[00:01] Aichi
    I'm going to cleave through
    the darkness that binds you!
[00:13] Ren
    Aichi Sendou...
[00:16] Ren
    ...is dazzling.
[00:31] Asaka
    Ren!
[00:32] Tetsu
    Ren!
[00:36] Miwa
    You did it, Aichi!
[00:37] Aichi
    M-Miwa...?
[00:39] Aichi
    Wh-Where am I?
[00:41] Misaki
    You won!
[00:42] Kamui
    I knew ya could do it, Brother Aichi!
[00:48] Miwa
    Whoa!
[00:48] Misaki
    Aichi!
[00:52] Aichi
    I won?
[00:54] Ren
    You're strong, Aichi Sendou.
[00:59] Ren
    After obtaining PSYqualia...
[01:02] Ren
    ...I began to win fights.
[01:07] Ren
    I was finally winning...
[01:10] Ren
    ...but as a result, my fights
    were no longer serious or exciting.
[01:20] Aichi
    Ren...
[01:21] Ren
    But with you as my opponent, I could...
[01:26] Aichi
    Or with Kai, right?
[01:30] Ren
    Good point.
[01:32] Ren
    With you and Kai as opponents, then maybe...
[01:35] Tetsu
    Maybe?
[01:37] Ren
    I may get to have serious fights again.
[01:41] Aichi
    Sure! I'll fight you anytime you like.
[01:47] Miwa
    Whoa there!
[01:48] Miwa
    What if he takes you at your word
    and starts hanging out at Card Capital?!
[01:52] Misaki
    I don't want my shop becoming
     a Team Asteroid clubhouse!
[01:57] Kamui
    Don't worry!
[01:58] Kamui
    If that happens,
    then Brother Aichi will throw 'im out!
[02:01] Asaka
    Excuse me?!
[02:02] Asaka
    I won't let that remark go!
[02:04] Asaka
    You make it sound like Ren's a bad guy!
[02:06] Asaka
    Would you take that back?
[02:08] Kamui
    Well, he is a bad guy!
[02:10] Miwa
    That's right!
[02:11] Aichi
    Okay, okay!
[02:12] Asaka
    Ren is a one-of-a-kind person!
[02:15] Ren
    Aichi...
[02:15] Asaka
    He always strives for the top in everything!
[02:17] Ren
    Though I've only known you for a few hours...
[02:18] Asaka
    Plus he's sweet,
[02:19] Asaka
    and while he may not be perfect,
[02:20] Ren
    ...I feel like we're very close.
[02:21] Asaka
    he--wait, are you even listening?!
[02:29] Aichi
    Kai!
[02:36] Kai
    Aichi...
[02:40] Aichi
    Vanguard.
[02:41] Aichi
    It's a card game in which you yourself
    become the vanguard and fight!
[02:46] Kai
    Imagine it!
    Imagination will become your strength!

[04:29] Mom
    Mm hm...
[04:31] Mom
    You've got a fever.
[04:34] Aichi
    I do?
[04:35] Mom
    You'd better stay in bed all day.
[04:38] Mom
    I'll bring you some porridge later.
[04:40] Aichi
    Okay.
[04:42] Emi
    Hey, is Aichi okay?
[04:45] Mom
    What do you mean?
[04:46] Emi
    He stumbled home late last night, again.
[04:50] Emi
    I worry that he's being bullied again...
[04:53] Mom
    He's fine.
[04:55] Mom
    After all...
[04:56] Mom
    ...he had a happy look in his eyes.
[05:05] Miwa
    Hey, Kai!
[05:07] Miwa
    You alive in there?!
[05:08] Miwa
    I'm coming in!
[05:12] Miwa
    Oh? So you're up and about!
[05:15] Miwa
    You didn't contact me or show up at school,
[05:17] Miwa
    so I assumed you'd be laid up in bed,
[05:19] Miwa
    like Aichi is.
[05:23] Kai
    Aichi is?
[05:24] Miwa
    I heard at Capital that
    he's in bed with a fever.
[05:27] Miwa
    Well, nothing bad enough to worry over, though.
[05:30] Kai
    I see.
[05:34] Miwa
    That a new deck?
[05:36] Miwa
    I've never seen those cards before.
[05:40] Miwa
    Don't tell me this deck is...
[05:46] Miwa
    Just can't stand losing, can you?
[05:48] Kai
    Shut up.
[05:52] Miwa
    Kai!
[05:53] Kai
    I-I'm fine!
[05:55] Miwa
    Are you eating properly?
[05:58] Kai
    Now that you mention it,
    I haven't eaten anything since yesterday.
[06:00] Miwa
    Hold on, I'll whip something up for you.
[06:06] Miwa
    I'm stuffed.
[06:09] Kai
    I'm such a jerk...
[06:12] Miwa
    You only just figured that out?
[06:14] Kai
    I was going to make Aichi give up...
[06:17] Kai
    ...his deck... and even Vanguard.
[06:21] Kai
    That power will alter you.
[06:24] Kai
    Throw away your cards,
[06:25] Kai
    and never fight again!
[06:29] Miwa
    We all knew you had Aichi's
    best interests in mind when you said that.
[06:33] Miwa
    Don't worry about it!
[06:36] Miwa
    For Aichi, as well as the others,
    you're their guide... their vanguard.
[06:46] Miwa
    You're always walking ahead of them,
[06:49] Miwa
    showing them the way.
[06:51] Miwa
    As for Aichi and Ren,
[06:52] Miwa
    if it weren't for you,
    their PSYqualio wouldn't have...
[06:56] Kai
    It's "PSYqualia."
[06:57] Miwa
    Oh, right.
[06:59] Miwa
    They never would've awakened to that power.
[07:01] Miwa
    Without a doubt, you are their vanguard!
[07:05] Kai
    I'm not so sure about that...
[07:12] Miwa
    Hey, Kai.
[07:14] Miwa
    Let's fight.
[07:18] Kai
    Sure.
[07:19] Kai
    We'll keep at it till morning.
[07:22] Miwa
    But you're not used to that deck yet.
[07:24] Miwa
    With a whole night,
    I should manage at least one win.
[07:26] Kai
    We'll see about that.
[07:28] Miwa
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[07:28] Kai
    Stand up, The Vanguard!
[07:35] Aichi
    See you later!
[07:37] Mom
    Be careful!
[07:40] Mom
    See? He's doing much better now.
[07:42] Emi
    I wasted my time worrying about him!
[07:44] Emi
    Aichi!
[07:46] Emi
    Are you stopping by Capital after school?!
[07:49] Aichi
    Yes, I was planning to!
[07:51] Emi
    Then I'll see you there!
[08:01] Morikawa
    There he is!
[08:03] Aichi
    Morikawa!
[08:04] Aichi
    Izaki! Inenaga!
[08:06] Inenaga
    Good, you look well!
[08:08] Izaki
    We heard you had a fever!
    We were worried about you, man!
[08:11] Morikawa
    But more importantly...
[08:13] Morikawa
    Did you actually
    beat the boss of Team Asteroid?!
[08:15] Morikawa
    How'd you do it?
[08:16] Morikawa
    Go on, tell me!
[08:19] Aichi
    How? Uh...
[08:20] Morikawa
    Oh, come on!
[08:21] Inenaga
    Don't give him a hard time!
[08:23] Morikawa
    I'm not giving him a hard time!
[08:24] Girl1
    Was Sendou always this cheerful?
[08:29] Girl2
    He does seem different lately...
[08:33] Miwa
    Man, what a day!
[08:35] Miwa
    It's rough attending class after an all-nighter!
[08:38] Miwa
    Especially since I didn't even beat you once...
[08:41] Kai
    You actually stayed awake for classes?
[08:45] Miwa
    Huh?!
[08:46] Miwa
    Meaning you slept through them?!
[08:48] Miwa
    Hey! Hold on! Wait!
[08:57] Misaki
    What's wrong? Aren't you coming in?
[08:59] Misaki
    Aichi's here, too.
[09:06] Kamui
    I tell you, it was awesome!
[09:08] Morikawa
    We wanna hear it directly from Aichi!
[09:11] Morikawa
    Right, Aichi?
[09:12] Shin
    I'd love to hear about it, too!
[09:15] Misaki
    YOU need to get back to work, Manager!
[09:20] Shin
    Right...
[09:28] Aichi
    Kai!
[09:29] Kai
    Aichi...
[09:32] Kai
    Have you recovered?
[09:35] Aichi
    Yeah. I'm back to normal!
[09:38] Misaki
    How about you?
[09:40] Misaki
    I thought you were home with a fever, too.
[09:42] Aichi
    You too, Kai?!
[09:44] Miwa
    Nah, he was just playing hooky.
[09:47] Aichi
    Really?
[09:48] Kai
    No comment.
[09:53] Kai
    Aichi.
[09:55] Emi
    Aichi! Are you here?
[09:57] Kamui
    M-M-M-Miss Emi!
[09:59] Misaki
    Welcome!
[10:00] Kamui
    How can I help you today?
[10:02] Miwa
    Do you work here now?
[10:04] Emi
    I was just going to walk home with Aichi.
[10:06] Kamui
    Then I'll walk you home, too!
[10:08] Kamui
    Get ready to go, Brother Aichi!
[10:10] Aichi
    Whaa?! But I just got here!
[10:13] Aichi
    I haven't even fought anyone yet!
[10:15] Kai
    Then, since it's been a while...
[10:18] Kai
    ...wanna fight me?
[10:22] Aichi
    Yeah!
SIGN    Sub Manager
[10:45] Aichi
    I-It makes me so nervous,
    with this many people watching...
[10:49] Shin
    But it's a fight between you and Kai!
[10:52] Shin
    There's no way I'd miss this!
[10:54] Inenaga
    I wonder who's going to win.
[10:55] Morikawa
    Aichi, of course!
[10:57] Morikawa
    I mean, he beat the boss of Team Asteroid.
[11:00] Izaki
    But they call Kai the "Solitary Fighter."
[11:10] Aichi
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[11:10] Kai
    Stand up, The Vanguard!
[11:14] Kai
    I ride Lizard Runner, Undeux!
[11:17] Aichi
    I ride Glyme!
[11:21] Aichi
    I'll go first.
[11:23] Aichi
    I'll draw.
[11:26] Aichi
    I ride!
[11:31] Aichi
    Knight Squire, Allen!
[11:35] Aichi
    Glyme's skill activates!
[11:37] Aichi
    I draw one card.
[11:40] Aichi
    My turn is over.
[11:42] Misaki
    The last time these two fought,
[11:44] Misak
    Aichi was a beginner,
    unsure of how to play.
[11:50] Miwa
    He sure was.
[11:59] Miwa
    But now he's a fighter everyone respects!
[12:03] Miwa
    That's impressive.
[12:05] Misaki
    That first time, Aichi the beginner won.
[12:08] Miwa
    Don't underestimate Toshiki Kai's potential.
[12:11] Kai
    I ride Embodiment of Armor, Bahr!
[12:15] Kai
    To me, Lizard Soldier, Raopia!
[12:20] Kai
    Let's go!
[12:43] Aichi
    I ride!
[12:44] Aichi
    Stand up, my avatar!
[12:48] Aichi
    Blaster Blade!
[12:50] Aichi
    Skill activates!
[12:52] Aichi
    You're leaving the field, Raopia!
[12:57] Kai
    Tch!
[12:59] Aichi
    Attend me, Wingal!
[13:03] Aichi
    Knight of Silence, Gallatin!
[13:05] Aichi
    Let's go, team!
[13:11] Kai
    Flame of Hope, Aermo!
[13:23] Emi
    Didn't Aichi receive his first card from Kai?
[13:28] Miwa
    Yeah.
[13:30] Miwa
    The Blaster Blade that Aichi uses even now,
[13:33] Miwa
    he got from Kai back in elementary school.
[13:35] Emi
    That long ago?!
[13:37] Emi
    What's their connection?!
[13:40] Miwa
    Hmm, good question...
[13:44] Miwa
    The first time they met, it was as friends,
[13:49] Miwa
    and the next time they met,
    it was as mentor and student.
[13:54] Miwa
    But now...
[13:56] Miwa
    You could call them rivals, I guess?
[13:59] Kai
    I ride!
[14:03] Kai
    Berserk Dragon!
[14:10] Aichi
    This unit is...
[14:13] Blaster
    It's dangerous, my Vanguard.
[14:19] Aichi
    This isn't a fight against Team Asteroid.
[14:23] Aichi
    I can't use PSYqualia here!
[14:26] Kai
    Aichi, I want to have a serious fight.
[14:30] Kai
    Don't assume that you'll beat me
    even if you hold back!
[14:36] Aichi
    Kai is telling me to use PSYqualia.
[14:40] Aichi
    He accepts it as my "power."
[14:45] Kai
    Here I come, Aichi!
[14:46] Kai
    Berserk Dragon's skill activates!
[14:49] Kai
    You're outta here...
[14:50] Kai
    ...Knight of Silence!
[14:55] Kai
    Also, when I retire one of your rear-guards,
[14:58] Kai
    this unit appears.
[15:00] Kai
    Awaken!
[15:01] Kai
    Cruel Dragon!
[15:07] Kai
    Aermo, you get out there, too!
[15:12] Kai
    Attack!
[15:16] Aichi
    Flash Shield, Iseult!
[15:18] Iseult
    Yes, my Vanguard!
[15:21] Shin
    A perfect guard!
[15:22] Kai
    I'm not done yet!
[15:25] Kai
    Go get him, Cruel!
[15:39] Kai
    Even if my opponent uses a
    pain-in-the-neck power like PSYqualia,
[15:44] Kai
    I'm still gonna win!
[15:47] Emi
    I'm scared!
[15:48] Kamui
    Wh-What's wrong, Miss Emi?!
[15:50] Emi
    Why is Kai so obsessed with winning?
[15:54] Kamui
    That's not an easy question to answer...
[15:58] Kai
    Come to think of it,
[16:00] Kai
    how did I get so fixated on winning, anyway?
[16:04] Kai
    When did it start?
[16:10] Young Kai
    Imagine yourself being stronger.
[16:13] Young Kai
    My imagination is how I got so strong!
[16:16] Young Miwa
    That's not much of an explanation.
[16:19] Young Kai
    You'll never win against me
    if you can't understand that.
[16:23] Young Miwa
    I just can't! But still...
[16:26] Young Miwa
    ...let's fight again tomorrow, after school!
[16:29] Young Kai
    I'll just beat you again.
[16:33] Young Miwa
    You jerk!
[16:34] Young Miwa
    I'll get you...!
[16:41] Young Kai
    I'm home.
[16:43] Young Kai
    Huh? Where's Mom?
[17:00] Young Kai
    Uncle!
[17:01] Uncle
    Toshiki!
[17:03] Uncle
    Have you seen your mom or dad?!
[17:08] Man
    There's no sign of them!
[17:10] Uncle
    Did they tell you where they were going?
[17:12] Young Kai
    No...
[17:15] Young Kai
    Did something happen to them?
[17:18] Uncle
    Your parents stole money from the company
[17:22] Uncle
    and then vanished!
[17:26] Young Kai
    Huh?
[17:27] Young Kai
    You...
[17:30] Young Kai
    You're lying!
[17:39] Aichi
    I ride!
[17:46] Aichi
    King of Knights, Alfred!
[17:52] Aichi
    Imaginary Gift! Force!
[17:59] Aichi
    High Dog Breeder, Akane!
[18:03] Akane
    Here, Pongal!
[18:07] Aichi
    Blaster Blade!
[18:19] Man
    Hiya, Toshiki!
[18:21] Man
    I'm sure we'll get along great!
[18:24] Young Kai
    Okay.
[18:34] Man
    Just listen to me...
[18:35] Young Kai
    I'm back.
[18:36] Man
    Hey, c'mon!
[18:37] Man
    Wait a sec!
[18:38] Man
    I'm in a bind myself after
    what that kid's parents did!
[18:42] Man
    Honestly, I can't even
    stand to see the name "Kai"!
[18:45] Man
    Take him off my hands!
[18:48] Young Kai
    So he lied to me...
[18:53] Aichi
    I'm going to start attacking.
[18:56] Akane
    Let's go!
[18:59] Kai
    Repel the attack, Tahr!
[19:09] Old Man
    Welcome, Toshiki.
[19:12] Old Man
    This is your home from now on.
[19:15] Old Woman
    You can stay as long as you like.
[19:19] Old Woman
    Your aunt from Kanagawa
[19:22] Old Woman
    said she'd love to
    take in a boy like you, Toshiki.
[19:26] Old Man
    That's probably better for you.
[19:28] Old Woman
    Take care.
[19:30] Old Woman
    You're welcome to come back anytime.
[19:32] Young Kai
    You liars!
[19:34] Man2
    Good luck! (With parents like that...)
[19:36] Woman1
    It'll be fine! (Little good for nothing...)
[19:37] Kai
    They all lied to me through their teeth.
[19:38] Woman2
    There, there... (What a pain...)
[19:40] Man2
    Oh, don't worry. (Get out of here!)
[19:48] Aichi
    Blaster Blade attacks!
[19:53] Kai
    Dragon Monk, Genjo guards!
[20:00] Kai
    But then...
[20:02] Kai
    ...after I'd been moved several times...
SIGN    Cardshop
[20:13] Boy
    Looking for someone to play against?
[20:16] Boy
    I'll take you on.
[20:24] Boy
    Man, you're good at this...
[20:29] Young Kai
    I did it! I won!
[20:32] Boy2
    All right! I'll play you next!
[20:34] Boy
    I get a rematch first!
[20:36] Kai
    Nobody there lied to me.
[20:40] Kai
    They didn't hold back with what they said.
[20:42] Kai
    That was why...
[20:44] Aichi
    King of Knights, Alfred attacks!
[20:48] Kai
    No guard!
[20:50] Aichi
    Twin drive.
[20:52] Aichi
    Critical trigger!
[20:54] Aichi
    And also...
[20:55] Aichi
    Critical trigger!
[20:57] Morikawa
    A double critical?!
[21:01] Kai
    ...I always fought seriously,
    never holding back!
[21:09] Boy
    I lost!
[21:12] Kai
    Next!
[21:14] Kai
    Who's my next opponent?!
[21:18] Boy
    You go.
[21:20] Boy2
    Forget it! I know I'm just gonna lose!
[21:23] Boy3
    He's too serious!
[21:25] Boy4
    Nobody wants to do a fight
     that they're guaranteed to lose!
[21:33] Kai
    Somewhere down the line,
[21:35] Kai
    they began calling me the "Solitary Fighter."
[23:10] Kai
    The fight between me and Aichi
     grows even more intense.
[23:13] Kai
    Can I beat Aichi when he's using PSYqualia?
[23:16] Kai
    And what kind of conclusion
    awaits us after the fight?
[23:21] Kai
    Next time on Cardfight!! Vanguard...
[23:23] Kai
    The final episode, "Vanguard"!
[23:26] Kai
    Don't miss it!
[23:27] Miwa
    Whaa?! The next episode is the last one?!
[23:29] Kai
    For you, anyway.
[23:30] Miwa
    It's the final episode only for me?! No way!
[23:33] Kai
    Miwa, didn't you notice that
    you had a lot more lines this time?

[23:37] Miwa
    That was a sign I’m gonna die?! Nuts!
