Cardfight!! Vanguard Link Joker

A few months have passed since VF, and Ishi is now in high school. However, Aichi is at a high school different from most of his friends, a high school where the trainers focus on looking towards the future. One day, Aichi admits that he believes that Cardfight can be a future that people can believe in, but to prove that Aichi must use the new deck, where Paladins Royal Paladins and Gold Paladins are combined as one power. Slowly but steadily, Aichi must win friendships through Cardfighting and help his new team win the newly formed CardFacting Championship.

Inside the Usagiyama Shopping District lies an eccentric but close-knit community of business owners. Tamako Kitashirakawa, a clumsy though adorable teenage girl, belongs to a family of mochi bakers who own a quaint shop called Tama-ya. One day, Tamako stumbles upon a talking bird that presents himself as royalty from a distant land. Dera Mochimazzi, as he calls himself, states that he’s seeking a bride for his country’s prince. Intent on his mission, Dera follows Tamako home and develops an addiction to mochi, becoming painfully overweight and subsequently unable to fly back to his homeland; thus, he takes up residence with Tamako’s family and becomes the community’s beloved mascot.

Meanwhile, Tamako’s friend, Mochizou Ooji, continues to hide his true feelings for her. Their fathers are fierce mochi rivals, but will it be enough to drive a wedge between Tamako and Mochizou? And just what will happen to Dera’s task of finding his prince’s destined bride?
