[00:00] Kanzaki
    I have been waiting for you, Shinemon Nitta!
[00:04] MC
    The final match of the Asia Circuit,
    Nitta versus Kanzaki, is about to begin!
[00:19] Kanzaki
    H-Hey...
[00:23] Shin
    Stand up...
[00:24] Kanzaki
    Stand up...
[00:26] The Two
    ...Vanguard!
SIGN    10 years later
SIGN    Shinemon Nitta is...
SIGN    ...currently...
[00:46] Shin
    Cut it out! No, not there... Misaki...
SIGN    Manager Stand Up
[01:02] Shin
    Is the world ending?! Everything's blurry!
[01:06] Esuka
    Hello? Manager, are you there?
[01:09] Shin
    I can't see!
SIGN    Eeek!
[01:10] Esuka
    Noooo!
SIGN    Meow
[01:22] Esuka
    Manager? Manager!
[01:25] Esuka
    No, not you!
[01:27] Shin
    Hello. I'm the actual manager of Card Capital.
[01:32] Esuka
    Yes, I know!
[01:34] Shin
    President Esuka? Long time no talk.
[01:37] Shin
    Are you in Japan now?
[01:40] Esuka
    I'll be returning abroad soon,
    but there's something I wanted to tell you.
SIGN    Remind 29 Once Again, To Capital
[03:25] Chrono
    This story is set in the near future.
[03:29] Chrono
    Hundreds of millions of people
    all over the world play card games,
[03:32] Chrono
    and the pastime has become
    part of everyday life.
[03:36] Chrono
    But that had nothing to do with me.
[03:39] Chrono
    Until now!
[03:41] Chrono
    But I don't know anything about Vanguard!
[03:45] Kamui
    That doesn't matter! Just come with me!
[03:54] Chrono
    That dream...
[03:56] Chrono
    No, not a dream.
[04:00] Chrono
    It's my oldest memory,
    but I don't understand it at all.
[04:04] Chrono
    I'd forgotten it all this time...
[04:07] Kamui
    H-Huh?
[04:09] Kamui
    What's wrong? Did that hurt?
[04:11] Chrono
    No, I'm fine.
[04:12] Kamui
    I see! Well, it's right over here.
[04:16] Kamui
    Card Capital!
[04:18] Chrono
    Don't just breeze past that. What's with you?
[04:24] Kamui
    Shin! We've got a customer!
SIGN    This Shop is Home to the Vanguard Koshien Winner!
[04:31] Kamui
    Shin's not here?
[04:33] Mark
    I suddenly got called in. I'm the pink hitter.
[04:36] Kamui
    It's "pinch hitter,"
    and isn't that already English?!
[04:40] Kamui
    I guess it's okay even without Shin around.
[04:53] Mark
    Hi. I haven't seen your face before.
[04:56] Chrono
    Yeah, I was just wanting to sell this.
[05:01] Chrono
    I was out looking for a shop where
    I could sell it, and bumped into him.
[05:04] Kamui
    It's a shame to quit Vanguard,
    so I thought I'd persuade him not to.
[05:09] Mark
    Well, anyway, I'll take a look at your cards.
[05:14] Mark
    Gear Chronicle...
[05:17] Mark
    Chronojet Dragon.
[05:20] Mark
    This shouldn't exist...
[05:23] Kamui
    Whoa, that's Gear Chronicle!
[05:25] Kamui
    It really exists!
[05:27] Chrono
    What does that mean?
[05:28] Kamui
    Lately there've been rumors
    about a legendary clan.
[05:32] Kamui
    Some fighters search the world for it,
    while others say it's just a fantasy.
[05:37] Chrono
    Just a fantasy? Then this deck is fake?
[05:41] Mark
    No, it's not fake.
[05:43] Mark
    There's a record of it being used
    at the Asia Circuit ten years ago.
[05:48] Kamui
    You know a lot about it, Mark.
[05:50] Kamui
    Are ya seriously gonna sell it?
[05:52] Kamui
    That'd be such a waste.
[05:54] Chrono
    But I'm not interested in the game.
[05:56] Kamui
    If you're not interested, why do ya have it?
[05:59] Chrono
    Um...
[06:04] Chrono
    What's this?
SIGN    For Shindou
[06:12] Chrono
    This is that Vanguard thing, right?
[06:16] Chrono
    Who put it there?
[06:19] Chrono
    Well, whatever.
SIGN    Burnable Trash
[06:22] Student
    Hold up, Shindou.
[06:25] Student
    You live with your aunt, don't you?
[06:28] Student
    I bet you don't have time to play Vanguard.
[06:32] Student
    So I'll take this off your hands.
[06:34] Student
    Especially since it looks pretty rare...
[06:44] Dran
    Chrono... Chrono!
[06:48] Student
    The heck?! You were gonna throw it away!
[06:51] Chrono
    What am I doing?
    There's no way cards can talk.
[06:56] Student
    If you don't want that, give it to me!
[07:00] Student
    Drat. I probably could've
    gotten lots of money for that.
[07:03] Student
    Wh-What?!
[07:06] Chrono
    Can I sell these?
[07:15] Kamui
    You're in middle school, right?
[07:17] Kamui
    What do ya need the money for?
[07:19] Chrono
    Once I finish middle school,
     I wanna live on my own.
[07:23] Chrono
    This could really add to the pot.
[07:25] Mark
    Live on your own? Then Mikuru--
[07:29] Mark
    It's nothing.
[07:31] Mark
    So, have you ever played Cardfight before?
[07:34] Chrono
    No.
[07:36] Kamui
    What a waste. Cards like that and all...
[07:39] Chrono
    Whatever, just buy this off me!
[07:41] Kamui
    Forget it! We're not buying that deck
    unless ya do a Cardfight against me first.
[07:46] Chrono
    Who are you, anyway?
[07:49] Kamui
    Why, I'm this shop's...
[07:51] Kamui
    ...part-timer!
[08:05] Kamui
    I'd feel bad for these cards if ya never
    learn their worth, other than monetary value.
[08:13] Chrono
    But I don't know anything about Cardfight.
[08:17] Kamui
    Those are your cards.
[08:19] Kamui
    So they wanna fight for ya.
[08:24] Chrono
    Well, I guess there's no harm
    in learning what these cards are.
[08:28] Kamui
    The rules are simple.
[08:30] Kamui
    First of all, Vanguard is...
[08:30] Mark
    There's no mistaking it.
[08:33] Mark
    Shinemon, please get back soon.
[08:38] Kamui
    All right, let's get started.
[08:40] Kamui
    Now, imagine it.
[08:43] Kamui
    We're astral bodies that have
    just landed on the planet Cray.
[08:47] Chrono
    The planet Cray...?
[09:19] Kamui
    All right, let's go.
[09:21] Kamui
    Show me your First Vanguard.
[09:23] Kamui
    Stand up...
[09:25] Chrono
    Stand up...
[09:26] The Two
    ...Vanguard!
[09:28] Kamui
    I ride! Battleraizer!
[09:33] Chrono
    This is... "riding"?
[09:37] Chrono
    Then this unit I'm riding must be...
[09:42] Chrono
    ...the Vanguard.
[09:44] Chrono
    Chrono Dran...
[09:46] Chrono
    It's my first time playing,
    but I recognize him somehow!
[09:53] Kamui
    Chrono Dran?
[09:55] Kamui
    That's a Gear Chronicle unit, huh?
[09:59] Kamui
    Why're ya blushing?
[10:02] Chrono
    Why does it have the same name as me?
[10:08] Shin
    Enough already!
[10:09] Esuka
    Such an embarrassment!
[10:11] Esuka
    A man over 30, walking around town
    with graffiti on his face!
[10:16] Shin
    My phone?
[10:18] Shin
    Mark's calling?
[10:20] Esuka
    I'm sure it's about some plan to hang out.
[10:23] Esuka
    I swear, you're both over 30,
    yet you still act like teenagers.
[10:29] Shin
    By the way, what's your relationship with him?
[10:33] Esuka
    Don't jump to conclusions!
    He's my younger brother.
[10:36] Esuka
    He's gotten interested in Vanguard recently,
[10:38] Esuka
    so I'm having him assist me at the
    Esuka Headquarters in Singapore, that's all.
[10:42] Shin
    What conclusion would I jump to?
[10:44] Esuka
    The way you talk gets on my nerves!
[10:46] Esuka
    Who do you think you are?!
[10:48] Shin
    Shin Nitta.
[10:50] Shin
    My personality hasn't changed in years.
    You should be used to it by now.
[10:57] Esuka
    Anyway, the Esuka Group has had
    major success with overseas expansion.
[11:03] Shin
    I heard both Nanami and Tonori are
    idolized as star fighters by fans overseas.
[11:11] Esuka
    There have been rumors
    among those overseas fans
[11:15] Esuka
    about the existence of a clan
    called Gear Chronicle.
SIGN    Weakness is a sin Fight with a smile
SIGN    Vanguard Committee Strong fighters wanted! Weakness is a sin! Fight with a smile! Even you can play Vanguard!
[11:21] Oyama
    So that's why you're here?
[11:24] Oyama
    Welcome to the newly-launched
    Vanguard Committee!
[11:30] Oyama
    My, it's been quite a while!
[11:33] Esuka
    Pardon the interruption, but... who are you?
[11:37] Oyama
    It's me! Ryutarou Oyama,
    the fighter of endless summer.
[11:42] Shin
    Oh. Of course it would be you, Mr. Oyama.
[11:46] Kanzaki
    And just who are you?
[11:50] Oyama
    You wanna join the committee?
    Which clan do you use?
[11:54] Shin
    Um... I'm Shin Nitta...
[11:58] Oyama
    Nitta? Shinemon?!
[12:01] Kanzaki
    Ridiculous! This creepy man in an apron
    is the same man who once beat me?!
[12:08] Esuka
    I agree that he's creepy, but he is what he is.
[12:12] Shin
    Huh? Isn't Ruga Kaizu with you?
[12:15] Oyama
    It seems the disappearance of
    Rive Shindou was a real shock for him.
[12:21] Oyama
    He said he didn't want any more
    to do with the Vanguard world.
[12:26] Oyama
    We're trying to build an organization
    that trains Vanguard fighters from kids on up.
[12:34] Oyama
    An ideal fight is...
[12:36] Kanzaki
    ...when might makes right.
[12:36] Oyama
    ...when everyone smiles.
[12:39] Oyama
    You're still on that?!
[12:41] Kanzaki
    The purpose of the committee
    is to produce strong Vanguard fighters.
[12:46] Esuka
    All right, all right.
    So where's your committee chair?
[12:50] Ryuzu
    Here I am.
[12:52] Shin
    Ryuzu Myoujin?!
[12:54] Ryutarou
    And who are you?
[12:56] Shin
    Again...?
[12:58] Esuka
    Just give up.
[13:01] Ryuzu
    It seems Gear Chronicle has
    become a worldwide urban legend.
[13:07] Esuka
    Don't play dumb. Wasn't this place
    ground zero of that legend?
[13:11] Esuka
    You used to have contact with
    Gear Chronicle's Chronotiger Rebellion,
[13:16] Esuka
    and conducted unit summoning experiments.
[13:19] Ryuzu
    If we can interact with the planet Cray,
    Earth will have a wonderful future.
[13:25] Ryuzu
    While my end goal hasn't changed,
    I now insist on safe and peaceful means.
[13:30] Kanzaki
    Children like strong units.
[13:33] Kanzaki
    That's probably why the rumors of
    Gear Chronicle took on a life of their own.
[13:37] Ryuzu
    Besides, the real issue was never the cards.
    It was the Singularities.
[13:44] Esuka
    The Singularities... How is
    Chrono Shindou doing these days?
[13:49] Shin
    He's in middle school already,
    and seemingly uninterested in Vanguard.
[13:54] Esuka
    He mustn't ever come into contact
    with Gear Chronicle.
[13:57] Shin
    Don't worry.
[13:59] Shin
    Tatsuya and Mishima are continuing
    their research at a university in the US.
[14:04] Shin
    I'm sure what happened
    ten years ago will never happen again.
[14:08] Esuka
    Can you really be certain...?
[14:13] Esuka
    Oh, well.
[14:15] Esuka
    It's been a long time, so how about
    if I treat you to a delicious dinner--
[14:18] Shin
    Sorry, I have to get back to work! Take care!
[14:22] Esuka
    You don't have to go so far as to
    emulate your master's abrupt exits!
[14:29] Chrono
    I'll, uh... "ride" this dragon.
[14:33] Kamui
    What the hey?
[14:35] Kamui
    You've gotta state the card's name clearly!
[14:39] Chrono
    Why do all of these cards share my name?
[14:42] Chrono
    I ride this Chronojet Dragon!
[14:48] Kamui
    Whoa! What is that unit?!
[14:53] Shin
    Is it true that Chrono's here, Mark?
[15:06] Shin
    Chrono Shindou...
[15:09] Shin
    Chrono is playing Vanguard.
[15:12] Shin
    But where did he get Gear Chronicle?
[15:15] Mark
    He said he found the deck in his shoe locker.
[15:17] Shin
    I never could make sense of
    your messed-up Japanese, Mark.
[15:22] Mark
    Nooo!
[15:24] Chrono
    6 damage.
[15:28] Kamui
    It was tight, but I still managed to win.
[15:32] Chrono
    So this is Vanguard...
[15:34] Kamui
    Well?
[15:36] Kamui
    It got pretty fun there, huh?
[15:38] Chrono
    Yeah...
[15:40] Chrono
    It annoyed me when things didn't go
    my way, but that's how reality works, too.
[15:47] Chrono
    I guess it's kind of fun.
[15:49] Kamui
    You show promise.
[15:50] Kamui
    All right, from now on,
    you're my number-one disciple!
[15:54] Chrono
    Did I say I wanted to be your disciple?
[15:57] Kamui
    I'm Kamui Katsuragi.
[15:59] Kamui
    What's your name?
[16:01] Chrono
    I'm--
[16:02] Shin
    Chrono Shindou.
[16:06] Kamui
    Shin!
[16:08] Kamui
    Chrono?
[16:09] Chrono
    How do you know my name?
[16:13] Shin
    So he did lose his memories...
[16:17] Chrono
    Why do you know about me?!
[16:19] Shin
    That deck holds an important meaning for you.
[16:24] Shin
    If you can solve its riddle,
    you'll be able to discover who you are.
[16:30] Shin
    Probably.
[16:33] Chrono
    I don't like you.
[16:35] Chrono
    An adult wearing a smug look
    who talks like he knows everything.
[16:38] Kamui
    Hey, Shin's the manager here!
[16:41] Chrono
    The manager?
[16:43] Chrono
    Is he any good at Vanguard?
[16:45] Kamui
    You bet he is!
[16:46] Kamui
    Ten years ago, Shin and Mark's Team Nippon
     almost made it to the world championship!
[16:55] Kamui
    Look!
[17:00] Chrono
    Isn't that Rive Shindou?
[17:05] Kamui
    Shindou?
[17:07] Chrono
    What's a photo of my father doing here?
[17:11] Mark
    Actually...
[17:12] Shin
    If you want to know that, how about
    having a Vanguard fight with me, too?
[17:17] Kamui
    Shin?
[17:19] Shin
    How about it, Chrono?
[17:21] Misaki
    All of you, back to work!
[17:24] Kamui
    There she is!
[17:28] Misaki
    You're...
[17:29] Shin
    He and I were just about to have a Vanguard--
[17:33] Shin
    Uh, nothing!
[17:38] Chrono
    What the heck was that about?
[17:42] Mikuru
    It's unusual for you to
    get home later than me, Chrono.
[17:45] Mikuru
    Don't tell me you made a new friend?
[17:49] Mikuru
    Just teasing.
[17:51] Chrono
    Mikuru, I have a favor to ask.
[18:02] MC
    The final match of the Asia Circuit,
    Nitta versus Kanzaki, is about to begin!
[18:11] Shin
    Stand up...
[18:12] Kanzaki
    Stand up...
[18:14] The Two
    ...Vanguard!
[18:15] Chrono
    Shin Nitta... Shinemon...
[18:22] Mikuru
    Until now, he's never expressed
    any interest in my dumb brother's matches.
[18:29] MC
    What is going on with Shinemon Nitta?!
[18:33] MC
    He keeps accumulating damage,
    with nothing to show for it!
[18:37] Mark
    Shinemon!
[18:38] Mikuru
    Shinemon, what's wrong with you?!
[18:46] Chrono
    Is that me?
[18:55] Shin
    No guard!
[18:57] Kanzaki
    Drive check!
[19:00] Kanzaki
    Critical trigger!
[19:02] MC
    And that's 6 damage!
[19:04] MC
    The winner of the final
    Asia Circuit match is Yuichirou Kanzaki!
[19:10] Kanzaki
    Shinemon Nitta!
[19:12] Kanzaki
    I've run out of tears for your weakness!
[19:24] Chrono
    What's the deal? Shin wound up losing!
[19:37] Shin
    I finally finished
    calculating this month's profits...
[19:43] Shin
    Mikuru...
[19:47] Shin
    When was the last time I saw you?
[19:49] Mikuru
    Shinemon...
[19:51] Mikuru
    Oh, right, you go by Shin now.
[19:54] Shin
    I heard you launched your own company.
[19:57] Mikuru
    I've always wanted to work
    in the makeup industry.
[20:01] Mikuru
    But I'm still way in the red.
[20:03] Mikuru
    And taking care of Chrono...
[20:04] Shin
    Chrono came by the shop today.
[20:07] Mikuru
    I knew it...
[20:09] Shin
    He said someone gave him a deck.
[20:12] Shin
    He wanted to sell it.
[20:16] Mikuru
    I don't think he likes me taking care of him.
[20:20] Mikuru
    It seems he wants to live on his own
    after finishing middle school.
[20:25] Shin
    He's a good kid.
[20:27] Mikuru
    It's strange. Even though he doesn't
    have any memories of Vanguard,
[20:32] Mikuru
    or of my dumb brother,
    he still went to Capital.
[20:36] Shin
    Yes. He didn't seem to recognize me, either.
[20:40] Mikuru
    I was relieved that he never
    got interested in Vanguard.
[20:45] Mikuru
    I'd been afraid that he would
    end up like my brother one day.
[20:52] Mikuru
    But Shin, if Chrono wants to play Vanguard...
[20:57] Shin
    Of course.
[20:59] Shin
    By the way, I saw Esuka today...
[21:02] Mikuru
    Esuka?!
[21:04] Mikuru
    She's still at it?
[21:07] Mikuru
    I, uh... didn't say anything!
[21:10] Shin
    Misaki!
[21:11] Mikuru
    Huh?
[21:13] Mikuru
    Misaki! Is this guy working hard?
[21:16] Shin
    Yes, I work hard, Mikuru!
[21:18] Mikuru
    Sorry, Misaki.
[21:21] Mikuru
    Well, let me know if
    there's anything else with Chrono.
[21:24] Mikuru
    Good night!
[21:33] Dran
    Chrono... Chrono!
[21:41] Shin
    And Misaki used to be so nice...
[22:10] Shin
    Let's do this!
[23:46] Narrator
    The 30-second card intro segment!
[23:49] Narrator
    Today's featured card is Chrono's
    Chronojet Dragon!
SIGN    Chronojet Dragon
[23:53] Narrator
    Chronojet Dragon, which has
    lots of similarities to Chrono Dran,
[23:56] Narrator
    is the key card of Chrono's deck!
[23:58] Narrator
    When it attacks, if you do a Counterblast,
[24:01] Narrator
    it gets +5000 power, and you can prevent
    your opponent from calling a sentinel!
[24:05] Narrator
    And if you discard units from
    your hand with a sum of grade 3,
[24:08] Narrator
    you can superior ride a grade 4!
[24:11] Narrator
    With this card, you too can
    "Ride The Vanguard"!
SIGN    Ride The Vanguard!
[24:16] Shin
    Misaki?
[24:17] Misaki
    I'm busy...
[24:18] Shin
    That was the Misaki I knew
    before she went off the rails.
[24:20] Shin
    But then her voice changed
    and she became unfriendly to me.
[24:23] Shin
    I'm so sad that I could cry...! Glance--
[24:26] Misaki
    Out of the blue, you start going by "Shin."
    Your attitude and speaking style disgust me!
[24:31] Shin
    B-But this is meant to appeal to
    parents and female customers!
[24:35] Misaki
    You just admitted to faking your personality!
[24:37] Shin
