    For the sake of our future...

    Please, Rive!
[00:28] Rive
    All right.
[00:30] Rive
    We can't rewrite the imagination while
    afraid of challenging the unknown, huh, Ryuzu?

    Yeah, Chrono!

    Congralumations, Ninja Pasta!
[04:33] Mark
    No, not Ninja Pasta!
    Verily, I am Ninja Master!
[04:38] Mikuru
    Just two more victories,
    and you guys will win the Asia Circuit.
[04:42] Shin
    Yeah, but that's not the real goal.
[04:46] Shin
    If we win this, we'll be qualified
    to participate in the World Grand Prix.
[04:51] Shin
    For the first time ever, a Japanese team,
    our team, could become the best in the world.
[04:56] Shin
    That's why we changed our name
    from Team Capital to Team Nippon.

    It's time for work, Sub Manager.
[06:22] Shin
    "Manager"...
[06:29] Shin
    Welcome!
[06:30] Kid A
    Hey there, part-timer!
[06:32] Shin
    Who's a part-timer?! I'm the manager here!
[06:34] Kid A
    Apprentice, right?
[06:36] Shin
    Y-You could say that...
[06:38] Shin
    But once I graduate, I'll be the manager!
[06:41] Kid A
    Yeah, whatever. Let's fight!
[06:45] Shin
    Sure! I'll annihilate you.
[06:49] Shin
    I'll finish you off with Gleaming Lord, Uranus!

[06:57] Kid A
    All right! Heal trigger!
[06:59] Shin
    Wha...?!
[07:04] Kid A
    Wha...?!
[07:06] Shin
    It's your turn, guy!
[07:08] Esuka
    You call customers, "guy"?
[07:13] Shin
    E-Esu--
[07:15] Esuka
    "Esuka"?
[07:16] Shin
    I mean, Manager!
[07:22] Esuka
    Apprentice Manager, I'm not saying that
    you can't Cardfight with the customers.
[07:27] Esuka
    But what about your promise to finish
    taking inventory by the time I arrive?
[07:32] Shin
    Did I promise th--
[07:33] Esuka
    Yes, you did!
[07:42] Esuka
    You and I are entering into
    a contract, Shinemon Nitta.
[07:45] Esuka
    While you're on the world tour...
[07:48] Esuka
    ...I'll be managing this shop.
[07:51] Esuka
    I hope he can vindicate himself
    for not winning the world tour four years ago,
[07:57] Esuka
    with this year's World Grand Prix.
[07:59] Butler
    That is rather premature.
[08:01] Butler
    After all, they have yet
    to win the Asia Circuit.
[08:05] Esuka
    That's true.
[08:07] Butler
    Besides, Shinemon and his team
    performed quite well four years ago.
[08:13] Esuka
    But they didn't become the best in the world.
[08:16] Esuka
    Would you expect him
    to be satisfied with "almost best"?
[08:20] Butler
    An excellent point.
[08:22] Mark
    Hello!
[08:25] Shin
    Mark! Welcome!
[08:28] Shin
    How did your student teaching go?
[08:30] Mark
    It was fun, teaching Vanguard.
[08:34] Shin
    No, I meant student teaching
    for middle school students.
[08:38] Mark
    Of course! I did it with
    the help of these cards!

    Did the class turn out all right...?
[08:51] Mark
    It was a dream come true.
[08:53] Shin
    What dream?
[08:54] Mark
    To form a Vanguard club after getting hired!
[08:58] Shin
    I see.
[09:01] Mark
    Is something wrong, Shinemon?
[09:04] Shin
    No, I'm happy for your Cardfight Club!
[09:07] Shin
    Do me a favor and send your students to Capital!
[09:10] Mark
    I can't do that!
[09:12] Shin
    Why not?
[09:14] Mark
    Educators mustn't show favoritism
    to any particular shop!
[09:20] Shin
    Don't be so by the book.
[09:22] Mark
    No means no!
[09:23] Shin
    What about if I gave you a special card?
[09:25] Mark
    I still can't!
[09:29] Shin
    Great work today.
[09:35] Shin
    Carry you up there?!
[09:42] Shin
    I just can't anymore!
[09:47] Misaki
    Welcome back!
[09:50] Shin
    So you're here, Misaki.
[09:52] Shin
    You're staying for dinner, right?
[09:54] Misaki
    Yeah, I'm pretty hungry.
[09:59] Misaki
    It's so good!
[10:01] Shin
    You really should be eating my mom's cooking.
[10:04] Misaki
    But Grandma always makes
    more food than I can possibly eat.
[10:09] Misaki
    I could end up like your cat here.
[10:13] Shin
    I take your point.
[10:15] Shin
    I can't even give Sub Manager rides anymore.

    Two years ago today, there was
    a major explosion at Yumigatake,
SIGN    Two years since the meteorite impact
[10:26] Announcer
    referred to as "the Second Tunguska Event."
[10:30] Announcer
    A great number of people have gathered
    at the site today in memory of those
[10:35] Announcer
    who tragically lost their lives
    in the meteorite impact.
[10:42] Shin
    Did something happen?!
[10:44] Announcer
    And now this...
[10:53] Misaki
    You made it to the semifinals, right?
     Congratulations.
[10:56] Shin
    You don't have to congratulate me
    until I'm actually the best in the world.
[10:59] Misaki
    Yeah, yeah.
[11:02] Misaki
    Are you really going to
    retire after this tournament?
[11:08] Misaki
    You don't have to become
    the manager after graduation.
[11:11] Misaki
    You could leave the shop to Esuka--
[11:12] Shin
    Misaki, there aren't many
    world champions who run a shop.
[11:18] Shin
    Imagine how much publicity the title
    "Best in the World" would bring to Capital!
[11:23] Misaki
    Then you want to be the best in the world for...
[11:27] Shin
    Right. It's partly for Capital's sake.
[11:30] Misaki
    I see.
[11:33] Misaki
    I can get home fine from here. Goodnight!
[11:36] Shin
    Yeah, goodnight.
[11:40] Esuka
    The best in the world, huh?
[11:42] Butler
    What about it?
[11:44] Esuka
    Nothing.
[11:45] Butler
    If you say so.
[11:50] Esuka
    How could he retire when he has
    the talent to aim for those heights?
[12:05] Esuka
    It would be such a waste.
[12:23] Kanzaki
    Weak! Too weak!
[12:27] MC
    After two losses in a row for Team Daisetsuzan,
[12:31] MC
    Oyama chose to face off against Kanzaki,
    but he has unfortunately lost!
[12:36] MC
    Team SSS is going to the finals!
[12:40] Kanzaki
    Weakness is a sin! Begone, weakling!
[12:47] Oyama
    It's frustrating, but I had a really good time.
[12:50] Oyama
    Good luck!
[12:52] Kanzaki
    I don't need wishes of success from a weakling!
[12:56] Oyama
    What was that?!
[12:57] Oyama
    I've had about enough of your verbal abuse!
[13:01] Mikuru
    Your papa's match will start soon.

    In just a moment, the second
    semifinal match will begin!
SIGN    Rive Shindou Ruga Kaizu
[13:17] MC
    We know Ruga Kaizu and Rive Shindou were once
    a duo, known as the mighty "Flow Vanguard,"
[13:24] MC
    that traveled the country
    crushing powerhouse fighters,
[13:28] MC
    but their duel at the Esu Cup
    four years ago has become legend.
[13:35] MC
    You definitely won't want to miss the
    second coming that is this inevitable fight!
[13:41] Ruga
    This won't be a repeat
    of my failure four years ago!
[13:43] Ruga
    I'm gonna beat you and take back
    the title of "The Strongest"!
[14:03] MC
    It's time!
[14:04] MC
    Let the fight begin!

    Stand up, Vanguard!

[14:19] MC
    The clan is "Gear Chronicle."

    Gear Chronicle?
[14:24] MC
    Th-That card is new, even to me!
[14:30] Chrono
    What's with Pop?
[14:32] Mikuru
    Sorry, I don't know.
[14:35] Ruga
    Is that your recipe for defeating me?
[14:39] Rive
    That's not how I think of it.
[14:42] Ruga
    How long are you going to play dumb?
[14:44] Ruga
    I ride Blue Wave Soldier Senior, Beragios!
[14:48] Kanzaki
    What is Rive Shindou thinking?
[14:51] Nanami
    Don't ask me.
[14:52] Kanzaki
    I wasn't asking you. Just thinking out loud.
[14:57] MC
    Rive Shindou, the "Board Grappler,"
    has already taken 5 damage!
[15:02] MC
    Usually, that means it will end this turn...
[15:06] Rive
    This wasn't supposed to happen.
[15:08] Shin
    Master!
[15:09] Chrono
    Is Pop gonna lose?
[15:11] Mikuru
    I-It'll be fine! He's just warming up!
[15:14] Rive
    Chronojet Dragon attacks your Vanguard!
[15:18] Ruga
    I guard!
[15:19] MC
    Whoa! The attack didn't go through!
[15:22] MC
    Which means...
[15:25] Rive
    My turn is over.
[15:26] Ruga
    Why?!
[15:28] Ruga
    For the past four years, not a day's gone by
    without me longing for a rematch against you!
[15:34] Rive
    Then this is your lucky day.
[15:36] Ruga
    Silence!
[15:38] Ruga
    Last Card, Revonn attacks your Vanguard!
[15:43] Rive
    No guard.
[15:45] MC
    It's Rive Shindou's fateful damage check!
[15:50] MC
    Will he get a heal trigger?!
[15:55] Rive
    No trigger.
[16:00] Rive
    I lose.
[16:02] Ruga
    Unacceptable!
[16:03] Rive
    Ruga...
[16:04] Ruga
    Fight me once more, Rive!
[16:06] Ruga
    This time with Nova Grappler!
[16:08] Ruga
    Got it?! I wanna face Nova Grappler!
[16:08] Rive
    He's cracked...
[16:11] Chrono
    Pop lost?
[16:16] Ryuzu
    I suppose the time wasn't yet ripe.
[16:19] Mishima
    Well then...
[16:20] Ryuzu
    Yes. Let's go.
[16:23] Mikuru
    Aren't those two...?
[16:25] Chronicle
    Auntie Mikuru...
[16:28] Mikuru
    Just "Mikuru," remember?
[16:34] Mikuru
    I-It's fine, Chrono!
[16:36] Mikuru
    Shinemon and Mark's wins
    will make up for my dumb brother!
[16:40] Chrono
    Pop is dumb?!
[16:47] MC
    What's wrong with Ruga Kaizu?!
[16:49] Teammates
    Ruga!
[16:54] Ruga
    Sorry. I no longer have
    a reason to continue fighting.
[17:01] Mark
    Evil Stealth Dragon Akatsuki, Hanzo
    delivers the final stroke!
[17:18] MC
    He did it! Ninja Master has
    defeated two opponents in a row!
[17:23] MC
    Team Nippon is moving on to the finals!
[17:27] Crowd
    Nippon! Nippon! Champion!
[17:29] Crowd
    Nippon! Nippon! Champion! Champion!
[17:33] Shin
    What the heck were you doing?!
[17:35] Shin
    We managed to squeak by today,
    but we'll be facing Kanzaki in the finals!
[17:41] Shin
    If you fight like you did in there,
    there's no way we can win!
[17:44] Rive
    Yeah, I figured.
[17:46] Shin
    "I figured"?! Why are you so breezy?!
[17:50] Rive
    So here's the deal...
[17:54] Rive
    You two fight in the finals five days from now.
[17:59] Rive
    I've got something to do that day
    that I can't get out of, so please!
[18:05] Mikuru
    Dumbro, how can you be so irresponsible?!
[18:09] Shin
    She's right, Master!
[18:11] Mark
    What is this thing you can't get out of?
[18:13] Rive
    That's a secret.
[18:15] Shin
    That's not gonna wash!
[18:19] Rive
    Not so loud. You'll wake Chrono.
[18:23] Shin
    S-Sorry.
[18:25] Rive
    Well, I'm counting on you two.
[18:28] Rive
    Get me to the Grand Prix.
[18:33] Mark
    Could Rive be testing us?
[18:37] Mikuru
    I don't think so.
[18:40] Mikuru
    I bet it's all his fault.
[18:43] Shin
    His who?
[18:48] Mikuru
    I saw a man in a lab coat there today.
[18:53] Mikuru
    I'd seen him before, when he
    dropped off my brother on occasion.
[19:04] Rive
    Thank you.
[19:06] Mishima
    Good work.
[19:15] Shin
    Wait a second!
[19:17] Shin
    What's this about a lab coat?
[19:18] Mark
    Then he works at a laboratory?
[19:23] Mikuru
    Ack, I just remembered!
    He told me not to tell anyone!
[19:27] Mikuru
    My brother's been working at
    Ryuzu Laboratory for a long time now.
[19:34] Rive
    Oops, time for me to leave for work!
[19:36] Rive
    Well, I've gotta get to work.
[19:38] Rive
    Whoops! I have to get to work!
[19:40] Rive
    The match ends here.
[19:46] Shin
    So that's where he was going?
[19:50] Mark
    What kind of research do they do there?
[19:54] Mikuru
    It's on Vanguard.
[19:55] The Two
    Vanguard?!
[19:57] Mikuru
    Yeah, they do research into
    Vanguard Physical something-or-other.
[20:02] Mark
    Oh! Physical!
[20:04] Shin
    But why would he want you to keep it a secret?
[20:08] Mikuru
    He said, "I'm sure they would come to visit
    on a lark, which would be a pain in the butt."
[20:18] Shin
    All right, let's go!
[20:19] Mikuru
    There you go again, running off unthinkingly!
[20:22] Shin
    No, I'm not! I just don't
    buy that explanation he gave!
[20:26] Shin
    So I'm going there to ask
    his real reason for ditching us!
[20:29] Mark
    Then you'll need a driver!
[20:31] Shin
    Can I count on you, Mark?
[20:34] Mark
    Shinemon, if you're Maeda Keijiro,
    then I'll be your horse, Matsukaze!
[20:52] Shin
    Wh-What is this?
[20:54] Mikuru
    You remember the huge explosion
    at Yumigatake, don't you?
[20:58] Shin
    Yeah.
[21:00] Mark
    A meteorite landed, right?
[21:02] Mikuru
    This is the place.
[21:05] Shin
    Why would there be a Vanguard laboratory here?
[21:08] Mikuru
    Beats me.
[21:13] Shin
    It's not open to the public?
[21:16] Guard A
    That's right.
[21:17] Mikuru
    My big brother works here.
[21:20] Guard A
    I still can't let you in without permission.
[21:31] Guard B
    Hey, they got the go-ahead.
