History Anime / CardfightVanguardVSeries

A video game based on the reboot called ''Cardfight!! Vanguard EX'' and developed by [=FuRyu=] has been released on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 and UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch on September 19 of 2019. It features its own storyline as well a brand new protagonist named Izuru Shidou and other game-exclusive characters.

*** Chrono doesn't recall the events from ten years ago because he was too young at the time. What little he does remember only MakesSenseInContext, and Chrono doesn't have any. Not to mention, it took an external factor for him to remember that tiny bit, rather than recall it on him own.

*** It turns out that contrary to Shinemon's expectations that running a shop is a lot harder than it looks. Esuka was able to make several points in which Shinemon and other others failed in which includes: The fact that some of the costumers don't take Shinemon serious as manager at first since he's still in high school and Esuka even stated that most costumers came because they were returning costumers. While he and his friends were able to make a fun event, they weren't able to profit from it since they are all too young to understand how the business side of a store works, not to mention the fact that a manager should be able to organize it by himself and can't rely on volunteers to help him. And the final nail to coffin is the reveal that luck and ContrivedCoincidence sometimes doesn't truly exist since it turns out the person who helped them pay for the Valkerion costume through buying the tuna from them was actualy [[spoiler:Esuka's butler in disguise]].

** In the Shinemon arc the episodes are called "Remind", which clearly is a [[JustForPun reminder]] that the arc is a {{Prequel}}.

** As the plot of ''G'' is largely kept to the final two episodes of ''Shinemon'', and only covers Chrono's introduction to Vanguard, most of the G cast are giving cameos at best, with Shion, Tokoha, and Kumi in particular being shown watching Chrono from afar at school, the latter two asking Chrono about his DesperatelySearchingForAPurposeInLife, and the former noticing him arrive at Card Capital as he's leaving. The few exceptions are ones giving connections to the prior cast, such a Mamoru forming a bond with Kai, or the characters tied to Shin's past.

A video game based on the reboot called ''Cardfight!! Vanguard EX'' and developed by [=FuRyu=] has been announced for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 and UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch and is set to be released on September 19 of 2019. It will feature its own storyline as well a brand new protagonist named Izuru Shidou and other game-exclusive characters.

** In the first episode of the -IF- arc, Ibuki tries to cardfight against a Jammer only to get rejected and getting saved by the Blaster Pair, [[spoiler:in the final episode the same thing happens to Aichi albeit in a stage show]].

** Many side characters from the original series here make only brief cameos. Kamui's two pals Eiji and Reiji appear only in a flashback where Kyou defeats them in a Serious Fight and they quit playing Vanguard because of that, various minor characters from original Season 1 like Osamu or Team Brilliant Stars appear briefly to get curb stomped by Aichi in his fight against Foo Fighters members, while the other two members of Team Caesar, Jillian and Sharlene, and the Miyaji High school council have only brief cameos in early episodes of the second arc, Albeit the High School council became relevant in the third arc.

** In the "Shinemon" arc the episodes are called "Remind" which clearly is a [[JustForPun reminder]] that the arc is a {{Prequel}}.

** In -If- 12, that world's Ren insist that he and Ibuki should continue their fight even as the building is collapsing,bringing in mind the "CARDFIGHTS ON AVALANCHES" scene from the original series's Asia Circuit.

* OriginsEpisode: If 7 shows how Emi met Shuka and became a magical girl.

** The next episode anticipations are often filled with them.

** In the If Arc Ibuki tries to fight a Jammer with Vanguard, only to be attacked by it since as Emi and Shuka put it, playing a cardgame against a monster is a ridiculous idea.

* TokenNonHuman: In the -IF- arc, [[spoiler:Shuka]] reveals to Suiko that [[spoiler:she is in fact an Elemental]] and asks her not to tell Emi.

** Shinemon was a badass cardfighter in the original too, but here he has a ''Grade '''5''''' unit.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Because the Shinemon arc is far more grounded compared to the previous seasons, you tend to see a lot of this with the arc.
** Shinemon holing himself up in Capital to protect it naturally causes him to miss class and thus he risks failing class and repeating a year.
** It turns out that contrary to Shinemon's expectations that running a shop is a lot harder than it looks. Esuka was able to make several points in which Shinemon and other others failed in which includes:
*** At first some of the costumers don't take him serious as manager since he's still in high school and Esuka even stated that most costumers came because they were returning costumers.
** As it turns out luck and ContrivedCoincidence sometimes doesn't truly exist since it turns out the person who bought the tuna from them was actualy [[spoiler:Esuka's butler in disguise]].
** While they did manage to make a fun event, they weren't able to make profit from it since they are all too young to understand how the business side of a store works.
** Rive tries out the Gear Chronicle deck he got from Ryuzu at the Asia Circuit and he naturally loses, because not only is he fighting against a very skilled player at regional if not national level, but it is also the first time he uses it and there isn't any knowledge of the clan he could learn beforehand. In contrast Shinemon and Nanami were able to blitz trough the rankings at Esuka's with the Kagero deck from that shop since it was explicidly made for beginners and thus easier to use.
** What happens when you leave a grieving ChildProdigy with a fat inheritance and a lot of means, but absolutely no supervision or emotional support? Their mental state makes a downwards spiral, they become reckless and potentially suicidal, loose their ability to think clearly, and think they're entitled to do whatever they want. That's what happens with [[spoiler:Tatsuya]].
** In the end Shinemon [[spoiler:loses the fight against Kanzaki at the Asia Circuit since there is no way he can fight normally after someone close to him just suddenly disapeared in front of his eyes]].
** After the 10 year time-skip, Kanzaki, Ryotaro and [[spoiler:Ryuzu]] don't recognise Shinemon because he has changed too much and they haven't kept in touch.
** Chrono doesn't recall the events from ten years ago because he was too young at the time. What little he does remember only MakesSenseInContext, and Chrono doesn't have any. Not to mention, it took an external factor for him to remember that tiny bit, rather than recall it on him own.
** Mikuru [[PursueTheDreamJob started her own business in the make-up industry which she dreamt since she was a child]]... but she's in the red and doesn't have the time to spend with Chrono.
** Chrono is aware of his aunt's financial situation, which is why he's trying to make money and live on his own. You can't hide that stuff from the one keeping house.
** By the time Aichi's era began, Shin has become a full time manager of Card Capital, thus after so many years apart, Nanami finds herself disappointed that Shin can't join her for one more tournament. Shin has moved on from his life as a fighter and has drifted apart from his old friends, and while this can be a chance to reconnect, he has too many responsibilities to go with her.
