***SIGN*** Fukuhara High School Miyaji Academy
**[00:10] MC**
They each have two wins and two losses!
***SIGN*** *Minami Kawanami* -1st- Eru Nakagami *Kiriya Bidou* -2nd- Shingo Komoi Asaka Narumi -3rd- *Misaki Tokura* Ren Suzugamori -4th- *Aichi Sendou* Kouji Ibuki -Anchor- Naoki Ishida
**[00:12] MC**
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!
