[00:02] Kai
    What?!
[00:05] Kai
    Ren came here?!
[00:06] Miwa
    Y-Yeah.
[00:08] Misaki
    He was incredible.
[00:11] Ren
    Sink into the pitch-black darkness!
[00:13] Misaki
    I was helpless to do anything.
[00:18] Misaki
    It's just that, his fighting style...
[00:22] Kai
    What about it?
[00:25] Misaki
    It reminded me...
[00:27] Misaki
    ...of Aichi.
[00:29] Kai
    Where is Aichi?
[00:30] Miwa
    He hasn't come by yet.
[00:37] Aichi
    Huh?
[00:38] Kamui
    Tomorrow, too?
[00:40] Kyou
    Of course.
[00:41] Kyou
    There are still lots of shops left
    that were taken over by Team Asteroid.
[00:46] Aichi
    That's true. I'll do my best tomorrow, then.
[00:49] Kamui
    Well, if Brother Aichi agrees...
[00:52] Kyou
    Then we'll meet up after school.
[00:54] Kyou
    Don't be late.
[00:56] Kamui
    Looks like we're not making it
    to Capital tomorrow, either.
[01:00] Aichi
    Yeah.
[01:01] Aichi
    But somebody has to take care of this.
[01:05] Kamui
    Brother Aichi...
[01:14] Aichi
    Vanguard.
[01:15] Aichi
    It's a card game in which you yourself
    become the vanguard and fight!
[01:19] Kai
    Imagine it!
    Imagination will become your strength!
SIGN    Image 18 Kai and Ren, and Aichi Too
[03:04] Shin
    I guess Aichi's not coming by today, either.
[03:08] Miwa
    You're leaving?
[03:09] Kai
    Yeah.
[03:23] Tetsu
    Ren has finally perfected...
[03:26] Tetsu
    ...PSYqualia.
[03:29] Kai
    "PSYqualia"...
[03:39] Kai
    Ren started to change because of that power.
[03:42] Kai
    Back then, I was blindly doing fights,
    just to seek out strength.
[03:55] Tetsu
    You won again.
[04:00] Kai
    I first encountered Ren at
    a card shop where I happened to be.
[04:06] Kai
    Who's next?!
[04:07] Tetsu
    Your old man hit you again?!
[04:11] Kai
    Ren was heir to a major corporation.
[04:14] Kai
    But, constantly suffering abuse
    at the hands of his perfectionist father,
[04:18] Kai
    he'd go to that shop as a means of escape.
[04:21] Kai
    Ride The Vanguard!
[04:28] Kai
    I call!
[04:31] Tetsu
    It seems his name is Toshiki Kai.
[04:33] Ren
    Toshiki Kai...
[04:36] Kai
    Dragonic Overlord attacks your Vanguard!
[04:42] PlayerA
    Damage check...
[04:44] PlayerA
    No trigger.
[04:48] PlayerA
    6 damage...
[04:54] Kai
    Next!
[04:55] Ren
    M-Me!
[05:04] Ren
    M-My name is Ren Suzugamori.
[05:07] Kai
    I don't care who you are.
[05:10] Kai
    Let's do this!
[05:11] Ren
    R-Right!
[05:14] Kai
    Stand up, The Vanguard!
[05:14] Ren
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[05:24] Ren
    Y-You're so strong...
[05:30] Kai
    Ren challenged me countless times after that.
[05:34] Ren
    Why? Why?!
[05:37] Ren
    Why?!
[05:40] Ren
    Tell me, Kai!
[05:42] Ren
    Why are you so strong?!
[05:45] Kai
    Imagine yourself being stronger.
[05:48] Kai
    Imagination will become your strength.
[05:53] Kai
    That's when Ren had an awakening.
[06:01] Ren
    It's my turn, right?
[06:11] Ren
    What was that?
[06:18] Ren
    Got it.
[06:22] Ren
    It's my turn, huh?
[06:26] Kai
    Ren?
[06:27] Ren
    Say, Kai...
[06:30] Ren
    Have you ever heard the voices of the cards?
[06:33] Kai
    Huh?
[06:34] Tetsu
    The voices of the cards?
[06:35] Kai
    What are you talking about?
[06:38] Ren
    Come on!
[06:39] Ren
    I'm making a once-in-a-lifetime confession here!
[06:42] Kai
    It's just dumb.
[06:44] Kai
    I assumed...
[06:45] Kai
    ...they were no more than hallucinations
    brought on by Ren's intense concentration.
[06:52] Kai
    But he really could hear
    the voices of the cards.
[06:56] Kai
    And eventually, he was unbeatable.
[06:59] Ren
    Yeah, I know.
[07:03] Ren
    I'm counting on you.
[07:05] Ren
    I already know what the result will be.
[07:13] Ren
    The Dark Dictator attacks your Vanguard!
[07:18] PlayerB
    N-No guard!
[07:20] Ren
    First check.
[07:22] Ren
    I got a critical trigger.
[07:25] Ren
    Second check.
[07:28] Ren
    I got a critical trigger.
[07:32] GalleryC
    Another double trigger!
[07:34] Tetsu
    Ren wins.
[07:35] GalleryA
    That's how many wins in a row?!
[07:38] GalleryB
    Can he seriously hear the voices of the cards?!
[07:43] PlayerB
    You dirty cheat!
[07:47] Ren
    That hurt, you know.
[07:49] PlayerB
    Shut up!
[07:50] PlayerB
    The only way you'd get
    hands like that is by cheating!
[07:55] Ren
    Before we even began,
[07:57] Ren
    I could already see your defeat.
[08:01] PlayerB
    You're dead!
[08:04] Tetsu
    What are you doing?!
[08:13] Ren
    He thought he could vanquish me with violence.
[08:16] Ren
    What a fool.
[08:18] Kai
    You got beat up again?
[08:21] Ren
    I don't care about that.
[08:26] Ren
    Amazing...
[08:28] Ren
    With this power alone,
    I can beat absolutely anyone.
[08:32] Ren
    Even you will lose to me eventually, Kai.
[08:36] Kai
    Quit it.
[08:37] Ren
    Huh?
[08:38] Kai
    So long as you use that power,
[08:40] Kai
    you're not actually fighting.
[08:43] Kai
    All you're doing is winning!
[08:45] Kai
    You're not grasping for victory
    like you would in a serious fight!
[08:52] Ren
    What's wrong with winning?!
[08:54] Ren
    My opponents are just weak!
[08:57] Ren
    Wh-What's with you, Kai?
[09:02] Ren
    I get it! You're intimidated by my power!
[09:06] Ren
    You're afraid of losing!
[09:11] Ren
    You're just afraid of being surpassed by
    someone you see as lesser than yourself!
[09:27] Suiko
    Are you the fighter who can
    hear the voices of the cards?
[09:34] Suiko
    Would you have a Cardfight with me?
[09:44] Suiko
    6 damage.
[09:46] Suiko
    That power of yours... could be PSYqualia.
[09:51] Ren
    "PSYqualia"...
[09:53] Ren
    Is that the sensation of
    hearing the voices of the cards?
[10:05] Ren
    It's PSYqualia!
[10:07] Ren
    This power of mine is called PSYqualia!
[10:11] Kai
    Now that his power had been given a name,
[10:14] Kai
    Ren became even more obsessed with it.
[10:22] Ren
    There, you see? I won!
[10:24] PlayerC
    Darn it!
[10:25] Ren
    You're weak!
[10:27] Ren
    Weak, weak, weak, weak, weak!
[10:30] Ren
    I don't wanna fight any more weaklings.
[10:33] Ren
    Why don't you quit?
[10:34] PlayerC
    Wha...?!
[10:35] Ren
    What else can a weakling do, but quit?
[10:41] Kai
    Ren...
[10:42] Kai
    Whatever kind of power you have,
[10:45] Kai
    your fights are only about you getting
    drunk on victory and breaking losers' spirits!
[10:49] Kai
    That's boring!
[10:52] Kai
    I'd grown disgusted with Ren.
[10:56] Kai
    So I used entering high school
    as my chance to return to this town.
[11:00] Kai
    And then...
[11:23] Aichi
    You always looked like you were
    having a good time Cardfighting.
[11:27] Kai
    That's right. I returned to this town...
[11:30] Aichi
    Give me back my card!
[11:33] Kai
    ...and then met Aichi.
[11:35] Kai
    Is this your card?
[11:38] Kai
    A card that's been taken away
    can only be regained through a fight.
[11:43] Aichi
    Then, w-will you fight me?
[11:48] Kai
    Stand up, The Vanguard!
[11:48] Aichi
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[11:51] Kai
    To me, Gojo!
[11:55] Aichi
    With a boost from Wingal,
[11:56] Aichi
    my Vanguard attacks Dragon Armored Knight!
[12:02] Kai
    Ride!
[12:09] Aichi
    W-Wow!
[12:13] Kai
    Dragonic Overlord "The Vanguard"!
[12:16] Kai
    Imaginary Gift! Force!
[12:19] Kai
    Behold the power and might
    known as the Flames of Apocalypse!
[12:31] Kai
    Against my might,
    you're nothing but trash.
[12:37] Aichi
    Stand up, my avatar!
[12:41] Aichi
    From the military force of planet Cray's
[12:43] Aichi
    hallowed nation of United Sanctuary,
[12:46] Aichi
    Royal Paladin's Sword of Light!
[12:52] Aichi
    Blaster Blade!
[12:58] Aichi
    You're the one who gave me
    the image of becoming stronger, Kai.
[13:05] Aichi
    Here I come, Kai!
[13:07] Kai
    Then come on, Aichi!
[13:21] Kai
    Why did I lose to Aichi?
[13:23] Kai
    That should be obvious.
[13:25] Kai
    It's because Aichi's imagination surpassed mine.
[13:29] Kai
    And Aichi's imagination...
[13:31] Kai
    ...continued to evolve with each fight.
[13:34] The Two
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[13:38] Aichi
    Come to me now,
[13:40] Aichi
    leader of light!
[13:41] Aichi
    Prince of Royal Paladins!
[13:45] Aichi
    Alfred Early!
[13:48] Kamui
    The Great Kamui rides!
[13:54] Kamui
    Perfect Raizer!
[13:56] Kamui
    Asura Kaiser!
[14:04] Aichi
    Gallatin!
[14:06] Kamui
    I told ya!
[14:07] Kamui
    There's no point in resisting!
[14:13] Kamui
    Asura Kaiser!
[14:14] Kamui
    One more time!
[14:20] Kamui
    Here's where...
[14:22] Kamui
    ...I finish you off!
[14:25] Aichi
    Guard!
[14:29] Kamui
    I-It can't be!
[14:31] Kamui
    My sixth attack didn't finish him off?!
[14:36] Aichi
    It's my turn!
[14:37] Aichi
    Here I go, Kamui!
[14:53] Kai
    Aichi won against Kamui.
[14:56] The Two
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[14:59] Misaki
    I ride!
[15:01] Misaki
    Imperial Daughter!
[15:06] Aichi
    I attack Imperial Daughter
    with Blaster Blade, boosted by Wingal!
[15:12] Misaki
    Weather Forecaster, Miss Mist!
[15:19] Misaki
    Here I come, Aichi Sendou!
[15:22] Aichi
    I'm ready, Misaki!
[15:26] Misaki
    Twin drive! First check!
[15:29] Aichi
    Critical trigger?!
[15:31] Misaki
    I give all of the effects to Imperial Daughter!
[15:33] Misaki
    Second check.
[15:35] Misaki
    I give all of the effects to Imperial Daughter!
[15:50] Kai
    He lost to Misaki,
[15:55] Kai
    but it was a fight where
    either of them could've won.
[15:58] Miwa
    Oh, uh, me?
[15:59] Miwa
    Well, the answer's...
    beyond me, unfortunately!
[16:05] Kai
    But then again...
[16:07] Miwa
    Morikawa, this shop's self-declared
    strongest fighter, lost to Kai.
[16:10] Miwa
    Then Kai lost to Aichi, who then lost to me...
[16:14] Miwa
    Guess that means...
[16:16] Miwa
    I'm the strongest fighter at Card Capital!
[16:20] Miwa
    Aw, yeah!
[16:22] Kai
    ...he did lose easily to Miwa.
[16:25] Kai
    The truth is, he still has his ups and downs...
[16:28] Kai
    ...but Aichi keeps improving steadily.
[16:31] Leon
    I have one wish. That the wind will blow.
[16:37] Leon
    Stand up, my Vanguard!
[16:37] Aichi
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[16:42] Leon
    You should take caution.
[16:44] Leon
    The wind will soon become a tempest.
[16:47] Aichi
    Huh?
[16:50] Leon
    A slumbering giant dragon
    awakens from the depths.
[16:53] Leon
    I ride...
[16:58] Leon
    ...Blue Storm Dragon, Maelstrom!
[17:02] Leon
    Lazarus attacks your Vanguard.
[17:05] Leon
    Lazarus's skill activates. +3000 power.
[17:13] Aichi
    What is this?
[17:19] Aichi
    Blaster Blade!
[17:29] Aichi
    What was that sensation just now?
[17:35] Aichi
    Come to me now!
[17:39] Aichi
    The master of paladins!
[17:48] Aichi
    King of Knights, Alfred!
[17:55] Leon
    I'll halt that wind!
[18:01] Aichi
    Let's go, Wingal!
[18:03] Wingal
    Mrf-mrf!
[18:06] Leon
    I'm not finished yet!
[18:10] Leon
    The wind is still blowing my direction.
[18:17] Leon
    You played admirably, Aichi Sendou.
[18:19] Leon
    But it appears your wind couldn't reach me.
[18:26] Leon
    Farewell, King of Knights.
[18:30] Aichi
    Bringer of Good Luck, Epona!
[18:41] Leon
    "The jet stream"...
[18:42] Aichi
    Huh?
[18:43] Leon
    Westerly winds that blow
    at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
[18:47] Leon
    The higher the wind, the stronger it blows.
[18:49] Leon
    You too should strive to
    reach the heights of Vanguard.
[18:53] Leon
    I'll be waiting.
[18:55] Kai
    What were "the heights of Vanguard"
    Asia Circuit champion Leon Soryu referred to?
[19:03] Kai
    Did he mean... PSYqualia?!
[19:16] Kyou
    Aichi Sendou, today's the day...
[19:19] The Two
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[19:37] Blaster
    My Vanguard...
[19:39] Blaster
    My Vanguard.
[19:41] Aichi
    I hear a voice.
[19:43] Aichi
    Blaster Blade wants to tell me something.
[19:48] Blaster
    Call.
[19:49] Aichi
    Huh?
[19:50] Blaster
    Call!
[19:57] Aichi
    Okay, got it.
[20:02] Aichi
    I call...
[20:03] Aichi
    Sage of Guidance, Zenon.
[20:10] Kyou
    Sage of Guidance, Zenon?!
[20:14] Aichi
    Thank you, Blaster Blade.
[20:17] Kyou
    I-It can't be!
[20:19] Kyou
    He drew a grade 3?!
[20:22] Aichi
    Dispelling the dark clouds
    that obstruct the way to hope!
[20:26] Aichi
    Dragon of sacred light!
[20:41] Aichi
    I superior ride...
[20:44] Aichi
    Soul Saver Dragon!
[20:48] Aichi
    Shining Feather Saver!
[20:59] Kyou
    Just like on that day...
[21:02] Kyou
    ...your PSYqualia will manifest.
[21:16] Miwa
    You're such a lone wolf.
[21:18] Kai
    Huh?
[21:20] Miwa
    I can tell you're gonna go
    try to resolve this on your own.
[21:24] Kai
    Resolve what?
[21:25] Miwa
    Well, I'm free, so I'll come with.
[21:34] Miwa
    As aloof as ever, huh...
[23:10] Miwa
    Hey, Kai, where are we going?
[23:13] Miwa
    Why a supermarket?
[23:14] Miwa
    I should carry the basket?
    Sure, but what are we buying?
[23:18] Miwa
    Onions and mushrooms?
[23:20] Miwa
    And 400 grams of beef tenderloin...
[23:23] Miwa
    What? For beef stroganoff?
[23:25] Miwa
    You're gonna cook it for me?!
[23:27] Miwa
    I'm not worthy!
[23:28] Kai
    Hey, Miwa...
[23:30] Kai
    Wake up. We're here.
[23:32] Miwa
    Shucks. I fell asleep on the bus...
[23:34] Kai
    You're drooling.
    What were you dreaming about?

[23:37] Miwa
    Uh, beef stroganoff...
