Oh, sorry everyone!
I got on the wrong train!
It's you, isn't it? Now I'm sure.
I've been looking forward to my fight with you,
Toshiki Kai.
Let's go, then.
Right.
Vanguard.
It's a card game in which you yourself become the vanguard and fight!
Imagine it! Imagination will become your strength!
Card Capital Team Q4 Battle Between the Shops Team NwO Cardshop Voyage
This means I'll be able to fight you.
My opponent is Leon Soryu, the Asia Circuit champion.
Shall we begin?
Stand up, Vanguard! Stand up, The Vanguard!
Image 9 Kai Loses!!
Red Kick!
Go for it!
My turn is over.
Koutei's already unleashed three attacks in a row.
Too bad he drew that critical trigger.
Kai could've just had 1 damage.
Good going, Koutei!
Nyaaah!
But now it's Kai's turn.
Kai...
Ride!
Berserk Dragon!
Onward!
Damage check!
Draw trigger!
I give the power to my Vanguard.
Now his Daidragon's got 20,000 power?!
But Bellicosity Dragon boosted by Aermo has 21,000 power!
He can beat Daidragon!
Bellicosity, attack Cosmo Beak!
Huh?!
Kai was annoyed by Koutei's three consecutive attacks.
That's why he prioritized retiring a rear-guard instead.
Oh, I see...
I mean, I knew that! Of course!
Daibattles!
I knew it. He's desperately defending his rear-guards.
Next turn, I'm going to beat the daylights out of you.
It's kind of like Kai's playing the bad guy.
You said it, Miss Emi!
Except he's not "playing," he really is a bad guy!
Don't get too close to him!
But Kai...
He looks like he's having so much fun.
Huh?!
It looks like he's having fun?
I don't see it.
Trans-dimension!
A heart of justice burns with flame!
Super Dimensional Robo, Daiyusha!
Imaginary Gift! Force!
Yeah!
Daiyusha gets +10,000 power!
And then I call! Daidragon! Daibrave!
Daidragon's skill activates!
Soulblast!
Daiyusha gets +5000 power!
That means Daiyusha's power is now 28,000!
Everyone!
Attack!
Yes, my Vanguard!
Yes, sir!
If I'd called a Daibrave behind Daiyusha,
the power would be over 35,000,
and I'd have an extra critical.
However...
If he draws even one trigger, his power will be over 35,000.
He's attacking with that in mind?
Strike him down, hammer of justice!
Special move! Justice Sword!
Drive check!
No trigger.
Second check!
Critical trigger!
I give the power to my Vanguard!
Now Daiyusha has over 35,000 power!
I give the critical to...
...Daidragon!
What?!
If he'd given it to Daiyusha, then he'd have 3 criticals!
I get it.
Now he's got 4 damage!
Yeah, but it could've been 5 damage!
Demonic Dragon Mage, Rakshasa! Lizard Soldier, Raopia!
Daiyusha's skill increases criticals.
Whether your damage is 4 or 5,
it doesn't change the fact that I'll be finishing you off next turn.
That's why he left my damage at just 4,
which decreased my chances of drawing a trigger with a damage check,
and limited my Counterblasts.
Plus he got me to use up cards from my hand.
Makes sense.
Stand and draw!
So if he had made me take more damage last turn,
I would've drawn a trigger...
Koutei's been controlling the flow of this game. But now...
Here I go!
Dragonic Overlord,
"The Vanguard"!
Imaginary Gift! Force!
The gift gives +10,000 power.
And then I call Bellicosity Dragon!
Overlord's skill activates.
Soulblast!
Overlord gets +10,000 power.
Now Overlord has 33,000 power!
Koutei's gotta guard against that!
Behold the power and might known as the Flames of Apocalypse.
No guard!
But doesn't Koutei have a perfect guard in his hand?!
Guess not.
Drive check.
No trigger.
Second check.
Critical trigger!
I give all the effects to my Vanguard!
Sorry, Daiyusha!
It's okay!
That's 4 damage! Drat!
Don't worry, Nagisa.
Huh?
Since the attack hit, Overlord's skill activates!
Counterblast!
I also discard two cards from my hand.
Once more!
With this attack, Koutei will have 6 damage!
He's finished!
Not so fast!
Perfect guard!
Diamond Ace!
You won't get past me!
S-So he did have one!
Why didn't he use it earlier?!
So that was his ploy...
If he'd guarded against that first attack, then Overlord's skill wouldn't have activated!
Sure, but when Overlord restands, he only gets one drive check.
And payin' the cost for that skill has reduced his hand.
It was a move calculated to decrease Toshiki Kai's defense during his next turn.
Still, plays like that take beyond average courage.
Drive check.
Critical trigger!
Kai's got an opening!
I give all the effects to Bellicosity Dragon.
If this goes through, Kai wins!
Daibattles!
Cosmo Beak!
Seriously?
It's my turn, huh?
Sub Manager
Daidragon's skill activates!
Soulblast!
Daiyusha gets +5000 power!
Daibrave's skill activates!
Soulblast!
Daiyusha gets another +5000 power!
I call Cosmo Beak!
Cosmo Beak's skill activates!
Counterblast!
Daiyusha gets +5000 power!
Brave up!
Daiyusha's power has surpassed 35,000, so he gets an extra critical!
Furthermore...
By resting a rear-guard,
Daiyusha gets +10,000 power!
So what's the total now?
48,000.
48,000?!
Strike him down, hammer of justice!
Special move! Justice Sword!
To me, Wyvern Guard, Barri!
A perfect guard, huh?
Drive check!
No trigger.
Second check!
Critical trigger!
I give all of the effects to Cosmo Beak!
If you thought that would fend off Daiyusha's attack, you were sorely mistaken!
Watch this, Toshiki Kai.
Daiyusha, give me the ultimate power!
Trans-dimension!
True justice penetrates the darkness!
Ultimate Dimensional Robo, Great Daiyusha!
On the turn when he's ridden, Great Daiyusha gets +10,000 power!
Yeah!
Furthermore, with Great Daiyusha's skill,
each of my front-row units gets +10,000 power!
Yeah!
Furthermore...
Imaginary Gift! Force!
Yeah!
With the gift, Daidragon gets +10,000 power!
40,000, again...
And right after he survived a 48,000 attack, too!
Let's go, Koutei!
Yes! Great Daiyusha!
Don't fall behind, my Dimensional Police comrades!
Yes, sir!
Aye aye, sir!
No guard!
Kai!
Take this! The ultimate hammer!
Super-special move! Great Justice Punch!
Drive check!
Please God!
No trigger!
Second check!
No trigger.
Is this the time to feel relieved?!
Damage check.
Critical trigger.
I give the effects to my Vanguard.
Even with +10,000 power, it's too late.
After all, Koutei's remaining two units both have over 30,000 power.
This means Kai now has 5 damage.
And Koutei still has two units that can attack.
Yeah...
Cosmo Beak!
Embodiment of Spear, Tahr!
Not bad, Toshiki Kai.
In that case...
Go, Daidragon!
A 40,000 power attack...
With just one card in hand,
you shouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Kai's...
No!
To me, Genjo!
What?!
His final card was a 20,000-shield heal trigger?!
It looks like...
...I've managed to guide the flow my way.
That said, I have zero cards in hand.
I have to deliver 2 damage to Koutei in the next turn...
...with hardly any units.
He really is playing the bad guy.
Not "playing," he is a bad guy!
Stand and draw!
There it is! A unit that can attack!
I call!
Nehalem's skill activates!
Counterblast!
I retire Daibrave!
Nehalem gets +5000 power.
By retiring my opponent's rear-guard,
Bellicosity also gets +5000 power.
On top of that, Overlord's skill activates.
Soulblast.
+10,000 power!
Overlord already has +10,000 power from a gift.
That makes 33,000 power!
Bro!
It's Koutei, he'll pull through!
Onward!
At your will!
Shields up! Daibattles, Daitiger!
Drive check!
Koutei's total shield is 38,000.
If he draws even one trigger, the attack will go through!
First check!
No trigger.
Second check!
There it is!
A critical trigger?!
I give all of the effects to my Vanguard.
Great Daiyusha!
Well, I lost.
The winner is Toshiki Kai of Team Q4!
Sub Manager
Team Q4 has taken the lead. Sub Manager
That's totally unbelievable! Sub Manager
Yay, Kai! You did it!
Great fight, Koutei!
Yeah!
Great!
Kai! Great!
All right! One more fight.
Did you forget, Koutei?!
This is a battle between shops!
Yeah!
Oh, that's right! Silly me!
That makes us 2-1, right?
2-1...
You forgot too, huh?!
That just goes to show how into the fight they both were.
Well done.
By not letting any disadvantage hinder you,
you yourself found the key to the future.
Solitary Fighter, Toshiki Kai, let's have a rematch someday.
Be glad to.
Well, see you!
It ain't over yet!
Come back, Koutei!
Congratulations, Kai.
Of course you'd be the one to beat Koutei.
It could've gone either way.
What's wrong?
Hearing you say something like that...
Yeah?
It's just not like you.
Right, Aichi?
But it really did look like you were enjoying it, Kai.
You could tell, Aichi?!
You too, Miwa?
Well, yeah...
The Battle Between the Shops, featuring Team NwO versus Team Q4, is now 2-1.
We've reached the final match.
If I win, Team Q4 will be victorious.
I have one wish.
That the wind will blow.
L-Let's have a good game.
Koutei.
You chose not to boost Daiyusha then.
Was it because you guessed I'd use no guard?
Even without a boost, I would've had 2 critical with a trigger.
And in regards to hand efficiency, "no guard" was logical for you.
That's true.
Boosted or not, if we assume a "no guard,"
you'd be better off using your cards to their greatest advantage.
So that's why you prioritized boosting the rear-guard.
Triggers are luck of the draw.
Image 10 Wind of Aichi!! Triggers are luck of the draw.
Still, that's... Image 10 Wind of Aichi!!
How long are they gonna keep this up? Image 10 Wind of Aichi!!
Image 10 Wind of Aichi!!
