Aired on January 29, 2011
Shin examines Aichi's deck and arranges for him to battle Misaki, a card shop employee who has never played Vanguard before. He provides Misaki with a special deck, and the two begin their match. During the fight, Misaki reveals deeper knowledge of the game, drawing multiple cards and riding her grade 3 ace, CEO Amaterasu. She utilizes the Twin Drive ability inherent to grade 3 cards to defeat Aichi. This loss teaches Aichi that he must learn more about Vanguard if he hopes to compete against Kai again. The episode highlights Misaki's hidden skills and Aichi's realization of his own limitations in the game.
