[00:04] ULTRARARE
    Stand up, Vanguard Koshien!
[00:06] Rekka
    Our Vanguard high school championship
    is about to be reborn, in a brand-new guise!
[00:11] Kourin
    The qualifying matches
    will soon be held all across Japan!
[00:15] Suiko
    High schools are to compete with each other
    in team fights that will test friendships!
[00:19] ULTRARARE
    We await your participation!
[00:25] Emi
    I see this ad on TV a lot.
[00:27] Aichi
    Good morning, Emi.
[00:28] Emi
    Good morning.
[00:30] Emi
    Aren't you and your friends
    competing in the Vanguard Koshien?
[00:33] Aichi
    Yeah.
[00:34] Emi
    I wish I could...
[00:36] Aichi
    Well, it's a high school tournament.
[00:38] Emi
    So lucky...
[00:40] Emi
    All of the Cardfight Club members,
    fighting together as they strive for victory...
[00:47] Aichi
    All of the Cardfight Club, huh...
[00:51] Kourin
    What do you think you're doing?
[00:53] Aichi
    Well, you see...
[00:54] Aichi
    This school doesn't have a Cardfight club...
[00:57] Kourin
    That sounds tough.
[00:59] Aichi
    It is.
[01:00] Aichi
    According to the rules,
[01:02] Aichi
    if I can't get at least five members,
[01:04] Aichi
    the Student Council
    won't recognize it as a club.
[01:07] Kourin
    So? How many do you have so far?
[01:09] Aichi
    It's still just me.
[01:11] Kourin
    Fine.
[01:12] Kourin
    In that case, I'll join the Cardfight Club.
[01:15] Aichi
    Huh?
[01:16] Kourin
    I'll be your first member!
[01:20] Aichi
    The Miyaji Academy Cardfight Club
    began with Kourin's words that day.
[01:26] Emi
    Huh? But wait...
[01:28] Emi
    Can Kourin even participate as a player?
[01:32] Aichi
    Huh?
[01:32] Emi
    ULTRARARE is an official supporter
    of the Vanguard Koshien, right?
[01:37] ULTRARARE
    We'll do our utmost to support you!
SIGN    Vanguard Koshien
[01:41] Emi
    You'd think she'd be too busy...
[01:47] Aichi
    I'm now a student at Miyaji Academy,
[01:50] Aichi
    and have decided to start a Cardfight Club.
[01:55] Aichi
    I've got to imagine it!
[01:58] Aichi
    I'm sure my imagination will take shape!
SIGN    Image 35 Concert Master, Takuto
[03:44] Suiko
    You look tired.
[03:48] Rekka
    Well, of course.
[03:49] Rekka
    Not only is Kou busy with
    our Vanguard Koshien work,
[03:53] Rekka
    she's also in a Cardfight club.
[03:55] Suiko
    Oh? But I'm a member
    of a Cardfight club myself.
[03:59] Rekka
    For you, Su, that's a "duty."
[04:02] Rekka
    But it's not for Kou...
[04:03] Kourin
    Huh?
[04:05] Suiko
    Why don't you skip school today?
[04:07] Kourin
    Forget it!
[04:08] Kourin
    I don't have work, so I definitely have to go!
[04:11] Kourin
    That's the way it is with school!
[04:15] Kourin
    That's what Takuto said!
[04:22] Ushimaru
    I'm surprised but relieved
    that you're enjoying school.
[04:29] Kourin
    Enjoying it, huh?
[04:41] Student
    Good morning!
[04:45] Kourin
    G-Good morning, everyone.
[04:48] StudentA
    I saw the Vanguard Koshien commercial!
[04:50] StudentA
    You gave off such an idol vibe!
[04:52] StudentB
    I wanna try out for the Cardfight Club again!
[04:52] Kourin
    Thank you!
[04:58] Aichi
    Kourin...
[05:00] Ushimaru
    Mr. Sendou.
[05:02] Ushimaru
    Good morning.
[05:03] Aichi
    G-Good morning.
[05:06] Aichi
    You're, um...
[05:07] Ushimaru
    I'm employed by the Tatsunagi family
     as Kourin's assistant.
[05:12] Ushimaru
    My name is Ushimaru.
[05:13] Aichi
    Ms. Ushimaru...
[05:16] Ushimaru
    Kourin is exhausted from working hard lately.
[05:22] Ushimaru
    Mr. Sendou, Kourin has placed her trust
    in you, the captain of the Cardfight Club.
[05:27] Ushimaru
    Please take good care of her.
[05:31] Suiko
    I ask the same of you.
[05:32] Rekka
    Me too!
[05:35] Aichi
    O-Of course!
[05:40] Aichi
    Kourin really is busy...
[05:49] Student
    You're so cute!
[05:51] Kourin
    Am I? Thank you.
[05:54] Shingo
    Good morning, Sendou!
[05:56] Aichi
    Good morning.
[05:58] Aichi
    Kourin is surrounded.
[06:01] Shingo
    That she is...
[06:02] Aichi
    She's exhausted, so we need
    to let her take it easy at school.
[06:06] Shingo
    You're as kind as ever!
[06:08] Shingo
    But what to do here...
[06:11] StudentA
    The Vanguard Koshien
    is a huge tournament, right?
[06:14] StudentB
    Will you fight, despite working there?
[06:17] Shingo
    It doesn't look like
    Kourin will get a chance to rest.
[06:21] Aichi
    E-Excuse me, everyone!
[06:24] Aichi
    E-Excuse me...
[06:27] Shingo
    I-I'll try, too!
[06:31] Naoki
    Shaddup, you dweebs!
[06:34] Naoki
    Quit makin' a racket over there.
[06:37] Naoki
    Break it up!
[06:38] Naoki
    Get lost!
[06:41] Naoki
    Hey.
[06:41] Kourin
    Good morning, Naoki.
[06:43] Naoki
    What's with them?
[06:45] Shingo
    Not bad for Ishida...
[06:47] Aichi
    Good job.
[06:48] Aichi
    Good morning, Naoki and Kourin.
[06:51] Naoki
    Hey, Aichi and Shingo.
[06:53] Shingo
    Good morning.
[06:56] Shingo
    He has a scary face,
[06:57] Shingo
    and goes off on people like a mad dog,
[06:59] Shingo
    but it is true that he's dependable.
[07:02] Shingo
    His Vanguard ability is
    nothing to sneeze at, either.
[07:06] The Two
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[07:10] Naoki
    First...
[07:12] Naoki
    I ride!
[07:13] Aichi
    Just a moment, Ishida.
[07:16] Aichi
    You forgot to draw first.
[07:18] Naoki
    Wha...?!
[07:20] Shingo
    At first, I was surprised by
    how much of a beginner he was.
[07:20] Naoki
    I meant to do that!
[07:22] Naoki
    I thought it'd help break the ice.
[07:25] Naoki
    I ride!
[07:26] Naoki
    Great Composure Dragon!
[07:29] Kourin
    You're a beginner, aren't you?
[07:32] Kourin
    Do you know the true worth of that unit?
[07:36] Naoki
    Yeah, I know its worth.
[07:38] Naoki
    It's what's gonna
    break me outta my boring life!
[07:43] Naoki
    Recklessness Dragon!
[07:45] Naoki
    Its skill activates! Counterblast!
[07:50] Naoki
    I bind Sagramore!
[07:53] Misaki
    Its skill is simple, but strong.
[07:56] Misaki
    Pros like that unit.
[07:58] Kourin
    I won't let Great Composure walk all over me!
[08:02] Kourin
    One blow will end this!
[08:07] Shingo
    That brings Naoki Ishida to 5 damage.
[08:12] Gareth
    Now!
[08:14] Naoki
    Zephyr Kid, Hayate!
[08:17] Naoki
    Lizard Soldier, Riki!
[08:21] Beaumains
    The final blow!
[08:24] Naoki
    I'm countin' on you!
[08:25] Naoki
    Hayate! Thunderstorm Dragoon!
[08:30] Aichi
    He blocked it!
[08:32] Naoki
    Aichi...
[08:35] Naoki
    Vanguard's...
[08:37] Naoki
    ...so much fun!
[08:41] Aichi
    Yeah!
[08:43] Naoki
    C'mere!
[08:44] Naoki
    Lizard Soldier, Riki!
[08:47] Naoki
    Riki's skill activates!
[08:51] Naoki
    The opponent's front row and back row switch!
[08:55] Shingo
    Her front row's opened up!
[08:57] Misaki
    Now Great Composure will power up.
[09:04] Naoki
    Here we go!
[09:11] Kourin
    Halo Shield, Mark!
[09:13] Kourin
    Perfect guard!
[09:15] Naoki
    Drive check!
[09:16] Naoki
    I got a front trigger!
[09:20] Naoki
    Finish her off, Recklessness Dragon!
[09:29] Naoki
    What're you grinnin' for?
[09:32] Shingo
    N-Nothing!
[09:36] Naoki
    What's with him?
[09:48] Boy
    You members of ULTRARARE
    aren't actually sisters, are you?
[09:52] Kourin
    No...
[09:53] Girl
    Really? You're not?!
[09:53] Shingo
    It's no wonder that her assistant is worried.
[09:57] Naoki
    She's gotta deal with that
    even during our free period.
[10:00] Shingo
    What a nuisance.
[10:03] Aichi
    Say, Naoki and Shingo...
[10:06] Naoki
    Huh?
[10:06] Shingo
    Yes?
[10:08] Aichi
    I'd like you two to help me.
[10:10] Aichi
    Listen...
[10:13] Naoki
    All right! Let's give it a shot!
[10:16] Shingo
    You can leave it to us!
[10:20] Aichi
    I'm counting on you.
[10:32] Student
    What do you do in the Cardfight Club?
[10:35] Kourin
    It's a Cardfight Club,
     so we have Cardfights...
[10:39] Shingo
    Pardon me!
[10:41] Shingo
    All of you who are interested in Vanguard!
[10:44] Shingo
    The Cardfight Club,
     of which Kourin is a member,
[10:47] Shingo
    will take the liberty
    of using this lunch break...
SIGN    What is Vanguard?!
[10:51] Shingo
    ...to hold a Vanguard seminar!
[10:55] Kourin
    What on earth?
[10:59] Aichi
    Kourin, come with me.
SIGN    What is Vanguard?! What is Vanguard Koshien?! What is ULTRARARE?!
[11:02] Shingo
    First of all, Vanguard is...
[11:05] Student
    Why isn't Kourin explaining it?!
[11:07] Naoki
    That ain't the idol's job!
[11:10] Students
    Awww...
[11:12] Naoki
    This kinda job's for us low-level drones.
[11:14] Shingo
    Precisely, everyone. It's for us drones...
[11:18] Shingo
    Who are you calling a drone?!
[11:20] Naoki
    Huh? You finally noticed?
[11:22] Kourin
    What is it, Aichi?
[11:24] Aichi
    Just come with me!
[11:28] Shingo
    In any case, listen!
[11:30] Shingo
    First of all, Vanguard is a card game
[11:33] Shingo
    that takes place on the fictional planet Cray,
    a world with a strong resemblance to Earth.
[11:38] Shingo
    Since it's an imaginary place,
[11:40] Shigo
    we can't visit the planet Cray ourselves.
[11:43] Shingo
    To get there, you have to
    become a spirit: a frail astral body.
[11:48] Shingo
    It's important that
    you imagine yourself being there.
[11:53] Student
    Imagine?
[11:55] Shingo
    Yes! Imagine it!
[11:56] Shingo
    It's no exaggeration for me to say that
    that will determine a Vanguard's strength!
[12:01] Naoki
    Talkin' like a big shot...
[12:03] Naoki
    But his Vanguard knowledge's the real deal.
[12:07] Naoki
    If it weren't...
[12:08] The Two
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[12:12] Shingo
    I ride!
[12:15] Shingo
    Covert Demonic Dragon, Magatsu Storm!
[12:19] Naoki
    ...his fight with me
    wouldn't have ended like that.
[12:22] Naoki
    With a boost from Red River Dragoon,
     Recklessness Dragon'll finish you off!
[12:34] Shingo
    The great Sendou may be
    trying to form a Cardfight Club,
[12:38] Shingo
    but I refuse to stand by when
    a mad dog like you becomes a member!
[12:42] Shingo
    Chigasumi attacks your Vanguard!
[12:44] Shingo
    Its skill activates!
[12:46] Naoki
    Hayate!
[12:51] Naoki
    Damage check!
[12:53] Naoki
    All right! I got a front trigger!
[12:58] Shingo
    Ninja Art, Evil Eye Prison!
[13:03] Naoki
    It's no use!
[13:04] Naoki
    Right now, Vermillion's got 22,000 power!
[13:07] Naoki
    Voidmaster's 15,000
    ain't enough to get through!
[13:11] Shingo
    I realize that.
[13:13] Shingo
    With Voidmaster’s post-battle skill,
[13:16] Shingo
    I can return one rear-guard unit
     to my hand by using a Counterblast.
[13:20] Shingo
    That unit is Chigasumi.
[13:22] Shingo
    Magatsu Storm's skill activates!
[13:25] Naoki
    What?!
[13:26] Shingo
    With Magatsu Storm,
    when a rear-guard returns to my hand,
[13:29] Shingo
    if I then Soul Blast a grade 3,
[13:32] Shingo
    I can superior call three rear-guards!
[13:35] Naoki
    Say what?!
[13:37] Kourin
    Not only that, each of those
     three units gets +5000 power!
[13:41] Shingo
    I'm depending on you!
[13:43] Magatsu
    At your will!
[13:55] Shingo
    Why are you daydreaming?
[13:58] Shingo
    I swear, you're absolutely useless.
[14:01] Naoki
    S-Say what?!
[14:02] Shingo
    Therefore...
[14:03] Shingo
    in order to find a clan that suits you,
[14:06] Shingo
    you should try using a variety of clans.
[14:06] Naoki
    Ignoring me?!
[14:09] Shingo
    Each clan has its own specialties.
[14:30] Misaki
    Kourin...
[14:36] Misaki
    What's going on?
[14:38] Kourin
    Aichi told me you would be here.
[14:41] Misaki
    Huh?
[14:42] Kourin
    You always read during lunch break.
[14:46] Kourin
    He said I could relax if I'm with you.
[14:48] Misaki
    Aichi's keeping tabs on me at weird times...
[14:53] Misaki
    You seem pretty busy.
[14:55] Kourin
    Yeah, well...
[15:00] Misaki
    Do you think you'll be able to
    participate in the Vanguard Koshien?
[15:04] Kourin
    That goes without saying.
[15:06] Kourin
    I'm a member of the Cardfight Club...
[15:10] Kourin
    ...so I'll definitely play...
[15:12] Kourin
    ...with our team...
[15:15] Misaki
    Right.
[15:19] Misaki
    If it hadn't been for you,
[15:21] Misaki
    I doubt that I would've
    ever joined the Cardfight Club.
[15:28] The Two
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[15:31] Kourin
    If I beat you, you have to join the Cardfight Club.
[15:35] Kourin
    If you don't want that to happen,
    do everything in your power to beat me.
[15:38] Misaki
    I ride!
[15:39] Misaki
    Hexagonal Magus!
[15:42] Misaki
    The thread of fate leads me here,
    to where my comrades gather!
[15:48] Kourin
    Please, Dantegal!
[15:51] Tetra
    Let's destroy them, Sister!
[15:53] Hexagonal
    Yes, indeed.
[16:01] Kourin
    I'm not giving up yet!
[16:06] Kourin
    It's my turn.
[16:08] Kourin
    Gareth and Viviane attack your Vanguard!
[16:14] Kourin
    With a boost from Mark,
    I attack your Vanguard!
[16:17] Kourin
    Blond Ezel's skill activates!
[16:20] Kourin
    I superior call Battlefield Storm, Sagramore!
[16:24] Kourin
    Sagramore's Soul Blast!
[16:27] Kourin
    I draw one card.
[16:29] Kourin
    I superior call
    Knight of Elegant Skills, Gareth!
[16:34] Misaki
    Imaginary Gift! Protect!
[16:37] Kourin
    Twin drive.
[16:39] Kourin
    First check.
[16:43] Kourin
    Second check.
[16:51] Naoki
    Whoa!
[16:52] Shingo
    A double trigger!
[16:54] Kourin
    It appears your thread of fate
    has led you to a dead end.
[17:08] Misaki
    Thank you.
[17:20] Kourin
    Knight of Elegant Skills, Gareth boosts.
[17:23] Kourin
    Battlefield Tempest, Sagramore
    attacks your Vanguard!
[17:27] Suiko
    Battle Cupid, Nociel. Perfect guard!
[17:31] Suiko
    Your attack doesn't hit me.
[17:33] Suiko
    Nemean Lion attacks your Vanguard.
[17:37] Takuto
    Listen up, you three.
[17:42] Takuto
    Kourin attends Miyaji Academy.
[17:44] Takuto
    Suiko attends Fukuhara High School.
[17:46] Takuto
    Rekka attends the affiliated
    Fukuhara Middle School.
[17:49] Takuto
    But while all of you were
    performing your duties in those places...
[17:52] Rekka
    Kou didn't just monitor Aichi Sendou,
[17:55] Rekka
    she stepped over the line
    by joining the Cardfight Club.
[17:58] Kourin
    Rekka!
[18:03] Takuto
    It appears the time has come
    for me to fulfill my role, as well.
[18:08] Takuto
    As the Concert Master...
[18:12] Takuto
    As you well know,
    the head of the Tatsunagi Foundation
[18:16] Takuto
    bears the role of Concert Master,
    from generation to generation.
[18:25] Takuto
    Father...
[18:35] Takuto
    Father!
[18:43] Takuto
    Takuto...
[18:49] Nome
    Thank goodness, it isn't me.
[18:56] Takuto
    And the Concert Master
    has followers, similar to rear-guards.
[19:03] Takuto
    As luck would have it, the members
    of the Tatsunagi family who were called...
[19:09] Takuto
    ...were you three, the "Called Walkers".
[19:16] Takuto
    Know how none of you
    have memories from before this?
[19:20] Takuto
    That was because you didn't
    need them for this endeavor.
[19:25] Takuto
    I'll give you everything you need
    to live as my Called Walkers.
[19:36] Rekka
    Well? So what do we do?
[19:41] Suiko
    You watch your mouth when speaking to Takuto.
[19:45] Rekka
    Hey Takuto, this girl scares me!
[19:47] Suiko
    Don't shout at him!
[19:49] Takuto
    No, it's fine.
[19:54] Takuto
    So the two of you have
    different degrees of loyalty to me?
[19:59] Takuto
    How about you?
[20:01] Kourin
    I will carry out your will.
[20:05] Takuto
    I see.
[20:09] Rekka
    But no Concert Master has ever
    acted in the open before, right?
[20:15] Rekka
    So why are you the first, Takuto?
[20:19] Takuto
    Kouji Ibuki...
[20:22] Takuto
    He fought using units that I didn't recognize.
[20:28] Kouji
    Docking Deletor, Greion!
[20:31] Kouji
    Its skill activates!
[20:35] Tetsu
    What?!
[20:37] Tetsu
    Dantarian!
[20:39] Tetsu
    I-It can't be!
[20:40] Tetsu
    The unit I was riding got ripped away?!
[20:43] Kouji
    I delete Dantarian.
[20:48] Tetsu
    "Delete"?!
[20:49] Kouji
    That's right. This one eradicates Vanguards.
[20:53] Kouji
    It's a super-powered being from
    the planet Cray, as well as my avatar!
[20:58] Kouji
    Docking Deletor, Greion!
[21:03] Takuto
    I can't allow him to go unchecked.
[21:06] Ezel
    A threat draws near...
[21:08] Ezel
    ...to our planet Cray.
[21:12] Kourin
    What?!
[21:13] Rekka
    What are you saying, Takuto?!
[21:15] Rekka
    Isn't the planet Cray imaginary?
[21:18] Takuto
    Oh, that's right.
    I never did tell you three this.
[21:22] Takuto
    The planet Cray actually exists.
[21:27] Kourin
    Cray... is real?!
[23:10] Takuto
    Kourin, if you're exhausted,
    why not take a day off from school?
[23:13] Kourin
    What are you talking about, Takuto?
[23:15] Kourin
    I definitely have to go!
[23:17] Takuto
    I see.
[23:18] Takuto
    Then at least allow me to tell you...
[23:20] Takuto
    ...you're wearing just one sock.
[23:22] Kourin
    Huh? ...You're right!
[23:23] Rekka
    You don't have your bag, either!
[23:26] Kourin
    What are you... You're right!
[23:27] Suiko
    Not to mention that
    you're still in your pajamas...
[23:30] Kourin
    That's ridicu-- You're right!
[23:32] Takuto
    Yet you haven't forgotten your deck.

[23:35] Takuto
    Why are you going to school, again?
[23:38] Kourin
    You're right...
