[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.

[03:09] Young Kai
Stand up, The Vanguard!
[03:09] Young Miwa
Stand up, Vanguard!
[03:14] Miwa
I'm not quite sure
when we first became pals.
[03:17] Miwa
We'd just been having fun playing together.
[03:22] Young Miwa
I always win at other games...
[03:24] Young Miwa
What am I missing with this one?
[03:26] Young Kai
Well, if you insist...
[03:28] Young Kai
I'll explain the secret.
[03:30] Young Kai
Imagine yourself being stronger.
[03:34] Young Kai
My imagination is how I got so strong!
[03:37] Young Miwa
That's not much of an explanation.
[03:40] Young Kai
You'll never win against me
if you can't understand that.
[03:44] Young Miwa
I just can't! But still...
[03:47] Young Miwa
...let's fight again tomorrow, after school!
[03:50] Young Kai
I'll just beat you again.
[03:53] Young Miwa
You jerk!
[03:55] Young Miwa
I'll get you...!
[03:58] Miwa
I assumed the next day
would be the same as this one.
[04:02] Miwa
But then...
[04:04] Teacher
I have an unfortunate announcement.
[04:08] Teacher
For family reasons,
Toshiki Kai has moved away.
[04:14] Teacher
Miwa!
[04:17] Young Miwa
Why?!
[04:19] Young Miwa
Why didn't he tell me?!
[04:22] Young Miwa
We made a promise!
[04:24] Young Miwa
A promise to fight again today!
[04:27] Young Miwa
Didn't we, Kai?!
[04:31] Miwa
I couldn't even visit him,
since I didn't know his new address.
[04:43] Miwa
It hurt so much just thinking about Kai,
[04:45] Miwa
I couldn't even get into Vanguard anymore.
[04:50] Miwa
All I could do was get through each day.
[04:56] Girl B
Right?!
[04:56] Girl A
He's just so cool!
[04:59] Miwa
Hey, do you mean me?!
[05:02] Miwa
You sounded excited!
What were you talking about?
[05:07] Girl B
We're going to go watch a super cool fighter.
[05:10] Miwa
"Fighter"? Like in Vanguard?
[05:13] Girl B
Yeah. Do you play, too?
[05:17] Miwa
Well, I used to...
[05:19] Miwa
This sounds like fun! Take me with you!
[05:25] Miwa
Wow, what a crowd!
[05:27] Miwa
What kind of guy is...
[05:32] Miwa
Kai! That's Kai!
[05:34] Miwa
Kai!
[05:37] Miwa
Who's that guy?
[05:38] Girl B
You don't know? That's Ren Suzugamori!
[05:41] Girl B
He's too cool!
[05:43] Kai
Who's next?
[05:46] Miwa
Sorry! Let me borrow this!
[05:49] Miwa
I'm next!
[05:52] Miwa
Long time no see, Kai.
[05:56] Ren
You know him?
[06:00] Miwa
I never thought I'd get to fight you again!
[06:03] Miwa
I was worried about you,
after you moved away so suddenly.
[06:08] Miwa
What're you up to these days?
[06:09] Kai
Stand and draw.
[06:11] Miwa
Huh?
[06:12] Kai
I ride!
[06:13] Kai
Dragonic Overlord!
[06:15] Kai
I attack your rear-guard!
[06:17] Miwa
H-Hey!
[06:19] Kai
Counterblast!
[06:22] Kai
I restand Dragonic Overlord!
[06:25] Miwa
Kai, what's wrong with you?
[06:27] Miwa
What happened?
[06:29] Kai
I attack your Vanguard.
[06:34] Miwa
Kai...
[06:44] Kai
I won again.
[06:50] Ren
No strong fighters here either, huh?
[06:53] Ren
Let's get going, Kai.
[06:56] Kai
Yeah.
[06:58] Girl
Hey...
[07:04] Miwa
It looked like something
was seriously bothering him,
[07:09] Miwa
but I couldn't do anything about it.
[07:15] Miwa
So when we were reunited at our high school
entrance ceremony, I made a vow to myself.
[07:32] Miwa
Kai!
[07:39] Miwa
To always be at his side, from then on.
[08:04] Asaka
What a tiny shop.
[08:06] Miwa
Whoa! What a babe!
[08:09] Miwa
Wanna fight with me, gorgeous?
[08:18] Miwa
You're...
[08:24] Miwa
I take that back.
[08:26] Miwa
Hit the road, Asteroid!
[08:31] Asaka
You hate me that much?
[08:34] Asaka
I haven't done anything yet.
[08:42] Asaka
Say, shopkeeper...
[08:44] Asaka
I hear a fighter named Toshiki Kai
hangs out at this place.
[08:49] Miwa
Hey, didn't you hear me?
[08:51] Miwa
And I especially don't like
you people asking about Kai.
[08:56] Asaka
Are you a friend of Toshiki Kai's?
[08:58] Asaka
That's perfect.
[09:00] Asaka
Where is--
[09:01] Miwa
If you wanna know, then fight me!
[09:04] Miwa
You're gonna lose, though.
[09:06] Asaka
That sounds like fun.
[09:16] Misaki
Wait, Miwa!
[09:17] Misaki
Fighting Team Asteroid...
[09:19] Misaki
Don't you know what that means?!
[09:21] Miwa
Aww, really, Misaki?
[09:23] Miwa
You're that worried about me?
[09:26] Miwa
I'm flattered!
[09:27] Misaki
This is no time for joking around!
[09:29] Miwa
Yeah, I know.
[09:31] Miwa
It means I have to fight wearing these.
[09:33] Shin
Wait!
[09:35] Shin
Miwa, as the manager of this shop,
[09:39] Shin
I have the authority
to halt this dangerous fight.
[09:43] Miwa
I appreciate the sentiment, Shin,
[09:45] Miwa
but both of us consented to the fight.
[09:48] Miwa
Could you look the other way, just this once?
[09:53] Shin
Very well.
[09:55] Miwa
Listen up.
[09:56] Miwa
If I win, you'll never come back to this shop.
[09:59] Miwa
And you'll leave Kai alone!
[10:01] Asaka
Fine by me.
[10:02] Asaka
On the other hand,
if I win, you'll show me...
[10:06] Asaka
...where to find Toshiki Kai.
[10:08] The Two
Stand up, Vanguard!
[10:12] Shin
Her clan is Pale Moon,
[10:14] Shin
a dark circus that specializes in
using the Soul to create tricky plays.
[10:19] Shin
It should be an interesting fight, but...
[10:22] Misaki
Miwa...
[10:50] Miwa
Ride!
[10:51] Miwa
Rocket Hammer Man!
[10:54] Miwa
Pale Moon is a circus that conjures nightmares!
[10:57] Miwa
I won't let you commit your
evil deeds from the shadows anymore!
[11:00] Asaka
How childish.
[11:03] Miwa
Step up, Rocket Hammer Man!
[11:07] Rocket
Okay!
[11:08] Rocket
Igniting rocket!
[11:19] Miwa
That's the way!
[11:20] Miwa
I'll ignite mine, too!
[11:23] Asaka
How naive! Hoop Magician!
[11:26] Hoop
Leave it to me!
[11:27] Miwa
You're mine!
[11:30] Hoop
Hop in!
[11:35] Miwa
Ow!
[11:37] Miwa
You little...
[11:43] Asaka
How pathetic.
[11:44] Miwa
You're up there now?!
[11:47] Asaka
Ride!
[11:52] Asaka
Jumping Jill!
[11:54] Miwa
Sh-She disappeared!
[11:55] Asaka
Starting Presenter's skill when ridden...
[12:01] Asaka
Who's on today's playbill?
[12:11] Miwa
I'm not paying for this.
[12:16] Asaka
Now, on with the show!
[12:26] Miwa
Where is she?!
[12:27] Asaka
I'm over here!
[12:31] Asaka
Drive check!
[12:33] Asaka
Critical trigger!
[12:35] Asaka
I give the power to Nitro Juggler,
[12:37] Asaka
and the critical to my Vanguard!
[12:45] Misaki
Miwa!
[12:46] Miwa
Psych! I'm totally fine!
[12:49] Misaki
This is serious!
[12:51] Miwa
All right, all right...
[12:54] Asaka
Nitro Juggler.
[12:55] Asaka
Finish him!
[12:58] Nitro
Just watch me.
[13:00] Nitro
My, you look exhausted.
This'll get you moving.
[13:04] Miwa
That's very kind!
[13:07] Miwa
Wait, this stuff is...
[13:12] Nitro
Sucker!
[13:16] Misaki
4 damage, all at once...
[13:19] Shin
He's fallen for all of her tricks.
[13:22] Shin
Miwa, it's time to stand firm!
[13:25] Miwa
Darn it! Watch this!
[13:28] Miwa
Ride!
[13:29] Miwa
Boomerang Thrower!
[13:32] Miwa
Step up, Death Army Guy!
[13:34] Guy
Okay, boss!
[13:35] Miwa
Cat Butler!
[13:36] Cat
Always at your call, m'lord.
[13:38] Miwa
I'm counting on you!
[13:40] Cat
If I may have your assistance,
Rocket Hammer Man.
[13:43] Rocket
Okay! Igniting rocket!
[13:51] Asaka
What a hilarious show.
[13:56] Cat
Meoww!
[14:00] Miwa
Cat Butler!
[14:02] Miwa
Darn it! Help me out, Death Army Guy!
[14:05] Guy
Guy!
[14:09] Miwa
I'll handle this! Double Boomerang!
[14:12] Asaka
Hoop Magician!
[14:13] Hoop
Allow me!
[14:17] Asaka
Your attacks have no power against our magic.
[14:22] Miwa
Is that so? Cat Butler!
[14:24] Cat
M'lord.
[14:27] Miwa
This is well made.
[14:29] Miwa
Thank you. Take a nice break.
[14:31] Cat
Fare thee well, m'lord.
[14:35] Miwa
All right, one more time! Boomerang Shoot!
[14:39] Miwa
Drive check!
[14:40] Miwa
Draw trigger!
[14:42] Miwa
I give the power to my Vanguard,
[14:44] Miwa
and draw one card!
[14:52] Miwa
Don't expect your crummy tricks
to work on me forever!
[14:56] Shin
This is a great fight!
[15:00] Shin
Miwa's taken his share of damage,
[15:02] Shin
but thanks to that last trigger,
he's got plenty of cards in hand!
[15:06] Shin
Meanwhile, his opponent's used up
a lot of cards from her hand,
[15:09] Shin
but she's kept her damage to a minimum!
[15:12] Shin
What developments lie in store?!
I can't wait to find out, Misaki!
[15:19] Shin
Argh!
[15:21] Misaki
Don't enjoy a fight against Team Asteroid!
[15:25] Asaka
You're pretty good.
[15:27] Asaka
Although I don't believe
you're as good as Toshiki Kai...
[15:30] Miwa
But I've beaten somebody
who's beaten Kai before.
[15:34] Shin
Now that he mentions it...
[15:37] Misaki
I somewhat remember that...
[15:39] Asaka
You say Kai lost?
[15:41] Asaka
According to my leader,
[15:43] Asaka
Toshiki Kai was invincible,
the strongest fighter around.
[15:48] Asaka
Well, whatever...
[15:49] Asaka
I'll beat you and then verify that for myself!
[15:52] Asaka
Ride!
[15:59] Asaka
Golden Beast Tamer!
[16:05] Asaka
Imaginary Gift!
[16:06] Asaka
Accel!
[16:09] Asaka
Lend me a hand.
[16:10] Asaka
Nitro Juggler!
[16:15] Asaka
Nitro Juggler's skill!
[16:18] Asaka
We have another present for you.
[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

Twin drive!

[17:04] Asaka
Second check!
[17:05] Asaka
Critical trigger!
[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.

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...

Heyo! I'm Kawanami, the Team Asteroid dog!
