[00:14] Tetsu
    No Life King, Death Anchor!
[00:21] Aichi
    No Life King, Death Anchor...
[00:28] Blaster
    Be on guard.
[00:29] Blaster
    Be on guard!
[00:35] Tetsu
    Show me your PSYqualia, Aichi Sendou!
[00:43] Aichi
    Huh?
[00:44] Aichi
    What do you mean by, "be on guard"?
[00:48] Tetsu
    Come to me!
[00:49] Tetsu
    Doreen the Thruster!
[00:51] Tetsu
    Gwynn the Ripper!
[00:54] Tetsu
    Skill activates!
[00:56] Tetsu
    Soul charge!
[00:58] Tetsu
    Is this any time to be distracted?!
[01:03] Aichi
    Gallatin!
[01:04] Tetsu
    Next will be...
[01:06] Tetsu
    ...you!
[01:09] Unit
    Leave it to me!
[01:11] Aichi
    Iseult!
[01:13] Tetsu
    But I got a critical trigger.
[01:15] Tetsu
    I entrust it to Gwynn the Ripper!
[01:18] Blaster
    Be on guard.
[01:22] Aichi
    Against that?
[01:27] Aichi
    No Life King, Death Anchor...
[01:30] Aichi
    Grade 3... 12,000 power...
[01:34] Kamui
    B-Brother Aichi?
[01:36] Aichi
    Twin drive... Imaginary Gift is Protect...
[01:40] Blaster
    Be on guard...
[01:42] Blaster
    ...my Vanguard!
[01:46] Aichi
    Something's coming!
[01:49] Tetsu
    Go, Gwynn!
[01:50] Tetsu
    Together with Prisoner Beast!
[02:02] Kamui
    Careful!
[02:06] Kyou
    That wasn't even the final blow, so why...?
[02:10] Kyou
    What's going on here?!
[02:12] Tetsu
    His resonance has been amplified.
[02:15] Tetsu
    In other words...
[02:16] Tetsu
    Aichi Sendou is experiencing
    his units' damage as if it were his own.
[02:21] Kyou
    If that's true, then maybe...
[02:26] Tetsu
    Haven't you noticed?
[02:28] Tetsu
    For the past few minutes,
[02:30] Tetsu
    he's been exhibiting PSYqualia.
SIGN    Image 20 Reunion
[04:13] Kyou
    What do you mean, Tetsu?!
[04:15] Kyou
    This never happens to Ren!
[04:17] Tetsu
    That's because Ren has
    total control over his PSYqualia.
[04:22] Kamui
    Then would ya explain it to me?!
SIGN    Psy-Casserole
[04:25] Kamui
    Since yesterday, this guy's been irritating me
    with his talk about that "psy-casserole" stuff!
[04:30] Kyou
    It's PSYqualia.
[04:33] Tetsu
    How much information
    can you learn from a card?
[04:38] Kamui
    That's obvious.
[04:39] Kamui
    Grade, power, shield, special abilities...
[04:43] Kamui
    And, uh...
[04:45] Tetsu
    It's different for someone with PSYqualia.
[04:48] Tetsu
    When his PSYqualia manifests...
[04:52] Tetsu
    ...it greatly amplifies his resonance,
    and creates a cognitive breakthrough.
[04:59] Tetsu
    This means that...
[05:01] Tetsu
    In addition to cognitive expansion
    and increased sensitivity,
[05:04] Tetsu
    he also gains powerful intuition and insight,
[05:08] Tetsu
    as well as linkages to the residents of
    the planet Cray depicted on the cards,
[05:12] Tetsu
    and even the capability
    to predict the flow of the fight.
[05:18] Aichi
    I don't know whether or not
    I actually have that ability.
[05:24] Aichi
    But I do know that this fight
    is one I can't afford to lose!
[05:29] Aichi
    I ride!
[05:30] Aichi
    The master of paladins!
[05:35] Aichi
    King of Knights, Alfred!
[05:42] Aichi
    Imaginary Gift! Force!
[05:47] Aichi
    Attend me, Blaster Blade!
[05:51] Blaster
    Yes, my Vanguard.
[05:58] Blaster
    This opponent is dangerous.
[06:00] Blaster
    Be on guard!
[06:01] Aichi
    I understand.
[06:03] Aichi
    But I don't know what to do about it.
[06:06] Aichi
    Knight Squire, Allen!
[06:07] Aichi
    Knight of Silence, Gallatin!
[06:10] Gallatin
    No problem!
[06:12] Aichi
    For now, all we can do is attack!
[06:15] Tetsu
    Guard! Vroukalakas!
[06:19] Tetsu
    Skill activates! Soul charge!
[06:22] Aichi
    Now I'll go!
[06:30] Kamui
    That makes 5 damage!
[06:31] Kyou
    But Tetsu has...
[06:33] Blaster
    I'll finish you off!
[06:35] Tetsu
    Protect activates!
[06:45] Tetsu
    I haven't told you my request yet.
[06:47] Aichi
    Request?
[06:49] Tetsu
    If you win, we'll stop fighting with VF Gloves.
[06:53] Tetsu
    But if I win,
[06:56] Tetsu
    I want you to tell me
    what Vanguard means to you.
[07:01] Tetsu
    Is that a problem?
[07:03] Aichi
    No.
[07:04] Aichi
    I accept.
[07:07] Aichi
    What Vanguard means to me...
[07:11] Asteroid A
    Who the heck are you guys?
[07:14] Miwa
    Nobody whose names you deserve to hear.
[07:16] Asteroid A
    What?!
[07:17] Kai
    I'm here to see Ren. Take me to him.
[07:21] Asteroid D
    To see Ren?
[07:22] Asteroid B
    You guys know our rule, don't ya?
[07:25] Kai
    Winners get all.
[07:27] Miwa
    Losers get lost!
[07:28] Kai
    We just have to beat all of you, right?!
[07:32] Miwa
    Count me in!
[07:34] Tetsu
    Prisoner Beast!
[07:36] Tetsu
    Blood Sacrifice, Ruthven!
[07:39] Tetsu
    Skill activates! Soul charge!
[07:47] Blaster
    He's accumulating power.
[07:49] Aichi
    I know, but...
[07:52] Tetsu
    This is where your countdown to defeat begins.
[08:02] Aichi
    Gallatin!
[08:06] Elaine
    Look out!
[08:06] Wingal
    My Vanguard!
[08:08] Aichi
    Elaine! Wingal!
[08:13] Tetsu
    All conditions have now been met.
[08:16] Tetsu
    There are 13 cards in the Soul.
[08:19] Tetsu
    I place one card from my hand,
    along with three rear-guards, into the Soul.
[08:26] Tetsu
    Skill activates!
[08:29] Tetsu
    Once again, I summon the king of the undead!
[08:36] Tetsu
    I ride!
[08:39] Tetsu
    No Life King, Death Anchor!
[08:43] Kamui
    He's riding No Life King, Death Anchor again?!
[08:46] Kyou
    It's really powerful!
[08:48] Kyou
    With 18 cards in the Soul,
    as well as triggers...
[08:52] Kyou
    That's a total of...
[08:54] Kamui
    How much?!
[08:55] Kyou
    A huge amount!
[08:57] Aichi
    So this is what I was warned about.
[09:01] Tetsu
    Death Anchor will now bring about your doom.
[09:04] Tetsu
    Breakdown Death Breath!
[09:14] Kamui
    Brother Aichi!
[09:20] Tetsu
    Aichi Sendou.
[09:22] Tetsu
    Your PSYqualia falls far short of Ren's.
[09:27] Aichi
    Ren...
[09:37] Voice A
    I'm next!
[09:38] Voice B
    You punk!
[09:39] Asaka
    It's so noisy.
[09:41] Asaka
    What's going on out there?
[09:43] Asaka
    You go look.
[09:45] Kawanami
    Woof, Asaka!
[09:49] Kai
    Here's where I finish you off!
[09:51] Miwa
    Bring it on!
[09:53] Kawanami
    Those guys are...
[09:57] Kawanami
    Oh my gosh!
[09:59] Kawanami
    Asaka!
[10:00] Asaka
    What's wrong?
[10:02] Kawanami
    It's him...
[10:03] Kawanami
    Toshiki Kai is here!
[10:06] Asaka
    What did you say?!
[10:08] Asaka
    And it's while Ren's away...
[10:11] Asaka
    Just where is he?!
[10:18] Ren
    Huh?
[10:21] Ren
    Did I maybe take a wrong turn someplace?
[10:37] Kamui
    Brother Aichi! Brother Aichi!
[10:42] Kamui
    Thank goodness, you've come to!
[10:45] Kyou
    After that big fainting scene...
[10:47] Kyou
    Don't scare us like that!
[10:49] Aichi
    Kamui...
[10:51] Aichi
    Kyou...
[10:55] Aichi
    I see. I lost, didn't I.
[11:01] Tetsu
    Do you remember my request?
[11:05] Tetsu
    What does Vanguard mean to you?
[11:10] Tetsu
    What's your reason for fighting?
[11:12] Tetsu
    Why do you want to win?
[11:16] Aichi
    To me, Vanguard is all about "relationships."
[11:22] Aichi
    With Kamui...
[11:25] Aichi
    With Morikawa, and Miwa...
[11:27] Aichi
    With Misaki, and Shin...
[11:30] Aichi
    With everyone at Voyage...
[11:33] Aichi
    Even with the members of
    Team Asteroid I met yesterday and today.
[11:40] Aichi
    But most of all...
[11:43] Aichi
    ...with Kai.
[11:45] Aichi
    It's what let me become friends with Kai.
[11:48] Tetsu
    Did you say, "Kai"?!
[11:51] Aichi
    Before Vanguard...
[11:54] Aichi
    ...I never thought I was worth anything.
[12:00] Aichi
    But now...
[12:02] Aichi
    ...during my Vanguard fights,
    I can feel confident in myself.
[12:06] Aichi
    I'm able to think that my life has some value.
[12:14] Aichi
    That's why...
[12:17] Tetsu
    You have a lot in common with Ren.
[12:21] Tetsu
    And with Kai, too.
[12:22] Aichi
    Huh?
[12:24] Tetsu
    You expressed yourself admirably.
[12:26] Tetsu
    You have my gratitude, Aichi Sendou.
[12:29] Kyou
    Hey, Tetsu!
[12:33] Kyou
    Hey, wait!
[12:35] Kyou
    You're just gonna leave?!
[12:37] Kyou
    But he has PSYqualia!
[12:40] Kyou
    Doesn't that make him
    an important research subject?!
[12:43] Tetsu
    Of course he's important.
[12:45] Tetsu
    But Sendou hasn't yet perfected his PSYqualia.
[12:49] Tetsu
    Now is the time to wait for it to develop.
[12:52] Kyou
    And that's all?!
[12:54] Tetsu
    As long as he continues to play Vanguard,
[12:57] Tetsu
    we won't lose sight of him.
[13:00] Tetsu
    One thing I can tell you...
[13:02] Tetsu
    You won't be able to gain PSYqualia
    just from observing Sendou fight.
[13:14] Ren
    This isn't the place, is it?
[13:18] Kamui
    Hang in there, Brother Aichi.
[13:22] Ren
    Are you okay, boy?
[13:26] Aichi
    S-Sorry.
[13:29] Ren
    It's all right. Go on, grab my arm.
[13:32] Aichi
    Th-Thank you.
[13:40] Aichi
    S-Sorry about that.
[13:42] Ren
    No, it's fine.
[13:44] Ren
    Oh, right.
[13:46] Ren
    Is there another card shop around here?
[13:49] Aichi
    What's the name of the shop?
[13:50] Ren
    Unfortunately, I forgot the name already...
[13:54] Ren
    I've been there once before,
    so I'd probably recognize it again...
[13:59] Kamui
    Then why not come with us?
[14:01] Kamui
    We're heading to a shop called Card Capital.
[14:05] Ren
    Now that sounds like a great plan!
[14:17] Tetsu
    Up until now, I'd thought PSYqualia
    might be obtainable via an external stimulus.
[14:25] Tetsu
    That's the reason why...
[14:29] Kyou
    Why you invented the VF Gloves?
[14:32] Tetsu
    However, after hearing
    what Sendou said back there,
[14:36] Tetsu
    I now believe that the key is
    more likely to be an internal factor.
[14:42] Kyou
    What do you mean?
[14:44] Tetsu
    Put simply,
[14:46] Tetsu
    when somethings happens
    to break through a person's shell,
[14:50] Tetsu
    that stimulus may cause them to become
    receptive to sensations from a different realm.
[14:57] Tetsu
    That's what I mean.
[14:59] Kyou
    That wasn't simple at all!
[15:03] Tetsu
    Essentially, no matter how long
    you may pursue Ren or Sendou,
[15:08] Tetsu
    you can never reach PSYqualia.
[15:14] Tetsu
    Even so...
[15:16] Tetsu
    Both Ren Suzugamori and Aichi Sendou...
[15:18] Tetsu
    Is it mere coincidence that Toshiki Kai
    is connected to their "awakenings"? Or is it...
[15:27] Tetsu
    It's me.
[15:30] Tetsu
    What?! Kai?!
[15:42] Asteroid C
    He's too strong...
[15:44] Asteroid B
    He's a monster.
[15:45] Asteroid D
    There's no way I can beat him...
[15:50] Kai
    Who's next?
[15:56] Kamui
    We're here, Brother Aichi.
[15:59] Ren
    Oh, right.
[16:01] Ren
    I'm pretty sure this was the shop.
[16:05] Ren
    Misa-Q!
[16:07] Misaki
    You!
[16:08] Misaki
    Get away from him!
[16:09] Kamui
    Wh-What're ya doing, Misaki?!
[16:13] Aichi
    He helped me to get here.
[16:16] Ren
    That's right, Misa-Q.
[16:18] Misaki
    Don't give me some creepy nickname!
[16:21] Misaki
    Listen, Aichi! This guy...
[16:23] Misaki
    ...is Ren Suzugamori!
[16:25] Misaki
    He's the boss of Team Asteroid!
[16:28] Kamui
    Say what?!
[16:29] Kamui
    A scatterbrain like him
    is the boss of Team Asteroid?!
[16:33] Aichi
    Then the "Ren" that
     Kyou and Tetsu mentioned...
[16:37] Ren
    Yeah, I'd say they were referring to me.
[16:41] Misaki
    What did you come here for?!
[16:43] Misaki
    Kai isn't here today.
[16:45] Ren
    He's not?
[16:47] Ren
    That's a bummer.
[16:51] Aichi
    Ren...
[16:52] Aichi
    You know Kai?
[16:55] Ren
    Of course. I know him well.
[16:58] Ren
    I aspire to be like Kai,
[17:01] Ren
    and we used to be friends
    united by our devotion to Vanguard.
[17:06] Aichi
    Friends?
[17:09] Ren
    Back then...
[17:12] Ren
    ...he was known as the "Solitary Fighter."
[17:17] Ren
    Waves of confident fighters
    would come to challenge Kai,
[17:25] Ren
    but not a single one was a match for him.
[17:29] Ren
    That included me.
[17:32] Ren
    To me, Toshiki Kai was
    the epitome of "strength."
[17:38] Ren
    But he was too strong.
[17:41] Ren
    Everyone grew sick of
    Kai's overwhelming strength.
[17:44] Ren
    Until eventually...
[17:48] Ren
    ...there was nobody left
    who'd challenge him to a serious fight.
[17:56] Ren
    I came here to rescue Kai.
[17:59] Ren
    To give him the serious fight
    that he's always wanted...
[18:02] Ren
    ...I acquired a "power" that surpasses his.
[18:11] Kai
    What's wrong?
[18:12] Kai
    Are we done already?
[18:15] Miwa
    Kai, you're...
[18:17] Asaka
    Me.
[18:19] Asaka
    I'll fight you, Toshiki Kai.
[18:21] Miwa
    Hey, that Asaka girl!
[18:24] Kai
    Who?
[18:25] Miwa
    She's the one who beat me yesterday!
[18:28] Asaka
    I'm Asaka Narumi of Team Asteroid's AL4.
[18:33] Asaka
    Allow me to guide you to our special room.
[18:48] Tetsu
    So his fight with Asaka is about to begin...
[18:51] Kyou
    That's Toshiki Kai,
    the guy Ren was looking for!
[18:55] Asaka
    You're not worthy of saying Ren's name!
[18:57] Asaka
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[18:57] Kai
    Stand up, The Vanguard!
[19:02] Aichi
    Sorry for having you walk me
    to the station too, Misaki.
[19:06] Misaki
    I was going to go shopping near there, anyway.
[19:08] Ren
    You're so kind, Misa-Q.
[19:10] Misaki
    Shut up!
[19:12] Ren
    Still, it's unfortunate.
[19:15] Ren
    That I didn't get to see Kai...
[19:17] Kamui
    Kai's no big whoop!
[19:20] Kamui
    Why, Brother Aichi here has beat 'im before.
[19:23] Aichi
    K-Kamui!
[19:27] Ren
    Is that true?
[19:28] Aichi
    Y-Yes...
[19:30] Aichi
    But just once.
[19:34] Ren
    I'm now extremely
    interested in you, Aichi Sendou.
[19:41] Kawanami
    I'm positive.
[19:42] Kawanami
    Ren's scent is this way!
[19:48] Ren
    Huh?
[19:49] Kawanami
    Woof!
[19:50] Kawanami
    I have a message!
[19:51] Kawanami
    Master Ren, please return right away!
[19:53] Kawanami
    Toshiki Kai has shown up at headquarters!
[20:01] Ren
    Shall we go there, Aichi?
[20:05] Aichi
    Huh?
[20:10] Kai
    I just can't get into the game
    with opponents like that.
[20:14] Miwa
    You never do go easy on anyone.
[20:20] Asaka
    To think Toshiki Kai was this strong...
[20:25] Kyou
    What is this guy?!
[20:32] Asaka
    I lost... again...
[20:36] Asaka
    Now I'll never be able to stay by Ren's side...
[20:42] Tetsu
    You need greater diligence.
[20:49] Tetsu
    I never expected to see you here.
[20:52] Tetsu
    What do you want?
[20:53] Kai
    I'm annoyed about all the members of
    Team Asteroid hanging around my neighborhood.
[20:59] Tetsu
    Honestly. You're something else.
[21:02] Tetsu
    By the way, I ran into an interesting fighter today.
[21:06] Kai
    It's rare to hear you
    call anyone "interesting."
[21:10] Tetsu
    He's still inexperienced, though.
[21:12] Tetsu
    His name is Aichi Sendou.
[21:16] Kai
    What?!
[21:17] Ren
    My, what's this?
[21:19] Ren
    I never thought you'd be the one to come to me.
[21:27] Ren
    Long time no see, Kai.
[23:10] Miwa
    Kai and Ren finally meet again!
[23:12] Miwa
    All of Team Q4 and AL4 are present, too!
[23:14] Miwa
    But who's gonna fight whom?!
[23:16] Miwa
    The favorite is Kai vs. Ren!
    Current odds are 1.3!
[23:19] Miwa
    The rival is Ren vs. Aichi,
    with current odds 2.0!
[23:22] Miwa
    And we can't discount the prospect
    of a Q4 versus AL4 team battle!
[23:25] Miwa
    The dark horse is that
    we have a big BBQ party instead!
[23:28] Miwa
    It seems totally unlikely,
    which makes it all the more possible!
[23:31] Miwa
    Or will Kawanami's powers awaken
    and beat everybody?
[23:34] Miwa
    All right, place your bets!
