01x57 - Fateful Showdown

[bunniefuu]

The winner... Aichi Sendou!

The teams advancing to the final
round have been decided at last!

Team AL4 and Team Q4! These
teams will clash tomorrow!

Well, well...

You didn't use the precious power...

It seems that I miscalculated.

The time for final judgment has come.

Let's all do our best in
the final round tomorrow!

Right!

Yeah.

Without using that power, to the end...

I never imagined Alfred
Early would show up then!

Yeah, I was surprised, too!

It all began here.

Watch Your Head

Together, we can conquer the whole country.

Kashiwagi Construction

Together, we can soar
to even greater heights!

I refuse.

Get your deck out, Ren!

Kai...

I challenge you to a fight!

What do you think of my image?

This is an image?!

Enfold everything in midnight
with your sword of darkness...

...my avatar, Blaster Dark!

Ren!

Kai... I got stronger, didn't I?

You're leaving.

And you're staying, huh?

I can't desert Ren.

I see...

I couldn't stop Ren,

possessed as he was by that power.

I was mad at myself for not being able to do
anything, except watch him change before my eyes.

So I distanced myself from him.

I chose to run away.

But I'm not the same person I was then.

Remember, Aichi...

Remember the fight you really wanted to have!

The fight I really wanted to have...

Aichi was about to fall to
the dark side of that power,

but I was strong enough to bring him back.

So now...

...this time for sure...

Fateful Showdown

Tetsu...

So you finally came?

I knew you would come, Kai.

Do you know why I came, too?

Yes. To make me surrender, right?

Like you did with Aichi Sendou...

I feel sorry for him.

Thanks to the weird ideas
you put in his head,

Aichi Sendou has chosen not to use his power.

It's foolish to turn away
a power such as this.

Kai...

You don't understand...

how wonderful this power is.

That power changed you.

Relying on it too much has made you forget
how much fun Vanguard is supposed to be.

All you focus on is taking
down your opponent.

Have you forgotten...

the times the three of us had,
competing with each other?

Forgotten?

No matter how much I try, I can't forget.

They really were good times, weren't they?

But, Kai, the one who ruined it

was you.

Don't tell me that you've forgotten.

You abandoned me...

...in retaliation for losing to me that day.

When we formed Team Foo Fighter,

we were far from being strong enough
to compete in the national tournament.

But I was satisfied with that, as long
as the three of us could be together.

However...

You tried to get stronger
than anyone else, Kai.

I wanted to meet that passion with my own.

I wanted to become strong.

For you, Kai, and Tetsu... For the team...

If I could get strong, the three of
us could fight side-by-side forever...

We could even go to the
national tournament...

Yes. I wanted to get strong for all of us.

It was all I thought about...

I have to get strong!

I have to get strong!

I have to get strong!

I have to get strong... I must!

I hear the voice of the cards!

It felt like a secret treasure
chest inside me had been opened.

I could hear the voice of the cards...

And so, in my next fight, they
told me which cards to use.

All I had to do was obey the voice.

If I did that, I would win every time.

I obtained power...

I became strong...

I was thrilled.

And I was sure that you and
Tetsu would be pleased, too.

Tetsu was afraid of my power,
but he tried to accept it.

You, though, Kai... you rejected me.

I gained this power for the three
of us, but you didn't accept it.

No. That's not all.

You deserted me!

I won't forgive you for this!

Kai!!

I hated you then.

I hated you from the bottom of my
heart for disdaining this power

that I gained for the three of us.

I had to prove how grand and
wonderful this power was.

So that even a fool like
you could understand...

Kai, this power that you wouldn't accept
has attracted many other players,

and now there are over 500
members of Foo Fighter in all.

This power is wondrous.

The more I use it, the more it sharpens
my skills, flowing through my entire body.

It's so powerful that it made winning at
the national tournament, the original goal,

feel like a simple attainment.

Kai... I'm grateful to you.

My hatred of you made this power stronger.

It took me to heights I
never thought possible.

Winning at the national
tournament... Foo Fighter...

There's nothing that I can't achieve.

And now my interest lies in... yes...

Perhaps I'll use this power
to take over the world.

Let's fight, Ren.

I'm going to beat you, and that power,

and bring back the person you used to be.

I swear by this!

Bring me back?

Impossible.

You see, this is the real me, the
me that I always longed to be.

I don't know what you've got up your sleeve,

but if you're going to get in my
way, I'll bring you to your knees.

With this power that you refuse to accept!

Ren...

Tetsu...

Yes?

I don't need this.

I don't really get that machine,
so just the gloves are fine.

Right, Kai?

Are they already at the point where fighting
is the only way to resolve things?

We're going to watch this fight, too.

What's the meaning of this, Ren?

You don't mind, do you?

Unless you don't want women to see you lose?

So you came...

Kai? Ren?

Aichi!

Huh.

U-Um, Kourin told me to come over.

He has a right to watch this.

Interesting.

Now everyone who has a connection
to the power is here.

No better stage could have been set.

Aichi, watch our fight.

Watch it closely!

You two are fighting?

Why are those two...?

I was looking for the strength to beat
Ren, and the answer I arrived at is...

Apparently, the power I have
is called "Psyqualia"...

Yeah. I know.

Then I don't need to explain.

I'll just show you...

...this magnificent power!

Wow!

This is Ren's...

Psyqualia.

I saw...

my victory!

That's right. This unit...

I'm going to crush that power!

It's no use, Kai.

Even you will grovel

before this power, Psyqualia.

Stand up the Vanguard!

Draw.

I ride Bahr.

Turn end.

Draw.

I ride Blaster Javelin.

Call.

And attack...

I attack with Blaster Javelin!

I ride Dragon Knight, Nehalem!

I call Burning Horn Dragon
and Flame of Hope, Aermo.

With a boost from Conroe,
Burning Horn attacks Gururubau!

With a boost from Aermo, Nehalem attacks!

Check the drive trigger.

Check...

Got a draw trigger.

I add +5000 to the power of Blaster Javelin.

And then I draw.

I never thought the day would come when
the three of us would gather here again.

But everything has changed.

Kai, you have zero chance of winning.

You can't even imagine
how powerful Ren is now.

Ride!

Blaster Dark!

Call.

Counterblast.

I attack with DonnerSchlag.

I guard with Bahr!

I attack with Blaster Dark!

No guard.

Got a critical trigger.

Got a heal trigger.

I give the power to Nehalem

and heal 1 point of damage.

You're afraid of this power
because you don't have it.

Since you're afraid of the unknown,
you're going to lose this time, too.

And then you'll run away.

I'm not going to run.

I'm done running!

Kai...

I ride...

...Dragonic Overlord!

I call Berserk Dragon!

Counterblast.

Charon!

I attack Nemain with Berserk Dragon!

With a boost from Aermo...

...Overlord attacks!

No guard.

Check the drive trigger.

Got a critical trigger.

I give the extra critical to Overlord...

...and add +5000 to the
power of Burning Horn!

Aermo's skill!

With a boost from Conroe...

...Burning Horn attacks!

Burning Horn's skill!

When the Vanguard has "Overlord" in its name,

this unit receives +3000 power!

Got a heal trigger.

I give the power to Blaster Dark
and heal 1 point of damage.

This is sad...

Fighting is the only way
they can talk to each other.

But I'm also envious.

Suiko...

Stand and draw.

I've only gotten started, Kai.

I ride...

Phantom Blaster Dragon!

I call...

DonnerSchlag's attack!

I guard with Kimnara!

With a boost from Apocalypse,

Phantom Blaster Dragon attacks!

Apocalypse's Soulblast.

When this unit boosts a card
with "Blaster" in its name,

the boosted unit receives +6000 power.

No guard.

Check the drive trigger.

Got a draw trigger.

I give the power to Fatalita.

And then I draw.

Got a draw trigger.

I give the power to Overlord.

With a boost from Charon,

Fatalita attacks!

I guard with Tahr!

Wow. I can feel their intensity from here...

Even if you've forgotten how much fun
Vanguard really is because you're hooked on power,

I believe.

I have faith that the old
Ren is still buried inside.

Stupid...

That person is gone for good.

What's here is a Vanguard fighter made
omnipotent by the power of Psyqualia...

Ren Suzugamori!

This is the one!

This is the trump card
that's going to beat you!

At the end of an endless quest,
you arrive at final evolution!

Sublimate your savage soul
and show your true form!

Crossride!

Dragonic Overlord The End!

On top of Dragonic Overlord?

This is Dragonic Overlord's final form...

Its true form!

Ren, I'm gonna bring you back with this!

"Crossride"?

I guess there are still things
I don't know about Vanguard.

Aichi, watch my fight closely!

And you, Ren... get your old self back!

No, no, no...

The same power that Aichi gave in to
is going to make you fall into despair.

Psyqualia is the power to foresee everything.

Will Kai be able to win?

Next time: Clash! Overlord

I don't know why, but I have no image
of the winner at the end of the fight!
