**[02:34] Esuka**
Are you a beginner? Don't worry!
**[02:37] Esuka**
You don't have to be a strong fighter!
**[02:42] Esuka**
Esuka will explain it all, just for you!
**[02:47] Esuka**

***SIGN*** Our Chain is Expanding
**[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!
**[13:20] Shin**
Prometheus of Dancing Lights!
**[13:24] Mark**
Riding Jutsu!
**[13:27] Mark**
Evil Stealth Dragon, Zangetsu!
**[13:30] Mark**
Followed by Ninja Art, Calling Jutsu!
Rally to me, Kurogiri!
**[13:36] Mark**
Kurogiri's skill activates!
**[13:39] Mark**
Ninja Art, Channeling Jutsu!
**[13:45] Tatsuya**
What are those?!
**[13:47] Mark**
Evil Decoy Tokens, verily!
**[13:49] Tatsuya**
Evil Decoy Tokens...
**[13:51] Mark**
In addition, Calling Jutsu!
**[13:53] Mark**
Rally to me, Stealth Beast,
Chigasumi and Kurogiri!
**[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!
**[16:22] Mark**
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.
***SIGN*** Remind 2
Welcome to Esuka!!
**[24:41] Mikuru**
Don't go making stuff up, Windbag Cinnamon!
