**[00:01] Esuka**
Care to try fighting me?
**[00:04] Esuka**
There will soon be the opportunity
to make that dream a reality.
**[00:08] Esuka**
Card Shop Esuka Group
brings you our big annual event:
***SIGN*** Esu Cup
**[00:14] Esuka**
The Esu Cup!
**[00:16] Esuka**
Six teams that have won
shop qualifiers all across the country,
**[00:19] Esuka**
along with two special seeded teams,
**[00:21] Esuka**
will battle it out in a tournament
for the right to challenge me, Esuka Hibino!
**[00:28] Esuka**
What kind of fighter will I get to face?
**[00:32] Esuka**
I can't wait to find out!
**[00:34] Tonori**
Tomorrow's the big day.
**[00:38] Tonori**
Not that I'd expect you to, but you'd
better not throw the championship, yo.
**[00:45] Nanami**
Of course I wouldn't do that.
**[00:47] Nanami**
But still, if we win this, then he won't...
**[00:53] Esuka**
See you at the Esuka main shop!
**[00:57] Nanami**
Walk with me, Tonori.
**[01:06] Tonori**
It ain't our business whether
this place ends up as Esuka or Capital, yo.
**[01:11] Tonori**
A card shop's a card shop.
**[01:14] Nanami**
True.
**[01:16] Shin**
You will come, won't you?
***SIGN*** Manager
**[01:18] Shin**
*Two* Masters?!
**[01:22] Nanami**
Who're you calling "Master"?!
**[01:24] Nanami**
But still...
**[01:26] Shin**
Huh? Nanami?
**[01:28] Mark**
Accompanied by Lord Tonori?
**[01:32] Shin**
What are you doing here?
**[01:34] Nanami**
I-I just happened to be walking by!
**[01:37] Tonori**
You're transparent, yo.
**[01:43] Nanami**
And what about *you*?
**[01:45] Nanami**
Here to bid farewell to this place?
**[01:49] Nanami**
I'm sure you intend to get
the shop back by fighting Ms. Esuka,
**[01:53] Nanami**
but too bad!
**[01:54] Nanami**
The one to fight Ms. Esuka...
**[01:56] Nanami**
...will be *me*!
**[01:59] Nanami**
You have a zero percent chance of
taking your shop back, Shinemon Nitta!
**[02:03] Tonori**
This that sweet-'n'-sour thing?
**[02:11] Shin**
It's a good point. Everyone will fight hard.
**[02:14] Shin**
I doubt reaching the point
where I can fight Esuka will be easy.
**[02:17] Shin**
That's exactly why I'm here.
**[02:21] Shin**
In order to imagine getting Capital back!
**[02:26] Shin**
And that's why our team name is Team Capital!
**[02:32] Tonori**
So Team Capital's you three, yo?
**[02:39] Tatsuya**
N-No, I'm...
**[02:41] Mark**
It's me, Shinemon, and Rive.
**[02:48] Tonori**
Wanna join our team, then?
**[02:51] Tatsuya**
M-Me?!
**[02:54] Tonori**
Actually, just the two of us
made it through the qualifier.
**[02:58] Tonori**
We ain't got a third member, yo.
**[03:01] Tonori**
So I don't mind you joinin' us.
**[03:03] Tonori**
It's like my way of atonin'
for intimidatin' you before, yo.
**[03:07] Tatsuya**
B-But I...
**[03:08] Shin**
Why not?!
**[03:10] Shin**
You'll get to fight strong opponents
from all across the country!
**[03:13] Shin**
It'd be awesome training!
**[03:18] Tatsuya**
Understood! I'll do my best!
**[03:22] Shin**
Let's fight fair and square tomorrow.
**[03:26] Nanami**
You'd better put up a decent fight.
**[03:31] Shin**
Right!
***SIGN*** Remind 12 Team Dragon's Vanity!!
**[05:10] Shin**
Take good care of it.
**[05:12] Mikuru**
Gotcha.
**[05:14] Shin**
Anyway, what's taking Mark so long?
**[05:16] Shin**
It's way past the time we were going to meet.
**[05:19] Mikuru**
Maybe your habitual lateness
rubbed off on him, Dumbro!
**[05:22] Rive**
I was on time today!
**[05:26] Mark**
Sorry to keep you waiting!
**[05:28] Shin**
You're late! What were you doing?!
**[05:30] Mark**
I was preparing Team Capital's attire!
**[05:35] Shin**
Attire?
**[05:36] Mark**
For an event of this magnitude,
**[05:37] Mark**
wouldn't you say, "the clothes hit the fan"?
**[05:41] Rive**
That's "the clothes make the man"!
**[05:43] Mark**
So I've got uniforms for the three of us!
**[05:47] Shin**
All right! Let's do this!
**[05:49] All**
Yeah!
**[05:53] Butler**
Team Capital has arrived.
**[05:57] Esuka**
Oh?
**[06:04] Esuka**
I'm going to take a shower.
**[06:08] Mark**
So let's get changed!
**[06:10] Mark**
I, of course...
**[06:12] Mark**
...shal wear this, verily!
**[06:14] Rive**
Oh, come on...
**[06:18] Mark**
I looked at old photos for inspiration.
**[06:21] Rive**
Nice one!
**[06:22] Shin**
This isn't nice at all!
**[06:25] Shin**
You just used my Halloween costume!
**[06:29] Mark**
Verily, that outfit screams *you*, Shinemon.
**[06:31] Mikuru**
It suits you even better,
Moron Magistrate Cinnamon!
**[06:36] Shin**
*This* much, I can tolerate.
**[06:38] Rive**
You're no fun.
**[06:42] Butler**
Once you are ready, fighters,
please proceed to the arena.
**[06:46] Mark**
One moment, please!
**[06:49] Mark**
Would you honor us by taking a photo
before we head off to battle?
**[06:52] Mikuru**
Sure!
**[06:54] Mikuru**
Say "cheese!"
**[06:58] Mikuru**
Be sure to win!
**[07:00] Shin**
Of course.
**[07:02] Shin**
I wouldn't blow the chance Esuka gave me.
**[07:11] Rive**
Is Esuka in the arena?
**[07:14] Butler**
No, she's still in her quarters.
**[07:17] Rive**
Oh.
**[07:19] Shin**
All of these people...
**[07:21] Shin**
...have their game faces on!
**[07:23] Mark**
Verily, they are like feudal warlords.
**[07:26] Shin**
Well, not quite all of them...
**[07:29] Shin**
Buck up, Tatsuya!
**[07:31] Shin**
You're not being ushered to your execution!
**[07:34] Tatsuya**
I know, but...
**[07:38] Nanami**
I looked at the tournament chart earlier.
**[07:40] Nanami**
Assuming we both keep winning,
we'll see you in the finals.
**[07:43] Shin**
Yeah. That's a welcome development.
**[07:46] Shin**
Right, Master?
**[07:48] Shin**
Huh? Where's Master?
**[07:50] Mark**
He was here but a moment ago.
**[07:57] Shin**
That's... not Master, is it?
**[08:00] Nanami**
Wouldn't they be the other special seeded team?
**[08:03] Nanami**
"Team Dragon's Vanity," or such.
**[08:07] Mark**
Why do they mask their faces?
**[08:10] Tonori**
*You're* one to talk, yo.
**[08:15] Miya**
All right! And now, theeee--
**[08:18] Miya**
P-Pardon me for that...
**[08:21] Miya**
And now, the Esu Cup begins!
**[08:25] Miya**
The fighters enter the arena!
**[08:30] Mikuru**
Good luck, Shinemon! Mark! Bro!
**[08:36] Mikuru**
Where's my dumb brother?
**[08:39] Miya**
First, a few words from the sponsor
of this tournament, Esuka Hibino.
**[08:50] Esuka**
The most important thing about Vanguard...
**[08:53] Esuka**
...is the power of imagination!
**[08:56] Esuka**
So imagine yourself... winning!
**[09:00] Esuka**
Rewrite your image of the past...
**[09:03] Esuka**
...and imagine your future self as it should be!
**[09:06] Esuka**
That is all!
**[09:11] Miya**
Thank you!
**[09:13] Miya**
And now, on to the matches!
**[09:16] Miya**
In this tournament, aside from the finals,
all of the team members fight simultaneously.
**[09:23] Miya**
The first match:
***SIGN*** Match 1 Team Capital vs Team Dontaku
**[09:25] Miya**
Team Capital versus Team Dontaku!
**[09:28] Shin**
We're up first?
**[09:30] Mark**
What should we do?
**[09:32] Shin**
The two of us have no choice but to wing it!
**[09:34] Shin**
If we both win, we'll move on!
**[09:37] Mark**
Verily, roger that!
**[09:39] Miya**
Incidentally, I'm the president of the
Harumi High School Broadcasting Club,
**[09:44] Miya**
and my dream is to give the play-by-play
at an international Vanguard tournament.
**[09:49] Miya**
The name is MC Miya!
**[09:50] Miya**
And this is my first step forward!
**[09:53] Mya**
With me to provide commentary is
the man known as "The Board Grappler"!
**[10:00] Rive**
Hello. I'm your commentator, Rive Shindou.
**[10:03] Shin**
What are you doing, Master?!
**[10:05] Rive**
Like I said! Commentary!
**[10:07] Mark**
Oh no!
**[10:10] Shin**
Who gives commentary on their own team?!
**[10:14] Rive**
Me, of course!
**[10:25] Esuka**
Should you be here? It's about to start.
**[10:30] Rive**
Without you, the sponsor...
**[10:33] Rive**
...the matches can't start.
**[10:37] Esuka**
What do you want?
**[10:39] Rive**
Could you use a commentator?
**[10:43] Rive**
I'd deliver amazing color commentary.
**[10:47] Esuka**
What about the match?
**[10:49] Rive**
If he just relies on me,
there's no way he can beat you.
**[10:55] Rive**
He's a Naive-emon.
**[11:01] Esuka**
It's tough being a babysitter, huh?
**[11:07] Shin**
Fine!
**[11:09] Shin**
The two of us alone will win!
**[11:12] Miya**
Then let the fights begin!
**[11:16] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[11:32] Miya**
The third match is nearing its end!
**[11:37] Miya**
The favorite is Team TNT,
representing the Esuka main shop.
**[11:42] Miya**
They've dominated all of their matches so far.
**[11:53] Opponent A**
No trigger!
**[11:56] Miya**
Nanami Gonomi wins!
**[11:59] Nanami**
Nice try.
**[12:01] Tonori**
Now I'll go, too!
**[12:04] Tonori**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[12:13] Opponent B**
No trigger!
***SIGN*** Team TNT vs Team Nebuta
**[12:19] Miya**
Tonori Fujinami also makes a clean sweep.
**[12:21] Miya**
Two wins for Team TNT!
**[12:24] Miya**
Even without the outcome of Tachibana's fight,
**[12:26] Miya**
they've clinched a place in the semifinals!
**[12:29] Rive**
They were fired up since before the match began.
**[12:33] Rive**
I hope the *other* teams
learn from their example.
**[12:36] Shin**
It's not like I wasn't fired up!
**[12:39] Mark**
Now, now... as they say, winning is something.
**[12:41] Shin**
*Every*thing!
**[12:44] Tatsuya**
I ride!
**[12:46] Tatsuya**
Cosmo Healer, Ergodiel!
**[12:49] Opponent C**
Aww, man! We lost!
**[12:52] Opponent C**
Darn it! You guys beat us!
**[12:56] Tonori**
He's right about that, yo.
**[13:00] Tatsuya**
Thank goodness...
**[13:05] Shin**
Tatsuya!
**[13:06] Mikuru**
Tatsuya?!
**[13:08] Mark**
The sudden relief from nervousness did him in.
**[13:12] Shin**
He'd better rest up somewhere.
**[13:15] Butler**
I'll show you to the infirmary.
**[13:18] Shin**
Please do!
**[13:19] Tonori**
U-Um... We'll come too, yo.
**[13:24] Shin**
Leave this to us.
**[13:26] Shin**
You'd better watch the next match.
**[13:28] Shin**
You're fighting whoever wins, right?
**[13:34] Nanami**
Okay.
***SIGN*** Infirmary
**[13:43] Tatsuya**
Shinemon...
**[13:48] Tatsuya**
What am I doing here?!
**[13:50] Mark**
Verily, you fainted in the midst of a fight.
**[13:54] Tatsuya**
What have I done?!
**[13:56] Shin**
Don't worry. Your team won.
**[13:59] Mark**
Verily, do your best in the next!
**[14:01] Tatsuya**
Okay...
**[14:05] Mark**
The fourth match is over?
**[14:07] Shin**
Wasn't that a little too quick?
**[14:10] Rive**
Sorry, there was a long line for the restroom.
**[14:19] Rive**
It's over already?
**[14:21] Miya**
Y-Yes...
**[14:23] Miya**
Dosanko, the team from Hokkaido,
has been mercilessly defeated.
**[14:31] Miya**
The special seeded Team Dragon's Vanity...
**[14:35] Miya**
...is going on to the semifinals!
**[14:38] Miya**
They're strong! *Too* strong!
***SIGN*** Team TNT Waiting Room
**[14:41] Tonori**
You okay, Tatsuya?
**[14:44] Tatsuya**
I'm sorry I made you worry...
**[14:47] Shin**
So how did Team Dragon's Vanity do?
**[14:51] Nanami**
They may give us some trouble.
**[14:54] Nanami**
But...
**[14:55] Nanami**
...we're still gonna win!
**[14:57] Nanami**
And then, in the final...
**[15:01] Nanami**
...I'll beat you, Shinemon Nitta...
**[15:03] Nanami**
...and win the tournament!
**[15:05] Nanami**
I imagined it!
**[15:08] Nanami**
I *will* fight Ms. Esuka and defeat her!
***SIGN*** Team Capital vs Team Danjiri
**[15:14] Miya**
Now for the first match of the semifinals!
Here comes Team Capital!
**[15:19] Rive**
What's this?! Just those two again?
**[15:22] Rive**
They can't afford to lose a single fight!
Man, what risk-takers they are!
**[15:28] Shin**
It's because you're *there*, Master!
**[15:31] Shin**
Don't talk like it's not your doing!
**[15:33] Mark**
Verily, in the end, we're still on our own!
**[15:36] Rive**
Well, this time, I hope that *special*
seeded team shows us what they've got!
**[15:44] Miya**
Well, like in the first round,
this was a close one.
***SIGN*** Team Capital vs Team Danjiri
**[15:47] Miya**
Shinemon Nitta has won by a hair!
***SIGN*** Team Capital
**[15:51] Miya**
And with that,
Team Capital advances to the finals!
**[15:51] Shin**
Yes! We did it! Hurray!
**[15:55] Miya**
What's this? Team Dragon's Vanity
has entered the arena early.
**[16:12] Ruga**
For a disciple of Rive Shindou...
**[16:14] Ruga**
...that fight was pathetic.
**[16:20] Shin**
You know Master?!
**[16:23] Ruga**
Well, yes...
**[16:29] Ruga**
My name is Ruga Kaizu!
**[16:32] Tatsuya**
*The* Ruga Kaizu?!
**[16:37] Tatsuya**
He's Master Commander of the Field!
**[16:39] Nanami**
He's tough?
**[16:40] Tatsuya**
Of course!
**[16:41] Tonori**
Anyone who watches tournaments
knows about him, yo.
**[16:48] Audience**
No wonder! It's Ruga!
**[16:50] Audience**
Master Commander!
**[16:51] Audience**
To think I'd see him here!
**[16:54] Ruga**
The one moving on to the finals... will be me!
**[16:58] Nanami**
And who are you?
**[17:03] Shin**
Nanami!
**[17:06] Nanami**
You may be "Master Commander" or whatever...
**[17:09] Nanami**
...but my team will be the one
moving on to the finals!
**[17:13] Ruga**
I have no patience for childish prattling.
**[17:16] Nanami**
So why don't you retire already, old man?
**[17:21] Ryutarou**
That's enough, you two.
**[17:25] Ryutarou**
Fights are supposed to be fun.
**[17:30] Miya**
It's the second match of the semifinals,
and only one of them will go on to the finals!
**[17:37] Our Three**
Stand up...
**[17:38] Other Three**
...Vanguard!
**[17:41] Nanami**
Here I come!
**[17:47] Nanami**
I'm not done yet!
**[17:50] Ruga**
Don't get cocky!
**[17:55] Nanami**
Finish him off, Kaivant!
**[17:59] Kaivant**
Yes, my Vanguard!
**[18:01] Ruga**
I told you not to get cocky!
**[18:07] Miya**
Somehow Kaizu has pulled through!
**[18:11] Miya**
But he's got 5 damage!
**[18:13] Miya**
Gonomi, on the other hand, has 3 damage!
**[18:16] Nanami**
Next turn, it'll be over!
**[18:18] Ruga**
I'm here to fight Rive Shindou.
**[18:21] Ruga**
You are beneath my notice!
**[18:24] Ruga**
I ride Last Card, Revonn!
**[18:27] Ruga**
Imaginary Gift, Accel 2!
**[18:31] Ruga**
Report for duty!

**[18:42] Ryutarou**
With Voltage Horn Dragon...
**[18:45] Ryutarou**
...I attack your Vanguard!
**[18:47] Ryutarou**
I bind Battlefield Storm, Sagramore!
**[18:56] Tonori**
I'm... starving...!
**[19:00] Tonori**
I'm not letting you walk all over me!
**[19:04] Tonori**
I guard with Flame of Victory!
**[19:07] Ryutarou**
Oh, so that's your move? Nice one!
**[19:11] Ryutarou**
Vanguard really is fun!
**[19:17] Tonori**
That laugh... Don't tell me you're...
**[19:23] Ryutarou**
My name is Ryutarou Oyama!
**[19:25] Ryutarou**
The man who loves both
Vanguard and the great outdoors!
**[19:29] Audience**
Ryutarou Oyama?!
**[19:31] Audience**
Didn't he go missing?!
***SIGN*** The ABCs of Vanguard
**[19:33] Audience**
Is it really him?!
**[19:34] Miya**
Wow! The second member of Team Dragon's Vanity
**[19:37] Miya**
is the fighter of endless summer, straight from
the snowy mountains: Ryutarou Oyama!
**[19:42] Ryutarou**
Let's have fun to the very end!
**[19:45] Tonori**
Works for me, yo!
**[19:46] Miya**
Now I'm very curious about
the third fighter's identity...
**[19:55] Kanzaki**
Weak...
**[19:57] Kanzaki**
Weak! Weak! Weak!
**[20:01] Kanzaki**
You're too weak!
**[20:06] Miya**
Oh, my! Their third member...
**[20:09] Miya**
...is the champion of the World Vanguard
High School Championship,
**[20:12] Miya**
Yuichirou Kanzaki!
**[20:15] Tatsuya**
*That* Kanzaki?!
**[20:17] Tatsuya**
I don't stand a ghost of a chance!
**[20:20] Miya**
Unbelievably, three legends of the
Vanguard world have come together!
**[20:25] Miya**
To form the fearsome Team Dragon's Vanity!
**[20:29] Kanzaki**
With my Claret Sword Dragon, if I bind
seven grade 1 cards in the Drop Zone,
**[20:36] Kanzaki**
I can attack once more
in exchange for losing a drive!
**[20:41] Kanzaki**
Weakness is a sin!
**[20:45] Kanzaki**
I want you...
**[20:47] Kanzaki**
...out of my sight!
**[20:55] Oyama**
Here I come!
**[20:57] Tonori**
Elixir Sommelier!
**[21:00] Rutarou**
Twin drive!
**[21:03] Ryutarou**
First check!
**[21:06] Ryutarou**
Second check!
**[21:08] Ryutarou**
Critical trigger!
**[21:14] Tonori**
No big surprise...
***SIGN*** Team Dragon's Vanity vs Team TNT
**[21:20] Miya**
Team TNT has two losses!
**[21:22] Miya**
They are officially defeated!
**[21:29] Ruga**
As expected, that wasn't worth my while.
**[21:33] Miya**
Team Dragon's Vanity will face
Team Capital in the finals!
**[21:40] Shin**
I can't believe Nanami lost!
**[21:42] Mark**
They're too tough.
**[21:45] Rive**
Well, they were headhunted to crush us.
**[21:51] Rive**
Of course they'd be strong.
**[21:57] Shin**
She wasn't giving me another chance?!
**[22:01] Rive**
Adults play to win.
**[22:09] Shin**
