SIGN    Remind 30 A New Vanguard
SIGN    Rive Shindou
[00:14] Mark
    Rive isn't dead.
[00:17] Mark
    I'm sure he'll come back.
[00:19] Mikuru
    It doesn't feel real yet,
     but we have to face the facts.
[00:25] Esuka
    Nothing turned up at the site of Ryuzu Lab.
[00:30] Esuka
    At the very least, Rive Shindou's body
    is nowhere to be found on Earth.
[00:38] Mikuru
    Chrono doesn't remember anything.
[00:41] Mikuru
    That may be for the best.
[00:49] Shin
    I'm a failure as a disciple.
[00:54] Misaki
    Shin, put these on.
[00:58] Shin
    Glasses?
[01:00] Misaki
    I asked Mikuru to buy them for you,
    as a sign of a new beginning.
[01:15] Shin
    Master...
[01:16] Shin
    From now on, I'll...
[01:24] Dran
    Chrono!
[01:33] Chrono
    What was that?
[01:38] Mikuru
    Chrono, I'm off.
[01:40] Chrono
    See you later.
[01:42] Mikuru
    Hey, did you turn in your
    future course plan form?
[01:47] Chrono
    No, not yet.
[01:49] Mikuru
    Put down whatever you like.
[01:51] Mikuru
    You can become anything you want to be.
[02:00] Chrono
    What can I be?
[02:03] Chrono
    I'm just grateful to be alive,
    thanks to the orphanage and Mikuru.
[02:07] Chrono
    A brat like me...
[02:16] Shin
    You'll be able to discover who you are.
[02:22] Chrono
    I'm nothing more than myself.
[02:25] Tokoha
    Hey, Shindou.
[02:29] Chrono
    Anjou? What do you want?
[02:32] Tokoha
    You're the only one who hasn't
    turned in a future course plan form.
[02:37] Chrono
    I've already settled on my future course.
[02:39] Chrono
    I'm gonna live on my own
    so I'm not a burden to anyone.
[02:41] Tokoha
    Something like that
    doesn't count as a future course.
[02:44] Tokoha
    What high school will you go to?
    What future career will you embark on?
[02:48] Tokoha
    This is so you're not caught unawares
    once we're in third year.
[02:54] Tokoha
    It's also a good opportunity to consider
    the possibilities for your future self.
[03:10] Chrono
    I've ended up drawn here again...
[03:16] Kamui
    I figured you'd come.
[03:17] Kamui
    Shin! Shin!
[03:23] Shin
    I've awaited your arrival.
[03:25] Shin
    I mean, I've been waiting for you!
[03:29] Kamui
    Shin, what's with that outfit and glasses?
[03:33] Shin
    I kind of wanted to fight in serious mode.
[03:36] Kamui
    O-Okay.
[03:37] Shin
    If you win, Chrono, I'll buy your deck
    or do whatever you want me to.
[03:42] Kamui
    What if you win, Shin?
[03:46] Shin
    I just want to fight Chrono.
[03:50] Chrono
    Then let's do it!
[03:52] The Two
    Stand up, Vanguard!
[04:01] Chrono
    This form... I really did remember it.
[04:07] Shin
    So that's become your First Vanguard?
[04:11] Chrono
    What's the deal?
[04:13] Chrono
    I ride Bearing Rover.
[04:18] Shin
    I ride Atlas of Heavenly Sphere!
[04:21] Shin
    Here I come!
[04:23] Kamui
    This is the first time I've seen
     Shin use a Genesis deck.
[04:28] Shin
    So, what are you gonna do?
[04:31] Chrono
    Um, I guard with Ring Ring Worker.
[04:36] Kamui
    With that, you've got 23,000.
[04:38] Shin
    Drive check!
[04:44] Chrono
    I ride Stroboscope Dragon.
[04:48] Chrono
    I call Steam Fencer, Idena and Bearing Rover!
[04:55] Chrono
    Here I go!
[04:56] Shin
    Cyber Tiger!
[04:58] Chrono
    You guarded?
[04:59] Kamui
    Yeah, but now ya need to do a drive check.
[05:02] Chrono
    Oh, right.
[05:04] Chrono
    Drive check!
[05:06] Chrono
    Critical trigger!
[05:08] Chrono
    Um, I can use this on rear-guards, too,
    so I give all the effects to Idena!
[05:14] Shin
    Huh.
[05:15] Shin
    Idena attacks your Vanguard
    with a boost from Bearing Rover!
[05:19] Kamui
    There ya go.
[05:20] Kamui
    Between the effects of that trigger
    and the boost, you've got a total of 33,000!
[05:26] Shin
    No guard!
[05:27] Shin
    Damage check!
[05:32] Chrono
    Yes! I got in the first 2 damage points!
[05:34] Shin
    That was a good attack.
[05:36] Kamui
    That's 'cause he's got a good vanguard.
[05:38] Chrono
    My vanguard?
[05:41] Kamui
    A vanguard is like someone who leads the way.
[05:45] Kamui
    In the game, a vanguard makes pacts with units
    from the planet Cray and leads them into battle.
[05:50] Kamui
    And in real life, it can mean someone
    who leads the way for fellow fighters.
[05:55] Kamui
    In other words, Chrono, I'm your vanguard.
[05:58] Chrono
    Huh...
[06:00] Shin
    I ride!
[06:02] Shin
    I call Phosphoros of Auspicious Light
    and Diana of Moonlight!
[06:06] Shin
    I attack your Vanguard!
[06:09] Chrono
    Steam Bomber, Digul!
[06:11] Shin
    Phosphoros and Diana!
[06:15] Chrono
    No guard!
[06:17] Chrono
    Damage check!
[06:20] Chrono
    You're out of attacks. It's my turn now, right?
[06:24] Shin
    No. Before the end of my turn,
    Diana's skill activates.
[06:29] Shin
    I get an Imaginary Gift, Force I.
[06:32] Chrono
    That's all?
[06:34] Chrono
    Stand and draw!
[06:37] Chrono
    I ride Chronojet Dragon!
[06:45] Kamui
    Another unit sharing your name, Chrono?
[06:52] Chrono
    I also get an Imaginary Gift, Force I!
[06:57] Kamui
    With that, Chrono's Vanguard gets +10,000 power!
[07:01] Chrono
    Chronojet Dragon attacks your Vanguard!
[07:05] Shin
    No guard!
[07:06] Chrono
    Drive check!
[07:09] Kamui
    All right, a critical!
[07:11] Chrono
    I give the power to Idena and
    the extra critical to Chronojet!
[07:18] Chrono
    2 more damage and I win!
[07:20] Chrono
    Idena attacks your Vanguard!
[07:23] Kamui
    He can't clinch it this turn.
[07:26] Kamui
    Attacking a rear-guard would be best,
    but I haven't taught him that far yet.
[07:33] Shin
    No guard!
[07:35] Chrono
    I did it! Just 1 more damage!
[07:38] Kamui
    Yeah! Hang in there through the next turn!
[07:44] Shin
    I also had a vanguard.
[07:46] Shin
    Well, I called him "Master."
[07:49] Kamui
    Huh, really? Where is he now?
[07:54] Shin
    He had a childlike personality,
[07:58] Shin
    and whenever he seemed about to lose,
    he'd take off, saying he had to get to work,
[08:03] Shin
    so I never could beat him.
[08:06] Shin
    Never mind work. Even though he had a wife
    and child, it's as if Vanguard was his mistress.
[08:16] Chrono
    That doesn't sound like a responsible adult.
[08:19] Shin
    I used to think that, too.
[08:21] Shin
    But what is an adult, Chrono?
[08:25] Shin
    How does one become an adult?
[08:35] Chrono
    When and how did you become an adult?!
[08:46] Shin
    I ride!
[08:48] Shin
    A ray of light pierces the darkness!
[08:51] Shin
    No matter how faint it may be,
    I am the one who will recite and extol it!
[08:58] Shin
    Behold!
[08:59] Shin
    Origin Deity of Heavenly Light, Uranus!
[09:02] Shin
    I get an Imaginary Gift, Force I!
[09:08] Shin
    Atlas! Gleaming Lord, Uranus!
[09:11] Shin
    Quaking Heavenly Dragon, Astraios Dragon! Come!
[09:31] Chrono
    All those grade 3s...
[09:33] Shin
    Atlas's skill activates!
[09:36] Shin
    I get an Imaginary Gift!
[09:40] Kamui
    Three Force I gifts. That gives
    Shin's Vanguard +30,000 power.
[09:45] Kamui
    But that's not all.
[09:48] Shin
    My master told me that with Vanguard,
    I can become anything.
[09:54] Shin
    It's the same with real life.
[09:56] Shin
    Anything I can imagine, I can become.
[10:00] Shin
    You don't have to settle on just one thing.
[10:02] Shin
    He was the first adult to tell me that.
[10:07] Chrono
    Imagining...
[10:13] Shin
    Origin Deity of Heavenly Light, Uranus's
    skill activates!
[10:16] Shin
    With three Imaginary Gifts,
    I can deploy the Astral Plane!
[10:20] Chrono
    "Astral Plane"?
[10:22] Shin
    The Astral Plane is where
    the Astral Deities can appear!
[10:25] Chrono
    "Astral Deities"? What're those?
[10:28] Shin
    This is my victory pattern!
[10:30] Shin
    Circle Shift!
[10:31] Shin
    Astral Plane!
[10:44] Shin
    O great planetary guardian deity!
[10:47] Shin
    Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!
[10:51] Chrono
    Grade 5. 70,000 power!
[10:54] Chrono
    That's an Astral Deity?
[10:58] Shin
    With Valkerion, I can look at the top
    five cards of my deck, choose one,
[11:02] Shin
    and Valkerion gets the same number of
    drive checks as that card's grade.
[11:08] Shin
    I got a Quintet Drive!
[11:10] Chrono
    "Quintet"?
[11:11] Kamui
    It means five of them.
[11:14] Chrono
    Five?!
[11:15] Shin
    Zodiac Blazer! Quintet!
[11:23] Chrono
    I'm sure the only thing
    to do for that is no guard!
[11:26] Shin
    Drive check!
[11:27] Shin
    First check!
[11:30] Shin
    Second check!
[11:33] Shin
    I give the power to Phosphoros
    and the extra critical to Valkerion!
[11:37] Shin
    Third check!
[11:39] Chrono
    A second critical!
[11:41] Shin
    Again, I give the power to Phosphoros
    and the extra critical to Valkerion!
[11:45] Shin
    Fourth check!
[11:47] Shin
    Fifth check!
[11:49] Kamui
    The last one's a draw trigger...
[11:52] Shin
    I give the power to Phosphoros. Attack!
[11:58] Kamui
    3 damage! Ya do three damage checks.
[12:01] Chrono
    Yes, I know!
[12:02] Chrono
    First check!
[12:05] Chrono
    Second check!
[12:07] Chrono
    Critical trigger! I give
    all the effects to my Vanguard!
[12:10] Chrono
    Third check!
[12:26] Chrono
    I'm still only at 4 damage.
[12:28] Shin
    My master never held back.
[12:31] Shin
    Origin Deity of Heavenly Light, Uranus's
    skill activates!
[12:34] Chrono
    Skill?
[12:36] Shin
    By resting two Astral Poet units,
    I can attack again with Valkerion.
[12:51] Chrono
    Another 70,000 power attack?!
[12:54] Kamui
    Worse, he's also got his Vanguard's attack left.
[12:59] Kamui
    Let's see how long ya can hold out...
[13:05] Shin
    Origin Deity of Heavenly Light, Uranus
    attacks your Vanguard!
[13:10] Chrono
    No guard!
[13:11] Shin
    Drive check!
[13:15] Shin
    Draw trigger! I give the power to Phosphoros!
[13:22] Chrono
    Damage check!
[13:24] Chrono
    Critical trigger! I give
    all of the effects to my Vanguard!
[13:28] Kamui
    1 more damage point and ya lose, Chrono!
[13:31] Chrono
    Come and get me, Valkerion!
[13:33] Shin
    Valkerion attacks your Vanguard!
[13:36] Chrono
    I guard with two Steam Maiden, Uluru units!
[13:41] Kamui
    Thanks to the trigger, ya guarded successfully!
[13:44] Shin
    Best not forget, though.
[13:47] Shin
    I can still attack with this one.
[13:49] Shin
    Phosphoros of Auspicious Light
    attacks your Vanguard!
[13:53] Shin
    Phosphoros's skill activates!
[13:55] Shin
    +5000 power!
[13:58] Kamui
    The power from that trigger
    and Diana's boost added to that...
[14:03] Shin
    Phosphoros's power is 63,000!
[14:07] Chrono
    I guard!
[14:08] Kamui
    You're gonna use up all your hand?!
[14:11] Shin
    And your guard is just equal, 63,000!
[14:14] Shin
    It's not enough!
[14:15] Chrono
    I also intercept with my rear-guard Diana!
[14:20] Diana
    Leave it to me, my Vanguard!
[14:23] Chrono
    Idena, please!
[14:33] Kamui
    Ya rode it out, but you've got zero cards
    in hand, while Shin still has plenty of them.
[14:43] Chrono
    In the end, this is reality.
[14:48] Chrono
    Shinemon Nitta. Why didn't you go on
    to become an international pro fighter,
[14:55] Chrono
    when you're this strong?
[14:57] Kamui
    Hey!
[14:58] Chrono
    I know you lost in the finals
    of the Asia Circuit ten years ago.
[15:03] Chrono
    Your dream never panned out.
[15:05] Chrono
    You talk about being able to become anything,
    but the reality is you're fighting kids like me.
[15:10] Kamui
    Wha...?!
[15:17] Shin
    Reality is garbage.
[15:20] Shin
    Those are also my master's words.
[15:23] Shin
    Even if you have a variety of dreams
    and are able to imagine yourself in them...
[15:29] Shin
    Well, while I was working through that,
    my dear master disappeared.
[15:36] Chrono
    Disappeared?
[15:38] Shin
    That's why I'm here.
[15:42] Shin
    I pass on to children the wisdom
    I received from my master!
[15:47] Shin
    As long as you can imagine it,
    you can become anything!
[15:54] Chrono
    But even when I try to imagine it,
    all I can see is myself losing.
[16:00] Shin
    Master never mastered this deck.
[16:04] Shin
    But I know you can do it, Chrono.
[16:08] Shin
    You can hear the voices of the units!
[16:10] Shin
    Listen to them, Chrono!
[16:14] Shin
    Rewrite your imagination!
[16:16] Shin
    Rewrite this lousy reality and the image of
    your own failure, then face the future and fly!
[16:26] Chrono
    Stand and draw!
[16:33] Chrono
    What's that?
[16:35] Dran
    Chrono... Chrono!
[16:38] Dran
    Have you forgotten me?
[16:42] Chrono
    You're Chrono... Dran.
[16:45] Dran
    You called to me. That's how I found you.
[16:49] Dran
    And even now...
[16:52] Chrono
    Dran...
[16:55] Dran
    So, what do you want to do?
[16:57] Dran
    Together, the two of us can do anything.
[17:02] Chrono
    I want to defeat him.
[17:07] Chrono
    No, wait.
[17:10] Chrono
    I want to defeat my current self,
[17:12] Chrono
    who uses the fact that I forgot everything
    as an excuse to run away from my true self.
[17:20] Dran
    Sure, that's easy.
[17:22] Dran
    Let's destroy your "self."
[17:25] Dran
    Go!
[17:31] Chrono
    I'll destroy who I am now.
[17:33] Chrono
    And then...
[17:36] Chrono
    Chronojet Dragon's skill activates.
[17:38] Chrono
    By discarding one or more cards with
    the sum of their grades being 3 or higher,
[17:43] Chrono
    I superior ride Chronodragon Nextage
    from my deck!
[17:49] Chrono
    Manifest here and now,
    being that transcends all others!
[17:54] Chrono
    Chronodragon Nextage!
[17:57] Kamui
    He can superior ride a grade 4?!
[18:00] Shin
    Right! Ten years ago, Ryuzu superior rode
    Chronotiger Rebellion from Chronofang Tiger!
[18:09] Shin
    It's Gear Chronicle's power to transcend time!
[18:14] Chrono
    Did I surpass myself?
[18:16] Chrono
    Chronodragon Nextage attacks!
[18:20] Chrono
    Super Dimensional Roar!
[18:25] Shin
    Goddess of Self-sacrifice, Kushinada!
[18:27] Kamui
    A perfect guard!
[18:28] Shin
    I don't take any damage,
    but you can do a drive check.
[18:33] Chrono
    No trigger!
[18:35] Kamui
    Aww man, now it's Shin's turn agai--
[18:38] Chrono
    Chronodragon Nextage's skill activates!
[18:41] Chrono
    To pay the cost, I discard the two units
    that the drive check just added to my hand,
[18:46] Chrono
    and then retire Chronodragon Nextage!
[18:49] Shin
    Riding Chronojet Dragon, from the Soul?!
[18:52] Shin
    Guide me to the future and open up a new world!
[18:56] Shin
    I superior ride Chronojet Dragon!
[19:06] Chrono
    I get an Imaginary Gift!
[19:10] Chrono
    Chronojet Dragon attacks!
[19:12] Chrono
    Including the power of the
    two Imaginary Gifts, I have 53,000!
[19:16] Kamui
    And with the card's skill, your opponent can't
     use Sentinels to guard against the attack!
[19:22] Shin
    Kukurihime! Cyber Tiger! Diana of Moonlight!
[19:25] Shin
    Phosphoros, you help too!
[19:27] Phosphoros
    No problem!
[19:35] Shin
    Even without a perfect guard,
    I have 58,000 to your 53,000!
[19:40] Chrono
    Drive check!
[19:42] Chrono
    First check!
[19:43] Chrono
    Second check!
[19:45] Kamui
    A draw trigger!
[19:47] Chrono
    I give the power to Chronojet Dragon!
[19:49] Chrono
    That gives me a total of 63,000!
[19:59] Chrono
    Lightning Soul Attack! Consecutive Burst!
[20:07] Shin
    Damage check.
[20:14] Shin
    You got me!
[20:19] Chrono
    I won?
[20:22] Kamui
    That was awesome, Chrono!
[20:23] Kamui
    You've totally mastered Gear Chronicle!
[20:27] Chrono
    No, I...
[20:30] Chrono
    Hey!
[20:33] Chrono
    I feel like I wish I could've met your "master."
[20:42] Chrono
    What the heck?
[20:45] Chrono
    Why am I... crying?
[21:07] Dran
    I saw Chrono's dream.
[21:16] Esuka
    Chrono used a Gear Chronicle deck?!
[21:19] Shin
    I don't know where he got it from.
[21:22] Shin
    But I think it would be okay if
    I just keep an eye on him for a while.
[21:26] Shin
    People may say that Vanguard is just a game,
[21:31] Shin
    but playing it can teach you important lessons
    and give you dreams to reach for.
[21:37] Esuka
    Could it be you don't want to be the adult
    who tells him it's dangerous and confiscates it?
[21:41] Shin
    We're told that if adults engage them earnestly,
     then children will have boundless imagination.
[21:47] Shin
    That's what I believe.
[21:49] Esuka
    And that's why you also believe in
    the potential of Gear Chronicle?
[21:53] Esuka
    How exasperating.
[21:55] Esuka
    This means you're still a child.
[21:58] Esuka
    But I still prefer you
    with these glasses and hairstyle.
[22:07] Shin
    W-Well, I'm not so sure--
[22:37] Shin
    Welcome. Thanks for coming.
[22:41] Kid
    Shin, check out my deck!
[22:43] Kid
    Shin, which ones are the new packs?!
[22:46] Kid
    Shin, let's fight!
[22:51] Shion
    Shin, see you tomorrow.
[23:03] Shion
    Huh, isn't he in my class?
[23:15] Kid
    Is this one strong?
[23:16] Chrono
    U-Um...
[23:21] Shin
    Hi. Welcome.
[23:24] Shin
    All right, let's imagine.
[23:26] Shin
    To become strong, you need imagination.
[23:29] Kid
    I got stronger!
[23:31] Shin
    That's right!
[23:34] Shin
    Imagine!
[23:35] Kids
    Imagine!
[23:35] Shin
    Imagine!
[23:38] Kids
    Imagine!
[23:46] Narrator

[23:48] Narrator
    Today's featured card is Chrono's
    Chronodragon Nextage!
SIGN    Chronodragon Nextage

[23:53] Narrator
    Using Chronojet Dragon's skill, you can
