[00:06] Student C     I'm a big fan! [00:08] Student C     Could I have your autograph? [00:09] Student A     Hey, you jerk! That's out of line! [00:12] Student B     That's right! Our teacher said     we should treat her with discretion! [00:17] Kourin     While I'm at this school,     I'm simply a fellow student. [00:22] Kourin     I hope we can all be friends [00:24] Kourin     without any fuss made over me. [00:27] The Four     Yes! Let's be friends! [00:29] Student E     H-Hey, that's one of the members of the     Tatsunagi family's idol group, "Ultra-rare"! [00:34] Student F     What?! The IT industry conglomerate [00:36] Student F     that's also said to dominate     the media all around the world?! [00:39] Student F     The Tatsunagi Foundation?! [00:41] Student G     I wanna get closer to her! [00:44] Aichi     E-Excuse me... [00:46] Aichi     Please let me by. [00:47] Student H     Look, it's Kourin! [00:49] Naoki     You're in the way! Move! [00:57] Aichi     U-Um... [00:58] Aichi     Thank you, Ishida. [01:01] Naoki     Huh? I didn't do jack. [01:04] Aichi     Isn't it amazing that     an idol transferred into our class? [01:08] Naoki     You think so? [01:09] Naoki     It's just annoying to me,      how everybody's gushing over her. [01:12] Aichi     I suppose I'm not very comfortable     with all the commotion, either. [01:20] Aichi     But anyway... [01:21] Aichi     I'm going to go put up my Cardfight Club fliers. [01:25] Naoki     Fliers? [01:27] Aichi     S-Sorry. [01:29] Aichi     I bumped into you again. [01:32] Aichi     Oh! Maybe you'd like... [01:37] Naoki     Oh, that. [01:39] Aichi     This morning I put up a flier [01:41] Aichi     on the bulletin board     in front of the faculty room, [01:44] Aichi     but the response was kind of... lukewarm... [01:48] Aichi     So I thought I'd be     a little more proactive about it. [01:52] Naoki     You're gonna put up all of those? [01:54] Aichi     I guess it is a lot... [01:56] Naoki     Well... [01:58] Naoki     Good luck with that. [01:59] Aichi     Thanks! [02:02] Aichi     Did that go okay? [02:05] Aichi     I didn't act strange, did I? [02:07] Aichi     No, I feel like I did a good job     of talking to him normally. [02:21] Aichi     No, I can't let it get to me. [02:24] Aichi     I won't cower in fear anymore. [02:28] Aichi     Now, let's get started!     This is just the beginning! [02:31] Aichi     Stand up, High School Life! [02:35] Aichi     Oh, uh, n-nothing... [02:38] Aichi     I'm now a student at Miyaji Academy [02:41] Aichi     and have decided to start a Cardfight Club... [02:46] Aichi     I've got to imagine it! [02:49] Aichi     Today, my imagination will take shape! SIGN    Image 28 Cardfight Club Initiated! [04:30] Naoki     What's with me? [04:32] Naoki     Chatting with a kid like that... [04:34] Naoki     Sheesh. It ain't like we're friends... [04:38] Boy A     Naoki! [04:40] Boy A     C'mere, Naoki! [04:43] Boy A     This is fun! [04:45] Boy A     If he falls, you get one point. [04:47] Boy A     If he cries, you get ten points. [04:49] Boy A     Well? Wanna give it a try? [04:51] Young Naoki     That's dumb. [04:56] Naoki     I thought, "That's boring..."     and didn't do anything. [05:03] Naoki     If I remember right, those bullies     all got expelled from the academy after that. [05:14] Naoki     Aw, nuts! [05:19] Naoki     But still... [05:21] Naoki     ...the kid who got bullied's     come back to the academy. [05:24] Naoki     And he's trying to do... something. [05:27] Naoki     Seriously, what's this     card club thing he's trying to form? [05:35] Aichi     W-Won't you join the Cardfight Club?! [05:38] Aichi     If you're curious, please try it out! [05:40] Aichi     U-Um... [05:42] Aichi     Even if you've never played, I'll teach you! [05:45] Aichi     I guarantee it'll be fun! [05:47] Aichi     How about it?! [05:49] Student H     What's he doing? Soliciting for a club? [05:52] Student I     No one's going to join anything like that! [05:55] Student J     Let's go, Kourin. [05:57] Student K     Huh? But wait... [05:59] Student K     Didn't Kourin do a commercial     for some card game? [06:03] Kourin     Well then, good day to you all. [06:11] Student H     Check out that car! [06:12] Student I     That's the Tatsunagi Foundation for you. [06:21] Aichi     In the end, not one person took a flier... [06:26] Aichi     No, it's just that they're     not familiar with Vanguard yet. [06:30] Aichi     I have to work harder at making sure     they all know just how fun the game is! [06:39] Naoki     That kid lives near here? [06:47] Naoki     What's this place? [06:50] Naoki     "Card Capital"? [06:53] Aichi     Hello! [06:54] Kamui     Brother Aichi! [06:55] Morikawa     You're late! [06:56] Miwa     Fight me first! [06:58] Kamui     No, I'm first! [07:00] Naoki     I don't get why,     but the kid seems awful popular here! [07:04] Shin     Welcome! [07:06] Kamui     Me! Me! [07:07] Kamui     I'm first! [07:07] Naoki     O-Old man! [07:08] Shin     Yes? [07:09] Shin     Wait, I'm old?! [07:11] Naoki     Hey, old man... [07:13] Naoki     What kinda shop is this?! [07:14] Shun     I'm so glad you asked! [07:18] Shin     This is a specialty shop run by     and for people who love card games! [07:23] Shin     It's called Card Capital! [07:25] Shin     Sir, I notice that you're wearing     the same uniform as Aichi... [07:28] Shin     Are you his friend? [07:30] Naoki     Not really. [07:32] Naoki     Whoa, hang on... [07:34] Naoki     Is he such a regular here     that you remember his name? [07:37] Shin     Of course I do! [07:38] Shin     He's the champion of     the Vanguard Fight Asia Circuit! [07:43] Naoki     A champion?! Him?! [07:45] Shin     Why not come in and check it out? [07:48] Shin     A fight is about to begin! [07:52] Shin     Come on in! [07:53] Naoki     Well, since you insist... [07:56] The Two     Stand up, Vanguard! [08:00] Aichi     I ride Glyme! [08:02] Kamui     The Great Kamui rides Battleraizer! [08:05] Aichi     I ride Allen! [08:07] Aichi     My turn's over. [08:08] Kamui     I ride Raizer Custom! [08:10] Kamui     Then I draw and attack with Raizer Custom! [08:13] Aichi     No guard! [08:15] Kamui     Drive check! [08:16] Kamui     I got a draw trigger! [08:19] Aichi     Damage check! [08:22] Naoki     I don't get it... [08:25] Shin     Sir, is this your first encounter with Vanguard? [08:29] Naoki     Well, yeah... [08:31] Shin     I see! [08:32] Shin     Then, I'll explain the basics. [08:36] Shin     To start, there are two things     you should remember about Vanguard. [08:40] Shin     The first is "Ride",     which is when you possess a unit. [08:43] Shin     The second is "Call",     which is when you summon a unit. [08:46] Naoki     W-W-Wait a sec! [08:48] Naoki     What's the difference? [08:50] Shin     "Ride" is for you yourself, the player! [08:53] Shin     "Call" is for friends who fight alongside you. [08:56] Naoki     You yourself, and friends... [08:58] Shin     The unit that the player rides     is called the "Vanguard," [09:02] Shin     and the friend units are called "rear-guards." [09:05] Naoki     A "vanguard," and "rear-guards"... [09:07] Shin     Right! [09:09] Shin     Both players employ their units' abilities, [09:12] Shin     and the first one to deal 6 damage points      to their opponent's Vanguard is the winner. [09:17] Shin     And then there's     the most important thing of all! [09:21] Naoki     What's most important? [09:23] Shin     That's... [09:24] Shin     ...imagination! [09:26] Naoki     Huh? [09:27] Shin     Imagine it! [09:28] Shin     Imagination will become your strength! [09:31] Naoki     The heck? You making fun of me, old man? [09:34] Kamui     Manager! [09:36] Kamui     We're fighting here, so keep it down! [09:39] Shin     Oh, pardon me! [09:41] Naoki     Ah, crud! [09:43] Naoki     He almost saw me! [09:46] Shin     Now, spread the wings of your imagination, [09:49] Shin     and observe their fight! [09:51] Shin     Aichi is leading his friends     on the planet Cray into battle... [09:55] Shin     ...as their vanguard! [09:57] Naoki     He's doing the leading...? [10:04] Aichi     Blaster Blade attacks Raizer Custom! [10:10] Kamui     No guard! [10:11] Aichi     Drive check! [10:13] Morikawa     There it is! A critical trigger! [10:16] Aichi     I give the power to Gallatin, [10:17] Aichi     and the extra critical to Blaster Blade! [10:27] Kamui     Damage check! [10:32] Naoki     "Damage check"? [10:34] Naoki     Old man... [10:35] Shin     Please, call me "Manager"! [10:36] Naoki     What just happened?! [10:37] Shin     Some units have special icons on them. [10:42] Shin     The card Aichi just drew [10:44] Shin     had an icon indicating     that it was a "critical trigger," [10:47] Shin     meaning that if his attack succeeded, [10:49] Shin     the damage would increase by 1 point. [10:52] Naoki     In other words, Sendou's attack     hit his opponent's weak point?! [10:56] Shin     Exactly! [10:57] Shin     It sounds like you're giving     your imagination a real workout! [11:02] Aichi     Go, Gallatin! [11:03] Kamui     Let's stop him, Turboraizer! [11:08] Kamui     I ain't out yet! [11:10] Kamui     It's the Great Kamui's turn! [11:11] Aichi     Go ahead, Kamui! [11:15] Kamui     I ride! [11:19] Kamui     Hi-powered Raizer Custom! [11:27] Kamui     Yes! [11:34] Aichi     I ride! [11:39] Aichi     King of Knights, Alfred! [11:43] Aichi     Imaginary Gift! Force! [11:46] Aichi     Counterblast! [11:48] Aichi     I superior call Blaster Blade! [11:55] Blaster     Burst Buster! [12:05] Kamui     I lost again! [12:07] Shin     What do you think, sir? [12:08] Shin     Were you able to imagine it? [12:10] Shin     Huh? [12:14] Naoki     Sheesh, what the heck's with that kid?! [12:17] Naoki     He was so pumped in there,     I'd swear he was a whole different person! [12:21] Naoki     Is that card game really that fun? [12:31] Aichi     Good morning! [12:34] Aichi     Please take a flyer!     It's for the Cardfight Club! [12:38] Aichi     Good morning! [12:39] Aichi     Oh! [12:40] Aichi     Misaki! [12:41] Misaki     Aichi... [12:43] Aichi     Um... [12:44] Aichi     Please take one. [12:47] Misaki     I told you, I don't have time... [12:49] Aichi     Yes, I know. [12:51] Aichi     But maybe just in case you have     friends who might be interested...? [12:58] Kourin     What do you think you're doing? [13:00] Aichi     Huh? [13:00] Kourin     You. The champion of the Asia Circuit. [13:04] Kourin     I asked what you think you're doing! [13:07] Aichi     Wha?! You recognized me?! [13:09] Kourin     Of course I did! [13:10] Aichi     Well, you see... [13:12] Aichi     This school doesn't have a Cardfight club, [13:15] Aichi     and it seems that few of     the students know about Vanguard. [13:19] Aichi     So I thought I'd form a club myself. [13:22] Kourin     That sounds tough. [13:24] Aichi     It is. [13:25] Aichi     According to the rules, [13:26] Aichi     if I can't get at least five members, [13:29] Aichi     the Student Council     won't recognize it as a club. [13:32] Kourin     So? How many do you have so far? [13:34] Aichi     Huh? [13:35] Kourin     I asked how many members you have so far! [13:39] Aichi     Right... [13:39] Aichi     Well, actually... [13:42] Aichi     ...it's still just me. [13:43] Kourin     Fine. [13:45] Kourin     In that case, I'll join the Cardfight Club. [13:48] Aichi     Huh? [13:49] Kourin     I'll be your first member! [13:52] Aichi     Uh... [13:52] Aichi     Wha?! [13:53] Aichi     You, Ms. Tatsunagi?! [14:10] Student A     Huh? You're going to join, Kourin?! [14:13] Student D     Then I'll join, too! [14:14] Student C     Yeah, sign me up! [14:15] Student B     Sendou, I wanna join, too! [14:18] Student     Please! Please! [14:20] Student A     Sendou, I'll take a flier. [14:21] Kourin     Just a moment. [14:23] Kourin     Now that I'm a member,     I refuse to accept anyone joining on a lark. [14:28] Kourin     The only ones qualified to join the club     are those who can defeat me or Aichi Sendou. [14:33] Kourin     In a Vanguard fight, that is. [14:35] Aichi     Huh?! [14:36] All     What?! [14:39] Aichi     Here! [14:41] Aichi     Right here is the end of the line     for the Cardfight Club initiation test! [14:46] Aichi     We'll lend you a deck,     so don't hesitate to try! [14:50] Kourin     Attack! [14:52] Student A     I didn't stand a chance! [14:54] Kourin     Next. [14:55] Student D     No way! [14:57] Kourin     Next. [15:01] Student A     Sendou! [15:02] Student A     Tell me how to beat Kourin! [15:05] Student C     Tell me, too! [15:07] Aichi     Um... [15:08] Kourin     Next! [15:09] Shingo     Why you... [15:11] Shingo     How dare you act so familiar     with my idol, even talking to her?! [15:17] Naoki     Hey! [15:18] Naoki     You in the glasses! [15:20] Naoki     What's all this fuss about? [15:22] Shingo     It's an initiation test for the Cardfight Club. [15:27] Naoki     A test? [15:28] Shingo     Yes. Apparently you can't join     unless you win a Cardfight. [15:33] Shingo     Are you interested? [15:34] Naoki     Not really. [15:43] Aichi     Ms. Tatsunagi, isn't this a little too strict? [15:46] Kourin     You mean the initiation test? [15:48] Aichi     I watched the Ultra-rare exhibition match [15:51] Aichi     at the Asia Circuit opening ceremony. [15:55] Aichi     Your fight wasn't just for show. [15:59] Aichi     I sensed true strength in you. [16:02] Aichi     If you fight that seriously, [16:04] Aichi     I don't think anyone will be able to pass. [16:07] Kourin     We don't need members who     only want to join because I'm an idol. [16:09] Aichi     But... [16:10] Kourin     If they don't even have     the ability to defeat me, [16:14] Kourin     I don't consider them fit to be on the     same team as you, the Asia Circuit champion. [16:19] Aichi     But that's just... [16:20] Kourin     Listen to me. [16:23] Kourin     If your desire for new members means     that you're willing to have shoddy fights, [16:26] Kourin     then I'll quit the club, immediately. [16:29] Aichi     Uh... [16:29] Kourin     Furthermore... [16:31] Kourin     I don't like you calling me that. [16:33] Aichi     Huh? [16:34] Kourin     Would you call me by my given name from now on? [16:37] Aichi     Oh! Certainly, Kourin! [16:41] Kourin     Thank you. [16:46] Kotomi     Hey, did you hear, Misaki and Akari?! [16:50] Kotomi     An idol transferred to our school! [16:52] Akari     I know! [16:53] Akari     The Ultra-rare girl, right? [16:55] Akari     She was in a commercial for some card game. [16:57] Kotomi     I heard there's a boy trying to form [17:01] Kotomi     a new card game club     so he can get close to Kourin! [17:05] Akari     Now that you mention it, I did see him. [17:08] Akari     He was handing out fliers     in front of the school. [17:10] Misaki     Wh-Why?! [17:12] Misaki     Why would people assume that     Aichi's forming his club just for an idol?! [17:17] Kotomi     Hey, Misaki... [17:19] Kotomi     Do you know something about it? [17:22] Misaki     Uh, no, I don't! [17:25] The Two     Hold on, Misaki! [17:30] Misaki     I'm done cleaning! [17:32] Shin     Thank you. [17:34] Naoki     Oh... [17:34] Shin     I'm sorry, but we're closed for-- [17:37] Shin     Oh! I remember you! [17:39] Naoki     Old man! Will you teach me Vanguard?! [17:43] Shin     Sure. [17:45] Shin     Let's start with this beginner's deck. [17:48] Naoki     Not like that! [17:49] Naoki     I've gotta get good enough     to beat the Asia champion! [17:53] Shin     The Asia champion? [17:56] Shin     Very well! [17:57] Shin     However, I have one condition. [18:00] Naoki     What condition? [18:02] Shin     Would you please call me     "Manager" instead of "old man"? [18:07] Naoki     It's a deal, Manager! [18:14] Kourin     Next. [18:15] Kourin     I attack your Vanguard. [18:18] Student B     I lost! [18:20] Student O     You're too strong! [18:21] Student A     Sendou, tell me how to beat Kourin! [18:25] Student C     Tell me, too! [18:27] Aichi     Um... [18:28] Aichi     This is a swift-attack style of deck, so... [18:31] Kourin     Hey, knock it off, Aichi Sendou! [18:34] Kourin     If you give them tips and send them back to me, [18:37] Kourin     I'll be here forever! [18:41] Aichi     Sorry! I thought it would be     a little more fun for them that way... [18:47] Shingo     Here's where I make my grand entrance and... [18:49] Naoki     Sendou! [18:50] Naoki     I wanna join the club, too! [18:53] Aichi     Ishida... [18:55] Student A     Ishida? [18:56] Student B     You're kidding! [18:57] Tanimoto     What are you talking about,     when you're the one who bullied Sendou? [19:01] Naoki     What?! [19:02] Tanimoto     I heard all about it. [19:03] Tanimoto     Back in elementary school,     you used to bully Sendou! [19:07] Naoki     The heck?! But I didn't do any-- [19:09] Tanimoto     Don't play dumb! [19:11] Tanimoto     One of the guys who got     expelled told me about it! [19:14] Tanimoto     He said you were part of it,     but you weaseled your way out! [19:18] Student     Huh?! [19:19] Student     That's awful! [19:20] Naoki     You... [19:21] Naoki     Don't talk baloney like that! [19:23] Tanimoto     There, see?! He's violent! [19:25] Student     What a creep... [19:27] Student     He's always been like this. [19:29] Student     Don't be scarier than your face, man. [19:31] Student Q     I bet you're the one who trashed     his bulletin board flier, too. [19:37] Naoki     What the heck?! [19:38] Naoki     These jerks don't know a thing about me! [19:41] Naoki     They just take one look at me and judge me! [19:45] Naoki     Whether I trashed that flier or not, [19:48] Naoki     it ain't your business! [19:52] Aichi     Ishida... [19:54] Aichi     It wasn't you. [19:56] Aichi     You're not the one who tore up that flier. [19:59] Aichi     There's no reason for you     to hurt your own reputation here! [20:02] Tanimoto     What's up with you, Sendou? [20:04] Tanimoto     Do you know who trashed that flier? [20:08] Aichi     I don't, and I don't even want to know. [20:11] Aichi     But... [20:12] Naoki     You're gonna put up all of them? [20:14] Naoki     Good luck with that. [20:16] Aichi     But... [20:17] Aichi     I do know that Ishida didn't do it! [20:22] Aichi     So you're welcome to challenge us! [20:25] Aichi     To take the test! [20:30] Naoki     Aw, man... [20:32] Naoki     You're always the timid one, [20:34] Naoki     but here you are,     laying your cards on the table... [20:38] Naoki     Sounds fun. [20:39] Naoki     You've caught my interest! [20:41] Naoki     Hey! [20:43] Naoki     I wanna join this club! [20:44] Naoki     Fight me! [20:46] Kourin     Fine. [20:48] Kourin     You're the first challenger     who's brought his own deck. [20:52] Kourin     I'll play you. [20:54] Naoki     All right! [20:55] Student     He knows how to play that card game? [20:59] Kourin     I don't know what happened     between you and Aichi in the past, [21:03] Kourin     but I'm not going easy on you. [21:04] Naoki     Relax, Ms. Idol... [21:07] Naoki     There ain't no past between us. [21:10] Naoki     That's right. I never did anything. [21:14] Naoki     Even when they were picking on Sendou... [21:16] Naoki     ...I did... [21:18] Naoki     ...nothing at all. [21:20] Naoki     I did nothing, which meant... [21:22] Naoki     ...I also closed my eyes to the fact that     I shared the blame for him getting bullied. [21:28] Naoki     So I'm gonna stop doing nothing! [21:32] Naoki     Here I come! [21:36] The Two     Stand up, Vanguard! [23:10] Naoki     Hey, I'm Naoki Ishida! [23:12] Naoki     I told 'em I wanted to join the Cardfight Club. [23:14] Naoki     With the deck that old man     lent me, I'm sure to win! [23:18] Aichi     Thank you, Ishida.

[23:35] Aichi     Bog? SIGN    Image 29      New Allies [23:35] Naoki     Sorry, I've changed my mind about joining. [23:37] Aichi     Wait, Ishida!
