The new Shinemon arc takes place before the events of last year’s Middle School arc, when Shinemon Nitta was in his third year of high school.
(Ark Note: The 2018 Anime confirms Chrono exists and will be about 6th Grade or so by the end of Aichi’s adventures)
Shinemon Nitta, voiced by Syuta Morishima
“If thinking stops you in your tracks, stop thinking and start acting!
Something is sure to happen, as long as you take action”
This story of the new protagonist Shinemon Nitta is the story of the past of the Shin Nitta that we know as the manager of Card Capital, 10 years back.
Rive Shindou, voiced by Makoto Furukawa
“Shinemon, do your best as you see fit!”
Mikuru Shindou, voiced by Yui Horie
“Declaring yourself the manager is fine and all, but you haven’t thought about the future, have you?”
Tatsuya Tachibana, voiced by Seiji Maeda
“Shinemon, you’re so cool!”
Mark Whiting, voiced by Daisuke Hyuga

Shinemon Nitta uses the Genesis clan, and his avatar is “Uranus”, a young aspirant that can open an “Astral Plane”, while “Valkerion” is a special Elemental that can only exist in the “Astral Plane”.
Card Capital Team
As expected with his fascination with ninjas, Mark is using Nubatama, and his unit is “Akatsuki Hanzo”.
Rive was shown to use Tachikaze during the G arcs, but is using Nova Grappler this time, fighting alongside the unit “God Hand”.
The new character Tatsuya uses Angel Feather, and his unit is the remake of “Cosmo Healer, Ergodiel”.
(Notes:
Mark’s Unit is something like “Fiend Demonic Stealth Dragon, Akatsuki Hanzo”
Rive’s Unit is something like “Battle Fist Dragon, God Hand Dragon”.)
Esuka’s Team
Esuka uses Great Nature, with the talented fox “Isabelle” as her unit.
Nanami uses the remake of “Arboros Dragon” and Neo Nectar, while Tonori uses the remake of “Agravain” and Gold Paladin.
(Notes:
Esuka’s Ace is something like “Great Sage of Dark Shadows, Isabelle”
Nanami’s remake is “Arboros Dragon, Sephirot”
Tonori’s remake is “Knight of Fury, Agravain”, an old Megablast Unit for Gold Paladin.)

Then came the attempt to take over the store by Esuka Hibino, the owner of a major card shop.
