[00:01] Mark
    Li'l Valkerion!
[00:03] Mark
    I can't find Li'l Valkerion anywhere!
[00:07] Tatsuya
    Never mind that. Listen to this!
[00:09] Tatsuya
    For the S Cup, there are
    three members per team,
[00:12] Tatsuya
    and they're all tough opponents who have
    won at her shops' nationwide qualifiers!
[00:16] Tatsuya
    So...
[00:17] Mark
    Wait just a moment!
[00:20] Mark
    What is that?!
[00:22] Shin
    Good morning!
[00:23] Shin
    Please, take my card.
[00:25] Shin
    Good morning!
[00:27] Shin
    Please, take my card.
[00:27] Girl
    Weirdo...
[00:29] Tatsuya
    Shinemon!
[00:30] Tatsuya
    What are you doing?!
[00:32] Shin
    Please, take my card.
[00:35] Mark
    Oh! I am quilt obliged!
[00:38] Tatsuya
    You mean, "I am quite obliged," right?
[00:40] Tatsuya
    That's not the point!
    What are you doing, Shinemon?!
[00:46] Shin
    Check me out!
[00:47] Shin
    Now I'm an adult, too!
[00:50] Esuka
    Still, if you don't mind
    an adult pointing this out,
[00:54] Esuka
    that's not the way the world works.
[00:57] Esuka
    As an adult, I have a responsibility
    to teach you that, child.
[01:03] Shin
    Esuka treats me as nothing but a child!
[01:10] Shin
    But from this day on,
    you can call me Mature-emon. No...
[01:14] Shin
    Make that Adult-emon!
[01:16] Mark
    Oh, no!
[01:18] Tatsuya
    While your style has changed...
[01:20] Mark
    This seems pretty big for a business card.
SIGN    Adult Shinemon Nitta Manager of Card Capital
[01:23] Mark
    Huh?
[01:26] Mark
    An adult wouldn't make
    a business card like this!
[01:33] Shin
    The strength of imagination!
[01:36] Shin
    That's the strength of Vanguard!
[01:41] Shin
    Don't get dominated by
    your opponent's imagination!
[01:44] Shin
    Rewrite that imagination!
SIGN    Remind 11 Shin, Shin, Shinemon?
[03:24] Misaki
    So Shin will be in the S Cup...
[03:27] Misaki
    But won't his grades suffer because of that?
[03:30] Mikuru
    Sorry, after all that Capital
    has done for me and Bro...
[03:36] Rive
    Uh oh!
[03:37] Rive
    I have to get to work!
[03:43] Esuka
    Rive Shindou!
[03:46] Esuka
    How long do you intend to be a babysitter?
[03:49] Rive
    For Shinemon, you mean?
[03:51] Esuka
    In this year's S Cup, I've created two slots
    for teams that are exempt from the qualifier.
[03:55] Esuka
    One is Simple Cinnamon's team.
[03:58] Esuka
    And the other...
[04:00] Rive
    A team to destroy them?
[04:03] Esuka
    How about it?
[04:04] Esuka
    Would the fighter once
    known as "The Board Grappler"
[04:08] Esuka
    be willing to use his skills
    and bring his disciple to his senses?
[04:14] Rive
    For an adult, there's no work
    more important than babysitting a child.
[04:25] Shin
    Listen up.
[04:27] Shin
    We're gonna do intensive
    training here every day.
[04:30] Tatsuya
    Intensive training... for the S Cup?
[04:33] Shin
    Obviously!
[04:34] Shin
    The three of us will compete in it!
[04:37] Shin
    After we win all our matches,
    I'll get one more shot at Esuka herself!
[04:40] Tatsuya
    W-Wait a second.
[04:42] Tatsuya
    Mark I can see, but why me?
[04:44] Shin
    Well, we need three people
    for an S Cup team, right?
[04:48] Mark
    Oh! Now that you mention it,
    there are three of us!
[04:51] Mark
    What a clay-doll instance!
[04:52] Tatsuya
    You mean, "coincidence"!
[04:54] Tatsuya
    But still...
[04:55] Shin
    Don't worry, Tatsuya!
[04:58] Shin
    Remember, you're my disciple!
[05:01] Tatsuya
    But listen to this.
SIGN    Weekly Vanguard
[05:04] Tatsuya
    There used to be a Vanguard fighter
     called, "The Board Grappler,"
[05:08] Tatsuya
    because he fought like a
    martial artist, open and aboveboard.
[05:12] Tatsuya
    This fabled fighter was undefeated in
     official matches, breaking record after record,
[05:17] Tatsuya
    until he just... disappeared.
[05:18] Tatsuya
    Here he is.
[05:21] Mark
    Oh! It's Rive!
[05:23] Shin
    Huh! I didn't know Master was that famous!
SIGN    Absolute Perfection Ever Victorious and Unbeatable
[05:27] Tatsuya
    I came upon this
    while poring through back issues.
[05:31] Tatsuya
    If Rive joined the team,
    your victory would be guaranteed!
[05:35] Shin
    But wouldn't you feel left out, Tatsuya?
[05:38] Tatsuya
    No, of course I wouldn't!
[05:41] Rive
    You're wet behind the ears!
[05:44] Shin
    Master!
[06:02] Oyama
    What the--?!
[06:09] Oyama
    Here!
[06:11] Esuka
    Thank you.
[06:12] Oyama
    So you're on a journey
    in search of strong fighters,
[06:16] Oyama
    and have finally come to
    this neck of the woods, huh?
[06:19] Oyama
    It's almost too cold to bear!
[06:21] Butler
    Mr. Ryutarou Oyama!
[06:24] Butler
    Could you possibly show your fighting
[06:27] Butler
    that "brings a smile to
    everyone's face" at the S Cup?
[06:30] Oyama
    Sounds good. But I've got one condition.
[06:37] Butler
    Of course. Simply name your--
[06:38] Oyama
    This thing's awesome!
[06:40] Oyama
    Would you let me ride it?
[06:43] Esuka
    Ride it?!
[06:44] Esuka
    No way! Forget it!
[06:47] Oyama
    Then be sure to let me ride it after the S Cup!
[06:51] Oyama
    That's our deal!
[06:55] Esuka
    What's with him?!
[06:57] Esuka
    It's sweltering hot!
[06:58] Esuka
    It stinks! And it's hard to move in!
[07:00] Esuka
    And that man wants to wear this thing for fun?!
[07:03] Esuka
    What kind of freak is he?!
[07:06] Butler
    I do sympathize.
[07:08] Butler
    But why are we scouting in disguise?
[07:11] Esuka
    I can't let the world know that I'm personally
    assembling a team to defeat Shinemon!
[07:18] Butler
    Indeed.
[07:20] Esuka
    Drat this thing!
[07:21] Rive
    Hey, Lemon!
[07:24] Rive
    You want me on your team?!
[07:26] Rive
    Ask me that after you've beaten me for once!
[07:29] Shin
    All right, Master.
[07:31] Shin
    But I'm not the Shinemon you once knew!
[07:34] Shin
    From this day on... I'm Adult-emon!
[07:38] Mark
    Oh! You're like an old-timey Japanese papa!
[07:41] Shin/Rive
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[07:47] Shin
    One more time!
[07:48] Rive
    Bring it!
[07:50] Rive
    It's over now!
[07:55] Mark
    Shinemon, you have 6 damage!
[07:57] Shin
    Yes, I know!
[07:59] Shin
    Once more!
[08:01] Rive
    Lemon, is this how an adult fights?
[08:05] Shin
    If only I'd drawn Valkerion...
[08:07] Rive
    Don't you get it yet, Lemon?!
[08:11] Rive
    At this rate, you'll never beat Esuka!
[08:14] Shin
    I got an Imaginary Gift!
[08:18] Tatsuya
    Three gifts on the Vanguard Circle?!
[08:20] Tatsuya
    But why...?!
[08:23] Shin
    Uranus's skill activates!
[08:25] Shin
    I got an Imaginary Gift!
[08:31] Tatsuya
    A fifth one?!
[08:34] Shin
    Circle Shift!
[08:36] Shin
    Once Uranus has five Imaginary Gifts,
[08:39] Shin
    the rear-guard circle behind
    the Vanguard becomes the Astral Plane!
[08:45] Rive
    Grade 3 Gleaming Lord, Uranus can open up
    the Astral Plane behind the Vanguard.
[08:53] Nanami
    What?!
[08:54] Shin
    It's my turn!
[08:56] Nanami
    After giving up once before...
[08:58] Nanami
    Must be nice to be lucky.
[09:00] Shin
    I never gave up!
[09:04] Shin
    Know what luck is?
[09:05] Shin
    It's a gift that only people who don't
    give up to the very end can get!
[09:12] Tatsuya
    Now he's got five Imaginary Gifts!
[09:15] Shin
    Circle Shift!
[09:16] Shin
    Astral Plane!
[09:18] Rive
    The Astral Plane.
[09:20] Rive
    That's a special space overlaid
    onto the planet Cray as a new image.
[09:25] Rive
    There you can summon elements
    scattered across the Milky Way.
[09:29] Rive
    Those elements come together to form
    Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion.
[09:34] Rive
    That's your winning pattern.
[09:37] Rive
    Your deck can only win by using Valkerion.
[09:42] Rive
    Esuka clearly saw that.
[09:45] Rive
    Valkerion is grade 5 with
    70,000 power. It's very strong.
[09:51] Rive
    But you can't ride it or call it.
[09:54] Rive
    It can only stand on the Astral Plane.
[09:57] Rive
    Which means...
[09:58] Tatsuya
    It's definitely not an easy unit to wield.
[10:02] Tatsuya
    Fascinating!
[10:04] Shin
    You're wrong!
[10:05] Shin
    I just didn't draw a heal trigger, that's all!
[10:09] Shin
    It's not like Valkerion lost!
[10:12] Rive
    Exactly!
[10:13] Rive
    Valkerion doesn't lose!
[10:16] Rive
    You're the one who lost!
[10:18] Rive
    You haven't mastered Valkerion!
[10:21] Rive
    You're just a kid who longs for strong figures!
[10:25] Mikuru
    Are you telling him to get rid of Valkerion
    because he's an Immature Cinnamon?!
[10:32] Shin
    I was just unlucky there!
[10:35] Rive
    I'll tell you about luck!
[10:37] Rive
    The thing about luck...
[10:39] Rive
    It's a gift that only people who don't
    give up to the very end can get.
[10:48] Rive
    I have to get to work.
[11:09] Ruga
    What'd you just say?!
[11:11] Butler
    All we said was...
[11:12] Ruga
    You said, "Rive Shindou," didn't you?!
[11:15] Ruga
    Is he gonna participate?!
[11:17] Esuka
    Yes. I believe so...
[11:20] Ruga
    Roger that.
[11:22] Ruga
    I, Ruga Kaizu... I, who have won
    the national tournament twice...
[11:27] Ruga
    ...shall take part in the S Cup!
[11:30] Ruga
    Rive! I've been waiting for this chance!
[11:35] Esuka
    This makes two...
[11:41] Tatsuya
    Valkerion again...
[11:43] Tatsuya
    Even there, Valkerion.
[11:45] Tatsuya
    It's true, you've been winning all this time
    by using Uranus to call Valkerion.
[11:51] Shin
    Uranus is the only grade 3 I have in my deck.
[11:54] Tatsuya
    But the way things stand,
    Rive isn't going to join the team.
[11:59] Tatsuya
    Why not take a chance
    and try using another clan?
[12:03] Shin
    Another clan?
[12:05] Mark
    Oh! Then I recommend Nubatama!
[12:11] Mark
    You get to use all kinds of ninja arts
    and feel like you're a real ninja yourself!
[12:16] Mark
    It's fun!
[12:21] Tatsuya
    Nanami has Neo Nectar.
[12:23] Tatsuya
    Tonori uses Gold Paladin.
[12:26] Tatsuya
    And also...
[12:28] Tatsuya
    There's always my Angel Feather,
    or you could even try Esuka's Great Nature,
[12:33] Tatsuya
    which would level the
    playing field between you.
[12:36] Tatsuya
    Vanguard has over
    20 different clans to choose from!
[12:45] Tatsuya
    So that's a no?
[12:47] Shin
    Sorry.
[12:49] Shin
    Yes, my deck relies on Valkerion.
    Of course I know that.
[12:54] Shin
    But still...
[12:56] Tatsuya
    Why do you like it so much?
[12:59] Tatsuya
    Did you maybe receive that unit
    from someone dear to you, or...?
[13:04] Shin
    Um... I'm not sure.
[13:07] Tatsuya
    You mean there is no special reason?!
[13:12] Shin
    When you put it that way...
[13:15] Tatsuya
    That can't be right!
[13:17] Tatsuya
    It should be a keepsake from your father,
     or something that fell from the heavens...
[13:21] Tatsuya
    Did the card start talking to you?!
[13:24] Tatsuya
    There must be something special about it!
[13:30] Shin
    I'm just a kid...
[13:31] Shin
    I like Valkerion.
[13:33] Shin
    I like Card Capital.
[13:35] Shin
    That's all there is to me.
[13:39] Misaki
    Shin!
[13:40] Shin
    Misaki...
[13:42] Misaki
    Shin, that one's so cool!
[13:45] Shin
    Really?!
[13:47] Shin
    This one's cool?
[13:49] Misaki
    Yeah!
[13:50] Shin
    All right! Then I'll clinch it here!
[13:53] Father
    Oh? You think it'll work out that well for you?
[13:56] Shin
    Valkerion!
[13:59] Shin
    Cool...
[14:01] Shin
    Isn't it enough that it's cool?
[14:05] Mark
    Oh! Nothing wrong with that!
[14:08] Mark
    If you really love it...
[14:12] Shin
    Sub Manager?
[14:17] Shin
    Tatsuya! What about this unit?!
[14:21] Tatsuya
    That's right!
[14:22] Tatsuya
    You could use this one!
[14:25] Shin
    Yeah!
[14:26] Mark/Tatsuya
    Yeah!
[14:30] Mark
    Well...
[14:31] Mark
    The S Cup final round is tomorrow.
[14:33] Mark
    This is your last chance!
[14:36] Rive
    Okay, then show me your answer, Lemon.
[14:42] Shin
    Thank you, Master!
[14:45] Shin/Rive
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[14:51] Rive
    Full Moon Muscle!
[14:55] Shin
    Pan of New Style!
[14:59] Rive
    Attack!
[15:03] Shin
    4 damage...
[15:05] Mikuru
    Wait, what?
[15:06] Mikuru
    Shinemon still has Valkerion in his deck?
[15:10] Tatsuya
    This is Shinemon's answer!
[15:14] Shin
    Master, it's my turn.
[15:17] Shin
    Stand and draw!
[15:18] Shin
    I ride!
[15:24] Rive
    You're riding grade 3 Uranus, again?
[15:28] Rive
    Nothing's changed!
[15:29] Shin
    That roar...
[15:31] Shin
    The call of the stars...
[15:33] Shin
    Shaking the furthest reaches of the Milky Way
    and tearing through the firmament,
[15:37] Shin
    it summons elements from far and wide!
[15:39] Shin
    Its name is...
[15:46] Shin
    Quaking Heavenly Dragon, Astraios Dragon!
[15:51] Shin
    Imaginary Gift!
[15:53] Shin
    Force I!
[15:55] Rive
    Astraios Dragon?
[15:57] Rive
    Not Uranus?
[15:59] Shin
    I can become anything,
    as long as I have the imagination!
[16:03] Shin
    That's the point of Vanguard!
[16:05] Shin
    I call three Atlas of Heavenly Sphere units!
[16:08] Shin
    Its skill activates!
[16:10] Shin
    I got an Imaginary Gift!
[16:13] Shin
    Astraios Dragon's skill activates!
[16:16] Shin
    I got an Imaginary Gift!
[16:20] Tatsuya
    Five Imaginary Gifts, in no time at all!
[16:24] Mikuru
    What happens next?
[16:26] Mark
    Astraios Dragon has the same skill as Uranus.
[16:30] Shin
    That's right. Once Astraios Dragon
    possesses five Imaginary Gift, Force cards...
[16:38] Shin
    Circle Shift!
[16:39] Shin
    Astral Plane!
[16:44] Shin
    O great planetary guardian deity!
[16:48] Shin
    Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
[16:58] Mikuru
    So Uranus isn't the only unit
    that can summon Valkerion!
[17:02] Shin
    I have both Uranus and
    Astraios Dragon in my deck!
[17:06] Shin
    That alone doubles my chances
    of being able to summon Valkerion!
[17:11] Shin
    That's my answer, Master! I'm a kid!
[17:14] Shin
    I love cool things!
[17:16] Shin
    I love Valkerion!
[17:18] Shin
    As a kid, I can't give that up!
[17:22] Shin
    Astraios Dragon attacks your Vanguard!
[17:28] Rive
    No guard!
[17:30] Shin
    Twin drive!
[17:31] Shin
    First check!
[17:33] Shin
    Second check!
[17:35] Shin
    Critical trigger!
[17:36] Shin
    I give the power to Prometheus
    and the extra critical to Astraios Dragon!
[17:44] Rive
    Damage check!
[17:48] Tatsuya
    All right! No trigger!
[17:50] Mikuru
    One more damage point and Shinemon wins!
[17:54] Shin
    Prometheus of Dancing Lights
    attacks your Vanguard!
[17:58] Shin
    Skill activates! It gains +5000 power!
[18:03] Rive
    Clay-doll Mechanic! Fusing Striker!
[18:08] Tatsuya
    He blocked it!
[18:10] Shin
    I'll win it with this!
[18:11] Shin
    Valkerion! Zodiac Blazer!
[18:16] Rive
    It's time, Twin Blader!
[18:25] Shin
    A perfect guard...
[18:27] Mark
    No! You just had 1 damage to go...
[18:30] Tatsuya
    But you still have a unit that can attack!
[18:33] Shin
    Oh, right!
[18:34] Shin
    My other Prometheus attacks your Vanguard!
[18:38] Shin
    Prometheus gains power with its skill!
[18:57] Striker
    Be careful, my Vanguard.
[19:01] Silver Fist
    Fortune favor you.
[19:04] Shin
    My turn's over.
[19:06] Rive
    End of the line, Valkerion.
[19:15] Tatsuya
    Once the turn is over,
    Valkerion has to return to the deck!
[19:25] Mark
    Your best chance got away!
[19:28] Tatsuya
    No, it's still up in the air.
[19:31] Tatsuya
    If you survive this, it's possible for you
    to call Valkerion back in the next turn!
[19:37] Mikuru
    So Shinemon hasn't lost yet!
[19:40] Shin
    This is the day I beat you...
[19:42] Shin
    ...Master!
[19:46] Rive
    Bravo... Shinemon.
[19:50] Shin
    D-Did you just call me Shinemon?!
[19:54] Shin
    Master!
[19:55] Rive
    Whoops! I have to get to work!
[19:57] Rive
    The match ends here.
[20:01] Shin
    How could you?!
[20:03] Shin
    Master! Hey, Master!
[20:06] Rive
    See you at Esuka's main shop tomorrow.
[20:08] Rive
    Don't be late.
[20:09] Mikuru
    Wait up!
[20:11] Mark
    What does that mean?
[20:13] Tatsuya
    It means he'll join the team!
[20:17] Shin
    Master's joining us?!
[20:25] Rive
    It was a good match.
[20:28] Rive
    Depending on my next turn, I may have lost.
[20:32] Mikuru
    Really?
[20:33] Rive
    Yeah.
[20:35] Rive
    If he imagines it, he can become
    Uranus or Astraios Dragon, eh?
[20:42] Mikuru
    What does that mean?
[20:43] Rive
    I made a mistake.
[20:46] Rive
    Shinemon is a child.
[20:48] Rive
    His possibilities are limitless.
[20:50] Rive
    He could even end up
    becoming as strong as Valkerion.
[20:55] Rive
    As long as he doesn't forget to imagine it.
[21:06] Esuka
    So, please!
[21:07] Butler
