**[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!

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!

And thank you, Aichi.
