[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!

[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!

[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!

[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.

[14:36] 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!

[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.

Stop! [16:26] Eru     C-Calm down, my right arm! [16:30] Naitou     What's wrong, Nakagami? [16:31] Eru     It demands a sacrifice!

[16:53] 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!

[17:36] 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...

[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...

[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...

[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     Student Council president of Miyaji Academy, [24:18] Naitou     with the motto, "the development     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?
