01x52 - Songstress of the Sea

[bunniefuu]

I really am the strongest!

Good luck, Miss Emi!

Card Capital's shop tournament
is a great success!

If we always had this many people here,
running the shop would be a breeze, right, Shin?

You mean "Manager", right?

And they're "customers"!

The most important thing is that everyone
is smiling, having a good time.

That's pouring it on a little thick.

Manager...

Brother Aichi, Miss Emi won again!

Sounds like she's really trying hard.

It's not about trying hard!

She's in the top group of
winners in the junior division!

Apparently she did her homework,
focusing on cute and strong units.

I think we'd better take her seriously.

I see! Then it's even possible
that Miss Emi could join Q4!

We're finally on the same team, huh?

Uh huh! That's the whole reason
I wanted to get stronger!

Are you okay, Kamui the Great?

OK, yo?!

For now, he's the top player
in the senior division.

Morikawa?

Yes. I'm tabulating the results
right now, and according to this...

Sub-manager!

I mean... Manager... please!

It's unbelievable! I mean, Lose-umi...?!

Well, he really was strong. Even though
he wasn't using his own deck...

Manager! Is that really a
normal constructed deck?

Yes, it's an uncustomized
Golden Mechanical Soldier deck.

Amazing...

Well, Q4 members...

Although Kai isn't here...

I don't mind you having a good
time at today's shop tournament...

...but you've got the national
tournament finals coming up.

And so we have this!

"Awakening of Twin Blades" booster packs?

Encountering new cards
will make you stronger.

So we'll reconstruct our decks!

Right!

Songstress of the Sea

The national tournament finals...

Our opponents there will probably be
stronger than anyone we've faced before.

If we keep winning, we'll fight Caesar...

...and then AL4...

They're totally strong!

But I swear I'll beat 'em!

Asaka Narumi, I haven't lost much recently.

Next time, I'm gonna win!

Ren...

All I was focusing on was winning,

which made the power of
Psyqualia attractive to me.

But I came to my senses...

...and remembered how fun Vanguard is.

Since it's fun, you can compete with your
friends and improve your techniques.

You can get to know your rivals.

I'm going to have fun playing Vanguard.

I'm aiming to win, but
while having a good time.

Together with my friends...

That's how I will fight, Ren.

Attack, Asura Kaiser! Finishing hold!



I won!

There you go! Just keep
it up and you'll KW, yo!

Yep! Keep winning!

Junior Proof of Victory

I attack with Top Idol, Pacifica!

I lost!

You did it! Emi, you're doing great!

Junior Proof of Victory

That's really impressive! Right now,
I think you've got the most wins.

Really?

Hey!

Don't you think Miss Emi is a good fighter?

I attack with my Vanguard!

I guard with Shining Lady!

Yeah, GF!

And first to last, she fights
the way she wants to.

On top of that, it looks like she's having
a great time while she's fighting, you know?

I attack with tinkling,
twinkling Gold Rutile!

Another huge win!

I attack with G-G-G-G-Gold Rutile!

Overwhelming victory for me!

Senior Proof of Victory

Morikawa hasn't been defeated yet...

Card Capital Shop Tournament

He's out of control...

The strongest fighter, Katsumi Morikawa!

If you think you can beat
me, give it your best shot!

Morikawa is amazing, huh?

Are you serious?

I'm the strongest!

No, you're not! I'm the strongest!

Who said that?!

I remember you! "Attack!"

That's not my name!

My name is Osamu Kishida!

Is that right?

Do your best, Big Brother!

If you're going to call yourself "the
strongest", please do it after defeating me.

You think you're a match for me?

Of course, Lose-umi.

Fine.

You're ignoring that?

Seriously?! He didn't react to "Lose-umi"?!

I never thought this day would come!

Against Lose-umi?

Let me tell you something. Aichi Sendou, who
progressed to the national tournament finals,

is my number one pupil!

I'm... what?

Because I willingly gave up my spot
to him at a previous shop tournament,

Aichi Sendou is where he is today!

"Willingly"...?

I raised Aichi!

He became strong because I tested him!

I'm the strongest.

That's me!

Now, now, both of you.

Work off all that rage during the fight.

Leave the grudge behind
and just have fun, okay?

Yeah! We don't need two strongest!

I'll show you that I'm the number
one, ultra-special, deluxe,

wonderful, beautiful, grateful,
delicious, strongest of all!

In that case, I'll prove that I'm the
very eccentric, best, strong, ultimate,

congratulation, natural,
fantastic, strongest...

...of them all!

That doesn't even make sense!

Look who's talking!

Enough! Showdown time!

Stand up, Vanguard!

Okay. Let's let them do their
thing, while we do ours...

Guess I didn't have to say that.

Everyone has a good game face.

Which one should I put in my deck?

Kirara has a draw skill that's
valuable in a Nova Grappler deck.

But I wanna conserve my Counterblasts,

so if I concentrate on power,
would Eisenkugel be better?

How about Street Bouncer?

Street Bouncer?

Street Bouncer's skill is drawing if two
cards are at rest in the rear-guard.

I see! I can draw without
using a Counterblast,

and it goes well with the skills of
Top g*n and the Death Army units!

This is the one to go with for sure!

Thank you for the advice...

Kai!

You gave me advice?!

If you don't like it, don't
take it. It's up to you.

We're on the same team, so you
could say it's only natural...

...but Kai has never done
anything like that before.

And no matter how right Kai was, Kamui would
never do anything he says out of pride.

I'll give this a try to see if
it really is the best choice!

Let's fight, Kai!

Sure.

To make the team stronger...

Vanguard attack!

What?! Intercept!

Stand up, the Vanguard!

Stand up, Vanguard!

You'll regret giving me advice after
I give you a good walloping!

Say that after you win.

Their back-and-forth is the same as
before... and yet, it's completely different.

Aichi, will you be my opponent?

I wanna try out the new deck I put together.

Of course, Misaki.

There's a nice atmosphere here.

It looks like we've got the perfect balance
for the finals tournament, too.

I ride Stern Blaukluger!

Miss Emi, would you fight us?

WY... no?

Those voices!

Reiji? Eiji?

Please!

Th-Those guys...

Sure! Right?

Yeah!

Wha...?! No!!

Then let's go!

LG, LG!

After everything I said, they're
gonna ignore me and fight Miss Emi?!

Gloomy Gloomy Gloomy

I mean... naturally, they're gonna fight.

Naturally... but still...

Rats!

Where are you going? We're
in the middle of a fight.

Th-They're planning to fight with my goddess!

If you're a fighter, then act like
one. Go after this match is over.

Got it! I'm gonna beat you so
fast it'll make your head spin!

Reiji! Eiji!

If you beat Miss Emi, I'll make you pay!

I hate people who talk like that!

Man, he's a busy guy.

You're one to talk!

Let's fight fair and square!

Sure!

Why?! Why can't I be fighting Miss Emi?!

Why do I have to fight you?!

It's, you know, ladycress!

Amusing, but you wanna say "ludicrous".

Don't turn Kai into a woman!

Right! Ladycrous!

Whatever.

More importantly, focus on
the fight in front of you.

sh**t! sh**t, sh**t!

Let's keep going here, too.

Right!

Yeah!

After six turns, Emi has 5 damage...

Reiji has 3 damage!

I have to win during this turn!

I'm gonna protect myself so you don't!

It's my turn and I draw!

There it is! Here I go!

I ride Top Idol, Riviere!

Ride?

Even though your Vanguard
before, Top Idol, Serum

was also a grade 3 with 10000 power?

When Super Idol, Riviere is in the Soul,

Top Idol, Riviere gets +1000 power!

So that's why!

I call Mermaid Idol, Felucca!

I activate her skill! Soulcharge!

I attack with Pearl Sister,
Perla, boosted by Perle!

No guard!

Just 2 more...

I attack with Top Idol, Riviere!

I guard with Twin Blader!

By dropping one card from my
hand, I have perfect defense!

Drive trigger check!

Draw trigger!

I add +5000 to the power
of Top Idol, Pacifica!

And then I draw!

Second check!

Only Pacifica is left, and you
need to do 2 more damage...

Pacifica's critical is 1...

It looks like I'm gonna win this match, huh?

Nope! The match isn't over yet!

I attack with Pacifica, boosted by Felucca!

You're wasting your time. No guard!

Damage trigger check!



Mai, it's okay!

When Pacifica's attack hits,
her skill is activated!

Megablast!

I superior call three Bermuda Triangle
units from my deck to the rear-guard!

Flute! Sedna! Blazer Pleasures!

Perle and Perla exit the field!

Flute's skill!

When there are four or more Bermuda
Triangle units in the rear-guard,

she receives +3000 power!

And then I activate Blazer
Pleasures' skill!

When she enters the field, another Bermuda
Triangle unit gets +2000 power!

Of course, I give it to Flute!

I see! The units
which have already attacked.

They are replaced using superior call...?

With a boost from Sedna...

...Flute attacks!

No guard!

It's not over yet! DT, yo!

D-Damage trigger check!

I lost.

YL, yo.

Yay! Emi, that was fantastic!

Junior Proof of Victory

Thank you! That was fun, Miss Emi!

TY, yo!

Finished!

The shop tournament...

...has come to a close!

Thank you, everyone!

The winner of the junior division is...

...Emi Sendou!

Congratulations! To mark the occasion,
you get Sub-manager's autograph!

Thank you!

Victory

Um...

Congratulations, Emi!

Congratulations!

Emi...

Congratulations, Miss Emi!
I knew you could do it!

N-Next time, I'll enter the junior division!

Thank you, Kamui!

Happy ending, right, Kamui the Great?

HE, yo!

And the winner of the senior division is...

...Katsumi Morikawa!

Yeah!

I'm the strongest!

Great, Morikawa!

I guess I can't call him
"Lose-umi" anymore...

I hate to admit it, but he's strong
when he fights with a regular deck.

Yay! Thank you!

Since you defeated me, you have the
right to call yourself "the strongest".

Attack...

What is this mood?

Was he really that strong?

Attack's record...

Huh? He didn't even win once!

Osamu Kishida

Well, Morikawa, would you return that deck?

Oh, that's right! Almost forgot!

I've decided to buy this deck!

Thank you!

Even with this weak deck, I'm the strongest!

All I have to do...

...is improve it, and I can become
the strongest of the strongest!

All right! I'll fix it as soon as I get home!

Fix it?

That means... that he...

I'm the strongest!

Morikawa is number one!

Number one! Number one! Number one!

Why? Why?!

After all my wins yesterday,
why can't I win today?!

I don't understand!

I customized the deck by putting
in a bunch of grade 3s...

...so why am I not winning?!

This... This must be because
I had a bad horoscope today!

Flower fortune, feng shui, and...

What should we do about him?

No! My strongest deck should be able to...

One more time! Fight me one more time!

This time for sure, I'll
prove that I'm the strongest!

Morikawa...

I guess Morikawa will be Morikawa...

I'm not sure if I feel
disappointed or relieved...

You know?

Oh! You just laughed, didn't you, Kai?

Don't be stupid.

No, you laughed!

Shut up!

Why?!

I can't believe it!

My strongest grade 3 corps...!

My goddess was right in front
of me, but I couldn't fight her!

Today's horoscope...

Yesterday's flower fortune...

The worst!

I forgot that fights were fun...

Thank you, everyone!

Next time: The Battle
Begins! Tournament Finals.

Fights with Team Caesar
and Team AL4 are waiting.

My imagination will become my power!
