[00:04] Actor
    You may be asking, "Has the competition
    with the Student Council already started?"
[00:09] Aichi
    Actually, it hasn't.
[00:11] Aichi
    Let's back up a bit.
[00:17] Naoki
    We're gonna beat 'em easily!
[00:20] Shingo
    It won't even be close.
[00:21] Naitou; Suwabe
    Stand up,
[00:23] Naitou; Suwabe
    Vanguard!
SIGN    Student Council
SIGN    Dimension 2
     Aichi's the Coach!?
[02:04] Girl
    What are they up to?
[02:11] Naitou
    And of all things, why must I
    be coached by you, a first-year?
[02:16] Suwabe
    I'm still surprised that you've
    played Vanguard before, Nagashiro.
[02:20] Maki
    As a member of the Student Council,
[02:23] Maki
    it's only natural for me to be
    well-versed in all club activities.
[02:28] Naitou
    I ride Lily of the Valley Musketeer, Rebecca.
[02:31] Naitou
    That was fine, right?
[02:33] Naitou
    It's your turn.
[02:34] Maki
    No, not yet.
[02:37] Maki
    When a player rides upon
    Broccolini Musketeer, Kirah,
[02:40] Maki
    its skill has them draw one card.
[02:43] Maki
    With Vanguard, you mustn't forget
    the importance of each card in your hand.
[02:50] Naitou
    I call Maiden of Blossom Rain!
[02:54] Maki
    Don't do that!
[02:55] Maki
    That unit is a perfect guard,
    which is vital for defense.
[03:00] Maki
    You can't just call it unthinkingly.
[03:04] Naitou
    Despite me being a genius, I find
     your explanations difficult to comprehend.
[03:08] Naitou
    I give up. Vanguard just doesn't suit me.
[03:13] Naitou
    Above all else, it isn't global!
[03:17] Aichi
    It is global!
[03:23] Aichi
    S-Sorry to interrupt!
[03:25] Naitou
    How is it global? Enlighten me!
[03:28] Aichi
    S-Sure.
[03:30] Aichi
    Vanguard is a wonderful global tool
[03:32] Aichi
    because, if you have a deck,
    you can communicate with anyone.
[03:36] Aichi
    Right, Shingo?
[03:38] Shingo
    Y-Yes, that's correct!
[03:40] Shingo
    And apparently Sendou corresponds
    with fighters from other countries.
[03:44] Naitou
    What?! From other countries?!
[03:46] Naitou
    That is global!
[03:50] Naitou
    However, she's no good as a coach.
[03:52] Naitou
    Aichi Sendou, Asia champion...
[03:56] Naitou
    I bestow upon you the privilege
    of coaching this globalist!
[04:04] Aichi
    And that's how I became their teacher.
[04:08] Suwabe
    We're going to fight, straight away?
[04:12] Aichi
    You learn better through experience.
[04:15] Naitou
    Sendou says that, too!
[04:16] Shingo
    He's essentially helping the enemy.
[04:20] Misaki
    But it's a very Aichi thing to do.
[04:23] Aichi
    We'll fight without
    using the cards' skills this time.
[04:27] Aichi
    Too much info at the start can be overwhelming.
[04:32] Aichi
    First, choose a grade 0 card from your deck
    and set it face-down on the board.
[04:39] Suwabe
    Grade 0...
[04:43] Aichi
    That card is your First Vanguard.
[04:47] Suwabe
    My First Vanguard...
[04:49] Aichi
    Try to imagine it.
[04:52] Naitou
    Imagine?
[04:53] Aichi
    Yes.
[04:59] Naitou
    Wh-Where are we?!
[05:03] Maki
    It's the planet Cray!
[05:05] Aichi
    That's right.
[05:07] Aichi
    Vanguard fights take place on this planet.
[05:11] Aichi
    We've just landed on
    the planet Cray as astral bodies.
[05:17] Aichi
    As we reveal our First Vanguards,
[05:19] Aichi
    we "Ride" them, thereby becoming our Vanguards.
[05:22] Aichi
    Then we command the units we "Called,"
    and that's how the fight begins.
[05:28] Aichi; Suwabe
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[05:32] Aichi
    I ride!
[05:35] Aichi
    Glyme!
[05:40] Suwabe
    I, uh, ride!
[05:42] Suwabe
    Machining Worker Ant!
[05:46] Aichi
    I go first.
[05:48] Aichi
    I begin by drawing one card from my deck.
[05:51] Aichi
    And then, at the start of my turn,
    I can promote my Vanguard by one grade.
[05:58] Aichi
    I ride!
[06:00] Aichi
    Grade 1.
[06:02] Aichi
    Knight Squire, Allen!
[06:06] Aichi
    Furthermore, I can call units of
    the same grade as my Vanguard or less
[06:10] Aichi
    to these five spots.
[06:13] Aichi
    I call a rear-guard!
[06:17] Aichi
    Grade 1. Pongal!
[06:22] Naitou
    Here he comes!
[06:24] Aichi
    Now I'd attack!
[06:25] Aichi
    Except the one who goes first
     can't attack on the first turn.
[06:30] Aichi
    My turn is over.
    Now it's your turn, Vice-President.
[06:33] Suwabe
    O-Okay.
[06:36] Suwabe
    Draw!
[06:40] Suwabe
    I ride!
[06:44] Suwabe
    Grade 1. Machining Hornet!
[06:49] Suwabe
    I call a rear-guard!
[06:55] Naitou
    Good! Now, attack!
[06:56] Suwabe
    Right.
[06:58] Suwabe
    My Vanguard attacks your Vanguard!
[07:01] Aichi
    When the Vanguard of an
    attacking side attacks a Vanguard,
[07:04] Aichi
    a trigger check occurs.
[07:06] Aichi
    This is when you say, "Drive check."
[07:08] Naitou
    "Drive check"?
[07:11] Aichi
    You turn over one card from your deck,
    and if that card has a trigger icon,
[07:15] Aichi
    you can "trigger" the effect
    indicated by that icon.
[07:19] Aichi
    Try turning over a card.
[07:21] Suwave
    D-Drive check.
[07:26] Maki
    A critical trigger!
[07:28] Naitou
    "Critical trigger"?
[07:30] Aichi
    It's a trigger that increases
    the damage to your opponent by one.
[07:36] Aichi
    So I took 2 damage.
[07:39] Aichi
    Now I do a damage check.
[07:40] Suwabe
    "Damage check"?
[07:42] Aichi
    When an attack hits you,
[07:44] Aichi
    you do a check for each point of damage taken.
[07:48] Aichi
    First check.
[07:49] Aichi
    No trigger.
[07:51] Aichi
    Second check.
[07:53] Aichi
    No trigger here, either.
[07:56] Aichi
    If a fighter accumulates six cards
    in their Damage Zone like this, they lose.
[08:03] Maki
    Vice-President, you can attack again.
[08:07] Suwabe
    Hornet attacks your Vanguard!
[08:11] Aichi
    Damage check!
[08:15] Naitou
    So now you have 3 damage?
[08:18] Suwabe
    My turn is over, right?
[08:20] Aichi
    Yes.
[08:22] Aichi
    It's my turn!
[08:23] Aichi
    Stand and draw!
[08:25] Aichi
    I ride!
[08:28] Aichi
    Stand up, my avatar!
[08:31] Aichi
    Blaster Blade!
[08:35] Aichi
    I move Pongal to the back row and call!
[08:40] Aichi
    Grade 2. Knight of Silence, Gallatin!
[08:44] Aichi
    Grade 0 and grade 1 units like Pongal
     have an ability called "Boost."
[08:50] Naitou
    "Boost"?
[08:52] Aichi
    It's when a unit in the back row adds power
    to the unit in the front row during an attack.
[08:57] Aichi
    With a boost from Pongal,
    Gallatin attacks your Vanguard!
[09:03] Naitou
    So with Pongal's 8000,
[09:05] Naitou
    Gallatin now has 18,000 power?
[09:08] Suwabe
    Wh-What should I do?
[09:10] Aichi
    Do you have any cards
    in your hand that say "Shield"?
[09:13] Suwabe
    Where?
[09:15] Maki
    Here.
SIGN    Shield
[09:17] Suwabe
    It does have that...
[09:19] Aichi
    It means that you can block the attack
    by calling that unit as a guardian.
[09:24] Naitou
    O-Okay, try it!
[09:26] Suwabe
    Right.
[09:27] Suwabe
    I call!
[09:29] Suwabe
    Shelter Beetle!
[09:32] Aichi
    With the added 15,000 shield,
[09:34] Aichi
    Hornet now has 23,000 power.
[09:37] Naitou
    And that number surpasses yours.
[09:39] Naitou
    Now I see!
[09:41] Aichi
    Cards that are called as guardians...
[09:43] Suwabe
    Th-Thank you.
[09:45] Beetle
    No problem.
[09:47] Aichi
    ...retire once their duty is done.
[09:49] Aichi
    Please place it in the Drop Zone.
[09:52] Suwabe
    Here, right?
[09:53] Naitou
    Now, Vice-President! Counterattack!
[09:55] Aichi
    But I can still make an attack.
[09:59] Naitou
    Then do it already!
[10:01] Aichi
    Sorry.
[10:03] Aichi
    My Vanguard attacks your Vanguard.
[10:07] Naitou
    Vice-President, use this one!
[10:09] Suwabe
    M-Machining Mantis guards!
[10:12] Naitou
    That gives you 13,000.
[10:15] Naitou
    That means Blaster Blade's
    10,000-power attack won't get through!
[10:18] Aichi
    Are you sure?
[10:20] Aichi
    Drive check!
[10:22] Naitou
    A critical trigger?!
[10:24] Aichi
    Triggers also have the effect
    of adding 10,000 power to a unit.
[10:29] Naitou
    In other words, Blaster Blade
    now has 2 criticals and 20,000 power?!
[10:41] Suwabe
    Damage check, right?
[10:43] Aichi
    That's right.
[10:45] Suwabe
    First check.
[10:49] Suwabe
    Second check!
[10:53] Naitou
    That makes 2 damage for us...
[10:56] Aichi
    Now it's your turn, Vice-President.
[10:59] Suwabe
    O-Okay.
[11:00] Suwabe
    I ride!
[11:04] Suwabe
    Grade 2. Machining Mantis!
[11:08] Suwabe
    Hornet moves to the back row,
[11:10] Suwabe
    and I call another Mantis to the front row.
[11:13] Suwabe
    Furthermore, I call a Hornet to the back row.
[11:20] Naitou
    Good! Now, counterattack!
[11:22] Suwabe
    With a boost from Hornet,
    my Vanguard attacks your Vanguard!
[11:27] Aichi
    No guard!
[11:28] Suwabe
    Drive check!
[11:30] Naitou
    Good! A critical trigger!
[11:33] Suwabe
    But I already have enough power. What a waste.
[11:36] Aichi
    In this situation, you can give
    the trigger's effects to different units.
[11:42] Suwabe
    Then...
[11:43] Suwabe
    ...I give the critical to my Vanguard,
[11:45] Suwabe
    and the power to my other Mantis.
[11:49] Aichi
    Damage check!
[11:51] Aichi
    First check!
[11:53] Aichi
    Second check!
[11:56] Suwabe
    A critical trigger!
[11:57] Naitou
    That's nothing to worry about.
[11:59] Naitou
    You're the one doing the attacking!
[12:02] Maki
    Precisely.
[12:04] Aichi
    I give the power to Blaster Blade.
[12:06] Maki
    With that, Blaster Blade now has 20,000 power.
[12:09] Naitou
    What?!
[12:11] Suwabe
    But this Mantis also has
    the power from a critical.
[12:14] Suwabe
    With a boost from Hornet,
    the total will be 27,000.
[12:18] Naitou
    Good! Now, attack!
[12:20] Suwabe
    Right!
[12:21] Aichi
    Please, Gallatin!
[12:24] Gallatin
    No problem.
[12:25] Aichi
    "Intercept."
[12:27] Aichi
    Only grade 2 units have this ability.
[12:30] Aichi
    It means they can guard from the front row.
[12:33] Naitou
    Y-You should have mentioned that earlier!
[12:36] Suwabe
    But President...
[12:38] Suwabe
    Sendou already has 5 damage.
[12:41] Naitou
    What?!
[12:42] Naitou
    Good! Now, finish him off!
[12:44] Suwabe
    But I don't have
    any other units that can attack.
[12:49] Naitou
    I meant on the next turn!
[12:55] Shingo
    Will Sendou be all right?
[12:58] Naoki
    Of course he'll be all right!
[13:14] Aichi
    I ride!
[13:19] Aichi
    Grade 3. Monarch Sanctuary Alfred!
[13:25] Aichi
    Imaginary Gift, Force!
[13:31] Naitou
    "Imaginary Gift"?
[13:33] Aichi
    As part of the power I gain when
    my Vanguard is promoted to grade 3,
[13:37] Aichi
    the Force that I selected gives
    +10,000 power to the unit in this circle.
[13:43] Naitou
    Then that Monarch's power is 23,000?!
[13:47] Aichi
    Yes.
[13:48] Aichi
    And then I call Gallatin!
[13:51] Aichi
    My Vanguard attacks your Vanguard!
[13:53] Naitou
    Okay, we'll guard with this!
[13:54] Suwabe
    Wait!
[13:55] Suwabe
    If Sendou gets a trigger,
    using this would be a waste.
[13:59] Suwabe
    No guard!
[14:04] Aichi
    Twin drive!
[14:05] Naitou
    "Twin drive"?
[14:07] Aichi
    Yes.
SIGN    Twin Drive
[14:08] Aichi
    A grade 3 can do two drive checks.
[14:12] Aichi
    First check!
[14:14] Aichi
    Second check!
[14:17] Maki
    A heal trigger!
[14:19] Aichi
    I give the power to Gallatin.
[14:21] Aichi
    And then...
[14:22] Aichi
    ...with a heal trigger, if your damage
    is the same or greater than your opponent's,
[14:26] Aichi
    you can heal 1 damage point.
[14:29] Naitou
    So you went back to 4 damage...
[14:35] Suwabe
    Damage check!
[14:38] Maki
    A draw trigger!
[14:40] Maki
    You can draw one card from your deck.
[14:44] Suwabe
    Then I'll give the power to my Vanguard.
[14:47] Aichi
    With a boost from Pongal, Gallatin attacks!
[14:51] Suwabe
    Shelter Beetle guards!
[14:54] Aichi
    Now you're getting it.
[14:57] Suwabe
    Stand and draw!
[15:02] Suwabe
    What's this fancy shield?
[15:05] Naitou
    That's...! You told me
    about it at school, Nagashiro...
[15:09] Naitou
    What was it, again?
[15:11] Naitou
    Ah! An absolute guard!
[15:14] Maki
    That's "perfect guard."
[15:16] Maki
    It can block your opponent's attack,
    no matter what their total is.
[15:20] Naitou
    It's amazing.
[15:23] Suwabe
    I... I ride!
[15:27] Suwabe
    Grade 3. Machining Stag Beetle!
[15:32] Suwabe
    Imaginary Gift. Right?
[15:35] Suwabe
    Imaginary Gift, Protect II!
[15:42] Suwabe
    With this, Mantis gets
    +5000 power and +10,000 shield.
[15:47] Naoki
    "II"? Did Protect always work like that?
[15:50] Maki
    Each clan has two kinds of Imaginary Gifts.
[15:55] Maki
    Don't tell me you didn't know that.
[15:59] Shingo
    Ishida is more or less a beginner.
[16:02] Naoki
    Say what?!
[16:03] Naitou
    I have a proposal!
[16:05] Naitou
    From this point on,
    why don't we use the cards' skills, too?
[16:10] Misaki
    That jerk, suggesting that now!
[16:13] Shin
    Now, now, Misaki.
[16:15] Shin
    Won't this just make it more interesting?
[16:17] Naitou
    Of course, you may use skills as well.
[16:23] Naitou
    Good! Now go, Vice-President!
[16:25] Suwabe
    R-Right!
[16:26] Suwabe
    Stag Beetle's skill activates!
[16:29] Shingo
    Stag Beetle can call up to
    two cards from the Soul, which stay at rest.
[16:33] Naoki
    Nothin' to worry about, then.
[16:35] Shingo
    On the contrary. Those called units
    also add their power to Stag Beetle's.
[16:40] Naoki
    What?!
[16:42] Suwabe
    I call Machining Mantis and
    Machining Hornet from the Soul!
[16:47] Naitou
    With that, Stag Beetle has 29,000 power!
[16:50] Suwabe
    Next, with a boost from Hornet,
    I attack your Vanguard!
[16:54] Naitou
    Take that 37,000-power attack!
[17:01] Naitou
    We can beat him!
    We're going to beat the Asia champion!
[17:05] Aichi
    I guard!
[17:06] Aichi
    Bringer of Good Luck, Epona!
    Yggdrasil Maiden, Elaine!
[17:11] Naitou
    The total is 48,000?!
[17:14] Maki
    Vice-President, you still have a twin drive!
[17:17] Suwabe
    Oh, that's right.
[17:20] Suwabe
    First check!
[17:22] Suwabe
    Second check!
[17:24] Suwabe
    Critical trigger!
[17:26] Suwabe
    I give all of the effects
    to my left-side Mantis!
[17:29] Naitou
    Finish him off with that!
[17:32] Suwabe
    It attacks your Vanguard!
[17:38] Aichi
    Thank you!
[17:39] Elaine
    No problem.
[17:42] Naitou
    N-Not again...
[17:47] Aichi
    It's my turn.
[17:51] Aichi
    Once more, I ride Monarch Sanctuary Alfred!
[17:55] Aichi
    Imaginary Gift, Force I!
[18:00] Aichi
    I can use skills too, right?
[18:03] Naitou
    N-Naturally. Use them or lose them.
[18:07] Aichi
    Then I will.
[18:09] Aichi
    Monarch's skill activates!
[18:12] Aichi
    Blaster Blade moves from
    the Drop Zone to my hand.
[18:15] Maki
    With that, Monarch has
    38,000 power and two criticals!
[18:20] Naitou; Suwabe
    Wha...?!
[18:21] Aichi
    I call!
[18:22] Aichi
    Blaster Blade!
[18:30] Maki
    And Blaster Blade also gets +10,000 power!
[18:34] Naitou; Suwabe
    Wha...?!
[18:35] Aichi
    Blaster Blade's skill activates!
[18:42] Maki
    That unit is retired.
[18:45] Aichi
    Gallatin attacks your other Mantis
    with a boost from Pongal!
[18:50] Suwabe
    N-No guard.
[18:54] Aichi
    My Vanguard attacks your Vanguard!
[19:02] Naitou
    Vice-President! Use an absolute guard!
[19:04] Maki
    That's "perfect guard."
[19:06] Suwabe
    Paralyze Madonna!
[19:08] Naitou
    W-We managed to survive that...
[19:11] Aichi
    Twin drive!
[19:13] Aichi
    First check!
[19:15] Maki
    A critical trigger!
[19:17] Aichi
    I give all of the effects to Blaster Blade.
[19:19] Aichi
    Second check!
[19:21] Suwabe
    A critical trigger?!
[19:23] Naitou
    Then...
[19:25] Maki
    Blaster Blade has 3 criticals.
[19:28] Suwabe
    3 criticals?!
[19:30] Aichi
    Blaster Blade attacks your Vanguard!
[19:33] Suwabe
    N-No guard.
[19:47] Suwabe
    First check!
[19:52] Naitou
    A heal trigger! We heal 1 damage point!
[19:54] Maki
    No, we don't!
[19:55] Maki
    Sendou has more damage than
    the vice-president, so it won't work!
[20:03] Suwabe
    Second check!
[20:10] Suwabe
    Third check...
[20:18] Maki
    6 damage...
[20:21] Suwabe
    I lost.
[20:25] Naitou
    Our first time against the Asia champion,
     and we made it this far...
[20:30] Naitou
    It's as though we won, really.
[20:33] Naitou
    My global talent is scary!
[20:40] Aichi
    Thank you for the game.
[20:42] Eru
    I was watching.
[20:46] Aichi
    It's you!
[20:48] Eru
    My name is Eru. Eru Nakagami.
[20:51] Eru
    Also known as God-Hand Eru!
[20:54] Eru
    Aichi Sendou, you'll be a worthy opponent
    for me to unleash my power upon.
[21:00] Aichi
    But I'm not participating in the competition.
[21:06] Eru
    Consider yourself blessed that
    you need not face this destructive force!
[21:10] Eru
    But I will attain the promised land!
[21:14] Eru
    Just don't forget that.
[21:16] Eru
    Farewell.
[21:20] Misaki
    How long was he here, watching?
[21:27] Aichi
    I'm looking forward to the competition!
[21:29] Naoki
    Sheesh, that Aichi...
[21:32] Shingo
    But he really does look happy.
[21:34] Misaki
    New Vanguard fighters
    are worth being happy about.
[21:40] Maki
    I believe you understand the rules now.
[21:41] Naitou
    And who do you think you're talking to?
[21:44] Suwabe
    President, do you have a secret plan?
[21:46] Naitou
    Of course. I'm a genius.
[21:49] Naitou
    "Feel as though you're riding a big ship!"
[21:53] Maki
    That idiom doesn't really
    translate well literally.
[21:57] Maki
    It would have been better if
    you'd said, "You're in good hands."
[22:00] Naitou
    You could say that, too!
[22:03] Suwabe
    You certainly are a genius, President.
[22:05] Naitou
    You can say that again!
[22:07] Maki
    I just hope his "big ship" isn't the Titanic.
[22:11] Naitou
    Ride the big ship!
[23:46] Narrator
    The 30-second card intro segment!
[23:49] Narrator
    Today's featured card is
    Megacolony's fearsome weapon,
[23:52] Narrator
    Machining Stag Beetle!
SIGN    Machining Stag Beetle
[23:54] Narrator
    When it's placed, you can call two units
    from the Soul as resting rear-guards.
[23:58] Narrator
    Then those two called
    rear-guard units increase its power.
[24:01] Narrator
    While increasing both its own power
    and the number of rear-guards,
[24:04] Narrator
    it also gains an Imaginary Gift: Protect.
[24:07] Narrator
    Easy to use, this unit provides a
    superior balance of offense and defense.
[24:10] Narrator
    You too should use
    this card to "Ride The Vanguard"!
SIGN    Ride The Vanguard!
[24:15] Shin
    We're closed already.
[24:17] Shin
    Huh? The Student Council president...
[24:19] Naitou
    Manager, would you put together
    a Great Nature deck for me?
[24:22] Shin
    Again? Why?
[24:23] Naitou
    Great Nature is the planet Cray's highest
    institute of education, where geniuses gather!
[24:28] Shin
    Y-Yes...
[24:29] Shin
    But they're animals...
[24:30] Naitou
    They're a global clan,
    perfect for a genius like me!
[24:33] Naitou
    With them, my victory
    in the competition is assured!
[24:36] Shin
    Understood.
[24:37] Shin
    I'll build your deck with all my know-how!
