Cardfight!! Vanguard

Rive Shindou, voiced by Makoto Furukawa
“Shinemon, do your best as you see fit!”

Mikuru Shindou, voiced by Yui Horie
“Declaring yourself the manager is fine and all, but you haven’t thought about the future, have you?”

Tatsuya Tachibana, voiced by Seiji Maeda
“Shinemon, you’re so cool!”

Mark Whiting, voiced by Daisuke Hyuga
“Leave this to me and my 18-year history as a ninja!”

Yes, that is mindbroken Misaki from the tragic accident. For those of you who complained they skimmed too quickly through V Misaki's backstory, well now you'll get more of it than you probably ever wanted. Prepare your tissues.

Misaki Tokura (and Assistacat), voiced by Hikaru Tono
“…you can stop now, that’s enough”

“Understood.”

Tonori Fujinami, voiced by Shinichiro Kamio
“Your advance stops here!”

Nanami Gonomi, voiced by Nami Miyaki
“Let’s see how strong you are”

Esuka Hibino, voiced by Fuchigami Mai
“Card Capital already belongs to me! Stop being so stubborn, and vacate it!”

Yes, you might be wondering about Esuka's last name. She is very likely related to Arte Hibino, better known as the human host of GASTILLE.

>new season takes place 10 years ago
>grade 5
how are they going to explain that?

Ruga Kaizu, voiced by Ryouta Takeuchi

Ryutarou Oyama, voiced by Ryotaro Okiayu

Yuichirou Kanzaki, voiced by Koyasu Takehito

Well if you didn't realize it by the OP, yes Yuichiro "WEAKNESS IS A SIN" Kanzaki is back. Don't worry his VA is still the same as Dio's. Although given how V has drastically changed the personalities of many characters from their original counterparts, it may very well be possible Kanzaki acts much differently in this series. Time will tell. Oh and Valeos' human host is here too.

Grade 5 is a Genesis(and Shin) exclusive mechanic so far and judging from the astral plane being visible on the season poster, it's going to be super plot relevant and not at all normal.

Yet another surprise, Shin has changed clans from the original series. He no longer sports Murakumo in favor for GENESIS.

Shinemon Nitta uses the Genesis clan, and his avatar is “Uranus”, a young aspirant that can open an “Astral Plane”, while “Valkerion” is a special Cray Elemental that can only exist in the “Astral Plane”.

Card Capital Team

As expected with his fascination with ninjas, Mark is using Nubatama, and his unit is “Akatsuki Hanzo”.
Rive was shown to use Tachikaze during the G arcs, but is using Nova Grappler this time, fighting alongside the unit “God Hand”.

The new character Tatsuya uses Angel Feather, and his unit is the remake of “Cosmo Healer, Ergodiel”.

(Rough translation of the names:
Mark’s Unit is something like “Fiend Demonic Stealth Dragon, Akatsuki Hanzo”
Rive’s Unit is something like “Battle Fist Dragon, God Hand Dragon”.)

Attached: 9.png (853x480, 716K)

It would make sense for Kanzaki to act differently. He didn't go full weakness is a sin until he lost to Ryuzu.

Esuka’s Team

Esuka uses Great Nature, with the talented fox “Isabelle” as her unit.
Nanami uses the remake of “Arboros Dragon” and Neo Nectar, while Tonori uses the remake of “Agravain” and Gold Paladin.

(Notes:
Esuka’s Ace is something like “Great Sage of Dark Shadows, Isabelle”
Nanami’s remake is “Arboros Dragon, Sephirot”
Tonori’s remake is “Knight of Fury, Agravain”, an old Megablast Unit for Gold Paladin.)

In case you wondering "Gee this all sounds neat, when does it start?" well it starts..... in a month. Yeah, this is a lot sooner than expected which cuts the current arc to just 14 episodes in total since there will be a special to shill Shinemon the week before it starts. Makes you wonder if they'll tie this arc into Shinemon in some weird way?

The new anime arc starts August 24th, 2019

This is the story of “Shinemon Nitta”, the future manager of Card Capital.

10 years before the reunion of Aichi Sendou and Toshiki Kai, the card shop run by the Tokura family “Card Capital” was going out of business.

Then came the attempt to take over the store by Esuka Hibino, the owner of a major card shop.

In order to protect Card Capital, Shinemon Nitta stands up as the “Self-proclaimed Manager”!

Despite a new arc and characters we're still sticking to in-house bands. Forget the days of PSYCHIC LOVER or JAM PROJECT or any other non-Bushiroad affiliated band. They'll probably never come back.

Forgot to mention the ED is Gift by Argonavis. The OP is Lead the Way by Aina Aiba, better known as the VA for Tokoha in G NEXT/Z.

2. CARD GAME NEWS

First up is “Uranus”! His two abilities are:

[CONT](VC):If your (VC) has five or more force markers, your back row center (RC) becomes an astral plane.
[AUTO](VC/RC):When placed, [COST][Soul-Blast 2], get an Imaginary Gift: Force, and put that marker on your (VC).

Put 5 Force markers on your vanguard circle

Your back row center rear-guard circle becomes an “Astral Plane” (put an astral plane marker)

You can now call “Valkerion” to the Astral Plane!

Attached: 14.png (853x480, 422K)

Yep, you read that right. GRADE 5 exists now.

“Valkerion”
– Grade 5 / Power 70000
– Part of your main deck of 50 cards
– Cannot be ridden
– Is retired when placed unless it was placed on an “Astral Plane”

“Astral Plane”
– “Astral Plane” is indicated with a marker (external aid like gift markers)
– Only Genesis can open an “Astral Plane”
– Unit on “Astral Plane” can attack
– Any unit other than “Valkerion” is retired when placed on an “Astral Plane”

It is worth noting that Valkerion is a Cray Elemental so technically he can be put into ANY deck. While only Genesis can summon him it may be possible other decks can too in different ways, or even that they get their own special Grade 5s. Who knows?

I'm getting to it. It will be the last part.

Includes
– Pre-constructed deck of 50 cards (16 types), inclusive of 4 holo cards (4 types)
– 5 Gift markers
– 1 Astral Plane marker

(Out in Japan on September 27th, 2019) For non-Asian territories probably a month later.

Sure feels weird seeing new characters on the upcoming booster packs. Oh and since the characters are shown on the cover, expect 4 new gift markers with characters on them.

Cardfight!! Vanguard Booster Pack V-BT07

Featured Clans
– Genesis
– Nova Grappler
– Nubatama

Total of 80 types + parallels

A reminder:

The 2018 product cycle was about establishing the 24 Clans, the 2019 product cycle is about expanding the concepts of those clans and bolstering existing strategies.

Let's see how Bushi approaches this because I am a bit skeptical at what the fate of the current clans are before all these new decks come in and possibly replace them.

Attached: 19.png (853x480, 134K)

I don't know how I should feel about this new gimmick. I remember getting excited for G unit but at the end it just made building decks stupidly expensive.
Well at least Grade 5 is in the main deck instead of its own thing.

And here is your product schedule for the majority of Year 2 barring the last two months, March and April of 2020.

September
Trial Deck – Genesis

October
Booster Pack – Genesis, Nova Grappler, Nubatama, Angel Feather

November

I think the goal is to ease Gfags into the idea of main deck strides before the inevitable G reboot. Genesis already has equip gauge, they didn't need to make up a new unique mechanic just for them.

So what the hell is going on? Are they ending this season after the cour ends to make room for this until 2020 or are they running at the same time?

>last arc
So what is it going to go Aichi>Shinemon for a year>Chrono? If that's the case then man bushi keeps fucking up at giving us a proper ending for the Aichi generation

This is the fourth arc of V. It's taking over the same timeslot and TV stations as the current one too so the current arc will end in 3 more episodes.

>Amazing fight, build up is amazing. Genuinely pumped for once, feeling like Kai might not job
>Double heal
>"Oh well that's fine, Kai is a jobber an anyways, was a fun match"
>then they start cheering for Kai to get his own double heal.
>All that hype and build up for the episode, it's gonna happen
>Damage check Ji Endo
I've been given hope and had it torn away from me. It's like meeting a girl at a bar, hitting it off, going to her place and just as you start going for it she goes "I have a boyfriend"

I feel cucked and backstabbed.

It's likely this is actually a long drawn out three generation story arc dealing with time and dimension fuckery. Expect a triple conclusion in Cardfight Vanguard: Chrono or Cardfight Vanguard: Final Chapter

I was a fool for thinking Bushi knew what they were doing with the ending to the Aichi gen. Maybe they'll get it after Shinemon but that seems doubtful. Would be weird to go back to Aichi after Shinemon ends. Here's hoping we get something before Chrono at least even if it's just a graduation special or something

>Pervs over his niece
>Goes after Chronos young aunt
Shin's a really weird guy.

Misaki is his cousin in V.

Shin is Misaki's cousin in the manga/V timeline so it's actually A-okay to perv over your 10 year younger cousin

>3 episodes left
>not the slightest hint at pic related

WHAT IS HIS ENDGAME?

Attached: evilezel.png (1085x612, 1.11M)

>Kai lost again
fuck this show. The reboot has been nothing but letdown after letdown.

Final episode cliffhanger. Main cast at the Tatsunagi mansion when a massive exposition/plot twist scene happens and ending midway through Nome/Takuto vs Aichi

But Kai has always been a jobber throughout history.

I don't know how people haven't realized this.
Even when he had an entire season with him as the protagonist, he lost matches to hype up people all the god damn time.
Kai was right during Reverse, he's way below Aichi and Ren, and needs help if he wants to get remotely close to them.

The weirdest part is they spent 4 episodes to exposition about how to play vanguard at the start of this mini-season in order to tell the new audience for the timeslot how to play but now they'll do it all over again for the Shin season. It's bizarre. Those 4 episodes would've been great to have for the tournament instead or whatever the deal ends up being with

>1 episode for Ren vs Aichi
>1 episode for Ibuki vs Ishida
>1 episode for Aichi vs Nome and ending
What a mess

>4 Episode How to Play Vanguard arc
>1 Kyou Episode
>1 Kai Episode
>THREE Ibuki Episodes
>4 Episode "Tournament"
>1 Episode conclusion
Honestly nobody could've predicted this would be how things go

It's more than he's content with losing all the time now which . Even in the small chances that Kai did lose in the original anime series it had a good reason for it. On the chance that he did lose a match, he would stand right back up and come back with a vengeance. Even during the Z arc Misaki mentioned how how Kai was the only one who would never stay down which is why characters like CBD loved him for it.
The only exception was the legion mate arc and that was only because they wanted to show him at his lowest point

Attached: kai winlose rate.png (1054x1060, 739K)

I get that.
It's just by definition, He Jobs a lot.
Most of his losses are to hype up/set-up the finale with very few exceptions.
It's gotten to the point where when I see a Kagero player Place 2nd or 3rd I always laugh "It's simply fate/Just like the Original"

It's a little tiresome, I love the character but going through these steps at the end of every season he's in is lame.

Kai was shirtless for the first time since he was created over 8 years ago, that’s pretty cool.

link joker hen QA kind of cool because Kai realized he was a jobbers so he went to LJ on purpose.

So what ware the chances we will get an ep with Kid!Kai using Blaster Blade back in the day?

So, quick question, when are they going to confirm that the reboot was Gear Chronicle's fault?

February at the end of Shin's season when Ryuzu pulls out G5 Gyze or already completed Demiurge

>3 episodes of this arc left
>Getting a shin season

The hell was the point of this arc again. What the hell was that crossroads crap people were talking about.
This is such a mess.

>used to love tournament arcs in the OG
>really looked forward to the V tournament
>first episode of it sucked because it was all just shit montages while Ibuki went through his shit
>can't even be bothered now because not only are the fights super ass, but because some genius at Bushiroad decided that we need to have anime preview images during the streams, telling us who wins and loses 4 weeks in advance.
>the season ends in like 3 episodes anyways.
This shit might actually clock in worse than Asia Circuit or even Legion Mate.

Attached: 1502651094441 2.jpg (756x772, 100K)

You don't get it. This is the crossroads. It's set between the Shin and Chrono seasons that actually matter

Who the fuck actually asked for a Shin season though?

The whole reason people were mad about Chrono gen and didn't want to jump on board was because the Aichi gen didn't get a proper ending. Now it's happening again but even worse because it's being replaced first by a season focused on the damn card shop manager.

To track people into dropping money on one last Ezel.

The Ibuki stuff was good but this mini season was ass, feels like they wrote it with the assumption it would be 2 cours at least but then got told Shin was starting mid season so we got fucked.

Some people wanted a Rive prequel once the new protag announcement was made. Also, Shin's been around since day one of the show so finally giving him his own story is really nice.
Even the flashback in stride gate showed that he was actually a pretty cool dude back in the day

So this season is ending already? That was it?
How are the current cards going to even work in a prequel? Won't it be weird for even stronger cards to shop in a series like 10 years in the past?

Just Gear Chronicle things
They explain all time and contradictory shit in this franchise

Two mystery sets are probably Chrono gen right? So around 36 episodes for Shin gen?

They likely are which means two close waves of Gear Chronicle support like what happened with Nova Grappler.
EB06 was Kamui and Beast Deities
EB07 was Miwa and Heroes

We're probably getting Ryuzu and Bind Time/Chronofang followed by Chrono and Chronojet

sounds like a worse version of what happened to GZ wen they decided to randomly drop the reboot on people

Ok but why
The meme rerum of the OG anime I get, but this?

>Stride Gate > Original Season 1 > Link Joker > Girs Crisis > G > Z > NEXT > Reboot/Reboot cont. > Legion Mate > Asia circuit > Vanguard Koshien
Honestly.

Weren't there Mini Van G episodes too? Will they FINALLY be uploaded?

The point was to wrap up the aftermath of the last arc. Get all the deleted people back to normal like Kai, give Ibuki more of a character, and help the club stay active and reunite with Kourin. Basically everything happened but the last part. The tournament is just a framing device to focus on specific relationships between certain characters.

Mini Van G was manga only if I remember. There's also Mini Van Hi! which is for the reboot

I think on paper this arc is a good idea. Just it got rushed and sacrificed for Shin. Should've been 2 cours at least like the other 2 arcs in this series

>Link joker, G and GZ that high

FTFY

I'd put the reboot Infront of season 1 of the original personally.

I think this season as is would have been fine if they just took out the tournament. The tournament being rushed gives the impression the season is rushed but they still hit the major narrative points they needed to. Well I still don’t know how exactly they’ll handle the Kourin part.

Yeah taking out the tournament entirely would've been for the best. Just have Kai fight Aichi to test his re-awakening and stage an Ishida fight with Ibuki. Then we'd be fine

I guess they decided to do it because A. It’s an easy way to bring characters together and B. It was part of the manga at the end and this is still a manga adaptation.

the tournament feels like Itou's personal attempt to piss off people who keep asking for tournaments in card game anime

Itou is also doing Shin so I guess don’t expect a tournament for that one either.

It’s not really his fault but more of the limitations of doing a monthly manga serialization. You can only put in so much in a 20 page chapter each month and a proper tournament arc would take a super long time. So, he decided to scrap that and focus on characterization and interactions that align with the themes he had in mind and he let the OG do the proper tournament arc while he was overseeing it.

Fair enough. I do wonder if they'll change up how the manga handled the finals because it looks ridiculous

They should stop VG and give us BF back since they clearly have no idea what they're doing.

>Bushiroad teams up with new animation studio
>expect Buddyfight anime to return now that they have the studio
>first two works are for new mobile game Lost Decade and new card game Rebirth For You
Never ever BFfags

It got canned for a reason. I guess it wasn’t popular enough or something. Or the card game is dying so they’re pushing collab sets like crazy. It is definitely not a norma occurrence.

G is actually a pretty fun watch going back to it. The comedic slice of life easily beat out the blandness that other arcs offered

You know considering how Ace was one of the best card game animes I watched, it can only go downhill from there.
You cant go fucking with yugas optimism.

G is super underrated. People need to understand serious VG arcs are nowhere near as good as comedic, slice of life stuff with good character interactions. It's one of my top seasons and just gets hate because of fights and coming off the coattails of the original.

I am referring to G s1 by the way

Well one of the reason why it was so heavily disliked was because how they skip 90% of the fights right into chrono raping someone.
I like G but they dropped the ball as a cardgame anime when its more like "We live our life around the cardgame without the cardgame". Thats until Kanzaki showed up and gave it more focus.

>I guess it wasn’t popular enough or something
It was one of the top selling TCG's in japan which is why it's so irritating. Bushiroad has this idiotic mindset where if it isn't at the very top then they'll just toss it out and start fresh instead of trying to fixing or expanding their current franchises

I heard sales were down from the OG BF era.

Sales were low but it was still within the top 10 highest selling properties and still turning a profit.
The issue was the animation studio being bought out by Sunrise

A reminder that you will only get 1 copy of the Draw PG reprint and it will not have a RRR version, so be a good goy and just buy a playset of the RR Draw PGs

>Expecting Itou to give a fuck about tournaments when he blatantly hates them

Trying to develop a Vanguard "culture" in the show was an interesting move and paid off somewhat but it definitely could've used less Chrono insta-winning on first stride

So what are our expectations from this now that we know the arc ends very soon and Shin prequel is coming.

>Dimension 12: Memory That is Neither Past nor Future

>It's the finals, between Miyaji Academy and Fukuhara. Aichi Sendou entrusts the last fight to Naoki Ishida, and faces off against Ren Suzugamori during the first match. While Ren enjoys the fight, his PSYqualia activates, showing him the destiny he had lost.

Still close to the other theories but nowhere near as hype something something GC fuckery

They would've won if they followed his idea

>losing to TCGs based around digimon collabs

Battle Spirits only does well during a Digimon or Kamen Rider collab. Most of the time it sells significantly worse than Buddyfight

Will there even be a glimpse of the best fight this tournament?

It's without a doubt the most boring so far. Absolutely no way to generate a discussion if we already know whats going to happen. And the few discussions/theories that were brought up have been basically thrown out the window now considering there's just 4 episodes left

>still pushing the "BF died for VG meme"

It wasn't Vanguards fault, but it's obvioius that Vanguard has higher priority over Buddyfight. Otherwise Vangaurd wouldn't have had two shows on tv the same time when Buddyfight went down

How would time fuckery explain stuff like Shin now being Misaki's cousin instead of uncle?

It's Gear Chronicle. They don't gotta explain shit.

Chronojet approves of cousin relations also

Just remember how Shin had strides during that flashback on G that was set before the original. I think he even used G Guardians that were explicity introduced as a new thing a few episodes before

>meme
Imagine thinking the reason they axed BF was anything other than to double production for VG and work on a new TCG while working towards a fusion of weiss and BF

Don't forget about the QULTY rushed shitshow that was BTCP

Maybe Shin just added strides and stuff to the flashbacks so it'd be easier for Chrono to grasp

It's almost like the company behind it and all of the show's CG was bought out

It's almost like it they were looking for a reason to sell it

The studio was constantly producing bombs outside of Buddyfight

Thanks for proving my point

You're welcome. Anyways a studio can't sustain itself entirely on Buddyfight and low grade ecchi trash

It's boring, not enough waifus ( and the main girls are terribly boring ) not enough interesting sources for conflict ( writer literally just blew their plot load on Kars making him too perfect )
Made the mistake of having a busted ability who can make anything happen when the plot is that there is nothing. Because it's magic the writer can bullshit anything they want into happening or bullshit anything they don't want, ruining suspension of disbelief either way.
Antagonists are too cartoon villain. It's even worse because there was a huge opportunity for character development and conflict there. Instead of antagonist outright killing, he could just do it when no one is watching and build suspense and horror, and actually begin addressing the obviously central plot aspect of "is playing the game good for us?". This is something that this show will need to focus on for longevity due to no apparent shounen powerlevels to drag out seasons, but the writer jumped the shark and rushed things so now it's going to seem like bullshit when the plot finally gets there.
CFV(2018) could have been good, but probably due to bushiroad pressuring it was rushed and lost it's chance.

I can't be the only one who prefers the older serious preview dialogue over these comedic ones for the reboot

Actually that's 5th grade in the elementary school, Chrono is 5 years younger than Aichi

When was the last time previews were serious

>not enough waifus
This unironically. Misaki is so masculine that she might as well be a boy, Kourin is really just there most of the time, and then the good ones like Yuri, Asuka and Suiko rarely show up at all. Aichi is the closest one to being top girl and it's unfortunate

Z. Right before the reboot

They differ, but Arc-V anime was a total flop in Japan while Manga remained consistently popular.

But I guess Arc-V ended with a time paradox/lopp(?) where yuzu is the mother of all the Yus?

Well that's one to end a manga

Based aster

I liked the episode overall. I've kinda given up on the cardfights but I wish the animation was more consistent. Even if the original series was pretty static, it still looked nice.

Honestly this

Its still 1/4 of the season

A full blown harem Vanguard is untapped potential

>people keep crying about wanting something new
>Shin gets announced
>no one cares

They can announce a completely separate spin off and nothing will change. This franchise is forever doomed to obscurity.

People care about Shin but the issue is that it's coming out too fast. We basically got a 3 weeks notice that the current run is rushed as fuck

If I wanted haremshit with a denser than a sack of bricks MC, then I'd read a romcom. That is part of the shit that ruined Gundam Build Fighters in the Try sequel, and harem is garbage as a whole.

I think part of the reason why Shin prequel isn't getting attention is because the Gfags wanted G and will now have to wait at least 6-7 months to get that, and differentfags know that it's going to tie into G as well as reusing G characters, like that shitty Narukami guy.

Everyone had their own expectations and/or wants and Shin threw all of that around. Nobody even considered a prequel show that also ends up tying into G

it had high quality morikawa scenes.
that alone saves it from being really bad

>that opinion on wanting shit not devolve into harem
My nigga

This. Shin will probably have a decent couple of threads then it will inevitably die again.

>I can't be the only one who prefers the older serious preview dialogue over these comedic ones for the reboot
I love them and think a lot of them should be actual episode dialogue, they make the characters feel more like friends

>Misaki is so masculine that she might as well be a boy
Only because they only let her wear the school uniform now. And I'm not even talking about just fanservice, she used to wear /fa/ as fuck clothes, which showed she has a more feminine side. I had the same problem for most of G where she dressed as your typical anime mom

>I had the same problem for most of G where she dressed as your typical anime mom

By anime standard Misaki is already an old hag by then

>What's the problem? Is the guy not adult Yuya?
Yuzu was hurled to the past (I think she was from there originally?) and married Yusho so she could give birth to Yuya (and the other 3)

The highlight of the arc was Kyou learning to get it up again

Kai’s was better

>Sabel Dragonewt bought out

Don’t tell me someone fell for the “into the soul” thing and thought it was part of the actual skill.

>no money left
Again. Vanguard like most long running anime has a staff rotation. This episode was sacrificed for the final 2 fights. Especially that director who really likes Ibuki that might as well be the ace of the show

Kyou's arc ended with him getting idol pussy though

She was only 20 in G, 22 in GZ. She still had a good 3 years before being a hag

Yes but then that would mean delaying a card that showed up in the anime for another month and while Ibuki is now Messiah'd up, Kai would be running around with the same old DOTG.

We'll at least have more fan theories to discuss

I just want to see Nome fight

>Prequel
>Rushed shit
>Powercreep
>Suprised epople dont care

The real problem is that the game has been shit since VBT03 and it's become apparent to everyone that Bushi didn't actually learn anything from the past 10 years. They're repeating the same mistakes that forced them to reboot the series in the first place.

EB08/VBT05 format is actually great and diverse with less of a 1st turn player advantage due to Gancelot existing

Said no one ever

It will easily have more to talk about than the reboot at least.

You could've just admitted that you haven't actually checked out VBT05 format.
Aqua Force just got a 1st place top at a VMC qualifier yesterday with Kagero(Blademaster + The Great) in second

>aqua force topping means going first advantage doesnt exist
the absolute state of apologists

Fucking Heroes topped a 52 person VMC, user.

I said less of, not that it's completely gone. Gancelot is active way faster going second and Gauntlet Buster will punish people investing on their 1st G3 turn.

will they retcon the card games again like they did in G when they shown stride G were already a thing before vanguard and G learned about them?

>android 4.1
Well shit I expected it to be 5.0 like DL

also

no need to retcon when the only issue is a grade 5 that's exclusive to Genesis, a clan that hasn't shown up in the reboot so far

>a clan that hasn't shown up in the reboot so far
How many steps ahead is Itou?
>inb4 we really get chronojet sinse we dont have GC in anime form yet

Itou claims he's thinking 2-3 steps ahead in terms of Vanguard content. Gotta say I like the idea to do a Shin series.

It's always done that.
>Misaki's parents having a tsukuyomi deck years before it should have come out
>Koutei having a functional d-police deck not only before BT04 when he was jobbing to Ren, but in the flashback where Yuri teaches him to play which is a pretty large amount of time because he was really shit.

Probably not. So far the V series' worldbuilding is a lot more consistent than past series. They're properly building the connection between original and G like they should have in the last series.

I think what this season was doing was showing the younger characters that will play a role in G while Shin will be about establishing the greater conflict that will have to be fully resolved in G since Chrono dealing with shit left sitting for years by someone else was all he did

>tfw Itou in charge of Shinemon

Shin is still a part of the V series so it's always possible that they come back to Aichi in a later arc. I still feel that the EX story might come into play somewhere or we'll see the appearance of Onimaru and Verno in Aichi's generation.

>misaki and ren
Now that's an odd ship, how fucking seething is Asaka?

>Like they should have
No, not really. It spoils the fun, knowing the characters antics before their series even starts.

I enjoyed being thrown into G and learning about everyone as the episodes went.

The best thing about this anime is the Bang Dream! songs

Well in this case it's better because you're getting a whole season dedicated to those characters rather than a couple episodes here and there. And it's not like the current arc has spoiled anything about the kind of people Shin and Mark were in the past, they barely did anything so far. It's more organized and better than juggling a cast that's too big like G's cast. And it's likely the older G characters won't be as prominent in the later arcs so this is their big time to shine and for us to learn as much about them as we can, so when they appear in smaller roles in later arcs we can understand their actions. It just works better this way.

I really want to see Kanzaki's downfall and Rive meeting Tokimi and Ryuzu

>It just works better this way

And that will only be judged after we're done with it all. So far, I don't have much hope in V.

V did a good amount of positives for its characters given the constraints

>ruined Kai,aichi,ibuki and Ren
>good amount of positives

I didn't watch V, how could they possibly fuck up Ren?

How did it ruin Ibuki? He's just as much of an autist in V as he was in G.

Instead of making him a reflection of aichi, they jsut moved the emotional center of that whole storyline to Kai, making their final showdown on S1 be a literally cuck battle that has no thematic cohesion sinse Kai lost
Renegade Ibuki was good, Gayon Ibuki and that whole arc didnt go anywhere with his anti VG autism

Ibuki realizing his hate was misdirected and only asshole vanguard players are the issue is taking it somewhere

the FUCK is Satoru Enishi doing in Boruto

Attached: 1563743396995.jpg (1280x720, 266K)

>ruined Kai

It made Kai 1000x better. He feels more human with a wide spectrum of emotions and a much more understandable arc with a backstory that complements it.

>Aichi
I wouldn't say it ruined Aichi either. OG Aichi was pretty good up until LM but both their development was simply done in a different direction. OG Aichi focused on becoming more confident through getting better at the game. V Aichi focused on simply playing the game as a way to interact with others and gain confidence to be more sociable and make friends. They are both fine.

>Ibuki
Neon Messiah was a worse version of the Zombie arc Ibuki. Zombie arc Ibuki had agency and was just being emotionally manipulated by Greion while Neon Messiah was more or less being mind controlled by Oksizz. The reasons for anti-VG autism are also understandable even if they're not executed the best. I can get behind the idea of playing a game for fun and hating it because others around you create a toxic competitive environment where all that matters are winners. I can also get behind that same environment isolating you from enjoying the game and external factors like drifting apart from good friends just making it harder to enjoy. I can also get behind taking a break from the game to do some other hobby like Karate, and then coming back to give it another chance but being turned off again. Those are all relatable scenarios. And then this arc really solidified the character and made him compelling to watch.

>Ren
OG Ren's backstory never made any sense. He was normal and then one day he magically got PSYqualia and went down the dark path. V Ren had the history of paternal abuse that made it much easier for him to go down said dark path once he acquired his PSYqualia. He is absolutely a reflection of Aichi. Both have the same power. One didn't fall to temptation and ended up with friends and the other did and ended up jaded and lonely. It's simple and cliche but it didn't ruin the character.

Attached: ALittleBeacon.png (1186x665, 417K)

Somehow not depressed enough

I love the beacon scene

The thing is, Kai really ie better in V
But they did him dirty by making his central conflict about surparssing the things that made Ren fell a thing that aichi did instead, that by proxy makes him a gigantic plot device in that arc.
Just thing about everyone that was in theat room on the finale, the only commob link is Kai, but aichi is the one that resolves it all
Ibuki did also get better, but far from soemthing I would call nice enough for him, like him beig mad that his friends dont talk to him anymore sinse they play thie game a lot then greion gives him a chance to change that would have been better

Kai's role in the story was to bring everyone together.
He is an unknowing arbiter of destiny, ensuring everyone gets to where they need to be

But at least they improved Kamui and Kyou

hey faggots, is Vanguard any good? I'll probably bite the bullet and marathon it until I'm in current season.
is it YGO tier? or is it rather like Duel Masters?

What do you define as Duel Masters tier? I think it's a good show with a few rough spots for trying to do things differently

It's kinda like Duel Masters in that it's a lot more comedic than serious but it doesn't go full on gag with jokes all the time nor is it too childish in its appeal. Unless DM does other things too. Also I know in DM it's a lot of CG battles with creatures and it's pretty crazy, Vanguard doesn't have any crazy monster battles like that.

I mean Duel Master was a gag series. it didn't take itself seriously. that kind of thing.

still sounds pretty fun. might give it a go then.

In that case it's more of a middle ground, not Yugioh bombastic and serious or Duel Masters gag heavy.
It's a fun show that's more about the spirit of the game and what it means to people

Remember to start with Cardfight Vanguard(2018) if you want to get caught up with what's going on

>RRR
>Implying it wouldn't be a VR and could be a colossal meme just like Messianic Lord

I'm now curious to what the two mystery clans will the Gear Chronicle EB has

MLB is a good card though. The issue is there’s barely enough Blasters to make the deck consistent. It’s a card that gets better as more Blasters get made.

Tachikaze and Murakumo for maximum time fuckery.

Royals and Genesis. Aichi, Chrono and Shin will all team up together to take down the bigger threat.

>It’s a card that gets better as more Blasters get made.

That's the problem since we might not get more Blasters in except maybe Axe and the Swordsman of Light Blasters are only useful for their name only (does nothing w/o an Alfred Vanguard)

>Even more Chronojet

Pls no

Itou created Chronojet so it will probably make a return since he’s basically controlling this whole series.

Chronojet will return, but not until the G reboot. The upcoming GC stuff will be Ryuzu focused. Probably with a G5 Demiurge as the VR.

No.

Yes.

It's so bad though

Deck gets broken if they get too many blasters. It's why they had to omit Blaster Sword even though it was in Aichi vs Naoki

Sacky =! Broken

Adding more Blasters makes it progressively less sacky

The deck is only missing a G1 balster and a G3, and condidering the card quality of blasters, having then wouldnt make the deck any less sacky

Sure, but any more than two and then you start getting into running 1-2 ofs for the name

Well then

Did he ever give a reason why Shin is now Misaki's cousin and not her uncle? That small detail really chaps my ass for whatever reason.

It's the most honest explanation

probably so the ages actually work. In the original anime Shin was 38. So he would be a 28 year old highschooler dating a 15 year old Mikuru.

>So he would be a 28 year old highschooler dating a 15 year old Mikuru.
Shin knows what's up.

Nah making him a regularly aged highschooler senior wanting to date a 14-15 year old middle schooler that's also his older friend's imouto is still pro

I'm pretty sure Rive is his teacher in this series? Are they considered friends though?

Rive's a bartender/host based on his design and they should still be friends

This build is too high IQ for me. I can understand being a gambler and cutting heals, but those chimeras are where I draw the line.

PM is shit. The only way you're winning a serious tournament is by high rolling and Humorous Chimera is one of their best cards when it works.

also helped they won worlds when they were still good

Narukami is actually underperforming despite the hype. Novas are surprisingly doing great even against Narukami.

This is just mind boggling. I think by the time the next list comes out the meta should be solidified. I expect narukami at or near the top. It’s absolutely destroying the locals scene from looking at Twitter.

The second week is normally when the format is done solidifying but we shall see
Nova Grappler actually has an easy answer to Narukami that requires little investment

What is that answer?

Riding Illuminal Dragon then calling Grantz to Accel 2 provides an easy 4 attack turn with little investment
>Swing Grantz at Vanguard or RG
>If they don't guard, +15k to Illuminal
>Swing with Illuminal. SB1 to restand Grantz
>If they guard Illuminal for 2 to pass or more, dump triggers(you run crits) on Grantz
>Swing at VG with Grantz
>If they guard, CB1 to give Grantz +10k and swing at the Vanguard again

It's pretty nice but you kind of have to hope they don't get any good damage triggers and you get some triggers to overcome that.

It requires some luck but even if that fails you can still use grantz to go after problem rearguards against a deck that doesn't have a lot of draw power

It's alright

Getting fucked by damage triggers is just part of playing Accel.

Illuminal can use its skill to let it hit over one damage trigger. It's at 2 damage triggers that you need triggers to hit.

That works too. I'm so used to the dub that I didn't recognize Chronos as Crowler

COTD:

Knight of authority Demna
AUTO: R: When it attacks a VG, and the attack did not hit, and a guardian was not called during that battle, [CB1]: opponent's VG takes 1 damage.

At least the characters get a good development, anyays I feel like cardfights are going to get more screentime because shin season is original and not a reboot.

Kulbau
ACT: R: [rest 2 RGs in the same column as this unit]: add a 5k power normal unit from drop zone to hand.

This is a good joke
This should've been a 5k

>manager on shin head
Cute!

>implying is not gonna be getsu

*tetsu

Tetsu x Emi is one of the weirdest things to come out of the original show

Old man and Loli is a staple of anime

Still weird for Vanguard

I still can't believe he won.
