December 2012 Updates
(i) Anime Season 3
The official tittle for the Season 3 anime will be: Cardfight!! Vanguard: Link Joker Chapter
Season 3 also known as Cardfight!! Vanguard Link Joker will focus more on high school life, with most of the main characters splitting up to attend different schools. Q4 is reformed at Miyaji High School, with the new main characters being Aichi, Misaki, and Kourin (whose last name is now Tatsunagi, meaning she's probably related to Takuto), along with two new protagonists, Ishida Naoki, who uses Narukami, and Komoi Shingo, whose clan is unknown, but could be a new clan premiering in BT10.
Kai, Kamui, Miwa, Morikawa, Izaki, Reiji, and Eiji will all attend Hitsue High and Middle schools. Emi and Mai will join the new Q4 at Miyaji Middle School. The other members of Ultra Rare, Takuto, Ren, Asuka, and Leon will also be returning, but with no indication of roles (with Tetsu being conspicuously absent). Other returning characters include Team S.I.T. Genius, the sub-manager, Dr. O., and MC Miya. Rounding out the "important characters MIA" list are Shin, Team Caesar, and Team Handsome.
