A Knight in Shining Armor + The Love of a Guiding Star

It's time for the first birthday of the week, and it's for two characters who share the same birthday! We've got a heroic blond knight to the rescue, and a selfish CEO who cares for his employees while achieving his dream! Everyone, say happy birthday to Kourin Tatsunagi from Cardfight!! Vanguard and Taizo Kiyokura from Cardfight!! Vanguard will+Dress and DivineZ!

Let's start with og overrated waifu, Kourin!

Kourin Tatsunagi is one of the main characters introduced within the original Cardfight!! Vanguard series. In all iterations, Kourin is part of the idol group known as Ultra-Rare along with her sisters Rekka Tatsunagi and Suiko Tatsunagi. They are backed by the Tatsunagi family who work to spread Vanguard across the world! However, they secretly watch over the events that happen within Planet Cray, the world that the card game takes place in, as both Earth and Cray are connected...it is up to the Tatsunagi family to observe and guard both planets. Kourin would later enter Miyaji Academy and help create a Vanguard club with the protagonist Aichi Sendou, making a lot of new friends along the way!

Personality wise, Kourin is a no-nonsense woman who can instantly switch from that moody serious personality to a very cheerful and sincere idol in a snap. While on stage, she appears to be the standard image of an idol that smiles and is fairly happy. When not on stage, she becomes serious and level-headed, barely opening up and keeping her problems to herself. She knows what she wants, and knows how to get it as well as having an eye for talent! She is also sometimes referred to as a tsundere. Although she can be rude and confrontational, she slowly begins to open up to her new friends and adores them with all of her heart, wanting to keep her precious memories of them!

Kourin is voiced by Suzuko Mimori who's known for voicing Umi Sonoda from the Love Live! series, Asumi Fuurin/Cure Earth from Healin' Good Pretty Cure, Sophie Belle from Cardfight!! Vanguard will+Dress, Kokomi Sangonomiya from Genshin Impact, Sora Takenouchi during Digimon Adventure tri. and Last Evolution Kizuna, Hikari Kagura from the Revue Starlight series, Rapunzel from Goddess of Victory: Nikke, Rin/Suzune from the Senran Kagura series, Gullveig and Heithr from Fire Emblem Heroes, Hiyoko Saionji from the Danganronpa series, Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Stella from The Angry Birds Movie, Orphis from High School DxD, Kanzashi Sarashiki from Infinite Stratos, Galleon from Granblue Fantasy, and so much more!

In the manga and 2018 reboot anime, Kourin runs a Gold Paladin Clan deck that belongs to the United Sanctuary Nation, a nation filled with technological knights and magic. Gold Paladin serves as the cooperation of the well known Royal and Shadow Paladin Clans, putting aside their differences in order to defeat the enemy! Their mechanic is always calling more and more friends from your hand and the top cards of your deck in order the flood the field, even during the battle phase! Koruin's ace is Incandescent Lion, Blond Ezel who bypasses the usual leveling up system in Vanguard! Okay, so when you play the game, you can only summon cards that have an equal or less level than your leader and you level up your leader during the beginning of your turn in a phase that is known as "riding" where you place a card on top of your current leader with a level equal to or higher than your leader. Ezel is able to bypass ALL of that! If you have his specific allies, Ezel is able to summon himself as your current leader for FREE while your opponent is still at the weaker stages of the game, allowing you to hit them HARD. When Ezel attacks, +1,000 attack for each of your Gold Paladin allies! But when you have four or more damage, Ezel's special ability activates! He calls the top card of your deck and gives himself power equal to the card summoned! Ezel has always relied on the bypassing requirements, allowing him and his allies to constantly swarm the field with lots and LOTS of attackers to finish the game!

In the 2011 anime, Kourin runs a Royal Paladin Clan deck that belongs to the United Sanctuary Nation as well! Royal Paladin is the favorite child of the Vanguard series since they are the knights of truth, justice, and order Their gimmick is based on the power of friendship where they gain power from calling allies and gaining power from how many you have! Kourin has ran a bunch of Paladin decks, but the one that everyone remembers her using are the Jewel Knights, specifically Leading Jewel Knight, Salome! During the main phase, Salome can call any Jewel Knight from your deck to your field as long as you pay the cost! But when you are at four damage or more, her special ability activates! If you have four or more Jewel Knight cards, Salome gains an extra +2,000 attack and deals extra damage to the opponent! The Jewel Knights have become infamous for being piloted by Kourin's hands and for being a waifu deck, so there's a lot of fans who love the Jewel Knights! Their mechanic of being able to call more Jewel Knights allows them to multiattack as well, being able to push for high damage and force your opponent into a corner!

Unlike most fans, I'm pretty eh about Kourin. I really adore her as a character, but for me, she's just- eh- I mean this in like a waifu way- I can understand why people love her and call her their waifu, but I don't really see her as one since I'm not really attracted to her. But as a character, I really adore Kourin and wish to give her a lot of platonic hugs! Kourin is a very overrated character, and I can see why since her growth as a serious individual to someone who doesn't want to lose her precious memories of her friends is very adorable to see! But then...Cardfight!! Vanguard IF ruined Kourin for me...the character assassination of Kourin was just...ugh...yeah, I understand she wasn't in her right mind when she was the main villain, but it was still...ugh...I really hated it...which is why I choose to ignore it lol. BUT PLAYING AGAINST IN WHEN SHE'S USING EZEL IN VANGUARD EX IS VERY UNFAIR SINCE SHE KEEPS KICKING MY ASS LEGIT FUCK YOU KOURIN-

Anyways, I think she deserves a fic!

Kourin Tatsunagi x Gender-Neutral Reader

"Oh noooooooo~"

You dramatically fell onto the floor of Miyaji Academy, placing a hand over your forehead while pretending to sob. "I won't be able to pass the test next week~! I don't understand any of the material~!" you rapidly blinked, flashing your eyelids over towards the idol that had been packing her bags. "If only there was a dashing and incredibly intelligent but mostly beautiful knight to help me with my troubles~!" you flashed your eyelids over towards Tatsunagi Kourin once more as she attempted to pass you and bolt towards the door.

"O-oh nooo!" you panicked. "I-if only there was a beautiful blond knight nearby-!"

Her pace had increased as you scrambled over to her, grabbing the leg of the idol. "I-I'm sorry Kourin, I'm being serious here! I don't think I'm gonna pass this test, please help me study please please please please please please please!!!!!"

A sigh left her lips as the usually stoic idol glanced towards your pathetic display. "If…you wanted to study together…you could have just said so." Kourin grumbled as she pulled her phone out of her bag. "Fine…we can study at my place."

"Yaaaaaaaaaaay~!!!!!!!!" you cheered, pulling the woman into a tight hug. "Thank you Kourin~! I love you sooooo much~!"

"H-hey! Let go of me-!"

Happy birthday Kourin!

Now let's talk about Taizo!

Taizo Kiyokura is one of the rivals introduced within Cardfight!! Vanguard will+Dress. He's a young CEO who wishes to balance his duties as a Pro Vanguard player with his duties as the CEO of the Kiyokura Group! When not working, he can be seen participating in Vanguard matches and helping out his own team, Kiyokura Anchor Bolts, to victory! Taizo wishes to prove to his father that he can balance both Vanguard and his duties as a CEO, and does his best to work towards that dream! He would become a main character in the next era of Vanguard known as Cardfight!! Vanguard DivineZ where he would be chosen by a mysterious talking plushie named Gabwelius to participate in the Fated Clash, a supernatural Vanguard tournament where six players that represent the six different nations of the game fight in order to grant their wish!...to which Taizo declined. He values his hard work after all, but all of that would change when a mysterious individual begged him to participate in the Fated Clash...for those who would participate in the Fated Clash...would die...wanting to stop that and get to the bottom of this situation, Taizo accepts his entry and participates in the Fated Clash as the representative of Brandt Gate, wielding his partner the Fated One of Guiding Star, Welstra "Blitz Arms"! After the Fated Clash, Taizo would continue to be a main character until DivineZ season 3 where his company would build the Kiyokura Dome in order to help host the biggest Vanguard tournament called the Deluxe!

Personality wise, Taizo is a very chill and laid-back man who loves his job, employees, and Vanguard! He works hard in order to balance and connect his love for his job and Vanguard! He's a kind and welcoming young man who doesn't care about formalities and often treats his employees like family! In fact, they love him so much that they support his dream and often call him CEO as a nickname! Taizo is just a very friendly individual who loves to collect Vanguard cards, play Vanguard, and loves to compete in general! He's a very sincere and kind older brother figure who will always help you out when needed! Plus, he knows a lot about business!

Taizo is voiced by Takumi Mano who's known for voicing Chrono Shindou from Cardfight!! Vanguard: Shinemon Arc since his original actor was sick, Reon Misono from ARGONAVIS From BanG Dream!, Yuga Mikado from Future Card Shin Buddyfight, Ohki Kobayashi from The Fruit of Evolution: Before I Knew It, My Life Had It Made, Gazelle from I've Somehow Gotten Stronger When I Improved My Farm-Related Skills, Miliais Cristal from As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World, Jin Dalba from Black Summoner, Feng Jin from Re:STARS: Two Shining Stars Connect to the Future, and so much more! Unfortunately, it seems like most of the characters he has voiced are background characters, but let me know if there's anything I missed!

In will+Dress, Taizo ran a Brandt Gate Nation deck, a technological nation locked in an endless tundra that defends their world against galactic threats. Taizo's ace unit is the level 3 CEO named Blitz CEO, Welstra who focuses on using his company's products to deal devastating damage! These products take the form of field spell cards (in Yu-Gi-Oh! terms) known as "Products" and have many different abilities like dealing free damage to the opponent, decreasing the power of the opponent's cards, increasing your own power, drawing cards, and so much more! However, these can only be activated when Welstra or his employees is in charge! When Welstra attacks, he operates one of the Products in the field spell zone, summoning it to your field as an attacker before returning to the field spell zone. Then, Welstra gains an extra +5,000 attack each time a Product is operated, gaining a bunch of power that stacks when a bunch of Products are used! Although you can only activate one spell card once per turn, Welstra and his employees have multiple ways to activate these Products and use their effects, pushing for extra damage!

In DivineZ, Welstra would get an upgrade and become the Fated One of Guiding Star, Welstra "Blitz Arms" His first effect is to pay a cost in order to operate a Product from your field spell zone and give Welstra an extra +5,000 attack! However, Welstra possess a Divine Skill like the rest of the Fated Ones, a skill that can only be activated once per game, which allows him to activate two Products from your hand, and then operate a Product in your field spell zone! Compared to the rest of the Fated Ones, Welstra's Divine Skill can feel a bit lackluster since most of them allow you to gain big amounts of power, gain extra attacks, or literally keep yourself in the game by bypassing the losing conditions! Hell, that's what I thought too! But after seeing it in action, Welstra's Divine Skill is actually really good! Remember how I said you can only activate one spell card per turn? This new Welstra allows you to activate your best Products without hesitation and gain a BUNCH of advantage! Plus, this new Welstra still works perfectly with the old support, allowing you to summon a BUNCH of Products in order to pressure your opponent! Plus, it's even possible to activate the same Product multiple times since their effects aren't once per turn, making some VERY interesting interactions where you can force your opponent's cards into the NEGATIVE numbers! YEAH, you can go past zero attack points in Vanguard! When Welstra gets serious, he CAN push you into a losing situation if you're not prepared! Hell, he was able to push back one of the main rivals to -8,000 attack points! And this was BEFORE Fated Welstra was introduced! If you're fighting an experienced Welstra player, you better have a good plan to survive!

Ah, Taizo! The adorable himbo!!!! I absolutely ADORE Taizo since he does so much to prove his love for his company, its employees, and Vanguard! Plus, he's VERY empathetic and sympathetic which is shown in season 2 of DivineZ since there's some information outside of the episode that states when Taizo realized that the past came back to haunt the gang, he felt VERY guilty for not being able to do anything before like AHHHHHH SUCH A SWEETHEART TAIZOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! He's a really cute and adorable himbo, and I'm sure you all will love him too! Also Welstra is scary too like god damn but also lowkey hot-

ANYWAYS FIC FOR TAIZO LET'S GOOOOOO

Taizo Kiyokura x Gender-Neutral Reader

Kiyokura Taizo had been working endlessly on his computer, setting aside the files on his desk and organizing his thoughts into the document on his screen. The sounds of his sighs, mutters, and typing could be heard within the high rise office as Taizo glanced towards one of the files on his desk, opening it. "Let's see…there's nothing I'm forgetting, right?"

Just then, a buzz could be heard from a pager on his desk. Taizo pressed a button, answering it. "It's me. What's up?"

"Sir, (L/N) (Y/N) is here to see you."

His face froze as his skin turned pale. Taizo frantically scrambled through his desk, finally finding his phone and turning it on to find a few of your missed calls. "Ah…this is bad…" he winced, glancing at the time before turning to the pager. "Let them in."

"Understood."

Taizo groaned, head in his hands. "Damnit…I got wrapped up in work that I forgot about our date…it's fine, I can just finish this up right now, and we can head out." Taizo gently slapped his face, sitting himself back into his chair and stretching his hands. "Alright, time to lock in!"

Minutes passed while the frustrated typing echoed until a knock was heard at the door. Taizo gulped, quickly glancing at his reflection in a window and fixing his outfit dashing towards the door and opening it. "Listen, I-!"

"Stop!" you huffed, your hands clenching a take out meal and some drinks. "I know you're busy, Taizo. You're a CEO after all."

"Sorry.." Taizo apologized. "I didn't mean to forget our date.."

"I don't mind," you softly smiled. "I'm more worried about you, Taizo. Which is why," you gestured towards the meal in your hands. "I got you something to eat~! You must be starving after working so much!"

"Y-yeah…" Taizo awkwardly chuckled. "Thanks for this, (Y/N). I really appreciate it."

"Anytime~!" you winked. "I may not be good at business, but I'm still your partner and I'll do my best to help you with whatever I can~!"

Happy birthday Taizo!

Your Vow Towards the Fontaine + To Overcome

We've got another double birthday today~! Today, we'll be celebrating the birth of one of my FAVORITE Brandt Gate users from the Cardfight!! Vanguard series AND my favorite Cure within Healin' Good Pretty Cure! Everyone, say happy birthday to the Berserk Fighter from Cardfight!! Vanguard DivineZ Season 2 Senka Kanae and the Pretty Cure of intersecting streams, Chiyu Sawaizumi aka Cure Fontaine from Healin' Good Pretty Cure!

Let's start with Chiyu!

Chiyu Sawaizumi is one of the main Cures within Healin' Good Pretty Cure and is the second member to join the team. She's introduced as a sporty girl who loves to exercise and helps her family run their hot spring inn. She would encounter the main girl, Nodoka Hanadera, and introduce her to her family's inn until a Megabyogen attacks and infects the water element. Chiyu witnesses Nodoka transform into Cure Grace until she becomes injured in the fight. Chiyu immediately talks to the fairy known as Pegitan about letting her transform, and constantly reassures the penguin with her kind words. With his help, Chiyu defeats the enemy by transforming into the Precure of intersecting streams, Cure Fontaine!

Personality wise, Chiyu is a very hygienic and cheerful woman who often acts like an older sister. She's responsible and is always carrying things upon her shoulders. She's smart and athletic as well! Chiyu has always loved the ocean and sky ever since she was a child which would inspire her to become an athlete and always tries to improve herself! Chiyu also loves puns!

Chiyu is voiced by Yorita Natsu who's known for voicing Anzu from Dandadan, Jupiter from takt op. Symphony, Moran from Goddess of Victory: Nikke, Fiona Demetra from Balan Wonderland, Da Qiao from Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Laios Touden from Dungeon Meshi, Amin from Romantic Killer, young Yuu Izumi from Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie, Ikkaku from Beyblade X, Izumi from Gleipnir, Chiharu Kumadori from Kawaisugi Crisis, Ryouta from Mato Seihei no Slave, Airu from Miru: Watashi no Mirai, and so much more!

CHIYUUUUU!!!! I honestly thought Hinata would be my favorite but now I think it's gotta be Chiyu- I just love her flowing hair in her Cure form! Also she's paired up with Pegitan who legit reminds me of Piplup from Pokemon and it's my favorite water starter sooooo- anyways uh I think Chiyu is hella adorable even though I haven't seen Healin Good but I do know I'm gonna love her a lot she looks hella cute and adorable and I really wanna spoil her-! Plus, I got lots of Chiyu merch! Remember how I said I got lots of Star Twinkle and Healin Good merch at a flea market? The Healin Good stuff I bought had LOTS of Chiyu merch sooo I maaaaaaay have bought it all uwu

Smile for the camera pegitan uwu

But yeah I like Chiyu she's hella cute and I love her outfit also these bracelets are super cute im too scared to break them though but I wanna wear them they're so CUUUUUUUUUUTEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Chiyu Sawaizumi/Cure Fontaine x (Possibly) Gender-Neutral Reader (Relationship is open to Reader's interpretation)

"Alright, that's enough! Let's take a break!"

Sawaizumi Chiyu continued to pant as she attempted to catch her breath, sweat trickling down her forehead before wiping them away with her arm.

"Here~"

Chiyu shrieked as the sudden cold touch sent shivers down her body. "(Y/N)!" huffed, glancing behind her to spot you with a cold bottle of water in your hands.

"Whaaaat~?" you teased. "You looked like you were really hot after all that exercising, so I thought you'd like something cold pressed against your skin!"

"Well…." Chiyu sighed, grabbing the water bottle and placing it against her neck. "Yes, but at least warn me first!"

"Kaaaaaay," you chuckled. "Anything you need me to do? I can get a towel for you."

"You really are prepared, aren't you?" Chiyu asked before drinking from the bottle.

"Well I promised you, didn't I?" you smiled. "I said I was gonna do everything in my power to assist you with your dreams!"

"You don't have to- I'm sure you have your own dreams to accomplish as well."

"I do!" you nodded. "It's to be your coach~!"

Chiyu couldn't help but chuckle as a smile appeared on her lips. "My coach? Really?"

"Mhm~! If I wanna help you, then I gotta do my best to become a coach that can assist you!"

Another sigh left her lips as Chiyu turned towards you. "…thank you, (Y/N). It really does mean a lot to me."

"Anytime~! I'll always be here to support you~!"

Happy birthday Chiyu!

Now, let's talk about Senka~!

Senka Kanae is one of the newest rivals introduced within Cardfight!! Vanguard DivineZ, being introduced in Season 2. Senka is the main rival to the lead girl Nao Inabe and has known her since childhood. She could never beat Nao as a kid, so she vowed to become stronger and left their hometown until she could become strong enough to defeat her, promising to fight her as a pro player. As an adult, Senka is one of the top three newest pro players to hit the scene and has continued to win whatever match she participates in! However...it's not enough. She's been waiting for Nao to fight her as a pro for so long, and yet...Nao still isn't a pro player. How long does Senka have to wait? One night, she was approached by a mysterious talking stuffed animal who would help her unleash her desire to finally defeat Nao once and for all...to do this, Senka had to participate in the Destined Showdown, a tournament where Senka and five other members would fight against Nao's team in order to grant a wish...Senka would then be granted the Destined One of Exceedance, Impauldio and vowed to win against Nao!

By the end of Season 2 and through Season 3 known as the DELUXE Arc, Senka, Nao, and many other players would be invited to DELUXE, another Vanguard tournament that would test the skills of all players! Of course, Senka signed up and declared she would beat Nao on the stage!

Personality wise, Senka is a very competitive and outgoing woman who's always enjoying every match she plays in Vanguard! Whether it be against someone weaker than her or stronger, Senka is always having a blast and is always searching for worthy opponents! Even if she loses, Senka doesn't mind! She just sees it as an obstacle to overcome hence her being the Destined One of Exceedance! She's always looking for new obstacles to overcome like her rival Nao! She always loves being pushed to the edge during the game so she can clap back with as much force as she can! She loves plastic model kits, window shopping, and cool clothes too! She also loves to put Tabasco sauce on a bunch of stuff!

Originally, Senka was voiced by Izumi Kitta who's known for voicing . However, she would be replaced so she could go on maternity leave. She would later reprise her role for DivineZ Season 4 and voice Senka in the English dub of the DivineZ anime! Izumi Kitta is known for voicing Rainbow Dash from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Misaki Tokura from Cardfight!! Vanguard, Rii Uzawa from BanG Dream!, Tomoko Kuroki from WataMote, Creo Brand from the Freezing series, Queen from the Shining Hearts series, Cordelia Glauca from Tantei Opera Milky Holmes, Zarufa Opal from World War Blue, Suzu Saotome from Tokyo Ravens, Noboru Kodo from Future Card Buddyfight, Yuu Momokino from Triage X, Mia Shining from Lego Friends, Anji Guravuite from Motto! SoniComi, and so much more!

In DivineZ DELUXE Arc (aka season 3), she was voiced by Ayase Itou who's known for voicing Arisa Ichigaya from BanG Dream! Girls Band Party, Cipher from Honkai: Star Rail, Saya Yatomi from Cardfight!! Vanguard G, Hitomi Kouzouji from Cardfight!! Vanguard: Shinemon Arc, Maira Tsukishima from Mewklwdreamy, Vivols from Uma Musume Pretty Derby, IJN Kazagumo from Azur Lane, Beanstalk from Arknights, Kaoruko Hanayagi from Revue Starlight, Gaelijah, Unicon Chemy, Happyclover Chemy, and Junglejan Chemy from Kamen Rider Gotchard, Alice Myojingawa from Tantei Opera Milky Holmes, and so much more!

It is unknown what deck Senka ran before Season 2 of DivineZ began, but she now runs a Brandt Gate Nation deck, a nation filled with science, technology, and so much more while being covered in a vast blanket of snow. Her ace unit is the Grade 3 known as Destined One of Exceedance, Impauldio! However to explain Impauldio, we need to talk about the ai system that supports Impauldio aka the token field spell known as SYSTEM CODE: X-ceed! When the game begins, Senka summons the SYSTEM CODE: X-ceed token and places it into her field spell zone! This token is very special since it can only be used with Impauldio and makes it stronger every time Senka takes damage! When Senka DOES take damage, X-ceed activates to put a card from the graveyard under X-ceed as an AutoMOD gauge and gives the Vanguard +5,000 attack EACH TIME Senka takes damage! So even if Senka takes damage, X-ceed makes sure the opponent must put more cards on the field to attack since X-ceed will keep adding more and more power as it learns how the opponent operates and acts accordingly~! Now, let's talk about the main robot itself, Impauldio~! Impauldio is a level 3 card that puts a card from your graveyard as an AutoMOD gauge and then calls a level 3 or lower card from the top five cards of your deck! Then, Impauldio gets the ability "your front row gains +5,000 for EVERY two of your AutoMOD gauges"! This basically means if you have two gauges, the front row gets +5,000! If you have two, +10,000! Three is +15,000, and so on! Like the rest of the Destined Ones, Impauldio possesses the Divine Skill which is an ability the player can only use once per game! If the opponent has a level 3 or greater Vanguard and you have four or more AutoMOD gauges, discard a card from your hand, deal the opponent and extra damage, and draw more cards when Impauldio attacks! Impauldio has cards that heavily rely on the AutoMOD gauges and it's super easy to accumulate a bunch! Hell, Impauldio can even get up to six cards during the Divine Skill turn due to one of its support cards! As someone who started Impauldio because of Senka, I agree that Impauldio is a very formidable card that, if piloted by the right person, can surely destroy your enemies without much effort! As long as you keep analyzing your opponent like Impauldio does, you'll be able to land a HUGE hit with BIIIIIG FAT numbers that your opponent can't defend against!

WIFE IT MY WIFE SENKA WIFE AHHHHH I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!!

Senka Kanae x Gender-Neutral Reader

There were too many words you could use to describe Kanae Senka.

Energetic, battle-driven, headstrong, powerful- these were always the first words that came to your mind if you had to describe your idol to everyone.

When her smile flashed across her face after receiving a hard earned victory, you couldn't help but cheer for her victory. Even if she lost, she never took it to heart and would always compliment her opponents for how strong they were.

"Senka-chan is just so…"

"Huh?"

Senka's rough voice snapped you back to reality as she stared at you from across the diner table, glaring with a confused look on her face. "The hell are you even going on about?"

"Sorry, Senka-chan!" you blushed, closely holding your cards to your chest. "I was just…reminiscing. That's all."

Senka merely sighed as she began to fan herself with her cards. "So that's what this is about…"

"Sorry…are you mad?"

"Mad?" Senka asked. "Why the hell would I be? You just seemed to be zoning out, so I got worried."

"…thank you, Senka-chan."

"Y-you don't need to thank me," Senka huffed after witnessing your smile. "You're just another rival I need to overcome! I can't go all out if you're not in tip top shape, you know!"

"Heh..I know."

"Now hurry up!" Senka spat. "Let's finish this game before the food gets here!"

You merely nodded, picking up your cards. "Right. I swear that I'll overcome you! It's my turn! Stand and draw!"

Happy birthday Senka!

[big-fan-10]

Because of how interactive Brandt Gate Decks can be there are some mistakes you are bound to make when playing them,,, seriously I keep kicking myself when I confirm the wrong thing.

Like with Daiyusha I make the mistake of selecting DaiBase in my hand after adding it with Pansmermia, forgetting that the resolution is discarding a card, and that the being able to use a second Set Order comes afterwards, resulting in my 4th Set Order being lost to the Drop.

Then there is Arrestor Messiah, where I mix-up the order of operations and use Alter-Ego's on Stride Skill before using Arrestor's Skill to call it out, meaning I am unable to Un-Lock Arrestor to trigger it's power boost Skill, and instead have to Lock a separate Rear-Guard causing me to loose a Boost.

And worst of all(So Far, have not gotten much practice with Orfist) is Welstra "Blitz Arms", who's best Rear-Guard Fentlichta let's you Operate your Products without paying the Operation Cost,,, meaning you can use Freischutz Maximum's retire and power reduction more then once in a Turn and save the final part of the Operation; returning a Rear-Guard and calling it for the end of your Battle Phase, either with Welstra or Freiheit. Like you get so used to cancelling on the Pay the Cost Stage you do it when you mean to call, losing out on your 4th Attack when your Opponent is at 5 damage preventing Euryanthe from acting as a source of damage.
