[Sub][Episode 1] CARDFIGHT!! VANGUARD Divinez - Fated One of Miracles 

Halfway in, and our new protagonist punched a plushie. I love him already.

Now THIS is how you open up a new season! Man hearing "Imagine it" after so long.

In the previous 5 seasons, we didn't get to see the starting grade 0s or any of the ones in the rideline in action (except the grade 3s). The fact that they actually animated the grade 0s is already a win in my book.

13:35 The most realistic reaction of a protagonist of a children's card game

DivineZ has gone back to the roots of "Image" in vanguard! Why did that bring a tear???

Divorced parents? Ill sister? Learning a new card game to join a competition in hopes of helping said sister? Akina is Joey Wheeler!

Only one episode in and Akina might be my favourite protagonist in Vanguard's history! His compassion towards his sister and others is so sweet, you can see how much he cares for others! Even in the opening, you see Akina giving Suo his Umbrella to stop getting wet by the rain, that's just the kind of man Akina is. Akina punching Gab Kamijou Touma style was also based and I can't stop watching it! Given how people have bought up the Fate nods with DivneZ, I love how they went all in with it with Akina's dad being seen as a Hero of Justice by his sister. Very much gives me Shirou Emiya/Kiritsugu vibes! I look forward to seeing where the rest of the season goes.

So they say 6 fighters, but we have an observer. This season already seems to be a huge thrill, and i love the "fate" type of storyline. Cant wait for more!

This felt like a call back to the first episode of the first season of vanguard! specially when his mentor is like imagine where on the planet cray! ooh goosebumps

THE VANGUARD HOLY GRAIL WAR BEGINS NOW

I was worried that Akina's personality would suck. But now I my worries are gone. Akina is a cool protagonist.

I love at the start: Main Character: "Why is everybody acting like such weirdo's?" XD

Possessed doll: *exists* Main Character: *decks it in the face* FINALY an MC with a brain!

It's great to see the fantasy elements of Vanguard return to the spotlight. It was one of the main reasons I got into the game in the first place.

Yeah judging by this! They really did listen to the feedback from Over/Willdress, so HAPPY cray and its supernatural elements are OFFICIALLY BACK and not just teased forever lmao. This is gonna be so good!!!

26:25 Oh no poor Akina…the addiction has begun

lowkey ngl this 1st episode really broke all the standards like it’s so good already and i really hope it’s not rushed because the story already sounds amazing like it reminds me of the original vanguard by showing us cray interacting with units and etc

This is such a pleasant surprise I thought it'd be much longer until we got any episode this year and holy crap I love this so much, seeing Masanori and Megumi again fills my heart, of course I'm glad to see Raika again too pulling out another dub, but my favorite part WAS THE RIDE ANIMATION like it was straight out of the OG! I'm looking forward to this so much!

Vanguard’s Holy Grail War 🙏🏼

The first episode of Vanguard Divinez was amazing. Akina seems like a great protagonist so far. I can’t wait to see more of Divinez. Also Kai (Nao) is technically back

10:16 a reminder that Masanori is a monk as a day job. I love him

Yay the full animated battles are back and I’m hyped for this and the supernatural element has returned

Amazing. Feels like Vanguard is almost going back to its roots. Or the episode felt like that anyway.

The DivineZ Episode was glorious it's a mix of OG and G Vanguard Full Animated Units, Kamen Rider Ryuki and Kamen Rider Geats + time leap of Chrono stuff, and Fate vibes. I'm so excited for Full Fight Tutorial Episode Next week.

Much better start than Od/W+D Can't believe it took re-aiming for the kids for us to get decent looking and feeling Vanagurd again. High hopes for this new holy grail war

Im just glad this feels refreshing. I skip entirely of Wdress and go straight for this one. And it just gives nostalgia. I wanna see more of this

16:43 Akina: "How can the ships make noise in space?" Gabwelius: "You've accepted the talking raccoon haven't you?" Akina: "The talking raccoon is genetically modified!"

This is a great start off on Divinez especially with the music at the end.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this new Cardfight Vanguard. I noticed that the Dragon plushie has the same voice as Lelouch from Code Geass. The second I saw the main character punched the plushie I was shocked at first but then started laughing madly after a few seconds. He looks almost similar to the main character who came before him...Kondo Yuyu

If we consider Aichi as 1st gen card fighter in a universe and Chrono as 2nd gen card fighter then in another universe Yu-yu is 1st gen fighter and Akina is 2nd gen fighter. Wow!! bushiroad is creating whole new universe then multiverse.😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

Best first episode of Vanguard, in my opinion.

Man.. Seeing Hikari this episode and later at episode 10 and episode 11 really changes my mind about her backstories and her future self's reunion with her Big Bro was like😭...

Been with vanguard since 2011 and like with Pokemon, yugioh and beyblade I'm just here for the ride having seen every season of the aforementioned shows as vanguard is my favorite cardgame anime so I'm curious as to see how this will do

So far we have YuYu 2.0, Kai (Nao) and Ibuki (Suo). But seriously good start to the new series. Never thought I'd hear "Imagine it" again. Kai would be proud haha

This series looks very promising! Really digging the new protagonist and character cast! Opening theme is epic! Can't wait to see more! DivineZ here we come!!!

Alrighty here we go. New casts, new adventures and a fresh new start that the anime honestly needs. Was gonna comment to whoever was at the early screening of the episode last Saturday to not spoil but probably 95% of y'all like me have already watched it lol.

Great first ep it was awesome I love Akina personality is so well balanced

Suo seems like a badass. I can tell he’s going to be some genius cardfighter with qualities like Kai, Leon, and Ibuki

Finally Vanguard returning to be Vanguard, thanks for the great episode

brooo the riding animation literally have the OG Vanguard vibes on it🤩 can't wait to see the fighting animation I'm pumped!

I like how they grounded the characters and spent time introducing each of the fated before going into the fantastical things of the Vanguard world. Is it perfect? No. Is it better then before? Could be depending of how they write this season. Definitely interested.

Like I said in my previous comment, already watched it last Saturday but MAN does it still feels fresh and fun. And it's only the first episode but Akina is already my top 3 favorite D character. It's clear that the staff learn from their mistakes and flaws from OD/WD of how to treat their main character (even though I still like good ol' Yuyu). Also,BRO. THE OPENING THO🔥🔥🔥

Okay, new vanguard season is underway, and the absolute best description has come from this. "Joey wheeler with blue hair wants to heal his sister by joining the holy grail war. Absolutely nothing bad could come from this, please do not look at the madoka plush too closely."

Ok so this MC gonna bring back Keter Sanctuary to The Golden Age once again!

Off to a great start. Unit animations are finally back❤❤

Our Meg is back but being an worker at an card shop like Kamui used to be! While Yuyu will be like Aichi that rarely having an appearances in new main character's series lol as what is happened in G, huh...

Halfway in, and our new protagonist punched a plushie.

This has left a great first impression on me of what the next stage of vanguard is like. I'm glad they're returning to the season 1 ways in the sense the characters meet their "avatar" units. I still enjoy season 1 CFV the most (probably because that's what I grew up on).

21:45. She said it! LET'S GOOOOOO!

So much personality to our protagonist and I love it. Looking forward to watching more 🙂

Love the main protagonist (cool design, has the power of one punch, and has a great personality) and that opening for sure slaps. We are off to an incredible start. Let the fun begin. I'm waiting for that plush to be real

Just going to say, imo, best starting episode any of the vanugard animes. Spoiler below YES! More units than just the main grade 3's and most important rearguard let's go!!!!

Finally, after a long time hearing Imagine it made my day

I agree with all you guys it’s better to see it this way they’re going back to their first way when Vanguard first came out and they explained everything grade 0 upgrade one grade two grade 3 they explained it better for people who did not know how to play this way people who weren’t around during that generation of generation one can now learn how to play

Man just imagining Lelouch being punched by Akina

It really feels like a return to form, but adding new spins! Great setup this ep, and now I'm hyped for the rest of this series!

so this season is basicly a holy grail war but cardfight

13:35 I don't think Light Tenryuu is that violent lol

Alright it's if Joey wheeler was the protagonist but in vanguard, i'm pretty hyped for this. it seems this one will be more personal and high stakes.

finally old school like fantasy CFV is back which i grew up with

6:01 for some reason, i like this part 13:33 and this one 22:27 so that's what ride means..

For people thinking you won't have to watch Dress series to watch DivineZ you have to. Although DivineZ will go back to the supernatural theme, that same thing was teased at the end of Will +Dress also, Taizo, Masanori and Megumi are all characters that had their story in Dress series and these 3 return for DivineZ, not only that but DivineZ continues where Will +Dress ended so to fully understand this series you'll need to still watch the Dress series even if you didn't like it because it was a more realistic approach, you'll still need it for DivineZ. So supernatural fans be happy that supernatural stuff is back but you still need the Dress series, because if 3 characters from there are back who knows who else might come back

13:36 FALCO PUNCH!

I was desperately waiting for this anime to start again 🎉🎉🎉 so happy that I cant even explain

Review of Ep 1 !SPOILERS! READ ONLY AFTER WATCHING. Okay so I was late for this premiere, but I came around the 15 minute Ad Mark and I got to say after rewatching it it's not a bad episode actually very interesting. Akina is a very caring dynamic character and honestly we get to learn a good chunk about him as well. Gabwelius is absolutely adorable and the Lelouch voice is growing on me with his cute appearance. And of course that one scene that absolutely killed me was when Akina decked him sending em blasting off again!! 😂 In all honesty this episode made me feel--Good. I wasn't really bored more so intrigued by Akina and his sister and Nao who is pretty cute we'll have to see more of her in the next episode when they're fighting. Overall this feels like a way better start than any of the previous seasons of either OD or WD. Let's just see if they can keep this momentum going.

Akina reminds me of Danji, they both are hardworking, a little goofy guys who cares about everybody. I also feel guilty for thinking that Akina and Gabwelius' first encounter was a little funny...

13:36 AYO, that punch was personal!

I can't wait for the next episode I'm so hyped for this

I’m loving this new series so far. Can’t wait to see what’s to come.

This season is epic , I really liked the opening theme at the end of the episode it was very cool ❤🎉

Bro sent him back to stars 😂

Basically fate but with vanguard. With that being said here's what I think the class-nation should be. Saber - Keter Assasin - Dragon Empire Archer - Brandt Caster - Lyrical Rider - Stocheia Berserker - Dark States

This is SO MUCH better than Overdress was. The new characters and tone shift really made a difference. This series is capturing what made the OG, G, and V series good. Im actually excited to watch this.

I liked the episode. Seeing the cameos of the old Characters was also really cool. Megumi looks really good with a ponytail....and the new MC is also not bad. Maybe we also get some more animations for the rear guards this time. I am excited!

Alright, I'm sold on this protag

The OP is fire man!! Can't wait for the full OP release 🔥😭 Also, really love Ichidoji Yuki in this episode 👏👍

Man this opening hitting hard dude

I can tell this is going to be a another good season also I like in the beginning how they said people have been playing since ancient times like the early 2000s were ancient times come on I’m not that old

This looks SO Promising, I'm beyond hyped now

Ah yeh best tcg i will forever buy vanguard and support daddy bushi uwu

Nice to see a new face and a new adventure about save the life of a precius one, like first season of Yu-Gi-Oh!, but new main character is gonna need a quick grow up

So... Vanguard's becoming fate now?

Excited for this

Ooh, this was amazing! Strong start!

Come back here cuz' the official English dub episode 1 of this masterpiece is coming this week!!!

this is the best one since the og days. can't wait to get my friends into vanguard.

Im so psyched to this🤩🤩🤩🤩

Our MC become Selector

Vanguard now has a holy grail war, nice

So this is where the sobrenatural cardfights begin, didn't watch OverDress or will+Dress but maybe will watch this

Devinez let's gooooo 'smashes table'

I am invested in this new series. OverDress did not do it for me. DivineZ has a great first impression. I love the punch to the dragon because I think anyone would have reacted in a similar manner. The characters are interesting so far. We have a plot with logic in it so far.

So we got to see Raika, Taizo, Masanori, Meg, and we have a based protag with a non annoying voice who has a good goal and punched a plushie. This is going to be good.

Time to see what Yu-Yu’s sorta twin brother is like.

I hope we get to see Michiru and Danji again in the new season. Also Akina meeting Yu-Yu would be nice too

23:35 I don’t what’s wrong with me, but I find them flipping, spinning, and jumped into their grade 0 unit form is kind of funny. The first Vanguard would just transform, but they made this one with more movement

Can’t wait for the next episode

Lesgoooo They brought back the supernatural part that everyone loves

I Love this already. This show pay homage to the original by going back to the roots: Cray. Also it’s insane that this is basically like Holy Grail War in Fate, but with Vanguard instead. Akina is even better protagonist than I Imagine (HE PUNCH A PLUSHIE TO THE STAR 🤣🤣). I also love how the first fight for the next ep is center on Dragon and Keter, just like the OG (Nao is like Kai in this position). Overall good start for the new season. Lets see what this season is all about 😎

Can't wait for episode 2
