THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Compared to last week's episode, this episode was way more jam-packed with action and game mechanics. We see Misaki cardfight for the first time, and she ends up sweeping Aichi even if it's her first fight, introducing mechanics such as draw triggers and level 3's. Seems like there's a lot about this game that's yet to be revealed, so it'll be interesting to see how the mechanics of Vanguard develops.

Kai's dragon was also level 3, and Morikawa had a ton of them as well, but they weren't really formally introduced the way they were this episode, especially with the twin drive.

I want the vice-manager (the cat of course) to become the main character >_>

The battle of today was more interesting than the others, it's becoming cool if they'll always play like this :)
Misaki-san Kakkoii!

Great episode! I was so shocked Aichi lost, O-O I'm used to the whole "protagonist ALWAYS wins" on yugioh, wow. That girl rocks and the fight was really interesting!

I was also surprised that a female character defeated the protagonist. Like the other person said, in YGO it never happened before or other similar franchises.

But I didn't expect that Misaki never duel before, I was expecting her to have some more experience, besides looking at the others duels.

I always wondered why he never brought out a level 3,
it's cause he never had one.
I used to believe the brain was the most important organ in the body.
Then I realized - - Look what's telling me that.

Awsome fight, I like Aichi's determination, atleast its starting to build, its sure going great for the begginging. Misaki was a wonderful fighter, and obviously too much for Aichi, I wouldn't call her a begginger, she's in that store everyday.

I got an idea from this match,what if the fighters switched their deck for a match, so your playing against your own cards. And the obective to winning is you have to lose, your cards have to win. You play to win with your enemies deck, but your ulitimatly supposed to loose to your deck in the enimes hand. Rules are you have to play exactly like their your cards you're trying to win with.

That would suck, since it would show its not the owner's skill that matters, but the deck they have.

This might change in the future but as of episode 4 I am really beginning to like this series.

There is no world altering event dependent on a card came.
There is no school for card games.
No superpowers.
No magic card drawing.
None of these, yet.

Just a trading card game for fun and profit.

Aichi should have fused buster blade, activated his trap or used his spell cards...oh wait! Well at least card effects actually put strategy in the game^^

I think this is the best episode so far, exciting to know that there is more to the game than this.

Hot and badass. Misaki for my favorite character in the series so far. I'm glad Aichi lost tbh. Those grade 3's are pretty strong..

You will be surprised at win lost ratio here.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

I assume Aichi wins about half the time, and loses the other. :P

Misaki is way cool and it was good to see more game mechanics. The game seems so much more exciting now! Wasn't expecting Aichi to have such a complete defeat, but I like that the protagonist actually loses once in a while. And I'm thinking Kai went easy on Aichi before...

I kind of wish we got to see more of the battles between the card characters-- I wanna see their designs up close. Especially Misaki's cards this episode; I really like the designs for Amaterasu and Oracle Guardian and Silent Tom... and all of Misaki's cards basically. I'm hoping they'll do more with the characters later on in the show.

So Misaki was Vanguard-virgin? However she is awesome and natural in this. Definitely the best character.
The manager skillfully donate-baited Aichi for buying more cards. Still waiting for some kind of tournament.
