[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     I guess you preferred the old me,     my "Shinemon" personality, huh? SIGN    Remind 30      A New Vanguard [24:41] Misaki     That was oppressively annoying in its own way!
