❝ it may have started out that way, but everything’s different now. ❞ [to Aichi

Wounds don't go away easily, especially ones of the heart. In fact, some say that there are wounds that will never be healed, no matter how much time has passed. And the wound Aichi had suffered due to the dragon who reappeared before him seemed to be one of those unhealable ones, at least at this moment.

He had been hurt, badly hurt, by Kai's departure. Aichi understood needing to repay a debt. If it was just healing the head of the Eden House who the flame dragon accidentally burned during his escape from the Pale Moon Circus all those years ago, that would be one thing. However, Kai had decided to go back with her permanently, to leave his 'mates' behind, to leave Aichi behind, without the intent of seeing them ever again. Not since his father's death had the young man experienced such despair. The wound inflicted upon his gentle heart still continued to bleed, even now as Kai faced him and was clearly trying to take back what he did.

"I don't...I don't want to hear it..."

His voice was unusually cold and low as he continued to avoid the other's emerald gaze, as if the words he spoke were not his own, but they were. That just was a testament to how deeply what happened had affected him, was still affecting him. It had broken his heart to the point he too decided to separate from his two remaining friends, but unlike Kai, it in order to find his own path. Plus, he promised he'd come back to them. He had found himself traveling with the mysterious knight girl Kourin and the blueish flame dragon Olivier Gaillard, two people who knew about the mysterious power his eyes held, known as Psyqualia. With their help, he hopes to find out a way to control his power, to prevent himself from becoming like the person Kai feared more than anyone.

"You abandoned us, even after risking our necks to save you from Ren and his circus. You abandoned me, even after I begged and pleaded for you not to go because I couldn't bare the thought of not seeing you, someone very near and dear to me, again. And now..." His fist clenches at his side, his body following suit as bent up anger begins to boil to the surface and show itself. "And now you just want to take it all back? Take it all back like it was no big deal?! Sorry, it doesn't work that way."

He then begins to walk away, walking forward and not looking back. A small part of him wanted to run into Kai's arms, embrace him and let this all go, but...he couldn't, not right now. Until he can, Aichi reasoned it was best to stay as far away from Kai as possible, less he lose control of his power and do something he'll regret. He saw what terrifying things Ren could do with his when his emotions were high, after all.

"Goodbye, Kai..."

Cardfight!! Vanguard Extra Story IF 17—19 things

feat some overdue screaming

IF 17

said overdue screaming

Without the context of epi 19, Kourin’s reference to original memories stands out as incredibly peculiar. Miwa’s response, while fitting for anyone else, could have an entirely new meaning after the revelation at 19′s conclusion, we’ll get there in theoryland.

Never knew needed Kai-kun working part-time jobs but it has become a huge need, thanks writers.

That’s gay. But it does suggest that the possible ruptures in IF’s reality aren’t isolated to Shin and Kamui in the previous episode. It would be nice to see any other instances from the possible ripple effect.

pre-19: “oh this face is a mood”. post-19: “different character but hmmmmm”

With all the Legion Mate comparisons floating around from the get-go, Naoki’s method in tackling his regret is an intriguing choice against his past efforts. In Link Joker, Legion Mate and the second half of the manga/Reboot, Naoki’s objective was to make for his inaction going forward and earn Aichi’s forgiveness. If given the opportunity to go back and redo things, he may have taken it, though having heard from Aichi personally that he’s thankful for everything and everyone that he’s connected with as a result of how events played out, Naoki may not have had the heart to do so. Without that talk, it’s natural that, instead of looking ahead and atoning, Naoki’s turning backwards, it’s a neat contrast.

The series has always built up the relationship between Aichi and Blaster Blade but the relationship between Kai-kun and Dragonic Overlord is so precious, it’s a shame that it wasn’t delved into prior to the past couple of years. The notion of evolving circling the both of them is incredibly fitting, with the history they’ve had in both continuities and the duality of their approaches. (It might have been occupying thoughts a lot since, the scene was so poignant).

Between his soldiers attacking during their first (onscreen) attempt to reach the root of the problem and Emi’s subsequent admission, props to Aichi for isolating it and cutting it off to anyone that tries to interfere, hoping it’s a part of any explanation to his reality warping (assuming it was him, until today, it seemed the only viable reason).

The comparison between Naoki and Kai-kun had me believe the former might join up with the main party as a nod to being there by the latter from beginning to end of Legion Mate, being both characters harbouring regrets (if Kai-kun were to regret that his IF life takes away from the happiness of the Outside World characters).

I just really, really, really love this scene. That is all.

Bless for highlighting the irony in the KaiAi units being adversaries.

Did I mention this is joint-favourite IF epi with epi 7? It’s not, it is and here’s one of many reasons why.

Reason #57 why: the battle choreography.

“Aichi Sendou isn’t the one you want to save”. Makes you wonder who was out to save the object of their regret and who was out to save themselves.

For a moment, had believed Naoki was not-dying (Retiring?) and being returned to the Outside World, somewhat surprised it hasn’t been utilized more beyond the Ultra Rare teams diving into the Akashic Book from.

Very Soft Cardfight. That is all.

Somewhere, original continity Naoki is screaming.

Tell this to your Link Joker self, please.

IF 18

On the one hand, Kai-kun walking around in Miyaji (with or without the context of IF), on the other hand, Bushi Eats.

Probably due to cracks coming from him getting a glimpse of the original reality, but Shingo cares an enormous amount for someone who, just a couple of episodes ago, said all the products in Card Capital were going to make him lose his mind.

“Awful big brother”. Laughs with shovel. (Comparatively, he’s brother of the year.)

PEDAL FASTER.

Love how Masaki and Shinji are named to overlap with their brothers’.

He’s going to fucking murder you.

[Kourin voice] Aichi is tired. [Me voice] As am I of your bullshit.

Wingal took so much time to train that it was only on his third appearance that he didn’t attack anyone. Also soft? So very soft.

NO THAT’S SO CUTE DAMN IT.

I have so much to say about Aichi missing Emi but also she’s barged in twice and you blasted out our of the castle on both occasions. Bullshit.

Do not pull the Legion Mate with me, boy.

Is he super dissociated because how do you even in the face of this?

It’s not just that he shouted her name, but the tone of his voice shouting at her. Thinking about just how extreme it is in comparison to the Aichi she knows and has kept company is pretty chilling.

Just how aggressive Aichi has become within the IF World is alarming; on only two occasions has he let anger get the better of him and one of those two wasn’t so bad. If this is to play on how warped he was going into the fight with Ibuki, good play on the writers’ part.

Semi-related to the above; with exception of three characters (Emi, Rati and Voidkuto), Aichi’s always used honorifics, and attached one to Kourin’s name, so to hear him address her without one is jarring, for lack of a better word.

THE BIG RED FLAG: Aichi’s expression in seeing Kourin having acted of her own accord (and potentially disobey him) smacks of two things: — his perceived crumbling control over the Sanctuary Knights, coupled with Naoki and Shingo’s desertion (his lack of reaction to the latter is bizarre, as it lends itself to and could bolster his hatred of Vanguard) — insinuates he never had control, but was allowed to think that he did. There’ll be a section beneath 19, which itself does a lot to fuel the flames of this suspicion, that will consolidate thoughts and the theory that’s been brewing since this episode last week.

On the subject of 19, Miwa being so nonchalant and passive about everything makes a lot more sense.

Let the girls fight physically more.

UBW Archer Class Meme-y Dialogue tingles.

Naoki and Shingo holding down the fort is very sweet, particularly when Shingo was alone in that task last time.

IF 19

Alarm bells rings first thing in the morning.

The irony in past Ibuki preventing Kai-kun going to Aichi after the past dozen episodes, there are no words.

Odd that the caveat of meeting yourself from another point in time presents itself when it didn’t occur in the first two episodes, unless, at least in this case, it applies only to past events.

There’s trying not to yell FGO at things and then there’s brain yelling “Lostbelt!” at Ibuki.

Rekka and Ren’s appearances gives me hope they’ll resurface; the main characters and audience know where their target is, so would like to think word will somehow get to them. (Speaking of. Nome? Where the fuck are you during all this?)

Episode loves playing with unsettling sights, very fitting for messing Ibuki’s head around, but simultaneously, making it apparent just how much of a threat Kourin specifically is. — On a related note: Kourin beats out Ren, Leon, Sera, Voidkuto and IF Aichi to have the most nightmarish face and I Am Afraid. Give Aichi a face like that al you’ll irreparably wound my psyche.

Intense Vibrating. They’re setting up Ibuki’s Deleting Aichi is relevant, it was the only one Kourin didn’t touch on in the episode and I am burning.

How dare you montage their time together with that music and then cut to this!

Did everyone else forget Jammers were a thing or was it just me being dumb?

Everyday I relate to Kai Toshiki.

Just going to appreciate Kai-kun gushing over giant robots in the middle of battle.

Kai-kun!Blaster Blade vs Greion giving me intense flashbacks to Aichi watching Kai-kun’s image in Blaster Blade sacrificing himself to try and fend off Greion just before he got Deleted and SCREAMS. — Once that fight is brought up directly, if you listen, you’ll hear Rena screaming in the distance.

If there’s anyone who has no room to talk it’s Miss This Thirsty For Aichi. Also when did you two switch places of tease and teased?

“Oh shit, he’s going to Delete Kai-kun”. “Oh okay, false alarm, thank G—” “OH NO SHIT HE’S ACTUALLY GOING TO DO IT!” — On an actual note, seeing the three regrets prominent in this season all take separate routes is interesting; Shuka working to correct her wrongs in the present and moving ahead, Naoki trying to travel back and alter things from the point of origin and Ibuki being twisted to no longer feel regret, seek repentence and rather to repeat his actions. — Ibuki vs Aichi flashbacks intensify. — Also, mid-fall dab.

Double Agent Miwa is a blessing, who knew his acting skills were so good? Although the begs the question (if he was flat-out planted as a mole) how he earned Kourin and/or Aichi’s trust to become a Sanctuary Knight in the first place

IF 20 preview: HYPE! HYPE! HYPE!

Theoryland (Screaming):

Miwa being Takuto or Nome’s Outside World partner:

In both Rekka and Suiko’s cases, there was a companion venturing in alongside them, both of whom are friends of Kai-kun and the same age. Perhaps, Miwa may have been in league with one of the Tatsunagi brothers (having determined Aichi’s motivation and Kai-kun’s position in all this, calling on his closest friend to match the girls’ partners) through whom he gained insight into the situation and moved in order to protect Kai-kun; working from the inside to weasel information out of the others, understand how they operate, monitor their activities to keep Kai-kun out of their sights, (find Takuto, if with Nome) and maybe (find a means to or actively make an effort himself to) drag Aichi out of his current state. It may be that, instead of Sanctuary, his abduction of Kai-kun had the destination of a rendezvous with Nome until the girls’ interference and the entire incident went off the rails.

Aichi as a puppet king and Kourin the true human antagonist:

Since his expression in seeing Kourin on the offensive without his say-so, it’s been on my mind that Aichi hasn’t actually been in a position of power whatsoever throughout IF, but he’s been led to believe he is, and the act might be withering. As "original" memories factor into it and Ultra Rare’s were lost at the end of the main Reboot continuity plot, it’s possible they may be on the line as they were in Link Joker/Legion Mate. — As she’s aware there are such memories, it’s possible that they were triggered into resurfacing when Takuto appeared within IF World and encountered her and Aichi, leading to his capture and confinement, so as not to cause any further damage to the world fabricated. — Alternatively, she might be acting in order to keep the force (a Brandt remnant remains my personal suspicion) that has Aichi in his current state at bay. Her unease in seeing him hanging above the scene outside Sanctuary as she attacked the others might suggest that she was worried it could break loose, as she’s never been one to be rattled. This is why “human” was specified above, because whatever the case, any corruption in Aichi is evidently the overarching antagonist force.

Additionally, throughout the season, Kourin has been fiercely territorial around Aichi, speaking and acting on his behalf, while keeping the other Sanctuary Knights at an arm’s distance. She alone enters his private quarters, sees him in pain, and (no, haven’t given up entirely on the right eye thing, there have been other people around when he’s outside his Alfred form and it was visible) privy to any secret circulating him (as well as IF’s true nature), while keeping the others in teh dark. Her reasoning may be wanting to keep him under he thumb or prevent whatever’s inside/in control of him from running rampant.

And in regards to Ibuki, Aichi made the declaration about casting him elsewhere, but Kourin was the one who enacted it, and the sole player in manipulating him to switch sides. There’s no certainty that Aichi is even aware, much like he might not be conscious of Naoki’s betrayal. — Her being responsible for recruiting might also explain why Misaki was never a Sanctuary Knight: Kourin desired she have an ordinary, happy life, not unlike Aichi’s wish for Kai-kun.

In a truly ironic turnabout, it looks to be that Kourin is IF’s Sera.

Cardfight Vanguard G: Next turn 29 thoughts

Diffrider

There’s something interesting about the title. It is supposed to be read as “Diffrider”, however it is written with lots of kanji (and some hiragana), instead of the usual katakana. It’s not uncommon to see that in anime and manga. And the overall meaning is something like “Possession from another world”. That’s kinda what Different World Ride is all about.

Nice way to begin the episode with a beautiful piano melody. And we also get to take a look at Nome. Though, not much can be interpreted about him with only this scene...

His voice sounds familiar...*checks to see who is the VA* Tomokazu Sugita!? O_O Another big name joins the Vanguard cast. Just to give a few examples of his other roles: Joseph Joestar (Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure), Gundam Tanaka (Danganronpa), Karasuma (Ansatsu Kyoushitsu), Switch/Kazuyoshi Usui (Sket Dance), Gintoki (Gintama - haven’t watched that one yet but I know it’s very popular).

This episode sure is full of surprises. Didn’t expect to see Harmonics Messiah again. I mean, at the end of the movie, its card turned into Neon Messiah, so I’m a bit confused.

Leaving that aside, what it showed Ibuki is the main interest. Especially this:

That kinda looks like the Reverse energy thing. It is shown in Japan, so it’s most likely Shiranui.

Then Ibuki is woken up by Mamoru. Hmm, I’m thinking Mamoru might realize something is going on sooner or later.

Whoa O_O

I guess this picture was taken after Shiranui possessed Onimaru.

Pff Chrono exasperated that the investigation began because of a dream xD His reaction isn’t completely unreasonable though. And Aichi looks like he wants to calm him down, while Kamui tries not to laugh out loud xD Then Ibuki tells him to get down xD I wonder what Kai was tinkling about this situation.

Speaking of which, I re-watched the episode in Stride Gate in which Ibuki was driving with his broken arm and I realized that his car looked a lot different. So, this is most likely Kai’s car.

Back to the main topic, aside from convincing Chrono that it wasn’t a normal dream, we get some info on the Tatsunagi family. So Nome, the older brother, took over only recently and that because there were troubles during the last leader’s time. Yeah...things were indeed hectic when Takuto was around. But why did they wait so many years to change the leader? And usually the oldest sibling is the heir, so I’m guessing there was a reason why Takuto was made the leader instead.

Ok, Nome is a rather eccentric person, welcoming the guests with a party cracker, then he goes ahead and locks everyone in and turns a projector on.

I’m pretty sure the normal way is to tell the guests to take a sit, then bring some tea...

Trinity Dragon vs Kazuma and Taiyou xD The face Kazuma made when Tsuneto told them that the one with the most loses has to treat everyone to ramen is too hilarious.

Other than that, I’m glad that reminded us that team Striders got to participate in the U20 because they won against Trinity Dragon. And they put up a good challenge.

Now Chrono has to pay for ramen because he is skipping training xD That should turn out funny.

I’m confused as to why Kamui is kneeling down, but anyway.

This is the list with the qualified teams for the 2nd round. Since they are shown so clearly, thought I should present them all:

Team Diffrider

Team Toriaina/Triana (I have no idea what it could stand for...)

Boppin Rabbit (that’s kinda cute)

Team Baliastars (?)

Sheep's Head (what?)

Alpha Indy/Indi (I don’t know...)

Team Dead End

Team Moon...(sorry, I searched a lot, but I cannot find that last kanji and I don’t get why...)

Ribros (?)

Demise Neo

Tulip Group

Team Troika (?)

Rummy Labyrinth with Saya

Jaime Flowers

Fukuhara High School Vanguard Club

Striders

Sorry...I wished I could make it more accurate...But hope I managed to give a good idea of their names. Surely, most of them aren’t relevant, so it’s just “out of curiosity” kinda ting.

I think some of these were mentioned in past episodes, when the MC was speaking in the background. Also, the official spellings will most likely be revealed in the future for most of these.

But anyway, let’s go back to the main topic.

Ryuzu, what have you done...To think that the Different World Ride is an aftereffect of the Stride Gate. And the Void might be trying to use that. It’s not confirmed, but after seeing that black and red energy thing, I can’t think of something else.

So both sides need to agree for a Diffride. I guess that was the case for Miguel, Verno and Saori. And, it doesn’t seem like their original personality is completely gone. Or at least I hope so because Verno and Saori seemed interesting and I’d be disappointed if only their units are like that. However, Shiranui just went ahead and possessed Onimaru.

That should turn out interesting. The opening pretty much hints that Kazuma will find out about this (along with Shion and Tokoha) and most likely will want to bring his brother back and show him that he is over what happened in the past and how much he had improved over time. Who knows, maybe Onimaru (the real one, not Shiranui) himself felt guilty about Kazuma quitting.

I liked how Kamui compared the units to tourists xD Ok, I know he was being serious and slightly annoyed, but Nome’s answer just cracked me.

Kai’s reaction to hearing about Chaos Breaker was exactly as I expected. And the flashbacks from Link Joker started flowing in my mind...

So far, I like the contrast between Nome and Takuto. Takuto got involved in pretty much everything, but Nome is completely detached, as he is just an observer. I think he does have a good point.

I’d also like to point out the cards shown behind him: Chronojet Dragon, Altmile, Ahsha, Luard, Gurguit, Vanquisher, Gavrail, Battle Sister Madeleine, Scharhrot and Harri. So, Try3 plus their teams and Luna’s avatar. Ok...Nightrose at least should be there as well...I don’t know if I saw it right, but there seemed to be more cards, but Nome turned and his head might be blocking them. So, it might have been there.

I can’t let this episode pass without mentioning that Psyqualia is still around.

I was a bit disappointed that Kamui’s team didn’t make it to the 2nd round, but finding out that he didn’t want to pass in the first place makes me feel better. Hmm, I wonder how Emi and Nagisa took it.

Ibuki was basically telling him to go and enjoy the tournament, even with all this happening. Of course, when it’s time to act, he won’t be left out. He’s such a good guy.

First off, Tsuneto just declared Final Turn against Kazuma o_O Kina wanted to see how it will turn out, but then Chrono shows up and we do have a Chrono vs Kazuma match after all.

I like how Chrono said that the reason he wants to defeat Shiranui in the first place is to pay him back.

If they hadn’t shown the table a bit earlier and Kamui (who is still underage) wasn’t there, I would have thought they passed out because they got drunk. Or maybe Kai just defeated them one after another.

Knowing these people, they probably had fun and argued until they got tired xD

Speaking of Kai, he seems like he has something to do.

And there’s an Ibuki vs Aichi fight going on. I don’t really have anything to say about it.

Hmm, so Aichi will return to America and gather info. I don’t really see what’s the pint, considering that the Diffride occurred in Japan. Unless there are more people who experienced it. But he also wants to see the 2nd round, so the writers won’t get rid of him so quickly.

Since I watched the episode early in the morning, I thought I was half-asleep and still dreaming when this showed up. Even now, when it’s afternoon and I’m fully awake, I can’t believe Ibuki can make this kind of expression xD

This! This was my favorite part in the entire episode. I love this turn of events, with Kai helping Arata and Makoto to search for Noa. Of course, he has his own reasons because of what happened in the Link Joker arc and this is part of his redemption. But these two also have the right to know what happened to their teammate.

What made this moment even more special is that Kai, with his not so great social skills (I’m not one to talk though...) just went to them and said: Let’s go and search for Noa, while Arata and Makoto are just staring wide-eyed at him xD I bet they are thinking stuff like “What is Toshiki Kai from the Euro League doing here?”, “Why does he know about Noa?”

Hopefully, next week we get an expansion on this scene.

The preview showed a Try3 meeting and a bit of Verno vs Taiyou. That’s a fight I’m really looking forward to.

That "Chrono was overcome by tears of joy as he was holding his wallet" though xD Poor Chrono was still made to treat everyone to ramen.
