Character Information
" | Stand up, my avatar! Blaster Blade! | " |
—Aichi Sendou, Whenever he rides/calls a unit with Blaster Blade in its name. |
Aichi Sendou is the main protagonist of Cardfight!! Vanguard. He is a somewhat shy and timid young man who wishes to be a Vanguard Fighter, but has never had the chance to have a real fight until his second encounter with Toshiki Kai. When starting to play Vanguard, he believes more in himself, becoming a powerful Vanguard Fighter. His Vanguard Circle is blue, but when using a Shadow Paladin deck, it changes to dark blue.
According to KeroKero Ace September 2011, Aichi's surname is written with the kanji for vanguard (先導), the forward element in a military formation (and, of course, a reference to the title of the franchise). His forename primarily refers to the Aichi prefecture of Chubu, Japan. This follows a general trend in Vanguard of using historical names for characters. "Aichi" as a name originates from the third volume of the Man'yōshū, Japan's oldest collection of poetry, where it was referred to as Ayuchi, the Ayuchi-gata tidal flats.
When he was younger, Aichi was a very shy and lonely boy who was frequenlty bullied at school. During the fateful encounter with Kai, who was still a friendly teenager, he gave him the card Blaster Blade, telling him to imagine himself big and strong, like the royal knight depicted on the card. Aichi couldn't picture himself any stronger at that moment, but the card gave him courage. He constructed a deck in the hopes of finding Kai and having a cardfight with him, but shortly after their encounter, Kai had apparently moved away. He eventually transferred to a different school after his mom got upset over the constant bullying.
Aichi lives with his mother and little sister, Emi. It is shown that Aichi isn't interested in school that much and his sister always woke him up, though this behavior disappears after he starts playing Cardfight!! Vanguard.
At first, he is a shy, taciturn and timid boy who doesn't stand out, but is always kind and nice to everyone. After he starts playing Vanguard, he starts to come out of his shell and appears more confident in himself, resulting in a boost on his Cardfight skills. During the regional tournament, he doubted his ability when Misaki wouldn't make it in time for most of the tournament, and again when he was paired up to fight Gouki in the finals, but through winning the team's first match, and some encouragement from Kai, he regained his confidence and grew determined to win.
After Aichi gains PSY Qualia, he begins to act very much like Ren Suzugamori; arrogant and obsessed with growing stronger, yet staying eerily polite throughout, which he frequently displayed once Ren gave him a Shadow Paladin deck, which appears to fuel his PSY Qualia. Aichi starts to doubt himself, but quickly get's over it after seeing his friends having fun during a shop tournament at Card Capital.
During Season 2, he displays more of his calm and determined personality while he was fighting with other fighters, even when he was in the brink of losing against Christopher Lo after the latter got PSY Qualia powers. However, he grows increasingly worried when his Royal Paladins were replaced by the Gold Paladins, and despreate for answers as to what happened. This starts to lessen after fighting with the new clan and learning to respect it. After facing fighters like Kourin and Jun, he begins to forge his own path, growing stronger with each fight. He refuses to leave his friends in trouble if he can help them, even when the circumstances dictate that it is a waste of valuable time, as shown when he accepted Christopher's rematch to try and break him out of his Psyqualia-induced madness, even when Cray and Earth were in danger.
In Season 3, it is shown that Aichi, outside of any Cardfight!! Vanguard-related event, is still quite unsure and nervous, but this side of him completely vanishes whenever he plays. He also starts to act more like a leader in the Cardfight Club. Naoki, Rekka, and Kourin have all noted that during their fights with him, he seems like a different person, only looking forward and having his sights set on winning.
Aichi is a boy with long blue hair with a right hair bang which is his signature style. He is first seen in his Hitsue Middle School uniform which is mostly all gray with white linings along with a red sweater under it. His civillian clothes varies with the change in season particularly wearing a short green jacket with a red sweater under it for cold seasons while sporting a white double sleeved shirt for warm seasons. He is quite particularly short compared to other characters of the same grade.
By the start of the second season, he still wears his middle school uniform but he is mostly seen in his civillian clothes by the time of the VF Circuit which is a white jacket with a red sweater beneath it.
In the start of the third season, he is now a highschool student at Miyaji Academy wearing the basic male uniform which is a black blazer with red linings along with a white formal shirt underneath it and a red necktie. By this time, he has short hair but still maintaining his signature right hair bang and has significantly grown taller. His civillian clothing shown so far is a varying colored jacket of dark purple and white while having a light purple sweater underneath.
Season 1
Aichi is a student in Hitsue Middle School. He is introduced as a self-contained boy with low self-esteem, as seen when he is asked by his teacher to base an opinion, to which he gives an answer that makes him seem cowardly in appearance to the other students. When Kai introduced him to play Vanguard, he gained a lot of friends like Morikawa, Miwa and Izaki, and later his teammates that becomes his best friends - Kai Toshiki, Misaki Tokura and Kamui Katsuragi.
When Q4 begins to play in the Regionals, he becomes friend with members of teams like Handsome, and when they forward to Nationals, he become friend with members of Team Caesar. However, as the series progresses, Aichi discovers PSY Qualia, an unusual power that allows him to hear the voices of his cards. Placing his trust in these voices, Aichi begins to rely on his own skill less and less in favour of PSY Qualia. Kai leaves Aichi, partially out of guilt over what happened to Ren, but not without coldly telling Aichi he has only gotten weaker.
Confused over Kai's words, Aichi stumbles into Card Shop PSY, where he meets Ren again. Ren gives Aichi a Shadow Paladin deck and tells him that it will give him the strength he needs. Aichi uses this deck to utterly defeat Kourin.
Later in the series, after Team Q4 qualify through the Preliminaries of their second National Championship, Kai fights Aichi, in order to try and prevent PSY Qualia from totally consuming him as it did Ren. When the fight is almost over, Aichi has a vision of Blaster Blade that tells him that he has a big strength that he's always had, and he doesn't need a perfect constructed deck to win. After recognizing Blaster Blade as his true Avatar, Aichi stops using his PSY Qualia, although his cards answered his call during his fight with Kenji Mitsusada. However, Ren noted that Aichi won without Psy Qualia, as did Kai.
Later, Aichi goes to Foo Fighters' headquarters with Ultra-Rare to watch the fight between Kai and Ren, with the former losing. Ren noted that he received Phantom Blaster Overlord from Suiko in the process. After the battle, Aichi tries to comfort Kai, but Kai tells Aichi to get away from him and storms off. Suiko then manifests two spheres of energy, one of darkness and the other of light, and says that Ren chose the path of darkness and now Aichi must choose his path, and presumably a new card.
After the battle between Kai and Ren, Aichi and Q4 (minus Kai) return to the stadium for the finals of the National Tournament to fight Team Foo Fighter AL4. Aichi remains on the sidelines while Kamui fights Tetsu and Misaki fights Asaka. After these battles Aichi takes the field to battle Ren in the final match of the tournament. Throughout the match Ren tempts Aichi to use his Psyqualia ability but Aichi constantly refuses while Ren constantly uses Psyqualia to cause Aichi to feel the pain of each of Ren's attacks. Aichi eventually succumbs to the temptation after he calls Blaster Dark to his Rear Guard.Using Psyqualia's power, he then begins to unleash his full power on Ren, causing Ren to feel the attack from Aichi's units just as Ren had done to Aichi previously. From the stands, Kai shouts to Aichi not to fall back into Psyqualia's grasp and brings Aichi back to his senses once more. After Ren Crossrides Phantom Blaster Overlord, Aichi is backed into a corner when his guard is broken and Phantom Blaster Overlord's attack hits. After checking a Heal Trigger, Aichi proceeds to ride Majesty Lord Blaster and defeat Ren using its skill as well as removing the power of Psyqualia from Ren. After the match, Aichi and Team Q4 are crowned the National Champions. A few days after the tournament, Aichi runs to Card Capital to see his friends while saying that he can no longer use Psyqualia. As he enters Card Capital, all his friends are there waiting for him, including Kai who has been waiting to battle him. Aichi then proceeds to start a battle with Kai.Season 2
During season 2, he uses a Gold Paladin deck. Aichi is taking part in Asia Circuit and travels around Asia to fight different fighters, along with the rest of Team Q4.
In episode 66, he fought Takuto Tatsunagi, who has a Gold Paladin deck. After the fight, he realizes his deck consisted of Gold Paladin units instead of Royal Paladins. Aichi is told that Shadow Paladin, Royal Paladin, and Kagero have been sealed away. Eventually, Aichi finds Kai, and discovers that his deck has changed too, although Kai is unaware of the change, unlike Aichi. Kai and Aichi then start a battle, in order to try and determine what really has happened. However, Aichi is unsure without his old deck to play with and is swiftly defeated by Kai's new ace, Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion, who demonstrates the new Limit Break ability.
In episode 68, Aichi takes on Kamui, in order to try and convince him to come to the VF Circuit with him, and battles with his Gold Paladin deck, even using the Limit Break for the first time.
Once Aichi and Q4 land in Singapore, they meet up with Kenji Mitsusada and Team Caesar by chance and then meet with a boy named Chris Falo and his teammates: Lee Shenlon and Pajeel Ali. After parting ways with Team Caeser and the young boys Aichi sees Takuto in a car driving away and proceedes to give chase. After being denied an audience with Takuto, he walks through town until Kourin finds him and proceeds to give him his new trump card, Incandescent Lion, Blond Ezel.
Aichi's quest to see Takuto again, however, is brought to a halt, when Takuto appears in the middle of Aichi's fight with Christopher Lo. Takuto grants both players the power of Psyqualia, which Christopher uses to defeat Aichi before he can begin to re-understand his new power.
Although Q4 have also recieved invitations to participate in the circuit in other countries, Q4 are denied their finals victories by the newly re-formed Team AL4, now led by Kai, and Team Dreadnought, led by Leon Soryu, who entered the circuit in order to revive a legendary clan known as Aqua Force.
Later on, Aichi realises that his lack of progress is due to his own hesitation regarding the correct use of Psyqualia, but he learns to overcome them after a match with Ultra-Rare. His new resolve results in the acceptance of a new ace card, Blazing Lion, Platina Ezel. With this card, Q4 are finally able to win the Japan leg of the VF Circuit.
However, he and the other finalists are drawn to Cray via a portal connecting Cray to Earth, where he learns the VF Circuit's true purpose; Cray is in danger of a threat known as Void, and is responsible for the sealing of the clans who united the others. The whole tournament was held in order to find chosen cardfighters who could save Cray from Void.
Leon Soryu, however, reveals that he made a deal with Void in order to revive the Aqua Force in exchange for eliminated all threats to Void. With his wildly-evolved PSY Qualia and mastery of the powers that Void handed to him, Soryu betrays Tatsunagi, draining him of his own powers and leaving the boy for dead. He then seperates each team who made the finals, and Aichi is forced to look for Leon and stop him. While searching, he finds the spirit of his lost Avatar, Blaster Blade, and it manifests in the form of a beam of light, pointing towards Leon, and a Blaster Blade Spirit.
Q4 then bump into Team S.I.T Genius, where Aichi discovers that Christopher Lo has been completely consumed by Psyqualia. Seeing himself in Christopher, Aichi decides to try and snap him out of it, as Kai did for him. Aichi succeeds in winning the fight, banishing Team S.I.T Genius from Cray, as only the winners can remain. However, this fight delays Aichi, and he is too late to stop Leon from defeating Kai and banishing Team new AL4 from the space as well. Aichi fights Leon to avenge Kai and stop Leon's plot. After a hard-fought fight, which results in the return of his Avatar and the Crossride of Platina Ezel, Aichi narrowly escapes defeat and succeeds in saving Cray.
Afterwards, when he re-discovers the Royal Paladins, Aichi realises that he has forged a bond with his Gold Paladin allies and cannot bear the thought of simply abandoning them. Understanding his feelings, Blaster Blade, as well as the other Royal Paladins he fought with, manifest in the form of new Gold Paladins.
Aichi then makes the true finals of the VF Circuit, where he officially defeats Christopher Lo, ending in Q4 becoming the champions of the tournament.
Season 3
Aichi re-enrolls in Miyaji Academy with Misaki. However, when he settles into his old school again, it becomes apparent that his hobby has little place in a school where the primary concern is college. At the end of school, he goes to Card Capital and a regular student, Naoki Ishida, follows him. Aichi teaches him how to play Vanguard, and introduces his new deck. Although Aichi wins, he notices that Naoki bought a Trial Deck, which means he is now interested in Vanguard. He then decides to keep an eye on him.
He tries to start a Cardfight Club at his school, but many people only wanted to join because Kourin was a member, so it resulted in there only being three Members so far, being Naoki Ishida, Kourin Tatsunagi, and Aichi. In addition, the student council, who disaproves the formation of such a club, frequently spred rumors and a bounty on the Cardfight Club to dismantle them. Eventually they add Shingo Komoi and Misaki Tokura competing the Cardfight Club but was not approved as they also do not have a teacher to advise them. As an alternative, The Student Council President challenges them to face Hisui High's Cardfight Club rewarding them with aproval and an advisor should they win. By the time Aichi fights, the results are tied up leaving it up to Aichi to save the Cardfight Club. He faces off against Morikawa whose deck was switched out in favor of Kai's Kagero deck which utilized Dragonic Overlord The End and the Kagero's new Break Ride as a way for Kai to test him. Aichi manages to break through impressing even Kai with how strong he has become. This victory establishes the Cardfight Club within Miyaji Academy as Aichi is named President and Captain of the club.
During the regionals for the High School VF Circuit, his team begins the tournament defeating Hisui High with Aichi coming out victorious against a strong willed Izaki. By the finals, Aichi faces off against Ren to decide the fate of both schools but in the end, Aichi fails to defeat Ren and knocks them out of the next stage of the Circuit.
He returns to his duties as club president only to find himself getting a strange premonition about his friends. Soon he faces against Naoki who is being controlled by Link Joker defeats him. He also starts getting strange feelings as Kourin has not attended school for a while and Kai has not shown up to Card Capital as well.
Later on, he is shown to lead his club on a hike trip around the camp site that the whole academy is taking as a relaxing trip. He and his team made it first out of everyone and the other students are rather impressed at that. At night, the whole club gathered around to watch the high school cardfight tournamet, they were joined by other students along with the Football club and the Paranormal Research Society though Kourin was a no show. He with Naoki and Shingo made a vow to win the next tournament. The next day, he and the others worked together to enjoy their time on the trip. At night, Kourin asked Aichi to walk with her to the legendary tree next to the lake. When they reached there, Kourin told Aichi to fight her in a cardfight. Not wanting to disappoint her, he agreed to it while Miskai calmly watched from a far. During the fight, she displayed a sign of being Reversed, however, at the last minute, she was able to break free of it. She, then, ran off without a word while Aichi and Misaki wondered what was happening. When on the bus back to school, he wondered and worried for what is happening to Kourin. When Aichi returned to Miyaji High School, he felt bad premonitions during the bus ride back and immediately ran out only to find Kamui who was just defeated by Kourin and in the process of getting Reversed and the Student Council Secretary, Maki Nagashiro, showing a video of the Reversed Takuto who declared it to be the beginning of the destruction of the world.
Upon returning to Card Capital, Miwa shows himself and reveals that Kai has been reversed all for the sake of facing Aichi. Soon after Miwa leaves, he is confronted by Leon who plans on facing Kai and Takuto. He challenges Aichi for the sake of seeing if both are prepared for the threat but after Aichi rides Blaster Blade Liberator, Leon suddenly stops the Cardfight stating that Aichi is hesitating to fight Kai saying that the strong wind from when he usually brings out Blaster Blade isn't there. Aichi realizes this hesitation and reflects on his doubts. Soon he hears of Naoki and Shingo missing for a day realizing that the both of them are attempting to liberate Miyaji Academy. When Aichi and Misaki head over, they find that the black ring hovering over the school is disappearing. As they find an exhausted Shingo and Naoki, Naoki having just defeated Maki, Shingo revealed that Naoki decided to take on all of these cardfighters for Aichi. Inspired by Naoki's passion and courage, Aichi decides to storm the Tatsunagi Corporation with the intent to defeat Kamui, Kai, Takuto and whoever else stands in his way in defeating the Link Joker.
Upon making his way there with Misaki, Naoki and Shingo, he encounters Kamui who challenges him. Kamui reminds him that when they formed Team Q4, Aichi was barely keeping up against Kamui, slowly becoming equals but soon enough, it became obvious that Aichi became much stronger than Kamui. Kamui manages to get his Crossbreak Ride off with Ethics Buster Reverse delivering a full eight attacks but combined with a couple Quintet Walls and a strong guard, he holds out stating that it's through the bonds of Q4 that he was able to get as far as he is now and that Kamui is one of his strongest rivals. He solidifies this by Crossbreak Riding Gancelot Zenith and after superior calling Blaster Blade Liberator, defeats Kamui and returns him to normal as he now is accompanying the group. He watches the Misaki's fight against Miwa and ultimately ends up fighting Kai as well. Confident that he can bring back Kai, he does well against Link Joker for the first time. However, Aichi fails to defeat him as Kai ends the fight by break riding Star Vader, Chaos Breaker Dragon and breaking Aichi's Quintet Wall. Upon being defeated, Aichi would have ended up being Reversed, prolonging the process through his own willpower, but Leon with Sharlene and Jillian luckily came in time with a mirror holding Takuto, who helps Aichi tap into his Psyqualia and temporarily suppressing the Reverse process. However, the strain of holding back such a power has affected him as Aichi cannot engage in a cardfight otherwise the power would rush out all at once and would threaten his life, thus benching him for the time being. However, Aichi, not wanting to sit out while his friends are in trouble, rushes in only to arrive as soon as Takuto is absorbed by the Reversed Takuto. Unwavering, he challenges Reversed Takuto to a cardfight.
However before he gets a chance to, Takuto has Kourin fight Aichi instead, Aichi deciding fight to free Kourin from the reverse. However, during the fight, he is clearly seen struggling to hold himself together but with his desire not to lose his friends to darkness, he manages to defeat Kourin with his new card, Liberator, Monarch Sanctuary Alfred. He confronts Takuto with this deck, however Takuto begins to slowly lock his field during the cardfight until he locks his open spot on the field with a unit in his deck setting up for Star-vader, "Omega" Glendios' Ultimate Break all the while chipping away at his damage. Takuto taunts Aichi that in defeating him, he releases everyone from the reverse, Aichi's suppresed reverse included, but in doing so, he denies cardfighters their strength and would also deny Kourin her memories of her time with him and his friends. But when he sees images of his friends fighting the incoming Link Joker army, he gets his second wind saying that they will find their own strength eventually and even if Kourin loses her memories, he'll find her again and make new ones. He solidifies this hope by riding Alfred against Takuto and shows off Alfred's ability to liberate his locked units. With a full field, he defeats Takuto and liberates the world from reverse and Link Joker. As Takuto is being absorbed back into the void, he tries to take Aichi with him but the real Takuto regains control of the body and drags him into the void with him. As things appear to be back to normal, he is challenged by a still reversed Kai impressed by his strength and resolve, but a little disppointed to know that his fated final opponent is actually Aichi whom he already beaten. However, as Kai is about to be unreversed, he wants to see how Aichi does at his full strength before he loses his reversed Kagero deck.
As the fighters clash, Kai states that he knew what he was doing the entire time and that by nature, a cardfighter's job is always to find new strength, no matter the cost, and upon finishing this cardfight, win or lose, he will leave and dissapear from everyone's lives. Not satisfied with Kai's self alienation, says that Kai is his idol, and without him, he wouldn't be the man he is today. He states that Kai should stay with his friends in that case and instead of walking away from them. Aichi then rides Blaster Blade, the card that began his journey, a unit which Kai says defines Aichi. In response Kai rides the unit that defines himself, Dragonic Overlord but soon takes it a step further by Crossbreak Riding Dragonic Overlord "The Яe-birth" and demonstrate to him the power Link Joker had given him. Aichi manages to hold off long enough in order to Ride Alfred and fill up his field and superior calling Blaster Blade for Alfred's Ultimate Break. He finished the match by finishing Kai off with Blaster Blade who sees that Aichi became strong through his allies and friends while Kai tried to become strong by shutting everyone away from his life.
Toshiki Kai
His relationship with Kai, at first was rocky. They didn't get along too well though they learned to enjoy each other company. Kai is quite supportive of Aichi though only when Aichi learned how to do things by himself and become more confident. Aichi taught Kai how to have fun in Cardfight again when Kai forgotten how much fun he was having before his change in school and his parent's death. During Season Two, Kai was withdraw from him since Aichi needed to learn how to do things by himselves and to not count on others to help him. In Season Three, Kai noticed how much Aichi has changed. He was happy and sad at the same time though he was glad to see Aichi being himself now. However, this now puts him in a role reversal as, through observing Aichi and Ren's strenghts through their cardfight, he feels as though they have exceeded him by leaps and bounds. Tempted by the promise of strength, he willingly takes the power of Reverse and the Link Joker clan so he can face Aichi one on one as his equal. Aichi, realizing the danger of having such strength using a dark power, resolves to personally defeat him and release him from Reverse.
Misaki Tokura
She and Aichi have a close friendship. They shared one thing in common: they both don't know how to play Cardfight at first. After going through countless tournaments together, they formed a tight bond with each other eventually becoming classmates in the same High School. She appears to have a slight liking to Aichi though Aichi never noticed it.
Kamui Katsuragi
Their relationship is close and very supportive of each other. Although Kamui, at first, was treating Aichi kindness to see if Emi would like him, Kamui learned to enjoy Aichi's company. They went through thick and thin together and eventually became an irreplacible friend and teammate.
Taishi Miwa
He and Aichi gets along quite well. They speak a lot to each other when not Cardfighting and Miwa is very supportive to Aichi. He cares a lot for everyone and Aichi is one of them. He likes to lighten the mood when Aichi is down in the dumps.
Kourin Tatsunagi
He and Kourin have a understanding relationship with each other. At first, she was annoyed at him though she learned to care about him after seeing what he was going through. Out of the three sisters, she cares for Aichi the most and seems to worry about him whenever he was in trouble. She helped him in many different situations and he was always glad for her help. It appears that her caring has turned into a slight crush on him. She, at times, show some feelings for Aichi though he would never notice them.
Ren Suzugamori
His relationship with Ren was very distance the first time they meant. He was a better player than Aichi by far and Aichi felt a difference in strength. When Aichi was upset for causing his team failures, Ren took a chance and told him that power can be his if he chose the path, he took back then. When they fought in the last battle, Aichi told him that he will not use PSY Qualia anymore and showed Ren what it meant to have true strength. When they met again after some months, their relationship became rather close. They now enjoy each other companies and likes to talk to each other even though Ren tends to switch subjects or sleeping on his feet.
Blaster Blade
His relationship to Blaster Blade is a special one. Although Blaster Blade was just a card to many people, Aichi have always counted on him to support his back and always call him his avatar. When Aichi was abusing PSY Qualia, he abandoned Blaster Blade for Blaster Dark though when they meet in Cray (an image of it), Blaster Blade told him that PSY Qualia was never his true strength. Aichi, once again, called him his avatar. When Blaster Blade was sealed away in Season Two, Aichi went through lots of trials to get him back. Blaster Blade told Aichi that he will always be with him.
Blaster Dark
His relationship with Blaster Dark is very loose. Although Aichi did use him instead of Blaster Blade, he in the end chose Blaster Blade over him. Blaster Dark told him that he will regret it later. When Aichi fought against Ren, he told Ren that both Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark are his avatars.
Season 1
Royal PaladinAt the beginning of the series, Aichi is revealed to possess a Royal Paladin deck, based mostly on human knights and their dog companions. It is revealed that this deck is not quite strong, as it lacks Grade 3 Units, and it is rather all over the place. Aichi comes to rely on a combination of Blaster Blade and Wingal to pull through his first few fights, mostly against Morikawa, but Misaki stops his winning streak. Aichi manages to upgrade his deck with the introduction of the Grade 3 unit, Solitary Knight, Gancelot, which he tries to use unsuccessfully to defeat Kamui and Kourin. Finally, he receives King of Knights, Alfred from Suiko, which, especially when combined with Barcgal, becomes his major ace for a large part of the series, and leads him to the semi-finals of the shop tournament. In preparation for the regionals Aichi upgrades his deck with units from the new booster pack, namely Knight of Truth, Gordon, Gigantech Charger and more importantly Soul Saver Dragon. He uses this Units masterfully despite not having tested them, an early hint that he possesses some sort of supernatural power when Soul Savior Dragon answers his need during the regional finals against Gouki. Blaster Blade still remains a prominent Unit in his deck, even though he begins focusing on Soul Saver Dragon. After Q4's defeat at the nationals, Aichi goes to a training camp with Team Caesar, where he fights against Yuri Usui. He is completely defeated, and Yuri advises him to restructure his deck. With a little help from the manager, and the spirits of the Royal Paladin cards, he creates a powerful deck based around Soul Saver Dragon, High Dog Breeder, Akane and Pongal. However, at the same time, the PSY Qualia begin advancing, and he starts trusting the voice of his cards over his own ability. Therefore, he uses that deck in the next shop and regional tournament, winning all of his matches, even against former AL4 member Kyou Yahagi, with apparent ease. Kai still refuses to acknowledge him, though, since he knows that the power of the PSY Qualia is not Aichi's own power.
After the fight between Kai and Aichi, in which Aichi gave up after hearing Blaster Blade's words, he starts to play with his Royal Paladin Deck again. In his final confrontation with Ren, Aichi adjusts his deck so that Blaster Dark is mixed in with his Royal Paladins so that he could use Majesty Lord Blaster's abilities to the fullest.

Shadow Paladin
Seeking more power, Aichi visits the card shop PSY, where he is confronted by Suzugamori Ren. Ren gives him the Shadow Paladin deck, which completely corrupts him and causes him to abandon his Royal Paladins in favor of the new clan. His first match using this deck is against Kourin - he displays a great mastery in using it thanks to the power of the PSY Qualia, and delivers a crippling defeat to Kourin via Phantom Blaster Dragon's Corrupted Charging Lance. His new ace becomes Blaster Dark, and his Deck is focused on sacrificing his own units for power, more specifically at the hands of Phantom Blaster Dragon. This is totally unlike him, a fact noticed by most characters. Aichi's original Royal Paladin Deck was themed around the color blue, to contrast Kai's mostly red-based units. His Shadow Paladin Deck ranges from dark blue, to dark grey, to black. The color of his PSY Qualia has also shifted to a much darker hue. After he acquired the Shadow Paladin deck, he abandoned his old deck at card shop PSY. Kourin retrieved it, and presumably gave it to Kai later.

Season 2
Gold Paladin
In the Season 2, Aichi is forcefully given a Gold Paladin deck to use instead of his Royal Paladins. Initially, his Deck's ace card is Great Silver Wolf, Garmore, but after receiving Incandescent Lion, Blond Ezel from Kourin, he redesigns his deck to incorporate it into his strategies. This deck is similar in strategy to his old Royal Paladin Deck, but it focuses more on calling units from the deck than his previous one.
After going to the Vacation Island, Aichi reconstructs his Deck after realizing that he isn't facing the Gold Paladins right. Ezel is still an important part in his deck, but Aichi now puts in more effort to superior calling units from the deck, using the Blade Feather Valkyrie / Flash Edge Valkyrie combination, as well as Nimue and Viviane, and units that can activate their skills upon being called from the Deck, such as Lop Ear Shooter. For this reason, he changes his starting vanguard to Spring Breeze Messenger, in order to keep his combos going. He also includes White Hare in the Moon's Shadow, Pellinore as a second ace. He later adds Blazing Lion, Platina Ezel as his signature Crossride unit after receiving it from PSY Shop.
Season 3
Aichi has decided to use the Gold Paladin as his main deck. His deck consists of the Liberators cards which were originally Royal Paladin units such as Little Liberator, Marron, Future Liberator, Llew and Liberator of Silence, Gallatin along with his ace being his reborn avatar- Blaster Blade Liberator.
Deck | |||||||||||||
Deck | |||||||||||||
Starting episode 151, Aichi modifies his deck around his new Crossbreak Ride card Liberator of Bonds, Gancelot Zenith in order to creating colossal units once cross ridden. Cards like Viviane and Escrad will help Aichi fill up his field, so he can save his hand. Using Gorlois can power up Gancelot Zenith, so he can attack full throttle.
Deck | |||||||||||||
After losing to Kai, Takuto lend him some power from Cray which gave him a new power. This deck now uses Monarch Sanctuary Alfred as the ace to send his rear-guards back to the deck and recall five new units like Bruno for major power-up. Most important of this ability is his ability to send locked units back and recall them. This not only resets his field, this allows him to get a full 3 attacks in. Finally, if he happens to call out Blaster Blade Liberator from the deck either from his own skill or another superior call, Alfred's Ultimate Break gives him an extreme bonus.

A rich, dark and flavorful combination of our favorite Southwestern flavors. It also doesn't hurt that sweet potatoes and black beans both make the cut as superfoods. Serve with some warmed corn tortillas and Orange & Avocado Salad.

When I was a kid back in the '80s, they used to run a disclaimer before the Saturday morning WWF matches informing viewers that the likes of "Macho Man" Randy Savage were trained professionals, and imploring us to not try these moves at home for risk of injury.
A quick scan through the Pennsyltucky police blotter tells me they should start running those disclaimers again.
A 21-year-old Carlisle man was sentenced to 11 1/2 to 23 months in Dauphin County Prison Monday after pleading guilty to head-butting a state trooper after an alcohol-related crash. Story from PennLive.com.
Then there's the story of boy genius Tyler Transue, 15, who grabbed his buddy Maxwell from behind at school one day playing a sleeper-hold "greeting game," according to this story from LehighValleyLive.com. The outcome of this game? Maxwell got a broken nose, a concussion and 22 stitches, and Tyler is facing aggravated assault charges.
Waiting for confirmation of a story on a Johnstown altar boy who put a parishoner in the Camel Clutch for a goof during Sunday mass.

"Got these for my baby shower thank you notes. They fit right into my owl theme and love that they have a 'mom, dad and baby' owl on the branch! Great quality!"
"I used this little card as an insert with the invitation. I needed to add directions (quite extensive) on one side & the other side was used for where to mail "parent tips" & "baby wishes". Customer service was outstanding on helping me do this! I highly recommend tiny prints!"
"This design was simple and sweet and perfect stationary from our baby girl Georgia. I also love that when we're done with the cards, Tiny Prints makes it easy to re-order so we always have a supply on hand. The size was perfect too and I was impressed with the quality of these."
"I used this as the thank you card for my baby shower. Instead of having my name in the bottom right corner, I had it say "Thank You". The cards are simple, tasteful, and provide a lot of room for writing personal notes. They were perfect for a baby girl's shower."
"Love this for my little one on the way. I will certainly be getting the matching announcements once she makes her arrival! The pink and gray are the colors I have chosen for her nursery too so it worked great!"

The charming medieval city of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, located in the Franconia region of Bavaria in Germany, has become a tourist hot spot. But one of its chief attractions is decidedly not charming: the Medieval Crime Museum (above), which is dedicated to the horror of the Dark Ages. It's full of creepy exhibits and instruments of torture, including the Schandmaske—a mask of shame made for public humiliation and ridicule. Each mask is designed to fit its victim's crime (one mask on display even has a muzzle shaped like a pig's snout). There's also a torture chair for bakers who sold undersized loaves of bread and a spinning Catherine wheel that victims were strapped to during public execution.
Wikimedia Commons2. PETRIFIED FOREST OF LESBOS, LESVOS, GREECE
Greece's Petrified Forest of Lesbos has been declared a protected monument of nature. The protected zone covers an area of 150,000 acres and includes hundreds of fossilized conifer trunks and fruiting trees. Volcanic materials blanketed the forest more than 20 million years ago, which caused it to become petrified. Now, as the volcanic material erodes away, the beautiful colors and patterns of the stone tree trunks are exposed.

Croatians have taken the modern-day hostel and transformed it into a unique experience with their rented lighthouses, which stretch along the Adriatic coast from Istria to Dubrovnik. For only $55 to $85 a day, visitors can spend the night in a private lighthouse on an isolated island. But the stay definitely isn't as glamorous as it might seem: Visitors report that the sheets are changed only once a week, and tourists need to bring their own water and supplies if they want to avoid drinking the reservoir water.
Thirty years ago, one of Chez Galip's friends left town for good. Before leaving, the woman left him a lock of hair for him to remember her by. So the Turkish potter and artist created the Avanos Hair Museum under his pottery shop in Cappadocia. Since then, most women who visit the museum leave locks of their hair—labeled with their addresses—behind. The museum is filled with more than 16,000 hair samples, which adorn every surface but the floor.

Vampire lovers who find themselves in Transylvania might want to swing by Bran Castle, which is marketed as the home of Prince Vlad of Wallachia, aka Vlad the Impaler, the man who inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula. Located in the village of Bran on the border of Transylvania and Romania, the castle was the second-most expensive property in the world and valued at $140 million, according to a 2007 Forbes article.
Wikimedia Commons6. CHERNOBYL NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UKRAINE
At the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine, daring tourists who aren't afraid of a little radiation can learn every detail of the Chernobyl nuclear accident and its effect on those who lived and worked around the area. Visitors will see a nuclear reactor, the ghost town of Pripyat, and the "red forest"—where nuclear radiation caused surrounding pine trees to turn a reddish orange. There is also the Chernobyl Museum in Kiev.
Brokenships.com7. MUSEUM OF BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS, ZAGREB, CROATIA
Olinka Vištica and Dražen Grubišić first conceived the idea of the Museum of Broken Relationships when they combed through their collection of tokens and gifts they had exchanged during their relationship. They decided to exhibit them and asked their friends to contribute their own collections. Over the years, they created a huge collection of items donated by divorced couples. Lingerie, toothbrushes, clothes, wedding dresses, and dental floss are among the items on display in the museum.

There were three separate shootings on Thursday in which it is believed the victims were "targeted."
The first incident occurred at approximately 5:12 p.m. at 3605 Brainerd Road at the Walgreens parking lot. There was an altercation in the lot when the victim ran away and headed towards the Rite Aid across the street. As the victim was fleeing, numerous shots were fired and the 30-year-old victim was struck. The suspects fled and the victim was transported to a local hospital, where he initially was listed in critical condition.
The victim was identified as Milton Patrick. He is now listed in stable condition.
The second incident occurred at 719 E 49th St. at approximately 5:46 p.m. where a 28-year-old man was shot in the arm. There was a disorder at the residence when the victim was shot and was later transported to a local hospital via a personally-owned vehicle. His injury is non-life-threatening. The suspect fled prior to police arrival.
The victim has been identified as Willie Lansden. He is also listed in stable condition.
Then at 10:51 p.m. Chattanooga Police responded to a shooting at 4107 Tennessee Ave. where they found 22-year-old Anthony Sherard suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to a local hospital where he was initially listed in critical condition, but is now stable.
It was reported to investigators that Sherard was in the front yard when the suspect(s) shot him and fled in a car.

Just perfect for artistic and tempting chocolate displays. So after a day of shopping, why not call in. Our team will be pleased to assist you and offer a taste or two.
The Tapping Man
Passersby and visitors to our Block Arcade store often express their delight at the sight of the famous Tapping Man. Handmade in the 1930s, he greeted shoppers in busy Swanston Street for over 40 years by tapping his cane on the window. He went missing in the 1970s but was later found and restored. He was placed in our store by the National Trust of Australia in 1998.

Sound with jack
Do you guys notice a low sound when you plug in your phone with jack to a stereo or something?
Is that even fixable. I've a beast stereo when it's plugged in to my pc and on my phone I have to set the volume of the stereo to max to have a bit of noisy music..
All songs are good quality and amplified enough to play loudly
NOTE 3 - Tapatalk - 01-12-2014, 09:03 AM #2
Re: Sound with jack
First thing - is it a low hum? does it change if you put your hand around the phone, or around the headphone jack on the phone while plugged in? have you tried a different cable? Also, instead of maxing the volume on the stereo, try turning that down and max out the volume on the phone first. Does that change anything?

Hey dancing-bass, are you thinking what im thinking? possibly a grounding issue between his phone and the stereo?

JPMorgan Chase has been involved in more than a dozen felonies. Why are we still doing business with it?
California cannot solve its budget problems by slashing services that have already been cut to the bone or raising sales taxes that hurt the poor far more than the rich. We are fighting over a pie that remains too small. The pie itself needs to be expanded—and it can be.

December 23, 2013, marks the 100th anniversary of the Federal Reserve. Has it achieved the purposes for which it was designed? For the banks, the Fed has served quite well. For the laboring masses whose populist movement prompted it, not much has changed in a century.
ephicharmus (CC BY 2.0)
Congress has the power to amend the Fed—just as it did in 1934, 1958 and 2010. For the central bank to satisfy its mandate to promote full employment and become an institution that serves all the people—not just the 1%—the Fed needs fundamental reform.

Global food control has nearly been achieved at grave cost to our health, and if the Trans-Pacific Partnership passes, control over not just our food but our health, our environment and our financial system will be in the hands of transnational corporations.

In Costa Rica, publicly-owned banks have been available for so long and work so well that people take for granted that any country that knows how to run an economy has a public banking option.
An Associated Press article in February confirmed a purchase order by the Department of Homeland Security for 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition. That's enough to sustain an Iraq-sized war for over twenty years. Someone in government seems to expect some serious civil unrest. Why?

Necessary banking services the post office performed efficiently in the past, such as infrastructure funding, serving the "underbanked," and providing a safe place to save your money, could be revived with a single legislative stroke.

Increased regulation and low interest rates are driving lending from the regulated commercial banking system into the unregulated shadow banking system. Although free of government regulation, these banks are propped up by a guarantee hidden in the 2005 Bankruptcy Reform Act pushed through by Wall Street. The result is a perverse incentive for the financial system to self-destruct.

Giant bank holding companies now own airports, toll roads, and ports; control power plants; and store and hoard vast quantities of commodities of all sorts. They are systematically buying up or gaining control of the essential lifelines of the economy. How did they pull this off, and where did they get the money?

The Detroit bankruptcy is looking suspiciously like the bail-in template originated by the G20's Financial Stability Board in 2011, which exploded on the scene in Cyprus in 2013 and is now becoming the model globally.

Moving San Francisco's money into a municipal bank would protect the city's deposits and reduce its debt burden. A chief roadblock to forming such a bank was recently overcome by a legal opinion issued by one of the city's deputy attorneys.

Rather than expanding the money supply, quantitative easing has actually caused it to shrink by sucking up the collateral needed by the shadow banking system to create credit. This "failure" has prompted the Bank for International Settlements to urge the Fed to shirk its mandate to pursue full employment, though the sort of QE that could fulfill that mandate has not yet been tried.

An international trend to shift responsibility for bank losses onto blameless depositors lets banks take and gamble away your money.
Former Peace Corps volunteer Will Ruddick and several residents of the Bangladesh slum in Kenya face a potential seven years in prison after developing a cost-effective way to alleviate poverty in Africa's poorest areas: a complementary currency issued and backed by the local community. The solution has brought charges of forgery from the country's central bank.
peasap (CC BY 2.0)
The new rules for keeping the too-big-to-fail banks alive allow for the use of creditor funds, including uninsured deposits, to recapitalize failing banks. In the event of another crisis, access to your money would depend on the security of the FDIC. The question, then, is how reliable is the FDIC?
mahalie (CC BY-SA 2.0)
With taxpayer bailouts no longer an option, a major derivatives crisis could transfer money currently held by state and local governments and citizens—secured and unsecured, insured and uninsured—into the hands of derivative claimants.
Confiscating customer deposits in Cyprus banks was not a one-off, desperate idea of a few eurozone "troika" officials scrambling to salvage their balance sheets. A joint paper by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Bank of England, dated Dec. 10, 2012, shows these plans have been long in the making.
loop_oh (CC BY-ND 2.0)
For now, the government of Cyprus has overwhelmingly rejected a proposed levy on bank deposits as a condition for a European bailout. But if technocrat bankers can push through their confiscation scheme, precedent will be established for doing it elsewhere when bank bailouts become prohibitive for governments.
Stuart Conner (CC BY-ND 2.0)
Money today is simply a legal agreement between parties. Nothing backs it but "the full faith and credit of the United States." The United States could issue its credit directly to fund its own budget, just as our forebears did in the American colonies and as Abraham Lincoln did in the Civil War.
DonkeyHotey (CC BY 2.0)
The trillion dollar coin represents one of the most important principles of popular prosperity ever conceived: the creation of money by sovereign governments, debt-free.
dps (CC BY 2.0)
Taxpayers and governments that are pushed too far have been known to resort to radical policy measures, and there are some on the table that could fix the problem at its core.
therichbrooks (CC BY 2.0)
The economy could use a good dose of "aggregate demand"—new spending money in the pockets of consumers—but QE3 won't do it. Neither will it trigger the dreaded hyperinflation. In fact, it won't do much at all. There are better alternatives.

You act as though the more mainstream animes are less enjoyable. I've watched quite a bit, and two of my favourites have been Bleach and Naruto. But there's some like Chobits, xxxHolic, Full Moon, and others that aren't exactly "mainstream" but I enjoyed.

You're too smug, really. You aren't "refined". You're just a smug purist who believes his or her tastes are better than others. I don't need a response from you, because in your delusion, you've gotten the roles reversed: You are beneath me.

Who cares if what they like is not the best anime out there they are fans of something and it doesn't hurt you so why do you care. If anything these "mainstream" anime contribute lots to the anime community as they draw new fans in who go on to watch anime that we all like and therefore give the studios more money to keep producing lots of new stuff.

cadaverbox (10/28/2012) [-]
They give the one studio money while the rest suffer.
Those fans almost never graduate from the childhood obsession kiddie **** which is why there are so many goddamn narutarded weeaboos everywhere. The mainstream anime doesn't make anime fans, it makes Naruto/Bleach/One Piece fans.

But this isn't living -- it's Florida and the neighborhood is not quite what it seems. It's got overly aggressive Little League parents, drug-free Rastafarians, homicidal hookers, unnatural sex and casual violence.

So it's only a matter of time before Jim up and actually kills somebody ...

The ex Deputy Governor of Gardabani Region Remains in Custody
23/09/05, Tbilisi, "Media News"- The regional court of Tbilisi sentenced the ex-deputy governor of Gardabani Telman Hassanov, to three months of preliminary custody. Hassanov's lawyers demanded house arrest for him, but the court has not satisfied their petition. Hassanov's advocates say that the court was not objective. "The court was carrying out the orders of a third person", - said the lawyer. Hassanov was arrested 10 days ago in the village Vakhtangisi, where he organized a non-sanctioned meeting.

Remember print books, those antiquated relics of a bygone age that pundits and prognosticators had forsaken and buried a long time ago? Apparently, they're back in vogue and not going away anytime soon, which should make digital publishers and authors sit up and take notice.
Jul 24, 2009
Times Publishing Co. announced the sale of Congressional Quarterly (CQ) to Roll Call Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Economist Group. Under the terms of the agreement, Roll Call purchased the assets of CQ to form a new company: CQ-Roll Call Group. The merged organization intends to maintain each company's editorial voice, and there are no current plans to eliminate any products. In addition, the majority of CQ's staff will join the new company, although some redundancies in specific areas will be identified over time.

House prices might be rising, but the reason is not a shortage of supply, an economist says.
Westpac economist Dominick Stephens says the growing gulf between house prices and rents shows financial factors, not housing supply, are driving prices.
According to the "house price-to-rent ratio", it takes about 30 years of rent to buy a median house, and that figure is rising.
Stephens says that where there are clear housing shortages, both rents and prices should shoot skywards. This is happening in Christchurch and Auckland, but elsewhere, rents are falling far behind, indicating that speculation or other factors are at play.
"Our finger is pointed firmly at low interest rates."
In 2002, just before the housing boom, houses were selling for the equivalent of 18 years of rent, but by the middle of 2007, that ratio had blown out to 33 years.
Most analysts expect house prices to rise around 7 per cent this year. The volume of house sales has also turned around. Sales last month were up at least 10 per cent in all regions except Taranaki.
"The implication of all this is that house prices will keep rising so long as interest rates remain low - but they could fall again when interest rates rise," Stephens says.
Even if house values are rising, it will take time for that to filter down to rents, adds Massey University property expert Bob Hargreaves.
He says rents are generally constrained by wage growth.
Landlords are often dealing with people with accommodation supplements or low incomes and they are "very conscious that if they charge too much they get people moving out".
Westpac data shows rental yields halved between 2003 and 2007, but investors shrugged these off because of strong capital gains and tax advantages.
