**[00:00] Aichi**
Now, imagine it.
**[00:03] Aichi**
This is Cray, a planet very similar to Earth.
**[00:06] Aichi**
We've just arrived there as astral bodies.
**[00:17] Naitou**
I can see it!
**[00:19] Naitou**
What a global image!
**[00:22] Suwabe**
You're a visionary, President!
**[00:24] Maki**
Please open your eyes.
**[00:25] Maki**
You can't fight with them shut.
**[00:28] Naitou**
Oh, good point.
**[00:30] Kyou**
He often says that.
**[00:33] Kyou**
That expression.
**[00:34] Kamui**
Which expression?
**[00:36] Kyou**
"Imagine it" or whatever.
**[00:38] Kamui**
Yeah, to enjoy Vanguard,
imagination is what you need the most.
**[00:44] Kyou**
Really?
**[00:45] Kamui**
Of course!
**[00:46] Kamui**
I'm imagining it myself!
**[00:49] Kamui**
Riding my Vanguard and
fighting on the planet Cray!
**[00:56] Kamui**
You should try to imagine it too!
**[01:05] Kyou**
Yeah, right.
**[01:07] Kamui**
Hey! Take this seriously!
**[01:11] Kyou**
I can't imagine any of that stuff.
**[01:15] Shin**
It's about that time.
***SIGN*** The Road to the Vanguard Koshien
**[01:21] ULTRARARE**
The Road to the Vanguard Koshien!
***SIGN*** Suiko Rekka Kourin
**[01:24] Suiko**
In this program, we introduce high schools that
are aiming to participate in the Vanguard Koshien.
**[01:30] Naoki**
It's started.
**[01:31] Shingo**
I believe today it's...
***SIGN*** Vanguard Club
**[01:33] Rekka**
Today we'll love-love introduce
Hitsue High's Vanguard Club!
**[01:38] Aichi**
Kai, Miwa, and Morikawa go to Hitsue.
**[01:43] Misaki**
This show is live, right?
**[01:45] Misaki**
I just hope they don't do anything goofy.
***SIGN*** Vanguard Club
**[01:49] Rekka**
Let's go in!
**[01:52] Morikawa**
I'm the captain here!
**[01:54] Miwa**
I said, just let me be captain for today!
**[01:56] Morikawa**
I'm gonna be the one who gets to talk to Kourin!
**[01:58] Miwa**
I wanna talk to Suiko!
***SIGN*** Please stand by.
**[02:06] Naoki**
They embarrassed themselves
on a nationwide broadcast.
**[02:09] Misaki**
They're probably banned from the show now.
***SIGN*** Morikawa Hitsue High Captain
**[02:13] Kourin**
All right, let's get back on track.
**[02:15] Kourin**
I'd like to interview the
club captain, Morikawa.
**[02:19] Kourin**
We hear a very strong fighter
has joined your club.
**[02:22] Miwa**
Me! Me! Me! Me!
**[02:25] Kourin**
But it seems he isn't here today.
**[02:27] Miwa**
Oof...
**[02:27] Morikawa**
Yeah, he just officially signed up,
**[02:31] Morikawa**
but never actually comes to the club!
**[02:33] Morikawa**
Kai!
**[02:34] Morikawa**
We had you become a member so we could win!
**[02:37] Morikawa**
So quit brushing us off!
**[02:39] Morikawa**
You've gotta be watching this, right?!
You should be here, practicing with us!
**[02:39] Shin**
I see. So he hasn't been going to the club...
**[02:43] Shin**
And I haven't seen him here lately, either.
**[02:47] Aichi**
Kai...
***SIGN*** The Road to the Vanguard Koshien
**[02:55] ULTRARARE**
Thank you for watching this week's episode!
**[02:58] Suiko**
Next time we'll feature a
team that's likely to win!
**[03:01] Rekka**
Gouki Daimonji!
**[03:04] Kamui**
It's Gouki!
**[03:05] Kourin**
And Kenji Mitsusada!
**[03:09] Suiko**
These two, who dominated the Asia Circuit,
belong to Harumi High's Vanguard Club!
**[03:15] Kamui**
I see! So Gouki's gonna be on TV!
**[03:18] Shin**
Top idols, ULTRARARE, visiting their school...
**[03:21] Shin**
Don't you just envy them?
**[03:23] Kyou**
Really?
***SIGN*** The Road to Vanguard Koshien
**[03:25] ULTRARARE**
See you then!
**[03:27] Kyou**
I don't know why, but this girl ticks me off!
**[03:30] Kyou**
Seriously!
***SIGN*** Dimension 5 Lost Imagination
***SIGN*** Vanguard Koshien Victory
**[05:15] Kawanami**
I can smell a heal trigger, woof!
**[05:19] Kawanami**
There! Oh no, it's a draw trigger!
**[05:26] Kawanami**
Thank you for the game...
**[05:30] Asaka**
What are you doing, Kishida?!
**[05:32] Asaka**
For the Vanguard Koshien,
we'll be fighting as a team of five!
**[05:35] Asaka**
Is this all you've got?!
**[05:39] Asaka**
And it's not just Kishida!
**[05:41] Asaka**
We've got other members
who lack enthusiasm, too!
**[05:43] Asaka**
Pull yourselves together!
**[05:45] Ren**
The members aren't the only ones
who've lost their motivation.
**[05:57] Ibuki**
Are you sure you have time to meet with me
while neglecting your club members...
**[06:01] Ibuki**
...Coach Tetsu Shinjou?
**[06:05] Tetsu**
I'm sure you already know this, Kouji Ibuki.
**[06:09] Tetsu**
Ever since you "deleted"
me and won that last fight,
**[06:14] Tetsu**
I've lost all my enthusiasm for Vanguard.
**[06:19] Tetsu**
I can't coach anymore.
**[06:22] Tetsu**
And it's not just me.
**[06:24] Tetsu**
We've got a lot of members who lost
their drive after you deleted them.
**[06:28] Ibuki**
Like I've told you over and over again,
even I don't know why that happened.
**[06:35] Tetsu**
But because of that,
**[06:36] Tetsu**
I'm having trouble putting together
a team for the Vanguard Koshien.
**[06:40] Tetsu**
You might as well join us.
**[06:42] Ibuki**
Even at the risk of making more people like you?
**[06:53] Ibuki**
It's true that I've
hated Vanguard with a passion.
**[06:57] Ibuki**
If I wanted to, I could go and ruin
the whole Vanguard Koshien tournament.
**[07:03] Ibuki**
However...
**[07:06] Ibuki**
...for some reason, I've started feeling
that I don't mind if Vanguard exists.
**[07:14] Ibuki**
Have I also...
**[07:15] Ibuki**
...lost something myself?
**[07:19] Kamui**
Hey!
**[07:22] Kamui**
Kyou!
**[07:23] Kamui**
It's time for our daily Vanguard fun!
**[07:26] Kyou**
Why'd you have to come to my school?!
**[07:29] Kyou**
Sheesh!
**[07:31] Kamui**
Whatever, let's just go!
**[07:34] Tetsu**
I could've sworn that Kyou Yahagi
was also deleted by Ibuki...
**[07:43] Emi**
See you later!
**[07:49] Aichi**
Emi went out?
**[07:51] Mom**
She's shopping with her friend.
**[07:53] Mom**
Hurry up and finish your breakfast, Aichi.
**[07:56] Aichi**
Okay!
**[07:59] Ushimaru**
Rekka!
**[08:01] Ushimaru**
Rekka!
**[08:03] Ushimaru**
Where are you?!
**[08:07] Kourin**
Rekka isn't here?
**[08:09] Ushimaru**
I bet she went off to have
another Vanguard fight!
**[08:12] Ushimaru**
Even after I pleaded with her
not to go out without permission!
**[08:16] Suiko**
Honestly...
**[08:18] Suiko**
I don't know what she sees in Vanguard.
**[08:21] Kourin**
You're not sounding like an official supporter.
**[08:25] Suiko**
I can't help it.
**[08:27] Suiko**
I've just lost interest for some reason.
**[08:30] Emi**
That's so cute!
**[08:32] Mai**
Emi, isn't that Rekka from ULTRARARE?
**[08:37] Fan A**
Rekka!
**[08:38] Fan B**
I want your autograph!
**[08:39] Fan C**
Shake my hand!
**[08:40] Rekka**
Stop following me!
**[08:43] Emi**
In here!
**[08:48] Fan**
This way?
**[08:48] Fan**
Let's go!
**[08:49] Emi**
You're safe now.
**[08:53] Rekka**
I wish people would know to leave
me alone on one of my few days off.
**[08:57] Rekka**
Thanks.
**[09:02] Rekka**
What? Have we met before?
**[09:05] Emi**
I don't think we have, but...
**[09:09] Rekka**
Right, of course not!
**[09:29] Rekka**
Ahh, that was fun!
**[09:31] Rekka**
Now if I could just play Vanguard,
it would be a perfect day.
**[09:34] Rekka**
Do you know of any good shops?
**[09:40] Emi**
Actually, I do!
**[09:44] Emi**
There's this place. I've been here before.
**[09:49] Emi**
Hello!
**[09:50] Gouki**
Next!
**[09:52] Member A**
That's me!
**[09:53] Gouki**
We don't have much time left
before the Vanguard Koshien.
**[09:57] Gouki**
You've gotta get fired up!
**[10:00] Rekka**
That's Gouki Daimonji from Harumi High,
the school we're covering next week!
**[10:04] Rekka**
I shouldn't have come here.
**[10:07] Emi**
Excuse me.
**[10:09] Rekka**
We shouldn't disturb them.
**[10:10] Rekka**
Let's play over there!
**[10:12] Rekka**
Okay?!
**[10:13] Emi**
Sure, okay!
**[10:18] Kyou**
It's my day off,
**[10:20] Kyou**
but here I am, going out with *this* guy...
**[10:24] Kyou**
Why do you care so much about me?
**[10:28] Kamui**
Why do I?
**[10:29] Kyou**
That's what I asked you!
**[10:32] Kamui**
Well, why not?
**[10:34] Kamui**
For a change of pace,
let's go to a different shop.
**[10:38] Kyou**
Sheesh...
**[10:42] Kamui**
'Sup!
**[10:44] Gouki**
Oh, Kamui!
**[10:46] Kamui**
Gouki!
**[10:47] Emi**
Kamui!
**[10:50] Emi**
Long time no see!
**[10:52] Kamui**
M-Miss Emi!
**[10:54] Kyou**
I never imagined I'd see *her* here.
**[10:58] Kamui**
H-Hey, Kyou!
**[11:00] Kyou**
Whenever I see you,
I get annoyed for some reason.
**[11:05] Kyou**
I'd like to send you flying,
but I can't get violent.
**[11:09] Kyou**
So instead...
**[11:14] Kyou**
Fight me,
**[11:16] Kyou**
Rekka Tatsunagi!
**[11:31] Gouki**
Did he say, "Rekka Tatsunagi"?!
**[11:33] Member A**
She's so cute!
**[11:34] Member B**
What's a genuine idol doing here?!
**[11:37] Gouki**
Pipe down!
**[11:40] Gouki**
Isn't the show on us not till next week?
**[11:43] Rekka**
I'm here as a private citizen.
**[11:46] Kamui**
Kyou, what are you...
**[11:47] Kyou**
Don't get the wrong idea.
**[11:49] Kyou**
It's not like I'm suddenly
interested in Vanguard.
**[11:53] Kyou**
It's just...
**[11:54] Kyou**
...I have to settle a score
with her, through Vanguard.
**[11:58] Kyou**
That's what my gut tells me!
**[12:04] Kawanami**
This scent...
**[12:13] Rekka**
Have we fought before?
**[12:16] Kyou**
Of course not.
**[12:19] Kawanami**
That's...
**[12:21] Kawanami**
...Kyou Yahagi!
**[12:24] Tetsu**
That's enough for today.
**[12:26] Tetsu**
Tomorrow is free practice.
**[12:27] Tetsu**
You can do it here, or you can fight
an unknown opponent at a shop.
**[12:33] Tetsu**
I just have one request.
**[12:37] Tetsu**
If you happen to see Kyou Yahagi
from the middle school fighting,
**[12:41] Tetsu**
I want you to contact me immediately.
**[12:43] Tetsu**
I'm counting on you.
**[12:46] Kawanami**
I'll contact him right a-woof!
**[12:54] Rekka**
White Lily Musketeer, Cecilia...
**[12:57] Rekka**
Love-love ride!
**[13:05] Kyou**
No trigger...
**[13:08] Kyou**
Darn it!
**[13:09] Member A**
Rekka won!
**[13:11] Member B**
She's not an official supporter for nothing!
**[13:13] Member C**
More like, her opponent was too weak!
**[13:19] Tetsu**
Kyou...
**[13:21] Kyou**
Tetsu...
**[13:22] Kyou**
You were watching?
**[13:24] Tetsu**
Well done!
**[13:26] Tetsu**
I'm impressed you fought to the end!
**[13:29] Gouki**
What do you mean?
**[13:32] Tetsu**
This boy, Kyou Yahagi, was "deleted"
by a fighter named Ibuki,
**[13:37] Tetsu**
and ever since then,
he's lost all interest in Vanguard.
**[13:41] Gouki**
All interest in Vanguard?!
**[13:44] Rekka**
That's just like Suiko!
**[13:47] Tetsu**
Some people who've been deleted
**[13:49] Tetsu**
have even had Vanguard's very
existence erased from their memory.
**[13:53] Tetsu**
But Kyou fought to the end.
**[13:57] Tetsu**
I know just how tough that is.
**[14:01] Tetsu**
Because I, too...
**[14:03] Tetsu**
...was deleted.
**[14:06] Tetsu**
Kyou and I aren't the only
ones who have been deleted.
**[14:09] Tetsu**
Several members of our club
at Fukuhara were as well.
**[14:12] Tetsu**
As well as...
**[14:14] Tetsu**
...Toshiki Kai!
**[14:16] Gouki**
Toshiki Kai?!
**[14:22] Kenji**
I haven't seen you since the
shop tournament, Toshiki Kai.
**[14:27] Kai**
Aren't you...
**[14:29] Kenji**
Kenji Mitsusada. Do you remember me?
**[14:32] Kai**
I guess.
**[14:33] Kenji**
I hear your club is aiming
to win at the Vanguard Koshien?
**[14:37] Kenji**
I saw your captain shouting about it on TV.
**[14:42] Kenji**
Of course my school, Harumi High,
is also going for the win.
**[14:45] Kenji**
Even now, we're doing
intensive training at Voyage.
**[14:48] Kenji**
Why don't you come with me?
**[14:51] Kai**
No thanks.
**[14:53] Kenji**
Please!
**[14:55] Kenji**
The truth is...
**[14:57] Kenji**
...I took the wrong train and got lost!
**[15:06] Kamui**
You did great, Kyou!
**[15:08] Kamui**
You fought someone besides me!
**[15:12] Kyou**
Not yet...
**[15:14] Customer A**
Rekka, fight me next!
**[15:16] Customer B**
No, me!
**[15:17] Customer C**
Fight me, just once!
**[15:21] Kyou**
Fight me once more, Rekka Tatsunagi!
**[15:26] Kamui**
I-I'd like you to fight him again, too!
**[15:28] Tetsu**
Fight Kyou again!
**[15:31] Emi**
Rekka...
**[15:33] Rekka**
I'm here on my own time.
**[15:36] Rekka**
So I'm going to fight whomever I want.
**[15:42] Rekka**
I'll fight you until you're satisfied!
**[15:45] Kamui**
Yeah!
**[15:46] Tetsu**
I appreciate it.
**[15:48] Rekka**
Actually...
**[15:52] Rekka**
...there's something bothering me, too.
**[15:55] Kai**
It should be around here.
**[15:57] Nagisa**
It's Koutei!
**[16:01] Kenji**
Hi, Nagisa and...
**[16:04] Kenji**
...who, again?
**[16:05] Nagisa**
You can call them the Three Stooges.
**[16:07] Tsuneto**
We're not the Three Stooges! I'm Tsuneto!
**[16:09] Carl**
I'm Carl!
**[16:10] Kei**
Kei!
**[16:13] Kenji**
Oh, right! It just slipped my mind.
**[16:15] Nagisa**
What are you doing here?
**[16:18] Nagisa**
My brother's been at Voyage for a while now.
**[16:20] Kenji**
Well...
**[16:22] Kei**
Another slip-up?
**[16:24] Carl**
Wait, are you lost?
**[16:27] Nagisa**
Atten-shun!
**[16:28] Nagisa**
Face...
**[16:29] Nagisa**
...right!
**[16:33] Kenji**
Voyage is right there!
**[16:35] Nagisa**
Come on, let's go! We'll escort you!
**[16:38] Kenji**
You don't have to...
**[16:39] Kei**
Here we go...
**[16:45] Kai**
It's him...
**[16:47] Kyou**
No trigger!
**[16:51] Gouki**
He understands the rules,
**[16:53] Gouki**
and the progression of the fight
doesn't seem to be a problem, but...
**[16:57] Rekka**
That makes ten losses in a row now.
Can you keep going?
**[17:03] Tetsu**
Has he lost heart?
**[17:05] Kamui**
Of course he'll keep going!
**[17:09] Kamui**
I'm right behind you, Kyou!
**[17:13] Ren**
Boy...
**[17:15] Ren**
Have you ever seen your units in profile?
**[17:20] Kyou**
They aren't drawn in profile...
**[17:23] Ren**
But they fight alongside you
on the planet Cray, and protect you.
**[17:28] Ren**
Seeing them in profile is only natural.
**[17:32] Ren**
You just have to imagine it, boy.
**[17:35] Ren**
Then maybe one day, you'll be able
to hear the voices of the cards too.
**[17:42] Kyou**
Imagine it...
**[17:44] Rekka**
Can we get started?
**[17:46] Kyou**
Y-Yeah!
**[17:48] Kyou/Rekka**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[17:52] Tetsu**
Like you, Kyou was deleted,
but he's recovered this much.
**[17:57] Tetsu**
That boy, Kamui Katsuragi,
has played a major part in his recovery.
**[18:03] Tetsu**
However...
**[18:05] Tetsu**
...the effects of Delete are still there.
**[18:08] Tetsu**
Something crucial is missing.
**[18:12] Tetsu**
If we could figure out what that is,
both of us might be able to get our mojo back.
**[18:24] Kyou**
Stand and draw!
**[18:25] Aichi**
Now, imagine it.
**[18:29] Kyou**
Imagine it...
**[18:35] Kamui**
I'm imagining it myself!
**[18:38] Kyou**
I must've been able to imagine it before, too!
**[18:44] Kyou**
This layout...
**[18:46] Kyou**
I've seen it before!
**[18:50] Kyou**
I ride Dueling Dragon, ZANBAKU!
**[18:56] Kyou**
I'll blow you away!
**[18:58] Rekka**
White Lily Musketeer, Cecilia...
**[19:01] Rekka**
Love-love ride!
**[19:07] Kyou**
Wh-What was that?!
**[19:09] Rekka**
We've fought each other before today?!
**[19:13] Ren**
Imagine it, boy.
**[19:18] Kyou**
Imagine it...
**[19:22] Kyou**
I have to imagine it!
**[19:30] Kyou**
That's right!
**[19:31] Kyou**
I'm Dueling Dragon, ZANBAKU! And...
**[19:34] Kyou**
...I can see them in profile!
**[19:38] Kyou**
Here I go! I ride!
**[19:49] Kyou**
Dueling Dragon King, ZANGEKI!
**[19:53] Kyou**
Twin Swordsman, MUSASHI! You're up!
**[19:55] Musashi**
As you wish!
**[19:56] Kyou**
Move up, Million Rat!
**[19:59] Rekka**
W-Wait!
**[20:00] Kyou**
This time for sure,
**[20:02] Kyou**
I'm gonna blow you away!
**[20:13] Rekka**
I lost...
**[20:18] Kyou**
I... did... it...
**[20:22] Kamui**
Kyou! Are you okay?!
**[20:26] Kyou**
I totally forgot how much fun Vanguard is!
**[20:32] Kamui**
Kyou's back!
**[20:34] Tsuneto**
Isn't it obvious that Vanguard is fun?
**[20:38] Carl**
Maybe he got hit on the head?
**[20:40] Kei**
Yeah...
**[20:41] Kyou**
Shut up, you third-rate dregs!
**[20:43] Kamui**
Even his sharp tongue is back!
**[20:46] The Three**
Third-rate dregs?!
**[20:49] Tsuneto**
Wh-What does "third-rate dregs" mean?
**[20:53] Kei**
Short for "three dragons"?
**[20:55] Tsuneto**
That's way better than "Three Stooges"!
**[20:57] Tsuneto**
"Three Dragons"! I like the sound of it!
**[20:59] Carl**
Why don't we make it cooler, though?
With "trio," or "triple"...
**[21:03] Kei**
"Trinity"!
**[21:04] Tsuneto**
That's it!
**[21:05] The Three**
We are...
**[21:07] The Three**
...Team Trinity Dragon!
**[21:11] Kamui**
Thank goodness they misunderstood...
**[21:15] Tetsu**
I don't know the reason why,
**[21:17] Tetsu**
but for Kyou, beating Rekka was necessary
for him to break free of Delete's influence.
**[21:25] Tetsu**
Which means...
**[21:26] Tetsu**
...if the other people who were
deleted could also find their triggers...
**[21:32] Mamoru**
You're Toshiki Kai, aren't you?
**[21:35] Mamoru**
The one they call the "Solitary Fighter."
**[21:38] Kai**
Who are you?
**[21:40] Kenji**
Mamoru Anjou.
**[21:42] Kenji**
He's a member of Harumi High's Vanguard Club.
**[21:45] Kenji**
Like you, he uses a Kagero deck.
**[21:48] Mamoru**
I've always wanted to fight you,
the strongest Kagero user around.
**[21:54] Mamoru**
It seems like you've fallen
on hard times, though.
**[21:59] Mamoru**
Still, maybe meeting you
here is some kind of fate.
**[22:04] Mamoru**
Including the fact that
I brought this card here.
**[22:08] Kai**
Card?
**[22:10] Mamoru**
Dragonic Overlord...
**[22:12] Mamoru**
THE END!
**[23:46] Narrator**
The 30-second card intro segment!
**[23:48] Narrator**
Today's featured card is Kyou's ace in
the hole, Dueling Dragon King, ZANGEKI!
***SIGN*** Dueling Dragon King, ZANGEKI
**[23:53] Narrator**
With a Left Arrester in the
front row, this unit gains power,
**[23:55] Narrator**
and with a Right Arrester,
it gains an extra critical.
**[23:58] Narrator**
Also, if there's a card in the Soul
with "Dueling Dragon" in its name,
**[24:01] Narrator**
your opponent can only guard against
ZANGEKI with grade 0 units from their hand.
**[24:05] Narrator**
And Imaginary Gift, Accel,
increases its number of attacks,
**[24:08] Narrator**
allowing for consecutive attacks!
**[24:10] Narrator**
With this card,
you too can "Ride The Vanguard"!
***SIGN*** Ride The Vanguard!
**[24:15] Gouki**
Of course Harumi High is aimin'
to win at the Vanguard Koshien!
**[24:20] Gouki**
Let's sing our school song, loud and proud!
**[24:22] Gouki**
Mitsusada, you do lead vocals!
**[24:24] Kenji**
Got it! Okay, here I go!
**[24:26] Kenji**
Who we are is Team Asteroid!
**[24:29] Gouki**
That's not it!
**[24:30] Kenji**
Sorry, it just slipped out!
**[24:32] Mamoru**
Gouki, sorry, but I don't think
we can sing our school song.
**[24:35] Gouki**
Are you saying we can't win, Mamoru?!
**[24:38] Mamoru**
No, but Harumi High doesn't have a school song!
***SIGN*** Dimension 6
The Beginning of The End
**[24:41] Gouki**
Wh-What?! Let's make them write one, right away!
**[24:43] Kenji**
"Them" who?!
