**[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...
