Cardfight!! Vanguard:
The Movie
- A Game of Three -&- Neon Messiah
(3つのゲーム -&- ネオンメサイア)
Official Release Date: 13th September 2014



Trailer 1:

The films are currently scheduled for dual screenings as a single movie in September 2014.

The first movie, A Game of Three (3つのゲーム) will be filmed in live action and star musician-actor Naito Daigo.

The second movie, Neon Messiah (ネオンメサイア), will be animated by LIDENFILMS of Ultra Super Pictures and star professional seiyuu, Yonaga Tsubasa, as the voice of Sendou Aichi. LIDENFILMS had previously done animation work on the franchise's poorly-received second season, Asia Circuit.

Neon Messiah is set to take place between the end of the Link Joker and the currently airing Legion Mate chapters of the anime series, and will explore the events leading up to Aichi's disappearance in the latter season.

Also coming out just today is news regarding the sixteenth (TD16) and seventeenth (TD17) Japanese trial decks, leaked by the manager of the Fukuoka-based card store G-PROJECT.

VG-TD16: Divine Judgment of the Bluish Flames (聖裁の青き炎) will feature the Gold Paladin units used by Quatre Knight's Olivier Gaillard, but the exact nature of TD16's support is not known.

VG-TD17: Will of the Locked Dragon (決意の呪縛竜) has been widely speculated to contain support for the b clan, based on the use of the kanji "呪縛" curse/spell which is also the written form of (ロック) Lock. Without a pronunciation guide, it's uncertain if the intended reading is Locked Dragon; the double meaning may be intentional.

According to G-PROJECT, both decks will be receiving a Beginning Set variant as with TD14 and 15, and will be released on July 11th.
