#1 - Clan Leader Mamoru
Cardfight!! Vanguard - Season 5 - Episode 16
Tokoha gathers Chrono and the rest of the gang for a meeting to brainstorm ideas on what they can do for an upcoming regional Vanguard festival. When Chrono suggests a takoyaki stand, everyone agrees to do it. The festival eventually begins, and the takoyaki stand turns out to be a success. The others let Chrono, who has surprisingly been working hard this whole time, go enjoy the festival for himself. In the midst of the festivities, Chrono sees Mamoru hard at work himself, doing tasks such as helping attendees, advertising other booths, and cosplaying as Vangaro. Chrono asks why a famous fighter like Mamoru would have festivals and do grunt work when there can instead be tournaments. Mamoru responds that festivals are great in gathering people together and teaching them about Vanguard, which he feels is more important than tournaments. The festival's main event starts, in which players line up, form a group of three, and then simultaneously battle against Mamoru before the next group steps up to fight him. As reward for their work, Chrono and his friends are given special privilege to participate in this event, except Tokoha, who opts out of it. However, Kumi gets an emergency call and rushes back home while requesting Tokoha to take her place. Subsequently, it is time for the trio of Chrono, Shion, and a reluctant Tokoha to fight Mamoru. Nonetheless, like the other fighters before them, they are defeated but given a round of applause from the audience for their efforts. As the festival comes to a close, Chrono and Shion are glad to have fought Mamoru despite losing, and Tokoha invites them to folk dancing around a campfire.

#2 - Beautiful Nagisa
Cardfight!! Vanguard - Season 5 - Episode 8
Chrono meets a girl who Kamui is all too familiar with: Nagisa Daimonji. She may have matured, but her romantic feelings for Kamui have stayed strong over the years. She has even gone so far as to make a quest for fighters (Team Trinity Dragon) to get Kamui to play against her. Kamui tries his best to escape, but he is eventually cornered by Nagisa and Trinity Dragon. Chrono appears in Kamui's defense after accepting his quickly-made quest to protect him from Nagisa. However, Chrono is deceived by Nagisa's (false) "tragic love story" and sides with her while Kamui manages to enlist Trinity Dragon to his aid. After this whole debacle, Kamui finally decides to fight Nagisa. If he wins, then Nagisa will leave him alone at the shop. But if Nagisa wins, then she and Kamui will get married. Despite Nagisa's luck in getting triggers, Kamui manages to defeat her, although she will most likely return.
#3 - Kamui Katsuragi
Cardfight!! Vanguard - Season 5 - Episode 2
Chrono revisits Card Capital 2, meets Shin Nitta, and then talks with Kamui about his Gear Chronicle deck. Then, after meeting Team Trinity Dragon, Chrono is given a Fighter's Card ("Fica" for short) by Kamui, who also tells him about the Federation of International Vanguard Association (FIVA). It is an organization that supports Vanguard fighters, and through its Vanguard Network, it allows fighters to accept quests, gain points, and raise their grades. Accompanied by Kamui, Chrono and Team Trinity Dragon compete with each other in a quest from a young boy who wants them to find his lost card. They eventually discover the card was stolen by a crow and chase it down. Both Chrono and Tsuneto Tado, the leader of Team Trinity Dragon, grab the card but refuse to let the other take it. So, Kamui decides to have them settle things with a cardfight. After much teasing from Tsuneto about his name, Chrono defeats him, gives the card back to the boy, and completes the quest, thus gaining points and increasing his grade. Afterwards, Chrono and Kamui return to Card Capital 2, where Chrono has his first introduction to Misaki Tokura, who is now the owner of the Card Capital store line.
