[17:26] Suwabe**
I give all of the effects
to my left-side Mantis!
**[17:29] Naitou**
Finish him off with that!
**[17:32] Suwabe**
It attacks your Vanguard!
**[17:38] Aichi**
Thank you!
**[17:39] Elaine**
No problem.
**[17:42] Naitou**
N-Not again...
**[17:47] Aichi**
It's my turn.
**[17:51] Aichi**
Once more, I ride Monarch Sanctuary Alfred!
**[17:55] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift, Force I!
**[18:00] Aichi**
I can use skills too, right?
**[18:03] Naitou**
N-Naturally. Use them or lose them.
**[18:07] Aichi**
Then I will.
**[18:09] Aichi**
Monarch's skill activates!
**[18:12] Aichi**
Blaster Blade moves from
the Drop Zone to my hand.
**[18:15] Maki**
With that, Monarch has
38,000 power and two criticals!
**[18:20] Naitou; Suwabe**
Wha...?!
**[18:21] Aichi**
I call!
**[18:22] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[18:30] Maki**
And Blaster Blade also gets +10,000 power!
**[18:34] Naitou; Suwabe**
Wha...?!
**[18:35] Aichi**
Blaster Blade's skill activates!
**[18:42] Maki**
That unit is retired.
**[18:45] Aichi**
Gallatin attacks your other Mantis
with a boost from Pongal!
**[18:50] Suwabe**
N-No guard.
**[18:54] Aichi**
My Vanguard attacks your Vanguard!
**[19:02] Naitou**
Vice-President! Use an absolute guard!
**[19:04] Maki**
That's "perfect guard."
**[19:06] Suwabe**
Paralyze Madonna!
**[19:08] Naitou**
W-We managed to survive that...
**[19:11] Aichi**
Twin drive!
**[19:13] Aichi**
First check!
**[19:15] Maki**
A critical trigger!
**[19:17] Aichi**
I give all of the effects to Blaster Blade.
**[19:19] Aichi**
Second check!
**[19:21] Suwabe**
A critical trigger?!
**[19:23] Naitou**
Then...
**[19:25] Maki**
Blaster Blade has 3 criticals.
**[19:28] Suwabe**
3 criticals?!
**[19:30] Aichi**
Blaster Blade attacks your Vanguard!
**[19:33] Suwabe**
N-No guard.
**[19:47] Suwabe**
First check!
**[19:52] Naitou**
A heal trigger! We heal 1 damage point!
**[19:54] Maki**
No, we don't!
**[19:55] Maki**
Sendou has more damage than
the vice-president, so it won't work!
**[20:03] Suwabe**
Second check!
**[20:10] Suwabe**
Third check...
**[20:18] Maki**
6 damage...
**[20:21] Suwabe**
I lost.
**[20:25] Naitou**
Our first time against the Asia champion,
and we made it this far...
**[20:30] Naitou**
It's as though we won, really.
**[20:33] Naitou**
My global talent is scary!
**[20:40] Aichi**
Thank you for the game.
**[20:42] Eru**
I was watching.
**[20:46] Aichi**
It's you!
**[20:48] Eru**
My name is Eru. Eru Nakagami.
**[20:51] Eru**
Also known as God-Hand Eru!
**[20:54] Eru**
Aichi Sendou, you'll be a worthy opponent
for me to unleash my power upon.
**[21:00] Aichi**
But I'm not participating in the competition.
**[21:06] Eru**
Consider yourself blessed that
you need not face this destructive force!
**[21:10] Eru**
But I *will* attain the promised land!
**[21:14] Eru**
Just don't forget that.
**[21:16] Eru**
Farewell.
**[21:20] Misaki**
How long was he here, watching?
**[21:27] Aichi**
I'm looking forward to the competition!
**[21:29] Naoki**
Sheesh, that Aichi...
**[21:32] Shingo**
But he really does look happy.
**[21:34] Misaki**
New Vanguard fighters
are worth being happy about.
**[21:40] Maki**
I believe you understand the rules now.
**[21:41] Naitou**
And who do you think you're talking to?
**[21:44] Suwabe**
President, do you have a secret plan?
**[21:46] Naitou**
Of course. I'm a genius.
**[21:49] Naitou**
"Feel as though you're riding a big ship!"
**[21:53] Maki**
That idiom doesn't really
translate well literally.
**[21:57] Maki**
It would have been better if
you'd said, "You're in good hands."
**[22:00] Naitou**
You could say that, too!
**[22:03] Suwabe**
You certainly are a genius, President.
**[22:05] Naitou**
You can say that again!
**[22:07] Maki**
I just hope his "big ship" isn't the *Titanic.*
**[22:11] Naitou**
Ride the big ship!
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card is
Megacolony's fearsome weapon,
**[23:52] Narrator**
Machining Stag Beetle!
***SIGN*** Machining Stag Beetle
**[23:54] Narrator**
When it's placed, you can call two units
from the Soul as resting rear-guards.
**[23:58] Narrator**
Then those two called
rear-guard units increase its power.
**[24:01] Narrator**
While increasing both its own power
and the number of rear-guards,
**[24:04] Narrator**
it also gains an Imaginary Gift: Protect.
**[24:07] Narrator**
Easy to use, this unit provides a
superior balance of offense and defense.
**[24:10] Narrator**
You too should use
this card to "Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Shin**
We're closed already.
**[24:17] Shin**
Huh? The Student Council president...
**[24:19] Naitou**
Manager, would you put together
a Great Nature deck for me?
**[24:22] Shin**
Again? Why?
**[24:23] Naitou**
Great Nature is the planet Cray's highest
institute of education, where geniuses gather!
**[24:28] Shin**
Y-Yes...
**[24:29] Shin**
But they're animals...
**[24:30] Naitou**
They're a global clan,
perfect for a genius like me!
**[24:33] Naitou**
With them, my victory
in the competition is assured!
**[24:36] Shin**
Understood.
**[24:37] Shin**
I'll build your deck with all my know-how!

**[00:00] Naitou**
The Cardfight Club has been disbanded.
**[00:02] Naitou**
I'm not going to change my mind.
**[00:04] Naitou**
Now leave.
**[00:06] Misaki**
If our club is forced to disband,
**[00:08] Misaki**
it will damage your career, President.
**[00:11] Naitou**
What do you mean by that?
**[00:12] Misaki**
This application.
**[00:14] Naitou**
A deficient application is worth nothing.

...I can't approve the continued existence
of a club that lacks enough members!
**[00:28] Naitou**
That would be even more damaging to my career.
**[00:31] Misaki**
Then let's have a showdown.
**[00:34] Misaki**
A competition between the
Student Council and the Cardfight Club.
**[00:37] Misaki**
If we win,
**[00:39] Misaki**
you all have to join our club.
**[00:56] Aichi**
And now, let the competition between the
Cardfight Club and the Student Council begin!
**[01:02] Naitou**
If you lose, your club will be disbanded
immediately. Are you prepared for that?
**[01:07] Eru**
To attain the promised land,
**[01:10] Eru**
I shall fight with all my might.
**[01:14] Aichi**
Good luck, everyone!
**[01:16] Misaki**
I can't believe we agreed to fight
in a competition without Aichi.
**[01:20] Naoki**
If we lose to these amateurs, the new name
of the Cardfight Club's gonna be "mud."
**[01:25] Naoki**
So let's show 'em we're outta their league.
**[01:27] Shingo**
Right! This is also so that we can
participate in the Vanguard Koshien!
**[01:31] The Three**
We'll win at any cost!
**[01:33] Naitou**
The Vanguard Koshien? In a pig's eye!
**[01:37] Naitou**
This global and genius-level deck
fine-tuned to yours truly, Tatewaki Naitou,
**[01:42] Naitou**
will crush every one of your ambitions!
**[01:46] Aichi**
It's the first round.
Starting players, please step forward.
**[01:50] Naoki**
All right, I'll go.
**[01:52] Naitou**
Excellent. Then I shall be your--
**[01:54] Maki**
I'll go!
**[01:55] Naitou**
N-Nagashiro...
**[01:58] Maki**
We'll save our trump card until the end.
**[02:01] Maki**
Please leave this fight to me.
**[02:04] Naitou**
I'm the trump card?
**[02:06] Naitou**
V-Very well, then.
**[02:11] Maki**
In order to preserve order at this academy,
**[02:13] Maki**
I'm going to do everything
in my power to annihilate you.
**[02:17] Maki**
Please be ready for that, Naoki Ishida.
**[02:22] Naoki**
I'm down with it.
**[02:24] Naoki**
But you'll be sorry later, Secretary!
**[02:28] Aichi**
For us, today is a day like any other.
**[02:32] Aichi**
We know we lost something precious.
**[02:36] Aichi**
Will we ever be able to connect again,
despite that interrupted fate?

Here I come!
**[04:23] Irminsul**
You should pay more attention.
**[04:27] Naoki**
What?!
**[04:30] Maki**
With a boost from Fruits Basket Elf,
**[04:32] Maki**
Kaivant attacks!
**[04:34] Naoki**
I guard!
**[04:35] Naoki**
I'm countin' on you, Yellow Gem Carbuncle

**[04:44] Shingo**
Ishida volunteered to do this,
yet he's already on the ropes!

That Maki girl...

Indeed.
**[04:57] Naitou**
She's a superior student who graduated
first in her class from middle school,
**[05:02] Naitou**
so I scouted her out right away.
**[05:05] Aichi**
So that's why she's a member of
the Student Council, even as a first-year...
**[05:09] Naoki**
No matter how good her grades are,
it don't mean she's any good at Vanguard!
**[05:15] Naoki**
I ride!
**[05:17] Naoki**
Detonix Stinger Dragon!

Imaginary Gift, Accel II!
**[05:24] Aichi**
That's...
**[05:25] Misaki**
The other Accel, the one that increases
your hand and raises your power!
**[05:29] Shingo**
Ishida sure picked that up quickly!
**[05:31] Naoki**
Stinger's skill activates!
**[05:34] Naoki**
I bind Kaivant!
**[05:40] Naoki**
I call Hammerknuckle Dragon!
**[05:44] Naoki**
Counterblast!
**[05:46] Naoki**
I bind Spiritual Tree Sage, Irminsul!
**[05:50] Shingo**
He eliminated the front row!
**[05:52] Aichi**
Now she can't intercept!
**[05:54] Naoki**
I call!
**[05:56] Naoki**
Go, Thunderstorm Dragoon!
**[06:01] Maki**
Thank you, Irminsul!
**[06:06] Naoki**
I ain't done yet!
**[06:07] Maki**
Watering Elf guards!
**[06:10] Naoki**
Twin drive!
**[06:11] Naoki**
First check.
**[06:12] Naoki**
Second check!
**[06:15] Aichi**
A critical trigger!
**[06:16] Naoki**
I give all of the effects
to Hammerknuckle Dragon!
**[06:24] Naoki**
With a boost from Photon Bomber Wyvern,
**[06:27] Naoki**
Thunderstorm Dragoon attacks your Vanguard!
**[06:30] Maki**
No guard!
**[06:35] Misaki**
The power is 29,000.
**[06:37] Maki**
No guard.
**[06:38] Maki**
Damage check!
**[06:45] Shingo**
That makes 4 damage!
**[06:47] Naitou**
What are you doing, Nagashiro?!
**[06:49] Suwabe**
This is a team competition.
**[06:51] Suwabe**
If you lose here, it's all over for us.
**[06:54] Maki**
Would you please be quiet?
**[06:56] Maki**
You're distracting me.
**[06:57] Suwabe/Naitou**
O-Okay.
**[07:00] Maki**
Here I go!
**[07:01] Maki**
I ride!

**[07:15] Maki**
Put forth your buds, my green soldiers!
**[07:19] Maki**
Now, sleep within my flowers' embrace!
**[07:23] Naoki**
Wait a sec!
**[07:24] Naoki**
You ain't really an amateur, are ya?
**[07:27] Naoki**
I can tell you're used to playin'!
**[07:29] Naoki**
It ain't just your own hand.
**[07:31] Naoki**
You've even got a perfect grasp
of how *my* units work!
**[07:34] Aichi**
Oh, true...
**[07:35] Naoki**
When'd you start playin' Vanguard?!
**[07:38] Maki**
Th-That has nothing to do with you!
**[07:41] Maki**
With a boost from Plant Token,
**[07:43] Maki**
Kaivant attacks your Vanguard!
**[07:50] Naoki**
Nothin' to do with me?!
**[07:53] Naoki**
Nah, it's got plenty to do with me!
**[08:00] Naoki**
You're in love, right?
**[08:03] Naoki**
Then come and play with us!
**[08:09] Maki**
You have no right to say that!
**[08:12] Maki**
You have no idea!
**[08:16] Maki**
You have no idea...
why I started playing Vanguard.
**[08:23] Maki**
What are you doing there?
**[08:26] Maki**
Class has already begun.
**[08:28] Naoki**
So annoying...
**[08:32] Naoki**
Move it.
**[08:37] Maki**
Ishida obviously didn't fit in at the academy.
**[08:43] Maki**
I thought he didn't have
even one friend here...
**[08:48] Naoki**
Aichi!
**[08:50] Aichi**
Want to go today, too?
**[08:51] Naoki**
You bet! It's fun playin' Vanguard
against people new to me!
**[08:55] Aichi**
Yeah, I know!
**[08:57] Maki**
"Vanguard"?
**[09:02] Maki**
Is this what helped Ishida to change?
**[09:08] Maki**
I'm simply fighting
to maintain order at this academy!
**[09:13] Maki**
That's my duty as a Student Council member!
**[09:18] Maki**
With a boost from Plant Token,
**[09:20] Maki**
Trailing Rose attacks your Vanguard!
**[09:24] Naoki**
No guard!
**[09:25] Maki**
Twin drive!
**[09:27] Maki**
First check!
**[09:28] Maki**
Second check!
**[09:30] Maki**
Critical trigger!
**[09:31] Maki**
I give the power to my front-row Plant Token,
**[09:34] Maki**
and the extra critical to Trailing Rose!
**[09:41] Aichi**
Knowing Naoki, it isn't over yet.
**[09:44] Naoki**
Damage check!
**[09:48] Maki**
A heal trigger?!
**[09:49] Naoki**
Sorry, Secretary.
**[09:54] Maki**
My turn isn't over yet!
**[09:56] Maki**
Go, my flowers!
**[10:00] Naoki**
Riki, I need you!
**[10:03] Maki**
My turn is over.
**[10:05] Shingo**
He held on!
**[10:07] Naoki**
Sheesh.
**[10:08] Naoki**
This's why I can't quit Vanguard.
**[10:12] Naoki**
There's so many good players I ain't met yet!
**[10:16] Naoki**
It's my turn!
**[10:18] Naoki**

**[10:31] Stinger**

**[10:37] Naoki**
Here comes the clincher!
**[10:53] Maki**
I lost.
**[10:55] Shingo**
You did it!
**[10:58] Naoki**
I take back what I said!
**[11:02] Naoki**
Sorry I called you an amateur.
**[11:05] Naoki**
Let's play again sometime, Secretary.
**[11:10] Maki**
M-My name is...
**[11:15] Maki**
...Maki Nagashiro.
**[11:20] Suwabe**
Wh-Wh-What do we do?!
**[11:22] Suwabe**
We're in a tight spot now!
**[11:24] Naitou**
There's no choice.
**[11:25] Naitou**
I, the trump card, will--
**[11:29] Eru**
I see...
**[11:30] Eru**
Your craving for prey is that strong?
**[11:32] Eru**
Very well!
**[11:33] Eru**
Then I shall go next!
**[11:36] Naitou**
Hey! You don't get to decide that!
**[11:40] Eru**
I am Eru Nakagami, the leader of
the Psychic Research Society.
**[11:45] Eru**
My alternate name is Almighty Eru!
**[11:47] Eru**
With my cosmic power,
I shall consign you all to oblivion!
**[11:50] Shingo**
In that case...
**[11:51] Shingo**
...please leave this to me!
**[11:54] Shingo**
I'll go up against him!
**[12:07] Eru**
Go, my servant of darkness!
**[12:13] Eru**
Mangle his very soul!
**[12:23] Misaki**
That makes 4 damage!
**[12:25] Aichi**
Shingo, calm down!
**[12:27] Naoki**
Since he lost to him once,
**[12:29] Naoki**
Shingo might have
this weird idea that he ain't up to it.
**[12:34] Eru**
Have you seen this?
Residing within my right arm...
**[12:38] Eru**
...is the power of a god!
**[12:42] Naoki**
Wh-What the heck's that?!
**[12:44] Misaki**
Could it be...
**[12:46] Aichi**
Misaki?
**[12:48] Misaki**
...the seal that locked away Apollyon,
dragon god of disasters,
**[12:52] Misaki**
in volume four of *Darkness Summoner*?
**[12:55] Misaki**
No, wait...
**[12:56] Misaki**
Is it the crest of
the Demon King that appears in
**[12:58] Misaki**
*So What If My Wife is
a Dark Elf From Another World*?!
**[13:03] Misaki**
Hold on.
**[13:04] Misaki**
It could be the seal of the Gotham clan that
appears in chapter 134 of *Galaxy Hero Mission*!
**[13:10] Misaki**
But still, those all bear
a slight difference from this one...
**[13:16] Naoki**
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
**[13:18] Aichi**
Misaki, are you talking about light novels?
**[13:24] Eru**
It seems you have the wrong idea, little girl.
**[13:28] Misaki**
What?
**[13:29] Eru**
This wasn't inspired by any outside source.
**[13:31] Eru**
It's my own original design!
***SIGN*** I came up with it all by myself.
**[13:34] Misaki**
Wh-What?!
**[13:38] Aichi**
Um, Misaki...?
**[13:40] Misaki**
I believe that he didn't
recognize what I was talking about,
**[13:43] Misaki**
but I don't recognize
what *he* was talking about, either.
**[13:46] Misaki**
That is no cheap imitation or ripoff.
**[13:50] Misaki**
H-He must be...
**[13:52] Misaki**
...the real thing!
***SIGN*** The Real Thing
**[13:58] Shingo/Aichi**
Th-The real thing?!
**[14:00] Naoki**
Don't he gotta take entrance exams this year?
**[14:02] Maki**
That will likely be difficult,
in more ways than one.
**[14:05] Naitou**
I agree...
**[14:07] Suwabe**
Indeed.
**[14:08] Eru**
Nonsense!
**[14:09] Eru**
I have obtained the power of the God Hand,
the power of destruction and creation!
**[14:14] Eru**
There is nothing that I fear!
**[14:17] Naoki**
Don't let him spook you, Shingo!
Turn the tables on 'im!
**[14:21] Shingo**
R-Right, I'll do that!
**[14:24] Shingo**
I ride!
**[14:30] Shingo**
Behold the fury of a meteor downpour!
**[14:33] Shingo**
Covert Demonic Dragon, Magatsu Storm!
**[14:36] Shingo**
Imaginary Gift, Protect I!
**[14:40] Naoki**
So Shingo went with Protect I.
**[14:43] Misaki**
Since he doesn't know
what his opponent will do,
**[14:46] Misaki**
it's not a bad idea to play it safe.
**[14:49] Shingo**
Join me, Magatsu Gale!
Chigasumi! Sakurafubuki!
**[14:53] Shingo**
Here I go!
**[15:01] Naoki**
All right!
**[15:02] Misaki**
Now they're tied!
**[15:04] Eru**
Good one.
**[15:06] Eru**
But now I'll reveal...
**[15:08] Eru**
...my other secret power!
**[15:11] Misaki**
Th-That's...
**[15:14] Eru**
The eye of a deity that
sees through all things. God Eye!
**[15:19] Maki**
So it appears.
**[15:20] Naoki**
Yeah, but he must've drawn that on himself!
**[15:26] Eru**
I ride!
**[15:29] Eru**
Extol my virtues,
**[15:32] Eru**
O spirit king who rules over the five elements!
**[15:35] Aichi**
That's...
**[15:37] Misaki**
Master of Fifth Element!
**[15:40] Eru**
Bestow the power of the heavens upon me!
**[15:44] Naoki**
A Protect II...
**[15:47] Eru**
My power will continue to accelerate.
**[15:53] Eru**
Until eventually,
**[15:54] Eru**
it will blow past the speed of light!
**[15:57] Eru**
Then I will become the universe itself!
**[16:02] Maki**
Gwynn got Protect II, so that's
+5000 power and +10,000 shield!
**[16:09] Eru**
I'll put you out of your misery now!
**[16:12] Shingo**
Chigasumi!
**[16:15] Misaki**
Oh no!
**[16:16] Naoki**
Gwynn's skill took out Shingo's defense!
**[16:19] Eru**
Watch this!
**[16:23] Eru**
Yield before the laws of the universe!
**[16:33] Shingo**
I somehow managed to pull through...
**[16:36] Eru**
Are you thinking that
you managed to pull through?
**[16:40] Shingo**
Did he just read my mind?
**[16:43] Shingo**
Don't tell me he really *is* psychic?!
**[16:47] Misaki**
This is bad.
**[16:48] Naoki**
How so?
**[16:49] Misaki**
When Fifth Element attacks,
**[16:52] Misaki**
if his Soul has 15 or more cards,
**[16:54] Misaki**
and he then puts all of the cards
from his hand and Soul into the Drop Zone,
**[16:58] Misaki**
he can superior stand all of his units.
**[17:01] Naoki**
What?!
**[17:13] Eru**
Come forth, power of destruction and creation!
**[17:17] Shingo**
No guard here!
**[17:19] Misaki**
If he pulls a trigger, we lose!
**[17:21] Aichi**
Shingo!
**[17:22] Eru**
First judgment!
**[17:25] Eru**
Second judgment!
**[17:27] Naoki**
Whew! We're saved!
**[17:29] Shingo**
Damage check!
**[17:31] Shingo**
No trigger!
**[17:33] Eru**
Receive the baptism of the universe!
**[17:35] Eru**
Enhanced Strength!
**[17:46] Misaki**
That makes 5 damage!
**[17:48] Naoki**
He's already backed into a corner!
**[17:52] Naoki**
And that guy's got three attacks left!
**[17:56] Eru**
Receive the baptism of the universe once more!
**[17:59] Shingo**
Magatsu Breath!
**[18:02] Eru**
How much more can you endure?
**[18:07] Shingo**
All I have is Protect.
**[18:13] Shingo**
But in this situation,
which one should I discard?
**[18:17] Aichi**
Shingo!
**[18:18] Aichi**
It's okay!
**[18:20] Aichi**
If you fight using your own style,
I'm sure that you'll win!
**[18:25] Shingo**
My own fighting style?
**[18:33] Shingo**
That's right.
This isn't a psychic battle.
**[18:36] Shingo**
It's a Vanguard fight!
**[18:38] Shingo**
If I understand my opponent's actions,
I'm certain to win!
**[18:43] Eru**
Very well! Tremble in anticipation!
**[18:46] Eru**
First judgment!
**[18:49] Naoki**
A critical trigger!
**[18:51] Eru**
Gwynn, receive the power of the universe!
**[18:53] Eru**
Second judgment!
**[18:58] Eru**
It's not over yet!
**[19:00] Zashikihime**
I'll protect you!
**[19:03] Shingo**
Thank you very much!
**[19:07] Eru**
H-Have the laws of the universe gone haywire?!
**[19:11] Maki**
Amazing!
**[19:13] Suwabe**
He was able to block that fierce attack?
**[19:15] Aichi**
Now it's Shingo's turn!
**[19:23] Shingo**
I ride!
**[19:25] Shingo**
Magatsu Storm!
**[19:27] Shingo**
Imaginary Gift, Protect I!
**[19:32] Naitou**
Will he be okay?
**[19:34] Maki**
With the Protect II, his Gwynn the Ripper
has a 15,000 shield and can intercept.
**[19:40] Maki**
His opponent shouldn't be able
to break through so easily.
**[19:44] Shingo**
We'll see about that.
**[19:45] Eru**
What?!
**[19:48] Shingo**
Universe, gods, whatever!
**[19:50] Shingo**
You may have deceived me with your words,
**[19:53] Shingo**
but my eyes are now fully opened!
**[19:56] Eru**
Have his powers awakened?!
**[19:59] Shingo**
I call Stealth Dragon, Voidmaster!
**[20:02] Shingo**
+3000 power!
**[20:04] Shingo**
And now, because of Voidmaster's skill,
**[20:06] Shingo**
you can't intercept!
**[20:09] Eru**
Wh-What?!
**[20:11] Shingo**
Voidmaster attacks your Vanguard!
**[20:15] Eru**
Protect me, my servants!
**[20:18] Shingo**
Go for it!
**[20:19] Sakurafubuki**
No problem!
**[20:21] Eru**
I accept my destiny!
**[20:24] Shingo**
Twin drive!
**[20:25] Shingo**
First check!
**[20:26] Shingo**
Second check!
**[20:29] Naoki**
Yeah!
**[20:30] Shingo**
I got a critical!
**[20:32] Shingo**
I give the power to Voidmaster
and the extra critical to Magatsu Storm!
**[20:36] Eru**
Final judgment...
**[20:52] Eru**
I see now.
**[20:53] Eru**
You were also a descendant of the chosen.
**[20:58] Eru**
I lose.
**[20:59] Misaki**
That's two wins in a row!
**[21:01] Aichi**
You did it, Shingo!
**[21:03] Naoki**
The Cardfight Club wins!
**[21:05] Suwabe**
I... don't know what to say.
**[21:08] Maki**
We have no choice.
**[21:09] Maki**
A loss is a loss.
**[21:11] Naitou**
Come now, what are you saying?
**[21:15] Naitou**
Who decided that whichever team
wins two fights first would be the big winner?
**[21:20] Naoki**
Well, it's three against three,
**[21:23] Naoki**
so that's just common sense.
**[21:26] Misaki**
Hang on.
**[21:27] Misaki**
It's true, he never did say that
the team that wins twice is the winner.
**[21:32] Naoki/Shingo**
Wh-What?!
**[21:34] Aichi**
Now that you mention it, I guess that's right.
**[21:37] Naitou**
If you think winning two fights just by chance
**[21:39] Naitou**
gives you the right to call yourselves
the Cardfight Club, you're delusional.
**[21:44] Naitou**
Prove that your victories
weren't mere coincidences
**[21:48] Naitou**
by defeating me, the trump card!
**[21:58] Misaki**
I'll take this next fight.
**[22:01] Aichi**
Misaki...
**[22:04] Naitou**
Very well.
**[22:07] Misaki**
I'm going to beat you so badly
that you'll never mess with us again.
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card is
Neo Nectar's beautiful dryad,
***SIGN*** Maiden of Trailing Rose
**[23:52] Narrator**
Maiden of Trailing Rose!
**[23:55] Narrator**
When this is placed,
you can call one Plant Token unit.
**[23:58] Narrator**
If it's placed as the Vanguard,
you can call two of them!
**[24:02] Narrator**
And if you do a Soul Blast, three of
your Plant Tokens will get +5000 power.
**[24:07] Narrator**
Its reliable skill that makes use of
Plant Token tactics provides great support.
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card,
you too can "Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Maki**
In this afternoon's Miyaji broadcast,
**[24:18] Maki**
we're joined by Eru Nakagami,
the leader of the Psychic Research Society.
**[24:22] Eru**
Hello there.
**[24:23] Maki**
Nakagami, is it true that
you possess psychic abilities?
**[24:27] Eru**
Everyone has psychic abilities.
**[24:29] Eru**
Go ahead, pick up a spoon
and focus your mind on it.
**[24:33] Eru**
Bend, bend, bend...
**[24:36] Eru**
People have yet to realize Earth's secret...
**[24:37] Maki**
Okay everyone, all together:
***SIGN*** Dimension 4
Beyond Globalization!!
**[24:40] Both**
Bend, bend, bend!

**[00:01] Naitou**
Prove that your victories weren't
mere coincidences by defeating me!
**[00:08] Misaki**
I'm going to beat you so badly
that you'll never mess with us again.
**[00:14] Naoki**
He's a novice. It'll be a piece of cake.
**[00:16] Shingo**
Beat the arrogance right out of him!
**[00:18] Aichi**
Good luck, Misaki!
**[00:20] Misaki**
I'm not going to hold back
just because you're a beginner.
**[00:25] Naitou**
I see.
**[00:26] Naitou**
You're all aware that I'm a beginner, correct?
**[00:31] Naitou**
Then you have me at a disadvantage.
**[00:33] Misaki**
A disadvantage?
**[00:34] Naitou**
Yes.
**[00:35] Naitou**
So allow me to lay out the perfect plan
to even the playing field between us.
**[00:43] Naitou**
Aichi Sendou, I appoint you
to be my exclusive fight advisor!
**[00:51] Aichi**
M-Me?!
**[00:54] Aichi**
For us, today is a day like any other.
**[00:58] Aichi**
We know we lost something precious.
**[01:02] Aichi**
Will we ever be able to connect again,
despite that interrupted fate?
***SIGN*** Dimension 4 Beyond Globalization!!
**[02:43] Suwabe**
President, you're a genius!
**[02:45] Suwabe**
Now that's what I call global!
**[02:47] Naoki**
Gettin' Aichi on your side's against the rules!
**[02:50] Shingo**
It's not fair!
**[02:52] Misaki**
Go ahead.
**[02:54] Naoki**
Y-You sure?! If you lose, the club disbands!
**[02:58] Shingo**
Not to mention losing our shot
at the Vanguard Koshien!
**[03:02] Aichi**
Misaki...
**[03:06] Aichi**
I understand.
**[03:08] Naitou**
I've been waiting for
this opportunity, Misaki Tokura.
**[03:13] Naitou**
Or rather...
**[03:14] Naitou**
"Backstage Boss"!
**[03:16] Misaki**
I'm not a "boss"!
**[03:18] Naitou**
There's no sense in hiding it!
**[03:20] Naitou**
Your plan is to use psychic powers
to take over the school.
**[03:24] Naitou**
I can see right through you!
**[03:27] Eru**
Was the prophecy correct?
**[03:29] Eru**
This dark book of prophecies
chronicles the machinations of evil psychics.
**[03:35] Eru**
Its name is: "Elle Note."
**[03:38] Eru**
Everything written in
this notebook shall come to pass.
***SIGN*** Evil Boss Misaki Takura Will Overthrow the Student Council And Take Over the School!
**[03:43] Eru**
There is no resisting it.
**[03:47] Naoki**
Who wrote that?
**[03:49] Naitou**
How dare you...
**[03:51] Naitou**
I refuse to stand by
and allow you to have your way!
**[03:58] Naitou**
Make sure to give me
perfect advice, Aichi Sendou.
**[04:02] Aichi**
Okay.
**[04:03] Naitou**
The hammer of justice
will smite you, Backstage Boss!
**[04:07] Misaki**
I've told you already... I'm not a "boss"!
**[04:10] Misaki/Naitou**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[04:14] Misaki**
Skill activates!
**[04:21] Naitou**
Global advisor Aichi Sendou...
**[04:23] Aichi**
Y-Yes?
**[04:25] Naitou**
What did she just do?
**[04:27] Aichi**
Misaki's clan is Oracle Think Tank.
**[04:30] Aichi**
By using skills to manipulate her deck,
**[04:32] Aichi**
she's able to to predict the future.
**[04:35] Eru**
D-Does that mean she's
an observer of time, like me?!
**[04:40] Naitou**
Th-That's not fair, Boss!
**[04:43] Misaki**
I'm not a "boss"!
**[04:45] Misaki**
Drive check!
**[04:47] Misaki**
I got a draw trigger!
**[04:49] Misaki**
I give the power to Cuore Magus,
**[04:51] Misaki**
and draw one card!
**[04:57] Naitou**
Aichi Sendou, what would you do?
**[05:00] Aichi**
First, deploy your units.
**[05:02] Naitou**
Exactly what I was thinking.
**[05:05] Naitou**
I ride!
**[05:09] Naitou**
Binoculus Tiger!
**[05:12] Naitou**
Join me, Geograph Giant and Silver Wolf!
**[05:18] Naitou**
With its skill, Silver Wolf gets +4000 power!
**[05:24] Naitou**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[05:28] Misaki**
Nike!
**[05:30] Naitou**
Come to me, trigger!
**[05:33] Suwabe**
Bravo!
**[05:35] Naitou**
Just as I planned.
**[05:37] Naitou**
I give all the effects to Geograph.
**[05:39] Misaki**
Tch!
**[05:47] Naoki**
Couldn't she've blocked that?
**[05:50] Maki**
It was probably for costs.
**[05:52] Maki**
If you stop too many attacks,
you're unable to cover skill costs.
**[05:55] Maki**
I suspect she took the damage on purpose.
**[05:59] Naoki**
Huh. You're watchin' real close.
**[06:02] Misaki**
I ride!
**[06:07] Misaki**
Rectangle Magus!
**[06:08] Misaki**
Circle Magus's skill!
**[06:11] Misaki**
I draw one card.
**[06:12] Misaki**
I call Rectangle Magus!
**[06:15] Misaki**
Skill activates!
**[06:17] Naoki**
You got it right!
**[06:19] Misaki**
I'm counting on you!
**[06:20] Rectangle**
Leave it to me!
**[06:26] Naitou**
You're playing *that* seriously
against a poor beginner like me?!
**[06:30] Misaki**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[06:32] Suwabe**
She could get another trigger, President!
**[06:35] Naitou**
I'll guard here...
**[06:37] Aichi**
Take the attack.
**[06:39] Naitou**
What?!
**[06:41] Aichi**
You'll be fine.
**[06:44] Naitou**
That's just what I had in mind.
**[06:48] Misaki**
Drive check!
**[06:50] Misaki**
Critical trigger!
**[06:53] Naitou**
Th-There, you see?!
**[06:55] Naitou**
I should have gone with
my *own* perfect plan instead!
**[06:58] Naitou**
Thanks to you, her attack hit me...
**[07:03] Suwabe**
President!
**[07:04] Shingo**
A draw trigger?!
**[07:05] Naoki**
Don't tell me...
**[07:08] Naoki**
He got a double trigger?!
**[07:12] Aichi**
It's inefficient to guard if you're
fairly certain to turn over a trigger.
**[07:16] Naitou**
That makes sense.
**[07:18] Aichi**
Now Misaki is out of units she can attack with.
**[07:23] Misaki**
Tch!
**[07:25] Naitou**
All according to plan.
**[07:26] Naoki**
Knock it off, Aichi!
**[07:29] Naoki**
Whose side are you on here?!
**[07:31] Shingo**
You're being too helpful!
**[07:32] Misaki**
Keep quiet!
**[07:35] Misaki**
I agreed to this.
**[07:38] Naoki**
She snapped at us...
**[07:40] Naitou**
That's right, you two.
**[07:42] Naitou**
Sendou is my advisor, and as such,
he is giving me honest advice.
**[07:49] Naitou**
Sendou, what's next?
**[07:51] Aichi**
Leo-pald.
**[07:53] Naitou**
My thoughts exactly!
**[07:54] Naitou**
I ride!
**[07:57] Naitou**
School Hunter, Leo-pald!
**[08:01] Naitou**
Imaginary Gift, Accel II!
**[08:08] Naitou**
Leo-pald's skill activates!
**[08:11] Naitou**
A normal unit...
**[08:14] Naitou**
Sendou, explain this skill to her.
**[08:17] Aichi**
Huh? For what reason?
**[08:20] Naitou**
Just to be sure!
**[08:21] Aichi**
Well, uh...
**[08:23] Aichi**
When using this skill reveals
a card that is a normal unit,
**[08:27] Aichi**
you flip over the top four cards of your deck,
**[08:29] Aichi**
and then you may superior call
up to two of them of grade 2 or less.
**[08:32] Misaki**
Yes, I knew that!
**[08:34] Naitou**
It's now our turn on the global stage!
**[08:39] Naitou**
Join me, Geograph Giant!
**[08:42] Naitou**
Binoculus Tiger!
**[08:47] Eru**
So you even called upon the Messiah
that appears only in the farthest lands.
**[08:51] Shingo**
Four in a row!
**[08:53] Naoki**
Man, this ain't good!
**[08:56] Naitou**
Binoculus Tiger attacks your Vanguard!
**[09:00] Naitou**
Skill activates!
**[09:03] Aichi**
When it reveals a trigger unit...
**[09:04] Naitou**
Yes, I know.
**[09:06] Naitou**
I retire Rectangle Magus, and three of
my front-row units gain +5000 power!
**[09:11] Aichi**
Correct.
**[09:12] Naoki**
A trigger lets him
retire a unit and gain power?!
**[09:15] Naoki**
He gets to do all that?!
**[09:17] Suwabe**
A clan truly befitting our president!
**[09:20] Naitou**
How does it feel when a novice
has you up against the wall?
**[09:24] Misaki**
Nike!
**[09:26] Naitou**
Then my Vanguard will punish the Backstage Boss!
**[09:31] Misaki**
"Boss" this, "Boss" that...
**[09:33] Misaki**
I'm sick of it!
**[09:36] Naitou**
Twin drive!
**[09:39] Maki**
A front trigger!
**[09:46] Naitou**
Now is your chance, team!
**[09:54] Naitou**
As to be expected from the perfect genius and
global deck that I, Naitou, have put together.
**[10:01] Naitou**
Sendou, at this point in time,
what are my chances of winning?
**[10:06] Aichi**
Well, if Misaki doesn't
clinch it in the next turn...
**[10:10] Naitou**
100%?
**[10:13] Aichi**
In a Vanguard fight,
there really is no 100% probability.
**[10:17] Naitou**
Perhaps until now.
**[10:18] Naitou**
But if I can hang on through the next turn,
I'll be able to obtain a complete victory.
**[10:23] Naitou**
Take a look.
**[10:25] Naitou**
With a hand like this,
there's nothing I can't block, see?
**[10:29] Naitou**
I no longer need your advice.
**[10:32] Naitou**
From this point on, I will fight
with my own global power.
**[10:37] Naitou**
My victory is already a foregone conclusion!
**[10:57] Misaki**
I ride!
**[11:01] Misaki**
Hexagonal Magus!
**[11:04] Misaki**
Imaginary Gift, Protect I!
**[11:07] Misaki**
Hexagonal Magus's skill activates!
**[11:14] Naitou**
That trick again...
**[11:16] Misaki**
I call Luck Bird!
**[11:20] Misaki**
Skill activates!
**[11:21] Misaki**
Luck Bird gets +6000 power!
**[11:26] Misaki**
Cuore Magus!
**[11:29] Cuore**
Stay calm, my Vanguard.
**[11:36] Misaki**
Thank you.
**[11:37] Misaki**
Come, Tetra Magus!
**[11:40] Tetra**
Finally!
**[11:42] Misaki**
Skill activates!
**[11:44] Misaki**
I call!
**[11:47] Misaki**
You know what to do!
**[11:53] Shingo**
She retired the Accel Circle rear-guard!
**[11:56] Misaki**
Hexagonal Magus attacks your Vanguard!
**[11:59] Naitou**
There it is.
**[12:00] Naitou**
You've got a trigger lined up for this attack,
so I'll do everything it takes to block it!
**[12:05] Naitou**
No need for worry!
**[12:07] Naoki**
Guarding with three cards?!
**[12:10] Naitou**
It can't get through now.
**[12:13] Misaki**
Twin drive!
**[12:16] Misaki**
I give all of the effects to
my left-side Hexagonal Magus!
**[12:21] Misaki**
Skill activates!
**[12:23] Misaki**
All of my Hexagonal Magus units
get +5000 power!
**[12:34] Misaki**
My right-side Hexagonal Magus
attacks your Vanguard!
**[12:39] Aichi**
Y-You don't need to guard against that...
**[12:42] Naitou**
It's absolute guarding!
**[12:49] Naoki**
H-He blocked it!
**[12:51] Shingo**
He's going to deploy like mad next turn.
**[12:54] Naoki**
Tch! Is it curtains for us?!
**[12:58] Naitou**
Did you see my power?
**[13:00] Suwabe**
That's our president!
**[13:04] Naitou**
Nakagami, what are you doing?
***SIGN*** When Eru Nakagami's
True Power is Unleashed
**[13:06] Eru**
I am the god who inscribed
the commandments in this tome,
**[13:10] Eru**
the fourth Elle Note.
***SIGN*** Evil Boss
**[13:12] Eru**
If I erase a prophecy,
**[13:14] Eru**
it is voided.
**[13:16] Naitou**
In other words, the Student Council's victory
has become set in stone, correct?
**[13:21] Naitou**
We'll start by disbanding the Cardfight Club.
**[13:24] Naitou**
And then...
**[13:27] Naitou**
Your ribbon!
**[13:28] Naitou**
Your shirt!
**[13:29] Naitou**
Your skirt!
**[13:31] Naitou**
Inexcusable!
**[13:32] Naitou**
Anyone who flagrantly disrupts
the moral order of our global academy
**[13:36] Naitou**
must be rehabilitated!
**[13:39] Naitou**
Again, I ride School Hunter, Leo-pald!
**[13:43] Naitou**
Imaginary Gift, Accel II!
**[13:47] Naitou**
I draw!
**[13:48] Naitou**
And now, Leo-pald's skill!
**[13:51] Shingo**
Another trigger!
**[13:53] Naitou**
Leo-pald gets +15,000 power
and an extra critical!
**[13:58] Naitou**
Furthermore, with a grade 3 card in the Soul,
I can use the same skill once more!
**[14:08] Naitou**
Now it has 42,000 power and 3 criticals!
**[14:12] Naitou**
Gather around me, my perfect ones!
**[14:15] Naitou**
Triangle Cobra!
**[14:17] Naitou**
Monoculus Tiger!
**[14:18] Naitou**
Binoculus Tiger!
**[14:24] Naoki**
No way she can stop all that!
**[14:26] Suwabe**
Victory is right before our eyes, President!
**[14:28] Naitou**
I'm well aware of that!
**[14:30] Naitou**
My left-side Binoculus Tiger
attacks your Vanguard!
**[14:34] Naitou**
Skill activates!
**[14:36] Maki**
A trigger unit!
**[14:38] Misaki**
I retire Hexagonal Magus.
**[14:46] Misaki**
Luck Bird!
**[14:48] Naitou**
Next!
**[14:50] Naitou**
Skill activates!
**[14:53] Naoki**
Hey, that's too many triggers!
**[14:56] Shingo**
Not even Misaki can...
**[15:00] Misaki**
Luck Bird!
**[15:09] Shingo**
5 damage...
**[15:11] Naoki**
She's at the end of her rope.
**[15:15] Naitou**
It's all over.
**[15:17] Naitou**
Global End!
**[15:20] Misaki**
Please, Sphere Magus units!
**[15:24] Shingo**
A 52,000 shield against 47,000 power?!
**[15:28] Naoki**
She's gotta be dreamin'!
**[15:30] Naoki**
If he draws even one trigger...
**[15:32] Naitou**
I get to draw twice!
Surely at least one will be a trigger!
**[15:38] Naitou**
Twin drive!
**[15:40] Naitou**
The first one...
**[15:43] Naitou**
A narrow escape for you.
**[15:45] Naitou**
But with this second one, it will all be over!
**[15:50] Misaki**
You're out of triggers.
**[15:53] Naitou**
Or so you'd like to hope.
**[16:00] Eru**
Th-The eye of providence is responding!
**[16:04] Eru**
The prophecy is...
**[16:08] Naitou**
Are you actually psychic?!
**[16:10] Naitou**
Using psychic powers
in the sacred game of Vanguard...
**[16:13] Naitou**
...is cowardly!
**[16:15] Misaki**
I didn't use any psychic powers!
**[16:17] Naitou**
Then how could you be so sure
I wouldn't draw a trigger?!
**[16:21] Misaki**
Because...
**[16:23] Misaki**
...you'd already drawn all 16 of your triggers.
**[16:26] Aichi**
Anything Misaki has seen, even for a instant,
she can recall as if looking at a photograph.
**[16:32] Naitou**
Wh-What's that?!
**[16:35] Aichi**
Eidetic memory.
**[16:38] Naitou**
E-Eidetic memory?!
**[16:41] Naitou**
That ability is *too* global!
**[16:47] Shingo**
You said you no longer needed Sendou's advice.
**[16:50] Naoki**
A man wouldn't go back on his word, right?
**[16:53] Naitou**
O-Of course not.
**[16:56] Naitou**
But I'm still going to win this.
**[17:00] Naitou**
Monoculus Tiger attacks!
**[17:03] Misaki**
Guard!
**[17:04] Naitou**
Tch! Cable Sheep attacks!
**[17:07] Misaki**
Perfect guard with Protect!
**[17:11] Misaki**
I ride!
**[17:22] Misaki**
Pentagonal Magus!
**[17:25] Misaki**
"Boss," "rehabilitate," "cowardly"...
**[17:29] Misaki**
So many attacks on my character.
**[17:31] Naitou**
Who could have said those rude things?!
**[17:34] Misaki**
*You* did!
**[17:37] Naitou**
At this rate, the Student Council
will have to support...
**[17:44] Aichi**
I also have this overwhelming desire
to win the Vanguard Koshien.
**[17:49] Naoki**
Declarin' victory already?
**[17:54] Misaki**
I won't let you shut down the Cardfight Club.
**[17:58] Misaki**
I'll protect it!
**[18:02] Misaki**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[18:05] Naitou**
N-No guard!
**[18:07] Misaki**
Quintet Drive!
**[18:10] Misaki**
Critical trigger!
**[18:12] Misaki**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
**[18:18] Misaki**
Critical trigger!
**[18:19] Misaki**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
**[18:26] Misaki**
Critical trigger!
**[18:27] Misaki**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
**[18:38] Naitou**
I'm so sorry!
**[18:45] Misaki**
You have to keep your promise.
**[18:49] Misaki**
The rule is that a club needs to have
at least five members, right?
**[18:54] Misaki**
But if you people join...
**[19:01] Naitou**
You pass!
**[19:02] Naitou**
You all possess more ability than I'd expected.
**[19:07] Naitou**
You still haven't realized?
**[19:09] Naitou**
We wanted to test whether you had what it takes
to participate in the Vanguard Koshien with us.
**[19:16] Naitou**
Just think about it.
**[19:18] Naitou**
I'm seeking perfect global fights
that would serve as a model to other schools.
**[19:23] Naitou**
As a club aiming for victory, we can't afford
to engage in embarrassing battles, after all.
**[19:28] Suwabe**
That's right, President!
**[19:31] Aichi**
Thank you very much.
**[19:33] Aichi**
I didn't know you were actually
being considerate of the Cardfight Club.
**[19:37] Naitou**
Come now, that's my job
as Student Council President!
**[19:41] Aichi**
I'm thrilled that
you'll be joining the Cardfight Club.
**[19:45] Naitou**
Wh-Why?
**[19:47] Aichi**
Because you all looked like
you were having fun while fighting.
**[19:53] Naitou**
S-Sendou...
**[19:54] Naitou**
That's one of the most
basic fundamentals of Vanguard!
**[19:58] Aichi**
Perfectly said, Naitou.
**[20:01] Naoki**
I know. I know, but...
**[20:04] Shingo**
It feels rather sneaky.
***SIGN*** {Aichi Sendou
Naoki Ishida

Eru Nakagami
**[20:10] Aichi**
We've got enough members now.
**[20:12] Shingo**
So we can enter the Vanguard Koshien!
**[20:15] Naoki**
Yeah, and it's all thanks to you, Boss!
**[20:18] Misaki**
I'm not a...
**[20:20] Misaki**
Forget it.
**[20:21] Eru**
And at the same time,
my club has also become official.
***SIGN*** Cardfight Club and Psychic Research Society
**[20:32] Naoki**
When did you add that?!
**[20:34] Eru**
What are you saying?
**[20:36] Eru**
Becoming pioneers of the promised land
will require the power of a sage.
**[20:42] Eru**
Hence, we are now:
**[20:43] Eru**
"The Cardfight Club *and*...
**[20:46] Eru**
...Psychic Research Society"!
**[20:48] Misaki**
No thanks.
**[20:49] Eru**
What?!
**[20:50] Shingo**
"The Cardfight Club" alone is fine!
**[20:52] Naoki**
Darn right!
**[20:54] Maki**
Still, I don't understand it.
**[20:58] Maki**
The elementary mistake of granting
permission to a club with only four people...
**[21:02] Maki**
How could that have happened?
**[21:05] Maki**
And this photo...
**[21:07] Maki**
It's framed as if there should be five people.
**[21:11] Eru**
The answer is simple.
**[21:13] Eru**
The world-line has probably diverged.
**[21:17] Shingo**
"World-line"?
**[21:18] Eru**
Yes. Time is like a rail,
flowing from the past to the future.
**[21:25] Eru**
But through certain factors,
that rail can be changed.
**[21:30] Eru**
Identifying the cause of the divergence
**[21:33] Eru**
and locating the presence of
the singularity that awaits at the end...
**[21:38] Eru**
That shall be the first mission of the
Cardfight Club and Psychic Research Society.
**[21:45] Naoki**
Let's go to the Vanguard Koshien!
**[21:48] Shingo**
I'll do my best, too!
**[21:50] Naitou**
I will show all of you my global strength.
**[21:53] Suwabe**
I'll be right behind you, President!
**[21:58] Aichi**
The Vanguard Koshien...
**[22:00] Aichi**
With these members...
**[22:03] Aichi**
...we're sure to win!
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is
Misaki's ace in the hole,
***SIGN*** Pentagonal Magus
**[23:51] Narrator**
Pentagonal Magus!
**[23:52] Narrator**
When turning over a trigger,
you can add +5000 to the power received.
**[23:56] Narrator**
And when it attacks, if you Soul Blast a
grade 3 and discard five cards from your hand,
**[24:00] Narrator**
you can make five drive checks!
**[24:02] Narrator**
But if you have two rear-guard
"Magus" units in your front row,
**[24:05] Narrator**
you only have to discard three cards!
**[24:07] Narrator**
Put plenty of Magus units in your deck
and draw lots of triggers!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card,
you too can "Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Eru**
"Unless you win the game or
solve the puzzle, you are just a loser."
**[24:20] Naitou**
That may be what your
notebook of prophecies says, but...
**[24:23] Eru**
What's wrong, Naitou? I mean, "Light"!
**[24:24] Naitou**
That notebook helps to
guide people in the right direction.
**[24:27] Naitou**
Allow *me* to use the Elle Note, too!
**[24:29] Eru**
Can you use it?
**[24:31] Naitou**
I alone can--I mean, I can do it!
**[24:33] Naitou**
As god of the Cardfight Club
and Psychic Research Society,
**[24:37] Naitou**
I will show all of you
the creation of a new world!
**[24:39] Eru**
You are my only partner, Misa-Misa!

**[00:00] Aichi**
Now, imagine it.
**[00:03] Aichi**
This is Cray, a planet very similar to Earth.
**[00:06] Aichi**
We've just arrived there as astral bodies.
**[00:17] Naitou**
I can see it!
**[00:19] Naitou**
What a global image!
**[00:22] Suwabe**
You're a visionary, President!
**[00:24] Maki**
Please open your eyes.
**[00:25] Maki**
You can't fight with them shut.
**[00:28] Naitou**
Oh, good point.
**[00:30] Kyou**
He often says that.
**[00:33] Kyou**
That expression.
**[00:34] Kamui**
Which expression?
**[00:36] Kyou**
"Imagine it" or whatever.
**[00:38] Kamui**
Yeah, to enjoy Vanguard,
imagination is what you need the most.
**[00:44] Kyou**
Really?
**[00:45] Kamui**
Of course!
**[00:46] Kamui**
I'm imagining it myself!
**[00:49] Kamui**
Riding my Vanguard and
fighting on the planet Cray!
**[00:56] Kamui**
You should try to imagine it too!
**[01:05] Kyou**
Yeah, right.
**[01:07] Kamui**
Hey! Take this seriously!
**[01:11] Kyou**
I can't imagine any of that stuff.
**[01:15] Shin**
It's about that time.

The Road to the Vanguard Koshien!
***SIGN*** Suiko Rekka Kourin
**[01:24] Suiko**
In this program, we introduce high schools that
are aiming to participate in the Vanguard Koshien.
**[01:30] Naoki**
It's started.
**[01:31] Shingo**
I believe today it's...
***SIGN*** Vanguard Club
**[01:33] Rekka**
Today we'll love-love introduce
Hitsue High's Vanguard Club!
**[01:38] Aichi**
Kai, Miwa, and Morikawa go to Hitsue.
**[01:43] Misaki**
This show is live, right?
**[01:45] Misaki**
I just hope they don't do anything goofy.
***SIGN*** Vanguard Club
**[01:49] Rekka**
Let's go in!
**[01:52] Morikawa**
I'm the captain here!
**[01:54] Miwa**
I said, just let me be captain for today!
**[01:56] Morikawa**
I'm gonna be the one who gets to talk to Kourin!
**[01:58] Miwa**
I wanna talk to Suiko!
***SIGN*** Please stand by.
**[02:06] Naoki**
They embarrassed themselves
on a nationwide broadcast.
**[02:09] Misaki**
They're probably banned from the show now.
***SIGN*** Morikawa Hitsue High Captain
**[02:13] Kourin**
All right, let's get back on track.
**[02:15] Kourin**
I'd like to interview the
club captain, Morikawa.
**[02:19] Kourin**
We hear a very strong fighter
has joined your club.
**[02:22] Miwa**
Me! Me! Me! Me!
**[02:25] Kourin**
But it seems he isn't here today.
**[02:27] Miwa**
Oof...
**[02:27] Morikawa**
Yeah, he just officially signed up,
**[02:31] Morikawa**
but never actually comes to the club!
**[02:33] Morikawa**
Kai!
**[02:34] Morikawa**
We had you become a member so we could win!
**[02:37] Morikawa**
So quit brushing us off!
**[02:39] Morikawa**
You've gotta be watching this, right?!
You should be here, practicing with us!
**[02:39] Shin**
I see. So he hasn't been going to the club...
**[02:43] Shin**
And I haven't seen him here lately, either.
**[02:47] Aichi**
Kai...

Next time we'll feature a
team that's likely to win!
**[03:01] Rekka**
Gouki Daimonji!
**[03:04] Kamui**
It's Gouki!
**[03:05] Kourin**
And Kenji Mitsusada!
**[03:09] Suiko**
These two, who dominated the Asia Circuit,
belong to Harumi High's Vanguard Club!
**[03:15] Kamui**
I see! So Gouki's gonna be on TV!
**[03:18] Shin**
Top idols, ULTRARARE, visiting their school...
**[03:21] Shin**
Don't you just envy them?

**[05:19] Kawanami**
There! Oh no, it's a draw trigger!
**[05:26] Kawanami**
Thank you for the game...
**[05:30] Asaka**
What are you doing, Kishida?!
**[05:32] Asaka**
For the Vanguard Koshien,
we'll be fighting as a team of five!
**[05:35] Asaka**
Is this all you've got?!
**[05:39] Asaka**
And it's not just Kishida!
**[05:41] Asaka**
We've got other members
who lack enthusiasm, too!
**[05:43] Asaka**
Pull yourselves together!
**[05:45] Ren**
The members aren't the only ones
who've lost their motivation.
**[05:57] Ibuki**
Are you sure you have time to meet with me
while neglecting your club members...
**[06:01] Ibuki**
...Coach Tetsu Shinjou?
**[06:05] Tetsu**
I'm sure you already know this, Kouji Ibuki.
**[06:09] Tetsu**
Ever since you "deleted"
me and won that last fight,
**[06:14] Tetsu**
I've lost all my enthusiasm for Vanguard.
**[06:19] Tetsu**
I can't coach anymore.
**[06:22] Tetsu**
And it's not just me.
**[06:24] Tetsu**
We've got a lot of members who lost
their drive after you deleted them.
**[06:28] Ibuki**
Like I've told you over and over again,
even I don't know why that happened.
**[06:35] Tetsu**
But because of that,
**[06:36] Tetsu**
I'm having trouble putting together
a team for the Vanguard Koshien.
**[06:40] Tetsu**
You might as well join us.
**[06:42] Ibuki**
Even at the risk of making more people like you?
**[06:53] Ibuki**
It's true that I've
hated Vanguard with a passion.
**[06:57] Ibuki**
If I wanted to, I could go and ruin
the whole Vanguard Koshien tournament.
**[07:03] Ibuki**
However...
**[07:06] Ibuki**
...for some reason, I've started feeling
that I don't mind if Vanguard exists.
**[07:14] Ibuki**
Have I also...
**[07:15] Ibuki**
...lost something myself?
**[07:19] Kamui**
Hey!
**[07:22] Kamui**
Kyou!
**[07:23] Kamui**
It's time for our daily Vanguard fun!
**[07:26] Kyou**
Why'd you have to come to my school?!
**[07:29] Kyou**
Sheesh!
**[07:31] Kamui**
Whatever, let's just go!
**[07:34] Tetsu**
I could've sworn that Kyou Yahagi
was also deleted by Ibuki...
**[07:43] Emi**
See you later!
**[07:49] Aichi**
Emi went out?
**[07:51] Mom**
She's shopping with her friend.
**[07:53] Mom**
Hurry up and finish your breakfast, Aichi.
**[07:56] Aichi**
Okay!
**[07:59] Ushimaru**
Rekka!
**[08:01] Ushimaru**
Rekka!
**[08:03] Ushimaru**
Where are you?!
**[08:07] Kourin**
Rekka isn't here?
**[08:09] Ushimaru**
I bet she went off to have
another Vanguard fight!
**[08:12] Ushimaru**
Even after I pleaded with her
not to go out without permission!
**[08:16] Suiko**
Honestly...
**[08:18] Suiko**
I don't know what she sees in Vanguard.
**[08:21] Kourin**
You're not sounding like an official supporter.
**[08:25] Suiko**
I can't help it.
**[08:27] Suiko**
I've just lost interest for some reason.
**[08:30] Emi**
That's so cute!
**[08:32] Mai**
Emi, isn't that Rekka from ULTRARARE?
**[08:37] Fan A**
Rekka!
**[08:38] Fan B**
I want your autograph!
**[08:39] Fan C**
Shake my hand!
**[08:40] Rekka**
Stop following me!
**[08:43] Emi**
In here!
**[08:48] Fan**
This way?
**[08:48] Fan**
Let's go!
**[08:49] Emi**
You're safe now.
**[08:53] Rekka**
I wish people would know to leave
me alone on one of my few days off.
**[08:57] Rekka**
Thanks.
**[09:02] Rekka**
What? Have we met before?
**[09:05] Emi**
I don't think we have, but...
**[09:09] Rekka**
Right, of course not!
**[09:29] Rekka**
Ahh, that was fun!
**[09:31] Rekka**
Now if I could just play Vanguard,
it would be a perfect day.
**[09:34] Rekka**
Do you know of any good shops?
**[09:40] Emi**
Actually, I do!
**[09:44] Emi**
There's this place. I've been here before.
**[09:49] Emi**
Hello!
**[09:50] Gouki**
Next!
**[09:52] Member A**
That's me!
**[09:53] Gouki**
We don't have much time left
before the Vanguard Koshien.
**[09:57] Gouki**
You've gotta get fired up!
**[10:00] Rekka**
That's Gouki Daimonji from Harumi High,
the school we're covering next week!
**[10:04] Rekka**
I shouldn't have come here.
**[10:07] Emi**
Excuse me.
**[10:09] Rekka**
We shouldn't disturb them.
**[10:10] Rekka**
Let's play over there!
**[10:12] Rekka**
Okay?!
**[10:13] Emi**
Sure, okay!
**[10:18] Kyou**
It's my day off,
**[10:20] Kyou**
but here I am, going out with *this* guy...
**[10:24] Kyou**
Why do you care so much about me?
**[10:28] Kamui**
Why do I?
**[10:29] Kyou**
That's what I asked you!
**[10:32] Kamui**
Well, why not?
**[10:34] Kamui**
For a change of pace,
let's go to a different shop.
**[10:38] Kyou**
Sheesh...
**[10:42] Kamui**
'Sup!
**[10:44] Gouki**
Oh, Kamui!
**[10:46] Kamui**
Gouki!
**[10:47] Emi**
Kamui!
**[10:50] Emi**
Long time no see!
**[10:52] Kamui**
M-Miss Emi!
**[10:54] Kyou**
I never imagined I'd see *her* here.
**[10:58] Kamui**
H-Hey, Kyou!
**[11:00] Kyou**
Whenever I see you,
I get annoyed for some reason.
**[11:05] Kyou**
I'd like to send you flying,
but I can't get violent.
**[11:09] Kyou**
So instead...
**[11:14] Kyou**
Fight me,
**[11:16] Kyou**
Rekka Tatsunagi!
**[11:31] Gouki**
Did he say, "Rekka Tatsunagi"?!
**[11:33] Member A**
She's so cute!
**[11:34] Member B**
What's a genuine idol doing here?!
**[11:37] Gouki**
Pipe down!
**[11:40] Gouki**
Isn't the show on us not till next week?
**[11:43] Rekka**
I'm here as a private citizen.
**[11:46] Kamui**
Kyou, what are you...
**[11:47] Kyou**
Don't get the wrong idea.
**[11:49] Kyou**
It's not like I'm suddenly
interested in Vanguard.
**[11:53] Kyou**
It's just...
**[11:54] Kyou**
...I have to settle a score
with her, through Vanguard.
**[11:58] Kyou**
That's what my gut tells me!
**[12:04] Kawanami**
This scent...
**[12:13] Rekka**
Have we fought before?
**[12:16] Kyou**
Of course not.
**[12:19] Kawanami**
That's...
**[12:21] Kawanami**
...Kyou Yahagi!
**[12:24] Tetsu**
That's enough for today.
**[12:26] Tetsu**
Tomorrow is free practice.
**[12:27] Tetsu**
You can do it here, or you can fight
an unknown opponent at a shop.
**[12:33] Tetsu**
I just have one request.
**[12:37] Tetsu**
If you happen to see Kyou Yahagi
from the middle school fighting,
**[12:41] Tetsu**
I want you to contact me immediately.
**[12:43] Tetsu**
I'm counting on you.
**[12:46] Kawanami**
I'll contact him right a-woof!
**[12:54] Rekka**
White Lily Musketeer, Cecilia...
**[12:57] Rekka**
Love-love ride!
**[13:05] Kyou**
No trigger...
**[13:08] Kyou**
Darn it!
**[13:09] Member A**
Rekka won!
**[13:11] Member B**
She's not an official supporter for nothing!
**[13:13] Member C**
More like, her opponent was too weak!
**[13:19] Tetsu**
Kyou...
**[13:21] Kyou**
Tetsu...
**[13:22] Kyou**
You were watching?
**[13:24] Tetsu**
Well done!
**[13:26] Tetsu**
I'm impressed you fought to the end!
**[13:29] Gouki**
What do you mean?
**[13:32] Tetsu**
This boy, Kyou Yahagi, was "deleted"
by a fighter named Ibuki,
**[13:37] Tetsu**
and ever since then,
he's lost all interest in Vanguard.
**[13:41] Gouki**
All interest in Vanguard?!
**[13:44] Rekka**
That's just like Suiko!
**[13:47] Tetsu**
Some people who've been deleted
**[13:49] Tetsu**
have even had Vanguard's very
existence erased from their memory.
**[13:53] Tetsu**
But Kyou fought to the end.
**[13:57] Tetsu**
I know just how tough that is.
**[14:01] Tetsu**
Because I, too...
**[14:03] Tetsu**
...was deleted.
**[14:06] Tetsu**
Kyou and I aren't the only
ones who have been deleted.
**[14:09] Tetsu**
Several members of our club
at Fukuhara were as well.
**[14:12] Tetsu**
As well as...
**[14:14] Tetsu**
...Toshiki Kai!
**[14:16] Gouki**
Toshiki Kai?!
**[14:22] Kenji**
I haven't seen you since the
shop tournament, Toshiki Kai.
**[14:27] Kai**
Aren't you...
**[14:29] Kenji**
Kenji Mitsusada. Do you remember me?
**[14:32] Kai**
I guess.
**[14:33] Kenji**
I hear your club is aiming
to win at the Vanguard Koshien?
**[14:37] Kenji**
I saw your captain shouting about it on TV.
**[14:42] Kenji**
Of course my school, Harumi High,
is also going for the win.
**[14:45] Kenji**
Even now, we're doing
intensive training at Voyage.
**[14:48] Kenji**
Why don't you come with me?
**[14:51] Kai**
No thanks.
**[14:53] Kenji**
Please!
**[14:55] Kenji**
The truth is...
**[14:57] Kenji**
...I took the wrong train and got lost!
**[15:06] Kamui**
You did great, Kyou!
**[15:08] Kamui**
You fought someone besides me!
**[15:12] Kyou**
Not yet...
**[15:14] Customer A**
Rekka, fight me next!
**[15:16] Customer B**
No, me!
**[15:17] Customer C**
Fight me, just once!
**[15:21] Kyou**
Fight me once more, Rekka Tatsunagi!
**[15:26] Kamui**
I-I'd like you to fight him again, too!
**[15:28] Tetsu**
Fight Kyou again!
**[15:31] Emi**
Rekka...
**[15:33] Rekka**
I'm here on my own time.
**[15:36] Rekka**
So I'm going to fight whomever I want.
**[15:42] Rekka**
I'll fight you until you're satisfied!
**[15:45] Kamui**
Yeah!
**[15:46] Tetsu**
I appreciate it.
**[15:48] Rekka**
Actually...
**[15:52] Rekka**
...there's something bothering me, too.
**[15:55] Kai**
It should be around here.
**[15:57] Nagisa**
It's Koutei!
**[16:01] Kenji**
Hi, Nagisa and...
**[16:04] Kenji**
...who, again?
**[16:05] Nagisa**
You can call them the Three Stooges.
**[16:07] Tsuneto**
We're not the Three Stooges! I'm Tsuneto!
**[16:09] Carl**
I'm Carl!
**[16:10] Kei**
Kei!
**[16:13] Kenji**
Oh, right! It just slipped my mind.
**[16:15] Nagisa**
What are you doing here?
**[16:18] Nagisa**
My brother's been at Voyage for a while now.
**[16:20] Kenji**
Well...
**[16:22] Kei**
Another slip-up?
**[16:24] Carl**
Wait, are you lost?
**[16:27] Nagisa**
Atten-shun!
**[16:28] Nagisa**
Face...
**[16:29] Nagisa**
...right!
**[16:33] Kenji**
Voyage is right there!
**[16:35] Nagisa**
Come on, let's go! We'll escort you!
**[16:38] Kenji**
You don't have to...
**[16:39] Kei**
Here we go...
**[16:45] Kai**
It's him...
**[16:47] Kyou**
No trigger!
**[16:51] Gouki**
He understands the rules,
**[16:53] Gouki**
and the progression of the fight
doesn't seem to be a problem, but...
**[16:57] Rekka**
That makes ten losses in a row now.
Can you keep going?
**[17:03] Tetsu**
Has he lost heart?
**[17:05] Kamui**
Of course he'll keep going!
**[17:09] Kamui**
I'm right behind you, Kyou!
**[17:13] Ren**
Boy...
**[17:15] Ren**
Have you ever seen your units in profile?
**[17:20] Kyou**
They aren't drawn in profile...
**[17:23] Ren**
But they fight alongside you
on the planet Cray, and protect you.
**[17:28] Ren**
Seeing them in profile is only natural.
**[17:32] Ren**
You just have to imagine it, boy.
**[17:35] Ren**
Then maybe one day, you'll be able
to hear the voices of the cards too.
**[17:42] Kyou**
Imagine it...
**[17:44] Rekka**
Can we get started?
**[17:46] Kyou**
Y-Yeah!
**[17:48] Kyou/Rekka**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[17:52] Tetsu**
Like you, Kyou was deleted,
but he's recovered this much.
**[17:57] Tetsu**
That boy, Kamui Katsuragi,
has played a major part in his recovery.
**[18:03] Tetsu**
However...
**[18:05] Tetsu**
...the effects of Delete are still there.
**[18:08] Tetsu**
Something crucial is missing.
**[18:12] Tetsu**
If we could figure out what that is,
both of us might be able to get our mojo back.
**[18:24] Kyou**
Stand and draw!
**[18:25] Aichi**
Now, imagine it.
**[18:29] Kyou**
Imagine it...
**[18:35] Kamui**
I'm imagining it myself!
**[18:38] Kyou**
I must've been able to imagine it before, too!
**[18:44] Kyou**
This layout...
**[18:46] Kyou**
I've seen it before!
**[18:50] Kyou**
I ride Dueling Dragon, ZANBAKU!
**[18:56] Kyou**
I'll blow you away!
**[18:58] Rekka**
White Lily Musketeer, Cecilia...
**[19:01] Rekka**
Love-love ride!
**[19:07] Kyou**
Wh-What was that?!
**[19:09] Rekka**
We've fought each other before today?!
**[19:13] Ren**
Imagine it, boy.
**[19:18] Kyou**
Imagine it...
**[19:22] Kyou**
I have to imagine it!
**[19:30] Kyou**
That's right!
**[19:31] Kyou**
I'm Dueling Dragon, ZANBAKU! And...
**[19:34] Kyou**
...I can see them in profile!
**[19:38] Kyou**
Here I go! I ride!
**[19:49] Kyou**
Dueling Dragon King, ZANGEKI!
**[19:53] Kyou**
Twin Swordsman, MUSASHI! You're up!
**[19:55] Musashi**
As you wish!
**[19:56] Kyou**
Move up, Million Rat!
**[19:59] Rekka**
W-Wait!
**[20:00] Kyou**
This time for sure,
**[20:02] Kyou**
I'm gonna blow you away!
**[20:13] Rekka**
I lost...
**[20:18] Kyou**
I... did... it...
**[20:22] Kamui**
Kyou! Are you okay?!
**[20:26] Kyou**
I totally forgot how much fun Vanguard is!
**[20:32] Kamui**
Kyou's back!
**[20:34] Tsuneto**
Isn't it obvious that Vanguard is fun?
**[20:38] Carl**
Maybe he got hit on the head?
**[20:40] Kei**
Yeah...
**[20:41] Kyou**
Shut up, you third-rate dregs!
**[20:43] Kamui**
Even his sharp tongue is back!
**[20:46] The Three**
Third-rate dregs?!
**[20:49] Tsuneto**
Wh-What does "third-rate dregs" mean?
**[20:53] Kei**
Short for "three dragons"?
**[20:55] Tsuneto**
That's way better than "Three Stooges"!
**[20:57] Tsuneto**
"Three Dragons"! I like the sound of it!
**[20:59] Carl**
Why don't we make it cooler, though?
With "trio," or "triple"...
**[21:03] Kei**
"Trinity"!
**[21:04] Tsuneto**
That's it!
**[21:05] The Three**
We are...
**[21:07] The Three**
...Team Trinity Dragon!
**[21:11] Kamui**
Thank goodness they misunderstood...
**[21:15] Tetsu**
I don't know the reason why,
**[21:17] Tetsu**
but for Kyou, beating Rekka was necessary
for him to break free of Delete's influence.
**[21:25] Tetsu**
Which means...
**[21:26] Tetsu**
...if the other people who were
deleted could also find their triggers...
**[21:32] Mamoru**
You're Toshiki Kai, aren't you?
**[21:35] Mamoru**
The one they call the "Solitary Fighter."
**[21:38] Kai**
Who are you?
**[21:40] Kenji**
Mamoru Anjou.
**[21:42] Kenji**
He's a member of Harumi High's Vanguard Club.
**[21:45] Kenji**
Like you, he uses a Kagero deck.
**[21:48] Mamoru**
I've always wanted to fight you,
the strongest Kagero user around.
**[21:54] Mamoru**
It seems like you've fallen
on hard times, though.
**[21:59] Mamoru**
Still, maybe meeting you
here is some kind of fate.
**[22:04] Mamoru**
Including the fact that
I brought this card here.
**[22:08] Kai**
Card?
**[22:10] Mamoru**
Dragonic Overlord...
**[22:12] Mamoru**
THE END!
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Kyou's ace in
the hole, Dueling Dragon King, ZANGEKI!
***SIGN*** Dueling Dragon King, ZANGEKI
**[23:53] Narrator**
With a Left Arrester in the
front row, this unit gains power,
**[23:55] Narrator**
and with a Right Arrester,
it gains an extra critical.
**[23:58] Narrator**
Also, if there's a card in the Soul
with "Dueling Dragon" in its name,
**[24:01] Narrator**
your opponent can only guard against
ZANGEKI with grade 0 units from their hand.
**[24:05] Narrator**
And Imaginary Gift, Accel,
increases its number of attacks,
**[24:08] Narrator**
allowing for consecutive attacks!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card,
you too can "Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Gouki**
Of course Harumi High is aimin'
to win at the Vanguard Koshien!
**[24:20] Gouki**
Let's sing our school song, loud and proud!
**[24:22] Gouki**
Mitsusada, you do lead vocals!
**[24:24] Kenji**
Got it! Okay, here I go!
**[24:26] Kenji**
Who we are is Team Asteroid!
**[24:29] Gouki**
That's not it!
**[24:30] Kenji**
Sorry, it just slipped out!
**[24:32] Mamoru**
Gouki, sorry, but I don't think
we can sing our school song.
**[24:35] Gouki**
Are you saying we can't win, Mamoru?!
**[24:38] Mamoru**
No, but Harumi High doesn't have a school song!
***SIGN*** Dimension 6
The Beginning of The End
**[24:41] Gouki**
Wh-What?! Let's make them write one, right away!
**[24:43] Kenji**
"Them" who?!

**[00:06] Tetsu**
I don't know the reason why,
**[00:08] Tetsu**
but for Kyou, beating Rekka was necessary
for him to break free of Delete's influence.
**[00:16] Tetsu**
Which means...

**[00:23] Mamoru**
You're Toshiki Kai, aren't you?
**[00:26] Mamoru**
The one they call the "Solitary Fighter."
**[00:30] Kai**
Who are you?
**[00:31] Mamoru**
Mamoru Anjou.
**[00:33] Kenji**
He's a member of Harumi High's Vanguard Club.
**[00:37] Kenji**
Like you, he uses a Kagero deck.
**[00:39] Mamoru**
I've always wanted to fight you,
the strongest Kagero user around.
**[00:45] Mamoru**

**[00:50] Mamoru**

**[00:55] Mamoru**

**[00:59] Kai**
Card?
**[01:01] Mamoru**
Dragonic Overlord...
**[01:03] Mamoru**
THE END!
**[01:07] Mamoru**
I have a proposal.
**[01:10] Kai**
What proposal?
**[01:11] Mamoru**
Would you use this card to fight me?
**[01:17] Mamoru**
I want to see Toshiki Kai, the strongest
Kagero user, master "The End."
**[01:25] Kenji**
Mamoru, didn't you hear?
**[01:27] Kenji**
Right now, he's...
**[01:34] Gouki**
Let's leave this to Mamoru.
**[01:45] Kai**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[01:45] Mamoru**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[01:50] Aichi**
For us, today is a day like any other.
**[01:54] Aichi**
We know we lost something precious.
**[01:58] Aichi**
Will we ever be able to connect again,
despite that interrupted fate?
***SIGN*** Dimension 6 The Beginning of The End
**[03:47] Mai**
That Kai person is a bit scary.
**[03:50] Emi**
You think so?
**[03:52] Emi**
He isn't as scary as usual today.
**[03:55] Mamoru**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[03:58] Kai**
No guard.
**[03:59] Mamoru**
Drive check.
**[04:02] Tsuneto**
A critical trigger!
**[04:03] Kei**
His opponent already has 4 damage.
**[04:05] Carl**
If this goes through...
**[04:07] Kai**
Damage check.
**[04:09] Kai**
First check...
**[04:11] Kai**
Second check...
**[04:13] Emi**
Please!
**[04:17] Kamui**
He lost again!
**[04:21] Mamoru**
Let's do it once more.
**[04:24] Kai**
Why? No matter how many times
we fight, the result will be--
**[04:28] Mamoru**
I want to see you master The End.
**[04:34] Tetsu**
Wait, could he be thinking
along the same lines as me?
**[04:41] Kai**
There was another time
when I wasn't able to win.
**[04:45] Kai**
It was when I moved soon after
my parents skipped out.
**[04:51] Opponent A**
All right! I win!
**[04:53] Kai**
Darn it!
**[04:56] Opponent B**
Pretty bad at this, huh?
**[05:01] Opponent C**
You're not cut out for Vanguard.
**[05:06] Young Kai**
Dragonic Overlord...
**[05:11] Young Kai**
It has to be you!
**[05:13] Young Kai**
I have to win with you, no matter what!
**[05:19] Mamoru**
I ride!
**[05:22] Mamoru**
Dragonic Blademaster!
**[05:24] Mamoru**
Imaginary Gift.
**[05:26] Mamoru**
Force I!
**[05:28] Mamoru**
I call Dragon Knight, Nehalem!
**[05:31] Mamoru**
Its skill activates.
**[05:33] Mamoru**
I retire Aermo.
**[05:38] Mamoru**
This way Nehalem gets +5000 power.
**[05:41] Mamoru**
On top of that, I call Doha.
**[05:45] Mamoru**
Its skill activates.
**[05:47] Mamoru**
I superior call
Wyvern Strike, Garan from my deck.
**[05:52] Mamoru**
Nehalem attacks Berserk.
**[05:55] Kai**
No guard.
**[05:58] Nagisa**
That Kai person lost all his rear-guards.
**[06:02] Carl**
Each time he's put out rear-guards,
they've gotten retired right away.
**[06:07] Tsuneto**
That's 'cause it's a fight
between two Kagero users.
**[06:10] Tsuneto**
It's what they call a "set pattern."
**[06:12] Kei**
Yeah, makes sense.
**[06:14] Mamoru**
Blademaster and Garan's skills activate.
**[06:17] Mamoru**
Blademaster gets +5000 power
and an extra critical.
**[06:21] Mamoru**
Garan also gets +5000 power.
**[06:24] Mamoru**
I attack your Vanguard.
**[06:25] Kai**
No guard!
**[06:27] Mamoru**
Drive check.
**[06:30] Gouki**
Two checks without a trigger for Mamoru...
**[06:33] Kai**
Damage check.
**[06:35] Kenji**
Kai didn't get any triggers either,
just 2 damage.
**[06:39] Mamoru**
Boosted by Garan,
**[06:40] Mamoru**
Doha attacks your Vanguard.
**[06:43] Tetsu**
Kai has no rear-guards,
and due to Doha's skill,
**[06:46] Tetsu**
he can't guard against Doha's attack
with normal units.
**[06:51] Emi**
Now he has 4 damage!
**[06:54] Mai**
Is he in a pinch?
**[06:55] Emi**
Yeah, a major pinch.
**[06:57] Kamui**
But he's just getting started, Miss Emi!
**[07:01] Kai**
The reason I wanted
to win with Overlord that much...
**[07:04] Kai**
Looking back on it now...
**[07:09] Man**
Hiya, Toshiki!
**[07:11] Man**
I'm sure we'll get along great!
**[07:13] Man**
I'm in a bind myself after
what that kid's parents did!
**[07:16] Man**
Honestly, I can't even
stand to see the name "Kai"!
**[07:20] Man**
Take him off my hands!
**[07:22] Kai**
All I thought about back then,
**[07:24] Kai**
was how much I wished I could engulf
everything around me in crimson flames,
**[07:30] Kai**
especially the adults who
lied to me through their teeth.
**[07:36] Kai**
...I'm sure that was the reason.
**[07:39] Kai**
I ride!
**[07:40] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord!
**[07:43] Kai**
Imaginary Gift.
**[07:44] Kai**
Force II!
**[07:47] Kai**
I had one other reason
for wanting to win with Overlord.
**[07:54] Young Kai**
Counterblast!
**[07:57] Young Kai**
I discard two units from my hand
and re-stand Dragonic Overlord!
**[08:01] Kai**
I really liked Overlord's re-stand skill.
**[08:07] Kai**
I had been betrayed by lies
over and over again.
**[08:20] Kai**
But seeing Overlord stand back up,
I felt like it was saying to me,
**[08:26] Kai**
"You too can rise up again,
with your own strength."
**[08:31] Kai**
That's how it seemed.
**[08:34] Young Kai**
Okay, I hear you!
**[08:40] Young Kai**
Dragonic Overlord attacks your Vanguard!
**[08:44] Opponent C**
I guard!
**[08:45] Young Kai**
What?!
**[08:46] Opponent C**
That was close!
**[08:48] Opponent C**
It's my turn.
**[08:51] Young Kai**
Darn it!
**[08:53] Opponent C**
Pathetic!
**[08:57] Opponent C**
Is it true you used to win more often
before you switched to Kagero?
**[09:03] Kai**
Yeah...
**[09:03] Opponent C**
You'd be better off
going back to your old clan.
**[09:29] Kai**
I call Nehalem.
**[09:31] Kai**
Its skill activates.
**[09:33] Kai**
+5000 power.
**[09:34] Kai**
I retire Garan.
**[09:37] Kai**
And then I call Embodiment of Armor, Bahr!
**[09:40] Kai**
Its skill activates!
**[09:43] Kai**
I retire Doha!
**[09:45] Kai**
Overlord's skill activates!
**[09:48] Kai**
+10,000 power.
**[09:50] Kai**
Bahr attacks Nehalem!
**[09:52] Mamoru**
No guard.
**[09:56] Rekka**
Now all the other guy's rear-guards are gone...
**[09:59] Kyou**
Well yeah, they've been going
back and forth like that.
**[10:05] Young Kai**
I have to...
**[10:08] Young Kai**
...use Kagero...
**[10:10] Young Kai**
...and Overlord, to wi--
**[10:13] Young Kai**
Ow!
**[10:15] Boy**
Ouch...
**[10:20] Boy**
S-Sorry!
**[10:29] Young Kai**
What happened to you?
Did you lose a fight or something?
**[10:33] Young Kai**
But you don't seem the fighting type.
**[10:36] Young Kai**
Did you get bullied?
**[10:41] Young Kai**
Come on! Just imagine it!
Imagine yourself being as strong as him.
**[10:48] Young Kai**
Imagination will become your strength.
**[11:00] Young Kai**
Imagination will become strength...
**[11:09] Young Kai**
Come to think of it,
that's just what I said, to him.
**[11:23] Kai**
And so...
**[11:27] Young Kai**
Dragonic Overlord attacks!
**[11:40] Opponent C**
I lost... again?!
**[11:45] Opponent C**
You cheated, didn't you?!
There's no other way you could--
**[11:50] Young Kai**
I imagined myself being strong.
**[11:57] Young Kai**
And imagination becomes strength.
**[12:04] Kai**
Overlord attacks your Vanguard!
**[12:11] Mamoru**
Wyvern Guard, Barri!
**[12:15] Nagisa**
A perfect guard!
**[12:16] Kai**
Twin drive!
**[12:18] Kai**
First check.
**[12:20] Kai**
Heal trigger!
**[12:21] Kai**
I give the power to Nehalem.
**[12:23] Kai**
Second check!
**[12:25] Kai**
Go, Nehalem!
**[12:27] Nehalem**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[12:34] Emi**
Now they're tied!
**[12:41] Kai**
It's your turn.
**[12:43] Mamoru**
Right.
**[12:45] Mamoru**
Once again, I ride!
**[12:47] Mamoru**
Dragonic Blademaster!
**[12:51] Mamoru**
Imaginary Gift, Force I!
**[12:54] Mamoru**
I call Raopia and Doha!
**[12:58] Mamoru**
Doha's skill activates!
**[13:00] Mamoru**
I superior call Garan from my deck!
**[13:04] Mamoru**
Since Doha and Garan are both on the field,
**[13:06] Mamoru**
Blademaster's skill activates!
**[13:13] Rekka**
His rear-guards are gone again!
**[13:15] Kyou**
I told you to quit being surprised
every time that happens!
**[13:19] Rekka**
Where do you get off,
talking to me like--
**[13:21] Kyou**
Hush up! The fight's not over yet!
**[13:26] Mamoru**
I superior call Vision Token!
**[13:40] Nagisa**
Looks like Mamoru's gonna win again.
**[13:43] Gouki**
We'll see.
**[13:45] Gouki**
Toshiki Kai's got six cards in his hand.
**[13:49] Gouki**
If he survives this turn, then maybe...
**[13:53] Mamoru**
Here I come.
**[13:54] Kai**
I'm ready.
**[13:55] Mamoru**
Blademaster attacks!
**[13:58] Kai**
Barri!
**[14:00] Mamoru**
Twin drive!
**[14:01] Mamoru**
First check!
**[14:03] Mamoru**
Heal trigger!
**[14:06] Mamoru**
I give the power to Doha.
**[14:08] Mamoru**
Second check!
**[14:10] Mamoru**
Critical trigger!
**[14:11] Mamoru**
I give all of the effects to Vision Token!
**[14:15] Mamoru**
Vision Token attacks your Vanguard!
**[14:19] Kai**
No guard!
**[14:22] Tetsu**
If he gets a critical on this drive check,
**[14:25] Tetsu**
Kai will lose.
**[14:26] Emi**
I see!
**[14:28] Emi**
Vision Token is a rear-guard
that can make drive checks!
**[14:32] Kamui**
Good catch, Miss Emi!
**[14:34] Kamui**
It's like he's got more than one Vanguard.
**[14:37] Mai**
Is that really good?
**[14:38] Emi**
Yeah, it's great.
**[14:47] Emi**
That's great!
**[14:49] Kamui**
Um, Miss Emi...
**[14:53] Emi**
Now he has 5 damage!
**[14:56] Mamoru**
Boosted by Raopia,
**[14:57] Mamoru**
Doha attacks your Vanguard!
**[14:59] Emi**
If this finishes it, once again Kai will...
**[15:03] Kamui**
Nope, it's not ending here!
**[15:05] Kai**
I guard!
**[15:06] Kai**
Rakshasa! Genjo! To me!
**[15:14] Mamoru**
You managed to hang on thanks to
retaining cards in your hand, huh?
**[15:19] Nagisa**
But it's still 5 to 2.
**[15:21] Nagisa**
I think Mamoru's pretty much guaranteed to win.
**[15:24] Carl**
I have to agree.
**[15:25] Tsuneto**
Yeah, it's clear as daylight
who's gonna win and lose.
**[15:28] Kei**
Clear as daylight...
**[15:30] Kamui**
Nobody asked you kids for your opinion!
**[15:33] Nagisa**
Yeah! My Kamui's right, you guys!
**[15:36] Mamoru**
Toshiki Kai, it's your turn.
**[15:41] Kai**
Stand and draw.
**[16:02] Kai**
"Imagination becomes strength."
**[16:06] Kai**
Maybe what I lost was my belief in those words.
**[16:12] Kai**
And yet, as long as I have that, I can
always stand on the planet Cray, like now.
**[16:23] Kai**
I want to win with you!
**[16:38] Kai**
Materialize, raging dragon
of the true apocalypse!
**[16:42] Kai**
Herald the beginning of the end
with your crimson flames!
**[16:52] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord the End!
"The Vanguard"!
**[16:57] Kai**
Imaginary Gift!
**[16:59] Kai**
Force II!
**[17:03] Kai**
To me, Raopia and Nehalem!
**[17:09] Kai**
Nehalem's skill activates!
**[17:22] Kai**
Here I come!
**[17:23] Mamoru**
Bring it on!
**[17:28] Mamoru**
Rakshasa!
**[17:32] Kai**
Twin drive!
**[17:33] Kai**
First check!
**[17:35] Kai**
Second check!
**[17:37] Kai**
Critical trigger!
**[17:39] Kai**
I give all of the effects to The End!
**[17:46] Kamui**
If that'd gone through,
it would've done 3 damage!
**[17:48] Tetsu**
However...
**[17:49] Tetsu**
...The End also possesses a re-stand skill!
**[17:52] Kai**
Its skill activates!
**[17:58] Kai**
I re-stand The End!
**[18:01] Emi**
Please go through this time!
**[18:03] Mamoru**
Genjo! Nehalem!
**[18:08] Kai**
Drive check!
**[18:10] Kai**
Critical trigger!
**[18:12] Kai**
I give all of the effects to The End!
**[18:19] Kamui**
Again?!
**[18:20] Tetsu**
But now Kai has three cards in his hand.
**[18:25] Kyou**
If he discards them,
he can stand one more time.
**[18:28] Rekka**
Plus, that Mamoru guy
has just one card in his hand!
**[18:32] Kyou**
You get it, huh?
**[18:34] Rekka**
Naturally!
**[18:39] Kai**
Its skill activates!
**[18:41] Kai**
I re-stand The End once again!
**[19:07] Mamoru**
No guard...
**[19:32] Mamoru**
You certainly did show me
that you've mastered The End.
**[19:47] Kamui**
He finally got a win!
**[19:49] Emi**
That's great!
**[19:51] Kamui**
It sure is, Miss Emi!
**[19:53] Nagisa**
My dear Kamui!
**[19:54] Kamui**
Whaddaya want, Nagisa?!
**[19:55] Emi**
You two are as close as ever.
**[19:59] Nagisa**
That's right! We're bosom buddies!
**[20:04] Tetsu**
Looks like you also broke free
of Delete's influence.
**[20:09] Kai**
No, all I did was win once.
**[20:12] Kai**
To borrow your phrase,
**[20:14] Kai**
it'll still take some time
for me to get my "mojo" back.
**[20:24] Kai**
I'm grateful.
**[20:26] Kai**
This is all thanks to you
challenging me to a serious fight.
**[20:30] Mamoru**
It really was some kind of fate
that brought us together here.
**[20:38] Mamoru**
I can't help thinking that
The End was calling out for you.
**[20:47] Mamoru**
Hold on to it.
**[20:49] Kai**
Why?
**[20:51] Mamoru**
So I get to defeat Toshiki Kai, the strongest
Kagero user around, at the Vanguard Koshien.
**[20:57] Gouki**
Aha, so that's what this was about.
**[21:00] Gouki**
Well too bad, matey.
**[21:02] Gouki**
I'm the one who's gonna beat Toshiki Kai!
**[21:05] Kenji**
That's my line.
**[21:07] Kenji**
I owe him one.
**[21:09] Kenji**
And I intend to pay him back in full
at the Vanguard Koshien.
**[21:15] Kai**
The Vanguard Koshien, huh...
**[21:24] Morikawa**
Kai won?!
**[21:25] Kamui**
Yeah, I wish you'd been there to see the fight!
**[21:29] Morikawa**
Is that true?!
**[21:31] Morikawa**
All right...
**[21:33] Morikawa**
I'll see for myself!
**[21:38] Kai**
Then you'll let me practice with you, Captain?
**[21:41] Morikawa**
You got it!
**[21:42] Morikawa**
It's important to show humility.
**[21:49] Kamui**
My sincere condolences...
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Kai's new ace
in the hole, Dragonic Overlord the End!
***SIGN*** Dragonic Overlord the End
**[23:53] Narrator**
After attacking, if there's
an "Overlord" in the Soul,
**[23:56] Narrator**
you can re-stand it by discarding
three cards from your hand.
**[23:58] Narrator**
If you have four cards or less in your hand,
you can re-stand it again by paying the cost!
**[24:02] Narrator**
By using both skills in a single turn,
**[24:05] Narrator**
you can attack with your Vanguard
three times in a row!
**[24:07] Narrator**
The End displays its offensive might
within the final stages of a fight!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card,
you too can "Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Gouki**
Knowin' you, I figured ya
had somethin' in mind, but...
**[24:19] Kenji**
To think you'd fight Toshiki Kai to give him
a chance to break free of Delete's influence.
**[24:24] Mamoru**
Cut it out, you two.
**[24:26] Mamoru**
I just wanted to fight Toshiki Kai,
the guy everyone's been talking about.
**[24:29] Gouki**
No point hidin' it!
**[24:30] Gouki**
You've got a real reputation
as a helpful kinda guy.
**[24:33] Mamoru**
D-Do I?
**[24:34] Kenji**
But that helpfulness of yours
worries me, actually...
**[24:37] Mamoru**
Why?
**[24:38] Kenji**
I can picture you in the future,
slaving away at an exploitative company...

**[00:08] Fan A**
I'm a big fan!
**[00:09] Fan A**
I love your latest song!
**[00:11] Kourin**
Thank you.
**[00:12] Fan B**
I went to your latest concert.
**[00:14] Rekka**
Thank you!
**[00:16] Fan C**
If you would!
**[00:19] Kourin/Rekka**
Wow!
**[00:20] Kourin/Rekka**
That's...
**[00:23] Kourin/Rekka**
...a Zerachiel costume!
**[00:25] Suiko**
Yes. Thank you.
**[00:27] Suiko**
Next.
***SIGN*** ULTRARARE Green Room
**[00:30] Rekka**
What was that?
**[00:33] Suiko**
What do you mean?
**[00:34] Rekka**
You were so cold to that fan!
**[00:37] Rekka**
Zerachiel's one of your cards, right?
**[00:41] Rekka**
That guy did his best to make
that costume in order to please you!
**[00:46] Rekka**
"It's wonderful!"
**[00:48] Rekka**
"That's adorable!"
**[00:50] Rekka**
You could've given him
a decent reaction like that!
**[00:54] Suiko**
That's easy for you to say...
**[00:56] Suiko**
I've simply lost interest in Vanguard.
**[01:00] Kourin**
But you used to stay up
all night working on your deck...
**[01:05] Rekka**
Don't tell me Su was deleted, too?!
**[01:08] Suiko**
"Deleted"?
**[01:09] Rekka**
Yeah!
**[01:10] Rekka**
For people who've been deleted, it's like
their enthusiasm for Vanguard was erased!
**[01:16] Rekka**
I met a boy at a shop yesterday,
**[01:18] Rekka**
and he'd lost his motivation after
being deleted by a guy named Ibuki.
**[01:25] Ibuki**
Ibuki...
**[01:30] Kourin**
Suiko?
**[01:32] Rekka**
Do you know something about this Ibuki?
**[01:34] Suiko**
No, I don't.
**[01:36] Suiko**
It's just...
**[01:38] Suiko**
It's no good. I can't remember.
***SIGN*** Ibuki
**[01:45] Ushimaru**
There are currently four Ibukis in the fan club.
**[01:49] Ushimaru**
But all of them live far away from here.
**[01:53] Rekka**
You work fast!
**[01:54] Kourin**
As a surname, not given name?
**[01:58] Ushimaru**
None.
**[02:00] Kourin**
Aren't there any other clues to go on?
**[02:03] Rekka**
That's a tall order.
**[02:07] Tetsu**
Kyou and I aren't the only ones
who have been deleted.
**[02:10] Tetsu**
Several members of our club
at Fukuhara were, as well.
**[02:14] Rekka**
I know! There was that old guy!
**[02:17] Rekka**
He mentioned people from Fukuhara High!
**[02:20] Ushimaru**
I'll look into it.
**[02:22] Rekka**
You can do that?!
**[02:23] Ushimaru**
To an extent.
**[02:25] Suiko**
How much extent?
***SIGN*** Ibuki
**[02:33] Aichi**
For us, today is a day like any other.
**[02:37] Aichi**
We know we lost something precious.
**[02:41] Aichi**
Will we ever be able to connect again,
despite that interrupted fate?
***SIGN*** Dimension 7 Greion's Whisper
**[04:39] Ibuki**
A dream...
**[04:42] Tetsu**
Ever since you "deleted"
me and won that last fight,
**[04:47] Tetsu**
I've lost all my enthusiasm for Vanguard.
**[04:52] Tetsu**
And it's not just me.
**[04:54] Tetsu**
We've got a lot of members who lost
their drive after you deleted them.
**[04:59] Ibuki**
Delete End!
**[05:07] Ibuki**
If...
**[05:08] Ibuki**
If what he said is true...
**[05:11] Ibuki**
...then I've dampened
the enthusiasm of so many people.
**[05:16] Greion**
Trembling beneath the weight of your sins?
**[05:22] Greion**
That's a waste of time.
**[05:25] Greion**
You should expunge the weak.
Break their ties.
**[05:29] Greion**
It's for their own good.
**[05:45] Employee**
Welcome. I'll be with you in a moment.
**[05:48] Ibuki**
If I can just get rid of this cursed deck here,
**[05:51] Ibuki**
I'll stop being tormented by nightmares.
**[05:54] Ibuki**
But wait...
**[05:56] Ibuki**
What if the next one to get this deck
makes the same mistakes I did?
**[06:01] Ibuki**
What if they steal somebody's passion
without even realizing it?
**[06:07] Employee**
How may I help you?
**[06:10] Employee**
Sir...?
**[06:12] Employee**
Sir, you're next.
**[06:15] Customer A**
I'm getting this!
**[06:17] Ibuki**
That hurt.
**[06:19] Customer A**
It's your own fault for spacing out right here.
**[06:24] Ibuki**
You have no manners.
**[06:26] Ibuki**
Shouldn't you apologize
after bumping into someone?
**[06:30] Customer A**
Say what?!
**[06:35] Ibuki**
If that's the way you feel about it,
**[06:37] Ibuki**
I'm willing to take you on.
**[06:40] Ibuki**
In a Vanguard fight!
**[06:44] Greion**
I'll finally get to see some action.
**[06:51] Customer B**
What kinda deck is that?!
**[06:53] Customer C**
I've never heard of "Deletors"!
**[06:56] Customer D**
And look at how he's fighting...
**[07:00] Customer A**
What the heck is this?!
**[07:02] Customer A**
You're ending your turn
without using any skills?!
**[07:05] Ibuki**
I can beat the likes of you
without the use of skills.
**[07:09] Customer A**
Oh yeah?!
**[07:10] Customer A**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[07:15] Customer A**
There, you see?! 5 damage!
**[07:17] Customer A**
Keep acting cocky and you're finished!
**[07:22] Ibuki**
It's my turn.
**[07:24] Ibuki**
I call Geali and Given.
**[07:26] Ibuki**
Greion's skill activates.
**[07:30] Ibuki**
Docking Release!
**[07:34] Customer A**
What?!
**[07:35] Customer A**
My Vanguard got erased?!
**[07:37] Ibuki**
Now you're just a feeble astral body.
**[07:43] Ibuki**
Delete E--
**[07:59] Customer A**
What's with him?!
**[08:03] Employee**
Sir? Sir!
**[08:11] Announcer**
Here's last year's Asia champion, Leon Soryu,
**[08:15] Announcer**
now arriving in Japan to be
an ambassador for the Vanguard Koshien!
**[08:20] Greion**
Aren't you gloomy.
**[08:22] Greion**
While you started that fight,
**[08:24] Greion**
the way you fought was nothing but pathetic.
**[08:29] Greion**
Hey, where are you going?
**[08:32] Greion**
You can't escape.
**[08:33] Greion**
Not from me.
**[08:35] Greion**
For we are one, body and soul.
**[08:44] Ushimaru**
You are Kouji Ibuki, correct?
**[08:47] Ushimaru**
I'm here to pick you up.
**[08:56] Ibuki**
I've never been here before,
and yet I seem to remember it.
**[09:00] Ushimaru**
This way.
**[09:06] Nome**
Come in.
**[09:08] Ushimaru**
I've brought him.
**[09:10] Nome**
Welcome to the Tatsunagi residence.
**[09:15] Nome**
Ibuki...
**[09:17] Nome**
I believe this is your third time here?
**[09:20] Ibuki**
Hey...
**[09:21] Ibuki**
She told me an executive of
the foundation wanted to see me,
**[09:24] Ibuki**
so I agreed to come.
**[09:27] Ibuki**
I figured that Takuto brat
would be here waiting for me.
**[09:32] Ibuki**
So who the heck are you?
**[09:35] Nome**
Nice to meet you.
**[09:37] Nome**
I'm Nome Tatsunagi.
**[09:40] Nome**
I observe the destiny of Earth and Cray,
**[09:44] Nome**
by serving as Concert Master.
**[09:48] Ibuki**
You observe destiny?
**[09:51] Nome**
Indeed.
**[09:52] Nome**
The Tatsunagi family has been monitoring
both planets for a very long time.
**[10:00] Nome**
My younger brother Takuto
used to bear this responsibility,
**[10:04] Nome**
but because you deleted him,
**[10:07] Nome**
Destiny Conductor took over his mind and body.
**[10:12] Ibuki**
"Destiny Conductor"?
**[10:15] Nome**
The ruler of the wandering planet Brandt,
**[10:19] Nome**
who plotted to conquer Cray.
**[10:22] Nome**
But thanks to someone foiling that plan...
**[10:27] Nome**
...Takuto was freed from Brandt,
**[10:30] Nome**
simultaneously losing
his Concert Master powers.
**[10:35] Nome**
Thus I have taken the post in his stead,
to continue our observation of the planets.
**[10:42] Ibuki**
I have no idea what you're talking about!
**[10:44] Nome**
Of course you don't.
**[10:47] Nome**
After all, the revisions to the force of destiny
**[10:51] Nome**
rewrote the melody that had previously existed.
**[10:54] Nome**
The one certainty...
**[10:56] Nome**
...is that, in this place, there was a battle
over the fate of the two planets.
**[11:03] Nome**
By all rights, you, who were involved,
should know much more about it than me.
**[11:10] Ibuki**
Involved? Me?
**[11:13] Nome**
Correct.
**[11:14] Nome**
The "Deletors" you possess are the
advance force that Brandt bestowed upon you.
**[11:19] Ibuki**
These?!
**[11:24] Rekka**
Oh, come on, Nome!
**[11:26] Rekka**
Why did you start without us?!
**[11:29] Ibuki**
What are *you* looking at?!
**[11:31] Nome**
My apologizes.
**[11:33] Nome**
They were the ones who sent for you.
**[11:36] Ibuki**
What?
**[11:37] Rekka**
So you're Kouji Ibuki, huh?
**[11:39] Kourin**
Is what we heard true?
**[11:41] Kourin**
Do people suddenly lose interest
in Vanguard if they lose to you?
**[11:45] Ibuki**
How would I know? I've never tested it.
**[11:49] Suiko**
Are you sure?
**[11:51] Ibuki**
Wait, you're...
**[11:52] Rekka**
Then he did...
**[11:54] Kourin**
He robbed Suiko of her passion for Vanguard.
**[12:00] Ibuki**
Your face...
**[12:02] Ibuki**
Seen up close, it has...
way too much makeup.
**[12:07] Suiko**
Listen, you...
**[12:08] Rekka**
Whoa!
**[12:09] Rekka**
Calm down, Su!
**[12:11] Kourin**
Violence won't solve anything!
**[12:13] Suiko**
I know!
**[12:14] Suiko**
But he really irritates me.
**[12:16] Suiko**
When I look at his face,
my blood starts to boil!
**[12:19] Nome**
It's possible that this is due to...
**[12:22] Nome**
...a reverberation of the fight.
**[12:25] Kourin/Rekka**
A reverberation?!
**[12:27] Nome**
A Vanguard fight is
a harmony performed by two people.
**[12:32] Nome**
And even after the fight ends,
**[12:35] Nome**
an echo remains.
**[12:37] Nome**
People often refer to this as
"camaraderie," or perhaps a "bond"...
**[12:43] Ibuki**
Is he saying there's some connection
between me and her?
**[12:47] Suiko**
I see.
**[12:49] Suiko**
In that case, let's test it with a fight!
**[12:52] Rekka**
Huh? A fight?
**[12:54] Kourin**
Suiko!
**[12:56] Ibuki**
What a pain.
**[12:58] Ibuki**
But fine.
**[13:00] Ibuki**
I'll be your opponent!
**[13:04] Kourin**
Will Suiko be okay?
**[13:07] Kourin**
She said she's lost interest in Vanguard...
**[13:10] Rekka**
That old guy said that, if there's a trigger,
**[13:13] Rekka**
a person may be able to
break free of Delete's effects.
**[13:19] Nome**
Then in this instance, he's the trigger?
**[13:22] Nome**
If so, we should watch their fight closely.
**[13:27] Suiko**
It's strange...
**[13:28] Suiko**
I have this feeling of deja vu.
**[13:31] Ibuki**
If you're going to quit, better do it now.
**[13:35] Suiko**
That's my line.
**[13:37] Suiko**
I don't know why exactly, but when I look at
your face, I can't help but feel outraged.
**[13:45] Ibuki**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[13:45] Suiko**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[14:12] Leon**
The wind is strong...
**[14:17] Leon**
That reminds me, I saw Takuto in Singapore.
**[14:22] Leon**
He was disappointed about not
getting to see the Vanguard Koshien.
**[14:26] Leon**
By the way, where is the current acting head?
**[14:28] Ushimaru**
My apologies, but he's presently
in the middle of observing a fight.
**[14:34] Leon**
Oh? I'd like to watch, too.
**[14:39] Ushimaru**
As you wish.
**[14:43] Ushimaru**
Please come in.
**[14:44] Ushimaru**
It appears her fourth turn has just ended.
**[14:48] Jillian**
Suiko went second, right?
**[14:50] Sharlene**
Who's her opponent?
**[14:52] Ushimaru**
The young man's name is Kouji Ibuki.
**[14:55] Ushimaru**
He uses an unfamiliar deck called "Deletors".
**[14:59] Leon**
That's...
**[15:02] Jillian**
What's wrong, Leon?
**[15:05] Leon**
I thought the wind seemed oddly agitated...
**[15:08] Leon**
So it's *him...*
**[15:14] Greion**
At last, hell's show is about to begin.
**[15:17] Greion**
Now, summon me.
**[15:20] Greion**
Let's show her hell.
**[15:23] Greion**
The girl dared to pick a fight with us...
**[15:27] Ibuki**
Shut up!
**[15:28] Suiko**
What are you doing?
**[15:30] Suiko**
It's your turn.
**[15:32] Ibuki**
I know that!
**[15:35] Ibuki**
I ride!
**[15:39] Ibuki**
Docking Deletor, Greion!
**[15:45] Ibuki**
Imaginary Gift, Force II!
**[15:51] Ibuki**
With this, Greion gets an extra critical!
**[15:57] Rekka**
That's Kouji Ibuki's Vanguard!
**[16:01] Kourin**
What a sinister form!
**[16:05] Nome**
That is Greion, an assassin
sent by the planet Brandt.
**[16:09] Nome**
When its skill is activated,
**[16:12] Nome**
the opponent's Vanguard...
**[16:14] Nome**
...is deleted.
**[16:16] Nome**
Suiko would return to the weak astral form
she had when she landed on the planet Cray.
**[16:22] Kourin**
He can do that?!
**[16:24] Greion**
Now, use my power.
**[16:28] Greion**
Drive fear deep into that girl's heart.
**[16:32] Ibuki**
Shut your mouth!
**[16:34] Ibuki**
I call two Gaen units!
**[16:37] Kourin**
He's not using its skill?
**[16:38] Rekka**
What does that mean?
**[16:42] Ibuki**
Alba attacks Raguel!
**[16:45] Suiko**
No guard.
**[16:49] Ibuki**
With a boost from Gaen,
**[16:50] Ibuki**
Greion attacks!
**[16:52] Suiko**
Please, Nociel!
**[16:56] Rekka**
A perfect guard!
**[16:57] Kourin**
Suiko's fighting just like she used to!
**[17:00] Ibuki**
Twin drive!
**[17:02] Ibuki**
First check.
**[17:03] Ibuki**
Second check.
**[17:05] Ibuki**
Critical trigger!
**[17:07] Ibuki**
I give all of the effects to my front row Gaen!
**[17:10] Ibuki**
With a boost from Gatario,
**[17:12] Ibuki**
Gaen attacks!
**[17:14] Suiko**
No guard!
**[17:19] Suiko**
Damage check!
**[17:23] Kourin**
That makes 4 damage.
**[17:25] Rekka**
However...
**[17:26] Rekka**
...Zerachiel's fallen into the Damage Zone!
**[17:30] Ibuki**
My turn's over.
**[17:33] Suiko**
Hold on!
**[17:34] Suiko**
Are you mocking me?
**[17:36] Suiko**
I expected you to go all out in this fight!
**[17:39] Ibuki**
An opponent like you needs a handicap.
**[17:42] Suiko**
What was that?!
**[17:44] Rekka**
I thought it was strange, too.
**[17:46] Rekka**
I was wondering why
he didn't use Greion's skill.
**[17:50] Kourin**
Is he trying to let Suiko win?
**[17:53] Nome**
No, that's not it.
**[17:55] Nome**
Holding back in a fight
is an insult to one's opponent.
**[17:59] Nome**
I'm sure he's well aware of that.
**[18:03] Nome**
I suspect he's afraid...
**[18:06] Nome**
...of his Deletor's power.
**[18:08] Suiko**
It's my turn!
**[18:10] Suiko**
Skill activates!
**[18:11] Suiko**
I superior ride Zerachiel
from the Damage Zone!
**[18:22] Suiko**
Solidify Celestial, Zerachiel!
**[18:26] Suiko**
Imaginary Gift!
**[18:28] Suiko**
Protect I!
**[18:30] Suiko**
Zerachiel's skill!
**[18:31] Rekka**
All the front row units...
**[18:33] Rekka**
...get +3000 power!
**[18:35] Suiko**
Furthermore, I call Zerachiel!
**[18:38] Kourin**
All the front row units get +3000 power!
**[18:41] Suiko**
Come,
**[18:42] Suiko**
Hesediel.
**[18:45] Suiko**
Skill activates!
**[18:46] Suiko**
I trade the Metatron in my hand
for Thousand Ray Pegasus!
**[18:50] Suiko**
Thousand Ray Pegasus!
**[18:53] Greion**
Hey, she's filled up her ranks.
**[18:58] Greion**
What are you going to do about it?
**[19:00] Ibuki**
Come and get me.
**[19:02] Suiko**
With a boost from Thousand Ray Pegasus,
**[19:04] Suiko**
Raguel attacks!
**[19:07] Suiko**
Pegasus's skill activates!
**[19:09] Suiko**
+10,000 power!
**[19:12] Kourin**
33,000 power!
**[19:14] Rekka**
Go!
**[19:19] Ibuki**
No guard!
**[19:22] Ibuki**
Damage check!
**[19:24] Kourin**
Now he's got 4 damage!
**[19:26] Rekka**
All right!
**[19:27] Suiko**
With a boost from Thousand Ray Pegasus,
**[19:30] Suiko**
Zerachiel attacks!
**[19:34] Suiko**
Pegasus's skill activates!
**[19:36] Suiko**
+10,000 power!
**[19:39] Ibuki**
No guard!
**[19:40] Suiko**
Twin drive!
**[19:42] Suiko**
First check!
**[19:44] Suiko**
Second check!
**[19:46] Rekka**
She got a critical!
**[19:48] Suiko**
I give all of the effects to Zerachiel!
**[19:50] Kourin**
Now she's got 46,000 power!
**[19:54] Suiko**
Receive the judgment of love!
**[20:25] Nome**
I see...
**[20:27] Nome**
The rewriting of the melody
was supposed to return tranquility,
**[20:33] Nome**
but it only damaged your psyche even further.
**[20:37] Nome**
Destiny can be such a nuisance.
**[20:43] Greion**
Good grief.
**[20:46] Greion**
You couldn't put up even a decent fight?
**[20:48] Greion**
You disappoint me.
**[20:50] Ibuki**
I should be the one saying that!
**[20:53] Ibuki**
Using you will be the last thing I ever do!
**[21:00] Kourin**
What's wrong, Suiko?
**[21:01] Rekka**
You won, but you look unsatisfied.
**[21:04] Suiko**
Of course I'm not satisfied!
**[21:06] Suiko**
How could I be, with a fight like that?!
**[21:09] Suiko**
Let's do it once more.
No holding back this time!
**[21:13] Kourin**
Huh? Is she back to her old self?
**[21:16] Rekka**
Maybe?
**[21:17] Kourin**
Congratulations, Suiko!
**[21:18] Rekka**
Now it's goodbye to you
giving fans the cold shoulder!
**[21:23] Ibuki**
I'm...
**[21:25] Ibuki**
...giving up... Vanguard!
**[21:29] Suiko**
What do you mean?
**[21:30] Ibuki**
This deck...
**[21:32] Ibuki**
I don't need it anymore!
**[21:35] Leon**
Are you sure about that?
**[21:36] Ibuki**
Who are you?
**[21:38] Leon**
Leon Soryu.
**[21:40] Jillian**
He's last year's Asia champion!
**[21:42] Sharlene**
Don't tell us you don't know of him.
**[21:45] Leon**
I was watching your fight.
**[21:49] Leon**
It was a boring fight
where you weren't even prepared
**[21:52] Leon**
to atone for your past self.
**[21:54] Ibuki**
What?!
**[21:55] Leon**
To me, it just looks like
you're trying to run away from destiny.
**[21:59] Ibuki**
And what do you know about me?!
**[22:01] Leon**
If an angry wind still blows within you,
**[22:06] Leon**
then prove it...
**[22:08] Leon**
...with a Vanguard fight!
**[23:46] Narrator**

**[24:16] Greion**
Hey, Mr. Ibuki.
**[24:17] Ibuki**
Why are you talking to me like that, Greion?
**[24:20] Greion**
Are you believe in tomorrow?
**[24:23] Ibuki**
Huh?
**[24:24] Greion**
Don't do your best that round,
and there won't be next round. Am I wrong...
**[24:29] Greion**
...Joe Ibuki?!
**[24:30] Ibuki**
Who the heck is Joe Ibuki?!
**[24:31] Greion**
Joe Ibuki!
**[24:32] Greion**
Fight with me! Fight!!
**[24:34] Suiko**
The Tatsunagi Foundation
will promote that match,

**[00:00] Ibuki**
This deck...
**[00:02] Ibuki**
I don't need it anymore!
**[00:05] Leon**
Are you sure about that?
**[00:07] Ibuki**
What?!
**[00:08] Leon**
To me, it just looks like
you're trying to run away from destiny.
**[00:12] Ibuki**
And what do you know about me?!
**[00:14] Leon**
If an angry wind still blows within you,
**[00:19] Leon**
then prove it...
**[00:21] Leon**
...with a Vanguard fight!
**[00:24] Ibuki**
What is with this mansion?
**[00:27] Ibuki**
Is there a rule that you have to replace
saying "Hello" with a Vanguard fight?
**[00:33] Greion**
Let's teach this brat who doesn't
know his place just how terrifying we are.
**[00:40] Greion**
It's simple, isn't it?
**[00:42] Greion**
All we have to do is delete him...
**[00:45] Leon**
I see. Then you agree to it?
**[00:58] Leon**
Let's get started.
**[01:11] Leon**
Stand up, my Vanguard!
**[01:11] Ibuki**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[01:16] Aichi**
For us, today is a day like any other.
**[01:20] Aichi**
We know we lost something precious.
**[01:24] Aichi**
Will we ever be able to connect again,
despite that interrupted fate?
***SIGN*** Dimension 8 The Last Delete End
**[03:10] Jillian**
He ended the turn with 2 damage...
**[03:13] Sharlene**
Leon has 1 damage.
**[03:15] Sharlene**
Let's see what he's got.
**[03:19] Ibuki**
I ride!
**[03:24] Ibuki**
Swift Deletor, Geali!
**[03:27] Ibuki**
Come to me, Hailing Deletor, Alba!
**[03:31] Ibuki**
Having called Alba,
**[03:33] Ibuki**
I'm able to superior call
Hailing Deletor, Elro from the Drop Zone.
**[03:38] Ibuki**
Additionally...
**[03:39] Ibuki**
I call Ferment Deletor, Gaen.
**[03:46] Leon**
Show me the power of your Deletors.
**[03:49] Ibuki**
Go, Alba!
**[03:54] Ibuki**
Now it's my turn!
**[03:57] Leon**
Dolphin Soldier!
**[04:01] Ibuki**
Drive check!
**[04:03] Ibuki**
Heal trigger!
**[04:06] Leon**
Thank you!
**[04:07] Dolphin**
No problem!
**[04:09] Ibuki**
Gaen, Elro, go!
**[04:21] Leon**
It's coming!
**[04:41] Ibuki**
My turn is over...
**[04:42] Leon**
What?!
**[04:43] Rekka**
It's the same as when he played against Su.
**[04:46] Kourin**
It's like he refuses to use a skill.
**[04:48] Suiko**
But if Elro's attack hits, he could Vanish
Delete one of his opponent's rear-guards.
**[04:55] Leon**
What do you think you're doing?
**[04:58] Ibuki**
It's your turn.
**[04:59] Leon**
Why didn't you use the Deletor's power?
**[05:02] Ibuki**
I can play however I want.
**[05:04] Ibuki**
And it's not like I asked for
this Deletor power in the first place.
**[05:09] Leon**
You really are running away
from your own destiny, aren't you?
**[05:14] Greion**
You can't run away.
**[05:16] Greion**
Not from me.
**[05:17] Greion**
For we are one, body and soul.
**[05:24] Ibuki**
Shut your mouth!
**[05:33] Ibuki**
Who's running away?!
**[05:36] Leon**
Then why won't you use your Deletor power?
**[05:39] Ibuki**
Well, aren't you stubborn?
**[05:41] Ibuki**
Listen, I'm not playing
against you because I want to.
**[05:45] Jillian**
Hey! You're being rude to Leon!
**[05:48] Sharlene**
H-Hey, Jillian!
**[05:53] Ibuki**
This brat is the one who's rude!
**[05:56] Ibuki**
You're not satisfied with simply
coercing someone into fighting you?!
**[05:59] Ibuki**
You insist on how I should play, too?!
**[06:01] Ibuki**
How dare you!
**[06:04] Leon**
Don't disappoint me.
**[06:08] Ibuki**
Sorry, but if you're
disappointed, that's on you.
**[06:12] Ibuki**
I just wanna get this fight over with,
and then get rid of this cursed deck.
**[06:17] Leon**
You really are running away
from your own destiny, aren't you?
**[06:22] Leon**
Here I go!
**[06:25] Leon**
A slumbering giant dragon
awakens from the depths.
**[06:29] Leon**
I ride!
**[06:33] Leon**
Blue Storm Dragon, Maelstrom!
**[06:37] Leon**
Imaginary Gift!
**[06:39] Leon**
Accel II!
**[06:43] Leon**
Everyone, gather to me!
**[06:50] Jillian**
There it is! His four-pronged attack!
**[06:52] Sharlene**
Get him, Leon!
**[06:54] Leon**
Go forth, Algos!
**[07:04] Leon**
Judgment Maelstrom!
**[07:09] Leon**
Twin drive.
**[07:11] Leon**
Critical trigger!
**[07:19] Leon**
Algos! Once more!
**[07:21] Algos**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[07:25] Suiko**
If that gets through,
Maelstrom will stand again!
**[07:29] Ibuki**
I guard with Lady Healer!
**[07:31] Ibuki**
Elro intercepts!
**[07:35] Leon**
You blocked it, as expected.
**[07:38] Leon**
But, in that case...
**[07:40] Leon**
Coral Assault attacks your Vanguard.
**[07:43] Ibuki**
I guard!
**[07:47] Leon**
So he doesn't intend to go down easily?
**[07:49] Leon**
My other Coral Assault
also attacks your Vanguard!
**[07:54] Ibuki**
No guard!
**[07:55] Ibuki**
Damage check.
**[08:03] Leon**
Well, it's your turn.
**[08:07] Ibuki**
Stand and draw.
**[08:15] Greion**
I'm flattered...
**[08:17] Greion**
Being drawn with such perfect timing as this.
**[08:20] Greion**
You must really love me.
**[08:23] Ibuki**
I told you!
**[08:24] Ibuki**
Using you will be the last thing I ever do!
**[08:28] Greion**
Then you don't mind losing?
**[08:35] Ibuki**
I ride!
**[08:49] Ibuki**
Docking Deletor, Greion!
**[08:53] Ibuki**
Imaginary Gift!
**[08:55] Ibuki**
Force!
**[09:00] Ibuki**
Everyone, get over here!
**[09:08] Leon**
Now you'll show me the power of the Deletors.
**[09:13] Greion**
I'd feel bad for the kid if you let him down.
**[09:18] Greion**
Let's show him my...
**[09:21] Greion**
...no, our power.
**[09:26] Leon**
You'll skip using it yet again?!
**[09:30] Ibuki**
Shut up already!
**[09:32] Ibuki**
If you wanna see it that badly,
then I'll show you!
**[09:35] Ibuki**
This is Delete!
**[09:37] Ibuki**
Feast your eyes!
**[10:27] Nome**
Leon, this farce is over.
**[10:29] Leon**
No, Nome. It's not over yet.
**[10:33] Leon**
The wind is still blowing from him.
**[10:40] Leon**
Also, he told me...
**[10:42] Ibuki**
If you wanna see it that badly,
then I'll show you!
**[10:45] Ibuki**
This is Delete!
**[10:47] Leon**
This can't end without me seeing Delete.
**[10:58] Leon**
Or will I not get to see it, after all?
**[11:03] Ibuki**
Alba attacks Coral Assault!
**[11:07] Leon**
Algos intercepts!
**[11:12] Ibuki**
Here I come!
**[11:17] Ibuki**
Heal trigger!
**[11:18] Ibuki**
I give the power to Elro!
**[11:27] Nome**
Greion's attack hit the Vanguard, which means...
**[11:31] Suiko**
He can bind one rear-guard.
**[11:35] Leon**
I'd better see it this time.
**[11:47] Ibuki**
Gaen boosts.
**[11:49] Ibuki**
Elro attacks your Vanguard!
**[11:55] Leon**
I guard with two Battleship Intelligence units!
**[12:00] Ibuki**
My turn is over...
**[12:03] Leon**
4 to 3, and it's my turn.
**[12:05] Leon**
It seems your body has an adverse reaction
whenever you use the power of a Deletor.
**[12:13] Leon**
That's unfortunate, but now
I'll put you out of your misery.
**[12:17] Leon**
It's the least I could do.
**[12:19] Ibuki**
No more tedious talk!
**[12:20] Ibuki**
Just do it!
**[12:22] Jillian**
You should show Leon more gratitude!
**[12:24] Sharlene**
Jillian! He'll scowl at you again!
**[12:27] Jillian**
I don't care, Sharlene!
**[12:36] Leon**
I ride!
**[12:37] Leon**
Blue Storm Supreme Dragon, Glory Maelstrom!
**[12:44] Leon**
I am justice!
**[12:46] Leon**
The creator of order!
**[12:48] Leon**
The guardian of omniscience that judges fools!
**[12:50] Leon**
Imaginary Gift, Accel II!
**[12:53] Leon**
Come, Tear Knight, Theo!
**[13:01] Rekka**
A five-pronged attack?!
**[13:02] Nome**
And due to Glory Maelstrom's skill,
Ibuki can use only one card to guard.
**[13:10] Nome**
He can't intercept, either.
**[13:15] Jillian**
Time for you to go to Hades!
**[13:17] Sharlene**
Hades...
**[13:19] Leon**
All right. Let's finish this.
**[13:22] Ibuki**
Gatario!
**[13:24] Leon**
Terminal Maelstrom!
**[13:33] Leon**
Twin drive!
**[13:34] Leon**
First check!
**[13:36] Leon**
Critical trigger!
**[13:37] Leon**
I give the extra critical to
Glory Maelstrom, and the power to Theo!
**[13:41] Leon**
Second check!
**[13:45] Ibuki**
Damage check!
**[13:47] Ibuki**
First check!
**[13:48] Ibuki**
Second check!
**[13:49] Ibuki**
Draw trigger!
**[13:55] Sharlene**
That makes 5 damage!
**[13:56] Jillian**
Finish him off, Leon!
**[13:59] Leon**
Theo attacks!
**[14:01] Suiko**
Theo has 33,000 power now!
**[14:04] Suiko**
Can he block that with just one guardian...?
**[14:06] Ibuki**
I guard with Asteroid Wolf!
**[14:14] Leon**
I'm not done yet.
**[14:20] Rekka**
This time, the power is 39,000!
**[14:22] Ibuki**
Lady Healer!
**[14:26] Jillian**
This time for sure!
**[14:27] Ibuki**
Cosmo Wreath!
**[14:29] Jillian**
It can't be...
**[14:30] Sharlene**
He blocked a five-pronged attack?!
**[14:38] Leon**
You have a great deck.
**[14:42] Leon**
It's as if the units are supporting you,
urging you to win.
**[14:48] Ibuki**
What?!
**[14:51] Ibuki**
I've heard those words before... somewhere...
**[14:56] Aichi**
I can sense them.
**[14:58] Aichi**
The deck, the units...
**[15:00] Aichi**
They're all giving me their support!
**[15:05] Ibuki**
I fought him... here...
**[15:17] Ibuki**
You guys...
**[15:19] Ibuki**
Is this the planet Cray?
**[15:26] Nome**
Your Deletors are vanguards sent out
by the ruler of the wandering planet Brandt.
**[15:31] Ibuki**
But none of you units
are from the planet Cray, so how...?
**[15:52] Ibuki**
I see...
**[15:53] Ibuki**
At that time, all of you
became inhabitants of Cray...
**[16:01] Ibuki**
But when was that?!
**[16:06] Nome**
It seems you've recalled a little.
**[16:10] Leon**
Is something wrong?
**[16:12] Ibuki**
No...
**[16:15] Ibuki**
It's nothing.
**[16:18] Ibuki**
So they're supporting me?
**[16:20] Ibuki**
They're encouraging me to win?
**[16:30] Ibuki**
It's my turn, right?
**[16:33] Leon**
Yes.
**[16:35] Ibuki**
Then I'll also...
**[16:36] Ibuki**
...Ride The Vanguard!
**[16:55] Ibuki**
My avatar, Waving Deletor, Greidhol!
**[17:00] Ibuki**
Imaginary Gift, Force I!
**[17:03] Ibuki**
Greidhol's skill activates!
**[17:12] Ibuki**
Vanish Delete!
**[17:19] Leon**
Theo!
**[17:22] Ibuki**
As you said, this can't end
without you seeing Delete!
**[17:29] Ibuki**
Observe!
**[17:31] Ibuki**
Docking Release!
**[17:35] Leon**
Glory Maelstrom!
**[17:42] Ibuki**
You should worry about yourself.
**[17:47] Leon**
I'm counting on you all!
**[17:49] Jillian**
The total shield amount is...
**[17:52] Sharlene**
35,000!
**[17:54] Rekka**
Greidhol's power is...
**[17:56] Kourin**
33,000!
**[17:58] Suiko**
If he draws even one critical...
**[18:01] Sharlene**
Leon will... lose?!
**[18:03] Ibuki**
Twin drive!
**[18:05] Ibuki**
First check!
**[18:07] Ibuki**
Second check!
**[18:09] Ibuki**
Critical trigger!
**[18:23] Ibuki**
Delete... End.
**[18:32] Sharlene**
Jillian!
**[18:33] Jillian**
Sharlene!
**[18:39] Ibuki**
Don't tell me that, since I deleted him...
**[18:44] Leon**
You certainly did show me your Deletor power.
**[18:48] Ibuki**
Have you lost your interest in Vanguard?!
**[18:52] Nome**
You needn't worry about that.
**[18:54] Nome**
Now that their connection
with Brandt has been severed,
**[18:58] Nome**
your Deletors no longer
possess their former power.
**[19:02] Ibuki**
I see...
**[19:04] Leon**
Is that how you really feel?
**[19:06] Leon**
A fight reveals everything about a person.
**[19:11] Leon**
You trust Vanguard, huh?
**[19:15] Leon**
Yes, you love Vanguard.
**[19:17] Ibuki**
Who does?!
**[19:19] Aichi**
That shows just how much you trust Vanguard.
**[19:23] Aichi**
Ibuki, you really do love Vanguard.
**[19:29] Ibuki**
So I did fight Aichi Sendou here...
**[19:37] Leon**
It seems the wind turbulence has calmed down.
**[19:41] Nome**
Why are we just standing around talking?
***SIGN*** "Get them something to drink."
***SIGN*** "Yes, Master."
**[20:00] Ibuki**
I feel like I'm finally going to
get a good night's sleep tonight.
**[20:09] Ibuki**
I'd better get going.
**[20:14] Ushimaru**
Um...
**[20:15] Suiko**
Is something wrong, Ushimaru?
**[20:18] Ushimaru**
You forgot your deck.
**[20:28] Nome**
Is that meant as atonement for your sins?
**[20:33] Ibuki**
My sins?!
**[20:41] Ibuki**
What's this card?
**[20:45] Nome**
Neon Messiah.
**[20:52] Ibuki**
Neon Messiah...
**[21:11] Ibuki**
Where are you guys going?!
**[21:22] Ibuki**
Are you saying I can use this?
**[21:25] Ibuki**
You're some neo-messiah.
**[21:28] Miwa**
What's a "neo-messiah"?
**[21:30] Kai**
A cheesy savior.
**[21:42] Nome**
Use it, for the sake of
doing what you need to do.
**[21:51] Ibuki**
Is that meant as sarcasm?
**[22:04] Ibuki**
In that case,
**[22:06] Ibuki**
I'll live life...
**[22:09] Ibuki**
...as a cheesy savior.
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card
is Leon's new ace in the hole,
**[23:51] Narrator**
Blue Storm Supreme Dragon, Glory Maelstrom!
***SIGN*** Blue Storm Supreme Dragon, Glory Maelstrom
**[23:54] Narrator**
Its skill only allows your opponent
one guardian per attack during that turn.
**[23:58] Narrator**
It also prevents Intercepts,
**[23:59] Narrator**
allowing your high-power attacks
to get through more easily!
**[24:02] Narrator**
If there's a "Maelstrom" in the Soul,
**[24:04] Narrator**
all of the front row units get +10,000 power!
**[24:07] Narrator**
By using consecutive attacks and
overwhelming suppressive power,
**[24:09] Narrator**
you can do a lot of damage at once!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card, you too can "Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Ren**
I wonder what time it is...
**[24:16] Rekka**
Just before nine!
**[24:17] Ren**
Aren't you Tatsunagi...
**[24:18] Rekka**
Rekka!
**[24:19] Ren**
I'm impressed you knew the time,
even without a watch.
**[24:21] Rekka**
I can tell time by Ushimaru's pompadour!
**[24:24] Rekka**
See how it stands up like that?
**[24:26] Rekka**
It reaches vertical by noon,
**[24:28] Rekka**
and droops back down by night.
**[24:29] Ushimaru**
R-Rekka, you use my hair as a clock?!
**[24:32] Rekka**
And that's not all!
Inside her pompadour...
**[24:34] Ushimaru**
Hey, stop it, Rekka!
**[24:36] Rekka**
...I've hidden this...
**[24:37] Rekka**
...and even this!
**[24:39] Ren**
Even that?!
***SIGN*** Dimension 9
Ruler's Resolution
**[24:40] Ushimaru**
Rekka, when did you--
**[24:41] Rekka**
And when I remove them...
**[24:42] Ushimaru**
Stop it!

Aichi! Aichi!
**[00:05] Emi**
Wake up, already! Today is...
**[00:08] Aichi**
It's a very important day.
**[00:12] Aichi**
The Vanguard Koshien starts today!
***SIGN*** The First Vanguard Koshien 4th Block Qualifying Round Hall
**[00:25] Shingo**
At last, Miyaji Academy's Cardfight Club
will have its first official match!
**[00:30] Misaki**
We have to get past the qualifier.
**[00:32] Naoki**
I can't wait!
**[00:38] Aichi**
Leon!
**[00:40] Leon**
I sense that a good wind will blow today.
**[00:46] Naitou**
Who's that global-looking boy?
**[00:49] Futabe**
Last year's Asia Circuit champion and the
Vanguard Koshien's ambassador, Leon Soryu.
**[00:56] Eru**
I see it! I can see it!
**[00:59] Eru**
In the near future...
**[01:01] Eru**
I see him fighting me on a much larger stage!
**[01:05] Maki**
Is that right?
**[01:07] Leon**
Today I'll be watching from
the commentator's seat.
**[01:10] Leon**
I have high expectations of you, Aichi Sendou.
**[01:13] Aichi**
Right!
***SIGN*** Fierce Fighting! The Vanguard Koshien

**[01:28] Miwa**
Suiko!
**[01:31] Gouki**
Are they participatin', too?
**[01:34] Koutei**
So it seems. Take a look.
**[01:37] Kai**
What are you doing?
**[01:40] Kai**
Let's go.
**[01:42] Miwa**
W-Wait up, Kai!
**[01:47] Mamoru**
I'm looking forward to your fights.
***SIGN*** Fierce Fighting! The Vanguard Koshien
**[01:51] Suiko**
The curtain now rises on this
Vanguard Koshien regional qualifier.
**[01:55] Kourin**
There are ten blocks nationwide,
each holding a qualifier.
**[01:58] Kourin**
The top three schools in each block
then go on to the actual tournament.
**[02:02] Rekka**
On this program, we'll be love-love
updating you about all the passionate battles!
**[02:08] Suiko**
Now, let's hear it for the first high school
ready to enter the tournament.
**[02:12] Rekka**
Wait a minute, Suiko.
**[02:14] Rekka**
The qualifier hasn't begun yet!
**[02:16] Kourin**
Have you forgotten, Rekka?
**[02:18] Kourin**
The champion school from last year
can automatically take part in the tournament.
**[02:23] Rekka**
Oh yeah, that's right!
**[02:26] Suiko**
Let's give a warm welcome to the winner of
last year's Vanguard High School Championship,
**[02:30] Suiko**
Fukuhara High School!
**[02:34] Kourin**
Representing the club here today
is their vice-captain, Asaka Narumi.
**[02:40] Aichi**
Not their captain, Ren?
**[02:43] Misaki**
You don't want a guy
like that on national TV.
**[02:48] Kawanami**
Do you have a cold, Ren?
**[02:50] Ren**
I'm not sure...
**[02:53] Suiko**
Please give us a few words.
**[02:57] Asaka**
As we get to start at the main event,
of course our goal is to win it twice in a row!
**[03:05] Suiko**
I would expect no less from
the school that won last year.
**[03:18] Announcer**
Members from Miyaji Academy,
please come to the second booth.
**[03:23] Misaki**
Let's go, Aichi.
**[03:25] Aichi**
Right!
**[03:27] Kourin**
Me, too.
**[03:30] Rekka**
You wanted to participate?
**[03:35] Kourin**
Maybe I did...?
**[03:39] Suiko**
That was Asaka Narumi
from Fukuhara High School.
**[03:42] Suiko**
Thank you very much!
**[03:44] Asaka**
But at this rate, winning twice in a row...
**[03:47] Asaka**
...is impossible!
***SIGN*** Dimension 9 Ruler's Resolution
***SIGN*** Fukuhara High School
**[05:26] Kawanami**
Welcome back, Asaka.
**[05:29] Asaka**
There aren't many people here.
**[05:31] Kawanami**
Today's club meeting was optional, so...
**[05:34] Asaka**
But the qualifier has already started!
**[05:37] Asaka**
Why isn't everyone more fired up about it?!
**[05:43] Asaka**
Last year, three of us
participated in the tournament.
**[05:46] Asaka**
Ren, Tetsu and I won through to the end.
**[05:50] Asaka**
But then Tetsu graduated...
**[05:54] Asaka**
...and now they require
five-member teams for the tournament.
**[05:58] Asaka**
Ren and I can't be the
only ones pulling our weight here!
**[06:03] Ren**
Asaka, I saw you!
**[06:06] Asaka**
Ren!
**[06:08] Asaka**
My apologies for announcing that
we intend to win the tournament.
**[06:12] Ren**
It's fine. That is the club's goal, after all.
**[06:17] Asaka**
Still, we haven't yet decided on
the rest of the team members,
**[06:20] Asaka**
and Tetsu refuses to coach us.
**[06:23] Ren**
It'll be fine.
**[06:25] Ren**
Tetsu finally found a clue.
***SIGN*** Cardshop Castle

**[06:31] Tetsu**
Next, Kishida.
**[06:33] Kishida/Opponent**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[06:36] Kishida**
Um...
**[06:41] Kishida**
I ride!
**[06:43] Tetsu**
Kishida and the others have recovered
to the point of being able to fight normally.
**[06:49] Tetsu**
But we won't be able to win the tournament
unless they recover as well as Kyou and Kai did.
**[06:57] Tetsu**
Winning twice in a row
is no more than a dream.
**[07:07] Kourin**
Miyaji Academy, led by
Asia champion Aichi Sendou,
**[07:11] Kourin**
have easily won the first and
second rounds, so they'll be back.
**[07:14] Shin**
Misaki! There you are!
**[07:18] Misaki**
That's enough.
***SIGN*** Cardshop Castle
**[07:26] Members**
Thank you very much!
**[07:29] Tetsu**
Be careful going home.
**[07:40] Tetsu**
Why don't you come in out of the rain?
**[07:54] Tetsu**
I didn't think you would come to see me.
**[07:59] Tetsu**
I thought you hated Vanguard.
**[08:03] Ibuki**
I finally realized it.
**[08:07] Ibuki**
What I really hated were the jerks
who used Vanguard to bully people.
**[08:12] Ibuki**
Those who abused it.
**[08:16] Ibuki**
For some reason, that led me
to hate Vanguard itself.
**[08:22] Ibuki**
And because of that,
I stole Vanguard from many people.
**[08:28] Ibuki**
I want to save them.
**[08:31] Tetsu**
Can you do it?!
**[08:35] Tetsu**
You told me you didn't know how.
**[08:38] Ibuki**
That was then.
**[08:40] Ibuki**
But now I have this.
**[08:45] Tetsu**
Currently, I'm effectively an amateur.
**[08:47] Tetsu**
Are you sure?
**[08:51] Ibuki**
All you have to do is fight me.
**[08:56] Tetsu**
Okay.
**[09:00] Ibuki**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[09:00] Tetsu**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[09:16] Rekka**
It's the second day of the qualifier!
**[09:18] Suiko**
We're seeing more and more heated battles.
**[09:30] Ren**
There's Aichi! Good luck!
**[09:33] Asaka**
This really isn't the time to be a spectator.
**[09:36] Tetsu**
Asaka's right.
**[09:39] Asaka**
Tetsu!
**[09:40] Tetsu**
The tournament is almost upon us.
**[09:42] Tetsu**
Starting today, I'm going to crack down!
**[09:46] Ren**
I'm glad you're motivated, Tetsu,
but that alone doesn't mean anything.
**[09:52] Tetsu**
I have a strategy.
**[09:53] Tetsu**
I'd like for a certain student to join the club.
**[09:57] Ren**
That'll make us stronger?
**[09:59] Tetsu**
I guarantee it.
**[10:01] Tetsu**
Enter.
**[10:07] Kishida**
He's...
**[10:12] Tetsu**
I'm sure you all know Kouji Ibuki.
**[10:15] Asaka**
Ren!
**[10:16] Asaka**
It's his fault that so many
of our members are now useless!
**[10:20] Asaka**
I don't want him in the club!
**[10:22] Ren**
How should we resolve this?
**[10:25] Ren**
Just joking. By this point,
I don't think it even needs saying.
**[10:30] Ibuki**
I'm ready.
**[10:32] Asaka**
I'll bounce you out of here.
**[10:37] Ibuki**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[10:37] Asaka**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[10:42] Ibuki**
I ride.
**[10:46] Ibuki**
Neon Messiah.
**[10:48] Ren**
Neon... Messiah?
**[10:52] Kawanami**
Never seen that before.

**[11:32] Kishida**
His deck is different from before!
**[11:36] Tetsu**
That's right.
**[11:38] Tetsu**
This is Ibuki's new power.
**[11:53] Ibuki**
I call!
**[11:57] Ibuki**
Here I come!
**[11:58] Asaka**
Please! Dynamite Juggler!
**[12:04] Ibuki**

**[12:07] Ibuki**

**[12:19] Ibuki**
Lock and draw.
**[12:21] Asaka**
Lock?
**[12:22] Ibuki**
I call a card face down from my deck.
**[12:25] Ibuki**
I draw one card.
**[12:31] Tetsu**
That card is bound by a spell.
**[12:35] Tetsu**
Right now, it isn't even a unit.
**[12:37] Tetsu**
But at the end of the turn, it will awaken.
**[12:40] Ren**
Tetsu, you sound like your old self again.
**[12:43] Tetsu**
That's thanks to Ibuki.
**[12:46] Asaka**
No guard!
**[12:52] Ibuki**
My turn is over!
**[12:53] Ibuki**
I unlock Destiny Dealer.
**[12:58] Koutei**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[13:00] Koutei**
I win, right?
**[13:06] Mamoru**
I managed to win.
**[13:07] Gouki**
This'll settle it!
**[13:11] Suiko**
That's Harumi High School for you!
**[13:13] Suiko**
They've secured a place in
the semifinals without any issue!
**[13:16] Kourin**
Aichi Sendou's Miyaji Academy
has also won its way to the semifinals.
**[13:21] Rekka**
Aichi is cute!
**[13:23] Kourin**
But he's surprisingly strong-willed.
**[13:26] Rekka**
How do you know?
**[13:30] Kourin**
I can just sort of tell...
**[13:33] Suiko**
Hitsue High School is now in the eye of the
qualifier typhoon, with two wins and two losses.
**[13:39] Suiko**
We'll know the outcome soon.

**[13:50] Kourin**
They did it.
**[13:51] Kourin**
Hitsue High School is also
moving on to the semifinals.
**[13:54] Rekka**
I heard that Hitsue High's Kai
**[13:55] Rekka**
has never participated in an
official tournament before this one!
**[13:59] Suiko**
But in this qualifier, he's undefeated!
**[14:02] Suiko**
Isn't that amazing?
**[14:03] Leon**
He hides a strong wind within his heart.
**[14:07] Leon**
So this is no surprise.
**[14:10] Leon**
However...
**[14:12] Kai**
I still have a ways to go.

But everyone's got their pep back,
though their eyes looked dead a moment ago.
**[18:18] Asaka**
This is where it ends.
**[18:20] Asaka**
Gun Salute Dragon, End of Stage!
**[18:37] Ibuki**
I guard.
**[18:38] Ibuki**
Lady Healer of the Torn World.
**[18:45] Ibuki**
I have to make amends for my past.
**[18:49] Ibuki**
To do that, I'm going to the Vanguard Koshien!
***SIGN*** The First Vanguard Koshien 4th Block Qualifying Round Hall
**[18:54] Suiko**
That settles it!
**[18:57] Aichi**
I won!
**[18:59] Naoki**
You did it, Aichi!
**[19:02] Suiko**
The fourth-block representatives
for the Vanguard Koshien:
**[19:05] Suiko**
The winner, Harumi High School!
**[19:09] Suiko**
The runner-up, Hitsue High School!
**[19:10] Morikawa**
Yay!
**[19:12] Suiko**
And Miyaji Academy, beaten by Harumi
in the semifinals, makes the third!
**[19:21] Kai**
The battle is about to begin...
**[19:23] Kai**
...Aichi.
**[19:26] Ibuki**
The battle has just begun.
**[19:31] Ibuki**
Destiny's skill activates!
**[19:38] Ibuki**
I'll show you a real series of attacks!
**[19:41] Ibuki**
Go, Blast Monk!
**[19:44] Monk**
Out of the way!
**[19:45] Ibuki**
Skill activates!
**[19:47] Ibuki**
Bind!
**[19:51] Ibuki**
I used Bind on a grade 2
or higher, so I Soul Charge.
**[19:55] Asaka**
That kind of attack won't work on me!
**[19:58] Ibuki**
You're up next, Lady Battler!
**[20:02] Ibuki**
Skill activates!
**[20:07] Asaka**
It's no use!
**[20:08] Ibuki**
Join us, Destiny!
**[20:12] Ibuki**
Harmonics Messiah's skill activates!
**[20:21] Asaka**
Please, Candy Clown!
**[20:26] Ibuki**
Again, Harmonics Messiah's skill activates!
**[20:39] Asaka**
Wh-What?!
**[20:40] Kawanami**
The locked cards...
**[20:42] Kishida**
...got unlocked!
**[20:44] Tetsu**
With Harmonics Messiah,
at the end of a battle,
**[20:48] Tetsu**
the player can unlock any locked cards,
and then draw that same number of cards.
**[20:53] Tetsu**
Furthermore, all the front row
rear-guards get +15,000 power!
**[21:00] Ibuki**
Go!
**[21:00] Ibuki**
Blast Monk! Duskblade!
**[21:13] Asaka**
Damage check.
**[21:15] Asaka**
No trigger.
**[21:19] Asaka**
I lost.
**[21:22] Ibuki**
As you promised, I'll be the anchor for--
**[21:25] Kishida**
Not so fast!
**[21:27] Kishida**
If you want to be our anchor, defeat me first!
**[21:31] Asaka**
Kishida...
**[21:32] Kawanami**
Leave this to me!
**[21:34] Member**
No, me!
**[21:35] Member**
Me!
**[21:36] Member**
I'll do it!
**[21:37] Ibuki**
Come at me.
**[21:38] Member**
I'll fight him!
**[21:38] Ibuki**
I'll take you all on.
**[21:39] Member**
No, me!
**[21:40] Member**
I'll do it, too!
**[21:41] Member**
No, me!
**[21:44] Tetsu**
Ibuki's current deck seems to have something
that generates motivation for Vanguard.
**[21:52] Ren**
Asaka, just accept this.
**[21:54] Ren**
Both his club membership
and him being our anchor.
**[22:02] Asaka**
If you insist, Ren...
**[22:10] Ibuki**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[22:10] Kishida**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Ibuki's
new ace in the hole, Harmonics Messiah.
***SIGN*** Harmonics Messiah
**[23:53] Narrator**
Whenever this unit attacks, the player
draws one card of their choice from the deck,
**[23:56] Narrator**
and places it on a rear-guard circle
as a locked card face down.
**[23:59] Narrator**
And at the end of the battle
in which it attacked,
**[24:01] Narrator**
the player can pick any number of locked cards
and unlock them by turning them face-up.
**[24:05] Narrator**
The player draws a card
for each unlocked card,
**[24:07] Narrator**
and the two rear-guards in
the front row get +15,000 power!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card, you too can "Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Ren**
So Ibuki is our anchor.
**[24:18] Ren**
He can be our team captain, too!
**[24:19] Asaka**
No way, Ren!
**[24:21] Asaka**
The captain is the face of the club.
**[24:22] Asaka**
He's not worthy of being the captain
of our school's Vanguard club!
**[24:26] Asaka**
There's only one person for that! Only one!
**[24:28] Asaka**
That's you, Ren! You're our eternal captain!
**[24:30] Ren**
Are you saying I can't graduate?
**[24:32] Asaka**
N-No, I didn't mean--
**[24:33] Ren**
Why don't you do it, Asaka?
**[24:35] Ren**
You're older than me.
**[24:36] Asaka**
Me?
**[24:37] Asaka**
No, I couldn't be the captain!
**[24:39] Kawanami**
Yo, Captain Asaka!
***SIGN*** Dimension 10
Stand Up!! The Vanguard Koshien!!
**[24:40] Asaka**
Call me "Your Majesty"!
**[24:41] Kawanami**
Your Majesty!
**[24:43] Ren**
So it's okay if you're the queen?

**[00:02] Naoki**
We really get to stay here?
**[00:06] Naoki**
In this fancy hotel?
**[00:09] Maki**
The Tatsunagi Foundation
designated this as our lodging.
**[00:12] Shingo**
The Tatsunagi Foundation is so generous!
**[00:15] Naitou**
It's a fitting place to stay
for a global fellow like me.
**[00:18] Suwabe**
I agree.
**[00:21] Eru**
Is this where I'm supposed to heal
my wings, wounded in battle?!
**[00:27] Aichi**
I checked us in.
**[00:30] Naoki**
Do you believe this?!
They've even got a huge fight room!
***SIGN*** Fight Room
**[00:33] Shingo**
Let's check it out right now!
**[00:36] Misaki**
After we drop our luggage off at the rooms.
**[00:39] Naoki/Shingo**
Okay...
**[00:44] Miwa**
Now for the finish!
**[00:45] Aichi**
Miwa!
**[00:49] Miwa**
Aichi!
**[00:50] Miwa**
You finally got here.
**[00:51] Aichi**
So Hitsue High is staying here too, huh?
**[00:54] Miwa**
What are you talking about?
**[00:56] Miwa**
All of the participants in the
Vanguard Koshien are staying here.
**[01:00] Naoki**
Huh, really?
**[01:03] Miwa**
That's not all.
**[01:04] Miwa**
I heard the suite on the top floor
is occupied by Suiko...
**[01:08] Miwa**
Well, not just her.
**[01:09] Miwa**
All three members of ULTRARARE
are staying there!
**[01:12] Shingo**
What?! Rekka's staying at this hotel?!
**[01:15] Naoki**
Huh? Where's that guy?
**[01:17] Miwa**
"That guy"?
**[01:17] Naoki**
You know, him. The guy who'd
normally break in here with "Kourin!"
**[01:23] Miwa**
If you mean Morikawa, he's over there.
**[01:27] Naoki**
What's he got, a stomachache?
**[01:28] Miwa**
He's making the oath of fair play tomorrow.
**[01:35] Miwa**
If you're looking for Kai, he's in his room.
**[01:38] Aichi**
No, I wasn't...
**[01:40] Miwa**
It's written all over your face.
"I'm worried about Kai."
**[01:44] Aichi**
Oh, come on!
**[02:08] Naoki**
Aichi!
**[02:10] Naoki**
Can't ya sleep?
**[02:13] Aichi**
Nope.
**[02:18] Aichi**
But I know I need to.
**[02:21] Naoki**
Let's win this thing. For sure.
**[02:25] Naoki**
Remember what you said?
**[02:27] Naoki**
"I have an overwhelming desire to win."
**[02:31] Aichi**
Right.
**[02:32] Misaki**
Oh, you guys are here, too.
**[02:35] Naoki**
You can't sleep either, Boss?
**[02:37] Misaki**
Don't call me "Boss."
**[02:38] Shingo**
Of course we can't sleep!
**[02:41] Shingo**
Just think about what's waiting
for us over there tomorrow!
**[02:49] Naoki**
Yeah.
**[02:52] Suiko**
You're still awake?
**[02:59] Kourin**
We're in a world in which anyone
can be connected through Vanguard.
**[03:04] Suiko**
Where did that come from?
**[03:06] Kourin**
I feel like someone told me that.
**[03:10] Suiko**
That's why you're putting together a deck,
even though you're not participating?
**[03:17] Suiko**
Still, get to bed. Tomorrow's a long day.
**[03:20] Kourin**
I will.
**[03:21] Suiko**
Goodnight.
**[03:33] Aichi**
For us, today is a day like any other.
**[03:37] Aichi**
We know we lost something precious.
**[03:41] Aichi**
Will we ever be able to connect again,
despite that interrupted fate?
***SIGN*** Dimension 10 Stand Up!! Vanguard Koshien!!
**[05:26] Announcer**
Welcome to the first Vanguard Koshien.
**[05:32] Miya**
Listen to the crowd roar!
**[05:39] Miya**
As Nome Tatsunagi, the head of
the Tatsunagi Foundation and sponsor,
**[05:43] Miya**
and the supporters, the three
members of ULTRARARE, look on,
**[05:46] Miya**
the first-ever Vanguard Koshien begins!
***SIGN*** Fierce Fighting! The Vanguard Koshien
**[05:50] Miya**
The Vanguard Fight High School Championship
has been reborn as an upgraded tournament!
**[05:57] Miya**
I'm MC Miya, reporting live.
**[06:01] Miya**
And Leon Soryu, the ambassador of this
tournament, will be providing commentary.
**[06:06] Miya**
May we have a few words?
**[06:10] Leon**
There's a fine wind.
**[06:12] Jillian**
Listen, you...
**[06:13] Jillian**
If Leon says "a fine wind,"
he means a fine wind!
**[06:16] Sharlene**
That's right. You understand, don't you?
**[06:19] Miya**
Exactly! A fine wind is certainly blowing.
**[06:23] Miya**
Oops, I should have introduced them before.
**[06:25] Miya**
They are Jillian and Sharlene Chen.
**[06:28] Jillian/Sharlene**
Thank you!
**[06:31] Announcer**
The teams are entering the stadium.
**[06:35] Miya**
The winners of the qualifying round
of each block are making their entrance.
**[06:40] Miya**
The first team to hit the field is...
***SIGN*** Victory Vanguard Koshien
**[06:44] Miya**
The winners of last year's
High School Championship:
**[06:48] Miya**
Fukuhara High School!
**[06:50] Miya**
Vice-captain Asaka Narumi is holding
the Vanguard High School Championship flag!
***SIGN*** Fukuhara High School
**[06:59] Miya**
For last year's competition,
there were three members per team,
**[07:03] Miya**
but this year, there are
five members per team.
**[07:06] Miya**
And their captain from last year,
Tetsu Shinjou, has graduated.
**[07:10] Miya**
Will they be able to show us the same
overwhelming strength they displayed last year?
**[07:16] Tetsu**
Don't worry.
**[07:18] Ibuki**
What a pain.
**[07:21] Miya**
What's this?
**[07:22] Miya**
That's strange.
**[07:24] Miya**
I don't see the pillar of the team,
captain Ren Suzugamori.
**[07:30] Asaka**
Where's Ren?!
**[07:31] Kawanami**
He was here just a minute ago...
**[07:34] Asaka**
I'll look for him!
**[07:35] Kawanami**
Wait, Asaka!
**[07:40] Ren**
Wake me when the opening ceremony starts...
**[07:43] Tetsu**
Uh, it already has...
**[07:52] Miya**
Abashiri Bangaichi High School!
**[07:54] Miya**
Tosa Ipponzuri Girls' School!
***SIGN*** Sata Andagi High School
**[07:57] Miya**
Sata Andagi High School!
**[08:01] Miya**
Powerhouse teams that won the qualifying round
are taking the field, one after another!
**[08:06] Miya**
And which team is coming out next?
**[08:10] Mom**
All right!
**[08:11] Miya**
The high school led by
the current Asia champion!
**[08:14] Leon**
They're finally coming out?
***SIGN*** Miyaji Academy
**[08:24] Miya**
Their captain beat Leon Soryu
at this year's Asia Circuit.
**[08:28] Miya**
Miyaji Academy, led by Aichi Sendou!
**[08:32] Emi**
Aichi!
**[08:34] Kamui**
Brother Aichi!
**[08:36] Aichi**
Emi! Kamui!
**[08:39] Shin**
Misaki!
**[08:41] Shin**
I'm behind you all the way!
**[08:44] Misaki**
That idiot really did close the shop
so he could come here.
**[08:47] Naoki**
Cut 'im some slack. He's happy for you.
**[08:54] Shingo**
That's right. When you think that there are
people rooting for us, isn't it encouraging?
**[09:01] Misaki**
I guess...
**[09:05] Miya**
Miyaji Academy has the potential
to be in the spotlight here,
**[09:09] Miya**
but aside from Sendou,
**[09:10] Miya**
the members are unknown newcomers
with no records from official competitions.
***SIGN*** Miyaji Academy
**[09:15] Miya**
What kind of battles will they show us?
**[09:20] Rekka**
There's the "surprisingly strong-willed" Aichi...
**[09:23] Rekka**
So that kind of boy is your type, Kou?
**[09:26] Kourin**
All I did was tell you my impression of him!
**[09:29] Rekka**
Su, do *you* think that's all it is?
**[09:32] Suiko**
Who can say?
**[09:35] Kourin**
Jeez, Suiko, you too?
**[09:38] Miya**
Coming out next is...
**[09:41] Miya**
...Hitsue High School!
**[09:47] Miya**
And the school that defeated Miyaji and Hitsue
to achieve victory in the fourth block qualifier:
***SIGN*** Harumi High School
**[09:53] Miya**
Harumi High School!
**[09:59] Kamui**
Ack! Nagisa!
**[10:01] Nagisa**
Kamui!
**[10:02] Kamui**
What're ya doing there?!
**[10:05] Nagisa**
Thanks for cheering me on!
**[10:07] Kamui**
L-Like I'd cheer you on!
**[10:09] Emi**
You two are as close as ever.
**[10:11] Kamui**
N-No, we're not! There's someone
who means a lot more to me...
**[10:15] Emi**
I'll take an orange juice, please.
**[10:19] Announcer**
And now for the oath of fair play!
**[10:22] Morikawa**
Here!
**[10:26] Shin**
Morikawa's going to do it?!
**[10:28] Mark**
Morikawa!
**[10:31] Shin**
Mark!
**[10:32] Mark**
Shin'emon!
**[10:34] Mark**
Oh, Shin!
**[10:37] Emi**
Wh-Who's that?
**[10:39] Shin**
This is...
**[10:40] Kamui**
That's Mr. Mark. He teaches
history at my middle school.
**[10:44] Shin**
Kamui, you know Mark?
**[10:46] Mark**
He's my student!
**[10:49] Shin**
Oh, I see. That's right,
Kamui goes to Hitsue Middle School.
**[10:52] Emi**
Then you were also Aichi's teacher.
**[10:55] Mark**
Aichi? You mean Sendou?
**[10:58] Emi**
Y-Yes. I'm his younger sister, Emi.
**[11:02] Mark**
Well, it's a pleasure to meet you.
**[11:06] Mark**
Aichi has become a fine young man.
**[11:09] Emi**
Thank you!
**[11:11] Kamui**
Manager, how do you know Mark?
**[11:14] Shin**
We've been best buddies since high school.
**[11:17] Mark**
We're just like Yoshitsugu Otani
and Mitsunari Ishida.
**[11:21] Kamui**
Who're they?
**[11:23] Morikawa**
Mark my words!
**[11:26] Shin**
Ah, so Morikawa and company
were also your students.
**[11:29] Mark**
Yes! I taught them, too.
**[11:33] Miya**
What's wrong, Morikawa?
**[11:36] Morikawa**
Let's get this over with...
**[11:39] Morikawa**
Hey, you jerks!
**[11:41] Morikawa**
I'm the leader of Hitsue High,
and I've come here to *win*!
**[11:46] Morikawa**
I'll accept a challenge from
anyone, anywhere, at any time!
**[11:54] Miwa**
Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi...
**[12:07] Morikawa**
I mean...
**[12:09] Morikawa**
...that's what our Toshiki Kai says!
**[12:13] Fighter A**
Toshiki Kai?!
**[12:15] Fighter B**
The "Solitary Fighter" is on Hitsue's team?!
**[12:18] Fighter C**
I thought he didn't participate
in official tournaments!
**[12:21] Miwa**
That moron!
**[12:26] Miya**
Certainly, the name
Toshiki Kai is on the roster.
**[12:30] Miya**
Could this be the same Toshiki Kai that
those in the know call the "Solitary Fighter"?
**[12:34] Morikawa**
Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that?
**[12:37] Morikawa**
In any case! We swear to fight fair and square!
**[12:43] Miya**
What an unprecedented oath of fair play!
***SIGN*** Vanguard Koshien
**[13:00] ULTRARARE**

Over the next six days,
we'll see a plethora of intense fights.
**[13:11] Rekka**
But right now, here's a
love-love update of today's results!
**[13:17] Naoki**
We safely made it to the second round.
**[13:19] Maki**
Excuse me, "safely"?
**[13:21] Maki**
You barely won your fight.
**[13:24] Naoki**
A-Aichi, let's visit the baths!
**[13:26] Aichi**
Sure.
**[13:27] Aichi**
You too, Shingo!
**[13:29] Shingo**
I-I'll just take a bath in the room...
**[13:32] Naoki**
What, are you *embarrassed*?!
**[13:34] Shingo**
Hey!
**[13:36] Suwabe**
President, we should go, too.
**[13:37] Naitou**
Now that's a global proposal.
**[13:40] Misaki**
Why don't we take a bath, too?
**[13:41] Maki**
Sure, Tokura.
**[13:45] Naoki**
Ain't you joinin' us, Nakagami?
**[13:51] Eru**
They'll see it wash off...
**[13:54] Eru**
I'll pass.
**[13:55] Naoki**
The heck? You prefer private baths too?
**[13:58] Shingo**
That's what I said, so...
**[13:59] Naoki**
You're comin' with us!
**[14:03] Eru**
My name is Eru.

**[15:05] Rekka**
They're so confident, they kept their captain,

Lastly...

during tomorrow's semifinals.
***SIGN*** Miyaji Academy Hitsue High School
**[15:39] Naoki**
Our opponent's Hitsue High, huh?
**[15:42] Shingo**
Let's prepare for tomorrow
by fortifying ourselves with a meal.
**[15:45] Naoki**
Sure, race you to the cafeteria!
**[15:47] Shingo**
Are you in grade school?! Wait up!
**[15:49] Aichi**
Don't run in the halls, you two!
**[15:55] Naoki**
Ow...
**[15:59] Naoki**
It's you...
**[16:00] Ibuki**
That's why I find the guy so nauseating...
**[16:05] Naoki**
I ain't forgotten how you mocked Aichi.
**[16:10] Naoki**
What's nauseating about Aichi?!
**[16:14] Ibuki**
Even though he remembers
about that time at Fukuhara,
**[16:18] Ibuki**
he doesn't recall the Tatsunagi mansion...
**[16:21] Nome**
After all, the revisions to the force of destiny
rewrote the melody that had previously existed.
**[16:28] Ibuki**
I see...
**[16:30] Ibuki**
Because the melody was rewritten,
**[16:33] Ibuki**
their memories of the events
involving Takuto Tatsunagi are gone.
**[16:36] Naoki**
What, cat got your tongue?!
**[16:38] Aichi**
Naoki, stop it!
**[16:40] Naoki**
Don't stop me, Aichi!
**[16:41] Naoki**
Kouji Ibuki! You'd better take back
everythin' you said about Aichi!
**[16:46] Ibuki**
Fine, Naoki Ishida.
**[16:47] Ibuki**
If you beat me, I'll take it back,
and even beg for forgiveness.
**[16:52] Naoki**
Don't you dare forget that.
**[16:56] Ibuki**
I'm pretty sure my memory
is much better than yours.
**[16:59] Naoki**
Say what?!
**[17:01] Aichi**
Ibuki, we've only met once, at Fukuhara...
but it doesn't feel that way.
**[17:07] Ibuki**
I will delete all bonds!
**[17:10] Aichi**
Bonds can still be reforged!
**[17:16] Aichi**
Ibuki and I fought before?
**[17:20] Miya**
It's the fifth day of the tournament!
**[17:23] Kenji**
Damage check.
**[17:25] Miya**
No trigger!
**[17:27] Miya**
Mitsusada has 6 damage!
**[17:31] Miya**
It's the semifinals, and in the fourth round of the
first match between Harumi High and Fukuhara High,
**[17:35] Miya**
Fukuhara's Suzugamori, who had bided his time
before appearing, has defeated Mitsusada,
***SIGN*** Fierce Fighting! Vanguard Koshien

tying them at two wins apiece!
**[17:44] Miya**
It'll all be decided in the anchor round
between Kouji Ibuki and Mamoru Anjou!
**[17:54] Mamoru**
Toshiki Kai...
**[17:58] Mamoru**
You certainly did show me
that you've mastered The End.
**[18:01] Kai**
Did I?
**[18:03] Mamoru**
I won't lose next time.
**[18:05] Mamoru**
Let's be sure to meet again at the finals!
**[18:10] Miya**
Which one of them will
the goddess of victory smile upon?!
**[18:15] Mamoru**
There's someone I have to beat in the finals!
**[18:23] Ibuki**
Come on, then!
**[18:26] Miya**
Ibuki managed to hang on with 5 damage!
**[18:29] Ibuki**
Not too shabby.
**[18:32] Mamoru**
Back at ya.
**[18:33] Nagisa**
He wasn't able to finish him off.
**[18:35] Gouki**
But Mamoru still has only 4 damage.
**[18:38] Kenji**
If he can get through this turn,
he's got a good shot at winning it.
**[18:42] Ibuki**
Once more!
**[18:43] Ibuki**
I ride!
**[18:45] Ibuki**
Harmonics Messiah!
**[18:47] Ibuki**

**[18:50] Ibuki**
And then I call Destiny Dealer, and Soul Blast.

**[18:56] Miya**
Once again, we see Ibuki call a locked card!
**[19:00] Ibuki**
Destiny Dealer boosts.
**[19:01] Ibuki**
Harmonics Messiah attacks your Vanguard!
**[19:05] Ibuki**
Harmonic Messiah's skill activates!
**[19:09] Miya**
Yet another locked card!
**[19:11] Miya**
This ensures he'll get a series of attacks!
**[19:14] Miya**
What will Anjou do?!
**[19:22] Mamoru**
Nehalem guards!
**[19:25] Mamoru**
Doha intercepts!
**[19:27] Ren**
Naturally, he guards.
**[19:29] Asaka**
But if even one trigger comes up,
the attack will go through.
**[19:33] Ibuki**
Twin drive.
**[19:35] Ibuki**
First check.
**[19:36] Ibuki**
Second check.
**[19:39] Miya**
He drew a critical!
**[19:51] Mamoru**

**[19:53] Mamoru**
First check!
**[19:58] Mamoru**
Second check!

That decides it!
**[20:42] Miya**
For the second year in a row,
Fukuhara High School...
**[20:46] Miya**
...is moving on to the finals!
**[20:56] Gouki**
Our final summer...
**[20:59] Kenji**
It's over already...
**[21:02] Miya**
Any comments, Soryu?
**[21:05] Leon**
Right now there are separate gusts,
but they may converge at some point.
**[21:09] Leon**
That's the kind of wind I felt.
**[21:11] Miya**
My thoughts exactly.
**[21:14] Ibuki**
I also have...
**[21:16] Ibuki**
...someone waiting for me at the finals.
**[21:19] Mamoru**
Good luck.
**[21:22] Ibuki**
Thanks, man.
**[21:32] Naoki**
Now it's our turn to win.
**[21:34] Shingo**
Hitsue High School!
We couldn't ask for better opponents.
**[21:40] Aichi**
Will Kai be all right?
**[21:58] Miwa**
I slept through breakfast!
**[22:01] Miwa**
Why didn't you wake me up, Ka--i?
**[22:10] Miwa**
Where'd you go, Kai?!
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Mamoru's
ace in the hole, Dragonic Blademaster!
***SIGN*** Dragonic Blademaster
**[23:54] Narrator**
Its skill activates if both
"Doha" and "Garan" are rear-guards.
**[23:58] Narrator**
It can retire all of an opponent's rear-guards
while also calling a Vision Token.
**[24:02] Narrator**
The Phantom Flames Vision Token
acts as a second Vanguard!
**[24:06] Narrator**
It can even do a twin drive when it attacks,
making it a really powerful Token unit!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card, you too can "Ride The Vanguard"!

**[00:02] Miya**
The second match of the semifinals,
**[00:04] Miya**
between Miyaji Academy and
Hitsue High School, is about to begin.
**[00:08] Miya**
But what's this?
**[00:10] Miya**
It seems Hitsue High School is missing members.
**[00:14] Aichi**
Kai...
**[00:15] Misaki**
Miwa isn't there, either.
**[00:17] Naoki**
Then maybe we'll win by default?
**[00:20] Shingo**
It's not that simple.
**[00:22] Maki**
Tournament rule number 7:
**[00:24] Maki**
"When a participant's name is called,
they must proceed to the fight table."
**[00:28] Shingo**
Which means it doesn't matter
where they are until it's their turn.
**[00:35] Kamui**
Is Kai pulling a Musashi Miyamoto,
just to mess with Brother Aichi's head?
**[00:41] Mark**
Musashi may have been late in a novel,
but he wasn't especially tardy in real life.
**[00:48] Kamui**
Huh, really?
**[00:51] Shin**
I wonder what happened to Kai.
**[00:55] Emi**
And Aichi was so looking
forward to their fight today...
**[01:01] Aichi**
For us, today is a day like any other.
**[01:05] Aichi**
We know we lost something precious.
**[01:09] Aichi**
Will we ever be able to connect again,
despite that interrupted fate?
***SIGN*** Dimension 11 Welcome Back, Kai

**[02:51] Kai**
With a boost from Aermo,
**[02:53] Kai**
The End attacks your Vanguard!
**[02:56] Izaki**
I lost!
**[03:00] Miwa**
Looks like you're in fine form, Kai.
**[03:02] Kai**
No, I'm still far from where I should be.
**[03:06] Inenaga/Akahori**
S-Seriously?!
**[03:08] Izaki**
Just how strong would you be then?
**[03:11] Miwa**
They've got it right.
**[03:13] Miwa**
From an outside perspective,
you're back to your old self already.
**[03:17] Miwa**
Heck, you're even stronger.
**[03:21] Kai**
But Miwa, while I was at a standstill,
Aichi and the rest kept making progress.
**[03:27] Kai**
To catch up to him, I need
to work several times as hard!
**[03:32] Miwa**
Isn't that just the Achilles paradox?
**[03:37] Kai**
What?
**[03:38] Miwa**
Nothing.
**[03:40] Miwa**
I'm fine with going along for the ride,
**[03:42] Miwa**
until you're finally satisfied.
**[03:45] Morikawa**
Hey!
**[03:47] Morikawa**
The gang's all here, huh?
**[03:49] Izaki**
What's up, Morikawa? You look so serious.
**[03:52] Morikawa**
We're gonna have a strategy session
to prepare for tomorrow's semifinal.
**[04:01] Morikawa**
Since Aichi will definitely be
Miyaji Academy's anchor, that means...
**[04:07] Morikawa**
...we'll have Inenaga be ours.
**[04:12] Inenaga**
Y-You want *me* to be the anchor?!
**[04:14] Morikawa**
Basically, the plan is to
give up on the Aichi battle,
**[04:18] Morikawa**
but definitely win
the remaining four matches.
**[04:21] Morikawa**
I call it the "Aichi Shift"!
**[04:23] Izaki/Akahori**
"Aichi Shift"?!
**[04:25] Inenaga**
So what am I?
**[04:26] Miwa**
Wait a sec!
**[04:28] Miwa**
Kai's only participating in this tournament
**[04:31] Miwa**
because he looks forward to fighting Aichi!
**[04:33] Kai**
I wouldn't say "only."
**[04:35] Morikawa**
If he wants to fight Aichi,
he can do it any old time!
**[04:38] Miwa**
Fighting in a card shop and fighting before
a huge crowd are completely different!
**[04:45] Morikawa**
I don't care! This is a team tournament!
**[04:47] Morikawa**
Our team winning is all that matters.
**[04:50] Miwa**
But...
**[04:51] Morikawa**
Shut up! It's captain's orders!
**[04:55] Morikawa**
Anyone who doesn't like it can leave!
**[04:58] Miwa**
There's no dealing with that guy!
**[05:04] Miwa**
I slept through breakfast!
**[05:06] Miwa**
Why didn't you wake me up, Kai?!
***SIGN*** Fierce Fighting! The Vanguard Koshien
**[05:12] Miya**
It's the fifth day of the tournament!
**[05:14] Miya**
The first match of the semifinals is
Fukuhara High School versus Harumi High School.
**[05:20] Miya**
Your thoughts on this bout, Soryu?
**[05:24] Leon**
The wind of victory will blow upon
last year's champions, Fukuhara High School.
**[05:33] Morikawa**
You guys are late.
**[05:35] Morikawa**
Where's Kai?
**[05:37] Miwa**
He's gone!
**[05:38] Miwa**
Kai's disappeared!
**[05:41] Asaka**
Artilleryman attacks your Vanguard!
**[05:49] Morikawa**
Wh-What?!
**[05:50] Inenaga**
What do you mean?!
**[05:51] Miwa**
Just what I said! When I woke up, Kai was gone!
**[05:55] Miwa**
I looked all over the hotel,
but he's nowhere to be found.
**[05:57] Izaki**
His phone?!
**[05:58] Miwa**
If I could reach him,
we wouldn't have this problem!
**[06:01] Morikawa**
If Kai doesn't come back,
**[06:04] Morikawa**
we'll lose by default.
**[06:07] Inenaga**
And we won our way through the semifinals, too!
**[06:10] Izaki**
It's all because a *certain someone*
made Inenaga the anchor!
**[06:14] Morikawa**
So it's *my* fault?!
**[06:16] Inenaga**
Maybe Sendou knows where Kai might be?
**[06:18] Izaki**
Let's ask him!
**[06:20] Morikawa**
Are you stupid?!
**[06:21] Morikawa**
They're our next opponents!
**[06:24] Morikawa**
We're not cozying up to them!
**[06:25] Miwa**
What's your issue with it?!
**[06:27] Miwa**
Asking is better than losing by default!
**[06:30] Morikawa**
This is Hitsue High's problem!
**[06:32] Morikawa**
If we're in their debt, we won't be able
to have a serious fight against them!
**[06:37] Miwa**
A serious fight...
**[06:40] Miya**
That decides it!
**[06:41] Miya**
Ibuki is the winner!
**[06:43] Miwa**
For the second year in a row,
Fukuhara High School is moving on to the finals!
**[06:49] Izaki**
What'll we do?!
Our match is gonna start soon!
**[06:53] Morikawa**
Kai's back to being the anchor.
**[06:57] Morikawa**
Izaki, you'll go first.
Inenaga, you're second. I'm third.
**[07:01] Miwa**
Morikawa...
**[07:03] Morikawa**
We'll buy as much time as possible.
**[07:06] Morikawa**
In the meantime, you find Kai
and bring him back here.
**[07:10] Morikawa**
I'm counting on you.
**[07:12] Miwa**
Got it.
**[07:14] Miya**
After two losses, three fast and furious wins!
What a brilliant comeback victory.
**[07:19] Ren**
Well, that's how it goes.
**[07:21] Miya**
You took third place in the Asia Circuit,
**[07:24] Miya**
but we hadn't yet seen you
in this tournament, Ren Suzugamori.
**[07:28] Miya**
You've been biding your time
before putting in an appearance.
**[07:31] Miya**
Was that part of your strategy?
**[07:33] Ren**
Not really.
**[07:35] Ren**
I wasn't interested in
fighting anyone except Aichi,
**[07:39] Ren**
but Asaka insisted I should play today.
**[07:42] Asaka**
Ren, that was too candid!
**[07:45] Ibuki**
Nonsense...
**[07:48] Ibuki**
Miwa?
**[07:50] Miwa**
Ibuki!
**[07:52] Ibuki**
What are you doing?
**[07:53] Ibuki**
You guys are up next.
**[07:55] Miwa**
That's not what matters now! Kai is...
**[08:00] Ibuki**
He's not himself?
**[08:01] Miwa**
Well, he did win all of
his matches in the qualifier,
**[08:05] Miwa**
but he insists that he still
hasn't fully gotten his game back.
**[08:17] Miwa**
I hate to think it, but I'm afraid
he's left us and won't come back.
**[08:24] Miwa**
Like that other time...
**[08:26] Miwa**
Sorry, just kidding there.
**[08:30] Ibuki**
Let's look for places where he's likely to be.
**[08:35] Izaki**
All right!
**[08:37] Inenaga**
Attack!
**[08:40] Miwa**
Ibuki...
**[08:42] Miwa**
Doesn't this look a lot like our park?
**[08:54] Miwa**
It does! It had swings
and a slide just like these.
**[08:58] Ibuki**
There was a hippo figure next to the sandbox.
**[09:01] Miwa**
Wasn't it a pig?
**[09:02] Ibuki**
A hippo.
**[09:03] Ibuki**
My memory is better than yours.
**[09:06] Kai**
No, it was a pig.
**[09:11] Miwa/Ibuki**
Kai!
**[09:14] Miya**
That decides it!

Miwa isn't back yet!
**[09:32] Izaki**
Draw it out as long as possible!
**[09:34] Morikawa**
Yeah, I know.
**[09:36] Kai**
What are you guys doing here?
**[09:39] Miwa**
That's my line!
**[09:41] Ibuki**
He said that you were gone
when he woke up this morning.
**[09:44] Kai**
Oh, that...
**[09:49] Kai**
His snoring was so loud
that it woke me up at dawn.
**[09:56] Kai**
I was just arranging my deck here.
**[09:59] Ibuki**
Don't you know what time it is?!
**[10:02] Ibuki**
Your school's matches are taking place now!
**[10:05] Kai**
What?!
**[10:29] Miya**
Wow! It's Morikawa, with a dramatic victory!
**[10:33] Miya**
Hitsue High School has two wins and one loss!
**[10:38] Morikawa**
Didn't think I was that strong, did ya?!
**[10:40] Izaki**
You idiot! I told you to draw it out!
**[10:43] Morikawa**
Oh, shoot!
**[10:44] Maki**
Ishida, how could you have lost like that?!
**[10:47] Naoki**
Yeah, sorry!
**[10:49] Naoki**
I couldn't stop his weird momentum.
**[10:52] Miya**
Now we're about to start the fourth match,
**[10:56] Miya**
but I don't see Hitsue's designated fighter.
**[11:03] Morikawa**
There!
**[11:12] Miwa**
Sorry we're late!

You had me worried, Kai!

Show me your serious fighting.

**[15:27] Kai**
Thank you, Tahr!
**[15:31] Morikawa**
He blocked it!
**[15:32] Miwa**
Keep it up, Kai!
**[15:35] Kai**
The Achilles and Tortoise paradox:
**[15:37] Kai**
No matter how long he chased the tortoise,
Achilles would never be able to catch up.
**[15:43] Kai**
But I've realized something.
**[15:46] Kai**
There is no "finish line" in Vanguard.
**[15:48] Kai**
So together, you and I
can aim for the highest heights!
**[15:53] Kai**
I ride!

I give all of the effects to my Vanguard.

**[16:50] Kai**
I'm not done yet!
**[16:51] Kai**
With three cards discarded from my hand,
The End can stand up again!
**[16:56] Kai**
The End, superior stand!
**[17:01] Aichi**
I guard with Flogal and Allen!
**[17:04] Misaki**
With that, his shield is 38,000!
**[17:06] Shingo**
And when re-stood, The End
gets only one drive check!
**[17:10] Naoki**
So we can relax!
**[17:12] Kai**
Drive check!
**[17:14] Miya**
A critical trigger!
**[17:18] Miya**
With this, The End's power is 43,000!
**[17:26] Naoki**
Hey! No way!
**[17:28] Shingo**
A direct hit from a 4-critical...
**[17:34] Aichi**
Damage check!
**[17:36] Aichi**
First check.
**[17:40] Misaki**
Aichi...

**[18:07] Morikawa**
A double heal?!
**[18:09] Miya**
Incredible!
**[18:10] Miya**
At the last possible moment,
Aichi Sendou has held out!
**[18:19] Kai**
I'm not done yet!
**[18:21] Kai**
The End!
**[18:23] Kai**
Superior stand!
**[18:25] Kai**
With a boost from Aermo,
The End attacks your Vanguard!
**[18:35] Aichi**
Thank you, everyone!
**[18:39] Kai**
My turn is over.
**[18:41] Miya**
What an astonishing fight!
**[18:43] Miya**
Aichi Sendou has fended off
Toshiki Kai's fierce attacks!
**[18:48] Aichi**
Grant me power, sublime wings of white!

**[19:20] Aichi**
Gancelot's skill activates!
**[19:22] Aichi**
Blaster Blade gets +10,000 power!
**[19:25] Aichi**
Then Blaster Blade becomes a Vanguard!
**[19:29] Emi**
In other words, he can do a drive check?
**[19:32] Kamui**
That's right, Miss Emi!
**[19:34] Ren**
As always, Aichi plays dirty.
**[19:39] Aichi**
With a boost from Tristan,
Gancelot attacks your Vanguard!
**[19:43] Kai**
Tahr, Berserk, lend me your strength!
**[19:46] Aichi**
Drive check!
**[19:48] Aichi**
Second check!
**[19:52] Aichi**
Blaster Blade attacks your Vanguard!
**[19:57] Aichi**
Drive check!
**[19:59] Naoki**
A critical trigger!
**[20:01] Aichi**
I give all of the effects to Blaster Blade!
**[20:04] Izaki**
Now Blaster Blade has 40,000 power!
**[20:07] Inenaga**
Oh no! That's higher than his shield!
**[20:10] Kai**
I knew it, Aichi...
**[20:13] Kai**
You really are better than--
**[20:15] Morikawa**
You moron!
**[20:19] The Three**
Morikawa?!
**[20:21] Morikawa**
Who said you get to be satisfied with that?!
**[20:24] Morikawa**
For the rest of your teammates,
don't you dare give up till the very end!
**[20:32] Kai**
You're right!
**[20:40] Aichi**
A heal trigger?!
**[20:43] Morikawa**
You can do this! Work just one more miracle!
**[20:47] Miwa**
Kai!
**[20:48] Ibuki**
Kai!
**[21:14] Miya**
That decides it!
**[21:15] Miya**
The winner is Aichi Sendou!
**[21:19] Miya**
For the final round of the Vanguard Koshien,
**[21:21] Miya**
first-time entrants Miyaji Academy and
last year's champion Fukuhara High School
**[21:25] Miya**
will meet in a fierce battle!
**[21:30] Aichi**
You really are amazing, Kai.
**[21:33] Kai**
Well, I finally got to have
a fight that satisfied me.
**[21:37] Kai**
All because of you.
**[21:39] Kai**
My thanks.
**[21:44] Inenaga**
It was so close at the end!
**[21:46] Izaki**
He was just one step away!
**[21:49] Morikawa**
You dope!
**[21:52] Miwa**
Welcome back, Kai.
**[21:57] Morikawa**
You let us dream a great dream!

Today's featured card
is Aichi's new set of wings,
**[23:51] Narrator**
Solitary Knight, Gancelot!
***SIGN*** Solitary Knight, Gancelot
**[23:54] Narrator**
It gives all of the player's
Blaster Blades +10,000 power!
**[23:57] Narrator**
On top of that, rear-guard Blaster Blades
can become additional Vanguard units!
**[24:01] Narrator**
They can use skills only available to Vanguards,
and even get to activate drive checks!
**[24:05] Narrator**
Two or more Vanguards means
the tactical possibilities are endless!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!

**[24:15] Ren**
See? Aichi won, like I said he would.

So now the final clash will be between
Fukuhara High School and Miyaji Academy, Bukki.
**[24:23] Ibuki**
Don't call me that.
**[24:24] Ren**
Then what should I call you?
**[24:25] Ren**
Ibu? Ibu-ibu?
**[24:27] Ren**
Or Ibracadabra?
**[24:28] Ibuki**
After Sweden's former top scorer?
**[24:30] Ren**
That's my Bukki! You're even up on soccer!
**[24:33] Ibuki**
His real name is Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
**[24:36] Ibuki**
A name you never forget once heard.

Wait, you slipped in another Bukki there!

**[00:05] Naoki**
Boss!
**[00:07] Naoki**
Heya.
**[00:10] Misaki**
Again, stop calling me "Boss"!
**[00:13] Aichi**
Are you going out this late at night?
**[00:15] Misaki**
I thought I'd get some fresh air.
**[00:18] Misaki**
How about you guys?
**[00:20] Naoki**
Same as you.
**[00:22] Aichi**
When I think about the finals
being tomorrow, I just can't relax.
**[00:25] Shingo**
May I please join you?
**[00:32] Naoki**
What's wrong, Shingo?!
**[00:34] Shingo**
I can't sleep at all...
**[00:40] Eru**
The time has come for
the seven seals to be undone!
**[00:42] Eru**
What?! It's not working?!
**[00:45] Eru**
Then I have no choice
but to unleash my inner space!
**[00:49] Eru**
My life is as nothing
compared to the fate of humanity!
**[00:52] Eru**
I'm going to take back the world line!
**[00:54] Misaki**
I doubt anyone could sleep through that.
**[00:58] Naoki**
This's a nice garden.
**[01:02] Shingo**
Huh?
**[01:03] Shingo**
Someone else is here.
**[01:06] Aichi**
Kourin Tatsunagi?
**[01:11] Kourin**
You four are...
**[01:12] Misaki**
Why did you come here?
**[01:15] Kourin**
The moon was just so beautiful.
**[01:20] Kourin**
I believe it's called a crescent moon.
**[01:23] Aichi**
I see...
**[01:38] Ushimaru**
Kourin...
**[01:40] Ushimaru**
Please go to bed.
**[01:43] Kourin**
All right.
**[01:57] Aichi**
Good night, Kourin.
**[02:02] Kourin**
I bid you good night.
**[02:07] Aichi**
For us, today is a day like any other.
**[02:11] Aichi**
We know we lost something precious.
**[02:15] Aichi**
Will we ever be able to connect again,
despite that interrupted fate?

Sorry I'm late.
**[04:04] Naoki**
We've already gotten started.
**[04:06] Shingo**
All right, it's you and me, Sendou.
**[04:08] Kourin**
Forget it! I'm the one fighting Aichi!
**[04:12] Misaki**
That's right. You reserved
a fight with him yesterday.
**[04:16] Aichi**
Right!
**[04:17] Aichi**
I remember, Kourin.
**[04:25] Kourin/Aichi**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[04:35] Naoki**
Wake up, Aichi! It's morning!
**[04:39] Aichi**
Right...
**[04:44] Naoki**
What's wrong? You havin'
a nightmare or somethin'?
**[04:48] Aichi**
I dreamed that we were all in the club room,
**[04:51] Aichi**
but Kourin Tatsunagi was there too,
wearing a Miyaji uniform.
**[04:56] Naoki**
That idol, a student at Miyaji?
**[05:00] Naoki**
Must've been 'cause you saw her
before goin' to bed last night.
**[05:02] Naoki**
Are you secretly a Kourin fan?
**[05:05] Aichi**
N-No, I'm not!
**[05:10] Naoki**
Today's the day.
**[05:13] Aichi**
Right.
**[05:23] Aichi**
Let's go, Naoki!
**[05:25] Aichi**
An awesome stage awaits us.
**[05:30] Naoki**
Yeah!
**[05:32] Miya**
Just take a look at this long, long, long line!
**[05:38] Miya**
They're here to watch the battle of the century
between Fukuhara High School and Miyaji Academy!
**[05:42] Miya**
Vanguard fans from all across the country--
nay, the world--want to witness it in person!
**[05:47] Kamui**
Miss Emi! Over here!
**[05:50] Emi**
The view seems better from there.
**[05:52] Shin**
Ah, you're right.
**[05:53] Mark**
Sendou's little sister has sharp eyes.
**[05:57] Kamui**
W-Wait for me!
**[06:01] Morikawa**
Aww yeah! We get box seats!
**[06:05] Miwa**
Even though we lost in the semifinals,
Hitsue High is still number three in the nation.
**[06:10] Miwa**
We deserve this.
**[06:12] Gouki**
You've got that right!
**[06:14] Gouki**
Harumi High is also number three.
**[06:17] Gouki**
So we're sitting here too.
**[06:19] Koutei**
Both of our schools will be awarded
third place during the closing ceremony.
**[06:23] Koutei**
Make sure you don't wander off.
**[06:26] Nagisa**
*You're* the one most in danger of that, Koutei!
**[06:33] Mamoru**
I'd hoped to fight you here.
**[06:37] Kai**
We'll have plenty of opportunities from now on.
**[06:43] Leon**
I suppose this is the calm before the storm.
**[06:55] Misaki**
There you are, Aichi.
**[07:03] Aichi**
Ever since I knew we'd be able
to participate in the Vanguard Koshien,
**[07:06] Aichi**
I've had my sights set on that spot,
the highest place on the winners' podium.
**[07:13] Aichi**
I felt like I just had to stand up there.
**[07:17] Aichi**
But still, will I really be able to win this?
**[07:25] Naoki**
It'll be fine. You've got us.
**[07:29] Naoki**
And actually, I've had the feelin'
I've gotta stand up there too.
**[07:34] Shingo**
So have I!
**[07:37] Misaki**
I've also felt that, all this time.
**[07:40] Misaki**
So let's go there together!
**[07:42] All**
Yeah!
**[07:44] Maki**
I always did think that they were
extremely motivated, but those feelings...
**[07:50] Naitou**
Thinking globally, the championship flag
would be the only thing awaiting them there...
**[07:54] Eru**
There may be a lost fate in effect.
**[07:59] Maki**
Perhaps if they stand up there,
**[08:01] Maki**
we'll finally learn why the Cardfight Club
was granted approval with too few members.
**[08:07] Itsuki**
Nagashiro, it's about that time.
**[08:09] Maki**
Well then, I will announce
our order for the final round.
**[08:18] Miya**
And now, at last!
**[08:21] Miya**
The final round of the Vanguard Koshien begins!

Wh-What's this?!
**[09:18] Miya**
The order for Fukuhara is the same as before,
but for Miyaji, Naoki Ishida is now the anchor!
**[09:24] Miya**
That means the anchor match
will be Naoki Ishida versus Kouji Ibuki!
**[09:28] Naoki**
I'm gonna steamroll you!
**[09:31] Miya**
Aichi Shindou and Ren Suzugamori
will clash in the fourth match!

**[09:54] Miya**
Our first match!
**[09:56] Miya**
From Miyaji Academy, Eru Nakagami!
**[10:00] Miya**
And from Fukuhara High School,
Minami Kawanami!
**[10:04] Naitou**
Why don't I get to participate
in the finals, Nagashiro?
**[10:08] Maki**
Your record up to this point has been poor.
**[10:11] Maki**
Besides, these opponents suit each other.
**[10:14] Maki**
Oddball versus oddball.
**[10:17] Aichi**
Good luck, Nakagami!
**[10:20] Eru**
I'm going all out from the very start.
**[10:27] Eru**
Psychic Power!
**[10:29] Kawanami**
If that's how you wanna play it...
**[10:33] Kawanami**
Animal Power!
**[10:38] Eru**
Could he be the real thing?!
**[10:42] Miya**
That decides it!
**[10:43] Miya**
The winner of the first match is
Minami Kawanami from Fukuhara High School!
**[10:49] Kyou**
What's he even howling for?
**[10:53] Miya**
In the second match, we have
Shingo Komoi from Miyaji Academy
**[10:58] Miya**
versus Kiriya Bidou
from Fukuhara High School!
**[11:02] Shingo**
I'll catch us up!
**[11:04] Shin**
I have a bad feeling...
**[11:06] Shin**
Shingo's a little out of his depth here.
**[11:09] Mark**
I fear you're right.
**[11:13] Miya**
And Bidou's attack decides it!
**[11:19] Miya**
What a bitter defeat for Shingo Komoi!

**[11:22] Miya**
Two consecutive losses for Miyaji Academy!
**[11:24] Miya**
They're hit a red light on the road to victory!
**[11:27] Miya**
Will they be able to recover?!
**[11:32] Misaki**
It's not over yet.
**[11:35] Aichi**
Misaki...
**[11:40] Misaki**
I'll be back soon.
**[11:54] Miya**
In the third match, we have
Misaki Tokura from Miyaji Academy
**[11:57] Miya**
versus Asaka Narumi from Fukuhara High!
**[11:59] Miya**
A battle between two female fighters!
**[12:10] Misaki**
I swear that we'll stand up there!
**[12:14] Suiko**
That scrunchie she has on her wrist...
I feel like I've seen it before.
**[12:19] Rekka**
Yeah, it looks like the
custom-made one Kou used to wear.
**[12:25] Kourin**
It does?
**[12:29] Tetsu**
If Asaka wins here,
you won't be able to fight Aichi Sendou.
**[12:36] Ren**
Say, Tetsu...
**[12:39] Ren**
We all get to play Vanguard here like this,
but who do we have to thank for that?
**[12:44] Tetsu**
That's a bizarre question.
**[12:47] Ren**
It's been on my mind lately.
**[12:49] Ren**
If we're able to enjoy Vanguard now,
maybe it's because someone protected Vanguard?
**[12:56] Ren**
Except we've all forgotten about it.
**[13:02] Misaki**
Now I'll finish you off!
**[13:08] Miya**
The blade of Goddess of the Full Moon, Tsukuyomi
has pierced Silver Thorn Dragon Tamer, Luquier!
**[13:14] Miya**
Miyaji Academy stands its ground!
**[13:19] Naoki**
You did it, Boss!
**[13:20] Misaki**
Don't call me "Boss"!
**[13:23] Miya**
At last, the time has come!
**[13:25] Miya**
It's the focal point of this tournament!
**[13:31] Miya**
Aichi Sendou from Miyaji Academy versus
Ren Suzugamori from Fukuhara High School!
**[13:37] Miya**
It's a replay of the Asia Circuit!
**[13:41] Miwa**
Who do you think will win?
**[13:42] Kai**
Who knows?
**[13:45] Naitou**
A world-level battle, taking place right here...
**[13:48] Naitou**
This is global indeed!
**[13:50] Eru**
But will destiny surpass the world line?
**[13:53] Itsuki**
Nakagami, what are you talking about?

Whatever you do, just win!
**[14:05] Naoki**
We're all gonna stand up there!
**[14:11] Ren**
Let's get started, Aichi.
**[14:14] Aichi**
Right, Ren!
**[14:17] Ren**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[14:17] Aichi**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[14:20] Miya**
The fourth match has begun!
**[14:23] Miya**
Don't take your eyes off of it!
**[14:25] Aichi**
Stand up, my avatar!
**[14:29] Aichi**
I ride Blaster Blade!
**[14:32] Miya**
Sendou is quick to ride Blaster Blade!
**[14:36] Miya**
And then...
**[14:37] Aichi**
I call Knight of Truth, Gordon!
**[14:39] Aichi**
Bringer of Good Luck, Epona!
**[14:41] Aichi**
Knight of Friendship, Kay!
**[14:43] Aichi**
Kay's skill activates!
**[14:45] Aichi**
I superior call Knight of Loyalty, Bedivere!
**[14:49] Aichi**
Let's go, everyone!
**[14:53] Ren**
Death Feather Eagle!
**[14:56] Aichi**
Epona, lend me your strength!
**[14:59] Aichi**
Drive check!
**[15:02] Aichi**
Heal trigger!
**[15:07] Bedivere**
Keep going, Kay!
**[15:10] Ren**
Abyss Healer!
**[15:16] Miya**
Sendou unleashes a tidal wave of attacks!
**[15:19] Leon**
However, much like how Aichi Sendou
has Blaster Blade, Ren Suzugamori has...
**[15:25] Ren**
Envelop everything in darkness, my avatar!
**[15:29] Ren**
I ride!
**[15:32] Ren**
Blaster Dark.
**[15:35] Ren**
This is only the beginning, Aichi.
**[15:37] Ren**
Darkness Maiden, Macha!
**[15:39] Ren**
Black Sage, Charon!
**[15:41] Ren**
Skull Witch, Nemain!
**[15:43] Ren**
Nullity Revenger, Masquerade!
**[15:48] Ren**
Now, go!
**[15:53] Bedivere**
I'll handle this!
**[16:00] Ren**
Drive check!
**[16:03] Ren**
Critical trigger!
**[16:05] Ren**
Take this!
**[16:08] Miya**
With no guard, Sendou takes 2 damage!
**[16:12] Miya**
And then he's hit by an attack
from Macha, with a boost from Charon!
**[16:16] Leon**
A marvelous wind is blowing.
**[16:18] Miya**
However, Sendou launches a counterattack!
**[16:21] Miya**
He rides Monarch Sanctuary Alfred,
**[16:24] Miya**
then calls Gordon and Blaster Blade!
**[16:27] Miya**
Macha is retired!
**[16:28] Miya**
Now, the attack phase begins!
**[16:31] Emi**
Go for it, Aichi!
**[16:35] Ren**
Death Feather Eagle!
**[16:38] Aichi**
Subjugation Field!
**[16:40] Aichi**
Theater Moderate!
**[16:47] Miya**
Sendou got a critical trigger!
**[16:51] Miya**
Suzugamori accumulates 3, 4, 5 damage!
**[16:56] Tetsu**
That's Aichi Sendou for you.
**[16:59] Tetsu**
Ren hasn't lost to him
time and time again for nothing.
**[17:02] Asaka**
Are you saying Ren will lose?!
**[17:06] Tetsu**
Did you think Ren and I would come to a
tournament without taking advance measures?
**[17:11] Ren**
Stand and draw.
**[17:14] Ren**
I'll show you my determination.
**[17:17] Ren**
I ride!
**[17:19] Ren**
Come to me, wings of black!
**[17:32] Ren**
Illusionary Revenger, Mordred Phantom!
**[17:35] Ren**
Imaginary Gift, Force II!
**[17:39] Ren**
Charon! Blaster Dark!
**[17:41] Miya**
Then Mordred Phantom's skill activates!
**[17:46] Tetsu**
With each Blaster Dark,
**[17:48] Tetsu**
Ren gains an Imaginary Gift, Force!
**[17:51] Ren**
I call!
**[17:53] Ren**
Imaginary Gift, Force II!
**[17:56] Miya**
Another Blaster Dark!
**[17:58] Miya**
His super-powerful Force Corps is complete!
**[18:01] Gouki**
What's worse, Blaster Dark's skill
makes Sendou lose two units.
**[18:06] Koutei**
And now, from this point on, we'll be seeing
the true, terrifying nature of that deck!
**[18:17] Aichi**
Gallatin!
**[18:22] Ren**
Here I go!
**[18:26] Miya**
With that, Sendou has 5 damage!
**[18:30] Morikawa**
He managed to hold out.
**[18:32] Kai**
No.
**[18:34] Kai**
It's not over yet.
**[18:36] Miya**
Wh-What's this?!
**[18:37] Miya**
He's re-standing the two Blaster Dark units!
**[18:43] Mamoru**
Once Mordred attacks, Blaster Dark units
can re-stand and gain +10,000 power.
**[18:49] Morikawa**
What?!
**[18:50] Morikawa**
He can do that?!
**[18:52] Miya**
And he attacks again!
**[18:55] Aichi**
Epona!
**[19:01] Aichi**
Elaine!
**[19:04] Miya**
Amazing! Sendou blocked them both!
**[19:09] Ren**
Aichi...
**[19:12] Ren**
Vanguard's really fun, isn't it?
**[19:16] Aichi**
Yeah!
**[19:18] Aichi**
Grant me power, sublime wings of white!
**[19:22] Aichi**
I ride!
**[19:29] Aichi**
Solitary Knight, Gancelot!
**[19:32] Aichi**
Ren, here I come!
**[19:34] Miya**
Sendou is calling one unit after another!
**[19:39] Aichi**
Let's go, everyone!
**[19:47] Aichi**
Let's go, Allen!
**[19:57] Ren**
This is...
**[20:03] Miya**
With that, Ren Suzugamori has 5 damage!
**[20:09] Ren**
I knew it.
**[20:11] Ren**
It was you.
**[20:13] Blaster**
I'll settle this!
**[20:15] Dark**
Oh no you won't!
**[20:20] Shin**
With Gancelot's skill, any front-row
Blaster Blade units become Vanguards!
**[20:24] Mark**
So that means...
**[20:29] Aichi**
Drive check!
**[20:31] Aichi**
Critical trigger!
**[20:32] Aichi**
I give all of the effects to Blaster Blade!
**[20:39] Ren**
That was...
**[20:40] Ren**
...neither a memory from the past
nor a memory of the future.
**[20:46] Ren**
But still...
**[20:47] Ren**
...we're able to play Vanguard now,
and it's all because you protected it.
**[20:55] Ren**
I can't help believing that.
**[20:59] Blaster**
Blade Rush!
**[21:08] Miya**
Th-That decides it!
**[21:10] Miya**
The winner is Aichi Sendou!
**[21:24] Ren**
Thank you, Aichi.
**[21:28] Ren**
All fighters are grateful to you.
**[21:32] Aichi**
Let's have another Vanguard fight sometime!
**[21:38] Ren**
Sure, let's.
**[21:46] Kourin**
Huh? Why am I crying...?
**[21:52] Kourin**
Well done.
**[22:01] Miya**
They each have two wins and two losses!

**[24:15] Eru**
No. This can't be right.
**[24:17] Itsuki**
What's wrong, Nakagami?
**[24:18] Eru**
According to my Elle Note,
**[24:20] Eru**
the Koshien finals were supposed
to kick off with my home run.
**[24:24] Eru**
Could someone have overwritten that destiny?!
**[24:28] Eru**
You must agree, Yah-mada!
**[24:29] Itsuki**
I'm Suwabe.
**[24:31] Itsuki**

The anchor match will decide the whole thing!
**[00:15] MC**
Who will win the Vanguard Koshien?
**[00:18] MC**
Miyaji, or Fukuhara? Which one?!
**[00:25] Ibuki**
Do you actually have Blaster Blade?
**[00:32] Ibuki**
Well? Do you?!
**[00:34] Aichi**
Y-Yes. I have it.
**[00:40] Ibuki**
This takes me back...
**[00:43] Ibuki**
And where did you get this card?
**[00:46] Aichi**
Um, er... a f-friend gave it to me.
**[00:51] Ibuki**
Your wimpiness makes me sick.
**[00:58] Aichi**
S-Sorry...
**[00:59] Naoki**
Hey! What're you insultin' him for?!
**[01:02] Aichi**
N-Naoki!
**[01:03] Ibuki**
I'm amazed you can stand
the company of a milksop like him.
**[01:06] Naoki**
No more insulting Aichi!
**[01:12] Aichi**
A-Are you okay, Naoki?
**[01:14] Naoki**
Ow...
**[01:16] Aichi**
You shouldn't hit people
over something so minor.
**[01:19] Naoki**
"So minor"?!
**[01:31] MC**
With two losses followed by two wins,
**[01:33] MC**
Miyaji Academy made a narrow escape.
**[01:38] MC**
Everything is riding on this anchor match.
**[01:41] MC**
And the person who has been appointed
as the anchor of Miyaji Academy is...
**[01:46] MC**
...Naoki Ishida!
**[01:53] MC**
And his opponent...
**[01:55] MC**
...is Fukuhara High School's anchor,
who remains undefeated in this tournament.
**[02:00] MC**
Kouji Ibuki!
**[02:05] MC**
The champion side strides
to the table with confidence.
**[02:12] Ibuki**
I haven't forgotten.
**[02:17] Naoki**
Kouji Ibuki! You'd better take back
everythin' you said about Aichi!
**[02:21] Ibuki**
Fine, Naoki Ishida.
**[02:23] Ibuki**
If you beat me, I'll take it back,
and even beg for forgiveness.
**[02:27] Naoki**
Don't you dare forget that.
**[02:31] Ibuki**
I'm pretty sure my memory
is much better than yours.
**[02:35] Naoki**
I've been waitin' for this, Kouji Ibuki!
**[02:39] Ibuki**
Then beat me...
**[02:42] Ibuki**
...Naoki Ishida.
**[02:46] Leon**
I sense uncertainty in the wind.
**[02:48] MC**
Uncertainty?
**[02:51] MC**
All right! In the end,
which high school will win the crown?
**[02:58] MC**
The battle you're about to see...
**[03:00] MC**
...will determine the victor
of the Vanguard Koshien!
**[03:06] MC**
Which side will win?!
**[03:09] Ibuki**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[03:09] Naoki**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[03:14] Aichi**
For us, today is a day like any other.
**[03:18] Aichi**
We know we lost something precious.
**[03:22] Aichi**
Will we ever be able to connect again,
despite that interrupted fate?
***SIGN*** Dimension 13 Decisive Fight!!
**[05:05] Naoki**
I ride!
**[05:10] Naoki**
Lizard Soldier, Riki!
**[05:13] Aichi**
Good luck, Naoki!
**[05:16] Naoki**
Aichi!
**[05:18] Naoki**
Please!
**[05:20] Naoki**
Let me be the anchor
for the final match tomorrow!
**[05:24] Maki**
Why are you so intent on that?
**[05:26] Naoki**
Ibuki's been Fukuhara's anchor
for this whole tournament.
**[05:29] Naoki**
I've just gotta fight 'im!
**[05:32] Shingo**
You mean to make him beg for forgiveness, huh?
**[05:34] Suwabe**
B-Beg for forgiveness?
**[05:35] Naitou**
That's not a very global action.
**[05:37] Naitou**
Depending on circumstances...
**[05:39] Naoki**
That jerk!
**[05:40] Naoki**
That jerk made fun of Aichi!
**[05:43] Aichi**
Naoki, that's water under the bridge!
**[05:47] Naoki**
He's gotta learn his lesson.
**[05:49] Naoki**
I'm gonna make him apologize
to Aichi on his knees!
**[05:51] Naoki**
I ain't lettin' this go!
**[05:53] Aichi**
But...
**[05:54] Shingo**
Let's leave this to Ishida.
**[05:57] Shingo**
I couldn't just ignore it after
you've been insulted either, Sendou.
**[06:02] Misaki**
Me, either.
**[06:03] Naitou**
I was just about to say that.
**[06:05] Aichi**
No, everyone...
**[06:07] Aichi**
It's just so silly...
**[06:09] Naoki**
It ain't silly!
**[06:12] Naoki**
You're my Vanguard!
**[06:14] Naoki**
I'd even say you're my lifesaver!
**[06:16] Naoki**
And when someone like that gets mocked,
**[06:19] Naoki**
I ain't keepin' my trap shut!
**[06:22] Aichi**
Naoki...
**[06:26] Ibuki**
I attack your Vanguard.
**[06:29] Naoki**
No guard!
**[06:35] Naoki**
I swear I'll make you beg for forgiveness!
**[06:37] Aichi**
Naoki...
**[06:39] MC**
Now it's Ishida's turn!
**[06:42] Naoki**
I ride Recklessness Dragon!
**[06:48] Naoki**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[06:53] Ibuki**
I guard.
**[06:56] Ibuki**
I draw.
**[06:57] Ibuki**
I ride.
**[07:04] Ibuki**
Blast Monk of the Thundering Foot.
**[07:10] Naoki**
So attack already!
**[07:14] Ibuki**
I call.
**[07:15] Ibuki**
Destiny.
**[07:17] Ibuki**
Lady Battler of the Gravity Well.
**[07:19] Ibuki**
Destiny.
**[07:22] Ibuki**
Blast Monk attacks your Vanguard.
**[07:25] Naoki**
No guard!
**[07:26] Ibuki**
Drive check.
**[07:29] MC**
Oh, my!
**[07:30] MC**
Ibuki got a critical!
**[07:38] Naoki**
Damage check!
**[07:43] Naoki**
Darn it! What should I do?!
**[07:45] Misaki**
He still has only 3 damage!
**[07:48] Shingo**
Why is he so on edge?!
**[07:52] Ibuki**
Lady Battler's skill.
**[07:54] Ibuki**
I take Lady Battler from the top of my deck,
and superior call it in a locked state.
**[08:01] Naoki**
This ain't goin' my way!
**[08:03] MC**
Oh boy! Ishida has 4 damage already!
**[08:08] Naoki**
Dang it! At this rate, I won't be able to
make him get down on his knees!
**[08:14] Naoki**
What's so funny, moron?!
**[08:18] Aichi**
Naoki!
**[08:21] Aichi**
Naoki!
**[08:22] Kourin**
Naokiii!
**[08:32] Kourin**
What are you fighting for here?!
**[08:35] Morikawa**
Huh?! Did Kourin just call Naoki's name?!
**[08:40] Kamui**
Do they know each other?!
**[08:42] Emi**
Don't be silly!
**[08:45] Kourin**
Naoki!
**[08:46] Kourin**
Fight Vanguard your own way already!
**[08:51] Naoki**
Vanguard... my own way...
**[08:57] Naoki**
My own style?
**[08:58] Aichi**
Yeah.
**[08:59] Shingo**
Yes.
**[09:00] Misaki**
That's right. Your own style of Vanguard.
**[09:03] Shingo**
You shouldn't forget that.
**[09:05] Maki**
You still have only 4 damage.
**[09:07] Maki**
You can make a comeback!
**[09:10] Naoki**
A comeback...
**[09:13] Naoki**
Oh yeah. You're right.
**[09:15] Naoki**
Sorry I forgot that, you guys.
**[09:20] Naoki**
That's right!
**[09:22] Naoki**
I didn't come here to make you grovel!
**[09:26] Naoki**
What I'm...
**[09:29] Naoki**
What we're all aimin' for...
**[09:32] Naoki**
...is over there!
**[09:35] Naoki**
I owe ya one, Miss Idol.
**[09:37] Naoki**
Thanks to you--Huh? She's gone.
**[09:41] Naoki**
Where'd she go?!
**[09:42] Ushimaru**
Kourin! You're a member of ULTRARARE!
**[09:46] Ushimaru**
Please consider your position as an idol
and endeavor to act properly, Kourin!
**[09:55] MC**
I guess the fight is so exciting,
it makes even Kourin yell out unthinkingly.
**[10:00] MC**
What do you think, Leon?
**[10:04] Leon**
The uncertainty in the wind has disappeared.
**[10:07] Morikawa**
That chucklehead got Kourin to cheer him on!
**[10:10] Morikawa**
I'm so jealous!
**[10:13] Miwa**
Hey, Kai, who do you think's gonna win?
**[10:16] Kai**
I don't know.
**[10:19] MC**
Thank you for your patience!
**[10:21] MC**
We resume the fight with Ishida's turn!
**[10:24] Naoki**
All right!
**[10:25] Naoki**
Let the heavens roar and the earth howl!
**[10:30] Naoki**
I ride!
**[10:50] Naoki**
Eradicator, Gauntlet Buster Dragon!
**[10:56] MC**
What a move by Ishida!
**[10:59] MC**
He's riding a unit that hadn't yet
shown up in this tournament!
**[11:04] Ibuki**
So this may be a decent fight after all.
**[11:07] Naoki**
My bad for makin' you wait.
**[11:10] Naoki**
Here I go. This match's just gettin' started.
**[11:13] Ibuki**
Come at me!
**[11:32] Naoki**
Here it is!
**[11:34] Naoki**
Imaginary Gift!
**[11:35] Naoki**
Accel II!
**[11:39] Naoki**
Gauntlet Buster Dragon's skill!
**[11:42] Naoki**
I bind all of my opponent's
front row rear-guards!
**[11:45] Naoki**
And all the back row rear-guards
get moved to the front!
**[11:48] Naoki**
On top of that,
**[11:49] Naoki**
I call Recklessness Dragon!
**[11:52] Naoki**
Skill activates!
**[11:54] Naoki**
I bind Lady Battler of the Gravity Well!
**[11:58] Kamui**
He dragged the back row rear-guards
to the front and bound one!
**[12:02] Shin**
Well...
**[12:04] Shin**
That's not all.
**[12:06] Shin**
Since there's a missing front row rear-guard,
his Vanguard's effect comes into play.
**[12:12] Mark**
+5000 power and an extra critical!
**[12:16] Kamui**
Now that's what I'm talking about!
**[12:18] Emi**
Is it that great?
**[12:20] Kamui**
Yeah, it is! It's incredible!
**[12:22] Kamui**
This means he's bound
all the units that can intercept!
**[12:27] Emi**
Really?
**[12:28] MC**
Ibuki definitely wants to withstand this one!
**[12:32] Naoki**
C'mere, you guys!
**[12:35] Naoki**
Lend me your power, Cho-Ou!
**[12:38] Cho-Ou**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[12:47] Suiko**
Now Gauntlet Buster Dragon has
a total of 22,000 power and 3 criticals.
**[12:53] Rekka**
That feels unfair...
**[12:54] Naoki**
Here's where I make my comeback!
**[13:03] MC**
And now...
**[13:04] MC**
...time for Ibuki to respond!
**[13:07] Naoki**
How'd ya like this?!
**[13:11] MC**
What's he going to do?!
**[13:12] Ibuki**
Lady Healer! Blast Monk!
**[13:17] MC**
He refuses to give ground!
**[13:19] Naoki**
Twin drive!
**[13:21] Naoki**
First check!
**[13:23] Naoki**
Critical trigger!
**[13:24] Naoki**
I give all of the effects
to Thunder Break Dragon!
**[13:27] Naoki**
Second check!
**[13:29] Naoki**
Front trigger!
**[13:33] Gouki**
The attack doesn't go through, but...
**[13:35] Nagisa**
He got a front trigger!
**[13:37] Gouki**
The deck answered his demand!
**[13:40] Gouki**
Fiendish Sword Eradicator, Cho-Ou
re-stands with a skill.
**[13:44] Gouki**
If all his rear-guard attacks get through...
**[13:47] Koutei**
...it could be all over.
**[13:49] Mamoru**
Ibuki...
**[13:52] MC**
Will Ishida be able to clinch it right here?!
**[13:56] Ushimaru**
Kourin, remember that you're an idol!
**[14:03] Naoki**
All right! You're next!
**[14:06] Naoki**
Recklessness Dragon!
**[14:14] Naoki**
Last one up's Thunder Break Dragon!
**[14:16] Naoki**
I can win this!
**[14:18] Naoki**
We've all gotta stand up there!
**[14:22] Naoki**
I'm countin' on you, Thunder Break Dragon!
**[14:27] Naoki**
Lead us there!
**[14:33] Misaki**
Go!
**[14:34] Shingo**
You can do it!
**[14:36] Aichi**
Please!
**[14:40] Kourin**
Do it!
**[14:40] Ushimaru**
Kourin, I know you're fired up, but...
**[14:45] Kourin**
Naoki!
**[14:46] MC**
Ibuki's run out of options!
**[14:50] Ibuki**
That's nowhere near enough to get you up there!
**[15:02] Bidou**
H-He blocked that attack...
**[15:04] Asaka**
As our anchor, he wouldn't let himself
be finished off at a time like this!
**[15:09] Tetsu**
Taking responsibility for his own past.
**[15:13] Tetsu**
That makes sense.
**[15:15] Ren**
Maybe for Bukki, fighting itself
serves as his atonement.
**[15:21] Kai**
He's rough around the edges.
**[15:23] MC**
Too bad for Ishida!
**[15:25] MC**
He was just on the verge of clinching it!
**[15:29] Eru**
I can still see the land of Omega.
**[15:32] Ibuki**
Why are you obsessed with that spot?!
**[15:36] Naoki**
I dunno why, but...
**[15:39] Naoki**
I've just gotta stand
up there with my teammates!
**[15:42] Ushimaru**
Please act more like an idol...
**[15:42] Naoki**
And that's that!
**[15:45] Ibuki**
Maybe, but I'm not about to let you...
**[15:48] Ibuki**
...get there so easily!
**[15:51] Ibuki**
I ride!
**[16:05] Ibuki**
Harmonics Messiah!
**[16:13] Ibuki**
Imaginary Gift!
**[16:14] Ibuki**
Force I!
**[16:16] Naoki**
I'm blockin' it!
**[16:17] Ibuki**
Harmonics Messiah!
**[16:19] Ibuki**
Blast Monk!
**[16:21] Ibuki**
Go!
**[16:21] Ibuki**
Blast Monk!
**[16:23] Bidou**
He's attacking?!
**[16:24] Kishida**
But he doesn't have enough power!
**[16:27] Tetsu**
Don't worry.
**[16:29] Ibuki**
Skill activates!
**[16:31] Ibuki**
I bind Recklessness Dragon!
**[16:34] Kishida**
I get it!
**[16:35] Kishida**
He did that so he could
bind the unit in the Accel Circle!
**[16:38] Kawanami**
This'll take a big bite
out of his opponent's firepower.
**[16:43] Tetsu**
It was a good call.
**[16:45] Kohai1**
Awesome! I've never seen such an intense fight!
**[16:50] Senpai**
Hey, what're you guys watching?!
**[16:51] Kohai1**
This Vanguard thing is wicked!
**[16:58] Ibuki**
Harmonics Messiah attacks your Vanguard!
**[17:05] Naoki**
I'm countin' on you!
**[17:06] Naoki**
Seiobo! Hayate!
**[17:08] Hayate**
We'll come through for you, my Vanguard.
**[17:13] Ibuki**
Twin drive!
**[17:16] Kishida**
A critical trigger!
**[17:18] Ibuki**
I give all of the effects to
my right-hand Harmonics Messiah!
**[17:21] Ibuki**
Second check!
**[17:22] Bidou**
A double trigger!
**[17:24] Bidou**
He can do this! Yeah!
**[17:29] Kyou**
Go!
**[17:30] Kyou**
Go!
**[17:31] MC**
All right, Ibuki!
**[17:33] MC**
This is the moment of truth!
**[17:36] MC**
Will this be the decisive blow?!
**[17:41] Ibuki**
With Harmonics Messiah,
**[17:43] Ibuki**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[17:56] Kishida/Bidou**
Ibuki!
**[17:58] Ibuki**
Reach him!
**[18:00] Asaka**
Get through!
**[18:03] Naoki**
I ain't givin' in!
**[18:05] Naoki**
Yellow Gem! Hayate! I'm leavin' it to you guys!
**[18:15] MC**
He stopped it!
**[18:19] MC**
Too bad for Ibuki!
**[18:21] MC**
His attack was one step away,
but it just couldn't get there!
**[18:28] Ibuki**
My turn is over.
**[18:31] Senpai**
A deck...
**[18:33] Senpai**
Has anyone here got a deck?!
**[18:35] Kohai1**
Huh? I thought you quit
Vanguard a long time ago.
**[18:40] Senpai**
Yeah... I guess I did.
**[18:42] Senpai**
But now I wanna get back into it.
**[18:46] MC**
All right!
**[18:47] MC**
We're about to reach
the climax of this pitched battle!
**[18:52] MC**
What will happen?!
**[18:54] Naoki**
Hey!
**[18:56] Naoki**
Wake up!
**[18:58] Ibuki**
Oh, right.
**[19:01] Ibuki**
The fight isn't over yet, is it?
**[19:04] Naoki**
Here I go!
**[19:06] Ibuki**
Come at me!
**[19:07] Kourin**
Naoki!
**[19:09] Shingo**
We're all counting on you!
**[19:10] Misaki**
Show us what you're made of!
**[19:12] Aichi**
Naoki!
**[19:15] Naoki**
Here I come, Ibuki!
**[19:19] Naoki**
I'm puttin' everything I got on the line,
**[19:22] Naoki**
to punch right through you!
**[19:46] Ibuki**
You got me yet again.
**[19:58] Naoki**
I did it!
**[20:05] MC**
At last, that decides it!
**[20:09] MC**
The champion of the first Vanguard Koshien...
**[20:13] MC**
...is Miyaji Academy's Cardfight Club!
**[20:17] Kourin**
Yes!
**[20:23] MC**
Against the powerhouse of Fukuhara High School,
**[20:25] MC**
Miyaji Academy has made
a miraculous comeback victory!
**[20:29] MC**
Despite being first-time entrants, they made
a brilliant win here at the Vanguard Koshien!
**[20:38] MC**
And for Fukuhara High School,
which put up an amazing fight,
**[20:41] MC**
there's also an outpouring
of generous applause.
**[20:47] Tetsu**
Hey, chin up!
**[20:49] Tetsu**
We're Fukuhara's champions!
**[20:50] Ren**
Yeah, Tetsu's right.
**[20:56] Naoki**
This seems familiar somehow...
**[21:00] Naoki**
Hey, what're you doin'?!
**[21:02] Ibuki**
I'm on my knees...
**[21:04] Naoki**
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
**[21:06] Naoki**
Just forget that nonsense!
**[21:08] Ibuki**
Nonsense?
**[21:10] Naoki**
I forgot about it already myself.
**[21:13] Ibuki**
You...
**[21:22] Ibuki**
A fight reveals everything about a person...
**[21:28] Ibuki**
...or so I've heard.
**[21:33] Naoki**
Ibuki...
**[21:35] Voice**
Ibuki!
**[21:37] Aichi**
Naoki!
**[21:38] Shingo**
You actually did it, Ishida!
**[21:41] Voice**
You won!
**[21:42] Voice**
Good job!
**[21:44] Maki**
We are the champions!
**[21:45] Voice**
A splendid victory!
**[21:47] Naoki**
I can't breathe!
**[21:48] Aichi**
At long last...
**[21:51] Aichi**
...we've arrived!
**[21:53] Aichi**
The goal we all strived for...
**[21:55] Aichi**
...is right there!
**[21:59] Aichi**
At last!
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card
is Naoki's new ace in the hole,
**[23:51] Narrator**
Eradicator, Gauntlet Buster Dragon!
***SIGN*** Eradicator, Gauntlet Buster Dragon
**[23:54] Narrator**
For each of the opponent's
empty front row rear-guard circles,
**[23:57] Narrator**
this unit receives +5000 power
and an extra critical!
**[24:00] Narrator**
And by paying the cost, the player can bind
all of the opponent's front row rear-guards,
**[24:04] Narrator**
and then drag the back row units to the front!
**[24:06] Narrator**
Decimate the enemy camp,
and smack them with a secret weapon!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Kai**
Aichi, who's that with you?
**[24:18] Aichi**
This time, an idol, Miyu Koike,
is doing the preview with me.
**[24:22] Miyu**
Hello, everyone!
**[24:23] Miyu**
Hi, I'm Miyu Koike.
**[24:25] Miyu**
It's a pleasure to meet you!
**[24:26] Kai**
L-Likewise.
**[24:28] Miyu**
On a *Vanguard* TV special,
I won a presentation event,
**[24:32] Miyu**
and my prize was appearing in the anime.
**[24:34] Miyu**
I've been watching *Vanguard*
for years, so I'm thrilled to be here!
**[24:38] Aichi**
By the way, Miss Koike, what kind
of presentation did you do?
***SIGN*** Dimension 14

**[00:06] Announcer**
The flag of victory is being awarded.
**[00:12] MC**
Miyaji Academy has received the flag of victory!
**[00:16] Emi**
Congratulations, Aichi!
**[00:18] Kamui**
Congratulations, Brother Aichi!
**[00:20] Shin**
Misaki!
**[00:23] Shin**
Misaki!
**[00:30] Naoki**
Finally...
**[00:32] Shingo**
...we're standing...
**[00:34] Misaki**
...right here...
**[00:35] Aichi**
...in the place we aimed for.
**[00:37] Maki**
So, have you learned anything?
**[00:40] Aichi**
L-Like what?
**[00:43] Maki**
I was thinking that by standing here,
we would be able to solve the riddle
**[00:46] Maki**
of why the Cardfight Club was approved before
when it didn't have enough members.
**[00:51] Aichi**
O-Oh...
**[00:53] Eru**
The world line must have been switched!
**[00:58] Naoki**
Come to think of it, I wonder why...
**[01:01] Shingo**
Why were we all so set on...
**[01:03] Misaki**
...making it up here?
**[01:08] Kourin**
Miyaji Academy Cardfight Club members...
**[01:16] Kourin**
Congratulations on your victory.
**[01:29] Rekka**
Congratulations!
**[01:31] Shingo**
Yes!
**[01:34] Shingo**
Th-Thank you very much!
**[01:39] Rekka**
Well, I don't care who takes it off my hands...
**[01:48] Kourin**
Congratulations.
**[01:49] Kourin**
You had a truly wonderful fight.
**[01:53] Aichi**
Th-Thank you very much.
**[02:02] Kourin**
Congratulations.
**[02:07] Misaki**
Thank you.
**[02:12] Naoki**
Thanks, Miss Idol.
**[02:16] Naoki**
If you hadn't called out earlier,
we wouldn't be standin' here right now.
**[02:20] Naoki**
But why'd you do that?
**[02:25] Kourin**
I don't know myself.
**[02:27] Kourin**
I just could tell that you weren't
playing your own style of Vanguard.
**[02:34] Kourin**
Strange, isn't it?
**[02:36] Rekka**
It's not strange at all.
**[02:39] Rekka**
Kou had her eyes on you guys the whole time.
**[02:43] Kourin**
Hey, Rekka!
**[02:46] Aichi**
Is that true?
**[02:52] Kourin**
For some reason, I couldn't get
your team out of my mind.
**[02:55] Kourin**
I think it's because you've got
such a great Cardfight club there.
**[02:59] Suiko**
Then why not become a member?
**[03:04] Naoki**
Miss Idol...
**[03:06] Naoki**
To join our Cardfight Club,
there's just one condition.
**[03:11] Kourin**
What condition?
**[03:12] Naoki**
You've gotta beat a member to become a member!
**[03:16] Shingo**
Ishida, how dare you speak that way to an idol?!
**[03:20] Naoki**
Nah, I'm only messin' with ya, Miss Idol.
**[03:25] Kourin**
I'm a strong fighter.
**[03:30] Kourin**
Beat a member of your club, you say?
**[03:41] Kourin**
I challenge you to a fight.
**[03:46] Aichi**
Me?
**[03:47] Kourin**
Is that okay with you, Nome?
**[03:55] MC**
Kourin from ULTRARARE
has a surprise gift in store!
**[04:00] Emi**
A surprise gift?
**[04:14] MC**
From the winning school,
Miyaji Academy's Sendou, versus Kourin--
**[04:19] MC**
No, fighter Kourin Tatsunagi.
**[04:22] MC**
They will now stage an exhibition match for us!
**[04:28] Morikawa**
If you guys hadn't lost,
I'd be standing there right now!
**[04:34] Kai**
Sorry.
**[04:35] Morikawa**
Sheesh!
**[04:37] Morikawa**
Kourin, beat Aichi and take
that flag of victory away from them!
**[04:41] Miwa**
No, no, no. He said it's an exhibition match.
**[04:44] Shingo**
We got to this strange turn of events
because you opened your big mouth, Ishida.
**[04:49] Shingo**
What's wrong?
**[04:51] Naoki**
Who'd *I* beat to get into the club, again?
**[04:55] Naoki**
You weren't a member yet...
**[04:59] Misaki**
I don't remember, either.
**[05:01] Shingo**
*You* don't remember, Misaki?
**[05:04] Naoki**
How could that be,
when you've got that memory thing?
**[05:08] Misaki**
I honestly don't know.
**[05:14] Aichi**
Let's have a good fight.
**[05:16] Kourin**
Yes, I look forward to it.
**[05:20] Kourin**
Well, let's start our Vanguard match.
**[05:24] Aichi**
Right!
**[05:29] Kourin/Aichi**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[05:34] Kourin**
Is something wrong?
**[05:35] Aichi**
N-No, it's nothing.
**[05:38] Kourin**
Then...
**[05:41] Kourin/Aichi**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[05:49] Kourin**
Blond Ezel attacks!
**[06:06] Aichi**
That wasn't just a dream...
**[06:11] Aichi**
Stand up, my avatar!
**[06:14] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[06:24] Naoki**
Where are we...?
**[06:25] Shingo**
The planet Cray.
**[06:27] Misaki**
We've been here before.
**[06:33] Kourin**
It isn't the first time I've had this sensation.
**[06:39] Aichi**
Burst Buster!
**[06:46] Gordon**
I shall take the lead!
**[06:48] Kourin**
Beaumains!
**[06:50] Beaumains**
Aye aye, sir!
**[06:52] Aichi**
Leave the rest to me!
**[07:14] Aichi**
With a boost from Bedivere,
Pongal attacks Viviane!
**[07:19] Kourin**
No guard!
**[07:24] MC**
Viviane is sent to the Drop Zone,
**[07:26] MC**
and Kourin has 3 damage,
**[07:28] MC**
which makes them tied.
**[07:31] Naoki**
N-No two ways about it.
**[07:33] Shingo**
We've seen these two...
**[07:36] Misaki**
...fight each other before!
**[07:38] Naoki**
But that can't be right!
**[07:40] Shingo**
Kourin was never a student...
**[07:44] Misaki**
...at Miyaji Academy.
**[07:46] Kourin**
And yet, I know I've fought this boy before.
**[07:53] Kourin**
I ride!
**[07:55] Kourin**
Blazing Lion, Platina Ezel!
**[08:01] Kourin**
Imaginary Gift, Accel II!
**[08:04] Kourin**
Listener of Truth, Dindrane!
**[08:06] Kourin**
Advance of the Black Chains, Kahedin!
**[08:08] Kourin**
Blond Ezel!
**[08:10] Kourin**
Dantegal!
**[08:11] MC**
Wow! Kourin has five units
lined up in her front row!
**[08:17] Kourin**
Here I go!
**[08:18] Kourin**
Blond Ezel!
**[08:20] Ezel**
No problem!
**[08:27] Aichi**
Allen!
**[08:32] Aichi**
Knight of the Harp, Tristan!
**[08:39] Aichi**
Gareth, come with me!
**[08:42] Gareth**
Aye aye, sir!
**[08:44] Kourin**
Platina Ezel's skill activates!
**[08:47] Kourin**
I look at the top two cards of my deck,
and put Dantegal in the Trigger Zone.
**[08:53] Kourin**
I superior call Beaumains.
**[08:55] MC**
A five-column attack wasn't enough for Kourin.
**[08:58] MC**
Now she's increased her means of attack!
**[09:02] Tetsu**
So she's traded her first drive check
for a definite trigger and a superior call.
**[09:08] Asaka**
That's an impressive skill.
**[09:10] Kourin**
Second check.
**[09:14] Mamoru**
A double front trigger!
**[09:15] Gouki**
That makes her total power...
**[09:18] Koutei**
...40,000!
**[09:19] Nagisa**
40,000?!
**[09:24] Kourin**
Now he has 5 damage!
**[09:27] Rekka**
I've never seen Kou so serious before.
**[09:30] Suiko**
That girl...
**[09:33] Suiko**
It's as if she predicted this would happen.
**[09:39] Kourin**
I swear I'll win this!
**[09:41] Kourin**
Hoel boosts!
**[09:43] Kourin**
Beaumains will finish you off!
**[09:45] MC**
Kourin's total power is 50,000!
**[09:50] MC**
Is even Sendou powerless to block this attack?!
**[09:56] MC**
Which of them will end up winning the fight?!
**[10:18] Aichi**
Flash Shield, Iseult guards!
**[10:23] Eru**
That's the ultimate tenacious obstacle...!
**[10:27] Naitou**
Just as I would do.
**[10:28] Suwabe**
That's my president!
**[10:38] Ren**
Do you think Aichi will win next turn, Bukki?
**[10:42] Ibuki**
Probably...
**[10:43] Ibuki**
Stop calling me that!
**[10:46] Aichi**
Stand and draw!
**[10:48] Aichi**
Grant me power, sublime wings of white!
**[10:52] Aichi**
I ride!
**[10:55] Aichi**
Solitary Knight, Gancelot!
**[10:58] Aichi**
Imaginary Gift, Force II!
**[11:05] Aichi**
Tristan!
**[11:06] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[11:09] Blaster**
Burst Buster!
**[11:12] Kourin**
Kahedin!
**[11:14] Kahedin**
May fortune smile on you, my Vanguard!
**[11:19] Aichi**
Gordon!
**[11:20] Gordon**
Yes, sir!
**[11:22] Kourin**
Beaumains!
**[11:32] Kourin**
I guard!
**[11:33] Kourin**
Flame of Victory! Dantegal!
**[11:36] Kourin**
I can't afford to lose!
**[11:38] Aichi**
Twin drive!
**[11:40] Aichi**
First check!
**[11:41] Aichi**
I give the power to Blaster Blade!
**[11:43] Aichi**
Second check!
**[11:45] Aichi**
Critical trigger!
**[11:46] Aichi**
I give all of the effects to Blaster Blade!
**[11:49] MC**
Sendou got a double trigger,
but the attack didn't go through!
**[11:55] Emi**
Oh, drat!
**[11:56] Kamui**
But he's still got an attack left.
**[12:00] Aichi**
Boosted by Pongal, Blaster Blade attacks!
**[12:05] Kourin**
No guard!
**[12:06] Shin**
N-No guard, *here*?!
**[12:09] Mark**
She must have a strong heart!
**[12:11] Miwa**
If he gets a critical...
**[12:13] Kai**
...it's all over.
**[12:15] Morikawa**
Aichi, don't you dare draw that!
**[12:19] Aichi**
Drive check!
**[12:32] Emi**
So close!
**[12:34] Morikawa**
She's saved!
**[12:37] MC**
Kourin held the line at 5 damage!
**[12:40] MC**
Will she be able to do it?!
**[12:43] Kourin**
I'm going to defeat you and then join...
**[12:45] Kourin**
...Miyaji Academy's Cardfight Club!
**[12:56] Kourin**
Boosted by Gareth,
Platina Ezel attacks Gancelot!
**[13:04] Aichi**
No guard!
**[13:29] Aichi**
6 damage. I lose.
**[13:37] MC**
Wh-What a wonderful fight!
**[13:44] Leon**
Such a refreshing breeze.
**[13:48] Aichi**
Thank you for the fight.
**[13:54] Kourin**
No, thank *you*!
**[14:11] Morikawa**
Kourin!
**[14:14] Miwa**
That was a good one, huh?
**[14:16] Kai**
Yeah.
**[14:19] Emi**
Aichi!
**[14:21] Kamui**
Brother Aichi!
**[14:29] Naoki**
You really did it, Miss Idol.
**[14:32] Shingo**
That was a brilliant victory.
**[14:34] Misaki**
Congratulations.
**[14:43] All**
Cheers!
***SIGN*** The Vanguard Koshien
**[15:03] Aichi**
Congratulations, Kai.
**[15:06] Kai**
That's supposed to be my line.
**[15:09] Aichi**
You're back to your old self, right?
**[15:12] Kai**
Yeah.
**[15:14] Kai**
Thanks to fighting you.
**[15:17] Ren**
That's no fair, Kai.
**[15:19] Ren**
Keeping Aichi all to yourself!
**[15:22] Kai**
Ren, it's like you said.
**[15:26] Ren**
But still, we're able to play Vanguard now,
and it's all because he protected it.
**[15:35] Ren**
I can't help believing that.
**[15:38] Kai**
For some reason, I feel the same way.
**[15:42] Ren**
I know, right?
**[15:43] Ibuki**
If that's true,
**[15:45] Ibuki**
then my coming across Neon Messiah
was also thanks to you, Aichi Sendou.
**[15:54] Ushimaru**
Mr. Sendou...
**[15:55] Aichi**
A-Aren't you...?
**[15:59] Aichi**
Wh-Why did you call us here?
**[16:02] Kourin**
Because Ushimaru said no to me!
**[16:06] Ushimaru**
If you went to them, Kourin,
it would cause a disturbance.
**[16:10] Kourin**
See? I can't change her mind.
**[16:12] Naoki**
That ain't answered the question.
**[16:16] Kourin**
I... don't really have an answer for that.
**[16:19] Suiko**
"After all...
**[16:21] Suiko**
...I beat Aichi Sendou, and joined
Miyaji Academy's Cardfight Club."
**[16:26] Rekka**
"So of course I should be at the party, right?"
**[16:29] Rekka**
She just wouldn't quit!
**[16:32] Kourin**
Both of you have big mouths!
**[16:35] Shingo**
So that's why you called us here?
**[16:40] Aichi**
I see.
**[16:42] Aichi**
This is a welcome party for you, Ms. Tatsunagi!
**[16:45] Kourin**
I don't like you calling me that.
**[16:47] Kourin**
Would you call me by my given name?
**[16:50] Aichi**
Certainly, Kourin.
**[16:52] Naoki**
Then I'll be your opponent.
**[16:54] Naoki**
That all right, Miss Idol?
**[16:57] Kourin**
You too. Call me "Kourin" instead.
**[16:59] Naoki**
Okay, Kourin, then you call me "Naoki."
**[17:03] Kourin**
Very well, Naoki.
**[17:05] Shingo**
This feels odd somehow...
**[17:08] Shingo**
You're being too friendly with us.
**[17:10] Shingo**
Of the three members of ULTRARARE,
**[17:13] Shingo**
you're the least friendly, which is why
your popularity is lukewarm at best.
**[17:17] Kourin**
Are you picking a fight with me?
**[17:20] Rekka**
Come to think of it...
**[17:21] Kourin**
You're still here?
**[17:23] Rekka**
Kou, you lost that thing, remember?
**[17:25] Rekka**
It was the same kind of scrunchie
that girl's wearing on her wrist.
**[17:30] Rekka**
Why not have her tell you where she bought it?
**[17:38] Misaki**
You wear it.
**[17:39] Kourin**
Wh-Why?
**[17:42] Misaki**
I have a feeling that
it'll suit you more than me.
**[17:46] Kourin**
Th-Thank you.
**[17:52] Kourin**
Then, shall we?
**[17:55] Aichi**
Kourin, welcome to
Miyaji Academy's Cardfight Club!
**[19:36] Naoki**
Yo.
**[19:39] Kourin**
It's about time.
**[19:41] Suwabe**
S-Sendou...
**[19:44] Suwabe**
Why is there an idol here?
**[19:46] Naitou**
That's Miyaji Academy for you!
**[19:48] Naitou**
A global idol has even come here for a tour!
**[19:52] Eru**
It reminds me of the plot twist in volume 3 of
*So What If I Was Reincarnated as an Idol?*
**[19:58] Maki**
No, that was volume 4.
**[20:00] Eru**
You've read it?
**[20:01] Maki**
Y-Yes, the entire series.
**[20:04] Naoki**
Kourin, what're you doin' here?!
**[20:07] Kourin**
I told you that night, remember?
I'll be here on my days off.
**[20:12] Misaki**
What about the uniform?
**[20:14] Kourin**
Ushimaru got it for me.
**[20:16] Shingo**
She's very capable.
**[20:18] Aichi**
Then let's all enjoy our time here today.
**[20:22] Kourin**
Yay!
**[20:27] Kourin**
What?! You're all a bunch of wet blankets!
**[22:03] Aichi**
Already?
**[22:05] Kourin**
Since the Vanguard Koshien is over,
**[22:07] Kourin**
we decided now was a good time to return
to our usual base of activity in our country.
**[22:21] Misaki**
Why?
**[22:22] Kourin**
Hold on to it.
**[22:25] Naoki**
So we ain't gonna see each other much anymore?
**[22:29] Shingo**
Even if Kourin were to stay in Japan,
we wouldn't be able to see her that often.
**[22:33] Shingo**
But still, I'm going to miss her.
**[22:38] Kourin**
We're in a world in which anyone
can connect to others through Vanguard.
**[22:43] Naoki**
Those words...
**[22:44] Shingo**
I remember hearing them before!
**[22:47] Misaki**
Me too, but who said them?
**[22:50] Kourin**
You're the one who said that, Aichi.
**[22:56] Kourin**
You're not surprised, huh?
**[22:58] Aichi**
I'm sure we used to be connected.
**[23:02] Aichi**
And yet, for some reason,
we'd forgotten about it.
**[23:08] Aichi**
But still...
**[23:11] Aichi**
...we have Vanguard.
**[23:14] Aichi**
As long as we keep playing Vanguard,
**[23:16] Aichi**
no matter how far apart we are,
**[23:18] Aichi**
we can create a destiny
in which we all meet again!
**[23:30] Kourin**
Everyone...

**[02:52] Tatsuya**
She's the go-getter president
of the major Card Shop chain Esuka,
**[02:55] Tatsuya**
which is awesome since they stock
everything and are always comfortable.
**[02:58] Tatsuya**
Incidentally...
**[02:59] Tatsuya**
...she used to be a swimsuit model.
**[03:03] Tatsuya**
So what's she doing here?
**[03:06] Esuka**
No response?
**[03:08] Esuka**
This calls for the use of force.
**[03:09] Butler**
As you wish.
**[03:17] Goon A**
Move it.
**[03:23] Tatsuya**
S-Sorry!
**[03:28] Tatsuya**
Mikuru... Shindou?
**[03:30] Mikuru**
Who are you?
**[03:32] Tatsuya**
T-Tachibana! The new transfer student!
**[03:35] Mikuru**
Sorry, I don't really remember you.
**[03:38] Tatsuya**
Am I that easy to overlook?
**[03:41] Tatsuya**
Anyway, what's happening here?
**[03:44] Mikuru**
Bro, what's going to happen to Shinemon?
**[03:47] Rive**
Don't ask me.
**[03:50] Mikuru**
But since you're Shinemon's mentor,
anything that happens to him will be your fault!
**[03:55] Rive**
It's true that Lemon--
I mean, Shinemon--may be my disciple.
**[04:00] Rive**
However, Mikuru...
**[04:02] Rive**
That only applies to Vanguard fights.
**[04:09] Mark**
Here he comes!
**[04:13] Esuka**
What?
**[04:26] Mikuru**
Shinemon?
**[04:28] Rive**
Then, who's in the shop?
**[04:30] Mark**
Me, of course!
**[04:35] Tatsuya**
A topknot?!
**[04:36] Mikuru**
It was you, Mark?!
**[04:38] Mark**
Looks like I bought us enough time.
**[04:50] Shin**
I've been using catnip powder
to attract cats from all across town!
**[04:54] Shin**
You know why, don't you?!
**[04:56] Esuka**
Wh-Wh-What are you talking about?!
**[04:59] Shin**
I've done my homework on you,
**[05:01] Shin**
so I know how much you hate cats!
**[05:24] Shin**
Remember this, Esuka!
**[05:26] Shin**
I'll never let you take Capital!
**[05:28] Esuka**
And what do you intend to do with a shop
that doesn't even have a manager?!
**[05:32] Shin**
A shop without a manager...
**[05:34] Shin**
Then *I'll* be the manager!
**[05:39] Shin**
Whoa!
**[05:40] Butler**
Esuka!
**[05:47] Mark**
The plan worked out great, Shinemon!
**[05:49] Shin**
Good job, Mark!
**[05:52] Mikuru**
You silly Cinnamon!
**[05:55] Shin**
Mikuru...
**[05:59] Shin**
Who're you calling, "Silly Cinnamon"?!
**[06:02] Mikuru**
It's very well to *say*, "I'll be the manager,"
**[06:04] Mikuru**
but have you thought any further than that?!
**[06:07] Shin**
If I can't think before taking action,
I can at least take action unthinkingly!
**[06:11] Shin**
Taking action makes things happen!
**[06:14] Tatsuya**
Fascinating!
**[06:15] Mikuru**
Bro! Say something to him!
**[06:18] Rive**
Oops, time for me to leave for work!
**[06:20] Rive**
Shinemon! You keep up the good fight!
**[06:23] Shin**
M-Master Rive!
**[06:28] Shin**
You're still here...?
***SIGN*** Misaki Tokura
**[06:56] Misaki's Mother**
Now that I have Misaki, your niece,
**[06:59] Misaki's Mother**
you won't be able to depend on me all the time.
**[07:03] Shin**
I can stand on my own two feet!
**[07:06] Shin**
I promise I'll take care of her
just like a big brother would,
**[07:12] Shin**
so that Misaki can always be smiling!
**[07:16] Misaki's Mother**
I'm counting on you, Shin.
**[07:25] Misaki**
So you're here.
**[07:28] Shin**
You're awake, Misaki?
**[07:35] Shin**
What are you doing up there?
**[07:40] Misaki**
Where'd you get the cat?
**[07:47] Misaki**
It's cute.
**[07:51] Misaki**
Those scratches...
**[07:54] Misaki**
Being reckless again, weren't you?
**[07:56] Shin**
Oh, uh, well...
**[08:00] Shin**
I protected Capital again today.
**[08:04] Misaki**
You don't have to do that anymore.
**[08:07] Shin**
What're you talking about?!
**[08:09] Shin**
Your mom and dad left Capital to you, Misaki--
**[08:12] Misaki**
Don't bother.
**[08:15] Shin**
B-Bother? Don't be silly!
It's no bother at all!
**[08:20] Misaki**
Oh?
**[08:33] Shin**
I'll visit again.
**[08:40] Shin**
So that Misaki can always be smiling...
**[09:05] Mark**
Detention?
**[09:06] Shin**
Because I bombed on the Japanese history quiz.
**[09:10] Mark**
If you'd come to me for help,
I would've coached you.
**[09:13] Mark**
Any Japanese person who doesn't
know Japanese history is a dillard.
**[09:18] Shin**
"Dill"-ard? As in pickles?
**[09:22] Mark**
Sorry! My mistake! I meant "dullard."
**[09:26] Mark**
That was Nobunaga Oda's nickname
when he was very young!
**[09:29] Shin**
Was Nobunaga Oda
bad at Japanese history, too?
**[09:33] Mark**
It would've been current events to Nobunaga.
**[09:36] Mark**
I'll see you at Capital!
**[09:39] Shin**
Mark, don't forget this!
**[09:42] Mark**
Good luck with your detention!
**[09:45] Shin**
Thanks.
**[09:54] Esuka**
Hello there, Mr. Mark Whiting.
**[09:58] Mark**
Esuka Hibino?!
**[10:00] Mark**
The true dullard appears!
**[10:07] Mikuru**
Shinemon!
**[10:11] Shin**
Mikuru, if you're looking for your brother,
I don't think he's coming today.
**[10:14] Mikuru**
I didn't come here to drag my brother home!
**[10:17] Mikuru**
This boy wants to be introduced to you.
**[10:21] Tatsuya**
N-Nice to meet you!
**[10:22] Tatsuya**
I'm Tatsuya Tachibana, a first-year
student at Harumi Middle School!
**[10:26] Tatsuya**
I'm...
**[10:29] Mikuru**
Apparently he witnessed the ruckus yesterday.
**[10:31] Shin**
Yesterday...
**[10:33] Shin**
Was there a ruckus?
**[10:35] Tatsuya**
You drove off Esuka Hibino, Mr. Nitta!
**[10:39] Shin**
Oh yeah! I did!
**[10:42] Shin**
But "Mr. Nitta" is too formal.
**[10:45] Shin**
Just call me Shinemon!
**[10:47] Tatsuya**
O-Okay!
**[10:49] Tatsuya**
You were so cool, Shinemon!
**[10:53] Shin**
Cool?
**[10:56] Shin**
Cool...
**[11:01] Shin**
I know, right?! I really was super-cool!
**[11:04] Shin**
Keep the compliments coming!
**[11:06] Tatsuya**
Ouch...
**[11:07] Tatsuya**
Sure.
**[11:09] Shin**
I see! So you were watching me, huh?
**[11:12] Shin**
Of course you were!
**[11:14] Shin**
When a guy takes action like that,
all eyes are upon him!
**[11:17] Shin**
But still, you have a really discerning eye!
**[11:25] Mikuru**
More like he needs glasses...
**[11:28] Tatsuya**
You can do backbends like that?! Fascinating!
**[11:34] Shin**
Mark, sorry I'm late.
**[11:37] Tatsuya**
You keep it in your hair?
**[11:40] Shin**
It's kinda ended up
camping there without permission.
**[11:48] Shin**
Who are you?!
**[11:50] Mark**
Who I am is Ninja Master!
**[11:53] Tatsuya**
Ninja...
**[11:54] Mikuru**
...Master?!
**[11:56] Mikuru**
Mark...?!
**[11:58] Shin**
You're an agent of Esuka, aren't you?!
**[12:01] Shin**
What have you done with Mark?!
**[12:04] Mikuru**
He doesn't realize?!
**[12:06] Mark**
Verily, if you wish to learn that,
you will have to defeat me!
**[12:10] Shin**
I know that card!
**[12:12] Shin**
That's Mark's deck!
**[12:14] Mark**
Y-Yikes!
**[12:16] Shin**
Only the lowest of the low
would steal someone else's deck!
**[12:20] Tatsuya**
I... I agree!
**[12:23] Shin**
I swear I'll beat you!
**[12:26] Mark**
He actually bought it...
**[12:30] Mark**
As you wish!
**[12:31] Mark**
Verily, let us have a wager for this fight.
**[12:34] Shin**
A wager like... this shop?!
**[12:37] Mark**
You have good instincts.
**[12:39] Mark**
Verily, if I win, you must stop
barricading yourself inside this place.
**[12:43] Shin**
You're on! This is a Vanguard fight!
**[12:46] Shin**
Capital is the place where we hang out!
**[12:49] Shin**
It's the place where we play!
**[12:51] Shin**
And it's the place I will protect!
**[12:55] Shin**
I am Shinemon Nitta!
**[12:57] Shin**
Come at me with everything you've got!
**[13:00] Mikuru**
Did he have to make a speech?
**[13:02] Tatsuya**
He's so cool!
**[13:07] Shin**
Are you ready?!
**[13:11] Shin/Mark**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[13:13] Mark**
...verily!
**[13:18] Shin**
I ride!

**[14:01] Mark**
Zangetsu's skill activates!
**[14:09] Mark**
Here I come!
**[14:16] Shin**
Behold my grade 3!
**[14:23] Shin**
The entirety of destiny is inscribed
within the blinding darkness!
**[14:28] Shin**
And I am the one who recites it!
**[14:34] Shin**
Gleaming Lord, Uranus!
**[14:39] Shin**
Imaginary Gift, Force I!
**[14:48] Shin**
Uranus's skill activates!
**[14:52] Tatsuya**
That skill gave him an Imaginary Gift!
**[15:01] Shin**
Here I come!
**[15:05] Shin**
No trigger!
**[15:06] Shin**
Draw trigger!
**[15:13] Shin**
I have read your fate!
**[15:20] Shin**
Proceed, Parthenos of Holy Verse!
**[15:23] Shin**
Parthenos's skill activates!
**[15:28] Shin**
I got an Imaginary Gift!
**[15:38] Tatsuya**
Three gifts on the Vanguard Circle?!
**[15:41] Tatsuya**
But why...?!
**[15:54] Mark**
Ninja Art, Mortal-Coil Jutsu!
**[15:57] Mark**
Verily, Evil Decoy Token
may intercept even from the back row!
**[16:04] Shin**
That's Mark's specialty!
**[16:06] Shin**
You not only stole his deck,
but also his playing style!
**[16:11] Mikuru**
He seriously doesn't realize!
**[16:15] Mark**
Riding Jutsu!
**[16:19] Mark**
Evil Stealth Dragon Akatsuki, Hanzo!

Imaginary Gift, Protect II!
**[16:29] Mark**
Furthermore...
**[16:35] Mark**
By retiring two Decoy units...
**[16:43] Mark**
This is Ninja Art, Spiriting-Away Jutsu!
**[16:47] Tatsuya**
Shinemon's rear-guards
were returned to his hand!
**[16:50] Mark**
But not only that!
**[16:52] Mark**
Verily, you must also discard
two cards from your hand!
**[16:56] Tatsuya**
Wh-What?!
**[16:58] Mark**
And then, Calling Jutsu!
Rally to me, Zangetsu!
**[17:03] Mark**
Channeling Jutsu!
**[17:05] Tatsuya**
That gives him an array of six units!
**[17:08] Mark**
Judgment is at hand!
**[17:15] Tatsuya**
Now he's got 5 damage!
**[17:17] Mark**
Chigasumi's skill activates!
**[17:19] Mark**
Verily have I seen...
**[17:20] Mark**
...the image of victory!
**[17:25] Tatsuya**
A 49,000 power attack!
**[17:27] Mikuru**
Is Shinemon going to lose?!
**[17:39] Shin**
Thanks!
**[17:42] Shin**
Now it's my turn!
**[17:48] Shin**
Once more, I ride Gleaming Lord, Uranus!
**[17:53] Shin**
I got an Imaginary Gift!
**[17:55] Tatsuya**
A fourth one?!
**[17:58] Shin**
Uranus's skill activates!
**[18:00] Shin**
I got an Imaginary Gift!
**[18:06] Tatsuya**
A *fifth* one?!
**[18:13] Tatsuya**
What's happening?!
**[18:15] Shin**
Circle Shift!
**[18:17] Shin**
Once Uranus has five Imaginary Gifts,
**[18:20] Shin**
the rear guard circle behind
the Vanguard becomes the Astral Plane!
**[18:26] Shin**
And standing on that Astral Plane is...
**[18:39] Shin**
Rewrite the imagination,
**[18:44] Shin**
O great planetary guardian deity!
**[18:46] Shin**
Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
**[19:01] Tatsuya**
Wh-What?!
**[19:03] Mikuru**
What is it?!
**[19:04] Tatsuya**
That card!
**[19:06] Tatsuya**
Grade 5, 70,000 power?!
**[19:10] Shin**
Don't act surprised just yet!
**[19:13] Shin**
Astral Plane units can even
attack from the back row!
**[19:18] Shin**
Valkerion's skill activates!
**[19:20] Shin**
I look at the top five cards of my deck...
**[19:23] Shin**
This card's grade becomes
the number of drive checks I can do!
**[19:27] Tatsuya**
Grade 3, which means... triple drive?!
**[19:34] Shin**
Valkerion, Zodiac Blazer!
**[19:40] Shin**
Triple drive!
**[19:42] Shin**
First check!
**[19:43] Mark**
A critical trigger?!
**[19:45] Shin**
Second check!
**[19:47] Shin**
Third check!
**[19:48] Mark**
A double critical?!
**[20:01] Mark**
6 damage...
**[20:13] Shin**
Mark?!
**[20:15] Shin**
Why would you...?
**[20:17] Mikuru**
He must've gotten disgusted with you
and gone over to Esuka's side.
**[20:21] Mark**
No! That's not why!
**[20:24] Shin**
Esuka asked you to do it?
**[20:27] Mark**
She said letting you stay holed up here
would have a negative impact on your grades.
**[20:33] Mikuru**
Well, Esuka's right about that.
**[20:36] Tatsuya**
But she exploited
the friendship between you two.
**[20:43] Shin**
Exploiting our friendship?!
**[20:45] Shin**
What kind of woman is Esuka Hibino?!
**[20:48] Shin**
Mark, it's fine.
**[20:50] Shin**
What happened here is water under the bridge.
**[20:53] Mark**
Ah, yes! Water under the bridge.
**[20:55] Esuka**
My ears are burning.
**[21:01] Shin**
As the manager here,
I'm going to protect Capital!
**[21:05] Esuka**
That child, a manager?
Don't be silly!
**[21:10] Esuka**
A c-cat?!
**[21:16] Tatsuya**
Y-You're camping here?!
**[21:18] Shin**
Yeah, so that Esuka can't seize the place.
**[21:21] Mikuru**
Outside of school, he's here most of the time.
**[21:24] Mikuru**
Words fail me...
**[21:26] Tatsuya**
Fascinating!
**[21:33] Tatsuya**
Who are these people?
**[21:35] Shin**
Nobody important. Never mind them.
**[21:38] Tatsuya**
Oh, okay.
**[21:44] Shin**
Want some dinner?
**[21:46] Mikuru**
What are you talking about? You're broke!
**[21:49] Mark**
Oh! Marvelous Japanese food!
**[21:52] Tatsuya**
Count me in!
***SIGN*** Ramen
**[21:55] Mikuru**
I've told you again and again,
no cooking in the shop!
**[21:59] Shin**
Once isn't gonna hurt!
**[22:01] Shin**
As the manager, I say it's fine!
**[22:03] Mikuru**
The manager?!
**[22:04] Mikuru**
I see no manager here!
**[22:08] Shin**
*I'm* the manager!
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card
is Shinemon Nitta's ace in the hole,
**[23:52] Narrator**
Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
***SIGN*** Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion
**[23:54] Narrator**
With grade 5 and 70,000 power,
it's one of the mightiest units.
**[23:59] Narrator**
On top of that, you can obtain
extra drive checks by using a skill!
**[24:02] Narrator**
Note that you can only call it to
a special circle known as the "Astral Plane,"
**[24:05] Narrator**
so be sure to pair it in your deck
with Gleaming Lord, Uranus,
**[24:09] Narrator**
which can deploy "Astral Plane"!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Mikuru**
Mark, you sound different
when you become Ninja Master.
**[24:19] Mark**
Oh? How so, Mikuru?
**[24:21] Mikuru**
He's put the helmet on.
**[24:22] Mark**
Verily, I am the Ninja Master!
**[24:24] Mikuru**
He's taken it off.
**[24:25] Mark**
I'm Mark Whiting...
**[24:27] Mark**
Wow, I do sound different!
**[24:29] Shin**
I've got it!
**[24:30] Shin**
This helmet contains the spirit of a ninja
who died before he could achieve his goals!
**[24:35] Mark**
Oh! I had no idea!
**[24:36] Mikuru**
Where did you find that creepy helmet, anyway?
**[24:39] Mark**
I made this for cosplay.

So no matter what you do,
you have to be the sub manager!

**[01:00] Shin**
So, did any suspicious guys
come around while I was out?
**[01:05] Shin**
It's a suspicious guy!
**[01:07] Rive**
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
**[01:09] Rive**
It's me!
**[01:12] Shin**
M-Master?!
**[01:14] Rive**
The doors weren't locked.
**[01:15] Shin**
Seriously?!
**[01:17] Rive**
What do you mean to do
if someone from Esuka comes?
**[01:19] Rive**

Shindou...
***SIGN*** Card Capital: Defend It to the End Oppose the Evil Esuka Group's Oppression! No Foreclosures
**[01:37] Tatsuya**
U-Um, I wanted to ask Shinemon a favor...
**[01:41] Tatsuya**
How about you, Shindou?
**[01:42] Mikuru**
I came here looking for my brother.
**[01:47] Mikuru**
So he is here...
**[01:49] Shin**
You beat me!
**[01:52] Mikuru**
Bro, you lunkhead!
**[01:54] Rive**
Mikuru, what's up?
**[01:56] Mikuru**
Don't give me, "what's up"!
**[01:58] Mikuru**
You left to go shopping and never came back.
**[02:01] Mikuru**
And now I find you goofing off Cardfighting!
**[02:03] Mikuru**
Where are the diapers?!
Also, remember to charge your Smartphone!
**[02:07] Rive**
Oops...
**[02:14] Mikuru**
And you, Shinemon...
**[02:16] Shin**
Wh-What?
**[02:17] Mikuru**
Tatsuya wanted to ask you a favor.
**[02:19] Shin**
Oh? Need dinner?
**[02:21] Tatsuya**
N-No, that's not it.
**[02:24] Tatsuya**
Um...
**[02:26] Tatsuya**
Please make me your disciple!
**[02:30] Shin**
Disciple?!
**[02:33] Tatsuya**
Yes!
***SIGN*** Remind 2 Welcome to Esuka!!
**[04:10] Shin**
M-My disciple?
**[04:13] Tatsuya**
Yes.
**[04:14] Mikuru**
I'd better check your temperature...
**[04:16] Mikuru**
You may have a bad cold.
**[04:18] Shin**
Hey!
**[04:20] Mikuru**
What's so great about this thoughtless guy?
**[04:23] Tatsuya**
The way he acts unthinkingly.
**[04:27] Tatsuya**
A lot of times, I can't act because
I think too much about everything.
**[04:32] Tatsuya**
But that day, Shinemon took on
Esuka Hibino as an equal.
**[04:42] Tatsuya**
Besides...
**[04:43] Tatsuya**
...his fight with Mark yesterday was awesome!
**[04:47] Tatsuya**
Please take me on as your disciple!
**[04:49] Shin**
Easy for you to ask...
**[04:52] Shin**
Tatsuya! Whether I make you my disciple
or not, let's fight each other once.
**[04:57] Tatsuya**
Sure!
**[05:06] Shin**
Tatsuya...
**[05:07] Shin**
Do you know why you lost?
**[05:10] Shin**
You're so focused on perfect guards
that you use more cards than you need to.
**[05:16] Shin**
You kept doing that.
**[05:18] Shin**
Don't be afraid!
**[05:20] Shin**
What's important is not getting
dominated by your opponent's imagination.
**[05:24] Tatsuya**
Imagination?
**[05:25] Shin**
Be assertive and rewrite that imagination!
**[05:30] Tatsuya**
Right!
**[05:31] Shin**
Well, shall we do it again?
**[05:33] Tatsuya**
Yes!
**[05:39] Esuka**
Careless of you to leave your door unlocked.
**[05:42] Mikuru**
Esuka Hibino!
**[05:43] Shin**
Shoot! I let the invaders in?!
**[05:46] Esuka**
Relax. I came here to talk.
**[05:49] Shin**
To talk?
**[05:50] Esuka**
Yes. Watch what's inside.
**[05:53] Esuka**
Then you'll understand
what the Esuka Group is all about.

**[06:20] Esuka**
If you become a member of Esuka, you'll receive
a member's card and this beginner's deck.
**[06:26] Esuka**
Could you offer that at this shop?
**[06:30] Shin**
I have no intention of shutting this place down.
**[06:33] Esuka**
I only want to change the sign.
**[06:35] Esuka**
If you all keep coming here just as
you have been, you can enjoy Vanguard.
**[06:41] Esuka**
After all, wouldn't you rather enjoy fighting,
without having to worry about running the shop?
**[06:48] Rive**
Huh. This is a nice deck case.
**[06:51] Rive**
Why not keep it at least?
**[06:53] Shin**
Like I need this junk!
**[06:55] Shin**
I just want to keep Card Capital as it is!
**[06:59] Shin**
I'm not going to let it become Esuka!
**[07:01] Shin**
Take your stuff and get out of here!
**[07:05] Esuka**
Such a child.
**[07:06] Esuka**
Just think it over--
**[07:08] Shin**
Manager!
**[07:15] Butler**
Esuka!
**[07:17] Esuka**
I-I-I'll leave for now.
**[07:21] Esuka**
If you change your mind,
come see me anytime.
**[07:24] Esuka**
I'll be in the president's office
at Esuka headquarters.
**[07:27] Shin**
I'll never set foot in there!
**[07:31] Tatsuya**
You chased her off again. Fascinating!
**[07:35] Mikuru**
So you named that cat Manager?
**[07:38] Shin**
No! Its name is "Sub Manager"!
**[07:42] Shin**
But it'll only respond to Manager.
**[07:44] Mikuru**
Manager!
**[07:48] Rive**
Oh, that's right!
**[07:49] Rive**
I need to buy diapers!
**[07:51] Rive**
I just remembered!
**[07:53] Mikuru**
I knew it! You forgot them!
**[07:57] Mark**
Rive! You're leaving already?
**[07:59] Rive**
See you!
**[08:00] Mark**
That was weird...
**[08:02] Shin**
You're late, Mark!
**[08:04] Mark**
Sh-Shinemon!
**[08:06] Mark**
Who had cleaning duty today?!
**[08:08] Shin**
C-Cleaning duty...?
**[08:11] Shin**
You mean...
**[08:12] Shin**
...you did it in my place?!
**[08:14] Mark**
Yesss!
**[08:15] Mark**
And that's not all!
**[08:18] Mark**
To mollify our raging teacher,
**[08:21] Mark**
I had to put his slippers
inside my jacket to warm them up!
**[08:25] Shin**
Who are you, Hideyoshi?!
**[08:28] Mark**
KA-POW!
**[08:29] Shin**
S-Sorry, Mark!
**[08:30] Mark**
Be more careful!
**[08:32] Mark**
Even the punches to a sandbag will hurt.
**[08:34] Shin**
Please, don't hit me!
**[08:37] Tatsuya**
You meant, even the patience
of a saint will run out.
**[08:40] Mark**
Oh, Tatsuya! You're here, too?!
**[08:43] Tatsuya**
Yes. I want to become Shinemon's disciple.
**[08:47] Mark**
Disciple?!
**[08:48] Mark**
Oh! How wonderful!
**[08:51] Mark**
After many years of training,
you'll receive the secrets of the art!
**[08:58] Shin**
There's no secrets to it!
**[09:00] Shin**
All right, Tetsuya!
**[09:02] Shin**
Let's do it!
**[09:03] Tatsuya**
Right!

**[09:07] Shin**
What the hey?!
**[09:10] Mikuru**
What's wrong?
**[09:11] Mark**
Oh, a new deck, huh?
**[09:13] Shin**
N-No! This isn't my deck!
**[09:17] Shin**
What's going on here?!
**[09:18] Shin**
I'm sure my deck was
right here just a minute ago!
**[09:21] Shin**
How did it get switched so quickly?!
**[09:25] Shin**
Could it be...
**[09:26] Shin**
...I've acquired the secrets of the art?!
**[09:29] Mikuru**
Of course not, Super-Silly Cinnamon!
**[09:32] Tatsuya**
Um, didn't Esuka Hibino
bring over a deck as a present?
**[09:37] Mikuru**
Come to think of it, my lunkhead brother
took the deck out of the case...
**[09:44] Tatsuya**
Maybe you put the wrong one back?
**[09:45] Mikuru**
That's it!
**[09:46] Mikuru**
That's the only reasonable explanation.
**[09:48] Shin**
Then where's my deck?!
**[10:00] Shin**
Oh no!
**[10:01] Shin**
Of all places for my deck to end up!
Right in Esuka's hands!
**[10:05] Tatsuya**
What's going to happen to it?!
**[10:06] Mikuru**
She'll probably give it
as a present to a new member.
**[10:10] Mikuru**
I'm sure she didn't notice
that the deck was switched.
**[10:13] Shin**
No! I put my heart and soul into that deck!
**[10:17] Mark**
Since it's already been opened,
she may just dispose of it.
**[10:22] Tatsuya**
Um, why not explain the situation
to Esuka and have her give it back to you?
**[10:26] Shin**
That's the last thing I would do!
**[10:29] Shin**
"If you want me to give it back,
then give me your shop."
**[10:32] Shin**
What else would she say?!
**[10:35] Mikuru**
Then you'll just give up on the deck?
**[10:37] Shin**
Of course I'm not giving up on it!
**[10:40] Shin**
Since it's come to this...
**[10:42] Shin**
...I'll sneak into the president's office
at Esuka headquarters and steal my deck back!
**[11:04] Shin**
This must be...
**[11:06] Shin**
...Esuka headquarters.
**[11:08] Mark**
Verily, this is the place.
**[11:10] Mark**
Let's go!
**[11:14] Shin**
Where's the president's office?
**[11:15] Mark**
I have been a ninja for 18 years,
so leave this task to me!
**[11:21] Mark**
Pardon me!
**[11:22] Mark**
Where is the president's office?
**[11:24] Shin**
Through the front door?!
**[11:29] Shin**
There are the elevators!
**[11:31] Shin**
That one must go directly
to the president's office!
**[11:34] Shin**
All right!
**[11:35] ReceptionistA**
Excuse me, gentlemen?
**[11:38] ReceptionistA**
That elevator only goes to the top floors.
**[11:42] ReceptionistA**
It's reserved for the president
and those who have been given an S Card.
**[11:45] ReceptionistA**
No one else is allowed to use it.
**[11:47] Shin**
An S Card?!
**[11:48] ReceptionistA**
Yes.
**[11:49] Mark**
What should we do, Shinemon?
**[11:52] ReceptionistB**
Excuse me, are you Shinemon Nitta?
**[11:56] ReceptionistB**
The president has instructed us to contact her
immediately if Mr. Nitta came to see her.
**[12:03] Shin**
No, no!
**[12:04] Shin**
I'm definitely not that suspicious
high school student Nitta!
**[12:09] ReceptionistB**
High school student...?
**[12:10] Mark**
This is going badly...
**[12:12] Shin**
We've gotta make a run for that elevator!
**[12:15] ReceptionistA**
Excuse me.
**[12:17] ReceptionistA**
Surely you weren't intending to use
that elevator without permission...
**[12:23] ReceptionistA**
But if you did have that in mind...
***SIGN*** Card Capital: Defend It to the End Oppose the Evil Esuka Group's Oppression! No Foreclosures

Will Shinemon be okay?
**[12:35] Mikuru**
He was the one who said he wouldn't
set foot in the president's office,
**[12:39] Mikuru**
but he's ended up going over there.
**[12:41] Mikuru**
He'll probably fight her, too.
**[12:44] Tatsuya**
You don't play Vanguard yourself, Shindou?
**[12:48] Mikuru**
It's just, the fighters I know...
**[12:54] Mikuru**
...are all weirdos!
**[12:55] Mikuru**
So I have the feeling that if I started
playing Vanguard, I'd end up just like them.
**[13:00] Tatsuya**
I don't think that would happen.
**[13:03] Mikuru**
Huh? Where's Sub Manager?
**[13:09] Nanami**
Huh?
**[13:10] Nanami**
I thought I heard a kitten meowing...

Just your imagination.

Who are they?!
**[13:23] ReceptionistA**
S Rank members.
**[13:26] ReceptionistA**
They both fought before the president,
so they each received an S Card.
**[13:32] Shin**
I see.
**[13:33] Shin**
So!
**[13:34] Shin**
How does one become an S Rank member?
**[13:38] ReceptionistA**
Well, this building is separated
into fight floors, according to skill level.
***SIGN*** C Rank
**[13:44] ReceptionistA**
If the floor leader gives permission,
the member moves up a rank.
***SIGN*** B Rank
***SIGN*** A Rank
***SIGN*** S Rank
**[13:47] ReceptionistA**
In the end, if Esuka Hibino approves,
they can become an S Rank member.
**[13:54] Shin**
So I just have to keep winning, right?
**[13:56] Mark**
Shinemon, you have a deck?
**[13:58] Shin**
The one Esuka left behind.
**[14:00] Mark**
Well then!
**[14:03] Shin**
We start with the first checkpoint.
**[14:06] Mark**
They're all kids...
**[14:09] Shin**
Well, this is the beginners' floor.
**[14:12] Floor LeaderA**
Hi, guys. Is this your first time here?
**[14:16] Mark**
Verily!
**[14:17] Shin**
Are you the floor leader?
**[14:19] Floor LeaderA**
Yeah, that's right...
**[14:21] Shin**
I'm Nitta--
**[14:22] Mark**
He means...
**[14:23] Shin**
...the Fighter With No Name!
**[14:25] Shin**
Bring it on!
**[14:28] Mark**
Let us make this...
***SIGN*** Fair Fight
**[14:30] Mark**
...a fair fight!
**[14:32] Shin**
The finishing stroke!
**[14:34] Floor LeaderA**
That was a great fight!
**[14:36] Floor LeaderA**
You clearly don't belong
on the beginners' floor.
**[14:39] Floor LeaderA**
You may go up to the next one.
**[14:41] Shin**
Thank you very much!
**[14:43] Floor LeaderB**
I'm impressed!
**[14:45] Floor LeaderB**
Go on up to the next floor!
**[14:47] Shin**
Thank you!
**[14:49] Floor LeaderC**
Go on up!
**[14:50] Shin**
Thank you!
**[14:51] Floor LeaderD**
Go up!
**[14:52] Shin**
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
**[14:54] Tonori**
Huh...?
**[14:56] Nanami**
White Lily Musketeer, Cecilia attacks.
**[14:59] Tonori**
Wh-What?!
**[15:01] Tonori**
Perfect guard with Halo Shield, Mark.
**[15:04] Nanami**
So, what were you saying?
**[15:06] Nanami**
There's a fighter steadily
moving his way up the ranks?
**[15:08] Floor LeaderE**
Yes. Actually, two of them.
**[15:11] Floor LeaderE**
I don't know their names,
since they're both here on a trial visit.
**[15:15] Nanami**
Strong fighters are always welcome,
**[15:18] Nanami**
but I'm not happy about
Esuka headquarters being made light of.
**[15:21] Tonori**
Yeah.
**[15:23] Nanami**
Yeah.
**[15:24] Shin**
We're almost there!
**[15:27] Delinquent**
You punk!
**[15:28] Delinquent**
Why won't you promote me to S Rank already?!
**[15:33] Floor LeaderF**
I... I told you...!
Your skill isn't up to S-Rank level!
**[15:38] Floor LeaderF**
Wasn't the last fight enough proof of that?!
**[15:41] Delinquent**
You askin' to get hurt, punk?!
**[15:43] Floor LeaderF**
Besides, I couldn't send someone
with boorish behavior up to see Esuka!
**[15:49] Delinquent**
Say what?!
**[15:50] Shin**
Okay then!
**[15:51] Shin**
Pardon me.
**[15:53] Shin**
You're the floor leader, right?
**[15:56] Shin**
Would you fight me?
**[15:58] Delinquent**
Hey, butt out!
**[16:00] Shin**
What?! You're in my way!
**[16:03] Shin**
I must get to the
president's office, immediately!
**[16:06] Floor LeaderF**
The president's office?
**[16:08] Mark**
Correct! He happens to be
a huge fan of President Esuka Hibino!
**[16:12] Mark**
Verily, it is his dream to achieve S Rank
and then meet the president!
**[16:16] Shin**
That isn't my dream!
**[16:20] Nanami**
Who are the anonymous fighters
racing their way up through the ranks?
**[16:26] Nanami**
I feel like I've seen you somewhere before...
**[16:29] Tonori**
Weren't they the guys
giving the receptionists a hard time?
**[16:32] Shin**
You're those S Rank members!
**[16:35] Tonori**
Your speedrun ends here.
**[16:37] Nanami**
We'll see just how good you are.
**[16:39] Shin**
Great, I'll be happy to show you!
**[16:42] Mark**
You should calm down, Shinemon.
**[16:44] Mark**
They are S Rank.
**[16:46] Mark**
The chances of you
beating them with that beginner's deck...
**[16:50] Mark**
...are verily worse than
the Battle of Okehazama!
**[16:53] Shin**
I see.
**[16:55] Mark**
Leave them to me.
**[16:57] Shin**
Got it. I'm counting on you.
**[17:01] Mark**
Greetings!
**[17:02] Mark**
For certain reasons,
I am unable to reveal my name,
**[17:05] Mark**
but I have come here with a purpose.
**[17:09] Mark**
You may call me Ninja Master!
**[17:12] Nanami**
I'm Nanami Gonomi.
**[17:14] Tonori**
Tonori Fujinami.
**[17:16] Mark**
Tonoris?!
**[17:17] Mark**
Tono!
**[17:20] Mark**
My lord! Please forgive my rudeness!
**[17:22] Mark**
Verily, a ninja must never
turn his blade upon a lord!
**[17:27] Mark**
Oh, Tono!
**[17:29] Nanami**
What will you do?
**[17:31] Nanami**
It looks like your friend's surrendered.
**[17:35] Shin**
What'll I do?!
**[17:37] Shin**
No... wait a sec.
**[17:40] Shin**
I didn't come here looking for a fight.
**[17:44] Shin**
All I want to do is get my deck back.
**[17:47] Shin**
So, then...
**[17:49] Nanami**
What are you muttering about?
**[17:51] Shin**
Aren't you...
**[17:55] Shin**
...a cat-lover?
**[17:57] Nanami**
Wh-What are you talking about?!
**[17:59] Shin**
You did hear a cat meow downstairs.
**[18:03] Nanami**
Huh?
**[18:05] Nanami**
I thought I heard a kitten meowing...
**[18:08] Shin**
Only a true cat-lover would notice that!
**[18:13] Shin**
To think a cat-lover like you
would be so close to Esuka Hibino, a cat-hater!
**[18:18] Shin**
Now, what would happen if Esuka ever found out?
**[18:22] Nanami**
Are you threatening me?!
**[18:23] Shin**
I could keep my mouth shut,
depending on the circumstances.
**[18:26] Shin**
I'd even place that kitten's
paw pads right here.
**[18:29] Nanami**
Th-that kitten's...
**[18:31] Nanami**
...paw pads?!
**[18:33] Shin**
I just wanna go to the president's office.
**[18:36] Shin**
Lend me your S Card.
**[18:37] Nanami**
R-Ridiculous! I can't do that!
**[18:40] Shin**
Are you sure about that?
**[18:44] Shin**
Look!
**[18:46] Nanami**
P-Paw pads!
**[18:48] Nanami**
But I can't! I could never betray Esuka!
**[18:54] Nanami**
Th-That's playing dirty!
**[18:56] Shin**
So, what's it going to be?
**[18:58] Shin**
The paw pads are right here...
**[18:59] Shin**
Well? Well? Well?!
**[19:03] Nanami**
Forgive me, Esuka!
**[19:08] Shin**
You keep her company, Sub Manager!
**[19:10] Shin**
I mean Manager!
**[19:13] Nanami**
Yay!
**[19:14] Nanami**
Aww, I'm in heaven!
**[19:21] Shin**
Let's go, Mark!
**[19:25] Shin**
All right! Is this the president's office?
**[19:28] Shin**
Where is it? Where's my deck?!
**[19:36] Shin**
These are...!
**[19:43] Shin**
I'll look elsewhere...
**[19:47] Shin**
Double doors!
**[19:49] Shin**
Suspicious!
**[19:53] Esuka**
Oh!
**[19:54] Shin**
Why is there a bath in the president's office?!
**[19:57] Esuka**
This is my private suite.
**[20:00] Esuka**
The president's office is upstairs.
**[20:02] Shin**
Whatever, just cover yourself!
**[20:05] Esuka**
Being looked at by a child like you
doesn't faze me in the least.
**[20:08] Shin**
Darn it!
**[20:11] Mark**
Where were you?
**[20:12] Mark**
It's in there...
**[20:15] Shin**
Yes! It's my deck, Mark!
**[20:19] Shin**
Let's get outta here!
**[20:23] Shin**
Here! Sorry.
**[20:24] Shin**
Return this to a girl named Nanami.
**[20:27] Shin**
Thanks!
**[20:28] Delinquent**
Hey.
**[20:29] Delinquent**
You made me look like a chump earlier.
**[20:33] Delinquent**
If you wanna get past me...
**[20:35] Shin**
Of course you want to fight, right?
**[20:37] Shin**
Sure! Now I've got this!
**[20:41] Shin**
Let's go, partner!
**[20:44] Shin/Delinquent**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[20:49] Shin**
Uranus's skill activates!
**[20:51] Shin**
I got an Imaginary Gift, Force I!
**[20:58] Mark**
That is the fifth Imaginary Force!
**[21:01] Mark**
And that means...
**[21:04] Shin**
...Circle Shift!
**[21:06] Shin**
Once Uranus has five Imaginary Gifts,
**[21:09] Shin**
the rear guard circle behind
the Vanguard becomes the Astral Plane!
**[21:15] Shin**
And standing on that Astral Plane is...
**[21:26] Shin**
Rewrite the imagination!
**[21:30] Shin**
O great planetary guardian deity!
**[21:32] Shin**
Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
**[21:41] Shin**
Valkerion, Zodiac Blazer!
**[21:51] Mark**
That's the game!
**[21:53] The Two**
And we're off!
**[22:00] Esuka**
Those boys...
**[22:02] Esuka**
Why on earth did they come here?
**[22:06] Esuka**
Well?
**[22:07] Esuka**
What do you think?
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card
is Shinemon Nitta's ace in the hole,
***SIGN*** Gleaming Lord, Uranus
**[23:51] Narrator**
Gleaming Lord, Uranus!
**[23:53] Narrator**
With its skill, the player
can obtain Imaginary Gift Force!
**[23:56] Narrator**
If it appears by being ridden,
the player gets two Forces at once!
**[24:00] Narrator**
And if there are five or more Forces
on the Vanguard Circle,
**[24:03] Narrator**
the rear guard circle behind this unit
becomes the Astral Plane!
**[24:05] Narrator**
There, you can summon the ultra-powerful unit
Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride the Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride the Vanguard!
**[24:15] Tatsuya**
Shindou, your big brother said he was
going to buy diapers. Does that mean...?
**[24:19] Mikuru**
That's right! My dumb brother is a new dad.
**[24:23] Mikuru**
He's a baby boy with adorable bangs,
**[24:25] Mikuru**
just like a beautiful Lemniscate of Bernoulli.
**[24:28] Tatsuya**
Huh?
**[24:28] Mikuru**
That comes from Jakob Bernoulli,
not the Bernoulli of Bernoulli's Principle.
**[24:32] Mikuru**
Oh, Bernoulli's Principle is the one
that explains how airplanes fly.
**[24:35] Tatsuya**
I don't follow...
**[24:37] Mikuru**
If you're not familiar with the Lemniscate
of Bernoulli, I doubt I can describe it to you.
***SIGN*** Dimension 3
First Time Holding the Fort

**[00:03] Esuka**
I've called you two here for one reason.
**[00:11] Esuka**
Shinemon Nitta.
**[00:13] Esuka**
A short while ago,
he intruded into my private room.
**[00:16] Tonori**
Seriously, yo?
**[00:17] Nanami**
Don't tell me that guy
wearing glasses was Shinemon?!
**[00:22] Esuka**
He gained entrance with your S Card, Nanami.
**[00:26] Tonori**
Seriously, yo?!
**[00:28] Nanami**
Who are you kidding, Tonori?!
You were right next to me!
**[00:33] Tonori**
Who's that?
**[00:34] Esuka**
I believe she's a friend of Shinemon.
**[00:37] Esuka**
You do know what to do, correct?

**[00:45] Tatsuya**
Hello!
**[00:49] Tatsuya**
Huh? Has something happened?
**[00:51] Mark**
Tatsuya! I'll say something's happened!
**[00:53] Mark**
Shinemon is going to do a flyover!
**[00:56] Tatsuya**
F-Flyover?
**[01:00] Mikuru**
No, he's going to be a *holdover*!
**[01:02] Mark**
Oh! My mistake!
**[01:05] Mikuru**
Shinemon didn't take any of the exams
at school, so he'll have to repeat the year!
**[01:10] Tatsuya**
What happened?
**[01:11] Shin**
When we stole our way into
Esuka headquarters the other day,
**[01:15] Shin**
I saw...
**[01:17] Shin**
...that woman's...
**[01:22] Mark**
N-Nosebleed?
**[01:24] Tatsuya**
What? What did you see, Shinemon?!
**[01:27] Shin**
I can't say it!
**[01:29] Shin**
If I do, it'll expose you to danger, too!
**[01:32] Tatsuya**
It's that bad?!
**[01:34] Shin**
And I'm scared of Esuka's vengeance,
**[01:37] Shin**
so I've been holed up here 24 hours a day.
**[01:42] Mark**
Shinemon, if you act now, there's still time!
**[01:45] Mark**
The teachers said that if you do well enough
on the make-up exams, you won't have to retreat!
**[01:49] Mikuru**
That's *repeat*.
**[01:51] Shin**
Thanks, Mark.
**[01:52] Shin**
But...
**[01:54] Shin**
...I'm not taking any make-ups!
**[01:56] Mikuru**
What are you saying?!
**[01:58] Shin**
Even if I took the make-ups now,
the result would be the same!
**[02:01] Shin**
So I choose to quit school altogether, and take
the path of living as this shop's manager!
**[02:06] Mark**
You just don't want to study, do you?
**[02:09] Shin**
You got me with an average jab!
**[02:10] Mikuru**
Do you really think you'd get away with
becoming manager for a lousy reason like that?!
**[02:14] Mark**
Just take the make-up exams!
**[02:16] Shin**
I told you, no!
**[02:17] Shin**
I'm quitting school!
**[02:19] Tatsuya**
E-Excuse me!
**[02:22] Tatsuya**
Please take the make-ups.
**[02:23] Tatsuya**
While you're out, I'll protect this shop
as your number one disciple!
**[02:29] Shin**
Number one disciple?
**[02:31] Mark**
Since when?
**[02:32] Mikuru**
Well said!
**[02:34] Mikuru**
Hand over the shop key!
**[02:38] Mikuru**
The shop is in your hands!
**[02:43] Tatsuya**
Right!
**[02:44] Shin**
Uh, but...
**[02:45] Mikuru**
What, are you going to say you don't
trust your number one disciple?
**[02:49] Shin**
No, that's not the issue...
**[02:55] Shin**
The strength of imagination!
**[02:58] Shin**
That's the strength of Vanguard!
**[03:03] Shin**
Don't get dominated by
your opponent's imagination!
**[03:06] Shin**
Rewrite that imagination!

Who is it?
**[04:53] Shin**
It's me! Open up!
**[04:56] Tatsuya**
Okay!
**[04:56] Tatsuya**
At once!
**[04:59] Tatsuya**
Did you forget something?
**[05:00] Shin**
You're the one who forgot!
**[05:02] Tatsuya**
Wh-Why?!
**[05:03] Shin**
What if I'd been one of
Esuka's goons in disguise?!
**[05:08] Shin**
Don't open that door, even if you think it's me!
**[05:11] Shin**
Don't take Esuka and her lackeys lightly!
**[05:13] Tatsuya**
Okay! I've learned my lesson!
**[05:16] Mark**
Hurry up, Shinemon.
**[05:18] Shin**
Coming!
**[05:19] Tatsuya**
See you later!
**[05:20] Shin**
Right! I'm counting on you!
**[05:22] Mikuru**
Say, Tatsuya...
**[05:24] Mikuru**
Are you sure you want to be that guy's disciple?
**[05:28] Mikuru**
My big brother's a real goof,
***SIGN*** Ramen Noodles Salt
**[05:30] Mikuru**
but Shinemon's so bad, he's Applesauce Cinnamon!
**[05:34] Mikuru**
Barricading himself in a card shop!
**[05:36] Tatsuya**
But his passion for Vanguard is the real thing.
**[05:40] Tatsuya**
The beauty of Shinemon's playing,
**[05:42] Tatsuya**
his concentration and inspiration,
his luck of the draw...
**[05:45] Tatsuya**
All of them are wonderful!
**[05:48] Tatsuya**
He's my ideal... my vanguard!
**[05:54] Tatsuya**
Besides...
**[05:56] Tatsuya**
...this shop somehow reminds me
**[06:00] Tatsuya**
of the card shop I used to go to.
**[06:04] Tatsuya**
When I went there, I was always among friends.
**[06:07] Tatsuya**
I had a lot of good times.
**[06:12] Tatsuya**
I think Shinemon is trying
to protect that kind of place.
**[06:17] Tatsuya**
And I'd like to help him out.
**[06:24] Mikuru**
Okay.
**[06:25] Mikuru**
Then until Shinemon gets back,
I'll hold the fort with you.

I thought Shinemon would be back by now.
**[07:09] Mikuru**
Are you hungry?
**[07:10] Tatsuya**
Yes, a little...
**[07:13] Mikuru**
Come with me.
**[07:17] Mikuru**
Why don't we have these?

Are you sure it's okay?

Man, I'm starvin'.

You get poor mileage, Tonori.
**[07:33] Nanami**
We just had curry.
**[07:35] Tonori**
I could use three more bowls, yo.
**[07:38] Nanami**
We have to take care of business first.
**[07:44] Tonori**
Somethin' smells good...
**[08:01] Tatsuya**
Wh-Who is it?
**[08:03] Nanami**
Is Mikuru there?
**[08:05] Mikuru**

**[08:08] Tatsuya**
Hey! Shindou!

She's here, yo.

Hiss!
**[08:13] Sub Manager**
Hiss!
**[08:16] Nanami**
We meet again, huh, kitty?
**[08:21] Tatsuya**
Who are you?
**[08:24] Nanami**
I'm Nanami Gonomi.
**[08:26] Tonori**
And I'm Tonori Fujinami, yo.

Just call me Tonori.

Oh, okay!
**[08:35] Tatsuya**
That's...
**[08:36] Tatsuya**
...the legendary S Card,
given only to S Rank members?!
**[08:41] Mikuru**
What is it?!
**[08:42] Tatsuya**
These two work for Esuka!
**[08:45] Nanami**
Hey.
**[08:46] Nanami**
Would you come with us?

Somebody, help!

That's right!
**[09:17] Tatsuya**
I'm the sub manager right now.

Until Shinemon gets back,
I have to protect this shop!

to take her with us, right?
**[09:45] Nanami**
Tonori, you take this one.
**[09:47] Tonori**
If I win, can I get a double cheeseburger?
**[09:50] Nanami**
We'll make it a combo, with cola and fries.
**[09:56] Tonori**
Come to think of it,
I didn't catch your name, yo.
**[10:00] Tatsuya**
Tatsuya Tachibana.
**[10:02] Tatsuya**
I'm Shinemon's number one disciple!
**[10:05] Nanami**
There's no way you can win this, silly.
**[10:07] Mikuru**
Why do you say that?!
**[10:09] Nanami**
Out of the S Rank members,
Tonori is ranked number two.
**[10:12] Mikuru**
Who's number one?
**[10:15] Nanami**
Obviously, that would be me.
**[10:19] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[10:23] Tatsuya**
First Aid Celestial, Peniel!
**[10:29] Tonori**
Spring Breeze Messenger!
**[10:32] Tatsuya**
I go first.
**[10:35] Tatsuya**
I ride!
**[10:36] Tatsuya**
Marking Celestial, Arabhaki!
**[10:43] Tatsuya**
Can I beat an S Rank member?
**[10:47] Tatsuya**
No, I have to beat him,
**[10:50] Tatsuya**
at least to keep my promise to Shinemon!
**[11:09] Nanami**
His clan is Angel Feather, huh?
**[11:11] Nanami**
A legion of angels that are
good at assisting and healing.
**[11:15] Mikuru**
Angels?
**[11:17] Nanami**
You didn't know?
**[11:18] Mikuru**
I don't play Vanguard.
**[11:21] Nanami**
Then why are you here?!
**[11:23] Mikuru**
Well, that's... a good question.
**[11:26] Nanami**
Whatever. I'll explain it
so even you can understand.
**[11:29] Nanami**
Tonori's clan is Gold Paladin.
**[11:32] Nanmi**
It's a tight-knit order of
gold knights within United Sanctuary.
**[11:36] Tonori**
I ride.
**[11:38] Tonori**
Little Battler, Tron.
**[11:41] Tonori**
On top of that, I call
Evil Slaying Swordsman, Haugan!
**[11:46] Tonori**
Let's go, Haugan!
**[11:48] Haugan**
No problem!
**[11:50] Tatsuya**
No guard!
**[11:57] Nanami**
Uh oh, he didn't guard...
**[12:00] Nanami**
When the Vanguard's attack hits,
**[12:02] Nanami**
Haugan can summon a friend from the deck.
**[12:06] Tonori**
I superior call Listener of Truth, Dindrane, yo.
**[12:12] Tonori**
Dindrane's skill activates.
**[12:16] Nanami**
And then Tron also calls on a friend.
**[12:24] Tatsuya**
What?!
**[12:26] Tonori**
I'm gonna finish this ASAP, yo.
**[12:29] Tonori**
Dindrane boosts and Sagramore attacks, yo!
**[12:35] Tatsuya**
Hot Shot Celestial, Samyaza guards!
**[12:41] Tatsuya**
Even though it's only the second turn,
he's already using grade 3 units?!
**[12:46] Nanami**
If you're not careful,
it'll be over before you know it.
**[12:49] Mikuru**
Tatsuya!
**[12:53] Shin**
Don't get flustered, Tatsuya!
**[12:55] Tatsuya**
Shinemon!
**[12:56] Shin**
Don't be afraid!
**[12:58] Shin**
What's important is not getting dominated
by your opponent's imagination.
**[13:02] Shin**
Be assertive and rewrite that imagination!
**[13:07] Tatsuya**
That's right.
**[13:08] Tatsuya**
He's just dealt me opening damage.
**[13:10] Tatsuya**
I'll calm down and look
for a path to a counterattack!
**[13:13] Tatsuya**
I ride!
**[13:16] Tatsuya**
Rear Impetus Celestial, Armaiti!
**[13:20] Tatsuya**
Its skill activates!
**[13:22] Tatsuya**
I superior call Underlay Celestial, Hesediel
from the Damage Zone!
**[13:29] Tatsuya**
Come, Million Ray Pegasus!
**[13:39] Tonori**
To me, Dantegal!
**[13:42] Tatsuya**
Drive check!
**[13:44] Tatsuya**
Critical trigger!
**[13:45] Tatsuya**
I give all of the effects
to Million Ray Pegasus!
**[13:49] Tatsuya**
Go!
**[13:57] Tonori**
First check.
**[13:58] Tonori**
Second check.
**[14:00] Mikuru**
Yes! That makes 2 damage!
**[14:02] Nanami**
Looks like you're somewhat
familiar with it after all. But...
**[14:08] Nanami**
...I wonder how much longer he can hold out.
**[14:10] Mikuru**
Huh? What do you mean?
**[14:24] Tonori**
I ride!
**[14:26] Tonori**
Liberator of the Flute, Escrad!
**[14:30] Tonori**
Its skill activates!
**[14:33] Tonori**
I superior call
Stronghold of the Black Chains, Hoel!
**[14:36] Tatsuya**
Again?!
**[14:37] Tonori**
And then I call Player of the Holy Bow, Viviane!
**[14:40] Tonori**
Its skill activates!
**[14:46] Tonori**
I superior call Hoel!
**[14:52] Tonori**
Go!
**[14:54] Tatsuya**
Samyaza, please!
**[14:57] Tonori**
Outta my way!
**[15:02] Tatsuya**
No guard!
**[15:06] Tonori**
Drive check.
**[15:10] Tatsuya**
A critical trigger?!
**[15:12] Tonori**
I give the power to Viviane
and the extra critical to Escrad!
**[15:16] Tatsuya**
Damage check!
**[15:24] Tonori**
I'm still not done with you!
**[15:29] Tatsuya**
No guard!
**[15:36] Nanami**
Now he has 4 damage.
**[15:39] Tonori**
It's your turn.
**[15:42] Tonori**
Hurry up, already!
**[15:46] Tatsuya**
What's with him?
**[15:48] Tatsuya**
He seems totally different from before.
**[15:51] Tatsuya**
But there's no sense thinking about it.
**[15:54] Tatsuya**
I have to focus on my own fighting!
**[15:56] Tatsuya**
I ride!
**[16:00] Tatsuya**
Mobile Hospital, Feather Palace!
**[16:06] Tatsuya**
Imaginary Gift, Protect I!
**[16:09] Tatsuya**
Next, I call Hesediel!
**[16:11] Tatsuya**
Its skill activates!
**[16:15] Tatsuya**
I call Wild Shot Celestial, Raguel!
**[16:19] Tatsuya**
Raguel's skill activates!
**[16:23] Tatsuya**
I superior call Arabhaki from the Drop Zone!
**[16:29] Tatsuya**
Hesediel boosts, and Raguel attacks!
**[16:33] Tonori**
I guard with Flame of Victory!
**[16:37] Tatsuya**
I'm not done yet!
**[16:40] Tonori**
No guard!
**[16:41] Tatsuya**
Twin drive!
**[16:42] Tatsuya**
First check!
**[16:44] Tatsuya**
Second check!
**[16:46] Nanami**
A heal trigger?!
**[16:47] Mikuru**
All right!
**[16:55] Tatsuya**
I'm still not done!
**[16:57] Tatsuya**
With a boost from Hesediel,
Million Ray Pegasus attacks Sagramore!
**[17:08] Tonori**
Sagramore!
**[17:10] Tatsuya**
How about that?!
**[17:12] Tonori**
Not bad.
**[17:15] Tonori**
But you just lost this by
not clinching it right there!
**[17:21] Tatsuya**
Why...?
**[17:24] Tatsuya**
I still have only 3 damage.
**[17:27] Tonori**
I ride!
**[17:31] Tonori**
Knight of Fury, Agravain!
**[17:36] Tonori**
Imaginary Gift, Accel I!
**[17:43] Tonori**
I can't take any more!
**[17:52] Tonori**
I'm so hungry...
**[17:54] Tonori**
...I feel like I'm gonna die!
**[17:59] Mikuru**
What's this now?
**[18:00] Nanami**
When Tonori gets hungry,
**[18:02] Nanami**
he loses his reason and becomes a brute.
**[18:08] Nanami**
Go ahead. Eat as much as you like.
**[18:11] Nanami**
Devour all the prey!
**[18:15] Shin**
Why do I have butterflies in my stomach?
**[18:18] Shin**
I have a bad feeling about this.
**[18:20] Teacher**
Nitta!
**[18:21] Shin**
Y-Yes?!
**[18:26] Teacher**
Well done.
**[18:29] Teacher**
You passed.
**[18:32] Shin**
It's a miracle!
**[18:35] Teacher**
Now you have English, physics, modern Japanese,
**[18:37] Teacher**
art, chemistry, social studies, economics...
**[18:43] Mark**
What's this?
**[18:44] Mark**
"I'm... worried about... the shop... so...
**[18:48] Mark**
...go on ahead."
**[18:52] Mark**
You can depend on me!
**[18:56] Tonori**
Tron attacks your Vanguard!
**[18:58] Tatsuya**
Armaiti guards!
**[19:02] Tonori**
Jerkface! Quit trying to buy yourself time!
**[19:08] Tonori**
Go!
**[19:13] Tatsuya**
Damage check!
**[19:18] Nanami**
That makes 4 damage!
**[19:20] Tonori**
Hoel boosts, and Kahedin attacks your Vanguard!
**[19:24] Tatsuya**
Sunny Smile Angel guards!
**[19:31] Tonori**
Agravain attacks your Vanguard!
**[19:33] Tonori**
Its skill activates!
**[19:36] Tonori**
I'm gonna gobble up your lives!
**[19:39] Tonori**
Delish!
**[19:42] Tatsuya**
What are you trying to do?!
**[19:45] Tonori**
It absorbed all its allies into the Soul,
**[19:48] Tonori**
and now, for each ally I called this turn,
I can summon another one from my deck!
**[19:54] Tonori**
For this turn, I called three cards!
**[20:07] Tatsuya**
Wh-What?!
**[20:13] Tatsuya**
You can still attack with that many units?!
**[20:17] Tonori**
You ain't seen nothing yet!
**[20:19] Tonori**
Escrad's skill activates!
**[20:21] Tonori**
I superior call Flame of Victory!
**[20:33] Tatsuya**
Sunny Smile Angel guards!
**[20:36] Tonori**
Twin drive!
**[20:37] Tonori**
First check!
**[20:39] Tonori**
Front trigger!
**[20:41] Nanami**
With that, all of the front row units
get +10,000 power!
**[20:43] Tonori**
Second check!
**[20:48] Tonori**
Escrad attacks your Vanguard!
**[20:54] Tatsuya**
It's no use.
**[20:55] Tatsuya**
Even if I guard against this,
he still has two more attacks.
**[20:58] Tatsuya**
I can't stave them off!
**[21:04] Tatsuya**
No guard...
**[21:09] Tonori**
Go, you guys.
**[21:13] Tatsuya**
I'm sorry, Shinemon!
**[21:20] Tatsuya**
I couldn't...
**[21:22] Tatsuya**
...keep...
**[21:24] Tatsuya**
...my promise!
**[21:32] Mark**
I'm back!
**[21:34] Mark**
Shinemon has more make-ups
to do, so I came back...
**[21:40] Mark**
Tatsuya?
**[21:41] Mark**
Are you here?
**[21:47] Mark**
Tatsuya!
**[21:49] Mark**
What the heck happened?!
**[21:55] Tatsuya**
Agents... of Esuka... took Shindou... away...
**[22:03] Mark**
Why...?
**[22:07] Teacher**
Great!
**[22:08] Teacher**
Next is health and physical education.
**[22:11] Shin**
Nooo!
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card
is Tatsuya's ace in the hole,
**[23:51] Narrator**
Mobile Hospital, Feather Palace!
***SIGN*** Mobile Hospital, Feather Palace
**[23:54] Narrator**
When attacking, if the player does
a Soulblast with two grade 3 cards,
**[23:57] Narrator**
this unit gains +20,000 power
and an extra critical!
**[24:01] Narrator**
On top of that, an opponent's
perfect guard won't work against this unit,
**[24:04] Narrator**
giving you the perfect chance
to turn things around!
**[24:06] Narrator**
Though Angel Feather's specialty is defense,
**[24:08] Narrator**
this unit can become the
keystone of your end-game offense!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Mark**
Even though Tatsuya was
utterly defeated by Esuka lackeys,
**[24:19] Mark**
you must take all those make-up exams,
or else reheat everything!
**[24:23] Shin**
Why, who left leftovers in the fridge, Mark...?!
**[24:25] Shin**
You meant "repeat"!
**[24:26] Mark**
Sorry! "Crow's feet," right?
**[24:28] Shin**
As you grow older,
twinkles in the eye turn into wrinkles...
**[24:31] Shin**
No, silly!
**[24:32] Mark**
"Rhenium"?
**[24:32] Shin**
That's a chemical element!
**[24:34] Mark**
"Realm"?
**[24:35] Shin**
That's a fantasyland!
**[24:36] Mark**
"Lupin"?
**[24:37] Shin**
Who, the third-generation gentleman thief
that travels all across the world
***SIGN*** Remind 4
Idol's Birth?

**[00:08] Mikuru**
Isn't this...?
**[00:14] Esuka**
I'm the one who ordered
Nanami and Tonori to bring you here.
**[00:19] Esuka**
I wanted to have a chance
to talk to you at length.
**[00:23] Mikuru**
What do you want with me?!
**[00:25] Esuka**
You're Mikuru Shindou, yes?
**[00:28] Esuka**
Mind if I call you Mikurun?
**[00:31] Esuka**
Mikurun, have you considered...
**[00:34] Esuka**
...becoming an idol?
**[00:40] Shin**
The strength of imagination!
**[00:43] Shin**
That's the strength of Vanguard!
**[00:48] Shin**
Don't get dominated by
your opponent's imagination!
**[00:51] Shin**
Rewrite that imagination!
***SIGN*** Remind 4 Idol's Birth?
**[02:32] Esuka**
Say...
**[02:34] Esuka**
How do you like this swimsuit?
**[02:37] Esuka**
Maybe I'll get a tan today...
**[02:40] Esuka**
This breeze feels great!
**[02:43] Mikuru**
So sexy...
**[02:46] Esuka**
I know, right?
**[02:47] Esuka**
I've had my eye on you for some time.
**[02:52] Esuka**
After all, you're often
with Shinemon Nitta, aren't you?
**[02:57] Esuka**
That's how I first noticed you.
**[02:59] Esuka**
I knew right away that
you had the makings of an idol.
**[03:02] Esuka**
Come on. Make your debut.
**[03:05] Mikuru**
No thank you!
**[03:06] Mikuru**
This is too out of the blue.
**[03:08] Mikuru**
And besides, I don't believe
I have what it takes to be a idol!
**[03:12] Esuka**
Don't take my opinion lightly.
**[03:15] Esuka**
I'm speaking as someone
who ushered in an age of idols.
**[03:19] Esuka**
You're a diamond in the rough
that just needs polishing, Mikurun.
**[03:23] Mikuru**
I'm a diamond in the rough?!
**[03:33] Mikuru**
What is this?
**[03:35] Esuka**
I'll leave you alone
for a while to think about it.
**[03:45] Esuka**
There are all kinds of things in here,
but don't touch any of them.
**[03:53] Mark**
You're awake!
**[03:57] Tatsuya**
Mark...
**[03:58] Mark**
Please fill me in.
**[04:01] Mark**
What exactly happened here?
**[04:03] Mark**
Where is Mikuru?
**[04:05] Tatsuya**
Oh no!
**[04:06] Tatsuya**
Shindou was taken away by Esuka's lackeys!
**[04:10] Mark**
Taken away?
**[04:11] Mark**
Oh! Like the movie where
monsters take away that little girl!
**[04:15] Tatsuya**
That's *Spirited Away*!
**[04:16] Mark**
Oh! My mistake!
**[04:18] Mark**
You mean she was kidnapped, huh?
**[04:21] Mark**
That's serious!
**[04:24] Mark**
Of all times for Shinemon not to be around...
**[04:27] Mark**
Well, what should we do?
**[04:29] Tatsuya**
It's my fault.
**[04:31] Tatsuya**
This only happened because I lost!
**[04:40] Mark**
I've got it!
**[04:41] Mark**
Let's you and me rescue Mikuru!
**[04:45] Tatsuya**
But if no one is minding the shop...
**[04:47] Mark**
Shinemon should be back soon.
**[04:50] Mark**
Until then, let's count on
the Sub Manager to hold the fort.
**[04:58] Mark**
Please, Manager!
**[05:04] Mark**
I'll write a missive to Shinemon
before we set out.
**[05:08] Tatsuya**
Maybe we should just wait for him to come back.
**[05:10] Mark**
The enemy is holding Mikuru hostage.
**[05:13] Mark**
We don't know what they're doing to her.
**[05:16] Mark**
For example, in the Warring States Period,
**[05:19] Mark**
they would whip prisoners,
crucify them, or saw off limbs,
**[05:22] Mark**
among other incredibly brutal forms of torture.
**[05:25] Tatsuya**
Let's go!
**[05:26] Tatsuya**
Let's go rescue Shindou right now!
**[05:35] Mikuru**
N-No way...
**[05:42] Tatsuya**
How do we get in?
**[05:44] Mark**
I shall use Ninja Art, Face of Fame Jutsu.
**[05:54] Tatsuya**
You said "Face of Fame," yet you're
hiding your face instead. Fascinating.
**[06:02] Mark**
It has been too long.
**[06:04] Floor Leader A**
Oh hey, good to see you.
**[06:07] Mark**
Verily, I have some business on a floor above.
**[06:10] Mark**
Might I just go up?
**[06:12] Floor Leader A**
Go right ahead.
**[06:14] Tatsuya**
I see now! This is the
ninja art "Face of Fame"...
**[06:21] Nanami**
Okay, that's far enough.
**[06:24] Nanami**
I figured you'd come.
**[06:26] Nanami**
But where is he?
**[06:27] Mark**
By "he," might you mean Shinemon?
**[06:31] Mark**
He will be here, in time.
**[06:33] Mark**
More importantly, where is Mikuru?
**[06:36] Nanami**
She's with Ms. Esuka.
**[06:38] Nanami**
We were told not to let anyone get by.
**[06:40] Tatsuya**
Give us back Shindou!
**[06:41] Tonori**
Yo...
**[06:46] Mark**
I demand you fight me!
**[06:49] Mark**
If you win, we will leave without another word.
**[06:52] Mark**
However, were I to win,
then you must allow us to pass!
**[07:01] Tonori**
I've gotta wait, yo?
**[07:02] Nanami**
Take care of him first.
**[07:07] Tonori**
A'ight.
**[07:10] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[07:12] Mark**
...verily!
**[07:13] Mark**
I ride!
**[07:16] Mark**
Evil Stealth Dragon, Ushimitsumaru!
**[07:19] Tonori**
I ride!
**[07:22] Tonori**
Spring Breeze Messenger!
**[07:26] Teacher**
Well done, Nitta.
**[07:29] Teacher**
You've completed all the makeup exams...
**[07:35] Teacher**
Hey! Aren't you going to say anything?!
**[07:37] Shin**
'hanks!
**[07:45] Mikuru**
I'll just take a little look...
**[07:47] Tonori**
I ride!
**[07:51] Tonori**
Little Battler, Tron!
**[07:53] Tonori**
Here comes Dindrane!
**[07:57] Tonori**
Let's go, yo!
**[07:59] Tonori**
Critical trigger!
**[08:06] Tonori**
Its skill activates!
**[08:09] Tonori**
Superior call, yo!
**[08:11] Tonori**
Player of the Holy Bow, Viviane!
**[08:14] Tonori**
Play away!
**[08:17] Mark**
Ninja Art, Guarding Jutsu!
**[08:21] Mark**
Ninja Art...
**[08:22] Mark**
...Riding Jutsu!
**[08:25] Mark**
Evil Stealth Dragon, Zangetsu!
**[08:27] Mark**
Ninja Art, Summoning Jutsu!
**[08:31] Mark**
I superior call Evil Decoy Token!
**[08:34] Mark**
Furthermore, on this turn, Evil Decoy Token
gains +5000 power when it boosts!
**[08:39] Nanami**
That's unusual.
**[08:42] Nanami**
He's Nubatama, yet he's using a token.
**[08:45] Mark**
I call Chigasumi!
**[08:46] Mark**
We go!
**[08:48] Mark**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[08:54] Mark**
Chigasumi attacks Viviane!
**[09:00] Mikuru**
Whoa!
**[09:02] Mikuru**
At least it's not as
embarrassing as the other one.
**[09:06] Mikuru**
That red outfit left my whole back bare!
**[09:10] Mikuru**
This one is much cuter, in my opinion.
**[09:21] Tonori**
I ride!
**[09:24] Tonori**
Liberator of the Flute, Escrad!
**[09:27] Tonori**
Its skill activates, yo!
**[09:31] Tonori**

**[09:34] Tonori**
Next, I call Hoel and Kahedin!
**[09:37] Tonori**
Hoel's skill activates, yo!
**[09:39] Tonori**
Kahedin's skill activates, yo!
**[09:43] Tonori**
I superior call Dindrane!
**[09:50] Tonori**
Kahedin! Let's go, yo!
**[09:53] Mark**
Ninja Art, Guarding Jutsu!
**[09:55] Tonori**
Dindrane, back me up, yo!
**[09:59] Mark**
No guard...
**[10:02] Mark**
Damage check!
**[10:04] Tatsuya**
A draw trigger!
**[10:06] Mark**
I give the power to my Vanguard!
**[10:11] Mark**
Intercept Jutsu!
**[10:15] Tatsuya**
He's making one attack after another.
Will Mark be okay?
**[10:19] Nanami**
To be fair,
**[10:20] Nanami**
he's pretty good at dodging,
**[10:21] Nanami**
that masked ninja guy...
**[10:26] Shin**
Nobody's here?! What the heck happened?!
**[10:31] Shin**
What's this?
**[10:34] Shin**
"Dear Shinemon, I shall be brief,
**[10:36] Shin**
for I write to you in great haste.
**[10:38] Shin**
We are now facing an emergency.
**[10:41] Shin**
Therefore, Tatsuya and I...
**[10:44] Shin**
...*are go-ing off to he-he-help*..."
**[10:47] Shin**
Why did he suddenly switch to English?!
**[10:50] Shin**
I'm the king of makeup exams!
Of course I can't read that!
**[10:53] Shin**
Darn you, Esuka! You waited
for me to leave and then struck!
**[10:59] Shin**
Oh, Sub Manager!
**[11:03] Shin**
What happened, Manager?
**[11:08] Shin**
You want me to follow you? All right!
**[11:13] Mikuru**
I'm not sure about wearing makeup...
**[11:16] Esuka**
I just have to see how you look in makeup.
**[11:20] Esuka**
You can leave after that.
**[11:27] Esuka**
Do you usually wear makeup?
**[11:32] Esuka**
I didn't think so.
**[11:34] Esuka**
Then I'll do it for you. Just sit still.
**[11:56] Mark**
Ninja Art, Riding Jutsu!
**[12:03] Mark**
Evil Stealth Dragon Akatsuki, Hanzo!
**[12:07] Mark**
Imaginary Gift, Protect I!
**[12:12] Mark**
I call!
**[12:13] Mark**
Kurogiri's skill activates!
**[12:16] Mark**
Ninja Art, Summoning Jutsu!
**[12:20] Mark**
I call two Evil Decoy Tokens!
**[12:23] Mark**

**[12:25] Mark**
Rally to me, Zangetsu!
**[12:28] Mark**

**[12:36] Mark**
Now, Zangetsu! You must go!
**[12:39] Tonori**
Guard! Flame of Victory!
**[12:44] Mark**
I shall now perform...
**[12:48] Mark**
...a drive check!
**[12:50] Mark**
Second check!
**[12:51] Tatsuya**
A critical trigger!
**[12:53] Mark**
Verily I shall give the power to Chigasumi,
and the extra critical to my Vanguard!
**[13:02] Tatsuya**
Keep it up, Mark!
**[13:12] Esuka**
All done.
**[13:15] Mikuru**
That's... me?!
**[13:23] Esuka**
Does Shinemon Nitta still go on
about the imagination?
**[13:28] Mikuru**
Why did you suddenly
bring up Exam-Skipping Cinnamon?
**[13:32] Esuka**
The imagination has power.
**[13:35] Esuka**
After all, imagination is the
foundation of human society.
**[13:40] Esuka**
Our world is composed of dreams people had,
that were then brought to reality.
**[13:46] Esuka**
You too, Mikuru. Try to imagine...
**[13:50] Esuka**
...yourself as an idol.
**[13:53] Mikuru**
Imagine myself as an idol?
**[14:15] Esuka**
That's it! That face!
**[14:20] Nanami**
It's begun.
**[14:28] Tatsuya**
Mark, be careful!
**[14:30] Tatsuya**
When he gets hungry,
he loses control and goes berserk!
**[14:35] Mark**
There is no need to worry.
**[14:37] Nanami**
Now, Tonori, devour all of the prey!
**[14:41] Tonori**
I can't take any more!
**[14:44] Tonori**
I ride!
**[14:52] Tonori**
Knight of Fury, Agravain!
**[14:55] Tonori**
Imaginary Gift, Accel I!
**[15:02] Tonori**
I call!
**[15:03] Tonori**
Kahedin!
**[15:05] Tonori**
Its skill activates!
**[15:08] Tonori**
I superior call Battlefield Tempest, Sagramore!
**[15:12] Tonori**
Its skill activates!
**[15:14] Tonori**
+10,000 power!
**[15:16] Tonori**
I call!
**[15:18] Tonori**
Hoel! Tron!
**[15:20] Tonori**
Hoel's skill activates!
**[15:23] Tatsuya**
Hoel's skill increased Tron's power?!
**[15:25] Tonori**
Kahedin, get 'em!
**[15:32] Mark**
Ninja Art, Guarding Jutsu!
**[15:36] Tonori**
You're up next, Sagramore!
**[15:42] Tonori**
Now you!
**[15:43] Tron**
Aye aye, sir!
**[15:46] Mark**
Ninja Art, Guarding Jutsu!
**[15:48] Mark**
Along with an intercept by Evil Decoy Token!
**[15:52] Tonori**
Agravain attacks Hanzo!
**[15:55] Tonori**
Its skill activates!
**[15:57] Tatsuya**
Mark!
**[15:58] Tonori**
I'm gonna gobble up your lives!
**[16:09] Tatsuya**
That's what he used against me!
**[16:11] Tonori**
I've called four cards this turn!
**[16:16] Tonori**
Sagramore! Escrad! Mark! Haugan!
**[16:20] Tonori**
On top of that, Escrad's skill activates!
**[16:23] Tonori**
I superior call Dantegal!
**[16:25] Tonori**
Counterblast! +5000 power!
**[16:31] Mark**
Ninja Art, Guarding Jutsu!
**[16:35] Tonori**
Drive check!
**[16:36] Tonori**
Critical trigger!
**[16:38] Tonori**
I give all of the effects to Sagramore!
**[16:41] Tonori**
Second check!
**[16:42] Tatsuya**
A double critical!
**[16:44] Tonori**
I give all of the effects to Escrad!
**[16:50] Tonori**
I'm not done with you!
**[16:52] Mark**
Protect activates, verily!
**[16:55] Tatsuya**
Yes!
**[16:56] Tonori**
Sagramore! You're up next!
**[16:59] Mark**
Ninja Art, Guarding Jutsu!
**[17:01] Mark**
Chigasumi and Evil Decoy Token
perform Ninja Art, Intercept Jutsu!
**[17:06] Tatsuya**
All right!
**[17:08] Tonori**
Then Mark attacks Zangetsu!
**[17:12] Mark**
Ninja Art, Substitution Jutsu!
**[17:16] Mark**
I change the target of
Mark's attack to Evil Decoy Token!
**[17:22] Tatsuya**
Amazing, Mark!
**[17:23] Tatsuya**
You withstood a string of seven attacks!
**[17:27] Mark**
Verily, in the course of
rewriting your imagination.
**[17:31] Nanami**
I can't believe he made it through
Tonori's gauntlet of attacks!
**[17:38] Tonori**
Someone gimme some food...
**[17:40] Nanami**
He really gets bad mileage.
**[17:44] Esuka**
Leave the makeup on when you go home.
**[17:46] Mikuru**
Is what you just told me true?!
**[17:50] Esuka**
Yes, it's true.
**[17:52] Esuka**
Back when I was an idol, I worked as
an exclusive idol for a certain card shop.
**[18:00] Esuka**
I consider you my successor, Mikurun.
**[18:03] Esuka**
You're going to be a busy card shop idol
based at Capital, once it becomes mine.
**[18:10] Mikuru**
What?!
**[18:11] Esuka**
You'll get to liven up that shop.
**[18:15] Esuka**
Not a bad deal, is it?
**[18:19] Mikuru**
Hi, everybody!
**[18:28] Mikuru**
What's important to me is...
**[18:31] Mark**
I call!
**[18:32] Mark**
Zangetsu's skill activates!
**[18:35] Mark**
Ninja Art, Summoning Jutsu!
**[18:38] Mark**
I perform it again!
**[18:42] Mark**
Ninja Art, Spiriting-Away Jutsu!
**[18:45] Mark**
Sagramore and Escrad return to your hand!
**[18:51] Mark**
Verily, you must also discard
two other cards from your hand!
**[18:56] Mark**
The winner shall soon be determined.
**[18:59] Mark**
Watch carefully!
**[19:03] Tatsuya**
It's not only to rescue Shindou...
**[19:06] Tatsuya**
Mark's fighting in order to rewrite
the fearful image I have of this guy!
**[19:14] Mark**
Verily, Hanzo attacks Agravain!
**[19:17] Mark**
I advance!
**[19:19] Tonori**
I guard with Dantegal and Flame of Victory!
**[19:23] Mark**
Drive check!
**[19:24] Tatsuya**
No trigger...
**[19:26] Mark**
Second check!
**[19:33] Mikuru**
What's important to me is...
**[19:36] Esuka**
Well?
**[19:38] Mikuru**
I prefer to forget about the entire idea!
**[19:44] Mikuru**
Please excuse me!
**[19:47] Esuka**
An illusive idol, huh...
**[19:54] Mark**
Verily, it is a critical trigger!
**[19:58] Mark**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
**[20:02] Tatsuya**
Yes!
**[20:05] Tonori**
Damage check!
**[20:07] Tatsuya**
That makes 5 damage!
**[20:12] Tonori**
No trigger...
**[20:15] Tonori**
I've...
**[20:18] Tonori**
...lost, yo...
**[20:25] Tatsuya**
You did it!
**[20:27] Mark**
You are no longer afraid of him, verily?
**[20:30] Tatsuya**
Nope! Thank you, Mark!
**[20:33] Mark**
While I am in this attire,
address me as Ninja Master!
**[20:40] Tonori**
Food where...
**[20:43] Nanami**
Here.
**[20:47] Tatsuya**
Shindou!
**[20:50] Tatsuya**
Thank goodness you're safe!
**[20:52] Tatsuya**
Are you okay?! What did they do to you?!
**[20:55] Mikuru**
I-I'm fine...
**[20:56] Mark**
Wooow!
**[20:59] Mark**
Mikuru is wearing makeup!
**[21:04] Tatsuya**
Oh, yeah!
**[21:05] Mark**
Verily, you are a true beauty.
**[21:08] Mikuru**
She kept trying to get me to become an idol!
**[21:13] Mark**
Then you were not actually kidnapped?
**[21:17] Mikuru**
Kidnapped? Me?
**[21:20] Tatsuya**
That's what we assumed.
**[21:23] Mark**
So what was your answer, Mikuru?
**[21:27] Mark**
Will you be making your idol debut?
**[21:30] Mikuru**
I turned her down.
**[21:33] Tatsuya**
You really turned her down?
**[21:36] Mikuru**
As if *I* could be an idol! Gimme a break!
**[21:39] Mikuru**
Of course I refused!
**[21:41] Mikuru**
Right from the start!
**[21:42] Mikuru**
She couldn't change my mind!
**[21:44] Mark**
Huh...
**[21:46] Nanami**
Refusing Esuka's invitation?
**[21:48] Nanami**
I've never heard of anyone doing that!

Hey, Sub Manager!
**[22:06] Shin**
Is this really the time for a snack stop?!
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card
is Tonori's ace in the hole,
**[23:51] Narrator**
Knight of Fury, Agravain!
***SIGN*** Knight of Fury, Agravain
**[23:53] Narrator**
If you place all your rear-guards
in the Soul when this attacks,
**[23:56] Narrator**
you can call a number of units
from the top of your deck
**[23:59] Narrator**
equal to the number
of units you called that turn!
**[24:01] Narrator**
Also, if you pay a Soul Blast of 12 cards,
**[24:04] Narrator**
your opponent can't guard with
trigger units during that battle!
**[24:07] Narrator**
This is a formidable unit that
specializes in taking down opponents!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Tatsuya**
You were so strong, Mark.
**[24:17] Tatsuya**
I know! Please make me your disciple!
**[24:19] Mark**
Aren't you already Shinemon's disciple, Tatsuya?
**[24:22] Tatsuya**
I have many masters in my life.
**[24:24] Tatsuya**
There's Master of Stationery Supplies...
**[24:26] Tatsuya**
Master of Small Portions...
**[24:28] Tatsuya**
Master of Unsociability...
**[24:29] Tatsuya**
Oh, and also Master of
Sneaking USB Memory Sticks
**[24:32] Tatsuya**
that Hold Mysterious and Exciting Data...
**[24:35] Mark**
That's a lot of masters,
but I couldn't say any are standouts...
**[24:39] Mark**
Like masters of all trades,
but jacks who aren't fun.

**[00:00] Tonori**
Escrad attacks your Vanguard!
**[00:05] Tatsuya**
It's no use.
**[00:06] Tatsuya**
Even if I guard against this,
he still has two more attacks.
**[00:10] Tatsuya**
I can't stave them off!
**[00:15] Tatsuya**
No guard...
**[00:20] Toniri**
Go, you guys.
**[00:23] Tatsuya**
I'm sorry, Shinemon!
**[00:31] Tatsuya**
I couldn't...
**[00:33] Tatsuya**
...keep...
**[00:35] Tatsuya**
...my promise!
**[00:40] Tatsuya**
How do we get in?
**[00:42] Mark**
I shall use Ninja Art, Face of Fame Jutsu.
**[00:50] Nanami**
Okay, that's far enough.
**[00:53] Nanami**
I figured you'd come.
**[00:55] Nanami**
But where is he?
**[00:57] Mark**
By "he," might you mean Shinemon?
**[01:00] Mark**
He will be here, in time.
**[01:03] Mark**
More importantly, where is Mikuru?
**[01:06] Nanami**
She's with Ms. Esuka.
**[01:07] Nanami**
We were told not to let anyone get by.
**[01:10] Tatsuya**
Give us back Shindou!
**[01:11] Tonori**
Yo...
**[01:16] Mark**
I demand you fight me!
**[01:19] Mark**
If you win, we will leave without another word.
**[01:22] Mark**
However, were I to win,
then you must allow us to pass!
**[01:31] Tonori**
I've gotta wait, yo?
**[01:32] Nanami**
Take care of him first.
**[01:36] Tonori**
A'ight.
**[01:38] Mark**
The winner shall soon be determined.
**[01:41] Mark**
Watch carefully!
**[01:47] Mark**
Verily, it is a critical trigger!
**[01:50] Mark**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
**[01:54] Tatsuya**
Yes!
**[01:57] Tonori**
Damage check!
**[02:00] Tatsuya**
That makes 5 damage!
**[02:05] Tonori**
No trigger...
**[02:07] Tonori**
I've...
**[02:11] Tonori**
...lost, yo...
**[02:17] Tatsuya**
You did it!
**[02:19] Mark**
You are no longer afraid of him, verily?

**[02:47] Mikuru**
I-I'm fine...
**[02:48] Mark**
Wooow!
**[02:51] Mark**
Mikuru is wearing makeup!
**[02:55] Tatsuya**
Oh, yeah!

Refusing Ms. Esuka's invitation?
**[03:40] Nanami**
I've never heard of anyone doing that!
**[03:45] Shin**
The strength of imagination!
**[03:48] Shin**
That's the strength of Vanguard!

Don't get dominated by

**[05:44] Nanami**
Get lost, Samurai Master!
**[05:47] Mark**
No! Not "samurai"!
**[05:50] Mark**
I am a ninja! Address me as Ninja Master!
**[05:54] Tatsuya**
I don't think ninjas wear helmets...
**[05:57] Nanami**
Ninja, schminja, whatever.
**[06:00] Mark**
I crave your pardon,
but it is not "whatever"!
**[06:04] Nanami**
That does it. I'm gonna
have you stuffed and mounted!
**[06:09] Mark**
Stuffed...?
**[06:10] Mark**
Verily, I cannot eat another bite!
**[06:14] Mark**
I will not partake of that!
**[06:16] Nanami**
We need to talk, afterwards.
**[06:22] Nanami**
You up for it, Ninja Mask?
**[06:24] Mark**
No! It's "Master"! Ninja Master!
**[06:27] Nanami**
What a pain in the neck.
**[06:28] Nanami**
If I win, I get to call you whatever I like.

Nice swift attack.
**[08:10] Nanami**
I ride!
**[08:15] Nanami**
Arboros Dragon, Timber!
**[08:18] Tatsuya**
So Nanami's clan is Neo Nectar...
**[08:22] Mikuru**
Is it a strong one?
**[08:23] Tatsuya**
Like with Mark's clan,
its specialty is making superior calls.
**[08:28] Mikuru**
"Superior"...?
**[08:29] Nanami**
I call!
**[08:31] Nanami**
Pansy Musketeer, Sylvia!
**[08:34] Nanami**
I superior call Plant Token!
**[08:39] Mark**
A Token possessing 10,000 power
the very moment it appears?
**[08:43] Nanami**
That's Timber's skill.
**[08:45] Nanami**
Did you assume you had a monopoly on Tokens?
**[08:48] Nanami**
I call Lily of the Valley Musketeer, Rebecca!
**[08:51] Nanami**
Its skill activates!
**[08:54] Mark**
Verily, this is troublesome.

Next, Sylvia attacks!
**[09:22] Tatsuya**
2 damage...
**[09:29] Shin**
You've got everyone in town
in the pad of your paw.
**[09:33] Shin**
But this is no time to marvel at that!
**[09:38] Shin**
"Mikuru... was... kid-na-pped..."
**[09:42] Shin**
What does "kidnapped" mean?
**[09:45] Fella**
That alien abduction movie was scary.

Abduction...

Abduction!
**[09:50] Shin**
Mikuru was abducted?!
**[09:53] Shin**
We can't just sit here!
**[09:55] Shin**
Darn it!
**[09:59] Mark**
Ninja Art, Riding Jutsu!
**[10:03] Mark**
Evil Stealth Dragon, Zangetsu!
**[10:07] Mark**

**[10:38] Mark**
Forward, Chigasumi!
**[10:41] Chigasumi**
Yes, sir!
**[10:45] Nanami**
Sylvia!
**[10:48] Mark**
Then I shall go!
**[10:58] Nanami**
Intercept!
**[11:03] Tatsuya**
It's a Token showdown!
**[11:06] Tatsuya**
Mark and Nanami both keep calling Tokens,
**[11:09] Tatsuya**
which help conserve cards in their hands
and allow for really efficient attacks.
**[11:13] Tatsuya**
Fascinating!
**[11:15] Mikuru**
Y-Yeah...
**[11:18] Shin**
All right...
**[11:20] Shin**
How do I sneak in?
**[11:23] Floor Leader A**
Huh? Hey there.
**[11:26] Floor Leader A**
Are you here for more fights?
**[11:28] Floor Leader A**
Your ninja buddy's already inside.
**[11:30] Shin**
Where did Mark go?!
**[11:35] Nanami**
I ride!
**[11:38] Nanami**
Arboros Dragon, Sephirot!
**[11:41] Nanami**
Imaginary Gift, Force II!
**[11:46] Nanami**
Sephirot's skill activates!
**[11:48] Nanami**
I superior call two Plant Tokens!
**[11:53] Mark**
Yet again?!
**[11:54] Nanami**
You think that's all?
**[11:57] Nanami**
I call two Lily of the Valley
Musketeer, Kaivant units!
**[12:03] Nanami**
Their skills activate!
**[12:06] Nanami**
Come along, Plant!
**[12:15] Tatsuya**
4 damage!
**[12:18] Mark**
Guarding Jutsu!
**[12:29] Tatsuya**
5 damage!
**[12:38] Mark**
Oh! Shinemon!
**[13:00] Shin**
Mikuru's been rescued already?
**[13:03] Shin**
You didn't need me?!
**[13:11] Mikuru**
He's awfully close!
Maybe because of the makeup?
**[13:15] Shin**
I'm so glad you're safe!
**[13:17] Shin**
Mm hmm!
**[13:19] Mikuru**
He hasn't noticed my makeup job?
**[13:29] Esuka**
Welcome, Shinemon Nitta.
**[13:33] Shin**
How dare you, Esuka?!
**[13:35] Shin**
Just because I'm holding
your secret is no reason...
**[13:38] Mikuru**
My secret?
**[13:39] Shin**
Right!
**[13:43] Shin**
Oh no!
**[13:44] Shin**
Stop imagining that, Shin!
**[13:47] Esuka**
What are you talking about?
Your face is flushed.
**[13:51] Shin**
N-No! Stay away from me!
**[13:55] Esuka**
Do you have a fever?
**[13:57] Shin**
I... I figured you'd try something,
you villainous president!
**[14:01] Shin**
But to think you would resort to crime!
**[14:05] Esuka**
Crime?
**[14:06] Shin**
Don't play dumb! You abducted Mikuru!
**[14:10] Esuka**
Abducted?
**[14:13] Esuka/Mikuru**
You Conclusion-Jumping Cinnamon!
**[14:18] Tatsuya**
Actually...
**[14:20] Shin**
Say what?!
**[14:23] Shin**
You guys jumped to the same wrong conclusion?
**[14:26] Mark**
Verily, I feel ashamed.
**[14:28] Tatsuya**
Sorry.
**[14:31] Shin**
M-My bad...
**[14:33] Esuka**
What was that?
**[14:35] Esuka**
I couldn't hear you.
**[14:37] Shin**
I said...
**[14:41] Esuka**
N-Never mind!
**[14:53] Nanami**
Yikes!
**[14:54] Nanami**
I can't let Ms. Esuka find out that I love cats!
**[15:03] Tonori**
Yo, why don't you guys get back to the fight?
**[15:05] Nanami**
Tonori! Good job there!
**[15:09] Shin**
Oh, you were having a fight?
**[15:13] Shin**
5 to 2, huh? That's a tight spot.
**[15:16] Mark**
Do not worry!
**[15:19] Mark**
Just as Toyotomi Hideyori was welcomed
by Sanada Yukimura during that Osaka winter,
**[15:24] Mark**
I feel as though I possess a million allies!
**[15:29] Nanami**
Then hurry up already! It's your turn!
**[15:33] Mark**
Verily, so it is!
**[15:35] Mark**
Ninja Art, Riding Jutsu!
**[15:40] Mark**
Evil Stealth Dragon Akatsuki, Hanzo!
**[15:43] Mark**
Imaginary Gift, Protect I!
**[15:46] Mark**
Hanzo's skill activates!
**[15:47] Mark**
Ninja Art, Spiriting-Away Jutsu!
**[16:00] Tatsuya**
He made her return four units to her hand!
**[16:03] Mikuru**
That's only two cards!
**[16:05] Tatsuya**
Tokens can only exist on the field.
**[16:08] Tatsuya**
So if they get sent back
to the hand, they disappear.
**[16:11] Mikuru**
O-Oh, I see.
**[16:13] Mark**
Verily, you must now discard
four cards from your honorable hand.
**[16:21] Tonori**
Man, she's got hardly nothin' left.
**[16:24] Tonori**
Even worse than with me, yo.
**[16:26] Mark**
That was not all!
**[16:28] Mark**
Calling Jutsu!
**[16:30] Mark**
Rally to me, Kurogiri! Voidmaster! Sakurafubuki!
**[16:36] Mark**
Here I go!
**[16:37] Mark**
Twin drive!
**[16:39] Mark**
First check!
**[16:41] Tatsuya**
A critical trigger!
**[16:43] Mark**
Second check!
**[16:44] Shin**
Look at that! A double critical!
**[16:53] Nanami**
Damage check!
**[16:55] Nanami**
Third check!
**[16:57] Tonori**
Draw trigger, yo!
**[16:59] Nanami**
I give the power to Sephirot.
**[17:06] Tatsuya**
5 damage! Now they're tied!
**[17:08] Mark**
Kurogiri boosts!
Voidmaster attacks your Vanguard!
**[17:16] Nanami**
Watering Elf!
**[17:22] Mark**
Chigasumi!
**[17:24] Chigasumi**
Aya aye, sir!
**[17:25] Mark**
By discarding one unit from my hand,
that activates Chigasumi's skill!
**[17:29] Tatsuya**
Now Chigasumi has 34,000 power!
**[17:32] Shin**
Do it!
**[17:40] Tonori**
She managed to hang on at 5 damage, yo.
**[17:43] Shin**
So close.
**[17:44] Shin**
Clinch it on your next turn!
**[17:47] Nanami**
His next turn?
**[17:49] Nanami**
He won't be getting one.
**[17:52] Nanami**
It'll all be over with my turn.
**[17:54] Shin**
Aren't you confident.
**[17:56] Nanami**
Oh yeah?
**[17:57] Mikuru**
Was that supposed to be a bluff?
**[18:00] Tatsuya**
Yes.
**[18:02] Tatsuya**
Nanami has two cards
in her hand. Mark has four.
**[18:06] Tatsuya**
Nanami's only unit on the field is her Vanguard,
whereas Mark has a unit on every circle.
**[18:13] Nanami**
You'll be ready to give up shortly.
**[18:19] Nanami**
Stand and draw!
**[18:22] Nanami**
I call Timber!
**[18:24] Nanami**
Next, I call Dandelion Musketeer, Mirkka!
**[18:27] Nanami**
Its skill activates!
**[18:28] Nanami**
Soul Blast!
**[18:30] Nanami**
I superior call Plant Token!
**[18:34] Nanami**
Sephirot's skill activates!
**[18:36] Nanami**
I superior call two Plant Tokens!
**[18:39] Nanami**
And then I call Kaivant!
**[18:44] Tonori**
Now she's got all her circles occupied.
**[18:47] Tonori**
That's our Nanami, yo.
**[18:49] Nanami**
Well? Would you like to give up?
**[18:53] Mark**
Verily, that seems a bit premature.
**[18:56] Nanami**
Oh yeah?
**[19:00] Nanami**
Here I come!
**[19:04] Mark**
Protect activates!
**[19:06] Nanami**
Fine, but if I draw a critical, it's all over.
**[19:10] Shin**
You think that'll be an easy draw?!
**[19:13] Nanami**
Twin drive!
**[19:14] Nanami**
First check!
**[19:18] Nanami**
Second check!
**[19:22] Tonori**
A critical, yo!
**[19:23] Nanami**
I give all of the effects to Kaivant!
**[19:26] Nanami**
Kaivant attacks with a boost from Token!
**[19:34] Mark**
I guard with Kurogane and Tobihiko!
**[19:37] Mark**
I also intercept with Chigasumi and Token!
**[19:41] Nanami**
Just give up already.
You're only wasting our time.
**[19:45] Shin**
Why, you...!
**[19:46] Mark**
Stop, Shinemon!
**[19:48] Mark**
We are still in the midst of this fight!
**[19:51] Mark**
Verily, you four have fought well.
**[19:53] Chigasumi**
May fortune smile on you, my Vanguard!
**[19:56] Nanami**
In the midst, you say?
**[19:58] Nanami**
It's over. You don't have
any cards in your hand.
**[20:03] Nanami**
Fine, I'll finish you off.
Even if it's a waste of time.
**[20:07] Nanami**
Here. I attack your Vanguard.
**[20:10] Mark**
No guard!
**[20:17] Shin**
If you draw a heal trigger...
**[20:19] Nanami**
And who was it that said,
"You think that'll be an easy draw?!"
**[20:31] Nanami**
There, you see?
**[20:38] Mark**
Verily, I have lost.
**[20:41] Nanami**
Too bad, Ninja Man!
**[20:52] Nanami**
...What?
**[20:53] Shin**
Don't mock someone else's fighting.
**[20:56] Shin**
Mark's guarding wasn't a waste of time.
**[20:59] Nanami**
I hate people who dunno when to give up.
**[21:03] Shin**
So you hate me too, huh?
**[21:07] Shin**
I'm also bad at giving up.
**[21:09] Nanami**
You wanna fight me?
**[21:11] Nanami**
Okay, but you'll lose, too.
**[21:13] Shin**
Sorry, but I don't see
any image of myself losing.
**[21:18] Nanami**
Then if you do lose, you'll surrender
that Capital or whatever to Esuka?
**[21:23] Shin**
You're on.
**[21:25] Mikuru**
Not again!
**[21:27] Shin**
And if I win...
**[21:29] Nanami**
Yeah?
**[21:30] Shin**
...you're gonna apologize to Mark!
**[21:34] Mark**
Shinemon...
**[21:39] Esuka**
Anyone else would've said,
"You guys will give up on Capital."
**[21:47] Shin**
Capital is the place where we hang out!
**[21:50] Shin**
It's the place we play!
**[21:52] Shin**
And it's the place I will protect!
**[21:55] Shin**
I am Shinemon Nitta!
**[21:56] Shin**
Bring it on!
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card
is Mark's ace in the hole,
**[23:51] Narrator**
Evil Stealth Dragon Akatsuki, Hanzo!
***SIGN*** Evil Stealth Dragon Akatsuki, Hanzo
**[23:53] Narrator**
If you discard two grade 0 units,
this unit gets +20,000 power!
**[23:57] Narrator**
Also, you choose any number of rear-guards
to send back to you and your opponent's hands!
**[24:01] Narrator**
And if your opponent is grade 3,
**[24:03] Narrator**
they have to discard from their hand
as many cards as got sent back to their hand!
**[24:07] Narrator**
Verily, this boss of Evil Stealth Dragons
dominates both the field and the hand!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Mikuru**
Sub Manager did?!
**[24:17] Shin**
Yeah, made the rounds getting fed stuff
by people in town. Ramen, for example.
**[24:20] Mikuru**
Wait a minute! You can't give cats ramen!
**[24:23] Shin**
Why not?
**[24:23] Mikuru**
Green onions are poisonous to cats.
**[24:25] Mikuru**
There's a component of green onions
called allyl propyl disulfide,
**[24:28] Mikuru**
which destroys a cat's red blood cells,
resulting in anemia, bloody urine, and vomiting!
**[24:33] Shin**
Oh no!
**[24:34] Nanami**
It's fine. The order was
for ramen, hold the green onions.
**[24:36] Shin**
Who told you that?!
**[24:37] Nanami**
The kitty did.
**[24:38] Mikuru**
Nanami, was it? You mean you can
understand what Sub Manager is saying?!

Yeah?
**[00:33] Shin**
...you're gonna apologize to Mark!
**[00:40] Nanami**
I don't like you.
**[00:43] Nanami**
You took my S Card against my will...
**[00:47] Shin**
Against your will?
**[00:48] Shin**
So, what's it going to be?
**[00:51] Shin**
The paw pads are right here...
**[00:54] Nanami**
Forgive me, Ms. Esuka!
**[00:58] Shin**
That was a subtle psychological ploy
taking advantage of your love of cats.
**[01:02] Nanami**
How was that subtle?!
**[01:03] Esuka**
Love of cats?
**[01:06] Nanami**
N-No, Ms. Esuka!
**[01:08] Nanami**
Come on, let's get started!
**[01:10] Shin**
O-Okay.
**[01:11] Shin/Nanami**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[01:15] Shin**
The strength of imagination!
**[01:18] Shin**
That's the strength of Vanguard!
**[01:23] Shin**
Don't get dominated by
your opponent's imagination!
**[01:26] Shin**
Rewrite that imagination!
***SIGN*** Remind 6 Last Ditch No Guard!!
**[03:05] Nanami**
I don't like you.
**[03:11] Shin**
Th-The heck?!
**[03:13] Shin**
What else did I do?!
**[03:16] Nanami**
I hate your attitude towards Ms. Esuka.
**[03:21] Shin**
Hey, why are you so...
**[03:24] Shin**
...uh, zealous about her?
**[03:25] Nanami**
What of it?
**[03:26] Shin**
Not that there's anything wrong with it,
but you seem almost *too* deferential.
**[03:31] Nanami**
I can act how I want.
**[03:33] Shin**
Well, of course, but...
**[03:36] Shin**
I ride Prometheus of Dancing Lights!
**[03:44] Shin**
Come, Parthenos of Holy Verse!
Diana of Moonlight!
**[03:52] Shin**
Here I go!
**[03:56] Nanami**
No guard!
**[03:59] Nanami**
1 damage!
**[04:03] Nanami**
Chestnut Bullet!
**[04:10] Shin**
Look, at least tell me
what your connection to Esuka is.
**[04:16] Shin**
What, you won't even tell me that?
**[04:19] Nanami**
Fine. Given the situation, I'll tell you.
**[04:23] Nanami**
If it weren't for Ms. Esuka,
I wouldn't be here right now.
**[04:27] Shin**
What? You mean...
**[04:31] Shin**
...you're Esuka's daughter?!
**[04:35] Esuka/Mikuru**
You Simple-Minded Cinnamon!
**[04:37] Nanami**
If I were Ms. Esuka's child,
how old would that make her?!
**[04:42] Tatsuya**
Fascinating...
**[04:45] Shin**
Sorry. Go on...
**[04:47] Nanami**

really good at everything.

**[04:58] Nanami**
I was used to getting praised
by my parents and teachers.
**[05:02] Nanami**
Every day was boring.
**[05:05] Nanami**
I was on the lookout for something
more interesting, more fun...
**[05:11] Nanami**
...but one day, when I had just about
given up on ever finding it...
**[05:16] Interviewer**
Our guest today is Esuka Hibino.
**[05:20] Interviewer**
You were a successful swimsuit model.
**[05:23] Interviewer**
What was it that made you want
to start a chain of card shops?
**[05:29] Esuka**
Even as a child, I spent my life searching
for something more interesting and fun.
**[05:37] Esuka**
I eventually came to realize
that it wouldn't be easy to find.
**[05:42] Esuka**
But Vanguard has something
that goes far beyond what I was seeking.
**[05:48] Esuka**
I think that's why.
**[05:51] Nanami**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[05:54] Opponent A**
Damage check!
**[05:58] Opponent A**
Darn it!
**[06:02] Gallery A**
She won again!
**[06:05] Gallery B**
She's heading up to the S Class floor next!
**[06:08] Gallery C**
Who is that girl?!
**[06:13] Esuka**
Congratulations.
**[06:15] Esuka**
Now you're an S Rank member.
**[06:20] Esuka**
What a waste.
**[06:22] Esuka**
You're cute, but that surly attitude
takes away from it.
**[06:28] Nanami**
I can act how I want.
**[06:30] Esuka**
Sorry. I'm the kind of person
who speaks her mind.
**[06:35] Esuka**
How long have you been playing Vanguard?
**[06:38] Nanami**
Just started today.
**[06:40] Esuka**
So that's why you borrowed
a beginner's deck to play.
**[06:45] Esuka**
Well, would you be willing to play against me?
**[06:49] Nanami**
Fine.
**[06:52] Nanami**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[06:54] Esuka**
I perfect guard with Cable Sheep!
**[06:58] Esuka**
It's my turn.
**[07:00] Esuka**
I'm going to finish you off with
Holy Great Sage of Black Shadows, Isabelle!
**[07:05] Nanami**
No guard!
**[07:07] Nanami**
Damage check!
**[07:22] Gallery**
I knew she'd win!
**[07:23] Esuka**
Was this really your first day?
**[07:26] Esuka**
You played extremely well.
**[07:38] Shin**
Wait a second!
**[07:40] Shin**
You play Vanguard?!
**[07:43] Tatsuya**
I'll explain!
**[07:45] Tatsuya**
She's so focused on her work
as the company president
**[07:47] Tatsuya**
that she lacks the time
to participate in tournaments,
**[07:51] Tatsuya**
but Esuka Hibino is one of
the top fighters in the country.
**[07:54] Shin**
Y-You're that amazing?!
**[07:57] Esuka**
You didn't know?
**[07:59] Shin**
Well, I didn't exactly care...
**[08:02] Tonori**
Unbelievable, yo!
**[08:04] Nanami**
Now I swear I'll beat you!

**[09:04] Tonori**
As always, her attacks are efficient, yo.
**[09:06] Shin**
H-Hold on!
**[09:08] Shin**
You weren't done with your story!
**[09:11] Nanami**
I don't wanna talk to someone
who's that ignorant about Ms. Esuka.
**[09:14] Shin**
Come on, you've got me curious!
**[09:17] Esuka**
It is a curious story.
**[09:21] Esuka**
Nanami.
**[09:23] Esuka**
Would you mind if I continued the story?
**[09:27] Nanami**
If you'd like, Ms. Esuka...
**[09:30] Esuka**
One day, not long after I defeated her...
**[09:35] Nanami**
I'll finish you off with Arboros Dragon, Timber!
**[09:41] Gallery D**
That's ten wins in a row!
**[09:44] Esuka**
You've got your own deck now, huh?
**[09:49] Esuka**
Would you play against me?
**[09:53] Esuka**
How about it?
**[09:55] Nanami**
No thanks.
**[09:59] Esuka**
Ever since that first day,
Nanami has refused to play me.
**[10:06] Shin**
Why?
**[10:08] Nanami**
I told you before.
**[10:09] Nanami**
I hate people who don't know when to give up.
**[10:13] Nanami**
And right now, I'm not able to beat Ms. Esuka.
**[10:17] Nanami**
I can tell without even playing her.
**[10:20] Shin**
That's why you won't fight her?
**[10:24] Shin**
I also have someone I just can't beat,
no matter how many times I play him.
**[10:33] Rive**
I'll finish you off!
**[10:40] Shin**
How did you draw a heal there?!
**[10:42] Shin**
You're too lucky, Master!
**[10:47] Rive**
Luck's an ability in itself, Lemon!
**[10:49] Shin**
One more time!
**[10:51] Rive**
Sure!
**[10:53] Rive**
Shoot, I can't! I've gotta get to work!
**[10:55] Rive**
You work on your skills, Shinemon!
**[10:58] Shin**
I'll be waiting for you tomorrow, Master Rive!
**[11:00] Rive**
I'll beat you then, too!
**[11:02] Shin**
Tomorrow is the day I win!
**[11:09] Shin**
That's right! One day, I swear I'll defeat him!
**[11:15] Shin**
I'll win!
**[11:20] Shin**
The entirety of destiny is inscribed
within the blinding darkness!
**[11:26] Shin**
And I am the one who recites it!
**[11:32] Shin**
Gleaming Lord, Uranus!
**[11:48] Shin**
Imaginary Gift, Force I!
**[11:57] Shin**
Uranus's skill activates!
**[12:00] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[12:07] Shin**
Come, Parthenos!
**[12:11] Shin**
Diana, follow me!
**[12:13] Diana**
Roger!
**[12:16] Shin**
Parthenos's skill activates!
**[12:18] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[12:25] Shin**
This clinches it!
**[12:27] Nanami**
Oh yeah?
**[12:29] Shin**
Then I'll be your opponent!
**[12:37] Shin**
I have read your fate!
**[12:40] Shin**
No trigger!
**[12:43] Nanami**
A critical trigger!
**[12:47] Tatsuya**
It's a 53,000 power attack!
**[12:52] Nanami**
Swearing that you'll win someday?
**[12:55] Nanami**
Stuff like that...
**[12:57] Nanami**
...is just a waste of time!
**[12:59] Nanami**
I ride Arboros Dragon, Sephirot!
**[13:04] Nanami**
Imaginary Gift, Force II!
**[13:12] Nanami**
Fruits Basket Elf's skill activates!
**[13:16] Nanami**
I superior call two Plant Token units!
**[13:23] Nanami**
And then...
**[13:24] Nanami**
...I call Timber! Its skill activates!
**[13:27] Nanami**
I superior call Plant Token!
**[13:31] Nanami**
Sephirot's skill activates!
**[13:34] Nanami**
I superior call two Plant Token units!
**[13:45] Tatsuya**
The field is crammed with Tokens!
**[13:48] Mark**
Moreover, they represent
an enormous amount of power!
**[13:50] Tonori**
Looks like it'll end this turn, yo.
**[13:55] Shin**
Battle Maiden, Kukurihime!
**[14:00] Nanami**
Then my Vanguard will attack!
**[14:06] Tatsuya**
That attack has 33,000 power and two criticals!
**[14:11] Nanami**
Ready to give up yet?
**[14:14] Nanami**
I'm gonna draw two criticals...
**[14:22] Shin**
No guard!
**[14:25] Tonori**
Guess the guy's given up, yo.
**[14:30] Mikuru**
Shinemon is going to lose?!
**[14:33] Tatsuya**
If Nanami's prediction is correct,
and she draws two critical triggers...
**[14:38] Mark**
Verily, Shinemon will lose.
**[14:42] Mikuru**
Oh no...
**[14:44] Nanami**
Twin drive!
**[14:48] Tonori**
A critical trigger, yo!
**[14:50] Tatsuya**
If the next one is another critical...
**[14:52] Mark**
...Shinemon will...
**[14:54] Nanami**
Second check!
**[14:58] Mikuru**
Please, God!
**[15:12] Mikuru**
Thank God!
**[15:15] Nanami**
I'm not done attacking!
**[15:19] Nanami**
I'm counting on you!
**[15:22] Tatsuya**
Now it's a 35,000 power attack!
**[15:26] Mark**
Uranus's power is 13,000!
**[15:29] Mikuru**
Then this time, Shinemon will...
**[15:44] Shin**
Thank you!
**[15:46] Parthenos**
May fortune smile on you, my Vanguard!
**[15:50] Nanami**
What?!
**[15:52] Shin**
It's my turn!
**[15:53] Nanami**
After giving up once before...
**[15:55] Nanami**
Must be nice to be lucky.
**[15:58] Shin**
I never gave up!
**[16:01] Shin**
Know what luck is?
**[16:03] Shin**
It's a gift that only people who don't
give up to the very end can get!
**[16:10] Shin**
I ride Uranus once more!
**[16:14] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[16:21] Shin**
Uranus's skill activates!
**[16:23] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[16:38] Tatsuya**
Now he's got five Imaginary Gifts!
**[16:41] Shin**
Circle Shift!
**[16:42] Shin**
Astral Plane!
**[16:46] Shin**
O great planetary guardian deity!
**[16:48] Shin**
Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
**[16:59] Shin**
Valkerion's skill activates!
**[17:08] Mark**
Verily, it is grade 3!
**[17:10] Tatsuya**
Valkerion gets triple drive!
**[17:14] Tonori**
What the hey?!
**[17:18] Tonori**
Grade 5, 70,000 power, *and* triple drive?!
**[17:22] Tonori**
No way she can defend
against an attack like that!
**[17:25] Nanami**
That's not all.
**[17:27] Nanami**
Uranus hasn't attacked yet, either!
**[17:30] Nanami**
And right now, Uranus has 63,000 power!
**[17:34] Tonori**
For reals?!
**[17:37] Shin**
Uranus attacks your Vanguard!
**[17:44] Nanami**
I guard with two Watering Elf units and Kaivant!
**[17:50] Nanami**
I intercept with two Plant units!
**[17:53] Shin**
Twin drive!
**[17:54] Shin**
First check!
**[17:57] Tatsuya**
No trigger!
**[17:58] Shin**
Second check!
**[18:02] Tonori**
A draw trigger!
**[18:06] Tatsuya**
She guarded against that attack!
**[18:08] Mark**
Though she be the enemy, I sing her crazes.
**[18:12] Tatsuya**
S-Sing her crazes?
**[18:14] Mark**
Yay-yay-wowie-wowie-sis-boom-bah!
**[18:16] Mark**
Lovey-dovey-ooh-hah-zoo-bee-zoo-papa!
**[18:17] Mark**
Warden threw a party in the county jail!
**[18:20] Mark**
Oh! Uh...
**[18:23] Mark**
I'm sorry. So sorry!
**[18:25] Mark**
I meant, "Though she be
the enemy, I sing her praises."
**[18:28] Mark**
In like fashion, Tokugawa Ieyasu
praised Sanada Yukimura's rampage
**[18:31] Mark**
during the Summer War of Osaka, after--
**[18:34] Mikuru/Tatsuya**
Shhh!
**[18:43] Shin**
Valkerion attacks!
**[18:46] Nanami**
No guard!
**[18:51] Shin**
Valkerion, Zodiac Blazer!
**[18:57] Shin**
Triple drive!
**[18:59] Shin**
First check!
**[19:00] Nanami**
A critical trigger!
**[19:02] Shin**
Second check!
**[19:03] Shin**
Third check!
**[19:05] Nanami**
A double critical?!
**[19:16] Tonori**
6 damage, yo...
**[19:25] Shin**
To be honest, I didn't expect you
to stop even Uranus's attack!
**[19:31] Nanami**
But it was just a waste of time...
**[19:34] Shin**
Not at all!
**[19:36] Shin**
You mean to beat Esuka someday, right?
**[19:39] Nanami**
Wha...?!
**[19:41] Shin**
I doubt you'd hang out here otherwise.
**[19:46] Nanami**
It's only because I respect Ms. Esuka!
**[19:49] Shin**
And I respect Master Rive!
**[19:52] Shin**
That's why I wanna beat him someday!
**[19:58] Shin**
You don't know when to give up, either!
**[20:07] Shin**
Huh? What?!
**[20:09] Shin**
Did I do something wrong?!
**[20:17] Nanami**
Sorry.
**[20:20] Mark**
Verily, it is but water under the bridge.
**[20:30] Nanami**
It's kitty!
**[20:33] Nanami**
I'm in heaven!
**[20:36] Esuka**
N-Nanami...
**[20:40] Nanami**
I-It's not that I like cats and such!
**[20:43] Nanami**
Here, I'll show you how much I don't care!
**[20:49] Nanami**
Sorry, kitty!
**[20:51] Nanami**
Oh nooo!
**[20:53] Esuka**
I know you love cats, Nanami.
**[20:57] Esuka**
I hate them, but don't mind me. Do as you like.
**[21:04] Nanami**
In that case...
**[21:06] Nanami**
I'm in heaven!
**[21:11] Esuka**
The thing about luck...
**[21:13] Esuka**
"It's a gift that only people who don't
give up to the very end can get."
**[21:17] Esuka**
The manager always used to say that.
**[21:21] Manager**
"Luck's an ability in itself," huh?
**[21:24] Manager**
It's just like Rive said.
**[21:27] Rive**
Manager...
**[21:28] Manager**
The thing about luck...
**[21:29] Manager**
It's a gift that only people who don't
give up to the very end can get.
**[21:35] Shin**
You know about the manager?!
**[21:39] Mikuru**
Shinemon...
**[21:41] Mikuru**
In her office, there's a photo of her
with the manager and his family.
**[21:48] Shin**
What?!
**[21:50] Esuka**
I aspire to be like him.
**[21:55] Shin**
Wh-Why?!
**[21:57] Shin**
*I* aspire to be like him!
**[21:59] Shin**
A manager, just like him!
**[22:03] Esuka**
You're not qualified
to call yourself a manager yet.
**[22:09] Esuka**
You've never even reopened the shop.
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card
is Nanami's ace in the hole,
**[23:51] Narrator**
Arboros Dragon, Sephirot!
***SIGN*** Arboros Dragon, Sephirot
**[23:54] Narrator**
With this unit as your Vanguard,
your Plant Tokens become all-mighty!
**[23:57] Narrator**
Their power doubles to 10,000,
their shield is 10,000, and they can intercept!
**[24:03] Narrator**
On top of that, using this unit's own skill,
you can call two Plant Token units!
**[24:07] Narrator**
And if there are five rear-guards,
Sephirot also gets a power-up!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Nanami**
I'm very sorry, Ms. Esuka!
**[24:18] Nanami**
I apologize from the bottom of my heart
for losing to Shinemon Nitta!
**[24:21] Esuka**
Then I'll have to punish you, Nanami.
**[24:23] Nanami**
What kind of punishment? Sounds exciting...
**[24:25] Esuka**
Hmm, perhaps the tickling punishment?
**[24:28] Nanami**
Tickling?!
**[24:28] Esuka**
Or would you prefer a spanking?
**[24:30] Nanami**
Spanking?!
**[24:31] Esuka**
I've got a better one!
**[24:33] Nanami**
Wh-What could be even more punishing...!?
**[24:35] Esuka**
How about no contact
with cats for a whole week?
**[24:38] Nanami**
N-No contact?!
**[24:39] Esuka**
Which means you can't even
be in the same room with a cat.

**[01:00] Esuka**
You've never even reopened the shop.
**[01:05] Chairman**
Excuse me...
**[01:08] Shin**
It's the shopping district chairman!
**[01:10] Chairman**
Do you have a few minutes?
***SIGN*** Halloween Festival
**[01:15] Shin**
Halloween Festival?
**[01:18] Chairman**
It's an annual celebration.
**[01:20] Chairman**
We put up decorations all around the
shopping district and hold special events.
**[01:26] Chairman**
Card Capital has always gotten
into the spirit of the occasion.
**[01:31] Shin**
Now that you mention it...
**[01:34] Shin**
Our customers dressed up
in costumes for that every year.
**[01:39] Chairman**
But this year, after what happened...
**[01:43] Chairman**
I suppose it's too much to ask.
**[01:45] Chairman**
After all, the shop is still closed.
**[01:54] Chairman**
Sorry to bother you.
**[01:55] Shin**
Please, wait!
**[01:58] Shin**
Card Capital will participate
in the Halloween festival, too!
**[02:02] Chairman**
But who is the manager?
**[02:05] Shin**
I'm the manager!
**[02:07] Shin**
I swear that I'll open the shop!
**[02:10] Shin**
The strength of imagination!
**[02:13] Shin**
That's the strength of Vanguard!
**[02:18] Shin**
Don't get dominated by
your opponent's imagination!
**[02:21] Shin**
Rewrite that imagination!

**[04:03] Mikuru**
What makes you think you can
open the shop in *this* condition?!
**[04:09] Mark**
Well, up to now, it took everything he had
just to defend it against Esuka Hibino.
**[04:18] Shin**
I'll bring it back to how it used to be!
**[04:21] Shin**
Let's put up Halloween decorations
and wear costumes, too!
**[04:24] Shin**
It's vital that I open the store again!
**[04:28] Shin**
To protect Capital and
keep it out of Esuka's clutches...
**[04:33] Shin**
...I need to prove that I can be the manager!
**[04:37] Tatsuya**
Shinemon...
**[04:40] Mikuru**
All right, fine. I'll help with that.
**[04:43] Rive**
A grand reopening, huh?
**[04:46] Rive**
Beyond just costumes,
I'd like to have some kind of big event.
**[04:50] Mark**
Nothing says "big event"...
***SIGN*** Tuna Slicing Show
**[04:52] Mark**
...like a tuna slicing show!
**[04:54] Mark**
All the tuna you can eat...
**[04:57] Shin**
And who's going to provide the tuna?
**[05:00] Rive**
No, you idiot!
A big event calls for pro wrestling!
**[05:05] Mikuru**
I won't give up!
**[05:07] Mikuru**
I can't give up!
**[05:10] Mikuru**
Like I'd ever do that!
**[05:14] Tatsuya**
Um, maybe you should just have
a normal Vanguard tournament.
**[05:20] Rive**
Of course! Why didn't I think of that?!
**[05:22] Mark**
It was in my blind spot!
**[05:23] Shin**
Now that you mention it, they held
a Vanguard tournament last year, too!
**[05:27] Mikuru**
Why didn't you remember that sooner?!
**[05:30] Tatsuya**
Is reopening the shop right now
really such a good idea?
**[05:34] Shin**
All right!
**[05:36] Shin**
Card Capital is going to host the
annual Halloween Vanguard Tournament!
**[05:40] Shin**
Everyone on board with that?!
**[05:42] All**
Yeah!
**[05:56] Mark**
Now *this* is Card Capital!
**[05:59] Rive**
All right, Shinemon. How 'bout we do a fight?
**[06:02] Shin**
Yes, Master!
**[06:03] Mark**
Oh! I was hoping you'd suggest that!
**[06:07] Mikuru**
Not until after preparations!
***SIGN*** Card Capital's Halloween Cardfight Tournament!
Costumes Required!
**[06:20] Esuka**
A Halloween festival?
**[06:22] Butler**
Card Capital will apparently
be reopening in conjunction with it.
**[06:28] Esuka**
Does that child seriously think
he can pull off being the manager?
**[06:38] Tatsuya**
What's wrong?
**[06:39] Shin**
It feels like something's lacking here...
**[06:42] Mikuru**
Well, *you're* certainly lacking, Shinemon!
**[06:45] Mikuru**
In looks, grades, and so much more...
**[06:47] Shin**
Hey!
**[06:49] Mark**
You mean the decorations, right?
**[06:52] Shin**
Yeah...
**[06:53] Shin**
Our regular customers would come either way,
**[06:57] Shin**
but since we're going to the trouble, I'd like
to make it fun for first-time customers, too.
**[07:01] Shin**
For that...
**[07:03] Tatsuya**
We need something that
would make customers happy...
**[07:08] Mikuru**
Something simple and eye-catching...
**[07:11] Shin**
Something they'd want to snap
a photo of and put on social media...
**[07:18] Mikuru**
That's it!
**[07:21] Mikuru**
Making Sub Manager a mascot character
with stuffed animal versions is sure to work!
**[07:26] Tatsuya**
I like it!
**[07:27] Mark**
Good idea!
**[07:29] Shin**
Stuffed animals aren't a bad idea...
**[07:32] Shin**
But this is a card shop.
**[07:34] Shin**
Instead of a stuffed animal,
we'll use a Vanguard unit!
**[07:38] Tatsuya**
I see!
**[07:39] Tatsuya**
Which will we use?
**[07:41] Tatsuya**
Glyme? Flogal?
**[07:44] Shin**
Isn't it obvious? It'll be...
**[07:49] Shin**
Valkerion!
**[07:59] Tatsuya**
Is this okay?
**[08:02] Shin**
It's more like Li'l Valkerion than Valkerion.
**[08:06] Mikuru**
You're a good artist, Tatsuya!
**[08:08] Tatsuya**
N-Nah, not really...
**[08:10] Shin**
Even customers who don't know
about Vanguard will get a kick out of this!
**[08:18] Tatsuya**
By the way, who's going to make them?
**[08:22] Shin**
Well...
**[08:23] Mikuru**
Don't look at me! I don't do crafts!
**[08:27] Mark**
Have no fear!
**[08:29] Mark**
I know someone who's great
at making things like that.
**[08:32] Mark**
Shall I ask?
**[08:34] Shin**
Really?!
**[08:35] Mark**
You can count on me!
**[08:38] Mark**
Cheese!
**[08:43] Mikuru**
It's pitch dark out!
**[08:45] Shin**
Mark, walk these two home.
**[08:48] Mark**
Leave it to me!
**[08:49] Tatsuya**
See you tomorrow, Shinemon.
**[08:52] Shin**
Yep. See you then.
**[08:57] Shin**
Capital's comeback is just days away!
**[09:06] Shin**
Welcome to Card Capital!
**[09:09] Rive**
What kinda place is this?
**[09:11] Shin**
It's a card shop.
**[09:13] Shin**
You can enjoy playing any card games here.
**[09:16] Rive**
Card games...?
**[09:18] Rive**
Huh. Sounds like fun.
**[09:20] Rive**
Then this oughta make your teeth rattle!
**[09:24] Shin**
Mark! Call the police!
**[09:26] Mark**
Yes, sir!
**[09:27] Mikuru**
Wait a minute!
**[09:29] Mikuru**
Don't be so hasty!
**[09:31] Tatsuya**
Take a good look at him first.
**[09:37] Shin**
It's a deck case...
**[09:39] Shin**
Th-Then...
**[09:41] Mikuru**
I think he's a Cardfighter
who just likes to talk tough.
**[09:45] Mikuru**
He only came here to play.
**[09:47] Mikuru**
There's no need to call the police.
**[09:49] Rive**
That's right.
**[09:51] Mikuru**
But do we really have to take
customer service training this far?
**[09:56] Shin**
It's safest if we try imagining
every possible situation...
**[10:00] Shin**
...or so I hope.
**[10:02] Rive**
By the way, what's the format
gonna be for the Vanguard event?
**[10:06] Rive**
Last year's was a regular tournament.
**[10:09] Shin**
We're doing a "free fight" this year.
**[10:12] Mikuru**
A "free fight"?
**[10:14] Mark**
Customers can fight whomever they like,
**[10:18] Mark**
and the fighter with the most wins within
a designated time limit will be the winner.
**[10:24] Shin**
A casual event allows everyone to participate
without requiring tournament brackets.
**[10:30] Shin**
Besides, we don't have the time
to prepare for a real tournament.
**[10:34] Rive**
A "free fight" is fine, but who's
gonna keep track of the wins?
**[10:40] Tatsuya**
Sh-Shindou and I can make
a list of all the participants.
**[10:45] Rive**
You're gonna match all the names to faces?
**[10:49] Rive**
They might not fight
in the same spot each time, either.
**[10:52] Tatsuya**
Well, um...
**[10:57] Mikuru**
"Trick or Treat"!
**[11:00] Mikuru**
We could just give sweets to the winners!
**[11:03] Mikuru**
How about homemade cookies?
**[11:06] Shin**
I see! That's a great idea!
**[11:08] Mark**
A perfect fit for Halloween!
**[11:10] Shin**
Then...
**[11:11] Shin**
Mikuru--you, uh, probably couldn't...
**[11:16] Shin**
Tatsuya!
**[11:17] Shin**
Would you bake cookies for us?!
**[11:19] Tatsuya**
I-I'll do my best!
**[11:20] Mikuru**
*I'll* bake them!
**[11:23] Rive**
So long as they're edible!
**[11:25] Mikuru**
I'm not letting you have any, Bro!
**[11:31] Mark**
We should receive the Li'l Valkerions
sometime tomorrow afternoon.
**[11:35] Shin**
Just in the nick of time!
**[11:37] Tatsuya**
And we have the fliers ready,
which means it's almost showtime!
***SIGN*** Card Capital's Halloween Cardfight Tournament! Costumes Required!
**[11:41] Shin**
Let's have everything all ready for
our reopening the day after tomorrow!
**[11:46] All**
Yeah!
**[11:58] Shin**
Please, take a flyer!
**[12:00] Tatsuya**
Please join us!
**[12:03] Shin**
Here you go!
**[12:05] Nanami**
Sh-Shinemon Nitta!
**[12:08] Shin**
Oh, Nanami!
**[12:11] Tonori**
What's this?
**[12:13] Shin**
We're opening Card Capital
for Halloween tomorrow.
**[12:17] Shin**
You will come, won't you?
**[12:21] Nanami**
I-If I feel like it...
**[12:26] Nanami**
L-Let's go, Tonori!
**[12:28] Tonori**
A'ight.
**[12:30] Tonori**
It says you gotta wear a costume, yo.
**[12:34] Tonori**
What kind of costume you gonna wear?
**[12:36] Nanami**
Don't worry about it.
**[12:38] Nanami**
Just make sure you wear one.
**[12:41] Tonori**
Sure, a'ight.
**[12:47] Shin**
We finally got them all handed out!
**[12:49] Rive**
Nice job.
**[12:51] Mikuru**
Thanks for your patience.
**[12:53] Mikuru**
I baked some cookies!
**[12:56] Shin**
Thanks, Mikuru!
**[12:58] Mark**
Let's sample them!
**[13:02] Rive**
Good timing. I'm starving!
**[13:05] Mikuru**
You don't get any, Bro!
**[13:07] Delivery Guy**
Special delivery!
**[13:10] Mark**
That must be the stuffed Li'l Valkerions!
**[13:14] Shin**
Great!
**[13:15] Tatsuya**
They're here at last!
**[13:19] Shin**
Isn't this package kinda big?
**[13:21] Tatsuya**
These *are* stuffed mascots, right?
**[13:24] Mikuru**
Maybe Mark's friend just made a lot?
**[13:28] Mark**
Th-That's...
**[13:30] Shin**
...a mascot character *costume!*
**[13:47] Shin**
What the heck happened?
**[13:49] Tatsuya**
I'm pretty sure we asked for stuffed mascots...
**[13:52] Mark**
I'll check.
**[13:56] Rive**
For now...
**[13:58] Rive**
...I'll try one of these!
**[14:00] Mikuru**
I said you can't have any!
**[14:06] Mikuru**
Hey! What kind of reaction is that?! How rude!
**[14:10] Rive**
Then *you* try one!
**[14:23] Tatsuya**
I think it's detergent...
**[14:25] Tatsuya**
Detergent smells sweet,
so she probably mistook it for sugar.
**[14:31] Rive**
Sheesh!
**[14:33] Mikuru**
I'm sorry!
**[14:34] Rive**
Thank goodness it's the day *before* the event.
**[14:41] Mark**
Oh. No.
**[14:43] Mark**
Oh my god!
**[14:52] Mikuru**
It's huge...
**[14:55] Tatsuya**
What should we do?
**[14:58] Rive**
There's nothing to worry about!
**[15:00] Rive**
You could just ride the thing!
**[15:02] Shin**
Master...
**[15:04] Shin**
I ride! Li'l Valkerion!
**[15:06] Rive**
I bet everybody'll get
charged up with this guy around!
**[15:11] Rive**
It'll have a much bigger impact
than stuffed animals!
**[15:13] Shin**
But I'm the manager...
**[15:15] Mikuru**
Then why don't you wear it, Bro?
**[15:17] Rive**
Wait, why me?!
**[15:19] Mikuru**
You're the one who suggested it!
**[15:22] Mark**
Okay. Roger that.
**[15:28] Mark**
It looks like we had a
miscommunication on both sides.
**[15:31] Mark**
To make a long story short...
**[15:36] Mark**
Where's Li'l Valkerion?
**[15:38] Rive**
Well? Does it look good on me?!
**[15:45] Mark**
Oh! No!
**[15:46] Mark**
Please take that off!
**[15:49] Rive**
What?!
**[15:50] Rive**
This was a huge pain to put on...
**[16:00] Mark**
Oh my god!
**[16:13] Mark**
It seems that since the drawing
had a person next to Li'l Valkerion,
**[16:18] Mark**
my friend thought that
we wanted a character costume.
**[16:25] Mikuru**
Oh, it's true.
**[16:28] Tatsuya**
It's Valkerion.
**[16:31] Tatsuya**
I sketched the original as a reference
for drawing the super-deformed version.
**[16:37] Mark**
Both sides should've confirmed it beforehand,
but we just came to an agreement where
**[16:41] Mark**
if we could send the suit back as-is,
we'd only be charged a nominal fee for labor.
**[16:50] Shin**
Now I guess all we can do is pay for it.
**[16:53] Mark**
In that case, this is the price.
**[16:57] Shin**
I could manage that with some part-time work.
**[17:00] Mark**
This is in dollars, not yen.
**[17:02] Shin**
Dollars?!
**[17:04] Rive**
Meaning, that amount times 100 or so...
**[17:15] Boy**
Hey, is that Valkerion?
**[17:18] Tatsuya**
Yes, that's right.
**[17:19] Boy**
That's so cute!
**[17:21] Boy**
Aw, I wish I could have that...
**[17:25] Tatsuya**
Here you go.
**[17:28] Boy**
Yay! Thank you!
**[17:32] Mother**
Thank you so much.
**[17:35] Mother**
My son loves Vanguard.
**[17:38] Mother**
While it's not much of a show of gratitude...
**[17:43] Tatsuya**
I got a bunch of persimmons.
**[17:46] Tatsuya**
Maybe Shinemon will like them.
**[17:48] Florist**
Hey, kid!
**[17:52] Florist**
Those are the highly sought-after
Montmouth persimmons!
**[17:58] Florist**
Please, let me have them!
**[18:00] Florist**
You can have anything you want
from my shop in trade!
**[18:08] Tatsuya**
These flowers seem expensive, but...
**[18:10] Woman**
Can I see those flowers?!
**[18:15] Tatsuya**
An autographed T-shirt...
**[18:18] Tatsuya**
An ammonite?!
**[18:19] Tatsuya**
This painting looks expensive...
**[18:22] President**
Well then, in exchange for that painting...
**[18:31] Shin**
It's no use.
**[18:32] Shin**
I've racked my brain, but I can't
come up with any good ideas.
**[18:38] Mikuru**
Shinemon...
**[18:42] Shin**
What should I do, Valkerion?
**[18:44] Shin**
At this rate, I'll never be
worthy of becoming the manager.
**[18:49] Tatsuya**
U-Um...
**[18:56] Shin**
A tuna?!
**[18:58] Mikuru**
How did you get that?!
**[19:00] Tatsuya**
It's a long story, but I traded my drawing,
and then after several more trades...
**[19:07] Shin**
Like the Straw Millionaire folk tale...
**[19:10] Mark**
Shinemon, this is nothing less
than a divine message!
***SIGN*** Tuna Slicing Show
**[19:15] Mark**
The heavens are ordering us
to do a tuna slicing show!
**[19:20] Shin**
R-Really?
**[19:22] Mark**
Yes! So let's get ready!
**[19:25] Butler**
Not so fast!
**[19:27] Tatsuya**
C-Can we help you?
**[19:29] Butler**
Please let me have that tuna!
**[19:33] Mark**
No, no!
**[19:35] Mark**
We're going to use it for a tuna slicing show!
**[19:37] Butler**
Of course, I don't expect to get it for free.
**[19:40] Butler**
Name your price!
**[19:43] Mikuru**
Give our price a name?
**[19:46] Tatsuya**
It means he'll pay what we ask for!
**[19:50] Shin**
Mark! Your phone!
**[19:51] Mark**
Okay!
**[19:53] Shin**
Then how about *this* much?!
**[19:55] Shin**
And to be clear, we're talking dollars!
**[20:03] Butler**
Okay! I'll pay you in cash!
**[20:07] Shin**
All right!
**[20:18] Shin**
We did it! We did it!
**[20:21] Mikuru**
Hey, cut it out! Calm down!
**[20:26] Rive**
What's all the fuss?
**[20:26] Shin**
We did it!
**[20:28] Mark**
We safely resolved the Li'l Valkerion issue!
**[20:32] Rive**
Oh, good.
**[20:40] Rive**
About that issue...
**[20:42] Rive**
They managed to solve it.
**[20:44] Rive**
Yeah. Sorry to make you worry, Tokimi.
**[20:54] Mark**
It looks much better now.
**[20:57] Shin**
Thank you, Mikuru!
**[20:59] Mikuru**
You're very welcome.
**[21:00] Mikuru**
And you're wearing it tomorrow!
**[21:03] Rive**
Yes, I know!
**[21:05] Shin**
Oh, that's right!
**[21:06] Shin**
Since the customers will be wearing costumes,
it'd look weird if we're not also in costume.
**[21:12] Mikuru**
Tatsuya and I are working on that right now.
**[21:15] Tatsuya**
Right!
**[21:16] Tatsuya**
But you'll just have to wait and see!
**[21:19] Mark**
Verily, I shall be clad in the usual.
**[21:23] Shin**
What should I wear?
**[21:25] Mark**
I will prepare your costume, Shinemon!
**[21:29] Shin**
Really?! That'll be a big help!
**[21:31] Mark**
Leave it to me!
**[21:32] Mark**
I'll bring a disguise worthy of a manager!
**[21:38] Shin**
To be honest, I'm still not sure myself
if I'm worthy of being the manager.
**[21:47] Shin**
But I know I love this shop more than anyone!
**[21:54] Shin**
Whatever the cost, let's see to it
that Card Capital makes a comeback!
**[21:58] All**
Yeah!
**[22:01] Shin**
We're not gonna let Esuka Hibino take it!
**[22:03] All**
Yeah!
**[22:04] Shin**
We're gonna make this
Halloween festival a success!
**[22:07] All**
Yeah!
**[22:08] Shin**
Vanguard forever!
**[22:11] All**
Yeah!
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card
is Tatsuya's new ace in the hole,
**[23:51] Narrator**
Cosmo Healer, Ergodiel!
***SIGN*** Cosmo Healer, Ergodiel
**[23:53] Narrator**
You can choose up to two from all rear-guards
**[23:56] Narrator**
to go to the Damage Zone,
and you'll heal that amount.
**[23:59] Narrator**
You'll also gain an extra critical.
**[24:01] Narrator**
On top of that, for every face-up card in your
opponent's Damage Zone, you get +5000 power!
**[24:07] Narrator**
This aggressive card is powerful enough
to back your opponent into a corner!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Shin**
It's the moment you've all been
waiting for: next episode's preview!
**[24:19] Shin**
Who's going to do it this time...?
**[24:21] Shin**
Hey, who's in charge of this week's preview?!
**[24:24] Mark**
Rive!
**[24:25] Mark**
But he's not here yet!
**[24:27] Mark**
And I can't get through to him!
**[24:29] Shin**
Master, while it's normal for you,
being late at a time like this?!
**[24:32] Shin**
All right, we'll just do it ourselves!
**[24:34] Mark**
Roger that! But we're already out of time...
**[24:38] Shin**
Don't tell me this preview is hinting
about a possible plot twist next week?!

**[00:18] Shin**
Today's the big day.
**[00:27] Shin**
Maybe I got up a little too early.
**[00:31] Shin**
No, Halloween celebrates the resurrection!
And so Capital will be resurrected, too!
**[00:35] Shin**
Make hay while the sun shines!
The early bird gets the worm!
**[00:44] Shin**
Wait, *is* Halloween
the one about the resurrection?
**[00:46] Shin**
Hmm...
***SIGN*** Fall Halloween Festival
**[00:54] Mark**
I wonder if Shinemon is up.
**[00:57] Tatsuya**
The shutters are open!
**[00:59] Tatsuya**
And it's clean in front of the shop.
**[01:01] Mikuru**
It looks like he's psyched for this
and getting ready.
**[01:10] Mikuru**
Wake up, Sleepyhead Cinnamon!
This is no time for napping!
**[01:16] Shin**
Mikuru...
**[01:18] Shin**
Actually, I woke up too
early this morning, and...
**[01:23] Mikuru**
Don't sleep!
**[01:25] Mikuru**
Mark! Get this sleepyhead into the shower!
**[01:28] Mark**
At once!
**[01:29] Mikuru**
Tatsuya! Prepare to open the shop!
**[01:32] Tatsuya**
R-Right!
**[01:34] Mikuru**
Come to think of it, where's my dumb brother?
**[01:38] Tatsuya**
I haven't seen him yet.
**[01:40] Mikuru**
He's supposed to wear the
Li'l Valkerion costume, right?
**[01:42] Mikuru**
Where could he be?
***SIGN*** Remind 8 Welcome to Capital!!
**[03:24] Tatsuya**
All right. The cleaning's done.
**[03:25] Shin**
You sure it's okay for the manager
to wear an outfit like this?
**[03:33] Mark**
A manager is the one who runs the shop.
**[03:36] Mark**
Verily, it is natural for you
to wear the garb of a magistrate.
**[03:39] Mikuru**
I... I think it suits you.
**[03:42] Mikuru**
In fact...
**[03:44] Mikuru**
It suits you *too* well,
Moron Magistrate Cinnamon!
**[03:47] Shin**
Hey...
**[03:49] Shin**
"Moron" was uncalled for!
**[03:51] Tatsuya**
Rive sure is late...
**[03:53] Mark**
Verily, he should arrive shortly.
**[03:56] Shin**
Let's get started without him.
**[03:58] Shin**
It's been a while for Capital!
**[04:00] Shin**
Let's do our best not to let down the customers!
**[04:07] Shin**
Capital...
**[04:08] Shin**
...is open!
**[04:09] All**
Yeah!
**[04:14] Regular A**
It's really open?
**[04:16] Mikuru**
W-Welcome!
**[04:25] Regular B**
Whoa!
**[04:26] Regular A**
So cute!
**[04:28] Mikuru**
N-No, I'm really not!
**[04:32] Mikuru**
Maybe I do have what it takes to be an idol.
**[04:35] Tatsuya**
Shindou, let's get to work.
**[04:38] Shin**
You guys came?!
**[04:45] Regular A**
N-Nitta, is that you?!
**[04:46] Regular B**
Halloween or not, that outfit's too much!
**[04:52] Regular A**
So who reopened the shop?
**[04:56] Shin**
The current manager is yours truly!
***SIGN*** Manager
**[05:03] Regular B**
Your face's enough of a joke already!
**[05:05] Shin**
No, it's true!
**[05:08] Extra A**
Capital's actually open!
**[05:10] Extra B**
It's been so long!
***SIGN*** Manager
**[05:12] Shin**
How about this?!
**[05:14] Mikuru**
I fear it raises the level of stupidity.
**[05:16] Shin**
It's best to make it obvious!
**[05:18] Customer**
Manager!
**[05:21] Shin**
Coming!
**[05:23] Mark**
Verily, it *is* quite obvious now.
**[05:26] Shin**
The units depicted on the cards
are inhabitants of the planet Cray.
**[05:31] Student A**
The planet Cray?
**[05:32] Shin**
A planet somewhere in the cosmos.
**[05:34] Shin**
Like Earth, it has many countries,
with organizations called clans,
**[05:37] Shin**
all constantly competing with each other.
**[05:40] Student A**
Huh, so that's the setting?
**[05:44] Shin**
Perhaps...
**[05:45] Shin**
...Cray might actually exist!
**[05:51] Shin**
When you fight, there are moments
when the Cray units feel so close to you.
**[05:57] Shin**
I'll get to meet them someday!
**[06:00] Shin**
That's the feeling I have!
**[06:03] Shin**
Anyway, it's very important
to have that strong of an imagination.
**[06:07] Student A**
All right, I'll imagine it next time!
**[06:11] Tatsuya**
Fascinating...
***SIGN*** Fall Halloween Festival
**[06:18] Shin**
Those are the contest cookies, huh?
**[06:20] Shin**
Let's hope they're edible this time.
**[06:24] Mikuru**
You tell me!
**[06:32] Girl**
Excuse me.
**[06:33] Girl**
Sorry, but...
**[06:37] Shin**
Hello? Are you okay in there?
**[06:43] Shin**
Please don't change in the restroom.
**[06:46] Tatsuya**
Shinemon!
**[06:48] Tatsuya**
We have a customer who's not in costume!
**[06:56] Shin**
Now he is!
**[06:58] Mother**
Thank you so much!
**[07:01] Shin**
It was nothing. All part of
the job of being a manager.
**[07:04] Mikuru**
Shinemon, a customer over there
wants to be taught how to play.
**[07:09] Shin**
Where's Mark?
**[07:10] Mikuru**
Teaching another customer.
**[07:12] Mark**
Well, first you stand your cards,
and then draw one card from your deck.
**[07:18] Tatsuya**
Hello, Card Capital.
**[07:21] Tatsuya**
Shinemon, the shopping district chairman
wants to see you right away.
**[07:25] Tatsuya**
It sounds important.
**[07:26] Shin**
Right away?!
**[07:28] Shin**
Darn it! If only Master were here right now!
**[07:34] Shin**
Master?!
**[07:38] Shin**
*Two* Masters?!
**[07:41] Nanami**
Who're you calling "Master"?!
**[07:43] Tonori**
I'm starving, yo.
**[07:44] Shin**
Oh, it's just you two...
**[07:47] Shin**
Matching costumes?
**[07:48] Nanami**
It was a coincidence!
**[07:50] Shin**
Well, anyway, good timing.
**[07:52] Shin**
Would you look after the beginners?
**[07:54] Nanami**
Huh? But we're customers--
**[07:56] Shin**
Please!
**[08:01] Nanami**
B-Begging's not going to work, either.
**[08:11] Nanami**
I'm in heaven!
**[08:17] Shin**
Sorry it took so long! You wanted to see me?
**[08:20] Chairman**
Opening the card shop like you did
has been a very great help.
**[08:24] Member A**
A festival just isn't lively
without young people there.
**[08:30] Chairman**
I wanted to express my gratitude. Thank you.
**[08:34] Shin**
Oh, you're welcome...
**[08:36] Members A and B**
Thank you!
**[08:38] Shin**
This...
**[08:40] Shin**
...is all he wanted?!
**[08:47] Mikuru**
The suit's going to waste!
**[08:49] Mikuru**
And we spent good money to have it made...
**[08:51] Mikuru**
Blockhead big brother!
**[08:56] Tatsuya**
Shinemon, what was that about?
**[09:00] Shin**
Please don't ask!
**[09:02] Shin**
We need to get ready for the tournament.
**[09:04] Tatsuya**
Right!
**[09:06] Shin**
Okay, we're all here.
**[09:08] Mark**
Eh? What has happened to the cookies?
**[09:11] Mikuru**
Huh? I set them down over here...
**[09:27] Tatsuya**
Our cookies...
**[09:29] Tonori**
S-Sorry, yo...
**[09:32] Nanami**
I can't take this guy anywhere.
**[09:34] Shin**
It's our fault for setting them
where customers could see.
**[09:39] Tatsuya**
But what are we going to do?
**[09:42] Mikuru**
No need to worry.
**[09:45] Mikuru**
While I may have mixed up
sugar and laundry detergent yesterday...
**[09:51] Mikuru**
Today's mistake was excess amounts!
**[09:54] Mikuru**
Thanks to that, I have enough
leftover cookies at home for a bake sale!
**[09:57] Shin**
Well done!
**[09:58] Tatsuya**
But there's no time...
**[10:01] Mark**
Verily, it is my turn.
**[10:04] Mark**
You may leave this errand to me!
**[10:12] Tonori**
I'll help out any way I can, yo.
**[10:15] Shin**
In that case...
**[10:17] Shin**
...would you wear the Li'l Valkerion costume?
**[10:19] Tonori**
A'ight.
**[10:27] Tatsuya**
Are you okay?!
**[10:29] Nanami**
You're too weak.
**[10:30] Tonori**
Nah, this thing's really heavy, yo.
**[10:33] Tatsuya**
The Vanguard tournament is about to begin!
**[10:36] Rive**
Did someone say, "Vanguard tournament"?
**[10:39] Rive**
Starting the Vanguard tournament without me...
**[10:42] Rive**
...is unforgivable!
**[10:45] Tatsuya**
Li'l Valkerion...
**[10:47] Mikuru**
...stood up!
**[10:49] Shin**
Who *are* you?!
**[10:54] Rive**
It's me!
**[11:12] Shin**
Master!
**[11:14] Mikuru**
Why were you hiding in there?!
**[11:16] Rive**
I wasn't hiding!
**[11:20] Rive**
I got to Capital early this morning,
but Shinemon was asleep on his feet.
**[11:24] Rive**
So I put on the Li'l Valkerion suit,
intending to scare him...
**[11:31] Rive**
...but it looks like the joke was on me.
**[11:35] Tatsuya**
So you mean to participate
in the Vanguard tournament?
**[11:40] Rive**
Naturally! I'm a Cardfighter!
**[11:42] Mikuru**
You're one of the sponsors, Bro!
**[11:44] Rive**
Shinemon's the sponsor.
**[11:46] Mikuru**
You promised to wear the Li'l Valkerion costume!
**[11:49] Rive**
And I did!
**[11:52] Rive**
Now I'm just a regular customer.
**[11:55] Rive**
So let me have my fun, Manager!
**[11:59] Shin**
Master...
**[12:01] Mark**
Verily, the cookies have arrived!
**[12:05] Shin**
All right! Let's do this!
***SIGN*** Halloween Vanguard Tournament In Progress!
**[12:07] Shin**
And now, we're going to hold
a Vanguard tournament!
**[12:13] Shin**
Is everybody ready?
**[12:17] Shin**
Ready... Go!
**[12:20] Mark/Rive/Nanami/Tonori**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[12:23] Customer A**
All right! I won!
**[12:25] Mikuru**
Congratulations!
**[12:27] Tatsuya**
Congratulations! Here you go.
**[12:32] Tonori**
I'm starvin', yo.
**[12:36] Customer D**
I lost.
**[12:38] Customer E**
I lost.
**[12:40] Customer F**
I lost.
**[12:44] Mark**
Verily, come and get me!
**[12:49] Nanami**
I hear you're Shinemon's "master"?
**[12:52] Nanami**
Show me how good you are.
**[13:01] Rive**
*This* is how good I am.
**[13:07] Shin**
And now, I'll announce the top three!
**[13:10] Shin**
Nanami Gonomi, 20 wins!
**[13:15] Shin**
Ninja Master, 25 wins!
**[13:19] Shin**
Rive Shindou, 25 wins!
**[13:23] Mikuru**
My dumbbell big brother is so childish!
**[13:26] Rive**
When it comes to Vanguard, I'm always serious!
**[13:32] Tatsuya**
What now, Manager?
**[13:34] Rive**
Will you let the tournament end
with us at an equal number of wins?
**[13:40] Shin**
No.
**[13:41] Shin**
Since you're tied for first,
we'll have a final match!
**[13:48] Extra X**
Awesome!
**[13:50] Extra Y**
This is gonna be great!
**[13:53] Mark/Rive**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[13:59] Mark**
Ninja Art, Riding Jutsu!
**[14:04] Mark**
Evil Stealth Dragon, Ushimitsumaru!
**[14:06] Rive**
I ride!
**[14:10] Rive**
Full Moon Muscle!
**[14:17] Shin**
I wanted to play, too...
**[14:20] Shin**
No, I'm the manager!
**[14:22] Shin**
There are other things for me to do.
**[14:23] Old Woman**
Excuse me...
**[14:26] Shin**
Yes?
**[14:29] Shin**
May I help you?
**[14:31] Mark**
Ninja Art, Riding Jutsu!
**[14:37] Mark**
Evil Stealth Dragon, Kurogiri!
**[14:39] Rive**
I ride!
**[14:43] Rive**
Star-fighter, Silver Fist!
**[14:46] Rive**
Clay-doll Mechanic! Silver Fist!
**[14:52] Rive**
I'm gonna let you have it!
**[14:54] Rive**
Drive check!
**[14:57] Rive**
Front trigger! +20,000 power!
**[15:00] Tatsuya**
Why 20,000?
**[15:01] Nanami**
When Silver Fist is there,
a front trigger's power is increased.
**[15:08] Mark**
Damage check!
**[15:12] Mark**
Critical trigger!
**[15:14] Mark**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
**[15:17] Rive**
Once more! Attack!
**[15:22] Mark**
Ninja Art, Guarding Jutsu!
**[15:26] Mark**
Verily, it is my turn!
**[15:28] Mark**
Ninja Art, Riding Jutsu!
**[15:33] Mark**
Evil Stealth Dragon, Zangetsu!
**[15:36] Mark**
Rally to me, Kurogiri!
**[15:39] Mark**
Ninja Art, Summoning Jutsu! Evil Decoy Token!
**[15:45] Mark**
A second Calling Jutsu!
**[15:47] Mark**
Rally to me, Kurogiri!
Stealth Beast, Chigasumi!
**[15:51] Mark**
In addition, by my power...
**[15:54] Mark**
Evil Decoy Token!
**[15:59] Tatsuya**
Three Evil Decoy Token units?!
**[16:03] Mark**
I have long desired to ask you something.
**[16:07] Rive**
Ask me what?
**[16:09] Tonori**
First he sends his rear-guard
Silver Fist to the Drop Zone?
**[16:14] Mark**
When Esuka Hibino
first arrived to acquire Capital,
**[16:18] Mark**
why did you not oppose her, Rive?
**[16:22] Mark**
Verily, have you no affection for Capital?!
**[16:26] Mark**
Chigasumi, once again!
**[16:28] Chigasumi**
Understood!
**[16:35] Rive**
Have I no affection for Capital?
**[16:37] Rive**
Don't ask me foolish questions!
**[16:41] Rive**
I ride!
**[16:46] Rive**
Fusing Striker!
**[16:48] Rive**
It's time, Fusing Striker! Silver Fist!
**[16:53] Rive**
Let's go!
**[16:54] Rive**
Drive check!
**[16:58] Rive**
I got a front trigger!
**[17:00] Tatsuya**
Another front trigger?!
**[17:01] Nanami**
Fusing Striker also increases
the power of front triggers.
**[17:06] Mikuru**
Which means...
**[17:08] Tonori**
They're +25,000. He's done for, yo.
**[17:15] Rive**
Clay-doll Mechanic! Silver Fist! Go for it!
**[17:22] Rive**
Fusing Striker! You too!
**[17:27] Mark**
Ninja Art, Intercept Jutsu!
**[17:33] Mark**
If you have affection for it, then why?
**[17:39] Rive**
Isn't there someone who has
even more affection for this place?
***SIGN*** Manager
**[17:43] Shin**
If you go straight here,
you'll reach an intersection.
**[17:47] Shin**
Turn left there...
**[17:48] Old Woman**
Eh?
**[17:49] Shin**
Um, at the intersection...
**[17:52] Old Woman**
Ah!
**[17:57] Shin**
Okay!
**[17:58] Shin**
I'll lead you there.
**[18:00] Shin**
It's this way. Let's go.
**[18:02] Old Woman**
Thank you, young man!
**[18:04] Shin**
My pleasure.
**[18:05] Rive**
An idiot who says he's gonna manage the place,
**[18:08] Rive**
even though he's just
a third-year high school brat.
**[18:11] Mark**
Rive...
**[18:14] Mark**
Ninja Art, Riding Jutsu!
**[18:21] Mark**
Evil Stealth Dragon Akatsuki, Hanzo!
**[18:24] Mark**
Imaginary Gift, Protect II!
**[18:26] Mark**
Verily, you shall now experience my Token Jutsu!
**[18:32] Mark**
Attack!
**[18:35] Rive**
Cannonball!
**[18:38] Mark**
Take this!
**[18:42] Mark**
Drive check!
**[18:45] Mark**
Critical trigger!
**[18:47] Rive**
What?!
**[18:50] Mark**
Zangetsu and Kurogiri attack
your rear-guard Fusing Striker!
**[18:57] Mark**
Then it is your duty to support Shinemon.
**[19:03] Rive**
That's for *him* to decide!
**[19:06] Rive**
I ride!
**[19:11] Rive**
Fighting Fist Dragon, God Hand Dragon!
**[19:14] Rive**
Imaginary Gift, Accel I!
**[19:16] Rive**
Accel Circle opened!
**[19:18] Rive**
I call God Hand there!
**[19:20] Rive**
And then, I call Fusing Striker!
**[19:24] Tatsuya**
Not again!
**[19:25] Tatsuya**
His front triggers keep getting more powerful!
**[19:30] Rive**
Here we go!
**[19:31] Rive**
Its skill activates!
**[19:36] Rive**
An extra critical, along with triple drive!
**[19:41] Mark**
Perfect Guard Jutsu!
Stealth Beast, Mijingakure!
**[19:46] Rive**
Blocked it, huh? But...
**[19:48] Rive**
Drive check!
**[19:50] Rive**
Front trigger!
**[19:55] Rive**
Front trigger!
**[19:58] Tatsuya**
A double front trigger?!
**[20:00] Nanami**
+60,000 power to the front row?!
**[20:03] Nanami**
That's too much!
**[20:09] Mark**
Such... tremendous... power...
**[20:17] Shin**
What happened?!
**[20:21] Mark**
Verily, I have lost.
**[20:28] Shin**
The winner of the
Halloween Vanguard Tournament...
**[20:31] Shin**
...is Rive Shindou!
**[20:38] Rive**
Shinemon.
**[20:40] Rive**
Do what you'd like to do.
**[20:43] Rive**
I look forward to seeing it.
**[20:46] Shin**
Master Rive...
**[20:50] Rive**
Well, I've gotta get to work.
**[20:55] Tatsuya**
Rive was really curious about
how many wins Mark had.
**[21:04] Tatsuya**
He kept asking me.
**[21:09] Mark**
He adjusted the quantity of his own wins
so that he might have a final match against me?!
**[21:14] Nanami**
Well, it did help to liven the place up.
**[21:21] Shin**
Thank you, Master!
**[21:29] Esuka**
Having a rough time yourself, Manager?
**[21:34] Esuka**
Though perhaps I owe you my gratitude.
**[21:39] Shin**
Excuse me, but... who are you?
**[21:48] Mikuru**
A swimsuit!
**[21:49] Tatsuya**
But why?!
**[21:51] Shin**
You're Esuka Hibino!
**[21:54] Mikuru**
How do *you* know?!
**[21:55] Tatsuya**
There's no one else like that.
**[22:00] Esuka**
After all, you've worked so hard
to make my Capital a success.
**[22:05] Shin**
Your...?!
***SIGN*** To be continued.
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card
is Rive's ace in the hole,
**[23:51] Narrator**
Fighting Fist Dragon, God Hand Dragon!
***SIGN*** Fighting Fist Dragon, God Hand Dragon
**[23:53] Narrator**
It's a unit that increases
front-trigger power by +10,000!
**[23:58] Narrator**
By discarding a card from your hand,
you can perform an extra drive,
**[24:02] Narrator**
which makes it easier
to draw another front trigger!
**[24:04] Narrator**
And if your opponent's Vanguard is
grade 3 or higher, you get an extra critical!
**[24:08] Narrator**
It's a unit with dynamic skills,
just perfect for Rive!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Tonori**
Yo, so they said I'm in charge
of the preview comments this time,
**[24:20] Tonori**
but I'm starvin' and dunno what to say.
**[24:23] Nanami**
At times like this, give them an intro.
**[24:26] Tonori**
An intro...?
**[24:28] Tonori**
So I had this fight the other day.
**[24:30] Tonori**
My first hand had all grade-3 units.
**[24:33] Tonori**
I kept one and changed the rest,
but they were all grade 3s, too.
**[24:37] Tonori**
Then the first card I drew was also a grade 3.
***SIGN*** Remind 9

**[00:08] Esuka**
Though perhaps I owe you my gratitude.
**[00:13] Shin**
Excuse me, but... who are you?
**[00:20] Shin**
You're Esuka Hibino!

How do *you* know?!

There's no one else like that.

After all, you've worked so hard
to make my Capital a success.
**[00:34] Shin**
What'd you just say?!
**[00:37] Shin**
The strength of imagination!
**[00:40] Shin**
That's the strength of Vanguard!
**[00:45] Shin**
Don't get dominated by
your opponent's imagination!
**[00:48] Shin**
Rewrite that imagination!
**[02:23] Regular A**
I haven't had that much fun in ages.
**[02:26] Regular B**
Don't make this a one-day deal.
Open the shop every day from now on!
**[02:30] Regulars A&B**
We love Capital.
**[02:33] Shin**
I hear you.
**[02:34] Regular B**
See you!
**[02:37] Tatsuya**
The one-day Halloween Festival
pop-up shop is finally over.
**[02:41] Mark**
Verily, it was exhausting, yet fun.
**[02:44] Mikuru**
Well, we'd better change and then clean up.
**[02:50] Shin**
Open the shop every day, from now on...
**[02:54] Mikuru**
Hey! What are you doing, Space Cadet Cinnamon?!
***SIGN*** Remind 9
Valkerion's Tears
**[03:08] Shin**
Wha...?! Wha...?! Wha...?! Wha...?!
**[03:12] Shin**
What *is* all this?!
**[03:14] Mark**
Oh! Great!
**[03:15] Tatsuya**
Yes, what a feast!
**[03:17] Mikuru**
But who's providing it?!
**[03:20] Esuka**
That would be me.
**[03:23] Esuka**
As thanks for warming up my Capital today.
**[03:26] Esuka**
Come on, let's celebrate.
**[03:29] Shin**
Wait a minute!
**[03:31] Shin**
First of all, this isn't "your" Capital!
**[03:38] Esuka**
A toast. My best wishes to all of you,
and a pat on the back for a hard day's work.
**[03:45] Butler**
Cheers!
**[03:47] All**
*You* made the toast?!
**[03:51] Shin**
Listen up! None of us are gonna take
a single bite of any food provided by Esuka!
**[03:57] Mark**
A samurai pretends to have eaten well
even when he has no food.
**[04:00] Tatsuya**
It's fascinating, but I won't eat any!
**[04:11] Shin**
This curry-and-rice kinda stuff is crazy good!
**[04:15] Tonori**
It's stroganoff made with wagyu beef, yo.
**[04:18] Shin**
This doesn't mean we've given in to Esuka!
**[04:22] Tatsuya**
Shinemon is right!
**[04:24] Tatsuya**
While this whole-roasted chicken
may have fascinating flavor...
**[04:27] Tonori**
It's domestic spring chicken,
rotisserie-style, yo.
**[04:32] Tatsuya**
...that doesn't change
our passion to protect Capital!
**[04:37] Mark**
This sauteed fish head is as delectable as
the dishes Nobunaga served to Tokugawa Ieyasu...
**[04:47] Tonori**
It'sh all-natural broiled shea bream.
**[04:50] Mark**
...yet that does not reduce
the strength of our will!
**[04:57] Mikuru**
Even while protesting,
they're stuffing their faces.
**[05:10] Shin**
Come over and eat with us!
**[05:22] Shin**
Valkerion! Zodiac Blazer!
**[05:27] Tonori**
Dude changed outta one costume
just to put on another?
**[05:30] Mikuru**
That's Cosplayin' Cinnamon!
**[05:33] Nanami**
What's it like in there?
**[05:35] Tatsuya**
That's a fascinating question.
**[05:40] Shin**
It smells kinda weird, for some reason.
**[05:43] Tatsuya**
The water from that bucket may have soaked in.
**[05:47] Mark**
Plus Rive had the suit on for hours.
He must have sweated up a storm.
**[06:03] Shin**
Noooo!
**[06:05] All**
Nooo!
**[06:06] Voice**
Hey! Don't come near me!
**[06:08] Butler**
I believe this is our cue to leave.
**[06:11] Esuka**
I know.
**[06:13] Esuka**
We still haven't heard
Shinemon Nitta say those words.
**[06:21] Shin**
Hey, everyone.
**[06:25] Shin**
I'd like to thank all of you
for working so hard on Capital's behalf.
**[06:30] Shin**
While we had our share of trouble,
I can now look back and say it was fun.
**[06:34] Shin**
I was gratified to see all
of our guests smiling.
**[06:40] Regular B**
Don't make this a one-day deal.
Open the shop every day from now on!
**[06:44] Regular A**
We love Capital.
**[06:48] Shin**
Starting tomorrow,
Capital is officially reopened!
**[06:54] Esuka**
You heard that?
**[06:55] Butler**
Yes.
**[06:57] Butler**
I certainly did.
**[07:12] Nanami**
I've never seen Ms. Esuka like this.
**[07:14] Butler**
Ms. Esuka has been waiting a long time
for Mr. Nitta to say those words.
**[07:20] Shin**
"Those words"?
**[07:21] Butler**
Once Mr. Nitta seriously declared
his intention to reopen Capital,
**[07:27] Butler**
Ms. Esuka would battle him in a game of
Vanguard, with the shop as the stakes.
**[07:30] Butler**
She has had that in mind for quite a while.
**[07:34] Shin**
What?!
**[07:37] Esuka**
Fight me, Shinemon Nitta!
**[07:41] Esuka**
If you win, I'll leave Capital alone.
**[07:44] Esuka**
And also...
**[07:46] Esuka**
I'll explain about that photograph.
**[07:54] Esuka**
However, if you lose, you leave.
***SIGN*** Misaki Tokura
**[08:10] Shin**

**[08:12] Tatsuya**
Don't do it, Shinemon!
What if you happen to lose?!
**[08:15] Mark**
That's right! Are you serious?!
**[08:17] Shin**
Shut up!
**[08:18] Mikuru**
You Unthinking Cinnamon!
**[08:20] Shin**
Remember the smiles on
all our guests' faces today!
**[08:25] Shin**
I'll win. I swear I'll win!
**[08:30] Shin**
Capital is the place where we hang out!
**[08:33] Shin**
It's the place where we play!
**[08:35] Shin**
And it's the place I will protect!
**[08:38] Shin**
I am Shinemon Nitta!
**[08:40] Shin**
Come at me with everything you've got!
**[08:45] Shin/Esuka**
Stand up, Vanguard!

**[09:06] Tonori**
Yeah, a clan of scholarly animals
who hang out in a gigantic school.
**[09:11] Shin**
Vixen!
**[09:13] Shin**
This is the day you see once and for all
whom Capital really belongs to!
**[09:16] Esuka**
I couldn't agree more.
**[09:19] Esuka**
I go first.
**[09:22] Esuka**
I ride!
**[09:24] Esuka**
Prober of Black Jet, Cecile!
**[09:27] Esuka**
With it's skill, I draw one card.
That's the end of my turn.
**[09:32] Shin**
I ride!
**[09:35] Shin**
Atlas of Heavenly Sphere!
**[09:37] Shin**
With Pan's skill, I draw one card!
**[09:39] Shin**
With Atlas's skill, I Soul Charge!
**[09:48] Esuka**
I ride!
**[09:50] Esuka**
Scientist of Black Sheen, Mathilda!
**[09:53] Esuka**
I'll teach you about this card.
**[09:55] Esuka**
With Mathilda, different effects are activated
when a card is turned over from the deck,
**[10:01] Esuka**
depending on whether or not it's a trigger unit.
**[10:03] Nanami**
So it's like a lottery drawing.
**[10:06] Shin**
A lottery drawing...
**[10:08] Shin**
Whatever happens is entrusted to fate.
**[10:16] Esuka**
This time it's a trigger.
**[10:18] Esuka**
Mathilda gets an extra critical.
**[10:21] Esuka**
I call Silver Wolf!
**[10:24] Esuka**
Follow me!
**[10:26] Silver Wolf**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[10:28] Mark**
Grade 2, with 21,000 power?!
**[10:31] Tatsuya**
And two criticals!
**[10:33] Mikuru**
What'll Shinemon do?
**[10:35] Shin**
No guard!
**[10:41] Shin**
I won't give in!
**[10:44] Shin**
I'll never...
**[10:46] Shin**
...let her have Capital!
**[11:00] Shin**
I ride!
**[11:01] Shin**
Prometheus of Dancing Lights!
**[11:03] Shin**
I call Parthenos of Holy Verse
and Diana of Moonlight!
**[11:10] Shin**
Prometheus attacks Mathilda!
**[11:12] Esuka**
Castanet Donkey guards!
**[11:16] Shin**
Drive check!
**[11:20] Shin**
A critical trigger!
**[11:22] Shin**
I give all of the effects to Parthenos!
**[11:24] Shin**
Go, Parthenos!
**[11:32] Tatsuya**
Now she's got 3 damage!
**[11:35] Shin**
Diana's skill activates!
**[11:37] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift, Force I!
**[11:44] Mikuru**
Hey, who's winning?
**[11:47] Tatsuya**
It's hard to say, but...
**[11:49] Mark**
Shinemon is holding his own!
**[11:52] Mikuru**
Thank goodness!
**[11:54] Esuka**
Learn well!
**[11:55] Esuka**
With wisdom and knowledge...
**[11:58] Esuka**
...I ride!
**[12:03] Esuka**
Holy Great Sage of Black Shadows, Isabelle!
**[12:09] Esuka**
I get an Imaginary Gift, Accel I.
**[12:15] Esuka**
Isabelle's skill activates!
**[12:20] Esuka**
This time it's a trigger,
which I add to my hand.
**[12:23] Shin**
Vixen! Are you going to have
a lottery drawing with that one, too?
**[12:28] Esuka**
Come, Geograph Giant!
**[12:31] Esuka**
Binoculus Tiger and Silver Wolf, you're up!
**[12:36] Esuka**
Binoculus Tiger, attack Prometheus!
**[12:43] Shin**
I guard with Battle Maiden, Kukurihime!
**[12:48] Esuka**
This time it's me...
**[12:58] Esuka**
Geograph Giant, go and teach
Prometheus just how strong you are!
**[13:10] Tonori**
He's got 4 damage, yo. So far so good.
**[13:13] Nanami**
And also...
**[13:15] Nanami**
Ms. Esuka hasn't pulled out all the stops yet.
**[13:33] Shin**
I ride!
**[13:36] Shin**
The entirety of destiny is inscribed
within the blinding darkness!
**[13:41] Shin**
And I am the one who recites it!
**[13:48] Shin**
Gleaming Lord, Uranus!
**[13:52] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift, Force I!
**[13:58] Shin**
Uranus's skill activates!
**[14:00] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[14:02] Shin**
With this, Uranus gets +10,000 power!
**[14:05] Shin**
I call Atlas!
**[14:07] Shin**
I call Parthenos!
**[14:08] Shin**
Then I call one more Atlas unit!
**[14:27] Shin**
Circle Shift! Astral Plane!
**[14:47] Shin**
Rewrite the imagination...
**[14:51] Shin**
...O great planetary guardian deity!
**[14:53] Shin**
Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
**[15:04] Tatsuya**
This is Shinemon's surefire victory pattern!
**[15:06] Mark**
And even earlier than usual!
**[15:09] Mikuru**
So he's okay, right?
**[15:11] Mikuru**
Shinemon will win, won't he?
**[15:13] Tatsuya**
Of course!
**[15:14] Nanami**
We'll see.
**[15:17] Shin**
Parthenos, take out Binoculus!
**[15:23] Esuka**
No guard.
**[15:29] Esuka**
No guard!
**[15:30] Shin**
Drive check!
**[15:32] Shin**
First check!
**[15:33] Shin**
Second check!
**[15:35] Tatsuya**
A critical trigger!
**[15:37] Shin**
I give the power to my left-side Parthenos,
and the extra critical to my Vanguard!
**[15:44] Tatsuya**
She's got 5 damage!
**[15:46] Mikuru**
Just 1 more damage, right?
**[15:47] Tatsuya**
Right!
**[15:48] Mark**
Let's go! Valkerion!
**[15:54] Shin**
Valkerion! Zodiac Blazer!
**[16:16] Esuka**
Perfect guard.
**[16:18] Shin**
She had that card?!
**[16:23] Shin**
I'm not done yet!
**[16:25] Shin**
Drive check!
**[16:29] Mark**
Oh! A double critical!
**[16:31] Shin**
I give all of the effects to Parthenos!
**[16:35] Shin**
I'm counting on you, Parthenos!
**[16:40] Esuka**
It's no use.
**[16:41] Esuka**
I guard with Dictionary Goat and Cecile.
**[16:58] Nanami**
Ms. Esuka used strategic "no guards"
earlier so that she could block now.
**[17:02] Tatsuya**
Even though he called Valkerion
sooner than ever before...
**[17:08] Esuka**
I ride Isabelle once more!
**[17:12] Esuka**
Imaginary Gift, Accel I!
**[17:16] Shin**
You're gonna use that lottery drawing
thing again, huh? What'll it be this time?!
**[17:20] Esuka**
Both.
**[17:21] Shin**
What does that mean?!
**[17:23] Esuka**
I'll explain just what Isabelle's true power is.
**[17:26] Esuka**
Before, I could only use one of
Isabelle's effects, but now I can use both.
**[17:31] Shin**
What?!
**[17:32] Tatsuya**
She can use both?!
**[17:34] Mark**
In effect, two effects!
**[17:37] Esuka**
Isabelle's skill activates!
**[17:39] Esuka**
With this, Isabelle gets +15,000 power.
**[17:44] Esuka**
Come on out, Geograph Giant!
**[17:48] Esuka**
Monoculus Tiger, you as well.
**[17:51] Esuka**
And also Mathilda. Time for class.
**[17:54] Esuka**
Mathilda's skill activates!
**[17:58] Tatsuya**
A normal card!
**[18:00] Esuka**
Now you must use two or more units
to guard against Mathilda's attacks this turn.
**[18:04] Shin**
What?!
**[18:06] Esuka**
And that's not all.
**[18:08] Esuka**
An extra critical.
**[18:10] Shin**
Not Mathilda, too?!
**[18:15] Esuka**
I attack Uranus!
**[18:18] Shin**
No guard!
**[18:21] Esuka**
Twin drive!
**[18:23] Esuka**
First check.
**[18:27] Esuka**
Second check.
**[18:32] Esuka**
It's a critical trigger.
**[18:34] Esuka**
I give the power to Monoculus Tiger,
and the extra critical to Isabelle.
**[18:49] Mikuru**
Shinemon has five cards in his hand,
so why didn't he do anything?!
**[18:54] Tatsuya**
Even if he guarded against that,
there would still be Mathilda!
**[18:57] Esuka**
It was a cool, strategic decision.
**[18:59] Esuka**
And the correct one.
**[19:02] Esuka**
But that still doesn't guarantee victory.
**[19:05] Esuka**
Go on, try your luck.
**[19:18] Esuka**
5 damage.
**[19:20] Esuka**
One more to go.
**[19:26] Esuka**
I suppose you're not ready for it.
**[19:29] Shin**
Even after making it this far,
all I can do is rely on luck?!
**[19:33] Mark**
Hey, Shinemon!
**[19:36] Mark**
Li'l Valkerion's cheering you on! Hang in there!
**[19:40] Tatsuya**
Shinemon, please remember!
**[19:44] Tatsuya**
Remember how we got Li'l Valkerion!
**[19:49] Tatsuya**
We've got luck on our side!
I'm sure it'll be okay!
**[20:02] Esuka**
Look there.
**[20:06] Shin**
You're the man from the other day!
**[20:13] Butler**
I am Hitsujida the butler.
**[20:16] Shin**
D-Don't tell me...
**[20:18] Esuka**
That's right. *I'm* the one who paid for it.
**[20:22] Shin**
What?!
**[20:24] Tatsuya**
Then...
**[20:27] Esuka**
Don't get cocky just because
you ran a business for a single day.
**[20:32] Esuka**
Most of the people who came today
were customers of the previous manager.
**[20:36] Esuka**
Not you.
**[20:39] Esuka**
Do you have a vision for this shop's future?
**[20:42] Esuka**
A real shop isn't like one at a school festival.
**[20:46] Mikuru**
That's enough!
**[20:47] Esuka**
All of you, use your heads!
**[20:50] Esuka**
Were you compensated for your work today?
**[20:54] Esuka**
You can't run a business with volunteers.
**[20:57] Esuka**
If you calculated earnings and expenses,
you'd likely be deep in the red from today alone.
**[21:15] Esuka**
Running a shop isn't child's play.
**[21:19] Esuka**
Adults think hard and then use
originality and ingenuity to make it work.
**[21:27] Shin**
I lost...
**[21:59] Shin**
I don't believe it...
**[22:02] Shin**
It can't be...
**[22:04] Shin**
It can't be!
**[22:05] Shin**
It can't be! It can't be! It can't!
**[22:07] Shin**
It can't!
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Esuka's ace in the hole,
Holy Great Sage of Black Shadows, Isabelle!
***SIGN*** Holy Great Sage of Black Shadows, Isabelle
**[23:53] Narrator**
When you flip over a card from your deck,
then depending on the card's type,
**[23:56] Narrator**
this unit either gets +15,000 power or triggers
its skill to add the flipped card to your hand.
**[24:01] Narrator**
However, if the opponent is grade 3 or higher,
you can activate both of those effects!
**[24:06] Narrator**
It can activate both lottery drawing skills
on allies as well, making them twice as strong!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Mikuru**
How did you make Li'l Valkerion?
**[24:18] Voice**
I first made a diagram based on the design
and built a small model with plaster and clay.
**[24:22] Voice**
Then I set about creating the full-sized version.
**[24:24] Voice**
I molded the torso out of urethane foam.
**[24:27] Voice**
For the head, I sculpted a clay prototype,
made a silicone mold, and cast the head in FRP.
**[24:31] Voice**
Then I corrected artifacts in the FRP surface
and polished it with putty and sandpaper,
**[24:36] Voice**
after which it was ready for painting.
**[24:38] Voice**
The key here was to use an off-the-shelf
spray paint and not worry about the exact shade.
***SIGN*** Remind 10

**[24:42] Mikuru**
I didn't understand any of that!

Running a shop isn't child's play.
**[00:43] Esuka**
Adults think hard and then use
originality and ingenuity to make it work.
**[01:16] Shin**
I don't believe it...
**[01:19] Shin**
It can't be!
**[01:21] Shin**
It can't be!
**[01:22] Shin**
It can't be! It can't be! It can't!
**[01:24] Shin**
It can't!
**[01:29] Mikuru**
Shinemon!
**[01:31] Tatsuya**
Shinemon!
**[01:37] Esuka**
That was our deal. Now, leave my Capital.
**[02:00] Shin**
See you, Sub Manager.
**[02:04] Shin**
Manager...
**[02:07] Shin**
Neither of us is a manager anymore.
**[02:13] Shin**
Take care.
**[02:23] Shin**
The strength of imagination!
**[02:26] Shin**
That's the strength of Vanguard!
**[02:31] Shin**
Don't get dominated by
your opponent's imagination!
**[02:34] Shin**
Rewrite that imagination!
***SIGN*** Remind 10 End of Shinemon
**[04:34] Shin**
I-It's okay. I'm still alive.
**[04:45] Shin**
I just have to apologize to Misaki.
***SIGN*** Misaki Tokura
**[05:00] Esuka**
You don't have to worry anymore.
**[05:04] Esuka**
I got rid of that nasty regular customer
who barricaded himself inside of Capital.
**[05:09] Misaki**
Uncle Shin?
**[05:12] Esuka**
Sorry, but I am, in fact,
referring to your uncle.
**[05:16] Shin**
Esuka and Misaki know each other?
**[05:20] Esuka**
Now I'll be able to keep
my promise to your father.
**[05:24] Shin**
*Her* promise?
**[05:26] Esuka**
It won't be called Capital anymore,
**[05:28] Esuka**
but I'll take the responsibility
of turning it into a wonderful shop.
**[05:34] Misaki**
Please do.
**[05:53] Shin**
A promise she made to the manager?
What the heck's that about?!
**[06:07] Tatsuya**
Mark!
**[06:10] Tatsuya**
Apparently Shinemon never went home.
**[06:13] Mark**
Really?
**[06:15] Tatsuya**
Has Rive seen him?
**[06:19] Rive**
I see. After losing to Esuka,
he was barred from Capital.
**[06:23] Mark**
What do you think we should do?
**[06:28] Rive**
He's the one who needs to decide what to do.
**[06:33] Rive**
I have to get to work. See you, Mark.
**[06:59] Shin**
For Esuka and Misaki
to have been acquainted...
**[07:03] Shin**
If I'd just notice it,
everything would make sense!
**[07:08] Mikuru**
Shinemon...
**[07:11] Mikuru**
In her office, there's a photo of her
with the manager and his family.
**[07:17] Shin**
What?!
**[07:19] Shin**
Esuka said it, herself...
**[07:22] Esuka**
I aspire to be like him.
**[07:26] Shin**
So it wouldn't be surprising at all
for her to make a promise to the manager.
**[07:32] Esuka**
It won't be called Capital anymore,
**[07:35] Esuka**
but I'll take the responsibility
of turning it into a wonderful shop.
**[07:40] Misaki**
Please do.
**[07:42] Shin**
From Misaki's point of view,
**[07:45] Shin**
everything I've done up to now
has probably been a nuisance to her.
**[07:49] Shin**
Misaki must also think that it's better
for Esuka to take charge of Capital.
**[07:56] Shin**
I promise I'll take care of her
just like a big brother would,
**[08:01] Shin**
so that Misaki can always be smiling!
**[08:10] Tatsuya**
Shinemon!
**[08:12] Mark**
Shinemon...
**[08:14] Nanami**
Hey.
**[08:25] Nanami**
You're giving up?
**[08:30] Nanami**
Didn't you tell me...
**[08:32] Shin**
You don't know when to give up, either!
**[08:36] Nanami**
Isn't that the same with you?
**[08:45] Nanami**
Y-You've only lost against
Ms. Esuka once, remember?
**[08:49] Nanami**
Instead of wallowing in self-pity,
think about what you can do now!
**[08:55] Shin**
What I can do now...
**[09:02] Shin**
I haven't apologized to her yet!
**[09:14] Nanami**
A hospital?
**[09:16] Mark**
Someone dear to Shinemon is a patient here.
**[09:21] Nanami**
Who's dear to him?!
**[09:23] Mark**
His niece.
**[09:25] Nanami**
Oh, his *niece*...
**[09:37] Mark**
His niece's parents were
the owners of Card Capital.
**[09:42] Nanami**
"Were"?
**[09:44] Mark**
About a month ago,
they were killed in a car accident.
**[09:54] Tatsuya**
I see. So Shinemon was protecting
Capital for his niece's sake.
**[10:01] Mark**
Mm-hm.
**[10:14] Misaki**
Uncle Shin...
**[10:17] Shin**
L-Like I've always said,
stop calling me "Uncle Shin."
**[10:22] Shin**
At least call me...
**[10:24] Misaki**
Shin.
**[10:26] Shin**
Yeah...
**[10:36] Misaki**
Don't you have something to tell me?
**[11:10] Misaki**
Now you can just focus on school, Shin.
**[11:17] Misaki**
I'll be fine.
**[11:19] Misaki**
No matter how much Capital changes,
**[11:21] Misaki**
I'll always be able to remember
how much my parents loved that shop.
**[11:28] Shin**
You'll always be able to...?
**[11:30] Misaki**
While in the car, right after the accident...
**[11:35] Misaki**
I remembered everything, from when I was born
up to the present, over and over and over again.
***SIGN*** Entrance Ceremony
**[11:43] Misaki**
That's when I realized... I could recall
all of my experiences with perfect clarity,
**[11:49] Misaki**
as if they were happening before my eyes.
**[11:55] Nanami**
That's what's called eidetic memory.
**[11:59] Nanami**
Or photographic memory.
**[12:02] Nanami**
The ability to recollect everything
you've seen, as if from a film library.
**[12:06] Nanami**
Compared to an average person, the amount
of info you can remember is extraordinary.
**[12:10] Nanami**
And you can recall it at will.
**[12:15] Tatsuya**
But doesn't that mean you can't even
forget things you wish you could?!
**[12:20] Shin**
Things you wish you could forget...
**[12:33] Shin**
Wh-Why didn't you tell me--
**[12:35] Nanami**
Because she didn't want you to worry, obviously.
**[12:39] Nanami**
Right?
**[12:45] Misaki**
I meant to tell you, but the doctors said
it's not a disease, so nothing to worry about.
**[12:52] Shin**
What is this?!
**[12:53] Shin**
Here I gave up on everything, tucking my tail
between my legs, and tried to run away...
**[12:58] Shin**
While you have no escape from your own fate...
**[13:08] Shin**
I'm sorry, Misaki!
**[13:09] Shin**
I won't run away!
**[13:12] Nanami**
Hey, wait!
**[13:24] Nanami**
So what'll you do?
**[13:25] Shin**
I'm here to see Esuka.
**[13:27] Mark**
Oh! A direct appeal?
**[13:29] Shin**
Yeah. I'm gonna ask her for one more chance.
**[13:32] Tatsuya**
That's a great idea!
**[13:34] Tatsuya**
I'm sure if you get down
on your hands and knees...
**[13:38] Tonori**
Yo, what's up?
**[13:42] Nanami**
Let's go!
**[13:43] Mark**
Verily, roger that!
**[13:47] Tonori**
Ignorin' me, huh?
**[13:50] Esuka**
Visitors?
**[13:54] Esuka**
I see. Send them in.
**[14:13] Butler**
Welcome.
**[14:16] Butler**
Oh. You two are with them?
**[14:18] Nanami**
Y-Yeah.
**[14:20] Tonori**
Just along for the ride, yo.
**[14:23] Butler**
Right this way.
**[14:38] Shin**
Mikuru!
**[14:40] Shin**
What are you doing here?!
**[14:43] Esuka**
I'll answer that.
**[14:47] Esuka**
She's finally realized her potential.
**[14:50] Esuka**
Right, Mikurun?
**[14:52] Shin**
Mikurun?!
**[14:54] Esuka**
It seems that Mikurun is ready to be an idol.
**[14:57] Shin**
An idol?!
**[15:00] Mikuru**
Esuka asked me if I'd agree to become an idol.
**[15:06] Esuka**
And she told me she would, *if* I let you
have a rematch, with Capital on the line.
**[15:16] Shin**
Don't tell me...
**[15:17] Esuka**
Exactly.
**[15:20] Esuka**
For your sake, Mikuru has agreed to do
what she had turned down before.
**[15:26] Shin**
What you turned down before?
**[15:32] Shin**
Don't!
**[15:34] Shin**
I can't let you do something
you don't want to, just for my sake!
**[15:40] Mikuru**
Something I don't want to?!
**[15:42] Mikuru**
And who are you to decide that?!
**[15:44] Shin**
Then you *do* wanna do it?
**[15:48] Mikuru**
I never said that, you Assuming Cinnamon!
**[15:56] Esuka**
You're always like this.
**[15:59] Esuka**
For instance, when you fought Nanami earlier...
**[16:05] Nanami**
Then if you do lose, you'll surrender
that Capital or whatever to Ms. Esuka?
**[16:11] Shin**
And if I win...
**[16:13] Shin**
...you're gonna apologize to Mark!
**[16:16] Esuka**
At the time, couldn't you have demanded
that I give up on Capital if you won?
**[16:23] Shin**
Oh, you're right!
**[16:25] Esuka**
You always put other people before yourself.
**[16:30] Esuka**
I admit I find your childish kindness charming.
**[16:36] Esuka**
Still, if you don't mind
an adult pointing this out,
**[16:40] Esuka**
it's as if you're only able to consider
the current situation at any particular moment.
**[16:44] Esuka**
I assume you came here to demand another chance.
**[16:51] Esuka**
But I *absolutely refuse* to give you one.
**[16:57] Esuka**
Don't grovel in my office.
**[17:01] Esuka**
You fought me with that
shop on the line, and lost.
**[17:07] Esuka**
That's why the shop is mine now.
**[17:11] Esuka**
Did you really assume that
begging would get you anywhere?
**[17:19] Esuka**
That's not the way the world works.
**[17:22] Esuka**
As an adult, I have a responsibility
to teach you that, child.
**[17:34] Esuka**
Leave the rest to me.
**[17:37] Esuka**
It's better for the shop this way.
**[17:39] Esuka**
You have my word on that.
**[17:57] Esuka**
Just tell me one thing.
**[18:02] Esuka**
Why were you trying to protect Capital?
**[18:24] Esuka**
What was that about?
**[18:27] Misaki**
I'll leave the rest to you.
**[18:30] Misaki**
I can't let Uncle Shin keep
doing all that for my sake forever.
**[18:56] Misaki**
I can't let Uncle Shin keep
doing all that for my sake forever...
**[19:02] Butler**
Ms. Esuka?
**[19:04] Esuka**
Begin.
**[19:05] Butler**
Very well.
**[19:11] Regular A**
Seriously?
**[19:57] Regular A**
After Nitta said he was gonna be the manager...
**[20:00] Regular B**
If you think about it, he's probably
studying to get into college.
**[20:03] Regular A**
Guess it's too much to ask for.
**[20:07] Chairman**
What a shame.
**[20:09] Chairman**
Our festival was so lively,
thanks to that young manager.
**[20:14] Mother**
Is the manager here?
**[20:19] Child**
This is for him!
**[20:26] Esuka**
The manager made that for you?
**[20:29] Child**
Yeah!
**[20:31] Esuka**
I see.
**[20:38] Esuka**
Honestly, you're so infuriating!
**[20:42] Esuka**
You need to remake your image of yourself!
**[20:46] Esuak**
Imagine becoming an excellent shop manager,
and not for other people's sake, but *your own*!
**[20:56] Esuka**
I'll give you just one more chance.
**[20:58] Esuka**
Win the upcoming S Cup!
**[21:02] Tonori**
The S Cup?!
**[21:04] Mikuru**
What's that?
**[21:05] Tatsuya**
It's the shop tournament at Esuka headquarters.
**[21:08] Tatsuya**
If I remember right, the winner...
**[21:10] Nanami**
...gets to fight Ms. Esuka.
**[21:12] Mark**
What?!
**[21:14] Esuka**
You still don't get it?!
**[21:15] Esuka**
I'm saying you have a shot
at a rematch with Capital on the line!
**[21:22] Shin**
E-Esuka...
**[21:23] Esuka**
Since I'm your elder,
that should be "Ms. Esuka"!
**[21:28] Shin**
Thank you!
**[21:30] Shin**
Thank you!
**[21:32] Esuka**
G-Get off of me!
**[21:33] Esuka**
This childishness is what
I hate the most about you!
**[21:37] Esuka**
Just grow up, already!
**[21:40] Shin**
Thank you so much, Esuka!
**[21:43] Esuka**
You forgot the "Ms." again!
**[21:45] Esuka**
I'll make one thing clear:
you're *not* allowed inside Capital.
**[21:52] Esuka**
A c-cat!
**[21:54] Shin**
So that's where you were, Sub Manager!
**[21:56] Shin**
Go on, you thank Esuka, too.
**[22:03] Esuka**
G... G...
**[22:06] Esuka**
Get away from me!
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Shinemon's card,
Prometheus of Dancing Lights!
***SIGN*** Prometheus of Dancing Lights
**[23:54] Narrator**
When it appears, you look at the top two cards
of your deck and put one in the Soul!
**[23:59] Narrator**
If your opponent is grade 3 or higher,
**[24:02] Narrator**
both this unit and your Vanguard
gain 5000 power when it attacks!
**[24:06] Narrator**
It's a partner you can really count on
to support you as the situation demands!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Shinemon**
Tatsuya, can I ask something?
**[24:17] Tatsuya**
What is it, Shinemon?
**[24:18] Shinemon**
Who's this "Maeda-sensei"?
**[24:20] Tatsuya**
Y-You're only asking that now?!
**[24:21] Shinemon**
Well, it'd been bugging me for a while,
but then it slipped my mind.
**[24:24] Tatsuya**
"Slipped your mind"?!
**[24:25] Shinemon**
Why are you so angry?
**[24:26] Tatsuya**
Maeda-sensei does the
"30-second card intro segment"!
**[24:30] Tatsuya**
A true Vanguard fighter should know that!
**[24:32] Shinemon**
Tatsuya, your voice sounds
pretty similar to Maeda-sensei's...
**[24:35] Tatsuya**
Wh-Wh-What are you talking about, Shinemon?!
**[24:38] Tatsuya**
Surely my voice isn't
anything like Maeda-sensei's voice!
***SIGN*** Remind 11
Shin, Shin, Shinemon?
**[24:41] Tatsuya**
Much less like Inenaga's!
**[24:42] Shinemon**
Who's this "Inenaga"?!

**[00:01] Mark**
Li'l Valkerion!
**[00:03] Mark**
I can't find Li'l Valkerion anywhere!
**[00:07] Tatsuya**
Never mind that. Listen to this!
**[00:09] Tatsuya**
For the S Cup, there are
three members per team,
**[00:12] Tatsuya**
and they're all tough opponents who have
won at her shops' nationwide qualifiers!
**[00:16] Tatsuya**
So...
**[00:17] Mark**
Wait just a moment!
**[00:20] Mark**
What is that?!
**[00:22] Shin**
Good morning!
**[00:23] Shin**
Please, take my card.
**[00:25] Shin**
Good morning!
**[00:27] Shin**
Please, take my card.
**[00:27] Girl**
Weirdo...
**[00:29] Tatsuya**
Shinemon!
**[00:30] Tatsuya**
What are you doing?!
**[00:32] Shin**
Please, take my card.
**[00:35] Mark**
Oh! I am quilt obliged!
**[00:38] Tatsuya**
You mean, "I am quite obliged," right?
**[00:40] Tatsuya**
That's not the point!
What are you doing, Shinemon?!
**[00:46] Shin**
Check me out!
**[00:47] Shin**
Now *I'm* an adult, too!
**[00:50] Esuka**
Still, if you don't mind
an adult pointing this out,
**[00:54] Esuka**
that's not the way the world works.
**[00:57] Esuka**
As an adult, I have a responsibility
to teach you that, child.
**[01:03] Shin**
Esuka treats me as nothing but a child!
**[01:10] Shin**
But from this day on,
you can call me Mature-emon. No...
**[01:14] Shin**
Make that Adult-emon!
**[01:16] Mark**
Oh, no!
**[01:18] Tatsuya**
While your style has changed...
**[01:20] Mark**
This seems pretty big for a business card.
***SIGN*** Adult Shinemon Nitta Manager of Card Capital
**[01:23] Mark**
Huh?
**[01:26] Mark**
An adult wouldn't make
a business card like this!
**[01:33] Shin**
The strength of imagination!
**[01:36] Shin**
That's the strength of Vanguard!
**[01:41] Shin**
Don't get dominated by
your opponent's imagination!
**[01:44] Shin**
Rewrite that imagination!
***SIGN*** Remind 11 Shin, Shin, Shinemon?
**[03:24] Misaki**
So Shin will be in the S Cup...
**[03:27] Misaki**
But won't his grades suffer because of that?
**[03:30] Mikuru**
Sorry, after all that Capital
has done for me and Bro...
**[03:36] Rive**
Uh oh!
**[03:37] Rive**
I have to get to work!
**[03:43] Esuka**
Rive Shindou!
**[03:46] Esuka**
How long do you intend to be a babysitter?
**[03:49] Rive**
For Shinemon, you mean?
**[03:51] Esuka**
In this year's S Cup, I've created two slots
for teams that are exempt from the qualifier.
**[03:55] Esuka**
One is Simple Cinnamon's team.
**[03:58] Esuka**
And the other...
**[04:00] Rive**
A team to destroy them?
**[04:03] Esuka**
How about it?
**[04:04] Esuka**
Would the fighter once
known as "The Board Grappler"
**[04:08] Esuka**
be willing to use his skills
and bring his disciple to his senses?
**[04:14] Rive**
For an adult, there's no work
more important than babysitting a child.
**[04:25] Shin**
Listen up.
**[04:27] Shin**
We're gonna do intensive
training here every day.
**[04:30] Tatsuya**
Intensive training... for the S Cup?
**[04:33] Shin**
Obviously!
**[04:34] Shin**
The three of us will compete in it!
**[04:37] Shin**
After we win all our matches,
I'll get one more shot at Esuka herself!
**[04:40] Tatsuya**
W-Wait a second.
**[04:42] Tatsuya**
Mark I can see, but why me?
**[04:44] Shin**
Well, we need three people
for an S Cup team, right?
**[04:48] Mark**
Oh! Now that you mention it,
there *are* three of us!
**[04:51] Mark**
What a clay-doll instance!
**[04:52] Tatsuya**
You mean, "coincidence"!
**[04:54] Tatsuya**
But still...
**[04:55] Shin**
Don't worry, Tatsuya!
**[04:58] Shin**
Remember, you're my disciple!
**[05:01] Tatsuya**
But listen to this.
***SIGN*** Weekly Vanguard
**[05:04] Tatsuya**
There used to be a Vanguard fighter
called, "The Board Grappler,"
**[05:08] Tatsuya**
because he fought like a
martial artist, open and aboveboard.
**[05:12] Tatsuya**
This fabled fighter was undefeated in
official matches, breaking record after record,
**[05:17] Tatsuya**
until he just... disappeared.
**[05:18] Tatsuya**
Here he is.
**[05:21] Mark**
Oh! It's Rive!
**[05:23] Shin**
Huh! I didn't know Master was that famous!
***SIGN*** Absolute Perfection Ever Victorious and Unbeatable
**[05:27] Tatsuya**
I came upon this
while poring through back issues.
**[05:31] Tatsuya**
If Rive joined the team,
your victory would be guaranteed!
**[05:35] Shin**
But wouldn't you feel left out, Tatsuya?
**[05:38] Tatsuya**
No, of course I wouldn't!
**[05:41] Rive**
You're wet behind the ears!
**[05:44] Shin**
Master!
**[06:02] Oyama**
What the--?!
**[06:09] Oyama**
Here!
**[06:11] Esuka**
Thank you.
**[06:12] Oyama**
So you're on a journey
in search of strong fighters,
**[06:16] Oyama**
and have finally come to
this neck of the woods, huh?
**[06:19] Oyama**
It's almost too cold to *bear*!
**[06:21] Butler**
Mr. Ryutarou Oyama!
**[06:24] Butler**
Could you possibly show your fighting
**[06:27] Butler**
that "brings a smile to
everyone's face" at the S Cup?
**[06:30] Oyama**
Sounds good. But I've got one condition.
**[06:37] Butler**
Of course. Simply name your--
**[06:38] Oyama**
This thing's awesome!
**[06:40] Oyama**
Would you let me ride it?
**[06:43] Esuka**
*Ride* it?!
**[06:44] Esuka**
No way! Forget it!
**[06:47] Oyama**
Then be sure to let me ride it after the S Cup!
**[06:51] Oyama**
That's our deal!
**[06:55] Esuka**
What's with him?!
**[06:57] Esuka**
It's sweltering hot!
**[06:58] Esuka**
It stinks! And it's hard to move in!
**[07:00] Esuka**
And that man wants to wear this thing for fun?!
**[07:03] Esuka**
What kind of freak is he?!
**[07:06] Butler**
I do sympathize.
**[07:08] Butler**
But why are we scouting in disguise?
**[07:11] Esuka**
I can't let the world know that I'm personally
assembling a team to defeat Shinemon!
**[07:18] Butler**
Indeed.
**[07:20] Esuka**
Drat this thing!
**[07:21] Rive**
Hey, Lemon!
**[07:24] Rive**
You want me on your team?!
**[07:26] Rive**
Ask me that *after* you've beaten me for once!
**[07:29] Shin**
All right, Master.
**[07:31] Shin**
But I'm not the Shinemon you once knew!
**[07:34] Shin**
From this day on... I'm Adult-emon!
**[07:38] Mark**
Oh! You're like an old-timey Japanese papa!
**[07:41] Shin/Rive**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[07:47] Shin**
One more time!
**[07:48] Rive**
Bring it!
**[07:50] Rive**
It's over now!
**[07:55] Mark**
Shinemon, you have 6 damage!
**[07:57] Shin**
Yes, I know!
**[07:59] Shin**
Once more!
**[08:01] Rive**
Lemon, is this how an adult fights?
**[08:05] Shin**
If only I'd drawn Valkerion...
**[08:07] Rive**
Don't you get it yet, Lemon?!
**[08:11] Rive**
At this rate, you'll never beat Esuka!
**[08:14] Shin**
I got an Imaginary Gift!
**[08:18] Tatsuya**
Three gifts on the Vanguard Circle?!
**[08:20] Tatsuya**
But why...?!
**[08:23] Shin**
Uranus's skill activates!
**[08:25] Shin**
I got an Imaginary Gift!
**[08:31] Tatsuya**
A *fifth* one?!
**[08:34] Shin**
Circle Shift!
**[08:36] Shin**
Once Uranus has five Imaginary Gifts,
**[08:39] Shin**
the rear-guard circle behind
the Vanguard becomes the Astral Plane!
**[08:45] Rive**
Grade 3 Gleaming Lord, Uranus can open up
the Astral Plane behind the Vanguard.
**[08:53] Nanami**
What?!
**[08:54] Shin**
It's my turn!
**[08:56] Nanami**
After giving up once before...
**[08:58] Nanami**
Must be nice to be lucky.
**[09:00] Shin**
I never gave up!
**[09:04] Shin**
Know what luck is?
**[09:05] Shin**
It's a gift that only people who don't
give up to the very end can get!
**[09:12] Tatsuya**
Now he's got five Imaginary Gifts!
**[09:15] Shin**
Circle Shift!
**[09:16] Shin**
Astral Plane!
**[09:18] Rive**
The Astral Plane.
**[09:20] Rive**
That's a special space overlaid
onto the planet Cray as a new image.
**[09:25] Rive**
There you can summon elements
scattered across the Milky Way.
**[09:29] Rive**
Those elements come together to form
Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion.
**[09:34] Rive**
That's your winning pattern.
**[09:37] Rive**
Your deck can only win by using Valkerion.
**[09:42] Rive**
Esuka clearly saw that.
**[09:45] Rive**
Valkerion is grade 5 with
70,000 power. It's very strong.
**[09:51] Rive**
But you can't ride it or call it.
**[09:54] Rive**
It can only stand on the Astral Plane.
**[09:57] Rive**
Which means...
**[09:58] Tatsuya**
It's definitely not an easy unit to wield.
**[10:02] Tatsuya**
Fascinating!
**[10:04] Shin**
You're wrong!
**[10:05] Shin**
I just didn't draw a heal trigger, that's all!
**[10:09] Shin**
It's not like *Valkerion* lost!
**[10:12] Rive**
Exactly!
**[10:13] Rive**
Valkerion doesn't lose!
**[10:16] Rive**
*You're* the one who lost!
**[10:18] Rive**
You haven't mastered Valkerion!
**[10:21] Rive**
You're just a kid who longs for strong figures!
**[10:25] Mikuru**
Are you telling him to get rid of Valkerion
because he's an Immature Cinnamon?!
**[10:32] Shin**
I was just unlucky there!
**[10:35] Rive**
I'll tell you about luck!
**[10:37] Rive**
The thing about luck...
**[10:39] Rive**
It's a gift that only people who don't
give up to the very end can get.
**[10:48] Rive**
I have to get to work.
**[11:09] Ruga**
What'd you just say?!
**[11:11] Butler**
All we said was...
**[11:12] Ruga**
You said, "Rive Shindou," didn't you?!
**[11:15] Ruga**
Is he gonna participate?!
**[11:17] Esuka**
Yes. I believe so...
**[11:20] Ruga**
Roger that.
**[11:22] Ruga**
I, Ruga Kaizu... I, who have won
the national tournament twice...
**[11:27] Ruga**
...shall take part in the S Cup!
**[11:30] Ruga**
Rive! I've been waiting for this chance!
**[11:35] Esuka**
This makes two...
**[11:41] Tatsuya**
Valkerion again...
**[11:43] Tatsuya**
Even there, Valkerion.
**[11:45] Tatsuya**
It's true, you've been winning all this time
by using Uranus to call Valkerion.
**[11:51] Shin**
Uranus is the only grade 3 I have in my deck.
**[11:54] Tatsuya**
But the way things stand,
Rive isn't going to join the team.
**[11:59] Tatsuya**
Why not take a chance
and try using another clan?
**[12:03] Shin**
Another clan?
**[12:05] Mark**
Oh! Then I recommend Nubatama!
**[12:11] Mark**
You get to use all kinds of ninja arts
and feel like you're a real ninja yourself!
**[12:16] Mark**
It's fun!
**[12:21] Tatsuya**
Nanami has Neo Nectar.
**[12:23] Tatsuya**
Tonori uses Gold Paladin.
**[12:26] Tatsuya**
And also...
**[12:28] Tatsuya**
There's always my Angel Feather,
or you could even try Esuka's Great Nature,
**[12:33] Tatsuya**
which would level the
playing field between you.
**[12:36] Tatsuya**
Vanguard has over
20 different clans to choose from!
**[12:45] Tatsuya**
So that's a no?
**[12:47] Shin**
Sorry.
**[12:49] Shin**
Yes, my deck relies on Valkerion.
Of course I know that.
**[12:54] Shin**
But still...
**[12:56] Tatsuya**
Why do you like it so much?
**[12:59] Tatsuya**
Did you maybe receive that unit
from someone dear to you, or...?
**[13:04] Shin**
Um... I'm not sure.
**[13:07] Tatsuya**
You mean there *is* no special reason?!
**[13:12] Shin**
When you put it that way...
**[13:15] Tatsuya**
That can't be right!
**[13:17] Tatsuya**
It should be a keepsake from your father,
or something that fell from the heavens...
**[13:21] Tatsuya**
Did the card start talking to you?!
**[13:24] Tatsuya**
There must be *something* special about it!
**[13:30] Shin**
I'm just a kid...
**[13:31] Shin**
I like Valkerion.
**[13:33] Shin**
I like Card Capital.
**[13:35] Shin**
That's all there is to me.
**[13:39] Misaki**
Shin!
**[13:40] Shin**
Misaki...
**[13:42] Misaki**
Shin, that one's so cool!
**[13:45] Shin**
Really?!
**[13:47] Shin**
This one's cool?
**[13:49] Misaki**
Yeah!
**[13:50] Shin**
All right! Then I'll clinch it here!
**[13:53] Father**
Oh? You think it'll work out that well for you?
**[13:56] Shin**
Valkerion!
**[13:59] Shin**
Cool...
**[14:01] Shin**
Isn't it enough that it's cool?
**[14:05] Mark**
Oh! Nothing wrong with that!
**[14:08] Mark**
If you really love it...
**[14:12] Shin**
Sub Manager?
**[14:17] Shin**
Tatsuya! What about this unit?!
**[14:21] Tatsuya**
That's right!
**[14:22] Tatsuya**
You could use this one!
**[14:25] Shin**
Yeah!
**[14:26] Mark/Tatsuya**
Yeah!
**[14:30] Mark**
Well...
**[14:31] Mark**
The S Cup final round is tomorrow.
**[14:33] Mark**
This is your last chance!
**[14:36] Rive**
Okay, then show me your answer, Lemon.
**[14:42] Shin**
Thank you, Master!
**[14:45] Shin/Rive**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[14:51] Rive**
Full Moon Muscle!
**[14:55] Shin**
Pan of New Style!
**[14:59] Rive**
Attack!
**[15:03] Shin**
4 damage...
**[15:05] Mikuru**
Wait, what?
**[15:06] Mikuru**
Shinemon still has Valkerion in his deck?
**[15:10] Tatsuya**
This is Shinemon's answer!
**[15:14] Shin**
Master, it's my turn.
**[15:17] Shin**
Stand and draw!
**[15:18] Shin**
I ride!
**[15:24] Rive**
You're riding grade 3 Uranus, again?
**[15:28] Rive**
Nothing's changed!
**[15:29] Shin**
That roar...
**[15:31] Shin**
The call of the stars...
**[15:33] Shin**
Shaking the furthest reaches of the Milky Way
and tearing through the firmament,
**[15:37] Shin**
it summons elements from far and wide!
**[15:39] Shin**
Its name is...
**[15:46] Shin**
Quaking Heavenly Dragon, Astraios Dragon!
**[15:51] Shin**
Imaginary Gift!
**[15:53] Shin**
Force I!
**[15:55] Rive**
Astraios Dragon?
**[15:57] Rive**
Not Uranus?
**[15:59] Shin**
I can become *anything*,
as long as I have the imagination!
**[16:03] Shin**
That's the point of Vanguard!
**[16:05] Shin**
I call three Atlas of Heavenly Sphere units!
**[16:08] Shin**
Its skill activates!
**[16:10] Shin**
I got an Imaginary Gift!
**[16:13] Shin**
Astraios Dragon's skill activates!
**[16:16] Shin**
I got an Imaginary Gift!
**[16:20] Tatsuya**
Five Imaginary Gifts, in no time at all!
**[16:24] Mikuru**
What happens next?
**[16:26] Mark**
Astraios Dragon has the same skill as Uranus.
**[16:30] Shin**
That's right. Once Astraios Dragon
possesses five Imaginary Gift, Force cards...
**[16:38] Shin**
Circle Shift!
**[16:39] Shin**
Astral Plane!
**[16:44] Shin**
O great planetary guardian deity!
**[16:48] Shin**
Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
**[16:58] Mikuru**
So Uranus isn't the only unit
that can summon Valkerion!
**[17:02] Shin**
I have both Uranus and
Astraios Dragon in my deck!
**[17:06] Shin**
That alone doubles my chances
of being able to summon Valkerion!
**[17:11] Shin**
That's my answer, Master! I'm a kid!
**[17:14] Shin**
I love cool things!
**[17:16] Shin**
I love Valkerion!
**[17:18] Shin**
As a kid, I can't give that up!
**[17:22] Shin**
Astraios Dragon attacks your Vanguard!
**[17:28] Rive**
No guard!
**[17:30] Shin**
Twin drive!
**[17:31] Shin**
First check!
**[17:33] Shin**
Second check!
**[17:35] Shin**
Critical trigger!
**[17:36] Shin**
I give the power to Prometheus
and the extra critical to Astraios Dragon!
**[17:44] Rive**
Damage check!
**[17:48] Tatsuya**
All right! No trigger!
**[17:50] Mikuru**
One more damage point and Shinemon wins!
**[17:54] Shin**
Prometheus of Dancing Lights
attacks your Vanguard!
**[17:58] Shin**
Skill activates! It gains +5000 power!
**[18:03] Rive**
Clay-doll Mechanic! Fusing Striker!
**[18:08] Tatsuya**
He blocked it!
**[18:10] Shin**
I'll win it with this!
**[18:11] Shin**
Valkerion! Zodiac Blazer!
**[18:16] Rive**
It's time, Twin Blader!
**[18:25] Shin**
A perfect guard...
**[18:27] Mark**
No! You just had 1 damage to go...
**[18:30] Tatsuya**
But you still have a unit that can attack!
**[18:33] Shin**
Oh, right!
**[18:34] Shin**
My other Prometheus attacks your Vanguard!
**[18:38] Shin**
Prometheus gains power with its skill!
**[18:57] Striker**
Be careful, my Vanguard.
**[19:01] Silver Fist**
Fortune favor you.
**[19:04] Shin**
My turn's over.
**[19:06] Rive**
End of the line, Valkerion.
**[19:15] Tatsuya**
Once the turn is over,
Valkerion has to return to the deck!
**[19:25] Mark**
Your best chance got away!
**[19:28] Tatsuya**
No, it's still up in the air.
**[19:31] Tatsuya**
If you survive this, it's possible for you
to call Valkerion back in the next turn!
**[19:37] Mikuru**
So Shinemon hasn't lost yet!
**[19:40] Shin**
This is the day I beat you...
**[19:42] Shin**
...Master!
**[19:46] Rive**
Bravo... Shinemon.
**[19:50] Shin**
D-Did you just call me Shinemon?!
**[19:54] Shin**
Master!
**[19:55] Rive**
Whoops! I have to get to work!
**[19:57] Rive**
The match ends here.
**[20:01] Shin**
How could you?!
**[20:03] Shin**
Master! Hey, Master!
**[20:06] Rive**
See you at Esuka's main shop tomorrow.
**[20:08] Rive**
Don't be late.
**[20:09] Mikuru**
Wait up!
**[20:11] Mark**
What does that mean?
**[20:13] Tatsuya**
It means he'll join the team!
**[20:17] Shin**
Master's joining us?!
**[20:25] Rive**
It was a good match.
**[20:28] Rive**
Depending on my next turn, I may have lost.
**[20:32] Mikuru**
Really?
**[20:33] Rive**
Yeah.
**[20:35] Rive**
If he imagines it, he can become
Uranus or Astraios Dragon, eh?
**[20:42] Mikuru**
What does that mean?
**[20:43] Rive**
I made a mistake.
**[20:46] Rive**
Shinemon is a child.
**[20:48] Rive**
His possibilities are limitless.
**[20:50] Rive**
He could even end up
becoming as strong as Valkerion.
**[20:55] Rive**
As long as he doesn't forget to imagine it.
**[21:06] Esuka**
So, please!
**[21:07] Butler**
Please join our special team.
**[21:10] Butler**
Is that not an honor, Yuichirou Kanzaki?
**[21:19] Esuka**
H-He's crying?!
**[21:21] Kanzaki**
I, Yuichirou Kanzaki...
**[21:24] Kanzaki**
Winner of the World Vanguard High School
Championship for three years straight!
**[21:29] Kanzaki**
I, Yuichirou Kanzaki...
**[21:31] Kanzaki**
I, who have been scouted
by innumerable pro teams...
**[21:34] Kanzaki**
Why?!
**[21:35] Esuka**
It's nothing to cry about.
**[21:37] Kanzaki**
How dare you?!
**[21:39] Kanzaki**
You sell me short!
**[21:41] Kanzaki**
It makes me so sad
that my eyes overflow with tears!
**[21:45] Butler**
It appears this was a waste of a trip.
**[21:48] Esuka**
Let's go.
**[21:49] Kanzaki**
Wait!
**[21:50] Kanzaki**
I never said I wouldn't do it!
**[21:52] Kanzaki**
I always despised that S Class!
**[21:56] Kanzaki**
A gathering of weaklings, having friendly
matches to be number one or number two!
**[22:02] Kanzaki**
That's right!
**[22:03] Kanzaki**
Weakness is a sin!
**[22:05] Kanzaki**
A *sin...!*
**[22:12] Kanzaki**
A sin!
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Shinemon's
Quaking Heavenly Dragon, Astraios Dragon!
***SIGN*** Quaking Heavenly Dragon, Astraios Dragon
**[23:55] Narrator**
Gather five Imaginary Gift, Force cards,
**[23:58] Narrator**
and this new "Astral Poet" trump card
can deploy the Astral Plane!
**[24:02] Narrator**
Use its skill to receive a Force on every turn!
**[24:06] Narrator**
And just like Uranus, it can summon
Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Esuka**
Enough! This thing stinks,
and it's hard to move in!
**[24:18] Esuka**
I'm taking off this Li'l Valkerion suit!
**[24:21] Shin**
Li'l Valkerion?! There you are!
**[24:23] Shin**
Where were you all this time?!
**[24:25] Esuka**
Don't hug me!
**[24:26] Shin**
Wait... Li'l Valkerion, did you just talk?!
**[24:29] Esuka**
Sh-Shoot!
**[24:30] Esuka**
"I'm Valkerion!"
**[24:32] Esuka**
"Hello, Shinemon!"
**[24:34] Shin**
Amazing! When did you start talking?!
**[24:37] Esuka**
"Well, it all started after the
kindhearted Esuka Hibino found me..."

**[00:01] Esuka**
Care to try fighting me?
**[00:04] Esuka**
There will soon be the opportunity
to make that dream a reality.
**[00:08] Esuka**
Card Shop Esuka Group
brings you our big annual event:
***SIGN*** Esu Cup
**[00:14] Esuka**
The Esu Cup!
**[00:16] Esuka**
Six teams that have won
shop qualifiers all across the country,
**[00:19] Esuka**
along with two special seeded teams,
**[00:21] Esuka**
will battle it out in a tournament
for the right to challenge me, Esuka Hibino!
**[00:28] Esuka**
What kind of fighter will I get to face?
**[00:32] Esuka**
I can't wait to find out!
**[00:34] Tonori**
Tomorrow's the big day.
**[00:38] Tonori**
Not that I'd expect you to, but you'd
better not throw the championship, yo.
**[00:45] Nanami**
Of course I wouldn't do that.
**[00:47] Nanami**
But still, if we win this, then he won't...
**[00:53] Esuka**
See you at the Esuka main shop!
**[00:57] Nanami**
Walk with me, Tonori.
**[01:06] Tonori**
It ain't our business whether
this place ends up as Esuka or Capital, yo.
**[01:11] Tonori**
A card shop's a card shop.
**[01:14] Nanami**
True.
**[01:16] Shin**
You will come, won't you?
***SIGN*** Manager
**[01:18] Shin**
*Two* Masters?!
**[01:22] Nanami**
Who're you calling "Master"?!
**[01:24] Nanami**
But still...
**[01:26] Shin**
Huh? Nanami?
**[01:28] Mark**
Accompanied by Lord Tonori?
**[01:32] Shin**
What are you doing here?
**[01:34] Nanami**
I-I just happened to be walking by!
**[01:37] Tonori**
You're transparent, yo.
**[01:43] Nanami**
And what about *you*?
**[01:45] Nanami**
Here to bid farewell to this place?
**[01:49] Nanami**
I'm sure you intend to get
the shop back by fighting Ms. Esuka,
**[01:53] Nanami**
but too bad!
**[01:54] Nanami**
The one to fight Ms. Esuka...
**[01:56] Nanami**
...will be *me*!
**[01:59] Nanami**
You have a zero percent chance of
taking your shop back, Shinemon Nitta!
**[02:03] Tonori**
This that sweet-'n'-sour thing?
**[02:11] Shin**
It's a good point. Everyone will fight hard.
**[02:14] Shin**
I doubt reaching the point
where I can fight Esuka will be easy.
**[02:17] Shin**
That's exactly why I'm here.
**[02:21] Shin**
In order to imagine getting Capital back!
**[02:26] Shin**
And that's why our team name is Team Capital!
**[02:32] Tonori**
So Team Capital's you three, yo?
**[02:39] Tatsuya**
N-No, I'm...
**[02:41] Mark**
It's me, Shinemon, and Rive.
**[02:48] Tonori**
Wanna join our team, then?
**[02:51] Tatsuya**
M-Me?!
**[02:54] Tonori**
Actually, just the two of us
made it through the qualifier.
**[02:58] Tonori**
We ain't got a third member, yo.
**[03:01] Tonori**
So I don't mind you joinin' us.
**[03:03] Tonori**
It's like my way of atonin'
for intimidatin' you before, yo.
**[03:07] Tatsuya**
B-But I...
**[03:08] Shin**
Why not?!
**[03:10] Shin**
You'll get to fight strong opponents
from all across the country!
**[03:13] Shin**
It'd be awesome training!
**[03:18] Tatsuya**
Understood! I'll do my best!
**[03:22] Shin**
Let's fight fair and square tomorrow.
**[03:26] Nanami**
You'd better put up a decent fight.
**[03:31] Shin**
Right!
***SIGN*** Remind 12 Team Dragon's Vanity!!
**[05:10] Shin**
Take good care of it.
**[05:12] Mikuru**
Gotcha.
**[05:14] Shin**
Anyway, what's taking Mark so long?
**[05:16] Shin**
It's way past the time we were going to meet.
**[05:19] Mikuru**
Maybe your habitual lateness
rubbed off on him, Dumbro!
**[05:22] Rive**
I was on time today!
**[05:26] Mark**
Sorry to keep you waiting!
**[05:28] Shin**
You're late! What were you doing?!
**[05:30] Mark**
I was preparing Team Capital's attire!
**[05:35] Shin**
Attire?
**[05:36] Mark**
For an event of this magnitude,
**[05:37] Mark**
wouldn't you say, "the clothes hit the fan"?
**[05:41] Rive**
That's "the clothes make the man"!
**[05:43] Mark**
So I've got uniforms for the three of us!
**[05:47] Shin**
All right! Let's do this!
**[05:49] All**
Yeah!
**[05:53] Butler**
Team Capital has arrived.
**[05:57] Esuka**
Oh?
**[06:04] Esuka**
I'm going to take a shower.
**[06:08] Mark**
So let's get changed!
**[06:10] Mark**
I, of course...
**[06:12] Mark**
...shal wear this, verily!
**[06:14] Rive**
Oh, come on...
**[06:18] Mark**
I looked at old photos for inspiration.
**[06:21] Rive**
Nice one!
**[06:22] Shin**
This isn't nice at all!
**[06:25] Shin**
You just used my Halloween costume!
**[06:29] Mark**
Verily, that outfit screams *you*, Shinemon.
**[06:31] Mikuru**
It suits you even better,
Moron Magistrate Cinnamon!
**[06:36] Shin**
*This* much, I can tolerate.
**[06:38] Rive**
You're no fun.
**[06:42] Butler**
Once you are ready, fighters,
please proceed to the arena.
**[06:46] Mark**
One moment, please!
**[06:49] Mark**
Would you honor us by taking a photo
before we head off to battle?
**[06:52] Mikuru**
Sure!
**[06:54] Mikuru**
Say "cheese!"
**[06:58] Mikuru**
Be sure to win!
**[07:00] Shin**
Of course.
**[07:02] Shin**
I wouldn't blow the chance Esuka gave me.
**[07:11] Rive**
Is Esuka in the arena?
**[07:14] Butler**
No, she's still in her quarters.
**[07:17] Rive**
Oh.
**[07:19] Shin**
All of these people...
**[07:21] Shin**
...have their game faces on!
**[07:23] Mark**
Verily, they are like feudal warlords.
**[07:26] Shin**
Well, not quite all of them...
**[07:29] Shin**
Buck up, Tatsuya!
**[07:31] Shin**
You're not being ushered to your execution!
**[07:34] Tatsuya**
I know, but...
**[07:38] Nanami**
I looked at the tournament chart earlier.
**[07:40] Nanami**
Assuming we both keep winning,
we'll see you in the finals.
**[07:43] Shin**
Yeah. That's a welcome development.
**[07:46] Shin**
Right, Master?
**[07:48] Shin**
Huh? Where's Master?
**[07:50] Mark**
He was here but a moment ago.
**[07:57] Shin**
That's... not Master, is it?
**[08:00] Nanami**
Wouldn't they be the other special seeded team?
**[08:03] Nanami**
"Team Dragon's Vanity," or such.
**[08:07] Mark**
Why do they mask their faces?
**[08:10] Tonori**
*You're* one to talk, yo.
**[08:15] Miya**
All right! And now, theeee--
**[08:18] Miya**
P-Pardon me for that...
**[08:21] Miya**
And now, the Esu Cup begins!
**[08:25] Miya**
The fighters enter the arena!
**[08:30] Mikuru**
Good luck, Shinemon! Mark! Bro!
**[08:36] Mikuru**
Where's my dumb brother?
**[08:39] Miya**
First, a few words from the sponsor
of this tournament, Esuka Hibino.
**[08:50] Esuka**
The most important thing about Vanguard...
**[08:53] Esuka**
...is the power of imagination!
**[08:56] Esuka**
So imagine yourself... winning!
**[09:00] Esuka**
Rewrite your image of the past...
**[09:03] Esuka**
...and imagine your future self as it should be!
**[09:06] Esuka**
That is all!
**[09:11] Miya**
Thank you!
**[09:13] Miya**
And now, on to the matches!
**[09:16] Miya**
In this tournament, aside from the finals,
all of the team members fight simultaneously.
**[09:23] Miya**
The first match:
***SIGN*** Match 1 Team Capital vs Team Dontaku
**[09:25] Miya**
Team Capital versus Team Dontaku!
**[09:28] Shin**
We're up first?
**[09:30] Mark**
What should we do?
**[09:32] Shin**
The two of us have no choice but to wing it!
**[09:34] Shin**
If we both win, we'll move on!
**[09:37] Mark**
Verily, roger that!
**[09:39] Miya**
Incidentally, I'm the president of the
Harumi High School Broadcasting Club,
**[09:44] Miya**
and my dream is to give the play-by-play
at an international Vanguard tournament.
**[09:49] Miya**
The name is MC Miya!
**[09:50] Miya**
And this is my first step forward!
**[09:53] Mya**
With me to provide commentary is
the man known as "The Board Grappler"!
**[10:00] Rive**
Hello. I'm your commentator, Rive Shindou.
**[10:03] Shin**
What are you doing, Master?!
**[10:05] Rive**
Like I said! Commentary!
**[10:07] Mark**
Oh no!
**[10:10] Shin**
Who gives commentary on their own team?!
**[10:14] Rive**
Me, of course!
**[10:25] Esuka**
Should you be here? It's about to start.
**[10:30] Rive**
Without you, the sponsor...
**[10:33] Rive**
...the matches can't start.
**[10:37] Esuka**
What do you want?
**[10:39] Rive**
Could you use a commentator?
**[10:43] Rive**
I'd deliver amazing color commentary.
**[10:47] Esuka**
What about the match?
**[10:49] Rive**
If he just relies on me,
there's no way he can beat you.
**[10:55] Rive**
He's a Naive-emon.
**[11:01] Esuka**
It's tough being a babysitter, huh?
**[11:07] Shin**
Fine!
**[11:09] Shin**
The two of us alone will win!
**[11:12] Miya**
Then let the fights begin!
**[11:16] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[11:32] Miya**
The third match is nearing its end!
**[11:37] Miya**
The favorite is Team TNT,
representing the Esuka main shop.
**[11:42] Miya**
They've dominated all of their matches so far.
**[11:53] Opponent A**
No trigger!
**[11:56] Miya**
Nanami Gonomi wins!
**[11:59] Nanami**
Nice try.
**[12:01] Tonori**
Now I'll go, too!
**[12:04] Tonori**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[12:13] Opponent B**
No trigger!
***SIGN*** Team TNT vs Team Nebuta
**[12:19] Miya**
Tonori Fujinami also makes a clean sweep.
**[12:21] Miya**
Two wins for Team TNT!
**[12:24] Miya**
Even without the outcome of Tachibana's fight,
**[12:26] Miya**
they've clinched a place in the semifinals!
**[12:29] Rive**
They were fired up since before the match began.
**[12:33] Rive**
I hope the *other* teams
learn from their example.
**[12:36] Shin**
It's not like I wasn't fired up!
**[12:39] Mark**
Now, now... as they say, winning is something.
**[12:41] Shin**
*Every*thing!
**[12:44] Tatsuya**
I ride!
**[12:46] Tatsuya**
Cosmo Healer, Ergodiel!
**[12:49] Opponent C**
Aww, man! We lost!
**[12:52] Opponent C**
Darn it! You guys beat us!
**[12:56] Tonori**
He's right about that, yo.
**[13:00] Tatsuya**
Thank goodness...
**[13:05] Shin**
Tatsuya!
**[13:06] Mikuru**
Tatsuya?!
**[13:08] Mark**
The sudden relief from nervousness did him in.
**[13:12] Shin**
He'd better rest up somewhere.
**[13:15] Butler**
I'll show you to the infirmary.
**[13:18] Shin**
Please do!
**[13:19] Tonori**
U-Um... We'll come too, yo.
**[13:24] Shin**
Leave this to us.
**[13:26] Shin**
You'd better watch the next match.
**[13:28] Shin**
You're fighting whoever wins, right?
**[13:34] Nanami**
Okay.
***SIGN*** Infirmary
**[13:43] Tatsuya**
Shinemon...
**[13:48] Tatsuya**
What am I doing here?!
**[13:50] Mark**
Verily, you fainted in the midst of a fight.
**[13:54] Tatsuya**
What have I done?!
**[13:56] Shin**
Don't worry. Your team won.
**[13:59] Mark**
Verily, do your best in the next!
**[14:01] Tatsuya**
Okay...
**[14:05] Mark**
The fourth match is over?
**[14:07] Shin**
Wasn't that a little too quick?
**[14:10] Rive**
Sorry, there was a long line for the restroom.
**[14:19] Rive**
It's over already?
**[14:21] Miya**
Y-Yes...
**[14:23] Miya**
Dosanko, the team from Hokkaido,
has been mercilessly defeated.
**[14:31] Miya**
The special seeded Team Dragon's Vanity...
**[14:35] Miya**
...is going on to the semifinals!
**[14:38] Miya**
They're strong! *Too* strong!
***SIGN*** Team TNT Waiting Room
**[14:41] Tonori**
You okay, Tatsuya?
**[14:44] Tatsuya**
I'm sorry I made you worry...
**[14:47] Shin**
So how did Team Dragon's Vanity do?
**[14:51] Nanami**
They may give us some trouble.
**[14:54] Nanami**
But...
**[14:55] Nanami**
...we're still gonna win!
**[14:57] Nanami**
And then, in the final...
**[15:01] Nanami**
...I'll beat you, Shinemon Nitta...
**[15:03] Nanami**
...and win the tournament!
**[15:05] Nanami**
I imagined it!
**[15:08] Nanami**
I *will* fight Ms. Esuka and defeat her!
***SIGN*** Team Capital vs Team Danjiri
**[15:14] Miya**
Now for the first match of the semifinals!
Here comes Team Capital!
**[15:19] Rive**
What's this?! Just those two again?
**[15:22] Rive**
They can't afford to lose a single fight!
Man, what risk-takers they are!
**[15:28] Shin**
It's because you're *there*, Master!
**[15:31] Shin**
Don't talk like it's not your doing!
**[15:33] Mark**
Verily, in the end, we're still on our own!
**[15:36] Rive**
Well, this time, I hope that *special*
seeded team shows us what they've got!
**[15:44] Miya**
Well, like in the first round,
this was a close one.
***SIGN*** Team Capital vs Team Danjiri
**[15:47] Miya**
Shinemon Nitta has won by a hair!
***SIGN*** Team Capital
**[15:51] Miya**
And with that,
Team Capital advances to the finals!
**[15:51] Shin**
Yes! We did it! Hurray!
**[15:55] Miya**
What's this? Team Dragon's Vanity
has entered the arena early.
**[16:12] Ruga**
For a disciple of Rive Shindou...
**[16:14] Ruga**
...that fight was pathetic.
**[16:20] Shin**
You know Master?!
**[16:23] Ruga**
Well, yes...
**[16:29] Ruga**
My name is Ruga Kaizu!
**[16:32] Tatsuya**
*The* Ruga Kaizu?!
**[16:37] Tatsuya**
He's Master Commander of the Field!
**[16:39] Nanami**
He's tough?
**[16:40] Tatsuya**
Of course!
**[16:41] Tonori**
Anyone who watches tournaments
knows about him, yo.
**[16:48] Audience**
No wonder! It's Ruga!
**[16:50] Audience**
Master Commander!
**[16:51] Audience**
To think I'd see him here!
**[16:54] Ruga**
The one moving on to the finals... will be me!
**[16:58] Nanami**
And who are you?
**[17:03] Shin**
Nanami!
**[17:06] Nanami**
You may be "Master Commander" or whatever...
**[17:09] Nanami**
...but my team will be the one
moving on to the finals!
**[17:13] Ruga**
I have no patience for childish prattling.
**[17:16] Nanami**
So why don't you retire already, old man?
**[17:21] Ryutarou**
That's enough, you two.
**[17:25] Ryutarou**
Fights are supposed to be fun.
**[17:30] Miya**
It's the second match of the semifinals,
and only one of them will go on to the finals!
**[17:37] Our Three**
Stand up...
**[17:38] Other Three**
...Vanguard!
**[17:41] Nanami**
Here I come!
**[17:47] Nanami**
I'm not done yet!
**[17:50] Ruga**
Don't get cocky!
**[17:55] Nanami**
Finish him off, Kaivant!
**[17:59] Kaivant**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[18:01] Ruga**
I told you not to get cocky!
**[18:07] Miya**
Somehow Kaizu has pulled through!
**[18:11] Miya**
But he's got 5 damage!
**[18:13] Miya**
Gonomi, on the other hand, has 3 damage!
**[18:16] Nanami**
Next turn, it'll be over!
**[18:18] Ruga**
I'm here to fight Rive Shindou.
**[18:21] Ruga**
You are beneath my notice!
**[18:24] Ruga**
I ride Last Card, Revonn!
**[18:27] Ruga**
Imaginary Gift, Accel 2!

**[18:45] Ryutarou**
...I attack your Vanguard!
**[18:47] Ryutarou**
I bind Battlefield Storm, Sagramore!
**[18:56] Tonori**
I'm... starving...!
**[19:00] Tonori**
I'm not letting you walk all over me!
**[19:04] Tonori**
I guard with Flame of Victory!
**[19:07] Ryutarou**
Oh, so that's your move? Nice one!
**[19:11] Ryutarou**
Vanguard really is fun!
**[19:17] Tonori**
That laugh... Don't tell me you're...
**[19:23] Ryutarou**
My name is Ryutarou Oyama!
**[19:25] Ryutarou**
The man who loves both
Vanguard and the great outdoors!
**[19:29] Audience**
Ryutarou Oyama?!
**[19:31] Audience**
Didn't he go missing?!
***SIGN*** The ABCs of Vanguard
**[19:33] Audience**
Is it really him?!
**[19:34] Miya**
Wow! The second member of Team Dragon's Vanity
**[19:37] Miya**
is the fighter of endless summer, straight from
the snowy mountains: Ryutarou Oyama!
**[19:42] Ryutarou**
Let's have fun to the very end!
**[19:45] Tonori**
Works for me, yo!
**[19:46] Miya**
Now I'm very curious about
the third fighter's identity...
**[19:55] Kanzaki**
Weak...
**[19:57] Kanzaki**
Weak! Weak! Weak!
**[20:01] Kanzaki**
You're too weak!
**[20:06] Miya**
Oh, my! Their third member...
**[20:09] Miya**
...is the champion of the World Vanguard
High School Championship,
**[20:12] Miya**
Yuichirou Kanzaki!
**[20:15] Tatsuya**
*That* Kanzaki?!
**[20:17] Tatsuya**
I don't stand a ghost of a chance!
**[20:20] Miya**
Unbelievably, three legends of the
Vanguard world have come together!
**[20:25] Miya**
To form the fearsome Team Dragon's Vanity!
**[20:29] Kanzaki**
With my Claret Sword Dragon, if I bind
seven grade 1 cards in the Drop Zone,
**[20:36] Kanzaki**
I can attack once more
in exchange for losing a drive!
**[20:41] Kanzaki**
Weakness is a sin!
**[20:45] Kanzaki**
I want you...
**[20:47] Kanzaki**
...out of my sight!
**[20:55] Oyama**
Here I come!
**[20:57] Tonori**
Elixir Sommelier!
**[21:00] Rutarou**
Twin drive!
**[21:03] Ryutarou**
First check!
**[21:06] Ryutarou**
Second check!
**[21:08] Ryutarou**
Critical trigger!
**[21:14] Tonori**
No big surprise...
***SIGN*** Team Dragon's Vanity vs Team TNT
**[21:20] Miya**
Team TNT has two losses!
**[21:22] Miya**
They are officially defeated!
**[21:29] Ruga**
As expected, that wasn't worth my while.
**[21:33] Miya**
Team Dragon's Vanity will face
Team Capital in the finals!
**[21:40] Shin**
I can't believe Nanami lost!
**[21:42] Mark**
They're too tough.
**[21:45] Rive**
Well, they were headhunted to crush us.
**[21:51] Rive**
Of course they'd be strong.
**[21:57] Shin**
She wasn't giving me another chance?!
**[22:01] Rive**
Adults play to win.

The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Voltage Horn Dragon!
***SIGN*** Voltage Horn Dragon
**[23:53] Narrator**
When it attacks, you can bind
your opponent's front row rear-guards,
**[23:57] Narrator**
and drag the back row units to the front row!
**[24:00] Narrator**
On top of that, if you bind a card
during that turn, it gets +5000 power!
**[24:06] Narrator**
Its skills and ease of use will let you
flourish from the opening to the final stage!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card, you too can

Stretching your right arm out in front of you,
turn the palm of your hand counterclockwise!
**[24:24] Shin**
Stand! Stand!

Stand! Stand!
**[24:26] Shin**
Next, thrust that same hand forward! Draw!
**[24:29] Mark**
Draw!
**[24:29] Shin**
And now, from your chest outwards. Call! Call!
**[24:32] Tatsuya**
Call! Call!
**[24:34] Shin**
Turn your right hand clockwise.
**[24:36] Shin**
Attack! Attack!

**[00:01] Esuka**
The Esu Cup finals will begin shortly,
with the right to fight me on the line!
**[00:07] Esuka**
From this point on, there will be
a change in the rules, so listen carefully.
**[00:11] Esuka**
For the finals, the first team to win three
out of five possible matches will be victorious.
**[00:16] Esuka**
This isn't a knockout competition,
**[00:18] Esuka**
so it doesn't matter whether three members
all fight or one member wins three in a row.
**[00:25] Esuka**
Another consideration during the fights is...
**[00:28] Shin**
Just you wait, Esuka. I'm gonna
defeat you and take back Capital!
***SIGN*** Remind 13 Esu Cup Match
**[02:11] Shin**
You get the first match, Mark!
**[02:15] Shin**
You could even win three in a row for us!
**[02:20] Mikuru**
Mark, are you listening?
**[02:22] Mark**
Oh! Sorry...
**[02:24] Mark**
I was spacing out for a moment.
**[02:27] Mikuru**
Do you feel nervous?
**[02:30] Mark**
I'm just fine!
**[02:32] Mark**
I'm on fire, much like how
Nobunaga was at Honnoji Temple!
**[02:36] Mikuru**
That's not the kind of fire we want!
**[02:39] Tonori**
Yo.
**[02:39] Tatsuya**
The finals at last, huh?
**[02:42] Tonori**
We came here to show our support, yo.
**[02:45] Shin**
Are you sure you're not here to eat?
**[02:47] Tatsuya**
He's already cleaned out
all the snacks in our waiting room.
**[02:51] Tonori**
That match was a blast, yo.
**[02:54] Tonori**
So I'm hungrier than usual.
**[02:56] Shin**
A blast?
**[02:58] Mark**
Verily, in what way?
**[03:00] Tonori**
It's weird, yo.
**[03:02] Tonori**
Even though I lost... How do I put it?
**[03:06] Tonori**
It just feels like I had a good time, yo.
**[03:09] Tatsuya**
Fascinating...
**[03:11] Mikuru**
Huh?
**[03:13] Mikuru**
Where's Nanami?
**[03:18] Nanami**
Did Ms. Esuka form Team Dragon's Vanity
in order to defeat Shinemon's team?
**[03:26] Nanami**
If that's the case, what's the point
of us being at Ms. Esuka's side?
**[03:34] Nanami**
Does she...
**[03:36] Nanami**
...not need me anymore?
**[03:42] Oyama**
All right! I'll be back.
**[03:45] Kanzaki**
Weakness is a sin!
**[03:47] Kanzaki**
Failure is unforgivable!
**[03:51] Oyama**
Winning and losing depend on luck.
**[03:54] Oyama**
I can't wait!
**[04:00] Ruga**
Rive Shindou...
**[04:04] MC**
The moment you've all been waiting for!
The first finals match is about to begin!
**[04:09] MC**
From Team Capital, Ninja Master!
**[04:13] MC**
From Team Dragon's Vanity,
**[04:15] MC**
the fighter of endless summer,
straight from the snowy mountains!
**[04:18] MC**
Here he is! Ryutarou Oyama!
**[04:21] Mark**
I am Ninja Master.
**[04:24] Mark**
Verily, I am a ninja.
**[04:26] Oyama**
Oh, a real ninja wears a helmet, huh?
**[04:29] Oyama**
That's great!
**[04:31] Oyama**
I'm Ryutarou Oyama!
Let's have a good match!
**[04:35] MC**
Start the fight!
**[04:38] Oyama/Mark**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[04:47] MC**
What?!
**[04:48] Rive**
It's a bear!
**[04:49] Tatsuya**
What's a bear doing out there?!
**[04:51] Shin**
It's not just a bear!
**[04:56] MC**
Everyone, please evacuate immediately!
**[04:59] Oyama**
The man says to evacuate.
**[05:02] Oyama**
Should we call this off?
**[05:04] Oyama**
We're just getting started!
**[05:07] Mark**
Naturally, we shall continue.
**[05:10] Mark**
Ninja Art, Riding Jutsu!
**[05:12] Nanami**
What's that?!
**[05:18] Nanami**
Oh no!
**[05:20] Nanami**
Ms. Esuka!
**[05:22] Nanami**
Are you okay?!
**[05:23] Esuka**
Nanamin!
**[05:27] Esuka**
Help!
**[05:29] Esuka**
Eeek! It's back!
**[05:32] Nanami**
Yes!
**[05:34] Esuka**
That one's extremely ferocious! Be careful!
**[05:38] Nanami**
Nothing to worry about!
**[05:39] Nanami**
Meow! Meow-meow!
**[05:51] Nanami**
You're a stray, huh?
**[05:52] Nanami**
Did you come here with the other animals?
**[05:59] Butler**
Ms. Esuka, look at that!
**[06:04] Esuka**
Come to think of it, in the mountains...
**[06:10] Esuka**
These animals have come
to root for Ryutarou Oyama!
**[06:15] Esuka**
Tell all audience members
who had evacuated to return.
**[06:18] Butler**
As you wish. At once.
**[06:20] Esuka**
Thank you.
**[06:23] Nanami**
Please tell me one thing.
**[06:25] Esuka**
What is it?
**[06:26] Nanami**
Ms. Esuka, why did you
form Team Dragon's Vanity?
**[06:32] Nanami**
Were we not good enough to beat Team Capital?
**[06:47] Esuka**
I decided not to give you and Tonori
the duty of defeating Shinemon Nitta.
**[06:52] Esuka**
That's all.
**[06:54] Nanami**
Because we're weak?
**[06:56] Esuka**
No, you're not.
**[06:58] Esuka**
But I wanted a team that would
attack them with every fiber of their being.
**[07:03] Esuka**
You're fond of Shinemon Nitta,
aren't you, Nanamin?
**[07:08] Nanami**
No, I'm not.
**[07:11] Esuka**
Either way, it's not as if
I have no more use for you.
**[07:17] Butler**
Ms. Esuka...
**[07:19] Butler**
We are all set.
**[07:23] MC**
Sorry for the wait!
**[07:25] MC**
Despite some unforeseen trouble,
**[07:28] MC**
the sponsor has declared the area safe,
so you can set your minds at ease!
**[07:34] MC**
We return to our scheduled play-by-play!
**[07:38] MC**
The fourth turn is over,
with Ninja Master at 3 damage!
**[07:44] MC**
Oyama has 2 damage!
**[07:47] Rive**
While we took cover,
they just kept fighting, huh?
**[07:51] Shin**
Good grief.
**[07:53] Shin**
For a minute there, I didn't know
what was gonna happen.
**[07:56] Mikuru**
But now you're Safe Cinnamon, huh?
**[07:58] Tonori**
It's just so surreal, yo.
Seein' animals as spectators.
**[08:03] Tatsuya**
Truly fascinating...
**[08:09] Mikuru**
Nanami!
**[08:11] Tonori**
Did somethin' happen?
**[08:13] Nanami**
No, nothing.
**[08:16] Mark**

I get an Imaginary Gift, Protect I!

Rally to me, Evil Stealth Dragon, Zangetsu!
**[08:39] Mark**
Its skill activates!
**[08:41] Mark**
Ninja Art, Summoning Jutsu!
**[08:44] Mark**
I superior call Evil Decoy Token!
**[08:47] Mark**
All of the Tokens get Boost and +5000 power!
**[08:52] Oyama**
This is exciting!
**[08:56] Mark**
Kurogiri, punish Voltage Dragon!
**[08:59] Oyama**
That's the plan?
**[09:01] Oyama**
No guard!
**[09:08] Mark**
Next, I myself shall go...
**[09:10] Mark**
Yahhh!
**[09:12] Oyama**
No guard for that, either!
**[09:14] Mark**
Twin drive!
**[09:16] Mark**
First check.
**[09:18] Mark**
Second check.
**[09:19] MC**
There it is! A critical trigger!
**[09:21] Mark**
I give the power to Zangetsu,
and the extra critical to my Vanguard!
**[09:30] Oyama**
I'm getting a kick out of this!
**[09:33] Shin**
Now he's got 4 damage!
**[09:36] Mark**
Zangetsu attacks Mighty Bolt Dragon!
**[09:42] Oyama**
I see now.
**[09:45] Oyama**
The looming threat of a drawn-out battle
made you take out my rear-guards, eh?
**[09:51] Mark**
Verily, you see through me.
**[09:53] Oyama**
That's some strategizing. Well done.
**[09:57] MC**
And now it's Oyama's turn!
**[10:00] MC**
The animal army cheering him on is excited, too!
**[10:04] Oyama**
I ride!
**[10:13] Oyama**
Dragonic Vanquisher!
**[10:16] MC**
There it is! Oyama's ace in the hole!
**[10:19] MC**
Dragonic Vanquisher takes the field!
**[10:22] Oyama**
I get an Imaginary Gift, Accel II!
**[10:28] Oyama**
I call!
**[10:30] Oyama**
Demonic Dragon Berserker, Chatura!
**[10:32] Oyama**
Voltage Horn!
**[10:33] Oyama**
And also...
**[10:35] Oyama**
Ceremonial Bonfire Eradicator, Castor!
**[10:37] Oyama**
Thunder Break Dragon!
**[10:42] Mark**
How strange!
**[10:44] Mark**
Verily, you discarded
your last ace in the hole!
**[10:47] Oyama**
You do understand what this means, don't you?
**[11:06] Oyama**
You do understand what this means, don't you?
**[11:11] Mark**
Verily, you have chosen offense over defense.
**[11:14] Mark**
Though you are my adversary,
I admire your resolve.
**[11:19] Oyama**
And I admire your insight!
**[11:22] Rive**
Even as they battle, they swap compliments.
**[11:25] Rive**
What an unusual match.
**[11:27] Mark**
How enjoyable this is.
**[11:29] Mark**
Verily, this fight with the
worthy Oyama is most exhilarating!
**[11:37] Oyama**
I discard one unit from my hand,
and Castor's skill activates!
**[11:41] Oyama**
I bind Zangetsu!
**[11:43] Oyama**
Castor gets +5000 power!
**[11:45] Oyama**
Voltage's skill is in effect,
and it gets +5000 power!
**[11:50] Oyama**
Dragonic Vanquisher's skill activates!
**[11:54] Oyama**
I bind Kurogiri!
**[11:57] Oyama**
Thunder Break's skill activates!
**[12:00] Oyama**
I drag the Evil Decoy Tokens to the front row!
**[12:07] Oyama**
Here I come!
**[12:08] Oyama**
Voltage Horn attacks your Vanguard!
**[12:11] Oyama**
Its skill activates!
**[12:13] Oyama**
I bind Evil Decoy Token!
**[12:16] Oyama**
I bound three cards,
so Vanquisher's skill activates!
**[12:20] Oyama**
All of my front-row units gain +10,000 power!
**[12:27] Mark**
No guard!
**[12:31] MC**
With this, Ninja Master has 4 damage!
**[12:35] Oyama**
Vanquisher attacks your Vanguard!
**[12:39] Mark**
Guard! Protect me!
**[12:41] MC**
Oyama's attack is blocked by a perfect guard!
**[12:46] Oyama**
Twin drive!
**[12:47] Oyama**
First check!
**[12:49] Oyama**
Second check!
**[12:51] MC**
There it is! A critical trigger!
**[12:58] Mark**
Might you be curious about my hand?
**[13:01] Oyama**
That's right.
**[13:02] Oyama**
Out of the four cards,
one is Zangetsu and one's Tobihiko.
**[13:06] Oyama**
The question is, what are the other two?
**[13:10] Oyama**
This is a tough decision.
**[13:12] Mikuru**
Hey, how does he know what cards Mark has?
**[13:16] Shin**
He remembers Mark's drive check cards.
**[13:20] Mark**
That hesitation is reminiscent of
Kobayakawa Hideaki at Sekigahara,
**[13:25] Mark**
unsure of whether to join
the Eastern Army or Western Army.
**[13:30] Oyama**
You're a funny guy.
**[13:32] Oyama**
All right, that settles it!
**[13:34] Oyama**
I give all of the effects to
Thunder Break Dragon!
**[13:37] Oyama**
This'll do!
**[13:39] Oyama**
The attack I chose is at the expense
of all cards in my hand, so this is it!
**[13:45] Mark**
And that is why you forced me
to use my perfect guard earlier?
**[13:50] Oyama**
Oh, I'm impressed you realized that.
**[13:52] Oyama**
Truly a ninja.
**[13:55] Shin**
Mark is smiling, even though
he knows he's been bamboozled.
**[13:59] Mikuru**
He must really be
enjoying the fight with Oyama.
**[14:03] Oyama**
Chatura attacks your Vanguard!
**[14:09] MC**
With that, Ninja Master has 5 damage!
**[14:13] Tonori**
No triggers here would be real bad, yo.
**[14:16] Tatsuya**
Mark, hang in there!
**[14:18] Oyama**
Chatura's skill activates!
**[14:21] Oyama**
I bind Evil Decoy Token!
**[14:23] Oyama**
I draw one card!
**[14:25] Oyama**
Castor boosts!
**[14:31] Oyama**
Thunder Break attacks your Vanguard!
**[14:36] Mark**
Ninja Art, Guarding Jutsu!
**[14:37] Mark**
Tobihiko! Zashikihime!
**[14:40] Oyama**
Zashikihime?!
**[14:41] MC**
Again, Oyama's attack is blocked!
**[14:46] Oyama**
So frustrating!
**[14:48] Oyama**
That card was Zashikihime
with a 20,000 shield, eh?
**[14:52] Oyama**
Since Chatura's attack hit,
I assumed I was in the clear.
**[14:57] Mark**
Verily, I got back at you.
**[15:01] Oyama**
And I never saw it coming!
**[15:04] Butler**
That Oyama fellow certainly
has a peculiar way of fighting.
**[15:10] Esuka**
He smiles at his opponent
while thoroughly enjoying the fight.
**[15:15] Esuka**
That is his talent.
**[15:18] Mark**
Stand and draw!
**[15:21] Mark**
I call Chigasumi and Zangetsu!
**[15:23] Mark**
Zangetsu's skill activates!
**[15:26] Mark**
I superior call Evil Decoy Tokens!
**[15:31] Mark**
Ninja Art, Spiriting-Away Jutsu!
**[15:34] Mark**
Hanzo gains +20,000 power!
**[15:37] Mark**
Furthermore, all of your rear-guards
must return to your hand,
**[15:41] Mark**
while the same number
already in hand are discarded!
**[15:45] Oyama**
Five cards?!
**[15:48] Oyama**
That's a nice battle strategy!
**[15:51] Oyama**
You're incredible, Ninja Master!
**[15:55] Mark**
Verily, I am delighted to hear that.
**[16:02] Mark**
Calling Jutsu!
**[16:04] Mark**
Rally to me, Kurogiri!
**[16:06] Mark**
Zangetsu's skill activates!
**[16:08] Mark**
I superior call Evil Decoy Token!
**[16:11] Mark**
+5000 power!
**[16:13] Mark**
Again, Zangetsu's skill activates!
**[16:18] Mark**
I superior call a second one!
**[16:20] Mark**
Verily, all of my Evil Decoy Tokens
gain +5000 power, as well as Boost!
**[16:30] Mark**
Evil Decoy Token boosts!
**[16:32] Mark**
Hanzo attacks your Vanguard!
**[16:35] Mark**
Prepare yourself!
**[16:37] Oyama**
No guard!
**[16:41] Mark**
Drive check!
**[16:43] Mark**
First check!
**[16:45] Mark**
Second check!
**[16:46] MC**
There it is! A critical trigger!
**[16:50] MC**
Verily, Hanzo gains a critical!
**[16:53] Oyama**
Okay, damage check!
**[16:57] Oyama**
No trigger?!
**[16:59] Tatsuya**
All right! 5 damage!
**[17:01] Oyama**
One more damage point and he'll clinch it!
**[17:05] Oyama**
I don't want it to be over!
I don't want to let him end it!
**[17:09] MC**
The fateful second check!
**[17:11] Oyama**
If I draw a heal trigger here,
we can continue this fun fight!
**[17:17] Oyama**
The thought alone gives me a thrill!
**[17:20] Mark**
Lord Oyama...
**[17:22] Oyama**
Here goes my second check
for this manly battle!
**[17:26] Oyama**
Now!
**[17:31] MC**
No trigger!
**[17:40] MC**
It's over!
**[17:43] Oyama**
Nooo, I lost!
**[17:46] MC**
Ninja Master won the match!
**[17:50] MC**
Team Capital has the first victory!
**[17:55] Oyama**
Let's fight again, somewhere, somewhen.
**[17:58] Mark**
Verily, it would be my pleasure.
**[18:01] Oyama**
That really was a great fight.
**[18:04] Oyama**
And above all, that helmet of yours is awesome!
**[18:10] Mark**
This?
**[18:11] Oyama**
Yeah! Nice!
**[18:13] Oyama**
This is so cool.
**[18:15] Oyana**
I see--
**[18:17] Oyama**
Oh, that's right!
**[18:23] Oyama**
This feels amazing!
**[18:27] Oyama**
I'm from the world of Cardfight Vanguard!
**[18:30] Oyama**
The spirit of the deck, Li'l Valkerion!
**[18:34] Oyama**
Hey, everybody who loves card games!
**[18:37] Oyama**
Let's all stand up, Vanguard together!
**[18:42] Esuka**
He's in the suit I wore... That mega-pervert!
**[18:47] Butler**
Please calm yourself, Ms. Esuka.
**[18:48] Esuka**
Take it off already!
**[18:50] Butler**
If you say the wrong thing, it's possible that
everyone will learn that you were in the suit.
**[18:50] Esuka**
How do you find that comfortable?!
**[18:54] Esuka**
Wearing that thing is ridiculous!
**[18:56] Esuka**
All right, fine!
**[19:00] Tatsuya**
That was a great fight, Mark!
**[19:02] Mark**
Yes, that has been your constant refrain.
**[19:06] Mikuru**
But I know how Tatsuya feels.
**[19:09] Shin**
Yeah. That was a fun fight, even just to watch.
**[19:12] Tonori**
For real, yo.
**[19:14] Tatsuya**
It really was a great fight.
**[19:17] Mark**
Verily, you said it yet again.
**[19:32] Esuka**
You're fond of Shinemon Nitta,
aren't you, Nanamin?
**[19:44] Nanami**
What's wrong?
**[19:52] Nanami**
This stray cat wants you to go with it.
**[19:59] Nanami**
You don't fit in anywhere either, huh?
**[20:34] Shin**
All right, now it's my turn!
**[20:37] Mark**
No, no, no! I'll fight in the second match, too!
**[20:41] Mark**
That fight with Oyama put me in a great mood!
**[20:44] Mark**
I'll use this momentum
to snag us a second victory!
**[20:51] Ruga**
I ride!
**[21:01] Ruga**
Last Card, Revonn!
**[21:05] Mark**
Last Card, Revonn?!
**[21:07] Shin**
Mark...
**[21:09] Ruga**
Revonn attacks your Vanguard!
**[21:13] Mark**
Chigasumi intercepts!
**[21:16] Ruga**
Twin drive.
**[21:17] Ruga**
First check.
**[21:18] Ruga**
Second check.
**[21:20] Ruga**
Front trigger!
**[21:22] Tatsuya**
Mark!
**[21:23] Tonori**
Blew right through his guard, yo.
**[21:44] Mark**
How mortifying. Verily, I have lost.
**[21:48] Shin**
Mark... lost...
**[21:59] MC**
Uh-oh... What's this?
**[22:01] MC**
Ruga is glaring at the announcers' corner.
**[22:04] MC**
Was it something I sa--
**[22:05] Rive**
It's me.
**[22:07] Rive**
The one he's looking at...
**[22:10] Rive**
...is me!
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Oyama's
ace in the hole, Dragonic Vanquisher!
***SIGN*** Dragonic Vanquisher
**[23:54] Narrator**
By doing a Counterblast, you can
bind their front-row rear-guards!
**[23:58] Narrator**
And if there's a grade 3 in the Soul,
you can bind cards from your hand and theirs!
**[24:02] Narrator**
On top of that, if you've bound
three or more cards during this turn,
**[24:07] Narrator**
your front-row allies get +10,000 power!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Shin**
Some of the cards have a weird way
of reading their names.
**[24:18] Mark**
Yeah, this looks like "Demonic Ninja Dragon,"
but it's read as "Evil Stealth Dragon."
**[24:22] Mikuru**
And Revonn looks like "Concluding Trump Card,"
but today we heard him call it "Last Card."
**[24:26] Shin**
In my case, I'm the manager of Capital.
**[24:29] Shin**
So, um...
**[24:30] Shin**
The first character means "shop,"
the other "long"...
**[24:33] Shin**
Just call me Shoplong Shinemon!
**[24:34] Mark**
No, no! "Manager" doesn't
break into characters in English!
**[24:37] Mikuru**
With English, you're Stinky Cinnamon!
**[24:39] Mikuru**
And besides, you're not the manager yet!
***SIGN*** Remind 14
Card is Life
**[24:42] Shin**
Don't say that in front of Sub Manager!

**[00:01] Mark**
How mortifying. Verily, I have lost.
**[00:05] Rive**
The one he's looking at...
**[00:08] Rive**
...is me!
***SIGN*** Ruga
***SIGN*** Mark
**[00:13] Shin**
Nice fighting, Mark.
**[00:15] Mark**
In this form, I am Ninja Master.
**[00:17] Shin**
I'll be sure to avenge you, Mark.
**[00:25] Ruga**
How long are you gonna run from me?!
**[00:30] Ruga**
Get over here, Rive Shindou!
**[00:33] MC**
Th-This is a surprise!
**[00:35] MC**
Ruga Kaizu of Team Dragon's Vanity
has beaten Ninja Master,
**[00:40] MC**
and now breaks etiquette
by picking his next opponent!
**[00:46] MC**
Team Capital has somehow managed
to survive this far, but at last,
**[00:51] MC**
the time has come for Rive Shindou,
the Board Grappler, to--
**[00:57] MC**
Huh? Rive Shindou?
**[01:00] MC**
Where is Rive Shindou?
**[01:02] MC**
In the restroom?
**[01:04] MC**
Mr. Shindou?
**[01:05] MC**
Mr. Rive Shindou?
**[01:12] Ruga**
You're not getting away, Rive!
**[01:17] Shin**
What's between Master and that Ruga guy?
**[01:34] GirlGang A**
Hey, you! Boy!
**[01:36] GirlGang A**
Are you part of the traveling duo
that's been wreaking havoc around here?
**[01:41] Ruga**
Are you the strongest fighters in this town?
**[01:48] GirlGang A**
And if we are?
**[01:50] Ruga**
Obviously, I'll fight you!
**[01:56] GirlGang A**
Why're you searching for strong fighters?
**[01:59] Rive**
So I can...
**[02:02] Rive**
So *we* can prove we're the strongest!
**[02:08] Shin**
The strength of imagination!
**[02:11] Shin**
That's the strength of Vanguard!
**[02:16] Shin**
Don't get dominated by
your opponent's imagination!
**[02:19] Shin**
Rewrite that imagination!
***SIGN*** Remind 14
Card or Life
**[03:59] MC**
It's time for the third match
of the Esu Cup finals, so...
**[04:03] MC**
Rive Shindou! Ruga Kaizu!
*Please* return to the arena immediately!
**[04:11] Kanzaki**
What a farce!
**[04:13] MC**
Wait, you two are members
of Team Dragon's Vanity!
**[04:16] Kanzaki**
I, Yuichirou Kanzaki, will use this time
to explain fully the history of those two.
**[04:24] MC**
Thank you very much...
**[04:26] MC**
So, uh, you've known Ruga Kaizu for that long?
**[04:32] Kanzaki**
Nothing of the sort.
Don't lump me together with that idiot.
**[04:37] Kanzaki**
But in this world,
everyone has heard the rumors.
**[04:42] Oyama**
Ruga Kaizu, Master Commander of the Field,
and Rive Shindou, the Board Grappler,
**[04:49] Oyama**
used to be known as the Traveling
Vanguard Fighters, the strongest duo around.
**[04:54] MC**
Th-the strongest?
**[04:59] Rive**
God Hand Dragon attacks!
**[05:03] GirlGang A**
6... damage...
**[05:09] Kanzaki**
More precisely, they were
searching for "the strongest."
**[05:15] Kanzaki**
It was during the
Vanguard Warring States Period.
**[05:17] Kanzaki**
Local powerhouses
held control across the country.
**[05:22] Kanzaki**
And those two defeated them all,
one after another.
**[05:28] Oyama**
The rumors about them reached
as far as Hawaii, where I was at the time.
**[05:35] Kanzaki**
They both probably dreamed
of unifying the Vanguard world.
**[05:40] Kanzaki**
However, only one can stand at the top.
**[05:46] Kanzaki**
Who was the stronger, Ruga Kaizu
or Rive Shindou? They just had to know.
**[05:52] Kanzaki**
They entered the Vanguard National Tournament,
promising to face each other at the finals.
**[06:01] Kanzaki**
But Rive Shindou never
showed up at the tournament.
**[06:06] Kanzaki**
He had run away!
**[06:09] Oyama**
It wasn't just that tournament.
**[06:11] Oyama**
Rive Shindou never again
appeared in the Vanguard limelight...
**[06:16] Oyama**
...until now.
**[06:17] Shin**
No! Master would never have done that!
**[06:46] Rive**
How did you know?
**[06:48] Mark**
Verily, you have hidden
inside Li'l Valkerion before...
**[06:51] Mark**
I saw through your
Ninja Art, Li'l Valkerion Jutsu.
**[06:54] Tatsuya**
It's just as you said.
**[06:56] Rive**
I wasn't hiding that other time.
**[06:59] Shin**
But you were hiding this time?
**[07:04] Shin**
It's not true, is it, Master?
**[07:07] Shin**
Did you run away because
you didn't want to lose?
**[07:11] Rive**
Is that what Ruga said?
**[07:13] Tatsuya**
No. But it's true that you two were friends?
**[07:21] Shin**
Your friend challenged you
to a fight... and you ran away.
**[07:27] Rive**
I don't blame you for assuming that.
**[07:31] Mikuru**
Explain to them the reason why you did it!
**[07:35] Rive**
The reason...
**[07:38] Ruga**
I know the reason why.
**[07:43] Ruga**
That's what makes it unforgivable.
**[07:57] Shin**
I thought I could fight in your place, Master...
**[08:02] Shin**
...but I can't.
**[08:04] Shin**
I came this far just so
I could fight Esuka once more.
**[08:09] Shin**
If she was to disappear all of a sudden...
**[08:14] Shin**
I have faith that you're not someone who
runs away because he's going to lose, Master.
**[08:19] Shin**
So, please... prove it to me.
**[08:25] Ruga**
If you were to beat me, it'd certainly show
that you didn't run off because you were afraid.
**[08:38] MC**
The third match of the
Esu Cup finals is about to begin!
**[08:42] MC**
First to attack is Ruga Kaizu
of Team Dragon's Vanity.
**[08:47] MC**
Second to attack is
Rive Shindou of Team Capital.
**[09:05] MC**
It's the Master Commander of the Field
versus the Board Grappler!
**[09:09] MC**
This is a match not to be missed!
**[09:14] Shin**
Master...
**[09:19] Rive**
You still use Aqua Force?
**[09:21] Ruga**
I like the kind of fight
where you exchange blows head-on.
**[09:25] Ruga**
Your Nova Grappler is the same way.
**[09:28] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[09:36] Ruga**
I heard you had a kid.
**[09:40] Rive**
Yeah. A 3-month-old boy.
**[09:44] Ruga**
Living the dream with your wife and child, huh?
**[09:52] Ruga**
Seriously?! You're getting married, Rive?!
**[09:55] Rive**
She has kind of a weak constitution.
**[09:58] Rive**
So I've decided to stay by her side from now on.
**[10:01] Ruga**
We swore to stand together
at the summit of Vanguard!
**[10:04] Ruga**
All this time, we've been disregarding
run-of-the-mill happiness to achieve that!
**[10:08] Ruga**
We discard everything and live for Vanguard.
**[10:11] Ruga**
We belong on the planet Cray,
not in boring reality!
**[10:21] Rive**
I don't think I can live like that.
**[10:26] Ruga**
Wait! Fight me before you go!
**[10:28] Ruga**
Which of us is--
**[10:39] Ruga**
I ride!
**[10:40] Ruga**
Blue Wave Marine General, Galleass!
**[10:44] Ruga**
Here I come!
**[10:50] Ruga**
Coral Assault!
**[10:55] Ruga**
Go, Blue Wave Marine General, Foivos!
**[11:05] Rive**
2 damage.
**[11:07] Nanami**
He pays no attention to the rear-guards,
but just keeps attacking the Vanguard.
**[11:11] Mark**
Verily, that's what he did
when giving me a drubbing.
**[11:13] Rive**
I ride Fusing Striker!
**[11:21] Rive**
Its skill activates!
**[11:25] Tatsuya**
Using that skill, he can examine his deck
and add God Hand Dragon to his hand.
**[11:32] MC**
After this, Rive Shindou will definitely
be able to ride the grade 3 God Hand Dragon!
**[11:39] Ruga**
Just what I was waiting for.
**[11:41] Rive**
What?
**[11:43] Ruga**
God Hand Dragon is your strongest unit.
**[11:46] Ruga**
Unless I crush it, I won't be able say I've won.
**[11:50] Ruga**
So come for me!
**[11:52] Rive**
Strikers, get into formation!
**[11:56] Rive**
Shoot!
**[12:03] Tonori**
Rive did three attacks in a row, huh?
**[12:05] Tatsuya**
They all hit!
**[12:07] Tatsuya**
Now Ruga has 4 damage!
**[12:10] MC**
It's Ruga Kaizu's turn!
**[12:13] Ruga**
At your Master Commander's order,
**[12:15] Ruga**
awaken from the depths,
in order to end everything...
**[12:20] Ruga**
I ride Last Card, Revonn!
**[12:29] Ruga**
As its name indicates, Revonn is the last card.
**[12:32] Ruga**
None can remain standing
in the face of this unit!
**[12:36] Ruga**
Imaginary Gift, Accel II!
**[12:38] Ruga**
Accel Circle unleashed!
**[12:40] Ruga**
I call Blue Wave Marine General, Galleass!
**[12:44] Ruga**
I call Blue Wave Shield General, Yorgos!
**[12:47] Ruga**
I'll rest this to activate Revonn's skill.
**[12:53] Ruga**
My opponent's Vanguard gets -5000 power!
**[12:57] MC**
Rive Shindou's Vanguard has lost power!
**[13:00] MC**
The Accel Circle has been unleashed,
and there are now four units in the front row!
**[13:04] Kanzaki**
So he means to clinch it here?
**[13:06] Kanzaki**
Here comes his raging rapid-fire attack.
**[13:11] Ruga**
Let's attack together, Galleass!
Foivos! Coral Assault!
**[13:16] The Three**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[13:20] Rive**
Get over here, Cannon Ball!
**[13:26] Coral**
You're mine!
**[13:36] Ruga**
I'm not done yet.
**[13:38] Ruga**
Last Card, Revonn's skill activates!
**[13:41] Oyama**
With its second skill,
if there are five or more resting units,
**[13:46] Oyama**
Revonn gets +15000 power
and an extra drive.
**[13:50] Kanzaki**
Also, he can now restand Galleass and Foivos.
**[14:02] Ruga**
First check.
**[14:04] Ruga**
Second check.
**[14:06] Ruga**
Front trigger.
**[14:08] Ruga**
Third check.
**[14:10] Ruga**
Heal trigger!
**[14:11] MC**
Ruga got a front trigger and a heal trigger!
**[14:15] MC**
But what about Rive's damage check?!
**[14:20] Rive**
No trigger.
**[14:22] Ruga**
Next, Galleass attacks your Vanguard!
**[14:25] Rive**
No guard.
**[14:28] MC**
Whoa, a draw trigger!
**[14:30] MC**
And Rive has 5 damage!
**[14:32] Tatsuya**
Ruga can still attack with Foivos this turn!
**[14:37] Mikuru**
So Dumbro might be...
**[14:40] Ruga**
Foivos...
**[14:45] Ruga**
...attacks your rear-guard, Fusing Striker!
**[14:50] Rive**
No guard.
**[14:53] MC**
Ruga Kaizu's turn is over.
**[14:55] MC**
But what happened there?
**[14:58] MC**
Up to now, he's only attacked the Vanguard,
but this time he attacked a rear-guard.
**[15:03] Kanzaki**
Rive Shindou drew a front trigger
and draw trigger for his damage checks,
**[15:08] Kanzaki**
so his Vanguard is at +20,000.
**[15:11] Kanzaki**
Taking out his rear-guard
is the natural strategy.
**[15:15] Oyama**
Nah, Ruga wants to fight Rive's strongest unit,
God Hand Dragon, as a friend.
**[15:23] MC**
But Rive Shindou has 5 damage.
**[15:25] MC**
With that heal trigger, Ruga Kaizu
healed 1 damage point, so he has 3 damage.
**[15:31] Ruga**
It's your turn.
**[15:33] Ruga**
You're gonna ride God Hand Dragon, aren't you?
**[15:37] Ruga**
Then I'll prove it to you.
**[15:40] Ruga**
I've staked my entire life on Vanguard.
**[15:43] Ruga**
I'll prove that it's stronger than
the half-baked happiness you chose!
**[15:51] Rive**
Stand and draw!
**[15:55] Rive**
Its fists are like gods,
**[15:57] Rive**
and its standing technique
is the strongest on planet Cray...
**[15:59] Rive**
I ride Fighting Fist Dragon,
God Hand Dragon!
**[16:09] Rive**
I get an Imaginary Gift, Accel II!
**[16:13] Rive**
Accel Circle unleashed!
**[16:16] Rive**
Go, Burstraizer!
**[16:21] Rive**
I'm next! Here I come, Ruga!
**[16:24] Ruga**
Emerald Shield, Paschal!
**[16:28] Rive**
First check.
**[16:30] Rive**
Second check.
**[16:32] Rive**
Front trigger!
**[16:34] Rive**
Third check.
**[16:35] Rive**
Heal trigger!
**[16:38] MC**
Kaizu had a perfect guard!
**[16:40] MC**
God Hand Dragon's attack fails!
**[16:44] Rive**
Fusing Striker attacks your Vanguard!
**[16:47] Ruga**
No guard.
**[16:50] MC**
The turn is over.
**[16:52] MC**
Rive Shindou dealt just 1 damage,
but since he got a heal trigger,
**[16:57] MC**
that makes them tied at 4 damage!
**[17:01] MC**
This fight is heating up!
**[17:04] Ruga**
Heating up?
**[17:05] Ruga**
Look at the huge difference between us!
**[17:08] Ruga**
Stand and draw!
**[17:11] Ruga**
I ride Revonn again!
**[17:14] Ruga**
Imaginary Gift, Accel II!
**[17:16] Ruga**
I call Light Signals Penguin Soldier!
Blue Wave Soldier Senior, Beragios!
**[17:21] Ruga**
Blue Wave Marine General, Foivos!
**[17:23] MC**
Due to Revonn's skill, once again
God Hand Dragon loses 5000 power!
**[17:34] Ruga**
Now, Beragios!
**[17:41] Mikuru**
5 damage!
**[17:42] Nanami**
And with Revonn's skill, it gets +15,000 power!
**[17:46] Mark**
Plus an extra drive.
Verily, that's what he said before.
**[17:51] Nanami**
On top of that, when there's
a grade 3 in the Soul...
**[17:54] Tonori**
...it gets an extra critical, yo.
**[17:57] Ruga**
Revonn attacks your Vanguard!
**[17:59] Ruga**
Its skill activates!
**[18:00] Ruga**
Next, Foivos stands!
**[18:02] Rive**
I guard with Wall Boy and Cannon Ball.
**[18:05] Ruga**
You intend to block it?
**[18:06] Ruga**
Triple drive!
**[18:09] Ruga**
First check.
**[18:11] Ruga**
Second check.
**[18:14] Ruga**
Third check.
**[18:16] MC**
He drew a critical trigger!
**[18:18] Ruga**
I give all of the effects to Foivos!
**[18:20] Ruga**
Foivos attacks with 24,000 power
and an extra critical!
**[18:25] Rive**
I guard with Wall Boy!
**[18:27] Ruga**
What?!
**[18:37] Rive**
Ruga... you abandoned everything but Vanguard.
**[18:41] Rive**
That's why you're strong, you claim.
**[18:43] Rive**
But I lost something important to me, too.
**[18:48] Ruga**
What?!
**[18:50] MC**
We're on Rive Shindou's fourth turn!
**[18:55] Kanzaki**
Why are you dragging your feet?!
**[18:57] Kanzaki**
Ruga!
**[18:59] Rive**
It was fun, wasn't it?
**[19:01] Rive**
Traveling around together...
**[19:05] Rive**
Vanguard was all I thought about back then.
**[19:09] Rive**
I had a grand dream.
**[19:16] Rive**
It'll never come back.
**[19:22] Ruga**
Is that what you're saying you lost?
**[19:26] Rive**
God Hand Dragon attacks your Vanguard!
**[19:29] Rive**
Its skill activates!
**[19:31] Rive**
It gets an extra drive and critical!
**[19:35] Ruga**
Report! Blue Wave Shield General,
Yorgos! Battleship Intelligence!
**[19:40] MC**
All together, those three units
have a total guard of 37,000!
**[19:43] MC**
Will God Hand Dragon's attack fail?!
It'll be a fateful drive check!
**[19:48] MC**
Right now, God Hand Dragon has triple drive!
**[19:54] Ruga**
No trigger.
**[19:56] Ruga**
Yet you still claim we're the same?
**[20:02] Rive**
I don't think we're the same.
**[20:04] Rive**
However, we've both lost something
and gained something in our lives.
**[20:09] Rive**
That's not enough to
decide which of us is stronger!
**[20:16] MC**
A front trigger!
**[20:17] MC**
All of the front row units get +20,000!
**[20:19] MC**
But the guard still stands!
**[20:21] MC**
What about the third and final check?!
**[20:25] Ruga**
Meaning, we don't know which of us will win?
**[20:29] Rive**
That's what makes Vanguard so interesting.
**[20:36] All**
Yeah!
**[20:39] MC**
A double front trigger!
**[20:41] MC**
Incredible! God Hand Dragon has 52,000 power!
**[20:45] MC**
On top of that, with its skill,
it gets an extra critical!
**[20:55] MC**
It's over!
**[21:02] MC**
Kaizu has 6 damage...
**[21:04] MC**
...and the winner of the third match
is Rive Shindou of Team Capital!
**[21:11] Ruga**
Then I might win next time.
**[21:16] Rive**
You still want to fight?
**[21:20] Ruga**
Yeah. Get your wife's permission.
**[21:33] Oyama**
In other words, however you choose to live,
there are strengths, and the right thing...
**[21:40] Kanzaki**
If you're weak, you'll lose.
**[21:42] Kanzaki**
Weakness is a sin.
**[21:43] Kanzaki**
I, Yuichirou Kanzaki,
will show you true strength.
**[21:50] Mikuru**
Bro!
**[21:51] Shin**
Master, you really are my master!
**[21:54] Shin**
I'll do the next one.
**[21:55] Shin**
Let me do it!
**[21:57] Rive**
Yeah, sure.
**[21:59] Rive**
Still...
**[22:04] Rive**
...that guy's strong.
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Ruga's
ace in the hole, Last Card, Revonn!
***SIGN*** Last Card, Revonn
**[23:54] Narrator**
Resting one of your own rear-guards will
make your opponent's Vanguard lose 5000 power!
**[23:59] Narrator**
And if five of your units are at rest,
this unit gets +15,000 power and an extra drive!
**[24:06] Narrator**
On top of that, by meeting the conditions,
you'll also gain an extra critical!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Kanzaki**
I see.
**[24:17] Kanzaki**
You want me, Yuichirou Kanzaki,
to host this preview? Very well.
**[24:21] Kanzaki**
All right! On the next episode of
*Cardfight!! Vanguard*...
**[24:23] Kanzaki**
...I will take Shinemon Nitta apart,
piece by piece, and--
**[24:26] Oyama**
That's a spoiler!
**[24:27] Kanzaki**
That's how previews are!
**[24:29] Oyama**
Nope! The previews for this show are
absurd drivel, potsticker trivia, exercises...
**[24:34] Kanzaki**
Or like, "Ride this channel next week, too!"?
**[24:36] Oyama**
I've been wondering this,
but, just how old *are* you?
**[24:39] Kanzaki**
We *both* look completely retro!
***SIGN*** Remind 15

Good point.

**[00:01] MC**
With Team Capital at two wins
and Team Dragon's Vanity at one win,
**[00:05] MC**
we head into the fourth match
of the Esu Cup finals!
**[00:09] MC**
It's Shinemon Nitta versus international
Vanguard high school champion Yuichirou Kanzaki!
**[00:19] MC**
I recall hearing that Nitta is your disciple?
**[00:23] Oyama**
That kid's a spirited fighter.
**[00:26] Rive**
What're you doing here?!
**[00:28] Kanzaki**
You!
**[00:30] Kanzaki**
So you're stronger than S Class, eh?
**[00:33] Shin**
I only defeated them once.
**[00:37] Kanzaki**
Unless you're strong, you have
no business being a Vanguard fighter!
**[00:49] Kanzaki**
Strength is power! Strength is justice!
**[00:57] Kanzaki**
Strength is absolute!
**[01:03] Kanzaki**
Don't make me sad!
**[01:09] MC**
It's now the first turn! Nitta attacks!
**[01:13] Shin**
I'll finish you off with
Phosphoros of Auspicious Light!
**[01:16] Kanzaki**
Too wimpy!
**[01:23] MC**
Kanzaki rode out the attack
by guarding with four cards!
**[01:34] MC**
A-Again?
**[01:45] Kanzaki**
Weak, weak, weak!
**[01:48] Kanzaki**
Too weak!
**[01:50] Kanzaki**
You're weaker than I imagined!
**[01:54] Kanzaki**
That's why I'll end this now!
**[01:57] Kanzaki**
Claret Sword attacks!
**[02:02] Shin**
No guard...
**[02:04] MC**
Nitta will do a fateful damage check!
**[02:14] Shin**
No trigger...
**[02:17] MC**
Nitta has 6 damage!
**[02:20] MC**
That made a well-earned victory
for Kanzaki of Team Dragon's Vanity!
**[02:26] MC**
Now both teams are even
with two wins and two losses!
**[02:30] Kanzaki**
Weakness is a sin!
**[02:32] Kanzaki**
Begone, weakling!
**[02:35] Oyama**
He's strong, but he rubs me the wrong way.
**[02:41] Kanzaki**
Rive Shindou, the Board Grappler!
**[02:44] Kanzaki**
You're my next opponent, right?!
**[02:51] Rive**
Well, I guess so.
**[02:56] MC**
And now we'll have a one-hour
intermission before the fifth match.
**[03:05] Shin**
The strength of imagination!
**[03:08] Shin**
That's the strength of Vanguard!
**[03:13] Shin**
Don't get dominated by
your opponent's imagination!
**[03:16] Shin**
Rewrite that imagination!
***SIGN*** Remind 15 Image Transformed!!
**[04:58] Nanami**
Are you sure you don't mind
sharing with us, too?
**[05:00] Mikuru**
That's why I made them all!
**[05:04] Mikuru**
I can't tell them I made too many again...
**[05:08] Tatsuya**
Shinemon and Mark sure have
been in the restroom a long while.
**[05:12] Tonori**
I-I can't hold back, yo!
**[05:15] Mikuru**
Well, go ahead!
**[05:17] Rive**
I have a bad feeling...
**[05:19] The Two**
Thanks!
**[05:22] The Two**
W-Water!
**[05:25] Mikuru**
Don't tell me...
**[05:27] Mikuru**
I'll try one!
**[05:31] Mikuru**
Water! I need water!
**[05:33] Rive**
Not only did she make too many,
she overloaded them with salt.
**[05:37] Mikuru**
Yeah!
**[05:39] Mikuru**
How did you know I made too many?!
**[05:41] Rive**
It was obvious!
**[05:44] Mark**
Verily, are you certain about this?
**[05:47] Shin**
Yeah.
**[05:49] Rive**
What's up?
**[05:51] Mark**
Shinemon wishes for you to fight
in the next match, Lord Rive.
**[06:03] Rive**
Leave it to me.
**[06:07] Shin**
Thank you...
**[06:22] Rive**
You stay put.
**[06:24] Mikuru**
Bro! Why isn't Shinemon
fighting in the next match?!
**[06:28] Tatsuya**
According to the rules, it's fine for
a player who lost a match to do another one.
**[06:35] Rive**
The way Shinemon is now,
he wouldn't be able to beat Kanzaki.
**[06:42] Mikuru**
But why?! I'm sure Shinemon
could defeat him this time!
**[06:46] Rive**
That was Shinemon's first fight
against somebody like Kanzaki.
**[06:51] Tatsuya**
What do you mean?
**[06:53] Rive**
Kanzaki is obsessed with strength.
**[06:57] Rive**
He and Shinemon are like polar opposites.
**[07:02] Kid**
I ride!
**[07:03] Kid**
Um... Allen attacks!
**[07:05] Kid**
My turn's over.
**[07:08] Kid A**
Stand and draw!
**[07:09] Kid A**
I ride Cosmo Beak!
**[07:12] Kid A**
With its skill, I draw one card!
**[07:15] Shin**
Where'd you come from, Mark?
**[07:17] Mark**
Refer to me as Ninja Master
when I am in this form.
**[07:21] Kids**
No guard!
**[07:24] Kids**
Heal trigger!
**[07:26] Kid**
I ride!
**[07:27] Kid A**
All right! Here I come!
**[07:28] Kid A**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[07:29] Shin**
Why did I lose to Kanzaki?
**[07:36] Mark**
Shall we fight here as well?
**[07:41] Mark**
Verily, even Sub Manager encourages you to.
**[07:45] Shin**
So I see. In that case...
**[07:50] Rive**
It's as if Shinemon was born to be
a man who purely enjoys Vanguard.
**[07:57] Nanami**
That makes sense.
**[07:58] Mikuru**
You understood that?
**[07:59] Nanami**
Yeah, I doubt he's interested
in strength and stuff like that.
**[08:05] Mikuru**
Then you do understand.
**[08:07] Rive**
So against Kanzaki, that kind of guy he'd
never faced before, he instinctively froze up.
**[08:14] Tatsuya**
Fascinating...
**[08:16] Mikuru**
He became a Scared Cinnamon.
**[08:19] Tonori**
But if he can overcome that...
**[08:23] Rive**
The thing is, Shinemon himself doesn't
realize he's harboring that image of Kanzaki.
**[08:30] Rive**
So just telling him that wouldn't work.
**[08:33] Mikuru**
Then, even if he did the next one...
**[08:36] Rive**
If he's the same Shinemon
as the previous match...
**[08:43] Nanami**
Hey, don't interrupt!
**[08:47] Tonori**
Speak for yourself.
**[08:53] Mikuru**
It's fine! You don't have to eat them!
**[08:57] Mikuru**
Let's go somewhere for lunch!
**[08:59] Shin**
Parthenos attacks!
**[09:01] Mark**
Ninja Art, Mortal-Coil Jutsu!
**[09:05] Mark**
Verily, you shall not get by me that easily!
**[09:09] Shin**
What is this feeling...?
**[09:11] Shin**
It's completely different
from when I played against Kanzaki.
**[09:15] Mark**
Stand and draw!
**[09:17] Mark**
Riding Jutsu!
**[09:19] Mark**
Evil Stealth Dragon Akatsuki, Hanzo!

Return two cards to your hand
and discard two others from your hand.
**[09:31] Shin**
Drat!
**[09:32] Shin**
When I play against Mark,
it's fun even if I get into a tough spot.
**[09:37] Shin**
No, it's not just when I play Mark.
**[09:40] Shin**
Vanguard is fun, no matter who I'm fighting.
**[09:45] Shin**
Even when I lost to Esuka...
**[09:50] Shin**
And yet...
**[09:51] Mark**
Shinemon?
**[09:53] Boy A**
You gonna do something?
**[09:56] Shin**
Sorry about that.
**[09:58] Shin**
Let's continue.
**[09:59] Mark**
Verily, here I go!
**[10:04] Mark**
Verily, I lost.
**[10:07] Boy A**
That was great!
**[10:08] Kid**
So exciting!
**[10:09] Kid**
Let's us fight again too!
**[10:11] Girl**
Yeah, let's do it!
**[10:14] Shin**
Vanguard really is fun.
**[10:28] Mark**
A navy swims on its stomach!
**[10:30] Shin**
That's "an army marches on its stomach"!

**[10:40] The Two**
Water! Water! Water!
**[10:43] Mikuru**
I was too late...
**[10:46] MC**
The fifth match will begin momentarily.
**[10:49] MC**
Participating fighters,
please proceed to the fight stage.
**[11:03] Shin**
Master...
**[11:06] Shin**
Would you mind if I did the next match?
**[11:12] Rive**
Do you have some kind of plan?
**[11:17] Shin**
I promised not to run away anymore.
**[11:21] Shin**
I'd be a liar if I ran now.
**[11:25] Rive**
Can you beat Kanzaki?
**[11:30] Mark**
Verily, if you can fight as you
normally do, I foresee no problems.
**[11:38] Rive**
Then go ahead!
**[11:41] Shin**
Great!
**[11:44] Shin**
Thank you, Master!
**[11:47] Mark**
Shinemon.
**[11:49] Mark**
Enjoy yourself to the utmost... verily.
**[11:53] Shin**
I will!
**[11:55] Kanzaki**
Rive Shindou! What is the meaning of this?!
**[11:59] Oyama**
Don't ask me!
**[12:04] Kanzaki**
Where did he disappear to?!
**[12:07] Rive**
He's such a pain in the neck.
**[12:11] Kid B**
It's Li'l Valkerion!
**[12:16] Kanzaki**
I'm utterly devastated!
**[12:21] Shin**
Enjoy myself, huh?
**[12:24] Shin**
It looked like Mark had a great time
fighting against that Oyama guy.
**[12:30] Shin**
And even Master seemed to
genuinely enjoy his fight with Ruga.
**[12:37] Shin**
Meanwhile, I'm...
**[12:40] Kanzaki**
Hey, weakling!
**[12:43] Kanzaki**
Let's get started.
**[12:44] Shin**
R-Right!
**[12:46] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[13:02] MC**
It's the fateful fifth match, since the team
that wins it will win the tournament!
**[13:06] MC**
Kanzaki's onslaught continues!
**[13:10] Kanzaki**
I attack Prometheus of Dancing Lights!
**[13:13] Shin**
No guard!
**[13:15] Shin**
Damage check!
**[13:17] Shin**
Draw trigger!
**[13:19] MC**
Kanzaki has 1 damage,
while Nitta already has 4 damage!
**[13:30] Prometheus**
Don't be afraid, my Vanguard!
**[13:37] Shin**
I'm afraid?
**[13:39] Kanzaki**
What are you doing?! It's your turn!
**[13:44] Shin**
Stand and draw!
**[13:47] Laurier**
We're with you!
**[13:50] Kuririhina**
Me too!
**[13:50] Diana**
Me too!
**[13:52] Bare**
Me too!
**[13:59] Rive**
His expression changed.
**[14:02] Rive**
Rewrite that imagination, Shinemon.
**[14:10] Rive**
I think you're able to understand...
**[14:13] Rive**
...what you should do!
**[14:16] Shin**
I don't know why I was afraid.
**[14:19] Shin**
What I do know is...
**[14:20] Shin**
...I should fight like I usually do!
**[14:20] Mark**
You should fight like you usually do!
**[14:25] Shin**
That roar...
**[14:26] Shin**
The call of the stars...
**[14:27] Shin**
Shaking the furthest reaches of the Milky Way
and tearing through the firmament,
**[14:31] Shin**
it summons elements from far and wide!

**[14:41] Shin**
Quaking Heavenly Dragon, Astraios Dragon!
**[14:49] Shin**
Imaginary Gift, Force I!
**[14:56] MC**
Nitta does it again!
**[14:58] MC**
With Astraios and the skill of the Atlas
that he called, he gets two Imaginary Gifts!
**[15:04] Shin**
Here I come!
**[15:18] Shin**
Prometheus! Diana!
**[15:20] Kanzaki**
Death Feather Eagle!
**[15:23] MC**
As you'd expect of Kanzaki,
he kept his damage at 3!
**[15:27] MC**
And now it's his turn!
**[15:29] Kanzaki**
"In Heaven and on Earth,
I alone am worthy!"
**[15:33] Kanzaki**
True power, come to me!
**[15:35] Kanzaki**
I ride!
**[15:42] Kanzaki**
Claret Sword Dragon!
**[15:46] Kanzaki**
Imaginary Gift, Force II!
**[15:54] Kanzaki**
Its skill activates!
**[15:57] Kanzaki**
Claret Sword gets +30,000 power!
**[16:01] MC**
With that, Claret Sword has 43,000 power!
**[16:06] Kanzaki**
I knew you were weak!
**[16:08] Kanzaki**
On this turn, all you can do is lose!
To the *other* skill of my Claret Sword!
**[16:17] Kanzaki**
With my Claret Sword Dragon, if I bind
seven grade 1 cards in the Drop Zone,
**[16:25] Kanzaki**
I can attack once more
in exchange for losing a drive!
**[16:32] Tatsuya**
He's already got seven grade 1 cards there!
**[16:36] Kanzaki**
Weakness is a sin!
**[16:41] Kanzaki**
Show him how weak he is!
**[16:52] Shin**
Thank you, Laurier!
**[16:55] Laurier**
You look like you're having fun, my Vanguard!
**[16:59] Shin**
It's thanks to all of you.
**[17:03] Shin**
Vanguard is fun.
**[17:07] Kanzaki**
Fun, you say?!
**[17:08] Kanzaki**
It seems you don't understand
the position that you're in!
**[17:13] Kanzaki**
Claret Sword attacks your Vanguard!
**[17:17] Shin**
No guard!
**[17:27] Shin**
Damage check!
**[17:30] MC**
No trigger!
**[17:32] Tatsuya**
That makes 5 damage!
**[17:34] Mikuru**
Shinemon!
**[17:39] Nanami**
A heal trigger!
**[17:41] Kanzaki**
Despite that narrow escape
from death, you're *still* weak!
**[17:45] Kanzaki**
I bind seven grade 1 cards from the Drop Zone!
**[17:50] Kanzaki**
I stand Claret Sword Dragon!
**[17:54] Kanzaki**
And now I finish you off!
**[17:55] MC**
That's a 61,000 power attack!
**[17:58] MC**
It's all over for Nitta!
**[18:00] Oyama**
I don't think so.
**[18:05] Shin**
Guard!
**[18:06] MC**
Nitta guarded with a batch of four cards,
for a total guard of 63,000!
**[18:12] Kanzaki**
No trigger!
**[18:13] MC**
However, Kanzaki still has rear-guards!
**[18:18] Kanzaki**
The final stroke!
**[18:23] Shin**
Guard! Intercept!
**[18:26] MC**
Nitta held on!
**[18:28] MC**
Kanzaki's turn is over!
**[18:33] Rive**
You can do this, Shinemon!
**[18:36] Shin**
Once more, I ride Astraios Dragon!
**[18:41] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[18:46] Shin**
Its skill activates!
**[18:48] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[18:52] Shin**
That makes five gifts!
**[19:03] Shin**
Circle Shift! Astral Plane!
**[19:08] Shin**
Let's go, partner!
**[19:12] Shin**
O great planetary guardian deity!
**[19:14] Shin**
Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
**[19:23] Shin**
Valkerion's skill activates!
**[19:32] Shin**
Well, it's bound to happen sometime.
**[19:37] MC**
O-Oh no! It's an unexpected grade 1!
**[19:41] MC**
Valkerion only gets one drive!
**[19:48] Shin**
One drive is plenty!
**[19:52] Shin**
First, Astraios attacks!
**[20:03] Nanami**
5 damage!
**[20:06] Shin**
I'm counting on you, Valkerion!
**[20:08] Shin**
Zodiac Blazer!
**[20:11] Tatsuya**
That's a 70,000 power attack!
**[20:14] Mikuru**
Please!
**[20:15] Kanzaki**
Guard!
**[20:16] MC**
Kanzaki uses all the cards
in his hand to block it!
**[20:20] Shin**
Drive check!
**[20:22] Mark**
The total guard is 73,000.
**[20:25] Mark**
Verily, if Shinemon draws a trigger,
he'll win with 80,000 power!
**[20:32] Kanzaki**
A critical trigger?!
**[20:39] MC**
What a stunning upset!
**[20:42] MC**
Yuichirou Kanzaki has lost!
**[20:45] MC**
This makes three matches to two!
Team Capital has won this year's Esu Cup!
**[20:51] Mark**
Shinemon!
**[20:56] Shin**
Mark!
**[21:01] Shin**
Thank you, Mark!
**[21:06] Rive**
You did it, Shinemon.
**[21:11] Rive**
*Up* you go!
**[21:14] Kanzaki**
Weak! Too weak!
**[21:16] Kanzaki**
My own weakness has left me in tears!
**[21:21] Kanzaki**
Thus, I shall depart.

**[21:51] Shin**
That's me!

I'll fight!
**[21:54] Shin**
Don't forget this, Esuka!
**[21:56] Shin**
I'm not the same person
I was the last time we fought!
**[22:00] Esuka**
That's "Ms. Esuka" to you.

The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:50] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Kanzaki's
ace in the hole, Claret Sword Dragon!
***SIGN*** Claret Sword Dragon
**[23:56] Narrator**
After it attacks, binding seven grade 1 cards
from the Drop Zone will let it re-stand!
**[24:01] Narrator**
Also, when it first appears, if you send any
grade 1 units from your deck to the Drop Zone,
**[24:06] Narrator**
you get to power it up 10,000 per unit sent!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can

**[24:23] Mikuru**
The "mightiest"? Even though you lost?
**[24:25] Kanzaki**
Hush! He was lucky!
**[24:26] Mikuru**
Strength is power! Strength is justice!
Strength is absolute!
**[24:29] Kanzaki**
Forget all that already!
**[24:31] Mikuru**
Weakness is a sin! Weak, weak, too weak!

You're weaker than I imagined!

**[00:02] Rive**
The planet Cray is the mother world
that exists in another dimension.
**[00:09] Rive**
A variety of tribes, called Clans, live there,
and they each have their own stories.
**[00:17] Rive**
Clans fight each other,
and sometimes work hand-in-hand,
**[00:21] Rive**
as they try to build the future
beyond their imagination.
**[00:30] Rive**
This is Great Nature, a university where
intelligent animals study around the clock.
**[00:37] Rive**
They guide Cray with their strong intellect.
**[00:49] Isabelle**
Another battle, taking place somewhere...
**[00:52] Isabelle**
At this rate, civilization itself
is bound for ruin in the near future.
**[01:10] Mathilda**
Holy Great Sage of Black Shadows!
**[01:19] Isabelle**
What's happening?!
**[01:21] Cecile**
Holy Great Sage, look!
**[01:27] Mathilda**
You're... Genesis!
**[01:32] Rive**
Genesis calls itself a conglomerate,
but it employs many deities known as Nobles,
**[01:40] Rive**
and the organization itself
is shrouded in mystery.
**[01:44] Isabelle**
All the way from United Sanctuary?
**[01:47] Isabelle**
Welcome to Great Nature.
**[01:49] Isabelle**
It appears that you are Nobles.
**[01:53] Pan**
That's right. On this planet, we are said to be
the descendants of those who were called gods.
**[01:59] Isabelle**
What brings you young deities to our university?
**[02:03] Uranus**
We wish to rewrite the hopeless future
that has been prophesied.
**[02:06] Uranus**
That is the guiding principle behind Genesis.
**[02:10] Cecile**
What hopeless future?
**[02:13] Uranus**
Clans are constantly at war with each other.
**[02:16] Uranus**
The way matters are going,
our civilization will fall ere long.
**[02:20] Uranus**
That is what our CEO has prophesied.
**[02:23] Uranus**
However, it is merely an image of the future.
**[02:27] Uranus**
Images can be rewritten!

Going into a high school makes me so nervous.
**[04:11] Mikuru**
Jeez, what's keeping Slowpoke Cinnamon?
**[04:25] Mikuru**
What's Staring Cinnamon up to?
**[04:28] Mikuru**
Oh...!
**[04:30] Mikuru**
Maybe he just can't confess
his feelings to the girl he likes,
**[04:33] Mikuru**
so he's Stealing-a-Glance Cinnamon!
**[04:42] Mikuru**
Gotta be sneaky...
**[04:52] Mikuru**
The heck?! He's Strolling-Around Cinnamon!
**[05:20] Boy 1**
I attack!
**[05:22] Boy 2**
I guard!
**[05:22] Girl 1**
It's so cute!
**[05:23] Girl 2**
I know!
**[05:27] Shin**
Mikuru?
**[05:28] Shin**
What are you doing at my school?!
**[05:32] Mikuru**
You were supposed to meet me
at the school gate, remember?!
**[05:36] Mikuru**
Misaki is waiting for us!
**[05:38] Shin**
Oh, that's right! Sorry!
**[05:41] Mikuru**
Hey, Shinemon!
**[05:58] Shin**
Sorry, Misaki!
**[05:58] Rive**
I beat you the first time we fought.
**[06:01] Esuka**
You were seriously trying to crush me then!
**[06:09] Shin**
I see...
**[06:10] Shin**
So both Master and Esuka
used to be regulars at Card Capital?
**[06:14] Esuka**
That's "Ms. Esuka" to you.
**[06:18] Esuka**
I owe a lot to Misaki's parents.
**[06:23] Esuka**
After I'd lost my dream,
they helped me find it again.
**[06:31] Misaki**
You made a promise to my father, didn't you?
**[06:36] Mikuru**
A promise?
**[06:37] Mikuru**
To protect Capital or something like that?
**[06:40] Esuka**
If that were the case, would I have
changed the sign to Cardshop Esuka?
**[06:47] Shin**
You heard her.
**[06:49] Shin**
That's the kind of person she is.
**[06:55] Shin**
Don't worry, Misaki.
**[06:57] Shin**
Tomorrow, I'm gonna
defeat her and take back Capital.
**[07:01] Shin**
Just like I promised.
**[07:03] Misaki**
Shin...
**[07:05] Misaki**
Is that what you really want to do?
**[07:09] Shin**
Misaki...
**[07:13] Misaki**
Shin, you don't have to...
**[07:19] Rive**
Well, congrats on getting out of here, Misaki.
**[07:25] Shin**
R-Right. From now on, think of
my house as your home.
**[07:45] Butler**
You decided not to mention this?
**[07:50] Esuka**
No, tomorrow will be fine.
**[07:53] Esuka**
The more surprises, the merrier.
**[07:57] Nanami**
Hey, pay attention here!
**[08:00] Tonori**
You listening? Esuka's deck's
got loads of "Lottery" units, yo.
**[08:05] Nanami**
The skill these units have
activates an ability that differs,
**[08:09] Nanami**
depending on the type of card that's drawn.
**[08:12] Nanami**
Which ability turns up
is in the hands of fate...
**[08:16] Nanami**
Would you pay attention?!
**[08:21] Tonori**
This ain't like you, yo.
**[08:23] Tonori**
You still mean to win tomorrow's fight
and become the manager of Capital, right?
**[08:28] Shin**
Manager, huh?
**[08:30] Shin**
Tonori, what are you gonna be in the future?
**[08:33] Tonori**
I wanna be a pro Vanguard fighter
with a full stomach.
**[08:39] Nanami**
What kind of future is that?!
**[08:41] Shin**
Mark, you're going to college?
**[08:43] Mark**
Right! And then I'll teach Japanese history.
**[08:46] Mark**
While Vanguard is fun,
I find Japanese history just as profound.
**[08:51] Tatsuya**
When you're a high school student,
you consider all kinds of options, huh?
**[08:56] Shin**
I'm gonna become the manager of Capital...
**[09:00] Shin**
...and then...
**[09:03] Tatsuya**
And then...?
**[09:09] Mathilda**
Deploy the Astral Plane?
**[09:11] Pan**
We hear the Astral Plane observatory is here.
**[09:16] Pan**
It's a passage to another universe,
beyond the distant galaxies.
**[09:21] Cecile**
But we merely observe the Astral Plane.
**[09:24] Cecile**
We have no idea what would happen if
we actually connected the observatory to it.
**[09:30] Uranus**
Well, then...
**[09:32] Uranus**
...let's give it a try!
**[09:46] Isabelle**
Stop this! If you don't...
**[09:50] Uranus**
You'll fight us?
**[09:59] MC**
Vanguard fans all across Japan...
nay, the world, thank you for your patience!
**[10:06] MC**
Esuka Hibino. The former Vanguard idol
who once took the world by storm.
**[10:11] MC**
Her ability is authentic.
**[10:14] MC**
And now, the annual dream match between
Esuka and a winner of the Esu Cup will begin!
**[10:24] MC**
Esuka has graciously allowed the venue
to be her opponents' home ground, Card Capital!
**[10:30] Esuka**
It wouldn't be a fair match if I didn't
at least give you an advantage like that.
**[10:35] Shin**
Whatever you say.
**[10:37] Shin**
So, you brought them?
**[10:40] Esuka**
All of the documents regarding Card Capital.
**[10:47] Esuka**
Still... this doesn't make sense, does it?
**[10:52] Esuka**
If you win the fight, you get these.
**[10:55] Esuka**
But if I win, all I get to do is keep them.
**[10:59] Esuka**
It's unfair...
**[11:02] Esuka**
...you know?
**[11:05] Fans**
Ms. Esuka!
**[11:07] Tatsuya**
Fascinating! She does have a point.
**[11:13] Shin**
Then if you win, I'll do whatever you say.
**[11:18] Esuka**
Perhaps I'll make you debut as an idol.
**[11:25] Rive**
That would be funny.
**[11:27] Rive**
But if *you* lose, you've gotta do
whatever Shinemon says.
**[11:33] Esuka**
I'm sure to win, so it doesn't matter.
**[11:37] Esuka**
I accept that condition!
**[11:44] Tatsuya**
Wait, that's...
**[11:46] Fans**
Ms. Esuka!!
**[11:48] Tatsuya**
That's Esuka's favorite dress! She wore it when
she went from swimsuit model to Vanguard idol!
**[11:55] Tatsuya**
Fascinating!
**[11:57] Esuka**
So, let's begin.
**[12:02] Shin**
Capital is the place where we hang out!
**[12:05] Esuka**
Capital is *mine.*
**[12:08] Shin**
It's the place where we play!
**[12:10] Shin**
And it's the place I'm going to protect!
**[12:13] Esuka**
It's the place that an *adult*
will protect for *children* to play in!
**[12:17] Shin**
I'm Shinemon Nitta!
**[12:19] Esuka**
Vanguard idol, Esuka Hibino!
**[12:22] The Two**
Bring it on!
**[12:40] Esuka**
I ride!
**[12:43] Esuka**
Prober of Black Jet, Cecile!
**[12:46] Esuka**
That ends my turn.
**[12:50] Shin**
I ride!
**[12:54] Shin**
Atlas of Heavenly Sphere!
**[12:55] Shin**
Stand aside, for the sake of our ideals!
**[13:04] Esuka**
I ride!
**[13:07] Esuka**
Scientist of Black Sheen, Mathilda!
**[13:11] Esuka**
I don't care if they are deities.
**[13:14] Esuka**
I won't allow breaking the law.
**[13:18] MC**
And now it's Esuka's turn!
**[13:20] MC**
This is where Mathilda's skill activates!
**[13:23] Tonori**
Without delay, yo.
**[13:27] Shin**
The lottery...
**[13:34] MC**
A trigger!
**[13:35] MC**
Mathilda gets an extra critical!
**[13:38] Fans**
Hip! Hip! Hooray!
**[13:42] Shin**
Keep your cool, Shinemon.
**[13:44] Shin**
Yeah. This drawing is in the hands of fate.
**[13:49] Shin**
It's nothing to worry about.
**[13:53] Esuka**
People get to decide on
what will be important in their lives.
**[13:58] Esuka**
You believe that, right?
**[14:01] Shin**
Yeah, of course!
That's why I'm here now!
**[14:03] Esuka**
And that's why you're a child.
**[14:08] Shin**
Again with that?!
**[14:10] Esuka**
You know I used to be an idol, right?
**[14:21] Esuka**
I didn't decide to become an idol.
**[14:26] Esuka**
I was scouted by someone
connected with my father's work.
***SIGN*** Esuka Hibino Photo Album Hand-Off
**[14:35] Esuka**
One day, while wondering to myself
if I'd continue working as an idol...
**[14:41] Esuka**
Cardfight Vanguard?
**[14:44] Manager**
It's really popular right now!
**[14:46] Manager**
And there are a lot of Vanguard shows,
so this would be a great career move.
**[14:50] Esuka**
But isn't it a game for boys?
**[14:54] Manager**
Plenty of girls are into it, too.
**[14:56] Manager**
Esuka, you're so smart that it
sometimes comes off as coldness.
**[15:01] Manager**
This would help make you more approachable.
**[15:07] Man**
Good luck!
**[15:08] Esuka**
Um... I attack your Vanguard?
**[15:09] Man**
Yeah! That's the way!
**[15:13] Opponent**
No guard.
**[15:15] Esuka**
I won!
**[15:16] Esuka**
I won the match!
**[15:22] Manager**
Nice! Love that childlike smile!
**[15:27] Tatsuya**
When Esuka changed course by becoming
a Vanguard idol, her popularity skyrocketed.
**[15:33] Rive**
I don't even watch TV,
but I still found out about her.
**[15:37] Esuka**
For the first time, I thought my job was fun.
**[15:41] Esuka**
When I imagined myself riding
all the different sorts of things in Vanguard,
**[15:48] Esuka**
I felt a sense of freedom:
from my home life, and from the world.
**[15:56] Esuka**
But ironically, even though I'd gotten
absorbed in something for the first time...
**[16:02] Nanami**
What happened?
**[16:05] Esuka**
I got the message that idols are just idols.
**[16:13] Esuka**
Hey, I won again!
**[16:16] Manager**
Thank you very much!
**[16:18] Talent**
Did I do a good job of losing?
**[16:21] Manager**
You were perfect!
**[16:23] Manager**
Once again, thanks.
**[16:25] Manager**
I'll contact you soon for another--
**[16:31] Manager**
Esuka, wait!
**[16:38] Esuka**
My wins had been handed to me.
**[16:41] Esuka**
I was an artificial idol.
**[16:46] Esuka**
My Vanguard career was nothing but a sham.
**[16:58] Esuka**
I retired as an idol and
had nothing to do, until one day...
**[17:11] Esuka**
Excuse me, is it okay
if I wait out the rain here?
**[17:17] Father**
How about passing the time with a fight?
**[17:23] Esuka**
It was only then that
I realized it was a card shop.
**[17:30] Esuka**
I don't have the right to play Vanguard...
**[17:35] Father**
"The right"? Well, neither do I. No one does.
**[17:44] Mother**
If you like Vanguard, then that's enough.
**[17:55] Esuka**

After that, I seriously got into Vanguard.
**[18:11] Esuka**
Wanting to build a shop
where girls could also enjoy playing,
**[18:14] Esuka**
I eventually found myself
focusing on shop management.
**[18:21] Esuka**
Do you understand, Shinemon?
**[18:23] Esuka**
I didn't choose any of it myself.
**[18:27] Esuka**
Idolhood, playing Vanguard, running a shop...
**[18:31] Esuka**
They all just happened to me, like a lottery.
**[18:35] Esuka**
I didn't know what would come next.
**[18:42] Esuka**
Every adult knows that life is like that.
**[18:49] Shin**
But I chose this for myself!
**[18:52] Shin**
That I'd protect Capital!
**[18:54] Esuka**
If I win this, it's the same as
you getting a dud in a drawing.
**[19:00] Esuka**
I call Silver Wolf!
**[19:03] MC**
The fight resumes with Esuka's attack!
**[19:07] Esuka**
Mathilda attacks, boosted by Silver Wolf!
**[19:17] Shin**
I ride!
**[19:19] Shin**
Prometheus of Dancing Lights!
**[19:21] Shin**
Parthenos! Diana!
**[19:28] Shin**
Let's go!
**[19:34] MC**
With the effect of the critical trigger,
Nitta does an additional 2 damage!
**[19:41] Shin**
This is bad! It's a repeat of our last match!
**[19:46] Shin**
It's like Esuka's forcing me
to fight the way she wants!
**[19:54] Rive**
Misaki?!
**[20:01] Rive**
Try to imagine it.
**[20:05] Esuka**
Learn well, with wisdom and knowledge,
the truth of all creation!
**[20:12] Esuka**
I ride!
**[20:14] Esuka**
Holy Great Sage of Black Shadows, Isabelle!
**[20:19] Rive**
This is the planet Cray.
**[20:22] Rive**
There's Great Nature, an animal university,
and Genesis, a corporation of deities.
**[20:29] Rive**
The young deities of Genesis want to open
the door to a place known as the Astral Plane.
**[20:36] Rive**
However, Great Nature is opposed to that plan.
**[20:40] Rive**
No one knows what dangers await
in a mysterious new world.
**[20:45] Rive**
The animals of Great Nature are adults,
so they're well aware of the risk involved.
**[20:50] Misaki**
Is that a true story?
**[20:54] Rive**
Well...
**[20:56] Rive**
Who knows?
**[20:59] Shin**
No matter what you say...
**[21:02] Shin**
...life isn't some lottery,
where you never know what'll happen!
**[21:08] Shin**
I'm going to choose for myself!
**[21:16] Esuka**
Oh, really?
**[21:18] Esuka**
Then I'll let you choose.
**[21:21] Shin**
What's that?
**[21:23] Esuka**
Your invitation to the Vanguard World League.
The organizers witnessed the Esu Cup finals.
**[21:29] Tatsuya**
Wow! Any fighter would love
to go on that one-year world tour!
**[21:35] Shin**
A whole year?!
**[21:37] Esuka**
For those who succeed on this tour,
fighting numerous battles all across the world,
**[21:41] Esuka**
the door to going pro wide open.
**[21:44] Mikuru**
But if you were away from Japan for a year,
**[21:47] Mikuru**
what would happen to Capital?
**[21:52] Esuka**
This isn't a lottery.
**[22:03] Esuka**
Make your choice, Shinemon Nitta!
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Great Nature's
shock-troops commander, Binoculus Tiger!
***SIGN*** Binoculus Tiger
**[23:55] Narrator**
When it attacks the Vanguard, perform a
Counterblast to activate the "Lottery" skill.
**[24:01] Narrator**
If the lottery card you flip over
is a normal unit, draw a card.
**[24:04] Narrator**
If it's a trigger unit, retire one
of your opponent's rear-guards,
**[24:08] Narrator**
and then your front row
rear-guards will get stronger.
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard
**[24:16] Reporter**
As usual, there are many tourists
from other countries here at Centrair.
**[24:20] Reporter**
Hello there!
**[24:21] Mark**
Who, me?
**[24:22] Reporter**
Why have you come to Japan?
**[24:24] Mark**
To see Sekigahara, of course.
**[24:26] Mark**
Ninja, harakiri, geisha, sukiyaki, Sekigahara!
**[24:29] Reporter**
Um, what are you planning to do at Sekigahara?
**[24:32] Mark**
Isn't it obvious?
**[24:34] Mark**
It's where Ishida Mitsunari's western force
clashed with Tokugawa Ieyasu's eastern force,
**[24:38] Mark**
so I'll play Vanguard there.
**[24:39] Reporter**
Vanguard?

**[00:02] Uranus**
There is a legend stating
that Elementals still exist,
**[00:06] Uranus**
flitting about the place known as
the Astral Plane, at the end of the galaxy.
**[00:10] Uranus**
If that be true, then I wish to capture
a Galaxy Elemental with my own hand!
**[00:20] Esuka**
This isn't a lottery.
**[00:31] Esuka**
Make your choice, Shinemon Nitta!
**[00:38] Shin**
What should I do?
**[00:40] Shin**
If I choose Capital,
I can't go on the world tour.
**[00:43] Shin**
But if I choose otherwise, Capital will...
***SIGN*** Remind 17 True Passion
**[02:23] Shin**
What should I do?
**[02:25] Shin**
If I choose Capital,
I can't go on the world tour.
**[02:28] Shin**
But if I choose otherwise, Capital will...
**[02:33] Esuka**
You only get that choice if you beat me!
**[02:37] Esuka**
Binoculus Tiger attacks your Vanguard!
**[02:43] Esuka**
Binoculus Tiger's skill activates!
**[02:46] MC**
Binoculus Tiger also has the "Lottery" skill!
**[02:50] MC**
If the card she draws is normal,
she can draw a card.
**[02:53] MC**
If it's a trigger, she can retire
one of her opponent's rear-guards,
**[02:57] MC**
and three of her units will get stronger.
**[03:00] Tatsuya**
If she draws a trigger,
it may be tough for him to guard!
**[03:05] MC**
It's a normal unit!
**[03:07] Esuka**
It didn't go the way I preferred,
but I have to accept the result.
**[03:12] Esuka**
That's how life works.
**[03:14] Shin**
Don't patronize me!
**[03:16] Shin**
I guard!
**[03:18] Shin**
Cyber Tiger!
**[03:20] Esuka**
Silver Wolf, come with me!
**[03:22] Silver Wolf**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[03:25] Esuka**
Drive check!
**[03:30] Mark**
A heal trigger!
**[03:32] Esuka**
I give the power to Geograph Giant!
**[03:38] Esuka**
Geograph Giant!
**[03:45] Shin**
Damage check!
**[03:48] Mikuru**
4 damage!
**[03:50] MC**
Well, now it's Shinemon Nitta's turn...
**[03:57] Shin**
Misaki...?
**[03:59] Shin**
I'm just warming up. Watch me.
**[04:01] Misaki**
Shin...
**[04:02] Misaki**
What is your true passion?
**[04:06] Misaki**
Is running this shop what you most want to do?
**[04:11] Shin**
Misaki...
**[04:14] Misaki**
If you're only doing it for my sake, then...
**[04:17] Misaki**
...it's my fault that you're not
following your true passion!
**[04:23] Esuka**
It's like I told you.
**[04:25] Esuka**
Make sure that you can say
you're doing this for yourself.
**[04:28] Esuka**
While it's cool to say it's for someone else,
have you ever considered that person's feelings?
**[04:35] Esuka**
How would *you* feel if someone told you,
"I'm giving up my future, all for your sake"?
**[04:45] Shin**
I... I...
**[04:48] Shin**
I ride Gleaming Lord, Uranus!
**[04:53] Shin**
The entirety of destiny is inscribed
within the blinding darkness!
**[04:58] Shin**
And I am the one who recites it!
**[05:00] Shin**
Invited or not...
**[05:02] Shin**
Gleaming Lord, Uranus!
**[05:05] Shin**
Imaginary Gift, Force I!
**[05:08] Shin**
Uranus's skill activates!
**[05:10] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[05:13] Shin**
Also, Atlas! Parthenos!
**[05:16] MC**
Atlas's skill! By putting Atlas in the Soul...
**[05:20] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[05:23] Mikuru**
That makes three Gifts!
**[05:25] Tatsuya**
No, he's also got the one from
the previous turn, so that's four Gifts!
**[05:29] Shin**
I call Atlas again!
**[05:33] MC**
Whoa! He had another one!
**[05:36] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[05:38] Shin**
That's the fifth gift!
**[05:41] Shin**
Believe in me, Misaki!
**[05:43] Shin**
I'm going to protect this shop, Capital!
**[05:46] Shin**
For your sake!
**[05:49] Shin**
And for my own sake, too!
**[05:51] Shin**
Along with my partner!
**[05:53] Shin**
Circle Shift! Astral Plane!
**[06:04] Uranus**
Elementals! Return to our planet Cray!
**[06:14] Shin**
And standing on that Astral Plane...
**[06:24] Shin**
Rewrite the imagination...
**[06:28] Shin**
...O great planetary guardian deity!
**[06:31] Shin**
Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
**[06:41] Shin**
Its skill activates!
**[06:44] Shin**
Twin drive!
**[06:45] Mark&Tatsuya**
Go, Valkerion!
**[06:47] Shin**
Parthenos! Attack Binoculus!
**[06:50] Parthenos**
Leave it to me!
**[06:56] MC**
He first retires Binoculus, which can intercept!
**[07:00] Shin**
Now I'll go!
**[07:05] Shin**
Drive check!
**[07:10] Tatsuya**
A heal trigger!
**[07:11] Tatsuya**
He heals 1 damage point!
**[07:13] Esuka**
Damage check!
**[07:16] MC**
That's a front trigger!
**[07:18] MC**
All of Esuka's front-row units gain 10,000 power!
**[07:22] MC**
But she's now at 3 damage, tied with Nitta!
**[07:26] Mark**
And he still has Valkerion!
**[07:32] Shin**
Valkerion! Zodiac Blazer!
**[07:40] Esuka**
Come, Cable Sheep!
**[07:42] MC**
There it is! Cable Sheep's skill is...
**[07:46] Esuka**
Perfect guard.
**[07:50] Shin**
First check!
**[07:52] Mark**
But even though he got a critical...
**[07:54] Shin**
I give all of the effects to Parthenos!
**[07:57] Shin**
Second check!
**[07:59] MC**
Wowsers! Before a perfect guard,
even Valkerion is at a loss!
**[08:06] Shin**
I still have Parthenos!
**[08:08] Tatsuya**
Between Parthenos, Diana's boosting,
and the critical, the power is 37,000!
**[08:14] Tonori**
If he doesn't deal at least 1 more damage...
**[08:18] Esuka**
Dictionary Goat guards!
**[08:21] Tatsuya**
42,000!
**[08:23] MC**
Ouch! Shinemon Nitta's
final attack is also a dud,
**[08:28] MC**
meaning he dealt a measly 1 damage this turn!
**[08:33] MC**
And as the turn ends,
Valkerion returns to the deck!
**[08:41] Uranus**
Galaxy Elemental...
**[08:44] Uranus**
With this hand, I shall...
**[08:54] Prometheus**
Are you injured, Gleaming Lord?
**[08:57] Uranus**
If but briefly, I had it in my hand.
**[09:02] Isabelle**
However much you
desire them, some things...
**[09:05] Isabelle**
...are unobtainable.
**[09:22] Shin**
Why...? I had Capital right in my hand.
**[09:26] Mikuru**
But is it what you actually wanted?
**[09:29] Mikuru**
Misaki's right.
**[09:32] Mikuru**
Just what is your true passion?
**[09:35] Shin**
I...
**[09:37] Misaki**
Shin, imagine your future as you wish it to be.
**[09:45] Shin**
What's that look for?
**[09:50] Esuka**
Stand and draw.
**[09:53] Esuka**
I ride Isabelle again!
**[10:00] Esuka**
I get an Imaginary Gift, Accel II!
**[10:05] MC**
Whoa! Esuka has unleashed a second Accel Circle!
**[10:10] Esuka**
Its skill activates!
**[10:11] Nanami**
No more "Lottery" with Isabelle!
**[10:14] Nanami**
She's using both abilities at the same time!
**[10:16] Esuka**
Silver Wolf joins my hand.
**[10:18] Esuka**
And now, Isabelle gains +15,000 power!
**[10:22] Esuka**
Geograph Giant! Mathilda!
**[10:26] Esuka**
With Isabelle's skill, I can activate
either ability of any Lottery unit.
**[10:32] Esuka**
Including Mathilda's, of course.
**[10:35] MC**
Now her opponent can only guard against
Mathilda's attack with two or more cards,
**[10:40] MC**
and at the same time,
Mathilda gains an extra critical!
**[10:43] Esuka**
Isabelle...
**[10:44] Esuka**
...attacks!
**[10:46] Esuka**
Silver Wolf boosts!
**[10:48] Shin**
No guard!
**[10:50] Esuka**
Drive check!
**[10:51] Esuka**
First check.
**[10:53] Tonori**
A critical, yo!
**[10:55] Esuka**
I give the power to my left Geograph Giant
and the extra critical to Isabelle.
**[10:59] Esuka**
Second check.
**[11:01] MC**
The second one is a heal trigger!
**[11:03] Esuka**
I give the power to
my right Geograph Giant.
**[11:15] Nanami**
5 damage.
**[11:16] Tonori**
And Esuka's damage's back down to 2, yo.
**[11:19] Tonori**
I think it's all over.
**[11:21] Nanami**
Ms. Esuka!
**[11:22] Esuka**
What? Are you going to
ask me to take it easy on him?
**[11:27] Nanami**
Please tell me one thing.
**[11:29] Nanami**
Why do you want Capital so much?
**[11:31] Nanami**
It's just one shop.
**[11:34] Esuka**
I told you before.
**[11:35] Esuka**
I owe the couple who previously owned this shop.
**[11:39] Esuka**
Left to him, it's sure to go out of business.
**[11:42] Nanami**
But there's more to it.
**[11:43] Nanami**
It's felt like you've had something
against Shinemon since the beginning.
**[11:50] Esuka**
Back when I first got the
ball rolling with Esuka Group...
**[11:54] Esuka**
Wow, so this is your little brother?
**[11:57] Manager**
He's still in high school, but he fights
like he was born to enjoy Vanguard.
**[12:06] Esuka**
Maybe he'll have a future
as a pro Vanguard fighter.
**[12:10] Manager**
Who knows with him?
**[12:12] Manager**
Esuka, would you take him under your wing?
**[12:20] Esuka**
But then, before we could meet again...
**[12:24] Esuka**
So that's the first and last favor
the manager ever asked of me.
**[12:29] Shin**
Then your promise to the manager was...
**[12:32] Nanami**
B-But then, why have you
blocked Shinemon at every turn?!
**[12:36] Esuka**
Shinemon is still in high school.
**[12:39] Esuka**
He shouldn't give up on
his true passion in life.
**[12:43] Esuka**
Helping him realize that is
my way of "taking him under my wing."
**[12:48] Tatsuya**
Um, I'm not sure I follow...
**[12:52] Mark**
She means it was all for Shinemon's sake.
**[12:57] Esuka**
1 more damage, and you can
finally follow your true passion.
**[13:04] Esuka**
Geograph Giant attacks your Vanguard!
**[13:09] MC**
With Accel Circle and a skill,
**[13:11] MC**
plus the earlier trigger bonus,
that makes 32,000 power!
**[13:16] Shin**
I guard with Kukurihime!
**[13:19] MC**
28,000! It still isn't enough!
**[13:22] Shin**
I'm counting on you, Parthenos!
**[13:24] Parthenos**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[13:28] Esuka**
However, I still have one more Geograph Giant!
**[13:31] Shin**
Kukurihime and Parthenos!
**[13:36] Esuka**
You're so tenacious...
**[13:38] Esuka**
Make it easy on yourself, already!
**[13:41] Shin**
Sheesh. I'm grateful, really.
**[13:44] Shin**
To Misaki...
**[13:45] Shin**
...and Mikuru...
**[13:47] Shin**
...and even you, Esuka!
**[13:48] Shin**
You're all concerned about my future.
**[13:51] Mikuru**
I can see why you'd want to
protect Capital for Misaki's sake.
**[13:55] Mikuru**
But your future's a different matter, Shinemon!
**[13:59] Misaki**
Follow your true passion, please...
**[14:02] Shin**
You've got me wrong!
**[14:05] Shin**
Yes, I'm conflicted.
**[14:07] Shin**
But it's not because I have
something else as my passion.
**[14:11] Shin**
It's because I *don't!*
**[14:14] Mark**
Shinemon...
**[14:16] Shin**
I have no idea what my true passion is.
**[14:22] Esuka**
So then, protecting Capital...
**[14:24] Esuka**
...has just been your excuse for not
making the effort to find that passion!
**[14:29] Esuka**
This will eliminate that concern, too!
**[14:32] Esuka**
Mathilda attacks!
**[14:35] MC**
There it is! To guard against Mathilda,
he has to use two or more cards!
**[14:41] MC**
What will Nitta do?!
**[14:44] Shin**
I guard!
**[14:45] MC**
His guard succeeded!
**[14:47] MC**
But Nitta has 5 damage, two units in play,
and only one card in his hand!
**[14:56] Isabelle**
It's not just us.
**[14:58] Isabelle**
Long ago, many people
sought out the Elementals...
**[15:02] Isabelle**
...but it was just a waste of time.
**[15:05] Isabelle**
So...
**[15:09] Pan**
Hey, that's...
**[15:14] Pan**
...Astraios Dragon!
**[15:17] Cecile**
No way... Quaking Heavenly Dragon,
Astraios Dragon is an ancient deity...
**[15:22] Cecile**
They're supposed to be extinct...
**[15:25] Astraios Dragon**
Indeed. I am this world's
last Quaking Heavenly Dragon.
**[15:30] Isabelle**
What an honor...
**[15:31] Isabelle**
The former Astral Poet Deity, said to have
shaken the furthest reaches of the galaxy.
**[15:37] Isabelle**
Still, why now?
**[15:38] Astraios Dragon**
Using thy science and my power,
open the Astral Plane once again.
**[15:45] Isabelle**
You want the experiment to continue?
**[15:47] Isabelle**
But it's impossible to gather
the Galaxy Elementals.
**[15:51] Isabelle**
You must know that
better than anyone, so why?
**[15:56] Astraios**
What even we could not accomplish,
might someday be possible for the young.
**[16:01] Astraios**
Is that not the object of history?
**[16:06] Uranus**
I *will* catch one!
**[16:08] Uranus**
Catch an Elemental, in this very hand!
**[16:12] Shin**
Stand and draw!
**[16:14] Shin**
I ride!
**[16:20] Esuka**
What is this?!
**[16:22] Shin**
Quaking Heavenly Dragon, Astraios Dragon!
**[16:27] Shin**
Imaginary Gift, Force I!
**[16:30] Shin**
Something I need to protect?
**[16:32] Shin**
I have nothing like that,
**[16:34] Shin**
and I never thought I did.
**[16:36] Shin**
Except for one thing!
**[16:39] Shin**
When Misaki was born, I made a vow...
**[16:44] Shin**
...that she would always be able to smile.
**[16:52] Shin**
Yes. This isn't about "someone else."
**[16:55] Shin**
To keep that promise I made to *myself*,
**[16:59] Shin**
I deploy the Astral Plane again!
**[17:01] Shin**
O great planetary guardian deity!
**[17:05] Shin**
Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
**[17:11] Astraios**
Catch it, Uranus!
**[17:19] Uranus**
The Elementals are gathering...
**[17:22] Uranus**
It's as if they are taking on humanoid form!
**[17:29] MC**
Valkerion's skill!
**[17:31] MC**
He looks at the top five cards of his deck,
**[17:33] MC**
and gets as many drives as the
highest grade among those cards!
**[17:38] MC**
My goodness! A Valkerion!
**[17:41] MC**
A *third* Valkerion!
**[17:44] MC**
Valkerion's grade is...
**[17:46] Esuka**
Five. Quintet drive.
**[17:50] Tatsuya**
He can do five drive checks!
**[17:53] Shin**
Valkerion attacks your Vanguard!
**[17:57] MC**
Valkerion has 70,000 power!
**[17:59] MC**
With the additional Gift, it's 80,000! Amazing!
**[18:04] Esuka**
No guard.
**[18:06] Shin**
Valkerion!
**[18:07] Shin**
Zodiac Blazer Quintet!
**[18:12] Shin**
First check!
**[18:14] Shin**
Second check!
**[18:17] Shin**
Third check!
**[18:20] Shin**
Fourth check!
**[18:22] Shin**
Fifth check!
**[18:25] MC**
A t-triple critical trigger!
**[18:28] MC**
That's 4 damage!
**[18:30] MC**
Now it all rides on whether or not
Esuka can draw a heal trigger!
**[18:35] Esuka**
First check.
**[18:37] Esuka**
Second check.
**[18:40] Esuka**
Third check.
**[18:42] Nanami**
5 damage!
**[18:44] MC**
What will the final check bring?!
**[18:51] MC**
No trigger!
**[18:53] MC**
Should this even be possible?!
**[19:07] MC**
Shinemon Nitta has defeated Esuka Hibino!
**[19:11] MC**
This shop, Card Capital, now belongs to Nitta!
**[19:20] Esuka**
And all I wanted to do was set you free.
**[19:26] Shin**
Mark! Master! We're going on a world tour!
**[19:30] Shin**
Oh, I almost forgot.
**[19:32] Shin**
I choose *both!*
**[19:35] Nanami**
Hey, that's going too far...
**[19:37] Rive**
You did promise to do
whatever he said if you lost.
**[19:41] Shin**
I want to try everything,
**[19:44] Shin**
until I know what my true passion is!
**[19:47] Misaki**
Good.
**[19:48] Esuka**
That's fine. Open it.
**[19:53] Shin**
What is this?
**[19:55] Shin**
"Card Capital Apprentice Manager Contract"?
**[19:58] Esuka**
You and I are entering into
a contract, Shinemon Nitta.
**[20:01] Esuka**
While you're on the world tour...
**[20:04] Esuka**
I'll be managing this shop.
**[20:07] Nanami**
Ms. Esuka!
**[20:09] Esuka**
And one more thing.
**[20:11] Esuka**
The black envelope.
**[20:12] Shin**
What's this? A college application?!
**[20:15] Esuka**
Didn't you know?
**[20:16] Esuka**
To participate in the world tour,
you must be at least age 20, or in college.
**[20:21] Esuka**
You can't go unless you
become a college student.
**[20:24] Shin**
I can't do entrance exams now!
**[20:27] Shin**
What about the shop, and the tour?!
**[20:28] Mikuru**
Just do it, Exam-Taker Cinnamon!
**[20:31] Shin**
Easy for *you* to say!
**[20:33] Shin**
How can I, when I've got a 20 in English,
a 35 in Math and 40 in Japanese?!
**[20:38] Shin**
How could you tell me to take entrance exams?!
**[20:46] Shin**
M-Misaki's laughing!
**[20:52] Shin**
Th-Th-This is wonderful!
**[20:57] Shin**
After what happened, all I've wanted
was to see you smile again, Misaki!
**[21:00] Mikuru**
She has, though.
**[21:02] Rive**
Yeah, she's smiled
in front of us once in a while.
**[21:07] Mark**
I've seen her smile, too.
**[21:10] Mikuru**
She probably just hated you.
**[21:12] Shin**
Oh, Misaki...
**[21:15] Misaki**
No, that's not why.
**[21:17] Misaki**
I always felt worried
whenever I was around Shin, so...
**[21:24] Shin**
*That* was why?
**[21:28] Shin**
Thank goodness!
**[21:31] Shin**
Oh, thank goodness...
**[21:34] Shin**
Misaki...
**[21:46] Uranus**
What is this?
**[21:47] Astraios**
The Galaxy Elementals have
become one: a spirit of the stars.
**[21:51] Astraios**
Nay, an Astral Deity.
**[21:55] Isabelle**
O young deity,
together with this Astral Deity,
**[21:59] Isabelle**
grant us guidance with
the power of your imagination.
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Esuka's
Scientist of Black Sheen, Mathilda!
***SIGN*** Scientist of Black Sheen, Mathilda
**[23:56] Narrator**
When this unit appears,
its Lottery skill activates!
**[24:00] Narrator**
But if the Vanguard is Isabelle,
which can activate both its Lottery skills,
**[24:04] Narrator**
then both this unit's skills--guard restriction
and extra critical--can be activated together!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Misaki**
Uncle Rive, your story about the Genesis deities
and the Great Nature fox was very interesting!
**[24:21] Rive**
Glad to hear it, Misaki!
**[24:22] Misaki**
Tell me, where did you hear that story?
**[24:24] Misaki**
It felt as if you'd visited Cray
and seen it with your own eyes!
**[24:27] Rive**
All Vanguard fighters use their imaginations.
**[24:30] Rive**
You can use the clans and units to come up
with your own stories... or help set the scene.
**[24:33] Misaki**
You thought up that whole story yourself?
**[24:36] Rive**
Well, you could say that...
**[24:37] Misaki**
So it was all in your head?
Imaginary? Cooked-up?
***SIGN*** Remind 18

**[24:40] Misaki**
Are you always thinking up stuff like that?
**[24:42] Rive**
When you put it that way...

Today is Christmas Eve.
**[00:06] Radio**
The weather may
leave much to be desired,
**[00:08] Radio**
but from the look of the sky,
we may well have a white Christmas.
**[00:13] Radio**
Who are you spending it with?
**[00:15] Radio**
Family? A sweetheart?
**[00:17] Radio**
Or perhaps some of you are
throwing a big party, with just the guys?
**[00:22] Radio**
On the other hand, many examinees
have no time for any of that...

"Card Capital Apprentice Manager Contract"?
**[00:30] Esuka**
You and I are entering into
a contract, Shinemon Nitta.
**[00:33] Esuka**
While you're on the world tour,
I'll be managing this shop.
**[00:39] Shin**
What's this? A college application?!
**[00:41] Esuka**
Didn't you know?
**[00:43] Esuka**
To participate in the world tour,

**[00:48] Esuka**
You can't go unless you

**[00:52] Shin**
I'll do it!
**[00:53] Radio**
Some of you may be watching this person.
**[00:56] Radio**
Tonight is the final concert
for popular idol Hitomi Kouzouji,
***SIGN*** Examinee Radio
**[01:01] Radio**
who recently announced her retirement.
**[01:04] Radio**
Surely many fans will be there
to give her warm encouragement.
**[01:06] Shin**
Hitomi Kouzouji...
**[01:09] Radio**
So let's listen to this,
**[01:11] Radio**
Hitomi Kouzouji's last single:
**[01:13] Mark**
Hitomi!
**[01:13] Radio**
"Mermai"--
**[01:17] Shin**
Mark?!
**[01:19] Shin**
I purposely holed up in Capital
so I could study someplace quiet!
**[01:24] Shin**
Don't just barge in!
**[01:26] Shin**
Hey, Mark!
**[01:29] Mark**
I really wanted to go to
Princess Hitomi's last concert!
**[01:34] Shin**
Why is the shop open?
**[01:37] Shin**
The strength of imagination!
**[01:40] Shin**
That's the strength of Vanguard!
**[01:45] Shin**
Don't get dominated by
your opponent's imagination!
**[01:48] Shin**
Rewrite that imagination!
***SIGN*** Remind 18 Examinees' Merry Christmas
**[03:27] Shin**
A Christmas opening? But why?
**[03:31] Tatsuya**
"But why?"
**[03:33] Mikuru**
Don't you remember?
**[03:35] Esuka**
As I expected.
**[03:39] Shin**
E-Esuka...
**[03:41] Esuka**
"Ms. Esuka" to you.
**[03:42] Esuka**
The parties concerned gathered here
a week ago to discuss it, remember?
**[03:48] Shin**
Now that you mention it,
I kind of recall... but it's hazy.
***SIGN*** One Week Ago
**[03:54] All**
A limited opening?!
**[03:56] Esuka**
Yes. The shop will be open for a limited time.
Just two days, Christmas Eve and Day.
**[04:02] Shin**
Bite, bitter, bivouac, black...
**[04:02] Esuka**
I have two goals here:
**[04:04] Esuka**
The first is to inform the regular customers
**[04:07] Esuka**
that this shop is still in business
and will officially reopen next year.
**[04:11] Rive**
That's if Shinemon passes, right?
**[04:15] Esuka**
If not, only the shop name will change.
**[04:18] Esuka**
The second is purely for business reasons.
**[04:21] Esuka**
Sales go up during the Christmas season.
**[04:24] Mark**
Then we will be selling cards
and merchandise this time?
**[04:28] Esuka**
Correct. That's why
I'll be putting all of you to work.
**[04:32] Esuka**
We can't have the "school festival"
feel of your Halloween event.
**[04:36] Tatsuya**
Understood.
**[04:37] Mikuru**
Is our examinee, Shinemon,
expected to help too?
**[04:42] Esuka**
No, that would be cruel.
**[04:45] Esuka**
Just the four of us will handle it.
**[04:47] Esuka**
So while the shop will be open on Christmas,
**[04:50] Esuka**
All you need to do is study, Shinemon Nitta!
**[04:54] Shin**
Sure...
**[04:57] Shin**
Huh? That was about today?
**[05:00] Misaki**
Shin!
**[05:02] Shin**
Misaki! You're here, too?
That Santa suit looks good on you.
**[05:07] Misaki**
Do your best with your studies.
**[05:11] Shin**
Gotcha!
**[05:21] Shin**
Yeah! I got 'em all right!
**[05:25] Shin**
N-Nanami... You're here?
**[05:27] Nanami**
W-Well, yeah...
**[05:29] Shin**
What's that?
**[05:32] Nanami**
I found some cake for cheap...
**[05:34] Nanami**
You can have it if you like.
**[05:37] Shin**
Wow, thanks!
**[05:38] Shin**
I *was* feeling hungry.
**[05:40] Nanami**
So... um...
**[05:42] Tonori**
Somethin' smells good, yo.
**[05:44] Tonori**
Didn't that cake shop win
some worldwide sweets competition?
**[05:49] Tonori**
Can I have some?
**[05:50] Shin**
Sure, let's split it.
**[05:52] Nanami**
Get lost!
**[05:56] Nanami**
Study hard and eat that cake!
**[05:59] Shin**
O-Okay...
**[06:02] Radio**
Trains, buses and other public transportation
are currently running more or less on time.
**[06:08] Radio**
Stay tuned for later traffic reports.
And now, on to our next segment.
**[06:10] Rive**
The heck?! I wouldn't call that studying!
**[06:14] Rive**
Well, I guess it's impossible
to study during Christmas.
**[06:18] Shin**
Master!
**[06:20] Shin**
I was only taking a short break.
I was studying hard before that!
**[06:24] Rive**
From my experience,
I've learned that at a time like this,
**[06:27] Rive**
it's good to take a mental break
by doing something fun instead.
**[06:30] Shin**
But I've got to pass the
entrance exam this school year!
**[06:33] Shin**
There's no time for fun! So get out!
**[06:35] Rive**
Are you serious?
**[06:36] Shin**
Of course I'm serious!
**[06:38] Rive**
Then prove it to me!
**[06:40] Shin**
I was hoping you'd say that!
**[06:42] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[06:47] Oyama**
Merry Christmas!
**[06:49] Tatsuya**
Oyama! Kanzaki!
**[06:51] Esuka**
Welcome to Card Capital!
**[06:53] Oyama**
Thanks for the invitation!
**[06:55] Mark**
I didn't think you two would actually come!
**[06:57] Mark**
I'm touched!
**[06:59] Kanzaki**
It's not like I wanted to come.
**[07:02] Kanzaki**
I ran into him at the station,
and he dragged me here.
**[07:05] Oyama**
Like they say, chance meetings are preordained.
**[07:08] Customer**
Wow! Ryutarou Oyama and Yuichirou Kanzaki!
**[07:11] Customer**
I never imagined I'd see them here!
**[07:13] Oyama**
So, uh, where's the kid who beat you, Esuka?
**[07:16] Mikuru**
Shinemon is upstairs, studying for
his university entrance exam.
**[07:20] Oyama**
Oh, an examinee, is he?
**[07:23] Kanzaki**
Where's Rive Shindou?
**[07:24] Mark**
Rive is...
**[07:26] Tatsuya**
A while ago, he said he was
going up to check on Shinemon.
**[07:31] Mikuru**
How long of "a while ago"?
**[07:33] Misaki**
Two hours and 13 minutes.
**[07:35] Mark**
Over two hours?
**[07:37] Mark**
I have a bad feeling about this.
**[07:42] Shin**
Not again!
**[07:44] Mark**
What are you doing, Shinemon?!
**[07:47] Shin**
Huh...? Vanguard, of course.
**[07:50] Shin**
Wait, I shouldn't be playing
Vanguard at a time like this!
**[07:51] Mark**
Study for your entrance exam!
**[07:54] Rive**
Don't be such a party pooper.
**[07:56] Rive**
He should get to take a short break.
**[07:59] Mark**
How many hours is this
"short break" going to be?!
**[08:03] Mark**
Rive, the team you played against
in the Esu Cup finals is downstairs.
**[08:09] Rive**
Ruga Kaizu?
**[08:12] Rive**
Oh, I have work tonight! See you!
**[08:16] Shin**
Master!
**[08:18] Shin**
Are all three of them here?
**[08:20] Mark**
Just Oyama and Kanzaki.
**[08:23] Mark**
I haven't seen Ruga Kaizu.
**[08:28] Ruga**
Where... am I?
**[08:39] Shin**
You're so lucky. Already admitted
to a university via a recommendation...
**[08:43] Mark**
It's the vegetables of my labor.
**[08:46] Shin**
That's "fruits"...
**[08:48] Shin**
Well, anyway, good timing.
**[08:50] Shin**
Could you explain this one to me?
**[08:52] Shin**
Even after looking at
the solution, I still don't get it.
**[08:54] Mark**
Ahh, this one...
**[08:58] Kanzaki**
How weak... So low on the curve...
**[09:02] Kanzaki**
Weakness... is a sin!
**[09:05] Shin**
That's true, I am on the low end of the curve...
**[09:08] Mark**
Pull yourself together, Shinemon!
**[09:11] Oyama**
He went to a first-rate university, so most
everyone's low on the curve compared to him.
**[09:18] Oyama**
Don't let it get to you!
**[09:19] Shin**
Okay...
**[09:21] Oyama**
Buck up! In both studying and Cardfighting,
it'll never stick unless you're having fun!
**[09:26] Shin**
But I'm really not in a fun mood...
**[09:30] Oyama**
Then the important thing here
is getting you into a good mood...
**[09:34] Oyama**
That's it! I've got a great idea!
**[09:40] Tatsuya**
Welcome back.
**[09:41] Esuka**
We lost most of our customers.
**[09:43] Tatsuya**
Oh, you're right.
**[09:45] Tatsuya**
But their things are still here.
**[09:48] Esuka**
Then where is everyone?
**[09:49] Misaki**
Upstairs.
**[09:52] Oyama**
That's what you're going with? Nice one!
**[09:56] Shin**
Vanguard really is fun!
**[09:58] Oyama**
I know, right? This is the
best way to raise your spirits!
**[10:04] Esuka**
What are all of you doing in here?!
**[10:06] Shin**
Darn it! I'm playing Vanguard again!
**[10:09] Mark**
I got absorbed in the game, too.
**[10:12] Esuka**
After I went to all the trouble
of bringing over a special guest...
**[10:15] Esuka**
Aren't you curious?
**[10:16] Shin**
A special guest?
**[10:18] Mark**
Come to think of it, our flyers
did mention a "special guest."
**[10:23] Mark**
You weren't referring to Oyama and Kanzaki?
**[10:26] Esuka**
No.
**[10:28] Esuka**
It's her.
**[10:50] Radio**
Hitomi Kouzouji's final concert
ended just a short while ago.
**[10:55] Radio**
I wonder where Hitomi could be now,
after transforming back into a normal girl.
**[10:59] Radio**
Still, I bet she's having a wonderful time.
**[11:03] Shin**
She's here at Card Capital,
standing right before my eyes.
**[11:07] Esuka**
Be grateful.
**[11:08] Esuka**
I went out of my way to bring her here.
**[11:10] Mark**
Incredible!
**[11:13] Shin**
Speak to me, Mark!
**[11:14] Shin**
Hey! Come on!
**[11:16] Esuka**
I appreciate you coming over, Hitomi.
**[11:18] Hitomi**
I would never turn you down, Esuka.
**[11:21] Shin**
You know each other?
**[11:25] Esuka**
You could say that.
**[11:26] Tatsuya**
I see! Hitomi probably made her debut
around the time Esuka was a swimsuit model!
**[11:33] Hitomi**
Yes, Esuka helped me a lot
when I was first starting out.
**[11:42] Mikuru**
Esuka, why didn't you announce
that Hitomi would be coming?
**[11:47] Esuka**
Don't be silly. If I had...
**[11:50] Fans**
Hitomi!
**[11:53] Esuka**
It would've caused a panic in the neighborhood.
**[11:56] Kanzaki**
A wise decision.
**[11:59] Esuka**
So this is a special Christmas present
for the people who came to Capital tonight.
**[12:11] Hitomi**
Here you go.
**[12:13] Shin**
I wonder why Hitomi is retiring.
**[12:16] Shin**
She's still incredibly popular.
**[12:18] Esuka**
Why not ask her yourself?
**[12:20] Mark**
Lady Hitomi, do you play Vanguard?
**[12:24] Hitomi**
Actually...
**[12:29] Mark**
Oh!
**[12:31] Esuka**
Hitomin, you brought a deck with you?!
**[12:33] Hitomi**
When I knew I was coming here,
I bought a deck right away.
**[12:37] Esuka**
Earnest as always.
**[12:39] Hitomi**
To be honest, I was so busy
that I had my manager get it for me.
**[12:44] Hitomi**
Play against me later, Esuka.
**[12:48] Esuka**
If you want to play, why not go up
against the apprentice manager?
**[12:53] Shin**
But I...
**[12:55] Hitomi**
I'd love to!
**[12:57] Shin**
It's an honor...
**[12:59] Mikuru**
Grinny Cinnamon!
**[13:04] Hitomi**
I'm still not clear on how to play,
so I apologize in advance for my mistakes.
**[13:09] Shin**
Don't worry about it.
**[13:10] Shin**
First, we trade decks and shuffle.
**[13:13] Hitomi**
Okay!
**[13:16] Mark**
Shinemon!
**[13:18] Mark**
Get your hands off of Hitomi's deck!
**[13:22] Shin**
But I have to! It's the rules!
**[13:24] Hitomi**
Uh, my hand should have...
**[13:27] Oyama**
Five cards, Hitomi!
**[13:29] Hitomi**
Oh, right! Thank you very much!
**[13:33] Oyama**
Isn't Vanguard awesome?!
**[13:36] Kanzaki**
I will not dispute that.
**[13:38] Shin**
Here we go!
**[13:39] Hitomi**
Okay!
**[13:40] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[13:43] Hitomi**
I ride Top Idol, Riviere!
**[13:46] Shin**
W-Wait a second!
**[13:49] Shin**
Riviere is a grade 3 unit.
**[13:52] Hitomi**
Grade... 3?
**[13:55] Shin**
See where the "3" is here?
**[13:59] Shin**
You have to start by
placing a grade "0" unit.
**[14:03] Hitomi**
But... I don't have any.
**[14:06] Shin**
Can I take a look?
**[14:11] Shin**
What the...?
**[14:14] Shin**
They're all Riviere!
**[14:18] Hitomi**
I can't do that?
**[14:19] Shin**
No.
**[14:20] Shin**
You can only have up to four of the same card.
**[14:24] Hitomi**
Really? I'm very sorry.
**[14:27] Hitomi**
I just liked that card a lot...
**[14:29] Customer**
Shinemon, you jerk!
**[14:31] Customer**
Don't make Hitomi cry!
**[14:34] Mark**
Shinemon! You're banned from the shop!
**[14:37] Shin**
Wha? But I'm the manager!
**[14:39] Mikuru**
Apprentice manager, to be precise.
**[14:41] Hitomi**
The fault was mine!
**[14:43] Hitomi**
Please don't blame the manager.
**[14:46] Hitomi**
But what should I do?
**[14:47] Hitomi**
Everyone was cheering me on...
**[14:50] Esuka**
Why not sing a song to make up for it?
**[14:55] Hitomi**
Would that be okay?
**[14:57] All**
Yeah!
**[15:08] Hitomi**
Then, everyone please
listen to "Mermaid Graffiti."
**[15:23] Mark**
I can't believe I get to see
Princess Hitomi perform at Capital!
**[15:27] Mark**
It's overwhelming!
**[15:28] Tatsuya**
Hitomi looks like Riviere!
**[15:31] Kanzaki**
She's definitely a "Top Idol."
**[16:48] Keita**
Awesome, Hitomi!
**[16:49] Jibanyan**
Meownificent!
**[16:54] Shin**
Thank you very much!
**[16:55] Hitomi**
You're welcome.
**[16:59] Shin**
Um... may I ask you one question?
**[17:02] Hitomi**
What is it?
**[17:03] Hitomi**
You're still so young and popular.
**[17:06] Hitomi**
Why are you retiring?
**[17:08] Hitomi**
Good question.
**[17:10] Hitomi**
Before, whenever a new idol hit the scene,
I'd be like, "I won't let her upstage me."
**[17:16] Hitomi**
But recently, I've found that I enjoy
watching girls like them grow as idols.
**[17:20] Shin**
You enjoy watching them grow?
**[17:24] Hitomi**
Yes. More than being in the spotlight myself.
**[17:28] Hitomi**
I guess that's my main reason.
**[17:31] Customer**
Hitomi!
**[17:32] Crowd**
Hitomi! Hitomi! Hitomi!
**[17:39] Esuka**
Now, join Hitomin in saying...
**[17:41] All**
Cheers!
**[17:44] Esuka**
Shouldn't you be studying?
**[17:46] Shin**
I can't study at a time like this.
**[17:48] Shin**
Not with the highest-profile
person in Japan right here in my shop...
**[17:52] Esuka**
That makes sense.
**[17:53] Esuka**
But hasn't her showing up
encouraged you to study even harder?
**[17:56] Esuka**
After all, you're a big Hitomin fan.
**[17:59] Shin**
Why assume that?
**[18:00] Esuka**
Well, you have a Hitomin talisman
hanging above your desk.
**[18:04] Shin**
I got that from Mark.
**[18:07] Shin**
*He's* the big Hitomin fan.
**[18:09] Mark**
I've been a huge fan of yours ever since
the second season of "Young Mitsukuni"!
**[18:15] Hitomi**
Wow, you watched that?
**[18:17] Mark**
Of course!
**[18:19] Mark**
Though the daughter of a
Satsuma Domain nobleman,
**[18:21] Mark**
you usually hid your identity while traveling
the country with an elderly nobleman from Mito.
**[18:26] Mark**
But when there was danger, you'd use your great
swordsmanship to protect the old gentleman.
**[18:30] Mark**
Such marvelous sword fighting!
**[18:32] Mark**
Verily, I admired you for that.
**[18:34] Tatsuya**
Mark...
**[18:36] Esuka**
I... I see. So Mark was the fan.
**[18:51] Butler**
Ms. Esuka, it's about time.
**[18:53] Esuka**
It's that late already?
**[18:55] Esuka**
Let's go, Hitomin.
**[18:57] Hitomi**
Okay!
**[19:02] Mark**
Parting is such sweet sorrow!
**[19:05] Hitomi**
Huh? Where's my purse?
**[19:07] Mikuru**
I think I know where.
**[19:11] Mikuru**
Is this it?
**[19:12] Hitomi**
Yes, it is! Thank you!
**[19:14] Mikuru**
I saw it lying on the floor,
so I put it behind the counter.
**[19:18] Hitomi**
Thank you so much!
Something very important is in here.
**[19:23] Hitomi**
It's gone...
**[19:24] Esuka**
It's gone? You mean *that* pendant?
**[19:26] Hitomi**
What should I do, Esuka?!
**[19:29] Esuka**
Everyone, help us look for a pendant!
**[19:31] Shin**
Gotcha.
**[19:33] Shin**
A pendant...
**[19:35] Mark**
Lady Hitomi's pendant, where are you?
**[19:44] Kanzaki**
If it was in her purse,
it couldn't have gotten out by itself.
**[19:47] Kanzaki**
Perhaps a customer...
**[19:49] Oyama**
No Vanguard fighter
would do something like that!
**[19:52] Misaki**
That's right. It wasn't a customer.
**[19:56] Hitomi**
Really?
**[19:58] Misaki**
I remember the movements of
everyone who was in the shop tonight.
**[20:02] Mikuru**
After Mikuru picked up the purse,
no one approached it.
**[20:08] Shin**
What about before that?
**[20:10] Misaki**
Everyone was listening to Hitomi's song.
**[20:14] Misaki**
Wait!
**[20:15] Misaki**
Not everyone.
**[20:16] Shin**
Someone wasn't listening? Who was it?
**[20:21] Misaki**
Sub Manager!
**[20:24] Shin**
Excuse me...
**[20:26] Shin**
There it is!
**[20:32] Mikuru**
So Sub Manager picked it up.
**[20:34] Hitomi**
Thank you!
**[20:36] Hitomi**
You have an amazing memory!
**[20:39] Misaki**
It's no big deal.
**[20:40] Misaki**
I just can't forget anything.
**[20:43] Hitomi**
But doesn't that mean you'll always
remember what a lovely time we had tonight?
**[20:48] Hitomi**
I think it's a special gift from God.
**[20:54] Misaki**
Y-Yeah!
**[21:00] Hitomi**
It's a white Christmas!
**[21:02] Shin**
Oh, wow!
**[21:06] Hitomi**
So that I'll never lose it again...
**[21:13] Esuka**
You can finally wear it openly.
**[21:16] Hitomi**
Right!
**[21:17] Mikuru**
On the ring finger of her left hand, so...
**[21:21] Tatsuya**
Don't tell me she's mar--
**[21:25] Mark**
What's going on?
**[21:26] Mikuru**
Nothing you need to know, Mark!
**[21:29] Hitomi**
Thank you so much, Esuka.
I had a really great time.
**[21:34] Esuka**
Thank you for coming.
**[21:35] Hitomi**
Manager!
**[21:37] Shin**
Yes?
**[21:38] Esuka**
That's "apprentice manager," right?
**[21:40] Hitomi**
Good luck studying for your entrance exam.
**[21:43] Shin**
Thank you very much.
**[21:45] Shin**
If you ever get the chance,
please come back to Capital.
**[21:48] Hitomi**
I will.
**[21:50] Hitomi**
That image...!
**[21:51] Shin**
What image?
**[21:53] Hitomi**
An image just popped into my head.
**[21:56] Hitomi**
I could see my child...
falling in love with Vanguard...

It says "Bermuda Triangle."
**[24:23] Hitomi**
It's the name of the card's clan.
**[24:25] Saya**
"Bermooda"?
**[24:27] Hitomi**
Not "moo," "myu."
**[24:29] Saya**
"Moo," "moo"... "myu"!
**[24:32] Hitomi**
That's right. "Myu"!
**[24:34] Saya**
Yay! I said it, myu!
**[24:36] Saya**
I'll go out and play, myu!

You know me?!

**[00:39] Esuka**
The virtuoso fighter of darkness.
**[00:42] Esuka**
However, in Japan,
your ability is merely second place!
**[00:46] Shiatsunosuke**
So who's number one in Japan?!

Fine, then! Fight me!

**[01:44] Morikawa**
Is it true, Manager? You know Esuka Hibino?!
**[01:49] Shin**
You could say that.
**[01:55] Emi**
Esuka Hibino...?
**[01:57] Kamui**
She's the popular president of Card Shop Esuka,
opening up shops all across the world, Miss Emi!
**[02:04] Emi**
R-Right. I knew that.
**[02:06] Naitou**
To think you'd know someone like that!
You're more global than I gave you credit for.
**[02:10] Naitou**
I'd always seen you as merely
the boring manager of a drab shop.
**[02:14] Suwabe**
You truly can't judge a book by its cover.
**[02:17] Inenaga**
Isn't there an Esuka by the station?
**[02:19] Izaki**
Yeah, they've got tons more stuff than here.
**[02:26] Naoki**
Man, she's hot.
**[02:28] Shingo**
In her prime, she was a top idol who made
commercials for 30 different companies.
**[02:34] Aichi**
Wow, that's amazing.
**[02:36] Shingo**
But *you* remain my top idol, Sendou!
**[02:39] Aichi**
I-I wasn't asking...
**[02:41] Eru**
Some claim Esuka Group's skyrocket to success
is due to her having secret psychic powers.
**[02:49] Shin**
I'm not sure about that...
**[02:51] Miwa**
So what's your connection to Esuka Hibino?
**[02:54] Kai**
Did she help out when you were young?
**[02:57] Shin**
A-Absolutely not!
**[02:58] Shin**
Not even close!
**[02:59] Miwa**
Why are you so mad?
**[03:02] Shin**
My apologies.
**[03:04] Naoki**
So how're you and her connected, old man?
**[03:08] Shin**
Please don't call me "old man."
**[03:09] Emi**
I wanna know, too!
**[03:11] Kamui**
I-I also wanna know too, Miss Emi!
**[03:14] Aichi**
I'm curious, myself.
**[03:15] Maki**
Me too.
**[03:16] Morikawa**
Count me in!
**[03:18] Inenaga**
Sure!
**[03:19] Izaki**
Go on!
**[03:19] Naitou**
I have a need to know.
**[03:21] Suwabe**
I concur.
**[03:23] Miwa**
It'd make for a nice break.
**[03:25] Eru**
It may uncover the truth of the world.
**[03:29] Shin**
All of you...?
**[03:34] Shin**
Hmmmm...
**[03:43] Emi**
Hm?
**[03:49] Shin**
Very well.

Then I'll gladly tell you about...

*That* is the evil president Esuka Hibino,
***SIGN*** Oppose the Evil Esuka Group's Oppression!

to seize Capital by force.
***SIGN*** The Evil President, Esuka Hibino
**[04:39] Emi**
"Evil President"?
**[04:41] Miwa**
Seize Capital by force?!
**[04:43] Shin**
That's how the vixen was trying to
expand her empire of chain shops!
**[04:48] Shin**
So despite it being my year to study for exams,
**[04:52] Shin**
I barricaded myself inside Capital,
in order to protect my beloved shop!
**[04:55] Maki**
Barricaded yourself?!
**[04:57] Shin**
But on that day, my best friend Mark
had taken my place while I was busy...
**[05:03] Kai**
That uniform...
**[05:05] Kai**
Manager, you went to Hitsue High?
**[05:08] Shin**
Yes.
**[05:09] Miwa**
Then you're an alumnus of our school?
**[05:11] Morikawa**
Do we maybe gotta treat you with more respect?
**[05:14] Izaki**
Yeah, probably.
**[05:16] Inenaga**
Should we call you "Mr. Manager"?
**[05:18] Shin**
No, no. I've never heard of a shop where
the customers have to look up to the manager.
**[05:23] Shin**
Let's get back on track.
**[05:25] Shin**
Knowing of Esuka Hibino's sole weakness,
I fought back with a sophisticated plan,
**[05:32] Shin**
and successfully chased her away!
**[05:34] Esuka**
And what do you intend to do with a shop
that doesn't even have a manager?!
**[05:38] Shin**
A shop without a manager...
**[05:40] Shin**
Then *I'll* be the manager!
**[05:44] Aichi**
Can a high school student be a manager?
**[05:48] Shin**
It's possible, if you love the shop enough.
**[05:51] Shin**
But it seems that my love was just
grease to the fire of that vixen's anger,
**[05:56] Shin**
since she released a deadly assassin!
**[05:59] Mark**
Who I am is Ninja Master!
**[06:02] Izaki**
Isn't that Mr. Mark?!
**[06:04] Inenaga**
Our teacher was your enemy?!
**[06:07] Shin**
That she-devil used hypnosis
to take control of Mark's mind!
**[06:11] Eru**
Hypnosis?!
**[06:12] Shin**
But one look was enough
to tell me it was Mark in disguise!
**[06:16] Kai**
Of course. It's not as if his mouth's masked.
**[06:19] Shin**
Huh?
**[06:20] Kai**
Is something wrong?

Isn't 70,000 power against the rules?!

I don't understand why,
but that's still far too global!

It's unforgivable, right, Miss Emi?
**[08:09] Shin**
Exactly! It was unforgivable!

I went to that shrew's headquarters
to steal it back, but she was devious!

She tried to seduce me with her adult allure!

**[08:28] Maki**
Excuse me?

But with great resolve,
I brushed aside Esuka's siren call!
**[08:33] Shin**
That must have greatly offended her,
because afterwards...

Hey. Would you come with us?
**[08:41] Shin**

Precognition?! How dare she!

I repelled her wicked precognition
with the power of justice!
**[10:26] Shin**
Huh? What?!
**[10:28] Shin**
She then repented of her sins!
**[10:34] Shin**
And we all lived happily ever after.
**[10:36] Morikawa**
That's no happy ending!

Yeah, you only saw Esuka in a swimsuit!

withstood my partner Valkerion's attack.
**[12:16] Esuka**
I ride!
**[12:21] Esuka**
Holy Great Sage of Black Shadows, Isabelle!
**[12:30] Esuka**
I attack Uranus!
**[12:33] Shin**
No guard!
**[12:36] Esuka**
Don't get cocky just because
you ran a business for a single day.
**[12:41] Shin**
Knowing how exhausted I was after
a hard day's work, that woman tormented me.
**[12:50] Shin**
I lost...
**[12:53] Shin**
And so Capital fell into
that witch's hands, but then...
**[12:59] Esuka**
I'll give you just one more chance.
**[13:01] Esuka**
Win the upcoming Esu Cup!
**[13:05] Kamui**
You begged her for another chance?
**[13:09] Shin**
Oh! No, I...
**[13:12] Miya**
And now, the Esu Cup begins!
**[13:16] Maki**
So you've participated
in the Esu Cup, Manager?!
**[13:19] Shin**
Yes, but just that one time.
**[13:22] Mark**
Ninja Art, Riding Jutsu!
**[13:25] Oyama**
That's the plan?
***SIGN*** The fighter of endless summer, straight from the snowy mountains, Ryutarou Oyama
**[13:29] Shingo**
That's Ryutarou Oyama!
**[13:32] Naoki**
Who?
**[13:33] Shingo**
You don't know?!
**[13:34] Shingo**
He's a legendary Narukami fighter!
**[13:37] Oyama**
Vanquisher attacks your Vanguard!
**[13:40] Mark**
Guard! Protect me!
**[13:42] Mark**
Hanzo attacks your Vanguard!
**[13:46] Shin**
And that's how Mark beat Oyama.
**[13:50] Naitou**
So the both of you kept
winning your way through it?
**[13:53] Suwabe**
Doesn't the Esu Cup require
three people on a team?
**[13:56] Naitou**
I was about to bring that up.
**[13:59] Shin**
The final member, our third fighter, was...
***SIGN*** The Board Grappler Rive Shindou
**[14:05] Izaki**
Rive Shindou! He was a great fighter,
but died young, didn't he?
**[14:10] Inenaga**
That's right.
**[14:11] Shin**
He was my master!
**[14:15] Kai**
"Master"?
**[14:17] Shin**
He taught me so much.
**[14:19] Shin**
But he was always busy with work.
**[14:22] Rive**
Oops, time for me to leave for work!
**[14:24] Rive**
Well, I've gotta get to work.
**[14:26] Rive**
Whoops! I have to get to work!
**[14:28] Rive**
The match ends here.
**[14:34] Emi**
What kind of work did he do?
**[14:37] Shin**
Beats me.
**[14:38] Shin**
Rive's opponent was his former teammate!
***SIGN*** Master Commander of the Field Ruga Kaizu
**[14:45] Ruga**
At your Master Commander's order,
**[14:47] Ruga**
awaken from the depths,
in order to end everything.
**[14:52] Ruga**
I ride Last Card, Revonn!
**[14:55] Shin**
But my master refused to yield to him!
**[15:01] Rive**
Its fists are like gods,
**[15:03] Rive**
and its standing technique
is the strongest on planet Cray...
**[15:06] Rive**
I ride Fighting Fist Dragon,
God Hand Dragon!
**[15:10] Kamui**
You mean your master
used Nova Grappler, Manager?!
**[15:13] Miwa**
I feel a sense of brotherhood!
**[15:16] Aichi**
So you won the next match, Manager?
**[15:19] Shin**
No.
**[15:23] Kanzaki**
Claret Sword Dragon!
**[15:27] Shin**
No trigger.
**[15:32] Shin**
See, my opponent was Yuichirou Kanzaki,
***SIGN*** International Vanguard High School Champion
Yuichirou Kanzaki
**[15:35] Shin**
the three-time winner of the International
Vanguard High School Championship!
**[15:41] Kanzaki**
Weakness is a sin!
**[15:43] Kanzaki**
Begone, weakling!
**[15:46] Morikawa**
You lost?!
**[15:48] Izaki**
What about your rematch
with President Esuka?
**[15:50] Shin**
Of course I wouldn't let
one little defeat get me down!
**[15:55] Shin**
After some strenuous
special training with Mark...
**[15:59] Shin**
I ride!
**[16:03] Shin**
Quaking Heavenly Dragon, Astraios Dragon!
**[16:10] Aichi**
That's another card you can use
to deploy the Astral Plane and call Valkerion.
**[16:15] Aichi**
You really like Valkerion, huh, Manager?
**[16:18] Kai**
Why do you like it so much
when you can't even ride it?
**[16:23] Shin**
Well, it's because...
**[16:27] Shin**
It's cool.
**[16:30] Shin**
Isn't it enough that it's cool?
**[16:35] Naitou**
For a childish reason like that?!
**[16:38] Suwabe**
Indeed!
**[16:39] Kai**
Well, I can understand that feeling myself.
**[16:44] Aichi**
Kai...
**[16:47] Shin**
And so, Team Capital won the Esu Cup!
**[16:51] Shin**
I got to have my rematch with that vixen!
**[16:55] Shin**
And then...
**[17:09] Esuka**
I'm sorry for everything I did!
**[17:11] Esuka**
I won't give you any more trouble!
Capital is all yours!
**[17:15] Shin**
In short, that witch Esuka Hibino was defeated
by my justice, and peace returned to Capital.
**[17:23] Mark**
Shinemon, Happy New Year!
**[17:27] Shin**
Mark?! What are you doing here?!
**[17:29] Mark**
Today, the former members of
Hitsue Middle School's Cardfight Club
**[17:33] Mark**
have gathered here for
their first fights of the New Year.
**[17:36] Aichi**
That's right, Manager.
**[17:37] The Three**
Yay!
**[17:39] Shin**
Oh, really?
**[17:41] Mark**
By the way, Shinemon,
I couldn't help overhearing your tale...
**[17:45] Mark**
It sounded like you were
greatly distorting the truth.
**[17:48] Shin**
Mark!
**[17:49] Morikawa**
You've been distorting the truth?
**[17:51] Miwa**
Who said, "Everything I'm about
to tell you is the absolute truth"?!
**[17:55] Naoki**
Old man! Don't tell me you lied to us!
**[17:58] Shin**
I-I'd never dream of lying to you!
**[18:01] The Three**
Shut up!
**[18:02] Shin**
Okay.
***SIGN*** "I am a liar"
**[18:09] Mark**
First of all, Esuka Hibino
was Shinemon's benefactor.
**[18:15] Esuka**
All of the documents regarding Card Capital.
**[18:18] Shin**
What's that?
**[18:19] Esuka**
Your invitation to the Vanguard World League.
The organizers witnessed the Esu Cup finals.
**[18:27] Mark**
While Esuka's intentions were that,
if Shinemon happened to defeat her,
**[18:31] Mark**
he would be forced to choose between Capital
and a one-year world tour as a fighter...
**[18:38] Shin**
I choose *both!*
**[18:40] Esuka**
That's fine. Open it.
**[18:45] Shin**
What is this?
***SIGN*** Card Capital Apprentice Manager Contract Esuka
**[18:46] Shin**
"Card Capital Apprentice Manager Contract"?
**[18:50] Esuka**
And one more thing.
**[18:52] Shin**
What's this? A college application?!
**[18:55] Esuka**
To participate in the world tour,
you must be at least age 20, or in college.
**[18:59] Esuka**
You can't go unless you
become a college student.
**[19:03] Shin**
I can't take entrance exams now!
**[19:05] Shin**
What about the shop, and the tour?!
**[19:07] Mikuru**
Just do it, Exam-Taker Cinnamon!
**[19:09] Miwa**
Hang on a sec!
**[19:11] Miwa**
That cute girl who keeps popping up.
Was she your girlfriend, Manager?
***SIGN*** "I am a liar"
**[19:17] Shin**
She was still in middle school then.
**[19:20] Shin**
So while Mikuru was very fond of me...
**[19:23] Emi**
Her name was Mikuru?
**[19:25] Emi**
What did she call you, Manager?
**[19:28] Mikuru**
Super-Silly Cinnamon!
**[19:31] Esuka/Mikuru**
You Conclusion-Jumping Cinnamon!
**[19:34] Mikuru**
You Unthinking Cinnamon!
**[19:38] Shingo**
Th-That's certainly unique...
**[19:40] Aichi**
By the way, Manager, why were you
protecting Capital from Esuka?
**[19:45] Shin**
W-Well...
**[19:47] Mark**
It was for Misaki's sake, right?
**[19:52] Shin**
M-Misaki's laughing!
**[19:56] Shin**
Th-Th-This is wonderful!
**[19:59] Shin**
After what happened, all I've wanted
was to see you smile again, Misaki!
**[20:03] Aichi**
So you've always loved Misaki, Manager.
**[20:08] Shin**
Well, she's been counting on me ever since...
**[20:13] Shin**
She'd cling to me like velcro.
Honestly, what a needy little girl.
**[20:20] Misaki**
I'm back.
**[20:22] Shin**
W-Welcome back, Misaki!
**[20:25] Shin**
Thanks for running to the store!
**[20:27] Misaki**
Who's a "needy little girl"?!
***SIGN*** Current Weather: Clear
**[20:33] Shin**
Great aim...
**[20:37] Morikawa**
I'm surprised you're still alive.
***SIGN*** Scumbag
**[20:41] Naoki**
That's the Boss for ya!
**[20:43] Misaki**
Stop calling me "Boss"!
**[20:44] Naoki**
That was way cool, Boss!
**[20:48] Shin**
I never was able to make Misaki smile, for real.
**[20:55] Shin**
Her true smile only appeared...
**[20:58] Shin**
...after she met you, Aichi. Her Vanguard.
**[21:03] Shin**
Thank you.
**[21:05] Shin**
But even now, I still...
**[21:33] Shin**
How did I smile, back then...?
**[21:43] Morikawa**
The heck? It's your turn, Mr. Mark.
**[21:46] Mark**
Oh, pardon me!
**[21:48] Morikawa**
Up too late for New Year's?
**[21:50] Shingo**
Hurry, I want to see what happens next!
**[21:53] Kids**
Hello!
**[21:56] Shin**
Welcome.
**[21:58] Kid A**
Manager, would you look at my new deck?
**[22:01] Shin**
Of course.
**[22:03] Shin**
It's Valkerion!
**[22:05] Shin**
Do you like that one?
**[22:07] Kid A**
Yeah! It's cool!
**[22:10] Shin**
I know, right?!
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card is
Bermuda Triangle's Top Idol Riviere!
***SIGN*** Top Idol Riviere
**[23:55] Narrator**
When Riviere debuts in the Vanguard Circle,
discard one card from your hand and draw two!
**[23:59] Narrator**
Also, after a battle, if you discard
two cards from your hand,
**[24:03] Narrator**
you can ride any unit from your hand
that contains the name "Riviere"!
**[24:07] Narrator**
Increase your hand and call out
to the fans cheering for an encore!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Aichi**
Shin was amazing in high school!
**[24:17] Morikawa**
You believed him, Aichi?
**[24:19] Aichi**
You didn't, Morikawa?
**[24:20] Morikawa**
Of course not! If his story were true,
he would've gone on a world tour!
**[24:25] Kai**
Wait. Look at this!
**[24:26] Aichi**
Kai? What's that magazine?
**[24:28] Kai**
An old issue of Monthly Vanguard.
**[24:30] Kai**
The manager and Mark are in here!
**[24:31] Aichi**
It's an article about that world tour!
**[24:33] Morikawa**
What? Seriously?!
**[24:35] Kai**
Why are you crying?
**[24:36] Morikawa**
He wanted us to believe so badly
that he made a fake article?!
**[24:39] Morikawa**
For the poor guy's sake,
let's pretend we believe him!

**[03:41] Nanami**
Looks like we'll have to wait
till the finals to beat Shinemon.
**[03:46] Kanzaki**
I hate to break the news to you,
but *I* will be the one to defeat Shinemon Nitta!
**[03:50] Nanami**
I'm not letting anyone else do it!
**[03:56] Tonori**
I'm starvin', yo.
**[03:58] MC**
Incredibly, the four teams that made it
to the semifinals are all from Japan!
**[04:03] MC**
What a bonanza of a year for Japanese teams!
**[04:07] MC**
Well, I'll see you all in
one week for the semifinals!
**[04:13] Mikuru**
You guys did it!

Pop, congrabulations!
**[04:17] Rive**
Chrono, that's "congratulations."
**[04:21] Chrono**
Congralumations!
**[04:24] Rive**
Well, whatever. Thank you.
**[04:29] Mark**
Yeah, Chrono!
**[04:31] Chrono**
Congralumations, Ninja Pasta!
**[04:33] Mark**
No, not Ninja Pasta!
Verily, I am Ninja Master!
**[04:38] Mikuru**
Just two more victories,
and you guys will win the Asia Circuit.
**[04:42] Shin**
Yeah, but that's not the real goal.
**[04:46] Shin**
If we win this, we'll be qualified
to participate in the World Grand Prix.
**[04:51] Shin**
For the first time ever, a Japanese team,
*our* team, could become the best in the world.
**[04:56] Shin**
That's why we changed our name
from Team Capital to Team Nippon.
**[05:02] Mikuru**
Super-confident Cinnamon.
**[05:05] Chrono**
Best in the curled!
**[05:08] Shin**
That's "best in the world," Chrono.
**[05:10] Chrono**
Beast in the world!
**[05:14] Shin**
That's right, best in the world.
**[05:17] Shin**
I'm sure that's what we'll be.

good at cards get all the attention.
**[06:15] Shin**
It's time for work, Sub Manager.
**[06:22] Shin**
"Manager"...
**[06:29] Shin**
Welcome!
**[06:30] Kid A**
Hey there, part-timer!
**[06:32] Shin**
Who's a part-timer?! I'm the manager here!
**[06:34] Kid A**
Apprentice, right?
**[06:36] Shin**
Y-You could say that...
**[06:38] Shin**
But once I graduate, I'll be the manager!
**[06:41] Kid A**
Yeah, whatever. Let's fight!
**[06:45] Shin**
Sure! I'll annihilate you.
**[06:49] Shin**
I'll finish you off with Gleaming Lord, Uranus!
**[06:54] Kid A**
No guard...
**[06:55] Kid A**
Damage check!
**[06:57] Kid A**
All right! Heal trigger!
**[06:59] Shin**
Wha...?!
**[07:04] Kid A**
Wha...?!
**[07:06] Shin**
It's your turn, guy!
**[07:08] Esuka**
You call customers, "guy"?
**[07:13] Shin**
E-Esu--
**[07:15] Esuka**
"Esuka"?
**[07:16] Shin**
I mean, Manager!
**[07:22] Esuka**
Apprentice Manager, I'm not saying that
you can't Cardfight with the customers.
**[07:27] Esuka**
But what about your promise to finish
taking inventory by the time I arrive?
**[07:32] Shin**
Did I promise th--
**[07:33] Esuka**
Yes, you did!
**[07:42] Esuka**
You and I are entering into
a contract, Shinemon Nitta.
**[07:45] Esuka**
While you're on the world tour...
**[07:48] Esuka**
...I'll be managing this shop.
**[07:51] Esuka**
I hope he can vindicate himself
for not winning the world tour four years ago,
**[07:57] Esuka**
with this year's World Grand Prix.
**[07:59] Butler**
That is rather premature.
**[08:01] Butler**
After all, they have yet
to win the Asia Circuit.
**[08:05] Esuka**
That's true.
**[08:07] Butler**
Besides, Shinemon and his team
performed quite well four years ago.
**[08:13] Esuka**
But they didn't become the best in the world.
**[08:16] Esuka**
Would you expect him
to be satisfied with "almost best"?
**[08:20] Butler**
An excellent point.
**[08:22] Mark**
Hello!
**[08:25] Shin**
Mark! Welcome!
**[08:28] Shin**
How did your student teaching go?
**[08:30] Mark**
It was fun, teaching Vanguard.
**[08:34] Shin**
No, I meant student teaching
for middle school students.
**[08:38] Mark**
Of course! I did it with
the help of these cards!

It was a dream come true.
**[08:53] Shin**
What dream?
**[08:54] Mark**
To form a Vanguard club after getting hired!
**[08:58] Shin**
I see.
**[09:01] Mark**
Is something wrong, Shinemon?
**[09:04] Shin**
No, I'm happy for your Cardfight Club!
**[09:07] Shin**
Do me a favor and send your students to Capital!
**[09:10] Mark**
I can't do that!
**[09:12] Shin**
Why not?
**[09:14] Mark**
Educators mustn't show favoritism
to any particular shop!
**[09:20] Shin**
Don't be so by the book.
**[09:22] Mark**
No means no!
**[09:23] Shin**
What about if I gave you a special card?
**[09:25] Mark**
I still can't!
**[09:29] Shin**
Great work today.
**[09:35] Shin**
Carry you up there?!
**[09:42] Shin**
I just can't anymore!
**[09:47] Misaki**
Welcome back!
**[09:50] Shin**
So you're here, Misaki.
**[09:52] Shin**
You're staying for dinner, right?
**[09:54] Misaki**
Yeah, I'm pretty hungry.
**[09:59] Misaki**
It's so good!
**[10:01] Shin**
You really should be eating my mom's cooking.
**[10:04] Misaki**
But Grandma always makes
more food than I can possibly eat.
**[10:09] Misaki**
I could end up like your cat here.
**[10:13] Shin**
I take your point.
**[10:15] Shin**
I can't even give Sub Manager rides anymore.

A great number of people have gathered

who tragically lost their lives

**[10:42] Shin**
Did something happen?!
**[10:44] Announcer**
And now this...
**[10:53] Misaki**
You made it to the semifinals, right?
Congratulations.
**[10:56] Shin**
You don't have to congratulate me
until I'm actually the best in the world.
**[10:59] Misaki**
Yeah, yeah.
**[11:02] Misaki**
Are you really going to
retire after this tournament?
**[11:08] Misaki**
You don't have to become
the manager after graduation.
**[11:11] Misaki**
You could leave the shop to Esuka--
**[11:12] Shin**
Misaki, there aren't many
world champions who run a shop.
**[11:18] Shin**
Imagine how much publicity the title
"Best in the World" would bring to Capital!
**[11:23] Misaki**
Then you want to be the best in the world for...
**[11:27] Shin**
Right. It's partly for Capital's sake.
**[11:30] Misaki**
I see.
**[11:33] Misaki**
I can get home fine from here. Goodnight!
**[11:36] Shin**
Yeah, goodnight.
**[11:40] Esuka**
The best in the world, huh?
**[11:42] Butler**
What about it?
**[11:44] Esuka**
Nothing.
**[11:45] Butler**
If you say so.
**[11:50] Esuka**
How could he retire when he has
the talent to aim for those heights?
**[12:05] Esuka**
It would be such a waste.
**[12:23] Kanzaki**
Weak! Too weak!
**[12:27] MC**
After two losses in a row for Team Daisetsuzan,
**[12:31] MC**
Oyama chose to face off against Kanzaki,
but he has unfortunately lost!
**[12:36] MC**
Team SSS is going to the finals!
**[12:40] Kanzaki**
Weakness is a sin! Begone, weakling!
**[12:47] Oyama**
It's frustrating, but I had a really good time.
**[12:50] Oyama**
Good luck!
**[12:52] Kanzaki**
I don't need wishes of success from a weakling!
**[12:56] Oyama**
What was that?!
**[12:57] Oyama**
I've had about enough of your verbal abuse!
**[13:01] Mikuru**
Your papa's match will start soon.
**[13:04] Chrono**
Papa's hatch!
**[13:05] Mikuru**
"Match."
**[13:07] Chrono**
Mats!
**[13:08] Mikuru**
"Mat-ch."
**[13:10] Chrono**
Hat-ch!
**[13:12] MC**
In just a moment, the second
semifinal match will begin!
***SIGN*** Rive Shindou Ruga Kaizu
**[13:17] MC**
We know Ruga Kaizu and Rive Shindou were once
a duo, known as the mighty "Flow Vanguard,"
**[13:24] MC**
that traveled the country
crushing powerhouse fighters,
**[13:28] MC**
but their duel at the Esu Cup
four years ago has become legend.
**[13:35] MC**
You definitely won't want to miss the
second coming that is *this* inevitable fight!
**[13:41] Ruga**
This won't be a repeat
of my failure four years ago!
**[13:43] Ruga**
I'm gonna beat you and take back
the title of "The Strongest"!
**[14:03] MC**
It's time!
**[14:04] MC**
Let the fight begin!
**[14:08] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[14:13] MC**
Wh-What is that?
**[14:15] MC**
"Primordial Dracokid"...
**[14:19] MC**
The clan is "Gear Chronicle."
**[14:22] Shin**
Gear Chronicle?
**[14:24] MC**
Th-That card is new, even to me!
**[14:30] Chrono**
What's with Pop?
**[14:32] Mikuru**
Sorry, I don't know.
**[14:35] Ruga**
Is that your recipe for defeating me?
**[14:39] Rive**
That's not how I think of it.
**[14:42] Ruga**
How long are you going to play dumb?
**[14:44] Ruga**
I ride Blue Wave Soldier Senior, Beragios!
**[14:48] Kanzaki**
What is Rive Shindou thinking?
**[14:51] Nanami**
Don't ask me.
**[14:52] Kanzaki**
I wasn't asking you. Just thinking out loud.
**[14:57] MC**
Rive Shindou, the "Board Grappler,"
has already taken 5 damage!
**[15:02] MC**
Usually, that means it will end this turn...
**[15:06] Rive**
This wasn't supposed to happen.
**[15:08] Shin**
Master!
**[15:09] Chrono**
Is Pop gonna lose?
**[15:11] Mikuru**
I-It'll be fine! He's just warming up!
**[15:14] Rive**
Chronojet Dragon attacks your Vanguard!
**[15:18] Ruga**
I guard!
**[15:19] MC**
Whoa! The attack didn't go through!
**[15:22] MC**
Which means...
**[15:25] Rive**
My turn is over.
**[15:26] Ruga**
Why?!
**[15:28] Ruga**
For the past four years, not a day's gone by
without me longing for a rematch against you!
**[15:34] Rive**
Then this is your lucky day.
**[15:36] Ruga**
Silence!
**[15:38] Ruga**
Last Card, Revonn attacks your Vanguard!
**[15:43] Rive**
No guard.
**[15:45] MC**
It's Rive Shindou's fateful damage check!
**[15:50] MC**
Will he get a heal trigger?!
**[15:55] Rive**
No trigger.
**[16:00] Rive**
I lose.
**[16:02] Ruga**
Unacceptable!
**[16:03] Rive**
Ruga...
**[16:04] Ruga**
Fight me once more, Rive!
**[16:06] Ruga**
This time with Nova Grappler!
**[16:08] Ruga**
Got it?! I wanna face Nova Grappler!
**[16:08] Rive**
He's cracked...
**[16:11] Chrono**
Pop lost?
**[16:16] Ryuzu**
I suppose the time wasn't yet ripe.
**[16:19] Mishima**
Well then...
**[16:20] Ryuzu**
Yes. Let's go.
**[16:23] Mikuru**
Aren't those two...?
**[16:25] Chronicle**
Auntie Mikuru...
**[16:28] Mikuru**
Just "Mikuru," remember?
**[16:34] Mikuru**
I-It's fine, Chrono!
**[16:36] Mikuru**
Shinemon and Mark's wins
will make up for my dumb brother!
**[16:40] Chrono**
Pop is dumb?!
**[16:47] MC**
What's wrong with Ruga Kaizu?!
**[16:49] Teammates**
Ruga!
**[16:54] Ruga**
Sorry. I no longer have
a reason to continue fighting.
**[17:01] Mark**
Evil Stealth Dragon Akatsuki, Hanzo
delivers the final stroke!
**[17:18] MC**
He did it! Ninja Master has
defeated two opponents in a row!
**[17:23] MC**
Team Nippon is moving on to the finals!
**[17:27] Crowd**
Nippon! Nippon! Champion!
**[17:29] Crowd**
Nippon! Nippon! Champion! Champion!
**[17:33] Shin**
What the heck were you doing?!
**[17:35] Shin**
We managed to squeak by today,
but we'll be facing Kanzaki in the finals!
**[17:41] Shin**
If you fight like you did in there,
there's no way we can win!
**[17:44] Rive**
Yeah, I figured.
**[17:46] Shin**
"I figured"?! Why are you so breezy?!
**[17:50] Rive**
So here's the deal...
**[17:54] Rive**
You two fight in the finals five days from now.
**[17:59] Rive**
I've got something to do that day
that I can't get out of, so please!
**[18:05] Mikuru**
Dumbro, how can you be so irresponsible?!
**[18:09] Shin**
She's right, Master!
**[18:11] Mark**
What is this thing you can't get out of?
**[18:13] Rive**
That's a secret.
**[18:15] Shin**
That's not gonna wash!
**[18:19] Rive**
Not so loud. You'll wake Chrono.
**[18:23] Shin**
S-Sorry.
**[18:25] Rive**
Well, I'm counting on you two.
**[18:28] Rive**
Get me to the Grand Prix.
**[18:33] Mark**
Could Rive be testing us?
**[18:37] Mikuru**
I don't think so.
**[18:40] Mikuru**
I bet it's all *his* fault.
**[18:43] Shin**
His who?
**[18:48] Mikuru**
I saw a man in a lab coat there today.
**[18:53] Mikuru**
I'd seen him before, when he
dropped off my brother on occasion.
**[19:04] Rive**
Thank you.
**[19:06] Mishima**
Good work.
**[19:15] Shin**
Wait a second!
**[19:17] Shin**
What's this about a lab coat?
**[19:18] Mark**
Then he works at a laboratory?
**[19:23] Mikuru**
Ack, I just remembered!
He told me not to tell anyone!
**[19:27] Mikuru**
My brother's been working at
Ryuzu Laboratory for a long time now.
**[19:34] Rive**
Oops, time for me to leave for work!
**[19:36] Rive**
Well, I've gotta get to work.
**[19:38] Rive**
Whoops! I have to get to work!
**[19:40] Rive**
The match ends here.
**[19:46] Shin**
So that's where he was going?
**[19:50] Mark**
What kind of research do they do there?
**[19:54] Mikuru**
It's on Vanguard.
**[19:55] The Two**
Vanguard?!
**[19:57] Mikuru**
Yeah, they do research into
Vanguard Physical something-or-other.
**[20:02] Mark**
Oh! Physical!
**[20:04] Shin**
But why would he want you to keep it a secret?
**[20:08] Mikuru**
He said, "I'm sure they would come to visit
on a lark, which would be a pain in the butt."
**[20:18] Shin**
All right, let's go!
**[20:19] Mikuru**
There you go again, running off unthinkingly!
**[20:22] Shin**
No, I'm not! I just don't
buy that explanation he gave!
**[20:26] Shin**
So I'm going there to ask
his real reason for ditching us!
**[20:29] Mark**
Then you'll need a driver!
**[20:31] Shin**
Can I count on you, Mark?
**[20:34] Mark**
Shinemon, if you're Maeda Keijiro,
then I'll be your horse, Matsukaze!
**[20:52] Shin**
Wh-What is this?
**[20:54] Mikuru**
You remember the huge explosion
at Yumigatake, don't you?
**[20:58] Shin**
Yeah.
**[21:00] Mark**
A meteorite landed, right?
**[21:02] Mikuru**
This is the place.
**[21:05] Shin**
Why would there be a Vanguard laboratory here?
**[21:08] Mikuru**
Beats me.
**[21:13] Shin**
It's not open to the public?
**[21:16] Guard A**
That's right.
**[21:17] Mikuru**
My big brother works here.
**[21:20] Guard A**
I still can't let you in without permission.
**[21:31] Guard B**
Hey, they got the go-ahead.
**[21:54] Tatsuya**
Long time no see, Shinemon.
**[22:01] Shin**
You're... Tatsuya?
**[22:07] Tatsuya**
Yes. Welcome to Ryuzu Lab.

**[24:15] Shin**
Hey, Tonori.
**[24:16] Shin**
Why have you guys teamed up with Kanzaki?
**[24:19] Tonori**
Nanami and Kanzaki just hit it off, yo.
**[24:21] Tonori**
Would you believe they yak
with each other for hours?
**[24:24] Tonori**
They've got loads in common.
**[24:25] Tonori**
Know how Nanami's wild about cats?
**[24:27] Shin**
So is Kanzaki?
**[24:28] Tonori**
Nah, Kanzaki's into horses, yo.
**[24:30] Shin**
Horses?!
**[24:31] Shin**
What do they have in common?!
**[24:33] Tonori**
Well, they're both house pets.
**[24:35] Shin**
I see... Whoa, whoa, wait a sec!
**[24:37] Shin**
Horses aren't house pets!
**[24:39] Tonori**
Now that you mention it...
But that's how Kanzaki lives, yo.

**[00:18] Tatsuya**
That day was the last time I saw you all, huh?
**[00:26] Shin**
Yeah. But I didn't know you were working here.
**[00:33] Tatsuya**
Yes. I work here as a researcher.
**[00:38] Mikuru**
High school students can be researchers?
**[00:41] Mark**
No wonder you're dressed like that!
**[00:44] Yuki**
Tachibana.
**[00:47] Yuki**
These people?
**[00:49] Tatsuya**
Yes.
**[00:50] Yuki**
I see.
**[00:51] Yuki**
Nice to meet you.
**[00:53] Yuki**
I'm Yuki Mishima, the director's assistant.
**[00:56] Yuki**
Right this way.
**[01:00] Mikuru**
Bro!
**[01:03] Rive**
What are you guys doing here?
**[01:05] Mikuru**
We should be asking you that!
**[01:08] Ryuzu**
Well, there's no harm in it.
**[01:11] Ryuzu**
Welcome to Ryuzu Lab.
**[01:14] Shin**
Ryuzu Lab?
**[01:16] Ryuzu**
Correct. Nice to meet you.
**[01:19] Ryuzu**
I'm the director, Ryuzu Myoujin.
**[01:23] Shin**
The strength of imagination!
**[01:26] Shin**
That's the strength of Vanguard!
**[01:31] Shin**
Don't get dominated by
your opponent's imagination!
**[01:34] Shin**
Rewrite that imagination!
**[03:10] Ryuzu**
You must be Shinemon Nitta.
**[03:14] Ryuzu**
And you're Mark Whiting, a.k.a. Ninja Master.
**[03:19] Mark**
Oh! Mysterious!
**[03:21] Mark**
How did you know our names?
**[03:24] Shin**
Master must've told him.
**[03:27] Shin**
While keeping too many secrets from us!
**[03:30] Rive**
Secrets?
**[03:32] Shin**
Yeah, like the existence of this lab,
and the fact that you work with Tatsuya!
**[03:37] Shin**
You never told us anything about it!
**[03:40] Rive**
I wasn't trying to hide--
**[03:41] Shin**
And you never told us something
that's even more important!
**[03:45] Shin**
Master, what's the *real* reason why
you're not participating in the finals?!
***SIGN*** Remind 21 Summoning Experiment
**[03:59] Shin**
My mind's made up! I'm not leaving
this spot until you tell me, Master!
**[04:04] Mark**
Oh!
**[04:06] Mark**
Like Kinoshita Tokichiro,
**[04:07] Mark**
who served Oda Nobunaga before becoming
Hashiba Hideyoshi, and later Toyotomi Hideyoshi,
**[04:14] Mark**
I shall follow your lead!
**[04:16] Rive**
Wait a second!
**[04:17] Rive**
This is no time for nonsense!
**[04:20] Rive**
In four days, you guys--
**[04:21] Shin**
I'm telling you I want to know why you're not
participating in the finals in four days!
**[04:26] Rive**
That's...
**[04:27] Ryuzu**
Okay, why don't we do this?
**[04:32] Ryuzu**
Have a Vanguard fight with me,
and if you win, Rive will explain everything.
**[04:38] Ryuzu**
But if I win, you have to leave
without saying another word.
**[04:43] Mark**
I see! Using Vanguard to silence an argument!
**[04:47] Mikuru**
That's "settle an argument"!
**[04:50] Ryuzu**
Prepare the X-Stage immediately.
**[04:53] Yuki**
I can't agree with this.
**[04:56] Yuki**
We shouldn't let outsiders see our facilities.
**[04:59] Rive**
Ryuzu, this is a very
important time for Shinemon.
**[05:03] Rive**
I don't want him involved.
**[05:04] Tatsuya**
I think he should do it.
**[05:07] Rive**
Tatsuya!
**[05:08] Ryuzu**
Well?
**[05:10] Shin**
All right! I accept your terms!
**[05:13] Shin**
Let's do this!
**[05:21] Shin**
What is this place?!
**[05:23] Ryuzu**
Welcome.
**[05:25] Ryuzu**
This is my lab's most cutting-edge facility.
**[05:29] Ryuzu**
Experimental Stage!
**[05:31] Ryuzu**
For short, "X-Stage"!
**[05:33] Mark**
"Experimental"?
**[05:35] Mikuru**
What does he mean?
**[05:36] Mark**
The stage is for performing experiments.
**[05:39] Shin**
Experiments?
**[05:41] Operator A**
Space-time fluctuation values stabilized.
**[05:43] Operator A**
Maintaining gravitational wave
error at zero point three.
**[05:46] Operator B**
Portal coolant full.
**[05:49] Operator C**
Imaginary Score meter functioning normally.
**[05:54] Tatsuya**
Then let's start it up.
**[05:55] Yuki**
Please begin filming.
**[05:57] Tatsuya**
We're going to document it?
**[05:59] Yuki**
If anything were to go wrong,
my job will be to establish where blame lies.
**[06:06] Chrono**
Hey!
**[06:07] Mikuru**
Chrono!
**[06:09] Shin**
Why are you here?
**[06:10] Rive**
I had him at the facility's daycare,
**[06:14] Rive**
but when I mentioned you were
going to fight, he insisted on watching.
**[06:19] Chrono**
Do your beast, Shinemon!
**[06:22] Shin**
Right! Leave it to me!
**[06:24] Shin**
I swear to win this fight, and make your dad,
**[06:27] Shin**
I mean, Master, confess the real reason
why he's not participating in the finals!
**[06:34] Chrono**
Yeah!
**[06:36] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[06:41] Operator A**
Imaginary Score output confirmed!
**[06:44] Yuki**
Already?
**[06:45] Tatsuya**
Right at the start?
**[06:47] Shin**
I ride!
**[06:49] Shin**
Pan of New Style!
**[06:51] Ryuzu**
I ride!
**[06:53] Ryuzu**
Chrono Tigar!
**[06:56] Shin**
You use Gear Chronicle too, huh?
**[06:59] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[07:05] Rive**
Chronojet Dragon attacks your Vanguard!
**[07:10] Rive**
My turn is over.
**[07:14] Rive**
No trigger.
**[07:17] Shin**
Stand and draw!
**[07:19] Shin**
I ride!
**[07:22] Shin**
Atlas of Heavenly Sphere!
**[07:24] Ryuzu**

**[07:32] Shin**
No guard!
**[07:37] Shin**
I ride!
**[07:41] Shin**
Prometheus of Dancing Lights!
**[07:43] Shin**
Come to me, Atlas and Diana of Moonlight!
**[07:46] Shin**
Diana, follow me!
**[07:49] Ryuzu**
No guard.
**[07:51] Shin**
Drive check!
**[07:53] Shin**
Critical trigger!
**[07:56] Chrono**
That's the way, Shinemon! Get 'im!
**[07:59] Shin**
I give the power to Atlas,
and the extra critical to my Vanguard!
**[08:08] Mikuru**
Now his opponent has 2 damage!
**[08:10] Mark**
Keep it up, Shinemon!
**[08:13] Shin**
Diana's skill activates!
**[08:16] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[08:18] Shin**
Force I!
**[08:21] Shin**
Go, Atlas!
**[08:23] Ryuzu**
Steam Bomber, Digul!
**[08:27] Ryuzu**
Guard!
**[08:29] Ryuzu**
My turn!
**[08:31] Ryuzu**
Chronotooth Tigar's skill activates!
I draw one card.
**[08:35] Ryuzu**
I ride Chronobite Tiger!
**[08:41] Ryuzu**
Lost Break Dragon, you're up.
**[08:45] Ryuzu**
Here I go.
**[08:48] Shin**
No guard!
**[08:50] Ryuzu**
Drive check.
**[08:52] Mark**
A critical trigger!
**[08:54] Ryuzu**
I give the power to Lost Break,
and the extra critical to my Vanguard!
**[09:03] Ryuzu**
Lost Break! You go, too!
**[09:07] Shin**
No guard!
**[09:14] Chrono**
Is Shinemon winning?
**[09:16] Rive**
Right now Shinemon has 3 damage.
**[09:19] Rive**
Ryuzu has 2 damage.
**[09:22] Chrone**
Don't ruse, Shinemon! Don't ruse!
**[09:25] Rive**
You mean, "don't lose."
**[09:27] Shin**
Don't worry, I'm not gonna lose!
**[09:30] Shin**
I made up my mind that Mark,
Master and I are gonna be in the finals!
**[09:35] Shin**
So imagine it!
**[09:37] Shin**
The strength of imagination...
**[09:39] Shin**
...will become the strength of Vanguard!
**[09:45] Tatsuya**
Shinemon's Imaginary Score is soaring!
**[09:49] Yuki**
Amazing!
**[09:50] Operator**
130... 140...
**[09:52] Shin**
I ride Quaking Heavenly Dragon, Astraios Dragon!
**[10:03] Shin**
Astraios Dragon!
**[10:06] Shin**
Imaginary Gift, Force I!
**[10:13] Shin**
Atlas! Phosphoros! Come!
**[10:17] Shin**
Atlas's skill activates!
**[10:21] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[10:27] Shin**
Once more! Atlas's skill activates!
**[10:30] Shin**
I draw!
**[10:33] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[10:38] Shin**
Come, Phosphoros!
**[10:40] Shin**
Astraios's skill!
**[10:45] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[10:50] Mikuru**
That's the fifth one!
**[10:52] Mark**
And so speedily!
**[10:56] Shin**
Circle Shift!
**[10:58] Shin**
Once Astraios Dragon has five Imaginary Gifts,
**[11:02] Shin**
the rear-guard circle behind
the Vanguard circle becomes the Astral Plane!
**[11:12] Shin**
O great planetary guardian deity!
**[11:15] Shin**
Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
**[11:25] Operator A**
His Imaginary Score has climbed past 200%!
**[11:29] Tatsuya**
Incredible!
**[11:46] Shin**
Valkerion's skill activates!
**[11:50] Shin**
I get a twin drive!
**[11:52] Shin**
Phosphoros, defeat Lost Break!
**[11:59] Shin**
Now the spotlight's on me!
**[12:01] Shin**
Astral Laser!
**[12:03] Ryuzu**
No guard!
**[12:05] Mark**
Now, Shinemon!
**[12:06] Shin**
Drive check!
**[12:08] Shin**
First check!
**[12:09] Shin**
Second check!
**[12:11] Shin**
Heal trigger!
**[12:12] Shin**
I give the power to Phosphoros!
**[12:14] Ryuzu**
Damage check!
**[12:17] Rive**
Now it's 3 to 2.
**[12:20] Chrono**
Attaboy, Shinemon!
**[12:25] Shin**
Valkerion!
**[12:27] Shin**
Zodiac Blazer!
**[12:33] Ryuzu**
No guard!
**[12:35] Shin**
Twin drive!
**[12:37] Shin**
First check!
**[12:39] Shin**
Second check!
**[12:40] Shin**
Critical trigger!
**[12:42] Shin**
I give the power to Phosphoros
and the extra critical to Valkerion!
**[12:49] Ryuzu**
Damage check!
**[12:56] Mark**
Now he has 5 damage!
**[12:58] Mikuru**
That's the way, Matter-Settler Cinnamon!
**[13:01] Shin**
This is how I win!
**[13:03] Shin**
Phosphoros attacks Chronobite!
**[13:10] Ryuzu**
Perfect guard!
**[13:23] Ryuzu**
Shinemon.
**[13:26] Ryuzu**
Why do *you* think Rive won't
be participating in the finals?
**[13:31] Ryuzu**
My objective in creating this lab
was to change the world through Vanguard.
**[13:39] Shin**
Change the world? How?
**[13:41] Ryuzu**
To be specific, I'm going to
connect Earth to the planet Cray.
**[13:48] Mikuru**
The planet Cray is the world of the game.
I mean, isn't it fictional?
**[13:54] Mark**
Of course it is. The planet Cray is Vanguard's--
**[13:57] Ryuzu**
Wrong!
**[13:58] Ryuzu**
The planet Cray exists!
**[14:01] Ryuzu**
Beyond doubt!
**[14:02] Shin**
No way...
**[14:05] Rive**
Shinemon, Ryuzu isn't lying about this.
**[14:08] Rive**
The planet Cray and all the units
that live there actually exist.
**[14:13] Rive**
I've been working here in order to prove that.
**[14:17] Shin**
Master...
**[14:22] Ryuzu**
My turn! Chronobite's skill activates!
**[14:28] Ryuzu**
To prove the existence of the planet Cray...
**[14:32] Ryuzu**
I ride!
**[14:36] Ryuzu**
Chronofang Tiger!
**[14:38] Ryuzu**
Imaginary Gift, Force I!
**[14:44] Ryuzu**
Chronofang's skill activates!
**[14:47] Ryuzu**
O soaring tiger of the sky!
**[14:50] Ryuzu**
Praise the workings of time...
**[14:53] Ryuzu**
...and let out a roar of bravery!
**[14:56] Ryuzu**
I superior ride Chronotiger Rebellion!
**[15:00] Shin**
What?! Superior riding a grade 4?!
**[15:12] Shin**
That's...
**[15:13] Shin**
...Chronotiger Rebellion!
**[15:17] Ryuzu**
Chronofang's skill activates!
**[15:20] Ryuzu**
Rebellion gets an extra critical
and an extra drive!
**[15:24] Ryuzu**
Chronobite, Wedgemove Dragon,
and Chronotooth, come here!
**[15:31] Shin**
An empty hand!
**[15:32] Shin**
The winner is clear!
**[15:35] Ryuzu**
Rebellion attacks Astraios Dragon!
**[15:40] Ryuzu**
With Rebellion, the fewer cards
in my hand, the more skills it gains!
**[15:44] Shin**
What?!
**[15:45] Ryuzu**
If I have five cards or fewer in my hand,
I can retire two of your front row rear-guards.
**[15:50] Ryuzu**
If I have three cards or fewer in my hand,
my three front-row cards gain +10,000 power!
**[15:54] Ryuzu**
And if I have one card or fewer, all of my
opponent's guardians' shields have -5000 power!
**[16:02] Shin**
What?!
**[16:03] Mark**
What is this?! With all that, he's helpless!
**[16:07] Mikuru**
What do you mean?
**[16:09] Mark**
To guard, he'll need
a lot more cards in his hand.
**[16:12] Ryuzu**
Will you guard?
**[16:14] Shin**
No. He won't be able to deal
4 damage with one attack.
**[16:19] Shin**
No guard!
**[16:21] Ryuzu**
Triple drive.
**[16:23] Ryuzu**
First check.
**[16:25] Ryuzu**
Critical trigger!
**[16:26] Ryuzu**
I give the power to Chronobite,
and the extra critical to my Vanguard.
**[16:30] Ryuzu**
Second check.
**[16:32] Shin**
No trigger!
**[16:33] Rive**
But what's the last card?
**[16:35] Chrono**
What's it?
**[16:37] Chrono**
Do your beast, Shinemon!
**[16:39] Ryuzu**
Third check!
**[16:41] Mark**
Oh my god!
**[16:42] Mark**
A double critical!
**[16:44] Shin**
What? 4 damage?!
**[16:48] Shin**
Here I go! Damage check!
**[16:51] Chrono**
Shinemon...
**[16:55] Mark**
No trigger!
**[17:01] Shin**
Two more!
**[17:06] Chrono**
Shinemon, don't ruse!
**[17:40] Mikuru**
Shinemon lost...
**[17:44] Mark**
Shinemon, who was aiming
to win the Asia Circuit...
**[17:49] Chrono**
No, Shinemon lost!
**[17:55] Yuki**
What?!
**[17:55] Operator A**
The Imaginary Score has
exceeded the fail-safe point!
**[17:58] Operator A**
It's gone from yellow to red!
**[18:01] Operator B**
It's uncontrollable! Uncontrollable!
**[18:04] Ryuzu**
Now it begins!
**[18:09] Shin**
What is this?!
**[18:11] Ryuzu**
A unit summoning experiment!
**[18:14] Shin**
Unit summoning...?
**[18:16] Ryuzu**
Correct. Using the power of our imaginations.
**[18:20] Ryuzu**
The Imaginary Score will now
open a portal to the planet Cray!
**[18:33] Chronodragon**
Who...? Who are you?
**[18:39] Chronodragon**
Hey...
**[18:51] Shin**
Watch out!
**[19:25] Shin**
Master!
**[19:46] Operator A**
Today's unit summoning experiment is a success.
**[19:50] Operator B**
Component analysis complete.
**[19:53] Operator B**
It shows this is constructed from
an unknown material not found on Earth.
**[20:00] Shin**
So then...
**[20:02] Ryuzu**
You understand now, don't you?
**[20:04] Ryuzu**
The planet Cray exists.
**[20:07] Shin**
The planet Cray...
**[20:10] Shin**
Perhaps Cray may actually exist.
**[20:17] Shin**
When you fight, there are moments
when the Cray units feel so close to you.
**[20:23] Shin**
I'll get to meet them someday!
**[20:26] Shin**
That's the feeling I have!
**[20:29] Ryuzu**
Please keep what happened here a secret.
**[20:33] Ryuzu**
If word of our unit summoning
experiment were to go public,
**[20:36] Ryuzu**
I'm sure that someone would try
to use this technology for evil purposes.
**[20:40] Shin**
Gotcha. So this was your reason for
not being able to participate in the finals?
**[20:45] Rive**
Yeah. The next large-scale unit summoning
experiment is scheduled for that same day.
**[20:54] Ryuzu**
Correct. On the night of the next crescent moon.
**[20:58] Rive**
We wouldn't get another shot
at so perfect an opportunity
**[21:01] Rive**
until years down the road.
**[21:03] Shin**
Then I'll help with the experiment, too!
**[21:07] Rive**
No, you idiot! You've got the finals!
**[21:10] Rive**
Ryuzu beat you, so get outta here.
**[21:13] Shin**
I-I know he did, but...
**[21:17] Shin**
The planet Cray is actually real.
**[21:21] Rive**
Yeah. And proving that is my mission. Not yours.
**[21:32] Shin**
I'm counting on you, Master.
**[21:34] Rive**
Likewise. Good luck.
**[21:46] Tatsuya**
Come again sometime!
**[21:48] Shin**
Of course! I'm counting on you, too!
**[21:52] Shin**
Oh, right!
**[21:55] Shin**
On the day of the finals, if we...
**[22:01] Shin**
What's with Master?
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card
is Ryuzu's ace in the hole,
**[23:51] Narrator**
Chronofang Tiger!
***SIGN*** Chronofang Tiger
**[23:53] Narrator**
If you discard cards with a sum of
grades 3 or greater from your hand,
**[23:56] Narrator**
you can superior ride
a grade 4 unit from the deck!
**[23:59] Narrator**
Then seize a victorious fate with the new
ace in the hole, grade 4 Chronotiger Rebellion!
**[24:05] Narrator**
Because, when Rebellion appears...!
**[24:07] Narrator**
But that's all for now!
We'll reveal more in next week's card intro.
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Mikuru**
Hey, Chrono!
**[24:17] Chrono**
What, Auntie Mikuru?
**[24:18] Mikuru**
I told you. You don't have to call me "Auntie."
**[24:21] Mikuru**
Can you just say my name?
**[24:23] Chrono**
Creamy Shindou.
**[24:25] Mikuru**
Not "Creamy"! It's "Mikuru Shindou."
**[24:28] Chrono**
Mil-ky Shin-dou!
**[24:31] Mikuru**
Suddenly I'm a detective!
**[24:32] Mikuru**
You should remember
the right way. One more time!
**[24:35] Chrono**
Cool-see Me-you!
**[24:37] Mikuru**
Huh?
**[24:38] Chrono**
Mi-ku-ru Shin-dou!
***SIGN*** Remind 22

**[00:24] Shin**
A unit?!
**[00:29] Shin**
That actually happened.
**[00:33] Shin**
The planet Cray actually exists.
**[00:36] Shin**
So does this unit,
and this unit and this unit...
**[00:40] Shin**
...and this one and this one,
and this one, and this one...
**[00:47] Shin**
And even Valkerion!
**[00:50] Shin**
Incredible!
**[00:52] Shin**
The world I had only imagined... is all real!
**[01:02] Shin**
If the unit summoning experiment succeeds,
that means I'll get to meet these units!
**[01:10] Shin**
Still, if Master is participating in
such a historic experiment, then why...
**[01:17] Shin**
Why did he have that look?
**[01:21] Shin**
Maybe it bothers him that
he's not able to take part in the finals.
**[01:27] Shin**
No, no!
**[01:30] Shin**
Master!
**[01:31] Shin**
Mark and I will fight to the end in the finals!
**[01:35] Shin**
*You* need to focus on the summoning experiment.
**[01:39] Shin**
"But your future is riding on this tournament."
**[01:42] Shin**
The futures of Earth and Cray
are much more important than my own!
**[01:47] Shin**
It'll be fine! We'll win even
without you, Master, you'll see!
**[01:51] Shin**
Right, Mark?
**[01:54] Shin**
"Yes! No progress!"
**[01:58] Shin**
I mean, "No plankton!"
**[02:03] Shin**
Wrong! "No plan!"
**[02:06] Mark**
I think you meant to say, "No problem!"
**[02:08] Mikuru**
"No plan" just shows that
you're Slacking-Off Cinnamon!
**[02:13] Shin**
Oh, I didn't know you two were here.
**[02:15] Mikuru**
The sign out front said you're "Closed."
**[02:21] Shin**
S-Seriously?!
**[02:33] Mikuru**
I changed it already!
**[02:36] Shin**
Th-Thank you...
**[02:40] Kanzaki**
Weakness is a sin!
**[02:45] Kanzaki**
Tomorrow you will fully realize your weakness...
**[02:48] Kanzaki**
...Team Nippon! And then...
**[02:52] Nanami**
Begone, weaklings!
**[02:54] Kanzaki**
That's *my* line!
**[02:56] Tonori**
Who cares, yo?!
***SIGN*** Team SSS
**[02:58] MC**
That was Team SSS, commenting on
the upcoming Asia Circuit finals.
**[03:04] MC**
Today on the Vanguard Channel, we present:
**[03:08] MC**
"Which Team Will Go On
to the World Grand Prix?!
***SIGN*** Pre-Finals Special! Who will go on to the World Grand Prix?! Team SSS vs Team Nippon!
**[03:12] MC**
A Thorough Comparison Special"!
**[03:15] MC**
For that, we'll be looking back at all of the
previous fights of Team SSS and Team Nippon!
**[03:25] Mikuru**
I apologize to you both.
**[03:27] Shin**
It's not Master's fault.
**[03:28] Shin**
Working on an experiment to change
the world is acceptable enough to us.
**[03:33] Shin**
Right?
**[03:35] Mark**
If you say so, Shinemon.
**[03:38] Shin**
If Master's experiment works out,
wonderful things will happen.
**[03:45] Mark**
Shinemon...
**[03:48] Mark**
Why don't you take the day off?
**[03:51] Shin**
I-I'm fine! I intend to go about my normal
daily business and approach the finals in calm!
**[04:01] Mark**
Is that so? Well, I'm going home.
**[04:10] Mikuru**
Mark!
**[04:13] Mark**
I'm glad that I came to Japan.
**[04:18] Mark**
Cross-cultural exchanges are marvelous.
**[04:22] Mark**
However, they carry a risk.
**[04:26] Mark**
During the Warring States Period,
firearms were imported via Tanegashima,
**[04:30] Mark**
afterwards spreading across the land.
**[04:32] Mark**
This eventually resulted in a gunfight
that would encompass the whole world.
**[04:39] Ryuzu**
If the unit summoning experiment succeeds,
the world will know that the planet Cray exists!
**[04:47] Ryuzu**
So let's make our imaginations reality!
**[04:50] Shin**
Wait, Master! Tatsuya!
***SIGN*** Remind 22 The Day Before
**[06:31] Butler**
What do you think, Ms. Esuka?
**[06:36] Esuka**
It's as I expected.
**[06:38] Butler**
It will be some time
before the final report is ready.
**[06:42] Esuka**
But we're out of time.
**[06:45] Esuka**
Cancel all of my appointments for tonight.
**[06:48] Butler**
Yes, ma'am.
**[06:50] Esuka**
I'm a terrible woman.
**[06:52] Butler**
How so, Ms. Esuka?
**[06:55] Esuka**
I'm about to present him with
two difficult choices yet again.
**[07:01] Butler**
I suspect he may overcome
them this time, as well.
**[07:05] Esuka**
I hope so...
***SIGN*** Shindou Family
**[07:21] Tatsuya**
Are you visiting Tokimi's grave?
**[07:25] Chrono**
Tatsu!
**[07:27] Rive**
How many times do I
have to tell you? It's "Tatsuya."
**[07:32] Rive**
You, too?
**[07:35] Tatsuya**
I just came for some fresh air.
**[07:39] Tatsuya**
That was right before I changed schools, huh.
**[07:41] Rive**
Yeah.
**[07:44] Rive**
While she'd always been physically frail,
I assumed she was more or less fine. Until...
**[07:50] Rive**
...she was gone.
**[07:53] Rive**
I'm sure Chrono doesn't remember her at all.
**[08:00] Tatsuya**
Chrono, do you want to see your mama?
**[08:06] Chrono**
Here's my mama!
**[08:08] Rive**
I told you, I'm "Papa"!
**[08:11] Rive**
Like I always say...
**[08:13] Chrono**
My fend said his mama comes pick him up!
**[08:17] Rive**
Your "friend," huh?
**[08:24] Tatsuya**
Sorry for interrupting.
**[08:26] Tatsuya**
I'll see you at the experiment tomorrow.
**[08:31] Rive**
Tatsuya. You don't play Vanguard anymore?
**[08:37] Tatsuya**
Is it necessary that I do so?
**[08:44] Rive**
Sorry for prying, Tatsu.
**[08:54] Chrono**
It's "Tatsuya"!
**[08:58] Rive**
I get to call him that!
**[09:02] Tonori**
The big day's tomorrow, huh?
**[09:04] Nanami**
Yeah.
**[09:06] Tonori**
Four years in the making...
**[09:08] Nanami**
Four years?
**[09:11] Tonori**
At the Esu Cup four years ago,
we swore we'd beat Team Capital...
**[09:16] Tonori**
...but we never got to go up against them.
**[09:19] Nanami**
Forget that ever happened!
**[09:21] Nanami**
Or else you're not getting any snacks
before the fight tomorrow!
**[09:24] Tonori**
I forgot already, yo.
**[09:28] Tonori**
Once he graduates college, he's gonna
become the manager of Capital, right?
**[09:34] Nanami**
Who knows?
**[09:36] Nanami**
Will he be a pro fighter? The manager?
Or will he choose another path?
**[09:41] Nanami**
I'm sure he'll figure it all out
after the finals are over.
**[09:46] Nanami**
Wanna go by Capital,
to visit the assistant manager?
**[09:51] Tonori**
Shinemon Nitta, huh?
**[09:53] Nanami**
I specifically meant the cat!
**[09:56] Nanami**
I'm dead sure *he's* not minding
the store the day before finals!
**[10:01] Shin**
Welcome!
**[10:02] Nanami**
Why are you working today?!
**[10:06] Mikuru**
He says he's going about his normal business
so that he can approach the finals in calm.
**[10:12] Nanami**
"Normal," huh?
**[10:14] Customer**
Um, what about my change?
**[10:18] Shin**
Oh, that's right!
**[10:23] Shin**
Here's your change.
**[10:29] Nanami**
This is the norm?
**[10:30] Mikuru**
He's actually making more
work than he's accomplishing.
**[10:34] Shin**
Thank you.
**[10:35] Nanami**
Looks like even he's nervous
on the day before the finals.
**[10:40] Mikuru**
That's not the only issue...
**[10:45] Shin**
Hello?
**[10:48] Shin**
Hello?!
**[10:50] Shin**
Who's calling?!
**[10:51] Shin**
Hello?!
**[10:54] Shin**
Hello?! He--
**[10:54] Mikuru**
Hello, Card Capital.
**[10:57] Mikuru**
Yes! Just a moment, please.
**[11:02] Mikuru**
It's Esuka.
**[11:05] Shin**
What do you want?
**[11:09] Shin**
Oh, okay. Bye.
**[11:11] Mikuru**
What was it?
**[11:13] Shin**
She said I could close up early today.
**[11:16] Mikuru**
Huh...
**[11:18] Shin**
And she's gonna take me out
to dinner at a good restaurant.
**[11:24] Nanami**
D-Don't tell me...
**[11:33] Esuka**
Thanks for waiting.
**[11:36] Shin**
S-Sure.
**[11:37] Esuka**
Let's go.
**[11:44] Mikuru**
Is this...
**[11:45] Nanami**
...a date?
**[12:01] Esuka**
How are you feeling?
**[12:04] Esuka**
About tomorrow's finals.
I'm asking whether you think you'll win.
**[12:09] Shin**
O-Of course I'm fully confident!
**[12:11] Shin**
I can't find any factors
that could make me lose.
**[12:14] Esuka**
The same for the other two?
**[12:15] Shin**
Y-Yeah! You don't need to worry
about Mark or Master!
**[12:21] Esuka**
Your team had a weird loss
during the semifinals, though.
**[12:27] Shin**
But I'm in such top form, I may not even
give Master a chance to play in the finals!
**[12:34] Esuka**
Well, it doesn't matter to me who wins.
**[12:38] Esuka**
Either way, it's still good publicity
for Card Capital and Cardshop Esuka.
**[12:44] Esuka**
Both teams making it to the finals
is a major success.
**[12:49] Shin**
As always, you're only thinking about business.
**[12:52] Esuka**
That's not true.
**[13:08] Shin**
This place looks really expensive!
**[13:10] Esuka**
Hey! Shinemon Nitta!
**[13:14] Esuka**
At times like this, the man escorts the lady!
**[13:17] Esuka**
It's common sense for adults.
**[13:20] Shin**
Fine!
**[13:29] Nanami**
What's that?! They look like a couple!
**[13:36] Mikuru**
I-I was just curious about
what restaurants Esuka goes to!
**[13:41] Nanami**
You're not fooling me.
**[13:43] Nanami**
But that's fine.
**[13:46] Nanami**
Ms. Esuka may have money,
but *we* have youth!
**[13:51] Mikuru**
What good does youth do?
**[13:55] Nanami**
We don't have a reservation...
**[13:57] Waiter A**
It's okay, you're a regular. Please, this way.
**[14:03] Mikuru**
You sure have grown up!
**[14:06] Nanami**
This is one of Ms. Esuka's
favorite restaurants. It's got five stars!
**[14:17] Esuka**
I'll have this.
**[14:19] Sommelier**
An excellent choice.
**[14:22] Esuka**
Well...
**[14:24] Esuka**
It's just the two of us now...
**[14:27] Esuka**
...so how about doing it before we eat?
**[14:32] Shin**
My thoughts exactly!
**[14:35] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[14:42] Nanami**
Is that really enough for you?
**[14:44] Mikuru**
I'm not all that hungry!
**[14:51] Mikuru**
I mean, I'm blowing a whole day's
worth of food expenses on this alone!
**[14:55] Mikuru**
Just thinking about that makes me feel full!
**[14:59] Nanami**
High school girls have it rough.
**[15:06] Esuka**
Who's in "top form" now?
**[15:08] Esuka**
I'll have you know,
I haven't played in some time.
**[15:14] Esuka**
What hope is there for someone
who loses like this right before the finals?
**[15:22] Shin**
Again! Please, just one more!
**[15:26] Waiter**
Here you are.
**[15:27] Shin**
I'm not asking for another helping!
**[15:31] Esuka**
Is there something you're concerned about?
**[15:35] Shin**
Yeah. Um, well, like what
comes after graduation.
**[15:40] Esuka**
Certainly, I can imagine you being conflicted.
**[15:43] Shin**
Of course it'd be tough
to give up being a pro fighter,
**[15:47] Shin**
but lately I feel like I'm truly
starting to enjoy running the shop,
**[15:51] Shin**
so I don't want to let that go either...
**[15:54] Esuka**
Anything else?
**[15:57] Esuka**
Well, either way...
**[16:01] Esuka**
There'll be a crescent moon tomorrow.
**[16:04] Shin**
Yeah.
**[16:05] Esuka**
Apparently there was a beautiful
crescent moon two years ago, as well.
**[16:11] Esuka**
On the night of the explosion at Yumigatake.
**[16:18] Shin**
A meteorite crashed into Yumigatake,
resulting in a bunch of casualties, right?
**[16:26] Esuka**
That's the official explanation.
**[16:28] Esuka**
But I wonder if it really was a meteorite.
**[16:31] Shin**
What do you mean?
**[16:34] Esuka**
If a meteorite impacted,
claiming numerous victims,
**[16:39] Esuka**
it should have been visible as a
"shooting star" that lit up the night sky,
**[16:43] Esuka**
and there would've been
a huge flash as it hit ground.
**[16:48] Esuka**
But not a single person
witnessed a shooting star that night.
**[16:52] Esuka**
No such photos exist.
**[16:55] Esuka**
However, someone uploaded
this picture to social media...
**[16:59] Esuka**
...which was deleted soon after.
**[17:04] Shin**
That's...
**[17:05] Esuka**
It's hard to judge from the photo alone,
but it resembles a Vanguard unit.
**[17:12] Shin**
Yes...
**[17:13] Esuka**
You visited Yumigatake recently, didn't you?
**[17:19] Shin**
H-How did you know?!
**[17:23] Esuka**
This is Ryuzu Myoujin.
**[17:25] Esuka**
For better or worse, he's famous
in the world of Vanguard research.
**[17:32] Esuka**
Ryuzu was building a research facility
at the site of the meteorite crash.
**[17:37] Esuka**
Of course my curiosity was piqued.
**[17:40] Esuka**
So I did some digging.
**[17:44] Shin**
Y-You mean...?!
**[17:47] Esuka**
A meteorite wasn't the cause
of the explosion at Yumigatake.
**[17:51] Esuka**
It's more likely an accident caused by
the appearance of a unit from the planet Cray.
**[18:00] Operator A**
Space-time fluctuation values climbing.
**[18:03] Operator A**
At this pace, by tomorrow night,
we'll have reached the highest values on record.
**[18:08] Operator B**
All systems checked. All green!
**[18:11] Operator B**
I'll perform the final check 12 hours from now.
**[18:16] Ryuzu**
Wonderful! Just as I calculated!
**[18:21] Ryuzu**
All we need now is a fighter!
**[18:32] Esuka**
I don't believe that Yumigatake was
the first time a Cray unit has appeared.
**[18:38] Esuka**
All over the world, legends are told
of dragons, giant creatures, and fairy folk.
**[18:47] Esuka**
To a fighter like you, the existence
of Cray must sound very appealing.
**[18:54] Esuka**
Even more so when thrown the concept
that units could actually appear here.
**[18:58] Esuka**
But don't forget what happened at Yumigatake.
**[19:04] Shin**
Ryuzu said it was safe!
**[19:07] Esuka**
There are too many mysteries
surrounding that laboratory.
**[19:11] Esuka**
I couldn't even find out where
they get their research funding.
**[19:15] Esuka**
It's dangerous to swallow
anything Ryuzu tells you.
**[19:18] Shin**
But Master's there, too!
**[19:21] Esuka**
Rive Shindou...
**[19:23] Esuka**
What is that man thinking?
**[19:27] Esuka**
I wouldn't take what he
says at face value, either.
**[19:36] Esuka**
Shall we go elsewhere?
**[19:42] Mikuru**
What could those two
be talking about all this time?!
**[19:51] Nanami**
Is she another one
who goes berserk when hungry?
**[19:56] Nanami**
Hey, they're leaving!
**[20:01] Nanami**
Where's my wallet...
**[20:02] Waiter A**
Your bill has already been paid.
**[20:06] Waiter A**
By Esuka Hibino.
**[20:09] Nanami**
She noticed us?!
**[20:10] Mikuru**
I should've ordered a full-course meal!
**[20:16] Esuka**
Only a handful of people know the truth.
**[20:20] Esuka**
Ryuzu, his assistant, and...
**[20:23] Shin**
Master Rive!
**[20:25] Esuka**
He wouldn't answer honestly if you just ask.
**[20:29] Esuka**
But Vanguard fighters have other means.
**[20:34] Shin**
I'll beat Master in a fight...
and force the truth out of him!
**[20:40] Esuka**
You have a choice to make, Shinemon Nitta!
**[20:44] Esuka**
Fight Team SSS here tomorrow
to win the championship...
**[20:50] Esuka**
...or fight Rive Shindou in the lab
tomorrow to find out the truth!
**[20:56] Esuka**
I've prepared a special weapon
for if you intend to fight Rive Shindou.
**[21:03] Esuka**
So... which will it be?
**[21:19] Shin**
Isn't it obvious?
**[21:26] Shin**
I'll defeat Master Rive!
**[21:29] Shin**
And then come right back here...
**[21:33] Shin**
...to beat them!
**[21:42] Mikuru**
Over there!
**[21:43] Nanami**
Ms. Esuka, where's Shinemon Nitta?
**[21:48] Esuka**
He left.
**[21:51] Mikuru**
Where did he go?
**[21:53] Esuka**
After getting some new cards,
I'd assume he'd go tune-up his deck.
**[22:03] Esuka**
This is the first time
anyone's walked out on me...
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card
is Ryuzu's Chronotiger Rebellion!
***SIGN*** Chronotiger Rebellion
**[23:53] Narrator**
When it attacks, the fewer cards in hand,
the more powerful the skills activated!
**[23:58] Narrator**
If you have one card or fewer, on that turn,
all of your opponent's guardians weaken!
**[24:03] Narrator**
And if this unit appeared
via Chronofang Tiger's skill,
**[24:06] Narrator**
discarding your hand will earn you
an extra critical and an extra drive!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Mikuru**
I just don't get it.
**[24:17] Nanami**
Get what?
**[24:18] Mikuru**
How is it that Shinemon is surrounded by girls?
**[24:21] Mikuru**
There's Esuka, and you, Nanamin, and Misaki...
**[24:24] Nanami**
And you, Mikurun...
**[24:24] Mikuru**
Leave me out of it!
**[24:26] Nanami**
But you don't have to worry.
**[24:28] Mikuru**
Why not?
**[24:28] Nanami**
As they say, everyone's popular
during three periods of their life.
**[24:31] Nanami**
For him, there was right after birth,
then during preschool for the second period,
**[24:34] Nanami**
so right now is his third period of popularity.
**[24:36] Nanami**
Meaning ten years from now,
he'll be totally free!
***SIGN*** Remind 23
Clash between Master and Student
**[24:40] Nanami**
If you're gonna target him,
that's the time to do it, Mikurun!
**[24:42] Mikuru**
I said, leave me out of it!

**[00:01] MC**
Hi there! We're live in front of Card Capital.
***SIGN*** Guard Luck, Team Nippon!
**[00:05] MC**
Team Nippon certainly is loved by the locals.
**[00:08] MC**
While they weren't able to win it
during the World Tour four years ago--
**[00:13] MC**
Ah! The shutters are opening!
**[00:20] Mark**
H-Hi, everybody!
**[00:24] Fan 1**
Who's he?
**[00:25] Fan 2**
No idea...
**[00:26] Fan 3**
Just some guy...?
**[00:29] Mark**
N-Ninja Master verily appreciates
everyone's support as he departs for the front.
**[00:33] MC**
Oh, it's Ninja Master!
**[00:37] Mikuru**
So much for your secret identity!
But more importantly...
**[00:40] MC**
Exactly! Where are Rive Shindou,
the "Board Grappler,"
**[00:45] MC**
and Shinemon Nitta,
the "Mighty College Student"?
**[00:48] Mark**
A-Actually...
**[00:51] Shin**
Ryuzu's experiment is on
the night of the crescent moon.
**[00:54] Mark**
Oh! Like the archer Minamoto no Tomato!
**[00:58] Shin**
In other words, tonight.
**[00:59] Shin**
Which is why Master said
he can't participate in the finals.
**[01:03] Shin**
But if Esuka's right about the
experiment being that dangerous...
**[01:10] Mark**
Wait, hang on!
**[01:12] Mark**
You're *supposed* to say,
"You mean Minamoto no Tametomo!"
**[01:18] Shin**
Mark, I promise you that
Master and I will be there for the finals.
**[01:23] Shin**
If maybe a little late...
**[01:26] Mark**
The finals are important.
Master is important, too. Naturally.
**[01:35] Mark**
A-Actually...
**[01:37] MC**
Actually...?
**[01:38] Mark**
Verily, 'tis a secret!
**[01:42] MC**
I-It appears that Team Nippon
is doing some top secret training.
**[01:48] Ryuzu**
If the unit summoning experiment succeeds,
the world will know that the planet Cray exists!
**[01:56] Ryuzu**
So let's make our imaginations reality!
**[01:59] Shin**
Wait, Master! Tatsuya!
***SIGN*** Remind 23 Clash between Master and Student
**[03:38] Esuka**
"I can't! I can't!"
Is that all you have to say?!
**[03:42] Esuka**
Cards for a clan named "Gear Chronicle"
are actually being shipped, aren't they?!
**[03:47] Esuka**
No one had seen them
before the Asia Circuit semifinals.
**[03:51] Esuka**
Or are you suggesting that
Rive Shindou drew each card himself?
**[03:56] Esuka**
The organizers are allowing them, right?
**[03:59] Esuka**
What on Earth...?
**[04:10] Esuka**
Does Ryuzu Lab have that much pull?
**[04:16] Tatsuya**
Is it okay for you to be here, Shinemon?
**[04:20] Tatsuya**
Don't you have the Asia Circuit finals today?
**[04:22] Shin**
Don't you want to come and watch, too?
**[04:26] Tatsuya**
I have work to do.
**[04:29] Shin**
That reminds me.
We've never discussed it, but...
**[04:32] Shin**
Why are you working here?
Shouldn't you be in high school?
**[04:38] Tatsuya**
Didn't you see it for yourself, Shinemon?
**[04:49] Shin**
The planet Cray actually exists.
**[04:52] Tatsuya**
Vanguard isn't just a card game.
**[04:55] Tatsuya**
It has a connection to the actual planet Cray.
**[04:58] Tatsuya**
So...
**[05:03] Rive**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[05:05] Rive**
Chrono was cranky.
**[05:11] Shin**
Master, there's something
I'd like you to confirm.
**[05:15] Rive**
If you beat me, I'll give you answers.
**[05:19] Tatsuya**
The experiment will begin shortly.
**[05:21] Shin**
What?!
**[05:28] Rive**
We can fight someplace else.
**[05:31] Tatsuya**
But...
**[05:33] Rive**
Let's go, Shinemon.
**[05:34] Shin**
Okay...
**[05:45] Chrono**
Pop...
**[05:55] Ryuzu**
It'll be interesting to see what happens
if he can keep him here until night.
**[05:59] Mishima**
You trust Rive Shindou that much?
**[06:02] Ryuzu**
He's my friend.
**[06:06] Shin**
An old friend? Like Ruga Kaizu?
**[06:10] Rive**
Even older than him.
**[06:13] Rive**
I've known Ryuzu from when
I first started playing Vanguard.
**[06:16] Shin**
And you've been helping him
with his work all this time?
**[06:19] Rive**
Yeah.
**[06:21] Rive**
It's gotten a bit dangerous
on a few occasions.
**[06:25] Rive**
That's what you wanted to ask about, isn't it?
**[06:31] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[06:36] Shin**
Nova Grappler?
**[06:39] Rive**
I wouldn't be able to beat you otherwise.
**[06:47] Rive**
I ride Fusing Striker!
**[06:54] Rive**
Fusing Striker's skill is...
**[06:56] Shin**
+5000 power for a front trigger, right?
**[07:01] Rive**
Exactly.
**[07:03] Rive**
And I call another Fusing Striker unit.
**[07:06] Rive**
That's another +5000 per front trigger.
**[07:09] Rive**
Next, I call Silver Fist!
**[07:12] Rive**
This one also has the +5000
for front trigger skill.
**[07:15] Shin**
That's a total of 15,000.
**[07:18] Shin**
But only if you draw a front trigger.
**[07:27] Rive**
Clay-doll Mechanic attacks your Vanguard!
**[07:33] Shin**
Come, Phosphoros of Auspicious Light!
**[07:38] Rive**
Guarding before anything can trigger?
**[07:41] Shin**
I know quite well how you fight, Master.
**[07:44] Rive**
Then my Vanguard attacks your Vanguard!
**[07:48] Shin**
No guard!
**[07:50] Rive**
Drive check!
**[07:51] Rive**
Front trigger.
**[07:53] Shin**
Including the 15,000 from before,
all of your front row units get +25,000.
**[08:03] Shin**
Damage check!
**[08:05] Shin**
Critical trigger!
**[08:06] Shin**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
**[08:09] Rive**
+10,000 won't be enough.
**[08:11] Rive**
Silver Fist boosts Fusing Striker!
**[08:21] Rive**
It's your turn.
**[08:23] Shin**
Master, is it true that the explosion at
Yumigatake wasn't caused by a meteorite?
**[08:33] Shin**
And that the same thing has occurred in places
all over the world a number of times before?
**[08:39] Shin**
A wide variety of disasters,
legends, demons, dragons, spirits...
**[08:46] Shin**
They all stem from those incidents?
**[08:51] Rive**
That's the phenomenon of Earth
and the planet Cray overlapping.
**[08:54] Rive**
Ryuzu believes that he can make it happen
by using a Vanguard fighter's Imaginary Score.
**[09:21] Chrono**
Pop?
**[09:30] Chrono**
Pop?
**[09:46] Chrono**
Pop's not here...
**[09:49] Dran**
Hey...
**[09:52] Dran**
Are you crying again?
**[09:55] Dran**
Why?
**[10:18] Butler**
This building is the only one
that blocks all outside transmissions.
**[10:24] Esuka**
If that's not suspicious, what is?
**[10:33] Butler**
Go ahead. I shall stand guard outside.
**[10:49] Chrono**
C'mere! I'm here!
**[11:09] Esuka**
You're Rive Shindou's son, Chrono, aren't you?
**[11:13] Ryuzu**
What was that?!
**[11:15] Ryuzu**
Did a summoning almost occur?
**[11:19] Esuka**
Ryuzu Myoujin, I presume?
**[11:28] Ryuzu**
Ms. Mishima, that's enough.
**[11:31] Ryuzu**
And you are Esuka Hibino, correct?
**[11:35] Esuka**
That's me! Former idol and current president
of the Card Shop Esuka Group,
**[11:41] Esuka**
Esuka Hibino!
**[11:43] Esuka**
Um, so I heard you've been using
a new clan that we don't have yet?
**[11:48] Esuka**
I was hoping we could make a deal!
**[11:50] Tatsuya**
The portal had definitely been activated.
**[11:54] Ryuzu**
But nobody was fighting in here.
**[11:59] Esuka**
Wait a minute!
**[12:00] Ryuzu**
Oh, pardon the interruption.
**[12:02] Ryuzu**
What were you talking about again?
**[12:05] Esuka**
It seems the rumors of experiments about
summonings from the planet Cray were true!
**[12:09] Esuka**
As a person who loves Vanguard,
I can't simply ignore your devious scheme!
**[12:16] Shin**
I ride Prometheus of Dancing Lights!
**[12:22] Shin**
Come, Phosphoros of Auspicious Light!
**[12:24] Shin**
Diana of Moonlight!
**[12:28] Shin**
Here I come, Master!
**[12:30] Rive**
No guard!
**[12:32] Shin**
Drive check!
**[12:33] Shin**
Critical!
**[12:35] Shin**
I give the power to Phosphoros,
and the extra critical to my Vanguard!
**[12:38] Shin**
That'll be 2 damage!
**[12:40] Rive**
Damage check.
**[12:45] Rive**
Front trigger.
**[12:47] Rive**
All of my front row units get +10,000 power.
**[12:50] Shin**
Boosted by Diana, Phosphoros...
**[12:55] Shin**
...attacks your rear-guard Fusing Striker!
**[12:58] Shin**
Phosphoros's skill activates! +5000 power!
**[13:02] Rive**
Huh. So your plan is to eliminate
my rear-guards beforehand
**[13:05] Rive**
to mitigate my front trigger effect
as much as possible?
**[13:10] Rive**
However...
**[13:12] Shin**
Guarding here?!
**[13:13] Rive**
You're trying for Diana of
Moonlight's skill, aren't you?
**[13:18] Rive**
I won't let you get an
Imaginary Gift that easily.
**[13:22] Rive**
You won't be able to call
Valkerion on your next turn.
**[13:26] Shin**
Master...
**[13:27] Shin**
You're that serious about beating me?
**[13:31] Shin**
Is Ryuzu's experiment that important to you?!
**[13:33] Rive**
We know now that by using the portal,
a safe connection can be made with Cray.
**[13:39] Rive**
There won't be any more huge explosions.
**[13:43] Shin**
But weren't there casualties in the past?!
**[13:46] Rive**
These experiments are essential,
**[13:48] Rive**
for the sake of our world...
**[13:51] Esuka**
If units come here from the planet Cray,
they'll become dreadful weapons!
**[13:56] Esuka**
World domination: that's your mad ambition!
**[14:06] Ryuzu**
Goodness. You appear to
have mistaken me for a villain.
**[14:11] Mishima**
Our goal is to save our world
with the planet Cray's advanced science.
**[14:17] Mishima**
By using their power, it may be possible
to prevent wars and tragic accidents.
**[14:23] Esuka**
What...?
**[14:26] Tatsuya**
There would be no more
unhappy people in our society.
**[14:34] Rive**
Its fists are like gods,
**[14:36] Rive**
and its standing technique
is the strongest on planet Cray!
**[14:41] Rive**
Fighting Fist Dragon, God Hand Dragon!
**[14:46] Rive**
Imaginary Gift, Accel II!
**[14:49] Rive**
I call Burstraizer to the Accel Circle.
**[14:52] Rive**
On top of that, I move Clay-doll Mechanic.
**[14:55] Rive**
I call Fusing Striker!
**[14:58] Shin**
With God Hand's skill, the front trigger
is +10,000, making a total of...
**[15:03] Rive**
For each front trigger I draw,
my front row units get +35,000 power.
**[15:10] Shin**
For each one?!
**[15:19] Rive**
Witness the true power of God Hand Dragon!
**[15:23] Rive**
By activating its skill, I restand Burstraizer.
**[15:27] Rive**
And with God Hand Dragon's skill,
I get an extra drive.
**[15:32] Shin**
No guard...
**[15:34] Rive**
Triple drive.
**[15:35] Rive**
First check.
**[15:38] Rive**
Second check!
**[15:40] Rive**
Front trigger! All of my
front row units get +35,000!
**[15:49] Rive**
Third check!
**[15:52] Shin**
The total is +70,000?!
**[16:03] Rive**
Go, Fusing Striker!
**[16:05] Rive**
Burstraizer!
**[16:10] Shin**
5 damage...
**[16:12] Rive**
I still have two Fusing Striker units left.
**[16:16] Rive**
Clay-doll Mechanic's boost
makes the power 87,000.
**[16:19] Rive**
The only way to block it
is with a perfect guard.
**[16:24] Rive**
You look like you're in despair.
**[16:27] Rive**
But Shinemon, true despair
is something else entirely.
**[16:31] Shin**
Master...
**[16:32] Rive**
I gave up on being a Vanguard fighter
and ended a long friendship.
**[16:38] Rive**
All for the dream of living an
ordinary life with the woman I loved.
**[16:43] Rive**
But then she...
**[16:47] Shin**
I'm so sorry about what happened with your wife.
**[16:51] Rive**
It's not just me.
**[16:53] Rive**
Why did Misaki's parents have to die like that?
**[16:58] Rive**
The way things are, all I'll ever have
to leave to Chrono and Misaki is despair.
**[17:04] Rive**
It isn't right.
**[17:06] Shin**
But with the planet Cray,
things would be different?
**[17:10] Rive**
It's an unknown world.
**[17:13] Rive**
Though we're living in a lousy reality,
**[17:16] Rive**
I at least want to give Chrono
and Misaki a better future.
**[17:22] Rive**
It ends here!
**[17:34] Shin**
Damage check!
**[17:40] Rive**
A heal trigger?!
**[17:41] Shin**
I heal 1 damage point!
**[17:46] Shin**
It's not over yet!
**[17:48] Shin**
Stand and draw!
**[17:50] Rive**
But you won't be able to call on Valkerion!
**[17:54] Shin**
I ride!
**[17:57] Rive**
What is that card?!
**[18:00] Shin**
A ray of light pierces the darkness!
**[18:03] Shin**
No matter how faint it may be,
I am the one who will recite and extol it!
**[18:09] Shin**
Behold!
**[18:11] Shin**
Origin Deity of Heavenly Light, Uranus!
**[18:14] Shin**
Imaginary Gift, Force I!
**[18:20] Rive**
That makes one...
**[18:23] Shin**
I call Atlas of Heavenly Sphere!
**[18:25] Shin**
Its skill activates!
**[18:28] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[18:32] Rive**
Even so, that's just two. You're still short.
**[18:37] Shin**
Two Phinomenus of the Constellations!
**[18:39] Shin**
Dikei of the Just Path!
**[18:45] Rive**
Dikei?!
**[18:47] Shin**
With Dikei, I look at seven cards from my deck,
**[18:51] Shin**
and if two or more are Astral Poets,
I get an Imaginary Gift.
**[18:54] Rive**
You're depending on such low odds?
**[19:01] Rive**
You had an Astraios Dragon?!
**[19:06] Rive**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[19:10] Shin**
Skill activates for
Origin Deity of Heavenly Light, Uranus!
**[19:13] Rive**
What?!
**[19:14] Shin**
With my new Uranus, I can open the
Astral Plane with three Imaginary Gifts!
**[19:26] Shin**
Circle Shift!
**[19:27] Shin**
Astral Plane!
**[19:37] Shin**
I'll rewrite your imagination to the very end!
**[19:40] Shin**
O great planetary guardian deity!
**[19:42] Shin**
Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
**[19:45] Shin**
Cleave the darkness, O blade of light!
**[19:53] Rive**
You actually succeeded in summoning Valkerion...
**[19:57] Rive**
Was that the will of planet Cray?
**[19:59] Shin**
No!
**[20:01] Shin**
Esuka gave me a new card, that's all!
**[20:05] Rive**
No.
**[20:06] Rive**
The planet Cray actually exists. And also...
**[20:10] Shin**
So what if it actually exists, Master?!
**[20:15] Shin**
Whether the planet Cray is real or not,
it's always existed in our imaginations!
**[20:21] Shin**
Even a cruel and rotten reality
can be changed with imagination!
**[20:28] Shin**
You taught me that with Vanguard!
Don't you remember?!
**[20:39] Shin**
Valkerion! Zodiac Blazer!
**[20:46] Shin**
Twin drive!
**[20:50] Rive**
A critical. So 2 damage...
**[20:53] Rive**
Damage check.
**[21:15] Shin**
Master...
**[21:24] Rive**
Vanguard really is fun.
**[21:27] Rive**
With just one unit,
you became a powerhouse.
**[21:31] Rive**
Imagination can rewrite reality.
**[21:36] Shin**
So tell me what the true objective is, Master.
**[21:41] Rive**
Let's go see Ryuzu.
**[21:43] Rive**
I'll have him explain.
**[21:51] Chrono**
Pop!
**[21:54] Shin**
Esuka...
**[21:58] Ryuzu**
It appears you're just in time
for the start of the experiment.
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card
is Shinemon's new partner,
***SIGN*** Origin Deity of Heavenly Light, Uranus
**[23:51] Narrator**
Origin Deity of Heavenly Light, Uranus!
**[23:54] Narrator**
Unlike with the usual
Uranus or Astraios Dragon,
**[23:57] Narrator**
if you do a Soul Blast with
a sum of grades 5 or higher,
**[24:00] Narrator**
then with only three Force Gifts, you can
deploy the Astral Plane and call Valkerion!
**[24:04] Narrator**
And Uranus has another special skill,
which is... uh-oh, we're out of time!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard
**[24:16] Mark**
Shinemon! You mustn't stop
the experiment at Ryuzu Lab!
**[24:18] Shin**
Mark! Why?!
**[24:20] Mark**
If units from the planet Cray can materialize,
then the female characters can come here, too!
**[24:25] Shin**
Wh-What?! Even Lozenge Magus
and Imperial Daughter?!
**[24:28] Mark**
They can all be my brides!
**[24:30] Mikuru**
So you wanna marry a unit, Shinemon?
**[24:33] Shin**
Mikuru! No, I would never consider--
**[24:36] Mikuru**
Don't tell me you have Valkerion in mind?!
**[24:39] Shin**
Gulp!
**[24:39] Mikuru**
"Gulp"? Why the "gulp"?!
***SIGN*** Remind 24
The Real Opponent
**[24:41] Mark**
Nobody actually *says* "gulp" in the real world!

**[00:08] Shin**
Master...
**[00:16] Rive**
Vanguard really is fun.
**[00:20] Rive**
With just one unit,
you became a powerhouse.
**[00:24] Rive**
Imagination can rewrite reality.
**[00:28] Shin**
So tell me what the true objective is, Master.
**[00:33] Rive**
Let's go see Ryuzu.
**[00:35] Rive**
I'll have him explain.
**[00:44] Chrono**
Pop!
**[00:47] Shin**
Esuka...?
**[00:50] Ryuzu**
It appears you're just in time
for the start of the experiment.
**[01:05] Ryuzu**
If the unit summoning experiment succeeds,
the world will know that the planet Cray exists!
**[01:13] Ryuzu**
So let's make our imaginations reality!
**[01:16] Shin**
Wait, Master! Tatsuya!
**[02:55] Ryuzu**
Our true objective?
**[02:59] Shin**
Yes, that's right!
**[03:01] Rive**
Sorry. I promised to tell him
if I lost to him in a fight.
**[03:05] Chrono**
Pop, you lost again?
**[03:07] Rive**
Don't rub it in!
**[03:10] Ryuzu**
In that case, very well.
**[03:13] Ryuzu**
You would've found out eventually,
so I'll tell you everything.
**[03:16] Yuki**
Director, do you intend to leak
our secrets to an outsider?
**[03:21] Ryuzu**
Outsider? Shinemon is no outsider.
**[03:25] Yuki**
What do you mean?
**[03:27] Ryuzu**
Shinemon Nitta...
**[03:29] Ryuzu**
I'm hiring you as a temporary
employee for one night only!
**[03:36] Rive**
What are you doing?!
**[03:38] Ryuzu**
Shinemon, you're going to
assist me with tonight's experiment.
**[03:46] Shin**
Assist you?
***SIGN*** Remind 24 The Real Opponent
**[03:56] Shin**
Me? Help you with the experiment?
**[04:00] Ryuzu**
Correct! Together, we will
open the portal to the planet Cray!
**[04:09] Shin**
What are you doing?!
**[04:11] Esuka**
It's obvious! There's no sense
in sticking around here!
**[04:15] Esuka**
You've got the Asia Circuit finals!
**[04:21] Ryuzu**
We require his talent, Esuka.
**[04:27] Ryuzu**
If you're leaving, you leave alone.
**[04:30] Esuka**
And if I said I'm taking Shinemon Nitta
with me, by whatever means necessary?
**[04:34] Ryuzu**
I would respond in kind,
if reluctantly, by fair means or foul.
**[04:39] Chrono**
Are those two fighting?
**[04:41] Rive**
Well, I guess you could say that.
**[04:43] Rive**
I disagree with you, Ryuzu.
**[04:46] Rive**
Shinemon should go to the finals.
**[04:48] Rive**
I can do the experiment.
**[04:50] Ryuzu**
Oh, I'm afraid that wouldn't work.
**[04:53] Ryuzu**
You see, Rive...
**[04:55] Ryuzu**
Shinemon's Imaginary Score
is higher than yours.
**[05:01] Ryuzu**
We need him to ensure the experiment
has the best chance of succeeding.
**[05:05] Tatsuya**
What do you say, Shinemon?
**[05:07] Tatsuya**
The finals or the experiment,
which do you choose?
**[05:10] Shin**
W-Well...
**[05:12] Esuka**
You don't have to answer.
**[05:15] Esuka**
Fight me, Ryuzu Myoujin!
**[05:17] Esuka**
If I win, I'm taking Shinemon out of here!
**[05:21] Ryuzu**
But if I win, Shinemon stays.
Will you agree to this?
**[05:36] Butler**
"When you see a crescent moon
at the end of the twilight sky..."
**[05:44] Butler**
What's this?
**[05:50] Chrono**
Huh?
**[05:51] Chrono**
Shinemon doesn't look very happy...
**[05:54] Rive**
I know, but let's not bother him.
**[05:58] Rive**
Shinemon has a lot on his mind right now.
**[06:01] Esuka**
I'm well aware of that!
**[06:03] Esuka**
But if he participates in this experiment,
**[06:06] Esuka**
he'll be forced to continue
cooperating from here on out.
**[06:09] Esuka**
By fair means or foul...
**[06:11] Esuka**
That's just the kind of person
Ryuzu Myoujin is, right?
**[06:15] Rive**
I can't argue.
**[06:16] Esuka**
That's why I'm going to fight.
**[06:18] Esuka**
Nobody has the right to steal
another person's future.
**[06:22] Rive**
Can you win?
**[06:24] Rive**
Ryuzu is strong.
**[06:27] Chrono**
Shinemon, who do you want to win?
**[06:30] Rive**
I'm rooting for Esuka.
**[06:33] Shin**
I...
**[06:35] Tatsuya**
They're starting.
**[06:37] Shin**
I...
**[06:40] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[06:44] Esuka**
I ride!
**[06:46] Esuka**
Jet-ink Fox!
**[06:48] Ryuzu**
I ride!
**[06:51] Ryuzu**
Chrono Tigar!
**[06:53] Esuka**
Stand and draw!
**[06:55] Esuka**
I ride!
**[06:59] Esuka**
Prober of Black Jet, Cecile!
**[07:02] Esuka**
With its skill, I draw a card!
**[07:04] Ryuzu**
My turn. Stand and draw.
**[07:08] Ryuzu**
I ride!
**[07:12] Ryuzu**
Chronotooth Tigar!
**[07:14] Ryuzu**
Wedgemove Dragon!
**[07:15] Ryuzu**
Here I come!
**[07:18] Esuka**
No guard.
**[07:19] Ryuzu**
Drive check.
**[07:21] Ryuzu**
Critical trigger.
**[07:23] Ryuzu**
I give the power to Wedgemove Dragon,
and the extra critical to my Vanguard.
**[07:32] Chrono**
That old lady has 2 damage!
**[07:34] Rive**
Keep your voice down, please.
**[07:38] Ryuzu**
Wedgemove Dragon!
**[07:40] Esuka**
Triangle Cobra!
**[07:45] Esuka**
I ride!
**[07:50] Esuka**
Scientist of Black Sheen, Mathilda!
**[07:53] Esuka**
I'll tell you something: Mathilda has--
**[07:55] Ryuzu**
The "Lottery" skill, in which
varying effects are set into motion
**[08:00] Ryuzu**
depending on whether the card you flip over
from your deck is a normal one or a trigger.
**[08:07] Esuka**
You've done your homework.
**[08:09] Esuka**
Then without further ado...
**[08:13] Esuka**
Ah well, it's not a trigger, but that's fine.
**[08:17] Esuka**
Come here, Binoculus Tiger!
**[08:20] Esuka**
Silver Wolf!
**[08:22] Esuka**
Binoculus! Hammer of Intelligence!
**[08:26] Esuka**
Binoculus Tiger's skill activates!
**[08:34] Ryuzu**
Steam Bomber, Digul!
**[08:39] Esuka**
Now I'm up!
**[08:42] Ryuzu**
No guard!
**[08:43] Esuka**
Drive check.
**[08:45] Esuka**
Critical trigger.
**[08:47] Esuka**
I give the power to Silver Wolf,
and the extra critical to my Vanguard.
**[08:55] Chrono**
Now the director has 2 damage, too!
**[08:58] Esuka**
Silver Wolf attacks Chronotooth!
**[09:01] Ryuzu**
Again, no guard.
**[09:06] Shin**
That makes 3 damage.
**[09:09] Ryuzu**
Oh, yes... Shinemon.
**[09:12] Ryuzu**
I still haven't told you
what our true objective is, have I?
**[09:18] Rive**
He's trying to win Shinemon over!
**[09:23] Ryuzu**
Shinemon, we created this lab
**[09:27] Ryuzu**
in order to investigate the meteorite
that caused the explosion at Yumigatake.
**[09:34] Ryuzu**
But that's just our cover story.
**[09:38] Ryuzu**
The cause of the explosion
wasn't a meteorite crash!
**[09:43] Ryuzu**
It was something from beyond time and space...
**[09:47] Shin**
A unit from the planet Cray...
**[09:55] Ryuzu**
Our investigation revealed that the space-time
fluctuations in this area are extremely high.
**[10:01] Ryuzu**
Do you understand?
Do you know what that means?
**[10:06] Ryuzu**
Correct. There is a possibility that
the same tragedy will happen again...
**[10:12] Ryuzu**
...in the near future!
**[10:14] Shin**
What?!
**[10:16] Ryuzu**
However, if we can create a connection
between Earth and the planet Cray,
**[10:22] Ryuzu**
and summon units before that occurs,
**[10:25] Ryuzu**
we'll be able to avoid the massive damage
from another catastrophic Yumigatake event.
**[10:33] Ryuzu**
That's why we need the power of imagination
produced by Vanguard fighters,
**[10:38] Ryuzu**
or as we call it, Imaginary Score!
**[10:41] Esuka**
And how do you intend to use
the units that you summon?
**[10:46] Ryuzu**
Have you forgotten what he said?
**[10:49] Tatsuya**
There would be no more
unhappy people in our society.
**[10:57] Ryuzu**
Science on the planet Cray
is much more advanced than it is here.
**[11:02] Ryuzu**
They have even taken what
we would call magic or sorcery,
**[11:06] Ryuzu**
and systematized it for practical use!
**[11:10] Ryuzu**
If the skills that units possess
can manifest in our world,
**[11:14] Ryuzu**
sorrow will become obsolete!
**[11:18] Esuka**
Wait a moment!
**[11:19] Esuka**
That sounds so good, there must be a catch.
**[11:22] Esuka**
Aren't there any risks? Is there zero danger?
**[11:25] Ryuzu**
Tonight's experiment will establish a
foothold in resolving such disadvantages.
**[11:32] Ryuzu**
You wish to win the Asia Circuit,
and then reach the pinnacle of the world.
**[11:44] Ryuzu**
But if the unit summoning experiment succeeds,
**[11:48] Ryuzu**
the world itself will
undergo revolutionary changes.
**[11:55] Ryuzu**
Vanguard is a wonderful tool
for changing the world!
**[11:59] Shin**
A tool?
**[12:01] Ryuzu**
So instead of aiming for
the top of a mere gaming world,
**[12:04] Ryuzu**
join us in order to change the *real* world!
**[12:09] Shin**
"Mere"...
**[12:12] Esuka**
What are you droning on about?!
**[12:15] Esuka**
Let's get back to the fight!
**[12:17] Esuka**
I won't let you have his future!
**[12:34] Ryuzu**
Chronotooth's skill activates!
**[12:37] Ryuzu**
I ride!
**[12:41] Ryuzu**
Chronobite Tiger!
**[12:43] Ryuzu**
Wedgemove Dragon, Chronobite Tiger, come here!
**[12:48] Ryuzu**
Chronobite's skill activates!
**[12:50] Ryuzu**
An extra critical, and for no cost,
Chronotooth's skill activates.
**[12:56] Ryuzu**
I draw one card.
**[12:57] Ryuzu**
By resting Chronotooth, I can superior call!
**[13:01] Ryuzu**
Chronobite attacks Mathilda!
**[13:03] Esuka**
No guard!
**[13:05] Ryuzu**
Drive check!
**[13:07] Ryuzu**
Heal trigger!
**[13:09] Ryuzu**
I give the power to my other Chronobite!
**[13:14] Shin**
3 damage...
**[13:16] Shin**
Hang in there, Esuka!
**[13:18] Esuka**
That's "Ms." to you! "Ms. Esuka"!
**[13:23] Rive**
Shinemon, you seriously...
**[13:25] Chrono**
You seriously...
**[13:28] Ryuzu**
Go!
**[13:30] Esuka**
Dictionary Goat, protect me!
**[13:36] Esuka**
Learn well, with wisdom and knowledge,
the truth of all creation!
**[13:43] Esuka**
I ride!
**[13:54] Esuka**
Holy Great Sage of Black Shadows, Isabelle!
**[14:01] Esuka**
Shinemon Nitta's life
doesn't end with the Asia Circuit!
**[14:05] Esuka**
His future is limitless!
**[14:08] Shin**
Esuka...
**[14:09] Esuka**
Imaginary Gift, Accel II!
**[14:15] Esuka**
Isabelle's skill!
**[14:17] Esuka**
This time, I got a trigger!
**[14:19] Esuka**
I add to my hand... and also...
**[14:22] Esuka**
I move Silver Wolf.
**[14:24] Esuka**
Come to me, Geograph Giant!
**[14:27] Esuka**
You join us as well, Monoculus Tiger!
**[14:30] Esuka**
Learn just how powerless you are!
**[14:36] Ryuzu**
No guard!
**[14:37] Esuka**
Twin drive!
**[14:39] Esuka**
First check!
**[14:41] Esuka**
Critical trigger.
**[14:42] Esuka**
I give the power to Binoculus,
and the extra critical to my Vanguard.
**[14:46] Esuka**
Second check.
**[14:48] Esuka**
Front trigger.
**[14:49] Esuka**
All of the front row units get +10,000 power!
**[14:54] Shin**
All right!
**[14:54] Rive**
Now Ryuzu has 4 damage!
**[14:58] Esuka**
Binoculus, teach Chronobite how strong you are!
**[15:03] Ryuzu**
Steam Doctor, Mar-tash guards!
**[15:07] Esuka**
Geograph Giant! Smite Chronobite
with the Fist of Knowledge!
**[15:12] Ryuzu**
Steam Guard, Kastilia!
**[15:16] Ryuzu**
Perfect guard!
**[15:19] Esuka**
Boosted by Silver Wolf, Monoculus Tiger
attacks your rear-guard Chronobite!
**[15:26] Ryuzu**
No guard!
**[15:33] Ryuzu**
Chronobite's skill activates!
**[15:35] Ryuzu**
I draw one card and discard
one card from my hand!
**[15:38] Ryuzu**
I ride!
**[15:43] Ryuzu**
Chronofang Tiger!
**[15:46] Ryuzu**
She has four 15,000 shield cards.
**[15:52] Ryuzu**
So then...
**[15:53] Ryuzu**
Imaginary Gift, Force I!
**[15:59] Ryuzu**
Chronofang Tiger's skill activates!
**[16:02] Ryuzu**
O soaring tiger of the sky!
**[16:05] Ryuzu**
Praise the workings of time...
**[16:08] Ryuzu**
...and let out a roar of bravery!
**[16:12] Ryuzu**
I superior ride Chronotiger Rebellion!
**[16:21] Esuka**
Superior riding a grade 4?!
**[16:26] Ryuzu**
Chronofang's skill activates.
**[16:30] Ryuzu**
I give Rebellion an extra critical and drive.
**[16:34] Rive**
Oh no!
**[16:35] Shin**
Ryuzu has no cards in his hand!
**[16:38] Ryuzu**
I attack Isabelle!
**[16:42] Ryuzu**
Rebellion's skill activates!
**[16:44] Ryuzu**
I retire Binoculus and Geograph!
**[16:48] Ryuzu**
Then I give +10,000 power
to Wedgemove and Rebellion!
**[16:53] Ryuzu**
Furthermore, the shields of all of
my opponent's guardians have -5000 power!
**[16:59] Esuka**
Triple drive or not, there's no guarantee
he'll draw two critical triggers!
**[17:05] Esuka**
I'm guarding here!
**[17:14] Shin**
Esuka's guard is at 57,000!
**[17:17] Rive**
Ryuzu attacked with 43,000.
**[17:20] Tatsuya**
If the director draws two triggers, he'll win.
**[17:25] Ryuzu**
Triple drive.
**[17:27] Ryuzu**
First check.
**[17:29] Shin**
Whew!
**[17:32] Ryuzu**
Second check!
**[17:33] Ryuzu**
Heal trigger!
**[17:35] Ryuzu**
I give the power to Rebellion!
**[17:37] Ryuzu**
That makes the power 53,000!
**[17:40] Ryuzu**
Third check!
**[17:47] Esuka**
No way...
**[17:48] Shin**
A critical trigger!
**[17:50] Rive**
Rebellion's power is 63,000!
**[18:00] Esuka**
First check!
**[18:02] Rive**
No trigger!
**[18:04] Esuka**
Second check!
**[18:11] Esuka**
Third check!
**[18:34] Ryuzu**
It seems Shinemon will be participating in
the unit summoning experiment after all.
**[18:41] Ryuzu**
Would you see yourself out, Esuka?
**[18:46] Shin**
Wait, Esuka!
**[18:48] Shin**
I'm not staying here!
**[18:52] Ryuzu**
What?!
**[18:52] Shin**
I'm leaving with her!
**[18:55] Shin**
And then I'm gonna play
in the Asia Circuit finals!
**[18:58] Esuka**
Shinemon!
**[18:59] Ryuzu**
What are you talking about?!
You said you wanted to meet the units!
**[19:03] Shin**
That's true. And I still want
to meet the units face to face.
**[19:07] Shin**
But then you said:
**[19:09] Ryuzu**
Vanguard is a wonderful tool
for changing the world!
**[19:13] Shin**
A tool?
**[19:15] Ryuzu**
So instead of aiming for
the top of a mere gaming world,
**[19:19] Ryuzu**
join us in order to change the *real* world!
**[19:23] Shin**
"Mere"...
**[19:27] Shin**
You're wrong!
**[19:28] Shin**
Vanguard isn't just some tool!
**[19:31] Shin**
I don't think it's just a game, either!
**[19:34] Shin**
And that's my reason for leaving!
**[19:37] Ryuzu**
Then you force my hand.
**[19:40] Ryuzu**
I will do whatever it takes
to keep you with me!
**[19:45] Esuka**
So will I.
**[19:49] Butler**
Understood.
**[19:51] Butler**
Ms. Esuka bought me
enough time to get everything ready.
**[19:58] Butler**
And so... Click.
**[20:02] Esuka**
Now!
**[20:03] Shin**
Right!
**[20:04] Rive**
This way!
**[20:09] Rive**
Nuts...
**[20:12] Butler**
Leave it to me.
**[20:18] Butler**
Now! This way!
**[20:21] Rive**
All right! Around the back!
**[20:24] Esuka**
Why don't you go to the finals, too?
**[20:27] Rive**
There's something I have to do here.
**[20:30] Esuka**
Oh?
**[20:32] Shin**
Esuka!
**[20:34] Shin**
How do I put this? Um...
**[20:38] Shin**
Thanks a lot!
**[20:42] Butler**
Ms. Esuka, a change of clothing.
**[20:52] Mark**
This is just like the Siege of Takamatsu,
**[20:56] Mark**
after Oda Nobunaga's forces, led by
Toyotomi Hideyoshi, flooded the castle.
**[21:01] Mark**
As in that situation,
I have been left to fight alone.
**[21:04] Mark**
Since Shinemon and Rive aren't here,
I'm the only one who can be counted on.
**[21:10] Mark**
But I'm sure Shinemon will come!
**[21:13] Mark**
Onward!
**[21:15] Mark**
Verily, it is time to take the field!
**[21:22] Shin**
Ryuzu!
**[21:24] Yuki**
You're going to participate in the
unit summoning experiment, Shinemon.
**[21:28] Yuki**
That is the director's will.
**[21:31] Ryuzu**
Correct. I will fight you tonight,
Shinemon, and through that,
**[21:35] Ryuzu**
the portal to the planet Cray will be opened.
**[21:39] Tatsuya**
Wait.
**[21:40] Tatsuya**
Let's revise part of that plan,
**[21:43] Tatsuya**
given that *I* was originally meant
**[21:45] Tatsuya**
to be Shinemon's real opponent for
tonight's unit summoning experiment...
**[21:55] Ryuzu**
What are you saying?!
**[21:56] Shin**
Hey, what are you talking about?!
**[21:59] Shin**
Hey!
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card
is Ryuzu's Chronotooth Tigar!
***SIGN*** Chronotooth Tigar
**[23:54] Narrator**
If Tigar is the Vanguard,
**[23:55] Narrator**
you can draw one card at the
beginning of the ride phase.
**[23:58] Narrator**
And when you discard a unit from
your hand during your turn,
**[24:02] Narrator**
you can call it to your
rear-guard circle instead!
**[24:05] Narrator**
Try combining its skills with
Chronofang Tiger and Rebellion!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Mark**
Oh! Please, introduce yourself!
**[24:18] Butler**
I am Rentarou Hitsujida, the butler.
**[24:20] Mark**
Should I call you Mr. Shitsujida?
**[24:22] Butler**
No, I'm Hitsujida. But "Hitsuji" means sheep,
so you could call me "Butler Sheep."
**[24:26] Mark**
They say that when you can't sleep,
you should try counting sheep.
**[24:30] Mark**
It's because enunciating "sheep" serves to
steady your breathing, making you drowsy.
**[24:34] Mark**
But saying it in Japanese,
as "hitsuji", has no effect at all.
**[24:37] Butler**
To that, a sheep might say,
"Mehhhh, I'm impressed."
***SIGN*** Remind 25

**[00:09] Ryuzu**
I wondered what was up when you said
you were quitting the Vanguard circuit,
**[00:14] Ryuzu**
but I never imagined you were getting married!
**[00:18] Rive**
Is that a bad thing?
**[00:20] Ryuzu**
No, I'm impressed.
**[00:22] Ryuzu**
Young as you are, about to set foot
into that graveyard of life...
**[00:26] Ryuzu**
It takes real courage.
**[00:28] Rive**
Even graveyards are filled with flowers
during the three big memorial holidays.
**[00:33] Ryuzu**
She must be the one you
introduced to me before, er...?
**[00:37] Rive**
Tokimi!
**[00:39] Ryuzu**
That's right! Tokimi.
**[00:41] Rive**
Aren't you interested in
anything but your research?
**[00:45] Ryuzu**
Is that okay?
**[00:46] Rive**
Sure! It's not every day
that someone comes along
**[00:51] Rive**
who's willing to share the journey
of a Vanguard obsessive like me.
**[00:54] Ryuzu**
You're a lucky man.
**[00:56] Ryuzu**
I'd like you to marshal that
good luck for my experiments, too.
**[01:05] Rive**
Well?
**[01:06] Ryuzu**
A negligible rise in
space-time fluctuation values.
**[01:08] Ryuzu**
Given the rain interference...
it's within experimental error.
**[01:12] Ryuzu**
It seems time and space
are just too stable around here.
**[01:17] Ryuzu**
Perhaps I should consider moving the lab.
**[01:22] Rive**
"On Observed Changes in Space-time
Fluctuation Values During Vanguard Cardfights,
**[01:26] Rive**
and Their Potential Applications"...
**[01:29] Rive**
This is the article you submitted
to that scientific journal, right?
**[01:34] Rive**
Another rejection?
**[01:36] Ryuzu**
There are far too many people engaged
in the sciences who possess closed minds.
**[01:41] Ryuzu**
It's deplorable.
**[01:42] Rive**
I can kind of see why
they'd decline to publish it, though.
**[01:46] Rive**
I mean, the crux of it is
that the planet Cray really exists, right?
**[01:52] Rive**
They must think you're nuts.
**[01:55] Ryuzu**
So what?!
**[01:56] Ryuzu**
There are countless examples of hypotheses
**[01:58] Ryuzu**
that were once deemed ludicrous,
but are now established theory!
**[02:01] Ryuzu**
Like the Copernican system!
**[02:03] Rive**
That scientific society's
gonna drop you one of these days.
**[02:06] Ryuzu**
Not as long as I keep up
with their membership dues.
**[02:10] Ryuzu**
Besides...
**[02:14] Ryuzu**
When I announce that, it won't be in
some journal or at a scientific conference.
**[02:18] Rive**
On the internet, then?
**[02:21] Ryuzu**
Oh, right! A wedding present!
**[02:23] Rive**
You don't have to...
**[02:25] Ryuzu**
Instead of continuing to work here part-time,
**[02:27] Ryuzu**
what would you say to becoming
a full-time employee of the lab?
**[02:34] Ryuzu**
With a salary to match.
**[02:37] Rive**
Seriously?!
**[02:44] Rive**
It's stopped...
**[02:46] Mikuru**
Bro!
**[02:54] Mikuru**
I brought a spare umbrella for nothing.
**[02:56] Rive**
Grade schoolers shouldn't be out at night.
**[02:58] Mikuru**
I'm almost in middle school.
**[03:01] Mikuru**
Besides, this may be the last time
I have to take care of you, Bro.
**[03:05] Rive**
Yeah. I'm getting married
and have a full-time job lined up.
**[03:09] Mikuru**
You've got the world in the palm of your hand!
**[03:12] Rive**
Maybe I do!
**[03:13] Mikuru**
Lucky guy!
**[03:19] Ryuzu**
The fluctuations are especially pronounced
on nights when there's a half-moon.
**[03:24] Ryuzu**
I'll have to do a detailed analysis
on the moon's orbit.
**[03:28] Rive**
I've been curious about something.
**[03:31] Rive**
I get that space and time
become distorted during Cardfights.
**[03:35] Rive**
The data supports that.
**[03:37] Rive**
But the proposition that by doing so,
something could appear from another world...
**[03:42] Rive**
How are you so certain that "something"
would be a unit from the planet Cray?
**[03:46] Ryuzu**
I presented my speculations in the article,
but folklore and myths from across the world
**[03:53] Ryuzu**
demonstrate a strong connection
between Earth and Cray since antiquity.
**[03:56] Ryuzu**
Furthermore--
**[03:56] Rive**
I don't buy it.
**[03:59] Rive**
You must have something that proves it.
**[04:04] Ryuzu**
I can hear voices.
**[04:07] Rive**
What voices?
**[04:09] Ryuzu**
The voices of the units.
***SIGN*** Remind 25 The Night at Yumigatake

It's pouring...
**[05:56] Mikuru**
Over here, Dumbro!
**[06:02] Mikuru**
You know I'm busy studying for entrance exams.
**[06:05] Mikuru**
To think I'd still be taking care of you
as a third-year middle school student.
**[06:10] Rive**
Sorry.
**[06:12] Mikuru**
I-It's nothing you have to apologize for...
**[06:15] Rive**
Where's Chrono?
**[06:16] Mikuru**
I put him to bed after dinner.
**[06:18] Rive**
I should wish him sweet dreams…
**[06:20] Mikuru**
Don't you dare wake him!
**[06:38] Rive**
Hello?
**[06:38] Ryuzu**
It's me!
**[06:41] Rive**
Is it experiment time...?
**[06:43] Ryuzu**
No, there's a chance that
something massive is going to happen!
**[06:45] Ryuzu**
Can you get over here?!
**[06:51] Ryuzu**
Remember how I placed
monitoring devices at various locations
**[06:54] Ryuzu**
to help find an ideal site for the lab?
**[06:57] Rive**
Yeah.
**[06:58] Ryuzu**
One of them has been registering values
off the charts for the past hour!
**[07:02] Ryuzu**
I've never seen numbers like this!
**[07:04] Ryuzu**
And they're still rising!
**[07:07] Ryuzu**
This might well generate a tremendous
space-time distortion, causing a unit...
**[07:12] Rive**
From Cray?
**[07:13] Ryuzu**
...to appear!
**[07:13] Rive**
Where?
**[07:16] Ryuzu**
Yumigatake!
**[07:20] Tatsuya**
Ergodiel attacks your Vanguard!
**[07:23] Dad**
No trigger...
**[07:24] Dad**
I lose again, huh?
**[07:27] Dad**
You've gotten better at this, Tatsuya.
**[07:29] Tatsuya**
It's thanks to Shinemon
and the others at Capital.
**[07:33] Dad**
I see...
**[07:35] Dad**
I'm sorry about that. Having to move
after you made such good friends...
**[07:42] Tatsuya**
I don't blame you, Papa.
**[07:44] Mom**
For heaven's sake, are you two still up?
**[07:47] Dad**
We lost track of the time...
**[07:50] Mom**
Well, get to bed.
**[07:51] Tatsuya**
Okay, Mama.
**[08:02] Tatsuya**
The moon is pulsing?!
**[08:08] Ryuzu**
Stop the van!
**[08:12] Ryuzu**
Look at that!
**[08:17] Ryuzu**
It's a gravitational anomaly!
**[08:19] Ryuzu**
Get it on video!
**[08:20] Rive**
Right!
**[08:24] Ryuzu**
Here it comes!
**[08:41] Tatsuya**
Wh-What? A dragon?!
**[08:45] Rive**
I don't believe it!
**[08:49] Rive**
It's flying!
**[09:20] Ryuzu**
Wonderful!
**[09:21] Ryuzu**
Units from the planet Cray,
before my very eyes!
**[09:24] Rive**
My god...
**[09:26] Tatsuya**
They look like...
**[09:29] Tatsuya**
Don't tell me the planet Cray actually...
**[09:44] Ryuzu**
It stopped time!
**[09:55] Dad**
What's happening?!
**[10:34] Rive**
Are you okay, Ryuzu?
**[10:38] Ryuzu**
Those were units from the planet Cray.
**[10:43] Ryuzu**
Such power...
**[10:47] Ryuzu**
Consider the possibilities for humanity
if that could be effectively utilized, Rive!
**[10:54] Rive**
Ryuzu...
**[11:02] Ryuzu**
Rive! Our work may be the most important
research in the history of the human race!
**[11:10] Rive**
There were several villas in that area.
**[11:17] Rive**
It looks like a meteorite impact.
**[11:20] Ryuzu**
Yes, it does.
**[11:22] Rive**
Hot! It's a wave of heat!
**[11:25] Rive**
Hey! Anybody down there?!
**[11:28] Rive**
Is anyone there?!
**[11:34] Ryuzu**
It's hard to imagine anyone surviving that.
**[11:38] Ryuzu**
The police...
**[11:40] Rive**
Even if we told them what really happened,
they would never believe us.
**[11:46] Ryuzu**
I don't care about the police.
**[11:48] Ryuzu**
The problem is this event could give people the
impression that "units from Cray are dangerous."
**[11:54] Rive**
There may be casualties here!
**[11:56] Ryuzu**
Correct. We need to come up
with some plausible explanation.
**[12:01] Rive**
Ryuzu, you're...
**[12:05] Tatsuya**
Help me...
**[12:10] Rive**
Over there!
**[12:11] Ryuzu**
There's actually a survivor?
**[12:15] Rive**
Are you okay?! Hang in there!
**[12:18] Rive**
You're...
**[12:19] Rive**
...Tatsuya?!
**[12:22] Tatsuya**
Papa... Mama...
**[12:38] Reporter**
On the scene at Yumigatake,
the police are still refusing entry.
**[12:43] Reporter**
With me is a witness to the incident,
geophysicist Ryuzu Myoujin.
**[12:48] Reporter**
What can you tell me about
the meteorite impacting the ground?
**[12:53] Ryuzu**
This case bears a close resemblance
to the Tunguska Event in Russia in 1908.
**[12:59] Ryuzu**
We might as well call this
the Second Tunguska Event.
**[13:02] Reporter**
The Second Tunguska Event?
**[13:05] Ryuzu**
The difference is that it took them over
100 years to get to the bottom of Tunguska,
**[13:10] Ryuzu**
whereas this time, I, a scientist,
was on hand to witness it.
**[13:14] Ryuzu**
If authorities allow it, the investigation
should go smoothly under my leadership.
**[13:22] Rive**
Hey, what's this about a meteorite?!
**[13:25] Ryuzu**
I just co-opted your idea.
**[13:27] Rive**
What?
**[13:28] Ryuzu**
You're the one who said it
looked like a meteorite crash.
**[13:32] Ryuzu**
It's easier for the world to accept that.
**[13:34] Ryuzu**
What good would it do anyone
if we made the truth public?
**[13:39] Ryuzu**
More importantly, this is the
perfect location for my new lab.
**[13:43] Ryuzu**
I would do anything to build it here.
**[13:50] Ryuzu**
I've received an offer of
research funding from, er...
**[13:54] Mishima**
Mishima.
**[13:56] Ryuzu**
Right, Ms. Mishima.
**[13:58] Mishima**
I'm only a proxy, to be precise.
**[14:01] Mishima**
My employer is the one
who will be providing the funds.
**[14:04] Ryuzu**
This is Rive Shindou.
**[14:06] Ryuzu**
He's my best friend, and a great collaborator.
**[14:09] Mishima**
I'm Mishima. Nice to meet you.
**[14:13] Rive**
Nice to meet you.
**[14:15] Mishima**
I've read all of your articles, Dr. Myoujin.
**[14:20] Mishima**
I think your research is amazing.
**[14:24] Ryuzu**
Thank you.
**[14:26] Mishima**
There's just one thing I would like
to verify, concerning the funding.
**[14:30] Ryuzu**
What is it?
**[14:32] Mishima**
Was it a coincidence that you were
in Yumigatake on the night of the event?
**[14:39] Ryuzu**
It sounds to me that
you're suggesting it wasn't a coincidence.
**[14:43] Mishima**
A thorough reading of your articles tells me
**[14:46] Mishima**
that some of your space-time fluctuation
monitoring devices were present at Yumigatake.
**[14:52] Mishima**
Doctor, I conclude that your reason
for visiting there in the dead of night...
**[14:57] Mishima**
...was an observed anomaly.
**[15:01] Mishima**
Tell me what really happened.
**[15:04] Ryuzu**
Marvelous.
**[15:07] Ryuzu**
I'll explain what actually happened that night.
**[15:21] Rive**
I'm surprised you got
permission to construct it here.
**[15:24] Mishima**
No one would object to a facility being built
**[15:26] Mishima**
for the purpose of investigating
the explosion at Yumigatake.
**[15:30] Rive**
What should I do?
**[15:32] Ryuzu**
Help me with my experiments, of course.
**[15:35] Ryuzu**
Experiments to summon units to this area.
**[15:39] Ryuzu**
In short, unit summoning experiments.
**[15:43] Mishima**
If these experiments succeed, that will
also elucidate the true cause of the explosion.
**[15:48] Mishima**
So it's not as if we're lying to the public.
**[15:52] Rive**
You make it sound so simple.
**[16:10] Ryuzu**
Rive. Before the experiment, come to my office.
**[16:15] Rive**
What can I do for you, Ryuzu?
**[16:18] Tatsuya**
Rive...
**[16:20] Rive**
Tatsuya? What are you doing here?
**[16:23] Tatsuya**
Starting today, I'll be living and working here.
**[16:27] Ryuzu**
I see you need no introduction.
**[16:30] Rive**
No.
**[16:31] Mishima**
For now, he'll be working here
as a research assistant.
**[16:37] Mishima**
I sent you an email with
the details of your assignment.
**[16:41] Tatsuya**
Yes, I received it.
**[16:43] Mishima**
Then that's all for today.
**[16:46] Ryuzu**
Yes, you may go.
**[16:49] Tatsuya**
Have a good evening, Director. Rive.
**[17:00] Rive**
Tatsuya is still in middle school!
**[17:02] Rive**
What are you doing?!
**[17:04] Ryuzu**
First of all...
**[17:06] Ryuzu**
Take a look at this deck.
**[17:11] Rive**
The name of the clan is... Gear Chronicle?
**[17:20] Rive**
Those units were from Gear Chronicle.
**[17:23] Ryuzu**
Regrettably, his parents
lost their lives in the incident.
**[17:28] Ryuzu**
But it's possible that he saw what happened.
**[17:31] Rive**
So you want to keep the witness close by?
**[17:35] Ryuzu**
It's what he wishes, as well.
**[17:39] Rive**
This is where his parents died...
**[17:42] Rive**
I'm surprised he'd want to be here.
**[17:45] Ryuzu**
He's smart as a whip.
**[17:47] Ryuzu**
For a middle schooler.
**[17:56] Rive**
Is Chrono in bed?
**[17:58] Rive**
I see.
**[18:00] Rive**
No, you don't have to wake him.
**[18:02] Rive**
Thanks again, Mikuru.
**[18:19] Ryuzu**
Gear Chronicle units appeared
from the space-time distortion.
**[18:24] Ryuzu**
In other words, it's only natural
to assume the space-time distortion
**[18:27] Ryuzu**
that still remains in this area
has a connection to the Gear Chronicle units.
**[18:33] Ryuzu**
Am I correct, Chronotiger Rebellion?
**[18:37] Rebellion**
Yes. You are correct.
**[18:41] Ryuzu**
In order to summon a unit via that distortion,
we have to use the corresponding deck.
**[18:49] Ryuzu**
Put that way, it seems self-evident.
**[18:52] Ryuzu**
Yet I had missed it.
**[18:54] Rebellion**
But now you know.
**[18:59] Ryuzu**
Gear Chronicle is a clan that rules time.
**[19:02] Ryuzu**
If the summoning experiment succeeds,
and I become able to summon units at will,
**[19:08] Ryuzu**
I'll be the master of time itself!
**[19:12] Rebellion**
I'll do everything I can to help you, Ryuzu.
**[19:16] Ryuzu**
Earth's history is in the palm of my hand!
**[19:24] Rive**
Tatsuya?
***SIGN*** Now...
**[19:31] Tatsuya**
I'm Shinemon's true opponent.
**[19:36] Ryuzu**
Meaning, you wish to perform the
unit summoning experiment with Shinemon?
**[19:40] Ryuzu**
For what reason, Tatsuya?
**[19:42] Rive**
You want to save your parents, don't you?
**[19:45] Shin**
Tatsuya's parents?
**[19:46] Butler**
Their names are on the register of those
who died in the explosion at Yumigatake.
**[19:53] Ryuzu**
Out of the question.
**[19:54] Ryuzu**
You've seen my research firsthand,
so you know why you can't.
**[19:58] Tatsuya**
But I can *imagine* it.
**[20:01] Tatsuya**
A world where my parents
are still alive and happy.
**[20:04] Ryuzu**
In your imagination?
**[20:06] Tatsuya**
Then, how about this.
**[20:08] Tatsuya**
Let's decide which is correct--
your theory or my imagination--
**[20:12] Tatsuya**
with a fight.
**[20:14] Tatsuya**
The winner of that...
**[20:16] Ryuzu**
...will fight Shinemon Nitta, correct?
**[20:20] Tatsuya**
Director, there's something
important that you've overlooked.
**[20:24] Tatsuya**
If you fight Shinemon without that information,
the summoning experiment will not succeed.
**[20:31] Ryuzu**
Oh? Intriguing.
**[20:35] MC**
And now, let's have both teams enter the arena!
**[20:46] Mark**
Of course everybody's surprised.
**[20:49] Mark**
There's only one person
standing on the finals stage.
**[20:53] Mark**
However, until Shinemon's arrival...
**[20:56] Mark**
...then come what may,
I shall survive on my own... verily!
**[21:04] Oyama**
Um, what're you doing here?
**[21:05] MC**
Uh...
**[21:06] MC**
This is for the match to decide third place...
**[21:13] Mikuru**
Oh, Mark...
**[21:18] Mark**
Verily, it appears I had not been summoned...
**[21:22] Mark**
In which case, I shall make my exit.
**[21:28] Oyama**
Ninja Master's one heck of an entertainer!
**[21:31] Tonori**
He was alone, yo.
**[21:33] Nanami**
Yeah...
**[21:35] Nanami**
Ms. Esuka isn't here yet, either.
**[21:37] Nanami**
I have a feeling something bad is happening.
**[21:45] Esuka**
I wonder what's happening with the Asia Circuit.
**[21:49] Shin**
All I can do is have faith in Mark.
**[21:51] Ryuzu**
And if I win, you'll tell me
what it is I've overlooked?
**[21:56] Ryuzu**
Assuming that something even exists.
**[22:01] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card is
Shinemon's Dikei of the Just Path!
***SIGN*** Dikei of the Just Path
**[23:53] Narrator**
When placed, if you put a card
from your hand into the Soul,
**[23:56] Narrator**
its skill will activate!
**[23:57] Narrator**
Look at the top seven cards of your deck,
**[23:59] Narrator**
and if there are two or more Astral Poets,
**[24:03] Narrator**
you'll get an Imaginary Gift, Force!
**[24:06] Narrator**
It's risky, but if luck is on your side,
you'll be able to deploy the Astral Plane early!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Rive**
Oh, here's a letter from a girl.
**[24:17] Rive**
Let's see... "I also believe
that the planet Cray exists.
**[24:20] Rive**
"In fact, in a past life, I was Neo Nectar's
Lily of the Valley Musketeer, Rebecca.
**[24:23] Rive**
"Which one were you, Ryuzu? Please tell"--
**[24:26] Rive**
Hey, Ryuzu!
**[24:26] Ryuzu**
Ever since my article about the actual
existence of Cray was published in a journal,
**[24:29] Ryuzu**
I've been receiving letters like this.
**[24:31] Rive**
A journal actually published it?!
**[24:33] Ryuzu**
Alongside articles about the Lost Continent
of Mu, Nostradamus, and spirit photography.
**[24:36] Rive**
That's no journal!
**[24:37] Ryuzu**
This is shocking, Rive!
The world is going to end!
***SIGN*** Remind 26
Arch-aider Malkuth-melekh

In July of 1999!
**[24:42] Rive**
That passed a long time ago!

**[00:01] Ryuzu**
Meaning, you wish to perform the
unit summoning experiment with Shinemon?
**[00:04] Ryuzu**
For what reason, Tatsuya?
**[00:07] Rive**
You want to save your parents, don't you?
**[00:09] Shin**
Tatsuya's parents?
**[00:11] Butler**
Their names are on the register of those
who died in the explosion at Yumigatake.
**[00:18] Tatsuya**
Director, there's something
important that you've overlooked.
**[00:22] Tatsuya**
If you fight Shinemon without that information,
the summoning experiment will not succeed.
**[00:29] Ryuzu**
Oh? Intriguing.
**[00:36] Esuka**
If it's possible to control time and
prevent disasters after they've occurred,
**[00:41] Esuka**
then even the the explosion at
Yumigatake could be effectively erased.
**[00:45] Rive**
Tatsuya's deck is Angel Feather?
**[00:49] Shin**
Tatsuya...
**[00:52] Shin**
Even now, you use that clan?
**[00:57] Tatsuya**
Of course.
**[01:00] Tatsuya**
It's the clan I used when you
taught me how much fun Vanguard is.
**[01:04] Tatsuya**
Angel Feather is my wings!
***SIGN*** Remind 26 Arch-aider Malkuth-melekh
**[02:48] Tatsuya**
Aid-roid, Resh!
**[02:53] Ryuzu**
Chrono Tigar.
**[02:54] Tatsuya**
I ride Aid-roid, Lamedo!
**[03:01] Shin**
I guess he reorganized his deck.
**[03:04] Rive**
Even though he said he quit Vanguard...
**[03:09] Ryuzu**
I ride Chronotooth Tigar
and call Wedgemove Dragon.
**[03:14] Ryuzu**
Here I come.
**[03:16] Ryuzu**
I'm not done yet. Go, Wedgemove!
**[03:19] Wedgemove**
Gladly, my Vanguard!
**[03:25] Tatsuya**
Thank you.
**[03:29] Tatsuya**
I ride!
**[03:33] Tatsuya**
Aid-roid, Zayin!
**[03:36] Tatsuya**
Million Ray Pegasus!
**[03:41] Ryuzu**
No guard!
**[03:45] Tatsuya**
If the opponent's Vanguard takes damage,
Zayin gets +10,000 power.
**[03:49] Tatsuya**
Now it attacks your Vanguard!
**[03:52] Ryuzu**
No guard here, either.
**[03:54] Shin**
No guard, without hesitation!
**[03:56] Esuka**
He has confidence.
**[03:58] Esuka**
Next turn, he'll swoop in and negate
that damage, just like he did in our match.
**[04:02] Shin**
Tatsuya must realize that already.
**[04:07] Hitsujida**
Ahem.
**[04:09] Hitsujida**
Forgive me for interjecting...
**[04:12] Hitsujida**
Ms. Esuka and Mr. Nitta,
**[04:15] Hitsujida**
are you hoping that Tatsuya Tachibana will win?
**[04:19] Shin**
He's better than Ryuzu.
**[04:21] Rive**
Do you really think so?
**[04:22] Shin**
Master?
**[04:24] Rive**
Certainly, Ryuzu can be reckless.
**[04:27] Rive**
If his experiment took a dangerous direction,
I'm willing and prepared to stop it by force.
**[04:33] Rive**
But the other thing that
made me uneasy was Tatsuya.
**[04:36] Esuka**
Tatsuya Tachibana wants to erase
the event that killed his parents.
**[04:42] Rive**
He'll do anything for that.
**[04:46] Rive**
That's the feeling I get.
**[04:48] Rive**
I've also lost someone dear to me,
so I know how he feels.
**[04:54] Shin**
No wonder he didn't say anything to us...
**[04:58] Hitsujida**
Actually, while investigating Ryuzu Lab,
I realized Tatsuya Tachibana's true goal.
**[05:06] Hitsujida**
It is--
**[05:07] Mishima**
It's Director Ryuzu's turn.
**[05:09] Mishima**
Be quiet and watch the match.
**[05:11] Ryuzu**
I ride!
**[05:14] Ryuzu**
Chronobite Tiger!
**[05:17] Ryuzu**
One more Chronobite unit, join the lineup.
**[05:22] Ryuzu**
My rear-guard Chronobite's skill.
**[05:25] Ryuzu**
By discarding the Chronotooth
from my hand, I get an extra critical.
**[05:29] Esuka**
But he can superior call
that discarded Chronotooth.
**[05:35] Esuka**
Here it comes.
**[05:36] Ryuzu**
My Vanguard Chronobite Tiger attacks!
**[05:39] Tatsuya**
No guard.
**[05:41] Ryuzu**
Drive check.
**[05:43] Tatsuya**
A critical trigger.
**[05:45] Ryuzu**
Well, well.
**[05:46] Ryuzu**
I give the power to my rear-guard Chronobite,
and the extra critical to my Vanguard.
**[05:50] Ryuzu**
That's 2 damage.
**[05:52] Tatsuya**
Damage check.
**[05:56] Ryuzu**
Next, I attack with my rear-guard Chronobite,
boosted by Wedgemove.
**[06:04] Tatsuya**
Battle Cupid, Nociel!
**[06:10] Shin**
Oh, so he had a perfect guard.
**[06:12] Esuka**
This wasn't the time to use it!
**[06:15] Rive**
Ryuzu's strongest unit is Rebellion.
**[06:18] Rive**
Rebellion can decrease
the opponent's units' shields.
**[06:22] Rive**
A perfect guard is the only defense against it.
**[06:26] Shin**
But Tatsuya used it here...
**[06:41] Tatsuya**
Don't worry.
**[06:44] Tatsuya**
I've also gained a trustworthy partner.
**[06:48] Tatsuya**
No, I should call it my guardian angel!
**[06:53] Tatsuya**
The tender love that will soothe all lives...
**[06:57] Tatsuya**
...no matter how wounded or defeated they are!
**[07:01] Tatsuya**
Come to me!
**[07:03] Tatsuya**
Arch-aider Malkuth-melekh!
**[07:32] MC**
And that's the game!
**[07:34] MC**
In the battle for the Asia Circuit third place,
**[07:37] MC**
Ryutarou Oyama of Team Snowy Mountain
fought it out to the end by himself,
**[07:43] MC**
and captured the glory of third place!
**[07:47] Oyama**
It doesn't feel like I won
without Ruga participating.
**[07:51] Nanami**
Neither Shinemon nor Rive are here yet?
**[07:56] Misaki**
No.
**[07:57] Mikuru**
But I'm sure they'll make it--
**[07:58] Nanami**
At this rate, it'll be
Team Armageddon all over again.
**[08:02] Nanami**
It will be you against me, Tonori,
and Yuichirou Kanzaki.
**[08:08] Mark**
Mr. Oyama won all by himself.
**[08:11] Tonori**
You sayin' you don't need your teammates?
**[08:32] Tatsuya**
Arch-aider Malkuth-melekh!
**[08:37] Tatsuya**
Imaginary Gift, Protect II!
**[08:45] Ryuzu**
You're sure you want II?
**[08:51] Esuka**
Despite the fact that Protect I would work
as a perfect guard against Ryuzu's Rebellion...
**[08:58] Shin**
Is he that confident in Malkuth-melekh?
**[09:02] Tatsuya**
Malkuth-melekh's skill activates.
**[09:05] Tatsuya**
It delivers 1 damage to my opponent.
**[09:14] Ryuzu**
A skill that does damage as the unit is placed?!
**[09:17] Tatsuya**
Go ahead. Do a damage check.
**[09:22] Shin**
What an incredible skill.
**[09:24] Shin**
That makes 3 damage.
**[09:26] Shin**
If he keeps it up,
maybe he'll win this turn!
**[09:28] Esuka**
You think Ryuzu is a pushover?
**[09:31] Tatsuya**
Furthermore, Malkuth-melekh's other skill.
**[09:34] Tatsuya**
I call up to three cards
from my Drop Zone as rear-guards.
**[09:37] Ryuzu**
What?!
**[09:38] Tatsuya**
Be revived, Sectio! Zayin!
**[09:44] Tatsuya**
Be revived, Lamedo!
**[09:58] Tatsuya**
The price... of resurrection...
**[10:02] Tatsuya**
will be paid... by Malkuth-melekh!
**[10:09] Tatsuya**
Malkuth-melekh...
**[10:13] Tatsuya**
...takes 1 damage!
**[10:37] Rive**
A skill in which you bring back allies
in exchange for taking damage yourself?!
**[10:41] Esuka**
Why would he let it reach 4 damage for that?!
**[10:44] Tatsuya**
Damage check...
**[10:46] Tatsuya**
Critical trigger.
**[10:48] Tatsuya**
I give the power to Zayin and
the extra critical to Malkuth-melekh.
**[10:52] Tatsuya**
Next, the skills of the units I brought back!
**[11:04] Ryuzu**
A marvelous twist.
**[11:07] Ryuzu**
But Tatsuya, I want you to understand something.
**[11:10] Ryuzu**
The explosion at Yumigatake
that stole the lives of your parents...
**[11:14] Ryuzu**
That event alone cannot
be expunged from past history.
**[11:21] Ryuzu**
Even if you are able to
master time with Gear Chronicle.
**[11:25] Hitsujida**
I suspected as much.
**[11:29] Shin**
Why do you believe him?
**[11:32] Hitsujida**
If the power of Gear Chronicle were used
to prevent the explosion at Yumigatake,
**[11:38] Hitsujida**
there would be no way to prove a possible
connection between the planet Cray and Earth.
**[11:44] Esuka**
The tragedy at Yumigatake is what
allowed him to build Ryuzu Lab here
**[11:49] Esuka**
and perform unit summoning experiments.
**[11:52] Esuka**
If that never happened...
**[11:54] Rive**
Ryuzu and I would still be at his old lab,
repeating experiments that don't go anywhere.
**[12:03] Shin**
Wait, am I the only one who doesn't get it?
**[12:06] Esuka**
If Ryuzu is serious about
preventing future tragedies,
**[12:09] Esuka**
then the tragedy at Yumigatake
must be allowed to have taken place.
**[12:25] Ryuzu**
Perfect guard.
**[12:29] Tatsuya**
I'll do a drive check.
**[12:31] Tatsuya**
First check.
**[12:32] Tatsuya**
Heal trigger.
**[12:34] Tatsuya**
I give the power to Million Ray Pegasus,
and heal 1 damage point.
**[12:39] Tatsuya**
Second check.
**[12:40] Tatsuya**
No trigger.
**[12:42] Ryuzu**
Too bad. What's your next attack?
**[12:46] Tatsuya**
Zayin attacks your Vanguard.
**[12:48] Ryuzu**
No guard.
**[12:53] Ryuzu**
Damage check.
**[12:54] Ryuzu**
Draw trigger. I give the power to my Vanguard.
**[12:57] Tatsuya**
Million Ray Pegasus attacks your Vanguard
with a boost from Sectio!
**[13:02] Ryuzu**
Steam Bomber, Digul!
**[13:04] Esuka**
Ryuzu's guard worked again.
**[13:07] Shin**
Even after Tatsuya unveiled a new partner!
**[13:11] Rive**
And now... *that* is coming.
**[13:14] Ryuzu**
I ride Chronofang Tiger!
**[13:24] Ryuzu**
Imaginary Gift, Force I!
**[13:27] Ryuzu**
Interdimensional Dragonknight, Lost Legend!
**[13:32] Rive**
Chronofang Tiger allows him to superior ride
a grade 4 unit from his deck.
**[13:38] Rive**
A Grade 4, meaning...
**[13:42] Shin**
Rebellion.
**[13:45] Ryuzu**
O soaring tiger of the sky!!
**[13:48] Ryuzu**
Praise the workings of time...
**[13:49] Ryuzu**
...and let out a roar of bravery!
**[13:52] Ryuzu**
I ride!
**[14:00] Ryuzu**
Chronotiger Rebellion!
**[14:04] Ryuzu**
Chronofang's skill activates!
**[14:06] Ryuzu**
Rebellion gets a triple drive
and two criticals!
**[14:14] Ryuzu**
I have one card in my hand.
**[14:16] Ryuzu**
All of Rebellion's skills activate!
**[14:19] Ryuzu**
First, I retire two of your rear-guard units.
**[14:23] Ryuzu**
Second, my front row units get +10,000 power!
**[14:31] Ryuzu**
Third, all of my opponent's guardians
get -5000 shield!
**[14:36] Ryuzu**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[14:39] Tatsuya**
Nociel!
**[14:43] Shin**
He still had another perfect guard?!
**[14:46] Esuka**
But Ryuzu has triple drive.
**[14:49] Ryuzu**
First check.
**[14:51] Ryuzu**
Second check.
**[14:53] Tatsuya**
A critical trigger!
**[14:55] Ryuzu**
I give all of the effects to Lost Legend.
**[14:58] Ryuzu**
Third check.
**[15:00] Ryuzu**
Double critical!
**[15:02] Ryuzu**
I give all of the effects to Chronobite Tiger.
**[15:05] Ryuzu**
And now, Lost Legend attacks your Vanguard!
**[15:09] Tatsuya**
No guard.
**[15:10] Ryuzu**
Are you sure? That's 2 damage.
**[15:15] Tatsuya**
First check.
**[15:17] Tatsuya**
Second check.
**[15:21] Ryuzu**
Chronobite Tiger also has 2 criticals.
**[15:24] Ryuzu**
End of the line.
**[15:27] Tatsuya**
I guard.
**[15:30] Shin**
Guarding with every card
in his hand won't be enough!
**[15:33] Tatsuya**
Intercept!
**[15:41] Rive**
If there's an Imaginary Gift
in the same column as that unit,
**[15:45] Rive**
it can intercept from the back row?
**[15:47] Esuka**
That's why he chose Protect II.
**[15:51] Ryuzu**
I retire Rebellion and ride Chronofang.
**[15:57] Tatsuya**
Your turn is over, eh?
**[16:03] Staff A**
Tatsuya Tachibana's Imaginary Score...
**[16:05] Staff A**
...is suddenly rising!
**[16:09] Ryuzu**
I never thought such values were possible!
**[16:11] Ryuzu**
With numbers like that,
another summoning might occur!
**[16:21] Ryuzu**
But you have no cards in your hand.
**[16:23] Ryuzu**
And at 5 damage, you can't take damage
to revive any rear-guards, either.
**[16:29] Ryuzu**
It seems there's not much you can do.
**[16:32] Tatsuya**
Is that right?
**[16:34] Tatsuya**
I ride Malkuth-melekh again!
**[16:37] Ryuzu**
You drew a second Malkuth-melekh?!
**[16:40] Tatsuya**
When Malkuth-melekh is placed, an opposing
Vanguard of grade 2 will take damage.
**[16:46] Tatsuya**
However, if it's grade 3 or higher,
then I heal 1 damage point!
**[16:52] Ryuzu**
You're back to 4 damage!
**[16:54] Ryuzu**
Does this mean you can use that skill again?!
**[16:57] Tatsuya**
That's right.
**[16:58] Tatsuya**
For the price of 1 damage,
I give these fallen units...
**[17:02] Tatsuya**
...the gift of life!
**[17:04] Tatsuya**
Be revived, Zayin!
**[17:06] Tatsuya**
Million Ray Pegasus!
**[17:08] Tatsuya**
Be revived, Thousand Ray Pegasus!
**[17:15] Shin**
He did damage to himself again!
**[17:18] Tatsuya**
Damage check!
**[17:19] Tatsuya**
Critical trigger!
**[17:21] Tatsuya**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard!
**[17:23] Tatsuya**
Malkuth-melekh attacks your Vanguard
with a boost from Lamedo!
**[17:36] Ryuzu**
I guard with two Digul units! 43,000!
**[17:40] Tatsuya**
First check!
**[17:42] Tatsuya**
Second check!
**[17:45] Shin**
A critical!
**[17:47] Tatsuya**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard.
**[17:49] Tatsuya**
With this, I have 50,000 power.
**[17:51] Ryutarou**
Three criticals... 3 damage?!
**[17:56] Tatsuya**
Do your damage check.
**[18:07] Ryuzu**
Damage check!
**[18:11] Ryuzu**
Second check!
**[18:29] Ryuzu**
No summoning from the planet Cray occurred.
**[18:34] Tatsuya**
I knew you were missing something crucial.
**[18:46] Ryuzu**
Hey! What are you doing?!
**[18:48] Mishima**
It's dangerous here.
**[18:50] Mishima**
You should leave as well.
**[19:03] Ryuzu**
You must be joking!
**[19:07] Shin**
What's happening?!
**[19:08] Rive**
Nothing good...
**[19:09] Esuka**
Run!
**[19:13] Rive**
Ryuzu!
**[19:26] Rive**
No...!
**[19:27] Chrono**
Pop!
**[20:13] Shin**
My god...
**[20:23] Ryuzu**
M-Mishima, what are you...
**[20:27] Mishima**
I'm just following Tatsuya's orders.
**[20:34] Ryuzu**
If the explosion at Yumigatake
doesn't happen, history can't be revised!
**[20:40] Tatsuya**
That tragedy will happen.
**[20:47] Tatsuya**
But it will be the final one.
**[20:52] Shin**
Tatsuya, I thought you wanted to use
Gear Chronicle's power to change the past!
**[20:58] Tatsuya**
Not the past.
**[21:00] Tatsuya**
I'm going to change reality itself!
**[21:08] Crowd**
Nippon! Champion! Champion!
**[21:10] Crowd**
Nippon! Nippon! Champion! Champion!
**[21:20] Mark**
Verily, this time I shall go into battle.
**[21:30] Tatsuya**
The one I wish to summon is Malkuth-melekh.
**[21:33] Tatsuya**
You saw, didn't you?
**[21:35] Tatsuya**
With power like that, it can even
bring the dead back to life!
**[21:45] Shin**
Bring them back to life...
**[21:56] Tatsuya**
Shinemon, have a Vanguard fight with me.
**[22:00] Tatsuya**
Please.
**[22:03] Shin**
Tatsuya...
**[23:46] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Tatsuya's ace
in the hole, Arch-aider Malkuth-melekh!
***SIGN*** Arch-aider Malkuth-melekh
**[23:51] Narrator**
When it's placed, if the opponent's Vanguard
is grade 2, the opponent takes 1 damage,
**[23:55] Narrator**
but if their Vanguard is grade 3 or higher,
the player can heal 1 damage point!
**[23:58] Narrator**
With the ability to call three
rear-guard units from the Drop Zone,
**[24:01] Narrator**
this unit has a powerful skill that
goes beyond the limits of Angel Feather!
**[24:05] Narrator**
However, as the price to pay
for bringing back allies,
**[24:07] Narrator**
Malkuth-melekh delivers damage to itself!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Rive**
Next episode, we go even further
back in time! To the Edo period!
**[24:19] Rive**
Card-seller Rivero Shindou encounters
some suspicious Western playing cards.
**[24:23] Rive**
Then he hears a voice:
**[24:26] Mark**
"You play with these cards! Warship me!"
**[24:29] Rive**
All right, got it! Play against me,
younger sister Omiku!
**[24:31] Mikuru**
I told you I can't play Vanguard, Dumbro!
**[24:35] Rive**
Omiku, how is it that you
know of these Western cards?
**[24:38] Mikuru**
Huh? I'm not sure.
**[24:40] Mark**
This is what they call a "time paradox"!
***SIGN*** Remind 27

**[24:42] Mikuru**
Sure it's not a background research slip-up?

**[00:04] Kanzaki**
What?! Shinemon Nitta isn't here?!
**[00:08] Nanami**
Something must've happened,
**[00:09] Nanami**
for him to be late
for the beginning of a match...
**[00:14] Kanzaki**
Weakness is a sin!
**[00:17] Kanzaki**
Even if it means we win by forfeit...
**[00:22] MC**
The finals will start in just a moment!
**[00:26] Tonari**
Nanami, you're up first, yo.
**[00:27] Nanami**
Yes, I know!
**[00:51] Shin**
Are we going to fight here?
**[00:53] Tatsuya**
That night...
**[00:56] Tatsuya**
Papa and Mama died, leaving me behind.
**[01:00] Tatsuya**
But soon, even that will be over!
**[01:06] Tatsuya**
I can imagine it!
**[01:09] Tatsuya**
Papa and Mama will come back to me!
**[01:32] Ryuzu**
If the unit summoning experiment succeeds,
the world will know that the planet Cray exists!
**[01:40] Ryuzu**
So let's make our imaginations reality!
**[01:43] Shin**
Wait, Master! Tatsuya!
***SIGN*** Remind 27 Manifest the Units!!
**[03:24] Ryuzu**
Tatsuya, for all this time, you've been
the one financing my lab? Through Mishima?
**[03:33] Tatsuya**
That's right.
**[03:36] Ryuzu**
Where did you get the money?
**[03:37] Butler**
Based on what I uncovered, he appears to
have received an inheritance from his parents.
**[03:42] Ryuzu**
An inheritance?
**[03:44] Esuka**
Is that true?
**[03:46] Mishima**
Tatsuya's parents wished for him
to use the money however he saw fit.
**[03:55] Rive**
I never knew he was a privileged rich kid.
**[03:58] Rive**
You and me, two grown adults,
had the wool pulled over our eyes.
**[04:04] Tatsuya**
So then, please begin, Ms. Mishima.
**[04:07] Mishima**
At once.
**[04:12] Chrono**
D-Don't!
**[04:15] Rive**
What are you doing?!
**[04:15] Chrono**
No!
**[04:16] Chrono**
Pop!
**[04:23] Shin**
You took Chrono hostage?!
**[04:27] Tatsuya**
Let's begin.
**[04:29] Tatsuya**
If you would.
**[04:31] Mishima**
Begin the final experiment.
**[04:34] Operator A**
Starting the final experiment!
**[04:35] Operator B**
Activating the portal for the final experiment!
**[04:43] Esuka**
Wh-What?!
**[04:53] Shin**
What is this?
**[04:55] Ryuzu**
It's the portal we created
for tonight's final experiment.
**[05:01] Tatsuya**
Well then...
**[05:04] Shin**
Chrono!
**[05:05] Shin**
I'll free you in no time!
**[05:07] Chrono**
O-Okay...
**[05:18] Oyama**
What's going on?
**[05:20] MC**
Here in the first match, Nanami Gonomi
of Team SSS has not yet made her first move.
**[05:26] MC**
Does she lack any cards she can ride?
**[05:30] Misaki**
I suspect she's waiting for Shin...
**[05:34] Mikuru**
For Shifty Cinnamon?
**[05:38] MC**
Uh oh, looks like she's been penalized!
**[05:43] Mark**
Nanami!
**[05:45] Mark**
While I appreciate how you feel,
Shinemon will definitely arrive!
**[05:48] Mark**
Verily, I can promise you that!
**[05:53] Nanami**
I ride Arboros Dragon, Branch!
**[06:00] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[06:04] Tatsuya**
I ride Aid-roid, Lamedo!
**[06:09] Shin**
Now it's my turn!
**[06:14] Shin**
Drive check!
**[06:17] Esuka**
A critical trigger!
**[06:19] Shin**
I give the power to Parthenos
and the extra critical to my Vanguard!
**[06:29] Shin**
I'm counting on you, Parthenos!
**[06:32] Parthenos**
No problem!
**[06:34] Tatsuya**
I guard! Hot Shot Celestial, Samyaza
and Thousand Ray Pegasus!
**[06:49] Esuka**
That makes it 3 to 1.
**[06:51] Esuka**
Shinemon has the edge.
**[06:54] Tatsuya**
Don't be afraid.
**[06:57] Tatsuya**
What's important is not getting
dominated by your opponent's imagination.
**[07:02] Shin&Tatsuya**
Be assertive and rewrite that imagination!
**[07:09] Shin**
I'm surprised you remember what I said then.
**[07:12] Tatsuya**
Naturally I remember my master's words.
**[07:15] Tatsuya**
I'm your disciple, Shinemon.
**[07:18] Tatsuya**
You're my vanguard.
**[07:21] Tatsuya**
That's right. You're the one
who made me who I am, Shinemon.
**[07:29] Tatsuya**
But today is when I will surpass you!
**[07:32] Tatsuya**
I'm going to accomplish something
that not even you could have imagined!
**[07:36] Shin**
Is that bringing your parents
back to life with Malkuth-melekh?
**[07:40] Tatsuya**
That's also thanks to you.
**[07:44] Tatsuya**
Perhaps... Cray might actually exist!
**[07:51] Shin&Tatsuya**
When you fight, there are moments
when the Cray units feel so close to you.
**[07:57] Shin&Tatsuya**
I'll get to meet them someday!
**[08:00] Shin&Tatsuya**
That's the feeling I have!
**[08:03] Ryuzu**
But Tatsuya, how can you be so sure
**[08:06] Ryuzu**
that summoning Malkuth-melekh
will bring your parents back to life?
**[08:12] Tatsuya**
Isn't it obvious?
**[08:14] Tatsuya**
Be revived, Zayin!
**[08:16] Tatsuya**
Million Ray Pegasus!
**[08:17] Tatsuya**
Be revived, Thousand Ray Pegasus!
**[08:22] Tatsuya**
Malkuth-melekh can bring units back
from that graveyard known as the Drop Zone.
**[08:30] Tatsuya**
What else could that be besides
the ability to resurrect the dead?
**[08:35] Tatsuya**
Yes. The tender love that
will soothe all lives...
**[08:41] Tatsuya**
...no matter how wounded or defeated they are!
**[08:47] Tatsuya**
Come to me!
**[08:48] Tatsuya**
Arch-aider Malkuth-melekh!
**[08:57] Nanami**
Arboros Dragon, Sephirot attacks your Vanguard!
**[09:02] Mark**
No guard!
**[09:07] MC**
Ninja Master now has 5 damage!
**[09:10] Oyama**
She's got him on the ropes!
**[09:30] Tatsuya**
Imaginary Gift, Protect II!
**[09:38] Shin**
He couldn't summon it?
**[09:41] Tatsuya**
Here I go.
**[09:49] Tatsuya**
Malkuth-melekh's skill activates!
**[09:51] Tatsuya**
Be revived!
**[09:56] Tatsuya**
Amputation Angel! Aid-roid, Zayin!
Thousand Ray Pegasus!
**[10:02] Esuka**
Three units from the Drop Zone...
**[10:05] Ryuzu**
But there's a price to pay.
**[10:07] Ryuzu**
Tatsuya himself must take damage.
**[10:19] Tatsuya**
Here I come.
**[10:25] Tatsuya**
Twin drive.
**[10:29] Tatsuya**
Critical trigger!
**[10:30] Tatsuya**
I give the power to Amputation Angel
and the extra critical to my Vanguard!
**[10:47] Tatsuya**
Zayin attacks your Vanguard with
a boost from Thousand Ray Pegasus!
**[10:51] Tatsuya**
Zayin's skill activates!
**[10:53] Esuka**
When Zayin attacks, the player can
choose one of the opponent's rear-guards
**[10:57] Esuka**
and send it to the Damage Zone.
**[11:03] Tatsuya**
I send Phinomenus of the Constellations
to your Damage Zone!
**[11:12] Rive**
While Shinemon gets to heal the damage...
**[11:14] Esuka**
His intercept is sealed.
**[11:18] Shin**
No guard!
**[11:25] Butler**
He has 5 damage...
**[11:28] Tatsuya**
I used Zayin's skill, so I retire it.
**[11:37] Chrono**
Beat him, Shinemon!
**[11:45] Shin**
You can count on me, Chrono!
**[11:47] Shin**
That roar...
**[11:48] Shin**
The call of the stars...
**[11:49] Shin**
Shaking the furthest reaches of the Milky Way
and tearing through the firmament,
**[11:53] Shin**
it summons elements from far and wide!
**[11:56] Shin**
Its name is...
**[12:00] Shin**
Quaking Heavenly Dragon, Astraios Dragon!
**[12:05] Shin**
Imaginary Gift, Force I!
**[12:09] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[12:13] Shin**
Astraios's skill activates!
**[12:15] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[12:18] Shin**
I call Atlas!
**[12:19] Shin**
Its skill activates!
**[12:22] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[12:24] Shin**
Come, Phinomenus! Atlases!
**[12:33] Rive**
On top of that,
he called two more Atlas units.
**[12:36] Esuka**
That makes five Imaginary Gifts.
**[12:44] Shin**
Circle Shift!
**[12:46] Shin**
Astral Plane!
**[12:58] Shin**
O great planetary guardian deity!
**[13:00] Shin**
Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
**[13:09] Shin**
Valkerion's skill activates!
**[13:13] Shin**
Triple drive!
**[13:17] Shin**
I'll start!
**[13:18] Shin**
Astral Laser!
**[13:24] Butler**
Now his opponent also has 5 damage.
**[13:26] Shin**
Here I come!
**[13:29] Shin**
Valkerion! Zodiac Blazer!
**[13:37] Shin**
Triple drive!
**[13:39] Tatsuya**
Battle Cupid, Nociel!
**[13:44] Shin**
First check!
**[13:46] Shin**
Second check!
**[13:47] Shin**
Draw trigger!
**[13:49] Shin**
I give the power to Phinomenus!
**[13:53] Shin**
Third check!
**[13:57] Shin**
Critical trigger!
**[13:59] Shin**
I give all of the effects to Phinomenus!
**[14:06] Tatsuya**
Perfect guard.
**[14:07] Esuka**
But Shinemon still has a unit
with which he can attack!
**[14:12] Shin**
Phinomenus will finish you off!
**[14:17] Esuka**
Phinomenus gets +5000 power
for each Imaginary Gift.
**[14:21] Esuka**
Now its power is 55,000!
**[14:23] Rive**
With Diana's 8000 power
added to that, the total is 63,000!
**[14:29] Chrono**
You can win!
**[15:15] Rive**
He used up his whole hand
and an intercept to scrape by.
**[15:24] Shin**
It's your turn.
**[15:26] Chrono**
Shinemon, is it over?
**[15:30] Chrono**
You couldn't win?
**[15:33] Shin**
Oh, he just got lucky there...
**[15:38] Tatsuya**
I think it's about time.
**[15:48] Rive**
Hey! What are you going to do?!
**[15:52] Mishima**
Listen, Chrono, we need you to...
**[15:57] Guard B**
You little brat!
**[16:10] Tatsuya**
That's enough, Ms. Mishima.
**[16:12] Mishima**
O-Okay.
**[16:21] Dran**
Don't cry.
**[16:25] Dran**
I'm on my way.
**[16:32] Chrono**
Who are you?
**[16:34] Shin**
Chrono, what are you saying?!
**[16:37] Chrono**
Who are you?
**[16:38] Dran**
Me?
**[16:42] Dran**
I'm...
**[16:53] Operator A**
Picking up a unit in the portal!
**[16:55] Operator A**
Verifying transfer!
**[16:57] Operator B**
The Imaginary Score is
maintaining a normal value!
**[16:59] Operator C**
What does it mean?!
**[17:01] Operator B**
The space-time fluctuation value
is skyrocketing!
**[17:04] Operator A**
Unit manifestation in 3... 2... 1...
**[17:26] Dran**
Don't worry.
**[17:29] Dran**
I'll protect you.
**[17:46] Tatsuya**
Welcome.
**[17:48] Tatsuya**
I've been waiting for you.
**[17:52] Ryuzu**
Weren't you waiting for Malkuth-melekh?
**[17:56] Tatsuya**
For that to happen, I also needed him...
**[18:00] Tatsuya**
...and Chrono.
**[18:02] Rive**
Why Chrono?
**[18:03] Tatsuya**
The two of them are special.
**[18:05] Ryuzu**
Special...
**[18:08] Ryuzu**
Is this what I had overlooked?
**[18:11] Tatsuya**
Again and again...
**[18:14] Tatsuya**
And again and again, I re-examined
the records of Ryuzu Lab.
**[18:22] Chrono**
Shinemon lost!
**[18:33] Tatsuya**
That's when I realized:
**[18:35] Tatsuya**
You didn't need some Imaginary Score
to summon units from the planet Cray...
**[18:45] Tatsuya**
...but the bond between him and Chrono,
which transcends time and space!
**[18:51] Ryuzu**
A bond that transcends time and space?
**[18:53] Rive**
Why is it bonded to Chrono?
**[18:55] Tatsuya**
That's not important.
**[18:58] Tatsuya**
What is important is that
both of them are here, now.
**[19:02] Operator A**
The space-time fluctuation value has stabilized!
**[19:04] Operator B**
Portal is in normal operation.
**[19:07] Tatsuya**
Right now, a portal is connecting
Earth with the planet Cray!
**[19:12] Ryuzu**
The two of them are singularity points?
**[19:15] Ryuzu**
Is that what you're saying?
**[19:19] Rive**
Singularity points?
**[19:20] Tatsuya**
That's right.
**[19:21] Ryuzu**
I see...
**[19:23] Ryuzu**
For Earth and Cray, the two singularity points
stabilize the space-time fluctuation value,
**[19:28] Ryuzu**
thereby summoning a unit...
**[19:31] Tatsuya**
Director, shouldn't you be pleased?
**[19:34] Tatsuya**
After all, this proves
that your theory was correct.
**[19:44] Tatsuya**
Stand and draw.
**[19:48] Tatsuya**
Tonight we have the perfect conditions
for summoning a unit.
**[19:52] Tatsuya**
Now, let's continue, Shinemon.
**[19:56] Shin**
O-Okay...
**[20:01] Tatsuya**
Yes. You want to come to Earth, don't you?
**[20:07] Tatsuya**
Just a bit longer, Papa and Mama...
**[20:13] Tatsuya**
The time has come to surpass you, my vanguard!
**[20:17] Tatsuya**
I can imagine Papa and Mama smiling!
**[20:22] Tatsuya**
I ride once more!
**[20:23] Tatsuya**
Come to me!
**[20:25] Tatsuya**
Arch-aider, Malkuth-melekh!
**[20:45] Mark**
Ninja Art, Spiriting-Away Jutsu!
**[20:52] Mark**
Verily, the final stroke!
**[20:57] MC**
There it is!
**[21:00] Mikuru**
That's the way, Mark!
**[21:02] Misaki**
When he's wearing that...
**[21:04] Mikuru**
Whoops. I meant Ninja Master.
**[21:08] MC**
Ninja Master, with a come-from-behind victory!
**[21:11] MC**
He's defeated Nanami Gonomi!
**[21:16] Tonori**
My turn now.
**[21:20] Nanami**
He's gotten better.
**[21:22] Tonori**
I could tell, yo.
**[21:28] Mark**
Shinemon, Master Rive, I shall
carry you both to the world championship.
**[21:42] Shin**
I don't believe it...
**[22:05] Tatsuya**
Welcome to Earth...
**[22:10] Tatsuya**
...Malkuth-melekh!
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is
Tatsuya's Aid-roid, Zayin!
***SIGN*** Aid-roid, Zayin
**[23:52] Narrator**
If the opponent takes damage during
that turn, this unit gets +10,000 power.
**[23:56] Narrator**
And when Zayin attacks,
**[23:57] Narrator**
one of the opponent's rear-guards
is sent to the Damage Zone.
**[24:00] Narrator**
While the opponent heals afterwards, the unit
remains in the Damage Zone! A prime skill!
**[24:06] Narrator**
The price is that Zayin gets retired, but you
can use Malkuth-melekh to bring it back!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Ryuzu**
I can't believe Tatsuya means to have
Malkuth-melekh resurrect his parents.
**[24:19] Ryuzu**
How did he think of that?
**[24:20] Mishima**
It was your influence, Director Ryuzu.
**[24:22] Ryuzu**
Mishima? What about my influence?
**[24:24] Mishima**
Tatsuya was inspired by your essay,
the one published in that magazine.
**[24:28] Ryuzu**
The magazine with a pen pal section,
where people seek friends from past lives?
**[24:32] Mishima**
Yes, Tatsuya purchases it every month.
**[24:35] Mishima**
In fact, he has all the back issues,
starting with the magazine's debut.
**[24:37] Ryuzu**
At his age?! It's been around for decades!
That must have cost a fortune!
***SIGN*** Remind 28

**[24:41] Mishima**
If you recall, Tatsuya received
an inheritance from his parents...

**[00:03] Tatsuya**
Welcome to Earth...
**[00:05] Tatsuya**
...Malkuth-melekh!
**[00:11] Esuka**
Is this actually real?!
**[00:16] Esuka**
Now what?!
**[00:18] Ryuzu**
I suspect...
**[00:25] Esuka**
Even rear-guards?!
**[00:27] Ryuzu**
...this is entirely linked
to the fight occurring right now!
**[00:36] Mishima**
Tatsuya?!
**[00:38] Tatsuya**
What a wonderful night!
**[00:42] Tatsuya**
Welcome, Angel Feather units!
***SIGN*** Remind 28 Our Wings
**[02:24] Tatsuya**
Malkuth-melekh, I want you
to bring Papa and Mama back to life!
**[02:33] Tatsuya**
I know. There's a price, right?
**[02:37] Shin**
A price?
**[02:39] Tatsuya**
It's a shame to bring a fun fight like this
to an early end, but I can't wait any longer!
**[02:45] Tatsuya**
Imaginary Gift, Protect II!
**[02:54] Tatsuya**
Furthermore, Malkuth-melekh's skill activates!
**[02:57] Shin**
What?!
**[02:58] Esuka**
If that happens...
**[03:00] Rive**
...Tatsuya will have 6 damage!
**[03:03] Shin**
What are you thinking, Tatsuya?!
**[03:06] Tatsuya**
What are you so flustered about, Shinemon?
**[03:11] Tatsuya**
I superior call Amputation Angel,
Zayin, and Lamedo from the Drop Zone!
**[03:42] Shin**
Is this the price?
**[03:44] Tatsuya**
Damage check.
**[03:48] Shin**
A heal trigger?!
**[03:50] Rive**
What timing!
**[03:52] Esuka**
How lucky can he be?!
**[03:55] Tatsuya**
Know what luck is?
**[03:57] Tatsuya**
It's a gift that only people who don't
give up to the very end can get!
**[04:05] Tatsuya**
I heal 1 damage point.
**[04:09] Tatsuya**
Here I come.
**[04:10] Tatsuya**
Malkuth-melekh attacks with a boost
from Thousand Ray Pegasus!
**[04:21] Esuka**
It wouldn't...!
**[04:30] Mark**
Hanzo attacks your Vanguard!
**[04:34] Tonori**
No guard!
**[04:36] Mark**
Twin drive, first check!
**[04:39] Mark**
Second check!
**[04:41] Mikuru**
A critical trigger!
**[04:46] Tonori**
Damage check!
**[04:53] Tonori**
No trigger...
**[04:57] Tonori**
I lose, yo.
**[04:59] Nanami**
If you're gonna lose, at least hold out longer!
**[05:02] Miya**
Ninja Master has won the second match!
**[05:06] Miya**
Will he be able to pull off three in a row?!
**[05:12] Kanzaki**
Begone, weakling!
**[05:15] Tonori**
Figures he'd say that, yo.
**[05:18] Kanzaki**
This won't turn out
like it did with the other two!
**[05:22] Mark**
I am well aware.
Verily, this is a fateful showdown.
**[05:33] Shin**
Wait, you're...
**[05:36] Shin**
...Goddess of Self-sacrifice, Kushinada!
**[05:42] Shin**
Because I summoned that unit?!
**[05:44] Tatsuya**
That's not all.
**[05:49] Shin**
My other units, too?!
**[05:55] Tatsuya**
Twin drive.
**[05:57] Tatsuya**
First check.
**[05:59] Tatsuya**
Second check.
**[06:01] Esuka**
Another heal trigger!
**[06:05] Tatsuya**
I give the power to Amputation Angel.
**[06:09] Tatsuya**
Zayin attacks your Vanguard
with a boost from Thousand Ray Pegasus!
**[06:15] Tatsuya**
Zayin's skill activates!
**[06:18] Tatsuya**
I put Phinomenus in the Damage Zone.
**[06:26] Shin**
It disappeared!
**[06:27] Tatsuya**
Shinemon?
**[06:29] Shin**
Right.
**[06:36] Shin**
I guard!
**[06:37] Shin**
Again...!
**[06:41] Tatsuya**
I retire Zayin.
**[06:45] Tatsuya**
Amputation Angel attacks
with a boost from Lamedo!
**[06:51] Shin**
I guard here, too!
**[06:56] Shin**
Thank you.
**[06:59] Rive**
He managed to hang on at 5 damage.
**[07:03] Tatsuya**
It's your turn, Shinemon.
**[07:06] Shin**
I know.
**[07:07] Shin**
Stand and draw!
**[07:14] Shin**
When you fight, there are moments
when the Cray units feel so close to you.
**[07:19] Shin**
I'll get to meet them someday!
**[07:22] Shin**
That's the feeling I have!
**[07:25] Shin**
I never thought that day would actually come.
**[07:28] Shin**
But...
**[07:32] Tatsuya**
Shinemon?
**[07:35] Shin**
I ride Origin Deity of Heavenly Light, Uranus!
**[07:39] Uranus**
A ray of light pierces the darkness!
**[07:42] Uranus**
No matter how faint it may be,
I am the one who will recite and extol it!
**[07:48] Uranus**
Behold!
**[07:49] Uranus**
Origin Deity of Heavenly Light, Uranus!
**[07:53] Shin**
Uranus...
**[07:57] Rive**
Hey, Lemon!
**[07:58] Rive**
You're in the middle of a fight.
Don't think about anything else.
**[08:02] Shin**
I know, Master!
**[08:04] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[08:07] Shin**
Then I call Dikei of the Just Path!
**[08:13] Shin**
Its skill activates!
**[08:15] Shin**
I look at the top seven cards in my deck,
and add two Astral Poets to my hand!
**[08:19] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[08:25] Shin**
I call Gleaming Lord, Uranus
and Astraios Dragon!
**[08:30] Shin**
Origin Deity of Heavenly Light, Uranus's
skill activates!
**[08:34] Shin**
Dare I call him, too?!
**[08:44] Shin**
Circle Shift!
**[08:46] Shin**
Astral Plane!
**[09:09] Chrono**
It's Valkerion!
**[09:12] Shin**
This is...
**[09:14] Uranus**
O great planetary guardian deity!
**[09:16] Uranus**
Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
**[09:34] Shin**
Valkerion's skill activates!
**[09:38] Shin**
Triple drive!
**[09:46] Uranus**
Valkerion!
**[09:48] Uranus**
Zodiac Blazer!
**[09:51] Tatsuya**
No guard!
**[09:52] Tatsuya**
Drive check?
**[09:54] Shin**
Right! Triple drive!
**[10:02] Shin**
Hold your fire!
**[10:49] Ryuzu**
Wonderful...
**[10:52] Ryuzu**
If this power can be effectively utilized,
the human race's potential will be limitless!
**[10:58] Ryuzu**
Right, Rive?!
**[11:00] Rive**
That's *if* it can be effectively utilized.
**[11:03] Ryuzu**
I'm sure it can! I'll prove it to you,
even if I have to gamble with my life!
**[11:08] Shin**
He calls this wonderful...
**[11:12] Shin**
The Cray units mustn't
be called to Earth like this.
**[11:17] Tatsuya**
Damage check.
**[11:20] Tatsuya**
Draw trigger.
**[11:25] Rive**
Don't tell me he drew a perfect guard?!
**[11:35] Tatsuya**
Papa, Mama... It's almost time...
**[11:40] Shin**
Tatsuya...
**[11:42] Shin**
What's the "price" you mentioned before?
**[11:46] Tatsuya**
Surely you know by now, don't you?
**[11:51] Tatsuya**
That's right. *I'll* have to take the injury.
**[11:56] Tatsuya**
I may even lose my own life!
**[12:01] Tatsuya**
Right, Malkuth-melekh?
**[12:09] Shin**
Are you saying you don't care if you die?!
**[12:12] Tatsuya**
If Papa and Mama can be brought back,
then I don't need to live!
**[12:20] Rive**
If I could give my own life...
**[12:24] Esuka**
You too?!
**[12:25] Esuka**
You're not contemplating that, are you?!
**[12:29] Tatsuya**
I can imagine it.
**[12:35] Tatsuya**
Papa and Mama are smiling!
**[12:41] Shin**
You're not imagining anything!
**[12:45] Shin**
Would your parents really be able to smile?!
**[12:48] Shin**
Tatsuya, if they were brought
back to life in a world without you,
**[12:52] Shin**
they would feel just as bereft as you do now!
**[13:00] Tatsuya**
So what?! If Papa and Mama are
brought back, at least this grief will vanish!
**[13:07] Shin**
All you're doing is trying
to escape your own grief!
**[13:11] Shin**
That's wrong!
**[13:13] Shin**
You need to rewrite the image of your grief!
**[13:20] Tatsuya**
Fascinating...
**[13:24] Tatsuya**
But I've already won this fight!
**[13:28] Rive**
Certainly, Shinemon has
three units that can still attack,
**[13:34] Rive**
but with that Protect II, Tatsuya's front row units
get +10,000 shield when they intercept.
**[13:41] Rive**
If he has a perfect guard in hand, none
of Shinemon's three attacks will get through.
**[13:47] Tatsuya**
It's come! The time for me
to surpass you, my vanguard!
**[13:53] Esuka**
I'm not sure about that.
**[13:55] Esuka**
Shinemon, you should show him your new power!
**[14:02] Shin**
Right!
**[14:04] Tatsuya**
New power...?
**[14:06] Shin**
I rest two Astral Poets!
**[14:11] Rive**
What does he mean to do?
**[14:13] Shin**
Origin Deity of Heavenly Light, Uranus's
skill activates!
**[14:24] Shin&Uranus**
Stand up, Valkerion!
**[14:30] Tatsuya**
I-It can't be!
**[14:36] Tatsuya**
I don't believe it...
**[14:40] Shin**
Tatsuya...
**[14:42] Shin**
You told me about your wings.
**[14:46] Tatsuya**
Angel Feather is my wings!
**[14:54] Shin**
If you have wings, you should be able to fly!
**[14:57] Tatsuya**
Where?
**[14:58] Shin**
To the future!
**[15:01] Tatsuya**
The future...?
**[15:04] Shin**
Me...
**[15:08] Shin**
Misaki...
**[15:10] Shin**
Even Master! We all have sad pasts, too.
**[15:13] Shin**
But still, we don't think about trading
our own lives to bring back our loved ones!
**[15:23] Shin**
You should also stop thinking about dying!
**[15:26] Shin**
Or I mean--please, don't die!
**[15:29] Tatsuya**
But why not? Once I'm dead--
**[15:32] Shin**
You expect me not to be sad
when my friend is dead?!
**[15:43] Tatsuya**
I'm... your friend...?
**[15:48] Shin**
Tatsuya, imagine the future! And go there!
**[15:52] Shin**
That's what you, and I, have wings for!
**[15:56] Shin**
Look, you have them there!
**[16:00] Tatsuya**
Vanguard...
**[16:02] Shin**
That's right! Vanguard is our wings!
**[16:09] Shin&Uranus**
Valkerion!
**[16:13] Shin&Uranus**
Zodiac Blazer!
**[16:23] Tatsuya**
Malkuth-melekh!
**[16:26] Tatsuya**
It's not over!
**[16:27] Tatsuya**
I still have a damage check!
**[16:33] Mishima**
6 damage...
**[16:43] Esuka**
A perfect guard...
**[16:45] Esuka**
Why didn't he use it?
**[16:47] Rive**
So he could stop Origin Deity
of Heavenly Light, Uranus's attack...
**[16:53] Rive**
No... Tatsuya may have wanted to be stopped.
**[17:09] Rive**
The portal!
**[17:10] Ryuzu**
It's the strain of the experiment!
**[17:13] Ryuzu**
Have all lab employees
evacuate immediately!
**[17:15] Mishima**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[17:17] Mishima**
All lab employees,
emergency evacuation! I repeat...
**[17:22] Rive**
Why are the Genesis units still here?
**[17:26] Ryuzu**
Probably... because there are
two Singularities here on Earth.
**[17:31] Shin**
How can we send Uranus
and the rest back to Cray?!
**[17:35] Dran**
It's okay!
**[17:45] Dran**
I haven't introduced myself yet, huh?
**[17:47] Dran**
I'm Chrono Dran.
**[17:49] Chrono**
Chrono?
**[17:50] Chrono**
I'm Chrono, too!
**[17:53] Chrono**
Chrono and Chrono!
**[17:55] Dran**
Oh, really?!
**[17:57] Dran**
Nice to meet you, Chrono!
**[17:59] Chrono**
Nice to meet you, Chrono!
**[18:05] Chrono**
Are you leaving already?
**[18:07] Dran**
Yeah.
**[18:08] Ryuzu**
I see. If he returns to Cray,
the other units will follow.
**[18:13] Dran**
Chrono, I'll see you again!
**[18:18] Rive**
Chrono!
**[18:25] Esuka**
What's happening?!
**[18:27] Ryuzu**
It might be a gravitational pull
between the Singularities!
**[18:31] Rive**
Chrono...
**[18:35] Shin**
Master!
**[18:37] Esuka**
How would your presence help?!
**[18:39] Shin**
But...
**[18:43] Esuka**
What's that helicopter?!
**[18:44] Butler**
I suspected this might happen...
**[19:10] Rive**
Here goes nothing!
**[19:15] Shin**
Master!
**[19:36] Rive**
Chrono!
**[19:40] Rive**
Never mind me!
**[19:42] Rive**
Get Chrono!
**[19:48] Dran**
Let's meet again someday!
**[19:52] Dran**
Please...
**[20:13] Shin**
Master... Chrono...
**[20:30] Shin**
Isn't that...?
**[20:37] Shin**
Chrono!
**[20:38] Ryuzu**
Where's Rive?!
**[21:19] Uranus**
My vanguard, I too shall fly to the future!
**[21:41] Kanzaki**
I stand Claret Sword Dragon!
**[21:44] MC**
This is Kanzaki's sure-fire victory pattern!
**[21:47] Kanzaki**
The final stroke!
**[21:50] Mark**
No guard.
**[21:52] MC**
It's Ninja Master's fateful damage check!
**[21:58] Mikuru**
Mark!
**[22:01] MC**
Unfortunately, no trigger!
**[22:05] MC**
Yuichirou Kanzaki wins the third match!
**[22:08] MC**
And so... Wh-What's this?!
**[22:13] MC**
Kanzaki isn't crying!
**[22:17] Oyama**
It's true!
**[22:19] Kanzaki**
Weakness is a sin!
**[22:21] Kanzaki**
If you wish to redeem yourself,
we can hold a rematch anytime!
**[22:24] Tonori**
Kanzaki's offerin' him a rematch "anytime"?!
**[22:27] MC**
With this, Team SSS
has one win and two losses...
**[22:31] Nanami**
Where's Shinemon?!
**[22:33] MC**
...but other than Ninja Master, there are
no Team Nippon members in the building!
**[22:42] Mark**
Shinemon, verily, I am sorry.
**[22:49] Oyama**
Hey, that's...
**[22:58] Misaki**
Shin!
**[22:59] Mikuru**
It's about time, Late-Arriving Cinnamon!
**[23:02] MC**
It's Shinemon Nitta from Team Nippon!
**[23:05] MC**
Making a grand entrance!
**[23:11] Mark**
Shinemon!
**[23:12] Mikuru**
My brother isn't with him?
**[23:16] Mark**
Verily, I had faith you would make it...
**[23:22] Kanzaki**
I have been waiting for you, Shinemon Nitta!
**[23:26] MC**
The final match of the Asia Circuit,
Nitta versus Kanzaki, is about to begin!
**[23:34] Kanzaki**
H-Hey...
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Shinemon's
Origin Deity of Heavenly Light, Uranus!
***SIGN*** Origin Deity of Heavenly Light, Uranus
**[23:53] Narrator**
With three or more Force markers
in the Vanguard Circle,
**[23:56] Narrator**
if you do a Soul Blast with
a sum of grades 5 or higher,
**[23:59] Narrator**
you can deploy the Astral Plane!
**[24:01] Narrator**
And that's not all! If you rest two rear-guard
Astral Poets, you can restand Valkerion!
**[24:07] Narrator**
Dish out more damage with
yet another Valkerion attack!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Malkuth**
Hello, I'm Malkuth!
**[24:17] Melekh**
And I'm Melekh!
**[24:18] Malkuth**
The right hand is a scalpel.
**[24:19] Melekh**
The left hand is a syringe.
**[24:20] The Two**
Together, we are Malkuth-Melekh!
**[24:23] Malkuth**
Y'know, the world today has lots of people
who make unreasonable demands!
**[24:27] Melekh**
Unreasonable how?
**[24:28] Melekh**
Like demanding to bring
their dead parents back to life?
**[24:30] Malkuth**
Well, that can be arranged.
**[24:31] Melekh**
It can?!
**[24:32] Malkuth**
Listen to this! Someone caught a cold,
so they came to me for a shot!
**[24:36] Melekh**
Well, you've got a fine syringe there,
so why not oblige them?
**[24:39] Malkuth**
The thing is, the green liquid inside
is just melon soda. Does that cure colds?!

Yes, I know!
**[01:34] Shin**
President Esuka? Long time no talk.
**[01:37] Shin**
Are you in Japan now?
**[01:40] Esuka**
I'll be returning abroad soon,
but there's something I wanted to tell you.
***SIGN*** Remind 29 Once Again, To Capital
**[03:25] Chrono**
This story is set in the near future.
**[03:29] Chrono**
Hundreds of millions of people
all over the world play card games,
**[03:32] Chrono**
and the pastime has become
part of everyday life.
**[03:36] Chrono**
But that had nothing to do with me.
**[03:39] Chrono**
Until now!
**[03:41] Chrono**
But I don't know anything about Vanguard!
**[03:45] Kamui**
That doesn't matter! Just come with me!
**[03:54] Chrono**
That dream...
**[03:56] Chrono**
No, not a dream.
**[04:00] Chrono**
It's my oldest memory,
but I don't understand it at all.
**[04:04] Chrono**
I'd forgotten it all this time...
**[04:07] Kamui**
H-Huh?
**[04:09] Kamui**
What's wrong? Did that hurt?
**[04:11] Chrono**
No, I'm fine.
**[04:12] Kamui**
I see! Well, it's right over here.
**[04:16] Kamui**
Card Capital!
**[04:18] Chrono**
Don't just breeze past that. What's with you?
**[04:24] Kamui**
Shin! We've got a customer!
***SIGN*** This Shop is Home to the Vanguard Koshien Winner!
**[04:31] Kamui**
Shin's not here?
**[04:33] Mark**
I suddenly got called in. I'm the pink hitter.
**[04:36] Kamui**
It's "pinch hitter,"
and isn't that already English?!
**[04:40] Kamui**
I guess it's okay even without Shin around.
**[04:53] Mark**
Hi. I haven't seen your face before.
**[04:56] Chrono**
Yeah, I was just wanting to sell this.
**[05:01] Chrono**
I was out looking for a shop where
I could sell it, and bumped into him.
**[05:04] Kamui**
It's a shame to quit Vanguard,
so I thought I'd persuade him not to.
**[05:09] Mark**
Well, anyway, I'll take a look at your cards.
**[05:14] Mark**
Gear Chronicle...
**[05:17] Mark**
Chronojet Dragon.
**[05:20] Mark**
This shouldn't exist...
**[05:23] Kamui**
Whoa, that's Gear Chronicle!
**[05:25] Kamui**
It really exists!
**[05:27] Chrono**
What does that mean?
**[05:28] Kamui**
Lately there've been rumors
about a legendary clan.
**[05:32] Kamui**
Some fighters search the world for it,
while others say it's just a fantasy.
**[05:37] Chrono**
Just a fantasy? Then this deck is fake?
**[05:41] Mark**
No, it's not fake.
**[05:43] Mark**
There's a record of it being used
at the Asia Circuit ten years ago.
**[05:48] Kamui**
You know a lot about it, Mark.
**[05:50] Kamui**
Are ya seriously gonna sell it?
**[05:52] Kamui**
That'd be such a waste.
**[05:54] Chrono**
But I'm not interested in the game.
**[05:56] Kamui**
If you're not interested, why do ya have it?
**[05:59] Chrono**
Um...
**[06:04] Chrono**
What's this?
***SIGN*** For Shindou
**[06:12] Chrono**
This is that Vanguard thing, right?
**[06:16] Chrono**
Who put it there?
**[06:19] Chrono**
Well, whatever.
***SIGN*** Burnable Trash
**[06:22] Student**
Hold up, Shindou.
**[06:25] Student**
You live with your aunt, don't you?
**[06:28] Student**
I bet you don't have time to play Vanguard.
**[06:32] Student**
So I'll take this off your hands.
**[06:34] Student**
Especially since it looks pretty rare...
**[06:44] Dran**
Chrono... Chrono!
**[06:48] Student**
The heck?! You were gonna throw it away!
**[06:51] Chrono**
What am I doing?
There's no way cards can talk.
**[06:56] Student**
If you don't want that, give it to me!
**[07:00] Student**
Drat. I probably could've
gotten lots of money for that.
**[07:03] Student**
Wh-What?!
**[07:06] Chrono**
Can I sell these?
**[07:15] Kamui**
You're in middle school, right?
**[07:17] Kamui**
What do ya need the money for?
**[07:19] Chrono**
Once I finish middle school,
I wanna live on my own.
**[07:23] Chrono**
This could really add to the pot.
**[07:25] Mark**
Live on your own? Then Mikuru--
**[07:29] Mark**
It's nothing.
**[07:31] Mark**
So, have you ever played Cardfight before?
**[07:34] Chrono**
No.
**[07:36] Kamui**
What a waste. Cards like that and all...
**[07:39] Chrono**
Whatever, just buy this off me!
**[07:41] Kamui**
Forget it! We're not buying that deck
unless ya do a Cardfight against me first.
**[07:46] Chrono**
Who are you, anyway?
**[07:49] Kamui**
Why, I'm this shop's...
**[07:51] Kamui**
...part-timer!
**[08:05] Kamui**
I'd feel bad for these cards if ya never
learn their worth, other than monetary value.
**[08:13] Chrono**
But I don't know anything about Cardfight.
**[08:17] Kamui**
Those are your cards.
**[08:19] Kamui**
So they wanna fight for ya.
**[08:24] Chrono**
Well, I guess there's no harm
in learning what these cards are.
**[08:28] Kamui**
The rules are simple.
**[08:30] Kamui**
First of all, Vanguard is...
**[08:30] Mark**
There's no mistaking it.
**[08:33] Mark**
Shinemon, please get back soon.
**[08:38] Kamui**
All right, let's get started.
**[08:40] Kamui**
Now, imagine it.
**[08:43] Kamui**
We're astral bodies that have
just landed on the planet Cray.
**[08:47] Chrono**
The planet Cray...?
**[09:19] Kamui**
All right, let's go.
**[09:21] Kamui**
Show me your First Vanguard.
**[09:23] Kamui**
Stand up...
**[09:25] Chrono**
Stand up...
**[09:26] The Two**
...Vanguard!
**[09:28] Kamui**
I ride! Battleraizer!
**[09:33] Chrono**
This is... "riding"?
**[09:37] Chrono**
Then this unit I'm riding must be...
**[09:42] Chrono**
...the Vanguard.
**[09:44] Chrono**
Chrono Dran...
**[09:46] Chrono**
It's my first time playing,
but I recognize him somehow!
**[09:53] Kamui**
Chrono Dran?
**[09:55] Kamui**
That's a Gear Chronicle unit, huh?
**[09:59] Kamui**
Why're ya blushing?
**[10:02] Chrono**
Why does it have the same name as me?
**[10:08] Shin**
Enough already!
**[10:09] Esuka**
Such an embarrassment!
**[10:11] Esuka**
A man over 30, walking around town
with graffiti on his face!
**[10:16] Shin**
My phone?
**[10:18] Shin**
Mark's calling?
**[10:20] Esuka**
I'm sure it's about some plan to hang out.
**[10:23] Esuka**
I swear, you're both over 30,
yet you still act like teenagers.
**[10:29] Shin**
By the way, what's your relationship with him?
**[10:33] Esuka**
Don't jump to conclusions!
He's my younger brother.
**[10:36] Esuka**
He's gotten interested in Vanguard recently,
**[10:38] Esuka**
so I'm having him assist me at the
Esuka Headquarters in Singapore, that's all.
**[10:42] Shin**
What conclusion would I jump to?
**[10:44] Esuka**
The way you talk gets on my nerves!
**[10:46] Esuka**
Who do you think you are?!
**[10:48] Shin**
Shin Nitta.
**[10:50] Shin**
My personality hasn't changed in years.
You should be used to it by now.
**[10:57] Esuka**
Anyway, the Esuka Group has had
major success with overseas expansion.
**[11:03] Shin**
I heard both Nanami and Tonori are
idolized as star fighters by fans overseas.
**[11:11] Esuka**
There have been rumors
among those overseas fans
**[11:15] Esuka**
about the existence of a clan
called Gear Chronicle.
***SIGN*** Weakness is a sin Fight with a smile
***SIGN*** Vanguard Committee Strong fighters wanted! Weakness is a sin! Fight with a smile! Even you can play Vanguard!
**[11:21] Oyama**
So that's why you're here?
**[11:24] Oyama**
Welcome to the newly-launched
Vanguard Committee!
**[11:30] Oyama**
My, it's been quite a while!
**[11:33] Esuka**
Pardon the interruption, but... who are you?
**[11:37] Oyama**
It's me! Ryutarou Oyama,
the fighter of endless summer.
**[11:42] Shin**
Oh. Of course it would be you, Mr. Oyama.
**[11:46] Kanzaki**
And just who are you?
**[11:50] Oyama**
You wanna join the committee?
Which clan do you use?
**[11:54] Shin**
Um... I'm Shin Nitta...
**[11:58] Oyama**
Nitta? Shinemon?!
**[12:01] Kanzaki**
Ridiculous! This creepy man in an apron
is the same man who once beat me?!
**[12:08] Esuka**
I agree that he's creepy, but he is what he is.
**[12:12] Shin**
Huh? Isn't Ruga Kaizu with you?
**[12:15] Oyama**
It seems the disappearance of
Rive Shindou was a real shock for him.
**[12:21] Oyama**
He said he didn't want any more
to do with the Vanguard world.
**[12:26] Oyama**
We're trying to build an organization
that trains Vanguard fighters from kids on up.
**[12:34] Oyama**
An ideal fight is...
**[12:36] Kanzaki**
...when might makes right.
**[12:36] Oyama**
...when everyone smiles.
**[12:39] Oyama**
You're still on that?!
**[12:41] Kanzaki**
The purpose of the committee
is to produce strong Vanguard fighters.
**[12:46] Esuka**
All right, all right.
So where's your committee chair?
**[12:50] Ryuzu**
Here I am.
**[12:52] Shin**
Ryuzu Myoujin?!
**[12:54] Ryutarou**
And who are you?
**[12:56] Shin**
Again...?
**[12:58] Esuka**
Just give up.
**[13:01] Ryuzu**
It seems Gear Chronicle has
become a worldwide urban legend.
**[13:07] Esuka**
Don't play dumb. Wasn't this place
ground zero of that legend?
**[13:11] Esuka**
You used to have contact with
Gear Chronicle's Chronotiger Rebellion,
**[13:16] Esuka**
and conducted unit summoning experiments.
**[13:19] Ryuzu**
If we can interact with the planet Cray,
Earth will have a wonderful future.
**[13:25] Ryuzu**
While my end goal hasn't changed,
I now insist on safe and peaceful means.
**[13:30] Kanzaki**
Children like strong units.
**[13:33] Kanzaki**
That's probably why the rumors of
Gear Chronicle took on a life of their own.
**[13:37] Ryuzu**
Besides, the real issue was never the cards.
It was the Singularities.
**[13:44] Esuka**
The Singularities... How is
Chrono Shindou doing these days?
**[13:49] Shin**
He's in middle school already,
and seemingly uninterested in Vanguard.
**[13:54] Esuka**
He mustn't ever come into contact
with Gear Chronicle.
**[13:57] Shin**
Don't worry.
**[13:59] Shin**
Tatsuya and Mishima are continuing
their research at a university in the US.
**[14:04] Shin**
I'm sure what happened
ten years ago will never happen again.
**[14:08] Esuka**
Can you really be certain...?
**[14:13] Esuka**
Oh, well.
**[14:15] Esuka**
It's been a long time, so how about
if I treat you to a delicious dinner--
**[14:18] Shin**
Sorry, I have to get back to work! Take care!
**[14:22] Esuka**
You don't have to go so far as to
emulate your master's abrupt exits!
**[14:29] Chrono**
I'll, uh... "ride" this dragon.
**[14:33] Kamui**
What the hey?
**[14:35] Kamui**
You've gotta state the card's name clearly!
**[14:39] Chrono**
Why do all of these cards share my name?
**[14:42] Chrono**
I ride this Chronojet Dragon!
**[14:48] Kamui**
Whoa! What is that unit?!
**[14:53] Shin**
Is it true that Chrono's here, Mark?
**[15:06] Shin**
Chrono Shindou...
**[15:09] Shin**
Chrono is playing Vanguard.
**[15:12] Shin**
But where did he get Gear Chronicle?
**[15:15] Mark**
He said he found the deck in his shoe locker.
**[15:17] Shin**
I never could make sense of
your messed-up Japanese, Mark.
**[15:22] Mark**
Nooo!
**[15:24] Chrono**
6 damage.
**[15:28] Kamui**
It was tight, but I still managed to win.
**[15:32] Chrono**
So this is Vanguard...
**[15:34] Kamui**
Well?
**[15:36] Kamui**
It got pretty fun there, huh?
**[15:38] Chrono**
Yeah...
**[15:40] Chrono**
It annoyed me when things didn't go
my way, but that's how reality works, too.
**[15:47] Chrono**
I guess it's kind of fun.
**[15:49] Kamui**
You show promise.
**[15:50] Kamui**
All right, from now on,
you're my number-one disciple!
**[15:54] Chrono**
Did I say I wanted to be your disciple?
**[15:57] Kamui**
I'm Kamui Katsuragi.
**[15:59] Kamui**
What's your name?
**[16:01] Chrono**
I'm--
**[16:02] Shin**
Chrono Shindou.
**[16:06] Kamui**
Shin!
**[16:08] Kamui**
Chrono?
**[16:09] Chrono**
How do you know my name?
**[16:13] Shin**
So he did lose his memories...
**[16:17] Chrono**
Why do you know about me?!
**[16:19] Shin**
That deck holds an important meaning for you.
**[16:24] Shin**
If you can solve its riddle,
you'll be able to discover who you are.
**[16:30] Shin**
Probably.
**[16:33] Chrono**
I don't like you.
**[16:35] Chrono**
An adult wearing a smug look
who talks like he knows everything.
**[16:38] Kamui**
Hey, Shin's the manager here!
**[16:41] Chrono**
The manager?
**[16:43] Chrono**
Is he any good at Vanguard?
**[16:45] Kamui**
You bet he is!
**[16:46] Kamui**
Ten years ago, Shin and Mark's Team Nippon
almost made it to the world championship!
**[16:55] Kamui**
Look!
**[17:00] Chrono**
Isn't that Rive Shindou?
**[17:05] Kamui**
Shindou?
**[17:07] Chrono**
What's a photo of my father doing here?
**[17:11] Mark**
Actually...
**[17:12] Shin**
If you want to know that, how about
having a Vanguard fight with me, too?
**[17:17] Kamui**
Shin?
**[17:19] Shin**
How about it, Chrono?
**[17:21] Misaki**
All of you, back to work!
**[17:24] Kamui**
There she is!
**[17:28] Misaki**
You're...
**[17:29] Shin**
He and I were just about to have a Vanguard--
**[17:33] Shin**
Uh, nothing!
**[17:38] Chrono**
What the heck was that about?
**[17:42] Mikuru**
It's unusual for you to
get home later than me, Chrono.
**[17:45] Mikuru**
Don't tell me you made a new friend?
**[17:49] Mikuru**
Just teasing.
**[17:51] Chrono**
Mikuru, I have a favor to ask.
**[18:02] MC**
The final match of the Asia Circuit,
Nitta versus Kanzaki, is about to begin!
**[18:11] Shin**
Stand up...
**[18:12] Kanzaki**
Stand up...
**[18:14] The Two**
...Vanguard!
**[18:15] Chrono**
Shin Nitta... Shinemon...
**[18:22] Mikuru**
Until now, he's never expressed
any interest in my dumb brother's matches.
**[18:29] MC**
What is going on with Shinemon Nitta?!
**[18:33] MC**
He keeps accumulating damage,
with nothing to show for it!
**[18:37] Mark**
Shinemon!
**[18:38] Mikuru**
Shinemon, what's wrong with you?!
**[18:46] Chrono**
Is that me?
**[18:55] Shin**
No guard!
**[18:57] Kanzaki**
Drive check!
**[19:00] Kanzaki**
Critical trigger!
**[19:02] MC**
And that's 6 damage!
**[19:04] MC**
The winner of the final
Asia Circuit match is Yuichirou Kanzaki!
**[19:10] Kanzaki**
Shinemon Nitta!
**[19:12] Kanzaki**
I've run out of tears for your weakness!
**[19:24] Chrono**
What's the deal? Shin wound up losing!
**[19:37] Shin**
I finally finished
calculating this month's profits...
**[19:43] Shin**
Mikuru...
**[19:47] Shin**
When was the last time I saw you?
**[19:49] Mikuru**
Shinemon...
**[19:51] Mikuru**
Oh, right, you go by Shin now.
**[19:54] Shin**
I heard you launched your own company.
**[19:57] Mikuru**
I've always wanted to work
in the makeup industry.
**[20:01] Mikuru**
But I'm still way in the red.
**[20:03] Mikuru**
And taking care of Chrono...
**[20:04] Shin**
Chrono came by the shop today.
**[20:07] Mikuru**
I knew it...
**[20:09] Shin**
He said someone gave him a deck.
**[20:12] Shin**
He wanted to sell it.
**[20:16] Mikuru**
I don't think he likes me taking care of him.
**[20:20] Mikuru**
It seems he wants to live on his own
after finishing middle school.
**[20:25] Shin**
He's a good kid.
**[20:27] Mikuru**
It's strange. Even though he doesn't
have any memories of Vanguard,
**[20:32] Mikuru**
or of my dumb brother,
he still went to Capital.
**[20:36] Shin**
Yes. He didn't seem to recognize me, either.
**[20:40] Mikuru**
I was relieved that he never
got interested in Vanguard.
**[20:45] Mikuru**
I'd been afraid that he would
end up like my brother one day.
**[20:52] Mikuru**
But Shin, if Chrono wants to play Vanguard...
**[20:57] Shin**
Of course.
**[20:59] Shin**
By the way, I saw Esuka today...
**[21:02] Mikuru**
Esuka?!
**[21:04] Mikuru**
She's still at it?
**[21:07] Mikuru**
I, uh... didn't say anything!
**[21:10] Shin**
Misaki!
**[21:11] Mikuru**
Huh?
**[21:13] Mikuru**
Misaki! Is this guy working hard?
**[21:16] Shin**
Yes, I work hard, Mikuru!
**[21:18] Mikuru**
Sorry, Misaki.
**[21:21] Mikuru**
Well, let me know if
there's anything else with Chrono.
**[21:24] Mikuru**
Good night!
**[21:33] Dran**
Chrono... Chrono!
**[21:41] Shin**
And Misaki used to be so nice...
**[22:10] Shin**
Let's do this!
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Chrono's
Chronojet Dragon!
***SIGN*** Chronojet Dragon
**[23:53] Narrator**
Chronojet Dragon, which has
lots of similarities to Chrono Dran,
**[23:56] Narrator**
is the key card of Chrono's deck!
**[23:58] Narrator**
When it attacks, if you do a Counterblast,
**[24:01] Narrator**
it gets +5000 power, and you can prevent
your opponent from calling a sentinel!
**[24:05] Narrator**
And if you discard units from
your hand with a sum of grade 3,
**[24:08] Narrator**
you can superior ride a grade 4!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Shin**
Misaki?
**[24:17] Misaki**
I'm busy...
**[24:18] Shin**
That was the Misaki I knew
before she went off the rails.
**[24:20] Shin**
But then her voice changed
and she became unfriendly to me.
**[24:23] Shin**
I'm so sad that I could cry...! Glance--
**[24:26] Misaki**
Out of the blue, you start going by "Shin."
Your attitude and speaking style disgust me!
**[24:31] Shin**
B-But this is meant to appeal to
parents and female customers!
**[24:35] Misaki**
You just admitted to faking your personality!
**[24:37] Shin**
I guess you preferred the old me,
my "Shinemon" personality, huh?
***SIGN*** Remind 30
A New Vanguard
**[24:41] Misaki**
That was oppressively annoying in its own way!

***SIGN*** Remind 30 A New Vanguard
***SIGN*** Rive Shindou
**[00:14] Mark**
Rive isn't dead.
**[00:17] Mark**
I'm sure he'll come back.
**[00:19] Mikuru**
It doesn't feel real yet,
but we have to face the facts.
**[00:25] Esuka**
Nothing turned up at the site of Ryuzu Lab.
**[00:30] Esuka**
At the very least, Rive Shindou's body
is nowhere to be found on Earth.
**[00:38] Mikuru**
Chrono doesn't remember anything.
**[00:41] Mikuru**
That may be for the best.
**[00:49] Shin**
I'm a failure as a disciple.
**[00:54] Misaki**
Shin, put these on.
**[00:58] Shin**
Glasses?
**[01:00] Misaki**
I asked Mikuru to buy them for you,
as a sign of a new beginning.
**[01:15] Shin**
Master...
**[01:16] Shin**
From now on, I'll...
**[01:24] Dran**
Chrono!
**[01:33] Chrono**
What was that?
**[01:38] Mikuru**
Chrono, I'm off.
**[01:40] Chrono**
See you later.
**[01:42] Mikuru**
Hey, did you turn in your
future course plan form?
**[01:47] Chrono**
No, not yet.
**[01:49] Mikuru**
Put down whatever you like.
**[01:51] Mikuru**
You can become anything you want to be.
**[02:00] Chrono**
What can I be?
**[02:03] Chrono**
I'm just grateful to be alive,
thanks to the orphanage and Mikuru.
**[02:07] Chrono**
A brat like me...
**[02:16] Shin**
You'll be able to discover who you are.
**[02:22] Chrono**
I'm nothing more than myself.
**[02:25] Tokoha**
Hey, Shindou.
**[02:29] Chrono**
Anjou? What do you want?
**[02:32] Tokoha**
You're the only one who hasn't
turned in a future course plan form.
**[02:37] Chrono**
I've already settled on my future course.
**[02:39] Chrono**
I'm gonna live on my own
so I'm not a burden to anyone.
**[02:41] Tokoha**
Something like that
doesn't count as a future course.
**[02:44] Tokoha**
What high school will you go to?
What future career will you embark on?
**[02:48] Tokoha**
This is so you're not caught unawares
once we're in third year.
**[02:54] Tokoha**
It's also a good opportunity to consider
the possibilities for your future self.
**[03:10] Chrono**
I've ended up drawn here again...
**[03:16] Kamui**
I figured you'd come.
**[03:17] Kamui**
Shin! Shin!
**[03:23] Shin**
I've awaited your arrival.
**[03:25] Shin**
I mean, I've been waiting for you!
**[03:29] Kamui**
Shin, what's with that outfit and glasses?
**[03:33] Shin**
I kind of wanted to fight in serious mode.
**[03:36] Kamui**
O-Okay.
**[03:37] Shin**
If you win, Chrono, I'll buy your deck
or do whatever you want me to.
**[03:42] Kamui**
What if you win, Shin?
**[03:46] Shin**
I just want to fight Chrono.
**[03:50] Chrono**
Then let's do it!
**[03:52] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[04:01] Chrono**
This form... I really did remember it.
**[04:07] Shin**
So that's become your First Vanguard?
**[04:11] Chrono**
What's the deal?
**[04:13] Chrono**
I ride Bearing Rover.
**[04:18] Shin**
I ride Atlas of Heavenly Sphere!
**[04:21] Shin**
Here I come!
**[04:23] Kamui**
This is the first time I've seen
Shin use a Genesis deck.
**[04:28] Shin**
So, what are you gonna do?
**[04:31] Chrono**
Um, I guard with Ring Ring Worker.
**[04:36] Kamui**
With that, you've got 23,000.
**[04:38] Shin**
Drive check!
**[04:44] Chrono**
I ride Stroboscope Dragon.
**[04:48] Chrono**
I call Steam Fencer, Idena and Bearing Rover!
**[04:55] Chrono**
Here I go!
**[04:56] Shin**
Cyber Tiger!
**[04:58] Chrono**
You guarded?
**[04:59] Kamui**
Yeah, but now ya need to do a drive check.
**[05:02] Chrono**
Oh, right.
**[05:04] Chrono**
Drive check!
**[05:06] Chrono**
Critical trigger!
**[05:08] Chrono**
Um, I can use this on rear-guards, too,
so I give all the effects to Idena!
**[05:14] Shin**
Huh.
**[05:15] Shin**
Idena attacks your Vanguard
with a boost from Bearing Rover!
**[05:19] Kamui**
There ya go.
**[05:20] Kamui**
Between the effects of that trigger
and the boost, you've got a total of 33,000!
**[05:26] Shin**
No guard!
**[05:27] Shin**
Damage check!
**[05:32] Chrono**
Yes! I got in the first 2 damage points!
**[05:34] Shin**
That was a good attack.
**[05:36] Kamui**
That's 'cause he's got a good vanguard.
**[05:38] Chrono**
My vanguard?
**[05:41] Kamui**
A vanguard is like someone who leads the way.
**[05:45] Kamui**
In the game, a vanguard makes pacts with units
from the planet Cray and leads them into battle.
**[05:50] Kamui**
And in real life, it can mean someone
who leads the way for fellow fighters.
**[05:55] Kamui**
In other words, Chrono, *I'm* your vanguard.
**[05:58] Chrono**
Huh...
**[06:00] Shin**
I ride!
**[06:02] Shin**
I call Phosphoros of Auspicious Light
and Diana of Moonlight!
**[06:06] Shin**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[06:09] Chrono**
Steam Bomber, Digul!
**[06:11] Shin**
Phosphoros and Diana!
**[06:15] Chrono**
No guard!
**[06:17] Chrono**
Damage check!
**[06:20] Chrono**
You're out of attacks. It's my turn now, right?
**[06:24] Shin**
No. Before the end of my turn,
Diana's skill activates.
**[06:29] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift, Force I.
**[06:32] Chrono**
That's all?
**[06:34] Chrono**
Stand and draw!
**[06:37] Chrono**
I ride Chronojet Dragon!
**[06:45] Kamui**
Another unit sharing your name, Chrono?
**[06:52] Chrono**
I also get an Imaginary Gift, Force I!
**[06:57] Kamui**
With that, Chrono's Vanguard gets +10,000 power!
**[07:01] Chrono**
Chronojet Dragon attacks your Vanguard!
**[07:05] Shin**
No guard!
**[07:06] Chrono**
Drive check!
**[07:09] Kamui**
All right, a critical!
**[07:11] Chrono**
I give the power to Idena and
the extra critical to Chronojet!
**[07:18] Chrono**
2 more damage and I win!
**[07:20] Chrono**
Idena attacks your Vanguard!
**[07:23] Kamui**
He can't clinch it this turn.
**[07:26] Kamui**
Attacking a rear-guard would be best,
but I haven't taught him that far yet.
**[07:33] Shin**
No guard!
**[07:35] Chrono**
I did it! Just 1 more damage!
**[07:38] Kamui**
Yeah! Hang in there through the next turn!
**[07:44] Shin**
I also had a vanguard.
**[07:46] Shin**
Well, I called him "Master."
**[07:49] Kamui**
Huh, really? Where is he now?
**[07:54] Shin**
He had a childlike personality,
**[07:58] Shin**
and whenever he seemed about to lose,
he'd take off, saying he had to get to work,
**[08:03] Shin**
so I never could beat him.
**[08:06] Shin**
Never mind work. Even though he had a wife
and child, it's as if Vanguard was his mistress.
**[08:16] Chrono**
That doesn't sound like a responsible adult.
**[08:19] Shin**
I used to think that, too.
**[08:21] Shin**
But what is an adult, Chrono?
**[08:25] Shin**
How does one become an adult?
**[08:35] Chrono**
When and how did *you* become an adult?!
**[08:46] Shin**
I ride!
**[08:48] Shin**
A ray of light pierces the darkness!
**[08:51] Shin**
No matter how faint it may be,
I am the one who will recite and extol it!
**[08:58] Shin**
Behold!
**[08:59] Shin**
Origin Deity of Heavenly Light, Uranus!
**[09:02] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift, Force I!
**[09:08] Shin**
Atlas! Gleaming Lord, Uranus!
**[09:11] Shin**
Quaking Heavenly Dragon, Astraios Dragon! Come!
**[09:31] Chrono**
All those grade 3s...
**[09:33] Shin**
Atlas's skill activates!
**[09:36] Shin**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[09:40] Kamui**
Three Force I gifts. That gives
Shin's Vanguard +30,000 power.
**[09:45] Kamui**
But that's not all.
**[09:48] Shin**
My master told me that with Vanguard,
I can become anything.
**[09:54] Shin**
It's the same with real life.
**[09:56] Shin**
Anything I can imagine, I can become.
**[10:00] Shin**
You don't have to settle on just one thing.
**[10:02] Shin**
He was the first adult to tell me that.
**[10:07] Chrono**
Imagining...
**[10:13] Shin**
Origin Deity of Heavenly Light, Uranus's
skill activates!
**[10:16] Shin**
With three Imaginary Gifts,
I can deploy the Astral Plane!
**[10:20] Chrono**
"Astral Plane"?
**[10:22] Shin**
The Astral Plane is where
the Astral Deities can appear!
**[10:25] Chrono**
"Astral Deities"? What're those?
**[10:28] Shin**
This is my victory pattern!
**[10:30] Shin**
Circle Shift!
**[10:31] Shin**
Astral Plane!
**[10:44] Shin**
O great planetary guardian deity!
**[10:47] Shin**
Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
**[10:51] Chrono**
Grade 5. 70,000 power!
**[10:54] Chrono**
That's an Astral Deity?
**[10:58] Shin**
With Valkerion, I can look at the top
five cards of my deck, choose one,
**[11:02] Shin**
and Valkerion gets the same number of
drive checks as that card's grade.
**[11:08] Shin**
I got a Quintet Drive!
**[11:10] Chrono**
"Quintet"?
**[11:11] Kamui**
It means five of them.
**[11:14] Chrono**
Five?!
**[11:15] Shin**
Zodiac Blazer! Quintet!
**[11:23] Chrono**
I'm sure the only thing
to do for that is no guard!
**[11:26] Shin**
Drive check!
**[11:27] Shin**
First check!
**[11:30] Shin**
Second check!
**[11:33] Shin**
I give the power to Phosphoros
and the extra critical to Valkerion!
**[11:37] Shin**
Third check!
**[11:39] Chrono**
A second critical!
**[11:41] Shin**
Again, I give the power to Phosphoros
and the extra critical to Valkerion!
**[11:45] Shin**
Fourth check!
**[11:47] Shin**
Fifth check!
**[11:49] Kamui**
The last one's a draw trigger...
**[11:52] Shin**
I give the power to Phosphoros. Attack!
**[11:58] Kamui**
3 damage! Ya do three damage checks.
**[12:01] Chrono**
Yes, I know!
**[12:02] Chrono**
First check!
**[12:05] Chrono**
Second check!
**[12:07] Chrono**
Critical trigger! I give
all the effects to my Vanguard!
**[12:10] Chrono**
Third check!
**[12:26] Chrono**
I'm still only at 4 damage.
**[12:28] Shin**
My master never held back.
**[12:31] Shin**
Origin Deity of Heavenly Light, Uranus's
skill activates!
**[12:34] Chrono**
Skill?
**[12:36] Shin**
By resting two Astral Poet units,
I can attack again with Valkerion.
**[12:51] Chrono**
Another 70,000 power attack?!
**[12:54] Kamui**
Worse, he's also got his Vanguard's attack left.
**[12:59] Kamui**
Let's see how long ya can hold out...
**[13:05] Shin**
Origin Deity of Heavenly Light, Uranus
attacks your Vanguard!
**[13:10] Chrono**
No guard!
**[13:11] Shin**
Drive check!
**[13:15] Shin**
Draw trigger! I give the power to Phosphoros!
**[13:22] Chrono**
Damage check!
**[13:24] Chrono**
Critical trigger! I give
all of the effects to my Vanguard!
**[13:28] Kamui**
1 more damage point and ya lose, Chrono!
**[13:31] Chrono**
Come and get me, Valkerion!
**[13:33] Shin**
Valkerion attacks your Vanguard!
**[13:36] Chrono**
I guard with two Steam Maiden, Uluru units!
**[13:41] Kamui**
Thanks to the trigger, ya guarded successfully!
**[13:44] Shin**
Best not forget, though.
**[13:47] Shin**
I can still attack with *this* one.
**[13:49] Shin**
Phosphoros of Auspicious Light
attacks your Vanguard!
**[13:53] Shin**
Phosphoros's skill activates!
**[13:55] Shin**
+5000 power!
**[13:58] Kamui**
The power from that trigger
and Diana's boost added to that...
**[14:03] Shin**
Phosphoros's power is 63,000!
**[14:07] Chrono**
I guard!
**[14:08] Kamui**
You're gonna use up all your hand?!
**[14:11] Shin**
And your guard is just equal, 63,000!
**[14:14] Shin**
It's not enough!
**[14:15] Chrono**
I also intercept with my rear-guard Diana!
**[14:20] Diana**
Leave it to me, my Vanguard!
**[14:23] Chrono**
Idena, please!
**[14:33] Kamui**
Ya rode it out, but you've got zero cards
in hand, while Shin still has plenty of them.
**[14:43] Chrono**
In the end, this is reality.
**[14:48] Chrono**
Shinemon Nitta. Why didn't you go on
to become an international pro fighter,
**[14:55] Chrono**
when you're this strong?
**[14:57] Kamui**
Hey!
**[14:58] Chrono**
I know you lost in the finals
of the Asia Circuit ten years ago.
**[15:03] Chrono**
Your dream never panned out.
**[15:05] Chrono**
You talk about being able to become anything,
but the reality is you're fighting kids like me.
**[15:10] Kamui**
Wha...?!
**[15:17] Shin**
Reality is garbage.
**[15:20] Shin**
Those are also my master's words.
**[15:23] Shin**
Even if you have a variety of dreams
and are able to imagine yourself in them...
**[15:29] Shin**
Well, while I was working through that,
my dear master disappeared.
**[15:36] Chrono**
Disappeared?
**[15:38] Shin**
That's why I'm here.
**[15:42] Shin**
I pass on to children the wisdom
I received from my master!
**[15:47] Shin**
As long as you can imagine it,
you can become anything!
**[15:54] Chrono**
But even when I try to imagine it,
all I can see is myself losing.
**[16:00] Shin**
Master never mastered this deck.
**[16:04] Shin**
But I know you can do it, Chrono.
**[16:08] Shin**
You can hear the voices of the units!
**[16:10] Shin**
Listen to them, Chrono!
**[16:14] Shin**
Rewrite your imagination!
**[16:16] Shin**
Rewrite this lousy reality and the image of
your own failure, then face the future and fly!
**[16:26] Chrono**
Stand and draw!
**[16:33] Chrono**
What's that?
**[16:35] Dran**
Chrono... Chrono!
**[16:38] Dran**
Have you forgotten me?
**[16:42] Chrono**
You're Chrono... Dran.
**[16:45] Dran**
You called to me. That's how I found you.
**[16:49] Dran**
And even now...
**[16:52] Chrono**
Dran...
**[16:55] Dran**
So, what do you want to do?
**[16:57] Dran**
Together, the two of us can do anything.
**[17:02] Chrono**
I want to defeat him.
**[17:07] Chrono**
No, wait.
**[17:10] Chrono**
I want to defeat my current self,
**[17:12] Chrono**
who uses the fact that I forgot everything
as an excuse to run away from my true self.
**[17:20] Dran**
Sure, that's easy.
**[17:22] Dran**
Let's destroy your "self."
**[17:25] Dran**
Go!
**[17:31] Chrono**
I'll destroy who I am now.
**[17:33] Chrono**
And then...
**[17:36] Chrono**
Chronojet Dragon's skill activates.
**[17:38] Chrono**
By discarding one or more cards with
the sum of their grades being 3 or higher,
**[17:43] Chrono**
I superior ride Chronodragon Nextage
from my deck!
**[17:49] Chrono**
Manifest here and now,
being that transcends all others!
**[17:54] Chrono**
Chronodragon Nextage!
**[17:57] Kamui**
He can superior ride a grade 4?!
**[18:00] Shin**
Right! Ten years ago, Ryuzu superior rode
Chronotiger Rebellion from Chronofang Tiger!
**[18:09] Shin**
It's Gear Chronicle's power to transcend time!
**[18:14] Chrono**
Did I surpass myself?
**[18:16] Chrono**
Chronodragon Nextage attacks!
**[18:20] Chrono**
Super Dimensional Roar!
**[18:25] Shin**
Goddess of Self-sacrifice, Kushinada!
**[18:27] Kamui**
A perfect guard!
**[18:28] Shin**
I don't take any damage,
but you can do a drive check.
**[18:33] Chrono**
No trigger!
**[18:35] Kamui**
Aww man, now it's Shin's turn agai--
**[18:38] Chrono**
Chronodragon Nextage's skill activates!
**[18:41] Chrono**
To pay the cost, I discard the two units
that the drive check just added to my hand,
**[18:46] Chrono**
and then retire Chronodragon Nextage!
**[18:49] Shin**
Riding Chronojet Dragon, from the Soul?!
**[18:52] Shin**
Guide me to the future and open up a new world!
**[18:56] Shin**
I superior ride Chronojet Dragon!
**[19:06] Chrono**
I get an Imaginary Gift!
**[19:10] Chrono**
Chronojet Dragon attacks!
**[19:12] Chrono**
Including the power of the
two Imaginary Gifts, I have 53,000!
**[19:16] Kamui**
And with the card's skill, your opponent can't
use Sentinels to guard against the attack!
**[19:22] Shin**
Kukurihime! Cyber Tiger! Diana of Moonlight!
**[19:25] Shin**
Phosphoros, you help too!
**[19:27] Phosphoros**
No problem!
**[19:35] Shin**
Even without a perfect guard,
I have 58,000 to your 53,000!
**[19:40] Chrono**
Drive check!
**[19:42] Chrono**
First check!
**[19:43] Chrono**
Second check!
**[19:45] Kamui**
A draw trigger!
**[19:47] Chrono**
I give the power to Chronojet Dragon!
**[19:49] Chrono**
That gives me a total of 63,000!
**[19:59] Chrono**
Lightning Soul Attack! Consecutive Burst!
**[20:07] Shin**
Damage check.
**[20:14] Shin**
You got me!
**[20:19] Chrono**
I won?
**[20:22] Kamui**
That was awesome, Chrono!
**[20:23] Kamui**
You've totally mastered Gear Chronicle!
**[20:27] Chrono**
No, I...
**[20:30] Chrono**
Hey!
**[20:33] Chrono**
I feel like I wish I could've met your "master."
**[20:42] Chrono**
What the heck?
**[20:45] Chrono**
Why am I... crying?
**[21:07] Dran**
I saw Chrono's dream.
**[21:16] Esuka**
Chrono used a Gear Chronicle deck?!
**[21:19] Shin**
I don't know where he got it from.
**[21:22] Shin**
But I think it would be okay if
I just keep an eye on him for a while.
**[21:26] Shin**
People may say that Vanguard is just a game,
**[21:31] Shin**
but playing it can teach you important lessons
and give you dreams to reach for.
**[21:37] Esuka**
Could it be you don't want to be the adult
who tells him it's dangerous and confiscates it?
**[21:41] Shin**
We're told that if adults engage them earnestly,
then children will have boundless imagination.
**[21:47] Shin**
That's what I believe.
**[21:49] Esuka**
And that's why you also believe in
the potential of Gear Chronicle?
**[21:53] Esuka**
How exasperating.
**[21:55] Esuka**
This means you're still a child.
**[21:58] Esuka**
But I still prefer you
with these glasses and hairstyle.
**[22:07] Shin**
W-Well, I'm not so sure--
**[22:37] Shin**
Welcome. Thanks for coming.
**[22:41] Kid**
Shin, check out my deck!
**[22:43] Kid**
Shin, which ones are the new packs?!
**[22:46] Kid**
Shin, let's fight!
**[22:51] Shion**
Shin, see you tomorrow.
**[23:03] Shion**
Huh, isn't he in my class?
**[23:15] Kid**
Is this one strong?
**[23:16] Chrono**
U-Um...
**[23:21] Shin**
Hi. Welcome.
**[23:24] Shin**
All right, let's imagine.
**[23:26] Shin**
To become strong, you need imagination.
**[23:29] Kid**
I got stronger!
**[23:31] Shin**
That's right!
**[23:34] Shin**
Imagine!
**[23:35] Kids**
Imagine!
**[23:35] Shin**
Imagine!
**[23:38] Kids**
Imagine!
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Chrono's
Chronodragon Nextage!
***SIGN*** Chronodragon Nextage
**[23:53] Narrator**
Using Chronojet Dragon's skill, you can
superior ride Nextage directly from your deck.
**[23:58] Narrator**
And once the unit is done attacking,
if you discard two cards from your hand,
**[24:01] Narrator**
you can immediately ride
Chronojet Dragon from the Soul!
**[24:04] Narrator**
May the consecutive attacks
leading from Nextage to Chronojet
**[24:07] Narrator**
guide you to the future
and open up a new world!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Shin**
After half a year,
**[24:18] Shin**
"*Cardfight Vanguard*: Fight, Shinemon Nitta!!
Protect Earth!!" has reached its final episode.
**[24:24] Shin**
It's a desperate situation,
even for the invincible Vanguard,
**[24:27] Shin**
who must now face down
the seven demonic armies from hell!
**[24:30] Shin**
Stand up! Arise, Vanguard!
**[24:33] Shin**
Just then, a new ally appears!
And his name is: Vanguard Great!!
**[24:38] Mikuru**
What if the kids take you seriously?!

**[00:03] Shin**
Hello. I'm Shin Nitta.
**[00:07] Shin**
It's very difficult to make TV anime.
**[00:11] Shin**
Case in point, we finished
our story arc in last week's episode,
**[00:14] Shin**
but still had one more episode scheduled.
**[00:18] Shin**
Still, no need to worry.
**[00:20] Shin**
Thinking this might happen, I prepared
a special episode where I'm the main--
**[00:23] Shinemon**
Hold it right there!
**[00:25] Shinemon**
I, *Shinemon Nitta*, am the star of this show!
**[00:29] Shinemon**
My story goes first!
**[00:31] Shinemon**
This took place while
I was still a college student.

You're that delighted?
**[03:01] Mikuru**
Gulp!
**[03:02] Mikuru**
D-Don't be silly! Of course not!
**[03:04] Mikuru**
Seriously, the two of us, idols?!
**[03:07] Esuka**
Not two, but three.
**[03:12] Esuka**
Thanks for your support, everyone!
**[03:18] Esuka**
I am the eternal idol, Esuka Hibino!
**[03:24] Mikuru**
But why must the three of us become idols?
**[03:28] Hitsujida**
I shall explain.
**[03:32] Hitsujida**
On this Sunday, to celebrate
the release of a new booster set,
**[03:36] Hitsujida**
we will be holding a Special Vanguard Day.
***SIGN*** Special Vanguard Day Secret Event: Famous Idol Hand-off
**[03:40] Hitsujida**
For the secret activity, we had planned a
hand-off event featuring a certain famous idol.
**[03:46] Mikuru**
"Hand-off event"?
**[03:47] Esuka**
It's where fans buy photo books or CDs,
and the idol herself hands it directly to them.
**[03:53] Hitsujida**
Although we did have a
famous idol lined up for the event...
**[03:58] Hitsujida**
...she suddenly canceled on us.
**[04:02] Esuka**
I even asked another girl,
but her schedule didn't work out.
**[04:06] Esuka**
That's when I thought of you two!
**[04:09] Esuka**
The three of us are going to
form an idol unit for one day only!
**[04:13] Esuka**
We'll take Special Vanguard Day
and kick it into high gear!
**[04:17] Nanami**
W-Well, if that's what
Ms. Esuka wants, I'll go along with it...
**[04:20] Mikuru**
An idol? Yeah, right.
There's no way I'd agree to that.
**[04:27] Nanami**
You did agree to it!
**[04:30] Esuka**
Fundamental to being an idol
is a smile that everyone will love!
**[04:33] Esuka**
Your mouth should be like
when saying the letter "E."
**[04:36] Esuka**
"E"!
**[04:37] Esuka**
Now you try!
**[04:39] Mikuru**
E!
**[04:39] Nanami**
E!
**[04:40] Mikuru**
E!
**[04:41] Nanami**
E!
**[04:43] Esuka**
Next, your outfits!
**[04:44] Esuka**
Hitsujida!
**[04:50] Nanami**
It's unit cosplay!
**[04:52] Mikuru**
Outfits like that exist?!
**[04:54] Esuka**
On the day of the event, you'll be
doing your own makeup, so practice that.
**[04:59] Nanami**
Here I am, Ms. Esuka!
**[05:02] Nanami**
Meow! Aren't I cute?
**[05:06] Esuka**
Cat!
**[05:07] Esuka**
Cat! Cat! Cat!
**[05:09] Mikuru**
Hey, doesn't Ms. Esuka have a cat phobia?
**[05:12] Nanami**
Please don't run, Ms. Esuka!
**[05:15] Nanami**
It's just me!
**[05:17] Tonori**
Yo, do other countries do tongue twisters too?
**[05:21] Mark**
Of course.
**[05:23] Mark**
Eight simians each
consumed one forbidden fruit.
**[05:26] Tonori**
So how'd you say that in English?
**[05:29] Mark**
"Eight apes ate eight apples."
**[05:32] Tonori**
I'll try it, yo.
**[05:34] Tonori**
"Eight apes ate eight apples."
**[05:37] Mark**
What the heck?!

**[05:43] Mark**
Peter Piper picked a pec--
**[05:45] Tonori**
"Peter Piper picked a peck of peppers," yo.
**[05:48] Mark**
Yikes...
**[05:49] Mark**
E-Excellent, Tonori.
**[05:51] Mark**
With English that good,
you can upgrade your character.
**[05:55] Tonori**
Okay! From now on,
verily, I shall be Ninja Master II!
**[06:01] Mark**
Tonori, the Starvin' Fighter, yo.
**[06:03] Mark**
His favorite food is
juicy sushi in a jacuzzi, yo.
***SIGN*** Meow! Don't change the characters on the last day!
**[06:15] Miwa**
I wonder what they're
gonna do for the secret event!
**[06:18] Kai**
Beats me.
**[06:20] Ibuki**
It's about to start!
**[06:29] Esuka**
Hello, everyone!
**[06:31] Esuka**
The Special Vanguard Day's secret activity...
**[06:35] Esuka**
...is the three of us doing
a hand-off event AND an attack event!
**[06:42] Mikuru**
Ms. Esuka really is popular, huh?
**[06:45] Nanami**
It's because she used to be an idol.
**[06:48] Mikuru**
All right! We've got to do our best, too!
**[06:51] Nanami**
I guess we're past the point of no return...
**[06:54] Mikuru**
By the way, what's an "attack event"?
**[06:57] Esuka**
Here we come!
**[06:59] Esuka**
Attack!
**[07:01] Esuka**
Bam!
**[07:04] The Three**
Attack!
**[07:06] Ibuki**
What's so fun about being attacked by women?
**[07:09] Kai**
You got me.
**[07:11] Ibuki**
By the way, where's Miwa?
**[07:14] Kai**
Over there!
**[07:16] Miwa**
Getting attacked by gorgeous women
is like a dream come true!
**[07:20] Ibuki**
So Miwa likes older women!
**[07:23] Kai**
Still, there should be limits.

**[07:25] Hitsujida**
We have an emergency!
**[07:28] Hitsujida**
Truth to be told, we are having
trouble with another secret guest!
**[07:33] Mikuru**
There's another secret guest?
**[07:35] Nanami**
Who?
**[07:36] Hitsujida**
Shinemon Nitta!
**[07:39] Hitsujida**
It appears that Sub Manager suddenly
has a fever, so he is looking for a vet.
**[07:45] Hitsujida**
It seems he will be very late.
**[07:47] Mikuru**
Huh? Shinemon's coming here?
**[07:50] Nanami**
Will Sub Manager be okay?!
**[07:53] Nanami**
I'm worried!
**[07:54] Nanami**
I'm just so worried!
**[07:55] Hitsujida**
Please! I am attempting to make up
for the sudden cancellation!
**[07:58] Nanami**
Don't die on me, Sub Manager!

**[08:05] Ryuzu**
It's forbidden technology that
connects Earth to the planet Cray.
**[08:10] Ryuzu**
Watch closely, humanity!
**[08:13] Ryuzu**
This will be the unit that proves
the existence of the planet Cray:
**[08:17] Ryuzu**
Valkerion!
**[08:27] Ryuzu**
Wait a moment!
**[08:28] Ryuzu**
What was that growl?!
**[08:30] Ryuzu**
I didn't summon *you!*
**[08:35] Esuka**
In the end, Shinemon Nitta didn't make it.
**[08:39] Esuka**
But you two saved the show.
**[08:42] Esuka**
The event was a huge success.
**[08:45] Esuka**
Good job.
**[08:46] Esuka**
Hitsujida.
**[08:48] Hitsujida**
Yes, ma'am.
**[08:50] Mikuru**
What's wrong?
**[08:51] Hitsujida**
Actually, in addition to your pay,
Esuka has a gift for each of you.
**[08:55] Hitsujida**
For Nanami...
**[08:57] Hitsujida**
This.
**[08:58] Nanami**
Meow-meow! It's a giant plushie of Sub Manager!
**[09:02] Hitsujida**
And for Mikuru...
**[09:04] Mikuru**
Makeup!
**[09:06] Esuka**
You can experiment with it
to your heart's content.
**[09:10] Mikuru**
Thank you!
**[09:12] Nanami**
Ms. Esuka, thank you so mu--
**[09:15] Esuka**
I hate cats! I'm afraid
of cats! I'm a fraidy cat!
**[09:18] Mikuru**
Ay-yi-yi...
**[09:20] Nanami**
Oh boy...
**[09:22] Miwa**
Man, that was a blast!
**[09:25] Kai**
Really?
**[09:26] Ibuki**
There really are all kinds of shops.
**[09:29] Miwa**
Yep!
**[09:30] Shinemon**
That took longer than I expected.
**[09:36] The Two**
Misaki!
**[09:37] Nanami**
Hey, how is Sub Manager doing?!
**[09:40] Shinemon**
Fine! The vet said it was just indigestion.
**[09:45] Shinemon**
That aside, why are you all dressed like that?
**[09:48] Esuka**
What do you think?
**[09:49] Nanami**
Ms. Esuka ordered me to...
**[09:52] Mikuru**
I-I'm just keeping Nanami company...
**[09:55] Shinemon**
You look great!
**[09:59] Misaki**
These are cute!
**[10:00] Esuka**
Want to try one on?
**[10:06] Misaki**
How do I look?
**[10:08] Mikuru**
It really suits you!
**[10:10] Nanami**
So stylish!
**[10:12] Shinemon**
You look awesome, Misaki!
**[10:14] Shinemon**
On a whole other level
than Mikuru and Nanami!
**[10:17] Misaki**
That's not true...
**[10:19] Shinemon**
I doubt there are any real idols
who look as cute as you look in that!
**[10:23] Shinemon**
You've got a kung fu grip on my heart!
**[10:29] Shinemon**
What was that for?!
**[10:30] Nanami**
Punishment!
**[10:31] Mikuru**
You Sicko Cinnamon!
**[10:33] Mikuru**
Your true nature rears its head at last!
**[10:35] Shin**
You've got the wrong idea! I was just--
**[10:38] Esuka**
Would you like to become an idol?
**[10:42] Misaki**
Huh?
**[11:03] Shin**
And now we have a story set in the days
when Aichi and the gang frequented Capital.
**[11:09] Shin**
So--
**[11:09] Shinemon**
Enjoy!

***SIGN*** Esu Cup
**[11:41] Kai**
Looks like that's an Esuka Group PR magazine.
**[11:43] Shingo**
Yes, it was published ten years ago.
**[11:47] Kai**
Ten years ago...
**[11:49] Shingo**
Do you recall the story the manager
told us during the new year holiday?
**[11:54] Morikawa**
That tall tale?! But Mr. Mark told us:
**[11:57] Mark**
You were greatly distorting the truth.
**[11:59] Morikawa**
Remember?
**[12:01] Aichi**
But he didn't say it was a lie.
**[12:03] Shingo**
It piqued my curiosity,
so I did some research.
**[12:06] Shingo**
This is the article I wanted you to see.
***SIGN*** Team Capital, Winners of the Esu Cup
**[12:11] Naoki**

Right here.
***SIGN*** Team Capital, Winners of the Esu Cup
**[12:16] Aichi**
"Team Capital"?!

Ninja Master!
**[12:24] Morikawa**
He's just so cool, y'know?!
**[12:27] Morikawa**
I wanna wear that helmet!
**[12:29] Miwa**
Then this is the manager's mentor?
**[12:32] Aichi**
Is that the manager?
**[12:34] The Four**
Nahhh...
**[12:35] Morikawa**
Seriously, just look at that photo.
**[12:39] Morikawa**
The face and hairstyle are all wrong.
**[12:42] Miwa**
Even the glasses are different.
**[12:44] Kai**
It should have his name there.
**[12:47] Kai**
Shinemon Nitta...
**[12:50] The Four**
Manager?!
**[12:51] Shin**
At your service!
**[12:53] Shin**
Can I help you?
**[12:55] Morikawa**
Manager, your name is "Shin," right?
**[12:58] Miwa**
This says that Shinemon Nitta
won the Esu Cup ten years ago!
**[13:04] Miwa**
Care to explain?
**[13:05] Shin**
W-Well, it's complicated...
**[13:08] Morikawa**
Try us!
**[13:10] Shin**
A-Actually...
**[13:12] Shin**
It's time! I have to open the shop!
**[13:15] Morikawa**
He ran away.
**[13:18] Miwa**
Very suspicious.
**[13:24] Nagashiro**
President.
**[13:26] Naitou**
What are you talking about, Nagashiro?
**[13:29] Naitou**
I've already retired.
**[13:32] Naitou**
You're the president now, remember?
**[13:34] Nagashiro**
Since you're aware of that,
please don't sit in my chair!
**[13:39] Naitou**
Oh. Pardon me.
***SIGN*** *Former* Student Council President
**[13:42] Suwabe**

what about studying for entrance exams?
**[13:47] Naitou**
I'm just taking a break.
**[13:48] Naitou**
I don't see you studying, either.
**[13:51] Suwabe**
I've already been accepted
based on a recommendation.
**[13:53] Nagashiro**
Wait a moment.
**[13:55] Nagashiro**
Isn't this the day of the entrance exam
for your first-choice university?!
**[13:59] Naitou**
You must be confused. The exam is tomorrow.
**[14:02] Naitou**
It's here on my schedule...
**[14:04] Naitou**
G-GLOBAL!
**[14:06] Suwabe**
It *was* today, wasn't it?
**[14:09] The Two**
Our condolences.
**[14:12] Naitou**
This is a sign from God.
**[14:15] Naitou**
A global fellow like me isn't meant
to study at a Japanese university!
**[14:18] Naitou**
God is telling me to study abroad!
**[14:22] Nagashiro**
Is your English up to it?
**[14:24] Nakagami**
Words are meaningless!
**[14:28] Suwabe**
Nakagami.
**[14:29] Nakagami**
My sixth sense is telling me...
**[14:33] Nakagami**
"Move on to a new venue together."
**[14:35] Naitou**
A new venue, you say?
**[14:37] Nakagami**
That's right.
***SIGN*** Universal Preparatory School Your power is universal!
**[14:39] Nakagami**
A universal world, which surpasses the global.
**[14:43] Nakagami**

**[14:47] Suwabe**
That's a pamphlet for a prep school.
**[14:50] Suwabe**
"Introduce a friend now to get
half-price on your own enrollment."
**[14:55] Suwabe**
As I recall, Nakagami hasn't taken
any college entrance exams, either.
**[14:58] Nagashiro**
Which means...
**[15:00] Nagashiro**
...they'll both be in limbo for a year.
**[15:06] Miwa**
I can't believe they're the same person.
**[15:10] Aichi**
But there is a certain similarity...
**[15:13] Naoki**
Maybe they're brothers or cousins?
**[15:15] Naoki**
Like his relative's a really strong fighter,
**[15:17] Naoki**
so he posed as 'im to lure in customers
when he opened this place up?
**[15:22] Aichi**
But Card Capital originally
belonged to Misaki's parents.
**[15:26] Aichi**
I doubt that would've been necessary.
**[15:30] Kai**
Thanks to this article, we know that there
was once a strong fighter named Shinemon Nitta.
**[15:36] Kai**
We also know that he would've
been a regular at Card Capital.
**[15:41] Morikawa**
Then can't we clear the
whole thing up by asking Mr. Mark?
**[15:45] Miwa**
Mr. Mark?
**[15:46] Morikawa**
Yeah. They're old friends, aren't they?
**[15:49] Miwa**
Yeah, but there's no guarantee
he would tell us the truth either.
**[15:53] Miwa**
They might be accomplices.
**[15:55] Aichi**
Accomplices?
**[15:56] Miwa**
Yeah. If they're accomplices...
**[16:03] Mark**
Now, the identity and status
of "Shinemon Nitta" will be all yours!
**[16:08] Shin**
Thank you, Mark.
**[16:09] Shin**
Let's go!
**[16:15] Kamui**
Then why would he
call himself "Shin Nitta" now?
**[16:19] Miwa**
Out of a guilty conscience.
**[16:23] Shin**
Their imaginations are
really giving me a beatdown...
**[16:29] Shin**
Welcome.

Okay!
**[16:45] Employee 2**

**[16:46] Employee 3**
I ride!
**[16:46] Employee 4**
I attack!
**[16:47] Employee 5**
I call!
**[16:47] Tetsu**
He may well be cut out
for unifying an organization.
**[16:52] Tetsu**
By the way, Asaka, what are you doing?
**[16:56] Asaka**
Studying for entrance exams, of course.
**[16:57] Ren**
On the floor?
**[16:59] Asaka**
This is where I concentrate the best.
**[17:02] Kawanami**
I did it! I did it! I did it!
**[17:03] Kawanami**
I did it!
**[17:05] Kawanami**
I really did it!
**[17:06] Kawanami**
I'm gonna go to dog trainer school!
**[17:09] Kawanami**
This is the double critical
I've been waiting for! Woof!
**[17:14] Asaka**
Shut up, Kawanami!
**[17:18] Tetsu**
You can't concentrate like this.
**[17:21] Ren**
You'll fail your entrance exams
and wind up starting the same year as me.
**[17:28] Asaka**
The same year as Ren...?!
**[17:35] Ren**
Open wide!
**[17:37] Tetsu**
I guess Asaka won't be
entering college for a year...
**[17:47] Nanami**
Sub Manager's gotten bigger.
**[17:51] Shin**
You've really grown up yourself, Nanami.
**[17:54] Nanami**
The way you talk now creeps me out.
**[17:57] Nanami**
You used to be more...
**[18:00] Nanami**
Like, rough around the edges.
**[18:02] Shin**
W-Was I?
**[18:06] Nanami**
Your hair and glasses are all rounded-off, too.
**[18:09] Nanami**
What happened to you, Shinemon Nitta?!
**[18:12] Shin**
Well, you could say that something happened.
**[18:15] Shin**
But you could also say that nothing happened.
**[18:18] Emi**
Shin, is Aichi here?
**[18:21] Shin**
He's downstairs.
**[18:22] Emi**
Thank you!
**[18:25] Nanami**
"Shin"?
**[18:27] Shin**
Yes, everyone calls me "Shin Nitta."
**[18:31] Nanami**
You removed the "emon"?
**[18:33] Shin**
It was about a year after
I took over the shop from Esuka.
**[18:39] Shin**
Business was bad,
no matter what I tried.
**[18:42] Shin**
The shop wasn't getting any traffic.
**[18:46] Shin**
But then, one day...
**[18:48] Misaki**
I'll be helping out here from now on.
**[18:51] Shin**
"Emon" is short for "uemon no fu."
**[18:55] Shin**
It was originally an official post,
a guard who'd protect the imperial court.
**[18:58] Shin**
Like my namesake, I felt it was my duty
to protect Misaki as well as Capital,
**[19:04] Shin**
and put a lot of pressure on myself to do that.
**[19:07] Shin**
But Misaki was beyond the point
of needing to be protected all the time.
**[19:15] Shin**
And a shop isn't something to be protected,
but something that everyone creates together.
**[19:25] Shin**
Once I realized that...
**[19:27] Shin**
...it was like a huge weight
had been lifted from my shoulders.
**[19:31] Shin**
The next thing I knew, our customers
had returned, and my hair had gotten like this.
**[19:39] Shin**
So I don't need the "emon" anymore.
**[19:43] Shin**
Shin Nitta is fine.
**[19:49] Nanami**
I see.
**[19:51] Nanami**
Actually, I've come back to Japan
to recruit some teammates.
**[19:56] Shin**
Teammates?
**[19:58] Nanami**
Next year there's gonna be a new tournament
gathering top fighters from all over the world.
**[20:04] Nanami**
How about participating as a member of my team?
**[20:10] Shin**
I appreciate it, but now,
I've got them... as well as this shop.
**[20:21] Nanami**
I see...
**[20:24] Tonori**
We've gotta get to the airport, yo.
**[20:30] Nanami**
Okay.
**[20:32] Nanami**
I won't pressure you again.
**[20:36] Shin**
I'm sorry.
**[20:38] Nanami**
Take care, Manager.
**[20:45] Kyou**
I-I don't believe it! Those two are...
**[20:47] Miwa**
To sum up, there used to be
a regular at Card Capital
**[20:51] Miwa**
who was an awesome fighter
by the name of Shinemon Nitta.
**[20:55] Morikawa**
However, after losing in the
Asia Circuit finals six years ago, he vanished.
**[21:01] Morikawa**
But how...? Hey, Manager!
**[21:04] Morikawa**
Be honest! Where you hide the body?!
**[21:08] Miwa**
We'll go easier on you if you confess!
**[21:12] Shin**
I haven't done anything!
**[21:14] Kai**
Ridiculous...
**[21:15] Kyou**
Hey, hey, hey, hey! You guys!
**[21:18] Kamui**
What is it, Kyou?!
**[21:19] Kyou**
I just saw Nanami Gonomi
and Tonori Fujinami outside!
**[21:24] Emi**
Are they famous?
**[21:26] Shingo**
Yes! Like A-list celebrities!
**[21:29] Shingo**
They're international top fighters
based out of Singapore.
**[21:33] Emi**
Wow!
**[21:35] Kyou**
Don't tell me they came here?
**[21:37] Kyou**
Well, Manager?
**[21:39] Shin**
N-No...
**[21:41] Kyou**
They walked out of this shop!
**[21:43] Shin**
Now that you mention it, maybe they were here.
**[21:46] Kyou**
Why didn't you keep them here?!
**[21:49] Morikawa**
We could've at least gotten their autographs!
**[21:51] Shin**
Oh, that never occurred to me...
**[21:54] The Four**
What's wrong with you?!
**[21:57] The Two**
You're fired!
**[22:00] Shin**
Then who's going be the manager?!
**[22:04] All**
Sub Manager!
**[22:07] Shin**
Seriously?!

"An interim of about 800 years follows,
after which the ceramic culture began."
**[03:45] Emi**
Right?
**[03:46] Teacher**
Yes, exactly!
**[03:50] Emi**
Excuse me!
**[03:52] Emi**
I must be going now!
**[03:55] Emi**
Shuka!
**[03:57] Emi**
Sorry!
**[03:58] Shuka**
Took you long enough, Emi!
**[04:00] Emi**
Well, I was in class!
**[04:03] Shuka**
The entrance won't wait!
**[04:05] Emi**
I know! Let's hurry, Shuka!
**[04:15] Nome**
Now then, allow me to explain.
**[04:18] Nome**
Up to now, you've made two grave mistakes.
**[04:22] Nome**
One is a past mistake.
**[04:24] Nome**
The other is a future mistake.
**[04:28] Ibuki**
You lost me there.
**[04:30] Ibuki**
A past mistake is one thing,
but is a future mistake even possible?
**[04:35] Nome**
It is.
**[04:36] Nome**
I have an observer within me.
**[04:38] Ibuki**
Huh, just within you?
**[04:41] Suiko**
Apparently you had another
nightmare this morning.
**[04:45] Suiko**
And you don't accept this state of affairs.
**[04:49] Suiko**
Something's not right,
**[04:51] Suiko**
but you can't identify just what it is.
**[04:54] Ibuki**
Well, you've done your homework.
**[04:57] Ibuki**
Do you intend to take
advantage of my weakness
**[04:59] Ibuki**
by giving me a hard sell
on some dodgy exorcism talisman?
**[05:03] Suiko**
Not even close.
**[05:05] Suiko**
Let's get back on track.
**[05:08] Suiko**
What you must do is correct your own error,
**[05:13] Suiko**
and return the world to how it's meant to be.
**[05:16] Ibuki**
How it's meant to be?
**[05:22] Nome**
Surely you have some idea.
**[05:25] Nome**
A world without that.
**[05:32] Nome**
You can see it too, yes?
**[05:34] Nome**
That building...
**[05:35] Ibuki**
Yeah, that's right.
**[05:38] Ibuki**
Ever since I first laid eyes on that,
**[05:40] Ibuki**
I've been having nightmares,
and not a single decent night's sleep.
**[05:44] Ibuki**
Just what is that castle?!
**[05:46] Suiko**
It belongs to someone you know well.
**[05:49] Ibuki**
Someone I know?
**[05:51] Ibuki**
Who is it?
**[05:54] Suiko**
It's...
**[06:07] Emi**
Is it really up ahead?
**[06:09] Shuka**
Yeah, just a little further.
**[06:24] Morikawa**
You walked right into my trap!
**[06:31] Shuka**
One of the Four Generals!
**[06:33] Emi**
*He's* one of the Four Generals?
**[06:35] Emi**
Doesn't look that tough to me.
**[06:38] Morikawa**
Get 'em!
**[06:42] Shuka**
Emi, let's transform!
**[06:45] Emi**
Right!
**[06:59] The Two**
Blaster Pair!
**[07:09] Emi**
We beat them?
**[07:12] Shuka**
I don't think so.
**[07:14] The Two**
Figures, huh?
**[07:18] Emi**
All right, let's go arm-in-arm!
**[07:19] Shuka**
Yeah!
**[07:33] Shuka**
Oh, dear.
**[07:34] Emi**
Let's go!
**[07:35] Shuka**
Right!
**[07:41] Voice 1**
Beaten so easily...
**[07:44] Morikawa**
You guys!
**[07:45] Voice 1**
"You guys"? Who do you think you're talking to?
**[07:50] Voice 2**
Beaten by two little girls...
You have brought shame to the empire.
**[07:56] Voice 3**
You're the weakest of the Four Generals.
**[07:59] Voice 3**
We're done with you.
**[08:01] Voice 1**
We hereby banish you to the Outside World!
**[08:06] Morikawa**
I'm sidelined from this series already?!
**[08:28] Aichi**
You've done well to make it this far.
**[08:30] Aichi**
I'm impressed.
**[08:31] Shuka**
Don't patronize us!
**[08:33] Shuka**
Once we get serious,
even you are no match for us.
**[08:38] Aichi**
Is that right? Then show me
how serious you can be.
**[08:44] Emi**
If you would, Shuka!
**[08:46] Shuka**
Gotcha!
**[08:47] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[08:52] Emi**
Protect us, Blaster Blade!
**[08:55] Emi**
Realize!
**[09:08] Aichi**
Come to me, my loyal servants.
**[09:17] Emi**
I understand, Blaster Blade.
**[09:19] Emi**
Let's go, Shuka!
**[09:20] Shuka**
R-Right!
**[09:46] Emi**
Shuka, how about the next card?!
**[09:48] Shuka**
Um, we do have another, but...
**[09:51] Shuka**
Okay, here!
**[09:52] Emi**
Realize!
**[10:00] Shuka**
I was afraid of that...
**[10:12] Emi**
Blaster Blade!
**[10:20] Aichi**
Fire.
**[10:36] Aichi**
Find them. I'll leave the rest to you.
**[10:49] Shuka**
Ouch!
**[10:52] Shuka**
Emi!
**[10:55] Emi**
I'm okay! No problem!
**[11:04] Shuka**
We failed.
**[11:06] Emi**
There's always tomorrow.
**[11:07] Shuka**
Yeah...
**[11:09] Emi**
We won't let something like this get us down!
**[11:18] Ibuki**
Someone I know?
**[11:20] Ibuki**
Who is it?
**[11:22] Suiko**
It's...
**[11:25] Suiko**
...Aichi Sendou.
**[11:27] Ibuki**
Aichi Sendou?!
**[11:35] Suiko**
Nome possesses the Akashic Book.
**[11:39] Suiko**
This book contains the history
of everything up to now.
**[11:43] Suiko**
It says the place where he's idolized
is known as Sanctuary.
**[11:48] Ibuki**
Sanctuary?
**[11:56] Nome**
Yes. Sanctuary.
**[12:10] Ibuki**
What does that mean?
**[12:12] Ibuki**
I know nothing of this!
**[12:14] Nome**
Of course not.
**[12:16] Ibuki**
Enough games. I'm leaving.
**[12:17] Suiko**
Then you'll have nightmares
for the rest of your life...
**[12:21] Ibuki**
What do you want me to do?
**[12:23] Suiko**
It's simple.
**[12:24] Suiko**
Go to a certain school and slip a deck
into someone's shoe cupboard.
**[12:28] Suiko**
That's all.
**[12:30] Ibuki**
Why is that necessary?
**[12:33] Suiko**
It's not necessary. It's inevitable.
**[12:36] Nome**
I'm fine not doing anything, but...
**[12:41] Suiko**
Put the deck in the shoe cupboard.
**[12:44] Suiko**
Then history will change,
and a new gear will begin to turn.
**[12:49] Nome**
Yes, perhaps even a literal "gear."
**[12:52] Ibuki**
History? A gear?
**[12:54] Suiko**
You will give the deck to a second-year
student at Harumi Middle School,
**[12:58] Suiko**
Chrono Shindou.
**[13:00] Ibuki**
Who's that?
**[13:02] Ibuki**
What's going on?!
**[13:04] Nome**
It seems the time has come.
**[13:06] Nome**
It's calling for you from over there.
**[13:10] Nome**
Have a nice trip. Don't forget your mission.
**[13:15] Nome**
Things could get chaotic if you do.
**[13:19] Ibuki**
Wait! I still don't get what this is about!
**[13:22] Ibuki**
Where's the deck?!
**[13:25] Nome**
It's not here.
**[13:27] Nome**
What you need is in the future.
**[13:30] Ibuki**
In the future?!
**[13:43] Suiko**
Will he be able to do it?
**[13:45] Nome**
It'll be okay. Probably.
**[13:53] Shuka**
Where are we?
**[13:56] Emi**
This is the world of the future!
**[13:59] Shuka**
Even the future is warped?
**[14:02] Shuka**
What a crisis it's become...
**[14:09] Boy 1**
There's trash in his shoe cupboard again!
**[14:11] Boy 2**
Who did that?! If he finds out, they're toast!
**[14:17] Emi**
But what are we supposed to do?
**[14:19] Shuka**
Don't we know anyone here?
**[14:21] Emi**
Well, we're in the future now.
**[14:24] Emi**
And I have no clue what's going on now.
**[14:27] Shuka**
I see.
**[14:35] Jammer Ibuki**
I don't need this junk!
**[14:40] Jammer Ibuki**
Jammer, jammer.
**[14:44] Jammer Ibuki**
Jammer, jammer, jammer...
**[14:45] Emi**
Something about that man...
**[14:46] Shuka**
Yeah, he's suspicious.
**[14:53] Shuka**
Ugh! What kind of jerk
would throw cards in the trash?!
**[14:57] Emi**
Maybe he did it by accident?
**[14:59] Emi**
I'll go return them!
**[15:02] Shuka**
Emi!
**[15:04] Jammer Ibuki**
Jam-jam-jam-jam-jam...
**[15:13] Ibuki**
Where am I?
**[15:15] Ibuki**
Is this really the future?
**[15:17] Ibuki**
Nuts! I really am in the future?!
**[15:20] Emi**
There he is!
**[15:21] Shuka**
Be careful, Emi!
**[15:23] Jammer Ibuki**
Jam-jam, jam-jam...
**[15:31] Jammer Ibuki**
Jammer!
**[15:32] Jammer Ibuki**
Jammer jam-jam-jam!
**[15:38] Ibuki**
If this is the future,
then is what that girl said true?
**[15:42] Ibuki**
The only way I can get home is by putting
a deck into a middle schooler's shoe cupboard?
**[15:47] Ibuki**
What a pain...
**[15:49] Emi**
Please wait!
**[15:56] Shuka**
Are you okay, Emi?!
**[15:58] Ibuki**
What?! Need something from me?!
**[16:01] Emi**
Um...
**[16:02] Shuka**
You threw this in the trash can back there!
**[16:08] Ibuki**
That?
**[16:09] Ibuki**
Wait! I still don't get what this is about!
**[16:12] Ibuki**
Where's the deck?!
**[16:16] Nome**
It's not here.
**[16:18] Nome**
What you need is in the future.
**[16:20] Ibuki**
In the future?!
**[16:24] Ibuki**
I see, so that's the deck.
**[16:27] Ibuki**
Hey! Give it to me!
**[16:30] Shuka**
After you threw it away?!
**[16:32] Ibuki**
I don't know what you mean,
but if I tossed it, then give it back!
**[16:35] Shuka**
Since you threw it away,
I'm under no obligation to return it.
**[16:38] Shuka**
And I don't want to return cards
to someone who abandoned them.
**[16:43] Emi**
Shuka, that's going a bit too far...
**[16:44] Shuka**
Only what he deserves!
**[16:46] Shuka**
Let's go, Emi!
**[16:47] Ibuki**
Weren't you going to give it back?!
**[16:49] Ibuki**
Give it! There'll be trouble if you don't!
**[16:53] Shuka**
Officer, this guy's a pervert!
**[16:56] Emi**
Shuka, that's what's called a false accusation!
**[16:59] Ibuki**
I've had it up to here with you!
**[17:01] Emi**
W-Wait a minute!
**[17:05] Emi**
I want to ask him something.
**[17:09] Shuka**
Okay.
**[17:12] Ibuki**
Okay, now give me that deck.
**[17:14] Emi**
Why did you throw away the cards to begin with?
**[17:17] Ibuki**
I didn't throw away any cards!
**[17:23] Shuka**
Claiming he didn't throw them away!
**[17:25] Shuka**
A liar like him won't do us any good.
**[17:27] Emi**
Lying is wrong, but so is sudden violence!
**[17:30] Emi**
Not to mention hitting him
with my precious binder!
**[17:33] Shuka**
Oh, that's right.
**[17:37] Ibuki**
Your binder's more precious than my head?!
**[17:40] Shuka**
Huh? He isn't transforming into a Jammer.
**[17:43] Emi**
See, Shuka? I don't think he's one of them.
**[17:47] Ibuki**
What do mean, "Jammer"?!
**[17:48] Ibuki**
Even if you're just kids,
I'm done holding back!
**[17:56] Shuka**
What should we do?!
**[17:57] Shuka**
Are you sure he's not a Jammer?
**[18:01] Ibuki**
You're both suckers!
**[18:03] Ibuki**
I've got the deck now!
**[18:04] Emi**
So you are...
**[18:06] Shuka**
...a Jammer, after all!
**[18:07] Ibuki**
Call me whatever you like!
**[18:09] Ibuki**
I'm gonna pop this deck into that
shoe cupboard, and go back to my own world!
**[18:13] The Two**
Hold it right there!
**[18:15] Ibuki**
I'll leave this crummy world in the dust!
**[18:18] The Two**
Get back here!
**[18:21] Girl 2**
There's trash in Chrono's shoe cupboard again!
**[18:24] Guy 3**
He must've picked a fight again,
and so this is the payback.
**[18:32] Ibuki**
Looks like I managed to lose them.
**[18:34] Ibuki**
At any rate, this deck...
**[18:37] Ibuki**
"Gear Chronicle"?
**[18:38] Ibuki**
Never seen this before.
**[18:40] Ibuki**
That reminds me.
They said I threw it away.
**[18:44] Jammers**
Jam-jam-jammer...
**[18:45] Ibuki**
Who're you guys?
**[18:47] Jammers**
Jam-jam-jammer...
**[18:48] Ibuki**
I see. It seems the evil thugs have shown up.
**[18:53] Jammers**
Jam-jam-jammer...
**[18:56] Jammer Ibuki**
Jam-jam-jammer...
**[18:59] Ibuki**
Me? Is this how I look in the future?
**[19:04] Jammer Ibuki**
Are you me?
**[19:06] Ibuki**
Yeah, that's right.
**[19:07] Ibuki**
I came to deliver this.
**[19:10] Jammer Ibuki**
Jam-jam-jammer.
**[19:11] Jammer Ibuki**
After I threw the deck away,
why did you have to retrieve it?
**[19:15] Jammer Ibuki**
Looks like the real one has
arrived from the Outside World.
**[19:20] Ibuki**
Real one? I see.
**[19:23] Ibuki**
In that case, you're just a cheap copy, huh?
**[19:26] Ibuki**
That mark on your forehead is too obvious.
**[19:30] Ibuki**
And what's with your face? You even look evil.
**[19:34] Shuka**
I dunno about that.
**[19:36] Emi**
He doesn't look that different from the real one.
**[19:39] Ibuki**
When did you two get here?!
**[19:41] Ibuki**
Darn it! The honesty of brats ticks me off.
**[19:44] Emi**
Sorry for suspecting you earlier!
**[19:47] Shuka**
Yeah, but he's got that menacing look!
**[19:49] Emi**
Shuka, you're honest to a fault!
**[19:51] Ibuki**
If you two are gonna diss me when I'm
right here, at least keep it to a whisper!
**[19:56] Ibuki**
And what was that "Jammer" thing
you kept going on about?!
**[20:01] Emi**
Let me explain!
**[20:02] Emi**
They're bad guys who interfere
whenever we try to fix history!
**[20:06] Shuka**
That's right! Bad guys!
**[20:09] Ibuki**
Fix history?! Just who are you two?!
**[20:13] Shuka**
Go on, tell him!
**[20:14] Emi**
Well, uh...
**[20:16] Emi**
I'm a newbie magical girl...
**[20:19] Shuka**
...and I'm Emi's fairy servant!
**[20:22] Ibuki**
Oh... now I'm sorry I asked.
**[20:25] Shuka**
Huh? He doesn't believe us.
**[20:28] Emi**
Can you blame him?
**[20:29] Shuka**
Emi, show him the you-know-what!
**[20:31] Emi**
Right!
**[20:32] Emi**
All right! Come, Blaster Rod!
**[20:39] Jammer Ibuki**
You must be the...
**[20:41] Jammer Ibuki**
Jam-jam-jammer!
**[20:43] Jammer Ibuki**
Magical girl, do you intend to
bring this world to ruin, as well?!
**[20:48] Jammer Ibuki**
Jammer, jammer, jammer, jammer!
**[20:53] Jammer Ibuki**
Jam-jam-jammer!
**[20:55] Ibuki**
I see. So this kind of thing is possible here?
**[20:59] Ibuki**
Aha, so even if you transform,
that part stays the same?
**[21:03] Emi**
Please be careful! They're very strong!
**[21:07] Ibuki**
Interesting.
**[21:08] Ibuki**
So we'll get somewhere
by taking them out, right?
**[21:11] Ibuki**
Getting to fight units directly
is the greatest of honors!
**[21:15] Shuka**
You seem really into this,
but are you sure you'll be okay?
**[21:17] Ibuki**
I just wanna get this
over with so I can go home!
**[21:21] Emi**
You have a menacing glare,
but you're actually a good person!
**[21:23] Shuka**
There, Emi! You've noticed
the menacing look in his eyes too!
**[21:26] Emi**
Uh oh!
**[21:27] Ibuki**
Look, you two...!
**[21:29] Shuka**
So he's the kind of person who acts
like a jerk while hiding his true self?
**[21:35] Emi**
Wow, I had no idea!
**[21:37] Ibuki**
Every comment out of their mouths is
like a dart hitting the bullseye each time...
**[21:41] Ibuki**
But I'll just ignore their drivel for now.
**[21:43] Ibuki**
All right! It's a Vanguard showdown!
**[21:55] Ibuki**
Why, you...
**[21:56] Ibuki**
But we're supposed to decide
who wins with a Cardfight!
**[22:01] Emi**
Please think about this rationally!
**[22:04] Emi**
Cardfighting against bad guys?!
**[22:06] Shuka**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[22:11] Ibuki**
Say what?!
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Royal Paladin's
Aerial Divine Knight, Altmile!
**[23:53] Narrator**
By paying the cost,
**[23:54] Narrator**
you can call up to one grade 2 unit each
from your deck and your Drop Zone!
**[23:59] Narrator**
Also, with its skill, if you have
no face-up cards in your Damage Zone,
**[24:02] Narrator**
the power and shield of all of
your grade 2 units get a major increase!
**[24:05] Narrator**
Overcome adversity with your comrades
under the guidance of a proud, heroic knight!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Ibuki**
My name is Kouji Ibuki.
**[24:18] Ibuki**
After being sucked into a weird book,
I ended up in the future in an alternate world.
**[24:21] Ibuki**
There's a pale imitation of myself,
**[24:22] Ibuki**
and two kids who claim to be
a magical girl and a fairy, respectively,
**[24:25] Ibuki**
but the real trouble is full-sized,
living and breathing Vanguard units.
**[24:28] Ibuki**
Furthermore, what kind of world
doesn't play by the rules of Vanguard fights?!
**[24:32] Ibuki**
Who signed off on this world's setting?!
**[24:33] Voice**
Jammer, jammer, jammer...
**[24:36] Ibuki**
Wait, you're...
**[24:37] Voice**
That's right. I'm this show's--
***SIGN*** Episode 2

No, don't say it!
The show itself will be warped!

**[00:01] Shuka**
What's he even doing?
**[00:02] Emi**
Um, that kind of thing doesn't work here.
**[00:07] Ibuki**
You could've told me that earlier!
**[00:09] Ibuki**
Also, you mention it nonchalantly,
but not being able to do this is a big deal!
**[00:15] Shuka**
He lost his temper.
**[00:17] Shuka**
It's kind of late in the day to ask this,
but could you be from the Outside World?
**[00:21] Ibuki**
"Outside World"?
**[00:22] Shuka**
Ay-yi-yi. He doesn't know anything...
**[00:25] Emi**
Either way, we have to defeat that Jammer!
**[00:28] Shuka**
You're right! We don't have time to
talk to this sinister-looking old guy!
**[00:32] Ibuki**
In a situation like this, I doubt
it's a matter of having time or not.
**[00:37] Ibuki**
And I'm not old!
**[00:38] Ibuki**
Two girls and me.
If this is a physical showdown,
**[00:41] Ibuki**
then it's like an impossible video game,
based on that thing's size alone.
**[00:45] Shuka**
At a time like this...
**[00:47] Emi**
Um... Leave it to us!
**[00:51] Ibuki**
And what can you two do?!
**[00:53] Shuka**
What are you embarrassed for, Emi?
**[00:55] Emi**
But this will be our first time

**[00:59] Shuka**
I love that about you, Emi!
**[01:02] Emi**
Hmph! Let's just do it!
**[01:17] The Two**
The Blaster Pair is here!
***SIGN*** if 2
Battles in -if- use Magic?!
**[03:04] Ibuki**
All I can do is laugh.
**[03:06] Emi**
I'm sorry.
**[03:07] Emi**
This must be very confusing for you,
but we'll explain later!
**[03:10] Greion**
Jam-jam-jammer!
**[03:17] Ibuki**
I can't return things to normal
without being put through the wringer?!
**[03:26] Emi**
Elemental Calling!
**[03:29] Emi**
Realize!
**[03:32] Emi**
We need you, Blaster Blade!
**[03:43] Ibuki**
What is this?
**[03:44] Greion**
Jammer!
**[03:57] Ibuki**
Even Blaster Blade showed up.
**[03:59] Ibuki**
Well, after seeing Greion,
it's less of a surprise.
**[04:05] Greion**
Jammer!
**[04:10] Greion**
Jammer!
**[04:18] Shuka**
He's still injured from the last fight.
**[04:21] Emi**
Sorry, Blaster Blade...
**[04:23] Emi**
We pushed you too hard
in that battle against Aichi.
**[04:25] Ibuki**
Against Aichi?
**[04:27] Ibuki**
Blaster Blade fought Aichi Sendou?!
**[04:32] Emi**
Do you know Aichi, mister?
**[04:35] Ibuki**
Stop treating me like I'm middle-aged...
**[04:38] Ibuki**
My name is Kouji Ibuki.
**[04:40] Ibuki**
But we're talking about Aichi Sendou.
**[04:42] Ibuki**
He's pretty famous, right?
**[04:44] Ibuki**
He was the Asia Circuit champion
and won at the Vanguard Koshien.
**[04:49] Shuka**
You hear that, Emi?!
**[04:52] Emi**
I see...
**[04:56] Emi**
Then it's true.
**[04:58] Shuka**
Yeah!
**[05:01] Ibuki**
What's your relationship to Sendou?
**[05:03] Emi**
I'm Aichi Sendou's younger sister, Emi!
**[05:06] Ibuki**
Sendou's younger sister...
**[05:10] Ibuki**
A third time?!
**[05:14] Emi**
Shuka, the next card!
**[05:17] Shuka**
Um, which one...?
**[05:21] Greion**
Jammer!
**[05:23] Greion**
Jammer! Jammer!
**[05:39] Shuka**
I'm borrowing this!
**[05:48] Shuka**
There!
**[05:54] Shuka**
It's beautiful!
**[05:58] Shuka**
Here, Emi!
**[06:00] Shuka**
This week's final card!
**[06:03] Emi**
Elemental Calling!
**[06:06] Emi**
Realize!
**[06:15] Ibuki**
I've never seen that unit before.
**[06:17] Ibuki**
Is it strong?
**[06:29] Greion**
Jammer?
**[06:35] Greion**
Jammer!
**[06:42] Greion**
Jammer jammer, jammer!
**[07:04] Greion**
Jam-jam-jammer!
**[07:07] Greion**
Jam... jam... jam...
**[07:20] Greion**
JAMMERRR!
**[07:22] Shuka**
Now!
**[07:23] Shuka**
Go, Chronojet Dragon!
**[07:31] Greion**
Jam--
**[07:56] Ibuki**
Did I even need to be here?
**[07:59] Ibuki**
It's no use. I don't have even the
slightest idea what any of this is about.
**[08:08] Ibuki**
I-Is that me?!
**[08:10] Emi**
This is the right Ibuki.
**[08:14] Ibuki**
The "right" one? What do you mean by that?
**[08:17] Emi**
By "the right one," I guess I mean the Ibuki
who isn't possessed by a Jammer in this world.
**[08:24] Shuka**
Yes, that's exactly right.
**[08:27] Shuka**
You must have come from
the Outside World, after all.
**[08:29] Ibuki**
You keep saying "Outside World"!
What is this "Outside World"?!
**[08:33] Ibuki**
I mean, I've got a lot more questions.
**[08:36] Emi**
Um... How should I put it?
**[08:40] Shuka**
First, though, who are you?
**[08:44] Ibuki**
I'm an acquaintance of her big brother.
**[08:48] Shuka**
Do you know him, Emi?
**[08:50] Emi**
I can't say I do.
**[08:52] Ibuki**
Well, whatever. Can you just
explain what all of this is about?
**[08:56] Ibuki**
This situation...
**[09:02] Ibuki**
Am I coming to?
**[09:04] Ibuki**
Hey, you! I mean, me!
**[09:06] Ibuki**
I mean--wait, that doesn't matter!
**[09:09] Ibuki**
Just what's going on with this world?!
**[09:15] Ibuki**
I'm fading away!
**[09:17] Ibuki**
What the heck is this?!
**[09:17] Shuka**
I don't get it.
**[09:19] Emi**
Um, Ibuki... Let's just say,
it was good working with you.
**[09:24] Ibuki**
But if I don't deliver that deck...
**[09:27] Emi**
Deck?
**[09:29] Ibuki**
Deliver the deck!
**[09:31] Shuka**
This deck...?
**[09:36] Shuka**
He vanished.
**[09:37] Emi**
Yeah.
**[09:41] Future Ibuki**
Where am I...?
**[09:44] Emi**
U-Um...
**[09:46] Future Ibuki**
That's right! The deck!
**[09:49] Future Ibuki**
It's gone!
**[09:51] Shuka**
Um, is this it?
**[09:54] Future Ibuki**
Yes. I have to deliver it.
**[10:02] Emi**
Good. It looks like he's back
to being the normal Ibuki.
**[10:05] Shuka**
But where's he gonna deliver it?
**[10:21] Emi**
Will that do it?
**[10:22] Shuka**
Yeah.
**[10:23] Shuka**
The Ibuki who disappeared also said
he wanted to deliver that deck.
**[10:28] Emi**
You're right. It'll be fine, probably.
**[10:52] Shuka**
It's just a few of them, but now
more stars are back to normal!
**[10:55] Emi**
Yay!
**[10:58] Shuka**
Once again...
**[10:59] Emi**
...history has been...
**[11:01] The Two**
...corrected!
**[11:04] Shuka**
I hope these stars get lined up nicely soon.
**[11:07] Emi**
Yeah, me too.
**[11:08] Emi**
It seems what you told me
was true, Shuka!
**[11:12] Shuka**
I know, right?
**[11:14] Emi**
Aichi loves Vanguard!
**[11:16] Shuka**
Right!
**[11:17] Emi**
Aichi has a wonderful smile!
**[11:19] Shuka**
Uh huh!
**[11:21] Emi**
We'll get Aichi out of that castle!
**[11:24] Shuka**
Yep!
**[11:25] Emi**
But the ending isn't in sight yet...
**[11:28] Shuka**
I'm sure it'll end eventually,
**[11:30] Shuka**
when the stars are shining most beautifully!
**[11:33] Emi**
You're right.
**[11:51] Ibuki**
Ow!
**[11:53] Suiko**
These abrasions... What in
heaven's name were you doing?
**[11:58] Ibuki**
You probably won't believe this, but...
**[12:02] Ibuki**
...I fought Greion, the Vanguard unit!
**[12:07] Suiko**
That's a really dumb joke.
**[12:12] Ibuki**
Why does this only happen to me?!
**[12:15] Suiko**
Don't ask me.
**[12:17] Suiko**
But your mistake is what started all this.
**[12:20] Suiko**
So this is what you get.
**[12:22] Ibuki**
I'm not taking responsibility for
a mistake I don't remember making!
**[12:26] Suiko**
Just like a man to say that
to excuse his amnesiac self.
**[12:31] Ibuki**
I can't be blamed for
something I can't remember!
**[12:35] Suiko**
Well, I'm glad you made it back.
**[12:38] Suiko**
You fixed your mistake, didn't you?
**[12:41] Ibuki**
No. I didn't put the deck
in that shoe cupboard.
**[12:46] Ibuki**
Was it still okay?
**[12:48] Suiko**
When the consciousnesses of
two versions of the same person make contact,
**[12:52] Suiko**
it produces a paradox.
**[12:53] Suiko**
That's why, the moment
your future self woke up,
**[12:56] Suiko**
you were bounced out of that world
and returned to this one.
**[13:02] Ibuki**
As if I'd know the rules!
**[13:04] Ibuki**
And that explained nothing.
**[13:08] Suiko**
They're the universal rules of time.
**[13:10] Suiko**
Didn't you know?
**[13:11] Ibuki**
I don't know anything.
**[13:13] Ibuki**
I haven't been given
one solid detail to go on here.
**[13:17] Ibuki**
Oh, that's right.
**[13:18] Ibuki**
I met Sendou's little sister in that world.
**[13:22] Suiko**
Aichi Sendou's sister?
**[13:24] Ibuki**
I never imagined anything like that happening.
**[13:29] Suiko**
Did you meet Aichi Sendou, too?
**[13:33] Ibuki**
No, just his sister.
**[13:35] Ibuki**
And... no, you'd never believe me if I told you.
**[13:40] Ibuki**
Never...
**[13:42] Suiko**
What is it? Tell me.
**[13:44] Ibuki**
His sister transformed...
**[13:48] Ibuki**
No, that must've been a nightmare, too.
**[13:51] Suiko**
What do you mean, "transformed"?
**[13:53] Ibuki**
Enough. Let it go.
**[13:56] Ibuki**
My memory's playing tricks on me.
**[13:59] Ibuki**
So in the end, I didn't do anything
over there. Are you sure it's okay?
**[14:04] Suiko**
Yes, probably.
**[14:06] Ibuki**
How would you know?
**[14:08] Suiko**
A page from the Akashic Book that
had been sealed off is now available.
**[14:12] Suiko**
The book Nome is in charge of.
**[14:15] Ibuki**
So since he can open to that page, it went well?
**[14:19] Suiko**
If you comprehend that, good.
**[14:22] Nome**
Welcome back.
**[14:24] Nome**
It seems to have worked out, one way or another.
**[14:26] Nome**
How was it over there?
**[14:30] Ibuki**
I came back without anything accomplished.
**[14:33] Nome**
Just as I expected.
**[14:35] Ibuki**
I don't want anything more to do with this.
**[14:39] Nome**
You wish to quit? You're welcome to.
**[14:55] Ibuki**
I can still see it!
**[14:56] Nome**
That's too bad.
**[14:58] Nome**
It seems history still needs you.
**[15:02] Ibuki**
So the nightmares won't go away...
**[15:05] Nome**
That's correct.
**[15:07] Nome**
Oh, that's right.
**[15:08] Nome**
The deck was safely delivered to a certain boy.
**[15:12] Nome**
It would be nice if that
sparks his interest in cardfighting.
**[15:17] Ibuki**
I don't care either way!
**[15:19] Nome**
Oh, really?
**[15:21] Nome**
In the future, you may
become friends through cards.
**[15:26] Ibuki**
I'm not becoming friends with anyone!
**[15:28] Ibuki**
And even if we did become friends...
**[15:31] Ibuki**
...I would never tell him my name!
**[15:38] Nome**
Tea, please.
**[15:46] Shuka**
Let's dig in!
**[15:48] Shuka**
This is the best part of finishing a job!
**[15:50] Emi**
Be careful that you don't overeat, Shuka.
**[15:54] Shuka**
Yes, I know.
**[15:55] Shuka**
I assure you, I'm well aware of that!
**[16:07] Shuka**
The castle is fading away!
**[16:08] Emi**
Then Aichi will...
**[16:16] Shuka**
Not again...
**[16:18] Emi**
So he hasn't gone back to normal yet...
**[16:22] Shuka**
Still, we've never seen
such a major fluctuation before!
**[16:26] Emi**
I hope it's a good sign.
**[16:33] Shuka**
Emi!
**[16:35] Shuka**
Here!
**[16:38] Shuka**
Let's do our best for your big brother's sake!
**[16:42] Emi**
Yeah!
**[16:50] Ibuki**
Anyway, what was that about?
**[16:53] Ibuki**
Sendou's sister and her companion.
**[16:55] Ibuki**
And their actions...
**[16:57] Ibuki**
A mage and a fairy?
**[17:00] Ibuki**
Give me a break!
**[17:01] Ibuki**
And worse, a world where
Vanguard doesn't resolve anything?!
**[17:05] Ibuki**
I don't like it. I don't like any of it.
**[17:15] Nome**
It went well this time.
**[17:17] Suiko**
Yes.
**[17:18] Nome**
But it's only just begun.
**[17:20] Suiko**
True.
**[17:22] Suiko**
Um...
**[17:24] Suiko**
There's one thing that bothers me.
**[17:26] Nome**
What is it?
**[17:28] Suiko**
He said he met someone over there.
**[17:31] Suiko**
Aichi Sendou's sister.
**[17:34] Nome**
I see.
**[17:37] Nome**
He met her right off the bat, eh?
**[17:42] Nome**
It may get a little busier around here.
**[17:46] Nome**
Suiko, would you bring me that book?
**[17:51] Suiko**
Here you are.
**[17:55] Nome**
As I suspected...
**[17:56] Suiko**
Is something wrong?
**[17:58] Nome**
Something very troubling.
**[18:01] Nome**
There are even more pages I'm unable to turn to.
**[18:04] Suiko**
Shall I summon him back?
**[18:07] Nome**
No.
**[18:09] Nome**
We'd best let him get a good night's sleep,
with some pleasant dreams.
**[18:21] Nome**
As one distortion is fixed...
**[18:28] Shuka**
It split off again here.
**[18:32] Nome**
...another distortion appears.
**[18:36] Nome**
However many minor distortions arise,
**[18:39] Nome**
only a few will be of consequence.
**[18:56] Emi**
Stars appear and disappear.
**[19:00] Shuka**
But it's not like all the stars
are going to disappear, right?
**[19:04] Shuka**
It's the stars that burned the brightest
that burn out, only to become shadows.
**[19:22] Nome**
Finding major distortions and
watching over minor sequences.
**[19:28] Nome**
For as long as my time allows...
**[19:48] Ibuki**
I get the feeling I'm in for
another nightmare tonight.
**[19:51] Ibuki**
That reminds me. That castle...
**[19:55] Ibuki**
They called it Sanctuary.
**[19:59] Ibuki**
Sendou is in there.
**[20:02] Ibuki**
Then I guess I'll try to
pay him a visit tomorrow.
**[20:11] Suiko**
You got in without a fuss this time.
**[20:17] Suiko**
I suspect you know this already,
but Nome has another job for you.
**[20:29] Suiko**
We've arrived, Nome.
**[20:36] Suiko**
Nome?
**[20:41] Suiko**
Nome!
**[20:53] Suiko**
That's...
**[20:54] Suiko**
...the Akashic Book.
**[20:56] Ibuki**
The one you said Nome was in charge of, right?
**[20:59] Ibuki**
So where did he go?
**[21:01] Ibuki**
On a convenience store run?
**[21:05] Ibuki**
I can see it crystal-clear today.
**[21:21] Ibuki**
Darn it!
**[21:47] Suiko**
What happened?
**[21:48] Ibuki**
Looks like I've been taken somewhere
against my will, yet again.
**[21:53] Ibuki**
What's wrong?

**[23:59] Narrator**
Ahsha's Flower Fairy is a special token
sharing the same name as your Vanguard, "Ahsha",

and so its power and number of criticals
also match the Vanguard's!

I ended up in the past in an alternate world.
**[24:19] Ibuki**
Just what does ULTRARARE
have to do with historical distortions?!
**[24:23] Suiko**
It's important!
**[24:24] Ibuki**
Well, well, Suiko.
**[24:25] Ibuki**
It looks like you're not
a successful idol in this world.
**[24:28] Suiko**
You do realize that there are
other spheres in which I can succeed,
**[24:30] Suiko**
even outside the entertainment industry?
**[24:32] Ibuki**
Is that a roundabout way of admitting
that being an idol is a stretch for you?
**[24:35] Suiko**
You try shaking your booty on a huge stage
while the crowd screams, "Take it off!"

**[00:02] Shuka**
I can smell it. The distortion is this way!
**[00:05] Shuka**
It's coming from this area.
**[00:07] Emi**
This time for sure, I'll get Aichi back.
**[00:12] Emi**
An ULTRARARE CD!
**[00:15] Shuka**
Emi, don't get distracted along the way!
**[00:18] Emi**
It's just, ULTRARARE is an idol unit
with a cult following.
**[00:23] Emi**
They're very talented, but just
can't seem to get a foothold.
**[00:26] Emi**
They released this limited edition
album a long time ago.
**[00:30] Emi**
This is Rekka.
**[00:32] Emi**
This is Kourin.
**[00:34] Emi**
And this is...
**[00:36] Shuka**
It's distorted.
**[00:39] Shuka**
The distortion! This is where
the world got distorted!

**[02:28] Ibuki**
The distortion associated with my
future self was supposed to be corrected.
**[02:37] Ibuki**
So why hasn't that disappeared?
**[02:40] Ibuki**
Why can't I go home?
**[02:44] Suiko**
This world resembles ours, but...
**[02:49] Suiko**
...it's a parallel world.
**[02:52] Suiko**
Nome... What are we supposed to do here?
**[03:21] Ibuki**
Hey! What's going on here?!
**[03:24] Suiko**
I don't know!
**[03:25] Suiko**
All of a sudden, the Akashic Book...
**[03:28] Ibuki**
Doesn't it mean we can return to our own world?!
**[03:43] Suiko**
Get off of me!
**[03:48] Suiko**
You don't have permission
to touch a top idol!
**[03:53] Ibuki**
I highly doubt a real top idol
would refer to herself as a "top idol."
**[03:59] Ibuki**
Anyway, we should be back in our own world...

**[04:09] Ibuki**
The history we know is distorted in this world.
**[04:15] Suiko**
So it seems.
**[04:17] Ibuki**
The nexus of this distortion is...
**[04:27] Suiko**
Nome called it "Sanctuary."
**[04:32] Ibuki**
Then the greatest distortion is the master
of the castle... Aichi Sendou.
**[04:41] Ibuki**
If we take him down, this will all be over.
**[04:47] Ibuki**
Aichi Sendou!
**[04:49] Ibuki**
I challenge you to a game of Vanguard!
**[04:53] Ibuki**
If I win, you go straight home and return
to your normal undependable self!
**[05:07] Ibuki**
Y-You'll regret that later, Aichi Sendou!
**[05:12] Suiko**
According to Nome, the Aichi of this world
is completely different from the Aichi we know.
**[05:19] Ibuki**
No way! There's just no way!
**[05:22] Ibuki**
Never mind his family!
**[05:24] Ibuki**
I can't let Kai see Sendou being this...
**[05:27] Ibuki**
Ow-ow-ow!
**[05:29] Suiko**
Wingal!
**[05:31] Suiko**
That was one of Aichi's favorite units.
**[05:35] Suiko**
It's all right. See, it doesn't hurt.
**[05:38] Ibuki**
It sure as heck does!
**[05:40] Ibuki**
Ow!
**[05:45] Suiko**
Wingal...
**[05:47] Suiko**
It's like it's still being
Aichi's rear-guard, even now.

That's recent.

Oh, the Jammer!

Who are you calling a Jammer?!

Oh hey, Sendou's little sister.
So you're here too, huh?
**[06:20] Suiko**
Emi Sendou, right?
**[06:22] Suiko**
We've met briefly before.
**[06:26] Ibuki**
Hey, I know you can't tell
because she doesn't have her aura on,
**[06:30] Ibuki**
but this is one of the official supporting idols
of the Vanguard Koshien!
**[06:35] Emi**
But the official supporters are...
**[06:40] Arte**
Everybody! Are you ready for more Vanguarding?!
**[06:45] The Five**
We're JalgoJavis!
**[06:48] Arte**
JalgoJavis has been appointed the official
supporting idols of the first Vanguard Koshien!
**[07:00] Suiko**
It can't be! ULTRARARE was
the official idol group!
**[07:04] Shuka**
ULTRARARE? The ones from that CD?
**[07:08] Emi**
Maybe they're not really that major.
**[07:11] Suiko**
What are you talking about?!
**[07:14] Ibuki**
So that's how it is.
**[07:23] Ibuki**
I found you, Jammers!
**[07:25] Arte**
Ja...? Right!
**[07:28] The Five**
We're JalgoJavis!
**[07:30] Ibuki**
Whatever! I challenge you!
**[07:33] Arte**
Thank you, everyone!
**[07:37] Arte**
Thank you!
**[07:44] Suiko**
It seems exposing them will be difficult.
**[07:47] Shuka**
They're not Jammers.
**[07:52] Ibuki**
Tell me these things sooner!
**[07:53] Ibuki**
Then...
**[07:55] Emi**
The distortion... may be ULTRARARE.
**[08:04] Suiko**
ULTRARARE is Rekka Tatsunagi,
Kourin Tatsunagi...
**[08:08] Suiko**
...and me, Suiko Tatsunagi.
We're a three-member idol group.
**[08:12] Ibuki**
You had tremendous popularity as
the idols who could also play Vanguard.
**[08:17] Ibuki**
In our world, at least.
**[08:19] [SONG] D ULTRARARE**
Dreams come one after another
**[08:22] [SONG] D ULTRARARE**
In a momentary rush
**[08:24] [SONG] D ULTRARARE**
You know that feeling too, don't you?
**[08:28] [SONG] D ULTRARARE**
Stand up!
**[08:29] [SONG] D ULTRARARE**
Our reasons for fighting
**[08:31] [SONG] D ULTRARARE**
May all be different
**[08:34] [SONG] D ULTRARARE**
But we feel the same passion
**[08:37] Suiko**
They're the epitome of idols on the brink.
**[08:38] [SONG] D ULTRARARE**
Sometimes the more I care, the more it hurts
**[08:40] Shuka**
They're called "mantle idols," for being
even lower than underground idols.
**[08:43] [SONG] D ULTRARARE**
But as long as there's a bond in my heart
**[08:44] Emi**
Mantle?! That must mean
they're nearly core idols! So cool!
**[08:48] [SONG] D ULTRARARE**
I won't be afraid to move forward
**[08:49] Suiko**
I doubt it...
**[08:50] [SONG] D ULTRARARE**
Shining Brave!
**[08:51] [SONG] D ULTRARARE**
We'll race towards uncharted territory
**[08:56] [SONG] D ULTRARARE**
Even if the truth is cruel
**[08:59] Ibuki**
The center one...
**[09:00] [SONG] D ULTRARARE**
As long as I'm with friends I can be myself around
**[09:00] Ibuki**
That old lady, Esuka Hibino... who's she?
**[09:04] Emi**
Esuka isn't old!
**[09:05] [SONG] D ULTRARARE**
We Can Fly!
**[09:06] [SONG] D ULTRARARE**
Shining in the sky called fate
**[09:10] [SONG] D ULTRARARE**
True Blaze!
**[09:11] [SONG] D ULTRARARE**
Releasing burning dreams of hope!
**[09:21] Suiko**
The Esuka Hibino I know
is a former swimsuit model
**[09:26] Suiko**
who then found success as the owner
of a chain of Vanguard shops.
**[09:30] Suiko**
Currently, she's expanding operations abroad.
**[09:34] Suiko**
By the time we became idols,
she had already retired.
**[09:36] Esuka**
Thank you!
**[09:37] Esuka**
Bye bye!
**[09:39] Emi**
Um...
**[09:40] Emi**
Esuka has always been a member of ULTRARARE.
**[09:44] Suiko**
In this world...
**[09:47] Suiko**
Is that what it is?
**[09:49] Shuka**
That's the distortion point this time.
**[09:53] Suiko**
Distortion...
**[09:54] Suiko**
Then if ULTRARARE returns to its original form,
Aichi will also go back to normal?
**[09:59] Ibuki**
Hey, what's the connection
between Sendou and idols?
**[10:04] Shuka**
It's not like time flows in a straight line
from the past to the future.
**[10:09] Shuka**
Like with pool, one distortion
is connected to the next distortion.
**[10:13] Shuka**
Effects can spread to unexpected places.
**[10:18] Kourin**
Calling on you... Kourin Tatsunagi!
**[10:22] Rekka**
Love-Love Ride... with Rekka Tatsunagi!
**[10:26] Rekka**
Don't call me "little"!
**[10:28] Esuka**
Twinkle-twinkle! I'm soaring down the idol path!
**[10:33] Esuka**
Esuka Hibino!
**[10:36] The Three**
We're ULTRARARE!
**[10:38] Esuka**
At least remember our names before you go!
***SIGN*** Special Price! Limited-time campaign going on now!
**[10:42] The Three**
Thank you for coming today!
**[10:47] Ibuki**
So that old lady is a Jammer, then?
**[10:49] Emi**
Esuka is neither old nor a Jammer!
**[10:56] Rekka**
Wasn't that fun, Kourin?
**[10:59] Rekka**
It was a pretty rare experience...
**[11:01] Rekka**
...as befits ULTRARARE!
**[11:05] Kourin**
But I wanted more people to come see us.
**[11:10] Esuka**
I'm sorry, you two!
**[11:13] Rekka**
Esuka?
**[11:14] Kourin**
What's wrong, Ms. Hibino?
**[11:17] Esuka**
I'm a failure as an idol!
**[11:20] Esuka**
I should have quit long before now!
**[11:23] Esuka**
Instead I clung to you both,
and now I'm dragging you down!
**[11:28] Rekka**
That's not true, Esuka.
**[11:31] Rekka**
If you love being an idol,
then you're never too old for it!
**[11:37] Rekka**
Let's imagine it!
The day we become popular idols!
**[11:41] Esuka**
I'm so sorry!
**[11:44] Esuka**
I'm going home alone today.
***SIGN*** Handmade Soba Now Open
**[11:56] Esuka**
I'm sorry.
**[11:57] Ibuki**
Not at all...
**[12:02] Esuka**
This is Vanguard, isn't it?
**[12:06] Ibuki**
Is that weird?
**[12:09] Ibuki**
Me playing Vanguard?
**[12:14] Esuka**
No. I think it's cool.
**[12:18] Rekka**
Come to think of it, in that last survey...
**[12:23] Kourin**
About the type of guy she likes!
**[12:25] Rekka**
She wrote that his hair should be translucent...
**[12:28] Rekka**
...and he should be the sort who keeps
playing Vanguard even as a grown-up.
**[12:33] Kourin**
Oh my gosh, that guy's right on the nose!
**[12:35] Rekka**
I hope she doesn't pull an abrupt
wedding and retirement combo!
**[12:39] Suiko (TV)**
Do you want to start playing Vanguard?
**[12:41] Suiko (TV)**
Suiko will explain it all, just for you!
**[12:46] Suiko**
If you can imagine it, anything is possible.
**[12:50] Suiko**
In that case...
**[12:53] Ibuki**
So run that by me again.
**[12:56] Shuka**
How many times have we explained it already?!
**[12:59] Emi**
We want you to determine
whether or not Esuka is a Jammer.
**[13:03] Shuka**
Though hard to believe,
it seems that you're her type.
**[13:07] Ibuki**
What's with the disgruntled attitude?
**[13:10] Shuka**
A Jammer always has a distinctive mark
somewhere on their body.
**[13:14] Ibuki**
That backwards "J" thing?
**[13:16] Emi**
Also, Jammers want
to continue revising history,
**[13:19] Emi**
so if you try to steer things back
to the correct history, they'll resist.
**[13:24] The Two**
See you later!
**[13:28] Ibuki**
Sheesh. What do they expect me to do?
**[13:36] Esuka**
Um... You said you had
something to discuss with me...
**[13:40] Ibuki**
You heard that?
**[13:43] Esuka**
What did you want to discuss?
**[13:46] Ibuki (M)**
How am I supposed to search
for the Jammer mark?!
**[13:51] Ibuki (M)**
What's something that I can do?
**[13:55] Ibuki**
D-Do you wanna play Vanguard...
**[13:59] Ibuki**
...maybe?
**[14:08] Ibuki**
Never mind, forget I said that!
**[14:12] Esuka**
No, it's okay!
**[14:13] Esuka**
I feel like the same kind of thing
happened a long time ago!
**[14:18] Esuka**
So if I win, what will you give me?
**[14:27] Ibuki**
Yikes! What is this?!
**[14:33] Esuka**
No! I can't do that!
**[14:36] Esuka**
I have to continue with ULTRARARE!
**[14:39] Esuka**
And then!
**[14:42] Esuka**
ULTRARARE's popularity
will plummet even further...
**[14:46] Esuka**
...and history will distort even more!
**[14:51] Esuka**
Jammer...
**[14:54] Shuka**
She's a Jammer!
**[14:55] Emi**
They were right...
**[14:58] The Two**
IF, stand up!
**[15:02] Emi**
Magical Girl Emi!
**[15:05] Shuka**
Fairy Shuka!
**[15:07] The Two**
Together, we're the Blaster Pair!
**[15:10] The Two**
And now it's our turn!
**[15:16] Emi**
I'm going to bring Aichi back to normal!
**[15:18] Ibuki**
You two get lost!
**[15:21] Ibuki**
Today for sure, we're settling
this with Vanguard...
**[15:24] Esuka**
Jammer!
**[15:27] Shuka**
How many times do I have to tell you?!
**[15:29] Shuka**
We're the only ones who can beat them!
**[15:32] Esuka**
Jammer!
**[15:36] Ibuki**
Great Nature's Isabelle!
**[15:43] Emi**
Elemental Calling!
**[15:47] Emi**
Realize!
**[15:49] Emi**
We need you, Blaster Blade!
**[15:59] Esuka**
Learn well that there is no such thing
as the correct history!
**[16:13] Shuka**
Emi!
**[16:14] Ibuki**
What about units?!
**[16:16] Ibuki**
Don't you have any other cards you can use?!
**[16:21] Shuka**
This is...
**[16:27] Shuka**
This time for sure!
**[16:28] Emi**
Realize!
**[16:37] Ibuki**
Majesty Lord Blaster!
**[16:42] Ibuki**
Suiko Tatsunagi!
**[16:44] Ibuki**
What are you doing?! Defeat the Jammer!
**[16:47] Suiko**
Defeat her?
**[16:49] Ibuki**
While I'm distracting her, you can...
**[16:53] Ibuki**
Hey, are you listening?!
**[16:55] Ibuki**
Are you just gonna stand by and observe?!
**[16:59] Suiko**
That may be my duty as a Tatsunagi.
**[17:02] Ibuki**
What?!
**[17:05] Suiko**
I'm a Tatsunagi.
**[17:07] Suiko**
An observer of the world.
**[17:09] Suiko**
But we mustn't meddle
in the movements of the planets.
**[17:12] Ibuki**
Even with the world messed up,
you're gonna ignore it?!
**[17:16] Suiko**
If it's another possible reality, then...
**[17:18] Emi**
I hate it!
**[17:21] Emi**
I want Aichi to smile like he used to!
**[17:26] Emi**
I hate this Aichi!
**[17:29] Ibuki**
How about you?!
**[17:31] Ibuki**
The Tatsunagi name, your duty...
**[17:34] Ibuki**
Forget about all that!
**[17:36] Ibuki**
How do *you* feel?!
**[17:40] Suiko**
How do I feel?

Dreams come one after another
**[17:45] [SONG] Esuka**

**[19:57] Suiko**

But I want to be Suiko of ULTRARARE.

**[20:06] Emi**
Go, Wingal Brave!
**[20:14] Esuka**
Jammer!
**[20:27] Esuka**
What am I doing?
**[20:32] Esuka**
Even though he's a grown adult,
**[20:36] Esuka**
he's still as wrapped up in Vanguard as ever.
**[20:40] Esuka**
Let's go, Arte.
**[20:42] Esuka**
I have to get back to headquarters in Singapore.
**[20:46] Esuka**
The Esuka Group is going to get even bigger.
**[20:49] Esuka**
Once you graduate from high school,
I want your help too.
**[20:53] Arte**
But I also wanna try putting a band together...
**[21:10] Shuka**
Fixing this distortion still wasn't enough?
**[21:13] Emi**
But I won't give up!
**[21:16] Emi**
I'm going to keep correcting distortions.
**[21:18] Emi**
And I swear I'll turn Aichi back
into the kind brother I know and love.
**[21:28] Ibuki**
Hey!
**[21:30] Suiko**
Those girls are defeating Jammers
in each distorted time period,
**[21:35] Suiko**
while also regathering cards.
**[21:38] Suiko**
They want to use that power to save Aichi.
**[21:41] Suiko**
Yes. That's the kind of format this is.
**[21:46] Ibuki**
What do you mean, "format"?
**[21:49] Suiko**
And we're going to follow those girls.
**[21:54] Suiko**
So we can witness the world's
recovery for ourselves.
**[21:57] Ibuki**
So we're gonna meet them again?
**[22:00] Suiko (M)**
Nome, I'm going to intervene in this world.
**[22:05] Suiko (M)**
Even if it means betraying
my duty as a Tatsunagi.

If it's the Vanguard, your power,
drive checks, and criticals will increase!

On top of that, when it attacks,
**[24:04] Narrator**
putting two rear-guard units into the Soul
will net you two Imaginary Gifts!

This will really let you

you take damage during a Vanguard fight.
**[24:22] Suiko**
In our world, they've been made illegal
and are no longer being sold.
**[24:25] Ibuki**
But the history we know has been distorted,
and new variations on VF Gloves have come out.
**[24:29] Suiko**
VF Socks, VF Belly Band,
and, possibly the worst of all...
**[24:34] Ibuki**
These are called VF Bri--

**[00:02] Ibuki**
My name is Kouji Ibuki.
**[00:04] Ibuki**
Not to brag, but I'm an ace Vanguard fighter.
**[00:09] Ibuki**
I have been left behind with Suiko Tatsunagi,
a woman who's scary when she's angry,
**[00:13] Ibuki**
in a world where Sanctuary exists.
**[00:17] Ibuki**
Worse, we have to travel through time
**[00:18] Ibuki**
along with Aichi Sendou's little sister and
her partner, who transform into magical girls,
**[00:22] Ibuki**
and help them to exorcise Jammers that
cause distortions in different time periods.
**[00:27] Ibuki**
So then, which distortion and time period
are lying in wait for us today?
**[02:10] Ibuki**
There's been nothing else from
the Akashic Book since that day?
**[02:17] Ibuki**
How long are we supposed to live like this?!
**[02:22] Suiko**
Until all of the distortions have
been corrected. You know that.
**[02:28] Ibuki**
How can you be so nonchalant about it?!
**[02:30] Ibuki**
And why on earth is this place such a pigsty?!
**[02:35] Suiko**
Because you don't clean up.
**[02:38] Ibuki**
Me?! It's *my* fault?!
**[02:41] Ibuki**
You haven't done anything to clean up, either!
**[02:44] Suiko**
Do you seriously...
**[02:48] Suiko**
...expect a top idol to act like a maid?
**[02:51] Ibuki**
So cleaning's beneath you,
but not slurping up noodle soup?
**[02:55] Suiko**
Could you pipe down?
**[02:57] Ibuki**
Now what?
**[02:59] Suiko**
Something just occurred to me.
**[03:01] Suiko**
What if the Akashic Book--
**[03:17] Suiko**
Where are we?
**[03:21] Ibuki**
Well? What's the distortion this time?
**[03:23] Suiko**
Isn't searching for distortions *your* job?
**[03:27] Ibuki**
I've been wondering this for a while,
but you don't have any friends, do you?!
**[03:33] Suiko**
More friends than you.

**[04:41] Ibuki**
"Winners get all! Losers get lost!"
**[04:44] Ibuki**
That's the motto they used as they invaded
local shops, trashing the strongest fighters.
**[04:49] Ibuki**
Using those VF Gloves...
**[04:52] Suiko**
VF Gloves aren't a health gimmick?
**[04:56] Ibuki**
When they detect the motion of
placing a card in the Damage Zone,
**[04:59] Ibuki**
they deliver a painful
electric shock... or so I recall.
**[05:03] Suiko**
So that's why we're making
a beeline for Tetsu Shinjou.
**[05:08] Ibuki**
His family's card shop is just up ahead.
**[05:12] Ibuki**
WHAT?!
**[05:15] Bunny Girls**
V-V-V-VF Gloves feel extraordinary!
**[05:19] Girls**
VF Gloves are revolutionary!
**[05:21] Tetsu**
Try them for yourself!
**[05:23] Girls**
Get healthy!
**[05:24] Girls**
V-V-V-VF Gloves!
***SIGN*** Stiff Shoulders, Chills, Dry Skin, Back Pain, Insomnia, Poor Diet, Bad Knees, Dim Eyesight
**[05:26] Tetsu**
Their moderate electric current
stimulates blood circulation,
**[05:28] Tetsu**
solving common health problems
like stiff shoulders, chills, and skin issues.
**[05:36] Shin**
They even cured my lumbago!
***SIGN*** Note: Personal Testimonial
**[05:39] Shin**
Thanks to the gloves, managing the shop
has been a breeze! Even my niece is happy!
**[05:44] Tetsu**
Just call on me! I'll be waiting!
**[05:48] Ibuki**
Come on!
**[05:50] Suiko**
Okay.
**[05:52] Tetsu**
Visitors? Without an appointment?
**[05:59] Tetsu**
You're from ULTRARARE! Um...
**[06:01] Suiko**
S-Suiko Tatsunagi.
**[06:04] Tetsu**
I see. Well, I know just how you feel.
**[06:07] Tetsu**
I'd love to have you perform
in one of our commercials!
**[06:12] Ibuki**
He thinks we're here to
pitch him a business deal.
**[06:15] Tetsu**
And you're her manager?
**[06:18] Ibuki**
Who're you calling a manager?!
**[06:21] Ibuki**
While you may be fabulously wealthy in this
time period, we have to correct the distortion.
**[06:26] Ibuki**
I challenge you to a game of Vanguard!
**[06:28] Ibuki**
You'll fall prey to my Messiah deck!
**[06:31] Tetsu**
Well, before that...
**[06:32] Ibuki**
Hey!
**[06:33] Tetsu**
Please check out this new product
that I'd like Suiko to promote for us!
**[06:38] Tetsu**
Vwish!
**[06:39] Tetsu**
VF Gloves version XI, which come
equipped with a phone and camera!
**[06:44] Suiko/Ibuki**
Oh...
**[06:46] Tetsu**
Well...
**[06:48] Tetsu**
Perhaps I should show you
what's still in the development phase.
**[06:54] Ibuki**
VF Socks?!
**[06:56] Ibuki**
Why did I have to try them on?!
**[06:58] Suiko**
Because you're my manager, of course.
**[07:00] Tetsu**
Here we go.
**[07:04] Ibuki**
They really work!
**[07:06] Ibuki**
A VF Belly Band?!
**[07:09] Tetsu**
Switch on!
**[07:10] Ibuki**
Th-This... is... really...
**[07:15] Tetsu**
But wait, there's more!
**[07:17] Ibuki**
A VF Headband?
**[07:19] Ibuki**
Am I the only one who senses
evil intentions behind this get-up?
**[07:25] Suiko**
It's just your imagination.
**[07:27] Tetsu**
Switch from off to on!
**[07:30] Ibuki**
I'm starting to understand...
why these things are such a hit--
**[07:36] Tetsu**
And my favorite by far!
**[07:38] Tetsu**
VF Briefs!
**[07:40] Ibuki/Suiko**
VF Briefs?!
**[07:42] Tetsu**
Click!
**[07:44] Ibuki**
I-I can see why this one's your favorite!
**[07:47] Suiko**
I don't think I can appear
in a commercial for the briefs.
**[07:51] Tetsu**
Naturally, you'd wear the ladies' version:
**[07:55] Tetsu**
The VF Sexy Swimsuit!
**[08:01] Ibuki**
This isn't what we're here for, Tetsu Shinjou!
**[08:04] Ibuki**
VF Gloves are not for improving your health!
**[08:06] Ibuki**
First of all, "VF" is supposed
to stand for "Vanguard Fighters"!
**[08:11] Tetsu**
Is that right?
**[08:12] Tetsu**
Hang on a moment...
**[08:16] Tetsu**
I just remembered!
**[08:17] Tetsu**
It stands for "Victory Physical"!
**[08:20] Ibuki**
Oh, it does?
**[08:21] Suiko**
"Physical" starts with a "P"!
**[08:26] Ibuki**
You have to remember, Tetsu Shinjou!
**[08:28] Ibuki**
You developed the VF Gloves
for your best friend, Ren Suzugamori!
**[08:34] Tetsu**
Ren Suzugamori?
**[08:37] Ibuki**
Don't you know Ren Suzugamori?
**[08:41] Tetsu**
No. I've never heard that name before.
**[08:45] Tetsu**
My head hurts!
**[08:47] Suiko**
A Jammer might be manipulating his memories.
**[08:51] Tetsu**
I don't feel so good.
**[08:53] Tetsu**
Could you show yourselves out?
**[08:56] Ibuki**
Not so fast!
**[08:58] Ibuki**
I challenge you to a game of Vanguard!
**[08:59] Tetsu**
Vanguard?
**[09:02] Ibuki**
Yes! You're a Vanguard fighter, too...
**[09:07] Tetsu**
Hang on. My dream is to...
make the whole world healthy!
**[09:14] Tetsu**
I'm not a Vanguard fighter!
**[09:16] Ibuki**
What?
**[09:18] Tetsu**
It's time for our visitors to leave.
**[09:23] Ibuki**
Ow!
**[09:25] Bodyguard**
Here, a souvenir!
**[09:30] Ibuki**
I don't need this junk!
**[09:33] Ibuki**
He's not a Vanguard fighter?
**[09:36] Ibuki**
That ticks me off.
**[09:38] Suiko**
Then let's look for them.
**[09:40] Ibuki**
Aichi Sendou's sister and her partner?
**[09:42] Suiko**
Before, even without us arranging to meet them,
they'd show up at the time period we were in.
**[09:49] Ibuki**
Yeah.
**[09:51] Suiko**
Those girls travel to time periods
in which Jammers have distorted history,
**[09:55] Suiko**
so maybe the Akashic Book is sending us
to the same ones, following after them.
**[10:00] Ibuki**
Why do you think that?
**[10:01] Suiko**
Consider us and those girls.
**[10:03] Suiko**
Take away one group,
and the distortion can't be corrected.
**[10:09] Suiko**
If our role is to find the distortions,
then their role is to...
**[10:14] Ibuki**
Exorcise the Jammers?
**[10:16] Suiko**
Yes.
**[10:17] Ibuki**
Well, last time we ran into them by chance,
but there's no guarantee we will this time.
**[10:23] Suiko**
I guess you're right.
**[10:31] Ibuki**
I've got an idea!
***SIGN*** Challenge ULTRARARE's Suiko Tatsunagi with VF Gloves

**[10:50] Suiko**
So I have to put these on and hold
random Vanguard fights in the street?
**[10:54] Suiko**
I've never done marketing this lousy before.
**[10:58] Ibuki**
Shut it! I'd do it myself if I could, but...
**[11:02] Suiko**
You *want* to fight in these gloves?
**[11:04] Ibuki**
That's not the point!
If I were the one fighting...
**[11:08] Ibuki**
...it wouldn't draw this much of a crowd.
**[11:10] Voice**
It's really her!
***SIGN*** Suiko Tatsunagi

**[11:12] Suiko**
Naturally.
**[11:14] Ibuki**
Well, you are a popular idol.
**[11:16] Fan A**
Suiko, please fight me!
**[11:19] Ibuki**
In addition...
**[11:21] Suiko/Fan A**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[11:24] Ibuki**
...it's extremely rare for people in this world
to wear VF Gloves while Cardfighting.
**[11:30] Suiko**
It's pretty rare in our world, too.
**[11:34] Suiko**
I ride!
**[11:35] Suiko**
Marking Celestial, Arabhaki!
**[11:38] Ibuki**
Furthermore, with all these gawkers,
**[11:41] Ibuki**
the fights are sure to end up live-streamed.
**[11:43] Ibuki**
Then exponentially more people will see us.
**[11:47] Ibuki**
I'm betting on Sendou's sister
and her partner being among them.
**[11:52] Fan A**
I attack your Vanguard, Suiko!
**[11:55] Suiko**
No guard.
**[11:56] Suiko**
Damage check.
**[11:58] Suiko**
No trigger.
**[12:04] Tetsu**
What?! My VF Gloves can be used like that?!
**[12:11] Tetsu**
What was that just now?!
**[12:17] Suiko**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[12:20] Fan B**
I lost.
**[12:24] Fan B**
Thank you so much, Suiko...
**[12:30] Suiko**
I won.
**[12:36] Suiko**
VF Gloves and Angel Feather
don't go together well.
**[12:40] Suiko**
Hey, how many fights do I have to do?
**[12:44] Ibuki**
Hmm, strange...
**[12:47] Ibuki**
I assumed they'd have shown up by now...
**[12:50] Shuka**
Aren't the crepes from that place yummy, Emi?
**[12:53] Emi**
They sure are!
**[12:55] Emi**
But since it's gone out of business in
our time period, we can't get them there.
**[13:00] Emi**
I'm so glad we got to travel to this time.
**[13:03] Ibuki**
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait up!
**[13:05] Ibuki**
You were just gonna walk by?!
**[13:07] Emi/Shuka**
Meow!
**[13:08] Song**
V-V-V-VF Gloves!
**[13:11] Emi/Shuka**
There's a Jammer in that building?!
**[13:14] Ibuki**
Yeah. We need your help.
**[13:17] Emi**
Let's do it, Shuka.
**[13:19] Shuka**
Okay, Emi!
**[13:23] Emi**
These people...
**[13:24] Shuka**
...must be the Jammer's lackeys!
**[13:26] Ibuki**
They're not gonna let us in the building?
**[13:28] Tetsu**
That's where you're wrong.
**[13:35] Ibuki**
What are you doing, Tetsu Shinjou?
**[13:38] Shuka**
Outta the way, mutton chops!
**[13:41] Emi**
That wasn't very nice, Shuka.
**[13:44] Emi**
I'm so sorry, mister.
**[13:47] Emi (echo)**
Mister...! Mister...!
**[13:51] Suiko**
He's actually sensitive about that...
**[13:56] Tetsu**
Would you let me participate, as well?
**[13:58] Tetsu**
I'd like to have a Vanguard fight
while wearing the VF Gloves!
**[14:02] Ibuki**
What?
**[14:04] Ibuki**
To think I'd get to hear those words
coming out of your mouth!
**[14:08] Ibuki**
All right! Let's fight!
**[14:10] Tetsu**
Not against you.
**[14:12] Tetsu**
You.
**[14:13] Suiko**
Me?
**[14:15] Tetsu**
Your fights using the VF Gloves
were absolutely breathtaking.
**[14:19] Tetsu**
I had no idea they could be used that way,
and I'm the one who invented them!
**[14:25] Tetsu**
By all means, fight me!
**[14:27] Suiko**
Just what I hoped for!
**[14:28] Ibuki**
Wait! If anyone's gonna fight, it'll be me!
**[14:36] Ibuki**
You're ignoring me?!
**[14:46] Tetsu/Suiko**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[14:49] Suiko**
Rear Impetus Celestial, Armaiti
attacks your Vanguard!
**[14:53] Tetsu**
Damage check!
**[14:55] Tetsu**
No trigger!
**[14:59] Tetsu**
So this is what they do?!
**[15:07] Tetsu**
A-Again...
**[15:10] Tetsu**
Were those my memories?
**[15:13] Ibuki**
Tetsu...
**[15:15] Ibuki**
Wait, is Tetsu himself trying to remember
the memories the Jammer manipulated?!
**[15:21] Ibuki**
Attack! Clinch it this turn!
**[15:24] Suiko**
Don't be absurd!
**[15:25] Suiko**
It's his turn now!
**[15:28] Tetsu**
King of Masks, Dantarian attacks!
**[15:33] Ibuki**
Drat.
**[15:37] Tetsu**
What's wrong? Is it over already?
**[15:41] Suiko**
You wish!
**[15:42] Suiko**
Solidify Celestial, Zerachiel attacks!
**[15:46] Tetsu**
No guard!
**[15:59] Tetsu**
Who was that, just now?!
**[16:04] Ibuki**
That's it! Remember, Tetsu Shinjou!
**[16:06] Ibuki**
Your dream is not
to make the whole world healthy!
**[16:12] Tetsu**
I don't feel so good.
**[16:15] Tetsu**
I'd better call it quits for now.
**[16:18] Ibuki**
You're quitting in the middle of a fight?
**[16:20] Tetsu**
I've had enough.
I understand Vanguard plenty.
**[16:24] Tetsu**
Let's end here.
**[16:29] Suiko**
Wh-What are you cackling about?!
**[16:30] Shuka**
Has he gone off the deep end?
**[16:32] Emi**
Looks like it...
**[16:33] Ibuki**
Jammer, you have no right
to call yourself Tetsu Shinjou!
**[16:39] Ibuki**
He's... Tetsu's not the kind of man
who would walk out in the middle of a fight!
**[16:45] Tetsu**
H-How can you be so sure?
**[16:48] Ibuki**
At one time...
**[16:51] Ibuki**
...I stole Vanguard from him.
**[16:56] Ibuki**
But then, in a rematch with me,
he regained his old self.
**[17:02] Ibuki**
There was no way his connection
with Vanguard could be forever broken!
**[17:06] Ibuki**
If he hadn't believed that then,
he never could've accomplished it!
**[17:11] Ibuki**
Do you really believe a man like that
would give up in the middle of a fight?!
**[17:15] Tetsu**
I... My... dream...
**[17:19] Tetsu**
My dream is to make the whole world healthy!
**[17:24] Ibuki**
Get outta here, Jammer!
**[17:27] Ibuki**
I don't want to see a Tetsu Shinjou
who's not a Vanguard fighter ever again!
**[17:43] Ibuki**
It's No Life King, Death Anchor!

You cannot defeat Jammers with Vanguard!
**[19:11] Ibuki**
That's why I'm so irritated!
**[19:13] Ibuki**
Anything can be resolved using Vanguard!
**[19:16] Ibuki**
That's the rule in the world we're from!

You should be grateful.

What released you from the distortion was
what you created for the head of your family.
**[21:05] Ibuki**
That's about the size of it.
**[21:08] Tetsu**
The head of my family? Who's that?
**[21:11] Ibuki**
Who? Ren Suzugamori, of course!

That's fine.

I'm sure Aichi Sendou will stop them.

It wasn't this distortion.

But why is it that Tetsu
doesn't know Ren Suzugamori?

Well, let's head back to our usual place.

However, if Alter Ego Messiah attacks,

all locked cards will be unlocked
and receive +10,000 power!

That's right.
**[24:23] Ibuki**
Wait, who's Kawanami?
**[24:24] Suiko**
I'm not sure myself.
**[24:25] Ibuki**
Will this show be okay with a C-class character
like him as the source of a distortion?
**[24:28] Ibuki**
Surely there's someone better--

Whatever, just say the episode title.

Okay.

Nothing.

What about the doughnuts?
**[00:17] Ibuki**
They didn't have them.
**[00:19] Suiko**
Did you actually look?
**[00:21] Ibuki**
If you want them so badly, you do the shopping.
**[00:23] Suiko**
Obviously, I can't!
**[00:25] Suiko**
I'm a top idol.

How long do we have to

**[02:53] Suiko**
Sorry.
**[02:54] Ibuki**
We're still not used to this.
**[02:57] Ibuki**
So, where are we?
**[02:58] Ibuki**
Where's the Jammer?
**[03:00] Kawanami**
Hey, you're jamming the path!
**[03:02] Ibuki/Suiko**
"Jamming"?!
**[03:03] Kawanami**
If someone is sitting
in the middle of the path,
**[03:05] Kawanami**
flirting with middle school girls,
I'd definitely call that jamming!
**[03:08] Ibuki**
Wait, you seem familiar...
**[03:13] Kawanami**
You really don't know my name?
**[03:15] Kawanami**
Are you sure you're Fukuhara High students?
**[03:19] Asaka**
Dearest Minami!
**[03:24] Suiko/Ibuki**
"Dearest Minami"?
**[03:26] Asaka**
What's the matter?
**[03:28] Kawanami**
You came at a good time...
**[03:31] Kawanami**
...Asaka, bae.
**[03:33] Suiko/Ibuki**
"Bae"?
**[03:35] Kawanami**
Inform these ignorant boors
as to just who I happen to be.
**[03:41] Asaka**
It would be my pleasure.
**[03:44] Asaka**
Hey you, moptop!
**[03:46] Ibuki**
Mop--!
**[03:48] Asaka**
Clean out your ears and listen carefully.
**[03:51] Asaka**
You are in the presence of Fukuhara High's
Vanguard Club's commander-in-chief,
**[03:56] Asaka**
Minami Kawanami!
**[03:58] Asaka**
You all had better bow down before your better!
**[04:04] Ibuki**
Wait, what?
**[04:06] Ibuki**
What about Ren Suzugamori?
**[04:08] Ibuki**
Isn't he Fukuhara High's head man?
**[04:12] Asaka**
"Ren"? Who's that?
**[04:14] Ibuki**
Don't play dumb!
**[04:16] Ibuki**
You're crazy about that guy!
**[04:20] Asaka**
Never heard of him!
Minami is the only one I love!
**[04:25] Kawanami**
Yep. And I too love only you, bae.
**[04:29] Ibuki**
Now I get it. You're both Jammers!
**[04:34] Ibuki**
I'll correct your distorted relationship!
**[04:39] Suiko**
Hasn't it sunk in yet?!
**[04:40] Suiko**
Vanguard can't do a thing against Jammers.
**[04:44] Ibuki**
I get your point, elbow.
**[04:47] Ibuki**
Hey, Sendou's little sister!
**[04:49] Ibuki**
Take care of these two!
**[04:51] Emi/Shuka**
We refuse!
**[04:53] Ibuki**
Why?!
**[04:54] Emi**
I mean, neither of them
have the mark of the Jammer...
**[05:01] Ibuki**
You're right.
**[05:02] Suiko**
Get your act together!
**[05:04] Asaka**
This is a waste of time.
**[05:05] Asaka**
Shall we go, dearest Minami?
**[05:07] Kawanami**
Sure. I'd go anywhere with you, Asaka my bae.
**[05:10] Emi/Shuka**
Well, we're out of here, too.
**[05:12] Ibuki**
Wait! Where are you going?!
**[05:14] Emi**
Where? We're going home.
**[05:16] Shuka**
I'm hungry...
**[05:18] Emi**
So am I.
**[05:19] Ibuki**
Blast it!
**[05:20] Ibuki**
Stick around. I'll treat you to ramen.
**[05:24] Shuka/Emi**
Really?!
**[05:25] Emi**
Then that's a different story!
**[05:27] Shuka**
I love getting treated!
**[05:34] Emi**
I don't get it.
**[05:37] Shuka**
Get what?
**[05:38] Emi**
That Kawanami guy acts all arrogant,
**[05:41] Emi**
but is it really that prestigious
being the leader of the Vanguard Club?
**[05:45] Ibuki**
Fukuhara High is a powerhouse school
**[05:47] Ibuki**
that's a contender for first place
at the Vanguard Koshien every year.
**[05:50] Ibuki**
Although that's in the world where
Ren Suzugamori captains the Vanguard Club.
**[05:56] Emi**
Ren Suzugamori?
**[05:58] Ibuki**
He's the guy who had a fierce fight
against Aichi Sendou at the Koshien finals.
**[06:03] Ibuki**
By all rights, he should be
the leader of Fukuhara's club.
**[06:12] Emi**
Thanks for the ramen.
**[06:14] Shuka**
Emi, wait!
**[06:15] Ibuki**
Hey, I wasn't done with my explanation!
**[06:18] Shuka**
Emi!
**[06:20] Emi**
Ren Suzugamori...
**[06:22] Emi**
He said Ren Suzugamori
fought Aichi at the Vanguard Koshien.
**[06:29] Emi**
There's a world where that happens!
**[06:34] Shuka**
It's okay. We'll be able to get that world back.
**[06:39] Emi**
Shuka...
**[06:40] Shuka**
First, let's search for that Ren Suzugamori.
**[06:43] Shuka**
Doesn't it seem fishy to you?
**[06:45] Shuka**
Ren Suzugamori of Fukuhara High's Vanguard Club.
**[06:49] Shuka**
He must be the core of this distortion!
**[06:52] Emi**
You're right. Let's go, Shuka!
***SIGN*** Ramen

Hold on! I'm a top idol.

**[07:15] Ibuki**
Don't worry, you lack the telltale idol aura.
**[07:18] Ibuki**
In the first place...
**[07:21] Ibuki**
...isn't wearing that school uniform...
**[07:23] Ibuki**
...a bit of a str--
**[07:26] Suiko**
Do what you want.
**[07:28] Suiko**
From now on, you're on your own.
**[07:31] Ibuki**
Seriously?!
**[07:33] Guard**
Sorry, girls.
**[07:35] Shuka**
Isn't there some way...?
**[07:36] Emi**
Please!
**[07:38] Suiko**
What's up?
**[07:40] Emi**
Suiko?
**[07:41] Guard**
You know them?
**[07:42] Suiko**
Yes.
**[07:44] Guard**
This girl wants to deliver
a lunchbox to her older brother,
**[07:48] Guard**
but she doesn't know what class
or even what year he's in.
**[07:51] Guard**
It's not that I don't believe them,
**[07:54] Guard**
but security has gotten tighter around here,
**[07:56] Guard**
so only students and staff are allowed inside.
**[07:59] Shuka**
Oh, come on!
**[08:00] Emi**
My brother is probably so hungry
that he can't concentrate in class!
**[08:06] Guard**
What's his name?
**[08:07] Shuka/Emi**
Ren Suzugamori!
**[08:10] Suiko**
It's probably easier to get a bead on Jammer
movements by hanging out with these two...
**[08:15] Suiko**
All right. I'll take you to your brother.
**[08:19] Shuka**
Really?!
**[08:20] Emi**
Thank you!
**[08:22] Guard**
Sorry for the hassle.
**[08:25] Suiko**
What do you want with Ren Suzugamori?
**[08:28] Shuka**
Isn't it obvious?
**[08:30] Emi**
Ren Suzugamori is at
the center of this distortion.
**[08:34] Shuka**
He has to be the Jammer boss!
**[08:36] Suiko**
Do you have proof?
**[08:37] Shuka**
Call it girls' intuition!
**[08:39] Suiko**
That's what you're going on?!
**[08:41] Shuka**
But still...
**[08:42] Shuka**
...I didn't realize the school was so big.
**[08:45] Shuka**
How many classrooms are there?
**[08:47] Emi**
If we peek in each room,
we'll be here till sunset!
**[08:50] Suiko**
Okay, follow me.

Of course not.
**[09:06] Suiko**
Bingo.
**[09:08] Emi**
Hackers always say "bingo," you see?
**[09:11] Shuka**
Why?
**[09:12] Emi**
Good question...
**[09:14] Suiko**
I believe Ren Suzugamori's class is...

What did you suspect?
**[09:23] Emi**
That.

But we couldn't find anything.

**[10:00] Asaka**
Well, well, we meet again.
**[10:03] Asaka**
And what might you be looking for?
**[10:07] Suiko**
Asaka Narumi!
**[10:13] Ibuki**
Yikes!
**[10:14] Bidou**
Whoops.
**[10:18] Bidou**
Where did it fall?
**[10:20] Bidou**
There it is.
**[10:25] Ibuki**
Tch.
**[10:26] Kawanami**
What is it?
**[10:29] Kawanami**
Oh, it's you.
**[10:31] Kawanami**
Welcome to Fukuhara High
School's Vanguard Club.
**[10:38] Shuka**
What are you doing?!
**[10:40] Asaka**
I'm onto you.
**[10:42] Asaka**
Here to correct the distortion, huh?
**[10:46] Asaka**
But unfortunately, until Kawanami and I
complete our Bow Wow Kingdom of Love,
**[10:52] Asaka**
you'll have to cool your heels here.
**[10:59] Suiko**
Wait! What's this about a "Bow Wow Kingdom"?!
**[11:04] Asaka**
Just one more left...
**[11:06] Asaka**
Him.
**[11:23] Suiko**
What's this about a "Bow Wow Kingdom"?!
**[11:28] Asaka**
Just one more left...
**[11:30] Asaka**
Him.
**[11:31] Ibuki**
What the heck is this?!
**[11:33] Kawanami**
As you can plainly see, it's our uniform.
**[11:36] Kawanami**
Our bow wow suit!
**[11:38] Ibuki**
Bow wow suit?!
**[11:40] Kawanami**
It may seem a little strange at first,
but once you get used to it,
**[11:44] Kawanami**
you'll come to appreciate
the brilliant bow wow suit!
**[11:47] Kawanami**
So let's begin our warm-up exercises!
**[11:51] Kawanami**
Woof!
**[11:51] All**
Woof!
**[11:52] Kawanami**
Sit!
**[11:53] All**
Yes, sir!
**[11:54] Kawanami**
Paw!
**[11:54] All**
Paw!
**[11:55] Ibuki**
Wh-What is this?! My body's moving on its own!
**[11:57] Kawanami**
More!
**[11:58] All**
More!
**[11:59] Kawanami**
Hind legs!
**[12:00] All**
Woof!
**[12:00] Kawanami**
Sit!
**[12:01] All**
Sit!
**[12:02] Kawanami**
Woof!
**[12:03] All**
Woof!
**[12:05] Ibuki**
What the heck does this
have to do with Vanguard?!
**[12:09] Kawanami**
Apparently you've got the wrong idea.
**[12:12] Ibuki**
Wrong idea?!
**[12:14] Kawanami**
This isn't the "Van"-guard Club.
**[12:16] Kawanami**
It's Fukuhara High School's...
***SIGN*** Woofguard Club
**[12:18] All**
..."Woof"-guard Club!
**[12:20] Ibuki**
But you guys called yourselves
the Vanguard Club just a bit ago!
**[12:23] Kawanami**
You must've misheard us!
***SIGN*** Woofguard Club
**[12:26] Kawanami**
You pronounce Vanguard with a "va"!
**[12:28] Kawanami**
Bite your tongue while you
say it to get the right "woof" feel!
**[12:30] Ibuki**
Shut up!
**[12:32] Ibuki**
Even your club name makes no sense!
**[12:34] Ibuki**
What the heck is a "woofguard"?!
**[12:37] Kawanami**
What phrases are associated with the word "dog"?
**[12:41] Kawanami**
"The whimper of a whipped pup."
"The dog that bites the hand that feeds."
**[12:44] Kawanami**
"The weaker the dog, the louder the bark."
**[12:46] Kawanami**
All of them give dogs a bad name.
**[12:50] Kawanami**
"Make puppy dog eyes,"
"retreat with your tail between your legs,"
**[12:52] Kawanami**
"You dirty dog!"
**[12:54] Kawanami**
People use all of these
expressions pejoratively.
**[12:56] Kawanami**
But they're wrong!
**[12:58] Kawanami**
There is no animal on Earth
more clever than the dog!
**[13:01] Kawanami**
Since the dawn of history, dogs have lived
with humans, sometimes serving as guides,
**[13:06] Kawanami**
running across hill and dale and
courageously standing up to any enemy.
**[13:11] Kawanami**
The dog is truly humankind's best friend,
and to look at it from another perspective,
**[13:15] Kawanami**
it would be no overstatement
to say that without their support,
**[13:17] Kawanami**
humans would have gone extinct long ago!
**[13:21] Kawanami**
And yet, humans bind them with collars
and cuddle them just as they please!
**[13:27] Kawanami**
That's no different than abuse!
**[13:31] Kawanami**
Rise up, everyone, for the sake of dogs!
**[13:34] Kawanami**
As dogs, we will make this planet
a true paradise for all doggiekind!
**[13:40] Kawanami**
Stand up...
**[13:41] Members**
...Woofguard!
**[13:43] Ibuki**
I still don't get it, but
there's one thing I do know!
**[13:46] Ibuki**
*You* are the cause of
this time period's "distortion"!
**[13:50] Kawanami**
What?!
**[13:51] Ibuki**
I'm gonna crush your mad ambitions!
**[13:55] Ibuki**
I challenge you to a game of Vanguard!
**[13:57] Kawanami**
Fine!
**[13:58] Kawanami**
However, if you lose, you'll have to
become a member of the Woofguard Club.
**[14:08] Kawanami**
I lost...
**[14:11] Ibuki**
Actually getting to fight someone....
**[14:12] Ibuki**
Such a wonderful feeling!
**[14:15] Ibuki**
Thanks, Kawanami.
**[14:16] Bidou**
Wait!
**[14:17] Bidou**
No quitting while you're ahead! Woof!
**[14:20] Bidou**
If you wanna leave here,
you'll have to beat us, too! Woof!
**[14:24] Ibuki**
Challenge accepted!
**[14:25] Ibuki**
Come at me, the whole pack of you!
**[14:28] Ibuki**
Hang on...
**[14:29] Ibuki**
These guys all want to play Vanguard.
**[14:32] Ibuki**
That means they're not Jammers.
**[14:35] Ibuki**
Dang it! Where is the *real* Jammer?!
**[14:38] Asaka**
Here.
**[14:39] Asaka**
I'm right here.
**[14:41] Kawanami**
Asaka! Bae!
**[14:42] Asaka**
Down, boy!
**[14:44] Asaka**
A whipped pup like you
has no right to call me "bae".
**[14:49] Asaka**
Henceforth, you will
address me as "Mistress Asaka."
**[14:53] Asaka**
You!
**[14:55] Asaka**
I made you the leader of the club,
yet you let me down, you useless cur!
**[15:00] Ibuki**
Now it makes sense.
**[15:01] Ibuki**
You're the "last boss."
**[15:04] Asaka**
That's right!
**[15:05] Asaka**
The Bow Wow Kingdom would have
tamed humans as domestic animals.
**[15:09] Asaka**
We were one step away from our goal!
**[15:12] Asaka**
People like you are nothing but nuisances!
**[15:22] Asaka**
Jam-jam-jammer!
**[15:24] Ibuki**
You...
**[15:30] Asaka**
Jam-jam-jam-jammm...
**[15:32] Asaka**
Jam-jam-jam-jammm...
**[15:34] Asaka**
Silver Thorn Dragon Tamer, Luquier!
**[15:38] Asaka**
Jam-jam-jam-jammm...
**[15:39] Ibuki**
Is this who you really are?!
**[15:42] Ibuki**
You're not embarrassed to be
dressed like that in public?
**[15:45] Asaka**
Silence!
**[15:46] Asaka**
Hounds, become my comrades!
**[15:48] Asaka**
Jammer...
**[15:49] Asaka**
This will be your graveyard, Kouji Ibuki.
**[15:53] Ibuki**
Tch. Maybe I shouldn't have
made that last insult.
**[15:56] Asaka**
Jam-jam-jam-jammm...
**[15:58] Suiko**
I'm hungry!
**[16:00] Emi**
Hey, where's Ibuki?
**[16:01] Shuka**
Can't you call him?
**[16:03] Suiko**
I don't want to.
**[16:04] Emi**
Did you have a fight?
**[16:06] Shuka**
You have to patch things up yourselves.
We can't get involved in a lovers' quarrel.
**[16:10] Suiko**
We are not lovers!
**[16:12] Shuka**
But isn't it meaningful that both of you
have traveled to this same time period?
**[16:18] Suiko**
Meaningful?
**[16:19] Shuka**
Yes. There are innumerable flows of time,
so it's much more likely
**[16:23] Shuka**
for you to pass each other by
than to become entangled with each other.
**[16:26] Shuka**
Maybe when you meet someone,
you should treasure that.
**[16:31] Suiko**
Sorry, would you run that by me again?
**[16:33] Shuka**
My point is--
**[16:35] Shuka**
Nice one, Emi!
**[16:37] Shuka**
All right!
**[16:39] Suiko**
Untie me, too!
**[16:41] Shuka**
It's locked!
**[16:43] Emi**
What should we do?!
**[16:45] Shuka**
Isn't that...?
**[16:53] Emi**
Thank you!
**[16:53] Shuka**
Good job!
**[16:55] Suiko**
I'll explain later!
**[16:58] Guard**
What the heck is going on here?!
**[17:05] Asaka**
Jam-jam-jam-jammm!
**[17:06] Asaka**
It's Pale Moon's splendid showtime.
**[17:09] Asaka**
May I ask that you enjoy the show?
**[17:11] Kawanami**
Get him, Mistress Asaka!
**[17:13] Ibuki**
Why didn't you transform?!
**[17:15] Kawanami**
I am Mistress Asaka's loyal servant!
**[17:18] Kawanami**
My form is human, but my mind is Fullbau!
**[17:22] Ibuki**
Uh, that's not even a Pale Moon unit...
**[17:25] Asaka**
Why don't we finish this?
**[17:31] Emi/Shuka**
Not so fast!
**[17:41] Ibuki**
Took you long enough!
**[17:43] Suiko**
Sheesh. You can't do anything without me.
**[17:46] Ibuki**
Well, excuse me!
**[17:48] Asaka**
You two!
**[17:50] Shuka**
Let's do it, Emi!
**[17:51] Emi**
Okay!
**[18:04] Shuka/Emi**
We're Blaster Pair, the magical girls
who will bring back that smile!
**[18:13] Emi/Shuka**
Silver Thorn Dragon Tamer, Luquier!
**[18:16] Shuka**
When there's a tenacious distortion
running rampant in the world...
**[18:19] Emi**
...it's our job to fix it!
**[18:22] Asaka**
Oh, is this any time to put on airs?
**[18:25] Asaka**
There are opponents in this world
that you're better off not defying.
**[18:29] Asaka**
Time for your lesson!
**[18:32] Asaka**
Dynamite Juggler!
**[18:35] Emi**
Right back at you!
**[18:41] Asaka**
Nitro Juggler!
**[18:44] Shuka**
Sorry!
**[18:47] Asaka**
Why, you...
**[18:48] Kawanami**
Mistress Asaka! Leave this to me!
**[18:51] Ibuki**
He's gonna be a human cannonball!
**[18:54] Suiko**
That's not actually a weapon...
**[18:56] Asaka**
Let's do it!
**[18:58] Asaka**
Fire!
**[19:00] Shuka**
Emi!
**[19:07] Kawanami**
Ka-boom!
**[19:12] Suiko**
Purple Trapezist?!
**[19:14] Ibuki**
No, it's not! That's...
**[19:17] Ren**
When a beautiful flower blooms
in a corner of the circus tent...
**[19:21] Ren**
I will not allow anyone to trample it.
**[19:24] Asaka**
Who are you?!
**[19:25] Ren**
I am the knight who gallops
through the darkness.
**[19:28] Ren**
Mask, the Dark!
**[19:30] Emi**
Mask, the Dark?
**[19:32] Ibuki**
You're Ren, right?
**[19:34] Ren**
Aww, come on. Who calls a guy by name
when his face is hidden by a mask, Bukki?
**[19:41] Ibuki**
Why, you...
**[19:43] Ren**
The curtain hasn't come down yet on this show.
**[19:46] Ren**
Show me what you've got, magical girl.
**[19:49] Emi**
Just watch me, Mask, the Dark.
**[19:54] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[19:58] Shuka**
Realize!
**[20:00] Emi**
We need you, Blaster Blade!
**[20:23] Shuka**
Emi, here's this week's final card!
**[20:27] Shuka**
Dragonic Blademaster!
**[20:33] Asaka**
Jam-jam-jammm!
**[20:45] Ren**
Your big brother...
**[20:47] Ren**
Aichi Sendou was the only one who understood me.
**[20:54] Ren**
If you would remove his distortion as well...
**[20:57] Ren**
Stay in the fight...
**[20:58] Ren**
...magical girls!
**[21:01] Shuka/Emi**
We will!
**[21:13] Ibuki**
It wasn't this distortion, either.
**[21:15] Suiko**
I wonder when we'll be able to
return to our own world.
**[21:21] Ren**
Stay in the fight...
**[21:23] Ren**
...magical girls!
**[21:27] Shuka**
Emi!
**[21:29] Shuka**
You were thinking about him, weren't you?
**[21:32] Shuka**
"Dark"!
**[21:33] Emi**
N-No, I wasn't!
**[21:37] Shuka**
Emi, I can read you like a book!
**[21:39] Emi**
You tricked me into admitting it!
That's not nice!
**[21:49] Asaka**
Mask, the Shoulder Pads!
**[21:53] Asaka**
His square shoulders saved me!
**[21:56] Asaka**
Who are you, and where did you come from?!
**[22:00] Kawanami**
Who's Mask, the Shoulder Pads?!
**[22:02] Bidou**
She must mean that masked man!
**[22:04] Kishida**
"Shoulder Pads" wasn't in his name, though...
**[22:07] Asaka**
Mask, the Shoulder Pads!
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Kagero's
Dragonic Blademaster "Souen"!
***SIGN*** Dragonic Blademaster "Souen"
**[23:53] Narrator**
"Souen" is a power-up unit
for Dragonic Blademaster!
**[23:56] Narrator**
This unit's skill retires
all of the opponent's rear-guards,
**[24:00] Narrator**
and calls a Vision token to a rear-guard circle!
**[24:02] Narrator**
Even though Vision is on a rear-guard circle,
**[24:04] Narrator**
it's a Blademaster-exclusive token
that can perform a twin drive!
**[24:07] Narrator**
Use Vision's bonus drive to win
the fight with a mighty attack!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Ibuki**
My name is Kouji Ibuki.
**[24:17] Ibuki**
I was sucked into a weird book,
and now I'm stuck fixing historical distortions.
**[24:21] Suiko**
Cough, cough.
**[24:22] Ibuki**
Not that I want to call her my partner,
but right now, my partner has a little cold.
**[24:26] Suiko**
Cough, cough.
**[24:26] Ibuki**
What's that?! Next time, you and I
are held captive on a decadent world
**[24:30] Ibuki**
and tormented by a boy
whose name we don't even know?!
**[24:33] Suiko**
Cough, cough.
**[24:34] Ibuki**
It's an action-packed episode,
in which I mow down all of the bad guys
**[24:37] Ibuki**
with a secret skill my father taught to me?!
***SIGN*** if 6
Say my name?! The Brutal Iron Mask Kyou!!
**[24:40] Suiko**
Cough, cough!
**[24:41] Ibuki**
Was that an accurate description
of the next episode? Believe it or not.

**[00:01] Ibuki**
My name is Kouji Ibuki.
**[00:04] Ibuki**
Guided by the Akashic Book,
**[00:05] Ibuki**
I'm on a journey to correct
distortions around the world.
**[00:12] Ibuki**
Or that's the idea...
**[00:17] Ibuki**
What is this?!
**[00:20] Suiko**
Oh, you're finally awake?
You certainly took your sweet time.
**[00:24] Ibuki**
Wait a second. What the heck
is going on here?!
**[00:27] Suiko**
I don't even want to get into it.
**[00:30] Suiko**
This is the end of the century.
**[00:32] Suiko**
We landed right in the middle of
degeneracy, freedom, and mayhem.
**[00:36] Ibuki**
Calm down, Kouji Ibuki.
**[00:38] Ibuki**
Remember.
**[00:40] Ibuki**
Recall how you got into this predicament.
**[00:43] Ibuki**
Remember!
***SIGN*** if 6
Say my name?! The Brutal Iron Mask Kyou!!
**[02:23] Ibuki**
That's right. It was an unpleasant,
drizzling Saturday afternoon.
**[02:33] Ibuki**
Welcome home, master.
**[02:37] Ibuki**
You're wondering why I'm dressed like this?
**[02:40] Ibuki**
I'll explain later.
**[02:42] Suiko**
Ahh, I'm so hungry. Gimme food.
**[02:48] Ibuki**
Your rice omelet, ma'am.
**[02:51] Suiko**
Something's missing.
**[02:55] Ibuki**
Something's missing? What might that be?
**[02:58] Suiko**
Sincerity.
**[03:00] Ibuki**
S-Sincerity?
**[03:03] Suiko**
Do it.
**[03:06] Ibuki**
Yes... master.
***SIGN*** Ketchup
**[03:10] Ibuki**
A-All the love in the world...
**[03:14] Ibuki**
Gather it up, gather it up...
**[03:17] Ibuki**
Be yummy!
**[03:19] Ibuki**
Love! Love!
**[03:21] Ibuki**
I can't do this!
**[03:24] Suiko**
Hey, Ibuki! Can you afford to
take that attitude with me?!
***SIGN*** Beef Bowl
**[03:28] Suiko**
You went to the beef bowl place,
unaware that you'd lost your wallet.
**[03:32] Suiko**
You were on the verge of pulling a dine and dash,
or being handed over to the police...
**[03:35] Suiko**
...but instead you called me, a top idol,
in the middle of the night to save you.
**[03:40] Suiko**
I advanced you 590 yen, including tax,
for a large beef bowl.
**[03:45] Suiko**
So who owes who here?!
**[03:49] Ibuki**
It's true I put you to some trouble...
**[03:54] Ibuki**
...but still...
**[03:55] Ibuki**
...why do I have to wait on you like this
for the price of a beef bowl?!
**[04:02] Suiko**
You could always quit.
**[04:05] Suiko**
But how are you going to get along
in this world without any money?
**[04:08] Suiko**
Don't come crying to me.
**[04:11] Ibuki**
If I don't get myself out of
this situation soon, my heart will...
**[04:21] Ibuki**
The Akashic Book!
**[04:22] Suiko**
Emi and Shuka have found a new distortion!
**[04:25] Ibuki**
Finally!
**[04:27] Suiko**
You mean to go like that?!
**[04:42] Ibuki**
What is this world?
**[04:45] Suiko**
I don't think all the shops around here
are closed just because it's night.
**[04:53] Mohican A**
A woman!
**[04:54] Mohican B**
Hey, girl! Why don't you hang out with us?
**[04:58] Ibuki**
I hate to break it to you, but I'm...
**[05:01] Ibuki**
...a man!
**[05:02] Mohican A**
What?!
**[05:03] Mohican B**
A man!
**[05:04] Mohican C**
That's a dude!
**[05:06] Mohican B**
No makin' a fool outta me!
**[05:11] Mohican E**
Whoa there, guy!
**[05:13] Mohican E**
I wouldn't move if I were you.
**[05:15] Mohican E**
You know what's gonna happen to
your friend if you're not a good listener.
**[05:21] Ibuki**
I never said she was my friend.
**[05:24] Suiko**
What?!
**[05:27] Suiko**
Kouji Ibuki!
**[05:30] Suiko**
Let's see what color blood you have!
**[05:37] Ibuki**
Now I remember!
**[05:38] Ibuki**
You hammered me!
**[05:40] Boss**
Hey! Shut your mouth!
**[05:55] Ibuki**
Hey, that guy... that gorilla. Is he your boss?
**[06:00] Boss**
You're on Team Asteroid turf.
**[06:04] Boss**
Everything that's here belongs to us!
**[06:08] Boss**
Every drop of fuel,
every rice seed, every raindrop!
**[06:12] Boss**
And anyone who defies us
gets crushed without mercy!
**[06:14] All**
Yeah!
**[06:16] Ibuki**
Just great.
**[06:17] Suiko**
Aren't Team Asteroid...?
**[06:20] Ibuki**
Ren's team of troublemakers.
**[06:24] Ibuki**
But the most they could do was make
a shambles of the local card shop scene.
**[06:28] Ibuki**
So what's the story with
this post-apocalyptic gang?
**[06:32] Boss**
We captured trespassers on our turf!
**[06:37] Boss**
According to Team Asteroid law, every drop
of their blood and morsel of meat are ours!
**[06:43] All**
Yeah!
**[06:45] Suiko**
Y-You've got to be kidding me!
**[06:47] Boss**
Silence! He has already passed judgment on you!
**[06:51] Suiko**
"He"?
**[06:53] Boss**
The leader of Team Asteroid,
our great and powerful...
**[06:55] Boss**
...Boss!
**[06:57] Ibuki**
Another masked man?
**[06:59] Suiko**
So wild, with the spikes
on the shoulders and all!
**[07:02] Ibuki**
You like it?!
**[07:03] Kyou**
Everyone, say my name!
**[07:06] All**
Ren! Ren! Ren! Ren!
**[07:09] Ibuki**
What?! It can't be!
**[07:12] Ibuki**
He's not even remotely like Ren!
**[07:16] Suiko**
He isn't Ren!
**[07:17] Suiko**
Who is he?
**[07:19] Ibuki**
He's...
**[07:21] Ibuki**
Delete End.
**[07:28] Ibuki**
...the kid I deleted!
**[07:32] Ibuki**
His name is...
**[07:34] Kyou**
I'm ***. Who are you?
**[07:37] Ibuki**
Kouji Ibuki.
**[07:39] Ibuki**
No good. I know I've heard it once,
but I can't remember his name.
**[07:44] Kyou**
Hey, you!
**[07:46] Kyou**
Say my name.
**[07:49] Ibuki**
R-Re...
**[07:51] Ibuki**
No, I know it! I know it!
**[07:53] Ibuki**
Your real name is...
**[07:55] Ibuki**
Akagi! No, Takagi!
**[07:58] Kyou**
Are you mocking me?!
**[07:59] Kyou**
If you can't say my name...
**[08:02] Kyou**
...you'll both be executed!
**[08:04] Suiko**
Why are we in the same boat?!
**[08:06] Suiko**
What are we going to do?!
**[08:08] Ibuki**
Y-Your name is...
**[08:11] Kyou**
You'll be executed at dawn!
**[08:13] Kyou**
Lock them in the dungeon until then!
**[08:16] All**
Yeah!
**[08:18] Suiko**
W-Wait a minute!
**[08:19] Suiko**
Your name is cooler than that, right?
**[08:22] Suiko**
Murasame? Saionji?!
**[08:25] Suiko**
Let me have a chance to guess, too!
**[08:33] Ibuki**
Wait, I know... Ogi! No... Hagi!
**[08:36] Ibuki**
Shoot, it's not coming to me.
**[08:37] Suiko**
Shouldn't we check the Akashic Book?
**[08:40] Ibuki**
Where is it?
**[08:41] Suiko**
Hold on.
**[08:42] Ibuki**
Here?
**[08:43] Suiko**
No! Keep your hands to yourself!
**[08:46] Suiko**
There.
***SIGN*** Kyou Yahagi
**[08:47] Suiko**
Kyou Yahagi.
**[08:50] Ibuki**
I was more or less right.
**[08:51] Suiko**
You were totally off!
**[08:53] Ibuki**
Let's see, originally...
**[08:55] Ibuki**
...he was one of Ren Suzugamori's hangers-on,
**[08:58] Ibuki**
but his skills were a cut above
the rest, so when he turned twelve,
**[09:01] Ibuki**
he got a spot on Apex Limited Four.
**[09:06] Ibuki**
So where did that jerk go wrong in this world?
**[09:09] Suiko**
It says it right there.
**[09:10] Suiko**
"Ever since Kouji Ibuki
severed his bond with Vanguard,
**[09:14] Suiko**
"Kyou Yahagi lost all interest
in card games and turned to evil.
**[09:19] Suiko**
"He's currently the criminal boss
of the entire Kanto District.
***SIGN*** The culprit is Bukki.
**[09:23] Suiko**
"The culprit is Bukki."
**[09:26] Ibuki**
It's my fault?!
**[09:27] Suiko**
Hey, you deleted me, too!
**[09:30] Ibuki**
Gulp...
**[09:30] Suiko**
I see...
**[09:33] Suiko**
You severed my bond with Vanguard, as well.
**[09:37] Suiko**
I had no idea.
**[09:42] Ibuki**
I'm so sleepy all of a sudden.
**[09:44] Ibuki**
Maybe it's jet lag?
**[09:45] Suiko**
Don't pretend to be sleepy
the minute you're in hot water!
**[09:48] Suiko**
We're going to be executed at dawn!
**[09:50] Suiko**
Think of a way for us to escape!
**[09:53] Aichi**
Kyou was a fighter with a goal.
**[09:56] Aichi**
He may have done some odd things
to get better, but he worked hard at it!
**[10:01] Aichi**
And yet, you've now
disconnected Kyou from his dreams!
**[10:06] Aichi**
That's unforgivable, Ibuki!
**[10:10] Ibuki**
How much balance was the world kept in,
just from Aichi Sendou being there?
**[10:15] Ibuki**
How many sins of mine did he have to forgive?
**[10:18] Ibuki**
Just thinking about it leaves me depressed.
**[10:25] Suiko**
Let's see what color blood you have!
**[10:30] Shuka**
Ouch.
**[10:32] Shuka**
Looks like they got caught
seconds after the gate opened.
**[10:34] Shuka**
Are they incompetent or what?
**[10:36] Emi**
Knowing those two, they'll be fine.
**[10:38] Emi**
Finding the Jammer should be our first priority.
**[10:40] Shuka**
But...
**[10:42] Shuka**
...when the distortion is as major as this,
we have no idea where the Jammer could be.
**[10:47] Emi**
I bet the source of this distortion
is the boss of those crazy guys!
**[10:51] Shuka**
That makes sense!
**[10:52] Shuka**
You're sharp, Emi!
**[11:00] Shuka**
That must be the mohawk guys' lair.
**[11:03] Emi**
The Jammer is probably inside.
**[11:05] Shuka**
Shall we go, then?
**[11:08] Shuka**
A raid! Let's show 'em the Blaster Pair spirit!
**[11:12] Emi**
I've got just one question, Shuka.
**[11:15] Emi**
Do you have a driver's license?
**[11:17] Shuka**
What's that?
**[11:19] Emi**
I thought as much!
***SIGN*** Name: Shuka
Address: Standuptown, The Vanguard Prefecture
Magical-Girl Class License {
Restrictions: no transforming while driving,
eating too many sweets prohibited }

**[11:21] Emi**
You can't get a license until you're 18!
**[11:24] Emi**
Aren't you younger than me, Shuka?
**[11:27] Emi**
You can't even ride a scooter!
**[11:29] Ren**
Not to mention, do you even know how to drive?
**[11:35] Emi/Shuka**
How long have you been here?!
**[11:36] Emi**
Who are you?!
**[11:39] Ren**
I'm just a high school student, passing by.
**[11:41] Ren**
You're Emi Sendou, right?
**[11:43] Emi**
How do you know my name?!
**[11:46] Ren**
We've met many times before,
but I guess you don't remember me?
**[11:49] Shuka**
Emi, this guy seems like a psycho...
**[11:52] Emi**
Yeah. That's the vibe I get, too.
**[11:54] Shuka**
Shall we run?
**[11:55] Emi**
Yeah.
**[11:56] Ren**
You...
**[11:58] Ren**
You have such unique eyes!
**[12:01] Ren**
Those flower bouquet-like eyes of yours
have seen a myriad of worlds.
**[12:05] Shuka**
H-How do you know that?
**[12:08] Ren**
How do you think?
**[12:08] Shuka**
Too close! You're too close!
**[12:10] Emi**
Chop!
**[12:11] Emi**
Give Shuka some room to breathe!
**[12:13] Ren**
Would you girls like to go for a drive with me?
**[12:16] Emi**
No way!
**[12:17] Shuka**
Forget it!
**[12:18] Ren**
That's too bad.
**[12:19] Ren**
It could be a chance to get
what you're looking for.
**[12:23] Ren**
You never know.
**[12:28] Boss**
Boss.
**[12:30] Boss**
Where are you going this time of night?
**[12:32] Kyou**
That's not your concern.
**[12:34] Kyou**
I'm just going to make the rounds.
**[12:35] Boss**
Then we'll go with you.
**[12:37] Kyou**
No need.
**[12:38] Kyou**
Beef up security instead.
**[12:40] Kyou**
Don't let a single soul slip into our territory!
**[12:46] Boss**
Understood.
**[13:07] Emi**
What is this place?
**[13:08] Ren**
Make yourselves at home.
**[13:10] Ren**
This place used to be our headquarters.
**[13:13] Shuka**
"Our"?
**[13:16] Ren**
Team Asteroid.
**[13:18] Ren**
Friends who loved Vanguard would gather here.
**[13:22] Ren**
But I had gotten too strong,
and that warped our relationship.
**[13:27] Emi**
Are you the Jammer?!
**[13:30] Ren**
What's a Jammer?
**[13:31] Shuka**
Don't play dumb! Why did you bring us here?!
**[13:36] Ren**
For this.
**[13:41] Emi**
Cards?
**[13:43] Ren**
How can we get stronger?
**[13:47] Ren**
We were so absorbed in this card game
that we didn't even notice the passage of time.
**[13:52] Ren**
Every day was so much fun.
**[13:56] Ren**
I can never get that time back...
**[14:00] Ren**
...but sometimes I return here
to relive those memories.
**[14:04] Emi**
Memories...
**[14:06] Ren**
I'm giving one to you.
**[14:10] Kyou**
You!
**[14:13] Kyou**
What are you doing here?
**[14:16] Ren**
Long time no see, boy.
**[14:18] Ren**
Or when you're wearing that mask,
should I call you "Ren"?
**[14:30] Emi**
H-He's the Jammer!
**[14:33] Kyou**
Get out of here!
**[14:34] Kyou**
Get out right now!
**[14:43] Ren**
Bye bye!
**[14:44] Kyou**
Weasel!
**[14:49] Kyou**
Darn it!
**[14:51] Ren**
Well, that was a close call, huh?
**[14:53] Emi**
Thank you!
**[14:54] Shuka**
Who was that?
**[14:56] Ren**
Kyou Yahagi. A former teammate and friend.
**[14:59] Emi**
Friend?
**[15:01] Ren**
Goodnight, girls.
**[15:03] Ren**
It's late.
**[15:04] Ren**
Let's continue our date next time!
**[15:07] Ren**
Bye now!
**[15:09] Shuka**
What's with that guy?
**[15:11] Emi**
Hey, Shuka, doesn't he
remind you of Mask, the Dark?
**[15:16] Shuka**
How so?
**[15:33] Boss**
Do you have any last words?
**[15:36] Suiko**
I want a last dessert!
**[15:37] Boss**
Denied!
**[15:38] Suiko**
Then don't bother asking!
**[15:40] Boss**
How about you?
**[15:42] Ibuki**
Hey, Kyou!
**[15:43] Ibuki**
I challenge you to a game of Vanguard!
**[15:45] Suiko**
Are you back on that again?!
**[15:47] Suiko**
A Vanguard fight means nothing to a Jammer.
**[15:50] Boss**
Lord Ren isn't going to waste
any more time on the likes of you!
**[15:53] Ibuki**
That isn't Ren!
**[15:54] Ibuki**
It's Kyou Yahagi! That's his real name!
**[15:58] Mohican A**
Yahagi?
**[16:00] Mohican B**
Who's that?
**[16:00] Mohican C**
Don't ask me.
**[16:02] Ibuki**
He took on the name of his idol, Ren,
and just pretends to be strong!
**[16:06] Ibuki**
After all, "Kyou" isn't the kind of name
that would inspire fear or love!
**[16:10] Kyou**
Shut up! What do you know?!
**[16:13] Suiko**
I'm so sorry! He never thinks before he speaks.
**[16:17] Suiko**
You idiot! What's the point of provoking him?!
**[16:20] Kyou**
It's time! Do it now!
**[16:28] Suiko**
You're actually setting
us on fire?! We're doomed!
**[16:32] Emi/Shuka**
Not so fast!
**[16:36] Boss**
Who are you?!
**[16:38] Emi**
We're just a pair of magical girls, passing by!
**[16:41] Shuka**
The Jammer forgot to
take this with him last night!
**[16:47] Kyou**
What is it?
**[16:49] Shuka**
Don't you know?
**[16:50] Emi**
It's your deck. We found it in
the old Team Asteroid HQ.
**[16:54] Emi**
Ren spent a lot of precious time
there with his friends.
**[16:59] Emi**
Including memories with you.
**[17:01] Emi**
They're all shut away
in that abandoned building.
**[17:05] Kyou**
Are you saying Ren's my friend?!
**[17:08] Kyou**
Ren...
**[17:11] Ren**
What's wrong, boy?
**[17:17] Kyou**
That's a lie!
**[17:18] Kyou**
Lies! Nothing but lies!
**[17:20] Kyou**
"My friend"? Ha!
**[17:23] Kyou**
That Ren... never even remembered my name!
**[17:29] Kyou**
Jammer!
**[17:33] Boss**
It's a monster!
**[17:35] Kyou**
Jammer!
**[17:38] Shuka**
Let's go, Emi!
**[17:39] Emi**
Okay!
**[17:40] Ibuki**
Hey, wait!
**[17:42] Ibuki**
Set us free first!
**[17:45] Ibuki**
Don't blow on it!
**[17:50] Shuka/Emi**
We're Blaster Pair, the magical girls
who will bring back that smile!
**[17:57] Emi/Shuka**
Dueling Dragon, ZANBAKU!
**[17:59] Shuka**
We'll bring back...
**[18:01] Emi**
...the love that you lost!
**[18:04] Kyou**
Come to me!
**[18:05] Kyou**
Left Arrester! Right Arrester!
**[18:08] Kyou**
I won't let you rain on my parade!
**[18:14] Shuka**
Emi!
**[18:15] Kyou**
How's that?! She's helpless now!
**[18:18] Suiko**
That holding technique prevents
the opponent from riding a Vanguard!
**[18:21] Ibuki**
Well, well. For someone who got deleted,
you remember a lot about how to fight.
**[18:27] Ibuki**
So even with the bond between
you and Vanguard severed,
**[18:29] Ibuki**
your body still has
the muscle memory for fighting?
**[18:32] Kyou**
Silence!
**[18:34] Emi**
Ren told us about it!
**[18:36] Emi**
He treasured the time he spent with his friends!
**[18:41] Emi**
Those memories must be precious to you, too!
**[18:44] Emi**
Isn't that why you went to
Team Asteroid's old clubhouse?!
**[18:49] Kyou**
Enough! I don't need stupid memories!
**[18:52] Kyou**
I'm gonna surpass Ren!
**[19:01] Kyou**
Who's there?!
**[19:02] Emi**
Mask, the Dark!
**[19:06] Ren**
It's wrong to bind a girl.
**[19:09] Ren**
Okay, girls, time to strike back.
**[19:12] Emi/Shuka**
Right!
**[19:17] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[19:20] Shuka**
Realize!
**[19:22] Emi**
We need you, Blaster Blade!
**[19:37] Kyou**
Fool!
**[19:41] Emi**
Blaster Blade!
**[19:43] Kyou**
It doesn't matter what you summon.
**[19:47] Kyou**
Now you'll be the first to die! Jammer!
**[19:50] Emi**
Blaster Blade!
**[19:55] Shuka**
Emi, here's this week's final card!
**[19:59] Shuka**
Realize!
**[20:01] Shuka**
Stealth Rogue of Revelation, Yasuie!
**[20:04] Kyou**
What?!
**[20:14] Kyou**
This isn't fair!
**[20:15] Ibuki**
You should talk!
**[20:17] Kyou**
Jammer?!
**[20:19] Kyou**
J-J-J-Jammer!
**[20:22] Kyou**
JAMMERRR!
**[20:37] Ibuki**
I was right.
**[20:38] Suiko**
About what?
**[20:40] Ibuki**
Kyou had a void in his heart because
he never got recognition from Ren.
**[20:46] Ibuki**
The Jammer was filling that void.
**[20:58] Ibuki**
It wasn't this distortion, either...
**[21:01] Ibuki**
When will I be forgiven for my sins?
**[21:08] Suiko**
"Anyone who closes his eyes to the past
is blind to the present."
**[21:12] Suiko**
Richard von Weizsäcker.
**[21:15] Ibuki**
Who's that?
**[21:16] Suiko**
A former president of Germany.
**[21:18] Suiko**
All you can do is learn from his example
and continue to be conscious of your sins.
**[21:23] Suiko**
Of course, continue to be conscious of me, too.
**[21:27] Ibuki**
Yeah, yeah.
**[21:30] Shuka**
Look! The ruined town...
**[21:36] Shuka**
It's going back to normal!
**[21:38] Emi**
Even major distortions like that can be undone.
**[21:42] Emi**
I'm sure Aichi can, too...
**[21:45] Shuka**
Yeah, I'm positive he'll go back to normal!
**[21:52] Ibuki**
I'm starving!
**[21:54] Ibuki**
Let's head back and get something to eat!
**[21:56] Emi/Shuka**
Agreed!
**[21:58] Suiko**
All right, maid guy,
that'll be three rice omelets.
**[22:00] Ibuki**
Hey, who are you calling "maid guy"?!
**[22:02] Suiko**
Aww, what happened to
being conscious of your sins?
**[22:05] Ibuki**
Darn it! I wanna get back to reality!
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Murakumo's
Stealth Rogue of Revelation, Yasuie!
***SIGN*** Stealth Rogue of Revelation, Yasuie
**[23:54] Narrator**
You choose two rear-guard units,
**[23:56] Narrator**
and call up to one card of the same name
for each from your deck or Drop Zone!
**[23:59] Narrator**
On top of that, you can discard two units
from your hand after attacking
**[24:03] Narrator**
to superior ride Ambush Demon Stealth Rogue,
Yasuie Tenma from the Drop Zone!
**[24:07] Narrator**
Try making a combo attack
using both of these powerful skills!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Ibuki**
My name is Kouji Ibuki.
**[24:17] Ibuki**
Men are all solitary Vanguard fighters.
**[24:19] Ibuki**
If you can have a few laughs
before taking six damage,
**[24:22] Ibuki**
that's enough out of life.
**[24:23] Ibuki**
But are you fine with this, Kouji Ibuki?!
**[24:25] Ibuki**
Spending every day treated as a gofer
by someone who claims to be an idol?!
**[24:29] Ibuki**
Forget this! I'm through with it!
**[24:31] Suiko**
What are you muttering by the door?
Go to the store already!
**[24:35] Suiko**
Also, get me a large pudding sundae
with whipped cream.
**[24:37] Suiko**
Cough, cough. Cough, cough. Cough, cough.
**[24:38] Ibuki**
You've been coughing since
last week. Are you okay?

You promised not to say that...

Hey, where's your sassy retort?!
**[00:23] Suiko**
I can feed myself the porridge.
**[00:27] Ibuki**
Uh-uh, this porridge is for *me*.

Why, you!

It's Revealed?! Magical Girls' Encounter!!
**[02:49] Emi**
There are so many more stars twinkling
in the sky than when we first met, Shuka.
**[02:54] Shuka**
Yeah, there are.
**[02:57] Emi**
Aichi!
**[03:13] Emi**
How can I get Aichi to come home?
**[03:17] Shuka**
Hello!
**[03:22] Shuka**
Hi there!
**[03:23] Shuka**
What're you doing here?
**[03:25] Emi**
That castle's...
**[03:30] Emi**
Never mind.
**[03:31] Emi**
I'm just thinking.
**[03:34] Shuka**
Mind if I sit here?
**[03:37] Emi**
No, go ahead.
**[04:08] Shuka**
Uh oh. They found me.
**[04:19] Emi**
Who are they?!
**[04:21] Shuka**
I think they're from that hill.
**[04:23] Emi**
Why are they chasing us?!
**[04:26] Emi**
What are you doing now?!
**[04:30] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[04:36] Shuka**
Realize!
**[04:45] Shuka**
I was afraid of that!
**[04:47] Emi**
They're closing in!
**[04:49] Emi**
Try that thing again!
**[04:51] Shuka**
What do I do?!
**[04:55] Shuka**
Why is it glowing?
**[04:57] Emi**
It's glowing?
**[05:06] Shuka**
Could it be...?
**[05:08] Shuka**
Here!
**[05:10] Shuka**
Hurry!
**[05:24] Emi**
Why am I dressed like this?!
**[05:30] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[05:36] Emi**
What is this?
**[05:38] Shuka**
Now say, "Realize!"
**[05:41] Emi**
What's "Realize"...?
**[05:42] Shuka**
Just say it! Quickly!
**[05:52] Emi**
Realize!
**[06:01] Shuka**
Wow! The Realize worked!
**[06:16] Shuka**
Thank you, Blaster Blade!
**[06:18] Emi**
"Blaster Blade"...?
**[06:35] Shuka**
So you can actually Realize!
**[06:39] Emi**
I can...? But how?
***SIGN*** Strawberry Festival
**[06:51] Emi**
Huh? Ibuki?
**[06:53] Shuka**
So you actually know how to shop?
**[06:57] Ibuki**
You two...
**[06:59] Ibuki**
Yes, I can do basic shopping, at least.
**[07:01] Ibuki**
Suiko has a bit of a cold.
**[07:03] Emi**
And you're delivering her groceries?
**[07:06] Emi**
That's so nice!
**[07:08] Ibuki**
Haven't I told you?
**[07:10] Ibuki**
You know that mansion at the top of the hill?
**[07:12] Ibuki**
That's where we live.
**[07:15] Emi**
You mean you live under the same roof?!
**[07:17] Shuka**
They're housemates! Squee!
**[07:21] Ibuki**
Don't let your precocious
imaginations run wild, brats.
**[07:24] Ibuki**
It's a big house, and we have separate rooms.
**[07:27] Emi**
Oh. Of course.
**[07:29] Shuka**
Suiko must have the patience of a saint
if she can stand living with this old guy!
**[07:34] Emi**
Shuka, don't talk about someone
like he's a boil or something!
**[07:38] Ibuki**
As always, your rebukes to your friend
end up zinging me, Sendou's little sister.
**[07:43] Ibuki**
Oh, that's right. Do you know
if there's a drug store around here?
**[07:48] Emi**
There is. I can show you there if you like.
**[07:51] Ibuki**
Thanks.
**[07:52] Ibuki**
Wait, the ice cream will melt...
**[07:55] Shuka**
Do you still have stuff to buy?
**[07:57] Emi**
You should always get the ice cream last.
**[08:00] Ibuki**
Why must I get trashed this much
during one single shopping trip...?
**[08:05] Shuka**
All right, I've got this.
**[08:07] Shuka**
I'll go on ahead with the ice cream.
**[08:11] Ibuki**
I appreciate it.
**[08:12] Ibuki**
The mansion gate is open.
**[08:14] Ibuki**
Suiko's on the second floor
in the room at the end of the hall.
**[08:17] Shuka**
Roger! Later!
**[08:29] Ibuki**
Does it bother you?
**[08:31] Emi**
Yes. Because Aichi is in there.
**[08:35] Ibuki**
Did Sendou play Vanguard in this world?
**[08:39] Emi**
No, I don't think so.
**[08:43] Ibuki**
If you take cards away from him, what's left?
**[08:49] Emi**
Just as I thought, this world is distorted.
**[08:51] Emi**
And Aichi isn't in his rightful form, either.
**[08:55] Ibuki**
Well, it definitely is distorted.
**[08:58] Ibuki**
That reminds me. How did you two
start fighting those Jammer things?
**[09:05] Emi**
Well... it all began when I first met Shuka.
**[09:13] Emi**
I don't know much about Shuka,
but she told me she's "picking flowers."
**[09:20] Ibuki**
Picking flowers?
**[09:23] Shuka**
My job is picking flowers.
**[09:25] Shuka**
I gather lost Vanguard cards
from all sorts of places.
**[09:30] Shuka**
Until that one time period...
**[09:32] Shuka**
Huh? I don't remember this path.
**[09:36] Shuka**
I was at a loss, but then I ran into you.
**[09:40] Shuka**
While I'd summoned units before,
they always disappeared right away.
**[09:44] Shuka**
You, though... You were
actually able to summon one.
**[09:48] Emi**
Oh...
**[09:50] Emi**
Wasn't that magic?
**[09:52] Shuka**
You mean, Realize?
**[09:54] Shuka**
I'm not sure I'd call it magic.
**[09:56] Emi**
Something came flying out of the cards.
If that's not magic, I don't know what is.
**[10:02] Shuka**
I guess. But if that's the case,
then you're the mage here.
**[10:06] Emi**
Me, a mage? No way.
**[10:09] Shuka**
Well, but this was the first time
I've seen the cards perform like that.
**[10:14] Emi**
I'm still not convinced.
**[10:16] Shuka**
Hey, how about showing me
more of your Realize power?
**[10:21] Shuka**
I have lots of cards.
**[10:27] Emi**
I don't really know how it works...
**[10:30] Emi**
Oh, I have a favor to ask, too.
**[10:32] Shuka**
A favor? What is it?
**[10:35] Emi**
My big brother is in that castle.
**[10:39] Emi**
I want to bring him home somehow.
**[10:42] Emi**
Can that strange power be used to do that?
**[10:47] Emi**
His name is Aichi.
**[10:50] Emi**
Here.
**[10:52] Shuka**
Huh? I've seen him before.
**[10:55] Emi**
Really?!
**[10:56] Shuka**
Your brother loves Vanguard, right?
**[10:58] Emi**
"Van"...? What's that?
**[11:04] Shuka**
This. This is Vanguard.
**[11:07] Emi**
That's Vanguard...?
**[11:10] Shuka**
Wait a second!
**[11:14] Shuka**
You mean...
**[11:17] Shuka**
I see!
**[11:23] Shuka**
I can't get back!
**[11:26] Shuka**
Did that castle appear from out of nowhere?
**[11:29] Emi**
I'm... not sure.
**[11:31] Shuka**
But ever since that castle was created,
your brother hasn't come home.
**[11:36] Shuka**
Is that true?
**[11:38] Emi**
Yes...
**[11:40] Shuka**
The distortion is especially large here.
**[11:43] Emi**
Distortion...?
**[11:44] Shuka**
Yeah. After all, your brother
isn't truly that kind of person.
**[11:49] Emi**
He isn't...? How do you know?
**[11:51] Shuka**
Look, I wouldn't share this with just anybody.
**[11:55] Shuka**
See, I can travel between the worlds!
**[11:59] Shuka**
And this world is extremely distorted!
**[12:02] Shuka**
Your real brother isn't the kind of person
who would hole up inside a castle.
**[12:06] Emi**
The real Aichi...? What do you mean?
**[12:10] Shuka**
Your real brother is beloved by all,
and he's great at playing Vanguard.
**[12:22] Emi**
Hey, I want to meet him!
Please let me meet that Aichi!
**[12:25] Shuka**
Let you meet him? I'd love to...
**[12:29] Shuka**
...but for now it's impossible,
since the "path" is blocked.
**[12:32] Emi**
Aren't there other paths?
**[12:34] Emi**
How do you find these paths?
**[12:44] Shuka**
A few of the stars are back
in their proper places,
**[12:47] Shuka**
but I've never seen that constellation before.
**[12:50] Emi**
Really?
**[12:51] Shuka**
I see. That's it!
**[12:53] Shuka**
Emi, how about working with me
to put the stars back in place?
**[12:57] Shuka**
We'll do it with your power and mine combined!
**[13:05] Emi**
They sunk in!
**[13:06] Shuka**
It's okay. The power of the constellations
can bring back the power of the staff and book.
**[13:12] Shuka**
With the book, I can summon cards.
**[13:15] Shuka**
And with the staff and your own power,
you can materialize the cards.
**[13:21] Emi**
What do we have to do
to put the stars in their proper places?
**[13:26] Shuka**
We travel about, correcting distortions.
**[13:30] Shuka**
One by one, thoroughly.
**[13:34] Emi**
Thoroughly...
**[13:39] Emi**
As one distortion is corrected...
**[13:42] Shuka**
...a new distortion will arise.
**[13:45] Shuka**
But unless we correct each, one by one...
**[13:49] Emi**
...it won't fix the distortions as a whole.
**[13:58] Shuka**
If we correct the distortions in this world,
your brother will return to normal.
**[14:04] Shuka**
Then I'm sure to find my "path" back home!
***SIGN*** For pedestrians and bicyclists
**[14:15] Ibuki**
I thought she was no ordinary girl,
but that's what she really is?
**[14:21] Emi**
What you said and what Shuka said line up.
**[14:27] Ibuki**
About Sendou?
**[14:30] Emi**
Is it true that Aichi loves Vanguard
and is beloved by everyone?
**[14:35] Ibuki**
Yeah, at least from what I've seen.
**[14:40] Emi**
Good. Shuka told me there really is
another Aichi who exists elsewhere
**[14:46] Emi**
and that he loves Vanguard,
but it's so hard for me to imagine.
**[14:51] Ibuki**
Well, I don't blame you
if you find that unbelievable.
**[14:56] Emi**
I want to see Aichi again, the one
who used to laugh with me when I was little.
**[15:05] Ibuki**
I see. I can understand that.
**[15:11] Emi**
Thank you, Ibuki,
**[15:13] Emi**
for always fighting by our side.
**[15:22] Emi**
No, really! You're surprisingly helpful!
**[15:25] Ibuki**
"Surprisingly"?
**[15:26] Emi**
Sorry! But I do appreciate your efforts.
**[15:55] Shuka**
Sanctuary...
**[16:13] Suiko**
You...
**[16:15] Suiko**
What are you doing here?!
**[16:20] Shuka**
A-Are you okay, ma'am?!
**[16:24] Suiko**
"M-Ma'am"?!
**[16:42] Shuka**
Sorry. The ice cream didn't come with a spoon,
so I had to check in your kitchen.
**[16:47] Suiko**
I was pretty startled to find someone
rummaging through the drawers.
**[16:51] Shuka**
My bad. The other two are at the drug store.
**[16:55] Suiko**
Oh.
**[16:58] Shuka**
Um, are the two of you dati--
**[17:02] Suiko**
No! Don't be ridiculous!
**[17:03] Suiko**
There's zero chance of that!
It's beyond the realm of possibility!
**[17:06] Suiko**
I mean, we're completely incompatible!
**[17:08] Shuka**
You don't need to deny it so strongly...
**[17:14] Shuka**
Want the ice cream?
**[17:19] Suiko**
Yes.
**[17:20] Shuka**
Here you go. Open wide.
**[17:33] Suiko**
I see.
**[17:34] Suiko**
So that's what happened.
**[17:36] Shuka**
Why did you two come to this world?
**[17:40] Suiko**
Because a distortion has
appeared in our world, too.
**[17:45] Suiko**
Someone dear to me disappeared.
**[17:49] Suiko**
I came here to get him back.
**[17:53] Suiko**
Or rather, I was brought here.
**[17:55] Shuka**
If you correct the distortion here,
will you be able to go back?
**[17:59] Suiko**
Probably.
**[18:00] Shuka**
That's just like with Emi.
**[18:05] Suiko**
You can travel through time, can't you?
**[18:08] Shuka**
Yes.
**[18:09] Suiko**
I'm going to ask you right out. What are you?
**[18:12] Shuka**
I'm one of the Vanguard Elementals.
**[18:15] Suiko**
An Elemental? Then you're not human?
**[18:19] Shuka**
That's right. But please don't tell Emi.
**[18:23] Shuka**
She might lose trust in me.
**[18:28] Suiko**
It's already hard enough to work with someone
who can do magic and time travel.
**[18:34] Shuka**
Exactly.
**[18:36] Suiko**
Why are you helping Emi?
**[18:39] Shuka**
I may be helping her,
but really she's the one helping me.
**[18:43] Shuka**
Helping me search for the "path" home.
**[18:45] Shuka**
Also, she's better able to sense
the card units' essences than I am.
**[18:51] Suiko**
Has Emi always had that ability?
**[18:54] Shuka**
I don't know.
**[18:56] Shuka**
But without Emi, I wouldn't have...
**[19:00] Suiko**
...been able to manifest them.
**[19:02] Suiko**
Right?
**[19:05] Emi**
We may not be able to get
back inside of Sanctuary.
**[19:09] Ibuki**
Then it'd probably be impossible for me, too.
**[19:12] Emi**
Have you been in there?
**[19:14] Ibuki**
Once.
**[19:16] Ibuki**
Come to think of it, has Sendou
forgotten about Blaster Blade, too?
**[19:21] Emi**
I don't know.
**[19:23] Emi**
When we were inside Sanctuary,
we summoned Blaster Blade.
**[19:28] Emi**
Aichi didn't say anything then.
**[19:31] Ibuki**
To anyone who uses Royal Paladin,
Blaster Blade is an indispensable card.
**[19:37] Emi**
Really?
**[19:38] Ibuki**
Yeah. Blaster Blade was invaluable to him.
**[19:44] Ibuki**
And yet...
**[19:47] Emi**
Not to this Aichi.
**[19:50] Ibuki**
Yeah.
**[19:55] Ibuki**
Let's go.
**[19:58] Ibuki**
All we can do is keep moving forward.
**[20:02] Emi**
Right!
**[20:05] Suiko**
Why did you confide in me
that you're an Elemental?
**[20:08] Shuka**
Well, ma'am--
**[20:16] Shuka**
I mean, it's because you
kind of remind me of myself, miss!
**[20:20] Shuka**
You have the scent of one who'd watch warmly
over Vanguard. As in, a wonderful fragrance.
**[20:26] Suiko**
You don't say.
**[20:29] Suiko**
This is a tough call.
Can I trust everything she's saying?
**[20:36] Emi**
Sorry for the intrusion.
**[20:38] Shuka**
Hi!
**[20:41] Ibuki**
Here.
**[20:46] Suiko**
Not this stuff!
**[20:50] Suiko**
I need the mini-size
cooling gel strip, not large.
**[20:54] Suiko**
And I asked for the
Super Soy Sauce Pork Bone Ramen,
**[20:57] Suiko**
*not* the Rich Jumbo Pork Bone Ramen!
**[21:00] Ibuki**
You... Once you're healthy again,
I'll get back at you for this.
**[21:06] Suiko**
Shuka, would you keep an eye on him?
**[21:09] Suiko**
He even screws up boiling water.
**[21:11] Shuka**
What, seriously?! Sure thing!
**[21:16] Suiko**
Emi, I want to ask you something.
**[21:20] Suiko**
There's nothing to be afraid of.
**[21:22] Suiko**
Shuka told me a lot about
what you two have been through.
**[21:26] Suiko**
I just want to confirm something.
**[21:30] Emi**
Go ahead.
**[21:45] Shuka**
You will appear one of these days,
won't you, magic warrior?
**[22:04] Ren**
Now, then...
**[22:09] Ren**
What shall I do next?
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Dark Irregulars'
Scharhrot Vampir!
***SIGN*** Scharhrot Vampir
**[23:53] Narrator**
At the start of the battle phase,
for every card in the Soul,
**[23:56] Narrator**
your front-row units get +1000 power!
**[23:58] Narrator**
On top of that, when Scharhrot attacks,
you can stand one of your units!
**[24:02] Narrator**
And if there are 13 or more cards in the Soul,
**[24:04] Narrator**
you can stand an additional unit!
**[24:07] Narrator**
Stand your fortified units
and make a combo attack!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Shuka**
Sir, do you know Misaki Tokura?
**[24:18] Ibuki**
She goes to Miyaji Academy, right?
**[24:20] Ibuki**
She's blunt and has a menacing look.
**[24:21] Ibuki**
She's not an old-school delinquent,
despite wearing a long skirt
**[24:24] Ibuki**
that drags on the ground as she walks.
**[24:26] Ibuki**
Rumor has it she's called the "Backstage Boss."
**[24:29] Shuka**
The Misaki I saw was a klutz who wore
really thick glasses and was bad at directions.
**[24:35] Ibuki**
Wh-What?!
**[24:37] Ibuki**
Next time on Vanguard: "Misaki's Makeover!"
**[24:40] Shuka**
Girls will change for the sake of love!

**[00:03] Ibuki**
This world really is crazy.
**[00:06] Suiko**
You only just noticed that?
**[00:09] Ibuki**
Ren's become completely unrecognizable!
**[00:12] Ibuki**
Where'd he get that outfit?
**[00:14] Ibuki**
And he's also calling himself "Mask, the Dark."
**[00:18] Ibuki**
"The knight who gallops through the darkness."
**[00:21] Suiko**
I'll admit his shoulder pads stick out too much.
**[00:24] Suiko**
Can he even walk into a restroom with those?
**[00:27] Ibuki**
That's the least of it!
**[00:28] Suiko**
I'd say he's possessed by a Jammer,
**[00:30] Suiko**
if only I had any conviction about that.
**[00:33] Ibuki**
Yeah. He seems different from
the Jammers we've defeated so far.
**[00:38] Ibuki**
He's seriously distorted.
**[00:40] Ibuki**
Well, Sendou is still
the biggest distortion by far,
**[00:44] Ibuki**
but Ren's role in all this
is a major mystery, too.
**[00:48] Suiko**
Speaking of mysteries, there's also
that card I'd never seen before.
**[00:51] Ibuki**
What card?
**[00:52] Suiko**
You know, the one Shuka summoned,
but then it didn't do anything.
**[00:57] Ibuki**
It was called "Majesty Lord Blaster"
or something, wasn't it?
**[01:01] Suiko**
Sound familiar?
**[01:03] Ibuki**
Never heard of it.
**[01:04] Suiko**
Fat lot of good you are.
**[01:06] Ibuki**
Excuse me?!
**[01:07] Suiko**
I feel there's some hidden significance...
**[01:11] Suiko**
...to the shoulder pads.
**[01:12] Ibuki**
What did I tell you?!
**[01:14] Suiko**
One mystery after another...
**[01:16] Suiko**
I can't predict what lies ahead.
**[01:21] Ibuki**
Even so, if we wanna get back to our
own world, we've gotta keep it going here.
**[01:27] Suiko**
You're right about that.

**[03:11] Emi**
The jungle gym!
**[03:12] Shuka**
You're such a child, Emi.
**[03:15] Emi**
That's not why!
**[03:16] Emi**
They took this down around when
I first started middle school.
**[03:20] Emi**
It was supposedly too dangerous.
**[03:22] Shuka**
Lost to the flow of time, huh?
**[03:25] Emi**
Which means we must be somewhere during
my grade school days. Makes me feel nostalgic.
**[03:30] Emi**
I was so young back then...
**[03:40] Ibuki**
Ow!
**[03:42] Suiko**
Pathetic. Learn from a top idol's agility.
**[03:45] Ibuki**
Oh, shut up!
**[03:47] Suiko**
More importantly, are you okay?!
**[03:49] Girl**
M-My glasses, my glasses...
**[03:52] Ibuki**
W-Wait, aren't you...?
**[03:54] Misaki**
Um, I'm so sorry!
**[03:57] Misaki**
Are you hurt?!
**[03:59] Suiko**
We're fine. Don't worry about us.
**[04:01] Ibuki**
Speak for yourself!
**[04:03] Misaki**
Thank goodness.
**[04:04] Misaki**
But still, I'm sorry... I'm such a klutz.
**[04:08] Misaki**
Again, my apologies!
**[04:10] Suiko**
That girl...
**[04:13] Suiko**
...really is a klutz.
**[04:15] Emi**
It could happen to anyone.
**[04:17] Misaki**
Thank you!
**[04:19] Shuka/Emi**
Take care!
**[04:21] Ibuki**
You two materialized pretty quick.
**[04:23] Shuka**
Don't talk about us like we're ghosts!
**[04:27] Ibuki**
But it looks like you missed the fact
that our distortion this time is that girl.
**[04:33] Emi**
Her?!
**[04:35] Ibuki**
She's Misaki Tokura.
**[04:38] Ibuki**
Part of Sendou's crowd.
**[04:40] Emi**
She and Aichi?!
**[04:43] Suiko**
Ah, yes. I remember now!
**[04:46] Ibuki**
Right. Misaki Tokura should be...
**[04:50] Ibuki**
...a surly, yo-yo-wielding she-devil in
a long skirt, more like a gang boss's stooge.
**[04:59] Ibuki**
And yet she's a nerd.
That's undeniably the distortion here.
**[05:04] Suiko**
I'd agree. At least, there's a high probability
that she's been possessed by a Jammer.
**[05:08] Shuka**
Hey, don't leave us behind!
**[05:11] Emi**
She asked us the way to the library.
**[05:15] Shuka**
How come she can't remember how to get there
when she goes every day? That's strange.
**[05:21] Suiko**
The library...
**[05:22] Ibuki**
All right. Let's go after her.
**[05:33] Emi**
What do you think, Shuka?
**[05:35] Ibuki**
Do you see any Jammer marks on her?
**[05:38] Shuka**
I can't see that well from here.
**[05:44] Emi**
*She's* a Jammer?
**[05:47] Emi**
I mean, she's just studying.
**[05:49] Shuka**
Emi, our enemies are Jammers.
**[05:52] Shuka**
We don't know what true nature
is lurking just below the surface.
**[05:56] Emi**
Good point.
**[05:57] Shuka**
Let's go!
**[05:58] Ibuki**
Wait!
**[06:00] Emi**
Miss!
**[06:01] Misaki**
Oh, you two again. Is something the matter?
**[06:05] Emi**
Um, I think it's commendable
that you're studying so hard.
**[06:11] Shuka**
That's not why we're here!
**[06:13] Shuka**
Show your true self, Jammer!
**[06:17] Shuka**
Emi, let's transform!
**[06:18] Emi**
R-Right!
**[06:20] Suiko**
Wait, they're going to do it here?!
**[06:23] Ibuki**
Cut it out, you dummies!
**[06:25] Librarian**
Be quiet in the library!
**[06:28] Emi**
Sorry!
**[06:29] Shuka**
Let's do it, Emi!
**[06:31] Shuka**
Card Fairy, Shuka!
**[06:34] Emi**
Magical girl...
**[06:39] Librarian**
Mind yourselves!
**[06:41] Ibuki**
Don't transform in a place like this!
**[06:43] Suiko**
What are you doing?!
**[06:48] Librarian**
Do you know these kids?
**[06:52] Misaki**
Well, yes...
**[06:58] Shuka**
Jammer!
**[06:59] Shuka**
Again, show your true self!
**[07:03] Misaki**
What are you talking about?
**[07:05] Misaki**
Oh, you're the two I bumped into earlier.
**[07:08] Suiko**
You can drop the act now.
**[07:11] Suiko**
We know you're a Jammer,
a distortion in this world.
**[07:16] Misaki**
I hear your words, but I still
can't make any sense of them.
**[07:20] Ibuki**
Hey, she doesn't seem like any of
the Jammers we've encountered before.
**[07:23] Emi**
T-True...
**[07:24] Shuka**
But we have to confirm it either way!
**[07:27] Misaki**
Excuse me.
**[07:29] Misaki**
What do you mean by calling me a "bother"?
**[07:33] Misaki**
I really have to study.
**[07:36] Misaki**
You're the ones being a "bother" to me!
**[07:39] Shuka**
Not "bother," "jammer"!
**[07:41] Misaki**
I have to study hard now so that
I can eventually expand the shop.
**[07:46] Ibuki**
You're talking about Capital, right?
**[07:49] Misaki**
Yes. My uncle raised me, and he runs the shop.
**[07:53] Misaki**
I'll improve the shop, open up several more,
and eventually make it a national franchise.
**[08:01] Misaki**
Then he'll never worry about going hungry!
**[08:06] Ibuki**
In other words, you want to help spread
Cardfighting throughout the world, right?
**[08:11] Ibuki**
Nothing wrong with that at all!
**[08:13] Suiko**
Don't be swayed so easily!
**[08:16] Ibuki**
But in this world, anyone who puts
any thought into Cardfighting is precious!
**[08:21] Misaki**
Um, may I go now?
**[08:24] Misaki**
I'd like to get back to my studies.
**[08:28] Ibuki**
This is way different from the eccentric
behavior we've come across so far.
**[08:32] Emi**
What do you think, Shuka?
**[08:44] Ibuki**
This time, don't make a scene!
**[08:46] Shuka**
We know!
**[08:52] Misaki**
In 1582, during the Honnou-ji Incident...
**[08:56] Misaki**
...Nobunaga died while
wearing strawberry underpants...
**[09:06] Emi**
Bathroom break?
**[09:09] Ibuki**
So she's working on memorizing history?
**[09:12] Ibuki**
I knew something was off.
**[09:14] Ibuki**
Memorizing should be a cinch for Tokura.
**[09:18] Ibuki**
She has a photographic memory.
**[09:21] Emi**
Photographic memory?
**[09:23] Suiko**
Um, that's the astounding ability to recall
everything one has ever seen or heard.
**[09:30] Emi**
Wow...
**[09:31] Shuka**
But if she doesn't have that,
then she must be a Jammer!
**[09:34] Emi**
She's back!
**[09:40] Misaki**
Who wore strawberry underpants again...?
**[09:43] Misaki**
Oh dear, it's already slipped my mind.
**[09:46] Ibuki**
Hey, she forgot that already!
**[09:49] Suiko**
She has a memory like a sieve.
**[09:52] Misaki**
Who had banana underpants...
**[09:54] Misaki**
Norisuke!
**[09:57] Ibuki**
She's hopeless.
**[10:00] Misaki**
But I can't give up!
**[10:02] Shuka**
Emi, let's take her out already!
**[10:06] Emi**
Let's wait and see for a bit longer.
***SIGN*** High School Math Made Easy
**[10:16] All**
Stare...
**[10:18] Ibuki**
Now she's getting a math reference book.
**[10:21] Shuka**
She really does seem studious.
**[10:24] Suiko**
Yes...
**[10:35] Ibuki**
She's going inside Card Capital.
**[10:42] Ibuki**
Even more studying?!
**[10:44] Shuka**
Now that's determination!
**[10:46] Suiko**
True, not many people could do that.
**[10:51] Emi**
She's working so hard for someone else's sake...
**[10:58] Suiko**
She isn't behaving at all like a Jammer.
**[11:02] Ibuki**
Nope. She's just like a girl
who's serious to a fault.
**[11:06] Shuka**
But her personality has changed, right?
**[11:09] Shuka**
It must be because of a Jammer!
**[11:10] Emi**
But even if that's true...
Even if Misaki is a Jammer...
**[11:15] Emi**
...would it be right of us to defeat her?
**[11:18] Shuka**
Wh-What are you saying?!
**[11:20] Shuka**
Jammers must be defeated!
**[11:23] Emi**
But...
**[11:24] Shuka**
Don't you want your brother back to normal?!
**[11:28] Emi**
Of course I want Aichi back to normal!
**[11:31] Emi**
But the Misaki of this world...
**[11:34] Emi**
...is just studying really hard!
**[11:38] Emi**
She isn't interfering with anyone!
**[11:41] Emi**
She's just working hard
to give her uncle an easier life.
**[11:45] Emi**
If we defeat her, all of
that effort would be for nothing.
**[11:48] Emi**
I'd feel so bad for her...
**[11:50] Shuka**
So bad you don't mind your brother staying
in there forever, and never seeing him again?!
**[11:58] Emi**
All this time, I've done as you asked
and banished the Jammers,
**[12:03] Emi**
but will that really bring Aichi back?!
**[12:05] Shuka**
Wha?! We've been fighting side by side!
**[12:10] Emi**
I've made up my mind.
**[12:11] Emi**
I'm going to support Misaki.
**[12:14] Emi**
I'll help her study!
**[12:17] Ibuki**
Hey!
**[12:18] Shuka**
Emi, wait!
**[12:40] Shin**
Damage...
**[12:44] Shin**
I have to fight...
**[12:49] Emi**
That was easy enough for me to say,
but can I really help her out?
**[12:54] Emi**
No, there must be something I can do!
**[13:00] Emi**
Is anyone here?!
**[13:03] Emi**
This is Card Capital?
**[13:05] Emi**
The place where Aichi had
Cardfights in the real history?
**[13:11] Emi**
Anyone here?
**[13:18] Emi**
Um, are you Misaki's uncle?
**[13:21] Shin**
Yes, that's right.
**[13:23] Shin**
Call me "Manager."
**[13:26] Shin**
I haven't seen you before.
**[13:28] Shin**
Are you a friend of Misaki?
**[13:30] Emi**
I-I'm Emi Sendou.
**[13:33] Shin**
Emi.
**[13:35] Shin**
Oh, yes. You came at a good time.
**[13:37] Shin**
If you don't mind, would you help me with this?
**[13:40] Emi**
A deck case?
**[13:42] Shin**
A croquette.
**[13:44] Emi**
Croquette?!
**[13:46] Emi**
Um, but I came to help Misaki study...
**[13:49] Shin**
Oh, yes. Misaki is studying right now.
**[13:54] Shin**
She's working hard to get smart so she can
expand this shop, open up other ones,
**[13:59] Shin**
and eventually have a nationwide franchise.
**[14:04] Shin**
Then I'll never worry about going hungry,
and just sell croquettes the rest of my life.
**[14:10] Emi**
U-Um...
**[14:12] Shin**
Except...
**[14:14] Shin**
I don't wanna sell croquettes!
**[14:17] Shin**
I wanna sell cards!
**[14:21] Shin**
I wanna have Cardfights!
**[14:23] Shin**
I wanna shuffle cards, not stir meat!
**[14:26] Shin**
I'm sick of spending my days
kneading croquette ingredients!
**[14:30] Emi**
B-But Misaki said that
she'll expand the shop for you.
**[14:35] Shin**
I appreciate that, but why croquettes?!
And why rectangular ones at that?!
**[14:41] Shin**
I can't stand my own manual dexterity!
**[14:44] Emi**
Oh, dear...
**[14:45] Shin**
So, Emi, don't just stand there.
**[14:50] Shin**
Mold this ground meat and potato
into a rectangular shape,
**[14:53] Shin**
and cover it generously with breadcrumbs.
**[14:56] Shin**
Put your heart into it,
and you'll have one croquette.
**[15:03] Misaki**
Good evening.
**[15:05] Misaki**
So your name is Emi, huh?
**[15:08] Emi**
M-Misaki...
**[15:11] Misaki**
Will you help me study?
**[15:15] Misaki**
Or will you help Shin make croquettes?
**[15:19] Misaki**
Which do you prefer?
**[15:21] Emi**
Nooooo!
**[15:38] Ibuki**
She didn't come back last night!
**[15:42] Shuka**
Oh, Emi...
**[15:45] Suiko**
That settles it.
**[15:46] Suiko**
Misaki Tokura is a Jammer,
and she took Emi hostage.
**[15:51] Shuka**
Emi's being held hostage?!
**[15:53] Shuka**
W-We have to rescue her!
**[15:55] Ibuki**
All right! Our battleground is Card Capital!
**[15:58] Ibuki**
I can't wait to put my skills to use!
**[16:04] Ibuki**
M-Meat Capital?!
**[16:08] Suiko**
This couldn't be more distorted.
**[16:12] Shuka**
It smells delicious!
**[16:13] Ibuki**
Shut up!
**[16:14] Ibuki**
What the heck is "Meat Capital"?!
**[16:16] Ibuki**
This is supposed to be Card Capital!
**[16:18] Suiko**
Want to do an eating contest?
**[16:20] Ibuki**
Of course not!
**[16:22] Ibuki**
A-And here I thought
I'd finally get to have a Cardfight!
**[16:31] Misaki**
Welcome!
**[16:33] Misaki**
Can I interest you in Meat Capital's
specialty, Vanguard Croquettes?
**[16:38] Ibuki**
Specialty, my foot! Those look like decks!
**[16:42] Ibuki**
There's no way they taste good!
**[16:47] Misaki**
It's good, right?
**[16:49] Ibuki**
Okay, we'll call it a draw! But that aside...
**[16:54] Ibuki**
You have a photographic memory.
**[16:57] Ibuki**
Use that ability to have a Cardfight with me!
**[17:01] Misaki**
I don't know what to tell you.
**[17:03] Misaki**
I just want to expand Meat Capital
and not worry about going hungry...
**[17:10] Misaki**
I don't know anything about
this Cardfight of yours.
**[17:13] Ibuki**
What?!
**[17:14] Shuka**
Enough of this back and forth!
**[17:17] Shuka**
Just give us back Emi!
**[17:19] Suiko**
Show your true colors, Jammer!
**[17:22] Misaki**
I have no idea what you mean.
**[17:32] Ibuki**
The backwards J!
**[17:34] Shuka**
She really is the Jammer!
**[17:40] Suiko**
Mask, the Shoulder Pads is here!
**[17:42] Ren**
That'f Mafk, the Dark!
**[17:48] Misaki**
N-Now what?!
**[17:50] Misaki**
What's with that outfit?!
Especially the shoulder pads!
**[17:54] Suiko**
I'm curious about that, too!
**[17:57] Ren**
You're good at feigning ignorance,
I'll give you that.
**[18:02] Ren**
But you can't fool me, Jammer.
**[18:06] Ren**
You've blocked Misa-Q's recall so she can't
use her amazing photographic memory,
**[18:14] Ren**
and also hijacked her consciousness.
**[18:19] Shuka**
She's in there, huh? Emi!
**[18:25] Shin**
Oh, welcome.
**[18:27] Emi**
Sorry. They're not ready yet.
**[18:31] Shuka**
Emi!
**[18:33] Shuka**
What are you talking about, Emi?!
Come to your senses!
**[18:36] Shuka**
Snap out of it!
**[18:39] Emi**
Shuka? What's wrong?
**[18:41] Emi**
What am I doing here?!
**[18:43] Shuka**
I'll explain later! Come on, transform!
**[18:46] Emi**
Right!
**[18:52] Emi**
Magical Girl Emi!
**[18:55] Shuka**
Card Fairy, Shuka!
**[19:01] Emi/Shuka**
Together, we are Blaster Pair!
**[19:07] Emi/Shuka**
"if," stand up!
**[19:11] Misaki**
Jammer...
**[19:18] Misaki**
Jammer!
**[19:21] Suiko**
She finally revealed her true self!
**[19:23] Ibuki**
Goddess of the Full Moon, Tsukuyomi!
**[19:25] Shuka**
Emi, use this!
**[19:29] Emi**
Nooo!
**[19:30] Emi**
No more croquettes!
**[19:33] Shuka**
Emi, get ahold of yourself!
**[19:35] Ibuki**
Listen! The nerdy Misaki Tokura is a sham
put on by the mind-hijacking Jammer!
**[19:40] Ibuki**
Don't you want her back to her true self?!
**[19:45] Emi**
Aichi...
**[19:48] Emi**
Shuka! Give me a card!
**[19:51] Shuka**
Emi, here's this week's final card!
**[19:56] Emi**
Elemental Calling!
**[19:58] Emi**
Realize!
**[20:02] Emi**
Supreme Heavenly Battle Deity, Susanoo!
**[20:07] Misaki**
Jammer!
**[20:14] Misaki**
J-J-J-Jammm!
**[20:18] Misaki**
JAMMERRR!
**[20:33] Misaki**
Ow...
**[20:35] Misaki**
Huh? What was I doing?
**[20:40] Misaki**
What are these?
**[20:44] Misaki**
Why am I dressed like this?!
**[20:47] Man**
Hello?
**[20:48] Man**
Excuse me, but could you tell me
the way to the library?
**[20:54] Misaki**
Follow this street to the end and turn right.
**[20:58] Misaki**
At the intersection 48 meters ahead,
turn left, and then, in 83 meters...
**[21:00] Man**
I can't remember all that.
**[21:02] Misaki**
Then I'll walk you there.
**[21:06] Man**
You're a very kind young lady.
**[21:08] Misaki**
This way.
**[21:15] Ibuki**
Looks like she's back to normal.
**[21:19] Suiko**
Uh huh.
**[21:20] Emi**
So the real Misaki is nice, too.
**[21:24] Shuka**
Isn't that great, Emi?
**[21:25] Emi**
Yep!
**[21:41] Ibuki**
It wasn't this distortion, either.
**[21:44] Shuka**
But if we keep fixing
each distortion, one by one,
**[21:48] Shuka**
eventually all of history will be correct,
and your brother will return!
**[21:53] Shuka**
So let's keep at it, Emi!
**[21:55] Emi**
Yeah...!
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Oracle Think Tank's
Supreme Heavenly Battle Deity, Susanoo!
***SIGN*** Supreme Heavenly Battle Deity, Susanoo
**[23:53] Narrator**
When you ride it, look at
the top two cards of your deck
**[23:56] Narrator**
and place whichever one you like at the top.
**[23:58] Narrator**
Also, you can use its other skill
to reveal the top two cards of your deck,
**[24:02] Narrator**
add them to your hand, and activate
any trigger effects they may have.
**[24:05] Narrator**
If the opponent's Vanguard is at least grade 3,
you get three cards instead of two!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Ibuki**
I never thought I'd see Misaki Tokura like that.
**[24:20] Ibuki**
And in that mini-skirt uniform...
**[24:21] Suiko**
You'd look great in a uniform, too.
An adorable maid's outfit.
**[24:25] Ibuki**
While for you, a school uniform is a stret--
**[24:28] Suiko**
Well, next week will feature
that man of the sea, Gouki Daimonji.
**[24:31] Ibuki**
Gouki's heart is tormented by
the innocent smile of the boy, Kamui.
**[24:36] Suiko**
Torn between Cardfight and their
forbidden love, which will they choose?
***SIGN*** if 9
Not Handsome?! Call Forth the Passion!!
**[24:40] Suiko**
Wait, what is this? What does it mean?
**[24:42] Ibuki**
That's too thrilling
for early in the morning!

**[00:02] Shuka**
Emi, over here!
**[00:03] Shuka**
Look at this!
**[00:06] Emi**
"Cardshop Voyage"...
**[00:08] Emi**
That's a big shop.
**[00:10] Shuka**
Let's go in!
**[00:17] Gouki**
Here I come, Kamui!
**[00:19] Kamui**
Bring it, Gouki!
**[00:21] Emi**
They're so tense!
**[00:24] Shuka**
Yeah...
**[00:25] Ibuki**
Huh? You two!
**[00:29] Emi**
If you two are here,
then the current distortion is...
**[00:35] Suiko**
Gouki Daimonji.
**[00:35] Gouki**
Basskirk attacks your Vanguard!
**[00:36] Suiko**
He's such a formidable player
that he won the Asia Circuit.
**[00:41] Suiko**
The boy is Kamui Katsuragi.
**[00:43] Suiko**
After losing to Aichi Sendou,
this grade school student became devoted to him.
**[00:49] Emi**
Devoted to Aichi?
**[00:51] Suiko**
It looks like this is a time period
from before he met Aichi.
**[00:54] Gouki**
That ends my turn.
**[00:57] Shuka**
Which of them is stronger?
**[00:58] Ibuki**
I can't imagine that brat winning.
**[01:02] Kamui**
Perfect Raizer attacks your Vanguard!
**[01:05] Gouki**
No guard!
**[01:07] Gouki**
Damage check!
**[01:10] Gouki**
Second check...
**[01:18] Gouki**
No trigger...
**[01:20] Emi**
Wow! He won!
**[01:22] Shuka**
And you said he wouldn't...
**[01:25] Ibuki**
H-He was just lucky.
**[01:26] Kamui**
Well, Gouki?! That makes
999 wins in a row for me!
**[01:32] Shuka**
Just lucky, huh?
**[01:35] Ibuki**
It must be this time period's--
**[01:38] Ibuki**
Wha...?
**[03:16] Gouki**
I wore this to get fired up,
but it's just no use!
**[03:22] Ibuki**
The Gouki Daimonji I know
isn't a crybaby like this.
**[03:27] Ibuki**
He has to be the Jammer.
**[03:29] Suiko**
I would think.
**[03:30] Suiko**
It seems he would normally be
wearing a sleeveless shirt.
**[03:35] Ibuki**
There's mindless trivia like that in your book?
**[03:37] Kamui**
Gouki... Just give up already.
**[03:41] Gouki**
I refuse to throw in the towel!
**[03:43] Gouki**
I'll defeat you next time, for sure!
**[03:46] Kamui**
That's the spirit!
**[03:49] Gouki**
Oh, Kamui!
**[03:50] Gouki**
Yes, definitely next time...
**[04:01] Shuka**
Emi!
**[04:01] Shuka**
That porcupine-head is staring at you!
**[04:10] Shuka**
Maybe he likes you?!
**[04:14] Kamui**
Her name is Miss Emi?!
**[04:16] Kamui**
A lovely name that fits her perfectly.
**[04:20] Gouki**
Kamui, you can't be...?
**[04:23] Gouki**
Kamui! You'll fight me once more, won't you?!
**[04:27] Gouki**
Kamui!
**[04:29] Kamui**
What, Gouki?!
**[04:30] Kamui**
I don't care about fighting you again!
**[04:35] Kamui**
Excuse me, Miss Emi!
**[04:37] Emi**
Yes?
**[04:38] Kamui**
I-If you'd like...
**[04:40] Kamui**
I mean, if you don't mind,
would you play Vanguard...
**[04:45] Gouki**
Kamui, you dummy!
**[04:55] Kamui**
Wh-What's with him?
**[04:58] Ibuki**
I'm not quite sure of the dynamics here,
but we need to reveal his true identity.
***SIGN*** if 9
Not Handsome?! Call Forth the Passion!!
**[05:18] Gouki**
Who are you?!
**[05:19] Ibuki**
A Vanguard fighter, just passing by.
**[05:22] Ibuki**
That was a good fight.
**[05:26] Gouki**
But I've never beaten Kamui, not even once.
**[05:29] Gouki**
And I doubt I ever will defeat him.
**[05:33] Ibuki**
Certainly, if you convince yourself
you'll never win, you definitely never will.
**[05:39] Ibuki**
So you might as well think,
"I'm gonna win for sure!"
**[05:42] Ibuki**
Why not convince yourself of that?
**[05:46] Gouki**
You've got a point.
**[05:48] Gouki**
I idolize Kamui.
**[05:52] Ibuki**
What?! That came out of the blue.
**[05:55] Gouki**
I swear I'll get stronger, and then,
someday, I'll beat my idol Kamui!
**[06:03] Gouki**
I'll work on convincing myself of that.
**[06:06] Ibuki**
What did you just say?
**[06:08] Ibuki**
You said, "I swear I'll beat him
someday," didn't you?
**[06:12] Gouki**
Y-Yes...
**[06:13] Shuka**
Huh?
**[06:15] Shuka**
What the heck? You haven't revealed
his identity as a Jammer yet?
**[06:20] Ibuki**
Unfortunately, he isn't a Jammer.
**[06:25] Suiko**
You're the one who said he was a Jammer!
**[06:28] Ibuki**
He said something like, "I swear I'll beat
that Kamui kid at Vanguard someday!"
**[06:32] Ibuki**
He wants to convince himself of that.
**[06:34] Ibuki**
A Jammer would never think that way.
**[06:37] Ibuki**
And why? Jammers are the enemies of Vanguard!
**[06:44] Ibuki**
...What?
**[06:46] Shuka**
That's the first decent thing
I've ever heard you say.
**[06:48] Ibuki**
How is it the first?!
**[06:50] Emi**
Shuka, he does say good things on occasion.
**[06:53] Ibuki**
That's not very supportive!
**[06:55] Suiko**
Anyway, could you get back
to what you were saying?
**[06:57] Ibuki**
Right!
**[06:59] Ibuki**
Gouki!
**[07:01] Ibuki**
You wanna get stronger, right?!
**[07:03] Ibuki**
Strong enough to beat Kamui, right?!
**[07:06] Gouki**
Y-Yes! I want to win!
**[07:09] Ibuki**
All right! I'll see to it that you beat Kamui!
**[07:12] Ibuki**
From this moment on, I'll be your coach!
**[07:16] Gouki**
My coach...
**[07:19] Gouki**
Please do, Coach!
**[07:21] Ibuki**
We'll start with... one thousand placings!
**[07:28] Ibuki**
One! Two! Three! Four!
**[07:33] Ibuki**
What are you doing, Gouki?!
**[07:36] Gouki**
S-Sorry, Coach!
**[07:38] Gouki**
One! Two! Three!
**[07:41] Ibuki**
Harmonics Messiah attacks!
**[07:45] The Two**
Three hundred forty-eight! Three hundred
forty-nine! Three hundred fifty!
**[07:50] Ibuki**
Granblue's specialty is turning
the situation to your advantage
**[07:54] Ibuki**
by increasing the number of cards
in your Drop Zone.
**[07:56] Gouki**
I knew *that* much already!
**[07:59] Gouki**
Seven hundred twenty-two! Seven hundred
twenty-three! Seven hundred twenty-four!
**[08:04] Gouki**
Why not use this...
**[08:06] Gouki**
...to increase the number of units
you can superior call from the Drop Zone?
**[08:11] Gouki**
Nine hundred ninety-seven! Nine hundred
ninety-eight! Nine hundred ninety-nine...
**[08:19] Ibuki**
Just one more!
**[08:23] Ibuki**
What's wrong?! Stand up!
**[08:24] Ibuki**
Stand up, Gouki!
**[08:27] Suiko**
Who's hungry?
**[08:28] Emi/Shuka**
Me!
**[08:30] Suiko**
Let's get a bite to eat.
**[08:31] Emi/Shuka**
Okay!
**[08:37] Gouki**
Boosted by Evil Shade...
**[08:39] Gouki**
...Skull Dragon attacks your Vanguard!
**[08:42] Ibuki**
With Flowers in Vacuum, Cosmo Wreath...
I perfect guard!
**[08:48] Gouki**
My turn is over!
**[08:50] Ibuki**
Not bad.
**[08:52] Ibuki**
Stand and draw.
**[08:54] Ibuki**
Harmonics Messiah's skill activates!
**[08:56] Ibuki**
I unlock my locked card.
**[08:59] Ibuki**
Sunset Edge, Duskblade! The final stroke!
**[09:04] Gouki**
Noooooo!
**[09:06] Ibuki**
So close.
**[09:12] Kamui**
Gouki!
**[09:14] Kamui**
That slap hurt, you know!
**[09:17] Gouki**
I-It's your own fault for blowing me off, Kamui!
**[09:22] Kamui**
Sorry 'bout that.
**[09:24] Kamui**
Are ya playing Vanguard?
**[09:26] Gouki**
It's special training! So that I can beat you!
**[09:30] Kamui**
I look forward to that!
**[09:32] Kamui**
See ya!
**[09:39] Shuka**
He's gotta be the Jammer...
**[09:42] Shuka**
I can't believe this!
**[09:45] Emi**
Shuka, your knife fell over here.
**[09:55] Emi**
I'm so clumsy!
**[09:56] Emi**
Excuse me!
**[09:58] Emi**
What's wrong, Shuka?
**[10:00] Shuka**
That guy's just walking along in broad daylight!
**[10:03] Emi/Suiko**
What guy?
**[10:04] Shuka**
Mask, the Dark!
**[10:08] Suiko**
Those shoulder pads do stick out too much.
**[10:12] Waitress**
Is everything okay over here?
**[10:14] Emi**
I'm very sorry!
**[10:18] Madam**
Momo!
**[10:19] Madam**
Are you all right?!
**[10:21] Emi**
What happened?!
**[10:22] Suiko**
Could it be...?
**[10:25] Suiko**
This smell... it's ghost pepper!
**[10:28] Emi**
Ghost pepper? The world's hottest chili pepper?!
**[10:32] Shuka**
*He* must've been behind this!
**[10:35] Emi**
Shuka, wait!
**[10:38] Shuka**
Stare...
**[10:41] Shuka**
It was you, right?!
**[10:42] Shuka**
You tried to get Emi to drink tea
spiked with ghost pepper!
**[10:47] Dark**
Why would I do that?
**[10:49] Shuka**
Don't play dumb!
**[10:50] Shuka**
You would've gotten your jollies
from seeing Emi gasp for water,
**[10:53] Shuka**
since you're a pervert!
**[10:55] Dark**
Ouch, now that hurt.
**[10:57] Dark**
So, which Holmes are you supposed to be?
**[10:59] Shuka**
Don't change the subject!
**[11:01] Emi**
Shuka! Mask, the Dark wouldn't do that!
**[11:05] Shuka**
But, I mean...
**[11:06] Suiko**
Emi's right.
**[11:08] Suiko**
Let's think rationally:
**[11:10] Suiko**
Just who would profit
from making Emi gasp for water?
**[11:16] Shuka**
I've got it! It was *him!*
**[11:19] Emi**
Where are you going?! Shuka!
**[11:21] Suiko**
Both of you, wait up!
**[11:41] Ibuki**
Gouki tried to prank her?!
**[11:44] Emi**
We don't know that for sure yet!
**[11:47] Shuka**
You're still wishy-washy about it?!
**[11:49] Shuka**
He obviously pranked you
because he sees you as a romantic rival!
**[11:53] Ibuki**
Romantic rival?!
**[11:55] Emi**
What do you mean by that, Shuka?
**[11:58] Shuka**
Don't you get it?!
**[11:59] Emi**
Get what?
**[12:00] Shuka**
Even with Kamui obviously giving you the eye?!
**[12:05] Emi**
Was he? I didn't notice.
**[12:08] Shuka**
Then he doesn't stand a chance.
**[12:11] Suiko**
We'd better not tell Kamui that.
**[12:14] Shuka**
Anyway! When it comes to Kamui, Gouki is...
**[12:17] Gouki**
Kamui, you dummy!
**[12:23] Shuka**
He's quite clearly jealous that Kamui
has feelings for someone else.
**[12:29] Dark**
Oh, I see. So that's how it is.
**[12:32] Ibuki**
Why are you with them?
**[12:34] Dark**
I was walking through town,
and they called out to me.
**[12:37] Ibuki**
Walking through town?! Wearing that?
**[12:41] Suiko**
That aside, where's Gouki?
**[12:43] Ibuki**
He said he needed to take a break
and then took off somewhere.
**[12:47] Shuka**
That's fishy!
**[12:48] Suiko**
True...
**[12:49] Ibuki**
Wait a second!
**[12:52] Ibuki**
Right now the only thing on Gouki's mind
is getting strong enough to beat Kamui!
**[12:56] Ibuki**
He wouldn't be playing pranks!
**[12:58] Shuka**
Wake up and smell the coffee!
**[13:00] Shuka**
He's a Jammer!
**[13:02] Ibuki**
You're wrong! Gouki's no Jammer!
**[13:04] Gouki**
Coach!
**[13:08] Gouki**
Sorry I took so long!
**[13:10] Gouki**
Let's get back to training!
**[13:13] Shuka**
Before that, tell me one thing!
**[13:19] Shuka**
Where were you, and what were you
doing just before you got here?
**[13:23] Shuka**
You can't tell us? Why not?!
**[13:30] Shuka**
Fine, then I'll say what you were doing!
**[13:32] Shuka**
You were stalking your romantic rival, Emi!
**[13:35] Gouki**
"Romantic rival"?
**[13:37] Emi**
I don't get it, either!
**[13:39] Shuka**
I wasn't talking to you, Emi!
**[13:41] Shuka**
Don't play dumb with me!
**[13:43] Shuka**
You obviously have a thing for that Kamui boy!
**[13:46] Gouki**
I... I am fond of Kamui.
**[13:49] Gouki**
I look up to him.
**[13:51] Gouki**
But my feelings don't go beyond that.
**[13:54] Shuka**
What a bunch of baloney!
**[13:56] Shuka**
That's why you tried to make Emi
drink tea spiked with ghost pepper!
**[14:00] Gouki**
I... I didn't do that!
**[14:02] Shuka**
Then where were you,
and what were you doing?! Spill it!
**[14:06] Gouki**
I... I can't...
**[14:08] Ibuki**
Tell her, Gouki!
**[14:09] Ibuki**
If you have no reason for guilt,
tell her and prove your innocence!
**[14:17] Ibuki**
Why won't you?
**[14:19] Shuka**
Show your true self, Jammer!
**[14:26] Dark**
Hey, who's there?!
**[14:34] Gouki**
Dear Nagisa!
**[14:35] Nagisa**
Don't call me "dear," Bro, you big ol' buffoon!
**[14:40] Ibuki**
"Bro"?
**[14:41] Gouki**
Yes, this is my dear little sister, Nagisa.
**[14:44] Nagisa**
What'd I just tell you?!
**[14:46] Gouki**
Did you need something?
**[14:48] Nagisa**
Nah, not really...
**[14:51] Suiko**
Strange. The book doesn't say anything
about her wearing sleeveless shirts.
**[14:56] Ibuki**
She normally doesn't dress like that?
**[14:58] Ibuki**
Wait, does this mean Gouki isn't
the only one who's distorted here?!
**[15:02] Nagisa**
Well, I'm leavin'.
**[15:07] Dark**
What's in the little bottle?
**[15:11] Nagisa**
If you wanna know so badly, here!
**[15:15] Ibuki**
Augh! My eyes! My eyes!
***SIGN*** Never do this at home, kids!!
**[15:18] Suiko**
Never do this at home, kids. I mean it!
**[15:21] Suiko**
That's ghost-pepper powder!
**[15:23] Shuka**
Why do you have ghost-pepper powder?!
**[15:28] Shuka**
Answer me!
**[15:29] Dark**
It's obvious.
**[15:36] Suiko**
The backwards J!
**[15:38] Ibuki**
Where?!
**[15:39] Suiko**
Don't block me!
**[15:41] Gouki**
Nagisa...
**[15:43] Emi**
Your little sister is a Jammer.
**[15:47] Gouki**
A Jammer?
**[15:48] Shuka**
Vanguard's enemy!
**[15:50] Shuka**
But why would a Jammer
spike Emi's drink with ghost pepper?
**[15:54] Dark**
My guess is she was furious about her brother
doing special Vanguard training to get stronger.
**[16:00] Dark**
So she thought framing him
would put an end to that.
**[16:04] Dark**
Is that about right?
**[16:08] Gouki**
Nagisa...
**[16:18] Basskirk**
Jammer!
**[16:21] Suiko**
King of Demonic Seas, Basskirk!
**[16:24] Shuka**
Emi, let's transform!
**[16:26] Emi**
Right!
**[16:27] Ibuki**
Wait, wait, wait, wait!
I'll solve this with a Vanguard fight!
**[16:30] Basskirk**
Jammer!
**[16:33] Gouki**
Coach, are you okay?
**[16:37] Ibuki**
If she's the culprit,
then what were you doing?!
**[16:42] Gouki**
I... I was...
**[16:43] Ibuki**
I can't hear you!
**[16:45] Gouki**
I was, um... powdering my nose...
**[16:49] Ibuki**
Using the restroom?!
**[16:50] Ibuki**
You should've just told us that!
**[16:52] Gouki**
Nice girls don't talk about such vulgar things!
**[16:56] Ibuki**
Who's the girl?!
**[16:57] Basskirk**
Jammer!
**[17:01] Units**
Jam-mer!
**[17:03] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[17:08] Emi**
Protect us, Blaster Blade!
**[17:11] Emi**
Realize!
**[17:25] Units**
Jammerrr...!
**[17:28] Basskirk**
Jammer!
**[17:34] Shuka**
Emi, here's this week's final card!
**[17:37] Ibuki**
Wait!
**[17:39] Ibuki**
If you defeat the Jammer and fix the distortion,
**[17:42] Ibuki**
what'll happen to Gouki's vow to beat Kamui?!
**[17:47] Suiko**
Who cares about feelings brought about
as a result of a distortion?!
**[17:50] Ibuki**
*I* care!
**[17:53] Ibuki**
Distortion or not, Gouki's passionate desire
to defeat Kamui is the real thing!
**[17:59] Ibuki**
If you fix the distortion now,
he'll never be able to fulfill that desire!
**[18:06] Gouki**
Coach...
**[18:09] Suiko**
Even so, the distortion has to be fixed.
**[18:12] Suiko**
If it isn't, we'll never be able
to return to our own world!
**[18:17] Gouki**
Don't worry about me!
**[18:20] Gouki**
You all do what you need to do!
**[18:23] Gouki**
Coach, you wanted to help me get stronger.
**[18:27] Gouki**
I'll never forget how you cared about me!
**[18:32] Ibuki**
Gouki...
**[18:41] Shuka**
There's a new card!
**[18:49] Emi**
Blaster Blade!
**[18:50] Shuka**
Emi!
**[18:52] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[18:59] Emi**
Realize!
**[19:12] Suiko**
It's Vampire Princess of Night Fog, Nightrose!
**[19:14] Suiko**
She's so well-dressed!
**[19:16] Ibuki**
Why are you so excited?
**[19:18] Basskirk**
Jammer!
**[19:21] Basskirk**
Jammer?
**[19:26] Basskirk**
Jaaammer!
**[19:51] Ibuki**
It wasn't this distortion, either...
**[20:09] Gouki**
Here I come, Kamui!
**[20:12] Kamui**
Bring it, Gouki!
**[20:14] Nagisa**
Win it, Bro!
**[20:16] Gouki**
Count on it, Nagisa!
**[20:19] Gouki**
Basskirk attacks your Vanguard!
**[20:22] Kamui**
No guard!
**[20:24] Gouki**
Oh?
**[20:26] Kamui**
Damage check!
**[20:29] Nagisa**
That makes 5 damage!
**[20:32] Kamui**
Second check!
**[20:37] Nagisa**
Bro won!
**[20:39] Gouki**
Kamui, give it up already.
**[20:42] Kamui**
I'm never giving up!
**[20:44] Kamui**
I'll beat ya next time for sure!
**[20:46] Emi**
So Kamui's the one who
challenged Gouki over and over, huh?
**[20:51] Gouki**
That's the spirit, Kamui.
**[20:55] Nagisa**
Kamui, you're so cool!
**[20:58] Kamui**
Nagisa! Whose side are you on?!
**[21:01] Kamui**
I mean, let go of me!
**[21:02] Emi**
Kamui and Nagisa...
**[21:05] Emi**
They make a nice couple!
**[21:07] Shuka**
I guess so.
**[21:18] Gouki**
I'll never forget my feelings for you!
**[21:22] Ibuki**
Yeah right, you'll "never forget"!
Now Gouki and I have never even met!
**[21:31] Suiko**
Is it frustrating?
**[21:33] Suiko**
All that special training for nothing.
**[21:38] Ibuki**
That's not what I'm frustrated about.
**[21:42] Ibuki**
A Vanguard fighter's desire to get stronger
disappeared without ever being fulfilled.
**[21:56] Ibuki**
Aichi Sendou...
**[21:58] Ibuki**
What happened to you?
**[22:02] Ibuki**
You loved Vanguard, and Vanguard loved you back.
**[22:08] Ibuki**
Why did this happen?
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Granblue's
Vampire Princess of Starlight, Nightrose!
***SIGN*** Vampire Princess of Starlight, Nightrose
**[23:53] Narrator**
When an allied rear-guard attacks or boosts,
you can give that unit +5000 power!
**[23:59] Narrator**
And while that rear-guard
will then be retired after its battle,
**[24:02] Narrator**
when Nightrose attacks as the Vanguard,
you can call two units from the Drop Zone!
**[24:07] Narrator**
Use both these skills one after the other
for an immortal combo attack!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Ibuki**
Eru Nakagami? Who's that?
**[24:18] Suiko**
Apparently he's the chairman of the
Psychic Research Society at Miyaji Academy.
**[24:21] Ibuki**
Miyaji? Isn't that where Sendou went?
Is that our next setting?
**[24:25] Suiko**
Incidentally, it seems Nakagami was a member
of Aichi Sendou's Cardfight Club.
**[24:28] Ibuki**
I have a feeling the next episode will get us
to the heart of what made Aichi change.
**[24:32] Suiko**
You think so?
**[24:33] Suiko**
The jerks who make this show use these previews
**[24:35] Suiko**
to shoehorn in potsticker gags
and tease me about my uniform.
**[24:38] Suiko**
You expect the preview to deliver?
**[24:39] Ibuki**
Good point.

**[00:03] Ibuki**
I can't take any more...
**[00:06] Suiko**
If you give up now, it's permanently game over!
**[00:09] Ibuki**
But, I can't eat a single bite more...
**[00:21] Ibuki**
My name is Kouji Ibuki.
**[00:24] Ibuki**
Guided by the Akashic Book,
**[00:26] Ibuki**
I'm on a journey to correct
the world's distortions.
**[00:30] Ibuki**
One of these days I'll bring the world
back to its rightful form.
**[00:34] Ibuki**
And by rightful form, I mean...
**[00:38] Ibuki**
...a world where Vanguard decides everything!
**[00:47] Student A**
Who's that guy?
**[00:48] Student B**
What does Vanguard decide?
**[00:51] Ibuki**
W-Was it just a dream...?
**[00:53] Suiko**
That part wasn't a dream.
**[00:56] Shuka**
You just shouted out your deepest desire.
**[01:00] Ibuki**
Wh-What are you guys doing? Spying on me?!
**[01:04] Suiko**
You'd fainted, so we were
waiting for you to wake up.
**[01:12] Ibuki**
Stupid book!
**[01:15] Ibuki**
Why, you...!
**[01:18] Suiko**
How many times do I have to tell you
to keep your hands off the top idol?!
**[01:23] Ibuki**
"Fainted"?! You knocked me out, didn't you?!
**[01:26] Suiko**
You were muttering embarrassing things in
your sleep, so we watched over you from hiding.
**[01:30] The Three**
Right?!
**[01:31] Ibuki**
It's only common sense to have
Vanguard decide everything.
**[01:35] Ibuki**
Now let's search for today's distortion.
**[01:38] Shuka**
What does he mean about
Vanguard deciding everything?
**[01:41] Suiko**
Literally everything. The one who loses
has to go along with what the winner says.
**[01:46] Emi**
That's some dream...

**[03:38] Suiko**
Miyaji Academy. Aichi Sendou
is supposed to be attending this school.
**[03:43] Ibuki**
Yeah. But instead he's having fun
holing up in there with his buddies.
**[03:49] Suiko**
According to the history we know, the first
Vanguard Koshien is to be held this year.
**[03:55] Ibuki**
At this rate, I seriously doubt
Miyaji Academy is gonna win it.
**[04:02] Emi**
Do you sense a distortion?
**[04:04] Shuka**
It's hard with so many people.
**[04:06] Shuka**
And that delusional guy wandered off.
**[04:10] Student A**
Hi, I'm with the Party Club.
**[04:13] Student A**
Are you two interested in
a club that parties every day?
**[04:15] Emi**
Um, no thanks.
**[04:17] Emi**
I'm busy being a magical girl.
**[04:20] Shuka**
And I'm a fairy.
**[04:22] Student A**
Then from now on, it'll be
the Magical Girl Fairy Party Club.
**[04:27] Ibuki**
Hey, have you found the distortion?
**[04:32] Shuka**
Hi, sir!
**[04:35] Shuka**
I'm sorry I called you, "that delusional guy"!
**[04:37] Ibuki**
You called me that?!
***SIGN*** Chess Club
**[04:39] Ibuki**
Even without Sendou around,
I'm sure there's a Cardfight Club.
**[04:43] Ibuki**
And I suspect we'll find
the distortion related to that...
**[04:45] Suiko**
No, Miyaji Academy didn't have a Cardfight Club
until Aichi Sendou became a student.
**[04:51] Ibuki**
Then what's that?
***SIGN*** ---dfight Club
**[04:57] Senri**
You there, come challenge our captain!
**[05:01] Nakao**
Our club is the strongest of all clubs
at Miyaji Academy's high school division.
**[05:04] Nakao**
We're always on the lookout
for more strong people.
**[05:07] Ibuki**
Since you put it like that,
I have no choice but to challenge you!
**[05:10] Suiko**
Wait a second!
**[05:12] Suiko**
How can there be a Cardfight Club
without Aichi Sendou?!
**[05:18] Ibuki**
All right! Where are your strong guys?!
**[05:21] Ibuki**
I can't wait!
**[05:23] Suiko**
He's hopeless.
**[05:24] Suiko**
All he's thinking about is playing Vanguard.
**[05:26] Suiko**
If I don't do something...
**[05:29] Emi**
What should we do?
***SIGN*** ---dfight Club a.k.a. Psychic Research Society
**[05:44] Ibuki**
I am the one you seek: a strong guy.
**[05:48] Ibuki**
Then I challenge you to a game of Vanguard!
**[05:54] Suiko**
Off-target yet again.
**[05:55] Ibuki**
It can't be!
**[05:57] Ibuki**
I see everybody here is wearing a hood.
**[05:59] Ibuki**
You're not about to tell me that it's
"Hoodfight Club," not "Cardfight Club," are you?
***SIGN*** ---dfight
***SIGN*** Hoodfight
**[06:06] Eru**
No, that's right.
**[06:08] Ibuki**
I'm not glad to be right...
**[06:10] Nakao**
This is Miyaji Academy's mighty Hoodfight Club.
**[06:14] Nakao**
It's also called the Psychic Research Society.
**[06:17] Suiko**
Wait, what's the connection between
psychic powers and "hoodfights"?
**[06:21] Senri**
And this man...
**[06:23] Suiko**
Ignoring me?
**[06:24] Senri**
...is Eru Nakagami.
Also known as "Evil-Eye Eru."
**[06:28] Ibuki**
You guys like having
two names for everything, huh?
**[06:31] Suiko**
Eru Nakagami. I recall that name...
**[06:34] Nakao**
What do you think, Master Eru?
**[06:38] Ibuki**
What's with that...
**[06:41] Ibuki**
...empty threat?
**[06:48] Ibuki**
Is your eye okay?
**[06:50] Suiko**
That's not a real "evil eye," is it?
**[06:56] Eru**
It's...
**[06:58] Eru**
Both of you, leave this place!
**[07:00] Eru**
Now!
**[07:03] Ibuki**
Cut it out! I'm here to play Vanguar--
**[07:05] Eru**
Run! If you don't...
**[07:08] Eru**
...then, my left arm... will...
**[07:12] Ibuki**
This one-man show is just painful to watch.
**[07:14] Suiko**
Could that be real, too?
**[07:17] Eru**
Calm down, my arm! Contain your fury!
**[07:23] Eru**
Darn it!
**[07:24] Eru**
Just go!
**[07:26] Ibuki**
The heck?!
**[07:46] Ibuki**
Where am I?
***SIGN*** Shoe Locker

Oh, what a global world!

It's perfect for me, Tatewaki Naitou!
***SIGN*** Shoe Locker
**[08:07] Ibuki**
Who are you?
**[08:08] Naitou**
I'm Tatewaki Naitou, the president of
Miyaji Academy's high school Student Council.
**[08:14] Naitou**
When I looked into the Psychic Research Society
for the safety of this academy...
**[08:18] Ibuki**
You ended up here?
**[08:24] Naitou**
Wh-What is this?
**[08:27] Ibuki**
What?!
**[08:32] Ibuki**
This is like a game board...
**[08:35] Eru**
Fight!
**[08:37] Naitou**
A voice in my head!
**[08:39] Ibuki**
We've become shogi pieces, so to speak.
**[08:42] Ibuki**
I guess being next to each other registered
as an enemy encounter, and the game began.
**[08:47] Naitou**
Interesting. What kind of fight
are we supposed to have?
**[08:49] Ibuki**
I'm sure it's not a Vanguard fight.
**[08:53] Ibuki**
Wait, maybe it's "Foodfight Club"?
Then this must be a speed-eating contest!
**[08:59] Naitou**
My eyes! My eyes!
**[09:01] Ibuki**
You disagree?!
**[09:04] Naitou**
You expect people to hold
speed-eating contests in this day and age?!
**[09:08] Naitou**
What we have now is "global compliance"!
**[09:12] Ibuki**
So why would that mean
this has to be a cooking contest?!
**[09:15] Ibuki**
I have no interest in cooki--
**[09:30] Ibuki**
Is this even edible?
**[09:39] Naitou**
Even though it's merely a rice omelet...
**[09:42] Naitou**
...it's... delicious!
**[09:43] Ibuki**
R-Really?
**[09:45] Naitou**
Th-This was clearly... made with love!
***SIGN*** Made With Love
**[09:51] Naitou**
I'm snuggled up inside your heart.
**[09:55] Naitou**
Global!
**[09:59] Naitou**
How could I lose to someone
wearing a label like that?!
**[10:02] Ibuki**
I don't even know what mine says! Tell me!
**[10:06] Ibuki**
Hey!
**[10:14] Student B**
Delicious!
**[10:23] Ibuki**
I can't eat another bite.
**[10:24] Ibuki**
What am I saying?! Distortion or not,
I can't make heads or tails of this situation.
***SIGN*** Uniform: A Stretch
**[10:38] Ibuki**
You just sucked in your gut!
**[10:40] Ibuki**
And what's with your sign?!
**[10:42] Suiko**
How dare you say that to an idol?!
**[10:44] Suiko**
No! Stay away from me!
**[10:46] Ibuki**
Where the heck are we?!
**[10:48] Suiko**
Stay away!
**[10:52] Eru**
Fight!
**[10:53] Suiko**
Tch!
**[10:56] Suiko**
In the real world, Eru Nakagami's "Evil Eye"
and "God Hand" are figments of his imagination.
**[11:01] Suiko**
He never had any kind of actual power.
**[11:04] Ibuki**
And yet here, he's trapped us in this place.
**[11:07] Suiko**
Yes, here, it's like we've each become a unit.
**[11:11] Suiko**
And when we enter adjoining spaces,
a combat turn automatically begins.
**[11:15] Suiko**
That's why I said to stay away!
**[11:18] Ibuki**
Since it's come to this, I have no choice.
**[11:20] Ibuki**
I'll defeat you and win this game.
**[11:22] Ibuki**
That should bring out Eru,
the nexus of this distortion.
**[11:32] Ibuki**
I-It's really good!
**[11:33] Suiko**
Naturally. How would I lose to a man
who's wearing a label like that?
**[11:38] Ibuki**
Tell me what it says already!
**[11:40] Suiko**
Good grief.
**[11:44] Suiko**
Huh? It's better than before.
**[11:47] Ibuki**
How could it not be,
after you nagged me so much?
**[11:50] Suiko**
But if we both acknowledge that
the other's was good, which of us wins?
**[11:55] Eru**
Fight once more!
**[11:58] The Two**
What?!
**[12:12] Senri**
Master Eru, where are you going?
**[12:14] Eru**
Don't follow me.
**[12:16] Nakao**
Master Eru's left arm was in fine form today.
**[12:19] Senri**
The only one who would dare defy him now
is that Student Council leftover.
**[12:23] Senri**
And once he's disappeared...
**[12:25] Shuka**
Disappeared?
**[12:26] Emi**
Is that what happened to Ibuki and Suiko?!
**[12:33] Shuka**
I can't tell if he's a Jammer or not.
**[12:36] Emi**
What do you think? Are we going to
have to tackle this one alone?
**[12:39] Eru**
Aichi Sendou's little sister.
Your name is Emi, isn't it?
**[12:44] Emi**
Um, do you know Aichi?
**[12:47] Shuka**
And he knows about you, too. Is he a stalk--
**[12:50] Eru**
Of course. I am the third Eru.
**[12:54] Emi**
The "third"?
**[12:55] Eru**
Ah, yes. The wind blew
like this that time as well.
**[13:00] Eru**
I fought at the gates of heaven
while searching for a safe refuge.
**[13:05] Eru**
But even with my Evil Eye and God Hand...
**[13:09] Emi**
He believes he's the only one
possessing strange powers?
**[13:13] Shuka**
I know what this is! A puberty delusion, right?
**[13:16] Emi**
Shuka, that's being too direct about it.
**[13:18] Eru**
But I have different memories, as well.
**[13:22] Eru**
Of a time when Aichi Sendou, our teammates,
and I were aiming for the Vanguard Koshien.
**[13:28] Shuka**
But in this world, Emi's brother doesn't...
**[13:32] Eru**
I sought power.
**[13:34] Eru**
The Evil Eye that sees through to every truth.
**[13:36] Eru**
The God Hand that manipulates every fate.
**[13:39] Eru**
I believed that I could
make my fantasies come true.
**[13:43] Shuka**
He knew they were just fantasies?!
**[13:45] Emi**
Shuka!
**[13:46] Eru**
And now, this world.
**[13:47] Eru**
These memories are the third set.
**[13:50] Eru**
Or perhaps I have wandered through many
more worlds, destroying each one as I passed.
**[13:55] Eru**
Now I have the Evil Eye,
and power resides within my left arm.
**[13:59] Shuka**
So your wish came true?
**[14:02] Eru**
No.
**[14:02] Itsuki**
I am Itsuki Suwabe, the last survivor
of Miyaji Academy's Student Council!
**[14:07] Itsuki**
What have you done with President Naitou?!
**[14:11] Eru**
No, don't! I'm done with this!
**[14:15] Eru**
Calm down! Stay calm!
**[14:25] Emi**
He really disappeared...
**[14:28] Eru**
The power won't obey me.
**[14:32] Eru**
It responds to hostile intentions
on its own, going berserk.
**[14:35] Eru**
Eventually, I'll be the
only one left in this world.
**[14:39] Eru**
I didn't ask for power like this!
**[14:42] Eru**
My wish finally came true, but I had no idea
it would turn out this way!
**[14:45] Eru**
Is this my punishment
for trying to change the world?
**[14:49] Emi**
With me, I just wanted Aichi
to be his old kind self. But now I see...
**[14:55] Emi**
Like him, I'm trying to change
the world to suit my own preferences.
**[15:00] Shuka**
If he's not the Jammer...
**[15:04] Shuka**
I've got it!
**[15:07] Ibuki**
I can't take any more...
**[15:10] Suiko**
If you give up now, it's permanently game over!
**[15:13] Ibuki**
But, I can't eat a single bite more...
**[15:17] Suiko**
If you just say it's not good, you'll win!
**[15:20] Ibuki**
I can't lie! Especially not during a fight!
**[15:24] Suiko**
This isn't a Cardfight!
**[15:28] Suiko**
I feel so bloated!
**[15:34] Eru**
The fight is cancelled.
**[15:36] Suiko**
If we're not in adjacent spaces,
the fight gets cancelled!
**[15:39] Ibuki**
You should've realized that sooner!
**[15:42] Suiko**
Excuse me?!
***SIGN*** Vice-President
**[15:45] Itsuki**
Huh? What's this?
**[15:47] Ibuki**
You idiot!
**[15:50] Eru**
Fight!
**[15:51] Suiko**
Tch!
**[15:53] Eru**
Are you serious?!
**[15:55] Shuka**
Yes. Please make me and Emi
disappear using your God Hand.
**[15:59] Emi**
She says if you do that,
we'll be sent to another world.
**[16:04] Shuka**
That's the only way... probably.
**[16:06] Eru**
I never want to use this left arm again.
**[16:10] Eru**
Rewriting the world for my own desires...
**[16:13] Shuka**
Emi and I have corrected distortions
in a variety of worlds.
**[16:17] Shuka**
For the sake of our own wishes.
**[16:19] Eru**
What?!
**[16:21] Shuka**
I don't think that's a bad thing!
**[16:24] Shuka**
Emi, believe in me!
**[16:27] Emi**
Yes. I do believe in you.
**[16:29] Emi**
It's okay to rewrite the world.
**[16:33] Emi**
We'll rewrite it again and again and again,
until we reach the real Aichi.
**[16:39] Emi**
That's what I decided!
**[16:41] Shuka**
From the far side of the first star...
**[16:44] Emi**
...a dazzling star of love will arrive!
**[16:47] Emi**
Magical Girl Emi!
**[16:49] Shuka**
Card Fairy Shuka!
**[16:54] The Two**
We help people with our miraculous powers!
**[16:56] The Two**
We're the Blaster Pair!
**[17:02] Eru**
No, don't!
**[17:10] Suiko**
Anyway, this will all be over
if we can defeat the boss character!
**[17:12] Ibuki**
Where is this "boss character"?!
**[17:15] Ibuki**
Whoa, don't get too close!
**[17:16] Ibuki**
We need a space between us!
**[17:17] Suiko**
Stop lurching in my direction!
**[17:20] Emi**
Ibuki, Suiko!
**[17:21] Suiko**
What are you two doing here?!
**[17:23] Shuka**
What's with the labels?
**[17:25] Ibuki**
Hey, what does mine say?!
**[17:31] Eru Jammer**
You have done well to make it this far...
**[17:33] Eru**
...strong ones.
**[17:40] Ibuki**
So Eru is the food fight boss character?
**[17:43] Shuka**
You're not Eru!
**[17:46] Emi**
You gave Eru power, forced him to send people
to this place, and distorted the world...
**[17:52] Emi**
...Jammer!
**[17:53] Suiko**
Come to think of it, the real Eru Nakagami
has bandages wrapped around his RIGHT arm.
**[17:58] Ibuki**
That's a common mistake in animation!
**[18:01] Pair**
Show yourself, Jammer!
**[18:17] Jammer**
Jaaammer!
**[18:19] Suiko**
That's from the Dark Irregulars deck!
**[18:21] Ibuki**
Master of Fifth Element!
**[18:23] Ibuki**
That unit can be a pain to fight.
**[18:25] Jammer Units**
Jammer... Jammer... Jammer...
**[18:28] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[18:31] Emi**
Realize! Everyone, lend me your power!
**[18:37] Jammer**
Jammer!
**[18:40] Ibuki**
Master of Fifth Element uses powerful magic!
**[18:44] Jammer**
Jammer!
**[18:48] Shuka**
Emi!
**[18:53] Emi**
Shoot!
**[18:54] Jammer**
You have interfered.
**[18:56] Jammer**
All I did was make a
lonely teenager's fantasy come true.
**[19:00] Emi**
This isn't what Eru wanted!
**[19:03] Jammer**
Oh? Then what do you think he wanted?
**[19:07] Emi**
Well... I don't know, but...
**[19:09] Jammer**
Jammer...
**[19:11] Shuka**
It was something loads better than this!
**[19:14] Jammer**
That's pretty vague.
**[19:17] Emi**
It would be boring if we knew.
**[19:19] Emi**
We don't know what it will be, but that's why
we change the world as many times as we need!
**[19:26] Emi**
To get the real Aichi back!
**[19:38] Shuka**
Emi, here's this week's final card!
**[19:44] Emi**
Elemental Calling! Realize!
**[19:49] Emi**
Masked Magician, Harri!
**[19:51] Harri**
It's showtime!
**[19:54] Jammer**
Jammer!
**[19:59] Jammer**
Jaaammer!
**[20:02] Jammer**
Jammer, jammer-jammer!
**[20:07] Harri**
Jammer!
**[20:11] Harri**
Look!
**[20:14] Jammer**
What?!
**[20:15] Suiko**
Magic versus stage magic, huh?
**[20:18] Harri**
Watch closely!
**[20:23] Harri**
One! Two! Three!
**[20:29] Jammer**
What?!
**[20:32] Shuka**
Harri, turn Emi into Blaster Blade!
**[20:36] Jammer**
Jammer!
**[20:39] Jammer**
You'll do no such thing!
**[20:46] Jammer**
Blast it!
**[20:49] Jammer**
No, don't!
**[20:51] Jammer**
Jam.
***SIGN*** Squish

**[21:12] Senri**
Um, President...
**[21:13] Eru**
Oh. So what about our new members?
**[21:16] Nakao**
Since it was revealed that your psychic powers
were all magic tricks, we got zero sign-ups.
**[21:22] Senri**
The Student Council says
we have to vacate our club room.
**[21:25] Eru**
I see.
**[21:37] Eru**
I refuse to give up our club room!
I am Evil-Eye Eru!
**[21:42] Suiko**
The Hoodfight Club returned to being
just the Psychic Research Society.
**[21:46] Ibuki**
But the Cardfight Club still doesn't exist.
**[21:55] Emi**
Shuka, it'll be okay.
**[21:58] Shuka**
Yeah. I'm not giving up.
**[22:00] Shuka**
No matter how many times we fail...
**[22:02] Shuka**
No matter how many worlds are sacrificed...
**[22:05] Shuka**
Let's go, Emi!
**[22:09] Emi**
Shuka, wait!
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Pale Moon's
Masked Magician, Harri!
***SIGN*** Masked Magician, Harri
**[23:53] Narrator**
When it's placed, move all your Accel markers
to one Accel circle, which becomes a stage!
**[23:57] Narrator**
In addition, you can use its skill
to call multiple Magia Dolls from the Soul!
**[24:01] Narrator**
Also, if you call Harri's partner, Pop,
to the stage, when you unseal it,
**[24:05] Narrator**
a powerful trump card will appear!
**[24:07] Narrator**
Try mixing and matching units for bold combos!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Ibuki**
Hey, Suiko, do you know of Vangua-rou?
**[24:18] Suiko**
The Vanguard Association's mascot chara?
**[24:20] Suiko**
It looks like a huge tofu brick.
**[24:22] Ibuki**
It's shaped like a Vanguard deck!
**[24:24] Suiko**
Oh, really? So, what about Vangua-rou?
**[24:26] Ibuki**
You see, they've never actually revealed
the identity of that character's designer.
**[24:30] Suiko**
Likely the original series creator.
**[24:31] Ibuki**
Don't break the fourth wall like that!
**[24:33] Ibuki**
So next time, Suikky, we take a journey
to uncover the secrets of Vangua-rou's birth!
**[24:38] Suiko**
Sounds great, Ibukky!

I smell one! I smell a Jammer!
**[01:37] Shuka**
Emi, over there!
**[01:38] Tatsuya**
Wh-What are you doing?!
**[01:40] Tatsuya**
Let go of me!
**[01:43] Shuka**
The Jammers suddenly showed up!

**[03:43] Oyama**
Then shall we have a showdown?
**[03:45] Ryuzu**
Go ahead.
**[03:46] Shuka**
Excuse me! What is this?!
**[03:48] Emi**
Help!
**[03:51] Tatsuya**
It's cramped in here! And dark! And scary!
**[03:56] Tatsuya**
Ryuzu!
**[03:57] Ryuzu**
Sorry, Tatsuya.
**[03:59] Ryuzu**
I was so anxious to get you here that
I had a few gentlemen bring you to me.
**[04:05] Oyama**
I figured Tatsuya would be your helper!
**[04:09] Oyama**
As for mine...
**[04:10] Oyama**
...it's him!
**[04:12] Emi/Shuka**
Mask, the Dark!
**[04:14] Dark**
Sorry. It appears we're to be enemies today.
**[04:18] Ryuzu**
Who is he?
**[04:21] Shuka/Emi**
You don't know, mister?
**[04:23] Oyama**
I don't actually know him myself...
**[04:26] Oyama**
But he's really cool, yeah?
**[04:28] Oyama**
I think he's a perfect fit for this project.
**[04:31] Kanzaki**
You're weak!
**[04:33] Kanzaki**
Weak, weak, weak!
**[04:36] Kanzaki**
I found S Rank fighters!
**[04:39] Nanami**
Ow...
**[04:42] Tatsuya**
Nanami and Tonori!
**[04:44] Tonori**
Yo, what is this?
**[04:46] Nanami**
You at least owe us an

**[04:49] Ryuzu/Kanzaki/Oyama**
It's all for the sake of Vanguard!

**[04:54] Shuka**
The Vanguard Association...
**[04:57] Emi**
...preparation room?
**[04:59] Ryuzu**
Precisely!
**[05:00] Ryuzu**
We've formed this marvelous organization
**[05:03] Ryuzu**
to spread the word about
Vanguard throughout the world!
**[05:05] Ryuzu**
And this is a design competition
to decide on our mascot!
**[05:08] Tatsuya**
So that's what this is about.
**[05:10] Emi**
A mascot? For your organization?
**[05:14] Ryuzu**
Correct.
**[05:15] Shuka**
All right. We'll also participate.
**[05:18] Emi**
Shuka?
**[05:19] Shuka**
After all, we can't have them
making up a weird Vanguard mascot.
**[05:23] Shuka**
You're in too, right?
**[05:26] Tatsuya**
My question is, who are you two?
**[05:31] Emi**
We should've introduced ourselves earlier.
**[05:32] Emi**
I'm Emi, a novice magical girl.
**[05:35] Shuka**
I'm Shuka, her fairy assistant.
**[05:39] Tatsuya**
A magical girl and a fairy?!
**[05:43] Tatsuya**
Fascinating...
**[05:45] Tatsuya**
Let's work together!
**[05:46] Shuka/Emi**
Great!
**[05:47] Nanami**
Just so you know...
**[05:49] Nanami**

**[05:59] Nanami**
Hey!
**[06:01] Oyama**
A falling-out already?
**[06:03] Dark**
You'll never beat us like that.
**[06:06] Oyama**
You got that right!
**[06:07] Oyama**
Can anyone beat this mask?
**[06:10] Dark**
You understand me! I'm touched!
**[06:13] Dark**
You have exquisite fashion sense, sir!
**[06:20] Emi**
Um, I don't mind thinking up a mascot,
but how is the winner going to be decided?
**[06:26] Ryuzu**
Don't worry. We already have judges lined up.
**[06:30] Ryuzu**
That's your cue!
**[06:35] Emi**
Suiko and...
**[06:36] Shuka**
...the old--
**[06:37] Dark**
Bukki!
**[06:38] Ryuzu**
These two will judg--
**[06:40] Suiko**
We heard the spiel already.
**[06:42] Suiko**
As a member of ULTRARARE,
I will judge this competition,
**[06:47] Suiko**
which is to influence the future
of Vanguard, fair and square.
**[06:50] Ibuki**
Why do I have to be part of this?
**[06:53] Oyama**
So, who are you?
**[06:55] Kanzaki**
Why are you entrusting
the judging to these people?!
**[06:57] Ryuzu**
That's because...
**[06:59] Ryuzu**
...their love for Vanguard is genuine!
**[07:02] Ryuzu**
Also, I thought we needed the opinion
of the 20-to-34 female demographic.
**[07:06] Suiko**
Who are you calling
the 20-to-34 female demographic?!
***SIGN*** Age 20-34
**[07:12] Oyama**
Well, they'll do.
**[07:14] Oyama**
The showdown is three days
from now! Just you wait!
**[07:17] Ryuzu**
I have no intention of losing, either!
**[07:19] Kanzaki**
Begone, weaklings!
**[07:22] Emi**
Shuka, haven't we gotten ourselves
involved in a major pain of a project?
**[07:29] Shuka**
I can smell it.
**[07:30] Shuka**
The distortion is in this room!
**[07:39] Shuka**
So, who are you?
**[07:41] Ryuzu**
Ryuzu Myoujin.
**[07:43] Ryuzu**
I'm the representative of the
Vanguard Association preparation room.
**[07:47] Ryuzu**
I had you two brought along with him
in order to speed up the process.
**[07:51] Ryuzu**
My apologies.
**[07:53] Emi**
Not at all. We're as interested as you,
so we're happy to participate.
**[07:57] Shuka**
Someone among us is a Jamm--
**[08:01] Ryuzu**
Tatsuya has helped me do research into Vanguard
in the past, which is how we know each other.
**[08:11] Tatsuya**
I've finished.
**[08:13] Tatsuya**
How about something like this?
**[08:14] Ryuzu**
Rejected.
**[08:15] Tatsuya**
That fast?!
**[08:16] Tatsuya**
All you did was combine elements
from units that already exist.
**[08:19] Tatsuya**
There's no originality.
**[08:22] Shuka**
I would say...
**[08:23] Shuka**
...it's kind of lame.
**[08:25] Emi**
Firstly, it lacks the sense of friendliness
that a mascot should have.
**[08:30] Emi**
It's also unmemorable and leaves no impact.
**[08:33] Emi**
I guess my main issues with
this design are the lack of creativity
**[08:38] Emi**
and the poor marketing sense,
as I can't identify the target audience.
**[08:42] Emi**
Simply put, it doesn't really
hold up as a character.
**[08:45] Tatsuya**
I didn't expect a critical drubbing...
**[08:50] Tatsuya**
Papa! Mama!
**[08:52] Tatsuya**
I'll use my power to bring you back!
**[08:55] Ryuzu**
Now, now. Just calm down.
**[09:05] Kanzaki**
Might makes right!
**[09:07] Kanzaki**
"A tenacity for victory that even
drips out of your pores" makes right!
**[09:11] Kanzaki**
Weakness is a sin!
**[09:14] Nanami**
Meow-meow, kitty-cat.
**[09:16] Kanzaki**
Where did that stray cat come from?!
**[09:18] Tonori**
The window was open, so...
**[09:20] Kanzaki**
This is weakness!
**[09:22] Kanzaki**
Now is the time to think
about Vanguard's future!
**[09:25] Kanzaki**
Ignore that mangy thing!
**[09:27] Nanami**
Ka-ping! What was that, old man?!
**[09:32] Kanzaki**
Are you talking back to me?!
**[09:34] Nanami**
What are you calling a mangy thing?!
**[09:36] Nanami**
When it comes to mascot motifs,
**[09:38] Nanami**
cute kitty-cats are the most powerful
in the world, possibly even the universe!
**[09:43] Kanzaki**
That's the spirit!
**[09:44] Kanzaki**
If you feel that strongly about it,
then draw your Vanguard...
**[09:50] Kanzaki**
...mascot!
**[09:51] Nanami**
Just you wait!
**[09:56] Tatsuya**
Here!
**[09:57] Ryuzu**
Boring! Next.
**[09:59] Tatsuya**
Here.
**[10:00] Emi**
Not cute. Next.
**[10:01] Tatsuya**
Here!
**[10:02] Ryuzu**
It lacks refinement. Next.
**[10:04] Tatsuya**
Here!
**[10:05] Emi**
No feels. Next.
**[10:08] Tatsuya**
Why is this happening to me?!
**[10:11] Ryuzu**
Next!
**[10:14] Nanami**
There! A hometown kitty-cat character!
**[10:18] Kanzaki**
Deja vu!
**[10:19] Kanzaki**
Could be trouble!
**[10:21] Nanami**
Stressed out by the rat race,
it takes things easy instead!
**[10:23] Nanami**
Bald Kitty!

**[11:00] Tonori**
Boneless Chicken Yellow!
**[11:02] Tonori**
Giga-bigga Beef Bowl
with Pickled Ginger Blue!
**[11:06] Nanami**
Should that be red or blue?
**[11:08] Kanzaki**
Wh-What is this?!
You're a mass of pure appetite!
**[11:12] Kanzaki**
Hunger personified!
**[11:14] Kanzaki**
Good, good! Now this is the
S Rank fighter I had hoped for!
**[11:19] Kanzaki**
More! More!
**[11:37] Oyama**
Damage check...
**[11:42] Oyama**
No trigger.
**[11:44] Dark**
I... I win...
**[11:47] Oyama**
You're strong!
**[11:48] Dark**
As are you... Ryutarou Oyama.
**[11:54] Oyama**
Itchy, itchy!
**[11:55] Oyama**
When I play Cardfight Vanguard these days,
for some reason my skin starts to crawl!
**[12:03] Oyama**
Anyway, between your outfit
and your fighting, you're awesome!
**[12:11] Dark**
Back at ya.
**[12:13] Dark**
*You* are awesome.
**[12:17] Dark**
Is something wrong?
**[12:18] Oyama**
That!
**[12:21] Oyama**
Oh no!
**[12:23] Oyama**
I was so wrapped up with fighting
that I forgot about the mascot design!
**[12:27] Dark**
We're really gonna do that?
**[12:29] Oyama**
Of course!
**[12:31] Oyama**
Oh man, that was a close one...
**[12:36] Ibuki**
No matter how hard I try, I never get to fight!
**[12:40] Suiko**
Shush it! Figure out the format already!
**[12:43] Ibuki**
I know! We have to correct
this world's distortion, right?
**[12:47] Ibuki**
It's gotta be either Ryuzu, Kanzaki, or Oyama!
**[12:50] Suiko**
Don't be flip!
**[12:51] Suiko**
It's true that one of them is a Jammer,
but if we choose wrongly and they get away,
**[12:57] Suiko**
a correctable distortion will be beyond repair!
**[13:00] Ibuki**
Fine. We'll get to the bottom of this
through careful deliberation.
**[13:03] Suiko**
Well, for now, let's go home.
It's your turn to make dinner.
**[13:09] Ibuki**
Again?!
**[13:14] Emi**
You're drawing one too, Shuka?
**[13:16] Shuka**
An idea just popped into my head.
**[13:19] Emi**
Huh...
**[13:22] Ryuzu**
This is the one!
**[13:24] Kanzaki**
This is it!
**[13:25] Oyama**
Let's go with this!
**[13:44] Ryuzu**
Your attention, please!
**[13:47] Ryuzu**
The Vanguard mascot character
competition is about to begin!
**[13:52] Ryuzu**
Over here are our judges!
**[13:55] Ryuzu**
ULTRARARE's Suiko Tatsunagi!
**[13:59] Suiko**
Watch carefully as the future of Vanguard
begins with the advent of a new mascot.
**[14:10] Oyama**
We'll start!
**[14:13] Ibuki**
They didn't just design it,
but made a character suit, too?!
**[14:23] Oyama**
I am a child of the wild:
Mask, the Vanguard! R! X!
**[14:31] Nanami**
What is that?
**[14:32] Emi**
He's just imitating Mask, the Dark!
**[14:37] Ibuki**
Threw it together at the last minute, huh?
**[14:39] Suiko**
An all-around lackluster job. Next!
**[14:42] Oyama**
But I thought it was cool!
**[14:49] Kanzaki**
Observe!
**[14:52] Kanzaki**
This is perfect harmony between
strength and a beloved motif!
**[14:59] Kanzaki**
The King of Animals!
**[15:01] Kanzaki**
Meowtron!
**[15:04] Nanami**
What the heck?!
Even with kitties, it's not cute at all!
**[15:08] Tonori**
I think the name's cute, though.
**[15:12] Suiko**
While it contains a token number of
Vanguard elements, it's an eyesore. Next!
**[15:18] Kanzaki**
But I thought it was cute!
**[15:24] Ryuzu**
Interdimensional Vangabang!
**[15:29] All**
"Vangabang"?
**[15:31] Ryuzu**
I'll explain the transformation process.
**[15:34] Ryuzu**
It takes Vangabang a mere
0.05 seconds to don his fighting suit.
**[15:41] Ryuzu**
Vanga-fact!
**[15:43] Tatsuya**
But what I drew was this!
**[15:46] Tatsuya**
How did it turn into that?!
**[15:50] Ibuki**
That happens a lot when something goes
from two-dimensional to three-dimensional.
**[15:53] Suiko**
It seems the modeler's abilities
weren't up to snuff. Too bad.
**[15:57] Tatsuya**
That's just awful!
**[16:02] Ryuzu**
How is it awful?!
**[16:04] Oyama**
Mine is the best!
**[16:05] Kanzaki**
What are you talking about?! What is that
top-heavy weakling supposed to be?!
**[16:09] Ryuzu**
You should talk! How does that
have anything to do with mascots?!
**[16:12] Oyama**
You have no room to talk, either!
**[16:14] Ryuzu**
What was that?!
**[16:15] Oyama**
What was what?!
**[16:16] Ibuki**
I definitely wouldn't wanna work
for any of those guys.
**[16:20] Suiko**
Which one is the Jammer?
**[16:22] Ibuki**
This whole setup reeks of a Jammer distortion.
**[16:31] Shuka**
That's the Jammer mark!
**[16:33] Emi**
Then...
**[16:34] Shuka/Emi/Suiko/Ibuki**
...all three of them are Jammers?!
**[16:36] Suiko**
So they're a Vanguard Association in name only.
**[16:39] Suiko**
They chose weird mascot characters
to keep Vanguard from becoming popular.
**[16:44] Ibuki**
Like I said, the whole thing
stunk from the get-go.
**[16:50] Oyama Jammer**
There's no sense faking it now that you know.
**[16:53] Kanzaki Jammer**
Only the strong can grasp victory!
**[16:56] Ryuzu Jammer**
No, I'll handle them!
**[16:58] Oyama Jammer**
No, I'll fight!
**[17:00] Kanzaki Jammer**
Wait! I'll go first!
**[17:02] Oyama Jammer**
You can get lost!
**[17:04] Shuka**
Emi, let's transform!
**[17:06] Emi**
Right!
**[17:16] Emi/Shuka**
IF, stand up!
**[17:22] The Three**
Jam-jam-jam-jam-jam!
**[17:25] Oyama Jammer**
Jammer!
**[17:26] Kanzaki Jammer**
Jammer!
**[17:28] Ryuzu Jammer**
Jammer!
**[17:32] Tatsuya**
Chronotiger Rebellion?!
**[17:37] Suiko**
That's...
**[17:38] Suiko**
...Claret Sword Dragon!
**[17:40] Ibuki**
Dragonic Vanquisher!
**[17:42] Emi**
Realize!
**[17:43] Emi**
We need you, Blaster Blade!
**[17:59] Shuka**
No!
**[18:00] Emi**
Three against one is too much for him!
**[18:05] Dark**
Looks like you're in trouble.
**[18:08] Emi**
Mask, the Dark!
**[18:10] Dark**
I feel somewhat responsible
for helping one of those Jammers.
**[18:15] Dark**
And so, catch this week's final card!
**[18:23] Shuka**
Blaster Dark!
**[18:26] Emi**
Realize!
**[18:35] Ibuki**
Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark
are gonna fight together?!
**[18:39] Suiko**
But it's still three against two!
**[18:48] Emi**
Blaster Blade!
**[18:50] Shuka**
Blaster Dark!
**[18:53] Shuka**
Oh no!
**[19:02] Emi**
Blaster Blade!
**[19:03] Shuka**
Blaster Dark!
**[19:07] Shuka**
What?
**[19:14] Shuka**
I don't believe it. Is it... Is it really you?!
**[19:20] Dark**
Huh...
**[19:22] Emi**
Shuka!
**[19:28] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[19:34] Emi**
Realize!
**[19:35] Emi**
Majesty Lord Blaster!
**[19:44] Dark**
What is that...?
**[19:59] Shuka**
Majesty Lord Blaster...
**[20:03] Shuka**
It's true...
**[20:05] Shuka**
You finally came for us!
**[20:51] Shuka**
At last... Majesty Lord Blaster...
**[20:59] Dark**
This is still my card.
**[21:05] Dark**
Thank you!
**[21:07] Dark**
You showed me something I'd never seen before.
**[21:10] Dark**
Farewell, magical girls.
**[21:16] Emi**
Mask, the Dark...
**[21:23] Ibuki**
Looks like it wasn't this distortion, either.
**[21:26] Suiko**
Apparently not.
**[21:28] Tatsuya**
What was that about?
**[21:30] Tonori**
Dunno, yo.
**[21:31] Nanami**
Me neither.
**[21:34] Kanzaki**
What is all this?!
**[21:37] Oyama**
I remember we were trying to come up
with a Vanguard mascot character...
**[21:42] Ryuzu**
What a mess. For now, let's tidy up...
**[21:50] Kanzaki**
What is that scribble?!
**[21:52] Ryuzu**
Such a lousy drawing.
**[21:53] Oyama**
And yet...
**[21:54] Ryuzu**
And yet...
**[21:55] Kanzaki**
And yet...
**[21:56] Kanzaki/Ryuzu/Oyama**
This is it! This is the one!
**[22:00] Kanzaki**
At long last...
**[22:00] Oyama**
...this is the mascot character...
**[22:02] Ryuzu**
...we were looking for!
**[22:06] Audience**
Vangua-rou!
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Spike Brothers'
Exceptional Expertise, Rising Nova!
***SIGN*** Exceptional Expertise, Rising Nova
**[23:54] Narrator**
When this unit is placed, you get
Imaginary Gifts Force I and Force II!
**[23:59] Narrator**
On top of that, if you choose
two of your grade 3 units,
**[24:01] Narrator**
it can use the skills of those two units!
**[24:05] Narrator**
Master using both of its gifts as well as
those two skills to dominate the battlefield!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Ibuki**
My name is Kouji Ibuki.
**[24:17] Ibuki**
I work to correct historical distortions,
slowly improving my cooking along the way.
**[24:20] Ibuki**
Also, next time! We learn
Mask, the Dark's true identity!
**[24:23] Suiko**
What?! At last, we'll be able to see
the face behind the mask!
**[24:26] Ibuki**
But we're too used to
over-hyped previews like this.
**[24:31] Suiko**
Some of these really don't count as previews.
**[24:33] Suiko**
I've even been told that the previews
are more entertaining than the main story.
**[24:37] Ibuki**
Then, starting next week, we'll have
one minute of story and the rest previews!
**[24:39] Suiko**
But wouldn't doing that require
even faster delivery of materials?
***SIGN*** if 12
Truth of the Mask
**[24:43] Ibuki**
Yeah, that's not happening.

**[00:02] Courier**
Thank you.
**[00:07] Suiko**
Ibuki...
**[00:08] Ibuki**
Gulp!
**[00:10] Suiko**
What's in the package?
**[00:13] Ibuki**
None of your business!
**[00:18] Suiko**
You used social media to register
with an online shopping site?
**[00:21] Suiko**
You have a credit card?
**[00:24] Ibuki**
Yes, I did pay for this myself.
**[00:28] Ibuki**
I don't know which version of me
is going to end up covering it, though.
**[00:32] Suiko**
So what did you order?
**[00:35] Ibuki**
Like I said, it's none of your business!
**[00:38] Suiko**
I'm sorry.
**[00:42] Ibuki**
It's not what you're thinking!
Nothing like that.
**[00:47] Suiko**
And Emi and Shuka haven't replied to my text...
**[00:50] Suiko**
What could be going on?
**[00:53] Manager**
Blaster Dark?
**[00:56] Manager**
I haven't seen that card in years.
**[00:58] Shuka**
Really?
**[00:59] Emi**
Thank you.
**[01:01] Manager**
Wait.
**[01:03] Manager**
While I don't have the card itself...
**[01:06] Manager**
...I have heard about a guy
who uses Blaster Dark.
**[01:10] Emi**
Really?!
**[01:11] Shuka**
Who?
**[01:12] Manager**
Ren Suzugamori.
**[01:15] Manager**
You can find him here.
***SIGN*** Cardshop Castle
**[01:24] Emi**
Well, we're here...
***SIGN*** Cardshop Castle
**[01:33] Emi**
Are those actual delinquents?
**[01:34] Shuka**
Don't be afraid. We finally have a clue.
**[01:39] Shuka**
Blaster Blade, knight of light,
and Blaster Dark, knight of darkness.
**[01:44] Shuka**
When their powers came together,
**[01:47] Shuka**
Majesty Lord Blaster responded
for the first time.
**[01:53] Shuka**
If we can just get Blaster Dark, I'm sure
we'll be able to retrieve your brother.
**[02:00] Emi**
Wait. Someone else is there.
**[02:06] Asaka**
We've awaited your arrival, Ren.
**[02:10] Emi/Shuka**
Ren?!
**[02:14] Emi**
*He's* Ren Suzugamori,
the one who uses Blaster Dark?!
**[02:18] Shuka**
Maybe he's also Mask, the Dark!
**[02:26] Shuka**
Let's find out for sure!
**[02:28] Emi**
Right!
***SIGN*** if 12
Truth of the Mask
**[04:06] Ren**
Critical trigger.
**[04:08] Ren**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard.
**[04:10] Customer A**
Damage check!
**[04:17] Ren**
You're weak, weak, weak!
**[04:20] Ren**
You really thought you could
beat me with a skill level like that?
**[04:25] Ren**
All right, everyone.
Let's teach him this shop's rule.
**[04:30] Customers**
Winners get all! Losers get lost!
**[04:35] Customers**
Losers get lost!
**[04:36] Ren**
It's only natural for the weak to be banned.
**[04:37] Customers**
Winners get all! Losers get lost!
**[04:40] Shuka**
Was he like that before?
**[04:42] Emi**
The last time we saw him...
**[04:45] Emi**
He seemed much kinder then.
**[04:49] Emi**
Or at least, he didn't seem like a person
who took pleasure in bullying others.
**[04:55] Shuka**
Maybe he's a Jammer?
**[04:57] Ren**
So, who's going to be my next opponent?
**[05:00] Emi**
I'll go check.
**[05:01] Shuka**
Hey! Emi!
**[05:04] Emi**
I'll play you.
**[05:10] Tetsu**
I haven't seen you around before.
**[05:13] Asaka**
What's your name?
**[05:15] Emi**
Emi Sendou.
**[05:17] Ren**
Sendou?
**[05:19] Ren**
That name sounds oddly familiar...
**[05:22] Shuka**
Emi, do you have a deck?
**[05:25] Emi**
Let me borrow yours. He's totally strong.
**[05:27] Shuka**
Seriously?
**[05:31] Ren**
It's unusual to have the
next challenger step up so soon.
**[05:37] Ren**
That spot tends to stay empty after my fights,
perhaps because everyone is intimidated.
**[05:44] Emi**
I have one favor to ask you.
**[05:46] Ren**
What is it?
**[05:48] Emi**
If I win, will you give me a card?
**[05:52] Ren**
Huh. And which card do you want?
**[05:56] Emi**
Your Blaster Dark.
**[05:59] Asaka**
You have a lot of nerve,
asking Ren for something like that!
**[06:04] Ren**
Fine.
**[06:05] Asaka**
Ren...
**[06:07] Ren**
However, I'm quite a strong player.
**[06:11] Ren**
Be prepared to lose.
**[06:15] Ren/Emi**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[06:18] Ren**
Fullbau!
**[06:19] Emi**
Interdimensional Dragon,
Chronoscommand Dragon!
**[06:22] Tetsu/Asaka**
Hold on!
**[06:24] Tetsu**
Gear Chronicle?!
**[06:26] Tetsu**
I've heard rumors about that deck,
but it actually exists?!
**[06:29] Asaka**
And that's a grade 4!
**[06:31] Emi**
Huh? Did I make a mistake?
**[06:34] Shuka**
Emi, your First Vanguard has to be a grade 0.
**[06:38] Emi**
You should've told me that earlier!
**[06:42] Ren**
I ride Blaster Javelin,
and that's the end of my turn.
**[06:46] Emi**
It's my turn!
**[06:48] Emi**
A full-on attack!
**[06:51] Shuka**
She knows so little...
**[06:54] Customer B**
You're a rank beginner!
**[06:55] Customer C**
You've got brass, challenging Ren
without even knowing the rules!
**[07:00] Ren**
While I can appreciate your spirit...
**[07:03] Asaka**
We'll punish you so much, you'll never
be able to walk through those doors again!
**[07:09] Emi**
E-Excuse me?!
**[07:11] Shuka**
If you could use Majesty Lord Blaster,
these people would be pushovers!
**[07:20] Asaka**
R-Ren!
**[07:22] Tetsu**
Don't panic! It's just a smoke bomb.
**[07:25] Tetsu**
Open the windows!
**[07:27] Guy**
What the heck?!
**[07:30] Ren**
Huh?
**[07:35] Mask**
Are you all right, girls?
**[07:38] Emi**
Thank you, Mask, the Dark!
**[07:41] Emi**
But how...?
**[07:43] Mask**
As a knight, it's my duty to come running
whenever damsels are in distress.
**[07:48] Shuka**
Why're you trying to show off?
**[07:51] Shuka**
I'll bet you were already keeping an eye on us.
**[07:53] Shuka**
Like a stalker...
**[07:55] Emi**
But Shuka, he saved us!
**[07:57] Shuka**
Give me Blaster Dark.
**[08:00] Mask**
It's not yours.
**[08:02] Shuka**
I need it!
**[08:04] Mask**
For what?
**[08:05] Shuka**
So that we can Realize Majesty Lord Blaster.
**[08:08] Mask**
But that's no concern of mine.
**[08:11] Shuka**
You gave us a card that one time!
**[08:13] Mask**
I only lent it to you.
**[08:15] Shuka**
Is there some good reason for you to have it?
**[08:18] Shuka**
We'd be using it to beat Jammers
and correct distortions,
**[08:21] Shuka**
which is much better than
anything you have in mind.
**[08:24] Mask**
I'm speechless...
**[08:26] Emi**
Um...
**[08:27] Mask**
Yes?
**[08:29] Emi**
I'm sorry. Shuka may be rough around
the edges, but we really do want your help.
**[08:36] Emi**
With the power of Majesty Lord Blaster,
we may even be able to get Aichi back.
**[08:42] Mask**
Unfortunately, I can't help you.
**[08:45] Mask**
I can't give you this Blaster Dark.
**[08:48] Shuka**
Why not?
**[08:50] Mask**
Because I can't trust you yet.
**[08:54] Mask**
The magical girls, Blaster Pair.
**[08:57] Mask**
Can you really say that you're true friends?
**[09:01] Emi**
True friends?
**[09:03] Shuka**
Excuse you?! We're great friends,
the pair that can't compare!
**[09:07] Shuka**
We trust each other
from the bottom of our hearts!
**[09:10] Ibuki**
All right, that's enough!
**[09:15] Mask**
How long have you been standing there, Bukki?
**[09:17] Ibuki**
The whole time.
**[09:19] Ibuki**
I figured if we let Sendou's sister swim around,
**[09:22] Ibuki**
you'd eventually take the bait,
so we've been watching her.
**[09:26] Suiko**
There are two of you in this world.
**[09:29] Mask**
What are you talking about?
**[09:31] Suiko**
Don't play dumb!
**[09:32] Ibuki**
The first time I was tossed into
another world, there were two of me.
**[09:36] Ibuki**
The Jammer me, and me myself.
**[09:41] Ibuki**
So this time I've been trying to figure out
which of you two is the Jammer.
**[09:46] Ibuki**
Are you the Jammer?
**[09:48] Ibuki**
Or are you something else altogether?
**[09:51] Mask**
Something I've been curious about:
What is that ray gun thingy?
**[09:57] Suiko**
Don't interrupt!
**[09:59] Suiko**
We're the ones asking the questions,
so you give us the answers!
**[10:03] Ibuki**
It's a rapidfire atom smasher gun!
**[10:05] Suiko**
Don't encourage him!
**[10:08] Mask**
He's seeking help from
in between the distortions.
**[10:11] Mask**
Let's save him together, Bukki.
**[10:15] Ibuki**
Who's "he"? You mean Sendou?
**[10:18] Suiko**
Don't be swayed by his smooth talk.
**[10:27] Mask**
See you later, Bukki!
**[10:29] Suiko**
He's getting away!
**[10:33] Ibuki**
Tch.
**[10:34] Ibuki**
I guess something bought off the internet
isn't even good enough for bluffing.
**[10:38] Shuka**
You're a dork!
**[10:39] Ibuki**
Someone's in a bad mood.
**[10:41] Emi**
She's been a little cranky lately.
**[10:45] Suiko**
Anyway, what was that balloon?
**[10:48] Ibuki**
You got me.
**[10:49] Ibuki**
Either he's a very clever escape artist,
or else he had someone's help.
**[10:57] Mask**
Thanks. This was a great help.
**[11:00] Voice**
No kidding! Without me,
you really can't accomplish anything.
**[11:03] Mask**
Guilty as charged.
**[11:05] Voice**
Ah, well. I'm doing you a solid here,
so be sure to pay me back with interest.
**[11:15] Shuka**
"Ren Suzugamori, leader of Team Asteroid.
Motto: 'Winners get all! Losers get lost!'
**[11:21] Shuka**
"Uses PSYqualia to wreak havoc in card shops."
**[11:26] Emi**
What's "PSYqualia"?
**[11:28] Suiko**
The whispering of the cards.
**[11:30] Ibuki**
It's like a bond between us
Vanguard fighters and the planet Cray.
**[11:37] Shuka**
So...?
**[11:38] Ibuki**
As far as I can tell, the Ren of this world
matches up pretty well with the book.
**[11:44] Emi**
Then he's not a Jammer?
**[11:47] Ibuki**
We'll have to confirm that.
**[11:49] Suiko**
And until we do, you two need to sit tight.
**[11:52] Shuka**
Don't order me around!
**[11:54] Emi**
Shuka!
**[11:56] Shuka**
That guy has Blaster Dark.
**[11:59] Shuka**
I want Blaster Dark so that
we can Realize Majesty Lord Blaster.
**[12:06] Ibuki**
All right, I'll get it for you.
**[12:09] Shuka**
Really?!
**[12:10] Suiko**
What are you talking about?!
**[12:12] Ibuki**
The fastest way to find out whether
he's a Jammer or not is by fighting him.
**[12:18] Suiko**
Admit it: you just want to play Vanguard.
**[12:20] Ibuki**
That's not true!
**[12:22] Ibuki**
It's to correct the distortions of this world!
**[12:25] Suiko**
Yeah, right.
**[12:26] Ibuki**
Listen, Suiko--
**[12:27] Suiko**
Heard you just fine.
**[12:28] Ibuki**
I'm done cooking for you!
**[12:43] Ren**
I'm bored...
**[12:45] Ren**
Maybe I've gotten too strong.
**[12:50] Lackey A**
W-We've got an emergency!
**[12:52] Lackey A**
Some guy named Kouji Ibuki
has beaten everybody in our shop!
**[13:04] Asaka**
I lost again...
**[13:06] Asaka**
At this rate, I won't be
able to stay by Ren's side.
**[13:10] Tetsu**
Devote yourself to improving.
**[13:13] Ibuki**
Hey, man. You're late.
**[13:18] Ren**
Are you the one who's hurt my colleagues?
**[13:21] Ibuki**
I'm surprised.
**[13:23] Ibuki**
Despite aiming to be the best fighter of all,
you have feelings for your fellow members.
**[13:27] Ren**
I'm not aiming for anything.
**[13:29] Ren**
Ever since I acquired PSYqualia,
I've just been the best.
**[13:32] Ibuki**
If that's the case, fight me.
**[13:35] Ibuki**
Let's see who's the strongest of all.
**[13:37] Ren**
What?
**[13:39] Ibuki**
But how about this?
If I win, I get your Blaster Dark.
**[13:44] Ren**
Good grief. You, too?
**[13:47] Tetsu**
You do know Team Asteroid's rule?
**[13:51] Ibuki**
You mean, "Winners get all, losers get lost"?
**[13:55] Ibuki**
If I lose, I'll exit gracefully
and you'll never see me again.
**[14:00] Asaka**
Ren, please be careful.
**[14:02] Asaka**
It seems he can hear
the voices of the cards, too.
**[14:06] Ren**
Huh. All the more reason for me to accept.
**[14:12] Ren**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[14:12] Ibuki**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[14:18] Shuka**
That's high-tech!
**[14:20] Emi**
Suiko is a Tatsunagi, of the Tatsunagi Group.
**[14:23] Shuka**
And their specialty is secretly filming people.
**[14:25] Suiko**
Don't insult my family.
**[14:28] Suiko**
Ibuki said he wanted you to watch this fight.
**[14:32] Suiko**
Think about why.
**[14:40] Ren**
It looks like you do possess PSYqualia, too.
**[14:44] Ibuki**
Yeah, I can sense it all.
**[14:47] Ibuki**
The pain, the smell of blood...
**[14:50] Ren**
I'm honestly overjoyed.
**[14:52] Ren**
I was on a deserted island,
but now I've found someone else.
**[14:55] Ren**
That's how it feels.
**[14:57] Ren**
That said, you're about to disappear
into the depths of the abyss.
**[15:02] Ren**
I ride!
**[15:04] Ren**
Your certain defeat, also known as
the sword of darkness, Blaster Dark!
**[15:13] Suiko**
Something is off.
**[15:16] Emi**
Those two are just fighting normally.
**[15:19] Shuka**
Which means...
**[15:21] Shuka**
...Ren isn't the Jammer!
**[15:23] Suiko Jammer**
I'm right here.
**[15:26] Emi/Shuka**
Suiko?!
**[15:28] Suiko Jammer**
Jammer-Jammer-Jammer...
**[15:31] Suiko**
Who was that?
**[15:33] Ibuki**
What's wrong?
**[15:34] Suiko**
I don't know, but I heard another voice
on Emi and Shuka's side.
**[15:38] Ibuki**
What?!
**[15:39] Ren**
It's no fun unless I have your full attention.
**[15:42] Ren**
Blaster Rapier, Blaster Axe. Go!
**[15:50] Ren**
Take this. Greediness Shadow!
**[15:56] Ren**
Drive check.
**[15:57] Ren**
Critical trigger.
**[16:00] Ibuki**
Damage check.
**[16:05] Asaka**
That's our Ren.
**[16:06] Tetsu**
Drawing criticals whenever needed.
**[16:09] Ren**
You see? This is the essence of PSYqualia.
**[16:12] Ibuki**
That power of yours...
**[16:14] Ibuki**
I remember hearing how you got it
after longing to match Kai's ability.
**[16:19] Ren**
Kai's?
**[16:21] Ibuki**
Yeah, his. The feared Solitary Fighter.
**[16:26] Ibuki**
Toshiki Kai showed you
his overwhelming strength.
**[16:33] Ren**
I don't know him.
**[16:34] Ibuki**
What?!
**[16:36] Ren**
I've never heard the name "Toshiki Kai" before.
**[16:41] Suiko**
What does this mean?
**[16:44] Suiko Jammer**
Ren Suzugamori's PSYqualia awakened
without him ever having met Toshiki Kai.
**[16:49] Suiko Jammer**
You should know the reason for that
better than anyone, flower-picking Shuka.
**[16:55] Shuka**
M-Me?
**[16:57] Suiko Jammer**
Oh, you really don't know?
**[17:00] Suiko Jammer**
Anyway, I used that distortion
to plant a Jammer seed in him.
**[17:06] Emi**
A Jammer seed?
**[17:08] Suiko Jammer**
Right now, Ren is simply
a victory-craving machine.
**[17:12] Suiko Jammer**
He won't stop until his opponent's spirit
is broken into smithereens.
**[17:17] Shuka**
That's terrible!
**[17:19] Suiko Jammer**
Indeed it is! But we Jammers
don't even need winners!
**[17:23] Suiko Jammer**
If *everyone* hates and fears Vanguard,
we'll be more than satisfied!
**[17:31] Emi**
Let's do this, Shuka!
**[17:33] Shuka**
Right!
**[17:42] The Two**
IF, stand up!
**[17:52] Mask**
Can you really say that you're true friends?
**[17:56] Emi**
No, no!
**[17:58] Emi**
I have to focus on the Jammer!
**[18:02] Shuka**
Let's go, Emi!
**[18:03] Emi**
Yeah!
**[18:05] Emi**
Blaster!
**[18:06] Shuka**
Aerial inversion!
**[18:07] Emi/Shuka**
Spinning Shot!
**[18:11] Suiko Jammer**
Blast you, magical girls!
**[18:13] Suiko Jammer**
Come, Mobile Hospital, Feather Palace!
**[18:23] Emi**
No way...
**[18:24] Shuka**
It's humongous!
**[18:26] Suiko Jammer**
Feather Palace, crush them!
**[18:33] Shuka**
Ow ow ow!
**[18:34] Emi**
That hurt!
**[18:35] Emi**
You're too rough!
**[18:39] Tetsu**
What was that?!
**[18:40] Ibuki**
This is bad! We have to evacuate!
**[18:43] Ren**
Where are you going?
**[18:45] Ren**
We're in the middle of a fight.
**[18:47] Ren**
You'll experience the abyss till the bitter end!
**[18:53] Suiko**
Everyone, get outside!
**[18:55] Tetsu**
What did you do to Ren?!
**[18:58] Ibuki**
File your complaint later!
**[19:09] Emi**
Blaster Blade!
**[19:14] Suiko Jammer**
Now to finish you off...
**[19:25] Emi**
Mask, the Dark!
**[19:28] Mask**
Like I said, I can't trust you two.
**[19:33] Mask**
Your friendship is a fraud.
**[19:36] Mask**
You may resemble a tight-knit duo, but in
the true sense, you're not on the same page.
**[19:43] Shuka**
That's not--
**[19:44] Mask**
It's not true?
**[19:45] Mask**
Even when you haven't told her
the meaning of "flower-picking"?
**[19:50] Emi**
What's he talking about?
**[19:52] Mask**
She has a secret.
**[19:54] Mask**
A secret she can't tell anyone.
**[19:57] Mask**
And as long as she has that secret,
you two can't become true friends.
**[20:03] Emi**
Who cares?
**[20:06] Emi**
She's a girl!
**[20:07] Emi**
Of course she has one or
two secrets she can't tell anyone!
**[20:12] Emi**
But even so, I still trust Shuka!
**[20:16] Shuka**
Emi...
**[20:19] Mask**
All right. If you insist, then I'll let you
borrow this once more.
**[20:24] Shuka**
Emi!
**[20:32] Emi**
Realize!
**[20:43] Suiko Jammer**
Wh-What's that light?!
**[20:49] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[20:54] Emi**
Realize!
**[20:56] Emi**
Majesty Lord Blaster!
**[21:03] Suiko Jammer**
It can't be!
**[21:25] Ibuki**
When he was a kid, Kai had Blaster Blade.
**[21:30] Ibuki**
And led by Kai's strength,
Ren awakened to his PSYqualia powers.
**[21:35] Ibuki**
Maybe it was simple for him
to get Blaster Dark back then.
**[21:39] Mask**
But that world line no longer exists.
**[21:43] Mask**
The Kai we know isn't here.
**[21:46] Ibuki**
What do you mean, Kai isn't here?
**[21:50] Mask**
I think *she* knows exactly what it means.
**[21:54] Emi**
You know?
**[21:56] Shuka**
What are you talking about?!
**[21:58] Shuka**
First of all, who even *are* you?!
**[22:01] Mask**
Okay, then. I'll show you...
**[22:04] Mask**
...my actual face.
**[22:07] Ibuki**
Quit being theatrical, Ren Suzugamori.
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Shadow Paladin's
Phantom Blaster Overlord!
***SIGN*** Phantom Blaster Overlord
**[23:53] Narrator**
If the Soul contains a "Phantom Blaster Dragon",
**[23:55] Narrator**
this unit gains power and an extra critical!
**[23:57] Narrator**
When this unit attacks, if you retire
any number of allies that you like,
**[24:01] Narrator**
you can retire that same number
of your opponent's rear-guards!
**[24:03] Narrator**
On top of that, if your opponent's
Vanguard is grade 3 or higher,
**[24:06] Narrator**
you can call a unit with "Blaster"
in its name from your deck,
**[24:09] Narrator**
and use it for an additional attack!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Ibuki**
Sheesh, while your identity was obvious,
you just had to draw it out for eight episodes,
**[24:20] Ibuki**
Mr. Mask, the Dark a.k.a Ren Suzugamori!
**[24:22] Ren**
That's so rude, Bukki.
**[24:23] Ren**
If someone's hiding their identity with a mask,
**[24:25] Ren**
going "I know you're Hirata!" or "Yamada!"
is a serious breach of etiquette!
**[24:29] Ren**
Quit the 80's pro-wrestling tropes!
**[24:31] Ibuki**
But as you say that, I'm now seeing
even more suspicious masked people!
**[24:35] Ren**
Next time on *Vanguard if*: "Crybaby Rekka's
Grand Transformation (temp title)."

**[00:06] Aichi**
On that day, my whole world changed.
**[00:10] Aichi**
I was going to learn about imagination
and the world, and then get strong.
**[00:15] Aichi**
Or I was supposed to...
**[00:35] SK Kourin**
Blaster Blade. Blaster Dark.
**[00:39] SK Kourin**
Light and dark must not become one.
**[00:43] SK Naoki**
Vanguard deciding all matters?
**[00:45] SK Naoki**
We won't allow the creation
of such a horrifying world.
**[00:49] SK Shingo**
SK4 will prevent that from happening.
**[00:52] SK Kourin**
Sanctuary Knights Four, SK4...
**[00:56] SK Kourin**
Up to now, many Jammers
have been defeated,
**[00:58] SK Kourin**
and many different worlds,
woven like spiderwebs, have been lost.
**[01:09] SK Kourin**
You know Aichi's orders.
**[01:11] SK Kourin**
He says not to let any more people
suffer because of Vanguard.
**[01:16] SK Shingo**
Leave it to us members of SK4.
**[01:19] SK Naoki**
All will be done for
the sake of the Sanctuary.
**[01:22] Naoki/Shingo**
For the Sanctuary!

**[03:02] Ibuki**
My name is Kouji Ibuki.
**[03:04] Ibuki**
A variety of worlds have been transformed,
with histories different from the one I know.
**[03:09] Ibuki**
The man with huge shoulder pads,
who calls himself Mask, the Dark
**[03:12] Ibuki**
and always appears in these worlds,
has revealed himself to be...
**[03:15] Ibuki**
...Ren Suzugamori.
**[03:21] Emi**
I still can't believe it!
**[03:23] Emi**
Mask, the Dark is really Ren Suzugamori!
**[03:27] Ibuki**
Sendou's sister, you probably
didn't realize it because--
**[03:31] Suiko**
No hurting the feelings of an innocent girl!
**[03:36] Ren**
I hid my identity so I could watch over you two.
**[03:40] Shuka**
But why?!
**[03:41] Ren**
Why what, Shuka?
**[03:43] Shuka**
Why were you so mean to us?
**[03:46] Ren**
Was I?
**[03:49] Emi**
Shuka, Mask, the Dark
has saved us a bunch of times!
**[03:56] Shuka**
But still...
**[03:58] Shuka**
You know what I need most...
**[04:01] Ren**
And why is that?
**[04:05] Emi**
Shuka? Shuka...
**[04:08] Emi**
Shuka...
**[04:26] Shuka**
The world has... become distorted...
**[04:28] Shuka**
No!
**[04:31] Emi**
Shuka...
**[04:32] Emi**
Shuka...
**[04:33] Emi**
Shuka...
**[04:35] Emi**
Shuka, get ahold of yourself.
**[04:37] Shuka**
If I had that...
**[04:38] Shuka**
If I had that card...
**[04:40] Rekka**
You could wipe away your sin!
**[04:46] Rekka**
Isn't that what you have in mind,
flower-picking Shuka?!
**[04:49] Ibuki**
"Flower-picking"? Come to think of it,
that's how Shuka described herself before.
**[04:53] Suiko**
Hey, what are you doing here?!
**[04:58] Ren**
Hi. What's up?
**[05:01] Ren**
It's unusual for you to make an appearance.
**[05:03] Ibuki**
An acquaintance of Ren's?
**[05:07] Suiko**
Never mind "acquaintance." That hairstyle...
**[05:10] Rekka**
I won't let you carry out your plan!
**[05:13] Shuka**
Who are you?!
**[05:15] Rekka**
A beautiful warrior woman, just passing by.
**[05:18] Rekka**
The name is Mask, the Rekka!
**[05:22] Emi**
Rekka?
**[05:25] Rekka**
Oh dear, you figured me out.
**[05:27] Suiko**
You used your own name in the introduction.
**[05:30] Suiko**
And it was obvious from the start.
**[05:32] Rekka**
Su, long time no seeing you in this world!
**[05:35] Emi**
Um, you're Rekka with ULTRARARE, right?
**[05:39] Rekka**
You got it!
**[05:40] Rekka**
Except I'm not this world's C-list idol,
but Rekka, the super-superior top idol!
**[05:48] Suiko**
But I don't understand why you two are here now.
**[05:52] Ren**
It's the opposite.
**[05:53] Ibuki**
The opposite?
**[05:54] Rekka**
We were sent here by Nome when this began.
**[05:58] Ren**
Yup.
**[06:00] Rekka**
The accounts in the Akashic Book
were all messed up,
**[06:03] Rekka**
so Takuto investigated the world line,
but then he disappeared.
**[06:08] Ren**
Nome asked us to search for Takuto.
**[06:17] Ibuki**
But Nome didn't say anything about you guys.
**[06:22] Rekka**
Well, it goes without saying that as the cutest
member of ULTRARARE, I was chosen first.
**[06:29] Ren**
We quickly realized that
the world line was out of whack,
**[06:32] Ren**
bringing about a myriad of distorted worlds.
**[06:36] Rekka**
Then we finally pinpointed the cause.
**[06:43] Ibuki**
Why are you acting so pompous?
**[06:44] Ibuki**
We know the cause too.
**[06:46] Ibuki**
Instead of playing Vanguard,
Aichi Sendou is holed up in the Sanctuary.
**[06:50] Rekka**
But how did that come about?
**[06:53] Rekka**
Well?
**[06:54] Emi**
W-Well, Aichi has never had many friends...
**[06:59] Emi**
So he was all alone, and ultimately...
**[07:03] Ren**
But the Aichi we know has plenty of friends.
**[07:09] Suiko**
Aichi Sendou was given a Vanguard card.
**[07:12] Suiko**
That's what led him to play Vanguard.
**[07:14] Rekka**
Right.
**[07:15] Rekka**
Toshiki Kai gave him the card Blaster Blade.
**[07:25] Emi**
Blaster Blade?
**[07:28] Emi**
Shuka also has that...
**[07:30] Rekka**
We witnessed it ourselves,
**[07:33] Rekka**
the day when Toshiki Kai and Aichi Sendou meet.
**[07:37] Rekka**
The day their destiny comes alive,
along with Blaster Blade's.
**[07:41] Rekka**
And yet, they didn't meet!
**[07:44] Ibuki**
Why didn't you force them to meet?
**[07:48] Ren**
There was no point.
**[07:50] Ren**
See, Kai didn't even have Blaster Blade.
**[07:57] Ibuki**
That's ridiculous! Kai had that card
back when he was a kid!
**[08:03] Rekka**
Yes, it was his precious Blaster Blade card...
**[08:06] Rekka**
Only now, Kai doesn't have it.
**[08:08] Rekka**
And he never gave it to Aichi.
**[08:11] Rekka**
Gee, I wonder where it could be...
**[08:14] Rekka**
I'm sure *you* know, right, Shuka?
**[08:18] Shuka**
At the time, I...
**[08:23] Suiko**
Shuka, where did you get your Blaster Blade?
**[08:28] Shuka**
I'm a "flower-picker."
**[08:30] Shuka**
My job is listening for the voices of cards
nearly forgotten and gathering them up.
**[08:37] Suiko**
You once told us you were an Elemental.
**[08:41] Suiko**
But not the kind of Elemental fairy
from the planet Cray, right?
**[08:46] Shuka**
I... I don't know.
**[08:54] Shuka**
I've been a "flower-picker"
ever since I was born.
**[08:57] Shuka**
I can hear the voices of the cards.
**[09:01] Shuka**
"Don't forget us." "We're right here."
"We still want to fight," they say.
**[09:07] Rekka**
You stole Blaster Blade from Toshiki Kai.
**[09:11] Ren**
That's what started the whole mess.
**[09:13] Ibuki**
You're the cause, Shuka?
**[09:17] Shuka**
No!
**[09:18] Suiko**
It's your fault that Toshiki Kai
couldn't give Aichi Sendou Blaster Blade.
**[09:28] Shuka**
I didn't know anything about that!
**[09:35] Shuka**
Please believe me, Emi.
**[09:40] Shuka**
Emi...
**[09:48] Shuka**
No!
**[09:50] Ren**
Wait!
**[09:50] Ibuki**
W-Wings?!
**[09:54] Emi**
Shuka, come back!
**[10:00] Ibuki**
We have to pursue her!
**[10:03] Suiko**
Jammers!
**[10:04] Suiko**
They're finally here!
**[10:08] Ibuki**
Are you okay?
**[10:12] Suiko**
You know karate?
**[10:16] Ibuki**
And how believable is it that you
just happen to be an expert martial artist?
**[10:19] Suiko**
Hardly surprising for a top idol!
***SIGN*** Stinkin' Gorilla
**[10:23] Rekka**
What she said!
**[10:25] Ibuki**
Don't think you can get away with anything
just because you're top idols.
**[10:29] Ren**
I'm about ready to get serious here...
**[10:34] Ren**
So long!
**[10:36] Ibuki**
You're running away?!
**[10:40] Ibuki**
Who the heck are you guys?!
**[10:42] SK Shingo**
Cream Tornado.
**[10:44] SK Naoki**
Orange Cyclone.
**[10:47] Ibuki**
Aren't you Naoki Ishida?!
**[10:50] Ibuki**
Ren, are they teammates of Mask, the Dark?
**[10:53] Ren**
No, no.
**[10:55] SK Naoki**
We're SK4, the guardians of the Sanctuary.
**[10:58] SK Shingo**
We won't allow you to
interfere with him any more.
**[11:06] Rekka**
Let me go!
**[11:08] SK Naoki**
Do it.
**[11:19] Shuka**
If I can just give this card to Aichi Sendou...
**[11:22] Shuka**
...I'm sure it'll fix everything.
**[11:45] Shuka**
What should I do?
**[11:47] Shuka**
I can't get out of the forest.
**[11:55] Shuka**
Emi, I...
**[12:06] Kourin**
Who's that?
**[12:08] Shuka**
You're... Aichi Sendou.
**[12:11] Aichi**
You know me? Are you a friend of Emi's?
**[12:17] Aichi**
Did you get lost?
**[12:20] Aichi**
Are you okay?
**[12:21] Aichi**
Do you know how to get home?
**[12:24] Shuka**
More importantly, this is for you.
**[12:27] Kourin**
Keep that away from Aichi!
**[12:55] Suiko**
You should be happy.
**[12:58] Suiko**
It looks like you finally
get to have a Vanguard fight.
**[13:01] Ren**
Now that you mention it,
that does look like a fight table.
**[13:05] Ibuki**
I can't see us holding
any kind of decent fight here.
**[13:11] Rekka**
Why did Nome send someone as useless as you?
**[13:15] Ibuki**
Whoa, hold it right there!
**[13:17] Ibuki**
First of all, I bet Nome sent me and Suiko
because you two were incompetent.
**[13:23] Suiko**
Just what have you
been doing all this time?!
**[13:25] Rekka**
It wasn't my fault!
**[13:28] Rekka**
He's the one...
**[13:31] Ren**
It seemed possible to create
all kinds of different worlds,
**[13:35] Ren**
so on a whim, I made a world
where Woofguard was popular,
***SIGN*** Woofguard Club
**[13:39] Ren**
and one where Tetsu would become
the president of a company, and so on.
**[13:43] Ibuki**
That was your doing?!
**[13:45] Rekka**
And I kept cleaning up after him,
erasing their memories of Ren.
**[13:50] Suiko**
So that's why no one had memories of Ren
on any of the worlds we visited.
**[13:54] Ibuki**
Nome couldn't get in touch with you guys,
so he sent Suiko and me.
**[13:58] Emi**
Shuka!
**[14:01] Shuka**
Emi...
**[14:03] Shuka**
I'm sorry.
**[14:04] Shuka**
They're right.
**[14:07] Shuka**
Now I understand. This was all my fault.
**[14:16] Ren**
Aichi?
**[14:17] Rekka**
Aichi Sendou...
**[14:21] Suiko**
I've never seen Aichi
with such a cold glare before.
**[14:25] Ibuki**
Exactly. We could never let Kai see this Aichi.
**[14:30] Emi**
But he's still Aichi.
**[14:33] Emi**
Aichi...
**[14:35] Aichi**
Emi?
**[14:36] Emi**
Aichi!
**[14:37] Emi**
Come home with me!
**[14:41] Emi**
These people are saying that
you're not the real Aichi!
**[14:47] Emi**
The real you made many friends, got stronger,
and can face the world... all using Vanguard!
**[14:57] Emi**
So please, let's go home, Aichi!
**[15:02] Kourin**
*That* person isn't the true Aichi!
**[15:04] Emi**
Aichi...
**[15:06] Suiko**
That voice...
**[15:07] Rekka**
It can't be...
**[15:08] SK Kourin**
Aichi hates Vanguard.
**[15:14] SK Kourin**
Vanguard makes people miserable.
**[15:16] Emi**
What?!
**[15:18] Aichi**
I'm going to destroy Vanguard!
**[15:21] Aichi**
I'll wipe it off the face of this Earth!
**[15:23] Ren**
My, my. Sounds like a line
I've heard somewhere before.
**[15:28] Ibuki**
You're right.
**[15:30] Ibuki**
I myself hated Vanguard, and tried to sever
the bonds between fighters and Vanguard.
**[15:36] Ibuki**
I see. This is what Nome meant by my "sin."
**[15:40] Ibuki**
Is that why he chose me?
**[15:43] Aichi**
This thing means nothing.
**[15:51] Rekka**
Not even after you got Blaster Blade?!
**[15:54] Rekka**
It didn't fix the distortion?!
**[15:56] Suiko**
Just giving him the card isn't enough.
**[15:59] Suiko**
But what else?!
**[16:01] SK Naoki**
This world doesn't need you people.
**[16:03] SK Shingo**
For Aichi's sake, begone!
**[16:06] SK Kourin**
And never come back to this world!
**[16:10] Ibuki**
End of the line?
**[16:12] Suiko**
Even if you send us back to our old world,
we'll have lost someone dear to us.
**[16:16] Suiko**
Aichi will still be here, like this...
**[16:19] Rekka**
I won't stand for that!
**[16:21] Emi**
Shuka!
**[16:22] Shuka**
It's all my fault.
**[16:24] Shuka**
It's because I picked Blaster Blade.
**[16:28] Emi**
You heard the voice of the card, didn't you?
**[16:30] Emi**
Saying, "Don't forget me! I want to fight more!"
**[16:34] Shuka**
I don't know anymore...
**[16:38] Shuka**
The feelings of fighters and children
everywhere are stored up within the cards!
**[16:42] Shuka**
That's what you hear, isn't it?!
**[16:45] Shuka**
Emi... You mean, you believe me?
**[16:49] Emi**
Yes, I believe you!
**[16:50] Emi**
Ever since we met!
**[16:55] Emi**
Shuka! We can...
**[16:58] Shuka**
We can fight!
**[17:04] Aichi**
What?!
**[17:06] Suiko**
What she said about
hearing the voices of the cards...
**[17:08] Suiko**
...was true?
**[17:11] Shuka**
Emi!
**[17:20] Aichi**
Darkface Gredora...
**[17:22] SK Kourin**
Its evil form reveals your true nature.
**[17:26] Emi**
If Shuka did anything wrong,
I'll bear half of the responsibility!
**[17:31] Shuka**
Emi!
**[17:41] The Two**
IF, stand up!
**[17:48] Emi**
Magical Girl Emi!
**[17:50] Shuka**
Card Fairy Shuka!
**[17:52] The Two**
We're the Blaster Pair!
**[17:56] SK Kourin**
I won't let you lay a finger on him!
**[17:59] SK Kourin**
Destroy them!
**[18:02] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[18:09] Emi**
Realize!
**[18:20] Emi**
Please! Make Aichi see the light!
**[18:42] Ibuki**
They did it!
**[18:43] Suiko**
No, not yet.
**[18:50] Ren**
It's like Aichi himself's become a Vanguard.
**[19:00] Ibuki**
The Aichi Sendou I know
would never hate Vanguard.
**[19:05] Ibuki**
Defeat that Sendou!
**[19:09] Emi**
We'll take down that Aichi
and then get the real Aichi back!
**[19:14] Shuka**
You're sure about this?
**[19:16] Emi**
Yeah.
**[19:17] Ren**
You may be able to use this now.
**[19:22] Shuka**
Blaster Dark...
**[19:24] Ren**
Light and darkness are at war within Aichi.
**[19:27] Ren**
So we must also fight with
the powers of light and darkness.
**[19:32] Emi**
Blaster Dark!
**[19:46] Shuka**
We need you, young lord of magic!
**[19:49] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[20:00] Emi**
Realize!
**[20:06] Shuka**
When the powers of light and darkness
become one, Majesty Lord Blaster is born!
**[20:13] Emi**
I'm sure this will wake Aichi up.
**[20:15] Ren**
But if they can't master it...
**[20:25] Shuka**
Majesty...
**[20:30] Ibuki**
Sendou became Majesty Lord Blaster!
**[20:34] Ren**
I knew it was too soon...
**[20:36] Ren**
Aichi rode it.
**[20:38] Shuka**
What?!
**[21:06] Ibuki**
Darn it! We were so close.
**[21:10] Suiko**
Rekka, where are you going?
**[21:26] Emi**
Blaster Blade!
**[21:27] Shuka**
Blaster Dark!
**[21:29] The Two**
Huh?
**[21:30] Emi**
Where's the Majesty Lord Blaster card?
**[21:34] Shuka**
It's gone!
**[21:37] Suiko**
What's wrong?
**[21:39] Ibuki**
Remember the Ren who was distorted
because he never met Kai?
**[21:45] Suiko**
Yes.
**[21:46] Ibuki**
What if Aichi Sendou became like this
because he never met Toshiki Kai?
**[21:56] Aichi**
A miracle, from light and darkness intersecting.
**[21:59] Aichi**
But it will never happen again.
**[22:03] Aichi**
Isn't that right, Kai?
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Megacolony's
Evil Governor, Darkface Gredora!
***SIGN*** Evil Governor, Darkface Gredora
**[23:55] Narrator**
By using its skill, you can give one of your
opponent's rear-guards a Cradle marker!
**[24:00] Narrator**
Any unit bound by a Cradle
loses both its power and skills!
**[24:04] Narrator**
And when that unit's retired, you can bring
a unit of the same grade into your hand!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Ibuki**
Next time, on *Cardfight!! Vanguard -if-*...
**[24:18] Suiko**
Um, hello? Sorry to interrupt
while you're trying to sound cool...
**[24:22] Ibuki**
It's a new chapter, but since I can't
reveal anything beyond the episode title,
**[24:25] Ibuki**
I thought I'd give a little ambiance.
**[24:26] Suiko**
Meaning, the production process was so tough
they couldn't complete preview footage in time?
**[24:29] Ibuki**
Hey!
**[24:29] Suiko**
No raising your hand to a top idol!
**[24:31] Suiko**
Is Toshiki Kai really that important?
**[24:33] Ibuki**
Yeah, to Aichi Sendou at least,
he's the most important person of all.
**[24:37] Ibuki**
Of course, to me as well.
**[24:39] Suiko**
Are you saying it's a love triangle?!
***SIGN*** if 14

**[00:06] Shuka**
This scent...
**[00:08] Shuka**
We're almost there.
**[00:14] Ibuki**
You plan to take Blaster Blade
to the past and return it to Kai?
**[00:22] Shuka**
Yeah.
**[00:23] Ibuki**
Can you do that?
**[00:28] Ibuki**
What?
**[00:29] Suiko**
Both they and we have traveled through time
again and again, much less to parallel worlds.
**[00:37] Ibuki**
Oh yeah...
**[00:42] Ibuki**
Allow me to rephrase that.
**[00:45] Ibuki**
Because you happened upon
Kai's Blaster Blade and took it with you,
**[00:50] Ibuki**
Aichi Sendou never received
a Blaster Blade from Kai.
**[00:57] Ibuki**
And the Aichi Sendou
who never discovered Vanguard...
**[01:01] Ibuki**
...built Sanctuary, and stays holed up in there.
**[01:07] Ibuki**
But if you can return Blaster Blade to Kai,
Aichi Sendou will receive the card.
**[01:15] Emi**
I'm sure Aichi will come home then!
***SIGN*** if 14
Toshiki Kai
**[02:59] Shuka**
I see it!
**[03:10] Shuka**
Right here!
**[03:15] Shuka**
Please open!
**[03:20] Shuka**
Let's go.
**[03:21] Emi**
Yeah!
**[03:30] Shuka**
What?!
**[03:31] Shuka**
Now we can't get in?!
**[03:48] Shuka**
I have to return Blaster Blade!
**[03:51] Shuka**
Wait!
**[03:52] Emi**
No!
**[03:55] Emi**
There!
**[03:57] Shuka**
Emi...
**[04:08] Emi**
Shuka, look!
**[04:11] Shuka**
Royal Paladin units!
**[04:14] Emi**
Don't tell me... Aichi sent them?!
**[04:20] Emi**
Did Aichi make it so we can't get in?!
**[04:23] Shuka**
I don't think so.
**[04:26] Shuka**
If he could do that, he could've
stopped us from even making it this far.
**[04:32] Emi**
I see.
**[04:35] Emi**
You're right.
**[04:44] Emi**
Let's go back.
**[04:45] Shuka**
But--
**[04:52] Emi**
Shuka!
**[04:54] Shuka**
Okay!
**[05:08] Ibuki**
I see.
**[05:16] Ibuki**
Hey, fairy.
**[05:19] Shuka**
Are you talking to me?
**[05:21] Ibuki**
Do you know why you
weren't able to gain access?
**[05:28] Ibuki**
Then let's get to the bottom of it.
**[05:31] Ibuki**
You can always try that again.
**[05:35] Shuka**
Are you trying to cheer me up, old guy?
**[05:42] Ibuki**
I'm not old, and I wasn't
trying to cheer you up there.
**[05:48] Shuka**
Thank you.
**[05:52] Suiko**
You do have your good points.
**[05:54] Ibuki**
Who asked you?
**[06:05] Ibuki**
So if the Aichi Sendou who stays there
never received Blaster Blade from Kai...
**[06:16] Suiko**
What about it?
**[06:18] Ibuki**
What is Kai doing now?
**[06:23] Ibuki**
Did not giving Blaster Blade to Aichi
also cause Kai to change somehow?
**[06:36] Kourin**
I am here to convey Aichi's will.
**[06:44] Kourin**
Invite Toshiki Kai here.
**[06:48] Naoki**
Invite him?
**[06:52] Miwa**
Huh. Toshiki Kai, eh?
**[06:59] Miwa**
I'm Pink Hurricane.
**[07:01] Miwa**
Sanctuary Knights Four can't go on with
just three members forever, am I right?
**[07:11] SK4**
For the Sanctuary!
**[07:14] Miwa**
So I know this is out of the blue,
but would you let me handle this job,
**[07:20] Miwa**
Yellow Typhoon?
**[07:24] Miwa**
A face like that is just my type!
**[07:26] Naoki**
Why, you! Newbies don't get to make requests!
**[07:30] Shingo**
I agree with Orange Cyclone!
**[07:33] Shingo**
What if we were to declare that
the one who wins this "fight" gets the job?
**[07:40] Naoki**
I like where this's goin'.
**[07:48] Miwa**
Hang on.
**[07:50] Miwa**
Whenever I hear the name "Toshiki Kai,"
for some reason, I get the chills.
**[07:58] Kourin**
Oh? In that case, you should go.
**[08:01] Naoki**
How come *you* get to decide?!
**[08:04] Shingo**
I'm with him!
**[08:06] Kourin**
See what happens while you bicker?
**[08:13] Naoki**
That punk!
**[08:16] Shingo**
That settles it, then.
**[08:18] Shingo**
Let's see what he can accomplish.
**[08:21] Naoki**
Okay, fine...
**[08:26] Shuka**
Let's visit Toshiki Kai's house
**[08:29] Shuka**
and see whether anything
about him has changed.
**[08:34] Ibuki**
About that...
**[08:37] Ibuki**
Sorry. I don't know where Kai lives.
**[08:41] Suiko**
While I'm used to your uselessness...
**[08:45] Suiko**
...the book won't open to the Toshiki Kai page,
so we can't rely on this, either.
**[08:50] Shuka**
Then we can't meet Toshiki Kai?
**[08:53] Ibuki**
Don't worry.
**[08:55] Ibuki**
I know which high school he goes to, so...
**[08:57] Miwa**
Ibuki?
**[09:00] Miwa**
It really is you! Long time no see!
**[09:05] Ibuki**
Miwa!
**[09:11] Miwa**
After all this time, "Take me to Kai's house"
is the first thing you have to say to me?
**[09:18] Ibuki**
These three really want to meet him.
**[09:22] Shuka**
Hey, how do you old guys know each other?
**[09:26] Miwa**
"Old guys"?
**[09:27] Shuka**
Yeah, old guys.
**[09:30] Miwa**
She your niece?
**[09:32] Ibuki**
No!
**[09:33] Miwa**
Actually, I've got a more important question:
**[09:39] Miwa**
She your girlfriend?
**[09:40] Suiko**
Certainly not!
**[09:40] Ibuki**
No!
**[09:41] Miwa**
I see! That's great!
**[09:44] Miwa**
Real good to know...
**[09:45] Suiko**
"That's great"?
**[09:47] Miwa**
'Cause you're just my type!
**[09:51] Ibuki**
Still, I'm glad we ran into you.
**[09:55] Miwa**
I know, right?
**[10:09] Miwa**
This is the place.
**[10:12] Ibuki**
It's a mansion!
**[10:14] Miwa**
Kai's dad is the president of a company.
**[10:23] Shuka**
Is this not like you remember?
**[10:25] Ibuki**
Y-Yeah...
**[10:31] Mother**
Yes?
**[10:32] Miwa**
Good evening!
**[10:35] Shuka**
How so?
**[10:40] Miwa**
Something wrong?
**[10:41] Ibuki**
N-No, nothing. Right?
**[10:44] Shuka**
Nope!
**[10:45] Miwa**
Okay...
**[10:56] Kai**
What is it, Miwa?
**[10:58] Kai**
What's going on at this time of night?
**[11:03] Miwa**
I ran into an old acquaintance,
so I brought him here.
**[11:07] Ibuki**
H-Hi...
**[11:10] Kai**
Ibuki! Is that you?!
**[11:13] Ibuki**
It's been a while, Kai.
**[11:17] Kai**
It sure has been!
**[11:19] Ibuki**
Y-Yeah...
**[11:23] Ibuki (M)**
This is Toshiki Kai?
**[11:26] Mother**
Toshiki, if your friends are out there,
why don't you invite them in?
**[11:30] Kai**
Sure, Mom.
**[11:33] Ibuki (M)**
His mom?!
**[11:38] Father**
Welcome.
**[11:40] Father**
Thank you for being friends with my son.
**[11:42] Kai**
Dad, don't be so formal...
**[11:48] Mother**
This is perfect timing. I made too much curry.
**[12:04] Kai**
Ibuki...
**[12:06] Kai**
She your girlfriend?
**[12:07] Ibuki**
No!
**[12:07] Suiko**
Certainly not!
**[12:08] Kai**
Oh, sorry.
**[12:10] Mother**
How your mother wishes you'd bring
someone like that home, Toshiki.
**[12:16] Kai**
Knock it off, Mom!
**[12:19] Kai**
Sheesh...
**[12:23] Ibuki (M)**
Is this how Kai would've turned out
if his parents hadn't disappeared?
**[12:28] Shuka**
This isn't the Toshiki Kai you know, old guy?
**[12:39] Kai**
Ibuki.
**[12:41] Kai**
What's your connection to those three?
**[12:48] Miwa**
Maybe they're Vanguard friends?
**[12:52] Emi**
Y-Yes! Isn't that right, Shuka?
**[12:55] Shuka**
Yes, exactly!
**[12:58] Kai**
Vanguard?
**[12:59] Miwa**
What, have you forgotten?
**[13:02] Miwa**
Ibuki taught us how to play it
back in elementary school.
**[13:05] Shuka**
Y-You did?
**[13:07] Ibuki**
Yeah. I taught them both how to play Vanguard.
**[13:15] Kai**
Now I remember!
**[13:16] Kai**
It's that card game!
**[13:18] Miwa**
Why not play it now, for old times' sake?
**[13:21] Miwa**
Sound good, Ibuki?
**[13:28] Ibuki**
Sounds great. Shall we, Kai?
**[13:31] Kai**
Sure, let's play.
**[13:35] Kai**
Now where did I put that deck...?
**[13:39] Kai**
I thought I had it here...
**[13:53] Shuka**
To the Toshiki Kai you know, Vanguard is
more than a bygone memory, isn't it?
**[13:58] Ibuki**
Yeah, he plays it daily.
**[14:02] Shuka**
I'm glad...
**[14:04] Kai**
Aha, found it!
**[14:12] The Two**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[14:17] Ibuki**
Glyme...
**[14:19] Young Kai**
I ride Glyme!
**[14:24] Ibuki**
You're using Royal Paladin,
just like you did back then, huh?
**[14:29] Kai**
Yeah.
**[14:30] Emi**
Shuka, doesn't Aichi use Royal Paladin units?
**[14:35] Kai**
Aichi?
**[14:37] Emi**
Do you know Aichi?
**[14:40] Kai**
Aichi...
**[14:49] Kai**
Aichi... Sendou...
**[14:53] Ibuki**
Wait, you know him?
**[14:54] Kai**
Y-Yeah...
**[14:56] Emi**
I'm...
**[14:57] Emi**
I'm Aichi Sendou's sister!
**[15:00] Ibuki**
Where did you meet Aichi Sendou?
**[15:05] Kai**
Wait, my mistake.
**[15:07] Kai**
I've never met him.
**[15:10] Emi**
Oh...
**[15:13] Kai**
Sorry.
**[15:20] Ibuki**
I ride! Sunset Edge, Duskblade!
**[15:24] Kai**
Um... This one!
**[15:28] Kai**
I ride! Knight Squire, Allen!
**[15:31] Aichi**
I ride! Knight Squire, Allen!
**[15:35] Kai (M)**
What was that just now?
**[15:42] Ibuki**
Blast Monk of the Thundering Foot attacks.
**[15:45] Kai**
Um... I guard!
**[15:48] Aichi**
Bringer of Good Luck, Epona!
**[15:51] Kai (M)**
And again...
**[15:55] Kai**
Stand and draw.
**[15:57] Kai**
Ride the Vanguard!
**[15:59] Kai**
Soul Saver Dragon!
**[16:01] Ibuki**
Soul Saver Dragon?
**[16:04] Ibuki (M)**
Kai didn't have that in his deck back then.
**[16:09] Kai**
Is something wrong?
**[16:11] Miwa**
Kai, about your deck...
**[16:14] Miwa**
Does it contain Blaster Blade?
**[16:18] Kai**
Blaster Blade?
**[16:20] Miwa**
Back in grade school, that was the card
that made your imagination explode.
**[16:27] Young Kai**
This is the card that really
made my imagination explode.
**[16:31] Young Kai**
Ride the Vanguard!
**[16:40] Kai**
Yes...
**[16:42] Kai**
That's right.
**[16:44] Kai**
Blaster Blade made my imagination...
**[16:47] Young Kai**
Just imagine it.
**[16:50] Young Kai**
If you can imagine yourself being as strong
as him, I bet you'll be able to change.
**[16:58] Young Kai**
Imagination will become your strength.
**[17:03] Ibuki**
Kai?
**[17:05] Ibuki**
Are you all right?
**[17:07] Kai**
Y-Yeah.
**[17:10] Ibuki**
Do you need a break?
**[17:13] Kai**
I thought I'd lost it...
**[17:17] Kai**
Blaster Blade, I mean.
**[17:19] Kai**
But now...
**[17:21] Kai**
...I feel like I gave it to someone.
**[17:40] Shuka**
H-Here it is...
**[17:49] Ibuki**
Hey...
**[17:57] Aichi**
Stand up, my avatar!
**[18:00] Aichi**
Blaster Blade!
**[18:07] Kai**
Who is that?
**[18:10] Kai**
Who... are you?!
**[18:13] Shuka**
I-I'm...
**[18:14] Ibuki**
He doesn't mean you.
**[18:21] Kai**
I don't know you!
**[18:30] Miwa**
Then how about I take you to meet him?
**[18:36] Ibuki**
Miwa?
**[18:37] Kai**
M-Miwa, do you know him...?
**[18:40] Miwa**
Of course I know him.
**[18:42] Miwa**
I brought these guys over
since I was curious about how you'd react,
**[18:47] Miwa**
but this went beyond my expectations.
**[18:50] Kai**
What are you talking about?
**[18:52] Ibuki**
Miwa, don't tell me you're...
**[18:55] Miwa**
Bingo.
**[19:01] Miwa**
I'm Pink Typhoon,
one of the Sanctuary Knights Four.
**[19:07] Ibuki**
Pink?
**[19:08] Emi**
You mean...
**[19:09] Shuka**
You're one of the four knights?!
**[19:11] Miwa**
Toshiki Kai, I invite you to Sanctuary.
**[19:16] Shuka**
Why invite him to Sanctuary?!
**[19:18] Miwa**
Don't ask me. I'm just following
Aichi Sendou's orders.
**[19:23] Emi**
Aichi's orders?!
**[19:26] Guy**
Guy!
**[19:29] Kai**
L-Let go of me!
**[19:32] Shuka**
No!
**[19:39] Shuka**
Ow...
**[19:41] Shuka**
Emi!
**[19:42] Emi**
Right!
**[19:43] Shuka**
Your tomorrow is my tomorrow!
**[19:46] Emi**
My wish is your wish!
**[19:49] Shuka**
We are...
**[19:50] Emi**
...two who shine brighter than the stars!
**[19:52] The Two**
The Blaster Pair!
**[19:58] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[20:05] Emi**
Realize!
**[20:16] Miwa**
Go!
**[20:17] Guy**
Yes, sir!
**[20:19] Kai**
Let go! Let go of me!
**[20:22] Miwa**
This'll be your opponent!
**[20:33] Miwa**
Whoa! I'm counting on you, Cat Butler!
**[20:36] Cat Butler**
Always at your call, m'lord!
**[20:39] Shuka**
Emi, here's this week's final card!
**[20:46] Emi**
Realize!
**[20:50] Emi**
Dragheart, Luard!
**[21:01] Miwa**
Uh oh, is this one of those
"the tables have turned" deals?!
**[21:05] Shuka**
Wait!
**[21:08] Guy**
Guy!
**[21:21] Kai**
Stop... it...
**[21:25] Kai**
You don't shoot at girls!
**[21:38] Shuka**
I swear that we'll save him!
**[21:39] Emi**
Yeah!
**[22:08] Miwa**
Kai...
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is
Shadow Paladin's Dragheart, Luard!
***SIGN*** Dragheart, Luard
**[23:53] Narrator**
By retiring two of your own
grade 1 rear-guards,
**[23:57] Narrator**
you can draw one card and retire
one of your opponent's rear-guards!
**[24:00] Narrator**
On top of that, if there are three or more
grade 1 cards in your Drop Zone,
**[24:04] Narrator**
you can check your deck for a Dragdriver, Luard
and ride it without paying any cost!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Ibuki**
The next envoy sent from Sanctuary
to target our Toshiki Kai is SK4's Naoki Ishida.
**[24:20] Naoki**
Your preview narration's
pretty shoddy, Kouji Ibuki.
**[24:23] Ibuki**
Naoki Ishida...
**[24:24] Ibuki**
What do you mean, "shoddy"?!
**[24:26] Naoki**
Lemme do it.
**[24:27] Naoki**
Yeah! Usin' its secret weapon,
a drill that can punch through any enemy,
**[24:30] Naoki**
Detonix Drill Dragon takes point for
our own Orange Cyclone, a.k.a. Naoki Ishida!
**[24:35] Naoki**
Toshiki Kai's finished off
by his dazzlin' blue eyes!
**[24:38] Kai**
Hold it, you two.
**[24:39] Ibuki**
What, Kai?

Aichi! Aichi!
**[00:06] Kourin**
At this rate, Toshiki Kai will be...
**[00:13] Emi**
Kai...
**[00:15] Shuka**
Toshiki Kai!
**[00:16] Emi**
Shuka!
**[00:18] Shuka**
I still haven't had a chance
to give you a proper apology!
**[00:21] Shuka**
Toshiki Kai!
**[00:23] Shuka**
Toshiki Kai!
**[00:25] Shuka**
You'd better not die on us!
**[00:28] Shuka**
I'd never forgive you!
**[00:30] Emi**
Shuka...
**[00:35] Ibuki**
Let's go!
**[00:37] Suiko**
Go where?
**[00:38] Ibuki**
Miwa, I mean, that pink jerk mentioned
something about taking Kai to see Aichi!
**[00:44] Suiko**
But he failed.
**[00:47] Suiko**
You saw it, didn't you? Toshiki Kai is...
**[00:51] Ibuki**
No, he's not dead!
**[00:54] Ibuki**
Anyway, that's our only clue.
**[00:56] Ibuki**
So let's go!

The Original History
**[02:42] Kai**
Where am I... What happened to me?!
**[02:46] Takuto**
Are you okay?
**[02:47] Takuto**
I'm Takuto Tatsunagi.
**[02:49] Takuto**
But as you are now, that name
doesn't mean anything to you, does it?
**[02:54] Takuto**
So why not call me "prisoner" instead?
**[02:59] Kai**
You're...
**[03:04] Takuto**
You remember me?
**[03:07] Kai**
No. We've never met.
**[03:10] Kai**
I don't know you!
**[03:12] Takuto**
This book is a record of the flow of all times.
**[03:17] Takuto**
We've been observing it,
at times even fine-tuning it.
**[03:21] Kai**
What are you talking about?!
**[03:23] Takuto**
Then, all of a sudden...
**[03:25] Takuto**
...this page wouldn't turn.
**[03:28] Takuto**
So I took a journey to correct the flow of time.
**[03:37] Takuto**
And then I found the source!
**[03:39] Takuto**
I found you...
**[03:40] Takuto**
...Toshiki Kai!
**[03:42] Kai**
But what...
**[03:44] Kai**
What am I supposed to be?!
**[03:47] Takuto**
Imagine it.
**[03:49] Kai**
Imagine?
**[03:52] Young Kai**
Come on! Just imagine it!
Imagine yourself being as strong as him.
**[03:58] Kai**
No! I never said those words!
**[04:01] Takuto**
Exactly. You've been raised by parents
who are happy and well-off.
**[04:07] Takuto**
After losing interest in card games,
**[04:09] Takuto**
you moved on to rugby, music,
and even video streaming.
**[04:14] Takuto**
That's how your life is, isn't it?
**[04:17] Kai**
What are you suggesting?!
**[04:19] Takuto**
Imagine it.
**[04:20] Takuto**
Imagine another life.
**[04:23] Takuto**
A life in which your father failed
at business, your parents disappeared,
**[04:27] Takuto**
and you spent a lonely childhood passed
from relative to relative like a hot potato,
**[04:31] Takuto**
with Vanguard as your only friend.
**[04:34] Takuto**
Have you ever imagined that other life?
**[04:40] Kai**
Of course not...
**[04:47] Takuto**
There should be a page in this book about you.
**[04:53] Takuto**
But it won't open to that page.
**[04:56] Takuto**
The reason...
**[04:57] Takuto**
...is that the world has been distorted.
**[05:00] Takuto**
And it's necessary to correct--
**[05:01] Kourin**
It is not necessary.
**[05:06] Kai**
How did you...?
**[05:08] Kourin**
You still had enough power
to summon him here, Takuto?
**[05:13] Takuto**
Kourin, try to remember too!
**[05:16] Takuto**
Remember your true self!
**[05:18] Kourin**
But I am me.
**[05:19] Kourin**
And you... You're happy now, aren't you?
**[05:23] Kourin**
Toshiki Kai...
**[05:25] Kourin**
You have a warm home with
wealthy parents and an easy life.
**[05:31] Kourin**
You can do anything you want.
**[05:34] Kourin**
There's nothing tying you down,
and nothing for you to fear.
**[05:38] Kai**
I...
**[05:39] Kourin**
Listen to me! You need to be happy!
**[05:43] Kourin**
That's why you're here!
**[05:48] Kourin**
You mustn't show that here, Toshiki Kai!
**[06:01] Kourin**
You can use the power of Realize,
even in an incomplete form?!
**[06:16] Kai**
The unit actually materialized!
**[06:19] Ibuki**
Ouch! I got pricked again!
**[06:22] Ibuki**
Hey, pull this thorn out.
**[06:24] Suiko**
I warned you about this!
**[06:26] Ibuki**
Ow!
**[06:27] Suiko**
This forest protects Sanctuary.
**[06:30] Suiko**
Without Shuka's power,
we can't force our way through.
**[06:34] Ibuki**
Even so, we have to go there!
**[06:36] Suiko**
Why?!
**[06:38] Ibuki**
If anyone has to suffer beneath the weight
of their own sin, it should only be me.
**[06:45] Ibuki**
There's no need for kids to suffer and cry!
**[06:49] Ibuki**
So I'm gonna find Kai!
**[06:54] Suiko**
I see.
**[06:56] Suiko**
You're doing it for Shuka.
**[06:58] Ibuki**
I... I never said that!
**[07:00] Kai**
You say someone's suffering and crying?
**[07:05] Suiko**
Toshiki Kai!
**[07:07] Ibuki**
See?! I told you he was here!
**[07:10] Kai**
You were talking like I'm the one
responsible for somebody's suffering...
**[07:15] Kai**
...Ibuki.
**[07:16] Ibuki**
Well... Anyway, let's get out of here, Kai!
**[07:20] Kai**
Ibuki, I met this weird guy.
**[07:23] Ibuki**
Weird?
**[07:24] Kai**
He called himself... Takuto Tatsunagi.
**[07:27] Ibuki**
Didn't Rekka tell us that
Takuto was the first to vanish?
**[07:32] Ibuki**
So what did he say?
**[07:34] Kai**
He told me to imagine my true life.
**[07:37] Kai**
What does that mean?
**[07:39] Kai**
What happened to my parents?
**[07:42] Kai**
Am I actually...
**[07:43] Suiko**
Tell him already.
**[07:46] Suiko**
You know the truth, don't you?
**[07:48] Suiko**
You know about the real Toshiki Kai's life.
**[07:51] Kai**
Ibuki!
**[08:00] Ibuki**
Kai. Your parents...
**[08:03] Kai**
What is it, Ibuki?
**[08:05] Kai**
What about my parents?!
**[08:10] Ibuki**
Aichi Sendou!
**[08:12] Kai**
Aichi Sendou?
**[08:17] Kai**
Just who are you?!
**[08:19] Kourin**
Now, now. Don't be disrespecful to Aichi.
**[08:22] Suiko**
"Disrespectful to Aichi"?
Kourin, come to your senses!
**[08:26] Kourin**
Who's Kourin? I'm Yellow Typhoon,
a guardian of Sanctuary.
**[08:32] Kai**
Stay away from me! I don't know you!
**[08:36] Kai**
We've never met.
**[08:37] Kai**
And yet...
**[08:39] Kai**
I keep seeing your face in my head!
**[08:43] Aichi**
Kai...
**[08:45] Kourin**
Toshiki Kai.
**[08:48] Kourin**
Let's return to Sanctuary.
**[08:51] Suiko**
Kourin! What are you saying?!
**[08:53] Kourin**
Suiko. You and Ibuki pose no trouble.
**[08:58] Kourin**
But that fairy and magical girl are dangerous.
**[09:01] Kai**
Those two?
**[09:03] Kourin**
Those kids are trying to ruin this world
that Aichi has taken great pains to create!
**[09:09] Kourin**
They're trying to take away your happiness.
**[09:12] Kai**
I...
**[09:14] Kai**
I...
**[09:18] Aichi**
No Vanguard for you.
**[09:21] Ibuki**
Suiko, get Kai out of here!
**[09:23] Ibuki**
Hurry!
**[09:25] Ibuki**
I'll handle them.
**[09:26] Suiko**
Ibuki!
**[09:27] Kai**
Aichi Sendou!
**[09:29] Kai**
Are you going to stay here forever?!
**[09:31] Aichi**
That's right. I have to stay here.
**[09:36] Aichi**
As do you, Kai.
**[09:38] Ibuki**
Not on my watch!
**[09:40] Ibuki**
If Kai wants, I'd be glad to do
a Vanguard fight with him toni--
**[09:46] Kourin**
Kouji Ibuki.
**[09:48] Kourin**
You should go to a more appropriate place.
**[09:54] Kai**
Ibuki! Ibuki!
**[10:05] Kai**
Ibuki!
**[10:08] Suiko**
This way!
**[10:10] Kourin**
Come back, Suiko!
**[10:12] Kourin**
Suiko!
**[10:36] Kai**
I said, let go of me!
**[10:38] Kai**
Let go!
**[10:39] Suiko**
What's the matter?
**[10:40] Suiko**
Was this the first time
you've held hands with a girl?
**[10:45] Kai**
That's not the point!
**[10:47] Suiko**
You really are a typical boy, huh?
**[10:50] Suiko**
Get ahold of yourself.
**[10:52] Suiko**
The Toshiki Kai I know would be more--
**[10:56] Kai**
Be more what?!
**[10:58] Kai**
You know it, don't you?!
**[11:00] Kai**
What happened to my parents?!
**[11:02] Suiko**
Oh? Aren't your parents at home,
just like normal parents?
**[11:07] Kai**
But they shouldn't be!
**[11:09] Kai**
Is that what you're thinking?!
**[11:12] Kai**
I'm asking you what happened
to the parents of the *real* me!
**[11:15] Suiko**
I don't know the details.
**[11:17] Suiko**
And I can't open to the page about you.
**[11:21] Suiko**
Only Ibuki knows about it in detail.
**[11:25] Kai**
That book...
**[11:28] Kai**
Then he was telling the truth?
**[11:32] Suiko**
Hey, where are you going?
**[11:34] Kai**
Where, you ask?
**[11:36] Kai**
It's the only home I know!
**[11:39] Kai**
Where else would I go?!
**[11:42] Suiko**
Wait a second!
**[11:44] Kai**
Don't follow me.
This has nothing to do with you!
**[11:56] Shingo**
Then... you mean...
**[11:58] Shingo**
Aichi let Toshiki Kai go?!
**[12:02] Kourin**
He said, "If Kai doesn't want
to stay here, I don't want to force him.
**[12:06] Kourin**
I don't want to rob Kai of his happiness."
**[12:10] Shingo**
His incredible kindness moves me to tears!
**[12:13] Naoki**
But we can't afford to let him
stay out there in that unsteady state.
**[12:18] Naoki**
We should bring 'im in.
**[12:20] Miwa**
Leave it to me.
**[12:22] Naoki**
We already left it to you once, Pink,
and you failed spectacularly.
**[12:28] Shingo**
Stop it, Orange!
**[12:30] Naoki**
I'm a human being, not a citrus fruit!
**[12:33] Naoki**
This time... it's my turn.
**[12:43] Mother**
Oh, really? Well, thank goodness.
**[12:48] Mother**
We were worried about Toshiki.
**[12:50] Father**
Yeah, but he is in high school now.
**[12:54] Father**
I can't blame him for going out after dark
when his old friends Miwa and Ibuki invite him.
**[13:00] Shuka**
But he wasn't as much invited as abducted--
**[13:06] Mother**
In any case, I'm surprised he'd have a girl
pass on an important message like that.
**[13:12] Father**
Frankly, I'm surprised that
he even has female friends.
**[13:17] Emi**
So Kai didn't come home last night.
**[13:20] Shuka**
These two aren't Jammers, are they?
**[13:25] Emi**
No.
**[13:26] Emi**
His parents are nice people.
**[13:30] Emi**
While at my house, ever since Aichi left...
**[13:35] Shuka**
I worry if correcting the world's distortions
will steal these people from Toshiki Kai.
**[13:44] Mother**
Toshiki!
**[13:45] Father**
Toshiki...
**[13:48] Shuka**
Toshiki Kai!
**[13:50] Father**
Shuka and Emi have been waiting for you.
**[13:54] Mother**
Oh, you've mixed them up, Papa.
**[13:57] Mother**
This is Emi and this is Shuka.
**[13:59] Father**
Oh, really?
**[14:02] Father**
I beg your pardon.
**[14:04] Father**
This is Emi, and this is--
**[14:06] Kai**
What are you two doing here?!
**[14:08] Shuka**
This card...
**[14:12] Kai**
Leave! I'm not the kind of guy
who still plays Vanguard in high school!
**[14:18] Kai**
My mom and dad have always...
**[14:27] Emi**
It's you!
**[14:29] Emi**
SK4's Grapefruit or whatever!
**[14:31] Shuka**
That's not right.
**[14:32] Shuka**
I'm pretty sure he's Tangerine!
**[14:35] Naoki**
I'm Orange Cyclone!
**[14:38] Emi**
You were so close, Shuka.
**[14:40] Shuka**
Still, they're both in the citrus family,
so I should at least get partial credit.
**[14:44] Naoki**
This ain't a quiz show,
and I'm not a citrus fruit!
**[14:47] Kai**
You're one of Aichi's cronies, aren't you?!
**[14:51] Emi**
You met Aichi?!
**[14:53] Naoki**
We're SK4, and we fight on Aichi's behalf.
**[14:58] Naoki**
But I'm not gonna be
roundabout like Pink Hurricane.
**[15:06] Naoki**
Toshiki Kai!
**[15:08] Naoki**
If you truly care about 'em,
come quietly to Sanctuary.
**[15:12] Naoki**
Don't put us through more trouble.
**[15:14] Kai**
Are those my real parents?!
**[15:17] Naoki**
Oh, some weird memories came back to you?
**[15:22] Naoki**
But they're definitely the real thing.
**[15:25] Naoki**
They've raised you with tender lovin' care
for 17 years now in this world.
**[15:30] Emi**
Leave this to us!
**[15:33] Shuka**
I swear we'll get...
**[15:35] The Two**
...your mother and father back!
**[15:38] Emi**
Patiently waiting for our prince? Hardly!
**[15:40] Shuka**
Who's calling who a "tomboy"?
**[15:42] Emi**
Magical Girl Emi!
**[15:44] Shuka**
Card Fairy Shuka!
**[15:50] The Two**
Together, we are the Blaster Pair!
**[15:59] The Two**
Here we come!
**[16:01] Shuka**
IF!
**[16:02] Emi**
Stand up!
**[16:05] Naoki**
You know what happens at these times.
**[16:07] Naoki**
It's all over for you.
**[16:09] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[16:17] Emi**
Realize!
**[16:20] Emi**
Everyone, rescue Kai's mother and father!
**[16:24] Naoki**
Check out at that lineup.
**[16:27] Naoki**
I knew we couldn't just
ignore your power anymore!
**[16:33] Emi**
Shuka, this guy is strong!
**[16:35] Shuka**
Leave it to me!
**[16:36] Shuka**
Here's this week's final card!
**[16:42] Emi**
Elemental Calling!
**[16:44] Emi**
Realize!
**[16:54] Luard**
Dragdriver, Luard!
**[17:08] Emi**
Look out!
**[17:15] Kai**
This card...
**[17:18] Naoki**
Hey!
**[17:19] Naoki**
Drop that card!
**[17:22] Naoki**
Be a shame if you lost your
dear mom and dad, wouldn't it?
**[17:29] Naoki**
Or is that the kinda life you want?
**[17:35] Kai**
My mom and dad!
**[17:37] Takuto**
A life in which your father failed at business,
your parents disappeared,
**[17:41] Takuto**
and you spent a lonely childhood passed
from relative to relative like a hot potato,
**[17:46] Takuto**
with Vanguard as your only friend.
**[17:50] Shuka**
Toshiki Kai...
**[17:52] Emi**
You don't have to remember that.
**[17:54] Emi**
Not any of it.
**[17:56] Naoki**
Toshiki Kai.
**[17:59] Naoki**
You're happy, aren't you?
**[18:01] Naoki**
All that Aichi wishes is for you to be happy.
**[18:10] Kai**
I don't understand. I don't get any of this!
**[18:13] Kai**
Of course it's better that I have my parents.
**[18:18] Kai**
But still...!
**[18:19] Naoki**
But still, what?!
**[18:21] Kai**
If my happiness just makes
someone else suffer... and cry...
**[18:27] Kai**
...it's not worth it!
**[18:29] Naoki**
You would defy Aichi?!
**[18:32] Kai**
Defy him?
**[18:34] Kai**
That Aichi didn't look happy to me!
**[18:39] Kai**
This was my card!
**[18:42] Kai**
This is...
**[18:45] Emi**
Blaster Blade!
**[18:46] Kai**
Just like back then,
**[18:48] Kai**
the card is talking to me!
**[19:01] Luard**
You heard the voice of
Blaster Blade, didn't you?
**[19:06] Kai**
Ready this for me!
**[19:10] Shuka**
Let's go, Emi!
**[19:11] Emi**
Okay!
**[19:12] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[19:19] Emi**
Superior Realize!
**[19:24] Kai**
Ride The Vanguard!
**[19:31] Naoki**
K-Kai is... riding?!
**[19:36] Kai**
Blaster Blade!
**[19:47] Naoki**
Stop! That nonsense ain't allowed!
**[19:50] Kai**
Not allowed? Says who?!
**[19:56] Naoki**
This ain't what Aichi wants!
**[20:00] Kai**
This...
**[20:02] Kai**
This form...
**[20:03] Kai**
...is what I want to be!
**[20:13] Boy A**
If he falls, you get one point.
**[20:15] Boy A**
If he cries, you get ten points.
**[20:17] Boy A**
Well? Wanna give it a try?
**[20:19] Naoki**
That's dumb.
**[20:24] Naoki**
I thought, "That's boring..."
and didn't do anything.
**[20:36] Naoki**
What was that?!
**[20:51] Shuka**
Those are your true memories.
**[20:56] Emi**
I can't fully explain it, but it's also true
that these two are your real parents.
**[21:02] Shuka**
You've lived a happy life,
and can continue to live here.
**[21:08] Shuka**
As long as you don't have
anything to do with Vanguard...
**[21:11] Kai**
But...
**[21:13] Kai**
But still...
**[21:15] Kai**
This world clearly needs a different me.
**[21:19] Kai**
Those other memories inside of me...
**[21:22] Kai**
Those images of another life...
**[21:25] Kai**
I'm going to find out what they are.
**[21:28] Emi**
You might not be able to return here.
**[21:33] Kai**
Mom, Dad...
**[21:36] Kai**
I'll see you again someday.
**[21:45] Suiko**
He was going off on his own?
**[21:47] Suiko**
That's what Toshiki Kai told you?
**[21:48] Emi**
Yes. Apparently not all of his memories
have been revised yet, so he's confused, but...
**[21:55] Shuka**
Huh? Suiko, why isn't Bukki with you?
**[22:02] Suiko**
Ibuki was...
**[22:05] Suiko**
He was...
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is
Shadow Paladin's Dragdriver, Luard!
***SIGN*** Dragdriver, Luard
**[23:53] Narrator**
When it's placed, you can also
call grade 1 units from your deck!
**[23:57] Narrator**
On top of that, for every grade 1 rear-guard
you have, this unit gains 5000 power.
**[24:01] Narrator**
And when you have two or more
grade 3 units in the Soul,
**[24:04] Narrator**
all of your grade 1 rear-guards get 2 criticals!
**[24:07] Narrator**
Grasp the world you seek,
together with your teammates!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Ibuki**
Hiya.
**[24:17] Suiko**
Ibuki, you're back?
**[24:18] Ibuki**
I wouldn't disappear that easily.
**[24:20] Ibuki**
Next time, Toshiki Kai visits Card Capital.
**[24:22] Ibuki**
There, he encounters Morikawa
and Kamui Katsuragi.
**[24:24] Ibuki**
After that, the manager, Shin,
teaches him the basics of a Kagero deck.
**[24:27] Suiko**
That's just regular Vanguard.
**[24:28] Suiko**
It seems the rumors were true.
**[24:30] Ibuki**
What rumors?
**[24:31] Suiko**
That this anime is switching
to a different main character.
**[24:34] Ibuki**
Any anime doing that these days
is asking to get flamed.
**[24:37] Ibuki**
Still, if my popularity is that undeniable--
**[24:39] Suiko**
*You're* the one getting booted, Ibuki.

**[00:01] Kai**
My name is Toshiki Kai.
**[00:03] Kai**
According to Takuto Tatsunagi,
I have another life.
**[00:09] Kai**
The only way I can get
to the truth is by fighting!
**[00:13] Kai**
Goodbye, Mom and Dad.
**[00:27] Kai**
A dream?

**[02:19] Kamui**
Watch where you're going, jerk!
**[02:22] Kai**
S-Sorry.
**[02:25] Kamui**
Oh no! My cards!
**[02:32] Kai**
Vanguard...
**[02:33] Kamui**
Ya know Vanguard?
**[02:35] Kai**
Yeah.
**[02:36] Kamui**
I'm on my way to the shop over there.
**[02:39] Kamui**
Wanna come with?
**[02:43] Kamui**
Sorry for putting ya on the spot.
**[02:45] Kamui**
You've probably got stuff to do.
**[02:47] Kai**
Nothing in particular.
**[02:50] Kamui**
Then there's no time like the present!
**[02:56] Kamui**
My name's Kamui Katsuragi! What's yours?
**[03:00] Kai**
I'm...
**[03:03] Kamui**
So this guy is Toshiki Kai.
**[03:06] Shin**
Welcome to Card Capital.
**[03:08] Shin**
I'm the manager, Shin Nitta.
**[03:13] Shin**
Is something wrong?
**[03:14] Kai**
Didn't this used to be a croquette shop?
**[03:17] Kamui**
What're ya talking about?!
**[03:19] Shin**
I know what you mean!
**[03:20] Shin**
I've had the oddest feeling that
I used to knead croquettes until recently.
**[03:25] Kamui**
Not you too, Manager?
**[03:28] Kamui**
Anyway, Kai, come fight me!
**[03:38] Kamui**
Something the matter?
**[03:40] Kai**
I don't have a deck on me.
**[03:43] Shin**
I can lend you one.
**[03:45] Kamui**
Sweet!
**[03:46] Kai**
No, I don't--
**[03:48] Shin**
Which clan do you use?
**[03:50] Kai**
Royal Paladin.
**[03:53] Kai**
Did I say something wrong?
**[03:55] Shin**
Sorry. For some reason,
I expected you to say "Kagero."
**[04:01] Kamui**
You too, Manager? So did I.
**[04:03] Kamui**
I wonder why.
**[04:06] Kai**
Kagero...
**[04:08] Shin**
Then I'll get you a Royal Paladin deck.
**[04:11] Kai**
Wait.
**[04:14] Kai**
Could I use a Kagero deck?
**[04:16] Shin**
S-Sure.
**[04:28] Shin**
Have you ever fought using Kagero before?
**[04:30] Kai**
This is my first time... I think.
**[04:34] Shin**
Then I'll start by telling you its attributes.
**[04:36] Morikawa**
Like they say, you learn better by doing.
**[04:41] Kamui**
Morikawa! Don't act like a big shot!
**[04:44] Morikawa**
Kamui, I've told you before that
you gotta be more polite to me.
**[04:48] Kamui**
Why should I be polite to ya?!
**[04:51] Shin**
Kamui, a middle schooler, stopped being
polite to Morikawa, a high schooler,
**[04:56] Shin**
after Kamui handily beat the "Mighty Morikawa."
**[05:02] Shin**
And they've been at odds ever since.
**[05:06] Kamui**
He must've just parroted something he heard.
**[05:09] Kai**
Parroted?
**[05:10] Kamui**
What Morikawa said: "You learn better by doing."
**[05:15] Kai**
You learn better by doing...
**[05:18] Kai**
You learn better by doing.
**[05:24] Morikawa**
But I don't remember who told me that.
**[05:28] Kai**
It may have been me...
**[05:30] Izaki**
Aren't you Kai, from second-year?
**[05:34] Inenaga**
Oh, yeah. You play Vanguard?
**[05:37] Kai**
I used to, a little.
**[05:40] Morikawa**
Then I'll play you.
**[05:43] Kamui**
What's the big idea, Morikawa?!
**[05:45] Morikawa**
You're this shop's strongest fighter, right?
**[05:47] Morikawa**
That makes me a more fitting opponent
for someone who just used to play a little.
**[05:52] Kamui**
Jerk, you just wanna fight, don't ya?
**[05:59] Kai (M)**
To be honest, I'm scared to fight.
**[06:02] Kai (M)**
But...
**[06:03] Morikawa**
L-Let's have a good match.
**[06:06] Kai**
Yeah, let's.
**[06:09] Emi**
Looks like they're going to fight.
**[06:11] Shuka**
I wonder...
**[06:13] Kai**
Who... are you?!
**[06:18] Shuka**
Will he get like that again?
**[06:21] Suiko**
It'll be fine.
**[06:22] Suiko**
Well, I wish I could say for sure,
but he does seem different from then.
**[06:28] Emi**
Yeah.
**[06:32] Suiko (M)**
Ibuki... Where did you go?
**[06:36] Kamui**
E-Excuse me...
**[06:39] Kamui**
Is this your first time here?
**[06:41] Emi**
Oh, um...
**[06:43] Emi**
Kamui!
**[06:45] Kamui**
How do you know my name?
**[06:50] Emi**
Um, uh...
**[06:52] Suiko**
You heard someone call him
Kamui earlier, right, Emi?
**[06:56] Emi**
Y-Yes! That's right!
**[06:59] Kamui**
S-So your name is Emi?!
**[07:01] Kamui**
What a lovely name! It suits you perfectly!
**[07:04] Morikawa**
Shut up, Kamui!
**[07:06] Morikawa**
Our fight's starting, so pay attention.
**[07:08] Kamui**
Like I owe ya my attention, Morikawa!
**[07:12] Emi**
That was close...
**[07:20] Kai**
Stand up the Vanguard!
**[07:20] Morikawa**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[07:27] Miwa**
What's wrong, Yellow? You seem upset.
**[07:31] Kourin**
It's Aichi!
**[07:33] Kourin**
He's suffering!
**[07:38] Shingo**
For what reason?
**[07:40] Kourin**
I suspect...
**[07:41] Naoki**
Toshiki Kai...
**[07:43] Miwa**
Is it because he's fighting?
**[07:47] Kourin**
That shows us how badly Aichi wants
Toshiki Kai to stay away from Vanguard.
**[07:52] Kourin**
If we don't bring him into custody
here in Sanctuary soon...
**[07:55] Shingo**
I see that it's finally my turn.
**[07:59] Shingo**
Pink, Orange...
**[08:01] Shingo**
Observe and learn.
**[08:03] Shingo**
You'll find out which one of us
is really useful to Aichi!
**[08:22] Kai (M)**
My First Vanguard is Lizard Runner, Undeux.
**[08:25] Morikawa**
All right! It's your turn.
**[08:29] Kai**
I draw!
**[08:30] Kai**
I ride Embodiment of Armor, Bahr!
**[08:33] Kai**
I call Dragon Monk, Gojo!
**[08:36] Kai**
Bahr attacks your Vanguard!
**[08:38] Morikawa**
No guard.
**[08:44] Kai**
I ride Dragon Armored Knight!
**[08:47] Kai (M)**
Even though it's my first time using
this deck, I know how to fight with it!
**[08:51] Kai**
I call Dragon Knight, Nehalem!
**[08:54] Kai (M)**
So I have fought with Kagero before!
**[08:57] Kai**
Nehalem attacks your Vanguard!
**[09:01] Kai (M)**
But against whom?
**[09:08] Kai (M)**
Aichi Sendou?
**[09:12] Kai (M)**
I'm sure of it. I must have fought him here!
**[09:17] Morikawa**
What's wrong?
**[09:21] Morikawa**
Hey!
**[09:24] Morikawa**
What? Done with your turn?
**[09:27] Kai**
Oh, sorry. Gojo boosts.
**[09:31] Kai**
Dragon Armored Knight attacks your Vanguard!
**[09:34] Emi**
It looks like Kai is having fun.
**[09:36] Shuka**
Yeah, that's what it looks like to me, too.
**[09:39] Suiko**
S-Say, Emi, Shuka.
**[09:42] Suiko**
How long has he been standing there?
**[09:47] Shingo**
All the Vanguard items in this store
have me ready to lose my mind.
**[09:51] Emi**
It's him!
**[09:52] Shingo**
Ulp!
**[09:52] Emi**
He's part of SK4!
**[09:54] Shuka**
I believe that mushroom head is... Cream Soda!
**[09:58] Shingo**
Who are you calling Cream Soda?!
**[10:00] Shingo**
I am--
**[10:01] Shin**
EXCUSE me!
**[10:03] Shin**
No yelling... if you please.
**[10:07] The Three**
S-Sorry...
**[10:09] Morikawa**
Juggernaut Maximum attacks your Vanguard!
**[10:13] Kai**
I guard with Red Gem Carbuncle!
**[10:16] Morikawa**
Drat! It's your turn!
**[10:18] Kai**
Okay. Stand and draw!
**[10:28] Kai**
Dragonic... Overlord...
**[10:38] Kamui**
He's not moving.
**[10:40] Shin**
Maybe he drew an ace in the hole.
**[10:44] Shin**
Imagine it!
**[10:47] Kai**
Imagine?
**[10:50] Shin**
The strength of imagination
is the strength of Vanguard!
**[10:56] Kai**
Imagination will become your strength.
**[11:01] Kai**
Imagination will become my strength...
**[11:10] Shingo**
Wh-What is this?!
**[11:13] Morikawa**
What the...?!
**[11:29] Kai**
Is this the planet Cray?!
**[11:36] Shin**
Is this...?
**[11:37] Suiko**
I don't believe it.
**[11:38] Emi**
Where are we...?
**[11:41] Shingo**
What is this place?
**[11:48] Morikawa**
Here he comes!
**[11:51] Kai**
Right now I'm a weak astral body.
**[11:54] Kai**
So what I have to do is...
**[11:56] Kai**
To me!
**[12:04] Kamui**
Hey Manager, I think that's Kai's...
**[12:07] Shin**
Yes, it must be!
**[12:19] Kai**
Ride the Vanguard!
**[12:23] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord!
**[12:35] Kai**
Let's go!
**[12:36] Shingo**
Halt!
**[12:41] Shingo**
I don't know why, but this annoys me to no end!
**[12:45] Shingo**
Stop this nonsen--
**[12:47] Kai**
Don't interrupt!
**[12:51] Shingo**
Ahh! Hot!
**[12:53] Shingo**
Hot-hot-hot! That's too hot!
**[13:04] Shingo**
How dare you humiliate me, impudent rascal!
**[13:08] Kai**
Are you another member of SK4?
**[13:12] Shingo**
Indeed! I am the one they call Cream Tornado!
**[13:18] Shingo**
And now, I shall teach you all a lesson!
**[13:39] Kai**
Move your foot!
**[13:45] Shingo**
Is there something about that card?
**[13:48] Kai**
It may not mean anything to you people,
but to me, this card is...
**[13:53] Shingo**
What is it to you?
**[13:56] Shingo**
As I understand it, you only played
Vanguard back in grade school.
**[13:59] Shingo**
You shouldn't care about it now.
**[14:03] Kai**
No...
**[14:11] Kai**
I like Vanguard!
**[14:15] Kai**
And more than anything,
I love this Dragonic Overlord!
**[14:19] Shingo**
That's taking the joke too far!
**[14:21] Shingo**
You used Royal Paladin back in grade school.
**[14:26] Shingo**
So why would you say you "love" a Kagero card?!
**[14:31] Shingo**
Why?!
**[14:34] Kai**
Why *do* I feel this way about Overlord?
**[14:39] Kai (M)**
I wanted Overlord to spew its crimson flames
and incinerate the most painful days of my life.
**[14:45] Kai (M)**
That's how I felt back then.
**[14:47] Kai (M)**
Huh? "Most painful days"?
**[14:50] Young Kai**
Did something happen to them?
**[14:53] Uncle**
Your parents stole money from
the company and then vanished!
**[15:05] Young Kai**
You're lying!
**[15:08] Man**
I'm in a bind myself after
what that kid's parents did!
**[15:11] Man**
Honestly, I can't even
stand to see the name "Kai"!
**[15:14] Man**
Take him off my hands!
**[15:17] Kai (N)**
All I thought about back then
**[15:19] Kai (N)**
was how much I wished I could engulf
everything around me in crimson flames,
**[15:25] Kai (N)**
especially the adults who
lied to me through their teeth.
**[15:35] Takuto**
A life in which your father failed at business,
your parents disappeared,
**[15:39] Takuto**
and you spent a lonely childhood passed
from relative to relative like a hot potato,
**[15:43] Takuto**
with Vanguard as your only friend.
**[15:47] Takuto**
Have you ever imagined that other life?
**[15:53] Kai**
The "other life" that Takuto mentioned...
**[15:57] Kai**
I've actually experienced it.
**[16:00] Kai**
But if so, then is the life
I'm living right now... fake?
**[16:15] Kai (M)**
Then this place...
**[16:18] Kai (M)**
This place must be precious to these people.
**[16:24] Shingo**
After him!
**[16:28] Kai (M)**
No, it's also precious to me!
**[16:32] Kai (M)**
And I bet it's precious to him, too!
**[16:36] Shuka**
Vanguard is where miraculous cards
compete using the strength of imagination!
**[16:41] Emi**
And we as idols compete using
our beautiful imaginations, too!
**[16:45] Shuka**
No, silly! We are...
**[16:47] Emi**
...magical girls!
**[16:51] The Two**
Together we are the Blaster Pair!
**[16:54] Kamui**
Wait!
**[17:01] Kamui**
They vanished?
**[17:12] Kai**
Lend me strength!
**[17:14] Shuka**
Okay!
**[17:15] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[17:20] Emi**
Superior Realize!
**[17:29] Emi**
Blaster Blade!
**[17:34] Shingo**
An empty threat!
**[17:36] Shingo**
We'll capture you without fail!
**[17:49] Shingo**
What are you doing?!
**[17:51] Shingo**
You're only making Aichi's agony worse!
**[17:55] Kai**
Aichi's agony?
**[17:57] Shingo**
Precisely!
**[17:58] Shingo**
Whenever you Cardfight, Aichi suffers terribly!
**[18:03] Kai**
Aichi Sendou...
**[18:06] Aichi**
No Vanguard for you.
**[18:10] Kai**
Why is he suffering?!
**[18:12] Shingo**
W-Well, I don't know the reason why!
**[18:17] Kai**
That's no surprise.
**[18:19] Shingo**
No surprise?
**[18:21] Kai**
You don't know anything about him.
**[18:24] Shingo**
Th-That is not so!
**[18:26] Shingo**
I certainly know more than you!
**[18:28] Emi**
I know him!
**[18:31] Emi**
I know a lot about Aichi.
**[18:34] Emi**
But not the current Aichi. The *real* Aichi!
**[18:39] Emi**
Like how cute his smile is!
**[18:42] Shingo**
I-I myself know the cuteness of his smile!
**[18:51] Shingo**
Huh?
**[18:56] Shingo**
How very strange. Aichi may be my idol,
**[19:00] Shingo**
yet I can't remember him smiling!
**[19:03] Kai**
Wait, are you living a fake life, too?!
**[19:08] Shingo**
A fake life? Don't be ridiculous!
**[19:19] Shingo**
Covert Demonic Dragon, Magatsu Storm!
**[19:32] Shingo**
And now to finish you off!
**[19:38] Suiko**
Toshiki Kai!
**[19:40] Suiko**
Use that card! It responded to your imagination!
**[19:44] Shuka**
Emi! Elemental Calling!
**[19:50] Emi**
Realize!
**[19:55] Emi**
Dragonic Overlord!
**[20:06] Shuka**
Emi, here's this week's final card!
**[20:09] Emi**
Realize!
**[20:15] Emi**
Stealth Dragon, Shiranui!
**[20:20] Shingo**
What is that unit?!
**[20:22] Shuka**
Shiranui is a ninja from further
in the future than Magatsu Storm!
**[20:26] Shuka**
You use Nubatama, yet don't even know that?!
**[20:30] Shingo**
Wh-Who uses Nubatama?!
**[20:33] Shingo**
My head...
**[20:38] Kai**
Are you living a fake life, too?!
**[20:41] Shingo**
This can't be...
**[20:43] Kai**
Now!
**[20:56] Shuka**
He did it!
**[21:06] Shingo**
You won't beat Magatsu Storm that easily!
**[21:10] Shingo**
I swear I will get back at you for this!
**[21:34] Kai**
Are you sure you don't need it back?
**[21:40] Suiko**
Perhaps eventually, but why don't you
hold on to it until this is all over?
**[21:45] Suiko**
If it's hard to part with...
**[21:51] Shuka**
Where are you going?
**[21:53] Kai**
I don't know. But still...
**[21:56] Kai**
I have to go.
**[21:59] Kai**
For me, living a fake life isn't truly living.
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card is
Nubatama's Stealth Dragon, Shiranui!
***SIGN*** Stealth Dragon, Shiranui
**[23:53] Narrator**
When used as a rear-guard,
this unit gets +10,000 power!
**[23:56] Narrator**
And after it attacks, you can have one of your
opponent's rear-guards return to their hand,
**[24:00] Narrator**
and make them discard a unit from their hand!
**[24:02] Narrator**
Afterwards, Shiranui goes into the Soul.
**[24:04] Narrator**
But when it's the Vanguard,
you can discard one card from your hand
**[24:07] Narrator**
to ride Demon Stealth Dragon, Shiranui "Oboro"!
**[24:09] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Kai**
Hello! I'm Toshiki Kai.
**[24:17] Kai**
How did you like today's episode of *Vanguard IF?*
**[24:19] Kai**
Was it fun?
**[24:22] Kai**
Aww, thank you!
**[24:24] Kai**
So next time, I encounter a certain young man.
**[24:27] Kai**
As well as the card he holds...
**[24:30] Kai**
And now for this week's promise.
**[24:32] Kai**
Remember how Dragonic Overlord and I
fought side by side today?
**[24:35] Kai**
We can do that because of who we are.
**[24:38] Kai**
But it would be dangerous for you to attempt,
**[24:40] Kai**
so promise me you won't try that at home.

**[00:03] Shingo**
There's no sign of him.
**[00:06] Miwa**
Orange Cyclone lost
after Kai rode Blaster Blade.
**[00:11] Miwa**
He must have felt so ashamed that he ran off.
**[00:13] Kourin**
If that is the case, fine. However...
**[00:16] Kourin**
...what if he recovered
his other memories instead?
**[00:20] Miwa**
His other memories? What do you mean?
**[00:28] Shingo**
No, it can't be...
**[00:31] Kourin**
Cream Tornado?
**[00:32] Shingo**
Please! Allow me to go after him!

The Second Vanguard Koshien
will be held here, starting tomorrow.
***SIGN*** The Second Vanguard Koshien Opening Ceremony Rehearsal
**[02:18] Shuka**
This stadium is a dump.
**[02:24] Shuka**
I rest my case...
**[02:26] Emi**
Shuka!
**[02:30] Kamui**
They don't have much money, so this
might be the last Vanguard Koshien.
**[02:35] Emi**
Oh, that's too bad.
**[02:37] Kamui**
It's so frustrating.
**[02:38] Kamui**
If they do one next year, I'd get to participate
and look cool in front of ya, Miss Emi.
**[02:45] Shuka**
So where's Toshiki Kai?
**[02:48] Kamui**
Oh, he works here...
**[02:51] Kai (N)**
My name is Toshiki Kai.
**[02:54] Kai (N)**
I abandoned my fake life and everything else,
then set off on a journey to find my real self.
**[03:02] Kai (N)**
But if I wanna eat, I gotta work.
**[03:06] Kai**
Vanguard Koshien souvenirs! Right here!
**[03:10] Girl**
As if!
**[03:12] Girl**
Hilarious!
**[03:14] Koutei**
Oh, thank goodness. Mamoru!
**[03:17] Koutei**
I was scoping out the stadium
when suddenly you'd all left.
**[03:21] Koutei**
What are you doing here?
**[03:23] Mamoru**
This guy just won't turn up when I need him.
**[03:27] Koutei**
Still putting your deck together?
**[03:29] Koutei**
You're the secret weapon that's gonna keep
Fukuhara from winning twice in a row, right?
**[03:33] Mamoru**
I have a strange feeling.
**[03:36] Mamoru**
Like the opponent I'm meant to fight
isn't here, but somewhere else.
**[03:39] Mamoru**
Someone who's even stronger...
**[03:41] Mamoru**
I can't stop thinking that.
**[03:43] Koutei**
That reminds me. Gouki told me
he's been having weird dreams lately,
**[03:47] Koutei**
but he wouldn't share what they were about.
**[04:02] Mamoru**
Need something?
**[04:04] Kai**
No...
**[04:06] Kai (M)**
I just feel like something similar
happened to me a long time ago.
**[04:29] Mamoru**
Gone...
**[04:31] Mamoru**
He's gone.
**[04:32] Koutei**
The rare card that you said
wouldn't turn up when you needed it?
**[04:35] Kai (M)**
The same thing happened to me that day...
**[04:43] Emi**
Shuka, what's going on with this card?!
**[04:46] Emi**
It suddenly turned up, out of nowhere!
**[04:50] Shuka**
I went and did it again!
**[04:52] Emi**
Did it again? You mean,
like that time with Kai?! Tell me!
**[04:56] Shuka**
I heard the voice of the card.
**[04:59] Shuka**
It said, "Take me. Take me to him."
**[05:04] Emi**
Him?
**[05:08] Emi**
Kai! Thank goodness!
**[05:10] Emi**
Kamui told us you were working here...
**[05:14] Kai**
Did you two just do something?
**[05:19] Shuka**
Um...
**[05:21] Kai**
But first...
**[05:22] Kai**
Did I meet you a long time ago?
**[05:41] Shuka**
Um...
**[05:44] Emi**
Oh, come on, Kai!
That was like a pickup line!
**[05:47] Naoki**
Of course you've met.
**[05:50] Naoki**
Remember, Toshiki Kai.
**[05:52] Naoki**
This card fairy's your arch-nemesis.
**[05:56] Shuka**
That's a lie...
**[05:57] Emi**
That can't be true! After all...
**[05:59] Emi**
...Shuka isn't that strong!
**[06:01] Shuka**
Emi!
**[06:03] Naoki**
Aichi's little sister,
you should go home to bed.
**[06:07] Emi**
Hey, you're SK4's...
**[06:09] Emi**
Um, some sour thing...
**[06:12] Naoki**
That's how you remember it?! Sheesh...
**[06:15] Naoki**
But right now I ain't Orange Cyclone!
**[06:18] Naoki**
I'm Naoki Ishida.
**[06:19] Kai**
I see...
**[06:21] Kai**
So what did you mean by "arch-nemesis," Ishida?
**[06:26] Naoki**
It was when you started your fake life.
**[06:29] Naoki**
When you never met Aichi.
**[06:32] Naoki**
She was the trigger for everything.
**[06:49] Naoki**
She stole the Blaster Blade
from your Royal Paladin deck.
**[06:53] Naoki**
As a result, you never encountered Aichi,
and your life got majorly distorted.
**[07:05] Naoki**
She's pretended to help you, but she really
just wants to escape the sin she committed.
**[07:14] Kai**
Shuka, is that true?
**[07:17] Naoki**
Show 'im the proof!
**[07:19] Naoki**
What did you do a couple minutes ago?
**[07:27] Shuka**
This...
**[07:28] Shuka**
It's his...
**[07:35] Naoki**
So you did it again, huh?
**[07:37] Naoki**
Just like a flower picker to go gatherin' cards
that're all but forgotten in the flow of time.
**[07:44] Shuka**
What are you going to do?!
**[07:45] Naoki**
Cards that've been forgotten,
**[07:47] Naoki**
cards you've collected from a bunch
of time periods and parallel worlds.
**[07:51] Naoki**
But one of 'em...
**[08:00] Emi**
What are you doing?! That's no ordinary card!
**[08:04] Emi**
We need that to save Aichi!
**[08:06] Naoki**
Don't worry!
**[08:07] Naoki**
I'll be savin' Aichi.
**[08:14] Emi**
You're not getting away! Shuka!
**[08:27] Emi**
Shuka!
**[08:34] Mamoru**
Did I miss something?
**[08:36] Kai**
This.
**[08:38] Kai**
Is this the card you were looking for?
**[09:02] Naoki (M)**
That's right. I remember.
**[09:05] Naoki (M)**
Back then, all I could do was watch.
**[09:10] Young Naoki**
That's dumb...
**[09:12] Naoki (M)**
I told myself everything was "dumb."
**[09:14] Naoki (M)**
I hid my true feelings, and 'cause of that,
**[09:17] Naoki (M)**
I was never able to find anything fun.
**[09:22] Shuka**
It's true!
**[09:24] Shuka**
Even as a kid, he had a scowly face.
**[09:27] Emi**
I remember seeing him here.
**[09:29] Emi**
So that's Bitter Orange as a child.
**[09:32] Naoki**
Who're you callin' "Bitter Orange"?!
**[09:34] Emi**
So you are here!
**[09:36] Emi**
But why...?
**[09:38] Shuka**
Give us back Blaster Blade!
**[09:40] Naoki**
Forget it.
**[09:42] Naoki**
Don't worry. I'm gonna
make sure Aichi gets this card.
**[09:47] Naoki**
But it ain't gonna be from Kai.
**[09:49] Naoki**
It'll be from me as a brat!
**[09:56] Naoki (M)**
I'm gonna give this to Aichi.
**[10:17] Naoki (M)**
Then our new lives'll begin.
**[10:26] Naoki**
That'll become...
**[10:29] Naoki**
...the correct history!
**[10:45] Mamoru**
So you use Kagero, too?
**[10:47] Kai**
It wasn't so much the clan,
I just really liked Dragonic Overlord...
**[10:51] Kai**
I guess.
**[10:53] Kai**
When I was a kid, I hated the lies
told by all the adults around me.
**[10:58] Kai**
I wished Overlord would
incinerate those painful days.
**[11:01] Kai**
But also, it's able to stand again and again.
**[11:04] Kai**
I identified with that.
**[11:08] Kai**
Just a kid's fantasy... Sheesh.
**[11:12] Mamoru**
Is there something that
you want to burn down, even now?
**[11:17] Kai**
I was blessed with a happy home.
**[11:20] Kai**
I got to have anything that I wanted.
**[11:23] Kai**
And I had friends...
**[11:25] Kai**
I think I was happy.
**[11:27] Kai**
But I feel like I've already burned all of that.
**[11:30] Kai**
What do I want now?
**[11:32] Mamoru**
Did you know...?
**[11:34] Mamoru**
This card, The End, is supposedly the
evolved form that Dragonic Overlord wanted.
**[11:40] Kai**
Why did it want to be that?
**[11:43] Mamoru**
So it could put an end to all battles.
**[11:56] Mamoru**
Maybe you also want to rise again and evolve.
**[12:04] Mamoru**
Will you take it?
**[12:05] Kai**
No, I couldn't...
**[12:07] Mamoru**
I couldn't get the hang of this card.
**[12:11] Mamoru**
But with it, you might become
an epic Kagero master someday.
**[12:17] Mamoru**
That's the feeling I get.
**[12:26] Mamoru**
I want to see you fight sometime.
**[12:35] Kai**
I have a favor to ask you.
**[12:40] Suiko**
What's the favor?
**[12:42] Kai**
Do you know where those two girls went?
**[12:44] Suiko**
Yes, I think so.
**[12:46] Kai**
I really do want them.
**[12:49] Kai**
My real memories. My real life.
**[12:52] Kai**
But that's not all.
There's something much more...
**[12:56] Kai**
It feels like, with this,
I'll be able to grasp it all.
**[13:01] Suiko**
You're ready, then?
**[13:05] Naoki**
Hey, bratty me!
**[13:07] Naoki**
Give this card...
**[13:09] Naoki**
...to Aichi!
**[13:17] Naoki**
What the...?!
**[13:18] Naoki**
Darn it!
**[13:45] Naoki**
Hey! Don't leave!
**[13:47] Naoki**
Go give this card to Aichi!
**[13:51] Naoki**
Give it to 'im!
**[13:52] Shuka**
I have no idea why,
but we can't enter that area of time.
**[13:56] Emi**
We've tried it ourselves, over and over.
**[13:59] Naoki**
This ain't true!
**[14:02] Naoki**
This ain't true...
**[14:06] Shingo**
Stop it, Orange Cyclone.
**[14:11] Naoki**
Shingo...
**[14:13] Shingo**
You mean, Cream Tornado.
**[14:15] Shingo**
Do you understand what you're doing, Orange?
**[14:20] Naoki**
I wanna save Aichi.
**[14:23] Shingo**
That's what all of us want.
**[14:25] Naoki**
I'm not with you all now.
**[14:27] Naoki**
I... the real me... want to save Aichi.
**[14:33] Shingo**
You've recovered your
other memories, haven't you?
**[14:38] Shingo**
Just like Toshiki Kai...
**[14:40] Bully**
C'mere, Naoki!
**[14:45] Bully**
Well? Wanna give it a try?
**[14:47] Bully**
This is fun!
**[14:49] Young Naoki**
That's dumb.
**[14:52] Naoki**
I thought they were all dumb.
**[14:55] Naoki**
The lame bullies,
and Aichi for not fightin' back.
**[14:59] Naoki**
But what I figured out
after Aichi changed schools was...
**[15:03] Naoki**
I was the dumbest of all, for just walkin' away.
**[15:08] Shingo**
Is that why you were trying to take
Toshiki Kai's place, to save Aichi?
**[15:15] Naoki**
Shut up!
**[15:16] Shingo**
Aichi sealed away our memories
so that we would all be happy!
**[15:22] Naoki**
Shingo, did you recover your real memories, too?
**[15:27] Shingo**
You have no right to be a member of SK4!
**[15:31] Naoki**
Knock it off!
**[15:32] Naoki**
Leggo!
**[15:47] Shingo**
Gauntlet Buster Dragon!
**[15:49] Shingo**
Devoted to demolishing the opponent,
it's Narukami's most powerful unit!
**[15:58] Emi**
We have to beat it!
**[16:00] The Two**
IF! Stand up!
**[16:05] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[16:08] Shingo**
You intend to use Shiranui again?
**[16:11] Shuka**
Not just Shiranui! Emi!
**[16:18] Emi**
Realize!
**[16:23] Shuka**
We need your skill!
**[16:29] Emi**
Wow!
**[16:33] Emi**
Shuffle Realize!
**[16:42] Shingo**
A skill that copies an enemy unit
and turns it into a token.
**[16:45] Shingo**
That's why you used it, eh?
**[16:58] Shingo**
You can make as many tokens as you like,
**[17:01] Shingo**
but against the destructive might
of Gauntlet Buster Dragon...
**[17:05] Emi**
Shuka, don't you have another card?!
**[17:08] Shuka**
Yeah.
**[17:09] Shuka**
I'm not Kai... but please! Lend us your power!
**[17:16] Emi**
Realize!
**[17:21] Shingo**
Dragonic Overlord!
**[17:37] Suiko**
What do you mean to do?
**[17:39] Kai**
Kind of... evolve!
**[17:43] Suiko**
Oh boy... Well, he's not
Ibuki's friend for nothing.
**[17:48] Shingo**
Toshiki Kai...
**[17:50] Kai**
I'm not here to incinerate everything.
**[17:52] Kai**
I'm here to *end* everything.
**[17:54] Kai**
This battle, and all of this!
**[17:58] Shuka**
Kai!
**[18:00] Shuka**
I'm so sorry!
**[18:02] Shuka**
I've wanted to apologize all this time...
**[18:04] Shuka**
...but I couldn't get the words out.
**[18:07] Kai**
I don't care about the past.
**[18:08] Kai**
I'm just going to face forward and evolve!
**[18:16] Emi**
Shuka!
**[18:18] Emi**
Superior Realize!
**[18:31] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord the End!
**[18:38] Kai**
Let's go, Naoki Ishida!
**[18:52] Shuka**
You'll fight for us, too?
**[18:58] Kai**
I never thought the day would come
when I'd fight alongside Blaster Blade.
**[19:01] Kai**
Can you wield this?!
**[19:31] Kai**
Naoki Ishida.
**[19:33] Kai**
Aichi Sendou isn't the one you wanted to save.
**[19:37] Kai**
It was yourself, for not
being able to do anything then.
**[19:42] Naoki**
Yeah...
**[19:43] Naoki**
But I can't do anything now, either.
**[19:57] Shingo**
Ishida!
**[20:06] Shingo**
SK4 has become three again.
**[20:10] Shingo**
But I shall stay by Aichi's side to the end.
**[20:20] Naoki**
I'm...
**[20:22] Kai**
Hey.
**[20:36] Naoki**
No trigger.
**[20:38] Kai**
No trigger.
**[20:42] Shuka**
Why are they playing Vanguard?
**[20:44] Emi**
I don't know.
**[20:45] Kai**
I ride the Vanguard.
**[20:47] Suiko**
Oh...
**[20:49] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord the End.
**[20:57] Shuka**
Just like before...
**[21:00] Shuka**
But...
**[21:01] Naoki**
Perfect guard.
**[21:03] Kai**
For the second stand,
I had to discard units from my hand...
**[21:08] Kai**
It's your turn.
**[21:09] Naoki**
Yeah.
**[21:10] Naoki**
My Vanguard attacks The End.
**[21:14] Kai**
No guard.
**[21:17] Kai**
6 damage. I lose.
**[21:20] Naoki**
Even though you beat me earlier...
**[21:22] Kai**
Unlike then, I didn't have Blaster Blade
to fight with me here, remember?
**[21:27] Kai**
So I win some, I lose some.
**[21:30] Kai**
Keeps it interesting.
**[21:31] Naoki**
Yeah.
**[21:33] Kai**
You should play Vanguard with Aichi Sendou, too.
**[21:37] Kai**
I suspect that is what will save him.
**[21:41] Kai**
You can't erase the sins of the past.
**[21:43] Kai**
But still, you can start over again
any number of times.
**[21:52] Naoki**
I'm...
**[21:54] Kai**
Imagine it.
**[21:55] Kai**
We can evolve as far as we can imagine.
**[22:10] Kai**
What did I...?!
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is
Demon Stealth Dragon, Shiranui "Oboro"!
***SIGN*** Demon Stealth Dragon, Shiranui "Oboro"
**[23:52] Narrator**
By binding one of your opponent's
rear-guards or a card in their Drop Zone,
**[23:55] Narrator**
you can call a Mask of Domination Token
that has the same skills as the card you bound!
**[23:59] Narrator**
If you have two or more
"Shiranui" units in the Soul,
**[24:01] Narrator**
you can do a drive check when
the Mask of Domination Token attacks!
**[24:05] Narrator**
And if you bound an opponent's grade 3 unit,
**[24:07] Narrator**
that copies its skill which lets
you perform a twin drive, too!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Shingo**
Next time, I will steal the role of protagonist!
**[24:18] Shingo**
So, let's go! Cream Tornado!
**[24:20] Naoki**
Orange Cyclone!
**[24:22] Miwa**
Pink Hurricane!
**[24:23] Kourin**
Yellow Typhoon!
**[24:24] Shingo**
We are Aichi's knights, Sanctuary Knights Four!
**[24:27] All**
For the Sanctuary!
**[24:29] Miwa**
Hey, why are we giving our names now?
**[24:32] Kourin**
There weren't any scenes with
all four of us together during the episode.
**[24:35] Shingo**
Only because everyone was
off doing their own thing!
**[24:37] Naoki**
Oh, that reminds me.
**[24:38] Naoki**
I'm quittin' SK4 today, so from now on,
call me Naoki instead of Orange.

SK4 has become three again.
**[00:10] Shingo**
But I shall stay by Aichi's side to the end.
**[00:14] Shingo**
That being said...
**[00:20] Shingo**
What was that memory just now?!
**[01:54] Kai (N)**
My name is Toshiki Kai.
**[01:57] Kai (N)**
I'm still working so I can put food on my table.
***SIGN*** Miyaji Academy High School Division
**[02:04] Eru**
What?!
**[02:06] Shingo**
I'm saying that this can't be the
Psychic Research Society club room!
**[02:12] Eru**
Save the babbling for Babel.
**[02:14] Eru**
This is our promised land. We got
permission from the Council to use it.
**[02:19] Shingo**
There must be some mistake!
**[02:21] Eru**
Then let me ask you.
**[02:23] Eru**
Which club room is this?
**[02:25] Eru**
Going by your attire,
I would guess the LARPer Lovers?
**[02:28] Shingo**
Who's LARPing here?!
**[02:30] Shingo**
This room is...
**[02:33] Shingo**
Huh? Which club did I belong to?
**[02:38] Eru**
How would I know?!
**[02:40] Eru**
According to my third eye,
which sees through all things,
**[02:43] Eru**
you wish to join my Psychic Research Club.
**[02:49] Shingo**
I can't recall which club it was.
**[02:52] Shingo**
I just have a memory of playing Vanguard here.
**[02:55] Eru**
Vanguard?
**[02:58] Eru**
You mean these ESP cards?
**[03:03] Eru**
Master of Fifth Element!
**[03:10] Kai**
He's a fraud!
**[03:12] Eru**
What?!
**[03:12] Shingo**
A fraud?!
**[03:14] Kai**
Oh, hello! Bushi Eats delivery!
**[03:17] Eru**
Ahh, at last!
**[03:19] Eru**
My Psychic Donald's Supernatural Burger!
**[03:22] Shingo**
That's not how you're
supposed to use those cards!
**[03:27] Shingo**
It's unacceptable!
**[03:28] Shingo**
It's unacceptable!
**[03:30] Shingo**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[03:32] Eru**
Arise, Vanguard!
**[03:36] Eru**
You and I have had Cardfights here?
**[03:39] Shingo**
Then I really was a Vanguard fighter.
**[03:43] Shingo**
But why would I play Vanguard,
which Aichi despises?
**[03:48] Kai**
Aren't you a member of SK4?
**[03:50] Kai**
I believe it was... Cream Triceratops?
**[03:54] Shingo**
Do I have horns on my head?!
**[03:56] Shingo**
Wait, you're Toshiki Kai!
How do you know my secret identity?!
**[04:01] Kai**
With that getup on, it was obvious.
**[04:08] Shingo**
Shoot!
**[04:11] Kai**
Wait!
**[04:15] Eru**
What an oddball...

As a Brother
**[04:25] Emi**
Your brother hasn't come home in months?
**[04:28] Shinji**
Yeah.
**[04:30] Shuka**
What an awful big brother.
**[04:32] Emi**
Shuka!
**[04:34] Emi**
So where is he now?
**[04:37] Shinji**
I think he's...
**[04:40] Emi**
In there?
**[04:42] Shinji**
Yeah.
**[04:43] Emi**
Leave it to me.
**[04:46] Shuka**
Emi, don't take on a mission so easily!
**[04:51] Emi**
I promise to bring your brother back.
**[04:55] Emi**
He taught you how to play Vanguard,
and you want to play it with him again, right?
**[05:01] Shinji**
Yeah.
**[05:02] Suiko**
She sees herself in this boy
who's waiting for his elder brother.
**[05:07] Shuka**
Emi...
**[05:08] Kai**
Quick, grab him!
**[05:17] Shingo**
While I ran away unthinkingly, I've just
realized there was no reason for me to run.
**[05:24] Shinji**
Bro!
**[05:31] Shingo**
Shinji? Is that you?!
**[05:34] Shinji**
Bro!
**[05:36] Shinji**
I missed you!
**[05:39] Shingo**
Sh-Shinji, this is no time for...
**[05:43] Shuka**
Shinji's brother is a member of SK4?!
**[05:47] Suiko**
If he's in Sanctuary, that makes sense.
**[05:50] Emi**
You're Shinji's big brother!
**[05:53] Shingo**
Y-You're Aichi's younger sister!
**[05:56] Shingo**
What are you doing with Shinji?
**[05:59] Emi**
Please! Go home, for his sake!
**[06:02] Shingo**
Wh-Where did that come from?
**[06:11] Emi**
Please go home and play Vanguard with Shinji!
**[06:15] Emi**
Like you used to!
**[06:17] Emi**
Please!
**[06:20] Shingo**
B-Begging like that won't do you any good!
**[06:25] Shingo**
This has nothing to do with you--
**[06:27] Emi**
It has everything to do with me!
**[06:36] Shinji**
Please, Bro...
**[06:45] Shingo**
Shinji. While I can't
come home with you at this time...
**[06:51] Shingo**
I can still play Vanguard with you here.
**[06:55] Shinji**
Bro!
**[06:59] Shingo**
But I'll need to borrow a deck.
**[07:06] Shingo**
Thank you very much!
**[07:22] Shingo**
Shinji! I'm afraid I can't do this!
**[07:27] Shingo**
My vanguard...
**[07:29] Shingo**
I mean, my idol, Aichi Sendou, hates Vanguard!
**[07:36] Shingo**
As his loyal servant, I can't
play Vanguard without his permission!
**[07:44] Shingo**
Even so, I won't go back on my word.
**[07:48] Shinji**
Wait here.
**[07:50] Emi**
Where are you going?
**[07:53] Shingo**
To get Aichi's permission
for me to play Vanguard.
**[07:59] Kai**
Will he give you permission?
**[08:02] Shingo**
I don't know. But I can't
think of any other way to do this.
**[08:07] Shingo**
Aichi is kind.
**[08:11] Shingo**
I'm sure that he'll grant my request.
**[08:24] Kourin**
Cream. Where do you think you're going?
**[08:27] Shingo**
Yellow!
**[08:28] Shingo**
I... I need to have a word with Aichi!
**[08:31] Kourin**
Aichi is tired.
**[08:33] Kourin**
I'll relay your message to him.
**[08:36] Shingo**
If possible, I'd like to tell him directly.
**[08:40] Kourin**
Is it because you don't want me
to know what you have to say?
**[08:45] Kourin**
Do you think I don't know what's going on?
**[08:49] Shingo**
Were you listening in?!
**[08:51] Kourin**
If you don't wish to get hurt... back off!
**[08:59] Shingo**
Forget it!
**[09:05] Kourin**
Don't you understand?!
Your actions would only make Aichi sad!
**[09:10] Shingo**
I disagree!
**[09:12] Shingo**
My idol, Aichi, is a kind person!
**[09:16] Shingo**
I'm sure that he'll grant my request!
**[09:24] Kourin**
Don't be so conceited!
**[09:26] Shingo**
I'm not being conceited!
**[09:28] Kourin**
Wait!
**[09:38] Aichi**
Is that you... Shingo?
**[09:42] Shingo**
Aichi actually said my name!
**[09:45] Aichi**
What's wrong?
**[09:48] Shingo**
A-Actually--
**[09:49] Kourin**
Enough!
**[09:51] Aichi**
What's the matter, Kourin?
**[09:52] Aichi**
Why are you upset?
**[09:54] Shingo**
Aichi, I have a favor to--
**[09:56] Kourin**
Aichi, you mustn't listen to him!
**[10:01] Aichi**
What is it?
**[10:02] Shingo**
I want you to go see your little sister, Emi!
**[10:09] Kourin**
You didn't come here to get permission
to play Vanguard with your brother?
**[10:15] Shingo**
Never mind us.
**[10:17] Shingo (M)**
Shinji, I'm sorry.
**[10:20] Shingo (M)**
But right now, this is all I can do.
**[10:25] Shingo**
Emi misses you!
**[10:28] Shingo**
I'm not the kind of person
who can just brush it off
**[10:32] Shingo**
when a big brother like you
makes his sister feel lonely!
**[10:38] Shingo**
Please meet with her!
**[10:41] Aichi**
Sure.
**[10:43] Aichi**
Would you bring Emi here?
**[10:49] Shingo**
Right away!
**[11:04] Emi**
Aichi is really willing to see me?
**[11:07] Shingo**
Of course.
**[11:09] Shingo**
However, he wants you to come alone.
**[11:13] Emi**
Understood.
**[11:14] Shuka**
Emi, I'm coming with you!
**[11:16] Suiko**
Me, too.
**[11:17] Kai**
So will I.
**[11:20] Emi**
It'll be fine, everyone.
**[11:26] Shingo**
Shinji, just give me a little more time.
**[11:30] Shinji**
Sure.
**[11:37] Emi**
Wingal!
**[11:40] Shingo**
It'll take you to Aichi.
**[11:43] Emi**
See you later.
**[11:45] Shuka**
Be careful.
**[12:08] Emi**
Aichi!
**[12:18] Aichi**
Emi...
**[12:21] Emi (M)**
He's not the same Aichi as he was then.
**[12:25] Aichi**
I'm glad you came. I've missed you.
**[12:29] Emi**
Me too!
**[12:31] Emi**
Aichi, what made you
change your mind about seeing me?
**[12:35] Aichi**
Shingo said that you missed me.
**[12:41] Emi**
Aichi, I have a favor to ask.
**[12:45] Aichi**
A favor?
**[12:46] Emi**
Yeah. I want you to let Shingo
play Vanguard with his brother, Shinji.
**[12:56] Shingo**
Kindness befitting Aichi's little sister...
**[12:58] Aichi**
Emi, is that really all you came here to ask?
**[13:03] Emi**
Then may I request a favor for myself, too?
**[13:08] Emi**
Come home with me!
**[13:15] Aichi**
I can't go home.
**[13:18] Aichi**
I want you to forget about me.
**[13:26] Aichi**
Goodbye, Emi.
**[13:32] Emi**
Aichi...
**[13:33] Emi**
At least tell me why you can't come home!
**[13:40] Emi**
Aichi!
**[13:42] Aichi**
I have to protect this world.
**[13:46] Emi**
This world?
**[13:48] Aichi**
The world that you, Kai,
and the others are living in.
**[13:52] Emi**
No, you don't! This world is distorted!
**[13:55] Emi**
The real Aichi loved Vanguard
and would play it with Kai and everyone!
**[13:59] Aichi**
Emi!
**[14:01] Aichi**
This is the correct world!
**[14:06] Shingo**
Please, wait!
**[14:10] Shingo**
And you call yourself Emi's big brother?!
**[14:15] Shingo**
How can you be so nonchalant
when your sister is crying like this?!
**[14:19] Aichi**
You dare call me nonchalant?!
**[14:22] Shingo**
Y-You're not Aichi Sendou.
**[14:29] Shingo**
Aichi would never... scowl at anyone like that!
**[14:37] Shingo**
That settles it! I'm done with idolizing you!
**[14:43] Shingo**
What are these memories?!
**[14:45] Shingo**
I remember now!
**[14:47] Shingo**
Yearning to be like my idol, Aichi Sendou,
**[14:51] Shingo**
I joined the Miyaji Academy Cardfight Club!
**[14:54] Shingo**
And then we won together
at the Vanguard Koshien!
**[15:01] Shingo**
That's right! I love Vanguard!
**[15:04] Shingo**
And you, Sendou! You should also love Vanguard!
**[15:10] Aichi**
Kourin! Silence him!
**[15:14] Aichi**
Kourin?
**[15:15] Miwa**
Kourin's over there, see?
**[15:18] Emi**
Shuka!
**[15:19] Shingo**
Shinji!
**[15:21] Kourin**
Shuka the Flower Picker!
**[15:23] Kourin**
You can't do anything on your own, can you?
**[15:25] Kourin**
Today is the day I dispatch of you.
**[15:28] Shuka**
If you're only after me,
then let the others get away!
**[15:31] Kai**
I'm not gonna run away
and leave you here by yourself!
**[15:34] Suiko**
That's right, Shuka!
**[15:35] Suiko (M)**
But I can't fight to the best of my ability
with that little boy here.
**[15:40] Emi**
You brought me here so that
she could attack Shuka and the rest?!
**[15:43] Shingo**
How cowardly!
**[15:46] Miwa**
If you blame Aichi for that,
you're barking up the wrong tree.
**[15:50] Miwa**
Kourin is doing this all on her own.
**[15:54] Miwa**
Aichi didn't know about it.
**[15:56] Miwa**
Am I right?
**[16:00] Kourin**
Pulverize them!
**[16:06] Suiko**
Suiko Electric Wave Throw!
**[16:09] Suiko**
Leave this to me! Take Shinji somewhere safe!
**[16:13] Shuka**
Me?!
**[16:14] Kai**
Hurry!
**[16:15] Shuka**
O-Okay!
**[16:17] Shuka**
Let's go!
**[16:17] Shinji**
Right!
**[16:18] Kourin**
Blond Ezel!
**[16:26] Shuka**
This way!
**[16:41] Shinji**
It's hopeless!
**[16:43] Shuka**
Don't give up!
**[16:44] Shuka**
You still have to play Vanguard
with your brother now that he's back, right?!
**[16:55] Shuka**
What happened?!
**[16:58] Shinji**
Bro!
**[16:59] Shingo**
Shinji, it's okay now!
**[17:01] Shinji**
Good!
**[17:04] Emi**
Sorry I'm late!
**[17:07] Kourin**
How did you get here?!
**[17:15] Kourin**
Aichi!
**[17:17] Kai**
Aichi?!
**[17:21] Kourin**
I... I was doing this for you!
**[17:25] Shuka**
Emi, let's transform!
**[17:27] Emi**
Right!
**[17:29] Shuka**
Heaven is calling!
**[17:31] Emi**
Earth is calling!
**[17:32] Shuka**
You're calling!
**[17:33] Emi**
Calling for us to defeat evil again!

**[17:55] Aichi**
Don't, Kai!
**[17:59] Aichi**
Kai, no!
**[18:01] Aichi**
You mustn't make contact with Vanguard--
**[18:09] Emi**
Aichi!
**[18:11] Kourin**
See what you've done to Aichi?!
**[18:13] Kourin**
You'll pay for that, Toshiki Kai!
**[18:28] Kai**
They keep coming!
**[18:32] Suiko**
Kai!
**[18:38] Kourin**
What?!
**[18:42] Kourin**
Cream! What are you doing?!
**[18:45] Shingo**
I'm no longer Cream Tornado!
**[18:50] Shingo**
I'm Shingo Komoi! A member of
Miyaji Academy's Cardfight Club!
**[18:56] Kourin**
Why, you...
**[18:57] Shingo**
Magatsu Storm, I'm counting on you!
**[18:59] Kourin**
It won't accomplish anything!
**[19:03] Shingo**
What did you do?!
**[19:05] Kourin**
Traitors don't get to have powers!
**[19:08] Shingo**
But I was all ready to
look cool in front of Shinji!
**[19:12] Shingo**
That's just plain mean!
**[19:16] Shuka**
Leave the rest to us!
**[19:18] Shuka**
Emi!
**[19:19] Emi**
This week's final cards!
**[19:26] Emi**

Oath Liberator, Aglovale!

They're gold paladins from Gold Paladin!
**[19:54] Kai**
The final stroke!
**[20:17] Kai**
Thanks. If you hadn't saved us...
**[20:21] Shingo**
That was just a matter of course.
After all, you people protected Shinji.
**[20:29] Shingo**
Now, let's play some Vanguard.
**[20:31] Shinji**
Yeah!
**[20:33] Shingo**
I know just the place!
***SIGN*** Miyaji Academy High School Division
**[20:39] Shinji**
What's this?
**[20:41] Shingo**
The place where I had fun
playing Vanguard every day.
**[20:46] Eru**
I lost, despite possessing
the right hand of God?
**[20:47] Naoki**
I figured you'd pop in sooner or later.
**[20:49] Eru**
So this was the Cardfight club room?
**[20:50] Shingo**
You're... Ishida?
**[20:53] Naoki**
You remembered, huh, Shingo?
**[20:56] Shingo**
Yes, I did.
**[20:58] Shingo**
The current Sendou isn't our Sendou.
**[21:02] Naoki**
Yeah. For some reason, he's forgotten
how much fun Vanguard is, just like we had.
**[21:09] Shingo**
As fellow Cardfight Club members, our duty
is to remind him of the joy of Vanguard!
**[21:16] Naoki**
Yep, that's right.
**[21:18] Kai**
No.
**[21:20] Kai**
That's my role.
**[21:25] Shinji**
Bro...?
**[21:26] Shingo**
Oh, that's right!
**[21:28] Shingo**
We were going to play Vanguard!
**[21:31] Shinji**
Yeah!
**[21:33] Shingo**
All right, here we go!
**[21:34] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[21:38] Aichi**
Goodbye, Emi.
**[23:21] Ibuki**
Where am I?!
**[23:23] Miwa**
I ran into a blast from the past!
**[23:26] Ibuki**
That voice...
**[23:27] Miwa**
I'm gonna take him to Capital,
so let's meet up there!
**[23:33] Ibuki**
That's... me.
**[23:36] Ibuki**
And there's no mistaking it...
**[23:40] Ibuki**
It's that day!
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is
Gold Paladin's Oath Liberator, Aglovale!
***SIGN*** Oath Liberator, Aglovale
**[23:53] Narrator**
When it becomes the Vanguard,
**[23:54] Narrator**
you can look at the top three cards
of your deck and call one of them!
**[23:58] Narrator**
But when it's a rear-guard, if you put
another rear-guard in the Soul as it attacks,
**[24:01] Narrator**
it will gain +10,000 power!
**[24:03] Narrator**
On top of that, at the end of that battle,
this unit returns to your hand!
**[24:06] Narrator**
Call it again on your next turn
to attack once more with its mighty power!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Ibuki**
While Kai's been the main character
for a number of episodes now,
**[24:19] Ibuki**
next time sees the return of the true main: me!
**[24:21] Ibuki**
But first, an insider tip for you!
**[24:23] Ibuki**
You'll enjoy the next episode even more
**[24:26] Ibuki**
if you rewatch episode 44 or so
of the Aichi high school arc.
**[24:28] Ibuki**
Why, you may ask?
**[24:30] Ibuki**
Because the next episode
starts a story arc involving my past!
**[24:33] Ibuki**
One of those time... pair-of-ducks.
**[24:36] Suiko**
That's "paradox."
**[24:37] Ibuki**
Hey, Suiko!
**[24:37] Ibuki**
Were you longing for my return?
**[24:40] Suiko**
Huh? Uh-huh...

**[00:06] Aichi**
Don't, Kai!
**[00:10] Aichi**
Kai, no!
**[00:12] Aichi**
You mustn't make contact with Vanguard...
**[00:17] Kourin**
I can hear the grief in Aichi's voice...
**[00:22] Kourin**
But it's no wonder,
**[00:23] Kourin**
given how those magical girls split off
our SK4 members all too easily.
**[00:32] Miwa**
So we're finally alone together.
**[00:36] Kourin**
Pink Hurricane.
**[00:38] Miwa**
Why not get to know each other better?
**[00:41] Kourin**
Don't touch me!
**[00:42] Miwa**
Hey, don't get angry.
**[00:44] Miwa**
A smile looks much better on...
**[00:46] Kourin**
Do you realize how aggravating you are?!
**[00:48] Miwa**
N-No!
**[00:50] Miwa**
I mean, yes? Maybe no?
**[00:52] Miwa**
Um... I guess neither's a good answer.
**[00:55] Kourin**
This is what annoys me about you!
**[00:57] Kourin**
First of all, just where
have you been all this time?!
**[01:01] Miwa**
Does it really matter?
**[01:03] Miwa**
Let me be your boyfriend, though,
and I'd be open about all of that.
**[01:13] Kourin (M)**
He can do what he wants.
**[01:15] Kourin (M)**
I have a replacement in mind.

Unwaning Wounds
**[02:56] Ibuki**
My name is Kouji Ibuki.
**[02:58] Ibuki**
Guided by the Akashic Book,
**[03:00] Ibuki**
I've been on a journey to correct
the distortions in this world.
**[03:05] Ibuki**
That is most definitely me.
**[03:09] Miwa**
So, those Miyaji Academy guys you once
picked a fight with at Fukuhara?
**[03:13] Miwa**
They're gonna be there, too.
**[03:15] Ibuki**
Now that you mention it,
the place does sound familiar.
**[03:19] Miwa**
Don't make trouble there.
**[03:21] Ibuki**
I'll be on my best behavior.
**[03:24] Ibuki (M)**
That day...
**[03:26] Ibuki (M)**
I went to Card Capital...
**[03:29] Ibuki (M)**
...and then...
**[03:31] Kai/Ibuki**
Stand up the Vanguard!
**[03:34] Ibuki**
Begone!
**[03:36] Ibuki**
Disappear!
**[03:39] Ibuki (M)**
That's right. I Deleted Kai.
**[03:45] Ibuki**
I can't let you go to Aichi Sendou.
**[03:48] Miwa**
Wh-What brought that on, Ibuki?
**[03:52] Ibuki**
According to Suiko,
**[03:54] Ibuki**
if I make contact with my past self,
a paradox will result and repel me away.
**[04:00] Ibuki**
Given that there's no guarantee
I can return to my original world,
**[04:03] Ibuki**
I can't even afford to try it.
**[04:06] Asaka**
Ren, please be careful!
**[04:09] Ren**
I'll be back soon, Asaka!
**[04:19] Rekka**
Hey! What are you staring at?!
**[04:21] Ibuki**
Who are you?
**[04:23] Rekka**
I can barely see with
this thing on, so stand clear!
**[04:27] Rekka**
Ack! It's Kouji Ibuki...
**[04:29] Ibuki**
Tch. Well, if it isn't
the beautiful young heroine.
**[04:32] Ibuki**
So where's Mr. Shoulder Pads?
**[04:34] Rekka**
What are you talking about?
**[04:37] Ibuki (M)**
Uh oh. Something feels off here...
**[04:41] Ibuki**
Hey, are you really Rekka Tatsunagi?
**[04:45] Rekka**
That's right! I'm ULTRARARE's
ever-charming ultimate weapon:
**[04:50] Rekka**
Rekka!
***SIGN*** Shock
**[04:53] Ibuki (M)**
I messed up!
**[04:55] Ibuki (M)**
It's yet another historical distortion!
**[04:58] Rekka**
It's a call and response!
**[05:01] Rekka**
When I say "Rekka!" you go, "love-love"!
**[05:05] Rekka**
Ready? I'm Rekka! Love...
**[05:08] Ibuki**
I don't care!
**[05:09] Ibuki**
What the heck are you even doing here?!
**[05:12] Rekka**
Well, I'm in charge of monitoring Ren Suzugamori.
**[05:15] Rekka**
Uh oh! Oh, oh no!
**[05:17] Rekka**
I lost sight of him!
**[05:19] Ibuki**
This really is bad.
**[05:21] Ibuki**
I'd better get away before
it turns into a catastrophe.
**[05:25] Suiko**
Running away?
**[05:28] Suiko**
But wasn't your mistake where it all began?
**[05:36] Ibuki**
My mistake?
**[05:40] Suiko**
You severed my bond with Vanguard, as well.
**[05:46] Ibuki**
My mistake...
**[05:48] Ibuki**
My sin...
**[05:51] Ibuki**
By going through those doors
and stopping my own fight with Kai,
**[05:56] Ibuki**
can I prevent it all from happening?
**[06:00] Kourin**
That's a very good question.
**[06:02] Ibuki**
Now you?
**[06:04] Ibuki**
Are the three of you making
a tag-team psychological barrage?
**[06:08] Kourin**
No, this is reality.
**[06:10] Ibuki**
What?
**[06:12] Kourin**
Toshiki Kai wasn't the only one
that you Deleted, correct?
**[06:16] Ibuki**
You read that book, too?!
**[06:19] Kourin**
Now, let's enumerate your sins.
**[06:37] Ibuki**
Excuse me!
**[06:39] Ibuki**
I'll play you.
**[06:43] Ibuki**
What is this?!
**[06:44] Kourin**
Your first victim.
**[06:50] Kourin**
After you Deleted him, he never won
another karate match, either.
**[06:57] Ibuki**
That has nothing to do with this!
**[07:00] Kourin**
It has *everything* to do with it.
**[07:01] Kourin**
You're the one who infused him
with the trauma of defeat.
**[07:11] Tetsu**
Dantarian!
**[07:13] Tetsu**
I-It can't be!
**[07:14] Tetsu**
The unit I was riding got ripped away?!
**[07:17] Ibuki**
That's right. This one eradicates Vanguards.
**[07:20] Ibuki**
It's a super-powered being from
the planet Cray, as well as my avatar!
**[07:25] Ibuki**
Docking Deletor, Greion!
**[07:29] Ibuki**
Delete End!
**[07:34] Kourin**
And not just him.
**[07:39] Kourin**
Takuto Tatsunagi.
**[07:43] Kourin**
Kyou Yahagi.
**[07:45] Kourin**
You also severed the bonds
that many others had with Vanguard.
**[07:50] Ibuki**
That was my sin...
**[07:52] Kourin**
But if you act now, you can make it in time.
**[07:56] Kourin**
You can stop that fight before it's all over.
**[08:00] Ibuki**
Turn to dust and blow away!
**[08:03] Ibuki**
Docking Release!
**[08:06] Kourin**
That's the only way for you to erase your sin.
**[08:09] Ibuki**
Shut up!
**[08:12] Ibuki**
Delete End!
**[08:20] Kourin**
Why not?!
**[08:21] Kourin**
That was your chance for a do-over!
**[08:23] Ibuki**
Enough!
**[08:24] Ibuki**
I don't know what your scheme is,
**[08:26] Ibuki**
but I don't have the free time
to spend dwelling over the past!
**[08:32] Ibuki**
What's this?
**[08:33] Kourin**
Fukuhara High, the day you Deleted Suiko.
**[08:38] Suiko**
Is that so?
**[08:39] Suiko**
Then I'm afraid I'll have to
take away your freedom.
**[08:44] Ibuki**
What a pain in the neck...
**[08:46] Ibuki**
I'll Delete you, too.
**[08:50] Suiko**
Just so you know,
I never liked you from the start.
**[08:56] Ibuki**
The feeling is mutual.
**[08:58] Ibuki**
Hang on!
**[09:00] Ibuki**
Wasn't she a PSYqualia zombie then?!
**[09:03] Ibuki**
I freed her from that curse!
She shouldn't have a grudge against me!
**[09:08] Kourin**
That's so like you.
**[09:11] Kourin**
Smugly and self-righteously justifying
how you "freed" people from the chains of battle,
**[09:15] Kourin**
when all you did was indiscriminately
sever their bonds with Vanguard!
**[09:27] Ibuki**
And how would you know?!
**[09:30] Kourin**
I could tell how much Suiko suffered
after you severed her bond.
**[09:40] Kourin**
After you Deleted her,
she lost interest in Vanguard.
**[09:48] Kourin**
But she made a painstaking effort
to hide that fact from everyone around her.
**[09:55] Kourin**
She was desperate.
**[09:58] Ibuki**
But I already made up for that!
**[10:01] Ibuki**
Stand up the Vanguard!
**[10:01] Suiko**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[10:04] Ibuki (M)**
Suiko fought me and won.
**[10:07] Ibuki (M)**
She regained her bond with Vanguard.
**[10:10] Suiko**
Solidify Celestial, Zerachiel!
**[10:13] Suiko**
Receive the judgment of love!
**[10:26] Kourin**
You don't understand a thing.
**[10:30] Ibuki**
What?!
**[10:31] Kourin**
She may have regained her bond,
**[10:34] Kourin**
but her wounded psyche will never fully heal.
**[10:43] Ibuki**
Docking Release!
**[10:52] Suiko**
Zerachiel!
**[10:54] Ibuki**
Her wounded psyche...
**[10:57] Kourin**
This is your only chance to fix it.
**[10:59] Kourin**
Revise the past and let Suiko
be as innocent as she was.
**[11:03] Kourin**
Or do you wish to spend the rest of your life...
**[11:09] Kourin**
...atoning for your sins?
**[11:39] Ibuki**
No!
**[12:24] Kai**
That leaves just two members of SK4.
**[12:29] Shuka**
If there's no one left to protect Sanctuary,
**[12:32] Shuka**
we should be able to enter
"the place where it began."
**[12:37] Kai**
"Should" be able to?
**[12:41] Shuka**
I'm sorry.
**[12:42] Suiko**
Now now, calm down and have some tea.
**[12:46] Emi**
This is new territory for Shuka, too,
**[12:48] Emi**
so we have to consider a variety of methods.
**[12:50] Kai**
You sure are upbeat.
**[12:53] Emi**
My big brother's an introvert,
so I had to be when dealing with him.
**[13:02] Emi**
What is it?
**[13:05] Shuka**
Oh no!
**[13:06] Emi**
Shuka?
**[13:09] Emi**
What's wrong?!
**[13:11] Shuka**
The fate of the stars is being overwritten!
**[13:19] Shuka**
And we'd worked so hard
to fix all those distortions!
**[13:24] Kai**
What's going on?!
**[13:25] Emi**
I don't know, but she said it has
something to do with fate.
**[13:28] Kai**
What?!
**[13:30] Kai**
What is it?
**[13:33] Suiko**
A page has been torn out!
**[13:36] Suiko**
Someone has revised history.
**[13:38] Kai**
Who did it?!
**[13:57] Suiko**
Ibuki!
**[13:58] Kai**
You're okay! What have you been doing?!
**[14:01] Kai**
When you got swallowed up in the forest, I...
**[14:06] Ibuki**
...thought I was dead?
**[14:09] Ibuki**
But as you can see, I'm in tip-top shape.
**[14:12] Ibuki**
Did something happen?
**[14:14] Emi**
Yes!
**[14:15] Shuka**
The course of the stars is messed up.
**[14:17] Ibuki**
What?!
**[14:19] Suiko**
The Akashic Book, too.
**[14:21] Ibuki**
I see...
**[14:23] Ibuki**
Tearing out a page of written history
is the same as it never having happened.
**[14:30] Ibuki**
We revered that history,
tried to protect it, to restore it...
**[14:36] Ibuki**
How foolish we were.
**[14:39] Suiko**
What are you saying, Ibuki?
**[14:41] Kai**
Something's wrong with him!
**[14:43] Shuka**
Get back, Suiko!
**[14:45] Emi**
You're not the real Ibuki!
I bet you're a Jammer!
**[14:49] Ibuki**
What a terrible accusation!
**[14:51] Ibuki**
I'm not a Jammer.
**[14:53] Kourin**
He's telling you the truth.
**[14:56] Kourin**
He's a Sanctuary Knight.
**[14:58] Kourin**
My final trump card.
**[15:01] Kourin**
Silver... Juggler.
**[15:05] The Two**
Silver...
**[15:06] The Two**
...Juggler?!
**[15:10] Kai**
You stopped doing the typhoon series?
**[15:12] Emi**
I feel like I've seen this kind of
brainwashing pattern a lot!
**[15:15] Kai**
Seen it where?
**[15:17] Shuka**
Wrong! It's an imposter pattern!
**[15:20] Shuka**
See that nasty look in his eye!
**[15:21] Kai**
He's always had that!
**[15:23] Kourin**
Could we finish the comedy routine already?
**[15:29] Kai**
Crud!
**[15:30] Kai**
We've got a whole lineup here!
**[15:33] Shuka**
Let's do it, Emi!
**[15:34] Emi**
Okay, Shuka!
**[15:50] The Two**
Hurry up! Blaster Pair!
**[15:56] Ibuki**
The meddling magical girls!
What a surprise!
**[16:00] Shuka**
We're bound together by a dream!
**[16:03] Emi**
We're not kidding around! So get lost!
**[16:06] Ibuki**
Go, my minions!
**[16:12] Emi**
I can't do this!
**[16:13] Kai**
Why are you hiding?!
**[16:15] Emi**
I mean, look at them!
**[16:17] Emi**
I just can't!
**[16:21] Shuka**
Emi, here's this week's final card!
**[16:28] Emi**
Realize!
**[16:39] The Two**
Exxtreme Battler, Victor!
**[16:42] Kai**
Whoa, a giant robot!
**[16:43] Suiko**
Boys really do love those things, huh?
**[16:48] Shuka**
Let's go, Emi!
**[16:49] Emi**
What, me too?!
**[16:51] Shuka**
Of course!
**[16:57] The Two**
Let's go!
**[16:58] The Two**
Explosive fighting spirit!
**[17:01] The Two**
Victor!
***SIGN*** Victor
**[17:03] Kai**
That was awesome!
**[17:04] Suiko**
Now you're just being silly!
**[17:06] Kourin**
It's just a big puppet.
**[17:08] Ibuki**
Go, my minions!
**[17:12] The Two**
Victor...
**[17:14] The Two**
...Sword!
**[17:20] Shuka**
Did you see that?!
**[17:22] Shuka**
When we join forces, Victor's power is infinite!
**[17:26] Ibuki**
Don't get cocky!
**[17:34] The Two**
What's that?!
**[17:36] Ibuki**
Docking Deletor...
**[17:38] Ibuki**
...Greion!
**[17:47] Ibuki**
Vanish Delete!
**[17:58] Kai**
Shuka!
**[17:59] Kai**
Lend me your power!
**[18:01] Kai**
Hurry!
**[18:03] Shuka**
Okay!
**[18:04] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[18:11] Emi**
Superior Realize!
**[18:17] Kai**
I ride the Vanguard!
**[18:21] Kai**
Blaster Blade!
**[18:34] Ibuki**
Don't interfere!
**[18:35] Kai**
Why, Ibuki?!
**[18:37] Kai**
Why would you become an agent of Sanctuary?!
**[18:41] Ibuki**
I was sick of it.
**[18:43] Ibuki**
Sick of my conscience
always tormenting me for my sins!
**[18:54] Suiko**
Ibuki, why are you doing this?!
**[18:58] Kourin**
You should know why.
**[19:00] Kourin**
He's been betrayed again and again.
**[19:04] Kourin**
By his acquaintances...
**[19:06] Kourin**
By his friends...
**[19:09] Kourin**
Even when he'd formed a connection,
**[19:14] Kourin**
one he expected to be lifelong, he was betrayed.
**[19:17] Kourin**
He'd get hurt, and then, in the end,
he'd be alone all over again.
**[19:25] Kourin**
That's why he made a vow.
**[19:29] Kourin**
To erase all the bonds in this world!
**[19:33] Kourin**
By doing that, he would never
have to experience despair again.
**[19:41] Ibuki**
I don't mean I'm your enemy, personally.
**[19:45] Ibuki**
I hate all Vanguard fighters,
and Vanguard itself.
**[19:49] Ibuki**
That's right.
**[19:50] Ibuki**
I'm the enemy of everything Vanguard!
**[19:55] Ibuki**
And just what do you know about me?!
**[19:57] Ibuki**
Begone!
**[19:59] Ibuki**
Disappear!
**[20:03] Kai**
What?!
**[20:04] Kai**
This isn't a memory from my childhood!
**[20:07] Kai**
Have I ever fought Ibuki?!
**[20:11] Suiko**
You're lying!
**[20:12] Suiko**
Ibuki doesn't have any hate in his heart!
**[20:15] Kourin**
You're wrong. He'd just forgotten it.
**[20:18] Kourin**
But once I dredged up a bit of his past,
everything came back to him.
**[20:35] Suiko**
Kourin! What have you done to him?!
**[20:39] Kourin**
Huh. So that's how it is between you two?
**[20:43] Suiko**
No! We're inseparable, but not by choice...
**[20:46] Ibuki**
Get them, Greion!
**[20:49] Ibuki**
Docking...
**[20:51] Ibuki**
...Release!
**[20:54] Kai**
Blaster Blade!
**[21:02] Ibuki**
Kai! It's your turn next!
**[21:07] Emi**
Shuka, isn't there something we can do?!
**[21:09] Shuka**
I'm looking, but I can't find anything!
**[21:12] Suiko**
Stop it, Ibuki!
**[21:13] Suiko**
Do you intend to repeat
the same mistake you did before?!
**[21:17] Ibuki**
Shut up! I'm gonna make my *own* history.
**[21:20] Ibuki**
Greion! Delete End Kai!
**[21:25] The Two**
No!
**[21:30] Suiko**
Kai!
**[21:37] Ibuki**
Who's there?!
**[21:40] Miwa**
Sorry I'm late.
**[21:43] The Two**
It's you...
**[21:44] Ibuki**
It's you...?!
**[21:47] Miwa**
Doing okay, Kai?!
**[21:49] Kai**
Miwa...
**[21:50] Kourin**
You dare betray us, Pink Hurricane?!
**[21:53] Miwa**
Betray you?! Ha! I don't recall
ever joining your little club!
**[21:59] Miwa**
See, I'm *their* friend, not yours!
**[22:04] Miwa**
Taishi Miwa!
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is
Nova Grappler's Exxtreme Battler, Victor!
***SIGN*** Exxtreme Battler, Victor
**[23:52] Narrator**
When it's placed, you can look at
the top seven cards in your deck
**[23:55] Narrator**
and call a unit of grade 2 or less with
"Extreme Battler" in the name (not "Exxtreme").
**[23:59] Narrator**
On top of that, when it attacks,
you can stand one rear-guard unit.
**[24:02] Narrator**
If that rear-guard stands
two or more times during that turn,
**[24:05] Narrator**
Victor gets an extra drive check!
**[24:07] Narrator**
Re-stand the same rear-guard
multiple times for an "exxtreme" battle!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"ride the Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride the Vanguard!
**[24:16] Kai**
So the once-missing Ibuki is now an enemy,
while the boss-enemy Miwa is now an ally?
**[24:21] Kai**
What the heck is going on here?
**[24:23] Kai**
You say this happens a lot in anime?
**[24:27] Kai**
If you suspect amnesia,
they're being mind-controlled.
**[24:29] Kai**
If you think they're dead, they'll be back?
**[24:32] Kai**
To fool the enemy, pretend to be their ally?
**[24:34] Kai**
You know, I *have* seen that recently,
in an action movie series...
**[24:39] Kai**
Coming next time on
*Cardfight!! Vanguard Extra Story -if-!*

**[00:01] Kourin**
You'll pay. You'll pay...
**[00:04] Kourin**
You'll pay for this!
**[00:06] Kourin**
You're a disgrace to the name of SK4!
**[00:09] Kourin**
Apologize to Aichi with your life!
**[00:15] Miwa**
Sorry, Kourin!
**[00:16] Miwa**
These guys are more important to me.
**[00:18] Kai**
Miwa...
**[00:20] Ibuki**
I'll Delete both of you!
**[00:22] Miwa**
Asura Kaiser!
**[00:28] Ibuki**
Back off!
**[00:29] Miwa**
You say "back off," but I'm not
stupid enough to actually do that!
**[00:33] Ibuki**
So, you've seen through my ability?
**[00:37] Miwa**
I'm counting on you girls!
**[00:39] Shuka**
Here I go, Emi!
**[00:41] Emi**
Realize!
**[00:46] Miwa**
Let's meet again, Ibuki!
**[00:48] Miwa**
At the place it all began for us!
**[00:50] Ibuki**
The place it all began?
**[00:56] Kourin**
They got away.
**[00:58] Ibuki**
Don't worry. I'll Delete all of them.
***SIGN*** if 20
The Place of Beginnings
**[02:45] Suiko**
If we made it this far, we should be safe.
**[02:47] Shuka**
My heart is still pounding!
**[02:50] Emi**
Just what was that "Deletor"?
**[02:53] Emi**
Why would Ibuki be like that?
**[02:57] Miwa**
I'll tell you.
**[02:59] Kai**
Miwa?
**[03:01] Miwa**
Deletors can delete a unit from the board.
**[03:04] Miwa**
Any person who gets Deleted
has their bond with Vanguard severed
**[03:08] Miwa**
and can no longer imagine having one.
**[03:11] Shuka**
I don't believe you!
Bukki would never use units like that!
**[03:15] Suiko**
He has used them before.
**[03:18] Suiko**
He despised Vanguard.
**[03:21] Suiko**
He even said that Deleting people
"freed" them from the chains of battle.
**[03:26] Suiko**
To be honest, I really didn't like
being reminded of how he was back then...
**[03:39] Kai**
The image that I saw...
**[03:41] Kai**
Then that was real, too?
**[03:44] Kai**
I can't believe it.
**[03:46] Kai**
Ibuki taught us how to play Vanguard.
He was our vanguard!
**[03:51] Kai**
So why would he...?
**[03:52] Miwa**
Don't get the wrong idea, Kai.
**[03:55] Miwa**
The image you saw wasn't your memory.
**[03:59] Miwa**
It was an echo of Ibuki's PSYqualia.
**[04:03] Kai**
What are you talking about, Miwa?
**[04:06] Miwa**
Despite living here all this time,
I've always sensed that something was off.
**[04:12] Miwa (N)**
I couldn't put my finger on why.
**[04:14] Miwa (N)**
It felt like a pebble in a well-fitted shoe.
**[04:20] Miwa (N)**
But then, one day...
**[04:22] Miwa (N)**
...I spotted you by chance.
**[04:25] Miwa (N)**
You seemed a bit different from the Kai I knew.
**[04:32] Miwa (N)**
But that's when I had the thought:
**[04:35] Miwa (N)**
If you were doing well, I was fine with it.
**[04:39] Miwa (N)**
Thing is, though, the moment I tried to
ignore it, the truth of this world got revealed.
**[04:49] Morikawa**
Ow!
**[04:50] Morikawa**
I've still got another scene...
**[04:52] Miwa**
Wh-What the...?
**[04:54] Miwa**
Morikawa? What the heck happened?
**[04:57] Morikawa**
I remember fighting magical girls, and then...
**[05:01] Miwa**
Magical girls? You must've been daydreaming.
**[05:04] Morikawa**
You're probably right.
**[05:09] Miwa**
H-Hey!
**[05:12] Miwa**
Wait!
**[05:16] Miwa**
Kourin?
**[05:17] Kourin**
My name is Yellow Typhoon.
**[05:20] Kourin**
I protect Sanctuary.
**[05:23] Miwa**
First him, now you.
What the heck is going on?
**[05:26] Kourin**
You've noticed them too, haven't you?
**[05:29] Kourin**
The distortions in the world...
**[05:31] Miwa**
Distortions?
**[05:33] Kourin**
Someone is threatening Toshiki Kai's happiness.
**[05:38] Miwa**
Toshiki Kai...
**[05:39] Miwa**
You know Kai?
**[05:45] Miwa**
Long story short, I became one of them,
but there was something that didn't make sense.
**[05:53] Miwa**
I'm talking about Ibuki.
**[05:55] Miwa**
The Blaster Pair are Sanctuary's enemy
because they threatened Kai's happiness.
**[06:00] Miwa**
But Ibuki, our old friend,
was on the magical girls' side.
**[06:07] Miwa**
Why?
**[06:08] Suiko**
Well, that's...
**[06:09] Shuka**
Of course he was!
The distortions are from your side.
**[06:13] Emi**
Ibuki was trying to turn
Kai and Aichi back to normal.
**[06:18] Miwa**
That's what he said.
**[06:21] Kai**
He?
**[06:22] Miwa**
You met him before, right?
**[06:25] Miwa**
Takuto Tatsunagi.
**[06:27] Suiko**
You met Takuto?
**[06:30] Miwa**
Yeah.
**[06:31] Miwa**
He and I talked after I clashed with you guys,
though the stuff he said flew way over my head.
**[06:39] Takuto**
In the multiverse
created by a quantum universe,
**[06:42] Takuto**
even your current self
is no more than a single possibility.
**[06:45] Takuto**
What is the truth? No more than
an observer's personal--
**[06:48] Miwa**
Sorry, but...
**[06:50] Miwa**
Could you make that a bit easier to follow?
**[06:56] Takuto**
If you look from above, the lid looks bulging,
but if you look from below, it looks dented.
**[07:03] Takuto**
The reason you sense something off
about the current Toshiki Kai
**[07:07] Takuto**
is because your consciousness
is connected to the other you,
**[07:11] Takuto**
the one who knows
the bulging-top-side Toshiki Kai.
**[07:15] Miwa**
I really don't get it.
**[07:17] Miwa**
But let me ask you something.
**[07:21] Miwa**
You know where Ibuki is right now, don't you?
**[07:27] Takuto**
Right now, he's inside a past mistake.
**[07:31] Miwa**
Mistake?
**[07:33] Takuto**
Back when he caused mayhem
by using the power of Deletors.
**[07:40] Takuto**
I suspect Kourin is attempting
to construct a world line
**[07:44] Takuto**
in which Kouji Ibuki
never received Neon Messiah.
**[07:48] Takuto**
Back then, he was a lot like
how Aichi Sendou is now.
**[07:53] Takuto**
Perhaps those two would get along rather well.
**[07:58] Emi**
Aichi and Ibuki...
**[08:02] Aichi**
This is reassuring.
**[08:04] Aichi**
I never imagined you would become
a Sanctuary Knight, Ibuki.
**[08:09] Ibuki**
Just so we're clear, I never agreed
to become your lackey.
**[08:14] Ibuki**
I joined because we have a common objective.
**[08:17] Ibuki**
That's all.
**[08:18] Aichi**
Yes, I know.
**[08:21] Aichi**
I think we'll get along famously.
**[08:25] Ibuki**
Oh, yeah?
**[08:27] Kourin (M)**
That's right. You two are birds of a feather.
**[08:30] Kourin (M)**
You both despise Vanguard and wish to erase it.
**[08:34] Ibuki**
Thanks for lunch.
**[08:36] Aichi**
Finished already?
**[08:38] Ibuki**
I'm keeping people waiting.
**[08:40] Aichi**
Kourin. Take him there.
**[08:43] Kourin**
Certainly.
**[08:43] Ibuki**
No need.
**[08:45] Ibuki**
I can get there by myself.
**[08:47] Ibuki**
It's like my backyard.
**[08:51] Ibuki (M)**
The place where it all began
for Kai, Miwa, and me...
**[08:57] Kai**
Oh, you've gotta be kidding me.
**[08:59] Suiko**
What are you talking about?
**[09:00] Miwa**
You see, we'd made a bet about
what kind of animal was at this park.
**[09:06] Kai**
Ibuki said it was a hippo,
while Miwa and I went with pig.
**[09:11] Kai**
To think it'd be a panda...
**[09:13] Suiko**
I'll ask once more:
What are you talking about?
**[09:16] Miwa**
Oh, sorry.
**[09:18] Miwa**
This is where it all began for us.
**[09:21] Shuka**
Where what all began?
**[09:23] Miwa**
This park is where
Ibuki taught us how to play Vanguard.
**[09:29] Kai**
After that, we played here almost every day.
**[09:32] Miwa**
We sure did.
We'd play all day, till the sun set.
**[09:36] Emi**
So this is an important place for you three.
**[09:38] Kai**
If we wait here, I'm sure Ibuki will come.
**[09:42] Suiko**
That's all well and good,
but he has Deletor powers.
**[09:45] Suiko**
Do you have a chance of beating him?
**[09:47] Miwa**
We do! Or we probably do.
**[09:49] Miwa**
Right?
**[09:50] Shuka**
I'm not sure...
**[09:52] Miwa**
If it doesn't work out, we can
always think of something else.
**[09:55] Ibuki**
Think of what?
**[10:05] Ibuki**
With your lightweight brains,
deep thoughts are too much of a load.
**[10:11] Miwa**
Aren't you the confident public speaker now.
**[10:14] Miwa**
Still the same Ibuki who threw up
on the bus and cried during our field trip?
**[10:19] Ibuki**
Shut up, Miwa.
**[10:21] Ibuki**
I'm going to "Delete End"
all of those memories of yours.
**[10:25] Kai**
Please reconsider this, Ibuki.
**[10:26] Kai**
We're old friends, remember?!
**[10:28] Kai**
Why can't we laugh together like we used to?
**[10:31] Suiko**
He's right. Kourin altered your past!
**[10:34] Ibuki**
You stay out of this!
**[10:37] Shuka**
Don't talk to her like that!
**[10:39] Emi**
Haven't we been friends
making this journey together?!
**[10:43] Miwa**
His past has been overwritten.
**[10:45] Miwa**
He doesn't remember
any of his experiences with you.
**[10:48] Shuka**
What should we do, Emi?
**[10:50] Emi**
Something I'd rather not do,
but we have no choice!
**[10:54] Emi**
Now's the time to take initiative! Make a stand!
**[10:57] Shuka**
Who cares who's the strongest?
Just keep at it till it's over!
**[11:02] The Two**
Try to win with your own power!
**[11:08] Ibuki**
I warned you!
**[11:15] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[11:22] Emi**
Realize!
**[11:26] Cat Butler**
Always at your call, m'lady.
**[11:29] Ibuki**
Those who interfere will get no mercy,
not even if they're women or children.
**[11:48] Ibuki**
Go!
**[11:53] Emi**
Shuka!
**[11:54] Shuka**
I-It's okay!
**[11:56] Ibuki**
Okay how?
**[11:57] Ibuki**
Bind!
**[12:02] Shuka**
Cat Butler!
**[12:03] Emi**
Please, Aermo!
**[12:09] Ibuki**
Vanish Delete!
**[12:14] Shuka**
Aermo!
**[12:15] Suiko**
This is another Deletor power!
**[12:18] Kai**
Shuka! Emi!
**[12:19] Miwa**
Lend us your power!
**[12:21] Shuka**
Roger that!
**[12:28] Emi**
Superior Realize!
**[12:44] Ibuki**
Don't underestimate me.
**[12:58] Ibuki**
Go, Docking Deletor, Greion!
**[13:05] Ibuki**
Eat this, Miwa!
**[13:10] Miwa**
You're our vanguard,
the one who taught us how to play!
**[13:14] Miwa**
But that doesn't mean
we're never gonna surpass you!
**[13:28] Ibuki**
Greion!
**[13:30] The Two**
Yes!
**[13:31] Miwa**
Ibuki!
**[13:33] Suiko**
If you win this fight,
we may be able to get him back!
**[13:38] Kourin**
How naive!
**[13:44] Miwa**
Hey, you're...
**[13:46] Kourin**
You cowards.
**[13:48] Kourin**
Why don't you fight fair and square?
**[13:51] Suiko**
Kourin!
**[13:53] Kourin**
Go, my servants!
**[14:01] Ibuki**
Stay out of this!
**[14:03] Kourin**
What? I'm only helping you because
it seemed they had you on the ropes.
**[14:07] Suiko**
Shuka, lend me power, too!
**[14:13] Suiko**
Kourin!
**[14:18] Suiko**
Back off, Kourin!
**[14:20] Suiko**
You have no business being here!
**[14:23] Kourin**
You talk like you have the right
to treat Ibuki however you want!
**[14:28] Suiko**
What would you know?!
**[14:31] Suiko**
He was wracked with guilt over the Deletors.
**[14:35] Suiko**
But even while suffering all this time,
he's still been trying to atone for his sins!
**[14:41] Suiko**
If you'd trample on his feelings,
all his efforts, then I'll--
**[14:45] Kourin**
I don't care about any of that!
**[14:50] Kourin**
Kouji Ibuki has just one wish.
**[14:54] Ibuki**
Come to me, my avatar!
**[14:57] Kourin**
To eradicate Vanguard!
**[14:59] Kourin**
And that's Aichi's wish, too!
**[15:04] Ibuki**
Waving Deletor, Greidhol!
**[15:08] Shuka**
That's Bukki's Vanguard!
**[15:11] Emi**
It looks really ominous!
**[15:14] Ibuki**
Docking Release!
**[15:24] Suiko**
Kai!
**[15:25] Ibuki**
Every sound you make, from your heart,
your pulse, your performance...
**[15:31] Ibuki**
...will all be erased...
**[15:33] Ibuki**
...by my Greidhol!
**[15:37] Kai**
I finally figured it out.
**[15:39] Ibuki**
What?
**[15:40] Kai**
Why something felt off.
**[15:43] Kai**
If you claim to despise Vanguard and want
to erase it, then why do you use Vanguard?
**[15:49] Kai**
No matter how much
you talk about resentment,
**[15:52] Kai**
even now, you still like Vanguard!
**[15:55] Emi**
That's right!
**[15:56] Shuka**
E-Emi?
**[15:58] Emi**
Remember how Ibuki kept challenging people
to fights, even when he knew they'd refuse?
**[16:05] Emi**
Ibuki, you love Vanguard!
**[16:08] Ibuki**
Keep quiet!
**[16:10] Emi**
I won't be quiet!
**[16:11] Emi**
After all, we've been making
this journey together as friends!
**[16:17] Ibuki**
Friends...
**[16:19] Kourin (M)**
No! His memories are returning!
**[16:21] Kourin**
Blond Ezel!
**[16:23] Kourin**
Dispose of them, starting with those girls!
**[16:26] Suiko**
Oh no, you don't!
**[16:28] Kourin**
Suiko!
**[16:29] Suiko**
Remember, Ibuki!
**[16:31] Suiko**
Remember our travels!
**[16:37] Kai**
Remember how the three of us
used to play back then!
**[16:41] Young Kai**
Ibuki, let's play Vanguard together!
**[16:50] Ibuki**
You're annoying me!
**[16:51] Ibuki**
Greidhol!
**[16:52] Ibuki**
Delete End!
**[16:59] Miwa**
Kai!
**[17:04] Kai**
Miwa!
**[17:12] Miwa**
Don't worry about me.
**[17:13] Miwa**
All I wanted was to protect your smile.
**[17:17] Kai**
But that's no reason to...
**[17:20] Miwa**
Like Shingo and Naoki, I'm just gonna
return to my original world line.
**[17:26] Miwa**
Right?
**[17:28] Miwa**
Ibuki, I have a message for you
from the Concert Master:
**[17:33] Miwa**
"There's no creation without destruction."
**[17:36] Miwa**
Even your Deletor's ability serves a purpose.
**[17:41] Miwa**
Y'see, Ibuki?
**[17:43] Kai**
Miwa!
**[17:46] Kai**
Haven't you had enough, Ibuki?!
**[17:48] Kai**
There's no more reason for us to fight!
**[17:53] Kourin**
But there is.
**[17:55] Kourin**
We share the same goal as Aichi,
**[17:59] Kourin**
to erase everything having to do with Vanguard!
**[18:02] Emi**
Why can't you understand?!
**[18:04] Emi**
Aichi doesn't actually want anyone to fight!
**[18:10] Shuka**
What's this?
**[18:12] Miwa**
A special card I borrowed from Takuto.
**[18:16] Miwa**
I bet it'll come in handy somehow.
**[18:18] Miwa**
You hold onto it.
**[18:22] Shuka**
Emi! Use this!
**[18:29] Emi**
Superior Realize!
**[18:37] Kai**
Destiny has reached the crossroads!
**[18:41] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord "The X"!
**[18:45] Kourin**
Dragonic Overlord...
**[18:47] Suiko**
..."The X"?!
**[18:55] Kai**
A ray of light reaching out
through the despair of oblivion!
**[18:59] Kai**
The bond known as courage
that connects us in the darkness!
**[19:04] Ibuki**
What?!
**[19:06] Kourin**
I-It can't be!
**[19:08] Kourin**
Two Overlords, side by side?!
**[19:22] Kai**
With these flames,
I reduce your past mistakes to ashes!
**[19:27] Kai**
Our paths have crossed once more!
**[19:34] Ibuki (M)**
It's burning away,
the hatred and rage inside me...
**[19:39] Ibuki (M)**
Are these the ultimate flames?
**[19:51] Young Kai**
Ibuki, let's play Vanguard together!
**[20:01] Ibuki**
People can start over again.
And so can we, as a trio once more...
**[20:18] Suiko**
Ibuki!
**[20:19] Kai**
Are you all right? Try getting up.
**[20:22] Ibuki**
What am I doing here?
**[20:26] Suiko**
Thank goodness.
**[20:27] Suiko**
Oh, thank--
**[20:29] Shuka**
Bukki!
**[20:30] Emi**
You really are back!
**[20:32] Shuka**
Don't scare us like that!
**[20:33] Ibuki**
I'm back? What are you talking about?
**[20:36] Kai**
You okay?
**[20:38] Suiko**
Yes.
**[20:39] Suiko**
Let's head back,
**[20:41] Suiko**
to our own world.
**[20:46] Morikawa**
Hey, Miwa!
***SIGN*** Vanguard Koshien
**[20:48] Miwa**
Huh? Morikawa?
**[20:50] Morikawa**
How long were you gonna nap?
**[20:52] Morikawa**
We've got a strategy session to begin.
**[20:55] Miwa**
A strategy session? For what?
***SIGN*** Aim for victory! Vanguard Koshien Strategy Session
**[20:58] Morikawa**
For the Vanguard Koshien, duh!
***SIGN*** Milk
**[21:01] Miwa**
Oh right... guess I spaced on that.
**[21:04] Inenaga**
But Kai's not here.
**[21:06] Morikawa**
That jerk...!
**[21:08] Morikawa**
He must've slipped away again!
**[21:10] Morikawa**
Just where did he go?!
**[21:17] Miwa**
Don't worry.
**[21:20] Miwa**
Knowing him, he'll be back soon.
**[22:58] Kourin**
You'll pay. You'll pay.
**[23:01] Kourin**
I swear you'll pay for this.
**[23:04] Kourin**
You'll suffer for all eternity
in the space-time continuum, Suiko.
**[23:13] Emi**
We're back!
**[23:16] Shuka**
Now that we're safe, I'm starving!
**[23:18] Kai**
I'll whip something up.
**[23:20] Kai**
Ibuki, you help too.
**[23:23] Ibuki**
Ask Suiko that, not me.
**[23:26] Kai**
Where is Suiko?
**[23:29] Emi**
She's not here?
**[23:30] Ibuki**
I know she came with us!
**[23:40] Shuka**
No way...

The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is
Kagero's Dragonic Overlord "The X"!
***SIGN*** Dragonic Overlord "The X"
**[23:53] Narrator**
If you put an "Overlord" unit
from your deck into the Soul,
**[23:55] Narrator**
this unit will get all of that unit's skills!
**[23:58] Narrator**
If you get Dragonic Overlord the End's skills,
**[24:01] Narrator**
you can combine them with "The X's" own skills
**[24:03] Narrator**
that make your hand count as zero cards
and prevent its drive from being zero or less,
**[24:07] Narrator**
letting you do three mega-powerful
Vanguard attacks in a row!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Suiko**
My name is Suiko.
**[24:17] Suiko**
Once I was an ordinary high school student,
attending Fukuhara High...
**[24:21] Suiko**
...enduring those boring days,
with my head in the clouds.
**[24:26] Suiko**
But the moment I got swallowed up
by the Akashic Book on that day...
**[24:30] Suiko**
...my destiny changed forever.
**[24:33] Suiko**
The same town, the same card shops,
the same public parks...
**[24:39] Suiko**
But something is different.

**[00:17] Suiko (N)**
My name is Suiko Tatsunagi.
**[00:20] Suiko (N)**
Guided by the Akashic Book,
I've been on a journey to...
**[00:26] Suiko (N)**
A journey to...
**[00:32] Suiko (N)**
What was I doing again?
**[00:53] Rekka**
My name is Su Tatsunagi.
**[00:56] Rekka**
People see me as just an idol,
**[00:57] Rekka**
but in reality...
**[00:59] Suiko**
Rekka?
**[01:00] Suiko**
Where have you been all this time?
**[01:02] Rekka**
I've been here all along.
**[01:04] Rekka**
With you.
***SIGN*** Emergency
**[01:08] Kourin**
We've got a Vanguard monster
in the city, B district!
**[01:11] Suiko**
Kourin? What's this about Vanguard?
**[01:16] Kourin**
Tatsunagi Rangers ULTRARARE, let's move out!
**[01:19] Rekka**
Come on, Su!
**[01:21] Kourin**
Let's scramble!
**[01:22] Suiko**
Wait, what are we doing?!
**[01:25] Suiko**
When did we start this line of work?!
**[01:36] Monster**
You'll become Vanguard monsters, too!
**[01:39] Kid**
No! I don't wanna do Vanguard!
**[01:43] Rekka**
Halt!
**[01:46] Suiko**
Um, what's going on here?
**[01:48] Rekka**
That thing is trying to hook kids on Vanguard
so they'll become Vanguard monsters, too!
**[01:54] Suiko**
That doesn't actually happen...
**[01:56] Monster**
You were on to me?!
**[01:58] Suiko**
You were right?!
**[02:00] Monster**
You blasted Tatsunagi Rangers turn up
yet again?! You never learn your lesson!
**[02:04] Monster**
This is the day I defeat you for good!
**[02:07] Rekka**
Let's go, everyone!
**[02:08] Kourin**
Yeah!
**[02:08] Suiko**
Y-Yeah...
**[02:10] The Two**
Rare, stand up!
**[02:18] Rekka**
Rare Red!
**[02:19] Kourin**
Rare Yellow!
**[02:22] Suiko**
R-Rare Blue... I guess... maybe...
**[02:28] The Two**
Together, the three of us are
the Tatsunagi Rangers ULTRARARE!
**[02:33] Monster**
Take this! Vanguard Blossom Shower!
**[02:40] Suiko**
Don't waste cards like that!
**[02:42] Kourin**
Blue! Look out!
**[02:49] Suiko**
Kourin...
**[02:50] Kourin**
It's Rare Yellow.
**[02:53] Suiko**
So, how long have we been
doing this... ranger thing?
**[02:59] Kourin**
Come to your senses, Suiko.
**[03:02] Kourin**
We have to defeat the Vanguard Empire,
which is trying to control the world
**[03:06] Kourin**
with the power of Vanguard...
**[03:11] Rekka**
Jeez, you two were lying down
on the job, so I beat it all by myself.
**[03:16] Kourin**
Oh, sorry.
**[03:20] Suiko**
Ibuki...
**[03:23] Kourin**
The enemy creeps into the minds of young people
who play Vanguard well into adulthood,
**[03:28] Kourin**
turning them into monsters.
**[03:32] Suiko**
That can't be.
**[03:34] Rekka**
Su?
**[03:38] Suiko**
Ibuki disappeared... and I finally found him.
**[03:42] Suiko**
He'd been locked up inside his past sins.
**[03:55] Suiko**
You're the one...
**[03:58] Suiko**
...who did that to him, Kourin.
**[04:01] Kourin**
Why can't you understand, Suiko?
**[04:05] Suiko**
Kourin, this world was your...
**[04:08] Kourin**
I made it for you guys.
**[04:11] Kourin**
But you ruined it.
**[04:31] Rekka**
Huh? It looks like Su is so nervous about
our first concert that her mind went blank.
**[04:43] Rekka**
Here comes ULTRARARE!
***SIGN*** if 21
Sentinel of Fate
**[06:30] Kourin**
What's wrong, Suiko?
**[06:34] Suiko**
Sorry.
**[06:35] Kourin**
The fans thought it was funny,
so no problem, but...
**[06:37] Rekka**
I guess stage fright can happen,
even after rehearsing as much as you did.
**[06:42] Suiko**
Rehearsing? Me?
**[06:44] Rekka**
We promised each other
we'd stand on that stage as a trio.
**[06:49] Kourin**
Let's keep working at it.
**[06:53] Suiko**
We are idols, aren't we?
**[06:56] Rekka**
No, silly!
**[06:58] Rekka**
ULTRARARE is a girls rock band!
**[07:02] Suiko**
As far as I know, we, the Tatsunagi family,
**[07:05] Suiko**
became Vanguard idols to watch over
the destiny of the planets Cray and Earth.
**[07:13] Kourin**
What are you talking about?
**[07:15] Rekka**
We promised each other we'd stand--
**[07:17] Suiko**
You said that already!
**[07:19] Suiko**
Kourin!
**[07:25] Kourin**
What? Why so serious?
**[07:28] Suiko**
Is this yet another world?
**[07:30] Kourin**
Come again?
**[07:32] Suiko**
I've seen many worlds already.
**[07:36] Suiko**
I thought that when Shuka got Blaster Blade,
**[07:39] Suiko**
it created a chain of distortions,
giving rise to distorted worlds.
**[07:45] Suiko**
But on every world, there were Jammers
aggressively trying to distort the world.
**[07:51] Suiko**
What if all of them were--
**[07:53] Kourin**
Oh please, like I have that kind of power.
**[07:56] Suiko**
But...
**[07:57] Kourin**
Just accept this world.
**[08:00] Kourin**
Or if you don't like it, I'll keep creating
new ones until you find one that you like.
**[08:08] Kourin**
There must be some world
the three of us can enjoy together.
**[08:14] Suiko**
Why can't we go back to our original world?!
**[08:16] Suiko**
We had fun there!
**[08:17] Kourin**
We can't. We can never go back.
**[08:23] Suiko**
Kourin...
**[08:31] Emi**
We can't find Suiko anywhere.
**[08:35] Miwa**
Heya! Huh?
**[08:38] Ibuki**
What's going on here?! Why is she
the only one who didn't come back?!
**[08:42] Miwa**
Don't get hot under the collar.
I'm the Suiko fan here, remember?
**[08:46] Ibuki**
This ish't about a fan club!
**[08:49] Shuka**
Maybe...
**[08:51] Miwa**
Yeah...
**[08:52] Miwa**
That could be it.
**[08:55] Miwa**
Until just the other day, SK4 consisted of
four people who protected that place.
**[09:01] Miwa**
But one by one, they recovered
their true memories, leaving Kourin all alone.
**[09:10] Kai**
So she needs new SK4 members?
**[09:13] Miwa**
Like how she turned Ibuki into Silver Juggler.
**[09:17] Emi**
We have to hurry and rescue Suiko!
**[09:20] Miwa**
But us two can't get into Sanctuary
since we lost our SK4 powers.
**[09:27] Ren**
Sounds like this is my cue.
**[09:31] Emi**
Mask, the Dark!
**[09:33] Miwa**
Long time no see! Do I get to say that, Ren?
**[09:36] Ren**
Huh? It seems you've gotten
your correct memories back, too.
**[09:41] Ibuki**
Where have you been all this time?
**[09:43] Ren**
After parting ways with you guys,
I went around to all the worlds once more.
**[09:49] Ren**
But I found there's no way to
straighten out the first mistake.
**[09:54] Shuka**
We went back to where it all began
a bunch of times, too.
**[09:57] Ren**
Have you figured out who built that wall?
**[10:01] Emi**
It wasn't Aichi?
**[10:02] Ren**
Aichi just believes that if he never
encounters Vanguard, Kai will be happy.
**[10:08] Kai**
Then who...?
**[10:10] Ren**
I believe...
***SIGN*** Miyaji Academy, High School Division
**[10:12] Ren**
...we've found the answer to that.
***SIGN*** Cardfight Club
***SIGN*** Monthly Vanguard Gold Paladin Special Collection!!
**[10:31] Kourin**
Then you're a complete beginner
with Vanguard, huh?
**[10:35] Suiko**
Y-Yes. At least I think so.
**[10:39] Kourin**
Then imagine.
**[10:41] Suiko**
Imagine what?
**[10:42] Kourin**
That our astral bodies have
appeared on the planet Cray.
**[10:45] Suiko**
"Astral bodies"?
**[10:50] Kourin**
Just yanking your chain.
**[10:56] Rekka**
You're mean, Kou.
**[10:59] Kourin**
Sorry.
**[11:01] Kourin**
This may be the Cardfight Club,
but we don't actually do cardfights.
**[11:04] Kourin**
So the planet Cray and Vanguard
have nothing to do with us.
**[11:17] Rekka**
It's not uncommon for clubs to be
an excuse to eat and chat about anime.
**[11:22] Rekka**
Actually...
**[11:24] Rekka**
...aren't you just here for our captain, too?
**[11:26] Suiko**
Your captain?
**[11:35] Aichi**
Hi there.
**[11:36] Aichi**
You're still here, huh?
**[11:37] Kourin**
Captain Aichi, she wants to join the club.
**[11:41] Aichi**
I bet you're surprised.
**[11:43] Aichi**
It's a Cardfight Club where
the members don't play cards...
**[11:46] Suiko**
But why not?
**[11:47] Aichi**
Vanguard ruins people's lives.
**[11:51] Aichi**
I want to negate tragedies
that happen because of Vanguard.
**[11:56] Aichi**
Please fill her in, you two.
**[11:59] Aichi**
See you.
**[12:06] Rekka**
Isn't our captain so cool?
**[12:09] Rekka**
But don't even think about stealing him.
**[12:11] Rekka**
All of us members protect Aichi.
**[12:14] Rekka**
That's one of the rules of the Cardfight Club.
**[12:17] Suiko**
To protect him?
**[12:18] Kourin**
All of us, forever...
**[12:22] Kourin**
That is our duty.
**[12:35] Suiko**
I knew something was strange.
**[12:37] Rekka**
You're still saying that?
**[12:39] Suiko**
Don't you remember, Rekka?!
**[12:41] Rekka**
Pretty casual of you,
considering we just met.
**[12:44] Suiko**
You and I have never been
students at Miyaji Academy.
**[12:48] Suiko**
You shouldn't even be in high school yet!
**[12:51] Rekka**
Just because I'm short? How rude!
**[12:55] Suiko**
First Kourin and Takuto, then you and Ren,
went on a journey to search for distortions.
**[13:01] Suiko**
Come on, remember!
**[13:06] Rekka**
A school uniform really is a stretch for you.
**[13:10] Suiko**
Why say that at a time like this?
**[13:12] Suiko**
Wait, Rekka...
**[13:14] Suiko**
So then you do...
**[13:15] Rekka**
Only Kourin was a student at Miyaji Academy.
**[13:19] Suiko**
The Akashic Book said so.
**[13:22] Suiko**
Kourin was in the same club as Aichi
and the others at Miyaji Academy.
**[13:28] Suiko**
Rekka, you had the Akashic Book, too?
**[13:36] Rekka**
The Akashic Book is the sole truth that exists
above and beyond absolute time coordinates.
**[13:42] Rekka**
Nome gave us temporary rights to access it.
**[13:47] Suiko**
Naturally, Kourin read the Akashic Book, too.
**[13:51] Suiko**
I see. That's how she knew about
Ibuki's past sins to persecute him for them.
**[13:58] Suiko**
Rekka... How did you...?
**[14:01] Rekka**
I'm Rekka, remember?
**[14:03] Rekka**
But the girls band and all were so much fun
that I nearly considered staying there.
**[14:08] Suiko**
Okay. I know what Kourin's trying to do.
**[14:12] Rekka**
But we're not strong enough to stop her yet.
**[14:15] Rekka**
That's why I've just been playing along
with my role in this world.
**[14:20] Rekka**
And also...
**[14:30] Suiko (N)**
My name is Suiko Tatsunagi.
**[14:32] Suiko (N)**
Guided by the Akashic Book, I used to
journey to correct the world's distortions.
**[14:38] Suiko (N)**
But now, I am...
**[14:44] Suiko**
Aichi's protector, a Sanctuary Knight. SK4's...
**[14:51] Rekka**
...Blue Storm.
**[14:53] Suiko**
That's my name now.
**[14:55] Suiko**
And you are...
**[14:57] Rekka**
...Red Tempest.
**[15:00] Kourin**
Red Tempest. Blue Storm.
**[15:03] The Two**
Yes, Yellow Typhoon.
**[15:05] Kourin**
Oh, good. Now the three of us are together.
**[15:09] Kourin**
I needed your help.
**[15:11] Kourin**
That's why I made you forget
any unnecessary memories.
**[15:15] Kourin**
You probably don't know what I'm talking about,
but from here on in, as members of SK4...
**[15:20] Rekka**
That's right. We're SK4.
**[15:23] Suiko**
We used to lack powers like Emi and Shuka have.
**[15:26] Rekka**
But as members of SK4, that's a different story.
**[15:31] Kourin**
So you refuse to forget.
**[15:33] Kourin**
Even though it was all a mistake...
**[15:36] Rekka**
You're the one who's mistaken, Kourin!
**[15:39] Rekka**
White Lily Musketeer, Cecilia!
**[15:41] Rekka**
Love-love-ba-boom!
**[15:43] Kourin**
I'll make you forget as many times as I need to!
**[15:52] Kourin**
Newbies just aren't strong enough--
**[15:54] Rekka**
Su!
**[15:56] Kourin**
The Akashic Book?!
**[16:16] Rekka**
Ren, the plan worked!
**[16:18] Ren**
Yep. And you look lovely in that cosplay outfit.
**[16:20] Rekka**
It's not cosplay!
**[16:22] Ren**
Ow!
**[16:23] Kourin**
Just changing the location won't...
**[16:25] Emi**
It's more than just changing the stage!
**[16:29] Shuka**
This is where we tag in!
**[16:32] Kourin**
Go, my Gold Paladin warriors!
**[16:37] Shuka**
Gold for Gold! Have we got a surprise for you!
**[16:41] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[16:43] Kourin**
Steal that card!
**[16:49] Kourin**
The units are afraid of that card?
**[16:56] Kourin**
Sunrise Ray Knight, Gurguit...
**[16:59] Kourin**
So that's why my units hesitate to attack...
**[17:13] Miwa**
Kourin has become Incandescent Lion, Blond Ezel!
**[17:16] Miwa**
Even a guy's form looks great on her!
**[17:18] Ibuki**
Two Gold Paladin grade 3 units...
**[17:33] Emi**
Gurguit!
**[17:34] Kai**
He can't do it alone!
**[17:35] Kai**
Emi, give me a card, too!
**[17:37] Suiko**
Wait!
**[17:40] Suiko**
We're connected by a bond
even greater than sisterhood.
**[17:44] Suiko**
So I'll finish this.
**[17:47] Kourin**
You intend to transform, as well?
**[17:50] Kourin**
It won't matter--
**[17:53] Kourin**
Th-That's...
**[18:02] Miwa**
King of Knights, Alfred?!
**[18:04] Ibuki**
But Suiko's clan is Angel Feather!
**[18:06] Ibuki**
Besides, that's...
**[18:13] Kourin**
That's fighting dirty!
**[18:15] Kourin**
Dressing up as one of Aichi's favorite units...
**[18:18] Kourin**
I'll never forgive you!
**[18:19] Suiko**
It's true that I've never used
Alfred before, but this is my card!
**[18:29] Suiko**
I didn't realize that myself...
**[18:32] Suiko**
...until I read it in the Akashic Book.
**[18:35] Suiko**
I can feel the strong bond
in this card right now.
**[18:38] Suiko**
Between me and Aichi...
**[18:41] Suiko**
...and also with you, Kourin.
**[18:45] Suiko**
At some time, in some place,
we entrusted Aichi with this card.
**[18:50] Suiko**
That's why I had to take on this form
for the final battle with you.
**[18:55] Kourin**
That's yet another mistaken memory.
**[18:58] Suiko**
Meeting Aichi, spending
precious time together...
**[19:04] Suiko**
We'd forgotten it all at one point.
**[19:07] Suiko**
It was lost forever.
**[19:09] Suiko**
That's what we learned from the Akashic Book.
**[19:17] Suiko**
That lost time...
**[19:19] Suiko**
No matter how much you wished,
you couldn't get it back.
**[19:22] Kourin**
But I remembered.
**[19:24] Kourin**
And this time, I don't want to lose it.
**[19:26] Suiko**
And that's why you chose the side
of Aichi and the Sanctuary.
**[19:31] Kourin**
No! I just thought it was the right thing to do!
**[19:34] Kourin**
As a Tatsunagi--
**[19:35] Suiko**
Really?
**[19:39] Suiko**
To have Aichi shut himself away
and reject Vanguard, in every world?
**[19:43] Suiko**
That's the right thing to do?
**[19:47] Kourin**
But...
**[20:00] Kourin**
I don't want to forget it...
**[20:02] Kourin**
Not again...
**[20:34] Suiko**
We forget things and we lose things.
**[20:38] Suiko**
But even so, we move forward.
**[20:41] Kourin**
Suiko...
**[20:44] Suiko**
We move forward...
**[20:46] Suiko**
And in exchange for what's lost or gone away,
we gain so many new things.
**[20:52] Suiko**
That holds true for you and Aichi, too.
**[21:22] Emi**
This is the day we make sure
that young Kai meets Aichi!
**[21:27] Kai**
Right! And I'll give Aichi Blaster Blade!
**[21:31] Ibuki**
So we'll have to stop Shuka.
**[21:33] Ibuki**
Maybe even wallop her...
**[21:34] Shuka**
Don't wallop me!
**[21:36] Suiko**
Kourin has lost the power of SK4,
so that protective wall should be gone.
**[21:41] Suiko**
Let's go, everyone!
**[21:43] The Four**
Yeah!
**[21:47] Ibuki**
It's still here!
**[21:51] Kourin**
It wasn't me...
**[21:54] Ren**
The place where it all began
is completely guarded.
**[21:58] Ren**
But who else would have that kind of power?
**[22:02] Kourin**
It's...

get +5000 power for each Accel circle!
**[24:02] Narrator**
When this unit attacks or is attacked,
**[24:03] Narrator**
you can look at the top five cards
of your deck and call up to two of them!
**[24:06] Narrator**
If it's your opponent's turn, you can
call them to the guardian circle to guard!
**[24:11] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Ibuki**
I'm sick of coming here.
**[24:18] Suiko**
By here, you mean where
it all began for Aichi and Kai?
**[24:21] Ibuki**
We keep seeing them when they were
little kids, over and over again...
**[24:23] Suiko**
A fated meeting that never happens.
It's kind of melodramatic, really.
**[24:26] Ibuki**
Maybe we should try giving
Blaster Blade to me at that age!
**[24:30] Suiko**
Then you'd be the main, "old guy"!
**[24:32] Ibuki**
"Old guy"?!
**[24:32] Suiko**
Say, I was thinking, what if Shuka
had never been there to mess things up?
**[24:37] Ibuki**
Why, you--
**[24:37] Suiko**
Coming next time on
*Cardfight!! Vanguard Extra Story -if-!*
**[24:40] Suiko**
Oh no! Is Shuka about to
fall into Ibuki's clutches?!
***SIGN*** if 22

Shush, that's too plausible!

**[00:01] Ibuki**
What's going on here?!
**[00:06] Emi**
It can't be!
**[00:07] Shuka**
It's Majesty Lord Blaster!
**[00:12] Shuka**
Why?! Why is Majesty Lord Blaster doing this?!
***SIGN*** if 22
The Fairy's Resolve
**[01:57] Kourin**
So the place where it all began is shielded off.
**[02:01] Suiko**
Yes.
**[02:02] Ibuki**
I wish you'd told me that just a bit sooner.
**[02:07] Suiko**
You don't have to take that tone with me!
**[02:10] Suiko**
Grow up already.
**[02:11] Ibuki**
Excuse me?!
**[02:13] Kai**
Okay, now...
**[02:15] Ibuki**
Hmph!
**[02:15] Rekka**
You've changed, Su.
**[02:19] Suiko**
Spending far too much time with someone
like this would drive anyone off the rails.
**[02:22] Ibuki**
That's my line!
**[02:24] Suiko**
Hmph!
**[02:25] Kai**
Maybe we should focus on
discussing what to do next.
**[02:29] Suiko**
You're right.
**[02:31] Kourin**
Sorry. Do you mind if
I just lie down for a little while?
**[02:35] Rekka**
You don't need to push yourself, Kou.
**[02:39] Kourin**
Okay. Thanks.
**[02:48] Shuka**
That looks yummy!
**[02:53] Shuka**
Ta-daaa!
**[02:56] The Two**
Heart!
**[02:57] Barista**
Here you go.
**[03:04] Shuka**
Chewilicious!
**[03:07] Emi**
I'll miss these shops along the river...
**[03:12] Shuka**
Me, too. Oh, let's visit that one shop tomorrow!
**[03:19] Shuka**
I'd assumed that once SK4 was gone,
we'd be able to go to where it all began...
**[03:28] Emi**
Majesty Lord Blaster...
**[03:32] Emi**
It was a miracle.
**[03:34] Emi**
A card of miracles we were able
to Realize for the first time
**[03:37] Emi**
through the existence of
Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark.
**[03:41] Shuka**
Yeah.
**[03:42] Emi**
Why is that card preventing us from
getting to where it all began for Aichi?
**[03:50] Shuka**
Maybe it has something to do
with your big brother riding it that time.
**[03:56] Emi**
I see. So it's Aichi's fault.
**[03:58] Shuka**
No, I didn't mean it like that.
**[04:01] Shuka**
I think your brother's imagination
is more powerful than most people's.
**[04:06] Emi**
It never seemed that way to me.
**[04:09] Shuka**
That's probably because he hasn't
had any experience playing Vanguard here.
**[04:14] Shuka**
After all, Bukki said that in his world,
your brother is a great player.
**[04:20] Emi**
So he's said, but...
**[04:24] Emi**
Shuka, why did you want to Realize that card?
**[04:30] Shuka**
It's because that card was
the only one that didn't respond to me.
**[04:36] Shuka**
Realize!
**[04:39] Shuka (N)**
The other units had faint presences,
but at least they'd materialize for me.
**[04:41] Shuka**
Realize!
**[04:46] Shuka**
Realize! Realize!
**[04:50] Shuka (N)**
But it was as if that card was asleep.
**[04:53] Shuka**
Realize!
**[04:57] Shuka (N)**
It never gave me any kind of response.
**[05:01] Shuka (N)**
That's why I wished that it would, someday...
**[05:06] Emi**
That card is special to you, isn't it?
**[05:09] Shuka**
It's not particularly special.
**[05:12] Shuka**
All of the cards are precious.
**[05:15] Emi**
I guess among the cards themselves,
none of them are special.
**[05:21] Shuka**
Cards are always waiting in anticipation
for their abilities to be used.
**[05:31] Shuka (N)**
But it's different for the people who use cards.
**[05:39] Shuka (N)**
They get bored with cards they use too often,
or stop using ones that aren't popular anymore.
**[05:45] Shuka (N)**
It's partly a matter of
individual tastes, I'm sure,
**[05:48] Shuka (N)**
like whether a card is strong or weak,
or whether it looks cool or cute.
**[05:53] Shuka (N)**
Except none of that is the cards' fault.
**[05:59] Shuka (N)**
Even for the foil cards, their rarity alone
isn't enough to make them special.
**[06:07] Shuka**
All cards are equal.
**[06:09] Shuka**
Any significant differences between them...
**[06:13] Shuka**
...lie only in the viewpoints
of people who use them.
**[06:16] Emi**
Yeah. None of this is
Majesty Lord Blaster's fault.
**[06:20] Emi**
The blame...
**[06:24] Emi**
The blame lies with Aichi.
**[06:28] Shuka**
Emi, that's not what--
**[06:30] Shuka**
Emi!
**[06:31] Shuka**
Wait!
**[06:48] Emi**
Aichi...
**[06:50] Emi**
Where are you going?
**[06:53] Aichi**
I have to go somewhere to think.
**[07:00] Aichi**
Don't worry. I'll be back soon.
**[07:03] Aichi**
Wait here for me.
**[07:06] Emi**
Sure.
**[07:20] Takuto**
It appears Kourin has awakened as well.
**[07:23] Takuto**
History will soon be established
according to your preferences.
**[07:27] Takuto**
You rode Majesty Lord Blaster.
And through that, you used a special power.
**[07:34] Takuto**
The Majesty Lord Blaster card itself
became a shield to prevent any intervention.
**[07:42] Takuto**
You must have hated that,
needing to ride a Vanguard unit.
**[07:47] Takuto**
And yet you did so,
for the sake of a single person.
**[07:52] Aichi**
Hmph.
**[07:54] Takuto**
Now I realize what a mistake it was...
**[07:59] Takuto**
Coming to this world
and telling you everything...
**[08:17] Kourin**
Aichi...
**[08:24] Kourin**
You are Aichi Sendou?
**[08:28] Aichi**
I'm here, as promised.
**[08:32] Takuto**
The important thing is that
the letter was delivered.
**[08:36] Takuto**
But what a surprise!
**[08:38] Takuto**
You look so different.
**[08:41] Kourin**
It's because Aichi was never
introduced to Vanguard in this world.
**[08:46] Aichi**
Who are you? Why did you summon me here?
**[08:50] Takuto**
I'm Takuto Tatsunagi, of the Tatsunagi Group.
**[08:54] Takuto**
Well, though that status
does nothing for me here.
**[08:57] Aichi**
What does the Tatsunagi Group want with me?
**[09:00] Takuto**
I'm also an observer of history.
**[09:03] Takuto**
This time, an event occurred
of too great a magnitude to be ignored,
**[09:07] Takuto**
so I came to this world to confirm it.
**[09:11] Aichi**
To this world? To confirm what?
**[09:14] Takuto**
Perhaps it'd be easier to understand
if I called it a historical reorganization.
**[09:18] Takuto**
I don't expect you to understand this,
but the current you isn't the real you.
**[09:23] Aichi**
I'm not the real me?!
**[09:25] Takuto**
To be a bit more specific about it,
you haven't met Toshiki Kai.
**[09:34] Aichi**
Toshiki... Kai?
**[09:44] Aichi**
Him!
**[09:45] Aichi**
He's the one who...
who keeps appearing in my dreams!
**[09:49] Kourin**
Aichi!
**[09:51] Takuto**
Impressive. Even though history itself has
been re-formed, he still retains his memories.
**[09:57] Takuto**
That's right. The boy who keeps
appearing in your dreams is Toshiki Kai.
**[10:03] Aichi**
Toshiki... Kai...
**[10:06] Takuto**
By all rights, you should have received
a particular card from Toshiki Kai.
**[10:11] Takuto**
But that never happened in this world.
**[10:14] Takuto**
Could that be why his life
has changed so dramatically?
**[10:20] Takuto**
It's possible his life may be
much better off this way.
**[10:24] Kourin**
Takuto, that's going too far.
**[10:27] Takuto**
You're right. Sorry, Aichi.
**[10:29] Takuto**
I'm sure you--
**[10:30] Aichi**
Toshiki Kai!
**[10:32] Aichi**
His presence fills my mind!
**[10:35] Aichi**
It's all spilling out!
**[10:41] Kourin**
What's happening?!
**[11:05] Takuto**
The shackles on his imagination
have fallen away?!
**[11:10] Aichi**
Long time no see, Kourin.
**[11:17] Takuto**
Kourin!
**[11:22] Aichi**
I'd like you to tell me more.
**[11:30] Emi**
He forgot this.
**[11:34] Emi**
It's cold out!
**[11:35] Emi**
Is Aichi okay?
**[11:42] Emi**
Was that building there before?
**[11:59] Takuto**
You were a strong young man in that world.
**[12:04] Takuto**
That's why I told you everything.
**[12:07] Takuto**
There you had the strength to accept everything
and share the fruits of that with many others.
**[12:13] Takuto**
Your strength encouraged so many people
and helped get them back on their feet.
**[12:20] Takuto**
Myself included.
**[12:24] Takuto**
But you never did obtain Vanguard here.
**[12:28] Takuto**
Because of that, the power of
your imagination grew overwhelmingly
**[12:34] Takuto**
and built this special space, Sanctuary.
**[12:38] Takuto**
The next thing on your agenda
was erasing Vanguard from this world.
**[12:45] Takuto**
Why does this version of you
only support one person?
**[12:50] Takuto**
Why do you only pursue
happiness for that person?
**[12:53] Aichi**
Silence.
**[12:53] Takuto**
Are you certain you're on the right path here?
**[12:57] Takuto**
Even if that person would be
slightly less happy than they could be--
**[13:00] Aichi**
Quiet. Shut your mouth!
**[13:02] Aichi**
Those are the words used by people
for whom everything works out!
**[13:05] Aichi**
I've never gained anything,
and nothing has ever worked out for me.
**[13:09] Takuto**
Really?
**[13:10] Aichi**
But if I have nothing to do with Vanguard,
at least one person in this world will be happy.
**[13:16] Aichi**
That will be my one success.
**[13:18] Aichi**
And that's why I will eliminate
anyone who interferes.
**[13:23] Takuto**
But that history is a sham.
**[13:25] Takuto**
It's distorted.
**[13:26] Aichi**
As if I would believe that!
**[13:29] Takuto**
Even though that distortion might
cause unhappiness for so many others?!
**[13:35] Kai**
You must be cooking up a feast tonight, Mom.
**[13:36] Aichi**
I don't care about their unhappiness.
**[13:37] Mom**
You need to be at your best tomorrow, Toshiki.
**[13:38] Aichi**
I don't even want to see it.
**[13:40] Aichi**
But after you told me everything,
I went to confirm it.
**[13:40] Kai**
Aw, come on, Mom.
**[13:42] Kai**
We've got an awesome team.
**[13:44] Kai**
You can bet we'll win!
**[13:46] Mom**
I can't wait to see you in action, Toshiki.
**[13:50] Aichi (M)**
I want him to be happy.
**[13:52] Aichi (M)**
I can't let their happiness be destroyed.
**[13:57] Aichi (M)**
Even if this world isn't real,
at least I'm the only one that has to suffer.
**[14:05] Aichi**
It's all is on the verge of completion.
**[14:08] Aichi**
Just the way I want it.
**[14:10] Takuto**
I wouldn't know about history
going the way you want it.
**[14:13] Aichi**
When someone states something
forcefully enough, it becomes history.
**[14:17] Aichi**
No matter if it's true or false.
**[14:19] Takuto**
I wonder if Toshiki Kai would agree with you.
**[14:23] Aichi**
I don't need his approval. I don't care
whether he understands my reasoning.
**[14:27] Aichi**
If I guide history the way
I want it to go, he can be happy.
**[14:32] Aichi**
That's all that matters.
**[14:43] Takuto**
Then why bother telling me this?
**[14:48] Takuto**
That being said, we're almost out of time.
**[14:50] Takuto**
Kourin, the rest is up to you.
**[14:59] Rekka**
Morning.
**[15:02] Rekka**
What's wrong?
**[15:03] Suiko**
Kourin!
**[15:04] Kai**
What is it?
**[15:06] Rekka**
What, Kou?
**[15:08] Kourin**
He's...
**[15:10] Suiko**
Aichi Sendou...?
**[15:13] Suiko**
And Takuto?
**[15:16] Ibuki**
What's she saying?
**[15:17] Suiko**
Hold on.
**[15:23] Ibuki**
What did she tell you?
**[15:25] Suiko**
It seems she got a message from Takuto.
**[15:27] Ibuki**
Takuto? The spoiled rich kid
of the Tatsunagi Group?
**[15:31] Ibuki**
How could she hear Takuto's voice from here?
**[15:34] Rekka**
I guess you'd call it channeling?
We have a special bond with Takuto.
**[15:39] Rekka**
He can send us messages that way.
**[15:43] Ren**
So it's like toll-free service?
**[15:45] Rekka**
That's not the point!
**[15:47] Suiko**
Apparently Aichi has made his move.
**[15:50] Suiko**
He intends to completely seal off
the place where it all began.
**[15:53] Ibuki**
Darn it! And we haven't found
a single thing we can do about it yet!
**[15:58] Rekka**
That's bad news.
**[16:00] Kai**
What happened to the two magical girls?
**[16:03] Ren**
They said they were going out for boba drinks.
**[16:06] Ibuki**
I'm glad those magical girls can be
so happy-go-lucky at a time like this.
**[16:11] Suiko**
I'll try calling them.
**[16:13] Ibuki**
Please do.
**[16:17] Ibuki**
Where did they go?
**[16:30] Shuka**
I figured you'd be here.
**[16:32] Shuka**
Mind if I sit here?
**[16:40] Shuka**
I'm sorry, Emi.
**[16:43] Emi**
Don't be. It's not your fault, Shuka.
**[16:54] Emi**
Shuka...
**[16:56] Shuka**
Y-Yes?!
**[16:57] Emi**
Listen...
**[17:01] Emi**
I give up. I give up on Aichi.
**[17:06] Shuka**
Emi!
**[17:07] Emi**
Everybody keeps saying that
this Aichi isn't really Aichi...
**[17:11] Emi**
...but this Aichi is still Aichi.
**[17:14] Emi**
He left home and shut himself away
in there by his own will...
**[17:18] Emi**
Is returning Aichi to his true form
really the right thing to do,
**[17:21] Emi**
even if it means changing Kai's fate?
**[17:27] Emi**
None of you should have to
work so hard for our sake anymore.
**[17:32] Shuka**
But then...
**[17:34] Shuka**
Emi, you've given form to so many units!
**[17:38] Shuka**
You've made my wish come true!
**[17:41] Shuka**
So I have to make your wish come true, too!
**[17:45] Emi**
But there's no way to do it.
**[17:47] Emi**
What I wished for is
a dream that can't come true.
**[17:53] Shuka**
As long as the Majesty Lord Blaster card
blocks that path, a miracle won't happen.
**[18:00] Emi**
Yeah.
**[18:03] Emi**
That's why I'm giving up.
**[18:07] Shuka**
Emi...
**[18:13] Emi**
I'm tired from all this walking.
**[18:17] Emi**
Let's go back to the mansion.
**[18:25] Emi**
Shuka. Thank you for everything.
**[18:28] Emi**
Maybe the bond that we created
with Vanguard will vanish,
**[18:33] Emi**
but when I think how that may be best
for this world, it makes me feel better.
**[18:48] Shuka (M)**
A bond created with Vanguard...
**[18:53] Shuka**
That's it...
**[18:56] Shuka**
Emi, don't give up yet!
**[18:59] Shuka**
There's something I want to try!
**[19:05] Shuka**
We may be able to break through
that card of miracles!
**[19:09] Suiko**
Really, Shuka?!
**[19:10] Ibuki**
Seriously?! There's something we can do?!
**[19:13] Ibuki**
Tell us soon--
**[19:15] Ibuki**
So, how do we get through?
**[19:18] Shuka**
By borrowing the powers of
Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark.
**[19:22] Ibuki**
That's it?
**[19:24] Kourin**
Yes. That's also what Takuto told me.
**[19:27] Suiko**
Kourin!
**[19:29] Kourin**
He said if we used the swords of
Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark simultaneously,
**[19:33] Kourin**
we could demolish the shield
around the place where it all began.
**[19:36] Kai**
Sounds like you're on the same wavelength.
**[19:38] Ibuki**
Yeah. We've found our method.
**[19:45] Shuka**
Majesty Lord Blaster is a unit
that materializes via use of these two cards.
**[19:51] Ren**
Then the help of those two cards is
essential for breaking through that shield.
**[19:57] Suiko**
Yes.
**[20:00] Ibuki**
Well, no time like the present.
**[20:02] Ibuki**
Let's go to where it all began!
**[20:05] Emi**
Shuka, we'll be able to go where it all began!
**[20:08] Emi**
And then we'll give Blaster Blade to Kai...
**[20:11] Shuka**
Right! And all the distortions will disappear!
**[20:15] Emi**
And Aichi will come home!
**[20:17] Shuka**
Yeah!
**[20:18] Emi**
Suiko!
**[20:20] Suiko**
Yes. Isn't that great, Emi?
**[20:23] Emi**
Yep!
**[20:33] Emi**
Magical Girl Emi!
**[20:36] Shuka**
Card Fairy Shuka!
**[20:42] The Two**
Together, we're still the Blaster Pair!
**[20:49] Ren**
I am Blaster Dark.
**[20:51] Kai**
And I'm Blaster Blade?
**[20:54] Shuka**
Yes!
**[20:56] Ibuki**
They don't seem much different from usual...
**[20:59] Ibuki**
Is this really going to work?
**[21:02] Shuka**
Don't worry!
**[21:04] Ibuki**
All right.
**[21:05] Ibuki**
That said, it doesn't seem like
there's anything for me to do here.
**[21:09] Ibuki**
I don't see us needing to do any Cardfighting.
**[21:12] Shuka**
Ibuki.
**[21:16] Ibuki**
Yeah?
**[21:17] Shuka**
Protect Suiko...
**[21:19] Shuka**
I mean, protect everyone to the end.
**[21:24] Ibuki**
I'm useless in a real fight, though.
**[21:26] Ibuki**
Well, I'll do my best within my capabilities.
**[21:31] Shuka**
Good! That should be fine.
**[21:53] Ren**
You're sure about this?
**[21:55] Kai**
Yeah.
**[21:56] Ren**
All right, then.
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Genesis's
Mythic Beast, Fenrir!
***SIGN*** Mythic Beast, Fenrir

**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Ibuki**
We're about to break into
the place where it all began.
**[24:17] Ibuki**
Then Shuka just needs to give Blaster Blade
to young Kai, and all the distortions will...
**[24:22] Suiko**
Shuka...
**[24:23] Ibuki**
Why the long face?
**[24:24] Suiko**
Will this really work? She said this
would get us through the shield, but...
**[24:28] Ibuki**
Takuto said the same thing, so no prob--
**[24:31] Ibuki**
Why the sudden violence?!
**[24:32] Suiko**
You don't understand anything!
**[24:34] Suiko**
Shuka will...
**[24:36] Ibuki**
Did you already read the script
for next week's episode?!
**[24:38] Suiko**
No, that's not why!
**[24:39] Suiko**
Shuka's going to...
***SIGN*** if 23
A World Without You
**[24:40] Ibuki**
Going to what?!

**[00:00] Emi**
Majesty Lord Blaster...
**[00:04] Emi**
It was a miracle.
**[00:06] Emi**
A card of miracles we were able
to Realize for the first time
**[00:09] Emi**
through the existence of
Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark.
**[00:13] Shuka**
Yeah.
**[00:14] Emi**
Why is that card preventing us from
getting to where it all began for Aichi?
**[00:20] Takuto**
You rode Majesty Lord Blaster.
And through that, you used a special power.
**[00:27] Takuto**
The Majesty Lord Blaster card itself
became a shield to prevent any intervention.
**[00:35] Takuto**
You must have hated that,
needing to ride a Vanguard unit.
**[00:40] Takuto**
And yet you did so,
for the sake of a single person.
**[00:45] Shuka**
Emi, don't give up yet!
**[00:48] Shuka**
There's something I want to try!
**[00:51] Shuka**
We may be able to break through
that card of miracles!
**[00:55] Shuka**
By borrowing the powers of
Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark.
**[00:59] Ibuki**
That's it?
**[01:02] Kourin**
Yes. That's also what Takuto told me.
**[01:05] Suiko**
Kourin!
**[01:06] Kourin**
He said if we used the swords of
Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark simultaneously,
**[01:10] Kourin**
we could demolish the shield
around the place where it all began.
**[01:13] Kai**
Sounds like you're on the same wavelength.
**[01:16] Ibuki**
Yeah. We've found our method.
**[01:23] Emi**
Magical Girl Emi!
**[01:26] Shuka**
Card Fairy Shuka!
**[01:32] The Two**
Together, we're still the Blaster Pair!
**[01:51] Ren**
You're sure about this?
**[01:53] Kai**
Yeah.
**[01:54] Ren**
All right, then.
**[03:50] The Two**
The shield...!
**[03:51] Ren**
Here he comes.
**[03:57] Shuka**
Um, I'm...
**[04:01] Shuka**
There!
**[04:02] Shuka**
If I interact with my previous self,
that'll repel me from this time, right?
**[04:07] Ibuki**
In my experience.
**[04:09] Shuka**
Okay, here I go!
**[04:11] Kai**
I'm counting on you!
**[04:11] Suiko**
Be careful!

**[04:24] Miwa**
Aww, c'mon! Please?
**[04:26] Girl**
Forget it!
**[04:42] Miwa**
What is this feeling?
**[04:57] Naoki**
It feels like... somethin' really major...
**[05:01] Shingo**
...has happened somewhere?!
**[05:09] Miwa**
Just my imagination?
**[05:12] Naoki**
What the heck?
**[05:13] Shingo**
Let's get back to the fight!
**[05:22] Shuka**
What is this?!
**[05:23] Emi**
The shield... regenerated?
**[05:29] Suiko**
What?!
**[05:31] Shuka**
Why?
**[05:32] Shuka**
Why?!
**[05:37] Emi**
Shuka!
**[05:39] Shuka**
Oww...
**[05:58] Shuka**
No! Don't do it, Shuka!
**[06:01] Shuka**
Come back!
**[06:06] Emi**
Shuka...
**[06:08] Kai**
Kourin!
**[06:10] Kai**
You told us the swords of Blaster Blade and
Blaster Dark together could destroy the shield!
**[06:18] Aichi**
Shall I explain why?
**[06:30] Emi**
Aichi!
**[06:32] Aichi**
You people will never achieve your objective,
**[06:35] Aichi**
because I possess the Card of Miracle.
**[06:40] Aichi**
Majesty Lord Blaster.
**[06:43] Shuka**
Th-The magic warrior!
**[06:46] Kai**
What are you talking about?!
**[06:47] Aichi**
Kai...
**[06:50] Aichi**
You mustn't take that form.
**[06:54] Kai**
Answer my question, Aichi Sendou!
**[06:57] Aichi**
You leave me no choice.
This is for your own good, Kai.
**[07:05] Kourin/Rekka**
What is this?!
**[07:15] Kai**
That form!
**[07:18] Ren**
Majesty Lord Blaster!
**[07:23] Ibuki**
I was afraid something like this would happen.
**[07:26] Ibuki**
I suppose this means Aichi Sendou
has completely mastered Majesty's power.
**[07:32] Suiko**
That's how he can keep reforming
a shield over the place where it all began.
**[07:40] Kai**
Then I'll make it so you can no longer
use Majesty's power, Aichi Sendou!
**[07:46] Ren**
Wait, Kai!
**[08:01] Kai**
This is...
**[08:03] Aichi**
Kai, I have indeed completely mastered
the power of Majesty Lord Blaster.
**[08:20] Emi**
Aichi!
**[08:22] Aichi**
I don't want to harm Kai.
**[08:26] Aichi**
I just want him to return to his own time
and live happily ever after.
**[08:31] Aichi**
That's all.
**[08:33] Kai**
But I don't want that!
**[08:39] Kai**
Don't foist your imagination on me!
**[08:44] Aichi**
I... I don't need you to understand, Kai.
**[08:52] Aichi**
As long as you lead a happy life...
**[08:55] Aichi**
...that's all that matters.
**[09:00] Aichi**
You can watch from there.
**[09:02] Aichi**
Witness the end of the villains
who stand in the way of your happiness!
**[09:09] Ren**
In your dreams!
**[09:11] Ren**
Don't sell me short...
**[09:13] Ren**
...or else!
**[09:17] Ren**
Kai doesn't...
**[09:19] Ren**
...belong to you!
**[09:20] Aichi**
Shut up!
**[09:21] Aichi**
Shut up! Shut up!
**[09:23] Aichi**
Shut up!
**[09:25] Emi**
Shuka, we have to help Ren!
**[09:29] Rekka**
I'm supposed to be his partner, after all.
**[09:32] Rekka**
Give me the strength to fight, too!
**[09:37] Suiko/Kourin**
Us, too.
**[09:38] Kourin**
Please!
**[09:39] Ibuki**
Whoa.
**[09:41] Ibuki**
Don't forget about me.
**[09:44] Emi/Shuka**
Okay!
**[09:49] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[09:56] Emi**
Superior Realize!
**[10:04] Emi**
White Lily Musketeer, Cecilia!
**[10:06] Emi**
Incandescent Lion, Blond Ezel!
**[10:09] Emi**
Solidify Celestial, Zerachiel!
**[10:12] Ibuki**
Here I go!
**[10:17] Ibuki**
Harmonics Messiah!
**[10:22] Aichi**
You pests!
**[10:26] Ibuki**
Unlock!
**[10:30] Suiko**
Nice one, Ibuki!
**[10:31] Kourin**
Don't assume you can stop us that easily!
**[10:35] Aichi**
Silence them!
**[10:41] Kourin**
What?!
**[10:47] Ibuki**
Stand your ground!
**[10:55] Ren**
Looks like I can't afford to be
the only one hugging the ground here...
**[11:00] Aichi**
And what do you think
you can accomplish from there?!
**[11:05] Ren**
Kai! I'll set you free!
**[11:07] Kai**
Ren!
**[11:11] Ibuki**
Ren!
**[11:11] Emi/Shuka**
Ren!
**[11:17] Aichi**
I won't tolerate that.
**[11:19] Aichi**
Not from you or anyone who challenges me.
**[11:23] Aichi**
So I'll make you disappear.
**[11:26] Emi**
No! Aichi, don't!
**[11:30] Ren**
I guess being finished off by Aichi
isn't a bad way to go...
**[11:38] Emi**
Aichi, don't do it!
**[11:41] Emi**
Please stop!
**[11:43] Emi**
Aichi!
**[11:57] Emi**
Aichi!
**[11:59] Emi**
Aichi, please stop!
**[12:04] Aichi**
Tch!
**[12:07] Ren**
Oh yeah... I didn't want *this* Aichi
being the one to finish me off!
**[12:23] Ibuki**
Th-Those are...
**[12:26] Suiko**
They're units that have helped us before!
**[12:31] Emi**
It looks like the units also
want Aichi to go back to normal.
**[12:37] Shuka**
Yeah. You're right on the money, Emi.
**[12:46] Aichi**
Begone!
**[12:47] Aichi**
I'll make all of you vanish!
**[12:58] Aichi**
It's stuff like this...
having to do with Vanguard...
**[13:02] Aichi**
...which has made Kai's life miserable.
**[13:05] Aichi**
I'm going to create a world
where Vanguard no longer exists!
**[13:23] Kamui**
What the heck is this?!
**[13:24] Kamui**
The unit's disappearing from my card!
**[13:27] Morikawa**
Kamui! Yours, too?!
**[13:33] Kamui**
They're blank!
**[13:39] Naoki**
What's happenin'?!
**[13:43] Shuka**
Even these?!
**[13:50] Ren**
What's come over you, Aichi?
**[13:53] Aichi**
You expect me to suppress a smile right now?
**[13:56] Aichi**
Now, when Vanguard is
vanishing from every time period?!
**[14:04] Rekka**
Say what?
**[14:05] Suiko**
You can do that?!
**[14:07] Kourin**
Majesty Lord Blaster is a miracle card that
can put up a shield under special circumstances.
**[14:14] Kourin**
I'm not surprised that it can
perform another extraordinary feat.
**[14:21] Ibuki**
Shut it down! I won't let you
be so incredibly selfish!
**[14:28] Aichi**
There's nothing you can do about it.
**[14:31] Aichi**
I will protect Kai's happiness.
**[14:38] Shuka**
The cards...
**[14:40] Shuka**
I have to protect the cards!
**[14:43] Emi**
Shuka!
**[14:44] Shuka**
I... I have to...
**[14:48] Emi**
Shuka!
**[14:54] Aichi**
You're an eyesore! Begone!
**[15:00] Suiko**
Oh no, you don't!
**[15:01] Shuka**
Suiko!
**[15:03] Suiko**
I won't let you lay a finger on this girl!
**[15:08] Ibuki**
Suiko!
**[15:10] Ibuki**
You can't do it alone!
**[15:15] Rekka**
Ibuki!
**[15:16] Kourin**
Don't be foolhardy!
**[15:20] Ren**
Good grief, this is going badly.
**[15:23] Ibuki**
Shuka! Do you have any ideas?!
**[15:26] Shuka**
Yeah!
**[15:27] Aichi**
Out of my face, nuisances!
**[15:49] Aichi**
It's over.
**[15:51] Emi**
Aichi!
**[15:53] Shuka**
Emi!
**[15:55] Aichi**
Emi, doing that is dangerous.
**[15:57] Aichi**
Back off.
**[15:59] Emi**
Forget it, Aichi. I'm not moving.
**[16:04] Aichi**
Even you would try to stop me
from making Kai happy, Emi?
**[16:08] Emi**
Aichi, look at him!
**[16:10] Emi**
Do you really think Kai is happy right now?!
**[16:16] Aichi**
Get out of the way, Emi.
**[16:18] Emi**
No!
**[16:21] Aichi**
How unfortunate.
**[16:26] Ibuki**
No, don't!
**[16:32] Shuka**
This is the only way!
**[16:38] Emi**
Shuka!
**[16:39] Takuto**
Stop! If you do that, you'll...
**[17:05] Kai**
My Ride was... deactivated.
**[17:10] Emi**
Aichi!
**[17:16] Emi**
Aichi!
**[17:25] Emi**
Aichi!
**[17:35] Ibuki**
Why was only Sendou hurt by that?
**[17:38] Takuto**
Majesty Lord Blaster is a miracle card.
**[17:42] Takuto**
I suppose you could say that
riding it imposes a heavy burden.
**[17:49] Shuka**
Magic warrior...
**[17:53] Emi**
Shuka, you didn't have to burn it!
**[17:56] Shuka**
It's okay.
**[17:57] Shuka**
By burning that book,
I've released all of the cards.
**[18:02] Shuka**
But not for this world.
They're going somewhere else.
**[18:12] Emi**
The cards...
**[18:13] Shuka**
Goodbye...
**[18:15] Shuka**
Goodbye, all of you.
**[18:25] Shuka**
And now...
**[18:27] Shuka**
You just have to bring
your brother to his senses.
**[18:32] Shuka**
Clobber him with the staff.
**[18:35] Shuka**
That should make your brother
go back to the way he used to be.
**[18:39] Suiko**
As hard as you can, like I would.
**[18:41] Emi**
Understood.
**[18:48] Emi**
Sorry, Aichi!
**[18:55] Emi**
The staff...
**[18:57] Emi**
Shuka, I'm sorry!
**[18:58] Emi**
It's--Shuka!
**[19:02] Emi**
Shuka!
**[19:11] Shuka**
Emi, it looks like this is where we part ways.
**[19:17] Shuka**
My job as flower-picker involved hearing
the voices of the cards and gathering them.
**[19:24] Shuka**
That binder was essential to my work.
**[19:28] Shuka**
Without it, a flower-picker will surely...
**[19:32] Emi**
No! Don't go, Shuka!
**[19:35] Shuka**
Don't cry, Emi.
**[19:38] Shuka**
It's strange for you to cry when
you're getting your beloved brother back.
**[19:44] Shuka**
You too, Bukki and the rest,
don't look so sad.
**[19:48] Ibuki**
Don't call me that.
**[19:51] Shuka**
Aww, why not?
**[19:53] Shuka**
You and Bukki...
**[19:54] Ibuki**
Hey!
**[19:55] Shuka**
Get along with each other.
**[19:57] Suiko**
This isn't the time for that!
**[19:59] Suiko**
Besides...
**[20:01] Ibuki**
What?
**[20:02] Suiko**
We don't have that kind of relationship!
**[20:04] Ibuki**
Hey, you didn't need to spell it out!
**[20:07] Shuka**
Yeah, I know!
**[20:12] Shuka**
I'm sorry, Emi.
**[20:15] Emi**
Why are you apologizing?
**[20:18] Shuka**
After all, I dragged you into all this.
**[20:22] Emi**
No, you didn't drag me anywhere!
**[20:25] Emi**
I had fun being with you, Shuka.
**[20:30] Emi**
I'm so glad I met you!
**[20:37] Shuka**
Me, too.
**[20:40] Shuka**
But... I'm sorry we can't
go out together for boba anymore.
**[20:47] Shuka**
Thank you for everything, Emi.
**[20:52] Emi**
No! Don't say that!
**[20:59] Shuka**
Farewell...
**[21:04] Emi**
Shuka!

**[23:56] Narrator**
If three or more of your rear-guards
are at rest, discard a unit from your hand
**[24:00] Narrator**
and search for a grade 4 unit in your deck.
**[24:02] Narrator**
Ride that unit and it will gain

**[00:01] Rekka**
What about the disappearance of units
from Vanguard cards across the world?
**[00:07] Kourin**
Aichi is unconscious now,
so I'm sure that stopped.
**[00:12] Ren**
Let's test it out.
**[00:14] Ren**
We've all got decks, right?
**[00:22] Kai**
Nothing out of the ordinary.
**[00:31] Takuto**
I knew it. PSYqualia...
**[00:38] Rekka**
Did you hear that too, Su?
**[00:40] Kourin**
Takuto just said... "PSYqualia"?
**[00:43] Kai**
PSYqualia...
**[00:45] Kai**
That's a power bestowed
upon very few people,
**[00:47] Kai**
giving them a direct connection
to the planet Cray.
**[00:50] Ren**
I have that too, but I can't do this.
**[00:56] Takuto**
The Aichi of this world
never encountered Vanguard.
**[01:02] Takuto**
But a powerful PSYqualia ability
still lay dormant within him,
**[01:07] Takuto**
which is now manifesting in a different form.
**[01:10] Suiko**
It's a special power
that Aichi himself possesses...
**[01:16] Emi**
Aichi...
**[01:23] Ibuki**
What's so funny, Sendou?
**[01:25] Aichi**
Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark.
**[01:28] Aichi**
It seems they weren't just your average cards.
**[01:31] Ren**
You've never had any experience with Vanguard.
**[01:34] Ren**
Yet you know that?
**[01:38] Kai**
Those two units were the light
and darkness within your heart.
**[01:43] Aichi**
Ahh, I see. They kept interfering
with my plans, over and over...
**[01:56] Aichi**
So they were me all along?
**[01:59] Aichi**
But now they can't get in my way again.
**[02:02] Ibuki**
Is that why you set up the situation
so that Shuka would burn the binder?
**[02:06] Aichi**
A great idea, wasn't it?
**[02:09] Kai**
Even Majesty Lord Blaster disappeared!
**[02:12] Aichi**
That's fine. It's better this way, Kai.
**[02:15] Emi**
Aichi!
**[02:17] Aichi**
Emi, go home already.
**[02:21] Emi**
Shuka was my friend.
**[02:25] Emi**
Aichi!
**[02:30] Emi**
Aichi!
**[02:32] Rekka**
Emi...
**[02:34] Rekka**
Do something, young man!
**[02:36] Kai**
Like what?
**[02:39] Young Kai**
What's wrong, miss?
**[02:44] Emi**
I'll be fine. Thank you.
**[02:48] Suiko**
Wait a moment.
How is young Kai able to talk to Emi?
**[02:54] Suiko**
What happened to the shield?
**[02:55] Kourin**
Majesty disappeared,
**[02:57] Kourin**
so of course the shield it had produced
with its power is also gone.
**[03:02] Rekka**
Then we have a chance.
**[03:03] Rekka**
If we give Blaster Blade to kiddo Kai now,
the proper history will return!
**[03:09] Suiko**
But Blaster Blade is gone...

of Vanguards units disappearing.
**[05:11] MC**
Even the world championship in Singapore
has been thrown into chaos!
**[05:14] Kai**
So Vanguard is disappearing
in this time period as well.
**[05:18] Rekka**
Forget getting the world back to normal...
it's just getting worse and worse!
**[05:22] Kourin**
Let's rescue Takuto.
**[05:24] Kourin**
That's about all we can do.
**[05:27] Ren**
It's a slim hope, but...
**[05:30] Suiko**
Let's go.
**[05:32] Suiko**
Ibuki?
**[05:33] Ibuki**
As if we can win.
**[05:35] Ibuki**
Without Shuka or the Blaster Blade
and Blaster Dark cards...
**[05:39] Kai**
Well, that's...
**[05:40] Ibuki**
Who knows if she really was a card fairy,
but that girl foisted everything on us.
**[05:46] Ibuki**
What the heck are we supposed to do?
**[05:54] Suiko**
It doesn't matter if he's on board or not.
**[05:57] Suiko**
The rest of us can go.
**[05:59] Kourin**
Right. We'll head to Sanctuary.
**[06:02] Rekka**
You stay here, Emi.
**[06:03] Rekka**
It's still dangerous.
**[06:05] Rekka**
And you go after Ibuki, Su.
**[06:09] Ren**
Yeah. You may be the only one
who could bring Bukki back.
**[06:13] Kai**
You *were* unusually down.
**[06:15] Suiko**
W-Wait. Really, there's nothing between us!
**[06:19] Kourin**
Yes, we know.
**[06:20] Kourin**
But the two of you
traveled together for a long time.
**[06:23] Kourin**
You saw the same things and
fought with the same feelings.
**[06:27] Kourin**
It would be a pity if you forgot all that.
**[06:30] Rekka**
Right?
**[06:48] Eru**
What's wrong, magical girl?
**[06:50] Emi**
Naka... salami?
**[06:53] Eru**
More like Naka-swami.
**[06:55] Eru**
No, it's Eru Nakagami!
***SIGN*** Eru Nakagami
**[06:58] Emi**
You remembered me?
**[07:01] Eru**
I'm Evil-Eyed Eru, after all.
**[07:05] Emi**
But isn't your eye under there normal?
And you drew the marks on your arm.
**[07:09] Eru**
W-Well...
**[07:11] Eru**
It *was* real at one point!
**[07:13] Emi**
True.
**[07:15] Emi**
You remember that, too?
**[07:17] Emi**
Even though we wiped out the distortion...
**[07:20] Eru**
You people didn't wipe out anything.
**[07:22] Eru**
The many worlds... the possibilities...
**[07:25] Eru**
You can never truly erase them!
**[07:28] Emi**
I suppose...
**[07:29] Eru**
Finally, as this is your world,
**[07:32] Eru**
what you wished for will happen.
**[07:34] Eru**
And with that, I bid you adieu.
**[07:36] Emi**
This is my world?
**[07:44] Nome**
Vanguard is disappearing.
Was that destined, as well?
**[07:49] Suiko**
Ibuki!
**[07:51] Nome**
Hi, Suiko.
**[07:53] Nome**
You've been busy.
**[07:58] MC**
Units are vanishing from
Vanguard cards, but why?!
**[08:01] MC**
Vanguard cards aren't just ordinary cards.
**[08:04] MC**
We are connected to each unit.
**[08:07] MC**
By imagining a fusion between the units
and ourselves, we were able to become stronger!
**[08:11] MC**
And yet, and yet...!
**[08:14] Aichi**
"Imagining"?
**[08:15] Aichi**
That alone isn't enough to make humans happy.
**[08:19] Aichi**
You all understand, don't you?
**[08:25] Aichi**
You're going to disappear, too.
**[08:29] Aichi**
From this world, forever.
**[08:33] Boy**
Is this for real?!
**[08:34] Boy**
I don't believe it!
**[08:41] Aichi**
Wingal...
**[08:42] Aichi**
I don't know or care about Vanguard.
**[08:45] Aichi**
It should be simple for me
to obliterate all of you...
**[08:57] Ren**
Is he tormented by
the memories of his true self?
**[09:00] Kai**
Deep down, even he wishes
to return to his true self.
**[09:05] Kai**
So he'll suffer until that happens.
**[09:11] Aichi**
You know nothing about me.
**[09:13] Aichi**
And what can you do, without magic or cards?
**[09:20] Nome**
It appears you have intervened
in the circumstances of this world.
**[09:24] Suiko**
I know we acted contrary
to the Tatsunagi mission.
**[09:28] Suiko**
But Nome, should we have
just continued to observe,
**[09:32] Suiko**
even as Vanguard disappeared from this world?
**[09:36] Nome**
Due to the flower-picker, I have obtained a card
that should not exist within our time period.
**[09:42] Nome**
This is the root of all the chaos.
**[09:45] Suiko**
Majesty Lord Blaster.
**[09:47] Suiko**
What's it doing here?!
**[09:49] Nome**
I shall gather these and seal them away.
**[09:51] Nome**
That should put an end to the chaos.
**[09:53] Suiko**
That won't end it! Aichi is still--
**[09:56] Nome**
Only in this distorted world.
**[09:59] Nome**
Back in the proper world,
he's busy with his Cardfight Club.
**[10:04] Suiko**
But Emi and Shuka, even Kouji Ibuki,
journeyed with me for this purpose.
**[10:10] Suiko**
Please let us finish--
**[10:11] Nome**
Have you always been this disobedient?
**[10:29] Suiko**
Nome!
**[10:48] Shin**
So Blaster Blade, Blaster Dark, and...
**[10:52] Emi**
And Majesty Lord Blaster. Do you have them?
**[10:55] Shin**
"Majesty"? Did they release a card by that name?
**[10:59] Shin**
More importantly, don't you know about the
mysterious phenomenon happening with Vanguard?
**[11:05] Shin**
Right now, all of the cards are...
**[11:08] Emi**
I *need* those cards!
**[11:47] Kamui**
I think it's in here...
**[11:56] Ibuki**
What are you two doing?!
**[11:58] Nome**
Ibuki. Your duties are complete.
**[12:01] Nome**
Return to your original world.
**[12:02] Suiko**
No, not yet!
**[12:08] Ibuki**
That's...
**[12:10] Ibuki**
...Majesty Lord Blaster!
**[12:14] Suiko**
It's not over yet! Isn't that right?!
**[12:16] Suiko**
Run, Kouji Ibuki!
**[12:20] Suiko**
Nome! Nome!
**[12:27] Ibuki (M)**
I came this far to get back
to my original world.
**[12:30] Ibuki (M)**
No, that's not true. What I...
**[12:33] Ibuki (M)**
What I really wanted to do was...
**[12:44] Ibuki**
It can't end like this!
**[12:50] Shin**
Misaki?
**[12:52] Emi**
Oh, yeah. There's a noise coming from there.
**[12:55] Emi**
Mice?
**[12:56] Shin**
No, only a Genesis deck and
my old glasses should be in there.
**[13:03] Shin**
I... I can't see!
**[13:07] Emi**
A card?
**[13:12] Emi**
It's Blaster Dark!
**[13:15] Shin**
That's odd. What was it doing in there?
**[13:18] Emi**
Could it be, you were waiting for me?
**[13:26] Emi**
Thank you!
**[13:28] Kamui**
Wait a sec!
**[13:30] Kamui**
Miss Emi!
**[13:32] Shin**
Kamui.
**[13:35] Kamui**
Miss Emi! What a relief!
**[13:38] Kamui**
I've been looking for ya.
**[13:40] Emi**
Kamui? You were looking for me?
**[13:42] Kamui**
Um, so I idolized a fighter a long time back.
**[13:48] Kamui**
At least I'm sure I did.
**[13:50] Kamui**
So one day, I came across a card
that happened to be his specialty unit,
**[13:53] Kamui**
and I just held onto it for some reason.
**[13:56] Shin**
Why, it's Blaster Blade!
**[13:58] Shin**
But did we have a fighter who used
Blaster Blade as their primary card?
**[14:04] Kamui**
I can't remember! Not even his name or face!
**[14:06] Kamui**
But I'm positive he existed!
**[14:09] Kamui**
And it felt like someone was telling me
to give ya this card, Miss Emi.
**[14:15] Shin**
Someone? Who?
**[14:18] Kamui**
Who...?
**[14:31] Kamui**
I don't know.
**[14:32] Kamui**
So while this is sudden
and you may not believe me--
**[14:37] Emi**
No, Kamui, thank you!
**[14:44] Shin**
Wow, she really did want those cards.
**[14:47] Emi**
Blaster Blade, Blaster Dark!
**[14:50] Emi**
You're Aichi's light and darkness!
**[14:53] Emi**
That's why you didn't leave! Isn't that right?!
**[15:03] Kourin**
That's...
**[15:05] Aichi**
Yes. It's the Akashic Book you used to have.
**[15:09] Aichi**
This book and this castle will sink together!
**[15:19] Aichi**
Now that Majesty Lord Blaster has disappeared,
**[15:22] Aichi**
I'm going to sink myself and this book
deep into the ground.
**[15:26] Aichi**
That way, history can't be overturned.
**[15:30] Aichi**
But first...
**[15:37] Aichi**
He belongs to this world.
**[15:39] Aichi**
He has to become happy.
**[15:45] Kai**
The whole structure is sinking...
**[15:52] Emi**
Kai!
**[15:56] Emi**
Kai, here!
**[15:58] Kai**
Blaster Blade...
**[16:02] Emi**
Please, help me once more!
**[16:05] Kai**
It won't work.
**[16:09] Kai**
This one's different from the card I had.
**[16:12] Emi**
It can't be!
**[16:16] Kai**
There are two cards?!
**[16:23] Emi**
This card... is Shuka!
**[16:33] Kai**
Hey!
**[16:38] Emi**
These are the same as Shuka's!
**[16:42] Emi**
With these wings, we'll fly over to Aichi!
**[16:46] Emi**
Kai, please imagine it!
**[16:48] Kai**
Imagine what?
**[16:49] Emi**
This is my world.
**[16:52] Emi**
What I wish for will definitely happen!
**[16:55] Aichi**
Why? Why has it stopped?!
**[17:03] Kourin**
Takuto!
**[17:04] Rekka**
Yay! Takuto!
**[17:06] Takuto**
You really should have told me
that you'd left it unlocked.
**[17:10] Takuto**
And you made yet another great mistake.
**[17:15] Takuto**
Some pages were torn from that Akashic Book.
**[17:19] Takuto**
And even if a fragmented history book
can be overwritten, you can't stop history.
**[17:27] Takuto**
For as long as I am here,
an observer of time, time marches on.
**[17:35] Aichi**
Then I'll start by obliterating you!
**[17:40] Emi**
Aichi!
**[17:43] Emi**
I believe that, whatever the card, once a
fighter picks it up, it becomes special to them!
**[17:49] Emi**
So this must be a special card, too!
**[17:53] Kai**
I see! This is my Blaster Blade!
**[17:59] Emi**
Superior Calling!
**[18:22] Emi**
Thank you, Shuka!
**[18:26] Emi**
Final Realize!
**[18:36] Aichi**
You dare appear before me again,
Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark?!
**[18:44] Aichi**
When I obtained my powers, I realized that
there was something even I could do.
**[18:49] Aichi**
I could make everyone happy!
**[18:52] Ren**
You're right about that!
**[18:53] Kai**
Exactly! You have Vanguard!
**[18:57] Aichi**
But because of Vanguard,
people fight and become miserable!
**[19:08] Ibuki**
However, when you win,
it's the best feeling of all!
**[19:12] Ibuki**
Isn't that right, Aichi Sendou?!
**[19:14] Ibuki**
Happiness, unhappiness,
they're both part of Vanguard!
**[19:18] Ibuki**
I'm counting on you, magical girl!
**[19:21] Emi**
Majesty Lord Blaster: the Card of Miracle,
**[19:24] Emi**
and the magic warrior Shuka eagerly awaited!
**[19:30] Emi**
Realize!
**[19:37] Shuka**
Magic warrior!
**[19:39] Emi**
Shuka!
**[19:46] Shuka**
Thank you for coming!
**[19:58] Kai**
*Now* you make your entrance?
**[20:00] Ren**
That's right. It's not too late, Bukki.
**[20:03] Ibuki**
It can't end like this!
**[20:05] Ibuki**
For me, nothing is ever too late!
**[20:08] Ibuki**
Here we come, Sendou.
**[20:10] Ibuki**
When Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark enter
the Soul, Majesty Lord Blaster gets a new power!
**[20:18] Ren**
Huh?
**[20:19] Kai**
Hey, hey!
**[20:26] Aichi**
No! That card is mine!
**[20:31] Ibuki**
You're strong, Aichi Sendou.
**[20:33] Ibuki**
But the stronger your opponent,
the more you wish to become stronger!
**[20:37] Ibuki**
So you imagine yourself being stronger,
and that image will change you!
**[20:42] Kai**
Even if you're unhappy...
**[20:44] Ren**
Even if your world is boring...
**[20:46] Aichi**
You mean I'd change... even if... I'm weak?
**[20:51] Ibuki**
Light and darkness! Lend me your power!
**[20:54] Ibuki**
Now is the time for despair to become hope!
**[20:57] Ibuki**
Imagine it!
**[20:58] The Two**
That's Vanguard!
**[21:03] Young Ibuki**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[21:04] Young Aichi**
I-I still only have 2 damage.
**[21:07] Young Ibuki**
I'm not alone. Here I go!
**[21:11] Young Ibuki**
First check!
**[21:12] Young Ibuki**
Second check!
**[21:14] Young Ibuki**
Critical trigger!
**[21:47] Suiko**
He won. Ibuki won.
**[22:01] Takuto**
With this, I hope I was able
to pay back the debt I owed you.
**[22:06] Takuto**
Well, see you later.
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Narukami's
Eradicator, Dragonic Descendant!
***SIGN*** Eradicator, Dragonic Descendant
**[23:53] Narrator**
When you ride it upon a unit
with "Eradicator" in its name,
**[23:55] Narrator**
this unit will gain all of that unit's skills!
**[23:58] Narrator**
By paying 1 Soul Blast, you can bind one
of your opponent's front row rear-guards,
**[24:02] Narrator**
and move one of their back row
rear-guards to the front!
**[24:04] Narrator**
And when this unit's attack fails to hit,
**[24:06] Narrator**
then by paying the cost,
you can stand it with -1 drive!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:17] Emi**
I'm Emi Sendou!
**[24:18] Emi**
Next week is the final episode of
*Cardfight!! Vanguard Extra Story -if-.*
**[24:23] Emi**
When you think about it,
a lot of things happened this season.
**[24:25] Emi**
But right now, all I can think of is her:
**[24:29] Emi**
Shuka, the flower-picker who heard
the voices of nearly-forgotten cards
**[24:33] Emi**
and went to gather them.
**[24:35] Emi**
I haven't forgotten you.
**[24:37] Emi**
Where can I seek you out?

**[00:03] Rekka**
Aren't those...?
**[00:04] Kourin**
The cards are going back to
the places where they belong.
**[00:11] Emi**
Say, where's Aichi?
**[00:13] Emi**
What happened to Aichi?
**[00:15] Ren**
Don't worry.
**[00:18] Ren**
Aichi will come back soon enough.
**[00:21] Ibuki**
Why do you always say things
off the top of your head?
**[00:25] Ren**
Have I ever said anything mistaken?
**[00:27] Ibuki**
Listen, you...
**[00:33] Emi**
It's Aichi's deck.
**[00:36] Ren**
Huh? It returned to the wrong place.
**[00:39] Kai**
Then I'll give it back to him.
**[00:43] Kai**
While I'm returning this.
**[00:45] Emi**
Aichi's Blaster Blade...
**[00:47] Suiko**
Return that to the place where it all began,
and all of the distortions will disappear.
**[00:52] Ren**
Are you ready?
**[00:56] Kai**
What's wrong?
**[00:58] Emi**
Sorry. Please wait a bit!
**[01:01] Ibuki (M)**
I can't blame her.
**[01:03] Suiko (M)**
If the distortions disappear,
**[01:05] Suiko (M)**
it will be the Aichi from another world,
whom Emi doesn't know, coming back.
**[01:10] Ren**
Need us to call it off?
**[01:12] Emi**
No, that's not why.
**[01:13] Emi**
Before you return Blaster Blade,
would you play Vanguard with me?
**[01:19] Rekka**
Why do you want to have a Cardfight?
**[01:22] Kai**
Sure.
**[01:25] Kai**
I'll play you. Follow me.
**[01:28] Emi**
Thank you!
***SIGN*** if 25
Hearts Connected
**[01:38] Kai**
You know how to play?
**[01:40] Emi**
I'll be fine.
**[01:41] The Two**
Thanks to my teaching!
**[01:43] Ibuki**
When did you...?!
**[01:45] Suiko**
What about you?!
**[01:46] The Two**
Hmph!
**[01:46] Kai**
You said that's Aichi's deck?
**[01:48] Emi**
Yes. It's Royal Paladin.
**[01:51] Kai**
Then I'll lend you this.
**[01:53] Kai**
That deck was first complete
with the addition of Blaster Blade.
**[02:01] Emi**
Thank you.
**[02:08] Kai**
Now, imagine it.
**[02:09] Emi**
Right.
**[02:14] Emi (M)**
I can feel it...
**[02:16] Emi (M)**
The burning sunlight...
even the scent of the dry earth...
**[02:20] Emi (M)**
So Aichi also fought while
experiencing these sensations.
**[02:25] Kai**
I'm gonna start. Are you ready?
**[02:27] Emi**
Yes!
**[02:28] Kai**
Stand up the Vanguard!
**[02:28] Emi**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[02:32] Kai**
I ride Lizard Runner, Undeux!
**[02:36] Emi**
I ride Glyme!
**[02:41] Kai**
I ride Embodiment of Armor, Bahr!
**[02:45] Emi**
I ride Allen!
**[02:54] Kai**
Are you having fun?
**[02:56] Emi**
Yes!
**[02:57] Kai**
When you, Ibuki and the others
first came to see me,
**[03:02] Kai**
I didn't know anything about Aichi Sendou.
**[03:07] Kai**
Even when Takuto Tatsunagi told me
about my other life, I couldn't imagine it.
**[03:14] Ibuki**
But you got a hint of it, didn't you?
**[03:18] Ibuki**
When you rode Blaster Blade,
you could sense that other world.
**[03:23] Kai**
Yeah. Although I felt skeptical at first.
**[03:27] Emi**
It was all so unbelievable to me, too.
**[03:34] Emi**
I'd think, this must be a dream.
**[03:38] Emi**
That's why when they told me that
everyone loves Aichi, I was like, "No way!"
**[03:44] Kourin**
But it's true.
**[03:46] Kourin**
There was something about Aichi
that attracted others to him.
**[03:51] Rekka**
So, he had a grip on your heart too, Kou?
**[03:55] Kourin**
I-I didn't mean it like that!
**[03:57] Rekka**
Squeezy-squeeze!
**[03:59] Kourin**
Cut it out!
**[04:00] Rekka**
Squeeze!
**[04:00] Kai**
Something wrong?
**[04:02] Kai**
It's your turn.
**[04:03] Emi**
Right!
**[04:04] Emi**
Stand and draw!
**[04:10] Emi (M)**
What's the distortion,
and what's the rightful form?
**[04:14] Emi (M)**
Even as I'm running down the path,
I still don't know for sure.
**[04:18] Emi (M)**
But still, I can widen my path...
as well as the world!
**[04:24] Emi**
Stand up, my avatar!
**[04:30] Emi**
From the military force of planet Cray's
**[04:33] Emi**
hallowed nation of United Sanctuary,
**[04:35] Emi**
Royal Paladin's sword of light!
**[04:39] Emi**
Blaster Blade!
**[04:41] Emi**
Ability Blast...
**[04:43] Emi**
Burst Buster!
**[04:48] Emi**
If Aichi gets this Blaster Blade,
I think his world will change.
**[04:56] Emi**
No matter whatever tough or sad things happen...
**[05:00] Emi**
...if he has Vanguard,
he'll be able to overcome them.
**[05:04] Emi**
That's the power...
**[05:10] Emi**
...of forming a bond with Vanguard!
**[05:15] Suiko**
If there are four or more rear-guards,
Blaster Blade gets an extra critical!
**[05:45] Ren**
Congratulations, Emi!
**[05:47] Ibuki**
Hey, don't tell me you lost on purpose.
**[05:50] Kai**
Never! It was all in the cards.
**[05:54] Kai**
It was fate.
**[05:56] Suiko**
Thinking back, we were all
being manipulated by fate, really.
**[06:01] Rekka**
At least it was kind of fun.
**[06:03] Ren**
I know, right?!
**[06:05] Rekka**
You have no business saying that!
**[06:10] Emi**
I've learned something from all of this.
**[06:14] Kai**
What's that?
**[06:16] Emi**
Vanguard is fun!
**[06:21] Rekka**
If you have cards, you can communicate,
even with someone you've just met.
**[06:26] Suiko**
That's where Vanguard shines.
**[06:39] Emi**
Please give this to him.
**[06:45] Kai**
Leave it to me.
**[07:05] Kai**
Are you okay?
**[07:10] Young Kai**
Sorry.
**[07:15] Kai**
You like Vanguard?
**[07:19] Young Kai**
Yes.
**[07:21] Kai**
Never forget that feeling.
**[07:24] Kai**
No matter how tough things may get,
if you've got Vanguard, you can overcome them.
**[07:29] Young Kai**
Overcome what?
**[07:32] Kai**
Imagine it.
Imagination will become your strength.
**[07:43] Young Kai**
Thank you so mu--
**[08:02] Miwa**
You awake?
**[08:05] Kai**
Miwa?
**[08:06] Kai**
What are you doing here?
**[08:08] Miwa**
Seriously?!
**[08:09] Miwa**
You fainted all of a sudden.
Scared the heck outta me!
**[08:13] Miwa**
Where're you going?
**[08:15] Kai**
You said we were going to a card shop, right?
**[08:19] Miwa**
Yeah, though there's this kinda
temperamental clerk working there.
**[08:23] Kai**
Lead the way.
**[08:24] Miwa**
What's gotten into you, man?
**[08:26] Miwa**
It's more like you're leading the way!
**[08:29] Miwa**
Do you even know where it is?
**[08:33] Suiko**
I guess that takes care of everything.
**[08:36] Ibuki**
Yeah. And that eyesore of a castle
has also vanished without a trace.
**[08:42] Suiko**
Our unwilling partnership ends here, too.
**[08:45] Ibuki**
That's welcome news!
**[08:48] Ibuki**
I swear, all you Tatsunagis
just live for messing up my life.
**[08:53] Suiko**
Says the guy who Deleted me!
**[08:56] Ibuki**
You're still harping on that?!
**[08:57] Suiko**
Naturally!
**[08:59] Suiko**
You'll be atoning for that your entire life!
**[09:05] Ibuki**
Why, you! I'll remember this!
**[09:08] Suiko**
You expect me to forget it?!
**[09:11] Ibuki**
Say what?!
**[09:15] Ibuki**
While I'll never forget it...
**[09:17] Ibuki**
...I suspect that, next time we meet,
we won't be the same.
**[09:48] Emi**
And so, our adventurous journey came to an end.
**[09:55] Emi**
With the distortions all gone...
**[09:59] Emi**
...peace has returned to our town.
**[10:07] Emi**
But somehow, boba milk tea just doesn't
taste as good when you're drinking it alone...
**[10:13] Announcer**
Emi Sendou, Emi Sendou.
**[10:16] Announcer**
Please come to the information desk.
**[10:19] Emi**
Jeez! What are you doing, Aichi?!
**[10:23] Emi**
Where's your phone?!
**[10:25] Aichi**
I guess I left it at home...
**[10:29] Emi**
You're helpless without me!
**[10:31] Emi**
Let's go! The Vanguard event is about to begin!
**[10:34] Aichi**
Wait up, Emi!
**[11:04] Ibuki**
Not again...
***SIGN*** Vanguard Event
**[11:20] Ibuki (M)**
I came here, but I'm really not
into this kind of thing.
**[11:25] Voice**
It's Aichi!
**[11:26] Boy**
Whoa, it's Aichi Sendou!
**[11:27] Ibuki**
It's them...
**[11:28] Guy**
The ace of the Vanguard Koshien!
**[11:29] Emi**
Aichi!
**[11:30] Aichi**
Um, if everyone could please calm down...
**[11:36] Ibuki**
Come on, this way.
**[11:40] Aichi**
Thank you, Ibuki.
**[11:43] Ibuki**
What are you doing here?
**[11:46] Aichi**
I'm supposed to participate in this event.
**[11:49] Aichi**
Um, you'll be there too, Ibuki?
**[11:52] Ibuki**
I don't know why,
but I was in the mood for it today.
**[11:56] Emi**
Aichi, he kind of scares me...
**[12:00] Aichi**
He's a student at Fukuhara High,
which won the previous tournament.
**[12:04] Aichi**
He may look grumpy, but don't worry,
he's actually really nice.
**[12:07] Ibuki**
Did you say something, Sendou?
**[12:10] Aichi**
Oh, nothing, really.
***SIGN*** Vanguard Preparation Committee
**[12:19] Staff A**
Once Miya announces you,
Sendou, please go on stage.
**[12:24] Ibuki**
Sendou, I'll go get us stuff to drink.
**[12:27] Aichi**
I don't need anything.
**[12:29] Ibuki**
Don't worry about it.
**[12:32] Emi**
You were right. He actually is nice, Aichi!
**[12:35] Aichi**
Shhh!
**[12:39] Ibuki**
Sorry.
**[12:41] Suiko**
I'm sorry.
**[12:44] Ibuki**
It's you, from the Tatsunagi mansion!
**[12:44] Suiko**
It's you, from the castle!
**[12:50] Suiko**
Oh, no! I'm in a hurry!
**[12:52] Ibuki**
Good for you.
**[12:58] Ibuki**
What's this?
**[13:00] Miya**
This is where we'll
shut off the lights momentarily.
**[13:02] Miya**
After I announce you,
ULTRARARE, please take the stage.
**[13:07] Kourin**
There won't be anything to trip on, will there?
**[13:10] Staff A**
We'll be guiding you.
**[13:12] Staff A**
And by the time you reach your seats,
all the lights will be back on.
**[13:15] Rekka**
Roger that.
**[13:17] Suiko**
Understood.
**[13:28] Vangua-rou**
Vangua-rou is here!
**[13:33] Staff A**
What are you doing, Mr. Oyama?
**[13:36] Staff A**
All you had to do was bring it, not wear it.
**[13:39] Oyama**
Aww, what's the harm in that?
**[13:41] Oyama**
I feel at peace in there, y'know?
**[13:44] Staff A**
They're looking for you at headquarters.
**[13:47] Oyama**
Oops! Gotta run!
**[13:50] Miya**
So the concept is that each of you
will talk about a favorite card.
**[13:52] Emi (M)**
So he's the one who wears that.
**[13:56] Miya**
Did you bring your cards with you?
**[13:58] Rekka**
Of course!
**[14:00] Kourin**
Yes. I have mine.
**[14:02] Rekka**
What's wrong, Su?
**[14:10] Suiko**
I'll go get mine!
**[14:12] Kourin**
Suiko?!
**[14:19] Suiko**
I dropped that one.
**[14:22] Ibuki**
This is the card everyone's talking about.
**[14:25] Suiko**
That's right.
**[14:26] Ibuki**
It was only just released,
so how come it's your favorite?
**[14:34] Miya**
I figured that would be your card, Sendou.
**[14:37] Aichi**
Yes. It wouldn't be an overstatement for me
to say that it all began with this card.
**[14:42] Aichi**
Including the way I am now,
and even getting to take part in this...
**[14:47] Aichi**
In everything I do, this card,
Blaster Blade, is my number one.
**[14:56] Rekka**
Why are you so teary-eyed?
**[14:58] Kourin**
No reason, really!
**[15:00] Miya**
On that note, what's your favorite card?
**[15:04] Emi**
I like the card that has
a cute girl in a black outfit!
**[15:11] Suiko**
What about it? Just give it back.
**[15:14] Ibuki**
Where's the proof that it's yours?
**[15:16] Ibuki**
Besides, it's not even your clan.
**[15:18] Suiko**
Oho, so you even know which clan I use?
**[15:22] Suiko**
Very well. I'll give you my autograph
as thanks for picking that up for me.
**[15:27] Ibuki**
I'm no fanboy.
**[15:29] Suiko**
Excuse me, but I need to go back there!
**[15:32] Suiko**
So give it back!
**[15:39] Ibuki**
Sorry, I didn't mean to threaten you.
**[15:43] Ibuki**
This is yours.
**[15:54] Ibuki (M)**
What's with me?
**[15:56] Ibuki (M)**
Why did I start to
raise a fist at her so casually?
**[15:59] Ibuki (M)**
What kind of a creep am I?
**[16:01] Suiko (M)**
What was with that guy?! Creep!
**[16:05] Rekka**
A girl in a black outfit?
**[16:08] Rekka**
Was there such a card?
**[16:10] Kourin**
Raven-haired Ezel is in black,
but I'd call it more burly than cute.
**[16:15] Emi**
No, sorry. I don't know why I said that.
**[16:20] Suiko**
Sorry to keep you waiting!
**[16:29] Man**
It's so shiny!
***SIGN*** Rekka Tatsunagi Kourin Tatsunagi
**[16:34] Miya**
Thank you for sharing your passion, Kourin.
**[16:38] Miya**
Blond Ezel really is awesome.
**[16:41] Miya**
Of course, Cecilia is awesome, too.
**[16:43] Miya**
And now let's have Suiko, please.
***SIGN*** Suiko Tatsunagi Majesty Lord Blaster
**[16:48] Miya**
Whoa, now this is unusual!
**[16:50] Miya**
This popular card was released just recently.
**[16:53] Suiko**
With Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark,
**[16:56] Suiko**
the cooperation of two different clans
allows this card to wield even greater power.
**[17:01] Suiko**
It may sounds somewhat surprising, but to me,
**[17:05] Suiko**
this is a special card representing
a special personal connection.
**[17:08] A**
It's not Angel Feather...
**[17:09] Emi**
A special card...
**[17:11] B**
But that's a rare card.
**[17:13] C**
It's cool that she chose a brand-new card.
**[17:21] Rekka**
It's great that the audience loved it,
but I was still a little surprised.
**[17:26] Kourin**
Me too. Why introduce that card?
**[17:31] MC**
And now, champion of the Asia Circuit,
and finalist of the Vanguard Koshien!

This auditorium has been taken over
by the evil Jammer army!
**[17:47] Oyama**
Everyone, be quiet and obey us!
**[17:50] Ibuki**
A Jammer?!
**[17:51] Miya**
Oh no! This wasn't on the schedule!
**[17:54] Miya**
Everyone, please remain calm!
***SIGN*** J
**[18:02] Emi**
What is that?
**[18:03] Ibuki**
They really didn't
put much thought into these "villains."
**[18:06] Oyama**
Jammer! Jammer!
**[18:08] D**
It's Oyama!
**[18:09] E**
We can see your face!
**[18:11] Oyama**
Don't call me by my name!
**[18:13] Oyama**
Now, everyone in this auditorium
will join the evil Jammer army!
**[18:20] Oyama**
So we're going to hold tryouts!
**[18:22] Oyama**
Who here wants to join the Jammers?!
**[18:25] C**
Me!
**[18:26] A**
Pick me!
**[18:27] Vanguarou (Girl)**
Stop right there!
**[18:30] Vanguarou (Girl)**
Outta the way, Jammer!
**[18:35] Oyama**
You don't sound so tough now!
**[18:38] Oyama**
Here.
**[18:38] Aichi**
Um, "Then I challenge you
to a game of Vanguard!"
**[18:43] Oyama**
You seriously mean to challenge
a villain to a duel with mere cards?!
**[18:48] Emi**
Aichi, you can do it!
**[18:50] Ibuki**
I can't bear to watch this skit.
**[18:53] Staff B**
Kouji Ibuki.
**[18:56] Girl**
Hold it right there!
**[19:07] Girl**
Jammers, we will now foil your sinister scheme!
**[19:11] Girl**
You're going up against the Blaster Pair!
**[19:14] Oyama**
Pair, you say?
**[19:16] Oyama**
I only see you! Jammer!
**[19:18] Girl**
Well, look again!
**[19:24] Girl**
Say the line.
**[19:27] Girl**
Go on!
**[19:32] The Two**
The Blaster Pair is here!
**[19:35] Oyama**
Y-You two are the magical girls
whose new show starts soon! Jammer!
**[19:42] Oyama**
Capture them, my Jammers!
**[19:45] Jammers**
Jammer!

Realize?

Huh? What the?
**[19:56] Girl**
I like that!
**[19:57] Girl**
"Realize!" Mind if I use that?
**[20:00] Emi**
S-Sure...
**[20:07] Girl**
All of our hearts are connected!
**[20:09] Girl**
Everyone, say it with me!
**[20:12] Girl**
Realize!
**[20:13] Audience**
Realize!
**[20:19] Suiko**
Sorry about earlier.
**[20:20] Suiko**
Thank you for picking up my card.
**[20:22] Suiko**
I appreciate it.
**[20:27] Ibuki**
No, I only saw it by chance.
**[20:30] Suiko**
By chance, huh?
**[20:33] Suiko**
Still, I'm glad you picked it up.
**[20:37] Suiko**
See you.
**[20:38] Suiko**
Yes?
**[20:41] Ibuki**
It's nothing...
**[20:43] Ibuki**
See you.
**[20:45] Suiko**
Yeah.
**[20:49] Suiko**
What is it?
**[20:50] Ibuki**
Nothing. Forget it.
**[20:54] Suiko**
I'm fine with us doing it right here and now...
**[21:03] Staff B**
Suiko, it's time!
**[21:05] Staff B**
We need you to change outfits now.
**[21:10] Oyama**
It's been a while since we've had an event,
but thanks for getting so into it!
**[21:15] Oyama**
Okay, everyone, can I get a shout?
**[21:26] Ibuki**
Well, isn't that always the way?
**[21:30] All**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[21:30] Kai (etc.?)**
Stand up, The Vanguard!
**[22:53] Suiko**
Get in, please.
**[22:55] Ibuki**
You're from ULTRARARE...
**[22:58] Ibuki**
Shh!
**[23:00] Suiko**
I'm with the Tatsunagi Foundation.
**[23:03] Suiko**
I'll fill you in on the details later.
**[23:07] Ibuki**
And if I refuse?
**[23:09] Suiko**
You would only regret it.
**[23:14] Ibuki**
You could've just told me
I don't have a choice.
