01x13 - Conclusion! Shop Tournament

[bunniefuu]

Enter the fray, king of all knights!

Ride, the King of Knights, Alfred!

And I call Blaster Blade to the rear-guard!

Final turn.

Hey, it's not over yet!

I used up my hand, but I
wasn't able to defend them all...

Toshiki Kai vs. Misaki Tokura!

The winner is Kai!

Kai won.

Kai...

That was a good fight, Kai.

My victory was guaranteed.

All right...

I can fight Kai if I win this fight.

I'm gonna win, for sure!

Brother Aichi's really fired up.

But Miss Emi's also watching.

I can't lose, either!

It's my turn to attack.

If I can give him 2 damage...

I've got to get my attacks through, somehow!

Here we go, full power!

The End of the Shop Tournament

I switch the places of Marron and Epona.

And I call Gancelot here!

I call Wingal, as well.

He's changing his battle formation
to increase attack power, I see...

But this is the crucial moment for me, too.

I'm going to defend with everything I've got.

I power up Blaster Blade
by boosting with Wingal!

I attack the Vanguard Mr. Invincible!

Plus, using Wingal's skill, power +4000!

I'll let it through.

But that one's really easy to guard!

RG, yo!

Damage trigger check.

Got a trigger!

I give power +5000 to my Vanguard Invincible!

Plus, I stand my rear-guard Invincible!

I attack your Vanguard
Invincible with Alfred!

Royal Paladin brethren,
give Alfred your power!

I guard with Shining Lady!

A shield of 10000... Combine that with
Invincible's 15000 and you get 25000.

Alfred's 20000, so that defense will hold.

I guard with Rock the Wall!

Hey... He's already defended plenty, right?

All that's doing is wasting his hand...

No, there's no way to tell yet.

Twin drive!

First check.

Second check.

Critical trigger, activate!

But even with a power of 25000,
the attack won't get through...

What the...

Even though he got a trigger, and
could increase his attack power...

Kamui used two cards to guard,
thinking about just this possibility.

But this trigger won't be in vain!

Critical trigger, activate!

I add +5000 power and +1 damage to Gancelot!

Gancelot is the only card left
who can attack this turn.

I'll bet everything on this attack!

Shining Lady goes to the drop zone.

Using Rock the Wall's skill,

after it finishes guarding,
it moves to the Soul.

That makes five cards in the Soul.

I attack your Vanguard with
Gancelot, boosted by Marron!

How about that?

He's only got two cards in his hand...

Does he have a card left he can guard with?

I guard with Rock the Wall!

I move Rock the Wall to the Soul.

I gave it all I had, but I only
got a single attack through...

If only I could have gotten 1 more damage!

Hey... About that Rock the Wall...

Doesn't it usually go to the drop
zone after it guards, like a normal card?

That card's special.

You can place it in the Soul
instead of the drop zone.

Oh?

Now that you mention it,
Kamui's Soul's pretty big now.

I stand and draw!

Now, Brother... I'll
finish it with this turn!

I can't let him do that.

I'll defend to the end, you'll see!

Here I go!

Ride, from Invincible to Invincible!

Huh?

Huh?

Why would he ride another Invincible?

What's the point of that Ride?

And I Soulcharge using Invincible's skill!

That makes eight cards in my Soul.

But, unless I get a card that lets me turn cards
back over in my damage zone, I can't activate it.

Is he increasing his Soul
without it doing anything?

I call King of Sword!

Now, I end this!

I attack Alfred with the King of Sword!

Should I let this through?

Damage trigger check...

He still has two more attacks.

If I can defend against
them, this isn't over yet!

I boost with Shining Lady, and attack Alfred!

Go, Invincible!

I guard!

Llew, please!

Okay! Next is the final attack.

I boost with Lucky Girl,

and attack Alfred with Invincible!

I guard with Morgana!

Plus, I intercept with Blaster Blade!

Twin drive!

First check.

If he doesn't get a drive
trigger, then I'll make it!

Second check!

Stand trigger!

I stand King of Sword!

Plus, I add +5000 power to this Invincible!

I guess this is it?

Iron Fist Strike!

Damage trigger check...

I got a heal trigger!

I use its effect to raise
Alfred's power +5000!

And I recover 1 damage.

Attacks are over...

I defended, somehow or another...

Not so fast, Brother.

Mr. Invincible, Soulblast...

Say what?!

Soulblast!

Say what?!

I move eight cards from
my Soul to the drop zone.

And with a cost of 5, Counterblast!

With Mr. Invincible's
skill, I stand all units!

This is his secret technique,
Tornado Stand Galactica!

That power of Mr. Invincible's

requires eight Soul, and
five unflipped damage.

Plus, it can only be used
after an attack hits.

I see! So the reason he increased
his Soul this turn was for this!

Oh! Now that you mention it...

Kamui's been preparing
for this the whole time.

Exciting!

All his units are now standing?

Here I come, Brother.

This is the power of my Nova Grappler deck!

I boost with Lucky Girl,

and attack Alfred with Invincible!

I can't do anything...

Twin drive, first check!

Second check!

Iron Fist Strike!

Damage trigger check...

I've lost.

Kai... I still can't fight you...

The first semi-final fight...

Winner: Kamui Katsuragi!

Aichi...

I don't really get it, but...

But it was really exciting.

Um... Nice fight!

Uh, thanks, Emi.

That's right.

Morikawa, Izaki...

Well, you tried your best.

Yeah! Not bad for someone like you, Aichi.

Brother Aichi!

Honestly, you've gotten much
better at Vanguard fights.

You shouldn't feel bad for losing to me.

That's right! The Great Kamui
is the strongest, after all!

KS, yo!

Kamui...

Why you... Just rub it in, why don't you?

That's not what he's doing, Morikawa.

Kamui's just worried
about me, in his own way.

My fight with you was a lot of fun, Kamui.

It was fun... But...

Losing really does hurt, you know?

Aichi...

Yes.

Kamui, we'll have the finals after
a 10 minute break, so get ready.

Roger that!

Miss Emi, watch me!

I'm gonna win it all, you'll see!

Um...

It wasn't even close, Kamui the Great!

Well, ya know...

Kamui?!

You okay?

I-It's nothing!

That's odd... Why are my knees rattling?
It's like these aren't my own legs...

Kamui was really nervous too, I see.

Did you have fun, Misaki?

Not really. Since I was
forced to participate.

I figure the winner will
be that high-schooler, Kai.

No way! It's gonna be the
strongest grade-schooler, Kamui!

Wait a little longer, please.

I'm sure something good awaits.

Huh?

Okay, for the finals, let's use this
Standing Fight Table[name subject to change] here!

Manager, why is he looking down at me?!

Make my platform a little higher, sheesh!

But if I make it higher, you'll
have trouble handling the cards.

You should give up raising
another step, I think...

GU, yo...

Fine, too bad, then.

This just doesn't feel right.

Aichi...

Now then...

It's what you've all been waiting for!
The final fight of the Shop Tournament!

Toshiki Kai vs.

Kamui Katsuragi!

I've been waiting for this!

I'm gonna...

...re-...

...reform you!

It's revenge! Reform what exactly?

It's too bad you're my opponent.

W-What?

I wanted to fight someone worthy in
the finals. Someone I didn't know.

Why, you...

Hey, what're you blanking out for?

Huh?

You still haven't gotten over it?

You know, when a rank-and-file gets
trampled, they spring back even stronger!

That's grass!

Same dif!

Morikawa... Izaki...

Stand up, Vanguard!

Stand up... the Vanguard!

It's starting!

Time to watch!

S-Sure...

I ride Jarran.

I call Aermo.

I ride Tough Boy!

Genocide Jack, rev up to full speed!

I attack with Genocide Jack!

I guard with the Lizard Soldier, Ganlu.

The two of them are amazing...

Superior ride the Vanguard!

The Embodiment of Victory, Aleph!

Stand up and pay heed, all my warriors!

Tornado Stand Galactica!

That's the same skill I lost to!

Now I can attack three more times!

Try me.

What?

Don't mind if I do!

I boost with Tough Boy,

and attack Dragonic Overlord
with Clay-doll Mechanic!

Check the damage trigger.

I boost with Clara, and
attack with Mr. Invincible!

I guard with the Embodiment
of the Spear, Tahr.

He defended against two attacks!

There's still more! I boost with
Shout, and attack with Tough Boy!

I intercept with Nehalem.

Thanks to his attacks so far, too many of
my rear-guard and hand have been used up!

My unit's power just isn't enough!

He's managed to defend against
Kamui's attack, even with 5 damage.

That's Kai for you.

But Kamui is amazing as well.

I can't believe he's backed
Kai this far against the wall!

It's over now.

Final turn!

I knew it, those two are amazing...

Just watching the two fight like
this... I can't hold in my excitement!

I boost with Bahr,

and attack Invincible with Dragonic Overlord!

I guard with Lucky Girl!

Twin drive.

First check.

Second check.

I got a critical trigger.

I add +5000 power to Dragonic Overlord.

Also, I add +1 to the damage that it gives.

Damage trigger check...

The end.

The winner of the Card
Capital Shop Tournament is:

Toshiki Kai!

Wow...

Both of them really are amazing fighters.

One day, I want to be like them!

Yes, yes...

Now, since we've decided the
winner of the Shop Tournament,

I have a very important announcement to make!

Coming through...

The winner of the tournament today,

Toshiki Kai.

The runner-up, Kamui Katsuragi.

And the rest of the best four,
Aichi Sendou and Misaki Tokura...

The four top finishers will enter here.

There was a bigger poster, actually...

But the sub-manager kinda destroyed it...

Oh!

Whoa!

Great going, Aichi!

What is it?

Whoa! Fantastic!

Misaki Tokura! It's the championships!
A really big tournament!

Huh?

These championships are the biggest
Vanguard tournaments in all Japan!

You four will be the representatives
sent from Card Capital!

First, you'll enter the regional
tournament, and if you win that...

At the next national tournament, you'll
battle with the best from around the country!

Whoever wins there will truly
be the Best Fighters in Japan!

Although the teams consist of three people,
so one of you will need to serve as a backup...

But you've all earned the honor of being
worthy to participate in this tournament.

Everyone, please give these four
a great big round of applause!

Kamui, you're so great!

Awesome!

You guys rock!

Wow, Aichi!

Brother Aichi!

Rejoice, man!

These are the championships I've dreamed of!

Me and my brother are gonna
make our grand debut!

All right! I can't wait!
Show me what you've caught!

What you've caught?

He means "got"...

Miss Emi, please watch me!

Huh?

This time for sure, I'll win the regionals,
and earn my place in the nationals...

And then, you and I will get...

M-M-M-M...

Let's do this!

I'm all fired up!

I-I...

I'll be fighting alongside
Kamui, Misaki, and Kai?

In the Vanguard Championships?

H-Huh?

Maybe this isn't the right picture...

Huh?

Participate in a regional
Vanguard tournament?

Yup. The winner Kai, the runner-up
Kamui, plus you and Misaki as well.

Make me proud!

Right!

There's a bit of time before
the regionals, though...

Prepare yourself.

Right!

That's right... I want to
become stronger, but how?

Next time: The Fearsome
Undead! A Granblue Deck!

This person is really strong!

Oh, to another shop...

I guess the idea is to
travel around training?

...to other shops...
