**[00:01] Kourin**
You'll pay. You'll pay...
**[00:04] Kourin**
You'll pay for this!
**[00:06] Kourin**
You're a disgrace to the name of SK4!
**[00:09] Kourin**
Apologize to Aichi with your life!
**[00:15] Miwa**
Sorry, Kourin!
**[00:16] Miwa**
These guys are more important to me.
**[00:18] Kai**
Miwa...
**[00:20] Ibuki**
I'll Delete both of you!
**[00:22] Miwa**
Asura Kaiser!
**[00:28] Ibuki**
Back off!
**[00:29] Miwa**
You say "back off," but I'm not
stupid enough to actually do that!
**[00:33] Ibuki**
So, you've seen through my ability?
**[00:37] Miwa**
I'm counting on you girls!
**[00:39] Shuka**
Here I go, Emi!
**[00:41] Emi**
Realize!
**[00:46] Miwa**
Let's meet again, Ibuki!
**[00:48] Miwa**
At the place it all began for us!
**[00:50] Ibuki**
The place it all began?
**[00:56] Kourin**
They got away.
**[00:58] Ibuki**
Don't worry. I'll Delete all of them.

The Place of Beginnings
**[02:45] Suiko**
If we made it this far, we should be safe.
**[02:47] Shuka**
My heart is still pounding!
**[02:50] Emi**
Just what was that "Deletor"?
**[02:53] Emi**
Why would Ibuki be like that?
**[02:57] Miwa**
I'll tell you.
**[02:59] Kai**
Miwa?
**[03:01] Miwa**
Deletors can delete a unit from the board.
**[03:04] Miwa**
Any person who gets Deleted
has their bond with Vanguard severed
**[03:08] Miwa**
and can no longer imagine having one.
**[03:11] Shuka**
I don't believe you!
Bukki would never use units like that!
**[03:15] Suiko**
He has used them before.
**[03:18] Suiko**
He despised Vanguard.
**[03:21] Suiko**
He even said that Deleting people
"freed" them from the chains of battle.
**[03:26] Suiko**
To be honest, I really didn't like
being reminded of how he was back then...
**[03:39] Kai**
The image that I saw...
**[03:41] Kai**
Then that was real, too?
**[03:44] Kai**
I can't believe it.
**[03:46] Kai**
Ibuki taught us how to play Vanguard.
He was our vanguard!
**[03:51] Kai**
So why would he...?
**[03:52] Miwa**
Don't get the wrong idea, Kai.
**[03:55] Miwa**
The image you saw wasn't your memory.
**[03:59] Miwa**
It was an echo of Ibuki's PSYqualia.
**[04:03] Kai**
What are you talking about, Miwa?
**[04:06] Miwa**
Despite living here all this time,
I've always sensed that something was off.
**[04:12] Miwa (N)**
I couldn't put my finger on why.
**[04:14] Miwa (N)**
It felt like a pebble in a well-fitted shoe.
**[04:20] Miwa (N)**
But then, one day...
**[04:22] Miwa (N)**
...I spotted you by chance.
**[04:25] Miwa (N)**
You seemed a bit different from the Kai I knew.
**[04:32] Miwa (N)**
But that's when I had the thought:
**[04:35] Miwa (N)**
If you were doing well, I was fine with it.
**[04:39] Miwa (N)**
Thing is, though, the moment I tried to
ignore it, the truth of this world got revealed.
**[04:49] Morikawa**
Ow!
**[04:50] Morikawa**
I've still got another scene...
**[04:52] Miwa**
Wh-What the...?
**[04:54] Miwa**
Morikawa? What the heck happened?
**[04:57] Morikawa**
I remember fighting magical girls, and then...
**[05:01] Miwa**
Magical girls? You must've been daydreaming.
**[05:04] Morikawa**
You're probably right.
**[05:09] Miwa**
H-Hey!
**[05:12] Miwa**
Wait!
**[05:16] Miwa**
Kourin?
**[05:17] Kourin**
My name is Yellow Typhoon.
**[05:20] Kourin**
I protect Sanctuary.
**[05:23] Miwa**
First him, now you.
What the heck is going on?
**[05:26] Kourin**
You've noticed them too, haven't you?
**[05:29] Kourin**
The distortions in the world...
**[05:31] Miwa**
Distortions?
**[05:33] Kourin**
Someone is threatening Toshiki Kai's happiness.
**[05:38] Miwa**
Toshiki Kai...
**[05:39] Miwa**
You know Kai?
**[05:45] Miwa**
Long story short, I became one of them,
but there was something that didn't make sense.
**[05:53] Miwa**
I'm talking about Ibuki.
**[05:55] Miwa**
The Blaster Pair are Sanctuary's enemy
because they threatened Kai's happiness.
**[06:00] Miwa**
But Ibuki, our old friend,
was on the magical girls' side.
**[06:07] Miwa**
Why?
**[06:08] Suiko**
Well, that's...
**[06:09] Shuka**
Of course he was!
The distortions are from your side.
**[06:13] Emi**
Ibuki was trying to turn
Kai and Aichi back to normal.
**[06:18] Miwa**
That's what he said.
**[06:21] Kai**
He?
**[06:22] Miwa**
You met him before, right?
**[06:25] Miwa**
Takuto Tatsunagi.
**[06:27] Suiko**
You met Takuto?
**[06:30] Miwa**
Yeah.
**[06:31] Miwa**
He and I talked after I clashed with you guys,
though the stuff he said flew way over my head.
**[06:39] Takuto**
In the multiverse
created by a quantum universe,
**[06:42] Takuto**
even your current self
is no more than a single possibility.
**[06:45] Takuto**
What is the truth? No more than
an observer's personal--
**[06:48] Miwa**
Sorry, but...
**[06:50] Miwa**
Could you make that a bit easier to follow?
**[06:56] Takuto**
If you look from above, the lid looks bulging,
but if you look from below, it looks dented.
**[07:03] Takuto**
The reason you sense something off
about the current Toshiki Kai
**[07:07] Takuto**
is because your consciousness
is connected to the other you,
**[07:11] Takuto**
the one who knows
the bulging-top-side Toshiki Kai.
**[07:15] Miwa**
I really don't get it.
**[07:17] Miwa**
But let me ask you something.
**[07:21] Miwa**
You know where Ibuki is right now, don't you?
**[07:27] Takuto**
Right now, he's inside a past mistake.
**[07:31] Miwa**
Mistake?
**[07:33] Takuto**
Back when he caused mayhem
by using the power of Deletors.
**[07:40] Takuto**
I suspect Kourin is attempting
to construct a world line
**[07:44] Takuto**
in which Kouji Ibuki
never received Neon Messiah.
**[07:48] Takuto**
Back then, he was a lot like
how Aichi Sendou is now.
**[07:53] Takuto**
Perhaps those two would get along rather well.
**[07:58] Emi**
Aichi and Ibuki...
**[08:02] Aichi**
This is reassuring.
**[08:04] Aichi**
I never imagined you would become
a Sanctuary Knight, Ibuki.
**[08:09] Ibuki**
Just so we're clear, I never agreed
to become your lackey.
**[08:14] Ibuki**
I joined because we have a common objective.
**[08:17] Ibuki**
That's all.
**[08:18] Aichi**
Yes, I know.
**[08:21] Aichi**
I think we'll get along famously.
**[08:25] Ibuki**
Oh, yeah?
**[08:27] Kourin (M)**
That's right. You two are birds of a feather.
**[08:30] Kourin (M)**
You both despise Vanguard and wish to erase it.
**[08:34] Ibuki**
Thanks for lunch.
**[08:36] Aichi**
Finished already?
**[08:38] Ibuki**
I'm keeping people waiting.
**[08:40] Aichi**
Kourin. Take him there.
**[08:43] Kourin**
Certainly.
**[08:43] Ibuki**
No need.
**[08:45] Ibuki**
I can get there by myself.
**[08:47] Ibuki**
It's like my backyard.
**[08:51] Ibuki (M)**
The place where it all began
for Kai, Miwa, and me...
**[08:57] Kai**
Oh, you've gotta be kidding me.
**[08:59] Suiko**
What are you talking about?
**[09:00] Miwa**
You see, we'd made a bet about
what kind of animal was at this park.
**[09:06] Kai**
Ibuki said it was a hippo,
while Miwa and I went with pig.
**[09:11] Kai**
To think it'd be a panda...
**[09:13] Suiko**
I'll ask once more:
What are you talking about?
**[09:16] Miwa**
Oh, sorry.
**[09:18] Miwa**
This is where it all began for us.
**[09:21] Shuka**
Where what all began?
**[09:23] Miwa**
This park is where
Ibuki taught us how to play Vanguard.
**[09:29] Kai**
After that, we played here almost every day.
**[09:32] Miwa**
We sure did.
We'd play all day, till the sun set.
**[09:36] Emi**
So this is an important place for you three.
**[09:38] Kai**
If we wait here, I'm sure Ibuki will come.
**[09:42] Suiko**
That's all well and good,
but he has Deletor powers.
**[09:45] Suiko**
Do you have a chance of beating him?
**[09:47] Miwa**
We do! Or we probably do.
**[09:49] Miwa**
Right?
**[09:50] Shuka**
I'm not sure...
**[09:52] Miwa**
If it doesn't work out, we can
always think of something else.
**[09:55] Ibuki**
Think of what?
**[10:05] Ibuki**
With your lightweight brains,
deep thoughts are too much of a load.
**[10:11] Miwa**
Aren't you the confident public speaker now.
**[10:14] Miwa**
Still the same Ibuki who threw up
on the bus and cried during our field trip?
**[10:19] Ibuki**
Shut up, Miwa.
**[10:21] Ibuki**
I'm going to "Delete End"
all of those memories of yours.
**[10:25] Kai**
Please reconsider this, Ibuki.
**[10:26] Kai**
We're old friends, remember?!
**[10:28] Kai**
Why can't we laugh together like we used to?
**[10:31] Suiko**
He's right. Kourin altered your past!
**[10:34] Ibuki**
You stay out of this!
**[10:37] Shuka**
Don't talk to her like that!
**[10:39] Emi**
Haven't we been friends
making this journey together?!
**[10:43] Miwa**
His past has been overwritten.
**[10:45] Miwa**
He doesn't remember
any of his experiences with you.
**[10:48] Shuka**
What should we do, Emi?
**[10:50] Emi**
Something I'd rather not do,
but we have no choice!
**[10:54] Emi**
Now's the time to take initiative! Make a stand!
**[10:57] Shuka**
Who cares who's the strongest?
Just keep at it till it's over!
**[11:02] The Two**
Try to win with your own power!
**[11:08] Ibuki**
I warned you!
**[11:15] Shuka**
Elemental Calling!
**[11:22] Emi**
Realize!
**[11:26] Cat Butler**
Always at your call, m'lady.
**[11:29] Ibuki**
Those who interfere will get no mercy,
not even if they're women or children.
**[11:48] Ibuki**
Go!
**[11:53] Emi**
Shuka!
**[11:54] Shuka**
I-It's okay!
**[11:56] Ibuki**
Okay how?
**[11:57] Ibuki**
Bind!
**[12:02] Shuka**
Cat Butler!
**[12:03] Emi**
Please, Aermo!
**[12:09] Ibuki**
Vanish Delete!
**[12:14] Shuka**
Aermo!
**[12:15] Suiko**
This is another Deletor power!
**[12:18] Kai**
Shuka! Emi!
**[12:19] Miwa**
Lend us your power!
**[12:21] Shuka**
Roger that!
**[12:28] Emi**
Superior Realize!
**[12:44] Ibuki**
Don't underestimate me.
**[12:58] Ibuki**
Go, Docking Deletor, Greion!
**[13:05] Ibuki**
Eat this, Miwa!
**[13:10] Miwa**
You're our vanguard,
the one who taught us how to play!
**[13:14] Miwa**
But that doesn't mean
we're never gonna surpass you!
**[13:28] Ibuki**
Greion!
**[13:30] The Two**
Yes!
**[13:31] Miwa**
Ibuki!
**[13:33] Suiko**
If you win this fight,
we may be able to get him back!
**[13:38] Kourin**
How naive!
**[13:44] Miwa**
Hey, you're...
**[13:46] Kourin**
You cowards.
**[13:48] Kourin**
Why don't you fight fair and square?
**[13:51] Suiko**
Kourin!
**[13:53] Kourin**
Go, my servants!
**[14:01] Ibuki**
Stay out of this!
**[14:03] Kourin**
What? I'm only helping you because
it seemed they had you on the ropes.
**[14:07] Suiko**
Shuka, lend me power, too!
**[14:13] Suiko**
Kourin!
**[14:18] Suiko**
Back off, Kourin!
**[14:20] Suiko**
You have no business being here!
**[14:23] Kourin**
You talk like you have the right
to treat Ibuki however you want!
**[14:28] Suiko**
What would you know?!
**[14:31] Suiko**
He was wracked with guilt over the Deletors.
**[14:35] Suiko**
But even while suffering all this time,
he's still been trying to atone for his sins!
**[14:41] Suiko**
If you'd trample on his feelings,
all his efforts, then I'll--
**[14:45] Kourin**
I don't care about any of that!
**[14:50] Kourin**
Kouji Ibuki has just one wish.
**[14:54] Ibuki**
Come to me, my avatar!
**[14:57] Kourin**
To eradicate Vanguard!
**[14:59] Kourin**
And that's Aichi's wish, too!
**[15:04] Ibuki**
Waving Deletor, Greidhol!
**[15:08] Shuka**
That's Bukki's Vanguard!
**[15:11] Emi**
It looks really ominous!
**[15:14] Ibuki**
Docking Release!
**[15:24] Suiko**
Kai!
**[15:25] Ibuki**
Every sound you make, from your heart,
your pulse, your performance...
**[15:31] Ibuki**
...will all be erased...
**[15:33] Ibuki**
...by my Greidhol!
**[15:37] Kai**
I finally figured it out.
**[15:39] Ibuki**
What?
**[15:40] Kai**
Why something felt off.
**[15:43] Kai**
If you claim to despise Vanguard and want
to erase it, then why do you use Vanguard?
**[15:49] Kai**
No matter how much
you talk about resentment,
**[15:52] Kai**
even now, you still like Vanguard!
**[15:55] Emi**
That's right!
**[15:56] Shuka**
E-Emi?
**[15:58] Emi**
Remember how Ibuki kept challenging people
to fights, even when he knew they'd refuse?
**[16:05] Emi**
Ibuki, you love Vanguard!
**[16:08] Ibuki**
Keep quiet!
**[16:10] Emi**
I won't be quiet!
**[16:11] Emi**
After all, we've been making
this journey together as friends!
**[16:17] Ibuki**
Friends...
**[16:19] Kourin (M)**
No! His memories are returning!
**[16:21] Kourin**
Blond Ezel!
**[16:23] Kourin**
Dispose of them, starting with those girls!
**[16:26] Suiko**
Oh no, you don't!
**[16:28] Kourin**
Suiko!
**[16:29] Suiko**
Remember, Ibuki!
**[16:31] Suiko**
Remember our travels!
**[16:37] Kai**
Remember how the three of us
used to play back then!
**[16:41] Young Kai**
Ibuki, let's play Vanguard together!
**[16:50] Ibuki**
You're annoying me!
**[16:51] Ibuki**
Greidhol!
**[16:52] Ibuki**
Delete End!
**[16:59] Miwa**
Kai!
**[17:04] Kai**
Miwa!
**[17:12] Miwa**
Don't worry about me.
**[17:13] Miwa**
All I wanted was to protect your smile.
**[17:17] Kai**
But that's no reason to...
**[17:20] Miwa**
Like Shingo and Naoki, I'm just gonna
return to my original world line.
**[17:26] Miwa**
Right?
**[17:28] Miwa**
Ibuki, I have a message for you
from the Concert Master:
**[17:33] Miwa**
"There's no creation without destruction."
**[17:36] Miwa**
Even your Deletor's ability serves a purpose.
**[17:41] Miwa**
Y'see, Ibuki?
**[17:43] Kai**
Miwa!
**[17:46] Kai**
Haven't you had enough, Ibuki?!
**[17:48] Kai**
There's no more reason for us to fight!
**[17:53] Kourin**
But there is.
**[17:55] Kourin**
We share the same goal as Aichi,
**[17:59] Kourin**
to erase everything having to do with Vanguard!
**[18:02] Emi**
Why can't you understand?!
**[18:04] Emi**
Aichi doesn't actually want anyone to fight!
**[18:10] Shuka**
What's this?
**[18:12] Miwa**
A special card I borrowed from Takuto.
**[18:16] Miwa**
I bet it'll come in handy somehow.
**[18:18] Miwa**
You hold onto it.
**[18:22] Shuka**
Emi! Use this!
**[18:29] Emi**
Superior Realize!
**[18:37] Kai**
Destiny has reached the crossroads!
**[18:41] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord "The X"!
**[18:45] Kourin**
Dragonic Overlord...
**[18:47] Suiko**
..."The X"?!
**[18:55] Kai**
A ray of light reaching out
through the despair of oblivion!
**[18:59] Kai**
The bond known as courage
that connects us in the darkness!
**[19:04] Ibuki**
What?!
**[19:06] Kourin**
I-It can't be!
**[19:08] Kourin**
Two Overlords, side by side?!
**[19:22] Kai**
With these flames,
I reduce your past mistakes to ashes!
**[19:27] Kai**
Our paths have crossed once more!
**[19:34] Ibuki (M)**
It's burning away,
the hatred and rage inside me...
**[19:39] Ibuki (M)**
Are these the ultimate flames?
**[19:51] Young Kai**
Ibuki, let's play Vanguard together!
**[20:01] Ibuki**
People can start over again.
And so can we, as a trio once more...
**[20:18] Suiko**
Ibuki!
**[20:19] Kai**
Are you all right? Try getting up.
**[20:22] Ibuki**
What am I doing here?
**[20:26] Suiko**
Thank goodness.
**[20:27] Suiko**
Oh, thank--
**[20:29] Shuka**
Bukki!
**[20:30] Emi**
You really are back!
**[20:32] Shuka**
Don't scare us like that!
**[20:33] Ibuki**
I'm back? What are you talking about?
**[20:36] Kai**
You okay?
**[20:38] Suiko**
Yes.
**[20:39] Suiko**
Let's head back,
**[20:41] Suiko**
to our own world.
**[20:46] Morikawa**
Hey, Miwa!
***SIGN*** Vanguard Koshien
**[20:48] Miwa**
Huh? Morikawa?
**[20:50] Morikawa**
How long were you gonna nap?
**[20:52] Morikawa**
We've got a strategy session to begin.
**[20:55] Miwa**
A strategy session? For what?
***SIGN*** Aim for victory! Vanguard Koshien Strategy Session
**[20:58] Morikawa**
For the Vanguard Koshien, duh!
***SIGN*** Milk
**[21:01] Miwa**
Oh right... guess I spaced on that.
**[21:04] Inenaga**
But Kai's not here.
**[21:06] Morikawa**
That jerk...!
**[21:08] Morikawa**
He must've slipped away again!
**[21:10] Morikawa**
Just where did he go?!
**[21:17] Miwa**
Don't worry.
**[21:20] Miwa**
Knowing him, he'll be back soon.
**[22:58] Kourin**
You'll pay. You'll pay.
**[23:01] Kourin**
I swear you'll pay for this.
**[23:04] Kourin**
You'll suffer for all eternity
in the space-time continuum, Suiko.
**[23:13] Emi**
We're back!
**[23:16] Shuka**
Now that we're safe, I'm starving!
**[23:18] Kai**
I'll whip something up.
**[23:20] Kai**
Ibuki, you help too.
**[23:23] Ibuki**
Ask Suiko that, not me.
**[23:26] Kai**
Where is Suiko?
**[23:29] Emi**
She's not here?
**[23:30] Ibuki**
I know she came with us!
**[23:40] Shuka**
No way...
**[23:45] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is
Kagero's Dragonic Overlord "The X"!
***SIGN*** Dragonic Overlord "The X"
**[23:53] Narrator**
If you put an "Overlord" unit
from your deck into the Soul,
**[23:55] Narrator**
this unit will get all of that unit's skills!
**[23:58] Narrator**
If you get Dragonic Overlord the End's skills,
**[24:01] Narrator**
you can combine them with "The X's" own skills
**[24:03] Narrator**
that make your hand count as zero cards
and prevent its drive from being zero or less,
**[24:07] Narrator**
letting you do three mega-powerful
Vanguard attacks in a row!
**[24:10] Narrator**

Once I was an ordinary high school student,
attending Fukuhara High...

the same public parks...
