At the end of the Battle... (戦いの果てに…) is the 50th episode of Cardfight!! Vanguard: Season 1 in the Cardfight!! Vanguard Anime.

Overview[]

The back-alley battle between Aichi and Kai comes to a pulse-pounding conclusion! It's the moment Aichi's been waiting for, but is this the fight he really wants?

Plot[]

Aichi and Kai continue their card fight. However, when Kai manages to survive Aichi's supposed "Final Turn" Aichi is left confused at how his Psyqualia could have been wrong. Kai states Aichi is still weak because he has just been relying on his powers, with Aichi screaming he isn't weak because it is thanks to him his team is winning at Nationals and how he is the one who defeated all their opponents. Kai says none of that is real strength because Psyqualia gives him an unfair advantage and nothing more. Kai reminds Aichi of his connection to Blaster Blade and his Royal Paladins, and how he was getting stronger on his own for so long, starting from when Blaster Blade was stolen from him by Morikawa and he faced Kai to get him back. Aichi realizes how much he has changed, and how all he wanted to do was face Kai as his equal and his friend, and this isn't how he pictured their battle. Aichi acknowledges that although Blaster Dark is strong he isn't his true Avatar, with Blaster Dark warning him that is a big mistake. Aichi reclaims his original deck from Kai, finally retuning to his old self.
