Episode I of the new chapter of The Chronicles, “Dogmatika Ecclesia, the Virtuous”, is out:
Albaz’s voice (credited as “Dragon Boy”) belongs to Kouki Uchiyama.
The following are fragments of a special feature of the most recent V-JUMP magazine:
A Fantasy World Depicted on a Massive Scale!!
Following the praised “Sky Striker” chapter, “The Fallen & The Virtuous” will be the next animation depicting more than 4 themes mixed together, such as “Dogmatika” and “Tri-Brigade”. This world is built along about 200 cards from the OCG, and from those cards alone a rich story can be conjectured. Furthermore, instead of the near-futuristic city from the “Sky Striker” chapter, the stage for this chapter will be centered around the “Dogmatika Nation” in a pure fantasy world. For that purpose, in the “The Fallen & The Virtuous” chapter, the art for the scenery and the designs of the characters has been completely changed from the past work. What kind of troubles await the Holy Maiden, tasked with the fate of a nation, and a “Dragon” boy in their journey?…Witness the opening of this play in the prologue, “Dogmatika Ecclesia, the Virtuous”!“The Fallen & The Virtuous” will consist of 6 episodes in total!!
In the first episode, the events of a Dragon appearing out of nowhere in the Dogmatika Nation, its clash with Fleurdelis, and the encounter of the Holy Maiden and the boy will be depicted. Later, the “Tri-Brigade” and “Springans” will also make their appearance, making the story even more exciting.The Fallen & The Virtuous I STORY
Dogmatika Ecclesia, the Virtuous
A closed-off land, with “The Dogmatika Nation” at its northmost point. Its people were granted “holy stigmata” by their religious leader, “Maximus”. This country, governed by his teachings, maintained its solid position. One day, the religious leader granted his blessings to “Ecclesia”: The only Holy Maiden in history who possessed a holy stigmata on her forehead. After the celebration, Ecclesia sets her eyes on the future along with the Holy Maiden from the previous generation, “Flerudelis”. However, at that very moment, the skies of Dogmatika suddenly cracked open. And from it, a creature that had only existed in folklore had appared: A “dragon”.In the next episode of “The Chronicles”:
“The Fallen & The Virtuous” II: “Dogmatika Fleurdelis, the Knighted”
The “Knight of Dogmatika” who protects Ecclesia has her name featured as the title. From the next episode, the story surrounding Eccledsia and the “Dragon” boy truly begins!
The episode will be released by late July, 2025!!

Now that I think about it… Did Albaz/Branded get a Solo Mode in Master Duels? If not, there’s a missed opportunity there, since they did create a Solo Mode for Sky Striker.
I still don’t like the fact that the Animated Short doesn’t explain much of the Lore and it’s up to external sources to explain what’s going on here.
Apparently, we’ll have “Dogmatika” stuff in the first two Animated Shorts before we get to “Tri-Brigade” and “Springans” stuff.
P.S: Albaz’s JP VA is Kaito from ZEXAL/Arc-V.
we get Shigaraki (My Hero Academia) VA as Albaz huh?
we do, this is going to be interesting
That was way better paced than the Sky Strikers episodes. I guess the SS episodes really were just there to give the team some breathing room to work on Albastory.
Sartorious/Dio
Mordred
Fern

There’s a real chance that Vector voices Aluber
Apparently they retconned the beginning of the Albaz lore slightly. Here Albaz just appears during a random day. However before according to the VBEX story, Albaz was supposed to appear in the middle of a fight between the Dogmatika and the Tri-Brigardes. He was proceeded to be shielded by the tri-brigades and Ecclesia, who then was branded as a traitor. Why the need to retcon the Tri-Brigade part of this so far tbh is beyond me other than wanting to keep the video short😅😅😅😅
it did thats why fleurdelise was not their and their was a bit of for shadowing the tri-brigades in the background it probably is happening we just havent seen it yet
We saw a shady character running through backstreets of Dogmatica city, I assumed that someone feom Tri-Brigade. You know, they seems to be more of a guerilla tactics kind of group. And Ecclessia just found Albaz.
Not a retcon, that stuff should be going down next episode
No it’s actually on point, the tri-brigade were trying to rescue prisoners when albaz came in and caused a disturbance. So nothing is really retconned, but i know the card that you’re talking about. That occurred immediately after the confrontation based on the cards. If you look at nadir and stand off you can see that fleur’s armour was all together but in stand off both her’s and shurag are woren out, meaning that they were in a long battle.
i love seeing nerval or who ever of the tri brigade just walking by in the background
Still too short but much better than Sky Striker
If all the episodes for this are going to be at least 5 minutes then we got a decent 30-minute special out of this at least.
Sky Striker puts you in the middle of nowhere, probably thinking you read the lore in Master Duel. Here clearly they have in mind to make a kinda coherent story from the shorts.
I can’t wait to see Alba System Dogmatikalamity in the finale.
Albaz : This isn’t even my Ultimate Form!
I doubt it. I’d expect if they did the finale, that at least some of the stingers the lore books had (Fallen of Argyros, Guiding Quem, Bystial Aluber) would appear.
Also I think the Alba System is independent of Albaz’s dragon powers, and his final form would be Albion the Sanctifire Dragon.
Guiding Quem is part of the main story….
Fallen of Argyros was… weird.
Konami really wanted to give something for Bystials and Sprights so unexplainably energy of Argyro/Sprights that was used by Tri-Brigade and Spriggans powered up remains of Alba Los. If we ever be back to Albaz story in main set, we may get card(s) justifying Bystial/Spright hybrid.
Oh, and on “Blink Out” we see Argyros floating above wreckage of various Therions monsters. I assume he’s planning to use powers of Argyro and/or Abyss to revive them?
So the inevitable sequel to Albaz’s story will be either:
a) Aluber manipulating Argyros from the Shadows anf Argyros using remaind of Therions as mechanized zombies.
b) Some wild triple threat war between Aluber/Despia, Argyros/Therions and Albaz and his friends.
1 month, 1 episode, 6 minutes long. Wow what a season
Kouki Uchiyama?
