[Sub][Episode 3] CARDFIGHT!! VANGUARD Divinez S2 - Guidance on the Scales

[@abdullahumar8752]

BROOO Taizo and Kyoma discribes the best of Realistic form of Life and Friendship in the coolest way i haven't seen since forever!

[@BushidoRoad]

I think this is the most we’ve learned about Taizo since his debut fight, not that I’m complaining. His dynamic with Kyohma is pretty touching, helping him out with whatever he may have overlooked. Heck, even under Sybilt’s control, his wish to take over Taizo’s company is more so Taizo could focus more on Vanguard instead of spreading himself thin. Now that’s what you call a true friend. You don’t know how happy I am to see new Dragon Empire support after only having two characters use that Nation until Nao last season. One thing I liked about the original series is that they could have multiple characters use the same clan, like teams Cesar and Dreadnought, but that each character would have a different play style for it. That’s what I’m really looking forward to this season, especially with how half of the Nation’s in overDress were severely underused. So Sylbit is actually possessing one of the Destined Fighters. Three guesses as to who it could be… Next week it’ll be Masanori vs Jinki, one of the more anticipated matchups this season. I’ll be curious to see how the other characters will react if the Uniformers Project is brought up.

[@mannikaru579]

I think it will be hikari

[@SuperSayianWarrior]

Even though the Destined One's Ride line is copy pasted from Fated Ones. Like nothing was really unique With him, even having a EoB retire and draw skill. It's gotta be Either Hikari or Jinki due to the OP using a mirror for him, I highly doubt it's anyone else because they don't seem that different, even though when we first met Kuon in the school he already was under the Mental Pollution it only removes that inate inhibitor for Desires, Senka's wish is to fight and beat Nao so does Syb need to pollute her mind for it, no Hikari is the only one Acting vastly different from how she's supposed to be for it too be coincidental

[@BushidoRoad]

@@SuperSayianWarrior I’m not talking about the Ride Lines, but how Kyohma’s Dragon Empire deck was used compared to what we’ve seen before. For example, Nao’s Dragon Empire deck is focused on dealing multiple attacks with her Vanguard, while Kyohma’s is focused on powering up his Rearguards. I don’t think it’ll be Hikari, given Kuon’s prominence this season and that scene with Jinki might mean he and Gui might join together for his fight against Masanori. Sylbit may be possessing one of the fighters, but I don’t think their directly possessing whoever it is, at least for the moment.

[@coroanmon10023]

​@@SuperSayianWarriorI'd argue for Kuon. Hikari's attitude change could be due to her Destined One's powers letting her see the events of the previous seasons. She probably feels guilty over her brother risking his life to help her. As well as a bit of anger for his selfishness. If it wasn’t for Future Hikari's Fated One, history would've repeated itself.

[@jamesluong5299]

@@SuperSayianWarriorI see the point your making but 1.i think it prob kuon considering his role 2. That shift would you not say is similar to future hikari. Her resolve perhaps this hikari always had this side but surprised it 3.the release desire could be what affecting her simply remember even taizo notice a change kyhoma talking about if the current kyhoma always saw taizo in that way. Perhaps with what’s suppressing her it could be the manifestation of her guilt in regert

The similarity between scales vs guding star with there distinct differences is very interesting. Similarly to zero and infinity.

That said, one of them is fully possessed I don't wanna speculate anymore cuz so far I have a trashy track record lol. Also, Kuon. How far back do you go with Suo and Akina??

[@SuperSayianWarrior]

I mean people have it down to 3 people,being Kuon, Hikari and Jinki. Now, the Kuon one is weak because it only makes sense plot twist wise, the Strongest being Hikari given her 180 personality flip and hiw Lianel=Odium has Latin Odium meaning extreme hatred or Disgust towards one individual or individual actions, Jinki because if the OP, which given how Bushiroad hid the Ep13 scene in the OP the ENTIRE time, could be it again

[@sagaenne4977]

Good battle. Taizo and Kyohma's friendship is heartwarming :).

[@jamesluong5299]

Something I notice about aelquilibra the deck it self seem to be very cost effective while maximizing the potential of itself and other unit. Which plays into kyhoma character and in this moment he was probably banking on a trigger since he was at negative power so that it would be easier to survive the turn and that he would more option next turn. He was trying to balance out his options and be cautious so he could put his focus on winning . But that’s cautiousness is what let taizo over take him 😁 20:48

[@jovansoh]

Raising glasses with the middle finger, tipping such scales, as expected of Kyohma Serious notes, my guess is either Kuon, since Sylbit might want to devour cray the same way he did Gab's tribesmen, or Hikari, since Liael was already shown to start from a humble beginnings in season 1 and now "evil" in this season

[@jamesluong5299]

And to do that by any means necessary even if its regard as taboo And in a way Akina was able to grant that wish. Cause masanori could see Akina strong desires but for him it was a different type of desires that he clearly found interesting. Cause it was something he didn’t fully believe aka “miracle boy” and miracle and taboo are two side of the same coins So in the final fight not only was able to fufill his own wishes he was able to pull suo own will and desire.

[@knexell5894]

...Well guess my prediction is debunked. Spoilers! Before this episode I thought Kyouhma wanted to take over the company because he sees himself as a much more worthy CEO than Taizo because Taizo is too relaxed and doesn't take his work seriously, but I was proven wrong not only on Kyouhma's intentions but also this match, Kyouhma was a good friend looking out for Taizo wanting to take over the company so that Taizo can just focus on vanguard, also I didn't expect Taizo to win honestly, and it pretty much confirmed to us that if the "Fated Ones" would win they would use new support cards to do it. Now for the cardfight, well I already said that I was surprised Taizo won, so lets talk about Destined One of scales Aelquilibra, I kinda like his skill honestly, though it does remind me of Soul Saver Dragon (the original one btw) but with less cost. and now intoducing a new mechanic OverCharge, I like the way the deck works honestly using Aelquilibra to not only increase power but also gaining power himself, triggering Overcharge, multi-attack and let's not forget about the Divine Skill, though my only gripe with this is the fact that the power increase of triggers is reduced by 10000 which good if your opponent pulled any other trigger, except the overtrigger, which in this case is bad, honestly I would have preferred if it worked like Vortex Dragonewt where the trigger effect is completely nullified, so that even if the opponent pulled the overtrigger it would be useless and also it's a neat call back to previous DE cards, it is a Divine skill so you can only use it once and I think that's fair. So next is Masanori VS Jinki, and honestly I rather have Jinki win this than Masanori, I'm curious on what the new Alden can do and what Jinki was doing before the Destined Showdown. So with this new revelation my new predictions is now this (and I'm not gonna stop until the last few matches, even though I might be wrong in the future) Suo VS Kuon - Kuon Wins Taizo VS Kyouhma - Taizo Wins (this episode) Masanori VS Jinki - Jinki Wins (next episode) Nao VS Senka - Nao Wins Mikoto VS Yuna - Yuna Wins Akina VS Hikari - Akina Wins and of course the deciding match is Akina VS Kuon and it's either Akina's win or Kuon's.

@@Loin0ir Fair, I can actually see that happening to just hammer in the fact that Akina's resolve is not enough to just have a wish of his own, especially without using someone else as a basis for his wish. If that were the case in this scenario, Nao and Mikoto might make sense to win for the following reasons: For Nao it is a way to finally resolve the dispute between her and Senka (the two were probably part of a team, but had a falling out at one point due to Nao leaving the team and choosing to become a pro) For Mikoto it is a way for her to convey to Yuna that she just needs to be herself no matter what (since Yuna's description describes her having a double life, an upstanding student who is part of the student council in the day and a massive Mikoto fan at night, which parallels Mikoto in a way.)

@@knexell5894well I thinks that entirely possible I don’t if I would like that better! Cause than that kinda takes away at season 1 the whole reason he won was that he was fighting for the sake of someone else. It’s what gave the extra drive. And while I can understand hikari pov is it really so wrong to want someone else to be healthy. I think in akina pov i knows not overdress but i think in truth. He been facing his past embracing it a moving on. Cause I think with her being sick for a long time has taught him to appreciate the small moments in life those moments are a miracle to him. And him losing to present hikari I feel like kinda rejects everything he was in season 1. That as long you don’t give up and keep pushing with the support of those around you. If you take the extra step You can reach out to someone you can grab a miracle. And for Akina that extra step was hikari Cause I think it fair to say he was not only fighting for hikari but also he was fighting to not lose his precious little sister! Now that said that would definitely be a good conclusion if that happen but I just wonder it would be the best cause he laid everything on the table for future hikari now he should do that with present And going back to that logic I was think about.

[@jonathanbuban9610]

I just realized, only reason Taizo won is because he bricked. He had 1 Pg, and 8 triggers in his hand during Aequilibra's Divine Skill.

[@_simplylink_]

The episode was fun and I'm glad that we got more of Taizo's lore since we didn't really get any during Season 1 since he was more focused on helping Hikari. I still hope that they one day go back to that issue he had with his father not believing in what he was doing and that one day he can get them to see, at least Kyohma is there to support to him. My only grip with the episode is that the win wasn't really deserved IMO. He had to top deck that new g1 and they actually made Kyohma misplay by making him take the g1 attack instead of blocking both it and Trolle, he had 2 crits and a front trigger in hand, even if the new g1 gained 10k power he still had enough with just those three cards to block those two attacks and then take the Maximum to go 5 and then kill Taizo on his next turn. The development was good and the bromance was wholesome but like the win was forced IMO but I get it they didn't want to make Taizo job again.

[@jamesluong5299]

@@_simplylink_ I disagree it’s a 100% deserve! He reached out his hand and grab a miracle! And I see your point but he was most likely banking on a damage trigger cause he was a -3k. To make it easier. So probably just didn’t have enough to block 2 out of the 3 attacks.

[@jamesluong5299]

Plus it also kinda a reflection of kyhoma he weigh out what would be the best option for the best possible turn next turn. If he got a damage trigger he would’ve had more options next turn! Essentially balancing out the scale so he can survive this turn and win next turn. But taizo drive over took that!

[@oshysplashers]

Ok I think the grade 1 did have enough power to hit as long as there’s some indication of it getting power (18 vs -2 requires a 25k guard) (this also allows Trolle to break through a 30)but he also never indicates it gets power so we just gon have t see on Tuesday ig 😭😭

Ok, this explains why the mental pollution was not immediately associated to the possible demise of the Destined Ones since it was the same thing that affected Gawbelius crew way back in planet Cray. So it turns out Sybilt is currently only using a downgraded version of that pollution.

[@manuelvfc6254]

Spoiler alert For all of You who thought Taizo was gonna lose: IN YOUR FACE!

[@DragonicEmperor401]

My boi scales lets see what he will do i hope its great

[@damondusklight]

I was convinced that the plot would have the first three rounds be wins for the destined ones, but good on Bushiroad for proving me wrong and giving Taizo the win he deserved.

[@SuperSayianWarrior]

But they've all but confirmed that Legacy wins with Akina and the DivineZ cast loses because God forbid Bushiroad actuall making use of New Female leads

[@damondusklight]

Eh, we'll see

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

@@SuperSayianWarrior we all know masanori is gonna lose. i would be more surprised if he won and dissapointed as that means nao and mikoto are basically doomed to lose unless they pull a fast one and let akina lose the first fight and needing to win in the rematch. if masanori loses, AT LEAST 1 of them (mikoto or nao) are winning. Hopefully Nao. Given she was eliminated from the Fated Clash so fast she was left as a guest to watch. And to rub salt into the wound, it is heavily implied she still lost in the original timeline. While you could argue Mikoto at least got one win in the other timeline where taizo said "yeah. no". unless mikoto was immediately told to go vs Akina

[@SuperSayianWarrior]

@@ianr.navahuber2195 yeah but see, look at the track record. When was the last time Any female character actuall won? Sure Nao did win a nothing filler episode and the training battle but again. Nothing episode and a training battle. Female characters tend to get tossed to the wayside in VG WAY too often. I mean look at Haruka, aide to arguable the strongest VG female in the Entirety of the show, and she lost more fights then she won. Sure they can pull a YuYu, but unless Syblit promises that if Fate wins they'll release the mind Pollution, Akina kinda needs thar win against Hikari

[@BushidoRoad]

@@SuperSayianWarrior Nao’s wins against Akina in his first fight and Mondo are still valid, especially the latter since her win against him brought her closer to her goal of becoming a pro, so it’s not filler and it shows how female characters hardly get tossed to the wayside in Vanguard.

[@Lancelotzero1]

Just realized, there was a misplay for Aelquilibra, the guy didn't soul charge after calling his Grade 1 from soul like he was supposed to.

[@MollyWolfArt]

Pretty nice fight overall. Though the power of Sybilt has me wondering how powerful it is, since the previous fight of Kuon and Suo seemed rather friendly at the end and like they understood each other. So I wonder if he has that power compelling him still. Also Sybilt is definitely either Kuon, because his research probably led him to discovering Sybilt in the first place and getting possessed that way, or it's Hikari because of her evil umbrella in the OP and maximum emotional damage to Akina.

[@agentd.0096]

I'm calling it now, the remaining wins for the fated one team is gonna be Nao and Akina while Mikoto and Masanori are gonna lose and then the final match will be Akina vs Kuon.

[@platzstarlight]

Basically Sybilt has diffrided on one of the destined one players... Hmmm the way they come from cray to earth... These 2 must have found the materials used by Shiranui Oboro and the diffriders.

[@SyazWan-w6b]

"I wish i had hair like billie eillish" ~masanori

[@nabilismail9977]

Since he is using Colgaflan instead of Falhart, Aelquilibra might be using Energy. Panzerschreck doesnt seem to be using soul for his skill and at 11:42, the cb hasnt flipped yet so Aelquilibra and Panzershreck arent using cb.16:15 one of cb was used so divine skill uses 1 cb.16:24 there should 3 cards in soul but there is only 1 so either Aelquilibra divine skill cost is 1 cb and 2 sb or the divine skill is 1 cb and 1 sb and Shalhuub skill uses 1 sb on attack. At 18:41 you can see only 2 cb was used but the energy, which should be 9 by now, is zero so the deck uses energy a lot.

[@Unruined0]

Yeah everything seems to be right. I think it’s quite likely that Aelq is 1 cb and 1 soul for his divine. I’m interested in what Fariizas does because it seems to be the usual 13k van booster. Based on Taizo having no field, ima assume it’s most likely a cb 1 to retire 1 or 2 rearguards because anything else would be suspect on why it wasn’t used.

We all know Masanori is gonna lose next episode, right? While I am glad Taizo got a Win, I kinda fear that this means Mikoto or Nao are gonna lose again when BOTH really need / deserve a win. I will be surprised if the let Akina Lose, and let him have the rematch duel at the end.

[@agentd.0096]

Masanori and Mikoto are gonna be next loses for the Fated team while Nao and Akina are gonna be the next winners for the Fated one team. I knew Taizo was gonna win this match though I was a bit skeptical when I saw him use his divine skill very early.

I bet Syblit has possessed Masanori

[@enricom4]

Two things: 1. I think that the one possessed is or Jinki or Kuon, Hikari seems too obvious (Kuon is obvious too but still...) 2. I am pretty sure that Jinki will win

[@platzstarlight]

I don't think it's Jinki... It should be either Kuon or Hikari (Her personality is too different)... Most likely Kuon since he's somewhat their representative. I predict the result of the games should be a 3v3 draw and the finals should be Akina vs Kuon.

Aquilibra is just so thricking awesome and I was sorta hoping for him to be like dragonic vanquisher but still I do really like it and the main skill is definitely interesting giveing rearguard 5k to all and draw them add 10k to self but still the divine skill is crazy dealing damage and even a trigger pulled will be minessed by 10k so any trigger besides over is just cancled that is pretty crazy but still what's the cost for the skills I wonder but weirdly he gives me serious dragonic vanquisher vibes but still I'm so glad welstra won and support boss

[@CadelGamer]

My prediction for this season is, the Teams will be draw in 3-3 and final battle will be held between Akina vs Kuon. But Akina will lose and some sh1t will happen between Cray and Earth because of their wishes. Maybe after that we can see comeback of Yu-yu & Danji for the next season?
