Introduction to Cardfight!! Vanguard
There are now billions of card game players in the world,
to an extent where card games have become a necessity, a part of our lives.
This is the setting for the world of Vanguard! A new card game series for players of all ages!
Before we take a look at some of the characters from this series, let me introduce two key locations which will be mentioned throughout the story.
This is a card shop called: 'Card Capital'. (Those of you who have had a chance to visit Japan will probably realize that this name is a parody of an actual shop found in Japan.)
This shop is a place where our main character, Aichi, visits quite often. It is often filled with kids playing card games and can get pretty rowdy some times.
This is the stage for the card game: Vanguard.
It is a place similar to our own planet, but unlike planet Earth, Gods and Demons, Dragons and other mythical creatures still roam the land. It is also a world where both Magic and Science have advanced hand in hand. Countries with advances in different fields and cultures rule over different parts of the planet Cray.
The main character of this story. He is a timid but gentle boy who used to be bullied quite often. After finally starting to play the Vanguard card game, he learns to be more out-going and grows stronger with every new encounter.
He respects Kai, another Vanguard card fighter very much. Aichi's current goal is to engage Kai in a card fight, and to earn his respect.
Although he doesn't take part in any tournaments, Kai is ranked among the top Vanguard card fighters.
A bright and cheerful boy many years ago, he seems to have grown cold and distant since the last time Aichi saw him.
A high school student working in the card shop: Card Capital.
However, she doesn't seem to have much interest in card games.
She is not afraid to try new things and can be quite straightforward at times, to a point where she scares the others when she is angry.
She started playing Vanguard by mere chance and has shown great potential, leaving the other card fighters in awe.
An lively and energetic elementary student who really isn't really very polite to all the elder card fighters.
He has fallen head over heels in love with Aichi's sister, Emi, at first sight. From that moment on, he has kept calling Aichi: 'Elder Brother'.
He is hot-tempered but generally good at heart.
A knight who belongs to the order of 'Royal Paladin' from the holy country of planet Cray. As seen from the picture above, he is a knight who wields the sword of light.
In Aichi's world, this is actually a rare legendary card which is pretty hard to find. To Aichi, this is his most precious card which he feels has encouraged him and protected him over the years.
The strongest flame dragon from the 'Kagero' Clan of the Empire. One of his many destructive powers includes: Eternal Flame, a fiery breath which can reduce all enemies in his path to ashes.
This card is the trump card of Kai's deck. It's overwhelming power often forces his opponents to the depths of despair.

Excuse me, just curious. Are we going to see this cardgame in english?
Card Gamer
I Really hope so, it is a game that is ALOT of fun to play, and hopefully they will make a international tcg, for people (Like me) who cannot read jap. and are force to look at online translations, I really hope, and i think they can make a lot of money out of this great game
Cardfighter
They already announced that they plan to do an English print version release date yet to be announced. Even though it's mainly for the English speaking Asian countries, I am sure they will be fine to use for other English speaking countries. I know when they start selling them that I will be buying them and using them to promote the game in my area.
Card Gamer
I know that i wiull do the same, and support the game 100 % (i have played Yu-Gi-Oh! since the first set and this seems like something familiar but new, so i will support the eng. sets 1000 %)
TSR
that would be awesome!!! will be looking forward to it when they print it!

Cant Wait for Vanguard to Hit the UK. Simple, easy to learn and looks fun to play.
Student
lol same but we need more partner shops as Bushiroad said shops with deck space and has history of selling card games etc... If it hits the UK then there as to be interest meaning adverts posters and maybe the anime in english.
UK is very locatable and the transport is very good so I would be happy if CFV came to UK. Also one of the Bushiroad staff is visting Forbidden planet mid-june so let's just hope they see something good and have fun!!.

Wanna ask a question about the new mad cap marionette. I heard from people that the effect states that when it is call, CHOOSE UP TO 1<<Palemoon>> from your hand to SC. And not CHOOSE 1 <<Palemoon>>, does it mean that i can choose zero and not soul charge at all?
Student

i have a question. can my vanguard with lower power attack a vanguard with higher power?. cause we know a lower vanguard cant win but what if the lower vanguard draws a plus 5000 triger and then have higher power, does it work that way? or does the triger dont have a effect since the other vanguard was higher?
student
it can be....if u r lucky enough

Is there any release dates for Trial Decks 3 and 4 English edition?
Dreamer
No official release date yet from Bushiroad, but they are working on it ｡◕‿◕｡ "No... this information(and pre-order) regarding the TD3 and TD4 is not true, and the plans for the 2 English trial decks are still awaiting approval. The release details will be announced via the usual channels once any details have been confirmed." - Bushiroad
