**[00:00] Ibuki**
Vanish Delete.
**[00:02] Ibuki**
That unit has been removed from the fight.
**[00:05] Shin**
He removed a rear-guard?
**[00:07] Asaka**
A unit disappeared from the board!
**[00:10] Kyou**
No! I don't wanna be erased!
**[00:14] Kamui**
Calm down, Kyou!
**[00:16] Kamui**
It's okay!
**[00:17] Kamui**
I'm sure Kai will beat him!
**[00:24] Kai**
A "deletor," huh?
**[00:26] Kai**
That ability seems like it negates
the existence of Vanguard itself.
**[00:33] Kai**
But you're the one who taught us
how much fun Vanguard could be,
**[00:38] Kai**
so why...?
**[00:41] Ibuki**
It's like I told you.
I've despised Vanguard for a very long time.
**[00:47] Miwa**
You liar!
**[00:49] Miwa**
The three of us used to
play Vanguard every day!
**[00:54] Ibuki**
And just what do you know about me?
**[01:00] Kai**
It's true that you've changed
from the way you were back then,
**[01:04] Kai**
but then, so have I!
**[01:07] Kai**
I'll show you who I am now!
**[01:10] Kai**
Dance, crimson flames!
**[01:13] Kai**
I ride!
**[01:20] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord "The Vanguard"!
**[01:28] Takuto**
It is my destiny to bring
all Vanguard fighters under my control!
**[01:34] Aichi**
Our imaginations will surpass that destiny!
**[01:37] Ibuki**
Not so fast!
**[01:39] Ibuki**
I'm going to Delete End all of you.
***SIGN*** Image 45 Rivalry
**[03:18] Kamui**
There it is! Dragonic Overlord!
**[03:21] Kamui**
Toshiki Kai's avatar!
**[03:24] Kyou**
"Avatar"?
**[03:27] Kai**
Imaginary Gift!
**[03:28] Kai**
Force!
**[03:34] Kai**
Furthermore, I call Berserk Dragon
and Embodiment of Armor, Bahr!
**[03:40] Kai**
Berserk's skill activates!
**[03:49] Kai**
I'm counting on you guys!
**[03:53] Ibuki**
No guard.
**[03:55] Ibuki**
Damage check.
**[04:00] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord attacks your Vanguard!
**[04:04] Kai**
Eternal Flame!
**[04:07] Ibuki**
No guard.
**[04:09] Kai**
Twin drive.
**[04:11] Kai**
First check.
**[04:13] Kai**
Second check.
**[04:15] Ibuki**
Damage check.
**[04:18] Miwa**
A critical trigger!
**[04:20] Ibuki**
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard.
**[04:27] Ibuki**
What's wrong?
**[04:29] Ibuki**
Is this the best you can do, Toshiki Kai?
**[04:32] Ibuki**
You can hit me harder than that.
**[04:35] Kai**
My turn's over.
**[04:37] Shin**
That's Kai, all right.
**[04:39] Shin**
A very calm decision.
**[04:42] Miwa**
But I'm sure Ibuki also knows that,
which is why he fed into it.
**[04:46] Kamui**
You get it?
**[04:47] Kamui**
Since Dragonic Overlord
succeeded on the first attack,
**[04:51] Kamui**
he could've done a superior stand!
**[04:53] Kamui**
But that would've decreased his hand,
plus he'd lose the twin drive.
**[04:57] Kyou**
I don't get it at all.
**[04:59] Kyou**
If you're gonna explain things,
make them easier to understand!
**[05:02] Kamui**
S-Sorry!
**[05:04] Kamui**
You're the one who told me
about PSYqualia and a whole bunch more...
**[05:09] Kamui**
But since your bond with Vanguard was severed,
**[05:11] Kamui**
you don't even know this much anymore.
**[05:15] Kamui**
Darn it!
**[05:18] Kamui**
Please, Kai!
**[05:19] Kamui**
Beat that guy, whatever it takes!
**[05:22] Ibuki**
It's my turn.
**[05:25] Ibuki**
The Joker of nothingness
that erases the links of destiny...
**[05:29] Ibuki**
I ride!
**[05:42] Ibuki**
Docking Deletor, Greion.
**[05:46] Ibuki**
Moreover,
**[05:47] Ibuki**
I call Breaking Deletor, Gatario
**[05:49] Ibuki**
and Swift Deletor, Geali.
**[06:00] Ibuki**
Greion's Counterblast.
**[06:15] Kai**
Overlord!
**[06:17] Ibuki**
Docking Delete.
**[06:25] Miwa**
Kai's Overlord was deleted!
**[06:29] Ibuki**
Now you're just an astral body.
**[06:33] Ibuki**
I'm going to "delete" you.
**[06:37] Kamui**
No, don't!
**[06:37] Shin**
Kamui!
**[06:39] Kamui**
Why are you doing this?!
**[06:42] Kamui**
You don't have the right to take away
fighters' bonds with Vanguard!
**[06:48] Ibuki**
Just what is with this shop?
**[06:51] Ibuki**
All these noisy spectators make it
hard to concentrate on the fight.
**[06:55] Kai**
Hold on, Ibuki.
**[06:58] Kai**
Your units are overflowing with the emotions
of "hatred" and "profound abandonment."
**[07:04] Kai**
Tell me, Ibuki.
**[07:06] Kai**
Why did you, our onetime vanguard,
choose units like these?!
**[07:11] Ibuki**
Your "vanguard," huh?
**[07:15] Ibuki**
I did once teach you guys the joy of Vanguard,
**[07:19] Ibuki**
which combines elements
of wisdom, insight and fate.
**[07:24] Ibuki**
But now, I truly regret having done that.
**[07:28] Kai**
You regret it?!
**[07:30] Ibuki**
Strong or weak, win or loss...
**[07:34] Ibuki**
You're forced into an endless ranking system.
**[07:37] Ibuki**
That's the world of Vanguard.
**[07:39] Ibuki**
And I'm the one who lured
you guys into that infinite hell.
**[07:45] Ibuki**
That's why...
**[07:47] Ibuki**
...it's time for me to cut you guys loose
from the bonds that shackle you!
**[07:56] Miwa**
Kai!
**[07:58] Ibuki**
Begone!
**[08:00] Ibuki**
Greion, Delete End!
**[08:08] Kamui**
A perfect guard!
**[08:12] Shin**
It looks like Kai still has a shred of hope.
**[08:16] Asaka**
But if he possesses that power,
that PSYqualia, then he can see
**[08:22] Asaka**
the image of Toshiki Kai losing!
**[08:25] Ibuki**
Twin drive.
**[08:27] Ibuki**
First check.
**[08:28] Ibuki**
Critical trigger.
**[08:30] Ibuki**
I give all of the effects to Geali.
**[08:32] Ibuki**
Second check.
**[08:34] Kamui**
A double critical?!
**[08:36] Ibuki**
You're going to lose, Kai!
**[08:39] Miwa**
This makes Geali's power 42,000!
**[08:41] Shin**
And with three criticals!
**[08:43] Shin**
Unless Kai can protect himself
from this attack, he's going to lose!
**[08:52] Aermo**
My Vanguard!
**[08:53] Genjo**
May you be victorious!
**[08:55] Miwa**
That was close!
**[08:57] Kamui**
He managed to block it
with a bunch of guardians!
**[09:00] Shin**
Conserving the cards in his hand
that last turn certainly paid off!
**[09:05] Ibuki**
Feeling desperate, Kai?
**[09:07] Ibuki**
Are you that afraid of being deleted?
**[09:10] Kai**
Yes.
**[09:12] Kai**
Vanguard is my...
**[09:14] Ibuki**
Were you about to say "hope"?
**[09:18] Ibuki**
You used to be so full of hope.
**[09:22] Ibuki**
At least, until you disappeared...
**[09:35] Ibuki**
I heard your parents abandoned you.
**[09:38] Miwa**
Ibuki! You don't have to put it like that!
**[09:41] Kai**
It's okay, Miwa.
**[09:42] Kai**
It's the truth.
**[09:44] Kai**
While it's true that I went
through a rough time because of that,
**[09:47] Kai**
I still had Vanguard.
**[09:50] Kai**
I had the friends that I met through Vanguard,
**[09:52] Kai**
so I was able to overcome that adversity.
**[09:56] Ibuki**
You were looking to *this* for salvation?
**[09:59] Ibuki**
How naive can you get?
**[10:02] Kai**
Watch this and then tell me
if I'm naive or not!
**[10:05] Kai**
Arise once more, flames of the apocalypse!
**[10:10] Kai**
I ride!
**[10:15] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord the Great!
**[10:21] Kai**
Imaginary Gift!
**[10:23] Kai**
Force!
**[10:27] Kamui**
A second Imaginary Gift!
**[10:30] Miwa**
That's +20,000 power!
**[10:33] Kai**
Embodiment of hellfire lying dormant in Hades,
**[10:36] Kai**
now is the time to awaken
and fight alongside me!
**[10:41] Kai**
Dragonic Neoflame!
**[10:44] Kamui**
Awesome!
**[10:45] Miwa**
The Great has a skill that can
superior call Dragonic Neoflame!
**[10:52] Kyou**
Superior... call...
**[10:56] Kyou**
The heck?! This is so irritating!
**[10:59] Kai**
And then I call Bahr!
**[11:05] Kai**
I refuse to allow you to erase our bond!
**[11:26] Kai**
Neoflame Burst!
**[11:30] Kai**
I'm counting on you guys!
**[11:35] Ibuki**
Oh no, you don't!
**[11:39] Kamui**
Rats!
**[11:40] Miwa**
He blocked it!
**[11:42] Kai**
I'm not done yet!
**[11:43] Kai**
The Great attacks your Vanguard!
**[11:46] Kai**
Dragonic Neoflame's skill activates!
**[11:49] Kai**
The Great gets +5000 power!
**[11:52] Kai**
Counterblast!
**[11:53] Kai**
The Great gets an extra critical!
**[12:02] Kamui**
So he did have a perfect guard!
**[12:05] Miwa**
Yeah, but that proves Ibuki is shaken up.
**[12:08] Asaka**
What about the drive check?
**[12:12] Kai**
As long as they have their fighting spirit,
**[12:14] Kai**
the dragons of Kagero
**[12:15] Kai**
will rise again!
**[12:18] Asaka**
He re-stood two cards at once?!
**[12:20] Shin**
The Great really is great!
**[12:22] Kai**
I'm going to burn up your
deep resentment, right here and now!
**[12:28] Ibuki**
No guard.
**[12:29] Kai**
Drive check!
**[12:31] Kai**
Critical trigger!
**[12:32] Kai**
I give the power to Dragonic Neoflame,
**[12:35] Kai**
and the extra critical to The Great!
**[12:44] Miwa**
Kai's attack went through!
**[12:47] Kamui**
Then he did it?
**[12:52] Ibuki**
Damage check...
**[13:01] Ibuki**
Heal trigger.
**[13:03] Kai**
PSY...qualia...?
**[13:06] Ibuki**
I give the power to Greion.
**[13:09] Shin**
Oh no...
**[13:11] Kamui**
Kai re-stood Neoflame, but now
its attack is gonna get blocked!
**[13:24] Kai**
For how long?
**[13:28] Kai**
How long have you been fighting
while using that PSYqualia sense?
**[13:34] Ibuki**
When I was staring into the abyss,
**[13:38] Ibuki**
this ability awakened.
**[13:43] Ibuki**
And then...
**[13:45] Ibuki**
...I was guided to
put together this Deletor deck.
**[13:51] Ibuki**
Kai...
**[13:53] Ibuki**
If our fights hadn't been so much fun,
**[14:00] Ibuki**
I would've trashed this deck right away.
**[14:06] Ibuki**
It's my turn!
**[14:08] Ibuki**
Ride The Vanguard!
**[14:21] Ibuki**
My avatar...
**[14:23] Ibuki**
Waving Deletor, Greidhol!
**[14:27] Ibuki**
Imaginary Gift! Force!
**[14:33] Ibuki**
Greidhol's skill activates!
**[14:40] Ibuki**
Vanish Delete!
**[14:42] Kai**
What?!
**[14:44] Ibuki**
The beat of your heart,
**[14:47] Ibuki**
the sound of your breath,
**[14:49] Ibuki**
the rustling of your clothes...
**[14:52] Ibuki**
I'm going to delete every
last sound that you produce!
**[14:57] Ibuki**
Greidhol will do it for me!
**[15:02] Ibuki**
Turn to dust and blow away!
**[15:05] Ibuki**
Docking Release!
**[15:19] Kai**
Ibuki, let's play Vanguard!
**[15:23] Ibuki**
Don't bother me!
**[15:25] Ibuki**
Greidhol attacks your Vanguard!
**[15:28] Kai**
No guard!
**[15:29] Ibuki**
Twin drive...
**[15:30] Ibuki**
First check!
**[15:33] Ibuki**
Second check!
**[15:35] Kai**
Damage check...
**[15:45] Shin**
Kai!
**[15:46] Kamui**
Kai!
**[15:47] Miwa**
Kai!
**[15:53] Kai**
Ibuki...
**[15:55] Kai**
You've even manifested PSYqualia.
**[15:59] Kai**
No matter how much
you talk about resentment,
**[16:02] Kai**
I suspect that, even now,
you're still enjoying Vanguard.
**[16:06] Ibuki**
Delete End!
**[16:09] Kai**
Just like he does.
**[16:18] Ibuki**
Begone!
**[16:20] Ibuki**
Disappear!
**[16:36] Ibuki**
What is this?
**[16:42] Ibuki**
Memories...?
**[16:45] Ibuki**
My PSYqualia is showing me...
**[16:47] Ibuki**
...Kai's memories of Vanguard.
**[17:12] Miwa**
Kai!
**[17:13] Kai**
Just as Tetsu said...
**[17:15] Kai**
So this is the sensation of having
your bond with Vanguard... disappear?
**[17:28] Ibuki**
Congratulations, Kai.
**[17:29] Ibuki**
Now you too have been released
from the curse of Vanguard.
**[17:35] Kai**
I'm used to loss.
**[17:37] Kai**
I'm sure I can start over again.
**[17:45] Miwa**
Steady, man!
**[17:54] Rekka**
I'll have a cola.
**[17:56] Ren**
Buy it yourself.
**[17:57] Rekka**
Cheapskate! I wanna cola!
**[17:57] Asaka**
Hello?
**[17:58] Tetsu**
It's me.
**[18:00] Ren**
Shhh!
**[18:00] Tetsu**
We received word that Aichi Sendou
is on his way to Tatsunagi's home.
**[18:03] Tetsu**
We're going to follow him there.
**[18:06] Tetsu**
How are things on your side?
**[18:08] Asaka**
Actually...
**[18:11] Ibuki**
I just settled things here.
**[18:14] Ibuki**
I've deleted Kai.
**[18:17] Tetsu**
Kai... lost?!
**[18:20] Ibuki**
I'll be on my way to the Tatsunagi residence.
**[18:23] Ibuki**
Tell Ren that it's his turn next.
**[18:27] Tetsu**
Wait!
**[18:30] Ren**
Sounds like a worst-case scenario.
**[18:32] Tetsu**
I'm sorry about this.
**[18:34] Ren**
No need to apologize.
**[18:36] Ren**
He's the bad guy, after all.
**[18:39] Rekka**
Sure you won't change your mind?
**[18:40] Rekka**
Do you stand a chance of beating
Takuto, Aichi and Ibuki all by yourself?
**[18:46] Ren**
I don't know...
**[18:50] Ren**
...but I'd like to do whatever I can.
**[18:53] Ren**
I hate to see the Vanguard
I love get messed around with.
**[19:01] Asaka**
Hold it!
**[19:04] Asaka**
I won't let you get to Ren!
**[19:07] Kamui**
Me neither! Fight me!
**[19:10] Ibuki**
What's this? You two wish
to be deleted, as well?
**[19:14] Asaka**
We won't know who wins...
**[19:16] Kamui**
...until we actually play!
**[19:20] Kyou**
Don't!
**[19:22] Kamui**
Kyou...
**[19:24] Kyou**
You mustn't fight him!
**[19:30] Kai**
Ibuki!
**[19:32] Ibuki**
What more do you want?
**[19:34] Ibuki**
To reminisce about the old days?
**[19:37] Kai**
No.
**[19:38] Kai**
If anything, let's talk about now.
**[19:42] Kai**
That was a fun Vanguard fight...
**[19:47] Miwa**
Kai!
**[20:09] Naoki**
The heck? This mansion's huge.
**[20:14] Shingo**
The Tatsunagi Foundation...
**[20:16] Shingo**
This is Takuto Tatsunagi's mansion!
**[20:19] Naoki**
What?!
**[20:20] Naoki**
Don't just stand around!
We've gotta get in there!
**[20:23] Shingo**
Wait!
**[20:24] Shingo**
What if we find a nest
of PSYqualia zombies inside?!
**[20:28] Naoki**
Bein' chicken ain't gonna help us!
**[20:30] Naoki**
Even the Boss came here
to snap Kourin out of it!
**[20:33] Naoki**
That's why she left Aichi
in your care, remember?!
**[20:38] Shingo**
So Misaki is in there, too...
**[20:46] The Two**
Suiko Tatsunagi!
**[20:49] Suiko**
Don't worry.
**[20:51] Suiko**
I'm not a zombie or a Vanguard fighter anymore.
**[20:55] Shingo**
There's something odd about her...
**[20:58] Naoki**
Is Kourin here?
**[20:59] Suiko**
Yes, she is. Go ahead.
**[21:24] Misaki**
Aichi!
**[23:11] Kamui**
Darn it! Now even Kai's had
his bond with Vanguard severed!
**[23:15] Kamui**
At this rate, Kyou won't
get back to normal either!
**[23:17] Kyou**
Don't worry, Kamui.
I've found a new hope.
**[23:21] Kamui**
What new hope?
**[23:22] Kyou**
It's a game that boasts
several hundred million players worldwide:
**[23:25] Kyou**
Mahjong!
**[23:26] Kyou**
Tomorrow, I'm gonna start
my new life as a mahjong player!
**[23:30] Tetsu**
Don't miss the new show,
*Yahagi: Legend of the Royal Cup.*
**[23:34] Kyou**
Double Push!
**[23:34] Kamui**
Whoa, you're gonna get in trouble
for stealing that tag line!
