**[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!

**[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.
