And now, the moment you've been waiting for.

Vanguard Hokuriku Region Tournament Elementary Schoolers

It's the QA session with our special guest Michiru Hazama.

- Who wants to ask him a question? - Me!

Great.

Okay, you in the very front.

Um... Well, people say that I'm weak.

How can I become strong?

Meet someone you want to beat.

That would motivate you to research and give you strength when times are hard.

I don't have anyone...

What about me?

Motivated now?

But I can't!

Don't worry, you can do this.

The future...is here.

How kind of Michiru!

He's provided a dream to this young boy!

A round of applause!

Please wait for me.

Ruler vs Skyfall

I'll prepare over there.

Yu-yu.

Let's prepare together.

Cards can calm your nerves, right?

Yes!

Things sure have quietened here.

You're right.

Ouch, that hurts...

What's wrong?

My body still aches from the overnight bus I took.

Where did you go?

Just to Hakata.

Hakata?!

I went to have a cardfight with Mondo.

I can't help seeking strong fighters.

That's how I've always been.

After my battle with Team Daybreak, I went on a long journey.

Everywhere I went, if I heard rumors of a strong fighter, I'd go see them.

After the fight, I'd head to the next town in search of another fighter.

I just kept repeating that.

And then one day,

I heard about a guy who was reaching out to strong fighters.

He was gathering the nation's top fighters to host a tournament to choose the best.

These fighters included the great Michiru Hazama

and other strong fighters I'd heard about.

I don't know how he found me, but one day he appeared with an invite.

I was suspicious of him, but if the rumors were true,

it would be a golden opportunity to take on strong fighters.

So that's how you got here.

Of course, I wanted to see you guys too.

Fortunately, all the guys I faced in Deluxe were strong.

I won the fights, but it could've gone either way.

They were all fiery fights.

I'm glad I came.

Megumi was strong, too. She might beat me next time!

Alright then,

I'm gonna go defeat Raika Koshiba.

He reminds a bit of myself, so I'm looking forward to it.

Sorry that you won't get your revenge.

Not at all, good luck!

That being said, I wanted to be the first to defeat Michiru Hazama.

You're gonna beat him, right?

Tohya...

I'll see you at the final.

Sure!

Michiru...

I've come this far.

Michiru Hazama takes first prize!

Just who in the world can stop him?!

Thank you...for the fight.

Wow, that guy won again.

Promoted to the First Team Raika Koshiba

Maeda didn't make the first team, huh?

It was his last tournament...

It can't be helped. He lost.

We better keep it up or we'll be sent down too.

Maeda senpai.

Yo!

Good luck, Raika. I'm rooting for you!

Thank you very much.

See ya!

Thank you...for the fight.

Incredible.

He's got a mind of steel.

Don't want to be sent down?

Then simply win!

Win... Win...

Win... Win... Win!

I have to...keep on winning!

That's how I seized this opportunity.

Your fights remind me of the way I used to fight back in the day.

I'm not interested in that.

I'm...

All about the results.

Yu-yu!

Guys!

It's almost time.

- Yep! - Huh?

You're not with Urara?

Huh?

No one's here?

The first semifinal... will begin in 15 minutes.

Yikes! I need to get there quickly!

Huh?

This is a bit different from usual...

Urara!

Michiru and Taizo... Why are you guys here?

Is that wrong? We're here to watch the fights.

We saw your fight too, Urara.

Oh, thank you.

I thought you said that you took some days off because you planned to make the final.

Shhh!

Um... Where's Yu-yu and the others?

I'm on the wrong side...

It's starting.

Why's she...?

Raika Koshiba vs. Tohya Ebata

Next up, Raika Koshiba and Tohya Ebata

will compete in the first semifinals!

Good luck.

Yeah, good luck to you, too.

Stand up, Vanguard.

Knight of Heavenly Bow, Base.

Youth Following in Footsteps, Youth.

I draw.

I ride Fort and my turn is over.

My turn.

I draw.

I ride Determined to Break Away, Youth. With its skill, I draw a card.

I attack with Youth.

No guard.

My turn is over.

It's my turn.

I ride Rooks.

With its skill, I reveal two grade 3s, and call Dark Strain from my deck.

I attack with Rooks.

Guard.

I attack with Dark Strain.

No guard.

My turn is over.

It's my turn.

I ride Knight of Ardent Light, Youth.

With its skill, I call Vriede from my deck.

I call Schneizal. With its skill, it gets +5,000 power.

I look at the top five cards in my deck,

and add Youthberk "RevolForm: Gust" to my hand.

I call two Painkillers.

I attack with Youth.

Guard.

I attack with Vriede.

No guard.

I attack with...Schneizal.

No guard.

He's making his move.

Your deck is stacked with grade 3s.

I know it's hard for you to guard.

I guess we're so similar that you know how I like to play, huh?

We're not similar.

We're both knights, no?

My bad.

It's just that you remind me of back when I was obsessed about winning.

In those days, I was yearning to prove my strength by defeating everyone.

But then I realized that I didn't want to get strong in order to win.

I wanted to be strong for the sake of being strong.

- I don't understa-- - You don't have to.

The one thing I'm certain of is that I'm now yearning to get stronger.

It's my turn!

I ride Apex Ruler, Bastion!

With its skill, I reveal three grade 3s in my hand,

draw a card, and call Alden!

With its skill, I call Rafluke and draw two cards.

With Rafluke's skill, I put it in the Soul and Dark Strain gets power +10,000!

I attack with Alden! With its skill, it gets +5,000 power!

Guard!

I attack with Bastion!

Guard!

First check.

Grade 3!

Second check.

Critical trigger!

Dark Strain gets +10,000 power and an extra critical!

With Bastion skill, since I got a grade 3 in the drive check,

I stand Alden and it gets +10,000 power!

I attack with...Alden!

No guard.

I attack with...Dark Strain!

No guard!

My turn is over.

I've got 4 damage.

Go on, it's your turn!

Show me what you've got!

Satisfy my...yearning for strength!

Satisfy you?

Never!

My turn!

It's time to destruct the heavens.

I ride...Youthberk "Skyfall Arms"!

With its skill, I add "RevolForm: Gust" to my hand.

I call Enucleate and make it boost.

Attack the Vanguard with Youthberk!

Guard!

Check the drive.

Drive one.

Draw trigger.

I draw a card, and Vriede gets power +10,000.

Drive two.

No trigger.

Wanting to be strong for the sake of being strong?

I don't understand that.

Strength not build upon winning?

That's worthless.

Fall...forever!

RevolDress!

Here it comes!

Youthberk "RevolForm: Gust".

With its skill, it gets +10,000 power and an extra drive.

Painkiller's boost!

I attack with Schneizal!

With its skill, Gust gets +5,000 power!

Guard!

With Painkiller's skill, I draw a card.

Attack the Vanguard with Gust!

No guard!

Check the drive.

Front trigger.

Damage check.

I attack with Vriede.

No guard!

With Painkiller's skill, I draw a card.

At the end of the turn,

I ride back on... Youthberk "Skyfall Arms" in the Soul.

RevolDress.

Consecutive attacks by a Vanguard, huh?

I can do that too!

It's my turn!

I ride Apex-surpassing Sword, Bastion Prime!

I move Dark Strain.

I call Descorda, Hermona, and Dark Strain!

With its skill, a grade 3 gains a boost!

Dark Strain's boost! I attack with Descorda!

Its skill activates!

This attack hits unless the Guardian's total grade is 3 or more!

I must guard this!

I guard with Alpacc and Zest!

Dark Strain's boost!

I attack with Alden! With its skill, it gets power +5,000!

Guard!

Let me teach you.

The heavens are infinitely wide and high.

If you're fixed on the ground, you'll never...

destruct the heavens!

Hermona's boost!

Attack the Vanguard with Bastion Prime!

Guard!

Triple drive!

First check.

Grade 3!

Second check.

No trigger.

Third check.

Draw trigger!

I draw a card, and Alden gets +10,000 power.

My consecutive attacks aren't over yet.

Bastion Prime's skill activates!

Since I got a grade 3 in my drive check, I stand all my rear-guards!

They all get power +10,000!

I attack with Descorda!

No guard!

I attack with Alden!

Perfect...guard!

My turn is over.

You withstood it.

But... It seems that you've used up your hand.

Both of them are on some next level.

Not only does Tohya have six cards in his hand,

he's got Hermona who can intercept with 15,000.

A normal attack won't reach Bastion.

What can Raika do with no cards in his hand?

I'm hearing...that sound again.

The final damage seems so far away...

No, it doesn't matter whether I need 1 or 6 damages!

It's worthless if I don't win!

My turn!

Yes!

Enucleate's boost!

Attack the Vanguard with Youthberk!

Perfect...guard!

Check the drive.

Drive one.

No trigger.

Drive two.

Critical trigger!

Schneizal gets +10,000 power. Critical +1.

No matter how high the heavens,

I will shoot you down!

Fall...forever!

RevolDress!

Youthberk...

"RevolForm: Tempest"!

With Tempest's skill, the front row units get +5,000 power!

I reveal the top two cards in my deck and add them to my hand.

Grade 3...

Since you have a rear-guard that's the same grade as what I've revealed,

it goes to the bottom of your deck!

With Enucleate's skill, Tempest gets +5,000 power!

I attack with Schneizal!

With its skill, Tempest gets +5,000 power!

Perfect guard!

Attack the...

Vanguard with Tempest!

No guard.

Damage check.

No trigger.

The winner is... Raika Koshiba!

Tohya...lost?

Seriously?

That was incredible.

How dazzling.

I can hear beautiful sounds from him...

But...it sounds somewhat lonely.

You got me.

A single draw can change your fate.

That's why Vanguard is so fun.

How you build your deck is what leads to those draws.

Having fun has nothing to do with it.

You're right.

But aren't those moments incredibly exciting?

I don't understand.

Oh well.

Congrats on making it to the final. You were strong!

Do you still think we're similar?

Of course we are. We're both fighters after all.

Maybe you're right.

Let's fight again.

Yeah, let's do it!

Thank you for the fight.

I'll be waiting...

!تفقدوا بطاقتي

Raika Koshiba here.

This time, I'll introduce Youthberk "RevolForm: Tempest".

When you ride it with RevolDress, the front row gets +5,000 power.

You also reveal the top two cards in your deck.

If an enemy rear-guard is the same grade, it gets sent to the bottom of their deck,

and the revealed cards go in your hand.

It increases power, rids cards, and replenishes your hand.

It's a triple threat form!

Remember that. It will be on the makeup exam.
