[00:01] Kai
    Just what is your scheme in
    bringing Team Asteroid to this town?
[00:06] Tetsu
    No scheme. It's just to stave off boredom.
[00:09] Kai
    Yours?
[00:10] Tetsu
    Don't get the wrong idea.
    It's all for Ren's sake.
[00:14] Kai
    It's to stave off Ren's boredom?
[00:17] Kai
    What do you mean?
[00:19] Tetsu
    Ren has reached the pinnacle
    of Vanguard strength.
[00:22] Tetsu
    He's already unbeatable.
[00:25] Tetsu
    No matter how many fights he churns through,
[00:28] Tetsu
    he's still left unsatisfied.
[00:31] Kai
    "The pinnacle of Vanguard strength"?
[00:33] Tetsu
    Yeah.
[00:35] Tetsu
    Ren has finally perfected...
[00:37] Tetsu
    ...PSYqualia.
[00:41] Aichi
    Vanguard.
[00:42] Aichi
    It's a card game in which you yourself
    become the vanguard and fight!
[00:47] Kai
    Imagine it!
    Imagination will become your strength!
[02:29] Kamui
    Is this place really a card shop?!
[02:32] Kyou
    Run home if you're spooked.
[02:34] Kamui
    I ain't spooked!
    I'm just trembling with excitement!
[02:37] Kyou
    This is our first Team Asteroid hunting site.
[02:39] Kyou
    You ready?
[02:43] Aichi
    Yeah.
SIGN    Image 17 A Jet Black Knight!! Blaster Dark
[02:52] Fighter A
    Huh?
[02:53] Fighter B
    Well, look who's here! The mighty Kyou!
[02:59] Kishida
    I heard that you lost a fight
    with somebody outside the team.
[03:05] Kishida
    You're a complete disgrace to Team Asteroid.
[03:09] Kyou
    If it isn't SL3's...
[03:12] Kyou
    ...Osamu Kishida.
[03:14] Aichi
    "SL3"?
[03:15] Kyou
    Second Limited Three.
[03:17] Kyou
    A trio within Team Asteroid
    considered the strongest group after AL4.
[03:22] Kamui
    So they're second-string players, huh?
[03:25] Kishida
    How rude!
[03:27] Kishida
    I may only be a member of
    Second Limited currently,
[03:30] Kishida
    but I've got much more talent than Kyou!
[03:34] Kyou
    Yet he always loses to me...
[03:36] Kishida
    Oh yeah? When did I lose?
[03:39] Kishida
    Which month, day, hour, minute,
    second, and revolution of the Earth?!
[03:43] Kamui
    Are you a little kid?
[03:44] Kishida
    Say what?!
[03:45] Kyou
    Fine, if you're that upset about it,
[03:48] Kyou
    then try fighting the guy who beat me.
[03:50] Kishida
    Kyou! Are you telling me
    that you lost to a grade schooler?!
[03:55] Kyou
    Not that one. This one.
[03:58] Kishida
    What? This boy defeated you?
[04:01] Aichi
    H-Hello.
[04:03] Fighter A
    Come on!
[04:04] Fighter A
    Seriously?!
[04:06] Fighter A
    You lost to this amateur?!
[04:08] Kyou
    Well, just try and fight him.
[04:11] Kyou
    Anyone who beats him can claim my spot in AL4.
[04:16] Kyou
    But can you beat him...?
[04:18] Kishida
    I'll take that challenge!
[04:19] Kishida
    We'll let this boy show us...
[04:22] Kishida
    ...just how talented he really is!
[04:25] Kyou
    All right. Sendou. Fight this guy.
[04:28] Kamui
    Hey! Address Brother Aichi with more respect!
[04:32] Aichi
    I'm Aichi Sendou.
[04:34] Aichi
    Promise me that, if I win,
    you won't bother this shop anymore.
[04:40] Fighter B
    Twerp! You seriously
    think you can beat Kishida?
[04:43] Fighter A
    He's totally strong!
    You'll be crying for your mommy!
[04:47] Aichi
    Please promise.
[04:49] Kishida
    Aichi...
[04:51] Kishida
    You have a less than 1% likelihood of winning.
[04:56] Kishida
    Do you still intend to play?
[04:59] Kyou
    He's definitely got it.
[05:02] Kyou
    The power to hear the units' voices
    and predict the future of a fight.
[05:06] Kyou
    PSYqualia!
[05:08] Kyou
    Show it to me so that I can surpass HIM.
[05:11] Kyou
    Show me your PSYqualia!
[05:14] The Two
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[05:19] Tetsu
    That's right.
[05:20] Tetsu
    Ren has become too strong.
[05:23] Tetsu
    Now, no matter who he fights,
    he shows none of the excitement he once had.
[05:30] Tetsu
    By now, if there's anyone
    who could fight Ren as an equal...
[05:34] Tetsu
    ...it's you, Toshiki Kai.
[05:36] Tetsu
    I believe you're the only one.
[05:39] Tetsu
    Or perhaps not even you
    could satisfy him at this point.
[05:45] Kai
    Don't try to bait me, Tetsu.
[05:48] Kai
    I'm not interested in PSYqualia.
[05:51] Kai
    The way he fights...
[05:54] Kai
    ...isn't serious at all!
[05:56] Kai
    That's right.
[05:57] Kai
    A serious fight is...
[06:00] Aichi
    You're the one who gave me
    the image of becoming stronger, Kai.
[06:04] Aichi
    So being able to fight like this
     makes me really happy!
[06:08] Aichi
    Here I come, Kai!
[06:13] Tetsu
    You're as strong as ever, Kai.
[06:16] Tetsu
    However...
[06:17] Tetsu
    ...there's been a major change
     in your attitude toward fights.
[06:21] Tetsu
    What could have caused that?
[06:24] Kai
    That's none of your business.
[06:28] Tetsu
    It doesn't matter.
[06:30] Tetsu
    Eventually, our Team Asteroid
    will remake the landscape of this world.
[06:36] Tetsu
    I'm sure the two of us
    will meet again during that process.
[06:41] Tetsu
    I look forward to it.
[06:52] Asaka
    Ohh, Ren!
[06:54] Asaka
    I'm so sorry I wasn't strong enough!
[06:59] Asaka
    I lost to that girl from this no-name shop!
[07:04] Asaka
    I'm unfit to be a member of Team Asteroid.
[07:07] Asaka
    If I'm to have any hope
    of you giving me another chance,
[07:11] Asaka
    I must take a journey of rediscovery!
[07:15] Ren
    Sure, whatever.
[07:16] Asaka
    He brushed me off...
[07:19] Shin
    Hey! That's too close!
[07:21] Ren
    Allow me to introduce myself.
[07:23] Ren
    My name is Ren Suzugamori.
[07:26] Ren
    What's your name?
[07:28] Misaki
    Misaki Tokura, why?
[07:31] Ren
    Misaki Tokura...
[07:33] Ren
    I greatly admire your strength.
[07:37] Ren
    Where you belong is by my side.
[07:40] Misaki
    Huh?!
[07:41] Miwa
    You mean...
[07:42] Shin
    Are you saying...
[07:46] Asteroids
    To the mighty Ren Suzugamori!
[07:54] Asaka
    You!
[07:55] Asaka
    You're trying to steal
    my position in AL4, aren't you?!
[07:59] Asaka
    You cat burglar!
[08:00] Misaki
    Who are you calling a cat burglar?!
SIGN    Sub Manager
[08:05] Ren
    Now, now...
[08:07] Ren
    Of course I'm still fond of you, Asaka.
[08:10] Asaka
    Oooh, thank you, Ren!
[08:13] Miwa
    Hey! Quit playing Casanova in this card shop!
[08:16] Misaki
    I have no desire to be by your side!
[08:18] Misaki
    And I'm not joining your club, either!
[08:20] Misaki
    And Team Asteroid was banned
    from this shop in the first place,
[08:24] Misaki
    so you'd better leave, now!
[08:26] Ren
    Man, what a problem...
[08:29] Misaki
    The problem is you!
[08:32] Ren
    Then, let's fight!
[08:34] Misaki
    What?!
[08:36] Ren
    If I win, we'll no longer be banned
    from this shop. Is that okay?
[08:41] Asaka
    Ren! Must you act so humbly?!
[08:45] Ren
    One can't be pushy in matters like this.
[08:48] Ren
    Let's be friends first, 'kay?
[08:53] Misaki
    All right.
[08:54] Shin
    Misaki?!
[08:56] Misaki
    I accept.
[08:58] Misaki
    Since this guy's the boss,
[09:01] Misaki
    that makes this the last fight!
[09:03] Misaki
    I'll make sure you never
    set foot in this shop again!
[09:06] Ren
    Stand up, The Vanguard!
[09:06] Misaki
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[09:11] Ren
    I ride Fullbau!
[09:15] Misaki
    I ride!
[09:18] Misaki
    Lozenge Magus!
[09:20] Ren
    I ride...
[09:26] Ren
    Blaster Javelin!
[09:28] Ren
    With Fullbau's skill, I draw one card,
    and that ends my turn.
[09:33] Miwa
    Shin, what's his clan?
[09:36] Shin
    Shadow Paladin.
[09:38] Shin
    A secretive, cold-hearted order
[09:41] Shin
    that controls the hallowed nation
    of United Sanctuary from the shadows.
[09:45] Misaki
    Stand and draw!
[09:48] Misaki
    I ride!
[09:51] Misaki
    Circle Magus!
[09:52] Misaki
    Come, Oracle Guardian, Gemini!
[10:03] Miwa
    What's with him?!
[10:05] Miwa
    Does he feel no pain from the VF Gloves?!
[10:07] Asaka
    Correct.
[10:09] Asaka
    Ren feels nothing.
[10:12] Asaka
    Neither pain, nor suffering...
[10:14] Asaka
    ...nor pleasure.
[10:15] Miwa
    What?!
[10:16] Asaka
    From Ren's point of view...
[10:19] Asaka
    ...the pain from the VF Gloves...
[10:21] Asaka
    ...is what's fake.
[10:23] Misaki
    My Vanguard attacks Blaster Javelin!
[10:28] Misaki
    Resist Foresight!
[10:31] Ren
    Damage check.
[10:39] Ren
    My turn now, huh?
[10:41] Misaki
    Tch!
[10:46] Ren
    I can hear your voice.
[10:51] Ren
    I ride!
[10:53] Ren
    Shadows travel solely on the path of fate.
[11:02] Kyou
    Hey, come on...
[11:03] Kyou
    What are you doing?!
[11:05] Aichi
    Alfred Early attacks your Vanguard!
[11:13] Kishida
    Damage check!
[11:20] Kishida
    Th-The likelihood of me winning this fight...
[11:24] Kishida
    ...is 0%!
[11:27] Fighter A
    The heck?! You lost?!
[11:29] Fighter B
    Wimp!
[11:30] Kyou
    Tch! That wasn't any good!
[11:33] Kyou
    He didn't use PSYqualia at all!
[11:36] Kamui
    All right, you clowns!
    Clear outta this shop!
[11:40] Fighter A
    Huh?!
[11:41] Fighter A
    That wasn't the deal!
[11:43] Kamui
    Don't nitpick! "Losers get lost," remember?!
[11:48] Kyou
    His PSYqualia must not trigger
    when he fights small fry... This stinks!
[11:53] Kyou
    Hey, Sendou!
[11:55] Kyou
    On to the next place!
[11:56] Aichi
    Huh? Next place?!
[11:57] Kamui
    I'm sure you'll win easily
    wherever we go, Brother Aichi!
[12:01] Kamui
    Come on, let's go!
[12:03] Togi
    Wait!
[12:06] Kamui
    Um...
[12:06] Aichi
    Are you with Team Asteroid?
[12:08] Togi
    No, I'm the manager of this shop.
[12:12] The Two
    No way!
[12:14] Togi
    I've been in a jam ever since
    these punks took over my shop.
[12:19] Togi
    I don't know how I can ever repay you,
[12:23] Togi
    but thanks, ya guys.
[12:26] The Two
    N-No problem!
[12:29] Aichi
    I see.
[12:31] Aichi
    By doing this, I was able to help someone out.
[12:36] Aichi
    Shall we go to the next shop?
[12:39] Kamui
    Yeah! You're really into it now,
    huh, Brother Aichi?!
[12:58] Misaki
    A black Blaster Blade...
[13:00] Ren
    Wrong.
[13:01] Ren
    I am the vanguard of darkness...
[13:04] Ren
    ...Blaster Dark.
[13:08] Miwa
    What?!
[13:09] Shin
    I've heard of that unit,
[13:10] Shin
    but this is my first time seeing it.
[13:13] Misaki
    What is it?!
[13:15] Misaki
    It's like a black knight bearing a strong
    resemblance to Aichi's Blaster Blade...
[13:20] Misaki
    ...but what is that sinister aura?
[13:25] Ren
    My Darkness destroys the balance of Light.
[13:30] Ren
    Ability Blast.
[13:32] Ren
    Greediness Shadow!
[13:36] Misaki
    Gemini!
[13:38] Ren
    When Blaster Dark appears,
[13:41] Ren
    I can retire one of my opponent's rear-guards.
[13:45] Ren
    Assemble, my shadow army!
[13:51] Miwa
    Darn it!
[13:52] Miwa
    He's even filled out his ranks!
[13:55] Misaki
    It's just like Aichi's Blaster Blade.
[13:58] Misaki
    Blaster Dark has the ability to retire units.
[14:02] Misaki
    If so, then what's his next move?
[14:04] Misaki
    Which will be his key unit?
[14:06] Ren
    Don't bother thinking about it.
[14:10] Ren
    You'll just plunge into
    the pitch-black darkness.
[14:15] Misaki
    We'll see about that!
[14:17] Misaki
    Come, Luck Bird!
[14:18] Ren
    You're good. But...
[14:20] Ren
    ...can you take this?
[14:22] Misaki
    No guard!
[14:24] Ren
    Are you sure?
[14:26] Ren
    Right now, Blaster Dark has twin drive.
[14:29] Miwa
    A grade 2 with twin drive?!
[14:32] Ren
    First check.
[14:34] Ren
    Critical trigger.
[14:35] Ren
    I give the power to Blaster Axe,
     and the extra critical to my Vanguard.
[14:40] Ren
    Second check.
[14:42] Ren
    Critical trigger.
[14:43] Ren
    I give the power to Blaster Axe,
     and the extra critical to my Vanguard.
[14:47] Shin
    Both were criticals!
[14:49] Miwa
    How lucky can he get?!
[14:54] Asaka
    If you think that's luck,
    then you're sorely mistaken.
[14:57] Asaka
    Ren can hear the voices of the cards.
[15:00] Asaka
    This is Ren's true ability.
[15:05] Misaki
    Damage check!
[15:11] Miwa
    Misaki!
[15:12] Shin
    Misaki!
[15:14] Asaka
    What a cute scream.
[15:17] Misaki
    Don't call me cute!
[15:18] Asaka
    Now now, keep your head in the game.
[15:21] Asaka
    Ren's not done attacking yet.
[15:24] Ren
    Go, my dark servants!
[15:28] Miwa
    With the boost, Blaster Axe's power is up to 41,000!
[15:32] Misaki
    I can't block that!
[15:37] Misaki
    Damage check!
[15:41] Kyou
    Hey, come on.
[15:42] Kamui
    That was awesome!
[15:45] Kyou
    Sheesh. Quit winning so easily.
[15:48] Kyou
    There's no point in doing this
    unless it triggers PSYqualia.
[15:53] Kamui
    "Sai-Kwo-Ria"?
SIGN    Shaved Ice
     Strawberry Melon Lemon
[15:54] Kamui
    Ice... Cool... Rhino...?
[15:56] Kyou
    "PSYqualia"!
[15:58] Kyou
    It's the power to hear the voices of the cards
    and predict what will happen in a fight!
[16:03] Aichi
    The voices of the cards?
[16:05] Blaster
    Call!
[16:13] Kyou
    Sendou, did you hear the cards this time?
[16:16] Aichi
    Now that you mention it, I didn't...
[16:18] Kyou
    I knew it.
[16:20] Kyou
    I guess his PSYqualia isn't triggered
    unless he's driven to the breaking point.
[16:25] Kamui
    Wait, what?
[16:27] Aichi
    You mean, you know someone else
    who also has PSYqualia?
[16:31] Kyou
    Yeah.
[16:32] Kyou
    HE is constantly talking to the cards.
[16:36] Ren
    Are you? Well, no need to panic.
[16:39] Ren
    The darkness will soon envelop everything.
[16:43] Misaki
    Stay calm.
[16:45] Misaki
    Take slow, deep breaths
    and focus on gauging his weakness.
[16:49] Misaki
    Now is when I go on the attack.
[16:52] Misaki
    I ride!
[16:55] Misaki
    Promise Daughter!
[16:57] Misaki
    Circle Magus! Counterblast! I draw one card!
[17:02] Misaki
    I call Silent Tom!
[17:03] Misaki
    With a Counterblast, he gets +6000 power.
[17:06] Misaki
    And then...
[17:08] Misaki
    ...I call Oracle Guardian, Gemini!
[17:11] Misaki
    Let's go!
[17:12] Ren
    No guard.
[17:14] Misaki
    Drive check!
[17:16] Misaki
    First check.
[17:18] Misaki
    Critical trigger!
[17:19] Misaki
    I give the power to Silent Tom,
[17:21] Misaki
    and the extra critical to Promise Daughter!
[17:28] Ren
    Damage check.
[17:34] Misaki
    Tom! Gemini! Combo attack!
[17:37] Tom
    Yes, ma'am!
[17:38] Ren
    This attack is a nuisance.
[17:40] Ren
    But not for long...
[17:42] Ren
    Attend me, Darkside Trumpeter!
[17:46] Ren
    Blaster Axe, lend your power, too!
[17:51] Asaka
    Did you see Ren's lovely intercept?!
[17:56] Miwa
    Tch! But at least they're tied at 4 damage!
[18:01] Ren
    What are you so happy about?
[18:04] Ren
    The fight is over.
[18:08] Misaki
    Wha...?!
[18:10] Misaki
    What's coming next?!
[18:15] Ren
    Sorry I kept you waiting.
[18:17] Rem
    Lurking deep within the shadow palace,
[18:20] Ren
    one who rules those beyond the bounds by law...
[18:25] Ren
    I ride!
[18:38] Misaki
    What is this?!
[18:40] Ren
    The Dark Dictator.
[18:45] Miwa
    A black King of Knights!
[18:47] Ren
    Imaginary Gift.
[18:49] Ren
    Force.
[18:50] Ren
    This gives Dark Dictator +10,000 power.
[18:56] Ren
    Attend me, Blaster Javelin!
[18:59] Ren
    Counterblast.
[19:01] Ren
    Dark Dictator's skill activates.
[19:04] Ren
    I superior call Blaster Dark from my hand.
[19:09] Miwa
    He had a second Blaster Dark!
[19:11] Ren
    This gives Blaster Dark +5000 power.
[19:16] Ren
    My sword shall lead you
    to the depths of darkness.
[19:20] Ren
    Break Darkness Destruction!
[19:26] Misaki
    Gemini!
[19:29] Ren
    Greediness Shadow.
[19:34] Misaki
    Tom!
[19:38] Ren
    And with that...
[19:39] Ren
    ...the world is now shrouded in complete darkness.
[19:43] Ren
    Meekly admit your defeat.
[19:46] Ren
    Do so, and you won't have to
    experience needless pain.
[19:50] Ren
    Go ahead, surrender.
[19:52] Misaki
    I refuse!
[19:54] Misaki
    Pain of the flesh may fade,
[19:56] Misaki
    but not the pain in my heart!
[19:58] Misaki
    If you expected me to admit defeat...
[20:02] Misaki
    ...then you were wrong!
[20:03] Asaka
    Hmm?
[20:05] Ren
    Is that so?
[20:07] Ren
    Then I'll have to engrave death
    into your flesh!
[20:10] Misaki
    No guard!
[20:13] Ren
    First check.
[20:14] Ren
    Second check.
[20:16] Ren
    Critical trigger!
[20:18] Ren
    I give the power to Blaster Dark,
