01x34 - It's Summer! It's Camp! It's Vanguard!

[bunniefuu]

I want you to give me special training.

I-I want to get stronger...

I wanna do special training, too! Next
time, I promise I won't be a pain!

And I want our team to win next time!

Shin, me too.

Putting together a deck, making the most of
the units, staying a step ahead of the fight...

There's a lot that I want to study.

Now these are the faces that I want to see.

For kids like you...

Boom!

Team Q4's summer training camp!

...

...

...

...

...

Mornin'!

Morning.

You're here bright and early, Kamui.

There's still lots of time
before we're supposed to meet.

After all, the camp is so we can learn
how to annihilate that Ren rat, right?!

When I think about that,
I just can't stand still!

That's not entirely wrong,

but the purpose of this camp
isn't to defeat someone.

It's to make yourselves stronger,
to the best of your ability.

Watch out, Ren!

I'm never gonna let you
say "It was boring" again!

It's too hot in here...

It's Summer! It's Camp! It's Vanguard!

Good morning!

Morning!

You're early too, eh, Aichi?

Huh?

Good morning!

M-Miss Emi!

You're going too, Emi?

Uh-huh! I was worried about Aichi
staying over there by himself.

I told you I'm fine on my own!

What are you talking about?!

Who's the guy that won't get out
of bed unless I wake him up?!

E-Emi!

Well, it's true, isn't it?!

Miss Emi gets Aichi out of bed every day...?!

Kamui, it's morning! Wake up!

I wanna sleep some more...

Kamui, you'd sleep all day if you could!

I...

I'm so jealous of you, Brother!

What, Kamui?

Never mind...

You did talk to your mother
about it, I presume?

Yes!

Then there's no problem.

Let's go together, Emi!

Yay!

Together with Miss Emi...

That means...

Wait for me!

This way!

Emi!

Come on, wait up, I said!

Yo! Sorry to keep you waiting!

Hey, peeps!

What are you two here for?

The training camp, of course!

Do you understand the
meaning of "training camp"?

Naturally!

Card training camp can't start without
Card Capital's strongest fighter,

the great Katsumi Morikawa, right?

You're obviously not dressed to play cards.

Quit picking on us!

Besides, the more the merrier, right?

Words of wisdom. That's right.

There's plenty of room, so you
guys are more than welcome!

Yes!!

Well, of course.

I'll train everyone!

Right...

What's wrong, Aichi?

Nothing...

You're worried about Kai, aren't you?

Y-Yeah...

You shouldn't give that guy a second thought!

He doesn't come to events like this, does he?

I don't think he's into group activities...

But...

It's okay. Miwa is sure to bring him over.

Miwa?

Yes. And I've prepared bait, too.

Bait?

What's up, everyone?

I see the g*ng's all here.

Let go of me! I'm not gonna run away.

Kai!

I was positive he wouldn't show up!

Is what you told me really true?

We'll see...

Why, you...

This is all of us.

Um...





A total of eight, huh?

Count yourself, too!

I-I did that on purpose!

But either way, we can't all fit into
the manager's beat-up old van...

Sorry, but...

What?! I'm definitely going!

I'm absolutely going!

I'm going to the beach!

There's no need to worry.

See? I've prepared the perfect vehicle.

You had me going for a moment there...

Wait, you knew and were
just yanking my chain?!

Could be...

She was totally toying with him...

She may not look it, but even Misaki's
spirits are raised by summer camp.

It's hard to tell...

Everyone's in, right?!

Are your seat belts fastened?!

We're just waiting on you.

Then, everyone in unison...

Here we go!

Shut up!

The sea!

The mountains!

Vacation!

It's training camp.

Wow...

The fragrance of the tides!

Nothing says summer better than the beach!

This would be a perfect picture...

Well? Once in a while, this
kind of thing is nice, right?

Izaki! Aichi! Let's go for a swim first!

Wait a minute!

Oh, that's right.

Need to warm up before swimming...



No, not that.

We're staying at that cottage today,

so please carry the luggage there.

Let's do that later!

No, sir.

It's better to get nuisances out of the
way first, just like with homework.

Which reminds me, how is everyone's
summer vacation homework progressing?

Don't remind me of unpleasantries...

Mine's going according to plan!

Of course.

Manager, you're just like our teacher!

Well, let's get to it.

W-What is all this luggage?!

It looks like a big job. Want some help?

That'd be great...

Have I seen you people before somewhere...?

Team Caesar!

Manager, what is this?

They're actually the ones who
invited us to this training camp.

It may be rude to put it like this,

but you guys showed promise.

Despite not making it past
the elimination round,

you snatched one match away
from AL4 through ability alone,

a feat that Team Quadrifoglio
only shares with our team.

To be honest, I wanted this training
camp to also be our celebration,

but, unfortunately, it
didn't work out that way.

But thanks to that, we now have
the same aim, to defeat AL4.

Defeat AL4...

Sounds good to me! I'm all fired up!

Well? This is the optimum combination
for a training camp, don't you think?

They're ahead of Q4 when it
comes to total power as a team,

so I think you can learn a lot.

Yep!

You act carefree, but the wheels
are always turning, huh, Shin?

Surprisingly...

"Surprisingly" was uncalled for.

And call me "Manager", all right?

I was looking forward to meeting you.

Me too.

Huh? Kai, you knew that
they were going to be here?

Yeah. That's why I came.

I see. So they're the bait
that Manager mentioned.

Right.

At nationals, he didn't get the chance
to face off against Team Caesar,

so I told him he'd be
able to fight them here.

I get it...

You will fight?

You know it.

Toshiki Kai and Kenji Mitsusada...

This fight'll be one for the ages!

Pfft...

It's a match-up that wouldn't be out
of place at the national finals.

I can't wait!

If you're going to fight,
we've got the perfect place.

I'll lead the way, so follow me.

Miss Emi, let's go too.

Sure!

Hey, everyone! What about the sea?!

I'm coming back for sure later!

Wait for me, ocean!

Um, has everyone forgotten about the luggage?

What should I do with all this?

All the way up there...

Stand up, Vanguard!

Stand up the Vanguard!

It's boring just watching, isn't it?

Look!

Let's do it, too.

Sure!

Stand up, Vanguard!

I lose.

Seriously?! The leader
of Team Kaiser, beaten?!

That's what you might expect from Kai.

Looks like Team Caesar is no big deal...

Yeah, yeah.

I figured he'd say that.

In the 7th turn, maybe I should have
intercepted instead of guarding from my hand.

You knew what was in my hand
because of the trigger, right?

Yeah. It didn't help narrow
down any intelligence.

Your only problem was
maintaining the front line.

I see...

When I think about the cards
that were left in my deck,

I had an 80% chance or better of getting
the power that I needed on my next draw.

You forgot that your opponent
was using a Kagero deck.

I get it.

If I had considered the risk of
being driven off with a skill...

Whew...

I have no idea what they're talking about...

They're just flapping their gums!

A real man is quiet and uses grade 3 units!

Strongest

That's how the fight is won!

Yeah... Yeah, right, but...

You got it rough...

How's Aichi doing?

It's my turn.

I attack Gordon with Masked Police, Grander!

I activate Grander's skill.

Super Dimensional Robo, Daiyusha's
power is increased by +2000!

I guard with Gallatin!

Next, I use this Grander...

to attack Gordon with a
boost from Karenroid, Daisy!

With Grander's skill, Daiyusha's
power increases by another +2000!

No guard.

With a boost from Daisy,

Daiyusha attacks Gancelot!

Daiyusha's power exceeds 14000,

so I can activate its skill!

During battle, Daiyusha's
critical is given +1!

With 2 more damage, I'll lose,

but with Daisy's boost, the
total attack is 22000...

Gancelot's power is 9000.

Even if I guard with Epona, that
only brings it up to 19000...

I can't block it...

No guard.

Twin drive, first check...

Second check...

Army Penguin. Draw trigger.

I give Daiyusha +5000!

I draw...

I attack Gancelot!

Damage trigger check!

One more card...

No trigger.

Awww, he lost.

What do you think? Wanna
try and redeem yourself?

Y-Yes!

How many more trips...?

Again?!

That makes five losses in a row. That's
losing way too many times, and no mistake.

Sorry.

But there was nothing
wrong with your playing.

Can I see your deck for a minute?

Sure.

How is it?

Not bad.

The only thing...

The only thing?

Well, when you come right down to it,

in terms of a winning image,
it's kind of a lean deck.

Winning... image?

Sendou...

Do you have a clear image
of how you're going to

win with this deck?

Um... That, uh...

How I'm going to win...

If you can clearly imagine that,

you should be able to naturally understand
which cards are necessary and which aren't.

Oh...

All right! Next, the strongest fighter here,
the great Katsumi Morikawa, will play!

So! Who's cruisin' for a bruisin'?!

Okay, I'll play you.

Fine! But don't be surprised by the
great Morikawa's maximum-strength deck!

I can't wait...

Imagine how I'm going to win...

I-I think that's about enough for today!

About enough?

That was your 13th loss in a row!

O-Oh, shut up!

What does my horoscope
say about my luck today?

Um, "Your luck is on the skids, with
cloudy skies turning to a downpour."

Isn't that what you said
yesterday and the day before?

But that's what it really says!

Look! A "downpour"! "Rain"!
"Typhoon"! "Lightning"!

Well, let's put the cards away for a while.

We're finally going to the beach, huh?!

No.

You're all going to make dinner.

We're going to make it?

Dinner made by team effort is delicious!

I've never cooked before.

But I'm sure I can do it if I try!

I don't wanna eat that...

Don't say that! Come on, you can think that
I tricked you all the while you're making it.

Jeepers! Be careful not
to hurt yourself, Aichi!

Yeah. It slipped a little...

Peeling potatoes is hard, isn't it?

It's simple!

You just can't do it because
you never help out.

I don't know why, but I'm crying like a baby!

Me too!

For some reason, the tears won't stop!

It's because you're chopping onions...

Come to think of it, where's Kai?

Did you call me?

N-No...

I see. Fine, then.

I guess he's got an unexpected talent...

But you don't need to mince
vegetables for curry!

Fried light brown onions give
the roux a well-seasoned flavor.

E-Excuse the interruption...

Aren't they light brown enough?

Not yet.

Okay, I'm going to open it.

Thanks for the food!

Well? Delicious, isn't it?

Yes!

It's different than Mom's curry, but
it's still really good, right, Aichi?

Uh huh!

I wouldn't expect anything less
from curry that Miss Emi made!

It's scrumptious!

It could be worse...

Seconds!

Get it yourself.

A time like this does call for curry...

Everyone's got a smiling face.

The dishes are done.

And we had plenty of fights...

Dinner's finished...

We had watermelon for dessert...

All right! Now it's time for the beach!

What are you talking about?

It's pitch black.

What?!

sh**t!

Don't be so down in the dumps!
There's still tomorrow.

Besides, there's something else
that's fun to do at night.

Aichi, you're getting too rattled!

Really?! Those aren't fireworks you
do at night! Are you a little kid?!

Don't scare me!

And those are my fireworks!

I was looking forward to
lighting that 100-sh**ter!

Kinda underwhelming...

You're right...

That was a nice, hot
bath, wasn't it, Brother?

Yep!

Aichi, did you do a good
job washing your hair, too?

Y-Yeah, I washed it.

Really?

Relax, Miss Emi.

I made sure.

He even used conditioner!

No problem then.

Aichi! Let's have a pillow fight!

No, sir. Tomorrow's an early day.

And if you oversleep, you
won't have time to swim.

I-I see...

Hurry up and turn off the light, Aichi!

But don't make it pitch black!
Keep a little light on!

There's no end to that loudmouth!

Nagisa! Stop it, Nagisa!

Image of how I'm going to win...

You'll strain your eyes.

Manager...

I hope you'll get something
out of this training camp.

Yeah.

Maybe I need to give you
a little more help...

At any rate, we'll continue tomorrow.

It's great going through training
camp with everyone, you know?

Of course!

Making curry, lighting fireworks,
having a pillow fight before bed...

That's different from training camp!

Oh, I see! I forgot!

The beach! Swimming! Swimsuits!

Next time: Results of the Training Camp!

Hey, Morikawa, I tried reassembling my deck
according to the image in my head, but...

Huh? Morikawa?

It looks like he exhausted himself from
being overexcited and snoozed right off.

I'm swimming tomorrow...
