About Cardfight Vanguard
Vanguard started in 2011 with Aichi across 65 episodes plus Asia Circuit, Link Joker and Legion Mate through 2014. The G era ran 2014 to 2018 across G, GIRS, Stride Gate, Next and Z. The 2018 reboot restarts with Prime, High School, Shinemon prequel and Gaiden if through 2020.
OverDress in 2021 starts a new cast, with Will Dress and DivineZ running into Parallactic Clash in January 2026. Parallactic Fate in November 2026 and a 2027 anniversary anime are dated next. Watch original, then G, then reboot, then Dress. Shinemon fits before the reboot main story but aired later.
Good to know
Shinemon is a prequel set 15 years before the reboot, while Gaiden if is a what if branch, so release order keeps them where intended rather than first. The 2018 reboot and Dress eras each restart casts, so treat them as fresh starts. DivineZ Parallactic Fate and the 2027 anime sit last with null years until they air as of September 2026.
