[00:05] Itsuki
    Regarding your Cardfight Club application...
[00:08] Itsuki
    I see no issues with it.
[00:14] Itsuki
    President, your approval, please.
[00:17] Naito
    "A club where students can enjoy Vanguard"...
[00:21] Naito
    I don't see how that suits Miyaji Academy,
[00:23] Naito
    where our mission is
    to cultivate a globalized workforce.
[00:29] Naito
    Still, rules are rules.
    I'll grant you permission.
[00:34] Aichi
    Thank you very much!
[00:36] Maki
    "Cardfight Club: officially approved."
[00:39] Maki
    "Captain: Aichi Sendou"...
[00:43] Itsuki
    Your club room is at the end of
    the hallway in the humanities wing.
[00:47] Aichi
    Right! Thank you!
[00:52] Naito
    Incidentally...
[00:53] Naito
    ...what is "Vanguard"?
[00:56] The Two
    Huh?
[01:01] Shingo
    This is our club room?
[01:05] Naoki
    All right! Let's get fightin'!
[01:08] Kourin
    It's dark in here.
[01:11] Misaki
    We need to clean up the place first.
[01:17] Aichi
    Right...
[01:18] Aichi
    But before that...
[01:22] Misaki
    What's wrong?
[01:24] Aichi
    I'm so nervous, I don't think
    I can write the name of our club neatly...
[01:28] Naoki
    I'll write it, then!
[01:30] Shingo
    Keep your messy handwriting off of that sign!
[01:33] Shingo
    It'll be here for a long time!
SIGN    Cardfight Club
[01:39] The Three
    Oooh!
[01:41] Aichi
    Thank you so much, Kourin.
[01:44] Aichi
    You have lovely handwriting.
[01:46] Kourin
    D-Do I?
[01:50] Aichi
    May you host us for three whole years!
[01:54] Aichi
    I'm now a student at Miyaji Academy,
[01:57] Aichi
    and have decided to start a Cardfight Club.
[02:02] Aichi
    I've got to imagine it!
[02:05] Aichi
    I'm sure my imagination will take shape!
SIGN    Image 32 First Exchange Match
[03:45] Suiko
    Huh... So your Cardfight Club is official now.
[03:48] Rekka
    You worked hard on that, didn't you, Kou?
[03:52] Kourin
    Not really.
[03:54] Takuto
    Now you can enter team competitions.
[03:57] Kourin
    Yes, although Aichi's the only one
    with actual tournament experience.
[04:01] Rekka
    Then you should do
    exchange matches with other schools.
[04:05] Kourin
    Exchange matches...
[04:07] Suiko
    Good idea!
[04:09] Suiko
    And to start...
SIGN    Cardfight Club
[04:12] Naoki
    Man, I lost again!
[04:14] Aichi
    This should do it!
[04:19] Naoki
    Why?! Why can't I beat you?!
[04:21] Naoki
    I poured my blood, sweat and tears
    into building this deck!
[04:24] Shingo
    That deck is where the problem lies.
[04:27] Misaki
    Naoki Ishida...
[04:29] Misaki
    You have eight critical triggers and
    eight front triggers in your deck, don't you?
[04:36] Naoki
    I-Incredible! That's our psychic Boss for ya!
[04:39] Misaki
    I'm not psychic! I just know
    that much after several matches!
[04:43] Misaki
    And I'm not a "Boss"!
[04:45] Naoki
    Oh, right! You're the "Backstage Boss"!
[04:47] Misaki
    I am not!
[04:49] Misaki
    Anyway, about your deck...
[04:52] Misaki
    Put in four heal triggers.
[04:54] Misaki
    And adding draw triggers
    will also help stabilize your deck.
[04:58] Naoki
    Thanks! I'll give that a try!
[05:05] Misaki
    Now your card draws
    should mesh well with your strategy.
[05:08] Shingo
    Yes, I see...
[05:10] Naoki
    The Boss's amazing, ain't she, Aichi?
[05:13] Naoki
    She's like a walking card encyclopedia.
[05:16] Aichi
    Naoki, calling her "Boss" is...
[05:19] Naoki
    Even though she looks scary,
[05:21] Naoki
    she's real nice when telling us about cards.
[05:24] Aichi
    Yeah!
[05:25] Naoki
    Unlike a certain cute-looking but
    scary-acting idol, she's the exact opposite!
[05:31] Kourin
    The exact opposite of what?
[05:34] Aichi
    K-Kourin!
[05:36] Kourin
    You shouldn't be that surprised.
[05:38] Kourin
    I'm only a few minutes late.
[05:41] Aichi
    W-We were just discussing
    everyone's fighting styles...
[05:46] Kourin
    Oh, really?
[05:48] Naoki
    Thank god she dropped the topic!
[05:50] Aichi
    Come on, Naoki!
[05:53] Kourin
    Actually, when I told an acquaintance
    that we'd formed a Cardfight club,
[05:57] Kourin
    she proposed an exchange match,
    and I gave her a tentative okay...
[06:02] Aichi
    An exchange match?
[06:03] Aichi
    With a Cardfight club from another school?
[06:06] Kourin
    Right. Should I have said no?
[06:09] Aichi
    Of course not! I welcome
    this chance with open arms!
[06:11] Naoki
    A match against another school? Let's do this!
[06:15] Shingo
    When is the match?
[06:17] Kourin
    Next Sunday.
[06:18] Misaki
    At which school?
[06:21] Naoki
    You forgot already?!
[06:23] Kourin
    It won't be a problem.
[06:25] Kourin
    I'll have Ushimaru give us a lift.
[06:29] Naoki
    So how do exchange matches work, anyway?
[06:37] Ushimaru
    We've arrived.
[06:38] Kourin
    Thank you, Ushimaru.
[06:42] Aichi
    This is the school?
[06:44] Naoki
    "Fukuhara"?
SIGN    Fukuhara High School
[06:46] Shingo
    Could this be "the" Fukuhara High?
[06:50] Kourin
    You're familiar with it?
[06:51] Shingo
    But of course!
[06:53] Shingo
    This is the school that won last year's
    Vanguard Fight High School Championship!
[06:58] Naoki
    Perfect! I don't gotta hold back!
[07:02] Misaki
    I have a bad feeling about this...
[07:04] Tetsu
    We've been waiting for you,
    students of Miyaji Academy.
[07:09] Tetsu
    It's been quite a while, Aichi Sendou.
[07:12] Aichi
    Tetsu!
[07:14] Shingo
    That's Tetsu Shinjou,
    the captain of last year's team!
[07:18] Shingo
    But I thought he had graduated?
[07:20] Tetsu
    I'm now their coach.
[07:22] Tetsu
    Our current captain should be
    the one out here to meet you,
[07:25] Tetsu
    but he's somewhat undependable.
[07:28] Tetsu
    He's wandered off again...
[07:30] Ren
    Oh!
[07:31] Ren
    It's Aichi!
[07:34] Ren
    Welcome to Fukuhara High!
[07:37] Aichi
    Ren!
[07:38] Asaka
    That's dangerous, Ren!
[07:40] Misaki
    It just had to be his school...
[07:42] Shingo
    I see! Ren Suzugamori, the third-place winner
    of the Asia Circuit, attends Fukuhara High School.
[07:48] Aichi
    Which must mean their captain is...
[07:51] Tetsu
    Yes, it's Ren.
[07:55] Ren
    And there's Misa-Q!
[07:56] The Two
    "Misa-Q"?
[07:57] Misaki
    You don't have to comment on that!
[08:00] Kourin
    I see. So their captain
    fought Aichi at the Asia Circuit.
[08:05] Misaki
    You didn't know that
    before you brought us here?
[08:08] Kourin
    I told you. This is just where
    my acquaintance goes to school.
[08:12] Kourin
    In any case, you and he seem pretty close.
[08:15] Kourin
    Your boyfriend?
[08:16] Misaki
    No! He was originally our enemy!
[08:23] Ren
    I haven't seen you since the Asia Circuit!
[08:25] Ren
    I've been looking forward
    to you visiting here, Aichi.
[08:28] Aichi
    I'm glad to see you again too, Ren.
[08:35] Tetsu
    This is Fukuhara's Cardfight Club.
[08:39] Naoki
    You get this whole huge room?!
[08:43] Shingo
    It's roughly 100 times bigger than ours.
[08:46] Aichi
    And aren't those playing tables custom-made?
[08:50] Tetsu
    Yes. All fights that take place here
    are recorded into a database,
[08:55] Tetsu
    which is helpful for
    improving our members' skills.
[08:58] The Three
    Wow!
[09:01] Misaki
    I recognize some of these people.
[09:04] Tetsu
    It's true that some of them are
    former members of Team Asteroid.
[09:07] Tetsu
    But we don't do anything heavy-handed anymore.
[09:12] Tetsu
    Sendou. Thanks to you,
    my research now has a clear direction.
[09:17] Aichi
    Your research? Into PSYqualia?
[09:20] Tetsu
    Yes. And we have a new collaborator.
[09:23] Suiko
    Aichi is here!
[09:27] Suiko
    You're adorable!
[09:29] Aichi
    A-A-Aren't you...
[09:32] Kourin
    Hands off of him, Suiko!
[09:35] Shingo
    And now we have Suiko Tatsunagi from ULTRARARE!
[09:39] Shingo
    I see! So she was Kourin's acquaintance!
[09:43] Misaki
    Suiko Tatsunagi...
[09:46] Kai
    That's the girl who told Ren
    his power was named "PSYqualia."
[09:50] Misaki
    She's your collaborator?
[09:52] Tetsu
    That's right.
[09:53] Tetsu
    To be precise, the Tatsunagi Group
    is providing us assistance through her.
[09:58] Tetsu
    Apparently, she's been interested
    in PSYqualia for quite some time.
[10:02] Shingo
    The winners of the Asia Circuit...
[10:04] Shingo
    Two members of ULTRARARE,
    Vanguard's official idol group...
[10:09] Shingo
    It's as if...
[10:10] Shingo
    ...the entirety of Vanguard
    is present in this room!
[10:14] Naoki
    Really?
[10:15] Shingo
    I'm so glad that I went to Miyaji Academy!
[10:19] Tetsu
    Listen up, everyone!
[10:21] Tetsu
    Students from Miyaji Academy
    are paying us a visit.
[10:24] Tetsu
    They've only just formed their Cardfight Club,
[10:26] Tets
    but their captain, Aichi Sendou,
[10:28] Tetsu
    is a first-class fighter
    who won the last Asia Circuit.
[10:33] Member1
    I heard he beat Captain Suzugamori.
[10:35] Member2
    He's so cute!
[10:37] Tetsu
    I'd like you to learn from
    the experience of challenging him.
[10:40] Tetsu
    Sendou, if you could say a few words.
[10:42] Aichi
    Huh?
[10:44] Misaki
    Make a good impression, Captain!
[10:49] Aichi
    Um...
[10:50] Aichi
    We're Miyaji Academy's Cardfight Club.
[10:53] Aichi
    Thank you for hosting our match today!
[10:57] The Five
    Thank you!
[11:10] Tetsu
    I see. A team competition, then?
[11:12] Aichi
    Yes.
[11:13] Aichi
    Since we've just formed our club,
    I'd like us to gain that experience.
[11:17] Tetsu
    Got it.
[11:19] Tetsu
    Then we'll start with
    a three-on-three team battle.
[11:22] Tetsu
    Choose your team.
[11:23] Aichi
    Okay.
[11:25] Misaki
    The first to go is key.
[11:27] Misaki
    Who will it be?
[11:28] Naoki
    All right, then I'll do this!
[11:30] Naoki
    I've been itching for a fight
    so bad, I can hardly stand still!
[11:35] Aichi
    Sure, then.
[11:36] Shingo
    I protest!
[11:38] Naoki
    Say what?!
[11:39] Shingo
    You're still a lowly beginner!
[11:41] Shingo
    Yet you would charge in
    ahead of our superstars?
[11:45] Shingo
    You should learn your place!
[11:46] Naoki
    Charge!
[11:49] Shingo
    Unacceptable!
[11:52] Shingo
    Sendou, our captain and powerhouse,
    should be the one to go first.
[11:57] Misaki
    Good point.
[11:58] Kourin
    Yes, I agree.
[11:59] Aichi
    A-All right.
[12:02] Aichi
    Then, I'll go first.
[12:07] Tetsu
    Miyaji Academy is sending in Sendou?
[12:10] Ren
    Then, since I'm also a captain...
[12:13] Asaka
    Ren!
[12:15] Ren
    What's wrong, Asaka?
[12:17] Asaka
    With your permission...
[12:20] Asaka
    ...I would like to fight Aichi Sendou.
[12:24] Ren
    Aww! That's no fun for me!
[12:26] Tetsu
    Ren...
[12:27] Tetsu
    Let's leave this fight to Asaka.
[12:30] Ren
    Tetsu...
[12:32] Tetsu
    Go ahead, Asaka.
[12:33] Tetsu
    Give Sendou a shot.
[12:35] Asaka
    Right.
[12:38] Aichi
    Um, this is our first time fighting, isn't it?
[12:42] Aichi
    I'm Aichi Sendou.
[12:46] Asaka
    I'm Asaka Narumi. Nice to meet you.
[12:49] The Two
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[12:53] Aichi
    I ride!
[12:55] Aichi
    Glyme!
[12:58] Asaka
    I ride!
[13:00] Asaka
    Entertain Messenger!
[13:08] Suiko
    What are you plotting?
[13:10] Tetsu
    There's something I'd like to confirm.
[13:13] Aichi
    I ride!
[13:15] Aichi
    Knight Squire, Allen!
[13:19] Suiko
    Confirm what?
[13:21] Tetsu
    Whether or not Sendou has lost his PSYqualia.
[13:26] Asaka
    I ride!
[13:28] Asaka
    Starting Presenter!
[13:31] Asaka
    Here I come!
[13:35] Suiko
    Wouldn't Ren have been the
    better opponent for that purpose?
[13:39] Suiko
    Doesn't it take a strong opponent
    to make PSYqualia manifest?
[13:44] Tetsu
    No, it wouldn't have worked with Ren.
[13:48] Aichi
    I ride!
[13:52] Aichi
    Blaster Blade!
[13:54] Aichi
    Knight of Silence, Gallatin!
[13:57] Aichi
    Knight of Friendship, Kay!
[14:01] Aichi
    Skill activates!
[14:02] Aichi
    Superior call!
[14:06] Bedivere
    Knight of Loyalty, Bedivere has arrived!
[14:11] Aichi
    Let's go, everyone!
[14:21] Tetsu
    During the recent Asia Circuit,
[14:24] Tetsu
    Sendou never clearly
    exhibited PSYqualia, not even once.
[14:29] Tetsu
    Not even when he fought Ren.
[14:31] Tetsu
    Either they had sealed
    their PSYqualias, or else...
[14:35] Tetsu
    Judging by today's mood,
[14:37] Tetsu
    it's most likely that Ren and Aichi
    would just enjoy their fight, start to finish.
[14:42] Tetsu
    However, it's different with Asaka.
[14:46] Bedivere
    Kay! Follow me!
[14:48] Kay
    Of course!
[14:49] Asaka
    Purple Trapezist! You're on!
[14:54] Trapezist
    Delighted!
[14:59] Asaka
    Ren changed completely...
[15:02] Asaka
    ...simply by fighting him.
[15:05] Asaka
    It's a change that I should've welcomed,
[15:09] Asaka
    but still...
[15:12] Asaka
    ...why did he have to be the one to cause it?!
[15:15] Asaka
    Why not me, the person closest to Ren?!
[15:19] Asaka
    I ride!
[15:21] Asaka
    Jumping Jill!
[15:25] Asaka
    To the ring, Nitro Juggler!
[15:29] Asaka
    Starting Presenter! Midnight Bunny!
[15:34] Asaka
    Jill and Bunny's boosted attack!
[15:36] Aichi
    I guard with Epona and Gallatin!
[15:39] Asaka
    Drive check.
[15:43] Asaka
    Critical trigger!
[15:45] Asaka
    Nitro Juggler and
    Starting Presenter's boosted attack!
[15:53] Asaka
    That's what I want to learn.
[15:57] Ren
    Asaka's really fired up!
[16:00] Tetsu
    I gave Asaka very thorough training.
[16:03] Tetsu
    She's much stronger than she was before.
[16:07] Aichi
    I ride!
[16:12] Aichi
    King of Knights, Alfred!
[16:16] Aichi
    Imaginary Gift! Force!
[16:19] Aichi
    Alfred's skill activates!
[16:20] Aichi
    Superior call!
[16:22] Aichi
    Blaster Blade!
[16:24] Blaster
    Yes, my Vanguard.
[16:29] Blaster
    Burst Buster!
[16:35] Aichi
    Let's go, everyone!
[16:40] Aichi
    Great Sword!
[16:43] Aichi
    Drive check!
[16:45] Aichi
    Critical trigger!
[16:49] Aichi
    Blaster Blade attacks!
[16:51] Asaka
    The show's not over yet!
[16:53] Asaka
    Hades Hypnotist!
[17:00] Naoki
    A perfect guard!
[17:02] Shingo
    But Sendou still has the advantage.
[17:05] Suiko
    Will it end here?
[17:07] Tetsu
    It's too soon to tell.
[17:09] Tetsu
    Asaka's spirit may still
    back Sendou into a corner.
[17:13] Asaka
    I ride!
[17:14] Asaka
    Golden Beast Tamer!
[17:17] Asaka
    Imaginary Gift! Accel!
[17:21] Asaka
    Dancing Knifedancer!
[17:24] Asaka
    Artilleryman!
[17:26] Asaka
    I will not lose!
[17:34] Naoki
    That makes 5 damage!
[17:36] Asaka
    It's the final act!
[17:38] Tetsu
    So, what will you do, Sendou?
[17:40] Tetsu
    If you're going to use PSYqualia,
    now is the time to do it!
[17:47] Aichi
    Elaine! Wingal!
[17:54] Aichi
    It's my turn. Stand and draw!
[17:57] Aichi
    Materializing here now
[17:59] Aichi
    is the great sovereign who rules
    the sacred lands of United Sanctuary!
[18:05] Aichi
    I ride Monarch Sanctuary Alfred!
[18:09] Aichi
    Imaginary Gift! Force!
[18:12] Aichi
    Monarch Sanctuary Alfred's skill activates!
[18:16] Aichi
    I move Blaster Blade
    from the Drop Zone into my hand!
[18:20] Shingo
    That give Monarch +15,000 power,
[18:23] Shingo
    and with King of Knights, Alfred
    in the Soul, it also gains an extra critical!
[18:29] Aichi
    Wingal! Blaster Blade!
[18:36] Blaster
    Burst Buster!
[18:43] Aichi
    Subjugation Field! Theater Moderate!
[18:49] Asaka
    Th-The show must go on!
[18:50] Asaka
    Candy Clown!
[18:54] Aichi
    Drive check!
[18:55] Aichi
    Critical trigger!
[19:06] Asaka
    Damage check...
[19:11] Asaka
    No trigger.
[19:14] Crowd
    Whoaaaa!
[19:17] Naoki
    He did it!
[19:19] Ren
    Aichi won, huh?
[19:21] Tetsu
    Without PSYqualia...
[19:24] Aichi
    Thank you for the game.
[19:27] Asaka
    Thank you... for the game...
[19:36] Suiko
    It was a close match, Asaka.
[19:47] Asaka
    It's so frustrating...
[19:49] Tetsu
    Even Ren had a hard time fighting him.
[19:51] Tetsu
    Don't fret over it.
[19:55] Tetsu
    Not even a fight against Asaka
    brought out his PSYqualia...
[19:59] Naoki
    That was great, Aichi!
[20:01] Aichi
    Thank you!
[20:03] Naoki
    All right!
[20:04] Naoki
    I'm up next!
[20:06] Kourin
    Uh...
[20:08] Shingo
    I'm the one who's up next!
[20:11] Naoki
    That's playin' dirty, Shingo!
[20:13] Shingo
    Who will be my opponent?!
[20:15] Kawanami
    I'll be your opponent.
[20:22] Kawanami
    My name is Minami Kawanami.
[20:24] Kawanami
    I used to fight for Team Asteroid,
    but now I'm a Dog Fighter!
[20:27] Misaki
    He's the guy who tried to take over Capital.
[20:30] Kourin
    Really?
[20:31] Kawanami
    I'll show you my animal power!
[20:38] Shingo
    Just what you'd expect of Fukuhara High!
[20:40] Shingo
    They have some terrifying Cardfighters!
[20:43] Kawanami
    Stand up, Woof-guard!
[20:46] Shingo
    Aieeeeee!
[20:51] Shingo
    I couldn't do a thing against him...
[20:53] Misaki
    Your troubles started before the fight began.
[20:57] Kourin
    That's one win and one loss.
[20:59] Kourin
    The next match will decide the winning team.
[21:01] Naoki
    This's my turn, for sure!
[21:04] Aichi
    Right!
[21:05] Aichi
    Good luck, Naoki!
[21:06] Naoki
    Thanks!
[21:07] Tetsu
    What about it, Tatsunagi? Want to fight him?
[21:11] Suiko
    Sure.
[21:16] Suiko
    I'll fight you.
[21:20] Naoki
    Kourin's fellow idol, huh?
[21:22] Naoki
    Are you as strong as her?
[21:24] Suiko
    You'll find out soon enough.
[21:27] Naoki
    I'm Naoki Ishida.
[21:30] Suiko
    Suiko Tatsunagi.
[21:31] Suiko
    Now, let's get started.
[21:35] The Two
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[23:10] The Two
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[23:12] Suiko
    Let's decide who goes first.
[23:14] Naoki
    Before that, there's something that bugs me.
[23:17] Suiko
    What is it?
[23:18] Naoki
    Ain't a sailor uniform
    kind of a stretch for you?
[23:21] Naoki
    You sure it suits you? Really?
[23:24] Naoki
    'Cause it don't.
    Just wear normal clothes.
[23:26] Suiko
    You say the funniest things, kid.
[23:28] Naoki
    But even the way you talk don't
    suit a sailor-suited high school girl.
[23:32] Suiko
    Meet me behind the school later.
[23:34] Suiko
    I'll treat you realllly nice...
