To keep my promise with Kai...
To live up to his expectations...
Forward... I have to move forward.
Wake up, Aichi!
Aichi, you're the only one who hasn't had breakfast!
I can't clean up unless everyone has eaten!
Aichi, are you listening to me?!
Huh?
Aichi... where are you?
What should I do?
Which units...
...should I choose?
I'm not getting an image of how my deck should be constructed.
Even though I have to win at the VF Circuit...
Each One's Summer Vacation
Kai...
Kai, I'm talking to you!
Kai, let's play beach volleyball.
Ask somebody else.
Don't be like that...
Whining won't get you anywhere.
Just for a little while!
Pass.
What's with that attitude?
Don't worry about it, Asaka.
That's just how Kai is.
It doesn't have to be beach volleyball.
We could play sepak takraw instead!
He's as unsociable as always.
That's how they are, but Ren and Kai won that last stage together.
After all, you saw it too, didn't you?
This is the power of Psyqualia!
Spectral Duke Dragon! Attack Ezel!
That power, Psyqualia...
Huh? Come to think of it...
Both winning teams of the first two stages had a member who used Psyqualia...
But I didn't use it.
I don't really understand it,
but my instinct says it would be dangerous if used the wrong way.
Psyqualia...
Does it weigh on your mind?
R-Ren?! How long have you been...
Sounds like you're interested in Psyqualia.
Well...
The thing about Psyqualia is that if you try it, an interesting thing happens.
Interesting?
You can hear the voices of the cards, of all things.
The voices of the cards?!
That's interesting, isn't it?
Y-Yeah...
But even if you use Psyqualia, there's no guarantee that you'll win.
As proof of that, I often lose against Kai.
You lose to Kai...?
Even using Psyqualia...
Are you still scared of Psyqualia?
Leaving that aside...
Would you like to play beach volleyball with us?
I was wondering why you suddenly called me out here...
...but this is the reason!
You couldn't bear watching Aichi and the others do intensive training, am I right?
Miwa... You start.
Okay, okay...
Prepare yourself, Tetsu Shinjou!
This is my revenge for the test of courage!
I attack Beast Deity, Azure Dragon with Dark Lord of Abyss.
Shoot, I lost again!
Why?! Even though I'm getting stronger...
I can see you're putting in a lot of effort.
But that's all.
I'm sure you won't win in the next stage, either.
Ren Suzugamori...
You can just call me Ren, Misa-ki!
Misaki!
Let's play beach volleyball!
No, thank you.
You refuse?
I refuse.
This is a pickle, huh, Ren?
All you need is two people!
I want a third person.
It's a lot more fun with more than two people.
Ask somebody else.
You're afraid of losing to me, aren't you?
You hate losing, so you're using training as an excuse.
Those weak knees are probably why you can't win at the stage.
And so...
...why not give it a try?
Fine. I'll keep you company.
There you go!
Thank you, Misa-ki!
Misaki!
This is the first time I've seen Kamui the Great that depressed.
I'm sure you won't win in the next stage, either.
I hate a weak Kamui!
Do I really have no chance against Tetsu?
It's not like you to be depressed, Kamui the Great!
NY, yo!
Leave me alone. You guys don't understand.
We of all people understand!
We've been with you all this time!
You guys...
Kamui the Great, let's train!
We'll do it with you!
I'm positive that you can beat him, Kamui the Great! YCB, yo!
We believe in you, Kamui the Great!
Reiji... Eiji...
Asaka!
Misa-ki!
Misaki!
Let's stop here. I'm tired.
Are you satisfied now?
Yes.
Then I'll be going.
Next up is a Cardfight.
Let's have a Cardfight.
You can't refuse that, can you?
Fine. I'll do it.
Okay. Are you ready?
Yes!
First, ride!
Ride!
Get set... Go!
I... I can do this...
Kamui the Great...!
One more time!
Right.
You guys don't have to do this...
No, please let us!
We want to understand the hardships you go through, Kamui the Great!
Reiji...
ST, yo! I wanna get strong together!
Eiji...
Okay! Let's go!
Right!
That's kind of cute.
I know. Especially how they're doing their very best...
Yeah.
Their innocence is lovable.
Sure, it's lovable...
My goddess...
...but also...
That was close!
Everyone, training under a palm tree is dangerous, so be careful!
Don't try it at home!
DT, yo!
Picture...
Picture it!
Final Turn!
I lost again!
One more time.
Even though there are a lot of players stronger than me on this resort...
One more time.
Okay, okay...
Not enough... Not enough...
Are you guys okay?!
I'm... okay...
Okay... yo...
Are you alive?
Yes...
I know how you guys feel.
So take a break!
But...
It's fine. Even if we don't do it together, I'm not alone.
The three of us are training!
Kamui the Great!
Two people are greater than one. Three people are greater than two.
I see!
I'm off to beat Tetsu Shinjou!
You guys gave me a hint!
That's why I'm gonna win for sure!
Right!
You want to borrow my grade 3 deck?
Yes. It seems you've got the twinkling, tinkling, most powerful deck around.
I didn't know you were aware of that!
Sounds like you understand how good my deck is...
...soul mate!
Here! Use it as much as you want!
See you later, soul mate! The sea is calling out to me!
I've wanted to try using this deck once.
Ren, I'll put your drink down here.
Thank you.
Let's get started here.
Right, Misa-ki.
Misaki!
Asaka, lend her a deck.
Certainly, Ren.
Pale Moon... This is...
Apparently, Ren wants you to fight him with that deck.
I've got my own deck. Why should I use somebody else's?
Oh, what's the harm? Come on, let's start!
Stand up the Vanguard!
Stand up, Vanguard!
I ride Gold Rutile!
I ride Silver Thorn Dragon Tamer, Luquier!
This deck is full of grade 3s, with hardly any grade 1s or 2s,
so the thrill is in whether I can smoothly ride or not. That makes it interesting.
How is it for you, Misa-ki?
Misaki! Not so interesting.
I'm not used to this deck, so I'm not doing very well with it.
That's the interesting part.
As the fight goes on,
you'll come to understand the deck's good points, bad points, and distinctive features.
Rather than expand your knowledge of someone else's deck,
it's better to make an effort to know your own deck.
Aw, another grade 3.
You got me.
It's the same as that one time.
Even when you won the last stage, you were borrowing someone else's deck.
I ride Blade Wing Reijy.
Speedstar boosts!
I guard with Dark Knight, Emblem Master, and Blue Dust!
Is that all you think of a Vanguard Cardfight?
Hey!
It's okay, Asaka.
Okay.
After all, if you don't try something, you'll never know, right?
You'll never know?
Sticking with one clan and mastering it is good, too.
But there may be other clans that are suitable for you.
Haven't you ever thought of that?
There aren't for me.
There are for me.
That's why I try various decks.
And that's how I discovered something interesting.
Interesting?
Using other clans gives you a better understanding of your own clan.
It lets you take a look at your own clan from a different angle.
From a different angle...
Try various decks...
Will you fight against my deck?
Sure.
Aichi, I'm going to use my own way to get to him.
You go your own way.
My way...
My way of doing it...
But what is a way that suits me?
Even when I first started Vanguard,
just like now, I looked at my deck and thought about how to construct it.
Then and now... and the things that are different...
I see!
Did you say something to Aichi?
Final Turn.
Fight me!
Fine.
Stand up, Vanguard!
Battleraizer...
I ride Raizer Custom!
Go, go, Kamui the Great!
GGK, yo!
I ride Hi-powered Raizer Custom!
On top of that, I call Raizer Custom and Hi-powered Raizer Custom!
He brought out the Raizer series...
Go, go, Kamui the Great!
GG, KG... Huh?
I ride Perfect Raizer!
With Perfect Raizer's skill, all of my rear-guard Raizers move to the Soul.
Perfect Raizer gets +3000 power for each Raizer that's in the Soul!
With five units, that's a 15000 power-up!
Also, when there are four or more Raizers in the Soul, it gets an extra critical!
Even with -2000 power for not having any Raizers in the rear-guard,
Perfect Raizer has 24000 power and a 2 critical!
PK! Powerful Kamui!
I attack Dark Lord of Abyss with Perfect Raizer!
It's still 5 damage.
I'm not done yet!
5-6... It didn't go through.
You've gotten a little better.
It ain't finished here!
Watch me! I'm gonna get stronger and stronger!
Have you caught anything?
Not one bite. I think there might not be any fish here.
Stand up the Vanguard!
Stand up, Vanguard!
I'll fight you with the Bermuda Triangle deck I borrowed from Miss Emi.
I see. Little Witch, LuLu, huh?
I ride Scarlet Witch, CoCo!
You came with a witch deck, eh?
With Little Witch, LuLu's skill, she moves to the rear-guard.
On top of that, LuLu's Soulblast.
I draw one card.
Then Scarlet Witch, CoCo's Counterblast!
When there's one card or less in the Soul, I draw two cards!
Next, with CoCo's skill, when there are zero cards in the Soul, she gets +3000 power!
By having zero cards in the Soul,
Battle Sister, Glace's attack will also get +3000, right?
Hey! I'm fishing here, Morikawa! That's dangerous!
I attack your Vanguard with CoCo!
I guess Bermuda Triangle isn't a good fit for me.
I won...
I'm going to return the deck to Miss Emi.
Ren, I can do that...
It's fine.
You're set on that deck?
No. I'm going to experiment more.
He gave advice to Q4...
But that's why Ren is so great.
Gold Paladin...
Sorry! Until now, I've been so focused on winning that I haven't been facing all of you.
Let's fight together, my Vanguard.
I'm not afraid of fighting with all of you.
I ride Incandescent Lion, Blond Ezel!
Ride!
Here I go!
Bring it on!
Kai!
I'm going to win at the next stage and go to the same place where you are, Kai.
It looks like everyone's gotten something.
I'm going to move forward, doing it my way.
Ren, you're so nice...
Huh? Me?
You went out of your way to be helpful to Misaki Tokura and Aichi Sendou.
Well, it's fun, messing around with serious people like that.
Ren... are you calling Misaki "Misa-ki" because...?
Next time, "Handsome Fight! Mitsusada vs. Gouki!"
Mitsusada is going to the shop?!
I wonder why with such a brooding expression...
Come to think of it, there is one more person with a stiff, serious image...
