the american football club challenged the cardfight club?! i won the fight with them so all's well that ends well... ...but it means the student council doesn't think much of the cardfight club. have they accepted you guys as an official club? not yet. we need at least five people and right now we only have four... so you're one person short... but if you don't hurry up and get another person won't the student council challenge you again or plot against you?! yeah. except the condition for joining the club is beating one of the members...
kourin is so strong that even the ones who are her fans keep giving up one after another. and even if that can't be helped recently students aren't taking our invitation flyers. it seems word of the student council's disapproval has spread to the student body. they're probably worried about getting a black mark on their record or are keeping their distance because they wanna have a decent school life. there's only one thing to do! katsumi morikawa a man's man will transfer to your school and join the vanguard club! i told you before that your test scores make getting into that school impossible!
it's possible as long as i have love for kourin! if only i went to the same school... you're still in middle school... are you gonna give up? no. i'm definitely going to make the club official! welcome back misaki. i'm back. misaki! aichi...
let me ask you once more. won't you join the cardfight club? i want you in the club misaki. if it's the shop you're worried about there's no need. the sub-manager and i have things well in hand here. i mean "manager"! please misaki. let's fight again together. well i guess... huh?
kourin! cut it out! blocked! bl-yo! dang it! let go of me! if you'd gone ahead and grabbed her it'd be a crime! that's right! aichi you came here to invite her didn't you? yes.
a club isn't something you're persuaded to join. we don't need anybody who's not serious about it. you're saying i'm not serious?! are you saying you seriously want to join? i never said i wanted to join... misaki... oh boy... i can't think of anybody else but you misaki! please join the cardfight club!
sorry... poor guy. you rejected him again misaki? don't put it like that. i just refused to join the club. he's cute coming here every day to beg you. akari... you hate vanguard that much? that's not what it is... i figured.
if you weren't interested in this stuff you wouldn't bring it to class right? misaki you aren't straightforward with your feelings. "why did you invite that idol to join before me?!" "even though you've known me much longer than her!" that's not what i'm thinking! why does what she said bother me so much? the birth of the cardfight club?! physics prep room cardfight club (tentative) boss lady already has her hands full.
anyway it's her destiny to stand alone at the top. according to my investigation misaki works at the shop and that's it. i don't believe she's busy shaking students down for money. you have no clue how a big shot thinks shorty! "shorty" is not my name. it's komoi! i wonder why misaki won't join... if she really wanted to i'm sure she'd come to us. kourin... miyaji academy high school division student council office
so the cardfight club hasn't given up on getting more members eh? correct. thanks to the rumors we spread about the student council watching the club i believe there are no hopeful applicants left but there is still a remote chance. if we're going to cut off the head of the snake now would be the time before they get five members. do you have an idea? i do.
this is a message from the student council. clubs that wish to be granted official status must have at least five members and the student council must be notified of this by 6 p.m. today. if there is no notification the club will not be granted official status this year. i repeat... how 'bout i just grab a random person from over there and force 'em to sign up?! you do that and you're out of the club. i-i was only kiddin' of course! i'll ask misaki one more time...
boss lady... why did you invite me? um... because i wanted to play vanguard together with you misaki. when i thought about who i wanted to do it with you're the person who came to mind misaki! please! we're beggin' you boss lady! does it make you feel good having people bow to you?
hey you don't have to talk like that! i don't accept her. her joining out of sympathy only puts me in a bad mood. the purpose of the cardfight club is to fight seriously. we don't need anyone who isn't serious. i am serious! your "serious" and aichi's "serious" are different. different from ours too! wait! you don't need to chase after her. she's the problem.
but... if you still go after her then i'll quit. you would...? the cardfight club is looking for new members! cardfight club i seriously wanted to help aichi out of a jam... help...? for aichi's sake? no! drat! almost all the students've gone home already!
so you were still trying to get new members? hey would you give us just a little more time? the student council's decisions are absolute. if somebody hadn't said all that to misaki... did you say something? n-no nothing! looks like it's all over. the cardfight club's fifth member is me. b-but...
i thought everybody went home... that makes five people! you got no gripes do ya?! let's go! y-yes sir! come back the day before yesterday! they can't come back the day before yesterday. shut up you! misaki i knew you'd come! you're a busy girl with all your comings and goings.
your reason? if i don't like it i won't approve you. i'm not doing it for somebody else's sake or to help the club become official... i'm joining because i seriously want to play vanguard. for now you pass. yes! as a fan i'm thrilled to be in the same club as misaki a member of q4 the world's best vanguard team! and now we can keep on playin' vanguard!
first you need to take the club exam. if you don't beat a member of the club you can't become a member yourself. what?! oh come on... you're fighting... ...aichi! if you beat aichi i'll accept you as a member. stand up vanguard! wingal liberator!
aiming for the stars artemis! that's not oracle think tank is it? i felt like trying out various things. genesis... i've got a good feeling about this clan. misaki has kept up her studies in order to get stronger... i really do want to be in the same club as her. but if i... if you hold back... ...i'll never forgive you.
if you go easy on her i'll quit. this is what they call being caught between the tiger and the wolf huh? that's exactly what they look like! of course i'm going to give it all i've got. i want to participate in this club seriously! here i go. i ride little liberator marron! wingal moves. i ride bowstring of heaven and earth artemis! i look at the top seven cards of my deck
and if twilight hunter artemis is there i put her in my hand. call! and then i attack! bowstring of heaven and earth artemis attacks! stand up my avatar! i ride blaster blade liberator! call! gallatin! damage check. blaster blade!
check. phallon! this isn't just a fight between me and aichi... it's also a fight against you with my "seriousness" at stake. i think you already know this but aichi isn't so easy that you'll be able to beat him with lukewarm feelings... i ride twilight hunter artemis! broom witch callaway and bowstring of heaven and earth artemis! callaway attacks!
i guard with escrad! twilight hunter attacks! trigger check. critical trigger! i give all the effects to twilight hunter! i soulcharge with twilight hunter's skill. then since i've got a bowstring of heaven and earth in the soul i do it again. man! four cards into the soul all at once?! the soul is the key to misaki's clan genesis. after this i'm sure there'll be some big effect that uses the soul.
misaki you put together a deck like this... when it comes to fighting aichi i really have to throw everything i've got at him... enter the fray king of all knights! i ride... liberator of the round table alfred! gallatin attacks! i guard with witch of owls paprika! here i go. i'm looking forward to it.
break through the limit! alfred! limit break! there are four rear-guard units so that's +8000 power! alfred attacks with a boost from flare mane! flare mane's soulblast! when it boosts alfred he gets +5000 power! twin drive check. no trigger. heal trigger! i give the power to phallon and heal 1 damage point.
phallon attacks! 3 to 5... what's going to happen next? now i'll show them how serious i am... i'll show them the true power of genesis! the heat of silent souls like stars... ...and deep intense emotions like the sea... ...are for eternity! i ride eternal goddess iwanagahime! surpass the limits and open up a new world!
soulblast! take the tune of unchanging life and vanish beyond a time that's longer than infinity! everlasting vanish! i retire all of my opponent's front row rear-guards from the field! now you can't intercept! whoa... i call witch of wolves saffron and battle maiden kukurihime! saffron attacks!
i guard with gwydion! iwanagahime attacks with a boost from bowstring of heaven and earth! twin drive! i got a critical trigger! i give the power to callaway and the extra critical to iwanagahime. critical trigger! i give all of the effects to alfred! i attack with the boosted callaway! i guard with elixir liberator!
turn end. those two look like they're having a good time. it's like they don't even care whether they win or lose. seriousness brings out the opponent's seriousness. they heighten each other. it's a passionate fight between the two of them that no one can get in the middle of! alfred's especial counterblast! i turn over two liberators in the damage zone look at the top card of my deck and superior call escrad!
one more especial counterblast! superior call gancelot! he brought back the front line that misaki retired without even using his hand! incredible... 1 more damage... show me how serious you can get. gancelot attacks callaway! in order to ensure his win he started by retiring a unit that can intercept! flare mane's soulblast! +5000 power!
also because of the limit break's effect alfred gets +8000 power this turn too! this is the power of alfred's bond! i guard with goddess of self-sacrifice kushinada! perfect guard?! i've got more! escrad attacks with a boost from wingal! i guard with kukurihime! turn end...
she made it through with no damage... if misaki could protect herself... then so can i! not while i'm around! pure battle maiden cut through the darkness with your moonlit bow. i ride battle deity of the night artemis! battle deity of the night! a grade 3 on top of a grade 3! i call paprika. kukurihime's skill.
i put her in the soul and give +3000 power to saffron. now there are three units in the soul. paprika attacks! when she attacks if there's a genesis unit on the field that has a limit break ability she gets +3000 power! guard! i attack with the boosted battle deity of the night! battle deity of the night's limit break increases units in the hand while attacking! that ain't all!
your blue rays control the tide and shine a light on life... blue moon rising! battle deity of the night receives +5000 power! drive trigger check... i give the power to battle deity of the night and heal 1 damage point! damage trigger check! critical trigger... i lose. this is me being serious.
jeez she's strong... she beat aichi! that's the misaki i know! misaki welcome to the cardfight club. you look happier than when i joined the club. come on let's go to the student council office. to get their approval to make this club official! yeah! i can't believe they have five members. president...
what is it? i have a good plan. cardfight club application for authorization... permission denied. i can't give your cardfight club the official seal of approval. what are you talkin' about?! we got five people! it's because you don't have a faculty advisor. faculty advisor? there's a rule that states that official status can only be granted
if there's a faculty advisor. oh no... isn't there anything that can be done?! it is possible. how?! create a track record. if you accomplish outstanding results you'll be treated as a special case and recognized as a club. what should we do? fight against a powerful high school team of my choice and achieve victory.
we'll do it. please let us do it! our vanguard club has a new challenger. you really are a great fighter misaki! no i owe it to your seriousness aichi. again let's both give a boost to the cardfight club. i'm game. i-i'm looking forward to it... boss lady. all right! now our club can be made official! next time: first match! miyaji academy vs. hitsue high school!
faculty advisor matches outside of school... we're off to a rocky start but we won't lose! you're getting a fighter's face aichi. i'm fired up!
