Comic Natalie reported earlier this year that the TV anime side of the Cardfight Vanguard!! multimedia franchise had around 582 episodes. The franchise’s official Twitter/X account announced later that month that production of the anime series will continue until there are 700 total episodes.
The earlier entries (not counting each series’ individual seasons) includes 2011’s Cardfight!! Vanguard, 2014’s Cardfight!! Vanguard G, and 2018’s Cardfight!! Vanguard (a new version of the 2011 anime). The Cardfight!! Vanguard anime is now focused on the D Series, which includes 2021’s Cardfight!! Vanguard overDress, 2022’s Cardfight!! Vanguard will+Dress, and the current Cardfight!! Vanguard DivineZ.
Cardfight!! Vanguard DivineZ currently has two conventionally labelled seasons and the new Cardfight!! Vanguard DivineZ Deluxe Arc, which is also available with English subtitles on the official Cardfight!! Vanguard YouTube channel. In January 2023, it was announced that the overall D Series would have nine seasons, with the ninth season to debut in July 2025. Afterwards, it was revealed that plans for a 10th season and beyond were in development.
Crunchyroll has streamed previous entries of the franchise, and is also streaming Cardfight!! Vanguard DivineZ worldwide, excluding Japan, China, North Korea, and South Korea.
The main premise for Cardfight!! Vanguard DivineZ Deluxe Arc is described as:
Deluxe — the tournament to determine the strongest in Vanguard! While invitations are being sent to top-tier fighters, Akina enjoys the cultural festival, when a mysterious man named Kagetsu Yakumo appears before him. Who could he possibly be…?!
