04x05 - Shall We Duel? Invitation to a Pair Duel

[bunniefuu]

Senior Asuka!

Say "cheese!"

Come on... It won't be as good if you don't smile , will it?

But why are you taking pictures?

We're all part of the Graduation Album Production Committee.

--That's right!--That's right!

Graduation Album?

I see... I guess it's already time...

You worked hard for your memories, so let's see more of your fun side!

Cheese!

Geez... You're not smiling, you know...

I'm sorry...

Nah, a lot did go on around here, and you're all worn-out, Senior-saurus.

That's not really why...

'K, then!

We Juniors'll step to the plate and pile up a bunch of memories for you Seniors-saurus!

What do you have in mind?

Having the Graduation Album Production Committee go and whip up a party-don !

A party ?

--Good idea!--Sounds great !

Don't ever forget the dream that started it all!

Don't ever forget the dream that started it all!

Just keep chasing it down!Keep holding on!

Just keep chasing it down!Keep holding on!

I was about to give up on my unreachable broken dreams...

I was about to give up on my unreachable broken dreams...

...on these deserted promises...

...on these deserted promises...

Those words you stuck into my heart just won't fade away...

Those words you stuck into my heart just won't fade away...

...as I keep repeating them in my mind.

...as I keep repeating them in my mind.

But now, all this wind is pushing right into my back!

But now, all this wind is pushing right into my back!

Shall We Duel? An Invitation to the Pair Duel

A dueling party?

It'll be in a week.

We're throwin' it in the gym-saurus!

Whoa... A dueling party, huh?

It does seem interesting...

And it'd be cool if you came, Senior Asuka-don .

S-Sure...

Oh, one more thing...

I was hoping you'd get Big Bro Judai to come, too-saurus.

Wha? Judai ? Why me ?

Big Bro's the only one we can't really find...

We haven't snapped one picture of him, so we're in a bind-saurus.

No... I mean, why should I --

Well, he's all yours-don !

Kenzan-kun !

Great...

Kenzan-kun 's really antsy about this!

It feels like he'll be the next leader of the Duel Academia, doesn't it?

We Third-Years should do our best, too.

That reminds me...

Momoe and Junko, your Teacher Employment Exam for the Dueling Kids' School is coming up, right?

Yep! It'll be next month!

And Miss Asuka, you'll be staying here at the Duel Academia as a research student, right?

Ri-Right...

Oh, you honor students!

It must be nice to know what career you're going into!

Oh, Junko-san ...

So, these are from Freshman Year? How nostalgic...

Wha? Studying abroad?

Yes. I took the liberty...

...of writing you a recommendation letter for the North American Duel College.

Tenjouin-kun , if you feel at all inclined, I've been told they will admit and reserve a seat for you at any time.

But I wanted to stay here at the Duel Academia as a research--

Dabadabada!

It is a great career move for the best among the Ladies of Blue, is it not, Signora Asuka?

You must use what you've cultivated at this academy to expand your knowledge, no?

Ri-Right...

Of course, being a research student here or studying abroad is your choice to make.

There is still time, so think it over carefully...

...and give me a good answer.

I haven't seen him with this face at all lately...

I doubt I'll find my answer by coming here, but...

Where did you run off to, my Judai?

Oh, Judai!

It's Rei...

Judai- kun, should you be so nonchalant with the thr*at of another strange event looming- nya?

I've got both Chairman Pegasus and Old Man Kagemaru helping me, so until O'Brien has some new info for me...

...all I can do now is lie back and wait.

How relaxing- nya...

Well, you are being you, so I'm not particularly worried- nya...

So, that's where he went!

Oh, Judai !

Judai?

I heard that you haven't taken one picture for our Graduation Album!

Huh? Oh, I guess...

Hey! Get over here!

Idiot! Be careful!

All right! They came out perfectly!

Rei, it looks like you'll be in our Graduation Album, too!

Lucky!

That was it, right?

Wait a minute!

Graduation's not all that far away, so shouldn't you be helping out more?

Sure, after what went on in that other world, things with us have gotten a bit rocky, but...

But even so, we've fought together as friends for three years at this Duel Academia, haven't we?

Judai...

Hey, Judai!

We're having a dueling party next week!

Please try to make it.

If I feel like it, sure.

I wonder if he really isn't coming...

Fighting together as friends...

And now, for today's main program!

Pittin' the Third-Years against the underclassmen, let's start up this Pair Duel Tournament-saurus!

A Pair Duel Tournament?

We'll split into Third-Years and underclassmen, pairin' up into boy/girl teams to face off in Tag Duels-saurus!

But just to switch things up a bit, we'll play by a different set of rules-don !

You'll both battle the opposing pair as you rotate to take your turns-saurus!

Wait, what?

So basically, other than having four hands and decks, isn't it just like a regular duel?

Hmm... Just one field, huh?

I guess we'll have to work out our combinations with our partners...

I see... A more advanced way of Tag-Dueling, huh?

In which case...

All right!

Pick your partners and head out to our Duel Arena over at the big gym-don !

Miss Asuka!

Hmph...

There's only one lady who deserves to pair up with the Manjoume Thunder...

Tenjouin-kun !

Please, won't you pair up with me ?

Miss Asuka! Won't you pair up with me ?

H-Hey! I'm going to be with Tenjouin-kun !

I am!

You little...

What's a flunky like you so uppity about?!

A what ?!

What's so bad about that ?!

Sh-Shouldn't you just pair up with Judai or something?

And why should I have to go pair up with another guy?!

You two are just made for each other!

You're really popular, Miss Asuka.

--You two are just made for each other!

--You jerk!

I'm going out for some fresh air...

Wha?

You're not going to be in the Pair Duel?

I just don't really feel like it.

A-Asuka...

Judai...

Look at that !

Looks like Senior Asuka just picked Big Bro Judai as her partner-don !

These two are the strongest pair of Third-Years out there-saurus!

Figures...

They do match...

Oh, no... Tenjouin-kun ...

But I asked her first...

Asuka, what's this about?

Hey...

So, why do you and I have to pair up?

Still, all this time and we've never really paired up to duel, have we?

It's refreshing, isn't it?

Well, I'm just giving it my all no matter how we duel.

Boring...

I wanted to pair up with my Judai, too...

The rules keep all the Third-Years from pairin' up with underclassmen-saurus.

Just cut him some slack-don .

I can't take it...

Why is the Manjoume Thunder a leftover ?

There's no helping it...

There are more male students at the Duel Academia, you know.

The pair across from you is the one you'll take on first-don !

P-Principal?

Mrs. Tome?

Why did you two get mixed in with the underclassmen?

We wanted to be a special part of all your memories, too, Judai-chan !

Well, Mrs. Tome suggested it, and I just couldn't refuse...

We won't hold back, Judai-kun ! Tenjouin-kun !

Huh? I Mrs. Tome didn't know how to duel...

But then, maybe she's actually about to...

Now, let's start up our Pair Duels-don !

Duel!!

The first move will be mine.

I draw!

I now activate Fusion.

Using the two Cyber Ogres in my hand as materials...

...I Fusion-Summon Cyber Ogre !

I place one card face down, ending my turn.

You've summoned a high-level, -ATK monster already...

But you are our Principal.

It's my turn! I draw!

We can use this on our next--on Judai's turn...

For now, let's build up our defense...

I summon Etoile Cyber in Defense Mode!

I place one card face-down to end my turn.

I leave this to you, Mrs. Tome.

Right! You're in good hands!

Now, bring it!

Come at me however you like!

E-Er... Mrs. Tome...

Mrs. Tome, the first thing you do is draw a card from your deck.

My, you're right...

I draw!

This one should do the trick!

I summon my Marshmallon!

Well? It says it won't be destroyed in a battle!

Still, even in att*ck Mode, Etoile Cyber has DEF, so it can't defeat her...

Huh? What? I can't win by battling with it?

Then, that settles that ! I end my turn!

Wha? You're not attacking with Cyber Ogre ?

Well, it's the Principal's, isn't it?

Do you mean that I could've used it?

It's in the rules for these Pair Duels...

My, how impressive , Mrs. Tome! What a boldly original strategy!

I could never have of dueling as you are!

Come now, Principal... Don't flatter me so much...

I guess I'm up...

Judai, they're all yours.

My turn!

Wait... You're not going to check my face-down card?

Here I go!

I draw!

I activate Fusion!

I'll fuse Sparkman with Necrodarkman to summon Elemental Hero Dark Brightman!

All right...

I figured Judai would manage one of his Fusion Summons...

Battle! I use Dark Brightman to att*ck Marshmallon!

Hey, wait...

My Marshmallon won't be destroyed in battle, right?

It won't be destroyed, but it's in att*ck Mode, so Damage Calculation still gets applied.

That can't be good...

Here goes!

Dark Flash!!

Now, if he activates the Fusion Cancel I just set, he'll get to att*ck more and settle our victory...

What gives, Judai? Hurry and check my face-down card!

From my hand, I activate Fusion Cancel!

Wha? From his hand?!

It cancels Dark Brightman's fusion, Special-Summoning Sparkman and Necrodarkman!

I use Sparkman to att*ck Marshmallon!

Spark Flash!!

I att*ck with Necrodarkman!

Dark Scratch!!

Mrs. Tome!

What have you done to Mrs. Tome?!

Mark my words, I will avenge her on my next turn!

Well...

You can't avenge her when your Life's already at zero ...

Oh, no!

Principal Samejima and Mrs. Tome...

They were a doomed combo...

I'm so ashamed...

It's fine, Principal!

Mrs. Tome...

We did lose, but it was a lot of fun getting to duel those two!

Well...

I'm quite glad that you've enjoyed yourself, Mrs. Tome...

Mrs. Tome...

Oh, Principal...

Sorry about that, Mrs. Tome... Principal...

Judai, my face-down card...

No, never mind...

Then, I'll see you later.

Sure, using my card or the one in his hand wouldn't have made a difference, but...

Another win for us -don !

Hey, Rei? What's up-saurus?

You don't look happy-don ...

She's lucky...

Whoa ! Impressive!

Looks like Big Bro Judai and Senior Asuka's pair is pullin' through just fine-saurus!

I equip Ritual w*apon to Cyber Angel - Benten!

I place one card face-down to end my turn.

It's their first turn, and she has a -ATK monster out there...

That is Senior Asuka, y'know!

I equip Mist Body to my Stone Statue of the Aztecs!

A monster equipped with Mist Body won't be destroyed in battle...

My face-down card is Cyclone...

If I activate it, I can destroy his pesky Equip Magic, but...

...if I do it now, there's a chance they'll set something else up...

I end my turn.

That's right...

No need to be hasty--we'll get to destroy it on Judai's next turn...

Judai, you can do--

He's ignoring my face-down card again?!

I draw!

I summon Flare Scarab!

And next, through my Fake Hero...

...I Special-Summon Neos!

I'll Contact-Fuse both of them!

Show yourself, Elemental Hero Flare Neos!

I activate the Field Magic, Neo Space!

I activate the Magic Card, Heat Heart!

Thanks to the effects of Neo Space and Heat Heart...

...Flare Neos's ATK gets raised by points!

That Magic card double-combo got him a good power-up-don ...

Amazing...

And that's not all!

This is where the best magic comes in!

I activate Inherited Power!

I send Cyber Angel - Benten to the Cemetery...

...to have her original ATK added to my Flare Neos!

And next is Flare Neos's Monster Effect!

Each Magic and Trap card out on the field raises his ATK by points!

An ATK of !

With that much, all the Piercing Damage from Heat Heart's effect'll wipe them out-saurus...

Battle!

I use Flare Neos to att*ck Stone Statue of the Aztecs!

Burn to Ashes!!

Hang in there!

Is he all right?

Well, it's nothing personal!

Judai!

What made you angry?

What's your deal?

You haven't been bothering to check my face-down cards...

And I'd just powered up Benten with my Equip Magic, but you didn't think twice about sacrificing her!

Isn't it enough that we won ?

No, it's not! We're Pair -Dueling!

You have to trust me more as your partner, too!

What are you talking about?

All I'm doing is dueling at % so we're able to win !

If anything, you should trust me ...

What was that?!

Asuka...

You have to use your best card to go grab onto...

...that shining, endless dueling dream you want to come true.

Your courage has sparked up dramas of wonder...

You'll see that they won't end.

Franklin Gothic Medium Cond So, let's go make a chance out of this pinch we're in.

We'll do it... We sure will.

That rainbow bridge will get crossed over...

...and the future will be ours to hold!

Beyond that door, we're sure to find...

...that there's a dark shadow standing in our way...

...so keep your crimson flames alight!

You have to use your best card to go grab onto...

Ending Theme

...that shining, endless dueling dream you want to come true.

Franklin Gothic Medium Cond It won't matter what kind of rough times we're all in for...

...just as long as you take in the smiles of the friends you trust.

Big Bro and Miss Asuka aren't really the best combination...

I just knew Miss Asuka should've gone with me !

We're dueling just fine, so what's Asuka so upset about?

Big Bro! You don't know how a woman's heart works!

We just have to win, don't we?

Next time: "Judai VS Asuka! A Hidden-Affection Face-Down Card!"

That's not going to help! Geez!

You know... I really haven't dueled Asuka in a while...

Today's best card is Elemental Hero Dark Brightman!

He's a hero fused from Sparkman and Necrodarkman--light and dark!

His ATK's , his DEF is , and his three powers'll lead you to a win!
