Oh, boy. What a mood...
You held on to that.
Kourin...
Why...?
I want you to stop trying to rescue me.
Stop trying to find me.
I just assumed that Aichi was looking for help from wherever he is.
But... is he actually trying to avoid us?
Darn it! Why, Aichi?!
Why are you rejecting us?!
I'm sure he's got some reason...
What reason?!
If I knew that, I wouldn't be rackin' my brains like this!
What the heck, junior?!
What the heck, senior?!
Cut it out, you two.
How long are we gonna mope around like this?!
I'm gonna go see Aichi!
Aichi might not wanna see me...
...but I...
But I wanna see him!
Me too!
I wanna ask Brother Aichi to his face why he doesn't wanna see us!
Kamui!
Ishida!
The only way we can meet Aichi is by gettin' stronger than the Quatre Knights!
So what we need right now is...
...intensive training!
Who's a strong guy that'd be willing to train us?
Ren Suzugamori wouldn't help...
Koutei went back to school...
It'll be difficult findin' someone as strong as the Quatre Knights.
What should we do?
Welcome.
The wind...
Leon Souryu!
Please, Leon Souryu!
Train us!
We wanna get strong!
It's to rescue Aichi!
Fine, Naoki Ishida.
You can come over...
...to my island.
Yes!
Leon Souryu has agreed to train us!
Leon is the best guy to train us, bar none!
Huh? Did Leon remember me?
Huh?
I'm not going.
Me neither.
What?!
Misaki! Kai! Why?!
Why won't you go to train?!
Don't you care about Aichi?!
That's not it.
They just mean they want time to sort their feelings out.
I agree with Ishida!
Nothin's gonna change if we just sit here.
We should train to get stronger!
Well, sure...
I mean, I think so, too...
Excuse me.
If the famous Leon Souryu has extended you an invitation, you should take it.
Indeed, you should go.
You can sort out your feelings anywhere, can't you?
Here, I got you tickets!
Your name is in here too, Manager.
Of course!
If you're doing a retreat, your leader's going with you.
What about the shop?
No worries. I'll get somebody to help.
Heh! Fine...
Anyway, right now, we gotta act!
Right?
Island Awaiting the Wind
So this is Leon Souryu's island...
Awesome!
It's like the prototypical island lost at sea.
Long time no see, Naoki Ishida.
Leon Souryu!
Just Leon is fine.
I appreciate you trainin' us!
Don't mention it.
Take whatever rooms you want.
As long as you're on this island, you're my guests.
Leave the meals to me.
To us!
I'm really grateful! I owe you for this.
Indeed. You should be grateful.
Leon...
You remember Aichi, don't you?
That's right. Just like Ren...
...you're sitting on the fence.
Calm.
Sometimes the wind stops blowing.
Man, we're up high!
It feels great! Let's start trainin'!
Yeah!
Huh?
Where're Kai and Misaki?
They said they didn't feel like it.
Sheesh. Then we'll start without them.
Yeah.
Leon, I'm countin' on you.
Fine.
All right, Jillian, please.
Okay.
How about you?
Uh... I'm good for now.
Roger!
Then I'll catch some seafood for dinner!
Looking forward to it!
Stand up, my Vanguard!
Stand up, Vanguard!
Attack!
I lost...
One more time!
Attack!
One more time!
Attack!
Once more...
No. After this, there would be no point.
What?!
You don't know how to use your own wind.
Until you understand that, we're just wasting time.
What are you talkin' about?!
Fights are the only way to get stronger!
I get stronger by figurin' stuff out while fighting!
Ain't that how it works?
You need to go to that islet.
Do so, and I'll fight you again.
Say what?!
I don't understand!
Go to that islet?
Gimme a break.
Leon may have agreed to host this retreat on a whim,
but I'm totally serious about it.
If he refuses to fight me unless I go there...
...then I'll do it! It'll be easy!
Warp speed warm-up!
Yeah!
Huh?
What is this?
The current is faster than it looks, so I can't move forward!
No matter how many times I try, I can't make any headway.
What should I do?
Ishida!
Good luck!
Sharlene...
Yay!
We're having a feast tonight!
Wow...
What a catch, what a catch...
I see. If I use somethin' like that to get there...
Leon never said I had to swim there!
It's like, you don't cross a bridge, but walk across it.
Maybe this'll do it...
Ishida!
I'll help you!
Kamui!
You too?
Yeah. Leon told me to go to that islet.
Let's get there just to see the look on his face!
Yeah!
Fight!
Full power!
Fight!
Full...
Fight!
...power!
Fight!
Power!
Fight!
Urgh!
This ain't workin'!
We're not movin'!
I ain't givin' in!
Yeah!
All right! This time we're definitely gettin' there!
I don't know about this...
Where there's a will, there's a way. You ain't got the will, it ain't gonna work.
Um...
They say, "Clear your mind of all fun thoughts, and you'll even be able to fly..."
That ain't quite right, but here I go!
Well?!
Didn't work. It's far. Too far!
How can we get to that islet?
Feelin's! If we're passionate about it, we can get there for sure!
Let's go, Kamui!
Y-Yeah...
Welcome.
Oh, it's just you two.
Put these on and help me.
Ren, you look handsome in an apron.
Do I?
It looks good on you too, Asaka.
Fight me, mister!
Teach me, mister!
Mister!
Hey, Mister!
"Mister"...
Mister, please!
Mister!
I feel like an old man...
We can't get there, no matter what we try.
What should we do?!
All this time, I've believed you could do anything if you had the passion.
But...
No, I ain't givin' up!
If I give up, it's over!
There's gotta be... There's gotta be a way!
She makes her way through it so easily, so why can't we?
Yeah...
Leon!
Around here, that fruit is only found on the islet.
It looks like you got there.
Let's fight.
Sure.
Stand up, my Vanguard!
Stand up, Vanguard!
Leon is using Aqua Force.
Ishida is using his usual Narukami.
Oh! A fight?
Savage wind!
Become a shock wave and awaken the blue dragon!
I ride...
...Blue Wave Dragon, Tetra-burst Dragon!
Here I come, Naoki Ishida!
Attack!
You told me to go to that little island, right?
This is my answer!
Scorching soul!
Smash everything with your steel fists!
Ride!
Brawler, Big Bang Knuckle Buster!
A new unit...
Knuckle Buster attacks!
Drive check!
Critical trigger!
I give the power to Skyhowl and the extra critical to Knuckle Buster.
Nice eyes.
I'll answer the sparkling of those eyes with all my might!
Whirling wind and surging wave!
Call forth a fierce storm and bring down blue judgment
upon the one who incurs your wrath!
Seek my mate!
I'll give the name of the blue storm to that noble water general!
Water General of Blue Storm, Starrus!
Legion!
This is Leon's Legion.
I'll tell you one thing. The wind will blow four times.
What?
Call!
The first time. Zaharius attacks Big Bang Knuckle!
The second time. Ianis attacks with a boost from Border!
I give the power to Knuckle Buster!
Border's skill!
Zaharius switches.
The third time. Zaharius attacks Skyhowl!
Prepare yourself.
The fourth time the wind blows... will be a storm!
Legendary blue dragon and brethren,
use your unlimited storm roar to smash!
Tear to shreds! Burst and scatter!
Legion attack!
Legion skill!
With the fourth or greater battle, it gets power and an extra critical!
And then Counterblast!
Draw!
I retire your Wildclock!
The total is 28000 with a 2 critical.
If the attack goes through, Leon wins!
Ishida...
Blue Storm Burst!
A burning soul doesn't let any attacks through!
Toshu!
Quintet Wall!
35000 shield?!
Drive trigger check.
Turn end.
He got through it!
Waves come from this way and that way,
and their size ain't set.
To get to that islet,
just pushing our way through the waves head on didn't work.
We predicted the waves, took a roundabout path, drifted back...
That's how we got to the little island.
And that's when it hit us.
You can't just trust everything to your feelings and act recklessly.
It's also necessary to adapt to the circumstances an' try various things.
Ishida's deck here is a new one that the two of us came up with.
I'll show you that I'm not the same guy I was before!
Call!
I'm gonna pack my fist with these two souls!
Fill me up and tremble!
Make him surrender!
Seek mate!
King of striking who cuts through the air at a high speed!
Brawler, Big Bang Slash Buster!
Legion!
This is the Legion of the new me!
With Legion's skill, it gets +5000 power.
And I also get to attack four of my opponent's units.
Skyhowl!
Get excited, my soul!
Burst open with your friend's feeling!
Legion attack!
Your wind may blow four times,
but my fist is gonna knock out four units at once!
Great Gattling Punch!
Go!
So close...
If only he'd drawn a critical trigger, he would've won.
By retiring your rear-guard, you don't have much chance of doing a fourth attack.
That's not the Ishida I know.
Before, he always let his feelings get the best of him.
But now he's looking ahead.
Turn end.
Now it's 5 to 4.
If he can withstand these next attacks, Ishida has a chance to win.
Unfortunately, this is the final wind.
What?!
Call!
The wind turns into a storm four times.
The first time!
The second time!
Tidal stands after it attacks!
And the fourth time.
Again, the roar of the storm!
Blue Storm Burst!
Not yet!
Damage trigger...
...check!
I lost again?!
Certainly, you lose often.
What's that?!
But therein lies your strength, as well.
Your virtue is not letting your feelings break.
Even if you lose and lose again, you always rise.
However, it takes more than feelings.
This time, you learned how to take advantage of your virtue.
I definitely ain't gonna forget it, Leon!
I'm gonna keep getting up again like Ishida, too,
and beat the Quatre Knights!
Yeah!
Let's do it, Kamui!
But before that, let's eat!
Okay! We're having an imperial fish feast tonight!
You lose a lot...
Yeah...
Wait, why do I gotta hear that from you, Kamui?!
Oh, no, I was also thinking that's where your strength is!
Hmph.
Blaster Blade... Is your thinking different than Aichi's?
Next time: Kai's Will.
Kai's Will
Kai sure seems troubled.
Yeah. Unlike you, he's not a simple guy.
Yeah...
You wanna run that by me again?!
Ow ow ow!
