“Taking the world by storm, the card game Cardfight Vanguard has influenced many to integrate card games into their everyday lives,” reads the official synopsis for the anime. “Players of the popular game are called ‘cardfighters,’ and they frequently battle each other in card shops. The game has inspired many people, one of which is the quiet and timid Aichi Sendou, who is often ridiculed and bullied by his peers. Whenever he feels down, he takes a glance at Blaster Blade — a legendary rare card given to him when he was young — and gains the motivation to move on with his life.”
