[00:01] Koutei
    Oh, sorry everyone!
[00:04] Koutei
    I got on the wrong train!
[00:09] Koutei
    It's you, isn't it? Now I'm sure.
[00:13] Koutei
    I've been looking forward to my fight with you,
[00:17] Koutei
    Toshiki Kai.
[00:20] Kai
    Let's go, then.
[00:22] Koutei
    Right.
[00:30] Aichi
    Vanguard.
[00:31] Aichi
    It's a card game in which you yourself
    become the vanguard and fight!
[00:36] Kai
    Imagine it!
    Imagination will become your strength!

[02:32] Leon
    This means I'll be able to fight you.
[02:40] Aichi
    My opponent is Leon Soryu,
    the Asia Circuit champion.
[02:46] Koutei
    Shall we begin?
[03:03] Kai
    Stand up, The Vanguard!
[03:03] Koutei
    Stand up, Vanguard!
SIGN    Image 9 Kai Loses!!
[03:13] Unit
    Red Kick!
[03:16] Koutei
    Go for it!
[03:23] Koutei
    My turn is over.
[03:28] Miwa
    Koutei's already unleashed
    three attacks in a row.
[03:31] Kamui
    Too bad he drew that critical trigger.
[03:34] Kamui
    Kai could've just had 1 damage.
[03:36] Nagisa
    Good going, Koutei!
[03:42] Nagisa
    Nyaaah!
[03:45] Misaki
    But now it's Kai's turn.
[03:50] Aichi
    Kai...
[03:55] Kai
    Ride!
[03:59] Kai
    Berserk Dragon!
[04:06] Kai
    Onward!
[04:16] Koutei
    Damage check!
[04:18] Koutei
    Draw trigger!
[04:21] Koutei
    I give the power to my Vanguard.
[04:27] Morikawa
    Now his Daidragon's got 20,000 power?!
[04:32] Izaki
    But Bellicosity Dragon
    boosted by Aermo has 21,000 power!
[04:37] Inenaga
    He can beat Daidragon!
[04:41] Kai
    Bellicosity, attack Cosmo Beak!
[04:47] The Three
    Huh?!
[04:48] Miwa
    Kai was annoyed by
    Koutei's three consecutive attacks.
[04:53] Miwa
    That's why he prioritized
    retiring a rear-guard instead.
[04:57] Morikawa
    Oh, I see...
[05:01] Morikawa
    I mean, I knew that! Of course!
[05:05] Koutei
    Daibattles!
[05:08] Kai
    I knew it. He's desperately
    defending his rear-guards.
[05:12] Koutei
    Next turn, I'm going to
    beat the daylights out of you.
[05:19] Emi
    It's kind of like Kai's playing the bad guy.
[05:22] Kamui
    You said it, Miss Emi!
[05:24] Kamui
    Except he's not "playing,"
    he really is a bad guy!
[05:27] Kamui
    Don't get too close to him!
[05:29] Aichi
    But Kai...
[05:33] Aichi
    He looks like he's having so much fun.
[05:36] The Two
    Huh?!
[05:37] Kamui
    It looks like he's having fun?
[05:39] Emi
    I don't see it.
[05:44] Koutei
    Trans-dimension!
[05:52] Koutei&Daiyusha
    A heart of justice burns with flame!
[05:55] Koutei&Daiyusha
    Super Dimensional Robo, Daiyusha!
[06:00] Koutei
    Imaginary Gift! Force!
[06:03] Daiyusha
    Yeah!
[06:07] Koutei
    Daiyusha gets +10,000 power!
[06:10] Koutei
    And then I call! Daidragon! Daibrave!
[06:14] Koutei
    Daidragon's skill activates!
[06:16] Koutei
    Soulblast!
[06:18] Koutei
    Daiyusha gets +5000 power!
[06:21] Miwa
    That means Daiyusha's power is now 28,000!
[06:25] Daiyusha
    Everyone!
[06:26] Daiyusha
    Attack!
[06:28] Unit
    Yes, my Vanguard!
[06:29] Unit
    Yes, sir!
[06:31] Koutei
    If I'd called a Daibrave behind Daiyusha,
[06:35] Koutei
    the power would be over 35,000,
[06:37] Koutei
    and I'd have an extra critical.
[06:40] Koutei
    However...
[06:42] Kai
    If he draws even one trigger,
    his power will be over 35,000.
[06:46] Kai
    He's attacking with that in mind?
[06:56] Koutei
    Strike him down, hammer of justice!
[07:05] Koutei&Daiyusha
    Special move! Justice Sword!
[07:13] Koutei
    Drive check!
[07:14] Koutei
    No trigger.
[07:15] Koutei
    Second check!
[07:17] Koutei
    Critical trigger!
[07:18] Koutei
    I give the power to my Vanguard!
[07:22] Miwa
    Now Daiyusha has over 35,000 power!
[07:26] Koutei
    I give the critical to...
[07:28] Koutei
    ...Daidragon!
[07:29] Morikawa
    What?!
[07:30] Morikawa
    If he'd given it to Daiyusha,
    then he'd have 3 criticals!
[07:35] Kai
    I get it.
[07:43] Izaki
    Now he's got 4 damage!
[07:45] Inenaga
    Yeah, but it could've been 5 damage!
[07:50] Kai
    Demonic Dragon Mage, Rakshasa!
    Lizard Soldier, Raopia!
[08:02] Koutei
    Daiyusha's skill increases criticals.
[08:07] Koutei
    Whether your damage is 4 or 5,
[08:10] Koutei
    it doesn't change the fact that
    I'll be finishing you off next turn.
[08:14] Kai
    That's why he left my damage at just 4,
[08:17] Kai
    which decreased my chances of
    drawing a trigger with a damage check,
[08:20] Kai
    and limited my Counterblasts.
[08:23] Kai
    Plus he got me to use up cards from my hand.
[08:26] Kai
    Makes sense.
[08:28] Kai
    Stand and draw!
[08:33] Kai
    So if he had made me
    take more damage last turn,
[08:37] Kai
    I would've drawn a trigger...
[08:44] Kai
    Koutei's been controlling
    the flow of this game. But now...
[08:50] Kai
    Here I go!
[08:53] Kai
    Dragonic Overlord,
[08:56] Kai
    "The Vanguard"!
[09:06] Kai
    Imaginary Gift! Force!
[09:09] Kai
    The gift gives +10,000 power.
[09:11] Kai
    And then I call Bellicosity Dragon!
[09:14] Kai
    Overlord's skill activates.
[09:16] Kai
    Soulblast!
[09:18] Kai
    Overlord gets +10,000 power.
[09:22] Miwa
    Now Overlord has 33,000 power!
[09:26] Morikawa
    Koutei's gotta guard against that!
[09:32] Kai
    Behold the power and might
    known as the Flames of Apocalypse.
[09:49] Koutei
    No guard!
[09:54] Miwa
    But doesn't Koutei have
    a perfect guard in his hand?!
[09:57] Morikawa
    Guess not.
[10:03] Kai
    Drive check.
[10:05] Kai
    No trigger.
[10:06] Kai
    Second check.
[10:08] Kai
    Critical trigger!
[10:09] Kai
    I give all the effects to my Vanguard!
[10:17] Koutei
    Sorry, Daiyusha!
[10:18] Daiyusha
    It's okay!
[10:22] Nagisa
    That's 4 damage! Drat!
[10:25] Gouki
    Don't worry, Nagisa.
[10:26] Nagisa
    Huh?
[10:28] Kai
    Since the attack hit,
    Overlord's skill activates!
[10:32] Kai
    Counterblast!
[10:33] Kai
    I also discard two cards from my hand.
[10:38] Kai
    Once more!
[10:41] Miwa
    With this attack,
    Koutei will have 6 damage!
[10:44] Miwa
    He's finished!
[10:45] Koutei
    Not so fast!
[10:48] Koutei
    Perfect guard!
[10:49] Koutei
    Diamond Ace!
[10:51] Ace
    You won't get past me!
[10:53] Miwa
    S-So he did have one!
[10:56] Morikawa
    Why didn't he use it earlier?!
[10:59] Kai
    So that was his ploy...
[11:04] Nagisa
    If he'd guarded against that first attack,
    then Overlord's skill wouldn't have activated!
[11:10] Gouki
    Sure, but when Overlord restands,
    he only gets one drive check.
[11:15] Gouki
    And payin' the cost for
    that skill has reduced his hand.
[11:20] Gouki
    It was a move calculated to decrease
    Toshiki Kai's defense during his next turn.
[11:25] Gouki
    Still, plays like that
    take beyond average courage.
[11:29] Kai
    Drive check.
[11:31] Kai
    Critical trigger!
[11:32] Miwa
    Kai's got an opening!
[11:35] Miwa
    I give all the effects to Bellicosity Dragon.
[11:44] Miwa
    If this goes through, Kai wins!
[11:47] Koutei
    Daibattles!
[11:48] Koutei
    Cosmo Beak!
[11:55] Miwa
    Seriously?
[12:01] Koutei
    It's my turn, huh?
SIGN    Sub Manager
[12:18] Koutei
    Daidragon's skill activates!
[12:20] Koutei
    Soulblast!
[12:22] Koutei
    Daiyusha gets +5000 power!
[12:26] Koutei
    Daibrave's skill activates!
[12:29] Koutei
    Soulblast!
[12:30] Koutei
    Daiyusha gets another +5000 power!
[12:33] Koutei
    I call Cosmo Beak!
[12:35] Koutei
    Cosmo Beak's skill activates!
[12:38] Koutei
    Counterblast!
[12:40] Koutei
    Daiyusha gets +5000 power!
[12:42] Daiyusha
    Brave up!
[12:44] Koutei
    Daiyusha's power has surpassed 35,000,
    so he gets an extra critical!
[12:51] Koutei
    Furthermore...
[12:52] Koutei
    By resting a rear-guard,
[12:54] Koutei
    Daiyusha gets +10,000 power!
[12:58] Morikawa
    So what's the total now?
[13:03] Miwa
    48,000.
[13:05] Morikawa
    48,000?!
[13:09] Koutei
    Strike him down, hammer of justice!
[13:16] Koutei&Daiyusha
    Special move! Justice Sword!
[13:21] Kai
    To me, Wyvern Guard, Barri!
[13:25] Koutei
    A perfect guard, huh?
[13:27] Koutei
    Drive check!
[13:30] Koutei
    No trigger.
[13:32] Koutei
    Second check!
[13:34] Koutei
    Critical trigger!
[13:35] Koutei
    I give all of the effects to Cosmo Beak!
[13:43] Koutei
    If you thought that would fend off
    Daiyusha's attack, you were sorely mistaken!
[13:50] Koutei
    Watch this, Toshiki Kai.
[13:52] Koutei
    Daiyusha, give me the ultimate power!
[13:56] Koutei
    Trans-dimension!
[14:06] Koutei&Daiyusha
    True justice penetrates the darkness!
[14:09] Koutei&Daiyusha
    Ultimate Dimensional Robo, Great Daiyusha!
[14:15] Koutei
    On the turn when he's ridden,
    Great Daiyusha gets +10,000 power!
[14:19] Daiyusha
    Yeah!
[14:22] Koutei
    Furthermore, with Great Daiyusha's skill,
[14:25] Koutei
    each of my front-row units gets +10,000 power!
[14:28] Daiyusha
    Yeah!
[14:31] Koutei
    Furthermore...
[14:32] Koutei
    Imaginary Gift! Force!
[14:34] Daiyusha
    Yeah!
[14:38] Koutei
    With the gift, Daidragon gets +10,000 power!
[14:43] Morikawa
    40,000, again...
[14:45] Miwa
    And right after he
    survived a 48,000 attack, too!
[14:50] Daiyusha
    Let's go, Koutei!
[14:53] Koutei
    Yes! Great Daiyusha!
[14:56] Daiyusha
    Don't fall behind,
    my Dimensional Police comrades!
[14:59] Unit
    Yes, sir!
[15:00] Unit
    Aye aye, sir!
[15:04] Kai
    No guard!
[15:06] Aichi
    Kai!
[15:08] Koutei
    Take this! The ultimate hammer!
[15:11] Koutei&Daiyusha
    Super-special move! Great Justice Punch!
[15:15] Koutei
    Drive check!
[15:16] Miwa
    Please God!
[15:19] Koutei
    No trigger!
[15:21] Koutei
    Second check!
[15:22] Koutei
    No trigger.
[15:25] Morikawa
    Is this the time to feel relieved?!
[15:30] Kai
    Damage check.
[15:33] Kai
    Critical trigger.
[15:35] Kai
    I give the effects to my Vanguard.
[15:37] Nagisa
    Even with +10,000 power, it's too late.
[15:41] Nagisa
    After all, Koutei's remaining two units
    both have over 30,000 power.
[15:49] Emi
    This means Kai now has 5 damage.
[15:53] Kamui
    And Koutei still has
    two units that can attack.
[15:58] Aichi
    Yeah...
[15:59] Koutei&Daiyusha
    Cosmo Beak!
[16:02] Kai
    Embodiment of Spear, Tahr!
[16:05] Koutei
    Not bad, Toshiki Kai.
[16:07] Koutei
    In that case...
[16:08] Koutei&Daiyusha
    Go, Daidragon!
[16:11] Koutei
    A 40,000 power attack...
[16:13] Koutei
    With just one card in hand,
[16:15] Koutei
    you shouldn't be able to do anything about it.
[16:23] Aichi
    Kai's...
[16:24] Misaki
    No!
[16:25] Kai
    To me, Genjo!
[16:31] Koutei
    What?!
[16:32] Koutei
    His final card was a
    20,000-shield heal trigger?!
[16:39] Kai
    It looks like...
[16:41] Kai
    ...I've managed to guide the flow my way.
[16:49] Kai
    That said, I have zero cards in hand.
[16:52] Kai
    I have to deliver 2 damage
    to Koutei in the next turn...
[16:56] Kai
    ...with hardly any units.
[17:01] Emi
    He really is playing the bad guy.
[17:03] Kamui
    Not "playing," he is a bad guy!
[17:06] Kai
    Stand and draw!
[17:12] Aichi
    There it is! A unit that can attack!
[17:15] Kai
    I call!
[17:19] Kai
    Nehalem's skill activates!
[17:21] Kai
    Counterblast!
[17:23] Kai
    I retire Daibrave!
[17:29] Kai
    Nehalem gets +5000 power.
[17:33] Kai
    By retiring my opponent's rear-guard,
[17:36] Kai
    Bellicosity also gets +5000 power.
[17:38] Kai
    On top of that, Overlord's skill activates.
[17:41] Kai
    Soulblast.
[17:43] Kai
    +10,000 power!
[17:46] Miwa
    Overlord already has
    +10,000 power from a gift.
[17:51] Miwa
    That makes 33,000 power!
[17:54] Nagisa
    Bro!
[17:55] Gouki
    It's Koutei, he'll pull through!
[17:57] Kai
    Onward!
[18:00] Units
    At your will!
[18:05] Koutei&Daiyusha
    Shields up! Daibattles, Daitiger!
[18:12] Kai
    Drive check!
[18:14] Aichi
    Koutei's total shield is 38,000.
[18:18] Aichi
    If he draws even one trigger,
    the attack will go through!
[18:21] Kai
    First check!
[18:23] Kai
    No trigger.
[18:24] Kai
    Second check!
[18:29] Aichi
    There it is!
[18:30] Koutei
    A critical trigger?!
[18:32] Kai
    I give all of the effects to my Vanguard.
[18:51] Koutei
    Great Daiyusha!
[19:03] Koutei
    Well, I lost.
[19:05] Shin
    The winner is Toshiki Kai of Team Q4!
SIGN    Sub Manager
[19:18] Extra1
    Team Q4 has taken the lead.
[19:20] Extra2
    That's totally unbelievable!
[19:22] Miwa
    Yay, Kai! You did it!
[19:25] Morikawa
    Great fight, Koutei!
[19:30] Kamui
    Yeah!
[19:32] Emi
    Great!
[19:32] Aichi
    Kai!
[19:36] Koutei
    All right! One more fight.
[19:44] Gouki
    Did you forget, Koutei?!
[19:47] Gouki
    This is a battle between shops!
[19:49] Nagisa
    Yeah!
[19:52] Koutei
    Oh, that's right! Silly me!
[19:55] Misaki
    That makes us 2-1, right?
[19:57] Kai
    2-1...
[19:59] Kamui
    You forgot too, huh?!
[20:01] Aichi
    That just goes to show
    how into the fight they both were.
[20:08] Koutei
    Well done.
[20:10] Koutei
    By not letting any disadvantage hinder you,
[20:13] Koutei
    you yourself found the key to the future.
[20:15] Koutei
    Solitary Fighter, Toshiki Kai,
    let's have a rematch someday.
[20:19] Kai
    Be glad to.
[20:26] Koutei
    Well, see you!
[20:30] Gouki
    It ain't over yet!
[20:33] Nagisa
    Come back, Koutei!
[20:39] Aichi
    Congratulations, Kai.
[20:40] Miwa
    Of course you'd be the one to beat Koutei.
[20:45] Kai
    It could've gone either way.
[20:49] Kai
    What's wrong?
[20:50] Miwa
    Hearing you say something like that...
[20:53] Kai
    Yeah?
[20:55] Miwa
    It's just not like you.
[20:57] Miwa
    Right, Aichi?
[21:00] Aichi
    But it really did look like
    you were enjoying it, Kai.
[21:04] Miwa
    You could tell, Aichi?!
[21:06] Aichi
    You too, Miwa?
[21:08] Miwa
    Well, yeah...
[21:11] Shin
    The Battle Between the Shops,
    featuring Team NwO versus Team Q4, is now 2-1.
[21:16] Shin
    We've reached the final match.
[21:20] Aichi
    If I win, Team Q4 will be victorious.
[21:24] Leon
    I have one wish.
[21:28] Leon
    That the wind will blow.
[21:30] Aichi
    L-Let's have a good game.
[23:10] Kai
    Koutei.
[23:12] Kai
    You chose not to boost Daiyusha then.
[23:14] Kai
    Was it because you guessed I'd use no guard?
[23:17] Koutei
    Even without a boost,
    I would've had 2 critical with a trigger.
[23:20] Koutei
    And in regards to hand efficiency,
     "no guard" was logical for you.
[23:23] Kai
    That's true.
[23:24] Kai
    Boosted or not, if we assume a "no guard,"
[23:26] Kai
    you'd be better off using your cards
    to their greatest advantage.
[23:29] Kai
    So that's why you prioritized
     boosting the rear-guard.
[23:33] Koutei
    Triggers are luck of the draw.
SIGN    Image 10
     Wind of Aichi!!
[23:35] Koutei
    Still, that's...
[23:36] Misaki
    How long are they gonna keep this up?
