If he collapses from a card game you don’t want him doing sports…

Some dangerous looking eyes

Cardfight! Vanguard – Episode 14

Misaki’s not amused

And that’s supposed to be your angel side?

Some shady gang there…

Mega glomp!

Doesn’t he remind you of someone from beyblade?

Homophobic?

With the tournament over, both Kamui and Aichi want to become stronger after losing. So, much to Misaki’s dismay, the two head to other cardshops to fight. Kamui knows one with strong players and ‘team handsome’ who was in the nationals last year, but then remembers that a certain ‘she’ might be there. In the end he decides to take Aichi there anyway.

They arrive at the shop, which looks like an old west kinda bar with a huge picture of pirate ships on the outside. They go in and meet up with team handsome, which is a team they need to beat in this year’s regionals.

It seems that Kamui’s refused to join their team many times and he says it’s because he wants to play against the best not join them. But it appears that’s not quite right as a screaming little girl, called Nagisa runs into the shop and glomps Kamui into the wall. Nagisa happens to be the team captain, Gouki’s sister. And even though Kamui makes it clear that he doesn’t like her she pretends to hear nothing.

Then somehow they think that Kamui likes Aichi, ‘in that way’… so Gouki thinks that if Kamui can respect Aichi enough to call him ‘brother’ he must be a very good vanguard fighter.  So they fight and if Aichi loses Nagisa gets Kamui…

So it begins. First move goes to Aichi and he pulls a standard first move by riding a grade 1, moving his old grade 0 to rear guard and then calls a third monster with the grade 0’s ability.

Gouki also makes a standard first move and rides a grade 1, moves grade 0 to rear guard and calls another monster. He attacks twice and deals two damage but Aichi draws a heal trigger recovering one damage. 0-1.

Aichi rides Blaster Blade, and calls forth 3 more monsters to fill his field. He attacks thrice and only one attack is guarded. With the guard’s ability Gouki searches his deck for a, Captain Nightmist and moves it to the drop zone. 2-1.

Gouki now rides a second Captain Nightmist and activate its ability which is if it’s on the vanguard circle and there’s another Captain Nightmist in the graveyard then it gains 3k power. But he doesn’t attack…

Aichi rides Alfred, replaces one rear guard with a stronger one and attacks. First attack gets through but Gouki draws a trigger and increases Nightmist’s power by 5k. Alfred goes, no trigger, so 1 damage. Third attack is guarded. 4-1.

Gouki rides his grade 3, Monster Frank and revives Nightmist at the cost of 1. He attacks with his vanguard boosting its power with rear guard and ability, giving it 20k power and deals 1 damage. Second attack also succeeds and third is blocked. 4-5…? What? When did this happen?

Aichi now launches a full assault. First attack succeeds, Alfred’s attack is nullified and last is guarded. 5-5.

Gouki launches his full attack. First attack is guarded, and vanguard attack is guarded by 2 monsters lowering it to 5k power but he draws a critical trigger meaning it’s back to 10k, so Aichi’s only chance is on his damage trigger. And as non cliché luck of the draw goes, he loses.

Gouki seems content that after having only seen half of Card Capital’s team and only played their worst player, they’ve got nothing to worry about.
