[05:06] Aichi     Do a drive check! [05:07] Naoki     Oh yeah! That's right! [05:11] Shingo     What a rank beginner! [05:14] Naoki     All right! A draw trigger! [05:18] Aichi     Your attack was still blocked, though. [05:21] Kourin     I wish he could challenge me, [05:24] Kourin     but he's an absolute beginner. [05:26] Kourin     Stand and draw.

[06:57] Kourin     Go, Nemean Lion! [07:07] Student A     Isn't he in a pretty tough spot? [07:10] Student B     Besides, there's no way      Ishida could beat Kourin. [07:14] Student C     He should just give up. [07:21] Naoki     The heck with that! [07:23] Aichi     Calm down, Ishida. [07:25] Aichi     You haven't made any mistakes. [07:28] Naoki     Every last one of them's the same! [07:32] Naoki     They all spout boring lines! [07:36] Masaki     What's with you, Naoki? [07:39] Naoki     Whaddya mean? [07:42] Masaki     You're just lying around at home again. [07:44] Masaki     You haven't changed, even though     you're in high school now. [07:47] Masaki     Haven't you got anything     better to do, like a club activity? [07:50] Naoki     Hey, it's not like it matters what I do! [07:54] Masaki     Then, how about you try studying? [07:56] Masaki     If you go to a good university,     everyone will see you in a new light. [07:59] Naoki     Just 'cause you got into a first-rate college,      doesn't give you the right to preach at me. [08:03] Naoki     Jerk brother! [08:06] Masaki     At the rate you're going,     you'll wind up as a boring adult. [08:11] Masaki     Are you okay with that? [08:13] Naoki     Shaddup! [08:13] Naoki     People don't change that easily. [08:22] Naoki     But... [08:25] Naoki     ...I know one guy who did change. [08:28] Naoki     The Aichi Sendou I knew     was just one big target for bullies. [08:35] Naoki     But the Sendou who came back     to this academy for high school ain't. [08:41] Naoki     What changed Sendou might've been... [08:45] Naoki     No, it must've been... this game! [08:49] Naoki     So I'll try it, too! [08:51] Naoki     I ride!

[09:51] Naoki     I ain't done yet! [09:59] Naoki     ...I may be able to change my boring self! [10:03] Aichi     You're doing great, Ishida. [10:05] Aichi     You're holding your own in a Vanguard fight. [10:09] Kourin     He's better than I expected. [10:11] Kourin     Still... [10:13] Kourin     ...I can't afford to lose to a beginner. [10:27] Kourin     A comrade responds to the lion's roar! [10:35] Sagramore     Battlefield Tempest, Sagramore is here! [10:40] Sagramore     You called? [10:42] Kourin     Yeah.

[11:28] Kourin     My turn is over. [11:33] Shingo     Looks like he pulled through. [11:36] Misaki     But he's still backed against the wall. [11:40] Aichi     At this rate... [11:42] Aichi     Ishida might not survive Kourin's next turn... [11:46] Naoki     Stand and draw... [11:50] Naoki     Right now, my Vanguard's grade 2. [11:52] Naoki     I've gotta get to grade 3. [11:55] Naoki     But is this one really gonna work? [12:00] Naoki     I ain't got much faith in that old man... [12:07] Shin     Yes, good! [12:08] Shin     You've gotten the hang of it. [12:11] Naoki     Can I really beat the Asia champion now?! [12:15] Shin     Well, I can't exactly guarantee that... [12:18] Naoki     Quit yanking my chain, old man! [12:21] Naoki     There's somebody I've just gotta beat! [12:27] Naoki     If I can't win that fight, I'll... [12:36] Shin     Just a second. [12:39] Shin     Ta-daaa! [12:40] Shin     You'll be good to go with this in your deck! [12:43] Shin     This card is a secret weapon. [12:47] Naoki     This card's a secret weapon?     Even without some fancy skill? [12:54] Naoki     Still, right now, [12:57] Naoki     I've gotta bet everything on it! [13:00] Naoki     I'm gonna crush you! [13:02] Naoki     I ride! [13:15] Naoki     Great Composure Dragon!

[13:30] Misaki     From his opponent's point of view,     he just set down a very nasty unit. [13:34] Shingo     How could Naoki Ishida pull off that move?! [13:38] Kourin     You're a beginner, aren't you? [13:41] Kourin     Do you know the true worth of that unit? [13:46] Naoki     What? [13:48] Masaki     At the rate you're going,     you'll wind up as a boring adult. [13:53] Masaki     Are you okay with that? [13:54] Shin     This card is a secret weapon. [13:57] Aichi     I do know that Ishida didn't do it! [14:00] Aichi     So you're welcome to challenge us! [14:06] Naoki     Yeah, I know its worth. [14:08] Naoki     It's what's gonna     break me outta my boring life! [14:14] Naoki     I'm gonna take you down     with this secret weapon, [14:17] Naoki     and join the Cardfight Club! [14:21] Aichi     Ishida! [14:22] Naoki     Imaginary Gift! Accel! [14:28] Naoki     Recklessness Dragon goes to the Accel circle! [14:32] Naoki     Its skill activates! Counterblast! [14:37] Naoki     I bind Sagramore! [14:39] Sagramore     I'm sorry, Ezel! [14:41] Naoki     Great Composure Dragon's skill activates! [14:45] Aichi     Great Composure Dragon     doesn't have a flashy skill. [14:49] Aichi     But it gets a power-up for every empty     rear-guard circle in the opponent's front row. [14:55] Misaki     Its skill is simple, but strong. [14:58] Misaki     Pros like that unit. [15:09] Naoki     Recklessness Dragon! [15:11] Naoki     Send that Nemean Lion flyin'! [15:16] Naoki     Go! [15:17] Naoki     C'mere, Photon Bomber Wyvern! [15:22] Naoki     Lost Composure Breath! [15:27] Kourin     I can't block it! [15:32] Student A     Whoa, check out Ishida... [15:34] Student B     Is he gonna win? [15:36] Aichi     Keep at it, Ishida! [15:37] Naoki     Yeah! [15:41] Naoki     Thunderstorm Dragoon attacks,     boosted by Red River Dragoon! [15:45] Naoki     If it hits you, I win! [15:48] Kourin     I'm not about to let that happen! [15:50] Kourin     I guard with Dantegal! [15:53] Naoki     She blocked it! [15:55] Aichi     But that was a nice attack! [15:58] Kourin     Seriously?! [15:59] Kourin     It feels like I'm the one     standing between these two! [16:03] Kourin     Stand and draw! [16:06] Kourin     I won't let Great Composure walk all over me! [16:11] Kourin     Knight of Superior Skills, Beaumains! [16:14] Kourin     Sacred Guardian Beast, Nemean Lion! [16:18] Kourin     Gareth, to the front! [16:20] Gareth     Yes, milady! [16:24] Aichi     She's filled her front row rear-guard circles! [16:27] Misaki     She's not going to let     Great Composure Dragon power up. [16:35] Kourin     One blow will end this! [16:38] Kourin     Front trigger! [16:45] Shingo     That brings Naoki Ishida to 5 damage. [16:50] Gareth     Now! [16:52] Naoki     Zephyr Kid, Hayate! [16:55] Naoki     Lizard Soldier, Riki! [16:58] Beaumains     The final blow!

[17:36] Naoki     Riki's skill activates! [17:40] Naoki     The opponent's front row and back row switch! [17:44] Shingo     Her front row's opened up! [17:46] Naoki     Thunderstorm's skill activates! [17:48] Naoki     Counterblast to Wyvern! [17:51] Misaki     Now Great Composure will power up. [17:58] Naoki     Here we go! [18:05] Kourin     Halo Shield, Mark! [18:07] Kourin     Perfect guard! [18:09] Naoki     Drive check! [18:10] Naoki     I got a front trigger!

[18:39] Naoki     Huh? [18:43] Student     Seriously?! [18:44] Student A     Ishida won? [18:45] Student B     I don't believe it! [18:47] Student C     He's a beginner! [18:52] Aichi     You did it, Ishida. [18:53] Naoki     Aichi... [18:55] Naoki     I... [18:56] Aichi     That makes Ishida a member     of the Cardfight Club, right, Kourin? [19:02] Kourin     Yes. [19:03] Kourin     He won, fair and square. [19:06] Naoki     All right! [19:08] Aichi     Congratulations, Ishida! [19:10] Naoki     Thanks!

[20:35] Aichi     He played like a beginner,     but used advanced cards, [20:39] Aichi     which made it a little strange. [20:41] Shin     I guess I did meddle a bit too much... [20:45] Aichi     But it let the Cardfight Club     get one step closer to reality. [20:48] Aichi     Thank you very much! [20:50] Naoki     Hey, Aichi.
