[00:01] Miwa
    All right!
[00:03] Miwa
    Morikawa, this shop's self-declared
    strongest fighter, lost to Kai
[00:07] Miwa
    Then Kai lost to Aichi, who then lost to me...
[00:11] Miwa
    Guess that means...
[00:13] Miwa
    I'm the strongest fighter at Card Capital!
[00:16] Miwa
    Aw yeah!
[00:18] Miwa
    How'd ya like that?!
[00:25] Shin
    This is my shop. Is there something
    I can help you with, young lady?
[00:29] Emi
    N-No, I don't need any help...
[00:36] Emi
    R-Really, I'm not...
[00:36] Misaki
    Welcome.
[00:37] Emi
    Um, I'm not a customer...
[00:40] Emi
    Um... Um, er, uh...
[00:42] Emi
    Um... uh...
[00:48] Emi
    How's it going, Aichi?
[00:51] Miwa
    Aichi?
[00:58] Aichi
    Vanguard.
[00:59] Aichi
    It's a card game in which you yourself
    become the vanguard and fight!
[01:03] Kai
    Imagine it!
    Imagination will become your strength!
SIGN    Image 3 Who's the Strongest Cardfighter!!
[02:47] All
    Little sister?!
[02:49] Emi
    I'm Emi Sendou.
[02:51] Emi
    Thank you for letting
    my big brother Aichi hang out with you.
[02:55] Miwa
    Sure, no biggie...
[02:57] Shin
    She's got a good head on her shoulders.
[02:59] Misaki
    But why were you peeping through the window?
[03:01] Emi
    Th-That's because...
[03:05] Aichi
    See you later!
[03:07] Emi
    Aichi's been acting weird lately.
[03:10] Mom
    Weird? How so?
[03:12] Emi
    He's been staying out late!
    And he's in an oddly good mood.
[03:16] Mom
    There's nothing wrong with that, is there?
[03:18] Mom
    You don't need to worry about him.
[03:21] Emi
    I'm not so sure...
[03:23] Miwa
    I get it.
[03:25] Miwa
    Naughty boy, making your little sister worry...
[03:29] Aichi
    Sorry.
[03:30] Emi
    But now it makes sense.
[03:32] Emi
    Aichi changed...
[03:35] Emi
    ...after he starting coming to this shop, right?
[03:40] Miwa
    So then!
[03:42] Miwa
    I'm this shop's strongest--
[03:44] Kamui
    Who's this shop's strongest fighter?!
[03:47] The Two
    Huh...?
[03:51] Kamui
    I, Kamui Katsuragi, have come to
    challenge this shop's strongest fighter!
[03:56] Kamui
    Wh-What're you doing?!
[03:59] Misaki
    You're bothering the other customers.
[04:01] Misaki
    If you're going to be noisy, you can't come in.
[04:04] Kamui
    Wait...
[04:05] Kamui
    I'm sorry!
[04:07] Misaki
    All right.
[04:08] Kamui
    Please tell me which fighter
    is the strongest at this shop.
[04:11] Misaki
    Why?
[04:13] Kamui
    I have to beat the strongest fighter
    so that I'll be stronger than anyone else!
[04:23] Misaki
    That one, I guess.
[04:34] Kamui
    That b-b-beautiful girl is the strongest?!
[04:39] Miwa
    Of course not!
[04:40] Miwa
    This shop's strongest fighter
    is none other than me, Taishi Miwa!
[04:45] Kai
    But you usually lose to me.
[04:47] Kai
    Yeah, well you lost to Aichi before!
[04:50] Emi
    Huh?
[04:51] Emi
    Aichi, you beat that tough-looking guy?!
[04:54] Aichi
    But then Miwa beat me.
[05:02] Kamui
    The heck does that mean?!
[05:07] Kamui
    I guess they're the strongest group...?
[05:10] Kamui
    Then I'm gonna defeat all you guys!
[05:14] Miwa
    Cheeky little brat. I'll beat you easily.
[05:22] Miwa
    I lost...
[05:27] Miwa
    Did I make some mistake?
[05:28] Kai
    No. He's just a strong player.
[05:31] Miwa
    Really?
[05:33] Kai
    Stronger than you, anyway.
[05:35] Miwa
    Say what?!
[05:36] Miwa
    Fine, you try fighting him!
[05:38] Kai
    Aichi.
[05:40] Aichi
    Huh? Me?!
[05:42] Miwa
    What are you talking about?!
[05:44] Miwa
    Aichi lost to me, remember?!
[05:46] Kai
    Go on, Aichi.
[05:47] Kai
    You beat me before.
    Remember what you imagined then.
[05:52] Aichi
    O-Okay...
[05:53] Emi
    Then Aichi really did beat him...
[06:01] Kamui
    What? You're up next?
[06:06] Kamui
    He wants to be the Final Boss, huh?
[06:09] Kamui
    I'll get this over with,
    then drag 'im out to fight!
[06:18] Aichi
    N-Nice to meet you. I'm Aichi Sendou.
[06:22] Kamui
    I'm the Great Kamui Katsuragi.
[06:25] Emi
    Good luck, Aichi!
[06:26] Kamui
    Wha...?!
[06:28] Kamui
    That beautiful girl...
[06:29] Kamui
    ...is this guy's girlfriend?!
[06:33] Kamui
    I'm gonna cream this creep!
[06:35] Kamui
    Let's go!
[06:37] Aichi
    O-Okay!
[06:40] The Two
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[06:47] Aichi
    I ride Grime.
[06:53] Kamui
    The Great Kamui rides Battleraizer!
[07:02] Aichi
    A r-robot?!
[07:05] Kamui
    Huh, so your clan's Royal Paladin?
[07:09] Emi
    Clan?
[07:10] Shin
    I'll explain clans.
[07:12] Shin
    They're like organizations
    that the card units belong to.
[07:16] Aichi
    I ride...
[07:22] Aichi
    Knight Squire, Allen!
[07:26] Shin
    Aichi's clan, Royal Paladin,
[07:29] Shin
    is the military force of the
    hallowed nation of United Sanctuary.
[07:32] Shin
    It's noted for its steady offensive power.
[07:35] Kamui
    The Great Kamui rides!
[07:44] Kamui
    Raizer Custom!
[07:46] Kamui
    And then I call Jet Raizer and Raizer Custom!
[07:52] Shin
    Kamui's clan, Nova Grappler,
    employs every form of unarmed combat.
[07:56] Shin
    They attack relentlessly from the very start.
[07:58] Emi
    Uh... huh...
[08:01] Kamui
    Go, Jet Raizer!
[08:06] Aichi
    Margal!
[08:12] Kamui
    Now it's my turn!
[08:14] Kamui
    Let's roll!
[08:18] Kamui
    How'd ya like my power?!
[08:21] Emi
    Now Aichi has 1 damage...
[08:23] Emi
    What's going to happen to him?!
[08:26] Miwa
    Nothing's gonna happen yet.
[08:28] Miwa
    However...
[08:30] Emi
    However?
[08:31] Miwa
    If you get 6 damage, you lose.
[08:35] Miwa
    For Aichi, that's 5 more damage.
[08:40] Emi
    Hang in there, Aichi!
[08:56] Aichi
    Stand up, my avatar!
[09:03] Aichi
    Blaster Blade!
[09:05] Kamui
    Blaster Blade?!
[09:07] Kamui
    You've got a rare card like that?!
[09:10] Aichi
    Ability Blast!
[09:14] Aichi
    Burst Buster!
[09:19] Aichi
    Knight of Silence, Gallatin!
[09:21] Aichi
    Wingal!
[09:25] Aichi
    Follow me!
[09:35] Emi
    His opponent has 2 damage!
[09:40] Kamui
    It's the Great Kamui's turn!
[09:41] Kamui
    I ride!
[09:46] Kamui
    Hi-powered Raizer Custom!
[09:50] Kamui
    And then I call Hi-powered Raizer Custom!
[09:56] Shin
    The skill of the Hi-powered
    Raizer Custom he called
[09:59] Shin
    let him call Battleraizer too.
[10:03] Kamui
    I'm counting on ya!
[10:13] Aichi
    Thank you, Gallatin.
[10:14] Gallatin
    No problem.
[10:17] Miwa
    He pulled through with an intercept.
[10:20] Emi
    An intercept?
[10:21] Miwa
    Yeah. An intercept is...
[10:23] Shin
    An intercept is...
[10:26] Shin
    ...a skill that grade 2 units possess.
[10:29] Shin
    They can switch from being rear-guards
    to guardians in order to protect other units.
[10:34] Emi
    I see...
[10:36] Shin
    Normally, you can only call
    guardians from your hand,
[10:39] Shin
    but what's effective about
    having them on the board
[10:42] Shin
    is that they provide both offensive and
    defensive strength simultaneously...
[10:45] Emi
    This is kind of hard to follow...
[10:47] Kamui
    I'm not done yet!
[10:55] Kamui
    Hi-powered Raizer Custom is so cool!
[11:00] Emi
    Aichi has 2 damage!
[11:02] Miwa
    Uh-oh...
[11:04] Miwa
    Maybe it was just a fluke
    when he beat Kai, Manager.
[11:08] Emi
    A fluke?
[11:09] Shin
    I don't know...
[11:11] Kai
    That's not the way I see it.
[11:21] Aichi
    Here I go, Kamui!
[11:24] Kamui
    You seem different now...
[11:27] Aichi
    I ride this unit!
[11:36] Aichi
    Come to me now,
[11:37] Aichi
    leader of light!
[11:39] Aichi
    Prince of Royal Paladins!
[11:42] Aichi
    Alfred Early!
[11:47] Aichi
    Imaginary Gift!
[11:50] Aichi
    Force!
[11:50] Emi
    Imaginary Gift?
[12:12] Shin
    It's the power given to your Vanguard
    by your comrades when you ride a grade 3.
[12:17] Shin
    That's called an Imaginary Gift.
[12:19] Miwa
    Alfred Early gets +10,000 power!
[12:22] Emi
    10,000!
[12:24] Kamui
    Shoot!
[12:25] Kai
    You see now?
[12:27] Kai
    Aichi's deck has more than just Blaster Blade.
[12:33] Aichi
    Alfred Early's skill activates!
[12:37] Emi
    Huh?
[12:38] Shim
    Alfred Early can call Blaster
    Blade from the Soul.
[12:43] Miwa
    On top of that, Blaster
    Blade gets +10,000 power!
[12:47] Emi
    Another 10,000?! That's great!
[12:49] Shin
    It sure is great!
[12:51] Emi
    Uh... uh-huh...
[12:52] Aichi
    And then I call!
[12:55] Aichi
    Stardrive Dragon!
[13:02] Aichi
    Margal!
[13:11] Aichi
    Here I come!
[13:20] Kamui
    Wall Boy!
[13:25] Aichi
    Twin drive!
[13:26] Aichi
    First check.
[13:29] Kamui
    Critical trigger?!
[13:31] Aichi
    I give the power to Blaster Blade,
[13:33] Aichi
    and the extra critical to my Vanguard!
[13:36] Aichi
    Second check!
[13:40] Kamui
    Damage check!
[13:41] Kamui
    First card...
[13:42] Kamui
    Draw trigger!
[13:44] Kamui
    All right! I can draw a card!
[13:47] Kamui
    I give the effect to my Vanguard!
[13:49] Kamui
    Second card...
[13:50] Kamui
    No trigger.
[13:51] Aichi
    Wingal! Us too!
[13:53] Wingal
    Yes, sir!
[13:55] Emi
    That's 5 damage!
[13:58] Kamui
    Twin Blader!
[14:02] Miwa
    Perfect guard, huh?
[14:04] Emi
    Perfect guard?
[14:05] Shin
    A perfect guard is...
[14:07] Emi
    Oh!
[14:08] Emi
    I bet that it means the ability to
    completely block your opponent's attack!
[14:12] Shin
    Th-That's right. You catch on quick.
    You have a promising future.
[14:17] Miwa
    Either way, that Kamui kid has 4 damage!
[14:20] Miwa
    I think Aichi's got the upper hand!
[14:23] Emi
    That's the way, Aichi!
[14:26] Kamui
    That was just a warm-up! I'm gonna show you
    the power of the Great Undefeated Kamui!
[14:31] Emi
    Undefeated?
[14:33] Kamui
    The Great Kamui rides!
[14:44] Kamui
    Perfect Raizer!
[14:47] Kamui
    Imaginary Gift! Accel!
[14:50] Emi
    His Imaginary Gift is different from Aichi's.
[14:57] Kamui
    Accel Circle!
[14:58] Kamui
    This is also a rear-guard circle!
[15:00] Miwa
    Yikes! There he goes!
[15:02] Miwa
    This is how he took me out!
[15:04] Emi
    Huh?
[15:05] Kamui
    I call!
[15:20] Miwa
    Since his front row rear-guards
    got one extra unit,
[15:23] Miwa
    he can now do four attacks!
[15:25] Emi
    Four attacks?!
[15:26] Kamui
    Asura Kaiser!
[15:33] Emi
    Now he's got 3 damage!
[15:40] Aichi
    Thank you, Blaster Blade.
[15:43] Blaster
    Yes, my Vanguard.
[15:45] Kamui
    You struggle in vain!
[15:48] Aichi
    Gallatin!
[15:51] Kamui
    I told ya!
[15:52] Kamui
    There's no point in resisting!
[15:55] Emi
    This'll be the fourth and final attack!
[15:58] Miwa
    Actually...
[16:05] Kamui
    Twin drive!
[16:07] Kamui
    First check!
[16:08] Kamui
    Front trigger!
[16:10] Kamui
    With this, all my front row
    units get +10,000 power!
[16:16] Kamui
    Second check!
[16:18] Kamui
    Another front trigger!
[16:20] Kamui
    That's another +10,000 power!
[16:28] Miwa
    That makes 4 damage!
[16:29] Emi
    Still, now it's Aichi's turn!
[16:31] Miwa
    No, he can still make two attacks!
[16:34] Emi
    But why?!
[16:36] Shin
    When Perfect Raizer attacks,
[16:38] Shin
    if he pays the cost,
    he can stand two rear-guards.
[16:45] Emi
    That was paying the cost...?
[16:48] Kamui
    It's all over!
[16:49] Emi
    He's a goner!
[16:51] Kai
    I'm not so sure.
[16:52] Emi
    Huh?
[16:53] Kai
    Aichi doesn't think so.
[16:57] Emi
    This isn't the Aichi I know...
[17:00] Kamui
    Asura Kaiser!
[17:01] Kamui
    One more time!
[17:05] Misaki
    5 damage!
[17:06] Shin
    Misaki?
SIGN    Sub Manager
[17:13] Kamui
    Here's where...
[17:15] Kamui
    ...I finish you off!
[17:19] Aichi
    Guard!
[17:24] Emi
    Huh?
[17:28] Aichi
    Thank you, Epona and Epona.
[17:31] Kamui
    I-It can't be!
[17:33] Kamui
    My sixth attack didn't finish him off?!
[17:38] Aichi
    It's my turn!
[17:40] Aichi
    Here I go, Kamui!
[17:42] Kamui
    F-Fine, do your worst!
[17:46] Kai
    Looks like he never imagined
    there would be a next turn.
[17:49] Kai
    But Aichi did imagine it happening.
[17:54] Aichi
    Call!
[17:59] Aichi
    Wingal, lend me your power!
[18:01] Wingal
    Aye aye, sir!
[18:03] Aichi
    Twin drive!
[18:04] Aichi
    First check!
[18:09] Aichi
    Second check!
[18:17] Kamui
    A critical trigger?!
[18:36] Kamui
    Damage check!
[18:39] Misaki
    That makes 5 damage.
[18:42] Kamui
    This time for sure!
[18:58] Kamui
    The Great Kamui... has lost.
[19:03] Aichi
    Th-Thank you for the game.
[19:10] Miwa
    It's like when he played against you.
[19:12] Miwa
    Aichi drew a trigger right when he needed it.
[19:16] Kai
    Still think it was a fluke?
[19:18] Miwa
    You think it wasn't?
[19:20] Kai
    Ever since he got Blaster Blade,
[19:23] Kai
    because he never fought,
[19:25] Kai
    he was putting together a deck
    with only his imagination to guide him.
[19:29] Kai
    That deck must be imbued
    with the full range of his emotions.
[19:33] Kai
    It won't betray those feelings.
[19:37] Kai
    And the more he fights, the more
    his imagination continues to evolve.
[19:42] Kai
    That's how he beat Kamui and me.
[19:46] Miwa
    I guess that makes sense...
[19:49] Kamui
    I'd been undefeated
    since I first started using this deck...
[19:54] Kamui
    Just what are you, Aichi Sendou?!
[19:57] Emi
    You did it, Aichi!
[19:59] Aichi
    That hurt, Emi!
[20:01] Shin
    Good thing you didn't embarrass yourself
    in front of your little sister.
[20:05] Kamui
    Little sister?
[20:08] Kamui
    You're her big brother?!
[20:12] Kamui
    All right, that settles it!
[20:14] Kamui
    As of this moment,
    you're my goal, big brother Aichi!
[20:18] Aichi
    What?!
[20:19] Kamui
    I'm counting on ya, Brother Aichi!
[20:22] Emi
    Good for you, Aichi!
[20:27] Aichi
    B-But I'm still just a beginner...
[20:31] Miwa
    That's right! If you want a goal,
    aim for me, the guy who beat Aichi!
[20:36] Kamui
    What're you talking about?!
    I already beat you!
[20:42] Kamui
    Not again!
[20:47] Shin
    Are you interested now too, Misaki?
[20:49] Misaki
    Not at all!
[20:56] Emi
    Please teach me how to play Vanguard, too!
[21:02] Kamui
    I-If you like, the Great...
    uh... I mean, I could...
[21:07] Miwa
    If you need a teacher, I'm your man!
[21:12] Shin
    Aren't you in grade school, Kamui?
[21:14] Kamui
    Y-Yes.
[21:16] Shin
    A fellow grade schooler
    should be the one to teach her!
[21:23] Emi
    Thank you!
[21:28] Kamui
    I guess I could...
[21:31] Kamui
    Come on!
[21:32] Kamui
    Let's sit over here, Miss Emi!
[21:35] Kamui
    It's easy to learn as we fight.
[23:10] Kamui
    You see, Miss Emi, Vanguard is a card game
    where each player has a deck of 50 cards...
[23:17] Sub Manager
    Meow...
[23:17] Emi
    How cute!
[23:19] Emi
    What's the kitty's name?
[23:21] Misaki
    His name is "Sub Manager,"
[23:23] Misaki
    but he'll only answer to "Manager."
[23:26] Emi
    Impressive!
[23:27] Misaki
    But the manager here isn't that impressive.
[23:30] Shin
    I heard that, Misaki.
[23:32] Sub Manager
    Meow!
[23:33] Emi
    Adorable!
[23:34] Kamui
    U-Um, Miss Emi, about Vanguard...
