The battle between Kai and Aichi reaches its epic conclusion. Aichi hopes to get Kai into an Absolute Lock from which he cannot recover. However, Kai keeps managing to resummon his Legion. During one attack from Blaster Joker, Kai realizes that Blaster Blade holds the key to freeing Aichi and making sure no one will ever have to be sealed away again. On the final turn, Kai draws four consecutive critical triggers, giving his Legion an attack of 40000 and 5 criticals. Aichi can't guard. The seed leaves his body and charges at Kai, but Kai summons Blaster Blade to his side. Blaster Blade begins slicing the seed into many pieces. Each small piece enters the hearts of each of Aichi's mates. Blaster Blade reveals that the seed will continue to divide each time one of them fights another worthy opponent until the seed becomes too weak to continue. He vows that when that happens Link Joker will be accepted as a new clan on Cray. The next morning, Emi wakes Aichi up. Aichi learns that everything he did has been disassembled and everyone now remembers him.

Kai and Misaki are in a park where Misaki expresses her worry over whether or not they can find Aichi, but Kai calms her down. At Miyaji Academy, in the room where the Cardfight Club used to meet, Naoki awakes from a nightmare in which he tries to reach Aichi but fails to do so. He then comes across Shingo, who has also forgotten about Aichi. Naoki tries to help him remember, but the two are suddenly approached by a mysterious steward named Moress Pennyworth. He has been sent by the enemy to stop those who are trying to find Aichi, with Naoki set in his sights. The cardfight between Naoki and Moress ensues while Shingo observes. While using his Megacolony deck to paralyze Naoki's units from standing, Moress tries to demoralize Naoki from continuing the search for Aichi. Naoki almost gives in to despair, but with encouragement from Shingo (who slightly regains his memories) and recalling Kai's words of working together, he recovers his fighting spirit and defeats Moress with a Legion attack. Naoki pressures Moress into telling everything he knows, but he manages to escape. Some time later, Naoki tells Misaki of this incident.

Cardfight!! Vanguard - Season 3 - Episode 10

Shingo tells Naoki about a Cardfight Circle formed in the middle school division of Miyaji Academy. Shingo suggests that the two of them should pay a visit to the circle and build a relationship between it and the Cardfight Club. Naoki agrees, but he is unaware of Shingo's scheme; he plans to use this as his chance to impress the underclassmen and take them under his wing, thereby raising his status over Naoki. The two go to the Cardfight Circle's clubroom where they meet Emi and Mai, who are two of the three members of the circle. Naoki and Mai play a friendly match, in which Naoki shockingly loses to Mai's Bermuda Triangle deck. After the game, he asks her for advice in a somewhat intimidating fashion. But this earns him to be reprimanded by Misaki, who later enters with Aichi. Not knowing that Aichi and Emi are siblings, Shingo gets offended when he hears Emi talking to Aichi in a casual manner, which causes her to get mad with Shingo. This leads to a cardfight pitting Emi, using a PR♥ISM-themed Bermuda Triangle deck, against Shingo, who is using a Narukami deck this time. Although Shingo deals 5 damage to her, Emi nonetheless uses the Break Ride of PR♥ISM-Image, Vert to empower her vanguard PR♥ISM-Promise, Labrador and then returns three of her rear-guards to her hand. She then activates the Limit Break of Labrador to call three rear-guards from her hand to the field, which gives Labrador more power and critical value. Along with getting a critical trigger, Emi thoroughly defeats Shingo. Just as he requests for Aichi to avenge him, Ultra Rare's Rekka Tatsunagi appears in a Miyaji Academy uniform.

#33 - Farandole of Reminiscence and Labyrinths

Dance with Devils - Season 1 - Episode 6

Ritsuka finds Shiki in the school garden destroying thorned roses with his bare hands. She stops him and Shiki tells her that he was doing so because he thought that she might want to help him. Shiki reveals to Ristuka that he is a fallen angel. He suddenly tells her that he may know the whereabouts of her mother and he offers to take her there. Ristuka is hesitant, due to her previous encounters with the other members of the Student Council, until Azuna interferes. Shiki allows Azuna to accompany them. He takes the girls to a nearby art museum with many hallways like a maze. He disappears and Ritsuka gets separated from Azuna, becoming lost. While wandering around the museum, Ritsuka catches glimpses of her family's past until Shiki grabs her from behind. He tells her to become his, but Ritsuka pushes him away, prompting Shiki to use his powers to freeze her. He threatens to kill her if she doesn't comply, but Azuna intervenes by repelling him with a capsule of holy water. She attempts to exorcise him, but Shiki reveals that he can't be exorcised due to the angel blood within him. Black wings sprout from his back and he attacks the girls, wounding Azuna in the process. As he is about to kill her, Ritsuka convinces him to stop, and he teleports them back to the school garden where they first met. As Shiki begins to leave, Ritsuka asks him if he lied about knowing where her mother is, but he only replies by saying that lies are truth before disappearing.
