***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**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[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
superior ride Nextage directly from your deck.
**[23:58] Narrator**
And once the unit is done attacking,
if you discard two cards from your hand,
**[24:01] Narrator**
you can immediately ride
Chronojet Dragon from the Soul!
**[24:04] Narrator**
May the consecutive attacks
