Cardfight Vanguard Card Lores

[Ren «Я»]

A warrior of the "Revengers", who have vowed to protect the Sanctuary from the clutches of the invaders. He is an ancient Dragon Warrior who looks like he is the embodiment of wrath and rage. He was a great knight who served in the days when "Phantom Blaster Dragon" reigned as the Guardian Dragon, so when Phantom Blaster fell, the two of them parted ways. However, he ended up getting taken over by the power of darkness that overtook him when he parted from his friend, and turned into an Abyss Dragon. He found himself completely disillusioned with the entire world and nearly let himself be killed by soldiers of the Empire, but was saved by "Soul Saver Dragon" who has become the next generation's Guardian Dragon. Afterwards, he swore he would one day again protect the Sanctuary, and fell into a seemingly eternal slumber in order to heal the wounds inflicted to his body and soul. However, upon awakening, he chose the path that led to him becoming a shadow, not a knight of the Guardian Dragon once more. It might be his way of admitting he can't entirely refuse the darkness. While the darkness is darkness, he has decided to conquer despair with despair. To all the disasters that would befall the sanctuary, this raging shadow will grant them despair equal to the despair they would give others.

Who are the Revengers?

A team of resolute warriors who are determined to repel the invaders, chosen among the knights of the clan "Shadow Paladin", which work behind the scenes of United Sanctuary. Despite being frequently assigned to dangerous tasks, they do not gain honor, glory, or fame from their work, so there are few members in this team. Nevertheless, since all of them are elites with unparalleled willpower and faith, they have become a disciplined force with high degree of perfection.

Link Joker of Present Times

"Link Joker", the invaders of the planet Cray, lost the war and failed to fulfill their objectives. Their directions have been divided into three. The "Star-vaders" managed to escape from the planet despite their heavy casualties. They were not utterly eliminated and some of their commanders remained unscathed. Hiding somewhere in the universe, they were probably preparing another invasion. For the "Deletors", who are bizzare beings lurking on the wandering star "Brandt", their number had been significantly reduced, but they were still wandering in the universe and preying on other lifeforms.

The Link Jokers left on the planet Cray would have faced their inevitable destruction. However, under the Messiahs' will of "Harmony and Regeneration", now, they would take actions as new lifeforms---

Omniscience Regalia, Minerva



     She is one of the creators of Cray. It was recorded that her power was so mighty that she was called the primordial goddess of war. Though she created Cray with love more than anyone and dreamed to watch over the planet forever, one day, she learnt that her existence added burden to Cray. Despite this fact, she wished to stay with the planet, she restricted her power, soul and body and sealed herself inside a statue. After slumbering for a long time, a beam of light reached her eyes. The light became stronger and covered her field of vision, until she stood on the ground with her own feet again. Slept beside her was the new owner of "Glory Genesis", the Regalia which was once her belonging.

     With mixed feelings, the goddess of war descended to the human world again, in order to root out the fools who pose harm to her children.

Let's rise this again

Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion "THE BLOOD"

This is Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion's evolved form, after it had incorporated the "Blood of the Dragon Emperor" into its body to forcefully unleash all the power slumbering within it. The Blood of the First Dragon Emperor is said to contain immeasurable strength, strength so powerful that the bearer is able to kill weaklings by just flaring up their aura. It is a forbidden treasure that burns out even the bearer's life in exchange for a temporary burst of incredible power. He drank the cursed blood, which everyone called a treasure but actually feared it, until the very last drop without any hesitation. For Vermillion, "Death" is unworthy of its fear. It only fears itself being defeated on the battlefield, and the loss of the Dragon Empire. The Dragon Emperor burns its own life, in order to pave the way to defeat the Blazing Lion, the Ancient Tear Dragon, and the unknown invader.

"Go forth, my brethren! Your swords and your fangs shall pierce through those who stand in our way!!!"~

Phantom Blaster Overlord

As the despair of United Sanctuary grew, the great powers of darkness took on the shape of the Dragon of Hell, Phantom Blaster Dragon. Its true form is a complete mystery to all, but it was actually one of the ancient guardian dragons that had protected and watched over United Sanctuary from time immemorial. Because of this long history, it was able to see into the hearts of thousands upon tens of thousands of people, and what it saw had warped its soul, and it is said that it threw himself into a deep and dark abyss that reached into the netherworld. The Guardian's fate has now become to destroy everything that stands before it. All that remains in its heart is an unending ceaseless maelstrom of despair.

Trivia

• This is the first unit that can be supported by three different archetypes, since this unit's name includes "Phantom", "Blaster" and "Overlord". In fact, this card's name consists entirely of the names of archetypes.
• This card's japanese flavor text from FC02, 「幻すら見られぬ、闇より暗き、闇の力…！」, translated as "Phantom cannot even sense it, darker than the dark, the power of darkness...!" is a reference from Suzugamori Ren's ride chant when he rode this card in Cardfight!! Vanguard: Season 1.

Supremacy Dragon, Claret Sword Dragon

A knight of the black knights "Shadow Paladin" that lives in the darkness of the holy nation. It is called by the name of "Claret Sword" due to its sword that is stained as red as blood. It holds the belief that "might makes right," and although it belongs to the knights that "support the holy nation from the shadows", it disagrees with that idea.

[sie.akashi32]

Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion

The Commander of the First Air-force Division "Narukami". Bearing the title of “Kaiser”, he is said to possess the powers that are expected of the reincarnation of an ancient dragon emperor. Everyone admits he is the strongest soldier in the ranks, with power that is equal to, and some say even greater than, that of “Dragonic Overlord”. He hates being on center stage and prefers to attack from behind the scenes, but when he became a part of Narukami, he was put in an unusual situation where he now stands out at the front of the battlefield. The violent attack of his roaring red thunder “Vermillion Thunderbolt” is reminiscent of the apocalyptic lightning that rained down upon Cray in ancient times long since lost to the sands of history, driving every possible meaning of despair into all enemies who stand before him.

Death Star-vader, Quintessence Dragon

It is a semi-mechanical dragon created by "Link Joker" in a world of the distant future. Its body is formed by "Quintessence"---the fifth element that is beyond the four elements that form everything in the world.

"Infinite Zero Dragon", after total annexation of Planet Cray, descended to an unknown planet and obtained the element of which existence had been susceptible. Infinite Zero imbued its mana to fuel the element's activation, and the element, sizing less than 0.1 nm, expanded abruptly.

Following a unique rule that is totally different to that of cell division in organisms, the element formed its body at a drastic speed. The amorphous body differentiated its eye only, and read the information gained from its eye---and then, like melting mercury, it transformed into the form of a distorted dragon. The transformation was complete several seconds after the expansion.

Infinite Zero, having gained the mightiest soldier known as "Death Star-vader" later, achieved military success that surpasses the Clown's, and it was promoted from the forerunner "Star-vader" to a commander of the main force.

Planets targeted by the invaders are given only two choices, to "surrender and obey", or to "resist and perish". That which tremble the eardrums of residents dwelling in planets doomed to be destroyed, is an unspeakably tremendous sound. That is the ominous dragon's roar of joy that overshadows all sound in the world.

Magnum Assault

It is the general name of the "Magnum" troop's soldiers, known to possess excellent skills of using heavy firearms even in the sense of "Aqua Force". For the heavy firearms of "Aqua Force", the description "heavy" isn't determined by the size or weight of a weapon, but the difficulty of using it. Simply put, the Magnum Assaults serve the extra role of testing experimental weapons. They have contributed a lot to the development of a variety of armaments, and it is said that the miniaturization of hydro engines would cost several hundreds of years more if they didn't exist. In the initial stages of developing weapons, many designers don't care about the safety of the users, so it is very risky to use weapons in these stages. For this, many members of the Magnum troop are assigned to the troop because of their wild and destructive nature. They enjoy using powerful weapons, and making them testers of experimental weapons is an optimal choice for both the soldiers and the army leaders. These soldiers put their own lives on the second priority, and their first priority is, after all, thrill.

One WHo Surpasses the Storm, Thavas

"Aquaroid" and "Lost Numbers"

The latest aquaroid is of the 621st generation. Among the many generations of aquaroids, there are some generations deleted from the official records due to failure in development. These generations are known as the "Lost Numbers". Among the Lost Numbers, the 555th generation is referred in many stories because aquaroids of this generation are known to possess power beyond expectation. The development project of the 555th generation was terminated only because the aquaroids of the 555th generation were too powerful and that they were feared to become kindlings of rebellion.

Chronojet Dragon

Controller of Stride

"We'll start. Izaya!"

Most undiscovered lands of planet Cray are located in Dark Zone. Many ancient technologies and treasure vaults can be found in this nation. Nonetheless....

"Hey, Rigil. You too, come here quickly."

"I have no interest in gravedigging. Hadar, after all you..."

"Senior Rigil! Let's finish it quick, then smash it clear!"

"If you help it straight, it will end soon."

"...I will lend you a hand. Thank me."

Even structures that would have been treated as cultural heritages in other nations are nothing more than prey for gravediggers in this nation without laws.

"...This is, eerie."

"There are cogs surrounding it...is it a gear?"

"I've neeever seen gears this laaarge."

"Alright. I feel no mana within it. Let's go to the next quickly---"

But, as the term "undiscovered lands" denote, it is a secret realm where none have treaded upon. One must consider all possible dangers when entering such places.

"Kk! What's happening!?"

"It suddenly started glowing!"

"Izaya, Rigil, fall back! My intuition- This thing is, dangerous!"

The three gravediggers ran away, leaving the huge gear behind. Perhaps as a result of swift determination, nothing stranger occured.

However, the fleeing trio couldn't notice that someone's eyes were glowing in the light emitted by the gear.

(Pla...Cray...Cosmic Calendar is...Year...Stability Level...C...Requires Attention...Chro...)

From that day onward, no one on Cray could foretell that the ruin would become the center of the incident.

Present day. The time which is long enough for generations to pass is merely trivial to the ruins, changing the ruins only slightly by the addition of lichen.

"Greetings, chosen warrior from the Sanctuary. I am Uluru, one who speaks for the master, Lord Chrono Jet Dragon."

The voice of "Uluru", lowering her head, was mismatchingly cold with regard to the lichen-covered ruins.

"Chosen warrior...can you explain it one by one, please?"

Comparatively, the voice of "Altmile" was filled with doubts. Of course he would. Because he was separated from his comrades and dragged to this strange place.

"As you said. We induce you to this place to confirm if you are suitable to know it."

Uluru nodded her head, like she had already known what "Altmile" would say.

"I shall tell you. About 'Gear Chronicle'. About everything the incident occurs in this world."

"That's it."

"Haa---Gear Chronicle."

In the training grounds of United Sanctuary's capital. Aside the training knights are two men, chatting while walking.

"And Altmile. Y'er strong, y'er clever, y've got guts."

After encountering "Gear Chronicle", Altmile followed Uluru's instructions, and left the ruins by stepping into the mist. By so, the broadly-covering mist disappeared, and he converged with his comrades waiting outside.

"But...y' explain poorly."

After that, many members of the expedition stayed at the border town for defense, while Altmile and several members returned to the capital to report this occurrence.

"The keypoint's something like this? Those guys came to Cray to mend the distorted spacetime, didn't they? Stride hit there, and they simply couldn't even dream of it."

"If Stride occurs when they're mending the stuff, everything's screwed up, so th' gonna teach the good kids how to control Stride first."

"And, y' caused the first Stride, so y're chosen as this nation's rep. They come to the capital to teach you, and the're gonna drop in to say hello to the king."

After Altmile reported to the superiors, he found "Susanoo" as the temporary swordsmanship mentor. As Susanoo was trusted heavily by the Grandmaster of the Order, Altmile found it suitable to tell Susanoo the story, and it came to now.

"Exactly."

"Exactly...Nah! That's something finish-able in three minutes, and you use ONE DEADLY HOUR to say it!"

"My apologies. I haven't cleared my mind yet, and I was thinking from what I should speak of."

"Fine, that's it. Bein' matter-of-fact's also your forte. Yet..."

As if sensing something, Susanoo turned his face from Altmile and headed the front.

"They're so intense. Wha, it's good if they make things really fun."

Let's turn back to several days after Altmile left the ruins.

"That guy's one of the representatives. How do you think, Burnham?"

"Hmm, let's see. Isn't he somehow not reliable enough though? He's nothing more than a good-looking greenhorn. Just for that look."

"You're simply jealous because he looks cooler than you."

"I'm not jealous. Silence, Tauge!"

In the site of ruins, the young boys wearing strange equipment were chatting. They were members who had watched the talk between Altmile and Chrono Jet Dragon through the Gates in the residence.

"Burnham, please keep your voice low. You are in front of the master."

"Oh, so scary. If I oppose Madame Uluru, she will fly to..."

Suddenly, a brilliantly reflecting blade stood aside the neck of Burnham. Burnham was shocked without even screaming a sound.

"H, hi, Madame Elul. You have returned."

"Any last words?"

"W, w, w, wait! I am not insulting Madame Uluru..."

"Elul, stop it."

As Uluru spoke it clearly, Elul lowered her sword and stood near Uluru. As Amber was about to tease Burnham, Elul gave him a hard look. Amber was just as shocked as Burnham was.

"Then, I will hear your reports later. First, I will speak the words of Master."

"From now on, Master and I will tell Sir Altmile, the first representative, about the miracle---everything about Stride."

"Chrono Jet Dragon", standing still behind Uluru, moved his hand horizontally. From that, magical circles appeared, and formed the Gate glowing with seven colours.

"Every one of you will search and select the representatives around the world, just as you have done before."

"Should Stride occur, please pay special attention to the surroundings."

"And, as a consequence of Stride, the distortion of spacetime progresses, so it is more likely for high-ranked beings to emerge."

"In case you sense danger, leave the place immediately and report to me."

As the enormous magic circle continued to enlarge,

"In which case, I wish you a good fight."

It engulfed the duo and vanished.

"You are, Uluru..."

Altmile was surprised by Uluru's sudden appearance. Uluru smiled to the surprised knight, and just like their previous encounter, she lowered her head politely.

"Long time no see, Sir Altmile. And this mister is..."

"Hi, pretty girl. I am a god of this nation. It's fine to revere me."

"I know you, Lord Susanoo. For several of your acts are found on scripts."

"Wow, I'm more famous than I thought."

"Then, I shall come before His Majesty..."

She stopped suddenly.

"...What is happening, Master?"

From the expression of Uluru, Susanoo noticed. That she was communicating with her comrades with methods he didn't know.

"What's happened?"

Uluru replied Susanoo's question with a shocking answer, yet her voice was still too calm.

"In Dragon Empire, Stride just occurred on an unheard scale. Several square-kilometres of earth was scorched to ashes."

"What!?"

The continuation of horrifying news restrained Altmile from speaking. Contrastingly, Susanoo calmed down asked the lady again.

"And, what'll your guys do?"

To that simplest question.

"There is no need to worry."

She linked it with a short answer.

"For our master has headed over there."

In the eastern lands of Dragon Empire, there "had been" gorgeous mountains and a beautiful view. Just several minutes ago.

"Prosperity to those who follow my will. The inferno of judgement to those who oppose me!"

Mountains, forests, villages, all the surroundings on the land were burning insanely. Lightened by the flame was a red dragon with an elongated body comparable to great rivers.

"I am the Flame Emperor! I am the Dragon King! The primodial flame, Root Flare is here!"

Yet in this space surrounded by ferocious blazes, there was a place where flame couldn't touch. The fire evaded the gear-like magic circle. No, the fire was evading the peculiar dragon flying in front of the magic circle.

"What art thou?"

The red dragon spoke to the peculiar dragon, who stood short before the enormous Root Flare. Instead of words, the peculiar dragon looked at Root Flare and moved his hand.

And at that moment, the view changed in a sudden.

The flame extinguished, the forest returned verdant green, and the mountains stood still---that was the original form of this land.

"What art thou hath done...?"

The red dragon couldn't hide his surprise, and tried to ensnare the peculiar dragon. But at that moment, the magic circle appeared again, and this time, it was large enough to cover the red dragon.

"I have reverted the time of this land to several minutes ago."

The sound was emitted from nowhere except behind the magic circle on the back of the peculiar dragon. Then a gargantuan dragon appeared with a form comparable to the red dragon.

"You have remarkable strength. Even I, 'Chronoscommand', cannot defeat you without suffering."

The mysterious gargantuan dragon---"Chronoscommand Dragon" performed a hand seal, and the red dragon's body was covered by belt-like magic formation that seemed to bind the dragon.

"This is why, I will do this."

As Chronoscommand held his hand tight, the magic formation vanished with the red dragon. After witnessing this, the peculiar dragon spoke nothing but to perform hand seals.

"Those summoned from unstable Gates can be banished by us in this way. But, if the Gates were stabilized, that would become impossible."

Behind them, the Gate opened, and the huge body of Chronoscommand disintegrated, emitting light.

"Remember it clearly. You, and I, are not omnipotent beings."

As the body faded away totally, the Gate closed and the magic circle shrunk to nothing. The peculiar dragon---Chrono Jet Dragon---then disappeared into the Gate he opened.

The curtain of the new era has opened.

Seams of the new world have been opened.

As the seams come apart, war would come to Cray once more.

[Helios]

Nightmare Doll of the Abyss, Beatrix

I'm Beatrix... I'm behind you.

She is one of the "Nightmare Dolls", beings animated by the possession of the grudge of the dead or evil spirits. "Beatrix" is possessed by the grudge of a girl who died young because of her inborn psychic power. The girl is unable to accept the fact that she has died, and her resentment continues to grow in the doll. The Nightmare Doll master sensed the dangerousness of her uncontrollability, and sealed her into the prison called "Abyss", to buy time for seeking a way to control her.

As time passes, since the incident of "Interdimensional Crosstalk", the existence of Beatrix has been witnessed in various time axes and places. It seems that her amplified psychic power surpasses dimensions and time, making her an elusive being. None could tell why she appears from and disappears to nowhere, whether it is due to Stride controlled by someone or Beatrix's own will.

If you sense that you are being gazed at on a moonlit night, perhaps she is standing behind you...


So far, one of may favorites. It is so dark and I just love it.

[Sirvat]

She is one of the great spellcasters of "Oracle Think Tank" in the distant future. In "a future that may exist", Oracle Think Tank has grown into a conglomerate that grasps the information of not only the planet, but also the whole universe. For this, they assign spellcasters of high combat ability in security departments to protect their important "goods". One of these spellcasters is "Mimi", with the title "the Great Spellcaster of Flowers". Her technique "Flower Light Geyser", by releasing extraordinary amount of mana, is powerful enough to obliterate an asteroid. For this, her "asking for a favor" is equal to "threatening her targets to surrender". She bears the role to transport important information from the headquarter in the Sanctuary to divisions in the universal space, and she is always aimed by the rivals of the conglomerate. Even so, none has ever managed to steal even one mana information storage device from her and her comrades. That is because perfect security is the strong foundation to support the conglomerate's credibility.

[NeoBuster]

True Eradicator: Finish Blow Dragon!

The empire ruled by dragons---he is an "Eradicator" of the Dragon Empire in the distant future. None know of how far from the future he comes from, and he was granted the title "True Eradicator", meaning the Eradicator among Eradicators, by the emperor of that time, for his achievement of slaying the enemies' supreme commander in a great war to which the fate of the Empire was put at stake.

He performs his secret technique "Finish Blow Volt Rush" by imbuing his own fighting aura into his weapon "Kongousou (Diamond Claws)" and releasing it as thunderbolts, of which power is hundreds of times that of natural lightning bolts. This is a finishing move that utilizes his ceaselessly overflowing fighting aura.

He is now praised as an upright and respectful warrior of irreproachable conducts, but in the past, he had been feared by even his comrades as an exceptional Wrecker, and "Gauntlet Buster Dragon" and him had been crazy companions who competed with each other for a number of enemies they had "wreaked havoc with". Although they had parted ways when Gauntlet Buster left the troop during an incident that greatly changed the way of Eradicators, he feels his heart leap with excitement whenever their heated fights of that time come into his mind.

There are things that change, and there are things never change. Seeing him who is praised as a hero, none would link him to the word "Wrecker". Yet, even now, he calls himself the Wrecker proudly. "Yes, I am the most fearsome and deadliest Wrecker, one who devastates the enemies' future until nothing is left."

[kukuchan]

Genesis Dragon, Excelics Messiah

It is one of the possibilities of "Neon Messiah" who awoke as "The One Who Evolves" in order to bring harmony to the world. Like "Amnesty Messiah", it is unknown if Excelics Messiah and the "Messiah" of the current timepoint are identical entities. According to the secret investigation of "Gear Chronicle", Excelics Messiah is a mysterious being which cannot be detected in all time axes and dimensions, just like Amnesty Messiah. However, from the observation that its emergence causes almost no disturbances to the spacetime, it is not likely a forbidden being like "Aurageyser Doomed".

By the way, the investigations about the enigmatic races in Star Gate launched by the Holy Nation and "Gear Chronicle" have been suspended, so there are very few that know about the existence of those races.
