Aichi Sendou

About Sendou, Aichi

Aichi starts out as a shy, timid kid who lacks confidence in himself—until a chance encounter with Kai changes everything. Kai gives him Blaster Blade and tells him to imagine himself big and strong like the knight on the card. The gesture sticks with him. Even though Kai moves away shortly after, Aichi builds a deck specifically to find him and have a proper cardfight someday. He transfers schools to escape constant bullying, and eventually settles into life with his mom and younger sister Emi. Once he gets serious about Vanguard, his usual habits shift—no more needing his sister to drag him out of bed for school. The game gives him direction and purpose. His Royal Paladin deck becomes his signature, anchored by Blaster Blade and rounded out with heavy hitters like Alfred the King of Knights, Soul Saver Dragon, and Majesty Lord Blaster. For his final showdown with Ren, he tweaks things by splashing in Blaster Dark alongside his Paladins to unlock Majesty Lord Blaster's full potential. By season 2, Aichi shifts to Gold Paladins, making Incandescent Lion, Blond Ezel his new ace card. He leans into the clan's strength—superior calling units straight from the deck using combos like Blade Feather Valkyrie and Flash Edge Valkyrie, plus Nimue and Viviane to trigger on-call effects. In season 3, he settles on Gold Paladins as his main clan and goes all-in on Liberators, a line originally rooted in Royal Paladins. His ace becomes Blaster Blade Liberator, his reborn avatar. Later he rebuilds the deck around Liberator of Bonds, Gancelot Zenith as his Crossbreak Ride, which lets him create massive units and fill his field while keeping his hand intact using cards like Viviane and Escrad.
