[00:01] MC
    With Team Capital at two wins
    and Team Dragon's Vanity at one win,
[00:05] MC
    we head into the fourth match
    of the Esu Cup finals!
[00:09] MC
    It's Shinemon Nitta versus international
    Vanguard high school champion Yuichirou Kanzaki!
[00:19] MC
    I recall hearing that Nitta is your disciple?
[00:23] Oyama
    That kid's a spirited fighter.
[00:26] Rive
    What're you doing here?!
[00:28] Kanzaki
    You!
[00:30] Kanzaki
    So you're stronger than S Class, eh?
[00:33] Shin
    I only defeated them once.
[00:37] Kanzaki
    Unless you're strong, you have
    no business being a Vanguard fighter!
[00:49] Kanzaki
    Strength is power! Strength is justice!
[00:57] Kanzaki
    Strength is absolute!
[01:03] Kanzaki
    Don't make me sad!
[01:09] MC
    It's now the first turn! Nitta attacks!
[01:13] Shin
    I'll finish you off with
    Phosphoros of Auspicious Light!
[01:16] Kanzaki
    Too wimpy!
[01:23] MC
    Kanzaki rode out the attack
    by guarding with four cards!
[01:34] MC
    A-Again?
[01:45] Kanzaki
    Weak, weak, weak!
[01:48] Kanzaki
    Too weak!
[01:50] Kanzaki
    You're weaker than I imagined!
[01:54] Kanzaki
    That's why I'll end this now!
[01:57] Kanzaki
    Claret Sword attacks!
[02:02] Shin
    No guard...
[02:04] MC
    Nitta will do a fateful damage check!
[02:14] Shin
    No trigger...
[02:17] MC
    Nitta has 6 damage!
[02:20] MC
    That made a well-earned victory
    for Kanzaki of Team Dragon's Vanity!
[02:26] MC
    Now both teams are even
    with two wins and two losses!
[02:30] Kanzaki
    Weakness is a sin!
[02:32] Kanzaki
    Begone, weakling!
[02:35] Oyama
    He's strong, but he rubs me the wrong way.
[02:41] Kanzaki
    Rive Shindou, the Board Grappler!
[02:44] Kanzaki
    You're my next opponent, right?!
[02:51] Rive
    Well, I guess so.
[02:56] MC
    And now we'll have a one-hour
    intermission before the fifth match.
[03:05] Shin
    The strength of imagination!
[03:08] Shin
    That's the strength of Vanguard!
[03:13] Shin
    Don't get dominated by
    your opponent's imagination!
[03:16] Shin
    Rewrite that imagination!

[04:58] Nanami
    Are you sure you don't mind
    sharing with us, too?
[05:00] Mikuru
    That's why I made them all!
[05:04] Mikuru
    I can't tell them I made too many again...
[05:08] Tatsuya
    Shinemon and Mark sure have
    been in the restroom a long while.
[05:12] Tonori
    I-I can't hold back, yo!
[05:15] Mikuru
    Well, go ahead!
[05:17] Rive
    I have a bad feeling...
[05:19] The Two
    Thanks!
[05:22] The Two
    W-Water!
[05:25] Mikuru
    Don't tell me...
[05:27] Mikuru
    I'll try one!
[05:31] Mikuru
    Water! I need water!
[05:33] Rive
    Not only did she make too many,
    she overloaded them with salt.
[05:37] Mikuru
    Yeah!
[05:39] Mikuru
    How did you know I made too many?!
[05:41] Rive
    It was obvious!
[05:44] Mark
    Verily, are you certain about this?
[05:47] Shin
    Yeah.
[05:49] Rive
    What's up?
[05:51] Mark
    Shinemon wishes for you to fight
    in the next match, Lord Rive.
[06:03] Rive
    Leave it to me.
[06:07] Shin
    Thank you...
[06:22] Rive
    You stay put.
[06:24] Mikuru
    Bro! Why isn't Shinemon
    fighting in the next match?!
[06:28] Tatsuya
    According to the rules, it's fine for
    a player who lost a match to do another one.
[06:35] Rive
    The way Shinemon is now,
    he wouldn't be able to beat Kanzaki.
[06:42] Mikuru
    But why?! I'm sure Shinemon
    could defeat him this time!
[06:46] Rive
    That was Shinemon's first fight
    against somebody like Kanzaki.
[06:51] Tatsuya
    What do you mean?
[06:53] Rive
    Kanzaki is obsessed with strength.
[06:57] Rive
    He and Shinemon are like polar opposites.
[07:02] Kid
    I ride!
[07:03] Kid
    Um... Allen attacks!
[07:05] Kid
    My turn's over.
[07:08] Kid A
    Stand and draw!
[07:09] Kid A
    I ride Cosmo Beak!
[07:12] Kid A
    With its skill, I draw one card!
[07:15] Shin
    Where'd you come from, Mark?
[07:17] Mark
    Refer to me as Ninja Master
    when I am in this form.
[07:21] Kids
    No guard!
[07:24] Kids
    Heal trigger!
[07:26] Kid
    I ride!
[07:27] Kid A
    All right! Here I come!
[07:28] Kid A
    I attack your Vanguard!
[07:29] Shin
    Why did I lose to Kanzaki?
[07:36] Mark
    Shall we fight here as well?
[07:41] Mark
    Verily, even Sub Manager encourages you to.
[07:45] Shin
    So I see. In that case...
[07:50] Rive
    It's as if Shinemon was born to be
    a man who purely enjoys Vanguard.
[07:57] Nanami
    That makes sense.
[07:58] Mikuru
    You understood that?
[07:59] Nanami
    Yeah, I doubt he's interested
    in strength and stuff like that.
[08:05] Mikuru
    Then you do understand.
[08:07] Rive
    So against Kanzaki, that kind of guy he'd
    never faced before, he instinctively froze up.
[08:14] Tatsuya
    Fascinating...
[08:16] Mikuru
    He became a Scared Cinnamon.
[08:19] Tonori
    But if he can overcome that...
[08:23] Rive
    The thing is, Shinemon himself doesn't
    realize he's harboring that image of Kanzaki.
[08:30] Rive
    So just telling him that wouldn't work.
[08:33] Mikuru
    Then, even if he did the next one...
[08:36] Rive
    If he's the same Shinemon
    as the previous match...
[08:43] Nanami
    Hey, don't interrupt!
[08:47] Tonori
    Speak for yourself.
[08:53] Mikuru
    It's fine! You don't have to eat them!
[08:57] Mikuru
    Let's go somewhere for lunch!
[08:59] Shin
    Parthenos attacks!

    Ninja Art, Mortal-Coil Jutsu!
[09:05] Mark
    Verily, you shall not get by me that easily!
[09:09] Shin
    What is this feeling...?
[09:11] Shin
    It's completely different
    from when I played against Kanzaki.
[09:15] Mark
    Stand and draw!
[09:17] Mark

    and discard two others from your hand.
[09:31] Shin
    Drat!
[09:32] Shin
    When I play against Mark,
    it's fun even if I get into a tough spot.
[09:37] Shin
    No, it's not just when I play Mark.
[09:40] Shin
    Vanguard is fun, no matter who I'm fighting.
[09:45] Shin
    Even when I lost to Esuka...
[09:50] Shin
    And yet...
[09:51] Mark
    Shinemon?
[09:53] Boy A
    You gonna do something?
[09:56] Shin
    Sorry about that.
[09:58] Shin
    Let's continue.
[09:59] Mark
    Verily, here I go!
[10:04] Mark
    Verily, I lost.
[10:07] Boy A
    That was great!
[10:08] Kid
    So exciting!
[10:09] Kid
    Let's us fight again too!
[10:11] Girl
    Yeah, let's do it!
[10:14] Shin
    Vanguard really is fun.

    The fifth match will begin momentarily.
[10:49] MC
    Participating fighters,
    please proceed to the fight stage.
[11:03] Shin
    Master...
[11:06] Shin
    Would you mind if I did the next match?
[11:12] Rive
    Do you have some kind of plan?
[11:17] Shin
    I promised not to run away anymore.
[11:21] Shin
    I'd be a liar if I ran now.
[11:25] Rive
    Can you beat Kanzaki?
[11:30] Mark
    Verily, if you can fight as you
    normally do, I foresee no problems.
[11:38] Rive
    Then go ahead!
[11:41] Shin
    Great!
[11:44] Shin
    Thank you, Master!
[11:47] Mark
    Shinemon.
[11:49] Mark
    Enjoy yourself to the utmost... verily.
[11:53] Shin
    I will!
[11:55] Kanzaki
    Rive Shindou! What is the meaning of this?!
[11:59] Oyama
    Don't ask me!
[12:04] Kanzaki
    Where did he disappear to?!
[12:07] Rive
    He's such a pain in the neck.
[12:11] Kid B
    It's Li'l Valkerion!
[12:16] Kanzaki
    I'm utterly devastated!
[12:21] Shin
    Enjoy myself, huh?
[12:24] Shin
    It looked like Mark had a great time
    fighting against that Oyama guy.
[12:30] Shin
    And even Master seemed to
    genuinely enjoy his fight with Ruga.
[12:37] Shin
    Meanwhile, I'm...
[12:40] Kanzaki
    Hey, weakling!
[12:43] Kanzaki
    Let's get started.
[12:44] Shin
    R-Right!
[12:46] The Two
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[13:02] MC
    It's the fateful fifth match, since the team
    that wins it will win the tournament!
[13:06] MC
    Kanzaki's onslaught continues!
[13:10] Kanzaki
    I attack Prometheus of Dancing Lights!
[13:13] Shin
    No guard!
[13:15] Shin
    Damage check!
[13:17] Shin
    Draw trigger!
[13:19] MC
    Kanzaki has 1 damage,
    while Nitta already has 4 damage!
[13:30] Prometheus
    Don't be afraid, my Vanguard!
[13:37] Shin
    I'm afraid?
[13:39] Kanzaki
    What are you doing?! It's your turn!
[13:44] Shin
    Stand and draw!

    We're with you!

    Me too!
[13:50] Diana
    Me too!
[13:52] Bare
    Me too!
[13:59] Rive
    His expression changed.
[14:02] Rive
    Rewrite that imagination, Shinemon.
[14:10] Rive
    I think you're able to understand...
[14:13] Rive
    ...what you should do!
[14:16] Shin
    I don't know why I was afraid.
[14:19] Shin
    What I do know is...
[14:20] Shin
    ...I should fight like I usually do!
[14:20] Mark
    You should fight like you usually do!

    that he called, he gets two Imaginary Gifts!

    Prometheus! Diana!

    Death Feather Eagle!
[15:23] MC
    As you'd expect of Kanzaki,
    he kept his damage at 3!
[15:27] MC
    And now it's his turn!
[15:29] Kanzaki
    "In Heaven and on Earth, 
    I alone am worthy!"
[15:33] Kanzaki
    True power, come to me!

    Claret Sword gets +30,000 power!
[16:01] MC
    With that, Claret Sword has 43,000 power!
[16:06] Kanzaki
    I knew you were weak!
[16:08] Kanzaki
    On this turn, all you can do is lose! 
    To the other skill of my Claret Sword!
[16:17] Kanzaki
    With my Claret Sword Dragon, if I bind
    seven grade 1 cards in the Drop Zone,
[16:25] Kanzaki
    I can attack once more
    in exchange for losing a drive!
[16:32] Tatsuya
    He's already got seven grade 1 cards there!
[16:36] Kanzaki
    Weakness is a sin!
[16:41] Kanzaki
    Show him how weak he is!
[16:52] Shin
    Thank you, Laurier!
[16:55] Laurier
    You look like you're having fun, my Vanguard!
[16:59] Shin
    It's thanks to all of you.
[17:03] Shin
    Vanguard is fun.
[17:07] Kanzaki
    Fun, you say?!
[17:08] Kanzaki
    It seems you don't understand
    the position that you're in!
[17:13] Kanzaki
    Claret Sword attacks your Vanguard!
[17:17] Shin
    No guard!
[17:27] Shin
    Damage check!
[17:30] MC
    No trigger!
[17:32] Tatsuya
    That makes 5 damage!
[17:34] Mikuru
    Shinemon!
[17:39] Nanami
    A heal trigger!
[17:41] Kanzaki
    Despite that narrow escape 
    from death, you're still weak!
[17:45] Kanzaki
    I bind seven grade 1 cards from the Drop Zone!
[17:50] Kanzaki
    I stand Claret Sword Dragon!
[17:54] Kanzaki
    And now I finish you off!
[17:55] MC
    That's a 61,000 power attack!
[17:58] MC
    It's all over for Nitta!
[18:00] Oyama
    I don't think so.
[18:05] Shin
    Guard!
[18:06] MC
    Nitta guarded with a batch of four cards,
    for a total guard of 63,000!
[18:12] Kanzaki
    No trigger!
[18:13] MC
    However, Kanzaki still has rear-guards!
[18:18] Kanzaki
    The final stroke!
[18:23] Shin
    Guard! Intercept!
[18:26] MC
    Nitta held on!
[18:28] MC
    Kanzaki's turn is over!
[18:33] Rive
    You can do this, Shinemon!

    Once more, I ride Astraios Dragon!

    I get an Imaginary Gift!

    The total guard is 73,000.
