[00:01] Shin
    Mark's guarding wasn't a waste of time.
[00:04] Nanami
    I hate people who dunno when to give up.
[00:08] Shin
    So you hate me too, huh?
[00:11] Shin
    I'm also bad at giving up.
[00:13] Nanami
    You wanna fight me?
[00:15] Nanami
    Okay, but you'll lose, too.
[00:18] Shin
    Sorry, but I don't see
    any image of myself losing.
[00:22] Nanami
    Then if you do lose, you'll surrender
    that Capital or whatever to Ms. Esuka?
[00:28] Shin
    You're on.
[00:30] Shin
    And if I win...
[00:32] Nanami
    Yeah?
[00:33] Shin
    ...you're gonna apologize to Mark!
[00:40] Nanami
    I don't like you.
[00:43] Nanami
    You took my S Card against my will...
[00:47] Shin
    Against your will?
[00:48] Shin
    So, what's it going to be?
[00:51] Shin
    The paw pads are right here...
[00:54] Nanami
    Forgive me, Ms. Esuka!
[00:58] Shin
    That was a subtle psychological ploy
    taking advantage of your love of cats.
[01:02] Nanami
    How was that subtle?!
[01:03] Esuka
    Love of cats?
[01:06] Nanami
    N-No, Ms. Esuka!
[01:08] Nanami
    Come on, let's get started!
[01:10] Shin
    O-Okay.
[01:11] Shin/Nanami
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[01:15] Shin
    The strength of imagination!
[01:18] Shin
    That's the strength of Vanguard!
[01:23] Shin
    Don't get dominated by
    your opponent's imagination!
[01:26] Shin
    Rewrite that imagination!

[03:05] Nanami
    I don't like you.
[03:11] Shin
    Th-The heck?!
[03:13] Shin
    What else did I do?!
[03:16] Nanami
    I hate your attitude towards Ms. Esuka.
[03:21] Shin
    Hey, why are you so...
[03:24] Shin
    ...uh, zealous about her?
[03:25] Nanami
    What of it?
[03:26] Shin
    Not that there's anything wrong with it, 
    but you seem almost too deferential.
[03:31] Nanami
    I can act how I want.
[03:33] Shin
    Well, of course, but...
[03:36] Shin
    I ride Prometheus of Dancing Lights!
[03:44] Shin
    Come, Parthenos of Holy Verse!
    Diana of Moonlight!
[03:52] Shin
    Here I go!
[03:56] Nanami
    No guard!
[03:59] Nanami
    1 damage!
[04:03] Nanami
    Chestnut Bullet!
[04:10] Shin
    Look, at least tell me
    what your connection to Esuka is.
[04:16] Shin
    What, you won't even tell me that?
[04:19] Nanami
    Fine. Given the situation, I'll tell you.
[04:23] Nanami
    If it weren't for Ms. Esuka,
    I wouldn't be here right now.
[04:27] Shin
    What? You mean...
[04:31] Shin
    ...you're Esuka's daughter?!
[04:35] Esuka/Mikuru
    You Simple-Minded Cinnamon!
[04:37] Nanami
    If I were Ms. Esuka's child,
    how old would that make her?!
[04:42] Tatsuya
    Fascinating...
[04:45] Shin
    Sorry. Go on...
[04:47] Nanami
    Ever since I was little, I've been
    really good at everything.

[04:58] Nanami
    I was used to getting praised
    by my parents and teachers.
[05:02] Nanami
    Every day was boring.
[05:05] Nanami
    I was on the lookout for something
    more interesting, more fun...
[05:11] Nanami
    ...but one day, when I had just about
    given up on ever finding it...
[05:16] Interviewer
    Our guest today is Esuka Hibino.
[05:20] Interviewer
    You were a successful swimsuit model.
[05:23] Interviewer
    What was it that made you want
    to start a chain of card shops?
[05:29] Esuka
    Even as a child, I spent my life searching
    for something more interesting and fun.
[05:37] Esuka
    I eventually came to realize
    that it wouldn't be easy to find.
[05:42] Esuka
    But Vanguard has something
    that goes far beyond what I was seeking.
[05:48] Esuka
    I think that's why.
[05:51] Nanami
    I attack your Vanguard!
[05:54] Opponent A
    Damage check!
[05:58] Opponent A
    Darn it!
[06:02] Gallery A
    She won again!
[06:05] Gallery B
    She's heading up to the S Class floor next!
[06:08] Gallery C
    Who is that girl?!
[06:13] Esuka
    Congratulations.
[06:15] Esuka
    Now you're an S Rank member.
[06:20] Esuka
    What a waste.
[06:22] Esuka
    You're cute, but that surly attitude
    takes away from it.
[06:28] Nanami
    I can act how I want.
[06:30] Esuka
    Sorry. I'm the kind of person
    who speaks her mind.
[06:35] Esuka
    How long have you been playing Vanguard?
[06:38] Nanami
    Just started today.
[06:40] Esuka
    So that's why you borrowed
    a beginner's deck to play.
[06:45] Esuka
    Well, would you be willing to play against me?
[06:49] Nanami
    Fine.
[06:52] Nanami
    I attack your Vanguard!
[06:54] Esuka
    I perfect guard with Cable Sheep!
[06:58] Esuka
    It's my turn.
[07:00] Esuka
    I'm going to finish you off with 
    Holy Great Sage of Black Shadows, Isabelle!
[07:05] Nanami
    No guard!
[07:07] Nanami
    Damage check!
[07:22] Gallery
    I knew she'd win!
[07:23] Esuka
    Was this really your first day?
[07:26] Esuka
    You played extremely well.
[07:38] Shin
    Wait a second!
[07:40] Shin
    You play Vanguard?!
[07:43] Tatsuya
    I'll explain!
[07:45] Tatsuya
    She's so focused on her work
    as the company president
[07:47] Tatsuya
    that she lacks the time
    to participate in tournaments,
[07:51] Tatsuya
    but Esuka Hibino is one of
    the top fighters in the country.
[07:54] Shin
    Y-You're that amazing?!
[07:57] Esuka
    You didn't know?
[07:59] Shin
    Well, I didn't exactly care...
[08:02] Tonori
    Unbelievable, yo!
[08:04] Nanami
    Now I swear I'll beat you!
[08:06] Nanami
    I ride!

    Talisman Angel!
[08:38] Nanami
    Then I will...
[08:44] Nanami
    No trigger.
[08:48] Shin
    Draw trigger!
[09:04] Tonori
    As always, her attacks are efficient, yo.
[09:06] Shin
    H-Hold on!
[09:08] Shin
    You weren't done with your story!
[09:11] Nanami
    I don't wanna talk to someone
    who's that ignorant about Ms. Esuka.
[09:14] Shin
    Come on, you've got me curious!
[09:17] Esuka
    It is a curious story.
[09:21] Esuka
    Nanami.
[09:23] Esuka
    Would you mind if I continued the story?
[09:27] Nanami
    If you'd like, Ms. Esuka...
[09:30] Esuka
    One day, not long after I defeated her...
[09:35] Nanami
    I'll finish you off with Arboros Dragon, Timber!
[09:41] Gallery D
    That's ten wins in a row!
[09:44] Esuka
    You've got your own deck now, huh?
[09:49] Esuka
    Would you play against me?
[09:53] Esuka
    How about it?
[09:55] Nanami
    No thanks.
[09:59] Esuka
    Ever since that first day,
    Nanami has refused to play me.
[10:06] Shin
    Why?
[10:08] Nanami
    I told you before.
[10:09] Nanami
    I hate people who don't know when to give up.
[10:13] Nanami
    And right now, I'm not able to beat Ms. Esuka.
[10:17] Nanami
    I can tell without even playing her.
[10:20] Shin
    That's why you won't fight her?
[10:24] Shin
    I also have someone I just can't beat,
    no matter how many times I play him.
[10:33] Rive
    I'll finish you off!
[10:40] Shin
    How did you draw a heal there?!
[10:42] Shin
    You're too lucky, Master!
[10:47] Rive
    Luck's an ability in itself, Lemon!
[10:49] Shin
    One more time!
[10:51] Rive
    Sure!
[10:53] Rive
    Shoot, I can't! I've gotta get to work!
[10:55] Rive
    You work on your skills, Shinemon!
[10:58] Shin
    I'll be waiting for you tomorrow, Master Rive!
[11:00] Rive
    I'll beat you then, too!
[11:02] Shin
    Tomorrow is the day I win!
[11:09] Shin
    That's right! One day, I swear I'll defeat him!
[11:15] Shin
    I'll win!
[11:20] Shin
    The entirety of destiny is inscribed
    within the blinding darkness!
[11:26] Shin
    And I am the one who recites it!
[11:32] Shin
    Gleaming Lord, Uranus!

[11:57] Shin
    Uranus's skill activates!

[12:25] Shin
    This clinches it!
[12:27] Nanami
    Oh yeah?
[12:29] Shin
    Then I'll be your opponent!
[12:37] Shin
    I have read your fate!
[12:40] Shin
    No trigger!
[12:43] Nanami
    A critical trigger!
[12:47] Tatsuya
    It's a 53,000 power attack!
[12:52] Nanami
    Swearing that you'll win someday?
[12:55] Nanami
    Stuff like that...
[12:57] Nanami
    ...is just a waste of time!
[12:59] Nanami
    I ride Arboros Dragon, Sephirot!
[13:04] Nanami
    Imaginary Gift, Force II!
[13:12] Nanami
    Fruits Basket Elf's skill activates!
[13:16] Nanami
    I superior call two Plant Token units!
[13:23] Nanami
    And then...
[13:24] Nanami
    ...I call Timber! Its skill activates!
[13:27] Nanami
    I superior call Plant Token!
[13:31] Nanami
    Sephirot's skill activates!
[13:34] Nanami
    I superior call two Plant Token units!
[13:45] Tatsuya
    The field is crammed with Tokens!
[13:48] Mark
    Moreover, they represent
    an enormous amount of power!
[13:50] Tonori
    Looks like it'll end this turn, yo.
[13:55] Shin
    Battle Maiden, Kukurihime!
[14:00] Nanami
    Then my Vanguard will attack!
[14:06] Tatsuya
    That attack has 33,000 power and two criticals!
[14:11] Nanami
    Ready to give up yet?
[14:14] Nanami
    I'm gonna draw two criticals...
[14:22] Shin
    No guard!
[14:25] Tonori
    Guess the guy's given up, yo.
[14:30] Mikuru
    Shinemon is going to lose?!
[14:33] Tatsuya
    If Nanami's prediction is correct,
    and she draws two critical triggers...
[14:38] Mark
    Verily, Shinemon will lose.
[14:42] Mikuru
    Oh no...
[14:44] Nanami
    Twin drive!
[14:48] Tonori
    A critical trigger, yo!
[14:50] Tatsuya
    If the next one is another critical...
[14:52] Mark
    ...Shinemon will...
[14:54] Nanami
    Second check!
[14:58] Mikuru
    Please, God!
[15:12] Mikuru
    Thank God!
[15:15] Nanami
    I'm not done attacking!
[15:19] Nanami
    I'm counting on you!
[15:22] Tatsuya
    Now it's a 35,000 power attack!
[15:26] Mark
    Uranus's power is 13,000!
[15:29] Mikuru
    Then this time, Shinemon will...
[15:44] Shin
    Thank you!
[15:46] Parthenos
    May fortune smile on you, my Vanguard!
[15:50] Nanami
    What?!
[15:52] Shin
    It's my turn!
[15:53] Nanami
    After giving up once before...
[15:55] Nanami
    Must be nice to be lucky.
[15:58] Shin
    I never gave up!
[16:01] Shin
    Know what luck is?
[16:03] Shin
    It's a gift that only people who don't
    give up to the very end can get!

    Valkerion gets triple drive!
[17:14] Tonori
    What the hey?!
[17:18] Tonori
    Grade 5, 70,000 power, and triple drive?!
[17:22] Tonori
    No way she can defend
    against an attack like that!
[17:25] Nanami
    That's not all.
[17:27] Nanami
    Uranus hasn't attacked yet, either!
[17:30] Nanami
    And right now, Uranus has 63,000 power!
[17:34] Tonori
    For reals?!
[17:37] Shin
    Uranus attacks your Vanguard!
[17:44] Nanami
    I guard with two Watering Elf units and Kaivant!
[17:50] Nanami
    I intercept with two Plant units!
[17:53] Shin
    Twin drive!

    First check!
[17:57] Tatsuya
    No trigger!
[17:58] Shin
    Second check!
[18:02] Tonori
    A draw trigger!
[18:06] Tatsuya
    She guarded against that attack!
[18:08] Mark
    Though she be the enemy, I sing her crazes.
[18:12] Tatsuya
    S-Sing her crazes?
[18:14] Mark

    I'm sorry. So sorry!

    Third check!
[19:05] Nanami
    A double critical?!
[19:16] Tonori
    6 damage, yo...
[19:25] Shin
    To be honest, I didn't expect you
    to stop even Uranus's attack!
[19:31] Nanami
    But it was just a waste of time...
[19:34] Shin
    Not at all!
[19:36] Shin
    You mean to beat Esuka someday, right?
[19:39] Nanami
    Wha...?!
[19:41] Shin
    I doubt you'd hang out here otherwise.
[19:46] Nanami
    It's only because I respect Ms. Esuka!
[19:49] Shin
    And I respect Master Rive!
[19:52] Shin
    That's why I wanna beat him someday!
[19:58] Shin
    You don't know when to give up, either!
[20:07] Shin
    Huh? What?!
[20:09] Shin
    Did I do something wrong?!
[20:17] Nanami
    Sorry.
[20:20] Mark
    Verily, it is but water under the bridge.
[20:30] Nanami
    It's kitty!

    I'm in heaven!

    N-Nanami...

    Here, I'll show you how much I don't care!

    Sorry, kitty!
[20:51] Nanami
    Oh nooo!

    In that case...

    The thing about luck...
[21:13] Esuka
    "It's a gift that only people who don't
    give up to the very end can get."
[21:17] Esuka
    The manager always used to say that.
[21:21] Manager
    "Luck's an ability in itself," huh?
[21:24] Manager
    It's just like Rive said.
[21:27] Rive
    Manager...
[21:28] Manager
    The thing about luck...
[21:29] Manager
    It's a gift that only people who don't
    give up to the very end can get.

    You know about the manager?!
[21:39] Mikuru
    Shinemon...
[21:41] Mikuru
    In her office, there's a photo of her
    with the manager and his family.
[21:48] Shin
    What?!
[21:50] Esuka
    I aspire to be like him.
[21:55] Shin
    Wh-Why?!
[21:57] Shin
    I aspire to be like him!
[21:59] Shin
    A manager, just like him!
[22:03] Esuka
    You're not qualified
    to call yourself a manager yet.
[22:09] Esuka
    You've never even reopened the shop.

[24:21] Esuka
    Then I'll have to punish you, Nanami.
[24:23] Nanami
    What kind of punishment? Sounds exciting...
[24:25] Esuka
    Hmm, perhaps the tickling punishment?
[24:28] Nanami
    Tickling?!
[24:28] Esuka
    Or would you prefer a spanking?
[24:30] Nanami
    Spanking?!
[24:31] Esuka
    I've got a better one!
[24:33] Nanami
    Wh-What could be even more punishing...!?
[24:35] Esuka
    How about no contact
    with cats for a whole week?
[24:38] Nanami
    N-No contact?!
