[00:00] Tetsu
    Vanguard Koshien!
[00:02] All
    "Vanguard Koshien"?!
[00:05] Tetsu
    Fukuhara is a seeded school,
    so our participation is a given.
[00:10] Naoki
    I say we go for it!
[00:11] Shingo
    I agree! We'll show everyone how good we are!
[00:16] Aichi
    What's your opinion?
[00:19] Aichi
    Then, shall we also participate...
[00:23] Aichi
    ...in the Vanguard Koshien?!
[00:29] ULTRARARE
    Stand up, Vanguard Koshien!
[00:32] Rekka
    Our Vanguard high school championship
    is about to be reborn, in a brand-new guise!
[00:37] Kourin
    The qualifying matches
    will soon be held all across Japan!
[00:41] Suiko
    High schools are to compete with other
    in team fights that will test friendships!
[00:45] ULTRARARE
    We await your participation!
SIGN    Vanguard Koshien
[00:54] Kai
    I'm not interested.
[00:59] Morikawa
    C'mon, at least join our Cardfight Club
    to do the Vanguard Koshien!
[01:05] Morikawa
    We need your help so that
    Kourin will give me a trophy,
[01:09] Morikawa
    just like she did for Aichi...
[01:12] Miwa
    That's why you want him?
[01:14] Miwa
    Not that I care, but you should
    be more polite with your elders,
[01:17] Miwa
    Morikawa of the Cardfight Club.
[01:19] Morikawa
    Please wait, Kai!
[01:23] Kai
    You'll be taking part in the Vanguard Koshien?
[01:26] Aichi
    Yeah!
[01:27] Kai
    I see.
[01:29] Aichi
    Wait, you too, Kai?
[01:31] Morikawa
    You'd assume he was, right?
[01:34] Morikawa
    But he shot me down,
    even after I asked nicely.
[01:38] Aichi
    So you're not?
[01:40] Kai
    That's enough chitchat.
[01:43] Kai
    Ride The Vanguard!
[01:45] Kai
    Dragonic Overlord!
[01:53] Kai
    Let's go!
[02:06] Aichi
    I'm now a student at Miyaji Academy,
[02:09] Aichi
    and have decided to start a Cardfight Club.
[02:14] Aichi
    I've got to imagine it!
[02:17] Aichi
    I'm sure my imagination will take shape!
SIGN    Image 34 Another Vanguard
[03:57] Kai
    Dragonic Overlord,
    boosted by Flame of Hope, Aermo,
[04:00] Kai
    attacks your Vanguard!
[04:03] Kai
    Aermo's skill activates. +3000 power.
[04:06] Aichi
    I guard with Flogal and
    Bringer of Good Luck, Epona!
[04:11] Aichi
    On top of that, I intercept with Blaster Blade!
[04:17] Naoki
    Whoa, Aichi's seriously fired up.
[04:20] Kamui
    Well, but isn't this a special case?
[04:22] Kamui
    See, for Brother Aichi,
    Kai is like his vanguard.
[04:29] Naoki
    So he's Aichi's vanguard...
[04:32] Kamui
    Yeah, but...
[04:33] Kamui
    Everyone else who comes to this shop
[04:36] Kamui
    probably thinks of Aichi as their vanguard.
[04:40] Kamui
    Including me, of course.
[04:42] Naoki
    Ya don't say. So everyone else's like me.
SIGN    Sub Manager
[04:45] Kamui
    Well, what do you say to another match?
[04:48] Naoki
    You're on!
[04:50] Shin
    I'm looking forward to the Vanguard Koshien.
[04:57] Kai
    Is something wrong, Aichi?
[05:00] Aichi
    Well...
[05:01] Aichi
    The other day, our Cardfight Club
     visited Fukuhara High School...
[05:05] Miwa
    Fukuhara? Where Ren goes?
[05:08] Aichi
    Right.
[05:09] Kai
    Is Ren doing well?
[05:11] Aichi
    Yeah.
[05:12] Aichi
    But afterwards...
[05:15] Aichi
    ...we encountered someone
    who was very interested in Blaster Blade.
[05:19] Kouji
    Do you actually have Blaster Blade?
[05:23] Aichi
    Huh?
[05:26] Kouji
    Well? Do you?!
[05:28] Aichi
    Y-Yes. I have it.
[05:34] Kouji
    This takes me back...
[05:38] Kouji
    And where did you get this card?
[05:41] Aichi
    Um, er... a f-friend gave it to me.
[05:45] Kouji
    Your wimpiness makes me sick.
[05:52] Aichi
    S-Sorry...
[05:53] Naoki
    Hey! What're you insultin' him for?!
[05:56] Aichi
    N-Naoki!
[05:57] Kouji
    I'm amazed you can stand
    the company of a milksop like him.
[06:01] Naoki
    No more insulting Aichi!
[06:06] Aichi
    A-Are you okay, Naoki?
[06:08] Naoki
    Ow...
[06:10] Aichi
    You shouldn't hit people
    over something so minor.
[06:13] Naoki
    "So minor"?!
[06:16] Misaki
    He may have been wrong to resort to violence.
[06:19] Misaki
    But I also won't just stand here and
    let you badmouth one of my teammates!
[06:23] Shingo
    Anyone who dares to
    insult Sendou will face my wrath!
[06:26] Kouji
    Oh?
[06:27] Kouji
    Impressive, you have even more
    teammates standing up for you.
[06:31] Kouji
    Thank you for showing me this.
[06:35] Aichi
    Oh, no problem.
[06:37] Kouji
    I apologize for insulting you.
[06:40] Naoki
    Hold it!
[06:42] Naoki
    Tell us who you are!
[06:44] Shingo
    I-I believe you're supposed to give
    your name first in these situations...
[06:48] Naoki
    Oh, right...
[06:49] Naoki
    I'm Naoki Ishida!
[06:52] Kouji
    Kouji Ibuki.
[06:55] Kai
    Kouji Ibuki?!
[06:57] Aichi
    Huh?
[06:58] Miwa
    H-Hey, Kai. Wasn't Ibuki...?
[07:02] Aichi
    Kai? Do you and Miwa know him?
[07:04] Kai
    Yeah.
[07:06] Kai
    Ibuki is the vanguard for both of us!
[07:15] Kouji
    This feels so nostalgic...
[07:17] Tetsu
    How long do you intend to follow me?
[07:20] Suiko
    I just want a private lesson
    with you, Coach Tetsu,
[07:23] Suiko
    so I can become even stronger.
[07:25] Tetsu
    You have admirable spirit for an idol, but...
[07:32] Tetsu
    Kouji Ibuki, I presume?
[07:34] Kouji
    And you are?
[07:37] Tetsu
    I'm Tetsu Shinjou.
[07:39] Tetsu
    I'm the coach of Fukuhara High's Vanguard Club.
[07:43] Kouji
    I've beaten all the underlings,
[07:46] Kouji
    which means the upper echelon appears?
[07:49] Kouji
    I'll tell you one thing.
[07:51] Kouji
    If you're going to shadow someone,
    do a better job of it.
[07:58] Tetsu
    I had the best of our former
    Team Asteroid members tailing you.
[08:04] Kouji
    I've never heard of Team Asteroid.
[08:07] Kouji
    I only started playing Vanguard recently.
[08:10] Tetsu
    Just recently?!
[08:13] Kouji
    More or less.
[08:14] Kouji
    While I'd played it a bit before,
    I'm just now getting back in the game.
[08:18] Kouji
    That's all I have to say, so can I go?
[08:22] Tetsu
    Wait!
[08:26] Tetsu
    I'm not done talking to you.
[08:32] Tetsu
    Kishida.
[08:33] Kishida
    Yes?
[08:33] Tetsu
    What happened to you?
[08:41] Kishida
    What are these for?
[08:45] Tetsu
    Not again?
[08:48] Tetsu
    Why has every member you've fought
    lost all interest in Vanguard?
[08:54] Kouji
    Beats me.
[08:56] Tetsu
    Then I'll get to the
    bottom of this by fighting you!
[09:04] Tetsu
    Two Vanguard fighters meet by chance.
[09:07] Tetsu
    For them to part without a fight is unheard of.
[09:10] Kouji
    Is that right?
[09:11] Kouji
    This is how it has to go?
[09:13] Kouji
    Fine, then. Let's have a Vanguard fight.
[09:39] Tetsu
    Kouji Ibuki...
[09:41] Tetsu
    Is he a fighter who'd prove a good
    challenge for our captain, Ren Suzugamori?
[09:45] Kouji
    To think I'd be fighting here again...
[09:50] Kouji
    Stand up, The Vanguard!
[09:50] Tetsu
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[09:54] Tetsu
    I ride!
[09:58] Tetsu
    Vermillion Gatekeeper!
[10:01] Kouji
    I ride!
[10:04] Kouji
    Sprout Deletor, Luchi.
[10:11] Tetsu
    What?
[10:12] Tetsu
    Sprout Deletor, Luchi?
[10:14] Tetsu
    I don't recognize that unit.
[10:51] Miwa
    You regret turning them down
    for the Vanguard Koshien, don't you?
[10:55] Kai
    N-No...
[10:56] Miwa
    You can't hide it from me!
[10:58] Miwa
    So then, how are you gonna
    humble yourself before Morikawa?
[11:03] Kai
    Say, Miwa...
[11:06] Miwa
    Don't try changing the subject!
[11:08] Kai
    What happened to Ibuki after I moved?
[11:11] Miwa
    Huh?
[11:13] Miwa
    That's strange. He usually
    hates talking about the past.
[11:18] Miwa
    Well, the thing about Ibuki...
[11:21] Kai
    What's wrong?
[11:23] Miwa
    I can't remember what happened!
[11:26] Kai
    Some friend you are.
[11:27] Miwa
    H-Hey, I got really depressed
    after you moved away suddenly!
[11:31] Miwa
    Besides, Ibuki and I went
    to different middle schools.
[11:35] Miwa
    And you're the last guy who gets to
    criticize someone for being a crummy friend.
[11:40] Miwa
    Uh, hold on!
[11:41] Miwa
    I do remember that, from the time Ibuki
    taught us Vanguard until you moved away,
[11:47] Miwa
    we all had a blast with it!
[11:51] Kai
    That's right.
[11:52] Kai
    Ibuki's the one who
    taught us how to play Vanguard.
[12:08] Young Miwa
    Wake up, Kai!
[12:10] Young Miwa
    Kai!
[12:11] Young Miwa
    Hey, come on!
[12:14] Young Kai
    Miwa...?
[12:15] Young Miwa
    You're napping here again?
[12:18] Young Kai
    Well, I've got nothing better to do.
[12:20] Young Miwa
    What about that video game?
[12:22] Young Kai
    I got bored. It felt more like work.
[12:25] Young Kai
    Who's the skinny kid?
[12:27] Young Miwa
    Huh?
[12:28] Young Miwa
    He's Ibuki, from our class! Kouji Ibuki!
[12:32] Young Kai
    From our class?
[12:34] Young Kai
    S-Sorry. I have a bad memory.
[12:37] Young Kouji
    Th-That's okay. I don't really stand out.
[12:41] Young Miwa
    Ibuki said he'd teach me a new game,
[12:44] Young Miwa
    so I wanted you in on it, too.
[12:46] Young Kai
    A new game?
[12:50] Young Kai
    It's called "Vanguard," huh?
[12:53] Young Kouji
    W-Well, let's try an actual game.
[12:57] Young Kai
    Sure.
[12:58] Young Kouji
    Stand up the Vanguard!
[13:01] Young Kai
    S-Stand up the Vanguard!
[13:07] Young Kai
    I haven't won once!
[13:09] Young Kouji
    S-Sorry!
[13:11] Young Kouji
    I felt so happy, that I got carried away...
[13:14] Young Kai
    I'm leaving!
[13:15] Young Kouji
    Huh?
[13:16] Young Kai
    I can't win with some borrowed deck.
[13:21] Young Kouji
    Wh-What should I do?
    It's my fault for not letting him win...
[13:26] Young Miwa
    Nah, you did fine, Ibuki.
[13:28] Young Kouji
    B-But, Miwa...
[13:29] Young Miwa
    Don't worry! It'll work out.
[13:32] Young Kouji
    Huh?
[13:34] Young Miwa
    Now teach me to play!
[13:45] Young Kai
    None of these really grab me...
[13:49] Young Kai
    Huh?
[13:51] Young Kai
    What's this?
[13:57] Young Kai
    This is it!
[13:59] Young Kai
    My imagination just exploded!
[14:01] Young Kai
    I'll show him!
[14:06] Young Kai
    Ibuki!
[14:09] Young Kai
    Let's have a Vanguard fight!
[14:12] Young Miwa
    Told you.
[14:15] Young Kouji
    Sure!
[14:19] The Two
    Stand up the Vanguard!
[14:22] Young Kai
    I ride Glyme!
[14:26] Young Kouji
    Glyme...
[14:28] Young Kouji
    Royal Paladin, huh?
[14:29] Young Kai
    Yeah.
[14:31] Young Kai
    Vanguard is so much fun!
[14:38] Young Kai
    All the different cards stir my imagination,
[14:40] Young Kai
    making their images pop out,
    one right after the other.
[14:43] Young Kai
    But this is the card that really
    made my imagination explode.
[14:47] Young Kai
    Ride the Vanguard!
[15:01] Young Miwa
    What's wrong, Ibuki?
[15:02] Young Kouji
    Th-That's an incredibly rare card!
[15:05] Young Miwa
    Huh...
[15:08] Young Kai
    Here I come!
[15:12] Young Kouji
    6 damage...
[15:14] Young Kouji
    I lost.
[15:16] Young Kai
    All right!
[15:17] Young Miwa
    You did it, Kai!
[15:19] Young Miwa
    I'm up next.
[15:21] Young Kai
    Hold on. I wanna play Ibuki again.
[15:23] Young Miwa
    What the hey?!
[15:25] Young Kai
    C'mon, lemme play him again!
[15:25] Young Miwa
    No, me! I'm playing next!
[15:29] Young Kouji
    Kai, Miwa...
[15:33] Young Kouji
    Thank you. I didn't know
    Vanguard could be this much fun.
[15:37] Young Miwa
    What're you talking about, Ibuki?!
[15:39] Young Miwa
    You kept something this fun
    all to yourself all this time!
[15:42] Young Kai
    Besides, we're the ones
    who should be grateful. So, thanks.
[15:47] Young Kouji
    It's so nice getting to introduce
    something I love to other people.
[15:53] Miwa
    I'm glad Ibuki kept
    playing Vanguard after that.
[15:56] Kai
    Me too.
[15:58] Kai
    But...
[15:59] Miwa
    But what?
[16:01] Kai
    After talking with Aichi's team...
[16:03] Kai
    The way they described Ibuki has me concerned.
[16:06] Kouji
    My turn is over.
[16:10] Tetsu
    Ferment Deletor, Gaen...
[16:13] Tetsu
    Bloating Deletor, Gio...
[16:15] Tetsu
    Swift Deletor, Geali...
[16:18] Tetsu
    I've never seen any of these units before.
[16:20] Tetsu
    What exactly is a "Deletor"?
[16:23] Kouji
    What's wrong?
[16:27] Tetsu
    I ride!
[16:28] Tetsu
    King of Masks, Dantarian!
[16:32] Tetsu
    Imaginary Gift! Protect!
[16:35] Tetsu
    I call!
[16:37] Tetsu
    Gwynn the Ripper!
[16:41] Tetsu
    Skill activates!
[16:42] Tetsu
    Soul Charge!
[16:46] Tetsu
    Doreen the Thruster's skill activates!
[16:50] Tetsu
    I call one more Gwynn unit!
[16:57] Tetsu
    Soul Charge!
[17:01] Kouji
    Well, well...
[17:03] Tetsu
    That's not all!
[17:04] Tetsu
    Dantarian's skill activates!
[17:10] Tetsu
    Let's get 'em, guys!
[17:16] Tetsu
    Next is my turn!
[17:19] Kouji
    Asteroid Wolf.
[17:25] Kouji
    Gio.
[17:32] Gwynn
    I'll put you out of your misery!
[17:41] Tetsu
    Is that your best?
[17:42] Tetsu
    This level of play wouldn't hold any interest
[17:45] Tetsu
    for Ren Suzugamori,
    the captain of our Vanguard Club.
[17:49] Kouji
    What's this?
[17:50] Kouji
    You're fighting for someone else's sake?
[17:54] Kouji
    How stupid can you be?
[17:56] Kouji
    Can you really have a serious showdown
    when you're not fighting for yourself?
[18:00] Tetsu
    PSYqualia?!
[18:02] Kouji
    I won't lose to someone
    who's only fighting for a friend.
[18:06] Kouji
    Ride The Vanguard!
[18:15] Kouji
    Docking Deletor, Greion!
[18:19] Tetsu
    Another Deletor?!
[18:22] Kouji
    Counterblast!
[18:24] Kouji
    Its skill activates!
[18:27] Tetsu
    What?!
[18:31] Tetsu
    Dantarian!
[18:32] Tetsu
    I-It can't be!
[18:34] Tetsu
    The unit I was riding got ripped away?!
[18:37] Kouji
    I delete Dantarian.
[18:45] Tetsu
    "Delete"?!
[18:47] Kouji
    That's right. This one eradicates Vanguards.
[18:51] Kouji
    It's a super-powered being from
    the planet Cray, as well as my avatar!
[18:55] Kouji
    Docking Deletor, Greion!
[19:11] Tetsu
    My Vanguard...
[19:13] Kouji
    That's right.
[19:15] Kouji
    A deleted Vanguard loses all
    of its skills and has zero power.
[19:20] Kouji
    Right now, you're just a feeble astral body.
[19:29] Tetsu
    I have a Protect in hand,
[19:30] Tetsu
    but I still have only 3 damage.
[19:34] Tetsu
    No guard!
[19:36] Kouji
    That takes nerve!
[19:38] Kouji
    However...
[19:42] Kouji
    Twin drive.
[19:43] Kouji
    First check.
[19:45] Kouji
    Critical trigger.
[19:47] Kouji
    Second check.
[19:50] Tetsu
    A double critical?!
[19:52] Kouji
    Once I erase you, it'll all be over.
[19:54] Kouji
    Delete End!
[20:06] Tetsu
    I lost...
[20:22] Kouji
    That was a seriously lame and boring fight.
[20:26] Kouji
    But maybe now I'll be free
    of your annoying club invitations?
[20:32] Kouji
    If so, it was worth it.
[20:34] Tetsu
    Kouji Ibuki...
[20:36] Tetsu
    Just what are those Deletor units of yours?
[20:40] Kouji
    I don't know just what these units are.
[20:44] Kouji
    And I don't care.
[20:46] Kouji
    But thanks to these Deletors,
    I'm now a Vanguard fighter again.
[20:54] Kouji
    Even though I hated Vanguard with a passion...
[21:10] Suiko
    Coach Tetsu!
[21:12] Suiko
    Are you okay?
[21:16] Suiko
    Coach Tetsu...
[21:19] Tetsu
    My connection with the cards has been severed.
[21:23] Suiko
    Huh?
[23:11] Suiko
    Wait, what did you do to Coach Tetsu?
[23:14] Kouji
    And you are?
[23:15] Suiko
    Oh my, don't you recognize me?
[23:18] Kouji
    Why should I? You're awfully conceited.
[23:21] Suiko
    Well, I do appear on TV quite a bit.
[23:24] Kouji
    I don't watch TV.
[23:25] Suiko
    Oh, really? That's too bad.
[23:26] Kouji
    May I ask one question?
[23:27] Suiko
    What is it?
[23:28] Kouji
    Are you sure you should be
    wearing a sailor uniform?
[23:31] Suiko
    Not... not you, too?!
[23:34] Suiko
    Don't tell me this will be a running gag!
