[Sub][Episode 2] CARDFIGHT!! VANGUARD Divinez - Fated Clash

[@shmarfle47]

Gotta say, this is probably the best teaching fight they’ve done up to date

I do agree with you. I did wish that they mentioned the energy generator thing at the beginning of the game instead of suddenly shoving it in mid game.

same staff i think and same animation studios of the other series which are Kinema Citrus , Gift Animation and Studio Jemi although according to the first episode seems like this season they have some help from another studio but not one of the main studios. Just seems that the studios are slowly improving each D series have been doing something better than the last one.

[@sneakyferret7068]

20:41 the way he said “if there is a price to pay, it’s the hope that your wish may come true” is so suspicious that I believe that if the main character lose then his sister is guaranteed to die as his hope for his sister get better is gone, I swear this is just like the plot of wixoss

[@whothis5810]

Ya i was thinking the same when i first hear that being said, l8ke if you loss then there truly is no hope left.

[@thealmightyultimus3832]

I seriously don't trust that there's no downside to losing. They're literally fighting to change fate, that isn't gonna come without risks

[@cblazerc]

that's what I was thinking watching these first two episodes. glad I'm not alone.

[@joshuaamadeusishak1887]

What if he only meant that he fell into despair when his chance to change his fate is gone and he wasn't able to gain anything after he lost? Well, that might be just wishful thinking but I can only hope that's all there is to it.

[@MrZer093]

It definitely has sinister undertones but the idea is that his life would just go back to normal if he loses. So it would be like he wasn’t in the Fated Clash to begin with. At worst, all he gets is the knowledge that he doesn’t change fate and so he stops trying.

[@jhonlhorbae9430]

"If there is a price to pay, it's the hope that your wish may come true. That's what you'll lose when you lose." Hold on. This sounds ominous especially Akina is fighting for her ill sister. If this turns out to be the catch, I don't think my heart is ready.

[@callump1996]

So my personal theory is Akian's sister may have underline heart disease. The way she keeps passing out and coughing seems to hint something is going off inside her body. At 22:48, you can see her putting her hand on her chest as she is coughing. This all fits very well with Akian's boss card Raziel, who is a former Angel Feather unit (Note, we don't know why he quit yet but it fits very well with the real-life Raziel who in some stories says he is a Fallen Angel of God). Angel Feather was a clan based on Angels, who were doctors that would rush to the scene and the heal the sick and injured on Cray. Akina rushing to want to play with skills so he can learn the game faster and win the Fated War so he can heal his sister could be seen as an ambulance trying to rush to the scene of a sick or injured person.

[@magicalswordsman5838]

It's definitely a good strategy to up the stake this fast to get us hooked, but this also come with a risk of making the pace of the story run too fast as well as fumbling with certain characters's development. Already two of the main characters are going to duke it out in a pseudo death match. At this rate, the Fated Clash will probably end on the very first season which raise the question of what on Earth will happen in season 2 if there is no Fated Clash. As for the characters, obviously the writer gonna need to come up with something for the characters to do once they lost the Fated Clash and that's what scares me because the loser might actually be putted on the sidelines for the rest of the story.

[@xCrusaderOfLightx]

God this might be the best Vanguard anime yet

[@knexell5894]

Internet was gone for days, and missed the premiere for the first episode, but now I'm back! Spoilers! Well not to spoil much considering this episode was 70% tutorial, with a few foreshadowing here and there, also Gabwelius just casually eating a banana (I would have punched him if I was in Akina's situation) and confirming how the clash of fate will work, since the person who loses is eliminated means that there will be only 5 total matches for this tournament. Also I'm 100% sure that the winner will pay the price for their wish to come true, the deal is too good to be true there has to be an exchange. Well enough of that for now I'll leave my thoughts about the first episode and this series so far I'm liking Akina so far in the series it's nice to have a main Vanguard protagonist who's actually more optimistic and can hold a conversation with someone, also him just punching Gabwelius in the face thinking he's a ghost will always be funny to me. I was certainly surprised to find out that Hikari loves vanguard considering that she didn't strike me as someone who loves vanguard, honestly her love for Vanguard already has me theorizing that she might become a protagonist in the future, I hope that if she does get better she becomes more prominent as the series goes forward since she has the potential. When I thought Michiru was gonna be the last most ragged character in this series and then Suo appeared, sheesh dude are getting proper sleep, I can't blame Akina for worrying about him. The way I see his story play out is that he either wants to find what he's lacking or just sever something. Though we only see Mikoto for a few seconds, her being an idol already shows her own reasoning for her joining the fated clash, though more clarification is needed. Finally Nao, I like how she's very passionate about Vanguard, her attitude gives me a Tomari-like type of vibe, as seen in this episode her story for joining the fated clash is that she struggles whether or not she is cut out to become a pro, the person calling her in the episode might be her parents, since she is a college student she probably will give up on her dream if she loses. For the returning characters, Taizo I feel like he's on a near breaking point considering that he said on Episode 1 that he was so close, yet he lost it's kinda fitting that the new Welstra has robotic Arms in the art which might be why Taizo joins the fated clash, he wants to grasp victory, I can also see that the boss he works for wants him to stop, probably because he thinks it's a waste of time. Masanori... is Masanori, honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he wished for more chaos. I'm excited to see where the series goes from here, and see how the fates of these characters change for better or worse.

[@drakeredgrave6747]

So my thoughts: - I'm kinda glad that they didn't do the miracle heal. I love the bait and switch - They didn't show any units in actual motion but i hope that changes next episode(and hopefully in a style similar to pre D series) - love the characters, way more interesting than the last 3 seasons. Honestly can't wait for the next episode. My hopes are currently a 7.5, hope it goes to 9 soon...

But, it is kinda weird. The current Vanguard format no longer has the old clans and instead have the 6 nations that each clan used to belong to. So, each players would technically have a deck with units from different clans of the same nation. Akina used Keter Sanctuary, the new United Sanctuary, some of his rearguard units would've been from Royal Paladin but most of his units especially the ones from his ride deck would've been from Angel Feather. Nao used Dragon Empire, most of her units especially her ride deck are mostly would've been from Kagero and some of her other rearguard units would've been from Tachikaze.

4:04 how many times are they going to make the hahaha sike cant attack on the first turn joke

[@isaiahsodeman4463]

That was good teaching fight he made mistakes learned from them and is eager to get better I kinda sucks that he has to use plot armor to win for future fights but we’ll see what happens loving it already

[@kashafbaig6049]

More cardfight animations!!!!!

[@Sebastian-w4d3r]

The protagonist lost the teaching fight to her so he can win the real one…

[@CriticaL_Guyz]

Remembering back on aichi sendou gives naustelgia

[@razewalker7593]

Fate clash battle with no consequences if you lose ? LET ME IN !

[@dindapriska]

I had a similar reaction as Akina lol. Like, that easy??

[@ZarcX0]

wait next episode to see if has consequences.

[@geraldushimawan8269]

Hope there is many card archtype outside the main fated ones that use more of energy mechanic

[@zeroto700]

Imagine if he fought a person that had blaster Blade

[@kodokutamashi1569]

Sendo Aichi is a legend that is undefeated when he reached his peak. Which is when G next. No doubt there will be encounter cards that used new mechanic. Either Blaster Blade Burst or Exculpate will come.

[@Gregsusername]

YOU CAN'T JUST PAIR THEM UP IN THE FIRST ROUND LIKE THAT ;-;

[@sephirodv4427]

First vanguard main to lose his first vanguard fight

[@MmmmEJ]

The fated battle so fast?! Some more pit mentor against student

[@E-H3R0]

My avatar…ghost hippo dragon!

[@metaliczic96]

5:46 Aimoto Rinku noises (same VA)

[@MadeInChina06]

The dub of this is gonna be swagger love this show so much ❤

[@kingpiepie4616]

The MC fated unit looks definitely like a reborn malkuth-malek or whatever the name was again

[@DIESEL-SAVES-LIVES]

New character, LET'S GO!!!!

[@kodokutamashi1569]

They never pulled all triggers in a teaching game. Seeing how Akina is Fated One of Miracles, they could make him pull OT as a proof of miracle and there will be explanation too. But I guess OT is totally in the hate zone and that's fair enough.

[@M4-846]

Stand up, the Vanguard

[@KiaraKitsune]

wait, did she guard with a grade 2 Unit when she only had a grade 1 Vanguard? Did I miss something? Since when is that allowed?

[@kihyceparchment6249]

Its been like that since v series, u can guard with a higher grade unit even if its higher than your vanguard

[@anonnimoose7987]

You want me to change the cruel fate of battling 5 times? Okay. *turns off phone and hides*

[@gorvenger1241]

I just hope Hikari will be alright in the end.. Somethinh tells me I am wrong though(

[@SuchithraSuchi-em5kj]
