History Anime / CardfightVanguardVSeries

** Esuka is this of the Shinemon Arc, but unlike the other examples, she's just a businesswoman who wants to take over Card Capital.

An upcoming fourth arc has been announced and will be set ten years before the events of the previous three, following Shinemon "Shin" Nitta's attempt to prevent the Card Capital shop from going out of business while the owner of a major card shop attempts to take it over.

** [[Anime/YoKaiWatch Nathan and Jibanyan]] appear in the cross during the idol concept in Remind 17.

** Remind 2 has Mikuru reminding Rive that he's supposed to buy diapers for his baby son who's hair can be described as a Lemniscate of Bernoulli, a mosquito coil or an archimedean spiral or in simpler terms "Swirly" which all clearly refer to Chrono.

* MythologyGag: In Remind 2 Shinemon uses the same pencil trick Chrono used during an exam.

** The costumers don't truly 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 [[spoiler:Esuka's butler in disguise]].
** It's clear that they went into the red since they didn't get any compensation for the tournament especially since they organized it more like a school festival instead of a shop tournament.

* ScrewDestiny: The PSYQualia Zombies gaining the ability to foresee visions of their victory against their opponents. Some characters such as Kai, Ibuki, and Ren are able to defy those visions.

** In the "Shinemon" arc the episodes are called "Remind" which clearly is a refers that the arc is a {{Prequel]].

** Accel clans focus on offense and as a result give the imaginary gifts give the fighter a new Rear Guard Circle in the front row. Clans with this marker also have access to Front Triggers which give all the units in the front row more power.
*** Accel (I): The gift marker grants the player an extra Rear Guard circle in the front row and while you cannot boost it with a unit, any unit on it gains an extra 10,000 power on that player's turn. The first Accel marker will be placed next to the left most circle on the left, then the right most circle on the right, and then the left again and so on and so forth.

** Force clans focus on a balance between offence and defense, as a result their gift markers focus on giving units more power or criticals and their Grade 3 have more base power than Grade 3 units of Accel or Protect clans.

** Protect clans focus more on defense. As a result their Gift Markers give the fighter new ways of increasing it which is either getting a new Sentinel card or giving their units more Shield.

* DemotedToExtra: 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 episode 27.

** The 2nd Season VD somehow takes this even further than the previous Arc since know even characters from the [[Anime/CardfightVanguardG G era]] are appearing which starts with just Mamoru Anjou, but the next Arc will have several of them appearing in Shin Nitta's {{Prequel}}.

** Remind 2 has Mikuru reminding Rive that he's supposed to buy diapers for his baby son who's hair she and Rive describe as a Lemniscate of Bernoulli, a mosquito coil or an archimedean spiral or in simpeler terms "Swirly" which all clearly refer to Chrono.

** The second arc has a straighter exemple in the form of [[spoiler:the Destiny Conductor]].
* BittersweetEnding: The Highschool arc ends this way, although with more emphasis on the "sweet" part. [[spoiler:Aichi defeats the Destiny Conductor, ending the threat he posed to both Planet Cray and Vanguard and freeing Takuto from being possessed. Furhermore, the fate of the Conductor's own planet, Brandt, is implied to have changed for the better and Ibuki is regaining his love of Vanguard. At the same time, the Conductor's defeat causes the Tatsunagi sisters to be freed from their role as Takuto's Called Walkers but this also means that their destiny will return from normal and their friends will lose their memories of them since it will be as though their current selves will have never existed. However, Aichi and the other members of the Miyaji Cardfight Club promise to Kourin they will meet again at the Vanguard Koshien. Additionally, the fighters "deleted" by Ibuki still have their connection to Vanguard severed although it seems possible for them to eventually regain it.]]
* BookEnds: The first fight, or at least the firts one to be fully shown on screen, and last fight of the show's first arc both feature Aichi facing against Kai. Aichi even ends both fights with Blaster Blade as his vanguard.

* ContinuityReboot: Towards the original anime ''and'' manga. Being a mix of the manga story and characters, but with characters that only appeared in the anime such as Gouki, Nagisa and Leon also appearing. Later on, characters from ''G'' start appearing as well.

** In ''V'' the episodes are called "Images".
** In ''V series continued'' the episodes are called "Dimensions".
** In the "Shinemon" arc the episodes are called "Remind".

* NotHisSled: While the plot is mostly the same, but some of the fights tend to go differently since the game has developed a lot throughout the years although this series is a ContinuityReboot.

** In ''VD'' the episodes are called "Dimensions"

** The high school tournament in the manga was covered in the span of two chapters and mostly served as an epilogue for the story. Here, the Vanguard Koshien is expanded into being its own arc. However this is downplayed since the arc only lasted 15 episodes as a result of the Shinemon arc. On top of that only brief clips of fights were shown.

** In Dimension 10, you can see Henri Hayao from ''G: Next'' watching the Vanguard Koshien which references his role in that season.

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: This time episodes are called "Images".

Cardfight!! Vanguard V series began airing in May 5th, 2018. It's an anime based on the manga made by Akira Ito. Just like the original series, it's about a young shy boy called Aichi Sendou who one day met Toshiki Kai who gave him the card "Blaster Blade". When one day his card got stolen by bullies, he was forced to fight against Kai to get it back. The first arc (called the "Foo Fighter" Arc) is about his journey to becoming a more confident person and getting more friends along with discovering the mystic powers surrounding the game and getting in conflict with the card gang Foo Fighters.

* TheCameo: As of episode 27, the Milky Holmes girls are back as recurring background cameos.

* OvertookTheManga: Naturally this would happen since the Manga ended in October 7, 2017 which is around half a year before the V Series began. As a result the Shinemon arc is an anime exclusive.

** Force clans focus on a balance between offence and defence, as a result their gift markers focus on giving units more power or criticals and their Grade 3 have more base power than Grade 3 units of Accel or Protect clans.

* CosmicRetcon: Downplayed exemple. [[spoiler:The defeat of the Destiny Conductor means that Kourin, Suiko and Rekka lose their status as Called Walkers and their destiny will return to what it should have been, erasing them from their friends' memories and making it as though they never met them. However, it is later shown the consequences of the events that took place and led to the Conductor's defeat remain and some of the people affected have a feeling that something is missing.]]

** The high school tournament in the manga was covered in the span of two chapters and mostly served as an epilogue for the story. Here, the Vanguard Koshien is expanded into being its own arc.

* BigBad: As the leader of the Foo Fighters group of cardfighters, and the strongest among them, Ren is this for the first arc. However, it was [[DragonInChief Tetsu]] who was responsible for the events of said arc as it was him who proposed the group raids other card shops.

** The 2nd Season VD somehow takes this even further than the previous Arc since know even characters from the ''[[CardfightVanguardG G]]'' era are appearing which starts with just Mamoru Anjou, but the next Arc will have several of them appearing in Shin Nitta's {{Prequel}}.

* The preview of Dimension 7, Gouki and Koutei talk with Mamoru about his helpfulness and how they picture him slaving away at an exploitative company working under a feckless supervisor.

** Season 1 is rather downplayed since it uses many plot elements of season 1 with characters added from the first 2 seasons to give some characters more focus compared to the manga.
** Season 2 takes this even further. It uses plot elements of season 3 combined with the Neon Messiah movie with cards based of season 4 units appearing.

* FinalBossPreview: Image 17 has Ren defeat Misaki right after she won against Asaka, showing how strong he and his [=PSYQualia=] are.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In Image 6, Kai notes that the "Wind" has picked up, hinting that he may have Psyqualia like his Manga counterpart. [[spoiler:Confirmed, as of Image 25.]]

The reboot to the original Anime/CardfightVanguard series.

%%The third arc

%%The fourth arc is about
