The graduation ceremonies are held for Kai, Miwa, and Misaki. Aichi has one more year left of school, but he delivers the good luck address for Misaki's class. After the graduation they all head to Card Capital for the shop tournament. On the way, Aichi and his classmates see Kourin along with the rest of Ultra Rare shooting a commercial for Ultra Water. Despite Kourin no longer having memories of Aichi, he and his friends are nonetheless content that she is doing well. Ultra Rare is hired after the current commercial to do a Cardfight commercial, and they appear to be given their original vanguard cards. The Capital Shop Tournament begins with many old friends and rivals participating, including Team Handsome,Team Caesar,Team SIT Genius, and Team Dreadnought. In the midst of all the action, Leon asks Aichi what he will do now. Although Aichi is undecided, he says that he will look at his friends for inspiration as he sees them all as his vanguard. The shop tournament reaches its climax with Aichi and Kai facing off in the final match. When Aichi asks Kai what he will do, Kai responds that he has accepted Gaillard's invitation to go to Europe. Even though Aichi and Kai both know that they will be separated, they remain confident that they will cross paths again as long as they continue playing Vanguard.
