01x05 - Whirlwind! Kamui, the Grade-Scool Fighter

[bunniefuu]

In order to become stronger at Vanguard
fights, I have to get some grade 3 cards.

Weak! Too weak!

Say what?!

I stand, and draw!

Time for this fight to be over.

What did you say?

I ride... Asura Kaiser!

A grade 3?

Attack, Asura Kaiser!

Finish Hold!

Now who claimed they'd beat me
and have the last laugh again?

You lost, so say it.

We can't hear you!

Don't get all smart just 'cause you won!

What...

He won, taking only 2 damage.

Incredible.

Incredible, me?

No, I'm not incredible.

I am strong!

c*ck a nose, 'cause you're listenin'
to Kamui the Great, number one!

It's c*ck an ear, not a nose...

This brat's pretty strong when it comes to
Vanguard fights, but his personality has issues.

You're one to talk.

He doesn't give anyone any respect, whether
they're grade-schoolers or adults.

I'm thinkin' about teaching him about
respecting seniority and all that...

As expected, Kamui the Great!

SS, yo!

Es-es?

Super-Strong, yo!

He doesn't even know what
SS means. What a BK.

Dang straight, yo.

BK?

Big knucklehead?

H-Hey, you brats!

You think he's fought Kai?

Um, would you fight me next?

What's your name?

Aichi Sendou.

Aichi Sendou?

You're weak, ain't ya?

No thanks.

I can tell who's strong.

I can't feel a thing from you.

Not gonna get anything from
beatin' up weak people.

It's true that I've only started
Vanguard fighting recently,

and I don't have any grade 3s...

Even if you did, you couldn't beat me!

You're a big weenie, Aichi!

Well, it looks like it's my turn.

The strongest Vanguard Fighter
in Hitsue Junior High!

I, Katsumi Morikawa, will
face you one-on-one!

If I win, you start treatin' me with respect!

Sounds like a plan! Then, if
I win, you gotta do the same!

Stand up! Vanguard!

Attack, Asura Kaiser!

I lost...

Morikawa...

I told you, I'm strong!

He's not just talk. He really is good.


kids! Impressive, Kamui the Great!

SS, yo! Super-strong, yo!

You're all bluff. You're the
worst player I've ever beaten.

Today was just a fluke!

The stars were in the worst possible
alignment, so I couldn't get anything going!

I believe you promised to
show me some respect, Loser.

Yeah, I did, Mr. Pipsqueak.

Say, what?!

A booster pack, was it?

Right.

I hope you get a grade 3.

Yeah.

I've bought plenty before,
but never gotten one.

But this time, I really want to get one!

I knew this was where you would be!

Oh, my Goddess!

OMG, yo.

She looked at me!

She's coming over!

I'm in love!

Miss, if you want to know
anything about Vanguard,

just ask me, I'm number one!
I'll teach you anything!

Say "sure" or "I'd love that" or just skip
straight past bein' friends and be my girlfriend!

You'll say yes, right?

Hey, Aichi!

Emi...

I wonder what kind of relationship they have?

I want to find out!

OK, yo...

Did you forget, Aichi? You promised
to do homework with me today.

I-I'm sorry, Emi. I was planning on coming
home right after buying a booster pack.

I don't care about your
excuses. Now come with me.

But I haven't bought it yet!

We're leaving, got it?

Aichi? Emi? They call each
other by first names?

They said they were doing
homework together, didn't they?

They were linking arms,
yo... Maybe they're...

Boyfriend and girlfriend?

I'm not even going to bother
correcting those idiots.

Whirlwind! Kamui, the Grade-School Fighter!

Here's your booster pack.

Thank you.

I hope there's a grade 3 in here.

Grade 1...

Next...

Grade 2.

Not many cards that seem
useful for your deck...

How unlucky can you get, Aichi?

Only one left.

All right! It's the Knight
of Frivolity, Gancelot!

The grade 3s really have a
different air to them, you know?

It's a Royal Paladin, like your deck.

You got lucky.

Yeah.

It's my first grade 3 card!

W-What? A paper bag?

K-Kamui?

Aichi Sendou, we fight!

Fight?

Didn't you know? When you challenge someone
to a fight, you have to slap them with a bag!

It's not a bag, you slap them with a glove!

I challenge you to a Vanguard Fight!

But you said you wouldn't fight me yesterday.

That was yesterday, and today is today!

I'll win, and get my Goddess!

Goddess?

Do it, Aichi! Get revenge for me!

We're best buds, right?

I don't really understand,
but if you'll fight me now...

My hand's full of grade 0s...

What'll I do?

Wait, you don't know about taking a redraw?

A redraw?

You really are a beginner...

Right before beginning, you can return any
unwanted cards to your deck and draw again.

Really?

I told you because I figured you didn't know.

You should have at least one grade 1, 2,
and 3 in your hand. That's basic strategy.

I see!

If you have them in your hand, it'll
be much easier to ride to higher grades.

Thank you for telling me!

Giving your opponent advice? How gallant, yo.

Your Goddess is gonna swoon all over you!

Then, I'll redraw three cards.

I will also redraw.

We can no longer redraw.

Here we go!

Right!

Stand up! Vanguard!

I can go first, right?

Yeah! I like going second.

I ride the Little Sage, Marron!

I can't attack on the first
turn, so I'm done.

That's right.

I ride the Screamin' and Dancin' Announcer, Shout!

While riding a Nova Grappler unit on
top of the same type, Battleraizer,

Battleraizer's ability is activated, and
it can be moved to a rear-guard circle.

It has that ability?

I call a Queen of Hearts and a Shining Lady!

The reason I like going second...
is because it lets me attack first!

I support the Queen of Hearts with
Battleraizer and attack Marron!

With Battleraizer's skill, power
during this battle is +3000!

I guard with Weapons Dealer Govannon.

I support Shout with Shining
Lady, and attack Marron!

I defend with the Yggdrasil Maiden, Elaine!

I check for a drive trigger...

No trigger... Thank goodness.

Was defending there really necessary?

My turn's over.

I'm returning the Battleraizer I
just used for support to the deck.

Your turn!

Stand up, my avatar!

Ride Blaster Blade!

I call Wingal and the Knight
of Silence, Gallatin!

Listen up. Attack me with all you got.

You can't take damage when you're the one
attacking. Not attacking would be your loss.

I attack Shout with Gallatin!

I don't defend.

Check for a damage trigger...

I support Blaster Blade with
Wingal, and attack Shout!

Using Wingal's ability, Blaster
Blade's power is +4000!

And I check for a drive trigger.

No trigger.

Check for a damage trigger.

Got a stand trigger.

When you get a Lucky Girl trigger, you can
add +5000 to any unit's power you like.

I apply this power to Shout.

Plus, you can stand one
of your rear-guard units!

Oh, no!

Huh? But, it's my turn right now, so...

Yeah! I can't attack.

Phew... That trigger was meaningless.

Dude, those are the basics!

Great timing!

I ride Hungry Dumpty!

Also, I move the Queen of Hearts.

And in its place I call the King of Swords.

Move?

I call Tough Boy and Genocide Jack!

Wow... Genocide Jack is only a grade


Yup! But it can only attack if
you pay a cost of 1 per turn.

Man, what a pain to use.

You don't get it, do you Loser?

Oh, yeah?

I pay the cost, and rev
Genocide Jack into high gear!

I support him with Tough Boy,
and attack Blaster Blade!

That's a total of 19000!

I don't want to deplete my hand any more...

If I could have just used
that Elaine from before...

Check for a damage trigger.

I support Hungry Dumpty with Shining
Lady, and attack Blaster Blade!

Check for a drive trigger.

Got it!

When Battleraizer activates a trigger, you
can stand up a unit in a rear-guard circle!

You don't mean...

Exactly! Genocide Jack!

Plus, you can add +5000 to any unit you like!

I also give this power to Genocide Jack!



I check for a damage trigger...

And now, I attack Blaster Blade with
the now-standing Genocide Jack!

Check for a damage trigger...

No trigger.

I support the King of Swords with the
Queen of Hearts and attack Blaster Blade!

When the King is supported by
the Queen, he gets +4000 power!

I see! That's why he moved
the Queen to the back!

Check for a damage trigger...



Kamui really is strong.

All I can do is attack him
with everything I have!

That's...

Here it comes.

Give me the power! The proud,
prideful white wings!

Ride!

Solitary Knight, Gancelot!

I activate Gancelot's counter blast! At
a cost of 2, I add 5000 to his power!

Plus, critical +1!

And, once more!

Supporting with Marron, I attack
Hungry Dumpty with Gallatin!

I have two cards in my hand, and
only one that I can use as a shield.

If I can defend against this
attack, I can still take 3 damage.

Gancelot's critical is 3 right now.

As long as he doesn't draw an Epona during
the twin drive trigger check, I should be okay.

I can't believe a guy like this
would have that kind of luck.

Okay!

I defend with Battleraizer!

I support Gancelot with Wingal, and attack!

Twin Drive! I check for drive triggers...

The first check...

Good.

Draw an Epona! Beat that damn brat!

The second drive trigger check...

Am I the only one who has the
super-lucky draw in times like these?

I check for a damage trigger 3 times.

First check.

Clay-doll Mechanic.

No trigger.

Second check, Clay-doll Mechanic.

Third check. Invincible.

No trigger.

Only a little more... My turn is over.

I stand, and draw!

Let's do this!

I ride Asura Kaiser!

Counter Blast activated!

I rev Genocide Jack into high gear!

With support from Tough Boy, I
attack Gancelot with Genocide Jack!

Check for a damage trigger.

Only one left...

I support the King of Swords with the
Queen of Hearts, and attack Gancelot!

I guard with Epona!

For the remainder, I intercept with Gallatin!

Intercept?

It's an ability that lets units in
the front row join in the defense.

I-I knew that! I was just
checking if you knew that!

Your attack won't go through now!

Next!

Asura Kaiser, supported by
Shining Lady, attacks Gancelot!

I guard with Gallatin and Unicorn!

Okay! You can do this!

If I can just get to my turn...

Not yet! Twin Drive! Check
for a drive trigger.

Check one.

Okay, just one more!

I'm... strong!

Grade 3? But, yeah! No trigger!

Yes... normally, that is.

But when I have Asura Kaiser
in my Vanguard circle,

I can stand up a card in a rear-guard circle!

No!

Secret technique, Hell Stand!

I attack Gancelot with Genocide Jack!

Check for a damage trigger...

No trigger.

You win.

Kamui's so strong!

The junior-high kids are just weak.

Always excellent, Kamui the Great!

That's 30 wins against junior-high kids, yo!

He's strong, but a different
kind than Kai or Misaki.

Being able to fight all different
kinds of people makes Vanguard fun!

Man, you suck, Aichi. Us
best buds? In your dreams...

I'm sorry...

First of all, fighting with a deck that only
has one grade 3 is weird to begin with.

What? He only had one grade 3?!

When he finishes that deck
he'll be dangerous...

But, for now...

Aichi Sendou!

You lost. Now keep your promise.

Yes, Kamui the Great!

No, I don't care about that!

I-I'll be taking the Goddess, got it?

Um, who do you mean, Goddess?

You know, the girl that
came to the shop yesterday.

Aichi!

Stay cool, Kamui the Great!

SK, yo!

You're here again, Aichi?

What about your homework?

Not yet.

For Pete's sake... Mom asked me to
make sure you did your homework.

Just a little while longer...

He's getting too close to my Goddess!

I guess it's hard to know which one
is the older sibling at this rate...

What did you just say?

They're brother and sister. As in, siblings.

As in...

Siblings?!

Brother!

Brother?

Brother Aichi!

No, wait...

Please, let me call you Honorable Brother!

W-What!?

Honorable Brother, may I
give you a shoulder rub?

Yeah, but I'm not your brother...

Don't say that, my dear Brother Aichi!

Don't go, Brother!

Honorable Brother! Elder Brother! Kinsman!

Brother Aichi, your little
sister is wonderful!

Yes! But she's very well organized,
so she gets angry at me every day.

She scolds you, right?

That would be awesome...

Anyway, you're really strong, Kamui.

I hope I can get more grade 3s soon and
be able to fight on your level, Kamui.

Next time: The Mysterious Card Shop!

Wow, the units are fighting before our eyes!

Brother, I've pictured it!

My future together with Miss Emi!
