There are various theories
regarding Akechi Mitsuhide's age.
[00:05] Teacher

Nobunaga?!

[00:08] Teacher
Some say Akechi was already old when they met,
[00:11] Teacher
while other think he was young at the time.
[00:14] Teacher
There's no general agreement.

Hey! I haven't dismissed the class yet!

[00:49] Shin
Listen, I'm the manager here!
[00:54] Shin
So no matter what you do,
you have to be the sub manager!
[00:58] Shin
Sub Manager!
[01:00] Shin
So, did any suspicious guys
come around while I was out?
[01:05] Shin
It's a suspicious guy!
[01:07] Rive
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[01:09] Rive
It's me!
[01:12] Shin
M-Master?!
[01:14] Rive
The doors weren't locked.
[01:15] Shin
Seriously?!
[01:17] Rive
What do you mean to do
if someone from Esuka comes?
[01:19] Rive
You're as green as always...
[01:21] Rive
...Lemon.
[01:23] Shin
If you think I'll always be wet behind the ears,
you've got another thing coming!

Tatsuya! Are you here for something?
[01:36] Tatsuya
Shindou...
SIGN Card Capital: Defend It to the End Oppose the Evil Esuka Group's Oppression! No Foreclosures
[01:37] Tatsuya
U-Um, I wanted to ask Shinemon a favor...
[01:41] Tatsuya
How about you, Shindou?
[01:42] Mikuru
I came here looking for my brother.
[01:47] Mikuru
So he is here...
[01:49] Shin
You beat me!
[01:52] Mikuru
Bro, you lunkhead!
[01:54] Rive
Mikuru, what's up?
[01:56] Mikuru
Don't give me, "what's up"!
[01:58] Mikuru
You left to go shopping and never came back.
[02:01] Mikuru
And now I find you goofing off Cardfighting!
[02:03] Mikuru
Where are the diapers?!
Also, remember to charge your Smartphone!
[02:07] Rive
Oops...
[02:14] Mikuru
And you, Shinemon...
[02:16] Shin
Wh-What?
[02:17] Mikuru
Tatsuya wanted to ask you a favor.
[02:19] Shin
Oh? Need dinner?
[02:21] Tatsuya
N-No, that's not it.
[02:24] Tatsuya
Um...
[02:26] Tatsuya
Please make me your disciple!
[02:30] Shin
Disciple?!
[02:33] Tatsuya
Yes!
SIGN Remind 2 Welcome to Esuka!!
[04:10] Shin
M-My disciple?
[04:13] Tatsuya
Yes.
[04:14] Mikuru
I'd better check your temperature...
[04:16] Mikuru
You may have a bad cold.
[04:18] Shin
Hey!
[04:20] Mikuru
What's so great about this thoughtless guy?
[04:23] Tatsuya
The way he acts unthinkingly.
[04:27] Tatsuya
A lot of times, I can't act because
I think too much about everything.
[04:32] Tatsuya
But that day, Shinemon took on
Esuka Hibino as an equal.
[04:42] Tatsuya
Besides...
[04:43] Tatsuya
...his fight with Mark yesterday was awesome!
[04:47] Tatsuya
Please take me on as your disciple!
[04:49] Shin
Easy for you to ask...
[04:52] Shin
Tatsuya! Whether I make you my disciple
or not, let's fight each other once.
[04:57] Tatsuya
Sure!
[05:06] Shin
Tatsuya...
[05:07] Shin
Do you know why you lost?
[05:10] Shin
You're so focused on perfect guards
that you use more cards than you need to.
[05:16] Shin
You kept doing that.
[05:18] Shin
Don't be afraid!
[05:20] Shin
What's important is not getting
dominated by your opponent's imagination.
[05:24] Tatsuya
Imagination?
[05:25] Shin
Be assertive and rewrite that imagination!
[05:30] Tatsuya
Right!
[05:31] Shin
Well, shall we do it again?
[05:33] Tatsuya
Yes!
[05:39] Esuka
Careless of you to leave your door unlocked.
[05:42] Mikuru
Esuka Hibino!
[05:43] Shin
Shoot! I let the invaders in?!
[05:46] Esuka
Relax. I came here to talk.
[05:49] Shin
To talk?
[05:50] Esuka
Yes. Watch what's inside.
[05:53] Esuka
Then you'll understand
what the Esuka Group is all about.
[05:57] Esuka (audio)
Card Shop Esuka!
[06:00] Esuka (audio)
Making a leap forward
across Japan and the world!
[06:03] Esuka (audio)
The world's largest
card shop chain, Card Shop...
[06:06] Esuka (audio)
...Esuka!
[06:08] Esuka (audio)
With the largest assortment
of merchandise in the world!
[06:11] Esuka (audio)
From beginners to world champions,
everyone can enjoy the ultimate Card Shop...
[06:17] Esuka (audio)
...Esuka!
[06:19] Esuka
And now...
[06:20] Esuka
If you become a member of Esuka, you'll receive
a member's card and this beginner's deck.
[06:26] Esuka
Could you offer that at this shop?
[06:30] Shin
I have no intention of shutting this place down.
[06:33] Esuka
I only want to change the sign.
[06:35] Esuka
If you all keep coming here just as
you have been, you can enjoy Vanguard.
[06:41] Esuka
After all, wouldn't you rather enjoy fighting,
without having to worry about running the shop?
[06:48] Rive
Huh. This is a nice deck case.
[06:51] Rive
Why not keep it at least?
[06:53] Shin
Like I need this junk!
[06:55] Shin
I just want to keep Card Capital as it is!
[06:59] Shin
I'm not going to let it become Esuka!
[07:01] Shin
Take your stuff and get out of here!
[07:05] Esuka
Such a child.
[07:06] Esuka
Just think it over--
[07:08] Shin
Manager!
[07:15] Butler
Esuka!
[07:17] Esuka
I-I-I'll leave for now.
[07:21] Esuka
If you change your mind,
come see me anytime.
[07:24] Esuka
I'll be in the president's office
at Esuka headquarters.
[07:27] Shin
I'll never set foot in there!
[07:31] Tatsuya
You chased her off again. Fascinating!
[07:35] Mikuru
So you named that cat Manager?
[07:38] Shin
No! Its name is "Sub Manager"!
[07:42] Shin
But it'll only respond to Manager.
[07:44] Mikuru
Manager!
[07:48] Rive
Oh, that's right!
[07:49] Rive
I need to buy diapers!
[07:51] Rive
I just remembered!
[07:53] Mikuru
I knew it! You forgot them!
[07:57] Mark
Rive! You're leaving already?
[07:59] Rive
See you!
[08:00] Mark
That was weird...
[08:02] Shin
You're late, Mark!
[08:04] Mark
Sh-Shinemon!
[08:06] Mark
Who had cleaning duty today?!
[08:08] Shin
C-Cleaning duty...?
[08:11] Shin
You mean...
[08:12] Shin
...you did it in my place?!
[08:14] Mark
Yesss!
[08:15] Mark
And that's not all!
[08:18] Mark
To mollify our raging teacher,
[08:21] Mark
I had to put his slippers
inside my jacket to warm them up!
[08:25] Shin
Who are you, Hideyoshi?!
[08:28] Mark
KA-POW!
[08:29] Shin
S-Sorry, Mark!
[08:30] Mark
Be more careful!
[08:32] Mark
Even the punches to a sandbag will hurt.
[08:34] Shin
Please, don't hit me!
[08:37] Tatsuya
You meant, even the patience
of a saint will run out.
[08:40] Mark
Oh, Tatsuya! You're here, too?!
[08:43] Tatsuya
Yes. I want to become Shinemon's disciple.
[08:47] Mark
Disciple?!
[08:48] Mark
Oh! How wonderful!
[08:51] Mark
After many years of training,
you'll receive the secrets of the art!
[08:58] Shin
There's no secrets to it!
[09:00] Shin
All right, Tetsuya!
[09:02] Shin
Let's do it!
[09:03] Tatsuya
Right!

Stand up, Vanguard!

[09:07] Shin
What the hey?!
[09:10] Mikuru
What's wrong?
[09:11] Mark
Oh, a new deck, huh?
[09:13] Shin
N-No! This isn't my deck!
[09:17] Shin
What's going on here?!
[09:18] Shin
I'm sure my deck was
right here just a minute ago!
[09:21] Shin
How did it get switched so quickly?!
[09:25] Shin
Could it be...
[09:26] Shin
...I've acquired the secrets of the art?!
[09:29] Mikuru
Of course not, Super-Silly Cinnamon!
[09:32] Tatsuya
Um, didn't Esuka Hibino
bring over a deck as a present?
[09:37] Mikuru
Come to think of it, my lunkhead brother
took the deck out of the case...
[09:44] Tatsuya
Maybe you put the wrong one back?
[09:45] Mikuru
That's it!
[09:46] Mikuru
That's the only reasonable explanation.
[09:48] Shin
Then where's my deck?!
[10:00] Shin
Oh no!
[10:01] Shin
Of all places for my deck to end up!
Right in Esuka's hands!
[10:05] Tatsuya
What's going to happen to it?!
[10:06] Mikuru
She'll probably give it
as a present to a new member.
[10:10] Mikuru
I'm sure she didn't notice
that the deck was switched.
[10:13] Shin
No! I put my heart and soul into that deck!
[10:17] Mark
Since it's already been opened,
she may just dispose of it.
[10:22] Tatsuya
Um, why not explain the situation
to Esuka and have her give it back to you?
[10:26] Shin
That's the last thing I would do!
[10:29] Shin
"If you want me to give it back,
then give me your shop."
[10:32] Shin
What else would she say?!
[10:35] Mikuru
Then you'll just give up on the deck?
[10:37] Shin
Of course I'm not giving up on it!
[10:40] Shin
Since it's come to this...
[10:42] Shin
...I'll sneak into the president's office
at Esuka headquarters and steal my deck back!
[11:04] Shin
This must be...
[11:06] Shin
...Esuka headquarters.
[11:08] Mark
Verily, this is the place.
[11:10] Mark
Let's go!
[11:14] Shin
Where's the president's office?
[11:15] Mark
I have been a ninja for 18 years,
so leave this task to me!
[11:21] Mark
Pardon me!
[11:22] Mark
Where is the president's office?
[11:24] Shin
Through the front door?!
[11:29] Shin
There are the elevators!
[11:31] Shin
That one must go directly
to the president's office!
[11:34] Shin
All right!
[11:35] ReceptionistA
Excuse me, gentlemen?
[11:38] ReceptionistA
That elevator only goes to the top floors.
[11:42] ReceptionistA
It's reserved for the president
and those who have been given an S Card.
[11:45] ReceptionistA
No one else is allowed to use it.
[11:47] Shin
An S Card?!
[11:48] ReceptionistA
Yes.
[11:49] Mark
What should we do, Shinemon?
[11:52] ReceptionistB
Excuse me, are you Shinemon Nitta?
[11:56] ReceptionistB
The president has instructed us to contact her
immediately if Mr. Nitta came to see her.
[12:03] Shin
No, no!
[12:04] Shin
I'm definitely not that suspicious
high school student Nitta!
[12:09] ReceptionistB
High school student...?
[12:10] Mark
This is going badly...
[12:12] Shin
We've gotta make a run for that elevator!
[12:15] ReceptionistA
Excuse me.
[12:17] ReceptionistA
Surely you weren't intending to use
that elevator without permission...
[12:23] ReceptionistA
But if you did have that in mind...
SIGN Card Capital: Defend It to the End Oppose the Evil Esuka Group's Oppression! No Foreclosures
[12:32] Tatsuya
Will Shinemon be okay?
[12:35] Mikuru
He was the one who said he wouldn't
set foot in the president's office,
[12:39] Mikuru
but he's ended up going over there.
[12:41] Mikuru
He'll probably fight her, too.
[12:44] Tatsuya
You don't play Vanguard yourself, Shindou?
[12:48] Mikuru
It's just, the fighters I know...
[12:54] Mikuru
...are all weirdos!
[12:55] Mikuru
So I have the feeling that if I started
playing Vanguard, I'd end up just like them.
[13:00] Tatsuya
I don't think that would happen.
[13:03] Mikuru
Huh? Where's Sub Manager?
[13:09] Nanami
Huh?
[13:10] Nanami
I thought I heard a kitten meowing...
[13:14] Tonori
Just your imagination.
[13:20] Shin
Who are they?!
[13:23] ReceptionistA
S Rank members.
[13:26] ReceptionistA
They both fought before the president,
so they each received an S Card.
[13:32] Shin
I see.
[13:33] Shin
So!
[13:34] Shin
How does one become an S Rank member?
[13:38] ReceptionistA
Well, this building is separated
into fight floors, according to skill level.
SIGN C Rank
[13:44] ReceptionistA
If the floor leader gives permission,
the member moves up a rank.
SIGN B Rank
SIGN A Rank
SIGN S Rank
[13:47] ReceptionistA
In the end, if Esuka Hibino approves,
they can become an S Rank member.
[13:54] Shin
So I just have to keep winning, right?
[13:56] Mark
Shinemon, you have a deck?
[13:58] Shin
The one Esuka left behind.
[14:00] Mark
Well then!
[14:03] Shin
We start with the first checkpoint.
[14:06] Mark
They're all kids...
[14:09] Shin
Well, this is the beginners' floor.
[14:12] Floor LeaderA
Hi, guys. Is this your first time here?
[14:16] Mark
Verily!
[14:17] Shin
Are you the floor leader?
[14:19] Floor LeaderA
Yeah, that's right...
[14:21] Shin
I'm Nitta--
[14:22] Mark
He means...
[14:23] Shin
...the Fighter With No Name!
[14:25] Shin
Bring it on!
[14:28] Mark
Let us make this...
SIGN Fair Fight
[14:30] Mark
...a fair fight!
[14:32] Shin
The finishing stroke!
[14:34] Floor LeaderA
That was a great fight!
[14:36] Floor LeaderA
You clearly don't belong
on the beginners' floor.
[14:39] Floor LeaderA
You may go up to the next one.
[14:41] Shin
Thank you very much!
[14:43] Floor LeaderB
I'm impressed!
[14:45] Floor LeaderB
Go on up to the next floor!
[14:47] Shin
Thank you!
[14:49] Floor LeaderC
Go on up!
[14:50] Shin
Thank you!
[14:51] Floor LeaderD
Go up!
[14:52] Shin
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
[14:54] Tonori
Huh...?
[14:56] Nanami
White Lily Musketeer, Cecilia attacks.
[14:59] Tonori
Wh-What?!
[15:01] Tonori
Perfect guard with Halo Shield, Mark.
[15:04] Nanami
So, what were you saying?
[15:06] Nanami
There's a fighter steadily
moving his way up the ranks?
[15:08] Floor LeaderE
Yes. Actually, two of them.
[15:11] Floor LeaderE
I don't know their names,
since they're both here on a trial visit.
[15:15] Nanami
Strong fighters are always welcome,
[15:18] Nanami
but I'm not happy about
Esuka headquarters being made light of.
[15:21] Tonori
Yeah.
[15:23] Nanami
Yeah.
[15:24] Shin
We're almost there!
[15:27] Delinquent
You punk!
[15:28] Delinquent
Why won't you promote me to S Rank already?!
[15:33] Floor LeaderF
I... I told you...!
Your skill isn't up to S-Rank level!
[15:38] Floor LeaderF
Wasn't the last fight enough proof of that?!
[15:41] Delinquent
You askin' to get hurt, punk?!
[15:43] Floor LeaderF
Besides, I couldn't send someone
with boorish behavior up to see Esuka!
[15:49] Delinquent
Say what?!
[15:50] Shin
Okay then!
[15:51] Shin
Pardon me.
[15:53] Shin
You're the floor leader, right?
[15:56] Shin
Would you fight me?
[15:58] Delinquent
Hey, butt out!
[16:00] Shin
What?! You're in my way!
[16:03] Shin
I must get to the
president's office, immediately!
[16:06] Floor LeaderF
The president's office?
[16:08] Mark
Correct! He happens to be
a huge fan of President Esuka Hibino!
[16:12] Mark
Verily, it is his dream to achieve S Rank
and then meet the president!
[16:16] Shin
That isn't my dream!
[16:20] Nanami
Who are the anonymous fighters
racing their way up through the ranks?
[16:26] Nanami
I feel like I've seen you somewhere before...
[16:29] Tonori
Weren't they the guys
giving the receptionists a hard time?
[16:32] Shin
You're those S Rank members!
[16:35] Tonori
Your speedrun ends here.
[16:37] Nanami
We'll see just how good you are.
[16:39] Shin
Great, I'll be happy to show you!
[16:42] Mark
You should calm down, Shinemon.
[16:44] Mark
They are S Rank.
[16:46] Mark
The chances of you
beating them with that beginner's deck...
[16:50] Mark
...are verily worse than
the Battle of Okehazama!
[16:53] Shin
I see.
[16:55] Mark
Leave them to me.
[16:57] Shin
Got it. I'm counting on you.
[17:01] Mark
Greetings!
[17:02] Mark
For certain reasons,
I am unable to reveal my name,
[17:05] Mark
but I have come here with a purpose.
[17:09] Mark
You may call me Ninja Master!
[17:12] Nanami
I'm Nanami Gonomi.
[17:14] Tonori
Tonori Fujinami.
[17:16] Mark
Tonoris?!
[17:17] Mark
Tono!
[17:20] Mark
My lord! Please forgive my rudeness!
[17:22] Mark
Verily, a ninja must never
turn his blade upon a lord!
[17:27] Mark
Oh, Tono!
[17:29] Nanami
What will you do?
[17:31] Nanami
It looks like your friend's surrendered.
[17:35] Shin
What'll I do?!
[17:37] Shin
No... wait a sec.
[17:40] Shin
I didn't come here looking for a fight.
[17:44] Shin
All I want to do is get my deck back.
[17:47] Shin
So, then...
[17:49] Nanami
What are you muttering about?
[17:51] Shin
Aren't you...
[17:55] Shin
...a cat-lover?
[17:57] Nanami
Wh-What are you talking about?!
[17:59] Shin
You did hear a cat meow downstairs.
[18:03] Nanami
Huh?
[18:05] Nanami
I thought I heard a kitten meowing...
[18:08] Shin
Only a true cat-lover would notice that!
[18:13] Shin
To think a cat-lover like you
would be so close to Esuka Hibino, a cat-hater!
[18:18] Shin
Now, what would happen if Esuka ever found out?
[18:22] Nanami
Are you threatening me?!
[18:23] Shin
I could keep my mouth shut,
depending on the circumstances.
[18:26] Shin
I'd even place that kitten's
paw pads right here.
[18:29] Nanami
Th-that kitten's...
[18:31] Nanami
...paw pads?!
[18:33] Shin
I just wanna go to the president's office.
[18:36] Shin
Lend me your S Card.
[18:37] Nanami
R-Ridiculous! I can't do that!
[18:40] Shin
Are you sure about that?
[18:44] Shin
Look!
[18:46] Nanami
P-Paw pads!
[18:48] Nanami
But I can't! I could never betray Esuka!
[18:54] Nanami
Th-That's playing dirty!
[18:56] Shin
So, what's it going to be?
[18:58] Shin
The paw pads are right here...
[18:59] Shin
Well? Well? Well?!
[19:03] Nanami
Forgive me, Esuka!
[19:08] Shin
You keep her company, Sub Manager!
[19:10] Shin
I mean Manager!
[19:13] Nanami
Yay!
[19:14] Nanami
Aww, I'm in heaven!
[19:21] Shin
Let's go, Mark!
[19:25] Shin
All right! Is this the president's office?
[19:28] Shin
Where is it? Where's my deck?!
[19:36] Shin
These are...!
[19:43] Shin
I'll look elsewhere...
[19:47] Shin
Double doors!
[19:49] Shin
Suspicious!
[19:53] Esuka
Oh!
[19:54] Shin
Why is there a bath in the president's office?!
[19:57] Esuka
This is my private suite.
[20:00] Esuka
The president's office is upstairs.
[20:02] Shin
Whatever, just cover yourself!
[20:05] Esuka
Being looked at by a child like you
doesn't faze me in the least.
[20:08] Shin
Darn it!
[20:11] Mark
Where were you?
[20:12] Mark
It's in there...
[20:15] Shin
Yes! It's my deck, Mark!
[20:19] Shin
Let's get outta here!
[20:23] Shin
Here! Sorry.
[20:24] Shin
Return this to a girl named Nanami.
[20:27] Shin
Thanks!
[20:28] Delinquent
Hey.
[20:29] Delinquent
You made me look like a chump earlier.
[20:33] Delinquent
If you wanna get past me...
[20:35] Shin
Of course you want to fight, right?
[20:37] Shin
Sure! Now I've got this!
[20:41] Shin
Let's go, partner!
[20:44] Shin/Delinquent
Stand up, Vanguard!
[20:49] Shin
Uranus's skill activates!
[20:51] Shin
I got an Imaginary Gift, Force I!
[20:58] Mark
That is the fifth Imaginary Force!
[21:01] Mark
And that means...
[21:04] Shin
...Circle Shift!
[21:06] Shin
Once Uranus has five Imaginary Gifts,
[21:09] Shin
the rear guard circle behind
the Vanguard becomes the Astral Plane!
[21:15] Shin
And standing on that Astral Plane is...
[21:26] Shin
Rewrite the imagination!
[21:30] Shin
O great planetary guardian deity!
[21:32] Shin
Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
[21:41] Shin
Valkerion, Zodiac Blazer!
[21:51] Mark
That's the game!
[21:53] The Two
And we're off!
[22:00] Esuka
Those boys...
[22:02] Esuka
Why on earth did they come here?
[22:06] Esuka
Well?
[22:07] Esuka
What do you think?
[23:46] Narrator
The 30-second card intro segment!
[23:48] Narrator
Today's featured card
is Shinemon Nitta's ace in the hole,
SIGN Gleaming Lord, Uranus
[23:51] Narrator
Gleaming Lord, Uranus!
[23:53] Narrator
With its skill, the player
can obtain Imaginary Gift Force!
[23:56] Narrator
If it appears by being ridden,
the player gets two Forces at once!
[24:00] Narrator
And if there are five or more Forces
on the Vanguard Circle,
[24:03] Narrator
the rear guard circle behind this unit
becomes the Astral Plane!
[24:05] Narrator
There, you can summon the ultra-powerful unit
Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
[24:11] Narrator
With this card, you too can
"Ride the Vanguard"!
SIGN Ride the Vanguard!
[24:15] Tatsuya
Shindou, your big brother said he was
going to buy diapers. Does that mean...?
[24:19] Mikuru
That's right! My dumb brother is a new dad.
[24:23] Mikuru
He's a baby boy with adorable bangs,
[24:25] Mikuru
just like a beautiful Lemniscate of Bernoulli.
[24:28] Tatsuya
Huh?
[24:28] Mikuru
That comes from Jakob Bernoulli,
not the Bernoulli of Bernoulli's Principle.
[24:32] Mikuru
Oh, Bernoulli's Principle is the one
that explains how airplanes fly.
[24:35] Tatsuya
I don't follow...
[24:37] Mikuru
If you're not familiar with the Lemniscate
of Bernoulli, I doubt I can describe it to you.
SIGN Dimension 3
First Time Holding the Fort
[24:40] Rive
I'd call it a mosquito coil.
[24:42] Mikuru
That's an Archimedean spiral!
