[00:03] Esuka
    I've called you two here for one reason.
[00:11] Esuka
    Shinemon Nitta.
[00:13] Esuka
    A short while ago,
    he intruded into my private room.
[00:16] Tonori
    Seriously, yo?
[00:17] Nanami
    Don't tell me that guy
    wearing glasses was Shinemon?!
[00:22] Esuka
    He gained entrance with your S Card, Nanami.
[00:26] Tonori
    Seriously, yo?!
[00:28] Nanami
    Who are you kidding, Tonori?!
    You were right next to me!
[00:33] Tonori
    Who's that?
[00:34] Esuka
    I believe she's a friend of Shinemon.
[00:37] Esuka
    You do know what to do, correct?

[00:45] Tatsuya
    Hello!
[00:49] Tatsuya
    Huh? Has something happened?
[00:51] Mark
    Tatsuya! I'll say something's happened!
[00:53] Mark
    Shinemon is going to do a flyover!
[00:56] Tatsuya
    F-Flyover?
[01:00] Mikuru
    No, he's going to be a holdover!
[01:02] Mark
    Oh! My mistake!
[01:05] Mikuru
    Shinemon didn't take any of the exams
    at school, so he'll have to repeat the year!
[01:10] Tatsuya
    What happened?
[01:11] Shin
    When we stole our way into
    Esuka headquarters the other day,
[01:15] Shin
    I saw...
[01:17] Shin
    ...that woman's...
[01:22] Mark
    N-Nosebleed?
[01:24] Tatsuya
    What? What did you see, Shinemon?!
[01:27] Shin
    I can't say it!
[01:29] Shin
    If I do, it'll expose you to danger, too!
[01:32] Tatsuya
    It's that bad?!
[01:34] Shin
    And I'm scared of Esuka's vengeance,
[01:37] Shin
    so I've been holed up here 24 hours a day.
[01:42] Mark
    Shinemon, if you act now, there's still time!
[01:45] Mark
    The teachers said that if you do well enough
    on the make-up exams, you won't have to retreat!
[01:49] Mikuru
    That's repeat.
[01:51] Shin
    Thanks, Mark.
[01:52] Shin
    But...
[01:54] Shin
    ...I'm not taking any make-ups!
[01:56] Mikuru
    What are you saying?!
[01:58] Shin
    Even if I took the make-ups now,
    the result would be the same!
[02:01] Shin
    So I choose to quit school altogether, and take
    the path of living as this shop's manager!
[02:06] Mark
    You just don't want to study, do you?
[02:09] Shin
    You got me with an average jab!
[02:10] Mikuru
    Do you really think you'd get away with
    becoming manager for a lousy reason like that?!
[02:14] Mark
    Just take the make-up exams!
[02:16] Shin
    I told you, no!
[02:17] Shin
    I'm quitting school!
[02:19] Tatsuya
    E-Excuse me!
[02:22] Tatsuya
    Please take the make-ups.
[02:23] Tatsuya
    While you're out, I'll protect this shop
    as your number one disciple!
[02:29] Shin
    Number one disciple?
[02:31] Mark
    Since when?
[02:32] Mikuru
    Well said!
[02:34] Mikuru
    Hand over the shop key!
[02:38] Mikuru
    The shop is in your hands!
[02:43] Tatsuya
    Right!
[02:44] Shin
    Uh, but...
[02:45] Mikuru
    What, are you going to say you don't
    trust your number one disciple?
[02:49] Shin
    No, that's not the issue...
[02:55] Shin
    The strength of imagination!
[02:58] Shin
    That's the strength of Vanguard!
[03:03] Shin
    Don't get dominated by
    your opponent's imagination!
[03:06] Shin
    Rewrite that imagination!

    Who is it?
[04:53] Shin
    It's me! Open up!
[04:56] Tatsuya
    Okay!
[04:56] Tatsuya
    At once!
[04:59] Tatsuya
    Did you forget something?
[05:00] Shin
    You're the one who forgot!
[05:02] Tatsuya
    Wh-Why?!
[05:03] Shin
    What if I'd been one of
    Esuka's goons in disguise?!
[05:08] Shin
    Don't open that door, even if you think it's me!
[05:11] Shin
    Don't take Esuka and her lackeys lightly!
[05:13] Tatsuya
    Okay! I've learned my lesson!
[05:16] Mark
    Hurry up, Shinemon.
[05:18] Shin
    Coming!
[05:19] Tatsuya
    See you later!
[05:20] Shin
    Right! I'm counting on you!
[05:22] Mikuru
    Say, Tatsuya...
[05:24] Mikuru
    Are you sure you want to be that guy's disciple?
[05:28] Mikuru
    My big brother's a real goof,

[05:30] Mikuru
    but Shinemon's so bad, he's Applesauce Cinnamon!

    Barricading himself in a card shop!
[05:36] Tatsuya
    But his passion for Vanguard is the real thing.
[05:40] Tatsuya
    The beauty of Shinemon's playing,
[05:42] Tatsuya
    his concentration and inspiration,
    his luck of the draw...
[05:45] Tatsuya
    All of them are wonderful!
[05:48] Tatsuya
    He's my ideal... my vanguard!
[05:54] Tatsuya
    Besides...
[05:56] Tatsuya
    ...this shop somehow reminds me
[06:00] Tatsuya
    of the card shop I used to go to.
[06:04] Tatsuya
    When I went there, I was always among friends.
[06:07] Tatsuya
    I had a lot of good times.
[06:12] Tatsuya
    I think Shinemon is trying
    to protect that kind of place.
[06:17] Tatsuya
    And I'd like to help him out.
[06:24] Mikuru
    Okay.
[06:25] Mikuru
    Then until Shinemon gets back,
    I'll hold the fort with you.

    Verily, I do not like the way this is going.
[07:04] Tatsuya
    I thought Shinemon would be back by now.
[07:09] Mikuru
    Are you hungry?
[07:10] Tatsuya
    Yes, a little...
[07:13] Mikuru
    Come with me.
[07:17] Mikuru
    Why don't we have these?

    Are you sure it's okay?

    You get poor mileage, Tonori.
[07:33] Nanami
    We just had curry.
[07:35] Tonori
    I could use three more bowls, yo.
[07:38] Nanami
    We have to take care of business first.
[07:44] Tonori
    Somethin' smells good...
[08:01] Tatsuya
    Wh-Who is it?
[08:03] Nanami
    Is Mikuru there?
[08:05] Mikuru
    Me?

    She's here, yo.

    We meet again, huh, kitty?

    Who are you?

    I'm Nanami Gonomi.

    Just call me Tonori.

    Oh, okay!
[08:35] Tatsuya
    That's...
[08:36] Tatsuya
    ...the legendary S Card,
    given only to S Rank members?!
[08:41] Mikuru
    What is it?!
[08:42] Tatsuya
    These two work for Esuka!
[08:45] Nanami
    Hey.
[08:46] Nanami
    Would you come with us?

    Wh-What should I do?

    I was told not to let anyone
    into the shop, no matter what!
[09:07] Tatsuya
    Somebody, help!
[09:16] Tatsuya
    That's right!
[09:17] Tatsuya
    I'm the sub manager right now.
[09:19] Tatsuya
    Until Shinemon gets back,
    I have to protect this shop!
[09:26] Tatsuya
    Excuse me!
[09:30] Tatsuya
    I challenge you...
[09:31] Tatsuya
    ...to a Vanguard match!
SIGN    Cardfighter Solidarity
[09:36] Tatsuya
    If I win, you have to
    leave this shop without Mikuru!
[09:40] Nanami
    Then if we win, we get
    to take her with us, right?
[09:45] Nanami
    Tonori, you take this one.
[09:47] Tonori
    If I win, can I get a double cheeseburger?
[09:50] Nanami
    We'll make it a combo, with cola and fries.
[09:56] Tonori
    Come to think of it,
    I didn't catch your name, yo.
[10:00] Tatsuya
    Tatsuya Tachibana.
[10:02] Tatsuya
    I'm Shinemon's number one disciple!
[10:05] Nanami
    There's no way you can win this, silly.
[10:07] Mikuru
    Why do you say that?!
[10:09] Nanami
    Out of the S Rank members,
    Tonori is ranked number two.
[10:12] Mikuru
    Who's number one?
[10:15] Nanami
    Obviously, that would be me.
[10:19] The Two
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[10:23] Tatsuya
    First Aid Celestial, Peniel!
[10:29] Tonori
    Spring Breeze Messenger!
[10:32] Tatsuya
    I go first.
[10:35] Tatsuya
    I ride!
[10:36] Tatsuya
    Marking Celestial, Arabhaki!
[10:43] Tatsuya
    Can I beat an S Rank member?
[10:47] Tatsuya
    No, I have to beat him,
[10:50] Tatsuya
    at least to keep my promise to Shinemon!
[11:09] Nanami
    His clan is Angel Feather, huh?
[11:11] Nanami
    A legion of angels that are
    good at assisting and healing.
[11:15] Mikuru
    Angels?
[11:17] Nanami
    You didn't know?
[11:18] Mikuru
    I don't play Vanguard.
[11:21] Nanami
    Then why are you here?!
[11:23] Mikuru
    Well, that's... a good question.
[11:26] Nanami
    Whatever. I'll explain it
    so even you can understand.
[11:29] Nanami
    Tonori's clan is Gold Paladin.
[11:32] Nanmi
    It's a tight-knit order of
    gold knights within United Sanctuary.
[11:36] Tonori
    I ride.
[11:38] Tonori
    Little Battler, Tron.
[11:41] Tonori
    On top of that, I call
    Evil Slaying Swordsman, Haugan!
[11:46] Tonori
    Let's go, Haugan!
[11:48] Haugan
    No problem!
[11:50] Tatsuya
    No guard!
[11:57] Nanami
    Uh oh, he didn't guard...
[12:00] Nanami
    When the Vanguard's attack hits,
[12:02] Nanami
    Haugan can summon a friend from the deck.
[12:06] Tonori
    I superior call Listener of Truth, Dindrane, yo.
[12:12] Tonori
    Dindrane's skill activates.
[12:16] Nanami
    And then Tron also calls on a friend.
[12:24] Tatsuya
    What?!
[12:26] Tonori
    I'm gonna finish this ASAP, yo.
[12:29] Tonori
    Dindrane boosts and Sagramore attacks, yo!
[12:35] Tatsuya
    Hot Shot Celestial, Samyaza guards!
[12:41] Tatsuya
    Even though it's only the second turn,
    he's already using grade 3 units?!
[12:46] Nanami
    If you're not careful,
    it'll be over before you know it.
[12:49] Mikuru
    Tatsuya!
[12:53] Shin
    Don't get flustered, Tatsuya!
[12:55] Tatsuya
    Shinemon!
[12:56] Shin
    Don't be afraid!
[12:58] Shin
    What's important is not getting dominated
    by your opponent's imagination.
[13:02] Shin
    Be assertive and rewrite that imagination!
[13:07] Tatsuya
    That's right.
[13:08] Tatsuya
    He's just dealt me opening damage.
[13:10] Tatsuya
    I'll calm down and look
    for a path to a counterattack!
[13:13] Tatsuya
    I ride!
[13:16] Tatsuya
    Rear Impetus Celestial, Armaiti!
[13:20] Tatsuya
    Its skill activates!
[13:22] Tatsuya
    I superior call Underlay Celestial, Hesediel
    from the Damage Zone!
[13:29] Tatsuya
    Come, Million Ray Pegasus!
[13:39] Tonori
    To me, Dantegal!
[13:42] Tatsuya
    Drive check!
[13:44] Tatsuya
    Critical trigger!
[13:45] Tatsuya
    I give all of the effects
    to Million Ray Pegasus!
[13:49] Tatsuya
    Go!
[13:57] Tonori
    First check.
[13:58] Tonori
    Second check.
[14:00] Mikuru
    Yes! That makes 2 damage!
[14:02] Nanami
    Looks like you're somewhat
    familiar with it after all. But...
[14:08] Nanami
    ...I wonder how much longer he can hold out.
[14:10] Mikuru
    Huh? What do you mean?
[14:24] Tonori
    I ride!
[14:26] Tonori
    Liberator of the Flute, Escrad!
[14:30] Tonori
    Its skill activates!
[14:33] Tonori
    I superior call
    Stronghold of the Black Chains, Hoel!
[14:36] Tatsuya
    Again?!
[14:37] Tonori
    And then I call Player of the Holy Bow, Viviane!
[14:40] Tonori
    Its skill activates!
[14:46] Tonori
    I superior call Hoel!
[14:52] Tonori
    Go!
[14:54] Tatsuya
    Samyaza, please!
[14:57] Tonori
    Outta my way!
[15:02] Tatsuya
    No guard!
[15:06] Tonori
    Drive check.
[15:10] Tatsuya
    A critical trigger?!
[15:12] Tonori
    I give the power to Viviane
    and the extra critical to Escrad!
[15:16] Tatsuya
    Damage check!
[15:24] Tonori
    I'm still not done with you!
[15:29] Tatsuya
    No guard!
[15:36] Nanami
    Now he has 4 damage.
[15:39] Tonori
    It's your turn.
[15:42] Tonori
    Hurry up, already!
[15:46] Tatsuya
    What's with him?
[15:48] Tatsuya
    He seems totally different from before.
[15:51] Tatsuya
    But there's no sense thinking about it.
[15:54] Tatsuya
    I have to focus on my own fighting!
[15:56] Tatsuya
    I ride!
[16:00] Tatsuya
    Mobile Hospital, Feather Palace!
[16:06] Tatsuya
    Imaginary Gift, Protect I!
[16:09] Tatsuya
    Next, I call Hesediel!
[16:11] Tatsuya
    Its skill activates!
[16:15] Tatsuya
    I call Wild Shot Celestial, Raguel!
[16:19] Tatsuya
    Raguel's skill activates!
[16:23] Tatsuya
    I superior call Arabhaki from the Drop Zone!
[16:29] Tatsuya
    Hesediel boosts, and Raguel attacks!
[16:33] Tonori
    I guard with Flame of Victory!
[16:37] Tatsuya
    I'm not done yet!
[16:40] Tonori
    No guard!
[16:41] Tatsuya
    Twin drive!
[16:42] Tatsuya
    First check!
[16:44] Tatsuya
    Second check!
[16:46] Nanami
    A heal trigger?!
[16:47] Mikuru
    All right!
[16:55] Tatsuya
    I'm still not done!
[16:57] Tatsuya
    With a boost from Hesediel,
    Million Ray Pegasus attacks Sagramore!
[17:08] Tonori
    Sagramore!
[17:10] Tatsuya
    How about that?!
[17:12] Tonori
    Not bad.
[17:15] Tonori
    But you just lost this by
    not clinching it right there!
[17:21] Tatsuya
    Why...?
[17:24] Tatsuya
    I still have only 3 damage.
[17:27] Tonori
    I ride!
[17:31] Tonori
    Knight of Fury, Agravain!
[17:36] Tonori
    Imaginary Gift, Accel I!
[17:43] Tonori
    I can't take any more!
[17:52] Tonori
    I'm so hungry...
[17:54] Tonori
    ...I feel like I'm gonna die!
[17:59] Mikuru
    What's this now?
[18:00] Nanami
    When Tonori gets hungry,
[18:02] Nanami
    he loses his reason and becomes a brute.
[18:08] Nanami
    Go ahead. Eat as much as you like.
[18:11] Nanami
    Devour all the prey!
[18:15] Shin
    Why do I have butterflies in my stomach?
[18:18] Shin
    I have a bad feeling about this.

    You can depend on me!

[19:02] Tonori
    Jerkface! Quit trying to buy yourself time!
[19:08] Tonori
    Go!
[19:13] Tatsuya
    Damage check!
[19:18] Nanami
    That makes 4 damage!

    Hoel boosts, and Kahedin attacks your Vanguard!

    Its skill activates!
[19:36] Tonori
    I'm gonna gobble up your lives!
[19:39] Tonori
    Delish!
[19:42] Tatsuya
    What are you trying to do?!
[19:45] Tonori
    It absorbed all its allies into the Soul,
[19:48] Tonori
    and now, for each ally I called this turn,
    I can summon another one from my deck!
[19:54] Tonori
    For this turn, I called three cards!
[20:07] Tatsuya
    Wh-What?!
[20:13] Tatsuya
    You can still attack with that many units?!
[20:17] Tonori
    You ain't seen nothing yet!
[20:19] Tonori
    Escrad's skill activates!
[20:21] Tonori
    I superior call Flame of Victory!
[20:33] Tatsuya
    Sunny Smile Angel guards!
[20:36] Tonori
    Twin drive!
[20:37] Tonori
    First check!
[20:39] Tonori
    Front trigger!
[20:41] Nanami
    With that, all of the front row units
    get +10,000 power!
[20:43] Tonori
    Second check!
[20:48] Tonori
    Escrad attacks your Vanguard!
[20:54] Tatsuya
    It's no use.
[20:55] Tatsuya
    Even if I guard against this,
    he still has two more attacks.
[20:58] Tatsuya
    I can't stave them off!
[21:04] Tatsuya
    No guard...
[21:09] Tonori
    Go, you guys.
[21:13] Tatsuya
    I'm sorry, Shinemon!
[21:20] Tatsuya
    I couldn't...
[21:22] Tatsuya
    ...keep...
[21:24] Tatsuya
    ...my promise!
[21:32] Mark
    I'm back!
[21:34] Mark
    Shinemon has more make-ups
    to do, so I came back...

[23:48] Narrator
    Today's featured card
    is Tatsuya's ace in the hole,
[23:51] Narrator
    Mobile Hospital, Feather Palace!
SIGN    Mobile Hospital, Feather Palace
[23:54] Narrator
    When attacking, if the player does
    a Soulblast with two grade 3 cards,
[23:57] Narrator
    this unit gains +20,000 power
    and an extra critical!
[24:01] Narrator
    On top of that, an opponent's
    perfect guard won't work against this unit,
[24:04] Narrator
