[00:00] Naoki
    I attack your Vanguard!
[00:03] Morikawa
    Damage check.
[00:08] Izaki
    Morikawa lost!
[00:10] Inenaga
    Seriously?!
[00:13] Morikawa
    You sure you're a beginner?
[00:16] Naoki
    Yep. Ain't that right, Aichi?
[00:18] Aichi
    Yeah!
[00:20] Aichi
    But you've improved so much,
    that it's really hard to tell!
[00:27] Naoki
    Well, it's all thanks to my new finisher
    taking Great Composure's place.
[00:32] Naoki
    No offense to the old man...
[00:35] Shin
    I'd prefer that you call me
    "Manager" instead of "old man"...
[00:43] Shin
    In any case, Misaki is awfully late.
[00:49] Morikawa
    All right, once more!
[00:51] Naoki
    I was hoping you'd say that.
[00:54] Naoki
    It feels so weird...
[01:01] Naoki
    It's hard to believe I used to
    think every day was a drag...
[01:06] Naoki
    Now I'm always hyped about going to school!
[01:11] Naoki
    Something's definitely changed here,
[01:14] Naoki
    but it ain't any of these clowns.
[01:18] Naoki
    I'm the one who's changed!
[01:22] Naoki
    Mornin'.
[01:25] Aichi
    Good morning, Naoki!
[01:27] Kourin
    Morning, Naoki.
[01:29] Naoki
    I was only just wanting to help out Aichi,
[01:33] Naoki
    but once I got ahold of Vanguard,
[01:39] Naoki
    it changed my whole school life!
[01:44] Aichi
    I'm now a student at Miyaji Academy,
[01:47] Aichi
    and have decided to start a Cardfight Club.
[01:52] Aichi
    I've got to imagine it!
[01:55] Aichi
    I'm sure my imagination will take shape!
SIGN    Image 30 My Idol
[03:41] Lunch Lady
    Here you go.
[03:43] Girl A
    Thank you.
[03:44] Naoki
    Thanks to that new grade 3,
[03:47] Naoki
    my deck's totally upgraded!
[03:50] Kourin
    Huh...
[03:52] Kourin
    So you finally have a deck
    that wasn't all built by someone else.
[03:56] Kourin
    Hopefully not for the worse...
[03:57] Naoki
    What was that?!
[03:59] Aichi
    Now, now...
[04:12] Naoki
    Aichi, what's wrong?
[04:14] Aichi
    I had the feeling we were being watched...
[04:25] Naoki
    Ain't anybody suspicious out there.
[04:27] Aichi
    Oh...
[04:28] Aichi
    Maybe I only imagined it.
[04:31] Naoki
    But ain't stalkers just
    part of the territory for idols?
[04:35] Kourin
    You don't have to make it sound creepy.
[04:37] Boy A
    U-Um, Ms. Kourin...
[04:39] Boy A
    I'd like to join the Cardfight Club.
[04:43] Boy A
    Would you fight me?
[04:45] Kourin
    S-Sure...
[04:47] Naoki
    A new prospective member, huh?
[04:53] Naoki
    At last!
[04:54] Naoki
    For your initiation, you're gonna fight me!
[04:57] Boy A
    But I'd prefer to fight Kourin, if possible...
[05:01] Naoki
    I ain't leaving this to Kourin!
[05:03] Naoki
    From now on, I'm the gatekeeper!
[05:06] Boy A
    Oh no...
[05:10] Boy A
    Damage check.
[05:15] Boy A
    I lost.
[05:19] Naoki
    There, you see that?! I won!
[05:30] Boy A
    Sorry I bothered you!
[05:34] Shingo
    This doesn't bode well.
[05:36] Shingo
    The Cardfight Club is likely to turn into
    an evil organization, all because of Ishida!
[05:41] Shingo
    And just when my idol
    was trying to get it established!
[05:46] Naoki
    What's with you two?
[05:48] Aichi
    You shouldn't frighten
    your opponent during a fight.
[05:52] Kourin
    That's right.
[05:53] Kourin
    Your face is scary enough as it is.
[05:57] Naoki
    D-Did you just say my face's scary?
[06:05] Naoki
    Aichi...
[06:07] Naoki
    Don't tell me you agree with her!
[06:12] Aichi
    Um...
[06:14] Aichi
    I wouldn't say that "scary"
    is the word I'd use for it...
[06:22] Aichi
    Except in my head, maybe...
[06:26] Naoki
    Okay.
[06:27] Naoki
    There, ya see?! I ain't that scary--
[06:34] Naoki
    Ow, ow, ow!
[06:36] Naoki
    What the...?!
[06:40] Shingo
    I won't allow you to be rude to my idol!
[06:45] Shingo
    I rushed in unthinkingly...
[06:48] Naoki
    Your "idol"?!
[06:54] Naoki
    Hey!
[06:56] Naoki
    You in the glasses!
[06:58] Naoki
    I saw you spying on 'em before!
[07:01] Naoki
    So you're Kourin's stalker?!
[07:05] Aichi
    Oh, aren't you in our class?
[07:09] Aichi
    Shingo Komoi?
[07:10] Kourin
    Now that you mention it...
[07:13] Shingo
    Yes! That's right! I'm Shingo Komoi!
[07:16] Shingo
    I'm honored that you recognized me!
[07:20] Shingo
    Oh no!
[07:22] Kourin
    You play Vanguard?
[07:24] Shingo
    Yes, of course!
[07:27] Kourin
    A secret Vanguard fighter...
[07:29] Aichi
    So it seems.
[07:31] Shingo
    My idol is trying to
    establish the Cardfight Club,
[07:35] Shingo
    but Mad Dog Ishida...
[07:37] Shingo
    I won't tolerate a member as barbaric as you!
[07:41] Naoki
    And who the heck are you,
[07:43] Naoki
    callin' me a "mad dog" and "barbaric"?!
[07:47] Kourin
    So you wish to join the club?
[07:49] Shingo
    Y-Yes!
[07:50] Naoki
    But are you actually any good at Vanguard?
[07:54] Naoki
    Can you beat me?!
[07:58] Shingo
    A beginner who only started playing yesterday
[08:00] Shingo
    doesn't stand a chance against me.
[08:04] Naoki
    Sounds like a good, old-fashioned
    Vanguard beatdown oughta set you straight.
[08:10] Shingo
    And you'll be the one to deliver that?
    I believe I'll be the one to show you instead.
[08:19] Naoki
    He's gonna be crying real soon!
[08:23] Shingo
    I'll get to show my idol
    my cool fighting techniques!
[08:33] The Two
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[08:49] Shingo
    For you, from Stealth Dragon, Magatsu Gale!
[08:54] Shingo
    Stealth Beast, Chigasumi
     and Stealth Dragon, Magatsu Breath!
[08:56] Shingo
    I'm depending on you both!
[09:00] Naoki
    What the...?!
[09:08] Aichi
    Now Naoki has 2 damage.
[09:10] Kourin
    The other boy also has 2 damage.
[09:12] Kourin
    They're tied.
[09:17] Shingo
    I can read you like an open book!
[09:22] Shingo
    Stealth Dragon Ninja Art! Vanishing Jutsu!
[09:27] Naoki
    What?!
[09:28] Shingo
    Magatsu Breath's skill!
[09:30] Shingo
    This prevents your Bind specialty
    from working on me!
[09:36] Kourin
    Nubatama is a clan that
    specializes in ninja arts and tricky moves.
[09:41] Kourin
    He obviously has a
    sound understanding of those traits.
[09:45] Aichi
    Yes.
[09:46] Naoki
    I ride Recklessness Dragon!
[09:50] Naoki
    C'mere, Thunderstorm Dragoon!
[09:53] Naoki
    Target his Vanguard!
[09:56] Naoki
    Keep at it, Photon Bomber Wyvern!
[10:09] Thunderstorm
    Take this!
[10:15] Naoki
    Red River Dragoon, you too!
[10:19] Naoki
    Stealth Dragon, Kurogane!
[10:22] Naoki
    Well...
[10:23] Naoki
    You've got 4 damage now.
[10:26] Shingo
    And your point is?
[10:28] Shingo
    It's my turn!
[10:30] Shingo
    I ride!
[10:33] Shingo
    Covert Demonic Dragon, Magatsu Storm!
[10:44] Shingo
    Imaginary Gift! Protect!
[10:51] Shingo
    Join me, everyone!
[10:57] Naoki
    Four units at once?!
[11:00] Shingo
    Let's go.
[11:01] Shingo
    Stealth Dragon, Voidmaster!
[11:03] Voidmaster
    At your will!
[11:04] Voidmaster
    Become stone! Stealth Dragon
    Ninja Art, Evil Eye Prison!
[11:10] Naoki
    They can't intercept?!
[11:15] Naoki
    Yellow Gem Carbuncle!
[11:22] Shingo
    My Vanguard attacks!
[11:26] Shingo
    I borrow the power of Magatsu Breath
     for a boosted attack by Magatsu Gale!
[11:30] Naoki
    Zephyr Kid, Hayates!
[11:32] Hayates
    Here we come!
[11:38] Naoki
    I won't let your sacrifice be in vain.
[11:43] Shingo
    Everyone, use Vanishing Jutsu!
[11:49] Naoki
    Again?!
[11:52] Kourin
    This boy isn't like the other prospectives.
[11:55] Aichi
    He's a real Vanguard fighter.
[11:58] Aichi
    And he's really strong, too.
[12:00] Aichi
    Huh?
[12:02] Shingo
    What an honor!
[12:03] Shingo
    In all my long Vanguard career,
    this day is most worth commemorating!
[12:08] The Two
    Wh-What?
[12:10] Kourin
    Your long Vanguard career...
[12:13] Kourin
    When did you start playing?
[12:15] Shingo
    I'm so glad you asked.
[12:19] Shingo
    Actually...
[12:24] Shingo
    ...I first started in elementary school.
[12:27] Shingo
    I was so into it that I'd play every day.
[12:32] Shingo
    But after I went to
    Miyaji Academy for middle school,
[12:36] Shingo
    I was shocked.
[12:38] Shingo
    There were approximately zero
    Vanguard fighters at the school!
[12:43] Shingo
    How can this be?!
[12:46] Shingo
    A Vanguard deck should allow one
    to connect with absolutely anybody!
[12:50] Shingo
    It's the perfect global communication tool!
[12:54] Shingo
    I could only play with my younger brother,
    who also understood Vanguard's greatness.
[13:00] Shingo
    For me, every day was bleak, until...
[13:04] Shingo
    ...a shocking sight brought me to my knees!
[13:07] Shingo
    That sight was...
[13:09] Naoki
    When Kourin joined our class, right?
[13:12] Shingo
    Eh?
[13:13] Naoki
    Listen up, you creepy stalker...
[13:15] Naoki
    Stand and draw!
[13:19] Naoki
    I'm gonna finish you off this turn.
[13:22] Naoki
    This card is my new finisher!
[13:25] Naoki
    I ride!
[13:35] Naoki
    Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion!
[13:41] Naoki
    Imaginary Gift! Accel!
[13:46] Naoki
    C'mere, Great Composure Dragon!
[13:52] Naoki
    You too, Recklessness!
[13:56] Aichi
    Four units in the front row!
[13:58] Kourin
    And with Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion,
[14:00] Kourin
    that skill gives it an extra critical!
[14:04] Naoki
    Let's go!
[14:15] Shingo
    Stealth Dragon Ninja Arts!
    Perfect Guard Jutsu!
[14:19] Naoki
    What?!
[14:20] Shingo
    Counterblast!
[14:22] Shingo
    By retiring two rear-guards, I can use this!
[14:25] Shingo
    It's Magatsu Storm's Ninja Art!
[14:29] Naoki
    I ain't done yet!
[14:30] Naoki
    Lost Composure Breath!
[14:33] Naoki
    Imaginary Gift! Protect!
[14:42] Naoki
    This gets you to 5 damage!
[14:44] Naoki
    With a boost from Red River Dragoon,
     Recklessness Dragon'll finish you off!
[14:58] Shingo
    Well done, my Stealth Dragon, Kuroganes!
[15:01] Aichi
    Wow!
[15:03] Kourin
    He survived all four of Naoki's attacks.
[15:06] Naoki
    You're a decent player, for a stalker!
[15:09] Shingo
    Um...
[15:11] Naoki
    What?
[15:12] Shingo
    It appears you have the wrong idea about me.
[15:15] Shingo
    I have no interest in Kourin.
[15:18] The Two
    Huh?
[15:19] Naoki
    Say what?!
[15:21] Shingo
    Kourin Tatsunagi.
[15:23] Shingo
    You've been promoting Vanguard
    as a member of the idol group ULTRARARE,
[15:28] Shingo
    but as a fighter, you're decidedly average.
[15:30] Shingo
    You seem the least friendly of the trio,
     and your popularity is lukewarm at best.
[15:36] Kourin
    Are you picking a fight with me?
[15:40] Shingo
    To continue my story from before...
[15:46] Shingo
    The shocking sight
    that brought me to my knees...
[15:50] Shingo
    ...was none other than...
[15:54] Shingo
    ...Aichi Sendou!
[15:55] Shingo
    The day you became
    the champion of the Asia Circuit!
[16:00] Aichi
    You know about me, Shingo?
[16:03] Shingo
    Of course I do!
[16:05] Shingo
    Your semifinal match with Ren Suzugamori,
[16:08] Shingo
    and the final match
    between you and Leon Soryu,
[16:11] Shingo
    were both wonderful!
[16:13] Shingo
    Such courteous, clean fighting.
[16:15] Shingo
    Your strength displayed a noble brilliance!
[16:20] Shingo
    And then that very same Aichi Sendou
    came to Miyagi Academy for high school!
[16:26] Shingo
    And in the same class as me!
[16:29] Shingo
    We were sure to become friends!
[16:41] Shingo
    What's more, you were
    trying to form a Cardfight Club!
[16:47] Shingo
    If I joined, I would get to practice with you!
[16:50] Shingo
    At the time, I was trying to consider
     just how I should express my excitement!
[16:56] Shingo
    What on Earth?!
[16:58] Boys
    Kourin!
[17:00] Kourin
    Eh?!
[17:02] Kourin
    Get away!
[17:06] Shingo
    My idol in the world of
    Vanguard is none other than...
[17:12] Shingo
    ...you, Aichi Sendou!
[17:17] Aichi
    Ehhh?!
[17:18] Naoki
    Is that so?!
[17:20] Naoki
    I get it! This ain't about Kourin!
[17:24] Naoki
    You're stalkin' Aichi!
[17:26] Shingo
    Shut your mouth!
[17:28] Shingo
    I came running when Sendou was in trouble,
[17:31] Shingo
    trying to make a good impression...
[17:34] Shingo
    But a ruffian like you got the jump on me!
[17:38] Shingo
    The great Sendou may be
    trying to form a Cardfight Club,
[17:42] Shingo
    but I refuse to stand by when
    a mad dog like you becomes a member!
[17:47] Shingo
    I ride Magatsu Storm once more!
[17:50] Shingo
    And then I call Voidmaster, Chigasumi,
    and Stealth Rogue of the Night, Sakurafubuki!
[17:57] Naoki
    Again with a bunch at once!
[18:00] Shingo
    Chigasumi attacks your Vanguard!
[18:02] Shingo
    Its skill activates!
[18:06] Naoki
    Hayate!
[18:12] Naoki
    Damage check!
[18:14] Naoki
    All right! I got a front trigger!
[18:19] Shingo
    Ninja Art, Evil Eye Prison!
[18:23] Naoki
    It's no use!
[18:24] Naoki
    Right now, Vermillion's got 22,000 power!
[18:27] Naoki
    Voidmaster's 15,000
    ain't enough to get through!
[18:32] Shingo
    I realize that.
[18:34] Shingo
    With Voidmaster’s post-battle skill,
[18:36] Shingo
    I can return one rear-guard unit
     to my hand by using a Counterblast.
[18:41] Shingo
    That unit is Chigasumi.
[18:43] Shingo
    Magatsu Storm's skill activates!
[18:46] Naoki
    What?!
[18:47] Shingo
    With Magatsu Storm,
    when a rear-guard returns to my hand,
[18:50] Shingo
    if I then Soul Blast a grade 3,
[18:53] Shingo
    I can superior call three rear-guards!
[18:56] Naoki
    Say what?!
[18:58] Kouri
    Not only that, each of those
     three units gets +5000 power!
[19:04] Shingo
    I'm depending on you!
[19:05] Magatsu Storm
    At your will!
[19:27] Shingo
    This is my true power!
[19:31] Naoki
    I... I lost...
[19:35] Aichi
    Shingo, by all means,
    please join the Cardfight Club!
[19:39] Aichi
    You're okay with it, right, Kourin?
[19:42] Kourin
    I have some reservations about his personality,
[19:45] Kourin
    but he does meet our standards.
[19:53] Shingo
    I-If the great vanguard, Sendou, wishes it,
[19:58] Shingo
    I'd be happy to join!
[20:00] Naoki
    Shingo...
[20:04] Naoki
    Your deck's so awesome!
[20:06] Shingo
    Oh, uh, thanks.
[20:09] Naoki
    Vanguard's fun, ain't it?
[20:18] Aichi
    And now we have four members.

    Huh? Misaki?
[20:45] Akari
    You've been waiting for me?
[20:47] Misaki
    Mm.
[20:48] Akari
    What's up?
[20:50] Akari
    Usually you're all, "I have to work,"
[20:52] Akari
    and take off in a flash.
[20:55] Misaki
    Okay, I'll take off now.
[20:58] Akari
    Huh?!
[21:00] Akari
    W-Wait a second!
[21:03] Shingo
    To your regular card shop?!
[21:06] Aichi
    Y-Yeah.
[21:08] Shingo
    I'll go! Count me in!
[21:10] Kourin
    Me, too. I have time today, so I'll join you.
[21:13] Naoki
    Now that's a surprise.
[21:20] Akari
    Misaki, wait!
[21:27] Aichi
    Misaki...
[23:11] Naoki
    Shingo, you mean you like Aichi that much?!
[23:14] Shingo
    It has nothing to do with
    such vulgar concepts as like or hate!
[23:17] Shingo
    To me, Sendou is...
[23:19] Naoki
    Wh-What's wrong?
[23:21] Shingo
    Listen, Ishida, there is nothing
    that I don't know about Sendou!
[23:24] Shingo
    For example...
[23:25] Naoki
    Wha? Aichi can do that?!
[23:27] Shingo
    There's more...
[23:29] Naoki
    E-Even that?!
[23:30] Aichi
    I'm here, Naoki and Shingo!
