It is an invitation to “DELUXE”, the tournament to determine the strongest Vanguard fighter!
The third iteration of the tournament is packed with must-see matchups produced by AI Gui, featuring the miraculous return of Michiru Hazama, and the legendary strongest fighter of Mythisch, Kagetsu Yakumo.
And in the midst of this tournament, Akina is faced with a question posed to him by Nao’s mentor Kagetsu:
“What is your reason for playing Vanguard?”
What is the meaning behind this question? And how will Akina respond?
The quest for the pinnacle of DELUXE begins now!
