[01:49] Tetsu
    Asaka, where's Ren?
[01:52] Asaka
    Don't know.
[01:54] Tetsu
    Hmph.
SIGN    Tetsu
[02:07] Tetsu
    He left it here again?
[02:09] Asaka
    Hey, Tetsu...
[02:12] Asaka
    About Toshiki Kai...
[02:15] Asaka
    Is it true that he's undefeated?
[02:19] Tetsu
    Why do you ask?
[02:21] Tetsu
    I can't say that I've ever seen Kai lose.
[02:24] Asaka
    Yesterday, I heard that he has lost a fight.
[02:28] Tetsu
    What?!
[02:29] Miwa
    But I've beaten somebody
    who's beaten Kai before.
[02:34] Asaka
    And yet, that guy lost to me.
[02:38] Tetsu
    I don't believe it. Toshiki Kai is--
[02:41] Lackey C
    I have big news!
[02:45] Lackey C
    Yesterday, Kyou Yahagi showed up at the shops
    controlled by Osamu Kishida and Kiriya Bidou.
[02:51] Tetsu
    Kyou did?!
[02:53] Lackey C
    According to the report,
    Kyou claimed to be "Asteroid hunting."
[02:57] Asaka
    Asteroid hunting?
[02:58] Tetsu
    I see.
[02:59] Tetsu
    And what was the result of the fight?
[03:02] Lackey C
    Actually, it seems the fighter
    Kyou was with beat both of our guys.
[03:08] Asaka
    You're kidding...
[03:10] Tetsu
    What was this fighter like?
[03:12] Lackey C
    The report says he used Blaster Blade!
[03:16] Tetsu
    Blaster Blade!
[03:18] Asaka
    That card is as rare as Ren's Blaster Dark.
[03:22] Tetsu
    Very interesting.
[03:24] Tetsu
    Assuming that Kyou plans
    to do more Asteroid hunting today,
[03:28] Tetsu
    the shop he's most likely to visit is...
[03:32] Kyou
    Here.
[03:34] Prof. O
    You're "Asteroid hunting"?
[03:36] Kyou
    That's right. So you're gonna fight him.
[03:39] Aichi
    Hello.
[03:40] Prof. O
    O, you surprise me!
[03:42] Prof. O
    Kyou, do you know who I am?
[03:45] Kyou
    Of course I do.
[03:47] Kyou
    You're a member of Second Limited 3,
    otherwise known as SL3.
[03:52] Kyou
    The mighty Professor O.
[03:54] Lackey A
    This's the guy who beat you...
[03:55] Lackey B
    And then took out Kishida and Bidou?
[03:59] Kyou
    Looks like word gets around.
[04:01] Kyou
    Meaning I don't have to explain.
[04:04] Prof. O
    He doesn't seem like
    an especially tough fighter...
[04:07] Prof. O
    O, let us have a good fight!
[04:09] Aichi
    Y-Yes, let's.
[04:11] Aichi
    I-If I win, you should leave this shop.
[04:16] Lackey A
    Hey Professor, it sounds like
    this guy thinks he's gonna beat you.
[04:21] Prof. O
    Hypothetically, were he to beat me,
    then, O yes, we would leave this store!
[04:26] Aichi
    P-Please do.
[04:28] Kamui
    Good luck, Brother Aichi!
[04:30] Aichi
    Thanks.
[04:34] Prof. O
    Stand up, O Vanguard!
[04:34] Aichi
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[04:44] Lackey A
    I-It can't be...
[04:45] Lackey B
    No way!
[04:50] Aichi
    Alfred Early attacks your Vanguard!
[04:55] Prof. O
    O, to think this would ever happen!
[04:59] Prof. O
    Damage check...
[05:02] Lackey A
    No trigger!
[05:04] Lackey B
    Which means...
[05:11] Aichi
    I-I won.
[05:13] Kamui
    Ya see just how strong Brother Aichi is?
[05:16] Kamui
    Now hit the road!
[05:18] Prof. O
    O what a fight!
[05:22] Clerk
    Thank you.
[05:23] Kamui
    Only the best from Brother Aichi!
[05:25] Aichi
    No, not really...
[05:27] Clerk
    Well, back to work...
[05:29] Kyou
    Sendou.
[05:31] Kyou
    Did you hear the voices of the cards?
[05:33] Kamui
    You're still going on about that?
SIGN    Psy-Cukes For Sale
[05:35] Kamui
    That psy-cucumber thing...
[05:38] Kyou
    It's PSYqualia.
[05:40] Kyou
    Well? Did you?
[05:43] Aichi
    No, I didn't.
[05:45] Aichi
    That one time...
[05:48] Blaster
    Call.
[05:51] Aichi
    It may have been a fluke.
[05:53] Aichi
    I don't think I have that power--
[05:55] Kyou
    Of course you do!
[05:57] Kyou
    You wouldn't have been
    able to beat me otherwise!
[06:01] Kyou
    Let's go to the next shop.
[06:03] Kyou
    Hang on...
[06:05] Kyou
    There aren't many fighters
     who're better than Professor O.
[06:09] Kyou
    You're far stronger than you need to be!
[06:12] Kamui
    Got that right!
[06:13] Kamui
    He's now crazy-strong!
[06:15] Tetsu
    You've been causing us trouble, Kyou.
[06:20] Kamui
    Who're you?!
[06:22] Kyou
    A member of AL4. Tetsu.
[06:25] Aichi
    AL4...
[06:27] Kamui
    They're the top four
    fighters in Team Asteroid, right?
[06:31] Kyou
    Although they're down to three now...
[06:33] Tetsu
    Which one here is the fighter
     who used Blaster Blade to defeat you?
[06:39] Kyou
    That's what you're interested in?
[06:41] Kyou
    He's this gangly one.
[06:45] Aichi
    H-Hello.
[06:48] Tetsu
    I don't judge books by their covers,
    but this claim is hard to swallow.
[06:53] Tetsu
    This boy actually defeated you?
[06:56] Kyou
    Yeah, completely.
[06:58] Kyou
    But then, just like Ren,
[07:00] Kyou
    he's able to hear the voices of the cards.
[07:04] Tetsu
    What?
[07:05] Kyou
    You've done plenty of research on Ren,
[07:08] Kyou
    so I'm sure you know what I mean.
[07:13] Tetsu
    It's something I've only ever
    witnessed with Ren Suzugamori.
[07:17] Tetsu
    The power to hear the voices of the units
    and then predict the future of the fight...
[07:21] Tetsu
    PSYqualia.
[07:22] Tetsu
    This boy has it?
[07:25] Kyou
    Doesn't it make you wanna test him, Tetsu?
[07:29] Tetsu
    I'll take you up on that, Kyou.
[07:32] Tetsu
    Have a bout with me, boy!
[07:38] Kyou
    Sendou, this guy happens to be
    the commander of Team Asteroid.
[07:42] Aichi
    The commander?
[07:44] Kyou
    As in, he's the one who issued
    the orders to take over card shops.
[07:50] Aichi
    Then, did you create the VF Gloves, too?
[07:53] Tetsu
    Yeah.
[07:55] Tetsu
    That was my doing.
[07:56] Aichi
    I-I'd been thinking that...
[08:00] Aichi
    whoever had made the gloves
    did it because of their love of Vanguard.
[08:04] Aichi
    To me, it felt like they were made
    for harmonizing with one's Vanguard.
[08:09] Tetsu
    Oh, so you realized that?
[08:12] Aichi
    Huh?
[08:13] Tetsu
    It's true that I created them,
[08:15] Tetsu
    but I was inspired to do so for my leader.
[08:18] Aichi
    Your leader?
[08:19] Tetsu
    Just as you said, he loves Vanguard.
[08:24] Kamui
    You say the leader of
    Team Asteroid loves Vanguard?!
[08:27] Kamui
    Don't make me laugh!
[08:29] Aichi
    Kamui!
[08:32] Aichi
    But why would someone like that
    wreak havoc by forcing shops to use VF Gloves?
[08:38] Tetsu
    To ensure that they do serious fights.
[08:40] Aichi
    Serious fights...?
[08:42] Tetsu
    Team Asteroid reigns
    atop the summit of Vanguard.
[08:46] Tetsu
    Therefore, all fights must be serious ones.
[08:49] Tetsu
    To that end, this item is necessary
[08:51] Tetsu
    to stimulate tension and
    concentration during fights.
[08:55] Aichi
    I understand.
[08:56] Aichi
    Then, if I win this fight, I would like
    for all members of Team Asteroid
[09:01] Aichi
    to stop forcing the use
    of VF Gloves in card shops!
[09:07] Tetsu
    Team Asteroid's motto is,
     "Winners get all! Losers get lost!"
[09:12] Tetsu
    Boy, if you desire the rights
     that come with victory,
[09:15] Tetsu
    then you'll have to be the victor!
[09:20] Aichi
    I'm ready.
[09:22] Tetsu
    What's your name, boy?
[09:23] Aichi
    Aichi Sendou.
[09:25] Tetsu
    I'm Tetsu Shinjou.
[09:27] Tetsu
    I'm ready, too.
[09:29] Tetsu
    So let's begin.
[09:31] The Two
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[09:38] Tetsu
    I ride!
[09:44] Tetsu
    Prisoner Beast!
[09:49] Kyou
    Tetsu uses a clan that unleashes
    powerful skills by building up the Soul...
[09:54] Kyou
    Dark Irregulars.
[09:57] Tetsu
    Soul charge!
[09:59] Kamui
    He's already pumping up his Soul!
[10:01] Tetsu
    That ends my turn!
[10:03] Aichi
    Stand and draw!
[10:06] Aichi
    I ride!
[10:11] Aichi
    Knight Squire, Allen!
[10:27] Tetsu
    I've only ever seen Ren exhibit that power,
[10:30] Tetsu
    so I'm intrigued that
    someone else may also possess it.
[10:35] Tetsu
    It's my turn!
[10:37] Tetsu
    I'm going to test you!
[10:39] Tetsu
    We'll see whether you
    really can exhibit PSYqualia!
[10:56] Tetsu
    Stand and draw!
[11:01] Aichi
    I-I'd been thinking that...
[11:04] Aichi
    whoever had made the gloves
    did it because of their love of Vanguard.
[11:09] Tetsu
    That's right. Ren Suzugamori loves Vanguard.
SIGN    Cardshop Castle
[11:14] Tetsu
    That's why PSYqualia manifested within him.
[11:19] Ren
    Second check.
[11:20] Gallery A
    Another double critical!
[11:22] Gallery B
    That Suzugamori guy won!
[11:24] Asaka
    Don't speak of him impolitely!
[11:26] Opponent
    Seriously?!
[11:31] Opponent
    You rotten skunk!
[11:32] Opponent
    You couldn't win like that without cheating!
[11:36] Asaka
    Ren is the one person who can
    "win like that" without cheating.
[11:43] Tetsu
    Fighters came to him.
[11:44] Tetsu
    They were drawn to Ren, drawn by his strength.
[11:48] Tetsu
    No one dared to rough him up anymore.
[11:51] Tetsu
    These fighters became an organization,
[11:54] Tetsu
    eventually taking on the name Team Asteroid.
[11:57] Tetsu
    However...
[12:01] Asaka
    Ren, if you're free, how about fighting me?
[12:05] Ren
    Nah. There's no point in playing
    against you, Asaka, when I'm sure to win.
[12:09] Asaka
    Ren, you could speak the truth
    perhaps a little more delicately...
[12:15] Tetsu
    Ever since Ren mastered PSYqualia,
[12:18] Tetsu
    no matter who he fought,
    he'd never feel satisfied.
[12:21] Tetsu
    So, in order to ease Ren's boredom...
[12:29] Tetsu
    I have something for you, Ren.
[12:31] Ren
    Oh, what's that?
[12:33] Asaka
    Ren!
[12:35] Tetsu
    Vanguard Fighter's Gloves,
    or VF Gloves for short.
[12:40] Ren
    VF Gloves...
[12:42] Asaka
    What do you use them for?
[12:43] Tetsu
    Vanguard, of course.
[12:46] Ren
    They're used for Vanguard?
[12:48] Tetsu
    Right.
[12:49] Tetsu
    Using these will stimulate tension
    and concentration during a Cardfight.
[12:55] Ren
    I'll understand quicker
    by actually using them in a fight.
[12:58] Asaka
    Then I'll be your opponent.
[13:03] Asaka
    Damage check.
[13:13] Ren
    Asaka?
[13:15] Ren
    Tetsu, what happened to her?
[13:17] Tetsu
    When you fight while wearing VF Gloves,
[13:20] Tetsu
    once they detect the movement
    of placing a card in the Damage Zone,
[13:23] Tetsu
    they deliver a painful electric shock.
[13:26] Ren
    Why pain...?
[13:27] Tetsu
    It represents the pain felt by your Vanguard.
[13:30] Ren
    Huh?
[13:31] Tetsu
    Putting on VF Gloves lets a fighter
    become one with their Vanguard.
[13:36] Ren
    But I already become one with my Vanguard,
    even without using those.
[13:44] Asaka
    These can let me get closer to Ren?!
[13:49] Asaka
    I'll be fine.
[13:51] Ren
    Can you continue?
[13:53] Asaka
    Yes, Ren.
[14:00] Ren
    Still, the design's cool!
[14:06] Asaka
    My Vanguard attacks Blaster Dark!
[14:10] Ren
    No guard.
[14:11] Ren
    Drive check.
[14:12] Ren
    No trigger.
[14:15] Ren
    Damage check.
[14:26] Asaka
    What about the pain, Ren?!
[14:34] Ren
    I told you.
[14:38] Ren
    When I'm fighting, I always
     become one with my Vanguard.
[14:43] Tetsu
    The unit in Ren's imagination feels the pain.
[14:53] Tetsu
    That got me even more intrigued by PSYqualia.
[14:57] Tetsu
    Under the pretext of leveling up,
[14:58] Tetsu
    I made the gloves compulsory
    for all Team Asteroid members.
[15:01] Tetsu
    But no one other than Ren
    ever exhibited PSYqualia.
[15:10] Ren
    Huh? All the shops?
[15:13] Tetsu
    Correct.
[15:14] Tetsu
    If we wish to improve all fighters,
    not just Team Asteroid,
[15:19] Tetsu
    it's imperative that
    outside fights also use VF Gloves.
[15:23] Ren
    You think so?
[15:25] Asaka
    Then I'll handle the logistics.
[15:28] Tetsu
    And so, we dispatched members of
    Team Asteroid to every shop.
[15:33] Tetsu
    I continued my search for fighters
     besides Ren who exhibited PSYqualia,
[15:38] Tetsu
    but I never encountered any.
[15:40] Tetsu
    I was starting to believe
    that PSYqualia was unique to Ren.
[15:45] Tetsu
    This fight should reveal whether it is or not.
[15:48] Tetsu
    Let's find out.
[15:51] Tetsu
    I ride!
[15:58] Tetsu
    Werwolf Sieger!
[16:02] Tetsu
    Furthermore, I call Blood Sacrifice, Ruthven!
[16:07] Tetsu
    Its skill activates!
[16:09] Tetsu
    I move Vroukalakas from
    the Damage Zone to the Soul.
[16:13] Tetsu
    In exchange, I put the top card
    from my deck into the Damage Zone.
[16:17] Tetsu
    Since I chose Vroukalakas, Countercharge!
[16:20] Tetsu
    Putting Vroukalakas into the Soul
    made my Vanguard gain +10,000 power!
[16:29] Kamui
    It's 19,000?!
[16:31] Kyou
    It's too soon to be surprised.
[16:33] Kamui
    Huh?
[16:34] Tetsu
    I call Prisoner Beast.
[16:38] Tetsu
    Its skill activates!
[16:40] Tetsu
    Soulcharge!
[16:41] Aichi
    Now there are five cards in his Soul!
[16:44] Tetsu
    That's right. Since there are
     five cards in the Soul,
[16:47] Tetsu
    Sieger gets +5000 power!
[16:49] Kamui
    Now it's 24,000?!
[16:51] Tetsu
    Prisoner Beast gets +2000 power!
[16:53] Kamui
    That one has 10,000?!
[16:57] Tetsu
    Here I come, Aichi Sendou!
[16:59] Tetsu
    I attack your Vanguard!
[17:02] Tetsu
    Skill activates!
[17:03] Tetsu
    Soulcharge!
[17:05] Kamui
    Even more cards into the Soul!
[17:08] Aichi
    No guard.
[17:10] Tetsu
    You don't fear the pain from the VF Gloves?
[17:13] Tetsu
    I like your spirit.
[17:15] Tetsu
    Drive check!
[17:18] Tetsu
    Critical trigger!
[17:19] Tetsu
    I give the power to Ruthven,
[17:21] Tetsu
    and the extra critical to my Vanguard!
[17:33] Tetsu
    Ruthven attacks your Vanguard,
    boosted by Prisoner Beast!
[17:39] Kyou
    Right now, Ruthven has 29,000 power!
[17:50] Kamui
    3 damage all at once?!
[17:52] Kyou
    Tch!
[17:54] Tetsu
    My turn is over.
[17:56] Aichi
    I ride!
[17:59] Aichi
    Stand up, my avatar!
[18:03] Aichi
    From the military force of planet Cray's
[18:05] Aichi
    hallowed nation of United Sanctuary,
[18:08] Aichi
    Royal Paladin's Sword of Light!
[18:13] Aichi
    Blaster Blade!
[18:16] Kamui
    It's here!
[18:18] Tetsu
    Oh?
[18:19] Kyou
    Show me PSYqualia, Sendou!
[18:23] Aichi
    Ability Blast!
[18:27] Aichi
    Burst Buster!
[18:36] Kamui
    All right!
[18:37] Kamui
    For starters, he's made a unit retire!
[18:39] Aichi
    Next...
[18:40] Aichi
    I call Allen!
[18:44] Aichi
    Allen's skill activates!
[18:45] Aichi
    Counterblast!
[18:49] Aichi
    I superior call Gallatin!
[18:51] Aichi
    Allen gets +3000 power!
[18:54] Aichi
    With its skill, I draw one card!
[18:57] Aichi
    Here I go!
[19:00] Aichi
    Blaster Blade attacks your Vanguard!
[19:06] Aichi
    Drive check!
[19:07] Kamui
    Too bad! No trigger!
[19:15] Kamui
    Now he has 2 damage!
[19:18] Aichi
    Gallatin attacks your Vanguard
    with a boost from Allen!
[19:22] Tetsu
    No trigger.
[19:30] Kamui
    That makes 3 damage!
[19:32] Kamui
    You can do this, Brother Aichi!
[19:35] Aichi
    My turn is over.
[19:37] Tetsu
    My turn!
[19:38] Tetsu
    Stand and draw!
[19:41] Tetsu
    Hmph.
[19:43] Tetsu
    He's been playing normally so far.
[19:45] Tetsu
    He hasn't shown me even a glimpse of PSYqualia.
[19:49] Tetsu
    Unlike Ren, he seems unable to control it.
[19:52] Tetsu
    Here I come, Aichi Sendou!
[19:56] Kyou
    Here it comes!
[19:57] Kamui
    Huh?
[19:59] Tetsu
    I ride!
[20:01] Tetsu
    I summon the king of the undead!
[20:09] Blaster
    Be on guard!
[20:29] Tetsu
    No Life King, Death Anchor!
[20:39] Aichi
    No Life King, Death Anchor...
[20:46] Blaster
    Be on guard.
[20:47] Blaster
    Be on guard!
[20:51] Kamui
    What's wrong, Brother Aichi?!
[20:53] Aichi
    N-Nothing. I'm fine.
[20:57] Tetsu
    It seems Kyou really was telling the truth.
[21:02] Tetsu
    He's exhibiting PSYqualia.
[21:06] Tetsu
    Now we're getting to the real battle!
[21:12] Tetsu
    Show me your PSYqualia, Aichi Sendou!
[21:21] Miwa
    So this is the Team Asteroid hideout?
[21:28] Miwa
    All right, fine. I should be used to it by now.
[21:31] Miwa
    You never do explain anything to me...
[23:10] Asaka
    Hey, Kawanami...
[23:11] Kawanami
    Woof woof!
[23:12] Asaka
    Which clan do you use, again?
[23:14] Kawanami
    Woof arf woof woof!
[23:15] Asaka
    Oh, Megacolony. Why?
[23:17] Kawanami
    Woof woof!
[23:18] Kawanami
    Woof woof! Woof ruff woof woof arf woof!
[23:21] Kawanami
    Woof ahwooooo!
