00:00The time is upon us. Do you possess the resolve to face their trials?
00:10Booster Set 5. Omen Eternal.
00:18Vanguard. A card game that's been loved by people since ancient times.
00:24There are as many encounters between cards and humans as there are stars in the sky.
00:29And there have been as many prayers as there are stars in the sky.
00:33The powerful emotions that connect the players through the cards have the power to change the laws of this world.
00:44Six cards guided by fate. Six destinies intertwine.
00:50Through their earnest wishes, six people have been chosen as the Fated Ones.
00:55One seeks a miracle. One dreams of becoming unparalleled.
00:58One reaches out toward the taboo. One walks an ever-changing path.
01:03One has to be a guiding star. And one searches for the truth within Zero.
01:08The Fated One answer to those who seek the truth more than anyone else.
01:13In this world of chance encounters, who will make the most of that power?
01:18Who will be the first to obtain the card that will change their fate?
01:25World Fight Vanguard!
01:27The Fated Ones, who have taken on a new form, have now made their way to the 63rd floor.
01:32You're going to fight? I knew it.
01:34Title Booster Fated Ones Online 2023 Bushiroad
01:40The cosmos needs new gods.
01:43Do you have what it takes to answer the call?
01:47Forge your own legend.
01:49Booster Set 4 Cosmic Mythos
01:52Pay attention to this battle!
02:22And the winner of the second to last tournament, the champion is Raika Koshiba!
02:29Once again, I couldn't clinch it.
02:32Thanks for a great match.
02:34It really was a wonderful fight.
02:39Yeah. Thanks.
02:47That's going to be one of the best fights ever!
02:50Don't cry or eat. Make up your mind.
02:53This stew is so good.
02:55I could have made something fancier.
02:57We're celebrating the fact you've been healthy for a whole year.
03:00I've told you before. I don't want you making a big deal out of this.
03:03It's not like it's a special anniversary or anything.
03:06And anyway, I really like your stew, okay?
03:10Well, if that's how you feel, then fine.
03:21I'm sorry.
03:44Where am I? That's weird.
03:46I mean...
03:48What the...
03:50What is that? What's going on?
04:01What is that?
04:08Are you okay, big bro?
04:10I'm fine. Sorry to wake you.
04:13Hmm...
04:15You know, I had this really weird dream last night.
04:18Oh, yeah? Was it one of those puberty-related dreams?
04:21Don't be so gross.
04:23Show some respect to your brother.
04:25I had a really cool dream last night, too, but I can't remember it.
04:28Don't you just hate it when that happens? So annoying.
04:31Uh, can I get back to telling you about my dream?
04:34Sure. Go on.
04:36There was this city, sort of floating in the sky.
04:40Somewhere I'd never seen before.
04:43Then something flew overhead.
04:45But I wasn't scared. It felt peaceful.
04:48Comforting.
04:50Sounds great. But it's all so vague.
04:52You got any idea what it means?
04:54None at all.
05:00The deluxe match yesterday was awesome!
05:03I totally thought Taizo Kiyokura was gonna win.
05:06It was so close!
05:08Can you believe the winner was a high school student just like us?
05:11Like last time! He's so cool!
05:13Hey, Akina! Cafeteria?
05:16Nah, I brought a packed lunch today.
05:18What, are you eating leftovers again?
05:20No, just rice balls.
05:24So how's Hikari been lately?
05:26Great. She's actually doing really well.
05:29And she can't wait to go on her class trip next week.
05:32Ah, good. I'm glad to hear it.
05:35Whoa!
05:38It's Mikoto!
05:40Who?
05:41You don't know? She's a star!
05:43But she recently announced she wants to focus on her studies.
05:46That's why she's here!
05:47Oh man, she is so cute!
05:50See you later, Mikoto.
05:52Sure. See you.
05:54She's definitely cute.
06:02Excuse me. Are you alright?
06:06I'm fine, thanks.
06:08Sorry, gotta go!
06:11Her klutziness makes her even more adorable.
06:17Alright, I'm gonna go buy some lunch.
06:19Okay. I'll find a spot to eat.
06:22You loser! You think you're funny?
06:26We don't want you up here. Get it?
06:28This is where we hang out.
06:31Are you even listening to me?
06:33Get out of here!
06:35No thanks.
06:38You!
06:44What's up with this guy?
06:47Hey, what's the hold up?
06:49Now?
06:50I'm sorry, sir.
06:52Please accept these rice balls as a peace offering and forgive him.
06:56Oh, and by the way, Hiromichi was asking for you in the cafeteria.
07:01I think you should go right away.
07:04Whatever. You better teach this friend of yours some manners, Akina.
07:16You gotta stop doing that, Suou.
07:19I think I better warn Hiromichi that he's about to get a visitor.
07:23Give him a heads up.
07:26My rice balls are gone! Now I have no lunch!
07:30Give them to him.
07:31This is all your fault! As your classmate, I'm gonna give it to you straight.
07:34You gotta learn to read the room and pick up on social signals.
07:37No need.
07:38There is totally a need!
07:45Any chance of a bite?
07:47No.
07:48You're something else.
07:56Sorry to keep you waiting.
07:58Want a melon bun?
07:59You... You're a lifesaver!
08:03Thank you!
08:04Maybe you get a kick out of meddling in other people's business.
08:07But you're the only one who still bothers to help Suou Yobitsugu out.
08:12I can't just turn my back on him. Don't know why.
08:16Nah, you're like that with everybody.
08:18I am?
08:19You really don't have a clue.
08:21Oh, hey!
08:22You free after school? Some karaoke?
08:24Sorry. I gotta work.
08:26Okay, fine.
08:30Maybe I shouldn't have paid the card cost like that in my third turn.
08:34I should have changed my tactics as soon as I realized my damage calculations were off.
08:39It was probably smart to guard.
08:41Um... Missed now? The usual?
08:44Yeah. Sorry. I was just reviewing the match I lost in the last tournament.
08:49I'm always super impressed. The way you remember every move.
08:54Well, my goal is to become a pro fighter.
08:57And we've got loads of time on our hands.
08:59It's pretty dead in here today, Aki.
09:02So my nickname this week is Aki, is it?
09:05Yeah, why? What did I call you last week?
09:07It was Kinako.
09:08Kinako. Kinako!
09:11I think I like the one from last week better.
09:14This is the fourth day in a row that you've worked.
09:17Don't you have a tournament coming up soon?
09:19Real soon!
09:20It's bad! If I don't do well, I might have to give up my dream of going pro!
09:24What? Then you're in real trouble!
09:26I sure am! Miss Nao's bank account's in trouble, and her grades at school are in trouble!
09:31I'm a real troublemaker!
09:35Alrighty, time to get to work.
09:37Hi there! Welcome!
09:39Thanks for coming to Cook Million!
09:41Way to switch gears.
09:50Huh?
10:01Oh, sorry about that.
10:02No problem. I caught it in the nickel of time.
10:07Thanks for picking it up.
10:10It's too easy to ask for a miracle, isn't it?
10:13All you have to do is put your hands together and pray.
10:17I think it's better for humans to struggle in the muck.
10:23Sunglasses at night?
10:26I gotta stop coming here after dark.
10:35I'm home!
10:40I'm so hungry.
10:43Oh! The stew from last night!
10:47Ow!
10:54This is bad.
11:06Hikari!
11:08Big bro!
11:10You're awake!
11:11Is Dad here yet?
11:13No, not yet.
11:14Okay. So you were the one that called the ambulance?
11:18Yeah. I'll get the nurse for you.
11:21I've really screwed things up.
11:23And I was so looking forward to that class trip.
11:26The nurse might let you go.
11:27No, there's no way.
11:31Well, it is what it is. Can't do anything about it.
11:34That's not true!
11:35Miss Miyoto, how are you feeling now?
11:38A lot better. Thanks.
11:42Nothing I said comforted her.
11:48Hikari's always been a sickly child.
11:50Ever since she was little.
11:52In and out of hospitals her whole life.
11:54Big brother, where's Dad?
11:57Our parents were divorced.
11:59And my father was a police officer.
12:01So he was always busy with work.
12:03Daddy's a hero who fights for justice.
12:05I bet he's out there arresting the bad guys.
12:12I never seemed to be able to help.
12:24If only there was something I could do for her.
12:37Wait. This is...
12:40I dreamt of this.
12:49It's you!
12:50Who or what are you?
13:11A card?
13:13Where did this come from?
13:16What the...
13:17Where am I?
13:20The card of a fated one.
13:25Akina Miyoto.
13:26You have been chosen.
13:28Chosen for a battle that will change your destiny.
13:30And its name is...
13:34A monster!
13:40Oops.
14:10Best Secret Rare, Bushiroad
14:13Vice Schwartz.
14:15The high school story of how to raise a boring girlfriend.

14:22Saikano the Movie Finale Booster Pack.
14:25Now on sale.
14:27Bushiroad.
14:28Cardfight! Vanguard.
14:30A man with a sharp sword has appeared.
14:32With a 63% chance of winning.
14:35He's on the move.
14:37I knew it.
14:38Title Booster.
14:39Touken Ranbu Online 2023 Bushiroad
15:08A plushie?
15:09That's right.
15:10A hippo plushie?
15:11I'm a dragon, you doofus!
15:13Wait. Since when have plushies been able to talk?
15:16No, forget that.
15:17Since when do plushies float around in the air?
15:19I told you to calm down!
15:21I may look like a plushie, but this is not my true form.
15:24My name is Gabwellius.
15:26My spirit has merely possessed this plushie.
15:29Gab what?
15:30A spirit?
15:31You're saying you're a ghost.
15:33Listen carefully.
15:34I have come to tell you something important.
15:36You have been given a chance to challenge fate.
15:40Six Chosen Ones who hold the Fated One cards in their hands
15:44will battle each other.
15:45The outcome of those Vanguard Cardfights will determine the winner.
15:49And the name of this battle is the Fated Clash.
15:53Only one contender will gain the ability to change their fate
15:57and have their wish granted by winning all their battles.
16:01The card you have in your hand is the Fated One of Miracles.
16:04As the owner of that card, you have the right to participate in the Fated Clash.
16:09Okay.
16:10So if I'm the last one standing in this Fated Clash or whatever,
16:13you're telling me my wishes will come true?
16:16Not exactly.
16:17It's not just any wish that will be granted.
16:19But it was your wish that drew the Fated One of Miracles to you.
16:23Which means there was something about your wish that made him want to respond.
16:28Like what?
16:29The Fated One of Miracles rules over the power of healing.
16:32Healing?
16:33That's ridiculous. It doesn't make any sense.
16:35A card can't grant a wish.
16:37You can see a plush toy floating in the air, hear it talking, yet you can't believe?
16:42Well, yeah, but...
16:43Besides, I believe you've already met.
16:46Huh?
16:51You have something in mind, don't you?
16:53A fate that you desperately wish to change.
16:57I, uh...
16:59I will return once again to hear your answer.
17:02But be sure of this!
17:03The Fated Clash will be commencing soon!
17:18A fate that I want changed.
17:26Here's that thing you asked for yesterday.
17:28Thanks, Akina!
17:29Now I've got so much time to kill,
17:31I'm gonna modify my deck!
17:33You really love Vanguard, huh?
17:35Mm-hmm.
17:36You should try playing it sometime, big bro.
17:39Maybe.
17:42How are you feeling today?
17:44Oh, I'm totally fine.
17:46But they want to keep me here a bit longer for observation.
17:51Hey, you're supposed to be cheering me up, not the other way around!
17:54Right, sorry.
17:55And don't apologize either!
17:57I'm not some tragic figure looking for a pity party, you know!
18:00I am totally enjoying my life to the max!
18:03Come with a gloomy face again, I'll punch your lights out!
18:06I wouldn't want that.
18:08I'll be more careful.
18:10We're on the same page.
18:12Hikari, you're so strong.
18:14Huh? What's that?
18:16Uh, nothing.
18:17My shift's starting soon, so I should go.
18:19Okay, take care.
18:25I don't recall who told me,
18:27but there's a saying I remember from when I was little
18:30that stayed with me all this time.
18:32Only those who reach for the faintest ray of hope
18:36will be granted a miracle.
18:38If I want to make my wish come true,
18:41if I want to change fate,
18:43then I must...
18:48Miss Nao!
18:49I need your help!
18:50Huh?
18:52What's this all about?
18:53I want you to teach me everything you know about Vanguard.
18:56Hmm?
18:57There's a big card fight coming up that I just have to win.
19:00But in order to do that, I need to be way more familiar with Vanguard.
19:05I want to be strong. The strongest!
19:09So... you mean... stronger than me?
19:13Well, I, uh...
19:15I'm just kidding you!
19:17Sounds like there's more to this story.
19:20Yeah.
19:21Now that I think about it,
19:23I was the one who taught you how to make hamburger patties, wasn't I?
19:26Huh? Yeah.
19:28And to make a parfait.
19:30And hot stone pot bibimbap.
19:33Can't be helped, as we're short-staffed.
19:35Uh, Miss Nao?
19:37All right, then!
19:39Seeing as I'm already your mentor, I'll help you out.
19:43Thank you, Miss Nao!
19:45First of all, you'll need a deck.
19:47You don't have one yet, do you?
19:49That's right. I don't.
19:51Hmph! In that case...
19:55Megzy! Hello!
19:57Oh, Miss Nao! Welcome!
19:59Hi there!
20:01Is it okay if we use the back room for a card fight?
20:03Oh, and I'm gonna need to borrow a teaching deck.
20:06Sure thing! Which nation would you like to choose?
20:09Huh? Nation?
20:12The world of Vanguard has six nations,
20:14and you use cards that belong to those nations when you fight.
20:18There's a nation where dragons fly through the air, Dragon Empire.
20:22Then there's the magical nation wrapped in eternal darkness, Dark States.
20:26Third is the utopian country surrounded by sea, sky, and forest, Stoicheia.
20:31Fourth is the academic city on the back of a giant whale, Lyrical Monasterio.
20:35Fifth is Bront Gate, which specializes in advanced science and technology.
20:39And finally, there's the holy capital city that floats in the sky, Keter Sanctuary.
20:45Huh? What's wrong?
20:48Keter Sanctuary...
20:51So that's the one that caught your attention!
20:54Yeah, that's the one!
20:57I choose this one! Keter Sanctuary!
21:02And here you go!
21:04Thanks for your help! You've been great!
21:06Megzy's the best!
21:07She comes from a wealthy family,
21:09but she works here so she can have her own money to spend however she likes!
21:13On cards! I'm a big fan!
21:15Oh! Okay, well, I have to get back to the store.
21:17But if you need anything, don't hesitate to call!
21:22All right, time we got started.
21:24Thanks again for this.
21:25First, we set up for the fight.
21:27You need to prepare a deck and a ride deck.
21:31You take a card that's a grade zero unit from your ride deck
21:34and place it face down in the center.
21:37Now you need to imagine.
21:39Imagine?
21:40Yes, imagine this.
21:42For the first stage of our fight,
21:44we descend onto Planet Cray, a planet which is similar to Earth.
21:48It's a far distant planet.
21:50It's where all the units featured in Vanguard live their lives.
21:55All the units live on Planet Cray?
21:57Mm-hmm.
21:58When we arrive on Cray, we're mere phantoms in our delicate spirit forms.
22:04But because we're spirit forms,
22:06we can take possession of or ride the units of Cray.
22:09And once we've done that, we go into battle.
22:13And when we ride, we're called Vanguards.
22:17We ride?
22:18So it's like our souls are being united with someone from a far distant planet?
22:23Oh, so poetic!
22:25I think Vanguard will suit you, Aki.
22:27You think so?
22:28Yeah!
22:29Yeah!
22:30After all, visualizing yourself in battle is what Vanguard's all about!
22:34Amazing!
22:35Now I'm starting to get really excited!
22:37I know, right?
22:38Okay, last thing to do before you start is draw five cards from your deck.
22:42Each card has skills,
22:43and normally, mastering them as you fight is the most fun part of Vanguard.
22:47However, because I'm teaching you the basics,
22:50we'll play without using skills for now.
22:52Okay.
22:53I'm going to go first.
22:55It's easier to show you the rules that way.
22:58To start the fight, we both call out,
23:00Stand up, Vanguard!
23:02Together, and turn our cards face up.
23:04From that moment, our spirits take possession of the units,
23:07and we become Vanguards.
23:09Are you ready?
23:11I can't wait!
23:12Watch out for the newcomer.
23:13You're very confident.
23:15All right, here we go.
23:17Okay.
23:18Stand up, Vanguard!
23:28Stand up, Vanguard!
23:36I'm going to change it.
23:38Whatever it takes.
23:40Change our fate.
23:58Stand up, Vanguard!
24:01Stand up, Vanguard!
24:04Stand up, Vanguard!
24:07Stand up, Vanguard!
24:10Stand up, Vanguard!
24:13Stand up, Vanguard!
24:16Stand up, Vanguard!
24:19Stand up, Vanguard!
24:22Stand up, Vanguard!
24:25Stand up, Vanguard!

25:46Welcome to Cook Million.
25:49Although I said welcome, it's not like I own the place, or even work here.
25:54I have used my secret arts to borrow this location on a temporary basis.
25:58Now, if you haven't already guessed what I'm going to do using this space, I'll tell you.
26:03I'm going to introduce to you some cards!
26:06And so, from the next episode onwards, I will summon a suitable companion,
26:10and together, we'll introduce you to the cards! See you later!
