I went to McDonald’s for lunch cause today they dropped the Gundam themed burgers and there’s a couple sitting next to me where the girlfriend is explaining the entire timeline of Char’s character to a seemingly uninterested boyfriend LMAO
Wow, this has to be the most extreme thing I've seen a Japanese TCG do recently
No foreigners are allowed to play in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Japan Championship qualifiers EVEN IF THEY LIVE IN JAPAN PERMANENTLY.
Considering Japan's growing foreign population, this is genuinely ridiculous.
This guy wanted to play Yu-Gi-Oh! so bad, he paid for a rental girl service and asked the girl to play YGO with him and kept requesting the same girl to come every time.
After several times, she showed up with her own self-built deck 💀
For comparison, no other TCG I've played (I actively play Vanguard, Shadowverse EVOLVE and on the side Pokémon TCG/Digimon/One Piece) has ever restricted foreign residents of Japan to play in their events that grant a qualification.
Most even allow foreign tourists to play.
Ito-sensei, the creator and author of Cardfight!! Vanguard, was originally Takahashi-sensei's assistant at Studio Dice.
Especially for us Vanguard players, our game would have never existed without Takahashi-sensei.
WE DID IT! 50,000 SUBSCRIBERS!
After almost 8 years of making Cardfight!! Vanguard content we made it this far, and it's thanks to the amazing community that this game has that I could keep going this long - thank you so much!!
The sky's the limit from here on out! On to 100k! 🤩
Thank you so much Bushiroad
@cfvanguard_en
for the incredible gift!! I can’t believe I got a playmat with my name on it 😭🙏
I’m still far away from the Silver Play Button, so it feels incredible to have something tangible for my almost 10 years on YouTube 🥲
Thank you so much!!
Time for the next big chapter!
Today I’m departing to Tokyo for the next 4 years to pursue my Ph.D. degree - there’s gonna be lots of firsts and nostalgia combined, but I’m really excited for this new big step 😤
今日からまた東京に引越します!
The more Yu-Gi-Oh! kids cry about Vanguard the more people learn of Vanguard, so it's a W in my books 🤠
Anyway check out these non-family friendly pieces of art
You will never catch me touching a game that has GameStudio involvement in it ever again.
I don’t know how Bushiroad hires them to make the most vibrant CCG in Triple Monsters, let’s them kill it in 8 months and then HIRES THEM AGAIN FOR VANGUARD ZERO
Cursed ass company.
And just as all that lovely news was being revealed, I turned 28!
This last year was a fantastic and very memorable one for me, so looking forward to another year full of growth and great memories.
28歳になりました!
今年もカードゲームもYouTubeなどの活動一生懸命頑張ります👊
I got to meet Kidani-kaichou in person!
I’m very thankful for everything he’s done for Vanguard and all Bushiroad card games. It was truly an honour! 😊
Japanese news are doing interviews with TCG players, and the title next to the interviewees which usually reads [age/gender/job title] is just:
"Duelist"
"Ex-Duelist"
etc.
I feel like the TV staff also have a strong feeling of love towards this hobby, and Takahashi-sensei's work.
discovered the single greatest Yu-Gi-Oh duelist of all time the other day, i could not resist translating his peak anime Shooting Quasar combo and share it with y'all. this is THE real yusei.
Glad so many of you found this entertaining 😂
When I was leaving he was asking her what a good starting point to get into Gundam would be so I'm sure they've got a great vibe going
Anyway check out these cool Gundam-inspired cards from a TCG called Vanguard
There was a lady at McDonalds sorting her Vanguard pulls in one hand and eating a burger in the other
This game got EVERYONE out here first thing in the morning
I know this is gonna sound weird, but one day, my whole world changed. You see, cards started dropping from the sky, coming down like rain. At first we didn't know where they were coming from or who sent them. We only knew they were more than just ordinary playing cards. And it w
On the 7th of October 2013, the 1st episode of Gundam Build Fighters aired. It ran for 25 episodes and did well enough to spawn a sequel, manga, light novels, spinoffs, ONAs & spiritual successors. It debuted in SRW Cross Omega in 2018.
Happy 10th Anniversary 🎉
Finally got to meet the creator of Vanguard himself, Itou-sensei!
Really happy I could thank him for creating this wonderful franchise that’s brought us so much joy over the years 🥰

All the mechanics for the Shadowverse EVOLVE x Cardfight!! Vanguard collab set just got revealed, so here's a thread summarising all the mechanics that you need to know!

🧵🧵🧵
Today I learned that there's a guy on r/Gunpla that has been going around making Gunpla kitbashes of every Dragonic Overlord form.
Actually looks incredible.
The power level of Standard VG is so nice in the way that the Tier 1 decks are beatable by lower tier decks purely through knowing the matchup and knowing how to counterplay effectively.
I wish more players spent more time learning matchups than complaining on social media 🥲
You know how they sealed Blaster Blade, Blaster Dark and Dragonic Overlord in Asia Circuit and then proceeded to not print any support for those clans all season long?
What if DivineZ seals the OT in episode 1 bro
Finally submitted my application for a really big scholarship opportunity, which I've been working on for the last few weeks. If all goes well, I may just be able to pursue my Ph.D. degree in Japan next year - fingers crossed!
Happy to announce that I’ve been chosen as one of the Shadowverse: Evolve English Ambassadors!
As someone that plays both the Japanese and English editions, I’ll do my best to bring the two communities together and better inform the English side based on what we know from Japan!
Yu-Gi-Oh! was the first ever Trading Card Game I played back in 1st Grade.
Takahashi-sensei's work is responsible for my lifelong interest in this genre from a young age.
Without his work, I don't think TCGs would have ever become this popular.
Rest in Peace, King of Games...
Urara being voiced both in Japanese and English by Kagami Karin is the perfect timeline
I genuinely don't know any other VAs that voice the same character in both dub & sub
It honestly makes me really happy to see how big Vanguard’s community has gotten on this platform.
Just seeing an art post or a random meme get over 500 likes in mere hours is something I couldn’t imagine 5 years ago, and I’m glad our community is seen in a positive light too 🥰
It genuinely feels like I'm dreaming.
My two favourite things in the world united just feels unbelievable.
I'll make sure to work hard as both a Shadowverse Evolve Ambassador and Cardfight!! Vanguard YouTuber to make sure people from both sides can fully enjoy this collab.
I’m still buying and gonna be covering Dear Days extensively on my platforms, and as someone that bought a Japanese 3DS just to play the old games the price doesn’t deter me as much, but just thinking about how unapproachable this game is for new players is nuts.
For the newer players getting interested in all this Luard talk - it's genuinely one of the coolest and most interesting decks of the G Era.
There's a whole documentary on how it went from rogue/mid to top tier I highly recommend you watch!
VANGUARD IS GONNA BE SERIALIZED IN COROCORO COMICS STARTING NEXT YEAR?!
I don’t even know how to start explaining how HUGE this is, this might be responsible for an entire new generation of players
"Important things for card gamers:
- Clothes
- Taking care of your nails
- Body odor prevention
- Bad breath prevention
And finally, after that:
- Deck
- Sleeves
- Playmat"
Bushiroad of 2018 took resurfaced video evidence of cheating from 3 years back, reviewed it and said "no exceptions".
"Despite the incident taking place two years ago", a proper punishment was still served.
Please don't make my favourite card game look like a joke in 2024.
📰 Announcement 📰
We have been made aware of a case of repeated improper shuffling during the Bushiroad Championship Series 2023 World Finals and have investigated the case.
