01x19 - Battle! Nova Grappler!

[bunniefuu]

I wanna fight against you, no holds barred!

That's how I'll settle my old score with you.

Uh, I think you wanna say, "pay you back".

I go first..

Once I am your foe, I'm gonna take
you down with all I've got!

These two teams made it...

to the regional tournament finals!

Making their debut, Team Quadrafolio!

Q4, for short!

Against them is the sure
bet that you all know!

Team Handsome!

Which one will win?!

Gouki, there's gonna be no holding back!

I'm your opponent.

Nagisa?!

No way!

If I win, we're getting married, okay?!

The regional tournament finals!

In the first match, Kamui Katsuragi
versus Nagisa Daimonji!

What kind of fight will they give us?!

I'm sure these fighters, who have given
us wonderful Vanguard fights so far...

are eagerly anticipating
feeding those brain cells now!

Of course, we spectators should look
forward to an entertaining fight...

and a fair fight that leaves no regrets!

Let's image!

Let's Vanguard!

Nagisa is going first...?

Why...?

It's nothing to be surprised about.

Even if a person hasn't fought up until now,

all they have to do is register as
a player to be in the competition.

It was the same with Tokura.

I see...

Gouki, we made a promise between
men to fight each other!

What is this?!

True enough...

But more important to me than being
a man is being Nagisa's big brother.

I can't refuse a request from my cute sister.

Go ahead and laugh.

But in the end, the winner's gonna be...

love!

That's right! Love!

I don't care what you say!

Excuse me, can we start the match...?

Showdown! Nova Grappler

In the first place, Nagisa, do you
even know how to do a Vanguard fight?!

Kamui, I'm more interested in watching
you play Vanguard than playing myself!

In fact, I've never seen you fight before!

I learned!

It's the power of love.

Hear this story that brings tears to the
eyes of both teller and listeners...

Since the day you swore you'd beat Team
Handsome and stopped comin' in to the card shop...

Nagisa's been sufferin' from heartache!

This is how big brother Gouki sees her!

She's even cuter through his eyes, ka-boom!

Don't interrupt!

And so...

One day, Nagisa asked me to teach
her how to do a Vanguard fight.

She thought, "If I can do a Vanguard
fight, then maybe I can be with Kamui!"

Struck by her pluck...

I put Nagisa through a
strict training regimen.

"If I get strong, maybe
Kamui will be pleased!"

Ever moving forward, the power of love
made Nagisa stronger and stronger!

And finally, she progressed to the point of
capturing a spot as a Team Handsome regular!

Regular?!

I wanted to cheer you on here, Kamui,
so Hiroshi's been filling in for me!

In other words, Team Handsome made it
to the finals short one regular member?

That girl's a regular!

She must be pretty strong...

Although I'm sure she's inferior
to the Mighty Morikawa!

I think you should save that kind of
line until you're standing down there...

Exactly!

That's what I love about
you, your extreme optimism!

If Gouki is going along with it,
then she must have the ability...

Kamui, it's time for a showdown!

Like I said before, if I
win, we're getting married!

I'm not agreeing to that!

Don't you have confidence in yourself?

Miss Emi...

Emi...

Darling!

That's right! I'm gonna marry Miss Emi!

All right! I accept your challenge!

But if I win, you give up on me!

I kind of feel sick to my stomach...

I know what you mean!

Maybe half the men in this
hall feel the same way...

You're on!

With their lives on the line, those two
are about to have a Vanguard fight!

PW, yo!

Please win, oh Great Kamui!

Let the first match begin!

Stand up, Vanguard!

Battleriser?!

You're not using the same
Granblue deck as Gouki?!

I wanted to use the same as you, Kamui!

Anyway, here I go!

I ride Tough Boy!

I use Battleriser's skill
to move to the rear-guard!

That's the end of my turn.

Here I go, Kamui!

I ride Queen of Hearts!

She even sounds like Kamui!

Maybe those sweethearts are fighting
and broke up just for this match...

Hear that?

Wrong! Nagisa and I are not sweethearts!

Pipe down!

The one that I love is...

E...Em...you...

Emu?

I attack with my Queen,
boosted by Battleriser!

Battleriser's skill adds +3000
to the power of the Queen!

Drive trigger check!

Yes! Critical trigger!

That's +1 damage!

Damage trigger check!

One...

Two...

After boosting, Battleriser
returns to the deck.

It seems like you have a good
understanding of the game.

Of course! It's the power of love!

It's my turn!

I ride Genocide Jack!

Battleriser moves forward!

I call Cray Soldier!

And then I call the King
of Swords and Shining Lady!

Here I go, Counter...

...blast!

Right?

Yeesh! I'm no match for her
when it comes to being a pest!

Anyway...

Genocide Jack is revved up to full speed!

I attack with my king!

Damage trigger check!

I attack with Genocide Jack,
boosted by Shining Lady!

And also...

It's being boosted by a
fellow Nova Grappler...

so another +5000 is added
to Genocide Jack's power!

That's my line...

Drive trigger check!

Damage trigger check!

I attack with Battleriser,
boosted by Cray Soldier!

Damage trigger check!

Yes! Heal trigger!



Not bad, not bad...

Lucky me, right, Kamui?!

If I hadn't gotten that heal
trigger, it would've been 3 damage!

Vanguard fights are about power!

I love when you talk like that, Kamui!

But really, Vanguard fights are
about a strategy called "love"!

Whatever, hurry up and go!

So you're in a hurry to
get married too, right?!

Okay!

I think you may have made enemies
of half the people in this hall!

Good luck, little brat!

Here I go!

I ride Magician Girl Kirara!

A different unit than Genocide
Jack has come into play!

I call Kirara, Tough Boy and Shining Lady!

Here I go!

Kirara, boosted by Shining Lady,
attacks your Genocide Jack!

Drive trigger check!

Damage trigger check!

My attack succeeded!

It's not worth celebrating over!

After all, when Kirara's attack
hits, I can do a Counterblast.

Counterblast!

I draw one card from the deck!

Seems like you've studied a lot...

That's the power of love!

Let's get married, okay, Kamui?!

Never!

I love...

You and I were made for each other, Kamui!

What is it about me that
you're so hung up on?!

I've never done anything for you!

Don't you remember?

You saved me!

That's right. It was an apple.

I ate a red apple.

But then, it got caught in my throat...

I passed out!

My brother and his friends
couldn't do anything but cry...

Then, you happened to be passing by, Kamui!

...did something like that take place?

After finding out what happened...

you gently put your arms around
me, helped me up, and kissed me!

And then...

with the poison apple removed, I woke up...

Wait a second!!

That's Snow White!

And quit it with the pirate fairies, too!

Have you forgotten our kiss?

That never happened, especially the kiss!

Prince Kamui!

Accept Princess Nagisa's love!

Hear! Hear!

Clam it, fairy trio! You
know how I really feel!

How he really feels...?

Nagisa really loves Kamui, huh?

I may be a little envious!

Hear that?

Miss Emi is the one that I love...

Nagisa... I'm gonna kick your butt!

No matter what, I'm gonna win this match!

This is the Vanguard championship
regional tournament hall!

At this tournament, a great number
of awesome fights have played out,

but we're down to the final fight!

Team Handsome versus Team Q4!

In the first match, it's Kamui
Katsuragi versus Nagisa Daimonji!

And so far, they're about neck and neck!

It's my turn!

I ride Mr. Invincible!

Soulcharge!

When Invincible is the Vanguard, I send
the top card from my deck to my Soul,

then unflip one card from my Damage Zone!

Battleriser exits the field!

In exchange, I call King of Sword!

And then I call Tough Boy!

I attack your Kirara with my
King, boosted by Cray Soldier!

I guard with Shining Lady!

In that case, I attack with
Invincible, boosted by Shining Lady!

Twin drive! First...

Second!

Damage trigger check!

Next...

I attack with my King, boosted by Tough Boy!

Damage trigger check!

They each have 4 damage.

They're both playing pretty well.

I mean, not at my level, but...

That's right. You are the King
of Vanguard, right, Lose-umi?

Oh! That sounds pretty cool...

Hey! My name's Katsumi!

I'm gonna marry you, Kamui!

I ride Invincible!

The same as me again?!

Soulcharge!

I call Hungry Dumpty!

With that card's skill, I unflip
one card from the Damage Zone!

All of the cards in the
Damage Zone are face up...

I call Lucky Girl!

I attack with Kirara, boosted by Tough Boy!

Damage trigger check!

Stand trigger!

I give the power to Invincible!

My King stands!

Kirara's Counterblast!

If he takes 1 more damage...

Kamui the Great...

Nagisa is playing incredibly well!

But so is Kamui...

That's right. It's a nice fight, Kamui.

Stay cool.

I attack with Invincible,
boosted by Shining Lady!

I guard with Ring Girl Kirara!

Just a little more, Nagisa!

Twin drive, first...

Second...

Critical trigger!

I give the power and the +1
critical to Hungry Dumpty!

Their emotions are affecting
the way they play.

Even though they're equally
matched as Cardfighters...

Yeah. Katsuragi's not making
any mistakes either.

I attack with Hungry Dumpty,
boosted by Lucky Girl!

I guard with Hungry Dumpty!

Yes! He protected me!

Yeahhh!

Close!

Go for it, Nagisa! Love is power!

M-Morikawa...

Good luck, Kamui.

I stand and draw.

There it is!

With a mane of courage and a roar of justice,

I ride the King of the Lions, Lion Heat!

I'm gonna win it this turn!

Brace yourself, Nagisa!

With a boost from my Cray Soldier,

my King attacks your Invincible!

You're the one who should
brace yourself, Kamui!

I guard with Shining Lady!

I'm not done yet!

I attack with Lion Heat,
boosted by Shining Lady!

We're getting married!

I guard with Twin Blader!

His shield is...

Zero!

I activate Twin Blader's skill!

If I discard one Nova Grappler from my hand,

I won't take any damage for this attack!

I forgot about that skill...

Twin drive, first...

Second...

Critical trigger!

I give the power and the +1 critical
to my King, who hasn't attacked yet!

If his attack succeeds, I'll beat her!

It's a "Goodbye, Wedding" attack
from my King, boosted by Tough Boy!

No matter what you say,
we're getting married!

I guard with Twin Blader!

I activate his skill!

She blocked it...

I don't believe it...

There's gonna be a wedding, Kamui!

Th-The fight's not over yet!

I stand and draw!

Yesss!

With a mane of courage and a roar of justice,

I ride the King of the Lions, Lion Heat!

I wanna have our wedding
at a beautiful castle!

I attack with Kirara, boosted by Tough Boy!

I ain't goin' to any castle!

I guard with Shining Lady!

I'm gonna wear a frilly wedding dress!

I attack with Hungry Dumpty,
boosted by Lucky Girl!

I ain't wearin' any dress!

I guard with Queen of Hearts!

Let's make a vow to love
each other for eternity!

I attack with Lion Heat,
boosted by Shining Lady!

I ain't vowin' anything!

I intercept with two King of Swords!

They'll protect me, as long
as she doesn't draw a trigger!

Rice shower!

Twin drive, first...

Yes!

Virgin road!

Second!

Wedding cake!

Stand trigger!

I give the power to Lion
Heat and Kirara stands!

N-No way am I gettin' married...

Everything's on this!

Damage trigger check!

I did it! Heal trigger!

I add +5000 to the power of Lion Heat!

And then I heal 1 point of damage!

Yes!

Now, even if Kirara attacks once more,
she won't get past Lion Heat...

Oh, no! There's no escape, Kamui!

When Lion Heat attacks a Vanguard,
you can do a Counterblast.

I totally forgot!

Tough Boy stands!

Now, the exchange of rings!

I attack with Kirara, boosted by Tough Boy!

Wedding hold!

This isn't quite what I had in mind...

But maybe this isn't so bad...

Miss Emi?

Nagisa Daimonji is the
winner of the first match!

Goal in!

You're strong and cute, Nagisa!

She did it!

Ka-booom!

Kamui...

He had the best possible defense...

But he couldn't beat Nagisa's
luck with pulling triggers.

Thank you for everything, Goddess.

GB... Goodbye.

I learned something important here today.

Love is something you fight for!

Kourin!!

Let's have a Vanguard fight and goal in!

Don't be so hyper!

Kourin, some weirdo is calling your name.

Him again?!

Kourin!

Morikawa, you're embarrassing me...

This looks like it could get interesting...

I lost...

My marriage to Miss Emi is...

Kamui...

Like you promised, let's get married.

Come on, let's seal it with a kiss!

Congratulations, my little brother!

No way!

Kamui!

Noooooo!

Kamui!

Ah, youth, ka-booom!

Looks like they're having fun!

The best fights are the fun ones.

Right? Let's have a fun fight!

Yeah...

I'm responsible for whether
we win or lose...?

Please win, Brother!

Your future and mine are
riding on this match!

Be that as it may,

until this last match, you and Kai kept
winning, so I don't know if I'm mentally prepared...

Yeah, you're right. Forget what I said.

I was just talking nonsense.
A dream! Silliness!

Anyway, Kai's fight is before mine...

Next time: Hidden Message!

Huh? Kai wants to tell me something.

Look at my fight and picture it!
