Misaki Tokura! Your decision before is going to be for naught.
With this card...
I call Explosion Scientist, Bunta!
I activate Explosion Scientist's skill!
Counterblast!
I increase 1 damage!
Limit Break!
What the?! Lee has increased his own damage!
This way, he's up to 4 damage and can use a Limit Break!
You attacked my rear-guard to prevent a Limit Break, huh?
That sure was the idea of a mediocre fighter...
Apparently, Japan isn't as advanced as I thought it was.
Not if someone of your level could win the national tournament...
Unless you were blessed with great teammates?
I'll just take those words as a compliment to my friends.
Friends? I see. No wonder you're fighting so gutlessly.
It seems you don't know this, so I'll fill you in.
Your teammates aren't your friends.
They're enemies!
Enemies?!
That's right. No matter who the other person is, as long as you're cardfighting,
you should do everything in your power to crush them!
Even if they're teammates!
I'm not gonna lose! I can't afford to lose!
That's the game!
This term's school champion is Christopher Lo again!
You did it, Chris!
Congratulations on being the champion three terms in a row!
It was a good fight, Lee!
Lee...
Why?! Why can't I beat him?!
Don't get so frustrated about it.
Ali...
You lost, but just by a little, right?
A loss is a loss!
As always, it's all-or-nothing with you, huh?
I know!
To blow off some steam, how about going with me to the card shop that just opened?
There's a girl that works there and she's kind of... I mean, really cute!
How can you laugh?
You came third in today's tournament.
You lost in the semifinal match!
So how can you laugh?!
Well, for me, third place is great!
Plus I was chosen to be on the team for the VF Circuit.
It's normal to be happy about it!
Anyway, that aside...
If you wanna go, go by yourself!
I don't wanna be your buddy.
You're cold, you know that?
Well, we're on the same team now.
So we'll be seeing a lot more of each other.
Pride of the Elite
The Lees are one of the leading families in all of Singapore.
Since I was born as an heir, I'll eventually have to lead this country...
...then Asia...
...and finally the entire world!
For that purpose, I have to seek perfection in everything.
Of course, that includes Vanguard!
I can't afford to lose to anyone!
Armed Instructor, Bison's Counterblast!
+4000 is added to the power of Pencil Squire, Hammsuke!
Silver Wolf boosts!
I attack with Acorn Master!
I guard with Dream Eater!
Thumbtack Fighter boosts!
I attack with Bison!
No guard!
Twin drive...
I attack with Explosion Scientist, boosted by Pencil Squire!
No guard!
Because of Bison's skill, Pencil Squire was powered up, and now it has to exit the field.
And at the same time, Counterblast.
I take a Pencil Squire from my deck and put it in my hand.
Another Pencil Squire?!
Bust out of the limiting cage and gallop across the land!
Armed Instructor, Bison's Limit Break!
I turn over two cards that are in the Damage Zone!
What?!
He's cancelling the costs from this turn?!
It's not only Bison...
The effect of Explosion Scientist isn't over yet...
Explosion Scientist's skill isn't just putting cards in the Damage Zone.
During the beginning of the end phase,
I can take one card from the Damage Zone and return it to my deck.
In other words, I have 3 damage.
It's your turn. What are you gonna do?
Seriously?!
That's downright dirty.
The tension's rising with this fight,
but right now, let's turn our eyes to another field!
Ah! Kamui the Great is on!
KGO, yo!
5 damage, huh?
Looks like he's having a hard time of it, too...
He should try to win it this turn, but his opponent has a lot of cards in his hand...
It's over already...
What was that?!
IN! It's not, yo!
Yes, it is.
Look at that, he's facing an overwhelming disadvantage.
Well, LU is LU, right?
Lose-umi...
I'm KM! Katsumi Morikawa!
Listen! No matter how severe the situation, never give up!
That's KK! The strongest fighter, Kamui Katsuragi, yo!
Not recognizing a loss is just being stubborn.
YU...!
Why, you...!
Loser!
A guy tries to be nice, and you punks are rude in return!
Punks? Morikawa...
Who's being nice?!
You're the one who's rude, yo!
Shut up!
Okay...
Me too? Sorry.
My bad...
MB, yo...
For Pete's sake...
Miss Emi got that serious...
She's really rooting for Kamui the Great, huh?
IM... I'm moved...
Good grief... How can I watch out for Aichi with them squabbling...?
Tough Boy boosts!
I attack Binoculars Tiger with Black Tortoise!
I do a popular guard with Ruler Chameleon!
White Tiger boosts!
I attack Guardian of Truth, Lox with Azure Dragon!
I have perfect defense with Cable Sheep!
Drive check!
Yes! I got a trigger!
Tortoise stands and gets +5000 power!
I made him use three of the cards in his hand with this.
He shoudn't be able to use any more cards to guard the next attack.
And now...
Go, Moai! Attack Binoculars Tiger!
I attack with Tortoise!
I activate Tortoise's skill.
1-2-3-4-5 cards...
I add Azure Dragon to my hand, and that's the end of my turn.
So you scaled back my rear-guard, huh?
Not too shabby...
But in the end, it's just a wasted effort.
Your goddess is mine.
That's the law of nature! The law of wild power!
Again, what do wildflowers have to do with it?!
Picture it! Your goddess fawning upon me!
Stop it!!
What did he imagine?
Little brat...
Kamui the Great, get a hold of yourself...
GHO, yo...
He's got six cards in his hand, and one of them is a grade 3 Azure Dragon.
He can't use it to guard...
And say three cards have 5000 shields, while one has 1000...
Even if the last card has a 10000 shield...
I've got this in the bag.
The completion of my popular kingdom is right in front of me!
I call Magnet Crocodile, Bringer of Knowledge,
Triangle Cobra, and Pencil Knight, Hammsuke!
And then Guardian of Truth's Persona Blast!
I add +4000 to Pencil Knight's handsome aura and an extra critical to his whooshability!
Bringer of Knowledge's boost!
I attack with Crocodile!
With his skill, the total of his popularity power is 19000!
I'm gonna protect Miss Emi!
I guard with Fighting Battleship, Prometheus!
In that case, Cobra boosts.
I attack with Guardian of Truth!
I guard with Battleraizer and Almighty Reporter!
What?! Twin drive...
Critical trigger!
I give all the effects to Pencil Knight!
How's that?!
Pencil Squire boosts!
I do a popularity attack with Pencil Knight!
I guard with Death Army Guy and Shout!
Then I intercept with Tortoise!
Seriously?!
Good job, little brat.
Kamui the Great stands and draws!
I call Shout and Azure Dragon!
With a boost from Tough Boy, my rear-guard Azure Dragon attacks!
No guard!
With a boost from White Tiger, Azure Dragon attacks!
I guard with Triangle Cobra!
As long as he doesn't draw a trigger, with this popularity power, the goddess will be mine!
Twin drive...
First check.
Second check.
I got a stand trigger!
No...
Tough Boy stands...
I give +5000 power to my Vanguard!
Go, Azure Dragon!
Make the land quiver with your red terror!
M-My popularity kingdom...
No stand trigger...
And that's the game!
Kamui Katsuragi of Team Q4 has scored an impressive victory!
When all's said and done, my goddess is my goddess!
Miss Emi! I did...
What are you doing?!
Whoops... Sorry, Sub-manager.
Soory 'bout that.
Nice one, Manager.
That was an impressive fight, wasn't it?
S-o exciting!
Good job!
V!
But Brother and Misaki aren't done yet?
Nope. You're the first to arrive, Kamui.
I see...
Both of you, do your best!
Stand and draw.
Now that I've got 4 damage, I'll attack him with everything I've got!
Amaterasu's Soulcharge!
I check the top card of my deck.
I put this card back on top of my deck...
I call Evil-eye Princess, Euryale!
Bind!
I attack Explosion Scientist with Euryale!
With a boost from Goddess of the Crescent Moon, Amaterasu attacks!
No guard!
Twin drive, first check.
Critical trigger, I presume? You haven't exceeded my expectations.
I give the power to my rear-guard Amaterasu
and the extra critical to my Vanguard Amaterasu.
Second check.
I have four cards in my hand, so she gets +4000 power!
That makes 5 damage...
Dark Cat boosts!
I attack with Amaterasu!
I guard with Cobra and Fortune-bringing Cat!
With all these cards in my hand, I might be able to guard...
But...
...I've got a total of 30000 shield.
I'm still at 4 damage. In that case...
Are you thinking you can protect yourself?
That's a pretty optimistic outlook.
I call Explosion Scientist, and Acorn Master exits the field.
On top of that, I call Pencil Hero and Pencil Squire!
Armed Instructor, Bison's Counterblast!
I add +4000 to Silver Wolf's power!
One more Counterblast!
I add +4000 to Pencil Hero's power!
Two Counterblasts in one turn?!
Then both sides of the rear-guard will come at her with 20000!
Here I go!
I attack with Bison, boosted by Thumbtack Fighter!
All I can do is hope that he doesn't draw a trigger!
No guard!
Drive trigger, first check.
Second check.
I give the extra critical to Bison.
I give the power to Explosion Scientist.
The winner is... Team SIT Genius's Lee Shenlon!
Sounds like it's over.
Yep.
Misaki...
I'm sorry...
Did you win?
Of course.
Good. That's one win and one loss.
You... lost?
Yeah. I guess the path of the popular guy is more rugged than I'd imagined.
So that leaves Chris, huh?
There's no need to worry about him.
Huh. That's not like you. You believe in Chris!
Don't be stupid.
I'm gonna be the one to beat him.
Until then, I don't want him to lose.
That's all it is.
Ah, really?
Again, I didn't win...
What should I do?
It's okay!
I'm sure Brother will win!
So let's have faith in him and wait patiently!
Yeah...
Now we just have the fight between Aichi Sendou and Christopher Lo left!
Which team will win this fierce struggle and go on to the next stage?!
It's s-o exciting!
So, who will win...
Stand and draw!
Aichi Sendou...
Answer my voice...
That voice!
Aichi Sendou!
Who is that?! Who's calling me?!
Chris, too...?
What is this?!
Where are we?!
What? What's happening?
Welcome, Vanguards.
Who are you?!
My name is Takuto Tatsunagi.
I'm the sponsor of the VF Circuit.
I know that.
But what is all this?
We were fighting...
When did we get here?
This is the planet Cray.
The power of Psyqualia led you two here.
Psyqualia...?
Now, I'm going to awaken it...
The power that's sleeping within you...
...so you can become a Vanguard that leads the world!
Three attacks...?
That's the image of victory created by the power within you.
Image of victory?
Right now, that's all I can tell you.
If you want to know everything, you'll have to win this Circuit.
What is this...?
At the moment, we're having technical difficulties.
For the time being, please stand by!
So it's begun...
Please stand by.
Let go of me! All you have to do is whack it to get it working again!
Don't even think about it!
You'd make the manager cry!
Hey!
Aichi...
Let's be adults about this!
I apologize for the interruption!
The equipment has been repaired, so let's rejoin the broadcast!
Oh, it looks like there was some trouble on the field, too,
as the fight hasn't progressed.
This is the most important match so far, and luckily, we didn't miss any of it.
It's s-o exciting!
I can see it... I can see it!
Chris...?
Leo-pald's blades flash three times...
That's the image of victory...
That's the power of Psyqualia!
Aichi Sendou, I'm going to declare it...
I'm going to use this power to beat you!
Miss Emi was almost stolen from me!
Kamui, what happened during the fight?
Well, it goes to show that my love for Miss Emi was stronger!
Wait, everyone around the world was watching...
I think I said some incredibly embarrassing things!
Kamui, keep doing your best.
Next time: Genius's Descent!
What? This image I'm getting from my opponent...
Could it be... Psyqualia?!
