In General

  • In this series the units are Suddenly Voiced and the way a unit boosts is more creative instead of only glowing and giving the attacker more power. Examples range using a rear guard as a ride, connecting with them through cables or use them as a weapon! This really gives us the image that the units are alive and that the fighters are truly using their imagination to the fullest especially when you compare it to the original series.

Series

    Foo Fighters Arc 
  • Image 3: A nice subversion of how their original fight went, where Aichi only had Gancelot as a Grade 3 against Kamui and ultimately lost after being overwhelmed. In this continuity, Aichi faces off against Kamui's Raizers which posed a great treat when coming after Aichi delivering 6 attacks. For Aichi though, he never believed he was going to lose and masterfully guards his attack. In addition, Aichi has a complete deck this time complete with Alfred Early and many good supporters and manages to run through Kamui.
  • Image 9: The Cardfight betweeen Kai and Koutei shows us impressive plays and plans from both fighters.
    • Koutei chooses to only give the power to Daiyusha, but not the critical which he gives to a rear guard, because Daiyusha's own Skill allows him to get an extra critical and bring Kai's damage to 4. This causes Kai to lose out on a heal trigger and he is forced to guard against Koutei's rear guard attack. Koutei also allows Dragonic Overlord's attack to hit him in order to decrease the amount of cards in Kai's hand. He even superior rides Great Daiyushanote  and nearly defeated Kai. Kai even said that the fight could have gone either way.
    • Kai manages to keep his calm during the fight and make good plays and judgements despite the massive amount of power Koutei's units have. He is able to guard against Koutei's attack with the heal trigger he drew in his second last turn and finish the game with Dragonic Overlord's attack.
  • Image 10: This episode confirms that Aichi indeed has more than one copy of Blaster Blade in his decknote  unlike the original series, meaning he doesn't have to rely on luck to get a Blaster Blade to ride on. This also makes his two Alfreds, whose skills are reliant on Blaster Blade, more useful.
    • Seeing Aichi somehow have a vision and intercept without even realizing it. It didn't last long, but showing the vision from Aichi's point of view (Rather than a third person perspective) was a very nice and awesome treat.
  • Image 13: When Kyou defeats Kamui and scatters his deck on the ground. Nagisa tries to pick them up, but Aichi tells her she doesn't need to do that. Why? Because it's Kyou's job! This came from a boy that was once to shy to say something in class. Now he's saying something like that against a top member of a group that takes over other card shops. He also said this without any influence from PSYqualia!
  • Image 14: Aichi defeating Kyou through PSYqualia which allows him to Superior Ride Soul Saver Dragon from his deck and give his units a lot of power. His victory does not only means that Voyage is safe, but also that Kyou has to follow his part of the agreement.
  • Image 23: Aichi riding a Grade 4, Exculpate the Blaster! This unit can attack all the units of the opponent and then it turns back into Blaster Blade for yet another attack.
    • Not only that but the scene where Exculpate becomes Blaster Blade again is itself Legendary, with Blaster Blade materializing far off in the distance, and slowly and coolly walking his way towards the battlefield ready to take on Ren and defeat him.
  • Image 24: Kai's and Aichi's rematch, but unlike the manga, Aichi uses Exculpate the Blaster instead of Soul Saver Dragon and nearly beats Kai with it. However Kai's desire to defeat Aichi is so great that he awakens PSYqualia himself which allows him to survive and rides his own Grade 4, Transcendence Dragon, Dragonic Nouvelle Vague whose skills are specifically against PSYqualia users like Aichi and allows him to win the game.

    High School Arc 
  • Image 38: Ren shows PSYqualia Zombie Asaka what he learned in his fight against Aichi. That the predictions they see through PSYqualia aren't absolute. He then rides Gust Blaster Dragon and with it's skills gains a total of 4 Criticals and to top it of he shows that he still can use PSYqualia and with it gets 2 critical Triggers which he uses to banish the curse that haunts Asaka.
  • Image 41: Angry about Ibuki deleting Kyou's bond with Vanguard. Aichi actually takes Ibuki's deck from his hand to prevent him from fighting any other PSYqualia Zombies.
  • Image 49:
    • In order to ensure that Brandt can't get any advantages against them anymore. The Royal Paladin units on Cray interfere with Aichi's fight against Ibuki and save him from both being Deleted and being a PSYqualia Zombie.
    • They then give him a fraction of their power which manifests as another Grade 4, Arc Saver Dragon, whose skill allows Aichi to rally up his Blaster Units and defeat Ibuki.
  • Image 51: In order to defeat Brandt once and for all, the units on Cray give Aichi their powers once more. This time it manifests into Messianic Lord Blaster whose skills gives it a total of 77000 power and 6 criticals.

    High School Arc Continued 
  • Dimension 1: Misaki blackmailing the Student Council in accepting a Vanguard competition to save the Cardfight Club. She does this by realizing that the club permission sheet has the seal of approval of the council which means that president either didn't adhere to the regulations or he's bad at math. However either of them would be damaging to his career if it were to be revealed.
  • Dimension 6: The return of Dragonic Overlord The End. Kai was unable to defeat Mamoru several times as a result of being Deleted, but in their last fight, he was able to ride The End and use it's abilities to defeat Mamoru and thus starting the first step in his recovery.
  • Dimension 8: Ibuki managing to get over his fear of using Delete and uses it to defeat Leon. He then gains the Messiah units which shall serve as the first step in his atonement.

    Shinemon Arc 
  • Remind 26: Tatsuya defeating Ryuzu and unsurping the position of Big Bad from him!
  • Remind 27:
    • It turns out that Tatsuya was the one who funded Ryuzu lab which means that whole time he was the true Big Bad all along. Even Rive admitted it was impressive that a 'child' like Tatsuya was able to trick both Ryuzu and him.
    • Tatsuya showing that he knew more than Ryuzu in their research by revealing that simply having Chrono was enough to summon units. He managed to uncover this by repeatedly watching the video of Chronotiger Rebellion's summoning.
  • Remind 28:
    • Shinemon defeating Tatsuya and convincing him to move on from his parents' death instead of trying to resurrect them.
    • Rive saving Chrono from being sucked into Cray, at the cost of getting sucked in himself.
  • Remind 30:
    • Chrono succeeding at surviving Shin's onslaught which includes an Uranus with 3 Force I Gift Markers, a Valkerion who could attack twice with the first one having a Quintet Drive and a rear guard with a power of 63000.
    • Chrono reintroducing Chronodragon Nextage and although its attack was blocked by a Perfect Guard, it transforms back into Chronojet Dragon and deals the last damage needed for Chrono to win. The animation of both dragons is just GORGEOUS with special mention to Chronojet Dragon's final attack in which Shin's units try to block its attack, only for Chronojet to shrug all of them off. On top of that Chrono's theme from G, "Chrono's Fight", is played during this moment.

    Extra Story -If- Arc 
  • if 2: The episode shows a pretty good one pretty early as Shuka takes the Gear Chronicle deck to allow Emi to summon Chronojet Dragon to fight alongside Blaster Blade. They even fist bump before they return.
