01x28 - Aggressive Movement! Tachikaze Deck!!

[bunniefuu]

Boy...

You've brought Cannon Gear down admirably.

But...

it's still too early to feel at ease.

Even after losing Cannon Gear,
my army stands as firm as a rock!

Let's go to w*r, my strongest soldier!

Glorious mechanical dragon!
Gallop across the Earth!

I ride...

Tyrant Deathrex!

Deathrex!

That's definitely a powerful unit...

But no matter how strong his units are...

I'm not gonna lose!

For Kamui's sake...

And for the sake of my other teammates...

I'm going to win this fight, no matter what!

The crowd is pumped up,

here at the Vanguard Fight A Block Hall!

And now, it's Ryudou's turn.

He seems to be full of confidence, but
what kind of attack will he show us?

The true fearsomeness
of the Tachikaze deck...

If he is able to pull that off...

No ordinary Fighter could defend against it!

The outcome of the match could
be determined this turn!

Dr. O, what is this "fearsomeness"
of the Tachikaze deck?!

I call Raging Dragon Blastsaurus! Skyptero!

And Savage Destroyer!

Attention, all units! Prepare for attack!

Here it comes!

Be careful, Aichi!

Aggressive Advancement! Tachikaze Deck!

With a boost from Skyptero...

Blastsaurus attacks Blaster Blade!

I guard with Elaine!

I attack with Deathrex!

When Deathrex attacks, its
power increases by 5000!

His power is 15000...

Twin drive, first check!

Second check!

Damage trigger check!

The success of my attack has been confirmed!

I activate Deathrex's skill!

One of my allies must leave the field!

Blastsaurus! Sacrifice yourself!

This unit's skill also activates
by sacrificing an ally...

It's not just any old sacrifice!

It's a sacrifice that paves the way!

Wounded, fallen Blastsaurus!

Show me your skill!

When this soldier is placed in the drop
zone, if I discard one unit from my hand...

I can call a new Blastsaurus!

A new Blastsaurus?!

Then he can attack one more time!

That's not all!

Another power is brought
forth through this sacrifice!

I activate Savage Destroyer's skill!

When a Tachikaze unit is put in the drop
zone, Destroyer's power can increase by +1000!

This is Tachikaze's fearsomeness!

With this combination play born from
sacrifice, his attack power escalates in one stroke!

Certainly, this is amazing!

Oh!

Exciting, isn't it?!

Indeed!

It sure is exciting!

It's because Tachikaze chooses its user...

Hey, you use a Tachikaze deck too, don't you?

Be that as it may, this Jurassic
Army team is pretty tough...

So I wonder how our Aichi
is gonna face him...

Did you see, boy? My Blastsaurus was sacrificed,
paving the way for the rest of my army.

A path that leads directly to victory!

Blastsaurus! Take aim at Blaster Blade!

Prepare to mow the enemy down!

Fire!

Damage check!

Yikes! He's got 5 damage!

Checkmate...?!

Aichi...

He's strong...

This is the level of nationals...

This is the national tournament...

With a boost from Tiny Rex...

Savage Destroyer attacks!

Oh, no!

I won't let you do any more damage!

That marks the end of my engagement.

Yeesh! He's got me on pins and needles!

Yeah. Somehow, he survived that.

He's not out of the woods yet.

That's right... Coming up
is the moment of truth...

Brother has 5 damage...

He has to win in the next turn!

And for that, he needs to do 3 damage...

But the other guy is no easy mark...

If he succeeds in guarding, even once...

Brother will...

Lose this fight!

What should I do?

If my attacks don't get
through this turn, I...

I can't fight alongside him anymore.

So I... I'm sorry!

Right now, instead of chasing after him,
maybe you should get through the preliminaries...

And secure a place for him to come back to.

Kamui...

But... I'm not throwing in the towel yet.

I've decided that I'm gonna win this match!

No matter what the odds are...

I'm not giving up!

All right, we've got Team Jurassic
Army versus Team Quadrafolio!

It's been a fierce battle between the first
Fighters, but the conclusion is in sight!

Am I right?

Yes, indeed.

If Aichi Sendou of Team Q4...

can deliver 3 points of damage
to Ryudou during this turn...



That's a tall order, isn't it?

Exactly.

You understand well.

In the first place, by most definitions,
doing 3 damage this turn would be impossible.

If you state that definitely...

There'd be no fun in that!

Not knowing how it's going to turn out
is what a Vanguard Fight is about!

Let's hope for a miracle.

You're absolutely right-o!

Both of you, do your best!

I stand and draw!

Come forth, holy dragon!

And wield your mystic power!

I ride Soulsaver Dragon!

Soulsaver Dragon, eh?

You brought out your ultimate
weapon, didn't you, boy?

I call Wingal!

Right now, I've got my strongest lineup.

We'll do our best together!

With a boost from Marron...

Gordon attacks Deathrex!

I defend with Black Cannon Tiger!

He blocked it!

Is this the end?

Not yet!

I'm not giving up!

With Barcgal's boost...

Soulsaver Dragon attacks!

It's like you can see your
defeat... You're a brave boy...

I activate Soulsaver Dragon's skill!

When Soulsaver Dragon attacks a Vanguard,
his power increases by +3000!

Twin drive, first check!

Second check!

Epona...

Critical trigger!

He can do 2 damage at once like this!

If it works out, he may even be
able to do 3 damage this turn!

What is this?! A miracle?!

I got a trigger!

I add +5000 to the power of Morgana!

And then...

I give the extra critical
to Soulsaver Dragon!

Damage trigger...

One!

Two!

Yes!! Now Aichi's just one step away, too!



I have to get through this
turn, no matter what!

This soldier's shield is 10000...

What's the boy's attacking strength?!

The enemy has a total of 17000...

My army has 20000...

I can defend!

With a boost from Wingal...

Morgana attacks Deathrex!

And then I activate Morgana's skill!

If I discard one unit from my
hand, Morgana's power is +4000!

Darn it!

I was careless!

I made a huge tactical error...

Here I go!

All right!!

Aichi's gonna win!

He really did do 3 damage this turn...

That's amazing, Brother!

He hasn't given up yet!

Damage check!

I activate a heal trigger!

I don't believe it...

I heal 1 point of damage!

I... I didn't think...

I'm done.

All right, time to move to my final attack!

Right now, I only have two
cards to defend with...



What should I do?!

He can only declare: "no guard".

There're no other options left.

If he's going to lose anyway,

all he can do is let himself take damage,

and bet on a trigger coming up.

Skyptero gives a boost!

Blastsaurus...

Attack Soulsaver Dragon!

No guard!

You're accepting this with good grace, boy!

Damage check.

The winner, Gunji Ryudou!

That first match was important...

It was a fight that I had to win...

Well, that was a marvelous fight!

It was a series of miracles, wasn't it?

This is why I can't quit Vanguard!

Let's give a big round of applause
to both of the Fighters!

Captain, that was a splendid victory.

Don't underestimate Team Q4.

If their other Fighters are like him,
they'll have considerable strength.

Don't get discouraged.

If I win, next in line is Kai, right?

Misaki...

Well, it's my turn.

I'm going to go all out,
no less than you did.

Right!

Misaki, we're counting on you!

Stand up, Vanguard!

Godhawk, Ichibyoshi!

In this second match, it's Bunji
Ryugawa versus Misaki Tokura.

This technical fight is also exciting!

My heart's pounding!

Please, Misaki...

Jeez...

I've never bothered watching a
match in another block before.

Well, it's obvious Ren isn't going to
appear during the elimination round.

So I wonder how A Block is...

Isn't that...

Team Q4?

Red crystal, illuminate the future.

I ride Scarlet Witch, Coco!

Going by how he's played up 'til now...

the two cards in his hand
should both be grade 0...

Wiseman exits the field!

I call Silent Tom and Dream Eater!

A second Silent Tom!

My grade 0 cards are blocked off!

Her opponent has 4 damage now...

And Misaki has 5...

If she doesn't settle it here...

With a boost from Battle Sister, Chocolat...

I attack Deathrex!

I guard with Black Cannon Tiger and Tiny Rex!

Twin drive...

First check!

Second check!

With a boost from Dream Eater...

I attack with Silent Tom!

Damage trigger check!

Yesss!

Just 1 more!

Yeah!

This is my last one.

With a boost from Gemini...

Silent Tom...

All right!

Damage trigger check!

I heal 1 point of damage!

Oh, no...

It's the same as with Aichi's match!

I-Is this possible?!

He's attacking...

Here I go!

Blastsaurus, boosted by Sparksaurus...

attacks Coco!

The winner of the second
match, Bunji Ryugawa!

In this first fight, the
winning team is Jurassic Army!

This is...

This is the national tournament...

Looks like Team Q4 are lightweights, too.

This is their level after all.

They're not our enemies.

I'm sorry, Shin.

I had him cornered, but at
the eleventh hour, he...

Me too...

I guess I'm not strong enough to
beat a national-level Fighter...

That's not true.

Aichi and Misaki, the same development
occurred at the end of both your matches.

Why do you think that is?

Fights at the national tournament are close
battles between very strong opponents.

In other words...

You and your opponent drive each
other to the edge of a cliff.

Not just one side is pushed to the edge.

Both people are.

And when both sides are in that situation,

the slightest imbalance is fatal.

That's right. For example, even
the blowing of a light breeze...

You might as well call a breeze
at that juncture "luck".

Drawing a heal trigger at the
eleventh hour was their good luck.

However, you could also say this...

If the match was swayed by luck,

it means that both of you contended with
national level veterans with equal ability.

You should be proud of this.

Shin...

"Manager", right?

Boy!

Aichi Sendou and Misaki Tokura...

We salute you!

Remember this.

My army only salutes opponents that
we deem to be formidable rivals.

Let's meet on the b*ttlefield again someday.

They recognize your strength, too.

And there are still two fights left.

Let's do our best in the next fight.

Okay!

That was A Block's first fight,
a fabulous tension-filled treat.

But we're just getting started!

So winning Fighters and losing Fighters,
prepare for your next fight!

Come on, let's form an image!

I fought with everything I had, but...

I figured out which cards my
opponent had in his hand...

That's what's scary about the national
tournament, but it's also fun.

If you feel that down about it,

the people who couldn't come are going
to get mad at you for asking too much.

I see...

We won the shop tournament and now
we're here as representatives.

Let's win, laugh, and go home!

Next: When the Moon is Full

My father's card will
become whatever I imagine!
