**[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?
***SIGN*** Image 25
The Vanguard
**[23:37] Miwa**
That was a sign I’m gonna die?! Nuts!
