Series to feature son of Gao as new protagonist

Bushiroad revealed on Friday that a new anime series in the Future Card Buddyfight franchise titled Future Card Buddyfight Ace will premiere on June 2. The anime will feature a new protagonist Yuga Mikado, who is the son of Gao. Yuga's Buddy is Gargantua Dragon, a.k.a. Garga.

The most recent series in the franchise, Future Card Buddyfight X: All-Star Fight, premiered on April 7 and is streaming on the franchise's official YouTube channel with both a Japanese and English version. The anime is based on an "All-Star Fight" booster pack for the Future Card Buddyfight card game that also shipped on April 7.

The previous television anime in the franchise, Future Card Buddyfight X (pronounced "Battsu"), premiered last April. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired in Japan. The series also streamed on the official Future Card Buddyfight YouTube channel in both English-subtitled and English-dubbed versions.

The first series based on Bushiroad's card game premiered in January 2014, and episodes streamed with an English dub on the official Future Card Buddyfight YouTube channel shortly after airing in Japan. Crunchyroll also began streaming dubbed episodes that April. Both platforms are still streaming all 64 episodes of the first series, as well as the first 25 episodes of the second series, with an English dub.

However, from the second series' episode 26 onward the stream switched to Japanese audio with English subtitles. Future Card Buddyfight Triple D, the third television anime series, premiered in April 2016. The official Future Card Buddyfight YouTube channel and Crunchyroll streamed English-subtitled episodes as they aired in Japan.
