[Episode 1] CARDFIGHT!! VANGUARD Divinez DELUXE Finals – Path to the Strongest

I’ve still got a long way to go before I can do that. It would literally take a miracle. You never know. A miracle could always happen at this year’s Deluxe. H I see I’m not the only one with high hopes. There’s that one kid in particular. I find him interesting. He managed to defeat Kagatsu Yakumo. The boy of miracles. Choose, O seekers.

A Vanguard pro. I want to make it to the same level as you. Hina, want to hang out at the stray cat after this? Sorry, I have to work. Why do you always have to work so hard? You know, the deluxe tournament starts again next week, right? Mhm. It sure does. The lineup for the tournament was chosen by lottery. And now here are the results. Kagetu Yakumo versus Ruko Mako. Oh, I can’t wait. Ruka Mako. I’m glad fate has brought us together. Zuo Ysuki versus Eric Mojo. Suo Yobitsuki. Hikari Miodto Mire Manai versus Miri Hazama. Okay, that’s good. Akina Miato versus Meumiura. Akina’s going to be my next opponent. I’m up against the leader of Blackout, the Meumiura. Just to liven things up, we’re not going to have the fights in the order they were announced. We’re going to switch them around. The finals of the deluxe tournament are coming up soon. They’ll be kicking off one week from today. Come and see the sparks fly, even if you have to stay up for six nights straight to get in. I’ve only got a week to go. And so, what should I do to prepare? The answer to that is nothing. A week’s training won’t make much of a difference. I guess not. Maybe I could research my opponent. You know, come up with a plan to counter their usual tactics. It’s not a good idea to just focus on your opponent. You need to get to know yourself better first. Okay. Sure. Aie, you’re a fast learner and you’ve got guts. Just prepare as much as you can. But when all said and done, it comes down to luck. I don’t know much about training, but I’m happy to help you practice. That’s good of you. You’re lucky to have a teacher like me. That’s true. And I really mean it. I’ll be sure to make some time for you this week. After all, soon we’re not going to see as much of each other. Uh, wait. Sorry. What did you just say? Uh oh. Didn’t I tell you? I’m quitting this job. I’ll be leaving next month. What? College is super busy. Plus, I want to focus on my career as a pro. All that means I can’t work here anymore. Right. I see. A Hey, now what’s with the sad face? It’s not like we’re never going to see each other again. As student and teacher, we have a bond. Yeah. However, as your student, I hope things will go further because you want to turn pro. Yeah, I do. And then we will become rivals. But first, I need to win the deluxe. That’s right. And I know I can do it. I promise. You promise? If it’s a real promise, you better not break it. Uh, well, I uh Pinky swear. Come on. Whatever it takes, I’m going to win. You know what? I believe you. Now’s quitting her job at the restaurant. I guess I should have known. There was no way things would stay the same forever. That’s not how life goes. I made her a promise and I’ll keep it. Cheeky, how did you Hello there, Akina Miodo. What a stroke of luck. Stroke of luck? Really? I suppose it’s almost a miracle. Perhaps you’d like to come with me. I’m just about to head back to the place where the ultimate of them all resides. What? Kagettu. Uh, Kina, why are you here? Because he said he’d lead me to the place where the ultimate is. And you? Why are you here? Jinky told me the exact same thing. So, does this mean you’re the ultimate one, Kagansu? Nitiu Hazama? Long time no see. Nichiu? So, you’re who they meant by the ultimate? What? I thought it was you. No, not me. Well, then who? Huh? Huh? Yeah, I heard from Big Bro. He wants to turn pro. That’s all he ever talks about when he’s at home. says he finally figured out what he wants to do with his life. He even stayed up until dad came home just so he could tell him. I see. Big bros discovered his dream and he’s decided to give it his all and he’s finally putting himself first for a change. I know you called me here just to tell me that. Not really. I just wanted to have a chat with you, that’s all. Thank you. I’m planning on becoming a pro as well, so I can make my own way in the world. I see. I had a feeling you might. That’s why I’m going to win the deluxe. So, even if I have to go up against big bro, I’ll defeat him. Fine with me. Besides, if I can win the deluxe, it’ll be a really big achievement for me. Truly special. Yeah, I get it. When I was in the hospital, the lady in the room next to mine, Karum, was watching the live stream of the first deluxe tournament. That final match, watching them fight made my heart race. It was so exciting. It’s what first got us into Vanguard. That takes me back. Now I’ve made it to this dream stage. I’m going to win no matter what. Then good luck. You realize the goal you’re aiming for means a lot to me as well. Just leave it to me. We made it just in time. You made me go through a lot to get here. But it’s a dream come true. My dream? No, our dream. The Vanguard Dome. Here we are. The venue for the finals of the third deluxe.

Draw jeweled Magnus booster pack. Dragon Soul Resonance. Bushy Road. I’m glad I get to face you again in an official tournament and that you didn’t stop with Vanguard. You know, I was on the verge of quitting. Still, I’m glad I didn’t. You’re a strong player. Back then, I wasn’t able to beat you. Oh, that’s ancient history. I gave up halfway through my career. Not like you. You kept striving for the top to become the strongest. We’re light years apart. You think so? That’s not what I see in your soul. Let’s card fight. You never change, do you? Sure, but not today. You see, before I can fight with you, I’ve got to fight to settle within myself. I can’t believe it’s still here. Well, of course it is. Huh? Long time no see, babe. Tamarin. It’s Tamarin. I’ve missed you so much. Oh, no you don’t. You don’t get to have a big emotional reunion after you up and left us. That hurts my heart. You know how much trouble we’ve had to endure since you abandoned us. I owe you one, that’s for sure. Thanks to you, Blackout’s still going strong today. Good job. You’re just trying to butter me up. But honestly, we’ve got a great team here. The members may have changed a lot over the years, but the core philosophy has remained the same. But then I’d expect no less from a team you founded. I didn’t start it. We started it together, right? I’m sorry. Because I wandered off, you ended up bearing most of the responsibility. You got that right. But don’t go beating yourself up. You’re always looking toward the future. That’s what makes you so cool, Ruka. You’re the cool one, Tomari. Huh? You never abandon anyone. Whether they’re by your side or behind you, you’re always looking out for them. Tamari, you’re the reason Team Blackout’s always been the best. Whoa, that’s not fair. I can’t say anything in return to top that. Why’d you say that? Like I told you, you watch over us at night. The guardian of Blackout. You’re making me blush. Everybody’s getting together tonight like old times. I can’t wait. We’re going to be facing each other in the finals. Let’s save it for the deluxe. Okay, sounds good. Is this why you called me? I thought you two might like a chance to catch up. Thanks. It was good to see you. Bye. See you later. And he’s off. Oh, Miracle Boy, huh? You mean me? Tao told me. I saw your last round in the prelims. You interested in having a card fight? You sure? I attack with blankmire. No, I lost. You’re on a roll, Suo. That was quite a good fight. Yes, it was. Suzun, you don’t live around here, do you? What are you doing in Kaga? Well, I made all my travel plans in advance, assuming I’d make it to the final. And because you guys are my friends. No way. You think of me as your friend. You guys sound like you’re having fun. Here’s your million creme caramel. Looks great. Thank you. Hey, do you know if Aina’s around? No. Apparently our manager has been watching the deluxe and was like, “You need to be focusing on that.” And then Aki was forced to go home early. Everyone seems to love Akina. I wish I could have hopped on the bandwagon and left early, too. Nice creme caramel. Anyone want to get a drink before we eat? I will join you. Enjoy yourselves. Is it true what I heard that you’re training Suo? Yeah, cuz I’m rooting for him to win. I know what that feels like. Okay, let’s see who can make the best mocktail. Challenge accepted. Mine’s going to be the most delicious drink ever drink on Earth. You guys, if you’re going to do that, you better make sure you drink it all. Suo, you’ll beat Sugi. I’ll hate him as long as I live. A car fight with you. I’d love to. No, not so fast. I’d prefer it if you saved all that fun for the tournament. There’s a chemistry between fighters. You play each other now. It won’t be the same during the deluxe. Aina, your goal is to become champion. Yes, of course it is. Yeah. Huh? So, that means you plan to beat me, too. Show me this miracle of yours. My name’s Akina Miodoto. Huh? Mitu Hazama. I will defeat you and become champion. Sure. See you at the deluxe. Akina Miodoto. Yeah. Miu, Kagettu, Meumi, all of the players in the finals are amazing fighters. If I’m going to become champion, I have to survive against every single one of them. That’s what it takes to win a tournament. H You’re quite a strong fighter. I may not look the part, but I used to lead a team, too. So, I heard. I also heard you were a bit of a naughty boy. I really don’t know what to say about that. But everyone forgave you in the end, right? Blackout’s a good team, don’t you think? Yeah, it sure is. All right, fellow Drifter. How about a fun and friendly brawl? I say bring it on. You’re in an upbeat mood, M. I guess something good must have happened to you. I’m going to see someone special who I haven’t seen in a long time. This someone’s a friend. Yeah. A friend who is very dear to me, who changed my life for the better. Yeah. All right. I’ll be waiting. The winner is Mako. Thanks. That was such a fun card fight. You and Bastion, you were amazing together. Pleasure’s all mine. I had fun, too. Ruka, what were you doing when you were overseas? I traveled around, had card fights along the way. Like a warrior on a quest? No, no, not at all. For me, the way I see Vanguard, it’s a magical tool to connect me with others. My dream is to connect with people all over the world through my card fights. Through fighting. That’s the same as team Blackout. I’ve heard so many stories about her, but I still can’t get a handle on Ruka. She’s a mystery. She’s the kind of girl who always ends up as the center of attention of any group she happens to be in. She’s definitely got a natural charisma about her. You know, I could never be like that. Would you mind if I point out one of your biggest weaknesses, Mag? What? You’ve always had low self-esteem. Mhm. You realize everyone on the team trusts you, don’t you, M? You should have more self-confidence. I guess I had a bit of an inferiority complex. I’ve never stood out in the same way as Big Bro or Toya or Yuyu. I was a good student, but nothing special. But things are different now. I know I’m strong. That’s right. And I’m glad you finally see it. Now that’s true strength. On a journey. Our goals might be different, but we have that in common. We’re Blackout’s happy wanderer duo. I guess so. Hey, Toy Doya, tell me something. How come you didn’t enter the Deluxe this time? Ah, that’s because you came all the way to Antarctica and all you want to do is card fight. Yep. That’s what I do. Huh? Finally, a signal. The third deluxe. It’s that time of year already. Before I knew, the tournament had already begun without me, and I missed it. Yeah, slip ups like that happen all the time. No, they don’t. They can when you don’t have a cell phone. What? You don’t? I’m home. Welcome back, big bro. Hey, guess what? I met the other me earlier today. Oh, yeah. What? Why did you react like that? I don’t know. I just didn’t think you two were close, that’s all. Well, I guess that’s true. Anyway, she wanted me to give you a message. Uhhuh. I’m going to win the tournament and become a pro before you. That’s it. She’s got some nerve. She won’t win cuz that’s what I plan to do. And in the blink of an eye, the week flew by. It starts tomorrow. I had a real hard time finding you. Is there some rule that says the leader of Blackout has to have a wandering heart? You’ve heard of Team Blackout? Of course I have. Between you and me, that team really hates my guts. And why is that? Because you’re a bit of a schemer. You can tell. That’s scary. So, the deluxe, huh? Well, not interested. Are you sure? All the strongest players will be there. To be honest, I really don’t care if they’re strong or not. Still, sounds like there might be some interesting fighters. Now, that is something I can guarantee. Count me in. K. I wonder what kind of fights I’ll have. Yeah, I know. Trust me. I’ll make sure that gets taken care of. However, let me just focus on this for now. Michu, it’s time to head back inside. Hina Miodto. Oh, that’s the guy who beat Kagetsu, isn’t it? Yeah. I find him interesting. Michu Hazama, I will defeat you and become champion. His soul is dazzling, radiant. Yuyu over here. And you’re late, Yuyu. I’m coming. Hey guys, thanks for your patience. It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for. The start of the tournament finals. You’re going to be on the edge of your seats until you see the outcome of these battles. Am I going to win this no matter what? It’s starting at last. Funny fight takes the stage in Vanguard. We get to fight together again. Impact Gargantua Punisher. Raise the flag with title booster. Future card buddy fight. Bushy road. Stand up. Vanguard. Ride into fierce card fights and drive your way to victory. How will you take the fight? On sale now.
