**[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.

**[23:38] Kourin**
You're right...
