[00:02] Uranus
    There is a legend stating
    that Elementals still exist,
[00:06] Uranus
    flitting about the place known as
    the Astral Plane, at the end of the galaxy.
[00:10] Uranus
    If that be true, then I wish to capture
    a Galaxy Elemental with my own hand!
[00:20] Esuka
    This isn't a lottery.
[00:31] Esuka
    Make your choice, Shinemon Nitta!
[00:38] Shin
    What should I do?
[00:40] Shin
    If I choose Capital,
    I can't go on the world tour.
[00:43] Shin
    But if I choose otherwise, Capital will...
SIGN    Remind 17 True Passion
[02:23] Shin
    What should I do?
[02:25] Shin
    If I choose Capital,
    I can't go on the world tour.
[02:28] Shin
    But if I choose otherwise, Capital will...
[02:33] Esuka
    You only get that choice if you beat me!
[02:37] Esuka
    Binoculus Tiger attacks your Vanguard!
[02:43] Esuka
    Binoculus Tiger's skill activates!
[02:46] MC
    Binoculus Tiger also has the "Lottery" skill!
[02:50] MC
    If the card she draws is normal,
    she can draw a card.
[02:53] MC
    If it's a trigger, she can retire
    one of her opponent's rear-guards,
[02:57] MC
    and three of her units will get stronger.
[03:00] Tatsuya
    If she draws a trigger,
    it may be tough for him to guard!
[03:05] MC
    It's a normal unit!
[03:07] Esuka
    It didn't go the way I preferred,
    but I have to accept the result.
[03:12] Esuka
    That's how life works.
[03:14] Shin
    Don't patronize me!
[03:16] Shin
    I guard!
[03:18] Shin
    Cyber Tiger!
[03:20] Esuka
    Silver Wolf, come with me!
[03:22] Silver Wolf
    Yes, my Vanguard!
[03:25] Esuka
    Drive check!
[03:30] Mark
    A heal trigger!
[03:32] Esuka
    I give the power to Geograph Giant!
[03:38] Esuka
    Geograph Giant!
[03:45] Shin
    Damage check!
[03:48] Mikuru
    4 damage!
[03:50] MC
    Well, now it's Shinemon Nitta's turn...
[03:57] Shin
    Misaki...?
[03:59] Shin
    I'm just warming up. Watch me.
[04:01] Misaki
    Shin...
[04:02] Misaki
    What is your true passion?
[04:06] Misaki
    Is running this shop what you most want to do?
[04:11] Shin
    Misaki...
[04:14] Misaki
    If you're only doing it for my sake, then...
[04:17] Misaki
    ...it's my fault that you're not
    following your true passion!
[04:23] Esuka
    It's like I told you.
[04:25] Esuka
    Make sure that you can say
    you're doing this for yourself.
[04:28] Esuka
    While it's cool to say it's for someone else,
    have you ever considered that person's feelings?
[04:35] Esuka
    How would you feel if someone told you,
    "I'm giving up my future, all for your sake"?
[04:45] Shin
    I... I...
[04:48] Shin
    I ride Gleaming Lord, Uranus!
[04:53] Shin
    The entirety of destiny is inscribed
    within the blinding darkness!
[04:58] Shin
    And I am the one who recites it!
[05:00] Shin
    Invited or not...
[05:02] Shin
    Gleaming Lord, Uranus!
[05:05] Shin
    Imaginary Gift, Force I!
[05:08] Shin
    Uranus's skill activates!
[05:10] Shin
    I get an Imaginary Gift!
[05:13] Shin
    Also, Atlas! Parthenos!
[05:16] MC
    Atlas's skill! By putting Atlas in the Soul...
[05:20] Shin
    I get an Imaginary Gift!
[05:23] Mikuru
    That makes three Gifts!
[05:25] Tatsuya
    No, he's also got the one from
    the previous turn, so that's four Gifts!
[05:29] Shin
    I call Atlas again!
[05:33] MC
    Whoa! He had another one!
[05:36] Shin
    I get an Imaginary Gift!
[05:38] Shin
    That's the fifth gift!
[05:41] Shin
    Believe in me, Misaki!
[05:43] Shin
    I'm going to protect this shop, Capital!
[05:46] Shin
    For your sake!
[05:49] Shin
    And for my own sake, too!
[05:51] Shin
    Along with my partner!
[05:53] Shin
    Circle Shift! Astral Plane!
[06:04] Uranus
    Elementals! Return to our planet Cray!
[06:14] Shin
    And standing on that Astral Plane...
[06:24] Shin
    Rewrite the imagination...
[06:28] Shin
    ...O great planetary guardian deity!
[06:31] Shin
    Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
[06:41] Shin
    Its skill activates!
[06:44] Shin
    Twin drive!
[06:45] Mark&Tatsuya
    Go, Valkerion!
[06:47] Shin
    Parthenos! Attack Binoculus!
[06:50] Parthenos
    Leave it to me!
[06:56] MC
    He first retires Binoculus, which can intercept!
[07:00] Shin
    Now I'll go!
[07:05] Shin
    Drive check!
[07:10] Tatsuya
    A heal trigger!
[07:11] Tatsuya
    He heals 1 damage point!
[07:13] Esuka
    Damage check!
[07:16] MC
    That's a front trigger!
[07:18] MC
    All of Esuka's front-row units gain 10,000 power!
[07:22] MC
    But she's now at 3 damage, tied with Nitta!
[07:26] Mark
    And he still has Valkerion!
[07:32] Shin
    Valkerion! Zodiac Blazer!
[07:40] Esuka
    Come, Cable Sheep!
[07:42] MC
    There it is! Cable Sheep's skill is...
[07:46] Esuka
    Perfect guard.
[07:50] Shin
    First check!
[07:52] Mark
    But even though he got a critical...
[07:54] Shin
    I give all of the effects to Parthenos!
[07:57] Shin
    Second check!
[07:59] MC
    Wowsers! Before a perfect guard,
    even Valkerion is at a loss!
[08:06] Shin
    I still have Parthenos!
[08:08] Tatsuya
    Between Parthenos, Diana's boosting,
    and the critical, the power is 37,000!
[08:14] Tonori
    If he doesn't deal at least 1 more damage...
[08:18] Esuka
    Dictionary Goat guards!
[08:21] Tatsuya
    42,000!
[08:23] MC
    Ouch! Shinemon Nitta's
    final attack is also a dud,
[08:28] MC
    meaning he dealt a measly 1 damage this turn!
[08:33] MC
    And as the turn ends,
    Valkerion returns to the deck!
[08:41] Uranus
    Galaxy Elemental...
[08:44] Uranus
    With this hand, I shall...
[08:54] Prometheus
    Are you injured, Gleaming Lord?
[08:57] Uranus
    If but briefly, I had it in my hand.
[09:02] Isabelle
    However much you
    desire them, some things...
[09:05] Isabelle
    ...are unobtainable.
[09:22] Shin
    Why...? I had Capital right in my hand.
[09:26] Mikuru
    But is it what you actually wanted?
[09:29] Mikuru
    Misaki's right.
[09:32] Mikuru
    Just what is your true passion?
[09:35] Shin
    I...
[09:37] Misaki
    Shin, imagine your future as you wish it to be.
[09:45] Shin
    What's that look for?
[09:50] Esuka
    Stand and draw.
[09:53] Esuka
    I ride Isabelle again!
[10:00] Esuka
    I get an Imaginary Gift, Accel II!
[10:05] MC
    Whoa! Esuka has unleashed a second Accel Circle!
[10:10] Esuka
    Its skill activates!
[10:11] Nanami
    No more "Lottery" with Isabelle!
[10:14] Nanami
    She's using both abilities at the same time!
[10:16] Esuka
    Silver Wolf joins my hand.
[10:18] Esuka
    And now, Isabelle gains +15,000 power!
[10:22] Esuka
    Geograph Giant! Mathilda!
[10:26] Esuka
    With Isabelle's skill, I can activate
    either ability of any Lottery unit.
[10:32] Esuka
    Including Mathilda's, of course.
[10:35] MC
    Now her opponent can only guard against
    Mathilda's attack with two or more cards,
[10:40] MC
    and at the same time,
    Mathilda gains an extra critical!
[10:43] Esuka
    Isabelle...
[10:44] Esuka
    ...attacks!
[10:46] Esuka
    Silver Wolf boosts!
[10:48] Shin
    No guard!
[10:50] Esuka
    Drive check!
[10:51] Esuka
    First check.
[10:53] Tonori
    A critical, yo!
[10:55] Esuka
    I give the power to my left Geograph Giant
    and the extra critical to Isabelle.
[10:59] Esuka
    Second check.
[11:01] MC
    The second one is a heal trigger!
[11:03] Esuka
    I give the power to
    my right Geograph Giant.
[11:15] Nanami
    5 damage.
[11:16] Tonori
    And Esuka's damage's back down to 2, yo.
[11:19] Tonori
    I think it's all over.
[11:21] Nanami
    Ms. Esuka!
[11:22] Esuka
    What? Are you going to
    ask me to take it easy on him?
[11:27] Nanami
    Please tell me one thing.
[11:29] Nanami
    Why do you want Capital so much?
[11:31] Nanami
    It's just one shop.
[11:34] Esuka
    I told you before.
[11:35] Esuka
    I owe the couple who previously owned this shop.
[11:39] Esuka
    Left to him, it's sure to go out of business.
[11:42] Nanami
    But there's more to it.
[11:43] Nanami
    It's felt like you've had something
    against Shinemon since the beginning.
[11:50] Esuka
    Back when I first got the
    ball rolling with Esuka Group...
[11:54] Esuka
    Wow, so this is your little brother?
[11:57] Manager
    He's still in high school, but he fights
    like he was born to enjoy Vanguard.
[12:06] Esuka
    Maybe he'll have a future
    as a pro Vanguard fighter.
[12:10] Manager
    Who knows with him?
[12:12] Manager
    Esuka, would you take him under your wing?
[12:20] Esuka
    But then, before we could meet again...
[12:24] Esuka
    So that's the first and last favor
    the manager ever asked of me.
[12:29] Shin
    Then your promise to the manager was...
[12:32] Nanami
    B-But then, why have you
    blocked Shinemon at every turn?!
[12:36] Esuka
    Shinemon is still in high school.
[12:39] Esuka
    He shouldn't give up on
    his true passion in life.
[12:43] Esuka
    Helping him realize that is
    my way of "taking him under my wing."
[12:48] Tatsuya
    Um, I'm not sure I follow...
[12:52] Mark
    She means it was all for Shinemon's sake.
[12:57] Esuka
    1 more damage, and you can
    finally follow your true passion.
[13:04] Esuka
    Geograph Giant attacks your Vanguard!
[13:09] MC
    With Accel Circle and a skill,
[13:11] MC
    plus the earlier trigger bonus,
    that makes 32,000 power!
[13:16] Shin
    I guard with Kukurihime!
[13:19] MC
    28,000! It still isn't enough!
[13:22] Shin
    I'm counting on you, Parthenos!
[13:24] Parthenos
    Yes, my Vanguard!
[13:28] Esuka
    However, I still have one more Geograph Giant!
[13:31] Shin
    Kukurihime and Parthenos!
[13:36] Esuka
    You're so tenacious...
[13:38] Esuka
    Make it easy on yourself, already!
[13:41] Shin
    Sheesh. I'm grateful, really.
[13:44] Shin
    To Misaki...
[13:45] Shin
    ...and Mikuru...
[13:47] Shin
    ...and even you, Esuka!
[13:48] Shin
    You're all concerned about my future.
[13:51] Mikuru
    I can see why you'd want to
    protect Capital for Misaki's sake.
[13:55] Mikuru
    But your future's a different matter, Shinemon!
[13:59] Misaki
    Follow your true passion, please...
[14:02] Shin
    You've got me wrong!
[14:05] Shin
    Yes, I'm conflicted.
[14:07] Shin
    But it's not because I have
    something else as my passion.
[14:11] Shin
    It's because I don't!
[14:14] Mark
    Shinemon...
[14:16] Shin
    I have no idea what my true passion is.
[14:22] Esuka
    So then, protecting Capital...
[14:24] Esuka
    ...has just been your excuse for not
    making the effort to find that passion!
[14:29] Esuka
    This will eliminate that concern, too!
[14:32] Esuka
    Mathilda attacks!
[14:35] MC
    There it is! To guard against Mathilda,
    he has to use two or more cards!
[14:41] MC
    What will Nitta do?!
[14:44] Shin
    I guard!
[14:45] MC
    His guard succeeded!
[14:47] MC
    But Nitta has 5 damage, two units in play,
    and only one card in his hand!
[14:56] Isabelle
    It's not just us.
[14:58] Isabelle
    Long ago, many people
    sought out the Elementals...
[15:02] Isabelle
    ...but it was just a waste of time.
[15:05] Isabelle
    So...
[15:09] Pan
    Hey, that's...
[15:14] Pan
    ...Astraios Dragon!
[15:17] Cecile
    No way... Quaking Heavenly Dragon,
    Astraios Dragon is an ancient deity...
[15:22] Cecile
    They're supposed to be extinct...
[15:25] Astraios Dragon
    Indeed. I am this world's
    last Quaking Heavenly Dragon.
[15:30] Isabelle
    What an honor...
[15:31] Isabelle
    The former Astral Poet Deity, said to have
    shaken the furthest reaches of the galaxy.
[15:37] Isabelle
    Still, why now?
[15:38] Astraios Dragon
    Using thy science and my power,
    open the Astral Plane once again.
[15:45] Isabelle
    You want the experiment to continue?
[15:47] Isabelle
    But it's impossible to gather
    the Galaxy Elementals.
[15:51] Isabelle
    You must know that
    better than anyone, so why?
[15:56] Astraios
    What even we could not accomplish,
    might someday be possible for the young.
[16:01] Astraios
    Is that not the object of history?
[16:06] Uranus
    I will catch one!
[16:08] Uranus
    Catch an Elemental, in this very hand!
[16:12] Shin
    Stand and draw!
[16:14] Shin
    I ride!
[16:20] Esuka
    What is this?!
[16:22] Shin
    Quaking Heavenly Dragon, Astraios Dragon!
[16:27] Shin
    Imaginary Gift, Force I!
[16:30] Shin
    Something I need to protect?
[16:32] Shin
    I have nothing like that,
[16:34] Shin
    and I never thought I did.
[16:36] Shin
    Except for one thing!
[16:39] Shin
    When Misaki was born, I made a vow...
[16:44] Shin
    ...that she would always be able to smile.
[16:52] Shin
    Yes. This isn't about "someone else."
[16:55] Shin
    To keep that promise I made to myself,
[16:59] Shin
    I deploy the Astral Plane again!
[17:01] Shin
    O great planetary guardian deity!
[17:05] Shin
    Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
[17:11] Astraios
    Catch it, Uranus!
[17:19] Uranus
    The Elementals are gathering...
[17:22] Uranus
    It's as if they are taking on humanoid form!
[17:29] MC
    Valkerion's skill!
[17:31] MC
    He looks at the top five cards of his deck,
[17:33] MC
    and gets as many drives as the
    highest grade among those cards!
[17:38] MC
    My goodness! A Valkerion!
[17:41] MC
    A third Valkerion!
[17:44] MC
    Valkerion's grade is...
[17:46] Esuka
    Five. Quintet drive.
[17:50] Tatsuya
    He can do five drive checks!
[17:53] Shin
    Valkerion attacks your Vanguard!
[17:57] MC
    Valkerion has 70,000 power!
[17:59] MC
    With the additional Gift, it's 80,000! Amazing!
[18:04] Esuka
    No guard.
[18:06] Shin
    Valkerion!
[18:07] Shin
    Zodiac Blazer Quintet!
[18:12] Shin
    First check!
[18:14] Shin
    Second check!
[18:17] Shin
    Third check!
[18:20] Shin
    Fourth check!
[18:22] Shin
    Fifth check!
[18:25] MC
    A t-triple critical trigger!
[18:28] MC
    That's 4 damage!
[18:30] MC
    Now it all rides on whether or not
    Esuka can draw a heal trigger!
[18:35] Esuka
    First check.
[18:37] Esuka
    Second check.
[18:40] Esuka
    Third check.
[18:42] Nanami
    5 damage!
[18:44] MC
    What will the final check bring?!
[18:51] MC
    No trigger!
[18:53] MC
    Should this even be possible?!
[19:07] MC
    Shinemon Nitta has defeated Esuka Hibino!
[19:11] MC
    This shop, Card Capital, now belongs to Nitta!
[19:20] Esuka
    And all I wanted to do was set you free.
[19:26] Shin
    Mark! Master! We're going on a world tour!
[19:30] Shin
    Oh, I almost forgot.
[19:32] Shin
    I choose both!
[19:35] Nanami
    Hey, that's going too far...
[19:37] Rive
    You did promise to do
    whatever he said if you lost.
[19:41] Shin
    I want to try everything,
[19:44] Shin
    until I know what my true passion is!
[19:47] Misaki
    Good.
[19:48] Esuka
    That's fine. Open it.
[19:53] Shin
    What is this?
[19:55] Shin
    "Card Capital Apprentice Manager Contract"?
[19:58] Esuka
    You and I are entering into
    a contract, Shinemon Nitta.
[20:01] Esuka
    While you're on the world tour...
[20:04] Esuka
    I'll be managing this shop.
[20:07] Nanami
    Ms. Esuka!
[20:09] Esuka
    And one more thing.
[20:11] Esuka
    The black envelope.
[20:12] Shin
    What's this? A college application?!
[20:15] Esuka
    Didn't you know?
[20:16] Esuka
    To participate in the world tour,
    you must be at least age 20, or in college.
[20:21] Esuka
    You can't go unless you
    become a college student.
[20:24] Shin
    I can't do entrance exams now!
[20:27] Shin
    What about the shop, and the tour?!
[20:28] Mikuru
    Just do it, Exam-Taker Cinnamon!
[20:31] Shin
    Easy for you to say!
[20:33] Shin
    How can I, when I've got a 20 in English,
    a 35 in Math and 40 in Japanese?!
[20:38] Shin
    How could you tell me to take entrance exams?!
[20:46] Shin
    M-Misaki's laughing!
[20:52] Shin
    Th-Th-This is wonderful!
[20:57] Shin
    After what happened, all I've wanted
    was to see you smile again, Misaki!
[21:00] Mikuru
    She has, though.
[21:02] Rive
    Yeah, she's smiled
    in front of us once in a while.
[21:07] Mark
    I've seen her smile, too.
[21:10] Mikuru
    She probably just hated you.
[21:12] Shin
    Oh, Misaki...
[21:15] Misaki
    No, that's not why.
[21:17] Misaki
    I always felt worried
    whenever I was around Shin, so...
[21:24] Shin
    That was why?
[21:28] Shin
    Thank goodness!
[21:31] Shin
    Oh, thank goodness...
[21:34] Shin
    Misaki...
[21:46] Uranus
    What is this?
[21:47] Astraios
    The Galaxy Elementals have
    become one: a spirit of the stars.
[21:51] Astraios
    Nay, an Astral Deity.
[21:55] Isabelle
    O young deity,
    together with this Astral Deity,
[21:59] Isabelle
    grant us guidance with
    the power of your imagination.
[23:46] Narrator
    The 30-second card intro segment!
[23:49] Narrator
    Today's featured card is Esuka's
    Scientist of Black Sheen, Mathilda!
SIGN    Scientist of Black Sheen, Mathilda
[23:56] Narrator
    When this unit appears,
    its Lottery skill activates!
[24:00] Narrator
    But if the Vanguard is Isabelle,
    which can activate both its Lottery skills,
[24:04] Narrator
    then both this unit's skills--guard restriction
    and extra critical--can be activated together!
[24:10] Narrator
    With this card, you too can
    "Ride The Vanguard"!
SIGN    Ride The Vanguard!
[24:15] Misaki
    Uncle Rive, your story about the Genesis deities
     and the Great Nature fox was very interesting!
[24:21] Rive
