Cardfight!! Vanguard: Legion Mate-hen

I'll set the whole world free!

Liberator, Monarch Sanctuary Alfred!

Liberate the lock!

Five comrades, gather on the battlefield!

For the sake of everyone who is dear to me...

For the sake of this world that I love...

When this world was enshrouded in darkness

and on the brink of extinction, there was a man who saved it.

His name is...

Who are you?

You're...

A dream?

The Missing Leader

The number of card game players across the world has surged to hundreds of millions of people.

It's became a part of our lives that we take for granted.

The card game that attracts the most attention is Cardfight!! Vanguard.

In today's world, children and adults alike enjoy Cardfight!! Vanguard.

At a glance, it looks like everything is right with this world.

But...

Welcome, Kai.

Is Aichi here today?

Aichi...?

I don't think I've heard the name before.

Who is he?

Are you kidding?

You know, Aichi... Aichi Sendou.

Has he been here before?

"Has he been here before?"

As if he's just another customer!

Come to think of it, there is a customer here by the name of Sendou.

Right over there...

Pacifica attacks!

I lost!

You sure are strong, Emi.

Emi... Sendou?

Yes...? Oh, Toshiki Kai!

You're a really strong Cardfighter, right?

You know about him, right, Mai?

Sure!

Where's your brother today?

I'm an only child...

Is something wrong?

Do you know Aichi Sendou?

Sendou... Is that a relative of yours, Emi?

Nuh uh. No one I know.

Um...

Never mind. It's nothing. Sorry to bother you.

Oh, that's right, a new trial deck's come in.

I wanted to show it to you...

Huh? Now where did I put it?

Do you know, Sub-manager?

Never mind the manager... Aichi's sister doesn't even know him?

What in the world is going on?

If only Misaki were here at a time like this...

Tokura...

That's right, she's the one with the perfect memory.

Sure. She doesn't forget a thing.

She remembers every little thing you've said...

...and brings it up long after you've forgotten.

But anyway, she said she's got something to do at school today, so she'll be late.

Excuse me.

Come again soon, Kai!

Sub-manager

Now where could that trial deck have gone?

I'm sure that the battle to save the world is over.

And yet, Aichi, who protected the world's peace,

has been erased from everyone else's memories?

But maybe Misaki Tokura's power of memory will...

Miyaji Academy, High School Division

You want to talk to a student?

Yeah. I don't know her class, but her name is Tokura...

Kai?

Tokura, does the name "Aichi Sendou" ring any bells for you?

Aichi... Sendou...

No. I don't remember hearing that name before.

There's a girl, Emi Sendou, who comes to the store though...

I see.

Aichi doesn't even remain in Tokura's memory?

You went to all the trouble of coming here just to ask me that?

Yeah.

I hope you find him.

Well, I'm about to head home...

Sure.

By the way, Tokura...

I heard you were staying late at school because you had something to do...

Was it a Cardfight Club meeting or something?

We don't have a club like that at our school.

My assigned cleaning duties just took a long time.

I see...

So even the Cardfight Club that Aichi founded doesn't exist now.

Physics Prep Room

Kai! I finally formed an official Cardfight Club!

Then, we can use the physics preparation room as our club room.

And also...

Aichi...

I still have a debt to repay to you.

Blaster Blade?!

What happened?

What did I just feel?

This is a Vanguard deck.

Why did it come to me?

Royal Paladin...

This is...

...Blaster Blade!

The one I gave to Aichi...

Blaster Blade, what are you trying to tell me?

Hey!

Naoki Ishida...

How do you know my name?

You don't know who I am?

Uh uh. Nope.

I'm Toshiki Kai. So, what do you want?

I saw you back there.

You're wearin' the uniform of a different school. Made me curious...

Then I saw you go into the physics prep room and come out holding somethin'.

This?

That's it! That made me really curious.

So... what is it?

A deck.

It's for a card game called Cardfight!! Vanguard.

Vanguard...

It doesn't bring back any memories?

Nope. Never heard of it.

I don't think so...

And yet, that deck...

That name, Vanguard, strikes a chord in my heart...

Why?

The second I saw that deck, my heart started beatin' fast.

Why not learn the reason for that through a Cardfight?

Cardfight?

You mean fight you?

You're on.

Follow me.

Sorry for the bother.

Welcome.

Oh, Kai and, uh... you are...

Boss Lady!

We're gonna use a fight table.

Help yourselves.

Put your bag down over there. We'll do it here.

R-Right...

So how do I do it?

For starters, give the rules here a quick read-through.

Sure...

Let's see...

Here.

Shin wanted you to see this deck.

A Narukami trial deck...

Can we use it?

Okay with me.

Use this.

All right...

Do you remember the rules?

Yeah...

For some reason, they're easy to remember, as if I've read 'em before.

Then you go first.

Cool with me.

You put one grade 0 card face-down in the Vanguard circle,

then draw five cards from your deck.

Gotcha...

If you get a hand you don't like,

you have one chance to re-draw as many cards as you want.

It's good to have grade 1, 2, and 3 cards in your hands.

How about you?

I'm good.

Then let's start.
