Cardfight!! Vanguard Watch Order

Watching Cardfight!! Vanguard in order can be tricky as there are multiple versions of the series, and new seasons set in a completely different universe. For this reason, we’ve put together two different lists separating the universes.

Alongside the original series, but still set in the same universe, there was also a reboot in 2018. We’d suggest starting with the 2011 original and sticking to the release order as you watch.

Main Cardfight!! Vanguard Universe Watch Order
