**[00:01] Kai**
My name is Toshiki Kai.
**[00:03] Kai**
According to Takuto Tatsunagi,
I have another life.
**[00:09] Kai**
The only way I can get
to the truth is by fighting!
**[00:13] Kai**
Goodbye, Mom and Dad.
**[00:27] Kai**
A dream?

Encounter with Overlord
**[02:19] Kamui**
Watch where you're going, jerk!
**[02:22] Kai**
S-Sorry.
**[02:25] Kamui**
Oh no! My cards!
**[02:32] Kai**
Vanguard...
**[02:33] Kamui**
Ya know Vanguard?
**[02:35] Kai**
Yeah.
**[02:36] Kamui**
I'm on my way to the shop over there.
**[02:39] Kamui**
Wanna come with?
**[02:43] Kamui**
Sorry for putting ya on the spot.
**[02:45] Kamui**
You've probably got stuff to do.
**[02:47] Kai**
Nothing in particular.
**[02:50] Kamui**
Then there's no time like the present!
**[02:56] Kamui**
My name's Kamui Katsuragi! What's yours?
**[03:00] Kai**
I'm...
**[03:03] Kamui**
So this guy is Toshiki Kai.
**[03:06] Shin**
Welcome to Card Capital.
**[03:08] Shin**
I'm the manager, Shin Nitta.
**[03:13] Shin**
Is something wrong?
**[03:14] Kai**
Didn't this used to be a croquette shop?
**[03:17] Kamui**
What're ya talking about?!
**[03:19] Shin**
I know what you mean!
**[03:20] Shin**
I've had the oddest feeling that
I used to knead croquettes until recently.
**[03:25] Kamui**
Not you too, Manager?
**[03:28] Kamui**
Anyway, Kai, come fight me!
**[03:38] Kamui**
Something the matter?
**[03:40] Kai**
I don't have a deck on me.
**[03:43] Shin**
I can lend you one.
**[03:45] Kamui**
Sweet!
**[03:46] Kai**
No, I don't--
**[03:48] Shin**
Which clan do you use?
**[03:50] Kai**
Royal Paladin.
**[03:53] Kai**
Did I say something wrong?
**[03:55] Shin**
Sorry. For some reason,
I expected you to say "Kagero."
**[04:01] Kamui**
You too, Manager? So did I.
**[04:03] Kamui**
I wonder why.
**[04:06] Kai**
Kagero...
**[04:08] Shin**
Then I'll get you a Royal Paladin deck.
**[04:11] Kai**
Wait.
**[04:14] Kai**
Could I use a Kagero deck?
**[04:16] Shin**
S-Sure.
**[04:28] Shin**
Have you ever fought using Kagero before?
**[04:30] Kai**
This is my first time... I think.
**[04:34] Shin**
Then I'll start by telling you its attributes.
**[04:36] Morikawa**
Like they say, you learn better by doing.
**[04:41] Kamui**
Morikawa! Don't act like a big shot!
**[04:44] Morikawa**
Kamui, I've told you before that
you gotta be more polite to me.
**[04:48] Kamui**
Why should I be polite to ya?!
**[04:51] Shin**
Kamui, a middle schooler, stopped being
polite to Morikawa, a high schooler,
**[04:56] Shin**
after Kamui handily beat the "Mighty Morikawa."
**[05:02] Shin**
And they've been at odds ever since.
**[05:06] Kamui**
He must've just parroted something he heard.
**[05:09] Kai**
Parroted?
**[05:10] Kamui**
What Morikawa said: "You learn better by doing."
**[05:15] Kai**
You learn better by doing...
**[05:18] Kai**
You learn better by doing.
**[05:24] Morikawa**
But I don't remember who told me that.
**[05:28] Kai**
It may have been me...
**[05:30] Izaki**
Aren't you Kai, from second-year?
**[05:34] Inenaga**
Oh, yeah. You play Vanguard?
**[05:37] Kai**
I used to, a little.
**[05:40] Morikawa**
Then I'll play you.
**[05:43] Kamui**
What's the big idea, Morikawa?!
**[05:45] Morikawa**
You're this shop's strongest fighter, right?
**[05:47] Morikawa**
That makes me a more fitting opponent
for someone who just used to play a little.
**[05:52] Kamui**
Jerk, you just wanna fight, don't ya?
**[05:59] Kai (M)**
To be honest, I'm scared to fight.
**[06:02] Kai (M)**
But...
**[06:03] Morikawa**
L-Let's have a good match.
**[06:06] Kai**
Yeah, let's.
**[06:09] Emi**
Looks like they're going to fight.
**[06:11] Shuka**
I wonder...
**[06:13] Kai**
Who... are you?!
**[06:18] Shuka**
Will he get like that again?
**[06:21] Suiko**
It'll be fine.
**[06:22] Suiko**
Well, I wish I could say for sure,
but he does seem different from then.
**[06:28] Emi**
Yeah.
**[06:32] Suiko (M)**
Ibuki... Where did you go?
**[06:36] Kamui**
E-Excuse me...
**[06:39] Kamui**
Is this your first time here?
**[06:41] Emi**
Oh, um...
**[06:43] Emi**
Kamui!
**[06:45] Kamui**
How do you know my name?
**[06:50] Emi**
Um, uh...
**[06:52] Suiko**
You heard someone call him
Kamui earlier, right, Emi?
**[06:56] Emi**
Y-Yes! That's right!
**[06:59] Kamui**
S-So your name is Emi?!
**[07:01] Kamui**
What a lovely name! It suits you perfectly!
**[07:04] Morikawa**
Shut up, Kamui!
**[07:06] Morikawa**
Our fight's starting, so pay attention.
**[07:08] Kamui**
Like I owe ya my attention, Morikawa!
**[07:12] Emi**
That was close...
**[07:20] Kai**
Stand up the Vanguard!
**[07:20] Morikawa**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[07:27] Miwa**
What's wrong, Yellow? You seem upset.
**[07:31] Kourin**
It's Aichi!
**[07:33] Kourin**
He's suffering!
**[07:38] Shingo**
For what reason?
**[07:40] Kourin**
I suspect...
**[07:41] Naoki**
Toshiki Kai...
**[07:43] Miwa**
Is it because he's fighting?
**[07:47] Kourin**
That shows us how badly Aichi wants
Toshiki Kai to stay away from Vanguard.
**[07:52] Kourin**
If we don't bring him into custody
here in Sanctuary soon...
**[07:55] Shingo**
I see that it's finally my turn.
**[07:59] Shingo**
Pink, Orange...
**[08:01] Shingo**
Observe and learn.
**[08:03] Shingo**
You'll find out which one of us
is really useful to Aichi!
**[08:22] Kai (M)**
My First Vanguard is Lizard Runner, Undeux.
**[08:25] Morikawa**
All right! It's your turn.
**[08:29] Kai**
I draw!
**[08:30] Kai**
I ride Embodiment of Armor, Bahr!
**[08:33] Kai**
I call Dragon Monk, Gojo!
**[08:36] Kai**
Bahr attacks your Vanguard!
**[08:38] Morikawa**
No guard.
**[08:44] Kai**
I ride Dragon Armored Knight!
**[08:47] Kai (M)**
Even though it's my first time using
this deck, I know how to fight with it!
**[08:51] Kai**
I call Dragon Knight, Nehalem!
**[08:54] Kai (M)**
So I have fought with Kagero before!
**[08:57] Kai**
Nehalem attacks your Vanguard!
**[09:01] Kai (M)**
But against whom?
**[09:08] Kai (M)**
Aichi Sendou?
**[09:12] Kai (M)**
I'm sure of it. I must have fought him here!
**[09:17] Morikawa**
What's wrong?
**[09:21] Morikawa**
Hey!
**[09:24] Morikawa**
What? Done with your turn?
**[09:27] Kai**
Oh, sorry. Gojo boosts.
**[09:31] Kai**
Dragon Armored Knight attacks your Vanguard!
**[09:34] Emi**
It looks like Kai is having fun.
**[09:36] Shuka**
Yeah, that's what it looks like to me, too.
**[09:39] Suiko**
S-Say, Emi, Shuka.
**[09:42] Suiko**
How long has he been standing there?
**[09:47] Shingo**
All the Vanguard items in this store
have me ready to lose my mind.
**[09:51] Emi**
It's him!
**[09:52] Shingo**
Ulp!
**[09:52] Emi**
He's part of SK4!
**[09:54] Shuka**
I believe that mushroom head is... Cream Soda!
**[09:58] Shingo**
Who are you calling Cream Soda?!
**[10:00] Shingo**
I am--
**[10:01] Shin**
EXCUSE me!
**[10:03] Shin**
No yelling... if you please.
**[10:07] The Three**
S-Sorry...
**[10:09] Morikawa**
Juggernaut Maximum attacks your Vanguard!
**[10:13] Kai**
I guard with Red Gem Carbuncle!
**[10:16] Morikawa**
Drat! It's your turn!
**[10:18] Kai**
Okay. Stand and draw!
**[10:28] Kai**
Dragonic... Overlord...
**[10:38] Kamui**
He's not moving.
**[10:40] Shin**
Maybe he drew an ace in the hole.
**[10:44] Shin**
Imagine it!
**[10:47] Kai**
Imagine?
**[10:50] Shin**
The strength of imagination
is the strength of Vanguard!
**[10:56] Kai**
Imagination will become your strength.
**[11:01] Kai**
Imagination will become my strength...
**[11:10] Shingo**
Wh-What is this?!
**[11:13] Morikawa**
What the...?!
**[11:29] Kai**
Is this the planet Cray?!
**[11:36] Shin**
Is this...?
**[11:37] Suiko**
I don't believe it.
**[11:38] Emi**
Where are we...?
**[11:41] Shingo**
What is this place?
**[11:48] Morikawa**
Here he comes!
**[11:51] Kai**
Right now I'm a weak astral body.
**[11:54] Kai**
So what I have to do is...
**[11:56] Kai**
To me!
**[12:04] Kamui**
Hey Manager, I think that's Kai's...
**[12:07] Shin**
Yes, it must be!
**[12:19] Kai**
Ride the Vanguard!
**[12:23] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord!
**[12:35] Kai**
Let's go!
**[12:36] Shingo**
Halt!
**[12:41] Shingo**
I don't know why, but this annoys me to no end!
**[12:45] Shingo**
Stop this nonsen--
**[12:47] Kai**
Don't interrupt!
**[12:51] Shingo**
Ahh! Hot!
**[12:53] Shingo**
Hot-hot-hot! That's too hot!
**[13:04] Shingo**
How dare you humiliate me, impudent rascal!
**[13:08] Kai**
Are you another member of SK4?
**[13:12] Shingo**
Indeed! I am the one they call Cream Tornado!
**[13:18] Shingo**
And now, I shall teach you all a lesson!
**[13:39] Kai**
Move your foot!
**[13:45] Shingo**
Is there something about that card?
**[13:48] Kai**
It may not mean anything to you people,
but to me, this card is...
**[13:53] Shingo**
What is it to you?
**[13:56] Shingo**
As I understand it, you only played
Vanguard back in grade school.
**[13:59] Shingo**
You shouldn't care about it now.
**[14:03] Kai**
No...
**[14:11] Kai**
I like Vanguard!
**[14:15] Kai**
And more than anything,
I love this Dragonic Overlord!
**[14:19] Shingo**
That's taking the joke too far!
**[14:21] Shingo**
You used Royal Paladin back in grade school.
**[14:26] Shingo**
So why would you say you "love" a Kagero card?!
**[14:31] Shingo**
Why?!
**[14:34] Kai**
Why *do* I feel this way about Overlord?
**[14:39] Kai (M)**
I wanted Overlord to spew its crimson flames
and incinerate the most painful days of my life.
**[14:45] Kai (M)**
That's how I felt back then.
**[14:47] Kai (M)**
Huh? "Most painful days"?
**[14:50] Young Kai**
Did something happen to them?
**[14:53] Uncle**
Your parents stole money from
the company and then vanished!
**[15:05] Young Kai**
You're lying!
**[15:08] Man**
I'm in a bind myself after
what that kid's parents did!
**[15:11] Man**
Honestly, I can't even
stand to see the name "Kai"!
**[15:14] Man**
Take him off my hands!
**[15:17] Kai (N)**
All I thought about back then
**[15:19] Kai (N)**
was how much I wished I could engulf
everything around me in crimson flames,
**[15:25] Kai (N)**
especially the adults who
lied to me through their teeth.
**[15:35] Takuto**
A life in which your father failed at business,
your parents disappeared,
**[15:39] Takuto**
and you spent a lonely childhood passed
from relative to relative like a hot potato,
**[15:43] Takuto**
with Vanguard as your only friend.
**[15:47] Takuto**
Have you ever imagined that other life?
**[15:53] Kai**
The "other life" that Takuto mentioned...
**[15:57] Kai**
I've actually experienced it.
**[16:00] Kai**
But if so, then is the life
I'm living right now... fake?
**[16:15] Kai (M)**
Then this place...
**[16:18] Kai (M)**
This place must be precious to these people.
**[16:24] Shingo**
After him!
**[16:28] Kai (M)**
No, it's also precious to me!
**[16:32] Kai (M)**
And I bet it's precious to him, too!
**[16:36] Shuka**
Vanguard is where miraculous cards
compete using the strength of imagination!
**[16:41] Emi**
And we as idols compete using
our beautiful imaginations, too!
**[16:45] Shuka**
No, silly! We are...
**[16:47] Emi**
...magical girls!
**[16:51] The Two**
Together we are the Blaster Pair!
**[16:54] Kamui**
Wait!
**[17:01] Kamui**
They vanished?
**[17:12] Kai**
Lend me strength!
**[17:14] Shuka**
Okay!
**[17:15] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[17:20] Emi**
Superior Realize!
**[17:29] Emi**
Blaster Blade!
**[17:34] Shingo**
An empty threat!
**[17:36] Shingo**
We'll capture you without fail!
**[17:49] Shingo**
What are you doing?!
**[17:51] Shingo**
You're only making Aichi's agony worse!
**[17:55] Kai**
Aichi's agony?
**[17:57] Shingo**
Precisely!
**[17:58] Shingo**
Whenever you Cardfight, Aichi suffers terribly!
**[18:03] Kai**
Aichi Sendou...
**[18:06] Aichi**
No Vanguard for you.
**[18:10] Kai**
Why is he suffering?!
**[18:12] Shingo**
W-Well, I don't know the reason why!
**[18:17] Kai**
That's no surprise.
**[18:19] Shingo**
No surprise?
**[18:21] Kai**
You don't know anything about him.
**[18:24] Shingo**
Th-That is not so!
**[18:26] Shingo**
I certainly know more than you!
**[18:28] Emi**
I know him!
**[18:31] Emi**
I know a lot about Aichi.
**[18:34] Emi**
But not the current Aichi. The *real* Aichi!
**[18:39] Emi**
Like how cute his smile is!
**[18:42] Shingo**
I-I myself know the cuteness of his smile!
**[18:51] Shingo**
Huh?
**[18:56] Shingo**
How very strange. Aichi may be my idol,
**[19:00] Shingo**
yet I can't remember him smiling!
**[19:03] Kai**
Wait, are you living a fake life, too?!
**[19:08] Shingo**
A fake life? Don't be ridiculous!
**[19:19] Shingo**
Covert Demonic Dragon, Magatsu Storm!
**[19:32] Shingo**
And now to finish you off!
**[19:38] Suiko**
Toshiki Kai!
**[19:40] Suiko**
Use that card! It responded to your imagination!
**[19:44] Shuka**
Emi! Elemental Calling!
**[19:50] Emi**
Realize!
**[19:55] Emi**
Dragonic Overlord!
**[20:06] Shuka**
Emi, here's this week's final card!
**[20:09] Emi**
Realize!
**[20:15] Emi**
Stealth Dragon, Shiranui!
**[20:20] Shingo**
What is that unit?!
**[20:22] Shuka**
Shiranui is a ninja from further
in the future than Magatsu Storm!
**[20:26] Shuka**
You use Nubatama, yet don't even know that?!
**[20:30] Shingo**
Wh-Who uses Nubatama?!
**[20:33] Shingo**
My head...
**[20:38] Kai**
Are you living a fake life, too?!
**[20:41] Shingo**
This can't be...
**[20:43] Kai**
Now!
**[20:56] Shuka**
He did it!
**[21:06] Shingo**
You won't beat Magatsu Storm that easily!
**[21:10] Shingo**
I swear I will get back at you for this!
**[21:34] Kai**
Are you sure you don't need it back?
**[21:40] Suiko**
Perhaps eventually, but why don't you
hold on to it until this is all over?
**[21:45] Suiko**
If it's hard to part with...
**[21:51] Shuka**
Where are you going?
**[21:53] Kai**
I don't know. But still...
**[21:56] Kai**
I have to go.
**[21:59] Kai**
For me, living a fake life isn't truly living.
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:49] Narrator**
Today's featured card is
Nubatama's Stealth Dragon, Shiranui!
***SIGN*** Stealth Dragon, Shiranui
**[23:53] Narrator**
When used as a rear-guard,
this unit gets +10,000 power!
**[23:56] Narrator**
And after it attacks, you can have one of your
opponent's rear-guards return to their hand,
**[24:00] Narrator**
and make them discard a unit from their hand!
**[24:02] Narrator**
Afterwards, Shiranui goes into the Soul.
**[24:04] Narrator**
But when it's the Vanguard,
you can discard one card from your hand
**[24:07] Narrator**
to ride Demon Stealth Dragon, Shiranui "Oboro"!
**[24:09] Narrator**
With this card, you too can
"Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:16] Kai**
Hello! I'm Toshiki Kai.
**[24:17] Kai**
How did you like today's episode of *Vanguard IF?*
**[24:19] Kai**
Was it fun?
**[24:22] Kai**
Aww, thank you!
**[24:24] Kai**
So next time, I encounter a certain young man.
**[24:27] Kai**
As well as the card he holds...
**[24:30] Kai**
And now for this week's promise.
**[24:32] Kai**
Remember how Dragonic Overlord and I
fought side by side today?
**[24:35] Kai**
We can do that because of who we are.
**[24:38] Kai**
But it would be dangerous for you to attempt,
**[24:40] Kai**
so promise me you won't try that at home.
***SIGN*** if 17
The End of Regrets
**[24:42] Kai**
Well, see you later!
