Kouji leads an elite team, including TRY3, on a mission to infiltrate Ryuzu's lab to retrieve both his Depend Cards and the units that he had summoned from Cray.

Chrono and Kouji are furthered separated from Kamui, Tokoha, and Shion; those three wind up in battles against the other Company members, which consists of the enigmatic Sousuke Wakamizu, the Dark Zone branch chief Satoru Enishi, and Shouma. Meanwhile, Chrono and Kouji come face-to-face with Ryuzu. He reveals his ambition to gather specific units called the Zodiac Time Beasts to open the Stride Gate, which he believes will perfect the world. Ultimately, the Company successfully stalls for enough time to transport the Time Beasts to another location and escape.

#2 - Dark Zone's Trap
Cardfight!! Vanguard - Season 6 - Episode 21
TRY3 takes on their last G Quest at the Dark Zone Branch. This time, the goal is to ascend a maze tower within a time limit. However, instead of participating, players can instead choose to be "creatures" to stop TRY3 and special guest Rummy Labyrinth from completing this quest and be handsomely rewarded if successful. This naturally makes all the other fighters want to become creatures, thus making TRY3 and Rummy Labyrinth the only participants in the quest. As the quest goes on, Tokoha, Shion, and Am all decide to stay behind to let their respective teammates Chrono and Luna make their way to the top. As they both reached the top before the time limit expired, there is a final fight between Chrono and Luna. Meanwhile, Shion fights Am and confirms that she is Ace. In the end, despite Luna's strong feelings, Chrono wins and awakens his last Depend Card in the process. With that, TRY3 complete all of the G Quests with a perfect record. Afterwards, Kouji approaches TRY3 and gives the team an invitation to the G Quest Ultimate Stage.

#3 - Hidden Fighting Spirit
Cardfight!! Vanguard - Season 3 - Episode 16
The Vanguard Fight High School Championship finally begins with the Miyaji Cardfight Club having to attend the Kanto regional qualifiers. In the waiting room, the club sees Fukuhara's and Hitsue's Vanguard teams. In particular, Hitsue's team has a surprisingly strong look of determination to win the entire tournament. The first round pits Miyaji Academy against Hitsue High in a best-of-3 match. In the first game, Kai defeats Shingo, which puts Hitsue up 1-0. The second game features Miwa vs. Misaki. For the sake of his teammates, the typically-carefree Miwa goes all out with the Limit Break of Hellfire Seal Dragon, Blockade Inferno to retire all of Misaki's grade 2 rear-guards and gain a significant amount of power. Misaki completely defends herself, but she is left with a weakened battle formation. Nonetheless, on her next turn, Misaki rides Goddess of Good Luck, Fortuna and reassembles her forces. She also activates Fortuna's Limit Break to perform three drive checks and manages to get two drive triggers to increase her overall power, ultimately winning the game and tying the score 1-1. For the third and final game that will decide which team will advance through the tournament, Aichi and Izaki must fight each other.
#4 - Steel Neve
Cardfight!! Vanguard - Season 4 - Episode 7
Kai regains consciousness and tries to go warn his friends about the Quatre Knights. Meanwhile, Misaki and Naoki are walking through a park where they discover a man playing with a few cats, including the Assista-cat. The man reveals himself as Phillip Neve, one of the Quatre Knights who wants to stop them from finding Aichi. Refusing to fight Misaki, Neve accepts Naoki's challenge. Like Gaillard, Neve creates a field called the Steel Wall Prison in which he and Naoki cardfight. Naoki gains the upper hand after using Legion with Brawler, Big Bang Knuckle Dragon and Big Bang Slash Dragon while destroying almost all of Neve's rear-guards, but Neve is unimpressed. He responds by performing his own Legion with Metal Borg, Sin Buster and Uru Buster while preventing Naoki from using a perfect guard to nullify the Legion attack, resulting in Naoki's defeat and causing the prison to inflict direct damage to him. Then, Misaki tries to challenge Neve, but Kai arrives and tells her to not do it. After Neve leaves, Kai, Misaki, and Naoki go to Hitsue High School and find Miwa, who is wounded after being attacked by another Quatre Knight.
