I had another thought... there's 7 fated ones... the wish needed 5 losses... in the Oath Under Snow Illya movie, Shiro wished on the class cards including the extra that was a fake and the original wasn't used in the way it was supposed to be. If Akina wins, could the design force take the necessary stuff from the Fated one of time to do the miracle? Or would that be too much of a plot twist?

[@cryformydreams]

Suo really just said "Legalize nuclear bomb." Jesus Christ...

[@BushidoRoad]

Poor Hikari. I can only imagine how she must have felt not knowing what became of her brother for three years, desperately hoping he was still alive, only to learn that he died after Suo won the Fated Clash. And that even after she told Akina everything, he still refused to drop out with the possibility that he could still cure his Hikari’s illness. We also learn why Akina is so protective of her since he blames himself for her feeling ill during a camping trip. So Suo actually did win the Fated Clash, only for his wish to inadvertently kill him, Akina, and the other participants, aside from Taizou. The stakes have definitely been raised for this final fight. On another note, it’s interesting that the fox mask Hikari wore wasn’t just an ascetic choice to hide her identity, but it served as her means of traveling to the past. It’s a nice detail and it makes sense why she wouldn’t just tell Akina what happened. Knowing that his little sister time traveled after winning her Fated Class would only add more incentive to winning his if it meant curing his sister.

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

Imagine how much restraint she had to use to just not tell him everything back then. Maybe she was even crying behind the mask. It is really sad that, she trying to tell him everything (maybe even do it in front of her past self to further convince them), would just make him think "So she can still survive even with her illness... That means she can get cured! I will do it!" The only surprising thing is that she didn't challenge Suo herself

[@giancarlourielmarpa6037]

Holy moly as the eldest of 3 siblings my heart breaks seeing Hikari struggles so very bad to search for her brother despite her illness. Hate seeing that if that happens to my siblings God forbid. And wow almost everyone predict that Akina wins but in exchange for his own life but no. Suo wins and legit wishes for... nothing. Which Blangdmire interpreted killing everyone in 100km. I wanna know more about the sibling tho especially the camping incident which probably is the next episode.

[@ZenithintheMaking]

Fr! But ngl Suo made me angry even though he's not in this episode. Like WHY ARE YOU HERE! JUST TO KILL OFF THESE PEOPLE?! YOU HAVE *ZERO* PURPOSE!!😡😂 And this is just really increase my love for Hikari bro. It's like life is just giving her scraps constantly, but she puts on a smile to act like it's not a big deal. But the thing that what's too much was losing her loving brother. And having to go through that for years (with a mom who knows where, and a dad who is just at work 😑) Akina and Hikari's relationship is a big centerpiece to this series. In the next episode we'll find out just why *does* Akina want to help her so badly. Like maybe out of guilt?😣

[@jremydadude6238]

@@ZenithintheMaking Tbf, you can't say Suo's wrong lol. Since day 1 we saw of him he's always been Zero here, void there but for good reason tho. I saw a theory somewhere that Blangdmire himself is currently influencing Suo ala Diffiride so maybe Suo's not 100% in control of himself.

@@ZenithintheMaking I think it was mentioned that their parents was divorced. Could be wrong on that tho. I'm guessing Hikari always had a weak constitution but Akina either didn't know about it or thought it wasn't a big deal. So he ended up dragging Hikari to some highly physical activities and caused her to get a heartstroke or something.

Yo shoutout to Taizo for probably housing future Hikari. The Fated Clash probably took over the span of days, and we can't have our girl being homeless. And damn this made me feel pain for Hikari, not knowing what happened to Akina and being ignored by the public for help for 3 years, that's messed up and real. I'm fairly certain that Akina will win, but how is questionable given the gap in skill here. The bigger problem is Blangdmire, the only counters I can think of are Blitz Orders or holding onto your OT and praying you got a persona ride next turn. There is one other option, but I'm fairly certain keter can't do this, and that's mess with Suo's soul or bind zone, but that'd just be buying time.

Imagine Suo being convinced of using his wish to heal Present Hikari's illness. That would make for a good plot twist about how to resolve this plot

[@BushidoRoad]

Not necessarily. The chances of Akina defeating Suo went up since he developed his no heal/sentinel strategy to give him a shot at defeating Taizou, which he likely didn’t do in Hikari’s timeline since Taizou didn’t compete in the Fated Clash.

[@HikaruKiroe]

I mean it just make sense that Suo beat Akina, since blangdmire really just say "no" to the razael's divine skill. But it also show that the wish they got from winning the fated clash can be misunderstood just like the wish Aladdin can make to the lamp genie, since when i think how Suo says he wants nothing, it just meant that no wish will be fulfilled, you know.

It would make her reaction make more sense. Because I thought "how does she even know about this place after all? Why would she assume Akina was there?" Although I suppose everyone into Vanguard would at least know of the place, given that's where the Yu-Yu vs Gui fight (or well the Uniformers vs Blackout fight) took place and think "how did THIS place became a crater so suddenly?" 9:20 Considering Taizo is still there, alive and kicking, I suppose the faithful day, he had work so he couldn't attend the final Fated Clash. Probably jokingly telling the others "Tell me who got their wish granted" 13:38 Ws Hikari planning to hurt, if not outright kill, the other Fated Ones of her timeline? Wow. She really was willing to do anything to win. 18:24 So that's how he survived.... he flat out quit before his turn (so he had no idea what happened either)...

I’m not one to call out someone, but feel like in this case I should: If you see a comment from KesslerVTuber on here or any other Vanguard episodes, then I would strongly advise you to just ignore him. Week after week this guy posts nothing but rants about every DivineZ episode that get more unhinged with every week, to the point where he calls the timeline Future Hikari comes from the “good timeline” because nearly all of the cast is dead and it’d be better if she had died too. It’s honestly disturbing how someone could hate this anime so much that they’d want the characters dead. I, among others, have tried reasoning with him, suggesting not to watch the series if he hates it that much or to at least not comment if it’s just to rant, but he then gets defensive, replying that he can say what he wants while hypocritically telling anyone who doesn’t like what he says not to comment, as if playing the victim justifies what he’s said. At this point, it feels like he’s leaving these comments just to seek attention, to which I again advise everyone to just ignore him. People like him seem to get a kick out of angering others from the safety of they’re screen, treating it like some sort of game, but if you don’t react then they’ll have no power over you. And at the end of the day, Kessler still loses because none of his rants will have achieved anything. The DivineZ anime will still go on as planned, the characters will still be sticking around, and the fans who do enjoy this anime will continue to enjoy it, so don’t let the words of someone as toxic as some of the My Hero fans sending Horokoshi death threats ruin your enjoyment of this anime. If he wants to continue hating, then let him. It’ll only make him miserable in the end.

I notice future Hikari isn't above trying to do something physical to the other participants if it wasn't against the rule.

The plot just got interesting the writers really wanted to go back to the old days...

Ok fuck. I take back every shit I talked about the masked guy...

This episode was phenomenal! Legit well done twist, I love it!

Blangdmire killed everyone watching the fight because he took what his partner said literally, apparently the demon can’t read between the lines.

Well, the demon didnt live for long to read between lines, he'll be a bad match up for Jeramie

[@durandal2138]

So~? Anyone noticed how similar the two siblings met their Avatars? Kekekeke!! Also, I hope Rezael gets a new form for the final battle!! We've been running short of Grade 4's these past few seasons after GZ and only Megumi has been shown to use Magnolia's Grade 4 form in this series!!

[@chilup2007]

You’re right. Like barely at least one per nation (not counting G units, that would be a total of 8 G4s).

[@lemueltan1497]

I am still surprised about a Cardfight Vanguard version of a terminator.

[@Sebastian-w4d3r]

There might be 12 fated cards. We don’t know what fated cards Hikari opponent used.

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

Imagine if Hikari's opponents from her Fated Clash were characters from the previous seasons like maybe Megumin or even some of the side characters at Blackout

I wonder after Future Hikari go back to future, will Present Hikari gain Amorta in latest season ?

[@tripleaces659]

I have been wondering as I was reading the comments, who is Amorta? Is that the name of the Fated one of Time? Didn't Bushi havent yet to pronounce the name of the Vanguard? Aside from The Fated One of Time

[@knexell5894]

This got super routine to super dark real fast and it's terrifying. Spoilers! This episode basically tells us what had happened on the first fated clash minus Hikari's interference, Akina loses to Suo and Suo wished for nothing, which Blangdmire understands it as "Oh by 'nothing' you mean nothingness meaning erasing you and everyone here by exactly 100 meters, I see very well you're wish is granted" and basically erases five of the six participants of the first fated clash. (which makes sense since Taizo originally didn't want to participate in the fated clash to begin with until Hikari insisted and again the reason why Taizo knew where to go during the previous episodes.) Also, I feel bad for Hikari throughout this episode, we see her at her lowest because of losing Akina, especially whenyou see how she was furious towards Gabwelius (literally reminded me when Mirei found out that Nadatsugu was alive) and was willing to phisically harm the other participants to gurantee her victory (Gabwelius stops her from doing so), you can see how desperate she wants her wish to come true to the point that she wanted to stop Akina from fighting Suo even though Akina's reason for participating the fated clash involves her. One thing I'm confuse about is Suo, dude if you want to erase yourself then do it yourself. This episode really made me question on why would he even care enough to participate in the fated clash if he didn't want anything to begin with, I'm beginning to think that Blangdmire is just pulling him in all of this. One thing that I think will happen if Akina and Suo fight is that by the end of the fight either Akina wins gets his wish come true, or Suo will win again but this time finally finds what he wanted and wishes for that so that both of them don't die this time. Again, for real this time, next is Hikari(Future) VS Akina, most likely Akina will win and prove to Hikari that he can change fate and make sure he doesn't die this time, and probably some sibbling banter as they fight. As for Hikari's Fated One card it might be the following: 1. Returning one card to the deck and call a card or more from the deck with their total Grades being equal or less than the grade of the card returned for this ability +1 2. Divine skill - Extra turn, simple as that.

[@knexell5894]

Also loving V2 of the opening btw.

[@gorvenger1241]

3:00 Say with me everyone WE LOVE CHANGING OPENINGS🎉 Also,i like changing Hikari from a "goal character" to an active one. The way she just goes on and on to stop Akira... although,let us be fair,he probably ... I just thought of it. What if there is a dark twist of "if you lose a fight,ANY FIGHT,in that world,your wish is done" for Hikari?

[@D3_Special_Extra]

I bet her brother will become a professional time traveler. So we can have a 2nd season

[@ilimitado13]

Almost got right but Akina, your sister is already alive in the future so you dont need the wish (I am gonna suposse he wanna get her the more health, the best)

[@thessalonicagloriaaracelyw681]

Maybe akina's wish is to make her sister become healthy. Even in the future her sister still alive but she still sick and often back to hospital

[@ZenithintheMaking]

I don't think he wanted her to be healthy to save her life, I think it was just he wanted her to be healthy so it wouldn't *hinder* her life.

[@667Kero]

@@ZenithintheMaking True. Is was never stated she had little time/years left. It was "only?" a health condition that would accompany her. And now we know half of the reason is Akina himself feeling guilty as he thinks it was his fault from that flashback accident. But at the same time (before the revelation this episode flashback), it made akina's wish much less "urgent" as there wasn't a life in risk.

[@667Kero]

It was never stated she had little time/years left. It was "only?" a health condition that would accompany her for all her lifetime. And now we know half of the reason is Akina himself feeling guilty as he thinks it was his fault from that flashback accident. Actually, before that flashback this episode..Akina's motivation was not as urgent, but at the same time it was similar to some other wishes (that aimed to change a lifestyle).

[@alavaros5057]

Cardfight Vanguard + Purella Madoka Magica = this show

[@mattwo7]

12:40 So it's true then, it's not his real form after all. That explains how he survived the void too. But if it's just a speaker, how can he _see_ everything?

[@ezekieldevesa9676]

If Blangdmire's skill disables all Vanguard skills... wouldn't that also mean that Akina can ride another unit on top of Rezael the next turn?

[@kodokutamashi1569]

The main problem is to survive Blandgmire Divine Skill. Suo's certain win pattern is Swirler behind Vanguard and used Igxpelor skill in soul which can boost Blandgmire to ridiculous number. Plus Suo's deck has a card that has the critical 2 attack too.

[@EmityThePianoGuy]

no you cant cuz the divine skill for rezael states until of this fight. it doesnt matter if it was removed it would still be there so you still need to ride rezael

@@EmityThePianoGuy Actually, Blangdmire disable the player's skills as well which is the reason why Rezael miracle trigger won't work. Don't know about exact the ruling but I think you can ride a card other than Rezael in that situation since the skill is disabled for the turn.

[@ToorGoruK0316]

if a second fated clash will happen in 3 years, does that mean there will be another big antagonist in later seasons

[@sebastianpendragon]

That stupid thing to ask from someone don’t need anything, I mean they can just run go home before Suo make his wish. Like they standing 200 meter away and after Akina loose all of them can just run as far as possible.

[@dindapriska]

At that time they didn't know what did "I don't need anything" mean though. For all they know, it could be literally nothing (as in nothing happened) rather than a void of nothingness that basically killed everyone in the vicinity. Also even if they run away from the area, did you think they could outpace the ball of void in time? Especially Akina who stood the closest to Suo.

[@sebastianpendragon]

@@dindapriska and now they know, it should easy deal with if Akina losing, all of them run as fast as possible or perhaps don’t come when it time. All Akina need just go to gate far away from void and he be safe.

[@iqhmalRedux]

To add to that it wasn't like Suo wish for everyone to die. He simply said he don't need anything which to anyone normal isn't a wish. Plus this whole wish thing to them is merely a chance, not even a guarentee since there's no precedent (prior to Hikari that is, but they don't know that)

[@dindapriska]

​@@sebastianpendragon Now that they know, Akina's character wouldn't allow that. He'd try his damn best to persist and win the fight to completely avoid that end, maybe with training and such, instead of just lose and run away.

[@brendalee1215]

The whole point is that Akina wants to fulfill his wish to save his sister

[@shellman1yt816]

Can’t wait for the next episode

[@EddieAFool]

Ayo the Opening changed its last part

[@winterfenrirfrank1711]

just some extra info, it appears that akina is 178 cm tall, now I wonder about nao and hikari height as well. Even if akina wins against suo, I doubt it will not end badly. Many people predicted akina will sacrifice his life but I hope he will at least survive, just that he will be sick only. both siblings living healthy is the best outcome though

[@667Kero]

I think Suo will win BUT Akina's effort will enact in him the desire to wish for something, hence making anything but a killer wish/ black hole

[@bluerose1217]

The fated clash still remains a mystery.

[@deboltteamenlight3480]

Just a question, but… Wouldn’t it be easy to ask Suo like: „Yo Suo! If you win the fated clash, could you please just say „I have no wish“, instead of „I wish for nothing“? Would help a lot. Thanks!“

[@everyonewantsd7596]

Imagine Resael and Fated one if time are actually siblings ! That would be a great

It's more likely the Fated One of Time is Rezael's lover from the lore.

even this batch of Fated Ones are mehh AF, their wishes are kindda not on the same level as Akina's, Suo's could've been good if his wish was to revive his dead parents but we know now he's just an obstacle, not a character

I think they're keeping the five more fated ones a secret for now. They could return in another timeline where Hikari is healed.

[@funkycrawler619]

Tbh Masanori has a point, any wish from the heart is a good wish. Not every Wish has to be ground breaking. The cards just the owners cause they relate to them, which is the first time in a while we had the cards actually relate to the owner. @@therranolleo468

So the true question is... what are the others divine cards that Hikari faced?

[@Aquazeem]

gotta wonder who the other 5 fated ones were when Hikari participated in the Fated Clash. Edit. So Taizo was one of them, wonder what the other 4 were.

[@nhatphinguyen7785]

Maybe Nao rival from episode 8, 2 characters from Overdress and unknown 2 new characters from DivineZ.

[@667Kero]

No. Taizo was a participant in Future Akina's Fated Clash but he resigned so he didn't die in that black hole. Future Hikari then thought that changing that fact (Taizo's participation) would be the best chance to change the death scenario. And, according to Future Hikari, that judging present Akina's abilities Taizo would defeat him.

[@LiamGers-cx1kn]

So my theory from last episode, about the masked person being Present Day Hikari, was wrong, and honestly I don’t mind. I was going in the absolute wrong direction.

[@einzelkampf7]

Lore time episode is fireeeee

[@Otes-th7id]

I'm convinced that the plush toy is evil and will be Akina's final enemy. He is manipulating everyone and his greatest desire may be to return to the person he was. He said that even if he destroyed that body he would find another one, but maybe his goal is to get his appearance back. someone won the tournament in the past and expressed a desire to turn it into a plush toy

[@christopherlawrence6353]

I get Kyubey vibes from that.
