This follows a general trend in Vanguard of using historical names for characters. His forename primarily refers to the Aichi prefecture of Chubu, Japan. His Vanguard Circle's color is blue but when using a Shadow Paladin deck, the color changes to dark blue.Īccording to Kerokero Ace September 2011, Aichi's surname is written with the kanji for vanguard (先導), the forward element in a military formation (and, of course, a reference to the title of the franchise). When starting to play Vanguard, he believes more in himself, becoming a powerful Vanguard Fighter.

He is a somewhat shy and timid young man who wishes to be a Vanguard Fighter, but has never had the chance to have a real fight until his second encounter with Kai. In Cardfight!! Vanguard G: NEXT, he comes back to Japan during summer break and goes to meet Kouji Ibuki with Chrono. He also sends his Stride Force to Chrono Shindou during his fight against Ryuzu. Because of his absence, Team Q4 is forced to fight Team TRY3 in the G Quest's Ultimate stage without him. In Cardfight!! Vanguard G, Aichi is studying abroad in America and is recruited by Ibuki to help with Plan G. As a result of playing host to the Void's seed, Aichi himself ends up becoming the main antagonist in Kai's quest to bring him back. Consequently, Kai set out to find Aichi and becomes the main protagonist during this period, although the spotlight is still on him. For the duration of season 4, Aichi was sealed by his own volition to keep Link Joker sealed away with him, while leaving his friends in the dark.

He is also the main protagonist of Cardfight!! Vanguard Movie: Neon Messiah, along with Toshiki Kai. 'Aichi Sendou' is the main protagonist of Cardfight!! Vanguard anime and manga. Aichi Sendou, Whenever he rides/calls a unit with Blaster Blade in its name.
